Neil's Travels

[Neil Tathers]

Neil Tathers stumbles into the hut, wounds covering most of his frame, "You can tell me. YOU CAN TELL ME!"
Neil Tathers eye's glow with an inner red light, "Tell me, WHERE IS HE!"
Neil Tathers grabs a machete at his belt, and stalks across the hut, blood dripping from various wounds, "You will know if he is still dead, if I am seeing visions, wouldn't you?"
Neil Tathers stumbles once more, this time dropping to a knee, and when he does, that inner light seems to go out, "Where am I? What is going on...."
Neil Tathers looks around, "Why am I here?"
Etherdrifter calmly regards the former court vizier, his eyes shimmering
Etherdrifter whispers a soft word and watches the wounds close upon Tathers, his soft murmering presant till the last wound closes
Etherdrifter says “Welcome to the spirit hut Tathers... It has been long since we last met no?”
Etherdrifter chuckles softly
Etherdrifter says “Do tell us your tale... Who is it you seek hrm?”
animejunkie01 says “hello everyone”
You say “He came to me one night, the murderer of my parents, and he taunted me. I've been chasing him ever since.”
You say “I think I may be losing my mind. I don't remember things, how I get to places....”
You say “The only way to keep my mind, is to kill the animals. Hunting them...bathing in their blood.....”
Neil Tathers eye's turn a bright red, his grin becomes contorted, his expressions begin to change, "The animals soon won't be enough. I will have him, and when I do, no one will be safe."
Neil Tathers begins to laugh.
Neil Tathers looks at Etherdrifter, the eyes losing their red color, "What is happening..."

I think that answers your questions.

[Swarm]

Hmm, quite the nail-biter.

[Neil Tathers]

Etherdrifter says “Ah Neil... You desire blood... Armadox... He has marked you. He is not a person, but a spirit. Soon you'll slay all you know.”
Etherdrifter says “Their screams will not be enough”
Etherdrifter says “You'll kill for the sheer pleasure of it...”
Etherdrifter chuckles
Etherdrifter says “Thus is the end of one who denied our power. We could cure you, but we will not. Unless...”
Etherdrifter says “Yes..”
Etherdrifter says “It is just you do us a service...”
Etherdrifter says “The Shartak Stone.”
Etherdrifter says “A crystal said to possess the spirit of an ancestor...”
Etherdrifter says “It's touch will heal you, should we compel the spirit...”
Etherdrifter says “It lies at the heart of the caverns...”
Etherdrifter says “Bring it to me and I will remove your curse...”
You say “I usually don't trust you Etherdrifter, but I fear I have no other choice. I will go find this stone, and bring it back here.”
You say “Hopefully, before my time runs out.”

Mencken  uses a healing herb on you and restores 9 health.
You hear Mencken whisper “Happy to heal such a famous native, especially in this wild part of the country. where are you going? I'm shipwreck-bound, myself.”
You say “I need to stop the voices...they are getting stronger...caling for blood....I refust to give in. I must traverse the caves, and search for a special stone.”
You say “That Necromancer is probably messing with me...I don't trust him a bit...but I must....I have no other avenue now.”
Neil Tathers looks at the nearby Rhino...."BLOOD!"
You attack the rhino with a machete for 3 damage. It dies. You gain 28 XP.
Neil Tathers stalks away, rhino blood dripping from his machete, "I must reach it....soon."

[Neil Tathers]

The wanderings in the caves have gone in strange directions.

Neil is currently following light which has led him to an underground pool....

[AlexanderRM]

Neil Tathers appears from the trees, "Here's been here hasn't he....YOU KNOW!"
Neil Tathers waves one of his machetes around threatenly, "WHERE IS HE!"
Neil Tathers eyes darts around, looking at some sudden moves, "I SEE YOU!"
Neil Tathers darts through the trees, moving on.

Ah. I recall that. I'm afraid you left before I could answer. (I think this was Trailblazer?)

No, it was AlexanderRM, I did run into Trailblazer as well though, in the same AP Cycle.

[Neil Tathers]

He spies the town, off the shore, it's inhabitants unknowing that Neil is no longer Neil, merely a shell for some ancient ghost.  But he is still in some control of his body, "These freaks deserve death, they foil the island with their knowledge."

[Josiah Winthrop]

So, "freaks" had me thinking York, but then I got to "knowledge" so now I'm thinking Derby.

[error]

So, "freaks" had me thinking York, but then I got to "knowledge" so now I'm thinking Derby.

I thought York as well, partly because I'm assuming the caverns are in the mountain and York is the closest outsider settlement... but I could be wrong. If it is Derby, I'm worried because my character was just killed in York and decided maybe Derby would be a little safer.

Also As far as my character has heard, Neil Tathers isn't known for killing. So if he happens to run into him, Benjamin would probably be like, "Oh, Neil Tathers, I've heard so many good things about you." And than Neil would probably stab my character repeatably and Ben would just be on the ground dead wondering what just happened.

[Neil Tathers]

Knowledge must mean Derby, LOVE IT!

[Josiah Winthrop]

Knowledge must mean Derby

We were discussing adopting it as the slogan for our state license plates, it was Pershing's idea, I wanted to go for "the Snazcrome state" but nobody understood what that meant.

Neil is going through a rough patch right now.  Some people might think it's a possesion from an evil island spirit, others might say it's a mid-life crisis, or he may just need some womanly love in his life.

He's just a little upset because his chances of pulling off "Mr Derby 2010" are looking grimmer with age, considering that his mid-life crisis started sometime during the Eisenhower administration.

Your intentions toward others are no longer peaceful.
You fire at Hodrali with a blowpipe for 4 damage. The poison acts quickly, taking another 2HP almost immediately. They drop to 94 HP.
You fire at Hodrali with a blowpipe for 4 damage. The poison acts quickly, taking another 2HP almost immediately. They die. You gain 53 XP.
Neil Tathers grins, blood dripping from the ends of his kukri, "Cannibals, they deserve this, THEY DESERVE IT!"
