Back at The Royal Court

Baraka  staggers into the court, holding his head high and bleeding bad. He leaves a trail of blood behind him as he makes his way to Monaliza. "I'm sorry I'm late! I ran into some tigers on my way back."

Baraka clears his throat! "I hope the meeting haven't begun." He slumps down on his seat next to Monaliza and he sighs deeply. "It's good to be back home!" He leans over to Monaliza and gives her a kiss.


AlexanderRM says “Incidentally, Monaliza, is there in fact a village forum again? I seem to have lost track of it during the nightmare time, or whatever people call it.”
AlexanderRM tosses a handful of rune-marked sticks onto the floor. They land indicating Fire, Earth, Fire and Earth.

AlexanderRM begins dancing around and chanting.

AlexanderRM says “The Fire, the Water, the Earth, the Air, return, return, return, return...”
AlexanderRM says “(hey, that's almost the right order- just need to switch it around.)”

Daigo Smash says “BAM! Take that, AlexanderRM! What was that, four tries? Haha! All right, folks, who's up for some of this 'gambuhleeng' the pirates keep talking about?”


Enemy Spotted! The Queen and King take some time to bond.

monaliza and Baraka depart for a quick spot of "urban renewal".

You say “tell me or die everywhere you go.”
You say “look, honey target practice!”


Baraka dashes out from the jungle growth and swings his club in the back of Keiichi's head...

monaliza moves in quick, agile, fluid motions with her mate.

You say “these are OUR ROYAL LAWNS,"

Baraka smiles and looks at Monaliza. "How do you wanna him? "

Baraka swings his sword and slashes Keiichi across the chest a couple of times.

You say “i want everything except the torso.”

You say “I think I will decorate the parts up on signposts to prevent any more wandering and trespassing.”

Baraka kicks Keiichi to the ground and puts the sword against his throat. "You have upset my queen, you white devil! No one wanders through these lands without out permission..."
Baraka glares at Keiichi! "We hereby sentence you to death for trespassing and loitering on the royal lands!"

Baraka kills Keiichi with a heavy sword.

You say “OFF WITH HIS HEAD!!!”

You collect the head of Keiichi and clean it up before adding the skull to what you're carrying.

Baraka grins as he watches Monaliza take the head of the fallen. "My queen! By blood starts to boil when I see your rage..."
You carve "ROYAL GROUNDS, walk with the Revered Ancestors or end up dead". onto a tree.

Baraka drops his sword and gets closer to her. He grabs her by the waits and pulls her close to him. He gives her a long and deep kiss...

You say “we can not let filth wander and de-seed our fertile lands.”

monaliza returns Baraka's kiss passionately and holds his head to hers, blood smearing as she caresses him.
monaliza leaves, entwined with Baraka.


At the Royal Court

monaliza walks in the door and heads into her changing rooms to removed her battle-soiled linens.

SofaKing says “Are there any apple trees near here?”

AlexanderRM says “Err... oh, Daigo is gone. Ah well; doesn't matter too much.”
AlexanderRM says “"Urban renewal"... that sounds interesting.”

Axel Flames dances around

Auira Red-Hawk sprays Axel Flames with a fire extinguisher. Where she got it, don't ask.

Ahnaom takes one not-so-royal-looking pillow and smashes it onto Axels head, covering him in feathers. They stick with that magical fluid that the Court dancer has just sprayed.

Ahnaom says “There is this ancient word for obsessive coin flipping and such... "Remmaps". You can read it the other way round as well...”

Axel Flames says “I apologize... ”

Axel Flames grins slightly while saying "Got carried away a bit..."

Axel Flames says “I'll go and toss the rune sticks outside - that might suit you better”

Axel Flames returns with washed, non-feathery clothes and clean, pointy hair

monaliza smiles and laughs with joy.

You say “I will move one south and one southeast to see what the Mushroom Cult is upto.”

monaliza stands up, kissing Baraka on the lips before she climbs down to the floor.

You say “anyone is welcome to come with me. Just be aware they believe something more positive about death than most people.”
You say “pack the herbs and sleep with one eye open, or enjoy what they have in store in the spirit in which it is given.”

monaliza smiles again and grabs 2 large, ripe mangos from the buffet table on her way to the door.
monaliza turns around before leaving and says, "I do love a party"!

You say “come, join !”

A Visit to the Mushroom Cult Temple

Ahnaom steps inside and takes a look around the hut "Is this the place where the fungi ritual shall be performed?"
monaliza nods warmly to Ahnaom.
Ahnaom straightens up "The Queen of Raktam has arrived"
You say “good afternoon Seven Teeth. I do hope I am in time.”
monaliza smiles and puts her backpack next to the comfortable chair that was brought over for her from the Throne Room.

You all bailed out after I blooded each of you to get your names, and then brained the dog with a club. Pah.

A hot wind sweeps across Greater Raktam, unnatural and from the north-west. Despite its heat, the population shivers, chilled to the core.

"Armadox," whispers a small child, as she wakes from sleep. "I had a dream of Armadox, and he was laughing in his grave. But... it wasn't a grave. It was a nest." The child's mother shushes and makes a finger sign to ward against evil.

The hunt was finished precisely as planned. I guess your rum belly prevents swift movements, since the arrival was 3 weeks after the official announcement in the Court. Or did you held your map upside down? Not to mention your stupid head fell of the second you touched our puppy. Talk about incompetent pirates...  Now I know why Raktami tales have so many foolish and clumsy outsider characters.

Take your time, we are not in Raktam at the moment. I will post here at our return.

Initial brief report, transmitted by spirit messenger.


I have confirmed the fact that the building that once housed the Skull Throne has been very literally impacted by a meteor.

An image appears in the throne room, showing the remains of the building.



However, the impact appears to have created a tunnel in the former site of the skull throne, evidently having opened up a cavern beneath it. My spirit messenger will pass on impressions of the trip into the tunnel...

Large hole
A large hole with scorched sides, the result of a meteorite impact. The hole continues downwards into darkness.

Tunnel
A cave-in appears to have blocked the tunnel.

The cavern consists of the pool of water, about 100 meters across, with dry cave floor extending another 100 meters on all sides. The above-mentioned tunnel to the north-northwest extends only another 100 meters before reaching the cave-in.

The cavern was oddly populous, I counted 12 people in total in the area, mostly standing in the pool with some in front of the cave-in. No giant spiders or rats were seen, however.



Unfortunately, after the trip to Wiksik I was unable to do much careful examination. I hope to compile a more complete report at some later time, but this currently seems unlikely.

AlexanderRM, thank you for that report. I will have to make the journey soon to see this aftermath personally.



In the Royal Court

Nick McDigger says “What a fine lookin' array of cannibals and savages. Which one of you is the leader? Ya bloody mongrels.” with a slight accent.

Nick McDigger attacks you with a wooden club for 3 damage. You die.

Nick McDigger says “Serves you savages right. Listen here, Shartak is now the province of the mainlanders. You bloody abbos are going to have to move away. ” with a slight accent.
Nick McDigger says “You'll be civilized, speak our languages, and pay taxes to the king!” with a slight accent.

You stand up and gather all your equipment together.

Somewhere outside the Royal Court

You say “get the frak out of MY Kingdom. You are not welcome here at all.”

You fire at Nick McDigger with a blowpipe for 4 damage. They die.

You say “go away and do not return.”

monaliza walks off into the wild jungle.

It has been left out that now, a hot tub party (hosted by a Flex Mentallo) has begun.  It seems to be a nice, peaceful place and I recognize faces from both sides of the conflict.  There are a few, so far only KoW who cannot release their grudges and would seek to disrupt the festivities with their murders of those they claim are enemies.

Did I just read back that The Gobbler attacked our Queen? For his sake I hope not...he has already caused the death of a friend (that has been avenged  lolz ) on Raktami soil. I'd hate to have MORE reason to cause his demise...again.

On a bit of much-delayed further investigation, I did not find much further that my original report was lacking. The rim of the cave around the pool seem to have no essential differences around it. A small amount of searching in the cave proved fruitless.
I thought to perhaps test the water of the pool, but was regrettably without an empty bottle or gourd to gather it in.

The people gathered in the pool seem to be mostly members of a clan known as the "kingdom of the beach" (rather strangely). The leader of this clan purports to have caused the meteorite impact himself for the purpose of creating a "hot tub". Also, the outer edge of the cave has been covered with signposts identifying it as "the hot tub of the beach".



In related news, the Kingdom of Wiksik appears to have relocated to a hut a short distance away, which they have made the new throne room and the outside of which has been painted with a rather odd mural, which appears to be of snakes and an apple...

I must correct you on one thing:  Flex Mentallo, the King of the Beach himself, does not claim the meteor as his doing.  Only claims the hot tub as his throne (or at least it would seem his throne).  Etherdrifter, leader of Wiksik's Necromancers Guild claims the meteor as his doing.

Flex Mentallo
You say “And so I took the Skull Throne, and declared that the era of the Kingdom of the Beach was at hand!”
You say “The gods saw this, and were astounded! "What musculature," they murmured! "What deltoids," they declared! "What bountiful flexings this Flex Mentallo performs in our honor!""”
You say “They saw me and yea, they threw down the very heavens!”

You say “And so the gods themselves granted me through the Powers of Muscle Mystery to explode the Skull Throne with a meteor from the heavens and gift Wiksik with this splendid bubbling pool instead.”

Ahnaom
A matter of interpretation, I would say.
