h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Eek! Greebo you've made Bob grow a Volrath on his (manly) chest!

Sorry Greebs! I don't think that's a doughnut delivery person up there.

*Calls up into the darkness*

Just jump Sho! We'll catch you!

Volrath, could you go and lie down, just about here, please?

*Guides Volrath to an area of the floor which appears to have an impact area and quickly moves away*

*mutters something about having broken his stick*

I hope that's not the stick you put your soggy you-know-whats on, Menza!

Still, at least you had a nice soft landing (on me)!

Thanks for that, it did save a few busted ribs.

Anyway, the stick doesn't matter too much. I brought a spare cricket bat.

Don't you mean cricket box?

I wonder if Bob's ribs are better?
*Gives Bob a prod in the ribs*

*gets pain killers out of the medical kit*

He might need these now.

~Greebo stops washing her paws in the spring that just developed for this occasion...~

Hey Volrath... stop playing cards...

~Greebo taps 6 mana and lets loose the Demon of Corithia... who gobbles up all playing cards before disapearing in a cloud of unsmoke~

Gwennie... leave Bob alone... thats got to set before we can hit him... ~grin~... and are you sure thats not the doughnut delivery person... they are awful quiet up there???

~Greebo looks at Menza's stick and smirks...~ Er... not an awful big stick is it... ~Gives Menza some celotape..~ Here you go... that should mend it...

Ah. So they're for you. But I've also got some milk, twiglets and ....... but you'll see. Ok then, look out below, I'm using my umbrella so I don't fall too heavily....

*jumps*

What Do You Think's In There?


{If you don't know, in Magic creatures have 2 stats: Power and Toughness. Power is how lethal they are, toughness is how much damage they can take. Average is 2/2, but there are many others. Volrath is a 6/4 which can pump, and I think... Greebs would be a 4/5, first strike, which can tap to heal 3 damage; Bob is a 6/6 trample which can't block; Gwennie is a 4/4 which can kill any one creature- not a player, like us, mind- Menza is a 0/1, and Sho is a 4/5 flyer.

Aww, Volrath! Do I have to kill things? Can't I be something else that doesn't have to kill things?

*Cranes her neck to watch Sho gliding down, umbrella in one hand and a huge basket of doughnuts and twiglets in the other*

Grub up Greebo!

We should be under way quite soon then, it won't take Greebs long to finish that lot off.

~Greebo jumps up and snaffles the basket before Sho lands... she quite nicely shares the contents of the basket... doughnuts for her... twiglets for everyone else... grin~

Ok... adventurers... this tunnel goes to the left or to the right... lets vote on which way to go...

~Left is total darkness and right is total darkness too... ~

Hmmm.. maybe we need some kinda light...

*still a little paiul from having volrath grow out of his chest whispers*
thats easy
*draws his sword adn concentreats for a minet. the end of the sword starts to glow red and then the rest of the blade as well. the light getts brighter untill eventually the sword bursts in to flame and lights up the tunnel*
only way to bestow gods vengance is with flaming swords

Toast anyone?

This is your idea of a party?! You're all weird. I'm just going to stay up here with a nice long drink and a party pack of crisps and listen to what you're doing down there.

* settles back comfortably and takes a good long drink*

~Greebo starts to panic...~

Fire!!! Fire!!!... ~She grabs the bucket... (handy that)... and runs to the stream.. (gosh... this is indeed very handy)... fills the bucket and rushes over to Bob... she throws the contents of the bucket over Bob... extinguishing the sword and drenching Bob...~

Phew... that was close... ~grin~... Now... hmmm... what ARE we going to use to light our way...

~Greebo glances up the tunnel...~ Hey... why not join us... we are having lots of fun down here.... ~big grin~

Light? Hang on, I was using a Swiss Army (TM) umbrella, there's a light on here somewhere....

*fumbles around a bit*

nope, that's for clipping nose hair

*fumbles some more*

Ah here it is, in the tip. It goes out now and again, so I hope nobody's afraid of the dark. Hi Gwennie, whew, you're looking menacing today!! Which way are we going then?

*gives the cat a verry dirty look*
now greebo you realise that when I have theflaming sword I have it under controle ok.
* relights the sword mutering about how it did not go out last time he went under water so what the hell is in the water round here*

~Glares at Bob...~ You had better clean that dirty look up Mister...

*Adopts her most menacing attitude and grins stupidly through a mouthful of Twiglets*

Hi Sho! I'd watch out for Greebo's titanium tipped claws there, Bob!

*Wonders if she can toast her Twiglets on Bob's sword and decides to destract Greebo*

I vote we go down the left tunnel! You can go first, Sho as it's your light and if it goes out, then you can be the first to fall down a very big hole which might happen to be there at the time....
