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

[Ecg Unagi]: *clears his throat*
"Who said I wasn't calm..."
~It isn't the battle or the orcs that I am nervous about,- it is the vague threat of expulsion from society (here).~

"Something that always looms over my head, no matter where I go or decide to live, ? So is it okay for me to head off to Kalsho yet?"

"In fact, I think I'll try something new I've been meaning to work on, anyway..."
*Using ground magic, Ecg creates two gollums out of tar, pitch, peat and mud.*
"There. Now, if you'll excuse me..."

*returns some moments later with some sticks and a few short branches off an old snagged tree. Sticks them into each of the gollums at various points*

"Now, since my fire magic isn't (excuse me for the play on words here) up to snuff... I thought why not try something-"

*the gollums take up the branches and twigs into their body composition. Each is holding a stick that is also attached to its hand.*

"Like living torches, yes? When it comes time, I just have to ignite the branches and," *snaps fingers (to illustrate point)* "flaming-golems."

*He has the gollums look at him then towards the horizon and nod.*

"I don't know, Ecg. That is a very dangerous gamble. What if it doesn't work?" Jake, aka Kylen, asks, sheathing his weaponry. "I say a good old Dragon Fire spell or Fire Missile will do. Of course, those are my personal favorite Fire Spells. It helps that I own a Blazing Malchalite gladius. The thing is made out of a type of rock that is very hot, and has torch like ablities. It's an heirloom from my dad...before he died. I was trained in hand-and-a-half blades and offhand weapons, but I do perfer elements at times."

[Ecg]: "But, they are flammable enough, aren't they?"
~Besides, it can't hurt to have some extra help, could it?~

"the wooden parts, yes, but the mud isn't!" Jake says, pointing out the one major flaw in the design.

"Well, yes... granted that the mud isn't (),- which is exactly why I have used mud made up of a mixture [of] peat, tar and pitch added-in."
~The gollums might stink a bit while burning though... Oops.~

"And there is the other flaw. IT STINKS LIKE HIGH HELL!!!"

"And, besides that,- I still don't know any "fancy" spells yet..."
~s Lady Shaylar assigned were for "basics."~

*Ecg has the two "stink-gollums disintegrate back into their component parts.*
"This is the part where I sit down to sulk and you nod, isn't it?"
~D@*n... and here I thought I was -onto something-...~

"Oh. Makes sense. I only know the mid ones like Firestorm, and Big Wave. I need to ask her later what it takes to become the next level."

[Ecg Unagi]: "Do you think there is anything I could do to convince teach I might be "worth" showing how to do things?"
*broods a bit*

*sulk-sulk.*
*covers nose while he conjures up some water to rinse away the bog muck...*
"I think I ought to call those stink golems, ...you were right."

"I could teach you. That is what she asked me to do, you know."

*was pretty impressed*

[Ecg]: "Wait. I remember her telling Halimar, it was possible to make them out of other things... and of other shapes besides a "person" so how about?"
*tries to make a fire-centipede, which is too small and fizzles out*

*tries it again*

*Tries it more/harder*
"A(y)aaah."
}Poof!{
This time the centipede is larger, it makes a charred and crackling sort of noise... instead of a flesh-and-bones sort of growl (with each section turning in revolutions.
"Kylen-Jake, Is that okay?"
*Has it dissipate.*

[Ecg]: "Oh."
*shrugs*
"Kylen, how does thee get the element creatures,- to hold (materially in place), longer?"

[Ecg]: *Wonders if he will ever get acknowledgeably "skilled" at anything.*
*Hrmm... Fwrr (and other "sullen thought noises").*

[Ecg]: *Hasn't the strangest idea as to why,- but he goes up and offers Elwyn's salamander part to a piece of *

*salamander shies away and draws back, looks at the morsel strangely with its head cocked to one side, clamours down to its mistress's hand, considers, sniffs a bit at the wafting scent and extends its neck while wrapping the tail tightly about Elwyn's finger*

Owch! *Elwyn is startled out of her (deep? ) thoughts*
