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

While I really, really appreciate your willingness to succumb to these spells, I'm going to wait for GL to react to that.

Good point.

*Gillings' clothes begin to be consumed by the blue flames.*


Guess you didn't notice that, Affy - you have blue flames enveloping you.


*Everyone in the cabin is rooted to their spots. The sword blows above cease as they are found to be ineffectual. The soulstone is straining to escape the cat's mouth, where it is currently clamped.*


Gotta give the good guys SOME chance.

Thanks, GL

*Gillings rolls on the ground, in an attempt to put out the flames*

"Cool me now, turn off the fire,
Which seems hotter than dragon mire,
Heal my burns and set me free,
From this pain appliead to me."

[Special ability: Normal Shield turn off]

[Special ability: Magic Shield turn on]

"Kitty cat, Kitty cat, where have you been?
Eating my favorite Soulstone again?
Kitty cat, Kitty cat, open your maw,
Release the Soulstone from your android jaw."

* The flames flicker, then go out. The cat is compelled to open its mouth and the soulstone flys across the room in a direct line to Gillings. It hits Sarah in the backside and falls to the ground behind her.*

Oh, come on! Almost ten minutes and no replies yet? Giving up?

*Gillings sighs, and walks over to pick up the Soulstone. His eyes fill with relief*

Victory never smelled so good!

I need to go real soon. We may have to call it off again if I don't get some replies pronto.

*glares furiously at Gillings* What are you going to do with my stone, Mr Gillings?

GL, are we completely frozen? Or just stuck on the floor. It'll change how I react somewhat...

You are a fool, Mrs. Briggs. You never realized who I was. Does the name Yclept mean anything to you? No, it wouldn't. Your kind probably doesn't keep records of things like that. But you will remember The Raven, the Black Mages who ruled Atlantis.

Do you know how long I was trapped in the spell your kind left me in? Do you know how long I've been wandering the world, as a disembodied spirit?

But with this, I can return. This, and one more thing.

*Gillings draws a long, sharp dagger*

Your life.


Gotta go for the day, folks. Later.

*eyes widen* You cannot have me, Yclept. The dove will save me... *even knowing that she can't be heard, shouts out* Uli!!! I found the Raven!

Sorry for the delay in answering - I think you are just rooted to the spot, but can otherwise move. In other words, it is a replay of the sticky-floor spell.

Again, I gotta give you some sort of chance

And what a cliff-hanger, Affy!

*moves her hands to shield her head and ducks down*

*The hatches unlock, and the people in the hold are surrounded by a faint white aura of protection.*

Assuming Gilling's spell did NOT work
~ Grabs the cat and floats up to the ceiling in the corner of the hold furthest from Gillings. ~


Assuming Gilling's spell DID work
~ Doesn't do that. ~

Oops, sorry! I got so used to just a post or two every day that I forgot to check for more LEDs. Disregard the previous, and I'll go and read what I missed.

Sticky floor spell? Well, I'm not on the floor, I'm up at the ceiling, banging, and too late to grab the cat with the soulstone.

~ The ghost musters up all his ghostly ability, focuses entirely on the knife, grabs it and pulls it straight upward. ~

*Lizzie cowers, desperately trying to think of something she can do to help.*

*the cat yowls and tries to move*
