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

[Anole]: Ay. Let's go find stuff.

[Sharp]: *startled a bit by what turns out to just be a toad.*
"Oh. "
*s a bit weakly.*
"Eh-heh..."
*Puts his hood up*

[Sharp]: (curiously): "A toad? There must've been a swamp nearby...or some kinda a bog,-y'think?"

[Anole] shakes head sadly*
It's a toad. And you didn't need flamings, all you needed was a ball of glowing concentraited magic.

[Sharp]: "Did that statue..."

*looks over his shoulder real quick, then back to ahead of himself (just to double check)*

"I felt a,-almost a bit of a breeze there when I was walking by it..."

[Sharp]: "Oh. ....But on the bright side"
**
"...The flames do make a bit of a nice-temporary al defense."

[Anole]: Do you need something destroyed?

[Sharp]: "Whaddyou make of that statue..."
*indicates the one ceremonially-holding what looks like a rather short-handled & large bladed, two-sided Axe.* It looks as though it were standing @ attention. Staring out somewhere,-into the fog...(meant to be looking over @ who knows what).

[Anole]: Something I wounld not want to attack me. *looks around* Since this is a graveyard, just smash it with a rock.

[Sharp]: "Well, not so much sure, if we should destroy it..."
*indicating the statue*
It looks to be set so as to be facing away from them... looking off into the dank fog.
"the expression on it's face...It sure is 'ugly'"
Sort of a carved out-somewhat fanged smirk (w/hollow eyes).

[Sharp]: ","
*upends the statue, by tipping it over through leaning on it.*
The statue falls on its side, the head breaking off & rolling off a ways...where it is lost in the fog
*Owch...*
Sharp had tripped over the statue's head.

[Anole]: Perhaps, you should burn away the fog from around us.

[Sharp]: "What an ugly-totemic critter... (if that was what it was s'pposed to represent)."
*goes 'Ow!'*
"Stubbed my toe on the ed thing."

[Sharp]: "I dunno, if that's possible...but , I'll try"
*gathers some energy into his hand*
"I'll concentrate this 'flame'-into a fireball."
*casts 'flame'*
The fog in the air around them thins a bit...but there is still somewhat of a thick, crawling fog moving about lazily across the ground.

[Sharp]: "Well, @ least that's about 1/2 way better..."

*Shakes head sadly again.*
[Anole]: We really should get going.

[Sharp]: "What're we s'pposed to be looking for...exactly?"
*finds a small blue-gem*
"How's this?"
*shows Anole the little jewel*
"It must have broken off of the statue...I don't think that it's curs-ed. Just another bit of the ugly decoration, that the must've had in mind..."

[Anole] puts the gem in an enchanted pouch* That should edge off most of any curse.

[Sharp]: *Looks over @ where the statue was...*
"y'know what...There's a bit of a hole that was underneath it..."
*Pulls out what looks like a tattered old map...w/an 'X' on it @ one end...*
*Shows Anole*
"It says 'Ye be here...' with a little arrow on it right here."
*indicates*

[Sharp]: "Well, he wasn't much of an , but it seems like he must've been a pretty decent map-maker, eh?"
