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

*A breeze stirs...*

*retrieves his Mace from the multi-verse*

*Along the darkened alleys behind the fighters, a grey mist begins to pour...*

Crap!

*Summons some magic throwing skeleton mages and makes a quite and magicless retreat*

*Mashadar begins to creep into the road the fighters occupy, and bears down on the skeletons and on Time Traveler.*

*The skeletons throw lots of freezing and lighting energy*

*The energy crackles through Mashadar with no effect, as it floats over them. With uncanny speed, the tendrels of fog wrap around and snake down the throats of the skeletons, pouring out of every orifice, which scream and crumble to the ground.*

*slinks farther away, without using magic*

Realises the Mashdar is near but it hasn't noticed him... quietly now... quietly...




*gets a good distance from evil fog"



*throws a plain playing card at hds's ear*

*senses the playing card nearing and drops down into a roll, which takes him farther from the Mashadar, and closer to TT. Raises his wrist and fires the scorpion on it (its a little razor sharp grabby thing that either cuts or grabs whatever it touches)*

At this point, mashadar is behind you both, and following. You're going to have to move fast, or it /will/ catch up.

*Checks his robes, finds his rocket pack and activates it. HDS flies to the top of a decaying sky scraper*

No magic here you fog

It won't be drawn as fast, but it still follows the living.

a little late to tell us that

Not at all. Ask Goose about it, or anyone else who's read the WoT series. The point of Mashadar is to keep you on the edge... no lollygagging.

I'll ask goose when he comes back. But it is a little iritating to hear about the mashadar's life seeking ability after the fact

Just remember, it's not all that fast. You can run from it, but you won't have the luxery of standing around in one area for all too long.

uh huh. In the books was there any way to stop it? I wouldn't employ it, but is there? I can think of one way, but it would actually but it would be treading in TT's area of expertise.

Myst, have you ever seen Evangelion?

Not currently, no. The closest way to do it blew the entire city off the map, which I'm not going to allow. That would work, as it kills off every source of the city's curse. But then what would the point be? And yeah, I've seen Evangelion.

ok, and ok.
