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

[Eric]and wheres Ribald got to?

[Furr]

Forr me it iss enough to know the Legiowns arre contrary to the Good of the Universe. They must be overthrown, or we must strike a balance. They must not prevail...

:: Darts a glance over his shoulder in the general direction of Galyana ::

We must begin our jeouwrney in earnest. Time is not on our side...

:: Begins to move restlessly about, ears flattened, tail twitching ::

Shall we find a path to the Meountains now? Ai preferr not the waterr...

[/Furr]

I've been away from the H2G2 all day. So sue me.


[Ribald and Lampwick are also there.]

[Ribald] Well then let's get ready for some FUN! [draws his sword]

do you think we should head for the mountains or look over the mill for a boat?

[Furr]

Boats! Urrrgh!

Ai favor taking the shelterr of the trees...

[/Furr]

[eric]Ma Choa said something about going to Correlia

[Furr]

Correlia iss near at hand; not farr to travel. Let us put distance between eourselves and the Black Legiown at Galyana. There iss nothing else we can dew for the people there at present.

[/Furr]

[Corrigible] So, why are we heading to Correlia again?

I meant Ribald, not Corrigible.

[Furr]

:: Sniffs briefly, then concludes ::

It sseems eour friend Rribald has consumed a great quantity of alcohol recently. Purrhaps his faculties arre not as accute as they should be. Ai believe Masster Ma Chao has voiced his opinion to travel there forthwith to hasten the completion of eour Quesst.

:: Turns to Ma Chao for confirmation, cocking his head to one side as if asking the full reasoning behind the suggestion ::

[/Furr]

[Ma Chao] It seems I'm not going to get my way at all today... Okay, we take the Mountains, but I'm getting a bath first!

Please assume the warband has freshened up after the sewer, and we are now heading for the mountains. We won't be there for a while yet, so there's plenty of time to add more trouble in the way...

~halls pack onto back~
[Eric] Through the forest it is then

[Furr]

:: Bounds along on all fours, slipping through the foliage practically without disturbing it, occasionally leaping into a tall tree to scout the terrain ::

:: Returning to the party, dashing up with excitement plainly visible by the way his tail is whipping about ::

Arre we expecting a squad of Orcss to be camped eout just off the trrail ahead of uss? Hrrrrrrmm?

[/Furr]

[Lampwick] [carrying all the stuff again] We are now.

[Ma Chao] Too far from those Orcs! Come on, let's take them out...

[Furr]

My kind off adventurre. Ai will flank them...

:: Grins wider than humanly possible, displaying razor-sharp teeth, then disappears into the underbrush ::

[/Furr]

[Ma Chao] I'll take the treetops. You don't mind, do you?
*Leaps into the air, and is lost from sight.*

[Ribald] LET'S GET RRRREADY TO RRRRUMBLE! [charges forward, sword raised]

[Lampwick] Hoo boy. Say, can somebody initial my time sheet while everyone still has working fingers?

*The Orc camp looks quiet. In Orc terms, it means they aren't killing each other. A large, burly Orc steps out of the "Loot Tent" and yawns. It was one of the most unpleasant yawns of his life.*
[Ma Chao] Die Orc scum!!
*Ma Chao rams his spear down the Orc's throat. It blinks once, then dies as Ma Chao rips his spear out of it's body. He saltos over two Orcs who try to stop him, but they weren't ready for him, and both are cut down.*
[Ma Chao] Haha! Bring it ON!

[Furr]

:: From out of the top of a large tree, a silver spinning disc whizzes into the crowd of Orcs. It slices through the neck of one, decapitating it, then passes on and slams into the kneecap of another, severing the leg. An eerie howl rises from the treetops and, suddenly, Furr Purrfikt plunges down into the group of Orcs, claws extended, fangs flashing, and pummels a third Orc to the ground.
There are momentary sounds of rending flesh and a muffled groan, then Furr comes up to a crouching stance, surveying where the next victim stands. ::

Grrreat time…! Ai seem to have a kindred sspirit in Ma Chao: we both love to take the hiowgh road.

[/Furr]
