#144 Sacrifice Redux

#144 Sacrifice Redux

Sasha [[leaning over Shane's corpse]]: Shane... I never meant for you to end up like this. I thought you understood. I'm sorry. I think I can fix it, though. We can still be together.

Sasha: I can still seal the tomb. Findlay may have the ring, but since he is also inside all that's needed it... [[cuts deeply into her own wrist]]

[[Shane's ghost appears and stops her hand.]] Shane: Do you honestly expect that to work?

#143 Oops

#143 Oops

Imp: Oops.

Imp: Isn't it ironic how he lived down here all these years eating rats,

Imp: making his staircase out of Paladin bones... It's very clever, using Paladins, that way the bones won't turn into undead.

Imp: All that time, all those Paladins and the spikes were never set off.

[[Gabriel holds a rope while Findlay climbs down into the pit.]]

Imp: It's funny, if you think about it.
Trent: It's a waste.

Imp: Oh, come one. He was evil. Probably.

[[Trent looks saddened while the Imp looks on nervously.]]

[[The Imp offers Trent an apologetic grin.]]

Trent: I meant, we didn't get any XP.

#142 So, what are you wearing?

#142 So, what are you wearing?

Dwarf in Pit Trap: Sasha has this plan to seal the tomb to keep the undead and the Hecatomb inside, but the first part involved binding her soul to the necromancer ring.Shane assumed that meant she was dead, so when the part of her plan that involved a sacrifice came about, he brought in me and a team of Paladins to hold off the undead while he sacrificed himself. That sealed the rest of us in here, but the Paladins were willing to sacrifice their lives to keep the Hecatomb at bay.

Trent: So where are all those Paladins?

Dwarf in Pit Trap: Well, I got stuck in this pit trap when one of them triggered it. One by one they all fell in, and when they died. I used their bones to make this staircase so I could get out of here. It's almost finished.

Trent: Okay, so... three questions. What's that horrible smell? What the heck are you wearing? And, you're like, evil, right?

Dwarf in Pit Trap: For one and two, my pants are made out of rat skins, and my shirt is made of my own beard hair. For the last one, I prefer "differently good." Mostly I'm a survivor.

Imp [[pressing a button next to the pit trap]]: Hey look! A button! I'm going to press it! <<CLICK>> <<KA-SHING!>>
[[Spikes shoot up from the pit trap impaling and killing the dwarf.]]
Dwarf in Pit Trap: URK!

#141 A Dwarf in Need

#141 A Dwarf in Need

Dwarf in a Pit Trap: Hello there!

Dwarf in a Pit Trap: Would you be here to throw yourself down to your death?

Dwarf in a Pit Trap:So I can use your bonws to finish my staircase and escape?

Trent: Uh... no. I was about to offer to help you out of there but now I suspect you might be evil.

Dwarf in a Pit Trap: None of Shane's Paladins thought like that.

Trent: Whoa! You've been down here since that guy sealed this place?
Dwarf in a Pit Trap: I certainly wouldn't have gotten in after... wait, is the seal broken?

Trent: Sasha wanted us to fix that. We decided it would be easier and more fun to just kill the hecatomb.

Dwarf in a Pit Trap: HA HA HA HA!

Dwarf in a Pit Trap: Wait, you're SERIOUS? Wait. Sasha's ALIVE?

#140 Rock Bottom

#140 Rock Bottom

[[Solen lies on the ground next to the rope, an empty regen potion at his side. Mitzi knees next to him looking concerned. Findlay climbs down the rope, with Gabriel climbing right after him. Nerith uses a snowfall spell to slowly float down - something they all could have taken advantage of it they had let her speak.]]

Mitzi: I told you...
Solen: Why do you think I drank the regen potion?

#139 Don't Miss It

#139 Don't Miss It

Mitzi: This is the obligatory, optional, hundred level dungeon.
Nerith [[appearing in a new skimpy outfit, discarding the other clothing - Solen, from his bug eyes and gaping mouth, seems again to be the only one who noticed her changing her clothes]]: And Trent just jumped to the bottom.

Mitzi: Is he still not used to the Wiimote or something?
Findlay: No, I'm pretty sure he meant to do that.

Findlay [[pointing at Mitzi accusingly]]: You can't just say things like that to him. That's irrersponsible adventuring.

Solen: Is he... dead?
Findlay: I'm going to pretend that our mage, who makes healing potions, did not just admit to not knowing how to check his party members' HP bars.

Findlay: The alternative might involve tears.
Mitzi [[cheerfully]]: And FIRE!

Solen [[fuming]]

Solen: [[yelling]]: There could be LAG!

Findlay; So... looks like we need to follow him.
Nerith: We don't have to follow precisely that way.
Solen: Yeah, no. I'm thinking the rest of us can use a rope.

Mitzi: Don't miss it!

[[Findlay stares at Mitzi]]

Findlay: What, are you supposed to be DRAGON advertising for DUNGEON magazine now?

[[Mitzi stares at Findlay, looks away confused]]

Mitzi: What?

Findlay: They used to...
Mitzi: If you have to explain it, it isn't funny.

#138 Trent go down the hole

#138 Trent go down the hole

[[The party looks on in shock, horror, embarassment, concern and exasperation as Trent cheerfully leaps into the hole Mitzi blew in the floor.]]

#137 Time - is it on your side?

#137 Time - is it on your side?

Solen: We should go rescue Melinda.

Findlay: Whoa! Hold on there!

Findlay: We don't just abandon treasure to chase some tart in trouble.
Solen: But... she's a PRINCESS.
Findlay: What, is that bonus points?
Solen: Kinda, yeah.
Findlay: No gold piece left behind!

Trent: Besides, we sort of hinted we'd save New Town when we finished here.

Findlay: No, we didn't. Not even a little. Besides, sunlight will take care of the undead.

Trent: It would, but you know it won't be morning until we leave here.
[[Findlay realizes that he may be responsible for the destruction of New Town and takes a moment to feel guilty about it.]]

Solen: We should hurry.

Mitzi [[placing a bomb on the floor]]: I learned this trick from an episode of Slayers.

Mitzi: [[sitting before a hold in the floor that exposes about a hundred levels down]]: Hey Trent, look! A shortcut!

#136 What goes out the tower window...

#136 What goes out the tower window...

[[Council of mages prepares a group summoning spell]]

[[Percival and party appear through a warp. They are standing up, as is standard for recipients of a warp, even though they are still dead. Percival is still wearing his batman underoos.]]

Tesse Vardanian [[shielding his eyes]]: How do you explain that?
Delaine: He really likes Batman?
<<Ugh. Unh. Ungh. Ugh. Ugh.>>

[[Percival and his party members collapse into a pile.]]

Mitzi's mom: If that's Percival's party... where's the monk?

[[Mitzi's mom, Tesse Vardanian, and Delaine look up as a shadow falls upon them.]]

[[Kyle lands on the floor, also still dead.]] <<Ugh.>>

#135 You get the internet on that fork?

#135 You get the internet on that fork?

[[Imp is electrocuted by a jolt from his fork.]] <<BZZT>>

[[Findlay stares as the Imp falls to the ground.]] <<THUMP>>

Imp[[speaking into the fork as if it were a cell phone]]: Yes, Walter? I mean, "At your command Lord Evil Guy"...

Imp [[holding the fork aside to whisper to the adventurers]]: L.E.G. wants a status for his biweekly. I have to take this.

Imp [[speaking into the fork again]]: ZERO progress on the S.A.D. Uh-uh, they aren't even trying... QUICKLIME? It's backordered. Yeah... Should be delivered to you by the end of the week.

Imp [[holding the fork aside again to address the adventureres]]: Speaking of quicklike... You guys might want to up the priority on saving Princess whatever-her-name-was.
