Role-Play- A Step Forward

[Jack Teach]

Jack nods

Alright

[Meliva]

Emily nods as she starts heading due north. After a while she spots a sign that confirms her suspicions. She reads it out loud.

Salipsa's Tower ahead, if you don't know if your welcome here, then your not-turn or die. I happen to know Salipsa-she is not a very friendly person, but she is a VERY strong witch doctor, and I know for a fact that if this is really her tower it is going to be a giant death trap.

Emily starts moving much slower and stealthily north, as she spots the tower she notices about 2 dozen statues in front of it blocking the entrance. She turns to the others.

Well front door is blocked by a bunch of golems. Lets see if the back is secured.

She quickly circles around to the back, and see's it unguarded. She goes to the door and notices a rune in front of it. She thinks for a moment, and notices a nearby flock of sheep. She goes, grabs one and leads it on the rune. It ends up getting blasted to pieces, and the rune still glows.

Well. I have no idea how to disable this rune. We could try to drain the energy out of it, by tossing as many living things as possible onto it, or we could try fighting past the golems. Raven, Jack do either of you have any ideas, or items that may help.

[Jack Teach]

Jack thinks for a moment.

Explosives perhaps? The only thing I can think of is a holy object, a very important one, something I have in my possession...but if that won't work I can't think of anything else.

[D00T]

I say we blow the golems apart, well that may not work, depending on how durable are they

[Meliva]

The ground around everyone begins to shake a little, until about a dozen golems emerge from it. One opens its mouth and a woman's voice comes out

Just head back front with the golems and ill let you idiots in.

The golems begin heading back to the front Emily shrugs and follows She turns to the others and whispers.

Be on guard, but don't do anything rash or touch anything.

[Jack Teach]

Jack walks forward with Emily, his hands gripping his cutlass hilt.

This'll be interesting...

[Meliva]

The group comes to the front and the door slides open. Emily carefully walks in and see's Salipsa sitting on a chair in the center of the room. Golems are on both sides of her and stationed all over the room, along with various books. She looks to the group.

I normally kill people who try to break into my home, but since I do know you and your sister I figured I might as well hear you all out.

Ellen speaks first.

We found a bunch of very strong voodoo items in the English treasury, and we think it came from you.

Salipsa laughs.

Why the hell would I SHARE my voodoo. Especially with the English, whom I DESPISE. I spend my days in my tower studying, and doing my hobbies. I don't send out items or knowledge willy nilly.

Emily nods.

Well demons are not exactly the most reliable sources. Glad I had it killed even more now.

Salipsa nods.

Yes, demons are terrible beings to get directions from. Although, I could help point you in the right direction. And all I ask in return is the voodoo artifacts you left back in that hut.

[Jack Teach]

Jack steps forward and flourishes his hand forward with a slight bow of his head

Of course, just show us the proper direction and we'll give it in good time.

[Meliva]

Emily stares at Jack. Then turns to Salipsa

Now hold on, I don't intend to just give those artifacts up. And Jack seems to be forgetting that I locked them up nice and tight with magic, and only I could get them out. How about this. You give us directions, and I give you HALF those artifacts. Because you sure as hell ain't getting all of them, especially since I know how much you already have, while I have so little.

Salipsa thinks for a bit before responding.

Alright fine. It will take about 12 hours for me to track down the person you want with my voodoo, so you can spend the night here if you want. Just go down the west corridor and enter the 4th room. Do not enter any other room, or you will die, I have tons of voodoo traps and guards all over the place, so if you go wandering around they will activate and you will probably die.

Brian speaks up.

Or we could go and sleep back in town. Where there isn't magical death traps.

Emily shakes her head.

Nah, I would rather just sleep here then go back. Plus those people didn't look welcoming. You other 4 can do whatever though.

Emily heads into the corridor. Ellen follows and Brian does too after a minute. Salipsa looks to Jack and Raven.

You 2 can spend the night here too if you want. Or if you have any requests or questions feel free to ask.

[D00T]

Raven follows Brian into the corridor
