Zanea's Tales 3.

[DragonMasterX]

OOC: Could've sent me a PM, John, or use the ZT Chat to announce this. I'll send ya a PM with the specifics after I'm done processing this.

@Everyone else: Crimson asked me to speed things along, so we'll skip the next few turns assuming everyone passed to have the NPCs reach the goal.

Neutral Phase.

Dally and Iris have finished hacking the consoles!

------------------------

"Sister, sister!" Iris cried in joy as she skipped from the console and rushed into the confined space with the prisoners.

"Th-thank you, everyone!" Dally stuttered, tears streaming down her cheeks, "We'll be forever indebted to you!" she grinned, wiping her tears away before rushing off inside the building.

Carrying spare medical supplies, the sisters quickly began tending to the almost unconscious trio of researchers, too busy to notice what was happening outside.

-----------------------

Skipping on top of the building's roof, a cloaked figure observed the Party below, then bellowed: "I congratulate you. You've braved the Marsh, one of mankind's several sinful wonders," it spat with scornful sarcasm. "You've been giving me no end of trouble with your interference... I never thought you'd live to come to Zeilas, but let this be your last warning... By turning down Lord Mobius's offer of joining him, you've set the gears of your fate in motion. The world is set for change, and if you resist it... you will be swept by its rising tides," it explained. "Return to Sin Town, there is nothing else you can accomplish, other than risking your lives to fight something you don't understand."

> [Nati and the others are rescued. We'll turn back.]
> [Mobius?]
> [What don't we understand?]

[Crimson Fox]

> [Mobius?]

"Heh, you must be mistaken. You've never offered us any sort of deal to join this "Lord Mobius"." Ada prepared herself, not sure if this messenger would try to strike, her magical staff raised. "Who is this Mobius?"

[DragonMasterX]

"You met him back in Cinn," the cloaked figure retorted, "At that time, He had just discovered a concoction capable of altering the mortal coil's direction. To defy death... That was one of his many miracles, and you did not appreciate it when he asked for your cooperation. An unforgivable act of arrogance, yet He is not without mercy as he spared your lives, and then seeked out better specimens for his next miracle. Lord Mobius is the new world's ruler, the one who will purify the land and create a new order," the creature lifted a green scaled claw from its robes, curling it up as if demonstrating.

"You also have a place in His new world, but if you continue to oppose His will, I am afraid that I will not be able to guarantee your safety. Please do not make me take the painful decision of obliterating your existence.."

> [Nati and the others are rescued. We'll turn back.]
> [Mobius?] X
-> [Have we met...?]
> [What don't we understand?]

[Crimson Fox]

-> [Have we met...?]

So he's like those other two. Is this Mobius guy trying to turn everyone into dragons? Ada kept her weapon ready, while trying to recall anyone trying to solicit the guild to join their religion. It was then she remembered the tales from her older companions Vook and Shadow. "Right, the others mentioned someone bringing a dragon back from the dead. That was Mobius, eh?" She cringed, finding the undead a revolting farce of life. "And what about you, who are you?"

[DragonMasterX]

"This is the first time you have all seen me in this form, but I'm afraid that revealing my identity now would only be cause for grief and insubordination," he spoke, turning his back around, "You have been warned. We've collected all the successfully convertees, we did not have time to 'convince' the others of our ways. Tend to them and leave. I'm willing to look aside and see you return from whence you came."

> [Nati and the others are rescued. We'll turn back.]
> [Mobius?] X
-> [Have we met...?] X
> [What don't we understand?]

[Crimson Fox]

> [What don't we understand?]

"Grief and insubordination? A new form? Why would you say that unless..." Ada's eyes went wide and she shot a nasty look at the mystery man. "I suppose I can't understand, if you're who I think you are." Ada prepared to fire a Firaga spell at the dragon man, "What tempted you, what don't we understand?"

[DragonMasterX]

It ignored Ada's assumptions, plain and simple. The creature only briefly glanced back to say: "The current world is shifting. As I said, Lord Mobius will be the creator and we all have a place in his world of the strong. It is better not to oppose what ones does not understand; you've already proven yourselves worthy, but intruding into His plans any further will only bring about your own demise. Think carefully about what we've discussed. Don't make a choice you'll soon regret."

With that, the messenger disappeared by jumping high up and away much like the warrior from earlier.

Soon enough, Iris came out running, a smile in her face, tears streaming down her cheeks. "Guys, g-guys!" she stuttered, bouncing her way next to the Party, "We got here in time, they're alive and well! They are...!" she announced.

OOC: Once again, a job well done, peoples. You really showed that pompous dragon <:3

Anyhow, I'll be taking a break from here on, for until my inspiration returns to me and I can guarantee I won't make any of you wait any more than the necessary. I don't wanna make you guys play a game with a half-assed GM after all. :P

Go ahead and customize.
