[OOM] Izabora - Total Immersion Virtual Reality Program: Age of Ooze. Above Stromgard.

[stuck_mynock]

By the time the airship (a literal, flying ship, it seems, built from wood with thick, billowing sails and a skull flag, like a stereotypical pirate ship) has reached Stromgard, the city is barely recognisable.

The buildings, now shaded in bright shades of pink, green, and blue, are twisted out of shape, bent at angles that should make them fall over. Streams of green code float up from some of the buildings, towards an object in the sky that wasn't there before.

Hanging in the blank, starless black is another city, all walkways and stone buildings, surrounding a tower in rings.

"That looks like our target," Atton says from the bow of the airship.

"Keep it up until those seconds are up. If we need it again, we'll tell you and you can take another potion."

[will_scarlett]

"Aye, but 'opefully can keep 'em distracted 'nough."

"'We kindle and char, inflame and ignite, Drink up, me 'earties, yo ho.
We burn up the city, we're really a fright, Drink up, me 'earties, yo ho.' Twenty seconds."

Something hits and he flinches.

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

Atton waits.

[will_scarlett]

As does Will, though he's a bit worried about how they might land.

[guppy_sandhu]

Guppy's shield flickers in time with his eyes, and then fades out.

"Shield's down." he says, dropping down onto his knees as he recovers.

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

Atton starts firing off bolts of lightning at nearby monsters, batting one away as it swoops towards him, before frying it as it flees.

[will_scarlett]

The flying monsters are what's really worrying Will and as they swoop in, he tries to cut off their wings but ends up getting clawed for his trouble.

[guppy_sandhu]

Guppy gets up and moves over to where Will is, beginning to ninja kick anything that gets close enough. He casts a healing spell at Will as soon as his Mana is high enough.

[will_scarlett]

The healing spell helps since the monsters just keep cutting but Will has figured out just how to slash to take their heads off.

[guppy_sandhu]

Guppy runs towards the mast, leaps, twists, grabs it sideways and swings around it, hitting two monsters and knocking them flying.

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"Oh, nice," Atton remarks, sending a wave of fire outwards that takes out several monsters.

[will_scarlett]

"Aye."

With a quick look, Will hops up onto the edge of the deck to better take on the monsters.

[guppy_sandhu]

Guppy grins at the praise, but doesn't stop. He continues using the beams and masts as points of leverage to swing on and gather momentum.

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"We're close now," Atton says, looking ahead at the floating city.

[will_scarlett]

All Will can do is just nod since there seems to be more monsters the closer they get to the city.

[guppy_sandhu]

Guppy takes down two more monsters with his nunchucks, before getting hit heavily in the back of the head by a third.

He stops, looking briefly stunned, but not being in possession of a real skull, quickly recovers and continues, albeit with the loss of hit points.

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

The ship starts gliding down to a spot where it can land. As the monsters follow, they slow, before eventually turning tail and heading away again.

[will_scarlett]

As the monsters clear off, Will drops down to the deck, that was a tough fight.

[guppy_sandhu]

Guppy casts Heal over the three of them.

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"Guess they can't get too near the city," Atton says, mildly.

[will_scarlett]

"Glad o'that."

[guppy_sandhu]

"Should we go back inside for the landing?"

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"Nah," Atton says, as the ship hits the city with a bump, before slowing to a stop. "Is all good."

[will_scarlett]

"Oh aye, looks like we're 'ere anyway."
