Arianne should know that there are two time portals in the bar: One by the door (created by LifeKnight), and one in the bedroom hallway (created by the bum hired by Thuderforge). LifeKnight walks in through the second (unaffected) time portal in the hall, walks up to the bar, and orders boiled Semenon Master meat.

EDIT: Ooo! I'm at the top of the 23rd page! Time for a sig update.

LifeKnight obviously missed the part about ‘entering the bar by any other way’.

Waiting for Sidatius the Demon to serve his boiled Semenon Master, LifeKnight sees that Arianne is chatting with Kryten unconcernedly, apparently not having noticed his entrance. For some reason, this only serves to unnerve LifeKnight.

The first sense he has that something is not right is the tingling that builds up in his gut. Sudden pain rips through him like lightning, leaving him doubled over and gasping for breath. His vision blurs, and fades, and steadies on another level. LifeKnight looks for the one who must be behind this attack, and blinks. Lines crisscross his sight, lines of energy, swirling, growing.

The second sense he has that something is not right begins when he looks at these lines of energy, and realise two things. They emanate from the main portal, and they are malicious. A dark spider’s web, stretching out, seeking and drawing in its prey: him. LifeKnight is caught already; he finds to his horror that he is moving towards the portal, and he cannot escape. His struggles go unnoticed by the rest of the bar customers. No sword or other magical trinket can help him now, no spell nor strength, no wishing.

With the greatest of efforts he turns his head to look at Arianne. Her hood is thrown back for perhaps the first time since she came to this bar, and he sees her clearly. Her hair is dark, her skin pale, her lips tinged red, her features delicate. She is truly beautiful, and so wreathed in the same dark energy that holds him entrapped, that LifeKnight feels the pain of her black gaze as she looks at him.

She smiles, her fangs glistening in a shadow that has nothing to do with lack of light. “ No easy escape, little mortal. ” Her words are for LifeKnight alone to hear.

He has a single thought before his unwilling steps take him to the portal's edge: never mock a vampire. Then he is drawn completely into the portal, into a dimension with neither top nor bottom, nor inside nor out. There is only pain, and he can no longer see the portal through which he came.

(ooc) Please note that to most of the others, nothing out of the ordinary has occurred. All tthey know is that LifeKnight entered, ordered his meal, then left through the main time portal.

SlaVitiCkus tells LifeKnight that he was the one that hired the bum, and slaps him over the head. When his hand goes through LifeKnights illusion, he puts down is Heady Kiola and turns in for the night.

ooc: you..are...scary

ooc#2: I can only imagine what LifeKnight will say to that. Maybe "good thing my clone went in first", or "LifeKnight crawls out of the dimension unharmed", etc etc

(ooc1) I'll take that as a compliment.

(ooc2) Yes, I imagine he will. There are avenues of plausible escape, if he bothers to read my post closely enough.
edit: And a clone/illusion/whatever is not an acceptable escape.

LifeKnight remembers that there was one spell he stole from Ultima that would get him out. It is called help. At the cost of many experience points, this spell will kill its caster and resurrect him/her/it before the ruler of the current country or kingdom the caster was in. If there is no ruler, then they be taken to the place that they entered that dimension (i.e. their bithplace if they have never been to another dimension). So LifeKnight casts it, and reappears in front of the time portal. He is now very :mad: at Arianne.

Rawzer punches LifeKnight in a very suave manner. "No freaking magic! Except me, Sidatious, and in certain cases, like that last one, Arianne. Maybe SlaVitiCkus. I doubt it."

Rawzer talks to KrayzKid, and then has a talk with Sidatious. Sidatious shrugs, and whispers something in Rawzer's ear. Rawzer goes back to KrayzKid. "Sidatious the Drink Mage Demon is sorry, he meant that potion for LifeKnight. Here's a better potion, more along the lines of a healing variety, and I'll give you a free room for now. Sorry about that."

Then Rawzer talks to Arianne. "Uh, no offense, really, but could you put your hood back up? I mean, you were freaky enough before with the glowing fangs which were revealing your dark red lips dripping blood and everything, but now you're just scaring the hell out of me. Everytime I see you out of the corner of my eye, I want to send you to Hades or something. No offense really, I just don't want to accidently get on your bad side, you know?"

Rawzer, 1: I was not really "in" the Blue Mushroom pub at the time. 2: That spell was my only way out. And here, take 5000 gold pieces, and gimme a Apeiron Psyco-muSHroom ale.

Fine, fine. Sorry about the beating. Rawzer pockets the gold, and Sidatious serves the volatile drink.

LifeKnight realizes that he is rather short on gold. So he heads out the Dernath window to go hunting.

I'm no Sherlock Holmes, so I'd love to know how LifeKnight could've gotten out of the dimension of pain without being a bastard. I know I would've been stuck there.

LifeKnight is still not yet back from his hunt yet. He is hunting Semenons (normal, not masters, since they don't exist yet) to resupply the kitchens (boiled Semenon is on the menu). When he gets back, LifeKnight has big plans for this bar (big, but good).

Rawzer suggests that LifeKnight should tell Rawzer about these plans before doing something... stupid.

Ok, forget it. Anyways:
LifeKnight returns from his hunt from the Dernath window with a bag over his shoulder. He is also holding a vial of purplish liquid. He says, "Been hunting Semenons. I pocketed all the goodies and sold the ones I couldn't use, and this bag is full of their meat. Here you go, Rawzer." He places the bag on the table. "Now you start serving Semenons. And here is a little present for Arianne." He sildes the vial over to her. "Semenon blood." LifeKnight now goes into the Apple Store window and downloads the entire history of the Blue Mushroom pub to his iBook, which he magically summons to the pub (Sorry Rawzer, take 1000 gp). He orders and ale, then sits at a table to refresh his memory of the pub's history. After he is done, he sends the iBook back to earth and promises to be a better bar member. "Can I have a clean record, Rawzer?"

If only everyone would read the entire bar before they posted in it, they would know the norm around here, even though everyone brings their own unique feeling to the bar. I know when I came in there was only about 1/5th of what there is now, but it is still a good idea to know what went on.

As for the clean slate, I could drink away my memory of you I suppose, seeing as the blood you brought Arianne might last her a bit, I've been seeing her eyeing my veins...and where is that friggin penguin gone to? Arianne made a mess with that last one

No purchasing of magic use, anyone can just say they have enough for it. And the blue mushroom increaees 5 vit. if I am right, which would cost over 15,000gp in potions, plus there is only 1 in existance

Oh, and change the Dackery price, 8 is such an inconvinient number to dish out constantly

Rawzer: That would be telling. I'll save that in case I need it again.

Arianne regards the vial with suspicion for a moment before cautiously taking a sip. Raising a brow, she accepts the peace offering and drains the entire contents.
