OV ,very wet, climes out of the river. Ov turns around to face the river. "Damn frogs!!"

OV continues on untill he sees huge daggers. "Damn" OV says, knowing the goblin cheif is nearby. "Well I guess this is the wrong way, and i'm not crossing that river again... Hmmmm where's the nearest Escape ring. OV adds an escape ring infront of him and reaches over to pick it up. Suddenly OV hears this whoosh. OV grabs his wand but 3 fireballs nail him in the chest. Xichra stands before him while OV writhes on the ground in pain. OV reaches for his wand but xichra hits him again. OV ,in extreme pain, screams. OV tries to reach the escape ring and gets his fingers around it when Xichra nails him again. OV transports just before he falls unconsious for the millionth time......

Corkmaster then steps into the light.Seeing MonsterLady,Corkmaster bows courtiously and says hello while chucking half a dozen fire seeds at a armadillopine (sp), and watching with satisfaction as it blew up with a delightful "blat!". "May I have one of those delightful smelling poppyseed muffins and one of those Kokanee's," says Corkmaster, "It has been a long journey and man, that guy all of a sudden disapearing by the creek didn't help my nerves either!"

------------------
Don't ask me - I'm new here.

MonsterLady welcomes Corkmaster into the cabin.

"My goodness, it is getting a little crowded in here - I'll have to build an addition."

She quickly fills Corkmaster into what the group knows - OV disappeared mysteriously while investigating a body on the path, and Morgan thought she saw someone wandering around in a confused state.

"Where were you?" everyone asks Corkmaster.

Unfortunately, Corkmaster has no idea.

"Well, we should organize a search party." MonsterLady decides. "Everyone who wants to help out, please get some rez necklaces from Thok, and then choose up partners. We can't let anyone else disappear."

------------------
It is better to remain silent and be thought an idiot than to open your mouth and remove all doubt. (I wish I could remember this before posting!)

"I'll go." Corkmaster says.

"But remember, not everyone can go,at least one person should stay behind at the cabin,just in case OV does come back." Corkmaster adds, with a reflective sip of Kokanee. "I would rather stay behind though. I could use a good soak in the Ziridium brine."

------------------
Don't ask me - I'm new here.

Thok carefully pulls out the wad of 5000 rez necklaces. Lag freezes everyone in their tracks. Thok slowly began to speak "Tttttttttttttttoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmaaaaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnnnnnnyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy sssssssssssssssppppppppppppppprrrrrrrrrrrrrrriiiiiiiiiiiiiiittttttttttttttteeeeeeeeeeeeeeesssssssssssssss"

OV finally comes back to consiousness again with a huge pain in his chest and it doesn't take long to figure out where he is this time even with blured vision. "All I wanted was a poppyseed muffin and maybe a drink, but nooooo i'm lost in a laybrtinth now! :rolleyes:" OV decides to go back because he is unpeprared for the laybrinth. "Should I go to the cabin and at least let Monsterlady, Thok, and ferazel know i'm ok?(not knowing the new guys) or go back and get revenge on Xichra...? Hmmmmm. Maybe if I find a hang-glider I can get back quicker....."

Ferazel, only sipping at his wine and occasionally checking his e-mail agrees to stay behind to watch for OV. IRC has become very popular, and Ferazel has filled several requests from other people in the rest area for an iBook and Ircle.

P.S. Go to (url="http://"http://www.ircle.com")http://www.ircle.com(/url) and download ircle, connect to irc.ambrosia.net and join #ferazel!

Quote ViaVoice, "Hal Cohen help build Satam sand scratch a flat surface scratches that some scratch that scratches that scratch facts scratcher wraked this scratched tax costs tax this. " Is this ViaVoiceian?

MonsterLady & Corkmaster decide to go out together to look for OV.

"We'll be back in a couple of days" MonsterLady says as they leave. "If OV shows up, make sure the Ziridium brine is nice and warm so OV can have a good soak."

"Ferazel, I'll leave you in charge of making sure the fire doesn't go out." MonsterLady says to the rest, "Help yourselves to whatever is in the pantry, but please don't touch that chest in the corner. It's locked anyway."

As an added touch, MonsterLady puts out a Guestbook on a table near the entrance.

"If anyone shows up while I'm gone, just have them sign in. They don't have to stick around or anything, but it would be nice to know that they're around."

MonsterLady & Corkmaster bundle up against the rain, and step out into the howling wind.

The room is suddenly silent after they leave.

"Aahh!" OV says as his hangglider gives a lurch. "This things scares the hell out of me" OV here's that all to familiar whoosh. "Not you again!" OV says as Xichra goes by. OV takes a dive and spots land as 3 fireballs whizz by. OV pulls up as Xichra shoots down farther spinning out of control. OV heads for land and can see the distant lightning flashes and storm clouds of his final stop......

The door suddenly bursts open and Zelda falls into the room. "Has anyone seen Merciless? I lost him yet again. Good lord, it's windy and wet out there. I am soaked to the absolute bone."

Ferazel absentmindly waves her to the ziridium pool and the basket of poppyseed muffins. "Thank you...I hate to rob you from any darn time from IRC," she says sarcastically. Sighing happily she takes a long soak in the brine while sipping some kokanee. She then takes a couple of poppyseed muffins from the basket. "Merciless will no doubt be hungry once I find him." She notices the guestbook and signs her name and adds, "Thanks M.L." Then resolutely wrapping her cloak about her, she once again heads out into the stormy night.

Hey, if you're in love with someone, then you have every right to completely screw up their life.--cynical me!

OV's hang-glider shakes violently and starts to crash. "Ahhhhhhhhhh!!!!!" OV shouts as he hits the ground and flies head over heals into a bush. "Well that was interesting.... Back to where this all started." OV finds himself standing near a steep hill that he had fallen down on a few days ago. OV sees a light shining very near. "I hope Monserlady and Thok arn't to worried" (once again, Not knowing there are more people than them there) OV finally manages to step into the cabin and sees Feraze sitting at the ibook. OV so tired collapses to the floor......

Thok yawns. His half-open eyes jerked open, a grin forming on his face. He reached into his coat, and finally pulls out a movie box. It reads, 'Monty Python and the Holy Grail' Thok then proceeds to watch this really funny movie.

"I seem to have found a new oxymoron; sufficiently evil!" -Kanddak

The door is pushed open, but only opens partially because it is blocked by OV's feet. MonsterLady and Corkmaster come back into the cabin, squeezing in through the narrow opening. Both MonsterLady and Corkmaster are soaked to the skin.

MonsterLady looks at Ferazel online and Thok watching Monty Python. Shakes her head sadly and grabs and drags OV over to the Ziridium pool.

MonsterLady looks at the guestbook. "Oh, I missed Zelda!"

As OV recovers MonsterLady puts together a batch of cheese scones (she's all out of poppyseeds), while Corkmaster rebuilds the fire (which was sinking dangerously low as Ferazel was obviously not paying attention to it).

Then OV, Corkmaster and MonsterLady sit by the fire and share a bottle of zinfindel, laughing occassionally at killer rabbits and knights on bridges, but otherwise just happy to be inside and out of the storm.

As the movie wore on, all but Farazel and MosterLady fell asleep.
Then...
Suddenly, the air above MosterLady's stove swirls and a figure appears on top of the oven, and spectacuraly falls into it. The oven explodes, but the space-time swirl absorbs most of it. As the blast clears, the hooded figure is lying on the air.
"Oh no! My oven! Oh my, that person seems to be dead!" says MonsterLady. "I better give it an Rez Necklace. " She plops a Rez Neclace on the hood (which keeps strangly sliding through the body), and the figure jerks. It mumbles "sprit kickback...antiverse...no!" and then lies very still. MosterLady notices that the body is not breathing anymore.
"What happened?" asked Ferazel.
"I have no idea." says Mosterlady.
"WAIT! The hooded person said anti! And something about a kickback. Maybe they were transporting and the opposite happened that was supposed to happen." said Ferazel.
"That swirl meant only one thing. It is from another dimension. Maybe the dimension is the opposite of this one!"
"Yeah!" said Ferazel. Ferazel and Mosterlady exchanged high fives.
"The opposite of land is air, that's why it's floating, and the opposite of the rez necklace is...death."
"I wonder what's deadly around here."
"Oh no. One thing is as quick as a Rez necklace. The Death powerup." says Mosterlady fearfully.

Thok yawned, strenching his arms out. He then started to hum the 'brave sir robin' song from the movie. He had been awake long enough to know what was going on. If there was one thing Thok was good at, it was... ...Death traps! No, pretending to be asleep. Thok then pulls out a crate and tosse it onto the stove. "Stay back. Far back." He shot it with a fireball and a death powerup came flying out into the corpse...

OV gets aquainted with new members. OV makes some more poppyseed muffins and watches the new guy. "Okkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk" he says

The figure turns neon yellow and dissapears. Ten seconds later, a new oven appears. Five seconds after that, an iMac appears, and then the figure. He is typing in Appleworks. He typed:
Hello, everybody. Thanks for saving me. What can I do for you?

"Well, to start with" MonsterLady says, "you can tell us who you are, and what all that (meaning the exploding oven, etc.) was about."

"Then you can get us some more poppyseeds. OV's made a batch of muffins, but those aren't poppyseeds he put in them. We're all out of poppyseeds."

The figure dosn't reply. Getting angry, Thok fires a Statue spell at him. The air around him sparkles, and the figure becomes solid. He then says. "Hello. How are you doing?". MonsterLady repeates her questions. The figure (who's name is John), can't remember what happened (he insists he walked in a few minutes ago), gives MonsterLady a bag of poppyseeds out of his pocket, grabs a cup of hot chocolate, and sits down in the nearest empty chair, and reads FerazelToday.
