   Captain Penguin snarled in frustration and wished he were in the Armorican Kingdoms right at that moment. He also wished he had a nice elven woman to keep him company. Most of all, he wished for grog.
   "You about done gettin' me outta' this hole?!" he shouted out to Strolen.

   Strolen presses the ring firmly on the the Captain's exposed skin, or is it feathers he silently wondered to himself, and had to continue moving to keep the pressure on. Looking up, Strolen sees that the Cap'n is indeed shrinking. A triumphant gaze is pointed towards Piece and the hand shakes in what could be amusement or disgust.
   
   "A'hoy, Cap'n. It appears you are now more my size. Hey, Piece, do we know the duration of this thing?"
   
   A clear shrug is returned as Piece starts following the Cap'n through the hole. Strolen follows as well and at about that time a shrill whistle can be heard from inside the Citadel.
   
   "Better go see what all the commotion is about. This is killing my lawn."
   
   Take us the rest of the way Cap'n.

   "Whar..Wuh...Gurr..." mumbled Captain Penguin, looking at his shrunken self and the now-large hole in the ground.
   Then, with a shrug, he said "Come this way", and tramped off down the tunnel.

   Luke found himself in the libary facing down the essence of perfection with Moonhunter, Ria, Shadoweagle, and himself. The odds didn't look good, "Quick split up Ria take right, Shadow left, Moonhunter go up." Then Luke launched himself into a sprint right at the beast four feet before he leapt up into the air and brought his lightsaber of his head for a powerful slash.
   
   
   OOC: Lol

   I already took the liberty of moving your character in there, Luke :) All the scribes who were in that main part (Ria, myself, you and Moonhunter) are in there, locked inside ;) You can edit your post to be in there ^^
   
   Sorry
   
   Besides, I don't think Strolen would be pleased that his own people would be cutting holes in his structures :P

   Some little light sabre isn't going to mark my library door, no way ;)
   Strolen scurries in behind Captain Penguin and following on the heels....wrist...of Piece. The tunnel was only long enough to go under the wall, but who designed this place anyway? Going to have to look into removing that tunnel. shove a boulder into it or something.
   
   Coming out of the tunnel showed a yard full of carnage, some still on fire, others lying cut and bleeding, others still cauterized in pieces. Another group was off towards the library covered in a web. Looking at the bodies and web a somewhat clear trail of death could be seen leading towards the libraries great doors.
   
   The small size of the three friends made them hard to notice among the movement inside the citadel proper.
   
   "What do you think Cap'n? Get across while your small enough to waddle through?" Either way we need to get inside somewhere, we can't do much good out here."

   Captain Penguin spat at one of the goblinish corpses and began to waddle in the direction of the tavern.
   "First things first, Ah'm gettin' me a drink." he said tersely. "Then, when Ah'm good an' spit-drunk, Ah'm goin' inteh' yer' Library an gettin' me a new set o' bloody scrolls. These is defective."
   And with that, he turned and began to sojourn over the bloody belly of the carrion goblin.

   Valiant though Lukes attack was, the beast was already gone, hidden in the maze-like arrays of bookshelves. For its huge size, the beast certainly made little noise - it was quiter than a cat stalking. Of course, it made a couple menacing hisses at random intervals, but the high ceiling of the roof echoed the sounds and thus made it difficult to discern an exact location.
   
   Shadoweagle, in the meanwhile, had made his way to the left, scrying the bookcases. Obviously he was looking for something. Something which would help find the location of this beast so they wouldnt be slaughtered without even knowing the direction the attack came from. he knew how his creation worked, and he knew just how deadly it could be - physical, magical AND mental attacks all had a reduced effect on it - even Lukes lightsaber would have a hard time searing through the beasts carapace.

    Strolen looks to Piece, "I thought he was drunk?" shrugs, then louder, "Alright Cap'n have a belt or two for me and try not to forget we are under attack! Better check your barrels for any damage while you are in there and you might want to think about your secret stashes around this place. Who knows what will happen to them if they find them, but we will see you later."

    (OOC: Jumpstart! And, because, y'know, just having ONE homicidal monster is never enough.)
    
    Ria fled through the library. She had thought Gaeric had nasty potential when she had read the scroll, but she had no desire to find out how nasty. But many of her scrolls could be of use, if she could only get to them. Right off hand, she would be very happy to have the Family Cohrron, or Gypsy, or any of her warriors. She cursed herself for not getting around to writing up the scrolls for the other people she dreamed up.
    She caught a glimpse of someone. One of the librarians? She slowed down. A middle-aged looking man, very fierce looking. He seemed to be dressed in ragged ranger's clothing. She noticed a large irregular brownish patch on his tunic.
    Oh no. Don't let that be...
    He saw her, and grinned unpleasantly. Then he pulled a large, wicked looking hunting knife. "You are trespassing in my lady's lands. The penalty is death. You may start running now."
    Ria screamed a most unladylike obscenity and spun on her heel, running flat out. You damn fool! Every one needs a homicidal pyschopath every now and then, brilliant!
    They would have to go and let Roland Feyfriend out...
    
    NPC encounter Roland Feyfriend

    The beast was gone even as he landed the light saber passed through nothing. Luke tunred it off before it could light the scrolls on fire, settting a fire and burning all their out wasn't a good idea. What he needed was an advantage something that would give an edge over this beast. He set off to a the area of scrolls that induced powers or enhancements. It was dark this area not many people went back in here. Too much of a chance that you could end up activating some ones scroll and ending up a mess.
    
    Luke had known all too many who had come back here and spent a week with an extra tail or maybe as a blob of slime. Not a very pretty thing to be or feel for any length of time. Luke went into the way back of the section where some of the more dangerous power were kept. He selected the Psi powers written by Araith it gave him the edge he needed. He spent a few moments channeling his energy then he spoke the incantation.
    
    Powers flowed into him, immediately he felt four other beings in the room. Shadoweagle's slick clever thoughts, Ria's panicked terror, MoonHunter's cold calculating thoughts. And the darkness it moved like mist through the libary slowly stalking each of them. Luke headed straight towards using the Psi ability to home in on it's erractic thoughts.
    
    He lit his lightsaber and stepped around a corner ready to face it...

    Cudos on Jumpstarting this, Ria :) And Luke, are those Psi powers by araith actually in here, and if so, please give a link. A condition of this roleplay is that whatever scroll is read, must already be made in the main section.
    
    I will make another post soon :)
