Floor 1 "Wheel": 1-2

[Carthrat]

"No."

[Corwin]

Euphemia looks dismayed. "What are you prepared to kill, then?"

[Carthrat]

"Things in other places."

Sacchin abruptly stands up, and kicks the grating around the door. "Get to center with different body later. Fight knight first."

[Ebiris]

"That Ranmaru chap said something about the knight killing him - lets summon him!" Flasheart suggests, doing just that.

[Corwin]

"A good plan," Euphemia agrees, having been prepared to do that herself.

[Anastasia]

So summoned, Ranmaru appears!

Ball is in all of your courts now.

[Carthrat]

"Knight. Where," demands Sacchin, rounding on the new arrival.

[VySaika]

Ranmaru appears! This time, rather then being androgenous in the least, he is a four and a half foot tall, stocky dwarf with a bushy beard that stops at about the middle of his chest.

As Sacchin demands information from him, Ranmaru raises an eyebrow, "It would serve you well to learn some manners."

Then turning to address Lord Flasheart, he answers the question, "There was a room full of debris, scraps, I suppose the best word for it is simply junk. In this room there was a platform that was glowing white. When I stepped on it, I was dropped into a hallway filled with water, and the knight attacked soon after. Alone, I was no match for him, he is a fearsome foe indeed, along with that vicious shark he rides. But with allies, I'm sure he will fall."

[Carthrat]

"This way," decides Sacchin, processing this information and taking off for the room of junk once again!

[Anastasia]

After some long but uneventful climbs and maneuverings, the party returns to the entrance of the junk room! A silver pad has appeared out of the rubble near the entryway, as if serenely waiting for someone to use it.

[Carthrat]

"Let us go," she insists, storming towards the platform, spoiling for a fight.

[Ebiris]

Since he lacks any weapons appropriate to an aquatic environment, Flasheart attempts to scavenge a stabbing implement from one of the nearby corpses. If none are available a handy piece of sharp debris will have to do. "Lets give him what for, eh?" he agrees heartily with Sacchin as he heads onto the platform.

Basically scavenging the best piercing weapon I can find

[VySaika]

Seeing Flasheart rumaging around for a weapon, Ranmaru offers him his own lance, "If you need a weapon, then use this, Lord. I intend to close and grapple with the knight, hopefully to hold him immoble for your attacks to strike true, so I won't need it for this battle."

Mw. Heavy Lance, if you'd rather use that then an imp. weapon?

[Carthrat]

"Wrestling a shark. Excellent killer you must be," notes Sacchin, with some approval.

[Anastasia]

Lord Flasheart finds a longsword amid the slain foes.
