RottenLuck

The Drums stopped for a moment it was as if all the Gri'shil froze in place. Then one of the disgraced younglings spoke up "It's one of the God like ones! See! We spoke truth soft skin round ears that can kill with eyes!"

Har'thon Hissed and charged at Tafari grabbing a spear and then throwing it at him "YOU NOT GOD! YOU SOFT SKIN!"

The Sacrifices however were impressed and started screaming not in terror but pleads. "HELP US! The Machines are coming! They will kill us! It's the Machines the Gril'shil think are Gods!"

In the distance Rotten crotched down behind a boulder. Human sacrifices some kind of Lizard people and now a God. He shook his head and let out a sigh "Just my rotten luck I hate having to deal with religious nuts and some God I never heard of. Well at least it's not the Banished Pantheon and that Giant monster Adamastor."

He then looked over his shoulder at Elizabeth. "This is as good a time as any to come clean. I Helped you out of the city to protect the people of the city. Out here you wouldn't be able to turn any more of them into one of your minions. I'm a Good guy I guess what you called a Constable. Seeing you use your powers in the Warehouse I knew fighting and arresting you could cause more harm then good. It was smarter to get you out of there."

"Now I am honor bound to go over there and save those people. Stay here, Leave, aid me or blast me in the back is up to you. For now I got a job to do." Rotten rose up it was odd all this time he always thought of himself as playing a role. Be the good guy for pretend till he found a way to be free of the curse. However he couldn't deny it any longer the role became real.

He headed for the human sacrifices expected to be attacked either from the GOD, the Gri'shil, and even from the Countess or a combination of all three. Indeed now more then ever he was being a real hero and putting his life... well undead life on the line.

With a deep breath he called out "LET THOSE PEOPLE GO!"

Elven Forest

Aineruda turned to the tender "you said creations besides the flying trees and the talking tree men what other abnormalities have you noticed?"

(( Lol alright I forgot my own character's name. edit it later tonight when I figure out his name))

The Alchemist went over to the Mutated Tree ship. "Hmm if I miss my guess..." He took out a pencil and tapped the thorn. A green acid seeped out and burned into the pencil.

"Yes these things are loaded with acid a type I use when making the Acid arrows. However I have to concentrate that. These are even stronger."

From inside the mutated tree the Pilot responded it's voice was harsh "Attack... Destroy World killer... Protect Heart tree"

Aineruda looked over and sighed "I hope that what the Heart Tree intended but a part of me is even more sadden thinking that monstrosity is what the Heart Tree wanted."

"IT'S your fault Aineruda!" A new voice called out from the path. The owner was an Elven man dressed in a dark blue robe. "You let these Outsiders in the forest! First the Humans and their wasteful ways and weapons and then that rampaging monstrosity and now these... People! YOU let the Outsider Pollution In! You caused the Heart tree to grow these Freakish Tree ships!"

"Durlan for the last time I will not have you speak so to me! I am High Elf here and of High born blood. By our customs My word is law. We all saw the Lake people get destroyed when the Waste appeared crushing them. I refuse to wait till the same thing happens to us."

"Even if these Tree ships only grow to be half the size of the Heart Tree with all eight of them we can leave patches. Have you thought that far ahead Durlan? That one of the Tree's plans is our Escape with it's seeds! The Heart Tree wants to survive as much as any living thing but like any Parent it would sacrifice itself for it's offspring."

Durlan was not about to be out matched again "YOU call that a pure offspring of the Heart tree!" He pointed to the mutated Tree ship. "That thing looks to be only an instrument of death! Not life face it Aineruda the Heart tree been poisoned by the outsiders. Strange plants and animals are appearing in our forest. Like the Giant spiders that are now being spotted they were Never Giant spiders here before!"

"I don't have time for your whining Durlan. So unless you have something useful to say be quiet."

Whatever Durlan was going to say got cut off by a Guard. "My Lady shouts have spotted a large number of Gri'shil on it's way. Numbering in the eight hundred to a thousand. They have two of those large animals they call Thunder beasts with them."



Aineruda sighed again "When it rains it pours."

"Getting back home is a plus in my book and if we work together chances are we find it faster. Besides finding out what's going on is alot better then being stuck inside to afraid to look." He started heading in the direction of the fires hearing the drumming beat from the Gri'shil holy men.

Elven Forest

Aineruda looked over to Kethara "I believe they stopped being seeds. A sacrifice it seems a new form of life but at the cost of a true Heart tree seedling."

The Plantman turned and went to the waiting Tree ship and touched the side the bark opened and he went in. This time however the door remained open. He sat down and became integrated into the control chair.

His voice became louder broadcasting out of the Tree ship itself. "Heart Tree wishes to aid in the end of the World killer. To do this we were made... flying life to fight flying death. Once World killer is gone Place of dead will be first place of planting. Returning life to what should be alive."

Tears fell freely from Aineruda eyes "I fear that our dear Heart Tree has also learned what it means to hate... Now more then ever I wish I was back home under the twin Moons looking out at the stars and the glow of the Heart tree pollen."

Her head turned and the showing of her sadness was quickly forgotten "Beating? As in Drums? Are you sure because if you are then the Gri'shil are making a offering to those Machines they think are Gods." Then she looked at all of them one by one "Sacrifices as in Human sacrifices."

Perhaps no one noticed or perhaps they did but one of the Tree ships was different. Thorns were growing on it's trunk/body and along the Tentacle like branches the leaves even had a edge of red.

Not sure about the Windows but you might want to see if you have your version updated.

I try updating your Video Driver. Heck you might even want to double check to see if that new Motherboard driver is up to date.

Ah but would you meet yourself? Given the fact Cells are always splitting and repairing the body. Given enough time every cell in your body is replaced ... perhaps not the brain and nerves but you get my point.

So would you really be the same you 7 years ago?

As for travel I go to Ancient Greece and hear the account of Atlantis first hand then go back farther to see if it really was. Then for the heck of it return to now and lead an expedition to discover it! This method leaves no Plot holes I bring nothing back to our time so Carbon dating would be correct and I get all the fame and reward of discovering the truth of one of the worlds most well known Myth.

"Alright Rubble then waste... and after that a nice Forest surrounded by Cliffs. Now I understand why it's called patches." He cracked his neck and looked at her "Now that we are both out of the city I guess our team up is over. My goal was to get out of there." Thought more to the point was to get her out of Paragon.

"Okay true not much of a plan but what you expect from a Zombie. So you got any plans?"

He looked about and spotted a bonfires on the boarder of the plains and the sound of drums reached his ears.

Elven Forest

"I agree the Marbles are not to be trusted. They are not normally harmful but... their idea of fun normally involves someone's else discomfort." spoke Lady Aineruda as if she was talking about being stung by a bee.

The Plant man looked at Akat eyes six of them by the way were emotionless as he thought. "Ready... for need. Deliver seeds to spread... grow... live... Autopilot?" He turned to look at the tree ship that has yet to take him on board. "I am half of a whole a Voice and hands for my other half that has no hands or voice. We are one."

Gri'shil Plains

The Human sacrifices screamed for help and begged as they were tied down to spikes that were driven into the ground. Each limb stretched so each human was in an X shape on the ground.

Har'thon Raised a staff "OH GODS OF THUNDER AND LIGHTING! Forgive us a group of younglings trespassed and suffered for it! As they should! But news of their weakness brought whispers! Show us your might!"

A few more Holy Gri'shil placed bones of dragons they found on the ground then moved away. Far away they came to know that anything in range would be destroyed when the Gods came for a sacrifice. A large bonfire was lit and drums beat as the offering ritual began.

isn't that what they do in almost any Free Issue with new costume parts? We do get random additions every so often. The Booster Packs are more focused.

Another Idea for a Booster Pack would be a Powered Armor style. Something along the lines of the PPD Hardsuit Costume. Where you can see it is a man/woman in armor or if the player chooses an Armored Robot.
