Re: Discord's Game

Cloud just stares at the statues for some time, not sure how to react to this development, before kneeling and speaking to the Queen of the night with a small smile, happy that he is no longer forced into fighting heroes of olde. "Our...apologies, great queen of the night. We had been part of a game designed by the chaotic one and were unaware you had overthrown him and restored balance."
((Persuasion: 25 (18+7) Hooray! My dice don't hate me!))

The Nightmare looks mildly confused. "...We appreciate thy subservience... but Discord has been overthrown for millennia. How then can you have been unaware of this?"

Cloud matches the alicorn's confusion. "Millennia? Forgive my impudence, but we heard his voice but a few moments ago, while he had forced us to fight...the great hero of time." Cloud's face changes to profound sadness upon revealing this fact.
((Continued persuasion that we're not a threat: 25 (18+7) Woohoo! Dice still not hating me!))
((It's almost like I planned this. I didn't of course, but it definitely could be viewed that way. Wink.))

"...We know not of whom you speak," the Nightmare says eventually. "Scribe! Retrieve for Us all known data on Discord's machinations!"

Another Shadowbolt darts across the room, rummaging through a shelf full of scrolls which you are certain was not there before. Come to think of it, you don't recall seeing that particular Shadowbolt before either.

Actually, from what I recall of medieval speech, "you" was correct in that instance. LOL

((I read so much about LoZ before just throwing my hands up and going with this.))
((Sometimes I think I'm a glutton for punishment, but then I'm like "nah, I'm too lazy to seek out punishment."))
Cloud sighs and quietly says, "Legend...he's just a legend..." As he thinks, he remembers something that might help. "If it would assist...the game began approximately 13 years after the chaotic return."

"Lies!" declares the Shadowbolt scribe. "All of Discord's chaotic effects ended after he was sealed in stone! You are obviously lying!" He shows his liege a scroll. Apparently, it backs up what he's saying, because the fury is returning to her face.

"Thou DAREST to lie to thy Queen?!" she shouts at the intruders.

"My liege a loyal subject of your's would never dare to lie to our allmightly queen. You mearly need to cast your all seeing eyes to your once fair kingdom and see how your lands have become twisted, how your vassals have been corrupted, and how your magnificent moon now competes the foul and burning sun. It does appear that the scribe is the one to lie to you."

The Nightmare's eyes glowed for a moment, before returning to their previous fury. "We see nothing but peace and prosperity across the land! CLEARLY you are all traitors, trying to sabotage Our rule!"

MacVellion finds somewhat less chaos on the statues than he would expect from this place.

Dragoon motions for the group to move to either side "Pray what do you see beyond the door that we have just come through is it not a room of chaos?"

The Warrior of Many Faces Thu Dec 06, 2012 5:47 pm

"...clearly thou art delusional, to think that the Royal Waiting Room is a room of chaos," the Nightmare says dryly.

Toxin takes two trots to the left so that the Nightmare has a better view of the room they just came through.

MacVellion has no idea, but it does seem odd to him that there's less chaos here than there is everywhere else.
