Ring Of Thieves - Page 14

Thanks for waiting for me, but I will not say anything notable to change what is the inevitable, wear the ring.

Thieves Ring

You place the ring upon your finger, and the room goes black. You are suddenly thrust into some sort of hideous limbo, swimming in palpable darkness as you feel your control over your own reality slip through your fingers. You try to look around, and you see Tricia staring at you with concern. You wounder what your look like now. She seems distant and silent, as if seen through several veils. She points her blade to the door, and motions for you to follow. Looks urgent.

But you don't feel inclined to go, you don't feel much at all. You have other places to go and things to do. You walk away. You walk away into a long dark tunnel. You leave your life behind. Xim can have it, and he does. He has you and every thing you were. If he survives the battle, he even has Patricia.

If anything interesting happens you are unaware of it.

THE END

Well that body snatching little thief seems to have made off with our lady! I guess Lucas was right all along one can not trust magic!

So back to the point where we put on the ring and we run run run run!

Seems chickens do well in this one! We now have one life left.

92 Road runner if he catches you you are though! beep beep

You lift the ring to your finger. You stop!

In the back of your mind you find you still do not trust Xim. He has his Djinni to fight but you're here to get Patricia!

You find you can not! Slowly against your will you are putting on the ring ....

"NO" the voice is patricia's, but it echoes the scream in your own mind. You see a flash of steel as Patricia brings her blade down to strike your hand with the pommel. The ring flies downward, and bounces on the rubble. You are free again, and you feel a fog lifting from your brain.

The wind still shows no sign of abating. You are still in big trouble.

"What was that?" Yells Patricia.

"It was a very powerful spirit"; you yell back, "His name is Xim. He helped me get here."

She shakes her head and smiles. She raises her blade and touches it to yours. Her lips mouth the word partners and a smile, but you can not hear her words over the noise.

You step forward towards the door just as a large block of stone crashes behind you. Tricia kicks the door in and you leap into the anteroom, sword at the ready. Nothing. , the dead guard is still dead, but the guards in the next room are dead also!

It doesn't look good for the Grey-suits.

The corridor back into the sewers has collapsed. Patricia motions to the room full of dead guards. The stair is still clear! You both run for it and come up into a wide chamber. you can see a wooden door above you, cracked and splintered, but still holding. you can also feel the heat of a fire and smell smoke. The room you are in had several exists a few minutes ago, but only the stone stairway up exists now!

Between you and it are a group of armed men in Grey suits and a man in white and green robes, The bodies of two other guards are sprawled messily upon the floor in pools of their own blood. The robed man shouts"It is they! The ring thieves! Kill them and we will have our revenge!"

You consider for an instant that it was n fact they who robbed you, but decide arguing that point will do little good. This you think must be the idiot who summoned up the Red Djinni in the first place!

Grey suits: Namless thug team (3)

Woo hoo action at last!

Round 1 Thus 10 us 11 they lose one die

Round two thug 11 us 12 Yikes! they lose one dies

Round three thug 2 us 12 We Win!


Patricia is an expert with a short sword, and you turn to see the last of her foes sliding peacefully from her blade. You like to lie to your friend and claim that you taught her how to fight; it gets her really angry ...

All of the guards lie dead on the floor, as smoke rolls downward from the wooden building above.

You run upstairs. Your eyes watering and you find it difficult to breath, but you can see what is happened to the wizard. What is left of him is scattered all around the room. Broken pottery earthen ware, tables, shelves are all scattered about the room, and above them stand two mighty figures.

Xim somehow risen from the rubble below, is facing off with a large creature that looks like a demon. Its skin is bright orange and pulled tight of large muscles, and it wields a flaming sword, thrusting skillfully at the dodging laughing Xim.

That little Xim was not so little after all. No sense staying to watch a bomb go off, let's escape.

Hey with all these posts maybe I will be able to get into the medieval game now?

Silly ending, serves us right for trusting the little bastard. Lets get outta here!

Thieves Ring

Silly indeed the whole story just took twists that baffled me. But for the record my two boys played it through last night and only died once they took the Iron door also but were scared of the Xim spirit. The also took a different path and fought many more battles. I will let my youngest roll for now one he is very very very lucky!

You tear your watering eyes away from the battle and run out through fallen, burning wall. You run into a gathering group of observers, and wade though their groping hands and questions. You need to get away from here!

From behind you you hear the triumphant yell. It is Xim. But, the yell quickly fades into a faint echo, and is no more. You fear the worst for the spirit in the ring. A ball of flame erupts from the building, and the crowd screams, pressing back as the fireball rises into the swirling snow.

With the pottery shop collapsing in flames behind you, you slump into Patricia's arms, and the two of you stop in a near-by alley to catch your breath.

Using the crowds as a cover you begin heading to the southern gate of the city.

"Its a shame, though ..."you say, "about the ring. Or maybe it is. Xim had an awful lot of power. He might have made a useful ally."

Patricia tightens her sword-belt and looks at you for a long time, an expression of obvious concern darkening her features. "I think Lucas ..."she says at last, "that we do just fine without a third partner." She smiles "I think we do just fine."


The end to a strange tell at best. Thank you all for participating and if any do not know The house of Horror 2 has restarted and promises to be a tad more interactive then this story was.
