Jenny stood for a moment stunned at the sudden transportation and command. Oh sweat Naya what have I gotten myself into. The thought of climbing down had occurred to her but if her unseen tormentor could whisk her away with out Jenny even having a chance to do anything maybe it was best not to upset her. Thinking only a moment about how screwed she seemed to be Jenny crouched really low and went very still. Poor Sir was probably freaking out a little poor guy. A small little tear ran down her face thinking about her little friend and she hopped he was alright.

Actually Servo was still where Jenny was just now! She could spot the lil guy from here quite easily, a good 25 feet from her... indeed he was frantically looking around running to one side, then to another constantly. His hands infront of him in a worried fashion, Jenny could try to get his attention, but then she'd risk getting the attention of the 4 meat puppets down below. Surely with her ducking down there was no chance Sir would spot her.

Indeed Sir looked to be worried but Jenny had to stay down or be seen when an idea struck her. Sir always seemed to be drawn to magic things so maybe if she held one of her items up he would sense it. Reaching into her pocket Jenny pulled out the occulus and held it up a little hopeing the reflected light would catch Sir's attention with out letting the puppets see her.

The hall was only lightly illuinated so catching a clear sunbeam would prove to be highly unlikely. Still perhaps just the Oculus would help out. Unfortunately it didn't seem all that effective... Jenny sighed sadly and kept her head down. Somehow she felt it was a good idea to stay hidden.

Suddenly a wispy blue lightly reached her, looking up Servo was up to something as he created a very weak blue light route to the girl. Mistey did mention Servo had the ability to find known people or objects! Jenny smiled widely as the little golem looked to her and raised his hands in joy, but looked around the rather worried.

Still with a little subtelty the itsy bitsy companion soon made his way to Jenny triuphantly and happily raising his hands. Jenny hugged the small golem, when suddenly the familair sound of bells rang out loudly. Each ringing bell, seemingly darkening the sky. The puppets down below cried out in a screech and fel lifeless right there and now! A feeling of dread overcame Jenny as she ducked down and brought Servo down aswell!

The bells continued to rang out turning the sky a dark shade of orange, winds going wild, even ripping some of the ground up causing a seeming maelstorm. Numerous cries rang out around Jenny seemingly the academy itself screaming in pain louder and louder! As if thousands of souls cried out, when suddenly just complete and utter silence fel. The winds still raging outside, but were as if muted.

An unearthly chill fel down on the room, causing the girls breach to become visible as without a sound figure loomed forward. It was a creature in bright red robe, it's legs not reaching the ground. In it's hand it carried a large scythe the black seemingly made of solid shadows. The creature paused briefly as if feeling the girl watching behind it's back.

Only to move onwards and through the closed doors towards the Star God hall.

Jenny shivered at the sight and it was a good long while before she even dared to move. Staying here was bad but moving and running into that thing could be worse and their was no telling where it was. Opting to stay Jenny currled up and waited for the day to return.

Re: Dark Secrets (ranger) GMed by Ubberific

There was a sky light above Jenny, the very same she tried to catch a beam of light from. Looking up she could see clear tears in the academy dome during this time, the darkness of night peeking inside from outside. At any rate whatever this time was if she was caught in the open things may have been far worse... Not to mention, that woman said 'them'. There was more than one of these, perhaps even something else entirely.

The heroine couldn't sleep during this time, so just waited out. How could she sleep? Outside there was a whirling, even tearing the ground apart, inside almost literally death stalked the halls.

After quite a bit of time, the bells from rang out more... but they sounded as if rewinded! With each distorted ring the sky brightened up and the wind calmed. Soon it was back to normal hopefully, just the sun shinning down happily upon the tomb-like building.

It had been a frightful event and even then Jenny was frozen to her spot ears alert as she scanned the area. Looking about Jenny eyed the meat puppets in particular. Did they start moving again or where they truly dead once more? Still Jenny waited a little while longer before carefully getting down from her perch and heading out being silent as she could.

Stealth check:

44 vs 42 +
48 vs 29 +

All good.

Unfortunately the news pierced the air ir very rough manner. One of the tables a puppet rested got toppled over causing the other three to twitch and look to the commotion. The table flipper slowly stood up and just blankly stared forward. These things were both disgusting and depressing to watch...

And Jenny wasn't going to stick around and watch them any longer than needed, Jenny gently let herself down and went on to sneak out of the room with Sir right behind her, floating deftly alongside the heroine.

Out of the cafeteria Jenny slowly closed the door and sighed with relief. Well there was one more place left to check - the necromancy class!

The hall of the Star God was empty, only the corpse of the decapitated puppet Jenny killed lied here. The heroine slowly got down the stairs, she closed her eyes for a brief moment and opened them with her nightseye gift in full force. Things were certainly different here now. She could see atleast 4 meat puppets torn asunder scattered throughout the room and atleast 3 more dead near the necromancy class. Looked like that fuck certainly paid off.

A fairly proud smirk on her face she inspected the area, noting another change. The hellhound was gone... she didn't spare another thought of the corpses fate. Either way, she was downstairs and could proceed to whatever she wished. The coast seemed to be clear.

Jenny moved to the doors of the necromancy class and listened intently. Before she had heard a meat puppet just beyond the door and given the situation Jenny didn't any more surprises than what had already happened. If she didn't hear anything she would slowly open the door using it as cover before sneaking a peak.

Re: Dark Secrets (ranger) GMed by Ubberific

Thankfully looks like one of the meatpuppets inside the necromancy door was near Jenny right now. In around 6 different pieces. It was silent inside. Jenny slowly pushed the door open only to be assault, by a fairly disgusting smell. It was a circular room with the northern part devoted to numerous tables and seats, likely where the students sat... the circle in the middle was fairly huge. A rune inscribed upon it. The side of the room were covered in books, candle stands and... actual skulls? Not just that of human, but numerous others.

The southern part of the room was just a huge steel door atleast 8 feet tall... but one of it's steel edges seemed to have been peeled off. Due to the rooms dark nature, it was hard to say for sure, but a chill ran down Jennys spine knowing that there was death and blood in this room.

Closer inspection also revealed one of the skulls on the side was shimmering with unknown... well actually already known energies. The skull had a tale to tell.

Re: Dark Secrets (ranger) GMed by Ubberific

Jenny held her arm against her mouth trying to block the smell but alas it wouldn't go away. Borrowing a trick she had learned from mucking stalls Jenny just took a few deep breaths to acclimate her senses to the smell before heading over to the skull. She would check this first before seeing if she could find a book or some such that could end the unlife of the meat puppets.

 

[Ubberific]

Re: Dark Secrets (ranger) GMed by Ubberific

Jenny approached the curious skull, 3 musty tomes rested nearby with an old unlit candle. If she touched it likely, her mind would wander. The shimmer was alluring, but jumping right to it just left a bad gut feeling for the girl. Then again what could possibly go wrong.

The books were severly aged, from their covers likely brought over from somewhere else unlike most of the academy literature. Each had identical covers and looked exactly the same. She could take a peek inside, but something about this seemed off.

 

[ranger]

Re: Dark Secrets (ranger) GMed by Ubberific

Jenny looked at the three tomes and the skull. She was utter lost on what to do here. Something wasn't right and her senses just screamed trap. How in the hells was she supposed to know? Maybe touching the skull would show her the clues she needed but something was off about that to? "Damn it fucking sheep fuckers!" it was one of her fathers more creative curses but all it did was help her vent a little anger.

Re: Dark Secrets (ranger) GMed by Ubberific

Jenny looked to Sir for his input, but what could the little golem honestly offer her. He's only just recently left Mistey labs, instead though Servo looked over to the giant steel door which was torn apart at the bottom. It actually raised quite a bit of questions on it's own, what was kept inside... and did it get out.

Either way Jenny could do as she pleased. The 3 books infront of her keeping their secrets hidden, from her sight.

Re: Dark Secrets (ranger) GMed by Ubberific

Jenny wanted to delve into the secrets but her hand held its position. To much was going on and really Jenny didn't want to mess with things she didn't understand just yet. Looking at the items she left best to wait and see if she can figure out a safer way or find memories that would help her. Still Jenny walked around checking the tomes hoping to find something that she could read and maybe help defeat the puppets. Heading aroud the room Jenny checked over what she could. Finding the small hole in the door. Something got out of here so there had to be something in there. Pausing a moment Jenny got on her hands and knees and peaked threw the crack.

 

[Ubberific]

Re: Dark Secrets (ranger) GMed by Ubberific

The trio of books, the story the skull held... it was all so tempting. Still Jenny moved her hand back, perhaps she shouldn't mess with these objects afterall. This was a necromancy class, one of the most vile and darkest schools of powers...then again perhaps these were the books Jenny needed to purge the place of these puppets, not to mention shed some light on the event she so recently witnessed. The lure of knowledge should not be underestimated...

Still it was best to check the safer alternatives before proceeding, Jenny checked some other books, but not to much avail. All of them had dark covers, black the seeming necromancers color of choice. These books didn't carry the fairly oppresive feel to them like the trio and were clearly written much more recently. Unfortunately besides the gibberish that was the arcane writing and numerous runes, which Jenny couldn't even imagine meant there was nothing here for her. Not even a book with pictures of the meat puppets!

Jenny closed the book and looked around the huge steel door an obvious elephant in the room. Well she should at the very least peek inside... The heroine approached the torn apart crack, looking over this was obviously made with blunt instruments. Something bashed it's way through the substantially thick steel and bent it outside. The hole 'exit' wasn't small by any means meaning the girl didn't even need to crawl and check what lied inside, though one thing was certain originated from here. Jenny peeked inside and felt her heart sink. It was a room atleast 14 feet tall and hundreds upon hundreds of steel hooks lined the walls in 2 rows. The black ooze absolutely soaking the walls and ground. The darkness deeper into the room seemed unnatural, even with her nighteyes Jenny could not see deeper into the room.

Re: Dark Secrets (ranger) GMed by Ubberific

Well then Jenny backed away slowly from the crack. "Well..... Im not so sure I want to go in there ever." She hadn't seen any of the puppets but there was an area of deep deep darkness that even her enhanced vision couldn't see threw.

 

[Ubberific]

Re: Dark Secrets (ranger) GMed by Ubberific

There were some places one shouldn't go exploring. Jenny deemed this foul location as one of them. Jenny backed away from the horrendous sight and was back in the necromancy room, not much better but atleast there were no meat hooks or black ooze here.

The necromancy class was just how the girl left it. The thrio of books rested on one of the tables, with the skull nearby. Besides that she checked quite a few of the other books, but her previous look through them didn't yield much results.

Re: Dark Secrets (ranger) GMed by Ubberific

Shaking her head at the sight Jenny looked to the books again the temptation lingering. "Well Sir be ready for anything alright?" Jenny took her blade and flipped open the middle book's cover her nerves on edge waiting to run if the need arouse.

Resistance check
21 vs 30 FAIL

Jennys body is controlled!
Jenny shifts her own clothing!

Jenny flpped the book open with her blade and quickly stepped back expecting the worst! As soon as the book flipped over it instantly disitegrated into a small black cloud. The heroine eyed the cloud curiously slowly extending her blade before attempting to swirl it.

Unfortunately the moment Jennys blade neared it the smoke quickly darted forward, past the blade and into the girls hand. Causing goosebumps to run through her! The girl quickly dropped her blade and cried out lightly out of shock!

There didn't seem to be anything wrong with her... Jenny breathed deeply looking to the hand the smoke seeped in. She was about to relax when suddenly noted her palm move, on it's own! Soon followed by her other hand. The girl perhaps would've started to freak out, but her own breathing wasn't under her control anymore! It was as if Jenny just had her sight and senses, but no other control of her own body!

The girl gently ran her hands across her curves, tugging at the leather corset buckle, it's hold leesening on the girls top. This was soon followed by the girl slightly slipping her leather pants down just enough so she slip a hand down. It was fairly clear what her body had in mind, whether Jennys mind wanted it or not!
