RO/NM: Teamwork!!!

-- recreantOctopus [RO]  runs by being chased by several imps and an ogre --
-- nitroMerc [NM]  just happens to be wandering about when she notices a troll being chased. --
NM: Wh☼a!
RO: er...hey!
NM: Hang ☼n, I'm c☼min'!
RO: any time!
RO: no wait
RO: CIRRIN RUNFAR has a plan
NM: Well, tell me bef☼re y☼u get squashed!
RO: get your bombs ready and stay right there
RO: CIRRIN RUNFAR will be right back
NM: Um... sure!
-- nitroMerc [NM]  fiddles about with her sylladex, ejecting all sorts of stuff everywhere before she finally retrieves a couple of bombs. --
-- recreantOctopus [RO]  continues to be chased and goes out of sight. Shouting can be heard and after a while CIRRIN RUNFAR comes running back being chased by a huge mob of imps, ogres, basilisks, and giclopses --
NM: H☼ly--!
-- nitroMerc [NM]  quickly lights a couple of bombs and tosses them blindly at the mob. Her clumsy efforts still manage to take out sizable chunks. --
RO: hey hey careful!
NM: S☼rry, s☼rry! I'm n☼t used t☼ these!
RO: oh
RO: now you tell CIRRIN RUNFAR!
NM: Careful! T☼ssin' m☼re d☼wn y☼ur way!
RO: agh CIRRIN RUNFAR thought youd still be able to aim or something
-- recreantOctopus [RO]  runs a little faster --
NM: I'm tryin' my best here!
-- nitroMerc [NM]  oops misaimed that one. But the mob's considerably thinned out, now. --
-- recreantOctopus [RO]  shouts at the mob --
RO: hey you assholes keep trying to take a bite out of CIRRIN RUNFARs ass!
-- recreantOctopus [RO]  throws some sparkle dust in the air for good measure, that seems to get their attention --
NM: H-Hey, careful there!
-- nitroMerc [NM]  retrieves a big bomb and rolls it down. Big explosion in 3... 2... 1... --
RO: TELL CIRRIN RUNFAR BEFORE YOU DO SOMETHI-
-- nitroMerc [NM]  KA-BOOM. --
-- recreantOctopus [RO]  leaps away from the explosion! --
-- nitroMerc [NM]  ducks and covers her ears! --
-- recreantOctopus [RO]  hits the dirt and rolls. After a while he gets up and looks around --
-- nitroMerc [NM]  looks up. Well, it seems that all the monsters are taken care of, so she'll carefully head down. --
NM: ... that was really, really l☼ud.
NM: Are y☼u ☼kay?
-- recreantOctopus [RO]  dusts himself down --
RO: that was...
RO: awesome! look at all that grist!
-- nitroMerc [NM]  ;D --
NM: W☼w! I didn't kn☼w I c☼uld d☼ that!
RO: we did that
RO: CIRRIN RUNFAR sets them all up and you knocked em down
NM: Y☼u're right!
NM: Nice g☼in' there, partner! Ha ha!
RO: ha ha! yeah we did alright
NM: Here, let me help y☼u with all the grist!
RO: half halfs fair right?
RO: CIRRIN RUNFAR wonders if CIRRIN RUNFAR goes up an echeladder for this
-- recreantOctopus [RO]  looks up expecting some sort of gaming abstraction --
NM: Yup, I think that sh☼uld w☼rk ☼ut fine!
-- nitroMerc [NM]  looks up with him, a little confused. --
NM: ... I d☼n't think y☼u'll find a ladder up there.
RO: oh just force of habit
RO: the flapstractions from flarp used hove above you like that
-- recreantOctopus [RO]  goes to gather the sweet loot! --
NM: Um... ☼kay!
-- nitroMerc [NM]  helps to gather the loot! --
RO: hey if you were better at throwing those things we should totally do something like this again
NM: Well... I guess! Sure, why n☼t!
NM: Th☼ugh the n☼ises th☼se things make kinda give me a headache, ha ha.
RO: a headache?
-- recreantOctopus [RO]  looks hopefull, by pure reflex --
NM: Yeah. They're waaaaaay t☼☼ l☼ud f☼r me!
RO: wow that does sound weird for you
NM: ... it d☼es?
RO: like why would you be carrying all those bombs in the first place if you thought they were too loud?
NM: That's... a g☼☼d questi☼n, actually.
-- nitroMerc [NM]  frowns. --
NM: I d☼n't kn☼w. It'll pr☼bably c☼me back t☼ me later. D☼n't want t☼ think t☼☼ much ab☼ut it n☼w.
-- recreantOctopus [RO]  frowns deeper --
RO: well fine but you probablly should at some point
RO: and CIRRIN RUNFAR doesnt usually say over thinking things is a good idea
NM: D☼n't w☼rry! I'm sure I'll remember everythin' in due time!
NM: It's n☼t a big pr☼blem, n☼t when I have friends like y☼u ar☼und!
RO: well hopefully you will remember
RO: if you can then anyone can
NM: Yup!
NM: G☼☼d things c☼me t☼ th☼se wh☼ wait and all!
-- recreantOctopus [RO]  shrugs --
RO: that sounds like some of the fluff the consorts says
RO: less speed more haste or something like that
NM: Well, I'm just sayin' what I think ab☼ut it.
NM: Anyway, I h☼pe y☼u aren't planning t☼ be chased by ☼gres again.
RO: only if youve got CIRRIN RUNFARs back
-- nitroMerc [NM]  grins. --
NM: ☼f c☼urse I d☼! What kinda stupid questi☼n is that?
RO: so what if you made a huge pile of explosives and burried them...
NM: ... um, sure?
NM: Why?
RO: that way CIRRIN RUNFAR knows exactly where to lead the mobs
NM: ☼h! G☼tcha!
NM: Let me get right ☼n that!
NM: Maybe I have s☼me mines...
RO: CIRRIN RUNFAR probablly has some better lures...
NM: ☼kay! Y☼u get the m☼nsters, I'll get the expl☼sives ready.
NM: Just be careful, all right?
RO: hey dont worry
RO: CIRRIN RUNFARs done this before
-- recreantOctopus [RO]  winks and runs off --
-- nitroMerc [NM]  smiles and starts digging. --
