Faerzen leaves the Library and stifes

<Samstrel> You don't see any monsters in your immediate area. There may be some around, but you'd have to search.
* Faerzen_Norstov searches in the nearby vicinity of the library, not wanting to leave anything threatening with his mother while he is gone
<Samstrel> You don't see anything.
* Faerzen_Norstov ensures that Abyss and Regent are well-secured before following the waterfall back up to above the darkness, steeling himself for a lengthy flight
<Samstrel> They are secured.
<Faerzen_Norstov> ==>
<Samstrel> You begin to fly up the waterfall and land on the nearest platform.
* Faerzen_Norstov admires the serene garden here before orienting himself
* Faerzen_Norstov snaps a couple of pictures on his e-glasses, before looking at The Ring
* Faerzen_Norstov double checks the direction of the center of The Ring with respect to the distance his house is, recording the angle between then, before flying off towards home
* Faerzen_Norstov begins a stopwatch to time his journey home
<Samstrel> Before you can do so, something comes out of the ring.
<Faerzen_Norstov> ((what do you mean "out of The Ring"?))
<Samstrel> ((it appears out of the light, in an area you didn't expect))
* Faerzen_Norstov raises an eyebrow, turning to look at whatever it might be that appeared out of one of the light bulbs
<Samstrel> It's a creature that looks like the ones helping your mom.
* Faerzen_Norstov stands there, looking puzzled and slightly annoyed
<Faerzen_Norstov> "Yes? What is it?"
<Samstrel> It comes closer to you, not recognizing you.
<Faerzen_Norstov> "I would appreciate you make your purpose known and accomplish it expeditiously as I do have quite a number of things to tend to. What do you want?"
<Samstrel> It floats at you quite quickly.
* Faerzen_Norstov pulls out his crossbow, and glaring at the creature
<Faerzen_Norstov> "State your intent immediately! I have quite an arsenal of force at my disposal, and as some of your associates can testify, it is more than capable of easily annihilating creatures 10 times your size!"
<Faerzen_Norstov> !roll 1d20+5 Intimidation
<Tyche[Dice]> Faerzen_Norstov rolled : 1d20+5 Intimidation --> [ 1d20=19 ]{24}
<Faerzen_Norstov> ((rolled if applicable))
<Samstrel> It stops in it's tracks
<Faerzen_Norstov> "State your intent!"
<Samstrel> It does not speak.
<Faerzen_Norstov> "Are you associated at all with a particular library?"
<Samstrel> It looks confused.
<Faerzen_Norstov> "Okay then, do you have a message for me?"
<Samstrel> It still looks confused.
<Faerzen_Norstov> "Very well. Was your arrival here with the intent of harming me?"
<Samstrel> It comes at you again
* Faerzen_Norstov reaches inside his dress and flips the switch on, then pointing his crossbow at the creature
<Faerzen_Norstov> "If you decide to approach any closer to my vicinity, I *will* fire this device!"
<Samstrel> It keeps on coming.
<Faerzen_Norstov> "This is your FINAL warning!!!"
* Faerzen_Norstov readies to fire his Overloaded Crossbow
<Samstrel> Still coming.
* Faerzen_Norstov fires

<Samstrel> ((OMG))

<Samstrel> It flies right by, and it keeps coming at you.
* Faerzen_Norstov grumbles quietly
<Faerzen_Norstov> "Next time I shall not be as courteous and I shall aim directly at you! I must insist you halt your trajectory!"
<Samstrel> It keeps on coming and attempts to slash you.
<Samstrel> !roll 1d20+1
<Tyche[Dice]> Samstrel rolled : 1d20+1 --> [ 1d20=14 ]{15}
<Faerzen_Norstov> It misses.
<Samstrel> It runs past you and fails to slash.
* Faerzen_Norstov plants his knee into the ground, steadying his aim at the creature, and carefully following its movements

<Samstrel> It takes the shot and falls to the ground.
* Faerzen_Norstov stands up, walking over near the creature with his teeth clenched tightly
<Faerzen_Norstov> "I *warned* you that it would be unwise to incur my ire."
<Samstrel> It looks and you, and tries to slash again.
<Samstrel> Meddling thing.
<Samstrel> !roll 1d20+1
<Tyche[Dice]> Samstrel rolled : 1d20+1 --> [ 1d20=19 ]{20}

<Faerzen_Norstov> ((yeah the dress shocks the lich))
<Samstrel> ((oh got it, then 2))
<Faerzen_Norstov> 64HP remaining
* Faerzen_Norstov stands still, looking down at the pitiful creature on the ground and aiming his crossbow at it again
<Faerzen_Norstov> "Seriously? That is the best you can do? A paper cut? Once again, I am greatly disappointed. Why bother with going through the trouble of this if it is certain you will fail?"
<Faerzen_Norstov> "The odds are so unbelievably stacked against you, there is hardly any point in even trying."
<Faerzen_Norstov> "And if there is one person who has already calculated the odds, that would be me."
<Faerzen_Norstov> "Wrong choice in a target, foolish creature."
