Alex vs the titanosaur pt 1

roll 1d20+3 stealth
`DICE
Alex_Thresh rolled 1d20+3 stealth [ 1d20=2 ]{5}
Alex_Thresh
Alex feels like she's been 'creeping' on this bush forever; however her distraction on how awesome her awareness is just alerts her to how much fucking noise she is making as she prowls this shrub and tree that was moving. Maybe it was Rex, anyway. Weapon in hand, she is confident.
@Vampsquirrel
You come through the thick growth, and in front of you is a massive spire of wood, poorly nailed together and extending high above you, at its top it spreads out joining what appears to be a massive underbelly also made from poorly constructed wood.
Alex_Thresh
Alex is throughly confused. Unless this is Hitler Imp again. Maybe? She pokes the structure with the long scythe to see how sturdy it is
@Vampsquirrel
You hear a garbled shout come from above you where the spire meets the underbelly, followed by the sounds of scurrying, and the spire lifts out of the ground, bending like a leg before moving past you and crashing into the ground several feet away.
Alex_Thresh
Alex is surprised as she watched what just happened. "The fuck." She exclaims flatly and in a confused tone. She's not encountered anything like this on her planet before.
@Vampsquirrel
Standing in confusion, you hear a crash similar to that the spire made coming from some distance away.
Alex_Thresh
Just how big is this thing? She looks for where the distant noise is. She feels like she's in some kind of shitty sci fi and needs some small teddies to help her defeat some alien force.

Alex_Thresh rolled 1d20+2 [ 1d20=12 ]{14}
@Vampsquirrel
It seemed to come from around 20 yards past the spire you're currently standing at, but you're unable to get an exact number due to the thick foliage blocking you.
You also notice that the spire you're next to has a door leading into it.
next to you*
Alex_Thresh
Alex knocks on the door with a heavy fisted rap. A few times.
@Vampsquirrel
You hear a garbled shout not unlike the one you heard before the spire moved, followed by the sounds of feet scurrying about behind the door.
Alex_Thresh
She waits implatiently; resembling a grim reaper with a billowing cloak, double handed scythe that extruded dark energy and a... Pink flowery helmet in the shape of a skull.
@Vampsquirrel
The scuffling calms down, and the door slowly opens as an imp peers around its edge.
Upon seeing your fearsome visage the imp panics and slams the door shut.
Alex_Thresh
Alex waves and then sighs before trying to boot the door down.
@Vampsquirrel

@Vampsquirrel
Your boot crashes into the poorly made door, and you hear more scurrying within the spire, but you are unable to penetrate it.
Another crash echoes out, this time coming from far behind you.
Alex_Thresh
She huffs and swears to access her syladex, summoning The Three Impskateers from her inventory that she befriended during a dungeon.. "Hey guys. Can you figure out what this is all about?"
→ yzabtech has joined
@Vampsquirrel
The three impskateers look at the spire before all jabbering at once, one making motions with his hands to illustrate great size, another holding his arms close and stomping around like a t-rex or maybe a very strange chicken, and the third just waving its arms around.
Alex_Thresh
Alex looks behind her to the loud noise before. It was just Rex, right? "Oh don't worry about that.."
@Vampsquirrel
You hear a fourth crash from farther away than the three proceeding crashes.
Alex_Thresh
She grunts in annoyance as she captchalogs the three imps, if they are willing before hurrying over to all the racket.
@Vampsquirrel
The imps are willing to be captchalogued and you hurry to the sound of the fourth crash. As you rush through the woods you hear more crashes coming from around you, seemingly at regular intervals. You make it to the sound of the fourth crashing, which is yet another spire, the underbelly extended from the first spire to the one you have just arrived at, but seems to stop after the spire.
Alex_Thresh
(i dont understand what these are. towers basically?)
@Vampsquirrel
((yeah, big towers made from wood going up to an expanse of wood that looks kind of like an underbelly. They're taller than the trees and about four large people could wrap their arms around one and have room to spare. This one has a door as well.)
Alex_Thresh
(so like legs)
Alex knocks on this door harshly, then prepares to charge the door before it is slammed shut.
@Vampsquirrel
Scuffling ensues, and soon an imp is looking around the door's edge.

`DICE
Alex_Thresh rolled 1d20+1 [ 1d20=9 ]{10}
@Vampsquirrel
The imp tries to shut the door but you manage to come crashing through before he can. The imp is knocked to the side as you take in the spire's inside.
Alex_Thresh
Alex has no real interest in the Imp; just what this all is. She checks out the insides and if there's stairs, takes them up.
@Vampsquirrel
The spire's floor is made from a poorly constructed wood, and extending from a hole in the center is a massive bone. A roughly made ramp circles around the bone to the top of the spire. You ignore the imp and a few of his startled comrades to rush up the ramp.
Alex_Thresh
She is starting to feel like this is a dinosaur that has been captured, but she won't rush to conclusions yet. Alex can literally ignore imps unless they attack her.
@Vampsquirrel
As you run up the ramp, you see the bone connects to another bone midway up the spire and the construction of the walls in this area seems to have been designed to allow it to bend like a leg.
@Vampsquirrel
Continuing up, you pass a few more confused imps, but they are so shocked they do little to impede your progress, and eventually you make your way up to the top of the spire.
Alex_Thresh
Alex, now at the top; checks out what she sees. Presumibly she has found one of the back legs or something.
@Vampsquirrel
At the top of the spire is a massive bone surrounded by a complicated wooden contraption. There is a wooden walkway around it, but you can't see around the bone, so you're not sure what's on the other side.
As you're looking you hear a warning siren call out from past the contraption.
Alex_Thresh
She presumes it's kind of like a fort; where an intruder is. Namely her. She doesn't really care. She wonders if there's a joint below her where she could cut off the wood that won't ruin her day.
@Vampsquirrel
The siren continues, as the bone in front of you begins moving, causing the whole spire to begin tilting to the side.
Alex_Thresh
Alex grabs hold of something to steady herself.

@Vampsquirrel
You rapidly grab onto a rope conveniently located on the wall, and are able to hang on to it while the leg tilts to an almost 90 degree angle before returning to its original position with a massive crash.
Alex_Thresh
Alex looks for an exit to get out of the mobile leg area. The wooden walkway right?
@Vampsquirrel
You see the wooden walkway, it leads past the massive wooden contraption, so you're unable to see where it leads, but it does appear to be the only way forward.
Alex_Thresh
She takes that route, of course. She can always sever the neck to disable the whole creature without killing it, afterall.
@Vampsquirrel
You round the wooden contraption and step across a gap to enter a room. The room is mostly empty, poorly made from the rest of the wood that the rest of the creature is. A group of imps are sitting at a table playing a card game, but they stand up aggressively upon seeing you.
Alex_Thresh
She dismisses them with a wave and checks out their hands.
@Vampsquirrel
The imps are taken aback by the dismissal, seemingly having their spirits crushed at being waved off so callously, and sullenly return to playing. You see that one of them has a full house, and then watch him throw the cards at the imp next to him.
Alex_Thresh
She wondered why he threw the hand? Or was he playing it. She didn't really follow card games much. She was gonna mutter about cheating, but she decides she has crushed their dreams of being something to threaten her and continues her exploration of this beast
@Vampsquirrel
You see a doorway leading out of the room towards what you presume is the front of the beast, as well as a long hallway leading towards what you assume is the tail.
Alex_Thresh
Well, ideally she wants to head to the front. The tail is... Well. She wonders why that would be important, but whatever?
@Vampsquirrel
You go through the doorway, and see a long hallway. The left is a slightly curving wall with rib like bones every few yards, and the right side has numerous doorways.
Alex_Thresh
She hums and checks out the first of the doors on the right
@Vampsquirrel
She opens the door and sees an imp wearing a small pink frilly bra and panties. The imp shrieks and attempts to cover itself up.
Alex_Thresh
She just politely closes the door. Must be a bedroom or something. She goes over to the next door and opens that one.
@Vampsquirrel
In the next door she sees a basilisk curled up, sleeping happily. Every breath wafts of smoke are expelled out from its nostrils, escaping through holes in the ceiling.
Alex_Thresh
Hm. This one is actually dangerous. She checks out the room to make sure it has space to fight or some such
@Vampsquirrel
There is enough space for the basilisk to comfortably navigate, so there would be some room for fighting, but the basilisk looks so peaceful.
Alex_Thresh
She doesn't really want to be jumped by this guy later, really. But she leaves it be. Maybe she can lock the door.
@Vampsquirrel
There doorknob looks like it could be locked if she had the key or could pick it.
Alex_Thresh
She doubts any ability in either of these things, so she quietly shuts the door and checks the next one.
@Vampsquirrel
Checking the next door, she finds an empty room containing a pair of bunk beds.
Alex_Thresh
Alex decides to check out the room for any details. If not, moving on!
She wants to find a doorway to the neck / head. Which is presumibly where it is controlled from.
@Vampsquirrel
She looks around and finds a "NEWFAG'S ORIENTATION GUIDE FOR THE TITANOSAUR" laying on the floor.
Alex_Thresh
This.. Seems useful? If offensive. She checks it out.
@Vampsquirrel
it appears to be a small brochure, with colorful writing and an ogre giving a thumbs up on the front.
@Vampsquirrel
Opening it up, it has "useful information" according to the heading, such as meal times, and the times for events such as the pingpong tourney.
On the other side is a map of the building
Alex_Thresh
Oh a map. Handy. Alex uses this to work out how big this whole structure is and if she even needs to destroy it.
→ Archive has joined
@Vampsquirrel
The creature is apparently so large that no one could be bothered to actually measure it, but you can be assured that it is massive.
You are informed of this by a foot note on the corner.
Alex_Thresh
Handy. So she is in the chest section. Is there a control room or do they just make a house out of this beast?
@Vampsquirrel
You don't see a specific control room, but it appears that the room at the beasts head is marked on the map as the master room.
Alex_Thresh
That'll do it. She looks for a route there.
And uses said route.
@Vampsquirrel
She sees a route through the hallway she was just in, that should lead her to the head without taking her through any distractions. She will miss the cafeteria, where, according to the paper, a stirring rendition of Macbeth is taking place.
Alex_Thresh
She will.. Pass on that. She is sure it is amazing, but she wanted to check on the dinosaur. So she heads up to the head.
@Vampsquirrel
You continue down the hallway, and upon rounding the bend at the end, comes face to face with an ogre carrying a large bundle of costumes.
Alex_Thresh
She salutes him. "Sup."
"Macbeth right? You're gonna be late." She thumbs behind her.
@Vampsquirrel
The ogre pauses to look at her, but catches sight of a watch, realizes she is correct, and sprints down the hallway.
Alex_Thresh
She smirks as she continues on unabaded.
@Vampsquirrel
Passing the corner, you come to a grand door that, according to the map, leads to the master room.
Standing on either side of the door is an imp, wielding a spear made from bone.
Alex_Thresh
She approaches the imp and paps the leaflet. "You're missing out on the play, you know?"
@Vampsquirrel
The imp looks at the leaflet, but steels himself, resisting your temptations for the moment.
Alex_Thresh
She notices his resolve. "So hey, do you wanna finish the tour?" She offered with a smile and gestured to the door.
@Vampsquirrel
The imp looks at you in confusion, not quite understanding your meaning.
Alex_Thresh
She tilts her head. "Y'know. The tour? For the inspector?" She gestures to herself. "Didn't you see the memo?"
@Vampsquirrel

Alex is clearly not in uniform like an inspector and carrying around a scythe.

The imp sees through your ruse, and yells something to its companion. The two brandish their spears towards you.

@Vampsquirrel
The imp barely manages to dodge your scythe, and you look a little silly having twirled so much.
Alex_Thresh
Alex never looks silly. She is awesome. Like some kind of anime hero.
@Vampsquirrel
You look silly like an anime hero, comically large sweat drops slide down the imps faces.
Alex_Thresh
Alex expects them to actually do something while she is showing off after recovering from a failed strike
@Vampsquirrel
((It's still your tunr))

Alex_Thresh
(i used my attack. i'm done)
@Vampsquirrel
(alright, in the future please say end when you're done with your turns))
The two imps skirt around you, before jabbing their spears at you from either side.

The imps both miss horribly, and it is your turn to have a comedically large sweat drop.
Your turn.
Alex_Thresh
Alex's twirling did something! Maybe! She didn't even dodge they just kinda.. Missed.. Anyway. She stops with the fanciness and tries to kill the aggressors. Scythe attack! And then done.

You're not sure they can do that, but if they could he'd certainly be doing so.

She is confident he will not tell anyone. She's such a fucking bully. She sizes up the door.
