Haha, yeah. I don't want them to explore the Memory Caverns yet, it would ruin my plan for a future chapter. And I really have no idea what to do with the binis.

Chapter 13: Return to Eastern Isle

The party have finished their business in Aveyond. During the way back to the Eastern Isle.

Northern Isle

Rhen: Brrr, damn blizzard.
Lars: I suppose it would be best to rest at that cave.

Inside the cave

Rhen: Whew, we're saved. Guess we'll be staying the night here today.
Talia: You [beep] can't even resist a [beep] blizzard??
Rhen: Easy for you to say.
Voice: Help! Help!
Rhen: What's that?!
Voice: Help me! I'm stuck under the boulders!
Talia: Bleh, none of our [beep] business! Get the [beep] out yourself!
Rhen: ...
Lars: ...
Talia: What [beep] are you [beep] looking at??
Rhen: Aren't priestesses supposed to be eager to help?
Talia: Meh, helping people is so out of trend.
Rhen: Whatever. I'll just help him. When you help people, they'll give you a reward, that's the golden rule in any RPGs.
Lars: Anyway, let us see where the vice is coming.
Dwarf: Help, get me out of here!
Rhen: Fine. *lifts the boulder*
Dwarf: Thanks. Oh, and the cave's gonna crumble soon. Bye. *leaves*
Rhen: Wait! Where's our reward? And we need to get outta here ASAP!!

The cave crumbles.

Outside

Rhen: So we helped him for NOTHING and we need to travel again in this freezing blizzard?
Talia: HAHAHAHA!!! What did I tell you??
Rhen: Ugh.

Thornkeep

Dwarf: Thanks for before. Here's your reward. *hands out a Gnome Orb*
Rhen: HAHAHAHA!!! What did I tell you??
Talia: SHUT [beep] UP!!
Lars: Let us just stay at the inn.

They spent the night at Thornkeep. The next day, the party travelled back to Eastern Isle.

Veldarah

Rhen: What do we do now?
Lars: Graduate?
Rhen: How?
Lars: My memory told me that we must do a good deed.
Rhen: I know! Let's capture a thief from robbing the shops! Talia, you'll play the thief! Sneak away at one shop at night and we'll capture you! That way, we can do a good deed!
Lars: Idea rejected. It does not qualify the international standard of RPG school graduation.
Talia: WHY SHOULD I BE THE [beep] THIEF??
Rhen: Fine. Scratch that, let's look for other ideas.
Citizen: Hey, a mystical hind has been turning people to stone.
Rhen: I got it! Let's kill the hind.
Lars: Good idea.
Talia: A decent idea from a kid like you.
Rhen: It's settled then, we're going to kill the hind!

Lawl, no rewards. Bleeeeaaaah

Guys, I'll be having a holiday tomorrow for around one-week. So, I won't be able to update for a while.

Me too. I get it till monday

lol - I love the idea of "international standard of RPG school graduation" - after all, who makes up these rules anyway?

holiday? off of school?!?!?! btw the posts are hilarious, I love them!

Loving the posts!!!! Great imagination!

Loved it! Eagerly awaiting the next update.

I'm back! Along with a new chapter! And finally I can get rid of Talia. It's not fun creating a character like her in an anti-swearing forum like this one. Elini and Devin are in this one, too.

Chapter 14: Through the Wild Forest

Last chapter

Rhen: It's settled then, we're going to kill the hind!

Now

Lars: May you give me an input as why we are going shopping?
Rhen: Everybody needs to have fun before an annoying test <3
Lars: I am not having fun.
Rhen: Oh, well. NONE OF MY BUSINESS! HAHAHAHA! Oh, shopkeeper, how much is this mirror?
Shopkeeper: 200 Gold.
Rhen: What, that's a ripoff!
Shopkeeper: Buy or don't buy.
Rhen: Fine!...Wait. Is it just me or have this happened before?
Shopkeeper: Probably.
Rhen: But it's different now. I have the MONEY! Now gimme the mirror.
Shopkeeper: How about this birdcage?
Rhen: I don't need any birdcage.
Talia: I'll buy it. *hands out a bag of money*
Rhen: Talia, where did you get that mo-, wait, that's MINE.
Talia: Just shut [beep] up. This thing will be handy. Respect your senior, [beep] kid!
Rhen: Senior?
Talia: Blah! You [beep] kids don't know anything! I was a main character before!
Lars: Time has passed, and now you are a useless NPC.
Talia: WHADDAYA SAY, [BEEP] ROBOT??

After finishing the shopping, the group headed south. Now they're entering the Wildwoods, the woods which is, uhh, wild. The creators need more creative name.

Rhen: Hmmm, what's this crystal thingie?
Lars: It is a save point. You can save the game here.
Rhen: But we can already save anywhere anytime we want. What's this thing for then?
Lars: ...You have just brought up a good point there. Hmmm, I detect a person nearby.
Rhen: *approaches* Hey, what are you doing?
Elini: Ohh, what cute kids you are. I am waiting for companions through the Wildwoods.
Rhen: Why don't you travel with us?
Elini: No,no,no. I cannot travel with students. How could I know if you are strong enough. What if my newly polished nails got broken?
Rhen: Okay, so we just need to graduate, right?
Elini: Maybe.

In the Wildwoods

Rhen: Errr, Lars, where are we now?
Lars: Detecting. Detecting. Signal not found.
Rhen: *sigh* I guess we're lost.
Lars: Detecting. Detecting. A house detected.
Rhen: We better go there.

Hermit's House

Rhen: Excuse me.
Devin: Come in.
Talia: W-w-w-wait?? Devin??
Devin: Yes, and *gasp* T-T-Talia??
Talia: It's really you?
Devin: Talia..

Soft musics began playing. Talia and Devin run closer to each other.

Devin: *slow motion* Taaaaaaaaliiiiiiiiaaaaaa
Talia: *slow motion* Deeeeeeviiiiiiiiin
Devin: *slow motion* Taaaaaaliii- *SLAP!* Ouch!
Talia: WHERE IN THE [BEEP] HAVE YOU BEEN ALL THESE [BEEP] TIMES??
Devin: Umm..staying here?
Talia: THAT'S NOT THE [BEEP] POINT!! Wait, I've got an idea. Come with me to the Sun Shrine!
Devin: What for?
Talia: You'd make a perfect companion listening to that [beep] old lady's blabberings.
Devin: What? That's your job, not mine!
Talia: I suffer, you suffer. MWAHAHAHAHA! Now let's go! *drags Devin out*
Rhen: ...
Lars: ...
Rhen: ...Finally, we're freed of her.
Lars: I have never felt this relieved before.

lol - too bad we can't actually hear the music! I love the Devin/Talia reunion.

Yeah, I intended those to be that dramatic reunion scene. It would appear again, although it'sstill a long while.

lol! Did you get the idea from the chat?

Ryo: KIRRO-CHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN~!! *runs in slow motion in a field of flowers*
Kirroha: RYO-KUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUNN~~~!! *runs in slow mo*

Chapter 15: Party And The Beauty of the Hind


After parting with Talia, much to their relief, the apprentice Sword Singer and Sorcerer continue their journey in the wild Wildwoods. After some time, they enetered a tavern, which obviously is named Wildwoods Tavern.

Wildwoods Tavern

Rhen: What a happy day! That annoying priestess finally left us!
Lars: It is joyful indeed. However I am worried if they are not lost.
Rhen: Meh, who cares. I pity that man whom she dragged. He must be suffering.

Somewhere

Talia: ARRRGGHHH!! Where the hell is the exit??
Devin: If I remember correctly, it is to the north then the east, and-
Talia: WHY DO YOU REMEMBER? IT MAKES ME LOOK STUPID! GRRAAHH!! *strangles Devin*
Devin : *strangled* Ugghhh, wha...what's my fault...?

Back to Rhen

Rhen: Anyhow, do you know what time is it?
Lars: It is 38 minutes past 7 in the evening.
Rhen: Not that! I mean, it's time for PARTYYYY to celebrate her leaving! Owner, 2 glass of beer!
Tavern Owner: Here it is.
Lars: We are still underage, you know.
Rhen: Ah, who cares? *gulps* Here, try this! *forces Lars to drink*
Lars: *drinks* AH, but-I *gulp* hics~
Rhen: See ~hic~...isn't it...~hic~ good...? Owner, MORE!* gulps*
Lars: Normal mode disabled. Activating PARTEHH MODE!!! *gulps*
Rhen: Oww yaeh! Come on, Larsie ~hic~

Next morning

Rhen: *wakes up* Uhh, my head's spinning.
Lars: *wakes up* Bzzt. Bzzt.
Rhen: Hey, you alright? Uhh, I'm dizzy.
Owner: Ahem.
Rhen: What is it?
Owner: *shows Rhen a paper*
Rhen: Oh yeah, the bill. It's one..two..OMG THREE THOUSAND GOLD???? That's highway robbery! We don't have enough money!!
Owner: Then go clean the dishes.
Rhen: Do we hafta?
Owner: Yes, or I'll call the guards and throw you to jail.
Rhen: Ugh, fine.

After a whole day of cleaning dishes

Rhen: Ewww, there's still something on my hand!
Lars: Now what did I say about drinking alcohol?
Rhen: Whatever! Now to go find the hind!
Lars: Look, there is a stone statue on my field of vision.
Rhen: Yeah, yeah. Why does that matter?
Lars: Because the hind has been turning people to stone?
Rhen: Oh yeah. Hey! There's one more!
Lars: There are many of them! Wait, have my hearing sensor detected something?
Rhen: Huh? Oh, I hear it, too.
Lars: Let us try to find the source.
Rhen: I think it's coming from that cave...
Voice: TRALALALALA!!! LALILALILALULULELO!!!
Rhen: My ears! They burn!
Lars: VIRUS INFECTION. VIRUS INFECTION.
Voice: TRILALELOLALA!!
Rhen: Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, my EARS!!
Lars: Let's plug our ears with the beeswax!
Rhen: Good idea! *plugs ears* hahh, hahh, finally...
Lars: Let us confront what is inside the cave.
Rhen: Yup.

Inside the cave

Hind: TRULULULU TRILILILILI
Rhen: Stop singing! Your voice is awful!
Hind: That's nonsense! My voice is very beautiful! As beautiful as my face which is so beautiful that people who looks at it turns to stone.
Lars: Then the conclusion is that you are an ugly singer with voice and face so ugly that it freezes people.
Hind: WHAT? How dare you! Now, observe my beauty!
Rhen: Ahhh, she's so ugly! Here, look at your own ugliness! *shows the mirror*
Hind: NOOO! That ugly face can't be me! *turns to stone*
Rhen: She's dead. So, does that mean we did it?
Lars: I say so.
Rhen: Yayy! We did it!

*songs began playing and Rhen starts to dance*

Rhen: We did it! We did it! We did it! Hooray!
Lars: We did it!
Rhen: We traveled through the Wildwoods!
Lars: We got rid of the priestess!
Rhen: And we killed the hind!
R & L : WE DID IT!

*song stop*

Rhen: Well, now that we've killed her, what's next.
Lars: Let us take the harp and show it to Master Harald.
Rhen: Good idea.



Anyone got the dance reference?

LOL!

The dance reference is from Dora, isn't it? I still remember that show from when I was in kindergarten.

I've been reading this story, and it's really funny. Eagerly waiting for the next update.


Anyways,
I love how the hind turns to stone at her own ugliness. XD

Yup! It's from Dora the Explorer

I got the hind idea from Greek myth. You know, the snake-haired woman, Medusa? The one that can turn people to stone. In the original myth, she doesn't turn people to stone because she has magical power, but simply because she's just really really ugly. In modern culture, usually it's changed to some sort of eye-beam attack. Of course, in a video game, it's not fun to get your character killed just because you see the monster.
