HF 025 Rune with Tome

[9/2/16, 10:00:00 PM] Josh: You feel your consciousness pass into the mirror and you are in the library.  You bounce around the massive labyrinth of bookshelves, and eventually find a figure...wrapped in webbing...and stuck to the walls of a bookshelf.  It wriggles and writhes and is alive, but clearly very scared.  You hear clamoring around him and muttering voices.

[9/2/16, 10:02:29 PM] Josh: You find yourself in front of the guy in the webs.

[9/2/16, 10:02:53 PM] Rune: Rune looks around to see where he is!

[9/2/16, 10:02:54 PM] Josh: The guy looks at you very confused.

[9/2/16, 10:03:02 PM] Rune: Rune tries to cut him out!

[9/2/16, 10:03:22 PM] Josh: The webbing cuts away.

[9/2/16, 10:03:48 PM] Rune: Tome? I'm Rune. I'm here to help? I think. What happened?

[9/2/16, 10:04:29 PM] Josh: Tome: "Hi, yeah.  Um...well...I got lost again.  And, while I was looking for a way out...sh...I think they're coming back.

[9/2/16, 10:04:49 PM] Rune: Rune nods.

[9/2/16, 10:04:59 PM] Rune: Rune goes quiet!

[9/2/16, 10:06:45 PM] Josh: As you go stealth behind a bookshelf you see a large figure pass by.  It is similar to the stitch wolf monster and Dodger's stitch fox form...but this one is a stitch pig man.

[9/2/16, 10:07:17 PM] Josh: He sniffs around a few times and then looks at Tome.  "Sum'body come through 'ere?"

[9/2/16, 10:07:40 PM] Rune: Rune tries to stay quiet!

[9/2/16, 10:07:42 PM] Josh: Tome: "...no?"

[9/2/16, 10:07:57 PM] Josh: The pig monster squints at him.  "Was that hand always free?"

[9/2/16, 10:08:02 PM] Josh: Tome: "...yes?"

[9/2/16, 10:08:15 PM] Josh: Pig-Man: "...Ok then, bye bye.  Eat you later."

[9/2/16, 10:08:24 PM] Josh: The Pig-Man wanders off, cause his rolls suck.

[9/2/16, 10:09:00 PM] Josh: Tome: "Cut me down.  Cut me down!"

[9/2/16, 10:09:09 PM] Rune: Rune does.

[9/2/16, 10:09:16 PM] Josh: Tome is free.

[9/2/16, 10:09:32 PM] Rune: Now how do we get back?

[9/2/16, 10:10:23 PM] Josh: Tome: "Well it's uh...it's just over...you know, this is exactly how it happened the last time.  Just wandering around and then...no idea where I was any--Bad time for this.  Let's see if we can find a section listing."

[9/2/16, 10:11:03 PM] Josh: Tome: "...how'd you find me?"

[9/2/16, 10:12:10 PM] Rune: I scried for you. But if I do that I think I might get drawn back to where my friends are--and then you'd get left behind alone.

[9/2/16, 10:12:43 PM] Josh: Tome: "...That would be bad and..."

[9/2/16, 10:12:53 PM] Rune: Oh, how stupid of me. Hang on.

[9/2/16, 10:13:02 PM] Josh: The bookshelves around you start to creak and groan as they move.

[9/2/16, 10:13:19 PM] Rune: ... or we can just... wait...

[9/2/16, 10:13:29 PM] Rune: Rune sticks with Tome!

[9/2/16, 10:13:38 PM] Josh: Tome: "Wait, what were you gonna do?"

[9/2/16, 10:13:51 PM] Josh: The shelves stop, and seem to now form a path.

[9/2/16, 10:14:04 PM] Rune: I was going to cast flying on us, but we might not need to. Let's go this way first.

[9/2/16, 10:14:08 PM] Rune: Do you know Taeral?

[9/2/16, 10:14:35 PM] Josh: Taeral: "No idea what any of this is."

[9/2/16, 10:14:57 PM] Rune: Oh, I was asking Tome if he knew you.

[9/2/16, 10:15:39 PM] Josh: Tome: "Oh, Taeral.  I remember you.  You were dating the asshole."

[9/2/16, 10:15:52 PM] Josh: Taeral: "Yes, thank you for the reminder, Tome."

[9/2/16, 10:16:32 PM] Rune: It's not his fault, sociopaths can be very persuasive.
