ed3evilgm: you spend 3 days sitting in a cell that more closely resembles an empty office with a cot and a large (shatterproof) window overlooking the slave holding pens. You were tossed in with the words "take some time to consider your future" and then left there to watch slaves being bought and sold like cattle
ed3evilgm: At the end of the three days a troop of guards come in and the leader asks "Are you prepared to behave like a civilized being, or would you rather be something less." he gestures towards the window
Neo: *sneers* "I can assume your master isn’t going to just let me walk out of here"
Neo: "I will behave, but what is it going to cost me?"
ed3evilgm: "It will cost you a bit of your time, to listen to what he says. In return you will be offered the opportunity to receive a full pardon for your crimes. My master has asked me to assure you that you will not be asked in any way to betray your comrades, he has... more important concerns than a minor slave revolt."
Neo: *with a wide sarcastic smile*"lead the way"
ed3evilgm: they lead you to a large hover vehicle where you are offered refreshments by attractive female slaves wearing elaborate gold collars with short gold chains dangling from them. you are treated for the short flight like a VIP rather than a prisoner being transported, and during the flight they see that you are bathed and given clean clothes (rich clothing but suitable to your sense of style) you are offered rich food, wine, and a massage (or anything else a man in prison might want from beautiful women.)
Neo: *takes only what’s forced on him, well the bath he takes freely all else he pushes off or only takes enough to shut them up*
ed3evilgm: they are eager to please but not insistent about anything other than the bath and fresh clothes.
ed3evilgm: after a little while the hovercraft sets down in a courtyard in the personal home of Splyncryth
ed3evilgm: Waiting for you outside the hovercraft is an elderly man (human) in rich robes wearing a collar exactly like that of the women who bathed you, except his chain is so long that he has a slave accompanying him to carry it coiled up on his arm. You remember hearing somewhere that in Splyn's household the length of a slave's chain is a symbol of their rank.
Neo: "Are you my guide?"
ed3evilgm: "I am to take you to his lordship."
Neo: "lets get this over with"
ed3evilgm: He nods and leads you into the house, you see various house slaves going about their tasks. They seem to be afraid, but it takes you a moment to realize that what they are afraid of is you.
ed3evilgm: (need to reboot)
Neo: k
Neo: "What has everyone so scared?"
ed3evilgm: the old man raises an eyebrow at you "you are a violent savage, they fear you may try to harm them."
Neo: "ahuh, I had no idea"*looks at one of the slaves then back to the guide*"I suppose if told them that they are wrong they wouldn’t believe me"
Neo: *shakes his head* "how much further?"
ed3evilgm: "Just through here." He leads you through a door and into a large steamy room. Most of the room is filled by a huge bubbling pool of steaming water in the center of which you see a large eye floating just above the surface. The eye blinks at you and you get a vague impression that it's readjusting of its surrounding spines might be the sploogorth equivalent of an amused smile.
Neo: "I was told you wanted something from me?"
ed3evilgm: "Yes. I have a proposition for you." to your surprise he has a spoken voice that emanates from one of his mouth tentacles, and it sounds pleasant and cultured, like a wealthy and charismatic businessman.
Neo: *looks from the eye to the mouth and back, unsure about which he should pay attention to*
ed3evilgm: "I want to offer you a full pardon. In exchange I would like you to take a representative of mine to certain parties I would like you to assist these parties in their activities and give full access as much as is reasonably possible to my representative so that this person can be my eyes and ears and promote my interests."
Neo: "Will your representative he forthcoming on who they are representing?"
ed3evilgm: "My representative will represent me. I have several servants who can perform this function, you may have your choice male or female, the selection of races is somewhat limited I can provide a human if you like."
Neo: "Wont me being a violent savage limit my selection?"*crosses his arms*
ed3evilgm: "They will do as they're told"
Neo: "Who are my choices?"
ed3evilgm: "Why don't you begin by telling me what you would prefer"
Neo: "My Mother"
ed3evilgm: "She's not available however I can provide any other human female of similar age if you require that."
ed3evilgm: He seems to have taken the suggestion seriously
Neo: He was serious "Why isn’t she available?"
ed3evilgm: "Why would she be?"
Neo: "You or your man here"*points a thumb at the slave with the chain*"Can pick who you want, if you can just tell me where she is"
ed3evilgm: "You are assuming a great deal, first you are assuming that I know, second you are assuming that I care, third you are assuming that I have her. Sadly all of your assumptions are probably false."
ed3evilgm: "However if you perform well and the party in question succeeds at their task with you were aid, then it is very likely that I shall be inspired to see that your assumption was become accurate truth."
Neo: *nods*" Alright, then"
Neo: *turns to the slave with the chain* "If you were in my position who would you choose?"
ed3evilgm: "Someone who does not look like a spy for the Sploogorth."
Neo: *sighs* "Can I take him with me and pick someone out?"
Neo: *shakes his head* "Hell, give me a human, young, late teens, male or female"
ed3evilgm: The Eyeball seems to nod "do you have a preference for gender?"
Neo: "no one is as good as the other"*sighs*
ed3evilgm: "very well, now for your assignment. The group I am sending you to join our attempting to stop a group of oh I believe the word is humans supremacists, from starting a war the intent of the war to annihilate all nonhuman life. As you might imagine, I have a vested interest in seeing this war does not happen."
Neo: "We hu- "*sighs* "humans can be a nuisance sometimes"
Neo: "Have they given a reason for this attitude?"
ed3evilgm: "The matter is more complicated than you think" he sighs heavily, "the beings in question or starting the war, are not human precisely, they are race that call themselves the children of the forge, and their motives and gender role behavior however make them seem more children of the one."
Neo: "The one?"
ed3evilgm: That should be “general behavior"
ed3evilgm: Playing with Dragon naturally, it occasionally gets weird
Neo: lol
ed3evilgm: "You are not familiar with the legends of the cosmic forge?"
Neo: "vaguely"
ed3evilgm: "The one is the single member of the first race who seized control of the forge and destroy all other members of his kind."
Neo: *nods*
Neo: "how soon do we leave?"
ed3evilgm: "As soon as you feel ready." he motions with a tentacle, a door opens and in walks a slave pushing a tray, on the tray you recognize your equipment including your weapons. "I believe these are yours, let me know if anything is missing."
ed3evilgm: Everything is there
Neo: "What are the chances of getting a rune weapon?"
ed3evilgm: "We will gladly sell you anything that you wish to purchase"
Neo: *laughs*"I’m ready to go now"
ed3evilgm: The mouth tentacle twitches "don't worry the group I'm sending few is notoriously wealthy and very well-equipped" he chuckles "I'm sure you will get your Rune sword soon enough."
ed3evilgm: At the end of the three days a troop of guards come in and the leader asks "Are you prepared to behave like a civilized being, or would you rather be something less." he gestures towards the window
