Alarke
02-20-2005, 10:01 PM
So last night Michaelous said he'd pay 10k for "a spell or two." Alarke not getting along with him webbed him and interdicted him and asked for the 10k. He obviously refused and people on the dais got a chuckle since he was being his usual ass self and we went on our seperate ways. Tonight I was resting on the dais again and the following happened. I'm still laughing my ass off so I thought someone may appreciate it.
Michaelous says, "10k to whoever spells me up."
You say, "You still owe me 10k."
You nod to Michaelous.
Michaelous raises an eyebrow in your direction.
Speaking to you, Michaelous asks, "For what?"
Speaking to Michaelous, you say, "You never paid me last time I gave you two spells."
Speaking to Michaelous, you say, "You said you'd pay 10k for a spell or two."
Speaking to you, Michaelous says, "Ok spell me up again and ill give you your 10k."
Speaking to Michaelous, you say, "No.. you owe me 10k already, 20k for a spellup."
Speaking to you, Michaelous says, "I never asked you for a spell or two, i asked you for a raise i ebelive."
Michaelous says, "Besides i always pay."
You say, "No no.. you asked for a spell or two."
Michaelous asks, "Then why didnt you ask for the 10k then?"
You say, "I webbed and interdicted you and you didnt pay me."
Michaelous says, "Oh well you broke the contract with the web."
Michaelous says, "Deals off."
Michaelous says, "Sorry man, webbing doesnt count as a spell to be paid for."
A passing barrister notes, "If you didn't specify the spells, in my legal opinion, you owe ten thousand coins."
Suddenly, a pair of lawmen come striding in. They wrestle Michaelous to the ground and drag him off, muttering something about the stocks!
So after a couple of minutes I walk to the stocks to see how bad he was fined, and there was a group of onlookers trying to pay the official to hang him:
A city official says, "Ok, the votes have it, you need to pay the 10000 or we have you hanged to."
Michaelous says, "Ok ill pay."
Speaking to a city official, you say, "And the interest for making me wait a day.."
A city official says, "Dun push your luck, heathen."
A city official says, "Ok, lets see, 200,000, and we can have him hanged or tarred , and then pay Alarke his 10,000."
A city official says, "Ok, seems hanging the prefered method. So we sentance you to be hanged by the neck, until dead."
The city official says, "Well, Michaelous, I hope you've learned your lesson now. You may go." With that, the official walks over to Michaelous and sets him free.
Suddenly, a large group of cudgel-waving townsmen come barreling in. They grab Michaelous tightly, lest he might escape. They start to chant about hanging Michaelous!
A city official drags in a makeshift gallows that looks rather rickety. As the official makes sure everything is in order, the townsmen holding Michaelous throw him roughly to the ground. They quickly tie his arms and legs together with stout rope.
Michaelous yells, "Help!"
Michaelous says, "Alarke help me."
Michaelous yells, "Someone do something!"
A soft looking town official steps forward and says, "Michaelous, you have been found guilty of a number of crimes in our fine city. To demonstrate that your actions are intolerable, and your kind are not welcome here, you will hang for your crimes. Though no doubt a cleric will come to your service, know that you are no longer welcome here. If you've anything to say before sentence is carried out, say it now."
Michaelous yells, "You may have my body, but you will never have my soul!"
A soft looking town official says, "Very well. Let the sentence be carried out." The official nods to a burly guard, who reaches for a rope that is attached to the gallows' false floor.
A burly guard pulls hard on a rope that is attached to the gallows' false floor. The false floor drops away, and Michaelous falls quickly through it. Just before the fall comes to an end, you see Michaelous's neck snap like a twig!
Michaelous's body sways back and forth for a bit.
* Michaelous drops dead at your feet!
After a few minutes I located him to collect my silver and the following occured. (yes I KNOW im an ass for actually going through and getting the 10k, but I had to be consistant! and it was fun to follow through anyway).

Silken threads of a gigantic spiderweb completely ensconce the far right wall of this chamber. Some rusted, augmented chain mail armor and a visored helm, as well as the bones of various creatures, rest underneath this silent deathtrap. Huge, beady red eyes stare out from an orifice directly above the spiderweb. You also see a kiramon worker that appears stunned.

Michaelous says, "Dont kill me."
You say, "Im not."
You say, "I just fogged in for my silver."
Michaelous says, "Man i dont owe you anything."
Michaelous says, "I dont pay for negative spells."
You say, "Pay or you go back to the stocks of course."
Michaelous asks, "Are you serious?"
You nod to Michaelous.
You say, "Quite."
Michaelous says, "I was hanged already."
You say, "Shame too."
You exclaim, "Doesnt mean you dont pay me what you went to the stocks for!"
Michaelous whispers, "Are you khaladon?"
Michaelous says, "Yes the official said, ethier he pays or he gets hanged."
You say, "Fraid you owe me 10k still, and the official will agree with me."
Michaelous bellows a guttural series of oaths.

Michaelous grumbles.

Michaelous flails his arms about.
Michaelous says, "Fine spell me up again with the 10k at least."
You say, "You just got spelled up for free."
Speaking to you, Michaelous says, "That has nothing to do with us."
Speaking to Michaelous, you say, "No, but you owing me 10k does."
Speaking to Michaelous, you say, "Pay me or go back to the stocks, i dont see the difficulty."
Michaelous says, "Fine."

[Ta'Illistim, Hanging Gardens]
Although the floating platform is suspended well above the ground below, it overflows with abundant plant life. The edges of the dais are brimming with delicate white queen's lace, dark lavender, fragrant rosemary and a variety of other colorful flora. Thick grass underfoot provides an enticingly peaceful resting spot. A thin silk canopy is rolled back to permit an unobstructed view of the starry night sky. You also see a plate of mint garnished lamb, the Idris disk, a polished silver cart with some stuff on it, the Elegance disk, the Malevilence disk, a dusky woodchuck that is sleeping, a mountain greatfang, the Laccon disk, a long thin taper, some manna bread, a pair of satin shoes, a richly finished wooden bench with some stuff on it, a large faenor-chased barrel and a glaesine arch.
