ST During one of the few lulls in their adventures, Myrrh decides, upon urging from a certain old friend, that it is time he rendered payment to the demon-blooded Wyld-spawn that helped him survive his expedition into the Eastern Tomb all that time ago. That payment being the rescue of the creature's family from Malfeas where they, and their entire race, are held as pets and slaves by the demons.
Myrrh "Now the problem is going to be just walking around, since they aren't too fond of anyone who isn't a demon in there. However i think I have a solution!"
Myrrh Myrrh has of course been rambling about going to MALFEAS of all places, as usual when he gets this way he hasn't told you WHY he would want to go.
Corve eyes his friend, and reaches out, stopping Myrrh with a carefully places hand on his shoulder. "...repeat to me why we're doing this?" Repeat, as if Myrrh had said so at all.
Myrrh "We might have to pleasure a few Nemo- oh. Well remember when I went on a trip east after I exalted? Well...I picked up a little something over there in that manse while I was trying to get my tomb open. I traded bodies with a demon and i've owed him a favor for awhile." He pats his stomach a moment. "And now that we've got some free time I figured I always wanted to see a bizzare green sun."
Myrrh "Oh...and...uh..well he wants us to save his monkey family."
Corve blinks at his friend. "You traded bodies? With a demon?" Corve raises his brows a little bit. "I hope that doesn't mean what it exactly sounds like."
Myrrh "Oh I've traded back long ago. It was a short term deal. And besides he's been happy with the salads i've been eatting lately. But since I did promise him..."
Corve shakes his head a little. "Right, so you... want to go... to Malfeas... and save some demons that are friends of this thing in your gut?"
Myrrh "Family really. I'd show him to you but it's a bit uncomfortable."
Myrrh "I mean who doesn't love baby six armed ape monkeys?
ST The Gut Ape in Myrrh's belly seems happy, at least as far as Myrrh can gather. It's been anxious for him to venture to Malfeas and free its family for some time.
Corve eyes his friend with a bit of skepticism. "... how long is this going to take? I mean, we're in a bit of a hurry. Need to be able to take off whenever we get the chance..." But at least he seems willing.
Myrrh "Oh it shouldn't take too long. I mean it's dimensional trouble so we might not even be missed while we're gone!"
Corve coughs, "Right." His tone, however, say, 'whatever'. He doesn't really understand all that much about all this cross-dimensional stuff, after all. He just shoots things. "All right, so what do we do?"
Myrrh "We summon up a demon who will transport us to Malfeas. However since if we arrived as is we'd probably be ripped limb from limb I have developed a cunning plan! Wearing this amulets we'll be disguised as Asuras. Not really worthy of attention near our "owner" and we can assume that we won't be horribly mutliated for fun."
