'welcome to our little group" Stripetail said. 'The more the merrier.." He looked at the blade. there was a name carved into the handle. "Banny Mcsorley.." He muttered..He ran his paw over the blade.. "This sword is pretty old... at least a century old, judging by its make and feel. "Banny Mcsorley is carved into the hilt. "It must have been the owner of this sword at one point.."

"Stripetail, if you wish to keep that sword. I'm sure I can find another weapon to use." Rime said.

"Thank you, I'll hang onto it for the time being. When the storm clears we'll be able to research the blade more clearly, and why it ended up in the hands of a ghost.." Stripetail said. 'I'll need that scabbard you found, to carry it." He added.

Rime handed the scabbard off to Stripetail and went to the utility closet in the back. After a few minutes he came back with a machete and scabbard.

"Well, the machete is almost like a sword, so it'll do." Rime said.

Nick22 · **Reply #644 on:** March 02, 2009, 07:09:29 PM

Stripetail hooked the scabbard to his robes and sheathed thesword. He then put his staff away in the sheath he wore for it acrioss his back.' come on, everyone let's move out! We've got lots of room to cover, and time is precious.."

The Pelvandia group, Ms. Swimmer and Mr. Bigmouth, all with weapons drawn followed Stripetail.

Deimos lit a flare, illuminating everything in an intense white light.

Dr. Kerzach had his switchblade in 1 hand and his flashlight in the other.

Tiger and Scooby followed Stripetail. Going up the stairs, they were met byNick, who was coming down for a second round of Breakfast.
_Were are you guys headed? Nick asked..

The Green Shadow turned on his goggles and followed along with Sara, Brooklyn, Odysseus and Ian/Sam. Odysseus and Sara still had on the rings of light that gave out some light. The Green Shadow didn't need to turn on his wrist computer to put out light with the available light already there he could see will with his goggles various functions he had on like light intensification and infra red, the lenses themselves were already polarized. Brooklyn already had natural night vision and Ian could see pretty well with the light present, and when Sam took over she had better eyesight, though not as good as Brooklyn's for night. Hawkmon flew along beside The Green Shadow.

Cynder yawned loudly and stretched out, she brushed against Spyro's scales and the purple dragon yawned as well. They glanced around the room, finding themselves to be the only ones in it.

"Where is everyone?" Cynder asked. "Did we really sleep that long?"

Spyro glanced at the time. "I think it's still pretty early actually."

"Dixie? Scooby?" Cynder hollared, looking around.

---------------------------

Mikoto had listened to the group's conversation with interest. When Terry had disappeared and then that new figure came back in, he was almost certain that the newcomer wasn't such a newcomer at all. He must have something similiar to the Abare suits to be able to change his clothes so quickly. When the group left, he considerd following since it might be fun, but another idea interrupted this plan.

With this large group going to explore, then that would leave several other people by themselves. The dragons were one such group. He got up and entered the lobby, glancing over at Briggens. "Could you tell me what room the two dragons are in?"

Nick22 · **Reply #649 on:** March 03, 2009, 01:00:21 AM

Why do you ask?' Briggins gave him a look. "I don't give out the rooms my guests stay in sir, its hotel policy, anfd it respects thier privacy. If you want to find them, sir, you'll have to go on your own.
_
Dixie came into the room. "hello, guys! Its about time you woke up. I tried poking you awake, but that didn't work, so I decided to go change. Now come on, Scooby and probably everyone else is already down stairs having breakfast.." She smiled at the two dragons..

Drake · **Reply #650 on:** March 03, 2009, 01:03:18 AM

Threaening the answer out of him, briefly crossed Mikoto's mind, but it might alert the exploration group to his presence if Briggins screamed. He turned and started up the steps, speaking into the Dino Minder. "Topgaler, fly around the hotel and see if you can spot the two dragons, one's purple and the other's black."

----------------------------------

"Good, I'm hungry," Cynder said. "And we didn't get to try enough of this world's food last time we were here."

"Let's hurry, or we might miss everyone," Spyro said.

Nick22 · **Reply #651 on:** March 03, 2009, 01:06:33 AM

Dixie came out as the two dragons climbed out of bed and came up to her.. She opened the door, and held it for them. "So how did you guys sleep ? Well, I hope.."

Drake · **Reply #652 on:** March 03, 2009, 01:15:13 AM

"Fine, thank you," Cynder replied with a smirk.

"Sorry, we didn't get up," Spyro said. "I guess we were more exhausted than we thought."

The two stepped out of the door, Mikoto was meanwhile climbing the stairs to his room...

Nick22 · **Reply #653 on:** March 03, 2009, 01:19:46 AM

Its alright "Dixie smiled. "You guys are up, and Cynder, remember that we're going to that movie today.. well, weather permitting of course.. Spyro, would you like to come with us, or is this just a girl's outing?' She asked Spyro, as she approached the stairs.

"Hey I found something!" Deimos said. He holstered his pistol and was using his flare to examine what looked like the threshold of a door, only it was on a wall.

They were on the 3rd floor.

---------

Up in the 6th floor, Paul had set up his Remington 700 sniper rifle. He looked through the scope and had Deimos's head squarely in his sights.

"Bye bye." he muttered, chuckling coldly.

---------

Rime happened to look up and he noticed the distinct glint of a rifle scope and he figured out it was aimed at Deimos. He pushed Deimos out of the way. The bullet struck Rime in the chest, knocking him to the ground.

Dr. Zanasiu heard the crack of the rifle. "Uh Stripetail, do ghosts use guns?"

Zachary rushed to help Rime. "Rime! You okay?"

Rime coughed, staggered back to his feet and pulled the bullet from his armor and threw it on the ground. "I'm fine, my ribs hurt but I'm fine."

"Thanks Rime. I really owe you." Deimos said, getting back to his feet and picking the still burning flare back up. Luckily, the flare didn't set anything on fire.

Deimos then turned to the party. "Okay, everyone we must be extremely careful; there is a sniper somewhere here. We don't know if it is a ghost or one of the guests."

---------

"Damn it! Paul! I said wait until they're alone!" Ivan said.

"Well, I decided to take one of them out because he was standing still." Paul said.

"Paul, if you had hit him, the whole hotel will be suspicious and we can forget about our mission."

Paul scowled. "Hmph. Maybe, they'll think a ghost shot him."

Ivan chuckled. "Paul, what ghost uses a .300 magnum round and a Remington 700 sniper rifle? Listen, no more attempts at sniping until we learn their patterns and I'm serious too."

Sara goes forward to look at Rime, "Are you sure you are ok?" She asked.

"Maybe I should go first since I can't die." Odysseus said, looking in the direction of where he thought the shot had come from, wishing he had though to ask for a pair of The Tourists special glasses.

"Or at least those with armor." The Green Shadow said and turned on his costume's camouflage functions, even though his had armor in certain areas.

Nick22 · **Reply #656 on:** March 03, 2009, 02:08:51 AM

No, ghosts do not use guns, that was a living creature who fired that!" Stripetail said, lookind at Rime. there was a sizable imprint where the bullet had struck him, if not for the armor, the shot would probably have been fatal. "Whoever it is, is a very good shot with a gun.. be careful everyone..' Stripetail said.

Kor · **Reply #657 on:** March 03, 2009, 02:10:27 AM

"Maybe a spell to distort the light rays, to make everything either a blur to those above, or make them seem to be to the left or right." Sara suggested.

Nick22 · **Reply #658 on:** March 03, 2009, 02:17:31 AM

Good idea" Stripetaiil said. "We should have those with armor and those who can't die surrounding those without armor. Magic doesn't have much effect on bullets" He muttered, "So a shield wouldn't help if they fired on me.. While Stripetail was immortal, being shot in the chest would be very painful and put him out of commision for a good while..

Kor · **Reply #659 on:** March 03, 2009, 02:51:13 AM

"how bout a spell to make it harder to see the target like a blur spell." Sara asked.
