Re: DM themed play-by-post D&D game : STORY THREAD

The air elemental moved, and nothing happened. It took a moment for everyone to realise it had bowed in respect to the maruafu. - a child of nature, as always, it is why our one chose you -. The air elemental then did shift around, spinning and turning as if dancing.
The first Ameena felt of anything happening was a feeling of being scooped by something flat and solid. There was nothing there, but suddenly the weight of Ameena's body disappeared, as if she were floating in water with her feet barely touchign the bottom. A second later the seonsation did not really change, except Ameena had now changed position - her legs were dangling over water.
WHOOSH!
Wherther it was a natural sound or a call fro mthe elemental; was unclear, all that was clear was that Ameena had disappeared!
To Ameena herself, suddenly there was a rushign sensation as she was catapulted right up the pit with a sharp motion. For a moment there was the beginnings of weight, as the parabola of the throw came to an end. She was barely beside the pit's edge. And then suddenly that feeling of weightlessness was back. She could just abotu see the pit's edge come towards her in an easy manner, as if it was unreal. It was like the time when Ameena had seen her own body, and the dark murafu that was somehow Dolo, tied to the dark stone. Except this time, the surroundings were perfecly crisp, and there was no evil murafu regarding her. This time, the movement was smooth and easy and effortless.
The weight returned to Ameena's body only once her feet were against the rock of the edge of the pit. - sorry for showing off, we get so little chance these days - said the elemental.
Ameena did not hear Petal's question below, or else she might have realised why there was an odd tingle running through her tiny form. Instead, it seemed to be a by-product of the leap through the air.
So is Ameena yelling 'again, again!' or is she now firmly holding on to the ground?
Deephold bit his lip from the teasing of the pixie, however her serious follow up question took his attention. While the dwarf and pixie engaged in conversation, the elemental came back and respectfully lifted Haynuus upwards, apparently able to take Helm aswell. Haynuus was treated to a slowler lift (maybe Helm affected the speed), and he could see his legs dangling below the bulge of his artifical stomach. At least it gave him somewhere to rest his arms. Helm, at the other side, was lifted gently, and he looked as if he were simply sleeping vertically. Hopefully, that was metaphorically true. The circlet tried to help him, but apparently the last time Haynuus had been through this place, he had let Falkor and Westian be excited over the VI altars, and had been more concerned with guard duty. Memories could onyl go so far, it seemed.
Especailly when every time he tried to recall the alternative memories, there was a strange bright light in his mind. His alternative self in his memories actually shielded its eyes from the sight. Even though, in that alterative time, there had been no light. Wait, or had there..?
Haynuus's feet touched the ground besde Ameena without his realising, the odd memories taking away his attention. Silently, Helm was laid down at the feet of Ameena and Haynuus.
Meanwhile, Deephold was answering Petal's question. "No, I feel nothing, noble pixie. However, I have come to suspect your senses to the natural world are far more developed than those who study the ways of magic and prayer instead of live naturally in their flow." Deephold was concerned, tapping his chin. He was distracted enough that he did not realise why Petal started speakign to the group as a whole. His eyes went wide as he realised the air elemental had silently lifted him upwards.
"What?" he said, starting to panic. He then flew briefly out of Petal's sight, who had matched the drift of Deephold perfectly with her flying. Deephold's shock luckily did not translate to noise as he was grabbed at the top by the air elemental again and gently placed down on the group.
- i did not wish you to slip - explained the air elemental, although there was a tone of mischief to that windy voice. Its none then because as serious as Petal's earlier, when it answered the pixie's question when its attention was caught. - The thing is bright. Yet is has no energy. The thing has a form. Yet it is not there. And the thing is hungry. Many creatures is has consumed, though for now it spits them out, traumatised. -
Ok, all you guys are now at the top of the pit. I assume you want to go back? This is a 'srot yourselves out, react, and ask any more questions / decide on an apporach backwards (quiet as Petal suggests?) These will be sort of the last posts of this thread. It's been a good thread to us for many a year, seen characters come (lukcily none go, well, maybe an NPC or two) but to mark the end of the game I'm creating a new thread to bring all you guys together again. Just shy of the big 100 too! Thoguh technically, when I merge the other threads, it will be like 110 or 120 posts, so we actually sailed passed it already!
And also, I'll reveal the title of the game! Ameena, not your title, though you need to tell people it at some point. And not a good title. But a title nontheless, to finalyl differentiate it from Raixel's new game
