The Last Poster Wins! [v8]

[Sir Sivelos]

Good, but I need you to give me Baal's Greatsword.

[The Nonexistent Tazz]

OK then...*Gives you Baal's Original Greatsword*...Hrm, let me guess: he wants his old greatsword back?

OK then, give that back to him. We'll wait for you here...But we'll really need to go soon. The Ragnak haven't entered this superdimension yet, so we can grab an Elder Soul or two if we're quick!

[Sir Sivelos]

Yeah. Nightmare? *NIGHTMARE nods as he teleports us both back to the entrance of BAAL's castle / palace / stronghold / pad.*

[Ganyu]

Y'all talk too much. -yawns-

[Sir Sivelos]

Mhm. *walking BAAL'S CASTLE-ward*

[The Nonexistent Tazz]

*Baal, already there with his Cartographers (and now MORE troops of a lesser standing) takes the Greatsword. He inspects it for a few seconds with a similar gesture to before, but instead of making it vanish, takes it and vanishes his newer sword. The two seem almost identical, barring the inscriptions...What's the problem?*

Mediator: The admirable Tyrant Overlord Baal, Incarnate of Conquest, thanks you for your service. However, his lordship is not yet content in your ability to keep your mind safe from others. Return with a way to completely block all attempts to read your mind-and henceforth safely guard the secret of the weapon you so desperately need-and the admiral be Tyrant Overlord, with one more task taken afterwards, shall tell you where to find the weapon.

*The Knoweldge Ring-as expected-is drawing Blanks against the Elder Soul that is Baal's final task, or for that matter the location of the weapon. Otherwise you'd already know. Gotta preserve drama somehow!*

Mediator: You are dismissed, you may leave.

[Sir Sivelos]

*nods* Of course. *SIVELOS and NIGHTMARE reunite with everyone else* So I need to find a way to have my mind totally untouchable. Any ideas?

[The Nonexistent Tazz]

Tazz: Nope! Other than specific pieces of L00T, of course, and sadly I don't have them.

However, I DO need assistance with getting at the Elder Soul...It's more complex than I thought...I think Baal can afford to be patient on this, at least a little, considering the rate we go at-we need to get at the Elder Souls as soon as possible, BEFORE the Ragnak can get at them.

Up for a Dungeon Run?

[Sir Sivelos]

Well, I need to do it with in a (in-universe) week. So... Oh, wait! I know! I got this from RK! *holds up the Barrier Ring*

[The Nonexistent Tazz]

*RK didn't give THAT to you, technically, but it works...*

...That'll do, but I'd rather not leave the matter sitting down. Baal has patience, this matter could resolve itself against our favor at any moment! You can go if you're quick about it, but I really DO need additional help from another, err, adventurer. You get the idea.
