There's a faint pop as an adamantine shelled turtle pops into existence on a table and begins slowly crawling across it.
*Started off as a bored idea, ended up an actual character concept I'm intro'ing...*
Yacatl (Speak with Animals): Who are you?
The turtle looks up. It has a pierced ear with a mithral earing. "You don't need to bother with all that. I can talk." Its voice is ancient sounding and conjures up images of long gone landscapes.
"You never know these days." Yacatl responds. "Anyway, what should I refer to you as?"
"Piggleshell is what those who can't pronounce my name call me. So that's what you can call me." It speaks slowly and patiently.
"Yacatl. Are you unique, or are all your species possess such exquisite shells?"
"Do you see any other turtles wearing a shell like this? I am the only one in my universe, but since there are infinite reflections, it is likely somewhere else there are others who have mastered the way of the perfect soul."
"Mmm... no. You might be a paragon from the beastlands." They mutter aloud
"I come from Earth, mudman."
"The plane of earth?"
"The plane-t of Earth, yeah."
"Mmm... Or are you refering to the planet that the ancient Ilmarskari reached?"
"Nah, no idea who that is. I'm from the Long Earth, yeah."
*One of my favorite series, by Terry Pratchett and Stephen Baxter.*
"Mmm... I see."
*The second earth Yacatl mentioned is the Earth where we exist right now. AKA Terra*
*The Long Earth is essentially a never ending string of Earths that you can reach by stepping. Humanity evolved on one of these, and our ancient ancestors who could step stepped away and disappeared, not settling down like Homo Sapiens did.*
"But do you?"
"Mmm... As much as I can currently."
"You have not touched the soul of the worlds, you have not seen the truth... you will one day, though. All creatures will one day grasp the brilliant, shining truth of the multiverse."
"Mmm... I believe I have come close. How do you do such a thing?"
"You simply do... It will come to you in time. I have had millions of years to ponder..."

11. The weak swordsman clings to his instrument. It is better you have a sword, but death must lie under your fingernails, if need be. Learn death with your elbows, death with your knees, and death with your thumbs and fingertips. It is said death with the tongue is useful, but I find words too soft an instrument to smash a man’s skull.
*Aight, and was this the encounter you were talking about in the PM? bc Krathian is lvl 20, and I don't want to screw up the encounter via his participation.*
*If that's too high, then Tasa is WAY to high at CR 20...*
*Tasa is CR 30, lol. Phantom would be out too; CR 29 edging on being 30.*

*No, Shiguri is CR 30. Tasa's CR 20.*
*That's right.*
*I would probably limit the main participates at ~20, but I can run a seperate thing for the higher level ones like Phantom*

Hi everyone! I'm working up the will to finalize my signature, so... I guess this will be the signature for now
"Heard you two lovebirds were looking to kill Spawn."
Who are you?
Krathian walks out of the bushes, fingers steepled, his hat shadowing his faintly glowing eyes. "An interested party. Put bluntly? I'm in."
I don't trust you...
Rancor took a step forward, blankly staring at Krathian. "We accept." He looked back at Tasa. "Don't worry, if he does something unfavorable, I will kill him."
He bows cordially, "At your pleasure, what would you have me do."
Rancor looked back at Krathian. "First, collect useful pawns."
His eyes flare slightly. "If by pawns you mean thralls - this I will not do. Any who assists our cause will do so voluntarily, though I can nudge them in the right direction."
Rancor's horn whirs a bit. "I never said anything about collecting unwilling people. Unwillingness will only make things difficult. And difficulties will have to be eliminated." Rancor took a step forward. "I do not care about your methods, just collect them." Rancor took another step forward. "Unless you want to make this difficult?"
He sighs, pinching the bridge of his nose"Threatening me is unwise. 'Pawn' at least, where I come from, usually denotes a lack of will to complete or understanding of the objective. 'Spawn' on the other hand, generally denotes a lack of discretion. I find difficulty equally unadvisable, yet you seem to be more concerned with threatening me than working towards our actual goal."
"I am not concerned with anything over anything else, other than the needs of Tasa currently, which includes this objective of ours. I do what I see as the most effective means to complete the objective, which is letting you know my stance in this. As for threatening you, what is it that gardeners like to say? 'Pick out the weeds before they ruin everything' or something along those lines." Rancor tilted his head a bit. "Do you understand? I am merely seeing if you are a weed."
"You don't rip a plant out of the ground to see if it is a weed, just like you don't shoot a man in the dark to check if he is an enemy. Unwarranted threats can cause betrayal as surely as prevent it. As I said, the vendetta I have with Spawn is personal, and completely isolated from any motive you or Tasa may possess. A vendetta I would have pursued regardless of your involvement. I have no reason to work against you, and, as of the present moment, every reason to work with you. Put simply, we have no reason not to trust each other, and I have given you no indication that I am a weed."
*Drops not-so-subtle Spawn name dig*
*Lol*
Rancor stared blankly.
"Are you well?" asks Krathian, confused at his expression
"I am fine."
"What is the cause of your blank stare, then?"
"I always look like this, even when we were talking."
*I probably should have specified, but he rarely puts emotion into his words or face when he talks, so unless I specify that, he's just blankly looking and speaking in a casual tone.*
"I... must have failed to notice."
*lol it's fine.*

(Hello again Yacatl. How are you my friend?)
She happily dunks a cookie in milk and takes a bite.
Wolfe caught up to her, leaning on her knees and breathing a bit heavily. "Oh, shut up."
