Hey FamCrafters, as the title says, it's time for Soma to tell a little tale.. I'll be adding pieces of the story in the coming days to the OP. I hope you guys enjoy!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Soma sighed heavily and wiped the sweat from his brow. He had spent the last 4 days in the mines and missed the sunlight. His dwarven resolve was quickly fading and his biceps grew weak. I need a break.. he thought to himself. He climbed slowly up the slope of the mine toward the entrance. It was night time in the little village of Ghast Valley. Soma stretched and marched toward his little cottage in the west of the village, yawning fiercely as he pushed his door open. Soma wasn't entirely a dwarf, His father was the king of the dwarven city of Asgarnia while his mother was merely a human. Soma had long black hair that fell in his face and touched the lower part of his neck. He was fairly muscular from working long hours in the mines. His eyes were a piercing hazel color that seemed to stare inquisitively at everything they could. He usually wore a pair of black pants with tall leather boots. He wore no shirt, as the mines tended to cause clothing to grow filthy quickly.Around his forehead, Soma donned a red headband, given to him by his father. Soma stripped off his armored shoulder plates and crawled into bed, letting sleep take over.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Anna stood in the stargate room with a cheerful smile on her face. "Okay well, that's about it! I hope you enjoyed your tour!", she gestured to a newcomer. "Welcome to the world of Famcraft!" The new player ran off toward a stargate and jumped through, eager to start his adventure. Anna exhaled with a look of satisfaction on her face. "Another tour in the bag."Anna was a ragdoll with blonde hair and green 'skin'. Her stitches were clean, and her demeanor proper. She snapped her fingers and floated slowly into the air. Before she could take off into full flight, Thoatt appeared behind her. Thoatt sported a black suit and red tie with close cropped hair and a bright smile. He always seemed to be there when it was least expected. "You've still got it Anna." , Thoatt said with his trademark bright smile. "Well, there are no new players, no reports to file, noone misbehaving, what do you wanna do?" Anna scratched her head and pulled out a small glowing book. "I'd love to goof off with you Thoatt, but Soma needs me for a W.E. I'll have to go take care of that!" And with that, she warped away, leaving Thoatt grinning as he pulled out a sparkling diamond sword. "Well, I suppose I'll go kill some pigmen then!" And he jumped into the nether stargate.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Seth ran through the forest as the sun rose over the hills, his tattered armor breaking off with each step. A plethora of skeletons sprinted after him, blasting arrows through the trees. One of them embedded itself in Seth's arm. "Agh!" he shouted in pain. "You bony jerks! Take this!" He swung his diamond sword through the woods, unleashing a flury of flame into the growing light. The blast cut through the wood and sliced two of the skeletons in half. They crumbled to dust and dropped their bows. Only six undead monsters remained. They simoltainously nothched their arrows and launched a volley into the air. Seth weaved and dodged until he came to the mouth of a cave. He dived in, hoping to escape, only to realize that the cave went two steps back and stopped. He quickly jammed two boulders in the entrance, leaving a crack for him to peak through. As he peered through the hole, a skeletal face appeared, strartling Seth and causing him to jump back. The skeleton stabbed at the hole with its bow as its brothers prepared their bows to fire. Suddenly, they all burst into flame and began to turn into dust. The sun had finally risen! He was safe.That was close. I should get back to Soma and let him know about all these monsters around the area. Seth held out his hands and they began to glow a cool blue. With a flash of light, he disappeared.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Soma was awoken suddenly by a knock at the door. He groaned and rubbed the sleep from his eyes. "What is it!?" He hobbled over the the door and opened it to see a large chicken-man doubled over in pain. It was Max. He was very experienced in all fields, a jack of all trades and Soma trusted him with any task. What was he doing here? "Hey Max, how are you?" Max looked up with a grimace on his face. "We've been out of food for 2 days over at GSQ." He gagged slightly and covered his mouth. "I ate some rotting flesh and It's not agreeing with me." He lurched to the left and began to vomit into a nearby bush. He wretched a few times before coming up and wiping his beak. Max turned to Soma and shrugged. "We should really talk to Camel. I heard he's invested in a huge meat farm." Soma looked over into the nearby woods and saw figure running towards him. "Hey Max, isn't that Seth?" Max turned around and spotted a black figure with glowing green eyes sprinting out of the woods. "Hey it is! Hey Seth!" Seth ran up to Soma and fell onto his bottom in an attempt to catch his breath. "Soma- Mobs- In woods- Careful!" He gasped. Soma looked up into the sky and spotted Anna descending from the clouds. "Looks like it's a party!" Soma said with a grin. "Hey Anna!" Anna waved and landed smoothly on her feet "Hey ya'll! How is everyone?" Soma smiled brightly as he handed Seth a health potion and a steak. "I'm great Anna! I'm glad you're here!" Anna scratched her head and smiled. "I'm always here to help! Where did you need cut out?"Auzeru and the others walked over to a huge,shallow and round hole in the ground. "Well basically Anna, I need This cut down about 55 yards. Can you do that?" Anna smiled. "Sure can Soma!" She pulled out a wooden hatchet and pointed it at the hole. The axe glowed bright yellow and began to shoot a thin beam that traced the circle in rapid succession. The beam progressed for a few moments and then stopped. Suddenly, a huge blast of yellow light shot from the hole, releasing a blast of energy that knocked everyone from their feet. "W-What the heck is that!? All I wanted was a world edit!" Soma said, with a look of shock on his face. The blast of energy came again, amplified this time. So much so that it blasted Soma into a tree and caused him to faint.
Darkness.......
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Soma opened his eyes groggily and stared at the sun above him. He blinked a few times before sitting up and looking around. Something was wrong. He wasn't in Ghast Valley... "What happened?" he thought. He got to his feet and began to survey his surroundings. He was in a snow covered forest. The goosebumps began to crawl over his skin as he realized he still lacked a shirt. "Anna!? Max? Seth?? Where are you guys?" He shouted. Fear began to boil in the pit of his stomach. Where were they? What had happened? "The last thing I remember is a world edit..and then that light!", he thought. He ran his fingers through his hair thoughtfully and began to wander aimlessly north. He jumped back as a strange creature leapt from the tree's. It was a squirrel! "What the heck is that thing doing here?" Soma broke into a sprint and raced through the forest. There was an array of new creatures roaming the forest. It was all to much for Soma to handle. In his panic, he crashed into a huge pile of living diamond ore.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Vespa fell onto his bottom as a young man thudded into him. "Oof!" He pushed the person off and realized that it was his old friend Soma. "Soma! I'm so glad to see you! What the heck happened?" Soma got to his feet and dusted himself off. "I could ask you the same thing! I woke up and everything was just gone! No more Spawn Village, no more Ghast Valley, Not even my beautiful mine shafts!" Soma shook his head and brushed his hair out of his face. Vespa was an animated golem made from diamond ore who wore a black shirt and red tie. He was fairly small for a golem, but he didn't lack the strength that his kind was famous for. The diamonds embedded in Vespa's rocky exterior glistened in the sun. "So what do you suggest we do?" Vespa said. "We have no choice but to try and survive." Soma said matter-o-factually. He began to assault a nearby oak tree and Vespa followed his example.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Anna jammed her stone sword into the zombies head and used her foot to wrench it free. She backed against the wall of the cave she had taken refuge in and swung her sword in a wide arc, attempting to drive off her attackers. "This is so bad!",She thought. "Why can't I fly!?" She ran along the wall and pushed off, thrusting her foot into the temple of one of the 5 zombies left. Using all of her strength, Anna drew back and stabbed forward, skewering 2 of the zombies but also costing her a sword. Unarmed, she let loose a volley of punches hoping to dissuade her enemies. The tactic worked and she ran forward towards a beam of light coming through a gap in the ceiling. She threw herself upwards and pulled herself through the hole. She had made it to the surface and ended up in a plains. Anna looked into the sky and a look of anger crossed her dainty face for only a second as she saw the moon high in the sky. She broke into a sprint and and ran across the big field. I need to head back to spawn! Maybe Someone else arrived..
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Soma brushed his pants off and stood back to admire his work. In front of him stood a small cottage of oak logs and planks accented by cobblestones. The cottage took him a short time to build and it wasn't the best, but he was proud of it. Vespa crawled out from a small cave with a small sack. He dumped out the sack and revealed a pile of iron and coal. "Soma, maybe YOU should do the mining. I'm sick of getting mobbed by creepers down there!" Vespa gestured towards his burnt tie. "One of those jerks almost blew me into lava!" Soma chuckled lightly. "Come inside, I found a few cows over the hill. I made 'Soma's Steak Surprise!'" They began to walk towards the cottage when they heard strange rumbling noise. "Soma..? Was that you?" Vespa asked, a worried look crossing his face. Soma shook his head and drew his stone pickaxe. "Quick Vespa, stand back to back. Who knows whats coming?" Vespa withdrew a wooden sword and stood with his back close to Soma. They waited. Nothing happened for a few moments. Suddenly, a huge zombie with bulging pecs and biceps burst threw the woods roaring. "ROOOOAAAARR" Soma's eyes widened. "MUTANT ZOMBIE!!! RUN!" , He shouted. The zombie swept his hand and knocked Both Soma and Vespa against the cottage. Soma's world went black.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Soma opened his eyes a moment later, groggy from the impact. He quickly collected his senses and dived out of the way of a huge rotting fist. Vespa grabbed a stone sword from his belt and lunged at the beast, point first. The blade drove itself into the giant zombies arm and stuck there. The mutant raised his arm and brought vespa-clinging to the hilt- with it , "Ahhh!!Soma h-help!" , He screamed. Soma looked around for a weapon, the panic rising from the pit of his stomach. He spotted a skeleton burning in the sunlight. As it turned to dust, it dropped a single arrow. Soma dove for the arrow and ran forward. He leapt into the air and jammed the arrow right into the zombies face. It groaned and pawed at the wound uselessly as it fell over dead. Soma collapsed onto his bottom panting. Vespa wrenched the sword from the zombies body. It began to sizzle in the sunlight before beginning to thrash and convulse. With a sickening "POP" it exploded, leaving rotting flesh and green goop all over the ground.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Anna barely felt the arrow embed it self in her arm. Instinctively, she threw herself to the ground and crawled on her belly to the cover of a hollow fallen tree. She felt something moist. To her horror, she realized there was a dead zombie inside of the log with her,it's blood getting all over her clothes. She reeled back with disgust and anger, slamming her head against the top of the log.She fell forward and clutched her head. Anna felt the log pitch forward and begin to slowly roll. She scrambled out of the log as it gained speed and smashed against a tree. She stood up and plucked the arrow from her arm, dragging out a small tuft of stuffing with it. She winced as the arrow left her arm. Anna's eyes twinkled as she found the bow of a dead skeleton. She smiled as she notched the arrow onto the glowing bow. She let it fly through the air and pierced 2 skeletons, knocking them back into a third skeleton. With a satisfied look on her face, Anna proceed to jog towards the spawn.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Thoatt and Tavi were growing tired of each other as they sat in the jungle up their chests in quicksand. "This is all your fault Thoatt!" ,Tavi growled. "MY fault!?" ,Thoat retorted. "This wouldn't have happened if you hadn't been running around like an exp with its head cut off!" Tavi scoffed. "I was trying to dodge a creeper!" Thoatt shook his head. "I've had enough of this!" He squirmed franticly. "If only I could reach the WE hatchet! Although.. that's what got us into this mess in the first place.." The two sat there slowly sinking, waiting for there demise. Suddenly, thoatt's eyes widened. "T-Tavi!" he stammered, blushing in excitement. "What?" Tavi said. "The quicksand- Theres a cavern below it! My feet are flailing freely! If we can just sink faster.." Thoatt said. The two began to squirm around, slowly sinking downwards, until the sand covered there heads.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Soma got to his feet and dusted himself off. A cool wind blew through the valley. Soma brushed his hair out of his face and stared at the carnage before him. Vespa stood next to Soma and shook his head. "This isn't right.." , He muttered. " I thought that maybe the world got reset or something.. but this isn't right." He gestured at the mess in front of him. Soma stared intently at the zombies innards, his eyes twinkling with thought. "Hey Vespa, look! it's a book." Soma jogged forward and plucked the book from the mess and brought it over to Vespa. The two peered into its pages as it slowly opened. The book suddenly blasted out a ray of light which enveloped the pair and sucked them into it's pages. A few paces away, Anna watched in horror as the only other survivors she knew of were sucked into oblivion.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Thoatt's steps were heavy as he trudged through the dank labyrinth. The underground structure was made of moss covered and cracked bricks and at first, appeared to be a stronghold. He pawed at the walls, trying to find his way through safely. Tavi clung to Thoatt's sleeve, afraid to be lost in this strange world.The path suddenly fell off and the two found themselves up to their waists in murky water. Thoatt grit his teeth and waded forward. He bumped into an odd floating object, only to realize that it was the corpse of a zombie.And it wasn't alone."It looks as though someone or something went on a zombie killing spree! " Thoatt thought. He continued forward without looking down at the murky depths. Tavi fumbled around his backpack and pulled out an extinguished torch. He grinned and struggled to light it with the flint and steel he kept in his pocket. The sparks found the coal and with a loud "FWOOOSH" The torch and the air above the two ignited. They quickly dove into the disgusting water, only tavi's hand remaining above to keep the torch alive. The fire on the ceiling and walls died off and they resurfaced. "Natural gas." , Thoatt guessed. They plodded along until they came upon a circular room with a small pedestal in the center of the water. On the pedestal, sat a man with a large sword and a deadly glare.

-
Moar! I need to read moar! These cliff hangers man!
-
Maybe a certain Tavi can be in this story
-
Wait... So the title of the story is "The End of Famcraft", if so, I don't like where this story is heading... :'(
-
LOL took you a while to realized that vespa :P
-
Now you just sit back down mister and shoosh, the great story teller is speaking... Soon...
-
I think he's dead... He hasn't put anymore for a while now... We need more Soma! :D
-
Things are starting to get interesting ;3 Oh. and PICTURES. Sorry if I got your eyes wrong vespa ;o and.. forgot the shirt.xD
-
lols, its fine, besides, i'm gorgeous either way :3 btw, you modeled Anna perfectly ,always caring about the new players :D
btw, dis story is amazing!! and the big addition and picture explains why it took you longer. and that is perfectly fine cause it was well worth the wait! :-*
now... do we have any fancy-shmancy animators that would like to animate this wonderfully written story ;)
-
If you're hinting at me, I CANNOT animate in anyway! Video editing is absolutely NOT animation! Try talking to Seth, he's got Maya... ::)
Oh, and good luck convincing him :P
-
He didn't buy, but he does have a real version without a generated code/torrented or hacked client... Apparently he traded it for a $60 game with someone, LOL. But regardless, its the real deal... He could probably do it if he really wanted to, although it probably wouldn't turn out the best...

You know, the program is made not to be bought, but to be rented monthly? That's why the price is so high for purchase :P
-
Yeah, same with Adobe's CS6... its quite sad as well... Everything is soo expensive, I mean, who wants to pay $20 a month for Photoshop and stuff? That's over $200 a year... Oh wait! Companies are *greedy!
q_q
mmm, *mostly

*Cssh*
Now that Soma is in control of the whole story, this next chapter could take a very, very, long time. If you become litended from thirst, feel free to pass out. A blue dog associate will be dispatched to revive you with peptic sound and adrenalin.
*Cssh*
-
wat?
-
wat?
If you don't get that reference you're no Portal fan...
-
i is portal fan but uh... all that text substitution makes it a bit hard to get the reference, especially one that long :/
-
How dare you use me to revive unconscious guinea pigs >:(
-
i is portal fan but uh... all that text substitution makes it a bit hard to get the reference, especially one that long :/
I agree with Vespa on this, I'm a portal fan and I had a hard time getting it.
-
i is portal fan but uh... all that text substitution makes it a bit hard to get the reference, especially one that long :/
I agree with Vespa on this, I'm a portal fan and I had a hard time getting it.
"Now that you are in control of both Portals, this next test could take a very, very, long time. If you become litended from thirst, feel free to pass out. An intoobation associate will be dispatched to revive you with peptic sound and adrenalin."
-GLaDOS
Portal 1, when you get the dual portal device.

New chapters! I'm glad ya'll are enjoying!
-
:o poor Anna but on a completly related note, what happened to us ???
-
Who is that man?
-
Who is that man?
Just a hunch, but I think it's probably Plenary. AuBot will save the day! *Bleep Bloop*
-
Why would plenary kill his minions? I was think that it was like a vault *cough* fallout boy *cough*
-
well plenary shouldnt be a problem with thoatt there, he can just ban him... again... if he still has any control that is...
-
The rest of the story exceeds the character limit so I'll be continuing it here!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Soma rubbed his eyes, stunned by the blinding light. He looked around and saw Vespa doing the same. His ears were ringing and he could taste blood. The surrounding area was an enormous field of ashen gray soil. To his left Soma found a broken purple sword with a book on top of it laying next to a dead skeleton. He snatched up the items and tucked them into his backpack. A blood chilling roar echoed throughout the valley, followed by a crunching noise and an explosion. The blast came from the west and knocked Soma and Vespa off of their feet. Soma looked up and his eyes widened. "VESPA! LOOK OUT!" Soma called out. Vespa glanced upwards and saw what Soma was yelling about. Hundreds of meteors hailed from the sky careening towards the ashen ground. The two staggered to their feet and broke into a sprint heading east. The ash was thick and it tugged at their ankles, as if the world itself wanted them to die. They fought through the ashes as the explosions grew nearer. To his left, Vespa saw a huge mutant skeleton get crushed by one of the smaller meteors. "Vespa, theres a building there!" Soma pinted at a gray stone building straight ahead. They ran into the building and quickly surveyed the area. There were chests and shelves stocked with books and pages. One book stood out, sitting on a small pedestal. The book was labeled, "Home". Soma quickly grabbed some of the pages, stuffed them into his pack and opened the book. The book shot a bright beam of light which enveloped both Soma and Vespa, dragging them into the book.

Rundrop didn't expect to be squashed by the two people who fell from thin air. He walked about his new cyclops den, his head high with pride at his new living quarters. there was a large sheepskin rug blanketing the main room as well as golden candelabras, paintings and stone furniture. There were several corridors labeled with various signs such as 'Forge' or 'Kitchen'. As Rundrop prepared to walk to the kitchen, two people fell out of nothingness and plowed into him. He quickly shoved them off and drew a curved white blade adjourned with jewels. His eyes widened. "Vespa! Soma!" he grinned and enveloped His fellow underground dwellers in a huge cyclops hug. Soma blushed and smiled brightly. "It's great to see you too Runny! Now uh.. you're kind of crushing my spine so can you.. you know." Rundrop dropped them and grinned. "Right, sorry!" He gestured to the kitchen. "Both of you, join me for dinner. We have alot to discuss!" Soma's gaze was adamant and thoughtful. "Dinner..? But when we left, it was morning. We were gone for maybe 10 minutes" Soma turned to Vespa who shrugged. They followed runny through the short cavern into a large square room with furnaces and cabinets as well as a large cooking range. Rundrop withdrew a few slabs of pork and wads of bread dough from the larder in the corner of the room and began to prepare a meal. Soma and Vespa sat down at the nearby table as Rundrop cooked. Soma withdrew the book and pages from his backpack and studied them with Vespa looking over his shoulder. "These texts don't seem related." Soma stated, looking at the book which was covered in dust
The pages were decorated in various symbols in black ink. Soma stacked the pages and opened the book. His eyes widened and a smile crossed his face. "This.. this is it!" He brushed away a bit of dust from the page to reveal the title ,"Materials and You by Skyla" Soma tapped his finger on the book. "This is the book of Tinkering! It introduces an entirely new way of crafting weaponry and tools! Much more efficient ones!" Rundrop left the food to cook and walked over. "Better weaponry huh?" He peered down at the book. " You know, I have a forge and it's a bit empty. Maybe we could try out some of these methods, Soma. You guys are welcome to stay as long as you'd like!" Rundrop sniffed the air and then clapped his hands and smiled. "Dinner is ready!"

(I'm so sorry about the wait there has been SO MUCH going on with my personal life and school. I'll get back on the ball I promise!)
Luke was growing sick of the murky swamp quickly. His orange sweater was caked with mud and he grit his teeth as he waded through the muck. Behind him was a trail of defeated skeletons, and zombies, littering the mud. "I need to figure out whats going on here" , Luke thought to himself. His warm brown hair was filthy with bone dust and mud.Luke dragged a battered iron sword in his right hand. He spat as a fly found its way onto his upper lip. Furiously, He began to charge through the swamp, anxious to escape. He pressed forward only to be stopped by a bubbling mass in front of him. The mud parted to reveal a Naga brandishing a shiny golden blade. The amphibious monster raised its arm and swing the blade at Luke, swiping dangerously close to his chest. He looked down to see his sweater split and blood seeping through. He stared at the ruined cloth as his eyes twitched with fury. "I'll kill you, you overgrown fish!" He lunged at the beast sword point first and unleashed a fury of critical blows, each one more deadly and swift than the last. "I'll make sushi out of you!" , He taunted as he slashed at the creature. The creature fell down in the mud in defeat as it wailed in anguish. It released a shrill cry of what Luke thought was defeat. To his dismay, the mud around him began to bubble further. He ran his fingers through his hair and smiled. "Oh well, more experience for me!" He chuckled as he raised his blade.

Soma patted his full belly and smiled. "That was amazing Rundrop! Where'd you learn to cook like that?" Rundrops cheeks turned a shade of darker green. "Aw shoot Soma, theres a cookbook in the Wiki.. I just followed that!" He chuckled lightly. Vespa clasped his hands together and wore a grim expression. "Rundrop, we need to find out whats happened here. This world is obviously not the same." Rundrop looked towards the ceiling of the cave. "I'm well aware, Vespa. Something has upset the balance of our peaceful server and thrust us into this chaotic land." He stood up and walked towards a cauldron and began to scrub the stone plates. "I believe that what we're dealing with here, is a ModWorld." Soma jumped up. "A ModWorld! That would explain everything! Including the sword, the giant and the book to another realm!" Rundrop froze and stared downwards. The cauldron began to bubble with a purple mist. Suddenly, it began to melt into a pool of steaming purple goop. The thick purple liquid begain to seep through cracks in the wall and through the ground. Soma grit his teeth. "Rundrop back away! It's TAINT!" But it was too late. The taint flooded over rundrop and molded itself to the shape of his body. The goop sank into his skin and disappeared. The room bubbled with evil and hummed with a faint energy. Rundrop got to his feet. "Rundrop, are you okay!?" Vespa asked, the concern evident on his face. Rundrop looked up at them and grinned. His eyes had turned completely purple and purple veins throbbed in his neck. Using his cyclops strength, he grabbed the cauldron and hurled it at Soma. Soma ducked and the cauldron sailed over his head, only to smash into Vespa's face, chipping off a piece of it. "Ow that hurt!!" Vespa screamed. Soma dived for his backpack which lay in the corner of the room. He grabbed the blade of the broken sword and spun around to see the corrupted Rundrop looming over vespa's battered form. Soma charged at rundrop and plunged the blade into his side, cutting his own hands. Instead of blood, the taint poured from Rundrops wound and his eyes rolled into his head as he fainted.

The dark figure sat on a log in the midst of the purple bubbling swamp, meditating. His eyes closed and his focus strong, he remained unmoving. The sun slowly drifted down towards the horizon and darkness began to settle over the landscape. The man opened his eyes and raised his head. He wore a black fedora and matching suit. His eyes were empty and white, and his skin was tanned, darkened by the harsh sun. He wore a blank expression as he got to his feet and adjusted his hat. The man's somber expression broke to slowly reveal a crooked smile, as he launched into the air and took flight.

Soma sat with his legs crossed next to rundrop on the cave floor. Vespa was rumaging through Rundrops storage chests and pulled out a single chunk of diamond ore. Without hesitating, he popped it into his mouth. The chunk of missing stone on his head began to glow and then regenerated as though it was never missing. Rundrop stirred in his sleep and muttered, " Goats... I have to..goats.."Soma looked up a vespa and then down at the bandage on Rundrop's side. "Vespa.. we need to find the others." ,Soma said with a worried look on his face. "They have to be SOMEWHERE in this world." Vespa shook his head. "Our best bet is to stay here until Rundrop is healed. We can use his strength on the journey to find our friends." Soma sighed heavily and fell backwards, staring t the ceiling. "I don't understand this at all!" he put a hand over his eyes. "All I wanted was a hole.."

Anna Stomped towards the house and kicked the door down. It wasn't like her to get angry, but she was frustrated after having her efforts be in vain. She opened a chest and smiled briefly as she pulled out a small pile of iron ingots. She began forging a blade of iron as well as a pair of boots and a chestplate. After about an hour of work, She stood in the center of the house donning her shining new armor. She noticed an odd bolt of large red cloth on the crafting bench beside her. She picked it up and draped it over her shoulders, forming a sort of cloak. The hood she improvised cast a shadow over her face. She stormed through the door, determined to find the family she had come to love.
