Start of #Sharn buffer: Wed May 14 22:28:46 2008 [17:34:04] [After Loharath pulled one of the beholderkin down to the ground where Phanos's dogs and Mari made short work of it, and Aurora shot the other out of the air to let it plumet into the lava river hundreds of feet below, the party is free to rest for a few minutes to catch their breath before continuing through the steel doors to the south.] [17:34:21] [Session Start] [17:41:42] * Phanos moves over to the beholder, searching its body for anything of value. [17:42:28] * Marianysa stares at Loharath, grinning. "That was AWESOME." [17:43:10] "Dem eyey mons done falled in de lava ya." [17:43:26] * Loharath unwraps himself from the gauth and stands up. "If you say so, Mari." He grins, obviously more proud of himself than is proper for a flammic paladin. [17:43:55] ... I dunno about awesome, but at least I feel slightly less ill. [17:43:59] Well-done. [17:44:13] Those things were a pain... well, we know this place defintiely isn't a false lead now. [17:45:26] "Letsa go checka de doah." [17:45:31] * Loharath nods. [17:45:35] Yeah [17:46:58] * Loharath walks up to the door and waits for everyone to rank up before pushing it open [17:47:13] Hang on. [17:47:22] Lemme check this one. [17:47:30] Good idea. [17:47:45] * Aurora steps just bheind Loharath [17:48:15] "It must be borin' ya. We done jumpy all ovah, chaage de beasties, done summon de zombodogs, casty de juju, an what you do? You make dem toys and you looka at dem doors." [17:48:56] * Mauz keeps his distance. He still looks uneasy, but there's enough adrenaline running through him that he can ignore the jitters somewhat. [17:49:24] [Loharath pushes the door open into a entrance hall of some sort, dominated by a 10-foot tall stone statue of a dragon. The room descends slightly toward the south, and torches sputter on the walls, burning an eerie purple.] [17:50:30] Let's make sure the dragon won't try to kill us this time. [17:52:29] Heh. Yeah. [17:52:33] Ghn. [17:52:37] Hah [17:53:11] * Aurora looks around hte room carefully from a distance [17:53:30] * Phanos moves in after everyone else steps in, keeping his distance from the dragon [17:53:32] * Marianysa steps cautiously into the room. [17:53:52] * Mauz keeps to the rear. His agitation has returned in force. [17:55:00] [The party steps cautiously inward, circumventing the demonic dragon statue as much as possible as they descend the black-marble steps. The eerie lightning casts long shadows on everyone's features, making even the each other seem unfamiliar.] [17:55:14] -the [17:56:35] * Marianysa shivers and moves closer to Loharath. "Creepy." [17:57:18] [As soon as they pass around the statue, however, it's eye blaze red and it's stone jaw opens, emmiting a terrible, long, screaching roar.] [17:58:07] "Well, dems gon know we eah now mon." [17:58:15] * Loharath whips around to the statue. "SHUT UP!" [17:59:30] * Mauz jumps momentarilly, then hisses and unleashes a fel bolt right at the damn thing's mouth without a second's delay. [17:59:56] * Marianysa starts and turns towards the statue. "Well...it's not trying to kill us. Yet." [18:00:21] [The doors to the entrance chamber slam open, cultists appearing behind them.] [18:00:30] [Initiative] [18:00:37] "You shouldnna said noting girl." [18:01:22] Technically, the statue still isn't trying to kill us. [18:04:21] [Loharath's Turn] [18:04:45] * NovaSeaker changes topic to 'Init Order: Loharath, Phanos, Mari, Mauz, Aurora' [18:04:50] * Loharath whips to his right and leaps on the cultist, pulling his swords as he goes and trying to bury them in the cultist. [18:13:27] * Loharath lands on the cultist, knocking him down and letting the force of his momentum push the swords through. [18:13:34] * NovaSeaker changes topic to 'Init Order: Loharath, Cultists, Phanos, Mari, Mauz, Aurora' [18:13:51] [The remaining culsits bum rush Loharath.] [18:17:21] [Their heavy martial picks gouge dents into the gold-veined marble tile, completely missing Loharath.] [18:17:24] [Phanos's Turn] [18:18:33] * Phanos suddenly gestures towards the group, and his dogs take this as a cue to action, both heading off to the melee, snarling as maws of jagged wood snap at the cultists. [18:22:22] [Mari's Turn] [18:22:48] * Marianysa draws her swords and let's loose on the nearest cultist. [18:25:07] [Mauz's Turn] [18:28:30] ... gh. [18:29:37] * Mauz quickly marches close enough to unload a stream of baleful death as the closest cultist. "Bastards, all of you!" [18:31:01] [Aurora's Turn] [18:33:16] * Aurora moves around behind a bunch of her allies and strikes at a cultist with her mace [18:35:14] * Aurora actually stands her grounds and attacks the one next to her [18:35:42] [Aurora whalops him on the head, putting him off-balance momentarily.] [18:35:48] [Loharath's Turn] [18:36:44] * Loharath turns again and thrusts his swords into the last cultist [18:36:52] (2 left) [18:37:15] * Loharath thrusts at one cultist, turns and brings both swords down on another [18:38:38] * Loharath misses, but brings his followthrough slashing into the non-blooded cultist [18:39:26] [One of the cultists slips between Loharath and Aurora as Loharath misses him, then tries to plow his pick into Loharath's back.[ [18:40:29] [The pick bounces of a thin sheet of psychokinetic energy an inch above Loharath's skin.] [18:40:53] [The second remaining cultist just completely misses Loharath, smashing his pick into the wall beside him.] [18:40:57] [Phanos's Turn] [18:41:50] * Phanos points to one of the remaining cultist, his dogs 5 ft stepping in, one over the corpse of the cultists' fallen comerade, snapping at the man. In the mean time, Phanos steps to the door and peers into the hall [18:48:48] [Phanos's dogs maul the remaining cultists to pieces, and Phanos peers around the corner just in time to see two horrible amalgams of flesh and limbs pour out of the door at the end of the short hall. When he turns to alert the group, there are two more running down the hall opposite the one he peered into, and four coming through the double-doors to the south.] [18:49:20] [The two coming from the west fire their crossbows, each missing Loharath.] [18:49:52] [The two right in front of Phanos fire as well, only one bolt catching him.] [18:50:57] [From the south comes another volley of crossbow bolts, two aimed at Mari and two at Mauz.] [18:52:28] * NovaSeaker changes topic to 'Init Order: Loharath, Phanos, Dolgrims, Mari, Mauz, Aurora' [18:52:32] [Mari's Turn] [18:52:41] * Mauz makes an angry growling pain-sound as one bolt wings him pretty badly and the other ends up punching into a shoulder. "... death to you all!" [18:53:09] * Marianysa runs down the east hall to confront the two monsters there. "Bring it on!" [18:56:06] [Mari promplty skewers one on her blades, punching through it's abnormally tough skin.] [18:56:11] [Mauz's Turn] [18:57:13] * Mauz clenches his teeth through the mild pain while withdrawing, and his gloved right hand ignites in a burst of heat that wraps around the eldritch hatred he spews at the closest southern-facing beast. [18:59:28] [Aurora's Turn] [18:59:48] * Aurora reaches for a clasp on her robes and pulls out a sacred text of the Silver Flame. She awkwardly cradles it in one hand and grips her Holy Symbol with the other, and tries to turn the page as she recites on the Silver Flame's purpose to protect people from supernatural evil. A silver glow washes over everyone. They become protected and purposeful, but Loharath is affected the most. [18:59:55] [Mauz's eldritch fire scorches the flesh from the creature's foul bones, leaving it's warped and twisted dual-skull behind.] [19:00:49] [Loharath's Turn] [19:02:24] * Loharath points both his swords at one of the approaching monsters, and the flames arc towards them [19:03:43] * Loharath advances, slowly and steadily, to block the door. [19:04:51] (Nevermind that.) [19:05:05] [Phanos's Turn] [19:09:54] * Phanos grunts, pointing to the enemies swarming to the south door. Looking to the one he peered through, suddenly conjuring flames into his own hand. He chucks a rapidly-moving ball overhand at one of the crossbow wielding goons. One of his mutts snaps at an enemy trying to walk through the south door [19:13:51] [Running up to the creatures swarming to the south are two of their masters, the taller, emaciated hobgoblin-creatures with hollowed out eyes and writhing, muscular tentacles sprouting from their shoulders.] [19:15:06] [Both of them swing their tentacles at Dukey.] [19:17:28] [The shorter smushed-double-goblins begin attacking the dogs as well.] [19:21:16] [One of the dolgrims to the west shoots Loharath while the other charges in.] [19:22:39] [The crossbow bolt puncture's Loharath's inertial barrier but not enough to throw him off balance to block the other's charge.] [19:22:51] [Mari's Turn] [19:22:57] * NovaSeaker changes topic to 'Init Order: Loharath, Phanos, Dolgaunts, Dolgrims, Mari, Mauz, Aurora' [19:27:11] [Mari rushes over and puncutres one of the mutant's four eyes with her blade.] [19:27:15] [Mauz's Turn] [19:28:23] * Mauz lets loose with more dark power aimed directly in front of him, hoping to smack the ugly beast beyond Dukey. [19:29:49] [This one implodes in on itself as Mauz's dark power collides with it and snuffs out it's existance.] [19:30:12] May the Mad Ones choke on you! [19:30:16] [Loharath's Turn] [19:30:26] [Aurora's Turn] [19:30:51] "Aint dey de mad ones?" [19:30:54] * Aurora steps up to Loharath and starts healing him with the powr of the Silver Flame. [19:31:03] You're doing great! Hang in there! [19:31:25] (no) [19:31:36] (unless you're healing damage from this fight) [19:31:49] (take your turn now not 8 minutes ago) [19:33:38] * Aurora steps just behind Loharath and fires her bow at the beast before him [19:36:04] * Aurora lands her arrow, doing some amount of damage thanks to the enchantment Mari placed upon it [19:36:06] [Loharath's Turn] [19:36:31] * Loharath rears back and brings his swords down on the abberation in front of him, over and over again. [19:38:13] * Loharath kicks the mutilated Dolgrim down the hall and shouts at the one further down. "Come and feel the flame, coward!" [19:38:28] [Phanos's Turn] [19:48:19] [The last remaining mutant goblin in the west corridor charges blindly at Loharath, tripping up his swing before getting close.] [19:48:23] [Mari's Turn] [19:50:26] * Marianysa rushes through the door to attack the new foes. [19:50:41] * Phanos 's dogs tear the doorblocker to shreds, a tiny fireball flinging against the wall ineffectively from Phanos' hand as Fred gets dragged into the room. [19:51:17] [Marinaysa dives through those blocking her into the next room, and beyond the line of enemies she sees... crawling blue mist on the stone floor.] [19:51:32] Oh, SHIT. [19:52:42] [Mauz's Turn] [19:54:19] * Mauz grins grimly, carefully repositions himself... and unloads on the terror not presently molesting a dog-plant-zombie-thing. [19:56:11] [Aurora's Turn] [19:56:43] "Stop molesting Fred!" [19:57:49] * Aurora re-aims her bow at the dolgaunt in front of Loharath and fires again [19:58:28] * Aurora drops it, thanks to Mari's enchantmnet [19:59:08] [Loharath's Turn] [19:59:17] * Loharath turns and charges at the dolgrim next to Mari, trying to take it down before it can contribute to hurting her. [20:00:25] * Loharath impales it, lifting it off the ground on his sword and swinging it aside, tossing it to a corner [20:00:36] [Phanos's Turn] [20:03:15] "Fight Fred fight mon!" he shouts, Dukey stepping in diagonally to protect its dogbrother. Phanos moves over to Mauz, then spots the mists. He grins, cupping his hands over his mouth and whistling, that whistle turning into the sound of a cyclone. He clasps his fists closed, pointing to the cloud, a ball of powerful wind forming at its center [20:05:46] [The miss surrounding the figure standing at the center of the pool on the floor is flow off, and the creature's twisted cloth rags whip about in the wind, revealing him in all his corrupted horror. The hollow stare of his chest-eyes glares back at Phanos like a yawning abyss.. however the mist pooling at his feet and spilling fourth around him is not affected.] [20:10:11] [The only remaining abomination withdraws from Mari and Loharath, running through the pool of mist... only to have a solidifying spike of it impale him from groin to skull.] [20:11:02] [The mist-creature tilts his head at the mutant-hobgoblin, suspended by the mist of a moment, before turning back to the party, letting the spike of mist unsolidify, wafting back down into the pool as the dolgaunt drops.] [20:13:58] [He casually steps foward, unfolding his double-body-length arms with their three elbow joints, and then suddenly, he's among you.] [20:14:28] * Loharath is now known as Charles [20:14:35] * Charles is now known as Loharath [20:15:25] "Waah rasta! Dat be a khlkevah move on ya part mon!" [20:15:27] [The abyssal gaze of his chest stuns all of you into awe as you're lost in the unfathomable depths inside him.] [20:16:37] * NovaSeaker changes topic to 'Init Order: Loharath, Phanos, Mist-creature, Mari, Mauz, Aurora' [20:18:51] [Mari, go. Can't make any attack on the mist-creature.] [20:19:57] * Marianysa tightens her grip on her swords, her knuckles whitening as she stares at the mist creature. "You! I'm...for Aurelis, I'm gonna kill you." [20:23:55] [Mauz's Turn] [20:24:25] * Mauz trembles for a moment... but he remembers himself and quickly unleashes his mirror image trick again. "Not this time!" [20:27:16] * ... and then he falters, and the images promptly flicker out. "... shit." [20:31:22] [Aurora's Turn] [20:31:49] * Marianysa places a hand on Loharath's sword, causing it to glow faintly. [20:33:21] [Loharath's Turn] [20:34:24] * Aurora focuses and chants a prayer. Waves of purity guide everyone. [20:34:35] * Loharath sheathes his wakizashi and concentrates, as the flame around his katana glows to a greater proportion than ever before [20:35:20] [Phanos's Turn] [20:35:30] * Phanos sends the ball of wind rolling towards the mists, rolling it over the edges and in towards him like a magnet to a steel bearing, stepping out of the mists and sending his dogs in front the man, jaws dripping sap and blood.. "I be ready soon to be makin ya feel unpleasantries, mon." [20:37:53] [The mist fails to part at the ball of gale-force winds, behaving nothing like normal mist should. Instead the creature's eyes close and his chameleon, separately-moving eyes suddenly focus on Phanos as he tries to leave the area of the un-mist.] [20:39:36] "Get dat mon wot attack ya boy!" [20:39:42] The dogs attack! [20:40:15] [] [20:40:35] [The awing affect is shattered as a spike of mist solidifies through Phanos's thigh. Everyone is capable of hurting this monster now.] [20:45:26] [Standing where he his, the mist creature unravels his grotesque arms and begins direct the mists with them, to attack indescriminately.] [20:45:29] "Get dat assfaces!" [20:48:14] [The mists rise up at Aurora and Loharath and it seems they managed not to get impaled by the grace of the Flame alone.] [20:48:42] [The creature's boney clubs at the end of his muscular tentacles smash into the marble floor, shattering tile.] [20:48:46] [Mari's Turn] [20:51:29] [Mauz's Turn] [20:52:00] * Marianysa swings furiously at the mist creature, but misses widely. [20:53:14] [Aurora's Turn] [20:53:28] [Mauz stands dumbfounded.] [20:59:50] * Phanos touches his own chest, hand glowing green with healing energy. His dogs once again snap at the now-flanked monster, the ball of wind bowling towards the creature, curving around mari and once again hitting it hard. [21:01:10] * Mauz trembles once more, visions of pain and torment dancing in his head. And then... he laughs. "This isn't the first time your kind have scarred me..." His arm comes up, and death and acid lash out at the creature. [21:08:03] [Loharath's Turn] [21:09:15] * Loharath makes a quick pass in front of his chest with his hands, charges, brushing past Mari, and swings his sword at the creature in a world-shattering arc. [21:10:06] [The shifty chameleon eyes of the creature focus on Loharath as he passes and a spike of mist tries to impale him.] [21:15:21] * Loharath swings through the creature once, then again on the backswing, and then pulls his sword back and thrusts it through the chest-eye as silver flame courses down the blade into the abberation [21:16:10] [The dark starscape of the monster fills with light, bursting out of his chest-eyes and mouth, and then he explodes.[ [21:18:12] * Loharath sheathes his sword. "I wish I could say something better about avenging Aurelis, but I can't really say I knew him." [21:18:26] "You show dat ting, mon! Good work goldy!" [21:18:48] ... I would like to leave. I would like to leave as quickly as humanly possible. Perhaps quicker. [21:18:51] Well, it's gone now... but this place is still operating. Should we finish the job? [21:18:56] * Phanos seems very beaten up [21:19:02] [The mist pool on the floor disappears in a wink, without fading or dissipating like normal mist.] [21:19:42] * Marianysa stares in amazement, then smiles. "Doesn't matter. You did enough. I hope...he can rest easy now." She sheathes her swords and wipes her eyes a bit. [21:19:44] How do we shut it down? Aside from destroying every member of the cult. [21:20:29] [There are bodies of 15 cult members at your feet.] [21:20:53] Maybe smash whatever weird equipment they're using to do this. [21:21:01] Unless we already did destroy every member of the cult. [21:21:02] Do what? [21:21:13] [The blaring of the alarm still screaches, making your conversation difficult.] [21:21:23] Make these weird mutants. [21:21:35] Or summon them, or hwatever. [21:21:45] Ugh.Let's smash that alarm, at least. [21:21:48] It's getting on my nerves. [21:21:59] ... shit. Shitshitshit. [21:22:08] We're leaving. We're leaving now. [21:22:35] * Mauz looks back and wastes absolutely no time in backtracking. "Just. Fucking. Trust me." [21:23:24] "Look mon, I got no mo moley hands fo today." [21:23:31] * Aurora follows along, at least for now. "Any particular reason why?" [21:23:42] "We cant go out dataway unless we sleep eah." [21:24:30] * Loharath follows Mauz. "Well, if we killed everything here, that might not be a bad option." [21:24:37] [The party follows Mauz back out to the large circular chamber with the shaft leading straight down to a river of lava hundreds of feet below.] [21:25:00] * Marianysa follows Mauz, looking a bit distracted. [21:25:08] * Phanos searches the bodies. [21:25:17] Just. TRUST. ME. [21:25:21] [From above the shaft, suddenly the air.. no the space of the room collapses in on itself.] [21:25:44] * Mauz has started to tremble pretty badly again, and the collapse doesn't seem to bother him nearly as much as it should. [21:25:49] [It abruptly snaps back, and levitating above the chamber is an emmaciated, thing figure in a leather body-tight robe.] [21:26:02] [A voice abruptly enters your heads.] [21:26:18] ] [21:26:38] "He not fo you." [21:26:56] [The creature levitating above you has a bulbous head with dull white eyes and four tentacles covering there a human's mouth and chin would be.] [21:27:05] [21:27:06] * Marianysa looks up, shocked. "Who the hell are you?!" [21:27:23] [21:27:51] "No mon, we dont tink so." [21:28:08] * Loharath growls. "Another abomination. You'll die like the rest!" [21:28:15] Like HELL. [21:28:18] ... [21:28:21] [21:28:29] * Mauz looks up. "... shit." [21:29:33] [Suddenly a wave of suppressive psychic force batters the party.] [21:32:51] [Mari, go] [21:33:41] I've had ENOUGH. You're going down, like the rest of them! [21:34:59] * Marianysa points the invisibilty wand at Mauz. [21:35:45] [21:35:50] [21:35:57] [Mari, Will save.] [21:36:14] * Mauz remains frozen in place, although it's not hard to see the look of anger/terror/disgust in his eyes. [21:38:17] [The tentacle-faced horror touches ground in front of Mari.] [21:40:52] [She is still as a statue after a second blast shuts down a part of her brain.] [21:41:07] [Loharath's Turn] [21:41:09] * Loharath breaks free, yelling at the top of his lungs. "Stay away from her! Who the hell do you think I am?!" [21:41:42] [The creatures bulbous eyes turn and focus on Loharath.] [21:42:50] * Loharath runs at the Mind Flayer, swords flaring with silver flame. "I'm the one who's going to kill you, for them!" He leaps into his attack [21:50:02] [A hideously high-pitched, undulating shriek emits from the creature, at odds with the deep-toned telepathic howl in your heads.] [A moment after the creature rights himself, the green-oozing slash through his torso begins to scab over and heal slightly.] [21:51:16] [The creature shifts up and backward from Loharath, levitating over the yawning shaft. He points a finger at Loharath's blade.] [21:51:47] * Loharath lifts his sword. "There's more, you squid-faced nothing!" [21:52:52] [The sword in Loharath's hand starts to glow a brilliant white as psychokinetic energy is poured into it, until the matter can no longer contain it, detonating. Loharath's sword shatters, washing destructive force over him.] [21:53:24] [Loharath's Turn] [21:55:41] * Loharath is taken aback momentarily, then composes himself, grinning lopsidedly. "That's a nice trick. Too bad my brain can do things too, squid." As Loharath concentrates, silver fire traces its way down his arms until his muscles are wreathed in holy flame. He runs at the Mind Flayer and grabs, as space warps around him. [21:58:51] [The mind flayer is *yanked* across a short spacial distortion into Loharath's grip.] [21:58:58] * Loharath grabs onto the mind flayer, legs wrapped around its body, hands holding back its head. "What the hell are you fighting for?!" [21:59:41] See them? See my friends? They're gonna save the world from fucks like you! If you're an obstacle in their path, I'm gonna burn you down! What the hell good are you?! [22:01:07] [22:01:26] [The creature narrows it's large bulbous eyes> [22:01:30] ] [22:01:32] I know you're going to burn! [22:02:14] DO YOU KNOW WHO THE HELL I AM?! [22:02:20] [Loharaht's Turn] [22:06:21] * Loharath wrestles the Mind Flayer out over the lava. "Actually, that's not important any more. See them? They're going to kill every last one of you! They're going to fuck every plan every one of your squid brains comes up with! They're going to make you glad you died today!" [22:07:43] * Loharath pauses briefly. "I'll see you guys in the Flame. DO YOU KNOW WHO THE HELL THEY ARE?!" [22:08:24] [The mind flayer's levitation effect holds out for a brief moment before they start plumetting toward the river of magma below.] [22:09:31] [A few moments after Loharath drags the mind flayer over the edge, the party is able to move again.] [22:10:08] ... [22:10:12] * Phanos rushes to the edge, peering over. [22:10:16] Dammit! [22:10:21] * Mauz drops to his knees. "... you... have got to be fucking kidding me." [22:10:41] "No mon, why ya gonna go do it like dat you metaledded bastard!" [22:10:59] "I ain't got no juju dat bring you back from dat!" [22:11:02] [Phanos reaches the edge just in time to see a blazing ball of white light hit the river, lost in the red.] [22:11:12] * Marianysa screams in horror. [22:12:23] * Marianysa rushes over to the edge. "LOHARATH!" [22:12:25] * Phanos sighs, tears beginning to run down his face and dissolving from the heat before they even get close to falling. [22:13:26] [Drifting upward on the current of hot air, Mari catches sight of Loharath's fancy cape.] [22:14:06] ... you *FUCKER*! How's I supposed to pay you back now?! [22:14:38] N-no... [22:14:45] I...didn't seethat... [22:14:45] * Phanos stands up, turning to face Mauz. "You HAD to try an go out dis way, ya? Even though aint noting dere but solid rock." [22:14:47] [It must have been torn free as Loharath struggled to keep the monster from escaping as they fell.] [22:15:37] "No mon, it his fault, Im supposin. Dem mens done tok you apaht, I wouldna wan go deepah in eidah no." [22:16:03] * Marianysa reaches for the cape, tearing up. [22:16:42] * Phanos walks up to Mari, putting a hand on her shoulder. He casts Spectral Hand if the cape gets too far away, catching it and bringing it back. [22:17:47] [The cape rises into Mari's reach.] [22:19:57] * Marianysa grabs hold of the cape and holds it tightly. "Why does everyone have to...keep leaving?" She starts to sob. [22:20:34] "Boy tink he belive in de burny snake, ya? He join de flame." [22:21:53] ... we should go. [22:22:06] * Mauz stands up. "Really. We should go. Now." [22:22:15] Yeah... [22:22:47] * Phanos looks to Mari. "Vulchah tell me a lil part of him now resides in de part of ya chest dat feel numb, girl. Dats wat he say." [22:23:33] * Marianysa doesn't answer. [22:24:40] * Phanos pulls out a few scrolls, just in case he'd exhaust his spellcasting capability, and gives everyone moley hands. [22:27:16] [The crew makes their way out the way they came, and comes out into the partially excavated entrance to the Citadel. Where a group of warforged with digging tools are standing around.] [22:27:21] [Session End.] [22:27:25] * Phanos clears his throat. "Keep the pain, Marianysa. It will not be easily departing. Loharath gave his life so that we might live and do things that would make him proud to have died for us. I for one intend to do something positive because of his valiant efforts."
