You have just entered room "Castle Grym."

Dark Japheth: Dream first then awakening and official scene.

Dark Japheth: What does Landus dream about?

Dark Japheth: >.>

AndrewRogue: Eh... what time period would this be?

Dark Japheth: Before Caradoc goes back to Tamerand.

AndrewRogue: Hmm... what would Land-y dream about?

Dark Japheth: Presumably after Skocion's little rant about Gix Azoth.

AndrewRogue: A less ugly color for starters.

AndrewRogue: <.<

Dark Japheth: My guess is naturally a clown, with a demonic smile, offering balloons.

AndrewRogue: That works <.<

Dark Japheth: Actually

Dark Japheth: Why the hell am I asking YOU

Dark Japheth: PEOPLE DON'T DECIDE THEIR OWN DREAMS

AndrewRogue: Good point.

AndrewRogue: Quit being a lazy-fuck GM <.<

AndrewRogue: Make up my dream bitch.

Dark Japheth: You are standing in what looks like a field... a vast field, of roses.

AndrewRogue: (AHAHAHAHA)

AndrewRogue: (GORTH'D)

Dark Japheth: A greatsword of red color sits upon a mans back, and he sits there holding the sword in two hands, one on the blade, making it parallel with the ground.

Dark Japheth: He is sitting cross legged.

Dark Japheth: The man is dressed in what looks like black armor, and his coat of arms is a golden longsword, point down. His helm is off. White hair, nearly waist length, blows in the wind very dramatically.

AndrewRogue: (A shame this is prior to figuring out the meaning of that CoA)

Dark Japheth: (CoA? Woah)

AndrewRogue: (Coat of Arms)

Dark Japheth: (Hm, it can be after)

Dark Japheth: (*figured out CoA is LAZY for COAT OF ARMS*)

AndrewRogue: (<.<)

Dark Japheth: Knowledge- Nobility and Royalty, or History. Or in your case, just an int check.

*OnlineHost*: AndrewRogue rolled 1 999-sided die: 615

AndrewRogue: ...

Dark Japheth: No. :P

Dark Japheth: Try a REAL dice.

Dark Japheth: *die

*OnlineHost*: AndrewRogue rolled 1 20-sided die: 16

AndrewRogue: 18

Dark Japheth: Oddly, a name, Maleda'zza pops in. No, thats not right. Maldez? EXXON MALDEZ? No, you don't know.

Dark Japheth: He suddenly stands up, and begins running through the field. He's seen someone in his field of roses, and his black armor protects him from the thorns.

Dark Japheth: He rushes to her, and holds her in his arms. You do not hear him, but SOMETHING inside you tells you that the word he utters is "Laura..."

Dark Japheth: Your vision pans around, and you see the two lovers embracing in a hug. ...and one of them... is Skocion.

Dark Japheth: The one in Armor.

AndrewRogue: Not the woman?

Dark Japheth: and then silently, your eyes open, and in your room, in the corner, with a single candle lit and a book opened, is Caradoc. Who is reading.

Dark Japheth: ASTONISHINGLY NOT THE WOMAN.

Dark Japheth: :P

AndrewRogue: Coulda fooled me at times.

Dark Japheth: Anyway, she hasn't noticed you've woken up.

AndrewRogue: *rolls over and sits up, stretching his wings out* "Well hello there."

Dark Japheth: She jumps. "Oh. Hey Landus." She smiles. "Did I wake you up? I'm sorry."

AndrewRogue: *stretches out a bit* "Not really. Eh heh... kinda dark to read in here though, ain't it?"

Dark Japheth: She looks at you. "Well. Thats why I brought the candle." Smiling.

Dark Japheth: (....Cara 1, Landus 0)

AndrewRogue: "You gotta a point. But one would figure its lighter in the library, y'know."

Dark Japheth: "...Ok. Let me explain."

Dark Japheth: "My room is next to yours."

Dark Japheth: "My room is filled with devices used to torture sentient prisoners."

Dark Japheth: "Your room is not."

Dark Japheth: "I do not know where the library is and do not wish to search for it alone."

AndrewRogue: "...you raise a good point."

Dark Japheth: "Thus the only solution I could come to is that to read my book and not be surrounded by a miasma of death and torturous pain, I should come in here."

Dark Japheth: She smiles. "Of course I do. I'm an Atrox. I never lose in debate."

Dark Japheth: "Even if I'm obviously lying." She laughs.

AndrewRogue: *he chuckles*

AndrewRogue: "I take it you're gonna be going back to the Inn when Skoc finally lets us outta this hell hole?"

Dark Japheth: "I don't know yet, Landus." She looks down at her book. "I can't help you guys. WHatever my insane brother has in mind, it doesn't involve me past this point."

Dark Japheth: "And I don't want to waste the education you've paid for."

Dark Japheth: "...But I somehow feel almost like I belong here, Landus."

AndrewRogue: *she shrugs* "It does seem to be Skoc's home for whatever the hell reason he has it is. Some seriously messed up shit this is turning into. Bet, eh heh, what can you do I suppose. I do gotta agree on that point though.

AndrewRogue: Whatever you do decide on, going around with us is not a good idea. You ain't cut for it."

Dark Japheth: "Neither are you." She speaks the next line a little low, almost to the point you can't hear it but you do cuz I'm not gunna make this hinge on a listen check

Dark Japheth: "Landus... too many things are happening to Skocion. He is not a good person... and this world, though cruel to good, is even crueler to evil."

Dark Japheth: "Something is going to cut his pride from him, violently."

AndrewRogue: "Oh that I got no doubt about. Boss is pushing it lately. Tangling with that fucking lizard was stupid enough. Woulda broken me in half had it been quick enough to hit me."

AndrewRogue: "Hell, I'm surprised it didn't do a better job on him."

Dark Japheth: She nods. "So am I."

Dark Japheth: "It would only have killed Skocion, though. And taken the rest of us prisoner."

AndrewRogue: "You got an unplesantly realistic point." *he strethces out* "I'm starting to worry about my ass."

Dark Japheth: "Why? Its not half bad." She laughs. "You seem to work out."

AndrewRogue: "I do try. But it doesn't quite save one from being crushed by various heavy things." *he grins*

Dark Japheth: "That is true."

AndrewRogue: "But 'ey. What can I say. I think I still have some buisness to tie up, and boss seems to end up getting tangled in all this shit that I gotta figure out and what not."

Dark Japheth: "I feel the same way. Though he deserves it, I do not want my brother to be punished. It... I don't know. I just don't want him to be hurt."

Dark Japheth: Sense motive, if you want it.

AndrewRogue: Sure. I like being able to make it <.<

*OnlineHost*: AndrewRogue rolled 1 20-sided die: 12

AndrewRogue: 30~ish if I recall correctly.

AndrewRogue: 31 for exactness.

Dark Japheth: She doesn't care about Skocion. Not really. She's concerned about someone else.

Dark Japheth: Gee I hate your high sense motive

AndrewRogue: Shouldn't have given me neat bonuses.

AndrewRogue: <.<

AndrewRogue: "Actually it really doesn't bother you."

Dark Japheth: She looks up, her face red. "How dare you say that."

AndrewRogue: "Eh heh... sorry."

AndrewRogue: "Spend too much time reading faces and voices."

AndrewRogue: "But you really oughtn't lie about some things. Your brother is a grade A ass-hole. I'm not the only one a lil' screwed in the karmic department."

Dark Japheth: "You aren't screwed, Landus. You are... different than the others."

AndrewRogue: "Eh heh... way too many people say that. Maybe I am a bit different than them, but that doesn't exactly make me a saint or whatever.

AndrewRogue: "

AndrewRogue: "Blah blah. Didn't even really care when Niniel went pop. S'not a particularly good sign when one talks about morals and all that."

Dark Japheth: She senses motive

*OnlineHost*: Dark Japheth rolled 1 20-sided die: 16

Dark Japheth: 17!

AndrewRogue: Uhm... want bluff?

AndrewRogue: Or do we just wanna call it self denial and let you decide.

Dark Japheth: You tell me. :P

AndrewRogue: I call it self denial <.<

Dark Japheth: Ok. She doesn't notice.

Dark Japheth: "Niniel did horrible things to you, and you didn't care when she died? Not even a smile?"

AndrewRogue: "I guess there was... I dunno. Satisfaction maybe. She deserved it. But... eh. What the fuck. Didn't really do a lick of good to see her dead. Hells it... Fuck. She's dead. Whatever."

Dark Japheth: She sits down on the bed next to you. "Do you want to talk about it, Landus?"

AndrewRogue: *he looks a bit frustrated* "The stupid bitch. Y'know, I felt sorry for that bull-shit story she worked up?"

Dark Japheth: She puts her arm around your shoulder. "She was a liar and a cheat, Landus."

AndrewRogue: "It doesn't matter. Dammit. Even Jeanne saw right through that fucking facade and here I was blinded because I felt so fucking sorry for that SOB story."

Dark Japheth: She leans against you. "Its ok, Landus. Children have insight, sometimes."

AndrewRogue: *he strikes baseboard with a fist* "That doesn't matter. I should have at least paid more attention to what she said. I've sat around and read every gods damned face except the ONE that mattered." *he unclenches his

AndrewRogue: hand and breathes for a moment* "Bah. Whatever. She's dead. Jeanne's in heaven and happy. Everything's all for the better and whatever tripe the doctrines of gods tell ya."

Dark Japheth: Caradoc nods, and sighs. She begins to gently rub one of your wings. "Do you feel any better?"

Dark Japheth: (...I hate Caradoc. :P)

AndrewRogue: (*snickers*) *he sighs* "Yeah. Thanks. Eh heh... being underground like this is making 'em cramp up."

AndrewRogue: (That should be one in response to her asking feel better, and one as a generic thanks <.<)

Dark Japheth: "You know, there are open caverns and such. In fact, Castle Grym is about two hundred feet below the ceiling of the cave.'

AndrewRogue: "Eh? Well then, that might have to suffice. Still ain't the sky, but its better than being grounded for however long we're down here. Eh heh..."

Dark Japheth: "You must feel terribly claustrophobic down here."

AndrewRogue: "Eh heh..." *that one is a little more unsure* "It ain't so bad as long as I stay in the castle and think of it like that. What though? Doesn't bother you knowing we're under all this rock?"

Dark Japheth: "It does bother me. I can only imagine it to you."

AndrewRogue: "All right Cara. I yeild. You found my weakspot. Fucking driving me to distraction to be down here thinking there's about a mile a' rock between me'n the sky." *he grins* "But hey. Let's keep it a secret eh? The

AndrewRogue: frog would never let me live it down."

Dark Japheth: "I promise." She smiles. "I don't have an equivalent secret to tell you, I don't think. Anything you want to know?"

Dark Japheth: "I don't want to be thought of as someone who doesn't express a desire for free trade of information."

Dark Japheth: (yay, I have anti-riaa NPC's!)

AndrewRogue: "Eh... yeah. How you ended up so much nicer than your brother.:

AndrewRogue: *"

Dark Japheth: "...and you ask the one question I can't answer."

AndrewRogue: *shrugs* "Ah well. Worth a shot I guess. But eh, what's it matter. Guess its enough that you are and everything. Don't let Skoc corrupt you, eh?"

Dark Japheth: She laughs. "Alright. You should probably get back to sleep." She stands up, and goes to get her book.

AndrewRogue: "Eh... you wanna sleep in here tonight? I forgot how much that room bothered you."

AndrewRogue: "At least all it is here is a bothersome smell."

Dark Japheth: She nods. "Thank you, Landus, for giving me permission for something I was going to do anyway." Smile.

AndrewRogue: *he chuckles and...* (How large is this bed and all that?)

Dark Japheth: King Size.

Dark Japheth: OMg Yay

AndrewRogue: (Nice bed.)

Dark Japheth: Grym was always well equipped.

AndrewRogue: *...he politely adjusts so that there is room on the bed for her*

Dark Japheth: And she goes, and blows out the candle, then lays down, and will sleep.

AndrewRogue: *looks over at the girl and sighs... then goes to sleep as well*

Dark Japheth: Yay

Dark Japheth: How much XP to your next level?

Dark Japheth: 300 XP or +1 to empathy. :P

AndrewRogue: 3,300

AndrewRogue: I'll take the empathy <.<

AndrewRogue: It amuses me.

Dark Japheth has left the room.
