You have just entered room "Rivas Kul wants YOU."

AndrewRogue: Those bastards.

SergentDunn: hello

Adm H Sopko: My next NPC = A one legged dog named "Lil' Brudder"

Dark Japheth: You see, DBM's old character is teh STRONGEST MORTAL that has ever existed in Amaryllis

Dark Japheth: .....he's a champion

Adm H Sopko: Coo

DarkBirdMan: And they still won that encounter in about 3 rounds, from what I recall you telling me.

Dark Japheth: No, they didn't win.

Dark Japheth: For one, they didn't kill you.

Dark Japheth: For two, they also were... what was that? Yes, right, horrifically twinked beyond all human comprehension

DarkBirdMan: Well, no. That was meant to be difficult, though. ;-)

DarkBirdMan: But they totally thwarted evil plan #241.

Dark Japheth: Sahkmet delayed the development of further plans.

Chromeus18: my fortune for tonight: You are a gentleman of outstanding wisdom. aka: now you know not to eat at this shitty chinese place anymore.

SergentDunn: brb

SergentDunn has left the room.

AndrewRogue: XD

DarkBirdMan: Damn straight.

Dark Japheth: I don't think he's coming back.

Dark Japheth: :P

Dark Japheth: Thank the lords above.

AndrewRogue: *sheaths knife*

AndrewRogue: It is done Lord Gorth.

Dark Japheth: Anyway. I will eat dinner shortly, which makes me sad although filled with happy peas and salad

Dark Japheth: Mmmm

DarkBirdMan: Peas are not happy.

Chromeus18: it's rude to demand a game that you're not even in

DarkBirdMan: They're small, green, and sour. How can they be happy?

Dark Japheth: They are if you eat your peas with honey.

Dark Japheth: I've done it all my life.

Dark Japheth: It makes my peas taste funny

Dark Japheth: But it keeps them on my knife.

AndrewRogue: That's the arsenic!

AndrewRogue: ^_^

AndrewRogue: You'll excuse me. I'm feeling homicidal tonight.

Dark Japheth: What happened if you don't mind me asking?

DarkBirdMan: These things happen. I'm feeling fluey.

Chromeus18: what land are you from, where your peas are sour?

AndrewRogue: Nothing really.

AndrewRogue: I just feel homocidal.

Dark Japheth: This is good.

Dark Japheth: And Andrew, I need your awesome expertise.

Chromeus18: he's having a sociopathic streak

Dark Japheth: Who sung the song "Awful Beautiful Life"?

Dark Japheth: And I also need the artist for "Amazed by you"

AndrewRogue: Three moments please.

Dark Japheth: Certes.

DarkBirdMan: I'm from New York. We've been over this.

Dark Japheth: Heh.

Adm H Sopko: Where in NY?

DarkBirdMan: Westchester.

Dark Japheth: ......Awesome.

Adm H Sopko: I'm in Ithaca right now.

Adm H Sopko: I'm originally from northern Passaic county NJ

DarkBirdMan: I've also got a weird taste disorder, which may explain the sour peas.

DarkBirdMan: Spiffy. My best friend goes to college at Ithaca.

Adm H Sopko: Cool. Whats his name?

DarkBirdMan: Jarod Cerf.

Adm H Sopko: Hmm... don't know him

AndrewRogue: Amazed By You = Lonestar

Dark Japheth: lmao

Dark Japheth: Ok.

DarkBirdMan: I ain't shocked. Still, figured I'd mention.

Dark Japheth: Oh and Andrew.

Dark Japheth: You need to update your site. :P

AndrewRogue: Darryl Worley is Awful Beautiful Life

Dark Japheth: Preferably while I eat. So I can read your world document

Chromeus18: there is only ONE man, who would DARE give me the raspberry~

Dark Japheth: Awesome.

Dark Japheth: Lonestar has an awesome song- Mr Mom

AndrewRogue: *raises hand*

Dark Japheth: So funny.

Adm H Sopko: LONESTAR

Adm H Sopko: ::Gets hit by the camera::

AndrewRogue: God damnit. My finger hurts.

Dark Japheth: *crosses Space Balls of list of cult films to reference*

Dark Japheth: SHUT UP PF

AndrewRogue: ...

Adm H Sopko: Heh

Adm H Sopko: Naughty Andy

AndrewRogue: ...

Chromeus18: light speed's too slow! we'll have to go right to... LUDICROUS SPEED.

Chromeus18: gasp Gasp GASP!

Adm H Sopko: What the hell was that?

Dark Japheth: Next on the list- Mallrats.

Adm H Sopko: Spaceball 1... they've gone to PLAID

Adm H Sopko: Mallrats is taken for the next AND session

AndrewRogue: Oh?

DarkBirdMan: http://mywebpages.comcast.net/billre mig/sniper_kitten.jpg

Dark Japheth: ...Fine, then Jersey Girl, since I'm one of approximately six human beings who has actually seen that movie.

Dark Japheth: That cat = hardcore

Adm H Sopko: Hunter has a certain line I want him to say when he first reenters the Yarovan building

AndrewRogue: ...that is the cutest kitten ever.

AndrewRogue: Ah. Well I will remain in suspense then.

Dark Japheth: If we want to do AND sometime, its gunna have to be tonight or tomorrow.

Adm H Sopko: Tonight

Adm H Sopko: I have hockey practice and a paper to write tomorrow

Dark Japheth: Bug Alex then. :P

Dark Japheth: I *can* do it friday but thats *really* iffy

AndrewRogue: OH! Speaking of Soppy, Aria has a plan considering Alex has done everything just short of go "Raiding WNL is fucking suicide you dumbass."

Dark Japheth: seeing as I leave at 4:00 AM on saturday.

AndrewRogue: Psh.

Dark Japheth: Whats the plan?

Dark Japheth: Zao-Lot is willing to help to compensate for the roadburn he delivered.

Dark Japheth: brb food

AndrewRogue: She attempts to use political power to get Verity out. Or at least help us see where he's being kept.

Chromeus18: you guys are still in Whittyre?

coughingpuppy: Yes.

Adm H Sopko: No

AndrewRogue: We'll be going back. We're technically in Pescobnet.

coughingpuppy: Well, in Perenolde now, technically.

Adm H Sopko: We're in Pernolde

AndrewRogue: Er... yeah.

AndrewRogue: The other P.

coughingpuppy: It's Penobscot, by the way, Andrew. :-P

Adm H Sopko: We actually made it to Hunter's house finally

Chromeus18: has Andy ever pronounced that right? :P

AndrewRogue: Never.

AndrewRogue: And I never will.

Chromeus18: Pecobsnot!

Adm H Sopko: Whats the plan?

Chromeus18: Pecansbot

Chromeus18: Pianoforte

Sarcazmo47 has entered the room.

Sarcazmo47: Holy crap!

Chromeus18: game is already over dude :P

AndrewRogue: Well I chatted with Alex. And apparently General is an uber awesome position in Gelendar.

Chromeus18: we killed the murderers, and hopped a boat to Nagukor

Sarcazmo47: Awsome.

AndrewRogue: Yep.

DarkBirdMan: Also, hoo-hah!

Sarcazmo47: I aigree.

AndrewRogue: Since Aria is supposed to be = General Daughter and leader of the Investigation thing, that should in theory give her awesome political weight.

Sarcazmo47: ...

Adm H Sopko: Heh

Sarcazmo47: It should?

AndrewRogue: So... we speak with the council pretend this is the situation and try to at least SEE Verity, if not outright (unlikely) hand him to our authority.

Sarcazmo47: Don't you mean that it should give her father awsome political weight?

AndrewRogue: Shh <_<

AndrewRogue: Alex said it gives her weight too.

Sarcazmo47: SHe's gaining weight?

Sarcazmo47: Too much chocolate, I suppose.

Adm H Sopko: I would like to know what Tarin's been doing

AndrewRogue: So would I.

Adm H Sopko: Aria has a ghetto booty now

AndrewRogue: XD

Chromeus18: shake that ass, watch yourself

Adm H Sopko: A badonkadonk, if you would

Sarcazmo47: So, mister bird man. Is your diviner all ready to rock and roll? And stuff?

DarkBirdMan: Pretty much.

DarkBirdMan: I even have a spiffy wagon to ride around in.

AndrewRogue: Let's kill him!

AndrewRogue: And loot the corpse!

AndrewRogue: <.<

AndrewRogue: Wow. I lost the same file again.

AndrewRogue: Gorth is going to kill me.

Sarcazmo47: What did you lose?

AndrewRogue: The intro thing for the DAoA page.

AndrewRogue: He's had to write it twice now because I lost it.

Adm H Sopko: ...

Adm H Sopko: Heh

AndrewRogue: Found it!

Chromeus18: i have it in case you lose it.

AndrewRogue: Heh

AndrewRogue: I really wish I hadn't cut my finger open with scissors. Its annoying.

Chromeus18: i think gorth's stuff just likes to disappear, like Capuchin's character sheet.

Chromeus18: Capuchin's Character Sheet: NINJA VANISH!

Dark Japheth: I'm back.

Dark Japheth: Dude, that wasn't even remotely cool.

Adm H Sopko: THE CAPUCHIN NEVER FORGETS

AndrewRogue: It was horribly funny at some levels.

AndrewRogue: <.<

Dark Japheth: I bet it was.

Adm H Sopko: Although her player might lose her character sheet

Dark Japheth: Did you find the file>

Dark Japheth: Yous aid HER

Dark Japheth: said HER

Dark Japheth: YOU BASTARD YOU LIED TO ME

Dark Japheth: ANyway

Dark Japheth: Gorth style recap.

Dark Japheth: Last game was a standard gorth session

Dark Japheth: By which I mean

Dark Japheth: They examined dead beings of strangeness

AndrewRogue: Clearly he was on drugs when it happened?

Dark Japheth: Said "Hmm, thats weird."

Dark Japheth: Will saves to avoid drinking blood were had

Dark Japheth: They put the Skull of the old man they see in dreams on Krists head.

Dark Japheth: He was like - "OMG PWN AWESOME"

Dark Japheth: And he even got a new skin

Dark Japheth: His wrath and rage were exhibited when Skocion explained to him that he thinks he's but a puppet.

Dark Japheth: And he was like *slurps up blood*

Dark Japheth: Skocion- "..Thats not cool."

Dark Japheth: Krist- "Something tastes funny."

Dark Japheth: Skocion- "Thats because before I lost my memory, I think I was a clown."

Dark Japheth: Krist- "Oh, ok." *rips off helmet, dealing some damage cuz it was attached to his face*

Dark Japheth: They say "Hmm. You know what? Lets *talk* to the skull."

Dark Japheth: Random Guy on street- "That never works. FUcking retards- skulls don't talk, ever."

Dark Japheth: Me- "I'm gorth, and I've had enough psychadelic experiences to prove otherwise!" The skull says Hi

Dark Japheth: They have tea, and scones.

Dark Japheth: The skull speaks in ISEETHERATSIDIDNOTEATTHATMAN speak

DarkBirdMan: (Give me a few levels, and the skull will talk.)

Dark Japheth: They also say "Holy what the shit."

Dark Japheth: Skocion- "Who was my father?"

Dark Japheth: And the skull responds by GORTHING them

Dark Japheth: Dream sequence is symbolically had

Dark Japheth: Where Scratch, clad in robes far richer than any he's ever worn, with an insane grin and lots of sharp pointy teeth, berates a man named Adrian for having an affair.

Dark Japheth: And asks what he's going to do.

Dark Japheth: The PC's say "WTF who is Adrian"

Dark Japheth: Skocion-"I have ranks in Knowledge- Useless Shit! I'll make a check!"

Dark Japheth: They discover his name was Adrian Heolstrom, the firstborn child of Evrain and Emily.

Dark Japheth: Skocion - "Well SHIT."

Dark Japheth: Chrome- "I knew it before you told me because you gave out a million clues! And I have Lan's eyes."

Dark Japheth: Skocion designs a new symbol, a coat of arms so to speak- a bastards coat of arms, consisting of the Heolstroms Black Dragon and golden greatsword held by a gauntleted and bloody fist

Dark Japheth: and most importantly, he replaces the longsword with an Ankh facing right, and made of gold.

Chromeus18: I have Amaryllis-sense(Su)

Dark Japheth: He speaks with his old man mentor, Scratch, who says "Omg wtf pwn"

Dark Japheth: People talk about Krists backstory and sidequest

Dark Japheth: and they want him to go light side like canderous so they decide to kill Jagi. I mean the guys who killed his family.

Dark Japheth: They get to Rivas Kul through a convenient underground tunnel.

Dark Japheth: And are approximately an hour's walk from the Bazaar of Wonders.

Chromeus18: *applauds*

Dark Japheth: And the residence of gorth's pet NPC.

Dark Japheth: ~-~-~Begin Game~-~-~

AndrewRogue: (Website updated. That's all I'm doing tonight, for my head hurts.)

Dark Japheth: ay

Chromeus18: Krist is slowly walking towards Rivas Kul.

Dark Japheth: (Andrew hurts my soul.)

AndrewRogue: *Landus is flapping, for being cooped underground makes him unhappy* (:p)

Chromeus18: Playing that hideous .mpeg of his brother's death in his mind with each step.

Dark Japheth: Rivas Kul, as in the capital, or towards the Bazaar, which is a town on its own and a days travel from the capital?

Chromeus18: the actual capital

Chromeus18: unless someone needs to stop at the bazaar.

Chromeus18: and if they do I Eat Their Face

AndrewRogue: No. Not really.

Sarcazmo47: Nope.

Chromeus18: Ri?

DarkBirdMan: (Random neat stuff: http://www.sacbee.com/24hour/nation/ story/1675659p-9435740c.html)

Dark Japheth: (Story moved or deleted)

DarkBirdMan: (Bizarre. It's about the Red Baron having a brain injury from a bullet that grazed his scalp and made him crazy.)

DarkBirdMan: (This led to his death.)

Chromeus18: assuming Ri says no, we continue on to the capital.

Adm H Sopko: I'm just reading that too!

Adm H Sopko: Heh

Adm H Sopko: It's off Yahoo though

DarkBirdMan: (Link it for folks, then, if mine won't work.)

Adm H Sopko: http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=sto ry&cid=519&ncid=519&e=9&u=/ap/2004 0922/ap_on_re_us/red_baron_s_brain

Dark Japheth: Slightly in the distance, you see a caravan, literally- about three wagons, all pulled by horses. Its a little ways up, and also conveniently headed towards teh capital.

Chromeus18: caravan'd!

AndrewRogue: *Landus points that out in seeing eye harpy way*

Chromeus18: "Yes, it's a caravan. So what?"

Chromeus18: in approaching, do we catch up with it?

Chromeus18: (or is everyone currently reading red baron?)

Chromeus18: (i smell LESBIANS)

DarkBirdMan: (I'm quite done, actually, and waiting.)

Dark Japheth: In approaching, you will. Slowly. You'll actually conveniently be around the same area as them by nightfall.

Chromeus18: then I suppose we rub elbows for a moment!

Chromeus18: or uhh.. is anyone there?

AndrewRogue: (Sorry. I'll pay more attention in just a minute.)

AndrewRogue: *Landus finally quits his damnable flying to rest his wings* "We putting up for the night already?"

Sarcazmo47: Sorry.

Sarcazmo47: Had to mow the lawn.

Sarcazmo47: So.

Sarcazmo47: Caravan.

Chromeus18: (....mow the lawn? it's 11:pm here, so it can only be 8pm at the earliest for you.)

Sarcazmo47: Quite so.

Sarcazmo47: Don't ask.

Sarcazmo47: I

Chromeus18: i won't

Sarcazmo47: I'm annoyed about it already.

Sarcazmo47: Caravan!

Dark Japheth: I for one am sad.

Chromeus18: Krist moves to walk right on past the caravan, he has his VENGEANCE to seek.

Sarcazmo47: Quite so!

Chromeus18: He takes a cursory glance at the driver just to do so though.

Dark Japheth: Its a random gypsie looking dude.

DarkBirdMan: (Nothing doing. I've just been informed I need to be off the computer in 10 minutes. Moving this thing to my room continues to seem a better idea.)

Dark Japheth: Think Vistani if you are into ravenloft shit.

Dark Japheth: (Good plan.)

Chromeus18: (do it DBM)

DarkBirdMan: (Takes rearranging our home network; not as good as it might be. Couldn't get it done tonight. I'ma just go now.)

DarkBirdMan has left the room.

Dark Japheth: The group will arrive in the capital by sunup.

Chromeus18: so.. we just walk on by the caravan :P

Sarcazmo47: Quite so.

Dark Japheth: A light drizzle continues to pour, as it always does in Rivas Kul.

Sarcazmo47: Man, someone needs to hit the off switch on that.

Chromeus18: Krist doesn't mind the water, but the cold stings.

AndrewRogue: *occasionally flaps his wings to dry them*

Sarcazmo47: *is rained on*

Chromeus18: so we get to town at sunup

Chromeus18: we'll stop if anyone else wants to though.

Sarcazmo47: I'm good.

AndrewRogue: So amI.

Sarcazmo47: Oh, the irony.

Dark Japheth: Heh

Dark Japheth: You are oddly not tired. Sleeping underground has fucked with your sleep schedule.

Chromeus18: Krist leads you into town. In the early morning, things are going like normal. He takes you through some side streets and alleyways, and into a particularly shady section of town.

AndrewRogue: "Just like home."

Chromeus18: He stops in front of a small tavern sandwiched between two larger buildings. And he stands there, looking at the ground silently.

Chromeus18: His breathing is rapid, and his eyes are tense, almost like he's trying to hold back tears.

Sarcazmo47: Skocion clears his throat.

Chromeus18: "We need to track down.. Thrax Shilmin. Anyone have any ideas besides asking around?"

Sarcazmo47: "I have a few people I can ask."

Dark Japheth: (You can ask Melanie to Find the Path to him. :P)

Dark Japheth: (Is Skocion go for round two? :P)

Sarcazmo47: "Why don't you two...ah...do it your way, and I'll go find out what I can my way."

AndrewRogue: "Eh heh..."

Chromeus18: "P

Chromeus18: (a poked out eye tongue face)

Chromeus18: "Very well."

AndrewRogue: "That sounds fine to me." *nods and tightens the cloth around his forehead*

Sarcazmo47: Skocion nods. "I'll meet up with you here in, say, four hours?"

AndrewRogue: (And now my attention is full. I was discussing my essay with my roommate.)

Chromeus18: Krist goes into the tavern, and seats himself familiarly.

Dark Japheth: The bartender smiles. "Froggy! Hey. Its been a while."

Dark Japheth: "Saki again?"

AndrewRogue: *goes with him and does the standard lazing thing*

Chromeus18: Krist nods.

AndrewRogue: "So if you don't mind me asking Frog... what were you two doing here in the first place?"

Chromeus18: "I meant to return sooner, of course. I've been keeping myself busy recently."

Dark Japheth: You are handed a shotglass of Saki, a ferociously powerful alchoholic beverage.

AndrewRogue: (Ack... ignore that 'till he's done with barkeep <.<)

Chromeus18: "My brother and I frequented this pub. It's one of the finer establishments, despite the area."

AndrewRogue: "Eh heh... I meant the city in general. Personally, I wouldn't come here often."

Dark Japheth: He looks to the harpy. "How can I help you?"

AndrewRogue: "By getting me some half-way clean water."

Dark Japheth: "No need to be rude." he ges you a glass of clean water- rain water, apparantly- and hands it to you. He mutters under his breath.

Chromeus18: "This is the only city with routes to my homeland. Coming from there, we inevitably ended up here."

AndrewRogue: *he grins as he takes it* "Thank you." *sips from it* "Really huh? 'cause of the Bazaar and all that?"

Chromeus18: "My brother never really explained why we came to this continent, but he was a very cultured man. Likely he wanted to see the world."

Chromeus18: Krist sips his saki (Saki to me baby!)

AndrewRogue: *he nods* "Never understood that sentiment." (Ow.)

Adm H Sopko: (Sake... )

Dark Japheth: (.....Such punnery will not be tolerated!)

AndrewRogue: "So... you got any idea why these guys decided to kill him?"

Chromeus18: Krist quivers a bit. "No... And it took a black heart to betray a newcomer's trust such as Thrax did.."

Chromeus18: Krist looks to see if the bartender is listening.

AndrewRogue: "Hey, don't worry 'bout it Frog. We'll make them pay ten-fold. I've got some new stuff I'm looking forward to trying out."

coughingpuppy has left the room.

Chromeus18: so... is the bartender listening?

Chromeus18: "I appreciate it."

AndrewRogue: "So... how do we want to do this? Ask around? Play music until we piss someone off enough to try and kill us?"

Chromeus18: "I'd like to find him, and get it done with quickly. Before he finds me anyways.."

Chromeus18: "I'd rather we had the jump on him."

AndrewRogue: "If he came to find us, I'd say things would be easier." *he smirks* "But if you want to do it your way."

Sarcazmo47: And Skocion...eventually comes back.

Chromeus18: Krist finishes his saki, and a bitter expression crunches his face for a second. "My, that's good liquor."

AndrewRogue: "Eh heh."

Chromeus18: the bartender is gone :-(

Dark Japheth: Nuh uh.

Dark Japheth: The bartender refills your glass.

Dark Japheth: For service oriented NPC's, I don't mind if you guys do them once in a while.

Dark Japheth: Like... "The waiter brings me more food."

Dark Japheth: *shrugs*

AndrewRogue: (Shut up PF)

Chromeus18: well, i was gonna ask about Thrax :P

Dark Japheth: Ah

Dark Japheth: Then ok. The bartender turns to the harpy. "And you?"

AndrewRogue: "I'm content as can be."

Dark Japheth: "Thats good." he says without a flicker of emotion.

Chromeus18: "So.. has any of the old crew shown themselves around recently? Thrax, Jeeve?

Dark Japheth: "Thrax doesn't come here anymore, Froggy. Jeeve does, but only when he's gotten in a fight with his wife."

AndrewRogue: SM

*OnlineHost*: AndrewRogue rolled 1 20-sided die: 10

Dark Japheth: He sighs. "They have more angst than that one gay Marquis to the south."

Dark Japheth: He seems to be telling the truth, although slightly playing it up, implying they come here more often than they actually do.

Chromeus18: "Jeeve got married? I should congratulate him. Do you know where he lives?"

AndrewRogue: "Really don't come here that often, huh?"

Dark Japheth: "I don't, sadly. Thats not in my job description."

Dark Japheth: "I just serve the beer and listen."

Dark Japheth: He doesn't speak or acknowledge the harpy.

AndrewRogue: SM;d again

*OnlineHost*: AndrewRogue rolled 1 20-sided die: 15

AndrewRogue: 33

Dark Japheth: He's heard it before but doesn't remember.

Dark Japheth: Jesus fucking christ man

AndrewRogue: (<_<)

AndrewRogue: (Barkeeps are notorious liars.)

Chromeus18: "Well, if your job is to listen, then mayhaps you've heard of where he lives?"

Dark Japheth: "I have heard it, but I really don't recall it. I'm sorry."

AndrewRogue: "Any of his other friends come in here?"

Dark Japheth: "Yeah. That one guy, the one who dressed in black. Steven, I think."

Chromeus18: "Yes...Steven. How is he doing now?"

Dark Japheth: "He's... still the same. Still a thief. Still get complaints about him."

Dark Japheth: "Still pays his tabs."

AndrewRogue: "You know where he stays? Or how often he comes in?"

Chromeus18: "Some folks never change I guess. When does he usually show up? I wouldn't mind chatting up some of them."

Dark Japheth: "He's here once or twice a month, usually. Not very often at all."

Dark Japheth: "He is staying in the high temple, I think."

Dark Japheth: "Cut a deal with one of the girls in there, I think. I don't know."

Chromeus18: "I see. Perhaps I'll try and find him. Another drink before I go?"

Dark Japheth: He smiles, and pours your glass again.

Dark Japheth: Around here, I'm going to require a fort save.

Dark Japheth: Unless you aren't actually drinking it.

Chromeus18: dang

*OnlineHost*: Chromeus18 rolled 1 20-sided die: 10

Chromeus18: 19

Dark Japheth: You are exactly as drunk as you want to be, minimum tipsy.

Chromeus18: "So... Thrax hasn't been around at all?"

Dark Japheth: "Well, once in a while. He's off the liquor, so he usually just comes here to meet clients."

Chromeus18: "What business is he in?"

Dark Japheth: "Law, I think."

Dark Japheth: He shakes his head, laughing. "Lawyers are killers, man."

Chromeus18: "That's a nice change of profession, I suppose."

AndrewRogue: "Eh heh."

Chromeus18: "Do you know where I might find his office, so I can drop in and scay 'Hi'?"

Dark Japheth: "I don't. I wish I did. I don't have many legal disputes, not since my daughter became a priestess." He smiles as he polishes a glass as all barkeeps are wont to do.

Sarcazmo47: I don't suppose this place is also an inn?

Dark Japheth: No, sadly. It doesn't have the money for a second floor.

Sarcazmo47: HAH!

Dark Japheth: It does serve as the home of the barkeep.

Chromeus18: "I see." Krist finishes his drink. "I must meet a friend now, I'll try and be back more often." Krist leaves a handful of coins on the bar.

Dark Japheth: He smiles. "Thank you again, Frog. If you need anything, come back."

Dark Japheth: He scowls at Landus.

Dark Japheth: Grr.

Sarcazmo47: GRR!

Sarcazmo47: GIR!

AndrewRogue: *grins. Or shows his teeth. One of the two*

Chromeus18: "And if you see any of my old associates, don't tell them I'm back in town. I'd like it to be a surprise."

Dark Japheth: Why is there bacon in the soap?

Dark Japheth: "Alright, sir."

Sarcazmo47: I MADE IT MYSELF!

AndrewRogue: "Not the friendliest guy." *muttered*

Chromeus18: Krist exits! Hopefully Skocion is outside waiting.

Sarcazmo47: Oh, he's waiting.

Sarcazmo47: And grinning.

Sarcazmo47: Which, considering how long you've known him, you would guess is probably a bad sign.

Chromeus18: "Skocion. Have you learned anything?"

Sarcazmo47: Skocion laughs, nods, and flips a small capsule to Krist.

Chromeus18: "..What is this?"

Sarcazmo47: Antitoxin.

Sarcazmo47: Ack.

Sarcazmo47: "Antitoxin."

Chromeus18: "Oh.. Any reason?"

AndrewRogue: *tilts his head*

Sarcazmo47: "Your friend Thrax. About fifty years old, tiefling. He's currently a poisoneer, mage, and mercenary. He lives on the esteemed Gallbladder Road."

Chromeus18: "So, a precautionary measure... Thank you."

Sarcazmo47: "He makes his money as an assassin these days. He kills via magical disease."

Sarcazmo47: He tosses one to Landus as well.

Sarcazmo47: "Ingest it before we deal with him. It

Sarcazmo47: It'll help prevent you from contracting something fatal."

AndrewRogue: *shrugs and takes it*

Chromeus18: "That barkeep and his metaphors.."

Chromeus18: Krist pops his as well.

Chromeus18: "Well, let's go have a meeting with my old.. friend."

Sarcazmo47: "Do you mean to move immediately, then?"

Sarcazmo47: Skocion holds up a hand.

Chromeus18: "What is it?"

Sarcazmo47: "Perhaps it would be best to have Landus walk by, first. See if there are any windows, back doors...that kind of thing."

Sarcazmo47: "Then, he can go in the back while we go in the front."

AndrewRogue: "Eh heh... I think I can handle this."

Sarcazmo47: "Oh, I almost forgot. He's also an expert swordsman."

Chromeus18: Krist says nothing. "I suppose that's for the best.."

AndrewRogue: "Geeze. This guy's full of fun."

Sarcazmo47: "Be discreet."

AndrewRogue: "I always am."

Dark Japheth: Heh.

Chromeus18: "He could be a polymorphed dragon for all I care. Thrax's life ends today."

Chromeus18: (and... I'll brb)

AndrewRogue: (Why do I get the feeling this will be messy?)

Dark Japheth: (Poisoneers always have messy deaths.)

Dark Japheth: (I recommend nobody eat his corpse. I'm looking at YOU, Kirk.)

Sarcazmo47: (....?)

AndrewRogue: (For some reason that made me burst out laughing.)

Sarcazmo47: (When have I ever eaten a corpse?)

Sarcazmo47: (What, is he a cancer mage?)

Dark Japheth: (I dunno, it just sounded amusing.)

AndrewRogue: (And sense Chrome is gone, I wanna use the potty.)

AndrewRogue: (So I'm going to damnit.)

Sarcazmo47: Frankly, I'm fairly confident in my Fort save.

Dark Japheth: Then eat away.

Sarcazmo47: Heh.

AndrewRogue: I have returned.

Adm H Sopko: I picture this as another Harkan - Marissa incident

AndrewRogue: ...how?

AndrewRogue: I am not seeing how this ends with someone getting dumped.

Adm H Sopko: Strategic 1 in the right place

AndrewRogue: Ah.

Sarcazmo47: You've lost me.

Dark Japheth: Heh.

Adm H Sopko: Indeed

Adm H Sopko: Proceed

Dark Japheth: Well.

Dark Japheth: Let me put it this way

AndrewRogue: It... shouldn't happen though. My Curse of Cinema doesn't seem like it should happen tonight.

Dark Japheth: Andrew has a specialized Curse of Chrome

Dark Japheth: He gets 1's when it means the most dramatic action.

Sarcazmo47: Ahh.

Dark Japheth: Niniel's bluff versus his sense motive

Dark Japheth: His diplomacy check

Dark Japheth: Fort saves.

AndrewRogue: Aria going splat.

Sarcazmo47: Yeah...

Sarcazmo47: Those 1's did kinda slay Aria.

AndrewRogue: I seem to roll whatever makes for the most dramatic scene.

Sarcazmo47: Oh good!

AndrewRogue: It can be good.

AndrewRogue: Example- Aria vs Hold Person

Sarcazmo47: That...didn't actually wind up mattering, as I recall...

AndrewRogue: It didn't, but it was timed perfectly.

Adm H Sopko: Just one of my character has the Luck of Hunter

Adm H Sopko: Hunter, obviously

Adm H Sopko: Keith... it's been proven he doesn't

Adm H Sopko: Despite earlier it looking like it

Chromeus18: back

Dark Japheth: Alrighty.

Sarcazmo47: Are you ready for X-Strike action, Chrome?

AndrewRogue: Landus shall Ninja in the Night.

Dark Japheth: We are all back. Ready to infiltrate Thrax's little abode?

Dark Japheth: Which is little- only three rooms, one is the entire upstairs, the other two are an office in the back, and a small kitchen/dining room in the front.

Chromeus18: yesh

Chromeus18: and dammit, i was gonna eat his heart.

Dark Japheth: Goood. Do it. :P

Sarcazmo47: You'll be fine.

Sarcazmo47: You're built Frog tough.

AndrewRogue: Are there these backdoors/windows Skoc wanted Landy to find? And owwwwwwwwww. What's with puns tonight?

Chromeus18: so Landus is proceeding in like Solid Snake?

Sarcazmo47: Only with less shooting.

Dark Japheth: There is ONE door in the back, and a window on the top floor.

AndrewRogue: Is this door locked?

Dark Japheth: Yes,

AndrewRogue: Then Landus shall jumpkick through the window.

Chromeus18: (is the window 10 ft up?)

Sarcazmo47: ...

AndrewRogue: No. Actually he shall wait.

AndrewRogue: I'm kidding :p

Sarcazmo47: I was about to say.

Sarcazmo47: Madman.

AndrewRogue: He will wait till he can hear something and then bust in.

AndrewRogue: So *waits*

Sarcazmo47: And Skocion and Krist trundle along!

Sarcazmo47: Shall we try the front door?

Chromeus18: *trundles*

Chromeus18: yes, let's

Sarcazmo47: "Do you want to knock? Or would you rather just open it from the outside?"

Chromeus18: first, Krist listens at the door though

Chromeus18: unsuccessfully, of course, because of no ranks in listen.

*OnlineHost*: Chromeus18 rolled 1 20-sided die: 9

Chromeus18: 8!

Dark Japheth: There is nothing you hear.

Sarcazmo47: Knocking? Or smashing?

Chromeus18: Krist looks extemely tense.

Chromeus18: "I'll open it."

Sarcazmo47: Skocion grins and nods.

Sarcazmo47: And takes his glove off.

Chromeus18: Krist rappity raps on the door.

Dark Japheth: There is no response.

Chromeus18: Krist's eyes go feral, and he swings his scythe up, and power attacks the door for -4!

Chromeus18: is anyone in the streets watching? :P

Dark Japheth: Nope, not really.

Dark Japheth: The door slices open.

Chromeus18: then whack

Sarcazmo47: Welcome to Rivas Kul.

Dark Japheth: It is around noon, you know.

Sarcazmo47: ....

Sarcazmo47: It is?

AndrewRogue: ...

Dark Japheth: Yeah.

Sarcazmo47: News to me.

Sarcazmo47: Ah well.

AndrewRogue: ...er...we thought it was night time.

Chromeus18: oh well

AndrewRogue: Oh well.

Dark Japheth: I said that your sleep schedules were fucked up, and you weren't tired at sunrise. And between the bar, and finding information...

Sarcazmo47: Ah well.

Chromeus18: Krist enters, and Landus likely hears a noise :P

AndrewRogue: That's only the door. He waits for the cooler noises.

Chromeus18: (watch Landus roll 1's to open the door :P)

Dark Japheth: The house is perfectly ordered.

Dark Japheth: You are in the kitchen. You can go upstairs, or to the office.

Chromeus18: I peek in the kitchen, not really expecting to find him in there, but making sure no one else is in there.

Chromeus18: errr. office, not kitchen.

Dark Japheth: There isn't anyone in the office.

AndrewRogue: (Open the door and save me time <.<)

Sarcazmo47: Skocion wanders in.

Sarcazmo47: And opens the back door.

Dark Japheth: The door is opened.

Chromeus18: Krist heads up the steps!

Sarcazmo47: Skocion, for his part, starts to pen a note.

Dark Japheth: There is a neat and ordered bedroom. In the corner is a set of black, polished full plate.

AndrewRogue: *sighs and follows all ninja-y*

Dark Japheth: On the wall, in a display case, is a Kwondon. Basically, a quarterstaff with a scimitar attached to the end.

Chromeus18: Krist trembles, and scans the room for Thrax.

Dark Japheth: You don't see him.

Dark Japheth: There is a bed, and a small nighttable, with a spellbook open, and a journal next to it.

AndrewRogue: "Well. So much for a dramatic break-in."

Sarcazmo47: Skocion wanders in, finishing up a note.

Chromeus18: Krist walks in, and reads the journal.

Chromeus18: (*prepares to be Snake Sigiled!)

AndrewRogue: *wanders on downstairs to make sure the guest doesn't show up without them knowing*

Dark Japheth: ...Heh.

Dark Japheth: No, worse.

Dark Japheth: Make a reflex save.

Chromeus18: crap

*OnlineHost*: Chromeus18 rolled 1 20-sided die: 3

Chromeus18: yep. 9

Dark Japheth: Yeah.

Dark Japheth: Take.

*OnlineHost*: Dark Japheth rolled 5 6-sided dice: 4 3 4 4 3

Sarcazmo47: Exploding rune damage?

Dark Japheth: 18 fire damage.

Dark Japheth: Yes, exploding rune damage.

Dark Japheth: In the face.

Chromeus18: FIRE'D

Adm H Sopko: TRUMP'D

AndrewRogue: And does it explode noisily?

Sarcazmo47: Skocion buzzes in irritation, signs his note with a flourish, and deposits it on the table.

Chromeus18: Krist falls back, having been exploded. "Motherfucking.. of all the...."

Sarcazmo47: And when I say a flourish, I mean completely illegibly.

Chromeus18: "What's that note for?"

Sarcazmo47: "Don't mess with a poisoneer's personal posessions, Krist."

Dark Japheth: It makes no noise.

Sarcazmo47: "Come. He'll come looking for us at The Crystal Spider."

Sarcazmo47: "So it behooves us to be better at being unseen than he is."

Chromeus18: "...Right."

AndrewRogue: *then he just hangs out and waits*

Sarcazmo47: Skocion leads everyone out the back door.

Sarcazmo47: And puts his glove back on.

Chromeus18: icy note!

Sarcazmo47: And they head off into the maze that is the slums.

Sarcazmo47: "So."

Chromeus18: Krist knows his way around kinda. "So we prepare an ambush for him?"

Sarcazmo47: "I will go to the Crystal Spider, and wait. Landus, take this -" he hands Landus a Skin Of The Chameleon - "And be around. Don't be noticed."

AndrewRogue: (I have one <.<)

Sarcazmo47: Oh.

Sarcazmo47: Nevermind then.

Sarcazmo47: "Krist...."

Sarcazmo47: He looks at Krist appraisingly.

Sarcazmo47: "Come on. We're going to get you a disguise."

Chromeus18: "...If you insist."

Sarcazmo47: And Skocion buys Krist a Chewbacca disguise.

AndrewRogue: *goes to set himself up comfortably around the Crystal Spider*

Sarcazmo47: I.e. Manacles.

Chromeus18: (oh my god we're setting him up the bomb)

Adm H Sopko: Ahhh the infamous Chewbacca defense

Chromeus18: (hahah)

Chromeus18: (it just doesn't make sense!)

Sarcazmo47: So.

Sarcazmo47: Krist gets Manacled!

Dark Japheth: *checks star wars off list*

Sarcazmo47: Really bad manacles, too!

Sarcazmo47: Well, the manacles are good.

Sarcazmo47: The chain...is not so good.

Sarcazmo47: Especially since Skocion super happy fun time to saw through portions of several links of the chain.

Sarcazmo47: And then frosts it.

Sarcazmo47: So it should be very easy to break.

Sarcazmo47: "Now. You know how to act like a slave?"

AndrewRogue: (Shut up PF)

Chromeus18: "I think I know what you're getting at. You'll lure him by pretending to sell me to him, correct?"

Sarcazmo47: Skocion's clothes morph before your eyes, and go from gaudy and rich to just plain outrageous. Jewelry, rich clothes, silk and velvet, furs.

Sarcazmo47: "You're a clever man, Krist. Now, don't speak unless spoken too, and keep your eyes down."

Chromeus18: "Remove my weapon too, that might give it away."

Sarcazmo47: Skocion nods.

Sarcazmo47: And the whole thing goes into Skocion's bag.

Sarcazmo47: Which will be conveniently situated between Krist and Skocion.

Chromeus18: Krist nods, and drops all hints of emotion from his face.

Sarcazmo47: Skocion also takes out a spiked chain and wraps it around Krist's neck, making a leash.

Sarcazmo47: As a side note, he also purchases several cure light wounds potions.

Sarcazmo47: And Krist gets healamijiggered.

Sarcazmo47: And then, they go to the Crystal Spider, and Skocion orders an expensive drink in an expensive goblet, and otherwise acts like a pompous, rich, LE asshole.

Sarcazmo47: It's not hard.

Dark Japheth: I know.

Dark Japheth: Eventually.

Chromeus18: Krist stands idly next to him, eyes closed, hands manacled.

Dark Japheth: A tall, thin, dark man walks through the door. His hair, black and in dreadlocks, hangs down around him, and his clothes almost reek of brimstone.

AndrewRogue: (Satan?)

Sarcazmo47: Satan has dreadlocks?

AndrewRogue: (Yup.)

Dark Japheth: His eyes have dark glasses over them, and his hands are almost ridiculously huge. One of his fingers is about twice as long as any others, and pulses with a light red energy.

Dark Japheth: He looks around. "Wheres the fucker who broke my door?"

Dark Japheth: A few people shake their heads IMMEDIATELY.

Dark Japheth: He turns... and sees that dumbass frog. And a smile crosses his face.

Dark Japheth: "Well well well. It seems that the frog was finally caught in a spiderweb."

Sarcazmo47: Skocion yanks on the chain cruelly.

Sarcazmo47: "Did you get my note?"

Dark Japheth: He grins. And sees its in chains. "Good man. Keep that beast on a leash. I did indeed get the note."

Chromeus18: Krist grimaces, but says nothing.

Sarcazmo47: "Excellent. I apologize again for the door."

Sarcazmo47: "It's hard to find good help these days."

Sarcazmo47: "Why, just the other day I had to have a trusted liutenant killed. It's hard times, I tell you." He shakes his head. "Can I get you something?"

Dark Japheth: "The frog." He grins, his teeth mostly rotted from his face, and a sick black color.

AndrewRogue: ( http://www.eviloverlord.com/lists/overlord.h tml )

Dark Japheth: "I'll give you twelve hundred plats for it."

Sarcazmo47: "No pleasantries before buisness? Very well, straight to it, then."

Dark Japheth: "So how'd you get him? We tried, but he got my apprentice before I could take him."

Sarcazmo47: "I can make more than that with him in the pits. It's a rather paltry offer."

Dark Japheth: "Frogman physiology is quite a good subject to study."

Dark Japheth: He smiles. "You are a good businessman." He smiles, and reaches to touch the frogs head.

Dark Japheth: Almost disbelieving that he's RIGHT THERE.

Sarcazmo47: Skocion lashes the chain a little, warningly, and waves his hand.

Dark Japheth: And wondering if this isn't all some Major Illusion.

Sarcazmo47: His ungloved hand.

Dark Japheth: The clawed and nasty one. Ah. He stops. "Sorry. You sure this is Krist? Skin colors all wrong."

Sarcazmo47: "I assure you, he's right here. I'm sure there's all sorts of seething hatred lin whatever is left of his broken mind."

Sarcazmo47: "Ah, yes, that's my fault."

Dark Japheth: "You dyed him? You are a harsh master. I like you."

Sarcazmo47: "I haven't been maintaining him properly. I'm afraid I haven't studied frogman pysiology."

Dark Japheth: "I only have twelve hundred plats. Perhaps I can pay you in trade."

Chromeus18: (give him portz)

Sarcazmo47: Pogs!

Dark Japheth: (For a mental picture, imagine a rastafarian in a black cloak)

Dark Japheth: (....Remember alf?)

Dark Japheth: (He's back! IN POG FORM)

Adm H Sopko: (He's back! IN POG FORM!)

Adm H Sopko: (DAMN YOU)

Sarcazmo47: "I think we can come to an agreement. Do you have the money?"

Adm H Sopko: (YOU SPENT MY SOUL ON A BUNCH OF STUPID POGS?)

Dark Japheth: "Not on me. Its back in the house, in the safe."

AndrewRogue: (XD)

Sarcazmo47: Skocion shrugs. "I must admit that I have a question. Blame my overburdening curiosity."

Sarcazmo47: "I brought him to you because he hates you. With a certain passion that I find amazing in a subhuman."

Sarcazmo47: "But he never did tell me why."

Dark Japheth: He nods. "I killed its owner."

Sarcazmo47: "Ah. Why?"

Dark Japheth: "Some Nagukorian dude." He smiles. "I had a contract on him."

Chromeus18: Krist's breathing becomes ragged, wheezy.

Dark Japheth: "Paid in advance, too. Didn't want any of the body, or anything. Killed at any cost. For a tidy sum."

Sarcazmo47: "I'm afraid my knowledge of these matters is limited. Is it bad form to tell me about your past employers?"

Dark Japheth: "Isn't that right, little fucker? You'd be dead, too, if you hadn't been trained to use that scythe."

Dark Japheth: "Usually. But this guy was weird. He wore a mask, and a robe. Didn't want me to see his face. He was about six feet in height."

Dark Japheth: "He claimed he had an allergy to the sun. I still think he was a vampire of some sort, but fuck if I know."

Dark Japheth: "I never cared, I was paid enough not to care."

AndrewRogue: (Oh god. Its Guile from Chrono Cross.)

Dark Japheth: (I was thinking Revan.)

Sarcazmo47: Skocion nods. "Interesting. Very interesting. Yes, I see. Shall we go back to your home and discuss the matter further?"

Dark Japheth: "Its probably for the best. We'd get caught and taxed here. I'd prefer not my home, if you don't mind."

Dark Japheth: "I don't want to be caught buying slaves there, I don't have a permit for it."

Sarcazmo47: Skocion nods. "Oh, very well. Where shall we go?" As he asks, he starts to stand up.

Chromeus18: Every sentence the man utters reduces Krist's breathing shallower and shallower, it's almost like he's not breathing at all, and it looks painful.

Sarcazmo47: He watches the man keenly, waiting for him to start thinking about the answer.

Sarcazmo47: As soon as the man looks like he's pondering....Skocion flips the table up right into his face.

Dark Japheth: It hits him, and... ref save to avoid falling on the ground.

*OnlineHost*: Dark Japheth rolled 1 20-sided die: 10

Sarcazmo47: Skocion is already drawing his sword.

Dark Japheth: He doesn't make it, sadly. He hits.

Dark Japheth: Inits.

*OnlineHost*: Dark Japheth rolled 1 20-sided die: 14

Dark Japheth: 15.

*OnlineHost*: Chromeus18 rolled 1 20-sided die: 16

*OnlineHost*: Sarcazmo47 rolled 1 20-sided die: 1

Sarcazmo47: Last.

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

Chromeus18: 22

Sarcazmo47: But I got a surprise round!

Sarcazmo47: BWAHAHAHA!

AndrewRogue: 20-ish

Chromeus18: Krist 22, Landus 20, Thrax 15, Skoc 1

Dark Japheth: He's on the ground. And prone.

Dark Japheth: SO you have your surprise round, then Krist goes.

Sarcazmo47: Hahaha!

Sarcazmo47: Draw weapon.

Sarcazmo47: Krist still needs to break out of his shackles and retrieve his weapon.

Chromeus18: Krist snaps the manacles behind his back. Can I get me scythe and attack after doing that?

Dark Japheth: Yes.

Sarcazmo47: Indeed?

Sarcazmo47: Awsome!

Chromeus18: I'd assume no so... oh ok!

Sarcazmo47: Hold for X-Strike, then?

Sarcazmo47: Hoowa!

Sarcazmo47: Held!

Chromeus18: Krist grabs his scythe, and delays to Skoc "You..... YOU!!!!"

Sarcazmo47: Skoc delayed to you.

Sarcazmo47: Surprise round.

Sarcazmo47: So kill!

Chromeus18: oh ok

Sarcazmo47: The man on the floor gets his face rocked.

Chromeus18: Krist raises his scythe, and brings it down DIRECTLY. ON. HIS. FAACE.

*OnlineHost*: Chromeus18 rolled 1 20-sided die: 6

*OnlineHost*: Sarcazmo47 rolled 1 20-sided die: 12

Sarcazmo47: Prone AC?

Chromeus18: 21!

Dark Japheth: You both hit.

*OnlineHost*: Chromeus18 rolled 2 4-sided dice: 1 4

Chromeus18: 15 here

*OnlineHost*: Sarcazmo47 rolled 5 6-sided dice: 3 1 1 4 6

Sarcazmo47: 22 here.

Dark Japheth: Heh, shitloads of SUBDUAL

Sarcazmo47: Plus rending damage.

Chromeus18: rend!

*OnlineHost*: Sarcazmo47 rolled 1 6-sided die: 3

Sarcazmo47: Ten rending here.

*OnlineHost*: Chromeus18 rolled 2 4-sided dice: 4 1

Chromeus18: 15 here

Sarcazmo47: So, 62 total.

Chromeus18: as Krist and Skocion cross paths after attacking, Krist shouts "WILL!"

Dark Japheth: The man is literally torn into two pieces. He is ripped apart with a scream.

AndrewRogue: *doesn't bother to get up from his table*

Chromeus18: and during the rend, Krist screams "DIIE!!"

Dark Japheth: Blood covers the both of you. And a man at a table nearby begins clapping.

Sarcazmo47: And your REAL enemy is right over there!

Dark Japheth: No. He's also crying a solemn tear.

Chromeus18: Krist is panting heavily, and he SMILES as he sees Thrax's pureed form.

Chromeus18: so Thrax is dead, correct?

Sarcazmo47: Not much chance of stabilizing, I take it?

Dark Japheth: Not when you are at -21.

Sarcazmo47: Yeah, that'll do it.

Sarcazmo47: Silly 1d4 hit die.

Sarcazmo47: Hey, technically he's only a -11, with 10 subdual!

Chromeus18: Krist, without a break in stride, swings his scythe and slices his head off.

Sarcazmo47: Er...

Sarcazmo47: Nevermind.

Adm H Sopko: (Krist is like Keith. He makes sure his enemy is freaking dead)

Chromeus18: Then proceeds to dutifully remove every limb from his body.

Sarcazmo47: Yipe.

AndrewRogue: *Landus provides background music for the sake of drama*

Sarcazmo47: Skocion grunts in disgust at the blood, and his clothes dissolve into his normal, marginally-less-gaudy clothes, minus the blood.

Chromeus18: He then puts his scythe blade underneath his exposed sternum, and RIPS IT UP, opening his ribcage like a dissected frog.

Sarcazmo47: Skocion moves off a bit.

Sarcazmo47: He doesn't want to be bloodspattered.

Chromeus18: Krist doesn't mind. In fact, it looks like he's enjoying it.

Sarcazmo47: In fact, he heads on over to Landus's table!

Chromeus18: Krist reaches down, and pulls out his heart with his bare hand.

AndrewRogue: *just relaxes and strums the harp gently* "Should we really let him do that here?"

Sarcazmo47: Skocion laughs. "You try stopping him."

Sarcazmo47: "At least they'll have a hell of a time identifying the body."

Chromeus18: And reaches into his pocket, taking out his statue of Anuel, and places it where the heart was.

Dark Japheth: The man who is clapping at this point heads to Skocion. "Sir... I would like to thank you." His eyes are covered in tears.

AndrewRogue: "Not while he has the scythe." *he sighs* "So grisly though."

Chromeus18: "Drink deeply... my brother. Drink as deeply of his life as he did of yours."

Dark Japheth: He hands you a simple medallion, steel, with no symbol on it. Just a medallion. "This... this was my wifes. And she was murdered by that monster."

Dark Japheth: "I'm glad someone tricked him and killed him." he cries.

Sarcazmo47: "Ah...? You are very welcome. I am glad to have helped you."

AndrewRogue: "Glad to know we could... uh... do you service."

Sarcazmo47: He takes the medallion, and shakes the man's hand.

Sarcazmo47: Sense motive!

Chromeus18: Then Krist begins to calm down. And notices the people around.

*OnlineHost*: Sarcazmo47 rolled 1 20-sided die: 12

Sarcazmo47: 22!

Dark Japheth: He's not lying. At all. he's completely truthful. And he hugs you when you offer your hand.

AndrewRogue: (Skocion takes him and offers "comfort!")

Sarcazmo47: Skocion gets hugged.

Dark Japheth: He smells of liquor, but isn't acting drunk- a known factor of people who have been drunk so long.

Sarcazmo47: He looks marginally uncomfortable.

Sarcazmo47: He's not used to heartfelt thanks.

Dark Japheth: "You are a good person. What is your name?"

Chromeus18: "My purpose is fulfilled..." Krist leaves the statuette there.

Chromeus18: and collects the head.

Sarcazmo47: "My name is Gix." He smiles.

Chromeus18: Krist then walks out the door without another word.

Sarcazmo47: Skocion sighs and heads out after him, giving the man one last nod.

Dark Japheth: He smiles happily.

Dark Japheth: You've made someones day.

Sarcazmo47: If I were good, that would fill my heart with joy.

AndrewRogue: "Glad to know we were... uh... useful." *follows on out looking almost a bit bummed*

Sarcazmo47: "Sorry you didn't get to jump into the fray, my friend."

AndrewRogue: "Eh heh... it might have been dangerous that close."

Sarcazmo47: "Quite so."

Sarcazmo47: Where is Krist going?

AndrewRogue: "Frog swung that thing pretty hard."

Sarcazmo47: "Well, years of bottled rage and hate will do that to a man. Or frog, I suppose."

Chromeus18: Krist is simply outside the door, holding Thrax's severed head by it's dreadlocks.

Sarcazmo47: "Do you want to put that thing away before someone is compelled to start asking questions, Krist?"

Chromeus18: (months, actually. But you do not understand the relationship :P)

Chromeus18: Krist looks down at it, hardly realizing he even has it. "This?" He looks at Skocion intently, and blinks.

Chromeus18: "Actually..."

Chromeus18: "Could you preserve it for me?"

Sarcazmo47: Skocion shrugs. "I can have it done."

AndrewRogue: "I'm sure he could. But like... eh heh... bag it before people start asking?"

Sarcazmo47: He does, indeed, bag it.

Sarcazmo47: Wrapping it in a cloth, first.

Sarcazmo47: To minimize blood getting all over the place.

Sarcazmo47: And so, the galumphed back to the man's house, and his busted-in door!

Chromeus18: "I should have his skull cleaned and use it as a chalice in the fu.."

Dark Japheth: Snicker snack.

Chromeus18: Krist stops abruptly, and doesn't finish.

Sarcazmo47: "Something got your tongue, Krist?"

AndrewRogue: "Something wrong?"

Chromeus18: "No, no. I'm fine."

Sarcazmo47: Skocion shrugs.

Sarcazmo47: And they proceed to the looting phase.

Chromeus18: Krist sounds letdown, but there's no reason for him to be.

AndrewRogue: Sense Motive!

*OnlineHost*: AndrewRogue rolled 1 20-sided die: 5

AndrewRogue: 23

*OnlineHost*: Sarcazmo47 rolled 1 20-sided die: 2

Sarcazmo47: 12!

Chromeus18: no soup for you!

Sarcazmo47: Anyhoo, the looting phase is hastened by Skocion's "throw it all in the bag now, search it for traps later" approach. That includes the the safe, wherever it may be found. But Landus is comissioned to

Chromeus18: actually, I'd leave that up to Gorth.

Sarcazmo47: search the place for standing traps using his crazy rogue skills.

AndrewRogue: Takes 20.

AndrewRogue: For 26 total.

Sarcazmo47: Oh, and more antitoxin!

Sarcazmo47: In case we get poisontrapped!

Dark Japheth: You find LOADS of toxins.

Chromeus18: Krist checks for hidden goods, taking 20 as well. which would be 28

Dark Japheth: And three doses of Wasps Poison (2d6 and then 1d6 str), some Deathblade, and about twenty vials of Insanity Mist.

Dark Japheth: You find his Kwondon, his spellbook, his suit of armor. Who opens the spellbook?

Chromeus18: not me >_>

Sarcazmo47: The spellbook gets opened, but later.

Sarcazmo47: For now, it goes in the bag.

Chromeus18: that handy dandy bag.

Sarcazmo47: As does the armor and the Kwondon.

Sarcazmo47: And the safe.

Sarcazmo47: If there is one.

Chromeus18: Krist has no reservations in tearing the place apart.

Dark Japheth: There is a safe.

Dark Japheth: But you don't know the combination. Its made of Adamant.

Sarcazmo47: Great! It gets pushed into the bag of fixed weight.

Dark Japheth: Heh.

Sarcazmo47: I expect the combination was in the journal that exploded.

Dark Japheth: It didn't explode.

Dark Japheth: It just shot a fireball at Krist's face.

Sarcazmo47: No?

Sarcazmo47: Excellent!

Sarcazmo47: That goes in the bag, too!

Sarcazmo47: Anything else to throw in the bag?

Dark Japheth: Hmm. A shield.

Dark Japheth: A few vials, seemingly empty, with skulls on the front of them.

Sarcazmo47: Ooo.

Dark Japheth: Labels are in Ogram.

Sarcazmo47: OGRAM!

Sarcazmo47: What do they say?

Dark Japheth: Do you speak Ogram?

Dark Japheth: Can you even read it? :P

Sarcazmo47: No, I ask Landus.

Chromeus18: (what is Ogram again?)

Sarcazmo47: OGRAM

AndrewRogue: "Uh... why don't YOU hold these Skoc? Preferably somewhere far away from me."

Chromeus18: Krist's throat thrusts. "What are they?"

AndrewRogue: "The Black Death, Mindrot, Paralysis Expectorium and... uh... do not open unless you want you want to be fucking dead."

Sarcazmo47: Skocion laughs.

Sarcazmo47: "Leave them."

Dark Japheth: (I like the last one.)

AndrewRogue: "Good plan." (*briefly imagines Aria in the same situation. Imagines a totally contaminated Rivas Kul a day later*)

Dark Japheth: (Particularly because Gil would be like "OMG awesome I got a cool disease! Maybe my character concept is in there!")

Sarcazmo47: ...

Dark Japheth: (Or he'd keep it and try to sell it, and every hour, I'd roll a cumulative 20% chance that it breaks)

Sarcazmo47: Yeah, we leave the nasty diseases.

AndrewRogue: *the vials are left very very carefully somewhere*

Chromeus18: (we should relabel them)

Chromeus18: (Happy Happy Fun Time!)

Dark Japheth: (.....thats fucking hilarious)

Sarcazmo47: Or just hurl one out the window and walk away. Really fast.

Sarcazmo47: Anyway.

Sarcazmo47: Time to leave!

Chromeus18: (brb in two seconds)

Dark Japheth: Very, VERY good plan.

AndrewRogue: And... where do we go?

Sarcazmo47: Back to our hole!

AndrewRogue: Bummer.

Sarcazmo47: Just as a stopover.

Dark Japheth: I should mention that at about 3:00, your bodies seem to demand sleep.

Dark Japheth: In the afternoon.

Sarcazmo47: Skocion hands out the crack cocaine leaves and they beat feet for their hole.

AndrewRogue: "I fucking hate the underground."

Sarcazmo47: "Yes, but it's much safer."

Dark Japheth: You are able to get to the hole by midnight, and back to the castle by noon the next day. Do you do that?

Sarcazmo47: Yes.

Sarcazmo47: And then collapse.

Dark Japheth: GOOD PLAN.

AndrewRogue: *Landus just BAM, sleeps somewhere. Even hating underground isn't a big deal.*

Sarcazmo47: And sleep for, oh, twenty hours.

Dark Japheth: And now I end session.

Dark Japheth: ~-~-~End~-~-~

Sarcazmo47: Okie dokie.

Dark Japheth: Andrew- "You suck"

Sarcazmo47: REVENGE'D!

AndrewRogue: Thank you.

AndrewRogue: You saved me the effort.

Dark Japheth: I know.

Dark Japheth: Thoughts, opinions?

AndrewRogue: Dark Japheth: Andrew- "You suck"

AndrewRogue: <.<

Dark Japheth: Other than that

AndrewRogue: Happy fun revenge!

Dark Japheth: Because you see I nearly passed out at work.

AndrewRogue: I like seeing people die!

Dark Japheth: I bet Krist feels good.

AndrewRogue: However, this did not appease my homicidal desires.

AndrewRogue: *shakes fist*

AndrewRogue: *stabs someone*

Sarcazmo47: Awww.

Sarcazmo47: Poor violent Andrew.

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

*OnlineHost*: Dark Japheth rolled 1 100-sided die: 71

Dark Japheth: Roll damage against yourself, Chrome.

Dark Japheth: I mean Andrew.

*OnlineHost*: AndrewRogue rolled 1 4-sided die: 2

AndrewRogue: Argh

Dark Japheth: And sneak

Dark Japheth: Treat yourself as flatfooted.

Dark Japheth: :P

AndrewRogue: How much sneak do I Andrew have?

Dark Japheth: Uhh.

AndrewRogue: <.<

Dark Japheth: None.

AndrewRogue: So I do 1 damage to myself.

Dark Japheth: I have you statted as a level 2 expert level 1 adept

AndrewRogue: That sounds about right.

Sarcazmo47: You haven't REALLY statted us, have you?

AndrewRogue: I use BESM d20 though. Level 4 Student

AndrewRogue: <.<

Dark Japheth: Of course not. >.>

Sarcazmo47: ...

Sarcazmo47: You people.

Dark Japheth: I got bored at work, man

Dark Japheth: Chrome, though, he's been statted for a while
