You have just entered room "The Dark Ages of Amar."
Dark Japheth: hihi
coughingpuppy has entered the room.
Dark Japheth: Accept no substitutes.
coughingpuppy: Of Amar?
Dark Japheth: Amaryllis wouldn't fit. ;_;
coughingpuppy: Awww.
coughingpuppy: Xtreme Volleyball?
AndrewRogue: With 4 times the bikinis.
Dark Japheth: Well, maybe, but most of the PC's are male.
Dark Japheth: So. :P
AndrewRogue: That's what YOU think.
coughingpuppy: BwaHA!
Dark Japheth: Their characters. I didn't say players, andy.
Dark Japheth: :P
AndrewRogue: I reiterate.
AndrewRogue: That's what YOU think.
Dark Japheth: *notes disturbing lack of "gender: male" on landus's sheet8
AndrewRogue: Second line from the top.
AndrewRogue: <.<
Dark Japheth: Oh, so you edit your character sheet, but don't put up NPC stuff? I WEEEEEP
Dark Japheth: Oh, and I finally restatted queklain for this game. >.>
AndrewRogue: I haven't touched my character sheet.
Dark Japheth: Oh.
Dark Japheth: *looks*
AndrewRogue: And... wow. I did forget to do NPCs.
Dark Japheth: Its ok. :P
Dark Japheth: NOBODY NEEDS TO KNOW ABOUT THEM
Dark Japheth: IF THEY WERE IMPORTANT, THEY'D BE PC'S
Dark Japheth: Oh, Kirk. I have a question.
AndrewRogue: Or they'd kill us.
AndrewRogue: *nod*
Dark Japheth: Staci still wants to be a part of the game, right?
Dark Japheth: I'm actually going to ask rather than just offing her character or banishing her into a small tiny room then dicing him into cubes.
Dark Japheth: >.>
AndrewRogue: coughingpuppy: Yes she does.
AndrewRogue: Curses. Just a little too far over.
Dark Japheth: Yep.
Dark Japheth: And the wrong text box color.
Dark Japheth: :P
AndrewRogue: Oh yeah.
AndrewRogue: Well now I look stupider than normal.
AndrewRogue: How lucky am I tonight anyway?
*OnlineHost*: AndrewRogue rolled 1 20-sided die: 11
AndrewRogue: Barely above average.
Dark Japheth: Yep.
Dark Japheth: So whats going to happen
Dark Japheth: Demon builds engine for Skocion
Dark Japheth: he finds gelatin cubes to make his ship fly.
Dark Japheth: Which unlocks the next world/dungeon
Dark Japheth: And then will never be used again
Dark Japheth: >.>
AndrewRogue: Yay!
Dark Japheth: And you get new costumes when you go there.
AndrewRogue: Doesn't one of us get eaten by a Dragon before that?
coughingpuppy: DAGRON
Dark Japheth: You just keep doing your thing, man
coughingpuppy: Staci does, yes.
Dark Japheth: Ok.
coughingpuppy: Now that there's actually a weekly time and she can make it.
Dark Japheth: Wow.
Dark Japheth: When did I decide on a time officially?
coughingpuppy: Thursday nights?
Dark Japheth: I know this much
Dark Japheth: but I want to know when I started the schedule
coughingpuppy: Official day of the week, then.
Dark Japheth: Cuz its a really good idea and I wish I remembering doing it.
coughingpuppy: You did, trust me.
AndrewRogue: Heh
coughingpuppy: Thursdays.
Dark Japheth: *wish I remembered
Dark Japheth: Ok. Thursdays
coughingpuppy: So you restatted Quek?
coughingpuppy: Why?
coughingpuppy: Was Level 13 gestalt just not gonna cut it anymore?
Dark Japheth: Because I only had stats for him as a level 3 sorceror.
coughingpuppy: Oh.
coughingpuppy: That's a problem.
Dark Japheth: I hope you realize I've only statted people that you've actually encountered and fought in combat.
Dark Japheth: :P
Dark Japheth: *and people I expect you to fight reasonably soon
coughingpuppy: I will voice my irritation now at Hunter being a level 20 character.
coughingpuppy: This is official annoyance that I log with everyone important.
coughingpuppy: There, it's done.
AndrewRogue: Yay!
Dark Japheth: For the record.
AndrewRogue: I'm important!
AndrewRogue: <.<
Dark Japheth: The only reason he's a level 20 character
Dark Japheth: Is because I know that you won't ever ever have to fight him.
Dark Japheth: His comeuppance in DA will come near the end.
Dark Japheth: :P
coughingpuppy: 1) What does that have to do with anything?
coughingpuppy: 2) Why not?
Dark Japheth: 1) because it makes him feel better and it made him want to keep playing hunter in AND until he would eventually die
AndrewRogue: Which is done ^_^
coughingpuppy: Indeed.
Dark Japheth: 2) because he's dead set against changing the world. And old scratch has revealed that your little group is the catalyst of this age.
coughingpuppy: Has he now?
coughingpuppy: How nice of him.
Dark Japheth: Yep. He's also threatened to completely destroy his mind.
Dark Japheth: :P
coughingpuppy: Who destroy whose mind?
coughingpuppy: Chrooooooooooooooome!
coughingpuppy: I summon you!
Dark Japheth: Scratch destroy Hunter.
coughingpuppy: Why?
AndrewRogue: Because Scratch is that bad ass.
Dark Japheth: And because Hunter is startlingly arrogant.
Dark Japheth: and he smirked.
coughingpuppy: .....startlingly?
coughingpuppy: Why is this startling?
Dark Japheth: Scratch- "...bitch don't make me blast j00"
Dark Japheth: because he explained that he'd been locked in sensory deprivation for 800 years.
Dark Japheth: I assume naturally this would make him respect people who have double his ability scores and gestalt levels.
Dark Japheth: admittedly, scratch only has 2 HD being a petitioner now
Dark Japheth: but!
Dark Japheth: :P
coughingpuppy: See, this is my gripe. There's no way in hell that Hunter would live long enough to be a level 20 character.
AndrewRogue: Seriously. There's proof.
Dark Japheth: I know.
Dark Japheth: Thats why I let him have it. I was doing so well with you guys
Dark Japheth: I had to fuck up somehow, so I can still have a dramatic flaw!
coughingpuppy: Andrew, since I've known you, you've gone from complete optimism to complete pessimism.
AndrewRogue: That spans the course of yesterday to today.
AndrewRogue: I'm actually pretty positive right now.
AndrewRogue: Just in a poor mood.
coughingpuppy: I see.
AndrewRogue: And I'm cynical.
coughingpuppy: See, that's what different.
AndrewRogue: But that's a character flaw.
coughingpuppy: You used to LIKE Gil.
Dark Japheth: So did I.
AndrewRogue: Actually, if you ask anyone, I'm still cool with Gil.
Dark Japheth: We all have our moments.
AndrewRogue: I just don't talk to him and disagree on his policies.
Dark Japheth: lol.
AndrewRogue: Its the same with Alex, except I talk more.
coughingpuppy: Right.
coughingpuppy: NINJA POWER
Dark Japheth: Go ninja.
coughingpuppy: Alex is in the room right now, but can't see the screen.
Dark Japheth: Go ninja.
Dark Japheth: This one?
Dark Japheth: O.o
AndrewRogue: I think he means the literal room.
Dark Japheth: Oh.
coughingpuppy: Yes, the room.
AndrewRogue: Tell him he can have my Cat-Girl Hentai since he asked.
Dark Japheth: Then. He can't see this, right?
coughingpuppy: The dorm room.
Dark Japheth: Hmmmmmm.
AndrewRogue: <.<
Dark Japheth: I now call to order the No-Alex society!
coughingpuppy: He sure can't.
Dark Japheth: *no alex's
coughingpuppy: INDEED
coughingpuppy: SO
coughingpuppy: SINCE CHROME IS A FUCKTARD
coughingpuppy: WE SHALL COMMENCE GAME
coughingpuppy: RIIIIIIIIIGHT....
coughingpuppy: NOW
AndrewRogue: *points out some people were waiting for Kirk yesterday*
coughingpuppy: Waaanh.
coughingpuppy: Cry about it.
coughingpuppy: Slut.
AndrewRogue: Fuck off.
AndrewRogue: ^_^
Dark Japheth: *adds to quotes*
AndrewRogue: Or at least pay me properly for my services.
Dark Japheth: Wow
Dark Japheth: You know
Dark Japheth: I did invent several NPC's for the sole purpose of getting to play despite having only half the people here.
Dark Japheth: :P
AndrewRogue: Then start using some of them.
AndrewRogue: If ya got stuff, use it.
AndrewRogue: Doooooooo it.
AndrewRogue: Doooooooooo it.
AndrewRogue: ...okay.
AndrewRogue: Don't.
AndrewRogue: I don't care.
Dark Japheth: :P
Dark Japheth: You know. I don't get to magically say "Now you talk to plot NPC 1!"
Dark Japheth: You have to say
AndrewRogue: Gorth, run something before I mail bacteria to your house.
Dark Japheth: "Do I want the jester, the lover, the crone, the tyrant, the lightbringer, the cursed, the hanging man"
AndrewRogue: Well, we have to have a list :p
Dark Japheth: And cross the crone off that list.
Dark Japheth: now pick!
Dark Japheth: Pick, rummy!
AndrewRogue: Kirk picks.
AndrewRogue: I've been RPing too much. He needs a turn.
AndrewRogue: Gogogogogogogogogogogog
AndrewRogue: o
coughingpuppy: Uh?
coughingpuppy: Pick what?
Dark Japheth: The jester, the lover, the tyrant, the lightbringer, the cursed, or the hanging man?
coughingpuppy: The tyrant!
Dark Japheth: Now which tyrant. Hmmm
Dark Japheth: *decides*
coughingpuppy: BUT!
coughingpuppy: First Riannon will play!
Dark Japheth: Ok.
coughingpuppy: For I must wait for a computer to become available.
coughingpuppy: So.....*conjures Staci*
Dark Japheth: Yay, now if she dies, she goes back to her home plane. Do you have augment summoning?
coughingpuppy: *is here now!
Dark Japheth: Yay! Hihi.
AndrewRogue: *nods* Heya Staci.
coughingpuppy: Yaaaaaaaaaaaaay! Game! And I get to play Ri again.
AndrewRogue: YAY! Rii is back and her position in the Tactics team is again justified!
AndrewRogue: <.<
coughingpuppy: Yaaaaaaaaay!
AndrewRogue: Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!
Dark Japheth: Ybbbbbby!
Dark Japheth: ....oh.
coughingpuppy: *grin*
coughingpuppy: So what're we doing?
Dark Japheth: At the moment
Dark Japheth: I think we are all on Skocion's little floating fortress.
Dark Japheth: by we, I mean you guys.
coughingpuppy: Awesome. Kirk has kept me filled in on what's been happening, kind of.
AndrewRogue: We are floating upon his hubris. *nods sagely*
Dark Japheth: I wish he'd tell me whats going on, cuz I actually very rarely have ANY idea at all.
coughingpuppy: I am SO behind in XP, though. *hides face*
Dark Japheth: No you aren't.
Dark Japheth: *waves hand*
Dark Japheth: *abuses DM authority*
coughingpuppy: I'm not?
Dark Japheth: ....WOAH!
AndrewRogue: Gorth hasn't been giving us any anyway <.<
coughingpuppy: Whoa!
Dark Japheth: Level six? Already?
Dark Japheth: Daaaaamn
Dark Japheth: Thats awesome!
Dark Japheth: Yay, corrupt DM's
coughingpuppy: Gorth, you are awesome. Thank you muchly. *takes the first level of Ri's prestige class*
Dark Japheth: I'm not awesome, I just cheat to make everything fair.
Dark Japheth: Yes, Skocion's awesome
Dark Japheth: But he doesn't know who Skocion is.
Dark Japheth: :P
Dark Japheth: Landus is awesome! But he's a weak little prettyboy harpy. Krist... ok, well krist is just badass.
Dark Japheth: He's an asian frog with a scythe.
AndrewRogue: Agreed.
Dark Japheth: You can't beat that.
AndrewRogue: Although technically Landus isn't a pretty boy. My only pretty boy character is Hioshi.
Dark Japheth: Yeah.
coughingpuppy: Gorth, quick question. Do I get the primal shapes an increasing number of times a day like a druid does with wild shape, or do I only get it once per day since it goes up in power?
Dark Japheth: Increasing number of times per day.
Dark Japheth: The Primal Shape is just a wild shape form you can take, really.
coughingpuppy: Oh, okay.
Dark Japheth: It does go up in power, yeah
Dark Japheth: But everyone has an overpowered prestige class.
Dark Japheth: Krist is going to be an FFT samurai. :P
AndrewRogue: I tried to keep it balanced ;_;
Dark Japheth: I know you did.
Dark Japheth: Its overpowered only because this world doesn't have so many monsters in it.
coughingpuppy: I try to keep stuff balanced, too, but it doesn't always work. Lyra got an uberpowered prestige class in Kirk's campaign.
Dark Japheth: And way more humans.
Dark Japheth: So its more useful.
Dark Japheth: I like overpowered prestige classes. It gives my players less incentive to munchkinize!
Dark Japheth: When you can do it WITH the DM's supervision and approval... why do other things?
coughingpuppy: This is true. :-D
coughingpuppy: Hang on, have to roll HP.
*OnlineHost*: coughingpuppy rolled 1 8-sided die: 3
coughingpuppy: :-(
AndrewRogue: 2 Dice
Dark Japheth: take better.
*OnlineHost*: coughingpuppy rolled 2 8-sided dice: 2 6
coughingpuppy: Yay!
coughingpuppy: Okay, Ri is all leveled up.
Dark Japheth: Steak Emporium: YES!Steak Emporium: Gnomes are JEWISH.
Dark Japheth: That man is my hero, I think.
Dark Japheth: Steak Emporium: They make golems and stuffSteak Emporium: and are always filthy rich.
Dark Japheth: tee hee.
Dark Japheth: Anyway.
Dark Japheth: So whats happening?
AndrewRogue: I appear to breathing.
coughingpuppy: I was leveling Ri, and now I'm doing some RP for the Evil Campaign.
Dark Japheth: Oh, cool,.
Dark Japheth: Someone invited me to a level 4 gestalt game. Solely for the purpose of being her characters love interest.
Dark Japheth: Its set in the middle ages... if the middle ages had fantasy! So I'm playing a heretic priest, a druid who rebelled against the corruption in the church
coughingpuppy: Ha! Make him an Ur-Priest.
coughingpuppy: Aurelia wants you to.
Dark Japheth: I would, but no evil. ;_;
Dark Japheth: I am intentionally making an unlovable good character.
Dark Japheth: For one, I'll be ridiculously eloquent but UGLY
Dark Japheth: for UGLY is the devils mark! or at least, it was back then.
Dark Japheth: And I'm a sorceror...
Dark Japheth: and a DRUID
Dark Japheth: PAGAN WICCA OMG EVIL but not really!
coughingpuppy: Aurelia is converting the Ur-Priest into a twenty-level class that allows for nongood, nonchaotic for the Evil Campaign, actually. She's starting up an academy.
Dark Japheth: Aurelia rocks.
coughingpuppy: Yes, I like her.
Dark Japheth: When you get that statted, mind sending it my way?
coughingpuppy: Sure. I can type up the code for the class and send it to you now, if you want.
coughingpuppy: It's very LN, even though she's LE.
Dark Japheth: I would love this.
coughingpuppy: Okay, let me get it typed.
Chromeus18 has entered the room.
Dark Japheth: brb for a moment or six
AndrewRogue: ...
AndrewRogue: *kills self*
Chromeus18: mm
Dark Japheth: No, you know what, Andy?
Dark Japheth: This reminds me of something
Dark Japheth: like... yesterday almost.
Dark Japheth: And BRB in ten minutes
AndrewRogue: *sighs*
Chromeus18: i need to cook up some dinner. brb
coughingpuppy: Okay.
AndrewRogue: Is my luck changing yet?
*OnlineHost*: AndrewRogue rolled 1 20-sided die: 20
AndrewRogue: Well... that was a waste.
coughingpuppy: Maybe it's telling you that your luck is changing!
AndrewRogue: That would be nice.
Dark Japheth: DIE OF OMENS, GRANT ME SIGHT BEYOND SIGHT!
*OnlineHost*: Dark Japheth rolled 1 20-sided die: 13
Dark Japheth: SIGHT ONLY SLIGHTLY BEYOND THE AVERAGE SIGHT
AndrewRogue: Fuck him. *ahem*
AndrewRogue: So what are we doing?
Dark Japheth: I seem to be eating at my computer staring at the monitor.
Dark Japheth: Listening to that one song. It goes doo-doo-dee-doo-dee-doo
coughingpuppy: Are we going to RP tonight? *jumps around*
Dark Japheth: I personally hope so.
Dark Japheth: If we do, we better start in the next 20 minutes.
AndrewRogue: I'm on the verge of just saying screw it <.<
AndrewRogue: >.>
AndrewRogue: *rolls Screw It check*
coughingpuppy: Are you waiting for Kirk?
Dark Japheth: And Chrome
*OnlineHost*: AndrewRogue rolled 1 20-sided die: 11
coughingpuppy: Kirk might not have a computer for a little while yet, he has to borrow Rachel's. She's doing homework right now.
Dark Japheth: I can run without him, at least until the crew lands. I will run with 3/4 of PC's here, but I try to avoid games with half the PC's.
Dark Japheth: So we wait for chrome and then play?
Dark Japheth: Before we do this, I ask- how much is he gunna yell at me for having a character miss a session?
coughingpuppy: He won't miss the session. If getting a computer takes too long we'll just type off the same screen.
coughingpuppy: He's here in the room with me.
Dark Japheth: Ok.
Dark Japheth: *didn't know that*
Dark Japheth: What email account did you use?
coughingpuppy: The Hotmail one.
Dark Japheth: I have a blank email
Dark Japheth: It has no subject, and no return address.
Dark Japheth: Thats all in either my spam or regular folders.
coughingpuppy: Mrrrrrrrrr? How strange.
Dark Japheth: try my other one.
Dark Japheth: gorthaur.the.cruel@gmail.com
coughingpuppy: Okay.
coughingpuppy: There, resent.
Dark Japheth: It has!
Dark Japheth: Yay!
Dark Japheth: That... is awesome
Dark Japheth: <3
coughingpuppy: Thank you. :-D I more or less just had Aurelia pour her personal philosophies into it.
coughingpuppy: She's always bordered strongly on LN.
Dark Japheth: ...You know whats creepy. This is like, perfect, for the high ranking clergy of Thoth.
Dark Japheth: *steals!*
coughingpuppy: You may have it if you like it. :-D I'll send you the twenty-level class when I get it statted, too.
coughingpuppy: This is the code Aurelia more or less made up to have her students abide by.
Dark Japheth: Nice.
coughingpuppy: It might also be applied in AND, actually, if it continues.
AndrewRogue: AHAHAHAHA
AndrewRogue: *coughs*
coughingpuppy: Alex really liked it.
coughingpuppy: Why are you AHAHAing, Andrew?
AndrewRogue: if it continues.
AndrewRogue: <.<
AndrewRogue: Sorry. Cynicism kicked in.
coughingpuppy: Yeah...Kirk and I are going to try to persuade Soppy to stay in, but I don't know...
Dark Japheth: coughingpuppy: Yeah...Kirk and I are going to try to persuade Soppy to stay in, but I don't know... AHAHAHA
AndrewRogue: Alex is considering quitting again, and he's picking a not happy night to disregard things I'm saying.
Dark Japheth: That for some reason sounds... exactly... the opposite... of what I would have guessed
Dark Japheth: If he does it, fine. :P
AndrewRogue: XD
AndrewRogue: Yah. Kirk did say he'd talk to Sopko.
AndrewRogue: And if you can talk him out of it, excellent.
Sarcazmo47 has entered the room.
Sarcazmo47: Ready to ROCK
Chromeus18: back
Sarcazmo47: Okay kids.
Sarcazmo47: We're finally all here!
Dark Japheth: Yay!
Sarcazmo47: It's time!
Sarcazmo47: Time for stuff!
Chromeus18: woof!
AndrewRogue: Rawr
AndrewRogue: Let's rock.
Chromeus18: i went out for checkers, cuz i realized i didn't have anything to go on my noodles
Chromeus18: D&D monitor is go!
Chromeus18: Krist thong donned!
Sarcazmo47: GO GO GO!
AndrewRogue: Quiet mister dual monitor.
Sarcazmo47: Staciiiiiiii!
Chromeus18: my face burns twice as fast now!
coughingpuppy: I am here!
Sarcazmo47: GORTH DO IT
Sarcazmo47: RECAP US
Chromeus18: inviting tortgurt!
Chromeus18: (mmmm spicy chicken parmesan sandwich)
Dark Japheth: Well.
coughingpuppy: ((*jealous*))
Dark Japheth: We had many many days without sessions.
AndrewRogue: *cries*
Dark Japheth: It made the stronger of us gnash our teeth and weep.
AndrewRogue: *gnash*
AndrewRogue: *weep*
Dark Japheth: This was due in part to a wedding, and because Kirk moved.
Dark Japheth: And because Chrome and Andy suck.
Chromeus18: horribly
Dark Japheth: So when game finally resumed.
Dark Japheth: And all was well in the land
AndrewRogue: *adds rust monsters to next Entreth session*
Dark Japheth: Skocion said "I have a superpowerful battleship."
Dark Japheth: "Nothing can possibly fuck it up, except on the inside."
Dark Japheth: "I know! I'll invite demons and devils to come on board!"
Dark Japheth: "I mean, they wouldn't fuck anything up... right?"
Dark Japheth: "Right? Guys?"
Sarcazmo47: It's BRILLIANT
Dark Japheth: And interviews were had, and explosions were had
Chromeus18: not those good samaritans
Dark Japheth: wait, thats this session, last session there was blowing up of thingd
Dark Japheth: things.
Dark Japheth: Recapped omg go
Chromeus18: and today is Skocion's birthday!
Sarcazmo47: Indeed!
Sarcazmo47: Skocion gets roaring fucking drunk!
coughingpuppy: ((Yay Skocion!))
Sarcazmo47: Drunker 'n drunk!
Chromeus18: Krist joins him!
coughingpuppy: So does Ri!
AndrewRogue: Landus is there of course.
Chromeus18: (Skoc: I don't even know my own birthday! Krist: Today is your birthday. Happy Birthday!)
Sarcazmo47: Before he loses total coherency, he tells the captain to set a course for off the coast of Tamerand.
Chromeus18: (like at hooters, where you fake your birthday to get the girls to clap for you)
Dark Japheth: Ok.
Chromeus18: If Nayaresh gets drunk, Krist wants to sculpt her.
Dark Japheth: She'd let you sculpt her anyway.
Chromeus18: Krist gets nice and tipsy, and asks her if she's ready for sculpting!
Dark Japheth: "...You... what?"
coughingpuppy: ((Hang on, I have to come hop on the computer Kirk is on.))
Chromeus18: "I'm here to take you.... up on the offer I proposed. Your likeness for.....ever preserved in statue form.."
Chromeus18: Krist is noticeably intoxicated.
coughingpuppy has left the room.
Chromeus18: "That is if it's convenenient for you now... of course.."
Dark Japheth: "...Sure."
Dark Japheth: She stands, albeit wobbling a little, and waits for you to sculpt.
Chromeus18: "You may assume any pose you wish."
Chromeus18: Krist does so.
Dark Japheth: She gently straightens her back a little, and stands up straighter.
*OnlineHost*: Chromeus18 rolled 1 20-sided die: 9
Chromeus18: 20
Dark Japheth: Awesome.
Chromeus18: turn out well?
Dark Japheth: Yep.
Chromeus18: Krist finishes it, and does some final touches. "Does it capture your beauty, m'lady?" He presents it to Nayaresh.
Sarcazmo47: Staci is hooking up her computer in here.
Dark Japheth: She nods. "Yes."
Dark Japheth: "Yes you did." And she plants a kiss on your froggy forehead.
Dark Japheth: fort save to not turn into a prince!
Chromeus18: "I thank you for your patience." Krist bows deeply
*OnlineHost*: Chromeus18 rolled 1 20-sided die: 4
Chromeus18: oh noes!
Dark Japheth: Aww, you fail
Dark Japheth: :P
AndrewRogue: (NOOOOO! :_; )
Chromeus18: "And.. your affection is appreciated, m'lady."
Chromeus18: Krist bows again and turns to leave.
coughingpuppy has entered the room.
Chromeus18: Krist rejoins the group to finish their mission of liver slaying
Sarcazmo47: Skocion gets so fucking piss drunk he actually has trouble staying in his chair.
AndrewRogue: *Landus shall partake in the uproarious fun, but somehow manages to avoid practically ever actually taking a drink*
Sarcazmo47: But he doesn't give up!
Sarcazmo47: He gets sloshed until he'd be going blind.
Chromeus18: Krist leads the group in song!
Chromeus18: WE JAM DRUNKENLY!
AndrewRogue: Indeed!
Sarcazmo47: YES!
coughingpuppy: Do we need jam rolls?
Dark Japheth: Nah.
Sarcazmo47: Fuck it. We jam awsomely.
Chromeus18: I think it's safe to say we rock the boat.
AndrewRogue: Indeed.
Sarcazmo47: The demons and devils rock out.
AndrewRogue: Because we rock.
Sarcazmo47: Actually, in his drunken state, he will in fact ORDER the Vrock, the Kyton, and the Manes to rock.
Chromeus18: oh man, real hellish screams to go with our acoustic metal
AndrewRogue: Hell yeah.
Dark Japheth: :P
Sarcazmo47: And I think all of you can imagine Skocion shouting orders that are so slurred and incoherent they're almost impossible to decipher.
Chromeus18: Krist rocks a little softer once the Oni's are rocking with us, he makes sure not to get too close
coughingpuppy: Ri, drunk as she is, continues to beat the drums rather loudly.
Chromeus18: (Skocion sober: ROCK WITH US, DEVILS! Skocion drunk: FUCK US, ASSHOLES!)
Sarcazmo47: In true rock star fashion, he will eventually start randomly throwing and breaking shit.
Chromeus18: is any of the normal crew with us? :P
Dark Japheth: Probably not
Dark Japheth: If you have the Vrock and the Kyton.
Dark Japheth: The manes? Eh, they don't care.
Sarcazmo47: They will be if they come within 100 feet.
Sarcazmo47: Because Skocion screams at them until they start rocking.
Dark Japheth: What song do you play?
Dark Japheth: Just jamming?
Dark Japheth: :P
Sarcazmo47: Yes.
Chromeus18: Krist shreds out solos left and right!
Dark Japheth: For the record, the Kyton is on drums, if that is indeed where you want him, and the Vrock is providing a base line.
Sarcazmo47: Sure.
Dark Japheth: BAM ROCKIN
Chromeus18: (we should make the devils sing a barber shop quartet for us)
Sarcazmo47: Does the Pit Fiend come and participate?
Dark Japheth: There is much played and it is indeed badass. The devils and demon seem to be getting along- but the Kyton is naturally the most level headed of the demons.
coughingpuppy: But Ri plays the drums. :-( That's HER job.
Dark Japheth: (Its like when keith moon died.)
Dark Japheth: (the Who used TWO drummers to ROCK HARDER)
AndrewRogue: I think the song of choice should be 'The Devil Went Down to Georgia'
AndrewRogue: <.<
Sarcazmo47: YES
Sarcazmo47: Skocion leads them in that song.
Dark Japheth: How awesome. Heh.
Dark Japheth: The Pit Fiend is unseen, although when the performance is over, hovering in midair, he'll be holding out his hand with flame in it.
Sarcazmo47: http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/19 5918
Chromeus18: oh my
Sarcazmo47: The Pit Fiend is our lighter.
AndrewRogue: This is how awesome we are.
Sarcazmo47: Yes.
Sarcazmo47: That is how hard we rock out.
Chromeus18: pit fiend provides pyros!
Dark Japheth: Yes.
Chromeus18: now we need groupies and t-shirts
coughingpuppy: And a logo!
Dark Japheth: :P
AndrewRogue: Screw world destruction. We rock out.
Sarcazmo47: So, the day of drinking way too much and rocking out as hard as possible passes.
Chromeus18: and the lord said it was good
Chromeus18: (we could be called SkoZionS Snake Pit)
Sarcazmo47: (I hate you so much.)
Sarcazmo47: Anyway, the next day....everyone has hangovers.
Dark Japheth: Yeah.
Sarcazmo47: And the day after THAT.
Sarcazmo47: Stuff commences.
Chromeus18: Krist awakens refreshed, not in huge pain from a throbbing headache.
AndrewRogue: *Landus keeps to his typical routine of rising and exercising and... well... hanging around on deck.*
coughingpuppy: Riannon is a little uncomfortable on the ship and is just trying to get used to it. She's often found hanging over the rail watching the ocean.
Sarcazmo47: Well, Skocion has a huge fucking headache, and keeps to his bed and grumbles a lot.
Chromeus18: Krist takes a swim, this time taking a ladder
Chromeus18: (oh my god, you think we rocked as hard as dad did?)
Sarcazmo47: (Yes. Yes, I think we did.)
AndrewRogue: (That would be tough, but I think so.)
coughingpuppy: Ri takes a swim, too. Why not. She leaves poor Brom on the deck, as he's probably distressed about being on the ship in the first place.
Chromeus18: (my life is complete)
Dark Japheth: Awww. Poor Brom.
Chromeus18: Krist is a natural in the water. Ri may not be able to keep up with him, since he's a fuckin frog.
Sarcazmo47: Ri may not be able to keep up with him, since he's a fuckin frog.
AndrewRogue: (...heh.)
coughingpuppy: Ri probably can't keep up with him, but doesn't really mind.
Dark Japheth: ...I just now got that.
Dark Japheth: PF.
Sarcazmo47: I said NOTHING.
Dark Japheth: Anyway.
Sarcazmo47: Anyway, indeed.
Dark Japheth: I like how RP only happens when its not in official sessions.
Sarcazmo47: Shhhh.
Dark Japheth: Its like... alex's game inverted.
Sarcazmo47: Anyway, Skocion wakes up.
Sarcazmo47: Eventually.
Sarcazmo47: Are they nearing the Tamerand port?
Chromeus18: (Bizarro Amaryllis!)
Sarcazmo47: Well, not port.
Sarcazmo47: But shoreline.
Sarcazmo47: Friggin lesbians.
Dark Japheth: Not remotely.
Dark Japheth: It'll take about two weeks. Actually.
Dark Japheth: North, or south?
Sarcazmo47: North our south?
Chromeus18: (the world isn't round and we can't just go straight east? :P
Sarcazmo47: What you say?
Sarcazmo47: From Rivas Kul?
Sarcazmo47: Ahhh.
Sarcazmo47: Heh.
Dark Japheth: Wait.
Sarcazmo47: *consults the character sheet for visions*
Dark Japheth: You want to go straight east?
Dark Japheth: ...and hit Nagukor? Or go around that?
Dark Japheth: Thats even longer. But you'll hit lots of little islands.
Chromeus18: (i say we take whichever way is shortest)
Dark Japheth: North around the continent.
Dark Japheth: You mean... you don't want the safest way?
AndrewRogue: We are on a floating fortress. Bring it.
coughingpuppy: No! Why be safe?
Sarcazmo47: Wait.
Chromeus18: I wanna board an enemy ship!
Dark Japheth: Heh.
Sarcazmo47: Dark Japheth (10:02:56 PM): And... a dark shape moves through the water near the crater of Cunar. Off the coast of Perenolde.
Sarcazmo47: We go that way.
AndrewRogue: OH GOD
Sarcazmo47: And yes.
AndrewRogue: *gets his Zodiac monster hunting equipment*
Sarcazmo47: Any ships that bear the markings of Asgard, or trading vessels in general....
Sarcazmo47: In fact, fuck it.
Sarcazmo47: Every boat we see gets boarded.
Sarcazmo47: The Vrock scouts, and our ship does its thing.
Sarcazmo47: And people die.
Dark Japheth: Your surgeon will oppose virulently to boarding the ships of Rivas Kul.
Sarcazmo47: Ah.
Sarcazmo47: Hmm.
Dark Japheth: This will be roleplayed, you certainly must realize. :P
Sarcazmo47: Oh yes.
Sarcazmo47: I'm outlining the plan.
Sarcazmo47: Anyway.
Sarcazmo47: Yes, ships flying a Rivas Kul flag will be generally avoided.
Chromeus18: (can we crash on a deserted island and have a hit sitcom on NBC?)
Sarcazmo47: (I hope.)
AndrewRogue: (Same here.)
Sarcazmo47: (Maybe there can be an epic love story and we'll crash into an iceberg.)
Sarcazmo47: ANYWAY
Sarcazmo47: Yes, that is our destination.
Sarcazmo47: It will take time to reach it.
Chromeus18: (that means Krist gets to sculpt someone naked!)
Sarcazmo47: Do any ships come in range of our sensors?
Chromeus18: Krist will stand lookout too
Dark Japheth: I don't know.
Dark Japheth: Tell you what. RP for a little while. And when they see someone, your scouts will say so.
Sarcazmo47: Okie dokie!
Dark Japheth: :P
Chromeus18: In the meantime, Krist wants to talk to Aram.
AndrewRogue: Indeed, he needs to do that.
Dark Japheth: Aram is down in the forge, hammering with a massive hammer at something that looks made of steel and flesh, maybe? It's so malleable.
coughingpuppy: ((Who is Aram?))
AndrewRogue: (Our Pit Fiend)
Sarcazmo47: ((The Kyton blacksmith.))
AndrewRogue: (Oh... -_-)
Sarcazmo47: ((No, Azazel is the Pit Fiend.))
Dark Japheth: (YOUR PIT FIEND IS AZAZEL, THE MASTER OF CORRUPTION)
Chromeus18: Krist heads down there, and patiently awaits Aram to have a moment to spare.
AndrewRogue: (Too many A names)
Sarcazmo47: ((Are all major devils unique in Amaryllis?)
Chromeus18: (the show will be Azazel's Island)
Dark Japheth: (Yes.)
Dark Japheth: (If I give it a name, its probably got class levels = great rule of thumb)
Sarcazmo47: ((Great.))
Sarcazmo47: ((On with the Aram/Krist RP.))
Dark Japheth: Aram keeps working, not taking a breather, or a break. Is he breathing? You don't know, for sure.
Dark Japheth: But he does sweat a bit.
Sarcazmo47: ((I sing "time is on my side" to the Pit Fiend.))
Dark Japheth: His armor has turned red hot from the forge.
Chromeus18: Krist waits about 10 minutes or so before he interrupts.
Dark Japheth: (you wait then.)
Chromeus18: (well, the last thing i wanna do is go pissing off one devil on a ship that's full of them)
AndrewRogue: (Good plan.)
Dark Japheth: (very good.)
Dark Japheth: He's going to sit there and keep working on his 'sword on a stick' until you interrupt him.
Dark Japheth: Tap him on the shoulder! :D
Sarcazmo47: Punch him in the face!
Chromeus18: does it look near completion?
Chromeus18: (why don't I just pinch his ass while I'm at it?)
Dark Japheth: It looks something near completion, but thats in your expert opinion.
Dark Japheth: He's only got about five days left before its well.
Chromeus18: Krist speaks up. "Aram? I came to talk to you."
Dark Japheth: He doesn't turn. "I was wondering when you'd speak up." he hammers.
Chromeus18: "As an artisan myself, I know distractions can be annoying. So what did you want to talk about concerning my weapon?"
Dark Japheth: "Its weak. Flimsy."
Dark Japheth: "I use something better to floss my fangs."
Chromeus18: Krist draws it calmly, waving it, flexing the blade. "Hmmm.. What do you suggest I do with it then?"
Dark Japheth: "Break it. I'll make you something worth your time." It grins, blood forming at the end of bloody gums.
Chromeus18: "When will it be ready?"
Dark Japheth: "I'm working on it now. I figure..." He holds this... sword on a stick, maybe... into the air. You don't hear his flesh char- oddly. And its white hot.
Dark Japheth: "About a week to finish the structure. Then another week for the dweomer.
Chromeus18: "That's quite a blade.. I look forward to wielding it. I must ask though... why are you helping me, and not Skocion?"
Dark Japheth: He grins. "You are his right hand."
Dark Japheth: "Do not for a moment think I am doing this because I wish to 'help'."
Chromeus18: Krist blinks. "Then why?"
Dark Japheth: "The Dark Lord stirs. Jolir's children, and fey, are vanishing all across the world." he grins again.
Dark Japheth: "The Dark Master is rising from Hell, to claim this world as his own. Not today. Maybe not in Skocion's lifetime. Or in yours. Or hell, even in an immortals."
Dark Japheth: "But. Changes are coming. And you are one of the catalysts."
Chromeus18: "How cryptic and vague. Then I will wield the weapon you're creating, and serve my purpose."
Dark Japheth: He laughs. "As you were made to do." He hammers again.
Chromeus18: "Yes, indeed. We will speak of this further when the weapon is complete. Farewell for now, Aram."
Dark Japheth: He grunts and agrees.
Chromeus18: Krist heads up back to the deck.
Chromeus18: And resheathes his scythe, since he ain't gonna go unarmed for that long.
Sarcazmo47: Quite so.
Sarcazmo47: Skocion....
Sarcazmo47: Skocion takes Riannon aside at one point.
AndrewRogue: *Landus is on deck, moving through practice routines. Staying fit*
coughingpuppy: "You need something, Skocion?"
Sarcazmo47: "Riannon, dear druid. Will you speak with me a moment?"
coughingpuppy: "Sure, no problem."
Sarcazmo47: "The druid circles in Tamerand....more than once you've expressed a dissatisfaction with them."
Sarcazmo47: "I've even heard you speak of founding one of your own."
coughingpuppy: She nods. "Yeah...been thinking about that for a while now, actually. Probably gonna write out some rules and stuff for 'em sooner or later."
Sarcazmo47: He nods.
Sarcazmo47: "Considering...the possible course of future events..."
Sarcazmo47: "What would you say to becoming the archdruid of Tamerand?"
coughingpuppy: Riannon blinks; this obviously had never come into her head. "Well, uh, I wouldn't say no...but I don't think I'm really powerful enough yet..."
Sarcazmo47: He shrugs. "Sometimes power is indirect."
coughingpuppy: "What're you getting at, Skoc?"
Sarcazmo47: "I have certain....obligations. And those obligations mean that soon Tamerand may be in turmoil."
coughingpuppy: "Huh. What obligations are we talking about, here, if you don't mind me asking?"
Sarcazmo47: He pats the holy symbol dangling around his neck.
coughingpuppy: She nods. "Well...I wouldn't mind taking over there, I guess. But I'm gonna have to rush to get this circle started up."
Sarcazmo47: He shakes his head a little.
Sarcazmo47: "I can't be sure what's going to happen..."
Sarcazmo47: "But who lives and who dies is an unknowable quantity right now."
Sarcazmo47: "I want to know that you'll be on hand to pick up the pieces."
Sarcazmo47: "I want to have someone I can trust ruling my forests."
coughingpuppy: Riannon grins. "I'll be more than happy to look after them for you. Thanks for thinking of me."
Sarcazmo47: He laughs.
Sarcazmo47: "Excellent."
Sarcazmo47: "I'm sure Brom will appreciate it."
Sarcazmo47: He actually produces a piece of delicious badger candy and kneels and offers it to Brom.
Sarcazmo47: Delicious badger candy probably comes in the form of a rodent.
coughingpuppy: She takes a look over at the badger, who is probably quite happily devouring the candy. "More than he likes the ship, probably."
Chromeus18: (badger candy?)
Chromeus18: (that sounds like a date rape drug)
Dark Japheth: (rodents and frogs!)
Sarcazmo47: He nods.
Sarcazmo47: "Allright, Riannon. When we get closer to the time, I'll see to it you're informed."
Sarcazmo47: "Some of my plans may call for us to separate for a short time to coordinate certain tasks...I intend to see to it we're in constant communication when that happens."
coughingpuppy: Riannon grins. "You sure you can live with being parted from all of us?"
Sarcazmo47: "I'm more reluctant than you might guess, but sometimes duty calls."
Sarcazmo47: He nods and steps away.
Sarcazmo47: "Landus! A word, if you please."
AndrewRogue: *he turns, continuing his routine* "Yeah Skoc?"
Sarcazmo47: "You remember what you were doing before we met up?"
AndrewRogue: "Yeah. Working with bandits, killing folks and taking their money."
Sarcazmo47: He nods.
Sarcazmo47: "What would you say if I asked to to start doing it again for a little while?"
AndrewRogue: "Er... what?"
AndrewRogue: *he stops*
Sarcazmo47: He sighs. "The army I assembled. The force of bugbears, gnolls, ogres.....all of them."
Sarcazmo47: "They work for me, but they don't know me. I am just a man."
Sarcazmo47: "You're one of them in a way I can't ever be."
AndrewRogue: "And... you want me to start raiding caravans again and stuff?" *he raises an eyebrow*
Sarcazmo47: "When we were in the castle, I observed your actions when not called upon by me. You were comfortable with them, and them with you."
Sarcazmo47: "No."
Sarcazmo47: "I want you to lead my army."
Chromeus18: (General Landus!)
AndrewRogue: "Eh heh... an army Skoc?"
Sarcazmo47: "What else would you call it?"
Sarcazmo47: "I want you to lead them up, to strike at caravans, at soldiers. To ambush traders and merchants and paladins and warriors."
Sarcazmo47: "To pick them apart and vanish into the darkness."
AndrewRogue: "You mind if I ask why exactly?"
Sarcazmo47: "Because they'll follow you, and they won't follow me. Well, they'll take my orders well enough, and I'm a lord they can swear allegiance to - but...." he grins. "I'm also a small, blind human."
Sarcazmo47: "Hardly inspiring on the battlefield."
AndrewRogue: "No no no Skoc. Why the army, why the raids?"
Sarcazmo47: "Ah."
Sarcazmo47: "I have...obligations."
Sarcazmo47: He pats the holy symbol on his chest.
Sarcazmo47: "Tamerand is....a corrupt nation, Landus. It was before me and mine ever set foot in it."
Sarcazmo47: "There's just as much evil in stepping on the poor to live a life of bawdy luxury as there is in killing a child. Because it's the same thing."
Sarcazmo47: "Some might say that the way I would rebuild a nation would be worse. But I don't think so. I think it would be better. More honest."
AndrewRogue: "Two questions for you." *he holds up his hand* "How do you intend to rebuild Tamarand? Second, what does this have to do with your church?"
Sarcazmo47: "Ahhh, everything has to do with the church, Landus. Everything. One church or another. As for rebuilding..."
Sarcazmo47: "With my bare hands, if I have to. But I intend to turn it from one man's lap of luxury to a place where everyone can be happy."
AndrewRogue: Sense'd
Sarcazmo47: "I'm sure you've heard all sorts of things about my clergy, Landus. Some of them might even be true. The fact that I associate with fiends is probably not reassuring."
Sarcazmo47: He is in fact not guarding his words or his body language at all.
Sarcazmo47: He's being very honest.
AndrewRogue: "Not very." *he continues listening, appraising carefully*
Chromeus18: (brb, nature calls)
Sarcazmo47: "But you know me. Better than anyone else, probably. I don't care about fiends, I don't care about the clergy, and I don't care about destruction. I care about doing it right and fulfilling the oaths I made.
Sarcazmo47: I can build a country that flies Shai'tan's banner for the world to see and make it a better place to live that most of Amaryllis."
AndrewRogue: "You see Skoc... that's where most of my problems are coming from. I'm not so sure about rocking the world like this. Power shifts all the time, but nothing ever really changes. And... eh heh... no offense to your God, but
AndrewRogue: to be perfectly honest with you, I want NOTHING to do with Shai'tan or Gabriel or whatever other order wants something done."
Sarcazmo47: "Fine. Fuck him, then."
Sarcazmo47: "Do it because I ask you to. Do it because I pay you to. Do it because it's the way to make sure the Merry Olde Inn still stands in a year."
Sarcazmo47: "Do it because Caradoc is a part of what I'm doing, a part that can't be unraveled, and you know that you can't stand aside and do nothing while this goes down."
Sarcazmo47: "So either fight for me, or tell me I'm wrong and kill me here and now.
Sarcazmo47: "
AndrewRogue: *he gazes straight at Skoc's eyes and stares at him for a long moment*
Sarcazmo47: Skocion looks blindly back.
AndrewRogue: *then he grins* "Eh heh... now that's the Skocion I signed up with. Fine then. You have a man. Just know if it turns out you're lying, then you'll have me to contend with."
Sarcazmo47: ((I would have given you a million points if you killed him.))
Sarcazmo47: "That's a relief. I don't lie."
AndrewRogue: "You don't. You manipulate the truth."
Sarcazmo47: He clucks his cheek, shrugs, and turns to twalk away.
Chromeus18: back
AndrewRogue: "Just remember it Skoc. Keep true to your ideals or whatever. Fuck Gix. Fuck Shai'tan."
AndrewRogue: *and he turns to resume his routine*
Sarcazmo47: Foomp.
Sarcazmo47: "Krist! A moment of your time."
Chromeus18: Krist is at the bow of the ship, looking out towards the elementals pulling the boat. "Yes?"
Sarcazmo47: "Soon I'm going to be doing some things that will be...risky."
Sarcazmo47: "Everyone will have a part to play in what comes, but yours may be a bit less glamorous than others."
Sarcazmo47: "Everyone else has something they need to trigger, but you....I want you at my back."
Chromeus18: "What do you mean?"
Sarcazmo47: "I mean I intend to walk into the den of my enemies, and the only one I can trust to stand beside me and keep me alive is you."
Chromeus18: Krist blinks, and his breathing shallows a bit. "Where will the rest be."
Sarcazmo47: "Landus will be leading an army. Riannon will be gathering the forces of nature."
Sarcazmo47: "The fiends will keep this ship on its course."
Chromeus18: "And... where will we be going?" Krist thinks he knows the answer already.
Sarcazmo47: "And you and I....will be in the capital, seducing the king's daughter."
Chromeus18: "I see. What are your intentions for this plan?"
Sarcazmo47: "I intend to hold Tamerand in my fist."
Chromeus18: "Skocion the Usurper. Has a nice ring to it. I will do my part beyond the best of my ability, brethren."
Sarcazmo47: Skocion grins at the title.
Dark Japheth: At this, a deep voice seems to murmur. "If only that was your true Title, Azoth."
Chromeus18: (do I hear it?)
Dark Japheth: A shadow, large, and dark, is on the deck, slowly advancing. But its not very large. And there isn't anything to cast this shadow.
Dark Japheth: Yep.
Dark Japheth: So does everyone on the deck.
Sarcazmo47: Skocion turns slowly.
AndrewRogue: *looks at it* "Eh heh..."
Sarcazmo47: He doesn't speak. He just waits.
Chromeus18: Krist's throat expands, and he steps forward, in front of Skocion but kinda to the side.
AndrewRogue: *approaches casually and carefully*
Chromeus18: And he calmly takes his scythe in hand, propping it's blade against the deck.
Dark Japheth: "Put it away, Frog."
Dark Japheth: (underline that.)
AndrewRogue: "Sheesh. You know the shadow Skoc?"
Sarcazmo47: Skocion gestures for Krist to stand down.
Sarcazmo47: "I might. Are you here on an errand?"
Dark Japheth: It begins to fade back in. As the invisibility is countered, Azazel stands before you.
Chromeus18: Krist drops it.
Dark Japheth: "Hardly."
Sarcazmo47: "Is there an issue that needs be addressed, then?"
Dark Japheth: "For one..." he seems to toss a small ball of green flame between his hands, almost juggling it. "Whom exactly will be left upon this ship?"
Sarcazmo47: He smiles slightly. "Aram. And the manes. And the crew."
coughingpuppy: Riannon eyes the pit fiend, curling her fingers into Brom's fur. "What the hell's he mean, Skocion?"
Dark Japheth: "And what role, exactly, will I be taking in your grand plan to create a country openly dedicated to serving the Master?"
Sarcazmo47: "You think I mean to dictate your role? I would not be so presumptious. I can most certainly make my suggestions, but I am certain you already know more than I can hope to suggest.
Sarcazmo47: And have undoubtedly already conceived every plan I might offer."
Dark Japheth: "No, I merely asked what role I would be taking. Will I rule it, do you think, or will I do as I have done previously?"
Dark Japheth: "Perhaps I shall start a small church? Or head a large one?"
Sarcazmo47: "Do you have a wish to rule a realm of mortals?"
Dark Japheth: "The Unrepentant do need a savior, proof of their faith, to affirm the usefulness of their pitiful mortal lives."
Sarcazmo47: His eyes actually narrow a bit.
Sarcazmo47: "I would ask of you to rebuild the stagnant festering filth that is the church of the Black Lord today."
Sarcazmo47: "Those initiated are done so for the wrong reasons and taught the wrong things."
Sarcazmo47: "And those that should do the most in the Black Lord's service are too busy killing each other to risk anything that might actually serve his will."
Sarcazmo47: "It is high time the church changed. The world left it behind a long time ago."
Dark Japheth: "A worthy task. How do you know, perhaps, that this does not benefit Azazel?" He isn't really asking a question, for anyone who sense motives, but he's... stating something. Or prodding you.
AndrewRogue: Meh. I'll Sense the Motive.
coughingpuppy: Riannon is trying to follow all this, frowning. She's not really sure what she thinks of the pit fiend, really.
Sarcazmo47: "How do I know?"
Chromeus18: Krist remains silent.
Sarcazmo47: His brow furrows.
Sarcazmo47: You know...
Sarcazmo47: This would be an excellent time to make a knowledge check about Azazel specifically.
Dark Japheth: I bet it would.
*OnlineHost*: Sarcazmo47 rolled 1 20-sided die: 4
Chromeus18: history help any?
Sarcazmo47: yay for 15.
Sarcazmo47: Religion.
*OnlineHost*: Sarcazmo47 rolled 2 20-sided dice: 8 10
Dark Japheth: You know, go for a history check.
*OnlineHost*: Chromeus18 rolled 1 20-sided die: 7
Sarcazmo47: Knowledge nobility, too!
Chromeus18: 16
Sarcazmo47: Blork.
coughingpuppy: I don't think Nature would help, sadly...
Sarcazmo47: Anyway, yes, his line stands.
Dark Japheth: Nature might help.
Dark Japheth: Couldn't hurt to try.
*OnlineHost*: coughingpuppy rolled 1 20-sided die: 12
coughingpuppy: Um...20.
Sarcazmo47: Soooo.
Sarcazmo47: Skocion said more or less "what?"
Chromeus18: Krist remains silent, mostly until Azazel does something out of line.
Sarcazmo47: At which point he will....what? Die?
Dark Japheth: He is just grinning, and not responding. "Why do you think the church displeases me and needs reformation?"
coughingpuppy: Riannon sighs and resigns herself to not getting ANYTHING comprehensible out of this conversation.
Sarcazmo47: "I don't know why it might displease you. I care that it displeases the Black Lord. And it needs reformation because it is worthless." He almost hisses the last word "They're so caught up in retaining their ranks
Chromeus18: Krist blinks, his throat convulsing slowly and rhythmically.
Sarcazmo47: and commanding their subordinates that they've forgotten what it means to actually fight for what the believe in."
Dark Japheth: "Passion does not befit the servitors of the First and Forsaken Lord."
Sarcazmo47: "Nor does complacency!"
Dark Japheth: He grins. "You are coming back, Gix-Azoth."
Sarcazmo47: Skocion blinks slowly.
Dark Japheth: "I had almost begun to miss you."
Sarcazmo47: "Then I'll try not to disappoint you."
Dark Japheth: It turns and begins walking down to the hold. "You are far smarter than before, I must admit."
Sarcazmo47: "And you are the same as ever, I'm sure."
Dark Japheth: "And I hope more patient. We don't want this to be like last time." He begins lumbering across the deck, his tail swaying from side to side as he descends.
Sarcazmo47: Skocion makes an irritated buzzing noise. You've all heard it before.
Chromeus18: Krist picks up his scythe, resheathing it. He starts to speak, and turns back to face the sea.
Sarcazmo47: Skocion....goes to the captain and makes plans for the party to be put off where they can get to Castle Grym quickly.
Sarcazmo47: And then goes downstairs.
Sarcazmo47: To talk to Azazel some more.
Dark Japheth: That would be docking in the southern port at Rivas Kul. Leaving you approximately two days on horseback through a tunnel.
Sarcazmo47: The ship will continue its course to Tamerand and begin a blockade.
Sarcazmo47: By itself.
Sarcazmo47: Okay.
AndrewRogue: *Landus frowns and stares at Skocion's back... then resumes hiw work out. One might notice it picks up in pace. And he'll later arrange to speak with Skocion an evening near docking time.*
Sarcazmo47: Allrighty!
Chromeus18: Krist stays at the bow until nightfall.
Chromeus18: Almost oblivious to the setting sun.
Chromeus18: and if nothing extraordinary happens, he then plods to his bunk to sleep.
Dark Japheth: Fast forward, or does anyone have any last minute RP for the ship and its crew.
coughingpuppy: I don't think so.
AndrewRogue: Yah. Me 'n Kirk
AndrewRogue: -_-
AndrewRogue: Night before docking.
Sarcazmo47: Yup.
Sarcazmo47: We find a nice quiet part of the deck.
Sarcazmo47: Where most people aren't around.
Sarcazmo47: Skocion starts smoking.
Sarcazmo47: "Yeah, Landus?"
AndrewRogue: "Well Skoc... I thought your offer over."
Sarcazmo47: He nods slowly.
AndrewRogue: "And I thought about all you said. And that whole conversation with the Azz."
Sarcazmo47: "Yeah?"
Sarcazmo47: Drag.
AndrewRogue: "And to be honest with you, I don't like where this is going Skoc. Call it me going soft, or me just not liking devils or whatever. But this isn't where I want to be going."
Sarcazmo47: Skocion nods.
AndrewRogue: "Maybe you've got a good idea... but I'm not too apt on the idea of the clergy having anything to do with Tamarand."
Sarcazmo47: He waits.
AndrewRogue: (BRB! ONE SEC!)
AndrewRogue: "This isn't going to end well."
Sarcazmo47: "Maybe not." He doesn't offer it as an affirmation or an argument, just a simple observation.
AndrewRogue: "Consorting with demons and devils and the overthrow of the government. Why not reconsider this? You still have the bandit gig and everything."
Sarcazmo47: "Are you trying to talk me out of this?"
Sarcazmo47: He sounds gently bemeaused.
AndrewRogue: "Yeah."
Sarcazmo47: "I appreciate i."
Sarcazmo47: He takes another long drag. "But I can't."
Sarcazmo47: *it
AndrewRogue: "And why is that?"
Sarcazmo47: "Because I have to do something, Landus. I can't just stand aside and let the world go by as it will. I've got to try to change it. Somehow."
Chromeus18: (lag?)
AndrewRogue: *he sighs* "And I have to stop running away from myself and face up to what I've done and who I've become."
Sarcazmo47: Sense Motive!
*OnlineHost*: Sarcazmo47 rolled 1 20-sided die: 5
Sarcazmo47: Fifteenish, I think.
AndrewRogue: He's having massive reconsiderations about the way he has lived up to this point. He does think he's been doing the wrong thing up this point, just forcing himself out of a prescribed necessity.
AndrewRogue: Now that prescribed necessity is gone. And he's gotta atone for what he did.
Sarcazmo47: Does that mean he's leading up to asskicking?
AndrewRogue: Yep. He's going to defend what he thinks matters and stop this.
AndrewRogue: So... inits I think.
Sarcazmo47: Uh..
Sarcazmo47: Hmm.
AndrewRogue: Unless Skoc wants to talk more ^_^
Sarcazmo47: Will he give Skocion a chance to answer?
AndrewRogue: Yes. He's waiting.
Sarcazmo47: "And there's no way I could get you to reconsider?"
AndrewRogue: "Without stopping this plan of yours? Not really."
Sarcazmo47: Skocion sighs. "Do you know the poem, Vladimir's Call?"
AndrewRogue: "Never head of it."
Sarcazmo47: "I'm sorry. It's a very good poem. The writer speaks of many things, but the one that moved me the most was how that which you loved the most was always that which killed you in the end. A fatal weakness, as it were."
AndrewRogue: "Eh heh... Funny how that works. Seems pretty true."
Sarcazmo47: "Many people believe that friendship is an error, trust foolish, and love tantamount to suicide."
Sarcazmo47: "I defy them all. My trusted friends, my brothers...I wouldn't give them up. Never. No matter how much it breaks me to lose one."
Sarcazmo47: He takes another drag.
Sarcazmo47: "Should I draw, then?"
Sarcazmo47: He's still leaning on the railing.
Chromeus18: (Krist should soooo be there..)
coughingpuppy: ((Ri would break them up. :-())
AndrewRogue: "That's your choice Skoc. I'm just doing what I have to."
Sarcazmo47: Skocion nods, finishes his cigarra, and tosses it over his shoulder. He leans up off the railing and drops his hand to the hilt of his sword...and in the moonlight....you can see tears.
AndrewRogue: (I apologize in advance for this guys.)
AndrewRogue: "Its nice to see you care Skocion." *he's dead serious as he falls back into a fighting stance* "If I don't win... eh heh... prove me wrong and don't ruin things. All right?"
AndrewRogue: "And... eh heh... tell Caradoc I'm sorry."
Sarcazmo47: Skocion nods. "If you do win.....don't forget who I was. All if it."
coughingpuppy: :'(
Sarcazmo47: "And tell her...that I'm sorry, too."
AndrewRogue: "It's a deal."
Sarcazmo47: Skocion draws, salutes, and falls into a stance.
Sarcazmo47: Yay for initiatives!
*OnlineHost*: Sarcazmo47 rolled 1 20-sided die: 19
*OnlineHost*: AndrewRogue rolled 1 20-sided die: 7
Sarcazmo47: Mmmmmm.
AndrewRogue: I'm thinking Skoc wins.
Sarcazmo47: I'm thinking so too.
Sarcazmo47: I see no reason to call anyone flat footed, considering.
Dark Japheth: Yeah.
Sarcazmo47: Soo...he moves and attacks.
*OnlineHost*: Sarcazmo47 rolled 2 20-sided dice: 6 7
Sarcazmo47: Neither of which, I believe, hit.
AndrewRogue: AC- 23
Sarcazmo47: 20 and.....21.
Sarcazmo47: So no.
Sarcazmo47: They do not.
Sarcazmo47: Your turn.
AndrewRogue: *Landus evades carefully, and brings his palm about to hammer it into Skocion's chest*
AndrewRogue: Stunning Fist Number 1 being used.
*OnlineHost*: AndrewRogue rolled 1 20-sided die: 12
AndrewRogue: 22?
Sarcazmo47: No go.
Sarcazmo47: The buckler gets in the way.
AndrewRogue: Done.
Sarcazmo47: ...
Sarcazmo47: No flurry?
Sarcazmo47: Allrighty.
Sarcazmo47: He continues attacksizing.
*OnlineHost*: Sarcazmo47 rolled 3 20-sided dice: 7 12 2
Sarcazmo47: One hit.
Sarcazmo47: /roll -dice5 -sides6
*OnlineHost*: Sarcazmo47 rolled 5 6-sided dice: 3 5 5 2 5
Sarcazmo47: 3 phsyical, ten cold, seven subdual.
Sarcazmo47: And...
Sarcazmo47: Seven more from Str and enhancement.
Sarcazmo47: Plus Wisdom damage over the course of a month!
AndrewRogue: When does that kick in?
Sarcazmo47: Not for a while.
Sarcazmo47: A long while.
Sarcazmo47: Carry on. Your turn.
AndrewRogue: *Landus gasps for breath as that cuts deeply into his side. He hops back and tosses a small fuzzy ball in front of him*
*OnlineHost*: AndrewRogue rolled 1 100-sided die: 22
Sarcazmo47: Five foot step, there?
AndrewRogue: Yeah.
Sarcazmo47: Righto.
Chromeus18: (tiger vs. hellcat, i think i know the winner)
Dark Japheth: (Either way, it ties up Skocion's use of the hellcat.)
Dark Japheth: (Which is good, I should think.)
AndrewRogue: *it turns into a Brown Bear*
Sarcazmo47: Excellent.
Sarcazmo47: Does it go now or later?
Sarcazmo47: During the next round?
Sarcazmo47: On in this round?
AndrewRogue: I think we determined it acts on init zero next turn.
Dark Japheth: I believe it goes this round at 0 init.
Sarcazmo47: Okie dokie.
Sarcazmo47: Then it goes next.
AndrewRogue: It attempts to maul Skocion.
*OnlineHost*: AndrewRogue rolled 3 20-sided dice: 10 5 2
Sarcazmo47: Shock! Gasp!
AndrewRogue: 21/16/8
Sarcazmo47: No go.
Sarcazmo47: It fails it's maul check.
AndrewRogue: Done.
Sarcazmo47: Skocion, for his part, takes a five foot step past the brown bear (diagonally for the grid minded) and takes his attacks on Landus.
*OnlineHost*: Sarcazmo47 rolled 1 20-sided die: 18
*OnlineHost*: Sarcazmo47 rolled 5 6-sided dice: 2 3 1 1 2
Sarcazmo47: 5 physical damage..

Sarcazmo47: and 3 subdual damage.
AndrewRogue: Crit Skoc.
Sarcazmo47: No.
Sarcazmo47: He's pulling his punches.
AndrewRogue: <.<
Sarcazmo47: Do you go down?
Dark Japheth: Yes.
Dark Japheth: I believe.
Sarcazmo47: Right.
AndrewRogue: Yep.
Dark Japheth: Unconscious, as 10 is subdual.
Sarcazmo47: He proceeds to dismember the bear in short order.
AndrewRogue: *Landus staggers and grits his teeth and then whomp, falls on the floor* "Eh... h...eh..."
Dark Japheth: Which won't resist, as it can't without the master to guide it.
Sarcazmo47: Skocion, now.
Sarcazmo47: He looks down at Landus, still with tear-filled eyes. "I'm sorry this happened Landus. I wish it didn't. And I always will."
Sarcazmo47: And.......subdual coup-de-grace as he smashes your face in with the hilt of his sword, after swapping it over to his not cold hand.
*OnlineHost*: Sarcazmo47 rolled 1 6-sided die: 4
Sarcazmo47: 22 subdual.
Sarcazmo47: Out like a light.
Sarcazmo47: A broken light.
Chromeus18: (not dead though, at least!)
Sarcazmo47: Yar.
Sarcazmo47: Are we within rowing distance of shore?
Dark Japheth: Yes. Maybe another hour or so, and the juggernaut will be there.
Sarcazmo47: Fine. He loads Landus into a small rowboat, gets in, launches it, and heads out in a direction away from where the ship will be landing.
Sarcazmo47: He rows his little heart out until he gets there.
Dark Japheth: Alright. You are in a small city, known as Toakoa.
Sarcazmo47: He pulls the boat up onto the shore, pulls out a sunrod, and proceeds to begin writing a letter.
Dark Japheth: The slight rain seems blisteringly cold, though you know its not.
Sarcazmo47: Once it's written, he tucks it into a purseful of coins, sets the purse among Landus's posessions, then picks him up bodily and carries him towards the nearest house.
Dark Japheth: Its rather small. There is a thatched roof, and a simple brick structure. The door is made of wood, and though it is nearly two in the morning, a candle has been left by the windowsill, burning slightly.
Dark Japheth: It seems forgotten.
Sarcazmo47: Skocion knocks loudly.
Dark Japheth: After about ten minutes, a man, haggard and dressed in a simple robe, comes to the door, with a shepherds crook in one hand. "Who are you?" He's more sleepy than scared, but its both.
Sarcazmo47: Skocion sounds haggard. "I'm a boatman, and I found this fellow, greviously injured. Please, I have no skil in medicine...can you help him?"
Sarcazmo47: He's got a harpy over his shoulders in the fireman's carry.
Dark Japheth: "...I... I think I can." He puts down the shepherds crook, and takes him from you.
Sarcazmo47: Skocion nods. "Please, be careful. It looks like he's been through a lot."
Dark Japheth: "I'll get some bandages." He rushes inside quickly, and then back outside.
Dark Japheth: With the harpy in his arms.
Dark Japheth: He's fairly strong.
Sarcazmo47: Skocion leaves as soon as the man turns his back.
Dark Japheth: ...awww.
Sarcazmo47: Back into the dark and the rain.
Dark Japheth: He says "Boatman? Boatman?" but you never hear him.
Chromeus18: poor Landus
Sarcazmo47: The note!
Sarcazmo47: The note says this.
Sarcazmo47: "Landus -
Sarcazmo47: I'm sorry. I'm sorry and I can't ask you to forgive me. This money is for you - it's your pay in advance for the next year for your job as Bouncer of the Merry Olde Inn.
Sarcazmo47: Don't get caught up in this anymore. You don't have to. Look out for Caradoc. Keep the place in once piece. Keep the faith, and enjoy the vacation. You've earned it.
Sarcazmo47: -Skocion"
tortgurt has entered the room.
Chromeus18: (you missed... alot)
tortgurt: (I could imagine)
Chromeus18: and uh...
Sarcazmo47: Chrome says uh?
Sarcazmo47: Is that a good uh or a bad uh?
Chromeus18: well, it's a slow uh
AndrewRogue: I think Skoc has to row back.
Sarcazmo47: yes.
Sarcazmo47: He does that.
Sarcazmo47: And then Kirk considers stopping for the night. What do you all think?
coughingpuppy: Sleepy...
Dark Japheth: I think the song of the moment is "Wherever you will go"
Sarcazmo47: Never heard that one.
Chromeus18: i can go on for a bit longer, if we do go on.
tortgurt: heh, i could go on allllll night, damn myself for just wakeing up...
coughingpuppy has left the room.
Chromeus18: so, gorth?
Sarcazmo47: Soooo.
Sarcazmo47: Hmmm.
AndrewRogue: Hmm indeed.
Dark Japheth: I don't know.
Sarcazmo47: Hmmmmmmm.
Dark Japheth: See. I had an epilogue scene all played out in my head.
Dark Japheth: By the way, Kirk. Get rid of one vile point on your sheet.
Sarcazmo47: Uhh.okay.
Sarcazmo47: Do I get a different kind of point instead?
Dark Japheth: Sadly, no.
Sarcazmo47: Like....a gay point?
Chromeus18: a happy love bear point!
Sarcazmo47: Or a sap point?
Dark Japheth: Drama, I suppose.
Sarcazmo47: A Drama Point!
Sarcazmo47: I will use it when he acts again.
Sarcazmo47: So, you had an epilogue.
Sarcazmo47: And I fucked it up?
Dark Japheth: Well.
Dark Japheth: Actually.
Dark Japheth: It would have likely resulted in Philemon restoring him to life, for exactly one year to do things he wanted to do. Like see more of Caradoc. And then, at the end of that time, his wounds would return, and he would die.
Dark Japheth: It was all poignant and now I don't have to deux ex ressurectica to bring him back.
Sarcazmo47: So I fucked it up.
Sarcazmo47: Sorry.
AndrewRogue: There's always the chance of him dying in the ensuing chaos of Skoc's plans.
Sarcazmo47: Not...really...
AndrewRogue: <.<
AndrewRogue: >.>
Sarcazmo47: Not considering his level of badassitude when compared to your average person or soldier.
Dark Japheth: Skocion is lawful.
Sarcazmo47: Yes.
Dark Japheth: If Chaos happens
Dark Japheth: He's gunna get punished big time.
AndrewRogue: Oh yeah.
AndrewRogue: Worshipping Shai'tan and all.
Dark Japheth: By the pit fiend, the Kyton, and I don't even need to mention his superiors.
AndrewRogue: Bah on Kytons.
AndrewRogue: We took one.
AndrewRogue: <.<
Dark Japheth: Its SHAITAN! Not Shai'tan! DO YOU THINK THIS IS WHEEL OF TIME?
Dark Japheth: Not one in FULL PLATE
Dark Japheth: Boom baby.
Chromeus18: full plate, schmull plate
AndrewRogue: Kirk used the apostrophe.
Sarcazmo47: Is that the Master Of Chains Kyton?
AndrewRogue: It looks stylish.
Sarcazmo47: I do use the apostrophe.
Sarcazmo47: That's the name Gorth provided me with.
Sarcazmo47: Did it change?
Dark Japheth: ...Whoops.
Dark Japheth: No, it didn't. Its just a pronounciation thing
Dark Japheth: depends on things.
Dark Japheth: Each of the devils has opportunities for incredible RPing there if you pursue it. And you research things.
Sarcazmo47: Nifty
Sarcazmo47: I dare any of them but the Pit Fiend to make a smartass comment to Skocion.
Sarcazmo47: I dare any of the crew to do it.
AndrewRogue: Oh yes. Skoc has to return to the boat.
AndrewRogue: DO THE SCENE
Sarcazmo47: What, rowing back to the ship?
Sarcazmo47: He....does so.
Sarcazmo47: It's probably getting to be dawn by the time he gets back.
Dark Japheth: When you get there, the crew is standing by, and nobody says a thing. They pull your boat back up to the side, and nobody says a word.
Sarcazmo47: Ah.
Sarcazmo47: But they know.
Dark Japheth: Every last one, by now.
Sarcazmo47: He is most certainly not crying now.
Sarcazmo47: His face is a landscape of neutrality.
Dark Japheth: Most everyone is awake. The Pit Fiend is not to be seen, the Barbazu is sitting in the corner and saying nothing, but looking at his osyluths waiting for THEM to say something.
Dark Japheth: So he can prove himself a good leader by shutting them up before you can.
Sarcazmo47: He.
Sarcazmo47: Skocion gets pulled up, dusts himself off for a moment, then turns his gaze on all of them, slowly.
Dark Japheth: The Kyton stands there, with his armor red hot, and the rain gently plinking and steaming off it.
Sarcazmo47: He finally speaks.
Sarcazmo47: "Go about your duties."
Sarcazmo47: It's a low tone.
Sarcazmo47: As neutral as it gets.
Dark Japheth: It takes a moment for it to sink in, and then, those who were off duty begin scrambling back to their quarters.
Sarcazmo47: No underlying threat, no friendliness, no false pretenses.
Dark Japheth: And those who were on duty resume as such.
Sarcazmo47: Then he takes a deep breath and bellows, "KRIST!"
Chromeus18: Krist snaps awake, and heads up to the deck.
Chromeus18: "You called Skocion?"
Sarcazmo47: Tort, what was your char's name?
tortgurt: (Barrit)
Sarcazmo47: "Get Barrit and Riannon."
Sarcazmo47: "We're taking the next step."
Chromeus18: "....Yes." Krist does so, knocking on Ri's door and retrieving her, then knocking on Barrit's.
tortgurt: *rolls over and opens the door* "Yes?"
Chromeus18: "Skocion summons us. Follow me."
Chromeus18: Krist instinctively heads to Landus's door and knocks.
tortgurt: *gathers his stuff and heads up on deck*
Chromeus18: Of course, there is no answer, so Krist opens the door and looks inside "Landus?"
Chromeus18: Krist heads up to deck. "Everyone is here Skocion. I could not find Landus though."
Sarcazmo47: "Yes."
Sarcazmo47: He heads back to the jetty without another word of explaination.
Chromeus18: Krist follows. "We are leaving Landus then?"
Sarcazmo47: "I set Landus on another task."
Sarcazmo47: "One he may never return to us from."
Chromeus18: Krist pries no further until everyone is on the smaller boat, and out of earshot from the rest of the crew.
Sarcazmo47: The boat is launched efficiently.
Chromeus18: "Where is Landus?"
tortgurt: *gazes off into the surounding horizon*
Sarcazmo47: "Gone."
Chromeus18: "What happened?"
Sarcazmo47: "He tried to kill me."
Chromeus18: Krist blinks. Twice. Then a third time. "I see you arose the victor. Where is his body?"
Sarcazmo47: "In a house, somewhere."
Chromeus18: Krist's eyes widen. "So.. is he dead or not?"
Sarcazmo47: "I don't know."
Chromeus18: Krist is silent for a few minutes, before speaking again. "So.. what instigated this?"
Sarcazmo47: "Love."
Sarcazmo47: "A sister, a liar, and a lover, I think."
Sarcazmo47: "And the fact that he loved them all."
Chromeus18: "I'm not quite sure I follow... But I'll think on it."
Sarcazmo47: Skocion just nods.
Sarcazmo47: "I won't be able to have you at my back this time as I planned."
Sarcazmo47: "I'll need you to lead the Malleus Iniquuis."
Chromeus18: "Are you certain you'll be safe?"
Sarcazmo47: "No."
Chromeus18: Krist blinks again, and swallows. "What will you have our newest recruit do?"
Sarcazmo47: "Help you."
Sarcazmo47: "What I will do next, I will do alone."
tortgurt: *looks over his sholder* "allright then"
Chromeus18: "Your orders are noted. Be on your best guard, Skocion. I may not find a man as trustworthy as you to help me if you fall."
Chromeus18: Krist reaches into his blanketcloak for something, but he realizes he doesn't have it anymore.
Dark Japheth: Did you ever get a sculpture of Landus?
Chromeus18: nope
Dark Japheth: Aww.
Chromeus18: that pair of drumsticks wasn't worth Krist's time.
Dark Japheth: Awwww!
Sarcazmo47: Anyhoo.
Chromeus18: kinda wish I did now though
tortgurt: heh
Sarcazmo47: They get back to the shore, then to a concealed cave enterance.
Sarcazmo47: From there to a cavern, and from there to an underground castle.
Dark Japheth: Its actually a two day journey.
Dark Japheth: Who goes with you?
Sarcazmo47: The PC's.
Sarcazmo47: And Aram.
Sarcazmo47: If he finished the Sword On A Stick.
Dark Japheth: Do you invite the pit fiend?
Dark Japheth: He did.
Sarcazmo47: HAHAHAHA sue.
Dark Japheth: He is working on something new, though.
Sarcazmo47: *sure
Dark Japheth: He doesn't come, though.
Sarcazmo47: Aww.
Sarcazmo47: So, just Aram.
Dark Japheth: He's going to fly to Tamerand to speak with the clergy there.
Dark Japheth: Aram, good old aram.
Dark Japheth: I'll figure out stats for him someday, I hope.
Chromeus18: Krist is wearing it on his back now, a black all metal scythe with steel veins running from the handle to blade.
Sarcazmo47: Well, you just keep doing your thing, Pit Fiend.
Sarcazmo47: Anyway.
Sarcazmo47: The castle!@
Sarcazmo47: Yay for the castle!
Chromeus18: Krist is very solemn during the trip underground.
Dark Japheth: Still tall and dark and imposing.
Dark Japheth: You can't help but feel something is missing
Sarcazmo47: He comissions the immediate creation of circlets of telepathy! Oh, wait. He can't. Rings of sending, or something that lets them communicate while seperated.
Dark Japheth: Circlets of Telepathy?
Dark Japheth: Easily, easily done.
Sarcazmo47: Oh.
Sarcazmo47: Cool!
Sarcazmo47: CIRCLETS OF TELEPATHY MEANS IT'S REALLY AMARYLLIS!
Chromeus18: (Chrys, the only campaign without circlets of telepathy :P)
tortgurt: (heh)
AndrewRogue: (Rings of Empathy though <.<)
Sarcazmo47: Anyhoo.
Sarcazmo47: Yeah.
Chromeus18: (for married couples, that's a standard)
Dark Japheth: How do the circlets look?
Sarcazmo47: Skocion tells Krist to take charge of the Malleus and raid the surface. Kill soldiers, kill merchants, kill caravans, kill paladins - guerilla tactics.
Sarcazmo47: Attack, steal, and melt back into darkness.
Sarcazmo47: How do they look?
Sarcazmo47: Fuck if I know.
Dark Japheth: You will need, naturally, to give him the Malleus stats (or at least the numbers of things he has)
Chromeus18: Krist nods.
Dark Japheth: Well.
Dark Japheth: You *are* commissioning them.
Sarcazmo47: A simple black steel band with a red gem will do.
Dark Japheth: So you get to describe them. Ok.
Sarcazmo47: Ah.
Sarcazmo47: Cold Iron.
Sarcazmo47: Why?
Sarcazmo47: Because.
Sarcazmo47: Malleus stats...
Sarcazmo47: Uh....fuck.
Dark Japheth: You can take it off and hit fey with it for full damage!
Sarcazmo47: Check the logs.
Dark Japheth: *will do so*
Chromeus18: I'm not sure I have that log
Sarcazmo47: It's online.
AndrewRogue: That one is up on the site.
AndrewRogue: <.<
Chromeus18: ok
Sarcazmo47: Anyhoo.
Sarcazmo47: He tells Aram.....nothing, because Aram sets himself up in the forge and starts making shit like it's his JOB.
Sarcazmo47: The wizards are psions are all like "Dude, you rock."
Chromeus18: While Skocion is busy setting things up, Krist takes Barrit aside for a little chat.
Sarcazmo47: Should we pause for XP?
Chromeus18: (are we pausing?)
tortgurt: (if you want)
Sarcazmo47: Nah.
Sarcazmo47: I'm awake now.
Dark Japheth: XP.
Dark Japheth: Hmm.
Sarcazmo47: Carry on.
Chromeus18: Then Krist takes Barrit to one of the bedrooms, and has him sit down
Sarcazmo47: There are three parts to this - two, since Staci is not here.
Sarcazmo47: You guys have the combat.
Dark Japheth: Between the RP sessions last night, and of tonights actions and excellent RP
Dark Japheth: Everyone, gain one level. Except Tort. For now, until he gets a really good scene.
Chromeus18: whee!
Sarcazmo47: Riannon has the diplomacy with the druids and the servants of nature.
*OnlineHost*: Chromeus18 rolled 2 10-sided dice: 5 4
Sarcazmo47: The Avarkem has the blockade.
Sarcazmo47: And Skocion has the court intrigue.
Sarcazmo47: We can do it in whatever order you like.
Dark Japheth: Well
Dark Japheth: I'm like, spent
Sarcazmo47: What?
Sarcazmo47: Bitch!
Chromeus18: lmao
Dark Japheth: Ok.
AndrewRogue: We did all the work <.<
Dark Japheth: YOU SUCK
tortgurt: heh
AndrewRogue: ;_;
Dark Japheth: Oh thats good, andy.
Dark Japheth: :P
Dark Japheth: For that
Sarcazmo47: What Andrew said!
Dark Japheth: You gain six levels.
Dark Japheth: ...wait.
Dark Japheth: No, you forget them anyway head trauma and all.
AndrewRogue: Awww.
Sarcazmo47: Gorth, you make me CRY.
AndrewRogue: YOU'RE RUINING MY LEVEL UP PROCESS
AndrewRogue: <.<
Sarcazmo47: You're ruining my face!
Chromeus18: FAAAACE
Dark Japheth: Oh FINE
Sarcazmo47: You two should do your scene.
Dark Japheth: Pick an order.
Dark Japheth: :P
AndrewRogue: Krist and Barrit!
Sarcazmo47: Krist And Barrit!
Chromeus18: Krist is standing before Barrit, pacing back and forth.
tortgurt: *sits on some sort of surrface, bed chair somthing*
tortgurt: "And so what did you want to talk about?"
Chromeus18: "Skocion-san has ordered us to take the offensive. We will be stopping the commerce and travel to Tamerand. While I do not question his orders, I fear for his safety."
Chromeus18: "So if you permit, I'd like to extract a vow from you."
tortgurt: "And what vow would that be?"
Chromeus18: "Firstly, that you will watch very closely what I do, and what our forces do, so that if anything befalls me, you can take over with little disruption."
Chromeus18: "Secondly...." Krist stops for a moment, thinking. "If Skocion comes under any harm, I will go to aid. That is a condition that reflects the first."
Chromeus18: "In return, I will grant anything in my power to assure your service."
tortgurt: *cracks a partial grin* "It is noble of you to want to rush to his side, and i dont belive that i would have much of a problem learning to emulate you, but I wonder...."
tortgurt: "I cant say that i know the man very well, but it might be that Skocion might not want you there"
Chromeus18: "That is not the case. Plans have.. changed with the departure of Landus. I'm now thrust with the responsibility he was given."
Chromeus18: "If for any reason, I have to leave or fall to an enemy, this responsibility will be thrust on you."
Chromeus18: "You may state your conditions, and if I am able, I will grant them."
Chromeus18: "And if I can't, I can ask Skocion if he can."
tortgurt: "That will be fine I guess; as of now no exact conditions fly to my mind, but I will rember this offer if somthing arises"
Chromeus18: "Are you sure? I have money, items of power, all that I'll part with, in return for your leave to assist Skocion if trouble arises."
Chromeus18: "Do you need someone dead? I'll return their head to you."
tortgurt: at that remark Barrits face falls blank
Chromeus18: "Yes?"
tortgurt: "No.... that isn't an option yet... I guess though that we could just allways leave it at, you owe me one; if somthing comes up I'll let you know"
Chromeus18: Krist blinks once, then twice. He sighs. "I thank you. Let us seal this deal." Krist extends his hand.
tortgurt: *Barrit meets his outstreached hand* "No worries"
Chromeus18: Krist grips it firmly. Like a stone gauntlet encasing your hand. He then releases his grip, and opens the door for Barrit. "Let us head back. I'd appreciate it if this deal was kept between us."
tortgurt: "My lips are sealed" *stands and walks out the door*
Chromeus18: (i'm thinking about making a PrC for the bond of Soul Brethren, i think it'd be neat)
Chromeus18: next?
tortgurt: (soul brethren?)
Sarcazmo47: Next is either........lots of dice, which is kind of boring, or watching Kirk RP with Gorth, which is not very exciting either.
Chromeus18: (it's just a bond that Krist makes with someone, i'm thinking about making a 5 level PrC for it.)
tortgurt: (could be cool)
Dark Japheth: Well dudes, pick.
Chromeus18: I suggest Kirk and Gorth RP.
tortgurt: sounds allright in my book, i could use the time to brush my teeth....
Dark Japheth: If that is the case, I will go remake coffee. This will take five minutes or so.
Chromeus18: (would Skocion be interested in taking a 5 level PrC? Assuming gorth allows it?)
Dark Japheth: Heyhey! The shitweasel made me coffee
Dark Japheth: in exchange for taking up the PS2 all night
Chromeus18: aww
Sarcazmo47: What would it do?
Sarcazmo47: Probably not, but tell me about it anyway.
Chromeus18: I dunno, I suppose bonuses for both parties, depending on situations. A PrC :P
Chromeus18: Let me make it first, I'll try and do that tomorrow.
Dark Japheth: Like a mini-heartfelt defender.
Chromeus18: Not as powerful as that, but more focused on one person.
Chromeus18: i.e. you might get defense bonuses, i'd get attack bonuses against anything attacking you, etc.
Chromeus18: we'll talk about it later, let's go!
Sarcazmo47: Go go?
Sarcazmo47: GO YOUR FACE!
Sarcazmo47: Skocion...
Sarcazmo47: Walks into the capitol.
Dark Japheth: Ah.
Sarcazmo47: By his fucking lonesome.
Dark Japheth: Bustling with activity, the city has not changed too terribly.
Sarcazmo47: He's dressed....
Sarcazmo47: In his ankh outfit.
Sarcazmo47: With the less-obvious but more-prevalent religious symbolism.
Dark Japheth: A temple to Chaosyn stands lone and powerful. Commissioned work on what looks to be a fortress around the capital city is going up.
Dark Japheth: Ah. Nice.
Sarcazmo47: Huh.
Dark Japheth: From your contacts, you are able to discern that in his age, the Marquis Ghigliot is turning his estate into a castle. For estates are not easily defended.
Sarcazmo47: Are there paladins roaming the streets, like there were last time?
Dark Japheth: No. That actually seems to have died down a little.
Dark Japheth: Or perhaps a lot? If there are paladins, they are covert. Sneeeeky.
Sarcazmo47: Not like paladins at all, really.
Dark Japheth: *stereotypical
Sarcazmo47: Indeed.
Sarcazmo47: Anyway. He invites himself to the...estate.
Sarcazmo47: Fortress.
Sarcazmo47: Place.
Sarcazmo47: Given that he technically outranks the man, he shouldn't have much trouble getting in.
Dark Japheth: True.
Dark Japheth: He still owns the place. But he trusts you.
Chromeus18: (i just tested Krist's fighting in a chat)
Dark Japheth: As he made a bundle on the psionic skin trade.
Chromeus18: (rolled 20, then 19 -_-)
Dark Japheth: And made more by selling the information about Shale to the paladins.
Sarcazmo47: Good for him.
Sarcazmo47: Gooooood for him.
Sarcazmo47: Skocion comes in to see the daughter.
Sarcazmo47: Eniac.
Dark Japheth: The seneschal looks at you oddly. And he points behind him, to what looks like a dining room.
Dark Japheth: A different one than you met Ilphukiir in.
Sarcazmo47: And?
Dark Japheth: In this room, she is gently seated. No food is out for her- yet. But she is calmly reading a book.
Sarcazmo47: Skocion enters and seats himself quietly beside her, trying to be sneaky and such.
Dark Japheth: She turns and looks to you. Her face lights up like a redneck who has shot a bird. "Duke Skocion! Hey! What are you doing here?"
Sarcazmo47: "Just coming to say hello to a friend."
Sarcazmo47: He smiles.
Dark Japheth: Infested Eniac casts PSISTORM
Dark Japheth: "...My father isn't around now..." she looks around
Sarcazmo47: ZERG'D
Sarcazmo47: He laughs. "I meant you."
Dark Japheth: She blushes, and closes the book. "...really?'
Chromeus18: (weapon specialization is FEAT'D)
Sarcazmo47: He nods.
Sarcazmo47: "What were you reading?"
Dark Japheth: "Just these poems." Poetry of the Unknown- Poems By Anonymous Authors is the heading.
Sarcazmo47: ...
Sarcazmo47: He can't tell if she waves it at him.
Dark Japheth: I know. :P
Sarcazmo47: "Any good ones?"
Dark Japheth: She doesn't. Lots of people forget.
Dark Japheth: "Oh! Yeah. This one."
Sarcazmo47: An Ode To Kirk - "Fuck You." By Gorth.
AndrewRogue: (XD)
Chromeus18: hahahahahahaha
Dark Japheth: Tonight I challenge the lightning, the mocking assault from the sky//The storm has long been in waiting, the doom of the star-land is nigh
Dark Japheth: The clouds are coming, the eagles, and the West all ill does bode//But I now I fear them no longer - tonight all would call me a god
Dark Japheth: The days of bliss have ended, gone are the times of rest//Driven by lies and defiance the ships have long left for the West
Dark Japheth: And I am left here laughing and knowing that once again//Fate I have mocked and godly love and darkened the Gift of Man
tortgurt: (lol)
Dark Japheth: Say it is evil I wakened, or say it is freedom of heart//Both I will take, and proudly - both I have loved from the start
Dark Japheth: For both I long have labored and tonight my work is done//And my laughter would challenge the storm and ring on ere the wave is gone
Dark Japheth: Thus laughing I stand in the star-land and wait for doom to fall//And the wave is rising higher and yet more to devour all
Dark Japheth: And I care not if I die tonight, with the proud, desperate Men, every one//For tonight I have challenged the lightning, and the world will remember I've won
Dark Japheth: After reading it to you, she sort of sighs. "I wish I could write like that."
Sarcazmo47: "You could, if you tried."
Sarcazmo47: He grins. "How have things been?"
Sarcazmo47: "Your father seems worried about safety these days."
Dark Japheth: "Yeah. Leba is getting married. To... Sir Maekoba? of Asgard? So he's building the place into a fortress. As a wedding gift." She sighs.
Sarcazmo47: Eniac is the younger, right?
Dark Japheth: Eniac is older.
Sarcazmo47: Ah.
Sarcazmo47: Right.
Dark Japheth: Hence the sigh.
Dark Japheth: Leba/Abel Eniac/Caine
Sarcazmo47: Ahh.
Dark Japheth: Anyway.
Sarcazmo47: Which puts her in line to inherit? Or not so in Tamerand?
Dark Japheth: Technically, she's in line to inherit. But as the entire nation is just property owned by the marquis, it can go to whomever he wills it to.
Sarcazmo47: Right.
Dark Japheth: There once was talk that he would leave it to the people who leave there, but its mostly been dismissed now. Since Leba's engagement.
Sarcazmo47: "A wedding gift? When did this happen?"
Dark Japheth: "Last month." She sighs. "They announced their engagement. And they're getting married in two weeks."
Dark Japheth: "You should hear the rumors the servants are spreading." SHe smiles a bit.
Sarcazmo47: He watches her. "You sound sad. Come on, walk with me."
Sarcazmo47: He pulls her out into the bazaar.
Dark Japheth: She stands up, and puts her arm through yours. And walks with you.
Sarcazmo47: He buys her a bouquet of red roses and some other little trinkets.
Dark Japheth: She blushes FURIOUSLY
Sarcazmo47: "They're getting married awfully fast, aren't they?"
Dark Japheth: "Yeah. They are. Its almost unheard of."
Dark Japheth: "Improper, I think." She looks down at her shoes.
Dark Japheth: Which really are very sensible shoes. Mocassins, even. Imported from Freydin.
Sarcazmo47: "Improper? Or just in love?"
Dark Japheth: She doesn't say anything. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have spoken in haste."
Sarcazmo47: He laughs softly.
Sarcazmo47: "You don't have to apologize to me, Eniac."
Sarcazmo47: "Do you think they're in love?"
Dark Japheth: She sighs. "That girl is 16 years old. She doesn't know love. She can't. She's not mature enough!"
Sarcazmo47: He nods.
Sarcazmo47: "Then why are they getting married?"
Dark Japheth: "Politics. I don't know. Father keeps wanting to forge an alliance with Asgard. He's practically bending over backwards since Tiyrael appeared."
Dark Japheth: She shakes her head. "Its just... not fair."
Sarcazmo47: "Not fair to who?"
Dark Japheth: "It...it doesn't matter. I shouldn't be saying this. I'm sorry."
Sarcazmo47: "No, please. It's not often enough you get to speak your mind."
Dark Japheth: She blushes. "I.. I really shouldn't. Its not proper. I'm in line for a noble title. I'm thinking Countess. I don't know."
Sarcazmo47: "I think Duchess would suit you better."
Sarcazmo47: "Please, go on."
Dark Japheth: She smiles. "I just..."
Dark Japheth: "Leba gets everything. She's engaged. She wanted to go to Nagukor for her sweet sixteen. So father bought a boat for her. And she went."
Dark Japheth: "With some commoner!"
Sarcazmo47: He gives her a hug.
Sarcazmo47: "You're very brave, you know that?"
Dark Japheth: She accepts. "Thank you, Skocion."
Sarcazmo47: "You carry the responsabilities of your family unflinchingly while your sister reaps the rewards."
Dark Japheth: "....yes." She smiles, a genuine smile- not that fake smile most nobles get. "Thats exactly right."
Dark Japheth: "Am I wrong for feeling this way?"
Sarcazmo47: "No, I don't think so."
Sarcazmo47: Aaaaaaaand....Kirk stops for now.
Sarcazmo47: For bed beckons.
Sarcazmo47: Night, kids.
Dark Japheth: Nighty.
Sarcazmo47 has left the room.
Dark Japheth: So. Tort. That RP bit wasn't worth a level, but 1/4 of one.
Dark Japheth: If both of you are still awake, you can try and go for that FULL LEVEL
Chromeus18: i am, somewhat
tortgurt: i am awake
Dark Japheth: Awexome.
tortgurt: i am very awake, as i have been for the past 2 hours, heh
Chromeus18: (when you wake up at 2 am, yeah :P)
tortgurt: hey now that is alll my fault, went to bed at 10
Chromeus18: well, let's bring it :P
tortgurt: where do you want to bring it at?
tortgurt: from the hallway or from somewhere else?
Chromeus18: we be raiding caravans, killing paladins, or whatever gorth brings :P
tortgurt: sounds good
Chromeus18: i'll find the stats on Malleus
tortgurt: and just for my apeasement, what is the exact plan, conpleate isoloation?
Chromeus18: I suppose, Skocion never specified.
Chromeus18: there are only two roads into Tamerand though, we can hold em.
tortgurt: one would hope
Chromeus18: gorth, any idea how recent the session was?
Dark Japheth: No damn clue.
Dark Japheth: Immediately after or during the "Krist gets his revenge"
Dark Japheth: actually, if I think about it
Dark Japheth: which is a damn clue
Chromeus18: the session after revenge is building the ship.
AndrewRogue: It was before as I recall.
AndrewRogue: It was REALLY close to that session though.
tortgurt: so what kind of fun stuff does kirst's wepon do now, he
tortgurt: h
Chromeus18: less fun stuff now
Chromeus18: no more keen, but it's +4 and adamantite.
tortgurt: that isnt bad at all
Dark Japheth: If the warshaper wants something.
Dark Japheth: He needs to speak with the smith.
tortgurt: hmmmmm.....
Chromeus18: and with the new level + feat, total attack is +20, min damage is 18
tortgurt: nice
Chromeus18: Andy, why does your website try to install a chinese language pack every time i click a link?
Dark Japheth: geocities!
AndrewRogue: That would be the answer/
tortgurt: I found that odd... but that explanes it all
AndrewRogue: Its... never tried to do that to me though.
Chromeus18: do you have chinese text on your website? if not, that's just... weird..
AndrewRogue: I... sure don't think I have chinese.
AndrewRogue: If I do... well... I kick more ass than I thought.
tortgurt: heh
Chromeus18: with a text search per web page, only the ship building session includes the word Malleus.
Dark Japheth: ...You know
Dark Japheth: Its very possible
Dark Japheth: that it was in IM
Dark Japheth: And Kirk is misremembering.
Chromeus18: i believe it is
Chromeus18: Malleus only comes up once in that page
Chromeus18: the four pages before it don't have it.
Chromeus18: honestly, i have no clue what it is at all
Dark Japheth: This saddens me greatly.
Chromeus18: so what do we do?
Dark Japheth: I think the only option
Dark Japheth: Is to let your DM sleep. Will both of you be online tomorrow?
Chromeus18: i will
AndrewRogue: It wasn't IM Gorth.
tortgurt: i will
tortgurt: wait
Dark Japheth: We can do it then. It will give me time to stat these fuckers and figure something out
tortgurt: hmmm
AndrewRogue: I was there when you did it.
tortgurt: ill be on late
Dark Japheth: ....You were in the IM? woah
tortgurt: like 1 am-ish
AndrewRogue: Unless... do you mean you gave him actual stats?
Chromeus18: it's not on the site.
AndrewRogue: In which case, nevermind. I never saw any actual stats.
Dark Japheth: Malleus as in the guy who headed the Malleus, or..?
Chromeus18: unless it wasn't referred to by name
Dark Japheth: Malleus was both the name of the cleric in charge, and the Malleus was Skocion's elite warhammer unit.
Dark Japheth: 200 pt army
Dark Japheth: gooooooo Orks!
AndrewRogue: :p
Dark Japheth: Anyway I's gunna go sleepy bye now good night
AndrewRogue: Night.
Dark Japheth has left the room.
tortgurt: night
Chromeus18: later
Chromeus18: bah
AndrewRogue: Hmmm... *tries to finish his essay*
AndrewRogue: I should have done this several hours ago.
Chromeus18: sorry tort :/
tortgurt: no problem
tortgurt: dosnt matter that much, i shoulda tried to pull the rp out a bit more, heh
tortgurt: but levels arent all that is inportant
Chromeus18: well, you didn't get much attention, although i tried :P
Chromeus18: of course, Andy doesn't have his Entreth logs up
AndrewRogue: This weekend <.<
Chromeus18: Kirk mentioned in one log that the Malleus was spoken of in a log which devolved into chat about Entreth.
Chromeus18: let me check my logs, to see if you sent it to me.
AndrewRogue: Oh. Lemme check my Entreth logs.
AndrewRogue: I'll just look tomorrow.
Chromeus18 has left the room.
tortgurt: night andrew
tortgurt has left the room.
