Session Ident: #terranotos
* Now talking in #terranotos
* Topic is 'The official chatroom for the Terranotos Campaign | http://www.geocities.com/elemental_knight1/terranotos/ | Current Status: Fscking Tourists... | Session 3 = Extra awesome with a side of Gale actually showing up. Since it worked so well last time, let's try it again. Fri., Aug. 6th, 11 PM EST.'
* Set by ElementalKnight on Sat Jul 31 20:58:04
* ChanServ sets mode: +o ElementalKnight
Hey.
Howdy.
* ElementalKnight sees that, if Gale were once again OMG EARLY! they could start... Almsot nowish.
*Almost, tpyo.
Meh. I think Seph is idling
Ah. Still, though.
Oh, and random comic.
http://www.reallifecomics.com/daily.php?strip_id=912
Hi!
Howdy!
Hey, Moryssa.
Dude, I'd love to see politics converted into an FF form.
That, or the UN forming a giant fighting robot.
* Kofi Anan hits Overdrive! - Omega Sanction!
hehe
* Saddam is hit for 1 HP (R: Sanction)
Power Break + Armor Break + Magic Break + Agility Break + Mental Break + HP-to-1 + Condemned?
Essientially.
Or just replace Armor and Mental Break with Meltdown...
But the Breaks look niftier
Hehe.
* ElementalKnight wonders why there isn't an OmniBreak status or something.
hehe
Or at least, a Meltdown for the other Break-able things.
You missed it EK. My monsters were the queens of multi-statuses :P
I wish the Knight could learn Agility Break somehow.
"Reduces SPD, DEF, MDEF to 1."
Is that the only one the Knight's missing?
I mean -4 SPD, halving DEF and Attack%? DAMN.
Yeah. That's the one they're missing
Hey, Moryssa.
Ouch.
...Actually, I can't think of any class that *does* have that.
Speaking of your session, do Teuc and I earn anything?
Outside the TM with Agility Break.
*Down
my bad.
The Dancer gets it
Oh boy!
* ElementalKnight isn't a big fan of the Dancer.
Personally, I hate it.
It's cool, but I couldn't pull it off in combat.
It's like a mediocre Geomancer
Though that "Be in the same space as someone else" thing is nice.
Huh. Dancer doesn't get it either?
I was pretty sure they did
So who *does*?
Bard, maybe?
* ElementalKnight isn't in the rules a tthe moment.
Bard is positive statii
* ElementalKnight shrugs. "'twas a thought."
Not on the Gambler...
And you'll have to talk to Fax, Seph. It's up to him
:-?
-? +/
That sucks, considering he just went away.
Cuz you missed out on 2360 XP and 1052 Gil
Blarg.
and a chance at an Archer's Ring
Just so long as you wait for me to be there next time.
* ElementalKnight was wondering what he missed in those final moment- Ah, fudgemonkies!
Considering the events we're doing. :P
:P
and Carson had a chance at the ring, but he didn't get it. Mayard did, and then he gave it to Yval
Carson also gave the final blow to the 4th form of Latrine
...Latrine.
Yeah.
You fought an enemy named Latrine.
Southern Bell meets Hobag.
WHAT THE HELL?
Dude, I dunno.
lol, she was the angry ghost of a bride who was stood up at the altar
No surprise, seeing as how her name is that of a primitive type of toilet
Her first two forms (Vixen and Banshee) were easy
It wasn't until she became a Succubus and finally La Diables that she got nasty
and she also summoned her "bridesmaids"
* ElementalKnight is sad he had to miss that.
* Raza is sad too
:(
Kinda wish you waited for everyone to be there.
I'd have loved to see that.
Mayard updated his journal to include it
Mayard;s journal s updated?
*is
'bout time. Huzzah!
Yeah, he updated a while ago.
yeah, he tacked the latest part onto the end of his latest update
Can you toss me a link?
I don't wanna go searching for his sig.
sure
Let me see.
yeah, Speh should do it cuz my links aren't working
http://www.livejournal.com/users/professorwinter/1696.html#cutid1
yay, thanks.
EK, where you there when Nachtierre got Molested
?
Molested...
I had to cut out about when the Bridemaids got summoned.
lol, the name of a Succubus attack.
nah, that was on the final battle
Okay, then i Missed it.
Which sucks, again, because that battle was looking to be a VERY nice change of pace from OMG ZOMBIES!
lol
I was getting scared because ya'll wiped the floor with Latrine's first 2 forms
* ElementalKnight notes that Carson is nothing but a big, hulking mass of STR, VIT and Animal Companion. So yeah, that happens. ^_^
You're gonna hate to see me later. ;)
Oh will I?
lol, well Ceol died on the third (Succubus) form. Her bridesmaid was a Banshee and she managed to get off Demon's Requiem
Sounds badass. Was it?
EK: Yeah. I'm boosting AGI like a mofo, and I'm going to see if I can aquire Signature Weapon via scenario points. :P
* ElementalKnight notes that he's gonna do that, too.
OMG YAY I ACTUALLY KNOW WHAT'S HAPPENING IN ARIA NOW
Heh.
Critical Conjunction + Sig Wep = Roxxor5.
Well, I gotta talk to Fax before Session 2 gets underway.
Since I have an RP opportunity to swap some ads/disads around.
Oooh.
and yeah, Demon's Requiem managed to weaken everyone and Curse Koreyan, who was later taken out by the Banshee's 96 damage Final Attack: Revenge :D
I wonder.
Fsck.
And I missed that!
Heh heh.
I have plans in Episode 2 to fuck with Carson's mind a little. :D
If you had a Tonberry, gave it a version of Everyone's Grudge (1 damage per kill) and had the PCs fight it end-game, how many characters would it OKHO?
Beyond biting my neck again?
bad Seph :P
Dude, that'd make Carson's body explode int oa red mist.
Because by level 40 or so, you've probably killed a lot of enemies
Bad Seph?
Why bad Seph?
traumatizing Carson
and it wouldn't deal much damage to Yvalphone. she actually hasn't made many kills
Carson's been Traumatized before,. It's just that it's at a low value and he has Devil's Luck.
* moonbeam has joined #terranotos
Howdy.
...moonbeam?
yay
how exciting
She's a friend of mine, wanted to see an RP game in action.
Ah.
I've been trying to get her IRC working for the past... what, twenty minutes?
hi
more like half an hour
or so
Hello.
hi :)
* ElementalKnight does introductions. "Typhoon over there's a nice guy, he's in both of my campaigns that I run and one I play in... Raza, aka Moryssa, is in this campaign and another I play in... Sephorus is kinda in this one... Highwind' the robot who does the dice."
I'm not gonna be here tonight.
I have work in an hour.
Hi there
* ElementalKnight notes that getting someone's IRC to work over AIM is a lot harder than one would think.
Couldn't you have just pointed her to the page over at the FFRPG page?
No, getting her to IRC was easy enough.
It was getting her to EsperNet that was the tough part.
I had the same problem w/ Gale
* ElementalKnight nods.
Bah. Back in mah day, we newbehs knew enuf to get aour arses over to this newfangled esparnet!
It was the commands that were a problem. >.>
* ElementalKnight hands Ty the Old Man cane.
Yeah, well, messing around with /this and /that is something for another day.
* Typhoon starts smacking people around the shins.
*smack* Ow! Hey, you sunuva- *smack* Ack!
RESPECT YER ELDERS!
...Wait...
* ElementalKnight is KO'ed.
BRB, h2o.
hi typhoon
and..
raza
* Typhoon then procedes to smack Highwind. "Let's try this, Highwind. Okay, say it with me. "Ones are not good. Not good. You do not give your players ones on rolls. You don
Moryssa, but Raza is registered so I had to lay claim to it early :P
lol yeah.
"You don't give them 95-100s either." Got it?
Ahem.
!roll 1d100
Typhoon - 1d100: 69 ( Total: 69 )
Maybe I should code a new Highwind... one that I can program to roll weighted die for certain people. :P
Meh. I think we just need a new Highwind. He's possessed.
By evil spirits.
Of doom. And destruction. And general unhappiness.
* ElementalKnight returns, snatches the 69, and notes that A. It's half-hour till game time and B. He's got ice cream now.
* Sephorus has quit IRC (Quit: )
Also, ice cream seems to be fatal to Seph.
!roll 1d10
ElementalKnight - 1d10: 6 ( Total: 6 )
Highwind seems to have a 'six' thing going.
* ElementalKnight finally finishes reading Mayar'd journal entry. Yay!
* Typhoon finishes reading every single entry. And blinks. "Gah. Overload."
yeah.
'Kay, time to flush my brain and try to get in-character.
* ElementalKnight hopes Gale shows. He's a very good DK, if he may say so.
He's a good balance.
* ElementalKnight nods.
Oh! And I finally have stat sheets for Mitzu and Cross, too.
So if things get too hectic, you can always yell for help like a sissy.
Bah. They're NPCs. Fire Emblem has generally dropped my opinion of NPCs. :P
Well, these NPCs are made wit hthe same system the PCs were made from, complete with random HP rolls.
"No, you idiots, RUN AWAY! NO, don't attack the Sage, RUN AWAY!"
Heh.
Well, in Jack's case at least, Raza can probably control 'im.
>.>
I hope that's good
Well, to be honest, you were doing a good job of controlling his little farm-boy sensibilities last week.
well, Raza *is* a Notos girl :D
* ElementalKnight 's noticed that.
I hope it's okay how I'm playing the city thing. not too modern I hope
I think it works well.
Terranotos is a lot more civilized than most fantasy worlds... Sure, monsters roam the overworld some, but they're all fairly weak and almost never actually cross the beaten path. Except to smack Desil around.
Which is why the Depths are around... You want to say hello to Behemoth? GO underground.
Geez, EK. I'm so glad your monsters are conviently posed to smack my PC around...
What else would a monster do?
I mean, really. To think they have a life outside of random encounters wit hthe protagonist isn't just uncanonical, but downright odd.
Can't they, you know, stick to small peasant villages?
Heh.
Rule one of RPG housing. Don't live in a small peasant village. Rule two. Don't live in the major city.
True.
Unless your major city is a small peasant village. Than you have nothing to worry about. >.>
Heh.
* ElementalKnight notes that both Small Peasant Villages and Major Cities tend to burn to the ground.
Yes, but in the event of major city = small peasant village, the two probabilities would cancel out
True.
* ElementalKnight uses that logic to make Underhole indestructable, even if it's so close to the Hole that any big nasties coming out of it would head straight for Underhole. ^_^
* ElementalKnight notes that it's 11 PM. Should we continue to wiat for Gale, or continue on without him?
* ElementalKnight is now known as EK|GM
Hmm. Any word from Gale?
none
he nornmally calls by now. I dunno what the issue is
Odd.
Maybe he's getting held late at work again?
Like when he was at the ticket booth until 12:45 AM or so?
oi
the longer we wait, the less time we get to RP
Aye, true.
but on the other hand, the RP may be better because we have the full spectrum of personalities going on
Also true.
dilemmas
* EK|GM much prefers to have everyone in the same room at the same time. Makes the fun more... fun.
wanna give him 15 minutes?
I'm willing to wait.
Can you tell us if you get any word?
Sounds good. Have you tried contacting him yet, or is that out of the question?
Of course
it'll take a few cuz I've gotta call my brother and tell him to call Gale
*blink* Okay.
wow, that took less time then I thought :P now to talk to Gale
*also blink*
no answer
* EK|GM guesses that work has sucked him in.
might be
* EK|GM pokes the clock. Adjusted, T - 10.
* Raza files her nails.
* Typhoon is now known as Estrain
Might as well to save time
* EK|GM nods.
btw, next week I'll be outta town. I'm moving off to college so you know how that goes
Oooh, fun.
On that note I should say that that last week of August, I'll be busy as hell too.
okay
...And it's been fifteen.
Shall we begin and/or Are y'all ready?
I'm ready
And... Ty/Desil..?
Oh, sorry.
I'm here
* EK|GM laughs. "Cool, then."
* EK|GM hopes his less-than-usual rampant preperation will hold up. But meh. Let's find out!
* Mailmoogle walks ont the blank screen, shoves the memory card into the slot on the save point, and fires it up. "Lv. 2, 7 Hours... Yep." *click*
When we last left our heroes, they were just about to charge off the beaten path, to 'rescue' - whether they needed it or not - some tourists who'd been scared off by some young Dwarves.
* Estrain blinks and stretches. "Whoa. The last five minutes felt like a week. Weird."
"You noticed that too?"
(Dodododododo...)
Aye, 't did. Tha' was odd, wa'nt it?
Aye! Aye! Aye! *drink*
"Then let's go."
Aye!
* The dwarves follow, various hefty weaponry at the ready.
* Raza leans closer to Jack. "You heard him, Handsome."
* Off the beaten path, the forsts - having thinned out as the group headed northward from Crossroads - barely hang on, a few scattered trees and plenty of untrimmed brush.
"Has anyone told the tourists about how we're going to guide them yet, or are we just hoping they tag along behind us?"
Yeah, Ah did... I think they'll be fine, m'self, but it couldn't hurt to check on them."
Them and their wallets, yes. But if they don't follow us to, ahem, safety, there's always the threat of what might be in the next bush or tree.
* Raza looks at Estrain. "And let's not forget to shamelessly promote our product."
* Estrain gives a small grin. "Of course."
* The underbrush leaves a trail that's easy enough to follow, and the party - now several drawves larger in size - heads west, following the beaten brush. After a few minutes, though, the brush-paths split off in different directions... Several of them, in fact.
(Alright, who has navigation?)
* Raza frowns. "I should've known it would be way too easy."
* Essientially, one path for each compass direction - north, northwest, west, southwest, south. It's not that simple, but from atop the Chocobos it seems to average out that way.
(Any appropriate rolls can and should be made here, unless y'all wanna just guess at a path and go with it.)
(I have Lore: Maps... Do we have a map?)
(...And this is when I remember I didn't distribute Lore points in the past couple of levels. -.-)
(well, Raza's somewhat psychic..so I guess Awareness would work)
(Or last level.)
(OF Terranotos in general? Yeah. But of the specific little area you're in? Not that I know of.)
(Awareness, Perception, if you can make it apply then roll it and hope.)
(Heck, I once let a man talk his way out of a boss fight with Ettiquette. It worked, too.)
((Awareness of the incredibly horrid tourists))
!roll d100
Raza - d100: 67 ( Total: 67 )
((Raza's powers suck :P))
There're certainly a lot of not-nice things about... But whether it's uncouth tourists, insects or monsters, it's impossible to tell. That, and it's in just about every direction but back.
(I type that, and then remember that Raza's got Phobia: INsects. Yay!)
(...Wait. Weren't we just basically going where Mitzu and crew told us to?)
(In general, yeah. Their roadmap is your roadmap.)
(But that's like using a road of the highways in the US to find your way around a residential area.)
* Raza 's lip trembles a bit. "Ummm, I changed my mind. Let's just go back to the original path. We can deal with tourists later."
* Jack looks at Raza. "Well, they might not be 'round here by then. They could get lost, or eaten, or lost and *Then* eaten, or who knows what else."
* Estrain gets the map, hoping against hope that his past experience with maps might come in handy here. "Let's see..."
(Lore: Maps. Let's just try.)
!roll 1d100
Estrain - 1d100: 4 ( Total: 4 )
(What the hey, eh?)
(...Wow.)
(...BOO-YA.)
((Good job))
(Highwind, I love you.)
(Even if you are a sadistic bastard.)
"Tourists always survive they're like...cockroaches."
"Even cockroaches die if you crush them," Desil notes distractedly, as he checks the map.
* Raza shudders at the thought.
* The Map apparently has lots of information hidden in it that Mitzu couldn't make out. It shows several smaller paths that branch out from the mainways. They're marked as common roads for both people and beasts, and as such should be treaded with only the utmost caution.
* Jack blinks at Raza, and scootches a little closer to her. "You okay?"
(So which way are we going?)
(Which way will get us there best?)
* Mitzu just calmly takes in the scene - it's like he's trying to zen the answer from the air.
* Raza nods. "I just don't like Insects," she whispers.
"I have the feeling there are a lot of them around here."
* The Map seems to show one road more heavily treaded than the others, heading northwest and eventually hitting a road heading dead west fro mthe Hole.
Well, the little ones you can squash... And they ain't all bad. Ladybugs, fer instance. They're good bugs!"
(*-")
* Estrain looks over the map one last time, memorizing the immediate path, before closing it and looking up. "We go northwest."
!roll 1d100
EK|GM - 1d100: 91 ( Total: 91 )
(...That's not good...)
"There's no such thing as a good bug."
* Mitzu blinks at Estrain, shrugs, and syas, "Well, if you have an idea then it's better than what I have - which is nothing."
(*says. Don't mind my typing, folks, it's just haphazard and dangerous.)
"I've tried my hand at mapping before. I'm pretty sure that's the best way. Let's go."
Well, th' ladybug eats bad bugs. If there's no such thing as a good bug, then iat least it's not *all* bad, right?
* Mitzu nods, and drags Alan's chocobo, complete with Kul'Vier and four dwarves, along for the ride.
* Raza blinks. o 0 (He can't be serious! Lucky for him he's so cute.)
* Jack just kicks the chocobo into gear and completely ignore's Raza's befuddlement/complimentary blink.
* The path is, in fact, a little more trodden than the others appear to be, riding on a gently sloping hill that seems to be the last bit of the Sephyr before it gives out to the plains in the east.
(*Zephyr. I hates teh tpyos.)
(And they hate you)
* Also, for being a road shared by both beasts and people, it's suprisingly clear of either sort of blood. It's really kinda nice.
(Hm... Awareness rolls, please?)
!roll 1d100
Estrain - 1d100: 36 ( Total: 36 )
(That would be good, if I had Awareness...)
(Indeed.)
(Or a MAG of 18.)
!roll d100
Raza - d100: 91 ( Total: 91 )
(Can we swap rolls? >.>)
(and just for fun...)
!roll 2d100
((Guess it's my turn to be screwed by Highwind))
EK|GM - 2d100: 1, 87 ( Total: 88 )
(...Wow.)
(*blink*)
((geesh))
(Highwind's as mercurial as ever)
* Jack notices an amazing amount of litter on the side of the road that everyone else really, *really* doesn't.
* Jack hops off his 'bo, handing the reins to Raza as he does so, and picks up one piece of litter - a little dagger, chipped and unusable.
Well, heck. This ain't a good sign. Hey, anyone know what the heck this knife is? *holds blade up*
* Raza takes the reins and doewsn't know what to do with 'em. "Jack, I think they have people to pick that stuff up."
-w
"I don't know much about daggers, but that looks like a boot knife..."
"Not much of a weapon, but it's there for an emergency."
"Used to carry one."
* Raza takes a closer look at it. "Are you sure?"
"The fact that one of those is littering the side of the road isn't a good sign. Be on your guard."
Yeah. Little knives like these ain't so good when they're not in your, uh, boot? *blink* Hunh.
"The only use those have is stabbing someone that doesn't know you have it. Not much good otherwise."
Gee, thanks. That's a happy thought.
The thought of a particularly large ladybug/caterpillar/locust combo is more than enough to tighten Raza's grip on the chocobo's reins.
"I'm here to serve," he says, with a stretched smile that looks a bit too tense to be genuine.
* Jack hands the blade off to Mitzu, who looks at it before tossing it on the cargo-'bo of Alan, Kul'vierr, four dwarves and now a knife. Jack then hops back on the saddle, aking the reins before Raza sends the 'bo careening through the grass.
* Raza slaps EK|GM around a bit with a large trout
(...)
(ow)
((...))
(That was accidential, I wager.)
(Well... If I'm doing something wrong, that's certainly one way to tell me.)
* EK|GM slaps Highwind around a bit with a large trout
(Ah. Right click + Slap = trout. Cool!)
((I didn't even type that, unless I've missed the last few seconds of my life))
(It's a built-in command.)
(You might've clicked it.)
((ah))
(If you accidentially sat on the mouse or something, that'd do it.)
((I apologize, then))
(S'okay, no worries. Suprised the heck outta me, though.)
(That was the highlight of the evening so far...)
(Indeed. Anyhow!)
((Me too. Raza's more of a salmon lover.))
(Aye!)
(That and roughie.)
((hehe))
* Raza takes this time to pull out her bow and knock an arrow. No hybridized bugs of doom are catching her offguard.
* The path, now becoming more obviously littered with innocent remains - an old campfire on the left, a rusty bit of metal on the left, some old cloth in the middle of the path - continues steadily winding northwest.
"Let's move. Whatever got them can't get us if they can't find us."
* Oddly enough, there aren't any normal "Pleasant open field" noises around. No bugs chirping, no birds chirping, no chirping of anything at all.
"It's a bit too quiet out here."
What makes you think something got them? All we found was some rotted food and a knife.
"Everyone, quiet. If something's coming up, we need to be able to hear it."
"Trust me here."
* Mitzu nods, hushes the cargo-'bo. Jack thinks it's odd, but does as is told.
(Having Kul'Vier here would be nice... He's the wilderness guy.)
(Aye.)
(Estrain will have to do.)
(At least you aren't underground in this situation without him.)
(*nod* At least it's not dark here.)
* The party moves slowly, the lack of sounds disturbing...
(If anyone wants to make any Awareness/Perception/OMG I FOUND A USE FOR LORE: PANTS! rolls, do so now!)
!roll d100
Raza - d100: 99 ( Total: 99 )
!roll 1d100
Estrain - 1d100: 75 ( Total: 75 )
((...))
(Botch, fail.)
(Wow.)
((Jack is super sexxy!!))
* From the tall grass - tickling the knees of the choco-riders - a form springs up, tackling Desil off of his chocobo and putting a hand to his mouth.
* MItzu falls off, and takes a moment to dust himself off. I'll be using this moment, thank you!
* The form that has tackled Desil off of the 'bo shows himself to be an older man, with a gray ponytail, camera, binoculars, bifocals and a suprisingly bright camo-green shirt.
"TOURIST!"
*whispering* You have any idea how loud you are, man? You'll scare th' Goblins away!
* With the sound of Raza's yell, ten or so heads pop from the tall grass looking around like gophers. They're all in a similar state of hippy-ism.
...The hell?
"..."
* moonbeam has quit IRC (discworld.esper.net dream.esper.net)
* Estrain has quit IRC (discworld.esper.net dream.esper.net)
(Netsplit!)
((It's just me and you))
(...)
(I get the feeling Raza doesn't mind that situation too much.)
((nope, not at all))
((at least I stayed where I'm supposed to be this time))
(Indeed.)
(Heh. This'll be odd to explain to moonbeam.)
((lol, that it will be))
* Estrain has joined #terranotos
(Yo.)
(Argh.)
(We seem to lack a dicebot.)
(Okay, I have a feeling I missed stuff.)
((it's right here))
(And a fan. But beyond that, no you didn't.
(After the botch and fail, did anything happen?)
(I stopped typing the instant the 'split hit.)
(Beyond the hippies popping up?)
(I saw the botch and fail, Raza said something. Saw nothing else)
(Since peer got me, I'm guessing that I got lag on some messages)
((we're surrounded by goblin hunting hippies it seems))
INCOMING COPY/PASTE
* From the tall grass - tickling the knees of the choco-riders - a form springs up, tackling Desil off of his chocobo and putting a hand to his mouth.
* MItzu falls off, and takes a moment to dust himself off. I'll be using this moment, thank you!
* The form that has tackled Desil off of the 'bo shows himself to be an older man, with a gray ponytail, camera, binoculars, bifocals and a suprisingly bright camo-green shirt.
"TOURIST!"
*whispering* You have any idea how loud you are, man? You'll scare th' Goblins away!
* With the sound of Raza's yell, ten or so heads pop from the tall grass looking around like gophers. They're all in a similar state of hippy-ism.
...The hell?
"..."
(then the 'split hit.)
(Ah. So I DID miss stuff. Stupid connection.)
(And I was walking, dangit. No chocobo to be tackled off of. :P)
(Weren't you on Mitzu's 'bo?)
(Yes, but Kul'Vier and I went on foot after leaving the inn)
(Ah.)
(Well, then the tackle hit both you and the 'bo becuase that hippy used to play rugby. So nyah.)
(Now, shall we continue?)
(Sure.)
((Yep))
* From the grass comes the sound of a mass rustling, with the occasional "gobgob!" for flavor. The rustling continues along the path somewhat at a suprising pace, away from the party.
* Waiting a few moments for the "gobgob!"ing to fade into the distance, the old man wit hthe ponytail stands up and starts yelling at Desil.
"You see, we WANT to miss the Goblins," Estrain says, patiently. "Because we don't want them to try to kill us."
"Dying is bad, you see."
The he' you doin', man! You scared the Goblins off!
* Raza nods. "Goblins are gross and we want them going in the opposite direction."
* Estrain calmly walks up to DOH and stares him in the eye. "You have no idea what in the hell you're talking about. Shut up. Now. Or I will force you to."
* This comment stirs up the entire congregation of old, gray-haired environmental activists. "Goblins? Gross?" "Goblins are man's link to his primal roots!" "Goblins are beautiful creates of the wild!"
* Estrain then looks to the rest of the tourists. "Yes, and you've obviously never seen them kill something. That's sure as hell not beautiful in any sense."
* Raza points to the ears. "Yeah, see I'm an Elf. YOU may be related to goblins, but I'm not. And, if Goblins are your ancestors, why are they still all Gobliney?"
* THe Dirty Old Hippy stares right back. "You might force us to shut up, man, but we came to watch these creatures and damned if we're gonna leave when we're so close!"
They fit a niche that man didn't! That's why they're so 'gobliny'!
* Raza sighs and shakes her head. "Well, did you at least get your gear from the Lial Company?"
* Outrage continues to filter through the group of wildlife observers. Jack just looks questioningly at Raza, and Mitzu shakes his had.
The Lial Company? THey'd be more than happy to raze this whole area down to the ground if it meant a bigger profit!
* Estrain gives Raza a look. ~Tread lightly. This guy's insane.~
* Raza sweatdrops. "Hehe, that's not necessarily true..."
* Several of the once-happy people are now attempting to quietly sneak off in search of their goblin prey.
"Look. All I'm concerned about is your safety. If you stay here - THAT MEANS YOU, you four - then we won't do a thing. Go after them and I will be forced to stop you."
"For your own good."
"Do we have to?"
*Three of the activists do, in fact, stop, apparently intimidated by this threat of force. One hearty soldier of nature's fortune trads on, stepping lightly on the grass.
Heaven have mercy on them...
Desil have mercy on 'em's more like it...
* Raza shakes her head and waits for Desil to act.
* Estrain strides forward, boomerangs snapping into his hands. "I'm quite well trained with these. In five seconds, I can disable - or kill - you in five different ways, at four different distances. Stop now."
"Of course, I don't want to. Let's be reasonable, shall we?"
* The intrepid adventurer does not stop, in fact, and attempts to redouble his efforts at moving stealthily. Some of his friends are even trying to get him to stop now, traitorous to the cause though it may be.
"Five. Four. Three."
* Raza raises an eyebrow. "I think that's a challenge Desil."
Oh, man... Don't do it, dude!
"Oh, I won't hurt him."
"He just won't be moving for a little bit."
"This is your last chance."
* Solid_Hippy is still moving, so low to the ground that you could step over him and not even notice.
* Estrain doubles his pace.
* Raza looks at the others. "You know, I think I heard the Lial Company's coming up with a more environmental friendly line."
* The ninja-hippy looks behind himself, sees one angry boomerang-wielding corporate sellout after him, and also moves faster. He crawls under a bush...
* The group of planeteers looks at Raza oddly.
* And a boomerang flies over his head, nearly skimming off a bit of his hair.
* And a loud *shwping!* can be heard as a scream echoes from underneath the bush.
* Raza puts on her charming smile.
* A goblin pops up, loudly yelling "GOBGOBGOBGOBGOBGOBGOBGOB!" as he draws his knife back out from behind the bush.
* Estrain swears under his breath. "Damn. It was just too simple...
* THe warriors of nature simultaneously grab their cameras and start taking pictures.
* Estrain moves forward cautiously, quietly, making sure not to startle the goblin.
"I don't want to hurt you," he says, quietly, slowly. "I just want to get the idiot in the bush."
* The Goblin continues yelling loudly, blinded by the intense flashing. A few other goblin heads pop up fro mthe grass, and promptly duck back down to avoid the lights.
"RAZA! GET THEM TO STOP!"
*The idiot in the bush is still alive and kicking, very much in pain from a goblin knife - similar to what was found earlier - having found its way into his shoulder.
* Raza points an arrow at the hippies. "Stop or I'll shoot."
* The cameras stop clicking. One demonstration was enough, apparently.
* Estrain mutters to the tourist. "THIS is why you stay away from goblins, you idiot."
"Good. Now, what were you saying about the Lial Company?"
* The congregates of Mother Nature's followers stare at each other quickly.
* Estrain continues forward, being careful not to startle the goblins. When he's able to, he slowly bends over, picking up the wounded tourist and slinging him over his shoulder, before slowly backing away.
* The lights having died down, and the goblin no longer (totally) blinded, the yelling slows down and the goblin heads pop up form the grass.
Gobgob... Gob...
* Raza shakes her head at the hippies. "You guys are incredibly stupid. That goblin didn't even hesitate to stab your friend. And don't even pretend it was our fault. They're vicious animals and you need new professions."
"I don't want to hurt you..." Desil continues muttering calmly nonsense, acting as unthreatening as possible.
* The goblin shakes his head and blinks his eyes, grabs his knife, and carefulyl watches Desil back away with the wounded planeteer.
* Estrain continues to slowly backpeddle as he checks on the wounded hippy, doing what little he can to staunch the wound.
* The goblin, too, slowly backs away... "Gob. Gobgobgobgob!" he says, with a little motion from his knife, slowly receeding into the grass.
* The wound isn't too bad... Goblins are viscious in numbers, but one stab from one knife isn't too bad at all. Kind alike cutting yourself in the kitchen. In the shoulder.
(*Kinda like)
* The other natural fellows back away from Desil, letting him carry their wounded comrade to wherever he dang wel pleases.
"See, I didn't want this to happen," Desil says calmly, as he lowers the wounded man and checks his wounds. "But he wouldn't listen. This could have been worse. He could have died."
"Hey, Mitzu. Do you have any bandages?"
* Mitzu nods, checks his saddlebad, and then checks the cargo-'bo.
!roll 2d100
EK|GM - 2d100: 8, 91 ( Total: 99 )
* Mitzu comes up with one unused wound-staunching kit and a whole ot of not-much-else.
* He also tosses the kit to Desil, just to round it off.
Geeze... It's always somethin', i'in it?
* Estrain mends to the man's wounds quickly. (This is basic enough to not need a check, right? You said he wasn't hurt that badly...)
(Yeah. Two band-aids and some cottn would do it.)
(*tends)
(though just for fun...)
!roll 1d100
EK|GM - 1d100: 89 ( Total: 89 )
(...)
(Yeah, Highwin'd still pissy.)
* One of the bandaids sticks to Desil's finger in that annoying way where if you untangle it, you can't really use it again. Oh well.
* Raza lowers her bow finally. "You've got a lot of energy guys. Why not apply it to something productive and non-life threatening?"
* Estrain picks up the man and carries him over to his companions. "Here. He should heal with time, though he'll have a pretty visible scar. Should be a reminder to let sleeping goblins lie."
* A few of the herb conissours try to get up the gumption to blame the not-not-life-threatingness on Raza, but are quieted down by their fellows.
* In the distance, the goblins are once again on their way though the wild hills. A few distant "gobgob"s float through the breeze.
"On the bright side, you got to see how goblins react to threats in their natural habitat."
"Shame he had to get stabbed for you to get the point, though."
"Okay, Desil I'm bored with the life lessons. Can we go now?"
(* EK|GM casts �Rimshot!)
(Now, this is the group we're guiding?)
(Yeah.)
(So you've got youselves, the Other Party of HJack, Mitzu and Alan, four dwarves, and about ten hippies.)
"Now, because the lot of you are clearly incompetent, we're going to do you a favor and lead you to whereever you're going. Understand?"
(*Jack, sans H. Grr tpyos.)
* THe hippies seem to understand Their leader - the tackler - nods and sighs. "Yeah, fine man. :ess just go home."
*less'
* Raza nods. "Where do you live?"
Well, b'fore we got sidetracked by those dwarves there, we were on our way to Underhole to set up a base camp for a study on lower forms of Depths anamalia...
* Jack is confused by the big words.
"Sounds great, although I suggest observering less violent animals. Let's go."
* The enviro-friends nod quietly, and follow the party without a single protest.
(Heh. I've frightened them into total compliance! Yay!)
(* Desil gains 5 Dark Side points!)
((Hehe, you'd do Kul proud))
(Indeed.)
(Too bad he wasn't around to really Intimidate them. Total compliance AND a few dirtied pants!)
(Hm... It's one AM for me, and this seems like a good stopping point. Shall we call it quits for the night?)
((Well, being on the receiving end...I didn't miss that one bit :P))
(If you want.)
((Ditto))
(Well, I've no real plans for right this game-moment...)
(I think, fro mthe silence, we'll call a stop here...)
((Hehe, okay))
(Alright.)
* Mailmoogle, who had hitherto been forgotten, steps off of the cargo-'bo and sets up a save point. He slips the memory card in, saves over the old file, and lets the "QUIT? Y/N" screen blink.
* Estrain throws a hippy at "Y"
(Oh! Before I forget, since you all successfully avoided killing an arseload of goblins, I'll be handing out the EXP/Agt fro mthe planned fight anyhow.)
((ooh!))
(Heheh.)
(Because nonviolence CAN be the answer sometimes.)
(I both did a good deed and acted incredibly evil. I like this.)
* Raza gets Jack to press "Y" for her.
* Jack dutifully presses "Y".
(So Hippies don't qualify as Throwing Weapons?)
184 x PC = the EXP, and 70 x PC = the Agt.
(Depends on the size of the hippy.)
(And... What the heck, I'll roll spoils too. I'm generous tonight.)
!roll 3d100
EK|GM - 3d100: 66, 79, 20 ( Total: 165 )
A tonic and 40 extra Agt. Oh boy!
woohoo
Roxors.
(NOW I get out of this nick and go to bed... Next week looks to be another town session, but I dunno. the Hole is an odd place like that... Town by day, dungeon by night.)
* EK|GM is now known as ElementalKnight
* Estrain is now known as Typhoon
* Raza is now known as Moryssa
whoo!
That went off pretty well.
Yep.
Yes it did and have fun in the town!
Heh.
I'll just take the Tonic and 40 Agt. Not like it matters
Yeah, pretty much.
Any complaints?
If you had really pushed it some Goblin Mages might've made it worth your time, but meh.
nope, you did all the work :P
Right.
Do you want us to send new sheets, or can you do the necessary changes yourself?
dag, I knew I should've let the tourists act a little longer :P
I'm just glad the Hippies didn't go into combat.
Otherwise I'd have to remake the Bandits to be not so Bandit-y.
hehe
Anyhow, night all. I'll post the log later today (byu which i mean after the sunrise and all that jazz)
