* ChanServ sets mode: +o ElementalKnight
 Hm...
 Hey
 Howdy.
 *thinks*
* ElementalKnight ponders having combat this session. He doesn't have anything in particular planned...
 Yeah, a fight would be nice... A trick fight would be better, though. As in, some special bit about the fight that's abnormal
* ElementalKnight nods. He's got that in spades for the I-DEMON dungeon thing.
 ...For the non-normal monsters, anyhow.
 >.>
 Lesse. I think I lost the updated Raza sheet, but I also don't hink I ever got one from you or Gale.
 Or it got lost too.
* ElementalKnight + bookeeping = boom.
 Hmm.
 I don't think we ever switched over to the "new" Armor/M.Armor rules...
 That, and everyone gained a level. I think the party standard is now 3.
 We remembered that half-way through the fight with the Water enemy, but then decided we'd use them after the fight
 *nod*
 Oh, nifty. I updated everything except my attributes.
 And my HP, I believe...
 Hey, EK. Check your latest Estrain sheet
 I'm not sure whether I increased my HP
 I have 59...
 It says 50.
 Alright, thanks
 I'll PM it to you
 Cool.
 *gets to monster-makin'. He's an idea; now, to put some kinda 'twist' onto it...
* Moryssa has joined #terranotos
 hey
 Hey
 Any word from Gale?
 *wave*
 he's gonna be about a half hour late
 he's on his way home as wwe speak
 That's cool by me!
* ElementalKnight continues furiously planning.
 hehe
* ElementalKnight prints out Monster #1... The problem with NW's generators is that they have a lot of black on 'em. But since he's not using his own ink today... what the heck, eh?
 lol
* ElementalKnight gets to work on #2, now that he knows *why* the monsters will be where they are. Kinda.
 That's two down.
 yay!
 ...and number three. I could make one more, but I think it'll actually work better as it is.
 is that good for us?
 ^_^
 Depends on how you handle it.
 Also, I have the Lv. 3 Desil sheet now.
 Uh, Mory, could you resend the Lv.3 Raza?
 I went and lost the dang file, so, uh, my bad.
 ok
 sent
 Got it, updated the site.
 ...I can fix the formatting later.
 kewl biscuits
* Kulvier has joined #terranotos
 (Hola ppl)
 (Sorry about lateness. Philly highways are always backed up after 6pm)
 Howdy, sorry, talkin' on the phone.
 It's cool. Sup EK
 Back.
 My aunt interviewing me and vice-versa for the family newletter.
 *newsletter.
 Lol
 Anyhow... Kul, do you have a Lv. 3 sheet on you?
 because this session, it might actually matter.
 I don't thi9nk so
 ...
 Lemme check thev sheet
 tpyos!
 How many times did I tell you to update your sheet and send it to EK?
* ElementalKnight has Raza Lv. 3 and Desil Lv. 3; just updated the 'site, too.
 I thought I did.
 Now. It's lvl 2.
 No*
 Everyone's at Lv. 3 because I was nice after the Hole incident.
 Righto.
 How many skill points do I get
 10 per level.

* Kulvier is now known as DarkKnightKul
 And... done. I'll worry about formatting later.
* DarkKnightKul is now known as StupidOkami
* EK|GM doesn't have a log of last session - his logger, it turns out, wasn't on at the time - so he tries to remember: Was the party leaving town at the end of last session, or doing something else?
 Hmm.
 We were just reaching the top of the shaft.
 We left it off with it going up. I think.
 We're PROBABLY going to get the coins appraised, so we can get cash for them
 :D Heh. Stop thinking like the Dark Knight.
 Meh. We have no money. :P Estrain can be greedy if he's poor.
 And Raza can be greedy since she's rich :D
 And who knows when our erstwhile companions will get sick of us and not pay our inn tabs!
* EK|GM doesn't know, really. YAY for roaming Deus ex Machinae!
 Hm.
 So appraisal it is!
 * Mailmoogle runs onscreen, plugs in the PS@ MEMORY CARD into the savepoint, and the world reloads.
 <- I'm just a lonely Okami Dark Knight. :D
 ...PS2. The ink on the 'card must've gotten scratched.
 * The party + party + one have just reached the top of the lift, the researches skulking home as fast as his little legs allow.
 *plays with the MMail Moogles bon-bon*
* Estrain winces, squinting in the sudden brighter light. "Geez. WAY too bright."
 * MailMoogle debates kicking Kul in the nose or not. He decides discresion is the better part of valour.
 *Glances at Estrain and grins* It's not that bright.
 "It's bright enough to make my eyes water. That's bright."
* Raza is too busy caressing Jack's chest to notice thebrightness.
* StupidOkami shrugged lightly and grinned.
 * Jack blinks at the sun - then at Raza, and then quickly seperates from her. "Uh... thanks, ma'am, for helpin' me down there."
 "Look. At least we learned something that no one else will." He smirked. "Hmmm...denied Raza." Chided Kul
  He forgot his teddy bear.
 Looks at Mitzu. "Well...he needs to lose it sooner or later."
  Haven't slept with Mr. Fuzzles since I was ten!
 * Mitzu stares blankly.
  ...ten an' a half.
* Raza pretends she didn't hear that.
 "Fascinating."
 "So. Professor. Know any good appraisers?"
 "Mr....Fuzz-les?" Even he needed to resist the urge to laugh.
* StupidOkami is now known as Kulvier
 * The Professor is almost out of sight when Kul asks about appraisal. "I'm getting my share appraised back at Palestra Magus<' he says meekly from the distance. "Around here, I havn't met too many good cheap appraisers."
 * Professor then madly dashes, trying to escape before more questions can be asked - or before he gives an answer that gets him into more trouble.
 Kul glanced at Raza and Estrain. "So...will you be requiring me to 'lower' the prices?"
 "Let's try to avoid that. We don't need to intimidate potential arguments. Do you agree, Raza?"
 (...Arguments? I meant customers. o.O)
 (Aren't they the same thing?)
 "I agree. I can get them to lower the prices without scaring them."
 (I'm so glad you're impressed with our sales tactics. :P)
 "Alright. Well...tell me when I should use it and I will." He said plainly with a light shrug. Fo a change there wasn't any arguement or gruff.
 (Of the few customers you've had so far that I can remember, one doesn't trust you and the other one peed his pants and ran away. And the hippes had it coming, either way.)
 (The professor peed his pants? Please tell me Estrain wasn't standing next to him on the lift...)
 "Yeah, right."
 "Thank you, Kul'Vier."
 (I think I was...I need to kill an academic...)
  Jack, we should go check up on the 'bos, make sure we're ready to go when the coins get appraised. We've got a schedule to keep.
  But they're just fine back at the Inn, right?
 "...Damn it. No one's watching the birds."
  Probably, but... Just come on. We'll meet up with the rest of you at the edge of town, and if you aren't on our schedule... then, well, tough luck.
 "And the same to you."
 "If anyone touched the birds, they'll have to deal with me."
 * Mitzu grabs Jack and gets him moving in the Inn's direction. "See you in a jiff, ma'am!"
 (that being Jack who said that, of course. _-_ )
 "See you Mitzu."
* Raza waves seductively at Jack, letting her hand fall across her bosom. "See you later. Jack."
 (Wave seductively? How does THAT work? o.O)
 ((The finger wave :P))
* Kulvier raised an eyebrow lightly. "Raza...give it up. He's a naize as a newborn."
 (It's one of those special abilities, that no mortal straight man could ever hope to master. I've seen such things destroy entire cities...)
 *naive
* Raza tosses her hair over her shoulder. "I know. But I'm going to open his eyes to the world and make him a man."
 (o_o; Really? I MUST LEARN THIS SKILL AND OBLITERATE CITIES!!!)
 "Really. I'll make sure to keep a closer eye on you, then. Can't have that on a business trip."
 (You ain't Helen of Troy. You'll just destroy yourself and all you love.)
 (@.@; Ok...I take that back. Would never want to hurt that and those I love.)
 (not that she didn't do *that* too. Anyhow!)
 So, the party's on it's own for the moment, in search of an appraiser for the coins, correct?
 ((See, she didn't understand that it should be used like a scalpel, not a machete))
 (Yeah)
 ((Yep))
 "Estrain, why is it that Raza worries me? How am I supposed to guard you Raza if you're shut in an Inn room?"
 ((I have both Trade and Inquiry if it's needed))
 (Inquiry, then. "Hey, where's the nearest Antiques Roadshow?")
 (I can intemidate. :D)
 ("Take me to PBS or ELSE!"?)
 (I have Streetwise...)
* Raza raises an eyebrow at Kul. "Who said anything about being in an inn room?"

 (Heheh.)
 (Close enough)
 (Hm.)
 "Raza...don't make me sick to my stomache. I AM the cook..."
 "I find it slightly disconcerting that the one who enjoys frightening people and consorting with powers that Mortal Men Know Naught Of is our cook."
 Through an odd chain of black- and gray-market sources, the party find a merchant in rare Hole-found items, specializing in semi-magical equipment. He's a short, portly middle-aged man, who'd probably keel over after ten minutes in the Hole.
* Raza grins at Estrain. "You're not the only one."
 "...Ever try to eat monster meat?" He raised an eyebrow.
 (I think it's slightly disturbing that the most sane person on the team is a Gambler.)
 "Yep. Gave up on it and ate wild plants instead. 'Course, I picked poisonous ones, so I nearly died, but it was the thought that counted."
 (Lol. I like my semi-insanity.)
 "Greetings, merchant. We hear you specialize in rare Hole-found items, specializing in semi-magical equipment."
 "Adamantoise meat is a delicacy."
* Raza pulls out the bag of coins from her purse.
  WELCOME, my friends, to Crazy Bob's Hole-porium! We specialize in the finest of artefacts found within the Depths, things mortal men fear and dream of. *he says from behind a rickety wooden stand*
 "Yes, but most monster meat isn't exactly tasty. ...Trust me...I'd know." Kul started browsing the shop.
 (Depths Lore check)
 !roll d100
 Kulvier - d100: 53 ( Total: 53 )
 (:D I'm good.)
 (lemme get to the sheet. Success, I assume?)
 Kul walks around checking to see just HOW good the 'artefacts were. "I grew up in the Depths...I can dispute any falsities.
* Raza looks at who must be Crazy Bob. "Uh, thanks. we have these coins that we'd like appraised. We'd like to get a second opinion, actually."
 (Yup. 50 Lore)
 (hm... close enough.)
 "And I'm well-aquainted with old coins. Hobby of mine, I suppose. What are you willing to offer?"
 Most of the stuff really isn't *that* rare. A few items aren't from the Depths at all. A few items, though, seem to be of a quality above and beyond what you'd find normally.
  Depends on the coins. Mind if I see 'em?
* Raza hands them over.
 Kul started to pick up the rarer things and voiced the items that weren't from the depths. "That sword isn't from the Depths sir."
 * Bob takes one coin and holds it up to the light, watching it reflect the sun, looking at its marks. "Well, it's certainly old..."
 !roll 1d100
 EK|GM - 1d100: 92 ( Total: 92 )
* Estrain looks at Kul'Vier. "Let it be for now."
  Don't think they'd be worth much nowadays, though. No rare materials to see, no obvious magic...
 (Can we make a trade check against?)
 (Sure.)
 (Raza?)
 "Raza...I'm not being fresh. I'm just pointing out thing that he can find useful in his shop for authenticity's sake."
 "Are you sure? A woman at a much smaller establishment than this said otherwise. You wouldn't be trying to cheat us would you?"

 Raza - d100: 30 ( Total: 30 )

 (...Well. Just OUTSIDE a botch. >.>)
 ((Hehe))
 The coins are probably worth somewhat more than he's implying, of course... If you *had* to guess, there's some silver in them. But it's awful tarnished. A collector who doesn't have any of this sort would buy them up lickety-split, but beyond that, the market value is, in fact, pretty low.
 Desil doesn't know jack diddly about these coins, except they might be fun to flip.
* Estrain doesn't see anything particularly special about them, but keeps his mouth firmly shut.
 "Would it iterrest you to know that these coins were sealed in the room in the pit?"
  Lotsa things are down in the Hole. They ain't all treasure - some of it's just really, really ol' junk.
 "Considering what we had to do to open that door, I seriously doubt they are valueless as you claim..."
 (*are as valueless as you)
 "Besides, these contain silver."
  *shrug* Take my advice, they're two steps above crap. But I should be able to find *someone* to buy 'em... How does... Hm.
 * Crazy Bob takes another look at the coins, brushing one off with a little brush. It shines a teeny bit.
 "Don't ask us to repeat what we learned there...I'm not exactly sure if I want to try."
  I'll be danged.
  Three steps above crap. Hows about... Hun'red-fifty chips for the bag, including the bag itself?
 Kul grinned at his two companions. He was actually very pleased they'd learned such an ability.
 "Raza...we might find a noble and sell it for triple that.."
 "You're a noble. You know how they like to collect ancient pieces."
* Raza nodded. "The old woman we met earlier wanted more for these."
  She have one eye and a crazy smile?
  One-eyed Beth would buy a dead cat for a thousand if you waved it in front of her face.
 "Wasn't she the one down the road?"
 "No, as a matter of fact," Estrain said, calmly.
 (Streetwise... Want to see if Estrain can pull up something off the top of his said. I'd use acting, BUT!)
 !roll 1d100
 Estrain - 1d100: 21 ( Total: 21 )
 Kul was playing the mind game with Bob. He would try to dance the dirrections outta him. A rather rare display of his intelligence
* Raza looks blankly at Bob. Finally she snaps back to the present. "150 doesn't seem enough for these relics. Especially when I'm sure you have the equipment to spiff these bad boys up and make them good as new. Then you'll sell each coin for 150 and we'll look like fools."
 (*Bob's head explodes from the different techniques being used on him at once.)
 (*off the top of his head)
 (I did mine first. >.>)
 (Nuh-uh.)
 (Okay, so... Streetwise to get information out of him first.)
 (Sucess...)
 (My line was to trick him into revealing the location of Beth)
 (More like to lie at him to try to get a better price. >.>)
 (Unless you were doing the same thing Est)
  Hey, if you don't like my offer, let's hear yours.
  And One-eyed Beth is prolly down the street a few blocks. She buys high, sells low, still makes a profit. No idea how, I say it's just luck.
 "Hmm. 400, perhaps. Can I have the bag back for a moment?"
 Kul looked at Est and Raza. "I think Beth had the better offer."
 * Bob raises and eyebrow at that price, and pushes the bag back. "200?"
 "350."
 (Hm... Trade roll?)

 (I'm tempted to intim.)
* Estrain looks over the bag, turning it in his fingers, appearing to simply be in idle comtemplation.
 * Bob looks at the bag of coins again, and up at Raza. "Fine, 350. I'm doing this under protest!"
 "400..."
 KUl loomed over him.
 (Don't.)
 !roll d100
 Kulvier - d100: 46 ( Total: 46 )
* Raza sighs.
 (Or not...)
 (Fine. I retract that)
 (I'd rather not get in his face at the moment.)
 "We'll take it."
 * Bob looks up. "I respect th' lady, but you're worse than ol' Beth at making a deal."
* Estrain gets Kul'Vier's attention while Bob looks at Raza. "Look at this bag." He says as quietly as he can.
 (Just checking it.)
 * Bob digs up a few high-denomination Argentum to pay for the bag-o-coins, and slaps 'em down on the wooden counter. "350 for a bag of ancient silver coinage. Deal?"
 KUl walks over, acting like he just looking away. "Why? What's up?" He says lowly.
 "He said he wanted the bag as well... Let's give it a quick look-over." (Roll either Awareness/Perception, if you have 'em, Gale)
 (I don't, so.)
 "Hey...Raza. Check those coins he paying us. Just for authenticity."
 (I can try Lore on it.)

 Kulvier - d100: 8 ( Total: 8 )
* Raza nods and looks at the coins.
 !roll d100
 Raza - d100: 100 ( Total: 100 )
 (...Wow. Y'all are suspicious.)
 (...Eesh.)
 ((Knew that was coming))
 O_O
 (Yeah, that hurts. -.-)
 (Wow Raza...we need to buy you a good luck charm.)
 The bag is fine, aged brown leather, probably coming from a farm-fed cow whose other parts wre probably used for basic beef. It's been handled by many hands, and is suprisingly sturdy despite it's age. It smells nice, and feels good in one's hand. Could probably use a good wash, though, just to be safe.
 ((Hey, at least this doesn't weigh as much as the other rolls :P))
 (^_^)
* Estrain gives the bag to the man. "Alright. It's a deal."
 Kul shakes his head. "Just a bag Estrain. Sorry. If it's anything more, I can't tell."
 * Crazy Bob ties the bag up and sets it down under the counter. "Very good! Now, is there anything else I might interest you in? Some fine weaponry, gauntlets from beneath the darkness..."
* Raza nods and pulls out the orb from her purse as well. "What can you tell me about this?"
 Kul instantly looks at the orb. "Why...can't...I stop...staring at that..."
 (had to remember what ob we were talking about...)
 !roll 1d100
 EK|GM - 1d100: 8 ( Total: 8 )
 (...)
 (Orb with a lil flme in it)
 (Yeah, I know. Two eights, though. Wow.)
 (Lol. I hope you start botching rolls. Especially if we need to fight. :D)
 * Bob gazes into the orb, head tilting to the side. "It's... pretty."
  I don't know too much about magic, my friends, but if I had to take a guess, I'd say that that's magic of the first degree.
 "Isn't it..." Kul agreed with Bob. "I feel...like a fly. I...can't stop staring..."
 *Bob continues to stare...
 !roll 1d100
 EK|GM - 1d100: 66 ( Total: 66 )
* Estrain flips a coin and catches it. "Yep. I find doing something helps. Occupy your hands or be doomed to stare at it for eternity."
 * ...and falls flat on his face, almost asleep, but with his eyes open.
 (*poke* Est...steal some stuff while ya can. Make us a profit already.)
 "...Did the thing hypnotize him?"
 "I...don't know."
 "If...it hypnotizes...why aren't I under?"
* Estrain looks around calmly. "So. While he's out, let's look for things to buy, if we do. Anything particularly nice, Kul'Vier?"
* Raza kicks Bob softly, just to make sure he's out.
 * Bob snorts, blinks, and looks up. "...I'm on the floor... why, now?"
 "The orb got you, apparently. Fell right under."
 "There are a few things in here." He pointed out the items he spied earlier.
 "Interesting. Never did that before."
 * Bob empties the leather bag of the coins, and tosses it on top of the orb before standing back up.
 "Yeah...I know...I can't stop staring at it. I figured that I'd be out irst."
  You want that thing appraised, go find a Mage - heck, get alla Palestra Magus to have a glare. But get it outta my shop, now, if ya please.
* Estrain shakes his head. "A shame. Can't be helped, I suppose. Let's go."
 (brb)
* Raza sighs. "Thank you Bob." She takes her orb, places it back in her purse and walks out.
 Kul nudged Estrain and whispered. "Got us something as comensation?"
 "No, sadly. If Raza hadn't kicked him, perhaps I would have."
 "We did get the money for the coins, though."
* Raza hands each of her companions 150 AGT.
 Kul grinned. "Not each for my lik...nevermind."
 "Well, what if he'd woken up while you guys were doing whatever it is you were going to do?"
 ((d'oh! I thought we had 450. 100 each :P))
 (Wait. We got 400 for them, right?)
 (Oh, 350...)
 "Uhhhh...I could have used Darkside."
 (back. 350.)
 (116, 117, 117. WHO WANTS ONE LESS GOLD?!?)
 ((The hermit!))
 (me.)
 * Mailmoogle would gladly take 2 Agt. He hasn't been paid in days, after all.
 (117 to Estrain and Raza, 116 to Kul'Vier. So it goes)
 (*nod*)
 (Well, that was a fun diversion.)
 (Let's go to Pallestra Magus! More bargaining to do.)
 (Urge to tackle and beat Bob rising..."
 * The sun begins to set on the town; people having done their day's errands and work begin to head home for what little light they might yet enjoy.
 (We grabbed the orb again before we left, BTW. >.>)
 (You *could*. But that's be A. Right were you started, and B. About two miles away from your employer's home.)
 (Don't want it leave it there accidentially)
 (*nod*)
 (I know. I just like more money. :D)
 ((And Daddy Lial is an alumnus of the Palistra))
 Kul turned and walked towards the door, but stopped and pointed at an expensively priced sword. "It's not old, or powerful. It's just a long sword..."
 (And he'd be pissed if you went halfway and just came back for one little shiny orb...)
 (...Oh...lovely...I hope I don't have to run into the ol' man and report an update...)
 (... ^_^)
 (...Wait, NM)
 (SHIT SHIT SHIT!!! I'M GIVING THE GM IDEAS!!! QUICK, KILL ME!!!)
  Appraisals are sometimes a time-consuming process; I wasn't finished with that blade. *Thank* you, though.
 (For some reason, I thought the Pallestra was in the town)
 (Never mind me. >.>)
 (*points at the map*)
 ((Silly you))
 (*mapS)
 Bah to you and your pathetic logic! >.>)
 (Logic is over rated)
 (indeed.)
 (Hm...)
 * The sun's still setting, and from the distance, three chocobos and their riders are seen calmly walking through the streets.
 (*GM casts �Reminder of Semi-Important Things)
 (Let's go. Miles to walk before we sleep, and so on)
 "Well. It's Mitzu and he others."
 * The three 'bos halt, and turn towards the party. "Ma'am! You comin' with, or are we gonna have ta leave ya behind?"
 "We're coming."
 "I'm feeling generous tonight you guys. I'm accepting requests for dinner tonight."
 "Sorry for the hold up. Got some gold for our trouble, though."
 "More than I expected, as well."
 * The other party finally gets into not-shouting range. "I'd hope so. You wouldn't believe how much trouble we had to go through just to get our birds."
 "All they tried to do was trample the Innkeeper. The first time was a mistake, too."
 "Oh? What trouble?"
 * Mitzu points up at the previous line of dialouge.
 "I have a feeling that we'll never be welcomed in that inn again, between that and last night..."
* Raza shrugs. "It was kind of tacky anyhow."
 "Nearly being killed by Shiva AND stampeding chocobos."
  And Mitzu.
 "...ZI can't help that you pissed me off Estrain..."
  I just wanted reimbursement for our birds being spooked. Loss of time means loss of profit.
  Let's just go before he calls the guards on us, okay?
 "Yes. Money makes the world go round. I need more of it."
 "Come on, let's go. We need to make SOME distance today before it's too dark to see."
 * Indeed, there's only an hour or two of real light left, if that.
* Raza agrees.
 "Guards? Hmmmm...taking armor as spoils of battle. Why not stick around for the guards?"
  Because guards have friends. Lots of them.
 "What are you talking about? I can SEE in the dark."
 * Jack helps Raza up onto their 'bo, and slowly begins to trot ahead. "So, we goin' now?"
 "Yep."
 "Yes, please."
 "And Kul, we are on a PR mission. Stop being so....you."
 "I was hired to be me Raza. I cook, I beat things up, I'm promoting your father's armor line."
 (gyah, brb.)
 "Not if you're scaring all the customers away."
 "You're father wanted a 'bad boy' image. I'll be very popular among the mercenary costumers."
* Raza sighs. "Fine."
 "Just don't drag us into it."
* Estrain whistles cheerfully. He's happy enough as long as he's not the one bickering and they don't get violent.
 "Hey...you cover the magic-users look. And Estrain covers the thieves looks."
 "I'm mortally wounded, Kul." Estrain grinned. "I prefer 'wealth redistributor'."
 "Well, not really. Bit too rusty on my pickpocketing."
 Kul smirked. "Ok Rogue."
 "That works."
 (back)
 (WB master.)
* Raza shakes her head at the two. It seemed she was the only one with class. At least she could busy herself seducing Jack.
 (Now then... I actually *could* do more tonight, because that's what I had planned. Should we stop here, or charge ahead?)
 (Be warned, battle might be afoot.)
 (YAY!!!!!)
 (CHARGE!!)
 (Figured you'd say that.)
 ( ^_^ Of corse.)
 (Charge. I'd rather not have a near-pointless session. Wow. We sold stuff.)
 (Let's get a-movin'.)
 (And... the last vote?)
 (Lol. Two against her vote. If she votes against it, we still win. :P)
 (Well, technically, yeah, but the bit I'd planned *does* involve her.)
 (especially if she's still awake/alive/connected.)
 (...Mory?)
 (Hello?)
 Grr, brb.
 (Maybe she went to the bathroom or something.)
 ((computer froze but let's head on))
 (yay!)
 (back.)
 (Yay again!)
 * The party + party + one head out of town on the eastern Mainway, heading for the coastline. The sun casts long shadows before them, while in the distance, yelling voices are carried by the wind...
 "Adventuring. Never a dull moment."
 Kul rushes ahead, trying to listen in better on the voices and anything else he can make out.

 The topic is difficult to determine, but it's fair to say that someone - wait, two - three someones are awful mad about something.
 ( :D)
 They're also aboveground, dunderhead.
 (grr..)
 ((Empathy?))
 Another voice carries on the wind, a calm voice amidst the chaos. The party approaches the four, in the middle of the road, almost completely unaware of all else...
 (Sure.)
 ( ^_~; You can already tell they're pissed.)
 !roll d100
 Raza - d100: 37 ( Total: 37 )
 They're fighting, apparently, about something that they think means a lot.
 A tall, redheaded, powerful-looking man with spiked gloves and a bad attitude...
 A shorter, blue-haired man with a slightly whiny voice, carrying a fishing pole...
 A little girl, in ribbons and bows and shiny dress...
 Kul looked back at the group. "That tall guy isn't anything like me...no comments..."
 "I wasn't going to say a word."
 And a beautiful young woman - dare I say, at the least, as beautiful as Raza and possibly moreso - being the calmest one of the bunch.
 "Excuse me," Estrain says. "You're in the middle of the road. And you're all REALLY DAMN LOUD!"
 * The four stop their arguing and look over. As one, their eyes light up.
 Kul grinned and nodded to the calm woman. "Hello there."
 (...Wait, DAMN IT. You made three monsters...)
 The redhead comes over, and bows before Raza. "Honey, you're just what we've been lookin' fer-"
  Hey, red, let her see it all for 'erself!
 Kul stepped betwwen the man and Raza. "Back off.."
 "Yes, please do."
  Hey! Don't bring random strangers into this! That's not fair at all!
 * The woman sighs. "I'm sorry, travelers, my friends are having a dispute...
 *Red backs off a little. "S'ry, don't get yer pants ina twist."
 "That's an expression used only by those who overstep their boundaries. Give us our space and we'll give you yours."
* Raza looks at the woman who almost threatens her beauty. "What's the problem?"
 Dark energies were already beginning to crackle across Kulvier. The Dark Knight was poised for a fight. He looked over at the woman. "It's not our right to get involved. I'm sorry you're having a dispute."
  Rem *points to the fisherman* found a bracelet by the side of the road, and, well... Everyone started fighting.
  I can't get them to stop fighting, and they won't give up their claims on the bracelet. Things will get out of hand sooner or later...
 "In short, everyone wants it for themselves?"
 * The woman nods.
 "Oh. Fun."
  Sarcastic much?
* Raza nods. "It's always over an accessory."
 Kul looked at Estrain, the rogue was obviously ready for a fight if nessicary. He was starting to respect his readiness. "Why not leave it alone. Ever think it might be bate to stall you?"
 "Why yes, miss, I'm sarcastic when I think idiodicy is present. What's the deal? A bracelet is a damned bracelet."
 "Roll a die and give it to whoever calls the right number."
  Exactly! Why sh-
* Raza looks shocked. "That is not true! You just don't have a healthy appreciation for fine jewelery."
  But that bracelet would make the *perfect* gift for my beloved. I can't let such an opportunity slip away by random chance alone!
 Kul reached back, gripping his sword, just in case. "...Why not check your suroundings first...are ou sure you're not setting yourselves up to be way-layed?"
 * Red smiles. "Yer average thief doesn't stand a *chance* against me."
 "Confidence before a fall much?"
 Kul glanced at Red. "For someone who just hit on a complete stranger, I find it hard to believe you can even love someone deeply enough."
 "Now now, Kul. I *am* beautiful."
  Yeah, he's a bit of a bast-
 * THe pretty woman hits the little girl upside the head. "You hush."
 Kul grinned and chuckled. "If you're so beautiful...why hasn't Jack noticed yet?"
  ...Jack who?
* Raza 's features darken. "Don't start with me Kul."
 * Jack gets scared and slinks down in his saddle.
 "Hmmm....hit a nerve did i?"
 "Oh, shut up."
 "We don't need TWO fights here."
 "He started it!"
  I suppose you've got your own set of problems, but please, help us with ours first...
  At the rate we're going now, we'll never get off this path, let alone home.
 Kul smirked and looked looked at the bracelet. "Can I see it for a moment?"
 "Like I said. I've got a pair of dice or two. I'm a gambler by practice, and I've got a die or two that'll work."
 * The four back away fro mthe center of the path, where a dull, golden bracelet sits on the dirt.

 (...Eesh.)
 * The bracelet itself really isn't all that interesting... no jewels, inscriptions, shinies, it's not even adjustable. It's just... a bracelet, no ifs, ands or buts.
 ((well that answers that))
 Kul picks it up and looks at the four. "...Why not take it with you and turn it in to the guards?"
* Estrain blinks. "Hate to be rude, but... You're arguing over THIS? You could buy one like this for 50 Agt or so in any city."
 "You're fighting over that?" Raza looks at the redhead. "If I were your sweetheart and you handed me that, I'd have you arrested for abuse."
 * Rem nods. "Again, the man's right! Why not just give it to me and let it be done with?"
 "That's just cruel and unusual."
 "not everyone is rich like you Raza..."
  Well, I'd shine it up first, maybe get it adjusted...
  Like *you* know how to adjust a fine piece of gold like that!
 "Hey, watch it. Don't start up again..."
 * The woman sneaks around the side of the conflict, popping up beside the party.
  See? It's almost hopeless. Not one of them deserves it more than the other...
 Kul rubbed his head, noticing the woman moving. "Want me to just destroy it?"
  But if we just leave it be, they'll all run back and grab it. We tried that.
  You honestly want to go head-to-head against Tirfi *nods at Red*?
 "We have chocobos. We don't have to."
 "Destroy the thing and run like hell."
 "...i' a Dark Knight who'd living in the Depths...I can handle him."
 "You really need to update your resume. That's getting old."
 "Hey, leave the man alone. That's his shtick."
  Destruction is never the best solution...
* Raza rolls her eyes.
 "But it works, and I don't think they're going to get anything else through their heads."
 "No. It's not. But it'll end the conflict."
  I can't decide who should get it, that's just not fair. But if you, m'lady, were to choose... At the least, it could be called a fair an honest outside opinion.
 * She sighs. "So much destruction... Can you think of no better option?"
 "Well, we can have Estrain roll a die.
 "Raza, just pick someone. Or have me roll dice. I don't care."
 "Or, I can just do as they ask and pick someone."
 "This is stupid, and I'd like to get it over with."
 "1 and 2 for the girl, 3 and 4 for the big guy, 5 and 6 for the fisher."
* Raza sighs and motions for Jack to move the chocobo closer to the group.
 *Jack kicks the 'bo into first gear and trots t othe edge of the group's triangle.
 * Mitzu puts a hand on her blade. If things get ugly, they'll get ugly *fast*.
 "Alright people," she says to everyone, "I want each of you to state your cases. Why should you have that piece of scrap metal masquerading as a piece of jewelery?"
 Kul looks at Mitzu and nods. "Yeah. Let's hope Jack can excape befor the fighting starts, if it does."
 * Red steps forward, bows at Raza, and says, "As a gift for my beloved, and nothing more..."
 *Red steps back, and the Fisherman sorta bounce-bows. "I found it, and a fisher always gets to do as he will with his catches, and never lets go."
 "Hey...Estrain." He nodded to Est to come over to him.
 * As Rem the fisherman steps back, the little girl bounds towards Raza, curtsies. "It'd go great with my outfits at home!"
 "Yeah?"
 * The woman smiles, and whspers, "the first quiet moment in the whole day..."
 "You've a better eye for detail...if there's a bracelet dropped...is there anything else? ...Maybe a body? Something doesn't sit right..."
 (Either Raza's thinking really hard, or Mory's computer froze again. Or something, I'unno.)
* Raza nods. "Hmm, you all have...interesting causes. But I think it'd be best for the fisherman to take that. You," she says to Red, "can do much better for your beloved and you should. And your dresses are probably too pretty to ruin with that. So it's only fair that the one with less to lose takes that piece of junk."
 (Or she was waiting to see what I was gonna do.)
* Estrain frowns, turning to the woman. "Show me where it was found."
  Just in the middle of the road... No one's had the chance to pick it up yet.
 "I'm doing this for your own goods."
 "Hmm. Any scuff marks? Like, it was removed quickly?"
 "Does it look like it fell? I only got a quick look at it."
 "Same here." He started to sniff the air, for the tell-tale scents of death.
 * Red and the little girl are both sullen, while Rem the fisherman claps. "Beautiful! I thank you, m'lady, and as thanks..."
 * The fisherman's voice turns more bubbly, his eyes gaining a blue glow. "I give myself, Remora, master of fish, to your service as a Caller of the Celesti."
 * The fisherman then dissapears in a small splash of water.
  Thank you... You've proven yourself peaceful and decisive enough for my tastes.
 ((Woohoo!!!))
 Kul raised an eyebrow. "The Ancients? Are they all ancients?"
* Raza blinks, then grins. "Whodathunk being nice was so...good?"
 * The woman's voice echos against nothing as she bows to Raza. "I, Lakshmi, do hereby vow that I will serve you to any and all peaceful ends that you may try for, as a Caller of the Celesti."
* Raza bows back. "Thank you."
 * The beautiful woman dissapears in a flash.
* Estrain frowns. "So you're all Celesti... Interesting. Not to be rude, but do you do this often? Just stand in the middle of a road and wait for travelers to pass some test?"
 Kul looked at Raza and blinked stupidly. "...I'm confused...I really am..."
 * Red and the little girl, however, are not so pleased.
  As for my test... Have you no passion? No love of love, the brightest flame of all?
 ((lol, brb))
  No sense of beauty, style, heavenly appearances?
 "I lost my chance at love."
 (...Nice timing.)
 (Good. He's got a heart sick Okami to argue with. :D)
  Your sense of prose?
  Mitzu, now prolly ain't a good time to criticize th', uh, nice almost-gods.
 "Appearance is nothing. I can weave a web of lies about who I am and what I do with disguise. It says nothing about who you are, and to obsess yourself with it is foolish.
 "My appearence is meaningful to me Estrain. I need to look dark and foreboading. ...Hell...I commonly feel it."
 * Red's hands begin to smolder, his hair standing on end... The little girl's feet silently leave the ground.
 "How dare you say I have no sense of beauty style or appearance?"
 "Well...sometimes you don't Raza.
 "Fun. Now, if I've got my research right... You're Ifrit. Fire. And you're Siren."
  We could certainly call you worse... But an inept Caller would be the worst of them all.
 "Uhh...trust me...she's scary when she gets pissed...don't push her..."
  Sylph, actually... Siren decided not to come. Lucky her.
 "Ah. My apologies. I'm not a Caller or Summoner by trade."
  So... Prove you're more than one withot passion, without beauty. Prove yourself a true Caller! Prove your ability, your strength, your soul!
 Kul started to get made. "Wait...if you care so much about love, where were you when I had my heart torn out and cast in the dirt! Where were you when I needed help!" He was growling at Ifrit.
 * Red bursts into full flame, his body ecome more muscular, souching, his hands becoming clawed and sharp...
 "Angst later. Asskicking now."
 mad*
* Raza frowns. "Fine." She hops off of the chocobo and readies her bow. "Not now Kul."
  The man's got a point.
 * The little girl sprouts little, white-feathered wings, her dress becoming gossamer.
* Raza looks at Ifrit. o 0 (Not good.)
 (Heh.)
 "Estrain...Raza...I have a bone to pick with Ifrit...What saw we teach them a lesson. Let's try what we learned." He grinned darkly.

 * Ifrit lands, somehow managing to not fall face-first again, too. "Don't... fuck... with a Celesti, puppy."
 END ROUND 3
 STATUS PHASE:
 "Right. We're going to have to take you out now. Lots of hard feelings."
 Subconscious: Bite me Fire bitch.
 Kul is KO'ed. Ifrit's Blind hits (2).
 BEGIN ROUND 4.
 !roll 4d10
 EK|GM - 4d10: 2, 10, 3, 7 ( Total: 22 )
 Desil, Ifrit, Sylph, Raza.
* Estrain goes after Ifrit, not calling on Lady Luck again.
 !roll 2d100
 Estrain - 2d100: 22, 15 ( Total: 37 )
 (I'm now very glad I didn't make that a T: Group attack...)
 Hit + hit.
 (o_@; Wow...)
 !roll d6+30
 Estrain - d6+30: 5 ( Total: 35 )
 !roll d6+20
 Estrain - d6+20: 6 ( Total: 26 )
 !roll 1d100
 Estrain - 1d100: 25 ( Total: 25 )
 (Maybe you shoulda stopped using lady luck long ago.)
 (And Blind is reapplied. :P)
 Blind goes up to (4), and Ifrit is at 17 HP... And out of MP from Meteor Strike.
 Ifrit blindly runs at Desil, hoping to score a hit.
 !roll 1d100
 EK|GM - 1d100: 48 ( Total: 48 )
 And barely misses clawing Desil's face off.
 Sylph, meanwhile, has been chargins a �Cure. She releases it just as Ifrit misses Desil's face.
 !roll 1d8+32
 EK|GM - 1d8+32: 1 ( Total: 33 )
 (e_e; Wow...I do a huge chunk of the work and am unconscious...)
 (You'll still get your EXP, don't worry.)
 Raza's up!
 (I'm not. I just wanted to score the killing blow on If. >:))
 (^_^ Would have ended past conflit within him.)
 (Then buy more Phoenix Downs. Or don't go charging at a friggin' demi-god.)
 (But what do I know?)
* Raza tosses her Fish Scale at Ifrit.
 (^_^ Not very much. Or you'd know I'm an impetuous fool. )
 !roll 2d8+72,200%
 Raza - 2d8+72,200%: 4, 1 ( Total: 154.0 )
 (j/k)
 ((Overkill, but we needed to be rid of him))
 (It's 150%.)
 Elemental Weakness is 150%, I believe.
 !roll 2d8+72,150%
 Raza - 2d8+72,150%: 1, 5 ( Total: 117.0 )
 (oh boy, big difference.)
 * Ifrit howls in agony as his flames are extinguished; a blackened, tortured form lays on the ground before dissapearing in a shower of light.
  FREET!
 END ROUND 4
 Status Phase:
 Desil didn't get screwed over by Jinx. Hunh.
* Estrain readies his boomerangs again. "Eye for an eye."
 BEGIN ROUND 5
 !roll 3d10
 EK|GM - 3d10: 5, 9, 4 ( Total: 18 )
* Raza frowns at Sylph. "I was doing you two a favor. I just thought I'd let you know that."
 Raza, Sylph, Desil.
 Subconscious Kul: Wow...you to revenge for me. i'm touched. :D *snifles*
 took*
 (Fire his ass. :P)
* Raza casts Poison on Sylph.
 (Her. Whatever.)
 Heh.
 !roll d8+36
 Raza - d8+36: 7 ( Total: 43 )
 !roll d100
 Raza - d100: 7 ( Total: 7 )
 Sylph is Poisoned (U), and pretty well hurt.
 She begins chanting, and points at Raza - the wind begins to howl, and sparks of life fly from the Caller to the Celesti...
 !roll 1d10+32
 EK|GM - 1d10+32: 3 ( Total: 35 )
 ...doing 19 damage. It heals Sylph enough, though...
* Estrain smacks Sylph.
 !roll 2d100
 Estrain - 2d100: 2, 73 ( Total: 75 )
* Raza grasps vainly at the life leaving her. "You'll...pay for that..." she says clutching her chest.
* Kulvier drools on the ground
 !roll 1d6+30,200%
 Estrain - 1d6+30,200%: 5 ( Total: 70.0 )
 (Did the second one hit?)
 Lemme check.
 Barely.
 It barely hit.
 !roll 1d6+20
 Estrain - 1d6+20: 2 ( Total: 22 )
 !roll 1d100
 Estrain - 1d100: 62 ( Total: 62 )
 (No Blind)
 Huzzah.
 END ROUND 5.
 Status Phase:
 Kul is still KO'ed, and he's beginning to drool. Someone get a PD or a mop.
 BEGIN ROUND 6.
 !roll 3d10
 EK|GM - 3d10: 10, 5, 8 ( Total: 23 )
 ((Poison damage))
 Subconscious: ...I hate you Ifrit...
 Sylph, Desil, Raza, fsck, point.
 12 poison damage.
 Sylph's out of MP and out of ideas...
 !roll d100
 EK|GM - d100: 77 ( Total: 77 )
 Hit...
 !roll 1d8+16
 EK|GM - 1d8+16: 1 ( Total: 17 )
 6 pitiful damage to Desil...
 Sylph + fight alone + GM being afraid of overpowering enemies = bad for Sylph.
 "Want to call this fight? I've no desire to continue fighting pointlessly, and we've all but won this."
 >:) Kick her ass
 She deserses it.
 * Slph slowly floats to the ground. "I still don't like your decision... And as such, will not be one of your fellows. But I can live with the kindness of your current friends. Unless you see a reason to finish me, Raza Lial."
 (I'd so put that thing in it's place...)
* Raza shakes her head. "I'm sorry you feel that way, but I'll leave you to your business."
 * Sylph nods, and dissapears in a flash of light.
 * The path is silent, and the sky is nearly dark. In the middle of the path is a tarnished, old golden bracelet... and it, too, dissapears in a spark of light.
* Estrain sighs and slumps, turning to Mitzu and co. "Well. That was tiring..."
 "And didn't get a whole lot done."
  Ma'am... What..?
 "Well, I got too Celestai outta this."
 *two
 Kulvier winces in defeated pain. Both on the inside and the outside.
  Next time we run into demi-gods in the middle of the road, I vote that we just keep moving.
 "Amen."
 (I would think that Ifrit would be Raza's too. He was challenging the group to prove their passion in battle. He lost. Fair and square.)
 *blink*
 ...The problem with that is that that's a good point.
 Damn. You win!
 ^_^ I have my moments of intelligence
 If the other two Celesti weren't Healing and Suck, then I'd have a problem with it...
 ((Yay a third!!))
* EK|GM slumps back in his chair. "Anything else, or shall we call it a night?"
 (You're welcome Raza. :p)
 (Yeah. ^_^ Wake up the cook)
 (EXP and Gil/Agt and Items)
 And to boot, Ifrit is just Shiva, but with fire instead of ice. So it's not overpowering, anyhow...
 AH, point.
 EXP: (1,452 + 1,719) in total. GIL: (477 + 597) in total.
 O_O Holy shit....power leveled
 Remora was the least profitable to fight, and probably the more deadly (�Water much?)
 (1057 EXP each)
 Shoulds about right.
 (358 Agt each)
 Awesome. ^_^
 ...I said Gil, didn't I? *hits self*
 (Reflexes. :P)
 (No level up yet.)
 Yeah, but still.
 :D That was still an awesome gain.
 And pretty close to a level up, about 450 exp away, I think.
 Aye. I should've made them a bit more powerful - not have Meteor Strike cost so much (or T:group!) and make Sylph not-worthless...
 ^_^; 
 Well...you made Sylph nseem like a child.
 (Heh. Sylph was SO support)
 ((Thank you EK for the Summons :D))
 You could play it out that she returns having grown from the experience and forced herself to become stroger
 Aye.
* EK|GM has an idea: A Celesti that's a recurring villain.
 I'm still trying to set up Kul to change into a Paladion
 (They're boring. :P)
 Yeah. Odin
 Also, you're welcome, Mory. Nice to see someone who's thankful for the imaginary things I give them!
 >:)
 ((:D))
 (Heh. Thank you, EK. :P)
 (Tell us what items we got now. :P
 (You forgot that part)
 I ha-
 ...
 *looks at sheet*
 *looks at other sheet*
 ...Uh, I think three Calls and 2/3rds of a level is plenty.
 (You just forgot, didn't you.)
 Yes.
 Yes, I did.
 (Heheh.)
 But I also forgot to add in Ifrit's W: Elements.
 So you're getting free EXP from that.
 (Eh, they were pushovers anyway.)
 yeah...
 (Though the Antipode made it considerably easier. :P)
 Note to self; overpower Celesti next time and just dumb down their AI should the need arise.
 *nod*
 I was hoping the 1d100 would be low...
 Like, 2.
 Also... What about Dual-techs? It'd be easier, for one, and it'd leave one other person to heal or whatnot.
 ^_^; What can I say, I tend to roll well.
 I warned you I have that odd knack
* EK|GM 's been replaying Chrono Trigger. Triple Techs are overrated, and Double Techs are underrated...
 CT RULES ASS!!!!
 It's why i want Kul to have Scythe!
 MAGUS RULES!!!!!
