Session Ident: #terranotos
* Now talking in #terranotos
* Topic is 'http://www.geocities.com/elemental_knight1/terranotos/ | Current Status: Love and Revenge | Next Game: Sunday the 20th. We're >>ing to when the letter arrives. Whee!'
* Set by ElementalKnight on Fri Mar 18 19:28:55
* ChanServ sets mode: +o ElementalKnight
 oO; That's just flat out freaky...
 *blink*
 ey honey :D
 So yeah, I'm horribly late.
 Hey
 My bad. Totalyl A. lost track of time and B. forgot the campaign was tonight.
 I'm outta town andf I was here relatively on time :P
* Kulvier hides in the lil' fort he's made out of his bed sheets and pillows.
* ElementalKnight has now bee Rubbed In It (4).
 Right-o then... um, are we still in the mood to game?
 Yes
 of course
 And Ty?
 Ty?
 He's alive? o.O
 *poke* Unless he's gotten transfixed by something shiny aga-.
 btw, EK, make an appearance for Fax. he's starting Aria up again
 As in, guest-star, or actually play? Don't think I can do the latter.
 And yes, EK, I was transfixed by something shiny. :P
 I'd say guest star
 Fax never got back to me. o_o I just remembered that
* Moryssa is now known as Raza
 I went back to the window to do the "time until I leave countdown". :P
* Typhoon is now known as Estrain
 >.>
 will we need our sheets, cuz if so, I'll need you to send me mine. Or I can just go off of my pretty decent memory.
 Do you have my updated one somewhere?
* ElementalKnight quickly tries to get some thoughts together. Go ahead and send the sheets, in case he decides to whip a monster up post-haste.
 ^_^; I just flat-out need mine
 Raza and Kul need theirs.
 Hope you have them somewhere
 I think I have the latest Raza/Desil in my FFRPG inbox.
 Because the site's kinda outdated, to put it lightly
 *nod* I know.
 I've got Desil and Raza, Lv. 4 in my FFRPG inbox.
 Oh, and Ladis.
 ...I'd ask where the bloke is, but heck with that.
 aren't we still level 4?
 ^^; Didn't Mory send ya mine?
 I thought we were 5.
 No, 4
 Oh, yeah, here it is.
 Kul, Lv. 4.
 Hey, EK
 Yo.
* ElementalKnight is now known as EK|
 ...
 His new strikes are Holy and Blind
* EK| is now known as EK|GM
 yay! Is On the Ball (2)
 still think Shadow makes more sense :P
 me is Dazed and Confused (3)
 Don't make me rant about Stop's old Duration (3).
 I'll likely use Shadow Strike, sinse it IS easier to explain
 Yeah, but then we have to change last session.
 Not much farther to Level 8. Pick up Shadow then, or later, when Kul's comfortable with it.,
 Kul was like "OMG HOLY OMGOMGOMG". >.>
 Or not, whichever.
 He was, yes.
 'twas amusing.
 A bit sudden, but amusing.
 yeah
 * The Mailmoogle impatiently taps his foot off the screen's edge.
 Anything else before I begin floundering for ideas again?
 Yes
 What's Kul's HP and ARM? :P
 :D Can I sing?
 Um, go nuts, I guess.
 Sorry, I'm just wierd today
 HP 91, ARM 26.
 For Kul.
 I've been handing Est his ass in your absense
 Yeah, right.
 O_O DAMN Ty, you were one off on both!
 More like Highwind handed me my ass
 And yes, I rock, don't remind me. :P
 I have ego problems as it is
 :D Naw. That was all me
 Indeed.

 I totally miss whatever I was aiming for.

 Kulvier - d100: 41 ( Total: 41 )

 fsck.
 Anyhow...
 See?
 * The Mailmoogle walks on screen, plugs the memory card into the save machine, and puts the cursor over File 2.
 We all ready? DOn't mind my delaying tactics.
 Ready
 R
 yep
 * Mailmoogle loads up File 2, opening six days after the Morning of Gaiden Cutscene goodness - that is, a week after Raza's letter went out.
* Kulvier is busy spending morning sparring with Mitzu.
* Estrain watches, taking notes on their styles - and working out ways to exploit the flaws in each.
* Kulvier is making obvious flaws to throw the THIEF off.
 (Yeah right. :P)
* Raza drags Jack over to tye Carrier serice to see if the mail's in.
 (:P)
 (the)
 (service)
 * Indeed, there's new mail. *ding*
 "Come on Kul, you can do better than that!" Estrain says, laughing
 (And no service for you uintil after dark. And even then it's costly.)
  To Raza Lial, C/O Eric & Eastern Tip Lial Emporium
 "Estrain, why don't YOU come down here and we can spar." Kul grunted with a smirk.
* Raza opens the letter. "I wonder what Daddy's got to say..."
 "Be happy to." ~Kind of arrogant to challenge me while you're worn-down from training and I'm still fresh, isn't it?~
 ~Mind, as long as he thinks I'm not a threat, I have an advantage...~
 * The letter, in no uncertain but far more diplomatic and you-can't-blame-me-even-if-you-somehow-read-this language, encourages Raza to hand Altercation, Inc.'s ass to itself on a silver platter.
 Kul was in no way tired. He was simply having fun with Mitzu. Kul grinned and bowed to Mitzu, then turned to Estrain, raising his sword.
 * It suggests the buying-out of minor Altercation assets, such as various mines in the Zephyr, recruiting new Lial employees in the farmlands, promoting themselves thoroughly in the Palestras...
 "My sentiments exactly," she mutters to herself.
 Estrain flipped out his boomerangs. ~I'm not taking the blind poison off these. The way he's acting, I'd prefer to see him fall... Here's hoping Mitzu doesn't notice.~ He added the last part with a small mental smile, taking care not to let it show.
 * ...Promoting around the Hole, basic trechery (but only through untracable means - that is, hiring Mercs to hire Mercs and go kill things), manipulation of markets (such as making the weapon business dry and buying up the assets *then*), and a few other small ideas.
 "As you're the challenger, I'll be taking the first action... Do you mind?~
 (Gah. ", not ~)
 (My grammar lives on!)
 (Anything about her Awakening?)
 * The letter ends with the wish that Raza not get *too* hurt, and that she succeed in her first real business venture.
 (Oh.)
 "I won't mind, as long as you play fair Estrain. i'm not going to use my new abilities. So no poison...as you're prone to do." Kul bowed to Estrain and readied himself.
 *Raza's father has contacted a few old friends at Palestra Magus, and they're looking into a number of things. They all agree that it's *highly* unusual, but not entirely impossible; they also advice her to keep an eye on her newfound powers. A few students have been known to go through such empowerments, and not come out of the affair entirely alive.
 ~Damn, is this guy a mind-reader? That's disturbing.~
 "Alright. Mind taking that armor off, then?"
 "You're wearing your gear Estrain. I don't see why I should remove mine."
 Satisfied, Raza folds up the letter, puts it in her purse and then drags Jack back to the inn.
 * Jack is dragged, still clutchign a cup of coffee and basically unaware of all else.
 Estrain grins. "The only thing that makes these lethal," Estrain says, "is their disabling feature. If you're going to take away my advantages, why shouldn't you lose yours?"
 Estrain shrugs, and takes off his armor. "See, look. Now we'll be on an even footing. Happy?"
 * Mitzu, meanwhile, watches the Desil/Kul matchup, taking mental notes on *both*. For posterity and the formation of tactics in the future, of course. 
 Kul stripped his gear and tossed off his shirt as well. It always felt better to be unencumbered. He nodded to Estrain. "Estrain. I'll put my hits. Without armor, I don't want to leave any scars. i'll restrict myself to the flat-edge."
 (pull*)
* Raza gets to the inn in time to see Desil and Kul getting ready to spar. .o 0 (Those boys should be practicing on Alan's face, not eachother.)
* Kulvier in the past week Kul had calmed down some, managed to seem less burdened. He was still foul-mouthed, thick-headed, and overly hot-headed in an arguement, but at least he wasn't brooding anymore.
 Estrain adjusts the boomerang, flipping a section. It moves cleanly, and Estrain shows him the edge. "Clean."
 (*boomerangs)
 (Heh. Now we have no ARM.)
 (Whoever crits, wins.)
 (Hell, whoever goes first twice wins
 Kul nods. "Then let us begin."
 (As long as they hit)
 (Init is d100, right?)
 (d10.)
 (d1-yeah)
 (otherwise, you'd have like twelve turns.)
 (Do the honor of rolling, EK. :P)
 ^^
 Kul/Desil
 !roll 2d10
 EK|GM - 2d10: 10, 7 ( Total: 17 )
 (I go first.)
 (Alphabetical order, yay!)
 (Gee, whodathunk?)
* Estrain flips his boomerangs. "Get ready."
 !roll 2d100
 Estrain - 2d100: 28, 1 ( Total: 29 )
 (...I win.)
 !roll 1d6+30
 Estrain - 1d6+30: 3 ( Total: 33 )
 (lol, Kul sucks)
 !roll 1d6+30,200%
 Estrain - 1d6+30,200%: 2 ( Total: 64.0 )
 * Mitzu leans over to Raza. "I get the feeling we're going to be dragging one of them away unconcious."
 (Hmmm...looks like I'm still up. >:))
 (Nope. :P)
 (No ARM)
* Raza shakes her head. "I'm more inclined to leave them outside until they wake up."
 (So you just took 97 damage.)
 (Too bad no Darkside anymore. >.>)
 (Lol.)
  Point...
 Kul hauled himself to his feet and shook his head. "Didn't know head shots were fair game..."
 The boomerangs fly in a vicious twin arc. Although, without the edge, they don't cut, they still leave great bruises...
 "Not my fault you decided to try to duck that way."
 "Getting your head in the path of a quick-moving boomerang isn't smart..."
* Kulvier cracked his neck and looked at Desil. "...You know my movements. You arced it."
 Estrain raises an eyebrow. "Any proof?"
 "I study your pattern just as much as you study mine."
* Raza raises her hand. "oookay! Got a letter from Daddy!"
 Kul looked at Raza and nodded. "What word does he send?"
  Hey, no one's dead. I'm almost dissapointed.
 Kul grinned at Mitzu. "Don't worry Mitzu, next time we spar I won't hold back. Ok?" 
* Raza pulls out the letter and reads the part partaining to Altercations Inc. "So yeah, I'm thinking maybe we can start with the Palestras?"
* Estrain puts his armor back on, readjusts the boomerangs to reveal their poisoned edges, and closes his eyes. ~Well, that was much quicker than I thought it'd be. Still, hopefully, those bruises will leave strong reminders...~
 * Jack takes a sip and smiles. "I'm up fer that. Been a while since I've been home..."
 !roll d100
 Kulvier - d100: 19 ( Total: 19 )
 <.<
* Estrain flips the boomerangs back into their cases and smiles slightly. ~Well, can't brood. Back on business, Estrain.~
 Kul runs up and smacks Desil in the back for the hell of it. "Never lower your guard around me."
* Estrain snarls. "You are dead."
 "If you ever do that again..."
* Raza -_-'
 Kul wasn't trying to hurt, just warn. He smirked and tackled Desil locking up his arms.
 _-_
 (You managed to earn Kul's respect, congrats.)
* Estrain kicks him.
 Or knees, if he's in a position to.
 * Jack laughs, which when consuming coffee is never a good idea, and the image of Kul giving Desil a bearhug.
 "HEY! Kul! Heel! Business time, okay?" She looks at Mitzu and shakes her head. "Where's the newspaper when you need it?"
 Kul started laughing and let go of Desil. "No hard feeling Desil. You just left yourself open."
 ~I am getting his ass DISCHARGED when we get back to Notos.~
* Estrain couldn't say likewise.
  Newspaper? I'll remember that one... >.>
 "Hey...wait...newspapers hurt."
  Which is why I'll remember it.
  So, letter?
 "...I'll remember to be rougher then." Kul gave Mitzu a knowing grin.
 "Yeah. Daddy suggested we do some heavy promotions at the Palestras. I'm inclined to agree, since they're our target market anywho."
 * Jack now has the faintest inkling of what that means and deftly ignores it.
 "Mmm."
 "Any idea what we're doing after that?"
 Kul nodded. "Anything about the whole 'being attacked' bit? Should we go after them too?" Kul pulled his armor back on.
 "I guess the fancy wording was too much for you. Yeah, we're going to go after them. But we have to be sneaks about it. That's where desil comes in."
 * Jack peeks over Raza's shoulder. "...Doesn't look like it. He doesn't say anyth- oh, nevermind."
 (mission impossible theme, go!)
 (Desil)
 "Depends on where it is. I'm good at cities and buildings. Not so in the wilderness."
 Kul nodded. "Well, i'm good in the wilderness."
 "That's why you were hired, I'm assuming. And of course just handle publicity and the press to me. A well-placed rumor can seriously hurt Altercation's rep."
 "Surviving, maybe. You're too big to be much good, especially in the open. Which is what most wilderness tends to be..."
 "That's why city sneaking's a lot easier."
 Kul grinned darkly. "Heh...foul-languaged rumors. I'm good at that too."
  So... we're just gonna say bad things about 'em?
 "Raza would be good at looking like a gossip. You don't look like one by any stretch of the imagination, Kul."
 "Daddy suggests we promote around the Hole as well. And no, we can't be seen doing that. We're the faces the public has to recognize. We can hire mercenaries and others to do that."
 "Desil...I survived alone in the wilderness. The cities are my flaw. I'm good in the open." None of them could argue that. It was true.
 "There's a difference between killing whatever sees you and not being seen..."
 "There are things I can't kill Desil. Even I needed to run. Or use my knowledge of the beasts to get by."
  Hiring people who won't step out of line. I've got connections enough for that.
 "So after the Palestras," Raza continues, trying to get them back on topic, "We'll go to the Hole. Is there a path through there Kul that will take us to the Zephyr mines?"
 "Good, you and Jack are officially on the payroll, by the way."
 * Mitzu grins. "Cash is good; thanks."
 ((At least, I hope so :P.))
 (Consider it retconned!)
 (because I'm easy like that.)
 "Yes. But...it's a bit rough." Kul thought about the Zephyr Mines and the paths there.
 !roll d100
 Kulvier - d100: 59 ( Total: 59 )
 (Failed)
 (Rolled on Depth Lure for any paths)
 (Highest you can have at this point is 56, so...)
 * There aren't many obvious paths *underground* from Hole to the Zephyr, and fewer still that are safe for normal travel. But you could always go above ground.
 "How rough? I'm expecting a little challenge. We have to appeal to the Delvers afterall."
 "Let me think. I might have seen a map to there once..." (Lore: Maps. It's at 50)
 !roll 1d100
 "...I can't recall any at the moment. But there may be above ground routes. There ARE, however, some beasts that will be a bit of a challenge."
 Estrain - 1d100: 6 ( Total: 6 )
 (...)
 (wow)
 * Desil instantly remembers every map on the Site. Also, underground - if you really wanna, you can do it, but it's kinda twisty and dangerous. Think Indiana Jones plus random encounters.
 (Can I please get my char sheet?)
* Estrain grabs a piece of paper and a charcoal pencil from his pack - his old mapping gear. "Give me a second."
 "I remember seeing one about there..."
 (Gimme a sec or two on the sheets.)
 (k, thanks)
* Estrain takes about five minutes to sketch a map or two from memory, using a table inside the inn. "It's a bit rough, but... This is as much as I remember."
 Kul nodded, seeming to remember. "Looks familiar. Probably."
 ((while you're doing that, I'll look at the site. I'm thinking we can plan to get to Zephyr, Palistra Ferratus and the Hole then to the Palestra Magus in time for their magic fest :P))
 (the three on the site are now as they are in my inbox. Feel free to check.)
 (abotu to add Ladis)
 thanks
 (Still reads lvl 2 to me.)
 (did you click the link?)
 (Raza's is up, and Kul's and Estrain's didn't change
 (Just cleared my cache, checking
 (Yes Damia, I clicked it.)
 (Yep, that's the problem.)
 (Clear your cache or your Temporary Internet Files, whatever your browser calls it)
 (And EK? If you have some time, PLEASE format Ladis's sheet some. ;.;)
 ((It still has her as a Black Caller)
 (Yeah, just saw that.)
 (I just put the latest ones I had in my inbox up. I'll check said inbox again.)
 (I'll note that the best I have are from mid-February.)
 (and I don't have a sheet of Raza as Summoner.)
 ((Hmmm, ok then))
 (Nor of Kul as Magic Knight.)
 (I emptied cashe, but still not reading updated.)
 (Nor of Desil as Secret Agent 006.9 . >.>)
 (Yeah, unfortunately, it exploded the computer I had that uploaded on)
 ((Kul's is updated))
 (It was too awesome for this world)
 (Aw.)
 (Oh, right then. Nevermind.)
 (Still reads lvl 2)
 (DAmia, can you copy/paste e-mail it to me please?)
 (Like I said)
 (Clear your cache or temporary internet files)
 (It's loading the old one from your cache.)
 (Crtl+F5.)
 (I already did. Or did you miss me saying that I did.)
 (Silly Cache.)
 (Old files are for the Internet Archive!)
 ((give it some time Gale. Back to the game!!)
 (Indeed. I've lost my place.)
 Kul was ready to leave. He waited outside the Inn. "Well, lets go. Daylight's wasting.
  Are we leaving Eric with the bill for this place?
 "What's the bill?"
 "Why not charge it to your father as a business expense?"
  Plenty. The damage done to the floors alone from you kids is probably worth more than the damn wood itself.
 Kul looked at Raza.
 "Because I don't want my dad on my tail. So uh, yeah. We'll let Eric handle it."
 "What damage? We only broke a head board."
  My apartment is *right under* your rooms. Care to explain the drywall covering my stove?
 Kul grinned and smirked. "Mitzu gives me a work out. What can I say?"
  So... We've got a business card or something we can give him, right? Because I'm not in the mood for random violence.
* Raza digs into her purse and hands the innkeeper Eric's card. "He'll handle all the fees."
 * RandomInnKeeper takes the card. "He damn well better."
 "Heh. He can't exactly refuse."
 * RandomInnKeeper nods. "Good. Now get outta here before you break something else or I change my mind."
 Kul slung his pack over his shoulder and left. "Well...another long travel ahead of us. You think we'll ever come across any more of those sealed doors?"
* Raza shrugs. "Who knows? Why do you want to see another one?"
 "Harder ones to unlock are more likely to contain valuable things, I'd assume."
 "Then again, it wouldn't surprise me if someone made one extremely hard to open just to laugh when others tried to open it.
 (Zelda senses... tingling! Must solve block puzzle!)
 Kul shook his head. "No...it... It's odd. I felt good when we all had to work together to open the door. We all connected."
 (I hate block puzzles thank to Lufia II: Rise of the Sinistrals.)
 "Which reminds me, I need to see what those scientists found out about that orb."
 (fscking continuity)
 (Q: scientists were... here in Eastern Tip? Back at the Hole?)
 (Tip)
 (At the Lial center.)
 (I think back at the hole, but damned if I've a good me- fsck, right, them.)
 (We gave it to them before the OMG SHOPPING SPREE)
 (It was at the Hole)
 (You're right!!)
 (Lol)
 (so, wait, the scientists were at the hole? I rememebr you found the thing at the Hole, yeah.)
 (Okay. back to typing!)
 * During a quick stop-off at the Lial Emporium, the scientists note that, while they haven't had much time to study it, the orb seems to contain a very powerful Fire spell - greater than Firaga - designed and manipulated not for damaging things, but to last a very, very long time. It seems to have lasted nigh-on forever, and doesn't look like it'll stop anytime soon... But no real hard data has yet emerged.
 "I wonder. Could you use that as a magical focus?"
 "To strengthen fire spells, maybe?"
 "Interresting. But...if there are orbs like that for fire, are there others to corresponding elements?"
 "Any really powerful mage could probably make them, and I don't think they're extremely rare..."
  *shrug* No idea. But whoever did this could concievably do it with any element they so chose.
  Maybe so, but when we say 'old' we don't mean 'old like you or I'. We mean 'old like rock old'.
 "So yeah, I'd expect there would be able two to three of those fire orbs in the world," Estrain says, nodding at the orb.
 "We'll definately need to look into that. Send word to the Palestra Ferratus if anything new developes."
 (what would they do, bat it around and see if it goes boom?)
 ( Throw the fire orb, BB! *whack* It's going, going, go- *KABOOM*)
 (Throw it at the outside of Altercations, Inc's headquarters and THEN see if it goes boom. >.>)
 (If not, pick it up and try again!)
 ( Stop throwing that thermonuclear device agsint my window!)
 (anyhow, I think you meant Palestra Magus.)
 (They handle things that go poof, whoosh or boom. Ferratus handles things that go wham, thud or stabbity.)
 (I assumed she meant Ferratus because we were going there first)
 (But who knows)
 (Yeah, but they're heading for Ferratus, so it'd go directly to her))
 ((Ooooooo.....must visit Ferratus.)
 (Yeah)
 ((Sending my updated sheet, EK))
 (whoo!)
 (yeah, figured you'd like it. It's like Hogwarts, but without the magic and with more swords.)
 (and no crazy stairs that move around. Just botomless pits to hop over.)
 ((Yay them!!))
 (Sounds like Kul's playground.
 ((So, w/piut further ado, let's get to ridin'))
 (I'm hurt that there's no Palestra Sneakius. :P)
 (w/out)
 (I feel abandoned. ;.;)
 (Hey, is it okay if I BBIAB - as in, ten minutes? I wanna get some ice cream, I've got a gift card, and they close at 10 o'clock my time.)
 (call it a break/olympic turn of walking/riding.)
 (Or you could call it munchy break)
 (muchy break it is! TO THE FRIDGE and/or ICE CREAM STORE!)
* EK|GM is now known as EK|GM|BBIAB
 ((That's a good idear))
 (Burp. ^_^ Mmmmm, steak.)
 ((It's what's for dinner. Quite literally.))
 (Yup. ^_^ With mushrooms, mashed potatoes, andgreen beans.
 (Tired. Worked all day on something. Getting some sleep. Sorry for bailing, but we started later than I expected.)
* Estrain has quit IRC (Quit: )
* EK|GM|BBIAB is now known as ElementalKnight
 I'm back.
 With cookies & Cream.
 And plastic spoons by the fistful.
 But no Desil and no Ladis...
 o_o
 Hmmm....where's Est?
 (He got tired and left)
* ElementalKnight points up. He went poof.
 (Did you get my PM?)
 havn't checked.
 yeah, got it.
 I'll update once the ice cream's gone. ^_^
 So...is that game for the night?
 (Okay. I wouldn't pt it on the site cuz I'm not sure how accurate it is. But it was just in case you needed it for something. I'll send the real one to you next Sunday when I'm back home.)
 'k.
 (So I guess it's up to you to decide what we're gonna do.)
 *blink* o_o
 *blink* me?
 I thought it'd died - we're half-staffed and all.
 true. well are we meeting next week?
 Next week being easter, nah.
 Week after.
 ^_~;;; My family will have me drunk as hell next week
* Retrieving #terranotos modes...
 My cousins are cruel to me.
 celebrate the ressurection of Christ by being drunk. Right :P
* ElementalKnight changes topic to 'http://www.geocities.com/elemental_knight1/terranotos/ | Current Status: Love and Revenge | Next Game: Sunday, April 3rd, 7 PM. Assuming the GM doesn't forget again. >.>'
 What do you think he did when he realized he wasn't dead yet?
 'tis the nature of humanity to put all sorts of harmful stuff into ourselves after realizing how beautiful life really is.
 Not really.
 ah
 But cousins just like to pin me down and force me to drink cause I get all funny and stuff.
 Lotsa people smoke after sex.
 Action heroes get drunk after saving the world.
 I rest my case.
 lol
 o_o
 ^_^ I sing when I'm drunk.
 that's gotta be painful
 It's a cyclical thing.
 ok, I'm off to bond w/ my siblings. see ya guys in 2 weeks
 cool. Have fun!
* Raza is now known as Moryssa
* Moryssa has quit IRC (Quit: )
 As such, I too, am out.
