You have just entered room "Amaryllis New
Dawen."
popichuelo76: omg chrome=sopko
SirAlextheFirst: Heh.
Adm H Sopko: omg popi = ned flanders
popichuelo76: well how didly owdy to you too
SirAlextheFirst: Hey! Flanders is cool!
Chromeus18 has entered the room.
Chromeus18: back, on AIM
Adm H Sopko: ...
Adm H Sopko: Flanders... cool...
Adm H Sopko: It's ironic that the only two not
here are Adora and Gil
AndrewRogue: Does Adora still come. I
haven't seen her in.. uh, long time
AndrewRogue: *?
Adm H Sopko: Of course. Jac wouldn't survive
without sweet lovin
Adm H Sopko: ::Rimshot::
AndrewRogue: *pitying chuckle*
Adm H Sopko: Know something scary?
Chromeus18 has left the room.
AndrewRogue: No... What?
Chromeus18 has entered the room.
Chromeus18: ok i'm back
Adm H Sopko: I've progressed to the point
where in my dream I saw an anime version of
another dream I had playing on the TV
AndrewRogue: ...
Chromeus18: stupid net
SirAlextheFirst: o_O
Chromeus18: the fact that i'm sick and on cold
medicine doesn't help any
Adm H Sopko: My dream self was watching it
like... "Where have I seen this one before? I
can't remember the name..." I just now
realized it was another dream I had
Adm H Sopko: It's one of my favorites too.
Nice and action packed. I've had it twice<G>
Chromeus18: *puts on Jerry suit*
SirAlextheFirst: In my dream last night, I got
yelled at for cheating at Battleship.
SirAlextheFirst: But I didn't know I was
cheating.
Chromeus18: you can't cheat at BS unless
you're looking at the other person's board
Adm H Sopko: You have to understand
somethign about my dreams... I have recurring
dreams, dreams the continue right where they
left off, recurring characters, and much much
more
Adm H Sopko: that continue even
AndrewRogue: Or you have PSYCHIC
POWERS! <_<
SirAlextheFirst: I honestly thought that my
battleship could OHKO the other guy's
sub!@
Adm H Sopko: I don't doubt it... they're
latent<G>
Chromeus18: OMG, you sunk my tugboat!
AndrewRogue: ^_^ LOL
Adm H Sopko: I often find myself thinking of
stuff right before they happen
Chromeus18: my brothers and i called the 2
space boat the tugboat
popichuelo76: im here...really >.>
AndrewRogue: Well so do I. But its usually
related to those "Oh shit I'm screwed" things
Chromeus18: so what did i miss saturday
night?
SirAlextheFirst: So, tell me when y'all want to
start.
Adm H Sopko: Ditto, but an example of mine.
I'm walking on the backraod at my college
one day, and for no reason whatsoever, I start
thinking of deer. I take about 10 steps and
BAM! 3 deer cross the path
Adm H Sopko: backroad even
AndrewRogue: Now would be great. Just
finished another level on Dynasty Warriors
^_~
Chromeus18: what happened saturday
night?
AndrewRogue: Something happened Saturday
night?
SirAlextheFirst: Nothing.
Chromeus18: oh... then i'm ready whenever
SirAlextheFirst: Saturday nights are for when I
go back to school.
AndrewRogue: Oh, by the way, are we playing
on Fridays or Saturdays?
Chromeus18: saturday nights may be a bit
difficult for a while for me
Adm H Sopko: Ah
SirAlextheFirst: RIght now, we're playing
whenever.
SirAlextheFirst: When I go back to school,
Monday and Saturday nights.
AndrewRogue: Ah, okay.
AndrewRogue: *guesses its convenient he's
always on the net at night*
SirAlextheFirst: Quite so.
SirAlextheFirst: The best RPing happens after
2 AM.
Chromeus18: i'll try to make saturday
nights, i might be late
AndrewRogue: And currently my Mom ans
Sister are in Utah, so the house is all mine ^_^
Adm H Sopko: Let us begin
Chromeus18: yes, lets
Chromeus18: look alive Nash!
SirAlextheFirst: Argh.
Adm H Sopko: ::Kicks Hunter::
SirAlextheFirst: I may have to do some work
for my parents.
AndrewRogue: *pokes Arianna*
Adm H Sopko: ::Cries::
SirAlextheFirst: Or maybe not.
SirAlextheFirst: We shall
SirAlextheFirst: ~~~~~ BEGIN ~~~~
SirAlextheFirst: For now anyways.
Chromeus18: recap to the max?
popichuelo76: im here
popichuelo76: we talked to throkk
popichuelo76: bickered
SirAlextheFirst: RECAP:
popichuelo76: talked to throkk more
popichuelo76: now headed back to asgard
SirAlextheFirst: A fter fighting another group of
Hummers, the party met with Lady Glasya
and Sir Throkk at last.
Adm H Sopko: Gogo Hummer Rangers
Chromeus18: we need those armors
identified :P
SirAlextheFirst: The origin of the Hummers
was discussed, and Hunter (the character)
was criticized a bit for putting loyalty to his
company over his companions.
Adm H Sopko: Don't forget the picture
Chromeus18: nothing important was wrought
from the talk though, it seems
SirAlextheFirst: Some bits of information were
gained.
Adm H Sopko: ... There was much. For me at
least... I wonder if the girl was a reincarnation
of Lauren<G>
SirAlextheFirst: Throkk doesn't know too
much more about the Hummers and the cult
they seem tied to, save that it's nearly
omnipresent across the world.
Chromeus18: the whole thing about the girl,
we'd best find who was the owner of that
picture
SirAlextheFirst: (or if he did, he's not telling.)
Adm H Sopko: The ressurected
Lauren!!!!!11111oneoneone
SirAlextheFirst: The picture found in the odd
metal room, and the amnesiac girl, were
identified as looking just like Lauren, who was
apparently Nellix's dead paramour.
Chromeus18: so are we still in Throkk's
presence? or shafted back down to
reality?
Adm H Sopko: Throkk's presence hopefully.
Adm H Sopko: I want to apologize
Adm H Sopko: To them. Not Jerry =-P
SirAlextheFirst: The Hunter creatures were
created by Nellix.
SirAlextheFirst: That's about all that's new.
Adm H Sopko: Thank you, Alex<G>
SirAlextheFirst: Man. Reminds me of a soap
opera. But there's nothing wrong with
insanity.
Chromeus18: what in the hell does <G>
mean?!?
AndrewRogue: <Grin>
popichuelo76: grin
popichuelo76: yeah
Chromeus18: ok, i thought so
Chromeus18: i never thought Soppy the
grinning type though
Adm H Sopko: It's an archaic term... about 10
years ago
SirAlextheFirst: We return as Sir Throkk is
preparing to shove you all out the door.
Chromeus18: anyways, carry on
AndrewRogue: (And now, back to as Amaryllis
Turns <_<)
Adm H Sopko: Predates LOL
Adm H Sopko: And the faces
Chromeus18: (my town didn't get internet
until 99, forgive my ignorance)
Adm H Sopko: You didn't have phone lines?
Chromeus18: (we had no providers)
Adm H Sopko: Ah
Chromeus18: (a town of 3500 doesn't
exactly warrant need for internet)
AndrewRogue: *bows deeply towards Throkk
and Glysa* *somewhat nervously* "Thank
you for taking so much of your time to assist
us, uh, Mister Throkk and Miss Glysa."
popichuelo76: ( my village of 2000 has had net
since like 94
popichuelo76: )
Chromeus18: (you aren't in tennessee :P)
Sarcazmo47 has entered the room.
Adm H Sopko: ::Hunter stands, nodding
towards Throkk:: "Thank you. Your
information will definately help us. And sorry
about that argument. I'm sure it's not
something you wanted to see."
Chromeus18: *stands* "Thank you for
your knowledge, Sir Throkk and Lady
Glasya... Wish us well in dealing with the
problems that foul our world!"
SirAlextheFirst: Throkk merely laughs, and
grins, and you are reminded of his saying
about killing comerades.
Chromeus18: *bows deeply*
popichuelo76: *offers a handshake to Throkk*
"Its nice to meet someone that you have been
told is a hero since childhood, maybe a little
inspiring" *winks*
AndrewRogue: *nods in enthusiastic
agreement*
SirAlextheFirst: Throkk shakes Jerriford's
hand mightily.
*OnlineHost*: SirAlextheFirst rolled 1 2-sided
die: 2
Adm H Sopko: ::Returns Throkk's smile,
walking over to Glasya, who he was watching
bang her head on the table:: "I'd offer you ice
or something... I felt like doing that exact thing
during that whole argument..."
SirAlextheFirst: Jerry takes two subdual
damage from it.
Chromeus18: 2 subdual damage from the
squeeze? :P
Chromeus18: how did i know :P
SirAlextheFirst: Glasya, on the other hand,
continues softly banging her head.
Chromeus18: "Oomph, yer every bit as
strong as has been told, Sir Throkk!"
Adm H Sopko: She did stop, before<G>
Chromeus18: *rubs his swollen hand a bit*
SirAlextheFirst: Yes, she stopped. Started
again, though.
popichuelo76: (uhh, i was the one who offered
the handshake >.>)
Adm H Sopko: ::Smirks:: "Anyway, I guess I'll
just say I'm sorry for all that... much stupidity
was wrought by both sides..."
SirAlextheFirst: Throkk then turns to Nash,
and looks him over.
Chromeus18: *approaches the door, ready
whenever his comrades are*
SirAlextheFirst: "Sirrah, you take care, now."
AndrewRogue: *bows deeply one final time,
and turns to join Jerry, but nearly tumbles as
she trips over her own feet...*
Chromeus18: (i think you can still walk
normally with a low dex, Arianna :P)
*OnlineHost*: SirAlextheFirst rolled 1
20-sided die: 10
Adm H Sopko: ::Turns and catches Aria as she
stumbles, laughing a bit:: "We really need to
teach you some balance"
SirAlextheFirst: "Be careful, Mr. Nash."
popichuelo76: "Oh, careful wont get me
anywhere, i would think you know that"
*smirks*
AndrewRogue: (the poor gal's excited. I mean,
these are the people she idolized for all 13 or
so years.) "*embarassedly* "Thank you
Hunter..."
Adm H Sopko: ((SEE, ALEX! I HAVE
NEVER SMIRKED! It's Gil and popi!)
popichuelo76: ( i do it quite often )
SirAlextheFirst: "That's not what I mean."
Chromeus18: give him a squeeze, Throkk!
Adm H Sopko: ::Sets Aria up straight and smile::
"Think nothing of it... though I wish I knew
why Glasya was banging her head on the table
this time..."
popichuelo76: "Hmm, i guess i'll think on that
one"
SirAlextheFirst: "Do so." Throkk regards
Nash with narrow eyes, then smiles to the rest
of you.
AndrewRogue: *a slight, awkward chuckle*
"Probably disappointed we're still here."
SirAlextheFirst: "Ye're going to Asgard now,
then?"
popichuelo76: ( guess he knows im a teef )
Adm H Sopko: "Yes."
Chromeus18: "Tis our plan, Sir Throkk.
We can prepare ourselves there, and
probably learn more than we would in this
backwoods town."
AndrewRogue: *nods affirmatively*
popichuelo76: ( everytime i see throkk im
thinking i should be writing a response >.> )
SirAlextheFirst: "Good luck to ye, then.
Glasya, won't you send these fine folk on their
way? And stop hurting your fair head?"
popichuelo76: ( im confused with glasya, is that
our dm just not knowing what to do with her?
)
SirAlextheFirst: Glasya gets up, and opens the
door, bowing to you all.
Adm H Sopko: ::Still curious of why she was
doing that, he tries to shrug it off as he readies
to leave::
AndrewRogue: *a final bow as she moves to
exit*
Chromeus18: *is prepared, and leaves a
bow for her as he steps through the door*
Adm H Sopko: ::Simply walks out, no bow::
popichuelo76: *nods as he walks out*
SirAlextheFirst: As you walk out, the scenery
ripples and changes, and you find yourselves
in front of the Temple of Tiyreal in Asgard,
once more.
SirAlextheFirst: And now a short intermission.
popichuelo76: k
Adm H Sopko: ::Plays the Monty Python
intermission music::
SirAlextheFirst: Everybody, this here's my
friend Kirk.
Sarcazmo47: Yarr!
AndrewRogue: Hi! *waves girlishly*
SirAlextheFirst: I'd appreciate it if for clarity's
sake you all could introduce yourselves and
the characters you're playing, and if someone
could try and send him the world document I
made at the beginning of all this.
Sarcazmo47: No need to get suspicious or
anything.
popichuelo76: ok, i'll go
Chromeus18: I'm Jerriford Stullbin, a cleric
in the service of the Lawful Good god
Tiyrael. I'm a dwarf, and somewhat
stubborn, but a jolly fellow all the same.
AndrewRogue: *doesn't have the document on
this computer* Heya. The name's Andrew
and I'm the player of Arianna, or, as she
perfers, Aria. Since she was a teensy girl, she
became obsessed with the idea of becoming a
hero.
popichuelo76: I'm nash, a thief, I was the
nephew of a former party member named
Queaklain. Do things at my own leisure and
only if i wish to. Not a lot of his past is
revealed to the party other than he is
Queaklain's nephew and
popichuelo76: that he killed his father
Adm H Sopko: My name is Kevin Sopko. I
play Hunter Sopko, the defacto leader as
people tell me. He met Gabriel in person, is a
high ranking member of the Yarovan trade
organization and currently has the highest kill
count<G>
Sarcazmo47: Are we all fighters here, then,
except for Nash there?
popichuelo76: im a rogue, yes
Adm H Sopko: Ranger here
Chromeus18: i'm a cleric
AndrewRogue: Straight Fighter
Sarcazmo47: Sounds like a well rounded group.
Nice to meet you all.
SirAlextheFirst: Our other party members,
who are currently present in llama form, are
Jacynth the Ranger and Adora his Paladin
Girlfriend.
Sarcazmo47: Except, uh, those of you whom
I've met before, in which case nice you meet
you again. Yeah.
Chromeus18: i'll send him the doc once i get
it off my email
Chromeus18: and it's sending
Sarcazmo47: Yummy.
Chromeus18: i can make that map beautiful
if you want Alex, just add spots where you
want mountains and rivers :P
Chromeus18: and forests, for completions
sake
AndrewRogue: Hey Chrome, could you send it
my way too? That way I can finally have it on
the CPU I should be using the most <_<
SirAlextheFirst: I shall do that someday, when
I have it handy.
Chromeus18: if nothing else, i think i've
mastered the art of making an overworld
map
Chromeus18: but anyways.... are we back at
the ruins now?
AndrewRogue: What the hell do I need to open
that thing in to see the map? >_<
Adm H Sopko: word
AndrewRogue: Yay! Thanks ^_^
Adm H Sopko: What should I buy with the $40
gift certificate to EB my girlfriend gave me for
X-mas?
Adm H Sopko: I was thinking either Armored
Core 3 or Silent Line...
Sarcazmo47: Knights Of The Old Republic!
Chromeus18: buy her something
Adm H Sopko: No X-Box
Adm H Sopko: I did
Sarcazmo47: It's for PC, now.
Chromeus18: that'll solve your virginity
problem :P
AndrewRogue: Most definitely one of the
Armored Cores.
Chromeus18: ack, wrong person
Chromeus18: i hate AIM
Adm H Sopko: I got her a $30 gift certificate to
Suncoast, and $20 to Victoria's Secret
Adm H Sopko: And I don't have a virginity
problem
AndrewRogue: *does* <_<
Chromeus18: yeah, that was directed to
Andrew
Sarcazmo47: Knights Of The Old Republic for
PC, fool!
Chromeus18: who i thought asked that at
first
Chromeus18: anyways... back to D&D!
popichuelo76: arent we on intermission?
SirAlextheFirst: *gets parents out of hair*
SirAlextheFirst: *gets windows closed*
AndrewRogue: Heh. I wish I could ask that.
And, yep, if we're ready, let's end the
intermission.
Chromeus18: yes we are, but i'd rather
continue on
SirAlextheFirst: *goes to get food*
Chromeus18: *grabs another MD*
Chromeus18: caffeine + sleep inducing cold
medicine = fun
SirAlextheFirst: All righty then.
SirAlextheFirst: ~~~~CONTINUE~~~~~
Chromeus18: you got food that fast?
popichuelo76: "Well, thats sure an efficient way
to travel"
SirAlextheFirst: Fridge -> Bowl of M&M's ->
Back.
Chromeus18: i see!
SirAlextheFirst: The streets here are empty.
Adm H Sopko: ::Blinks:: ~Father Joe?~
Chromeus18: are we back at Sithicus ruins?
SirAlextheFirst: (You're back in Asgard.)
Chromeus18: (i thought so)
AndrewRogue: (back in half a second, food
and drink sound good)
Chromeus18: what time is it?
SirAlextheFirst: Nobody answers your mental
call.
SirAlextheFirst: Time? About 3 in the
afternoon./
Adm H Sopko: "This is... quite odd."
Chromeus18: "Hmmm..."
Chromeus18: "Give me a moment..."
popichuelo76: "Well, im going to go check out
the town, anyone want to come with?"
AndrewRogue: "Ah, shouldn't there be people
here?"
Chromeus18: "Is anyone still hurt from
those hummers?"
Adm H Sopko: "No. Glasya healed us all"
Chromeus18: (did she?)
SirAlextheFirst: (Yes, she did.)
Chromeus18: (oh, my bad)
Chromeus18: "I suggest we head for the
Temple of Tiyrael first, maybe this armor
can give insight into the Hummers we're
dealing with."
popichuelo76: "You guys have fun with that, im
going to kick back while we have the chance"
Adm H Sopko: "Perhaps. And I might suggest a
stopoff at the Temple of Gabriel as well.
Father Joe isn't answering my calls and it's
quite odd."
AndrewRogue: "Father Joe?"
Chromeus18: "Suit yerself, Nash. Try not
to stray too far though, lad.."
Adm H Sopko: "Oh yes... you've never met
him. He is the head of the Temple of Gabriel
here in Asgard, and the one who gave us
these circlets"
popichuelo76: "Sure, when and where shall we
all meet up?"
Chromeus18: "How about the Shining Horse
Inn?"
AndrewRogue: "Ah..."
Chromeus18: (the inn that i chose the name
of!)
popichuelo76: "Sure, i'll be there around
sundown"
Adm H Sopko: "So we are splitting up?
Adm H Sopko: "
Chromeus18: "Perfect. Dunna do anything
Tiyrael would frown upon, lad"
popichuelo76: "I was intending so"
popichuelo76: "Ah, well, no promises" *winks*
Chromeus18: *gives Nash a hearty slap on
the back*
AndrewRogue: "Well, I wouldn't mind doing
something with these armors..." *smile*
Chromeus18: "Well, let's head to the House
then!"
Chromeus18: *heads off towards the temple
of Tiyrael*
popichuelo76: (andrew, chars name?)
AndrewRogue: (Arianna or Aria, whichever
you perfer)
popichuelo76: "You can come with me Aria, i
might head to the local vendor anyways"
Chromeus18: "Errr... well.. Ye should really
come with us, lass. But it's yer choice."
Chromeus18: Us is now Hunter and Jerry
Chromeus18: since Gil is AWOL
SirAlextheFirst: So who's going where?
AndrewRogue: "I can put up with them a bit
longer. I'll go with you two."
popichuelo76: (cant put up with me? *sniff* )
Chromeus18: I'm going to the temple of
Tiyrael, i think Hunter's coming with me
Chromeus18: and Arianna
Chromeus18: then we head towards the
temple of Gabriel
Chromeus18: is that right?
Adm H Sopko: Yep
SirAlextheFirst: Right. We'll do Nash first,
then.
Chromeus18: gogo Nash
popichuelo76: okay, im going to try and find
people
AndrewRogue: *grabs popcorn and a drink*
popichuelo76: a large amount of them
Chromeus18: (*grabs one of those 3 lb bags
of chips, god i love them*)
SirAlextheFirst: People. Okay. How are you
going about this?
popichuelo76: Strolling around town?
popichuelo76: hitting the spots that are usually
populated
popichuelo76: like the market district
SirAlextheFirst: Ah. There are people in the
markets, and some of the shops are open.
Everyone avoids walking near everyone else,
especially you, since you're wandering so
brazenly,.
popichuelo76: aw shucks
popichuelo76: this is no good for a thief
AndrewRogue: (hmm, GameFAQs keeps
sending me to porn sites)
Chromeus18: don't look so thiefish :P
Chromeus18: ( www.zdnet.com download
ad-aware and run it)
popichuelo76: I'll......
popichuelo76: hmm, what are some of the hot
spots in asgard?
popichuelo76: things a rogue would be
interested in
SirAlextheFirst: .... it's Asgard. The goody
goody, ultra-safe, paladin city.
popichuelo76: gah, no bad part of town?
SirAlextheFirst: There are no red light districts,
no black markets, and no dens of iniquity.
Chromeus18: (would say something, but
won't)
Chromeus18: the best you'll probably find is
a pub
popichuelo76: alright then, lets assume i just
float around town while the party does things
popichuelo76: i was going to work on
pickpocketing skills
popichuelo76: but meh
SirAlextheFirst: Not much chance of that.
Everybody is jumpy and cautious today.
SirAlextheFirst: Roll me a Spot check, though.
popichuelo76: oh, is that aparrent?
*OnlineHost*: popichuelo76 rolled 1 20-sided
die: 15
Chromeus18: i would completely RP t hat
popichuelo76: 21
popichuelo76: if i can notice they seem jumpier
than usual, id like to
SirAlextheFirst: As you walk past one jewelry
seller's booth, which is doing not a whit of
business today, the proprieter whirls around
and goes inside upon seeing you. Quite the
oddest thing you've seen anyone do.
popichuelo76: O_o
popichuelo76: so the counter is unattended?
SirAlextheFirst: Yes, yes it is.
popichuelo76: *Looks around for anyone
paying any attention at all to him*
SirAlextheFirst: Another Spot check, please.
*OnlineHost*: popichuelo76 rolled 1 20-sided
die: 6
popichuelo76: 12
popichuelo76: spot is an INT thing, right?
Chromeus18: yep
popichuelo76: make that 15 then
Sarcazmo47: WIS, actually.
popichuelo76: err
popichuelo76: then it is 12
AndrewRogue: (Spot WIS Search INT)
Chromeus18: wait yeah, spot is wis
Chromeus18: search is int
Chromeus18: i mess those two up
SirAlextheFirst: Heh. There are a couple of
people a block away, but they don't seem to
be watching you. You see nobody else
around.
Chromeus18: nevermind me
popichuelo76: *uses move silently as he walks
past the stand to slip a couple of the rings onto
his hands and a necklace in his hand and
continues walking by, as if nothing occured*
popichuelo76: move silently so i dont bump the
table or the jewelry makes noise
SirAlextheFirst: Roll it. And Pickpocket for
the jacking of stuff.
*OnlineHost*: popichuelo76 rolled 1 20-sided
die: 20
popichuelo76: wow O_o
popichuelo76: 39 on move silent =p
*OnlineHost*: popichuelo76 rolled 1 20-sided
die: 18
popichuelo76: heh
Chromeus18: Locke Cole lives within you!
popichuelo76: 27 on pick pocket
AndrewRogue: (0_o Damn. Shoulda taken the
merchant's clothes. Probably a bit tight, but
the right price)
SirAlextheFirst: Right. You swipe the rings
and necklace easily enough.
popichuelo76: *slips the things into his pouch as
he walks away and ducks into an alley*
popichuelo76: *checks his goods for a second,
secures them, and then proceeds back into the
street*
SirAlextheFirst: In your chosen alley, two
beefy-looking men are pinning another man to
a wall, and rifling his pockets.
SirAlextheFirst: Can I have a Move Silently?
*OnlineHost*: SirAlextheFirst rolled 1
20-sided die: 15
*OnlineHost*: popichuelo76 rolled 1 20-sided
die: 6
popichuelo76: ow
popichuelo76: 15
SirAlextheFirst: Both of the strongmen look
towards you as you turn the corner.
AndrewRogue: (Hey, at least you haven't had a
NEGATIVE move silently check)
popichuelo76: "Greetings gentlemen"
SirAlextheFirst: What do you do?
popichuelo76: speak with them, of course
SirAlextheFirst: One speaks. "Keep on
walkin, there, bud."
popichuelo76: whats the guy they are messing
with look like?
SirAlextheFirst: The apparent victim is tall,
thin, and very, very pale.
SirAlextheFirst: His arms remind you of
toothpicks.
popichuelo76: "Say...didnt your mothers teach
you not to pick on people smaller than you?"
SirAlextheFirst: By his feet lies a "Down with
the Insane King" sign, such as you saw people
holding last time you were here.
popichuelo76: (okay, i have to save this guy
now. Down with the man! )
SirAlextheFirst: The other beefy dude growls,
"No. They taught us not to mess with people
bigger than us. Maybe you oughta learn that,
too."
Chromeus18: just... don't die popi -_-
popichuelo76: "Ah, well you see MY mother
taught me that people larger than me were
usually muscleheaded bufoons, whom couldnt
find their way out of a room with all doors"
AndrewRogue: (0_o *tries to picture that*)
Sarcazmo47: ((Why not just say "You guys are
bitches, let's fight?" and get it out of the way?
:-P))
popichuelo76: ( because, i have to keep it all
nash-like )
SirAlextheFirst: At this, the first man releases
his victim, who slumps to the ground, and the
other one throws his hands up and whispers
some arcane phrases. Initiative.
Chromeus18: (he's Nash-in Hood! he steals
from the rich and gives to himself!)
*OnlineHost*: SirAlextheFirst rolled 2
20-sided dice: 5 11
*OnlineHost*: popichuelo76 rolled 1 20-sided
die: 12
popichuelo76: 16
SirAlextheFirst: You react first.
popichuelo76: ( anyone know where i can find
the exact use for items? )

Chromeus18: (SRD has most items)
popichuelo76: ( k, just a second then )
popichuelo76: ( ick, cant find it, anyone know
the exact uses for thunderstones?)
AndrewRogue: Hang on a sec and I can look it
up)
SirAlextheFirst: You throw them, and
everyone in the blast radius makes a fort save
or is deafened.
popichuelo76: only deffened? not stunned at all?
SirAlextheFirst: Not sure. Look it up.
popichuelo76: k, im trying to find it
AndrewRogue: (Nope, only deafened)
popichuelo76: what are they guys wearing?
popichuelo76: and is their anything in the alley?
SirAlextheFirst: Leather vests. And, no, the
alley is exquisitely clean.
popichuelo76: how far apart are they?
SirAlextheFirst: 5 feet.
Chromeus18: (go for the one casting)
popichuelo76: yeh
popichuelo76: *Draws his rapier and dagger,
and charges the large man who is chanting
incantations*

SirAlextheFirst: Yep.
*OnlineHost*: SirAlextheFirst rolled 1
20-sided die: 8
Chromeus18: 3 DC takes a 1 to fail
SirAlextheFirst: I believe it's 10 + damage,
actually.
SirAlextheFirst: No, I'm wrong.
AndrewRogue: (That's what I thought...)
SirAlextheFirst: Or am I?
Chromeus18: it's damage
Chromeus18: i think
AndrewRogue: (Looking it up)
Chromeus18: it's not important right now
though
popichuelo76: it could be =p
popichuelo76: if he didnt pass 13 on it
AndrewRogue: 10+damage dealt
SirAlextheFirst: Ah well. Either way, he ducks
your rapier and ignores the dagger in his arm,
but stops his chanting, draws a dagger of his
own, and tries to stick you with it.
*OnlineHost*: SirAlextheFirst rolled 1
20-sided die: 4
SirAlextheFirst: It is a very poor attempt.
Chromeus18: of course, he has a dagger in
his arm :P
Chromeus18: gogo
SirAlextheFirst: The other man, however, tries
to grab you from the side. You get an AoO.
popichuelo76: whoo

Chromeus18: 10 + dex mod

SirAlextheFirst: Messily.
Chromeus18: in one battle you've done
more damage than i think i've done this
entire campaign :P
popichuelo76: lol
popichuelo76: ive got the adrenaline from
meeting throkk =p
Adm H Sopko: Not me =-)
popichuelo76: this is also my first battle in this
campaign
Chromeus18: yeah, but rogues aren't known
for doing massive damage when they're
outnumbered
SirAlextheFirst: No cleave?
popichuelo76: no cleave
SirAlextheFirst: Right, I'm silly.
Chromeus18: and Jerry hasn't done 17
damage in battle yet
Chromeus18: maybe 13-14
Adm H Sopko: I've gotten 24 in one swipe
Adm H Sopko: Take THAT dracoroach!<G>
SirAlextheFirst: The spellcasting thug hops
backwards five feet and starts chanting again,
this time culminating in a flashy wave, and a
Will save for you.
Chromeus18: Jerry isn't a battle force yet
*OnlineHost*: popichuelo76 rolled 1 20-sided

AndrewRogue: (Uh, I think my best work came
when Soppy was controlling Arianna against
the damn Hummer Rangers)
Adm H Sopko: (Yep. You got your first kill)
SirAlextheFirst: You feel drowsy for a second,
but adrenaline and strength of mind shrugs it
off. And your turn.
Chromeus18: Jerry has no kills :P
Adm H Sopko: I have... 7
popichuelo76: I reach into my pouch and toss
an alchemists fire directly at the guy
popichuelo76: touch attack
*OnlineHost*: popichuelo76 rolled 1 20-sided

SirAlextheFirst: Foom.
SirAlextheFirst: He screams and burns.
SirAlextheFirst: And runs away.
popichuelo76: good
popichuelo76: worked as i planned
SirAlextheFirst: If, that is, you let him.
popichuelo76: hmm was the guy on the ground
concious?
Sarcazmo47: Runs away on fire?
popichuelo76: well, if the guy on the ground is
kncoked out
SirAlextheFirst: Yes, he is. In fact, he's
standing up now, and looking at you warily.
popichuelo76: ok then, i let the guy run
popichuelo76: and check the first guy's pockets
before i speak to the guy
Sarcazmo47: Don't make a scene or anything.
:-P
SirAlextheFirst: Arr. brb.
popichuelo76: wow
popichuelo76: i came away unscathed
AndrewRogue: (*prod*)
Chromeus18: Nash just owned two guys
AndrewRogue: (Er, is the chat room broken?)
popichuelo76: (nope )
Chromeus18: Jerry's manhood shrinks 1
inch
popichuelo76: Nash's E-penis has grown!
Adm H Sopko: Hunter's stays at it's robust
length
AndrewRogue: (Can't quite comment
accurately here...)
Adm H Sopko: Aria's E-breasts?<G>
Chromeus18: no worries :P
Chromeus18: it's best that you don't
Chromeus18: Everyone except Jerry has
killed someone so far
popichuelo76: i think my guy is just unconcious
SirAlextheFirst: No, he's dead. Or will be in a
round or so.
popichuelo76: ah, hmmm
SirAlextheFirst: Anyways.
Chromeus18: mainly, the reason is cuz Jerry
casts supportive spells and such, and
heals those in need
popichuelo76: did he have anything on him?
SirAlextheFirst: The man you've saved takes
off running down the alley, without so much as
a thank you.
Chromeus18: gimme a few levels, i'll beat
some ass :P
popichuelo76: that bastard
SirAlextheFirst: As for the dead thug, he's got
$100 in cash, and a dagger.
popichuelo76: okay, im going to check this
dude's pockets and then hightail it after the
little man
SirAlextheFirst: Arr.
popichuelo76: i take his cash and dagger, and
then skidadle after him
SirAlextheFirst: He's already around the
corner when you've looted the dying mugger.
Sure you want to try and chase him?
popichuelo76: nah
popichuelo76: i'll go back into the streets,
sheating weapons beforehand
SirAlextheFirst: All right, then.
popichuelo76: everyone seems tense?
SirAlextheFirst: They are deserted once more.
SirAlextheFirst: Not even any guards or
paladins seem to have come to the sounds of
fighting.
popichuelo76: hmm, i roam around a bit, still no
signs of life?
SirAlextheFirst: After a couple blocks, you're
back to seeing a few open stands, and two
families buying groceries.
SirAlextheFirst: Nothing more.
popichuelo76: hmm, gather information skill to
see whats going on?
*OnlineHost*: popichuelo76 rolled 1 20-sided
die: 1
SirAlextheFirst: Certainly. There are some
people yet in the taverns and restaurants.
popichuelo76: O_o
popichuelo76: wow
popichuelo76: i pissed the whole town off
Chromeus18: crit faile!
popichuelo76: and now im being chased out
popichuelo76: by angry paladins with pitchforks
of holiness
SirAlextheFirst: You happen to find one bar in
which a man is yelling about a vast right-wing
conspiracy, or so it would seem, as just as
you get there, a fight breaks out.
popichuelo76: big bar room brawl?
SirAlextheFirst: Yeap.
popichuelo76: Hmm, I
SirAlextheFirst: A gang of five paladins starts
to engage the drunken patrons, and the yelling
man and his small crowd of supporters.
popichuelo76: I wade into the crowd of people
and attempt to snatch a purse or two from
some of them
SirAlextheFirst: Hokay. Give me a Fort save.
popichuelo76: ok
*OnlineHost*: popichuelo76 rolled 1 20-sided
die: 5
popichuelo76: 7
popichuelo76: phail
SirAlextheFirst: Right. The last thing you see is
a paladin's gauntlet headed for your face.
Adm H Sopko: Ah shit
popichuelo76: knocked clean out?
popichuelo76: i didnt try to rob a paladin O_o
SirAlextheFirst: You sure are.
SirAlextheFirst: And now we cut to the rest of
the party.
popichuelo76: well
AndrewRogue: (Now that's holy subjugation)
popichuelo76: i would like to see his reasoning
for doing that
Sarcazmo47: Stealing = bad?
popichuelo76: well
Adm H Sopko: He saw you pickpocketing?
popichuelo76: i would hope im being slick
SirAlextheFirst: Stealing = bad works.
popichuelo76: and stealing in a large bar room
fight
popichuelo76: with only 5 guards?
Sarcazmo47: Bad works = punched in the face.
SirAlextheFirst: Knock the punks all out and
sort it out later also works.
popichuelo76: i hardly think they could pick out
of the crowd doing it
popichuelo76: pick me
SirAlextheFirst: Random fighting also works.
popichuelo76: yeah
popichuelo76: i just dont want to be knocked
out for teefing >.>
SirAlextheFirst: So, stop whining. Anyways.
SirAlextheFirst: So the rest of you are going?
Chromeus18: to the temple of Tiyrael
SirAlextheFirst: Which is right in front of you.
Adm H Sopko: Yep. So lets stroll in
Chromeus18: *waks in*
AndrewRogue: *follows*
SirAlextheFirst: There is nobody in the
entranceway. Not even any guards.
SirAlextheFirst: Going to look further?
popichuelo76: ( uhh how does 100 bucks
convert to DnD money? )
Chromeus18: *proceeds inwards*
SirAlextheFirst: (In general, 1 gp = $10)
AndrewRogue: "Is there a festival or something
today?"
popichuelo76: ( gotcha _
Chromeus18: (wow, Jerry has 55300 gp?"
SirAlextheFirst: No, there are no holidays
today that any of you know of.
Chromeus18: is there anyone residing over
the temple?
SirAlextheFirst: Living above the temple?
SirAlextheFirst: No, there are no loft
apartments. There are quarters for a great
many priests and monks, though.
Chromeus18: is there... anyone IN the
temple?
SirAlextheFirst: In the sanctuary? Nope.
Chromeus18: and it's not even sunset?
SirAlextheFirst: No, it's not.
Chromeus18: *knocks on any resounding
object* "Is... anyone here?"
SirAlextheFirst: You hear some footsteps, and
a young robed man opens a door and steps
out before y'all.
SirAlextheFirst: "Greetings, brother. How may
I help you?"
Chromeus18: "Greetings, brother. I've
been far afield of our temple doing our
Lord's work. I'd like ta know if ye can
determine the magics on this armor I
have..."
Adm H Sopko: ::Looks upon the man who just
entered, letting Jerry be the representative::
Chromeus18: *presents the Green Ranger
Armor*
SirAlextheFirst: "Ah, certainly. Come on in to
the quarters, here, and I'll find someone who
can identify it for you."
AndrewRogue: *follows suite and shows the
Blue and White armors*
Chromeus18: *follows*
SirAlextheFirst: He leads you all back, and
through a white curtain which crackles about
you as you brush by it, and into a large
common room with a nice fire going, and
several holy men sitting and talking.
SirAlextheFirst: "Stay here, please, and I'll try
and find someone to help you."
SirAlextheFirst: The acolyte leaves.
Chromeus18: "Yes, brother"
AndrewRogue: "Thanks."
Chromeus18: *lays the GRA on the floor*
AndrewRogue: *sets the blue and white armors
beside it*
Adm H Sopko: ::Waits patiently:: "Is it just me
or has this whole town turned upside down?"
Chromeus18: "Hunter?"
AndrewRogue: "It does feel... strange."
Chromeus18: "What exactly do ye mean?"
Adm H Sopko: "This temple is all but deserted,
there are barely any people out on the street,
Father Joe did not answer me when I called
him... It just feels wierd..."
AndrewRogue: *stands patiently, looking at the
holy men somewhat curiously*
Chromeus18: "....I... The Temple of Tiyrael
serves us! I canna explain why the
priests aren't around.... but they must
have their reasons..."
Adm H Sopko: "Perhaps they are much closer
to civil war than when we left them..."
Chromeus18: "What are ye talkin' about??"
AndrewRogue: "What?"
Adm H Sopko: "Jerry, did you pay attention at
all the last time we were here? With the
condition of the king, the people have become
agitated."
Chromeus18: "Civil War?? Where did that
idea come from, lad?"
Chromeus18: (now might be a good time to
tell Jerry about things in Asgard)
SirAlextheFirst: (I... must repeat Soppy's
question. You might try talking to some of the
people in here.)
AndrewRogue: "Hunter, I'm sorry to bother
you but, what do you mean the 'condition of
the king'?" (sorry, I wasn't here <_<)
Chromeus18: "There won't be any civil
dispute here, lad. As long as Tiyrael
watches us...."
Adm H Sopko: ::Smiles:: "Oh yeah... you
weren't here with us last time, Aria. Well, the
mental and physical health of the king has
been failing, and he's made a few decisions
that have people up in arms. Last time we
were here, Brother Joe,
SirAlextheFirst: "...... then things won't
collapse totally. Maybe."
Adm H Sopko: the head of the Temple of
Gabriel here in Asgard, told us that the people
were murmuring about an uprising. They were
taking steps to prevent that, but it looks like
they may not have worked."
Adm H Sopko: "Or at least, people are afraid to
walk the streets now..."
SirAlextheFirst: There is an elf in front of you.
AndrewRogue: "It's that bad?" *distraught.
Then, noticing the elf* "Ah...!
AndrewRogue: "
SirAlextheFirst: Make a joke, and die. He's
dressed as a cleric, and looks quite tense.
Adm H Sopko: ::Looks up, a bit caught
off-guard but he hides it:: "Yes? You've come
to look at the armor?"
SirAlextheFirst: "Yes, yes I have. And it
seems you all need filling in on what's going
on, too."
Adm H Sopko: ::Nods:: "Very much so."
AndrewRogue: *weak smile* "It would be
appreciated."
Chromeus18: "If'n ye would..."
SirAlextheFirst: "In a nutshell, most of the
council has finally started a case to declare the
King incompetant to rule."
Chromeus18: "On what grounds?!?"
AndrewRogue: "But... if the king isn't in charge,
then who...?"
SirAlextheFirst: "The talk was bad enough, but
now that they're actually moving against his
authority... you can see what's happened to
the town. Nobody's sure who the guards
report to anymore."
Adm H Sopko: ::Nods, following closely::
SirAlextheFirst: "Grounds? On the grounds of
his behavior over the past months, of course.
They chose the incident with the ambassador
from Whittyre as the actual case, though - you
hear about that?"
Chromeus18: "Why did the council say our
King was incompetent to rule??"
Adm H Sopko: "No we didn't. Please, share
with us"
AndrewRogue: *shakes her head*
Chromeus18: nevermind my last comment,
Chromeus18: "I'm afraid we've been too far
afield for that news.."
Adm H Sopko: ::Blinks, trying to remember
how long they were away for::
SirAlextheFirst: *looks over the armors and
begins to bust out some silent spells* "Oh,
Whittyre sent one of their princes to ask for a
blessing from High Priestess Morissey and the
King, like they do every year."
Adm H Sopko: ((::Cheer for Morissey:: ))
SirAlextheFirst: (Only a few days)
Chromeus18: "And...."
Adm H Sopko: ((Yeah, like a week))
Chromeus18: (Morissey rocks more ass
than anyone)
SirAlextheFirst: "And the King insulted him.
Called him a pompous, overbearing fool
representative of a nation too drunk on power
for its own good, as I recall."
Chromeus18: (Morrissey > Morissey
though :P)
AndrewRogue: "He did?" *somewhat stunned*
Adm H Sopko: "Wow... that certainly goes
along with the rumors of his failing mental
condition..."
SirAlextheFirst: "Declined to give him any sort
of blessing. Oh, and he let crazy old Master
Voegtlin into the formal presentation, and he
insulted the guy further, and set his sleeve on
fire."
Chromeus18: "That came from a simple
blessing? Oh... my..."
AndrewRogue: "That's unbelieveable..."
Chromeus18: "Tis truly inconceivable....."
Adm H Sopko: ::Chuckles a bit:: "Yeah... I think
that about sums up the rumors... What is the
current situation with the people? Why are the
streets so empty?"
SirAlextheFirst: "You don't see it, still?
Nobody knows who the paladins report to!"
Chromeus18: (feel free to share info on
green, white, and blue armors :P
Chromeus18: )
Adm H Sopko: "So the people are afraid to
walk the streets. Yes, I said that before. Just
confirming"
SirAlextheFirst: "Crime's not punished at all.
Nobody's used to that here. And..... ah. Got
it. Where'd you pick up these prizes, I
wonder... no matter."
Chromeus18: "We've been far afield,
brothers."
Adm H Sopko: "Actually, that is why we are
here. We wish to know if there is anything you
can tell us about these pieces."
SirAlextheFirst: "These armors are warded
against various things, relating to their color,
obviously."
Chromeus18: "These armors come from
despicable beings..."
Adm H Sopko: ::Nods::
SirAlextheFirst: "The red one protects you
from fire and heat, the blue from ice and cold,
the green from acid and poisons, the black
from evil, and the white from holy energy."
Chromeus18: "Can ye deter any origin from
them?"
Adm H Sopko: ::Looks to Jerry:: "Don't you
wish we had the green armor in the cave?"
SirAlextheFirst: "Origin? No clue. Whoever
made them was very, very good - the
enchantments were seamless, and they cover
a wide variety of obscure stuff, too."
Chromeus18: "Heh, Hunter..."
Adm H Sopko: "Obscure? Like what?"
SirAlextheFirst: "Well, like, the white one also
guards mind control, the black one energy
draining and undead, the green one plants...
quite a wide variety, really."
Adm H Sopko: ::Takes out the black and white
swords:: "What about these?"
SirAlextheFirst: "The flip side is, they don't
help at all against things that the other armors
would stop."
Adm H Sopko: "Like what?"
Chromeus18: "It would take much magical
power to produce these things..."
SirAlextheFirst: "Like, Tiyreal help you if you
get fireballed when wearing the blue one,
there. Or poisoned."
Adm H Sopko: "Heh. Obviously."
SirAlextheFirst: *looks at swords* "More?
Part of the same set, I guess?"
Adm H Sopko: "Yes."
SirAlextheFirst: He takes them, and begins to
repeat his earlier process.
Chromeus18: "If'n ye can determine any
source of origin of any of these weapons...
I'm afraid I don't have the knowledge..."
SirAlextheFirst: "I'll write out the full list for
you, if you want."
SirAlextheFirst: "Source? You tell me.
There's no identifying features I can find."
Adm H Sopko: "Sure, we'd like that."
SirAlextheFirst: "Sure thing. Glad to help
fellow followers of light, and all."
Chromeus18: "Someone has enchanted
these weapons and armors..."
Chromeus18: "And they had a purpose.."
SirAlextheFirst: "Hah, done. Their purpose
was to... er... mess things up, a lot, and cause
pain and win fights."
Chromeus18: (i don't think we know what
KIND of armor they are though :P)
SirAlextheFirst: "Very unusual weapons.
They're actually colored because they've got
solid energy mixed with the metal blade, and it
seems that they can do a few nasty things
when they hit properly, too."
Adm H Sopko: "Yes... we've felt their effects,
actually"
Chromeus18: "Then... they're not normal
pieces.."
SirAlextheFirst: (Scale mail.)
Chromeus18: (Scale mail is noted)
SirAlextheFirst: The elf pulls out some paper
and a pen, and starts writing carefully.
Chromeus18: "Someone forged these
weapons, and took time to forge them"
Adm H Sopko: "Jerry, we know... it's quite
obvious just by looking at them"
SirAlextheFirst: "No, these aren't normal at all.
Very custom job, and very well done. Where
DID you get them?"
Adm H Sopko: "A few creatures that attacked
us. Made a peculiar humming noise. Ever hear
about them?"
Chromeus18: "We defeated a group of
hummers, and lifted these before their
bodies disappearred
Chromeus18: "
SirAlextheFirst: "Oh, really! They put out a
brief about those just an hour ago, from Sir
Throkk himself. Most of the staff is cooking
up plans to deal with em."
Adm H Sopko: "Really?! May we see this
brief?"
Chromeus18: "They aren't ones to be dealt
with by normal folk, brother..."
Chromeus18: "Only steely nerves will
persevere their attack.."
Adm H Sopko: "Hmph... I always considered
myself quite normal..."
Chromeus18: "Ye can consider yerself as ye
wish, Hunter."
SirAlextheFirst: "It was a short speech, not a
paper thing. You know how Sir Throkk...
well, no, you don't. Nevermind."
Adm H Sopko: ::Chuckles a bit:: "Oh we might
know him just a little... but no matter. What
did he say?"
SirAlextheFirst: "He spoke about the
worldwide cult, and that they've attacked in
greater force now, and can carry strange arms
and armors... like these, huh?"
Adm H Sopko: "Yes. And they can appear and
disappear in the blink of an eye. We've faced
them thrice before now"
SirAlextheFirst: *shakes head* "All the better,
if you can live and take stuff like this from em."
Adm H Sopko: ::Shrugs:: "Barely. They
disappear without a trace once slain. As for
the cultists... we are hunting for them. We are
here in Asgard to try and gather some
information"
SirAlextheFirst: "Ahh. Well, so are we, now,
so if you stay here, you can help look through
the archives. Or try some of the libraries for
us."
Adm H Sopko: ::Looks to Jerry:: "I think you'd
be best suited to that task, since we have
other places to visit."
SirAlextheFirst: (So....)
Adm H Sopko: (Buttons?)
SirAlextheFirst: Well, then.
SirAlextheFirst: While y'all sort out what
you're going to do from there, shall we return
to Nash?
Adm H Sopko: Sure
popichuelo76: whoo!
Chromeus18: "Well..."
Chromeus18: *cut to Nash*
SirAlextheFirst: Y'all three should decide
where you're going to go.
SirAlextheFirst: Nash, meanwhile, awakes in a
barred cell by himself.
popichuelo76: *rubs his head and checks for his
possesions*
SirAlextheFirst: It's rather dark, save for the
torches on the wall outside the cell, and the
window on the back wall.
SirAlextheFirst: All your things are intact and
with you still.
popichuelo76: *Goes to the cell and calls out
for....anyone*
SirAlextheFirst: The cell is spartan, having only
a toilet and bunk. Outside the barred door,
however, someone is waiting for you.
popichuelo76: ok then
popichuelo76: take back my last action
popichuelo76: "Well, greetings their"
Sarcazmo47: The first think you notice are
clothes, which are expensive without being
gaudy, and seem well cared for if a bit faded.
His face is classicaly half-elven, with ears to
match, although he seems a bit gaunt in the
cheeks.
Sarcazmo47: His jaw is set firmly, although a
half-smile seems to be working at the corner
of his mouth.
Sarcazmo47: There's a weapon, at his side -
(Make me a Spot check, please)
*OnlineHost*: popichuelo76 rolled 1 20-sided
die: 1
popichuelo76: O_o
popichuelo76: radscorpions
Sarcazmo47: It could potentially be pointy.
popichuelo76: or it could be a piece of sausage,
im not too sure
Sarcazmo47: "Did you enjoy your rest, Mister
Nash?"
popichuelo76: "Oh it was quite pleasant indeed!
Nothing like a gauntlet to the head to make a
man cherish sleep"
Sarcazmo47: His voice is steely but strained, as
if he's been holding something in for a very,
very long time now.
popichuelo76: "Might I ask who you are, as you
know who i am?"
Sarcazmo47: He snorts. "You might. As of
now, I'm the man that has arranged your
release." He raises a hand and gestures to
someone outside your line of sight.
popichuelo76: "Well, i suppose i should thank
you then"
Sarcazmo47: "Worry not. You'll have more
than an ample opportunity to replay me."
popichuelo76: "I see, smart man, using me and
all"
Sarcazmo47: "I'm glad you were able to pick up
on that. I suppose you can tie your own
shoes, as well." Loud footsteps and some
metallic jingling herald a guard who comes and
unlocks you cell.
popichuelo76: *gathers his things and walks
out* "Is it sundown yet?"
SirAlextheFirst: Almost.
popichuelo76: i figured i'd just ask in character,
as i have been knocked out
Sarcazmo47: "Nearly. Now, please take me to
Hunter Sopko."
Adm H Sopko: ..
popichuelo76: "Hmm, Might i ask your business
with him first?"
Sarcazmo47: He tilts his head to the side
slightly. "You might."
Adm H Sopko: (He is the secret heir the throne
of Mxyplxck)
popichuelo76: "Well then, please fill me in"
Sarcazmo47: "If you want to know, I suppose
you should take me to him so you can listen
when I explain."
popichuelo76: "Alright, just tell me your name
first"
Sarcazmo47: He sighs. "I am the Marquis
Vincent Dela Rosa. Now, please, take me to
Hunter Sopko."
Adm H Sopko: ((::Laughs:: First Nash, now
Vincent))
Sarcazmo47: ((Eh?))
popichuelo76: "Well, I have no clue where he is
now, but at sundown i am supposed to meet
up with him"
Adm H Sopko: ((With Vincent DeBoule to live
up to... heh)
Adm H Sopko: (Suikoden)
popichuelo76: (muaha)
Sarcazmo47: Dela Rosa gestures towards the
fading light coming through the window.
"Lead the way, please."
popichuelo76: *walks out of the jail, and gets
his bearings before heading for the...Shining
Force Inn*
popichuelo76: (forgot name =p )
SirAlextheFirst: (Horse. Not Force)
popichuelo76: ( alrighty, and shining force so
pwns )
Chromeus18: (SFII is better :P)
popichuelo76: ( well yeah )
popichuelo76: (its horrible playing 2 then 1)
popichuelo76: anyways, were going to arrive
their way early, right?
Sarcazmo47: Dela Roas keeps pace with you
quite easily, although his stride is...hurried.
Clipped, even.
popichuelo76: "So, how do you know who I
am?"
Sarcazmo47: *Rosa. Me typum goodum.
Sarcazmo47: "You'd be amazed at what a few
dollars can turn up."
popichuelo76: "heh, and here i thought i kept a
low profile"
Sarcazmo47: You hear a derisive snort.
Sarcazmo47: "Robbing a jewelery merchant in
plain sight and then leaping into a barfight
might not be considered a low profile by
some."
popichuelo76: "So you have been following me?
And here i thought i was pretty sneaky with
the jeweler"
popichuelo76: "Then i suppose you saw me kill
that man?"\
Sarcazmo47: "I have better things to do with my
time. No, when a man sees a thief and turns
around thirty seconds later to find his wares
missing, he puts those things together."
popichuelo76: "Hmm, Guess I'm going to have
to work on my appearance, maybe i can get
the name of YOUR tailor later"
Sarcazmo47: Dela Rosa cuts a sharp glance at
you, but you can see the ghost of a smile on
his lips. "Perhaps."
popichuelo76: "Whats with this city, anyways?"
Sarcazmo47: "Politics.One group wants power,
and another one has it. As ususal."
popichuelo76: "Ah, well, when civil wars break
out, its always us "borrowers" who profit
most"
Sarcazmo47: He shakes his head. "I would
guess that a borrower such as yourself would
be dead before the week was out. Don't stick
your head into matters you don't understand."
popichuelo76: "Oh i wouldnt worry about
myself, the guard was lucky earlier. I had just
fought off two men"
Sarcazmo47: He eyes you, and a hint of
mockery springs into his eyes. "Did you,
now? You must be very proud of
yourself....is this the meeting place?"
popichuelo76: "Why yes, I am a bit proud. And
you know....I'm not too sure if this is the place
or not"
popichuelo76: "My head was hit pretty hard,
and i just cant seem to remember"\
Sarcazmo47: His eyes harden. "Try."
popichuelo76: "Hm, maybe if i think really hard"
*feigns being deep in thought* "You know, i
just CANT be sure"
Sarcazmo47: "Shall we return to the prison,
then, so you can think about it in peace?"
popichuelo76: "Oh, i really doubt that is an
option"
Sarcazmo47: "Mister Nash. I appreciate your
loyalty to your comrades. I can tell you quite
honestly that I mean no harm to you or any of
your group. But if you insist on refusing to
help me, you will force my hand. (more)
popichuelo76: ( holy shit, color me stupid )
Sarcazmo47: "And I haven't the time or the
patience to be gentle."
Sarcazmo47: Umm. Make me another Spot
check, please.
popichuelo76: *chuckles and a smirk grows
across his face* "Well, Mister Rosa, i can
assure you that i fear nothing from you, and
your threats arent going to encourage me.
Just, I think it's a wonderful idea to irritate
you, as you
popichuelo76: you just mocked my entire life
and career"
*OnlineHost*: popichuelo76 rolled 1 20-sided
die: 15
popichuelo76: 21
Sarcazmo47: Right. Make me an appraise
check, then.
*OnlineHost*: popichuelo76 rolled 1 20-sided
die: 15
popichuelo76: appraise is what? wis?
Sarcazmo47: INT.
popichuelo76: k
popichuelo76: 18
Sarcazmo47: "Then you're clearly far less
intelligent than you appear. Your usefulness
hinges on your ability to help both me and my
daughter, (more)
Adm H Sopko: uh-oh...
Sarcazmo47: "Mister Nash. I apologize if I've
offended you. I am in a hurry. Now, can we
continue?"
Sarcazmo47: Allright. Well, you catch a
glimpse of the weapon at his side. From the
look of the sheath, you'd guess it's a rapier.
popichuelo76: *laughs* "Yes, yes we may. And
i accept your apology. We are indeed at the
inn"
SirAlextheFirst: (What has the rest of the party
decided to do, at this point?)
popichuelo76: "Hunter shall be arriving around
sun down"
Adm H Sopko: Jerry will be staying to study,
and Hunter is moving on to the Temple of
Gabriel with Aria
Chromeus18: we all meet up at sundown
Sarcazmo47: What you can see of the weapon
reveals a beautifully worked crossguard and
hilt, inlaid with gold. The crossguard is make
of a silvery material you don't recognize.
AndrewRogue: (That sounds right to me ^_^)
Chromeus18: well, if anyone relates where
Jerry's going, he'll stay
Sarcazmo47: Hmm. 21 spot........you can see
that the velvet wrapped around the hilt is quite
worn where one would hold it.
Chromeus18: if you play that far into your
character...
SirAlextheFirst: (Those who are going back to
the inn at sundown can arrive when they wish,
then.)
SirAlextheFirst: (Sorry about breaking it off
earlier, but it looked like things were stuck
and nobody was talking)
popichuelo76: ( i seriously thought alex was
controlling the rosa guy the whole time)
popichuelo76: (cause alex's name is a peach
color, and sarcazmo's an orange, they look
very similar)
popichuelo76: ( i saw an s and the color, and
assumed alex )
Chromeus18: (stays at any scholarly places
available, researching any instances of
Hummers, or anything that may have lead
to them)
AndrewRogue: (No problem, I've been a little
bleh here this last half hour. I think I actually
dozed off for several minutes. *smacks self
sharply*)
popichuelo76: ( been there done that -_- )
Sarcazmo47: In any case. Who is in the Inn
when Nash and his new friend show up?
popichuelo76: no one, yet
Adm H Sopko: We still got a bit.
Sarcazmo47: Exciting. Well, Rosa will follow
Nash into the building and gesture him to a
corner table.
Sarcazmo47: And...wait.
Chromeus18: it's probably good i'm not
there, the nyquil just stuck a spear in my
brain
popichuelo76: well, nash will meet with rosa,
then go off to mingle with locals in the pub
Adm H Sopko: ::Waits to be able to go to the
Temple of G-man::
Chromeus18: *is probably done until next
session*
Chromeus18: hopefully with lots of neat
stuff to xhare
Chromeus18: more than likely, we'll have
nothing
SirAlextheFirst: Back to Hunter and Aria and
Jerry, then - what's happening?
Adm H Sopko: We told you.
popichuelo76: ive got stories to tell >.>
Chromeus18: Jerry is hitting up every place
with books for info on Hummers
Adm H Sopko: Jerry is staying to study until
sundown, and Hunter and Aria are going to
the Temple of Gabriel.
SirAlextheFirst: Right, then.
SirAlextheFirst: The Temple of Gabriel is much
the same as that of Tiyreal - no people in
view. The weapons that once lined the walls
are all gone, as well.
Adm H Sopko: ::Blinks, wondering what
happened. He shrugs it off though:: "Brother
Joe? Anyone?"
SirAlextheFirst: Listen check.,
*OnlineHost*: AndrewRogue rolled 1
20-sided die: 20
*OnlineHost*: Adm H Sopko rolled 1
20-sided die: 9
AndrewRogue: 17
popichuelo76: you hear a mouse scamper
across the floor 3 miles away
Adm H Sopko: 15
popichuelo76: negative listen check?
SirAlextheFirst: You hear nothing but silence.
AndrewRogue: (Negative lots of things <_<)
*looking curiously at Hunter* "No one
home?"
Adm H Sopko: ::Walks to the head of the
temple, up onto the dias:: "Seems so..."
~Brother Joe?~
popichuelo76: ( oh, well if its -3 on listen, you
should have had a 27 still )
Chromeus18: (i dunno if Alex is using the
same crit rules for skills)
popichuelo76: ( i had thought i asked a couple
sessions ago )
SirAlextheFirst: At last, a hurried mental reply
from Brother Joe pops into your brain. <I'm
at the castle right now. What is it?>
AndrewRogue: *sighs as she leans against the
wall*
Adm H Sopko: ~Whoa! Sorry to disturb you
then. We've just gotten back into Asgard and
we're at the Temple now... it's like,
abandoned. We've heard of the situation now
as well. It's a bit disturbing~
SirAlextheFirst: Even telepathically, the priest's
worried, almost curt tone cuts across your
ears. <More than a bit. All the clerics of
Gabriel are keeping peace up here.>
Adm H Sopko: ~What is going on? Do you
need help?~
Chromeus18: (JESUS H CHRIST)
Chromeus18: (How in the hell can anyone
need help with a racing game??)
SirAlextheFirst: <The King's on trial, and
we're acting as independant-> - the
transmission breaks off for a moment, then
resumes - <authority, to make sure violence
doesn't break out.>
AndrewRogue: *looks about at that structure
idly, even beginning to hum quietly*
Adm H Sopko: ~Right. I guess we'll have to
talk later then. Tell me when you are
available. Are you sure you do not need
assistance?~
SirAlextheFirst: <There's nothing you can do
to help the situation here. Don't worry, just
keep on with what you're doing. The temple's
sealed to anything with intentions of looting,
so don't worry.>
AndrewRogue: *her quiet, slightly-off melody
is cut off as she yawns broadly, stretching out.
Apparently the last couple days have started
to wear on her.*
popichuelo76: ( good thing i didnt go with you
guys =p )
Adm H Sopko: ~Right. Talk to you later, then~
::Looks over to Aria:: "Well, looks like this
was wasted."
AndrewRogue: "Nothing new then?"
Adm H Sopko: "It turns out everyone here is
currently out controlling a situation before it
gets out of hand. Sounded like it already had
though... nothing we can help with, I'm afraid"
Chromeus18: (i can't believe gamers now)
Chromeus18: (needing help on a racing
game is like asking someone to hold your
dick while you pee)
AndrewRogue: "I don't like this Hunter."
*stifles a yawn as she steps away from the
wall* "Then perhaps its time we headed back
towards the Shining... Shining... ah..."
popichuelo76: horse
Adm H Sopko: ::Nods and smiles a bit::
"Shining Horse Inn, Aria. But yes... things
certainly have taken a turn for the worst in this
city... I suppose we should regroup."
SirAlextheFirst has left the room.
popichuelo76: O_o
popichuelo76: well hrm
Adm H Sopko: ...
AndrewRogue: ...
Sarcazmo47: I think he lagged out.
Adm H Sopko: Aha
Adm H Sopko: Keep going though...
Adm H Sopko: At least till we get to the Inn
popichuelo76: well, what do we continue with?
Sarcazmo47: Chromeus?
Chromeus18: i can't do anyting >_>
popichuelo76: hmm, researching could make
for boring rp =p
popichuelo76: *looks at books*
popichuelo76: *reads pages*
SirAlextheFirst has entered the room.
Chromeus18: i can't learn anything except
what Alex tells me
SirAlextheFirst: (Arrrr mateys.)
popichuelo76: (arrr!)
AndrewRogue: (Arrrr Alex!)
Sarcazmo47: ((YARR!))
Adm H Sopko: "Well, c'mon, Aria. Lets go."
::Begins to walk out, waving for her to follow
him::
Chromeus18: (avast!)
SirAlextheFirst: *Stabs AIM* Anyways.
Sorry.
AndrewRogue: "Coming!" *she says, moving
to catch up with him*
Adm H Sopko: ::Looks up at the sky to judge
what time it is::
SirAlextheFirst: It's about 5 now, getting
towards sundown, but you've an hour or so
left.
Adm H Sopko: ::Wonders if he could squeeze
in a report to the company, but decides
against it:: "Well, we have about an hour.
Should we just head back?"
AndrewRogue: "Well, I can't think of anything
that I have to do..."
Adm H Sopko: "Right then... off to the Inn
then..." ::Walks through the city, taking the
long way to kill time::
AndrewRogue: "Hunter..." *awkwardly* "Do
you, uhm, meet divinities often?"
Adm H Sopko: ::Blinks, a bit taken aback by
that question:: "What do you mean?"
AndrewRogue: "You talk about meeting
Gabriel so casually. And then you spoke to,
even argued in front of, Throkk and Glysa... It
just seems so, I don't know, usual to you. I
was lucky I didn't fall flat on my face in front
of them."
Adm H Sopko: ::Chuckles:: "It almost did
happen though... but... no... not until a month
ago, when all this happened, did I meet
anyone like that. I may be able to speak
about it... but you should have seen me when
I realized I had
Adm H Sopko: spoken personally with a god. I
still don't think all the color has returned to my
face from that one... I suppose by the time we
met with Throkk that I had come to grips with
it... since it would be quite standard on our
quest.
Adm H Sopko: Not to say I'm not nervous at
all, though."
AndrewRogue: *slightly relieved* "That's...
well, its nice to know."
Adm H Sopko: "I suppose it's a bit rougher on
you, having grown up and be inspired to go
on this thing because of those stories, and all"
AndrewRogue: *blushes embarassedly*
Adm H Sopko: ::Chuckles:: "Don't feel bad
about it. There are worse reasons to get
involved."
Chromeus18: (hey Alex, care to give out
XP? this nyquil is kicking my ass)
Chromeus18: (hard, hard, hardcore
asskicking)
AndrewRogue: "Those days though... they
don't feel like they belong to me any more..."
Adm H Sopko: ::Smiles, a bit embarassed
himself:: "Hell, you heard why I did."
Adm H Sopko: "What do you mean?"
AndrewRogue: (did I?)
Adm H Sopko: ((Yep. I told Throkk in front of
everyone)
AndrewRogue: (Er, I don't think I myself was
there)
SirAlextheFirst: (You were, in character at
least.)
Adm H Sopko: ((I sent the log))
AndrewRogue: *purposely guiding the
conversation away from her previous
statement, almost smirking* "There are worse
reasons for getting involved Hunter."
Chromeus18: (i'm halfway to delirious, don't
count on me right now for past things that
have gone on)
AndrewRogue: (No problem Chrome, I know
that feeling. And I got the log.)
Adm H Sopko: ::Chuckles:: "Well, idealism is
better than joining because of a girl, at least."
AndrewRogue: "Perhaps, perhaps not."
Chromeus18: (the feeling is kinda fun when
you're not sick, but when you really are
sick, it just sucks....)
Adm H Sopko: ::Laughs a bit:: "Even more
when that girl disappears about a day after it
begins." ::Shrugs it off:: "All well, I'm still here,
though... and I probably will see it through...
for whatever reason."
popichuelo76: we could just call it a night after
hunter and aria finish
Adm H Sopko: I'll go crazy if I don't know why
the hell he's looking for me personally
AndrewRogue: *nods* ~and it seems a bit silly
when you lose your idealism after a day~ "As
will I. I swore that much at least."
Chromeus18: Jerry is pretty much done :P
Adm H Sopko: ::Nods:: "Glad to hear... I was
worried you'd lost heart after the battle with
those beasts."
SirAlextheFirst: (I'm fine with whatever y'all
want to do.)
popichuelo76: well, its all like 5am
Adm H Sopko: You know me. I can keep
going
AndrewRogue: (Only 2 AM for me ^_~ I can
keep it up)
Sarcazmo47: ((Hear, hear.))
Adm H Sopko: It's 5Am for em
Adm H Sopko: me even
popichuelo76: then i guess we keep going
SirAlextheFirst: (Arrive at the inn whenever
you wish, then.)
Adm H Sopko: (Right. Your line then, Aria)
popichuelo76: *as he mingles with the locals he
notices it is near sunset* <HUnter, you
their?>
Adm H Sopko: ~Hm? Yes.~
AndrewRogue: (Heh... okay, have us arrive
whenever then) "No... no I haven't. Not yet."
popichuelo76: <Im at the Inn, and with some
guy who wants to meet with you>
Adm H Sopko: ~With me? Um... well... Aria
and I are on our way now. Jerry is at the
Temple researching the Hummers. We'll be
there in a bit~
popichuelo76: <Alright, name was....Marquis
Vincent Del Rosa, or something like that. Just
thought i'd give you the heads up>
Adm H Sopko: "Make sure you tell someone if
you're having second thoughts, Aria... we
won't hold it against you if you back out.
You're still young yet, after all. It's a bit much
to put on you."
SirAlextheFirst: (Knowledge: Nobility check
to recognize the name, folks)
*OnlineHost*: Adm H Sopko rolled 1

AndrewRogue: "Of course."
popichuelo76: radscorpions
Sarcazmo47: Marquis? That's a fried dough
thingie, right?
popichuelo76: lol
AndrewRogue: (*snicker*)
SirAlextheFirst: Soppy's heard of him before.
Adm H Sopko: Wheee
Adm H Sopko: I heard of him how? Know
anything or just passing heard his name?
SirAlextheFirst: I am assuming that you do
have a rank in it.
SirAlextheFirst: Right?
Adm H Sopko: .......no.....
SirAlextheFirst: Ah. Nevermind then.
SirAlextheFirst: Fried dough thingy sounds
about right.
Adm H Sopko: And we arrive
AndrewRogue: (And there was much rejoicing)
Adm H Sopko: ((Shall we say I just know his
name and nothing else or just fried
dough?<G>))
SirAlextheFirst: Fried dough.
Adm H Sopko: Bah
SirAlextheFirst: And you arrive at the Shining
Horse Inn, considerably more subdued inside
than you've ever seen it.
popichuelo76: *stands from the table he was
sitting at and goes to greet Aria and Hunter*
Sarcazmo47: Dela Rosa stands when Nash
does, although he doesn't move away from
the table.
popichuelo76: *nods at the table* "Thats him"
AndrewRogue: *noticing Rosa* "Ah... we have
a guest?"
Adm H Sopko: ::Walks over to them, nodding
to Nash:: "Yo."
Adm H Sopko: ::Looks to Vincent:: "You
wanted to see me?"
Sarcazmo47: His voice is strained. "You are
Hunter Sopko?"
Adm H Sopko: "Yes I am. And you are
Marquis Vincent Del Rosa?"
popichuelo76: *nods and fills in Aria, quietly*
"This is Marquis Vincent Del Rosa, and for
some reason he wanted to meet with Hunter.
Im not too sure why though"
Sarcazmo47: A shadow of relief passes over
his face. "I am. And I am very, very happy
to find you."
AndrewRogue: *quietly as well* "Where'd you
meet him?"
Sarcazmo47: He gestures to the table. "Please,
sit. I have a proposition for you."
Adm H Sopko: ::His face remains passive as he
nods to him, sitting down at the table:: "Alright
then..."
popichuelo76: *laughs, still whispering* "He got
me out of a jail cell"
Sarcazmo47: He sits as well, across the table
from Sopko. "I trust you did not run into a
trouble in the city yet?"
Sarcazmo47: *any
AndrewRogue: *somewhat shocked* "A jail
cell?"
Adm H Sopko: ::Shakes his head:: "No... not
yet. I mean, how can one with the streets and
Temples so barren in this time of upheaval?"
Sarcazmo47: ((Sense Motive, please?))
popichuelo76: "Lets just say i found myself in a
bad situation, with all these angry folks around
town"
Adm H Sopko: ((BAH! What is it that I give off
that people must sense my motive?! Firt Jerry,
now him!)
Sarcazmo47: ((No. Sense HIS motive.))
Adm H Sopko: Oh... me sense his...
Adm H Sopko: Err... fine...
popichuelo76: O_o
Adm H Sopko: But no. They haven't gotten to
the suspicious part yet
Adm H Sopko: So later. Just continue
Sarcazmo47: "Indeed. Well, I'm pleased to
hear that you arrived without incident. Now,
as to why I wanted to meet you."
Adm H Sopko: ::Nods, listening close::
popichuelo76: *aside to aria* "So, did you
guys find anything out?"
Sarcazmo47: "You and your comrades have
been....making themselves known in certain
circles. Your exploits have reached the ears
of folks interested enough to listen, and I have
heard something that interestes me greatly."
Adm H Sopko: ((For Alex...)) ::Smirks:: "Is that
right? Please, share."
AndrewRogue: *shakes her head* "No.
Hunter's friend was at the castle attending to
the trial... Apparently he was very busy at that
moment."
Sarcazmo47: He nods towards Sopko. "You
have in your posession two items - the hand
of a Hunter, and the glass rose that severed it
- that I would very much like to have. I am
willing to offer.....substantial compensation."
Adm H Sopko: NOW sense motive
*OnlineHost*: Adm H Sopko rolled 1
20-sided die: 14
AndrewRogue: *looks up sharply*
Adm H Sopko: 18
Sarcazmo47: Yes, he really wants those items.
Yes, he's really willing to give you a lot of
money to have them.
Adm H Sopko: "Now why would you want
such items?"
Sarcazmo47: He blinks. "Does it matter?"
Adm H Sopko: "Very much so."
Sarcazmo47: He sighs. "Someone....very close
to me has been taken with an affliction. It
cannot be cured through normal means.
What you have is what I need to restore her
health."
Adm H Sopko: ::Laughs a bit:: "I highly doubt
that a finely crafted crystal rose and the hand
of a HUNTER will cure that illness."
Sarcazmo47: His eyes harden. "Nevertheless.
I would offer you ten thousand dollars for
them."
Adm H Sopko: ::Flat out:: "No."
Sarcazmo47: He blinks. "No?"
Adm H Sopko: ::Remains silent, his face
hardened and passive::
popichuelo76: *grins as he watches the
conversation*
Sarcazmo47: "A hundred, then."
Adm H Sopko: "No"
Sarcazmo47: He begins to look desperate.
"No, you want more money? Or no, you will
not sell them?"
Adm H Sopko: "I believe you know the answer
to that."
AndrewRogue: *placing her hand on the pouch
that holds the finger* "...Hunter?"
Adm H Sopko: ::Turns to Aria:: "Yes, Aria?"
Sarcazmo47: He shakes his head. "You can't
mean that. You can't. Marian.....my
daughter will die if you won't give me these!
What do you want from me?"
AndrewRogue: (whoah, lagging out here >_<)
Adm H Sopko: ::Ignores him for now to listen
to Aria::
AndrewRogue: *quietly* "Why no?"
Adm H Sopko: "I have my reasons" ::Aloud
enough so it answers both of them::
Adm H Sopko: ::Turns his head to look at
Vincent:: "Marquis? Of what territory?
Adm H Sopko: "
Sarcazmo47: His voice is rising in volume at this
point. "Please! You have no idea, the pain-
you have her cure in your hands! Why won't
you help me?"
AndrewRogue: *uncomfortably takes the
HUNTER finger from the pouch and places it
on the table*
Adm H Sopko: ::Quickly takes the finger off the
table::
popichuelo76: *takes a step near the marquis*
"Aria...."
Adm H Sopko: ::As well as shooting Aria a
look::
Sarcazmo47: His eyes follow the finger, but he
does not move toward it.
Adm H Sopko: "Excuse me, Count. Would you
explain to me exactly how these two items
would cure your daughter? As well as answer
my previous question?"
Adm H Sopko: ((Er. Marquis)
Sarcazmo47: He blinks. "I am a member of the
court. Are you an alchemist, mister Hunter?"
AndrewRogue: *meets his gaze on that mark,
but waits for Hunter's questions before she
speaks*
Adm H Sopko: ~Brother Joe... sorry to bother
you again. But what do you know about a
Marquis Vincent Dela Rosa of the Asgard
court?~
popichuelo76: (im going to go to sleep, but
keep aim on so i have a copy of the log, later
guys )
Adm H Sopko: "No, sir. I am not."
AndrewRogue: (See ya Popi.)
Sarcazmo47: "Then my explaination would
mean nothing to you. The fact is, this, and
only this, can help her."
SirAlextheFirst: (Good night)
Sarcazmo47: ((And dream of large women.
:-P))
Adm H Sopko: ::Nods:: "I do not wish to be
able to understand it, I wish for you to tell me"
SirAlextheFirst: The response from Brother
Joe comes back after a short delay, but he
seems more relaxed than his previous
thoughts.
Sarcazmo47: He snorts. "In terms you would
understand, the essence of a HUNTER seeks
out all things ill and destroys them. While
natural healing and the ineffective magics of
clerics cannot help her affliction, the proper
fusion (more)
SirAlextheFirst: <Former... well, he might
technically still be a member of the court.
Nice guy on the whole, but his daughter's got
some sort of incurable disorder. I never saw
it myself, before my time.>
Sarcazmo47: of a HUNTER's essence with a
number of other substances can cure what
they cannot. The difficulty, of course, lies in
acquiring the essence of a HUNTER - but the
blood and flesh of one are all I need in order
to do just that."
SirAlextheFirst: <He spent a lot of time and
effort trying to cure her, to where the clerics
got suspicious that it might not be a totally
natural or curable illness. If you get what I
mean. They couldn't help her, and he got a
bad name.>
SirAlextheFirst: <He's still got his fortune and
everything, far as I know, just doesn't go out
in public much anymore.>
Adm H Sopko: ~Thank you, Brother Joe. He is
currently sitting across the table from me
asking to purchase the finger of a Hunter, as
well as my friend Queklain's crystal rose
believing that they would cure his daughter~
Adm H Sopko: ::Nods, ignoring the rude snort::
"And just how did you come to know that we
were in the possession of such items?"
Sarcazmo47: "I pay substantial amounts of
money to be informed of these things."
Adm H Sopko: "May I ask who gave you this
information?"
Sarcazmo47: "I was told by an information
broker who has been in my employ for some
time. To know more than that, you would
have to ask him."
Adm H Sopko: "To be honest with you,
Marquis... I am not interested in selling you
these items in the least bit. It goes against my
character a bit, but recently, I have learned I
have to be a bit more careful with whom I
trust. And your
Adm H Sopko: story... well, it's not the most
believable in the world. Though I understand
that your daughter is truly sick and you seek
to cure her, I still have my reasons to doubt
the situation, though they lie not with you."
Sarcazmo47: He looks almost stunned.
"You.......you refuse?"
AndrewRogue: "Hunter, please give the finger
back to me..."
Adm H Sopko: ::Sighs, looking a bit apologetic
for some reason:: "Yes. I do. Though my
heart goes out to you." ::Turns to Aria and
hands her the finger::
Sarcazmo47: He sits for a moment, then begins
to shake his head. "No. No, I cannot accept
that."
AndrewRogue: *looks at it considerately and
then at Hunter and then Rosa*
AndrewRogue: *she then sets it on the table,
her hand resting over it*
Adm H Sopko: ::Watches Aria closely::
Sarcazmo47: Rosa watches as well, looking
oddly at Aria.
AndrewRogue: *tensely* "Hunter..."
Adm H Sopko: "Yes, Aria?"
Adm H Sopko: (Change that to Arianna)
AndrewRogue: "Please tell me, how can you
refuse him?"
Sarcazmo47: His gaze doesn't move from
Aria's hand.
Adm H Sopko: ::Directly to Aria:: ~Just how
suspicious is this situation?~
Adm H Sopko: ~You're a student of the stories
as well. How many begin with a person
desperate to cure someone that they'll do
anything? We have no idea who this man is
consulting, and just HOW he came to know
we possessed these. We didn't
Adm H Sopko: exactly flash them around to
everyone.~
AndrewRogue: *still tense* "I think I
understand Hunter, but..."
AndrewRogue: "I don't think I can rightfully
refuse."
Adm H Sopko: ~I do not trust him, Aria... I
don't know why, but I just cannot.~
Adm H Sopko: ~I cannot begin to imagine what
an alchemist could do with something directly
created by Nellix's hand~
AndrewRogue: "Sir Dela Rosa?"
Sarcazmo47: He blinks. He sounds very tired.
"Yes?"
AndrewRogue: "I will..." *swallows, very
aware of Hunter's gaze* "On one condition,
give you this..."
Sarcazmo47: His head lifts slightly, and he
looks directly into her eyes. "Anything."
AndrewRogue: "I go with you... To personally
insure its use..."
Adm H Sopko: ::Blinks, a bit shocked at Aria's
request::
Sarcazmo47: Rosa inclines his head. "Most
certainly. Lady..........you have all the
gratitude I can bestow. Name what you
want, and if it is in my power, it is yours. But
without the blood, it is useless to me."
Adm H Sopko: "There is indeed dried blood on
the finger"
Sarcazmo47: He looks directly at Hunter. "I
doubt you are aware of this, but the magical
properties inherent to the blood that make the
ritual effective must be preserved, and there
are few materials than can do so. Crystal
(more)
Sarcazmo47: is one of those materials."
Adm H Sopko: ::Closes his eyes in thought
once again, remembering Throkk's "Loyalty
to ones friends made in battle" remark, and
remembering the promise he made Queklain::
Adm H Sopko: ((WWGD?))
SirAlextheFirst: (What would Gorth do?)
Adm H Sopko: ((Gabriel<G>))
SirAlextheFirst: (Gorth would have Vincent
steal the stuff and you wouldn't be able to do
anything about it. But then you could fight him
later, and he'd suck so you'd win in a round.)
SirAlextheFirst: (Gabriel would have turned
the rose into a weapon by now.)
Adm H Sopko: ::Hunter can't decide what to
do. He's very torn up inside by this whole
situation::
Adm H Sopko: WWND?<G>
Sarcazmo47: ((What Would Ninjas Do?))
SirAlextheFirst: (Ninjas would wail on some
guitars and go pork Aria.)
Adm H Sopko: Or, for you Naruto fans,
WWRLD
SirAlextheFirst: (Sorry.)
AndrewRogue: (... ...)
SirAlextheFirst: (*hums the Jeopardy theme*)
Adm H Sopko: ~Heh... such a simple
decision... if I'm right, a girl is saved, if I'm
wrong, world in danger. Goodie goodie
fucking gumdrops...~
Sarcazmo47: ((Here guys. Have a moral
dilemma with your meal! Spices up your
day!))
SirAlextheFirst: (You know, this CD full of E
Nomine and Rammstein actually does fit the
situation well.)
Adm H Sopko: "I promised my friend I would
never give this rose away to anyone, before
he died."
Sarcazmo47: "Did your friend intend for people
to die for that promise?"
AndrewRogue: "How would the rose be
needed? Would it have to be destroyed?"
Adm H Sopko: "Very crafty, using people's
feelings against them."
Sarcazmo47: Rosa sighs. "Not
completely.....but it would likely be damaged
beyond recognition."
Sarcazmo47: "I'm not using anything, Mister
Hunter. I love my daughter. And you are her
only hope."
Sarcazmo47:
((GUIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
IIIIIIIIILT!!!!! *shoots guilt rays at
Sopko*))
Adm H Sopko: "I'm supposed to feel guilty
now, is that it? Believe me, I do. However, I
still cannot bring myself to give you this rose."
Sarcazmo47: Rosa looks directly into his eyes.
"No?"
AndrewRogue: *looks at Hunter and begins to
speak, but stops*
Adm H Sopko: "Apparently our story has
circulated your circles. Then you know what
our mission is, what scale it is. You can
imagine the risk I'd be taking letting these
items fall out of my hands, the power one can
obtain with them."
Sarcazmo47: So you leave my daughter to her
fate?"
Adm H Sopko: "You are a Marquis. You make
decisions affecting how many people? It's an
even bigger scale here."
Sarcazmo47: Quietly. "Nothing is bigger to me
than my daughter." He looks at Aria. "Lady,
do you stand by your offer?"
Adm H Sopko: "You should be able to reason
it out. One girl vs. many. I am eternally sorry
for what I have decided, but I cannot agree to
this deal. The risk is too great"
AndrewRogue: *tightly* "I, I cannot do that
Hunter." *strained* "I stand by my decision."
Sarcazmo47: At that point, Rosa looks back at
Hunter. Make me a Will save, please.
Adm H Sopko: Oh please
Sarcazmo47: Hmm?
*OnlineHost*: Adm H Sopko rolled 1
20-sided die: 17
Adm H Sopko: 19
AndrewRogue: (Good calls me: 0 Good Calls
Soppy: 1 -_-)
Sarcazmo47: Okay. You feel nothing different.
SirAlextheFirst: You do not notice anything at
all, in fact.
SirAlextheFirst: Not even that you have made
a save.
Adm H Sopko: I figured
Adm H Sopko: I know
SirAlextheFirst: Just to clarify that, for some
folks.
Adm H Sopko: I remember that argument with
Gil
SirAlextheFirst: *glares at Gil, even though
he's not here*
Sarcazmo47: Dela Rosa stands up and looks
Hunter in the eye. "Sir, I am sorry. But I
must do this." He bows slightly. "Mister
Hunter, I challenge you to a duel."
Adm H Sopko: ::Looks right back up at him:: "I
decline."
AndrewRogue: *stands abruptly* "What?"
Adm H Sopko: ((Man I wish Gil were here)
AndrewRogue: (Heh heh heh, that would have
made this scene very different ^_^)
Sarcazmo47: As if he had not heard him, he
continues on. "The prize, if I win, will be your
Rose. Your prize, should you win, may be
selected from my estate."
Adm H Sopko: "I have no desire for anything
from your estate. If you know me as well as
you should, you'd know I have a very
comfortable life."
Sarcazmo47: Dela Rosa shakes his head. "You
cannot deny me this, Sopko. It is my honor
and my daughter at stake."
AndrewRogue: "No, it cannot be taken by
blood... Mister Dela Rosa..."
Adm H Sopko: ::Readies himself to push
backwards, in case a swing is made:: "I know
of your situation. And you know mine.
However, my choice has been made."
AndrewRogue: *grips the haft of her Guisarme,
realizing the precariousness of the situation*
Adm H Sopko: ((This is the time in RPGs
where a plot death would be possible<G>))
Sarcazmo47: He shoots a pained look at Aria.
"I have tried everything else, Lady. What
more can I do?"
Adm H Sopko: People shooting Aria all these
looks... poor girl
SirAlextheFirst: Give me Spot checks,
everyone.
AndrewRogue: "You musn't save your
daughter's life with another's blood. He
guards it for his own reasons, as important as
yours maybe..." (she's getting pelted with
looks >_<)
*OnlineHost*: AndrewRogue rolled 1
20-sided die: 2
*OnlineHost*: Adm H Sopko rolled 1
20-sided die: 11
AndrewRogue: -1!
Adm H Sopko: 17
Sarcazmo47: //roll -dice1 -sides20
*OnlineHost*: Sarcazmo47 rolled 1 20-sided
die: 11
AndrewRogue: Now, if I may ask, what does a
negative spot check constitute?
SirAlextheFirst: Heh. Though Aria is too
focused to notice it, the entire place has
cleaned out. The bartender's apron flaps
through the closing door.
Adm H Sopko: ::Blinks, looking around at the
empty room:: ~Not surprising, but still
unsettling~
Adm H Sopko: ~Even the bartender...~
AndrewRogue: "There must be another way
Mister Rosa... However, I cannot..." *tight*
"...allow this one."
Sarcazmo47: Dela Rosa steps back, looking at
Hunter. A pained look runs across his face,
but is quickly replaced by a very determined
one. He mutters a few words and makes a
gesture, and...time to roll initiatives. And
Sopko, roll another WS.
*OnlineHost*: Adm H Sopko rolled 1
20-sided die: 2
*OnlineHost*: AndrewRogue rolled 1
20-sided die: 19
Adm H Sopko: Oh fuck

die: 4
Adm H Sopko: 7 on init
*OnlineHost*: Adm H Sopko rolled 1
20-sided die: 19
Adm H Sopko: 21 on Will save
SirAlextheFirst: Aria first, then Vincent, then
Hunter.
Adm H Sopko: ::Notices the hand gesture
made, trying to get a handle on it:: Sense
motive?
SirAlextheFirst: Vincent gets opening round,
and gets his spell off.
Sarcazmo47: Umm, Hunter, you suddenly
realize that everything in the world is
absolutely hilarious and start laughing so hard
that you fall down and can't get up.
Adm H Sopko: 21 doesn't beat it?
SirAlextheFirst: Nope.
Adm H Sopko: Geez
SirAlextheFirst: Ironically enough.
AndrewRogue: "This is foolishness! Why...?"
*glares at Rosa*
Adm H Sopko: So if it were LOWER I'da been
fine?<G>
Sarcazmo47: ((You have a significant penalty
on your saves right now, actually.))
SirAlextheFirst: Aria is up first in the normal
round, then.
Adm H Sopko: Is it just physical, or can I think
normally?"
AndrewRogue: Arianna won't pull this punch. 4
off for power attack (+8 damage if I connect)
SirAlextheFirst: You can think normally, to an
extent.
Adm H Sopko: I'll send a shoutout to Brother
Joe then, if I can
SirAlextheFirst: Go for it, on your turn.
AndrewRogue: Attacking with Guisarme.
*OnlineHost*: AndrewRogue rolled 1
20-sided die: 13
AndrewRogue: 17
Sarcazmo47: Rosa rather nimbly steps out of
the way.
Sarcazmo47: He proceeds to draw his rapier,
take a five foot step back, and demand two
Will saves from you.
AndrewRogue: Well, I'm finished ^_^
Adm H Sopko: ::Unable to get up, and still
laughing, he tries to focus everything into his
mental processes, ignoring his physical state::
~Brother Joe... I've just been attacked by the
Marquis. I'm under some sort of spell...
We're at the
*OnlineHost*: AndrewRogue rolled 1
20-sided die: 5
*OnlineHost*: AndrewRogue rolled 1
20-sided die: 7
Adm H Sopko: My turn
AndrewRogue: 3 and 5
SirAlextheFirst: Ahem.
SirAlextheFirst: It is Vincent's turn, again, and
y'all need those double will saves.
Sarcazmo47: Yeah. You decide that Sopko is
right and join him on the floor.
Adm H Sopko: Wasn't the init Vincent, Aria,
me?
AndrewRogue: Aria, Vincent, j00
Sarcazmo47: Vincent spends his turn taking the
finger off the table and trying to search Sopko
for the crystal rose.
SirAlextheFirst: It goes (Vincent opening),
Aria, Vincent, Sopko, Aria, Vincent, Sopko,
etc.
Adm H Sopko: ::Spasms wildly, tossing and
turning and making it INCREDIBLY difficult
to search him::
AndrewRogue: (I despise Will Saves)
*OnlineHost*: Sarcazmo47 rolled 1 20-sided
die: 8
SirAlextheFirst: Now, Soppy's trying to get
some telepathy off.
SirAlextheFirst: I'll need a Concentration
check to do that under the effects of THL.
*OnlineHost*: Adm H Sopko rolled 1
20-sided die: 6
SirAlextheFirst: If you've no ranks in
Concentration, it's a Con check.
Adm H Sopko: ::Sighs:: 11
SirAlextheFirst: Considering factors, that's not
enough. All you can manage is <J... Joe...
HAHAHAHAAH> or a rough equivalent.
Adm H Sopko: Meh, good enough. Back to
spasming and tossing to prevent him from
stealing the rose
AndrewRogue: Back to, yeah, being useless
and giggling like a giddy schoolgirl <_<
SirAlextheFirst: Vincent's first round of
searching proves unfruitful. Soppy does his
telepathy thing, Aria giggles, and back to
Vincent.
*OnlineHost*: Sarcazmo47 rolled 1 20-sided
die: 15
SirAlextheFirst: And he goes deep... and
comes up with it!
Adm H Sopko: He'll have to take my entire
bag, really, since it was sealed up<G>
Adm H Sopko: Along with my wallet,
unfortunately
SirAlextheFirst: Soppy's got another round,
here.
Adm H Sopko: Will I need a concentration
check to try to wrap myself around his legs to
trip him?
SirAlextheFirst: No, you won't.
SirAlextheFirst: You'll need a miracle.
Adm H Sopko: Oh...
Adm H Sopko: Can I use my hero point to
break the spell?
*OnlineHost*: SirAlextheFirst rolled 1
999-sided die: 404
SirAlextheFirst: 404 error, miracle not found.
Adm H Sopko: How ironic
AndrewRogue: -_-
Adm H Sopko: ::Points to his previous
statement::
SirAlextheFirst: Yes, you can, for a single
round.
SirAlextheFirst: Do you really want to?
Adm H Sopko: Yes
SirAlextheFirst: All right, then. RP it.
AndrewRogue: BRB, if it really matters...
Adm H Sopko: ::Hunter gathers all his wits
together, and begins thinking of his mother's
death, Queklain's death, anything to stop him
from laughing. Suddenly, he snaps to it,
although to his pain. He draws both his
longsword and instead the
Adm H Sopko: white shortsword for his
offhand, slashing at man's legs while beaming
out the same message he did before not just
to Brother Joe, but to the entire telepathic
network::
AndrewRogue: (Back, if it matters)
SirAlextheFirst: Make the attack rolls.
Adm H Sopko: LS, SS
*OnlineHost*: Adm H Sopko rolled 2
20-sided dice: 15 19
Adm H Sopko: 20 on the Longsword, and
critical I believe on the shortsword
SirAlextheFirst: Critical threats aren't autohits
Adm H Sopko: Ah. Then...
SirAlextheFirst: Only a natural 20 is autohit.
Adm H Sopko: 23 on the SS
SirAlextheFirst: Both hit. Roll crit confirm.
*OnlineHost*: Adm H Sopko rolled 1
20-sided die: 13
Adm H Sopko: 17
SirAlextheFirst: I'll have to check that.
Adm H Sopko: I don't think it is
Adm H Sopko: The same modifiers for the
to-hit are used for the crit confirm, right?
SirAlextheFirst: Yes.
Adm H Sopko: Then yeah, 17
Adm H Sopko: And Aria missed on 17
SirAlextheFirst: Argh. I think Kirk's gone.
Adm H Sopko: Ugh
AndrewRogue: >_<
SirAlextheFirst: You're using a hero point,
which nulls penalties and most modifiers.
Adm H Sopko: Oh...
Adm H Sopko: Then man...
Adm H Sopko: The to hits and confirm at much
higher
SirAlextheFirst: ?
Adm H Sopko: I think I'm an idiot
Adm H Sopko: What size is a shortsword?
AndrewRogue: Small
SirAlextheFirst: These are medium.
SirAlextheFirst: They're not quite shortswords.
Adm H Sopko: Ah
SirAlextheFirst: I wrote up the stats on all the
elemental stuff. Perhaps this is a good time to
post it. Or not.
AndrewRogue: Yeah, it might be nice to see
since we're waiting. Or stalled.
Adm H Sopko: Yeah... post'em up
SirAlextheFirst: Very well.
Adm H Sopko: I hope the white one does Holy
damage
SirAlextheFirst: All the armors protect from
normal physical blows as normal Scale Mail.
SirAlextheFirst: Green Armor: Acid
resistance 10, +4 to saves vs acid-based
things, Complete immunity to poisons, fungal
ailments, and the like, and Protection from
Plants.
SirAlextheFirst: Wearer takes double damage
from cold and dark/evil energy, suffers double
energy/life drain effects, and gets -4 on saves
to resist these.
SirAlextheFirst: Red Armor: Fire resistance
10, +4 on saves against fire or heat based
effects, complete immunity to normal heat,
wearer is unaffected by illusion spells, and
Protection from Law.
SirAlextheFirst: Wearer takes double damage
from cold and holy energy, and gets -4 on
saves against abilities of those types.
SirAlextheFirst: Black Armor: Evil resistance
10, +4 on saves against evil and negative
energy abilities, Protection from Undead,
wearer is immune to energy and life drains,
SirAlextheFirst: and can see in darkness, even
magical darkness, as though it was clear as
day. Wearer takes double damage from holy
and acid energy, and gets -4 on saves against
holy, acid, and poisons.
SirAlextheFirst: Blue Armor: Cold resistance
10, +4 on saves against cold, immunity to
normal cold temperatures, grants Freedom of
Movement underwater, wearer does not
suffer from oxygen deprivation
SirAlextheFirst: (which means they can
breathe underwater, effectively, but are not
immune to air-dispersed poisons or such).
Wearer takes double damage from fire/heat
and acid and has -4 on saves against fire,
acid, and poisons.
SirAlextheFirst: White Armor: Holy resistance
10, +4 on saves against holy-elemental
effects, wearer is immune to mind-affecting
abilities.
SirAlextheFirst: Wearer takes double damage
from and has -4 on saves against fire, heat,
evil and negative energy, and life/energy
drains.
AndrewRogue: Oh figures I should have put
the white armor on <_<
SirAlextheFirst: All the swords are
medium-size, deal 1d6 physical + 1d3
elemental damage, threaten a critical on
18-20, and have the following special effect
on a critical hit. DCs are 15.
SirAlextheFirst: Green: Acid elemental.
SirAlextheFirst: On critical, target must make
a Fort save or have a plant begin growing in
the wound, affecting the nervous system and
causing their movements to be reversed (fun
fun times). This effect lasts 3 rounds.
SirAlextheFirst: Red: Fire elemental. On
critical, target makes reflex save or catches on
fire, which works as per normal rules for
being on fire, but deals double normal
damage.
SirAlextheFirst: Black: Dark/evil elemental.
On critical, target makes a Fort save or
suffers an additional 3d4 draining damage,
which the wielder absorbs as life. This effect
is reversed against undead, however.
SirAlextheFirst: Blue: Cold elemental. On
critical, target makes a reflex save or is
Slowed, as per the spell, for 2d4 rounds.
SirAlextheFirst: White: Holy elemental. On
critical, target makes a will save - if they fail,
they are Dominated by the wielder of the
sword for one round, as per the spells but
without the ability to resist any action save
outright suicide.
SirAlextheFirst: End.
Adm H Sopko: ...
Adm H Sopko: PLEASE be critical
AndrewRogue: I really wish I had put that
white armor on. -_-
SirAlextheFirst: You want it to be critical,
AND for him to fail the DC 15 will save.
SirAlextheFirst: And to be able to stop him in
that one round of domination.
Adm H Sopko: Or else?
SirAlextheFirst: *shrug* Or else things
continue, and you've wasted a Hero POint.
And made him angrier.
Adm H Sopko: Well... I did send a clear
telepathic message out
SirAlextheFirst: I can tell you right now, the
damage, even on critical, isn't going to help
ya.
Adm H Sopko: Jeez... how strong is he?
SirAlextheFirst: As for the telepathic
message... you got it off a few rounds before
the THL wears off and you can do it
anyways. Not really a big deal.
Adm H Sopko: ::Hoping due to his message
Throkk, Glasya, Brother Joe and the Gabriel
Brigade burst in::
AndrewRogue: *giggles*
SirAlextheFirst: Kirk's alive.
SirAlextheFirst: But busy.
Adm H Sopko: Whats the multiplier on the
critical damage>?
SirAlextheFirst: Ah, forgot that. x2.
Adm H Sopko: ::Hopes for max damage::
SirAlextheFirst: Go ahead and roll your
damages, those won't change in any case.
Adm H Sopko: If I told him he doesn't want to
rose, would that affect him forever, or just
during the time I dominate him
Adm H Sopko: Longsword
SirAlextheFirst: Just the round.
*OnlineHost*: Adm H Sopko rolled 1 8-sided
die: 8
Adm H Sopko: 11
SirAlextheFirst: The dominate effect is really
meant to make them fight on your side for a
round, and give you a bit of leeway. You'd
best get real creative real fast...
Adm H Sopko: Wait... he's half-elf, right?
Adm H Sopko: Half elf half human?
SirAlextheFirst: This is true.
Adm H Sopko: Would I get half a bonus?
SirAlextheFirst: Do you have favored enemy -
Half-elves?
Adm H Sopko: No. Favored enemy humans
SirAlextheFirst: That's what I remembered.
No, no bonus.
Chromeus18 has left the room.
Adm H Sopko: Bah. 9 then
Adm H Sopko: SS
SirAlextheFirst: In fact, HE gets a racial bonus
to the will save, if it's a critical.
AndrewRogue: *facepalm*
*OnlineHost*: Adm H Sopko rolled 1
20-sided die: 16
Adm H Sopko: Oops
Sarcazmo47: SORRY SORRY!
*OnlineHost*: Adm H Sopko rolled 1 6-sided

Sarcazmo47: Back!
SirAlextheFirst: No prob, just glad you're
back.
Sarcazmo47: Allright, now, what'd I miss?
AndrewRogue: No problem. Good to see you
again.
SirAlextheFirst: I thought you got disgusted
and walked out.
SirAlextheFirst: :-)
Adm H Sopko: That'd be a 5
SirAlextheFirst: Anyways.
Adm H Sopko: and elemental
*OnlineHost*: Adm H Sopko rolled 1 3-sided

Adm H Sopko: now riggity-roll for that will

Sarcazmo47: Can someone give me a short
recap of what the hell happened?
Adm H Sopko: I bitchslapped your spell for the
round and attacked, getting off a clear
message to all my allies
Sarcazmo47: Nicely done. I'm not familiar with
Hero Point effects. Now then, this dominate
effect, is it a spell or spell-like effect?
SirAlextheFirst: It is. You do get your racial
bonus to the save... if you have to make it.
I'm still unsure on the attack bonuses here.
*OnlineHost*: Sarcazmo47 rolled 1 20-sided
die: 11
Adm H Sopko: Ah damnit
SirAlextheFirst: Without considering any
penalties, Soppy, your crit confirm was a 17,
right?
Adm H Sopko: Without ANY penalties?
SirAlextheFirst: You didn't put any in, right?
Aside the two weapon fighting?
Adm H Sopko: Right. with penalties, it was 17
Adm H Sopko: With TWF penalties, I mean
AndrewRogue: (*prod* lag out for me again?)
SirAlextheFirst: Anyways.
AndrewRogue: (nope ^_^)
Sarcazmo47: Umm, roll normal damge for both
hits, please.
SirAlextheFirst: No crit. Damage was rolled
already, 16.
SirAlextheFirst: And it ends.
Sarcazmo47: Ah. Allrighty. And, after this
amazing feat, the man promptly goes back to
laughing like a madman again?
SirAlextheFirst: Sopko falls back down
laughing.
SirAlextheFirst: Yep.
Adm H Sopko: I never got up
Adm H Sopko: I was hacking at his legs
Adm H Sopko: Have fun limping, if you can't
heal. We'll follow your bloodtrail back to ya
Sarcazmo47: Well, consider them hacked. Not
hacked enough to keep him from booking for
the exit though, rose and finger tucked into a
pocket.
Adm H Sopko: And now the Temple of
Gabriel, Throkk and everyone knows your
name =-)
Adm H Sopko: Well, when do we recover?
SirAlextheFirst: In.... 2 more rounds.
Adm H Sopko: Well, he left, so... times up I
guess
SirAlextheFirst: He's gone by that time.
Adm H Sopko: Yep
SirAlextheFirst: Let's end here.
Adm H Sopko: ::Boots the RP in the throat::
Adm H Sopko: I ended it alright =-)
Sarcazmo47: I'm not the DM, but if I were, I'd
say mad XP for the both of you is due.
Adm H Sopko: Using the hero point... stupid,
yes. But I definately would've done it anyway
AndrewRogue: That... was kind of a long
session -_- When the hell do you guys sleep?
Adm H Sopko: Even if I knew I'd deal no
damage
Adm H Sopko: I never do
Adm H Sopko: ::Insomniac, almost::
Sarcazmo47: Oh, when I get around to it.
AndrewRogue: Ah, that would explain it. I'm
going to have a serious migraine tomorrow
^_~
Adm H Sopko: C'mon, baby! Poppa needs
3300 XP!<G>
SirAlextheFirst: Soppy, can you save the log?
Adm H Sopko: Sure
Adm H Sopko: This will be... BIG news to
everyone
Adm H Sopko: And they'll kick themselves for
leaving/not being here
AndrewRogue: Gil will be bubbling with joy
^_^
Sarcazmo47: Who is gil, if I may ask?
Adm H Sopko: ::Cries:: I was going to give the
rose to my lady love... whoever it turned out
to be
Adm H Sopko: You are SO dead, if I get the
chance
SirAlextheFirst: Gil is the Child Abuse for Fun
and Profit PC.
Sarcazmo47: Oh, that guy.
Sarcazmo47: Who, me?
AndrewRogue: I was trying to be a good
person ;_; But my mark, my sign of being a
hero... *breaks down and cries*
Sarcazmo47: *looks innocent*
Adm H Sopko: Hunter's gonna have to console
Aria ain't he?
Sarcazmo47: Hey now, he really was trying to
save his daughter, you know. Is he really that
much of a bad guy?
Adm H Sopko: Umm... in my book, yes
AndrewRogue: Tough call, tough call...
Sarcazmo47: Well, I'll remember that if I ever
have a daughter. :-P
SirAlextheFirst: *adds things up*
SirAlextheFirst: 7 AM.
SirAlextheFirst: Wow.
Adm H Sopko: Yep
Adm H Sopko: ::Bows::
AndrewRogue: 5 AM for me -_-
Sarcazmo47: Me too.
Adm H Sopko: Almost 8 AM for me
SirAlextheFirst: I told ya, Andrew, the best
RPing happens late.
SirAlextheFirst: REALLY late.
SirAlextheFirst: Anyways.
Adm H Sopko: XP?<G>
AndrewRogue: Heh. Sadly I'll only be able to
do this on the weekends when school starts
here again.
Adm H Sopko: No Mondays?
SirAlextheFirst: 1250 XP for the both of you.
Adm H Sopko: YES
AndrewRogue: I'll b able to play, just not till 5
in the morning ^_^
Adm H Sopko: Can we round that to 1300? I
hate dealing with 50s<G>
SirAlextheFirst: No.
Adm H Sopko: Aww... ::shuffles his feet::
Sarcazmo47: So, guys! You made a new
friend!
Adm H Sopko: And I'll be sure to remember
him<G>
Sarcazmo47: And Aria, you can blame Hunter
for missing your opportunity to get hit on by
nobility.
Adm H Sopko: ::Hopefully will be able to
follow the blood trail::
AndrewRogue: :p How dare you doubt her
pure intentions.
Adm H Sopko: And she's 16<G>
Sarcazmo47: Hey, his wife died some times
ago. He's lonely. :-P
AndrewRogue: 17 damnit :p
Adm H Sopko: Heh
SirAlextheFirst: Commence the comments,
bashing, etc.
SirAlextheFirst: Questions, too.
Sarcazmo47: Oh, the blood trail stops at the
door, by the way.
Adm H Sopko: I loved it... though I am VERY
PISSED
SirAlextheFirst: And make it fast. I need
sleep. :P
Adm H Sopko: Okay... the bloodtrail stopping
there just... wow...
AndrewRogue: Totally awesome, except for
that 15 minutes or so that I dozed off <_<
Adm H Sopko: Hunter has never been this
angry before
Sarcazmo47: Of course, you know the guy's
name, so it shouldn't be too hard to ask
around about his estate.
Adm H Sopko: Even after his mother died.
SirAlextheFirst: You didn't do too horribly
badly for taking on someone with a lot more
resources than yourself.
Adm H Sopko: Yeah, I gathered that
SirAlextheFirst: ... well, okay, you kinda did,
but it looked cool.
AndrewRogue: To reiterate, I hate Will saves. I
think I may take my chances with that damn
White Armor. But, yeah, that guy caught me
way off guard. I thought he was a fighter
initally. >_<
Adm H Sopko: Nah. Not TOO horribly
badly... Horribly badly would be not putting
up any fight and doing absolutely nothing and
taking it lying down like a bitch
Sarcazmo47: He is. Sort of.
Adm H Sopko: Hunter did something, at
least<G>
SirAlextheFirst: It was kinda funny how you
missed both crucial saves by 1.
AndrewRogue: Uh, for the most part, I did
that. Albeit a rather giddy bitch, but still <_<
Adm H Sopko: I consider it a hero point well
spent, even if no one else does
AndrewRogue: Nah, you used it for what it
was meant, being heroic.
SirAlextheFirst: Quite so.
SirAlextheFirst: The entire purpose of hero
points is to enable crazy awesome stuff like
getting that critical and stopping him. .......
enable, but not guarantee.
Adm H Sopko: I tried
Adm H Sopko: ::Goes to fight another
dracoroach to get another one::
AndrewRogue: At least you hit him :p
Adm H Sopko: With both weapons<G>
Adm H Sopko: One for max damage<G>
AndrewRogue: I basically sliced that damn
floor up. ^_^ Stupid floor.
Adm H Sopko: If the blood trail really stops at
the door... I'll be pissed
Sarcazmo47: Hey, if he'd failed that will save,
you would have had a shot. He only had a
...uh....+14 modifier against it.
Sarcazmo47: Yes, it really stops at the door.
Adm H Sopko: ...
AndrewRogue: *bangs his head on the table*
Adm H Sopko: Excuse me... ::Walks into a
private room. Much screaming is heard and
he breaks several chairs and tables::
SirAlextheFirst: And just think, you get to
explain this to Jerry now.
Adm H Sopko: And Jac
SirAlextheFirst: Not to mention Gil and
Adora.
SirAlextheFirst: Poor llamas.
AndrewRogue: And Popi ^_^
Adm H Sopko: It's all their fault
Adm H Sopko: He took my damn wallet too
Sarcazmo47: Your wallet?
Sarcazmo47: You find your bag at the door
too, with everything in it except the rose.
SirAlextheFirst: (nonpresent PCs are
llamafied, as per Vampire. If they have to
leave in the middle of a fight, they'll keep
going on DM AI, but otherwise, just plain
sitting around,
SirAlextheFirst: and assumed to suffer the
same fates as the rest of the party.
Adm H Sopko: The rose was in a very tightly
sealed, medium sized traveling bag thats held
tightly to my side, which contained the rose,
my wallet+Yarovan ID, and my trading
passports
Sarcazmo47: Well, you find all of those minus
the rose scattered on the ground by the door.
Sarcazmo47: The bag itself is ripped open/
Adm H Sopko: I really hope this isn't leading to
something that'll cause global destruction
Sarcazmo47: *grin*
Adm H Sopko: I read you perfectly, didn't
I?<G>
Sarcazmo47: You'd like to think so, wouldn't
you?
Adm H Sopko: No...
SirAlextheFirst: It might be.
Adm H Sopko: More trouble for us if I did
SirAlextheFirst: Or maybe not.
SirAlextheFirst: Y'all have some choices to
make about what to do now.
AndrewRogue: And I, true to character, read
you like the original version of Three
Kingdoms ^_^
Adm H Sopko: Pursue the cultists or pursue
him?
Sarcazmo47: You read him as a desperate man
who wanted to save his daughter.
Sarcazmo47: And that's how he acted.
Adm H Sopko: I'm more worried about the
alchemist who told him that, or where he got
the information
Sarcazmo47: Durst I point out that you, the
good party, attempted to deal leathal wounds
to the man when he made no effort to do the
same thing to you?
Adm H Sopko: Being attacked is being
attacked at this point, for Hunter
Sarcazmo47: :-P
Adm H Sopko: After the wierd crap thats gone
on, he's not taking chances when someone
makes a hostile action to him
AndrewRogue: Yup, I know. Arianna
panic-reacted to your spell. :p
Sarcazmo47: Well. He's bleeding, and neither
of you are feeling any pain except maybe that
ache from when you've been laughing too
hard.
Adm H Sopko: Good. I hope he likes to bleed
Sarcazmo47: You really hate this guy that
much?
SirAlextheFirst: You could chase Vincent
himself, or try to track his network and
backers (assuming they exist), or forget him
for now.
Adm H Sopko: Assuming the others went
through what we did, Jac and Nash will want
to pursue
Adm H Sopko: Hunter sure as hell does.
Adm H Sopko: Aria?
AndrewRogue: She'll probably want to see him
again.
Adm H Sopko: Poor Jerry... doing that
research for nada
Adm H Sopko: BTW, what will everyone's
responses be?
Sarcazmo47: Well Vincent's response will be,
"I want a scone."
AndrewRogue: Jac: Son and Daughter of Man,
you are teh suxxorz. ^_^
Adm H Sopko: Jac went under the spell, as per
the Llama rule
Adm H Sopko: I mean the responses to the
message I sent out telepathically
SirAlextheFirst: Jac and Adora, per the llama
rule, stayed with Jerry.
Adm H Sopko: Oh...
SirAlextheFirst: Because an important part of
the llama rule is that the lllamas do what's
convenient for the DM.
SirAlextheFirst: :P
SirAlextheFirst: And having them be there and
get hit with the spell really would not make
sense.
Adm H Sopko: Nash went under though
SirAlextheFirst: Nash can work.
Adm H Sopko: Yeah, since they're elves and all
SirAlextheFirst: Two more people stretches
credibility.
Sarcazmo47: Or, perhaps, Narsh ran off with
the rest of the barfolk.
Sarcazmo47: Nash, even.
SirAlextheFirst: That may also have happened.
SirAlextheFirst: We'll work it out with Popi.
Adm H Sopko: Would Nash really do
that?<G>
SirAlextheFirst: He might.
SirAlextheFirst: Being evil and all.
Sarcazmo47: He's a rogue. Why does he do
anything?
SirAlextheFirst: Not that you'd know it from
how he stops muggers, though.
Sarcazmo47: With vicious poking?
SirAlextheFirst: I wasn't anticipating him to
fight em. Glad I got stats anyhow.
Adm H Sopko: Heh
AndrewRogue: Yay for Alex!
Adm H Sopko: Bah... I'm gonna be fucking
anxious for the next game
AndrewRogue: Same here.
Sarcazmo47: *grin* Then my job here is done.
SirAlextheFirst: Everybody say thanks to Kirk
Adm H Sopko: Thanks Kirk
SirAlextheFirst: Thank you, Kirk!
Sarcazmo47: Thanks to Kirk!
AndrewRogue: Thank you Kirk! <3
Adm H Sopko: Fuck you Marquis
Sarcazmo47: *laughs*
Adm H Sopko: =-)
AndrewRogue: lol
SirAlextheFirst: And with that, I must vanish.
Sarcazmo47: Don't worry. I'll be back, if you
kids decide to go after him.
Adm H Sopko: ::Casts a magic spell on Alex::
Sarcazmo47: Night, Alex, m'boy.
SirAlextheFirst: *gains perfect phys evade but
loses death immunity*
SirAlextheFirst has left the room.
Sarcazmo47: So. Did you guys have a good
time?
Sarcazmo47: Or did I suck it up?
