(11:16:49 PM) You have just entered room "AND Maze of Freakness."
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:16:53 PM): Oops.
AndrewRogue (11:16:59 PM): *changes font to Arianna pink*
AndrewRogue (11:19:03 PM): *sits in the really silent room and hums to himself*
yummeiness (11:19:04 PM): Are we going to RP?
SirAlextheFirst (11:19:24 PM): Ah...
SirAlextheFirst (11:19:28 PM): Yeees.
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:19:34 PM): Someone fill her in.
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:19:35 PM): Now.
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:19:43 PM): *glares at others* ;_;
AndrewRogue (11:19:48 PM): ...er, someone who's not me <_<
Adm H Sopko (11:20:31 PM): We are in an Alex maaze
yummeiness (11:20:38 PM): maze?
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:20:47 PM): Well, let me explain.
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:20:55 PM): We went into the bandit's hideout.
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:21:08 PM): Got freaked out by the little crazy HUNTER-girl whom was there.
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:21:14 PM): Ran like little bitches.
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:21:24 PM): Tried the one door we didn't try in the place yet.
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:21:38 PM): And ended up going into...Bizarro-land.
yummeiness (11:21:42 PM): ...... You know,
SirAlextheFirst (11:21:51 PM): .... errr....
yummeiness (11:21:52 PM): I really hate to say this.
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:21:54 PM): I'm trying my best. ;_;
SirAlextheFirst (11:22:10 PM): There are still two doors y'all haven't gone into
SirAlextheFirst (11:22:24 PM): And you have no solid proof that Marion is here.
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:22:38 PM): Other than that we mostly saw her and heard her?
AndrewRogue (11:22:50 PM): Oh, this is the part where I nearly died to Evil Suede and the exponenetially increasing damage dice of doom!! </exciteable>
SirAlextheFirst (11:23:06 PM): Uh... you saw an image of one Hunter-creature.
Adm H Sopko (11:23:07 PM): Jerry better get his dwarven ass here fast
yummeiness (11:23:09 PM): I think you should just put Ally into ghost mode, because I don't want her to die... But , seriously, i can't keep up. I missed SO many sessions, and IF i getrecaps at all, they're possibly even more VAGUE than gils (*hug* dear, its
yummeiness (11:23:15 PM): fine its not your fault you're vague)
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:23:27 PM): (-_-i)
SirAlextheFirst (11:23:27 PM): And heard things in your head that sounded like things Marion might say.
AndrewRogue (11:23:32 PM): And Hunter nearly died to the evil Shadow lovingly chewing on his head!
SirAlextheFirst (11:23:56 PM): Who the heck is Ally?
yummeiness (11:24:06 PM): -.- ADora
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:24:11 PM): Heh.
yummeiness (11:24:18 PM): Forgive me. I had a shitty D&D session earlier with Alethea
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:24:19 PM): Beth has Ally on the mind.
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:24:30 PM): Aye. Poor Ally got frosted. ;_;
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:24:46 PM): Now Saint needs to try and save her before that 1 last precious HP before death is gone.
yummeiness (11:24:51 PM): -9HP leaving you hanging inthe middle of a battle with a rail roading NONDESCRIPTIVE moron, is kinda aggrivating, ya know?
yummeiness (11:25:01 PM): *clears throat*
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:25:06 PM): ;_;
AndrewRogue (11:25:15 PM): Ouch
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:25:26 PM): Well, tell Kultra to be more descriptive? >_>
SirAlextheFirst (11:25:41 PM): So.
yummeiness (11:25:47 PM): I try. But I mean. "Oh, and make 3 will saves while nothing is apparently happening to you"
SirAlextheFirst (11:25:48 PM): Sorry I haven't been around more.
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:25:59 PM): Alex>?
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:26:01 PM): *?
SirAlextheFirst (11:26:03 PM): Kirk won't be joining us any longer.
SirAlextheFirst (11:26:09 PM): Eh what?
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:26:11 PM): Can you *please* adaquitly fill in Beth?
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:26:18 PM): And my spelling sucks. >_>
SirAlextheFirst (11:26:32 PM): Certainly.
SirAlextheFirst (11:26:37 PM): Major recap:
AndrewRogue (11:26:45 PM): ...well, so much for Hunter needing to give Aria the talk...
yummeiness (11:26:47 PM): nono. wait a moment. From the begining
SirAlextheFirst (11:26:58 PM): From the VERY beginning?
yummeiness (11:27:05 PM): From like, when the guys met. how they met, etc.
yummeiness (11:27:11 PM): Just breifly explain
yummeiness (11:27:21 PM): I just know Jac invited himself. whee. the others?
SirAlextheFirst (11:28:50 PM): Hunter Sopko, Jerriford, Queklain, and the rest of the original party were called together by some strange dreams and visions they each had.
SirAlextheFirst (11:29:24 PM): All the dreams/visions involved five dots or points of light in a pentagon shape.
Adm H Sopko (11:30:11 PM): ::Never had a dream or a vision::
SirAlextheFirst (11:30:23 PM): They met with each other at the Temple of Gabriel in Asgard, where they agreed to all band together and help a caravan journey from the temple to Mortok, in the land of Penobscot.
SirAlextheFirst (11:30:35 PM): Yes, yes, everyone's experience was somewhat different.
SirAlextheFirst (11:31:17 PM): An amnesiac girl was also there with them, and Brother Joe couldn't help her memory loss.
SirAlextheFirst (11:32:18 PM): While the caravan was traveling, the girl began playing a strange song on her flute, and then some mounted archers who were invisible when not close up attacked the caravan.
SirAlextheFirst (11:32:28 PM): These archers also hummed the song the girl was playing.
SirAlextheFirst (11:32:46 PM): They were defeated, but the caravan driver, an odd man named Called, was killed.
SirAlextheFirst (11:33:43 PM): The party found out that the caravan was carrying lots and lots of corpses, which were well preserved.
SirAlextheFirst (11:34:26 PM): Upon arriving, they also were told that Called was an avatar/servant of Gabriel, much like Sir Throkk is to Tiyreal.
SirAlextheFirst (11:35:05 PM): Called's suspicious death put the party in some trouble, so they decided to try and track down Sir Throkk and find out what was going on.
SirAlextheFirst (11:35:51 PM): They took another caravan job going northwards to Kunta, near Sithicus, because they'd heard about strange attacks on caravans going that way.
SirAlextheFirst (11:36:37 PM): Sure enough, the caravan was attacked by a large group of bandits carrying distinctive axes, and also some more archers who were humming that same tune.
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:37:09 PM): (brb.)
AndrewRogue (11:37:11 PM): (Oooh, hence the name Hummers!)
SirAlextheFirst (11:37:15 PM): The party defeated the bandits and Hummers, as they called them now, and some very odd creatures appeared to help mop up.
SirAlextheFirst (11:38:07 PM): These creatures were humanoid, but had no facial features, twisted smooth bodies with sharp edges, and skin that looked like obsidian and seemed about that hard to break.
SirAlextheFirst (11:38:44 PM): They killed the remaining bandits mercilessly, sparing only one Hummer at the party's request, then talked to the party using telepathy of sorts.
SirAlextheFirst (11:39:13 PM): According to the creatures, they were called HUNTERs, and their duty was "To protect the peace of this world."
SirAlextheFirst (11:39:57 PM): One of the HUNTERs confronted Queklain, who scoffed at their dedication, and tried to break his treasured crystal rose.
yummeiness (11:40:15 PM): Oh dear God. Gorth and his roses.
SirAlextheFirst (11:40:30 PM): The rose's sharpness cut the creature's hand badly, and all the HUNTERs left immediately.
SirAlextheFirst (11:40:58 PM): The captured Hummer tore out a vein in its arm with its teeth and died.
SirAlextheFirst (11:41:07 PM): Its corpse promptly vanished.
SirAlextheFirst (11:41:48 PM): Hunter Sopko and Queklain had a yaoirific talk, and Queklain gave the crystal rose to Hunter.
SirAlextheFirst (11:42:45 PM): Hunter noticed that the rose had a slight purple tint, as the HUNTER's blood had been bright violet in color.
SirAlextheFirst (11:43:18 PM): The caravan moved on, and the party decided to ride south back to Asgard.
SirAlextheFirst (11:43:48 PM): On the way, they met a group of people who appeared similar to the bandits who had attacked them.
AndrewRogue (11:43:53 PM): (Yaoirific eh?)
yummeiness (11:44:13 PM): Still it doesn't change the fact that I have missed a LOT of sessions. I will be missing ALL of mondays sessions. Period. and friday sessions. Or, saturday sessions, are 6:45 to 7AM ,when I feel drained and unable to grasp such
yummeiness (11:44:19 PM): long complicated things, such as this.
SirAlextheFirst (11:44:22 PM): Even though these people were not violent, refusing to even defend themselves, Jerriford and Queklain attacked them, and Queklain killed several.
SirAlextheFirst (11:45:35 PM): The survivors informed the Asgard border guards, and the party was stopped and arrested when Queklain gave them lip.
yummeiness (11:45:37 PM): Alex, I really enjoy your DMing style. Soppy, you're a wonderful RPer, and I love Jacynth the manwhore to death.
yummeiness (11:45:44 PM): But.
AndrewRogue (11:46:01 PM): (... *feels totally unloved now* ...)
AndrewRogue (11:46:10 PM): (^_~)
yummeiness (11:46:24 PM): Andrew's character is just weird, and jerriford is. well jerri is a dwrf. what can I say.
yummeiness (11:46:29 PM): :-P
yummeiness (11:46:30 PM): hehe
SirAlextheFirst (11:47:10 PM): So, you are leaving us?
yummeiness (11:47:16 PM): I'm just not liking that I feel like I'm holding the group up. Always in ghost mode. I've been playing this character for what? 6 months? 8 months? I haven't gained a level, since, I haven't been able to play
yummeiness (11:47:28 PM): Yeah, I have to. I'm sorry :-\
AndrewRogue (11:47:37 PM): (*sighs* Aww ;_;-)
AndrewRogue (11:47:42 PM): ... ;_;
yummeiness (11:48:09 PM): ;_; I know. It sucks so bad. I dun wanna leave. But I couldn't do anything anyway. I even entered the game equipment and moneyless :-)
yummeiness (11:48:15 PM): My mistake, of course
yummeiness (11:48:39 PM): But, I wish Adora to stay in ghost mode. A shadow to Jacynth. If that is okay.
SirAlextheFirst (11:48:48 PM): That's perfectly fine.
yummeiness (11:48:55 PM): However. I'm too tired to contemplate how battles will go, etc.
AndrewRogue (11:48:59 PM): (*would point out Aria just recieved a large windfall that could be donated to her*)
yummeiness (11:49:31 PM): *hugs all around* sorry for holdin up the game folks. Night. I'll check in from time to time on you all.
(11:49:43 PM) yummeiness has left the room.
AndrewRogue (11:49:48 PM): (Awww... we're losing players left and right ;_; )
SirAlextheFirst (11:50:23 PM): Well... that sucks. Sad to see her go.
AndrewRogue (11:50:40 PM): So am I. She was fun when she was here.
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:51:26 PM): ;_;\
SirAlextheFirst (11:51:32 PM): Indeed.
SirAlextheFirst (11:51:42 PM): Can't say I didn't see it coming, but still....
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:52:03 PM): ;_;
SirAlextheFirst (11:52:20 PM): Well.
SirAlextheFirst (11:52:40 PM): Should I continue the massive recap, or not?
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:52:54 PM): *sadness* Damnit. >_
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:52:57 PM): Continue if you wish.
Adm H Sopko (11:52:58 PM): We're good...
AndrewRogue (11:53:00 PM): ...well, I see no real reason unless Soppy or Gil wants. ;_;
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:53:03 PM): If not, let's play.
Adm H Sopko (11:53:18 PM): We're screwed... we have no healers at the moment
SirAlextheFirst (11:53:36 PM): Oh, yeah
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:53:43 PM): Take it like a man!
SirAlextheFirst (11:53:43 PM): Kirk won't be joining us anymore.
Adm H Sopko (11:54:00 PM): Saw that before...
AndrewRogue (11:54:02 PM): ... ... ... we seem to be becoming a real small group here.
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:54:18 PM): (-_-i)
(11:54:33 PM) JeissFiesm has entered the room.
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:54:34 PM): Well....We could always try and pull in more PC's. =/
SirAlextheFirst (11:54:38 PM): I'm always up for new people if you know folk who want to join
SirAlextheFirst (11:54:44 PM): Like this here man
JeissFiesm (11:54:56 PM): I have someone on right now who no doubt would be interested in joiining as well.
Adm H Sopko (11:55:15 PM): We're kinda in the wrong spot for people to join us at the moment... unless someone wants to play a character lost in limbo who'll join up mid-dungeon
SirAlextheFirst (11:55:25 PM): This is true.
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:55:35 PM): As long as they play a hardcore healer, does it matter? >_>
SirAlextheFirst (11:55:46 PM): Bandon will stay with y'all.
Adm H Sopko (11:55:51 PM): We need a Jerry character
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:55:59 PM): We need a....
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:56:01 PM): A mage.
Adm H Sopko (11:56:03 PM): Tank healer<G>
SirAlextheFirst (11:56:19 PM): We need people who will actually show up for sessions.
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:56:27 PM): I'm always here. (-_-i)
Adm H Sopko (11:56:30 PM): Anyone I know, JF?
AndrewRogue (11:56:35 PM): I am too <_<
SirAlextheFirst (11:56:42 PM): I mean, geez. I thought I was bad when I had to cancel and reschedule a few.
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:57:15 PM): Well, it's hard to find people who play on our hours.
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:57:29 PM): Okay, lemme rephrase that.
AndrewRogue (11:57:35 PM): *sighs, considering these are the only hours he can actually manage*
SirAlextheFirst (11:57:48 PM): True.
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:57:48 PM): It's hard to find good people who play on our hours, besides us.
SirAlextheFirst (11:57:54 PM): Very true.
SirAlextheFirst (11:58:15 PM): And you need to stay late more often. *kicks Gil in the head* :P
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:58:20 PM): Hey!
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:58:26 PM): I'm on this thing all day, dudes.
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:58:34 PM): I've been online since 12 noon. o_o
SirAlextheFirst (11:58:40 PM): I know
SirAlextheFirst (11:58:55 PM): These are the only hours I can manage.
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:59:01 PM): I know.
SirAlextheFirst (11:59:07 PM): College sucks like that.
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:59:18 PM): I don't complain (much), do I? I still play as long as I can manage.
AndrewRogue (11:59:29 PM): *huggles Alex for playing when he can*
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:59:32 PM): And yes indeed, college does suck.
MysteryGiIgamesh (12:00:00 AM): All of the games Beth was in just suddenly dried up and are all trying to be crammed into weekends 'cause they all want to keep her as a player. X_x
(12:00:20 AM) ForceJedi2001 has entered the room.
Adm H Sopko (12:00:25 AM): DRAKE!
ForceJedi2001 (12:00:26 AM): Hello.
ForceJedi2001 (12:00:31 AM): Whoa hey;-)
AndrewRogue (12:00:33 AM): Hi guy I don't know.
SirAlextheFirst (12:00:38 AM): Greetings, friend of Soppy and JF.
ForceJedi2001 (12:00:47 AM): I know you alex, I think
ForceJedi2001 (12:00:57 AM): That name is familiar
MysteryGiIgamesh (12:01:13 AM): Well, a player is a player. Glad to have anyone. X_x
JeissFiesm (12:01:27 AM): I reached a new plateau in online gaming..
MysteryGiIgamesh (12:01:38 AM): You've become one with the orc peon?
JeissFiesm (12:01:44 AM): Successfully hooked a large screen television into my PC.
MysteryGiIgamesh (12:01:44 AM): /zen meditation
MysteryGiIgamesh (12:01:51 AM): Yay?
JeissFiesm (12:01:53 AM): So I can chat from the couch. And watch picture in picture.
SirAlextheFirst (12:01:58 AM): Huh. It's possible, I suppose. Welcome to our little house of insanity.
JeissFiesm (12:02:55 AM): Heh..oh what fun to laugh and play...
AndrewRogue (12:02:55 AM): *waves happily* <3 <3 <3 Welcome!
MysteryGiIgamesh (12:03:04 AM): Yay!
SirAlextheFirst (12:03:25 AM): Big TV... PC... Mmmmm. Goodnesss.
MysteryGiIgamesh (12:04:25 AM): FLCL music is on the player right now...Mmm...
MysteryGiIgamesh (12:04:29 AM): *guitar riff*
AndrewRogue (12:04:42 AM): My friend has the soundtrack. *steals from friend*
SirAlextheFirst (12:04:42 AM): So.
Adm H Sopko (12:04:44 AM): FLCL music is goooood
MysteryGiIgamesh (12:04:50 AM): Christ....*is quickly amassing too many anime soundtrack CD's*
JeissFiesm (12:05:01 AM): Must go afk for a few minutes..need food/drink.
SirAlextheFirst (12:05:06 AM): Should we continue, or whatall?
MysteryGiIgamesh (12:05:08 AM): 2 Hellsing, 3 or 4 .hack at least, FLCL, Transformers the Movie...
MysteryGiIgamesh (12:05:11 AM): And yes, continue.
AndrewRogue (12:05:25 AM): Go ahead.
SirAlextheFirst (12:05:30 AM): Very well.
ForceJedi2001 (12:05:59 AM): Umm
SirAlextheFirst (12:06:11 AM): Umm?
ForceJedi2001 (12:06:12 AM): Should I pick a charcter or how do you guys do this?
ForceJedi2001 (12:06:26 AM): Never played D&D in a chat room before heh
SirAlextheFirst (12:06:37 AM): Oh. I'm silly.
SirAlextheFirst (12:06:54 AM): Are you familiar with the 3rd Edition rules?
ForceJedi2001 (12:07:00 AM): And also, are you guys using 2nd or 3rd edition rules?
ForceJedi2001 (12:07:08 AM): Yes, I play D&D currently;-)
ForceJedi2001 (12:07:11 AM): Also a DM
SirAlextheFirst (12:07:27 AM): We're using 3rd, with some 3.5
ForceJedi2001 (12:07:32 AM): *nod*
Adm H Sopko (12:07:49 AM): Meh. It's the same as normal RPing in chat, Drake, cept with dice rolling
ForceJedi2001 (12:07:59 AM): *nod*
ForceJedi2001 (12:08:15 AM): Would you care for a general Info of what I'm playing before we start?
SirAlextheFirst (12:08:17 AM): I wrote up a happy lil document about the world, house rules, and stuff like that.
SirAlextheFirst (12:08:20 AM): Yes, indeed.
AndrewRogue (12:08:40 AM): *works on novel*
Adm H Sopko (12:09:39 AM): Truthfully, we could have the two of them join us mid-session, if they play a pair of adventurers lost in the dimensions
MysteryGiIgamesh (12:10:59 AM): This whole thing has a very Sliders ebb and flow to it right now. >_>
MysteryGiIgamesh (12:11:10 AM): Which I like. I loved that show, up until the Professor died. >_>
AndrewRogue (12:11:22 AM): *never watched Sliders*
MysteryGiIgamesh (12:11:35 AM): Blasphemer. :P
AndrewRogue (12:11:41 AM): Sorry ;_;
MysteryGiIgamesh (12:11:50 AM): I command thee to purchase (or steal) all the first season episodes and watch them!
MysteryGiIgamesh (12:12:02 AM): Along with The Chronicle, and the first 2 seasons of Transformers.
AndrewRogue (12:12:07 AM): ...can I steal my friend's money and buy them?
MysteryGiIgamesh (12:12:11 AM): Sure.
AndrewRogue (12:12:15 AM): Woo hoo!
MysteryGiIgamesh (12:13:11 AM): And to supplement the diet of stuff, you must also watch Thundercats and Silverhawks.
AndrewRogue (12:13:27 AM): Damn... can you lend me cash then?
MysteryGiIgamesh (12:13:30 AM): No.
MysteryGiIgamesh (12:13:38 AM): You must resort to your pirating ways.
MysteryGiIgamesh (12:13:48 AM): *hands him an eyepatch and a parrot*
AndrewRogue (12:13:59 AM): Damn :p Anyway, are we going to, ah, play tonight? Just curious since we seem to be running into problems.
SirAlextheFirst (12:14:16 AM): Yes.
Adm H Sopko (12:14:18 AM): I think we can play... just need to get going
SirAlextheFirst (12:14:24 AM): Okay.
AndrewRogue (12:14:25 AM): Okay ^_~
SirAlextheFirst (12:14:53 AM): So. In the hall of earth where once was stone, lighted where should be none, you all lie bleeding.
JeissFiesm (12:15:05 AM): ::blink::
SirAlextheFirst (12:15:13 AM): Brother Bandon has healed you all, actually, so scratch the bleeding part.
SirAlextheFirst (12:15:46 AM): As before, there is utter silence in this place except for the noise of the party's being alive.
AndrewRogue (12:16:30 AM): (*shoves the ~~~~BEGIN~~~~ tag in there)
SirAlextheFirst (12:16:38 AM): ~~~~BEGIN~~~~
SirAlextheFirst (12:16:43 AM): If that makes you happy :P
Adm H Sopko (12:18:10 AM): ::Hunter leans against the door, having recently closed it once again on the face of the evil Shadow. He looks over to the others, a bit nervous:: "There is something most fundamentally wrong here"
(12:18:22 AM) Sarcazmo47 has entered the room.
AndrewRogue (12:18:25 AM): *leans against the wall, breathing heavily, not caring about what the hell the hall looks like. In fact, she doesn't seem to be caring about a lot at the moment*
AndrewRogue (12:19:03 AM): *seeming to snap up somewhat at Hunter's comment* "Y-yes. You're right."
MysteryGiIgamesh (12:19:07 AM): "Then perhaps, oh.......Son of Man, you.........Should be more..........Prudent when you.........Decide to open..........The doors within this.......Such place?"
AndrewRogue (12:21:41 AM): "I... I don't know if we should be here anymore." *her voice quavers slightly, nearly imperceptible*
ForceJedi2001 (12:21:45 AM): OOC: Sorry I'm prolly holding Alex up.
Adm H Sopko (12:21:58 AM): ::Nods:: "I had to test it, Jacynth. We wouldn't even know it if I hadn't."
(12:22:55 AM) Sarcazmo47 has left the room.
(12:23:29 AM) Sarcazmo47 has entered the room.
AndrewRogue (12:23:31 AM): (No problem Force.)
MysteryGiIgamesh (12:23:53 AM): "Well, there is.......No harm in choosing...Perhaps? A bit more......Caution."
MysteryGiIgamesh (12:24:12 AM): "We do not know........Exaclty what else..........May lurk within these halls...."
MysteryGiIgamesh (12:24:32 AM): *he inhales deeply, exhaling slowly, simply peering around....*
Adm H Sopko (12:25:09 AM): "Should we try the doors we just came from to see if they are the same?"
MysteryGiIgamesh (12:25:33 AM): *he nods, standing back from the door, bow at ready*
Sarcazmo47 (12:25:44 AM): ((Anyone want to give the late kid a recap?))
AndrewRogue (12:25:57 AM): (I thought you weren't coming anymore...)
SirAlextheFirst (12:26:11 AM): (Apparently I misspoke.)
AndrewRogue (12:26:38 AM): (Well, that brightens up this tragic evening a bit)
Adm H Sopko (12:26:53 AM): "I'll try the safest one, first." ::He walks to the door that lead to the storeroom, opening it cautiously in the same manner he did before, looking and listening before entering::
Sarcazmo47 (12:26:56 AM): ((What, was someone spreading a rumor I had died or something?))
SirAlextheFirst (12:27:12 AM): (Can Soppy and others try to send ForceJedi the happy document, please?)
Adm H Sopko (12:27:18 AM): ((Sure))
Adm H Sopko (12:27:22 AM): Listen check
SirAlextheFirst (12:27:28 AM): (No, I just said you wouldn't be around anymore. Cause I thought you wouln't be.)
*OnlineHost* (12:27:28 AM): Adm H Sopko rolled 1 20-sided die: 20
AndrewRogue (12:27:35 AM): (Alex said you weren't coming anymore <_< Anyways, basically, we're right where we left off last time Kirk.)
Adm H Sopko (12:27:37 AM): Booya. What a way to start off the night!
SirAlextheFirst (12:27:46 AM): You hear a faint, faint dripping noise from far inside.
*OnlineHost* (12:27:49 AM): MysteryGiIgamesh rolled 1 20-sided die: 14
MysteryGiIgamesh (12:28:09 AM): 26, 28 if human,30 if evil outsider.
Adm H Sopko (12:28:20 AM): ::Swords at the ready, he opens the door::
AndrewRogue (12:28:42 AM): *she pushes herself up slowly, and moves towards Soppy* "Is it... is it the same?"
AndrewRogue (12:28:48 AM): *Hunter
MysteryGiIgamesh (12:29:12 AM): (I bet the evil Jacynth is a Keebler elf. And the evil Arianna is really the most dexterous ninja in the universe. And evil Hunter? Well....He's just a fat guy named Chuck with a tire iron. >_>)
Adm H Sopko (12:29:12 AM): ::Steps into the room, looking around::
SirAlextheFirst (12:29:40 AM): The storeroom inside looks the same as it did before, with the exceptions of earth walls and glowing white light from nowhere.
Adm H Sopko (12:29:42 AM): ((No, evil Hunter is the same, he just has a mustache))
MysteryGiIgamesh (12:29:48 AM): (XD)
AndrewRogue (12:29:55 AM): (XD)
Adm H Sopko (12:30:25 AM): ::Looks to Jac, motioning with his head towards the storeroom they tried before:: "Should we give it another go?"
Sarcazmo47 (12:30:40 AM): "Should we return through our original door to see if this complex will return to its original state?"
MysteryGiIgamesh (12:31:53 AM): "We should.....Simply try whatever we.....Possibly can. After all......There is little harm within....Trying."
MysteryGiIgamesh (12:32:05 AM): (Well, save horrible rending death, but meh.)
Adm H Sopko (12:32:56 AM): "Possibly. But if everything is reversed, we'll at least be able to see whats in the room now." ::Walks towards the door, opening it out and using it as partial cover, just in case::
MysteryGiIgamesh (12:33:16 AM): *follows behind at a slight distance (20ft) from the others*
Sarcazmo47 (12:33:31 AM): "Unless the contents changed when the building did."
SirAlextheFirst (12:34:21 AM): Which door?
Adm H Sopko (12:34:48 AM): The door that led to the darkness last time. With the dead body
SirAlextheFirst (12:35:18 AM): Ah.
SirAlextheFirst (12:35:36 AM): Nothing jumps at you when you open the door.
SirAlextheFirst (12:35:39 AM): There is no noise.
SirAlextheFirst (12:36:38 AM): Are you going to look inside?
AndrewRogue (12:37:05 AM): (Yeah, sure)
Adm H Sopko (12:37:16 AM): ::Puts his head around, coming out from cover to look inside::
MysteryGiIgamesh (12:37:47 AM): *is covering them from behind, yay for that*
SirAlextheFirst (12:38:21 AM): Whoo.
SirAlextheFirst (12:39:19 AM): It's a meat locker, with a wooden wall covered by mesh at the back.
SirAlextheFirst (12:39:35 AM): This room does not have its own internal lighting, and is rather gloomy.
SirAlextheFirst (12:39:58 AM): However, you can now see very well what the thing Jacynth grabbed was - or what it is now.
SirAlextheFirst (12:40:03 AM): http://www.zone.ee/black_cube/sh/095.JPG
Adm H Sopko (12:40:05 AM): ::Steps inside, at the ready, waving Bandon in with the light::
AndrewRogue (12:41:52 AM): *steps back and turns away, paling for about the third time this adventure*
SirAlextheFirst (12:42:06 AM): Drip. Drip.
MysteryGiIgamesh (12:42:36 AM): *he simply looks at the....thing? from a distance, being no stranger to gore*
Adm H Sopko (12:43:29 AM): ::Blinks, turning to Jac with an amused look:: "Well... I suppose we should be glad you didn't pull it out, now." ::He then goes around, searching the room::
AndrewRogue (12:43:34 AM): "What...what happened here?" *she's on the verge of tears, but clenches her eyes tightly*
*OnlineHost* (12:43:35 AM): Adm H Sopko rolled 1 20-sided die: 9
Adm H Sopko (12:43:38 AM): 13
SirAlextheFirst (12:44:20 AM): You find a dead body hanging in the middle of the room. It's dripping blood and other fluids. Other than that, you've got nothing.
MysteryGiIgamesh (12:45:23 AM): *searches with him*
MysteryGiIgamesh (12:45:26 AM): (Might as well...)
Sarcazmo47 (12:45:35 AM): Is there any way to get the body down?
*OnlineHost* (12:45:37 AM): MysteryGiIgamesh rolled 1 20-sided die: 1
MysteryGiIgamesh (12:45:40 AM): (...Wow.)
SirAlextheFirst (12:45:47 AM): (and since Gil can't read yellow) <help me>
MysteryGiIgamesh (12:45:48 AM): ("Look guys! I've got feet!")
MysteryGiIgamesh (12:45:55 AM): (GAAH!)
AndrewRogue (12:45:56 AM): (XD)
MysteryGiIgamesh (12:46:03 AM): (Too bright.)
SirAlextheFirst (12:46:14 AM): There may or may not be a large hanging corpse in the center of the room.
AndrewRogue (12:46:15 AM): (Dude, that's the same color as Gil's name!)
(12:46:24 AM) JeissFiesm has left the room.
MysteryGiIgamesh (12:46:28 AM): (Too....Bright...X_X)
MysteryGiIgamesh (12:46:37 AM): (And on my screen, all names are dark blue.)
Sarcazmo47 (12:46:45 AM): Bandon examines the hanging corpse to see how it is suspended and how he might get it down.
SirAlextheFirst (12:47:34 AM): It's chained to the ceiling and floor, and no way of getting it down short of ripping it out of the chains seems plausible.
MysteryGiIgamesh (12:48:24 AM): Oo What would possibly do such, Son of Man? oO
MysteryGiIgamesh (12:48:30 AM): *he looks to Hunter*
Adm H Sopko (12:48:47 AM): ~Do we really want to know? Perhaps a sacrifice to summon more Hummers?~
AndrewRogue (12:49:02 AM): (Hey... is this a cheesy Silent Hill reference? I mean, all that took place in the guy's mind because his daughter imagined it? :p)
SirAlextheFirst (12:50:17 AM): (Firstly, that's not the plot of Silent Hill. Secondly, this is a reference. But thirdly, no.)
AndrewRogue (12:51:21 AM): (Bah, I need to actually beat Silent Hill. Stupid disc skips though. <_<) *anyway, unlike her player, Aria is being relatively unobtrusive at the moment*
MysteryGiIgamesh (12:51:45 AM): *Jac is simply milling about the room, keeping away from the thingz*
MysteryGiIgamesh (12:51:46 AM): *thing
Adm H Sopko (12:51:53 AM): "Anyway, I think going back down the staircase wouldn't be a good idea at this moment. Sound we check the way out again?"
Sarcazmo47 (12:52:33 AM): Bandon seems a bit unresponsive as he stares up at the chained body.
AndrewRogue (12:53:32 AM): *quietly* "Yes... let's."
Sarcazmo47 (12:53:33 AM): Finally, he turns to the others and asks, very quietly, "Do any of you have any water or wine, or powder of some sort?"
MysteryGiIgamesh (12:54:44 AM): *he pulls out a waterskin, and hands it to him*
AndrewRogue (12:54:47 AM): *looking at Bandon* "Powder? I think..." *slowly digs through her pack and extracts the unlabbled jar. With the powder in it.* "Like... like this?"
AndrewRogue (12:55:01 AM): *unlabled
Sarcazmo47 (12:56:06 AM): Bandon bows to Jac and waves off Aria, then dribbles a little of the clear water into his palm and murmurs a few words over it (bless water) before sprinkling it upward onto the chained body, and begins a prayer to Luthien, asking
Sarcazmo47 (12:56:13 AM): for her guidance to the dead.
AndrewRogue (12:56:52 AM): *sighs and puts it away, and heads back out of the storeroom*
SirAlextheFirst (12:57:45 AM): Hokay.
Adm H Sopko (12:57:52 AM): ::Walks out with Arianna, waiting at the outer door for the others::
MysteryGiIgamesh (12:58:44 AM): *follows*
Sarcazmo47 (12:58:48 AM): Unless something interrupts him, Bandon will use the entire skin of water in his little vigil before he leaves the room.
MysteryGiIgamesh (12:59:07 AM): (Go ahead, I carry two waterskins.)
MysteryGiIgamesh (12:59:16 AM): (Because it's good to be prepared. ^_~)
Sarcazmo47 (12:59:37 AM): ((You know how many waterskins I carry?))
MysteryGiIgamesh (12:59:46 AM): (10?)
AndrewRogue (12:59:53 AM): (0?)
Sarcazmo47 (1:00:24 AM): ((Good job.))
Sarcazmo47 (1:02:08 AM): Right. So, we all pile into the eerily lit hallway and...?
SirAlextheFirst (1:02:12 AM): And...
SirAlextheFirst (1:02:21 AM): The hallway remains eerily lit.
Adm H Sopko (1:02:24 AM): ::As soon as Hunter closes the door, he opens it once again, just to make sure::
SirAlextheFirst (1:03:16 AM): The door now opens onto an empty room, with square, grey walls made of something you can't identify.
MysteryGiIgamesh (1:03:38 AM): "....."
AndrewRogue (1:03:41 AM): "..."
MysteryGiIgamesh (1:04:09 AM): *he looks to Hunter* "Well, oh......Son of Man, at......This such rate we......Will perhaps be here for.....Quite some time?"
Adm H Sopko (1:04:35 AM): ::Sighs:: "Wonderful. I think going through one of the main exits resets everything back. You can open the door once, but it'll change after that. Going through an exit sets them back to the first room... who knows how many
Adm H Sopko (1:04:37 AM): there are..."
MysteryGiIgamesh (1:04:59 AM): "Then perhaps we.....Should keep opening and......Closing the portal?"
Adm H Sopko (1:05:12 AM): "Should we check this first?"
Sarcazmo47 (1:05:37 AM): Once again, "Perhaps the entire building can be reset if we reeenter from our original enterance. We know the others came from that way, perhaps we should try all the doors again from that side before (more)
Sarcazmo47 (1:05:55 AM): messing about with these shifiting rooms?"
(1:06:00 AM) JeissFiesm has entered the room.
MysteryGiIgamesh (1:07:14 AM): "....Perhaps?"
Adm H Sopko (1:07:17 AM): ::Nods:: "I guess. But we also don't know if the same room will ever appear twice after the original... so I'm going in here to check things out."
Adm H Sopko (1:07:49 AM): ::Hunter walks into the room cautiously, searching about and inspecting the walls to determine the material::
*OnlineHost* (1:07:55 AM): Adm H Sopko rolled 1 20-sided die: 8
Adm H Sopko (1:08:00 AM): 12 on the search
SirAlextheFirst (1:09:10 AM): The material has no give it whatsoever, and is cool to the touch.
MysteryGiIgamesh (1:09:38 AM): *simply watches from the outside*
MysteryGiIgamesh (1:09:48 AM): (I'm not stepping into freaky grey room. >_>)
Adm H Sopko (1:09:59 AM): Anything I can do that can help ID the substance?
SirAlextheFirst (1:10:17 AM): Not really.
MysteryGiIgamesh (1:10:35 AM): (Try cutting a piece off the wall?)
MysteryGiIgamesh (1:10:46 AM): (Just so we can take it back to later have it identified?)
SirAlextheFirst (1:11:03 AM): Roll me a Listen check. ANyone who's trying to hear thigns inside that room.
Adm H Sopko (1:11:13 AM): Me too?
*OnlineHost* (1:11:13 AM): MysteryGiIgamesh rolled 1 20-sided die: 1
AndrewRogue (1:11:15 AM): (Is not taking roll)
MysteryGiIgamesh (1:11:17 AM): (.....)
SirAlextheFirst (1:11:23 AM): Including Soppy, yes.
MysteryGiIgamesh (1:11:24 AM): (Thats two 1's in a row now.)
*OnlineHost* (1:11:29 AM): Adm H Sopko rolled 1 20-sided die: 2
Adm H Sopko (1:11:36 AM): 9
MysteryGiIgamesh (1:11:42 AM): (Well, I have a 3, with the -10.)
MysteryGiIgamesh (1:11:45 AM): 5 if human.
MysteryGiIgamesh (1:11:53 AM): 7 if evil outsider.
Adm H Sopko (1:11:54 AM): 10 if Hummer, 11 if human
SirAlextheFirst (1:12:03 AM): Okay.
SirAlextheFirst (1:12:29 AM): Move along.
*OnlineHost* (1:12:33 AM): Sarcazmo47 rolled 1 20-sided die: 16
Sarcazmo47 (1:12:36 AM): 20.
Adm H Sopko (1:12:40 AM): Hooray
SirAlextheFirst (1:12:54 AM): Or, Bandon hears grinding noises from behind the walls.
Sarcazmo47 (1:13:13 AM): "Carefully, Hunter. Something is behind those walls."
AndrewRogue (1:13:24 AM): "What?"
Sarcazmo47 (1:14:04 AM): Bandon steps into the room slightly and presses an ear against the wall to see if he can discern more from the noise.
SirAlextheFirst (1:14:44 AM): You can discern that the walls are moving inwards.
Sarcazmo47 (1:15:02 AM): Bandon blinks. "The room is compacting. Leave. Now."
Sarcazmo47 (1:15:22 AM): He proceeds to follow his own advice.
Adm H Sopko (1:15:30 AM): "Behind the walls? Huh?" ::He snaps to attention, and at Bandon's words, he runs out of the room::
Adm H Sopko (1:16:01 AM): ::He immediately turns, keeping the door open so he can watch the room compact::
SirAlextheFirst (1:16:05 AM): The walls begin to move at a visible rate as the both of you leave.
AndrewRogue (1:16:18 AM): *watches in a sort of abstract horror*
SirAlextheFirst (1:16:38 AM): And, in about another minute, they come together in an eye-twisting way, and the doorway is filled with a blank greyness.
Adm H Sopko (1:17:19 AM): Is it the wall? Or a mysterious sort of greyness?
MysteryGiIgamesh (1:17:35 AM): ("Welcome to....The Twilight Zone.")
SirAlextheFirst (1:17:59 AM): A mysterious sort of greyness.
SirAlextheFirst (1:18:05 AM): Yes indeed.
Adm H Sopko (1:18:18 AM): ::Hunter watches the room carefully, seeing if he can discern anything from it all::
Adm H Sopko (1:18:21 AM): Spot check?
Sarcazmo47 (1:18:21 AM): Well, we all know what Bandon does with myterious greynesses.
Sarcazmo47 (1:18:29 AM): He tries to stick his arm into them.
MysteryGiIgamesh (1:18:32 AM): (Lemme know when we get to the land of porn and free icecream.)
SirAlextheFirst (1:19:14 AM): Strength check, Bandon.
*OnlineHost* (1:19:15 AM): SirAlextheFirst rolled 1 20-sided die: 5
*OnlineHost* (1:19:31 AM): Sarcazmo47 rolled 1 20-sided die: 12
Sarcazmo47 (1:19:33 AM): 12.
SirAlextheFirst (1:20:06 AM): Okay. You feel a pull on your arm when you stick it in.
SirAlextheFirst (1:20:14 AM): It's not enough to do anything, though.
MysteryGiIgamesh (1:20:32 AM): ("Galactus.....HUNGERS."?_
MysteryGiIgamesh (1:20:33 AM): *)
Sarcazmo47 (1:20:37 AM): Does his arm indeed plunge into the creepy greyness?
SirAlextheFirst (1:21:54 AM): Yes, it does indeed plunge into it.
Sarcazmo47 (1:22:23 AM): Outstanding.
MysteryGiIgamesh (1:22:39 AM): (Pull a rabbit out of it.)
Sarcazmo47 (1:23:20 AM): Bandon holds onto one end of his stick, puts the other end in Hunter's hand, and sticks his head in the mysterious greyness.
Adm H Sopko (1:23:56 AM): ::Almost jumps in complete surprise when Bandon does this, but he manages to grab onto the stick and dig in::
MysteryGiIgamesh (1:23:58 AM): (...Wow. Now that's probably going to be deadly.)
AndrewRogue (1:23:59 AM): (...)
Sarcazmo47 (1:24:28 AM): ((Taking drastic measures to move the chat along. Take that, self preservation instinct!))
MysteryGiIgamesh (1:24:41 AM): (XD)
SirAlextheFirst (1:24:49 AM): Right.
SirAlextheFirst (1:24:51 AM): Okay.
AndrewRogue (1:25:02 AM): (Sorry, but I just don't see Aria being very good at contributing at the moment :p Besides, my self-preservation is set to HIGH at the moment :p)
MysteryGiIgamesh (1:25:03 AM): (You're a good man, Sarcazmo. Not a smart one, and probably a dead one, but a good one.)
AndrewRogue (1:25:13 AM): (^Agreed ^_^)
SirAlextheFirst (1:25:33 AM): Once your head gets through the greyness of the door, you find yourself looking out on a lot more greyness. You can see your arm, though, and what's holding it.
AndrewRogue (1:25:48 AM): *practically jumping and shouting* "What are you doing Bandon?"
Sarcazmo47 (1:25:53 AM): ((There are worse things to be, I suppose.))
SirAlextheFirst (1:26:07 AM): It's Shadow, the large, black panther who was outside.
Adm H Sopko (1:26:17 AM): (Whhhhaaaaaaa?)
SirAlextheFirst (1:26:24 AM): He's got your arm in his mouth, and is pulling with all his might.
Sarcazmo47 (1:26:44 AM): Black Shadow and not White Shadow?
Sarcazmo47 (1:26:59 AM): And, can I hear Aria shouting?
Adm H Sopko (1:27:12 AM): ::Hunter senses the resistance and immediately begins to pull Bandon out::
ForceJedi2001 (1:27:16 AM): ooc Later all I should be involved maybe Monday, thanks guys.
SirAlextheFirst (1:27:30 AM): Black Shadow. And yes, you can hear Aria.
Adm H Sopko (1:27:34 AM): (No prob, Drake. See ya later.)
SirAlextheFirst (1:27:44 AM): Good night, sir.
(1:27:51 AM) ForceJedi2001 has left the room.
AndrewRogue (1:27:52 AM): (Night Drake)
Sarcazmo47 (1:28:07 AM): Bandon let's go of the glowing stick, gives a thumbs up to the rest of the group, and steps in after Shadow, allowing himself to be pulled along.
Adm H Sopko (1:28:39 AM): ...
(1:28:53 AM) MysteryGiIgamesh has left the room.
AndrewRogue (1:28:56 AM): (...) "What are you doing?" *she'll grab his arm, somewhat loosely*
Adm H Sopko (1:29:30 AM): ::Hunter staggers back, but recovers and grabs onto Bandon's waist, pulling him out::
(1:29:35 AM) MysteryGiIgamesh has entered the room.
(1:29:41 AM) MysteryGiIgamesh has left the room.
(1:29:41 AM) MysteryGiIgamesh has entered the room.
MysteryGiIgamesh (1:29:50 AM): Heh.
MysteryGiIgamesh (1:29:54 AM): (What did I miss?)
Sarcazmo47 (1:30:18 AM): The party is trying to rend Bandon in twain.
AndrewRogue (1:30:24 AM): (Bandon is walking into the gray stuff, following Black Shadow)
MysteryGiIgamesh (1:30:28 AM): (Aww. Poor cleric dude.)
MysteryGiIgamesh (1:30:54 AM): *grab's onto Hunter/Aria or whoever is grabab\le*
MysteryGiIgamesh (1:31:02 AM): *grabable

SirAlextheFirst (1:32:42 AM): Bandon isslowly pulled back through by the party.
Adm H Sopko (1:32:51 AM): Shadow with him?
Sarcazmo47 (1:33:07 AM): As his head emerges from the greyness, "It's Shadow! The real one!"
AndrewRogue (1:33:15 AM): "What?"
Sarcazmo47 (1:33:28 AM): Bandon repeats himself.
Adm H Sopko (1:33:33 AM): "Shadow? Impossible... Shadow never even came in with us..."
MysteryGiIgamesh (1:33:34 AM): *he simply stares at the human known as Bandon*
Sarcazmo47 (1:33:46 AM): "Nevertheless."
SirAlextheFirst (1:34:11 AM): Shadow does not come with, if you continue pulling Bandon all the way back out.
Sarcazmo47 (1:34:21 AM): "If you'll let me go, can go after him and see if it is indeed your friend."
Adm H Sopko (1:34:30 AM): "There is an easier way."
AndrewRogue (1:34:43 AM): "How do you know its not some... some illusion! Like the HUNTER that attacked Hunter!"
Adm H Sopko (1:35:16 AM): "Hold this door open. Aria and I will check the exit to see if Shadow is still out there"
AndrewRogue (1:35:34 AM): "Are... are you sure?"
Adm H Sopko (1:35:53 AM): "Better than letting someone get sucked into a grey void, isn't it?"
AndrewRogue (1:36:04 AM): *not a very reassured chuckle*
AndrewRogue (1:36:30 AM): "Yes... right."
Adm H Sopko (1:36:33 AM): ::Waves her to follow, heading back to the hopefully real entrance and opening the door::
AndrewRogue (1:37:08 AM): *follows*
Sarcazmo47 (1:37:26 AM): Also follows.
MysteryGiIgamesh (1:37:33 AM): *follows*
Adm H Sopko (1:37:39 AM): SOMEONE HOLD THE DOOR OPEN
SirAlextheFirst (1:37:43 AM): Bandon got pulled all the way back in?
MysteryGiIgamesh (1:37:49 AM): *prop's door open*
Adm H Sopko (1:37:53 AM): We pulled him all the way out
Adm H Sopko (1:38:36 AM): ::Looks through the open door to see if it leads to the real world:;
SirAlextheFirst (1:38:47 AM): Very well. So you're going back to the original entrance?
Adm H Sopko (1:38:54 AM): Yes
AndrewRogue (1:39:17 AM): Yep
SirAlextheFirst (1:39:22 AM): That door opens onto a staircase up, but there's darkness at the top, when it should be quite light now.
AndrewRogue (1:39:59 AM): "Oh... oh dear..."
Adm H Sopko (1:40:05 AM): "Should I close it? We entered at dawn... shouldn't be that dark out."
MysteryGiIgamesh (1:41:42 AM): "Unless we've....Perhaps spent more......Time within this place.....Than it seems?"
MysteryGiIgamesh (1:42:02 AM): "The only......Real way to be sure.......Is to perhaps search the.....Area?"
SirAlextheFirst (1:42:52 AM): The world at the top looks normal, if you go up to it. There's nothing there, though, except the grass. Not even any bodies or weapons.
Adm H Sopko (1:43:07 AM): ::Jumps as he hears Jacynth's voice, not expecting them to be back there. He glares at him when he turns around:: "Easy way to tell." ::He turns back:: "Shadow!"
AndrewRogue (1:43:59 AM): *she'll look about, clearly worried*
Adm H Sopko (1:44:09 AM): ::Hasn't walked up the steps:
SirAlextheFirst (1:44:17 AM): Nothing happens.
MysteryGiIgamesh (1:44:25 AM): *takes out bow just in case*

SirAlextheFirst (1:50:26 AM): The staircase down, into darkness, with no walls or anything around it.
AndrewRogue (1:51:00 AM): *Arianna practically has to restrain herself from screaming*
Adm H Sopko (1:51:03 AM): ::Opens the door fully::
SirAlextheFirst (1:51:26 AM): Okay.
Adm H Sopko (1:51:27 AM): "If we keep this open, I don't think they'll be able to get through..."
SirAlextheFirst (1:54:25 AM): And, indeed, there are no Hummerwraiths zooming through the darkness.
SirAlextheFirst (1:54:33 AM): Just a void with a staircase down.
MysteryGiIgamesh (1:54:47 AM): *simply keeps his eyes and ears peeled*
Adm H Sopko (1:55:22 AM): "Hmm... so that may very well might have been Shadow... we could go back and get him now..." ::Looks to see if the door to the grey void is still open::
(1:55:24 AM) Sarcazmo47 has left the room.
SirAlextheFirst (1:55:44 AM): It is indeed still open, and still grey.
Adm H Sopko (1:57:10 AM): ::Sets up something to keep the entrance door open as well, then motions for the others to follow him back to the other door::
AndrewRogue (1:57:35 AM): *will follow*
MysteryGiIgamesh (1:58:08 AM): *follows*
SirAlextheFirst (1:58:28 AM): It's... still open, and still grey. Not much else to say.
Adm H Sopko (1:59:05 AM): "Take hold of me... I'll try going in this time."
AndrewRogue (1:59:30 AM): *she looks to start to protest, but instead nods* "Okay."
Adm H Sopko (2:00:38 AM): ::He sheaths his weapons, and holds his arms up so they can hold onto his waist or legs::
(2:01:26 AM) JeissFiesm has left the room.
MysteryGiIgamesh (2:01:29 AM): *holds on since he's the strongest* (You now have a 6+ foot tall elf holding you by the waist. Prison rape, anyone?)
Adm H Sopko (2:01:59 AM): ;:As soon as they have hold of him, he dives his upper body into the greyness::
AndrewRogue (2:02:09 AM): *will stand there. Yeah.*
SirAlextheFirst (2:02:22 AM): Shadow is there, looking frantic, in utter greyness.
SirAlextheFirst (2:02:39 AM): Black Shadow, yes, before anyone starts that up.
Adm H Sopko (2:02:58 AM): ::Reaches his hands out to Shadow:: "Over here, Shadow!"
SirAlextheFirst (2:03:47 AM): Shadow runs to you, and grabs your hand in his mouth - gently - and pulls.
Adm H Sopko (2:04:22 AM): ::He taps his foot on the ground outside as a signal to pull him out, using his own strength as well as he grabs onto Shadow tight::
SirAlextheFirst (2:04:42 AM): Oh my.
SirAlextheFirst (2:04:50 AM): You're pulling Shadow out of the greyness?
AndrewRogue (2:05:04 AM): (... ... that suddenly sounds like a less good idea)
Adm H Sopko (2:05:16 AM): Something wrong with that?
MysteryGiIgamesh (2:05:17 AM): (Watch it turn him inside out.)
MysteryGiIgamesh (2:05:24 AM): *pulls on Hunter at signal*
SirAlextheFirst (2:05:36 AM): No, not at all. I just thought you were going out with him. Nevermind. ANyways.
*OnlineHost* (2:05:37 AM): SirAlextheFirst rolled 1 20-sided die: 1
SirAlextheFirst (2:05:50 AM): SHadow's so surprised that you drag him through with no resistance.
Adm H Sopko (2:06:32 AM): ::He smiles as he pulls his friend through::
MysteryGiIgamesh (2:06:51 AM): (Yes, because as we all know, going to the REAL WORLD is what we don't want to do. >_>)
SirAlextheFirst (2:07:36 AM): Shadow freaks out utterly, bounding out of your grasp and to the end of the hall with the open door.
*OnlineHost* (2:07:40 AM): SirAlextheFirst rolled 1 20-sided die: 13
SirAlextheFirst (2:08:09 AM): He makes a quick 180 there, jumps over and past the party, and runs to the other end door.
(2:08:10 AM) Sarcazmo47 has entered the room.
MysteryGiIgamesh (2:08:13 AM): (Oh sweet crap.)
SirAlextheFirst (2:08:16 AM): Where he cowers in the corner.
SirAlextheFirst (2:08:21 AM): And growls.
AndrewRogue (2:08:33 AM): "Sha-shadow?" *approaches, very slowly*
Sarcazmo47 (2:08:34 AM): What'd I miss since the Hummers started coming?
Adm H Sopko (2:09:05 AM): ::He runs to Shadow when he stops:: (Can I sac Entangle for Talk to Animal by any chance?)
MysteryGiIgamesh (2:09:07 AM): *he simply looks at Hunter, speaking in elvish* "And this was an intelligent course of action how, Son of Man?"
AndrewRogue (2:09:13 AM): (Not much. Some more weird changes, and we pulled Shadow out of the gray)
SirAlextheFirst (2:09:23 AM): Soppy: No.
SirAlextheFirst (2:09:41 AM): To Aria: GROWL!
Adm H Sopko (2:09:59 AM): ~It's the real one, Jac. I'm sure of it.~ ::He approaches Shadow slowly:: "Shadow... calm down... it's ok... you're safe now."
Sarcazmo47 (2:10:10 AM): Bandon will then take this opportunity to plunge into the greyness that they pulled Shadow out of.
Adm H Sopko (2:10:24 AM): Bandon: The Human Lemming
AndrewRogue (2:10:43 AM): (Luckily she's totally fluent in Panther <_<) *looking back* "Bandon, what are you doing!" *moves to stop him, or probably fall in like a clumsy oaf*
SirAlextheFirst (2:11:09 AM): Err.
MysteryGiIgamesh (2:11:18 AM): (XD)
SirAlextheFirst (2:11:22 AM): Opposed Dex checks, I guess.....
Adm H Sopko (2:11:42 AM): How does Shadow react to me?
*OnlineHost* (2:11:50 AM): Sarcazmo47 rolled 1 20-sided die: 19
MysteryGiIgamesh (2:11:51 AM): (It's reallt freakin' bad our only cleric is suicidal all the time. XD)
MysteryGiIgamesh (2:11:54 AM): *really
*OnlineHost* (2:11:57 AM): AndrewRogue rolled 1 20-sided die: 18
AndrewRogue (2:12:02 AM): 16 :p
Sarcazmo47 (2:12:11 AM): ((He's not suicidal! There could be something important back there!))
Sarcazmo47 (2:12:14 AM): 19.
SirAlextheFirst (2:12:32 AM): Bandon makes it to the door, and... jumps through?
Sarcazmo47 (2:12:40 AM): Walks through, yes.
SirAlextheFirst (2:12:47 AM): Shadow, to Hunter: SNARL!
Sarcazmo47 (2:13:10 AM): Gowl AND snarl. Wow, you guys are making a good impression.
SirAlextheFirst (2:13:24 AM): Okay. Bandon vanishes into the greyness of the door.
Adm H Sopko (2:13:43 AM): ::Glares at Shadow:: "Thats enough! It's bad enough Lea is inside here somewhere, we don't need YOU misbehaving! Help us out here, guy."
AndrewRogue (2:13:59 AM): (You tell him Soppy!)
MysteryGiIgamesh (2:17:23 AM): (*smacks head on desk* Ow. X_x)
AndrewRogue (2:17:27 AM): (*coughs*)
*OnlineHost* (2:17:28 AM): Sarcazmo47 rolled 2 8-sided dice: 5 3
AndrewRogue (2:17:32 AM): ...
MysteryGiIgamesh (2:17:51 AM): (Did you just get your matter rearranged?)
Sarcazmo47 (2:18:09 AM): ((It's all good. Bandon is an Umber Hulk now.))
Adm H Sopko (2:18:09 AM): That, or he's being attacked
SirAlextheFirst (2:18:09 AM): Shadow: RARR!
AndrewRogue (2:18:14 AM): (I wasn't aware his stuff was continuing yet. Any chance Aria can step part way into the gray in pursuit anyway?
AndrewRogue (2:18:16 AM): )
MysteryGiIgamesh (2:18:32 AM): *holds Aria if she wishes to look*
Adm H Sopko (2:19:25 AM): ;:Sighs and looks to Shadow with a concerned look, kneeling to the floor:: "Shadow... your mistress is in trouble. If you are you, you'd stop this nonsense and look for her."
SirAlextheFirst (2:19:28 AM): You want to enter the grey?
AndrewRogue (2:19:33 AM): *doesn't particularly care if he was going to, but she'll accept the hand if its offered* (And yeah)
MysteryGiIgamesh (2:19:44 AM): *holds her then*
SirAlextheFirst (2:20:14 AM): Aria looks through into a perfectly grey void.
SirAlextheFirst (2:20:19 AM): There is nothing.
AndrewRogue (2:21:01 AM): (...) *she rapidly taps or signals or whatever for Jac to pull her out*
MysteryGiIgamesh (2:21:12 AM): *yanks her out*
AndrewRogue (2:21:38 AM): "H-he's not in there!"
MysteryGiIgamesh (2:23:25 AM): Oo Well, then where could have the erstwhile priest have gone to? oO
AndrewRogue (2:24:17 AM): "I don't know! M-maybe its like the other rooms?" *if Jac assists, she'll lean back in*
MysteryGiIgamesh (2:24:38 AM): *holds her as she leans back in*
*OnlineHost* (2:25:51 AM): SirAlextheFirst rolled 1 20-sided die: 17
Adm H Sopko (2:26:09 AM): ::Still attempts to calm Shadow down:
SirAlextheFirst (2:26:37 AM): Shadow: ROAR!
Adm H Sopko (2:27:07 AM): ((::Sighs:: ))
AndrewRogue (2:27:22 AM): (Animal Empathy mayhap?)
Adm H Sopko (2:27:31 AM): (Have none)
Adm H Sopko (2:28:04 AM): (I could try anyway... Thats a Wis skill, right?)
AndrewRogue (2:28:18 AM): No idea. It got rolled away in 3.5
SirAlextheFirst (2:28:23 AM): Go for it
Adm H Sopko (2:28:41 AM): (Into what? Survival? Something else?)
Sarcazmo47 (2:28:56 AM): ((Handle Animal, I believe.))
AndrewRogue (2:29:02 AM): (Class Ability, unless I'm being totally stupid)
SirAlextheFirst (2:29:15 AM): Handle Animal works.
SirAlextheFirst (2:29:22 AM): Whatever it is, it's Wis and you have no ranks.
*OnlineHost* (2:29:22 AM): Adm H Sopko rolled 1 20-sided die: 1
Adm H Sopko (2:29:25 AM): ...
Adm H Sopko (2:29:31 AM): Whats with all the ones?
SirAlextheFirst (2:29:33 AM): Shadow lashes out at you.
*OnlineHost* (2:29:35 AM): SirAlextheFirst rolled 1 20-sided die: 19
Adm H Sopko (2:29:41 AM): ::Sighs::
AndrewRogue (2:29:44 AM): (...)
SirAlextheFirst (2:29:44 AM): ..crit confirm...

*OnlineHost* (2:29:51 AM): SirAlextheFirst rolled 1 6-sided die: 6
Adm H Sopko (2:29:56 AM): ...
Adm H Sopko (2:30:12 AM): (Call me Chrome)
SirAlextheFirst (2:30:27 AM): 12 damage. He rips your freakin stomach open, or tries to.
AndrewRogue (2:30:39 AM): (CoS)
Adm H Sopko (2:31:10 AM): ::Jumps back in time to avoid that, but he is still left with a nice scratch over his stomach. He sighs, backing away from the cat now::
AndrewRogue (2:34:15 AM): (sllooww, or doing Kirk right now)
SirAlextheFirst (2:35:09 AM): Slloooow. Doing Kirk oin the side.
SirAlextheFirst (2:35:33 AM): Waiting for someone here to do something. The kitty doesn't like you.
SirAlextheFirst (2:35:47 AM): AND YOU DIE.
Adm H Sopko (2:36:26 AM): ::Hunter watches the cat for a while, trying to determine if it is in fact the real Shadow::
AndrewRogue (2:36:28 AM): *was leaning through the gray stuff again in hopes that it was like the doors. Jac was helping gain*
SirAlextheFirst (2:37:42 AM): Make a Wisdom check, Soppy
SirAlextheFirst (2:37:49 AM): Aria just sees grey.
*OnlineHost* (2:38:11 AM): Adm H Sopko rolled 1 20-sided die: 3
Adm H Sopko (2:38:14 AM): 4
Adm H Sopko (2:38:29 AM): It might be a cat, possibly black
SirAlextheFirst (2:39:26 AM): Yeap.
SirAlextheFirst (2:39:32 AM): As far as you can tell, it's Shadow.
Adm H Sopko (2:40:33 AM): "Fine, be that way. If Lea dies, it's your fault." ::He turns, now shocked as he finally takes in the scene of Aria leaning in:: "Where is Bandon?"
AndrewRogue (2:42:22 AM): (Gil prolly went sleepy) *leaning back out* "He... he's gone!"
Adm H Sopko (2:42:54 AM): "Gone?! What do you mean gone?!"
AndrewRogue (2:43:34 AM): "He... he just ran in and there's nothing inside!"
MysteryGiIgamesh (2:43:43 AM): (Okay, new rule. X_x)
AndrewRogue (2:43:43 AM): "I... I just looked..."
MysteryGiIgamesh (2:44:00 AM): (Poor Gil needs to either learn to stay awake, or sleep more.)
Adm H Sopko (2:44:27 AM): ::Sighs:: "That might mean we have to go on the other side to find him..."
AndrewRogue (2:44:45 AM): "Maybe... do you have rope...?
AndrewRogue (2:44:46 AM): "
MysteryGiIgamesh (2:44:54 AM): "Mayhap we should......Have crossed over....When we had the chance, oh.....Son of Man>?"
MysteryGiIgamesh (2:44:56 AM): *?
Adm H Sopko (2:47:18 AM): "Maybe... I don't suppose we have a choice at this moment."
SirAlextheFirst (2:50:00 AM): Nothing's happening here....
SirAlextheFirst (2:50:13 AM): Shadow looks at you all, slightly interested.
AndrewRogue (2:50:32 AM): *pulling rope that I just remembered she had from her pack* "We could use this..."
Adm H Sopko (2:51:33 AM): "What are we gonna tie it to? I think we're just gonna have to take the plunge"
AndrewRogue (2:52:03 AM): "...ah..." *has no answer*
MysteryGiIgamesh (2:52:41 AM): (Crap...)
MysteryGiIgamesh (2:53:00 AM): (Thats the second time I ondded off now. X_x Sorry guys, but I think I need to go early tonight. ;_; )
MysteryGiIgamesh (2:53:03 AM): *nodded
SirAlextheFirst (2:53:21 AM): (Good night, then.)
Adm H Sopko (2:53:42 AM): (Grr.....)
MysteryGiIgamesh (2:53:47 AM): (Good night, everyone. Try not to get your molecules rearranged when you become antimatter.)
(2:54:03 AM) MysteryGiIgamesh has left the room.
AndrewRogue (2:54:40 AM): "...then, we just go in?" *unease* (bah, missed good night while I was taking a bathroom break)
Sarcazmo47 (2:55:15 AM): ((Come, now. Being an Umber Hulk is fun.))
AndrewRogue (2:55:41 AM): (:p I think Soppy may be getting sleepy too.)
Adm H Sopko (2:55:48 AM): (Hell no))
Adm H Sopko (2:55:54 AM): (I don't sleep)
Adm H Sopko (2:56:01 AM): (Ever)
AndrewRogue (2:56:34 AM): (Oh <_< Well then...) *bracing herself, she'll step forward and into the gray... stuff*
SirAlextheFirst (2:56:47 AM): Holding on to something?
Adm H Sopko (2:56:50 AM): ::Looks back to Shadow:: "Want to come along?"
AndrewRogue (2:57:02 AM): Nope, straight on in.
SirAlextheFirst (2:57:16 AM): Shadow walks a bit closer, and doesn't growl this time.
SirAlextheFirst (2:57:23 AM): Okay.
Adm H Sopko (2:57:55 AM): ::Hunter waves him over, beginning to walk into the grey void::
SirAlextheFirst (2:58:58 AM): Is everyone going in?
Adm H Sopko (2:59:02 AM): Yes
SirAlextheFirst (2:59:02 AM): Yes they are.
SirAlextheFirst (2:59:04 AM): Okay.
SirAlextheFirst (2:59:26 AM): Y'all all come out in a hallway like the one you just left.
SirAlextheFirst (2:59:37 AM): Bandon and Lea and the white tiger are there.
SirAlextheFirst (2:59:43 AM): I can never remember that tiger's name.
Adm H Sopko (2:59:51 AM): Avalanche. Ava for short
AndrewRogue (3:00:58 AM): *her face relieved* "Bandon!"
SirAlextheFirst (3:01:07 AM): ... that's what I thought. Maybe it does make sense.'
Adm H Sopko (3:02:14 AM): ::Hunter's face also brightens when he sees Lea alive and well. A smile creeps onto his face as he looks to her:: "Thank Gabriel for small miracles"
Sarcazmo47 (3:02:43 AM): ((AVALANCHE?))
Sarcazmo47 (3:03:08 AM): Bandon nods to Aria and steps out of the way between Hunter and Lea.
Adm H Sopko (3:03:18 AM): ((Man, FF7 wasn't even out when we named that tiger))
SirAlextheFirst (3:03:59 AM): "Hunter!" Lea falls into Hunter's arms - literally, and sobbing.
SirAlextheFirst (3:04:15 AM): She's splattered with blood, and soaking wet with something else.
SirAlextheFirst (3:04:35 AM): Ava is also wet, but doesn't look bloodied.
Adm H Sopko (3:04:48 AM): ::Hunter blinks, trying to remember the last time she cried and failing. He holds her tight though:: "Lea! What happened?!"
SirAlextheFirst (3:05:15 AM): No answer. She's out cold.
Adm H Sopko (3:05:35 AM): How can she be sobbing then?
AndrewRogue (3:05:35 AM): "Bandon... what's going on?"
SirAlextheFirst (3:06:33 AM): She was sobbing right before she passed out.
Sarcazmo47 (3:06:43 AM): Bandon sighs. "When I came through, she was lying on the floor. I tried to help her, but she seemed very afraid. She said she ran into someone....the Marquis you were looking for, I believe. (more)
Sarcazmo47 (3:07:34 AM): She claimed he was the one that killed the Yarovan men, and that she followed him down here into the complex. She said something about finding a pool of water, and being pushed in, then being saved by the tiger and waking up here.
Sarcazmo47 (3:07:44 AM): It was very difficult to understand."
Adm H Sopko (3:07:50 AM): ::Hunter growls as he hears 'Marquis':: "No... you can't mean that that... thing is here?!"
AndrewRogue (3:08:09 AM): *stopping him at Marquis and killed. Disbelieving* "What?"
SirAlextheFirst (3:08:28 AM): Shadow leaps through the door at your backs, and runs over to Lea and Ava.
Adm H Sopko (3:09:01 AM): ::He turns to Shadow and pats his head:: "Sorry, Shadow... I should have realized..."
Sarcazmo47 (3:09:22 AM): Bandon shrugs helplessly. "That is what she told me. How much might have been delerium I cannot say. She was babbling and almost incoherent."
Adm H Sopko (3:10:10 AM): ::He sighs:: "Thats so unlike her... something major had to have happened to bring her to this..."
AndrewRogue (3:11:47 AM): *trying once again with the circlet* ~Marquis dela Rosa!~
Sarcazmo47 (3:11:47 AM): "She did say that she was drowning before I woke her."
Adm H Sopko (3:12:56 AM): ::Nods, kneeling down to her and taking out a smelling salt, waving it in front of her nose to wake her up::
Sarcazmo47 (3:13:03 AM): ~*pop* Yes, girl?~
*OnlineHost* (3:13:10 AM): Adm H Sopko rolled 1 20-sided die: 9
Adm H Sopko (3:13:17 AM): 15 on the heal
SirAlextheFirst (3:13:56 AM): She wakes up, and twitches madly at the smelling salt.
AndrewRogue (3:14:11 AM): ~Marquis... where are you?~
Adm H Sopko (3:14:26 AM): ::He tosses it away after it's use, holding her gently:: "It's okay, Lea... I'm here."
Sarcazmo47 (3:14:57 AM): ~*short, barking laugh* Lost. And you, girl?~
AndrewRogue (3:16:18 AM): *mental sigh* ~The same as you... Did you... did you meet with the Yaravon group? And a girl... she has a tail and her names Leatanna...~
Sarcazmo47 (3:17:04 AM): ~*long silence* I encountered such a group, although I do not recall suck a girl.~
Sarcazmo47 (3:17:09 AM): *such
Adm H Sopko (3:17:19 AM): Lying sack of shit...
Adm H Sopko (3:17:36 AM): No offense, Kirk<G>
Sarcazmo47 (3:17:40 AM): Care to Sense Motive him?
Adm H Sopko (3:17:47 AM): I can hear it?
AndrewRogue (3:17:54 AM): Not that it'll do much good.
*OnlineHost* (3:17:55 AM): AndrewRogue rolled 1 20-sided die: 2
SirAlextheFirst (3:18:06 AM): He's telling the absolute truth.
Adm H Sopko (3:18:10 AM): If I can hear it...
*OnlineHost* (3:18:14 AM): Adm H Sopko rolled 1 20-sided die: 6
Adm H Sopko (3:18:17 AM): 11
AndrewRogue (3:18:37 AM): ~Then... are you in some underground building of sorts, maybe?~
Sarcazmo47 (3:19:33 AM): ~...............As it happens, yes. I suppose you children followed me regardless of my warnings.~
AndrewRogue (3:20:55 AM): *stiffening slightly* ~I am not a child Dela Rosa! And no, we weren't following you. We were following Hunter's friend.~
Adm H Sopko (3:21:16 AM): ~Followed you? Hardly. We were following the Yarovan group that you slaughtered. Still up to old tricks, I see.~
SirAlextheFirst (3:24:29 AM): Lea gets up again, still unsteady.
Adm H Sopko (3:24:51 AM): ::Stands up with her, letting her lean against him as he looks at the surroundings::
Sarcazmo47 (3:25:38 AM): ~Spying, Hunter? I'm not surprised. Yes, I killed them. As I'll kill you, if you get in my way as they did.~
AndrewRogue (3:25:57 AM): ~... ... you... killed them?~
Adm H Sopko (3:26:55 AM): ~Spying? You stole my ID badge. You know I work for them, or worked for them anyway, thanks to you.~
Sarcazmo47 (3:28:06 AM): ~Your plight does not concern me in the least. This conversation is pointless. *pop*~
Adm H Sopko (3:29:16 AM): "I've never met a bigger asshole... really, I haven't..." ::He growls a bit. His face then softens, looking to Lea::
SirAlextheFirst (3:30:09 AM): She's regained some of her composure.
Adm H Sopko (3:30:47 AM): "Are you alright, now?"
AndrewRogue (3:30:50 AM): ~You bastard! I... I wanted to help you! Your daughter is here...!~ *assumedly not recieving a response* "Damnit..." *\quietly as she slumps back against the wall*
SirAlextheFirst (3:32:15 AM): "Yes... maybe. I hope so."
Adm H Sopko (3:32:25 AM): "What happened?"
SirAlextheFirst (3:33:43 AM): She takes a deep breath.
AndrewRogue (3:34:16 AM): (BRB)
SirAlextheFirst (3:34:27 AM): "We recived information from my father on where we could find the girl - he said that she was heading for an underground settlement of monks. This place. We went there."
SirAlextheFirst (3:35:42 AM): "We met some monks running from the place, and they told us that the girl had come and was killing everyone. When we arrived at the entrance, we found two men."
SirAlextheFirst (3:36:18 AM): "They said that they were the Marquis Vincent Dela Rosa and his manservant, and they were looking for his daughter, to help her."
SirAlextheFirst (3:37:27 AM): "They were rather hostile, and apparently wanted to help the girl kill monks... so the monks fought them, and my men helped."
SirAlextheFirst (3:38:29 AM): Lea shakes her head. "Ten Eliminators, expertly trained... it didn't matter at all. The swords that the Marquis and his man used cut through anything like paper. They MELTED our weapons - and then he melted my men."
Sarcazmo47 (3:39:29 AM): ((YEAH!!! WHOO VINCENT!!! YOU ROCK!!!))
SirAlextheFirst (3:39:33 AM): "And the monks, too. It was horrible. Ava and Shadow wanted to join in, but I had to hold them back somehow - and then the Marquis came after me.
SirAlextheFirst (3:40:15 AM): "I had to run into the settlement. Ava came with me. I don't know where Shadow went - Jorim got in his way, and I told him to run."
Adm H Sopko (3:41:16 AM): "We were following you, and just as Shadow was running back, we ran into him and he brought us here... it's been one hell of a trip, let me tell you..."
AndrewRogue (3:42:21 AM): (Sorry...back) *her head sinks further*
SirAlextheFirst (3:43:33 AM): Lea nods. "I just kept running down, and then to the right, and then down some stairs.... the Marquis kept following me, though."
Sarcazmo47 (3:44:47 AM): ((That's cuz the Marquis is awsome.))
AndrewRogue (3:45:05 AM): (Bah, I could take the Marquis :p)
SirAlextheFirst (3:45:06 AM): "I finally got to some sort of cave, far in. I never did see another living person. But then the Marquis and the other man came in.... and they ignored Ava and I."
Adm H Sopko (3:45:13 AM): (Tekken the anime > The Marquis))
Adm H Sopko (3:45:38 AM): "What'd they do then?"
Sarcazmo47 (3:46:22 AM): ((Tekken the game < Dog shit.))
SirAlextheFirst (3:47:09 AM): "They jumped across the lake in the room, to the other side, where somethign was glowing. Then they talked a little while, and then the Marquis screamed and jumped into the lake."
Adm H Sopko (3:47:42 AM): "What happened to the servent?"
SirAlextheFirst (3:49:38 AM): "He tried to help the Marquis swim. They both got out, though, on the island in the middle... I think I jumped out there, too... I don't remember much about that part."
Adm H Sopko (3:50:52 AM): "Musta hit your head or something... the Marquis would've killed you had he been involved."
SirAlextheFirst (3:51:41 AM): "No, he ignored us, when we were down there. Like he just didn't care, since we didn't try to fight him."
SirAlextheFirst (3:52:05 AM): "I went over to the other side with Ava, to see what the glow was, since the mission was trashed."
AndrewRogue (3:55:41 AM): (*coughs*)
SirAlextheFirst (3:56:23 AM): Lea's trailed off.
Adm H Sopko (3:56:56 AM): "What'd you see when you went over to the other side? Or did you not make it?"
SirAlextheFirst (3:58:02 AM): "There was a room, where the light was coming from. I don't remember what was there, but I didn't think it was important. And then I came out, and tried to go back across and out."
SirAlextheFirst (3:59:15 AM): "I was jumping back across with Ava... and something happened, and I was in the water. Maybe I just messed up jumping and fell. I think I hit my head, but I was drowning, and it was awful... and then I woke up here."
Adm H Sopko (3:59:53 AM): ::He looks over to Aria:: "Think it could've been that 'bathtub monster' Marion was talking about?"
AndrewRogue (4:00:33 AM): *looking up* "It... yes. That would make sens."
AndrewRogue (4:00:40 AM): *sense
Sarcazmo47 (4:01:42 AM): "You mean...the voice we've been hearing has been......Marion?"
Adm H Sopko (4:01:55 AM): ::Nods:: "A while ago we bumped into what we think was the girl. She told us a woman and her kitty were about to be attacked by a bathtub monster... you can imagine my shock. Still, after a lot of work, we ended up here as
Adm H Sopko (4:01:58 AM): well..."
Sarcazmo47 (4:02:29 AM): For those that have actually heard her voice, did the voice we've been hearing match what they remember of her voice when they last heard her speak?
AndrewRogue (4:02:36 AM): *to Bandon* "I...think. I don't know." *she runs her hand through her hair in frustration* "It seems like there are two of them!"
SirAlextheFirst (4:03:45 AM): Telepathic voices are not necessarily the same as real voices. They're rather hard to tell, in fact. Nobody but Jacynth and Nash heard Marion's telepathy voice, and Jacynth didn't hear it much.
SirAlextheFirst (4:04:59 AM): Lea blinks. "That might have been it. I don't recall a monster, but I nearly died."
Sarcazmo47 (4:05:24 AM): "Two of them? What do you mean?"
Adm H Sopko (4:05:53 AM): ::Smiles:: "Glad you didn't." ::He kneels to Shadow and cups his face in his hands:: "And you, mister... be more careful with those claws next time, okay?" ::He smiles::
SirAlextheFirst (4:06:12 AM): Shadow looks at the ground in shame and apology.
Adm H Sopko (4:07:18 AM): ::Chuckes a bit:: "Just a flesh wound, Shadow." ::He kisses the cat's head and looks to Ava with a smile:: "You look pretty proud of yourself."
AndrewRogue (4:07:19 AM): "One of them... she's very angry and she wants her daddy. The other... she's lonely. She was complaining she was all alone. She seemed sad, remorseful..." *trails off*
SirAlextheFirst (4:08:03 AM): Ava nuzzles Hunter's leg.
Sarcazmo47 (4:08:46 AM): Bandon shakes his head. "It seems that this door from which the light has been coming should be our objective, then. Unless you all wish to leave, or wander in search of the Marquis and his man."
Adm H Sopko (4:09:00 AM): ::Laughs a bit, scratching behind Ava's ear affectionately before standing once more:: "Well... time for our favorite game of 'Where the hell are we now?'"
SirAlextheFirst (4:10:01 AM): Opportunely enough, two familiar faces open the door at the other end of this hall. Perhaps they can answer that question.
SirAlextheFirst (4:10:25 AM): Or then again, Vincent and Jorim are probably anything but happy to see you.
Sarcazmo47 (4:11:28 AM): ((HAAAAAAAAAA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!))
Sarcazmo47 (4:11:34 AM): ((......ahem.))
Adm H Sopko (4:11:47 AM): ::Sighs:: "Great, the last thing we needed..."
AndrewRogue (4:12:05 AM): *standing up straight* "You!"
Sarcazmo47 (4:12:41 AM): Vincent takes in the room for a moment, then begins to walk straight down the middle of the hallway towards the other door. As he walks, he respond to Aria. "Me."
Sarcazmo47 (4:12:56 AM): His sword is in hand.
Adm H Sopko (4:13:50 AM): "If you're looking for your daughter, you're going the wrong way. Try the second door to the left. If it's correct, you'll find a spiral staircase leading down. We ran into HUNTERs who were asking for their Daddy."
AndrewRogue (4:14:00 AM): *she grips the Guisarme's tightly, her knuckles turning white*
Sarcazmo47 (4:14:35 AM): Vincent is walking down the center of the hallway. Is anyone in his way, or moving to prevent his passage?
SirAlextheFirst (4:14:41 AM): Shadow: GROWL!
SirAlextheFirst (4:14:51 AM): (I'm SO glad I got to use that again)
Adm H Sopko (4:15:05 AM): Hunter and Lea are off to the side a bit.
AndrewRogue (4:15:29 AM): *Aria is still near the wall*
SirAlextheFirst (4:16:34 AM): This is, by the way, a different earth hallway. Still with the odd light. Six doors on the sides here.
Sarcazmo47 (4:16:34 AM): Oh, good lord. Well, Bandon steps into the center of the hallway, hands at his sides. "Excuse me, sir, but I cannot let you pass."
AndrewRogue (4:18:30 AM): *she tenses herself and then shaking her head and drawing a bit of confidence from Bandon, she out as well* "I... can't let you either Dela Rosa." (She needed someone to pull from <_<)
Adm H Sopko (4:18:41 AM): ::Hunter rolls his eyes:: "Bandon, just let it go. We stay out of his way, he'll stay out of ours. I'd rather not deal with him at the moment so just let him go."
Sarcazmo47 (4:19:14 AM): I'll have to ask the DM if Vincent has reached Bandon at this point.
AndrewRogue (4:19:38 AM): *she steps out
SirAlextheFirst (4:19:56 AM): Not yet.
SirAlextheFirst (4:20:11 AM): Vincent will reach Aria, first.
Sarcazmo47 (4:20:29 AM): Will he come within 20 feet of Bandon first?
Sarcazmo47 (4:21:15 AM): As Vincent moves down the hallway, he simply says, "Move, little girl, or I will move you."
SirAlextheFirst (4:21:27 AM): He will.
SirAlextheFirst (4:21:37 AM): You know what that means.
*OnlineHost* (4:21:37 AM): Sarcazmo47 rolled 1 20-sided die: 19
SirAlextheFirst (4:21:42 AM): Denied.
Sarcazmo47 (4:21:49 AM): Bandon, you SUCK!
Sarcazmo47 (4:22:48 AM): Does Aria move, or answer Vincent?
AndrewRogue (4:22:51 AM): "I am NOT a little girl Dela Rosa." *she holds her ground* "I am as much responsible for this as you."
Sarcazmo47 (4:22:58 AM): Right.
Sarcazmo47 (4:23:29 AM): I assume he reaches her position at this point?
SirAlextheFirst (4:23:32 AM): Yes.
Sarcazmo47 (4:23:39 AM): *cries*
Sarcazmo47 (4:24:12 AM): Shall we roll up the inits?
Adm H Sopko (4:24:22 AM): I hate you all
SirAlextheFirst (4:24:47 AM): Look on the bright side, Lea gets to fight!
Adm H Sopko (4:25:10 AM): Unless you've upped her stats dramatically, I'm not cheering<G>
Sarcazmo47 (4:25:27 AM): First for Bandon....
*OnlineHost* (4:25:35 AM): Sarcazmo47 rolled 1 20-sided die: 10
Sarcazmo47 (4:25:37 AM): 10.
AndrewRogue (4:25:38 AM): (feel free to leave Aria :p She'll probably insist that you leave this for her.)
Sarcazmo47 (4:25:47 AM): Now for Vincent....
*OnlineHost* (4:25:54 AM): Sarcazmo47 rolled 1 20-sided die: 20
Adm H Sopko (4:25:58 AM): I.
Adm H Sopko (4:26:00 AM): Hate
Adm H Sopko (4:26:01 AM): You
Adm H Sopko (4:26:02 AM): Kirk
AndrewRogue (4:26:05 AM): I
AndrewRogue (4:26:11 AM): Tottaly
AndrewRogue (4:26:13 AM): Agree
Sarcazmo47 (4:26:14 AM): Thanks guys.
Sarcazmo47 (4:26:20 AM): Blame the dice!
SirAlextheFirst (4:26:29 AM): Jorim, too!
SirAlextheFirst (4:26:35 AM): I'll roll for him
*OnlineHost* (4:26:35 AM): SirAlextheFirst rolled 1 20-sided die: 17
Adm H Sopko (4:26:39 AM): Why'd Bandon have to be a smartass?
Sarcazmo47 (4:26:50 AM): Oh!
*OnlineHost* (4:26:52 AM): AndrewRogue rolled 1 20-sided die: 19
Sarcazmo47 (4:26:57 AM): Roll Jorim's will save, Alex!
*OnlineHost* (4:27:05 AM): Adm H Sopko rolled 1 20-sided die: 1
Adm H Sopko (4:27:12 AM): OH YE GODS I AM CURSED
AndrewRogue (4:27:45 AM): (...I highly recommend you and Lea slip on and continue the quest <_< Somebody needs to be living at the end)
*OnlineHost* (4:28:30 AM): SirAlextheFirst rolled 1 20-sided die: 9
Sarcazmo47 (4:28:30 AM): Inits = Vincent first, Jorim, Aria, Bandon, Sopko.
Sarcazmo47 (4:28:33 AM): HA!
SirAlextheFirst (4:28:34 AM): Jorim's will save is thus.
Sarcazmo47 (4:28:53 AM): Jorim feels calm and peaceful and no fighty.
Adm H Sopko (4:28:54 AM): We need Jac, dood
AndrewRogue (4:29:52 AM): (Like I said, I highly recommend you let me take the beatdown I've probably earned myself. No need to involve you in indivdual stupidity on my part >_<)
SirAlextheFirst (4:30:38 AM): Lea.
*OnlineHost* (4:30:39 AM): SirAlextheFirst rolled 1 20-sided die: 15
SirAlextheFirst (4:30:41 AM): Shadow.
*OnlineHost* (4:30:42 AM): SirAlextheFirst rolled 1 20-sided die: 15
SirAlextheFirst (4:30:44 AM): Ava.
*OnlineHost* (4:30:45 AM): SirAlextheFirst rolled 1 20-sided die: 11
SirAlextheFirst (4:30:58 AM): Sorry bout that.
SirAlextheFirst (4:31:19 AM): Soppy has their stats out?
Adm H Sopko (4:31:32 AM): Lea's yes. Cats? No
SirAlextheFirst (4:31:44 AM): Bah.
SirAlextheFirst (4:31:53 AM): Alright, I got em.
SirAlextheFirst (4:32:10 AM): Cats have +3 init.
Adm H Sopko (4:32:38 AM): Lea has +2
Adm H Sopko (4:32:49 AM): I shoulda made her a higher level than 2...
Sarcazmo47 (4:33:19 AM): Vincent, Jorim, Shadow, Lea, Aria, Ava, Bandon, Hunter.
SirAlextheFirst (4:34:45 AM): Prepare yourselves.
Adm H Sopko (4:34:52 AM): Do we have to?
SirAlextheFirst (4:36:11 AM): THINK this time.
SirAlextheFirst (4:36:19 AM): Or else you may very well all die.
Sarcazmo47 (4:36:33 AM): Shall we begin?
SirAlextheFirst (4:37:21 AM): Yes.
AndrewRogue (4:37:49 AM): (*smacks Kirk for baiting him into this*)
Adm H Sopko (4:37:56 AM): ::He looks to Leatanna:: ~You grab Arianna, I'll grab Bandon. We'll make a break for a door and double open and close it~
Sarcazmo47 (4:38:12 AM): Vincent strides up to Aria and barely even checks his pace as he attempts to cut her face open with his blade.
*OnlineHost* (4:38:18 AM): Sarcazmo47 rolled 1 20-sided die: 14
*OnlineHost* (4:38:32 AM): Sarcazmo47 rolled 1 6-sided die: 1
SirAlextheFirst (4:38:40 AM): Lea does a double take at Hunter talking in her brain.
Sarcazmo47 (4:38:58 AM): A stunning five damage six damage for Aria.
Sarcazmo47 (4:39:04 AM): Ack!
Sarcazmo47 (4:39:05 AM): Six.
Sarcazmo47 (4:39:11 AM): Me addum good.
SirAlextheFirst (4:39:38 AM): Reduced to zero.
SirAlextheFirst (4:39:50 AM): The wound Vincent opens closes instantly.
AndrewRogue (4:39:59 AM): (...)
Adm H Sopko (4:40:02 AM): ~Oh, sorry for surprising you. But yeah. We have to do something or else we're in trouble.~
Sarcazmo47 (4:40:52 AM): Jorim ponders why we all can't just get along.
Adm H Sopko (4:43:34 AM): Shadow kitty's turn
SirAlextheFirst (4:43:46 AM): Ah, yes,
SirAlextheFirst (4:43:57 AM): Shadow... isn't quite sure what to do.
SirAlextheFirst (4:44:11 AM): He's going to take a defensive position in front of Leatanna.
Adm H Sopko (4:44:29 AM): Lea kitty now<G>
SirAlextheFirst (4:45:01 AM): Lea runs up to Aria and grabs her wrist, pulling her backwards.
SirAlextheFirst (4:46:44 AM): Aria?
AndrewRogue (4:46:45 AM): ...ahh, any checks or anything you want me to make?
AndrewRogue (4:48:52 AM): *stunned by the cut and its rapid healing, she won't resist being yanked back. However, full defense in front of Lea* "What...what happened?"
SirAlextheFirst (4:49:31 AM): You can run out a door with her if you want
SirAlextheFirst (4:49:34 AM): No?
AndrewRogue (4:50:01 AM): *Aria goes as far as Lea feels like guiding her*
SirAlextheFirst (4:50:44 AM): She'll take you out the closest side door.
SirAlextheFirst (4:50:50 AM): ANd that's all for them.
SirAlextheFirst (4:50:58 AM): Ava jumps through that door before it closes, too.
SirAlextheFirst (4:51:00 AM): Next!
Sarcazmo47 (4:51:26 AM): Bandon will try to dive through said door before it closes, as well.
Adm H Sopko (4:51:28 AM): She'd keep the door open, actually... since Hunter needs to follow
SirAlextheFirst (4:52:25 AM): Indeed.
SirAlextheFirst (4:52:40 AM): Bandon gets through... Hunter goes through?
Adm H Sopko (4:52:48 AM): yep
SirAlextheFirst (4:52:57 AM): Everybody makes a rapid escape through the door, then. Except Shadow.
Adm H Sopko (4:53:12 AM): ::Holds the door open for the kitty::
SirAlextheFirst (4:53:51 AM): Vincent goes first.
SirAlextheFirst (4:55:01 AM): And...?
SirAlextheFirst (4:57:04 AM): Vincent?
Sarcazmo47 (4:57:09 AM): Mrrk!
Sarcazmo47 (4:57:18 AM): Kill the kitty!
Sarcazmo47 (4:57:28 AM): Five foot step, stabby mcstab.
*OnlineHost* (4:57:36 AM): Sarcazmo47 rolled 1 20-sided die: 8
Sarcazmo47 (4:57:48 AM): Does a 27 hit?
Adm H Sopko (4:57:52 AM): ...
AndrewRogue (4:57:56 AM): ...
SirAlextheFirst (4:58:09 AM): Yes. Yes it does.
AndrewRogue (4:58:23 AM): Well... now that I know Combat Expertise is useless...
*OnlineHost* (4:58:34 AM): Sarcazmo47 rolled 1 6-sided die: 6
Sarcazmo47 (4:58:42 AM): 11 damage from the first attack.
*OnlineHost* (4:58:49 AM): Sarcazmo47 rolled 1 20-sided die: 2
Sarcazmo47 (4:59:00 AM): Does a 16 hit?
SirAlextheFirst (4:59:15 AM): Yes.
*OnlineHost* (4:59:30 AM): Sarcazmo47 rolled 1 6-sided die: 3
Sarcazmo47 (4:59:38 AM): Eight damage from the second one.
SirAlextheFirst (5:00:22 AM): 19, huh.
Sarcazmo47 (5:00:35 AM): Plus stuff.
SirAlextheFirst (5:00:36 AM): 4d6 more.
AndrewRogue (5:00:41 AM): ...
Adm H Sopko (5:00:45 AM): 4d6 what?
SirAlextheFirst (5:00:53 AM): Acid damage.
Adm H Sopko (5:01:08 AM): Using a stronger version of our swords?
*OnlineHost* (5:01:16 AM): Sarcazmo47 rolled 4 6-sided dice: 3 2 4 6
Sarcazmo47 (5:01:21 AM): 15 more.
SirAlextheFirst (5:01:31 AM): Lea shakes her head. "Ten Eliminators, expertly trained... it didn't matter at all. The swords that the Marquis and his man used cut through anything like paper. They MELTED our weapons - and then he melted my men."
Adm H Sopko (5:01:44 AM): ... Kirk... I will kill you one day.
Sarcazmo47 (5:01:52 AM): That's fine.
Adm H Sopko (5:01:54 AM): Yeah yeah yeah, I caught that, Alex
SirAlextheFirst (5:02:09 AM): Total of 34?
Sarcazmo47 (5:02:14 AM): Correct.
AndrewRogue (5:02:31 AM): ... ... ... *sighs* I'm going to feel real, real stupid and bad about this later.
SirAlextheFirst (5:03:16 AM): Shadow is okay with the slashes and pokings, but then he YOWLS as his flesh starts to burn off in great chunks. He winds up convulsing on the floor, near death.
Adm H Sopko (5:03:36 AM): What happened to the spontaneous regeneration?
Adm H Sopko (5:03:40 AM): <G>
SirAlextheFirst (5:03:49 AM): SHadow doesn't have it.
Adm H Sopko (5:04:04 AM): Hmm...
SirAlextheFirst (5:04:55 AM): And SHadow does not follow through the door.
Sarcazmo47 (5:05:08 AM): Next is Jorim, who is no longer within 20 feet of Bandon.
Adm H Sopko (5:05:09 AM): Lea turn
Adm H Sopko (5:05:20 AM): Oh
Adm H Sopko (5:05:47 AM): Sure? It's just a hallway. Might still be in range...
SirAlextheFirst (5:05:54 AM): Bandon is through the door.
SirAlextheFirst (5:06:00 AM): Not in range.
Adm H Sopko (5:06:20 AM): K
SirAlextheFirst (5:07:10 AM): Jorim asks, "Shall we pursue them, sir?"
Sarcazmo47 (5:07:33 AM): Next!
AndrewRogue (5:08:18 AM): Lea?
Adm H Sopko (5:09:01 AM): Yep.
SirAlextheFirst (5:09:21 AM): Lea is torn.
SirAlextheFirst (5:09:49 AM): On the one hand, Vincent is madly raging, and killing things.
SirAlextheFirst (5:09:54 AM): She should get away.
SirAlextheFirst (5:10:05 AM): On the other hand, Shadow's about to die.
Adm H Sopko (5:10:07 AM): "Run with me to get him, Lea! We'll carry him back here and we'll have Bandon heal him."
SirAlextheFirst (5:10:23 AM): Hunter makes it easy.
SirAlextheFirst (5:10:55 AM): SHe runs out to Shadow, putting herself between the Marquis and the cat.
Sarcazmo47 (5:11:04 AM): Attack of Opp?
SirAlextheFirst (5:11:27 AM): No. She's just running and defending.
Sarcazmo47 (5:11:32 AM): Shucks.
AndrewRogue (5:12:06 AM): Moi?
SirAlextheFirst (5:13:05 AM): Yeeep.
AndrewRogue (5:14:03 AM): *she watches in horror as Shadow burns, remembering very acutely the pain that he too must be feeling* Any more room for interposing oneself between the kitty Lea and outhomocidal friend?
AndrewRogue (5:14:20 AM): *our homocidal
SirAlextheFirst (5:15:15 AM): Sure.
SirAlextheFirst (5:16:08 AM): You doing that?
AndrewRogue (5:16:15 AM): Do so, and if you'll allow it, ready an action to trip him if he makes a threatening movement. "Leave them alone Rosa, I was the only one who stood in your way!"
SirAlextheFirst (5:16:30 AM): Okay.
SirAlextheFirst (5:16:45 AM): Ava pounces on Vincent.
*OnlineHost* (5:16:57 AM): SirAlextheFirst rolled 1 20-sided die: 1
SirAlextheFirst (5:17:15 AM): Alas, she's so distraught that she hits her head on the doorframe.
*OnlineHost* (5:17:19 AM): SirAlextheFirst rolled 1 20-sided die: 17
SirAlextheFirst (5:17:26 AM): That's all for her.
Adm H Sopko (5:18:54 AM): Bandon
Sarcazmo47 (5:19:53 AM): Umm. Can Bandon reach around and touch Shadow?
SirAlextheFirst (5:20:47 AM): Not from inside the doorway.
SirAlextheFirst (5:21:08 AM): By the way, nobody's asked what's inside that door yet. Nobody's really looked, either.
Sarcazmo47 (5:21:12 AM): Can he move into a position where he can grab Shadow and pull him inside the doorway?
Adm H Sopko (5:21:44 AM): Was Bandon paying attention at all?<G>
SirAlextheFirst (5:22:26 AM): Grabbing and pulling would certainly hurt him at this point. Maybe kill him. You could drag him in, yeah.
Sarcazmo47 (5:23:14 AM): Harrumph. Well, Bandon will put himself in a position where he can take hold of Shadow, lay a hand on him, and burn his last spell.
*OnlineHost* (5:23:22 AM): Sarcazmo47 rolled 1 8-sided die: 1
AndrewRogue (5:23:33 AM): And blow his last spell he did.
Sarcazmo47 (5:23:34 AM): Heal Six damage on the sissy panter.
SirAlextheFirst (5:23:49 AM): Shadow's wounds heal enough that he can get up and limp.
AndrewRogue (5:25:02 AM): Hunter up!
SirAlextheFirst (5:25:16 AM): Indeed
Adm H Sopko (5:25:32 AM): Would I be able to look and make a move action/
SirAlextheFirst (5:26:11 AM): Certainly.
SirAlextheFirst (5:26:56 AM): This room is circular and quite large, with a lake and... yeah, you've all heard the description before.
SirAlextheFirst (5:27:20 AM): It is just as it was - glowing faintly green from the far side, nothing in the water(?)
Adm H Sopko (5:27:20 AM): So much for pity<G>
Adm H Sopko (5:28:18 AM): ::Hunter runs out, keeping his word to go get the cat even if it's up and limping. He holds a defensive position now so they can all escape::
SirAlextheFirst (5:28:53 AM): Egads.
Sarcazmo47 (5:28:54 AM): Right.
SirAlextheFirst (5:29:07 AM): Vincent, Jorim, Shadow, Lea, Aria, Ava, Bandon, Hunter.
Sarcazmo47 (5:29:09 AM): So who is most directly in Vicent's way?
SirAlextheFirst (5:29:13 AM): Vincent's up.
Adm H Sopko (5:29:20 AM): Egads?<G>
AndrewRogue (5:29:24 AM): Probably moi...
SirAlextheFirst (5:29:26 AM): That can be decided between the people who are in his way.
SirAlextheFirst (5:29:29 AM): I'd think Aria.
AndrewRogue (5:29:58 AM): Besides, I'm reserving an action to drop him on his fanny if he tries anything ^_~
Sarcazmo47 (5:30:13 AM): Aria! Take an attack of opportunity as Vincent starts to speak in draconic!
AndrewRogue (5:30:34 AM): Er, Alex. Would it be my readied action, then an AoO?
SirAlextheFirst (5:31:04 AM): Ah...
SirAlextheFirst (5:31:07 AM): Good question.
SirAlextheFirst (5:31:22 AM): I'd say you can do either.
SirAlextheFirst (5:31:33 AM): But not both.
AndrewRogue (5:31:49 AM): Bah, I'll take the readied to use Improved Trip against our friend.
Sarcazmo47 (5:32:07 AM): Making a touch attack against him?
*OnlineHost* (5:32:08 AM): AndrewRogue rolled 1 20-sided die: 3
AndrewRogue (5:32:19 AM): *swears* 12 <_<
Sarcazmo47 (5:32:28 AM): Unfortunately not.
SirAlextheFirst (5:32:46 AM): No indeed.
Sarcazmo47 (5:32:59 AM): Does anyone else want an AoO?
SirAlextheFirst (5:33:13 AM): The other people blocking Vincent get AOO's too
Adm H Sopko (5:33:25 AM): I don't have weapons drawn
AndrewRogue (5:34:34 AM): So, in other words, looks like Vincent can continue speaking in Draconic.
SirAlextheFirst (5:34:58 AM): Indeed.
Sarcazmo47 (5:35:00 AM): Make me a will save, Aria!
*OnlineHost* (5:35:15 AM): AndrewRogue rolled 1 20-sided die: 9
AndrewRogue (5:35:31 AM): 7, and, as always, does the armor provide resistance Alex?
SirAlextheFirst (5:35:46 AM): What's he casting?
SirAlextheFirst (5:35:58 AM): If it's THL, then yes.
Sarcazmo47 (5:37:20 AM): Yes and yes.
Sarcazmo47 (5:37:37 AM): Vincent looks pissed.
Sarcazmo47 (5:37:40 AM): Next!
SirAlextheFirst (5:38:50 AM): Jorim.
SirAlextheFirst (5:39:18 AM): Vincent, Jorim, Shadow, Lea, Aria, Ava, Bandon, Hunter.
*OnlineHost* (5:39:26 AM): SirAlextheFirst rolled 1 20-sided die: 19
AndrewRogue (5:39:38 AM): Alex, by the way, that needs to be adjusted. I act before Vincent now.
SirAlextheFirst (5:39:43 AM): Jorim resists the effects of Bandon.
SirAlextheFirst (5:40:06 AM): He'll smite Aria.
*OnlineHost* (5:40:28 AM): SirAlextheFirst rolled 2 20-sided dice: 17 3
SirAlextheFirst (5:40:39 AM): Yeow.
AndrewRogue (5:41:40 AM): # > 13 hits, just so you know.
SirAlextheFirst (5:41:49 AM): OWWWW.
SirAlextheFirst (5:41:52 AM): He hits you.
SirAlextheFirst (5:41:57 AM): With the black shortsword.
*OnlineHost* (5:42:04 AM): SirAlextheFirst rolled 1 6-sided die: 2
*OnlineHost* (5:42:06 AM): SirAlextheFirst rolled 1 3-sided die: 2
SirAlextheFirst (5:42:50 AM): That'll be 12 damage.
AndrewRogue (5:43:58 AM): Whee... next?
Adm H Sopko (5:44:17 AM): Shadow
SirAlextheFirst (5:44:38 AM): Shadow runs through the door.
SirAlextheFirst (5:44:46 AM): He knows when to cut and flee.
AndrewRogue (5:46:22 AM): Lea up.
SirAlextheFirst (5:47:10 AM): Following Hunter's advice, she'll run back into that old room there.
AndrewRogue (5:48:22 AM): Ava up! My initiative shifted.
SirAlextheFirst (5:48:31 AM): Ava flees.
Adm H Sopko (5:48:53 AM): Bandon
SirAlextheFirst (5:50:33 AM): Bandon>?
Sarcazmo47 (5:50:58 AM): Flees as well.
SirAlextheFirst (5:51:38 AM): Hunter
SirAlextheFirst (5:51:41 AM): Then Aria
Adm H Sopko (5:51:46 AM): Would I be able to cast Entangle without proviking AoO?
SirAlextheFirst (5:51:59 AM): No.
Adm H Sopko (5:52:06 AM): Flee flee flee!
SirAlextheFirst (5:52:55 AM): Aria?
AndrewRogue (5:52:55 AM): Yup, better part of valor. Seeing that it seems to be plan of the day, she'll flee and close the door.
SirAlextheFirst (5:53:00 AM): Okay, then.
SirAlextheFirst (5:53:07 AM): Everyone cuts and runs.
SirAlextheFirst (5:53:15 AM): The door closes.
SirAlextheFirst (5:53:28 AM): And the party is in the lake room.
Adm H Sopko (5:53:53 AM): Wasn't that on the opposite side?
AndrewRogue (5:54:27 AM): With this dungeon, I think it could be anywhere ^_^
SirAlextheFirst (5:54:31 AM): It's right here.
Adm H Sopko (5:54:54 AM): Figures
SirAlextheFirst (5:55:14 AM): Yep.
SirAlextheFirst (5:55:17 AM): Shall we end here?
Adm H Sopko (5:55:28 AM): ::Hunter looks around, sighing heavily at the room choice as he turns to Lea:: "Let me guess... this is the room?"
Adm H Sopko (5:55:34 AM): I guess
AndrewRogue (5:55:52 AM): *shrugs* Whatever. I must admit, I'm starting to doze though.
SirAlextheFirst (5:55:55 AM): She looks around, and nods. "Yep."
SirAlextheFirst (5:55:58 AM): End, then.
SirAlextheFirst (5:56:03 AM): Gads I'm tired.
Adm H Sopko (5:56:43 AM): XP?
SirAlextheFirst (5:57:03 AM): 600
Adm H Sopko (5:57:46 AM): 3000 til next level
AndrewRogue (5:57:55 AM): 2,600 :p
(5:57:58 AM) Sarcazmo47 has left the room.
SirAlextheFirst (5:58:18 AM): Questions?
AndrewRogue (5:58:23 AM): *huggles Aria's White Armor* I love this stuff.
Adm H Sopko (5:58:40 AM): How screwed are we?<G>
SirAlextheFirst (5:58:42 AM): Aria gets 200 more XP for spotting the Silent Hill reference.
SirAlextheFirst (5:58:59 AM): Even though it was pretty blatant.
AndrewRogue (5:59:07 AM): Boo yah. :p
Adm H Sopko (5:59:08 AM): Never played the games...
SirAlextheFirst (5:59:25 AM): You should. They're excellent thinking materia.
SirAlextheFirst (5:59:27 AM): l
AndrewRogue (5:59:29 AM): I need to finish it, but I'm a wuss when it comes to scary games.
SirAlextheFirst (5:59:30 AM): Material.
AndrewRogue (5:59:47 AM): Plus, I'm currently play Fatal Frame 2 <_<
SirAlextheFirst (5:59:49 AM): Silent Hill materia... oh NO....
Adm H Sopko (6:00:14 AM): Jerry needs to get his dwarven ass here to heal us<G>
AndrewRogue (6:00:45 AM): I know, I miss the Dwarf ;_;
SirAlextheFirst (6:00:58 AM): I don't know what Chrome and Popi's deals are.
SirAlextheFirst (6:01:13 AM): The whole old campaign is gone, except for me.
SirAlextheFirst (6:01:16 AM): *cries*
Adm H Sopko (6:01:28 AM): Gil?
AndrewRogue (6:01:32 AM): *pats him on the back* There, there.
SirAlextheFirst (6:01:40 AM): Gil was a very latecomer to the old game.
Adm H Sopko (6:01:44 AM): Ah
SirAlextheFirst (6:01:48 AM): And didn't really do so much.
SirAlextheFirst (6:02:02 AM): Gorth ended the final battle early so that he could go to sleep.
SirAlextheFirst (6:02:12 AM): Although as it turns out, it was in fact over.
AndrewRogue (6:02:58 AM): Hey Alex, mind if I bug you with two brief questions?
SirAlextheFirst (6:03:18 AM): Quest away, young ion.
AndrewRogue (6:04:15 AM): Yay. Anyways, on to the pointless questions- 1. Any real noticeable reason why Aria healed from the Marquis's attack right off? I figure I'm missing something obvious, but I'm curious.
SirAlextheFirst (6:04:47 AM): Irony.
SirAlextheFirst (6:05:23 AM): Noticeable reason?
AndrewRogue (6:05:27 AM): ... ... ... blasted Irony rears its ugly head again. I'll figure it out here eventually :p
SirAlextheFirst (6:05:30 AM): No.
SirAlextheFirst (6:05:34 AM): Just irony.
AndrewRogue (6:06:15 AM): 2. Was that gray thingy like, a gate or something? That was unusual?
AndrewRogue (6:06:23 AM): *.
SirAlextheFirst (6:06:35 AM): To your question, a question. What about this place is NOT unusual?
AndrewRogue (6:06:47 AM): ... <_< Good comeback.
SirAlextheFirst (6:07:14 AM): There cannot be any unusual where there is no usual.
AndrewRogue (6:07:35 AM): ... *marks off a score for Alex*
AndrewRogue (6:07:54 AM): Bonus Question #1: Why is the Marquis and Co. so powerful :p
Adm H Sopko (6:08:48 AM): Yeah... it's getting on my nerves how untouchable he is.
SirAlextheFirst (6:08:52 AM): Bonus Answer #1: Because Vincent is level 8. That's a big part of it.
AndrewRogue (6:09:04 AM): Hey, I guessed his level right ^_^
SirAlextheFirst (6:09:39 AM): Vincent and Jorim also have good equipment, thanks to y'all.
Adm H Sopko (6:09:42 AM): Even so, if we actually managed to defeat him, we'd have a group of pissed off HUNTERs saying we hurt Daddy. It's lose-lose and he ALWAYS seems to fight it
Adm H Sopko (6:09:46 AM): -it
Adm H Sopko (6:10:09 AM): Vince's 4d6 Acid sword wasn't from use
Adm H Sopko (6:10:12 AM): us even
SirAlextheFirst (6:10:26 AM): Mm... technically it was, actually.
Adm H Sopko (6:10:38 AM): He upgraded it?
SirAlextheFirst (6:11:17 AM): He did.
AndrewRogue (6:11:33 AM): All I know was I was going to feel very stupid if that had gotten Shadow killed >_<
Adm H Sopko (6:11:50 AM): You? Woulda been Bandon's fault.
AndrewRogue (6:12:08 AM): I meant if the Marquis had killed him outright with his attack.
SirAlextheFirst (6:12:33 AM): That would have sucked, yes.
Adm H Sopko (6:12:37 AM): Eh?
SirAlextheFirst (6:12:55 AM): You know how much HP I arbitrarily gave the cats?
Adm H Sopko (6:13:00 AM): No
SirAlextheFirst (6:13:03 AM): 35
AndrewRogue (6:13:13 AM): ...blargh.
Adm H Sopko (6:13:27 AM): Did he do 34 damage?
SirAlextheFirst (6:13:39 AM): Yes.
Adm H Sopko (6:14:05 AM): So the 35 includes the 10 death HP? Or do animals not get the,?
SirAlextheFirst (6:14:19 AM): He'd get the death HP, too.
AndrewRogue (6:15:04 AM): Hey... out of curiosity, how many HP doesthe Marquis have?
Adm H Sopko (6:15:09 AM): Hmm... will we be attacked by the bathtub monster?<G> with our luck, I'm saying yes
Adm H Sopko (6:15:40 AM): Oh, and how many 1's will I roll next session. These are the mysteries of Amaryllis<G>
SirAlextheFirst (6:15:50 AM): HP of Vincent...
SirAlextheFirst (6:15:59 AM): I don't remember exactly, and I closed the sheet.
SirAlextheFirst (6:16:02 AM): 80something
SirAlextheFirst (6:16:18 AM): Bathtub monster?
SirAlextheFirst (6:16:21 AM): Does it exist?
AndrewRogue (6:16:22 AM): Bah, so close. I could almost nail him with a max damage crit :p
SirAlextheFirst (6:16:32 AM): Will you do something to where it could and would attack you?
SirAlextheFirst (6:16:43 AM): How whorish is AIM?
AndrewRogue (6:17:08 AM): Bonus Question ##: What kind of man gives somebody a package, with no explanation, telling them not to open it? I mean, that's cruel :p
SirAlextheFirst (6:17:32 AM): Maybe.
Adm H Sopko (6:18:08 AM): I don't know what it is about the Marquis that makes me hate him so much
Adm H Sopko (6:18:28 AM): I was 1 HP to death with the Dracoroach and I couldn't care, but with the Marquis I'm CONSTANTLY pissed
AndrewRogue (6:18:41 AM): lol
SirAlextheFirst (6:19:12 AM): The hallmark of a good villain>
SirAlextheFirst (6:19:13 AM): ?
Adm H Sopko (6:19:55 AM): The personality, the hypocrysy, combined with the overall untouchableness just offends me<G>
AndrewRogue (6:20:23 AM): *chuckles* Yeah, the bastard is a real smart ass.
Adm H Sopko (6:20:36 AM): Is he evil yet?
SirAlextheFirst (6:20:46 AM): No.
Adm H Sopko (6:21:17 AM): He's at least Chaotic Neutral, right?
AndrewRogue (6:21:18 AM): ...dayymmmn. He's gotta be CN then.
SirAlextheFirst (6:22:06 AM): Not telling.
AndrewRogue (6:22:12 AM): :p
Adm H Sopko (6:22:28 AM): I would seriously consider dropping out if he was Lawful Good<G>
AndrewRogue (6:22:48 AM): He can't be :p Hexies must be non-goof ^_~
Adm H Sopko (6:22:55 AM): Well, maybe thats going a bit overboard
AndrewRogue (6:22:55 AM): *good even
AndrewRogue (6:23:03 AM): I know, I kid.
SirAlextheFirst (6:23:25 AM): He hasn't done much that's truly truly evil yet.
AndrewRogue (6:23:46 AM): ...well, I'd say that's open for debate ^_~
AndrewRogue (6:24:40 AM): Anyway, that it for tonight? Game Monday probably?
Adm H Sopko (6:24:43 AM): Oh, and how do you like how I stopped those Hummers from getting in?<G>
Adm H Sopko (6:25:06 AM): In yo face Hummers! ::SLAM!:: Door stay open!
SirAlextheFirst (6:25:20 AM): Game Monday probably.
AndrewRogue (6:25:24 AM): lol. I learned why they were called Hummers today ^_^
SirAlextheFirst (6:25:29 AM): Good work at stopping the voices.
SirAlextheFirst (6:25:37 AM): Did you like my little picture?
Adm H Sopko (6:25:58 AM): Heh. That was the yellow text voice?
AndrewRogue (6:26:11 AM): :p Rather pleasant when combined with my imagination.
SirAlextheFirst (6:26:16 AM): Maybe it was and maybe it wasn't.
Adm H Sopko (6:26:54 AM): Where we need to go is either down the steps or in the lit room
AndrewRogue (6:27:33 AM): Damn you people and being used to gore. Aria's doomed to have a breakdown after this dungeon. And I'd say that the lit room is a good starting point.
Adm H Sopko (6:28:08 AM): We have a problem. It's maybe mid-day and our healer is out of spells
AndrewRogue (6:28:43 AM): ...ugh. That's a major problem.
Adm H Sopko (6:28:58 AM): unless Jerry comes back, of course
Adm H Sopko (6:29:30 AM): And I used both the healing potions I bought. ::Kicks Shadow for scratching him::
SirAlextheFirst (6:29:50 AM): Well hey now.
SirAlextheFirst (6:29:59 AM): Shadow was trying to get some help for Lea.
SirAlextheFirst (6:30:04 AM): He found y'all!
SirAlextheFirst (6:30:12 AM): But you pulled him through instead!
SirAlextheFirst (6:30:21 AM): Major not coolness with the kittycat.
Adm H Sopko (6:30:28 AM): And he growls at us and scratches me? He could have just led us back through the thing.
Adm H Sopko (6:30:39 AM): We'd have gotten the message.
Adm H Sopko (6:30:49 AM): Then, at least
SirAlextheFirst (6:31:03 AM): he htough you were evil
Adm H Sopko (6:31:19 AM): After how much I talked to him?
SirAlextheFirst (6:32:07 AM): Yes.
Adm H Sopko (6:33:28 AM): Mm. Well, I wish I knew Lea would be so active in the story. I created her to be a completely background character that wouldn't get involved in much combat with us.
SirAlextheFirst (6:33:45 AM): This is true.
SirAlextheFirst (6:33:53 AM): And then she went off on her background story.
SirAlextheFirst (6:34:02 AM): And you swore that you wouldn't follow.
SirAlextheFirst (6:34:07 AM): But Jac talked you into it.
SirAlextheFirst (6:34:13 AM): So now it's a foreground story.
Adm H Sopko (6:34:26 AM): And I'm SURE she woulda come back alive
Adm H Sopko (6:34:31 AM): She already almost died
SirAlextheFirst (6:34:58 AM): ?
Adm H Sopko (6:35:07 AM): If anything, I would've made her higher than Level 2...
SirAlextheFirst (6:35:09 AM): My sarcasm meter is barely functioning.
SirAlextheFirst (6:35:22 AM): Are you in fact sure she would have made it back alive?
Adm H Sopko (6:35:46 AM): No. I'm pretty sure she'dve ended up dead.
SirAlextheFirst (6:36:21 AM): Why?
Adm H Sopko (6:36:26 AM): And I never promised that I wouldn't follow. I said I didn't want to get mixed up with the Marquis again. Following Lea was different
Adm H Sopko (6:36:47 AM): It was dumb luck that the Marquis ended up in the same place
SirAlextheFirst (6:37:01 AM): True.
SirAlextheFirst (6:37:06 AM): Well, kinda true.
SirAlextheFirst (6:37:21 AM): You knew that both Lea and the Marquis were looking for Marion.
Adm H Sopko (6:37:52 AM): Why? Well, her team is wiped out in 10 seconds, she already got knocked out once, this all woulda happened even if we weren't there. In fact, the Marquis would've come across Lea and the cats there and killed them since Lea
Adm H Sopko (6:37:58 AM): was lying in the middle of the hallway
SirAlextheFirst (6:39:01 AM): Maybe.
SirAlextheFirst (6:39:11 AM): He might not have.
Adm H Sopko (6:39:28 AM): The mood he was in? Good chance
SirAlextheFirst (6:40:17 AM): If you hadn't come here, all sorts of things might have happened.
Adm H Sopko (6:40:33 AM): Doubtful.
SirAlextheFirst (6:41:28 AM): Also, I'm not that evil, you paranoid freak.
SirAlextheFirst (6:41:29 AM): :P
Adm H Sopko (6:41:55 AM): Many, many things happened with the Marquis, Lea, the Eliminators and the HUNTERs. We didn't influence them at all. Woulda turned out the same up until this point if we weren't there
Adm H Sopko (6:42:37 AM): I know that<G>
SirAlextheFirst (6:42:43 AM): Nah.
SirAlextheFirst (6:42:47 AM): She would have had Shadow.
SirAlextheFirst (6:43:04 AM): Since he would not have run away if he didn't know you guys were close behind.
Adm H Sopko (6:43:21 AM): Doesn't change all that much.
Adm H Sopko (6:43:35 AM): She had an extra cat to save her in the pool, thats about it.
SirAlextheFirst (6:44:12 AM): Silly. She might not have gone to the pool
AndrewRogue (6:45:38 AM): Well... anyway guys, I need to sleep a bit. Night.
Adm H Sopko (6:45:44 AM): Just because Shadow is there wouldn't change that
(6:45:53 AM) AndrewRogue has left the room.
SirAlextheFirst (6:46:01 AM): Good ni
SirAlextheFirst (6:46:02 AM): Nuts.
SirAlextheFirst (6:46:07 AM): It might.
SirAlextheFirst (6:46:09 AM): You never know.
Adm H Sopko (6:48:41 AM): ::Shrugs::
Adm H Sopko (6:50:32 AM): Heh... I almost exploded when Bandon stepped out in front of the Marquis
SirAlextheFirst (6:50:46 AM): Why?
Adm H Sopko (6:52:42 AM): Meh. Like I said. I'd rather not deal with the Marquis at this moment, so I told everyone to just let him by so we can just go our separate ways.
SirAlextheFirst (6:53:48 AM): Heh
Adm H Sopko (6:54:44 AM): But Kirk steps out in front of his own character...
SirAlextheFirst (6:55:39 AM): Eh. He's a good roleplayer.
Adm H Sopko (6:57:27 AM): ::Nods and shrugs:: I perfectly understand it goes along with the character... doesn't negate the fact that I slapped my forehead afterwards<G>
Adm H Sopko (7:03:32 AM): Well, I'm done venting<G>
SirAlextheFirst (7:04:12 AM): Good night, then, unless you have any questions you'd like me to answer.
Adm H Sopko (7:04:50 AM): I have a joke question, but you might get a bit offended.
SirAlextheFirst (7:05:15 AM): Go for it
SirAlextheFirst (7:05:25 AM): I am nearly unoffendable/
Adm H Sopko (7:06:05 AM): How much of this dungeon are you pulling out of your ass?<G>
SirAlextheFirst (7:06:20 AM): Hah, be more specific.
Adm H Sopko (7:06:38 AM): Layout-wise
SirAlextheFirst (7:07:20 AM): I actually have all the bits and pieces of the layout mapped out.
SirAlextheFirst (7:07:32 AM): The doors, now, those are kinda random.
Adm H Sopko (7:07:46 AM): ::Nods:
Adm H Sopko (7:08:19 AM): I guess I'll have to wait and see how much of my initial theory was right?
SirAlextheFirst (7:08:25 AM): What theory?
Adm H Sopko (7:09:40 AM): Adm H Sopko (1:04:03 AM): ::Sighs:: "Wonderful. I think going through one of the main exits resets everything back. You can open the door once, but it'll change after that. Going through an exit sets them back to
SirAlextheFirst (7:10:09 AM): Oh.
SirAlextheFirst (7:10:13 AM): No, you're wrong.
Adm H Sopko (7:10:19 AM): K
Adm H Sopko (7:11:56 AM): So I guess we ran into the second right door running away?
SirAlextheFirst (7:12:24 AM): Guh?
SirAlextheFirst (7:12:35 AM): No, you went through the first left door.
SirAlextheFirst (7:12:49 AM): Then you went through the first right door in the new hall.
Adm H Sopko (7:13:50 AM): So is it correct to say that any room can show up behind any door that isn't an exit?
SirAlextheFirst (7:14:15 AM): Not ANY room.
SirAlextheFirst (7:14:25 AM): And there are no set exits.
Adm H Sopko (7:15:30 AM): How the hell are we supposed to get out?
SirAlextheFirst (7:15:41 AM): Make an exit.
Adm H Sopko (7:16:28 AM): Make one? Like in Beetlejuice?
SirAlextheFirst (7:16:36 AM): ?
SirAlextheFirst (7:16:42 AM): I've never seen that.
Adm H Sopko (7:16:48 AM): They draw a door on the wall and knock three times
SirAlextheFirst (7:16:57 AM): That's stupid.
Adm H Sopko (7:17:10 AM): The wall opens up to the afterlife clerical offices
Adm H Sopko (7:18:26 AM): Funny movie.
SirAlextheFirst (7:18:35 AM): Oh, well yeah, you can die, too.'
Adm H Sopko (7:18:43 AM): But make an exit?
