(11:34:33 PM) You have just entered room "FuturesPast."
(11:34:40 PM) AndrewRogue has entered the room.
(11:34:46 PM) Sarcazmo47 has entered the room.
AndrewRogue (11:34:48 PM): Well, heya.
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:34:49 PM): Thought it would be a good name, jes necest pa?
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:34:54 PM): *ne' cest
Sarcazmo47 (11:35:18 PM): Where's Gaspar?
(11:35:19 PM) Adm H Sopko has entered the room.
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:35:21 PM): And there's a good chance I misspelled that
SirAlextheFirst (11:35:25 PM): There's Gaspar!
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:35:29 PM): Gaspar?
Adm H Sopko (11:35:30 PM): Uh-oh... this is where I fall down
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:35:37 PM): OMG T3H W00T!
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:35:45 PM): T3H W153M4N!
AndrewRogue (11:35:51 PM): Well, lookie. The crowd is all here.
SirAlextheFirst (11:35:56 PM): Okay. So, Gil wants to go back and not die.
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:35:59 PM): ^_~ *huggles Chrono Trigger*
Sarcazmo47 (11:36:02 PM): If this turns into an impromptu DnD session, I'm going to shoot myself.
Sarcazmo47 (11:36:06 PM): And then keep playing.
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:36:16 PM): Nah.
SirAlextheFirst (11:36:17 PM): Shoot away then. There's RPing to be done.
SirAlextheFirst (11:36:23 PM): Unless nobody else wants to
AndrewRogue (11:36:31 PM): Bah Gil, I had to die too :p
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:36:32 PM): I just wanna see if I could not die, for the most part, since being autokilled kinda sucks. :P
Sarcazmo47 (11:36:35 PM): Oh, I'm there. *pistol in hand*
SirAlextheFirst (11:36:48 PM): Your death was quite fairly rolled out, you know. But anyways.
Adm H Sopko (11:36:53 PM): Sure, but if we do, I would like to independantly go back one day and try to get out alone
Adm H Sopko (11:37:17 PM): From the place I would've started, of course
SirAlextheFirst (11:37:35 PM): Hunter: You stayed with Lea and did not go into the lake.
SirAlextheFirst (11:37:38 PM): Lea is scared.
SirAlextheFirst (11:37:43 PM): Shadow is hurting.
AndrewRogue (11:37:44 PM): I gave him the log ^_^
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:37:46 PM): Well if I die (again) I might make a wizard, since this group at least needs a mage. >_>
SirAlextheFirst (11:37:53 PM): Ava is also kinda scared.
Adm H Sopko (11:37:58 PM): So... we are keeping everyone dead?
(11:38:05 PM) ForceJedi2001 has entered the room.
(11:38:07 PM) JeissFiesm has entered the room.
ForceJedi2001 (11:38:11 PM): whoa, hola
SirAlextheFirst (11:38:16 PM): Hello.
JeissFiesm (11:38:18 PM): hola indeed
Sarcazmo47 (11:38:24 PM): Don't do that, Gil.
Sarcazmo47 (11:38:29 PM): I've already got it covered.
SirAlextheFirst (11:38:32 PM): If y'all would like to make characters, we'll probably start that up tonight.
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:38:32 PM): o_O
ForceJedi2001 (11:38:44 PM): you guys playing tonight?
Sarcazmo47 (11:38:45 PM): You think you the only dead one?
SirAlextheFirst (11:38:50 PM): Kind of.
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:38:55 PM): You die from the snake sigil?
SirAlextheFirst (11:38:55 PM): Impromptu lil session.
SirAlextheFirst (11:39:15 PM): Since the party met a sad fate last night, and everyone is on, and classes are cancelled.
AndrewRogue (11:39:35 PM): *still has classes tomorrow ;_;*
Adm H Sopko (11:39:44 PM): I'm alive ;-;
Sarcazmo47 (11:39:47 PM): Classes canceled?
SirAlextheFirst (11:39:51 PM): Yes, Kirk, we finally got enough snow that they cancelled classes.
Sarcazmo47 (11:40:01 PM): Thought it was the strike...
SirAlextheFirst (11:40:05 PM): No.
AndrewRogue (11:40:06 PM): I got gyped snow wise <_<
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:40:09 PM): Anyway....
Sarcazmo47 (11:40:10 PM): Good.
SirAlextheFirst (11:40:13 PM): Big ice rain and 4 feet of snow.
SirAlextheFirst (11:40:14 PM): ANyways.
AndrewRogue (11:40:21 PM): Er, anyways...?
SirAlextheFirst (11:40:30 PM): We are rewinding in time one round.
AndrewRogue (11:41:23 PM): Uh...could you lay out what this one round is?
SirAlextheFirst (11:41:26 PM): Jacynth, on his last action, resisted the effects of the Bathtub Monster and made it to the surface.
ForceJedi2001 (11:41:59 PM): ooc bathtub monster? LOL
SirAlextheFirst (11:42:01 PM): Aria attempted to break the statue's grip, and failed, and Jacynth, if he is looking over there, sees the statue neatly behead her.
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:42:15 PM): (...Hey, Alex?)
AndrewRogue (11:42:26 PM): (Whee, I'm still very dead! ^_~)
SirAlextheFirst (11:42:28 PM): Yeeeees?
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:43:14 PM): (Just curious: If you're going to do hit locations and such like the neck crush and other stuff, whats to stop a level 1 sorcerer with True Strike killing everything via headshots and heartshots? :P)
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:43:58 PM): Anyway...Anyone remember init, or do we need to reroll? (*is pretty sure he goes last in the round anyway*)
AndrewRogue (11:44:11 PM): I'm dead. No more init for me :p
SirAlextheFirst (11:44:16 PM): (Explanation: The statue's choke ability takes 1d4 x 25% of the victim's current HP. A 4, obviously, is ALL their HP, and I threw a beheading with the axe on for show.)
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:44:24 PM): (....)
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:44:31 PM): (That is so increadibly insane.)
AndrewRogue (11:44:39 PM): (OH! That explains the d4 *fwaps self*)
SirAlextheFirst (11:44:41 PM): (Why, yes, yes it is.)
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:45:12 PM): (Why the Hell would you give something such a fucked up and overpowered ability? X_x)
Sarcazmo47 (11:45:30 PM): (Cuz he felt like it, fool. Roll the dice.)
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:45:38 PM): (Thats never an answer. ;P)
Sarcazmo47 (11:45:51 PM): (Sure it is. You just don't like it.)
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:46:02 PM): (Christ, not even CR 60 shit can instant death you with no save. :P)
SirAlextheFirst (11:46:03 PM): It is now the Bathtub Monster's turn; would you like us to take the results of what it got last time, or redo it here?
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:46:20 PM): Redo. Since I have no idea what the results were.
SirAlextheFirst (11:46:26 PM): (You do get a Fort save to resist it, remember. In addition to the grapple check it has to make.)
Sarcazmo47 (11:46:26 PM): ((Actually it can, and there is a save.))
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:46:58 PM): (....Whats the fort save?)
SirAlextheFirst (11:47:12 PM): (The DC of the fort save is the result of the statue's grapple check.)
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:47:16 PM): (....)
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:47:27 PM): (Yeah, and what's it's grapple bonus?)
SirAlextheFirst (11:47:38 PM): (Basically, it rolls a grapple, and you get a grapple and a fort. If either succeeds, nothign happens.)
SirAlextheFirst (11:47:41 PM): Moving along now...
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:48:01 PM): (Alex, you need to learn how to balance your monsters. Jesus. X_x)
AndrewRogue (11:48:14 PM): (Guys... can we argue this a little bit later? I want to stay on the whole session, but I'm running on 3 hours of sleep ^_~)
SirAlextheFirst (11:48:21 PM): Moving along now....
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:48:37 PM): (*is unsure who goes first* Monster or me?)
SirAlextheFirst (11:48:41 PM): The monster's turn.
SirAlextheFirst (11:48:49 PM): Your turn was getting to the surface, remember.
Adm H Sopko (11:48:54 PM): (Remind me never to make a room with the name Property of Ones. It's a bad omen)
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:48:56 PM): (Ah. Okay.)
SirAlextheFirst (11:49:11 PM): It will attempt to grab you with its other five tentacles.
SirAlextheFirst (11:49:18 PM): Touch attacks, all.
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:49:20 PM): (Next time name the room "All the PC's always roll 20's")
*OnlineHost* (11:49:31 PM): SirAlextheFirst rolled 5 20-sided dice: 12 1 1 11 4
SirAlextheFirst (11:49:39 PM): My, my.
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:49:42 PM): Touch AC is 13, same as always.
Adm H Sopko (11:49:49 PM): Just saying the name here fucked Alex's rolls<G>
SirAlextheFirst (11:49:52 PM): Crit miss confirms.
*OnlineHost* (11:49:54 PM): SirAlextheFirst rolled 2 20-sided dice: 14 11
SirAlextheFirst (11:50:03 PM): No crit misses.
SirAlextheFirst (11:50:42 PM): You are hit with three more tentacles.
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:50:52 PM): (Aaie.)
SirAlextheFirst (11:50:54 PM): 3 damage from that, and three grapple checks.
*OnlineHost* (11:51:02 PM): SirAlextheFirst rolled 3 20-sided dice: 10 15 10

Sarcazmo47 (11:51:37 PM): Will saves?
SirAlextheFirst (11:51:39 PM): One successful grab.
SirAlextheFirst (11:51:46 PM): Four will saves, now.
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:51:55 PM): ...4 will saves? o_O
*OnlineHost* (11:52:13 PM): MysteryGiIgamesh rolled 4 20-sided dice: 20 13 10 11
SirAlextheFirst (11:52:15 PM): You got hit by 3, and still have 1 on from last round.
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:52:46 PM): 25, 18, 15, 16
AndrewRogue (11:53:00 PM): (*insert Hentai Tentacle Demon joke here*)
SirAlextheFirst (11:53:34 PM): Success! You resist the encroaching lethargy.
Sarcazmo47 (11:53:47 PM): 1 Damage?
AndrewRogue (11:54:13 PM): (*wonders if Gil can pull this off*)
SirAlextheFirst (11:54:16 PM): And then, the Bathtub Monster will swim straight down. Opposed grapple checks are in order, I think.
*OnlineHost* (11:54:21 PM): SirAlextheFirst rolled 1 20-sided die: 5
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:54:22 PM): Wait a sec.
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:54:37 PM): How can it full attack and still move all the way?
SirAlextheFirst (11:55:17 PM): It didn't.
SirAlextheFirst (11:55:38 PM): Grapple, please. Or a Swim check, if you prefer that.
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:55:39 PM): (? So it's only moving 5ft down then?)
*OnlineHost* (11:55:42 PM): MysteryGiIgamesh rolled 1 20-sided die: 11
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:55:46 PM): 19
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:56:01 PM): (Or, trying to move 5ft down.)
SirAlextheFirst (11:56:20 PM): As long as it can hold you there, 5 feet away from air is as good as 50 feet. But no, you resist its pull. For now.
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:56:58 PM): Just curious. How thin are these tentacles? Are they big meaty things, or just like little things?
SirAlextheFirst (11:57:16 PM): They are roughly 6 inches in diameter.
SirAlextheFirst (11:57:31 PM): And it is now Jacynth's action.
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:58:03 PM): (*tries to get mental image of that, fails because he sucks at math*) *tries to break free and get the Hell outta there*
SirAlextheFirst (11:58:16 PM): Two grapple checks.
*OnlineHost* (11:58:19 PM): SirAlextheFirst rolled 2 20-sided dice: 15 11
*OnlineHost*
(11:58:25 PM): MysteryGiIgamesh rolled 2 20-sided dice: 14 7
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:58:33 PM): Something tells me that don't cut it.
SirAlextheFirst (11:58:46 PM): Totals?
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:58:58 PM): 22 and 165
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:59:00 PM): *15
SirAlextheFirst (12:00:06 AM): You almost break out of the first tentacle, but alas, ties go to the defender. And the second one is just right out then.'
SirAlextheFirst (12:00:25 AM): Would you like to swim somewhere, and try to drag the beast with you?
MysteryGiIgamesh (12:00:25 AM): Aren't I the defender, though?
MysteryGiIgamesh (12:00:36 AM): Since it's the one strangling the shit out of *me*./
SirAlextheFirst (12:00:39 AM): You are initiating the checks.
MysteryGiIgamesh (12:01:19 AM): And sure....Grab onto the bridge and try and houst myself up?
MysteryGiIgamesh (12:01:27 AM): *hoist
MysteryGiIgamesh (12:01:35 AM): (Christ, my spelling is in the crapped tonight. X_x)
MysteryGiIgamesh (12:01:40 AM): *crapper
SirAlextheFirst (12:01:59 AM): ...go for it...
*OnlineHost* (12:02:02 AM): MysteryGiIgamesh rolled 1 20-sided die: 14
MysteryGiIgamesh (12:02:16 AM): Eh...Climb, I'm guessing?
SirAlextheFirst (12:02:18 AM): Climb check to ascend 5 feet out of water, fully clothed, dragging bathtub monster.
MysteryGiIgamesh (12:02:25 AM): 20 total
SirAlextheFirst (12:02:30 AM): No dice.
MysteryGiIgamesh (12:02:36 AM): Wait a sec.
MysteryGiIgamesh (12:02:41 AM): How much does it weigh?
Sarcazmo47 (12:03:22 AM): If it's resisting and not just dead weight, that's kind of a moot point, isn't it?
SirAlextheFirst (12:03:44 AM): More than you can easily lift.
MysteryGiIgamesh (12:03:52 AM): I can lift at least 300
MysteryGiIgamesh (12:04:04 AM): Oh, whoops. 230
MysteryGiIgamesh (12:04:24 AM): Well, lifting is double carrying.
MysteryGiIgamesh (12:04:28 AM): So...460.
MysteryGiIgamesh (12:04:37 AM): Probably more if I pushed myself.
MysteryGiIgamesh (12:04:59 AM): (And if it's more than 460 pounds, it's one big mutha. X_x)
AndrewRogue (12:05:04 AM): (Try climbing with that weight though :p *watches TV*)
MysteryGiIgamesh (12:05:19 AM): (Eh, true. But hey, it's worth a shot.)
SirAlextheFirst (12:05:27 AM): No dice.
MysteryGiIgamesh (12:05:27 AM): (D&D is fantasy, after all. ^_~)
Adm H Sopko (12:06:16 AM): Soo.... I guess I'm up?
AndrewRogue (12:06:31 AM): (Nah, go ahead Gil. I'm just playing with ya :p Struggle to survive!)
Sarcazmo47 (12:07:27 AM): Don't forget Bandon's turn!
AndrewRogue (12:08:00 AM): Sepia Timer: 11 days 23 hours 9 minutes!
MysteryGiIgamesh (12:08:01 AM): (Well, monster's turn then, I suppose.)
SirAlextheFirst (12:08:13 AM): Yep.
SirAlextheFirst (12:08:22 AM): The statue lumbers towards you.
SirAlextheFirst (12:08:56 AM): And the Bathtub Monster strikes again.
SirAlextheFirst (12:09:12 AM): Four tentacles, grabbing.
*OnlineHost* (12:09:26 AM): SirAlextheFirst rolled 4 20-sided dice: 1 8 8 15
SirAlextheFirst (12:10:12 AM): .......
*OnlineHost* (12:10:13 AM): SirAlextheFirst rolled 1 20-sided die: 7
SirAlextheFirst (12:10:20 AM): Gooooo 1's
MysteryGiIgamesh (12:10:33 AM): I'm curious as to gow he can't touch himself on those number's yet he can touch me. X_x
MysteryGiIgamesh (12:10:37 AM): *how
MysteryGiIgamesh (12:11:13 AM): (I'm almost scared to ask what it's dex mod would be, since it's got at least +8 to hit. >_>)
Adm H Sopko (12:11:31 AM): C'mon, Jac. I survived a Dracoroach with 4d6 Breath damage EVERY ROUND with only 39 HP
MysteryGiIgamesh (12:11:33 AM): So, all hit save the one, I'm guessing?
SirAlextheFirst (12:11:38 AM): Yep.
MysteryGiIgamesh (12:11:45 AM): Dracobreath allows reflex saves.
MysteryGiIgamesh (12:11:51 AM): Touch attacks don't. :P
Adm H Sopko (12:11:58 AM): You still get damaged on a successful save
MysteryGiIgamesh (12:12:06 AM): Yes, but very little damage.
Adm H Sopko (12:12:10 AM): Half
MysteryGiIgamesh (12:12:22 AM): 6 damage on average, dude.
SirAlextheFirst (12:12:23 AM): You're taking penalties from being grappled by some tentacles already, foo. 5 on you now. 5 damage, 5 will saves, 3 grapple checks.
*OnlineHost* (12:12:45 AM): MysteryGiIgamesh rolled 5 20-sided dice: 15 18 7 16 18
Adm H Sopko (12:12:48 AM): That 7 a critical miss?
MysteryGiIgamesh (12:13:07 AM): 12 on the 7, the other's are probably enough to pass.
Sarcazmo47 (12:13:12 AM): How much HP you have there, Jac?
MysteryGiIgamesh (12:13:17 AM): Right now? 2. :P
Sarcazmo47 (12:13:22 AM): Niiiice.
SirAlextheFirst (12:13:38 AM): Failed. It's over.
MysteryGiIgamesh (12:13:42 AM): Yeah. I think it's time to make something hardcore if Alex is going to throw beasties of doom at us.
MysteryGiIgamesh (12:13:46 AM): :P
Adm H Sopko (12:13:58 AM): Oh boy oh boy. I'm up
SirAlextheFirst (12:14:27 AM): Suddenly, you just don't want to struggle anymore. This water is so nice and cool, so very cool... you can't feel your body.... nobody needs to breath, do th- *darkness*
SirAlextheFirst (12:14:49 AM): Camera swap!
SirAlextheFirst (12:14:55 AM): And... brb
AndrewRogue (12:15:05 AM): (Oh, he gets to die peacefully and Aria loses her head? </sarcastic whine>)
MysteryGiIgamesh (12:15:22 AM): (I wouldn't call being sucked under by a hentai beast peaceful.)
MysteryGiIgamesh (12:15:37 AM): (I'd call it "OH SWEET MERCIFUL FUCK MY ASS!")
Adm H Sopko (12:15:41 AM): (He's most likely going to be eaten)
MysteryGiIgamesh (12:15:55 AM): (Eh, he won't like my taste.)
MysteryGiIgamesh (12:16:13 AM): (Since...You know those expoding firery arrows?)
JeissFiesm (12:16:13 AM): (Sloppy seconds huh?)
Adm H Sopko (12:16:16 AM): ("Alas, poor Aria, I knew her well")
MysteryGiIgamesh (12:16:26 AM): *exploding
MysteryGiIgamesh (12:16:47 AM): (I'd think fire down the gullet might at least give it a stomacache. 28d4 would do that to ya'.)
Adm H Sopko (12:17:11 AM): (They'd go off if he ate Jac?)
MysteryGiIgamesh (12:17:33 AM): (Only reason they didn't go off already is because it didn't grab him high enough.)
MysteryGiIgamesh (12:17:53 AM): (Jac would've been a living fireball had he grabbed maybe a half a foot higher.)
Adm H Sopko (12:18:19 AM): (Hopefully the thing eats him)
MysteryGiIgamesh (12:18:45 AM): (Mm. Fatal indigestion, since the damage is per round until it can extinguish the flames, and good luck doing that on the inside.)
SirAlextheFirst (12:19:14 AM): Okay. I may have to leave in a while.
Adm H Sopko (12:19:21 AM): (ARGH<G>)
SirAlextheFirst (12:19:25 AM): Soppy! Go!
SirAlextheFirst (12:19:40 AM): You've just gotten a lot of garbled static on your circlet.
Adm H Sopko (12:20:17 AM): ::Unbeknownst why to him but knownst to us, Soppy remained behind with Lea. He blinks and concentrates, trying to make sense of the static::
SirAlextheFirst (12:20:48 AM): No sense is possible to be made.
Sarcazmo47 (12:21:04 AM): ::Bandon stands there::
Adm H Sopko (12:21:17 AM): ~Aria! Jac! What is it?! Hello?!~
SirAlextheFirst (12:21:47 AM): You get more static, and then nothing.
Adm H Sopko (12:22:11 AM): ::He looks over to Lea:: "We're gonna have to get going now... How is Shadow?"
SirAlextheFirst (12:22:51 AM): Shadow: whimper, twitch
SirAlextheFirst (12:23:19 AM): Lea: "Pretty shook up, but he'll be all right."
Adm H Sopko (12:23:43 AM): ::He kneels down to the kitty and pats it's head:: "I'm sorry... I shouldn't have left you behind like that."
Adm H Sopko (12:25:40 AM): (Lag?)
Adm H Sopko (12:25:45 AM): (Nope....)
SirAlextheFirst (12:26:36 AM): Shadow curls around you.
Adm H Sopko (12:27:22 AM): ::Sighs softly, then stands:: "We can't stay here, Lea. We have to follow them."
SirAlextheFirst (12:28:18 AM): She doesn't move. "But... they went in there."
Adm H Sopko (12:29:20 AM): "Yeah. And we have to catch up to them. I was against staying behind before. We've had our rest, now we play catchup"
SirAlextheFirst (12:30:07 AM): Lea looks positively horrified at the prospect of going across the pool again, but Shadow and Ava walk up to Hunter, and she timidly follows.
Adm H Sopko (12:31:08 AM): "I'm not leaving you behind, Lea. That would be even stupider than splitting up in the first place. Please..."
SirAlextheFirst (12:32:40 AM): Her eyes locked on the water, Lea nods.
Adm H Sopko (12:34:00 AM): ::He smiles warmly to her:: "Thank you." ::He turns to the water, motioning her to follow::
SirAlextheFirst (12:34:49 AM): She'll follow, what are you doing?
Adm H Sopko (12:35:13 AM): Swimming across
SirAlextheFirst (12:35:21 AM): Swim check.

*OnlineHost* (12:36:04 AM): SirAlextheFirst rolled 1 20-sided die: 18
SirAlextheFirst (12:36:10 AM): Is sinking.
Adm H Sopko (12:36:32 AM): Do I notice?
SirAlextheFirst (12:36:39 AM): Yes.
Sarcazmo47 (12:37:04 AM): Feel lucky he didn't drown completely.
Adm H Sopko (12:37:10 AM): ::Hunter immediately moves to Shadow, calling out:: "Lea! Shadow... he's having trouble!"

(12:37:40 AM): SirAlextheFirst rolled 1 20-sided die: 15
SirAlextheFirst (12:37:53 AM): Lea and Ava instantly turn back and help Shadow get back to the surface.

Adm H Sopko (12:41:02 AM): 14. 16 if Hummer, 18 if Human
SirAlextheFirst (12:41:03 AM): You notice blood on the floor on the ledge at the end of the bridge.
SirAlextheFirst (12:41:09 AM): And you hear nothing.
SirAlextheFirst (12:42:02 AM): As with the others, this ledge is as it was. Two statues of elves with no eyes, a natural column of rock, and behind it a door, open to reveal a bright green glow.
Adm H Sopko (12:42:03 AM): 15 on the last swim check
SirAlextheFirst (12:42:58 AM): Everything is fine and everyone is here.
Adm H Sopko (12:43:18 AM): ::Hunter, after making sure everyone makes it out of the water, walks to the two statues, inspecting them closely::

SirAlextheFirst (12:49:27 AM): It is a natural stone pillar.
SirAlextheFirst (12:49:47 AM): You do notice a huge pool of blood beginning to form on the ledge near the water.
Sarcazmo47 (12:50:10 AM): That's not wierd at all.
SirAlextheFirst (12:50:10 AM): Lea notices it too, and gasps. The cats back away.
AndrewRogue (12:50:34 AM): (Don't you hate those cross-dimensional stains? So tough to get out -_-)

SirAlextheFirst (12:53:12 AM): At least, not for a little while. Then you notice blood all over the hands of the statue on that side.
Adm H Sopko (12:53:55 AM): ::He gapes, looking over to Leatanna:: "I don't like this one bit."
SirAlextheFirst (12:54:43 AM): "Neither do I."
Adm H Sopko (12:55:29 AM): "We should continue... but be careful. This door is most likely just like every other door in this damned place." ::He moves forward to the door::
SirAlextheFirst (12:56:23 AM): This door is open, though.
SirAlextheFirst (12:56:29 AM): Need the description again?
Adm H Sopko (12:56:58 AM): Sure.
SirAlextheFirst (12:57:02 AM): It's a small, hollowed-out cavern of a room, containing a bed, a chair, and a desk. Nearly identical to the one in the dracoroach lair.
SirAlextheFirst (12:57:12 AM): The desk has nothing on it, and the top drawer is open.
Adm H Sopko (12:57:36 AM): ::He blinks, having a bad feeling of deja vu:: "I REALLY don't like this..."
SirAlextheFirst (12:57:36 AM): In addition, Bandon is lying against a wall.
Adm H Sopko (12:57:58 AM): ::He then runs to Bandon:: "Bandon! What happened?!"
SirAlextheFirst (12:57:59 AM): He's enclosed in a shimmering amber energy field, and isn't moving. His eyes are open with an expression of shock.
Adm H Sopko (12:59:07 AM): ::He stops short, a bit in shock himself:: "Oh no... but... where are Jac and Aria..?" ::He looks around for them::
SirAlextheFirst (12:59:41 AM): They're not in here, that's for sure.
SirAlextheFirst (12:59:43 AM): Oh, the glow.
SirAlextheFirst (1:00:05 AM): The green light comes from a sort of plant or fungus which is growing all over the walls, floor and ceiling.
Adm H Sopko (1:00:41 AM): Knowledge check to identify?
SirAlextheFirst (1:00:50 AM): Knowledge: Nature.

Adm H Sopko (1:01:19 AM): ::Sighs, looking over to Lea:: "Can you make heads or tails of any of this?"
SirAlextheFirst (1:01:50 AM): Lea is bending over Bandon.
SirAlextheFirst (1:02:00 AM): "Have you ever seen anything like this before?"
Adm H Sopko (1:02:18 AM): ::Shakes his head:: "No, never. Why?"
SirAlextheFirst (1:02:59 AM): "I haven't, either. It looks like some sort of magic. Do you think he could still be alive?"
Adm H Sopko (1:03:31 AM): "Possible. I've seen stranger things..."
SirAlextheFirst (1:05:18 AM): Her hand strays to her pack. "I wonder if..."
Adm H Sopko (1:05:46 AM): "What?"
SirAlextheFirst (1:07:07 AM): "I was given some tools to help if our target turned hostile, or troublesome. One of them is for dispelling magic."
Adm H Sopko (1:07:43 AM): "Go for it. What are the other ones?"
SirAlextheFirst (1:08:44 AM): "Drugs, munitions. Nothing important." She waves you off, and takes out a small, thin rod from one of the pack's pockets.
Adm H Sopko (1:09:10 AM): "Munitions? What kind?"

Adm H Sopko (1:12:13 AM): ::Chuckles a bit, but is relieved at the familiar face:: "Bandon... where are Jac and Aria?"
Sarcazmo47 (1:12:45 AM): Bandon stands up, brushes himself off, and looks around.
Sarcazmo47 (1:12:56 AM): "They were just here before that snake bit me."
Sarcazmo47 (1:13:03 AM): He looks very confused.
Adm H Sopko (1:13:47 AM): "Snake bit you?"
Sarcazmo47 (1:14:11 AM): "Yes, a snake jumped out of-" Bandon stops and looks around again.
Sarcazmo47 (1:14:59 AM): "I was reading a notebook, and a snake jumped out of it and bit me, and then you appeared, the book was gone, and Aria and Jac disappeared."
Adm H Sopko (1:15:36 AM): "I'm beginning to get very afraid... we found a large pool of blood on the way here..."
Sarcazmo47 (1:19:30 AM): Bandon gets a panicked look on his face and sprints out the door.
SirAlextheFirst (1:20:08 AM): The cats follow him, and Lea waves at Hunter to come, too.
Adm H Sopko (1:20:34 AM): "Bandon you fool! Don't keep running off like this!" ::He follows, a bit more cautious::

SirAlextheFirst (1:23:35 AM): And the statue steps into view - the elven statue, or one of them, but animated, and carrying one of those distinctive axes. The axe, and its open hand, are covered in blood.

SirAlextheFirst (2:01:00 AM): A clothed and armored, but decapitated, Aria (and her head) fade into appearance on a side of the ledge.
SirAlextheFirst (2:01:32 AM): Shadow and Ava ignore all of this and jump at the statue some more.
Adm H Sopko (2:01:36 AM): AndHunter preemptively takes a Barbarian level. Prepare for rage<G>

SirAlextheFirst (2:02:56 AM): Wow.
SirAlextheFirst (2:03:08 AM): You've never seen cats tear a rock to pieces before.
Adm H Sopko (2:03:25 AM): ((::Kisses Shadow:: I love you. ::Kisses Ava:: And I love you))
SirAlextheFirst (2:03:50 AM): But that's what happens - the statue's midsection seems soft, as though it were partially melted, when they tear at it, and the statue collapses in twain.
SirAlextheFirst (2:04:17 AM): Lea backs away.
SirAlextheFirst (2:04:19 AM): Bandon?
Sarcazmo47 (2:04:53 AM): Run over to decapitated corpse.
Sarcazmo47 (2:04:58 AM): Cry.
SirAlextheFirst (2:05:23 AM): Why are you crying? You just got to see Aria's body nearly naked!
SirAlextheFirst (2:05:46 AM): Anyways.
AndrewRogue (2:05:48 AM): (XD)
Sarcazmo47 (2:05:54 AM): Unfortunately, Bandon does not have the Lichloved feat.
AndrewRogue (2:06:12 AM): (less XD, more O_o)
SirAlextheFirst (2:06:13 AM): The waves subside, and all is still once more.
Sarcazmo47 (2:07:20 AM): Eventually, Bandon will get over his tears and check if Aria's corpse still has the notebook he was reading.
Adm H Sopko (2:07:31 AM): ::After the Hummer disappears, Hunter blinks in sudden realization of the familiarity of the creature. Seeing Bandon running over, he follows, going to see what is over there::
SirAlextheFirst (2:08:12 AM): It's Aria. She's dead.
SirAlextheFirst (2:08:47 AM): Her head lies a couple feet from her body. Her neck is crushed around the cut area.
SirAlextheFirst (2:09:09 AM): The guisarme lies by her, and all her possessions are there, too.
Adm H Sopko (2:09:51 AM): ::Hunter drops his weapons, too in shock to move or have much muscle control. His muscles begin to spasm slightly as he falls to his knees, shivering and moving a bit closer to the corpse, repeating Aria's name softly::
Sarcazmo47 (2:11:05 AM): Right. Well lacking spells of any sort, Bandon will take the notebook, stand, and walk back toward the little room with the bed, crying silently.
SirAlextheFirst (2:12:22 AM): Shadow, Ava, and Lea have no idea what to do.
SirAlextheFirst (2:12:27 AM): Lea cries with Hunter.
Adm H Sopko (2:13:03 AM): ::Hunter... is a little less in control. He picks up aria's headless body, putting it upright and clutching it:: "No... nononoo... not you... Anyone but you... Arianna... not this again... MomQueklainNash now you!"
Adm H Sopko (2:13:15 AM): (sitting it upright)
MysteryGiIgamesh (2:13:23 AM): (And the only person that'd cry for Jac isn't here. *sighs*)
Adm H Sopko (2:13:45 AM): (Hunter would be sad. He thinks your still alive)
Sarcazmo47 (2:14:05 AM): ((No Beer and No TV make Hunter something something....))
MysteryGiIgamesh (2:14:34 AM): (Well Jac sure as Hell ain't around, and he isn't responding to the telepath calls, so it should be obvious something happened.)
Sarcazmo47 (2:14:37 AM): So, Bandon goes in the room, gets some sheets or a blanket or something, and goes to bring it back out.
SirAlextheFirst (2:14:47 AM): You get the sheets from the bed?
Sarcazmo47 (2:14:51 AM): RIght.
MysteryGiIgamesh (2:15:01 AM): (Unless the monster swallowed my ass whole, in which case if I wake up in the belly of the beast, I am fucking gnawing my way out. :P)
SirAlextheFirst (2:15:06 AM): You're aware that they have deep, dark stains in the center, and are rather worn?
MysteryGiIgamesh (2:15:14 AM): (Eww.)
Sarcazmo47 (2:15:22 AM): Is there anything else in the damn room to cover a body with?
SirAlextheFirst (2:15:43 AM): You could tear pages out of the Shakespeare books.
Adm H Sopko (2:15:46 AM): ::Hunter crawls over, picking up her head and cradling it gently:: "Please... please please please no.... Arianna... poor Arianna... I just... we were all getting to know each other so well! NO! NOT AGAIN!"
Adm H Sopko (2:15:57 AM): ((There are two references in that line)
Sarcazmo47 (2:16:09 AM): I'll take the sheets. Do I hear Hunter flipping out?
SirAlextheFirst (2:16:26 AM): I'd imagine he's being rather loud.
Sarcazmo47 (2:17:19 AM): Well, Bandon will run, book in one hand and wadded up sheets in the other, until he sees Sopko, and then he'll drop both and run straight over until he's right behind the man and grab both his shoulders.
Sarcazmo47 (2:17:25 AM): Will save, there, Hunter.
Adm H Sopko (2:18:03 AM): Damn you and your will saves spoiling my fun!

Adm H Sopko (2:19:11 AM): 14
Sarcazmo47 (2:21:17 AM): Bandon just gets shoved and looks at Hunter with sad puppy eyes.
Sarcazmo47 (2:21:31 AM): "Please, Hunter. You cannot lose yourself. Not here. Not now."
MysteryGiIgamesh (2:21:51 AM): (At this rate, the party'll be dead. X_x)
Adm H Sopko (2:21:59 AM): ::Hunter looks at Bandon with wild eyes, backing away slowly:: "No... you have to get away from me... you too Lea... It's all me... It's been me the whole time!"
Sarcazmo47 (2:23:03 AM): Bandon shakes his head slowly. "To blame yourself for her death is foolishness, Hunter. Calm down, please."
Adm H Sopko (2:23:47 AM): "NO! It is my fault! Just as my mother's death, Queklain, and Nash's were! I'm cursed! You have to get as far away from me as possible! Get out of this place now!"
Adm H Sopko (2:24:51 AM): ::Hunter's body seems to be shaking uncontrollably, his eyes dart around in every direction, furthur adding upon the wild look in them he saw earlier::
Sarcazmo47 (2:25:54 AM): Is he moving away from Bandon?
Adm H Sopko (2:26:20 AM): He's stopped moving backwards. He can't really do much at this point. He does look like a cornered animal though
Sarcazmo47 (2:26:27 AM): Shucks.
Sarcazmo47 (2:27:08 AM): Bandon will slowly walk toward him, palms out, like one would approach a rabid chihuahua.
Sarcazmo47 (2:27:44 AM): "Please, Hunter. We need you right now. Lea and I both need your help."
SirAlextheFirst (2:28:00 AM): (You should probably RP Lea and the cats here, Soppy. I have no idea what to do with them.)
Sarcazmo47 (2:28:12 AM): ((Brother Bandon, Ace Psychologist!))
Adm H Sopko (2:28:17 AM): ::The look on Hunter's face grows in terror:: "I... I said stay away from me! You have a better chance of getting out without me!"
Adm H Sopko (2:29:04 AM): ::The cats look at each other, wanting to help him but not really knowing how. They know full well the look in his eyes, after all, they're animals::
Adm H Sopko (2:29:58 AM): ::Lea, however, approaches slowly next to Bandon:: "Hunter... please... listen to him... we need you for this. It's impossible to get out without you."
Sarcazmo47 (2:31:04 AM): Bandon just stands there, looking sad.
Sarcazmo47 (2:31:12 AM): Being more or less totally useless.
Adm H Sopko (2:31:32 AM): ::Hunter begins to laugh madly:: "No... don't you see what I'm saying, Lea?! Everyone was right! I was responsible for my mother's death! I'm cursed! That bridge should've held, IT SHOULD HAVE HELD! It was my curse
MysteryGiIgamesh (2:32:07 AM): (Become a carpenter?)
Adm H Sopko (2:32:42 AM): that made it collapse! You have to! You have to stay away!" "You wouldn't leave me, Hunter! I'm not leaving you like this! Not now, not ever!"
Adm H Sopko (2:34:02 AM): ::Hunter moves to the side, inching towards the door a bit:: "I mean it... if you won't then I will! I'll prevent it from happening again and get so lost I'll roam these halls for eternity! I'll..." ::He takes a sidestep,
Sarcazmo47 (2:34:19 AM): Bandon just sighs and steps back from Hunter to the edge of the pool, letting Lea handle this.
Sarcazmo47 (2:34:34 AM): Ready an action to stun the boy if he runs for it.
Adm H Sopko (2:34:44 AM): suddenly his knee gives out and he collapses. However, there is a deadish look in his eyes as he falls, hitting the ground like a sack of deadweight::
MysteryGiIgamesh (2:35:11 AM): (We're literally dropping like flies now. Oy.)
Adm H Sopko (2:35:20 AM): (Not dead, just passed out)
MysteryGiIgamesh (2:35:29 AM): (I know, but still. ^_~)
Sarcazmo47 (2:35:45 AM): I think it's time to bust out a Profession: Bartender check.
AndrewRogue (2:36:05 AM): (Oh gawd, another one of those poisoned drink of his? :p)
Sarcazmo47 (2:36:06 AM): On the basis that bartenders listen to peoples problems all the time.
Sarcazmo47 (2:36:19 AM): And know how to give good advice.
MysteryGiIgamesh (2:36:24 AM): (Turn the pool into a giant margarita!)
Adm H Sopko (2:36:30 AM): ::Lea cries out in terror and runs to him, looking him over to figure out just what the hell just happened. When she kneels down, she finds both of his ears are bleeding a bit, as well as his nose::

Sarcazmo47 (2:36:39 AM): 26!
Sarcazmo47 (2:37:00 AM): Right.
Sarcazmo47 (2:37:39 AM): So, Bandon will run over, drag the fellow back to the center of the platform, put one of the raunchy sheets over him and another over Aria's body.
Adm H Sopko (2:37:53 AM): (I'm not dead yet!)
Sarcazmo47 (2:38:11 AM): Over him as in in a warming way, not a dead way.
Adm H Sopko (2:38:23 AM): (There IS a bed)
Sarcazmo47 (2:38:35 AM): Yo udon't want to sleep in that bed.
MysteryGiIgamesh (2:38:46 AM): (For a passed out guy, you sure are demanding. XD)
Adm H Sopko (2:39:08 AM): (Heh. lea would want to get away from the pool anyway)
Sarcazmo47 (2:39:41 AM): Anyhoo. He checks to make sure you're comfortable and not dead and all that...

Sarcazmo47 (2:39:50 AM): 15.
SirAlextheFirst (2:39:52 AM): Lea doesn't go anywhere near that pool.
Sarcazmo47 (2:40:21 AM): Then busts out the book that bit him in the face once already, leans back against the pillar in the middle of the room, and starts to read.
Sarcazmo47 (2:40:51 AM): Starting with the indecipherable page that I was trying to decipher with an INT check of 16.
Sarcazmo47 (2:40:59 AM): ....I think.
SirAlextheFirst (2:41:35 AM): Okay.
SirAlextheFirst (2:41:40 AM): It's gibberish.
Sarcazmo47 (2:43:22 AM): Out freaking standing.
Sarcazmo47 (2:43:31 AM): Next page.
Adm H Sopko (2:43:49 AM): Methinks I know what the gibberish is
Adm H Sopko (2:44:03 AM): Too bad I don't have my badge
SirAlextheFirst (2:44:14 AM): The next page has a quite long poem on it.
SirAlextheFirst (2:46:33 AM): Shall I begin to copy it?
Sarcazmo47 (2:46:41 AM): Is it The Raven?
Adm H Sopko (2:47:00 AM): Thats poe, not Shakesphere
Sarcazmo47 (2:47:05 AM): Right.
Sarcazmo47 (2:47:09 AM): Anyway.
SirAlextheFirst (2:47:19 AM): It is no.
SirAlextheFirst (2:47:21 AM): *not.
Sarcazmo47 (2:47:46 AM): Is it relevant, in a getting-other-people-alive-and-or-integratin g-their-new-characters sort of way?
(2:48:08 AM) Sarcazmo47 has left the room.
MysteryGiIgamesh (2:48:20 AM): (...Well, that was random. o_O)
(2:48:37 AM) Sarcazmo47 has entered the room.
Sarcazmo47 (2:48:40 AM): Ack.
MysteryGiIgamesh (2:48:46 AM): (Comp troubles?)
SirAlextheFirst (2:48:49 AM): *starts poem*
SirAlextheFirst (2:49:06 AM): "In here is a tragedy--- art thou player or audience? Be as it may, the end doth remain: all go on only toward death.
SirAlextheFirst (2:49:28 AM): The first word at thy left hand: a false lunacy, a madly dancing man. Hearing unhearable words, drawn to a beloved's grave---and there, mayhap, true madness at last.
SirAlextheFirst (2:49:43 AM): As did this one playing at death, find true death at last. Killing a nameless lover, she pierced a heart rent by sorrow.
SirAlextheFirst (2:49:51 AM): Doth lie invite truth? Doth verity but wear the mask of falsehood? Ah, thou pitiful, thou miserable ones.
SirAlextheFirst (2:50:00 AM): Still amidst lies, though the end cometh not, wherefore yearn for death? Will thou attend thy beloved? Truths and lies, life and death: a game of turning white to black and black to white.
SirAlextheFirst (2:50:16 AM): Is not a silence brimming with love more precious than flattery? A peaceful slumber preferred to a throne besmirched with blood?
SirAlextheFirst (2:50:25 AM): One vengeful man spilled blood for two; Two youths shed tears for three; Three witches disappeared thusly; And only the four keys remain.
SirAlextheFirst (2:50:45 AM): Ah but verily... In here lies a tragedy. Art thou player or audience? there is something which cannot become a puppet of fate or an onlooker, peering into a cage."
Sarcazmo47 (2:52:13 AM): ((Verity! Whee!))
Sarcazmo47 (2:52:26 AM): Flash of inspiration = Old Master Voegtlin.
Sarcazmo47 (2:52:42 AM): The first word at thy left hand: a false lunacy, a madly dancing man. Hearing unhearable words
Sarcazmo47 (2:53:07 AM): This place =a beloved's grave---and there, mayhap, true madness at last.
SirAlextheFirst (2:53:33 AM): That is all. The poem is divided into short stanzas, where my post breaks are.
Sarcazmo47 (2:53:46 AM): This Place = Truths and lies, life and death: a game of turning white to black and black to white.
Sarcazmo47 (2:57:15 AM): ...Grrr.
Sarcazmo47 (2:57:27 AM): I hate riddles.
Sarcazmo47 (2:57:31 AM): Next page!
SirAlextheFirst (2:57:39 AM): Gibberish.
SirAlextheFirst (2:57:42 AM): Do you read it?
Sarcazmo47 (2:57:49 AM): Not quite yet.
Sarcazmo47 (2:58:55 AM): I take a piece of the sheet and spread it over the gibberish to see if I can make out the markings with something between it and me.
AndrewRogue (3:01:31 AM): (Foolish snake! I have a shield this time!)
Sarcazmo47 (3:01:38 AM): Exactly.
SirAlextheFirst (3:01:48 AM): There's a small symbol of a snake that shines through the sheet at you.
SirAlextheFirst (3:01:56 AM): I think that's what you were lookign for.
Sarcazmo47 (3:01:58 AM): Ha! PUNK!
Sarcazmo47 (3:02:15 AM): Antyhing else that's decipherable on the page?
SirAlextheFirst (3:02:39 AM): No.
Sarcazmo47 (3:02:45 AM): Turn the page.
SirAlextheFirst (3:04:34 AM): Blank sheet of paper.
Sarcazmo47 (3:05:01 AM): Does that describe the rest of the book?
SirAlextheFirst (3:05:11 AM): No. The next page is gibberish again.
SirAlextheFirst (3:05:15 AM): The rest of it is blank.
Sarcazmo47 (3:05:22 AM): Ah.
Sarcazmo47 (3:05:53 AM): Use the old sheet shield to check that last gibberish page for biting snakes and hidden messages.
SirAlextheFirst (3:06:03 AM): Nothing.
Sarcazmo47 (3:06:11 AM): Tarnation.
Sarcazmo47 (3:06:22 AM): Now.
Sarcazmo47 (3:06:34 AM): Can I get a better description of that picture?
SirAlextheFirst (3:07:16 AM): Hoo.
SirAlextheFirst (3:07:22 AM): Yes.
SirAlextheFirst (3:07:29 AM): No.
SirAlextheFirst (3:07:34 AM): It's on the other computer.
SirAlextheFirst (3:07:35 AM): Well.
Sarcazmo47 (3:07:40 AM): Aaaaaaaaaand bedtime for Kirk.
SirAlextheFirst (3:07:47 AM): The woman portrayed is-
SirAlextheFirst (3:07:50 AM): good night, then.
Sarcazmo47 (3:07:58 AM): Night, fools.
AndrewRogue (3:07:58 AM): (night!)
Adm H Sopko (3:08:06 AM): Night
Sarcazmo47 (3:08:12 AM): Ya'll get your characters back now, y'hear?
Adm H Sopko (3:08:31 AM): Lauren again, Alex?
SirAlextheFirst (3:08:34 AM): Yes.
SirAlextheFirst (3:08:41 AM): Short description: Laurne.
SirAlextheFirst (3:08:44 AM): *Lauren.
Sarcazmo47 (3:08:48 AM): Who?
SirAlextheFirst (3:08:59 AM): Bandon's description: Really hot.
SirAlextheFirst (3:09:03 AM): Young blonde woman.
Sarcazmo47 (3:09:05 AM): Righto.
(3:09:07 AM) Sarcazmo47 has left the room.
Adm H Sopko (3:09:25 AM): So...
MysteryGiIgamesh (3:10:05 AM): (So, that leaves one player, who's character is currently unconcious.)
Adm H Sopko (3:10:06 AM): What now?
MysteryGiIgamesh (3:10:19 AM): (I forsee Hunter waking up damned quickly, I hope? >_>)
SirAlextheFirst (3:10:26 AM): Hunter wakes up, yes.
SirAlextheFirst (3:10:36 AM): Aria's having a long scene in IM, has been for a while.
MysteryGiIgamesh (3:10:50 AM): (...)
SirAlextheFirst (3:11:18 AM): Jacynth will have one when he's finally dead.
Adm H Sopko (3:11:18 AM): ::Hunter's eyes open slowly, and he is blessed with an ear-splitting headache::
MysteryGiIgamesh (3:11:18 AM): (*has been sitting here this whole time doing nothing* X_x Y'know, if you people dislike me, you can just come out and say it...)
AndrewRogue (3:11:58 AM): (I like you Gil <_<)
Adm H Sopko (3:12:17 AM): (I'll say two words: Tacit consent. You know the difficulty level. You don't have to play. If you do choose to, you're subject to it. Other than that, I like you)
MysteryGiIgamesh (3:12:47 AM): (If the difficulty is going to be constantly set to "Ream the PC's", I will start powergaming.)
MysteryGiIgamesh (3:12:57 AM): (That is my stance on it from now on.)
SirAlextheFirst (3:13:15 AM): (You get freakin annoying when you whine about the campaign not being formulaic, following the books, and easy enough for your liking. Other than that, I have no problems. You're a good roleplayer.)
Adm H Sopko (3:13:21 AM): (Go ahead, if Alex allows) ::Hunter looks from side to side, gathering where he is now::
MysteryGiIgamesh (3:14:13 AM): (Give me a break. I expect things to work like they do in the books. I don't expect instant death monsters at level 5 or things that can whip the entire party blindfolded with 5 claws tied behind it's oriface.)
MysteryGiIgamesh (3:14:48 AM): (And it's not whining, it's frustration that we get the living crap pounded out of us at every turn.)
Adm H Sopko (3:15:43 AM): (I do have the same complaints about poundage. However, I just wanna RP... can Hunter see anyone?)
SirAlextheFirst (3:15:55 AM): Hunter can see everyone here.
Adm H Sopko (3:16:59 AM): ::He blinks a few times, getting the haze out to look at those closest to him::
SirAlextheFirst (3:19:50 AM): The green glow suddenly begins to fade.
SirAlextheFirst (3:20:32 AM): All the light, even Bandon's light, whisks out for an instant as the room seems to spin, and you all feel like you're waking up from a dream.
SirAlextheFirst (3:21:10 AM): Then the light returns, just as it was. Except that Aria is sitting up, alive and well.
SirAlextheFirst (3:21:23 AM): All this has taken roughly ten minutes.
SirAlextheFirst (3:21:55 AM): A low rumbling shakes the cavern, even as Aria reacquaints herself with reality.
AndrewRogue (3:23:29 AM): *reacquainting herself with reality, gazing about dazedly* "Ah...?"
Adm H Sopko (3:23:51 AM): ::Hunter still sits up slowly, very disoriented, his senses very dulled and danger meter not really working::
AndrewRogue (3:25:35 AM): (By the way, where is she sitting up? The location of her former corpse?)
SirAlextheFirst (3:25:40 AM): Yes.
AndrewRogue (3:26:57 AM): *pushing the blanket off herself as she comes to connect with reality again, taking in the room* "H-Hunter?"
Adm H Sopko (3:27:38 AM): Oh boy...
AndrewRogue (3:28:02 AM): (Hunter's brain go double snap. Crick-Crack)
Adm H Sopko (3:28:53 AM): ::Hunter turns at the sound of his name and blanches:: "Arianna? But you're... no... this is my mind again... I'm hallucinating now..."
SirAlextheFirst (3:30:41 AM): Actually, this seems real. What has gone before feels more like a dream to you. A really bad dream.
AndrewRogue (3:30:43 AM): "..." *she stares oddly for a moment, before the problem actually dawns on her. "Hunter... I... please listen..."
Adm H Sopko (3:31:48 AM): ::He shivers a bit:: "I will... but... Lea! Where are you?!"
SirAlextheFirst (3:33:50 AM): "Huh?" Lea has been walking around stunned.
SirAlextheFirst (3:34:11 AM): She sees Aria and nearly shrieks. "You're alive!"
Adm H Sopko (3:35:12 AM): "Please... tell me you see what I'm seeing..." ::After confirmation, Hunter gets up and runs to Arianna, hugging her tightly and shedding tears of joy:: "I'm so glad... I thought I'd lost you too..."
SirAlextheFirst (3:35:56 AM): Lea hugs Aria, too, then stands back and lets you guys embrace.
SirAlextheFirst (3:36:11 AM): Shadow and Ava approach, astonished, and nuzzle Aria's leg.
AndrewRogue (3:36:53 AM): *she smiles softly as she hugs Lea, then holds Hunter* "Yes Hunter... that was nothing... nothing more than a nightmare. I'm sorry... I'm sorry if I scared you."
Adm H Sopko (3:37:43 AM): "It... it was a nightmare... but... it just keeps happening... over and over... Mom, Queklain, Nash... and you. And Jacynth is also missing..."
AndrewRogue (3:38:44 AM): *she freezes slightly at those words* "Jacynth... he isn't here?"
Adm H Sopko (3:39:08 AM): ::Shakes his head, still shaking a bit:: "No... I thought he was with you?"

AndrewRogue (3:44:17 AM): *for the barest instant her grip on him tightens* "It...that doesn't matter. I'm here now. We'll find him."
SirAlextheFirst (3:44:50 AM): And Jacynth skips out of nowhere into the crowd.
MysteryGiIgamesh (3:44:59 AM): *blink blink blink*
MysteryGiIgamesh (3:45:13 AM): (Real men skip! And wear kilts, too. >_>)
Adm H Sopko (3:46:20 AM): ::Turns to face him, pulling his arms from Aria, but still having contact with her:: "Jacynth! What happened?!"
MysteryGiIgamesh (3:46:55 AM): *he simply stands silently, utterly stunned, nearly unmoving*
SirAlextheFirst (3:47:00 AM): He's perfectly intact and has all his stuff. Except for all but ...
*OnlineHost* (3:47:08 AM): SirAlextheFirst rolled 1 4-sided die: 2
SirAlextheFirst (3:47:32 AM): 2 of the exploding arrows, the others having been used up in the explosion which killed the Bathtub Monster.
AndrewRogue (3:47:37 AM): "Jac!" *her eyes filling with tears to see that he is indeed alive and well*
SirAlextheFirst (3:48:54 AM): I'm beat. We're done.
Adm H Sopko (3:48:59 AM): ~It is good to know you are safe, He who is of the Blood~ ::Hunter smiles, his shivering subsiding for now, but his hand opening and closing unconciously::
MysteryGiIgamesh (3:49:03 AM): *he blinks once more, shuddering for a second as he almost finally seems to realize where he is, shriking back for a second, trying to regain some measure of composure*
MysteryGiIgamesh (3:49:14 AM): Oo I....Yes. oO
Adm H Sopko (3:50:36 AM): ((Okies... phew... all back together...))
AndrewRogue (3:50:46 AM): (Whew!)
SirAlextheFirst (3:50:51 AM): Questions and comments
Adm H Sopko (3:51:00 AM): Is my HP restored?
MysteryGiIgamesh (3:51:00 AM): Exp? X-x
SirAlextheFirst (3:51:06 AM): Exp!
MysteryGiIgamesh (3:51:11 AM): What's my HP at?
SirAlextheFirst (3:51:14 AM): 1000 for Jac.
SirAlextheFirst (3:51:16 AM): Full HP.
MysteryGiIgamesh (3:51:20 AM): Okies.
SirAlextheFirst (3:51:27 AM): 500 for Hunter
Adm H Sopko (3:51:30 AM): Same for me? Nice..
MysteryGiIgamesh (3:51:45 AM): *checks* So close to level...550 away.
SirAlextheFirst (3:51:46 AM): 1000 for Aria.
AndrewRogue (3:52:49 AM): Hway. I level.
MysteryGiIgamesh (3:53:01 AM): What level are you now?
AndrewRogue (3:53:05 AM): 6
Adm H Sopko (3:53:12 AM): 2500 for next level now
Adm H Sopko (3:53:29 AM): And back to full HP from 29! Yay!
MysteryGiIgamesh (3:53:30 AM): *blink* When did I end up with the least amount of exp? o_o Jeez. >_>
MysteryGiIgamesh (3:53:49 AM): I remember when I used to be tied with Soppy, heh.
Adm H Sopko (3:54:09 AM): When you stopped staying to the full session<G>
SirAlextheFirst (3:54:21 AM): Any more comments and questions on the game?
MysteryGiIgamesh (3:54:21 AM): I can't help it. (-_-i)
MysteryGiIgamesh (3:54:41 AM): How often will that 13 come back to haunt me?
SirAlextheFirst (3:55:05 AM): Depends on how much you let it.
AndrewRogue (3:55:10 AM): Whew, ah, just two quick questions related to my future levelling up here Alex.
SirAlextheFirst (3:55:25 AM): I highly advise you all to reread the world document every now and then.
Adm H Sopko (3:55:43 AM): Okay
AndrewRogue (3:56:15 AM): Tomorrow <_< I'll do it tomorrow. ^_~
Adm H Sopko (3:56:21 AM): ::Does it now::
SirAlextheFirst (3:57:15 AM): Questions?
AndrewRogue (3:57:57 AM): Ah, uh. 1. Would this constitute an alignment shift for me to Lawful Good?
MysteryGiIgamesh (3:58:01 AM): How did I miss so much exp as to be behind even Aria? X_x
Adm H Sopko (3:58:28 AM): You never stayed for full sessions
MysteryGiIgamesh (3:58:39 AM): So? I stayed as late as I could. =/
SirAlextheFirst (3:58:43 AM): Aria has simply been kicking a lot of ass and taking many names. Mostly with the Marquis situation.
SirAlextheFirst (3:58:53 AM): Alignment shift?
SirAlextheFirst (3:59:02 AM): Oh yes.
SirAlextheFirst (3:59:13 AM): That was most certainly lawful enough.
SirAlextheFirst (3:59:34 AM): Remember this night well.
Adm H Sopko (3:59:39 AM): Does my mental state do anything? Or like most of Eva's religious symbolism, it's just there to look cool?
SirAlextheFirst (3:59:40 AM): Much plot got set up here.
AndrewRogue (3:59:58 AM): Just there to look cool. Like Aria's has been :p
SirAlextheFirst (3:59:59 AM): Soppy: No, you cannot make Hunter's brain explode when he's sad.
Adm H Sopko (4:00:15 AM): Heh
MysteryGiIgamesh (4:00:22 AM): Jac lost a piece of himself with Beth not around to play Adora. X_x
AndrewRogue (4:00:42 AM): I know. Beth would have been so perfect to have here today ;_;
MysteryGiIgamesh (4:00:56 AM): ;_;
Adm H Sopko (4:00:57 AM): No dreamy for Soppy... thats a good thing though.... means I didn't die
AndrewRogue (4:01:23 AM): Coulda come real close against evil Hummer Aria :p
Adm H Sopko (4:01:43 AM): With a Favored enemy: Hummer? Naw
SirAlextheFirst (4:02:34 AM): Evil Hummer Aria. Heh.
Adm H Sopko (4:02:42 AM): Gil did call it...
MysteryGiIgamesh (4:03:02 AM): *nods* Gil has built-in radar from playing RPG's since he was 12.
Adm H Sopko (4:03:08 AM): that we'd go up against at least one shadow version of ourselves, that is<G>
SirAlextheFirst (4:03:15 AM): You would have fought Evil Jac, too, riding on the Bathtub Monster, except that he pointed out that he blew the thing up.
AndrewRogue (4:03:22 AM): :p LOL
MysteryGiIgamesh (4:03:34 AM): Well, I didn't really blow it up.
AndrewRogue (4:03:40 AM): Take that Evil Jac!
MysteryGiIgamesh (4:03:55 AM): It's more of just that stomach acid+fire explody arrows=Bad for digestion.
Adm H Sopko (4:04:09 AM): Oh yeah... forgot about Focused attack
MysteryGiIgamesh (4:04:10 AM): It's not like I meant to blow it up. It just kinda happened.
SirAlextheFirst (4:04:30 AM): Anything else?
Adm H Sopko (4:04:33 AM): I never payed attention to it since you needed +6 BAB. Then I remember DUH! I have that!
MysteryGiIgamesh (4:04:56 AM): But I do remember one time a group I was in stuffed the halfling thief full of drugs and poisons and other noxious crap, and then fed'em to a dragon.
AndrewRogue (4:05:04 AM): Hey, when it works, it works. Uh, one more stupid thing. Does this put me on the path to/allow me to qualify for my Exalted Path?
AndrewRogue (4:05:13 AM): Gil: ...
MysteryGiIgamesh (4:05:18 AM): What?
MysteryGiIgamesh (4:05:22 AM): It killed the dragon.
AndrewRogue (4:05:40 AM): Well, gotta admit, its a hell of a plan.
SirAlextheFirst (4:05:45 AM): What are the requirements for that exactly, again?
MysteryGiIgamesh (4:05:46 AM): ^_^
MysteryGiIgamesh (4:06:18 AM): Requirements to get Exalted stuff: You've gotta be Good, and not just normal good, but like role model for your good alignment good.
MysteryGiIgamesh (4:06:39 AM): So an LG exalted guy is essentially "gooder" than a normal LG.
AndrewRogue (4:06:47 AM): As you said Alex: Paragon of good I must be.
MysteryGiIgamesh (4:07:18 AM): Which means exalted paladin's are essentially the most goodest of the goodie-two shoes boyscout Superman ripoffs ever.
SirAlextheFirst (4:07:37 AM): Heh.
Adm H Sopko (4:07:41 AM): Ha! No deflowering Aria this campaign
Adm H Sopko (4:07:44 AM): Poor Bandon
SirAlextheFirst (4:07:45 AM): Yeah, you can start taking that now.
MysteryGiIgamesh (4:07:48 AM): Nah, sex is allowed.
MysteryGiIgamesh (4:07:59 AM): Unless you take the Vow of Chastity.
Adm H Sopko (4:08:01 AM): sh... Bandon doesn't need to know that
SirAlextheFirst (4:08:03 AM): And sex is allowed, unless you take a Vow of Chastity.
MysteryGiIgamesh (4:08:09 AM): Just, y'know....No being a whore.
MysteryGiIgamesh (4:08:20 AM): So, it's likely only be sex if you're married and love the person.
AndrewRogue (4:08:29 AM): Yay, Aria gets to be exalted. And, for the time being, remain flowered <_<
MysteryGiIgamesh (4:08:34 AM): XD
Adm H Sopko (4:08:36 AM): There a Vow of Celibacy too?
MysteryGiIgamesh (4:08:41 AM): Yep.
MysteryGiIgamesh (4:08:53 AM): Also a Vow of Nonviolence, Vow of Poverty...
Adm H Sopko (4:08:57 AM): Does that give double the bonus?<G>
MysteryGiIgamesh (4:09:05 AM): All of the Vow's require one thing, though.
Adm H Sopko (4:09:14 AM): ?
MysteryGiIgamesh (4:09:19 AM): The Sacred Vow feat is a pre-req for all the other Vow's.
MysteryGiIgamesh (4:10:02 AM): And all of the Vow's tend to be difficulty to roleplay, since if you ever willingly violate any of them, you lose'em.
SirAlextheFirst (4:10:13 AM): Indeed.
Adm H Sopko (4:10:15 AM): Alex: No questions. But on behalf of everyone, thank you.
MysteryGiIgamesh (4:10:20 AM): Of course, unwilling violations of the vow (like a vow of chastity person getting raped) can atone.
SirAlextheFirst (4:10:21 AM): They give MAD bonuses though.
MysteryGiIgamesh (4:10:29 AM): Yep, that they do.
SirAlextheFirst (4:10:40 AM): Hint hint cough cough Bandon's AC nudge nudge wink wink
AndrewRogue (4:10:52 AM): Heh. Bandon is vowed on everything except freakin' chastity <_<
MysteryGiIgamesh (4:11:00 AM): Question: Can you please ease up with the monsters? And maybe throw some nifty magical doodad's at us
Adm H Sopko (4:11:01 AM): Obviously
MysteryGiIgamesh (4:11:02 AM): *?
SirAlextheFirst (4:11:08 AM): Pretty much, actually.
MysteryGiIgamesh (4:11:11 AM): Or rather, to us. Not at us.
AndrewRogue (4:11:28 AM): *dodges Vorpal shurikens*
MysteryGiIgamesh (4:11:29 AM): Since at us would be asking for FIREBALLS IN THE FACE OH GOD THE BURNING!
Adm H Sopko (4:11:35 AM): Bandon more than makes up for it in sexual prowess. Well, his searching. Performance though...
SirAlextheFirst (4:11:37 AM): Part of the problem here has to do with the simple fact that you weren't supposed to go here.
MysteryGiIgamesh (4:11:49 AM): Expect the unexpected?
AndrewRogue (4:11:53 AM): ...heh, that figures.
SirAlextheFirst (4:11:54 AM): Right.'
SirAlextheFirst (4:12:08 AM): I toned the plans I had down some.
MysteryGiIgamesh (4:12:30 AM): Thats why I never plan anything for my campaigns, other than a very general flow of storyline (ie: Okay, if the party does X, Y will happen. If they don't do X, Z will happen)
SirAlextheFirst (4:12:38 AM): And as you saw, two kittes can wax the freakin statues.
SirAlextheFirst (4:12:45 AM): Exactly, Gil.
MysteryGiIgamesh (4:12:51 AM): The cat's did better than Jac. X_x
SirAlextheFirst (4:12:58 AM): If the party follows Lea, they find the monstrous evil dungeon.
SirAlextheFirst (4:13:13 AM): If they do something else... well, something else happens.
MysteryGiIgamesh (4:13:23 AM): Well, I admist I'm a softy when it comes to GMing. :P
Adm H Sopko (4:13:30 AM): I want a kitty as a familiar... I never did take a familiar... Hunter could have his own kitty pet too...
MysteryGiIgamesh (4:13:37 AM): I do coddle my players, at least up until I bring out the big guns.
Adm H Sopko (4:14:02 AM): I think this place is "the big gun", Gil
MysteryGiIgamesh (4:14:07 AM): Heh.
SirAlextheFirst (4:14:08 AM): I do not coddle. I've said it a million times - my combats are few, far between, and freaking hard.
SirAlextheFirst (4:14:15 AM): That's simply my style.
AndrewRogue (4:14:25 AM): IHmm... I really need to sit down and take a look at how to have Arianna advance from this point (for now, merely stat wise. Can't wait to see the implications vowing her life to dream God-boy will have)
SirAlextheFirst (4:14:39 AM): God-BOY?
MysteryGiIgamesh (4:14:50 AM): Eh, Jac might have to quit adventuring after this.
SirAlextheFirst (4:15:02 AM): I specified the voice as feminine like ten times. :P
AndrewRogue (4:15:03 AM): -girl-thing-flashylights-... <_<
MysteryGiIgamesh (4:15:18 AM): It could possibly have been bishounen? :P
Adm H Sopko (4:15:18 AM): Hunter might need to be institutionalized
SirAlextheFirst (4:15:29 AM): Hunter will be all right when he dies.
MysteryGiIgamesh (4:15:35 AM): ...
MysteryGiIgamesh (4:15:37 AM): o_O
SirAlextheFirst (4:15:44 AM): A good death once in a while is healthy for a PC.
MysteryGiIgamesh (4:15:57 AM): "Yeah, those 37 stab wounds to the face did me a world of good. Everyone should try it!"
AndrewRogue (4:16:05 AM): Heh...
SirAlextheFirst (4:16:10 AM): "And then he ran into my knife, officer. Ten times."
Adm H Sopko (4:16:34 AM): Eh? Does that mean you're planning for me to die as well? If I die honestly and go through that, ok. But it's not cool if it's planned out.
SirAlextheFirst (4:16:38 AM): Planning?
SirAlextheFirst (4:16:39 AM): No.
MysteryGiIgamesh (4:16:53 AM): "Anticipating? Hell yes!"
Adm H Sopko (4:16:55 AM): Ok. Just checking.
SirAlextheFirst (4:17:00 AM): I anticipate that you probably will at some point.
SirAlextheFirst (4:17:06 AM): Good call, Gil.
MysteryGiIgamesh (4:17:06 AM): Mm.
MysteryGiIgamesh (4:17:16 AM): I anticipate one of my PC's in my game will die.
Adm H Sopko (4:17:18 AM): most likely. Or I'll be the luckiest MF in the world
MysteryGiIgamesh (4:17:23 AM): And at least three of them will go blind.
AndrewRogue (4:17:31 AM): Lol
MysteryGiIgamesh (4:17:34 AM): Permanetly blind, too.
SirAlextheFirst (4:17:35 AM): Given the nature of my combats, sooner or later you'll almost certainly do the wrong thing or get hideously unlucky and die.
MysteryGiIgamesh (4:17:45 AM): Well, vision can be restored by magic.
AndrewRogue (4:17:52 AM): *raises hand* I can testify for that.
SirAlextheFirst (4:17:55 AM): No more questions?
MysteryGiIgamesh (4:17:58 AM): But other than that (they have no party cleric either), they're...
MysteryGiIgamesh (4:18:05 AM): Hmm...Questions...*thinks*
Adm H Sopko (4:18:05 AM): I've come close too many times. The Bandits I was down to 4, The dracoroach had me to 1
AndrewRogue (4:18:19 AM): No more questions from moi.
Adm H Sopko (4:18:24 AM): Where the blazes is Chrome?
SirAlextheFirst (4:18:38 AM): Chrome, as far as I can tell, is suffering a crisis in his personal life.
MysteryGiIgamesh (4:18:47 AM): =/
AndrewRogue (4:18:51 AM): Oh... that sucks ;_;
MysteryGiIgamesh (4:18:52 AM): What's wrong? =/
Adm H Sopko (4:18:55 AM): Ok... I was just wondering...
Adm H Sopko (4:19:43 AM): What if I never die?<G>
MysteryGiIgamesh (4:19:55 AM): Then I'll keel you!
SirAlextheFirst (4:19:58 AM): Then you're cool.
MysteryGiIgamesh (4:20:06 AM): Or Alex will bring out Evil Jac. >_>
Adm H Sopko (4:20:08 AM): I can dig it
SirAlextheFirst (4:20:13 AM): The normal death procedure is what Gil did tonight.
MysteryGiIgamesh (4:20:18 AM): ....
MysteryGiIgamesh (4:20:41 AM): Getting dragged underwater and eaten and then exploding is "normal death procedure"?
MysteryGiIgamesh (4:20:43 AM): Jesus.
SirAlextheFirst (4:20:51 AM): Not THAT.
MysteryGiIgamesh (4:20:55 AM): XD
SirAlextheFirst (4:20:59 AM): Normal afterlife.
Adm H Sopko (4:21:07 AM): Standard Operating Procedure.
SirAlextheFirst (4:21:11 AM): The first few times you die, it's easy to come back.
Adm H Sopko (4:21:12 AM): Hmm... SOP... heh
SirAlextheFirst (4:21:21 AM): Die more and more, and it gets harder.
MysteryGiIgamesh (4:21:31 AM): "Few times"? Alex, this is the first time anyones killed any of my characters in years. X_x
SirAlextheFirst (4:21:33 AM): Weird things may happen to you.
AndrewRogue (4:21:49 AM): ...heh.
MysteryGiIgamesh (4:21:52 AM): Well, unless you count getting turned to stone.
Adm H Sopko (4:21:55 AM): Jac is a woman!
MysteryGiIgamesh (4:22:06 AM): But that character got turned back.
Adm H Sopko (4:22:14 AM): He lost his elven manhood!
MysteryGiIgamesh (4:22:15 AM): Heh.
MysteryGiIgamesh (4:22:24 AM): Did I ever tell you about Cal, Soppy?
Adm H Sopko (4:22:29 AM): Adora relieved!
Adm H Sopko (4:22:35 AM): No
AndrewRogue (4:22:39 AM): lol
MysteryGiIgamesh (4:22:46 AM): Cal was my elven rogue. A foul-mouthed, dirty bastard of an elf.
SirAlextheFirst (4:22:51 AM): Soooooo much plot got set up tonight. I'm so happy.
MysteryGiIgamesh (4:23:01 AM): And he got cursed to change sex whenever he was weak-willed or stressed.
Adm H Sopko (4:23:06 AM): Heheh. And so much character fun for me
Adm H Sopko (4:23:16 AM): ::Enjoys flexing his writing muscle::
MysteryGiIgamesh (4:23:20 AM): And you have no idea how often Cal was stressed.
MysteryGiIgamesh (4:23:27 AM): He was high-strung most of the time,.
Adm H Sopko (4:23:31 AM): Ranma D&D
MysteryGiIgamesh (4:23:35 AM): Exactly.
MysteryGiIgamesh (4:24:08 AM): "SUNNAVA BITCH WHERE'D MY DI-...Hey, I could have fun in a woman's body..."-And thus, the legend of Cal began.
AndrewRogue (4:24:09 AM): Character fun for me too :P Aria got to take a few steps up the maturity ladder. ^_~ And lol at Cal. That would be fun.
Adm H Sopko (4:24:47 AM): Hunter took a ride on the insanity coaster... and most likely will be suffering after effects for a while
MysteryGiIgamesh (4:24:59 AM): Cal's full name was Calibretto Silf, by the way. And a good number of my elves tend to have the last name Silf. XD
Adm H Sopko (4:25:05 AM): The hand opening and closing unconciously is one
SirAlextheFirst (4:25:20 AM): Did you like that Evil Aria?
Adm H Sopko (4:25:34 AM): That was funny for the two seconds she existed
SirAlextheFirst (4:25:39 AM): YUU LIK DAT!! YOO LYKE DAT! AHAHA
MysteryGiIgamesh (4:25:50 AM): Me love you long time sailah boy?
SirAlextheFirst (4:25:52 AM): *ahem*
MysteryGiIgamesh (4:25:58 AM): Sucky sucky, fie dollah?
Adm H Sopko (4:26:12 AM): Yeah, then Hunter was just like pwned!
AndrewRogue (4:26:12 AM): ... Just ... ...
MysteryGiIgamesh (4:26:24 AM): Heh.
Adm H Sopko (4:26:29 AM): Not that bad a recreation either...
MysteryGiIgamesh (4:26:33 AM): Oh, and in other news...
MysteryGiIgamesh (4:26:43 AM): I found the R. Lee Emry doll. Yay.
MysteryGiIgamesh (4:26:50 AM): R. Lee Emry>j00.
AndrewRogue (4:26:59 AM): R Lee Emry?
SirAlextheFirst (4:27:03 AM): Okay.
SirAlextheFirst (4:27:07 AM): Anything else?
SirAlextheFirst (4:27:08 AM): OH
MysteryGiIgamesh (4:27:09 AM): Ever see the movie....Full Metal Jacket, I think it was?
SirAlextheFirst (4:27:10 AM): WAIT'
Adm H Sopko (4:27:11 AM): Rock Lee doll? ooo
Adm H Sopko (4:27:13 AM): Ah
MysteryGiIgamesh (4:27:15 AM): He was the drill seargent in it.
SirAlextheFirst (4:27:16 AM): ONE MORE THING!
Adm H Sopko (4:27:19 AM): Hm?
MysteryGiIgamesh (4:27:22 AM): Ya?
AndrewRogue (4:27:26 AM): Waits to hear out one more thing.
SirAlextheFirst (4:27:27 AM): Aria's circlet is gone.
MysteryGiIgamesh (4:27:31 AM): ...
AndrewRogue (4:27:36 AM): ...
MysteryGiIgamesh (4:27:37 AM): Does Jac still have his?
SirAlextheFirst (4:27:42 AM): Jac still has his.
MysteryGiIgamesh (4:27:46 AM): Yay.
Adm H Sopko (4:27:56 AM): Does she now have the natural ability of telepathy?
SirAlextheFirst (4:27:57 AM): And Aria can still hear and send thoughts as though she were wearing one.
SirAlextheFirst (4:28:01 AM): Indeed, Soppy.
Adm H Sopko (4:28:09 AM): Splenderiffic
SirAlextheFirst (4:28:14 AM): She is permanently tapped into the network, it seems.
AndrewRogue (4:28:21 AM): Whee...!
MysteryGiIgamesh (4:28:32 AM): If we tweak her ears, does her reception change like one of those old tv's with the antenna's?
