AndrewRogue (9:34:19 PM): *hums as he continues reading over prop 55*
MysteryGiIgamesh (9:34:21 PM): Hello.
AndrewRogue (9:34:26 PM): Heya
MysteryGiIgamesh (9:34:29 PM): Alex, I need your e-mail.
SirAlextheFirst (9:34:38 PM): ....why?
MysteryGiIgamesh (9:34:58 PM): Send you the updated Jac?
(9:35:42 PM) Sarcazmo47 has entered the room.
Sarcazmo47 (9:35:59 PM): Did I mention I knew Jesus Fu?
MysteryGiIgamesh (9:36:07 PM): I know Fung Ku!
AndrewRogue (9:36:18 PM): I... *cries*
MysteryGiIgamesh (9:36:27 PM): So...e-mail, Alex?
Adm H Sopko (9:36:43 PM): I know Buddha Fu
SirAlextheFirst (9:36:47 PM): HAV U S33N L1TTL3 G1RL, 53V3N YEER OLD, SH0RT 8L4CK H41R?
ForceJedi2001 (9:37:03 PM): I know beer-fu
Adm H Sopko (9:37:24 PM): ::Listens to the improved version of Boomerang Flash's theme over and over::
AndrewRogue (9:37:52 PM): ...that was kind of randomn Alex <_<
Adm H Sopko (9:38:17 PM): The HUNTERS are talking in 133t!
AndrewRogue (9:39:02 PM): They've been haxxored?
SirAlextheFirst (9:39:02 PM): .... kids these days. Nobody catches the references.
AndrewRogue (9:39:28 PM): <_< Well, no/ But its a pretty universal fact that I suck.
Adm H Sopko (9:39:32 PM): Have you seen this boy?
SirAlextheFirst (9:40:22 PM): Granted, only Andrew would probably even have seen what that's from, but anyways.
MysteryGiIgamesh (9:40:39 PM): Gorth got Haxx0rzed. =/
MysteryGiIgamesh (9:40:51 PM): Someone stole his account on GameFAQ's. X_x
Adm H Sopko (9:41:01 PM): Ouch
SirAlextheFirst (9:41:06 PM): Oh, Gorthy. He cracks me up.
AndrewRogue (9:41:30 PM): ...hmm... That must mean its a survival horror game if you think I am the only who would probably have seen it... And that sucks.
Adm H Sopko (9:41:33 PM): Ha
Adm H Sopko (9:41:43 PM): Alex: Silent Hill?
SirAlextheFirst (9:42:13 PM): Why, yes, actually.
SirAlextheFirst (9:42:22 PM): However did you guess?
Adm H Sopko (9:42:25 PM): Yeah... I'm cool
AndrewRogue (9:42:31 PM): Hmmm... where's that note?
SirAlextheFirst (9:42:52 PM): It couldn't POSSIBLY have anything to do with the fact that I've been throwing my love of that series at you all for months.
AndrewRogue (9:43:25 PM): LOL. Well, I have a four day weekend this week. I'll beat it and make you happy Alex :p
AndrewRogue (9:44:15 PM): That is, as long as the stupid disk works <_<
MysteryGiIgamesh (9:44:33 PM): I prefer Resident Evil. >_>
MysteryGiIgamesh (9:44:42 PM): Mmm....Zombie explodity...
MysteryGiIgamesh (9:44:49 PM): *drools*
AndrewRogue (9:45:14 PM): Bah... they aren't scary enough because you get big guns. Silent Hill and Fatal Frame are scary 'cause you look mostly helpless.
Adm H Sopko (9:45:33 PM): Silent Hill is scary for other reasons
Adm H Sopko (9:45:33 PM): Mostly presentation
AndrewRogue (9:45:37 PM): Well, yeah, that too ^_^
SirAlextheFirst (9:45:40 PM): The later REs > SH in gameplay.
SirAlextheFirst (9:45:56 PM): The entire SH series >>> the entire RE series in plot and atmosphere.
MysteryGiIgamesh (9:46:02 PM): Dude.
Adm H Sopko (9:46:19 PM): Yeah, I'll agree... but I like RE 1 and 2 more than the SHs
MysteryGiIgamesh (9:46:25 PM): I don't know about you, but even with a rocket launcher, the idea of a fucking T-82 tyrant charging at me scares me.
AndrewRogue (9:46:50 PM): Although, even guns can't help some people. My poor friend was battling a Hunter and got pissed because it killed him. Then I pointed out that beautiful clicking sound was his EMPTY magnum <_<
MysteryGiIgamesh (9:46:59 PM): Big ass clawed ugly sumnabitch trying to carve me a new asshole...
Adm H Sopko (9:47:00 PM): LOL
MysteryGiIgamesh (9:47:03 PM): XD
MysteryGiIgamesh (9:47:20 PM): I liked RE2 the best, though.
MysteryGiIgamesh (9:47:39 PM): But only the Leon half.
Adm H Sopko (9:47:39 PM): well, he should know Hunter gets 4 attacks and would've whooped his ass no matter what
MysteryGiIgamesh (9:47:39 PM): Claire....Ugh. Crappy bow-gun. *shudders*
Adm H Sopko (9:47:53 PM): She got rocket launcher though didn't she?
AndrewRogue (9:47:56 PM): Hey... I liked Claire <_<
MysteryGiIgamesh (9:48:07 PM): Both got rocket launchers, I think.
AndrewRogue (9:48:14 PM): Hmm... Eternal Darkness is fun ^_^
Adm H Sopko (9:48:21 PM): Oh yeah
MysteryGiIgamesh (9:48:41 PM): And actually, the Custom Magnum that Leon get's is the most powerful weapon in the game, save for the rocket launchers, heh.
AndrewRogue (9:48:54 PM): Just got past Brother Paul last night. It SUCKED to be him.
SirAlextheFirst (9:49:00 PM): Meh. The RE series as a whole just fails to scare me. OMG BIG MONSTER just doesn't do it for me, and the whole campy B-movie bit removed any semblance of scariness.
Adm H Sopko (9:49:35 PM): RE1 was a bit unnerving, RE2 was less so, the rest sucked. SH had REALLY good atmosphere
AndrewRogue (9:49:42 PM): RE is good for the jump scare. SH and FF build up to that "OMG, if I go in the bathroom some demon is going to kill me!"
Adm H Sopko (9:50:34 PM): There are few things more powerful than a prison toiler
Adm H Sopko (9:50:34 PM): toilet even
SirAlextheFirst (9:51:33 PM): I also have a secret affinity for light gun games, and RE1's plot couldn't help but look to me like a direct rip of House of the Dead. I mean... when a GUN GAME does your plot better than you... it's kinda sad....
Adm H Sopko (9:51:37 PM): RE1 came out before HotD, didn't it?
MysteryGiIgamesh (9:51:46 PM): Yep.
SirAlextheFirst (9:51:52 PM): Maybe. I'd have to check.
Adm H Sopko (9:52:03 PM): Area 51 > j00 for lightgun
MysteryGiIgamesh (9:52:28 PM): House of the Dead 1=r0xx0rz.
AndrewRogue (9:52:38 PM): BioHazard Capcom 03/22/96 JP
MysteryGiIgamesh (9:52:41 PM): I used to play it so much I knew the whole damned game by heart. X_x
Adm H Sopko (9:53:00 PM): HotD is good, yeah, but Area 51 beats it
SirAlextheFirst (9:53:10 PM): This is true.
AndrewRogue (9:53:20 PM): Meh, HotD has no date on GameFAQs.
SirAlextheFirst (9:53:40 PM): HotD's worldwide was 1997.
AndrewRogue (9:53:53 PM): Then it looks like RE wins.
SirAlextheFirst (9:54:02 PM): Dunno what the JP release was.
SirAlextheFirst (9:54:09 PM): And... Biohazard?
AndrewRogue (9:54:16 PM): Original JP name.
MysteryGiIgamesh (9:55:05 PM): You didn't know it was originally named Biohazard? o_O
Adm H Sopko (9:55:09 PM): Biohazard makes so much more sense as a name
MysteryGiIgamesh (9:55:13 PM): Though the name Resident Evil is better.
SirAlextheFirst (9:55:16 PM): It does!
MysteryGiIgamesh (9:55:19 PM): Since Biohazard gives away too much.
Adm H Sopko (9:55:44 PM): True... it is kind of a spoiler
AndrewRogue (9:55:49 PM): Heh... I just recently learned that. Beat RE1: REmake just a few months ago :p
MysteryGiIgamesh (9:55:54 PM): XD
SirAlextheFirst (9:56:08 PM): .... sort of... kind of... it's not really a game where spoilers matter...
MysteryGiIgamesh (9:56:23 PM): Yes, it matters. :P
MysteryGiIgamesh (9:56:43 PM): Since in the first one, you don't know what the Hell's causing the zombies and such until late in the game. >_>
AndrewRogue (9:57:26 PM): Too many games to beat: RE0, Fatal Frame, Fatal Fram 2, Valkyrie Profile, Silent Hill, Eternal Darkness, Ikagura, Skies of Arcadia... Yar, have saves for all of them and I still haven't beat them ;_;
SirAlextheFirst (9:57:28 PM): <experienced gamer> You'd have to be mentally incapacitated not to guess </experienced gamer>
MysteryGiIgamesh (9:57:42 PM): Ooh.
MysteryGiIgamesh (9:57:48 PM): Valkyrie Profile.
Adm H Sopko (9:57:49 PM): RE is a plot driven game, SH is an atmosphere driven game. Can we play now?
MysteryGiIgamesh (9:57:54 PM): Aye!
SirAlextheFirst (9:57:59 PM): You have an Ikaruga save?
SirAlextheFirst (9:58:06 PM): Well, anyways.
AndrewRogue (9:58:10 PM): ... ... *better not let him know I sucked at guessing* Well, my friends game <_<
SirAlextheFirst (9:58:28 PM): ~~~~BEGIN~~~~
SirAlextheFirst (9:58:32 PM): Yep.
SirAlextheFirst (9:59:18 PM): After coming back from a dungeon experience that killed some of em, the party has returned to Asgard for angst, character growth, drinking and hot monkey sex.
MysteryGiIgamesh (9:59:26 PM): (Yay!)
AndrewRogue (9:59:30 PM): (Yay!)
MysteryGiIgamesh (9:59:36 PM): (*s3x0rz Adora*)
Adm H Sopko (9:59:50 PM): (Yay!)
MysteryGiIgamesh (10:00:19 PM): *studies several things, including draconian anatomy, and practices his archery, swordplay, and a dozen other things*
Adm H Sopko (10:00:24 PM): ::Hunter wakes up slowly, as usual. He literally rolls out of bed to get himself up. After a quick stretch, he dresses himself and heads downstairs to meet everyone, sitting at a table::
AndrewRogue (10:01:17 PM): *probably still sleeping like a log, with the threat of a hangover, well, hanging over her head...*
Adm H Sopko (10:01:37 PM): (Her liver is still next to her on the bed having a cup of coffee)
ForceJedi2001 (10:01:44 PM): * is already up and sipping a cup of coffee at one of the tables.*
Adm H Sopko (10:02:10 PM): ::Smiles as he sees Phil, waving to him and sitting down:: "Morning."
ForceJedi2001 (10:02:28 PM): " Morning, Hunter..Sleep well?"
(10:02:37 PM) AndrewRogue has left the room.
(10:02:52 PM) AndrewRogue has entered the room.
AndrewRogue (10:03:10 PM): (Yay... I stayed on despite the fact AIM died!)
MysteryGiIgamesh (10:03:28 PM): (XD)
Adm H Sopko (10:03:28 PM): "I'd say so... You?"
MysteryGiIgamesh (10:03:28 PM): *is...well...wherever he would need to be to study. library, perhaps?*
SirAlextheFirst (10:03:49 PM): Yep.
(10:05:03 PM) GreenishBunny has entered the room.
GreenishBunny (10:05:13 PM): you summon me? =P
SirAlextheFirst (10:05:47 PM): (Yes. This is a game. Watch it.)
(10:06:06 PM) AndrewRogue has left the room.
ForceJedi2001 (10:07:00 PM): " doing as well as could be expected I'd say so, Fine morning it is today."
Adm H Sopko (10:08:54 PM): "Yeah. Anyone else up yet?"
(10:09:17 PM) AndrewRogue has entered the room.
AndrewRogue (10:09:31 PM): (*slaps AIM around*)
AndrewRogue (10:09:45 PM): (Sorry about that.)
ForceJedi2001 (10:09:48 PM): ' not really, just waiting for everyone to get up, but it may be awhile with your female friend" *smiles sheepishly*
SirAlextheFirst (10:09:56 PM): Apparently, nobody else is up yet, especially not Bandon.
Adm H Sopko (10:10:27 PM): ::Chuckles:: "Yes, she did have a bit too much to drink last night. Her liver is probably sitting next to her bed having coffee about now"
MysteryGiIgamesh (10:10:32 PM): *is already at library, whee, yay for elven non-needing as much sleep*
ForceJedi2001 (10:10:50 PM): *damn skippy gilga;-)*
ForceJedi2001 (10:11:21 PM): *chuckles at Hunter and sits back sipping his coffee*
AndrewRogue (10:12:33 PM): *wakes up very, very, very, very slowly. Assumedly, she's going to have a rather severe headache*
SirAlextheFirst (10:12:56 PM): A fair one, yes.
Adm H Sopko (10:13:23 PM): ::He gets himself some coffee, sitting back down have enjoying it. After a bit, he speaks up again:: "So whats your story, Phil?"
ForceJedi2001 (10:15:47 PM): * frowns and leans backwards, eyeing the table before him* " my story? long tale really, but I've wander most of my life, living off of my blade..
AndrewRogue (10:17:23 PM): *she gets out of bed, rather unhappy about the condition of her head. She looks at wrinkled tunic and pants she was wearing and opts to not bother changing*
Adm H Sopko (10:17:56 PM): ::Nods:: "Seems like it... from our little debate last night, you come from a rough background, I take it?"
ForceJedi2001 (10:18:38 PM): " You could say that, yes. But nothing to be oncerned about."
Adm H Sopko (10:19:12 PM): "What are your plans for the near future?"
AndrewRogue (10:19:17 PM): *winces as she heads downstairs, nice and slow*
Sarcazmo47 (10:19:43 PM): Bandon finally comes down the stairs at this point, Selena on one arm and a girl that looks much like her on the other.
ForceJedi2001 (10:19:46 PM): " don't really know, I take whatever road I come too."
SirAlextheFirst (10:20:11 PM): The girls both look tired, and very happy.
Adm H Sopko (10:21:04 PM): "Any particular reason you're in Asgard right now? Or just drifting?"
ForceJedi2001 (10:21:24 PM): * shrugs and smiles* " Just a drifter, you might say."
Sarcazmo47 (10:21:31 PM): Bandon kisses each one at the bottom of the stairs and heads over to where Hunter and Phil are sitting.
Adm H Sopko (10:22:02 PM): ::Chuckles and nods:: "I hear you. I know this may sound odd, but feel like lending your sword to a mission from the gods?"
AndrewRogue (10:22:27 PM): *makes it down not too long after Bandon and his toys and joins the group*
ForceJedi2001 (10:22:40 PM): * sits back and scratches his chin.* " Mission from the gods eh? sounds like a worthy cause, but what exactly is it for?"
Sarcazmo47 (10:24:04 PM): "Maybe even lending your brain as well as your sword arm, if it's not too much trouble."
ForceJedi2001 (10:24:32 PM): *chuckles at bandon* " I'm sure that could be arranged as well."
SirAlextheFirst (10:24:36 PM): (Yes please)
Adm H Sopko (10:24:59 PM): "Long story short... wierd things are happening across Amaryllis, and it's becoming a bit unstable. As strange as it sounds, each of us... except maybe Bandon, whom I've not consulted with yet, were brought together through a
Sarcazmo47 (10:25:16 PM): ((Yes please, you'd like some eggs?))
Adm H Sopko (10:25:22 PM): strange fate. For the last few months we've been traveling around, investigating these occurances and trying to set things right."
AndrewRogue (10:25:47 PM): *sits there, nice and quiet* (Be back in a moment and a half)
ForceJedi2001 (10:26:04 PM): " Hmmm..I see..well I don't have any plans as of right now, so I think I can tag along, at least to see for myself if this mission is as important as you say it is."
Adm H Sopko (10:27:09 PM): "Right now, we're recuperating from our last ordeal... trying to gather more information about what we're fighting. I also have something I need to tell the group, once Jacynth gets here."
ForceJedi2001 (10:27:24 PM): *nods*
ForceJedi2001 (10:27:46 PM): *leans backwards in his chair and continues to sip his coffee*
Adm H Sopko (10:28:14 PM): ::Turns to Aria with a smile, speaking in low tones to avoid aggrivating the headache he knows she has:: "Have a good sleep?"
Sarcazmo47 (10:29:25 PM): Bandon seats himself next next to the others and nods to Phil. "Your fighting must pay well. Farns is a hard bargainer, and coffee is rare in Asgard. Did you get the beans in your travels?"
MysteryGiIgamesh (10:29:37 PM): (You're in the temple, right guys?)
MysteryGiIgamesh (10:29:40 PM): (Or the inn?)
Adm H Sopko (10:29:49 PM): ((Inn))
MysteryGiIgamesh (10:29:55 PM): (Okay.)
ForceJedi2001 (10:29:56 PM): " Aye, I keep a small sack of them on my person, for rare treats."
MysteryGiIgamesh (10:30:07 PM): (Hey, Alex?)
SirAlextheFirst (10:30:17 PM): (Yeeeeeees?)
MysteryGiIgamesh (10:30:27 PM): (Can I do some shopping while I'm out?)
AndrewRogue (10:30:42 PM): ~Not funny Hunter...~ *she rests her head on her palm, not really up to talking*
SirAlextheFirst (10:31:22 PM): (Sure, although the question "With what money?" comes to mind)
MysteryGiIgamesh (10:31:39 PM): (The over 1,000 I have left from the 5,000 we got?)
Adm H Sopko (10:31:49 PM): ::Blinks, finally noticing that she's not wearing a circlet:: ~Arianna? How... are you doing that?~
AndrewRogue (10:32:24 PM): ~Doing what?~
Adm H Sopko (10:32:53 PM): ~Speaking with your mind? You're not wearing your circlet~
AndrewRogue (10:35:09 PM): *she looks up at him, looking a little confused* ~That's...~ "...a good question."
Sarcazmo47 (10:35:40 PM): Bandon looks comfused.
Sarcazmo47 (10:35:55 PM): "What, Aria?"
Adm H Sopko (10:36:20 PM): ::Motions with his head to Bandon:: "Show him"
AndrewRogue (10:37:04 PM): "Mmmm..." ~This, without a circlet~
AndrewRogue (10:38:42 PM): (Sllooow or laggy)
Adm H Sopko (10:40:57 PM): ::Realizes something quickly and smiles, looking to Phil:: "Oh... you probably thing we're crazy... but hold on." ~Can you hear me like this?~
*OnlineHost* (10:41:17 PM): Sarcazmo47 rolled 1 20-sided die: 18
Sarcazmo47 (10:41:41 PM): Hey, DM, does a will save of 20 stop an unexpected intrusion into the mind?
SirAlextheFirst (10:42:03 PM): Sure.
SirAlextheFirst (10:42:21 PM): You still hear their initial sending, though.
Sarcazmo47 (10:42:36 PM): Which would be?
SirAlextheFirst (10:42:49 PM): ~This, without a circlet~
Sarcazmo47 (10:42:54 PM): Okie.
ForceJedi2001 (10:43:29 PM): * blinks and eyes the girl* " what in the world,,
Sarcazmo47 (10:43:33 PM): Bandon blinks at Aria. "Ah. That's...interesting."
Sarcazmo47 (10:44:00 PM): Wisdom check to see if Bandon remembers that she had a circlet when she was dead, but lost in when she came back to life?
AndrewRogue (10:44:10 PM): *sighs as she puts her hand back on her palm* "Of course it is."
SirAlextheFirst (10:44:21 PM): Sure.
SirAlextheFirst (10:44:31 PM): Jacynth will arrive now or soon.
MysteryGiIgamesh (10:44:50 PM): (Aye.)
AndrewRogue (10:45:09 PM): (Just in time to discover Aria, budding Psion :p)
*OnlineHost* (10:45:18 PM): Sarcazmo47 rolled 1 20-sided die: 12
MysteryGiIgamesh (10:45:19 PM): *he saunters in after opening the door to the inn, peering around the room to see if the Son's of Men are up and about yet*
Sarcazmo47 (10:45:26 PM): 16.
Adm H Sopko (10:45:28 PM): "We recieved circlets from the head of the Temple of Gabriel that allow us to speak to each other through our minds. It seems, somehow, Arianna can now do so without using a circlet"
MysteryGiIgamesh (10:46:51 PM): *quite a few books under his arm as well*
Sarcazmo47 (10:47:38 PM): Bandon nods slowly.
Adm H Sopko (10:48:34 PM): ::Looks up to Jac and nods:: "Yo Jac. How long've you been up?"
MysteryGiIgamesh (10:48:41 PM): *and, upon seeing them (if I do? do I?) he ambles over to the table, taking a seat wherever is convienent, sitting deeply within the chair, opening up a book*
Sarcazmo47 (10:48:52 PM): "Aria, when you were ressurected in the cave, you were not wearing a circlet. But the last time I saw you before that, you had one. Unless you lost it, it may be possible that the circlet was... (more)
Sarcazmo47 (10:49:02 PM): merged with you in some way."
MysteryGiIgamesh (10:49:07 PM): "Hours oh............Son of Man. Those of the Blood.........Need not sleep, as.......You Son's of Man must."
SirAlextheFirst (10:49:16 PM): (*gets a sudden picture of Hunter in black sunglasses and a leather jacket going "Yo, Jac!")
Sarcazmo47 (10:49:29 PM): "If that's the case, I have to wonder if the rest of your equpiment may have been bonded to you as well in some way."
MysteryGiIgamesh (10:49:34 PM): ("Eyy! It's Arthur Jacarelli.")
MysteryGiIgamesh (10:49:43 PM): ("But we just call'em the Fonz.")
Sarcazmo47 (10:50:08 PM): ((Fonz, did you ever get any STD's from sleeping around all the time like that?))
MysteryGiIgamesh (10:50:32 PM): (XD)
Sarcazmo47 (10:50:32 PM): ((Herpes twice. And the clap. *pause* Eyyyyyyyyy!))
Adm H Sopko (10:51:11 PM): ::He peers at Jac, looking for a circlet as well::
AndrewRogue (10:51:59 PM): *sort of acknowledges the blooded one* ".........I'm pretty sure my Guisarme is upstairs with my armor."
MysteryGiIgamesh (10:53:20 PM): *he looks to him with that same unemotional, disconnected apathetic look he always has. yes, he has the circlet on*
Sarcazmo47 (10:53:33 PM): Bandon looks at her oddly. "Pretty sure?"
Adm H Sopko (10:53:33 PM): "Well, whatever it is, it didn't happen to Jacynth."
MysteryGiIgamesh (10:53:50 PM): (Jac's naturally fucked up, he doesn't need weird mental powers. ^_~)
AndrewRogue (10:54:40 PM): "I don't know, I don't think I bothered to look last night, and I don't care right now."
Adm H Sopko (10:55:41 PM): ::Chuckles:: "I did warn you about drinking. But I guess a hangover is something you needed to experience eventually"
Sarcazmo47 (10:56:28 PM): Bandon blinks, then reaches under the counter, pulls out a glass, and waves his hand over it. Cold water appears in it, and he hands it to Aria. "Drink this."
AndrewRogue (10:58:04 PM): "I don't remember anyone telling me I'd feel like this... I don't remember what happened for the most part... except some guy bringing me lots of drinks..." *takes the drink from Bandon*
AndrewRogue (10:58:04 PM): "Please say its just water."
ForceJedi2001 (10:58:06 PM): ( LOL here we go..water with a hangover, you trying to get her fucked up again?;-))
SirAlextheFirst (10:58:46 PM): Iiiiit's journal time again, so that I don't go and fail.
SirAlextheFirst (10:59:20 PM): Y'all keep on RPing, unless you don't want to.
MysteryGiIgamesh (10:59:22 PM): "Well then, oh....Maiden, you perhaps......Need to be wary of.....Strong drink." *he murmur's softly up from his book*
AndrewRogue (10:59:40 PM): (Sure, if everyone else wants to)
Adm H Sopko (10:59:51 PM): ::Looks over to Jac:: "Been to the library already? What did you bring back?"
Sarcazmo47 (11:00:26 PM): "It's water. It'll help your headache."
SirAlextheFirst (11:00:29 PM): (Temporary DM power is given to Kirk, I guess, if you do anything that requires DMing)
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:00:37 PM): *he peers up at Hunter for a second, that same dull as ever expression upon his face, exhaling slightly as he reaches down, setting quite a number of books upon the table*
AndrewRogue (11:00:52 PM): *drinks it in one shot*
Adm H Sopko (11:01:27 PM): ::Looks at the content of the pile::
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:01:38 PM): *the various tomes seem to be fairly random: a book about draconian anatomy, another about demon's, yet another on human anatomy, one on swordplay, another on herbs, trees, basically anything you'd find in nature, another contains m
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:02:36 PM): maps of quite a few things, notes on geography and topography of the lands, yet another still on sword forms, and no less than four books on archery, plus another book that seems to have been picked up completely at random, and upon
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:02:49 PM): peering inside, seems to be the Kama Sutra*
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:03:41 PM): *but the dust jacket on the cover is mismatched: the inside being kama sutra, the dust jacket saying the book should be some odd novel about crime*
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:03:42 PM): *as well as two books on elven lore and history, of course*
AndrewRogue (11:04:07 PM): "That's a lot of books..."
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:04:10 PM): *and in Jac's hands, rests a third book upon elves*
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:04:25 PM): *he simply nods* "I am a....Somewhat accelerated reader......."
Sarcazmo47 (11:05:00 PM): Are you wanting to have gotten ranks in any of that, Gil?
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:05:15 PM): Huh?
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:05:38 PM): Reading gives you ranks? I thought you needed it just to maintain the ranks in stuff you already have. o_o
Sarcazmo47 (11:05:47 PM): I'm asking.
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:05:55 PM): Well, a few ranks wouldn't hurt.
Sarcazmo47 (11:05:55 PM): Did you want to try to earn more ranks?
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:05:59 PM): Sure.
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:06:06 PM): Anything's worth a shot.
Sarcazmo47 (11:06:06 PM): Well, then, make me int checks for each subject you want.
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:06:10 PM): Oh boy...
Sarcazmo47 (11:06:16 PM): Low scores mean you get stupid and forget shit.
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:06:21 PM): o_O
Adm H Sopko (11:06:32 PM): ::Chuckles:: "More ambitious than anything... but nothing relating to what I was studying yesterday. But since I'm bored as hell..." ::Takes one of the books on sword forms and begins to read::
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:06:34 PM): God help me, I predict all 1's when I roll. X_x
AndrewRogue (11:06:46 PM): (Meh, Alex seems to allow you to pick up knowledge through reading. Aria's learned something about religion at the library. 1 rank in Knowledge religion)
Sarcazmo47 (11:07:06 PM): What skills are you trying to increase?
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:07:29 PM): Eh....Guess knowledge (nature), knowledge (geography), knowlege (elven lore) (even though I don't have the elven lore skill yet) >_>
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:07:37 PM): So, I'll make the checks in tha order?
Sarcazmo47 (11:07:42 PM): Sure.
*OnlineHost* (11:07:47 PM): MysteryGiIgamesh rolled 1 20-sided die: 3
*OnlineHost* (11:07:53 PM): MysteryGiIgamesh rolled 1 20-sided die: 15
*OnlineHost* (11:07:53 PM): MysteryGiIgamesh rolled 1 20-sided die: 3
Adm H Sopko (11:07:53 PM): Wow
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:07:53 PM): ...Oh, fuck me.
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:07:56 PM): 5, 15, 5.
Sarcazmo47 (11:08:04 PM): How many ranks do you already have in nature and geography?
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:08:24 PM): 6 and 5, respectivly.
AndrewRogue (11:08:46 PM): Uh, Gil. Shouldn't that be 5, 17, 5?
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:08:47 PM): Erm..Yes.
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:08:52 PM): 5, 17, 5. X_x
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:08:58 PM): I read the 15 as a 13.
Sarcazmo47 (11:09:28 PM): Allright. Lose one rank in knowledge nature as you find out that dragons have their brains in their abdomen, right below the stomach.
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:09:33 PM): And as for the weapon stuff, perform (weapon drill) would cover the books on weapons and such. And o_O
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:10:06 PM): And a 17 doesn't give anything? >_>
Sarcazmo47 (11:10:15 PM): Gain one rank of knowledge geography. You larn those maps good, although after youv'e momorized them you find out they're about six years old.
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:10:19 PM): Yay.
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:10:40 PM): So my skills basically shifted a point. XD
AndrewRogue (11:10:49 PM): *idly starts flipping through the books, not reading them. Words hurt.*
Sarcazmo47 (11:11:14 PM): Knowledge elven lore.......well, most of what you read was written by humans anyway. Need I say more?
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:11:14 PM): Yeah, humans suck.
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:11:14 PM): As for the martial stuff?
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:11:15 PM): Here's a roll, I suppose. X_x
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:11:21 PM): God help me. >_>
*OnlineHost* (11:11:24 PM): MysteryGiIgamesh rolled 1 20-sided die: 1
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:11:26 PM): ....
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:11:32 PM): *kills AIM*
Sarcazmo47 (11:11:49 PM): Do you have any ranks in weapon drill?
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:11:53 PM): What, was the book written by a three year old? In crayon? X_x
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:11:53 PM): And nope.
Sarcazmo47 (11:11:56 PM): Okay.
Sarcazmo47 (11:12:32 PM): Take -1 rank as you completely misinterpret what the book is telling you.
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:12:38 PM): XD
Sarcazmo47 (11:12:41 PM): It's take a skill point to get rid of that.
Sarcazmo47 (11:12:45 PM): Or some badass studying.
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:12:54 PM): I guess I better get to studying then, eh?
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:13:04 PM): Gives me something to do in my off time. >_>
Sarcazmo47 (11:13:05 PM): Right.
Sarcazmo47 (11:13:14 PM): As for the rest of the party?
AndrewRogue (11:13:32 PM): (Well... maybe you're getting all you're bad luck out of the way <_<) *continues idly flipping through the books, looking at pictures*
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:13:36 PM): *watches everyone else roll 20's, just so AIM dice can spite me*
*OnlineHost* (11:13:47 PM): AndrewRogue rolled 1 20-sided die: 11
AndrewRogue (11:13:52 PM): Nah, no 20 :p
Sarcazmo47 (11:14:14 PM): Oh, Gil! Knowledge: Weapon drill is now a cross-class skill for you.
Sarcazmo47 (11:14:59 PM): err, that's perform, isn't it?
Sarcazmo47 (11:14:59 PM): Anyway.
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:14:59 PM): Yep.
AndrewRogue (11:14:59 PM): "So Jacynth... why'd you pick all these?"
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:14:59 PM): Perform is crossclass anyway.
Sarcazmo47 (11:14:59 PM): Well.
Sarcazmo47 (11:15:50 PM): In that case, it'll take three points to get a rank, not two.
Sarcazmo47 (11:15:50 PM): Until you get rid of the -1.
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:15:50 PM): "Because I believe.......I do need to.....Perfect my skills, as it......Could possibly be."
Adm H Sopko (11:15:50 PM): "anyway, now that you are all here, I have a proposition for you all."
Adm H Sopko (11:16:28 PM): (Jac, I'll give you one million dollars to sleep with Adora<G>)
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:16:31 PM): *he perks his ears up, but doesn't look up from the books, though it's obvious he's listening, despite the fact he slouches lower down into the chair, looking much like a child who was never taught to sit up, despite his height*
Sarcazmo47 (11:16:38 PM): ((A huge orgy in order to get to know each other better!))
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:16:48 PM): (1 mill to sleep with the girl he's already banging? Sure!)
AndrewRogue (11:16:56 PM): "A proposition Hunter?" *picks up that aformentioned 'mystery novel.'*
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:17:16 PM): *Aria get's a face full of Kama Sutra* (XD)
Adm H Sopko (11:18:27 PM): "Well, after the last jaunt through wierdness lane... I came to realize a few things... one of them was that I need to accept responsibility for the way you both look to me. I never asked to be any sort of leader, but it
AndrewRogue (11:18:44 PM): *flips through. Sees the pretty pictures. Turns very red. Very red. Puts it back on the pile.* (How about a check to up Perform: Sex :p ... ...by the way. That's a joke <_< I don't want that check Kirj :p)
AndrewRogue (11:18:47 PM): *Kirk
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:19:07 PM): (I'll make a check to up perform: sex!)
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:19:13 PM): (Might as well. >_>)
*OnlineHost* (11:19:15 PM): MysteryGiIgamesh rolled 1 20-sided die: 15
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:19:23 PM): 17. XD
Adm H Sopko (11:19:44 PM): appears I have to face facts and accept that. Therefore I'm asking you to place your trust in me..."
Sarcazmo47 (11:20:28 PM): For your fifth subject?
Sarcazmo47 (11:20:34 PM): In four hours?
Sarcazmo47 (11:20:36 PM): Not without a 20.
AndrewRogue (11:20:48 PM): *she smiles weakly, trying to get her face to be the proper color again* "I...I trust you Hunter."
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:20:52 PM): (Hey, he's Int 14. :P That's smarter than most people by far.)
AndrewRogue (11:21:07 PM): (Only 1 point ahead of Aria :p)
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:21:13 PM): (Hell, even I'm not Int 14, and I can blast through 1,000 page+ books in an hour. XD)
Adm H Sopko (11:21:36 PM): (1 point ahead of Hunter as well. Soon, we'll be tied)
AndrewRogue (11:21:47 PM): (Meh, according to stupid skill point tests I've taken, I'm supposed to have a 14 intelligence.)
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:21:49 PM): (We used to be tied in int. My 4th level point went into Int, heh.)
Sarcazmo47 (11:22:29 PM): Anyhoo. Are Aria and Jac inspired? Does Jac ever stop acting like a pompous ass? Stay tuned to find out!
Adm H Sopko (11:22:29 PM): (My 4th level went into that modifier mixup... ::Sighs:: )
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:22:43 PM): (XD)
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:22:55 PM): (Well, he is an elf. ^_^)
Adm H Sopko (11:23:17 PM): ::Hunter smiles to Aria then looks to Bandon and Jac for their answer::
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:23:23 PM): "I have placed.....My trust within you, oh............Son of Man. 'Else I would not......Ever bother to follow...."
Adm H Sopko (11:24:18 PM): ::Chuckles:: "Now if i can only get you to stop with that 'son of man' business" ::Looks to Bandon finally::
Sarcazmo47 (11:26:16 PM): Bandon looks back.
Adm H Sopko (11:27:35 PM): ::Laughs a bit and shrugs:: "Two out of three isn't bad... but what I really wanted to propose was that we train ourselves to work better as a team. We all have skills we need to work on, and so I think that going to one of the
Adm H Sopko (11:28:41 PM): training sessions run by the Asguards would be good to brush up, maybe even learn some new things. We need to be prepared for what lies ahead, both in knowledge and in battle. I don't...." ::Trails off for a bit before
Adm H Sopko (11:29:11 PM): regaining his composture:: "I don't want whatever seems to have happened down in that place to happen again."
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:30:07 PM): *he nods in agreement*
Sarcazmo47 (11:30:17 PM): Bandon shrugs. "Joseph didn't send me with you to tell you what to do, Hunter."
AndrewRogue (11:30:29 PM): *nods, slowly* "...right."
Adm H Sopko (11:32:01 PM): "I'm not saying that, Bandon. I'm just asking for you to trust me. I don't want to tell you all what to do either... I'm not forcing any of you to do anything... I don't really know how to phrase it without sounding like a
Adm H Sopko (11:33:18 PM): pompous ass, but... I think if I assume the responsibility the others have looked to me for for so long, and seek to improve myself in it rather than shy away from it, that we can avoid situations like that from happening
Adm H Sopko (11:33:19 PM): again"
Sarcazmo47 (11:34:50 PM): Bandon nods. "If you feel it's appropriate, then I agree. I think all of you could profit from some profesional training - but I also think you should not be so ready to turn your swords against whatever is out there."
Adm H Sopko (11:35:45 PM): "Bandon... you really don't seem to be getting it. The objective of my wanting to become a better leader is so we can avoid situations like that."
Sarcazmo47 (11:37:17 PM): Bandon nods. "Then it seems like a good idea to me."
Adm H Sopko (11:37:38 PM): have to be ready, of be ready, o"From what I can gather from both experience, and from the stuff I've been reading lately... it's best to avoid combat whenever possible. It keeps your own men safe and alive. However, of
AndrewRogue (11:37:54 PM): (... ...)
Adm H Sopko (11:38:08 PM): course, when it comes to that, we have to be ready, of course. Which is where the professional training comes in"
Adm H Sopko (11:38:31 PM): (Bah... Stupid text limit messing up my damn lines.)
Adm H Sopko (11:38:48 PM): (And what a stupid repetition...)
AndrewRogue (11:40:04 PM): *she nods* "Its a little easier to learn when you have someone to teach you."
Sarcazmo47 (11:40:12 PM): Bandon shrugs again. "Then the sooner the better, I suppose."
Adm H Sopko (11:41:31 PM): ::Nods:: "Okay... agenda for today then for me is to find out information on where and when these sessions are held. Arianna... I want you to bring that book to the Yarovan. I guess we can all meet in the library to
Adm H Sopko (11:41:40 PM): continue our research."
AndrewRogue (11:42:23 PM): *she stands up, noticeably better on her feet. Looks like the headache has mostly diminished* "All right. And what about you Mister... Mister... ..."
Sarcazmo47 (11:43:40 PM): ((Mister Rogers?))
ForceJedi2001 (11:44:19 PM): (who's she talking too?)
Adm H Sopko (11:44:25 PM): (You, dopey)
ForceJedi2001 (11:44:32 PM): ( oh, heh)
AndrewRogue (11:44:34 PM): (The only one whose name she wouldn't know. Mister mister :p)
ForceJedi2001 (11:44:53 PM): " The names philanthras madam."
AndrewRogue (11:45:18 PM): *slightly embarassed chuckle* "Mister Philanthras then."
ForceJedi2001 (11:45:51 PM): *bows his head aand grins* " and the pleasure is all mine."
AndrewRogue (11:46:47 PM): "Ah... I'm sorry. Arianna. You can call me Aria."
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:47:08 PM): "Jacynth.........." *his voice wafts up from his face, which is buried within the book*
Adm H Sopko (11:47:58 PM): ::Chuckles lightly:: "And you're familiar with Bandon, here."
Sarcazmo47 (11:48:21 PM): Bandon nods.
Adm H Sopko (11:51:06 PM): "So what do you say, Phil? Will you join our band of deluded adventurers?"
ForceJedi2001 (11:52:44 PM): *scratches his chin and smiles, " why not, it seems my road follows your path anyway"
Sarcazmo47 (11:53:58 PM): Bandon stands up. "Well, then, it seems my place is at the library."
AndrewRogue (11:54:12 PM): *she grins back* "We just keep picking up new people. First Bandon and now you Mister Philanthras."
Adm H Sopko (11:55:38 PM): ::Shrugs:: "Seems to be a habit of this group since the beginning... you're relatively new as well, Arianna" ::He smiles::
AndrewRogue (11:55:56 PM): "Heh..."
AndrewRogue (11:56:15 PM): "I...I suppose you do have a point Hunter."
Adm H Sopko (11:58:51 PM): "If everyone is ready, we should get going. Meet as soon as possible at the library, and try to avoid trouble at all costs. Don't go meeting any suspicious nobility who want to make deals" ::A light chuckle::
AndrewRogue (12:00:11 AM): "I think I've met enough nobility for most lifetimes."
Adm H Sopko (12:01:23 AM): ::Another laugh:: "We all have..." ::He looks to Phil:: "Come with me, I'll explain the situation in better detail on the way"
AndrewRogue (12:02:01 AM): "Uhm... Hunter. Where is the notebook? And... for that matter, which way is it to Yaravon again?"
ForceJedi2001 (12:02:15 AM): *Nods and stands, getting ready to follow hunter, he adjustes his cloak and allows the hilt of his Longsword to peak out from under his right arm.*
Sarcazmo47 (12:02:27 AM): Bandon produces the notebook out of a bag at his side.
Adm H Sopko (12:04:21 AM): ::He chuckles:: "I guess I can walk you there. I think it's on the way to where I can find out the information we need anyway"
Sarcazmo47 (12:05:26 AM): So does the merry group get its merry ass in gear?
MysteryGiIgamesh (12:05:44 AM): Yes!
AndrewRogue (12:05:52 AM): "Sorry, I just don't know Asgard very well yet." (And yes, I assume. Although I guess this means its a freeze point for me.)
Sarcazmo47 (12:06:37 AM): So. You get the little pop up window, ["Bandon" has left the party!]
Adm H Sopko (12:07:01 AM): ["Phil" has joined the party!]
Sarcazmo47 (12:07:05 AM): Exactly.
AndrewRogue (12:07:14 AM): (Hey! Why are there little numbers floating over my head?)
MysteryGiIgamesh (12:07:37 AM): (XD)
Sarcazmo47 (12:07:41 AM): Bandon leaves for the library.
Sarcazmo47 (12:07:49 AM): Where are the rest of you going?
MysteryGiIgamesh (12:07:53 AM): ("Goddammit, according to this, my "Ehm Pee" is low.")
Adm H Sopko (12:08:00 AM): ::Hunter exits with Aria and Phil, headied in the direction of the Yarovan HQ::
MysteryGiIgamesh (12:08:04 AM): Following hunter.
MysteryGiIgamesh (12:08:06 AM): *Hunter
Adm H Sopko (12:08:24 AM): (Jac's loyal as a puppy)
MysteryGiIgamesh (12:08:35 AM): (Yeah, but he ain't house trained.)
Sarcazmo47 (12:08:41 AM): Okay. The Yarovan HQ looks pretty much exactly the same as the last time you saw it. Maybe a little dirtier....no, no, it's exactly the same.
AndrewRogue (12:09:19 AM): (And he keeps humping Adora <_<)
Adm H Sopko (12:09:39 AM): ::Hunter stops at the door:: "There you go, Aria... can you get yourself back to the library from here?"
Sarcazmo47 (12:10:04 AM): Aria, make me a wisdom check.
AndrewRogue (12:10:13 AM): I despise you :p
Sarcazmo47 (12:10:15 AM): Better yet, make me an Intuit Direction check.
*OnlineHost* (12:10:16 AM): AndrewRogue rolled 1 20-sided die: 18
AndrewRogue (12:10:20 AM): <_< 15
Sarcazmo47 (12:10:27 AM): Yes.
AndrewRogue (12:10:53 AM): "It shouldn't be a problem... and I suppose I can just call you if I get lost."
Adm H Sopko (12:11:46 AM): "Alright. No problem. Jac, you can stay with her or come with us if you wish"
MysteryGiIgamesh (12:12:01 AM): *coems with them
MysteryGiIgamesh (12:12:03 AM): * *
Sarcazmo47 (12:13:01 AM): Allright.
Sarcazmo47 (12:13:10 AM): Do we do Aria first, or Hunter?
Adm H Sopko (12:13:21 AM): ::After a goodbye with Aria, Hunter begins walking in the direction of the castle, which is near the Yarovan HQ. He begins relating to Phil the tale of everything that has happened so far::
Adm H Sopko (12:13:32 AM): (Aria. I've gotten enough of the spotlight lately)
Sarcazmo47 (12:13:49 AM): Phil, gain one rank in knowledge: this campaign.
ForceJedi2001 (12:14:07 AM): (sweetness)
Sarcazmo47 (12:14:15 AM): Okay.
Sarcazmo47 (12:14:19 AM): Aria, you're outside a building.
AndrewRogue (12:14:24 AM): (Well, I was going to say Hunter first because I thought I'd had enough spotlight lately <_< But I guess I'll be up first.)
Sarcazmo47 (12:15:06 AM): It's tall.
Sarcazmo47 (12:15:09 AM): Taller than you are.
AndrewRogue (12:15:36 AM): *sighs. to herself* ~Poor Hunter...~ *she enters the building*
Sarcazmo47 (12:17:14 AM): You're inside a building. Hey! You've been ehre before!
AndrewRogue (12:17:56 AM): (Positively outstanding!) *she looks about for someone who looks like an employee and walks up to them* "Excuse me..."
Sarcazmo47 (12:18:45 AM): The receptionist looks up.
Sarcazmo47 (12:18:51 AM): "Yes?"
AndrewRogue (12:19:34 AM): "Ah... is Mister Scarlett in?"
(12:19:34 AM) GreenishBunny has left the room.
Sarcazmo47 (12:19:45 AM): "Who is calling?"
MysteryGiIgamesh (12:19:49 AM): (Quick! Someone get Col. Mustard.)
AndrewRogue (12:20:19 AM): (...) "Ah... Arianna. I have something from Hunter Sopko..."
Sarcazmo47 (12:21:15 AM): The receptionist nods and walks towards the door with the guard outside of it.
Sarcazmo47 (12:21:33 AM): He goes through and comes out a few seconds later.
Sarcazmo47 (12:21:42 AM): "Wait just a moment, please."
AndrewRogue (12:21:57 AM): "Okay..."
Sarcazmo47 (12:22:23 AM): You wait significantly longer than a moment.
Sarcazmo47 (12:22:43 AM): While you wait, nothing of interest happens until....
AndrewRogue (12:22:45 AM): *just waits patiently*
Sarcazmo47 (12:22:53 AM): you make a spot check.
*OnlineHost* (12:22:53 AM): AndrewRogue rolled 1 20-sided die: 1
AndrewRogue (12:22:55 AM): I fail with -13
AndrewRogue (12:23:06 AM): -12 actually
Sarcazmo47 (12:23:16 AM): Actually, you still manage to spot the guy carrying the other guy into the room.
Sarcazmo47 (12:23:34 AM): The guy being carried looks hurt.
Sarcazmo47 (12:23:55 AM): You can't really tell who they might be or how hurt they are, though, cause they go by so fast.
AndrewRogue (12:24:22 AM): "Ah..." *watches, a little surprised as they practically rush him by*
Sarcazmo47 (12:25:17 AM): The receptionist, on the other hand, manages to pull his attention from the floor enough to say, "Oh my god!" and jump up and start helping carry the guy into the back.
AndrewRogue (12:25:59 AM): (You know. Poor Jac needs a spotlight scene soon. Huter and Aria keep taking up all the time <_<) "Ah... do you need a hand?" *not quite sure what's going on...*
Sarcazmo47 (12:26:35 AM): Does this color work?
MysteryGiIgamesh (12:26:38 AM): (Jac doesn't talk fast enough for him to be in the spotlight, unless the conversation is in elvish. Besides, he had plenty of spotlight time earlier in the campaign, I can't hof it all.)
AndrewRogue (12:26:48 AM): (Yes, yes it does.)
MysteryGiIgamesh (12:26:50 AM): (AND THAT COLOR BURNS!! X_X)
AndrewRogue (12:27:03 AM): (Pretty mild on my screen.)
Sarcazmo47 (12:27:07 AM): Good on both counts.
MysteryGiIgamesh (12:27:18 AM): (It's neon eyeburning death on my screen. please,. change in. X_x)
AndrewRogue (12:27:24 AM): (LOL!)
Sarcazmo47 (12:27:37 AM): Okay, they haul the dead guy in the back. Aria, have some DM pity and make ANOTHER spot check.
*OnlineHost* (12:28:16 AM): AndrewRogue rolled 1 20-sided die: 4
AndrewRogue (12:28:20 AM): ... 1
Sarcazmo47 (12:28:47 AM): *sigh* You think the guy carrying the wounded one might have been wearing a Yarovan uniform.
MysteryGiIgamesh (12:29:08 AM): (Please, change the color. Seriously.)
Sarcazmo47 (12:29:16 AM): (Sissy.)
MysteryGiIgamesh (12:29:26 AM): (Damned straight.)
MysteryGiIgamesh (12:29:37 AM): (Now change it. X_x)
Sarcazmo47 (12:30:29 AM): (Better?)
AndrewRogue (12:30:29 AM): (Aria really, really needs glasses...) *she doesn't want to get in the way, but she's obviously a little concerned* "If you need help I could do it..."
MysteryGiIgamesh (12:31:17 AM): (Yes, better.)
MysteryGiIgamesh (12:31:17 AM): (Thank you.)
MysteryGiIgamesh (12:31:17 AM): (Ack, brb. X_x)
Sarcazmo47 (12:31:45 AM): They're a little busy to hear you.
Sarcazmo47 (12:32:02 AM): The guard at Scarlett's door also follows them into the back.
AndrewRogue (12:33:12 AM): (*sighs* My dogs have conquered the couch. I'm left sitting on the very edge. They're so mean ;_;-) *she stands for a moment... somewhat at a loss. Then she'll go up and, very gently, knock on Scarlett's door*
Sarcazmo47 (12:33:53 AM): A disgruntled and familiar voice says, "What?"
AndrewRogue (12:34:12 AM): "Ah... Mister Scarlett? Its me, Arianna."
Sarcazmo47 (12:34:33 AM): There's a pause, then a sigh, then, "Well, don't just stand there. Come in."
AndrewRogue (12:35:22 AM): *she follows the instructions rather quickly, opening the door enough to slide in* "Hello."
Sarcazmo47 (12:37:47 AM): Sarlett is sitting at a desk with more vellum on it than you've ever seen in one place before besides the library.
Sarcazmo47 (12:38:25 AM): His hands are spotted with ink, and he's looking at a parchment as he speaks to you. "What brings you here by yourself, miss Aria?"
AndrewRogue (12:40:22 AM): (Argh... hang on. My dog's having a seisure. I'll be a few minutes.)
Sarcazmo47 (12:40:27 AM): Cut to Hunter!
Adm H Sopko (12:41:16 AM): ::They arrive? at the castle as he finishes up telling the story to Phil::
Sarcazmo47 (12:41:33 AM): Sure. You're at the gatehouse.
Sarcazmo47 (12:41:38 AM): It's big and heavy looking.
Sarcazmo47 (12:42:36 AM): There are a lot of guards.
Sarcazmo47 (12:42:46 AM): Also big and heavy looking.
Adm H Sopko (12:42:49 AM): "Now... there should be a guard we can talk to, or information board we can refer to..." ::Hunter goes to one of the guards:: "Excuse me?"
Sarcazmo47 (12:42:59 AM): "Yes, citizen?"
Adm H Sopko (12:43:23 AM): "Do you know where we can get information on the civilian training sessions being run by the Asguards?"
Sarcazmo47 (12:44:18 AM): "The Citizen's Defense Force is headquartered by the prison, citizen."
Adm H Sopko (12:46:41 AM): "Thank you." ::Walk walk to prison. Hopefully, they won't be remembered::
Sarcazmo47 (12:46:54 AM): So, you reach the prison.
MysteryGiIgamesh (12:47:12 AM): *is a bit wary, but hey, he wasn't in prison.....the second time*
Sarcazmo47 (12:48:31 AM): Seeing as how you're not handcuffed and it's not dark this time, you see the large building with an even larger open area attached to it that you would guess is a training field.
Adm H Sopko (12:49:24 AM): ::Hunter explores a bit, looking for a place he can go for information::
AndrewRogue (12:49:50 AM): (Sorry about that. My puppy is epillectic and occasionally has seisures despite being on medication. Poor girl ;_;-)
AndrewRogue (12:49:53 AM): *;_;
Sarcazmo47 (12:49:57 AM): Like, say, the front door?
Adm H Sopko (12:50:00 AM): That works
Sarcazmo47 (12:50:06 AM): Yeah.
Sarcazmo47 (12:50:32 AM): Inside, there's a guy cleaning the floor with a pumice stone and some water.
MysteryGiIgamesh (12:50:52 AM): (Poor doggy. ;_; )
Adm H Sopko (12:50:52 AM): Anyone else?
Sarcazmo47 (12:51:14 AM): The entire building looks to be a large barracks, and it's empty. There are some stairs at the other end.
Sarcazmo47 (12:51:33 AM): You saw from outside that it has two stories.
Adm H Sopko (12:52:13 AM): ::He looks to the man cleaning:: "Excuse me, where can we go to find information about the training sessions?"
Sarcazmo47 (12:53:41 AM): The guy looks up. "Oh! Sorry, didn't hear you come in."
Sarcazmo47 (12:53:41 AM): He stands and extends a wet, calloused hand toward you.
Sarcazmo47 (12:53:41 AM): He's wearing overalls. Make me a spot check.
*OnlineHost* (12:54:09 AM): MysteryGiIgamesh rolled 1 20-sided die: 10
MysteryGiIgamesh (12:54:22 AM): 24, since he's human...Right?
*OnlineHost* (12:54:28 AM): Adm H Sopko rolled 1 20-sided die: 12
AndrewRogue (12:54:39 AM): (Damn you and your ability to get a positive, double digit spot check <_<)
Adm H Sopko (12:54:52 AM): 23 if human
Adm H Sopko (12:57:01 AM): ::Shakes the man's hand in a friendly way::
Sarcazmo47 (12:57:01 AM): He's wearing a uniform of some sort under those overalls.
Sarcazmo47 (12:57:01 AM): The man gestures to the floor. It looks like he's cleaned most of it. "The name's Jarvis. What can I do for ya?"
MysteryGiIgamesh (12:58:16 AM): "We are........Looking for perhaps.....Some civillian training? We have.....Heard that there is....Such here.
MysteryGiIgamesh (12:58:16 AM): *"
Sarcazmo47 (12:59:23 AM): Jarvis nods. "Yup, that's right. This is the Citizen's Defense Force. If you're looking for training, well, the last class just graduated. We'll be starting again as soon as enough people signed up (more)
Sarcazmo47 (12:59:23 AM): and I get this place cleaned up and ready to go."
MysteryGiIgamesh (12:59:23 AM): "And how long.........Would this take, precisely?"
Sarcazmo47 (1:00:30 AM): Jarvis shrugs. "That depends. Attendance has been dropping off lately, so it could be a month or so before we get enough people to conduct a session. Plus, the commander will need to approve all the applicants...
Sarcazmo47 (1:00:40 AM): and, of course, I'll have to prepare the grounds."
Adm H Sopko (1:00:44 AM): ::Nods:: "How long is each session?"
Sarcazmo47 (1:01:38 AM): Javis shrugs. "That's up to the commander. "When they're ready," he usually says."
Adm H Sopko (1:03:25 AM): ::Smiles:: "Sounds about right for us... where do we sign up our group?"
Sarcazmo47 (1:03:25 AM): Jarvis shrugs. "Nowhere, today. You'll have to see the commander when he comes in tomorrow."
MysteryGiIgamesh (1:05:39 AM): "Do you know, perhaps.......What time this commander..........Shall be here on the........Next day?"
Sarcazmo47 (1:05:39 AM): Jarvis shrugs. "Nope. Usually pretty early."
Adm H Sopko (1:06:22 AM): "Alright, then. And as I understand, these are free session, correct?"
Sarcazmo47 (1:06:59 AM): Jarvis nods. "Sure."
AndrewRogue (1:11:17 AM): (*pokes chat*)
Sarcazmo47 (1:13:37 AM): Cut to Aria!
Sarcazmo47 (1:13:37 AM): Scarlett asked you a question.
AndrewRogue (1:13:37 AM): *she approaches the desk* "Hunter wanted me to drop this off to you..." *she extracts the notebook from her pack and hands it to him* "Ah... be really careful, some of the pages have snake...
AndrewRogue (1:13:37 AM): things that leap off the page and bite..."
Sarcazmo47 (1:13:37 AM): "Eh? What?"
Sarcazmo47 (1:15:43 AM): He takes the notebook and starts flipping through it.
AndrewRogue (1:15:43 AM): "No!"
Sarcazmo47 (1:15:43 AM): He looks at her. "What are you talking about, missy?"
AndrewRogue (1:15:43 AM): "Do you have a piece of paper?"
Sarcazmo47 (1:15:43 AM): He reaches into his desk and pulls out a large circular piece of glass.
Sarcazmo47 (1:16:36 AM): "Damn small writing." He murmurs, and goes back to the begining of the notebook.
Sarcazmo47 (1:16:37 AM): Which is in fact quite large, being written in Giant and all.
AndrewRogue (1:16:37 AM): (Is he keeping the glass down on the paper? Just curious.)
Sarcazmo47 (1:16:37 AM): ((He is, yes.))
AndrewRogue (1:16:37 AM): "We found it in a room rather deep in the... the complex. It was at a desk with a picture of a blonde girl..."
Sarcazmo47 (1:18:55 AM): He just keeps reading.
Sarcazmo47 (1:18:55 AM): "What exactly am I supposed to do with this?"
AndrewRogue (1:18:55 AM): *she shrugs* "Hunter thought it was your property... Ah... if you flip through a bit further, there are some pages that are just gibberish... Hunter said its a code you use sometimes? You...ah...wave the right badge over it and
AndrewRogue (1:19:00 AM): it turns normal... Ah... I think that's what he said..."
Adm H Sopko (1:20:49 AM): (Might have to wait for Alex on this... because he did say it was in that)
Sarcazmo47 (1:22:51 AM): Cut to Hunter!
Sarcazmo47 (1:23:30 AM): Jarvis agreed that it is indeed free.
Adm H Sopko (1:24:22 AM): "Okay. We'll be back tomorrow then. Thank you for you help, Jarvis."
Sarcazmo47 (1:24:35 AM): Jarvis nods. "Err, actually.."
Adm H Sopko (1:25:32 AM): "Hm?"
MysteryGiIgamesh (1:26:14 AM): "Yes.........?" *he looks up blankly*
Sarcazmo47 (1:28:20 AM): "Do you suppose you folks could help me out with this?" He gestures to the floor and the pumice. "I mean, I can do it and all, but it'd be a lot faster with your help, and the Commander likes it (more)
Sarcazmo47 (1:28:31 AM): when the place is clean by the time he gets back."
AndrewRogue (1:29:00 AM): (*laughs*)
Adm H Sopko (1:29:09 AM): (I knew it)
Sarcazmo47 (1:29:21 AM): ((Knew....what?))
Sarcazmo47 (1:29:52 AM): The man squeezes his hands. "I'd be sure to tell the commander that you helped me out..."
Sarcazmo47 (1:29:56 AM): He looks kind of nervous.
Adm H Sopko (1:30:06 AM): ::Looks to Jac and phil:: "I know those of the Blood have a bit more pride, but would you mind helping the man out? We don't have much else to do..."
MysteryGiIgamesh (1:30:54 AM): "I can.........Help. I have not......A problem with working.....With my hands." *he smirks*
Sarcazmo47 (1:31:35 AM): The man claps his hands. "Great!" He goes over to the stairs.
Sarcazmo47 (1:31:40 AM): Spot check
*OnlineHost* (1:32:07 AM): Adm H Sopko rolled 1 20-sided die: 1
Adm H Sopko (1:32:18 AM): -3...
*OnlineHost* (1:32:18 AM): MysteryGiIgamesh rolled 1 20-sided die: 11
Adm H Sopko (1:32:24 AM): 1 if it's a human
MysteryGiIgamesh (1:32:24 AM): 25 since he's human?
Sarcazmo47 (1:32:52 AM): Jac, give me an Int.....actually, make it a knowledge: nature check.
*OnlineHost* (1:33:01 AM): MysteryGiIgamesh rolled 1 20-sided die: 2
MysteryGiIgamesh (1:33:10 AM): 9, sadly.
AndrewRogue (1:33:20 AM): (*falls off his seat and begins laughing maniaclly*)
Sarcazmo47 (1:33:26 AM): There's something funny about the way he's walking, but you can't place it.
MysteryGiIgamesh (1:33:34 AM): (....He's got massive balls?)
Adm H Sopko (1:33:43 AM): ((ROFL))
AndrewRogue (1:33:52 AM): (XD)
Sarcazmo47 (1:33:52 AM): Anyway, he goes up the stairs and comes back with some pumice stones.
Sarcazmo47 (1:34:17 AM): He hands one to both of you, dumps the water out on the floor, and goes out to refill the bucket.
Sarcazmo47 (1:34:23 AM): Both of you give me wisdom checks.
Adm H Sopko (1:34:24 AM): (Do we get ranks in Profession: Janitor?)
MysteryGiIgamesh (1:34:32 AM): (XD)
*OnlineHost* (1:34:32 AM): MysteryGiIgamesh rolled 1 20-sided die: 7
*OnlineHost* (1:34:32 AM): Adm H Sopko rolled 1 20-sided die: 11
AndrewRogue (1:34:34 AM): (XD)
MysteryGiIgamesh (1:34:34 AM): 9.
Adm H Sopko (1:34:34 AM): 12
Sarcazmo47 (1:35:23 AM): Right. Well, Sopko, you remeber that the man's hands were REALLY calloused when you shook his hand, and you ntoice that these stones are really jagged and rough.
Sarcazmo47 (1:35:28 AM): Give a spot check.
*OnlineHost* (1:35:33 AM): MysteryGiIgamesh rolled 1 20-sided die: 1
AndrewRogue (1:35:47 AM): (BWAHAHAHAHA!)
*OnlineHost* (1:35:47 AM): Adm H Sopko rolled 1 20-sided die: 11
MysteryGiIgamesh (1:35:48 AM): 5 since he's human.
Adm H Sopko (1:35:53 AM): 18, 22 if human
Sarcazmo47 (1:35:53 AM): Yeah, the one the other guy is using is a lot smoother.
(1:36:01 AM) ForceJedi2001 has left the room.
Sarcazmo47 (1:36:01 AM): Gil, you don't notice.
MysteryGiIgamesh (1:36:10 AM): (I still say he must have massive balls.)
Sarcazmo47 (1:36:27 AM): Right. The guy comes back with another bucket of water.
Adm H Sopko (1:36:59 AM): Jagged like enough to seriously injure us? Or just rough?
Sarcazmo47 (1:37:03 AM): "Well, let's get working!" He says cheerfully, pushes up his sleeves, and starts working.
Sarcazmo47 (1:37:20 AM): Not like they're going to slice your hands open if you touch them, but pretty rough, yeah.
MysteryGiIgamesh (1:37:27 AM): *imitates the guy*
Sarcazmo47 (1:37:35 AM): Heh.
MysteryGiIgamesh (1:37:41 AM): (Monkey see, monkey do.)
Adm H Sopko (1:38:02 AM): ::Begins work on cleanup::
Sarcazmo47 (1:38:05 AM): Ya'll need to make me profession: janitor checks. Int checks if you don't have any ranks.
*OnlineHost* (1:38:15 AM): Adm H Sopko rolled 1 20-sided die: 18
Adm H Sopko (1:38:19 AM): 19
Sarcazmo47 (1:38:23 AM): And spot checks.
*OnlineHost* (1:38:29 AM): Adm H Sopko rolled 1 20-sided die: 16
AndrewRogue (1:38:30 AM): (Damn this high intensity janitor work!)
Adm H Sopko (1:38:48 AM): 23, 27 if human
Sarcazmo47 (1:38:48 AM): Sopko, you figure out a pretty efficient way to work and get about a third of the remaining area.
*OnlineHost* (1:38:49 AM): MysteryGiIgamesh rolled 1 20-sided die: 20
Sarcazmo47 (1:38:50 AM): cleaned, I mean.
Sarcazmo47 (1:39:08 AM): You too, Gil.
MysteryGiIgamesh (1:39:08 AM): 40-something.
MysteryGiIgamesh (1:39:13 AM): I see some guy ten miles away picking his ass or something. >_>
Sarcazmo47 (1:39:15 AM): That was your Int check, Gil. Now roll your spot.
*OnlineHost* (1:39:20 AM): MysteryGiIgamesh rolled 1 20-sided die: 7
Sarcazmo47 (1:39:26 AM): Right.
MysteryGiIgamesh (1:39:33 AM): 21 since he's human.
Sarcazmo47 (1:39:44 AM): So, you both notice that Jarvis made basically no progress whatsoever.
Sarcazmo47 (1:39:51 AM): I need you both to make fortitude saves.
*OnlineHost* (1:39:58 AM): Adm H Sopko rolled 1 20-sided die: 19
Adm H Sopko (1:40:02 AM): 26
*OnlineHost* (1:40:10 AM): MysteryGiIgamesh rolled 1 20-sided die: 2
MysteryGiIgamesh (1:40:10 AM): ...Low.
MysteryGiIgamesh (1:40:15 AM): Is this endurance-based?
Sarcazmo47 (1:40:22 AM): Sopko, you take one point of damage as the stone itself rubs your hands raw.
MysteryGiIgamesh (1:40:23 AM): *flaunt's endurance feat, whee*
Sarcazmo47 (1:40:26 AM): Gil..
*OnlineHost* (1:40:30 AM): Sarcazmo47 rolled 1 4-sided die: 4
Adm H Sopko (1:40:37 AM): If endurance factors in, 30
Sarcazmo47 (1:40:46 AM): Take four damage and four temporary dex damage.
Sarcazmo47 (1:40:53 AM): Your hands are bleeding.
MysteryGiIgamesh (1:40:53 AM): o_O
MysteryGiIgamesh (1:40:58 AM): Ow.
Sarcazmo47 (1:41:15 AM): Damn you, four sided die!
Sarcazmo47 (1:41:29 AM): Do you guys keep going?
AndrewRogue (1:41:31 AM): (This janitor work has had enough rolls to qualify as a high intensity combat :p)
MysteryGiIgamesh (1:41:33 AM): Total on that roll was 9, 13 with endurance.
MysteryGiIgamesh (1:41:37 AM): And yes.
Adm H Sopko (1:41:42 AM): Do I still take damage with a 30 on the endurance?
Sarcazmo47 (1:41:42 AM): Okay.
MysteryGiIgamesh (1:41:43 AM): Keep going. Pain is good for the sould.
MysteryGiIgamesh (1:41:49 AM): *soul
Sarcazmo47 (1:41:57 AM): In another hour, you easily finish the floor.
Sarcazmo47 (1:42:02 AM): Fort saves again.
*OnlineHost* (1:42:09 AM): Adm H Sopko rolled 1 20-sided die: 15
*OnlineHost* (1:42:17 AM): MysteryGiIgamesh rolled 1 20-sided die: 14
Adm H Sopko (1:42:20 AM): 22, 26 with endurance
MysteryGiIgamesh (1:42:31 AM): 21, 25 with endurance.
Sarcazmo47 (1:42:50 AM): Okay, you both take one more point of damage. Gil, you take another point of dex damage because you're exacerbating the injury.
MysteryGiIgamesh (1:43:00 AM): Pain is for the weak.
Sarcazmo47 (1:43:24 AM): Yes, your rolls are high, but realize you've just been rubbing hard pointy things against your palms for two hours.
Sarcazmo47 (1:43:29 AM): Really hard.
Sarcazmo47 (1:43:54 AM): Once you're done, Jarvis comes on over.
Adm H Sopko (1:44:10 AM): (I think that Hunter would easily know to turn to the other side and use that once one side is smooth)
MysteryGiIgamesh (1:44:10 AM): He's been living in the woods for about 50 years. His hands are probably so calloused from jacking off his hands could stop blades. ^_~
Sarcazmo47 (1:44:50 AM): Sopko, make me an int check.
*OnlineHost* (1:44:50 AM): Adm H Sopko rolled 1 20-sided die: 2
Sarcazmo47 (1:44:52 AM): Actually, make it a knowledge:nature check.
Adm H Sopko (1:44:59 AM): Can I reroll?
MysteryGiIgamesh (1:45:07 AM): (I still say this guy has massive balls. >_>)
Sarcazmo47 (1:45:11 AM): Unless you have a more apllicable skill for stones, and no.
Sarcazmo47 (1:45:23 AM): All you know is that the stone gets no softer.
Sarcazmo47 (1:45:42 AM): Gil, you give me a knowledge nature check, as well.
Adm H Sopko (1:45:44 AM): K
*OnlineHost* (1:45:48 AM): MysteryGiIgamesh rolled 1 20-sided die: 4
MysteryGiIgamesh (1:45:49 AM): ....
MysteryGiIgamesh (1:45:58 AM): 11
Adm H Sopko (1:46:02 AM): See why we prefer combat? We suck at knowledge
MysteryGiIgamesh (1:46:12 AM): I don't suck.
MysteryGiIgamesh (1:46:12 AM): My rolls do.
Sarcazmo47 (1:46:13 AM): You know that your stone isn't grinding down the way pumice normally does.
MysteryGiIgamesh (1:46:21 AM): "...Odd............."
Adm H Sopko (1:46:31 AM): ::Looks over:: "What is it?"
MysteryGiIgamesh (1:46:35 AM): ("This is how we weed the strong from the weak!)
Sarcazmo47 (1:46:51 AM): ((Or he's just a lazy janitor...))
MysteryGiIgamesh (1:46:51 AM): "The stone isn't.........Grinding down as...........Pumice should, oh.......Son of Man."
Adm H Sopko (1:48:38 AM): ::Looks at his own more closely:: "You're right I suppose..." ::Looks to jarvis:: "Care to explain?"
*OnlineHost* (1:48:38 AM): Sarcazmo47 rolled 1 20-sided die: 6
Sarcazmo47 (1:48:38 AM): Well, nevermind the listen check.
Sarcazmo47 (1:48:38 AM): Jarvis looks up. "Hmm?"
Adm H Sopko (1:48:40 AM): "We are finished, but my friend has made an observation about these stones..."
Sarcazmo47 (1:48:51 AM): I'm a much more dice-happy DM than Alex is. Sorry if it's not your style.
Sarcazmo47 (1:49:13 AM): Jarvis stands up and starts examining the areas you guys did.
Sarcazmo47 (1:49:50 AM): "Oh....well.....thanks, guys. But I'm afraid you weren't really doing it right."
AndrewRogue (1:50:19 AM): ("You're holding them upside down. The sharp end goes DOWN.")
MysteryGiIgamesh (1:50:19 AM): (Aye, we suck.)
Sarcazmo47 (1:50:48 AM): "You really have to push hard to get the boards clean the way the commander likes then."
Sarcazmo47 (1:51:03 AM): "I think we'll need to do this part over again."
MysteryGiIgamesh (1:51:34 AM): (Well, here's hoping Bandon can heal ability damage! *clinks wineglasses*)
MysteryGiIgamesh (1:51:46 AM): *he nods, and does it again*
Sarcazmo47 (1:52:32 AM): Are you going to do it the same way you did it before, or are you going to try to put your back into it?
MysteryGiIgamesh (1:52:32 AM): Put my back into it!
Sarcazmo47 (1:52:33 AM): STR check.
*OnlineHost* (1:52:40 AM): MysteryGiIgamesh rolled 1 20-sided die: 11
MysteryGiIgamesh (1:52:43 AM): 14
Sarcazmo47 (1:52:47 AM): Will save.
Adm H Sopko (1:52:49 AM): (We weren't putting our backs into it?) ::Hunter still tries to mix efficiency and strength::
*OnlineHost* (1:52:52 AM): MysteryGiIgamesh rolled 1 20-sided die: 3
AndrewRogue (1:52:55 AM): (Press X-Repeatedly to scrub harder. The harder you scrub, the faster you clean.)
MysteryGiIgamesh (1:52:58 AM): ....God, I suck today.
Sarcazmo47 (1:53:28 AM): Okay, you try to do it, but considering how your hands are split open and bleeding, you have trouble forcing yourself to get very far with it.
Sarcazmo47 (1:53:46 AM): The plus side is that you don't force yourself to make a fortitude save.
Sarcazmo47 (1:54:03 AM): Hunter, do you want a STR check?
MysteryGiIgamesh (1:54:19 AM): *takes out cloth, puts it between rough stone and hand, and then proceeds to force it*
Sarcazmo47 (1:54:25 AM): And, both of you make spot checks, please.
MysteryGiIgamesh (1:54:29 AM): (Padding helps.)
*OnlineHost* (1:54:30 AM): Adm H Sopko rolled 1 20-sided die: 9
*OnlineHost* (1:54:30 AM): MysteryGiIgamesh rolled 1 20-sided die: 8
Adm H Sopko (1:54:37 AM): 16, or 20 on the spot
MysteryGiIgamesh (1:54:43 AM): 20, 22 if human.
Sarcazmo47 (1:55:37 AM): Okay. Hutner and Gil both do not see any discerable difference between the floor they did once and the one they did twice - or any diffrence between that and the floor the janitor had already done. Jarvis
Sarcazmo47 (1:55:59 AM): again seems to be making no progress, and actually seems to be watching you guys.
Sarcazmo47 (1:56:21 AM): Hunter, I need a STR check from you.
*OnlineHost* (1:56:28 AM): Adm H Sopko rolled 1 20-sided die: 19
MysteryGiIgamesh (1:56:36 AM): *keeps on trying because he's a glutton for punishment*
Adm H Sopko (1:56:36 AM): 20
Sarcazmo47 (1:56:48 AM): Great. You haul on that rock like nobody's buisness.
Sarcazmo47 (1:56:48 AM): Fort save.
*OnlineHost* (1:56:48 AM): Adm H Sopko rolled 1 20-sided die: 18
Adm H Sopko (1:56:55 AM): 25, 29 with endurance
MysteryGiIgamesh (1:57:06 AM): Me too?
Sarcazmo47 (1:57:06 AM): Take one damage. You do the entire area you did before again in one fell janitorial swoop.
MysteryGiIgamesh (1:57:08 AM): Or just him? >_>
Sarcazmo47 (1:57:20 AM): Gil, you were too much of a pansy to make yourself take damage.
MysteryGiIgamesh (1:57:33 AM): Bah. :P
Adm H Sopko (1:57:42 AM): ::Looks over everything:: "How is it now?"
MysteryGiIgamesh (1:57:45 AM): *tries to force self to do better, can't let pansy Son of Man beat me*
Sarcazmo47 (1:57:48 AM): But you can try again with your brilliant invention, the glove, now.
*OnlineHost* (1:57:55 AM): MysteryGiIgamesh rolled 1 20-sided die: 4
MysteryGiIgamesh (1:58:09 AM): (*bangs head against desk*)
MysteryGiIgamesh (1:58:21 AM): (Next time I'm just taking 20. X_x)
Sarcazmo47 (1:58:30 AM): Well, you can't really get a good enough grip to push very hard, given how your blood is soaking through the cloth.
Sarcazmo47 (1:58:42 AM): Fort save?
MysteryGiIgamesh (1:58:42 AM): *solution=more cloth!*
*OnlineHost* (1:58:44 AM): MysteryGiIgamesh rolled 1 20-sided die: 9
Adm H Sopko (1:58:45 AM): Hunter has a future in the custodial arts
Sarcazmo47 (1:59:04 AM): With the glove, you take no damage. But it still hurts like hell.
MysteryGiIgamesh (1:59:07 AM): 16 normal, 20 with endurance.
Sarcazmo47 (1:59:22 AM): You get your area done, too, assuming Hunter helps out out.
MysteryGiIgamesh (1:59:29 AM): *grits and bears it, Hell, not any worse than flaming poison acid*
Adm H Sopko (1:59:34 AM): Damn skippy I show the elf up
Sarcazmo47 (1:59:41 AM): Good.
Adm H Sopko (1:59:56 AM): I did ask Jarvis a question
MysteryGiIgamesh (1:59:59 AM): ((-_-i))
Sarcazmo47 (2:00:05 AM): Yes. He also ignored you.
Sarcazmo47 (2:00:10 AM): And you didn't press it.
Adm H Sopko (2:00:29 AM): There was no mention of ignoring.
Sarcazmo47 (2:00:31 AM): Right. If I'm going to fast, feel free to interrupt me.
Sarcazmo47 (2:01:52 AM): Oh!
Sarcazmo47 (2:02:08 AM): Right. Yeah, Jarvis looks over your area and nods. "Nicely done, sir."
Sarcazmo47 (2:02:47 AM): You guys have spent about three and a half hours here at this point.
Sarcazmo47 (2:03:02 AM): Considering travel time, it's actually midafternoon.
Sarcazmo47 (2:03:50 AM): Aaaaaaaand Kirk is talking to himself.
Adm H Sopko (2:04:19 AM): ::He stands, stretching out a bit:: "Thank you, Jarvis... if I may ask... you look a bit strained... your walk that is..."
Sarcazmo47 (2:04:44 AM): Hunter didn't actually notice that. Jac did.
MysteryGiIgamesh (2:05:48 AM): "......?"
MysteryGiIgamesh (2:05:51 AM): (Noticed what?)
Sarcazmo47 (2:05:58 AM): He walked funny.
AndrewRogue (2:06:00 AM): (Jarvis's funny walk)
Sarcazmo47 (2:06:02 AM): The big balls thing.
MysteryGiIgamesh (2:06:03 AM): (Oh. His huge balls.)
Sarcazmo47 (2:06:34 AM): Right.
MysteryGiIgamesh (2:06:57 AM): *continues trying to put his back into it* (Damned bad rolls.)
Sarcazmo47 (2:07:12 AM): Jac, you finish up.
Sarcazmo47 (2:07:26 AM): That cloth your were using is now ragged and totally blood-soaked.
MysteryGiIgamesh (2:09:06 AM): *simply says nothing about it, wiping hands off as best as possible when finished*
Sarcazmo47 (2:09:35 AM): Jarvis takes your stones and his and goes back up the stairs with them.
Sarcazmo47 (2:09:47 AM): Hunter, would you like another spot check?
Adm H Sopko (2:09:57 AM): Sure
*OnlineHost* (2:10:10 AM): Adm H Sopko rolled 1 20-sided die: 18
Sarcazmo47 (2:10:33 AM): Knoweldge: Anatomy or Knowledge: Nature.
Adm H Sopko (2:10:49 AM): No ranks in either... so...
*OnlineHost* (2:10:49 AM): Adm H Sopko rolled 1 20-sided die: 18
Sarcazmo47 (2:10:49 AM): Heh!
Adm H Sopko (2:10:49 AM): 19
Sarcazmo47 (2:10:49 AM): Allright.
Sarcazmo47 (2:11:41 AM): Hunter, you notice that his stride is sort of strange, like he used to have a limp or injury of some kind that he has compensated for or that he had to relearn how to walk.
Sarcazmo47 (2:12:01 AM): So, he comes back down the stairs.
Adm H Sopko (2:12:52 AM): "Jarvis... if I may be so bold as to ask you... you seem a bit strained... the way you walk that is... is anything wrong?"
Sarcazmo47 (2:13:45 AM): Jarvis looks at you confusedly. "What'r ya talkin about? You mean my limp?" He suddenly looks a little sad. "Oh. Yeah, I try to hide it, but I guess I'm not to good at it."
Adm H Sopko (2:14:42 AM): "Sorry for bringing it up... but... it was just something I noticed and was concerned abuot..."
Sarcazmo47 (2:15:36 AM): Jarvis waves it off. "Nothin' you youngsters need to concern yourself about. Now, I gotta thank ya for your help. That would have taken all day without ya."
Adm H Sopko (2:16:41 AM): ::He chuckles:: "No problem. It was a bit taxing on the old hands, but it's always good to work together on these things"
MysteryGiIgamesh (2:16:48 AM): "Not much...............Of a problem......"
Sarcazmo47 (2:17:16 AM): Jarvis's eyes sparkle at Sopko's words. "Aye, teamwork is one of the most important things in this buisness."
Sarcazmo47 (2:18:17 AM): "Well, I'm sure you young fellows have buisness to get to, so I won't hold you. I'll make sure the commander knows how helpful you've been."
MysteryGiIgamesh (2:18:39 AM): *he nods to the man, and then looks to Hunter*
Adm H Sopko (2:19:20 AM): "Again, no problem. Thanks again for the information. We will see you tomorrow, maybe." ::With a nod of respect, they exit to library!::
Sarcazmo47 (2:19:41 AM): To library, indeed.
MysteryGiIgamesh (2:19:47 AM): *follows*
Sarcazmo47 (2:19:57 AM): Cut to Aria, assuming Andew is still awake.
Adm H Sopko (2:20:16 AM): ((Alex still working? ))
Sarcazmo47 (2:20:22 AM): I guess so.
Sarcazmo47 (2:20:33 AM): Tired of my dice crazy DMing? :-D
AndrewRogue (2:20:38 AM): (Yep, sorry, was surfing the net between checking to see what happens :p)
Adm H Sopko (2:21:10 AM): ((::Cries:: I wanted a Profession: Janitor...<G>))
MysteryGiIgamesh (2:21:23 AM): (I wanted perform sex. :P)
AndrewRogue (2:21:44 AM): (You deserve it after the killer roll. And Gil, you need to read that Kama Sutra your brought :p)
Sarcazmo47 (2:21:51 AM): Sopko, and Jac, take 1/2 a rank in Profession: Janitor.
Adm H Sopko (2:21:59 AM): ((Jac read the kama sutra upside down and had Adora on top))
MysteryGiIgamesh (2:22:07 AM): (I actually own in real life. It was a gift for my girlfriend and I. X_x)
MysteryGiIgamesh (2:22:22 AM): (Well, back when I had a girlfriend. *sighs*)
AndrewRogue (2:22:32 AM): (I... yeah. We all know I'm a virgin. And single. So, anyway...)
Adm H Sopko (2:22:34 AM): ((Yay! Prof: Janitor!<G>))
Adm H Sopko (2:22:54 AM): ((And that I am a non-single, non-virgin))
Sarcazmo47 (2:22:57 AM): So. To Aria. Scarlett looks at her oddly for a moment, then busts out a badge and waves it over the page with the squiggles.
Sarcazmo47 (2:23:03 AM): Nothing happens.
Sarcazmo47 (2:23:10 AM): They continue to appear to be squiggles.
MysteryGiIgamesh (2:23:23 AM): ("Freeze! I AM THE LAW!")
AndrewRogue (2:23:40 AM): *laughs embarassedly* "So much for that theory I guess."
Adm H Sopko (2:24:17 AM): ((::Sighs:: I'm mad<G> The notebook has the exact reasons why the Yarovan sent Eliminators there and he doesn't even notice<G>))
Sarcazmo47 (2:24:54 AM): Scarlett jams the badge back into a drawer and shoves the notebook at Aria. "Now go away. I have enough on my hands with Elimnator squads being wiped out left and right that I don't need to screw around poetry,"
AndrewRogue (2:25:57 AM): *scrounges in her pack and also extracts that unlabled jar o' dusty stuff* "Ah... I suppose I should give this to you first. We found it in the complex and picked it up for some reason..." *accepting the notebook back*
AndrewRogue (2:26:12 AM): "I guess it probably should go to you..."
Sarcazmo47 (2:26:22 AM): He looks at her blankly. "What am I, an alechemist?"
Adm H Sopko (2:26:28 AM): And she knows who and why the Elminator squad was wiped out
MysteryGiIgamesh (2:26:29 AM): (We picked it up because adventurer's is synonomous with "scavenger bastiches".)
MysteryGiIgamesh (2:27:03 AM): (I'm surprised we didn't take everything that wasn't nailed down. And even a few things that were.)
SirAlextheFirst (2:27:03 AM): Holy nuts
SirAlextheFirst (2:27:03 AM): You guys are still going.
Sarcazmo47 (2:27:13 AM): Why, yes. So did Lea, who already told him her story. So some people might think he was talking about some other squad.
SirAlextheFirst (2:27:15 AM): Well, I'm back
MysteryGiIgamesh (2:27:16 AM): (Aye. And Jac has 5 dex damage.)
AndrewRogue (2:27:20 AM): *thinks for a moment, not catching that last phrase* "Eliminator SquadS? As in, more than one?"
Adm H Sopko (2:27:33 AM): Yay! Alex back!
Sarcazmo47 (2:27:36 AM): Yay!
MysteryGiIgamesh (2:27:39 AM): (Jac needs healing. ;_; )
Sarcazmo47 (2:27:42 AM): Thank GOD!
AndrewRogue (2:27:44 AM): (*waves at Alex*)
MysteryGiIgamesh (2:27:54 AM): (Next time let me GM? :D)
Adm H Sopko (2:29:21 AM): ((::Waits for Alex to catch up:: ))
Sarcazmo47 (2:29:25 AM): Alex, correct Scarlett's last statement if he does in fact have some interest in the little bottle of unlabeled powedery stuff.
AndrewRogue (2:29:43 AM): (God, the Quizno's Commercial with the hamster things scares me >_<)
SirAlextheFirst (2:30:12 AM): *reads*
Adm H Sopko (2:30:51 AM): Or if the notebook has the gibberish the Yarovan uses as code
SirAlextheFirst (2:30:59 AM): Mr. Scarlett will indeed take the jar, saying "Thank you, miss."
SirAlextheFirst (2:31:27 AM): And no, the notebook does nothing when he waves the badge over it.
SirAlextheFirst (2:31:38 AM): He doesn't give it back, though, unless you ask for it back.
AndrewRogue (2:32:26 AM): (Meh, she doesn't. However, if he references the Eliminator Squads getting eliminated, he asks about it. If he doesn't, she asks about the injured man instead)
SirAlextheFirst (2:33:14 AM): The rest of the conversation goes as was said.
AndrewRogue (2:34:40 AM): (Then yep, she asks as per above)
SirAlextheFirst (2:35:28 AM): He snorts. "Yes, more than one."
AndrewRogue (2:36:07 AM): "Would that have something to do with the man that was being carried by? He looked injured..."
SirAlextheFirst (2:37:50 AM): Scarlett starts to say something, stops, then looks at Aria calmly. "It's company policy not to discuss job accidents. He'll be fine."
AndrewRogue (2:38:27 AM): (Diplomacy check to try and inquire a bit more?)
SirAlextheFirst (2:38:47 AM): Sure.
*OnlineHost* (2:39:02 AM): AndrewRogue rolled 1 20-sided die: 20
AndrewRogue (2:39:10 AM): 23 ^_~
Adm H Sopko (2:39:21 AM): 33, actually<G>
AndrewRogue (2:39:38 AM): 25 if you want to count the Nimbus bonus, even if she isn't manifesting it :p
AndrewRogue (2:39:46 AM): er... 35 I guess then.
SirAlextheFirst (2:39:53 AM): Okay.
SirAlextheFirst (2:39:58 AM): What are you doing with that?
AndrewRogue (2:40:30 AM): She'll simply try to ask more about the injured man, and about the other Eliminator squads.
SirAlextheFirst (2:40:58 AM): So, you give him a doey-sad-puppy-eyes look?
AndrewRogue (2:41:18 AM): Yep, that sounds about right.
Sarcazmo47 (2:41:45 AM): Does your nose become sharp enough to impale someone with?
Sarcazmo47 (2:42:12 AM): Sorry. Bad anime joke.
AndrewRogue (2:42:40 AM): (:p Indeed.)
SirAlextheFirst (2:42:50 AM): He twitches, and looks troubled, then says "Yes, I sent out more Eliminator squads after the first failed to report back. They're not having any luck. Or many survivors, for that matter. You should pray for that man."
AndrewRogue (2:43:27 AM): *she nods sadly* "Were they... were they sent to the same place?"
SirAlextheFirst (2:44:49 AM): "No, of course not. They were sent to the other colonies."
AndrewRogue (2:46:24 AM): "...do you have any idea what's doing it?"
SirAlextheFirst (2:47:35 AM): "What's doing what?"
AndrewRogue (2:48:27 AM): "What's... what's killing off all the squads..."
SirAlextheFirst (2:49:23 AM): Scarlett sighs. "I have my guesses. Yours are probably the same. It's that girl, and her father, who's apparently joined up with her. And their team of freaks."
AndrewRogue (2:51:18 AM): *her teeth tighten slightly* "...I suppose I shouldn't bother you longer then. If you need some help though... don't hesitate to call." *she sighs* "I think what happened shook Hunter up quite a bit..."
SirAlextheFirst (2:52:36 AM): *laughs* "Oh, really? You think he might be finally realizing what he's cost everyone in antagonizing them?"
AndrewRogue (2:53:34 AM): "What do you mean antagonizing everyone?" *slightly indignant*
Adm H Sopko (2:53:51 AM): (I wonder...)
SirAlextheFirst (2:54:16 AM): He looks a bit surprised. "What do I mean?:
AndrewRogue (2:55:00 AM): "Yes. What do you mean?"
SirAlextheFirst (2:55:22 AM): "Let me count. I mean: angering the Marquis, when he could have just made the same deal you did with him. Not telling anyone about it. Attempting an illegal break-in of his house.
SirAlextheFirst (2:55:44 AM): And finally, flipping out over the death of a thief and fighting the guy after the girl ran away."
SirAlextheFirst (2:58:00 AM): He subsides. "That last is the real kicker, though. We expect our officers to be able to put aside personal issues to deal with important parties. He explicitly failed with that, and so we've lost our - ANYONE'S -
SirAlextheFirst (2:58:06 AM): only link to the girl."
AndrewRogue (2:58:49 AM): "...and the Marquis had any more right in what he did? Hunter realized he made a mistake and he accepts his blame." *she looks slightly incensed* "For that matter, as far as I can tell, the Marquis's actions
AndrewRogue (2:59:14 AM): in the end were his own doing, not Hunter's!"
Adm H Sopko (3:00:39 AM): (::Holds up a "Stiener > Marquis" banner:: ))
SirAlextheFirst (3:01:36 AM): Scarlett shakes his head. "Completely irrelevant. What matters is that we needed to get to that girl, we only had one way of doing so, and Hunter lost it for us, while violating a crucial officer standard."
AndrewRogue (3:04:13 AM): "How did Hunter lose Rosa for you? In the end, Rosa attacked them. How is Hunter responsible for that man's actions?" *she shakes her head*
SirAlextheFirst (3:05:09 AM): He levels his gaze at you. "What did Hunter do after the girl left?"
AndrewRogue (3:06:13 AM): (Er, would Hunter have ever told her the specifics of what he did? She wasn't there at the beginning...)
AndrewRogue (3:06:22 AM): (beginning of that incident)
SirAlextheFirst (3:06:47 AM): (Tell him whatever you will)
AndrewRogue (3:09:14 AM): (We'll assume the story was shared then) "He saved Rosa's man servant's life before pursuing Marion. After she escaped, he retrieved Nash's body, he simply asked Rosa what he would do about the entire
AndrewRogue (3:10:18 AM): situation. He threatened them and then attacked, and they defended themselves." *her face hardens slightly* "Even... even after surrendering he had his guards beath them. He stripped them of their possessions
AndrewRogue (3:10:36 AM): and threw them out. What else could Hunter have done? He had no control over the situation!"
SirAlextheFirst (3:10:46 AM): Bluff check.
*OnlineHost* (3:10:58 AM): SirAlextheFirst rolled 1 20-sided die: 8
*OnlineHost* (3:11:01 AM): AndrewRogue rolled 1 20-sided die: 2
Adm H Sopko (3:11:04 AM): FUCK
AndrewRogue (3:11:18 AM): Yeah. She blew it. Although I didn't know I was bluffing <_<
SirAlextheFirst (3:12:26 AM): Scarlett just shakes his head again. "I've worked with Hunter, and watched him, for too many years to not know better. He lost his temper at Dela Rosa."
AndrewRogue (3:14:05 AM): *she's almost totally at a loss for words* "You're claiming Hunter lost his temper with Rosa? What about Rosa? The man slaughtered the eliminator squad! He would have killed Lea and her cats if he hadn't been sidetracked!"
SirAlextheFirst (3:15:02 AM): *shrug* "I never claimed he wasn't a scumbag."
AndrewRogue (3:16:10 AM): "Even if he hadn't lost his temper, what could he have done? The man... he's... he's obviously lost it."
AndrewRogue (3:16:26 AM): (*man=Rosa just in case that was too weird)
SirAlextheFirst (3:18:20 AM): "Tried to calm him down. Offer condolences on what happened to the kid. Most of all, offered to help him look for her. Or better yet, have us help look for her."
AndrewRogue (3:19:42 AM): "... ... ..." *she doesn't quite have a counter to that one*
Adm H Sopko (3:19:52 AM): (I did pretty much do that. "Dude, I fucked up. I won't try justifying my friend;s actions, can we please leave?")
AndrewRogue (3:20:22 AM): "Rosa... I don't think Rosa was in his right mind. Hunter wanted the situation to end. Rosa continued it."
MysteryGiIgamesh (3:21:55 AM): (Crap....I've got to go. It's late. Gotta be up early tomorrow. X_x)
MysteryGiIgamesh (3:21:55 AM): (Have a good night and sweet dreams, all.)
SirAlextheFirst (3:21:55 AM): Scarlett pushes his chair back. "Look, miss. I really don't have the time or the need to argue this out with you. Is there anything else you want?"
SirAlextheFirst (3:22:01 AM): (Good night)
AndrewRogue (3:22:04 AM): (Ah... sorry for taking up all this time Gil :p Night)
MysteryGiIgamesh (3:22:12 AM): (And have Jac ask Bandon if he can heal'em. >_>)
(3:22:23 AM) MysteryGiIgamesh has left the room.
AndrewRogue (3:23:01 AM): "A final thing I suppose. I didn't even think of this when we first talked, but what's the point in giving someone a packet and telling them not to open it?"
SirAlextheFirst (3:24:21 AM): He perks up, and smirks. "Open it now."
AndrewRogue (3:24:59 AM): *she raises an eyebrow at him as she extracts said object, and, well, opens it*
SirAlextheFirst (3:26:19 AM): There's a small box inside the paper.
SirAlextheFirst (3:26:30 AM): And some more wrapping paper inside the box.
SirAlextheFirst (3:26:43 AM): Then a tiny box inside that.
SirAlextheFirst (3:26:55 AM): Then some cotton fluff in the tiny box.
SirAlextheFirst (3:27:33 AM): And in the cotton fluff nestles a small ring, inlaid with a black pearl
AndrewRogue (3:28:02 AM): *lifts the ring up quite curiously and examines it*
Adm H Sopko (3:28:21 AM): (Will you marry me?!?!<G>)
AndrewRogue (3:28:30 AM): (*cries*)\
SirAlextheFirst (3:29:08 AM): "Like I thought." He waves at the ring. "It's yours. Put it on."
AndrewRogue (3:30:23 AM): "Mine?" *she slides the ring onto her right-hand ring finger and holds it up to look at it* "How can it be mine?"
SirAlextheFirst (3:31:15 AM): Scarlett just smiles, and you hear that voice in your head again. <Because I have given it to you, child. Wear it proudly.>
AndrewRogue (3:32:15 AM): *she looks noticeably startled to hear that voice again, and is set even further on edge but Scarlett* ~This is, from you?~
AndrewRogue (3:32:26 AM): *by Scarlett
SirAlextheFirst (3:33:02 AM): <Yes. It will protect you from harm.>
AndrewRogue (3:33:31 AM): ~I... I will wear your gift with pride.~
SirAlextheFirst (3:33:46 AM): <Thank you, Arianna.>
SirAlextheFirst (3:33:58 AM): (It's a Ring of Protection +2)
AndrewRogue (3:35:20 AM): (*notes it*) *she looks oddly at Scarlett for a moment, but opts to hold her tounge* "I... I believe that's all then Mister Scarlett. I... I'm sorry to have taken up so much of your time."
SirAlextheFirst (3:36:03 AM): He inclines his head. "Not a problem. Good day."
AndrewRogue (3:36:49 AM): "I hope your man recovers..." *she heads to the door and stops for a moment* "And tell Lea we said hello." *and she leaves*
SirAlextheFirst (3:38:52 AM): Whew.
Adm H Sopko (3:38:52 AM): To the library!<G>
SirAlextheFirst (3:38:58 AM): Indeed.
AndrewRogue (3:39:24 AM): (Well, she tried her best to defend Hunter :p)
Adm H Sopko (3:40:08 AM): (Did a decent job, I'd say...) So who gets there first? aria I'm guessing?
SirAlextheFirst (3:40:29 AM): Ah...
SirAlextheFirst (3:40:37 AM): Sure, I guess.
Adm H Sopko (3:40:57 AM): We're scrubbing floors till midday, Jac, Phil and I
SirAlextheFirst (3:41:38 AM): Yessirree.
SirAlextheFirst (3:42:25 AM): So Aria gets to the library.
SirAlextheFirst (3:43:18 AM): So....
AndrewRogue (3:43:18 AM): (Meh. She'll simply browse until Hunter and Co. show up. She's kind of preoccupied anyway.)
SirAlextheFirst (3:43:33 AM): Everyone else does, too, after they're done scrubbing floors.
Adm H Sopko (3:44:41 AM): ::Walks in, blowing on his hands a bit to ease the stinging:: "Yo, Aria."
AndrewRogue (3:45:20 AM): *looking up from some randomn title* "Hello Hunter... you okay?"
Adm H Sopko (3:46:24 AM): "Yeah... kinda worked my hands raw. Literally. A guy at the place needed help cleaning the floor, so we helped him. We have to go back tomorrow to sign up for the sessions though."
AndrewRogue (3:47:13 AM): "Cleaning floors? Really?" *she smiles* "That was nice of you Hunter."
Adm H Sopko (3:47:42 AM): ::Shrugs:: "Meh. Had nothing better to do... and the guy needed the help. Even Jac pitched in"
AndrewRogue (3:48:00 AM): "Now that... that's surprising." *chuckles a little*
Adm H Sopko (3:48:32 AM): ::Chuckles:: "Yeah. I can be secure that if I can't go back to the Yarovan, I can pick up a career as a janitor at least"
AndrewRogue (3:49:53 AM): *doesn't quite laugh so much at that one* "Ah... I gave Mister Scarlett the notebook and that powder we found... He ah... tried your badge trick on the book. It didn't do anything..."
Adm H Sopko (3:50:42 AM): "Really? Huh... surprised at that. He give it back to you then?"
AndrewRogue (3:51:16 AM): "Ah... no actually. I didn't even ask. I just assumed you wanted me to give it to him..."
Adm H Sopko (3:55:33 AM): ::Chuckles:: "That sly bastard... He's not the type to keep things that'd be useless to him. I assume he kept the powder too?"
AndrewRogue (3:55:48 AM): "Er... yes."
Adm H Sopko (3:56:54 AM): ::Sighs a bit:: "Damn... should've figured. Did he at least tell you anything?"
AndrewRogue (3:57:38 AM): "He... he said they've lost more eliminator squads. They had an injured man show up while I was waiting..."
Adm H Sopko (3:58:05 AM): "Wow... thats pretty surprising... any idea why?"
AndrewRogue (3:58:41 AM): *she sighs heavily* "Rosa and Marion."
SirAlextheFirst (3:58:57 AM): And, are y'all going to research anything while you're here?
Adm H Sopko (3:59:22 AM): (Yes. Just talking for a bit)
AndrewRogue (3:59:29 AM): (Yep)
Adm H Sopko (3:59:51 AM): ::He nods solemnly:: "Right... should've figured that one..."
AndrewRogue (4:00:39 AM): "Apparently they've been showing up at different storehouse... things."
Adm H Sopko (4:01:36 AM): "How are they being in so many different places at once? Could they have used the wierd dimensional thing to do it?"
AndrewRogue (4:02:19 AM): "I have no idea... That was... that was basically all he told me."
Adm H Sopko (4:03:06 AM): "Okay... thanks for doing that, Aria. I had to have someone bring that in. It was technically theirs anyway. Cept maybe the powder..."
AndrewRogue (4:03:44 AM): "I... I'm sorry. I thought that since we found it in the complex that it was theres..."
Adm H Sopko (4:04:48 AM): ::Shrugs:: "Can't be helped now. Don't worry about it. I'd almost forgotten you'd taken it anyhow. Now... lets get back to research shall we?" ::He forces a smile:;
AndrewRogue (4:05:10 AM): *nodding* "Right. Of course."
AndrewRogue (4:06:27 AM): (And we'll research some more. If we work together on the same materials, can we manage some bonuses to our checks?)
Adm H Sopko (4:06:41 AM): ::Hunter goes off, grapping the incident reports he was looking at yesterday along with the books on Religion Aria recommended yesterday, cross-referencing the sleeping girl they cultists worship and anything else. He
Adm H Sopko (4:06:50 AM): also takes a book on beginner's strategy and tactics::
SirAlextheFirst (4:07:06 AM): (Yes)
AndrewRogue (4:07:50 AM): (Then Aria will pitch in and look over the same materials as Hunter.)
Adm H Sopko (4:07:51 AM): ::Works with her on the former, reads the strategy book on his own::
AndrewRogue (4:08:04 AM): (Excepting the Strat book :p)
Adm H Sopko (4:08:23 AM): (If she wants to she can do so<G>)
SirAlextheFirst (4:09:06 AM): Ookay...
SirAlextheFirst (4:09:14 AM): Which one first?
Adm H Sopko (4:09:23 AM): The cross-referencing
AndrewRogue (4:11:14 AM): *pitches in on cross-referencing*
Adm H Sopko (4:11:50 AM): Roll what? Int check? Whats the bonus on working together?
SirAlextheFirst (4:13:11 AM): Hm.
SirAlextheFirst (4:13:21 AM): I'm trying to decide how to handle this.
SirAlextheFirst (4:13:45 AM): Yeah, int checks for both of you.

*OnlineHost* (4:14:39 AM): Adm H Sopko rolled 1 20-sided die: 12
Adm H Sopko (4:14:39 AM): 13
SirAlextheFirst (4:14:59 AM): You learn nothing particularly new.
SirAlextheFirst (4:15:19 AM): None of the incident reports mention anything about a sleeping girl or cultists.
Adm H Sopko (4:16:24 AM): ... I took the same ones I got yesterday
SirAlextheFirst (4:16:45 AM): Unless I'm very confused.
SirAlextheFirst (4:16:49 AM): Which I think I am.
Adm H Sopko (4:17:23 AM): SirAlextheFirst: It seems that they almost always construct underground communities to live in, and worship a dreaming woman. It's speculated that they mean Gaea.
SirAlextheFirst (4:17:59 AM): Right.
SirAlextheFirst (4:19:00 AM): So... I'm sorry. I'm very confused.
Adm H Sopko (4:19:05 AM): No prob
SirAlextheFirst (4:19:05 AM): What ARE you looking for?
Adm H Sopko (4:19:47 AM): Using what Aria learned yesterday about religion, and trying to tie it into this about the cults to form some kind of base of explanation
SirAlextheFirst (4:21:11 AM): No such magical explanation is forthcoming.
SirAlextheFirst (4:21:20 AM): As I said, the books all say many different things.
AndrewRogue (4:21:38 AM): (Blast :p)
SirAlextheFirst (4:22:22 AM): If you believe that Gaea is sleeping, and not dead or gone or whatever, then it could be that she's appearing as a little girl, and the cultists are worshipping her.
SirAlextheFirst (4:22:22 AM): Few people will agree, but you could believe that.
Adm H Sopko (4:23:09 AM): Can I also go and get a few books on legends, looking for sleeping girls or such in there as well?
Adm H Sopko (4:23:42 AM): All I know is someones watched too much .hack//sign
AndrewRogue (4:23:53 AM): (lol)
SirAlextheFirst (4:24:08 AM): Hah.
SirAlextheFirst (4:24:13 AM): Didn't even make that connection.
SirAlextheFirst (4:24:21 AM): Sure, sure.
Adm H Sopko (4:24:37 AM): Roll again or still applies?
SirAlextheFirst (4:24:42 AM): Most of the legends about sleeping girls are about Gaea. Most of them are pretty boring, too.
Adm H Sopko (4:25:04 AM): Most... what about the ones that aren't?
SirAlextheFirst (4:25:11 AM): She's either asleep, not asleep or dead (in which case you're not interested).
SirAlextheFirst (4:26:24 AM): The only interesting common threads you can find are the theories that Gaea went to sleep against her will and is trying to dream her way back awake....
SirAlextheFirst (4:26:44 AM): Or that she's sleeping to help Nellix restore power over fate.
AndrewRogue (4:28:02 AM): (Hmm... so in other words, we don't seem to be getting too far with these books ^_^)
Adm H Sopko (4:28:20 AM): But I guess we can't figure out why the cultists are raising the Hummers if it's the second case
SirAlextheFirst (4:28:43 AM): Yeah, pretty much.
SirAlextheFirst (4:28:50 AM): No startling revelation can be found.
Adm H Sopko (4:29:07 AM): I guess we can do the Strategy book rolls now
SirAlextheFirst (4:29:55 AM): If you've got specific questions about the legends or religion, go right ahead and ask/research them...
Adm H Sopko (4:31:36 AM): The biggest question I have is if it's the latter, why would the cultists raise the Hummers, or why Nellix would create the Huntes
SirAlextheFirst (4:32:33 AM): Ah, well.. to those, there is no good answer.
AndrewRogue (4:32:48 AM): Hmm... perhaps the Hummers are to strike at this sleeping girl (Gaea?) and the Hunters to defend her?
AndrewRogue (4:33:09 AM): </brainstorm for the night>
Adm H Sopko (4:33:48 AM): Didn't the notebook say they had a girl or something?
AndrewRogue (4:34:06 AM): It did. An injured gal.
Adm H Sopko (4:34:34 AM): And the Yarovan were coming to pick her up... wasn't Marion, obviously
AndrewRogue (4:35:29 AM): So who's to say that this girl isn't a land bound/avatar of Gaea? The cultists could want to harnass her powers over dreams, while Nellix wants to stop it.
Adm H Sopko (4:35:46 AM): That could be true.
AndrewRogue (4:36:09 AM): But... where does Lauren fit in?
Adm H Sopko (4:36:14 AM): But also, how did Marion corrupt the HUNTERs then?
Adm H Sopko (4:36:51 AM): The girl had her memory erased. She obvious used to know something important
AndrewRogue (4:37:16 AM): The key, of course, is what :p
Adm H Sopko (4:37:38 AM): Never did get to show the picture to Mr. Scarlett<G>
AndrewRogue (4:38:21 AM): Well... I wouldn't give it to Aria, lest the bastard outwit her again :p
Adm H Sopko (4:38:55 AM): The notebook not working for him could also mean that it's a higher security level than even him
SirAlextheFirst (4:39:19 AM): Or it could just not be encoded.
Adm H Sopko (4:39:32 AM): True... but then why the traps?
(4:39:41 AM) Sarcazmo47 has left the room.
AndrewRogue (4:39:59 AM): For people silly enough to examine the book?
Adm H Sopko (4:40:07 AM): the traps only work if someone tries to make sense of the gibberish
AndrewRogue (4:40:27 AM): Which any half-way logical person would try to.
Adm H Sopko (4:40:28 AM): Why not trap the poem? Or the giant's speak?
AndrewRogue (4:41:07 AM): But, you do have a point there. Why the gibberish pages alone...
Adm H Sopko (4:41:48 AM): How was it structered again? Giant- Gibberish- poem - more gibberish?
SirAlextheFirst (4:42:07 AM): Yes.
SirAlextheFirst (4:42:19 AM): And then some blank pages at the end.
Adm H Sopko (4:42:49 AM): It has to be that code for Scarlett to keep it
Adm H Sopko (4:43:06 AM): Or at least there is SOMETHING in there, and about the powder as well
AndrewRogue (4:43:43 AM): Character wise, you're sure he wouldn't just keep them?
Adm H Sopko (4:44:57 AM): I dunno. I only know as much as Alex's played him
Adm H Sopko (4:45:07 AM): Doesn't seem the type to keep useless things
SirAlextheFirst (4:45:22 AM): Indeed he is not.
SirAlextheFirst (4:45:42 AM): The only useless thing that Mr. Scarlett cares about deeply is his family. And even they aren't useless.
AndrewRogue (4:45:59 AM): Point. Secondary point- What's the correlation between Aria's friend and Scarlett.
AndrewRogue (4:46:01 AM): ?
Adm H Sopko (4:46:52 AM): Who knows? The Yarovan could be in league with them.
AndrewRogue (4:48:19 AM): Well then, I'd say we
SirAlextheFirst (4:48:36 AM): I'd say we too.
SirAlextheFirst (4:48:38 AM): We!
AndrewRogue (4:48:43 AM): 're basically done actually RP wise for tonight? <_<
SirAlextheFirst (4:48:49 AM): More or less...
AndrewRogue (4:48:51 AM): Missed the correct key :p
SirAlextheFirst (4:48:56 AM): Sorry about having to run off like that...
Adm H Sopko (4:49:04 AM): Roll the stuff for thw strategy books first...
SirAlextheFirst (4:49:10 AM): Yes indeed.
AndrewRogue (4:49:11 AM): No problem. School stugg is more important :p

AndrewRogue (4:49:30 AM): 16
SirAlextheFirst (4:49:37 AM): Wow. The same again.
Adm H Sopko (4:49:41 AM): We did it again!
SirAlextheFirst (4:49:49 AM): You manage to pick up a few new tips.'
Adm H Sopko (4:50:00 AM): Yay!
SirAlextheFirst (4:50:06 AM): Like, stone statues are generally immune to fire, and very resistant to arrows.
AndrewRogue (4:50:11 AM): :p
SirAlextheFirst (4:50:29 AM): And all pointy and slicey things.
Adm H Sopko (4:50:29 AM): Those basic things are key
Adm H Sopko (4:50:44 AM): And that they're weak to blugeoning hopefully?G>
AndrewRogue (4:50:47 AM): Basics = Good
SirAlextheFirst (4:50:58 AM): Also, when in a fight against forces stronger than you, divide and conquer.
SirAlextheFirst (4:51:25 AM): Also, when retreating, retreat to safer, more defendable closed spaces, instead of open spaces with enemies around you.
AndrewRogue (4:51:54 AM): *coughs at that one*
Adm H Sopko (4:52:54 AM): Works for me
SirAlextheFirst (4:53:14 AM): That is all.
AndrewRogue (4:53:19 AM): Hopefully our friends the Asgards will have useful info like that to share. </seriousness>
SirAlextheFirst (4:53:33 AM): XP - 500
Adm H Sopko (4:54:02 AM): 1250 to go!
AndrewRogue (4:54:36 AM): Ah... some-odd to go. Anyway, I need to head out. Bed, good.
Adm H Sopko (4:54:43 AM): Later
SirAlextheFirst (4:54:44 AM): Good night if you're goin
AndrewRogue (4:54:49 AM): Night
SirAlextheFirst (4:54:55 AM): OOC questions and comments always welcome.
(4:54:55 AM) AndrewRogue has left the room.
Adm H Sopko (4:55:09 AM): Not bad. The thinking element has been introduced,G>
SirAlextheFirst (4:55:17 AM): Yes, yes it has.
SirAlextheFirst (4:55:27 AM): Jacynth would get more plot if he stuck around more often.
Adm H Sopko (4:55:27 AM): So what was the powder?
SirAlextheFirst (4:55:51 AM): A trade good.
SirAlextheFirst (4:56:02 AM): One which Mr. Scarlett will now make a nice profit off of.
Adm H Sopko (4:56:38 AM): I could've made a roll to determine the stuff then... damnit
SirAlextheFirst (4:56:58 AM): No. You've never seen it before.
SirAlextheFirst (4:57:02 AM): You could have tried some.
Adm H Sopko (4:57:07 AM): Ah. Drugs/
SirAlextheFirst (4:57:17 AM): That would have told you what it was.
Adm H Sopko (4:57:33 AM): Cause drugs would be the Goom's market...<G>
SirAlextheFirst (4:58:12 AM): Did I say drugs?
Adm H Sopko (4:59:26 AM): Nope. Just adding a bit of background/ Each of the three specializes in handling a specific aspect. Gooms: medicine (also drugs, for obvious reasons), Yardalions: Weapons and armor, Yarovan: Commodities
Adm H Sopko (5:00:15 AM): Not to say they don't also trade those things, but it's what they specialize in
Adm H Sopko (5:00:22 AM): But hmm...
Adm H Sopko (5:01:24 AM): No other questions than what the powder was
SirAlextheFirst (5:02:04 AM): Try some of it.
SirAlextheFirst (5:02:09 AM): Go ahead.
Adm H Sopko (5:02:09 AM): I don't have any
SirAlextheFirst (5:02:12 AM): Heh.
Adm H Sopko (5:02:37 AM): Totally ooc... ::Tries some::
SirAlextheFirst (5:03:00 AM): Fort save.

Adm H Sopko (5:03:17 AM): 18
SirAlextheFirst (5:03:31 AM): You feel weak for a moment, but nothing else happens.
Adm H Sopko (5:03:57 AM): Thats it?
Adm H Sopko (5:04:20 AM): some kinda poison?
Adm H Sopko (5:04:41 AM): Viagra maybe?<G>
SirAlextheFirst (5:04:41 AM): More or less.
SirAlextheFirst (5:04:47 AM): Pfft.
Adm H Sopko (5:04:53 AM): Iocane powder!!!!
Adm H Sopko (5:05:22 AM): He put it in both cups, d00d

Adm H Sopko (5:06:16 AM): Thats all for tonight.
SirAlextheFirst (5:06:17 AM): Heh...
Adm H Sopko (5:06:20 AM): ::Logs::
SirAlextheFirst (5:06:27 AM): No mythology questions, huh
Adm H Sopko (5:06:44 AM): We put forth a whole bunch of possibilities
Adm H Sopko (5:09:37 AM): But nothing specific, unless you give me a few leads next time
SirAlextheFirst (5:10:15 AM): None of those questions can be answered by me IC.
Adm H Sopko (5:10:17 AM): i'll be lookin in books about monsters for Hummers, HUNTERs and Dracoroaches next time<G>
SirAlextheFirst (5:11:13 AM): Hehe.
Adm H Sopko (5:11:14 AM): Yep. So don't worry about it. Thats all for me tonight. and interesting fact. All criticals, Hunter can do a max of 70 damage per round
SirAlextheFirst (5:12:28 AM): Indeed!
