Adm H Sopko (10:36:32 PM): Ypo

(10:36:34 PM) yummeiness has entered the room.

Sarcazmo47 (10:36:40 PM): Yes, you heard correctly. There will indeed be a pie-smiting contest.

MysteryGiIgamesh (10:36:43 PM): Hello.

SirAlexTheFirst (10:36:44 PM): And an eerie silence falls.

MysteryGiIgamesh (10:36:45 PM): Smiting?

SirAlexTheFirst (10:36:46 PM): Or not.

SirAlexTheFirst (10:36:49 PM): What the?

AndrewRogue (10:36:50 PM): YAY!

MysteryGiIgamesh (10:36:53 PM): OH GOD, NOT THE PIE!

MysteryGiIgamesh (10:36:58 PM): HOW DARE YOU WASTE GOOD PIE!

Sarcazmo47 (10:37:13 PM): It's for a pie-smiting contest. It's not a waste.

MysteryGiIgamesh (10:37:14 PM): *goes SSJFatty 4* RAAGH! BULK GNASH!

yummeiness (10:37:26 PM): No no! We need to have a Pie-wrestling contest.

yummeiness (10:37:32 PM): Like mud wrestling only with pie

Adm H Sopko (10:37:38 PM): Pie smiting!

MysteryGiIgamesh (10:38:07 PM): If it was chocolate pie, it'd still be like mud wrestling.

Adm H Sopko (10:38:11 PM): The prize? A Gallager's Mallet (A +5 Warhammer of Food Smiting)

MysteryGiIgamesh (10:38:46 PM): Watermelon Bane Mallet!

MysteryGiIgamesh (10:40:27 PM): I killed the chat.

MysteryGiIgamesh (10:40:30 PM): Boo. ;_;

Adm H Sopko (10:40:32 PM): Heh

AndrewRogue (10:41:23 PM): On a totally randomn note, just to make myself feel better, LEZARD IS A BASTARD WITH A CRAPPY TOWER! *breathes*

MysteryGiIgamesh (10:41:29 PM): XD

(10:41:44 PM) ForceJedi2001 has entered the room.

AndrewRogue (10:42:15 PM): ...Gawd, fourth try I was smart enough to give Lenneth a bow and let Yummei and her whup his sorry wizard ass instead of going through the Dragon-tooth warriors first.

Adm H Sopko (10:43:59 PM): I had a Red Mage (Victoria, my GF), and Blue Mage (Rei), so I needed a Green one

MysteryGiIgamesh (10:44:10 PM): XD

AndrewRogue (10:44:12 PM): Whoah! Its Force! He's alive~!

MysteryGiIgamesh (10:44:16 PM): Should have made her a healer then, hehe.

MysteryGiIgamesh (10:44:25 PM): Since Pally's heal, at least.

Adm H Sopko (10:44:39 PM): Are Nekomata different than the Kits?

ForceJedi2001 (10:44:42 PM): I have My main a Ninja at level 9,999<G>

MysteryGiIgamesh (10:44:53 PM): ...How does anything hit him? o_O

AndrewRogue (10:44:56 PM): Kits are the lowest Nekomatas

MysteryGiIgamesh (10:45:01 PM): Since Ninja can dodge even your healing magic. XD

yummeiness (10:45:03 PM): mmm i love old navy *huggle ON*

Adm H Sopko (10:45:10 PM): Drake: My friend has his characters at total level 67k+

ForceJedi2001 (10:45:18 PM): Nothing hits him<G> and he needs no healing at that point;-)

ForceJedi2001 (10:45:31 PM): Highest is 9,999 Sopko

AndrewRogue (10:45:37 PM): ...well, he has a point there <_<

Adm H Sopko (10:45:41 PM): I know. Retransmigration

AndrewRogue (10:45:57 PM): Be riiight back.

ForceJedi2001 (10:46:46 PM): And I know how to level up 100 levels in five minutes<G>

MysteryGiIgamesh (10:46:51 PM): Yes.

AndrewRogue (10:47:33 PM): Pie!

yummeiness (10:47:43 PM): panic attack BRB

AndrewRogue (10:47:51 PM): ... O_o

MysteryGiIgamesh (10:47:59 PM): And, just a small comment.

MysteryGiIgamesh (10:48:12 PM): Zone of the Enders: FIst of Mars r0xx0rz for a little GBA title.

MysteryGiIgamesh (10:48:16 PM): *Fist

Sarcazmo47 (10:48:22 PM): Anyway. GAME!

SirAlexTheFirst (10:48:24 PM): Okay then.

Sarcazmo47 (10:48:34 PM): Our intrepid heroes were.....eating fudge.

(10:48:44 PM) Chromeus18 has entered the room.

MysteryGiIgamesh (10:48:54 PM): (Mmm...Fudge.)

AndrewRogue (10:49:01 PM): (Yummy ^_^)

yummeiness (10:49:03 PM): (OMG WHERE THE FUCK IS MY CREDIT CARD!!!???)

MysteryGiIgamesh (10:49:12 PM): *he munches almost wordlessly upon the fudge* (...Oh shit?)

SirAlexTheFirst (10:49:13 PM): So, to recap.

Chromeus18 (10:49:17 PM): mmm caffeine

SirAlexTheFirst (10:49:56 PM): After spending several days puttering around Asgard and finding out stuff, the party has caught wind of a town called Begres, whose inhabitants have all vanished.

SirAlexTheFirst (10:50:11 PM): So that's where everyone is headed.

yummeiness (10:50:19 PM): (whew found it >.> was right under my keyboard X.x)

SirAlexTheFirst (10:50:31 PM): On the way, however, they're making a short stop in the city of Gelendar, in which reside Aria's parents.

SirAlexTheFirst (10:50:43 PM): And here they are.

Chromeus18 (10:50:44 PM): hi ho, hi ho, it's off to Begres we go

AndrewRogue (10:51:24 PM): *finally opts to satisfy her sweet tooth, now that everyone else is served, and snags a piece of fudge*

SirAlexTheFirst (10:51:47 PM): Miss Jess, Aria's mother, hands out more fudge to everyone, then looks at y'all expectantly. "So, darling, tell us some of your stories from adventuring!"

Chromeus18 (10:52:43 PM): *passes on the fudge*

AndrewRogue (10:53:16 PM): "Ah... there hasn't been that much to talk about lately..." *she looks deep in thought, trying to come up with a story that doesn't involve her, ya know, dying or being horribly mauled*

MysteryGiIgamesh (10:53:41 PM): *munches fudge, mmmmmmm, fuuuuuuuuuuuudge, first time Jac's ever had it*

Adm H Sopko (10:54:09 PM): ::Also tries to think of stories, of the past, to think of, as the stories to tell of while Aria's been in the party haven't been that good::

yummeiness (10:54:22 PM): ADora eats enough to get rather sick off of it and looks a bit nauseous from the ammount she has sucked down

Adm H Sopko (10:54:50 PM): ::Knows his fudge limit, as he's had it many times before::

AndrewRogue (10:55:27 PM): "Ah... I know! It must have been just a few weeks back. We were looking for some information and we found out that a wizard... ah... a Mister Kirk Voegtlin might have it."

Chromeus18 (10:55:45 PM): *probably had his sweet tooth knocked out by the Marquis's guards*

MysteryGiIgamesh (10:55:51 PM): *he simply gives her an odd look at the gorging of fudge*

yummeiness (10:56:16 PM): Has the joyous look of a kid who has had a bit too much fudge, on the verge of a sugar rush.

SirAlexTheFirst (10:56:39 PM): Jess and Tarin listen raptly to Aria's story.

AndrewRogue (10:57:00 PM): ~And please... don't mention anything that would... upset them... (to the group)~ "It turns out something happened to him and he... wasn't quite right in the head."

MysteryGiIgamesh (10:58:25 PM): *he just smiles at her*

AndrewRogue (10:58:46 PM): "He was under the personal care of King Ethen Heolstrom himself. We went to the castle to see if we could meet with him and we found him playing a game of some sort with King Heolstrom himself!"

SirAlexTheFirst (10:59:32 PM): The parents get a look like =-O

AndrewRogue (11:00:36 PM): *she grins* "I... didn't understand it, but the King himself has us accompany him back to his personal chamber, where he'd been playing checkers with Mister Voegtlin. It was... really really surprising to say the least."

SirAlexTheFirst (11:01:03 PM): "Wow! What did he say to you?"

AndrewRogue (11:01:28 PM): "He asked us for help with the game." *and she can't help but giggle a touch*

AndrewRogue (11:02:49 PM): "It was really quite funny to think about. He couldn't beat Mister Voegtlin. There was another man with us... Bandon, who helped him devise a... ah... new strategy to win. It was really quite strange to think about, that the...

AndrewRogue (11:03:23 PM): King would be so occupied with a mundane task. He's really quite a strange man to be honest."

AndrewRogue (11:03:53 PM): (wow, I suck, managaing to repeat the same phrase like that. >_<)

AndrewRogue (11:04:54 PM): "However... aside from that... we've been on a sort of hiatus lately. Until we heard about Berges."

ForceJedi2001 (11:05:00 PM): *leans back against the wall over Hunters right shoulder and eyes the parents from underneath his green hood*

SirAlexTheFirst (11:06:05 PM): Jess and Tarin are gasping in awe.

SirAlexTheFirst (11:06:26 PM): "You met the King of Asgard himself? Oh, honey!" Jess hugs Aria.

Chromeus18 (11:06:37 PM): if they crap their pants in excitement, i'm leaving

SirAlexTheFirst (11:06:40 PM): Tarin blinks a few times. "Wow. What else have you been doing?"

AndrewRogue (11:07:01 PM): *returns the hug, rather tightly*

Adm H Sopko (11:07:10 PM): ::Chuckles internally at how Aria is explaining everything:: ~Of course. But... thats about the cleanest story you can tell... the rest of the stuff you've been here for.. Maybe meeting Throkk?~

AndrewRogue (11:08:03 PM): ~...look at how excited they are about me meeting King Heolstrom. Could you imagine the reaction if I said that I meet Throkk?~

AndrewRogue (11:08:49 PM): *met

Adm H Sopko (11:08:50 PM): ~Think about the other things we've done. It's about the only thing we can say~

Chromeus18 (11:09:09 PM): (they'd crap their pants in excitement, and i'd be forced to leave :P

yummeiness (11:09:24 PM): (So........ we got the circlets back?)

MysteryGiIgamesh (11:09:42 PM): (Aye.)

AndrewRogue (11:09:45 PM): (We have some, yes. Aria however, can do it naturally now.)

ForceJedi2001 (11:10:10 PM): ( I can't*cries*)

AndrewRogue (11:10:32 PM): "Oh! A priest at the Temple of Gabriel gave us the neatest little thing!" *she grins* "Hunter, could you hand me your circlet for a second?"

Adm H Sopko (11:10:50 PM): "Heh. Sure." ::Takes his off, handing it to her::

AndrewRogue (11:11:29 PM): *places it carefully on her head* "It lets you communicate silently with others who have one..." ~See?~

AndrewRogue (11:11:46 PM): *and those nearby

SirAlexTheFirst (11:12:35 PM): Is that <See?> to your parents as well?

AndrewRogue (11:12:47 PM): At them actually

AndrewRogue (11:13:37 PM): (You know, the picture of all of us, crowded in Aria's living room, is really, really silly ^_^)

(11:13:37 PM) Adm H Sopko has left the room.

MysteryGiIgamesh (11:13:47 PM): (But it's cool.)

SirAlexTheFirst (11:14:01 PM): Roll me a Spot check, Aria.

*OnlineHost* (11:14:11 PM): AndrewRogue rolled 1 20-sided die: 1

AndrewRogue (11:14:23 PM): -13! Ho-fucking-way!

MysteryGiIgamesh (11:14:26 PM): (...XD)

Chromeus18 (11:14:27 PM): o nos

SirAlexTheFirst (11:14:27 PM): Your parents jump up in astonisment.

(11:14:37 PM) Adm H Sopko has entered the room.

Adm H Sopko (11:14:47 PM): (Bah... shitty AIM. I miss anything?)

AndrewRogue (11:14:52 PM): (That's the way to start the evening. Natural 1!)

yummeiness (11:14:55 PM): (I think we should just. leave now)

AndrewRogue (11:15:44 PM): "Isn't it just..." ~the neatest little thing?~ "Magic can do some amazing things."

SirAlexTheFirst (11:16:03 PM): Tarin nods deeply. "That it can, Aria. That it can."

AndrewRogue (11:16:49 PM): *she hands the circlet back to Hunter* "Thank you."

Adm H Sopko (11:17:50 PM): ::Smiles and puts it back on his head:: "No problem"

AndrewRogue (11:19:38 PM): "So, how have two been since I left?" *she smiles... but it almost looks like her attention is focused elsewhere*

SirAlexTheFirst (11:20:11 PM): They look at each other.

SirAlexTheFirst (11:20:22 PM): "We've been... er..." Tarin shrugs.

SirAlexTheFirst (11:21:29 PM): Jess fills in, "We've been worried about you, darling."

SirAlexTheFirst (11:21:32 PM): "Jess!"

SirAlexTheFirst (11:22:01 PM): "Well, we have been." She looks at her husband sharply. "We've spent a lot of time trying to find out where you were and who you were with."

AndrewRogue (11:22:39 PM): *looks a bit, quizzical* "Ah... were you really that worried about me? I... I'm sorry. I should have written back more often..."

SirAlexTheFirst (11:24:20 PM): Neither of them says anything.

Adm H Sopko (11:25:45 PM): ::Hides a look of concern for Aria::

AndrewRogue (11:25:54 PM): "You don't need to worry though. Everyone here, we're all close and we'd do anything for each other. Hunter, Jerriford, Jacynth, Adora, Bandon, Mister Philanthus, Nas..." *she stops awkwardly on that one*

MysteryGiIgamesh (11:26:20 PM): *he nods* "The Maiden is...........Correct."

SirAlexTheFirst (11:26:27 PM): "But where is Bandon?"

AndrewRogue (11:27:07 PM): "He... was having some personal problems before we left..." *she sighs* "He said he needed some time alone and would meet us here in Gelendar."

AndrewRogue (11:27:57 PM): *she turns the teenies bit red at the memory of this morning*

AndrewRogue (11:28:02 PM): *teeniest

AndrewRogue (11:29:35 PM): "I'm sure he'll turn up soon though. He is really quite... surprising."

*OnlineHost* (11:29:45 PM): SirAlexTheFirst rolled 1 20-sided die: 9

SirAlexTheFirst (11:30:04 PM): Tarin looks at Aria closely. "Now, why is my little angel blushing like that?"

Chromeus18 (11:30:07 PM): gotta love announced rolls

AndrewRogue (11:30:58 PM): "Ah! I'm blushing?" *ah, a tried and true meanuver. Deny the obvious.*

*OnlineHost* (11:31:08 PM): SirAlexTheFirst rolled 1 20-sided die: 1

AndrewRogue (11:31:31 PM): (Dude, Arianna's parents roll as well as her ^_~)

(11:31:31 PM) Adm H Sopko has left the room.

SirAlexTheFirst (11:31:49 PM): Tarin laughs. "Sorry, didn't mean to embaress you." He then looks at the rest of the group. "Thank you all, for taking care of her. We appreciate it."

yummeiness (11:31:59 PM): (Must be hereditary)

(11:32:45 PM) Adm H Sopko has entered the room.

Adm H Sopko (11:32:55 PM): (Gah... I dunno whats with that)

Chromeus18 (11:32:58 PM): "Tis our pleasure sir."

Adm H Sopko (11:33:09 PM): (IM me what I missed)

SirAlexTheFirst (11:33:30 PM): SirAlexTheFirst (11:31:49 PM): Tarin laughs. "Sorry, didn't mean to embaress you." He then looks at the rest of the group. "Thank you all, for taking care of her. We appreciate it."

Chromeus18 (11:33:51 PM): yeah, what he posted :P

Adm H Sopko (11:34:12 PM): :Smiles:: "No problem, Sir."

AndrewRogue (11:35:00 PM): *she snags another piece of fudge.*

Adm H Sopko (11:35:57 PM): (Nothing like watching FLCL with stereo surround sound hooked to a massive subwoofer)

AndrewRogue (11:36:18 PM): "They really are great people." *she smiles* "And it was so great to see the two of you again. I've been... homesick lately." (Ahh. I wanna watch FLCL -_-)

AndrewRogue (11:37:15 PM): *she moves over and grabs 'em both in a tight hug, tears gathering at the corner of her eyes*

Adm H Sopko (11:37:28 PM): Grapple check!<G>

Chromeus18 (11:38:27 PM): (*Aria's armor spikes impale and kill her parents. woe is her!*)

AndrewRogue (11:39:08 PM): (...XD)

MysteryGiIgamesh (11:39:22 PM): (XD)

SirAlexTheFirst (11:39:27 PM): Heh.

AndrewRogue (11:40:09 PM): (Now this is the part where the monster busts in and kills 'em both, right?)

SirAlexTheFirst (11:40:33 PM): No. They just cry and hug you.

SirAlexTheFirst (11:40:54 PM): Forgive my lag. I've got another session going at the same time.

Chromeus18 (11:41:38 PM): (Alex multitasks like windows :P)

Chromeus18 (11:41:50 PM): what time of day is it right now?

AndrewRogue (11:42:04 PM): (No problem :p) *she'll step back after a long moment, wiping her eyes embarassedly* "Thank you... but I'm pretty sure we need to get going for a little bit, see what kind of news we can find. I'll... I'll be sure to stop by

AndrewRogue (11:42:19 PM): a bit later. At the very least before we leave."

SirAlexTheFirst (11:43:03 PM): About noontime

SirAlexTheFirst (11:44:14 PM): Jess smiles. "Thank you, darling."

AndrewRogue (11:45:02 PM): "And please... be careful? I've heard some strange things are happening in the country."

SirAlexTheFirst (11:45:55 PM): They nod.

AndrewRogue (11:46:51 PM): "Are... are you ready to go Hunter?"

Adm H Sopko (11:47:43 PM): ::Finishes the piece of fudge he was eating and nods:: "Just about." ::Looks to the others:: "How about you guys?"

Chromeus18 (11:48:15 PM): "Ready when you are, lads."

yummeiness (11:48:25 PM): She nods finishing another peice of fudge, her eyes wide, as if on a sugar high. "yes! whenever you are hunter!"

MysteryGiIgamesh (11:49:39 PM): ".....I am.......Quite ready......."

ForceJedi2001 (11:49:46 PM): *stands up from leaning and nods to hunter*

SirAlexTheFirst (11:49:51 PM): "When will you be back, then?"

Adm H Sopko (11:50:37 PM): "Okay then, we'll be off then" ::Stands and steps over to her parents once again, offering his hand to shake:: "It's been nice meeting you. I promise we'll keep looking after your daughter."

AndrewRogue (11:52:08 PM): (Sorry, had to help my little sister) "I'll be sure to come back by this evening."

SirAlexTheFirst (11:52:51 PM): They shake Hunter's hand.

SirAlexTheFirst (11:53:15 PM): "Come back anytime, please! And, Aria... write more letters." Jess winks at her.

MysteryGiIgamesh (11:53:22 PM): *he nods* "It was.........Nice meeting you..........As well......"

AndrewRogue (11:53:26 PM): "Of course!"

(11:54:32 PM) yummeiness has left the room.

AndrewRogue (11:54:46 PM): (And, we leave?)

SirAlexTheFirst (11:54:59 PM): I assume so. To where?

Adm H Sopko (11:55:09 PM): Shopping!

SirAlexTheFirst (11:55:23 PM): Oh lord.

AndrewRogue (11:55:28 PM): (Yay, let's go let Aria buy more illegal things!)

Chromeus18 (11:55:30 PM): whee! time to find a dwarven thong

AndrewRogue (11:55:45 PM): (...and let's gouge out my eyes before that happens)

(11:56:19 PM) coughingpuppy has entered the room.

AndrewRogue (11:56:41 PM): (Anywaaaay, what are we shopping for Hunter?)

SirAlexTheFirst (11:56:56 PM): Yes, what ARE you shopping for?

Adm H Sopko (11:57:05 PM): (The various strategic items that were banned in Asgard... Thunderstones, Tanglefoot Bags, etc)

Chromeus18 (11:58:26 PM): i don't think Jerry's been re-equipped yet either

AndrewRogue (11:58:48 PM): (So, stuff for Jerri and the aforementioned strategy items!)

Sarcazmo47 (11:59:06 PM): How about some good old alchemist's fire?

SirAlexTheFirst (11:59:29 PM): Tell me what you need

Adm H Sopko (11:59:36 PM): (Full list: Tanglefoot Bags, Acid Flasks, Alchemist Fire, Smokesticks, Thunderstones)

SirAlexTheFirst (11:59:44 PM): Gelendar's got a nice large selection of shops.

Chromeus18 (11:59:56 PM): long sword, scale mail, and large steel shield for Jerry

Adm H Sopko (12:00:18 AM): 2 of each for me would be good

ForceJedi2001 (12:00:19 AM): ( Rx7 anti-Tank_Rifle with Depleted uranium shells, and god sleeves, <G>)

AndrewRogue (12:00:35 AM): (XD)

SirAlexTheFirst (12:01:49 AM): Acid flasks, $25 each.

SirAlexTheFirst (12:02:01 AM): Alchemist's Fire, $25

AndrewRogue (12:02:02 AM): (...yar, I assume Aria's paying for this guys?)

MysteryGiIgamesh (12:03:15 AM): )(Up to you. I've got a bit of cash.)

MysteryGiIgamesh (12:03:19 AM): (But not much.)

Adm H Sopko (12:03:24 AM): (Smokesticks?)

SirAlexTheFirst (12:03:34 AM): Jerry's equipment there.... I'll round it off at $500.

Chromeus18 (12:03:36 AM): *is broke*

(12:03:38 AM) Adm H Sopko has left the room.

AndrewRogue (12:03:55 AM): (Meh, I don't mind. You've got $8,450 to spend. Total it up and I'll pay ^_~)

SirAlexTheFirst (12:04:09 AM): Smokesticks? Also $25.

(12:04:18 AM) Adm H Sopko has entered the room.

AndrewRogue (12:04:42 AM): (Smokesticks are $25 Soppy)

AndrewRogue (12:05:06 AM): (Drake, you looking for anything? You're too quiet :p)

Adm H Sopko (12:05:56 AM): (2 of each should be good)

ForceJedi2001 (12:06:27 AM): ( unless you want to buy me full-plate, UI'm good<G>)

AndrewRogue (12:06:51 AM): (sooo... grand total of $1050.00. And, if you want it, pick it up while Aria has cash ^_^ You want fries with that?)

ForceJedi2001 (12:07:16 AM): *who, buying me full-plate?<G>)

AndrewRogue (12:07:27 AM): (Yeah, sure.)

ForceJedi2001 (12:07:33 AM): (woohoo)

AndrewRogue (12:07:53 AM): (^_~ She'll just waste the money on sweets or something. A stuffed kitty-cat ^_^)

Adm H Sopko (12:08:19 AM): (Didn't we go over that we didn't have enough for Full platye?)

Chromeus18 (12:08:20 AM): whee! *puts on new equipment*

AndrewRogue (12:08:42 AM): (...er, I don't recall that conversation <_<)

Sarcazmo47 (12:08:42 AM): Asgardian full plate was $5000, as I recall.

AndrewRogue (12:08:53 AM): (Yar, expensive.)

SirAlexTheFirst (12:08:56 AM): Indeed.

SirAlexTheFirst (12:09:06 AM): Full plate here is only half that.

AndrewRogue (12:09:37 AM): (...Whee, that's more affordable. But Drake, you have to show up more often if I do this for ya ^_~)

ForceJedi2001 (12:09:53 AM): (lol ok)

AndrewRogue (12:10:45 AM): (Sooo... *tabulates* $3550.00? Sheesh, anyone else want something? :p)

Adm H Sopko (12:10:58 AM): (I'm good)

AndrewRogue (12:12:02 AM): *pays out to the good shopkeeper* (Whee, still have $4900.00 for the group)

AndrewRogue (12:13:14 AM): *she looks, well, embarassed to be spending more money than she has ever had in a single outing*

AndrewRogue (12:15:04 AM): (I killed chat ;_;-)

*OnlineHost* (12:15:09 AM): Chromeus18 rolled 2 8-sided dice: 5 5

AndrewRogue (12:15:19 AM): *shoots AIM*

Chromeus18 (12:15:31 AM): (forgot my hp roll last level >_>)

Adm H Sopko (12:15:33 AM): ::Puts his new toys within easy access on his body, ready to be thrown::

AndrewRogue (12:16:49 AM): (So fearless leader, what would be next on our agenda?)

ForceJedi2001 (12:17:26 AM): Hmm..so aFull plate, with large shield and a 20 dex..AC 15?

Adm H Sopko (12:17:48 AM): ::When they're all done in the shop:: "Okay... now that we're a bit closer, and... a small amount of time has passed... lets check in for more reports about Begres... and ask around as well."

MysteryGiIgamesh (12:18:29 AM): (Uh...)

MysteryGiIgamesh (12:18:43 AM): 8+2+1=21 AC.

AndrewRogue (12:18:56 AM): (... ... ... ... your AC is the same as Aria's? O_o You added something horribly, horribly wrong.)

ForceJedi2001 (12:18:56 AM): ( Hmm..program must be wrong..)

Adm H Sopko (12:19:25 AM): (You have a Dex of 20?)

AndrewRogue (12:19:31 AM): (...however, you're using fullplate with a +5 dex bonuse? O_o)

ForceJedi2001 (12:19:34 AM): ( I believe so)

Chromeus18 (12:19:40 AM): (with a +5 dex mod you really don't need full plate :P)

MysteryGiIgamesh (12:19:41 AM): (Why are you wearing full plate with that high of a dex? o_O)

ForceJedi2001 (12:20:01 AM): ( averages out to about the same anyway)

SirAlexTheFirst (12:20:27 AM): I... no comment.

(12:20:45 AM) Adm H Sopko has left the room.

(12:20:58 AM) Adm H Sopko has entered the room.

ForceJedi2001 (12:21:07 AM): ( Does gimme better saves if I go lighter, trying to figure this program out, so I'm trying not to go all Tricked out to maximize rules, heh or I'd never figure this thing out)

ForceJedi2001 (12:21:26 AM): (letme see here, might not get that fullplate

AndrewRogue (12:21:45 AM): (not when its your wallet the cash is coming out of -_- Ahem...) "That sounds like a plan... And thank you for letting me stop by my home Hunter... I... I really needed to see mom and dad again."

SirAlexTheFirst (12:21:50 AM): You should probably talk to Gil instead of using that program.

ForceJedi2001 (12:22:37 AM): ( is elven chain hard to come by here?)

Adm H Sopko (12:22:48 AM): ::Chcukles:: "No problem, Aria... Gelendar is the best place we could have came anyway. I'm glad to have met them too."

SirAlexTheFirst (12:23:03 AM): (Yes. Yes it is.)

Adm H Sopko (12:23:42 AM): (Crazy Sunshine. BRB)

AndrewRogue (12:24:04 AM): (Let's see... the highest AC you could get from armors is Studded Leather, Chain Shirt, Breastplate amd Full Plate.)

AndrewRogue (12:24:17 AM): (Stuff out of the PHB that is.)

ForceJedi2001 (12:24:30 AM): (yep, looking at it now, deciding between chain shirt or Stud

ForceJedi2001 (12:25:01 AM): (actually Chain shirt is best)

ForceJedi2001 (12:25:15 AM): ( 4 Ac plus 4 Desx max)

ForceJedi2001 (12:25:27 AM): ( gives me the same as full plate)

AndrewRogue (12:26:04 AM): (Actually, with a 20 Dex, its equal to Studded and one lower than Full Plate. But, enough math for now.)

ForceJedi2001 (12:26:39 AM): ( ah yes, got a 20 ac with chain shirt, not a 21

MysteryGiIgamesh (12:27:23 AM): (Chain Shirt, Dastana, Chahar-Aina, and a large steel shield.)

Sarcazmo47 (12:27:39 AM): What's all that crap?

AndrewRogue (12:27:42 AM): "And thank you for not sharing all that's happened... I don't want to think of how it would hurt them to hear that I... I died... But Hunter, could I ask you one thing?" (Dude, is Gil delving into Oriental Adventures?)

ForceJedi2001 (12:27:49 AM): ( whats a Dastana and a chahar?)

MysteryGiIgamesh (12:27:51 AM): (That will give you an AC of 4+1+1+2=8 base, with +4 to AC.)

MysteryGiIgamesh (12:27:56 AM): (From your dex.)

MysteryGiIgamesh (12:28:07 AM): (And they're in both OA and the Arms and Equipment Guide, heh.)

AndrewRogue (12:28:21 AM): (*throws his copy of OA at Gil*)

Adm H Sopko (12:28:36 AM): ::Nods:: "Alright"

MysteryGiIgamesh (12:28:39 AM): (Dastana are like metal armlets. And chahar is like a metal covering for your chest, though not so thick.)

ForceJedi2001 (12:29:01 AM): (ah.. Yeah..good luck finding this in the program heh)

Sarcazmo47 (12:29:17 AM): So...they're twinkish AC boosters?

MysteryGiIgamesh (12:29:30 AM): (Nah. They only work with a few light armor types.)

SirAlexTheFirst (12:29:48 AM): They're twinkish AC boosters.

AndrewRogue (12:29:53 AM): "If something... if something happens to me... could you please, please let them know? It... it would be better than having them wonder..." *she examines the ground*

ForceJedi2001 (12:30:36 AM): ( hey gil IM me with the stats for those things please)

Adm H Sopko (12:30:51 AM): ::Sighs a bit, nodding, biting his lip for a moment remembering what happened, or supposedly happened:: "Alright. I'll be sure to do that."

AndrewRogue (12:31:22 AM): (*steps aaaaway from Drake. Out of smiting range.*) "Thank you." *quietly*

Adm H Sopko (12:32:37 AM): "Err... no problem, I guess..."

AndrewRogue (12:35:04 AM): "It just... it hurts to know how much I'm worrying them. Especially when they have every reason to worry. Yet I... I lie to them to keep them as happy as I can." *she sighs* (just keeping up idle banter :p Jump in

AndrewRogue (12:35:16 AM): or signal ready to get going ^_~)

Adm H Sopko (12:36:59 AM): ::Shrugs:: "It's debatable whether they can be truly happy living in a lie... but I personally think it's for the best that they don't know about it... what happened to you that is..."

ForceJedi2001 (12:37:13 AM): (rockors 22 AC)

Adm H Sopko (12:37:31 AM): (I've survived with a 16 AC)

AndrewRogue (12:37:48 AM): (13 AC, recently upped to 15. Anyway, new adjusted cost?)

ForceJedi2001 (12:38:17 AM): ( well Not sure how much the two Pieces he told me about cost, but I just bought a chain shirt

AndrewRogue (12:38:44 AM): (*sighs mockingly* See what you did Gil? Annnyway, cost Gil?)

MysteryGiIgamesh (12:39:10 AM): (Cost: 75 GP for Chahar, 25 for dastana, but Alex prices things at however much or little he wants them, so ask him.)

SirAlexTheFirst (12:39:28 AM): $1000 for both of those.

SirAlexTheFirst (12:39:44 AM): Chain shirt?

AndrewRogue (12:39:44 AM): (I. Hate. You. Drake. ^_^)

ForceJedi2001 (12:39:55 AM): ( sniffles)

SirAlexTheFirst (12:40:00 AM): $150 here.

Adm H Sopko (12:40:05 AM): (Initially he bought Full Plate... this is a step down)

AndrewRogue (12:40:22 AM): (...by $350 :p)

Adm H Sopko (12:40:27 AM): (Reply, Aria<G>)

AndrewRogue (12:41:26 AM): (Gyah, math distracting me.) "I agree... I can't imagine telling them about what happened... it..." *she trails off*

AndrewRogue (12:42:24 AM): (New adjusted group funds: $5350.00. We dooone shopping now?)

MysteryGiIgamesh (12:42:56 AM): (Did we buy donuts?)

MysteryGiIgamesh (12:43:02 AM): (All good adventurer's need donuts.)

ForceJedi2001 (12:43:22 AM): (and milk!)

MysteryGiIgamesh (12:43:22 AM): (Plus we can use them to bargin for our loves. Even beholders love donuts. >_>)

Chromeus18 (12:43:30 AM): (jelly donuts for Jerri!)

MysteryGiIgamesh (12:43:30 AM): (*lives, not loves

AndrewRogue (12:43:39 AM): (Mmm, choclate dougnut for Aria!)

Adm H Sopko (12:44:05 AM): ::Doesn't reply, as no one but Lea and Bandon knows what happened to him at that time:: "Yeah..."

Adm H Sopko (12:44:45 AM): (Blues Driver Monster. BRB)

AndrewRogue (12:45:41 AM): (...one must wonder if Aria would find those events creepy. I mean, holding her severed head and trying to put her body up? Even when you're dead, that's weird ^_~ Anyway, sense motive check vs Hunter Alex?)

SirAlexTheFirst (12:46:16 AM): Pardon/

SirAlexTheFirst (12:46:37 AM): If you want to make checks against another PC,. go and make em

AndrewRogue (12:46:48 AM): Okey.

*OnlineHost* (12:46:50 AM): AndrewRogue rolled 1 20-sided die: 1

Chromeus18 (12:46:56 AM): CoC!

AndrewRogue (12:47:03 AM): ... (-13 again!)

AndrewRogue (12:47:50 AM): (...well, on that wonderful note, we ready to go info hunting?)

SirAlexTheFirst (12:48:56 AM): Are you?

AndrewRogue (12:49:47 AM): (Well, I was adressing the other 4 members of the group :p I'm personally ready.)

Adm H Sopko (12:50:02 AM): (Back)

MysteryGiIgamesh (12:50:20 AM): (I am back and ready.)

Adm H Sopko (12:50:34 AM): (I'm ready)

SirAlexTheFirst (12:50:56 AM): Then go

Chromeus18 (12:50:59 AM): ready!

Adm H Sopko (12:51:21 AM): "Library for incident reports? Or would you guys rather just get the word on the street?"

AndrewRogue (12:52:04 AM): "...it wouldn't hurt to do both. We can go by the library first to make sure we get there before it closes and then ask around. Or... I guess we could split up."

Adm H Sopko (12:52:36 AM): ::Doesn't look like he likes the idea of splitting up:: "Mmm... maybe we should stay together..."

MysteryGiIgamesh (12:53:19 AM): *he nods* "I....Agree......."

AndrewRogue (12:53:40 AM): "You... you probably have a point. I... we should keep our eyes open anyway... Something, strange, is going on..."

Adm H Sopko (12:54:27 AM): "Strange? What would that be?"{

AndrewRogue (12:56:13 AM): "Ah...? I just..." *she seems at a loss for words* "Something isn't right." *she states it simply and assuredly. No explanation seems forthcoming*

AndrewRogue (12:57:16 AM): (*cough* Unless anyone feels like following that up, to the library!)

Adm H Sopko (12:57:27 AM): ::Nods, beginning the trek to the library::

ForceJedi2001 (12:57:30 AM): *peers from benath his cowl at the two and smiles to himself*

SirAlexTheFirst (12:57:57 AM): Okay then.

SirAlexTheFirst (12:58:09 AM): What are you all researching at the library, and for how long?

AndrewRogue (12:58:52 AM): (Er... recent news/incident reports, specifically about Berges. For a couple hours I assume.)

Adm H Sopko (12:58:58 AM): Not all that long, until late afternoon?

Adm H Sopko (12:59:58 AM): (But yeah, what Aria said)

Adm H Sopko (1:01:26 AM): (I take a more open approach, looking for strange incidents in general)

SirAlexTheFirst (1:01:57 AM): The library doesn't pack that kind of thing, but a few moment's conversation with the staff reveals that the situation is more or less as Jaypheth described it.

Adm H Sopko (1:02:18 AM): "Do you know where we can find incident reports?"

SirAlexTheFirst (1:02:24 AM): You are unable to find anything of great interest here.

SirAlexTheFirst (1:02:48 AM): Incident reports are available on a security-clearance basis from the military.

AndrewRogue (1:03:25 AM): "I forgot that things here are a little... tighter... than they are in Asgard."

Adm H Sopko (1:03:25 AM): ::Sighs a bit:: "Thank you..." ::With that, he exits:: "I guess we should go ask around then."

AndrewRogue (1:04:47 AM): "No other choice... but where should we start? I suppose we could find a... a tavern or something..."

Adm H Sopko (1:05:11 AM): ::Nods:: "That would help..." ::Sighs:: "Wish Bandon were here... did he say where he'd meet us?"

AndrewRogue (1:06:15 AM): "No... he just said he'd meet us here. And I... didn't have the chance to... to ask if he had said anything else..." *red faced, how cute*

Adm H Sopko (1:07:17 AM): ::Growls a bit:: "Good for nothing... this might end up holding us up if we can't find each other... anyway... I think I might remember a place that'll help... a lot of the Yarovan people from this city's office go there, so we

Adm H Sopko (1:07:27 AM): might be able to milk them for information while they're drunk."

AndrewRogue (1:08:33 AM): "...I'm sure he has some way to find us... *ahem* Why don't we try there then?"

Adm H Sopko (1:09:36 AM): ::Nods:: "Hopefully some of the higher ranking members are there tonight... no idea how much they frequent it..." ::Begins to lead the way to a bit more posh area:: "If not, there are always those places like Bandon

Adm H Sopko (1:09:38 AM): took us."

SirAlexTheFirst (1:10:02 AM): Didn't you tell your parents you'd be home before bedtime?

Adm H Sopko (1:10:34 AM): (It's late afternoon... I guess...)

AndrewRogue (1:10:39 AM): (Quit making fun of me :p She'll shoot back come nightfall.) "What about the rest of you? Any ideas? I... I'm not real good at information gathering..."

MysteryGiIgamesh (1:12:14 AM): *he simply shrugs, not knowing what to say*

MysteryGiIgamesh (1:12:34 AM): (I feel kinda out of it tonight. X_x)

AndrewRogue (1:12:45 AM): (Awww ;_; )

Adm H Sopko (1:13:03 AM): ::Looks to Phil for his answer::

AndrewRogue (1:14:41 AM): *Jerri too.* (Talk people who aren't Aria and Hunter :p)

Chromeus18 (1:15:54 AM): "I'd personally suggest heading to Begres to find out more about what happened there. That'll have to wait till the morning though."

ForceJedi2001 (1:16:42 AM): " sorry M'lady, but I am unfamiliar to this place."

ForceJedi2001 (1:17:23 AM): *scratches his beard and eyes the road they are on.* " but usually the best place to find information is in a tavern, my friends."

Adm H Sopko (1:17:33 AM): "There is no one in Begres to talk to about it.."

AndrewRogue (1:18:13 AM): *to Phil* "We've been finding that out quite a bit lately..."

Adm H Sopko (1:18:21 AM): "Besides... we need to know what might be waiting for us there before we go... we don't want a repeat of what happened in that... place"

ForceJedi2001 (1:18:53 AM): *smiles at aria* " yes, it's quit the ill-content of this world, that any good information is always in such a ill be gotten place of business"

AndrewRogue (1:19:58 AM): "I... think I might be inclined to agree." *smiling vaguely*

ForceJedi2001 (1:20:38 AM): *turns to hunter and inclines his head* " lead on hunter, find us a tavern and we shall search for this Information you so readuily require."

Adm H Sopko (1:21:33 AM): ::Chuckles a bit, still getting used to the words lead and his name in the same sentence:: "Uh... sure" ::Walks them to the tavern he knows:: "Hopefully, I won't have to fight anyone this time."

AndrewRogue (1:22:02 AM): *chuckles*

Chromeus18 (1:22:09 AM): *marches dwarfishly behind Hunter*

ForceJedi2001 (1:22:28 AM): *places his hand on hunters shoulder and smiles* " Do not worry friend, you have me to watch your back."

Sarcazmo47 (1:24:18 AM): *decomposes*

AndrewRogue (1:24:42 AM): (Good to know Bandon is still hard at work ^_~)

SirAlexTheFirst (1:25:17 AM): Right. So you go to the Second North Tavern, home of the traders who just got off work.

SirAlexTheFirst (1:26:56 AM): Three people at the door start fighting Hunter.

SirAlexTheFirst (1:27:00 AM): Just kidding.

Adm H Sopko (1:27:07 AM): Heh

AndrewRogue (1:27:23 AM): (^_~)

SirAlexTheFirst (1:27:24 AM): The building seems to be filling up rapidly, as normal hours end.

Adm H Sopko (1:27:49 AM): ::Tries to get a good table, while on the lookout for anyone he knows is a higher ranking member::

Chromeus18 (1:27:57 AM): (brb, i'm hungry, so i'm making a damned omelette)

SirAlexTheFirst (1:28:45 AM): Spot check

SirAlexTheFirst (1:28:48 AM): Hunter

*OnlineHost* (1:29:23 AM): Adm H Sopko rolled 1 20-sided die: 2

SirAlexTheFirst (1:29:36 AM): You don't notice anyone in particular.

Adm H Sopko (1:29:36 AM): 9. 13 if human

SirAlexTheFirst (1:29:49 AM): There are a couple people from the Yarovan whom you recognize.

Adm H Sopko (1:30:46 AM): ::Looks to see how much they've drank, by how many empty glasses are next to them::

AndrewRogue (1:30:55 AM): *she'll sit, and wait for a cue from someone*

MysteryGiIgamesh (1:31:11 AM): *is simply...well, there. this isn't his element, after all*

SirAlexTheFirst (1:31:18 AM): They've just gotten here.

Adm H Sopko (1:31:41 AM): ::Looks to the others:: "Lets wait and relax a bit... wait for people to get a bit drunk first."

ForceJedi2001 (1:32:26 AM): *nods and leans in his chair, which is situated with it's back to the wall and his right sword arm, free to move whenever needed.*

AndrewRogue (1:33:13 AM): "By chance do they have water here Hunter?"

SirAlexTheFirst (1:33:31 AM): Unlike Farn's, this bar doesn't push alcohol or naked people on you. It's actually pretty quiet.

Adm H Sopko (1:33:39 AM): ::Nods:: "Yep. This isn't a dive place... respectable types come here."

Sarcazmo47 (1:34:25 AM): Do they have magical snack cakes?

AndrewRogue (1:34:36 AM): "That's... good to know." *she'll order a glass of water and, amazingly, produce a piece of fudge she snuck from the plate. And eat it. Yay*

ForceJedi2001 (1:34:42 AM): (Stomps on bandons dead mouth)

AndrewRogue (1:35:08 AM): (*on Bandon's "assumedly" dead mouth*)

ForceJedi2001 (1:35:16 AM): * Peers around the room keeping and eye on everyone from underneath his cowled hood.*

SirAlexTheFirst (1:35:30 AM): Aria's water is served with no trouble or delay.

SirAlexTheFirst (1:36:09 AM): It'll be about half an hour before Hunter's acquaintainces are slightly drunk.

SirAlexTheFirst (1:36:21 AM): They'll also begin to head for the door at this point.

AndrewRogue (1:36:34 AM): (That's nice ^_^ On a side note, I wanna know how her mom makes fudge. I've tried THREE times now and the junk never congeals into anything more than an intensely sweet pudding -_-) *thanks the waitress*

Adm H Sopko (1:38:18 AM): "I'll be a second" ::Gets up and heads over to them as they exit:: "Hey! How's it going!"

ForceJedi2001 (1:38:33 AM): * stands and walks behind Hunter*

SirAlexTheFirst (1:39:13 AM): They turn around and blink. "Hunter? Hunter Sopko?!"

Adm H Sopko (1:39:36 AM): ::Laughs a bit and smiles sheepishly, trying to remember their names::

Adm H Sopko (1:39:48 AM): (Roll for remembering?)

SirAlexTheFirst (1:40:35 AM): Sure.

Adm H Sopko (1:40:44 AM): Int? Wis?

*OnlineHost* (1:41:15 AM): Adm H Sopko rolled 1 20-sided die: 6

Adm H Sopko (1:41:29 AM): Doesn't matter... for either, it's a 7

SirAlexTheFirst (1:43:27 AM): You have no idea.

Adm H Sopko (1:43:46 AM): "Heh... yeah... it's me... how have you guys been? Haven't seen you in a while."

SirAlexTheFirst (1:44:45 AM): Roll a Charisma check.

*OnlineHost* (1:44:53 AM): Adm H Sopko rolled 1 20-sided die: 17

Adm H Sopko (1:44:55 AM): 18

SirAlexTheFirst (1:46:12 AM): They grab you and hustle you outside the tavern and into an alley, unless you resist.

Adm H Sopko (1:46:28 AM): ::Is too surprised to resist::

ForceJedi2001 (1:46:45 AM): (ok now I'm behind him soo..<G>)

ForceJedi2001 (1:47:10 AM): * jumps in and tries to tear hunter from their grasp*

AndrewRogue (1:47:47 AM): (Er, I see this?)

SirAlexTheFirst (1:47:53 AM): Sure.

Adm H Sopko (1:48:08 AM): (I seem to be wonderfully charismatic if an 18 causes them to jump me)

MysteryGiIgamesh (1:48:14 AM): (XD)

SirAlexTheFirst (1:48:33 AM): So.

AndrewRogue (1:48:36 AM): *up, out of her seat* "What are you doing?" *moving quickly to them*

SirAlexTheFirst (1:48:42 AM): Hunter is torn from their grasp by Phil?

*OnlineHost* (1:48:47 AM): ForceJedi2001 rolled 1 20-sided die: 2

ForceJedi2001 (1:48:52 AM): eww..heh

Adm H Sopko (1:48:53 AM): No

ForceJedi2001 (1:48:59 AM): 5<G>

ForceJedi2001 (1:49:19 AM): (would that slow em down enough for Aria to get here though?)

Adm H Sopko (1:49:29 AM): (Doubt it<G>)

SirAlexTheFirst (1:49:40 AM): Sure.

SirAlexTheFirst (1:49:49 AM): They look panicky.

Adm H Sopko (1:49:49 AM): ((::Sits back down:: ))

SirAlexTheFirst (1:49:58 AM): "You've got to get out of here!"

ForceJedi2001 (1:49:58 AM): ( Good, if she tries I should be able to get another Roll)

Adm H Sopko (1:50:09 AM): ::Blinks:: "Why is that?"

AndrewRogue (1:50:28 AM): *looks... surprised*

Adm H Sopko (1:50:41 AM): ::Not only gives in, but exits with them::

ForceJedi2001 (1:50:59 AM): *frowns and eyes Aria*

AndrewRogue (1:51:21 AM): "...they...they are his friends..." *follows 'em, just in case*

ForceJedi2001 (1:51:33 AM): *follows both of them*

SirAlexTheFirst (1:52:17 AM): The Yarovan guys, whom Hunter cannot remember the names of, seem quite agitated. "You can't show your face around here! You got fired! The news is all over!"

Adm H Sopko (1:52:48 AM): ::Nods, smirking:: "Jeez... didn't know I was famous... but this is a public bar, man. Not for just the company."

SirAlexTheFirst (1:53:59 AM): One of them hits his head with his hand. "Do you have any idea how much of a debacle that's been for us?"

Adm H Sopko (1:54:53 AM): ::Shakes his head:: "Well... I don't know if they plugged the leak yet, but... no idea. Vice President Scarlett didn't go that far with me."

Chromeus18 (1:56:45 AM): *back, with a tasty ham and cheese omelette*

AndrewRogue (1:57:06 AM): (...now I'm hungry. But laziness prevails, I'll eat later.)

Adm H Sopko (1:59:19 AM): ((::Awaits how much of an idiot he is:: ))

SirAlexTheFirst (1:59:31 AM): "No, no! Publicity! We had to fire a ranking officer for losing his badge! Yarovan is a laughingstock, right now, and if anyone else here reocgnizes you...."

AndrewRogue (2:00:07 AM): *indignantly* "Stolen!"

Adm H Sopko (2:01:15 AM): ::Turns and glares at Aria for a moment before turning back with a sigh:: "I suppose... it hasn't happened in quite a while, so there was bound to be some backlash..." ::Looks down a bit in shame::

AndrewRogue (2:01:52 AM): *shrinks back and shuts up*

SirAlexTheFirst (2:02:30 AM): "Look, man, I don't know why you came here, but you have to leave. Get a pigeon, or something."

Adm H Sopko (2:03:16 AM): "I came here for a reason... a very important one. You know I wouldn't come around otherwise."

Chromeus18 (2:04:11 AM): *listens*

Chromeus18 (2:05:37 AM): am i lagging?

SirAlexTheFirst (2:05:44 AM): No.

SirAlexTheFirst (2:06:01 AM): The slightly drunk guys are waiting for Hunter to give his good reason.

Chromeus18 (2:06:23 AM): *prepares for a speech*

MysteryGiIgamesh (2:07:53 AM): (..Crap. X_x)(

Adm H Sopko (2:07:57 AM): "Listen... I've been doing some really important work lately... away from the company... My friends and I are here on our way to Begres to investigate what happened there. I came here hoping to ask someone about what they

MysteryGiIgamesh (2:08:11 AM): (Okay, when I pass out at the keyboard, I know it's time for me to leave.)

Adm H Sopko (2:08:20 AM): knew... maybe you guys can help me out?"

MysteryGiIgamesh (2:08:25 AM): (Have a good night, all. X_x I'm exhausted.)

AndrewRogue (2:08:32 AM): (Heh... Start sleeping more or something so you can hang out longer Gil ^_~ Night.)

SirAlexTheFirst (2:08:35 AM): (Good night, then.)

MysteryGiIgamesh (2:08:35 AM): (Thanks for the gaming, Alex. ^_^ )

(2:08:57 AM) MysteryGiIgamesh has left the room.

SirAlexTheFirst (2:09:47 AM): "Begres?" They look at each other. "Uh... man, you're in some real deep stuff. Military's got that up tight. Yarovan's been staying out."

Adm H Sopko (2:10:44 AM): ::Nods:: "I know that some of the investigating team has disappeared, including the leader. However, other than that, we don't know whats waiting when we get there. How much do you know?"

Chromeus18 (2:10:44 AM): g'nite (LAAAAG)

SirAlexTheFirst (2:13:36 AM): "Uh... not that much..."

Adm H Sopko (2:13:59 AM): ::Shrugs:: "Thats alright... just tell me what you know..."

Chromeus18 (2:14:27 AM): i hate computers

AndrewRogue (2:14:48 AM): (I hate them too. And I really want a coke.)

SirAlexTheFirst (2:14:57 AM): "People vanished, the military moved in, and that's all we've heard."

Adm H Sopko (2:15:28 AM): "Damn... do you think you can get me in touch with anyone that knows anything?"

ForceJedi2001 (2:17:22 AM): (alright, I need to go as well, Night guys)

(2:17:25 AM) coughingpuppy has left the room.

(2:17:33 AM) coughingpuppy has entered the room.

Adm H Sopko (2:17:34 AM): (Later)

AndrewRogue (2:17:42 AM): (Yarr, night.)

(2:17:42 AM) ForceJedi2001 has left the room.

Sarcazmo47 (2:17:45 AM): And the llamafication continues...

Adm H Sopko (2:18:19 AM): (::Hugs New Jersey:: ))

AndrewRogue (2:18:34 AM): (You from Jersey Soppy?)

Adm H Sopko (2:18:41 AM): ((Yep))

AndrewRogue (2:18:52 AM): (Heh, go figure. What area?)

SirAlexTheFirst (2:19:45 AM): "If you know anyone in the military, sure, maybe. I dunno."

Adm H Sopko (2:19:48 AM): ((Northern Passaic county)

Adm H Sopko (2:20:06 AM): ::Tries to remember if he knows anyone in the military::

SirAlexTheFirst (2:21:18 AM): You don't know anyone of note in the Gelendar military.

Adm H Sopko (2:21:59 AM): ::Shakes his head:: "Can't say I do... Is there anyone in the company that knows thats still cool with me like you guys are?"

SirAlexTheFirst (2:23:14 AM): They look at each other again. "Uh... might be. You could hang around the offices, I guess."

AndrewRogue (2:23:38 AM): (BRB, I really need to dig up something to eat. I'm going to fall asleep if I don't get caffine or sustenance.)

Adm H Sopko (2:23:59 AM): ::Shakes his head again:: "I don't want to cause a scene... if you really can't tell me, thats alright... I'll just go."

SirAlexTheFirst (2:25:52 AM): They shrug. "Sorry. We need to be getting home, though. Good luck on whatever spook stuff you're doing."

Adm H Sopko (2:26:42 AM): ::Chuckles:: "Thanks, man. Have a good night."

SirAlexTheFirst (2:27:30 AM): And they depart.

AndrewRogue (2:28:03 AM): (And I arrive! I found my Coke. In the bathroom. O_o)

AndrewRogue (2:28:56 AM): *quietly* "Another bust."

Adm H Sopko (2:29:46 AM): ::Sighs, turning to them:: "Sorry about that... I didn't know I caused that much of a stir at the company... Maybe we should get back to your parents' house..."

AndrewRogue (2:30:51 AM): "Its all right Hunter... And I... I'm sorry about that outburst..." *she coughs* "I suppose we should head back if we can't find anything."

Adm H Sopko (2:31:08 AM): ::Smiles:: "It's alright... I guess I was a bit harsh on you..."

AndrewRogue (2:32:34 AM): "I guess I just can't understand how things work at Yaravon... Its not a problem though. I... I shouldn't have interrupted."

Adm H Sopko (2:33:12 AM): ::Laughs a bit, putting his hand on her shoulder:: "Well, it's good to know I have someone willing to come to my defense though..."

AndrewRogue (2:34:47 AM): "Of course." *she...blushes? Maybe she's just warm.*

AndrewRogue (2:36:59 AM): (*lends Chrome his Task Manager +3, Bane vs Lag**) *she nods* "You ready Jerri?"

Chromeus18 (2:38:15 AM): "Yep, let's get a move on"

AndrewRogue (2:38:29 AM): (We go!)

SirAlexTheFirst (2:38:56 AM): You go.

SirAlexTheFirst (2:39:28 AM): The lights are on at Aria's house, which is good because you get back there at nightfall.

AndrewRogue (2:40:28 AM): *this time she approaches the door with an easy familiarity and opens it* "Mom! Dad! I'm back!"

SirAlexTheFirst (2:41:14 AM): Jess and Tarin jump up from the chairs they were sitting in, and hug Aria.

SirAlexTheFirst (2:41:20 AM): "Welcome back!"

Adm H Sopko (2:41:34 AM): ::Chuckles a bit, thinking to himself:: ~Close family...~

SirAlexTheFirst (2:45:24 AM): Spot check, Aria.

SirAlexTheFirst (2:46:24 AM): Okay.

SirAlexTheFirst (2:46:37 AM): Suddenly, nobody can see anything.

SirAlexTheFirst (2:46:44 AM): The area is plunged into total darkness/

Adm H Sopko (2:46:55 AM): Can we see each other? Or just nothing?

Chromeus18 (2:46:57 AM): Darkvision baby!

SirAlexTheFirst (2:47:01 AM): Nothing.

Adm H Sopko (2:47:04 AM): Bah

Adm H Sopko (2:47:12 AM): ~Whats going on?~

AndrewRogue (2:47:17 AM): "What is this?"

SirAlexTheFirst (2:49:21 AM): "Huh?" "What's this?"

SirAlexTheFirst (2:54:19 AM): Well, actually, Aria's two actions come first, but then Hunter

Adm H Sopko (2:54:34 AM): ::Backs up towards the door slowly, following his own advice and hoping the others do so as well::

AndrewRogue (2:54:46 AM): Yay. Nimbus of Light, activate! ~Please help! I... I can't breathe!~

Adm H Sopko (2:55:08 AM): ~Aria! Where are you?!~

SirAlexTheFirst (2:56:00 AM): Y'all see Aria outlined by a halo of light, in the deep darkness. Rather scary. She seems to be choking.

Adm H Sopko (2:56:31 AM): ::Runs to her, trying to see what is choking her::

Chromeus18 (2:56:33 AM): and i was gonna pick daylight for a spell...

SirAlexTheFirst (2:56:52 AM): Something around her neck, is all you can see.

Adm H Sopko (2:57:13 AM): ::Attempts to grab it and pull it off::

Adm H Sopko (2:57:34 AM): Grapple?

SirAlexTheFirst (2:57:41 AM): No.

SirAlexTheFirst (2:57:53 AM): It's a small wire around her neck.

SirAlexTheFirst (2:57:56 AM): Str check.

*OnlineHost* (2:57:59 AM): Adm H Sopko rolled 1 20-sided die: 1

Adm H Sopko (2:58:02 AM): Oy

SirAlexTheFirst (2:58:03 AM): No dice.

SirAlexTheFirst (2:58:14 AM): And now... something in the darkness moves.

*OnlineHost* (2:58:29 AM): SirAlexTheFirst rolled 4 20-sided dice: 15 16 13 8

AndrewRogue (2:58:45 AM): (...yar. I'm shooting Gil and Drake in the face when they get back on. :p)

*OnlineHost* (2:59:40 AM): SirAlexTheFirst rolled 6 6-sided dice: 5 3 6 5 5 6

AndrewRogue (3:00:26 AM): (...that's quite a few dice.)

Adm H Sopko (3:00:30 AM): I have a bad feeling about this

SirAlexTheFirst (3:00:31 AM): Aria takes 54 damage. Blood flies around in the halo as something twirls around on/in her back.

SirAlexTheFirst (3:00:42 AM): It looks quite nifty, and very, very painful.

AndrewRogue (3:00:46 AM): (Well fucking shit. -3)

SirAlexTheFirst (3:00:55 AM): Dropped.

SirAlexTheFirst (3:01:03 AM): Does the halo shut off?

Adm H Sopko (3:01:15 AM): (Alex... this is fucking crazy)

AndrewRogue (3:01:33 AM): (Good question.

SirAlexTheFirst (3:02:09 AM): This is true.

SirAlexTheFirst (3:02:57 AM): I hate myself for doing it.

AndrewRogue (3:03:03 AM): (*Saves commentary for the end of tonight's adventure* Meh, the feat makes no reference of having to maintain. Aria simply radiates light, and can shut it off at will. I'd say that would mean it could stay up, even if she wasn't.)

SirAlexTheFirst (3:03:10 AM): Okay.

AndrewRogue (3:03:52 AM): (Yar, 13 more HP 'till I die. Yay.)

SirAlexTheFirst (3:04:02 AM): So you can see her body on the ground, still surrounded in light. The halo also now partially illuminates a humanoid figure standing by her, one that isn't Tarin, Jess, or one of you.

SirAlexTheFirst (3:05:02 AM): Next action is Tarin's, and he screams.

SirAlexTheFirst (3:05:13 AM): Then the people with 12's are up, in whichever order.

Chromeus18 (3:05:25 AM): that'd be me, since Aria is KO

SirAlexTheFirst (3:05:30 AM): ..or, rather, Jerry is up.

AndrewRogue (3:05:35 AM): Err, stabilization check?

Chromeus18 (3:05:52 AM): well, go ahead and stabilize

SirAlexTheFirst (3:05:55 AM): Stabilization for Aria.

*OnlineHost* (3:05:57 AM): AndrewRogue rolled 1 20-sided die: 20

Chromeus18 (3:06:01 AM): bam!

SirAlexTheFirst (3:06:07 AM): Give me another d20

*OnlineHost* (3:06:11 AM): AndrewRogue rolled 1 20-sided die: 19

AndrewRogue (3:06:25 AM): (Now Aim shapes up *rolls eyes*)

Chromeus18 (3:06:39 AM): and just think, those could've been str or attack rolls :P

SirAlexTheFirst (3:06:44 AM): Hmm. You can wake up and act, though you're still choking and will probably go out from that after your action...

AndrewRogue (3:07:10 AM): (Er... what actions are possible from my current position?)

SirAlexTheFirst (3:07:29 AM): From Aria's point of view, things got dark, then something grabbed her neck, then MASSIVE SLICING PAIN came to her back.

SirAlexTheFirst (3:07:42 AM): You can stand up and whack that guy there.

AndrewRogue (3:08:53 AM): Yay! Nifty, how about a focused attack?

SirAlexTheFirst (3:09:05 AM): Mm.

SirAlexTheFirst (3:09:27 AM): Sure.

Chromeus18 (3:09:33 AM): you're in total darkness, i suggest you full attack, cuz each attack has a miss chance

SirAlexTheFirst (3:09:51 AM): The halo of light lets her see the guy enough to attack

AndrewRogue (3:09:54 AM): Not total, fear the Nimbus.

SirAlexTheFirst (3:10:00 AM): And if she stands up, the rest of you can see him as well.

Chromeus18 (3:10:01 AM): ahh nevermind me then

AndrewRogue (3:10:17 AM): Anyway, I need a good shot so sac 6 to power attack and...

*OnlineHost* (3:10:22 AM): AndrewRogue rolled 1 20-sided die: 14

AndrewRogue (3:10:31 AM): 25!

SirAlexTheFirst (3:11:22 AM): The mystery man of tonight is a wavery, insubstantial figure with grey skin, even in the halo of light, black hair, and jet black eyes.

AndrewRogue (3:11:46 AM): (...oh gawd, I feel stupid for mentioning this, but should I, uh, roll vs Death from Massive damage first? >_<)

Sarcazmo47 (3:12:08 AM): It wasn't all from a single attack, so I don't think you have to.

SirAlexTheFirst (3:12:14 AM): He's holding a double-bladed staff, freshly coated in Aria's blood, and carrying a rapier at his side - and a look of pure, diabolical hatred and frenzy.

SirAlexTheFirst (3:12:24 AM): And no, it was spread over multiple attacks.

AndrewRogue (3:12:31 AM): (Whew.)

AndrewRogue (3:12:42 AM): Annnnyway, a 25 a hit?

SirAlexTheFirst (3:12:51 AM): The man's black overcoat bears a large pentagram made of inset rubies on the front.

Chromeus18 (3:13:02 AM): SATAN OUR DARK MASTER

AndrewRogue (3:13:12 AM): (...that scores a 7.0 on my trippy-shit-o-meter.)

SirAlexTheFirst (3:13:32 AM): Give me a d2.

*OnlineHost* (3:13:38 AM): AndrewRogue rolled 1 2-sided die: 1

AndrewRogue (3:13:55 AM): (3rd 1 of the day! ^_~)

SirAlexTheFirst (3:13:57 AM): By the way, what are you attacking him with?

Chromeus18 (3:14:16 AM): (penta-man: Aria.... you should've never stolen that piece of fudge from your mother!)

AndrewRogue (3:14:31 AM): (Ah... silly me, I'm not thinking. Er, is a Guisarme shot even possible?)

Sarcazmo47 (3:15:01 AM): Given that he's standing right next to you? It's a 10 foot reach weapon, right?

AndrewRogue (3:15:14 AM): The dreaded 5ft step however.

Sarcazmo47 (3:15:28 AM): Right.

SirAlexTheFirst (3:15:29 AM): You're getting up and hitting him with it. I'd say she can catch him on the upstroke.

AndrewRogue (3:16:06 AM): I like that too <_<

SirAlexTheFirst (3:16:34 AM): So. Yes, that hits.

AndrewRogue (3:16:38 AM): Yay!

Adm H Sopko (3:19:53 AM): Er... 30... the hell? Where are my math skills

SirAlexTheFirst (3:19:56 AM): There are no odd numbers...

SirAlexTheFirst (3:20:11 AM): *kicks people*

AndrewRogue (3:20:13 AM): Blah, my sheet has it listing +7 to damage for some reason.

SirAlexTheFirst (3:20:15 AM): Anyways.

AndrewRogue (3:20:31 AM): 30 Damage damnit.

(3:21:13 AM) Chromeus18 has left the room.

SirAlexTheFirst (3:21:13 AM): I need to nerf that Power Attack crazygonuts sometime, too. Ah well. In addition, when the Guisarme strikes him - and he seems surprised that it does, as it seems to pass through him at first -

(3:21:18 AM) Chromeus18 has entered the room.

Chromeus18 (3:21:31 AM): alright, i'm back

Chromeus18 (3:21:42 AM): what did i miss?

SirAlexTheFirst (3:22:00 AM): it also sparks and flashes, and a large flare of light bursts out from its... uh... bladey part. I don't know what that's called.

AndrewRogue (3:23:07 AM): (Actually, I think you should avoid nerfing it <_< Aria's damage seems comparable to Hunter's when he duel weilds. The difference is, he gets multible chances to do some. I miss, I miss big. And I think blade is sufficent ^_~)

SirAlexTheFirst (3:23:12 AM): The light in the area is back to daylight levels, which is odd as it's nighttime now.

AndrewRogue (3:23:52 AM): (Yay!)

*OnlineHost* (3:24:01 AM): SirAlexTheFirst rolled 1 8-sided die: 2

Adm H Sopko (3:24:06 AM): ((Hunter shreads thigns to bitty pieces when he lands everything)

SirAlexTheFirst (3:24:12 AM): Aria takes two more choking damage, and drops again.

AndrewRogue (3:24:17 AM): (Boo.)

SirAlexTheFirst (3:24:27 AM): The light remains, though, and the man recoils in pain and terror.

SirAlexTheFirst (3:24:36 AM): Doesn't seem to have been expecting this.

SirAlexTheFirst (3:24:42 AM): Jerry is up.

Chromeus18 (3:24:43 AM): bah, missed my turn, huh?

Chromeus18 (3:24:48 AM): oh guess not

Chromeus18 (3:25:17 AM): i suppose Hunter just pounded some on the guy?

Adm H Sopko (3:25:25 AM): Aria did

Chromeus18 (3:25:41 AM): oh Aria, good joh!

Chromeus18 (3:25:44 AM): *job

Adm H Sopko (3:25:46 AM): I couldn't see him when I went, so I tried to get the thing off from Aria's neck

AndrewRogue (3:26:36 AM): (Heh, now let's hope the bugger doesn't have a lot left from Aria ripping him.)

Adm H Sopko (3:27:06 AM): (Capturing him would be smart... but I doubt Hunter will think of that after seeing Aria drop)

Sarcazmo47 (3:27:13 AM): Again.

Adm H Sopko (3:27:21 AM): (Yep)

Sarcazmo47 (3:27:48 AM): But no one cares about Bandon! *cries*

AndrewRogue (3:28:04 AM): (Well, you should have gotten Ninja'd in front of us :p)

Adm H Sopko (3:28:04 AM): (Nope. No one cares about Zoidberg... err... Bandon)

AndrewRogue (3:28:26 AM): (Heh.)

Chromeus18 (3:28:59 AM): is the chokey thing still on Aria?

SirAlexTheFirst (3:29:21 AM): Yes.

SirAlexTheFirst (3:29:26 AM): She's dropped again.

Adm H Sopko (3:29:28 AM): Umm... you're a cleric... do what clerics do best

SirAlexTheFirst (3:29:33 AM): And looking in bad shape.

AndrewRogue (3:30:06 AM): (...actually, leaving me down might be better. Another staff shot and I'm very dead.)

Adm H Sopko (3:30:38 AM): (He may stab you for the hell of it for injuring him)

AndrewRogue (3:30:46 AM): (Of course, being that this bastard has it in for me apparently, I wouldn't count on me living out the round either way :p)

AndrewRogue (3:32:32 AM): As long as he stays to Aria's front, he's safe.

AndrewRogue (3:32:40 AM): ...I assume of course <_<

Chromeus18 (3:33:06 AM): oh that guy is behind her?

Adm H Sopko (3:33:24 AM): (I don't even want to think of how powerful he'd be if Jac and Phil were here)

AndrewRogue (3:33:31 AM): Assumedly. That's where he mauled the crap out of her.

AndrewRogue (3:34:08 AM): Actually, the sad thing is that his damage is somewhat reasonable. -_-

Chromeus18 (3:34:18 AM): we should REALLY start doing placement before battle

Chromeus18 (3:34:41 AM): i don't see any reason why i'd have to move through penta-man's square though

Chromeus18 (3:35:49 AM): and that ends Jerri's turn

SirAlexTheFirst (3:37:36 AM): Right. Well.

SirAlexTheFirst (3:38:11 AM): What should I do with the llamas...

Chromeus18 (3:39:23 AM): hmmm... have them graze?

AndrewRogue (3:39:35 AM): (...well, what's our wavery, insubstantial friend doing?)

Chromeus18 (3:39:42 AM): or attack all llama-like?

SirAlexTheFirst (3:39:45 AM): Hunter's got a turn before him.

SirAlexTheFirst (3:39:48 AM): Actually...

AndrewRogue (3:39:50 AM): (Or, how's he looking, I mean.)

SirAlexTheFirst (3:39:57 AM): So do Aria's parents.

Sarcazmo47 (3:40:05 AM): Didn't they scream already?

SirAlexTheFirst (3:40:25 AM): The no-longer-wavery, grey man is looking very hurt, and VERY hateful.

AndrewRogue (3:41:00 AM): (*sighs* Well... that's almost sorta kinda positive.)

Chromeus18 (3:41:39 AM): i probably shoulda whacked him, oh well

SirAlexTheFirst (3:41:56 AM): Let's do Hunter next.

Adm H Sopko (3:42:37 AM): ::Upon seeing Aria go down once again, Hunter's eyes cloud with rage as he unleashes a flurry of attacks on the man::

*OnlineHost* (3:43:03 AM): Adm H Sopko rolled 4 20-sided dice: 8 7 5 20

Chromeus18 (3:43:07 AM): RAGE

AndrewRogue (3:43:17 AM): (...well, that 20 is nice ^_~)

Sarcazmo47 (3:43:32 AM): Yay for poking with kukri!

Adm H Sopko (3:43:43 AM): 17, 15, 8, crit

Adm H Sopko (3:45:03 AM): Crit confirm

*OnlineHost* (3:45:04 AM): Adm H Sopko rolled 1 20-sided die: 14

Adm H Sopko (3:45:12 AM): 17

SirAlexTheFirst (3:45:37 AM): The last one hits. And it's not a crit.

*OnlineHost* (3:45:52 AM): Adm H Sopko rolled 1 3-sided die: 3

Adm H Sopko (3:46:03 AM): 4 damage... ouch

AndrewRogue (3:46:04 AM): (...well crap.)

Sarcazmo47 (3:46:33 AM): It was 1/2 your STR mod on off-hand, wasn't it?

Chromeus18 (3:46:41 AM): now it's parents turn, right?

AndrewRogue (3:46:52 AM): (...well, double crap)

Adm H Sopko (3:46:55 AM): ::Rakes the blade of the kukri across the arm of the man, having missed all of the other strokes due to his whoreishness)

Sarcazmo47 (3:47:37 AM): Have the parents run up to Aria. Come on, do it.

AndrewRogue (3:48:08 AM): (Hang on, need to check on my sister. BRB.)

SirAlexTheFirst (3:48:13 AM): Mm.

*OnlineHost* (3:48:20 AM): SirAlexTheFirst rolled 3 20-sided dice: 10 2 14

*OnlineHost* (3:49:00 AM): SirAlexTheFirst rolled 1 20-sided die: 17

SirAlexTheFirst (3:49:35 AM): Tarin charges at the guy, full on, and tries to grab him, screaming "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO MY DAUGHTER?"

*OnlineHost* (3:49:37 AM): SirAlexTheFirst rolled 1 20-sided die: 4

AndrewRogue (3:49:39 AM): (baaaack. -_-)

SirAlexTheFirst (3:50:53 AM): Grey Man sidesteps Tarin easily, and holds out his sword for him to run into.

*OnlineHost* (3:50:54 AM): SirAlexTheFirst rolled 1 20-sided die: 12

SirAlexTheFirst (3:51:34 AM): Ow.

*OnlineHost* (3:51:55 AM): SirAlexTheFirst rolled 1 8-sided die: 2

Chromeus18 (3:52:01 AM): oh, no, stop, please, don't

SirAlexTheFirst (3:52:35 AM): Tarin's stomach gets slashed open, and he coughs up some blood, but remains upright.

AndrewRogue (3:53:12 AM): (...that scores a 5.5 on my miracle meter.)

SirAlexTheFirst (3:53:32 AM): Miss Jess just screams....

*OnlineHost* (3:53:33 AM): SirAlexTheFirst rolled 1 20-sided die: 13

SirAlexTheFirst (3:53:57 AM): And she, too, will charge the Man in Grey, from the other side.

AndrewRogue (3:54:18 AM): (...argh. Argh. Stupid parents who genetics created Arianna.)

Chromeus18 (3:54:23 AM): oh, no, stop, please, don't

SirAlexTheFirst (3:54:24 AM): He deftly whips the other end of the dual blade in her direction.

*OnlineHost* (3:54:27 AM): SirAlexTheFirst rolled 1 20-sided die: 9

*OnlineHost* (3:54:34 AM): SirAlexTheFirst rolled 1 8-sided die: 8

Chromeus18 (3:54:56 AM): combat reflexes sucks

AndrewRogue (3:55:15 AM): (...well, at least he isn't getting sneak attack damage -_-)

SirAlexTheFirst (3:55:33 AM): Lady Jess runs into it, gasps, and falls down, her fudge pan clattering to the floor.

SirAlexTheFirst (3:57:02 AM): And now, it's the Man in Grey's turn.

SirAlexTheFirst (3:57:29 AM): Hmmm.

AndrewRogue (3:58:17 AM): I soooooo need a Hero Point right now ^_~

Chromeus18 (3:58:50 AM): it just now occurred to me that you can't AoO on a charge

SirAlexTheFirst (3:58:56 AM): He's inside the house. That might have been a bad idea.

SirAlexTheFirst (3:59:28 AM): You can, however, AoO on an attack made unarmed, or an attempted grapple.

Chromeus18 (3:59:41 AM): oh right, unnarmed

Chromeus18 (4:00:03 AM): and i imagine miss jess isn't proficient with pastries as weapons

Sarcazmo47 (4:00:09 AM): And I don't think Jess had weapon proficiency: fudge pan.

Sarcazmo47 (4:00:19 AM): Chrome beat me to it.

Chromeus18 (4:00:28 AM): :P

Chromeus18 (4:00:43 AM): gogo grey ranger

AndrewRogue (4:00:55 AM): (Heh. No. No no Grey Ranger. :p)

SirAlexTheFirst (4:00:57 AM): That WAS a really bad idea for him.

SirAlexTheFirst (4:01:24 AM): He's going to... hmm.

AndrewRogue (4:01:24 AM): (Well, for it being a bad idea, he's doing all right for himself.)

Chromeus18 (4:01:26 AM): was he gonna shapechange to a tarrasque or something? :P

AndrewRogue (4:01:37 AM): (^_~)

*OnlineHost* (4:02:01 AM): SirAlexTheFirst rolled 1 20-sided die: 4

SirAlexTheFirst (4:02:05 AM): Yeah.

SirAlexTheFirst (4:02:33 AM): He quickly pulls out a conical object, shifting his hands from his weapon...

Adm H Sopko (4:02:36 AM): ((He's gonna freak out and morph into Shukaku now))

SirAlexTheFirst (4:02:42 AM): AoO's from Aria and Hunter

AndrewRogue (4:02:52 AM): Boo yah!

SirAlexTheFirst (4:02:52 AM): Wait, not Aria.

AndrewRogue (4:02:58 AM): Damn yah!

SirAlexTheFirst (4:02:59 AM): Yuo're choking.

SirAlexTheFirst (4:03:10 AM): Eh.

*OnlineHost* (4:03:10 AM): Adm H Sopko rolled 1 20-sided die: 1

Adm H Sopko (4:03:13 AM): Ugh

Chromeus18 (4:03:18 AM): o nos

SirAlexTheFirst (4:03:26 AM): Concentration check, Aria.

*OnlineHost* (4:03:40 AM): AndrewRogue rolled 1 20-sided die: 4

AndrewRogue (4:03:47 AM): ...yeah. 7

SirAlexTheFirst (4:04:01 AM): Nope.

SirAlexTheFirst (4:04:14 AM): He grips the object, pulls, and...

SirAlexTheFirst (4:04:16 AM): Vanishes.

AndrewRogue (4:04:28 AM): Sunuva-bitch!

Adm H Sopko (4:04:38 AM): I need to roll for crit miss?

SirAlexTheFirst (4:05:01 AM): Nah.

AndrewRogue (4:05:22 AM): Does the garrote let up?

SirAlexTheFirst (4:05:22 AM): Nobody's here to do anything about it.

SirAlexTheFirst (4:05:26 AM): No, it does not.

SirAlexTheFirst (4:05:34 AM): Choking damage to Aria.

*OnlineHost* (4:05:47 AM): SirAlexTheFirst rolled 1 8-sided die: 4

SirAlexTheFirst (4:05:53 AM): 4 more.

Sarcazmo47 (4:06:03 AM): And then there are the bleeding parents.

AndrewRogue (4:06:05 AM): Psh. 9 HP left.

AndrewRogue (4:06:19 AM): Aria's init?

SirAlexTheFirst (4:06:36 AM): Yes.

AndrewRogue (4:06:54 AM): Is something still pulling the garrote, or is it just yanked tight?

SirAlexTheFirst (4:06:54 AM): The wire around your neck continues to constrict.

SirAlexTheFirst (4:07:11 AM): Nothing is pulling on it.

Adm H Sopko (4:07:12 AM): ((He's not still here is he?)

SirAlexTheFirst (4:07:25 AM): The Man in Grey has vanished from all sight.

AndrewRogue (4:07:29 AM): Theeen, can I just pull it off?

SirAlexTheFirst (4:08:57 AM): You can try.

AndrewRogue (4:09:37 AM): I hate that word. Try. Implies that I'm going to fail badly. What the hell though, I'll try to pull the damn thing off.

AndrewRogue (4:10:14 AM): (And before I make any rolls- *shoots Aim repeatedly with a caster*)

SirAlexTheFirst (4:10:23 AM): Str check.

SirAlexTheFirst (4:10:27 AM): It's HARD to pull off.

*OnlineHost* (4:10:32 AM): AndrewRogue rolled 1 20-sided die: 9

SirAlexTheFirst (4:10:34 AM): Almost like it's still constricting on its own.

AndrewRogue (4:10:37 AM): 11 -_-

SirAlexTheFirst (4:11:56 AM): Nope.

AndrewRogue (4:13:01 AM): ~Help my parents, please!~ *desperate, pleading, even as she fails in her endeavor*

SirAlexTheFirst (4:13:09 AM): You can't even budge it.

Adm H Sopko (4:14:55 AM): ::Hunter nods, kneeling down to check if her mother is still alive::

SirAlexTheFirst (4:15:03 AM): And, of course, your pulling on it hurts.

SirAlexTheFirst (4:15:08 AM): She is. Barely.

Adm H Sopko (4:15:32 AM): Do I need to stabilize her?

SirAlexTheFirst (4:16:33 AM): Probably.

Adm H Sopko (4:17:00 AM): ::Hunter whips out a Healer's Kit, beginning to work on her mother to keep her alive::

*OnlineHost* (4:17:04 AM): Adm H Sopko rolled 1 20-sided die: 17

Adm H Sopko (4:17:14 AM): 26

SirAlexTheFirst (4:18:24 AM): She's stable.

SirAlexTheFirst (4:18:35 AM): Tarin wheezes over to Aria and tries to help her.

*OnlineHost* (4:18:36 AM): SirAlexTheFirst rolled 1 20-sided die: 8

SirAlexTheFirst (4:18:41 AM): No dice, though.

AndrewRogue (4:20:32 AM): (How much longer can Aria go sans air? I don't know choking rules.)

SirAlexTheFirst (4:20:42 AM): Not too long.

AndrewRogue (4:21:42 AM): (*pokes Chrome* Jerri wanna try something?)

Chromeus18 (4:21:48 AM): i'm thinkin

Sarcazmo47 (4:22:02 AM): Shatter! Oh, wait, that's an arcane spell. Shucks.

AndrewRogue (4:22:08 AM): (Ah... sorry, AIM makes it hard to tell if people are still concious :p)

Chromeus18 (4:22:51 AM): *grips the garrote as best he can, and pulls with FEAT OF STRENGTH, +6 to str*

*OnlineHost* (4:22:57 AM): Chromeus18 rolled 1 20-sided die: 3

Chromeus18 (4:23:00 AM): fuck

AndrewRogue (4:23:02 AM): (*cries*)

Chromeus18 (4:23:16 AM): 7, i FAILE

SirAlexTheFirst (4:23:19 AM): You faile.

Chromeus18 (4:23:46 AM): are we still using combat rounds?

SirAlexTheFirst (4:24:02 AM): I'm keepingtrack of them, yes.

SirAlexTheFirst (4:24:12 AM): More strangulation this round here.

*OnlineHost* (4:24:15 AM): SirAlexTheFirst rolled 1 8-sided die: 4

AndrewRogue (4:24:17 AM): (If I survive a serious mauling by a double bladed staff and die to a fucking wire, I'm going to be unhappy)

*OnlineHost* (4:24:34 AM): SirAlexTheFirst rolled 1 20-sided die: 16

SirAlexTheFirst (4:24:43 AM): Miss Jess is looking all right, too.

Chromeus18 (4:24:57 AM): is there any obvious way to detach it?

SirAlexTheFirst (4:25:23 AM): No.

Chromeus18 (4:25:49 AM): Hunter?

Adm H Sopko (4:26:11 AM): ::Seeing Aria's mother is all good, he rushes to help Aria::

AndrewRogue (4:26:14 AM): (Back in just a second.)

*OnlineHost* (4:26:16 AM): Adm H Sopko rolled 1 20-sided die: 2

Adm H Sopko (4:26:18 AM): Ugh

SirAlexTheFirst (4:26:31 AM): Owwww.

SirAlexTheFirst (4:26:57 AM): Tastes like burning...

Chromeus18 (4:27:05 AM): *to Tarin* "Stand back a moment..."

SirAlexTheFirst (4:27:10 AM): Are you all going to help together?

Adm H Sopko (4:27:23 AM): Yes

Chromeus18 (4:27:23 AM): *goes for broke* Dispel Magic on the garrote!

*OnlineHost* (4:27:38 AM): Chromeus18 rolled 1 20-sided die: 13

Chromeus18 (4:27:48 AM): 19

SirAlexTheFirst (4:27:59 AM): Nothing happens.

Chromeus18 (4:28:05 AM): of course -_-

SirAlexTheFirst (4:28:14 AM): Tarin, Hunter, and Aria are all pulling together now?

Adm H Sopko (4:28:20 AM): Yep

AndrewRogue (4:28:22 AM): I'm all for that.

SirAlexTheFirst (4:28:31 AM): One check for the three of you, then.

AndrewRogue (4:28:41 AM): ...so, who wants to roll?

SirAlexTheFirst (4:28:46 AM): Aria.

AndrewRogue (4:28:54 AM): Shucks :p

*OnlineHost* (4:28:56 AM): AndrewRogue rolled 1 20-sided die: 17

Chromeus18 (4:29:04 AM): gogo!

AndrewRogue (4:29:05 AM): 19! 19!

SirAlexTheFirst (4:29:24 AM): Nope.

*OnlineHost* (4:29:28 AM): SirAlexTheFirst rolled 1 8-sided die: 3

AndrewRogue (4:29:31 AM): ARRRGH!

SirAlexTheFirst (4:30:04 AM): It just doesn't want to get pulled off.

SirAlexTheFirst (4:30:16 AM): What's Aria's Con mod?

AndrewRogue (4:30:20 AM): +3

SirAlexTheFirst (4:30:48 AM): Mm.

SirAlexTheFirst (4:31:08 AM): Y'all get two more shots before she suffocates outright.

AndrewRogue (4:31:16 AM): Gawd, anyone have a picture of a garrote?

AndrewRogue (4:31:42 AM): OH! I KNOW WHAT TO DO! I KNOW!

AndrewRogue (4:32:35 AM): What are the odds of her managing to bring the bladed end of her guisarme to her neck/the wire?

Adm H Sopko (4:32:49 AM): Like I didn't think about that

SirAlexTheFirst (4:32:51 AM): Uhh...

Chromeus18 (4:32:58 AM): that doesn't sound safe

SirAlexTheFirst (4:32:59 AM): By yourself? Not so good.

Adm H Sopko (4:32:59 AM): With our rolls, I'd slit her throat

SirAlexTheFirst (4:33:34 AM): You can't see the garrote yourself. And it's made of metal.

Adm H Sopko (4:34:02 AM): Two more shots each or two period

AndrewRogue (4:34:37 AM): (Well, the mutable property thing did a number on the diamond necklace just by touching it...)

SirAlexTheFirst (4:34:39 AM): Two more rounds.

SirAlexTheFirst (4:34:49 AM): You can take them individually, or all together

SirAlexTheFirst (4:35:03 AM): Or do something else in those two rounds.

AndrewRogue (4:35:46 AM): Well... a 17 on our strength check didn't work, so all of us pulling on the fucking thing seems out.

Chromeus18 (4:36:30 AM): we each have a chance to roll a natural 20 or this thing isn't coming off

AndrewRogue (4:36:55 AM): ~Please...~ *begging desperately* ~My guisarme, maybe it can melt it... pleeeeease...~

SirAlexTheFirst (4:37:37 AM): Time to choose, Mr. Freeman.

Chromeus18 (4:37:40 AM): (melt it?)

Adm H Sopko (4:38:17 AM): ::Nods, taking her guisarme and pulling the garrote as far out as he can, trying to surgically tap the guisarme against the garrotte to melt it::

Sarcazmo47 (4:38:34 AM): If you could pull it out, it wouldn't really be choking, would it?

AndrewRogue (4:38:48 AM): (The thing does... not quite acid damage. But it melts stuff. Stone statues, diamond necklaces, I'm really hoping magic garrotes...)

SirAlexTheFirst (4:38:53 AM): Make me a dex check.

*OnlineHost* (4:38:58 AM): Adm H Sopko rolled 1 20-sided die: 16

Adm H Sopko (4:39:01 AM): 17

Chromeus18 (4:39:06 AM): (well, it's not magic or dispel would've worked)

SirAlexTheFirst (4:39:28 AM): There's a small hissing sound, then the garrote breaks and drops off of Aria's neck.

Chromeus18 (4:39:30 AM): (unless it's like a garrote +1)

AndrewRogue (4:40:00 AM): *collapses forward, shuddering as she pulls in a desperate breath*

SirAlexTheFirst (4:40:29 AM): http://meeq.net/nicework/Midee_NiceWork.j pg

Adm H Sopko (4:40:45 AM): ::Drops the guisarme, shivering a bit as he comes down from the adreniline rush::

AndrewRogue (4:41:06 AM): (Oh, you're funny Alex. ^_^)

Chromeus18 (4:41:37 AM): "Relax, lass..." *sacs resist elements for Cure Moderate on Aria*

*OnlineHost* (4:41:44 AM): Chromeus18 rolled 2 8-sided dice: 8 5

Chromeus18 (4:43:20 AM): that is, assuming a grey man doesn't come AoO me 48 times

Chromeus18 (4:43:59 AM): "Is everyone all right now?"

SirAlexTheFirst (4:44:11 AM): They are.

Adm H Sopko (4:44:14 AM): ::Nods:: "I hope so..."

SirAlexTheFirst (4:44:35 AM): Everyone is conscious once more, if not well.

AndrewRogue (4:44:41 AM): *shudders as she remains kneeling on the ground*

SirAlexTheFirst (4:45:24 AM): Are we done?

Adm H Sopko (4:45:48 AM): Stopping here?

AndrewRogue (4:45:54 AM): Uuup to everyone else.

Adm H Sopko (4:45:59 AM): I'm good to go on

Chromeus18 (4:46:11 AM): i can go on for awhile longer

AndrewRogue (4:46:11 AM): All I'm doing tomorrow is seeing a school play.

SirAlexTheFirst (4:46:20 AM): Okay.

SirAlexTheFirst (4:46:32 AM): Gwan then

Adm H Sopko (4:47:09 AM): ::Takes out a CMW potion and cracks it open, handing it to Aria with a smile:: "Here... you look like you need this."

AndrewRogue (4:47:59 AM): "Get...get away from me."

Chromeus18 (4:47:59 AM): i'm not out of spells yet you know :P

Adm H Sopko (4:48:35 AM): ::Blinks, backing off a bit:: "Aria... are you ok?"

Chromeus18 (4:49:55 AM): "What's wrong, lass?"

AndrewRogue (4:50:06 AM): "Its my fault. He was here for ME!"

Chromeus18 (4:50:32 AM): "Do you know who he was?"

Adm H Sopko (4:50:37 AM): ::Shivers:: "That... sounds too familiar, Aria... please... stop that line of thought now..."

AndrewRogue (4:51:46 AM): "No. No. No. He was here for me and me alone. I shouldn't have come here, none of you should be here with me."

Adm H Sopko (4:52:28 AM): "Aria... you're sounding much too much like me... that time..."

AndrewRogue (4:53:36 AM): "Verity sent him to... to take me, kill me, something."

Adm H Sopko (4:53:52 AM): "How do you know this, Aria?"

Chromeus18 (4:54:20 AM): (who is Verity, or do we know yet?)

SirAlexTheFirst (4:54:40 AM): Knowledge: History checks.

*OnlineHost* (4:54:54 AM): Adm H Sopko rolled 1 20-sided die: 19

Adm H Sopko (4:54:57 AM): 20

*OnlineHost* (4:55:02 AM): SirAlexTheFirst rolled 2 20-sided dice: 6 11

SirAlexTheFirst (4:55:13 AM): Remember that they max at 10 if you have no ranks

AndrewRogue (4:55:35 AM): (Ah... but Bandon talked about this while we we're in the bar talking to Jaypheth.)

SirAlexTheFirst (4:56:08 AM): If you remember what Bandon said about it, then that's cool too.

Adm H Sopko (4:57:42 AM): "C'mon Aria... how do you know this?"

AndrewRogue (4:57:44 AM): "Please... please get away from me..." *she curls up a bit tighter as she begins to cry*

Adm H Sopko (4:58:43 AM): ::Moves next to her:: "Aria... believe it or not... I said the same exact thing before... under the same circumstances..."

AndrewRogue (4:59:30 AM): *you can't tell if she's listening...but she is leaving an open silence for Hunter to continue*

Adm H Sopko (5:00:57 AM): "I still can't tell what really happened back then.... but when I found you and Jac dead... something inside me snapped. I can't remember it exactly, but I started yelling for Lea and Bandon to get away from me...

Adm H Sopko (5:01:33 AM): Saying I was a jinx because everyone around me kept dying and it was all my fault..."

Chromeus18 (5:02:23 AM): (*casts Dispel Angst*)

AndrewRogue (5:03:52 AM): (Annnd, does Hunter seem to be stopping his story right there? Or does he continue? :p)

Adm H Sopko (5:04:09 AM): (I pause)

AndrewRogue (5:05:47 AM): *she doesn't manage to stop her sobs, but she does manage to speak* "Verity... I... I have to stop him. He... he made Begres vanish... he sent that... that thing."

AndrewRogue (5:06:37 AM): (And how're Aria's parents doing Alex?) :p)

Chromeus18 (5:07:15 AM): http://www.rathergood.com/gaybar/

SirAlexTheFirst (5:07:36 AM): Aria'

SirAlexTheFirst (5:07:46 AM): s parents are completely unsure of what to do.

AndrewRogue (5:07:53 AM): (Heh, I remember that link. That site scares me badly.)

SirAlexTheFirst (5:07:56 AM): Tarin is helping Jess get up.

SirAlexTheFirst (5:08:17 AM): Both of them are letting Hunter appeal to Aria.

Adm H Sopko (5:08:52 AM): ::Nods:: ::Nods:: "We do have to stop him Aria... nothing good will come of breaking down now..." ::Smiles to her:: "I speak from experience."

AndrewRogue (5:11:40 AM): "I'm... I'm afraid Hunter... He got to me so easily..." *she sobs* "He could have killed me with ease... What's to stop him from doing it again..." *she tightens up in her protective huddle* "What's to

AndrewRogue (5:12:28 AM): stop him from doing it to any of you. Mom... dad..." *she breaks into new incoherence. yay.*

Adm H Sopko (5:15:11 AM): ::Puts his arms around her, trying to comfort her:: "C'mon, Aria... we need you to stay with us. We'll deal with this threat. He got the drop on us this time... as long as we're ready for him next time it'll be better than

SirAlexTheFirst (5:15:53 AM): Tarin and Jess also go over to Aria and hug her as best they can.

AndrewRogue (5:16:21 AM): (<_< Jerri feel like joining in the group comfort fest?)

SirAlexTheFirst (5:16:33 AM): "Don't worry, baby. It's all right now. He's gone."

AndrewRogue (5:18:18 AM): *she stays quiet for several long moments as she struggles to compose herself* "I'm sorry... sorry..."

Chromeus18 (5:18:45 AM): *stands there with his eyes not focusing on anything*

AndrewRogue (5:19:51 AM): "Are...are you all allright?"

Adm H Sopko (5:20:20 AM): ::Smiles broadly now that she's coming around:: "It's alright, Aria... We're fine... Maybe you should have a good night's sleep in your own bed to help you with this though..."

AndrewRogue (5:21:57 AM): "No!" *her voice softens instantly* "I don't want to be near here. I... I need to be away from you Mom and Dad... I don't want them in anymore danger..."

SirAlexTheFirst (5:22:21 AM): Terin speaks up. "They won't dare to come back *cough* here."

Adm H Sopko (5:22:48 AM): ::Nods:: "Okay then... we'll get to an inn... I don't think we should travel tonight. You need to recover after this... physically and emotionally."

AndrewRogue (5:24:09 AM): "I doubt they care where I am..." *quietly* "I...I'm fine. Fine enough to leave."

Adm H Sopko (5:25:22 AM): "We're not leaving tonight, Aria, and thats that."

AndrewRogue (5:25:50 AM): *she... doesn't protest*

Chromeus18 (5:25:51 AM): "We should stay away from others tonight, in case that guy comes back."

Adm H Sopko (5:26:05 AM): "Where do you propose?"

SirAlexTheFirst (5:27:22 AM): Aria's parents just hug her tightly.

Chromeus18 (5:27:41 AM): "Well, an inn with a private room. No need to endanger others, or endanger ourselves too immensely by hiking out in the middle of the night to camp."

Chromeus18 (5:28:23 AM): "And we should try to stay in the same room.. perhaps sleepin' in shifts."

Adm H Sopko (5:29:04 AM): ::Pulls back now, letting the family comfort each other as he walks over to sit in a chair:: "Right... about the idea I had in mind... works for me."

AndrewRogue (5:29:37 AM): "I'm so sorry..." *quietly*

Adm H Sopko (5:30:09 AM): (("Oh... its our fault. We ran into his blade, honey"))

AndrewRogue (5:30:56 AM): (Damned stupid parents... prolly delayed the bastard by getting stuck on his damn weapon.)

SirAlexTheFirst (5:32:23 AM): "Don't worry about it, honey."

Chromeus18 (5:32:27 AM): (*dives face first onto a sword tip!*)

Chromeus18 (5:33:30 AM): oh shit, i forgot i have to go pick up a check at 9 am

AndrewRogue (5:33:44 AM): (On a side note, her parents are officially the most stoic people i've ever seen. Someone shows up, mauls they're daughter, schools them and... ew, that sucks.)

AndrewRogue (5:33:58 AM): *their

AndrewRogue (5:34:54 AM): (So, should we call this a stopping point?)

Adm H Sopko (5:35:09 AM): (Sure_

Chromeus18 (5:35:17 AM): yeah, 3 hours of sleep > 0

SirAlexTheFirst (5:35:24 AM): Ow.

SirAlexTheFirst (5:35:31 AM): Good game.

AndrewRogue (5:35:38 AM): (Yuck. *pities Chrome*)

SirAlexTheFirst (5:35:51 AM): XP

Chromeus18 (5:36:12 AM): as long as i'm not asked to stay and help with anything though, i can come right back and sleep

SirAlexTheFirst (5:36:17 AM): 1000 to you guys.

Chromeus18 (5:36:25 AM): whee!

Adm H Sopko (5:36:25 AM): ::Level up music plays!:

AndrewRogue (5:36:30 AM): (Yay for Chrome, and Yay for exp!)

AndrewRogue (5:36:59 AM): (Dun du du du dun, du dududuuuuun!)

Adm H Sopko (5:37:08 AM): Soppy levels up! Takes on a Fighter level! Takes feat Improved Toughness! Adds his 3 skill points to Jump!

*OnlineHost* (5:37:32 AM): Adm H Sopko rolled 2 10-sided dice: 4 5

Adm H Sopko (5:37:41 AM): 14 shiny new HP

AndrewRogue (5:37:43 AM): 4 skill points Soppy.

Adm H Sopko (5:37:47 AM): 2+1

Adm H Sopko (5:37:50 AM): 3

AndrewRogue (5:38:06 AM): 2 for fighter 1 Intelligence Mod 1 For Being Human Durn It

Adm H Sopko (5:38:23 AM): Ah... then I've been shortchanging myself on skill points this whole time

(5:38:23 AM) coughingpuppy has left the room.

Adm H Sopko (5:38:26 AM): I'm up to...

Adm H Sopko (5:38:39 AM): 73 HP

AndrewRogue (5:39:01 AM): Damn, you've rolled well for HP.

Adm H Sopko (5:39:17 AM): Crappy roll now, but Improved Toughness adds 7

Sarcazmo47 (5:39:21 AM): Soppy, how did you get 14 HP?

Chromeus18 (5:39:25 AM): lvl 7 now?

Adm H Sopko (5:39:29 AM): And an additional 1 per level!

AndrewRogue (5:39:49 AM): *smacks self for forgetting Soppy just picked up IT >_<*

Adm H Sopko (5:40:08 AM): Improved Toughness: Prereq- Fort +4. Adds 7 HP at choosing, and an additional 1 HP every level after that

Sarcazmo47 (5:40:09 AM): Is that a 3.5 feat?

Adm H Sopko (5:40:12 AM): Yes

Sarcazmo47 (5:40:16 AM): Ah.

Sarcazmo47 (5:40:25 AM): Doesn't even require toughness.

Adm H Sopko (5:40:29 AM): Nope

Adm H Sopko (5:40:46 AM): ::Adds +2 to Fort as well::

Adm H Sopko (5:40:57 AM): ::And another point to BAB::

AndrewRogue (5:41:37 AM): That was a scary session >_<

Chromeus18 (5:41:39 AM): i'm gonna redo my entire spell list

Adm H Sopko (5:41:42 AM): Yeah

Sarcazmo47 (5:43:03 AM): Scary?

Adm H Sopko (5:43:23 AM): Guy comes, OHKOs Aria... yeah, that is scary

AndrewRogue (5:43:37 AM): :p Actually, 4HKO :

Sarcazmo47 (5:43:48 AM): Well, five if you count the garrotting.

Adm H Sopko (5:43:55 AM): Naw... you just got lucky... he put you under with his first attack

SirAlexTheFirst (5:44:15 AM): Like the picture said, nice work.

Sarcazmo47 (5:44:16 AM): Ummm....no, he really didn't.

Adm H Sopko (5:44:17 AM): Unless you're being technical with the amount of hits in his attack<G>

SirAlexTheFirst (5:44:35 AM): You survived the attack of the NINJA OMG

Adm H Sopko (5:45:00 AM): Heh... were we close at all to killing the bastich?

AndrewRogue (5:45:02 AM): :p You're mean Alex. Go natural 20 stabilization ^_~

SirAlexTheFirst (5:45:09 AM): Sort of close.

Chromeus18 (5:45:11 AM): quick, we need to get rid of the statues of shadow and light!

SirAlexTheFirst (5:45:18 AM): He was hurting... if you could HIT him again...

Adm H Sopko (5:45:23 AM): =-P

Sarcazmo47 (5:45:34 AM): Thirty-something damage will do that to most anyone.

Adm H Sopko (5:45:40 AM): Hunter was too pissed to do a focused attack

SirAlexTheFirst (5:45:40 AM): Indeed.

Adm H Sopko (5:46:23 AM): ::Distributes 6 more skill points since he missed them all these levels::

AndrewRogue (5:46:54 AM): Well, at least Aria got one good shot in on him.

Adm H Sopko (5:47:00 AM): I... cut his arm<G>

Adm H Sopko (5:47:18 AM): But it was REALLY deep!

SirAlexTheFirst (5:47:39 AM): So.

SirAlexTheFirst (5:47:42 AM): Comments?

Adm H Sopko (5:47:55 AM): None. Game is starting to pick up again. I'm happy

SirAlexTheFirst (5:47:58 AM): Already got roasted by Kirk for using certain names.

AndrewRogue (5:48:06 AM): Scary. And I hate fucking garrotes. Damnit ^_~

Sarcazmo47 (5:48:08 AM): *roasts*

SirAlexTheFirst (5:48:13 AM): Already got roasted by Soppy for throwing insanely difficult fights around

Chromeus18 (5:48:33 AM): *roasts Alex for looking like a marshmallow*

Chromeus18 (5:48:38 AM): mmm smores

Sarcazmo47 (5:48:43 AM): Twas a locking garrote, actually. A mere DC 25 disable device.

Adm H Sopko (5:48:47 AM): There is a difference between difficult and OMG WE'RE BEING RAPED difficult<G>

AndrewRogue (5:49:12 AM): Well, to be honest, that was one of the better fights :p Once the surprise mauling ended, it seemed like we sorta stood a chance.

AndrewRogue (5:49:21 AM): ^_^

Sarcazmo47 (5:49:35 AM): Assasins aren't meant for stand-up fights.

Adm H Sopko (5:49:36 AM): Yeah... mostly because he was surprised and wounded. I think we're lucky we even hit him at all

SirAlexTheFirst (5:49:41 AM): When a rogueish type gets the drop on you, then yeah, the first round tends to be RAPE! SMASH! SNEAK!

AndrewRogue (5:50:26 AM): Whee, Nimbus of Light proved useful :p

Chromeus18 (5:50:26 AM): *loves rogues*

Adm H Sopko (5:50:31 AM): 6d6 Sneak attack? Jeez

AndrewRogue (5:50:42 AM): 2d6 x3 actually

Adm H Sopko (5:50:52 AM): ::Nods:: It was one of those

Sarcazmo47 (5:51:05 AM): No, if he had taken a sneak attack with each attack, it would have been 6d6 x 3.

Adm H Sopko (5:51:06 AM): So Sneak attack counts to attacks with all your weapons?

Chromeus18 (5:51:12 AM): yep

Sarcazmo47 (5:51:32 AM): He only took the extra damage for the one attack.

Adm H Sopko (5:51:34 AM): ::Imagines Hunter sneak attacking with 4 longsword strikes::

SirAlexTheFirst (5:51:46 AM): Sneak attack is something added on to your attack action. And only one attack action.

Chromeus18 (5:51:52 AM): i smell a Chrome :P

SirAlexTheFirst (5:51:52 AM): It doesn't work that way.

AndrewRogue (5:52:10 AM): Ahhhh... Alex is in THAT school of thought. NM my 2d6 comment.

Adm H Sopko (5:52:15 AM): So he was a 6d6?

SirAlexTheFirst (5:52:29 AM): 6d6 were rolled.

SirAlexTheFirst (5:52:33 AM): Beyond that, heh.

Adm H Sopko (5:52:54 AM): Heh... maybe we're lucky we hit him at all... I think we weer

Chromeus18 (5:53:59 AM): if he woulda stuck around i would've searing lighted his ass

Chromeus18 (5:54:07 AM): bam pow, 3d8 damage biznitch!

AndrewRogue (5:54:13 AM): Heh.

Adm H Sopko (5:54:23 AM): Heh

AndrewRogue (5:54:48 AM): Soo... what scary abilities were skipped due to Llama presence Alex? ^_~

SirAlexTheFirst (5:55:03 AM): Nothing.

AndrewRogue (5:55:15 AM): Ouch.

AndrewRogue (5:55:19 AM): ^_~

Sarcazmo47 (5:55:34 AM): There was some divine lovin', though.

SirAlexTheFirst (5:55:42 AM): Only thing they changed was that Aria's parents had a chance to actually do something, if they could survive and hit him.

Adm H Sopko (5:55:56 AM): Soo... I'm... 6750 from next level<G>

AndrewRogue (5:56:19 AM): Yeah. Lucky, lucky 20 saved our collective asses.

Adm H Sopko (5:56:27 AM): Yep

SirAlexTheFirst (5:56:58 AM): Any more questions?

SirAlexTheFirst (5:57:02 AM): Comments?

SirAlexTheFirst (5:57:04 AM): Flames?

Adm H Sopko (5:57:12 AM): Nope.

Sarcazmo47 (5:57:20 AM): Something that might be useful to note - he did seem to be there for a reason, and he's not dead.

AndrewRogue (5:57:21 AM): Annnd, I managed to use my brain for a short enough moment to think of using the Guisarme. I'm so... well, proud ain't the word. And nope, I'm good I think.

SirAlexTheFirst (5:57:34 AM): Alive is the word.

Adm H Sopko (5:57:35 AM): DUH, Kirk

AndrewRogue (5:57:40 AM): Oh! I know why he was there! I know! ^_^

AndrewRogue (5:57:47 AM): Well... sorta <_<

Chromeus18 (5:57:53 AM): well, we'll get him next time

Sarcazmo47 (5:57:59 AM): Awsome. I don't even know that.

Adm H Sopko (5:58:10 AM): I thought of using my kukri to cut it... I figured I'd kill her though

SirAlexTheFirst (5:58:13 AM): Actually, I'd be amazed if you had any clue as to the real reason he was there.

Adm H Sopko (5:58:19 AM): One of the first things I thought of, actually

SirAlexTheFirst (5:58:20 AM): ...yet.

AndrewRogue (5:58:43 AM): Welll... I have a teensy-weensy vague idea <_< Okay, fine, I just wanted to sound smart ;_;

Chromeus18 (5:58:52 AM): well i tried dispelling a device :P

SirAlexTheFirst (5:58:58 AM): It wasn't magic.

SirAlexTheFirst (5:59:05 AM): Just a locking garrote.

SirAlexTheFirst (5:59:09 AM): Entirely mechanical.

Chromeus18 (5:59:19 AM): yes i know, i don't have detect magic prepared though, so it was worth a shot

Chromeus18 (6:00:26 AM): and now i'm off, sleep beckons, and a wad of cash to blow on booze and women awaits!

Adm H Sopko (6:00:42 AM): Later! Enjoy the boozing and whoring!

AndrewRogue (6:00:42 AM): Yay! Night Chrome.

SirAlexTheFirst (6:00:46 AM): Night

Chromeus18 (6:00:54 AM): and those other things, like rent and bills -_-

Chromeus18 (6:00:56 AM): g'nite

SirAlexTheFirst (6:00:57 AM): Nothing else, anyone?

Chromeus18 (6:01:02 AM): good game Alex

Adm H Sopko (6:01:16 AM): Nope. Night all... can someone send me the entire thing next week when I get back to college?

Adm H Sopko (6:01:24 AM): I left my regular computer there

(6:01:24 AM) Chromeus18 has left the room.

SirAlexTheFirst (6:01:25 AM): Yep.

Sarcazmo47 (6:01:42 AM): I can light a penguin on fire for you.
