You have just entered room "AND."
AndrewRogue: Rah?
AndrewRogue: Gilder > Vyse
Sarcazmo47: I liked purple.
Sarcazmo47: Yellow is a good color, too.
Adm H Sopko: CHANGE YOUR FONT COLOR TO SUIT ME, KIRK
Sarcazmo47: OKAY
AndrewRogue: BRB
Sarcazmo47: I THINK I'LL JUST TYPE IN CAPS FROM NOW ON
Adm H Sopko: Well die...
Sarcazmo47: Okay.
SirAlexTheFirst: Be careful what you wish for.
Adm H Sopko: Oh boy...
Adm H Sopko: Ya had to call game just as I call my girlfriend, eh Alex?<G>
SirAlexTheFirst: Oh?
SirAlexTheFirst: Nevermind then.
SirAlexTheFirst: Sorry.
SirAlexTheFirst has left the room.
Adm H Sopko: ...
Adm H Sopko: ...
Adm H Sopko: Well crap
AndrewRogue: ...
SirAlexTheFirst has entered the room.
SirAlexTheFirst: Er?
AndrewRogue: Alex, don't leave ;_;
AndrewRogue: I have no friends. They all abandoned me. I need you! <3
Sarcazmo47: That's inteeresting.
Sarcazmo47: Wow, Andrew.
Sarcazmo47: Don't get too creepy or anything.
SirAlexTheFirst: I'm feeling sick and should sleep. Soppy and probably Kirk are on the phone with their respective girls, though Kirk is also talking about Jediing.
SirAlexTheFirst: We still want game?
AndrewRogue: I do.
SirAlexTheFirst: Masochists.
Adm H Sopko: If you're sick, you should sleep
AndrewRogue: But Soppy raises a point.
SirAlexTheFirst: Mrr.
AndrewRogue: If you're sick Alex, I will just continue to sit here and play one of my gajillion unbeat games.
SirAlexTheFirst: Like Silent Hill 2? *weekly hoper clause*
AndrewRogue: Hrr... I should do that.
SirAlexTheFirst: Heh well.
SirAlexTheFirst: Game or SH2?
AndrewRogue: I'd prefer game tonight honestly.
AndrewRogue: I'm about sick of VGs today.
SirAlexTheFirst: Okay then.
SirAlexTheFirst: Don't mind my Star Wars fanaticism tonight.
AndrewRogue: I won't. I'm immune to it.
Sarcazmo47: Star Wars is always good.
SirAlexTheFirst: We're all on a Star Wars kick here.
AndrewRogue: Blaine mentioned such
SirAlexTheFirst: I was playing Jedi Outcast, Mark was playing KOTOR, and Blaine was playing Neverwinter Nights with a guy wielding an enchanted rapier that looks like a lightsaber.
AndrewRogue: Heeh.
Sarcazmo47: Mark and his fucking Light Side.
Sarcazmo47: I'ma kill him.
SirAlexTheFirst: Hey. You shut up.
SirAlexTheFirst: Light Side 4 Life.
Adm H Sopko: NON-JEDI FOR LIFE!
Sarcazmo47: DEATH FIELD
Sarcazmo47: Oh, wait, you're all dead and I'm at full HP.
SirAlexTheFirst: HEAL
Sarcazmo47: Whups!
Sarcazmo47: Revan's Robes!
Sarcazmo47: Oh, dang, 30 STR!
Sarcazmo47: Oh, dang, 45 AC!
SirAlexTheFirst: Well, in KOTOR, dark side is slightly better.
SirAlexTheFirst: I guess.
SirAlexTheFirst: In Outcast....
Sarcazmo47: Besides that, the Sith Code is better than the Jedi Code.
SirAlexTheFirst: Not true.
Sarcazmo47: Yeah...yeah it is. Not a statement about the Jedi or the Sith, just the code.
SirAlexTheFirst: Actually the neutral powers are the best ones.
Sarcazmo47: The Sith Code is....better.
Sarcazmo47: BUT ANYWAY
SirAlexTheFirst: I mean, really, the dark side powers are all slightly cooler but not more useful versions of the neutral powers.
Sarcazmo47: That's why Jolee is the second-best character in that game.
Sarcazmo47: The best, of course, is HK-47.
SirAlexTheFirst: Speed > Dark Rage. Push and Pull > Grip. Throw Saber > Lightning.
SirAlexTheFirst: Anyways.
SirAlexTheFirst: Game?
AndrewRogue: If you're up for it.
SirAlexTheFirst: Okay.
SirAlexTheFirst: Finish up Aria here?
AndrewRogue: Rah. Sure. Unless someone else wants to go.
Adm H Sopko: Sounds good
SirAlexTheFirst: All right.
SirAlexTheFirst: ~~~~BEGIN~~~~
AndrewRogue: *stands naked, broken, exhausted, desperate, her broken leg buckling as she begins to sag* "N-nellix?"
SirAlexTheFirst: After going through a whole lot of really weird stuff, Aria - still naked, still dead, still in pain - has arrived in the ruins of a city, and is entering the cathedral at the center.
SirAlexTheFirst: Right.
SirAlexTheFirst: Nellix stares at you, in surprise.
AndrewRogue: *whatever strength drove her fades... her leg gives out, the pain overwhelms her and she falls on the gound* "Why... why are you here?"
SirAlexTheFirst: "Why... why are you here?" Nellix is echoing your words, or perhaps did not hear you. He takes a step towards you.
AndrewRogue: "My... patron..." *she shudders violently sagging further* "After I... I died... she sought to... destroy my... soul... for... betraying her..."
SirAlexTheFirst: A haunted expression passes over his face before it returns to its usual calmness. "So, you too have fallen. I know too well what you have come to say. Begone."
AndrewRogue: "What?"
SirAlexTheFirst: He sighs. "Poor girl. There was nothing I can do for her. I know that's not true. But in the larger picture, it is. Her parents will mourn, as will her friends. Hopefully someone will take her place."
AndrewRogue: "What are you... what are you talking about...?" *she sounds desperate* "Please... please don't do this..." *she struggles to rise to her feet unsuccessfully* "Don't abandon me here... please... I... I died
AndrewRogue: for... for your pillars. Will killed... he killed me because... I was doing what... what you wanted us... to... They think... they think you're doing harm to Amaryllis..."
SirAlexTheFirst: "Will is misguided, but there are those who have cause to think so. What would you have me do?"
SirAlexTheFirst: (Sorry for lag. I'm tired, and having to think very carefully. And no, the RPGmon is actually helping me concentrate a bit.)
AndrewRogue: "Take me from here... anywhere... please..." *she actually starts crying, or going through the motions, being dead and all* "Or at least... tell me where I am... and... and why..."
SirAlexTheFirst: Nellix sits down in the aisle, near the altar, and stares. "You are a figment of my guilt and the pain of the souls who were held here, come to haunt me. Many of your kind have come here. They vanish after a time."
Sarcazmo47: So this is what Nellix does in his off time.
AndrewRogue: "Nellix...please..." *she raises to her feet, biting back a cry of pain as she struggles to move forward* "Its me... Arianna... I'm here... pleeeease end this punishment!" *she drops back to the ground
Adm H Sopko: (...)
AndrewRogue: several feet from him, crying* "Please don't ignore me!" *and tenatively shoots forward the image of the creature and what it was... attempting... the words of her patron*
SirAlexTheFirst: Nellix remains calm. "Yes, I know what she has there, and what she does. I couldn't pull her- you - out of there. Nothing can."
blaine077713770 has entered the room.
AndrewRogue: "Nellix... I'm free... I escaped... I...I killed it..." *she again forces herself to her feet to stagger towards him* "Don't do this to me... you're the only one here...I've lost everyone else...that thing..."
blaine077713770: (working on paper guys...response time might be slow...if i'm taking a long time, AIM me...)
AndrewRogue: *she pushes out with the image of crushing its skull... its cessation of movement... climbing... the throne room... the desperate walk...*
SirAlexTheFirst: "That's..... not....."
AndrewRogue: *she continues the agonizingly slow movement* "This...is...me! If you... can't do anything... then at least... explain this... to me... Why am I here... what did I... what did I do?"
SirAlexTheFirst: "This is hell. You were entrapped by your patron and sent here to be destroyed. If you are speaking truth... then you escaped, somehow, and found your way here."
AndrewRogue: "She... entrapped me and... sent me to hell?"
SirAlexTheFirst: He stands up and begins walking towards you, slowly.. "Many have been entrapped so. None have escaped. If you have... then... how?"
AndrewRogue: "I don't... know..." *she manages a few more steps forward looking at him pitifully* "I was... desperate... I wasn't even thinking... I hit it... drowned it... smashed it..." *she begins shaking
SirAlexTheFirst: "Either you're another spectre, more clever than the rest... or you're telling the truth, and have a greater will to live and survive and return than anyone else she has ever snatched."
SirAlexTheFirst: He waves his hand at you, and you float up off the ground and onto a pew. "I haven't come this far by being guillible. But... I want to believe that you, of all people, escaped. Rest."
AndrewRogue: *quietly, weakly* "I'm... not... a spectre..." *she ends up laid out across the pew, trying to cease the shaking, resist the urge to curl up and die*
SirAlexTheFirst: He sits down next to you, and holds your hand gently. "Then, what do you want me to do?"
AndrewRogue: "Anything... just don't... leave me here alone... Take me from here... end the pain... just don't... leave me... alone..."
SirAlexTheFirst: "I'll stay here with you, then. Think about the pain. Try to make it vanish."
AndrewRogue: "How...?"
SirAlexTheFirst: "Concentrate. Put your mind at peace, and tell it to stop feeling pain. She shouldn't be able to do anything to you anymore."
SirAlexTheFirst: His voice is soothing now, and apologetic.
AndrewRogue: *she... sort of nods and closes her eyes. She focuses wholly on the sound of his voice... the comfort to know someone is there... slowly, slowly she stops shaking as she tells herself to stop feeling it*
SirAlexTheFirst: Sure enough, the pain fades away as soon as you tell it to do so.
AndrewRogue: "It... it doesn't hurt..." *weakly, almost joyfully*
SirAlexTheFirst: "Good. I'm sorry for doubting you." Nellix is quiet after that.
AndrewRogue: "Why did you think I was a spectre?"
SirAlexTheFirst: "Some have come here before. Blaming me... accusing me..... things like that. It's hell. They're all parts of myself, though. I don't come here often."
AndrewRogue: "...if they come out to do such... why do you come here?"
SirAlexTheFirst: "Because I am not always perfect." His hand strokes yours gently. "Occasionally, it helps to hear them. I will not become a tyrant like.... nevermind."
AndrewRogue: "What?"
SirAlexTheFirst: "I am not a god. I am not infallible. Though I possess greater power than any other entity in this world, it is my duty to the true light and the true God to wield this responsibly. That is why I come here."
AndrewRogue: "You're not a god?"
SirAlexTheFirst: "I am not omnipotent, omniscient, or omnipresent. I cannot turn back time. Neither can Gabriel, or any of the rest."
AndrewRogue: *she blinks tiredly, not seeming to quite understand* "So... you come here to remind yourself of... why you do good?"
SirAlexTheFirst: "Yes. And the consequences of not doing good."
AndrewRogue: *she nods* "I... sort of understand..."
SirAlexTheFirst: "I have no idea what to do with you now, for example."
AndrewRogue: "Mmm?" *her body tenses and a look of nervousness comes into her eyes*
blaine077713770: (we could build a bridge out of 'er)
SirAlexTheFirst: Nellix continues to stroke your hand soothingly. "You fell off a city. You're dead, and supposed to become truly dead. But you've escaped that, and.... now what? What would you like to do?"
AndrewRogue: *there's a notable quaver to her voice* "Do I... do I have to stay here? In hell?"
SirAlexTheFirst: "No. I can take you somewhere else, if you wish."
AndrewRogue: *she's quiet for a long while* "Can I go back?"
SirAlexTheFirst: "That's what I'm not sure of. You're still dead. I could try to give you a new body, but that's... not safe, considering that she may be waiting for you."
AndrewRogue: "...who is she? Was what I did... really so bad?"
SirAlexTheFirst: He pauses. "She is the being that most people name Sahkmet."
AndrewRogue: (Religion Lore: 2 Applicable here?)
SirAlexTheFirst: Yes.
AndrewRogue: (Then how much does Aria-dear know about Sahk-y?)
SirAlexTheFirst: (She's an evil goddess rarely spoken of.)
AndrewRogue: *she sounds vaguely horrified* "I... Sahkmet is my... my patron?"
SirAlexTheFirst: "Was."
AndrewRogue: *she nods vaguely* "Right... was. I... gods I'm a fool..." *she sounds aghast. She finally sighs weakly* "What can I do Nellix? If I go back... you think she'll... she'll do this again?"
SirAlexTheFirst: "She shouldn't be able to do anything. Yet, she can. I don't know what her limits are, or how she can still talk to mortals. That is what you must find out."
AndrewRogue: "I... don't think I could bear this again..."
SirAlexTheFirst: Nellix laughs, suddenly. "Listen. Hear how foolish I am. You mustn't do anything; perhaps you can't."
AndrewRogue: "What?"
SirAlexTheFirst: "I apologize for my disbelief."
AndrewRogue: "Its all right... I... I understand why you didn't."
SirAlexTheFirst: You see Nellix shake his head. "You have... limitless potential."
AndrewRogue: *she finally sits up weakly, holding onto his hand* "I... what do you mean? I'm not understanding..."
SirAlexTheFirst: "In addition to what you have accomplished in Amaryllis, you have the strength of will to escape the pits of hell. None before have. Should you go back... you could accomplish many things."
AndrewRogue: "I... I... do want to go back. I want to be with my friends."
AndrewRogue: "I... want to be with Hunter."
SirAlexTheFirst: "I know. How much risk are you willing to take to accomplish this, though?"
Dark Japheth has entered the room.
Dark Japheth: Hi there
AndrewRogue: (Score 1 for Gorth)
Dark Japheth: (What?)
AndrewRogue: (Her patron is Sahkmet.) "I... I don't want to have to face this again..."
AndrewRogue: (*was)
Dark Japheth: (Rock the fuck on, I knew it! I thought Karnage at first, because Karnage is wicked and wanted to purify Amaryllis despite being dead, which made it unlikely... but nothing fit so perfectly as Sakhmet)
SirAlexTheFirst: Nellix remains silent.
AndrewRogue: "I... think this will haunt me for a long time..." *she sets her jaw* "But if I must... I... I WILL face this again."
SirAlexTheFirst: "And under what circumstances will you die?"
AndrewRogue: "What?" *she looks... confused*
SirAlexTheFirst: "When will you be content to die, and not want to return to life? Will you ever?"
AndrewRogue: *she looks down sadly* "That's... a difficult question."
AndrewRogue: "Is... anyone ever content to die Nellix?" *its sort of a sad curiosity*
SirAlexTheFirst: "Many. Perhaps it comes with age; find an elderly person sometime and ask them if they are content to do so."
AndrewRogue: "I... can't answer that Nellix. I don't know when I'll be content. Maybe with age. Maybe when I feel I... I've finished what I need to." *she... laughs in a way* "Its hard to think about being dead so soon...
AndrewRogue: even having it happen... happen to me twice."
SirAlexTheFirst: Nellix stops massaging your hand. "Twice?"
Adm H Sopko: (Whoa... hand massaging her, are you, nellix? Thats a huge turnon for most girls)
Adm H Sopko: (And I speak from massive experience)
Dark Japheth: (It is true. not as much of a turn on as the thought of severing a man's genitalia, but pretty damn close)
AndrewRogue: (And Aria's naked! Rah! But dead, so it probably doesn't matter so much) *she closes her eyes* "In the Hummer cave, I was killed by a statue. Sahkmet... tricked me and brought me back to... to serve her."
SirAlexTheFirst: "No, you didn't."
AndrewRogue: "What do you mean? It..." *her hand uncomfortably touches her neck*
SirAlexTheFirst: "You did not die there. I would have felt it. I don't think even she could keep something like that from me - she could not conceal Jacynth's death then."
AndrewRogue: "I'm... the others found my body though..."
AndrewRogue: "I suppose it doesn't really matter though. It... it served her purpose, whatever happened."
SirAlexTheFirst: Nellix begins the hand massage again, slowly. "She is... subtle. And not easily found."
AndrewRogue: *she squeezes his hand softly* "I was truly a fool... wasn't I?"
SirAlexTheFirst: "You have done a few foolish things. But nothing wrong."
Dark Japheth: (nellix... is added to the group of people who love Aria)
AndrewRogue: "Thank you... Nellix."
SirAlexTheFirst: "Don't worry. Everything will be all right."
AndrewRogue: "Maybe it was just chance but... thank you for being here. Thank you for listening."
SirAlexTheFirst: "If fate has a physical form, irony may, too... " he murmers, then starts to hum a song. Int check.
*OnlineHost*: AndrewRogue rolled 1 20-sided die: 18
AndrewRogue: 19
SirAlexTheFirst: You recognize it. It's the Hummer song, but slightly different. A bit lighter.
AndrewRogue: *she looks at him curiously* "That's... its almost the same thing the Hummers hum."
SirAlexTheFirst: He speaks, in a lullaby tone, while continuing to hum. "I know. They are distortions in a void of despair, a twisted reflection of the things around them."
AndrewRogue: "Are they... really generated by a young girl?" *oddly, she does start to sound sleepy*
SirAlexTheFirst: "I don't know."
AndrewRogue: "What was Will talking about... the Ten Sounding Pillars?" *its sudden, like a thought just so happening to cross her mind*
SirAlexTheFirst: "They are ten beings who are being slowly infused with power and attempting to destroy the world."
AndrewRogue: "Then... they are part of what must be stopped?"
SirAlexTheFirst: "Yes." He continues humming.
AndrewRogue: "Its a nice song..." *she slumps over a bit to lean against Nellix, closing her eyes.* "Its so peaceful."
SirAlexTheFirst: "It is. Ancient, too."
SirAlexTheFirst: "Do you want a new body?"
AndrewRogue: "...is it wrong to want to go back?"
SirAlexTheFirst: "I would not say so."
AndrewRogue: *she is silent for a long moment* "Yes... yes I do."
SirAlexTheFirst: He chuckles, still humming. "That is not what I meant. I can try to send you back in this body, or create a new one for you."
AndrewRogue: "I like mine... is it important? Getting a new one?"
SirAlexTheFirst: "Not terribly important."
SirAlexTheFirst: "You'd prefer this one, then?"
AndrewRogue: *she nods softly*
SirAlexTheFirst: "Tell me when you wish to return, then."
AndrewRogue: "Whenever you can."
SirAlexTheFirst: "Prepare yourself, then. This may be painful - I don't know."
AndrewRogue: *weakly* "I wish you sounded more confident. It almost makes me wish I chose new body." *but she nods nonetheless*
SirAlexTheFirst: Nellix ends the song and stands up, setting you down gently.
SirAlexTheFirst: Whatcha looking at?
Dark Japheth: (Text.)
SirAlexTheFirst: (Die a lot.)
AndrewRogue: Nellix. And his fine half-elve... I'll stop. Seriously. Nellix.
blaine077713770: (night guys...must sleep...class...morning...)
blaine077713770 has left the room.
SirAlexTheFirst: (Night Blaine)
AndrewRogue: (*apologies for eating another session*)
SirAlexTheFirst: His head is bowed and his hands folded, and he's murmering something, a prayer or an incantation.
SirAlexTheFirst: You can Listen check if you really want to hear it.
*OnlineHost*: AndrewRogue rolled 1 20-sided die: 20
SirAlexTheFirst: (And I wasn't gonna run anything else tonight, so this is really more like a bonus game.)
AndrewRogue: Fear my skill at owning unimportant checks <_<
SirAlexTheFirst: (Too tired... not up for massive RP confusion...)
Dark Japheth: (It appears she hears him.)
SirAlexTheFirst: It's in a language you don't understand. Text following as soon as I can find it.
AndrewRogue: No problem.
Sarcazmo47: Good ol' Latin.
Sarcazmo47: Everything is cool in Latin.
SirAlexTheFirst: "Agnus dei, qui tollis peccata mundi, dona eis requiem. Agnus dei, qui tollis peccata mundi, dona eis requiem sempiternam."
Adm H Sopko: Except Jehovah
Dark Japheth: If its the Requiem, I have it as a link.
SirAlexTheFirst: He repeats this over and over.
SirAlexTheFirst: (Silly MS Word.)
SirAlexTheFirst: (Word Up, 8.0. Write letters to the homies and tricks, yo)
AndrewRogue: (*shoots Alex*)
AndrewRogue: (None of that now.)
SirAlexTheFirst: As he is speaking, Nellix's face and skin begins morph, and you can make out a cerulean glow through the skin.
Dark Japheth: (Mmm, the lamb of god. Tasty.)
SirAlexTheFirst: The cathedral starts to fill with mist, and as Nellix finishes, his eyes open - they are elongated, and shining bright, pure white.
SirAlexTheFirst: Then the mist covers everything.
SirAlexTheFirst: ~~~~END~~~~
Dark Japheth: Sw33t sc3n3
AndrewRogue: Yaaaay!
Adm H Sopko: Hooray!
Adm H Sopko: That woulda been funny. "Hunter, it's me, Aria!"
Dark Japheth: "Just in the body of a 35 year old male bodybuilder!"
AndrewRogue: *dies*
Dark Japheth: Alex would have earned 25 sadism points there
Dark Japheth: 'twould have been awexome.
AndrewRogue: I am sad to have given up the ability to have a... I dunno... positive Dex modifier :p
Dark Japheth: Its because you have low wisdom.
Dark Japheth: :P
Dark Japheth: Low wisdom- "I want my body, the one with the inner ear problems and balance issues!"
Adm H Sopko: Who knows... Nellix may fix it
AndrewRogue: Eh... I dunno. From the standpoint, your body is something you're REALLY attached to.
Dark Japheth: Yeah
Adm H Sopko: I'm attached to my brain
Dark Japheth: Damn fuckin straight, any of my characters would have taken it
Adm H Sopko: it's what I use to think
Dark Japheth: Fuck my brain, I want it in a jar
Dark Japheth: somewhere far away from my body.
SirAlexTheFirst: Speaking of which
AndrewRogue: But, for better or worse, it seems Aria lives again.
AndrewRogue: Now I hope she doesn't go to hell again, that was stressful ;_;
SirAlexTheFirst: Aria loses 2 strength and 1 con.
AndrewRogue: Yay! My stats are back where they started!
Adm H Sopko: Ouch
AndrewRogue: Not that big an ouch. Amusingly, I've gained exactly 2 Str and 1 Con over the course of the campaign :p
Adm H Sopko: Heh
AndrewRogue: Oh... HP roll for leveling. Go!
*OnlineHost*: AndrewRogue rolled 2 20-sided dice: 2 2
AndrewRogue: IT BURNS
Adm H Sopko: HHAHAHAHAHAH
AndrewRogue: AIM BETRAYS ME
SirAlexTheFirst: Did I say you could level yet?
SirAlexTheFirst: :P
Adm H Sopko: Make him keep the roll when he does!
AndrewRogue: Er... well, to be exact, last session you said I gained a level <_<
AndrewRogue: I'll, uh, happily wait of course :p
Dark Japheth: By the way
Dark Japheth: thats 2d20
Dark Japheth: So the rolls don't count, homes.
Adm H Sopko: They do
Dark Japheth: Unless it has 1d20 as hit die
Adm H Sopko: Thats his HD
Dark Japheth: Holy becrappen
AndrewRogue: Well... actually...
AndrewRogue: <_<
Dark Japheth: Fuckin awesome, you rock
AndrewRogue: So, uh, seriously there Alex. Want me to wait until I'm sure I'm alive again to level?
AndrewRogue: <_<
SirAlexTheFirst: I'd prefer it.
SirAlexTheFirst: Since I'm still working out what changes are happenin to ya.
AndrewRogue: *strikes those horribly dubious rolls from his memory, trusting Alex to insure that his revival is horribly cruel* Bigger bust!
AndrewRogue: <_<
AndrewRogue: >_>
AndrewRogue: <_<
Dark Japheth: Lol
Adm H Sopko: Hunter wouldn't mind that...
Dark Japheth: Yeah, we don't want EVERY SINGLE MALE IN AMARYLLIS FALLING IN LOVE WITH THE FEMALE PC
AndrewRogue: Damnit, now I can't stop laughing imagining that conversation.
Sarcazmo47: Hey.
Sarcazmo47: Verity doesn't like Aria at all.
Adm H Sopko: "Umm... Aria? You're umm... you're busted."
AndrewRogue: PUN'D
Dark Japheth: lol
SirAlexTheFirst: Heh.
SirAlexTheFirst: We could do that.
SirAlexTheFirst: What DOES Aria want her body to be more like?
AndrewRogue: *sweatdrop*
Adm H Sopko: Aria wants to pursue her dream of being a ballerina
Adm H Sopko: So 20 Dex!
AndrewRogue: Er... you're going to have to give me a minute of three here to consider that one Alex. I just slipped out of Arianna mode.
Dark Japheth: Meanwhile, in chromes game, I'm not punning, I'm busy manipulating physics to my advantage. It'd have worked WAY better if we had a door.
Dark Japheth: :P
AndrewRogue: I wonder if I want to know <_<
AndrewRogue: Gogo Physics!
Adm H Sopko: Yes
Dark Japheth: You want to know.
Dark Japheth: Basically, think of it this way.
Dark Japheth: Room filled with kobolds.
Dark Japheth: We are paid to eliminate said kobolds.
Dark Japheth: Had there been a door
Adm H Sopko: But I have it on Chrome's authority if we spread the oil evenly, and explode the fireball right, we can get them al
Dark Japheth: We open it quietly...
Dark Japheth: Throw in a shitload of oil and flammable things
Dark Japheth: Throw in a torch
Dark Japheth: Shut door
Adm H Sopko: We have a fireball scroll though
Dark Japheth: The fire burns up all the oxygen in the room
Dark Japheth: And then, they die from suffocation.
Dark Japheth: We leave the door shut
Adm H Sopko: There is more than likely another way out
Dark Japheth: Then, walk the other way
Dark Japheth: Instigate the kobolds to follow us
Dark Japheth: Return to said door
Adm H Sopko: I think the explodey with the fireball works best
Adm H Sopko: We can get most of them
Dark Japheth: and open it, the backdraft annihilating all remaining kobolds.
Dark Japheth: True.
Sarcazmo47: ...kobolds.
Adm H Sopko: 70-80 of them
Dark Japheth: Kobolds are the most hilarious monster in the MM.
Adm H Sopko: Well, 69-79 of them
Dark Japheth: Only kobolds use traps extensively, and only them have rube-goldberg-esque traps.
Adm H Sopko: I SMOTE one before
Dark Japheth: Yes
Dark Japheth: While I was pinning it.
Dark Japheth: So I am covered in blood.
Dark Japheth: Angered is the Matthew.
Dark Japheth: :p
Adm H Sopko: Adm H Sopko: "Aha... you are sure now that you are the last one, and that is your complete story, no bullshit?"
Adm H Sopko: Chromeus18: "YES!"Adm H Sopko: ::Keith lets loose with the crossbow::
Dark Japheth: I love torturers who KILL THEIR VICTIM AT THE END.
Dark Japheth: Damn, one step towards evil
AndrewRogue: Thinking, aside from the ability to stand... Aria would probably at least subconciously wish that her body were more like Lea's.
Adm H Sopko: I'm neutral
Adm H Sopko: So it's all good
Adm H Sopko: Heh! Aria the catgirl
AndrewRogue: Hey now! I'm actually being serious and even putting my horrible obsession aside.
Dark Japheth: Heh
Dark Japheth: Dude
Dark Japheth: Ask to be a foxgirl.
Adm H Sopko: ooo
Dark Japheth: Foxgirls = the only acceptable furries.
Adm H Sopko: Foxgirls OWN
AndrewRogue: Kitsune Disciple PrC!
Dark Japheth: Did you know furries killed JFK?
AndrewRogue: *shameless plug*
Adm H Sopko: Actually, the only good furry looks like a normal human in every way, but they have a tail
Adm H Sopko: Like Lea!
Sarcazmo47: Gorth...is it bad that I already have a backup character idea for your game?
Adm H Sopko: I do.
Sarcazmo47: You've made me afraid for my character's continuing existance.
Adm H Sopko: Then again, I ALWAYS have a backup char
AndrewRogue: But seriously- Hunter likes Lea, so the logical seeming desire is for Aria to want to be more like her *shrugs* I... should have backup characters.
Dark Japheth: Dude.
Dark Japheth: I used to insist everyone in Amaryllis had a backup character.
AndrewRogue: But I hate coming up with ideas in advance because the dice are fickle :p
Dark Japheth: I quit the practice about one session before Alex came in.
Adm H Sopko: My backup is a fighter/berserker mix
SirAlexTheFirst: Kirk, you always have a backup character.
Dark Japheth: So do I.
Dark Japheth: :P
SirAlexTheFirst: You have fifty million characters in your head.
SirAlexTheFirst: It's what you do.
Dark Japheth: For this game alone, I have six.
Dark Japheth: lol
SirAlexTheFirst: Well.
SirAlexTheFirst: What is Lea's body like? And any other questions/comments?
Adm H Sopko: One moment please
SirAlexTheFirst: Someone collecting on bets that Nellix would chant in Latin?
Adm H Sopko: ::Waiting music plays""
AndrewRogue: *hands Gorth five dollars*
Dark Japheth: Heh.
Dark Japheth: I not only knew he'd chant in latin
Dark Japheth: I knew the chant he'd use
Dark Japheth: :P
Adm H Sopko: Lea's descrip
Adm H Sopko: ::And approach she does. Anybody who bothers to look in the same direction as Hunter sees a woman, roughly 6'3" with black hair down to her waist and a quarterstaff on her back. Her hips sway gently as she walks and the cat
Adm H Sopko: tail behind her mimicks her movements. She is strikingly beautiful and just seems to ooze pheromones somehow. He stops in front of Hunter, glaring daggars at him::
Adm H Sopko: She even
Sarcazmo47: So, is it me, or are the people on the Gamefaqs boards really, really, really pissy?
Adm H Sopko: Duh
AndrewRogue: Yeah. Mostly.
SirAlexTheFirst: Yes. I don't go there much anymore.
Dark Japheth: Give example.
SirAlexTheFirst: Oh, Kirk.
Sarcazmo47: Oh, Kirk!
SirAlexTheFirst: Is it normal for gravity in the Doombringer to turn off after a certain plot event?
Sarcazmo47: Yes.
SirAlexTheFirst: Or was that just my game screwing up?
SirAlexTheFirst: Okay. Good.
Sarcazmo47: Heh.
Sarcazmo47: Yes, that's normal. There's even ingame dialogue referring to it.
Dark Japheth: Is wayne brady gunna have to choke a bitch?
Adm H Sopko: Heh
Adm H Sopko: Snap! It's Wayne Brady, son!
SirAlexTheFirst: Almost got mad there and thought I would have to go back and beat that sucker again.
Sarcazmo47: And it;s the Doomgiver, not the Doombringer.
SirAlexTheFirst: Oh, FINE.
SirAlexTheFirst: Probably the same word in Desaanese anyways.
Sarcazmo47: So does Aria get a catgirl tail?
SirAlexTheFirst: No.
SirAlexTheFirst: She doesn't get her hair grown out either.
AndrewRogue: XD
Adm H Sopko: Or grow to be 6'3"
SirAlexTheFirst: And... that description doesn't really say much about Lea other than her height.
SirAlexTheFirst: In fact it doesn't say anything.
Dark Japheth: She has a tail!
Dark Japheth: :P
Adm H Sopko: Maybe I skimped on the details back then because picturing Lea is a duh to me
AndrewRogue: I think Alex is looking more for build, measurements, stats, endurance, capabilities, etc <_<
SirAlexTheFirst: Specific changes.
SirAlexTheFirst: That Aria could or would make.
SirAlexTheFirst: In comparing herself to Lea.
SirAlexTheFirst: Or otherwise.
Adm H Sopko: 6'3, athletic build but still stacked in the chest, black eyes (NOT dark blue, Gorth<G>), black hair down to thesmall of her back, moves gracefully and seductively, like a cat of course.
Dark Japheth: (Not MIDNIGHT BLUE?)
Adm H Sopko: (NO<G>)
Dark Japheth: (Awesome)
Adm H Sopko: Pale complexion
SirAlexTheFirst: Taller, thinner, bigger breasts, higher cheeks, eye color, hair color, facial features, moles, scars....
SirAlexTheFirst: LEA IS GREEL!
AndrewRogue: No wonder Aria dies everytime she shows up :p
Adm H Sopko: Her younger brother is Greel, if anyone
Adm H Sopko: I never did send the writeup of her siblings...
Dark Japheth: Younger?
Dark Japheth: Greel is eternal
Dark Japheth: Greel has been around forever.
Dark Japheth: Longer than the Capuchin.
Dark Japheth: :P
Dark Japheth: Anyway.
Dark Japheth: So how's that Lea work, anyway?
Dark Japheth: She on your side, or pretending to be
Adm H Sopko: 90% sure she's on my side
Dark Japheth: Or is she the invariable "NPC the PC talks about in his background who comes back to screw him over at the worst possible time"
Sarcazmo47: Nah, she's a pal.
AndrewRogue: Ol' fuck buddies. *nod* *nod*
Adm H Sopko: Heh
Adm H Sopko: She tore the shit out of Will's hand with that pistol
Dark Japheth: Soppy... go to the other chat
Dark Japheth: detail destruction of kobold gogo
Dark Japheth: Oh, Kirk
Dark Japheth: I told the girl, she said "sure, we'll go see a movie sometime this week"
Dark Japheth: woo.
AndrewRogue: Good job Gorth!
Dark Japheth: omg thx
Dark Japheth: it was basically me just saying "Yeah, I'm clean now."
Dark Japheth: She says "Its because you ran out of money, huh."
Dark Japheth: Me- "not the case. In fact, you want to go see a movie this wednesday?"
Dark Japheth: Her- "Cool beans."
Dark Japheth: If I was back in my apartment, I'd chug a few beers out of awe. But instead, I'll just sit here and be clean. bah.
Dark Japheth: So I killed this chat. My apologies.
Adm H Sopko: Happy with the descrip, Gorth?
Dark Japheth: Quite!
Adm H Sopko: Better be, bitch
AndrewRogue: Chat still lives, I'm just thinking about something.
Dark Japheth: Bitch? Not nice
Dark Japheth: Meanie. *pouts*
AndrewRogue: Heh
Adm H Sopko: Heh
Adm H Sopko: ::Cues up Tune the Rainbow again:: DAMN SONG GET OUT OF MY HEAD
AndrewRogue: It is damnably catchy
Adm H Sopko: I know!
SirAlexTheFirst: Heey Andrew.
SirAlexTheFirst: Planning to put the lores up on the site soon?
SirAlexTheFirst: And if so, would anyone want/do we have space for an NPC section on the site?
AndrewRogue: Rah! I knew I forgot something. Can you send me the revised Lore sheet and I'll throw it up here before I go to sleep.
Adm H Sopko: NPC section would be cool
AndrewRogue: And, yeah. I'm doing this between two accounts, so I have PLENTY (sort of) space to do an NPC section.
SirAlexTheFirst: Errrrr....
SirAlexTheFirst: Did you save the info from the other chat?
SirAlexTheFirst: I, um, forgot to.
AndrewRogue: Yeah. I wanted to avoid the annoyance of C&P though :p
SirAlexTheFirst: Yay
AndrewRogue: You want it?
SirAlexTheFirst: Nah, as long as you have it we're fine.
AndrewRogue: Er... curses. I have to do some log digging here...
AndrewRogue: Whee. Scared me for a sec.
SirAlexTheFirst: So....
AndrewRogue: Doing it right now.
AndrewRogue: Have to do the C&P of fun.
Dark Japheth: Dude. I am going to see if Lan still has the Greel song.
Dark Japheth: If i can get it, will you post it on the website?
Dark Japheth: >.>
SirAlexTheFirst: Haaaa.
Dark Japheth: No, seriously.
Dark Japheth: GREEEL
Dark Japheth: He's really hard to keeeeeeel
AndrewRogue: Heeeh!
Dark Japheth: There were like six verses
Dark Japheth: but thats all I remember nowadays.
AndrewRogue: That verse rocks :p
Dark Japheth: Then again, its been like two years since he said "Gorth, I wrote a song about an NPC in your game! I want to hear it!"
Dark Japheth: *you to hear it
Dark Japheth: Me- "...I... suppose"
AndrewRogue: XD
AndrewRogue: By the way Alex, have I mentioned I like this lore system a lot?
SirAlexTheFirst: No you haven't.
SirAlexTheFirst: Glad to hear it.
SirAlexTheFirst: I do have the Evrain voice clips, I think.
AndrewRogue: Yes. It makes a lot more sense than Knowledge I'd say, and is a LOT less painful.
Dark Japheth: I still have Evrain voice clips.
Dark Japheth: And yeah, lores are awesome.
Dark Japheth: Its not like... "Hmm. I have personally met the gods and they have revealed to me infinite truths."
Dark Japheth: "But I rolled a 1, so I haven't the slightest idea what their names are."
Dark Japheth: You know? :P
AndrewRogue: Indeed. Its nice and concise. The Lores equate SO much better to how things work.
Dark Japheth: Thats why Vampire uses them.
AndrewRogue: I love it when you mix and match systems and it works.
AndrewRogue: *waves a flag* Lores up.
AndrewRogue: I'll re-adjust things a bit later, but they are available for easy access on the front page.
SirAlexTheFirst: Yay!
AndrewRogue: Heck, go straight to them- www.oocities.org/terrybrash/Lores.ht m
Adm H Sopko: "You know the rules of etiquette in detail, and can host a large formal event without trouble" Heheh. About all N&R 3 Hunter knows<G>
AndrewRogue: Hmm... I'll happilly do an NPC section, but of course, that requires either you doing all/some of the NPC write-ups Alex (pweeese ^_^) or at least giving me a list of relevant NPCs :p
SirAlexTheFirst: I'd do em
Dark Japheth: Set up a Posthumous section. I'll put Queklain up, we'll collaberate for the asthmatic ranger and his fuckbunny.
Dark Japheth: *nods*
Adm H Sopko: Heh
AndrewRogue: I'm going to actually ^_^
SirAlexTheFirst: Hah.
Adm H Sopko: Bigsbie?
Dark Japheth: ....what?
Adm H Sopko: He's worth noting...
Dark Japheth: No, seriously, don't
Dark Japheth: I don't want a reminder of Queklain
Adm H Sopko: Heh
Dark Japheth: I won't play Evil PC's in mostly good parties EVER AGAIN
Dark Japheth: Just ain't worth it
AndrewRogue: It is pretty frustrating (has done it for a short time)
Adm H Sopko: Yeah. Aria was originally evil
SirAlexTheFirst: Yes indeed.
SirAlexTheFirst: What
SirAlexTheFirst: Wait
SirAlexTheFirst: She was?
Adm H Sopko: No<G>
AndrewRogue: Although Evil Aria WAS kind of fun for the short time I got to play her <_<
Adm H Sopko: HEH
Dark Japheth: Thats different
Adm H Sopko: Hunter SMOTE Evil Aria
Dark Japheth: Had Queklain been there, it would have been funny
Adm H Sopko: Or do you mean Evil Aria from CoC?
Dark Japheth: Alex- "Arryx turns you all into evil versions of yourself!"
Adm H Sopko: Heh
Dark Japheth: Me- "...I look around, nothing has changed."
AndrewRogue: Actually Gorth, I was referring to Kirk's game where I played an evil Ranger/Rogue. He was pretty passive evil, but it was frustrating to do.
AndrewRogue: And yeah, I was referring to CoC Aria, not Hummer Aria.
Dark Japheth: You're an evil guy in my game.
Dark Japheth: :P
AndrewRogue: But I'm in an evil party <_<
Dark Japheth: Thats because Kirk wanted to play an evil guy.
AndrewRogue: Hell, I'm the moderate in that group :p
Dark Japheth: And he was the first PC and is ungodly persuasive.
Dark Japheth: Lol
Adm H Sopko: My character is a goody two shoes!
Dark Japheth: Yes!
AndrewRogue: Staci: I skin the bastard
AndrewRogue: Me: ...
Dark Japheth: No the best part was when she SKINNED THE MAN
Dark Japheth: While he was technically alive (0 HP).
Dark Japheth: And then took the skin
Dark Japheth: and the tanning oil
AndrewRogue: And gave it to the guy's wife!
Dark Japheth: And gave the woman the lips. "now you have one less mouth to feed, here is a reminder of it."
Dark Japheth: YEAH
Dark Japheth: Fucking. Evil.
Dark Japheth: I like how you all abandoned a child in the middle of the woods.
Dark Japheth: :P
AndrewRogue: Uh...
AndrewRogue: Well...
AndrewRogue: Ah...
AndrewRogue: Look, a Foxgirl!
AndrewRogue: *runs*
Adm H Sopko: If the good group continues as it has, I'm requiring a sacrifice for the Spiral ceremony, and they're it.
AndrewRogue: Yeah... tell me how that went.
Adm H Sopko: Kidding. We're alright
Adm H Sopko: Violet's a hormonal bitch
AndrewRogue: Heh
Adm H Sopko: Whats his name is screwed once Violet decides to cut his balls off
Adm H Sopko: Alaec is alright...
AndrewRogue: I'd think not being screwed is the porblem...
AndrewRogue: </expected joke>
SirAlexTheFirst: *looks back at chat after typing something up*
SirAlexTheFirst: *has no clue what anyone is talking about*
Dark Japheth: My evil game. Thanks to Kirk, its one of the more despicable games I've run.
SirAlexTheFirst: Oh.
Dark Japheth: Its.. So... fucking... evil...
AndrewRogue: We somehow got from evil Aria to the horror that is Gorth's game.
Dark Japheth: My god. The guy is incredible at evil
Dark Japheth: My games suck. I get a good roleplayer, and they effectively run the game.
Dark Japheth: I don't know how Kirk is gunna react to me not wanting him to keep the Lord prc he came up with.
Dark Japheth: Its way, WAY too powerful.
SirAlexTheFirst: ....
SirAlexTheFirst: .................
SirAlexTheFirst: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAH
Dark Japheth: It makes Evrain's PrC's and unique abilities look like the Nagukorian Arcane Mystic
SirAlexTheFirst: That was exactly my reaction. And he didn't like it.
AndrewRogue: Am I the only one who didn't see that as brutally overpowered?
Adm H Sopko: I never saw it
SirAlexTheFirst: Yes.
AndrewRogue: Gyah. I gotta wonder how. Typically I'm not bad at balancing PrCs.
Dark Japheth: Basically
Adm H Sopko: Lemme see!
Dark Japheth: It gets acidic blood, more ability bonuses than an epic fighter who uses all his bonus feats for + abilities, HUGE leadership things
Dark Japheth: Its unfair, blatantly so, so I told him "We'll think about it."
Adm H Sopko: Acidic blood?
Adm H Sopko: WTF?
Dark Japheth: Alex, you remember playing in my game. What did "I'll think about it." mean?
SirAlexTheFirst: Soppy: It gets Leadership score multiplied by six, the entire two weapon fighting tree, +2 to all stats and +4 to Cha, Cha bonus to saves and AC, auras that grant all his allies +5 to attack and damage....
Dark Japheth: Yeah.
AndrewRogue: Well... I disagreed with the Leadership. But then Gil couldn't come up with a good way to use it.
Adm H Sopko: ...
Adm H Sopko: BWHAHA
Dark Japheth: Yeah fucking right
Dark Japheth: This is GIL
Dark Japheth: Leadership of that scale is... "well, for all my first level guys, I pick mages."
Dark Japheth: "And they ALL work together with me on this epic spell."
AndrewRogue: He was unimpressed by a 180 some leadership score.
Dark Japheth: Wham, now you have a permanant +24 to Intelligence
SirAlexTheFirst: Two good saves, full BAB...
Adm H Sopko: How about... I'll let Kirk do all that. Then I'll just Share Soul and hope I get better roles
Adm H Sopko: rolls even
SirAlexTheFirst: Iron Will for free
Dark Japheth: Except that I won't allow the Moan in my game. :P
Dark Japheth: Yeah.
Adm H Sopko: Aww
AndrewRogue: *reminds self to adjust saves for Moan's abilities*
Adm H Sopko: Clear up on how the abilities are used as well
SirAlexTheFirst: All opponents within 30 feet get -4 on all saves...
Dark Japheth: I will *never* let that PrC in my game. Simply because its *way* too abuseable.
Dark Japheth: Yeah.
Dark Japheth: Does one need to go on?
Dark Japheth: :P
AndrewRogue: Even better! Dude Gorth, lemme use my Anything Goes Martial Artist in your games <_<
SirAlexTheFirst: An ability to go into a counterattack stance...
AndrewRogue: *game, singular
Adm H Sopko: Which one, Gorth? Lord or Timon?<G>
SirAlexTheFirst: Can make his allies have +20 on all grapple, bull rush and trip checks...
SirAlexTheFirst: Oh, he ALSO gets Cha to attack and damage rolls
Dark Japheth: yeh
SirAlexTheFirst: Drawbacks? What drawbacks?
Dark Japheth: No, it has a drawback.
Dark Japheth: If a mage takes it, it doesn't improve spellcasting.
Dark Japheth: Thats a nasty, nasty drawback.
Dark Japheth: Oh, it also has huge pre-requisites.
Dark Japheth: *shrug*
SirAlexTheFirst: .... it's a fighter class.
Dark Japheth: I'd consider it as an Epic PrC.
Dark Japheth: I know.
Dark Japheth: :P
SirAlexTheFirst: It does not have huge prereqs.
Dark Japheth: It somewhat does- unless you specifically build towards it, there ain't no way in hell you get the Lord PrC.
Dark Japheth: :P
SirAlexTheFirst: You have to have been of good and evil alignment.
AndrewRogue: I dunno. For some reason that class doesn't strike me as BA-ROKEN. But maybe I'm sleepy. Or have balance skew problems.
SirAlexTheFirst: And have some skills that.... most fighters with Leadership will have.
Dark Japheth: True.
Dark Japheth: The having been of good and evil alignment is the fun one
Dark Japheth: Because see, if he took his current character and tried to be good
Dark Japheth: To atone, ninety nine percent of people who would atone him and allow him to do penance would let him pay for it with his head
Dark Japheth: :P
AndrewRogue: Anyway... ya'll need me for anything else?
Dark Japheth: Yes
Dark Japheth: Entertainment
Dark Japheth: I'm bored and you must stay and help me alleviate boredom.
Dark Japheth: Or you can sleep and I'll cry.
AndrewRogue: That's a shame. I have to get up at 8, so sleep is gonna win ^_~
SirAlexTheFirst: It doesn't strike you as broken that one person has +2 all stats, +Charisma to every secondary stat, gives all allies +5 AC, attack and damage and +20 on grapple/trip/bullrush, gets four free feats
SirAlexTheFirst: and retains better-than-a-Fighter physical stats.
SirAlexTheFirst: With no drawbacks, and some other minor abilities.
AndrewRogue: Two things there bother me- Two Weapon tree, and the bonus to grapple
Dark Japheth: *shrugs*
Dark Japheth: I told him I'd think about it
SirAlexTheFirst: There is no reason not to take this prestige class.
AndrewRogue: I dunno. I'd have to look again.
Dark Japheth: which means a resounding NO is heard across the heavens
Dark Japheth: Yes. There is.
Dark Japheth: DECENCY AND RESPECT FOR THE DM
Dark Japheth: IF YOU HAVE THOSE, YOU CANNOT TAKE LEVELS IN THE LORD PRC.
Dark Japheth: :p
SirAlexTheFirst: It is MUCH better than Fighter in EVERY WAY, except skill points I think.
Dark Japheth: Fighters get 2 + int mod per level.
Dark Japheth: So does the lord.
SirAlexTheFirst: Oh really. It's better than fighter in that too.
SirAlexTheFirst: No. Lord gets 4+int.
Dark Japheth: Ah.
AndrewRogue: Well... to be pointed, almost anything is better than the fighter sheer power-wise <_<
SirAlexTheFirst: At least the version he sent me.
Dark Japheth: No.
SirAlexTheFirst: ...no.
Dark Japheth: Fighters = pwn.
SirAlexTheFirst: Compare it to Paladin then.
Adm H Sopko: I need anywhere between 2-5 levels of Marshal, and I'll be set for Timon
AndrewRogue: Eh... I agree, Fighters are awesome. Just not for 20 levels unless you have access to Splatbooks/Custom Feats
SirAlexTheFirst: It gets bonus feats, massive bonuses to allies, Charisma to saves and attack and damage and AC where the Pally only has it to saves,
SirAlexTheFirst: and trades all this for the pally
SirAlexTheFirst: s turning and divine spells.
SirAlexTheFirst: The usual best of which grants the paladin +5 to attack and damage.
SirAlexTheFirst: Oh, and then the +2 all stats and other abilities. against lay on hands, courgae and disease immunity.
AndrewRogue: Anyway... I'm too tired for balance thoughts right now. ^_^0 Thanks for summing up tonight Alex.
