(8:55:10 PM) You have just entered room "Amaryllis New Dawn."

(8:55:12 PM) MysteryGiIgamesh has entered the room.

(8:55:13 PM) Adm H Sopko has entered the room.

(8:55:16 PM) psychopenguin313 has entered the room.

MysteryGiIgamesh (8:55:18 PM): Yay.

psychopenguin313 (8:55:19 PM): Ahoy.

SirAlextheFirst (8:55:23 PM): Good evening.

Adm H Sopko (8:55:30 PM): Yo

MysteryGiIgamesh (8:55:59 PM): Today has been a bad day. My urge to slaughter hordes is growing by the second.

MysteryGiIgamesh (8:56:01 PM): http://www.livejournal.com/users/solemngilga mesh/

Adm H Sopko (8:56:25 PM): Oh my character is SO suspicious of yours now, Gil<G>

MysteryGiIgamesh (8:56:37 PM): Why?

MysteryGiIgamesh (8:56:52 PM): And, be as suspicious as you want, heh.

MysteryGiIgamesh (8:57:24 PM): And, in the newest issue of Dragon....RULES FOR HALF-VAMPIRES! WHOO!

Adm H Sopko (8:57:33 PM): Hunter has come to realize something about your behavior. While you yelled at Gorth's C* for being evil, you've leaped onto the attack quicker than he ever has.

MysteryGiIgamesh (8:57:44 PM): Heh.

MysteryGiIgamesh (8:58:14 PM): That's because Jacynth is two things.

MysteryGiIgamesh (8:58:19 PM): 1: Like a housecat.

Adm H Sopko (8:58:29 PM): Not to mention the mentioning of the leader having an arrow wound in his back made him remember that you started firing your bow before Jerry was in trouble

MysteryGiIgamesh (8:58:30 PM): 2: Quick for the kill when something threaten's him.

MysteryGiIgamesh (8:58:51 PM): Also, it was the same bandits as before, anyway.

Adm H Sopko (8:59:09 PM): Dude, they threw their weapons on the ground and surrendered

MysteryGiIgamesh (8:59:24 PM): The leader ran.

SirAlextheFirst (8:59:26 PM): Hm, hm, hm.

MysteryGiIgamesh (8:59:31 PM): Which was why the arrow was fired.

Adm H Sopko (8:59:32 PM): More like walked

MysteryGiIgamesh (8:59:40 PM): ...He took off on a horse.

Adm H Sopko (8:59:57 PM): He never started running until after Jerry fell off

MysteryGiIgamesh (9:00:12 PM): which is when I fired.

Adm H Sopko (9:00:14 PM): He just kept plodding along on the hors

Adm H Sopko (9:00:26 PM): Nope. I checked. It was before.

MysteryGiIgamesh (9:00:52 PM): Ah well. *shrugs*

psychopenguin313 (9:01:02 PM): So did I miss anything this Monday?

Adm H Sopko (9:01:05 PM): Aaaanyway... who are we waiting for? VSM and Chrome?

SirAlextheFirst (9:01:06 PM): Nope

MysteryGiIgamesh (9:01:13 PM): Nothing happened on Monday. There was no game then, heh.

SirAlextheFirst (9:01:19 PM): VSM, Chrome and Popi are all not here.

psychopenguin313 (9:01:46 PM): Did they know that there's a game tonight?

Adm H Sopko (9:01:50 PM): VSM and Chrome then. Popi better hope he doesn't show for the wellbeing of his character<G>

MysteryGiIgamesh (9:01:56 PM): Also, the new guy.

SirAlextheFirst (9:02:43 PM): Indeed.

psychopenguin313 (9:02:49 PM): New guy?

MysteryGiIgamesh (9:02:55 PM): Mm.

MysteryGiIgamesh (9:02:59 PM): The New Guy.

psychopenguin313 (9:03:04 PM): Hrm?

MysteryGiIgamesh (9:03:10 PM): Heh.

MysteryGiIgamesh (9:03:42 PM): Just a person I found who was looking for a game, and coincidentally, Gorth dropped outta this one, soooo....I figured it was good timing.

MysteryGiIgamesh (9:03:47 PM): And, let him and Alex talk.

Adm H Sopko (9:04:03 PM): ::Listens to Haruka Kanata AGAIN::

MysteryGiIgamesh (9:05:17 PM): Hakuna Matata? >_>

Adm H Sopko (9:05:30 PM): Haruka Kanata. The 2nd Naruto opening

psychopenguin313 (9:05:47 PM): Ah. Isn't there three, now?

psychopenguin313 (9:05:55 PM): *Aren't

MysteryGiIgamesh (9:06:02 PM): So...

Adm H Sopko (9:06:03 PM): It's such an odd song. It's in Japanese... but... the style is so American. It's like an Offspring song

MysteryGiIgamesh (9:07:42 PM): So....

psychopenguin313 (9:07:43 PM): Whoo.

psychopenguin313 (9:07:48 PM): I stepped in dog crap on my way home.

psychopenguin313 (9:07:54 PM): brb.

MysteryGiIgamesh (9:07:57 PM): Let's figure a way outta this prison before we all end up prison raped and then hanged. :P

SirAlextheFirst (9:08:44 PM): If y'all want to get movin now, we can.

SirAlextheFirst (9:08:49 PM): Or we could wait for people.

SirAlextheFirst (9:08:53 PM): Either way works for me.

psychopenguin313 (9:08:55 PM): Whatever. Either is fine with me.

Adm H Sopko (9:09:07 PM): Wait a bit more

psychopenguin313 (9:09:09 PM): Gimme some time to get this stuff washed off my shoes, though.

SirAlextheFirst (9:09:32 PM): Very well. We shall delay so Peng can wash his shoes.

MysteryGiIgamesh (9:11:45 PM): :P

MysteryGiIgamesh (9:11:50 PM): Damn him and his poo shoe.

psychopenguin313 (9:13:08 PM): 'kay, shoes are clean. More or less.

SirAlextheFirst (9:14:00 PM): Well then.

MysteryGiIgamesh (9:14:14 PM): LET THE GAMES BEGIN! *trumpet flares(

MysteryGiIgamesh (9:14:15 PM): * *

SirAlextheFirst (9:14:53 PM): ~~~BEGIN~~~

MysteryGiIgamesh (9:16:21 PM): *is resting on the prison bed*

SirAlextheFirst (9:16:23 PM): After being ambushed, meeting odd people, killing some folks, and fighting with the border patrol, you are all now being held in said border patrol's custody.

psychopenguin313 (9:16:46 PM): *mutters to self* "Another prison..."

MysteryGiIgamesh (9:16:49 PM): *eyes half-closed, stretched out, his feet on top of each other, and arms folded back behind his head*

Adm H Sopko (9:17:05 PM): ::Hunter sits, leaning against the wall for a little back support. He looks around at his other companions in the cell, beginning to wonder what is happening to his friend and the newcomer which cost them their freedom::

SirAlextheFirst (9:18:09 PM): If by your friend you mean Queklain, he's pacing in his cell, glaring at the guards, and occasionaly trying to engage them in philosophical debate.

SirAlextheFirst (9:18:14 PM): They pay him no mind.

SirAlextheFirst (9:18:29 PM): Nash is sitting quietly, for once.

Adm H Sopko (9:18:52 PM): (Damn Ghaleon lover...)

psychopenguin313 (9:19:11 PM): (Ack, brb for extended period of time, phone call)

MysteryGiIgamesh (9:19:13 PM): (Ghaleon>j00.)

MysteryGiIgamesh (9:21:00 PM): *breathes in, long and deep, exhaling the same way*

SirAlextheFirst (9:21:12 PM): Upstairs, the captain of the guard has answered a knock on the door, presumably the next watch.

Adm H Sopko (9:22:46 PM): ::Pays it no mind, as it is a common occurance at this point::

SirAlextheFirst (9:22:58 PM): It is?

Adm H Sopko (9:23:23 PM): ((I thought we were in here a while?))

SirAlextheFirst (9:23:34 PM): No, y'all just got put in here.

SirAlextheFirst (9:23:41 PM): We're pickin up right where we left off.

Adm H Sopko (9:23:47 PM): (Ah.)

SirAlextheFirst (9:23:57 PM): It HAS been an awfully long time since he went up to answer that knock.

Adm H Sopko (9:24:42 PM): ::Hunter moves his eyes from the floor to the door of the cell, wondering what the person at the door has in store for them::

SirAlextheFirst (9:27:59 PM): The guards, too, are beginning to shift restlessly now. Nothing can be heard from upstairs.

MysteryGiIgamesh (9:29:21 PM): "So........What shall........We do....?"

Adm H Sopko (9:29:30 PM): ::Simply sighs, lightly banging the back of his head against the wall:: "Wait, of course."

MysteryGiIgamesh (9:29:45 PM): "Mm..............Alright......"

SirAlextheFirst (9:29:46 PM): Nash would disagree with you on that.

SirAlextheFirst (9:29:57 PM): But, of course, Nash isn't here to play his character.

Adm H Sopko (9:30:01 PM): Nash can kiss my ass

Adm H Sopko (9:30:12 PM): If he can get his lips off of Ghaleon's

SirAlextheFirst (9:30:35 PM): The Nash-llama is just sitting there. (and the name was a coincidence. Popi's never played Lunar)

SirAlextheFirst (9:30:55 PM): And now come some footsteps down the stairs.

Adm H Sopko (9:30:57 PM): You won't hear the end of Nash jokes though

Adm H Sopko (9:32:34 PM): ::Stands up now, watching the door::

SirAlextheFirst (9:32:39 PM): (I'm trying to go slow for Peng)

MysteryGiIgamesh (9:32:50 PM): (Okay...)

SirAlextheFirst (9:33:21 PM): (Ah, heck with it. No game for soo long....)

*OnlineHost* (9:33:33 PM): SirAlextheFirst rolled 4 20-sided dice: 8 9 12 16

*OnlineHost* (9:33:44 PM): SirAlextheFirst rolled 1 20-sided die: 16

MysteryGiIgamesh (9:33:57 PM): (Here comes death! >_>)

SirAlextheFirst (9:34:01 PM): Three of the five guards in the hall outside the cells collapse.

Adm H Sopko (9:34:09 PM): ...

SirAlextheFirst (9:34:12 PM): For no apparent reason.

MysteryGiIgamesh (9:34:17 PM): *peeks up from his spot* "Hmm...."

MysteryGiIgamesh (9:34:27 PM): "Today is.........A very odd sort.....Of day, perhaps?"

SirAlextheFirst (9:34:30 PM): Unless you count the footsteps coming down the stairs as a reason.

Adm H Sopko (9:34:31 PM): ::Blinks and instant goes on alert, wishing he had his damn weapons::

MysteryGiIgamesh (9:34:53 PM): (I could probably bend the bars with some help, y'know. I do have a 16 Str. >_>)

SirAlextheFirst (9:35:08 PM): The cell doors aren't locked.

MysteryGiIgamesh (9:35:29 PM): (.....Wow. What tight security they have.)

SirAlextheFirst (9:35:43 PM): The other two guards grab their weapons and run to the staircase, and look up.

SirAlextheFirst (9:36:56 PM): Then they slowly backpedal as the Hunter lurches down and into the hall, keeping a safe distance from it.

Adm H Sopko (9:37:26 PM): ::Blinks:: "These guys again?"

SirAlextheFirst (9:37:38 PM): Just one of them.

MysteryGiIgamesh (9:37:39 PM): "...Odd happenings.........Indeed....."

SirAlextheFirst (9:37:58 PM): It walks past the guards and pushes open Queklain's cell door.

SirAlextheFirst (9:38:13 PM): Inits...

*OnlineHost* (9:38:16 PM): SirAlextheFirst rolled 2 20-sided dice: 16 12

SirAlextheFirst (9:38:23 PM): Attack

*OnlineHost* (9:38:24 PM): SirAlextheFirst rolled 1 20-sided die: 5

Adm H Sopko (9:38:32 PM): Yeah... he's dead

SirAlextheFirst (9:39:08 PM): Queklain's ready for the slice, dodging the Hunter's claws miraculously.

SirAlextheFirst (9:39:26 PM): He casts his funky spell thing.

*OnlineHost* (9:39:27 PM): SirAlextheFirst rolled 1 20-sided die: 15

*OnlineHost* (9:39:31 PM): SirAlextheFirst rolled 1 20-sided die: 2

SirAlextheFirst (9:39:35 PM): Gads.

SirAlextheFirst (9:40:02 PM): Passed SR AND failed save. I have to actually look up what it does now.

SirAlextheFirst (9:40:35 PM): (and I apologize for this, but I think y'all get why I'm doin it)

MysteryGiIgamesh (9:41:51 PM): (I could just walk over and break his 6 HP ass in half, if you want me to.)

SirAlextheFirst (9:42:08 PM): (That would be out of character.)

SirAlextheFirst (9:42:35 PM): Queklain's spell hits the Hunter dead-on. It doesn't flinch.

*OnlineHost* (9:42:38 PM): SirAlextheFirst rolled 1 20-sided die: 9

*OnlineHost* (9:42:47 PM): SirAlextheFirst rolled 1 8-sided die: 7

SirAlextheFirst (9:43:23 PM): Aaaand finishes the job, impaling the startled mage. Queklain gurgles and slides off the Hunter's arm blade, and it turns to leave.

MysteryGiIgamesh (9:44:11 PM): *rises up from the prison bed, getting to his feet*

*OnlineHost* (9:45:11 PM): SirAlextheFirst rolled 2 20-sided dice: 18 10

Adm H Sopko (9:45:39 PM): ::Rushes to the door, surprised as hell he can open it and recoiling in horror as he sees what just occured::

SirAlextheFirst (9:45:47 PM): Another guard keels over, leaving only the guy Jerriford healed awake/alive/who knows what.

SirAlextheFirst (9:46:41 PM): The Hunter's leaving. Plot bit over. Commence doing things.

MysteryGiIgamesh (9:46:44 PM): "Odd indeed.................."

MysteryGiIgamesh (9:47:11 PM): *walks out of the door, following Hunter* (The character, not the thing.)

Adm H Sopko (9:47:36 PM): ::Turns around, not wanting to see it::

Adm H Sopko (9:47:47 PM): (Why doesn't the Hunter kill Nash?<G>))

SirAlextheFirst (9:48:02 PM): (Nash didn't violate the cardinal rule)

SirAlextheFirst (9:48:12 PM): (and there are plot reasons too)

MysteryGiIgamesh (9:49:05 PM): (The cardinal rule of D&D is you never miss a game unless you're dead or getting laid.)

psychopenguin313 (9:49:17 PM): (Back.)

psychopenguin313 (9:49:20 PM): (Sorry about that.)

SirAlextheFirst (9:49:40 PM): (The cardinal rule of THIS D&D is No Whining. :P)

MysteryGiIgamesh (9:50:24 PM): (Bah. My rule is better.)

Adm H Sopko (9:50:37 PM): ::Finally gathers up enough to turn around, noticing that a guard is left:: "What happened here?" (We didn't see anything, right?)

Adm H Sopko (9:50:44 PM): (Besides the guards fall)

MysteryGiIgamesh (9:50:49 PM): (We saw most of it, I believe.)

psychopenguin313 (9:51:21 PM): *walks out of the door to join the others*

SirAlextheFirst (9:51:25 PM): Y'all saw what happened.

psychopenguin313 (9:52:19 PM): *looks around nervously*

psychopenguin313 (9:52:22 PM): "What... was that?"

Adm H Sopko (9:52:24 PM): K. Replace that with "Are you alright?"

SirAlextheFirst (9:52:43 PM): "...... I think a big black thing just came in and killed that annoying mage."

SirAlextheFirst (9:52:56 PM): "Poetic justice. I'm fine.

SirAlextheFirst (9:52:57 PM): "

MysteryGiIgamesh (9:53:10 PM): ".....The blood of......One who was of........The Blood......But not of....The Blood.......Was spilled...."

MysteryGiIgamesh (9:53:18 PM): (JUst had to say that. Dunno why.)

psychopenguin313 (9:53:28 PM): "..."

Adm H Sopko (9:53:31 PM): ::Turns viciously to Jac:: "Shut up. Just SHUT THE FUCK UP!"

MysteryGiIgamesh (9:53:46 PM): *looks at him, with a serene calm*

psychopenguin313 (9:55:15 PM): *eyes narrow at Jac*

MysteryGiIgamesh (9:55:37 PM): *continues his apathetic look at Hunter*

Adm H Sopko (9:55:52 PM): ::Restrains a desire to punch him in the face, then walks over to Nash's cell:: "You!"

MysteryGiIgamesh (9:56:11 PM): *shrugs*

SirAlextheFirst (9:56:13 PM): *llama stares back* "Uncle Queklain...."

MysteryGiIgamesh (9:59:00 PM): ".........................."

psychopenguin313 (9:59:10 PM): "... so... what do we do now?"

MysteryGiIgamesh (9:59:11 PM): *just walks past it all, and out, looking for his things*

psychopenguin313 (9:59:28 PM): *breathes in deeply a few times and goes to look for his stuff as well*

Adm H Sopko (9:59:47 PM): ::He clenches both of his fists in fury, trying to get his mind off this particular stage of loss. He looks around at all the downed guards and walks to the nearest one, checking to see if they're alive::

SirAlextheFirst (9:59:59 PM): They are.

SirAlextheFirst (10:00:29 PM): The guards seem to be asleep or unconscious, but unharmed physically.

Adm H Sopko (10:00:34 PM): ::Smirks:: "Thank Gabriel for small miracles." ::Looks up to the remaining guard:: "So... what now?"

SirAlextheFirst (10:01:14 PM): Your belongings are all right in the main room upstairs, next to the captain, who's in the same state as the 4 out of it guards.

MysteryGiIgamesh (10:01:41 PM): *takes his things, and puts them on/arms himself*

SirAlextheFirst (10:02:08 PM): The guard who stayed on his feet: "I'm just going to go back to Asgard, report, and quit this service. Thank Tiyreal... twice in one day..."

psychopenguin313 (10:02:09 PM): *grabs his stuff and looks around for a hint of what happened*

psychopenguin313 (10:02:38 PM): (Did I hear what the guard said?)

SirAlextheFirst (10:02:55 PM): (No)

MysteryGiIgamesh (10:04:05 PM): *heads back down to the others*

Adm H Sopko (10:04:09 PM): ::Tries to hold back a small smile, but can't:: "Smart idea, I'd think. What about us?"

MysteryGiIgamesh (10:04:14 PM): "Our things........Are upstairs still....."

psychopenguin313 (10:04:15 PM): *pokes about upstairs*

SirAlextheFirst (10:05:51 PM): "I really shouldn't, but... since y'all did save my life... just get out of here. I don't want any more fooling around with rock sword bug thingys and psychotic mages."

Adm H Sopko (10:06:21 PM): "What'll happen when the others wake up? Won't they notice we're missing?"

Adm H Sopko (10:06:37 PM): + "And come looking for us?"

psychopenguin313 (10:07:21 PM): *comes back downstairs*

MysteryGiIgamesh (10:07:37 PM): "Which is why we move faster."

MysteryGiIgamesh (10:07:44 PM): "And be gone before they wake."

SirAlextheFirst (10:07:50 PM): "I'll tell them not to. Cappy was mostly mad at the mage anyways."

MysteryGiIgamesh (10:07:55 PM): (...Oops.)

MysteryGiIgamesh (10:08:02 PM): (Erm, I messed up there.)

psychopenguin313 (10:08:08 PM): (No ellipses.)

SirAlextheFirst (10:08:14 PM): "Just don't go around killing people for no good reason. Although... seeing that.... DID you have a reason? I don't want to know."

MysteryGiIgamesh (10:08:17 PM): (Right. I forgot his signature pausing.)

Adm H Sopko (10:09:38 PM): "Well. We did, sort of. But with those guys in town, you can expect those bandits to turn up dead any day now. They were hunting those bandits for the same reason they just killed our friend."

MysteryGiIgamesh (10:10:07 PM): "................Hmmm.............."

MysteryGiIgamesh (10:10:36 PM): (Can I invite a lurker?)

SirAlextheFirst (10:11:03 PM): (Sure, but make sure you've got detection and sufficient micro to handle it)

MysteryGiIgamesh (10:11:11 PM): (heh.)

(10:11:36 PM) Kynalra has entered the room.

psychopenguin313 (10:11:39 PM): *looks at the exit*

MysteryGiIgamesh (10:11:51 PM): "....We should......Be moving soon......I suspect...."

SirAlextheFirst (10:11:54 PM): And with another grateful nod to the Jerriford llama, the guard has left.

MysteryGiIgamesh (10:12:27 PM): *heads out of the guard station*

psychopenguin313 (10:13:27 PM): *follows for lack of any better ideas*

MysteryGiIgamesh (10:13:57 PM): *looks around outside*

SirAlextheFirst (10:14:04 PM): It's dark outside. Quite dark, now.

Adm H Sopko (10:14:15 PM): ::Walks to his fallen friend and kneels, saying a quick prayer to Gabriel before following the others::

MysteryGiIgamesh (10:14:20 PM): "Mm.....Is the hour.......Of dark now....."

psychopenguin313 (10:14:31 PM): "Where are you going to go?"

SirAlextheFirst (10:14:39 PM): The guards tied up your horses on the posts next to the station.

MysteryGiIgamesh (10:15:08 PM): "I will go.....Wherever you shall.......Decide to...."

psychopenguin313 (10:15:21 PM): *turns to Hunter*

psychopenguin313 (10:15:29 PM): "Got an idea?"

Adm H Sopko (10:16:35 PM): ::Mentally kicks himself for forgetting his things, so he runs back in and retrieves them, heading back out in time to join the others:: "I have one... I think it's kind of disrespectful to just leave his body there like that.

Adm H Sopko (10:16:41 PM): Maybe we should bury him, no?"

psychopenguin313 (10:16:56 PM): *pauses* "That sounds like a good idea."

MysteryGiIgamesh (10:17:12 PM): "That would take.......Much too long......"

MysteryGiIgamesh (10:17:24 PM): "Especially since......Now we should......Make much haste...."

Adm H Sopko (10:17:58 PM): ::Rolls his eyes at Jac:: "I knew you would say that."

MysteryGiIgamesh (10:18:01 PM): "Besides.......His body was......Violate."

MysteryGiIgamesh (10:18:10 PM): "His soul was......As well...."

Adm H Sopko (10:19:03 PM): "Just... shut your mouth." ::He returns inside, getting Queklain's body:: "There should be a cemetary close to here. Or we could go right to the Temple of Gabriel. I'm sure they could help."

MysteryGiIgamesh (10:19:18 PM): *shrugs*

psychopenguin313 (10:19:23 PM): "I'll follow your lead, then."

MysteryGiIgamesh (10:19:32 PM): "He should not.......Be buried. Rather........Burned...."

MysteryGiIgamesh (10:20:06 PM): "For to return.....Such as one of the.........Blood who is not of.......The Blood......To the cradle of......The earth.....Would be to mar it...."

psychopenguin313 (10:21:04 PM): *shrugs*

psychopenguin313 (10:21:08 PM): "I don't understand."

MysteryGiIgamesh (10:21:24 PM): "Some things......Those not of......The Blood.....Never understand..."

Adm H Sopko (10:21:42 PM): "Elaborate a little, please"

psychopenguin313 (10:21:56 PM): "I kind of figured as much. We don't have time for that, I think, though."

MysteryGiIgamesh (10:22:00 PM): "Mm......If I must.......I shall...."

MysteryGiIgamesh (10:22:55 PM): "The body of one......So tainted and marred........Should never be allowed........To seep within the confines......Of the soil.....At least.....Not before such......A rite of purification....."

MysteryGiIgamesh (10:23:18 PM): "And burning.....Is one such rite.....For it is said to clense the body......Ashes to ashes.......Dust......To dust...."

psychopenguin313 (10:24:04 PM): "How was he so tainted?"

Adm H Sopko (10:24:21 PM): ::Looks to him:: "It's a long story."

MysteryGiIgamesh (10:24:25 PM): ".......Yes....."

psychopenguin313 (10:24:28 PM): "..."

MysteryGiIgamesh (10:25:41 PM): "Shall we......Be moving now....?"

psychopenguin313 (10:25:57 PM): *shrugs*

psychopenguin313 (10:26:22 PM): "I have no intention of waiting for more imperfect justice."

Adm H Sopko (10:26:28 PM): "Well, bury or burning, we're doing it. So I suggest we go to a place where it can be properly performed"

MysteryGiIgamesh (10:26:54 PM): "The forests...........Are more proper a place.......Than any...."

MysteryGiIgamesh (10:27:09 PM): "Come.....There are always such things.......Near...."

Adm H Sopko (10:27:41 PM): ::Nods and reluctantly follows::

psychopenguin313 (10:27:47 PM): *follows as well*

MysteryGiIgamesh (10:27:53 PM): *stalks off, heading for the nearest forest*

Adm H Sopko (10:29:29 PM): ::Simply follows, carrying his dead friend on his shoulder::

psychopenguin313 (10:29:46 PM): *also heads along*

SirAlextheFirst (10:30:08 PM): To the forest you go.

MysteryGiIgamesh (10:30:17 PM): (Hi ho the derry-o.....)

SirAlextheFirst (10:30:23 PM): Kinda dark in there, but the moon is up, and full, so you can see well.

SirAlextheFirst (10:30:31 PM): Queklain's body doesn't bleed too much.

Adm H Sopko (10:31:09 PM): ::Doesn't really care if he bleeds on him. Should I?<G>::

MysteryGiIgamesh (10:31:41 PM): (The Blood of the Blood who is not of the Blood corrupts your blood!)

Adm H Sopko (10:32:26 PM): ((::Slaps:: ))

MysteryGiIgamesh (10:32:33 PM): (Hehe.)

MysteryGiIgamesh (10:33:28 PM): *picks a sparse copse of tree's, provided he can find one*

SirAlextheFirst (10:34:02 PM): Anyways. Moving on. Indeed, there's a nice secluded little grove just a ways in.

MysteryGiIgamesh (10:34:53 PM): "Mm......Here is.....A good place, perhaps....?"

Adm H Sopko (10:35:00 PM): ::Nods:: "I agree"

MysteryGiIgamesh (10:35:21 PM): "Lay him......Within the center....."

Adm H Sopko (10:36:50 PM): ::Complies::

MysteryGiIgamesh (10:37:18 PM): "Hmm...." *eyes the body, adjusting it as needed to be directly within the center*

psychopenguin313 (10:37:35 PM): *stands off a little to the side*

MysteryGiIgamesh (10:38:00 PM): "..............................Hmmm.......................... ..........................."

MysteryGiIgamesh (10:38:28 PM): *draws a short sword, and stalks off to the nearest tree, severing a small branch, and then meandering back to the corpse*

MysteryGiIgamesh (10:38:54 PM): *he places the branch vertically along the chest, folding the arms over it, palm over palm*

MysteryGiIgamesh (10:40:11 PM): *he then digs his short sword into the ground, cutting a circle around the corpse, as well as four diagnoal lines leading towards it*

MysteryGiIgamesh (10:40:59 PM): *eyes his work, he then inscribes an elven rune within each of the 4 parts of which the circle was divided*

MysteryGiIgamesh (10:41:26 PM): "Mm......" *turns to the others* "Mayhap any of you.........Have some sodium....?"

Adm H Sopko (10:41:39 PM): "Sodium? I can't say I do..."

MysteryGiIgamesh (10:42:12 PM): "Mm......Normally.....Salt is used..........But......If we have none, we.......Can do without...."

psychopenguin313 (10:43:08 PM): *just watches*

Adm H Sopko (10:43:09 PM): "Alright..."

MysteryGiIgamesh (10:43:21 PM): *traces his palm slowly and lightly over the edge of his shortsword, dripping a few drops into each rune he has scratched into the dirt*

MysteryGiIgamesh (10:44:12 PM): "....Mm....."

MysteryGiIgamesh (10:44:51 PM): *he switch his tongue to elvish, speaking a few words* (I'm just going to wing some elvish here, since I'm not using spanish as elvish. :P)

MysteryGiIgamesh (10:46:29 PM): "Faliaye moshayuim valiente morte vall sin maalae shun forestai masethuh silaefrashanae..."

MysteryGiIgamesh (10:47:01 PM): *the words ring clearly from his tongue, his voice somber but clear in the silence of the night*

MysteryGiIgamesh (10:47:48 PM): *he then thrusts his sword into the ground before the spectacle, and turns his head to the others behind, returning to the common tongue* "A torch now......If perhaps you will....?"

Adm H Sopko (10:48:50 PM): ::nods, reaching into his pack and handing him his last torch after lighting it::

MysteryGiIgamesh (10:49:06 PM): *nods, and takes it*

MysteryGiIgamesh (10:49:50 PM): *he then lights the body aflame, leaving the torch to burn with it*

MysteryGiIgamesh (10:50:54 PM): *he pulls his sword from the ground, and bows deeply before the flames, before sheathing it, and turning to his companions* "It......Is complete, now....."

MysteryGiIgamesh (10:51:26 PM): (And yes, the elvish speak was not meant to have the elipses. It's to signify that he's much better with his native tongue than others. >_>)

Adm H Sopko (10:51:34 PM): ::Nods, turning to the flames and kneeling once more, saying another prayer, as would Jerry probably::

psychopenguin313 (10:51:50 PM): *bows three times to the burning corpse*

MysteryGiIgamesh (10:52:13 PM): *walks from the copse as the others do thier little prayers and such*

SirAlextheFirst (10:52:28 PM): Alrighty.

MysteryGiIgamesh (10:52:34 PM): *and leans up against a tree, facing away from the spectacle*

SirAlextheFirst (10:52:46 PM): Post cremation, what's to be done now?

MysteryGiIgamesh (10:52:54 PM): (Whoops. I just accidentally summoned a balor. Quick, someone get me some holy water. XD)

MysteryGiIgamesh (10:53:23 PM): (and that was a joke, by the way. :P)

SirAlextheFirst (10:53:44 PM): (....heh....)

Adm H Sopko (10:54:07 PM): ::Finally says goodbye to his friend and walks to Jac:: "Does anyone remember where we were heading before we got incarcerated?"

MysteryGiIgamesh (10:54:33 PM): "Mm....."

MysteryGiIgamesh (10:55:11 PM): "We were headed.......To another church.....Correct? For information.....About this one named....Throkk...."

SirAlextheFirst (10:55:15 PM): (Asgard, I believe)

Adm H Sopko (10:55:48 PM): "Close... but not about Throkk..." ::Strains his mind to remember::

MysteryGiIgamesh (10:56:27 PM): (...Quick question...)

MysteryGiIgamesh (10:56:40 PM): (Did anyone remember to take quek's money BEFORE we lit his ass on fire?_

MysteryGiIgamesh (10:56:43 PM): *)

psychopenguin313 (10:56:50 PM): (Don't think so.)

MysteryGiIgamesh (10:56:52 PM): (If not....Oops.)

SirAlextheFirst (10:57:11 PM): HEH.

SirAlextheFirst (10:57:21 PM): I wondered if anyone was even going to notice that.

MysteryGiIgamesh (10:57:30 PM): (D'oh. There goes more funding. (-_-i))

MysteryGiIgamesh (10:58:21 PM): (Can we say we remembered to take it? Those magic swords costs lots....)

SirAlextheFirst (10:58:50 PM): No.

MysteryGiIgamesh (10:59:09 PM): (Damn. Back to killing things for money and power then, I suppose.)

SirAlextheFirst (11:01:11 PM): So...

SirAlextheFirst (11:01:22 PM): It's around 2 or 3 in the morning by now.

MysteryGiIgamesh (11:01:40 PM): *trances after setting up a small camp*

SirAlextheFirst (11:01:46 PM): Are y'all going to camp somewhere, or ride someplace, or kill the horses and run, or... okay.

psychopenguin313 (11:01:59 PM): *goes to sleep as well*

Adm H Sopko (11:03:09 PM): ::Follows suit, but stays up on first watch::

psychopenguin313 (11:03:35 PM): (Hrm.)

MysteryGiIgamesh (11:03:36 PM): *replaces his watch after 4 hours, and then performs the rest of the watches for the remainder of thier sleep*

SirAlextheFirst (11:04:06 PM): There's a fair bit of commotion at the guard station after a while.

SirAlextheFirst (11:04:16 PM): Nothing else interesting on watches.

psychopenguin313 (11:04:47 PM): (I have to go soon.)

SirAlextheFirst (11:05:42 PM): Next morning rolls around, and there don't seem to be any patrols out on the prowl or anything.

SirAlextheFirst (11:05:49 PM): Where shall y'all go?

psychopenguin313 (11:06:18 PM): *ponders* "So... do we continue towards Asgard?"

MysteryGiIgamesh (11:06:29 PM): *nods* "Use.....The forests...."

psychopenguin313 (11:06:43 PM): "... very well... lead the way, then."

MysteryGiIgamesh (11:06:46 PM): "I know them......Better, and it.....Would be easier to avoid.....Much attention..."

MysteryGiIgamesh (11:06:50 PM): *nods, and leads*

Adm H Sopko (11:06:53 PM): "I guess... it would be better to slip in this once though, until our names are forgotten."

psychopenguin313 (11:06:55 PM): *follows*

SirAlextheFirst (11:08:08 PM): Heh.

MysteryGiIgamesh (11:08:12 PM): (Feel free to throw us some Exp on legs, aka a monster...>_>)

Adm H Sopko (11:08:19 PM): (No)

SirAlextheFirst (11:08:19 PM): Wilderness Lore, Gil.

MysteryGiIgamesh (11:08:26 PM): (Survival, you mean. :P)

MysteryGiIgamesh (11:08:33 PM): (Survival=What WL became.)

SirAlextheFirst (11:08:37 PM): Make a check, I mean.

*OnlineHost* (11:08:40 PM): MysteryGiIgamesh rolled 1 20-sided die: 14

SirAlextheFirst (11:08:46 PM): Whatever the heck 3.5 calls it :P

MysteryGiIgamesh (11:08:48 PM): 21

SirAlextheFirst (11:09:27 PM): The sneaking through of the forests goes well. At what point, if any, were you planning on returning to the main roads?

MysteryGiIgamesh (11:09:50 PM): (When we're close to the destination)

Adm H Sopko (11:09:52 PM): After we were inside the border. We're heading towards the Temple of Gabriel

MysteryGiIgamesh (11:10:35 PM): (Gil has bloodlust. He needs to slay something, preferably bandit-related and human. >_>)

SirAlextheFirst (11:12:14 PM): Hm.

SirAlextheFirst (11:12:30 PM): Over and under and through the woods, to Gabriel's house we go...

SirAlextheFirst (11:13:07 PM): Tis midafternoon when you arrive in Asgard proper.

Adm H Sopko (11:13:08 PM): ((::Claps:: ))

MysteryGiIgamesh (11:14:13 PM): "Mm......City walls...."

SirAlextheFirst (11:14:38 PM): (Mm, city walls?)

SirAlextheFirst (11:14:44 PM): (o_O)

Adm H Sopko (11:14:56 PM): "Yeah... it's about time we got into a city again... we don't spend much time in these..."

MysteryGiIgamesh (11:14:58 PM): (...You said we were in Asgard proper. I thought that meant we were outside the city?)

SirAlextheFirst (11:15:16 PM): Fine, correct my grammer then. You're in Asgard, the city.

MysteryGiIgamesh (11:15:55 PM): "Mm....."

SirAlextheFirst (11:15:57 PM): And to the temple?

Kynalra (11:16:07 PM): (Well...thanx y'all for letting me watch, but I'm leaving. Good luck on your search for Throkk!)

Adm H Sopko (11:16:26 PM): (Yes, the temple)

SirAlextheFirst (11:16:28 PM): (Farewell)

(11:16:37 PM) Kynalra has left the room.

SirAlextheFirst (11:17:05 PM): It's the same as the last time you were here, although there are many fewer people on the streets, and no caravans in front with odd drivers.

Adm H Sopko (11:17:57 PM): ::Looks to the others and walks out ahead of the group as they walk in::

MysteryGiIgamesh (11:18:14 PM): *follows*

SirAlextheFirst (11:19:31 PM): The temple seems to have undergone a decor change recently. Instead of paintings and tapestries, the walls are lined with weapons.

psychopenguin313 (11:19:39 PM): *also follows*

SirAlextheFirst (11:19:42 PM): Lots and lots and lots of weapons, of all kinds.

Adm H Sopko (11:19:57 PM): ::He blinks, looking around and looking at Jacynth with a quizzical look::

SirAlextheFirst (11:20:02 PM): Some of the priests wave to you all.

MysteryGiIgamesh (11:20:15 PM): *looks back at him, with an odd look*

Adm H Sopko (11:20:46 PM): ::Nods to the priest, searching the room for the priest he met before, the one who healed the girl he was helping::

MysteryGiIgamesh (11:21:12 PM): *follows*

psychopenguin313 (11:21:50 PM): *mutely trudges along*

SirAlextheFirst (11:22:00 PM): And you find him, hurridly coming out of a doorway.

Adm H Sopko (11:22:28 PM): ::Flashes him a friendly smile and a wave:: "Hello!"

SirAlextheFirst (11:23:49 PM): Brother Joe runs straight into Hunter, and backs up some. "Sorry there, sir - hey! How've ya been there? What's brought you back here?"

Adm H Sopko (11:25:41 PM): ::Shrugs off the run-in with a laugh:: "It's alright. It's been happening to me a lot lately. But things have been a bit strange for me lately, and my friends and I have come to speak with the High Priest about some things,

Adm H Sopko (11:25:46 PM): if he is around."

SirAlextheFirst (11:26:20 PM): "You do know that's me, right?" *grins* "How can I help?"

Adm H Sopko (11:27:17 PM): ::He laughs a bit:: "I apologize, I had no idea. But anyway, it is a long story, so I suggest we find a place to sit."

SirAlextheFirst (11:27:59 PM): *sits on the floor*

psychopenguin313 (11:28:20 PM): *blinks*

MysteryGiIgamesh (11:28:35 PM): "..."

MysteryGiIgamesh (11:28:44 PM): *shrugs, and sits with him, reclining*

Adm H Sopko (11:30:25 PM): ::Sits right down, and begins to explain to him all the things that have happened since they first left the Temple of Gabriel in great detail.:: "And so, we figured here would be the best place to come, as we have no idea what

Adm H Sopko (11:30:51 PM): is desired of us in this endeavor, and we seem to have been making circles in our attempt to find answers."

SirAlextheFirst (11:32:03 PM): "So, one of the guys Called called died?"

Adm H Sopko (11:32:49 PM): ::He nods solemnly::

MysteryGiIgamesh (11:33:03 PM): ".............Mm............"

SirAlextheFirst (11:34:30 PM): "Well, that sucks. But the bandits were working with the archers, right? And the twisted black armor people were against them both?"

Adm H Sopko (11:35:42 PM): "I do not think the archers were working with the bandits we encountered. They were definately isolated incidents. But the Hunters were against them both, yes"

SirAlextheFirst (11:36:10 PM): "Isolated encounters at the same time?"

Adm H Sopko (11:37:43 PM): "Do you mean the Archers that killed Called, or the archers that attacked us with the bandits?"

MysteryGiIgamesh (11:38:01 PM): *just listen's intently*

SirAlextheFirst (11:38:19 PM): "Aren't they the same?"

Adm H Sopko (11:38:40 PM): ::Shakes his head::

psychopenguin313 (11:39:27 PM): (I have to go, sorry. 'night all.)

Adm H Sopko (11:39:27 PM): ::But then, gears start turning in his head::

SirAlextheFirst (11:39:59 PM): (Night)

Adm H Sopko (11:41:00 PM): ::Looks to Jac:: "Now that I think of it.. didn't the Archers seem a bit... different... from the bandits with the axes?"

MysteryGiIgamesh (11:41:55 PM): "....Mm.....I suppose...? I did not.......Get as good of........Glance at them...."

MysteryGiIgamesh (11:42:07 PM): "But....They did not.....Fire upon the.......Bandits either...."

Adm H Sopko (11:42:18 PM): "Well... remember how odd they acted, compaired to the bandits?"

MysteryGiIgamesh (11:43:06 PM): "Again.....I suppose....."

SirAlextheFirst (11:44:36 PM): "Weren't they both humming, you said?"

MysteryGiIgamesh (11:44:43 PM): *nods slowly*

Adm H Sopko (11:44:45 PM): ::He nods:: "Yes..."

SirAlextheFirst (11:46:18 PM): "And you didn't find any archer corpses, but you found the axe bandit bodies?"

MysteryGiIgamesh (11:46:52 PM): "We did......Not look for.....Archer corpses..."

MysteryGiIgamesh (11:47:02 PM): "We had more.....Pressing matters of.....Such that time."

Adm H Sopko (11:47:10 PM): "Actually, we managed to disable one of the archers, but he bit through his own arm and bled himself to death before we could question him"

SirAlextheFirst (11:48:16 PM): "Was his body still there in the morning?"

Adm H Sopko (11:48:34 PM): ::Shakes his head:: "I don't recall checking for it..."

MysteryGiIgamesh (11:49:30 PM): "I did not....Bother to check either......"

SirAlextheFirst (11:51:37 PM): "Well, then. Sounds like we should send out patrols to search for those other banditos."

MysteryGiIgamesh (11:51:44 PM): "...Hmmm....."

MysteryGiIgamesh (11:51:51 PM): "I could.......Do such a search......"

Adm H Sopko (11:52:02 PM): "Well, as I said... those Hunters are in town. I doubt the bandits will live long enough for us to find them"

MysteryGiIgamesh (11:52:50 PM): "It is still....Perchance worth a look.....However.....And it would be.....Not real trouble for I...."

MysteryGiIgamesh (11:52:54 PM): *No

SirAlextheFirst (11:53:28 PM): "You may be right, but still. Definately should up the guards on all caravans and such."

MysteryGiIgamesh (11:55:02 PM): "Mm.....Always a good notion..."

MysteryGiIgamesh (11:55:16 PM): *reclines slightly upon the floor, half-closing his eyes*

SirAlextheFirst (11:55:25 PM): "Other than that.... hmm."

SirAlextheFirst (11:55:48 PM): "Finding Throkk seems like a good plan, but it's really more up Tiyreal's ally than ours."

Adm H Sopko (11:56:25 PM): "Do you really think Throkk would care enough to meet us?"

SirAlextheFirst (11:57:12 PM): "I'd also suggest just researching everything you can about crazy archers, Hunter things, Called, and anything else that happens. Throkk? Oh, I'm sure he would. He's not an idiot like a lot of Tiyrealites."

SirAlextheFirst (11:57:25 PM): "Er, sorry, Brother Jerriford."

Adm H Sopko (11:58:47 PM): "Alright... if I may ask... what is your take on this situation?"

SirAlextheFirst (12:00:11 AM): "What part, exactly?"

Adm H Sopko (12:00:56 AM): "Well... we've been chosen by the god Gabriel. For what reason? No one knows."

MysteryGiIgamesh (12:01:16 AM): "All things have......A reason....."

MysteryGiIgamesh (12:01:35 AM): "Part of any reason......Is to discover why it is.......Such a reason....."

MysteryGiIgamesh (12:01:52 AM): "Even if we.......Cannot comprehend now......Such understand must.....Eventually follow."

Adm H Sopko (12:02:11 AM): ::Smirks:: "Well it's sort of frustrating when one of our friends has already died in the course of this cause, not even knowing why he was chosen"

MysteryGiIgamesh (12:02:26 AM): "Perhaps he was chosen........"

MysteryGiIgamesh (12:02:44 AM): "To be an example.....Of what shall happen, should.......You prove to such as he?"

MysteryGiIgamesh (12:02:49 AM): *to be

Adm H Sopko (12:02:57 AM): ::Turns to Jac:: "One last time. Shut up."

MysteryGiIgamesh (12:03:07 AM): *just stares at him blankly*

MysteryGiIgamesh (12:03:30 AM): "I did not mean the.....Comment directly to you....But rather...."

MysteryGiIgamesh (12:03:53 AM): "As a blanketed.......Statement, for all........Of those such as......Ourselves..."

SirAlextheFirst (12:04:26 AM): "o..... kay...."

MysteryGiIgamesh (12:06:30 AM): (*pokes chat* >_>)

MysteryGiIgamesh (12:06:35 AM): (I dunno what to say, heh.)

SirAlextheFirst (12:06:37 AM): "What my take would be on all this is that there's some really bad thing coming up. Maybe it's the archers, maybe the Hunters, maybe something else, or both, or all, but whatever it is, Called didn't cut it as a

SirAlextheFirst (12:06:40 AM): champion anymore."

MysteryGiIgamesh (12:08:01 AM): "Ill omens....."

MysteryGiIgamesh (12:08:19 AM): (Sword of Omens! Give me Sight Beyong Sight!)

MysteryGiIgamesh (12:08:24 AM): *Beyond

Adm H Sopko (12:09:58 AM): ::Nods:: "Maybe... and one last question... whats with the change in decor around here?"

Adm H Sopko (12:10:07 AM): "I mean, so many weapons."

SirAlextheFirst (12:10:38 AM): "Oh, that. Kinda a sign to keep the civil unrest down. People're getting a little uppity lately with the political floppings."

Adm H Sopko (12:11:01 AM): "Political floppings? What has happened in Asgard?"

SirAlextheFirst (12:12:09 AM): "Which you haven't heard about, of course, cause it was the last few days. Basically, King Heolstrom's gone off the deep end at last, or so says a lot of people."

MysteryGiIgamesh (12:12:26 AM): "....."

MysteryGiIgamesh (12:12:31 AM): "Ill omens......."

Adm H Sopko (12:13:04 AM): "Wow... but... hasn't there been someone that had been sort of handling things since he was sick?"

SirAlextheFirst (12:13:18 AM): "He's taken to sitting up in his chambers all day, refusing to rule on matters of politics, and he insulted the Whittyrian ambassador."

Adm H Sopko (12:14:25 AM): ::Shakes his head:: "This situation distresses me more and more every moment. Please tell us that at least some things have been stable?"

SirAlextheFirst (12:14:26 AM): "Handling things? Well, the ministers are doing all right and keeping things in order, but there's only so long they can go for without getting accused of undermining the throne."

MysteryGiIgamesh (12:16:03 AM): "Perhaps it would....Be best for us to......Vacate the city, then..."

SirAlextheFirst (12:16:24 AM): "Some people are loyal to the royal family and say he's still good to go. Some people think Priestess Morissey should take over, but she won't talk about it. And there's the usual loonies who think the entire system is

SirAlextheFirst (12:16:27 AM): outdated."

MysteryGiIgamesh (12:16:33 AM): "Such instabilities.......Will lead to many problems.......And we have enough......Of such now...."

Adm H Sopko (12:16:53 AM): "Yes... but before we leave we should at least know where we're going, and prepare"

SirAlextheFirst (12:17:59 AM): "I doubt there'll be any real problems, at least for a while, but the temples have been putting up displays of old knicknacks like these *points to the walls* to remind people not to be hasty."

Adm H Sopko (12:18:51 AM): "There are some prize pieces here, I must say"

MysteryGiIgamesh (12:20:20 AM): "Oh....?"

MysteryGiIgamesh (12:20:32 AM): *looks around at them, wondering if there are any he recognizes*

MysteryGiIgamesh (12:20:52 AM): (Aka: Elven made, or just something someone with a long lifepsan might know by look.)

MysteryGiIgamesh (12:20:56 AM): *lifespan

SirAlextheFirst (12:20:58 AM): Most certainly.

SirAlextheFirst (12:21:16 AM): There are all sorts of elven weapons, and other types nobody in the party even recognizes.

MysteryGiIgamesh (12:21:41 AM): "....Several weapons forged.....By the hands of.....The Blood, I see...."

SirAlextheFirst (12:22:35 AM): "Yep. We brought out the old stocks. Some of these date from the slaying of Karnage, and earlier."

Adm H Sopko (12:23:38 AM): ::Nods:: "And I spot a few that date more recently so some of the best crafters in the world today."

MysteryGiIgamesh (12:23:51 AM): "Hmmm....."

SirAlextheFirst (12:23:59 AM): "Yes indeed. Nice, huh?"

MysteryGiIgamesh (12:24:13 AM): (Makes me wonder if Johan's sword is up there, but I know he'd keep it, so it shouldn't be, heh.)

Adm H Sopko (12:24:20 AM): "You've impressed this follower of Gabriel" ::He smiles::

SirAlextheFirst (12:25:33 AM): "Heh. Thanks."

SirAlextheFirst (12:25:51 AM): "None of it's magical, of course. The GOOD stuff is under wraps."

Adm H Sopko (12:26:12 AM): "I'm sure it is. Wouldn't want it out where people could just take it"

MysteryGiIgamesh (12:26:46 AM): *looks around, still gazing at the weapons*

SirAlextheFirst (12:27:28 AM): Looking for something in particular?

Adm H Sopko (12:28:05 AM): ::I gaze around for the most exotic and strange looking weapon possible::

MysteryGiIgamesh (12:28:54 AM): (No, just anything.)

SirAlextheFirst (12:29:16 AM): The strangest weapon in here....

MysteryGiIgamesh (12:29:37 AM): (Is a giant, 30ft spiked, burning, golden phallus known as the Violator.)

SirAlextheFirst (12:30:11 AM): That would be a large oak log with some spikes, topped with a human skull.

MysteryGiIgamesh (12:30:29 AM): (I like my idea better. It's more exotic. XD)

SirAlextheFirst (12:30:50 AM): What makes it unusual is that that's the blade of a very large sword.

SirAlextheFirst (12:31:23 AM): The skull is at the tip, and there are four smaller blades projecting diagonally from the hilt.

SirAlextheFirst (12:31:42 AM): Those are normal sword blades, except for all the hooks and serrations in them.

Adm H Sopko (12:32:12 AM): ::Chuckles a bit:: "A very subtle way to keep down any unrest. Of course, I'm sure you're going more peaceful routes as well"

MysteryGiIgamesh (12:32:58 AM): Oo Unless all of the people decide to turn these weapons upon themselves....oO (And yes, he thinks without the elipses before and after every few words, heh.)

SirAlextheFirst (12:33:10 AM): "Oh, yes indeed. We've been talking with Gelendar, and they've agreed to help the entire nation of Asgard with whatever they need."

MysteryGiIgamesh (12:34:39 AM): "Hmm....."

MysteryGiIgamesh (12:34:44 AM): (Hey, Alex?)

MysteryGiIgamesh (12:34:52 AM): (Is anyone else going to show tonight?)

MysteryGiIgamesh (12:35:05 AM): (Since it'll be kind of hard just to continue with the two of us. =/)

MysteryGiIgamesh (12:35:20 AM): (Especially since Jacynth is usually quiet.)

SirAlextheFirst (12:35:23 AM): (I'm really doubting if anyone else is showing tonight...)

MysteryGiIgamesh (12:35:38 AM): (Damnit. (-_-i))

Adm H Sopko (12:35:53 AM): "That is good. Especially with the situation with the line of succession"

MysteryGiIgamesh (12:36:11 AM): "...What such......Situation?"

MysteryGiIgamesh (12:36:19 AM): "Does not......Helstrom have an aire?"

Adm H Sopko (12:36:36 AM): "They have a daughter. Unmarried. No sons"

SirAlextheFirst (12:36:55 AM): "Yep, just the Princess... say, son, did I catch your name?"

MysteryGiIgamesh (12:37:15 AM): "....My name....?"

MysteryGiIgamesh (12:37:57 AM): *he smiles a bit, a small sample of mirth in his voice* "I am........Hardly a son.......I am one of the Blood......By your standards.......I am ancient....."

SirAlextheFirst (12:37:58 AM): "Yes, I don't think I've seen you before. I'm Brother Joe, the head guy around here."

MysteryGiIgamesh (12:38:40 AM): "I am........Jacynth Dornkirk.......It is a pleasure......To be provided with......Your company, Brother Joe...."

SirAlextheFirst (12:39:02 AM): "And you too."

MysteryGiIgamesh (12:39:32 AM): *nods*

Adm H Sopko (12:40:32 AM): "I wish there was a way we could keep in touch with you while we are gone. Keeping up with the news here in Asgard seems like it will be of paramount importance in our journey"

Adm H Sopko (12:41:14 AM): (E-mail in D&D... Magic Mail? M-Mail? Or A-Mail for Astral Mail since it uses the Astral plane and not magic?<G>)

MysteryGiIgamesh (12:41:15 AM): "Carrier pidgeons......Could be arranged, perhaps....?"

MysteryGiIgamesh (12:41:30 AM): (Carrier pidgeons=E-mail in middle ages.)

SirAlextheFirst (12:41:39 AM): "Hm. Actually, I think I may have something for that..."

SirAlextheFirst (12:41:54 AM): Brother Joe runs off back through the door he came in through.

MysteryGiIgamesh (12:42:00 AM): (Imagine a whole flock of pidgeons with "wuts up lol" tied to thier feet flying about.)

MysteryGiIgamesh (12:46:11 AM): (...I think I stunned Alex dead.)

MysteryGiIgamesh (12:46:17 AM): (*steals exp* Mwahaha.)

Adm H Sopko (12:46:34 AM): ((Since Jerry isn't here, this propels me to the party member with the most exp<G>))

SirAlextheFirst (12:46:46 AM): (Yes, you did)

MysteryGiIgamesh (12:46:50 AM): (Hehe.)

MysteryGiIgamesh (12:47:01 AM): (And I think I have the most...Maybe? Not sure.)

MysteryGiIgamesh (12:47:33 AM): (3,750 right here. Green Archer Needs Leveling Badly!)

Adm H Sopko (12:47:38 AM): ((no. We had a few session before you got here. And I've been to every one of them. As had Jerry and Gorth until tonight))

SirAlextheFirst (12:47:41 AM): And Brother Joe returns, bearing three simple and worn metal circlets.

MysteryGiIgamesh (12:47:57 AM): (Green Archer Still Needs Leveling Badly!)

MysteryGiIgamesh (12:48:11 AM): "....And what......Are these...?" (I know!)

Adm H Sopko (12:48:17 AM): ((How the hell do you have 50 less exp than me? You were gone from sessions we gained 1000 exp combined in))

MysteryGiIgamesh (12:48:39 AM): (*shrugs* I tracked all gains accuratly.)

Adm H Sopko (12:48:49 AM): ((So have I))

SirAlextheFirst (12:49:08 AM): "Take these, and use them when you need to."

MysteryGiIgamesh (12:49:09 AM): (I forget what I started with, though.)

Adm H Sopko (12:49:29 AM): (Ahh... you started with exp. Thats why. NM<G>))

MysteryGiIgamesh (12:49:42 AM): (And, those are the old circlets the WoH's used.)

Adm H Sopko (12:50:10 AM): ::Nods in gratitude:: "Thank you, good priest."

MysteryGiIgamesh (12:50:31 AM): *nods as well* "And......Exactly what....Do these items do...?"

Adm H Sopko (12:50:48 AM): "Err.. yes... my question too"

SirAlextheFirst (12:51:33 AM): "They let you communicate telepathically with the other people wearing them, and a couple others who've got taps into the network, so to speak."

MysteryGiIgamesh (12:51:45 AM): *nods*

MysteryGiIgamesh (12:52:42 AM): *places the circlet around his head(

Adm H Sopko (12:53:05 AM): ::Nods and also tries it on::

SirAlextheFirst (12:53:20 AM): Nothing particularly unusual happens, except that it fits itself to your head sizes.

MysteryGiIgamesh (12:53:45 AM): "Hmmm...."

MysteryGiIgamesh (12:53:59 AM): (Now they'll find out that Jac doesn't think like he speaks, heh.)

MysteryGiIgamesh (12:54:12 AM): (And that most of his thought is in elvish. >_>)

MysteryGiIgamesh (12:54:39 AM): Oo An odd device. I wonder how it works? oO

SirAlextheFirst (12:56:00 AM): You can now broadcast thoughts to each other, and to the other people in the circlet telepathic network.

Adm H Sopko (12:56:24 AM): "As do I... it is pretty strange" ::He responds verbally, as if hearing it::

MysteryGiIgamesh (12:56:42 AM): Oo....oO

SirAlextheFirst (12:56:52 AM): Only things you choose to "send" can be heard by others, and you can send to everyone, a specific person only, or any number of people on the network.

SirAlextheFirst (12:57:20 AM): You can also project to people who aren't on the network, but are within 500 feet or so.

MysteryGiIgamesh (12:57:32 AM): (OoYo, Domino's! I need an a large extra-cheese, stat!oO)

MysteryGiIgamesh (12:58:11 AM): (Oo Dude! oO Oo Yeah? oO Oo Waaaaaaaaaaaazzzzzzzuuuuuupppppp! oO)

MysteryGiIgamesh (12:59:13 AM): Oo......I guess you can percieve my thoughts now, correct? oO

MysteryGiIgamesh (1:01:04 AM): (....Did I just stun you both again? I must watch myself. :P)

SirAlextheFirst (1:01:05 AM): <Joe: We sure can>

MysteryGiIgamesh (1:01:14 AM): Oo Interesting.....oO

MysteryGiIgamesh (1:02:20 AM): Oo I must learn to differentiate sending from not sending, then. oO

SirAlextheFirst (1:02:59 AM): <Joe: Shouldn't be that hard. Here, I'll get some more for the rest of y'all.>

MysteryGiIgamesh (1:03:10 AM): Oo This shall require some time to adjust to. oO

MysteryGiIgamesh (1:03:37 AM): (Arg...Bloodlust...Growing...>_>)

MysteryGiIgamesh (1:03:53 AM): (And, brb really quick.)

MysteryGiIgamesh (1:05:45 AM): (Back.)

MysteryGiIgamesh (1:06:22 AM): "Anyway.......I thank you for your........Gift to us......But, I have some things.....That I need to attend to....."

MysteryGiIgamesh (1:06:44 AM): *rises from his position, and begins a walk into the city* (Need to buy some things.)

SirAlextheFirst (1:07:23 AM): Joe returns with a circlet for everyone,.

SirAlextheFirst (1:07:29 AM): Yay for plot devices.

Adm H Sopko (1:07:53 AM): "Thank you, my friend."

SirAlextheFirst (1:08:32 AM): "Any idea on what you're going to do now?"

MysteryGiIgamesh (1:09:52 AM): *is out shopping* (Wheee!)

SirAlextheFirst (1:10:17 AM): Shopping in Asgard?

MysteryGiIgamesh (1:10:20 AM): (Mm.)

MysteryGiIgamesh (1:12:02 AM): (A migthy composite longbow, for starters)

MysteryGiIgamesh (1:12:06 AM): *mighty

MysteryGiIgamesh (1:12:33 AM): (+4. Not magical +, but this is how much Str bonus to damage it allows. Even though my Str bonus is only +3, heh.)

SirAlextheFirst (1:12:43 AM): I am indeed aware of that

Adm H Sopko (1:14:10 AM): ::He then stands:: "Okay, friend Joe. I think we have some errands to do before we all go out to meet Throkk. So if you'll excuse us, we'll keep in touch... apparantly"

MysteryGiIgamesh (1:14:31 AM): (Also, a few alchemists arrows.)

SirAlextheFirst (1:14:33 AM): <Joe: No problem. >

MysteryGiIgamesh (1:14:46 AM): (Alchemist's arrows=Expensive, but worth it, heh.)

MysteryGiIgamesh (1:15:22 AM): (Also, some thunderstone arrows, too.)

SirAlextheFirst (1:16:51 AM): All that's available in Asgard. You do get some black looks, of course, from salesmen who notice you stockpiling weapons.

MysteryGiIgamesh (1:17:23 AM): (Also, I'll sell my old bow, since I don't need it anymore.)

MysteryGiIgamesh (1:17:40 AM): (It's just a normal composite longbow.)

Adm H Sopko (1:17:49 AM): ::Soppy breaks off, walking off to buy some studded leather armor::

MysteryGiIgamesh (1:17:58 AM): (So...What costs what, and what can i get, heh?)

MysteryGiIgamesh (1:18:00 AM): *I

Adm H Sopko (1:22:28 AM): ::Matter of fact, no. There is no check with Leather. I'll keep it::

Adm H Sopko (1:24:39 AM): ::I still wander around, like I did when I met Lester::

SirAlextheFirst (1:25:24 AM): As before, there aren't so many people around on the streets as there used to be.

SirAlextheFirst (1:25:54 AM): The ones which are around seem either hurried, angry, or try to propagandize you.

Adm H Sopko (1:27:05 AM): ::Shrugs them off, going about his business as usual::

SirAlextheFirst (1:27:21 AM): And what is that business now?

SirAlextheFirst (1:27:33 AM): Trade companies?

SirAlextheFirst (1:27:41 AM): Caravan guarding>

SirAlextheFirst (1:27:42 AM): ?

Adm H Sopko (1:27:45 AM): No. Just wandering as usual

SirAlextheFirst (1:27:50 AM): Ah

Adm H Sopko (1:30:34 AM): One thing I never got about armor... why do people have their characters dodge like they have the evade skills of Citan when they're wearing heavy armor and the enemy misses the to hit?<G>

SirAlextheFirst (1:31:14 AM): Heh.

MysteryGiIgamesh (1:32:07 AM): *finishes his shopping, and looks for Sopp's*

Adm H Sopko (1:32:38 AM): I mean, they're wearing heavy armor, they don't have that much manuverability...

MysteryGiIgamesh (1:33:11 AM): (I dodge like Neo, and I'm only wearing studded leather, hehe.)

SirAlextheFirst (1:33:20 AM): Heh indeed.

SirAlextheFirst (1:33:31 AM): The party reuinites once more.

Adm H Sopko (1:33:36 AM): (Heh. What the hell is your AC?)

MysteryGiIgamesh (1:33:54 AM): (19.)

Adm H Sopko (1:34:04 AM): ... how?

MysteryGiIgamesh (1:34:15 AM): (Because I r t3h badass elf.)

Adm H Sopko (1:34:49 AM): Okay...

SirAlextheFirst (1:34:52 AM): High dex and armor.

MysteryGiIgamesh (1:34:53 AM): (I'm Gil, thats how. My characters usually end up with better-than average stuff, if only because I know what to buy and do.)

Adm H Sopko (1:36:15 AM): K

SirAlextheFirst (1:37:37 AM): So.

MysteryGiIgamesh (1:37:54 AM): (So...What to do now...)

SirAlextheFirst (1:38:10 AM): Wander aimlessly through the city?

SirAlextheFirst (1:38:29 AM): Find a library? Look in on politics?

MysteryGiIgamesh (1:38:29 AM): (Sure, might as well. Nothing else I can think of to do, heh. It's late right now...)

Adm H Sopko (1:38:40 AM): I could use a chance meeting with a certain girl... but I'm not important enough to do that yet<G>

MysteryGiIgamesh (1:38:58 AM): (Aww, sopy wants dirty dirty NPC sex. How cute.)

MysteryGiIgamesh (1:39:03 AM): *soppy

MysteryGiIgamesh (1:39:21 AM): (Bwahaha. ^_^)

SirAlextheFirst (1:39:31 AM): You think you're going to encounter important people on the street at this time of tension? :P

MysteryGiIgamesh (1:39:44 AM): ("Where's that catgirl whore? I'ma bang'er like a screen door in a hurricane!")

SirAlextheFirst (1:40:19 AM): (Balefire - Gil. 9999.)

MysteryGiIgamesh (1:40:24 AM): (XD)

SirAlextheFirst (1:42:41 AM): Random wandering, then.

MysteryGiIgamesh (1:43:06 AM): (Aye aye, cap'n.)

SirAlextheFirst (1:43:13 AM): Good.

SirAlextheFirst (1:43:49 AM): You wander into next session, when hopefully, more than a third of our players will show up.

MysteryGiIgamesh (1:43:55 AM): Yes.

SirAlextheFirst (1:44:08 AM): And I won't be so sleepy and out of it that it takes me two minutes to think of responses.

MysteryGiIgamesh (1:44:10 AM): Exp for being the only ones to show up, and still get important stuff done? >_>

MysteryGiIgamesh (1:44:20 AM): *need's levels badly* >_>

SirAlextheFirst (1:44:51 AM): Hm

SirAlextheFirst (1:44:55 AM): 800 for you both.

MysteryGiIgamesh (1:45:01 AM): Yay.

Adm H Sopko (1:45:17 AM): Yay.

SirAlextheFirst (1:45:21 AM): +200 for not being idiots.

MysteryGiIgamesh (1:45:30 AM): Yay!

SirAlextheFirst (1:45:40 AM): And I apologize.

MysteryGiIgamesh (1:45:50 AM): For what?

Adm H Sopko (1:45:58 AM): Yay!

SirAlextheFirst (1:46:15 AM): Sucking

MysteryGiIgamesh (1:46:21 AM): If people don't show up, nothing you can do about it, heh. And, you did fine.

Adm H Sopko (1:46:27 AM): Meh. We couldn't do much with so little people.

SirAlextheFirst (1:46:30 AM): I know it's disappointing to have no games for so long and then this

MysteryGiIgamesh (1:46:38 AM): Nah, it's alright.

MysteryGiIgamesh (1:46:52 AM): Even I had problems tonight, what with my glasses breaking and all that.

Adm H Sopko (1:46:56 AM): That wasn't the problem at all

MysteryGiIgamesh (1:47:06 AM): I spent two hours at the mall just getting news ones. *sighs*

SirAlextheFirst (1:47:21 AM): Nice journal, Gil.

Adm H Sopko (1:47:22 AM): My main problem was that I forgot most of what was happening, like, why we were heading to Asgard<G> I had to reread old texts<G>

MysteryGiIgamesh (1:47:27 AM): Journal?

MysteryGiIgamesh (1:47:31 AM): Oh, you read it? o_o

SirAlextheFirst (1:47:33 AM): Livejournal

MysteryGiIgamesh (1:47:35 AM): Wow, heh.

SirAlextheFirst (1:47:37 AM): You linked to it

MysteryGiIgamesh (1:47:39 AM): Thanks. ^_^

MysteryGiIgamesh (1:47:42 AM): I did?

MysteryGiIgamesh (1:47:47 AM): I forgot I did.

SirAlextheFirst (1:47:55 AM): MysteryGiIgamesh (8:55:59 PM): Today has been a bad day. My urge to slaughter hordes is growing by the second. MysteryGiIgamesh (8:56:01 PM): http://www.livejournal.com/users/solemngilga mesh/

MysteryGiIgamesh (1:47:59 AM): Ah.

SirAlextheFirst (1:48:02 AM): Up right near the top

SirAlextheFirst (1:48:20 AM): I have a weird habit of stalking people.

SirAlextheFirst (1:48:24 AM): Semi stalking.

SirAlextheFirst (1:48:28 AM): Not really stalking

SirAlextheFirst (1:48:40 AM): Just.... finding things out about them,. and stockpiling them.

MysteryGiIgamesh (1:48:56 AM): Well, there's almost too much about me to stockpile.

Adm H Sopko (1:48:58 AM): I might be starting to pick up that habit

Adm H Sopko (1:49:07 AM): I have every one Contender's real names on file

Adm H Sopko (1:49:10 AM): And some addresses too

SirAlextheFirst (1:49:26 AM): Well, yes, but you had a reason to collect them, and a petition.

SirAlextheFirst (1:49:32 AM): I just gathered most of them here and there.

Adm H Sopko (1:49:43 AM): I have Ciato's

SirAlextheFirst (1:49:56 AM): Interesting.

Adm H Sopko (1:50:01 AM): No one else does, I think. Of course, I have to take it to my grave, but still, I have it

SirAlextheFirst (1:50:21 AM): I have your phone number :P

MysteryGiIgamesh (1:50:23 AM): You know, only one person knows my address, heh.

MysteryGiIgamesh (1:50:29 AM): And a few have my number.

Adm H Sopko (1:50:33 AM): My cell phone probably

MysteryGiIgamesh (1:50:37 AM): About...

MysteryGiIgamesh (1:50:43 AM): 4 people have my number.

SirAlextheFirst (1:50:51 AM): Nope. Room phone.

MysteryGiIgamesh (1:50:53 AM): All of them girls I like. Conincidence? I think not.

MysteryGiIgamesh (1:51:00 AM): *coincidence

SirAlextheFirst (1:52:14 AM): Heh

Adm H Sopko (1:53:12 AM): 1200 to go for level 4 apparantly. I'll finally get a Dex bonus. Yay

SirAlextheFirst (1:53:53 AM): My real name has always been within a few clicks at GameFAQs.

SirAlextheFirst (1:54:16 AM): And there's prolly a ton of stuff on me out there somewhere.

MysteryGiIgamesh (1:54:31 AM): Heh.

MysteryGiIgamesh (1:54:55 AM): Hey Alex, how about free levelups? >_>

SirAlextheFirst (1:55:05 AM): Why all this? Because I'm weird, and I consider the people I've known online for a long time to be friends just as much as people I know IRL.

SirAlextheFirst (1:55:14 AM): Free levels?

MysteryGiIgamesh (1:55:18 AM): Meh. I'm almost the same way. >_>

SirAlextheFirst (1:55:26 AM): You'd have to beat The Ancients for that.

MysteryGiIgamesh (1:55:34 AM): The Ancients?

SirAlextheFirst (1:55:44 AM): Yes.

MysteryGiIgamesh (1:56:12 AM): Gimme five minutes to open my character file, and I'll have a character ready that could tear an entire pantheon a new asshole at level 16. :P

SirAlextheFirst (1:57:15 AM): Heh.

MysteryGiIgamesh (1:57:17 AM): And gimme 7 minutes, and I'll have a roughly-level 15-17 party that could eat most multiverses of existance alive, deities and all.

MysteryGiIgamesh (1:57:31 AM): And the sad part is, I'm not kidding about this.

SirAlextheFirst (1:57:55 AM): If you truly are consumed with bloodlust, we can set up fights, either D&D-style or RPGmon

MysteryGiIgamesh (1:58:01 AM): Ever seen what Gorth writes about me on the P+P Board, heh?

SirAlextheFirst (1:58:25 AM): Indeed.

MysteryGiIgamesh (1:58:33 AM): I believe his last post was something to the effect of "I have never seen another human being do what Gil does".

MysteryGiIgamesh (1:58:59 AM): It makes me both proud, and slightly ashamed, heh.

SirAlextheFirst (1:59:20 AM): Don't be ashamed of weird gaming accomplishments.

SirAlextheFirst (1:59:29 AM): I've got my FFT Oracle SSCC up to Yardow now.

MysteryGiIgamesh (1:59:56 AM): It's not so much an accomplishent as it is just me knowing how to create the most unholy combat monsters ever.

MysteryGiIgamesh (2:00:30 AM): Most of which could eat your average epic party alive at only level 15. And we're talking epic guy's that have at least 10+ levels on my guy.

MysteryGiIgamesh (2:00:45 AM): In fact, I did do that once.

MysteryGiIgamesh (2:01:21 AM): One guy, with toned down equipment, and used by a guy who didn't know how to use it as well as I did, completely demolished an epic party, all of which were at least level 27. And my guy was only level 15.

MysteryGiIgamesh (2:01:31 AM): There were 4 characters in the party, too.

MysteryGiIgamesh (2:02:19 AM): And when you consider that a challenge for one whole group is normally one guy the group's average level, well.....My lvl 15 should have died a horrible, horrible death.

SirAlextheFirst (2:02:30 AM): Heh.

MysteryGiIgamesh (2:02:43 AM): But not only did he win, he made the fighter get down on his knees and beg to live. ^_~

Adm H Sopko (2:03:25 AM): My favorite moment in my chat RPG... I had a few

Adm H Sopko (2:03:31 AM): Fighting at least

MysteryGiIgamesh (2:03:49 AM): My favorite moment in fighting was demolishing a Tarrasque, before it acted, by myself.

MysteryGiIgamesh (2:03:57 AM): And then watching the GM's reaction.

MysteryGiIgamesh (2:04:05 AM): Which was, to put it bluntly....Priceless.

Adm H Sopko (2:04:08 AM): How'd you manage that?

MysteryGiIgamesh (2:04:12 AM): Heh.

MysteryGiIgamesh (2:04:15 AM): I told you.

MysteryGiIgamesh (2:04:25 AM): I'm the best.

MysteryGiIgamesh (2:04:27 AM): ^_^

MysteryGiIgamesh (2:04:36 AM): Tarrasque has 840 HP.

MysteryGiIgamesh (2:04:41 AM): I dealt it over 1,000.

MysteryGiIgamesh (2:04:53 AM): Level 15 guy.

Adm H Sopko (2:05:36 AM): My stories are more realistic and funnier...

MysteryGiIgamesh (2:05:45 AM): Ever see anime where they do the dramatic flash, freeze, and then the bad guy slowly splits in half?

MysteryGiIgamesh (2:05:53 AM): Thats what I did to the tarrasque.

SirAlextheFirst (2:06:25 AM): I killed Gorth's final boss in one round. After holding back. That makes me laugh and weep.

MysteryGiIgamesh (2:06:30 AM): And, my stories aren't so much funny, as they are meant to make people go "How the fuck did you do that?". And I never tell'em how, either. Because I'm a prick. XD

Adm H Sopko (2:07:07 AM): First generation character Hunter, he and his friend had finally tracked down the friend's sister, who was a pretty powerful dark jedi. He stood back as the two fought, but when the sister knocked his friend unconcious, he leapt

MysteryGiIgamesh (2:08:05 AM): Ack, crap.

MysteryGiIgamesh (2:08:15 AM): It's late beyond late. (-_-i)

Adm H Sopko (2:08:17 AM): into the fight, only to have his weapons destroyed by her. So he picks up his friend's double bladed lightsaber (which had been modified to use only in one hand, and could only be used with one as there was no room for a second),

Adm H Sopko (2:08:53 AM): they fought for a bit before Hunter saw an opening to kill her, but it would require a move that would have cut off his own arm. Needless to say, Hunter needed a new arm after that

MysteryGiIgamesh (2:09:07 AM): I think I need some sleep, guys.

MysteryGiIgamesh (2:09:10 AM): And, cool story, heh.

MysteryGiIgamesh (2:09:15 AM): Good night, all. ^_^

SirAlextheFirst (2:09:15 AM): Good night, Gil

Adm H Sopko (2:09:18 AM): Night

(2:09:29 AM) MysteryGiIgamesh has left the room.

Adm H Sopko (2:09:46 AM): Want any more stories like that?<G>
