You have just entered room "DaoA Meets the Partridges."
Sarcazmo47 has entered the room.
Dark Japheth: Greetings to both of you.
Dark Japheth: *sighs* I wish I hadn't created a nation of bards.
Dark Japheth: At least I won't make you speak to them with a magical flute.
AndrewRogue: Breath of Fire'd!
AndrewRogue: <_<
AndrewRogue: Can we get the D. Hurt here though?
Dark Japheth: Uhh.
Dark Japheth: ....If there were dragons.
AndrewRogue: <_<
AndrewRogue: I don't need it that much.
Sarcazmo47: Maybe we'll meet an EVIL Bard.
AndrewRogue: ...I have been poisoned by diet drinks.
Dark Japheth: I believe you.
AndrewRogue: *curses about his roommate buying them*
Dark Japheth: Before I continue.
Dark Japheth: I have given up on the two people I invited.
Sarcazmo47: That's why you get the flats of cheap imitation soda from Walmart.
Sarcazmo47: Why did you do that?
Dark Japheth: They aren't ever on
Dark Japheth: And both suck. :P
Sarcazmo47: That'll do it.
Sarcazmo47: You need to find some not-suck people.
Sarcazmo47: Ready, go.
Dark Japheth: I do? I tried. :P
Dark Japheth: Don't either of you know people who don't suck?
Sarcazmo47: Staci.
Sarcazmo47: Hah!
Sarcazmo47: Monkey'd.
Sarcazmo47: Anyway.
AndrewRogue: Matt... should be pretty non-suck. Except he's not been on.
OriDrKultra has entered the room.
Dark Japheth: This man does not suck. However, he's always busy and sad.
OriDrKultra: O_o
Dark Japheth: So cheer him up, and get him to play in this game!
Dark Japheth: :P
AndrewRogue: *glomps Kultra*
OriDrKultra: I do not deny that Im always busy and Sad, cuz it usually is true >_>
OriDrKultra: yet im not a.....*stares at andrew*
AndrewRogue: Be happy, or I will *whisperwhisperwhisper*
OriDrKultra: *was glomped, and possibly is still glomped*
AndrewRogue: <3
OriDrKultra: that cant be good >_>;;;
AndrewRogue: Oh, yes it is <3<3<3
AndrewRogue: *un-glomps and smiles* Now remember, be happy!
Sarcazmo47: Andrew has all the power of Wuv at his disposal.
OriDrKultra: *is scared*
Sarcazmo47: No, no around here it's "happy"
Dark Japheth: Someone give him the basic recap of the story. So he can make a character and play in this game. :P
Sarcazmo47: Uhh...
Sarcazmo47: Stuff. Characters. Blowing up evil clerics with magic.
Sarcazmo47: Being pimerific.
Sarcazmo47: *pimperific.
Sarcazmo47: We have a diplomat/skillwhore, a fighter, a rogue, and a druid.
OriDrKultra: >_>;;;
OriDrKultra: so you guys are all covered?
Sarcazmo47: No arcanity.
Dark Japheth: Note lack of mage.
Dark Japheth: Note lack of cleric.
Sarcazmo47: The druid serves as a cleric.
Dark Japheth: Note lack of fighter because he's going to be moving. :P
Dark Japheth: Aha, but druids can't spontaneously heal.
Sarcazmo47: ...
Dark Japheth: Although admittedly, almost no cleric associated with this group would channel good energy ever.
Dark Japheth: :P
Sarcazmo47: Exactly.
OriDrKultra: O_o
Sarcazmo47: Did I leave anything out of the recap?
Dark Japheth: Ah yes. Skocion was raped.
Sarcazmo47: Oh, Kultra!
Dark Japheth: >.>
Sarcazmo47: You should play a paladin!
OriDrKultra: O_o
OriDrKultra: and if I didnt had to sleep becuase I have a job tomorrow
OriDrKultra: I would definitly play
Dark Japheth: ....You lie. You will play.
Dark Japheth: :P
Sarcazmo47: I have a job tomorrow.
Sarcazmo47: I work every freaking day of the week.
Sarcazmo47: Except for Sunday.
AndrewRogue: And he plays every freakin' day too.
Sarcazmo47: Hush, you.
OriDrKultra: But....Im lazy, so if I dont go to sleep right now, I wont get up
Dark Japheth: You also lie. :P
OriDrKultra: I dont
Dark Japheth: Do you have a real reason for not wanting to play? Or just more excuses and things that make me a sad DM.
OriDrKultra: Its not an excuse
OriDrKultra: I need to sleep or I wont be able to get to my job
OriDrKultra: I love the chance to be a PC in one of your games, but I need to sleep >_<
Dark Japheth: You make me a sad penguin, Kultra.
Dark Japheth: You realize I'm going to whine until you do this, right? :P
OriDrKultra: ;_;
Sarcazmo47: Don't make Gorth whine.
OriDrKultra: Yes, but you do realize that this is basically one of the only 4 jobs I do in the year
OriDrKultra: if I miss, I set a bad record, since all 4 jobs are in the same place
Sarcazmo47: So don't miss.
OriDrKultra: I have to sleep to not miss
Sarcazmo47: Replace your sleep with caffinee.
OriDrKultra: which is why Im saying good night ^_^
Sarcazmo47: Bah.
Sarcazmo47: Good night.
OriDrKultra: Good Night Sarcazmo47
OriDrKultra: Good Night AndrewRouge
AndrewRogue: Bah
OriDrKultra: Good Night Gorthaur
OriDrKultra: Good Night Kultra ^_^
Dark Japheth: Good night moon.
AndrewRogue: You'll regret this. Oh you will <3
AndrewRogue: *smiles*
OriDrKultra: @_@
OriDrKultra: Good Night Book :p
OriDrKultra has left the room.
Sarcazmo47: Anyway.
AndrewRogue: Are we prepared to go out, and Ninja in the Night?
Sarcazmo47: Bandon casts Inquisition on Gorth.
Dark Japheth: I am ready. For Nellix is done speaking with Scratch.
AndrewRogue: Oh?
Dark Japheth: Yeah.
Sarcazmo47: Did they talk about the PC's?
Dark Japheth: Dude, Scratch is dead and doesn't care about you, and Nellix is a god.
Dark Japheth: Why would they talk about you?
Dark Japheth: *wouldn't
Dark Japheth: :P
Sarcazmo47: Because we're the PC's, dammit!
AndrewRogue: Indeed!
Sarcazmo47: So is Landus going to learn Black Panda style?
Dark Japheth: Nope!
Dark Japheth: *grins*
AndrewRogue: Aww. Can he learn to be a Ninja of the Night at least ;_;
Sarcazmo47: Is that because Gorth doesn't like martial arts styles?
AndrewRogue: :p
Sarcazmo47: Or because Gorth is going to make up a better style?
AndrewRogue: No, because the first master shall brutally kill us :p
Sarcazmo47: Naaaah.
Dark Japheth: Gorth does not like martial arts styles.
Sarcazmo47: Too bad.
Dark Japheth: However, I think the ones provided in OA are sufficient.
Sarcazmo47: I don't even look at OA.
Dark Japheth: Furthermore, I do not *at all* want to incorporate another secretive organization in my game.
Sarcazmo47: Secretive?
Dark Japheth: If I add too many more, it'll be like WoD- no real humans, everyone is Fey, Vampire, Mummy, Hunter, Werewolf, Demon, or Mage
Sarcazmo47: I would think it would be some old guy in a forest grove somewhere.
AndrewRogue: HEH
Sarcazmo47: It's Pai Mei!
Sarcazmo47: Fuck you both for not getting that reference.
Sarcazmo47: Nevermind.
Sarcazmo47: I am prepared to ninja!
Sarcazmo47: *is prepared*
Dark Japheth: ~-~-~BEGIN~-~-~
Sarcazmo47: Whee!
Sarcazmo47: They wake up.
Dark Japheth: You are awakened, and as you awaken, you see two figures in the rising sun, slowly walking towards you.
Sarcazmo47: Whee!
Sarcazmo47: Skocion doesn't.
Sarcazmo47: Are they coming from the direction we were coming from?
Dark Japheth: Yes.
AndrewRogue: *rises slowly and sorta non-threateningly* "Guests boss."
Sarcazmo47: GREEEAT!
Sarcazmo47: Skocion gives up on the half-prepared breakfast and lets Landus orient him to their guests.
AndrewRogue: "Green robes, and one of them looks blind." *does the seeing eye-harpy thing*
Sarcazmo47: "Interesting."
Sarcazmo47: He blinks, and shoves the holy symbol inside his shirt.
AndrewRogue: "He's the one walking."
Sarcazmo47: Skocion nods and waits for them to get close.
Dark Japheth: The two are clearly druids. Man, don't you wish you knew where Riannon was? I do. :P
Dark Japheth: One wields a scythe, and the blind one, you notice, has many animal features- most notably, a set of claws coming from his hands, which really are more like paws.
Sarcazmo47: Cool.
Dark Japheth: The blind one also has leaves instead of hair. :P
Sarcazmo47: Also cool.
AndrewRogue: (Geomancer'd)
Sarcazmo47: Who is totally not taking advantage of the Geomancer class abilties!
AndrewRogue: "The blind one... Eh heh... looks like he ran into a bunch of animals and a bush."
Dark Japheth: "Baron Skocion Atrox. And Landus." They smile. "Where are you going?"
Dark Japheth: The blind one speaks. The one on a horse is smiling.
Sarcazmo47: Skocion gives a half-bow. "To Jolir, or so the rumor goes. Were you looking for us?"
Dark Japheth: "Yes." The blind one steps forward.
Sarcazmo47: Skocion gets just a bit warier.
Sarcazmo47: "How flattering. Why?"
Dark Japheth: The one on the horse wryly smiles, and speaks up, a rather wispy voice. "Why don't you tell us why we are looking for you."
AndrewRogue: *Landus shrugs* "I wouldn't know."
Sarcazmo47: Skocion just blinks.
AndrewRogue: Sense Motive for intentions here though <_<
Sarcazmo47: Me too!
AndrewRogue: If I could.
*OnlineHost*: Sarcazmo47 rolled 1 20-sided die: 12
*OnlineHost*: AndrewRogue rolled 1 20-sided die: 17
AndrewRogue: 34
Sarcazmo47: 22.
Dark Japheth: They aren't after Skocion because he is unrepentant.
Dark Japheth: If they want him, its for an entirely different reason.
AndrewRogue: Do their intentions seem hostile?
Sarcazmo47: Or are they just being creepy?
Dark Japheth: They seem to be just damn creepy.
Sarcazmo47: So, Skocion lets Landus's comment stand.
Dark Japheth: "Are you familiar with Nellix, the sorceror avatar of Nature?"
Sarcazmo47: "I've heard the name before."
AndrewRogue: *nods in assent*
Dark Japheth: "Then you might wish to know that we are his servants."
Dark Japheth: "And he will not tolerate your evil."
AndrewRogue: *takes that as a lovely cue to fall into a defensive stance*
Dark Japheth: The blindfolded man smiles, and adds. "But we are not seeking violence."
Sarcazmo47: Skocion blinks.
Dark Japheth: "We seek a reason. Why you act as you do. Provide us one, and we will leave you be. Otherwise, we will test your skill in combat."
Sarcazmo47: "Then go somewhere else, and tolerate me as little as you like."
Sarcazmo47: Kick that up above yours.
Sarcazmo47: "I'm rather curious as to why you're here, and what you think you know about us."
Dark Japheth: "We are here because we do not wish you to continue your evil."
Dark Japheth: "We know only that which we have seen."
Sarcazmo47: "My evil road-walking? Yes, a threat to all mankind, to be sure."
Dark Japheth: "You are a murderer, a slanderer, a man who willingly and semi-openly worships an avatar of Tyranny."
Sarcazmo47: "Or perhaps you've disapprove of my nightly indiscretions. You're not angry parents wearing elaborate disguises, are you?"
Dark Japheth: "No, we are not."
AndrewRogue: *can't quite restrain a chuckle*
Sarcazmo47: "Murderer? Men murder all the time. In fact, an associate of mine was murdered just days ago. You don't seem to be upset about that."
Sarcazmo47: "Ah, I see. It's all in who gets killed. What, did I kill someone you liked?"
Sarcazmo47: "Or are you protective of some evil clerics and not others?"
Sarcazmo47: His tone is scathing.
Dark Japheth: "No."
Dark Japheth: "He was slain in combat, not murdered."
Sarcazmo47: "Mmm. Combat brought to his doorstep."
Dark Japheth: "There is a large difference. Murder is fighting unfairly, or slaying with deceit."
Sarcazmo47: "Unfair? Please. There is no such thing, and you are pretentious and arrogant to suggest it."
Sarcazmo47: "There is no gentle way to destroy. Do not argue otherwise."
Sarcazmo47: "Do not decry mine while protecting your own, or that of others."
AndrewRogue: "Whose murder are you complaining about anyway?"
AndrewRogue: *'murder'
Dark Japheth: "A peasant."
Dark Japheth: "Regardless, Skocion, of the circumstances of the world, this gives you not the right to inflict them upon others."
Sarcazmo47: "So your god says."
Sarcazmo47: He sounds unimpressed.
Sarcazmo47: "You are not my judges or my masters. You are rude and unjustified, and under no moral ground am I answerable to you."
Sarcazmo47: "Unless you wish to make this a test of strength, in which case, in what way are you less tyrannous than I?"
Dark Japheth: "Indeed. Your points have merit. Which is why we are allowing you freely to choose your path. Run now, and admit your fear and loathing which denies you the ability to evaluate your own actions..."
Dark Japheth: "Or stand up to us, fight, or at least intelligently defend your ground, rather than attacking ours."
Sarcazmo47: He ponders whether or not to answer.
*OnlineHost*: Sarcazmo47 rolled 1 20-sided die: 9
*OnlineHost*: Sarcazmo47 rolled 1 2-sided die: 2
Sarcazmo47: Nope.
AndrewRogue: *Landus snorts* "Where do you get off calling us evil anyway?"
Sarcazmo47: He could say something like "Way to resort to insults, jackass." Or "Your arguments are weak." But he doesn't. What would be the point?
Sarcazmo47: He's done with these people.
Sarcazmo47: He turns his back on them and goes back to his breakfast.
Dark Japheth: They turn to Landus. "What of you, sir?"
AndrewRogue: "I'm wondering why you think you have the right to judge me for what I do. I'm vaguely curious about our 'great evils.'"
Dark Japheth: "We have no right. You need not answer our questions, although we ask it of you."
Sarcazmo47: Now, see, if they wanted to approach it that way, they should have done so before they pissed Skocion off.
AndrewRogue: "Fine. I'll give you an answer then." *he waves a hand dismissively* "Pussy-footing around gets you nowhere in life. If you need to accomplish something, then you do it."
Dark Japheth: "Action over inaction. You are wise."
AndrewRogue: "Sometimes you have to do unsavory shit along the way. Whatever. Eh heh... dog eats dog I suppose."
AndrewRogue: (*vaguely references Hobbes because Philosophy is fun* <_<)
Dark Japheth: "A wise philosophy. You are just. And there is hope for you."
Dark Japheth: "We will bother you no more for now." They continue to walk down the path, as you eat breakfast.
AndrewRogue: *actually starts laughing as he sits down to eat breakfast* "I think people get confused when they look at me."
Sarcazmo47: Skocion shrugs. "For what it's worth, I don't."
Sarcazmo47: Yeah, they're followers of Nellix allright.
AndrewRogue: "Good to know." *he sighs* "I'm almost disappointed. I wouldn't have been too abject to throwing them on the ground."
Sarcazmo47: Overinformed, uninformitive, judgemental, and incredibly arrogant.
Sarcazmo47: "They annoyed me greatly."
AndrewRogue: "No shit. I hate people bothering me before breakfast."
Sarcazmo47: He sighs, then shakes his head. "No use in dwelling on it. Eat."
Sarcazmo47: He follows his own advice.
Sarcazmo47: And then the ride to Jolir some more!
AndrewRogue: *does so as well, and the does so as well*
Dark Japheth: You've got at least a good week. :P
AndrewRogue: Well then, we have a LONG ride :p
Sarcazmo47: Yep.
Sarcazmo47: Skocion meditates at night, too.
Sarcazmo47: All comtemplative and shit. Yo.
Dark Japheth: You know, at about this time, I'm going to spring on something I find funny.
Sarcazmo47: Bring it.
Dark Japheth: Well actually, I won't.
Sarcazmo47: You suck.
Dark Japheth: Not unless someone wants to ask Scratch exactly what he and Nellix spoke about.
AndrewRogue: Landus stands his watches and all that.
Sarcazmo47: Why, yes!
Dark Japheth: Can I get the link to that map?
Sarcazmo47: Map'd!
AndrewRogue: How embarassing. I knew I forgot something.
Dark Japheth: And/or get the map put up on the main site so I can access it? :P
AndrewRogue: http://www.oocities.org/terrybrash/Am aryllis.JPG
Dark Japheth: Holy shit.
Dark Japheth: Thats not a week. We're talking a month of travel.
Dark Japheth: :P
AndrewRogue: Well then. We ride for a Looooooooooong time.
Sarcazmo47: Really?
Dark Japheth: Your path will bring you through a city in a week, another city in a week, Jolir in another, and Thormik in the end.
Sarcazmo47: It was a week from Tamerand to Rivas Kul.
Sarcazmo47: And that's about the same distance between Tamerand and Jolir.
Dark Japheth: Want the IC reason or OOC reason?
Sarcazmo47: Uh...both.
AndrewRogue: I imagine OOC has to deal with wanting more than 2 players?
Sarcazmo47: Sorry, I just died of laughter.
Sarcazmo47: The city of Sibbie.
Sarcazmo47: BWAHAHAAHAHAHAHA
AndrewRogue: *misses the joke*
Sarcazmo47: I will never ever ever ever ever ever write a song about Sibbie!
Dark Japheth: Indeed. :P
Dark Japheth: OOC- I had both lost my map, and I did not want a month of Worthless Traveling
Dark Japheth: IC- Niniel did it, she's a wizard, the wizard did it
Dark Japheth: *bard
AndrewRogue: Curses.
Sarcazmo47: I see.
AndrewRogue: Can we make her do it now? <_<
Sarcazmo47: BWAHAHA
Dark Japheth: Hmm
Dark Japheth: No.
Dark Japheth: :P
Sarcazmo47: "Can I take levels of Iaijutsu Master?"
coughingpuppy has entered the room.
coughingpuppy: Hey, guys.,
AndrewRogue: Hey Staci ^_^
Dark Japheth: omg hi
coughingpuppy: What's going on?
AndrewRogue: OMGhi2u! Howru?
Sarcazmo47: Followers of Nellix showed up.
Dark Japheth: It turns out they are exactly like him.
coughingpuppy: i m doin gr8!
Sarcazmo47: They were uninformitive, overknowledgeable, arrogant, and judgemental.
Sarcazmo47: Exactly like him, yeah.
coughingpuppy: Whoa! You don't say.
AndrewRogue: Heh
Sarcazmo47: Anyhway.
Sarcazmo47: They were mildly druid-y.
Sarcazmo47: But they were all good and crap.
coughingpuppy: Also as one would expect.
coughingpuppy: Did we smite them?
Sarcazmo47: No, Skocion called them pretentions bastards.
Sarcazmo47: And they said "Good point. You wann argue about it?"
Dark Japheth: One was a seemingly blind geomancer. Therefore they were afraid
Sarcazmo47: And Skocion ate breakfast instead.
coughingpuppy: Like a good boy.'
AndrewRogue: Yay.
coughingpuppy: Did he finish his play?
Sarcazmo47: Yep.
Dark Japheth: Yes, with a *the play is finished*
AndrewRogue: Yep. Then got flayed for it ^_^
Sarcazmo47: Yep.
Sarcazmo47: Yep.
coughingpuppy: He got flayed for it?
Sarcazmo47: Well, he got whipped a bit.
Sarcazmo47: And OH
Sarcazmo47: Make a Knowledge Religion check!
AndrewRogue: His sister is a major contact now. We managed to survive a day of him having to display his holy symbol all day as punishment and now we're going to Jolir and such.
*OnlineHost*: coughingpuppy rolled 1 20-sided die: 3
coughingpuppy: Why did he get whipped?
Dark Japheth: A major contact for Landus.
Dark Japheth: Not for Skocion.
coughingpuppy: Only 8.
Sarcazmo47: I don't think you successfully identify the trident with the tentacle.
Sarcazmo47: BWAHAHA
coughingpuppy: Whoa. I take it she and Landus got along well then.
AndrewRogue: Oh. *marks that on his sheet*
Sarcazmo47: Skocion's secret is safe!
Sarcazmo47: ....sorta.
Sarcazmo47: Not really
coughingpuppy: *reading logs to catch up*
AndrewRogue: Yeah. They got along fine. Sadly it was only Skocion who scored with a 50+ Diplomacy check.
AndrewRogue: *kicks Landus*
coughingpuppy: You know, Kirk, almost all of your characters are manwhores.
Dark Japheth: Tell the best part, about how she's the daughter of a paladin.
Dark Japheth: Well, a Paladin/Cleric multiclass. With a celestial alacorn mount.
Sarcazmo47: Not true!
Dark Japheth: It might be, you never met daddy.
Sarcazmo47: Felix is not a manwhore!
Sarcazmo47: Er.
coughingpuppy: Yes he is!
Dark Japheth: lol
Sarcazmo47: Verity is not a manwhore!
coughingpuppy: That one. That's the only one.
Sarcazmo47: Glack is not a manwhore!
Sarcazmo47: Glack is pure 100% killing machine.
coughingpuppy: Glack also probably doesn't have a whole lot of character development.
Sarcazmo47: That's true.
Sarcazmo47: He's mostly a gnome.
Sarcazmo47: But he's a freaking BADASS
Dark Japheth: ....You play a gnome.
Dark Japheth: And dare to claim badassness.
Sarcazmo47: My gnome will fight ANYONE.
Sarcazmo47: BRING IT
coughingpuppy: His gnome is pretty badass.
Dark Japheth: Anyone?
Sarcazmo47: Anyone of equivalent ECL.
Dark Japheth: Whats his ECL?
Sarcazmo47: 10.
Dark Japheth: *looks*
Sarcazmo47: Staci, he questions the gnome.
coughingpuppy: Don't worry, soon he'll be sorry.
AndrewRogue: My characters can take... nothing. Ever.
AndrewRogue: <_<
coughingpuppy: I bet Aurelia could take him.
coughingpuppy: Or maybe even Caradoc.
coughingpuppy: Caradoc's almost level 10.
Dark Japheth: ...
Sarcazmo47: Come on.
Sarcazmo47: Who wants to fight the gnome.
Sarcazmo47: 15th level characters or lower.
Sarcazmo47: Bring it.
AndrewRogue: *goes and sits in a corner*
coughingpuppy: Yes, Gorth, I see the funny coincidence. Caradoc's my ranger/duelist who gets four attacks a round. With precise strike.
Dark Japheth: I have two choices for you.
Sarcazmo47: Dear, you know Precise Strike only works when you fight with only one weapon, right?
Dark Japheth: Absolom, the Cleric
Dark Japheth: or Zao-Lot, the mage.
Dark Japheth: Both are mere level 9.
Sarcazmo47: Both.
coughingpuppy: Well, it only works with one weapon. So she only gets the use of one weapon that round.
Sarcazmo47: I could be wrong, but I think the descriptions specifically states "nothing in the other hand"
Sarcazmo47: My gnome will take on both of your spellcasters at once.
Sarcazmo47: Let's go.
coughingpuppy: Mrrrrr? *looks it up*
Dark Japheth: ...Before we do this
Dark Japheth: What are his levels?
Dark Japheth: :P
Sarcazmo47: Fighter.
Sarcazmo47: 10.
AndrewRogue: ...I'm going to write for a bit. Someone IM me when attention is needed. I'll catch up on the duel after.
Dark Japheth: Alright.
Dark Japheth: We start
*OnlineHost*: Dark Japheth rolled 1 100-sided die: 75
Dark Japheth: 75 feet from each other.
Sarcazmo47: Awsome.
Dark Japheth: Does this sound reasonable?
Sarcazmo47: The gnome is invisible, by the way.
Dark Japheth: Which is... hmm.
Sarcazmo47: They can hear him.
Sarcazmo47: Trust me,.
Dark Japheth: Zaolot has Detect Invisibility, so thats cool. But Absolom is pretty dead here.
Dark Japheth: Yeah, once you mentioned Invisible, I'm toast. :P
Sarcazmo47: That's nice.
Sarcazmo47: Fine.
Sarcazmo47: No invisibilty.
Sarcazmo47: He won't even use his magic ring.
Dark Japheth: Ok.
Sarcazmo47: Inits!
*OnlineHost*: Sarcazmo47 rolled 1 20-sided die: 6
Sarcazmo47: 13.
Dark Japheth: Absolom.
*OnlineHost*: Dark Japheth rolled 1 20-sided die: 4
Dark Japheth: 5.
Dark Japheth: And Zao
*OnlineHost*: Dark Japheth rolled 1 20-sided die: 12
Dark Japheth: 18.
SirAlexTheFirst has entered the room.
Sarcazmo47: What's this?
Dark Japheth: I can't believe my eyes!
Sarcazmo47: Anyway.
Sarcazmo47: Go, Zao Lot.
Dark Japheth: Mhmm.
Dark Japheth: *looks up range on Enervation*
Sarcazmo47: Alex, he questioned the Gnome.
SirAlexTheFirst: ....
SirAlexTheFirst: What Gnome?
Sarcazmo47: Glack.
SirAlexTheFirst: .....
Sarcazmo47: Anyway.
Dark Japheth: Zao opens with Phantasmal Killer.
Sarcazmo47: Great.
Dark Japheth: Will, then Fort.
Sarcazmo47: DC?
SirAlexTheFirst: HI!!! MY NAME'S GLACK!!!!!!
*OnlineHost*: Sarcazmo47 rolled 1 20-sided die: 5
Dark Japheth: OMG GLACK
*OnlineHost*: Sarcazmo47 rolled 1 20-sided die: 13
Dark Japheth: DC is 24.
Sarcazmo47: DC?
Sarcazmo47: Cool.
Sarcazmo47: I fail the will and pass the fort.
Dark Japheth: So take your 3d6!
*OnlineHost*: Dark Japheth rolled 3 6-sided dice: 3 1 5
Dark Japheth: Your turn.
coughingpuppy: I remember the last time I rolled against Phantasmal Killer...
Dark Japheth: Mm.
Sarcazmo47: I run up next to the cleric.
Sarcazmo47: His turn.
Dark Japheth: So do I, and I wasn't even doing anything.
Dark Japheth: 75 feet away. :P
Sarcazmo47: Yes.
Sarcazmo47: I run.
Dark Japheth: OH, right.
Sarcazmo47: 30 x 3 = 90.
Dark Japheth: He takes a five foot step back.
Dark Japheth: Whats he wearing?
Dark Japheth: I.e. heat metal, or Hold Person?
Sarcazmo47: The gnome?
Sarcazmo47: Full Plate.
Dark Japheth: Ah.
Dark Japheth: Heat Metal. *looks up spell*
Dark Japheth: Actually, no.
Dark Japheth: Hold Person.
Sarcazmo47: DC?
*OnlineHost*: Sarcazmo47 rolled 1 20-sided die: 12
Dark Japheth: ...16. :P
Sarcazmo47: 21.
Sarcazmo47: Aww, too bad.
Sarcazmo47: Zao Lot.
Sarcazmo47: Go.
Sarcazmo47: Oh, yeah.
Sarcazmo47: The gnome is wielding a medium-sized bastard sword and has an animated tower shield.
Dark Japheth: Zao-Lot turns into a Firbolg.
Dark Japheth: Your turn.
Sarcazmo47: Cool.
Sarcazmo47: I take a five foot step.
Sarcazmo47: And full attack the cleric.
Sarcazmo47: AC?
Dark Japheth: 20.
*OnlineHost*: Sarcazmo47 rolled 1 20-sided die: 8
Sarcazmo47: Hit.
*OnlineHost*: Sarcazmo47 rolled 1 10-sided die: 7
Sarcazmo47: 23.
Dark Japheth: Hit.
Dark Japheth: :P
Sarcazmo47: Second attack.
Sarcazmo47: No, that's damage.
Sarcazmo47: 23 damage.
Dark Japheth: ...Ouch.
*OnlineHost*: Sarcazmo47 rolled 1 20-sided die: 8
Sarcazmo47: Second attack, 23, hits.
Dark Japheth: +16 to damage is nice. :P
Sarcazmo47: Oh, yeah.
Sarcazmo47: Sorry.
Sarcazmo47: My mistake.
Sarcazmo47: 22 damage.
*OnlineHost*: Sarcazmo47 rolled 1 10-sided die: 4
Sarcazmo47: And 19 with the second hit.
Sarcazmo47: Your turn!
Dark Japheth: Lan's Clone, Absolom, takes a five foot step back.
Dark Japheth: Actually.
Dark Japheth: No, nix that.
Dark Japheth: He uses a standard action to activate Wings of Flying.
Sarcazmo47: Oh!
Sarcazmo47: Wait.
Dark Japheth: I don't recall if that provokes an AoO. If so, take it. :P
Sarcazmo47: He needs 2 fort saves, too.
*OnlineHost*: Dark Japheth rolled 2 20-sided dice: 10 13
Dark Japheth: 18, and 21.
Sarcazmo47: Against Deathblade poison, DC 20.
Sarcazmo47: Okay, so the first one deals 1d6 con.
Dark Japheth: ok.
Dark Japheth: Roll it.
*OnlineHost*: Sarcazmo47 rolled 1 6-sided die: 5
Sarcazmo47: Does that lower the second save?
Dark Japheth: By two.
Sarcazmo47: Oh jeez.
*OnlineHost*: Sarcazmo47 rolled 1 6-sided die: 4
Sarcazmo47: 9 points of Con damage, total.
Sarcazmo47: Anyhoo.
Dark Japheth: Absolom is down on his turn.
Sarcazmo47: He is?
Dark Japheth: Well on your turn.
Sarcazmo47: Bummer.
Dark Japheth: Thats 78 damage. :P
Sarcazmo47: Yep.
Sarcazmo47: Zao-Lot, go!
Sarcazmo47: Do better than the cleric!
Dark Japheth: I believe I can.
Dark Japheth: Firbolg grins, and turns into...
*OnlineHost*: Dark Japheth rolled 1 4-sided die: 4
Dark Japheth: 7 Firbolgs.
Sarcazmo47: Badass.
Sarcazmo47: Glack takes a full round action to CdG the cleric.
Dark Japheth: Ok.
Dark Japheth: It dies.
Dark Japheth: :P
Sarcazmo47: STAB
Sarcazmo47: What does Firbolg do now?
Dark Japheth: I believe it will...
Dark Japheth: Hmm. Which haste are we using?
Sarcazmo47: 3.0.
Dark Japheth: Goody.
Sarcazmo47: Cuz it's better.
Dark Japheth: I cast that haste.
Sarcazmo47: Cool.
Dark Japheth: I then cast a nontargeted dispel at you.
Sarcazmo47: Uh oh.
Sarcazmo47: What does that affect?
Dark Japheth: I think I'll target your sword.
Sarcazmo47: Excellent.
SirAlexTheFirst: Dark Japheth (1:23:55 AM): I then cast a nontargeted dispel at you.Dark Japheth (1:24:45 AM): I think I'll target your sword.
Dark Japheth: Or perhaps your plate.
SirAlexTheFirst: ...?
Sarcazmo47: Which one?
Dark Japheth: I realize I can't nontarget like Disjunction.
Dark Japheth: Hmm.
Dark Japheth: I'm thinking.
SirAlexTheFirst: Actually, you can....
Dark Japheth: *is reading the rules on that*
Sarcazmo47: If it affects ALL magic items, that's a lot more d20s to roll and caster levels to look up than I really feel like doing...
Dark Japheth: Magic Items aren't affected.
Dark Japheth: Bummer.
Dark Japheth: So I'll just go for the Armor.
Sarcazmo47: Oh.
Sarcazmo47: Okay.
*OnlineHost*: Dark Japheth rolled 1 20-sided die: 12
Sarcazmo47: It's.....+6 armor.
Dark Japheth: 21.
Sarcazmo47: What am I doing?
Dark Japheth: Caster level + 11.
Dark Japheth: But +6 implies an epic caster, at least level 21
Dark Japheth: Therefore, DC is 32
Dark Japheth: And I cannot hope to pass that.
Dark Japheth: So.
Sarcazmo47: No no.
Dark Japheth: Your turn.
Sarcazmo47: Heavy Fortification and +1.
Dark Japheth: +6 would require... what, an 11th level caster?
Dark Japheth: Yes. It would.
Sarcazmo47: Okay.
Dark Japheth: So. DC is 22. And I fail. :P
Dark Japheth: By one, congrats, otherwise you'd lose your protection from crits.
Dark Japheth: Go.
Sarcazmo47: And sneak attack!
Dark Japheth: Remember, Zao is a Firbolg. Actually, seven of them.
Sarcazmo47: He hacks apart an illusory Firblod.
Sarcazmo47: Firbolg.
Sarcazmo47: Two of them.
*OnlineHost*: Sarcazmo47 rolled 2 20-sided dice: 1 19
Sarcazmo47: Well, one of them.
Sarcazmo47: 1 or 7?
Dark Japheth: Hmm. 7.
*OnlineHost*: Sarcazmo47 rolled 1 7-sided die: 7
Sarcazmo47: WHACK
Dark Japheth: Well FUCK.
Dark Japheth: :
Sarcazmo47: Crit threat, by the way.
*OnlineHost*: Sarcazmo47 rolled 1 20-sided die: 5
Dark Japheth: Noted.
Sarcazmo47: AC?
SirAlexTheFirst: Oh, this isn't actually game?
Dark Japheth: AC is 20. Haste gives +4 AC, yes? That and the mage armor.
Dark Japheth: No, it isn't.
Sarcazmo47: Matching your AC hits?
Dark Japheth: Just a little exercize since I needed a break for a moment.
Dark Japheth: Yes.
Sarcazmo47: Then crit'd.
*OnlineHost*: Sarcazmo47 rolled 1 10-sided die: 5
Sarcazmo47: 40.
Dark Japheth: Don't you have to reapply poison after each hit, though?
Dark Japheth: The Firbolgs all look terribly wounded.
Sarcazmo47: As far as I know in the one game I've used it in, it's good for 10 hits.
Sarcazmo47: That might be a houserule, though.
AndrewRogue: Yes, you do have to reapply poison each round.
Sarcazmo47: Okay.
Sarcazmo47: So no poison.
Sarcazmo47: Just pain.
Dark Japheth: Ok. I won't change the outcome of Lan's death, but I save Zao. :P
AndrewRogue: I remember triple checking that when I did Hine originally.
SirAlexTheFirst: >_>
SirAlexTheFirst: Speaking of which.....
SirAlexTheFirst: You should run SoE again sometime
Sarcazmo47: Gogo hasted Zao-Lot.
Dark Japheth: Zao backs up five feet, and immediately launches an... hmm. Two Phantasmal Killers, or an Enervation.
Dark Japheth: Phantasmal Killers have DC's of 24. Hmm.
AndrewRogue: ...everyone keeps suggesting I do.
SirAlexTheFirst: Wouldn' that be two Enervations?
Dark Japheth: Yes.
coughingpuppy: If he ran SoE again I wouldn't be able to play. I hardly have time for the two online campaigns I'm already in.
Dark Japheth: One Enervation to lower his saves so he'll autodie.
Dark Japheth: :P
Sarcazmo47: Go for it.
Sarcazmo47: DC?
Dark Japheth: While moving that five feet, by the way, I blend with a few images so you can't tell which is real, oddly.
Dark Japheth: Hmm.
Dark Japheth: No, I'll do two Phantasmal Killers.
Dark Japheth: Roll your saves.
Dark Japheth: :P
Sarcazmo47: Will saves first!
*OnlineHost*: Sarcazmo47 rolled 2 20-sided dice: 9 12
Sarcazmo47: Fail both.
Sarcazmo47: Fort saves!
*OnlineHost*: Sarcazmo47 rolled 2 20-sided dice: 6 2
Dark Japheth: *prays for 1*
Sarcazmo47: Pass both.
Dark Japheth: 24. Fort. :P
Sarcazmo47: Yep.
Dark Japheth: I have to ask how. :P
SirAlexTheFirst: What character is this?
Sarcazmo47: Glack.
SirAlexTheFirst: What level?
Sarcazmo47: After taking all the party's money.
Sarcazmo47: 10.
SirAlexTheFirst: Ah.
Sarcazmo47: The 30 Con helps.
SirAlexTheFirst: I can see it then.
SirAlexTheFirst: Glack is a FREAKIN TANK.
Sarcazmo47: And the cloak of resistance.
Dark Japheth: +15 con mod. So I have to hope for a 1.
SirAlexTheFirst: ANd he's a Gnome.
Sarcazmo47: And the 154 HP.
SirAlexTheFirst: You're trying to off a gnome with an illusion spell.
SirAlexTheFirst: Do you see the problem here.
Sarcazmo47: And the immunity to crits, sneak attacks, and death attacks.
Dark Japheth: Zao specializes in illusion. :P
Dark Japheth: Ah. :P
Dark Japheth: I'm out of Phantasmal Killers either way.
Sarcazmo47: Do you have anything else to bump him off with?
SirAlexTheFirst: SHould've used Enervation.
Dark Japheth: No. However, I do know that I *can* run away quickly. And survive.
Dark Japheth: :P
SirAlexTheFirst: That's what it's there for.
Dark Japheth: He has a huge ass fort save.
Sarcazmo47: Enervation allows a save?
Sarcazmo47: Yes, yes he does.
Dark Japheth: I believe it does, yes.
SirAlexTheFirst: Mmm, spells that don't allow saves.
Sarcazmo47: +22, to be precise.
Dark Japheth: No.
Dark Japheth: It does not allow a save.
Dark Japheth: Damnit.
Dark Japheth: :P
Sarcazmo47: Oh.
SirAlexTheFirst: Enervation allows no save.
Sarcazmo47: Does it call for a touch attack?
SirAlexTheFirst: You just have to hit with the touch attack.
Dark Japheth: Yes.
Sarcazmo47: Do that instead, then.
Dark Japheth: I can't hit your AC. :P
SirAlexTheFirst: His TOUCH AC?
Sarcazmo47: Yes....yes you can.
Dark Japheth: Right
Dark Japheth: Touch AC.
Dark Japheth: Hmm. Ok, two enervations.
Dark Japheth: Roll attacks.
*OnlineHost*: Dark Japheth rolled 2 20-sided dice: 3 12
Dark Japheth: First = 9, second = 18.
Sarcazmo47: You actually do miss once.
Sarcazmo47: Nice.
Dark Japheth: Yeah.
Dark Japheth: Gain
*OnlineHost*: Dark Japheth rolled 1 4-sided die: 3
Dark Japheth: 3 negative levels.
Sarcazmo47: Kewl.
Sarcazmo47: My turn again?
Dark Japheth: Each negative level gives a creature a –1 penalty on attack rolls, saving throws, skill checks, ability checks, and effective level
Dark Japheth: Yes.
*OnlineHost*: Sarcazmo47 rolled 1 20-sided die: 6
Sarcazmo47: Hit...
Dark Japheth: An illusion.
SirAlexTheFirst: Don't forget the -5 current and maximum HP
Dark Japheth: Whoof, roll 1d6.
*OnlineHost*: Sarcazmo47 rolled 1 6-sided die: 5
Dark Japheth: From now on, anyway.
Dark Japheth: Whoof.
Sarcazmo47: One illusion gone!
Dark Japheth: Well, I meant
Sarcazmo47: And another 1d6?
Dark Japheth: 1d6. High or low?
Sarcazmo47: Your call.
Dark Japheth: Low.
*OnlineHost*: Sarcazmo47 rolled 1 20-sided die: 16
Sarcazmo47: Hit, crit threat.
Sarcazmo47: Daddy needs a 1.
*OnlineHost*: Sarcazmo47 rolled 1 6-sided die: 3
Dark Japheth: 1 in six chance.
Sarcazmo47: Aww.
Sarcazmo47: Too bad.
Dark Japheth: Oh well. Two illusions gone.
Sarcazmo47: Yep.
Sarcazmo47: Go!
Dark Japheth: Question. Is the maximum 8 images total, as it says in the spell, applying "per casting" of Mirror Image?
Dark Japheth: Or is it to mirror images in general?
Sarcazmo47: What?
Sarcazmo47: If you cast it again, you get a new set of images.
Sarcazmo47: They don't add.
SirAlexTheFirst: As with other self-targeted spells, Mirror Image does not stack, merely overlaps.
Dark Japheth: Ah..
Dark Japheth: Damn. :P
Dark Japheth: I will then cast...
SirAlexTheFirst: Blur/Blink/Displacement!
Dark Japheth: Can't, sadly.
Dark Japheth: However.
Dark Japheth: First is a ray of enervation. Once I see if that allows a save. I think it does.
Sarcazmo47: Ray of Enfeeblement, you mean?
Dark Japheth: Whoops, Enfeeblement
Dark Japheth: Yeh
Dark Japheth: No save, nicely.
Sarcazmo47: Roll your touch attack!
Dark Japheth: I roll two touch attacks.
Sarcazmo47: Or 2.
Dark Japheth: Since I'll cast it twice.
*OnlineHost*: Dark Japheth rolled 2 20-sided dice: 12 13
Dark Japheth: +6 on both.
Sarcazmo47: Aww.
Sarcazmo47: Both hit.
Dark Japheth: Take... 2d6 + 8 str.
*OnlineHost*: Dark Japheth rolled 2 6-sided dice: 4 1
Dark Japheth: 13 strength damage.
Sarcazmo47: Bummer.
Dark Japheth: Indeed.
Dark Japheth: Your turn.
Sarcazmo47: Hack hack hack!
Dark Japheth: Alex, why did I think Ray of Enfeeblement and Enervation allowed saves?
*OnlineHost*: Sarcazmo47 rolled 2 20-sided dice: 15 1
Sarcazmo47: Because I asked.
SirAlexTheFirst: Because Ray of Enfeeblement does?
Sarcazmo47: High or low?
Dark Japheth: No, it doesn't, oddly.
Sarcazmo47: It does?
Dark Japheth: Hmm
Dark Japheth: High
Sarcazmo47: It doesn't?
Sarcazmo47: What?
Dark Japheth: Pray for a five.
Dark Japheth: Ray of EnfeeblementNecromancyLevel: Sor/Wiz 1
AndrewRogue: RoE does not.
Dark Japheth: Effect: RayDuration: 1 min./levelSaving Throw: NoneSpell Resistance: Yes
*OnlineHost*: Sarcazmo47 rolled 1 5-sided die: 1
Sarcazmo47: Aww.
Sarcazmo47: One less illusion.
Dark Japheth: Whuff. Kill another image.
Sarcazmo47: Are you out of spells yet?
Dark Japheth: Nope.
Dark Japheth: I can keep going.
Dark Japheth: Until you run out of strength
Sarcazmo47: Do so, then.
Dark Japheth: First, Obscuring Mist.
AndrewRogue: ...RoE does not stack.
AndrewRogue: Just for reference.
Dark Japheth: ....
SirAlexTheFirst: Ray of EnfeeblementNecromancyLevel: Sor/Wiz 1
Dark Japheth: There is *no* way they did that.
SirAlexTheFirst: Duration: 1 minute/levelSaving Throw: Fortitude negatesSpell Resistance: Yes
AndrewRogue: One sec.
SirAlexTheFirst: Changed it in 3.5 apparently.
Sarcazmo47: Wait, wait. Are we looking at 3.0 or 3.5.
AndrewRogue: 3.0 or 3.5 RoE?
SirAlexTheFirst: I'm lookin at 3.0 there.
SirAlexTheFirst: And 3.0 implies that it does stack.
Dark Japheth: Hmm.
Adm H Sopko has entered the room.
Dark Japheth: Good point.
SirAlexTheFirst: Pick which one you want.
Sarcazmo47: What the hell?
Dark Japheth: Penalties don't stack
coughingpuppy: My thoughts exactly.
Dark Japheth: But in 3.0, it did ability damage, I believe?
SirAlexTheFirst: The subject suffers a -1d6 enhancement penalty to Strength, with an additional -1 per two caster levels (maximum additiional penalty of -5). The subject's Strength score cannot drop below 1.
Dark Japheth: I remember it stacked in 3.0, or was widely believed to be able to stack.
Sarcazmo47: Why is everyone and their mother in here to watch my gnome fight?
Dark Japheth: Damnit. :P
SirAlexTheFirst: I don't know. I told Soppy not to come in. >_>
Dark Japheth: I give up. There *is* no way I can win.
Sarcazmo47: Okie dokie.
SirAlexTheFirst has left the room.
Dark Japheth: I yield honorably. The Major Illusion vanishes, and the firbolgs are Zao's again.
Dark Japheth: Tell Alex to get back in here, I'm about to restart game.
Dark Japheth: :P
Sarcazmo47: Why does he need to be here for game?
Sarcazmo47: He doesn't.
Dark Japheth: He doesn't, he wanted to watch.
Sarcazmo47: Nahhhh.
Dark Japheth: *shrug*
Sarcazmo47: No thanks.
Dark Japheth: Mmmkay.
Sarcazmo47: Can you accede that Glack The Gnome is a fucking badass?
Dark Japheth: Yes.
Dark Japheth: Yes he is.
Dark Japheth: I wonder how he got 30 con.
Sarcazmo47: 18 Con.
Sarcazmo47: +2 Gnome.
Dark Japheth: Level 10 = 2 levelups, presume 20 base (18 +2 gnome)
Sarcazmo47: +6 amulet.
Dark Japheth: 26.
Sarcazmo47: +4 Book.
Dark Japheth: Ah.
Dark Japheth: You've read a book. :P
Dark Japheth: Bastard.
Dark Japheth: Either way.
Sarcazmo47: He actually has enough XP for level 12, but I stopped advancing him at 10.
Sarcazmo47: So he can take the Axiomatic Creature template.
Dark Japheth: heh.
Dark Japheth: What do you think of Zao? Does he have the potential to survive actual combat?
Sarcazmo47: I think so.
Dark Japheth: Note, I said survive, not "thrive in"
Sarcazmo47: Glack is a freaking monster.
AndrewRogue: Better than Aria <_<
AndrewRogue: Zao that is.
Dark Japheth: Goody. *first time he's tried Zao's combat*
Sarcazmo47: Glack would rape any PC in AND.
Sarcazmo47: Including Verity.
Dark Japheth: Zao is *awesome*. I realize now I should have given him Improved Invisibility instead of Enervation.
Dark Japheth: And cast haste sooner
Sarcazmo47: That would have been a good idea.
Dark Japheth: And then just spammed you with Enervations until you die.
Dark Japheth: :P
Sarcazmo47: That Cleric was freaking fairymeat.
Dark Japheth: No, the cleric was not. He just didn't get a turn.
Dark Japheth: :P
Sarcazmo47: Meh.
Sarcazmo47: Anyway.
Sarcazmo47: Glack got that poison.
Sarcazmo47: By guarding the door for the party.
Sarcazmo47: Assasins would come.
Sarcazmo47: They would death attack him.
coughingpuppy: Fairymeat...that makes me think of an RPG at Spellbinder's that was about fairies cannabalizing each other...
Sarcazmo47: He would save.
Sarcazmo47: He would kill them.
Sarcazmo47: He would take their Cloak Of Resistance +1 and their Rapier +1.
Sarcazmo47: He would take their potions and poisons.
Sarcazmo47: He did this about sixteen times.
Dark Japheth: lol.
Sarcazmo47: ANYWAY
Sarcazmo47: Back to game.
Sarcazmo47: The honor of the Gnome is defended.
Dark Japheth: ~-~-~Resumes~-~-~
Dark Japheth: (Astaroth can take him. Astaroth is a level 27 character though, and I think he'd take your guy only barely*
AndrewRogue: (XD)
Dark Japheth: You will continue to travel for the month. I will roll encounter checks for the week, and then you stop in a town.
Sarcazmo47: (Don't forget the immunity to crits!)
Dark Japheth: (Thats nothing to Asty.)
coughingpuppy: Where are we going?
Dark Japheth: (Asty doesn't need crits.)
Dark Japheth: Jolir.
Sarcazmo47: Heh.
coughingpuppy: What for?
Sarcazmo47: Jolir.
Sarcazmo47: Yep.
AndrewRogue: *waggles random encounter finger*
Sarcazmo47: Ask!
Sarcazmo47: Or don't ask.
Dark Japheth: Either way. Rolling for the week.
*OnlineHost*: Dark Japheth rolled 7 100-sided dice: 30 41 46 56 44 60 21
Dark Japheth: Nothing happens. Curse you all.
Dark Japheth: Oh, wait.
*OnlineHost*: Dark Japheth rolled 7 100-sided dice: 86 19 48 96 33 5 95
Dark Japheth: ......
Dark Japheth: *grins*
coughingpuppy: I don't like it when Gorth grins.
Dark Japheth: On the sixth day. At the end of the day, the town is clearly in sight. A simple city, that of Domesda. Most of the people here are commonplace, and though they all bear druidic talismans and totems...
Dark Japheth: Very few seem to be actual druids.
Dark Japheth: You can see it from the distance. You'll get there in a short while. But then...
Dark Japheth: Listen checks
*OnlineHost*: coughingpuppy rolled 1 20-sided die: 7
*OnlineHost*: AndrewRogue rolled 1 20-sided die: 13
Dark Japheth: Anyone who gets 15 or better, IM me. :P
*OnlineHost*: Sarcazmo47 rolled 1 20-sided die: 14
coughingpuppy: Ri looks around over her shoulder in surprise, first at Landus, then at Niniel.
AndrewRogue: *twists around*
Sarcazmo47: Skocion looks too.
Dark Japheth: Niniel, the monstrosity, makes a squealing noise. Its claws twist and writhe, and its fleshy body seems to undulate.
Dark Japheth: Which is an awesome word.
Adm H Sopko: Yes, it is
Sarcazmo47: Oh for heaven's sake.
coughingpuppy: Riannon immediately raises her spear. "What the hell?"
AndrewRogue: "Boss... is it supposed to do that?"
Sarcazmo47: "No idea."
Sarcazmo47: "Calm it down."
AndrewRogue: "What?"
Dark Japheth: It is... almost crying. Bits of blood pour from its eyes, and its screaming has made a few nearby cute animals run in fear.
Sarcazmo47: He shrugs. "Calm it down."
AndrewRogue: "How the fuck am I supposed to calm it down?"
Sarcazmo47: He shrugs. "Ask it what's the problem? I don't know."
coughingpuppy: "I told you keeping it around was a fucking bad idea, Skocion."
Dark Japheth: It looks at Landus's horse. And its macabre face seems to smile.
AndrewRogue: "The hell is your problem?" *to Nin*
Dark Japheth: It gurgles. "....my afa akil mororrr laarag agmag torikmak."
Dark Japheth: Its claws are vaguely moving
Sarcazmo47: Skocion thinks, and alights on an idea.
Sarcazmo47: "Command it to go to sleep."
AndrewRogue: *uneasily* "Right. Sure boss. 'ey, sleep!"
coughingpuppy: "I think it's hungry."
*OnlineHost*: AndrewRogue rolled 1 20-sided die: 7
Dark Japheth: "....slaaaaaaaghaggggg."
Dark Japheth: Then its voice becomes remarkably clear. "Landus."
Dark Japheth: Then it gurgles again. It will not move, it seems.
AndrewRogue: "Fucking hell." *Landus looks... oddly distressed* "Speak in a fucking language I understand or sleep!"
Dark Japheth: It looks at you.
Sarcazmo47: Skocion looks frustrated. "It's as if everyone and their dead body is trying to interrupt this journey."
Dark Japheth: Sense motive, Landus.
*OnlineHost*: AndrewRogue rolled 1 20-sided die: 6
AndrewRogue: "You shouldn't even be able to hurt." *he snaps at it* "Are you just fucking around?"
Dark Japheth: Its grin is a rictus of terror. Its jagged teeth are arranged in so many angles that if it actually tried to bite something, it'd lacerate its face and probably put out a non-existent eye.
Dark Japheth: And clearly, it is in pain, because its constantly bloody.
Dark Japheth: "....kiiiiillllllllllllllllll........"
Sarcazmo47: It's the freaking Zodar.
coughingpuppy: ((*grin*))
coughingpuppy: "Then let's find something for the damn thing to kill, if you guys want to keep it around so badly."
Sarcazmo47: Anying innocent children playing in a nearby field, perhaps?
Dark Japheth: Whats funny is I stole the "jagged teeth" line from an awesome book.
Sarcazmo47: A passing Bard?
AndrewRogue: (...I think I heard it before. WHat book?)
Dark Japheth: It looks at Riannon, and then immediately sits down.
AndrewRogue: "I don't want the thing anywhere near me Rii."
Dark Japheth: And it draws a single claw across its body, and then stands up, and walks onward.
coughingpuppy: Ri rolls her eyes. "Well, me either, but we've got it along, don't we?"
Sarcazmo47: Skocion grunts. "Creature."
Sarcazmo47: "Stop."
Dark Japheth: It immediately does so.
Sarcazmo47: "Sit."
Dark Japheth: And then it sits again.
Sarcazmo47: "Sleep, and do not wake until you are called."
coughingpuppy: ((I'm going to throw something at the assholes outside my window if they don't shut up...))
Dark Japheth: It lay on the road, and does not move.
AndrewRogue: (You should Staci.)
Sarcazmo47: Skocion gets odown off his horse and proceeds to bag it with blankets and rope.
coughingpuppy: ((But the only things heavy enough to throw are things I don't want to break, sadly.))
Sarcazmo47: Throw your roommmate.
Dark Japheth: You have no bricks? No canes? No weaponry?
Sarcazmo47: Throw Brandi!
coughingpuppy: If I could find her, I would.
Dark Japheth: The creature does not move, though blood covers your hands when you do it.
Dark Japheth: Ecks dee.
Sarcazmo47: Anyway. Skocion packages her to UPS regulations, and ties her to the back of two of the horses.
coughingpuppy: Riannon sighs and rubs at an eye. "Just get rid of the damn thing. It's more bother than it's worth, and we don't know if it's gonna end up turning on us."
AndrewRogue: *Landus... almost breathes a sigh of relief* (X-Freakin'-D)
Sarcazmo47: She's now cargo.
Sarcazmo47: He snorts. "Why would it turn on us? It's DEAD."
coughingpuppy: "'Cause it wants fucking BLOOD, in case you didn't hear it."
Sarcazmo47: "You've echoed some similar sentiments once or twice, my dear."
coughingpuppy: She rolls her eyes and starts walking again, slinging the spear against one shoulder. "Yeah, I have. Nothing good ever comes out of something unnatural. But don't listen, that's fine with me."
Sarcazmo47: Skocion sighs.
Sarcazmo47: "It's a tool. The right tool for the right job. I don't mean to waste it until I have a job for it."
coughingpuppy: "Okay, then."
Sarcazmo47: "You want to get rid of it? Find someting worth using it on."
Sarcazmo47: He looks frustrtated for a few moments.
Sarcazmo47: Then he throws his hands into the air in a sign of submission.
Sarcazmo47: "Fine! You win."
coughingpuppy: "Yeah?"
Sarcazmo47: He undoes the wrappings. "Creature, awaken."
Dark Japheth: It immediately screams, and stands up.
Sarcazmo47: "Go into Asgard. Go by night. Do not reveal yourself unless you must. Find and bring to me the body of Sir Lethe of Boltedge. Dead."
Sarcazmo47: Oh, and he sticks the Darkskull in its chest.
Dark Japheth: It grins, and screams once in the night, then scurries off quickly.
Dark Japheth: As quickly as it can, at 20 feet a round, anyway.
Sarcazmo47: 40 feet.
coughingpuppy: "Who's Sir Lethe of Boltedge?"
Sarcazmo47: "The man who killed Shale."
AndrewRogue: *starts chuckling*
coughingpuppy: "Right."
Sarcazmo47: He waits until it's out of sight.
Sarcazmo47: "Does that satisfy you?"
coughingpuppy: "Yeah."
Sarcazmo47: He grunts. "Thank you."
coughingpuppy: "Get rid of two problems at once that way."
Sarcazmo47: He uses a canteen of water to wash his hands off.
Sarcazmo47: And they continue!
Dark Japheth: The next day, you arrive in the town, which is much like I prematurely described it.
Dark Japheth: A distinctly animistic and Luddite society, you likely, while here, will not find much in the way of steel.
coughingpuppy: Riannon finds all the druidic stuff around a little strange. In fact, she's trying to see what group, if any, these people might belong to.
Sarcazmo47: Skocion will search for some clothes more suited to the tropical climate.
Dark Japheth: But they sell hides, both human and animal in a few darker sections of town, but only rarely. The Spear is clearly the weapon of Freydin, as the warriors and guards, mostly men, only nod as you pass.
Dark Japheth: Ooooh! Drop a styrofoam cup and watch them cry!
Sarcazmo47: "Have you ever been to the jungle before, Riannon?"
coughingpuppy: "Nope. I think I'll enjoy hanging around in it for a while, though, from what I hear."
Sarcazmo47: "Hmm. I hope so. I don't really understand these people."
Sarcazmo47: It's clearly a conversation opener to get her to explain the ways of animism to him.
coughingpuppy: "You don't? What's not to understand?"
AndrewRogue: *just idly listens in as he looks about*
Sarcazmo47: He shrugs. "Maybe I'm simply dull. It just seems...pretentious."
coughingpuppy: Riannon grins. "It does? I always thought of it as the opposite, actually. But I'm not sure I completely get them either, to be honest. You're either a part of nature or you're not."
Sarcazmo47: He nods. "You're probably right."
Sarcazmo47: And winds up settling on some nice, light, flowing stuff in earth tones.
Sarcazmo47: Yeah, he's clothes shopping.
Sarcazmo47: Make something of it.
coughingpuppy: ((Skocion = metrosexual.))
Dark Japheth: (Yeah.)
Dark Japheth: (Exceedingly metrosexual)
AndrewRogue: (WHOAMG Metero'd)
coughingpuppy: ((Yay, the police carted away all the drunks outside!))
Sarcazmo47: Yay!
Sarcazmo47: Skocion is a flamer. Yes, we've all established this.
coughingpuppy: "I take it clothes are your way of picking up souviniers."
Sarcazmo47: He smiles. "An advantage of my condition. I can never be bothered by how gaudy they are."
AndrewRogue: *chuckles*
coughingpuppy: "As long as you aren't wearing bright orange, I won't have to kill you."
Dark Japheth: Hmm.
Dark Japheth: Spot checks.
*OnlineHost*: coughingpuppy rolled 1 20-sided die: 5
coughingpuppy: 16.
*OnlineHost*: Sarcazmo47 rolled 1 20-sided die: 2
Sarcazmo47: I want to get a 20 on a spot check some time.
*OnlineHost*: AndrewRogue rolled 1 20-sided die: 1
AndrewRogue: In theory Skocion almost spots better than me.
AndrewRogue: I still manage 3 however.
coughingpuppy: Riannon nods over towards a figure in the market. "Seems as out of place as we are, huh?" The other person isn't dressed in the same clothing as everyone else, and looks more like the party.
AndrewRogue: *shurgs* "I'm sure the place gets visitors."
Dark Japheth: Clearly not many. Most of the "shops" here only package the goods and trade them, most of the time for barter. Occasionally for money.
coughingpuppy: "I guess."
Adm H Sopko: ::Two people are walking down the road towards them now, both dressed in a similar traveling clothes as them. The one to the right is about 6 foot tall, greyish blonde hair. He has a sword at his side, not really
AndrewRogue: (Whoah. New player'd.)
Sarcazmo47: HOLY CRAP
Adm H Sopko: special looking. The one who he is talking to is about 5'10, with brown hair and gray eyes. He has a odd air about him. Just walking down the road seems to hold importance when he is involved. However, they just pass by::
Dark Japheth: (You know, I do nothing accidentally)
Sarcazmo47: Don't you?
Sarcazmo47: Don't you, Gorth?
Sarcazmo47: Anyhoo.
Dark Japheth: (...don't you... dare scroll up and read why it only took a week to Rivas Kul.)
Sarcazmo47: Mmm hmm.
Sarcazmo47: So, that's prety cool.
Adm H Sopko: ::Several other people pass you by as well, seemingly following them. They're dressed in normal clothing::
Sarcazmo47: K: N&R!
AndrewRogue: "Quite the entourage."
coughingpuppy: Riannon watches them curiously. "I'd say."
Adm H Sopko: Err... native clothing
Sarcazmo47: "Hmm? Describe it."
Dark Japheth: Knowledge Nobility and Royalty? Hmm. I'm gunna have to say
Dark Japheth: ROLL IT
*OnlineHost*: Sarcazmo47 rolled 1 20-sided die: 11
Sarcazmo47: 19.
Dark Japheth: He seems vaguely familiar. His name, nor his position, or even if he's in a royal family, seem odd.
Dark Japheth: He does seem like he does not fit in, at all.
Sarcazmo47: Interesting.
Sarcazmo47: Anyway.
coughingpuppy: "Place doesn't seem like it would get guys like that through here all that often."
Sarcazmo47: "Hmm. I wonder..."
Sarcazmo47: He shakes his head. "Eh. I think we all deserve a day of rest. And a bath."
AndrewRogue: *snorts* "You maybe."
Sarcazmo47: He nods, agreeing.
Dark Japheth: Don't you wish you were somewhere vaguely civilized? The inn's here are mostly campgrounds, really.
Sarcazmo47: Ooooo.
Sarcazmo47: That makes Skocion a sad panda.
Dark Japheth: You could probably rent a house, but there isn't much there. The houses are made of mud/straw mixes, with thatched rooves.
Dark Japheth: In short, this is a druids wet dream. :P
Sarcazmo47: He goes on a quest for a bathtub and hot water.
Dark Japheth: A bathtub. Hmm. You can get one. It's going to be 75 GP a night, though, for the one place with a bathtub.
coughingpuppy: Riannon seems perfectly happy to just hang around in one of the houses. She brings Brom inside, since it's most likely cooler.
Dark Japheth: And to get heated water, you are going to have to take the water pump, and heat it yourself.
Sarcazmo47: It's done.
AndrewRogue: *Landus is fine with a house too*
Sarcazmo47: Skocion wants his fucking bath.
Dark Japheth: Heh.
Dark Japheth: Good man.
Sarcazmo47: Anyway.
Sarcazmo47: Night passes.
Sarcazmo47: Traveling commences.
Dark Japheth: Does it?
Dark Japheth: Well, it would
Dark Japheth: Except you are about to be GORTH'D
AndrewRogue: (*bends over*)
Dark Japheth: You all dream of seemingly normal things. Clowns without faces, laughing, nightmares or hell, even nice normal dreams.
Dark Japheth: </Gorth'd>
Dark Japheth: Traveling continues, hmm?
Sarcazmo47: Yup.
Sarcazmo47: I'm trying to get somewhere, dammit!
Dark Japheth: Well.
Dark Japheth: I need at least a day to describe Jolir.
Dark Japheth: So I will end the session here, barring someone having something exceedingly specific things to do.
Sarcazmo47: Nope.
coughingpuppy: I don't.
AndrewRogue: Not really.
Sarcazmo47: Except wonder about the NPC.
Dark Japheth: NPC? What makes you think that?
coughingpuppy: Yes. Or if it's an NPC or if Soppy is actually joining.
Sarcazmo47: Psychic powers.
Dark Japheth: I am not quite sure myself, either.
Dark Japheth: :P
Dark Japheth: ~-~-~END~-~-~
Dark Japheth: By the by. I will not be gaming tomorrow. Tomorrow is saturday. My girlfriend will likely stab me if I spend it online.
AndrewRogue: Awww.
Sarcazmo47: Oh, this is offical now?
Sarcazmo47: You actually have one?
coughingpuppy: *echoes Andrew*
Sarcazmo47: Which one?
Dark Japheth: Melissa.
Dark Japheth: Actually.
Dark Japheth: She's allowed to call me her boyfriend but apparantly I can't call her my girlfriend
Dark Japheth: So I take it back
Dark Japheth: *shrugs*
coughingpuppy: Why can't you call her your girlfriend?
Dark Japheth: That implies possession.
coughingpuppy: ...
AndrewRogue: My friend declared that same thing.
AndrewRogue: So instead, he called her "My girl."
AndrewRogue: I smacked him for being stupid.
Sarcazmo47: Good.
coughingpuppy: I guess I'm just possessed by Kirk, then.
Sarcazmo47: Damn straight.
Dark Japheth: Oh, no. I don't actually believe that pseudofeminist bullshit she spews at me.
coughingpuppy: Good.
Dark Japheth: Just like she doesn't actually believe that I have feelings for her.
AndrewRogue: *echoes Staci*
coughingpuppy: Mrrrr?
Dark Japheth: Or at least I hope she doesn't.
Sarcazmo47: Well, that's a healthy way to look at things.
coughingpuppy: Okay, so why do you hope she doesn't think you have feelings for her?
Sarcazmo47: And when I say that, I really mean not at all even a little bit.
Dark Japheth: Because if she thinks I have feelings for her, then she'll abuse that and use it to get me to do things I don't want to do. Or stop doing things I love.
Sarcazmo47: Holy shit!
Sarcazmo47: It's Andy!
Dark Japheth: Which will invariably cause me to actually quit those things, or pretend to and then lie to her.
AndrewRogue: ...wow.
coughingpuppy: Yes. Except that most girls don't abuse the fact that a guy has feelings for them.
Dark Japheth: And I will angst and bitch and whine until eventually I stab my heart.
Dark Japheth: You clearly do not live in California. :P
Dark Japheth: Its almost guaranteed- if you have emotions, they will be stamped out of you by high school.
AndrewRogue: ...mine weren't.
Dark Japheth: Well you didn't grow up in the BARRIO
coughingpuppy: Move to Cleveland. Or Pennsylvania.
Dark Japheth: I CHILL WITH MY HOMIES, ESE
AndrewRogue: Good point.
Sarcazmo47: Yes, go to school in Indiana.
Sarcazmo47: We will point you in the right direction.
Sarcazmo47: You could get together with Katie!
Sarcazmo47: >.>
Dark Japheth: ....the one with the vibrator
Dark Japheth: you will stab me with
coughingpuppy: Yes. His ex-girlfriend.
Dark Japheth: Hmmm. Let me consider that.
Dark Japheth: You know, I actually have friends out in indiana, I think.
Dark Japheth: Do any of you know a Lucas Schneider?
coughingpuppy: Yes!
coughingpuppy: He's a cross country runner?
Dark Japheth: Wasn't when I knew him, but maybe he is now.
Dark Japheth: Guitar guy.
Dark Japheth: Music major.
coughingpuppy: Hm. Probably not the same guy.
Adm H Sopko: I was about to say...
Adm H Sopko: How the fuck out of all the people in Indiana?
Sarcazmo47: Sounds like Jesus Dan.
coughingpuppy: Yeah, a bit like Jesus Dan.
Dark Japheth: Well I mean, Soppy
coughingpuppy: But believe it or not, Gorth, not all women are out to get you/manipulate you.
Dark Japheth: I believe he went to University of Indiana of some sort.
Dark Japheth: No, I am aware of this
Dark Japheth: However, if I act under that presumption, I prevent needless harm.
coughingpuppy: University of Indiana isn't the same as Indiana University of Pennsylvania.
Dark Japheth: ndiana University Bloomingtoon
Dark Japheth: In his words
Dark Japheth: So my bad.
Dark Japheth: :P
coughingpuppy: Ah. See, that's actually IN Indiana, whereas we are not.
Dark Japheth: Bah.
coughingpuppy: Well, we're in Indiana, but it's a small town.
Dark Japheth: Heh.
AndrewRogue: Its not the cool Indiana, man.
Dark Japheth: I need a new font.
Dark Japheth: Hmm. I like this.
Adm H Sopko: Heh
Dark Japheth: Anyhoo, painful things occur. And yeah, I am somewhat joking about the "all women are out to get me" thing. I don't think that they do it, or do it intentionally, or that its across the board.
coughingpuppy: Heh. I'm really in no position to critisize, really, since I'm kind of paranoid myself, as I'm sure Kirk can attest to.
Dark Japheth: Its just that considering that twenty minutes into knowing her, she was like "You can't drink anymore." To which I laughed and said "If you'd like, I'll promise not to drink when you are around."
Dark Japheth: She said OK, I made my promise
Dark Japheth: then moved 3,900 miles away
Dark Japheth: Mmmm, beer.
Sarcazmo47: Silly man.
coughingpuppy: If she's trying to change you, that probably isn't good. You shouldn't really go into relationships expecting to change the habits/personality of someone you're with.
Dark Japheth: Indeed.
Dark Japheth: Love is not learning to ignore their faults, or loving them in spite of faults, its loving them partially because of their faults, or being incapable of seeing them.
Dark Japheth: And while I speak of love, I mean its true about successful relationships, as well.
coughingpuppy: No, being incapable of seeing them is pretty bad too.
Dark Japheth: Depends on the fault
AndrewRogue: Love is accepting their faults.
AndrewRogue: <_<
Dark Japheth: Things like "He eats fritos and his fingers turn orange and it bugs the FUCK out of me" aren't bad
coughingpuppy: Ah, right. Yeah, you just kind of have to ignore those.
Dark Japheth: But things like "She wants absolute control and if she does not get it has a tendency to go into a temper tantrum" are not ignorable faults
Dark Japheth: :P
Sarcazmo47: Do my snacking habits bother you, dear?
Dark Japheth: TRICK QUESTION
coughingpuppy: No. You're kind of disorganized, though.
Sarcazmo47: My disorganization bothers you?
coughingpuppy: Not at the moment. But if I was hanging out in a messy room or sharing a messy room it would.
Sarcazmo47: Well, maybe your organization bothers me!
coughingpuppy: *grin*
coughingpuppy: You're far from being Brandi's equal, though, since you never had the growing spreading pile of stuff that threatened to engulf all of my stuff.
Sarcazmo47: Oh, I dunno.
Sarcazmo47: You remember the time you slipped on a receipt?
coughingpuppy: And almost ripped my pants? Yes.
Sarcazmo47: You remember how messy that floor was?
coughingpuppy: Yes.
Sarcazmo47: Yeah.
coughingpuppy: Part of that was Brent, though.
Sarcazmo47: Not nearly as much as you'd like to believe, dear.
coughingpuppy: Let me delude myself for a little longer, please. :-D
Dark Japheth: Thats getting sigged somewhere.
coughingpuppy: Yay, I am siggable.
Dark Japheth: Dark Japheth: So the big thing here is "More combat."Dark Japheth: Are we agreed?
coughingpuppy: I'm okay with more combat. I like all the heavy RP, though, too.
AndrewRogue: Heavy RP is cool. I'm fine with combat too.
Sarcazmo47: I'm not pushing for combat.
Dark Japheth: I love that.
Dark Japheth: :P
Sarcazmo47: I'm pushing for character advancement.
Sarcazmo47: Yup.
Dark Japheth: I will quote that every time I nearly kill you all with a plot device or near-death combat.
Sarcazmo47: And the head Sir Lethe of Boltedge.
coughingpuppy: I want to do something so I can catch up XP-wise, though. I'm going to be falling behind a lot now that I can't make more than half the sessions, probably...
Dark Japheth: Sarcazmo47: "Level loss never felt this good." <---Best. Quote. Ever.
AndrewRogue: I remember that one!
Dark Japheth: Yeah. If you want to catch up on XP, I've come up with a few extracurricular ways to do so.
Dark Japheth: 1- if you want, type a story, a decent one, of the most important and influential moment in your life. I'll give yah 200 XP for that.
Dark Japheth: 2- Fill out the Roleplaying Questionairre... once I'm finished updating it. :P That'll be worth 500 points.
Dark Japheth: This can't be done unless you are behind for missing sessions or stuff like that.
Dark Japheth: *looks at Andrew who every two days gives him awesome fiction regarding Landus just so I can weep that I suck*
AndrewRogue: <_<
coughingpuppy has left the room.
AndrewRogue: >_>
Dark Japheth: Or you can leave and make me wonder if I've offended you.
AndrewRogue: She got booted.
Dark Japheth: *nod*
Dark Japheth: Stupid AIM.
Dark Japheth: *starts updating the ROleplaying Questionairre*
Sarcazmo47: Why don't I get to read this Landus fiction?
AndrewRogue: ...because he exaggerates and I haven't written anything new.
Dark Japheth: I do not exaggerate. You say that a million times a day.
AndrewRogue: About me sending you stuff every two days.
Dark Japheth: Oh, right.
Dark Japheth: Yeah. Thats what happens in strange Gorthy Dream Land where there are Marlboro trees, and little streams of alchohol come pouring down the rocks.
AndrewRogue: Heh.
Sarcazmo47: Sleepytime.
Sarcazmo47 has left the room.
Dark Japheth: Bah.
AndrewRogue: That was sudden.
AndrewRogue: *mourns his stats still*
AndrewRogue: ...oh shit.
AndrewRogue: MY RING OF PROTECTION
AndrewRogue: *sobs*
Dark Japheth: Lol
AndrewRogue: 7 AC...
AndrewRogue: That's a record.
AndrewRogue: <_<
AndrewRogue: *breathes a sigh of relief* Whee... got to keep it.
Dark Japheth: Holy. Shit.
Dark Japheth: I remember this!
Dark Japheth: *is going through Chromes old Amaryllis Logs*
AndrewRogue: Heh!
Dark Japheth: Here's a good one.
Adm H Sopko: ...
AndrewRogue: <_<
Dark Japheth: LordSolcage: I've always wanted a barbarian paladinLordSolcage: Seeing as how I am a psychotic redneck with delusions of chivalry and an ANGER MANAGEMENT PROBLEM, it'd fit me great
Dark Japheth: That would be Evrain.
Dark Japheth: And Andrew, and Soppy
AndrewRogue: ?
Dark Japheth: I request that both of you add a name to your buddy list.
AndrewRogue: Sure.
Dark Japheth: it is "ihave24twinkies"
Dark Japheth: You are to tell me when she is online.
Dark Japheth: So I know I can prank the fuck out of her.
Dark Japheth: She doesn't know I'm back ye.t
Dark Japheth: yet.
AndrewRogue: Sure. Why not?
Dark Japheth: Exactly. Good Andrew.
Dark Japheth: The question you should be asking, though, is "why" because I am an extreme egotist and won't feel complete until I tell you the story.
AndrewRogue: Okey dokes.
Dark Japheth: You have read that log I gave you, yes?
AndrewRogue: Not yet. Been trying to not suck with Aria.
Dark Japheth: The person I called, desperate to talk to someone, anyone I knew, happened to be my one really good friend I had left, who happened to be female.
Dark Japheth: heh
Dark Japheth: You will.
Dark Japheth: Her name was Erika.
Dark Japheth: She was an angel to me. She remains my perfect vision of beauty. I might have a pic of her somewhere, if I don't, I'm fairly confident Alex probably does somewhere. Either way.
Dark Japheth: Niniel's physical description.... remove the wings... and put her in a dead kennedies T Shirt
Dark Japheth: and you have her.
Dark Japheth: She was my dream girl- nerdy, hot, into music, kind of angsty, close enough to gothy without being morbid, and she had the worlds most beautiful eyes.
Dark Japheth: I called with her that night, so weak and unable to do anything at all, and she offered to come pick me up so I could go stay with her.
Dark Japheth: This was the first act of genuine kindness anyone had shown me in a long time.
Dark Japheth: Long. Long. Time.
Dark Japheth: I naturally did what any sane nerd would do when confronted with his dream girl
Dark Japheth: I fell in love with her. Despite her having a boyfriend.
Dark Japheth: I angsted about it, and my angst became fuel for D&D. Every time I was pissed off, I'd sign on and give everyone house calls, saying "Alright, we D&D tonight."
Dark Japheth: It would happen frequently.
Dark Japheth: On my birthday, I told her I had the hugest crush on her. It was cute, she said, and she wouldn't let it ruin the friendship.
Dark Japheth: On her birthday, we all went to disneyland. I got to hold her there for the first time. It was beautiful, and perhaps the greatest time in my entire life- sitting at Disneyland, watching the parade of lights, with her leaning
Dark Japheth: on my shoulders. I also got my best line in the world. Best two lines. We are in pirates, and there is a donkey, and I said "Hey, Erika, nice ass."
Dark Japheth: I wasn't even lying, so Shaitan did not punish me and take away my powers
Dark Japheth: At the Christmas lights parade, she was sitting on my lap and leaning back, which gave her a +10 bluff because I had a hot chick in my lap. Or maybe I got -20 to wis. Either way, she said "Its so beautiful"
Dark Japheth: And I whispered, mostly to myself, "There are other things I know which are infinitely more beautiful."
Dark Japheth: We dated shortly after.
Dark Japheth: It was a high school relationship- kept secret from everyone, except our closest friends and perhaps our parents.
Dark Japheth: In fact, it was kept from her current boyfriend. That eventually lead up to the breakup, during which, like most high school relationships, I attempted suicide.
Dark Japheth: Like most people who talk about it, I screwed up somewhere and as a result continued with Amaryllis, but at that point, I was too broken and mostly insane to run it. Evrain took over.
AndrewRogue: I'm starting to think I'm perfectly content with female friends <_<
Dark Japheth: And the worst part of this story is that some piece of me inside will love her forever. I hate it, and I hate that I can't hate her for what she did. I love her so much it makes me hurt.
Dark Japheth: She blocked me, will not speak with me, despite pretending to want to be friends.
Dark Japheth: So I have instead of attempting to get her back
Dark Japheth: I'm just trying to prank her and scare the living fuck out of her
Dark Japheth: because... survey says...
Dark Japheth: I'm a fucked up person who derives pleasure from fear
Dark Japheth: Although now that I'm a stoner, I could probably worm my way back into her life.
Dark Japheth: *shrugs*
Dark Japheth: *grins*
AndrewRogue: Eh... I don't know what to say.
Dark Japheth: And yes, Andrew. Female friends are totally worth it.
Dark Japheth: Best things ever.
Dark Japheth: They are like normal friends, but with boobs.
Dark Japheth: The big problem with female friends, though, is that invariably the 'best' of them is the one you really like.
Dark Japheth: And eventually, that can't be hidden, and it ruins everything.
AndrewRogue: I went through that stage with all of them, and in turn, got over it with all of them. Except the one who I realized the day or two prior to her leaving to college that I think she liked me as more'n a friend.
AndrewRogue: Which... shit. Reminds me to e-mail her.
Dark Japheth: Heh.
Dark Japheth: If you can pull it off, go for it. My opinion is this- life is not to be wasted.
Dark Japheth: Ever. If you've got a chance, go for it. if not, don't waste time.
Dark Japheth: My life was boring as fuck before Sara. It was mildly boring in high school until Erika. And then it became downright interesting and hell pretty fucking fun.
AndrewRogue: Well, being that she is in Hawaii, no, there's not much of a chance.
Dark Japheth: Hawaii is nothing.
Dark Japheth: Whats that, a hundred dollar plane trip?
Dark Japheth: Fuck, I'll pay for it out of my weed money if you want it.
AndrewRogue: Ironically, that was the same night that the "A girl lying her head in your lap means she might be interested in you." Two totally different girls.
Dark Japheth: lmao
AndrewRogue: That night makes me wonder what the hell is wrong with me and I'm really THAT oblivious.
Dark Japheth: Well
Dark Japheth: How many girlfriends had you had before this occasion?
Dark Japheth: How many casual dates have you had? How many times has it happened? If the answer is 5 or less, I don't hold it against you.
AndrewRogue: Umm.
AndrewRogue: Let's subtly change the subject to avoid that question.
Dark Japheth: Which means either "none' or "so many you KNOW you should have known better"
Dark Japheth: Either way, I don't hold it against you.
Dark Japheth: :P
AndrewRogue: Bet you can guess the proper one <_<
Dark Japheth: You've *told* me the proper one.
AndrewRogue: Good point.
Dark Japheth: How are the girl prospects down in Berkley?
Dark Japheth: Any exceptionally hot chicks in your classes?
AndrewRogue: A wide mixture.
AndrewRogue: Its tough meeting folks though.
Dark Japheth: Not particularly.
Dark Japheth: The trick is to have a great pickup line.
Dark Japheth: THEY DO NOT WORK AS ADVERTISED.
Dark Japheth: They WORK ONLY ON CHICKS WITH A SENSE OF HUMOR.
AndrewRogue: Heh
Dark Japheth: Get a *really* bad pick up line, and it'll work on chicks who have senses of humor.
AndrewRogue: Heh!
Dark Japheth: Also, saying "Hey, I'm new here. Do you know where X is?" works
Dark Japheth: Even, and dare I say it, ESPECIALLY if you know where X is.
Dark Japheth: :P
AndrewRogue: My typical conversation breaker is- "What is your name again?"
AndrewRogue: <_<
AndrewRogue: Although... YAY! I remembered a couple of names I swore I would!
Dark Japheth: Good plan.
Dark Japheth: Always remember names.
Dark Japheth: It was embarassing when a girl in Alaska was like "Hey, you want to go out? I really connected with you."
Dark Japheth: And I said "Man, I was really high that night. What was your name again?"
Dark Japheth: "Heather, holly... Holly. Right. Holly?"
Dark Japheth: Them- "No, Amanda."
Dark Japheth: Me- '...I see."
AndrewRogue: Ouch.
Dark Japheth: Use my experience to get chicks!
Dark Japheth: Basically, don't do ANYTHING I do
Dark Japheth: oh, and as cool as you think it'd be
Dark Japheth: strip D&D is not fun.
AndrewRogue: Asking for the time seems to start conversations. And... XD
Dark Japheth: Especially if your girlfriend is a twink
Dark Japheth: The time is an AWESOME way to start conversations
Dark Japheth: Don't do it with philosophy majors or art majors
AndrewRogue: It worked today at least.
Adm H Sopko: Waiting on lines rules as well
AndrewRogue: Waiting on lines?
Dark Japheth: Philosophy majors are like "What is time? The concept is one established by man merely to distinguish between past and present."
Adm H Sopko: Even the hottest girls will talk to you if they're despirate for conversation on line
Dark Japheth: Art majors are like "..dude, its 4:20. Fucking A." At midnight. Then they pass the bong.
Dark Japheth: Yes.
Dark Japheth: This is true
Dark Japheth: Wait in lines, always
Dark Japheth: Never give up
Dark Japheth: Theme parks are notorious for this
Dark Japheth: If there is a three hour line
Dark Japheth: Wait until hot chicks enter, then follow
AndrewRogue: Heh.
Dark Japheth: BAM at least two and a half hours of conversation
Dark Japheth: Don't do it at disneyland, the only hot chicks there are with their parents, and might be in strollers.
Dark Japheth: There, I made my obligatory pedophilic comment of the night
Adm H Sopko: Heh
AndrewRogue: Heh!
Dark Japheth: Anyway, Andrew
Dark Japheth: there is no reason you shouldn't have a girlfriend
AndrewRogue: XD
Dark Japheth: Except that they suck up more money than scrooge mcduck.
Adm H Sopko: Right
Dark Japheth: Timed that PERFECTLY, I did
Dark Japheth: I'm kidding on that one, though- most decent girls don't want presents, or money. They'll be angry with you for merely spending any money on them
AndrewRogue: Good <_<
Adm H Sopko: Yes
Dark Japheth: Not only will they be angry
Adm H Sopko: Victoria absolutely refuses most presents
Dark Japheth: Flowers, however, are almost never refused
Dark Japheth: unless they are "Sorry I fucked your friend" flowers
AndrewRogue: That's because they are nice. Except those.
Dark Japheth: coughingpuppy: But believe it or not, Gorth, not all women are out to get you/manipulate you.
Dark Japheth: Best. Quote. Ever.
AndrewRogue: XD
Dark Japheth: In fact
Dark Japheth: SIGG'D
Dark Japheth: Mm. So Soppy, whats up with you?
Adm H Sopko: Eh...
Adm H Sopko: The distance is starting to get to me I suppose
Dark Japheth: What distance?
AndrewRogue: Long Distance relationship with his GF
Adm H Sopko: She's in Florida
Dark Japheth: I am sorry.

Adm H Sopko: http://www.risingsun.net/gallery/metro2004/ studio/source/metro2004-4724.shtml
AndrewRogue: Not the pictures! *shoots*
Dark Japheth: WHo is she cosplaying as?
AndrewRogue: Kei, Dirty Pair
AndrewRogue: Gyah I suck.
Adm H Sopko: http://www.risingsun.net/gallery/cs27/sat/sou rce/cs27-0504.shtml
Adm H Sopko: http://www.risingsun.net/gallery/cs27/sat/sou rce/cs27-0295.shtml
Adm H Sopko: My personal favorites
Dark Japheth: You know, Soppy
Dark Japheth: Normally I stab cosplayers
Dark Japheth: but she's not bad
Adm H Sopko: Yes
Adm H Sopko: We met because we were cosplaying
Adm H Sopko: http://www.risingsun.net/gallery/jacon2003/s unday/source/j2003-3232.shtml
Adm H Sopko: Thats the year after we got together
Dark Japheth: She has a king penguin
Dark Japheth: Emperor rather
Dark Japheth: Penguins > God
Adm H Sopko: Someone told me that there was a really good Asuka cosplayer looking to be me up in the Dealer's room, so I figured hey, I've seen no Asukas, so I'll go check. I go, and she's freaking HAWT
Adm H Sopko: beat me up even
Adm H Sopko: Took me a while to work up the courage, and finally was able to ask for a picture... Yes, the first thing I ever said to her was "Can I get a picture?"
Dark Japheth: Heh
Adm H Sopko: We hit it off right away. And since her and her friends were all female Eva characters with no Shinji, they coopted me into their group. We kept in touch afterwards, and we got together shortly afterwards
Adm H Sopko: And it was wierd, because her best friend also had sort of a crush on me and I didn't realize it.
Adm H Sopko: I was like... "WHY CAN'T THESE GIRLS EXIST LOCALLY?!?!?"
Dark Japheth: Because... they cosplay
Dark Japheth: and cosplayers + new jersey = pain
Adm H Sopko: ::Shrugs::
Dark Japheth: Thats how I see the equation, anyway. I mean..
Adm H Sopko: That was actually their first convention as well, and their first time cosplaying
Adm H Sopko: http://www.risingsun.net/gallery/cs27/sat/sou rce/cs27-0375.shtml
Adm H Sopko: Thats the friend who was also interested in me
Dark Japheth: She single?
Dark Japheth: :p
Adm H Sopko: Yes
Adm H Sopko: Not for lack of trying either
Adm H Sopko: She's... very aggressive
Dark Japheth: I see.
Adm H Sopko: Sort of a bitch, but very nice actually
AndrewRogue: ...
Dark Japheth: lol.
Dark Japheth: Andrew, don't worry
Dark Japheth: You'll understand one day. Sometimes, the bitchier they are, the nicer.
Dark Japheth: *nod*
AndrewRogue: I know. Its easy to understand in action, but so awkward to see written.
Adm H Sopko: She gets very jealous and annoyed though when I come to visit
Adm H Sopko: Even if it's like, once a year
Dark Japheth: Heh.
Adm H Sopko: But man are those fun times...
AndrewRogue: I could imagine. You bastard.
Dark Japheth: Hey, Andrew?
Dark Japheth: You want an Elven name?
AndrewRogue: ...uh?
Dark Japheth: These are forms of the Greek name Andreas, English Andrew.
Dark Japheth: It is derived from a word we have already met: andros "man". The meaning is apparently "manly"
Dark Japheth: Therefore
AndrewRogue: *dies laughing*
Dark Japheth: the elven translation of your name, is literally Vëon
Adm H Sopko: Oo! oo! Me!
Adm H Sopko: Kevin
AndrewRogue: Do Kevin!
AndrewRogue: Do him!
Dark Japheth: Ok
Adm H Sopko: And Victoria too
Dark Japheth: KEVIN (m.) - diminutive of Gaelic 'comely, beloved'
Dark Japheth: *meldince "little beloved", thus Meldince itself
Adm H Sopko: Yep. Knew that
Dark Japheth: Meldince.
Dark Japheth: :P
Adm H Sopko: Hmm... Meldince.
Dark Japheth: VICTORIA (f.) - feminine of VICTOR
Dark Japheth: VICTOR (m.) - Latin 'conqueror'; *mapar "seizer", thus Mapar itself; or maybe *nacil "victor", thus Nacil itself
Dark Japheth: But she's a girl
Dark Japheth: so
Dark Japheth: Mapare; Nacilme (the latter probably would also mean "victory" - closer to Latin 'victoria') or Túre ("victory, mastery")
Adm H Sopko: Nacilme or Ture sound good
Dark Japheth: Nacilme also seems to roll off the tongue with Meldince
Dark Japheth: Any other names?
Adm H Sopko: Hunter!
AndrewRogue: Eh... throw Megan, Ahsley and Arianna up there for kicks.
Dark Japheth: Hunter is literally "Hunter"
Dark Japheth: Roita is elven for Pursue
Dark Japheth: but we gotta make that male so
Dark Japheth: Roitar
Dark Japheth: or Roitao
Adm H Sopko: Bah. Not Roatio?<G>
Dark Japheth: Its gotta have Roita
Dark Japheth: Megan... I don't know what it means
Dark Japheth: :P
Dark Japheth: Ashley
Dark Japheth: Its old english- Ash+ Wood.
Dark Japheth: Litse "ash" in elven, glossed most of the time as sand but used by tolkien for either one... but Sindarin says its Lith, but... argh stupid elven
Adm H Sopko: Roitaj.,. Roitan... Roitas... Roitau
Dark Japheth: and Taure is wood, or forest maybe
Dark Japheth: Roitan works. Roitas works.
Dark Japheth: Anyway, ashely is Litsetaure
Dark Japheth: Already feminine
Dark Japheth: And Arianna
Dark Japheth: Oddly, I don't... know what Arianna means
Dark Japheth: :P
Dark Japheth: I know Adrianna is feminine for Adrian, which means Dark One
Adm H Sopko: Feminine of Aryan?<G>
AndrewRogue: Bummer. To be honest, I just wanted to know the origin of Arianna <_<
Dark Japheth: I believe Aria is song, which would be Linde.
Dark Japheth: Heh.
Dark Japheth: This baby names site says...
Adm H Sopko: HEIL ARIANNA
Dark Japheth: AMARYLLIS (f.) - Greek 'to sparkle';
Dark Japheth: Which would make... Tintinalle
Dark Japheth: thats Amaryllis in elven
Adm H Sopko: Alex is scaring me with gnome talk
AndrewRogue: ...I'm astounded.
Adm H Sopko: How... does he come up with it all?
AndrewRogue: So fast too.
Dark Japheth: I don't know, I'm not in chat, but I *will* read the logs
Dark Japheth: before I sleep
AndrewRogue: My real question is... how does he look closer? He's hugging her fucking leg.
Dark Japheth: Matthew- Gift of God
Adm H Sopko: Is Leatanna in there?
Dark Japheth: Eru = god, anna or anno = gift (annatar was Lord of Gifts)
Dark Japheth: Therefore, I am Eruanno
Dark Japheth: Leeanne is
Dark Japheth: leanne
Dark Japheth: However, if I had to guess
Dark Japheth: Its more like "Lea-hannah"
Dark Japheth: Which is Hebrew for Favor, or Grace, and grace is also Eruanna.
Dark Japheth: So that with Lea
Dark Japheth: Hebrew for cow, or weary
Dark Japheth: So its either Yaxe, or Yerniel, or Heri, Cane, or Cani, depending on mood
Dark Japheth: So eruanna is the second part, pick a first part.
Dark Japheth: Basically Cow Gracious Gift of God
Dark Japheth: If I guess right.
Dark Japheth: And that killed a good half hour, woo
Dark Japheth: Good night, everybody.
AndrewRogue: Night
Dark Japheth has left the room.
