You have just entered room "I wish you had arcane."
AndrewRogue: ...
AndrewRogue: Whoops.
Sarcazmo47: Bwahahahaha!
Dark Japheth: I'm hardly waiting for you to volunteer. I like the position you have now
Dark Japheth: But you see, they need a mage. Do you know anyone who does not suck, has assloads of free time, and would be willing to play a mage?
Adm H Sopko: See if you can get that PedanticOmnibud from GFaqs. He is a bastion of cool in that damn cesspool of Orion worshippers
Dark Japheth: I want to. However, my game schedule is rigid.
Dark Japheth: Just about every freaking night until we all get tired and then we get a day off
Dark Japheth: :P
Adm H Sopko: Heh
Adm H Sopko: Waiting for my first assignment...
Sarcazmo47: Assignment: Smite PC X!
*OnlineHost*: Sarcazmo47 rolled 1 4-sided die: 3
Sarcazmo47: Looks like you'll be smiting Riannon!
Adm H Sopko: Yay
Dark Japheth: No no no. :P
Dark Japheth: I don't know yet what your assignment will be
Dark Japheth: but oh lords it shall be fun
Dark Japheth: We start in ten minutes while I catch up on webcomics. Andrew- the big scary problem of the group isn't that you feed babies to manticores
Dark Japheth: Or the orificer
Dark Japheth: But the lack of arcane support.
Sarcazmo47: We don't feed babies to manticores.
AndrewRogue: Why are we directing that to me?
Sarcazmo47: We feed young children to manticores.
Dark Japheth: Because I've told everyone else here.
Dark Japheth: And the best idea is "hire an NPC mage"
Dark Japheth: But the problem with that is, I'm afraid you'll hire someone just to poison their food when some noble has them for dinner.
Adm H Sopko: ::Chuckles:: Poor Queklain
Dark Japheth: YEah. Poor Queklain.
Dark Japheth: Alrighty. I'm caught up. Hire NPC mage appears to be the idea here. But.
Dark Japheth: Recap before I begin.
AndrewRogue: WHOAMG, Recap'd
Dark Japheth: The party continued their way to Jolir. They thought they'd seen perhaps the biggest Wet Dream of the Druids (collectively) when they saw the town in Freydin.
Dark Japheth: They continued onward to Jolir, though. And frankly, I don't know how best to put this- on the way there, they were ambushed by a dragon.
Dark Japheth: I gave them hints. Piss poor DM hints, but thats my job. Anyway, total surprise, dragon roars and is ready to crush them...
Dark Japheth: When Riannon talks it out of killing everyone
Dark Japheth: Barely.
AndrewRogue: (Bah)
Dark Japheth: And I literally mean BARELY.
Dark Japheth: They went further... and reached the Jungle.
Dark Japheth: They thought it odd that I did not mention the huge ass trees. I did not think it was odd. Continuing onward, they arrived in Jolir, the capital city.
Dark Japheth: It was like... even better than Freydin.
AndrewRogue: (Druids joygasm on the spot, yo!)
Dark Japheth: Everything was written in sylvan, and elven as an afterthought.
Dark Japheth: It was dark, but ambient light pulsating from continual flame spells on sticks and branches of trees illuminated the place slightly.
Dark Japheth: Skocion- "I wanna see the roof!"
Dark Japheth: Landus- "Goddamnit thats a long way up."
Dark Japheth: Skocion- "Pweeeeze? <3"
Dark Japheth: Landus- "Oh, fine."
Dark Japheth: Landus carries him up! He sits down on the tree, meditates.
Dark Japheth: Then suddenly he starts bleeding and wakes from his trance vomiting blood.
Dark Japheth: They realize they are nearly a mile up. They get back down quickly in case there are mad lumberjacks with Tree Bane +4 Greataxes
Dark Japheth: They sleep. Come the morn, they head further, and arrive at... The Great Deku Tree!
Dark Japheth: No, really, just a huge ass tree, 500 feet across. Landus looked at it and said "Boss, FUCK YOU NO NOT CLIMBING THAT. I NEED AT LEAST A HANDJOB." Skocion says "I'm going under." And does so.
Dark Japheth: He heads towards a passage, opens the door.
Dark Japheth: Man stands there. He twitches, runs, and sends two shadow mastiff things to fight the group. Group slays them.
Dark Japheth: They head downstairs further... and see a tree.
Dark Japheth: The tree moves ominously. Being cautious PC's, and totally aware of suspense, they approach, slowly.
Dark Japheth: Skocion gets the closest, and the contingency goes off- a vine on the tree wrapped around his throat and began to hang him.
Dark Japheth: He cuts it off, pants heavily, says "GODDAMNIT!"
Dark Japheth: Party- *anime sweatdrop*
Dark Japheth: Skocion- *begins digging like a madman*
Dark Japheth: He pulls his hand up out of the dirt after a few minutes... holding a severed human hand, old beyond description. And his arm is totally covered in blood, as is the hand.
Dark Japheth: He says- "Lets get the fuck out of here, yo."
Dark Japheth: Party- "Tru dat."
Dark Japheth: And then I ended session.
Dark Japheth: Are we all sufficiently recapped?
AndrewRogue: *applaudes the recap*
AndrewRogue: The plot and character interactions were marvelous!
AndrewRogue: The drama... the suspense...!
Dark Japheth: This game *begs* for conversion to BESM.
AndrewRogue: Yes it does.
AndrewRogue: It hurts so bad.
AndrewRogue: *sneakily converts Landus to BESM*
Sarcazmo47: *slaps Andrew's wrists*
AndrewRogue: ;_;
Sarcazmo47: Cut that out!
Sarcazmo47: No messing with systems that Kirk doesn't recognize.
AndrewRogue: Awww...
AndrewRogue: Pweeeeeeeeeze? <3
AndrewRogue: Okay. Now I'm in the mood to kill.
Dark Japheth: And I left out perhaps the most important part. They saw a young Scratch, presumably living, playing his guitar, and singing- I shit you not- Bittersweet Symphony.
Dark Japheth: To a single pretty young goth girl.
AndrewRogue: Lasted 5:58
AndrewRogue: Or 5:56 on Kirk's computer.
Dark Japheth: But Kirk's goes for 5:56.
Dark Japheth: JYNX
AndrewRogue: Bastard.
Dark Japheth: Its a concept jynx, too!
Dark Japheth: ANyway, is we all ready?
AndrewRogue: Sure thing boss.
Dark Japheth: ~-~-~Resume~-~-~
Dark Japheth: The group stands in front of the tree, Skocion holding the severed hand.
Dark Japheth: The tree squirms, but does not move beyond fixing its roots into the ground.
AndrewRogue: "So... that's what we came for boss? A hand buried under a tree?"
Sarcazmo47: "...yeah."
Sarcazmo47: "Come on." He's in a hurry to leave the vicinity of the tree.
AndrewRogue: *he shrugs* "Right boss." *seeing eye-harpy*
AndrewRogue: And wham bam cave exiting process.
Dark Japheth: You crawl up to the previous room.
Dark Japheth: And sitting there is the man, who looks at you once, then at the hand.
Dark Japheth: "You can't take that. Put it back. NOW."
AndrewRogue: *Landus cracks his knuckles*
Sarcazmo47: brb
Dark Japheth: mmm, waiting.
Sarcazmo47: Sorry.
Sarcazmo47: Relationship troubles and all that.
Sarcazmo47: Just a moment.
AndrewRogue: No problem.
AndrewRogue: *reads Ender's Game more*
Dark Japheth: I'm willing to wait as long as you are.
Dark Japheth: IM spam me when gane is back on.
AndrewRogue: Can I IM spam you now?
AndrewRogue: <_<
Dark Japheth: OMG HUGE FAVOR ANDREW.
Dark Japheth: Can you put a ilnk to the map on the page? :P
Dark Japheth: So you know, I don't have to ask you for a link every session.
AndrewRogue: I'll put it on the main page right now actually.
AndrewRogue: Check it now.
Dark Japheth: I like cool intro crap by Gorth
Dark Japheth: :P
AndrewRogue: <_<
AndrewRogue: Does the map link work?
Sarcazmo47: Arrrrrgh.
AndrewRogue: ?
Sarcazmo47: Nothing.
AndrewRogue: Right. *nods*
Sarcazmo47: I like how there's an underwater Swastica in Amaryllis.
Dark Japheth: Thats actually the entire nation of Cunar.
Dark Japheth: Sunken about... three miles beneath the surface.
Sarcazmo47: Anyhoo, back to game.
Dark Japheth: Wait wait wait.
Dark Japheth: First off. You ok?
Sarcazmo47: Always.
Dark Japheth: Ok, then we game.
Dark Japheth: The man raises his eyebrows. "You aren't taking that. I'd suggest you put it back."
Sarcazmo47: Skocion's answer is to look over at Landus, then to draw his weapon.
Dark Japheth: He sighs. "Must we resort to violence? Why don't you put that down, and give me the hand."
Dark Japheth: Skocion, will save. Suggestion.
*OnlineHost*: Sarcazmo47 rolled 1 20-sided die: 19
Dark Japheth: ...fuck
AndrewRogue: Whoooops.
Sarcazmo47: Skocion nods.
Sarcazmo47: Looking totally agreeable.
Sarcazmo47: And walks towards the man, reaching into his pouch.
Sarcazmo47: He doesn't put the weapon down, though.
Dark Japheth: He smiles. "Give me that hand.' He holds his hands out.
AndrewRogue: *Landus feigns surprise as he follows* "But boss..."
Sarcazmo47: Aaaaand Skocion cuts the man's hand OFF.
*OnlineHost*: Sarcazmo47 rolled 1 20-sided die: 4
Dark Japheth: Total?
Sarcazmo47: Does 14 hit the flat-footed seated AC?
Dark Japheth: It does. Whats that sword made out of?
Sarcazmo47: Uh...metal?
Sarcazmo47: It's a magic weapon...
Dark Japheth: So steel?
Sarcazmo47: *Doe eyes*
Dark Japheth: Ok.
Dark Japheth: *shrugs*
Sarcazmo47: Anyhoo.
Dark Japheth: Hit.
Sarcazmo47: What happens?
Dark Japheth: Roll damage.
Dark Japheth: :P
Sarcazmo47: My weapon explodes?
Dark Japheth: Then inits are rolled.
Dark Japheth: Roll damage.
*OnlineHost*: Sarcazmo47 rolled 2 6-sided dice: 5 5
Sarcazmo47: 14.
*OnlineHost*: Sarcazmo47 rolled 1 20-sided die: 15
Sarcazmo47: 19.
*OnlineHost*: AndrewRogue rolled 1 20-sided die: 5
AndrewRogue: 9
*OnlineHost*: Dark Japheth rolled 1 20-sided die: 15
Dark Japheth: 17.
Sarcazmo47: Ow ow ow his HAND
Dark Japheth: The mans hand is severed... and when it hits the ground, it turns into a paw. A large paw.
Dark Japheth: No, he hasn't even flinched.
AndrewRogue: (...oh fuck.)
Sarcazmo47: Bastard.
Sarcazmo47: Skocion assigns the paw his Dodge bonus, and tries to plant his sword in the fellow's skull.
Dark Japheth: (*hugs damage reduction*)
*OnlineHost*: Sarcazmo47 rolled 1 20-sided die: 16
Sarcazmo47: 26?
Sarcazmo47: Yeah, he's still flat footed.
*OnlineHost*: Sarcazmo47 rolled 2 6-sided dice: 2 3
Dark Japheth: Hit, AC is 21, 19 with no dex.
Sarcazmo47: 9.
Dark Japheth: The sword stabs, but the wounds heal completely over before you've completely removed the sword from the skull.
Sarcazmo47: Greeeat.
Dark Japheth: But it has managed to dispel the illusion. The mans face is... furred.
AndrewRogue: It looks like we finally picked a fight with something we weren't supposed to :p
Dark Japheth: And a long white beard hangs from his mouth. His head is almost... like a tiger.
Sarcazmo47: Like...a weretiger, perhaps?
Sarcazmo47: With DR 10/silver?
Dark Japheth: Maybe.
Sarcazmo47: Gooooood.
AndrewRogue: (Or a Rakasha with DR/Oh God The Pain?)
Sarcazmo47: Ooo, that would work too.
Dark Japheth: Yeah, ANdrew. What way were his hands facing?
AndrewRogue: The wrong way!
Dark Japheth: The Rakshasa steps back a few feet, and growls. "You will pay for this."
Dark Japheth: And... its hand flies up to rejoin it at the wrist.
Dark Japheth: And damnit, brb
AndrewRogue: (*wishes they had blessed crossbow bolts*)
Adm H Sopko: (Thats my department)
AndrewRogue: (Heh.)
Dark Japheth: ANd I'm back.
Dark Japheth: The Rakshasa chortles with glee, and a crackling ball appears in his hand, which he launches at the two of you.
Dark Japheth: Reflex saves.
*OnlineHost*: Sarcazmo47 rolled 1 20-sided die: 8
Sarcazmo47: 18.
*OnlineHost*: AndrewRogue rolled 1 20-sided die: 8
AndrewRogue: 16
Dark Japheth: Nice, half damage.
*OnlineHost*: Dark Japheth rolled 7 6-sided dice: 3 3 6 3 1 1 6
Dark Japheth: ...Woah.
Dark Japheth: 11 damage.
AndrewRogue: I have evasion <_<
Dark Japheth: Make that no damage.
Dark Japheth: :P
Sarcazmo47: OW'd!
AndrewRogue: Yeah...
Sarcazmo47: Skocion is singed.
AndrewRogue: Moi?
Dark Japheth: I believe.
Dark Japheth: I didn't roll init for the hand.
Sarcazmo47: It reattached, didn't it?
Dark Japheth: Right. :P
AndrewRogue: Well then, Landus shall charge across the room and plant his palm in the beast's sterum with a mighty shout. Stunning Fist + Charge
Dark Japheth: There are no other combatants. Its two level 5 PC's against one CR 9 baddy. Who has a very small amount of HP.
*OnlineHost*: AndrewRogue rolled 1 20-sided die: 2
Dark Japheth: Aww.
AndrewRogue: And now we're in trouble.
Dark Japheth: I am sad panda. So is God. Skocion, I believe its your turn.
Dark Japheth: :P
Dark Japheth: mm.
Sarcazmo47: Hang on..
Dark Japheth: Alright.
Sarcazmo47: Hokay, things are better now.
Sarcazmo47: It is my turn.
Sarcazmo47: Indeed.
AndrewRogue: (You all right?)
Sarcazmo47: Always.
Sarcazmo47: Skocion will assign a dodge bonus to the Rakhassa.
Dark Japheth: Good plan.
Sarcazmo47: And he will attempt to cut it once more.
Sarcazmo47: After moving to give Landus flanking.
Sarcazmo47: And provoking an AoO.
Dark Japheth: The Rakshasa takes it, clawing you.
*OnlineHost*: Dark Japheth rolled 1 20-sided die: 3
Dark Japheth: But he misses.
Dark Japheth: His hand swipes wide- probably because his hand is attached kind of crookedly.
Sarcazmo47: Nice.
Sarcazmo47: And Skocion will once again attempt to cut the beastie.
*OnlineHost*: Sarcazmo47 rolled 1 20-sided die: 16
Sarcazmo47: And once again, will hit, but deal no damage.
Dark Japheth: Roll the damage anyway.
*OnlineHost*: Sarcazmo47 rolled 2 6-sided dice: 4 5
Sarcazmo47: 13.
Dark Japheth: You did damage earlier. You've gotta break the 10 mark physically.
Sarcazmo47: Ahh.
Dark Japheth: The acid burns through either way.
Dark Japheth: So.
Sarcazmo47: Well, then.
Sarcazmo47: 5 acid damage.
Dark Japheth: He roars, and then takes a five foot step so neither of you are flanking. He draws his weapon, an ornate looking scimitar, which provokes an AoO from Landus.
AndrewRogue: Bitch.
*OnlineHost*: AndrewRogue rolled 1 20-sided die: 20
Sarcazmo47: HOOWA
Dark Japheth: OMG.
Dark Japheth: Confirm that crit.
*OnlineHost*: AndrewRogue rolled 1 20-sided die: 15
AndrewRogue: 21!
Sarcazmo47: Roll that max damage!
Dark Japheth: AND CONFIRM'D
*OnlineHost*: AndrewRogue rolled 1 6-sided die: 6
Sarcazmo47: BLAM
AndrewRogue: 16 bitch.
Dark Japheth: Well. Holy fucking shit.
Sarcazmo47: It's been kicked up a notch.
Dark Japheth: Its face is pummeled! It roars in pain!
Dark Japheth: Concentration check.
*OnlineHost*: Dark Japheth rolled 1 20-sided die: 15
Dark Japheth: ...DC on that spell is 11 + 16, 27, and he fails.
Sarcazmo47: Sucks for him!
Dark Japheth: Pwned.
Dark Japheth: Landus, your turn.
Sarcazmo47: CUT HIS FUCKING HEAD OFF!
AndrewRogue: I'm expending a Vile Point to get my stunning to do ultra cool stuff.
Sarcazmo47: </Waterboy>
Sarcazmo47: Extra vile stunning!
AndrewRogue: *Landus crooks his hand into a weird spear like shape and lunges straight for its throat*
*OnlineHost*: AndrewRogue rolled 1 20-sided die: 17
AndrewRogue: 23'd
Sarcazmo47: Oooo. I like that.
Dark Japheth: Well SHIT.
Dark Japheth: Fort save DC?
AndrewRogue: 16 <_<
*OnlineHost*: Dark Japheth rolled 1 20-sided die: 15
Sarcazmo47: Aww.
Sarcazmo47: Too bad.
AndrewRogue: *cries*
Dark Japheth: Roll some damage.
Dark Japheth: :P
AndrewRogue: Landus's special ability is useless!
*OnlineHost*: AndrewRogue rolled 1 6-sided die: 2
Dark Japheth: At the moment. >>>
Sarcazmo47: Ah, well.
AndrewRogue: 4.
AndrewRogue: Heh
Dark Japheth: The Rakshasa SCREAMS
Dark Japheth: IN UNGODLY PAIN. More like a roar.
Dark Japheth: Then again
Sarcazmo47: Nobody likes the Vile Lance.
Dark Japheth: You did just strike him in the eyes.
Dark Japheth: He's holding the empty sockets and screaming, blood pouring from his eyes.
AndrewRogue: That works ^_^
Sarcazmo47: LANDUS IS PAI MAI!
Dark Japheth: Your turn, Skocion. Consider him flatfooted.
Dark Japheth: :P
*OnlineHost*: Sarcazmo47 rolled 1 20-sided die: 20
AndrewRogue: XD
Dark Japheth: Confirm that. :P
*OnlineHost*: Sarcazmo47 rolled 1 20-sided die: 3
Sarcazmo47: Aww.
Sarcazmo47: 13.
AndrewRogue: Aww.
Sarcazmo47: Oh, wait.
Dark Japheth: Still a good old fashioned hit.
Sarcazmo47: 15 w/flanking.
Dark Japheth: Heh. Too bad.
Sarcazmo47: Too bad, indeed.
Dark Japheth: Natural armor is +9, so you needed to beat 19.
AndrewRogue: A shame that.
*OnlineHost*: Sarcazmo47 rolled 1 6-sided die: 3
Sarcazmo47: 3 acid damage.
Sarcazmo47: And he moves, which would provoke except for that total concealment thing.
Dark Japheth: The Rakshasa roars as Skocion carves his initials into his back. He punches, yes, punches, Landus in the face. or tries to.
*OnlineHost*: Dark Japheth rolled 1 20-sided die: 15
Dark Japheth: Whats your AC?
AndrewRogue: 21
Dark Japheth: High or low?
Dark Japheth: :P
AndrewRogue: High.
*OnlineHost*: Dark Japheth rolled 1 2-sided die: 1
Sarcazmo47: Awww.
Dark Japheth: The Rakshasa swings, and misses!
Sarcazmo47: Bummer, d00d!
Dark Japheth: Your turn, Landus.
Sarcazmo47: Aww, he's denied his Dex!
Sarcazmo47: SNEAK ATTACK'D!
AndrewRogue: Landus shall send two more of his patented strikes towards its vulnerable places, his hands like lil' snakes of doom ^_^
*OnlineHost*: AndrewRogue rolled 1 20-sided die: 20
*OnlineHost*: AndrewRogue rolled 1 20-sided die: 2
Dark Japheth: Radscorpions
Sarcazmo47: Lil' snakes of doom.
Dark Japheth: Confirm.
*OnlineHost*: AndrewRogue rolled 1 20-sided die: 19
Sarcazmo47: That's fantastic.
Dark Japheth: Yeah confirm'd.
Dark Japheth: This is insane.
*OnlineHost*: AndrewRogue rolled 1 6-sided die: 1
AndrewRogue: 6+
Dark Japheth: Landus = Earns the Rakshasa Fighting Championship this game.
*OnlineHost*: AndrewRogue rolled 2 6-sided dice: 2 2
AndrewRogue: Oh hell.
Sarcazmo47: Ah, well.
Sarcazmo47: Too bad.
Sarcazmo47: So sad.
AndrewRogue: 10 total ^_^
Dark Japheth: The Rakshasa roars again.
Sarcazmo47: Skocion, who is begining to realize that trying to slice the beastie is not working out so well, moves his blade perpendicular to the thing and simply presses the flat of acid-dripping sword against the Rakshasa's back.
*OnlineHost*: Sarcazmo47 rolled 1 20-sided die: 18
*OnlineHost*: Sarcazmo47 rolled 1 20-sided die: 5
Sarcazmo47: Aww.
*OnlineHost*: Sarcazmo47 rolled 1 6-sided die: 2
Sarcazmo47: Branded for 2 acid damage!
Dark Japheth: The Rakshasa falls to the ground, sizzling. Not dead, but unconscious from pain.
Dark Japheth: Goddamn their HP sucks ass.
Sarcazmo47: CdG!
Sarcazmo47: STAB STAB STAB
AndrewRogue: Double CdG
Sarcazmo47: We pull a Proximo.
Dark Japheth: Ok.
Dark Japheth: It dies. :P
Sarcazmo47: Goooood.
Dark Japheth: When it does... before it dies... it assumes a beautiful and fair visage. Int check, or any knowledge.
*OnlineHost*: AndrewRogue rolled 1 20-sided die: 19
Sarcazmo47: Arcana!
AndrewRogue: 21 Int
Sarcazmo47: Religion!
Sarcazmo47: N&R!
*OnlineHost*: Sarcazmo47 rolled 3 20-sided dice: 6 3 14
AndrewRogue: *Landus snorts*
Sarcazmo47: Skocion just sighs.
Sarcazmo47: "That's the second thing we've had to kill in this room."
Dark Japheth: It vanishes, leaving behind no body, only a really ripped up robe, a scimitar, and a necklace with a bit of amber at the end.
Sarcazmo47: "I wonder why it was here?"
AndrewRogue: "I guess it was guarding that hand."
AndrewRogue: "Eh heh... either way, it doesn't really matter anymore."
Sarcazmo47: Skocion nods. "Indeed." He sheathes his weapon. "What....is in here?"
Dark Japheth: Its book still remains on the table, opened to a page filled with arcane sigils.
AndrewRogue: "Well boss... we got a shiny scimitar, a necklace, a torn up robe and its book with a bunch of wizard-scribbles."
Sarcazmo47: Skocion blinks. "Nothing else?"
AndrewRogue: Landus looks about for anything else of notice.
Dark Japheth: There is a chair. It is a nice chair.
Sarcazmo47: We take the chair.
Sarcazmo47: No, not really.
Sarcazmo47: "Take it all. Let's go."
Dark Japheth: There is a crude walking stick in the corner, gnarled, but suitable for one who was looking for the "hermit" image.
Dark Japheth: There is also a finely crafted set of boots.
Dark Japheth: Made out of some sort of reptile skin.
AndrewRogue: *sighs and collects the stuff*
Sarcazmo47: And they go.
Dark Japheth: At the top, your horses, tied up, are waiting. And neighing, loudly, whinnying and screaming.
Dark Japheth: Heavy breathing noises are heard. Something is coming from the other side of the tree, maybe.
Dark Japheth: By the way, spot checks.
*OnlineHost*: AndrewRogue rolled 1 20-sided die: 17
AndrewRogue: 31
Dark Japheth: The tree you came out of... there is a large claw mark across the front of it. Its crudely scratched into it- it looks like a sword, facing up. With a circle for a hilt. It still has a swordguard.
*OnlineHost*: Sarcazmo47 rolled 1 20-sided die: 14
Dark Japheth: Fresh sap bleeds from it- thats *really* fucking recent.
Sarcazmo47: 15 for the blind guy!
Sarcazmo47: "That's...interesting."
AndrewRogue: "If its not one thing, its another. Someone clawed the mark of a sword into the tree, and, eh heh, I must wonder if they're not still here."
Sarcazmo47: Skocion nods. "Unless you want to look around for it....let's hurry."
Sarcazmo47: "I...think it's a message."
AndrewRogue: "I'm fine with moving on. What kind of message though?" *piles stuff on the horses*
Sarcazmo47: "I'm not sure."
Sarcazmo47: Knowledge'd!
*OnlineHost*: Sarcazmo47 rolled 3 20-sided dice: 14 1 16
Sarcazmo47: Skocion looks at it for a moment.
Sarcazmo47: "Let's leave. Now."
Sarcazmo47: And suiting actions to words, he takes a horse, and leaves.
Sarcazmo47: With the fastness.
AndrewRogue: "Sure thing." *follow'd*
Dark Japheth: Thats a definate good plan.
Dark Japheth: The night falls, eventually. But there is no way to tell. None. Whatsoever.
Dark Japheth: A random knowledge- Nature check.
AndrewRogue: Wisdom check suffice?
Sarcazmo47: Skocion actually pushes for a forced march - they ride through the night.
Dark Japheth: Sure.
*OnlineHost*: Sarcazmo47 rolled 1 20-sided die: 12
Sarcazmo47: 13.
*OnlineHost*: AndrewRogue rolled 1 20-sided die: 15
AndrewRogue: 19
AndrewRogue: "Er... hey boss?"
Sarcazmo47: "Yes?"
AndrewRogue: "Something's knocked down trees since we've been here."
Sarcazmo47: "That's great. Keep riding."
AndrewRogue: "More than happy."
Sarcazmo47: He does produce some herbs that serve as caffine drugs, probably leaves to be chewed or something.
Dark Japheth: brb.
Sarcazmo47: And shares them around.
AndrewRogue: Chew'd on.
Sarcazmo47: (Lil' snakes of Doom?)
AndrewRogue: (Ender's Game. They were on my mind.)
Sarcazmo47: Ahhh.
Sarcazmo47: Kiss the snake!
AndrewRogue: Go lucky AIM dice tonight <_<
Dark Japheth: Eventually, you arrive in Jolir.
Dark Japheth: The town is bustling- this is what passes for daytime, here.
Sarcazmo47: Yippie!
Sarcazmo47: They are exhausted and get the same rooms they got before.
Sarcazmo47: Skocion pays through the nose because he's too tired to care.
Dark Japheth: Good plan.
Sarcazmo47: When they recover, Skocion runs a few errands.
Sarcazmo47: He gets a ball of string and uses it to take several very precise mesurements of the hand.
Sarcazmo47: Then takes the measurements to a tailor and commissions a black velvet glove.
Dark Japheth: Wonderful.
Sarcazmo47: The he gets a block of polished wood - preferably a very absorbent kind, unfinished.
Sarcazmo47: The better to soak up blood, you know.
Dark Japheth: Even better.
AndrewRogue: Landus is just gonna watch this all curiously.
Sarcazmo47: Oh, he does all this in his own room.
Sarcazmo47: After it's all been done, THEN he calls in Landus.
AndrewRogue: Ah.
AndrewRogue: He shall look curiously at boss then.
Sarcazmo47: The room is marginally dark, and there are candles and chilled wine. It's definitely a yaoi atmosphere.
Sarcazmo47: Yup.
AndrewRogue: Nooo, can't get any Yuri without it being related to evil and rape. But Yaoi? Its all over the place.
Sarcazmo47: Skocion gestures for Landus to have a glass, and seats himself in a chair, with the wood block arranged like a footstool.
Sarcazmo47: He doesn't put his feet on it, though.
AndrewRogue: "Eh heh... setting up for an exciting night boss?"
Sarcazmo47: Skocion is drinking more heavily than usual.
Sarcazmo47: "Ah...yes, yes. Please, have a seat."
AndrewRogue: *seats himself comfortably, but doesn't grab any of the wine*
Sarcazmo47: He drinks a bit more. "How good are you at bringing down your enemies?"
AndrewRogue: *he smirks* "Well boss, judging by my work on that ass-hole under the tree, pretty well."
Sarcazmo47: He nods. "But you're not the best."
AndrewRogue: "It'd be ridiculous to say that. Going around claiming you're the best sets you up for a fall."
Sarcazmo47: Skocion nods. "What if you could be?"
AndrewRogue: "Eh heh... then I'd say you are full of shit boss."
Sarcazmo47: Skocion shrugs. "I don't lie."
Sarcazmo47: "But let's just pretend, shall we?"
Sarcazmo47: "What if you could be the best there ever was?"
AndrewRogue: *he shrugs* "Dunno really."
Sarcazmo47: Skocion quirks an eyebrow.
Sarcazmo47: "You're strong, Landus. But not that strong. You could be stronger. You could be better. You could be the best."
Sarcazmo47: He giggles.
AndrewRogue: (The Yaoi burns.)
Sarcazmo47: "But there's always a price, you know. Always."
Sarcazmo47: (I know. I know. *shame*)
Dark Japheth: (I'm waiting for Skocion to say "But Landus! No! Don't go! I wuv you! <3")
AndrewRogue: (Why are my characters doomed to weird relationships?)
AndrewRogue: (<_<)
Sarcazmo47: (Because they hang out with fucked up people?)
AndrewRogue: Eh... Sense Boss's motive.
AndrewRogue: Landus wants to get his hint.
*OnlineHost*: AndrewRogue rolled 1 20-sided die: 15
*OnlineHost*: Sarcazmo47 rolled 1 20-sided die: 7
AndrewRogue: 32.
Sarcazmo47: What kinda hint are you looking for?
AndrewRogue: What the hell boss is implying.
Sarcazmo47: That you could be stronger, better faster. He could rebuild you. But there would be an up-front cost.
AndrewRogue: "Does this has something to do with that stuff we found boss?"
Sarcazmo47: It's....the Six Million Dollar Landus!
AndrewRogue: (XD)
Dark Japheth: I am too amused.
Sarcazmo47: "Mmm hmmmmm! Indeed it does!" He drinks some more. "You could stop a man's heart with a touch. You could freeze a lake with a wave of your hand. You could suck the flame of life out of anyone that opposed you -
Sarcazmo47: all to augment what you can already do - stop a man with your bare fist."
AndrewRogue: "Uh huh..."
Sarcazmo47: Skocion laughs.
Sarcazmo47: "But there's a cost, you know?"
Sarcazmo47: "Pain and fire and blood."
AndrewRogue: "Oh?"
Sarcazmo47: "Baptized in pain. Oh yes."
Sarcazmo47: "It would hurt and hurt and hurt. Are you afraid of pain, Landus?"
AndrewRogue: "Nope."
Sarcazmo47: Skocion nods.
Sarcazmo47: "I won't tell you to do it...it's not the kind of thing one man can make another man do. It would be your choice."
AndrewRogue: "You have me at the edge of the seat boss."
Sarcazmo47: Skocion laughs again, takes a sip of wine, and then puts the hand they recovered, now clean and almost alabaster, on the wooden block.
Sarcazmo47: The he reaches to his side and takes his scimitar. It's not bleeding acid - apparently he's paused the enchantment. It's merely very, very sharp.
Sarcazmo47: And he sets it, too, on the wooden block.
Sarcazmo47: Do I need to roll an Innuendo check?
AndrewRogue: "I hope you aren't considering serving it with the wine boss."
Sarcazmo47: "It's a replacement."
AndrewRogue: "You cut off a hand and put a new one there?"
Sarcazmo47: Skocion nods. "There's the catch, isn't it?"
Sarcazmo47: "If you want it....take it. Otherwise.."
Sarcazmo47: And he grimaces.
Sarcazmo47: "I'd be grateful if you'd wield the blade."
AndrewRogue: "So if I don't take it, you intend to use it?"
Sarcazmo47: Skocion nods, and hefts the wine.
Sarcazmo47: Then drains the last of what is in his glass.
AndrewRogue: "Perhaps you should think more about this when your sober boss."
Sarcazmo47: "No, then it would only hurt more."
AndrewRogue: *Landus clicks his tounge* "And just by cutting off my hand and attatching that I'd get all those things you said?"
Sarcazmo47: "And unlike you, my dear brave Landus, I'm quite afraid of pain."
Sarcazmo47: Skocion shrugs. "I think so. That's what he told me."
AndrewRogue: "Scratch, eh?"
Sarcazmo47: Skocion nods.
AndrewRogue: "Well ya know boss, I'm pretty flattered."
Sarcazmo47: Skocion smiles. "You're quite welcome."
AndrewRogue: *he rests his chin on his hand*
AndrewRogue: "You know what the bitch Niniel told me once?"
Sarcazmo47: "What?"
Dark Japheth: (As opposed to the Sweet Niniel, and Ninielk-47)
Sarcazmo47: NinielK-47 is so in my party.
Dark Japheth: I hope you have repair.
AndrewRogue: "That the path of ease leads to Karnage, and that if I wanted to cure Jeanne I was going to have to do the hardest thing. No magic cure, having to swallow my own pride and beg for help."
AndrewRogue: (XD)
Sarcazmo47: Skocion giggles. "Oh, it leads to Karnage, right enough."
AndrewRogue: *he waves a hand dismissively* "I hate to attribute anything to her, but she was mostly right."
AndrewRogue: "Asking was easy shit."
AndrewRogue: "And here I am, short one sister."
Sarcazmo47: Skocion just nods.
AndrewRogue: "Same fucking thing here. Cutting my hand off and replacing it is easy enough."
Sarcazmo47: "And there you are.....short one hand."
AndrewRogue: *he chuckles*
Sarcazmo47: Skocion siezes the wine bottle by the neck and downs a swallow. "You're a wise man, Landus. Very wise. As fate would have it, though..."
Sarcazmo47: Another swallow.
Sarcazmo47: "....I am not."
Sarcazmo47: He takes one last swallow, then tosses the bottle over his shoulder with a crash.
AndrewRogue: *he shrugs* "Eh heh... maybe I'm overestimating the danger. I've been down a road I don't want back on."
Sarcazmo47: Skocion just kneels and spreads his right hand on the wooden block.
Sarcazmo47: And lines up the other hand precisely, so that they match as well as they can.
AndrewRogue: *Landus stands up and grabs the Scimitar*
Sarcazmo47: The other being the severed hand in question.
AndrewRogue: *he trots over to the side and kneels down* "So you gonna do it boss?"
Sarcazmo47: "It's my fate." He giggles.
AndrewRogue: "I don't want you fucking at me tomorrow morning."
Dark Japheth: (God. Damn. This. Game. Gives. Me. Nerdgasms.)
Sarcazmo47: ((.....what?))
Dark Japheth: (Fucking at me?)
Dark Japheth: (what? The? Bitch?)
AndrewRogue: (Wow. My typing is atrocious.)
AndrewRogue: (That should have been bitching. <_<)
Sarcazmo47: (And why are you getting Nerdgasms, Gorth?)
Dark Japheth: (Fate.)
Sarcazmo47: (Yeah, I know. We rock.)
Dark Japheth: (It is your fate. You don't fight it... you accept it! You do not deny prophecies, and hate them! You accept them with a resigned head!)
Dark Japheth: (*laughs!*)
Sarcazmo47: "Just do it."
Dark Japheth: (This is so *anti* warriors of hope, its not even funny)
AndrewRogue: "Right then. Don't complain to me if you don't like it though."
Sarcazmo47: He grunts. He's staring at his hand.
AndrewRogue: *he lines the blade up carefully, with the same precision he strikes his blows*
Dark Japheth: Roll damage.
AndrewRogue: WHAP
*OnlineHost*: AndrewRogue rolled 1 6-sided die: 2
AndrewRogue: 4
*OnlineHost*: AndrewRogue rolled 2 6-sided dice: 1 2
Sarcazmo47: Auto-crit?
AndrewRogue: Plus Sneak Attack!
Sarcazmo47: Owie!
Dark Japheth: ECKS DEE
Sarcazmo47: Total?
AndrewRogue: 7 should off the hand.
Dark Japheth: Oh, it does. The hand is lopped off- and from the momentum, it launches into the air, plopping onto the floor. It clenches for a moment, and is still.
Sarcazmo47: Skocion starts to scream and then clamps his mouth shut, biting down hard enough to draw blood.
Sarcazmo47: He grabs the other hand and, in what must be true agony, lines it up precisely before attaching it.
Dark Japheth: Blood is everywhere. Skocion's tendons are showing, so too are his bones- which are neatly cleaved asunder. Blood pours, quickly.... and ceases instantly.
Dark Japheth: Four damage is healed.
Sarcazmo47: Skocion shudders, and gasps.
Dark Japheth: Skocion's new hand immediately wraps around his wrist, and then connects, but slowly. Agonizingly.
Dark Japheth: It feels... cold. So cold... like someone had replaced your veins with ice. Pure liquid ice. Like those breath strip things. Man, its cold, it stings... its numb...
AndrewRogue: *watches with morbid interest as he wipes the blade on his pants and sets it on the table*
Dark Japheth: Skocion loses one point of Dexterity, permanantly.
Sarcazmo47: Noted.
AndrewRogue: (So... we trying for Scratch's head next? <_<)
Sarcazmo47: (Hush, you.)
Dark Japheth: (...if we do, I vote we first place a nonmagical head of Scratch on a pedestal for the good group to find!)
Sarcazmo47: (Agreed.)
AndrewRogue: "Well... that looks like it might have bothered even me a bit."
Dark Japheth: The bleeding has stopped, but thankfully, the wood block is soaked, and not too much on the floor. Where it has spilled, it looks like wine. Maybe.
Dark Japheth: The fingernail/claws on the hand are jagged, almost, but honed to a fine and sharp edge.
Dark Japheth: The numbness clears, finally.
Dark Japheth: (Everybody, lets give Skocion a big hand!)
Sarcazmo47: (Don't make me kill you.)
Sarcazmo47: The first thing Skocion does is use the handily available bucket of hot water and towel to clean himself off.
Sarcazmo47: And then, he puts on the glove.
AndrewRogue: "Need some help boss?"
Sarcazmo47: Well, no.
Sarcazmo47: Before he puts on the glove, he sticks his new hand in the bucket.
Dark Japheth: The waters surface seems to freeze, and a little layer of frost clings to the side.
Sarcazmo47: Iiiiiteresting.
Sarcazmo47: "No..no....I'll...be allright. Would you mind cleaning up?"
AndrewRogue: "Sure thing."
Sarcazmo47: And Skocion is going to spend a bit of time learning how to use his new hand here.
AndrewRogue: Landus... cleans up the more annoying part of the mess I suppose.
AndrewRogue: And then he shall finally take that glass of wine Skoc set out for him.
Sarcazmo47: Skocion just marvels at it for a while, then finally gets up, looking rather woozy, and says, "I think I'll go to sleep now."
AndrewRogue: "Right then. Thanks for the drink boss."
Sarcazmo47: "No problem."
AndrewRogue: And Landus shall return to his room to go sleep.
Sarcazmo47: And lo, the yaoi was avoided.
Dark Japheth: So it was good.
AndrewRogue: I'm trying to avoid hints of sexual niftiness between two siblings. That's just creepy.
Dark Japheth: You both sleep, then?
AndrewRogue: Landus sure does.
Dark Japheth: Skocion, its been two days. But for the sake of my own amusement, we'll do that in IM.
AndrewRogue: Does this entitle me to walk away for a bit?
Sarcazmo47: Sure.
Dark Japheth: Certes, if you'd like.
AndrewRogue: Well, if you intend to do it in IM, I assume the chat shall be dull :p
AndrewRogue: So... I shall check back intermittently and see if my roomies want to play Halo or something.
Dark Japheth: Ok. We can keep going in chat, if yuo'd rather that.
Sarcazmo47: Okie dokie.
Sarcazmo47: "Oh, digging up family heirlooms."
Dark Japheth: She looks at you. "Why?"
Dark Japheth: Scratch just... sits, kind of quiet.
Dark Japheth: Hmm. Wis check.
*OnlineHost*: Sarcazmo47 rolled 1 20-sided die: 7
Sarcazmo47: 8
AndrewRogue: (Roommates are dull. So I shall sit here.)
Dark Japheth: (If you'd like to be involved)
Dark Japheth: (By all means, come.)
Dark Japheth: (I'll use Deux Ex Scratchina and bring you in. :P)
Sarcazmo47: "Amusingly enough, I forgot. Are you partial to salads, milady?"
Dark Japheth: "Something like that." She smiles. "Matthias used to make me a salad every day. Here, though, I don't need to eat, and neither does he, or you."
Dark Japheth: Scratch- "But the nostalgia was worth it, right?"
Dark Japheth: She laughs, and giggles. "Only on a stretch, Matthias."
Dark Japheth: Meanwhile, Scratch sighs, and the food is gone.
Sarcazmo47: Skocion shrugs. "And yourself, milady? What has been the buisness that fills your recent days?"
Dark Japheth: "The same thing that has always been. Waiting." She sighs. "The world stagnated."
Sarcazmo47: "I'm sorry to hear it. I've actually found it quite lively, myself."
Dark Japheth: Scratch smiles, and laughs sarcastically. "Ha ha. Both of you can still look at the sun."
Sarcazmo47: Skocion blinks.
AndrewRogue: (XD)
Dark Japheth: The woman sighs. "You are right, Matthias. You are right. We take the little things for granted."
Dark Japheth: How about another wisdom check?
Dark Japheth: Hell, screw that- int.
Dark Japheth: :P
*OnlineHost*: Sarcazmo47 rolled 1 20-sided die: 12
Sarcazmo47: Knowledge Religion?
Dark Japheth: Nope.
Sarcazmo47: 13.
Dark Japheth: But this woman... looks a lot like the person he was singing his song to.
Dark Japheth: But she isn't her- the hair isn't dark enuogh, the mood isn't dour enough, and nowhere near as much eyeshadow.
Sarcazmo47: Huh.
Sarcazmo47: Fortunately, Skocion doesn't really care about Scratch's past love life.
Sarcazmo47: "What are you waiting for?"
Dark Japheth: She looks at you. "Rebirth." and smiles.
Sarcazmo47: Skocion smiles. "Doesn't that have some unplesant prerequisites?"
Dark Japheth: Scratch- "Like being dead? Yeah."
Sarcazmo47: Skocion nods.
Sarcazmo47: "Whose rebirth are you waiting for?"
Dark Japheth: The woman smiles- "Mine. I'm dead, Skocion. You know of the cycle of reincarnation, right?"
Dark Japheth: "I'm waiting for a new body. My memories will be suppressed, I'll live through my life, and then I'll die, and come back here. With the memories of a new lifetime."
Sarcazmo47: "I've heard it mentioned."
Sarcazmo47: "How long have you been waiting?"
Dark Japheth: "Ten years. I wanted to enjoy Heaven this time. And visit the Dome." She looks at Scratch, who blushe a little.
Dark Japheth: Scratch is lighting a cigarette. "So how is the dome holding up? Well?"
Dark Japheth: Her- "Its still cracked, a little bit. But no, they've left it there."
Dark Japheth: Scratch- "I was sure they'd have destroyed it by now. Huh. Goes to show you what I know."
Sarcazmo47: Knowledge Religion? Or Astrology?
Dark Japheth: Both.
*OnlineHost*: Sarcazmo47 rolled 2 20-sided dice: 18 8
Dark Japheth: No. Clue.
Sarcazmo47: 29, 18.
Dark Japheth: Assuming its in that order.
Sarcazmo47: No, it's reversed. >.>
Dark Japheth: A voice is heard rumbling.... its indescribably loud.
Dark Japheth: And rings through the small chamber.
Dark Japheth: "VISITING TIME IS OVER."
Dark Japheth: "GO HOME, CHILD OF LIGHT." and the woman vanishes.
Dark Japheth: Meanwhile, Scratch looks up at the roof. "Thanks. Thanks a lot."
Sarcazmo47: Skocion looks around. "How rude."
Dark Japheth: "Indescribably."
Sarcazmo47: "Who the hell is that?"
Dark Japheth: "Why didn't he throw you out, though?" He has a look of puzzle on his face.
Sarcazmo47: "He probably doesn't like me."
Dark Japheth: "He doesn't like anyone, I think sometimes."
Sarcazmo47: He shrugs, and presumes it was Tiyrael because it's too obvious to think it's anyone else.
Dark Japheth: He sighs. "I missed that girl. Anyway, I see you are wearing my hand."
Sarcazmo47: "Ah. Yes."
Dark Japheth: (Incorrect.)
Sarcazmo47: "And it quite a bit of trouble to get it, too."
Dark Japheth: (You think that a god cannot delegate?)
Dark Japheth: "I am aware. I'm surprised the tree didn't attack you."
Sarcazmo47: "Oh, it tried to hang me."
Sarcazmo47: "Or did you mean the large one?"
Sarcazmo47: He calls it large the way you might call the ocean wet.
Dark Japheth: "The one that tried to hang you."
Sarcazmo47: "What about it?"
Dark Japheth: "The Rakshasa had a powerful spell put on it. To animate it, bring it to life, and then beat you within an inch of your life."
Dark Japheth: "Then throw you down the well, until you drowned in the blood."
Sarcazmo47: "....so why didn't it?"
Dark Japheth: He smiles at you, and takes a drag on his cigarette. "Here's where you say 'Thanks, Scratch. You really do look out for me sometimes.' And maybe a 'I wonder where I'd be without you.' is in order."
Sarcazmo47: Skocion makes a buzzing noise. "I love it how you tell me about these things beforehand."
Sarcazmo47: "And apparently, without you, I'd be dead in a hole."
Dark Japheth: "If I told you about it beforehand..."
Dark Japheth: "There would be no excitement, no adventure."
Sarcazmo47: "Well. Thank you ever so much for looking out for my sense of adventure."
Dark Japheth: "It would be 'Mmm, Scratch Tells Skocion the Story of What Skocion Should Do and Fixes All His Problems with a Wave of His Hand.' Thats pretty boring."
Dark Japheth: "You are very welcome."
Sarcazmo47: Then he grunts. "Thanks for saving my ass, then."
Dark Japheth: "Any time."
Dark Japheth: "There are some people in this world who have forsaken adventure, but are still capable of it."
Sarcazmo47: He blinks a few times. "So....now that I've got this thing.....what can be done with it?" He starts drumming his new fingers on the table.
Dark Japheth: He looks at you. "Haven't I already told you?"
Sarcazmo47: "You did. Vaguely. How can I use it fully, though?"
Dark Japheth: "It is razor sharp on the edges. Its powerful, and can freeze things at a touch."
Dark Japheth: He smiles, and begins explaining many details in arcane. Its in Common, its just that he goes over physics which make absolutely no sense to you.
Sarcazmo47: Well, maybe a little.
Dark Japheth: He goes on in this techie speak, almost (magic speak, rather), for quite some time.
Sarcazmo47: Skocion actually waits it out.
Sarcazmo47: Hearing all, absorbing none.
Dark Japheth: Once he's done, he smiles. "If you can do those things, the rest should be pretty easy."
Sarcazmo47: "Can't you just put it in my head? Or something easier?"
Dark Japheth: "I could, a long time ago."
Sarcazmo47: He shakes his head. "I try to keep up on what's published, but I'm no wizard, and that's that."
Dark Japheth: "Yeah. You'll have to rely on intuition."
Dark Japheth: "Its guided you well thus far, hasn't it?"
Sarcazmo47: Skocion shrugs. "I guess we'll see, won't we?"
Dark Japheth: "We will."
Sarcazmo47: And that's that. Skocion goes back to real dreams.
Dark Japheth: "Anyway, idle hands do only the devils work. What are you doing next?"
Dark Japheth: Aww. :P
Sarcazmo47: Oh, the irony.
Sarcazmo47: And I think it's bedtime.
AndrewRogue: The sick need rest.
Sarcazmo47: Indeed.
AndrewRogue: So 'night.
Sarcazmo47: Not to mention work tomorrow.
AndrewRogue: Indeed.
Sarcazmo47: Mmm....yaoi....
Sarcazmo47: It's going to happen.
Sarcazmo47: Might as well give in.
AndrewRogue: <_<
Sarcazmo47: </creepy>
AndrewRogue: *cries*
Dark Japheth: lol.
AndrewRogue: Just once I want a character with a normal sex life.
Sarcazmo47: Skocion has a normal sex life.
Dark Japheth: AndrewRogue: Just once I want a normal sex life.
Sarcazmo47: Hell, his sex life is the normalest part of his life.
Dark Japheth: Heh
AndrewRogue: Cute Gorth.
Dark Japheth: I know.
Dark Japheth: I'm so adorable.
Dark Japheth: DON'T YOU WANT TO FUCK ME.
Sarcazmo47: ...
Sarcazmo47: No.
AndrewRogue: ...uh.
AndrewRogue: That's Soppy's job I think.
Dark Japheth: lmao
Dark Japheth: Thoughts on session?
AndrewRogue: A shame Quekalin died. Quekalin-Hunter-Lea-Aria-Bandon would have been the coolest relationship chain ever.
AndrewRogue: And... uh... somehow we beat a creature we probably shouldn't have. We kick ass ^_^
Dark Japheth: Vile points.
Dark Japheth: :P
Sarcazmo47: And being generally badas.
Sarcazmo47: That helps too.
Dark Japheth: Mostly the badass.
AndrewRogue: Indeed. AIM responded to badassness tonight.
Sarcazmo47: The horrible part is that it didn't even seriously hurt us.
Sarcazmo47: I think you toned down its DR, though.
Dark Japheth: The lesson this session taught us-
Dark Japheth: 3.0 monsters suck
Sarcazmo47: 3.0 Rakhassa have DR 20/+3
Dark Japheth: I know.
Dark Japheth: But.
Sarcazmo47: 3.5 Rakhassa have DR 15/Good
Dark Japheth: Ok, the lesson this session taught us-
Dark Japheth: Rakshasa suck without class levels
AndrewRogue: Good+Piercing
Sarcazmo47: Heh.
Sarcazmo47: And SR 27, or Spell Immunity, depending on your choice.
AndrewRogue: Wow... in both cases we were fucked if you used actual DR.
Dark Japheth: No, I like the 3.0 weakness the Rakshasa have.
Adm H Sopko: Quekalin-Hunter-Lea-Aria-Bandon... how?
Dark Japheth: No, you would just *have* to stun it.
Dark Japheth: Then Coup de Grace.
AndrewRogue: Stun don't allow CdG
Dark Japheth: Right
Dark Japheth: ok
Dark Japheth: So stun it
AndrewRogue: Paralyze does, but that's a few levels off.
Dark Japheth: Then have both people grab a rope
Dark Japheth: and tie him up.
Adm H Sopko: How does that... work? Quek goes after Lea and Aria?
Dark Japheth: No
Adm H Sopko: You know
Dark Japheth: Queklain would fight Aria and Lea for Hunter.
Dark Japheth: :P
AndrewRogue: *nods sagely*
Adm H Sopko: Ew
Dark Japheth: In retrospect, he's the most gay character I've ever played.
Dark Japheth: He drank blood, he was evil, he did things with his tongue that no man should be able to do
Sarcazmo47: Yep.
Dark Japheth: And gay people do all those things
Adm H Sopko: ... thats a turnon for the ladies
Dark Japheth: Yes, yes it is
Dark Japheth: Women like gay guys
AndrewRogue: I almost fucking spit water all over my computer laughing so hard you ass hole.
Dark Japheth: Look at how many people loved Ricky Martin.
Adm H Sopko: Heh
AndrewRogue: AND ITS TRUE.
Adm H Sopko: And Gene Simmons from KISS
Dark Japheth: Do not bring in Gene Simmons.
Dark Japheth: he had a tongue on him, yeah
Dark Japheth: But he could not use said tongue to grapple people.
Dark Japheth: And wrap them up.
Adm H Sopko: He drank blood
Sarcazmo47: I don't NEED instructions to know how to ROCK!
Adm H Sopko: Technically evil too
Sarcazmo47: Wait!
Adm H Sopko: He's a Knight in Satan's Service
Sarcazmo47: Everyone knows that pteradactyls can't stand the wail of a guitar!
AndrewRogue: So... Quekalin = Gene Simmons?
AndrewRogue: And XD
Dark Japheth: Yes, but did he give a rose to a member of the band?
Adm H Sopko: KISS SAVES SANTA
Dark Japheth: Lmao
AndrewRogue: Kirk rocks.
AndrewRogue: One of the better Family Guy references.
Dark Japheth: Yes
Dark Japheth: Dude, that should be a real special
Dark Japheth: I'd totally watch it
Adm H Sopko: Merry Christmas to all and to all shut the hell up
AndrewRogue: So would I <_<
Sarcazmo47: Anyway.
Sarcazmo47: Gorth, your PCs are really cool.
Sarcazmo47: I just thought I'd give you the heads up.
Dark Japheth: You know those Germans, if you don't join the party, they come get you.
Dark Japheth: Thank you.
Dark Japheth: :P
Sarcazmo47: And Soppy, sorry for ignoring your guy when he wandered by.
Sarcazmo47: But...I really couldn't come up with a good reason to go running after him.
Adm H Sopko: Meh
Adm H Sopko: No worries
Adm H Sopko: You'll see him again.
AndrewRogue: Heh.
Dark Japheth: Thats forboding.
Adm H Sopko: Or maybe not. He gets around
Sarcazmo47: ...
AndrewRogue: Can he ninja in the night?
Sarcazmo47: Or maybe during the day?
Adm H Sopko: Perhaps
Sarcazmo47: You're NPCing for Gorth?
Adm H Sopko: Yup
Adm H Sopko: Multi-purpose use
Sarcazmo47: Badass.
Adm H Sopko: Many NPCs will be played by me
Dark Japheth: It makes my job *infinitely* easier
AndrewRogue: That is ingenious.
Sarcazmo47: I have the oddest feeling I'm going to get mugged and robbed of Scratch's finger.
Adm H Sopko: Heh
AndrewRogue: XD
AndrewRogue: Vengence at last! <_<
Dark Japheth: Finger? :P
Adm H Sopko: Like when Hunter was mugged and robbed by Kirk NPCing the Marquis
Adm H Sopko: The Marquis stole the Hunter finger in Hunter's possession
Adm H Sopko: No...
Adm H Sopko: The rose
Adm H Sopko: Hunter had the rose
Dark Japheth: I still don't see how that became so damn important.
Adm H Sopko: Alex
Adm H Sopko: S
Adm H Sopko: 'all I can tell so far
AndrewRogue: Yeah. Aria had the finger. <_< It was Hunter's Rose/Badge/Pouch in general.
AndrewRogue: The rose is Flaurous!
AndrewRogue: Using it near Hummer Girl will break Sahky's hold over her!
Adm H Sopko: Heh
AndrewRogue: Okay. Now I'm genuinely out of ways to draw SH-Hummer Plotline parallels.
Sarcazmo47: Anyhoo. Yeah, Kirk screwed over the party big time. That's how we met!
Adm H Sopko: Yup
Dark Japheth: I know! I read the logs.
Adm H Sopko: Boy did I hate you back then<G>
AndrewRogue: XD
Sarcazmo47: Yeah.
Sarcazmo47: *nostalgic*
Dark Japheth: Just think
AndrewRogue: Wow... its actually pretty funny to remember those logs.
Dark Japheth: Now the nostalgia returns. :P
Adm H Sopko: You know...
Adm H Sopko: Alex has been setting precedents lately
Sarcazmo47: He has
Sarcazmo47: ?
Adm H Sopko: There is no reason Queklain can't come back
Adm H Sopko: It'd surely fuck up the works even moreso than it already is
AndrewRogue: Oh. The ressurection thing.
Adm H Sopko: OR
Adm H Sopko: There is no reason to believe he died to begin with!
Adm H Sopko: It could have been a dream!
AndrewRogue: This whole thing could be a dream.
AndrewRogue: In which case, I'm driving to Indiana and kicking his ass.
Adm H Sopko: If it is, I'm beating the shit out of Alex
AndrewRogue: Meet ya there ^_^
Dark Japheth: Dude.
Dark Japheth: Fuck you both. I had that called firt.
Dark Japheth: first.
Dark Japheth: I swore to him one day that if I ever met him
Dark Japheth: I'd say hi by punching him in the face
AndrewRogue: XD
Adm H Sopko: HEH
AndrewRogue: Remind me NOT to meet with you Gorth ^_~
Dark Japheth: Are you playing a Sense Motive Whore?
Dark Japheth: By the way
Dark Japheth: This does *not* go in the log.
Dark Japheth: :P
AndrewRogue: ...uh.
Dark Japheth: The answer to that is *no*
AndrewRogue: And screw you. I've come up with a way to remember to trim logs <_<
Sarcazmo47: ...
Sarcazmo47: What way is that?
Sarcazmo47: Horrible guilt?
Adm H Sopko: ::Stays clear of that one::
Dark Japheth: Well, post them, then when someone cries, you say "Oh yeah! I remember!
AndrewRogue: By typing Session23(TRIM) next to it.
AndrewRogue: I have to transfer the log to Word Perfect. Its impossible for me to be that stupid.
AndrewRogue: <_<
Dark Japheth: Not impossible, once in a while, though, you'll get a 1 on your int check
Dark Japheth: happens to everyone once in a while.
*OnlineHost*: AndrewRogue rolled 1 20-sided die: 11
AndrewRogue: I'm good.
AndrewRogue: But, uh, yeah. It happened yesterday.
Dark Japheth: Why is "Girls Fall You Die" taken out of the logs? *cries*
Dark Japheth: It was my greatest moment!
Dark Japheth: And the only time Zao appeared!
AndrewRogue: ...it is?
Dark Japheth: Its a borked link
AndrewRogue: ...
Sarcazmo47: OH!
AndrewRogue: ?
Adm H Sopko: Will Zao be making a second? Or is he a onehit wonder like Blaine?
Dark Japheth: I don't know.
Dark Japheth: I've yet to be invited to a second session.
Adm H Sopko: Blaine was good for none other than AWWWWWwhosafluffybundalouve!
Dark Japheth: Sometimes, Soppy is like "Hmm. We are AND'ing, and we want to runs a game, alex wants to runs a game, and I wanna see Zaolot because he's so CUUUTE!"
Sarcazmo47: *refrains from saying nasty things about Alex*
AndrewRogue: I know. That game has had issues with new people since I joined <_<
Dark Japheth: Uhh... sort of. Its had issues with bad RP since... the beginning. I sucked at first, I'm willing to admit it- I was pissed off, the world had changed, and basically I was whining
Dark Japheth: He was right to throw me out.
Adm H Sopko: ... ::Cries::
AndrewRogue: I should read that log one day.
AndrewRogue: I... uh... keep forgetting to erase its end.
Dark Japheth: You should also put up the one log I have a character in. :P
AndrewRogue: Fixing it now.
Dark Japheth: Actually, fuck apologies. If anything, I'm sorry I tried to play in this game and trust you to not fuck everything up by forcing us into your stupid scenarios and railroad us. Fuck you.
Dark Japheth: Man, I rock
Dark Japheth: I wasn't wrong, I just whined about it. Thats what I regret. :P
Adm H Sopko: Heh
AndrewRogue: Try it now, yo!
Dark Japheth: Yay!
AndrewRogue: It work?
Adm H Sopko: I weep internally for my RPing pride
AndrewRogue: ?
Dark Japheth: Yay it work
Dark Japheth: Why?
Adm H Sopko: Cause I'm a big part of AND
Adm H Sopko: Lots of the backstory I made up for Hunter was used in the overall metaplot
AndrewRogue: ...yeah, you are really.
Sarcazmo47: Yep.
Dark Japheth: You see
Dark Japheth: Alex will not admit to doing it
Adm H Sopko: And since my character is the only one now thats been there from the beginning, it's even moreso...
Dark Japheth: He does the same exact thing I do. :P
Dark Japheth: Except he never admits it. We both make references to the past, using logs, and then claim we've had it planned.
Dark Japheth: But he does things on whim, and then haphazardly stabs them into the plot.
Adm H Sopko: He admitted doing it with Melanie
Dark Japheth: Thats not a bad thing- hell, its my style- but he's also a DM who takes the amount of backstory you have, and makes it proportional.
Dark Japheth: Yeah, I know. :P
Dark Japheth: And with the Rose.
AndrewRogue: ... <_< *says nothing about backstory, for he has NONE in AND*
Adm H Sopko: Which means what, Gorth?
Adm H Sopko: Making backstory proportional, I mean
Dark Japheth: Alright.
AndrewRogue: *wants to hear this*
Dark Japheth: The Rose is the ULTIMATE symbol of angsty gothics.
Dark Japheth: ULTIMATE. You see, its beautiful, and its got thorns
Dark Japheth: So I think to myself.
Dark Japheth: "Hmm. I've got all the skills I need for the Diabolist prestige class."
Dark Japheth: "Hmmmmmmmm. I need something to make me not a Roll player. I need a craft!"
Dark Japheth: I thought about whittling. Like, I'd sit by the fire, and carve little figures of wood, and then throw em in the fire, never to be seen.
Dark Japheth: me- "...But i'm going to play the angstiest motherfucker in the world."
Dark Japheth: So I took Gemcraft. And said "Oooh, I make a crystal rose!"
Dark Japheth: Thats it. :P
Sarcazmo47: Ahh...the power of sleep.
Sarcazmo47: Night, kids.
Dark Japheth: Thankfully, ti cost 50 GP, which was how much I had left after all that.
Dark Japheth: Good night.
Sarcazmo47 has left the room.
AndrewRogue: Night.
