You have just entered room "DAOA Xtreme Volleyball."
AndrewRogue: ...
Dark Japheth: Hi.
Dark Japheth: Dude.
Sarcazmo47: Staci is on her way home.
AndrewRogue: That scores a resounding WTF from me.
Dark Japheth: That would be an AWESOME AWESOME fucking game.
AndrewRogue: I... suppose.
Sarcazmo47: Skocion spikes it to Krist!
Dark Japheth: Sakhmet and Luthien in a team, in bikinis, against their hot children- Arwen, and... uhh... hell, for fun, we'll include JEZEBETH
Dark Japheth: But... I'm willing to bet even Alex wouldn't remember Jezebeth
Dark Japheth: Except as a child of Sarah Cinlach, the ruler of Perenolde.
AndrewRogue: Odd note- I have a friend who bought teh actual game for its volleyball <_<
Dark Japheth: but she was a paladin, once! An old PC.
Dark Japheth: Lol
Dark Japheth: Reall
Dark Japheth: y
AndrewRogue: I believed him <_<
Dark Japheth: Is he gay? Or is she a straight chick?
AndrewRogue: >_>
AndrewRogue: He's a LIAR!
Dark Japheth: Otherwise, I am inclined to believe that they lied to you
coughingpuppy has entered the room.
coughingpuppy: Yaaaaaaaaaaaaay! *does a game dance*
AndrewRogue: *watches*
Sarcazmo47: Do I need to be a jealous boyfriend?
Sarcazmo47: *looms*
AndrewRogue: Drat, and being moderately taller than me, you can loom.
Sarcazmo47: *get his plastic bat*
coughingpuppy: It's the Rakoth bat!
AndrewRogue: Grr... I'll get Soppy's Hockey Stick!
coughingpuppy: I'll get...my epee! For the hell of it!
AndrewRogue: I think she's winning. <_<
coughingpuppy: HAHAHA!
Dark Japheth: Epee!
Dark Japheth: GLEE
Sarcazmo47: She could go get her punch daggers, too.
coughingpuppy: Not to be confused with an epee pen.
Dark Japheth: And I'll go get my copy of the Satanic Bible and cast inflict moderate wounds!
Sarcazmo47: My girlfriend has punch daggers. :-D
coughingpuppy: I love my punch daggers. I wish I knew where they'd gotten to.
Dark Japheth: That's pretty sexy.
Dark Japheth: Punch daggers = awesome.
AndrewRogue: I want punch daggers.
Dark Japheth: I have a sword cane, if thats pretty cool.
Dark Japheth: >.>
coughingpuppy: Whoa, that is cool.
AndrewRogue: Indeed.
coughingpuppy: I have a longbow, too, but I can't use it, sadly, because there aren't ranges around here and the university got mad at me when I brought it to school...
Dark Japheth: That means you must use said longbow upon the people who are inhibiting you from using the longbow.
Dark Japheth: Two problems solved with one arrow.
coughingpuppy: ...Hm....
coughingpuppy: Then I could bring my punch daggers to school too!
AndrewRogue: Yay!
Dark Japheth: INdeed.
AndrewRogue: I need a weapon so I can off my upcoming room mate <_<
coughingpuppy: Your roommate might not be that bad...
coughingpuppy: I won't tell you my roommate horror stories.
AndrewRogue: Never hurts to be prepared ^_^
coughingpuppy: Kirk's roommate had sex with his girlfriend with Kirk in the room, apparently. They thought he was asleep.
Dark Japheth: I can beat any roommate stories.
AndrewRogue: *chuckles*
Dark Japheth: In fact
Dark Japheth: Mike slept with his girlfriend with me in the room, and then realized I was reading my bible, and asked if I'd say a prayer before he fucked her so god would approve.
AndrewRogue: ...
Dark Japheth: me- "...no." I left. He asked me to stay. I got a creeped out face, went online, and ran a game of D&D.
Dark Japheth: Hooha.
AndrewRogue: *chuckle*
Dark Japheth: But!
Dark Japheth: Best yet!
Dark Japheth: Sean comes home with a prescription of Vidadin
Dark Japheth: *vicadin
Dark Japheth: He is happy, and selling said vicadin to various people in the apartment
Sarcazmo47: Oh, that's all we need to know right there.
Dark Japheth: And at work
Dark Japheth: I abstain because at the time, I was drug free!
Dark Japheth: One day
Dark Japheth: he comes home from work.
Dark Japheth: His vicadin is missing
Dark Japheth: He calls everyone to the apartment and has us all sit in the room,.
Dark Japheth: We all do. And mike comes in with his nose bleeding like HELL and smiling like he's just gotten GOD to give him head.
Dark Japheth: I smiled, and went online.
Dark Japheth: Anyway.
Dark Japheth: Who wants a recap?
coughingpuppy: Do we need one?
Sarcazmo47: I had a dream sequence.
Sarcazmo47: It was cool.
Dark Japheth: I personally do. You guys had me run a game while high last time, and therefore, I haven't the slightest clue what transpired. IIRC, you met niniel, she said hello, and Kirk had a dream sequence
Dark Japheth: yeah
AndrewRogue: Hrmm... that about sums it up. Her and Landis flew off a bit to chat too.
Dark Japheth: OH RIGHT
Dark Japheth: Ok
Dark Japheth: Makes sense
Dark Japheth: So we's recapped, yes?
AndrewRogue: Then we all went to sleep.
AndrewRogue: And I learned a new poem.
Dark Japheth: What?
Dark Japheth: AND NOW
Dark Japheth: I have been happy and all that. Does anyone know where chrome is?
AndrewRogue: *shakes head*
coughingpuppy: No idea.
Dark Japheth: Ten minutes we wait.
AndrewRogue: *kicks back with Star Ocean 2*
Sarcazmo47: Curiosity, Gorth.
Dark Japheth: What sort of curiosity shall I explain?
Dark Japheth: Or we can play the "Ignore Gorth until actual game begins" game.
Dark Japheth: *shrug*
AndrewRogue: Well, I'm here ^_^
Sarcazmo47: I never ignore you.
Sarcazmo47: I'm in the middle of sending you the magazine in question.
coughingpuppy: No, because your girlfriend tells you he's talking. :-P
Sarcazmo47: Andrew, you subscribe to Dragon magazine, right?
AndrewRogue: I buy it. Should subscribe here sometime <_<
Sarcazmo47: AH.
Dark Japheth: Ah, see, I don't buy them
Sarcazmo47: Me either.
Dark Japheth: I wait until someone... say... Gil... wants something from them
Sarcazmo47: I download them.
Dark Japheth: I smile, and laugh, and he says "Come on, Gorth. Let me."
AndrewRogue: But yeah. I basically got every issue since 3.0
Dark Japheth: Me- "Type the page up completely."
Dark Japheth: Him- "It'll take forever!"
AndrewRogue: HAH!
Dark Japheth: Me- "If you want it, its worth typing up, no?"
AndrewRogue: I'VE DONE THAT!
Dark Japheth: Gil does so...
Sarcazmo47: Oh, I don't want anything in this book. At least, not as it appears in this book.
Sarcazmo47: ;-)
Dark Japheth: and then I smile and fucking laugh, don't even read it, and tell him no
AndrewRogue: *giggles*
Dark Japheth: I fall back on several excuses without even having to read it
Dark Japheth: "I don't think that the flavor fits in my game."
Dark Japheth: "Its a little high powered. Can we lower the BAB of it?"
Dark Japheth: Or "That feat just flat out isn't fair. If you really want it, build a 10 level prestige class around it. Its suitable as an ability for a 10th level prestige class."
Chromeus18 has entered the room.
Dark Japheth: CHROMEY
Dark Japheth: Right on frickin time, too
Dark Japheth: Thats downright amazing man
Sarcazmo47: Holy shit.
Chromeus18: aww, i wanted to run Chrysalis
Sarcazmo47: You can do both,
Sarcazmo47: Pansy.
Chromeus18: this is the last night i'm on, since the weather channel has told me i will die tomorrow.
AndrewRogue: Aww...
Chromeus18: and like the dumbass i am, i agreed to run lights for a show this weekend, in the middle of a hurricane.
Dark Japheth: Are... you......insane?
Dark Japheth: And if you wanna run chrysalis... do so
coughingpuppy: ...
Chromeus18: not enough people on anyways
Dark Japheth: I will be running this game, talking to Jasmine, playing in your game, and probably spending time playing ff6 during lulls in activity
Dark Japheth: As you wish. *nods*
AndrewRogue: YAY! FF6!
Chromeus18: if popi miraculously shows up, i'm goin though
Dark Japheth: Go for it.
Chromeus18: blah, gotta explain to misty why i'm risking my life for $450 this weekend.
Chromeus18: brb in a sec
Sarcazmo47: Shit, $450?
Sarcazmo47: I'd do it.
Sarcazmo47: Okay.
Sarcazmo47: Gorth needs a recap?
coughingpuppy: I think at this point I would sell my soul for $450.
Chromeus18: normally $150, but i'm getting paid x3 because we're being hurricaned
Sarcazmo47: What do you have to do?
Dark Japheth: Uhhh, if you want, go for it.
Chromeus18: running lights for a show
Sarcazmo47: Okay.
Sarcazmo47: We were given a quest by Shale
Dark Japheth: And I'd sell my soul for a candy bar and a pack of cigarettes.
Sarcazmo47: We slept a night later.
Dark Japheth: But knowing the devil, I'd get no glass of milk, or a lighter.
Chromeus18: if nothing else, i can drink myself stupid, and die in peace.
Sarcazmo47: While sleeping, we were intorduced to the crazy NPC harpy and were attacked by a monster.
Sarcazmo47: Deciding we didn't want to stick around and get asked lots of questions, we made a break for the exit.
Chromeus18: Dedogoni was smitten
Sarcazmo47: We rode hard and made camp.
Sarcazmo47: Skocion looked after the horses to repay them for how hard he's working them.
Sarcazmo47: Then he had a Dream Sequence (tm)
Sarcazmo47: Landus and whatsername went for a romantic flight in the woods.
Sarcazmo47: We can assume they made out and were nearly killed by a Satan-Posessed camp counselor.
Sarcazmo47: Krist decided to make with the watch-keeping.
Sarcazmo47: That's it, I think.
Chromeus18: yesh
AndrewRogue: I'd say
coughingpuppy: Oh, yeah, and Niniel was being abnormally quiet when she came back.
Dark Japheth: and was limping
coughingpuppy: Right.
Dark Japheth: anyway, are we ready to start?
coughingpuppy: Yep!
Dark Japheth: Then... lets.... ~-~-~BEGIN~-~-~
Dark Japheth: You awaken, Niniel sitting by the fire, quietly, holding out a stick with a large chunk of meat on it. Turning it, slowly, making sure its absolutely perfect.
Chromeus18: *puts on Krist flippers*
AndrewRogue: *stretches out before flipping onto his feet, extending his wings*
coughingpuppy: Riannon wakes up and rubs at an eye, looking over at Brom, who is probably pretty interested in the meat.
Dark Japheth: "Good morning." Niniel chimes. "I've worked on breakfast. Sausage, eggs, and some toast. The toast is a little burned, though." She gestures to about five or six plates she's filled.
coughingpuppy: "Huh. Hey, I'm not gonna complain."
Chromeus18: Krist steps out of his tent, wrapped in his blankey as usual.
AndrewRogue: *raises an eyebrow* "Eh heh... plesant to wake to an actual breakfast."
Chromeus18: "Quite a breakfast."
Dark Japheth: "Thank you. I try."
Sarcazmo47: Skocion actually wakes up by sniffing the air and, without opening his eyes, sort of snakes his way over to the food.
Dark Japheth: "Good morning, Skocion. You kept... laughing... in your sleep. PLeasant dreams?"
Sarcazmo47: He doesn't speak until he's already eaten.
Sarcazmo47: "Very."
AndrewRogue: "Good breakfast boss. Eggs, sasauge, toast..." *picks up his plate and begins devouring it quickly*
coughingpuppy: "It was kinda weird, Skocion, to tell you the truth." Riannon eats with an appetite that's kind of surprising.
Chromeus18: *eats very slowly, almost picking at it*
Sarcazmo47: "What, you've never heard anyone talk in their sleep before?"
Sarcazmo47: He grins as he says it.
Dark Japheth: "I've heard people talk. I've heard many people scream, or weep, or cry. I've seen them die in their sleep. But never laugh."
Dark Japheth: She is solemn, and takes a bite off of some jerky.
coughingpuppy: Riannon was about to answer Skocion, but instead looks at Niniel rather strangely and goes back to the food, offering Brom some sausage.
Sarcazmo47: He laughs, again. "Those are all the same thing, Niniel."
Chromeus18: is Niniel eating what she cooked? :P
Dark Japheth: "Are they."
Dark Japheth: She has, yes. She only made herself eggs, though, and jerky.
Dark Japheth: (low carb diets, you know.)
Sarcazmo47: Skocion nods, still grinning, but does not elaborate.
Chromeus18: (*casts Create Carbs!*)
Chromeus18: Krist finishes his plate, and packs his tent up preemptively.
Dark Japheth: "I think you are wrong, but my father might have been incorrect in what he had taught me. Who knows?" She smiles.
Sarcazmo47: Skocion giggles a little. "Certainly not me. Well, the sun is almost up. I think it's time we got moving.
Dark Japheth: "Lets pack up and be off, then." She begins packing her things, and hops onto her horse.
Sarcazmo47: "
coughingpuppy: "Somebody's cheerful."
coughingpuppy: Riannon gets up once the badger has finished the last of the sausage and rolls her belongings into a tight pack, shouldering it and waiting for the others to mount their horses.
AndrewRogue: "All right. Eh heh... by the way, Krist, didn't you want to hear if I had any more poems in my sleep? I don't want you tearing me out for forgettin' another."
Sarcazmo47: Skocion also packs himself efficiently and mounts up on his horse with a rapidity bordering on impatience.
Chromeus18: "Of course, Landus." *pulls out the napkin of poetry*
AndrewRogue: *as he talks he climbs onto a horse, not really having many belongings* "It doesn't think. It doesn't feel. It doesn't laugh or cry. All it does from Dusk till dawn is make the soldiers die."
coughingpuppy: "Sounds more like a riddle to me than a poem, actually."
Chromeus18: *jots it down*
Chromeus18: ("What is George Clooney?")
AndrewRogue: *shrugs* "Maybe. Its kinda catchy though. I keep this up, I should make a career outta it."
coughingpuppy: Riannon grins. "Be easier than your current one, what with this Rivas Kul stuff."
Chromeus18: *hoppity hops onto his horse* "I've got it."
Chromeus18: "Let me know if you have anymore, I'll add them."
AndrewRogue: "No problem Froggy. I don't know why you want them though."
coughingpuppy: "Our Krist's a cultured fellow, don't you know."
Chromeus18: Krist croaks LOUDLY at that comment
coughingpuppy: She gives him a wink to show she was just teasing.
Chromeus18: "Indeed."
Dark Japheth: "If you wish to sculpt me, you can. But not until you get this shit cleared with Bloodarch."
Sarcazmo47: Skocion laughs. "Don't mock the artist, children. He'll likely have a more enduring legacy than any of the rest of us."
AndrewRogue: *laughs loudly* "You got a point there boss."
coughingpuppy: "Never said he wouldn't. He'll pave the way for frogmen worldwide."
Dark Japheth: *snickers*
Dark Japheth: Fast forward until tonight, when you have to pick shifts again?
Sarcazmo47: Sounds like a plan.
AndrewRogue: Go ahead
Chromeus18: Krist blinks, and smiles.
Chromeus18: FF
Dark Japheth: FWOOSH
Dark Japheth: Niniel smiles. "I'll take fourth shift."
Sarcazmo47: C'mon, guys. GOOD parties don't get along this well.
AndrewRogue: *shrugs* "Eh heh... I'll take third."
Sarcazmo47: Skocion laughs. "I'll go first."
coughingpuppy: Riannon glances at Krist. "You want second?"
Chromeus18: Krist blinks. "You intend to keep watch Skocion?"
AndrewRogue: "Good choice their boss."
AndrewRogue: (BRB)
Sarcazmo47: "Of course." He points to his ear. "I have very sensative hearing."
Sarcazmo47: Then he grins.
Chromeus18: "I'll take second, I suppose."
coughingpuppy: "I can go last."
Sarcazmo47: Skocion nods. "Then, get to sleep, all of you. The morning will be here in a hurry."
coughingpuppy: Riannon sleeps.
Dark Japheth: Skocion, Krist, Landus, Niniel
*OnlineHost*: Dark Japheth rolled 1 4-sided die: 2
*OnlineHost*: Dark Japheth rolled 1 100-sided die: 14
Dark Japheth: *grins*
Dark Japheth: Alrighty.
Dark Japheth: First off
Dark Japheth: Skocion... listen check.
*OnlineHost*: Sarcazmo47 rolled 1 20-sided die: 13
Sarcazmo47: 14.
*OnlineHost*: Chromeus18 rolled 1 20-sided die: 18
Sarcazmo47: Skocion calls out in a loud voice, "Greetings, travelers!"
AndrewRogue: (Should us sleepy people make listen checks to potentially awaken?)
Dark Japheth: The two grizzled old travelers look to you, and walk over. "Mind if we share your fire, sir?" They wave their hands.
Chromeus18: (if you're asleep, a listen check won't help much :P)
Dark Japheth: Indeed.
Dark Japheth: Take one, if you will- -20 or so on checks.
Sarcazmo47: Skocion waves back and speaks, "Of course!"
AndrewRogue: (Eh, I'll suffice to sleep. Just asking. ^_^)
Dark Japheth: They come down, and sit by the fire. "Good evening, sir. We are simple travelers headed down the road to the academy of Aydindril."
Sarcazmo47: "Welcome to our humble camp, friends."
Dark Japheth: "It is a pleasure to be seated amongst those who are not deadly."
Sarcazmo47: Skocion laughs. "Only to those threatened by a large meal. Are you hungry?"
Dark Japheth: "No, we are alright. Quite satiated."
Sarcazmo47: "Excellent. Do you seek succor for the night? I'm afraid our paths diverge and we are on an errand of some urgency, or I would offer to accompany you, but we would be happy to offer what amenities we have.
Sarcazmo47: "
Dark Japheth: "No, we shall be alright. I thank you for your offer of a meal."
Sarcazmo47: "Then I wish you luck on your travels, friends. If you ever travel to the city of Tamerand, seek out the Baron Skocion Atrox. I have never seen Aydindril, and I have heard it is wonderous."
Dark Japheth: "We certainly shall, traveler. We were lucky to have met you."
Dark Japheth: The men smile, and wave.
Sarcazmo47: "And I, as well. Well met, travelers."
Dark Japheth: And continue on their dark journey through the night.
Dark Japheth: The rest of Skocion's shift passes uneventfully.
Dark Japheth: Krists shift...
Dark Japheth: Passes by uneventfully
Dark Japheth: EXCEPT FOR THE SPOT CHECK I ASK YOU TO MAKE.
Dark Japheth: MAKE SPOT.
*OnlineHost*: Chromeus18 rolled 1 20-sided die: 8
Chromeus18: whoo, 13
Dark Japheth: Nothing happens.
Chromeus18: does anything try to devour my face?
Sarcazmo47: *dies laughing*
Dark Japheth: Landus, during your shift, Niniel wakes up, and spends much of the night sitting across the fire, staring into it. Occasionally mumbling words.
Dark Japheth: Nothing happens at all.
AndrewRogue: Yay!
Dark Japheth: And then she stays up for her own shift, but does not act helpfully and point out that yours is over.
Dark Japheth: Until the sun rises.
Chromeus18: *awakens to the morning breeze blowing on his froggish balls*
Sarcazmo47: Skocion is awake first, this time.
Chromeus18: (and i smash my face into my desk)
coughingpuppy: Riannon's awake pretty quickly too, since she got a full night's sleep.
Sarcazmo47: He has, in fact, set out a breakfast for everyone, though it's nothing like what was offered yesterday.
Dark Japheth: Heh
Sarcazmo47: It is cold and obviously meant to be eaten while on the move.
AndrewRogue: *stetches out and does his morning exercises in brief. Its not like double shifts killed anyone*
Chromeus18: Krist breaks down his tent, and takes the unheated pop tart of a breakfast :P
Dark Japheth: "I came up with the answer to your riddle, Landus."
AndrewRogue: "Is that what you were working out over the fire?"
Dark Japheth: "A Golem. Specifically, my guess is the fleshy golems used in the war of Cunar and Gelendar against Asgard."
Dark Japheth: "As they are the only golems used en masse for warfare. Ever."
Dark Japheth: She smiles, and says nothing.
Sarcazmo47: Knowledge Arcana!
coughingpuppy: Riannon rolls up her pack and stands waiting for the others, munching on the food and listening to the others.
*OnlineHost*: Sarcazmo47 rolled 1 20-sided die: 1
Sarcazmo47: Nope.
AndrewRogue: "A fleshy golem? Eh heh... a good answer I suppose. Not clever in the way of riddles, but a good answer I guess."
Sarcazmo47: "I've never heard of such a thing."
Chromeus18: "That sounds like a rather basic answer."
AndrewRogue: *tightens his headband and readjusts it on his brow*
Sarcazmo47: "Come come. We can talk as we ride." Suiting actions to words, he gets mounted up.
Chromeus18: "Then again, maybe that's the ingenuity of it."
Dark Japheth: "I don't know. I think it was used to describe someone or something. And thus, it isn't fair."
Dark Japheth: *mounts up, and rides*
AndrewRogue: "Right boss." *mounts up*
Chromeus18: *lather rinse repeat*
Dark Japheth: This day, about an hour before sundown, the party encounters a small town. At the gates are two soldiers, stopping everyone who comes in to town.
AndrewRogue: "Hey boss, we're coming up on a town. Couple guards at the gate stopping folks."
Chromeus18: (*swallows his 20 G's of crack cocaine*)
Sarcazmo47: Skocion draws his horse in and pulls out his passport.
Sarcazmo47: Then slowly walks his horse up to the gate, following Landus's lead.
Chromeus18: (snort my ass, junkies!)
Dark Japheth: The two guards, you notice, are both female. And both are fair of skin, and beautiful of face.
Chromeus18: *reaches into his blanket, and pulls his passport out, following Skocion's lead*
Dark Japheth: Though each has been slightly marred- by an identical scar running down the right side of their cheek. Niniel is not stopped or asked for a passport.
coughingpuppy: Riannon regards them strangely.
Chromeus18: Krist shows his passport, and passes on, unless stopped.
AndrewRogue: *looks at them oddly as he shows his own passport*
coughingpuppy: She'll show them her passport too.
Sarcazmo47: Skocion does not appear to give them particular attention.
Dark Japheth: The two women look at Skocion. "Passports?" And they hold out their hands, the other hand on their long knives.
Dark Japheth: And of course
Dark Japheth: each of you gave out your passports long before my lagged out fucking chat had them ask you fro them
Dark Japheth: *twitches*
Dark Japheth: I call for a cigarette break. I will be back VERY shortly, this is seriously going to piss me off if the lag don't improve.
Sarcazmo47: Heh.
AndrewRogue: Be right back then
Dark Japheth: VERILY
AndrewRogue: Back
Chromeus18: (back, you lesbians!)
Chromeus18: (*casts Magic Circle against Lesbians*)
AndrewRogue: (That... strikes me as one hell of an image <_<)
Sarcazmo47: Hey, don't kick Staci out of the game!
Dark Japheth: (I use my magic circles against lesbians to keep them inside)
Dark Japheth: (and then use anticlothing shell)\
AndrewRogue: (*considers the implications of Kirk's statement*)
Dark Japheth: </perversion>
Dark Japheth: Anyway
Chromeus18: (you're awfully mean Kirk :P i only make fun of misty when lesbians hit on her)
Sarcazmo47: That's very true.
coughingpuppy: ((*sulk*))
Sarcazmo47: Tee hee!
Sarcazmo47: Anyhoo.
Sarcazmo47: Proceeding through the town of EVIL
Dark Japheth: This town is not, actually. There are more guards here than one should think necessary for a small town.
Dark Japheth: Though there are dark places, most people live quietly in their homes, and leer at you as you pass by them to find the stables. Or attempt to go on.
Sarcazmo47: Unless it is past nightfall.
AndrewRogue: *leaning over idly* "Hey Nin, you from around here?"
Chromeus18: it's dusk, i believe.
Sarcazmo47: DUSK'D
Sarcazmo47: Okay, then to the stables we go.
Chromeus18: "We should find a room, I suppose."
coughingpuppy: "People don't look too friendly. We ought to stay outside the town."
Sarcazmo47: Skocion stops, and looks at the rest of them.
Chromeus18: "You may like sleeping on broken twigs and hard dirt, Riannon, but I do not."
Chromeus18: *involuntary throat convulstion*
Dark Japheth: Niniel does not answer immediately, but smiles. "In a way, I am. I wasn't born here, but everyone here knows me."
coughingpuppy: "You might like sleeping in a cluttered mess of buildings, which I don't...but since the rest of you seem to like it better..."
AndrewRogue: "That explains it." *shrugs* "Eh, I'm fine with either. Although I do tend to agree a bit with Rii here. It is a bit of an odd town."
Sarcazmo47: "I have no great love for this place, myself...what think you all? Stay here, or sleep on cold ground and use rocks for pillows?"
Dark Japheth: "Plus, the clergy of Sakhmet are... nice... to those who exhibit physical beauty. Great physical beauty. TO their own destruction, I've always thought, but nobody there agrees."
Sarcazmo47: He waits for a verdict.
Chromeus18: "I'm inclined to stay in town, but I won't let you sleep in the wilds alone."
Dark Japheth: "Verily."
coughingpuppy: She shrugs. "Whatever the rest of you want."
AndrewRogue: "Eh heh... that explains a bit about this place." *stretches his wings* "S'your call boss."
Sarcazmo47: Skocion blinks.
Sarcazmo47: "In that case."
Sarcazmo47: He takes a deep breath through his nose.
Sarcazmo47: "I want a bath."
Chromeus18: (*farts*)
Chromeus18: (haha!)
Sarcazmo47: And makes for the stables.
AndrewRogue: *slaps his knee and laughs* "Right then!"
Chromeus18: </juvenlie humor>)
coughingpuppy: "Yeah...I guess I can agree with you at least that much..." Riannon sighs, resigns herself to another night among people, and follows Skocion.
Chromeus18: *does the same*
Dark Japheth: This town is small, having only one inn.
Sarcazmo47: Good.
Chromeus18: does this inn have a tavern?
Sarcazmo47: They get there without being accosted by invisible demons?
Dark Japheth: Inside, the sparkling clean interior completely wows you. The bartender, a young harpy woman of approximately niniel's age (but not her beauty) sits there, reading something idly.
Dark Japheth: Yes.
Chromeus18: After stabling his horse, Krist heads to the tavern and seats himself at the bar.
Dark Japheth: Amaryllis Cliche #1- all buildings are taverns. Inns, temples, brothels, you name it- they serve alchohol here.
Dark Japheth: The woman does not look up from her reading, or even deign to notice you.
Chromeus18: "A glass of wine, please."
Dark Japheth: She puts down the book, and looks at you rudely. "I'm sorry, what was that?"
coughingpuppy: Riannon is actually unnerved by all the cleanness. A place without a little dust or dirt is just kind of unnatural.
Chromeus18: "Could I get a glass of wine? Nagukorian, if you have it."
Chromeus18: (quasi-elemental plane of CLEANLINESS)
Dark Japheth: "I don't have it. I have this, imported from Gelendar. Or I have the holy wine of Sakhmet, if you should like it."
AndrewRogue: (Bleach elemental?)
Dark Japheth: She smiles.
Sarcazmo47: Skocion just walks right up to her and smiles. "Five rooms, please. And hot water for a bath."
Chromeus18: "Surprise me." Krist pulls out the napkin of poetry
Dark Japheth: (...Tide- (ex): Does 4d6 damage to stains, heals clothing of 1d4+1 damage)
Dark Japheth: While you read it, she hands you a bottle of wine, that looks too clear. On it is a spider, with a pentagram on the back- one of the many symbols of Sakhmet.
Dark Japheth: Its probably watered down. But note that she does not even pour it for you.
Dark Japheth: She looks at Skocion. "...That will be one hundred gold."
Sarcazmo47: He quirks his head to one side, though he's still smiling.
coughingpuppy: Riannon frowns. A night outside would have been cheaper, too.
Chromeus18: "...I'm expected to drink the whole bottle?"
Sarcazmo47: "As you can see, my friends and I have been on the road for some time. And can continue on as such, if you continue to try to gouge me because I appear wealthy. A reasonable charge, please, and I will happily pay it."
Dark Japheth: "Unfortunately, those are the rules. You obviously do not live here. I am to charge twenty gold for rooms. Now, if you do not want good rooms for all five of them, I can bring the price down."
Chromeus18: (I should so break that wine bottle over my head for an intimidation check)
Sarcazmo47: Yes. Yes you should.
Dark Japheth: "Without hot water, or decent bedding, its 10 gold a night. Otherwise, its twenty."
Sarcazmo47: "Whose rules are they, perchance?"
Dark Japheth: The woman smiles at the frogman, and says "I'm charging you for it."
Dark Japheth: "The priestesses."
AndrewRogue: *just hangs around Skoc, listening and doing the seeing eye harpy thing*
Dark Japheth: "If you have a problem, take it up with the priestess in charge here, though I doubt she'll see you."
Chromeus18: Krist blinks, and his throat expands. "I'll take your cheapest beer then."
Dark Japheth: Niniel, though, is sitting outside, gently smoking a cigarette before going in the tavern.
Dark Japheth: The woman looks at Skocion. "Are you casting a spell? Stop wiggling your fingers. It makes me uncomfortable. Do not make me call for the guards.'
Sarcazmo47: Skocion snorts. "Then have a good evening, lady."
Sarcazmo47: And he leaves.
AndrewRogue: "Eh heh wait a sec boss..."
Sarcazmo47: "yes?"
coughingpuppy: ((Mrrrr? For some reason I think my chat is skipping posts...))
Sarcazmo47: It's not.
AndrewRogue: "We are friends of a well known beauty from here." *smiles*
Chromeus18: (crazy women)
Sarcazmo47: Skocion blinks.
Sarcazmo47: "Beauty?"
AndrewRogue: "Nin of course."
Sarcazmo47: Skocion blinks again and says nothing.
AndrewRogue: "I'm sure she could help us resolve this. Lemme get her boss."
Sarcazmo47: Skocion shrugs and seats himself.
Chromeus18: can i get a cheap beer? :P
AndrewRogue: *walks on out front*
Dark Japheth: Niniel takes a drag. "Hey. No luck?"
Chromeus18: instead of a friggin bottle of wine? (harpy bartender wants Krist to get DRUNK)
AndrewRogue: "Eh heh... actually I was wondering if you could help us. They're trying to gouge boss on the cost."
Dark Japheth: She's going to charge you for the wine regardless.
Dark Japheth: "Ah. Did she give a reason?"
Chromeus18: Krist totally disregards the wine, as he doesn't want a whole bottle.
Dark Japheth: Heh.
AndrewRogue: "Because we obviously don't live here. You said you're well known though, and you're definitely pretty enough to appeal. Maybe you could lower it a few gold?"
Chromeus18: (rocks fall, Krist dies)
Dark Japheth: "You are so sweet." Niniel leans over, and kisses you on the cheek. "I'll see what I can do."
Dark Japheth: She stands up, crushes out her cigarette on her boot...
Dark Japheth: And walks inside.
Dark Japheth: walks straight to the bitch...
Dark Japheth: Smiles... and reaches into her side pouch, then gently slides it over to the woman, and then reclaiming it.
Dark Japheth: "How much are the rooms for my friend?"
Dark Japheth: The woman twitches. "It... it... it will be ten gold apiece. 50 gold for five rooms."
Dark Japheth: Niniel, of course, smiles. "Do I have to tell Amani about this? She wouldn't be happy about you gouging us."
Dark Japheth: And finally, the woman capitulates. "Twenty five gold is the lowest I can go."
AndrewRogue: *sits, smiling to himself for one reason or another* (BRB)
Dark Japheth: Niniel turns to Skocion. "Is this a more reasonable price, Baron?"
*OnlineHost*: Chromeus18 rolled 1 20-sided die: 6
Sarcazmo47: "Very. Thank you, my dear." he bows at the waist, then steps over and deposits a stack of three platinum pieces on the counter.
coughingpuppy: Riannon watches this carefully; it's probably safe to assume that the girl's affiliated with the church here. She's not sure whether she likes that or not.
Dark Japheth: The woman takes the money. "Is.. is this." she gestures to Krist. "Also... under your protection and grace?"
Dark Japheth: Niniel- "Yes. He's drinking for free here tonight. And don't water down his wine."
Dark Japheth: Niniel smiles.
Chromeus18: Krist looks to Niniel.
Dark Japheth: The woman hands five keys to Skocion. ".....do you want breakfast in the morning? Its... its five gold normally, but I can lower that, if you want." She is twitching her eyes between Skocion and Niniel
Sarcazmo47: Skocion seats himself at the same table as the rest, then gestures for He looks over at the bartender-girl and says, "Why don't you step outside for a moment?"
Chromeus18: "You needn't fare for me, if you'd rather not."
Sarcazmo47: Then he goes and sits with the others, gesturing for Niniel to be seated as well.
Dark Japheth: The bartender girl forces up a smile, and does so.
Dark Japheth: Niniel has a look of smug satisfaction on her face until the woman leaves, and then her face sinks.
Chromeus18: when bartender leaves, Krist gets up and gets his OWN damn beer
Sarcazmo47: "Sit, my dear. We need to talk, I think."
Dark Japheth: "You going to drink all that wine? We'll split it, if you'd like."
Dark Japheth: *takes bottle and glasses*
Dark Japheth: "Very well. What about?"
Sarcazmo47: He grins. "Why, you, of course."
Chromeus18: "Take as much as you want. I only intended to have a drink or two."
AndrewRogue: (back) *readjusts himself to sit comfortably and listen*
Dark Japheth: "Goody." She pours herself a glass of wine, and lights up a cigarette.
Dark Japheth: Using the empty wine glasses, the ones not filled, to ash.
Sarcazmo47: Skocion continues to smile as he starts talking. "Four days ago, you appeared in our midst. With Landus, if I'm not mistaken. Without explaining from whence or why, you're still following Landus. Now, in this country,
Sarcazmo47: it appears you are a person of significant influence. You have a magical power of an unknown sort, a unique aura, and unknown motives."
Dark Japheth: Niniel pouts. "You've figured me out. The secrets out, I suppose." *drags*
Chromeus18: Krist's throat expands again, as he pours himself a glass of wine and takes a swig.
Sarcazmo47: "While I am not unappreciative of the favor you've done us, you will I hope concede that this is at least mildly suspicious."
Dark Japheth: "Especially considering that the group in power here is admittedly a group of traitorous and untrustworthy people."
Dark Japheth: "And I seem to be in power here."
Sarcazmo47: "I was hoping you might be able to tell me somthing to assuage my suspicions about a woman who appears the same night we are attacked by an invisible monster."
coughingpuppy: Riannon leans back in her chair and folds her arms. "Right. And my guess is that you're affiliated with Sekhmet...who isn't all that trustworthy either."
Sarcazmo47: Skocion keeps smiling through this entire speech.
Sarcazmo47: Almost apologetically.
Dark Japheth: "Oh, that? That I had no control over. That was an assassin sent to kill the woman. I knew that much."
Dark Japheth: "And if you think I'm affiliated with Sakhmet, you are dreadfully wrong."
Dark Japheth: "Please continue, I'm sorry for interrupting."
Chromeus18: Krist blinks, his throat expands.
Chromeus18: and he takes another sip
Chromeus18: listening intently
Sarcazmo47: "Oh no, I'm quite finished. Somewhat curious what you know about such a creature, and who would dispatch it to eliminate a Heolstrom, but that's tangental."
Sarcazmo47: "What I really want to know is who you are and what your interest in Landus is."
Dark Japheth: "I am Niniel."
Dark Japheth: "Landus has... a quality about him that I am interested in."
Sarcazmo47: He gestures with his hand. "I was hoping for a more complete answer."
Sarcazmo47: "How is it that you have so much influence here if you are not a worshipper of the Spider Queen?"
Chromeus18: "Hopefully more than his sycophanticism?"
Sarcazmo47: Skocion makes a sharp gesture at Krist at that comment.
Dark Japheth: "I have told you. The people here revere Sakhmet, a deity of arrogance, vanity, and beauty. None can worship her but the beautiful."
Dark Japheth: She opens a pouch at her side, and pulls out a lot of small silver sigils.
AndrewRogue: *glares at the frog*
Dark Japheth: One has a set of broken glasses, another, a stick with the skull attached at the end....
Dark Japheth: Another, the spider.
Dark Japheth: A small circle within a square...a bleeding dagger... a bloody upside down ankh.
Dark Japheth: A set of monstrous jaws, a dark knights mask, and a rotting face.
Dark Japheth: There are others, too. One is of the sun,with a bow drawn back very far. Another, a crystal longsword pointed down, superimposed over a flower.
Dark Japheth: Another, the rose.
Dark Japheth: She smiles. "I hope I don't have to explain why I have so many of these."
Sarcazmo47: Skocion looks at her, then down at the sigils, then back at her. "Where does your blood come from?"
Dark Japheth: "What?" She looks at you quickly, too quickly.
Sarcazmo47: He speaks again, enunciating very slowly.
Dark Japheth: :P
Sarcazmo47: "Where. Does. Your. Blood. Come. From?"
Sarcazmo47: "Don't lie to me, please."
Dark Japheth: "My father was a perverted sorceror. A strong one. Ancient, as well- he was present at the fall of Karnage. But he was trapped in ice, or so he claims- I believe him to be insane."
Chromeus18: Krist takes another sip. what a drinking game!
Dark Japheth: "He took his raven familiar, and used a polymorphing spell to make it look almost human, and then fucked it repeatedly until it bore him a single child."
Dark Japheth: "Me."
Sarcazmo47: Sense motive!
*OnlineHost*: Sarcazmo47 rolled 1 20-sided die: 20
AndrewRogue: Saaame here.
Sarcazmo47: BLAM
*OnlineHost*: AndrewRogue rolled 1 20-sided die: 3
*OnlineHost*: coughingpuppy rolled 1 20-sided die: 11
Dark Japheth: "As he was a powerful mage, I would assume that my blood comes from him."
Dark Japheth: "Plus, my mother was his familiar."
Dark Japheth: "A magical creature."
Dark Japheth: (She seems to be telling the truth.)
Chromeus18: Krist simply blinks.
Sarcazmo47: "...interesting. How is it you can use your sorcerous blood to heal?"
Dark Japheth: (Or is so accomplished at lying that you can't tell from any mannerisms or niceties of speech to determine lying)
Dark Japheth: "I can't."
coughingpuppy: Riannon just shakes her head. "People do some fucking strange stuff."
Dark Japheth: "I never said I could."
AndrewRogue: "Well... that's an origin."
Dark Japheth: "Yeah."
Dark Japheth: *to riannon*
Sarcazmo47: Skocion ponders her for a moment.
Sarcazmo47: "What is it you want from Landus?"
Dark Japheth: "What is it you want with knowledge of what I want from Landus?"
Sarcazmo47: "Security that you are not dangerous to me. Additionally, I'm curious. And would be sad if you knew more of my companions than I did."
Dark Japheth: "I just want to know why. Additionally, you are wise not to trust me, as I admit I came at perhaps the worst possible time."
Dark Japheth: "However, I am attempting to gain understanding. It is something my father never really did, not until it was too late for him."
Dark Japheth: "I wish to understand people. ANd why they do things."
Sarcazmo47: "To what end?"
Chromeus18: "What is the point?"
Dark Japheth: "My own edification."
Dark Japheth: "If that is not enough reason for you, or you think it has no point, then I freely admit- yes, it has no point. It may not bring me gain in power, or wealth. But neither power or wealth are worthy ends."
Dark Japheth: "They are means to the ultimate end of transcendence, acceptance, and piety."
coughingpuppy: "You might be trying to figure people out for a long time. I still haven't done it."
Dark Japheth: "I have been. But I have been granted time enough to learn."
Sarcazmo47: Skocion quirks an eyebrow at that.
Sarcazmo47: "Then I will take you for enlightened."
Sarcazmo47: "Still, though. I have one question."
Sarcazmo47: "What is it about Landus you wish to understand?"
Dark Japheth: "That is a matter between Landus and I."
Sarcazmo47: Skocion freezes for a moment, then shrugs and accepts it.
Dark Japheth: "And while I do not doubt your talent in this particular field, I suspect Landus will forever know more about Landus than you ever can be capable of knowing."
Sarcazmo47: "Then I have another question instead."
Sarcazmo47: "If you carry the symbols of all these gods....which one is it that you follow? Who is it that has granted you your time?"
Dark Japheth: She takes her fingers, and idly plays with them. "Does that really matter? And I did not say any god had granted me time."
coughingpuppy: "Yeah? Who did, then?"
Chromeus18: Krist finishes his glass of wine, and his throat expands slightly.
Sarcazmo47: Skocion suddenly grins and starts tapping the tabletop.
Chromeus18: and if there's any left, Krist pours himself another glass.
Dark Japheth: "And why do you so hate humans? You know that encroaching civilization is merely another form of nature, yes?"
Dark Japheth: "The woods are weak. If they were not meant to be burned down, the animals not meant to be hunted by those with strength and magic and spears, they would have developed their own magic and spears."
Chromeus18: (*ZING*)
AndrewRogue: (OW.)
Sarcazmo47: Oh god. Major philosophical discussion.
Sarcazmo47: At level 2.
Dark Japheth: "Although I admire your candor in defending them. Few do, now adays, and their beauty, I fear, will be lost to the world shortly."
Sarcazmo47: I love it.
AndrewRogue: (Its your game again Kirk! <_<)
coughingpuppy: Riannon, who had seemed pretty casual up until now, suddenly lets her chair fall forward. "No. The problem there is that people think they're above nature. People like me show them they aren't."
Dark Japheth: "Do they, though?"
Dark Japheth: "What would happen if you found a hunter, a man who hunted and ate only what he killed and wasted nothing... and he did not hate you for his fate of dying to your blade?"
Dark Japheth: "Or better, what if he fought back? ANd stopped you. Would that mean he was right, as he was stronger?"
coughingpuppy: "Yeah. They want to control it. Nature would reclaim itself eventually anyway, because it's stronger...we just help it do it faster." She considers that scenerio, and then nods.
coughingpuppy: "I've never attacked people like that anyway."
Dark Japheth: "Have you ever killed a man who hunted to feed his family?"
Dark Japheth: "Directly, or indirectly."
Dark Japheth: (I'm also doing this because poor Ri never gets any spotlight. And Krist will get probably 20-30 sessions if the group goes to Nagukor.... and his old character gets a lot of fanfare)
Dark Japheth: (and because goddamnit, its my job to take militant hippies and burn them at the stake)
coughingpuppy: "Hunted what? There's a big difference between hunting the game his family needs to live and hunting animals to market their body parts."
AndrewRogue: (Heh! I don't care. I'm enjoying it ^_^)
Chromeus18: (Chrome don't need much love, just a mention is fine :P He ain't the god of Nature.)
Dark Japheth: "But if they sold those body parts to buy food that would actually sustain their family longer, would that not be survival, as well?"
Dark Japheth: (True. But Chrome has destiny in his palm. Or on his chest, rather.)
coughingpuppy: "Kind of. But there's survival in civilization, and there's survival in nature. One's the way the world is intended to be...civilization's just a parasite that feeds on nature. Which has its place...but not to the extent
coughingpuppy: it's got to."
Dark Japheth: "And who decides how the world is intended to be?"
Sarcazmo47: Skocion makes an annoyed noise. Sort of "Hmmph."
coughingpuppy: "The world's intended to be the way it was created."
Dark Japheth: "Five hundred years ago, Karnage died. Had he succeeded, he would have siphoned the latent power of gaea and used it to form his paradise of ice, technology and insanity."
Dark Japheth: "And how exactly WAS it created, Riannon?"
Chromeus18: Krist's throat expands, he takes a sip of win.
Chromeus18: *wine.
coughingpuppy: "Without civilization, certainly." She's heard Skocion's noise, and would normally stop, but she's much too heated by the debate to just let Niniel have it.
Dark Japheth: "I don't know, Ri."
Dark Japheth: "What if the world was created with Civilization? And they artificially created nature, to be an amusement to those who dwelled in civilization?"
coughingpuppy: "I don't see how that could be. Civilization must have been something that developed. And in small amounts it would be a part of nature like anything else."
AndrewRogue: *can't quite restrain a small chuckle*
Dark Japheth: "Right. And it could not be that Civilization always was, and always shall be? After all, the gods did have civilization in the skies."
Dark Japheth: "And they came to the Amaryllis, and built it like... a garden, one might say."
Dark Japheth: "An entertaining hunting ground, if one is so cynical as I."
Dark Japheth: "Civilization then becomes the standard, and what you consider natural is merely the thought processes of a demented mind."
Dark Japheth: "In fact, I can prove my theory."
coughingpuppy: She shakes her head. "Civilization isn't eternal. And long after the last of us dies, nature will still be regrowing and reclaiming itself."
Dark Japheth: "A mere accolade to the success of their creation."
coughingpuppy: "Eventually it's going to collapse on itself. Nature never will."
Dark Japheth: "Explain, then, the Platypus and the Hamster."
Dark Japheth: "Neither has traits very useful in their environment, and yet they persist there."
coughingpuppy: "This is gonna lead into a story, isn't it?"
Dark Japheth: "Nope."
AndrewRogue: *its getting harder to resist breaking into laughter*
Dark Japheth: "Just trying to let you see the other side."
Dark Japheth: "Take down your biases, and view it from the other perspective and possibility."
Dark Japheth: "This, by the way, is why Luthien didn't like me or want me to be in her clergy."
Dark Japheth: "Seriously, explain the hamster."
Chromeus18: Krist blinks.
Dark Japheth: "Its too small and useless to do anything but survive as a pet. It has no instincts of running or fear, to save it from predators."
Sarcazmo47: Skocion snorts.
coughingpuppy: "It obviously has its uses and a place in the natural world. If it didn't, it would have died out."
Dark Japheth: "It breeds often, yes, but the act of breeding, it eats all but one of its own children, thus defeating the purpose of breeding them at all unless you seperate them."
Dark Japheth: "Then tell me what is its purpose."
coughingpuppy: "If nothing else, it feeds the predators that feed on it."
Chromeus18: (platypus is alot more fucked up, i think. duck billed mammal, lays eggs, and has venomous spikes on it's ankles. it rode the short bus to evolution school.)
Sarcazmo47: Skocion can't help it, and starts laughing.
Sarcazmo47: "How is that different from humans?"
coughingpuppy: "They're predators out of control. In a natural environment, when a predator eats everything that feeds it, the population crashes. That's how they keep in check. Nature goes in cycles.
coughingpuppy: The problem with people is that by the time they've consumed everything, the damage might be too permanant to cycle back."
Dark Japheth: "But nature always regrows."
Dark Japheth: "Doesn't it?" Niniel smiles, a mischevious twinkle in her eye.
coughingpuppy: "Sure. Eventually. After thousands of years."
Dark Japheth: "Then why worry? In a thousand years, all will be right again."
Dark Japheth: She leans back in her chair, rolling another cigarette.
coughingpuppy: Riannon shrugs. "Call it a service to people if you want. You kill a couple and the rest live longer."
Dark Japheth: "So in essence, you are saving humans and prolonging civilization."
coughingpuppy: ((Hm...I'm starting to think she might be CN instead of NE...))
Sarcazmo47: Stop thinking that way!
Dark Japheth: "By culling a few, you preserve the species. And their intolerable behavior."
Sarcazmo47: Besides, CN people don't flay other people alive.
Sarcazmo47: For fun.
Dark Japheth: "And thus, you delay the inevitable regrowth of nature. Sounds pretty against the druidic codes to me."
coughingpuppy: "Nature can work with civilization. Actually, maybe it needs it. But it needs to be moderated, like anything else."
Sarcazmo47: ...and the inner libertarian comes through.
Dark Japheth: "Does it? Does nature, too, need to be moderated?"
Dark Japheth: "Nature can take good enough care of itself. Nellix, and Gaea before him, took care of that."
coughingpuppy: "No. All things are nature. It can't be moderated. But I don't see any harm in helping it along."
Dark Japheth: "Helping it to what end?"
coughingpuppy: "Just urging along the inevitable."
Dark Japheth: "Which inevitable? The final death knell of nature, or the ultimate crushing of civilization beneath the paw of nature?"
Chromeus18: brb
coughingpuppy: "The latter one, obviously."
Dark Japheth: "Then no matter which route you take, until the final moment, there is no way to know."
Dark Japheth: "By helping nature slay man, you accelerate his ascention and ability to finally tame all of nature."
Dark Japheth: "And by helping man slay nature, I am certain Nellix, Sakhmet, or whichever god granted you your nature powers will invariably strip them from you, and you will also promote Nature
Dark Japheth: finally crushing man while he is unaware."
coughingpuppy: "He can't tame it, and it's simple arrogance to think so. I'm not helping nature kill humans altogether...I never said that, actually. But they aren't above nature or its selection, either."
Dark Japheth: "You know what, Riannon? It has been a while since I've had this good of a chat."
Dark Japheth: "However, I need to go outside, and beat the living shit out of that woman who is intending on listening in."
Dark Japheth: "Who cares that she can't do it, I still need to show her a lesson."
coughingpuppy: She shrugs. "It's been a while since anyone's questioned what I did. I think about it...doesn't mean I won't stop doing it."
Dark Japheth: She stands up, and puts on an irresistably sweet smile. "Anyone want to come help me?"
Sarcazmo47: Skocion swivels to look over at Landus.
Sarcazmo47: "Why don't you?"
AndrewRogue: *grins* "Eh, I could use a stretch."
Dark Japheth: "Goody."
Dark Japheth: She walks outside.
Chromeus18: Krist takes another sip of wine "No thanks."
AndrewRogue: *slides out of his chair and follows*
Dark Japheth: In semi-comical cartoon fashion, a big cloud of dust with various limbs protruding rushes through the entire bar, and finally stops with Niniel standing over the woman with a broken table leg, and the woman
Dark Japheth: crying in fear.
Sarcazmo47: Yay cinematized bar fights!
Dark Japheth: But Niniel puts down the blunt instrument, and then hands her something very small. And then grabs ahold of Landus' hand, and pulls him upstairs. "I have to know why, Landus."
Chromeus18: *watches with slight amusement*
AndrewRogue: "Erk? Know what?" *as he is dragged*
Dark Japheth: The Bartender woman now literally cannot cry at all. SHe is so paralyzed with fear that she is unconscious, in a way, yet her eyes are open.
coughingpuppy: Riannon watches Niniel drag Landus upstairs with some amusement and some surprise. "Huh. Wonder what that was about."
Sarcazmo47: Skocion snorts.
Sarcazmo47: "Do you need more than one guess?"
Chromeus18: Krist stands, and walks over to the paralyzed bartender, then looks down on her.
Sarcazmo47: She's posing perfectly for a sculpting, I think.
Chromeus18: "One should learn WHEN to listen... I imagine..." and he spits on her.
Chromeus18: and unless she awakens and kicks my ass, i head upstairs to my innroom. "Rest well, Skocion, Riannon."
Dark Japheth: The woman just twitches.
Chromeus18: and Krist sleeps!
Sarcazmo47: Skocion has a few drinks himself, then walks over to the woman and presses a platinum coin into her hand and says, "Don't forget breakfast."
Sarcazmo47: And also goes to bed.
Dark Japheth: The woman says "Breakfast breakfast breakfast."
Dark Japheth: Now... I call a delay of game for about 8 minutes
coughingpuppy: Riannon sits around for a while, then eventually gets up and follows the others upstairs.
Sarcazmo47: Yes boss.
Dark Japheth: for cigarette and associated dialogue scenes
*OnlineHost*: AndrewRogue rolled 1 20-sided die: 2
Dark Japheth: I return
Dark Japheth: Before we go on
Dark Japheth: Incredible RPing from everyone thus far.
coughingpuppy: It's a lot harder than I thought to RP an extremist...
Dark Japheth: I'm giving out 500 XP in addition to one other thing.
Dark Japheth: Ri, you get +1 wisdom. Skocion, +2 to sense motive. Krist, +1 to intimidate. (and you are one step away from a true evil alignment). Landus, +2 to sense motive.
Dark Japheth: Class these bonuses as Insight.
Sarcazmo47: * watches as a yellow L appears over Skocion's head*
Chromeus18: (oh my)
coughingpuppy: Whoa, awesome.
Sarcazmo47: Very much so.
AndrewRogue: (Yay!)
coughingpuppy: And level up, too.
Chromeus18: me too!
AndrewRogue: Same
Dark Japheth: Heh.
Dark Japheth: :P
coughingpuppy: I appreciate the Wis bonus a lot, by the way, Gorth. Ri kind of needed it.

Dark Japheth: Any questions before I rock on and continue this for the next 35 minutes?
*OnlineHost*: AndrewRogue rolled 1 20-sided die: 10
Chromeus18: not for me.
Sarcazmo47: All done!
coughingpuppy: I'm done.
Dark Japheth: happy gorth panda
AndrewRogue: No real questions out of me... Go Monk level!
*OnlineHost*: AndrewRogue rolled 2 8-sided dice: 8 2
Dark Japheth: omg woah
AndrewRogue: Yay non crappy HP roll ^_^
Sarcazmo47: My fighter has less HP than the druid.
Sarcazmo47: That makes me sad.
Chromeus18: may i ask everyone's total HP? or would that be out of line? :P
AndrewRogue: 19
coughingpuppy: 29.
Sarcazmo47: 27
AndrewRogue: Oh wow. I'm fragile.
Chromeus18: 24 works right in!
Dark Japheth: Fragile like a FOX
Chromeus18: 10 coming from this EVIL skin i have.
AndrewRogue: Hmm... its a feat choosing level.
Dark Japheth: It is, ain't it.
Sarcazmo47: *Takes his SPECIAL feat that Gorth gave him cause he's SPECIAL*
AndrewRogue: Hmm... I'm thinking Fly-By Attack.
AndrewRogue: Does anybody actually have the rules regarding flying and all that handy?
Dark Japheth: Yes. Wizards.
Chromeus18: they're available on SRD
Dark Japheth: www.opengamingfoundation.org
coughingpuppy: I completely forgot a feat.
AndrewRogue: Which part of the SRD I mean :p
coughingpuppy: Hrm...
Chromeus18: movement
Chromeus18: i'm ready when everyone else is.
AndrewRogue: I suck. Is movement under another header? ;_;
Dark Japheth: I'm only ready when the Second hand is pointed to 35.
Sarcazmo47: BLAM
coughingpuppy: I'm ready.
Dark Japheth: ROCK ON
Dark Japheth: You awaken in the morning. The nighttable in your rooms has steaming breakfast.
Sarcazmo47: *eats steaming breakfast*
Dark Japheth: French toast, some ham, syrup on the side, some butter, fried potatoes, the flesh of fallen angels...
Sarcazmo47: Mmmm.
Dark Japheth: Normal breakfast foods
AndrewRogue: *slips on down and eats with his usual zeal*
Sarcazmo47: Skocion eats, bathes, dresses, and canes his way downstairs.
coughingpuppy: Riannon heads down to eat too.
Dark Japheth: Downstairs, the woman is sitting behind the counter, with her book, but she IMMEDIATELY sets it down and says "Did you guys sleep alright?"
coughingpuppy: "Yeah, just fine."
AndrewRogue: *nods vaguely as he eats*
Sarcazmo47: "Lovely."
Chromeus18: Krist eats as well.
Chromeus18: and bathes, then heads downstairs
Dark Japheth: Niniel finally comes downstairs, and sits at a table, applying her makeup for the day.
Chromeus18: Krist heads to the bar "Could I get a glass of grapefruit juice?"
Dark Japheth: The woman says "I'm sorry, sir. I don't have grapefruits."
Dark Japheth: "Nobody here drinks it."
Chromeus18: "Orange juice then?"
Dark Japheth: "I can get you pomegranite juice. Or nectarine. Or orange, ok."
Dark Japheth: She fills a glass, and hands it to you.
Chromeus18: "My thanks." Krist passes a silver piece over to her.
Dark Japheth: She smiles crudely, her face slightly misshapen from the bruises and beatings. "No, its ok. Take it back, this one is on the house."
coughingpuppy: Riannon glances over at Krist, considering a question but trying to think of how to phrase it inoffensively.
Dark Japheth: Then she slides down slightly, inching away.
Chromeus18: He then drains his juice in one gulp, and sets his glass back down. "Keep em... coming?"
Dark Japheth: She does so!
Sarcazmo47: "Is Niniel still with us, Landus?"
Sarcazmo47: Wait.
Sarcazmo47: I can read.
Sarcazmo47: Nevermind.
Sarcazmo47: *slaps himself*
Chromeus18: Krist drinks the next one. "Just one more should do me, lady."
AndrewRogue: "Eh heh... one more after that actually. I'm a little thirsty this morning."
Dark Japheth: The woman keeps giving out orange juice glasses.
Sarcazmo47: Wheeeee orange juice.
Dark Japheth: Niniel looks to the woman. "I'd like a milk." She keeps on applying the black nail polish to her long nails, and the woman brings over a glass of milk.
Chromeus18: *takes his and Landus's glasses, and sets them down appropriately at the table*
coughingpuppy: Riannon takes one of the juice glasses and sips at it once she's done eating, waiting for the others to get ready to go.
AndrewRogue: "Nice to see things are more plesant this morning." *grinning*
Sarcazmo47: Skocion taps his fingers on the table, obviously in a hurry to get going.
Chromeus18: (Did Riannon drink Krist's juice?!?)
Dark Japheth: YES
Dark Japheth: OMG
Dark Japheth: I don't know.
coughingpuppy: ((No, I assumed there were extra glasses. Otherwise she doesn't take one.))
Dark Japheth: Alrighty. I've got to get going in half an hour, so I end official session now.
Dark Japheth: ~-~-~END~-~-~
Dark Japheth: But!
Dark Japheth: ~-~-~BEGIN DREAM SEQUENCES~-~-~
Sarcazmo47: Oh my.
Dark Japheth: ....who goes first?
Dark Japheth: *chortle laugh spit*
Sarcazmo47: Riannon!
AndrewRogue: THE FROG!
Sarcazmo47: THE FROG
Sarcazmo47: YES
coughingpuppy: Froggy!
Sarcazmo47: *zombie*
Chromeus18: do the frog!
Dark Japheth: Froggie frog frog
AndrewRogue: I... don't want to do any frog.
Dark Japheth: Alrighty...
Chromeus18: you don't love me, you just love my froggystyle
Dark Japheth: The Frog is in a labyrinth, almost. A dark labyrinth- only the light of your semi-bioluminescent eyes lights your path.
Dark Japheth: You continue wandering, for a long long time. You see symbols long forgotten by man, things man and frog were not meant to see.
Dark Japheth: Like Rosanne Barr pornography
Chromeus18: (thanks)
Dark Japheth: Anytime man.
Dark Japheth: Just drawing a paralell, though.
Dark Japheth: Regardless.
Dark Japheth: You rise from the tomb, because clearly this is a tomb
Dark Japheth: And you look about you. You are in Nagukor.
Dark Japheth: In the center of the empire, sitting at the side of the emperor. He looks down. "Krist, you are our greatest warrior. Do you have the strength of mind, of will, of arm to fight our foe?"
Chromeus18: *looks down to the floor, then back up.* "I.. no.."
Dark Japheth: "What?" He looks at you. And then smiles.
Chromeus18: *straightens up* "I meant yes, your most gracious majesty."
Dark Japheth: His face twists, and turns into a... a Bakemono face! (Like a goblin, only with bigger ears, and blue instead of brown)
Dark Japheth: "Would you like the power?" He grins and cackles. "I can give it to you, you know"
Chromeus18: "What more power do I need? I already have the tutelage of the finest warriors of the empire..."
Dark Japheth: He grins. "I want to show you something."
Dark Japheth: He waves his hand... and a portal opens. Almost. More like a looking glass.
Dark Japheth: You see a towering chunk of metal.
Chromeus18: "If I.. *nods his head* "Of course."
Dark Japheth: It seems vaguely crafted like armor.
Dark Japheth: At least 100 pounds of armor.
Dark Japheth: Covered in spikes, almost like barbed wire.
Chromeus18: "What is this?"
Dark Japheth: "Watch."
Dark Japheth: The man lifts a blade easily the weight of a horse.
Dark Japheth: ANd smashes the ground- a wave of force goes forward, and demolishes a castle wall.,
Dark Japheth: The man walks in, and simply annihilates all who stand in his way.
Dark Japheth: "Do you want that power?"
Chromeus18: Krist hesitates for a moment. "Will it bring back... Anuel?"
Dark Japheth: He chortles. "WIth the power I have, and can bestow upon you, at the cost of your soul, your allegiance, your loyalty to me forever in life and death..."
Dark Japheth: "Anuel is nothing. Bringing him back is as a whim."
Dark Japheth: "Or removing him entirely. Its all up to you. Power is at your grasp."
Chromeus18: Krist deepens his voice. "I can set Anuel's soul at ease myself. I will not be chained like the slave you wish me to be."
Dark Japheth: You awaken immediately.
Chromeus18: and Krist PANTS loudly
Dark Japheth: Next?
Dark Japheth: *wicked grin*
AndrewRogue: Rii!
coughingpuppy: Sure!
Dark Japheth: You are in what would make any druid cry!
Dark Japheth: There are no animals
Dark Japheth: There is no life. There are literally... only... the cities.
Dark Japheth: Pearled, tall, crystalline.
Dark Japheth: Nature is dead. It has been dead.
Dark Japheth: You know this.
Dark Japheth: When... suddenly...
Dark Japheth: one man idly spits as he walks by a patch of dirt.
Dark Japheth: And from the dirt... a single flower sprouts, slowly.
Dark Japheth: A white flower, with streaks of red.
Dark Japheth: Another man, walking by, plucks this flower... and puts it in a pot in his home.
Dark Japheth: The world is jarred, things are destroyed. Mankind finally extinguishes itself completely.
Dark Japheth: And a dark shadow passes across the flower.
Dark Japheth: And yellow, glowing eyes illuminate for only a moment, before a shadowed claw grabs the flower, tenderly, and laughs.
Dark Japheth: Next/
Dark Japheth: ?
Sarcazmo47: Landus.
AndrewRogue: Curses. Beat to the punch.
Sarcazmo47: Bwahaha.
Dark Japheth: *chortles*
Dark Japheth: Landus... you are back at home.
Dark Japheth: The HOME
Sarcazmo47: Home again home again dedlee de.
Dark Japheth: You have just found a miracle solution to all of her problems!
Dark Japheth: A miracle drug, that will fix it. Its been given to you by the gods.
Dark Japheth: You smile, and dance with glee. She looks up at you, with haunted eyes.
Sarcazmo47: Not to be confused with a miracle spell.
Dark Japheth: right.
Dark Japheth: Jeanne's eyes are filled with pain, and sorrow.
Dark Japheth: But she takes a single spoonful of it.. and then immediately vanishes, her bones crumbling to dust, and her eyes sinking into her head.
Dark Japheth: eventually, she is dead.
Dark Japheth: (and now its interactive!)
Dark Japheth: (So describe your reaction)
AndrewRogue: *stares stupidly, the bottle or what not falling from his hand as he practically dives forward, clutching at the dust*
Dark Japheth: Behind you stands Niniel.
Dark Japheth: She is crying, and holding a small stuffed raven.
Dark Japheth: She reaches out, and touches your arm.
Dark Japheth: "You can't take that path, Landus. The path of easy miracle cures will result only in failure."
Dark Japheth: "Every time."
Dark Japheth: "The path of ease is the path of evil."
Dark Japheth: "But... I can tell you this. You should have hope. I can see her getting better within a year. But you have to do something."
Dark Japheth: (*waits for response and then realizes he types too freaking fast and had this too well planned*)
Sarcazmo47: Andrew can take a few minutes to think sometimes.
AndrewRogue: "What do I have to do Nin? I've worked relentlessly for it. If that doesn't work, and the easy way doesn't work, what does that leave me?"
Dark Japheth: "You haven't done the hardest thing in the world yet."
Dark Japheth: "There are two in this situation."
AndrewRogue: *he stands, shuddering as he turns away from the bed* "What?"
Chromeus18: (cut off your testicles and eat them)
Dark Japheth: "Ask for help. This isn't your burden alone to bear."
Dark Japheth: And you wake up.
Dark Japheth: And now the most creepy for last
Dark Japheth: BLIND DUDE
AndrewRogue: YES
Sarcazmo47: *puts on blind dude hat*
Dark Japheth: You mean the ray charles mask?
Dark Japheth: anyway.
Dark Japheth: You are pulled... to a very different crater this time. You feel almost pulled here. It is far north, and monstrous semi-intelligent spiders build civilizations
Dark Japheth: Small cities
Dark Japheth: And there is only one standing gate
Sarcazmo47: Nerubians?
Dark Japheth: broken, and battered...
Dark Japheth: Obviously nerubians and you are in Northrend
Sarcazmo47: Cool, cool.
Dark Japheth: the gate has the following words on it. "Arbeit Macht Frei". You don't speak dwarven, so it just sounds fucking badass.
Dark Japheth: Sitting behind the gate, about twenty feet, is the man you spoke with earlier, bearing his white porcelain mask.
Sarcazmo47: Interactive?
Dark Japheth: Sitting on a chair. There is one for you, too. And a chessboard set up in front of you.
Dark Japheth: Yes.
Sarcazmo47: "Hi, Grandpa."
Dark Japheth: "I gave you a name to call me."
Sarcazmo47: "Sorry, Old Scratch."
Dark Japheth: "I am not your grandfather... more like great great great great great grandfather."
Sarcazmo47: He seats himself.
Dark Japheth: He has two pieces in his hands. "White or black, Skocion?"
Sarcazmo47: "White, of course."
Dark Japheth: "Why of course? As if I'd know that about you."
Dark Japheth: "Besides, you are evil. I smell it on you, and see it in your eyes."
Dark Japheth: "I can almost taste the taint and corruption in your soul."
Sarcazmo47: Skocion narrows his eyes.
Dark Japheth: He smiles behind the mask.
Sarcazmo47: "Now, that's not a very nice thing to say."
Dark Japheth: "But it is true. Deny me that."
Sarcazmo47: "And anyway, why would I want to give up the initiative?"
Dark Japheth: "Unless you are so deluded by your faith that you honestly think to be light?"
Dark Japheth: "Aha."
Dark Japheth: "But you see, on your first move, you do not have the benefit of acting on my move."
Dark Japheth: He moves forward a pawn, idly.
Dark Japheth: And moves it back.
Sarcazmo47: "Oh, don't be religious, Scratch. Light, dark. Still an ant on a pawn, right?"
Dark Japheth: "You are the ant, yes."
Sarcazmo47: "Then whassit matter if they call me evil or not?"
Dark Japheth: "But. Why am I here now, again?"
Sarcazmo47: He moves a piece.
Dark Japheth: "Chaos theory."
Sarcazmo47: (Cause I gained a level!)
Dark Japheth: "Imagine it like this. Two drops of water land in exactly the same spot, two seconds after each other."
Sarcazmo47: Skocion nods and listens.
Dark Japheth: "But the first drop added some small bit of weight, and the second added more. And now, a great landslide occurs."
Dark Japheth: "Yet had they been one large splash, no mudslide. Just a huge freaking splash."
Dark Japheth: "Make sense?"
Sarcazmo47: Skocion shrugs.
Sarcazmo47: "I guess."
Sarcazmo47: "You gonna move?"
Dark Japheth: He moves a knight forward. "Don't push me."
Sarcazmo47: "I would never. Anyway, you know that girl, Niniel?"
Dark Japheth: "What of her? She still giving you problems?"
Sarcazmo47: "She's the daughter of Baron Merkava."
Dark Japheth: He laughs, and looks at you. "Now who told you that?"
Sarcazmo47: "She did."
Sarcazmo47: He moves another piece.
Dark Japheth: The old man, yet impossibly young man, moves forward another piece. "She's a liar, you know."
Sarcazmo47: "Well, most people are."
Sarcazmo47: "But I think she's telling the truth about that one."
Dark Japheth: "No, she isn't."
Sarcazmo47: "Oh."
Sarcazmo47: He brings out a bishop.
Sarcazmo47: "Why not?"
Dark Japheth: The old man responds in turn, pulling out his own bishop. "She has a lot to hide from you all."
Dark Japheth: "And for a good reason, too."
Sarcazmo47: "What reason? We're not even dangerous, Scratch."
Dark Japheth: "You think you aren't."
Sarcazmo47: He makes a risky move with his bishop. "I mean, she knows my people better than I do. What do you think she really wants?"
Sarcazmo47: He blinks.
Dark Japheth: "Landus."
Dark Japheth: He moves with his knight, eliminating the bishop.
Sarcazmo47: "And if she's not the daughter of Baron Merkava, how does she know about me?"
Sarcazmo47: Skocion curses when he loses the bishop, and pulls out his own knight.
Dark Japheth: "Her father was great and powerful, though she lies about him frequently."
Dark Japheth: "And his power passed on to her when she was concieved."
Dark Japheth: "She has few limitations. I would seek to discover her limitations, if I were alive."
Sarcazmo47: "But WHY does she want Landus? Who does she work for? Dammit, Scratch. Why are people I can't deal with interested in us? They shouldn't even know about us."
Dark Japheth: "They shouldn't, yet they do. How does that make you feel?" Old Scratch castles.
Sarcazmo47: "It pisses me off."
Sarcazmo47: He moves in on Scratch's knight.
Dark Japheth: "Why? You shouldn't need to hide what you are."
Dark Japheth: "And they understand and know who you are, yet keep up your masquerade."
Sarcazmo47: "Ants get squished awful easily."
Dark Japheth: "Thats loyalty from strangers. Wasn't common in my day."
Dark Japheth: "No. They don't. Not by other ants."
Dark Japheth: He moves his knight inexplicably towards danger, an obvious set up.
Sarcazmo47: Skocion takes it anyway.
Dark Japheth: To which immediately, the bishop in line annihilates the pawn, and places you in check.
Sarcazmo47: "I dunno, Scratch. I thought I was doing something smart. Keeping out of sight."
Dark Japheth: "For your time, it is exceptionally smart."
Dark Japheth: "Our enemies have grown in strength."
Sarcazmo47: Skocion castles.
AndrewRogue: (You can't castle out of check. </anal>)
Sarcazmo47: Fine, he cheats.
Dark Japheth: (I know. But the old man isn't going to bring it up. He appreciates cheating.)
Dark Japheth: And The Old Man (tm) moves back into a defensive position.
Dark Japheth: "But. No matter how hard you try to hide, the manipulator's mask always falls."
Sarcazmo47: "Our enemies? You're dead, Scratch. You have enemies?"
Dark Japheth: "Greel's hand is always found manipulating the government, and Karnage's hand manipulating greel."
Dark Japheth: "Its hard to get past the fact that I'm dead."
Dark Japheth: "So pardon me if I still speak as though my ancient enemies, and your current enemies, are one and the same, and I refer to them as still being my enemies."
Sarcazmo47: Skocion nods and gets aggressive again.
Sarcazmo47: "Okay. So if I can't stay hidden, then I need to find out who my enemies are. Right?"
Dark Japheth: "Correct." Scratch moves his pawns forward, not risking valuable pieces.. it seems.
Sarcazmo47: "How?"
Dark Japheth: "I should like to think that they remain as predictable in your time as they were in mine."
Dark Japheth: "Although in your case..."
Sarcazmo47: "What, I have a special case? Oh, fucking great."
Dark Japheth: "You might never truly find out. And the moment you do, the epiphany could be erased from your mind."
Dark Japheth: "You chose your allegiance. You might not have known the troubles or implications thereof."
Sarcazmo47: "Well, hell."
Dark Japheth: "But your master is a fool for what he does to his followers."
Dark Japheth: "Exactly."
Sarcazmo47: "So what do you suggest?"
Dark Japheth: "Liberation. Freedom. Betrayal."
Sarcazmo47: Skocion finally commits to a violent attack down both sides of the board.
Dark Japheth: "Betrayal, of course, might be the most poignant."
Sarcazmo47: "That one is more likely to get me dead than any of the others."
Dark Japheth: To which the old man forcefully pushes down the center, getting a bishop and knight in unlodgeable places, defended well, right in the middle.
Dark Japheth: "Not if you can find the person I adored more than anything else in my lifetime."
Sarcazmo47: "Who was that?"
Dark Japheth: "She would most assuredly help you. But for how long?"
Dark Japheth: "Now if I told you, I'd be no better than your cruel master."
Sarcazmo47: "Well, where can I find her?"
Dark Japheth: He smiles as he finally places you in checkmate. "You already have."
Dark Japheth: And you wake up.
Sarcazmo47: Gah!
Dark Japheth: *likes the mysterious old man chess player*
Dark Japheth: Simply because he doesn't fucking answer ANY of your questions.
Dark Japheth: :P
AndrewRogue: Go go question evasion!
Sarcazmo47: Not even a LITTLE.
Sarcazmo47: Old bastard.
Chromeus18: haha
Sarcazmo47: Skocion is a lot more of a smartass dreaming than he is awake.
Dark Japheth: Chrome, say not a SINGLE WORD. :P
Dark Japheth: Got it?
Sarcazmo47: Technical question.
Chromeus18: what would i know?
Sarcazmo47: There are Nerubians in Amaryllis?
Dark Japheth: What is said technical question?
coughingpuppy: Okay, I'm headed to bed. 'Night, guys.
Dark Japheth: Not anymore.
AndrewRogue: Night Staci
Dark Japheth: Good night.
coughingpuppy has left the room.
AndrewRogue: And what are Nerubians?
Dark Japheth: A race in WCIII.
Dark Japheth: Sentient spider things
Dark Japheth: became the undead crypt fiends
AndrewRogue: Crypt Fien... yeah
Dark Japheth: when Ner'zhul corrupted htem
Dark Japheth: But
Dark Japheth: No, there aren't.
Dark Japheth: They are technically Aranea's
Chromeus18: i'm off too, gotta be up early to kick some hurricane ass.
Dark Japheth: lol
Sarcazmo47: Righto.
AndrewRogue: Go Chrome!
Dark Japheth: Beat Charlies ass!
Chromeus18: later folks
Dark Japheth: init for hurricane
Sarcazmo47: Techincally Aranea's?
*OnlineHost*: Dark Japheth rolled 1 20-sided die: 11
Dark Japheth: You know what an Aranea is, yes?
Sarcazmo47: No.
Chromeus18: *wields a +5 dagger against statewide storms!
Dark Japheth: Ah
Dark Japheth: Imagine a spider
Chromeus18 has left the room.
Dark Japheth: not humanoid, but a spider the size of... say.. a large dog
Dark Japheth: like a good german shepherd
Dark Japheth: They have two forms- Human, and Hybrid
Dark Japheth: They are master spellcasters, and so on
Dark Japheth: And you saw them.
AndrewRogue: Oriental Adventures!
Dark Japheth: Now, the few that exist hide that fact
Dark Japheth: and yes, this means there is a race of sorcerors out there with spider bloodlines.
Dark Japheth: :P
AndrewRogue: *imagines*
AndrewRogue: *shudders*
Dark Japheth: "Check out my thorax, baby."
Dark Japheth: Any other questions I should field before I go to sleep?
Sarcazmo47: Okay.
Sarcazmo47: Do they still exist?
Sarcazmo47: Or are they long dead?
Dark Japheth: The civilization is long dead.
Dark Japheth: We are talking... four or five thousand years long dead.
Dark Japheth: but there are a few individual ones.
Dark Japheth: Not public ones, but regardless.
Sarcazmo47: Andrew.
Sarcazmo47: You putting this on the website?
AndrewRogue: If someone can toss me logs 2,3,4 I'll do it tomorrow
Dark Japheth: For the record, they had three castes- the Hunters (who eventually became Phase Spiders), the Reality Weavers (who are araneas) and the Warriors (who were Iron Golems in the shape of a spider).
Dark Japheth: I have log 2.
Dark Japheth: I think.
AndrewRogue: As far as I know, the only thing I have to worry about tomorrow is continuing to pack so I should have plenty of free time to screw with things.
Dark Japheth: You going anywhere fun?
AndrewRogue: Moving to Berkeley
Dark Japheth: If you say college, I'll beat you for fucking advancing further than I have in life
Dark Japheth: Go on.... say it!
Dark Japheth: SAY IT
Sarcazmo47: Too late.
Sarcazmo47: You have to beat him.
Sarcazmo47: *hands Gorth a stick*
AndrewRogue: Eh... I do it because I'm incapable of handling actual life yet <_<
Dark Japheth: FUCK THAT
Dark Japheth: *takes a baby*
Dark Japheth: *rips off its legs*
Dark Japheth: *JAMS BABIES LEGS THROUGH ANDREW'S EYES*
AndrewRogue: Owwww.
AndrewRogue: My eyes
Dark Japheth: Hey, Kirk? What do you get when you throw a baby down the stairs?
Sarcazmo47: LMFAI
Sarcazmo47: OH GOD
Sarcazmo47: You just made me and Staci laugh so hard we hacked up a lung.
Sarcazmo47: Each.
Dark Japheth: Huzzah
AndrewRogue: Switch lungs!
Sarcazmo47: What do you get?
Dark Japheth: A boner!
Dark Japheth: Anyway.
Dark Japheth: Knock knock.
Sarcazmo47: NO ONE LIKES YOUR JOKES
Sarcazmo47: HAHAHAHA
Sarcazmo47: Who's there?
Dark Japheth: Not me, cause I'm going to fucking bed! (and that hurt me inside. :-()
Dark Japheth has left the room.
AndrewRogue: *chuckles*
Sarcazmo47: Okay, guesses on Skocion's background.
AndrewRogue: Grrr...
AndrewRogue: Clearly he was related to someone moderately important.
AndrewRogue: I'd say he's at keast indirectly related to someone who was at least tangentially involved with the WoL
AndrewRogue: Its... tough to identify though. The figure of Scratch is pretty ambiguous.
Sarcazmo47: Who do you think he works for?
AndrewRogue: I'd say Skocion is definitely blue blooded though.
AndrewRogue: As far as who he works for... a church isn't it?
Sarcazmo47: How do you figure?
AndrewRogue: Welllll... aside from you saying it originally, I draw conjecture from Scratch's statements regarding Skoc's faith, the treatment of his master to his followers, etc
Sarcazmo47: Arr.'
Sarcazmo47: Well, sleepytime.
Sarcazmo47 has left the room.
