You have just entered room "Chat 17502372642831787167."

AndrewRogue: *kicks AIM* By the way. I shall now randomnly recommend the Original Broadway Casting of Les Miserables Soundtrack, because I adore it <_<

Dark Japheth: Aha

Dark Japheth: Meanwhile, I shall recommend a single song

Dark Japheth: Men Without Hats- The Safety Dance!

Dark Japheth: You can dance if you want to, leaving all your friends behind, but if you won't dance then you're no friends of mine!

AndrewRogue: You can dance if you want, you can leave your friends behind

AndrewRogue: Damn. I got beated.

Dark Japheth: Heh

Dark Japheth: Story of the moment- A Dark Dream

Dark Japheth: Song of the moment- the Hustle

AndrewRogue: Do do do dododo

Dark Japheth: You win

Dark Japheth: lol

AndrewRogue: YAY!

AndrewRogue: What's my prize?

Dark Japheth: Uhhh

Dark Japheth: You get to play D&D tonight!

AndrewRogue: Yay!

AndrewRogue: Oh. Hey. Today's the 13th.

Dark Japheth: Hmm

Dark Japheth: Tempted to now call my ex, just to prove that Friday the thirteenth sucks for everyone

AndrewRogue: Actually... nothing bad has happened to me.

Dark Japheth: Want to know the coolest thing I've ever pseudo-said?

AndrewRogue: Whaaaat?

Dark Japheth: "No more being tied down to a woman who didn’t even think enough of you to LIVE to your wedding day." --Gorthaur

Dark Japheth: A forum member at one of the places I go to wrote a fanfic thing sorta about all the forum members

AndrewRogue: ...

AndrewRogue: ...heh

AndrewRogue: Ehhehehehe

Dark Japheth: what would happen if the powers of their ego and their personalities were placed in another world, a fantasy world, where bad things happen.

Dark Japheth: Of course

Dark Japheth: I'm a twisted, intelligent badguy

AndrewRogue: BWAHAHAHA!

Dark Japheth: A master of flames (mwahahaha, forum flame wars used to be my specialty)

Dark Japheth: And then I started a dark cult

Dark Japheth: The Cruel Gorthaurists. A dark and wicked cult dedicated to the exultation of Me.

Dark Japheth: Its freaking incredible how down-pat he's got me if I were really placed into a world with incredible powers and no limitations.

AndrewRogue: XD

Dark Japheth: For fun

Dark Japheth: I'll do the low-down on my cult.

Dark Japheth: At the lowest position.. there is a cult called the Kine

Dark Japheth: The Kine are basically zombies.

AndrewRogue: Brains?

Dark Japheth: Regular folks, I killed em and ate their hearts.

Dark Japheth: No. Completely and utterly subservient to my Kine Priests.

Dark Japheth: The Kine Priests control them completely, almost in a hive-mind state.

Dark Japheth: like Cerebrates and their overlords controlling the zergling hordes

Dark Japheth: Then we have the High Priests

Dark Japheth: they are subservient only to their dark god and creator. They control the Kine Priests, and they have the ability to force the Kine to get up and keep fighting

Dark Japheth: No matter how many pieces the kine have been cut into

Dark Japheth: There are three high priests- Neeber, an ice mage/enchanter style fellow, who often sends shards of ice sailing through members of the kine (who cares, he'll just rezz em afterwords!)

Dark Japheth: Chromeus, who is the Weaponsmith, making incredible weapons, such as his Sacrificial Dagger (tm) which is used to conduct sacrifices (turning people into Kine, or exceptional people into High Priests)

Dark Japheth: Lavos, my second in command, who is a master of telekinesis and illusions, and in one instant, he cloned himself in a way, stepping apart from himself and then double-teaming someone

Dark Japheth: And of course, their dark God, Gorthaur the Cruel

AndrewRogue: XD

Dark Japheth: Who personally ate the hearts of Neeber, Chromeus, and Lavos

Dark Japheth: bearer of the Stone of Hatred, which amplifies his mastery over flames and fire and makes him... well... nigh-godlike.

Dark Japheth: http://www.rpg-dreams.com/showthread.ph p?t=172

Dark Japheth: Here, a link to the newest chapters, where my awesomeness is revealed

AndrewRogue: Heh!

Dark Japheth: I kidnap a girl, Spooky's amazonian girlfriend.

Dark Japheth: And announce my impending marriage

Dark Japheth: KNOWING they will come to her rescue.

Dark Japheth: Seeming rescue

Dark Japheth: I open a portal, the Nameless one (a useless demon tentacled hentai fan's dream, with a single gaping eye

Dark Japheth: and maw

Dark Japheth: Tentacled beastie comes from portal, attempts to eat erin.

Dark Japheth: Group saves her.

Dark Japheth: Cannot close portal.

Dark Japheth: Tentacle reaches out and grabs ONE OF THE OTHER AMAZONS, ARWEN

Dark Japheth: and suck her into the portal

Dark Japheth: Now, semi-randomly

Dark Japheth: that was the entire point of the get-together

Dark Japheth: was to get Arwen

Dark Japheth: and get my demon to capture her

Dark Japheth: >.>

AndrewRogue: Yay!

Dark Japheth: Arwen, by the way, is perhaps singularly the most beautiful name for a girl

Dark Japheth: ever.

Dark Japheth: I will name my first daughter Arwen

AndrewRogue: Ehhhh... it sounds nice. I'm just a bigger fan of vowel endings <_<

Dark Japheth: Like Jasmine?

Dark Japheth: :P

AndrewRogue: Eh... s'alright

Dark Japheth: heh.

Dark Japheth: Since everyone seems to be gone

Dark Japheth: Kirk was supposed to be here a half hour ago

Dark Japheth: You want a solo scene?

AndrewRogue: Me?

Dark Japheth: No, the other person who is actively chatting in the room.

Dark Japheth: :P

AndrewRogue: <_<

AndrewRogue: >_>

AndrewRogue: Suuuure. Its not like I'm doing anything but sitting here grooving to Les Miserables.

Dark Japheth: Heh

Dark Japheth: Alright.

Dark Japheth: Before I do so

Dark Japheth: I will tell you of the Adam theory.

AndrewRogue: Yay theories!

Dark Japheth: Adam, the first man, must have been an exceptionally beautiful man

Dark Japheth: Otherwise...

Dark Japheth: How would one account for David Bowie?

Dark Japheth: ~-~-~Begin Dream Sequence~-~-~

Dark Japheth: Ack

Dark Japheth: *solo

AndrewRogue: ...wait. I didn't get it.

AndrewRogue: <_<

Dark Japheth: Niniel lay next to you, clothed, and turns to you, her brown eyes shining inside with light, almost.

Dark Japheth: You don't know David Bowie, and for that, I forgive you. But only slightly, because you get my country music references

Dark Japheth: Her wings are wrapped about her like a cloak, and she gazes at you. "Well?"

AndrewRogue: *clears his throat a bit awkwardly* "Sleep well? Feeling better now?"

Dark Japheth: "I slept well.

Dark Japheth: "I know you did not, though. Care to talk about it?"

AndrewRogue: "Eh heh... I dream too much these days."

AndrewRogue: "If you really wanna know though... I dreamed I got a cure straight from the gods."

Dark Japheth: "I know."

Dark Japheth: "I meant..."

Dark Japheth: "Care to talk about your feelings?"

AndrewRogue: *raises an eyebrow* "Do I talk that much in my sleep, or do you just have some way to know what I'm dreaming?"

Dark Japheth: She smiles. "The latter."

AndrewRogue: *he chuckles* "Good to know that. So then, was that you yourself in my dream, or was I just putting you there because I could?"

Dark Japheth: "Now that I won't be so honest about."

Dark Japheth: "You want a lie, or unhelpful silence?"

AndrewRogue: "Unhelpful silence. Its no fun if I know you're lying."

Dark Japheth: "Ok." She shuts up.

AndrewRogue: *he sighs as he stands up* "Why can't she get an easy cure?"

Dark Japheth: "Easy is the path of Karnage."

Dark Japheth: "Karnage is dead."

Dark Japheth: "There is an even easier miracle cure, though."

Dark Japheth: "That won't kill her."

AndrewRogue: "What's that?" *he doesn't sound particularly enthused*

Dark Japheth: "Didn't I already tell you?" She has a mysterious smile.

AndrewRogue: *cocks his head slightly* "Not... that I recall. Unless you refer to me 'doing the hardest thing in the world.'"

Dark Japheth: "Its difficult to swallow your pride."

Dark Japheth: "Ask Skocion. And ask him to ask his 'friends'. They'll tell you the truth."

Dark Japheth: "But once its done, its easy."

Dark Japheth: "You can't fix it."

Dark Japheth: brb

AndrewRogue: *he's silent for a long moment* "Does boss really have friends like that? He knowss some odd fellas, sure, but..." *he trails off,biting his lip in though*

AndrewRogue: *knows, <space after comma>, thought

AndrewRogue: (*kicks his ability to type*)

Sarcazmo47: Kids.

Sarcazmo47: Bill >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>> j00.

AndrewRogue: Heh

Dark Japheth: Niniel's only answer is resounding silence and an all knowing smile.

AndrewRogue: "Maybe I will have to have a little chat with boss." *he stretches idly* "Why do I interest you anyway?"

Dark Japheth: She rolls over and exhales deeply. "Why do I have to have a reason?"

AndrewRogue: *he chuckles* "I suppose you don't have to."

Dark Japheth: SHe sits up, and smiles. "Go back to sleep." She rolls a cigarette quickly, and lights it. "You need it. Another two hours or so until daylight."

Dark Japheth: "Think about what I said?"

AndrewRogue: *he sits back down and closes his eyes* "That I will Nin, that I will."

AndrewRogue: "It probably wouldn't hurt you to sleep more either though. I can't imagine the way you fell asleep was comfortable." *afterthought... and his breathing falls into that steady pace of a sleeper*

Dark Japheth: "If only you knew." And...

Dark Japheth: ~-~-~BEGIN ACTUAL GAME SESSION~-~-~

Dark Japheth: Everyone ready?

coughingpuppy: Yeah. I don't want to stay up too late, though, because I have to get up kind of early tomorrow morning.

Dark Japheth: How late is too late?

Dark Japheth: I.e. "exactly how much time do we have?"

coughingpuppy: Hm...I'd like to go to bed in a couple of hours.

Dark Japheth: Two?

coughingpuppy: Yeah, around then.

AndrewRogue: Well then, leeeet's go!

Dark Japheth: Alrighty!

Dark Japheth: Niniel is among you all again, outside by the stables, getting ready to leave. She is not dressed in the bodice and schmis, but rather, a long flowing robe.

Dark Japheth: Its color is an indistinct dark grey.

AndrewRogue: *is out doing his standard work out routine, waiting on Skoc and Rii to finish packing*

coughingpuppy: Riannon finishes packing pretty quickly and heads out to join them at the stables.

Sarcazmo47: With the packing and the horsing yes.

Dark Japheth: And do you ride on?

Sarcazmo47: Hi-ho AWAY!

coughingpuppy: Indeed.

Sarcazmo47: So, does Landus have questions during the ride?

coughingpuppy: Riannon's a little quiet and seems sleepy while she walks.

AndrewRogue: Gasp... he does in fact. He gets up near Skoc... "Hey boss... can I bother ya a sec?"

Sarcazmo47: Skocion slows his pace a bit and leans toward Landus.

Sarcazmo47: "Of course. What's on your mind?"

AndrewRogue: "I was... uh... wondering if you had any more friends like that herbalist guy?"

AndrewRogue: *its a bit... hesitant*

Sarcazmo47: Skocion blinks. "Like in what way?"

Sarcazmo47: "I don't know any other talismongers, if that's what you mean."

AndrewRogue: "Eh heh... folks who know a bit about strange diseases, that sort of thing?"

Sarcazmo47: Skocion shakes his head. "Alexander mentioned the man he was apprenticed to...we might seek his advice. Otherwise, I know of no one else that specializes in the field."

Dark Japheth: Niniel smiles.

AndrewRogue: *bites his teeth a bit awkwardly* "I... of course wanna check out that lead. But you don't know any weird mages or clerics or something?"

Sarcazmo47: Skocion blinks again and doesn't speak for a moment.

Sarcazmo47: Then he says, almost reluctantly, "I know a few clerics."

Dark Japheth: At this, Niniel breaks into open laughter.

Sarcazmo47: "But I thought you said clerical magic had proved useless?"

Sarcazmo47: Skocion actually turns a bit and looks at Niniel when she starts laughing.

Sarcazmo47: "What's got your goat, my dear?"

Dark Japheth: She smiles. "Nothing. I had figured one as well connected as you would know more than a 'few' clerics."

AndrewRogue: *sighs and mutters quietly*

*OnlineHost*: Sarcazmo47 rolled 1 20-sided die: 8

Sarcazmo47: 9 listen!

*OnlineHost*: Dark Japheth rolled 1 20-sided die: 14

Sarcazmo47: "I don't spend a great deal of time associating with the pious." He grins a bit.

Dark Japheth: 20 listen!

Dark Japheth: "I would figure they'd be anathema to one of your urges. Materialistic."

coughingpuppy: "You don't strike me as that pious a guy anyway."

Sarcazmo47: Skocion grins at that.

AndrewRogue: *chuckles*

Sarcazmo47: "I'm familiar with a well-meaning if somewhat.....simple...cleric of Luthien, and a few others."

Sarcazmo47: "If that is an angle you wish to pursue, Landus, then I will be happy to offer what assistance I can."

coughingpuppy: "If I knew more, Landus, I'd try to help you out. I'll ask around in druid circles if we see any along the way."

coughingpuppy: "Herbalism's not my thing, but a lot of druids know plenty about it."

AndrewRogue: "Eh heh... heh... thank ya both."

Sarcazmo47: Skocion dismisses Landus's thanks as unnecessary with a wave of his hand, and rides on.

Dark Japheth: This night, you will have to camp.

Sarcazmo47: CAMP'D

coughingpuppy: Riannon is okay with that.

AndrewRogue: (One sec. BRB)

Dark Japheth: The great city can be seen, but only due to its low elevation.

Dark Japheth: And extreme distance.

AndrewRogue: (Back)

Sarcazmo47: Okay.

Sarcazmo47: Skocion takes first watch again.

AndrewRogue: "What watch you want Rii?"

coughingpuppy: "Second's fine, I guess."

AndrewRogue: "Eh heh... good. Third's always easiest."

Dark Japheth: "I'll take last."

coughingpuppy: "Just wake me up when you're done, Skocion." Riannon is quickly asleep.

Sarcazmo47: Skocion nods, and watching dirt commences.

AndrewRogue: *finds a comfortable place to lay out*

Dark Japheth: Not watching dirt. The man is blind.

Dark Japheth: Your shift passes relatively uneventfully.

Dark Japheth: Ri- spot and listen check.

*OnlineHost*: coughingpuppy rolled 2 20-sided dice: 18 13

coughingpuppy: 26 spot, 20 listen.

Dark Japheth: Nice.

Dark Japheth: However, there is nothing TO spot

Dark Japheth: and therefore, you see nothing.

Dark Japheth: But you do hear Niniel's soft breathing. She seems to be singing, almost, in her sleep.

coughingpuppy: Riannon frowns at her and tries to hear what it is she's singing.

Dark Japheth: Her lips mumble out words to an unfamiliar tune.

Dark Japheth: "...the pines were roaring on the heights.."

Dark Japheth: "the winds were moaning in the night"

coughingpuppy: She sighs almost inaudibly. Great. More poetry.

Dark Japheth: "the fire was red, it flaming spread, the trees like torches blazed with light!"

Dark Japheth: The song, after that, seems to go into incoherent mumblings.

coughingpuppy: She decides to ask her about it when she wakes up, and returns her attention to the surrounding wood.

Dark Japheth: (100 XP or a SECRET OF AMARYLLIS REVEALED IN CHARACTER if someone can tell me the source of that little line.)

Dark Japheth: Landus, your shift.

Dark Japheth: Spot and Listen.

*OnlineHost*: AndrewRogue rolled 2 20-sided dice: 8 7

AndrewRogue: 19 and 15

Dark Japheth: Nope, nothing big happens.

Dark Japheth: Niniel wakes up for her shift, and continues pacing along.

Dark Japheth: But nothing happens. And she wakes everyone up, a full hour ahead of schedule. "Get up, all of you. If we want to get in without any questions, we need to be in before sunrise."

Sarcazmo47: Skocion rises without much complain, and quickly prepares to leave.

coughingpuppy: Riannon also gets up without saying much, though Brom is a little harder to prod awake, and gets her equipment together.

AndrewRogue: *leaps up and moves through an exceptional brief exercise pattern*

Sarcazmo47: Brom, the Rotund Badger!

Dark Japheth: Niniel saddles up her horse, and rides onward.

coughingpuppy: "You remember another poem at all, Niniel?"

Dark Japheth: "What? I know lots of poems, and songs. Kind of in my line of work.

coughingpuppy: "Nah. I meant from sleeping last night. You kept talking in your sleep, and it sounded like the poems we've been getting lately."

Dark Japheth: "I talked in my sleep? What did I say?"

coughingpuppy: ((Do I need a check to remember the specific lines?))

Dark Japheth: No.

coughingpuppy: She repeats the lines, then, fairly accurately.

Dark Japheth: "Ah. A bit of a poem, a ballad of the dragon."

Sarcazmo47: O JESUS CHRIST

Sarcazmo47: SHE'S A FREAKING BARD?!

Sarcazmo47: :'(

AndrewRogue: (Best. Reaction. Ever.) *listens in idly*

coughingpuppy: Riannon grins. "And you always sing them in your sleep?"

coughingpuppy: ((Hey, remember the Orog.))

Sarcazmo47: Arcane healing....songs.....

Sarcazmo47: ANYWAY

Dark Japheth: "No, I must have been distressed."

coughingpuppy: "Huh. Okay."

Dark Japheth: As you arrive at the gate, slightly before sunrise... two armored angels, almost, look at you.

coughingpuppy: ((Most of my other characters would have SMed that...))

Dark Japheth: They are standing at the gate, cloaked in their great wings- well, one is. The other seems almost elven in nature, haughty, her bow at her back, and her longsword in her hand.

Sarcazmo47: Skocion dismounts his horse, dressed in his best finery.

Sarcazmo47: He's oh-so-ready for this.

Dark Japheth: Both appear as cruel angels, with vicious serrated blades. Their armor, though only chain, has many barbs- as though it were made of barbed wire. Each has a cruelly identical scar on the right side of their cheek.

Dark Japheth: They look at you. "What is your purpose in this city, Dark one?" Their eyes are inscrutable, in the shadows, only black can be seen.

Sarcazmo47: He's got the cape, the hat, his hair is combed, his gold-inlaid black steel staff in hand,. Oh, baby. He looks good.

Sarcazmo47: And he smiles.

AndrewRogue: *assumes the lackey/guard/seeing eye harpy position*

Sarcazmo47: "Good morning, ladies. I am here as a messenger."

Dark Japheth: "A messenger? What message to you carry, and to whom?"

Sarcazmo47: "The message is meant for the ears of Lady Melanie Bloodarch, among others."

Dark Japheth: Niniel seems plain and drab in the slight drizzle, the moonlight shining not at all on her features. Her black horse, though, whinnies and neighs at the scene.

Sarcazmo47: Skocion EXUDES confidence. From his pores. The rest of you are quite certain this is the hardest you've ever seen him try to be charming.

Dark Japheth: "Our queen? She who has been chosen by the Dark Mother herself to lead all of Amaryllis into a new dark age under the blood moon?" The woman smiles. "I'm afraid until I hear the message, I cannot let you in."

Sarcazmo47: Skocion taps his fingers on his staff.

Sarcazmo47: He looks like he might be thinking.

Dark Japheth: The woman narrows her eyes, staring at Skocion. "If you cannot tell me the message exactly, what is the nature of the message?"

Dark Japheth: The woman chuckles.

Dark Japheth: Niniel only sighs, and shakes her head.

Sarcazmo47: "It is a message of dire importance regarding the safety of your queen."

Sarcazmo47: He grins widely.

Sarcazmo47: And Gorthypoo died.

Sarcazmo47: I should stop calling him that.

Dark Japheth: :P

Dark Japheth: Yes.

Dark Japheth: the woman looks...shocked. "...You are not lying."

Sarcazmo47: Skcoion just keeps grinning.

Dark Japheth: "Very well. You may pass. Who are your companions?"

Sarcazmo47: He gestures in turn. "This is Landus, my eyes. This is Krist, my bodyguard. This is Riannon, my guide, and this is Niniel, my entertainment."

Dark Japheth: Niniel looks at you with a glare of hate.

Dark Japheth: "We know niniel!" the women laugh. "Allow them in."

Sarcazmo47: His smile is wide and self-satisfied without quite being repugnant.

Dark Japheth: As she passes, their hands on their blades twitch, almost in anticipation.

Sarcazmo47: And Skocion leads them in.

AndrewRogue: *watches those two very carefully*

Dark Japheth: Niniel extends a familiar sign language gesture, one of the middle finger upraised. They look to her with hate.

Dark Japheth: The sun rises quickly after, and the two guards are changed out, to be replaced with brawnier, nastier looking women.

coughingpuppy: Riannon frowns at Niniel. "Hey, I don't think we ought to tempt these guys, huh?"

Dark Japheth: Both wielding axes, and not bearing any of the subtle beauty.

Dark Japheth: "They are intent on pissing me off. Additionally, I know they can't harm me."

Sarcazmo47: Skocion speaks without looking back, maintaining a positively regal bearing.

Sarcazmo47: "Maintain respect. If you want to be alive when you leave these walls."

Dark Japheth: Niniel looks at you. "is that a threat?"

Sarcazmo47: And he leads on to what I would assume is obviously the palace/charnel house.

Sarcazmo47: "Not to me. And I was speaking to Riannon."

coughingpuppy: "I'm respectful!"

Sarcazmo47: Skocion just grins.

AndrewRogue: "Eh heh... so you got any masterful plans if things turn bad boss?"

Sarcazmo47: Skocion laughs.

Sarcazmo47: "They turned bad six days ago. This is plan B, remember?"

Dark Japheth: "Here, the inns double as brothels. If you are in to that sort of thing, go for it. Otherwise, the 'cleanest' place to stay is at one of the churches."

Dark Japheth: "There are a few here, mostly dedicated to Shaitan, Sakhmet, Arwen, and a few of the other deities aligned with Hell."

Dark Japheth: "Do you have any connections among them, Skocion?"

AndrewRogue: *smiles* "Plesant place."

Sarcazmo47: "A few."

Dark Japheth: "I should most certainly hope."

Dark Japheth: The great city is resplendent in glory. The road is paved with cobblestone, the rain lightly drizzling on it.

Dark Japheth: If any of you have been here before, you should know- it always rains here in Rivas Kul.

Dark Japheth: At least a light rain.

AndrewRogue: *bunches his headband a bit to keep the rain from falling into his eyes*

coughingpuppy: Riannon mostly ignores the rain.

Sarcazmo47: Skocion relies on his huge freaking hat.

Sarcazmo47: And so...yeah.

Sarcazmo47: To the Palace/Temple Of Sahkmet/brothel!

Dark Japheth: Heh.

Dark Japheth: At the gate, there are four armed guards. You are noticing an odd trend, here- everyone who appears in any position of authority has a single scar across their right cheek.

Dark Japheth: It goes from their forehead to the bottom of their chin, crossing the eye but never damaging it.

AndrewRogue: *notes it. Its interesting*

Dark Japheth: In almost all cases, it is the only mar on their exceptional beauty. They stop you at the entrance. "What is your purpose here within the temple, He-Who-Sees-Not-That-Which-Is?"

Sarcazmo47: "I bear a message."

Dark Japheth: "What is thy...." the women stop, and one points to Niniel. "No. You may pass."

Sarcazmo47: Skocion inclines his head and proceeds inside.

Dark Japheth: "Enter freely. Bear no arms against Melanie lest the wrath of Sakhmet strike you from where you stand, Servitor of Tyranny and Injustice."

Dark Japheth: You all pass inside.

Dark Japheth: And you... are... somewhat shocked, somewhat disturbed by the paintings and sculptures.

Sarcazmo47: I'm not!

Dark Japheth: All detail glorious lust, being evoked in horrific ways. Some are unholy pairings of man and beast, others child and old, some yet are the worser still sins of lying with many at a time.

Sarcazmo47: Orgytastic!

Dark Japheth: The altar shows a glorious image of Sakhmet, a tall and dark woman with straight hair and two jet wings, almost those of pigeons, extending from her back.

Sarcazmo47: It's Heffner's Mansion!

Dark Japheth: She is unclad save in robes, opened down the center to show cleavage but no more.

AndrewRogue: "Eh heh heh... interesting, uh, art they keep boss."

Dark Japheth: Her eyes and arms are upturned, and a large sized person could probably lay in her arms.

Sarcazmo47: "You appreciate their decor, Landus?"

Dark Japheth: There are no males within this church, but various women are here for various reasons. Some pray for the annihilation of a child inside them, a child of lust or rape.

coughingpuppy: Riannon is looking at it in distaste, but not commenting.

Sarcazmo47: Divine abortion. Now, THAT'S new.

AndrewRogue: XD

Dark Japheth: Others pray for revenge. And the worst of all are those who pray for the eternal darkness of Sakhmet to annihilate souls of those who displease them.

Dark Japheth: Divine Abortion- level 2

Dark Japheth: 2d6 fetal damage

Dark Japheth: anyway

AndrewRogue: "Eh... wouldn't want it in my flat."

Sarcazmo47: Skocion just keeps going, lest he lose momentum and get himself and everyone killed.

Dark Japheth: Niniel sighs and shakes her head. "Now if you were the priestess of Sakhmet, the highest and holiest of this religion, near worshipped as a god by other servants of the Dark Brood Queen, where would you be?"

Dark Japheth: Numerous doors open to confessionals, which aren't really confessionals. You notice that, ineffably, there are a few males around here. Most are scantily clad, and ALL have some dark feature about them.

Dark Japheth: No pupils in their black eyes, some with cloven feet, others with tiny horns protruding from their head, and some with great wings composed entirely of glass and blood in horrifying fashion.

Dark Japheth: The confessionals, naturally, are where these males hide out, and seek women, hoping for a 'clientele' but willing to settle on randomly grabbing women when they aren't pleased frequently.

AndrewRogue: *keeps up a slight nervous chuckle* "No idea Nin."

coughingpuppy: Riannon is refraining from commenting on the creepiness of the place.

Sarcazmo47: "I don't know. Where would I be, Niniel?"

AndrewRogue: (BRB)

Dark Japheth: "I'd be in one of those confessionals. If I was a whore."

Dark Japheth: "But we know nothing about her. Perhaps she is there. Perhaps she is off doing other, important things or people."

Dark Japheth: "One could ask around, I suppose."

coughingpuppy: "I bet somebody around here knows where to go. She probably has her own room here or something."

Dark Japheth: Niniel shudders again looking around at the place.

Sarcazmo47: "Or, presumeably, an audience chamber. Very well. Landus?"

AndrewRogue: "Yeah boss?"

Sarcazmo47: "Inquire, if you would be so kind. We will wait."

Dark Japheth: Niniel pulls her cloak tighter around her, and stands behind Riannon, and at least a hundred feet from the confessionals.

AndrewRogue: "Eh heh... sure thing." *stretches his wings out slightly to relieve them of a bit of water weight and find someone who liiks like thye might speak to him*

AndrewRogue: *like, they

Dark Japheth: There is a dark woman at the altar, sitting. She is preaching to a number of people in the pews- and you likely could bug one of them until they would speak to you.

AndrewRogue: *bothers a person near the back*

Dark Japheth: The woman, like all who seem to serve Sakhmet, is beautiful, and has dark hair. SHe looks at you. "Hey cutie. What do you need?"

Dark Japheth: She grins at you.

Sarcazmo47: BING BING BING HAPLESS DUPE DETECTED

AndrewRogue: "Hey, you know where we could find Lady Melanie Bloodarch by chance?"

Dark Japheth: "You couldn't hope to afford her."

AndrewRogue: *rolls eyes* "We got a message for her."

Dark Japheth: She laughs. "Like everyone else. All the nobles, too."

Dark Japheth: She then rolls her eyes.

Dark Japheth: "Just come off it. How much do you have, anyway, that you think you can afford the lady Bloodarch?"

Dark Japheth: "You might have hope with her daughters, but... you'd have to get both of them at once. It just isn't the same."

AndrewRogue: *he leans in close to her, smiling in an unnerving manner* "Loooook, I don't really care much how we find her. But from what I hear, I don't think she'd be very happy if I told her that a message pertaining to her safety was

Dark Japheth: "You and everyone else has a message pertaining to her safety."

AndrewRogue: delayed by some stupid whore who was concerned about me wanting to fuck her. We're here on buisness."

Dark Japheth: "You honor me with titles I didn't earn."

Sarcazmo47: What are the floors made of?

Dark Japheth: "Tell you what." She points at Skocion. "If you can get him to come here and succumb to my whims, I'll tell the Lady Sakhmet to meet you in the sitting room."

Dark Japheth: Marble.

Sarcazmo47: :-D

Sarcazmo47: Skocion starts rhythmically tapping his cane on the floor.

Sarcazmo47: Not very quickly.

Sarcazmo47: Once every few seconds.

coughingpuppy: "What're you doing, Skocion?"

Sarcazmo47: "Waiting."

Sarcazmo47: Tap.

coughingpuppy: "He'll be back."

AndrewRogue: "Loooook, boss ain't gonna succumb to your whims."

Sarcazmo47: I can only imagine how it rings against marble.

Dark Japheth: In the bustle and boom of the crowd, its mostly drowned out, but a few people hear you. One woman comes to you. "Please stop. I want it to be as quiet as possible when I ask the Dark Mother to bless me."

Sarcazmo47: Tap.

Sarcazmo47: "Ah. My apologies. When will she be arriving?"

Sarcazmo47: Tap.

Dark Japheth: Heh. The priestess looks at Landus. "...How about her?" She points to riannon. "She looks pretty fun, too."

coughingpuppy: "Skocion, that's driving me nuts."

AndrewRogue: *looks at her and smiles* "Thaaaat, can be arranged."

Dark Japheth: The woman looks at you. "S...she's a god. She doesn't deign to come here personally to talk with one such as me. I wish for fertility."

Dark Japheth: omfg. thats... fucking... hilarious

coughingpuppy: ((Dude...she will not be happy with you. :-P))

AndrewRogue: "I'll bring Rii-darling right over here to have fun with you."

Sarcazmo47: "Sorry, Riannon." Tap. Then, to the woman, "My apologies. Where can I find the Lady Bloodarch and her daughters?"

Dark Japheth: She looks at you like you are crazy. "I'm sorry. I don't know."

Sarcazmo47: He sighs.

Sarcazmo47: Tap.

Dark Japheth: THe priestess says "Nah, its ok. I'll go over there."

AndrewRogue: "Do you have any leopard skin? That's a sure fire way to get to share herself."

Sarcazmo47: :-D

Sarcazmo47: Landus, you're going to get us all killed.

Dark Japheth: The woman stands up, the scar on her face particularly cruel (it did not look like it was inflicted with something too fine, rather, jagged)

Dark Japheth: And she walks over to Riannon. "Who are you? Are you clean?" She looks up and down your face, and pokes you in the arm. "Not what I'm used to. You work out?"

Dark Japheth: (God, I fucking hate this entire church and wish it dead.)

AndrewRogue: (HAH!)

coughingpuppy: "Clean? What? And why the fuck are you poking my arm?" She rather hurriedly takes a step back and eyes the woman.

Sarcazmo47: Skocion taps the woman on the knee with his cane.

Dark Japheth: "Your friend over there said I could..."

Sarcazmo47: Taps, not hits.

coughingpuppy: "Said you could poke me?"

Dark Japheth: "Hi there." Her eyes flutter, and she takes your hand. "How can I help you, sir?"

AndrewRogue: (In a manner of speaking...)

Dark Japheth: (lmao)

Dark Japheth: "Nothing. Hi."

Sarcazmo47: "If you could guide me to the Lady Bloodarch and her daugthers, I would be very grateful."

Sarcazmo47: (Sexily grateful if you are so inclined)

Sarcazmo47: (Andrew and Staci get it.)

Dark Japheth: She's holding your hand. Her hand wiggles in yours.

Dark Japheth: (I do not, but I do not care to know. This entire church creeps me out, and I'm the DM.)

Sarcazmo47: Read Something Awful.

AndrewRogue: *manages to keep a straight face this entire time*

Dark Japheth: She pouts. "Rush? Fine. But I'll wait here."

Sarcazmo47: He flashes the woman a gleaming-toothed grin.

coughingpuppy: Riannon gives Landus a dirty look.

Dark Japheth: She takes a small bracelet from her arm, and puts it around your wrist, Skocion. "Come back."

Sarcazmo47: Ah?

Dark Japheth: She points at Landus. "Lead them there." She sighs.

AndrewRogue: (Whaa?

AndrewRogue: )

Sarcazmo47: Kirk is confused.

Dark Japheth: "Go to the sitting room. Fourth confessional from the right, go through the black curtain. Haven't you been here before?"

Sarcazmo47: Skocion smiles. "I'm new to the area. Her and her daughters are all in there?"

Dark Japheth: "Yes."

Dark Japheth: "Go then." She smiles at you.

Sarcazmo47: Skocion smiles, extricates his hand, and waits for Landus to take point.

AndrewRogue: *leads on*

Dark Japheth: Niniel shudders, and continues following the group, unnoticed by most as her cloak hides her face.

coughingpuppy: Riannon follows them.

Dark Japheth: When you get through... you are in no sitting room...

Dark Japheth: But a library.

Sarcazmo47: Yay!

Dark Japheth: Sort of. Chained to the walls are monstrosities you can hardly bear.

Sarcazmo47: No orgy for the PCs!

Dark Japheth: Some are of children, barely of childbearing age, chained naked... waiting for someone to claim them.

Sarcazmo47: I like how in the description you say that Rivas Kul does nothing overtly evil.

Dark Japheth: Rivas Kul does not.

Dark Japheth: Sakhmet does.

Dark Japheth: Her clergy DOES.

Dark Japheth: But the kingdom itself does not.

Dark Japheth: Make sense?

Sarcazmo47: Anyhoo.

Sarcazmo47: Fair enough.

AndrewRogue: *glances about for a few seconds before affixing his gaze to something else*

Sarcazmo47: Continue describery.

Dark Japheth: Most of the people chained to the walls have attributes listed beneath their names...

Sarcazmo47: Skocion is pretending to be completely unfazed by all this.

Dark Japheth: some are men, strong of arm but weak as they are chained.

Dark Japheth: With a horrific realization, the entire place is almost designed for breeding. If one wished for a child with certain attributes, one could come here.

Dark Japheth: Its almost a cruel menu.

AndrewRogue: *quietly provides a brief description for Skoc*

Dark Japheth: Quietly reading in the corner is a nondescript elven woman, wearing leather clothing. Two dark angels, almost literally, stand behind her.

Sarcazmo47: Bluff check to be cool like Shaft.

*OnlineHost*: Sarcazmo47 rolled 1 20-sided die: 11

Dark Japheth: Both have bat wings, claws upon their hands, and jagged front teeth. Their eyes clow read.

Sarcazmo47: 21 on the Shaft.

Dark Japheth: You are cool like Bond, but not as cool as Shaft.

Dark Japheth: 25 at least for Shaft.

Sarcazmo47: That works.

Dark Japheth: The two have great horns on their head, and are clad in simple silk robes barely covering anything.

Dark Japheth: From mere description, this should tell you that it is the lady Bloodarch, and her two bodyguards and daughters, Zabon and Zabok,.

Sarcazmo47: Skocion canes his way to a respectful distance in front of the trio and bows deeply at the waist.

Dark Japheth: The two half-fiends merely look at you. Their features are identical- beautiful, but ugly. Marred in their faces, by what appears to be a crude instrument, their eyes are bloodshot and yellow, almost jaundiced.

coughingpuppy: Riannon flanks him, hoping they'll be able to deliver the message quickly and get out.

Dark Japheth: The lady bloodarch looks at you all.

AndrewRogue: *does the bodyguard thing*

Dark Japheth: "To what to do I owe this meeting?" She idly flips a page in her book.

Sarcazmo47: "Lady Melanie and her daughters. My name is Baron Skocion Atrox, and I am here as a bearer of tidings."

Dark Japheth: She is almost to everyones complete surprise, an elf.

Dark Japheth: "Atrox? Your house name is familiar, though your title seems to ring of falsehood. But not completely, it must be new."

Dark Japheth: "Are you here regarding your grandmother? If so, I am afraid you are wasting your time. None of us know where she went."

Sarcazmo47: He smiles. "Most of what I am is. But I doubt that matters to you. And no, I am not here on my own accord."

Dark Japheth: "What tidings do you bring, and from whom?"

Dark Japheth: (OOC warning- these people have the potential to crush you all like bugs. I recommend you do not irritate them in any way shape or form. And apologize quickly if you should.)

Sarcazmo47: "My message comes from Shale Fireguard, once of the elite masters who aided Jarek in Sithicus."

Sarcazmo47: "As for the nature of his message...I know too little to judge. His message is thus."

Sarcazmo47: "Order burns to clear his path, balance fears the Dragon's wrath...

Sarcazmo47: Changes comes to ever stay, time itself will kneel and pray.

Sarcazmo47: With the sword wilt he cause pain, and bind the Light in darkest chain. And he will his enemies defeat to rule the world in highest seat."

Sarcazmo47: Skocion bows again as he completes the message.

Dark Japheth: The lady looks at you oddly. "That... hmm."

Dark Japheth: "Is that all?"

Sarcazmo47: "It is, Lady."

Sarcazmo47: He keeps his own hypothesis to himself.

Dark Japheth: "Hmm."

Dark Japheth: "I will ponder these meanings. And you will deliver a message to Shale, as well."

Dark Japheth: "Care you to stay here? I can provide you with entertainment, and decent housing, should you desire it."

Dark Japheth: Zabon and Zabok growl their disapproval, but the lady Bloodarch ignores them.

Sarcazmo47: Skocion hesitates.

AndrewRogue: Mind a sense motive Gorth?

Dark Japheth: Go for it.

*OnlineHost*: AndrewRogue rolled 1 20-sided die: 4

Sarcazmo47: I'll spring for one of those as well.

AndrewRogue: 14, yay

*OnlineHost*: Sarcazmo47 rolled 1 20-sided die: 12

Dark Japheth: Not much seems discernable about her motives.

Sarcazmo47: Then he bows again. "We would be honored, Lady. For Shale's message, I will await your pleasure."

Dark Japheth: "You are wise in the ways of decorum and the court."

Dark Japheth: "Who claimed you?" She looks to your wrist.

Sarcazmo47: "I would not dare to contradict you, lady. And I did not catch her name."

Dark Japheth: "You are intelligent."

Dark Japheth: "Deny her this night. She is not to claim you. She will instead find pleasure with one of the thralls."

Dark Japheth: She looks down at her book again. "You are dismissed. Your chambers are beyond the library."

Sarcazmo47: Skocion leaves backwards, not turning his back on the trio.

Sarcazmo47: He'll also surruptitiously remove the bracelet.

Dark Japheth: Zabon walks to you, Skocion. And Zabok is standing... well... flanking, almost.

Dark Japheth: You find that you cannot.

Sarcazmo47: Wow.

Sarcazmo47: Whee!

Dark Japheth: Zabon takes your hand, and brings you back to Melanie.

Sarcazmo47: Oh geez.

Sarcazmo47: He is broughten.

Dark Japheth: "I had forgotten." She removes said bracelet, and places it in your hand.

Dark Japheth: "Keep it."

Dark Japheth: Zabok looks at Melanie, and almost growls.

AndrewRogue: *watches carefully and makes no move to stand defensively by Skoc*

Dark Japheth: "Brought whom?"

Dark Japheth: "It is of no matter. Watch, though. Later."

Dark Japheth: Niniel shudders again, and continues on with the rest of you, backing away, not leaving the monarch's glare.

coughingpuppy: Riannon tries not to look like she's hurrying out, but is pretty eager to get away from the lady.

AndrewRogue: *moves with them, and in a very similar manner*

Sarcazmo47: Skocion waits until he's certain he can leave, and does so.

Dark Japheth: Your rooms are not simple. They have elegant baths, running water, not even PUMPING just RUNNING.

Dark Japheth: There are but two rooms.

Dark Japheth: And of course, the lady Bloodarch. But you dare not enter. Plus, the Symbol of Pain burns everyone if they get close enough to open the door.

Dark Japheth: The rooms each have two beds, but it is well known that only one is really used. The beds are made of silk and cotton, easily extremely comfortable.

Dark Japheth: Mirrors fill both rooms, including ceilings, floors, and walls.

Dark Japheth: Although the floor is not glass, it is mirrored stone

Sarcazmo47: So we have four beds, two rooms, and there's a third room that belongs to the Lady Bloodarch?

Dark Japheth: Indeed.

Dark Japheth: You are her personal guests.

Sarcazmo47: Oooooookay.

Sarcazmo47: Skocion.....you're too good at what you do.

AndrewRogue: (We are soooo dead)

Dark Japheth: *grins wickedly*

Dark Japheth: *begins out and out laughing*

Dark Japheth: MWAHAHAHAHA

Dark Japheth: *giggles*

Dark Japheth: *stops*

Dark Japheth: Ok, enough DM laughter

Dark Japheth: "...so who gets which rooms?"

Dark Japheth: "I suggest for safety we all stay in one."

Sarcazmo47: Skocion blinks a few times.

coughingpuppy: "Yeah, I'm okay with that."

AndrewRogue: "Eh heh... sounds good."

Sarcazmo47: "I will take one room....the rest of you should stick together."

Dark Japheth: Niniel looks at you, her eyes almost filled with regret. "It would probably be better that way."

Dark Japheth: *opens door two, and enters the room*

AndrewRogue: *looks at Skoc* "Sure ya don't need your eyes?"

Sarcazmo47: Skocion laughs.....

Sarcazmo47: Nervously.

Sarcazmo47: You can actually tell.

Sarcazmo47: "I think I would rather be without them tonight."

Dark Japheth: That said, I think now is perfectly the best place to leave merely for my own sick amusement and suspense.

AndrewRogue: *Landus doesn't sound much better* "You got it then. Eh heh..."

Sarcazmo47: Gorth, stop now and I will SHOOT you.

Dark Japheth: ~-~-~END~-~-~

Sarcazmo47: With a CHAINSAW

Sarcazmo47: *shoots Gorth with a chainsaw*

Dark Japheth: You get 100 XP or a permanant +1 to Bluff, Sense Motive, or Diplomacy.

AndrewRogue: *stands out of bloodspray range*

Sarcazmo47: Everyone?

Dark Japheth: *500 XP

Dark Japheth: Everyone.

Sarcazmo47: Mrrr!

Dark Japheth: I'm twisted and nasty like this

Dark Japheth: Choose.

Sarcazmo47: *can't pick*

Dark Japheth: Level faster

AndrewRogue: Seeense Motive

Dark Japheth: or gain more ability at twisting words and other things.

Dark Japheth: Heh

Dark Japheth: I get the feeling all of you will be Nellix.

Dark Japheth: "I sense motive."

Sarcazmo47: *springs for the Diplomacy*

Dark Japheth: Me- "...its a five year old, it doesn't have the capacity to lie."

coughingpuppy: No, Ri doesn't SM nearly as much as most of my other characters, actually.

Dark Japheth: SM?

Dark Japheth: Oh

Dark Japheth: durrrr

Dark Japheth: Thoughts on the session?

Sarcazmo47: Death by Sex is going to be the most depressing character death I've ever experienced, I think.

AndrewRogue: XD

coughingpuppy: *grin*

Dark Japheth: Man, don't you wish you were playing a bard.

Sarcazmo47: Why?

coughingpuppy: Perform ranks.

Dark Japheth: XD

Sarcazmo47: He's got 'em.

Dark Japheth: Bards, though, waste them on things like Sex as opposed to actual performing.

AndrewRogue: *suddenly is struck by what would epic perform checks would yeild*

AndrewRogue: *sits and wonders*

Dark Japheth: Quite a bit.

Sarcazmo47: +10.

Dark Japheth: lol.

Dark Japheth: Anyway

AndrewRogue: On a side note Gorth, that church made me uncomfortalbe sitting here at my desk :p Good job!

Sarcazmo47: +10 is all that stands between Skocion and Death By Urethra.

coughingpuppy: Yes, me too.

Dark Japheth: It made me fucking creeped out

Dark Japheth: And goddamnit, I wrote the place

Sarcazmo47: I actually found it rather comforting...

Dark Japheth: SKOCION IS NOW EVIL IN ALIGNMENT

Dark Japheth: Needless to say

Sarcazmo47: Because he wasn't before.

Sarcazmo47: Wait!

Sarcazmo47: What did he do that was particularly evil?

Dark Japheth: Be glad I did not use the stats for the Orificer.

Dark Japheth: Nothing, you were comforted by evil.

AndrewRogue: ...............................................

AndrewRogue: ......................................................

AndrewRogue: .................................................................. ......................

Dark Japheth: Orificer = nastiest fucking thing I've ever read about EVER

coughingpuppy: ...Orificer?

Dark Japheth: It is like a gibbering mouther, only not mouths. It is a form of cruel entertainment in one setting I had the displeasure of reading.

AndrewRogue: NONONONONONONONONONONO NONO!

AndrewRogue: QUIET!

AndrewRogue: BAD IMAGES

Sarcazmo47: Bwahahahaha!

Dark Japheth: It is nothing but various genitalia, in a sentient ball. It sits there and various people go to have sex with it CONTINUALLY until the orificer dies from exhaustion and bleeding.

coughingpuppy: ......

Dark Japheth: Some are male, some female.

Dark Japheth: I read about it, thought "Man, that'd be good for the clergy of Sakhmet."

Dark Japheth: Then I sat down.

Dark Japheth: and realized I'd have to describe it.

Dark Japheth: and I'd have to NOT get sick

Dark Japheth: and I'd have to explain its uses

Dark Japheth: So

Dark Japheth: The Orificer did not make it into amaryllis, I'm afraid.

Sarcazmo47: OH FUCKING DARN

coughingpuppy: Happily.

AndrewRogue: THANK THE LORD ABOVE!

Dark Japheth: Because I am too goddamned squeamish.

coughingpuppy: I'm glad you're squeamish. Because I am too. And I don't want to cringe in my seat throughout an entire session.

AndrewRogue: I had issues with tentacle rape attempts. That's pushing it <_<

Sarcazmo47: Dark Japheth (11:00:49 PM): Some are of children, barely of childbearing age, chained naked... waiting for someone to claim them.

Dark Japheth: Alrighty

Dark Japheth: You see

Dark Japheth: with that, I turn off the imagination

Dark Japheth: nothing gets through

Sarcazmo47: NOT SQUEMISH MY ASS

Dark Japheth: Ok, I get the point. :P

Sarcazmo47: Anyhoo.

Dark Japheth: Would you like the "Sex Golem" as I so eloquently dubbed it in Amaryllis?

Sarcazmo47: This is a horrible place to stop and I hate you.

Dark Japheth: I am aware

AndrewRogue: I second this being a horrible place to stop.

coughingpuppy: You could roll an Andy, Kirk!

Dark Japheth: I will always pick the absolute worst fucking place to stop

Sarcazmo47: Skocion wants to talk to his grandpa.

Dark Japheth: It forces you guys and me to continue running a game.

Dark Japheth: Are you certain?

Sarcazmo47: He needs sex advice..

AndrewRogue: ...

Sarcazmo47: You know what he needs?

Sarcazmo47: BANDON.

coughingpuppy: Grandpa, where do babies come from?

AndrewRogue: XD

Dark Japheth: He does need Bandon.

AndrewRogue: Bandon has a use!

coughingpuppy: He could summon him.

Sarcazmo47: Summon Planar Ally

Sarcazmo47: !

Sarcazmo47: Bandon could redeem half of this church.

Dark Japheth: Could he, now.

Dark Japheth: For the record, everyone- I wish I could say this is the worst part of Amaryllis that you will ever see.

Dark Japheth: However, you guys picked EVIL

Dark Japheth: or at least decidedly not good.

Dark Japheth: *sighs*

Sarcazmo47: Hey, we can chage

Sarcazmo47: *change

Dark Japheth: What if you remain a sandy little butthole?

Sarcazmo47: Besides, it's a refreshing change of pace, isn't it?

Dark Japheth: It actually is.

Sarcazmo47: And admit it.

AndrewRogue: Heh. Yay amorality.

coughingpuppy: Besides, evil can be fun.

Sarcazmo47: We get along better than good parties.

Dark Japheth: Gods, I wish you guys didn't.

Sarcazmo47: Why?

Dark Japheth: It'd be easier to kill you.

Dark Japheth: I've already got Skocion pegged for Destruction

Dark Japheth: meanwhile, Landus courts betrayal

coughingpuppy: In the two evil games I've played in the party has worked better together than all the good party games I've played in.

Dark Japheth: and Ri has that cute little badger! Giggle!

Sarcazmo47: That cute little FAT badger.

coughingpuppy: I like my badger.

Dark Japheth: Thats because people have a fundamental problem.

AndrewRogue: Land-y is courting betrayl? ;_;

Dark Japheth: They think "Good must be angsty."

Dark Japheth: That, by the way, was your hint.

Sarcazmo47: The badger needs to pick up Vile Obesity!

Dark Japheth: YES.

Dark Japheth: If you cast awaken

AndrewRogue: Hey now, I have one angsty goof character <_<

Dark Japheth: Have it become a priest of Haagenti.

AndrewRogue: *good

coughingpuppy: My angstiest character is evil, actually.

Sarcazmo47: Mine, too.

Sarcazmo47: Bandon is pretty happy-go-lucky.

Sarcazmo47: Felix is pretty happy-go-lucky.

Sarcazmo47: Skocion is happy-go-lucky.

Dark Japheth: My angstiest characters are evil. But. Seriously. To take AND to an extreme

coughingpuppy: My good characters are generally conflicted from time to time, but happy. Except Lyra, who hasn't had the best of times.

Sarcazmo47: Verity is Lawful Badass.

Dark Japheth: Aria would be angsty if she had higher wisdom...

Dark Japheth: Hunter... angsty expresso

Dark Japheth: QUEKLAIN OMG ANGST but none of you were around then. ;_;

AndrewRogue: So what, she can only achieve whiny due to Wisdom limits? ;_;

Dark Japheth: Yes.

AndrewRogue: *kicks AIM dice*

Dark Japheth: She doesn't have the higher understanding it requires to know that she loves both Bandon and Hunter.

Dark Japheth: AND THUS ANGST

Dark Japheth: AND BITCH ABOUT IT CONSTANTLY. By the way, you play her surprisingly bitch free.

Sarcazmo47: That's what Staci is for.

Dark Japheth: semi-random- what does the group think, OOC or IC, of Niniel?

coughingpuppy: Aurelia isn't THAT bitchy.

Sarcazmo47: :-P

coughingpuppy: I like Nin.

Dark Japheth: lmao.

Sarcazmo47: Niniel?

Sarcazmo47: Niniel the BARD?

Dark Japheth: You know

Sarcazmo47: Niniel the SAHKMET BARD?

Dark Japheth: She hasn't said a single freaking word about exactly what she is.

Dark Japheth: She hates Sakhmet's clergy, as you can tell

AndrewRogue: Heh

Dark Japheth: Yet she is associated with them.

Sarcazmo47: Yep.

AndrewRogue: I like 'er. She's interesting.

Sarcazmo47: She's divine spawn!

Dark Japheth: She hasn't even told you what race she is. Is she even a harpy?

Dark Japheth: Andrew, of course you like her. She's a hot harpy.

Dark Japheth: :P

coughingpuppy: I am very confused as to her alignment. I've been trying to figure it out.

Dark Japheth: It will probably be figured out very, very shortly. By very shortly, I mean sometime before October.

AndrewRogue: She's... Lawfotic Govil.

coughingpuppy: And the debate she and Ri had was much fun.

Dark Japheth: Its actually very easy to piece together her allegiances.

Dark Japheth: Think about her description. What she has tried to make you do, Ri. In a way, in concept.

Dark Japheth: Her initial conversation with Landus asked him to do something, too.

Dark Japheth: Metaphorically, its almost so obvious I bleed inside whenever someone is like "OMG BARD"

Dark Japheth: :P

Sarcazmo47: It's Arwen in human form with 20 cleric and sorcerer levels to kill us all and claim her father's throne!

Dark Japheth: lmao

AndrewRogue: Yay!

Dark Japheth: That was the funniest thing I've ever said

Dark Japheth: besides, she's in harpy form. >.>

Dark Japheth: I'll probably never directly tell you who she is until after the game is over

coughingpuppy: Okay, are we continuing on or not? Because if we aren't, sadly I must go to bed...

Dark Japheth: and you'll all spazz, but by then, the game will be over so you can't say I'm a bad GM!

Dark Japheth: Oh fine.

Dark Japheth: Phooey on yuo.

Dark Japheth: you.

Dark Japheth: Skocion gets IM barraged

Sarcazmo47: BARRAGE'D

AndrewRogue: I

AndrewRogue: shall

AndrewRogue: just

Dark Japheth: ~-~-~Resume~-~-~

AndrewRogue: (switch to OOC)

Dark Japheth: Niniel looks to you all. "Bloodarch desires a mate, you know."

coughingpuppy: "Yeah, I kind of figured that one."

Dark Japheth: *shudders*

Dark Japheth: "The last mate she took lost his sanity."

AndrewRogue: *shudders as he rings out his headband over a sink* "I didn't think the job'd be this bad."

coughingpuppy: "I told you we shouldn't do it."

Dark Japheth: "I would recommend that when you return, you kill Shale."

AndrewRogue: "I'd be all for that. But talking of such things here is beyond stupid."

coughingpuppy: Riannon nods in agreement.

coughingpuppy: "I figure if something happens to Skocion we can always help him out."

Dark Japheth: "No. It isn't, really- as long as we speak no evil of Sakhmet in this room, nothing will happen."

Dark Japheth: "And if you try, you'll be dust."

Dark Japheth: "And I'll be worse. Mother would kill me." She shudders.

AndrewRogue: "What?"

coughingpuppy: Riannon turns a confused look at her, then figures she must just have heard wrong.

Dark Japheth: "Nothing."

Dark Japheth: Niniel looks around. "Nothing has changed here. Nothing ever changes."

coughingpuppy: "You've been here before?"

AndrewRogue: *finishes wringing out his headband before tying it across his head again, then oddly chooses to wash his face*

Dark Japheth: "I've been here before. Lots of times."

Dark Japheth: She shudders. "I was born about... five hundred feet to the east of here."

AndrewRogue: Sense'd

*OnlineHost*: AndrewRogue rolled 1 20-sided die: 16

coughingpuppy: "Yeah? Can't imagine it was a cheery upbringing."

AndrewRogue: 27

Dark Japheth: Goddamn

Dark Japheth: Truth, all of it.

Sarcazmo47: Hey guys, who likes black leather and chains?

Dark Japheth: "Nope. Not at all. Better than nothing."

Sarcazmo47: </sex death>

AndrewRogue: (*personally hates leather. Icky material*)

Dark Japheth: Die.

Dark Japheth: now.

AndrewRogue: *completing his face, he finds a towel to try it and then attempts to dry his wings to a degree while listening*

coughingpuppy: Riannon sighs and sits down on the floor. "Actually resting in this place is gonna be fucking impossible, really."

Dark Japheth: "Indeed." Niniel shudders.

AndrewRogue: *shakes his head* "The gods seem intent on depriving me rest lately."

Dark Japheth: Niniel looks at you. "How would you know?"

Dark Japheth: Around this point, you hear Skocion screaming. In pain, extacy, fear, fury, all of these at once.

Dark Japheth: Mostly pain, though

AndrewRogue: *winces*

Dark Japheth: Niniel just looks behind her, slightly. And winces.

Sarcazmo47: Ya'll thought I was joking, too.

coughingpuppy: Riannon sighs and covers her ears with her hands. "Yeah, what I said before."

AndrewRogue: "Fuck... there's, not a quick way out of this city by chance?"

Dark Japheth: "No."

Dark Japheth: "You are going to have to wait it out."

Dark Japheth: "If you leave prematurely, or do anything else prematurely here, the clergy here will hunt you down and kill you."

Dark Japheth: "They won't even find your soul in hell or heaven."

AndrewRogue: "Figures."

Dark Japheth: Niniel lays down on the bed, and closes her eyes.

coughingpuppy: "I think we ought to stick with the safe jobs from now on."

Dark Japheth: "If Skocion remembers this at all, it likely won't be an entirely unpleasant memory. Knowing Melanie."

Sarcazmo47: "MYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAARGH!"

Sarcazmo47: Stuff like that.

AndrewRogue: "Rii... you're speaking my language. We deliver whatever message we have to and go check some of..." *wince* "...our interests elsewhere."

Sarcazmo47: It does quiet down a bit, as he gets hoarse.

Dark Japheth: Niniel twitches, but lays herself down, and continues to sleep.

AndrewRogue: *seats himself somewhere in the vicinity of the door, standing a sort of guard*

coughingpuppy: Riannon doesn't sleep, and stays sitting where she is.

*OnlineHost*: Dark Japheth rolled 1 20-sided die: 17

Dark Japheth: Hit, threatened crit

*OnlineHost*: Dark Japheth rolled 1 20-sided die: 14

Dark Japheth: crit

Dark Japheth: damage

*OnlineHost*: Dark Japheth rolled 1 6-sided die: 2

Dark Japheth: 6, times two is 12

Sarcazmo47: Oh, he's stabbed.

coughingpuppy: ((...Dude, I don't even want to know.))

AndrewRogue: (Saaaame here.)

Dark Japheth: Then that means I've succeeded admirably as DMing an EVIL FUCKING WOMAN

Dark Japheth: You all are somehow able to sleep, extremely unpeacefully.

Dark Japheth: Niniel is humming the words to a very familiar song.

Dark Japheth: "Ring around the rosies, pocket full of posies, ashes, ashes, we all fall down."

Dark Japheth: Fast forward?

Dark Japheth: :P

Sarcazmo47: PLEASE

Dark Japheth: Till the morning, or would you really LIKE the nightmare sequence?

Dark Japheth: :P

Dark Japheth: Aww fuck it, I'll give you nasty nightmares later

AndrewRogue: Bring on the horrible nightmares!

AndrewRogue: <_<

Dark Japheth: I need to make em more scarse, too

Dark Japheth: So no more dreams for a little bit, at least until level 5

Sarcazmo47: So.

Dark Japheth: anyway

Sarcazmo47: Skocion.

AndrewRogue: *calls bluff*

Sarcazmo47: Ya'll see him the next morning.

Sarcazmo47: He's covered in clothes. He's moving slowly, like a very, very, very sore and tired man.

Dark Japheth: Niniel shudders.

Sarcazmo47: What parts of him you CAN see are bruised.

coughingpuppy: "Er...you okay, Skocion? I have, um, spells and stuff, if you want..."

Sarcazmo47: He has a fresh line of pink skin on his throat.

Sarcazmo47: He waves his hand at Riannon and goes to speak, but all that comes out is ".........ssry...."

Sarcazmo47: He's very, very hoarse, and you can barely hear him.

Sarcazmo47: He coughs a few times and winces.

Dark Japheth: "You should probably not speak. For a day or so, you'll be hoarse for weeks."

Dark Japheth: "But it'll hurt significantly less tomorrow."

coughingpuppy: "Is she gonna let us go anytime soon? Preferably today? You can just nod or shake your head."

Sarcazmo47: He nods vigourously, and regrets it.

Sarcazmo47: Then he starts to cane his way out of the temple.

Sarcazmo47: He actually seems to need the cane, today.

Dark Japheth: obligatory 1d100 roll

*OnlineHost*: Dark Japheth rolled 1 100-sided die: 10

Dark Japheth: Ok.

Dark Japheth: You manage to leave.

Dark Japheth: On your way out...

coughingpuppy: Riannon walks next to him in case he happens to fall over.

Dark Japheth: The cleric who accosted you earlier comes to you.

Dark Japheth: "Hey. You are still cute. We all heard you. You must be good."

Dark Japheth: "...want a romp?" She touches your hand, and gently massages it.

Sarcazmo47: He smiles at her tiredly.

Dark Japheth: Causing new kinds of pain to come to you.

coughingpuppy: "He's not up to it."

Dark Japheth: "Aww. Alright. I suppose."

Sarcazmo47: He gives her another half-grin at that.

Dark Japheth: She looks dejected, and sighs, heading to the "confessionals"

Sarcazmo47: And continues on his way out.

coughingpuppy: Riannon shakes her head and hurries out of the temple.

AndrewRogue: *follows more than happy to leave*

Dark Japheth: And now you see why Shale, also high in charisma, wanted YOU to deliver the letter.

Dark Japheth: *prophecy*

Dark Japheth: It comes to you in a burst of insight.

Dark Japheth: and DM laughing

coughingpuppy: "How about we kill Shale when we get back?"

Sarcazmo47: Skocion smiles ferally at that comment.

AndrewRogue: *chuckles*

Dark Japheth: My mother is looking at me like I'm freaking insane. But I am having problems not laughing

coughingpuppy: "Let's get out of the city. Tell us if you want to stop."

Dark Japheth: like a maniac

Dark Japheth: Oh, Skocion?

Dark Japheth: Its going to hurt like a BITCH to ride those horses.

Dark Japheth: For at least the entire trip home.

Sarcazmo47: Oh, no!

Sarcazmo47: Not saddlesore!

Sarcazmo47: I don't think he can take THAT!

Dark Japheth: Your speed will be slowed. At least slightly. Or else I'm going to make sure you are suffering a -2 pain penalty to any checks you'll make.

Sarcazmo47: Checks?

Sarcazmo47: CHECKS?

Sarcazmo47: Like his SLEEPING check?

Dark Japheth: And any attack rolls or damage

Sarcazmo47: Yes, he rides fucking slowly.

Dark Japheth: Oh, you'll sleep fine.

Dark Japheth: For the record

Dark Japheth: Bloodarch devised an entire new sense

Dark Japheth: and gave it to Skocion

Dark Japheth: just so he'd feel pain in said new sense

AndrewRogue: ...ow

coughingpuppy: Dude...

Sarcazmo47: It's great fun.

Dark Japheth: Now then.

Dark Japheth: How far would you like to fast forward?

Dark Japheth: :P

Sarcazmo47: Back to Tamerand, if we can.

Dark Japheth: You get there.

Sarcazmo47: Yay.

Dark Japheth: The bruises are mostly healed, and your voice, while raspy (and you suspect it may be raspy for a long, long time) no longer causes inordinate pain.

Sarcazmo47: By then, he's explained to the others that he's very agreeable to the idea of making Shale a dead man, but he'd like to do it....subtlely.

Dark Japheth: Krist, once in the Capital, collects a few things of importance- for example, the money that is owed the group by those demanding protection. Or being paid to raid those who don't.

Dark Japheth: Banditry increased a little bit while you were gone, and each of you recieves a share of 500 gold.

Dark Japheth: Through word of mouth and other new associates.

Sarcazmo47: And he will endure Shale's knowing smile and collect the other half of Shale's wages.

Sarcazmo47: And then he will invite himself to go over Shale's books and records in detail.

Dark Japheth: Oh, I'll make you roleplay that

Sarcazmo47: Righto.

Dark Japheth: You enter his shop. Shale sits there, behind the counter, counting platinum coins.

Sarcazmo47: Skocion clears his throat as the rest enter the shop.

AndrewRogue: *does his thing*

coughingpuppy: Riannon gives Shale a grin. "Hey. Bet you didn't think we'd make it back in one piece, huh?"

Dark Japheth: Shale looks. "Oh my Gods! Skocion! Are you ok?"

Dark Japheth: "What happened?" He looks at you, a childish, mischevious smile on his face.

Sarcazmo47: "I fell down some stairs."

Sarcazmo47: He grins back.

Dark Japheth: He laughs, and looks to the druid.

Dark Japheth: "I actually didn't. But... I suspect you are here to collect my wealth."

Dark Japheth: He hands over a few papers. "You'll see that business increased rather substantially."

Sarcazmo47: Skocion comes around the counter. "Something like that. Landus, read me his records, please."

Dark Japheth: "And you are titled to half my profits." He smiles. "I'll be upstairs. Money is on the desk- all of it. Take whats yours."

AndrewRogue: "Sure boss." *starts reciting numbers and figures and what not*

Sarcazmo47: Skocion goes through the figures in his head to make sure they match up right.

Dark Japheth: He's shorted you exactly 10 silver pieces.

Sarcazmo47: Oh, shucks.

Sarcazmo47: What is on the counter?

Dark Japheth: Of the money on the desk.

Dark Japheth: Approximately six thousand platinum pieces.

Dark Japheth: (I did not miscount.)

Sarcazmo47: Oh.

coughingpuppy: ...

Sarcazmo47: Riiight.

AndrewRogue: *whistles*

Sarcazmo47: Skocion sorts the coins into purses and pouches as they are counted.

Dark Japheth: Exact total- Five thousand, nine hundred and ninety nine platinum pieces, and nine gold pieces.

Dark Japheth: He made nearly twice that, which means he's giving you half. Less than half. It had to be intentional, though.

Sarcazmo47: He's keeping a controlling interest in his buisness.

Sarcazmo47: "Ah. Landus, go check if our friend has acquired any more of his new skins, or other goods, please."

Sarcazmo47: "Riannon, would you be so kind as to write out a receipt?"

AndrewRogue: *nods at he sets the papers down and heads upstairs*

Sarcazmo47: "Ah, and Landus!"

coughingpuppy: She nods and writes it out on a scrap of paper nearby.

AndrewRogue: "Yeah?"

Sarcazmo47: "Fetch one more gold coin from him after you've taken the skins. Fair is fair, after all."

Sarcazmo47: He grins.

AndrewRogue: "Sure thing." *smiles back*

AndrewRogue: *and he goes to wherever upstairs our dear friend is*

*OnlineHost*: AndrewRogue rolled 1 20-sided die: 9

*OnlineHost*: AndrewRogue rolled 1 20-sided die: 4

AndrewRogue: *and heads on down the stairs, chuckling gently* "One gold coin. 3 Perals that can make folks stop breathing for a few seconds. An apology. Its all I could get."

Sarcazmo47: "Excellent.

Sarcazmo47: Our half share, then."

AndrewRogue: *hands over the non-metaphysical items*

Sarcazmo47: And Skocion leaves.

Sarcazmo47: DUN DUN DUN

coughingpuppy: Riannon folds her arms, looking at the pouches. "I'm not sure we ought to kill this guy, really. I mean, he deserves it and all, but we could get a LOT of money if we just leave him..."

Sarcazmo47: Skocion doesn't answer until they make it back to the coffee bar/base camp.

AndrewRogue: *shrugs at Rii*

Sarcazmo47: /outside cafe thingie.

Sarcazmo47: Gimmie three minutes to finish this pizza.

AndrewRogue: I want a pizza ;_;

Dark Japheth: So does matt.

Dark Japheth: Matt will appease himself with a sandwitch and coffee, though.

Sarcazmo47: You know, given as how we all refer to each other as Andrew, Staci, and Kirk respectively, should we just call you MatT?

Sarcazmo47: *Mat?

Sarcazmo47: *MATT

Sarcazmo47: Grr.

coughingpuppy: Yes, that's probably a good idea.

Sarcazmo47: Or do you prefer Gorthypoo?

Dark Japheth: Gorth, Matt, Maphai, Japheth

Dark Japheth: GOd

Dark Japheth: any of those works

Dark Japheth: I personally do not care.

Dark Japheth: I'll probably end up referring to you as your characters, because I'm strange and funny like that.

Sarcazmo47: Allright, Macbeth.

Dark Japheth: If you are to name me after a shakespearian character

Dark Japheth: I must humbly request Tybalt, Cassius, or Iago

Dark Japheth: the only three I've actually played.

Dark Japheth: :P

AndrewRogue: Eh, calling you Matt is easy enough. I know 18 different Matt's, what is one more? :p

Sarcazmo47: Iago.

Sarcazmo47: My personal hero.

AndrewRogue: *lacks in shakesperian knowledge*

Dark Japheth: I liked Cassius better.

Sarcazmo47: Liar.

Dark Japheth: Iago was more spite. Cassius had a reason. Iago was just a concept, really, given a name.

Sarcazmo47: Okay.

Sarcazmo47: Pizza eaten.

Sarcazmo47: What are these three pearls?

AndrewRogue: Apparently you throw them at people and it stops them from breathing for a short time.

Dark Japheth: Pearls of Crisis of Breath.

Sarcazmo47: Beads of Force or somesuch?

Sarcazmo47: Ah.

Sarcazmo47: What's the upshot?

Dark Japheth: What upshot?

Dark Japheth: There is none.

Dark Japheth: :P

Sarcazmo47: Okay, what's the downshot?

Sarcazmo47: I mean, is there a reason you want to make someone hold their breath?

Dark Japheth: Its going to stun them.

Dark Japheth: At least.

Dark Japheth: Possibly kill them.

Dark Japheth: If you get something thats in the air, it'll come down.

Dark Japheth: If you hit a spellcaster

Sarcazmo47: Oh my.

Dark Japheth: they stop.

Dark Japheth: :P

Sarcazmo47: Heh.

Sarcazmo47: Righto.

Sarcazmo47: Okay.

Dark Japheth: Actually.

Dark Japheth: I'm going to end the game here

Dark Japheth: out of kindness to Staci

Dark Japheth: Since she said she had to sleep

Sarcazmo47: Aww. I wanted to go SHOPPING!

AndrewRogue: Oh yeah! O_o She wanted to sleep.

Dark Japheth: ~-~-~END~-~-~

Dark Japheth: This gives you a while to figure out what you want.

Dark Japheth: By the way

Dark Japheth: whoever picked Tamerand as a good 'home' country

Dark Japheth: GOOD JOB, MAN

coughingpuppy: You guys are awesome. I have to be up in four hours but the game was too cool to ask to stop.

Sarcazmo47: *waves*

Dark Japheth: This is one of two places you can actually buy magic items.

Dark Japheth: That aren't like, given as holy objects or kept as magical treasures to be studied

AndrewRogue: Thank you Staci my dear *bows flamboyantly* And good job Kirk!

Dark Japheth: Why thank you, Staci.

Dark Japheth: I'd say pleasant dreams

Dark Japheth: but I know that I described the orificer to yiou

Dark Japheth: you

coughingpuppy: *cries*

Dark Japheth: you will never sleep pleasantly again

AndrewRogue: ARGH! I HAD JUST BLOCKED THAT OUT!

coughingpuppy: Not to mention that you RPed flaying my boyfriend with spiked chains.

Dark Japheth: Goddamn, I'm awesome.

Dark Japheth: I did not.

Dark Japheth: I faded to black

Dark Japheth: like a good little DM

coughingpuppy: Happily.

Sarcazmo47: Spiked chains of PAIN

coughingpuppy: Okay, heading out now. 'Night, guys.

Dark Japheth: Dark Japheth: Fast forward?Dark Japheth: :PSarcazmo47: PLEASE

Dark Japheth: Best lines ever

AndrewRogue: Night Staci

Dark Japheth: Good night.

coughingpuppy has left the room.

Sarcazmo47: Mrrr?

Dark Japheth: Fast forward... and PLEASE GOD YES PLEASE FAST FORWARD

Sarcazmo47: Ah yes.

Dark Japheth: Comments on game?

Sarcazmo47: EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE VIL

AndrewRogue: You are the second one to make me uncomfortable at a computer. Even better, you did it without directly involving me.

Dark Japheth: Note- I am *not* alex. :P

Dark Japheth: So... divide your money

Dark Japheth: spend on magic items or what not.

AndrewRogue: Eh... I need to hunt some. Monk/Rogue build likes odd items.

Dark Japheth: Yeah.

Sarcazmo47: Periapt of Wisdom + 4.

Dark Japheth: Amulets of Magic Fang and what not.

Sarcazmo47: Cloak Of Charisma + 4.

Sarcazmo47: *ponders*

AndrewRogue: Oh? You let Ammies of Magic Fang affect fists?

Sarcazmo47: I want to go on a quest to get magical weapon goodness.

Dark Japheth: Then finish the one you started.

Dark Japheth: Or leave it undone

Dark Japheth: and gain levels

Sarcazmo47: We have a magic weapon quest?

AndrewRogue: On a side note, for some reason I keep thinking of Niniel as Sonia now. *smacks self* I'm not drawing proper relations here.

Dark Japheth: What?

AndrewRogue: I'm having Crime and Punishment flashbacks for some reason.

Dark Japheth: heh

Dark Japheth: Dostoyevsky is awesome.

Dark Japheth: I liked the Brothers book better.

Dark Japheth: It had the most awesome scene- with the tormentor TORTURING Jesus during the inquisition

Dark Japheth: and bringing up very excellent points.

Dark Japheth: Jesus already did all that he can do

Dark Japheth: how DARE he come back and try and fight the will of what has already been decreed?

AndrewRogue: I should read more by him. I was about the only one one who actually read C&P and more to the point, enjoyed it. And heh!

Dark Japheth: I think its the Brothers Karamov, but that sounds wrong

AndrewRogue: I'll take a look for it. Shouldn't be too hard to locate.

Dark Japheth: Its available for free on the internet.

Dark Japheth: And now

Dark Japheth: Knock knock

Sarcazmo47: SLEEP

Dark Japheth: DING DONG DITCH BECAUSE GORTH GOES TO SLEEP NOW

Dark Japheth: oh now I have to stay up another five minutes to spite you

Dark Japheth: bitch

Sarcazmo47: Go for it.

AndrewRogue: Heh!

Dark Japheth: SPITE

Dark Japheth: http://haru_in.tripod.com/INforDummies.ht ml

Dark Japheth: In Nomine = coolest shit ever

Sarcazmo47: Have fun with that.

Sarcazmo47 has left the room.

Dark Japheth: bah
