Session Start: Mon Jan 27 00:00:00 2003 Session Ident: #Exalted [15:08:52] * Last session, you'd started off on the quest to rid the area surrounding Great Forks of the fae bandits. It ended when you folks broke and made camp for the night. [15:09:08] * JexIdol (l33tl3ss@AC957B13.ipt.aol.com) has joined #Exalted [15:09:33] ( Like, my bosses at both the graphic design places I interned at last year? ) [15:09:52] * Now, dawn is breaking over the countryside, along with the prerequisite morning birds so common outside of cities. [15:10:41] * Dicesuke (dice@155.92.101.82) has joined #Exalted [15:11:14] * The camp seems more or less like you left it. Perception rolls all 'round, please. [15:11:17] * JexIdol is now known as Jex [15:11:23] ( Perception + Awareness? ) [15:11:35] +Awareness, that is. [15:11:52] 3 d10 [15:11:52] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kane (3 d10) and gets 1 1 7. [15:11:53] 2 d10 [15:11:54] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Alitheia (2 d10) and gets 5 9. [15:12:01] ( One success. ) [15:13:12] 5 d10 [15:13:12] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Ximena (5 d10) and gets 10 4 1 6 7. [15:13:27] ( Three scucesses for Ximena! ) [15:13:49] (eee!) [15:14:58] ( One for me. But you already knew that. ) [15:18:04] * Between the three of you, you realize several important things. One of the horses has been stolen, along with a small amount of the provisions. And along with Lenoria. Also, an inhumanly attractive woman with long, white hair, and wearing clothes that make Ximena seem overdressed (A long panel of silvery cloth in front and back, connected by a silver chain, and a short, sleeveless top baring her abdomen) is now sleeping [15:18:08] with her arm around Kane. [15:18:26] ... ;_; [15:18:38] * Kane lies VERY STILL. [15:18:58] * Alike (CHBoucher@dialup-67.25.0.64.Dial1.Manchester1.Level3.net) has joined #Exalted [15:20:36] * Alitheia eyes the woman from where she lies. [15:21:01] 2 d10 [15:21:01] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Charles (2 d10) and gets 7 6. [15:21:01] * Ximena tries to slooooowly reach for her bow. [15:22:30] * Kane glances over at Ximena, then tries to project "NO YOU FOOL" at her without actually, you know, talking or anything. [15:23:19] ... [15:23:33] * Kane starts slowly and carefully trying to wiggle out of the grip. [15:24:26] * Alike mutters in her sleep, and stirs slightly. [15:24:37] * Kane stops. @_@; [15:24:53] Grm. Hrrmg. Fhqwgads. [15:25:05] ( superbomberman. ) [15:25:08] * Ximena picks up on the NOOOOOO! and just silently sits up, looks around.. and starts packing up her gear as quietly as she can. [15:25:39] * Alitheia sloooooowly sits up. [15:26:38] * Alike rolls slightly, loosing her grip on Kane. [15:26:46] * Kane resumes trying to wiggle out of it. [15:27:28] * Kane eventually wriggles out. [15:27:47] * Kane stands up and starts packing as quickly as he can without disturbing Alike. [15:28:37] 6 d10 [15:28:38] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Alike (6 d10) and gets 6 4 8 5 7 4. [15:28:41] * Alitheia begins quietly packing, though she keeps a careful eye on the strange woman. [15:29:30] * Alike begins stirring and waking up. [15:29:41] * Kane mutters "... fuck" [15:30:08] * Ximena packpackpacks, biting her lower lip. [15:30:41] * Alitheia looks slightly worried, and packs faster. [15:30:46] * Kane PACKPACKPACKS. [15:31:08] Mrrr... Tiankol? Where'd you go? [15:31:29] * Kane facepalms. [15:33:14] . o O (help) [15:33:59] * Alike rolls to her feet. "Oh, Tiankol, you're so cute when you act like you're trying to get away! ^_^" [15:34:18] * Alitheia mutters "Bugger all." [15:34:25] Ah, ALike, you're up! ^_^; [15:34:42] Well, you know how it is, places to go, Fair Folk to kill *point*OHMYGODATHREEHEADEDMONKEY! [15:34:46] * Kane RUNS LIKE HELL. [15:35:07] ...Hee. [15:36:21] * Alike walks over to one of the horses and begins idly poking it in the flank. "The fae got your little girl, you know." [15:36:38] * Kane stops. "... They what?" [15:36:43] ...dammit. So that's where she is. [15:37:48] * Ximena watches this, leaning on her bow."Figured. And tah poor horsie! Yah know where they'ra hidin` at?" [15:38:00] The little pale one. Smelled like death, they stole her. [15:38:30] In the forest. Wyld. [15:38:59] You might want to give up now and leave me with my Tiankol. Your kind never fared well there. [15:39:41] * Kane looks at Ximena and Alitheia. "How good are you two at long-distance running?" [15:39:51] * Ximena looks at Alike and scracthes her head then looks at Kane,"Why don't yah like her agan?" [15:40:20] ( Er...how good ARE we at running? ) [15:40:28] * Kane glares at Ximena. "Thank you interrupter jones. How good are you at long-distance running?" [15:40:37] ( Check your Endurance + Stamina pools. ) [15:40:58] ( 5 ) [15:41:50] (4) [15:42:01] ( Yeah, we all beat the hell out of horses. ) [15:42:10] Ah'm pretty dern good! [15:42:22] * Alitheia smirks. "Pretty good, if I do say so." [15:42:31] Right. [15:42:41] * Charles wanders off from the horse, and overturns a rock, crouching and staring at the insects underneath. "If you are going, the fae have their Soulless guarding the camp. I'd be careful." [15:42:45] (Fuck.) [15:42:52] * Alike says that. [15:43:16] ( Hey, it could be worse. At least you weren't saying anything about your libinous drive this time. ) [15:43:17] (How about that. I managed to multitask like Electric Jesus with the Three, and fuck up with a single NPC.) [15:43:30] (That was *classic*.) [15:43:49] * Kane pulls off his Big Concealing Cloak, revealing a suit of Big Impressive Orihalcon armor, with a large silver diaklaive on its back, in some clamps built into the armor. "We should be able to set a better pace than the horses, and we've got a lot of ground to cover. Pack light." [15:44:16] * Kane grabs a good amount of provisions and straps them on, then picks up his sledge. [15:44:35] ( Oh, and if you check, it's reasonably obvious he wasn't wearing the armor before he took the cloak off.) [15:44:47] * Alitheia nods, and lightens her load. [15:45:14] * Ximena ditches a few pretty rocks she picked up. And some other stuff. [15:46:53] Everybody ready? [15:47:08] Ready. [15:48:22] * Alike finally stands up straight, and it seems like she's cleared her head. She walks to Kane. "I must leave, Tiankol. I will see you. If the Fae or the Soulless don't destroy you and make a goblet from your skull." She grins predatorially, kisses Kane, and dashes into the forest with far more alacrity than should be physically possible. [15:49:29] * Alitheia watches her leave. "Charming girl. Maybe I could introduce her to Randohl." [15:49:54] At least she's njot tryuing to kill me _too_, like that Dragon-Blood. [15:50:17] Of course, the Dragon-blood isnt' a problem, as I can out-fight _her_. [15:50:35] Ximena? Are you ready to go? [15:50:41] I still don't see why yah dont' like 'er! She seemed nice enough! Ah'm all set! [15:50:55] Right. Let's go. [15:51:01] * Kane sets off at a fast jog in the right direction. [15:51:20] * Alike is now known as NPC [15:51:22] ( Which, since he's wearing what is problaby 400 pounds of armor, is problaby rather loud. ) [15:52:05] * Alitheia follows Kane, matching his pace. [15:52:27] * Ximena runs! [15:53:12] * I assume you stop to rest at the next nightfall? [15:54:03] ( Plus an hour or two, I think. ) [15:54:47] ( I'd assume so. ) [15:55:24] (wee) [15:55:47] ( ) [15:56:29] * In the middle of the next afternoon, you reach what you think is the Wyld. Or at least, the way the lake stays rock still while the trees around it ripple up and down, and the way reality seemed to weaken several miles back. [15:57:24] * Kane pulls the cover off of the Cold Iron head of his sledge. "Stay alert, they should be nearby." [15:57:38] Well, shit. So this is it. [15:57:53] Yowza! it is all topsy turvy! [15:58:35] * Alitheia draws her sword. [15:59:01] * Ximena readies herself. [15:59:04] * Kane retreives Flying Silver Dream from the clamps it's in, which release it with little *chunk* noises, then puts the handle of the sledge in. [15:59:22] * At the sound of Ximena's voice, a gigantic stone head rises from the lake. It turns to stare for a brief time, then turns back, rising fully out of the water, and walking slowly away on eight stone, spiderlike legs. [15:59:50] * Alitheia raises an eyebrow. [16:00:35] * Kane looks around for tracks or something to indicate where to find the Fair Folk. "Now we need to find where they're hiding." [16:00:58] ...what tha heck wuz THAT?! [16:01:35] A giant stone head on spidery legs. Who knows what it was before the Wyld got to it. [16:01:58] Be on the lookout for tracks or something. We want to spend as little time here as possible. [16:02:32] ... I bet it was a... grasshopper! [16:02:58] * Ximena looks around for tracks or something! [16:03:13] * The only tracks were the gigantic puncture-wounds in the earth that the Moaider left behind it. Which are now beginning to scab over. [16:03:14] * Kane starts cautiosly advancing in whatever looks like the most likely direction for the Fair Folk to be hiding. [16:03:33] * Alitheia grimaces a bit. [16:03:54] * Kane looks at the punctures. "... So much for tracks, it seems." [16:04:24] We won't get all transformad from bein` out here will we? [16:04:42] Not if we're quick. [16:06:23] * As you wander through the Wyld area, you hear voices to the northeast. Specifically, Lenoria moaning like a banshee, and a man. [16:06:32] Sun protect us... [16:06:32] Ah. There we go. [16:06:37] * Ximena !s and starts heading that way! [16:06:50] ( So Lenoria's moaning like a male banshee? ) [16:06:50] * Kane nods and runs off in that direction, daiklaive at the ready. [16:07:00] * Alitheia runs after the two. [16:07:19] ( I think he means "two voices", "lenoria moaning like a banshee", and "some guy makingf some kind of noise". ) [16:07:26] * Deyton groans and gives up some on the idea of help. "I'm gonna die here..." [16:09:49] * Ximena grabs an arrow from her quiver as she runs. [16:11:58] * Jex (l33tl3ss@AC957B13.ipt.aol.com) Quit (Quit: Nosh.) [16:12:02] * Alitheia runs flat out. [16:13:00] * Kane does too, Flying Silver Dream ready to strike. [16:13:11] * When you get there, the two are chained to a stone wall, arms above their heads, and legs clamped to the ground. Lenoria's high as a fucking bishop, and seems to be enjoying herself, despite her near-constant screaming. The other is not in as good shape. [16:14:39] * Alitheia scowls angrily. "Monsters." She looks around for any guards. [16:14:51] * Their arms and legs are bound by ornate locks that anyone who knows about the Fae can tell are works of Glamour. [16:15:01] *None that you can see, at the very least. [16:15:22] * Kane glances around, then runs over to cut them down. [16:15:33] "...Trickery?" [16:16:01] * Ximena keeps guard as Kane runs up. [16:16:27] Hold still. [16:16:32] 3 d10 [16:16:32] * Dicesuke throws the bones for NPC (3 d10) and gets 10 4 7. [16:16:36] * Kane starts cutting Deyton free. [16:16:39] * Deyton grows rather wide-eyed at the sight of an armored, daiklaive-wielding man. "Keep back! I know your plan!" [16:17:26] Stop whining. The Unconquered Sun has sent your salvation. [16:17:32] * Alitheia walks over to Deyton, lowering her sword and moving slowly. "No, it's not what you think." [16:17:40] * An arrow whistles through the air, embedding itself between Kane and Deyton. A voice rings out. [16:17:47] * NPC is now known as Ravagers [16:17:53] * Ximena looks towarsd the source! [16:18:27] * Alitheia whirls in the direction of the arrow. [16:18:40] * Deyton proceeds, in his elation, to ignore the incredibly obvious arrow in favor of his excellent luck. "Rescuers? Sent by the Sun! I am to be freed!" [16:18:55] ( do I need to roll to cut Deyton down? ) [16:18:55] "Stand away from the prisoner, fool! The lords demand his presense!" [16:19:22] (Nope. The chains are good, but they're not meant to stand up to this.) [16:19:47] * Kane cuts the chains with two or three quick swipes and looks toward the voice. [16:20:00] * Alitheia raises her sword again, getting into a ready stance. [16:20:01] * Ravagers are a group of humans, led by what once may have been an attractive young woman. They all carry bows. [16:20:33] * Ravagers have mud smeared accross their faces, and they dress in clothes that blend in with the surrounding forest. [16:20:34] * Deyton collapses in a crumpled heap of tired, dirty arms in his lap. [16:21:03] * Alitheia looks saddened as she faces the Ravagers, but doesn't back down. [16:22:02] * The leader speaks up again. "You don't give yourselves up? Stanton, tell the lords of the intruders!" [16:22:30] Let none of them get away. We want to take the leaders by suprise if we can. [16:22:39] * One of the Ravagers runs further to the northeast. The rest nock their bows, taking aim. [16:22:46] We will free you! [16:22:49] * Kane dashes forward, ready to attack. [16:23:01] * Alitheia speaks up, her accent missing again. "We do not recognize the authority of your lords. Do not interfere with us." [16:23:04] * Ximena fires her bow at the one running. [16:23:18] (There are roughly a dozen left.) [16:23:44] * Archery roll, then init. [16:23:46] * Alitheia rushes forward to meet the humans. [16:24:22] * Deyton mutters to himself about his rescuers having their priorities out of line. "Worry about saving me, not killing them, would you? And what about the woman I've been chained alongside?" Backs away from the fight as much as possible, nearing Lenoria in chains. [16:24:32] ( Init is what, again? ) [16:24:34] 11 d10 [16:24:34] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Ximena (11 d10) and gets 7 10 2 8 6 10 8 6 1 9 6. [16:24:48] (d10 plus your Dex plus Wits plus the Speed of your weapon, if any. ) [16:24:54] (Dex+Wits+d10+Speed.) [16:24:55] (8 successes) [16:25:10] ( Woo! You do... broadhead, I assume... 16L damage to him before armor! ) [16:25:48] 8 d10 [16:25:49] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Alitheia (8 d10) and gets 8 10 7 5 10 4 5 6. [16:25:53] ( Now Charles applies soak, and tells you how many dice to roll. [16:26:11] ( Er, you roll 1d10+Dex+Wits+The Speed of you weapon, if applicable, for init. ) [16:26:26] ( That was my init. ) [16:26:35] ( OH! ) [16:26:40] ( ... ) [16:26:47] d10+7 [16:26:48] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Alitheia (d10+7) and gets 8. [16:27:00] ( ...dicey, you ass. ) [16:27:05] d10+111 [16:27:05] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kane (d10+111) and gets 120. [16:27:10] ( whoops. ) [16:27:17] d10+11 [16:27:18] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kane (d10+11) and gets 18. [16:27:19] d10+7 [16:27:19] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Ximena (d10+7) and gets 15. [16:28:06] * The arrow whistles through the air, and buried itself deep in Stanton's chest, pinning him to a tree he was running past, killing him before he could make a sound. Stanton's out like a deaf kid in musical chairs. [16:28:37] ( Oh, right, the "Extras" thing. ) [16:29:12] d10+4 [16:29:12] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Ravagers (d10+4) and gets 13. [16:29:32] (Kane, Ximena, Ravagers, 'Theia.) [16:29:32] ( ... Wow, that was one hell of a good init roll for them. ) [16:29:37] ( /me flips Dicey off. ) [16:30:10] * Fight start! [16:30:16] * Kane rushes into the middle of them, attacking two on his right, then switching his sword to his other hand and brining it in a smooth arc around to swipe through four on his left. [16:30:22] (BRB PP) [16:30:28] ( Splitting Dice pool six ways. Do I get any stunt bonus for that? ) [16:31:19] (b) [16:31:47] (+1) [16:32:01] ( And on to resolving attacks!) [16:32:04] 13 d10 [16:32:04] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kane (13 d10) and gets 10 9 9 1 1 2 5 8 4 3 2 4 5. [16:32:16] ( 5 successes ) [16:32:20] * Calli (Gally@slip-32-103-231-33.ca.us.prserv.net) has joined #exalted [16:32:23] 12 d10 [16:32:23] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kane (12 d10) and gets 9 6 7 4 6 9 1 6 7 8 8 1. [16:32:32] (HISS!) [16:32:34] ( 6 successes ) [16:32:37] * Calli is now known as Xemina [16:32:44] 11 d10 [16:32:44] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kane (11 d10) and gets 9 3 10 1 7 1 6 9 1 8 9. [16:32:53] ( 7 successes ) [16:32:57] (Wait, I though it started off with "Pool Minus Number of actions", and then went down from there.) [16:32:59] 10 d10 [16:32:59] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kane (10 d10) and gets 8 4 3 1 9 2 10 7 7 2. [16:33:10] ( /me is confused, evidently not understanding pool splitting. ) [16:33:17] ( Yeah, 18, minus 6, plus one for the stunt. ) [16:33:33] (Oh, forgot Accuracy.) [16:33:48] ( 6 successes ) [16:33:51] 9 d10 [16:33:51] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kane (9 d10) and gets 6 2 3 9 3 2 2 10 7. [16:34:04] (/me is evil and roots for a botch) [16:34:09] ( And 4 successes ) [16:34:27] * Ximena (Gally@slip-32-103-230-13.ca.us.prserv.net) Quit (Ping timeout) [16:34:59] * Six of the Ravagers fall underneath Kane's blade, still not comprehending what just happened to them. Ximena! [16:35:10] (how many left?) [16:35:14] * Xemina is now known as Ximena [16:35:23] ( 6, I belive. ) [16:35:28] (Five.) [16:35:41] ( Close enough. ) [16:37:07] (okay, splitting pool 4 ways, 2 attack 2 to dodge) [16:37:23] * Ximena digs her feet into the ground as she notches another arrow. She picks out her targets. The ones on each end of the group. She fires and then hurridly fires again, a gleefull smile on her face. [16:37:33] 7 d10 [16:37:33] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Ximena (7 d10) and gets 9 6 7 6 1 3 6. [16:37:42] (2 successes) [16:37:47] 6 d10 [16:37:47] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Ximena (6 d10) and gets 4 1 10 7 3 6. [16:37:51] (3) [16:38:28] ( For... 10L and 11L damage before armor on the two guys. ) [16:39:38] * Two more catch arrows.

Do that a bit slower, maybe? @_@ ) [16:40:20] (i thought you said there were 4 left) [16:40:25] (One managed to get through armor.) [16:40:25] ( ...shit, I could really use a magical weapon. ^^; ) [16:40:32] (ahs) [16:40:47] (Calli: You didn't kill the ones you shot.) [16:40:50] * Jex (l33tl3ss@AC841E61.ipt.aol.com) has joined #Exalted [16:40:53] (5 left even) [16:41:01] (...Whoops.) [16:41:16] ( And I'm going to not waste Essence blocking these puny attacks. ) [16:41:19] (I'll disregard a success and reroll damage.) [16:41:22] 2 d10 [16:41:22] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Ravagers (2 d10) and gets 7 10. [16:41:31] (...Two health levels. ^^;;;;) [16:42:14] ( ... So, uh, what just happened? It looked to me like 3 of them hit... ) [16:42:47] (I disregarded a success, since I rolled one too many attacks.) [16:42:51] ( Ah, okay. ) [16:43:04] (Only one health level each after soak, and both of them made their wound roll.) [16:43:12] ( /me nods. Gr. ) [16:43:26] * Theia! [16:44:01] * Alitheia just stabs at one of the unwounded ones, since she doesn't have badass attacking skillz.

[16:44:45] ( SHould've attacked one of the wounded ones. _I'm_ the one with enough dmaage to automatically kill any Extra I hit. ) [16:44:58] ( Well, at least these ones. ) [16:45:23] ( So, er...how many successes was that? ) [16:45:28] ( 4. ) [16:45:34] (eeeee i know more then Alitheia:>) [16:45:41] ( Everything over 7 is one success. 10s get anothe bonus success. ) [16:45:44] (7up for a success. 10 counts double.) [16:46:04] ( So you just did Your Basic Damage For Weapon + 4 against that guy. ) [16:46:10] ( Oh. I thought 1 cancelled a success. ) [16:46:20] (Not for Exalts.) [16:46:35] (Okay. So that's a whopping 6 damage. ) [16:46:52] (8, actually. Less 3 for his armor.) [16:47:04] ( Oh, right. Strength. ) [16:47:15] ( Well, STR + Weapon Dam + 4, but I was assuming you'd noted down what STR + WEapon Dam was already. ) [16:47:26] * As the Ravagers nock another arrow, Alitheia manages to thrust into one of them, drawing blood. [16:47:52] ( End of round, time for new INIT? ) [16:48:04] * Two arrows managed to find their way through Kane's armor, while the girls assisted in the slaughter of the fae's pawns. New init.

[16:48:49] ( But my sheer number of dice will crush them regardless. ) [16:48:54] (They're soulless halfmen. Just like him.) [16:49:21] * Alitheia pulls her sword back and whirls around, slicing again at the Ravager she attacked. [16:49:29] 7 d10 [16:49:30] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Alitheia (7 d10) and gets 7 9 8 1 4 1 2. [16:49:50] ( That sounds like it should probalby be worth a stunt bonus of one, but, eh, nobody's used Essence yet and you hit anyway. ) [16:50:28] (Yeah, most attacks other than 'I hits teh Orc with my ax' gets a one-die bonus,) [16:50:45] (Provided they're original. Not the same thing over and over.) [16:51:20] * The ravager is cut deeper, but fails to crumble. [16:51:43] ( ... wow my computer is fucking up hang on a minute I need to close shit ) [16:51:53] ( Okay there we go. ) [16:53:01] * Kane! [16:53:15] ( How many left? Five? ) [16:53:40] (Yeah. Three badly wounded.) [16:54:22] * Kane slashes upwards against one of hte uninjured, slashes accross the other and two of the badly wounded, then stabs trhough the last one. [16:54:57] ( ... Can I just _Assume_ I get one stunt die unless I'm doingsomething really creative or boring? ) [16:55:08] (Pretty much.) [16:55:25] ( And that's a five-way split, and the stunt die cancels out wound epnatlies... [16:55:45] 13 d10 [16:55:45] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kane (13 d10) and gets 9 9 7 9 5 3 1 5 3 3 2 4 4. [16:55:52] (The threshold for two dice is intereacting with the environment.

Fight over. [16:58:35] ( Ha! ) [16:58:49] * Kane lets go of Flying Silver Dream, which starts orbiting him, and pulls out the two arrows and staunches the bleeding by force of will. [16:58:53] * Ximena looks at Kane,"Whoa! Yah were great!!!" [16:58:55] ( Do I need to actually roll for that? ) [16:59:09] I told you I specialized in hitting thigns with swords until they stop moving. [16:59:23] * Alitheia bows her head sadly, and speaks quietly. "I am sorry that I could not prevent your fate." [17:00:06] * Alitheia looks back up, staring at Kane. "You're one hell of a fighter." Her accent seems to be back in place. [17:00:12] * Deyton is...well, for the most part, petrified, stammering, and still rather braindead. "I...I...I..." [17:00:13] But yah were just.... the best!! Oh Ali, lighten up! We freed 'em!! Now lets go free tha people that are still breathin`!! [17:00:38] * Kane fnishes forcing his wounds to stop bleeding by sheer force of will and goes to cut Lenoria down. [17:01:08] * Ximena looks around for thier missing horsie! [17:01:11] Damn, she looks out of it. [17:01:26] (Nope. Exalts stop bleeding easily.) [17:01:43] "I...I...I... ... ... ... Sword." [17:01:51] * Alitheia smiles in a slightly forced manner at Ximena. "Oi, Kane! Do I have time to deal with the bodies, are are we goin' after the leaders?" [17:02:28] ( Demota is back. x.x ) [17:02:39] * Kane swipes away Lenoria's chains and catchesh er as she falls. "We kept any of them from getting away, and none of them ahd time to scream. I think we can afford a little time to deal with the bodies." [17:02:43] ( Perfect ) [17:02:50] * Kane shakes Lenoria. "Are you okay?" [17:02:55] Lenoria sure does look happy as a pig in slops! Maybe we should do to 'er whatevar they did to 'er more often! [17:03:05] * DemoSleep is now known as Lenoria [17:03:13] * Lenoria wakes up in Kane's arms.. [17:03:15] * Alitheia nods, and moves from body to body, touching each one and causing it to burn to ash. [17:03:25] ( 13 bodies, 13 Essence, right? ) [17:03:27] What... happened? [17:03:33] ( "In the Wyld, nobody can hear you scream. Becuase you don't have time to before the heavily-armed Dawn cuts you in half. ) [17:03:34] "Sword." [17:03:50] (12 bodies, 12 Essence.) [17:03:51] I had an interesting dream... [17:03:53] ( Actually, Lenoria, I think you werne't "unconcious" so much as "drugged to the gills". ) [17:03:56] * Ximena looks at Deyton and waves!"Hi! Whats yah name?" [17:04:03] ( Oh, okay. ) [17:04:27] "Swor--Deyton." [17:04:33] ... why's this guy? [17:04:37] * Alitheia walks back to the rest of the group. "Done. No worries about any of'em coming back." [17:05:02] ( You spending that out of Peripheral? If so, check the table on page 149. ) [17:05:48] Hi, Deyton!! Ah'm Ximena! Thats Kane! Thats Alitheia, but I just call her Ali cuase Alitheiah is a really long name! And thats Lenoriah! [17:05:55] ( ... MAKE AS MUCH OF THAT PERSONAL AS YOU CAN. Level 12 on the chart is "visible for miles". ) [17:06:47] ( 9 personal, 3 peripheral. ) [17:06:59] ( Excellent, you've jsut got the "gilmmering caste mark" effect. ) [17:07:27] * Kane is still bieng orbited by his sword. "Lenoria, do you think you can wlak now?" [17:07:32] Yeah.... [17:07:35] * Lenoria stands up, slowly. [17:07:36] * Ravagers is now known as NPC [17:07:37] What happened? [17:07:45] "...Kane. he's th one who freed me, yes? ... You have no idea how many thanks I owe to you. I was going to die, you know. Going to die dirty, filthy, stinky, messy... They ruined my clothes. Do any of you have my bow and quiver?" [17:08:10] * Kane grabs Flying Silver Dream out of the air. "I'm not sure. Somehow the Fair Folk managed to kidnap you, and apparenlty drug you. [17:08:18] * Lenoria nods... [17:08:19] * Ximena watches Kane's sword and awwws when he grabs it. [17:08:32] I had a weird dream of some kind... [17:08:40] There was what appeared to by a Wyld Barbarian in it. [17:09:01] Pleasure to help, Deyton. S'what we set out to do. Were you with one'a the caravans? [17:09:04] He was strong, and compassionate... and had cat-like ears for some reason. [17:09:33] * Kane nods at Lenoria. "Or possibly a Lunar exalt. Very interesting. Anybody see anything that looks like they took it form the caravans around here?" [17:09:46] * Lenoria looks around [17:10:10] * Alitheia glances around. "You see anything, Xi?" [17:10:11] * The only thing aside from forest was the stone wall. And that's melting into the ground. [17:10:22] Damn. [17:10:28] * Kane kicks at what's left of the wall. [17:10:34] Deyton, can you fight unarmed? [17:10:37] * It cries. [17:10:40] * Deyton struggls up and away from where Lenoria was. "Caravans? Did they survive? The caravans, woman!" [17:11:06] You're the first suriving human we've found. [17:11:10] I ain't found nothin`! [17:11:19] "If I have to. We must find the caravan!" [17:11:24] No. [17:11:26] We got called out here to deal with the caravans! [17:11:55] We were hired by the leaders of Great Forks to eradicate the Fair Folk. Recovering the caravan's cargo comes second. [17:12:13] "To you, maybe." [17:12:15] So we still gotta job ta do! [17:12:45] ( You don't need to use ""s if it's not in a /me, Deyton. Just so you know. ) [17:12:52] * Alitheia (Yonjuuni@wnpgmb01dc2-res-28-177.mts.net) Quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) [17:13:04] ( Habit. ) [17:13:15] * It's worth noting that there's a fairly clear path that Stanton tried to run along before Xi impaled him. [17:13:30] * Kane points Flying Silver Dream at Deyton. "The Fair Folk are a threat. If they have not destroyed the cargo already, it will wait for us to destroy them." [17:13:44] Is everybody ready to move? [17:14:01] Yes... just update me on the situation. [17:14:17] We're in the Wyld patch. They're down that path. It's time to go kill them. [17:14:21] Any questions? [17:14:26] No. [17:14:28] Can I have a cookie? [17:14:47] I'll take that as a "No, I have no questions", Ximena. [17:15:08] * Deyton is rather uncertain on is feet as he moves towards the Exalted folk. [17:15:12] * Ximena giggles and starts walking, winking at Kane as she passes him. [17:15:27] * Kane starts walking down the path. [17:15:41] I really, really don't like this place, you know... [17:15:45] * Lenoria walks along... [17:15:54] Which is why we're going to go kill them RIGHT NOW, so we don't have to spend am inute longer than we have to here. [17:16:13] * As you walk down the path, you begin to hear voices speaking in a language you don't comprehend. [17:16:22] * Kane releases Flying SIlver Dream to orbit him, and draws his sledge. [17:16:27] (Don't Fair Folk speak Old Realm? ) [17:16:39] (Ah. Dur.) [17:16:59] s/a language you don't comprehend/Old Realm. [17:17:09] ( Yeah, "lanugage of choice for demons, spirits, and Fair Folk". ) [17:17:12] ( ANd I speak it! ) [17:17:16] ( So do I! ) [17:17:35] (i got 2 dots in linquistics... do i?_ [17:17:44] (Only if you choose it.) [17:18:25] ( That lets you know a total of three lanaugaes, conting your native one. ) [17:18:28] ( Is it safe to assume that, with Linguistics 3, I do as well? Out of curiosity, considering I hadn't selected languages yet. ) [17:18:43] ( Got Lore 1? If so, you can take Old Realm, and it's a pretty good choice. ) [17:18:57] (got lore 1. I take oldrealm) [17:19:02] * NPC is now known as Noble [17:19:18] * Scorpion (CHBoucher@dialup-67.25.0.64.Dial1.Manchester1.Level3.net) has joined #Exalted [17:19:18] ( *does too, will fill the rest out afterwards* ) [17:20:12] (... And Theia is not here. ) [17:20:15] * Shark (CHBoucher@dialup-67.25.0.64.Dial1.Manchester1.Level3.net) has joined #Exalted [17:20:17] * Alitheia (Yonjuuni@wnpgmb01dc2-res-35-74.mts.net) has joined #exalted [17:20:25] (Stupid computer) [17:20:37] ( There we go! We're now nearing the clearning the Fae are in. Do you speak Old REalm? ) [17:20:48] ( Yes, as a matter of fact, I do. ) [17:20:58] * Ram (CHBoucher@dialup-67.25.0.64.Dial1.Manchester1.Level3.net) has joined #Exalted [17:21:00] ( Cool, that's everybody. Now, I need to visit the little Dawn's room. BRB. ) [17:21:01] ( Someone cp me what I missed? ) [17:21:17] ( OOCness regarding language. ) [17:21:40] ( And, we're nearing the Fair Folk clearing, apparently. ) [17:21:54] ( Time for a little ethnic cleansing! ) [17:22:33] ( Back. ) [17:23:10] I'm assuming the girl is secured, yes? A Child of the Sun as a tool would be most... Advantageous. [17:23:51] Aye. An' th' other. We've got th' little bitch tanked up to th' gills. [17:23:55] * Kane waves everybody to stop. [17:23:59] * Lenoria stops [17:24:01] * Ximena ooos,"Ah think they're talkin` 'bout yooooooou Lenoriah!" she whispers. [17:24:07] * Alitheia comes to a stop. [17:24:09] * Kane shushes Ximena. [17:24:49] * Deyton stops, somewhat mindlessly. [17:25:00] The other's not our concern. We will have the servants random him if we can. Or kill him if we cannot. [17:25:09] (Ransom) [17:25:24] "Oh, goodie. Toldja I was dead." [17:25:37] * Alitheia scowls. [17:25:42] * Kane GLARES at Deyton and hisses "shut up!" to him. [17:26:34] * Deyton shuts up, chop chop. [17:26:44] And why do the servants always get to kill, master? I could- [17:27:33] No. They are levers. Simple tools. And you would be best advised to leave the menial work to them, lest your edge be dulled. I have no use for a dulled sword. [17:29:33] What of the girl's artefacts, sir? Shall I have them destroyed? [17:29:52] * Ximena looks at Kane, sorta impatiant like. [17:29:59] * Kane looks to Lenoria. "do you have your artifacts?" [17:30:02] No. She can use them when we break her. [17:30:56] * Alitheia 's scowl deepens. [17:31:23] * Ximena snickers softly. [17:32:23] ( /me pokes Lenoria? ) [17:32:25] * Lenoria don't need to be broken to use those artifacts. No, sirree. [17:32:44] ( I asked you if you had them. It would be nice if you would, y'know, tell me. ) [17:32:50] ( Sorry. ^^; ) [17:32:54] * Lenoria holds up her artifacts. [17:33:16] (It'd be nice if you people stopped squatting in foliage so I didn't need to keep on making up dialogue. ^^;;;) [17:33:36] * Deyton grimaces and mutters under his breath. "Sure, she gets her toys... they took my bow AND my swords..." [17:33:38] ( I need to urinate. I will use these bushes here ) [17:33:39] ( I was kinda waiting to see if somebody woul,d, you know, come to cehck on the Ravagers or for them to sotp saying useful stuff. ^_^;;;;;) [17:33:48] * Alitheia 's scowl changes to a grin. "At least they're not very bright." [17:33:57] * Kane grins evilly. [17:34:08] * Kane kicks a tree. "Ow!" [17:34:19] * Kane then, in another voice, says "SHH! don't let them know we're here!" [17:34:24] * Dicesuke (dice@155.92.101.82) Quit (Ping timeout) [17:34:51] * Kane motions everybody off the path and mouths "Ambush" at them. [17:34:55] * Lenoria nods [17:34:58] ...Klathel. Burn the forest. [17:35:06] Yes, sir. [17:35:06] ... Damn. [17:35:16] ...aw, blast. [17:35:22] * Kane raises his sledge and runs into the clearing screaming. [17:35:25] ...Still gonna die. [17:35:27] * Lenoria leaps out of the bushes with her fans! [17:35:28] ...that soooooo didn't work. Lets just go kick ass! [17:35:40] * Ximena climps up a tree on the edge o the clearing! [17:35:44] climbs [17:35:46] * Alitheia bursts out of the bushes, sword at the ready. [17:35:50] * Deyton shrigs and follows suit, raving like a madman whilst stumbling in a tired and pained manner. [17:36:19] ( Don't forget, Ximena, that Graceful Crane Stance will let you stand on twigs and stuff like that. ) [17:36:40] (rightio! how do i use charms anyway? Just say I am and knock off the essance points?) [17:36:58] ( Dependso n if they're Reflexive, Supplmental, or Simple. ) [17:37:24] ( ... ) [17:37:30] * Dicesuke (dice@155.92.101.82) has joined #Exalted [17:37:33] ( For Graceful Crane Stance: Yes. ) [17:37:39] ( GCS! The charm of choice for CLAMP characters everywhere! ) [17:38:10] * You rush into the clearing just as one of the Fae, who seems to be a scorpion man, natural plates covering his body, with vestigal arms, looses his third burning arrow into the trees. The clearing seems like a normal bandit camp, with chests of treasure, a sturdy oak table, several chairs, and the like. A fair amount of the trees surrounding it are now ablaze and screaming, though mercifully, not the one Xi is on. [17:38:15] * Roll init. [17:38:23] d10+11 [17:38:24] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kane (d10+11) and gets 15.

[17:39:16] d10+8 [17:39:16] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Scorpion (d10+8) and gets 9. [17:39:16] ( Or, if you did the math and added Dex + Wits + Speed of wepaon and noted it down in the weapon's stat block, just add that. ) [17:39:16] ( Holy shit, them Nobles are FAST. ) [17:39:16] ( Fists included? ) [17:39:27] ( Fists what? ) [17:39:32] ( As a weapon ) [17:39:43] ( Fists have a speed of 0. As such, they're 1d10+Dex+Wits. ) [17:39:46] d10+10 [17:39:47] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Shark (d10+10) and gets 20. [17:40:03] d10+5 [17:40:03] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Deyton (d10+5) and gets 8. [17:40:17] d10+9 [17:40:18] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Ram (d10+9) and gets 16.

[17:41:14] ( Do any of the Fae look like they're NOT armored? ) [17:41:57] (The Noble seems to be wearing court robes, but if you know anything about them you wouldn't trust that. The Shark just has leather pants.) [17:42:57] * Noble dashes across the clearing, springing off the table, twisting in midair and bringing his glass blade down on Kane. [17:43:14] 16 d10 [17:43:14] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Noble (16 d10) and gets 8 5 8 6 2 6 10 2 7 10 4 10 8 6 3 2.

Hang on, lemme check if 10s count as 2 on damage rolls. ) [17:47:27] ( No. ) [17:47:37] (2 levels. And his sword has a special ability that makes it halve armor, thusly that result.) [17:47:43] ( Ah. ) [17:48:11] * Noble drives his sword through Kane's armor, though is caught off guard, a deep gash ploughed in his flesh. [17:48:24] Augh! You bastard! [17:48:33] *Shark! [17:48:52] ( ... Oooh, sounds like Noble forgot to split his dice pool to have some defenses. ) [17:50:06] ( ... I'm confused again. ) [17:50:19] (just do what I am. wait for your turn then annoy z) [17:50:21] * Shark rushes at Lenoria, opening his distended jaw wide, attempting to bite her. [17:50:42] 6 d10 [17:50:42] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Shark (6 d10) and gets 5 6 3 3 7 2. [17:51:10] (Attempting to dodge or parry?) [17:51:18] ( Parry. ) [17:51:32] ( Don't you have Dodge charms? If you aprry now, you don't get any attacks. ) [17:51:58] ( Oh. I do have dodge. ) [17:52:02] ( However, Reflexive charms don't count against your actiosn, and can be used before your initative. ) [17:52:17] ( And Shark only got one success, so you only need one Didge success to avoid it entirely. ) [17:52:25] * Lenoria attempts to dodge. [17:52:36] ( Er. ) [17:52:49] 6 d10 [17:52:49] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Lenoria (6 d10) and gets 9 3 6 9 5 3. [17:53:24] ( You can "abort to parry" or "full dodge" before your initative. This takes up your entire action for hte round, and you can't split it and don't get to attack later. SOmething like a refleixve Dodge charm would lety ou dodge _and_ still attack, which is why I used Dipping Swallow Defense, so I could still beat thigns up later. ) [17:53:28] (Describe your dodge, then Ali.) [17:53:47] * Lenoria slides out of the way of the bite, as Shark likely gets a mouthful of soil instead. [17:54:32] * Ali! [17:54:43] * Alitheia hits the ground running as she leaves the foilage, and bears down on Shark, running full tilt. Once she reaches him, she whirls around, slicing savagely with her sword. [17:54:46] (Or... You use Snake Style. Serpentine Evasion adds your Martial Arts to a single dodge attempt, which, note, _Can_ add to a dodge attempt of 0, thus giving you a dodge of your Martial Arts score. ) [17:55:00] (And I'm splitting my pool for a defense later. ) [17:55:10] 6 d10 [17:55:10] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Alitheia (6 d10) and gets 10 1 10 6 2 2. [17:55:25] ( 4 successes, then? ) [17:55:50] (She doesn't have any MA charms yet. So she uses Snake Style, but not the Snake Style Charms.) [17:55:54] (Yeah.) [17:56:22] (Roll 6 dice to damage.) [17:56:29] 6 d10 [17:56:29] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Alitheia (6 d10) and gets 9 5 2 7 2 3. [17:57:01] * Theia cuts a deep, unbleeding furrow in the Warrior. [17:57:22] *Ram! [17:58:32] * Ram charges headlong at Kane, turning his charge into a near-pirouette with his Greataxe as he reaches him. [17:59:00] 8 d10 [17:59:00] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Ram (8 d10) and gets 9 4 10 9 6 2 8 6. [17:59:08] ( Parry! ) [17:59:14] 14 d10 [17:59:14] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kane (14 d10) and gets 1 7 8 7 4 5 9 10 6 2 7 9 5 7. [17:59:27] ( 9 successes on my parry. ) [17:59:39] ( And now, counterattack: ) [17:59:42] 17 d10 [17:59:43] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kane (17 d10) and gets 2 9 3 9 9 2 9 5 9 9 1 10 5 5 3 1 4. [17:59:56] ( 8 successes on my counter. ) [17:59:58] (dicey likes 9s) [18:00:08] * Ximena (Gally@slip-32-103-231-33.ca.us.prserv.net) has left #exalted [18:00:15] ( I rolled more successes on my parry than the guy rolls on his attack. HAH! ) [18:00:22] * Ximena (Gally@slip-32-103-231-33.ca.us.prserv.net) has joined #exalted [18:00:29] (Roll 20 dice to wound.) [18:00:32] ( Than _dice_ he rolled, not successes. ^_^ ) [18:00:33] 20 d10 [18:00:34] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kane (20 d10) and gets 2 6 8 7 8 9 6 10 6 9 1 5 2 3 6 10 10 5 10 4. [18:00:34] (grrr. that double click when i single click is getting REALLY FUCKING ANNOYING) [18:00:48] ( 9 successes to wound. ) [18:01:49] * Kane neatly turns the blow aside, using the momentum from the swing to turn about and decapiitate the Faerie. It falls to the ground, dead. [18:02:01] ( ^__^_V [18:02:10] * Ram (CHBoucher@dialup-67.25.0.64.Dial1.Manchester1.Level3.net) Quit (Quit: Life is like falling up a mountain. It makes no sense, and it hurts like hell.) [18:02:10] (I assume that was his Combo again?) [18:02:13] ( Yes. ) [18:02:22] * Kane [18:02:30] (...How much Essence do you have left?) [18:02:40] ( I've activated the combo: I can now use Dipping Swallow Defense and Solar Counterattack freely until the next Init or I run out of Essence. and 13 personal and 13 peripheral. ) [18:03:05] (Ah, I see.) [18:03:21] ( Okay, who's within reach? Noble, and is Scorpion or Shark? ) [18:03:40] (Shark is within range. Scorpion is standing the hell back.) [18:04:18] * Kane swipes at Noble's legs and then stabs him in the chest, hopefully making him stumble backwards over the handy log there, then backhands Shark. [18:04:24] ( Is that worht 2 Stunt dice? ) [18:04:35] (Sure.) [18:04:43] ( Excellent. 2 more Essence for me! ) [18:05:09] 15 d10 [18:05:09] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kane (15 d10) and gets 4 8 4 9 6 3 5 9 6 6 4 2 5 9 2. [18:05:17] ( 4 successes ) [18:05:20] 14 d10 [18:05:20] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kane (14 d10) and gets 6 6 9 4 6 2 2 7 10 5 10 8 10 8. [18:05:30] ( 10 ) [18:05:32] 13 d10 [18:05:32] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kane (13 d10) and gets 7 1 9 6 5 1 4 6 4 6 3 7 2. [18:05:43] ( 3 ) [18:05:47] 12 d10 [18:05:47] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kane (12 d10) and gets 3 3 4 3 7 3 4 6 3 2 7 5. [18:05:52] ( And 2 for Shark. ) [18:07:34] (The Noble's armor soaks 12 dice from each attack. The shark's hide soaks 2.) [18:08:08] ( So. 8 dice, 14 dice, 7 dice, and 16 dice against Shark. ) [18:08:16] ( Can I roll the ones against Noble in a lump? ) [18:08:23] (Sure.) [18:08:34] 29 d10 [18:08:34] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kane (29 d10) and gets 4 9 4 4 8 5 1 5 1 7 2 2 3 6 10 10 8 9 10 9 5 5 2 1 10 1 7 10 3. [18:08:53] ( 12 damage against Noble. ) [18:08:57] 16 d10 [18:08:57] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kane (16 d10) and gets 5 3 7 5 1 4 9 4 6 6 3 8 10 1 8 6. [18:09:05] ( And 5 against Shark. ) [18:09:18] ( And lemme check on the "footing" thing. ) [18:09:22] * Noble is hacked apart, his essence dissipating to the winds, leaving just his sword behind. [18:09:39] * Noble (CHBoucher@dialup-67.25.0.64.Dial1.Manchester1.Level3.net) Quit (Quit: Life is like falling up a mountain. It makes no sense, and it hurts like hell.) [18:10:00] ( Not that it's relavent, but it is a reflexive action to keep your feet. ) [18:10:50] * Shark screams in pain as he's cut deeper, his pink inner flesh visible through the deep gash. [18:11:16] * Lenoria! [18:12:45] ( And aw. I wanted to take Noble's head back to Great Forks. ) [18:12:53] * Lenoria runs towards Shark with her arms extended as the fans weave through the air. She makes a quick spin, the two fans slicing through the space near Shark [18:13:11] 10 d6 [18:13:11] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Lenoria (10 d6) and gets 2 6 2 5 4 6 2 2 2 6. [18:13:20] ( Er. Hate to bring this up? But didn't Lenoria do a FUll Dodge earlier, and thus gets no action now? ) [18:13:26] ( ... oh. ) [18:13:29] ( Never mind, then ) [18:13:41] (Yeah, and all she did was slice the space, anyways.) [18:13:43] Xi! [18:15:35] ( Xiiiiiiiiii ) [18:17:04] * Ximena balances on twigs that by all right should have snapped if she even LOOKED at them too hard and surveys the scene, her eyes narrowing under her slightly glowing castmark. She aims at the wounded Shark and fires twice at him in rapid sucession, her arrows alight with fire and her castmark flaring brightly. [18:17:12] (/me squishes Lenoria.) [18:17:39] 9 d10 [18:17:39] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Ximena (9 d10) and gets 8 6 3 9 6 9 5 8 8. [18:17:42] 8 d10 [18:17:42] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Ximena (8 d10) and gets 8 8 8 4 7 3 7 7. [18:17:55] (5 and 6) [18:19:06] (He soaks 2 from each. Roll damage.) [18:19:58] ( For a total of 31 levels of damage. Whoo. ) [18:20:32] 31 d10 [18:20:32] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Ximena (31 d10) and gets 2 5 4 3 8 9 7 7 2 8 1 2 10 10 8 2 4 3 5 3 1 10 5 10 1 4 2 10 7 1 5. [18:20:48] ( 12 damage delivered! ) [18:20:59] * Shark is impaled on the arrows, and cooked by the Essence-fires. [18:21:02] * Shark (CHBoucher@dialup-67.25.0.64.Dial1.Manchester1.Level3.net) Quit (Quit: Life is like falling up a mountain. It makes no sense, and it hurts like hell.) [18:21:15] ( Bye bye sharky! ) [18:21:27] (i killed sumthin!) [18:21:29] * Scorpion looks around, his calm broken, and runs. Like a nancy. [18:21:41] * Scorpion (CHBoucher@dialup-67.25.0.64.Dial1.Manchester1.Level3.net) Quit (Quit: Life is like falling up a mountain. It makes no sense, and it hurts like hell.) [18:21:54] ( Aw, I can't hunt him down? ) [18:22:34] (It's a rout. If anything, chasing him down and killing him would be automatic.) [18:22:44] * Kane pursues Scorpion into the woods. [18:22:55] ( Ha! ) [18:23:11] * Alitheia nods to herself and sheathes her sword. "Justic is served." [18:23:28] Yes... [18:24:03] * Deyton remains screaming like a maniac until he falls over a log, and realizes things are good and dead and he can stop the flailing. "I'm gonna live. Thank the Sun for people with swords." [18:24:07] * Kane shortly comes back, holding Scorpion's severed head in one hand, his anima glowing brightly and his Caste mark shining like a tiny sun. [18:24:34] Any sign'a survivors, Kane? [18:24:38] * Congradulations. The Circle now has it's first treasure horde. Shame about the Three wanting it back. [18:24:47] ( Charles? Are there? ) [18:25:16] * Deyton calls out in the general direction of the returning Kane. "The caravan, now. You said." [18:25:24] Hang on a minute. [18:25:35] * Lenoria speaks some sort of funerary rites... [18:25:35] * Ximena leaps down from the tree and starts looting though the treasure! [18:25:45] * Kane lops the head off of Shark, then lets Flying SIlver Dream orbit him and picks up his and Ram's head. [18:25:50] The Three will problaby want these. [18:25:53] Yeah, the caravan. We're gettin'ta that. [18:26:08] * Kane also picks up the Noble's sword and places it in another set of clamps on his armor's back. [18:26:23] ( I assume we're standing in the middle of the stolen cargo? ) [18:26:47] (There were a few surviving merchants and family thereof tied to walls. [18:27:01] * Deyton picks himself up, regaining some of his practiced composure as he dusts off his muddy, stained clothes and attempts to run a hand through his hair. "Excellent." [18:27:33] * Alitheia begins cutting the captives free, speaking soothingly to any that are concious as she does so. [18:28:03] * Kane lets somebody who is NOT covered in whatever Scorpion and Ram used for blood and glowing with the terrible glory of the Unconquered Sun do that. [18:28:26] (Actually, the Fae have no blood.) [18:28:28] * Lenoria stops speaking. "THe rites have been stated. May the departed rest in peace, and never be troubled again." [18:28:28] * Ximena rootroots,"yah know, we don't gotta TELL those big wigs every lil thang we found!" [18:28:59] If I remember waht they said correctly, they would be giving us some of this as part of the reward. [18:29:04] Yes. [18:29:09] ANd they'll likely be more favorably disposed to us the more of it we return. [18:29:13] And it would be wrong to keep that which was not freely given [18:29:20] ... Yes, that too. [18:29:32] Yah but ah bet we'll get hardly NOTHIN`! [18:29:47] * Deyton walks with increasing ease towards the caravan's survivors. Of course, he has some tact and avoids the mention of how few are left. "Some of that haul belongs to this caravan, you know." [18:30:16] 'Sides, you never know. They might notice somethin's missing. I don't wanna piss The Three off, d'you? [18:30:38] * Ximena pouts for about 3 seconds,"ooooooh okay!" then happily runs over to help the people. [18:30:48] They are powerful spirits... [18:30:50] * Lenoria helps peopel [18:31:34] ( Woo. I took a grand total of 4 health levels of damage, it seems. ^_^ ) [18:31:43] ( Did anybody else take any? ) [18:31:51] ( Not a scratch. ^_~ ) [18:32:20] * Alitheia doesn't burn any bodies she might find, because that might imply lack of faith in Lenoria's rites. [18:32:23] * Yay. Everyone helps people. They're understandably terrified, but the efforts of the girls and Deyton managed to bring them down. [18:32:55] * Deyton sighs audibly. [18:33:07] ( The guy standing there holding the decaptitated heads of the three Fae commoners problaby doesn't help them calm down, but the guy holding three heads, glowing with the terrbile glory etc cutting them down himself would problaby be worse. ) [18:33:28] We better get a move on. Don't wanna be in this mess any longer than we hafta. [18:33:43] I concur. [18:33:48] Yes... [18:33:51] (we wrapping up soon?) [18:34:04] (Yep.) [18:34:18] Place gives me the creeps. [18:34:32] If you'll bring along these survivors and myself as a ward of your weapons, at least until I find my own again, I'd be... appreciative. [18:34:44] ( I assume the pack animals problaby got eaten by the Fae/Ravagers? ) [18:34:48] We'll be happy tah! [18:34:52] * Kane nods. [18:34:54] (Yeah) [18:34:55] ( I almost said 'the wiggins'. I've been watching too much Buffy. ) [18:35:18] ( /me checks the Lifting table ) [18:35:25] 'Course we will. Don't even need t'ask. [18:36:13] * Kane gets himself about 500 pounds worth of stuff to carry. [18:36:48] Excellent. *rummages through opened, scattered crates looking for wherever his weapons may have been scattered. A bow, some arrows, and a pair of blades amongst the assortment of caravan and stolen goods...* [18:37:06] * And so, after the caravans were assembled, or as close to assembled as they'd get with what was left, with some of the stronger men helping pull the carts, the caravan creeps back towards Great Forks, the new heroes in tow. [18:37:51] [Session 2 End] Session Close: Mon Jan 27 22:47:07 2003
