Session Start: Fri Aug 11 18:39:50 2006 Session Ident: #Aeoth [18:39:50] * Now talking in #Aeoth [18:39:58] Actually... lemme start up a second one [18:40:00] * Disconnected Session Close: Fri Aug 11 18:40:00 2006 Session Start: Fri Aug 11 18:40:14 2006 Session Ident: #Aeoth [18:40:15] * Now talking in #Aeoth [18:40:23] * Disconnected [18:40:27] * Rejoined channel #Aeoth [18:40:35] 20 d100 [18:40:48] Ah, that's Dem. ^^ [18:40:50] IT CAME FROM THE DICE-POOL! [18:41:01] Aaah. [18:41:04] Change your name. XD [18:41:27] * Clarissa sets mode: +o Zegon [18:41:37] * Dicething is now known as Lucy [18:41:49] * Garret (ardweden@c-24-15-245-98.hsd1.il.comcast.net) Quit (Quit: Reboot!) [18:47:17] * Garret (ardweden@c-24-15-245-98.hsd1.il.comcast.net) has joined #aeoth [18:59:45] * Zegon cracks his knuckles. Okay. [19:07:43] [And you guys, um... oh, right! Biggs! Rescue! Khrosk! Awesome! Huthar! Lame ElfyMcElf! Wedge! Nervous Caravan Runner! UR MOM! Not mentioned except here!] [19:09:41] [*kicks the obvious monster out of his head.* Anyways, leaving you off you were last heading torwards Orc World in company of Khrosk the... Did you go with Mighty or Destroyer or what? and quickly devised a plan to skillfully get Biggs out of whatever undoubtably sticky situation he's in right now. That being have Khrosk go in and steal him. Or bargain for him if that's not really an option. Ya work with what you get, right?] [19:10:11] ( Khrosk the Krusher, I think. ) [19:11:31] [Right, Krosher. Got it. For those of you who forgot, like me, the day is June 11th, sometime midday I think I left you guys off at. But you don't realize anything wrong, because Khrosk the Krosher is awesome. Isn't he? *distraction NPC*] [19:12:51] [So, uh, while Clarissa's player AFKs, anyone have easy world questions I can make up answers for on the spot and have kick me in the ass due to consistancy issues later on?] [19:13:23] ( When's breakfast? ) [19:13:35] [In the morning. Next?] [19:14:12] ( Are we there yet? ) [19:15:07] [No. Ask that again and you lose 1000 exp.] [19:15:08] ( Are there many orc communities that don't center around banditry, and what are those like? ) [19:15:33] ( ;.; ) [19:16:15] [Yes, they tend to be a lot like human communities only with a more 'cut off body parts' legal and political system. Most half-orcs come from these communities, and they tend to be nomadic in nature.] [19:17:54] [Anyways, you're approaching Orc World. It's very... orcish. I believe I described it earlier? How long are you waiting until you send Khrosk in to try and steal/deal for Biggs?] [19:18:20] ( Waiting? Please. Just go. ) [19:18:22] ( Waiting? ) [19:18:39] ( ...I'm on the same page as ND. We're all doomed! ;_; ) [19:18:50] [I mean what time of day are you sending him at, or are you just going 'Sic'em boy!'?] [19:19:02] ( The latter, more or less. Let him handle himself. ) [19:19:19] [Righteo. Khrosk goes in. Would you like me to FF until something happens?] [19:19:42] ( Yes, more or less. ) [19:19:52] ( SUre ) [19:19:57] [Alrighty. Session Start, I'll let you guys talk while I type.] [19:20:54] * Kardos watches the orc community in silence from some cover. He's produced some rags and wrapped them around the shiny bits of his sword. [19:24:15] * Kardos frowns and mutters, "Why does this remind me of something?" [19:24:43] I don't know. Why DOES it remind you of something? [19:25:42] It reminds me of orcs. [19:25:53] [Woah, no shit. Really?] [19:25:55] * Lucy observes the camp from the waiting point. She seems to be taking the sights in as much as she is watching for Khrosk or others. [19:26:02] Shh, I want to hear the punchline, Garret. [19:26:03] * Kardos blinks, and says quietly, "My apologies; I did not know I was speaking out loud." [19:26:11] * Retrieving #Aeoth modes... [19:26:12] Wait. No punchline? [19:26:26] 'Punchline'? [19:26:37] * Garret blinks at Kardos. [19:26:42] ... You don't know what a punchline is, do you. [19:26:56] [Kardos fails.] [19:28:06] * Clarissa sighs and goes back to petting Starbright. [19:28:34] * Kardos sighs. "My apologies once more; I am somewhat new to... many things." He looks embarrassed. [19:29:05] You'll be fine. [19:30:07] On the other hand... Clarissa, you do know that they can likely see your horse from here, if they look this way? [19:30:25] Well, if any of them come this way, kill them. [19:30:46] * Kardos looks back at the camp. "And... what if all of them come this way?" [19:31:32] Easy. [19:31:41] You guys run, and I fly around behind them and rescue that guy. [19:32:28] [After about an hour or so, (and much more jabbing at Kardos's newbieness: we tease because we care. Honest), you hear some shouting from the village/camp/whathaveyou, as well as what can best be described as orcish berserkers yelling battle cries, although you don't hear any real *fighting*.] [19:32:54] ...yes, run. Of course. Perhaps I should start now. [19:33:01] No, I think they're having a party. [19:33:02] * Garret squints. [19:33:32] A party? [19:34:53] How can you tell? [19:35:58] Nobody's died yet. Probably. [19:36:15] Oh. [19:36:17] [You can see Khrosk riding torwards you on a large wolf, the lucky Orc he is having made his hide/move silently rolls easily as well as taming the creature. Slung over his shoulder is a human-shaped blob that seems to be lacking pants. The orcs are still yelling, but it doesn't appear they're yelling at you. Chopping sounds of axes against trees and smoke can be seen coming from the orc camp, though.] [19:37:15] * Kardos blinks. [19:39:08] Oh, looks like he brought a friend. I hope the horses don't go crazy. [19:40:32] [THWUMP! goes a tree as it lands on the ground and cheers can be heard from the orc camp for a few seconds until more raging sounds and more treechopping and burning starts again.] [19:40:53] * Lucy frowns. [19:41:13] Is this, then, how orcs party? Don't most burn smaller plants, and only after drying them? [19:41:51] * Khrosk arrives in a timely fashion, with a slobbering wolf and a pantsless human over his shoulder. "Khrosk get Biggs! Biggs didn't want to go so Khrosk knock him out. Hope he not too mad." ^^ [19:41:56] Hey, there's a lot more to it than drying. [19:42:01] * Garret waves at the orc. "Hey, Khrosk! Are they having a party?" [19:42:04] * Lucy applauds. "Good work." [19:43:15] Khrosk don't know. They either fighting, partying, dancing, praying, eating, playing, or debating. [19:43:24] * Clarissa laughs. [19:43:27] No plan for party today though. [19:43:27] Good job, Khrosk. [19:43:30] Good job, Khrosk. Who's your friend? [19:44:29] Khursk! Good she-dog. Khursk like Biggs lots so Khrosk take. [19:45:09] * Lucy smiles and waves at the wolf. [19:45:19] * Khursk looks very wolfie. [19:45:22] * Garret takes a look at the wolf. "Well, she's not about to eat me. So I have no objections." [19:45:30] Very good job. Go ahead and put Biggs on your horse, and we'll get out of here. [19:45:33] * Khurks also is very big. As in, can eat horses big. [19:45:43] (err, Khursk) [19:46:10] * Kardos nods respectfully to the enormous wold. As long as it doesn't have a luckstone. [19:49:42] * Khrosk plops Biggs on the horse. And he is, in fact, Biggs. And NOT dead (SHOCKU)! He's pantsless, but at least he's wearing shorts and a shirt. It appears the orcs disarmed him and smacked him around a bit, but his other belongings that aren't easily valuable (an engraved steel ring around one of his fingers, for one) are still with him. [19:50:35] Great work. Let's go. Think that elf made it back okay? [19:50:53] [Elfy McElf isn't anywhere to be found.] [19:51:09] ...orcs hate elves a great deal, yes? [19:51:36] I dunno. Not back home, but we don't really hate over there. [19:51:55] More like a healthy and professional disrespect. [19:52:17] * Clarissa stops for a moment. [19:52:22] You can't possibly be serious, Kardos. [19:52:31] He couldn't have been stupid enough to get himself captured. [19:52:47] Do you think so? [19:52:56] Khrosk, did you see any elf back there? [19:53:00] ...frankly, no. [19:53:06] * Clarissa facepalms. [19:54:25] * Khrosk blinks at Lucy. "Yes? Plenty of dead and not-dead elf that anger tribe by being elf." [19:54:45] I also don't think we have any real hope of rescuing any of them. [19:55:41] * Kardos scowls. "Perhaps. Even if we awaken Biggs and arm him, it is six of us to... perhaps one hundred of them. Horrible odds." [19:56:07] [Clarissa's assement is likely to be accurate. Walking off with one human is one thing. Walking off with at least ten elves is something else entirely.] [19:56:07] Clarissa, can you summon creatures that fly and have sharp talons? Large eagles, perhaps? [19:56:21] ( Ten? ) [19:56:25] Yeah... too many. Now, if we could get Biggs back to the caravan, and let them know... well, I've never heard of a Caravan raiding orcs before. [19:56:25] [At least.] [19:56:40] [But you don't know that. Honest.] [19:56:53] I can summon a giant eagle or two, but they'd be shot down. [19:56:59] Best we can do is just send word that we've found the camp. [19:57:03] That would be an interesting reversal. In addition, I doubt the local elven communnities would let this stand. [19:57:18] Even if orcs aren't particularly good archers, there are so many of them that it's simply not viable, let alone optimal. [19:58:03] You are, of course, correct, Clarissa. Perhaps we ought to consider recompense rather than rescue. [19:58:19] They're not going to sell their elves. [19:58:40] * Garret shakes his head. "I just hope he wasn't caught. If he *was*, there isn't much we can do for him now." [19:58:42] * Kardos shakes his head. "I was speaking of 'paying them back for what they've done'." [19:59:38] Vengeance is SO sub-optimal. Killing a few of them can accomplish little besides getting them to chase us all the way back to the caravan. [20:00:57] Agreed. We're here to save Biggs. Let's do that. [20:01:59] Yes. But someone should notify the elves. [20:02:54] They doubtless know already. [20:02:58] [Little does Kardos know the elves know already.] [20:05:32] We've got him, so who'll tell the elves where the camp is, and who'll go back to the caravan? [20:09:06] The elves would take care of their own if they could. Even if we were going to attempt a rescue, now would not be the time. [20:14:35] So... [20:14:47] * Garret looks at Kardos. "You're not going to charge in there, right?" [20:16:02] * Kardos looks at Garret. "Do I honestly seem such a fool?" [20:16:17] Such was never my intent. [20:16:36] Thank Fharl. Let's get back to the caravan, then. [20:16:46] Come along, Khrosk. [20:16:54] * Clarissa mounts up and takes the reins of Starlite. [20:18:28] I guess I'll go let the elves know. This should be over quickly. Meet you back at the caravan? [20:18:46] Can you find your way? [20:18:59] I will go with Lucy. I can find my way, and I know much about elven communities. [20:19:07] As you like. [20:19:14] * Lucy nods [20:19:33] * Garret doffs his hat. "See the pair of you later, then." He looks at Clarissa. "Let's get Biggs back to civilization." Pause. "More civilized civilization, anyway." [20:19:42] * Clarissa nods. [20:19:46] (It would probably be pretty hard to find the elves since you're out in the wilderness, and could take well over two days of travel to get to a community. Not to mention getting back to the caravan would take that amount of time plus the amount of time to get here, which was another day or so.) [20:19:51] * Garret walks off towards where the caravan would probably be. [20:19:57] Come along, Khrosk. [20:20:03] * Clarissa starts back to the caravan. [20:20:04] ( ah. X_x ) [20:20:12] (They're still allowed to do that if they want, though.) [20:20:22] (From a logistics standpoint, it's not very feasable. But you can try that if you want anyways.) [20:20:29] ( I guess we could hire a messenger? ) [20:20:48] ( Fine, Kardos will do it on his own. ) [20:21:21] ( Is there much at risk for taking that sort of time? ) [20:21:29] ( If not, I'd be fine with doing tha twith Kardos ) [20:21:38] (Nothing beyond the caravan possibly leaving without you.) [20:21:50] ( Eugh. ) [20:21:54] (Also, seriously, it's not a tremendously huge deal regardless. Do what's IC. Things work out.) [20:21:57] (You'll likely lose track of the caravan and you'll split the party, thus driving me nuts. But other than that... Not really.) [20:22:09] (Do what's IC, I'll work it out.) [20:22:15] (IF anything, I'll just Fast Forward over it.) [20:22:30] ( Any objections to that? ) [20:22:52] ( Nope. Go for it. ) [20:23:05] ( Alright ) [20:25:52] [Okay, session end to let people cool off and think things over. Not to mention I have to think about how to have the elves and humans respond to your decisions.] [20:26:34] Sorry, guys. [20:26:45] No prob. Just let it out and be ready for next session, okay? ^_^ [20:26:46] * Clarissa is now known as NinjaDebugger [20:26:55] alright [20:27:08] Robin, will you be okay? [20:27:45] Yes. I'm going to go rip up a construction site, and then I'll be fine. [20:28:00] I don't really understand. [20:28:08] 'S fine. [20:28:11] * Kardos is now known as RobinGone [20:33:02] * NinjaDebugger is now known as SleepDebugger [21:07:49] * RobinGone (YU-Mei@host-206-54-194-142.entouch.net) has left #Aeoth [21:12:03] * Disconnected Session Close: Fri Aug 11 21:12:03 2006
