Session Start: Fri Sep 29 18:19:07 2006 Session Ident: #Aeoth [18:19:07] * Now talking in #Aeoth [18:19:12] Also, Ard is the best namer ever. [18:19:17] She helped me with Clarissa's name! [18:19:19] Huh? [18:19:21] Tyt is left over from the orc I think. [18:19:21] Too bad Ard isn't here. [18:19:22] XD [18:19:30] Help me with a name and I won't chew on Demota. [18:19:38] * Zegon chews on Dem. [18:19:40] Gimme character concept [18:19:42] aiiieee [18:20:03] HEALER OF DOOM [18:20:18] Ariel [18:20:33] Aleksandr! [18:20:57] Barak! [18:21:18] Carmen!

[18:22:32] Piotyr [18:22:34] Jameson! [18:22:35] HOw about I go to Maki Kingdom and have it generate random names? [18:22:51] Also is then an OOC? [18:23:03] How about you stop being a tool and just pick a name? =P [18:23:11] Hm. [18:23:16] I AM A TOOL OF YOUR DOWNFALL. [18:23:23] * Tyt is now known as Cory [18:23:26] How is Cory? [18:23:30] You cannot defeat Clarissa Natalia Alyssa Cherise Kaitlyn Huntington the Third! [18:23:30] Boring, but servicable. [18:23:37] Have a last name? [18:23:39] Male or female? [18:23:40] Humans tend to have last names. [18:23:42] Male [18:23:52] Unless they're like, vigilantes. [18:23:56] Matthews [18:23:58] Or orphans. [18:24:07] ..... wait, Zeg, can I use my favorite name of all? Guy McName? [18:24:21] no [18:24:22] Noooooo. [18:24:23] No. [18:24:25] Well, you could. [18:24:29] And then I'd smite you. [18:24:54] Damn it. I sent them a letter a few years agao! But yeah... Okay, How is the naming system in this world? [18:25:10] Named after jobs, named after thigns? [18:25:14] Coriander Steppenwood! [18:26:26] Hm. [18:27:11] Human names are, well... human names. [18:27:16] You're named like normal people! [18:27:26] Only you can have more olde timey names if you really want. [18:27:37] Clarissa Natalia Alyssa Cherise Kaitlyn Huntington the Third! [18:27:38] I need to throw a Marke at you guys. [18:27:55] Ok, Leo Chapman anything wrong with it? It's on my list of "Normal Names I like" [18:28:00] A what? D: [18:28:15] Sure. [18:28:17] That's fine. [18:28:19] * Cory is now known as Leo [18:28:22] There we go [18:28:22] You can go with Cory Chapman too. [18:28:29] Or UR MOM... Wait, no, UR MOM wouldn't work. [18:28:39] I don't like same letters in First and Last name for some reason [18:28:40] Your mom could go with Cory Chapman! [18:30:30] Anyways then, Ready, I got a bit of a personality but I need to play to see what comes out. He's big, red headed, green eyes, and has the "YOU WILL NOT DIE" attitude. No one left behind, no one left down. [18:30:57] YOU SHALL NOT PASS. [18:31:24] I don't have my charsheet on me right now. Is that likely to be a probleM/ [18:31:25] And i need more caffinee and meds. [18:31:44] It shouldn't be. [18:31:55] k [18:35:51] * Retrieving #Aeoth modes... [18:37:46] umm back like? [18:38:51] We gaem? [18:46:23] * Zegon cracks his knuckles. Okay, let's start this. [18:49:28] [Whoo, GAEM! It happens! Like, awesome, and stuff. Next day in New Anbor, it's bright, the sun is shining, and you've had a chance to shop and get accomidations for the night. Sleeping outside isn't techincally against the law, but sure as hell someone'll bother you if you try it.] [18:52:07] [Now you have the chance to seek ADVENTURE! FAME! AND GLORY! for the good of fame and adventure and glory... oh, and cash. Cash is good. The streets are busy as most of you are probably awoken with marketers barking their wears at the crack of dawn. To seek adventuring employment, there are a few places you might check...] [18:55:44] [A rather prominent (and large) adventuring guild can be found in the southern reaches of the city. Supposedly the famous adventuring group 'Io's Messangers' is in town and you might be able to catch a glimpse of them.] [18:56:39] [Churches are always in look of those looking to continue their cause, and tend to have the clout to get what is asked as payment. Furthermore, they're more than capable of healing those who get injured in their duties.] [18:57:28] [Of course, you'd want to find one that's large enough to support that. And finally, there's the Arcane Order, who might have a wizard looking for an escort, or with a connection to someone who IS looking for assistance that isn't found in the adventurer's guild.] [18:58:39] [The inn you stayed at last night was the Swerving Swallow, a fine inn with reasonable rates, but it doesn't supply the standard breakfast that most inns do. Still, it's a fine establishment.] [18:58:43] [Session start!] [18:59:08] [Err, yeah. We'll start you in the inn's common room. You can *buy* breakfast if you want, but it doesn't come with room.] [18:59:44] What do you think of the job prospects? [19:00:12] * Clarissa is eating a large breakfast, and her mouth is rather full at the moment. [19:01:28] * Kardos is eating a simple breakfast of saussage and greens. [19:01:53] * Lucy eats a rather plain, but filling breakfast [19:05:31] * Clarissa swallows and washes it down with a big drink of milk. [19:06:04] _I_ think that the adventurer's guild is the best option, but barring that, there's always the churches. [19:06:10] * Kardos shrugs philosophically at Clarissa's question; he doesn't seem to have much of an oppinion on the matter. [19:06:20] * Kardos blinks as Clarissa answers. [19:06:30] What churches are in the area? [19:08:44] Heironeous and Pelor, obviously. Where there are thieves, there's a temple to Olidammara somewhere, and the dwarves probably have a temple to Moradin. [19:10:44] Hm. [19:11:03] I've been meaning to speak to a Pelorite scholar for some time, actually. [19:13:59] Whatever you pick, I'm fine with it. I trust your judgement. Though the churches would be kinda interesting [19:18:33] * Khrosk is drinking as always. "Khrosk need more meat!" [19:18:37] * Kardos looks at Clarissa. "Would you consent to visiting the temple of Pelor?" [19:19:07] * Clarissa shrugs. [19:19:43] * Clarissa shovels down the last of her sausage, potatoes, and veggies. [19:20:15] Pelor's priests are pretty generous. No reason not to work for them. [19:20:33] * Kardos nods. [19:20:54] Fine by me. I wonder what sorts of jobs they have... [19:22:35] * Clarissa stands up, hopping down off her chair. [19:22:47] Right, then. Let's go. No reason to waste the morning. [19:23:08] Sure. [19:23:09] * Kardos nods mutely, having finished his breakfast, and stands to follow. [19:23:15] * Lucy finishes food and gets ready to go [19:23:15] But Khrosk getting more meat. *frownieface* [19:23:41] Take it with you, perhaps. [19:24:22] * Khrosk pauses for a moment. "Good idea!" He grips his meat by the bone and gets up with a loud *thunk*. "Ready!" [19:24:42] * Kardos nods. [19:28:42] * Clarissa grabs her pack from the floor at her feet and heads for the door, and thence the temple of Pelor. [19:30:40] * Lucy moseys along [19:31:39] * Kardos follows Clarissa, looking around and sidling along amiably. [19:32:36] [And out you set for the Temple of Pelor! The temple is further to the east on a mound, putting it slightly above the rest of the surrounding buildings so it catches first light of the city every morning. Since it's well into the morning before you get there, though, you can see the simple building with minor gold (or gold plated) highlights making it seem to be brighter than normal.] [19:33:52] * Lucy cheers up a bit upon seeing how nice the place looks [19:35:00] [It's certainly nice looking! An everburning 'path', lighted every five feet or so up to the main entrance is present.] [19:35:14] * Kardos looks over the building. [19:35:27] [The building looks back.] [19:35:53] (The Gazeebo attacks!) [19:36:06] * Clarissa walks straight up to the temple, not distracted by the pretty lights. [19:36:24] * Kardos follows after a moment. [19:36:54] * Khrosk noisly chomps meat as he follows, finishing the last meat as he chews on the bone. [19:39:42] [Stop! Temple Time!] [19:41:39] [The inside of the temple is as you'd expect. Vaulted ceiling, not huge but respectable, primarily wooden and stone construction. Scupltures are sparse, but sun symbols made of gold, silver, and copper are a common theme, as are the stained glass windows and skylights. There's a place to put your weapons before entering the temple proper. It's common courtesy to leave weapons at the door in most churches.] [19:43:44] [There are a couple clerics currently tending the altar. Since this is a temple of Pelor, there's also a seperate section that's more of a designated 'hospital' area, where those who require it can recieve healing, usually (but not always) for a tithe.] [19:44:57] [Since there is no session today, you may simply consult them by walking up, or seeking someone in the hospitalization area.] [19:46:30] * Kardos enters, but does not check his weapon, instead taking a moment to tie it to a loop in its baldrick with a strip of leather. He then turns to Clarissa. "Do you wish to inquire after employment before or after I attend to my questions?" [19:46:42] * Clarissa waves Kardos ahead. [19:48:54] * Kardos nods and proceeds to the older of the two attending clerics, quietly offering, "Greetings, Sunmaster," along with a polite bow. [19:51:24] * Clericdude looks away from his companion, looking at Kardos. He bows politely. "Hello adventurer. To what do I owe this visit?" [19:53:06] * Clericdude is the older of the two, looking to be in his 40s or 50s but still plenty healthy. [19:53:37] Several items. I and my compatriots are seeking employment, and I have been told that here may be found employment that is good in ways not involving the financial. Additionally, I have an item I wish to inquire with a scholar of your faith regarding. [19:57:06] * Claricdude. "Ah, perhaps we should do introductions first? I am Marke. My companion right now is Leo, and if you are seeking employment he may well be accompanying you." [19:57:49] * Kardos nods and bows to each in turn. "Well met, Marke, Leo." [19:58:25] I am Kardos. [19:58:39] My name is Lucy. [19:58:51] * Leo slowly turns around, nodding, wild red hair and beard shaking with the nod. "Well met." [19:59:31] * Clarissa waves to the clerics, but doesn't say anything. [20:01:02] I Khrosk! [20:01:14] ... Ah, yes. [20:01:49] * Kardos takes his baldric off, unties the sword, and begins to unsheathe it. [20:01:54] How nice to meet you Khrosk. [20:02:42] Now, first, how may we help you? [20:04:12] I wish you to have a look at my sword, if you would. I have been seeking information as to its... well, as to it. [20:08:33] * Lucy looks at the sword curiously. "Huh. I didn't realize it was special. How'd you get it?" [20:09:18] I'm not sure. [20:09:25] * Marke takes the blade and unsheathes it carefully. "This must be some sort of magic item, for it to still be of use in such a battered condition." [20:10:17] * Kardos nods. "My small arcane training has been able to confirm this much. Beyond this I have been unable to learn much." [20:11:16] I have had it since before I was an orphan, I believe. Which is odd, since this is much longer than I have been able to wield it. [20:11:32] You know little of this weapon, or its origins? Finding the past of such a damaged item can be difficult though, and while we can try to help it will take time." [20:17:31] ...you -could- have asked me, you know. [20:17:34] * Clarissa glares up at Kardos. [20:20:32] * Kardos nods. "I understand. If you can learn anything of it, you shall have done better than the others who have tried." [20:26:03] * Kardos turns to Clarissa. "I considered doing so. However, standard circinate divinations have thusfar proven fruitless in this search. I have a..." He frowns "I have felt an odd desire to ask a Pelorite about it. I cannot adequately explain it." [20:26:45] * Clarissa snorts. [20:27:13] Are you well, Clarissa? [20:27:18] I'm afraid I can't help you on that particular sword. [20:27:30] It's missing bits. Gems, runes. Lots of stuff. A good library and a couple days should give you the translation of the runes. [20:28:53] * Kardos nods. [20:30:17] If you can find the original script. I can't say I recognize the particular runes, despite being a researcher myself in ancient tomes and scripts. [20:30:28] Can you reccomend anyone? [20:32:25] The arcane order might be able to assist. It's clearly missing pieces, as this young lady pointed out. Discovering its true origins could be impossable if they simply don't exist anymore. [20:33:58] * Kardos nods. "Thank you." [20:34:45] ...I -am- part of the Arcane Order, you know. [20:34:48] * Clarissa rolls her eyes. [20:35:40] Yes. I had thought to ask them last night, but declined in deference to your, ah, state of emotion. [20:35:53] I could see about putting a good word in with you if you assist us. Oh, you are? [20:37:03] Forgive me, usually those who belong to the Arcane Order tend to be older. [20:37:53] ( Well, give her time. I'm sure her beard will come in eventually. ) [20:38:40] * Clarissa sighs. "Right. You implied earlier that you've got a mission cooking." [20:43:33] * Marke nods. "We had an artifact of ssemingly minor importance stolen recently while it was in transit. While we would normally send allies from a more militant order to handle the situation, it could cause a simple thievery into a much larger dispute. The artifact is of considerable worth, mind, and we would like to keep from losing it before it enters the black market." [20:44:51] * Lucy blinks. [20:45:03] * Kardos nods. "I should be happy to return this item back to you." He turns to his traveling companions. "What of you?" [20:45:19] I'd be glad to help. This sounds like an interesting story. [20:46:27] * Leo looks at the group and back at Marke, then back at the group. He looks unsure. [20:47:16] * Clarissa eyes Leo right back. [20:48:06] As many know, it takes a thief to stop a thief, and we would like to send one of our own to assist to show our sincerity in the matter. This is why Leo will be joining you if you should accept, as will a cleric of Olidammara, who I am assured is excellent at knowing the tricks of scoundrels who would do this. In return, you will have blessing from our church, as well as payment and access to the general use of our services. [20:49:01] Always good to have more, I think. [20:49:03] I have never in my life required a thief to catch a thief. I have always found that a large horse sitting on him does wonders. [20:49:58] Regardless, bring our your thief. We will need a description of the artifact, and its last known location. [20:50:13] * Kardos nods. [20:50:18] Of course these shall be granted. [20:52:26] I believe this thief isn't in direct line of sight, my Lady. [20:57:06] * Clarissa waves her hand at Marke. "Make it so." [20:57:54] * Marke waves his hand back at Clarissa. "These are not the golems you are looking for." [20:58:45] I'm not looking for any golems. [21:04:17] * Clarissa is now known as SleepDebugger [21:04:40] Ah, it was worth a try. Meet me here tomorrow morning, we'll have things ready for you. [21:04:44] [Session End!] [21:13:12] * Chamelaeon (chamelaeon@ip68-229-190-130.om.om.cox.net) has left #Aeoth [21:14:58] * Leo is now known as CCD [21:37:54] * Disconnected Session Close: Fri Sep 29 21:37:55 2006
