[18:25:25] Someone have the log from last session? [18:25:40] Who's been logging, and where is site for logs? D: [18:26:04] There is no site, but I know Robin and ND both generally keep logs of whatever they listen to. [18:26:11] I don't log sessions separately. [18:26:15] I just have one massive channel log. [18:26:42] That doesn't sound too hard to split up [18:27:58] Last session was June 29, 1121 ECE [18:29:12] ... [18:29:21] I just remembered it couldn't BE June 29th. [18:29:25] Ah whatever, fuckit. [18:29:27] Why not? [18:29:35] Because I made months all 28 days long. XD [18:30:00] OBJECTION! [18:30:07] You just said it was June 29th! [18:30:30] hah [18:30:31] c.c [18:30:33] Okay, so it was July 1 [18:32:39] So when's THIS session? [18:32:53] RIGHT THE HELL NOW. D:< [18:39:24] Nyoro~n [18:39:25] :3 [18:53:53] [Session's getting underway. Sorry, was talking to people in /msg. ^^'] [18:55:26] ( Traitors! Point me to them, I'll hell the whole lot! ) [18:55:35] ( -hell +kill ) [18:59:34] [It's July 2nd, and you guys are going to set out on ADVENTURE! But first, it's important that you get INFORMATION to go on your QUEST. To that end, in the morning (presumably), you'll head to the temple and get said information. So... yeah, at the temple, let me c/p the description or something...] [19:00:04] [Oh, it's a nice day outside today, a little windy and chilly, but that's pretty normal for a coastal city.] [19:02:41] [You arrive just after the first mass of the day lets out, so you can enter and get whatever it is you need, and what information you deem important.] [19:02:47] [Session Start!] [19:03:19] * Robin is now known as Kardos [19:04:21] * Kardos seems relieved. The wind helps keep the smell down. As long as the crew isn't downwind of the shipping houses, at least. [19:04:44] * Lucy walks along cheerfully. [19:05:08] * Clarissa wonders if Kardos realizes how much worse it is being about two feet closer to the horse manure. [19:05:30] * Clarissa walks into the temple, snorting vigorously to get the smell out of her nose. [19:06:39] * Kardos does likewise. He takes a sniff of the air. "Hm. Somene's having a burn wound treated in another room." [19:07:08] * Clarissa looks around for that priest, wossname. [19:08:50] * Leo is taking care of the alter one last time before he heads off on adventure. [19:09:12] [The temple is fairly clean of smells and such, must be all the praying. Marke is there nere one of the hallways exiting the main room, apparently expecting you. With him are Leo and another man. Hank might want to describe himself as this other man. So might Leo, I don't think he described himself last time.] [19:11:41] * Leo is on the big side of average for a human, tall, well defined, and with wild curly hair and beard that's bright flaming red. He was dressed exactly how a priest should be, but now he's in shined, polished full plate. [19:12:45] * Hank is moderately tall, with brushed-back sandy brown hair and a well-trimmed beard. His eyes are hazel, and he's wearing drab leather underneath a chain shirt. He's smiling to himself as he watches Leo do his wacky priesty goodness. [19:12:59] * Clarissa marches straight across the temple, letting her cloak swish dramatically in her wake, just like it's supposed to. She walks straight up to Leo and Hank and looks up expectantly. [19:14:06] * Hank looks down at Clarissa. "Hi there." He grins. BEARD. [19:14:39] * Clarissa eyes Hank suspiciously. [19:15:16] Hank is here to help too. [19:15:37] Hank? You're the thief? [19:15:56] Hello, how was your night? [19:17:01] * Clarissa ignores Marke, having focused all her attention on Hank. [19:17:17] * Hank grimaces. "Thief is a grievous undermining of what it is I do, but sure." [19:17:59] * Clarissa bows. "I am Clarissa Natalia Violet Alyssa Cherise Kaitlyn Huntington the Third, Summoner Errant of the Arcane Order. Pleased to make your acquaintance." [19:18:48] * Hank raises an eyebrow. "All that, huh?" He sticks out a hand. "Hank Corrolus. Thief." [19:19:19] * Clarissa takes Hank's hand, and tries to grip it. She's obviously not very strong, and the fact that she's all of four feet tall really doesn't help. [19:19:58] * Lucy waves warmly. "I'm Lucy Diamante." [19:20:46] * Kardos bows mid-low. "Kardos." [19:21:30] * Hank shakes Clarissa's hand gently. "Nice to meet you all." [19:21:51] Likewise. [19:21:58] If you wouldn't mind walking with me while I explain the details of this quest, I'd like to discuss the more... delecate details in some privacy. [19:22:26] * The orcish ranger bellows. "Khrosk here to help too!" [19:22:33] Of course, Sunmaster. [19:23:50] That's Khrosk, my faithful and very well paid bodyguard. [19:23:50] Sure. [19:23:52] * Leo nods his head to stand and follow Marke. [19:24:32] * Khrosk nods and grins, multiple teeth missing. [19:24:47] * Hank waves to Khrosk. "Let's hope the gravy train keeps rolling, eh, Khrosk?" [19:25:34] * Khrosk nods, then blinks. "Train?" [19:25:36] * Kardos tries to puzzle out what rendered animal fat has to do with anything as he follows the others. [19:25:45] * Clarissa walks after Marke, half-running just to keep up. [19:25:59] * Clarissa calls back, "It means a caravan, Khrosk! Come on!" [19:26:04] Khrosk is certainly...interesting. [19:26:15] Quite. [19:26:28] * Khrosk lumbers after Clarissa. [19:26:29] * Lucy moves along. [19:26:39] He's very good at what he does. I think. [19:27:15] * Hank grabs a pack from beside the altar and follows along. [19:27:48] Khrosk strong! [19:28:05] ... Yes, I would hope so if you keep someone of his... talents around. [19:28:17] * Kardos wrinkles his nose. "Yes, Khrosk strong." [19:28:46] * Kardos doesn't seem to realize that might be insulting as he says it. [19:28:49] * Marke starts walking. "Now, I'm sure you'd like to know the who, the where, the what, and all such details pertaining to the item of importance." [19:29:10] Please. As succintly as you can manage. [19:31:03] Ah, one who treasures the tastes of knowledge. [19:35:15] Quite. From what we can tell it was probably taken by one of a few bandit circles that operate on the outskirts and in the slums of the city. One group in particular, the *clears his throat* Penny-pinching-pulverizers has recently gained quite a bit of prestiege from what little information we can gather. [19:35:39] And before you ask, THEY were the ones who came up with that name. [19:35:56] What are they, a band of roving accountants? [19:36:13] The penny-penching pulverizers prove poor poets. [19:36:28] * Hank rolls his eyes. "Style is dead." [19:36:30] I'm really not sure of their origins. [19:36:37] * Leo can't help but groan a bit. [19:37:18] * Lucy frowns. [19:37:40] In any case, they're the most likely suspects. We don't know of their leader, but the artifact, the The Cloak of St. Monstole, is likely in his or her posession. [19:41:08] Do they work over a large area? [19:42:34] Where was the artifact stored? [19:43:09] We know they are based somewhere in the slums, but this isn't the first time they've taken such a valuable item. [19:43:39] It will be the last. [19:45:32] The artifact was en-route being transferred from Oriel to the Temple of Olidamara in this city for safekeeping. While the artifact is, in fact, one of Pelor's holy artifacts, we don't have the means to protect it adequately here. Not to mention it forms a stronger agreement between two of the major temples in this city. [19:46:02] It would be benifical for all to get it back. [19:46:18] Yeah. [19:46:35] * Marke nods. "An artifact like that in thieve's hands makes for a difficult time indeed." [19:46:39] Where would be a good place to start? [19:47:40] * Kardos nods. [19:47:52] Is the container the artifact was held in here, or was it taken, as well? [19:47:55] The slums. I don't suspect their hideout would be too difficult to find. They are a rather large gang. [19:48:33] The container, a simple backpack, was taken as well. [19:49:17] * Hank adjusts his pack on his shoulder and nods. [19:49:29] We normally make such movements of items as inconspicuous as possible, but they somehow discovered by either chance and inside information that it would be moving. [19:50:41] * Kardos nods. "That is unfortunate. I could track it easier, if we had it." [19:51:08] Oh, be warned if they are using the item themselves. It appears to be a simple gold-embroidered white cloak with Pelor's symbol on it, but is capable of minor control over the power of the sun. The reason this is bad is it can render the user invisible in sunlight. [19:51:46] * Kardos frowns. [19:51:51] Is there anymore information you would like to ask for? [19:51:56] * Lucy frowns. "I don't think they'd steal an item like this just to do their regular run-of-the-mill thieving." [19:53:18] Or they could just be fools. [19:53:40] Let's hope the second is the case. [19:54:12] Either way it's bad, just one is less blasphmous then the other. [19:55:06] Right. Let's go. [19:55:07] Either way, we shall end the problem. [19:55:20] * Kardos nods. [19:57:20] After you. [19:58:03] * Clarissa turns on her heel and heads for the entrance. [19:58:31] KHROSK SMASH PUNY THIEVES! [19:59:31] * Kardos follows Clarissa with a sigh. [20:00:21] * Leo heads out following. "Khrosk, I believe more... subtle methods are needed right now." [20:01:21] * Hank follows! [20:02:35] * Clarissa turns around and walks backwards, and says back at the others, "Does anybody need any preparations before we go hunt these punks down?" [20:02:46] Preparations? [20:02:54] Spells and the like? [20:03:14] Not me [20:03:16] Spells, gear. Shopping. Anything, really. [20:03:21] * Marke leads the troupe out. "I'll let you get aquainted before setting off. If you need anything, ask and I'll see what I can do." [20:03:22] Need to top off your supply of rope, maybe? [20:03:26] * Hank pulls a cloak out of his pack, and tosses it about his shoulders. "I'm ready." [20:04:46] I can think of nothing. If I could get the smell of the artifact, this would be simple; as I cannot, there is little I can do to prepare that I have not already done. [20:07:41] Good! [20:07:51] * Clarissa smiles brightly, turns back around without breaking stride, and keeps going. [20:09:01] I am good, Master Marke. Thank you. [20:11:15] * Kardos follows the wee wizardess. [20:16:49] * Hank also follows? [20:16:57] * Lucy is following already? [20:25:51] * Clarissa leaves the temple and heads straight for the slums, staying along the edges of the streets, where the horses don't go. [20:26:00] [Investigating you go! Where are you heading to first? The (S)lums, the (T)emple of Pelor or Olidamara, the (L)ibrary, or somewhere else?] [20:26:12] [Clarissa is smart. It smells less there. [20:26:14] ] [20:28:17] * Leo follows, not conspicous at all in his gleeming full plate and obvious silver holy symbol that's been polished more then the armor, oh no not at all. [20:31:01] [Slummin' it, okay. Welcome to the slums. It's, well... smelly and rather unwashed, and loud too. Lots of people shouting, yelling, talking, and doing all manner of things. The streets aren't terribly crowded, but there are definetly homeless folks there, as well as people who earn their livings doing more.. questionable deeds. Taverns are a common occurance, as are people who stand on street corners.] [20:31:01] * Kardos isn't terribly conspicuous, either. Mammoth sword, rich elven sort-of-robe... at least he doesn't shine, and his armor's both covered and painted a flat color. [20:32:40] * Hank looks pretty at home here, oddly enough (or not). [20:33:05] * Lucy looks a little out of place, given there's no real way to conceal a two-handed axe. [20:33:25] * Leo is lagging behind every one, once in a while stopping and kneeling down to talk to a kid or three before getting back up and following. [20:33:48] * Khrosk looks smelly and like a beater. In other words, he seems to strangely fit right in. Some thugs on the street grunt in his direction and he grunts loudly back. [20:33:57] Tell you what... why don't you let me ask around a little? [20:34:07] * Kardos looks just as out-of-sorts as he has since entering the city. [20:34:08] [Finding people isn't too hard, so you might want to describe what kind of people you're looking for.[ [20:34:09] ] [20:35:23] [The kids are rather grateful and take the food eagerly. They seem willing to help out in return if possible. One even has a wooden sword and wants to be an adventurer when he gets older.] [20:36:31] * Hank asks around about the P^3s, focusing on "large, up-and-coming bandit group", only dropping the name if he has to. [20:37:19] ( We hatses the name, yes we do. ) [20:37:51] (We hatses being conspicious.) [20:38:12] ( That too. ) [20:38:29] ( Things we hateses; the name, being conspicuous, and hobitses. ) [20:38:30] (... man, I've played too many L5R Investigation mods. I'm starting to mentally assess money values, and almost checked my honor before I caught myself.) [20:38:50] ( XD ) [20:39:11] :O [20:39:14] ( whoops ) [20:40:52] * Various thugs grunt at you, saying they're a bunch of hacks or punks or other various insults generally about them. It's odd that they don't do this outright though if the P^3 really are what they say they are. [20:41:28] * Leo ruffles the wooden sword kids hair. "You'll do well. We are looking for some people. They and Pelor need to talk. Personally." [20:41:44] ( *grin* ) [20:49:11] [One of them speaks up about them having some sort of 'special meeting' he heard a friend choke some information out of in one of the couple run-down theaters. Supposedly some prissy half-elf is running the show, too.] [20:49:43] [And by prissy, I mean he describes the man as 'flamboyantly gay'. [20:49:44] ] [20:49:59] * Lucy raises an eyebrow. [20:50:42] Well, that's interesting. Gives us a place to shoot for. [20:53:02] Hopefully none of us are his...type. [20:53:04] * The kids blink and nod. "What kind of people?" "I bet they're in trooooouuuuuble." [20:53:16] ((Er take that back, I got confuzzled)) [20:53:35] * Clarissa frowns. [20:53:42] Well, it gives us something to go on. [20:54:09] * Leo names the P^3, and tries to phrase it in such a way to assure the kids nothing interesting will be happen besides long boring adult talks and prayers. [20:56:08] * Two of the kids seem to buy into it, but one of the slightly older more preceptive ones notices the full plate. "Uh-huh, you're gonna kick their butts aren't ya!? Do it! They deserve it!" [20:56:19] (Err, there are three kids there.) [20:56:44] That, or they'll just give in and quietly walk with us. [20:57:16] Actually, we are more likely to pummel them about the face and sternum than kick their buttocks. [20:57:29] What did they do to you? [20:59:52] What do you care? You're gonna wipe the floor with them weather I tell you or not. [21:00:17] It doesn't really matter, but I'd like to know anyway. [21:00:28] The more reasons we have, the better we will fight. [21:01:05] It's amazing what adventures will do extra if they know to look for it. [21:01:56] Would one work harder for a bowl or a banquet? [21:02:37] * Clarissa eyes Kardos. [21:02:39] Really? Well, uh, I don't have anything to give ya. ^^; [21:02:57] You really need to work on your proverbs. [21:03:25] That was a proverb? I thought it was a riddle. [21:03:49] It made no sense, either way. [21:03:52] I believe that Kardos here ment minor blessings can be granted to those that ask for them and help others. [21:04:19] Riiiiight. [21:04:21] My apologies, Clarissa. I am still new to language, so I still have difficulties. [21:04:43] * Clarissa turns to the kid. "So. Where's this meeting going to happen?" [21:04:51] * OlderKid blinks, then looks at Clarissa. "What's with the old folks?" [21:05:09] They think they're talking to kids. [21:05:12] * Clarissa rolls her eyes. [21:05:26] * Kardos comments to Leo, quietly, "I meant to intimate that more knowledge of a criminal's wrongdoings can provide greater motivation for one who seeks to bring then to justice already." [21:05:35] * Kardos is 15. Is that old? [21:05:46] Look. I'll give you two gold to guide us to where this meeting's going down and then run like hell. [21:06:06] * OlderKid nods. "Done deal. [21:06:08] " [21:06:14] As I said, minor blessings to those that ask and help. [21:06:25] * Leo nods back at Kardos. [21:06:42] Is gold a blessing? I shall have to remember. [21:07:09] * Clarissa looks around at the slums. "Look around you, Kardos, and ask yourself if money is a blessing or not." [21:07:27] Throw in a couple more gold and I'll show ya a shortcut inside that they *never* guard. [21:07:39] Done. [21:08:15] If you could give us on second? I wish to talk to my young companion first. [21:08:33] Arright, arright. And the name's Elijah. [21:08:56] Nice to meet you Elijah. Clarissa, if you'd come over here for a moment? [21:08:59] I'm Clarissa. [21:11:04] * Elijah talks to the two younger kids and lets the adults do their talky thing. The kids seeem to be his 'adopted' siblings. [21:12:13] * Lucy watches the kids happily. Cute kids. Aww. [21:13:04] * Hank folds his arms and watches. [21:13:46] * Leo nods and hands clarissa a little bag. [21:13:53] We may as well scout out this place now. [21:14:16] Of course. [21:15:04] Let's go, Elijah. [21:15:15] No point waiting. [21:15:21] None at all. [21:15:37] * Kardos looks to Leo. "We follow?" [21:16:53] We follow. [21:18:45] * Kardos nods and follows. [21:20:34] [And so you wander off to get kil- err, get an artifact from some thieves!] [21:20:43] [Session end!] [21:20:49] * Leo is now known as CCD [21:20:54] * Clarissa is now known as NinjaDebugger [21:21:33] * NinjaDebugger is now known as SleepDebugger [21:22:42] * Disconnected Session Close: Fri Oct 06 21:22:42 2006
