Session Start: Fri Jun 15 17:52:21 2007 Session Ident: #Aeoth [17:52:21] * Now talking in #Aeoth [17:52:21] * Topic is 'Website coming eventually. Keep your pants on. Srsly, keep them on. c.c Game canceled tonight.' [17:52:21] * Set by Zegon on Mon Apr 30 11:11:51 [18:21:36] * Robin (YU-Mei@host-206-54-194-142.entouch.net) has joined #Aeoth [18:21:58] * Robin eyes the topic. "Is that up to date?" [18:22:27] nah [18:22:29] * Demota removes pants. [18:24:04] No, the 'game canceled' bit. [18:24:35] shit no [18:24:38] that was set ages ago [18:25:09] * Zegon changes topic to 'Website coming eventually. Keep your pants on. Srsly, keep them on. c.c' [18:26:38] ND, can you open gametable? [18:26:42] NO [18:26:48] * NinjaDebugger starts it up [18:30:50] hosting gametable [18:31:00] Okay. [18:34:29] * Hank (chamelaeon@ip68-229-191-99.om.om.cox.net) has joined #aeoth [18:34:40] * NinjaDebugger is now known as Clarissa [18:36:11] * Robin is now known as Kardos [18:36:32] ACTION HANK! [18:37:03] * Demota is now known as Lucy [18:45:58] [Incoming fun-times to be had by all! AWESOME times, as it were!] [18:46:34] [Only you guys are in, like, a yearly port that's sucking it up right now in the middle of the winter.] [18:47:09] ( It's totally not our fault we lost six months. ) [18:48:40] [I didn't say it was.] [18:49:36] [Anyways, you're heading north an made a stop in Perlahrl, a craptastic summer community which, since it's winter, IS crappy. You're at the only inn in town as you've just woken up to the cold air rushing through the poorly insulated building. When asked, the orc manning it said it builds 'character'.] [18:50:25] [You need to find your way north across the Belso Seaway to progress further into the Hadoc Empire and persue you're goal.] [18:51:45] [And so, onward you go! Session start!] [18:52:14] [Oh, rough scene info: Morning, overcast sky. You're either outside or inside of the inn.] [18:53:15] [There's snow packed nicely outside that covers the road, but the inn's foundation is clear of such powder.] [18:53:31] * Kardos is inside the inn where the cold is slightly less oppressive, thanks. [18:53:48] * Hank is inside the inn near any source of heat, probably shivering. [18:54:27] * Lucy is inside, but occasionally goes closer to outside to look at the pretty snow. Then goes inside pretty quickly to get away from the horrible snow. [18:54:43] * Clarissa sits down next to Hank after finishing her spell prep for the morning, and offers him a flask of hot tea. [18:56:26] There are spells for this sort of thing, you know. You should learn one. [18:56:36] * Kardos is near the fire with Hank, incidentally. It's also the best source of light in the inn, the windows not being much good. [18:56:38] * Hank takes it. "Thanks. Never needed one before this." [19:01:23] It's about time to head out. [19:01:38] Unless someone has a reason to stay in this backwater. [19:01:42] None here [19:02:05] Anywhere with a roaring fire and a couple skins sounds nice. [19:02:16] It has a pit with fire in it. Not much else to recommend it. [19:02:54] Fine. Let's go. [19:03:16] * Clarissa stands and turns, swirling her cloak dramatically, and heads for the door. [19:03:17] * Kardos gets up, goes to the door, opens it, and holds it for the others. [19:03:44] Thanks [19:03:47] * Hank heads out! [19:05:58] [The door opens smoothly, and you are once again greeted with a practical ghost town on the jagged cliffs leading to the seas below.] [19:06:06] * Clarissa goes NORTH! [19:06:45] * Kardos follows the midgimancer. [19:06:47] * Hank follows. [19:07:48] [North Clarissa, and presumably the rest of you, go.] [19:11:51] * Lucy travels. She likes travel. :D [19:12:35] [You are soon greeted with that previously described cliff-face. The waters down below are still moving, not frozen by the colder temperatrues. You can smell the salt of the sea from here, presuming your nose isn't stuffed up from the cold weather.] [19:12:44] * Kardos travels. He dislikes travel in the cold. [19:13:31] [To reach the bottom you will likely need to walk down several flights of stairs, which somehow have a few paths that are managed to be kept cleen. Probably by the sparse denzines that still live here.] [19:16:35] * Kardos frowns. [19:17:57] [This is as far north as you can go before descending down. At the bottom appear to be some of the newer boats, designed to handle the seas in a much better fashion durring cold weather. There are buildings both going down the slope and at the top.] [19:24:02] I am -so- not walking down that. [19:25:17] DOesn't look so bad [19:25:25] * Kardos asks, drolly, "Shall I carry you?" [19:25:46] * Clarissa glares at Kardos. [19:26:54] * Clarissa steps over the side of the cliff. [19:27:19] * Clarissa falls! [19:27:54] * Kardos shrugs and begins walking down. Exercise helps stave off the cold. [19:30:50] * Lucy moves along the stairs. Assuming Clarissa is alright? [19:31:03] * Clarissa is fine down at the bottom, heading for the ships. [19:32:49] * Hank works his way down the stairs. [19:35:34] * Lucy eventually arrives at the bottom of the stairs? [19:36:20] [You reach the bottom in somewhat decent time. The stairs are still slippery, so you have to be VERY careful of your fotting. There are a small number of buildings here, either storehouses or boathouses, but maybe someone's in business right now.[ [19:38:54] ( Watch your fotting, guyz ) [19:39:08] [Oh shut up. c.c] [19:39:23] [Alternatively, you could head up and see if someone up there is available.] [19:39:47] * Clarissa is heading for the docks, to see if anyone's out and about. [19:40:45] [Err, head back up[ [19:44:03] [About you go the docks, and there are several promising locations. She even runs across a ship that appears to be departing sometime soon, as in today or the next from the way cargo's being loaded.] [19:46:18] [The various locations include a tavern down by the docks that's still in business and, in fact, full of people. Unfortunately it doesn't double as an inn, otherwise you could rub it into Orcman's face.] [19:46:53] [Also, there's the previously mentioned ship that's preparing to leave port, and finally a couple of port inspectors who are bundled up and walking up and down the docks.] [19:48:06] * Clarissa heads for the ship that's moving out. [19:50:48] Get those supplies moving, we don't have all day you know! The captain wants us out of here by noon, and gods dammit we'll be out by then with or without you! [19:51:39] [The deckhand doesn't seem to be paying attention to Clarissa.] [19:51:48] Hey! [19:51:49] * Lucy walks up to the ship. "Hey, what kind of ship is this?" [19:54:32] Yeah? [19:55:01] * the Deckhand asides to one of his assistants who starts baking out orders as the deckhand turns to you. "Now, what do you want?" [19:55:18] We want passage north. [19:56:30] North to the empire, eh? I'll have to clear it by the captain, but I think we can fit some landlubbers aboard. Ya have anything to help the trip?" [19:57:00] We're adventurers. If you're attacked, whoever's doing it will regret it shortly. [19:58:08] * The deckhand looks over the five of you. "Mmm, and a few strong ones at that. Okay, come aboard. The waters be colder this time of year, so don't fall in." [19:58:30] * Clarissa waves everybody on. [19:58:47] * Kardos comes onboard. [19:59:34] [The ship is a moderate-sized cargo ship, with at least a 80x40' open deck in the middle. It's not exactly designed for long voyages, but for a short stint across the seaway it's about as big as they get.] [19:59:58] Thanks! [20:00:00] * Lucy moves on. :D [20:09:10] [Onto the high seas you go! By noon the ship is cast into the sea and starts heading north. Snow starts falling soon after you leave port, and the deckhands race frantically to keep the deck clear of snow.] [20:11:02] * Lucy is no longer wearing her armor. Kardos is in close proximity to her a lot now. [20:17:17] * Khrosk squints in the distance, apparently spotting something in the sky that's of notable interest. [20:18:26] * Kardos squints as well. "What is that?" [20:18:30] What is what? [20:19:07] What's what? [20:19:29] [Off in the distance there's something large that seems to be getting closer.] [20:20:01] ... what the heck? [20:20:37] * One of the people in the crow's nest with a spyglass points it in that direction. He blinks and re-adjusts. "It's some kind of bird!" [20:21:01] * Kardos frowns. [20:21:07] ... that's not good. [20:21:10] * Lucy goes to get her weapons. [20:21:10] That is a very large bird. Roc? [20:21:31] * Kardos pulls out his bow and nocks an arrow. [20:21:38] Big bird... Khrosk think so. [20:21:42] * Lucy returns with a bow and arrow set. [20:23:53] Khrosk, you have a bow? [20:24:08] * Hank draws his bow! [20:24:41] * Lucy draws her bow, preparing to fire. [20:24:55] * Khrosk takes out a bow. "Of course Khrosk have bow! Standard ranger issue!" [20:25:09] * Kardos nods. [20:25:47] There's a chance it might be friendly... though not much of one. [20:26:23] Yes. Perhaps it would be so kind as to tow us. [20:27:27] * Clarissa slits her finger quickly and draws her summoning circle, calling out an X-wing to do battle. [20:30:22] * The Roc is starting about 140' before combat starts. You may fire since you have bows, if you want. [20:32:45] Roc! Get below decks, now! [20:33:02] * Quickly the crew is starting to desert their posts to get below decks so the adventurers can handle the mess. [20:33:48] * Kardos lets loose with two arrows. [20:34:08] * Lucy lets an arrow loose and reaches back for another [20:35:20] * Khrosk sends an arrow sailing along with the first volley, piercing feathers handily! [20:37:38] * As the Roc swoops in, the X-wing backwings frantically and lets loose a bolt of lightning from its four wingtips, charring a tiny circle on the bird's chest. [20:42:07] * Lucy lets the arrow go at the Roc's general direction. It flies in the general direction of the Roc. She pulls up another. [20:45:59] * Kardos waves his hand at the Roc, letting loose a glob of glowing rock. [20:46:14] ( The fool. What we need here is paper! ) [20:48:36] * Clarissa draws a second circle in the air, and under the great bird's wing, an immense wolf swoops out of nowhere, gliding on rainbow wings. [20:52:44] * The Roc charges forward and swoops down at Khrosk, grabbing the orc in its tallons and flying east from the boat as it yells out. [20:52:51] (Err, cries out) [20:53:07] Khrosk! [20:53:15] * Kardos frowns. [20:53:25] Khrosk don't know how to fly! [20:55:24] * Lucy reaches back, fires an arrow, fires another arrow. @_@ [20:59:00] * Thunk, the arrow scores a hit into the Roc's plumage. It's taken quite a beating now, but is *far* from falling over. [21:02:48] * Clarissa draws still another circle, and a pegasus appears on the deck of the ship. She mounts quickly and it takes off after the roc, while the winged wolf and xwing bite and zap the roc. [21:06:49] * The Roc, which took a beating from Clarissa's horde, is starting to visibly fatigue now. [21:06:59] * It still hasn't let go of Khrosk, though, as it flies north. [21:07:19] * The ship races against the waters and manages to at least stay within range. [21:07:31] * Lucy fires another two arrows. [21:13:31] * Clarissa flies further forward astride her pegasus, summoning yet another monster in its way, this time a miniature whirlwind of an air elemental, as her other two allies continue to harry the Roc. [21:19:26] * The Roc, getting through its head that attacking you was a *bad* idea, throws Khrosk to its left as it dives and flies north at a rate faster than Clarissa's fliers can go save the air elemental. [21:24:25] * Clarissa starts digging out a rope to throw to Khrosk. [21:25:12] * Lucy is also working on getting a rope out. [21:26:26] * Kardos assists Lucy with her rope. [21:28:46] By the time you get the rope out, he's about to be run over by the boat. [21:28:51] * Clarissa circles around Khrosk, waiting for the shipboard people to succeed or fail. [21:28:53] (err, crap) [21:28:59] (Put that in []s) [21:29:14] * Lucy hurls the rope at Khrosk. [21:34:16] * Kardos loosely grabs the rope and dives in after Khrosk. [21:39:46] * Lucy grips the other end of the rope, and starts pulling [21:41:35] * Lucy seems to be not pulling so well... [21:42:12] * Clarissa touches down on deck and holds the rope up for the pegasus to bite and pull. [21:42:46] * Kardos grabs Khrosk and manages to keep a firm grip on the rope. [21:42:48] ( strike that ) [21:48:59] * Lucy starts tying the rope to some rigging and shouts for someone to comee up and help [22:04:47] * Clarissa pats the pegasus on the shoulder and it begins moving backward, pulling HARD. [22:05:04] * Lucy tries to pull once the rope goes tight [22:05:29] * Kardos manages to grab onto both lowered ropes with one hand while still maintaining a hold on Khrosk. He begins the process of getting dragged up the side of the ship, his armor prolly dinging the anti-barnacle paint coat. [22:06:24] * Lucy puuuuulls [22:09:18] * Lucy pulls up Kardos with the help of Clarissa and her magical flying horse [22:10:15] * Clarissa is now known as NinjaDebugger [22:10:24] [Session end.] [22:12:05] * NinjaDebugger (amakoto@ip72-213-61-8.om.om.cox.net) has left #Aeoth [22:12:50] * Kardos flops onto the deck.
