Tavi needs an Amulet of Proof Against Detection And Location. * Zegon marks that down on the wishlist. *** Amroth (Petrafan1@12-248-255-73.client.attbi.com) has joined #aeoth * Alcinoe strangles Amroth. Game just ended. Joe needed to get off of the computer. ^^; Sorry! My computer fried every program open! Don't worry. Guys, have any suggestions about James's roleplaying? Including trillian, and I had to reinstall. Yeah. One, don't piss off people who can kick your ass. NEVER piss off the innkeepers. 9 out of 10 times they've been out adventuring too. Always a good policy. Unless you're Tavi. 2: If you're offered an easy way out, TAKE IT. ok Really! I worked to get it for you! My character doesn't even like you and she did it anyway. :P Ironically, you guys both did VERY well with Rule of Adventuring #1. Well, thank you, I think. You were just a little slow to catch on to the profit being offered. Rule of Adventuring #1: What's in it for me? * Alcinoe snickers. You need to work on Rule #2: Always Apply Occam's Razor. Rule #4 hasn't come into play yet. Don't understand that one. What about 3. Rule #3 has already been addressed. Don't fuck with the innkeepers. good point. Occam's Razor. one should not increase, beyond what is necessary, the number of entities required to explain anything Stated simply, Occam's Razor says "The simplest solution is most likely to be correct." that makes sense. Sometimes it will get you in trouble, but for the most part it is correct. That means, if you're offered a simple way out of your entire bill, don't try to haggle further. I will keep that in mind. So now you guys gotta catch a wily halfling thief. * Tavi puts on his thinking cap. * Alcinoe grabs log. Back in a moment. ^^ *** Alcinoe (arwen@12-249-52-145.client.attbi.com) has left #aeoth *** Alcinoe (arwen@12-249-52-145.client.attbi.com) has joined #aeoth Don't worry, the chase should be fairly interesting. Oh, I'm going to do my best to make sure it's interesting. Good, I'm counting on you ND. XD If I made it easy on them, I'd never live it down. * Kardos snickers. Session title suggestions? When I actually make a page and put this up. :P No idea. "Meet the neighbors." * Alcinoe reads this log. And Amroth and Hyfus' conversations are being posted, too. really, now... GM's call. And he says post. It's good stuff. Ha! Yes, definitely being posted. *** Amroth is now known as Petra_fan1 Well, I'm going to fix my computer, I hope. *** Petra_fan1 (Petrafan1@12-248-255-73.client.attbi.com) Quit (Quit: Hi ho, hi ho, it's off to work I go...)

I don't know...I think Kerek is ugly...jk Go ahead and call him that. I think he looks like Chow Yun Fat. He does. * Kardos coughs. He does. Heh. Chow Yun Fat played Li Mu Bai, and LMB is the first thing to pop into my head when I think 'Monk'. Heh. Well with his amazing jump skillz plan on some CTHD action. Keen. XD I'll make a webpage for Aeoth eventually. I swear. When I'm not feeling so lazy. But can he stand on the side of a bamboo stalk? Ard> Keen. ;) * Alcinoe works on getting into character. But all I want is a little Tang, which is orange and squishy when you mix it with milk and- no, wait. Wrong character. o_O * Kardos works on getting into character. * Kardos blushes. * Kardos fidgets nervously. * Kardos is so there. ^_^_v Wow, Robin, that's such a big stretch for you. * Tavi works on getting into character. That's great! Because I'm not... * Tavi steals Alcinoe's underpants. I'm so there. * Alcinoe murders Tavi messily. Me too! * Kerek flys (basically) up some houses. * Kardos runs to get some water. * Tavi wants to play an EPIC! Rogue with a Pick Pockets score so high that he can steal a woman's bra without her noticing. Hmm... I should make a feat for that... * Amroth searches frantically for fresh batteries. * Kerek wants another Ring of Jump Skillz. Kerek: "Another"? Sorry, they don't stack. ^^; Gah... But you can get some boots of springing and striding. they don't stack, unfortunately. The Ring and the Boots _do_, though. Boots? eww... not for Kerek. And you could get a different custom item that gives +10 to jump checks. Unless its winter time. * Alcinoe has Kerek run across broken glass. No, not walk. Run. Broken glass doesn't hurt though? How about jump? I can clear it! Err... . *** Atom is now known as Zaft *** Atom has left IRC Ok for clarification: Who is Hyfus? I heard a familiar? Alright... to get this to work, I'm gonna need a miracle and a half. Hyfus is Amroth's familiar. Sadly, I don't know that spell. Yet. Alright, so I just have you all face certin doom then have you wake up? ( No surprises there. ) Sure. Can I stab you afterwards? o/~ Zaft! o/~ * Alcinoe chokes. *** Kardos (stdwrs15@ACAF5A6C.ipt.aol.com) Quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) ... * Tavi SNERKS. Ok Zaft who is? Another familiar? someone not introduced yet. Naw, I'm just someone not introduced yet. Cool. Don't kick me in the leg. I'll try not too... Amroth, rule #1. DON'T KICK THE MONK. Because the monk will kick you back and it will hurt a helluva lot more. THat's a rule. So now I can LAWFULLY kick your ass if you do. Nah, you take him to court, sue his pants off, then kick him in the ass. He'll sue your pants off! Your pants! Mwuahaha. ... Right. I'll keep my pants, thank you. What pants? You're wearing a frickin' robe. *** Kardos (stdwrs15@AC873E12.ipt.aol.com) has joined #Aeoth Dress. He's wearing a dress. Dangit! Stall time is over. ;_; * Alcinoe pointlaughs. ( I.... HATEHATEHATEHATE AOL. ;_; ) I'm wairing a robe, and the pants are under it! We ALL hate AOL, but that doesn't stop them. I wear pants! Don't touch the monk's pants. I also hate AOL. ... ( AOL touches all pants. ) I hate AOL more. I have to put up with it. :P I dumped it and went with cable years ago. Likewise. My brain's shutting down. Start the session already! Okay, okay... don't have to be so mean about it... ;_; Yes we do. * Zegon clears his throat and.. checks his pockets? Well, get ready for gamage anyways! [Last time on this as of yet unnamed game which is now called Aeoth because I feel like it: Tavi ran off from an inn where he has a huge bill waiting for him. The innkeeper has 'recruited' the services of Amroth and Karek to find the halfling who jumped his bill. Alcinoe and Kardos are standing on the opposite end of them, making sure they don't get away as well. (cont.)] * Kerek cracks his knuckles. Hopefully this Taci shall come peacefully. (Kerek, don't jump the gun.) (And Kerek falls off the world... again.) (Like it didn't happen enough in Planeteers!) [The innkeeper also proved to be much more than he seemed, by first pulling out what looked like a very rare magical item, and casting a spell that stopped Amroth in his tracks. He revealed he knew something about Amroth's mentor, and that's where we left off. If you wish to see what happened last session, check out http://ardweden.com/aeoth/logs/aeoth01.txt .] [Session start!] (I get three gun-jumpings per game.) (I think I used more than that in Planeteers but whatever.) * The innkeeper adjusts his glasses. "I believe his name was Tavi." * Kardos blinks confusedly in the general direction of the hedge-mage and tavern-mage. So, we are looking for the halfling named Tavi. And When we find him, what shoud we do with him? *** Capfox is on IRC Better question: what will YOU do to him? First of all, don't kill him. Second, bring him here. I want to have a *word* with him. He can be knocked out, just not dead. Dead is always such a big mess... * Kardos blinks. * Alcinoe watches the conversation with more than mild annoyance. * Kardos looks vaguely concerned. Hopefully Tavi values his life more than some gold pieces. That will makes things easier for all of us. Well, staying here talking about it will only make it harder to find him. Shall we head off? I agree. I don't want to mess around with some arrogent little punk. * Amroth nods in agreement. "Lets go." * The innkeeper clears his throat and holds out a contract for Amroth to sign. "Aren't you forgeting something?" Well, I didn't forget anything. I'll sign. * Amroth turns around and grabs the contract reluctantly. * Amroth reads the contract carefully to make sure it says what it should. * Hyfus settles onto Amroth's shoulder and eyes the paper over Amroth's shoulder. So Kardos, Alcinoe, any ideas on where we should look first? * Alcinoe tilts her head to the innkeeper. "I'd say have him check for the halfling again. He won't stay in one place." [The contract reads like a bunch of legal mumbo-jumbo, but for the most part looks legit. It states that once you find Tavi and bring him to the inn, you are free of your charges to the inn.] Uhm... me? Er, maybe a large bazaar or such nearby? Something with lots of goods, people, and distractions. ...maybe? *** Zegon sets mode: +v Kardos * Amroth finnishes reading the contract, and signs it, handing it back to the innkeeper. Sounds like a plan. He wouldn't be wandering in the wilderness at this time of night. * Kardos fidgets nervously. I don't trust that guy. He could be anywhere. * Alcinoe walks over to Kardos and pulls him to one side, saying quietly, "Would you mind going with and making sure they do their jobs?" * Kardos frowns, then sighs. He responds quietly, "I suppose I should. They're probably going to get into trouble." * Alcinoe snerks. "That's an understatement." * The innkeeper takes it and looks over the signature carefully. "Alright, Mr. Mithrandir, you have yourself a deal." He pulls the mirror out of his sleave again. "Tavi Gundigoot." * Kardos nods, almost smiling. He heads over to Kerek and Amroth. "Er, I trust you would not be overly opposed to having an additional pair of eyes along?" * The mirror reveals that he is indeed in the marketplace, riding a rather large war-dog. Nice call Kardos. Shall we? *** Dicesuke (dice@155.92.103.53) has joined #Aeoth Uhm, very well. I'm fine with the extra help. * Kerek heads down the stairs. * Amroth follows not too far behind. * Kardos follows, looking helpless. (Um, we were downstairs already, weren't we?) (Yes, we were. Just go out the door, boys!) (um, yes) ( ...Yes, we were. ) (I just figured I'd follow the crowd.) (Thought we was upstairs? I was casted Hold Person before I went down!) (Gah... ok I'm gonna stop leading.) (I was almost out the door.) (Ok Ok I'm not with the times next!) (I'll edit it to say out the door. :P) * Kerek heads out the door and breathes in some fresh air. It is alot better than the musty cramped air of the inn. So, which way to this marketplace? [So you head out the door, and into the busy street. I mean BUSY. But that's besides the point. Where are you going to start looking?] (Building height?) (Average height.) (Taller than you can jump.) (Nice call :D) (climb?) (You know its coming man, I want some jumping action here.) * Kerek looks around for a halfling. ( Stupid monkeys. ) * Kardos looks around for a halfling on a dog. [You don't find him. Congradulations!] (We need a dog whistle.) (can't you whistle?) (Go Kevin. You, too, can be as sarcastic a GM as I.) * Kardos tries to remember if he saw a marketplace nearby. * Hyfus launches himself from Amroth's shoulder and flaps his wings, carrying himself quickly above the streets. Well, nothing here. Lets move about the town. Any particular direction? I vote we head north. Uhm... Lead on Amroth. * Kerek keeps his eyes moving in search of Tavi. * Amroth starts walking north. Er... nevermind. I don't feel like being in the lead, though. * Kardos follows Amroth, against his better judgement. * Kerek checks the surroundings a bit more before he trails behind the party. Anyone recall whether or not this Tavi has housing here? * Amroth notices the hesitation in Kardos, and asks, "Why are you hesitating?" ( *snerk* Yeah, in that inn you just left. :P ) (Yeah, really. ^^;) (So its how busy in the streets?) Uhm, I believe I heard him claim to reside in the inn. ( And if I couldn't have, then feel free to lemme know and retcon. ^.~ ) * Amroth stops. * Kerek watches all the denizens walk in the streets while searching inbetween them for any sight of Tavi. * Kardos stops as well, and blinks. "Er?" * Amroth looks around trying to find Hyfus. * Kerek slows his walk and looks ahead at Amroth. Hyfus is west, and he sees something. * Amroth turns, and starts walking towards the east. (How backwards. Don't you mean east, Amroth?) (So we walk in opposite direction?) (yes) Ah. Then, shouldn't we go west to find what he has seen? * Kerek starts walking eastward. (I'm Polish, give me a break.) (I meant east.) ( Retcon! ^_^ ) (Got that Ard?) (Yes.) (Where's that chat backspace key?) * Hyfus flaps his wings furiously as he navigates the streets to make a fairly gentle landing on Amroth's shoulder. Have we found our halfing? There are a lot of people out here. How do we ever expect to find him? By looking for him. All we can do is look. Perhaps he is stealing from merchants or something else disruptive. * Kerek continues forward navigating through the waves of people. * Kardos follows. (are we in the market?) * Kerek pulls a citizen to the side and asks where he can purchase some wares. ( * The woman slaps Kerek. ) ( Pervert! ) [You enter the market. It's high-time for business, so the people are being busy. People of every race and kind can be found here, including some that you wouldn't expect. The wears are all around, and it looks like you find almost anything here.] * Kardos is only trying to find a halfling on a dog, at the moment. All over the place. Now let go before I call the cops! * Kardos blinks. "'Cops'?" (Err... not the best verb. And it HAD to be a woman eh?) ( At least you're not trying to find a dog on a halfling. It's probably easier to find a dog on a stick, though. ) Well, what are the chances there being more than one halfing riding a dog? We could ask the merchants. (* There are five halfings riding dogs in front of Kerek.) I suppose we could, at that. Yeah, the pigs, the guards. Look, just get off of me before I call them you punks. * Amroth steps aside and kindly gets the attention of a merchant. * The woman walks off into the mess of people. Kerek? Perhaps it would be best if you... er, right. Excuse me, Have you seen a halfling riding a dog; around here? He is a theif, and he might be stealing things from people. * Kardos frowns at the rather blunt accusation. ( I am NOT a thief! ) (He's a treasure hunter!) (You stole a night in the inn.) * Kerek heads off toward another merchant and asks if they have sighted a halfling with a dog companion. (I'll take the silence as a no...) * Kardos doubts a Merchant would care to remember something like that, and so he just looks around on his own. ( I did not. ) (He borrowed it! He'll return the night later! ;P) (Then why are we after you?) * Kerek keeps an eye open for Tavi as he asks around the market. * The merchants seem rather busy at the moment, but one of them manages to find enough time between his cosumers. "Whaddya want?" ( Hell if I know. ) (My merchant or Amroth's?) I'm looking for a pesky halfling riding on a dog.) (Amroth's. Your merchant is too busy to talk to. He's selling bags of socks.) (socks...) ( Socks, ey? Mighty suspicious. ) * Kerek feels ignored and looks around some more. (Light Bulb!) ( Because the merchant says that Tavi's a dirty thief, and according to the "Good Guys' Encyclopedia of Rules, vol. 3," the innkeeper is always right. Especially when he wields magics, knows your mentor, and claims that you owe him a fortune. ) It's hard to spot someone with all these people at eye level. * The merchant chews on some tobacco. "Yeah, I think I saw one go that way. Now are you gonna buy somethin'?" He points south. ( The bird has a point. ) (/me wants to "Mario Kick" his way up some buildings onto the rooftops. <-- Does that sound ok?) (only if you become Mario.) * Kardos looks around anyway. He's determined, as long as he doesn't have to talk to anyone. (You don't have the hat.) Well, what are you selling? (Fine, "Kerek kick" his way up the buildings.) ( Itsa me, monkey boy! ) (Monkey boy!) ( Monkey boy? ) * Kerek thinks he may be able to get onto the rooftops in order to get a better view of the market. ( Are you gonna take the Brachiation feat, Monkey boy? ) (sure, why not?) ( Doobie doobie doo.. ) (Come on Kerek lives for this jumping. I'll attempt it if GM is ok with it.) (The rooftops are rather high, and the walls are steep. Getting up there would require a great deal of luck, even for you.) (Maybe I can walk up a staircase?) (Hmmm.) *** Brett is on IRC ( And anyway, the angelic pird of prey didn't see anything from the skies. What hope do YOU have on the rooftops? Huh? Can you spot a mouse on rocky terrain in the rain? CAN YOU? ) (Yes.) ( Oh. Okay, then. ^_^ ) (Check for dog droppings.) * Kerek continues to search (on foot) for the halfling. (watch out, Kerek just steped in some.) ( In the middle of a city? That's like looking for a mosquito over a stagnant pond in the middle of summer. ) * Kerek peeks in some alleys for Tavi but just spots some beggars. (Can I say that or is that jumping the gun?) (so, what happened to my merchant?) (Gah that would be 2 in one session .) (One of them latches onto Kerek's leg! "Buy flower, two copper. Buy flower, two copper," it drones.) (Don't tempt me Ard.) ( Give 'im a chance, guys, he's dealing with at least two channels. ) ("ONE copper! Buy flower, one copper!" *latchdrag*) (Well if it was Aeris Gainsborough I would but then again she isn't a beggar she's a flower girl.) (just reminding...) (who?) (FFVII character.) ( "Buy a flower or a slit your throat, you snot-nosed little $%*&!" ) (Character from Final Fantasy 7. And yes, Schnee, that was next.) ( a => I ) ( You scare me. ) ( <^_^;; ) * Kerek can't seem to spot Tavi. [Guys, spot checks please?] (Roll equation? 1d20 right?) (That's d20+spot. If you don't have the skill, it defaults to wisdom bonus.) 1d20+2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kerek (1d20+2) and gets 3. d20+1 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Amroth (d20+1) and gets 3. (ouch) (...) (You notice... your toes.) (Kardos, you're their only hope!) (Come on 22!) ( Thank you, Princess Leia ) (no.) (Wow a 1...) (Hey, does Hyfus roll?) (Yes.) (Yay!) (Are you rolling people?) (Waiting...) (Kardos is not responding to my summons.) ( Hang on a sec... ) d20+10 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Hyfus (d20+10) and gets 16. ( @_@ SPot +10. Yeek. ) (nice...) (Oh, and Amroth has a +2 added to his. Hyfus is within 5 ft, so he has the alertness feat while that is the case.) ( No one escapes me. I have eyes like a hawk! ) ( Can you spot a mouse on the rocky terrain in the pouring rain? I know I can. ^_^_v) (Literally.) ( Hee. ) * Kerek finds nothing unusual. (Assuming that a 3 isn't a good roll.) (so, I get 1d20+3 when he is around?) ( High = good ) ( High is always good. ) ( Unless, for some ungodly reason, you want to fail. ) * Kardos looks low and high, but eventually finds the crowd. And gets very lost in it. * Kerek continues the fruitless search for Tavi. He peers into a large open area in the middle of the street and finds... more people walking around. [Nobody notices anything.] (not even Hyfus?) Amroth, tell your bird to look again. He may be our only chance of spotting Tavi. OK *** Zaft (EDeangelus@pool-68-162-100-167.phil.east.verizon.net) Quit (Ping timeout) * Kerek stands up on a crate and peers over the wave of heads. d20+5 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Alcinoe (d20+5) and gets 13. He says he sees something in the east moving through the crowd. (what was that for?) * Kerek quickens his pace and heads eastward. He just saw him turn back towards the inn. The inn? Why would he head back there? Hopefully to pay? Well, it makes our contract easier to finish. Let's head back. * Amroth turns around and heads towards the inn. * Kerek follows promptly. * Amroth starts walking faster. (Timewarp to inn!) (Start walkin' people.) (I am!) * Kerek walks toward the inn. He can almost spot it in the distance. * Kerek gets closer to the inn. * Kerek walking as he does. * Kerek until he reaches the inn of course. (what?) * Amroth keeps looking around while keeping up the fast pace. (Well, should I just say we find Tavi there, the contract is fulfilled, and we all wake up and end session? Wait I'm not GM.) (goof.) [You start walking down sidestreets. Most people give you slight looks as you do so, but usually get out of the way. This doesn't make it any faster, however] Hey, be quiet, we're getting closer. * Kerek doesn't shove a single person while moving throught the crowds. You know, the way a monk would walk through a street. * Amroth is very gentle when squeezing through crowds. He never knocks into anyone. * Amroth speeds up the pace into a jog. d20+5 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Alcinoe (d20+5) and gets 16. * Kerek increases his pace to a healthy power-walk. d20-1 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Tavi (d20-1) and gets 6. * Kerek continues in the direction of the inn. * Kardos emerges from the crowd, heading after Tavi, now that he's spotted him. [Kardos bumps into Kerek in his process of getting to Tavi.] * Kerek sees Kardos. "There you are I thought we lost you." * Kardos blinks. "Oh. H'lo, Kerek." He keeps after Tavi while he's at it, however. * Kerek follows after Kardos. * Amroth follows Kardos. Did you find anything Kardos? Alcinoe found him. I can't see her, though. Uhm, I believe I saw Tavi heading in that direction. *points; continues heading that way.* * Amroth turns to the left, and heads to find Alcinoe. * Kerek heads in the direction of the finger of pointage. He moves faster and moves ahead of Kardos while looking for Tavi. * Kardos blinks and increases his pace as well, easily keeping up with Kerek. (can I see them already?) * Kerek looks ahead and hopes to find Tavi. * Kardos keeps an eye out for Tavi. Oh where oh where has that halfling gone? (yes?) * Kerek goes from a fast walk to a job while frantically trying to spot Tavi. (*jog.) * Kardos continues to keep up. * Amroth looks forwards and things he sees Tavi speaking to Alcinoe in the distance. (thinks.) * Kerek follows up right next to Amroth and also spots Tavi. (I guess I did see him...) * Kerek decides that three guys running at Tavi would startle him so he sneaks towards him. (You guys spot him all right. You also spot another two people with him. Alcinoe, you know. This other guy though...) (Sneak.) (Move and Hide can be same time right?) * Kardos jogs up to the trio. "Ah, there you are. How lucky." I'm afraid I don't know what you're talking about. * Amroth just runs up to Tavi, and grabs his arm, carefully making sure that Tavi can't bite. *** Zaft (EDeangelus@pool-68-162-100-167.phil.east.verizon.net) has joined #Aeoth * Kerek sees Kardos just walk up to Tavi and decides to run at him. Unhand me, cur! * Kerek catches up and grabs Tavi's other arm. * Kardos blinks at Amroth. "Er, there's no need for that, sir." Yes, there is. * Kardos sweatdrops. "...and there isn't any need for that, either." * Kerek doesn't grab that hard. He bit me before. [You guys approach the group already there. They're having a conversation about money at the moment.] (Like a bodyguard asking someone to leave.) * Alcinoe blinks, then looks around at the guys. "Settle down!" Release me, or I'll have the Watch on you! * Zaft blinks curiously and looks up, then looks back down. "I think someone got upset. It'd really be best if you returned their money." * Kerek looks at the stranger. "That is the case." He looks back at Tavi. "Tavi, you have certain dues for the innkeeper. He would like to speak with you." Well, aren't you just so smart. We are. As it so happens, I was already going to settle accounts with him, as I have every day for the past three days! (Well, my wisdom is pretty high.) Er. Now release me, or I'll have the watch arrest you, you scoundrel! * Kerek releases Tavi. "Well, let's head off right now then shall we?" * Kardos rubs his face, then grabs Tavi, pulls him out of Amroth and Kerek's hands, and sets him carefully down on his feet. * Amroth releases Tavi. ( Oop. I acted too late. ;_; ) (Hrm...) (And now I let them interact. Yay!) (hmm...) If you call the watch, I'm sure they'd be interested to hear about the money you stole. Now, if you're done halflinghandling me, I'll GO. Alright then. Lets go. * Kardos blinks. "He stole money?" Lets go. * Alcinoe eyes Tavi. "Looks like." (Kerek, quit stealing my lines 2 seconds early...) * Zaft looks at Kardos and nods. "Yeah. That's why I followed him in here." Come, Ziegfried! * Tavi begins walking easily through the crowd, followed by his immense war dog. * Kerek follows the elusive halfling down the street. ...I so wish someone had thought to mention that sooner. Perhaps if you were a tad less HUMAN, you'd have thought to ASK. * Amroth follows Tavi closely. * Tavi tosses his head defiantly. (ZING!) * Zaft follows along. Not like he has anything better to do, and he wants to keep an eye on this halfling. * Alcinoe shakes her head and waves for Kardos to follow her, then turns to walk after the halfling. * Tavi marches up the stairs into the inn. "Innkeep!" *** Innkeeper (Zegon@12-213-43-67.client.attbi.com) has joined #Aeoth * Kardos can't think of anything polite to say to that, so he doesn't say anything. * Kerek stands right next to Tavi and awaits the innkeeper. * Kardos follows Alcinoe! Whee. * Innkeeper comes walking out. "Well, I was wondering when you'd get back here." It was HARDLY necessary to send your hired thugs after me. Have I not returned dutifully every morning for the past three days to pay you? Alright sir, Tavi is here as agreed. Now our dues are cleared as contracted. I have returned. I have fulfilled my contract. * Kardos frowns. "Pardon me, but I am not a thug, nor was I hired." * Kerek stares at Tavi after that thug comment. * Amroth ignores the thug comment. * Innkeeper smiles. "Thank you for your assistance. You needen't pay your dues as we had agreed." He's talking to Tavi. "But I do wish you were a bit more honerable about how you got your money." * Innkeeper looks at Amroth and Kerek. "And as for you, let this be a lesson to you. Never take anything for granted, and never, ever skip on your bill." * Tavi rolls his eyes. "I make a living however I can, and I place no undue burden on another." * Kerek turns toward Zaft. "I did not get your name sir. I am Kerek." * Amroth turns towards Zaft. "My name is Amroth, and yours?" (/me feels ignored and jumps onto some rooftops.) * Tavi reaches into his pack and withdraws a handful of gold. "Three pieces per night was the price, I believe?" (/me kicks Kerek in the leg before he can get away.) * Innkeeper snickers. "You're learning fast. Always tell people you see your name, that way they know you when they kill you." He smiles. * Zaft grins. "I'm Zaft. Zaft Zara. Nice to meet you." * Zaft peers past to Tavi. "You still need to return that I believe." * Innkeeper looks at Tavi. "You needn't pay. Your services were more than helpful." Ah, very well. Likewise. Would you know of any problems around town that we may address? * Kardos pulls up a seat and sits, looking miserable. * Tavi looks extraordinarily pleased, and puts the gold away. (What's going on? Why didn't Tavi pay?) * Alcinoe looks over at Kardos, then has a seat next to him. "Ya all right?" (Sore wa...) ( Sore wa... ) (KILL YOU ALL.) (java) (killyouarwenjava.) * Innkeeper shakes his head. "There hasn't been anything recently. Unless you count the Hextorian plauge that's been in the countryside. But I'm sure Alcinoe is off to figure out what's wrong there anyways." Ah, so that must be the problem Alcinoe was speaking of before. I suppose. I'm not sure how I feel about having been used as an implement of education such as this. * Alcinoe blinks as the innkeeper mentions that, but nods just the same. * Innkeeper glances at Alcinoe. "No one is as they seem. You should know that." I didn't like that either. * Kardos blinks at the Innkeeper, then nods. * Kerek walks over to Alcinoe. "About that plague, have you found anything yet about what may be the cause of it?" * Zaft watches curiously. So, Zaft, who are you, and what are you doing here? We were heading off to do that this morning, but got sidetracked by all... this. * Alcinoe waves her hand. * Amroth sees this out of the corner of his eye. I'm just a wanderer, and I'm wandering through here. Well now that's over we can head off as soon as you are ready. Where will we be heading? * Amroth turns in response, "All what? You mean the search?" * Innkeeper clears his throat. "And Alcinoe. Do be careful, the church has lost many good people such as yourself down there before you. And many were even better equiped to handle the situation." * Kardos frowns. * Kerek looks at the innkeeper. "Lost? To what?" * Amroth turns back to Zaft. * Alcinoe looks at the innkeeper, then says bluntly, "If yer tryin' ta be subtle, it ain't workin'." She gets to her feet and turns, going up the stairs. Do you know where I could get a job around here. I'm kind of short on money. Oh dear, what got HER underclothes all in a bunch? * Innkeeper glares at Tavi, then heads back into the inn. * Kardos frowns, then shrugs. To the innkeeper, he says "For my part, I don't mind a well-intentioned warning." *** Innkeeper (Zegon@12-213-43-67.client.attbi.com) has left #Aeoth * Kardos heads up after Alci, like a good bodyguard. * Zaft looks at Tavi again. "So, you planning on returning that stuff?" What stuff? * Kerek overhears the conversation. "What stuff?" The money you stole. Money? Nonsense! You're daft, man. I've stolen nothing! (I told you you were a theif...) (The plot thickens! DUN DUN DUN!) ( AM NOT! NOT NOT NOT NOT NOT! ) ( Are too. ) (like plot soup.) Well, unless I suddenly went insane, you did. I saw you. I am not suprised. * Kerek decides to take a seat and waits for Alcinoe to come back out. Definitely insane, boy. Definitely insane. You can't have seen me stealing money, because I didn't steal money. * Amroth pulls up a chair next to Kerek. You did. I most certainly did not. You MUST be daft. I hear that's a common affliction in humans over the age of ten. ( I be going home. Pretend Hyfus is doing quiet, birdy things as directed by your charming and witty GM. Have fun! ) d20 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Tavi (d20) and gets 14. (Ta Schnee.) (Suckup. ~_^) (later.) (Later Schnee.) *** Hyfus (schneeble@63.114.152.162) Quit (Quit: Baby don't fear the reape--gkk!) (Peace.) * Zaft rolls his eyes. "Funny. Very funny. You are hilarious." I should certainly hope so. I hope to eventually pursue a career as a jester. That's a field with a woeful lack of halflings. Amroth, do you know anything about this plague? I have yet to hear about it. *** Hyfus (Zegon@12-213-43-67.client.attbi.com) has joined #Aeoth I actually don't know anything about the plague. I am looking for a job. I need some money. What about you? Do you know where I can pick up some gold? A few more gold pieces would not hurt. Perhaps there is an award to curing this plague. *** Capfox has left IRC I'm up for that, if it's possible. * Tavi rolls his eyes. I swear, you people are a laugh a minute. How will I ever become a jester with you around? (You realize that Hextor is a diety, and that a plauge by him would more likely be a huge surge of followers.) (With a very negative connotation.) (huh? confussion...) (So a bunch of rampant followers doing evil things?) So, you're not planning on returning that money, are you? ( "There's been a wild upswing in the number of followers of Hextor." IE, a Plague of them. ) ( Hextor = God of Tyranny and Other Unpleasant Things) (Thank you.) (got'cha...) I can't return what I didn't steal, you daft boy. I've no intention of giving my money away when I can use it better. (Well, Kerek likes balance. And that plague doesn't balance things out. Therefore Kerek must balance it.) Now, if you've nothing more important to do, go work in the stables or something. * Tavi shoos Zaft away. (Don't tell me you actually believe that balance crap.) Are they hiring? (The Force is balanced.) (come to the dark side) ( What movies have YOU been watching? ) (Not in this univers it ain't.) (Err, universe.) * Zaft eyes Tavi. "We could get the watch maybe. They might be interested." (It's however I'm feeling at the time. ^_^) (so, what's going on? I want action) The watch has nothing whatsoever to say to me, silly boy. Now go AWAY. (fight, fight!) (Jump jump!) (kick, kick!) * Hyfus cocks his head to the side. * Kerek stands up. "Yes, maybe there is a bounty on this halfling's head?" *** Erik (Zegon@12-213-43-67.client.attbi.com) has joined #Aeoth * Alcinoe steps out of the inn. "You're a bloodthirsty lot." * Amroth , hearing of money, responds, "Bounty?" * Kardos emerges from the stables, leading two horses. (/me is slow to respond.) Just a suggestion. Hey Alcinoe, are you going now or what? (my horse?) (Luthien is bored.) I swear, you people are simply all too eager to prey upon a poor helpless halfling. Helpless? Ziegfried! Come! I just want you to return that money. * Alcinoe blinks, looking over at Kerek. "We?" * Erik walks up to Alcinoe. He has a young child by his side and is walking with a walking stick. He's a bit old, but looks like a priest of Heironious. "Glad I could see you off sister Alcinoe." * Tavi mounts Ziegfried. Well, I thought you may need some help solving this dilemma. I'm in too. (LOL!!!! Tavi mounts Ziegfried. That is way too funny.) * Tavi looks over at Alcinoe. "Well, priestess? This is your last chance to ask me on your little task." ( ...you sick, sick bastard. ) ( ...ew. ) * Alcinoe blinks again, then turns to Erik. "We would have been off earlier, but we were sidetracked by some business at the inn." (that is funny...bur gross.) ( I need some mental floss, stat. ) * The child runs forward and glomps onto Alcinoe. "Hi!" He says in a childish tone. (Steel wool. IN HEAD!) Well now that we aren't sidetracked, maybe we can do something now? * Kardos bows to the good priest. (sand blaster...) * Alcinoe oofs, more for show than anything, then laughs and kneels, mussing the kid's hair. "Hey, kiddo. How's it goin'?" I'm ready,. * Kardos smiles a little as he recognizes the child. "Hello. Are you well?" It's been really cool! They took me to this place with tons of water and dunked me, and they gave me another shirt, and it was really bright! * Kardos chuckles. (Food. 5 minutes. Go ahead cause we don't seem to be moving that fast.) *** Brett is on IRC * Zaft continues to eye Tavi, and sighs. "Nothing more stubborn." * Alcinoe grins. "That's good." (What, food? Where? Give me some.) And who's your friends? Are they cool like you? Can they make dad fall over just by looking at him? Because I can and it's not really hard because he drinks all that icky water all the time. * Kardos chuckles nervously. * Erik chuckles. "He's definetly been a handful." * Alcinoe snerks at that, then says, "Don't know all their names, but what's yours? Don't think I ever caught it." * Hyfus looks around as if he missed something. Dad called me 'pest.' But I don't like that name anyways. The guy with the robes and the big stick said my name was Silvester, but I said that was too long and he wouldn't believe me and he just calls me that anyways. *** Silvester (Zegon@12-213-43-67.client.attbi.com) has joined #Aeoth * Alcinoe snickers. "Got a name you like more, then?" I don't think so. Maybe 'monster annilator,' or 'the scourge of the dead.' Dad always said I talk too much, do you think I talk too much? I don't think I talk too much. He doesn't talk too much. ( I gotta get the trash out. ) Nah. I don't think you talk too much. Scourge of the Dead's kinda long, though. Naw. Besides, better ya talk a lot then talk a lot of crap like some halflings I know. (Zing!) * Silvester spies Tavi. "Hi what's your name? You're with her aren't you? Are you big and strong and does lightning fly out your mouth and can you speak in twenty different languages and are you my age because you look like it. " * Hyfus looks down an alley and flies in that direction. Tavi, maybe, no, no, no, but close, and absolutely not, I'm a halfling, not a silly human child. Maybe I should be silly. Silly is like Silvester only not because it doesn't sound the same but I bet they look the same and you're a halfling? Cool I always wanted to meet one! I've always wanted to meet one, too. * Tavi smirks. (Silvester is Rei, only male and with about nine years taken off.) ( So... he's Rei? ) ( Rei! ) * Kardos seems confused. Kid was a lot quieter before. If you get tired of all these stuffy humans, come see me, kid. I'll teach you real magic. So whatcha doin' and can I come too and where are you going with your big horses? Is that the big black one because it looks really cool and I never found out your name lady and where are we again? ( I really gotta get that trash out soon. ) ( Then go do it. ^.~ ) (Game ends at 9:00 anyways. ^^;) (Unless Kerek can stay on longer.) ( Kay. I probably won't be back by then, so I'll just dechar. ) *** Zaft is now known as Atom *** Atom is on IRC (Im back yay!) ( Kerek, you can stay on longer, can'tcha? ;_; ) (Yes) * Alcinoe chuckles and shakes her head. "Nah, you can't come. But I'll visit every time I'm nearby, okay? And I'm Alcinoe, and that," she gestures to the big black horse, "is Gabriel. He was nice enough ta carry you to the temple." (Longer as in 9:30 yes) Well, he definetly has a lot to say, doesn't he. It's nice to see him meet someone he can talk to. Normally he's so quiet. Which temple do you speak of Alcinoe? * Kardos smirks. "Is he, now?" * Erik looks at Karek with a 'people these days' expression. "The temple of Heironeous." OK. * Hyfus returns with a rat in his mouth. He perches on Amroth's shoulder as he disects his meal. * Kerek begins to feel a bit distracted. Maybe this plague can leak over to his temple as well. So, are you leaving now sister? * Kardos looks like he's anxious to hit the road. * Alcinoe nods. "Yes, that was the plan." She ruffles the kid's hair again. "Don't give 'em too much trouble, okay?" * Silvester looks at Alcinoe. "I can't? But I'd be a really big help and Gabriel's a cool name and I wanna come too and meet all your neat friends and where are you going again?" He looks like he's almost going to cry. * Hyfus finishes the fine art of eating with feet and keeping the mess off of Amroth. * Alcinoe smiles faintly. "It's dangerous. I'll tell you all about it when I see you again, okay?" * Silvester sniffles. "Okay." * Kerek paces around the room and contemplates... things. * Amroth looks at Kerek. "What are we waiting for?" Lets go somewhere. ( @_@ Remind me never to drink chamomile tea while gaming. ) * Alcinoe nods again, then stands to her full height and goes about mounting Gabriel. (Why's that?) ( Because ti's so damn relaxing, I can't stay awake. ) Well, we can help out Alcinoe. Looks like you're ready to head off Gabriel. To where? * Kardos leaps onto his horse, who doesn't seem to mind. (Reminder, don't drink chamomile tea while gaming.) * Silvester looks at Kardos. "Wow! Where did you get that tatoo and can I get one except blue and breathing ice and what's that holding your hair back?" (hey, where is my horse?) ( Dude, where's his horse?! ) ( Monks are so cool! I want to be one!) (The inn stables are where the horses would be kept.) (kardos has a tattoo?) (Err karek) * Amroth turns to Kerek. "Lets go get our horses." To the local stable then? * Tavi shrugs. "Very well, if you want me not, I'll be going elsewhere." * Amroth turns towards the stables. * Tavi turns Ziegfried about and heads off into the city. (Oh, sure, I've been paying perfect attention to *you*, Tavi. :P) * Erik looks at Amroth. "So you are going to be keeping Alcinoe safe? From what I've heard, she won't need it, but we've heard just about everything recently. Things have really been changing..." ( Everyone ignores the halfling. ) * Kerek walks with Amroth to acquire a horse. * Kardos blinks. "Tatoo?" Where are you going Tavi and can I come with? I do plan on helping, but first, I must get Luthien. * Silvester runs after Tavi. "That's a really cool dog! Can I pet it because it's really big and kinda drooling!" * Kardos blinks down at Sly with a confused look. * Amroth and Kerek enter the stables, and return with their horses. * Tavi keeps going, not appearing to hear the boy. * Alcinoe groans. "Silvester, get back here!" She hops off her horse and runs after the kid. (I ment to say Kerek dangit!) * Kardos blinks. "...I have a tatoo?" Then he hops off his horse and after the kid. Need to keep 'im outta trouble. (What's said is said tho... people tend to shred those things apart. I would know better...) *** Ardweden has left IRC So we can follow you Alcinoe whenever you are ready. I'm ready. * Amroth climbs onto the horse. * Kerek mounts his steed. Luthien and I are ready for whatever lies ahead. (Mwuahaa.) (I got a rental.) (money?) ( That's the dumbest thing that can come out of an adventurer's mouth. ) (It's on Tavi's tab.) ( I'll pay for your horse over your dead body. ) (Well, then I'm selling my horse, and getting a rental on Tavi's tab also!) (Fire in the belly.) [And so Alcinoe and Kerek run after and (probably) keep the kid from getting too involved with Tavi. Amroth and Kerek follow the duo without their consent, but that doesn't stop them. Tavi runs off and does god-knows-what, and Zaft probably keeps an eye on Tavi for the time being. This hurts my head, so I'm just going to end the session here. Session end.] (Ok enough.)

[Last time, on this game which I'm calling Aeoth because I can't think up a non-lame name for the campaign: read it at the end of the log. We now join Alcinoe and Kardos when they are approaching Everon. Amroth and Kerek seem insistant on tagging along, even after Alcinoe told them to leave. (cont.)] (Pause.) [Tavi and Zaft haven't been seen or heard of since the incident, but something tells me they'll be showing up soon enough.] (Hey I got a free horse by tagging along.) (What do you need Amroth? We haven't even started yet?) (And yes, I'm going to be going over with each of you how much your various items costed/what you consumed.) ( Er? ) (In particular... Kerek doesn't own a horse of his own.) ( Ah. ) (Its a rental. Comes with three legs. The fourth one is for insurance.) (Ok, I'm back. ) (Alright, read up.)

Session Start.] ( W00t! ) * Kerek rides his rental horse following the party. * Kardos rides along on a horse with no name. It feels good to be out of the rain. * Amroth rides in front of Kerek. * Alcinoe rides Gabriel, trying very hard not to look put out by the incompetent stalkers following her. She's mostly failing. * Zaft isn't here at the moment. Kinda good, as I'm GMing too. * Amroth rides his horse which is named Luthien * Kardos says something hopeful that he knows can't be true. "Perhaps, madam, they aren't trully following us? It could possibly be a coincidence." * Kerek looks in the distance and spots a town. Unfamiliar with towns in this area, he asks: "What town is that?" (We need some random battles FF style.) Everon. That's where we're goin'. (Erm, I got Kerek mixed with Kardos.) (Scratch that statement. :P) [Everon is a large city, with roads going to it from all sides. It is surrounded by plenty of farms, and caravans are going in and out of the gates almost constantly. There's a few large buildings, but it is, for the most part, low and large.] [There is no river leading to or from it, just farmland on all sides.] * Kerek ponders. Maybe these caravans have some trouble with raiders and such. (Fallout. Classic.) * Alcinoe glances at Kardos. "Y'can't actually think that." *** RDMgryphon is on IRC (I'm assuming we are close enough to enter the town. ) * Kardos shrugs. "I try to maintain an optimistic disposition, m'lady." * Kerek rides ahead and enters Everon. Mebbe, but optomistic or not, they're followin' us. [No, he doesn't.] * Amroth gains speed on his trusty horse, Luthien, and follows Kerek. ( Kerek falls off the edge of the world! ) (What?) (Again!) (Amroth follows.) ( He's good at that. *nods* ) (Ok I dont wanna spend 20 minutes moving toward the town. Remember last time?) (Rule one. Don't lead the GM.) (Okies.) (There's lots of "rule one"s, you'll notice.) ( Relax, guys. ) (aaah...) (I still get one more "fall over world" thingy.) ( Don't worry 'bout it. ^.~ ) (You're going torwards the city. You guys just started to see it, you're not getting there in five minutes.) * Kardos sighs. "Perhaps they are." * Alcinoe snickers and spares the duo a glances. "No perhaps about it." * Amroth still gains speed on Luthien, and wanders ahead towards the city. * Kerek looks into the horizon around him and notices the nice farmland defunct of any features. (glance, even.) (No split up. Please no split up?) (He's splitting up...) (Where did we come from?) (Kill him!) (Oriel.) ( devoid, Kerek, not defunct. ) (Is defunct like da funk?) (not exactly.) (well, not at all...) (Or Daft Punk?) (No, not that either.) (you people need slang dictionaries.) (It was a joke, James dear.) (Dear?) (I don't think so!) (Would you rather me call you a warted, horrible growth of a little man?) (no.) (Then don't complain. ^^) * Kardos looks thoughtful. (I was born to complain.) * Alcinoe glances around and hrms. [You guys get closer to the city! As you approach, the gates get bigger and it becomes obvious why it hasn't been decemated by the centuries of war which usually ravage this countryside.] (mmm, war...) Impressive walls. I'll say. Looks like the town is built for war. * Amroth slows Luthien down to regroup with the rest. * Alcinoe ignores Amorth. Really, she does. ( Can yuh feel da love? ) * Kerek cracks his knuckles. * Kardos blinks and looks around for the source of the noise, settlign down when he finds it's just Kerek. *** Ardweden has left IRC *** Ardweden is on IRC *** Petra_fan1 (Petrafan1@12-248-255-73.client.attbi.com) has joined #aeoth *** Nivek (Zegon@12-213-43-67.client.attbi.com) has joined #Aeoth *** Zegon (Zegon@12-213-43-67.client.attbi.com) Quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) *** Rei (arwen@12-213-43-67.client.attbi.com) has joined #aeoth *** Nivek is now known as Zegon ( ...wonky. ) *** Alcinoe (arwen@12-213-43-67.client.attbi.com) Quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) *** Amroth (Petrafan1@12-248-255-73.client.attbi.com) Quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) (We've all got the same provider.) *** Rei is now known as Alcinoe *** Petra_fan1 is now known as Amroth (COMCAST SUCKS) (No, same server.

The fucker waited for us to get close to the intersection when she could have gone twenty seconds earlier, when she first pulled up to the intersection, and _then_ pulled out right in front of us. Pac Man is yellow. I like Pac Man. Your mother dodge like the mad ninja driver she is? Yes. * Zegon hands Hyfus a dot. *chomp* (Are we even in game?) Not as far as I know. Not right now. But you might want to try gamming anyways. It'd be good practice. Practice is overrated, er, underrated, I think. (How much longer?) Not much. I don't think, anyways. * Hyfus flaps his wings, gaining altitude until he is easily two hundred feet overhead. After a minute or two of graceful gliding, he wheels, tucks his wings back, and dives. Moments later he blasts into a hapless pigeon, leaving nothing in his wake but a puff of gray feathers and some celestial glitter. (we paused at 7:14...) * Zegon smiles. "Nicely done." ^_^ I'm sorry for the delays, okay? * Zegon is getting just a *little* stressed. Patience. You must have patience. * Amroth smiles, ah the patients, er, patience. It's a bad thing when you have more ooc comments in your buffer than IC ones. * Amroth smiles hoping to break the stress. Yes. You don't want to break the stress. Then I kill things, starting with the character that broke it. * Hyfus flies back to Amroth, dropping the dead and broken pigeon loyally at the wizard's feet. Why, thank you. * Hyfus lets out a piercing cry and flaps his wings vigorously as he navigates a gentle but somewhat heavy landing on Amroth's shoulder. * Kerek watches over the bodies of his defeated enemies and gives out a hearty breath as he resumes his journey. ( Hyfus: negotiates, not navigates, I think. ) ( Tavi: Yes, good point. Thanks. My mind is still on the dinner I'm grilling in the other room. ) (I want some.) brb *** Kerek (jbchary@cpe-66-87-98-155.il.sprintbbd.net) Quit (Quit: ) *** Kerek (jbchary@cpe-66-87-98-155.il.sprintbbd.net) has joined #Aeoth (New Computer Needed.)

Turns out the person serving her was slower than Pedro working the popcorn bins.) (wow!) (now THATS slow ladies and gentlemen) ( The mind boggles. o_O ) ( But does it juggle? ) (I haven't heard any other reports of her, but I think she was messier too... and she STARED at Ard.) (I didn't know anyone could possibly move that slow, other than me in the morning) ( Stared how? Like "Get your knuckles ready?" or "Freak show!" or "Hey, baby..."? ) (I think Freak Show would be the appropriate term.) ( Ah. That's not very nice. ) *** Ardweden is on IRC Alright, are we ready to continue? REALLY sorry about the delays. ;_; (45 minute session can't be that bad.) Okay, back. Apologies. It's all good. * Tavi distributes Nutella. Tasty! It's peanut butter, if peanut butter were chocolate! Well, actually, it's chocolate hazelnut spread. And Ard get's interrupted by Dad.... again. We barely have 20 minutes left. I know. ;_; I think we gotta call it. Wah! ;_; does anyone actually have to leave at 9? me I'm up for staying. Well, we'll just tie you up to a horse, and ignore your existance... ha ill be quiet like most monks are sippin on tea exactly. * Zegon sighs. "Alright. When are people free? Maybe we can get some mini's in durring that time..." i dont have any time till tuesday LCAP on monday weekend eaten by loews Where are you doing LCAP? Spectrum Youth and Family. weekend is the same for me. Loews is hungry. Some teen-center. Cool. They don't want Ard working. Weird, eh? Seriously? Very weird. * Alcinoe dies Kerek up and ignores his existance. Well, they didn't schedual me on Saturday this weekend, but they are supposedly fixing that... ...you gotta be kidding me. Yeah, Tony told me that he didn't want someone working for a few montsh then taking an absense for a few months then working for a few months... And I didn't say it, but I was thinking, "What the hell are you doing hiring college students?" ... ...fucktards. I would have said it... but in a nicer manner. I wouldn't have said it nicer. Anyways, let's continue. We still have 15 minutes left. He also said that he has enough people. Which is a first in Loews history, ladies and gentlemen. The doctors note pissed me off. Hey Joe, James! Quit! :P Ha. Crazy stuff at Loews. I better head off for tonight then. Quit? * Alcinoe shrugs. If they don't need the girl with the beautiful smile *preen* it's their loss. ^_~ I concur. G'night everyone! Um... 'night. Cya next time. Be on time!!!! Er... 'night? ? hey, stick around. You don't have to leave till 9. We have 15 minutes left. I *don't* want to loose it. me either. I can handle it. i guess ok gogog o Okay, continuing in 5... 4... 3... 2...

(I'm just a yes-man...) ( x.x ) (another Simpson's refrence.) (gotta love 'em.) * Kerek approaches the gate and attempts to enter the town. * Guard does guard stuff, looking over the various caravans entering and leaving the city. * Amroth follows into the city close behind. * Guard looks at Kerek and puts his pole-arm in front of him before he can enter. "Halt, citizen." * Kerek halts promptly. * Amroth stops just in time to avoid hitting Kerek. I would like access through the gate. What do you need guard? * Guard peers at Kerek. "Odd tatoo you have there. What's your game mister?" (Sir would be nice.) I am Kerek from the Temple of Todachi. * Guard nods. "Kerek, eh? What business do you have in the city?" (/me pulls out a plasma grenade, and prepares to throw it for a distraction.) I wish to enter for rest, supplies, and information. ( ¬_¬ ) * Guard nods. "Very well then. Proceed." * Kerek walks through the gate and enters. * Amroth looks at the guard. "May I also enter?" * Guard looks at the elf. "What are you here for, Elf?" I am here to find a job. I need money. Just some honest work. * Kardos hangs back and listens, presumably with Alcinoe. * Guard spits on the floor next to Amroth's feet. "Look for a job all you want, but you won't find one. Enter." * Amroth looks at the door, and then at the guard. He decides it isn't worth arguing about, and enters the city. * Kardos frowns. They must not like elves... this could be a problem. * Alcinoe watches passively, then rides Gabriel on up. She waves for Kardos to come with her. * Kardos nods and follows. * Guard looks at Alcinoe and Kardos. He puts his halberd in front of Gabriel. "What business have you in Everon?" So, Kerek, where sould we head? *** jbchary2 (jbchary@cpe-66-87-98-155.il.sprintbbd.net) has joined #aeoth * Alcinoe looks down at the guard.

And now you've got more time to work on your character for EW2. True. ^_^ Only a week and a day to finish up. Wanna play more. ;.; Who wants to do a random fight? * Alcinoe kills people randomly. * Hyfus dies thusly. *** Hyfus (schneeble@adsl-64-161-31-142.dsl.sntc01.pacbell.net) has left #Aeoth Random fight'd be okay, I guess. ^_^ I'd rather do plotstuff, tho. Session Close: Thu Mar 13 21:00:50 2003 Session Start: Thu Mar 27 18:47:47 2003 Session Ident: #Aeoth *** Now talking in #Aeoth wow, I don't want to smell, see, or think about that. * Kardos happens to think that's the best kind of GMing, really. * Zegon closes unneccessary channels. (Sounds like a plan.) What's the best kind of GMing? ND> Flight by the seat of one's pants. Ah. Not only is it GMing, it's a mode of transportation, too! Everyone IC and ready to make fools of thems-- I mean Roleplay? It is! It's great when you can't afford air fare. Why would I ever make a fool of myself, it's much more fun to make fools of other people, and a fool and his money are soon parted, did you know that? Well at least one person is. * Kardos gets in character! He glances around uncertainly. * Zegon checks the script "Okay, so where did we leave off? Yada yada, kill the ogre... No, too far. Get to Everon and... Ah, that's where it is!" * Amroth decides that to be in character, he should be wearing pants. * Kerek characterizes. No, Amroth dear. A dress. * A random person runs by and screams "No pants for joo!" He's obviously crazy and must be killed. * Alcinoe kills him. * Amroth kills Alcinoe. "It's a robe." x.x I wear pants under there. * Kardos was going to kill the crazy guy, but instead avenges Alcinoe's death by killing Amroth. * Amroth dies with honor. Are you sure? Amroth could be the Duke of No Pants, after all. Let me think...yeah, I'm sure. I wear pants. Meh. Stupid boring elf. ;.; * Zegon clears his throat. "Okay, now that everyone's in character, I guess we can start and try to get you guys to work together... again." ( We're your GM trial by fire. ) * Amroth shrugs. "Work together?" Oh, Amroth? Not everyone durring this time period wore pants. Pants are pretty unusual. High society wears them, as do most adventurers. I WEAR PANTS! But commoners wear mostly tunics, with loincloths for people whose occupation makes tunics hazardous. * Zegon nods. "ND's right." Pants, or pantaloons? Or overalls, maybe? Okay, anyways, let's get this party started (Pun not intended, but happened anyways.)! Or ahve ye a kilt unner 'ere? (Grah) what pun? I'm confused. You're also clueless. Maybe I should drop your wis score down a few notches... Hey, that's not very nice. Your point? I'm very sharp. Pun intended. Yu: Be glad you didn't end up in EW2, then, because I _love_ 3e poison. Yeah, as sharp as a rubber ball... * Kardos hands Amroth some dry wool. * Amroth bounces at Zegon. Tavi> *blink* Eh? Where'd that come from? I was wondering about that one. Yu: 3e poison does ability damage. There are plenty of poisons that affect Int, Wis, and Cha. There are more for the physical abilities, of course, but there are plenty for Int, Wis, and Cha. Okay, before we start, I want to know where each of you are going in town. I'm still confused. ...I honestly can't remember. The inn, maybe? Well, "an" inn. It is about midday right now, if that helps. Kardos is confused, but that's okay. I'm heading to the local temple. An inn. Probably one that hangs out signs like "Adventurers Welcome" and "Not a Trap, Honest." The last thing I recall is getting into a new town. * Zegon nods. "Oh, and each of you should pick up OpenRPG if you can. I'd like to use it if possible." I have it, but don't know how to use it. * Alcinoe nods. That's the other thing: an inn. Either or, GM. ^^ I'll be looking for something to do to boost XP and/or gold. I'm gettin restless. A job? Okay. And you Amroth? * Tavi snickers. I ned money. *need* * Zegon nods. "You're poor... REALLY poor." and it couldn't hurt to boost XP. I'll show you poor. ... Look...over there... A poor adventurer. *tsk* Must be low-level. Oh, wait, that's me in a mirrow. First things first. Don't ask for EXP from the GM. It just makes it less-likely you'll get it. *mirror* Sure. Okay, starting the session. Quiet people? * Kardos is always quiet. He's meek like that. * Amroth doesn't make a "peep." [We join our heroes as the enter Everon. It is midday, and business is still going on. The guard seperated Amroth and Kerek from Alcinoe and Kardos, which could be considered a blessing or a curse, depending on how you look at it. Kerek and Amroth are searching for a job of some kind, probably one that involves the slaughtering of innocent pesan- I mean beasties in the wild and bad guys. (cont.)] ( There's a difference? Yes. ) (?) ( Kidding. ^^; ) [Alcinoe and Kardos are looking for an inn, or the Temple of Heironeous, whichever they come across first. Tavi hasn't been seen since the last time you saw him, and knowing the GM that won't last long. Go do whatever it is you adventurers do, and don't be too stupid, okay?] (what are you saying?) [Session Start] (If you want descriptions, just ask.) * Kardos looks around, and decides to see if there's any evil cultists of Hextor walking around. (as far as the streets go...and no, I don't me streets of woodfield...are they traveled by horse or by foot more?) (Give me a Knowledge(religion) roll Kardos.) (Both.) (ok) (Err, Kerek.) There must be something going wrong around here that needs force to be resolved. (describe my surroundings. (people, buildings, etc.)) (Actually, don't bother.) (Gimme a sec im finding my sheet.) (Don't bother Joe.) (Ill take 10 then.) [The city is busy, and the vendors, as you might think, are selling their wares. It's not as busy as Oriel, however, and there are more horses and less pedestrians than usual.] *** Schneeble (schneeble@adsl-64-161-31-142.dsl.sntc01.pacbell.net) has joined #Aeoth (Nice you could make it.) *** Hyfus (Zegon@12.213.43.67) Quit (Quit: I want to flyyyy awaaaaeaaaayy...o/~) *** Schneeble is now known as Hyfus (Yeah, yeah, yeah! *cough*) (So overall mood of town is content then?) * Amroth rides over to a nearby vender. "Excuse me, sir? Do you have a moment?" * The vendor looks at you polietly. "Yes? I have many moments, but few are for you." (He's so sweet. I want a plushie of one.) * Amroth dismounts Luthien. "Do you know of anyone looking for help around here?" (Luthien is my horse's name) Anyone looking for help? Why we are all in need of help, but what kind are you providing, hmm? (The illegal kind!) * Hyfus perches on the pommel of the saddle and watches impassively as his master converses with the vendor. (You have to work 3 times as hard when it's legal.) Well, I can do all sorts of things. What kinds of things need to be done? * Kerek walks over to the enthralling conversation and listens in. But can't we all? I bet you fancy yourself as some sort of wizard, right? Well, actually, I am. Did my attire give me away? I can think of many things that need to be done. For one, you need to learn how to ask questions that make sense. (jerk.) * Amroth ignores that comment. I can say it did, I can say it didn't. Does it matter to you? * Kerek whispers in Amroth's pointy ear: "If this guy wants help moving boxes around then he is just wasting our time. Cut to the chase." No, I guess not. (Mario jump him.) (Hey, how'd you get here? Did you just appear?) What kind of help are you looking for? Who said I was the one looking for help? Certinly not the kind you can provide, unless you can sell these yourself. * He points at a few cheap trinkets hanging on the wall of his booth. (Grrr.) OK, if you don't need help, do you know where I could find a guild hall? * Tavi speaks up from behind Kerek, "You know, if you're looking for something you really should be more direct, unless of course it's something illegal you're looking for, in which case you really should consult someone better qualified than a streetside merchant." (He snuck up on you good!) ( I didn't _have_ to sneak. :P ) (Exactly! ;P) I think what these two boys are looking for, friend merchant, is work of the sort you'd hire an adventurer to do, since they've run away from their proper occupations of meditation and the scribing of scrolls. They're rather new, so please forgive them for not understanding. ( *grins* ) I myself am rather unfamiliar with this town, and would appreciate it if you could direct not only them, but me, to any local area for the hire of adventurers, or barring that, the nearest good inn or tavern. Ah, someone who knows what to ask. The adventurer's guild hall is down the street, take the first left, travel three blocks, and it's on your right. Ya can't miss it. * Hyfus turns his fethered head slightly, looking down at Tavi as if the halfling were a rather clever bit of food. (feathered, even) Thank you, sir. * Tavi nods and flips the merchant a copper. "For the time that these two wasted. Come along, boys." * Tavi turns Ziegfried and follows the merchant's directions. * The vendor catches it. "Thank you kind sir." * Amroth mounts Luthien, and turns in the direction that the merchant pointed him. * Kerek leads his horse along the ground and heads off with Amroth. (are you on it?) Consider this your first lesson in adventuring. There's a time for plain talk, and there's a time for innuendo. You need to know them. (and how are you paying for it, and when are you returning it?) (Aww, Tavi's taken them under his wing! ^^) (Suckers! XD) (Only Hyfus has wings.) (I'm under Hyfus' wings.) * Hyfus adjusts his footing when Amroth gets back on the saddle, so as not to be crowded out of a perfectly good roost by his master's belt buckle. ( Belt buckle? So he *does* wear pants. ) (And he couldn't have picked a better pair of wings, at that. *preens celestially*) (I told you that I wear pants!) (See, even Hyfus agrees.) (Ok so we look for work and monsters to smash yay.) * Tavi draws Ziegfried up outside the entrance to the adventurers guild and dismounts. "Stay, Ziegfried. I shan't be long. Get yourself some water, if you like." * Tavi enters the guild boldly! (Taking care of two channels. Please be gentle. ^^;) ( It's Tavi. *pimpmusic* ) * Amroth dismounts Luthien, and ties him to the thing where you tie horses. (It's ok.) ( A hitch, Ammy-chan. :P ) (I always called it post-thing. Whatever works.) (I've never heard it called a hitch...) (Bah, just pop the kickstand and it'll be fine.) (sure...I like what I called it.) ( The full name is the hitching post. ) (ahh...sounds good.) (kickstand) * Amroth realizes that the thing you tie a horse to is called a hitching post. * Kerek gives Horse a hearty pat on the neck and also ties him down. After this process he enters the guild. * Amroth follows into the guild. * Amroth looks around. (and what do I see?) (A whole lotta people all lookin at me.) (They must be really hungry.) (desperate.) [The guild is not particularly busy given its size. About five other people are inside, not including the people normally there. There is a board with various jobs posted to the side, as well as someone manning the counter. The other five people are talking with eachother and are agreeing to a job they recently accepted.] * Kerek heads over to the counter for a job. * Amroth walks up to the wall and...(Can I read these? Language?) * Tavi leans against a wall and watches this silly pair. (They're mostly in common, although there are some in Elven as well.] (cool.) * Amroth ...reads the papers, and looks for a job that peeks his interest. * Kerek waits until the man is done speaking and asks... (what kinds of jobs do I see?) Hello kind sir! I am Kerek of Todachi Temple. And over there is my companion Amroth. We are in search of noble adventures that we may embark on. Can you help us in our search? * Tavi snickers madly. (you assume that he is kind.) (/me kicks the wall.) (Well, I had to kick something.) [First of all, most of the jobs look either taken, or obsolete. Not many people seem to pay attention to the boards, apparently.] (is there a second, or do I need to go talk to the guy?) Oh yes, and the halfing there is my close friend Tavi. * The guy behind the counter laughs after you say that. "You're from where? Ah, it doesn't matter. Noble adventures are hard to come by nowadays, most of it is just 'kill this' or 'stop that' or something equally stupid. " <'Kind Sir'> But you're looking for a job, right? Well, I might have a few things that might be up your alley... * He starts rummaging through scrolls that are fairly scattered behind him. * Amroth turns and walks over to Kerek. Hello, I'm Amroth. (/me wonders why Amroth is introducing him to Kerek now when they've been traveling together for ten days.) (to "Kind Sir") (D'uh!) * Amroth turns his head to look over at Tavi. * The other party nods and leaves the guild. If you didn't catch a glimpse of them earlier, they were composed of two humans (One of each gender), a female elf, a male gnome, and a dwarf that you couldn't tell the gender of. The more significant the "job" the better sir. (nice touch with the dwarf...) Yes, I really need the work. * The 'kind sir' gets up from behind the desk with a bunch of papers. "Okay, significant? Someone needs a dragon slayed. You up for it?" * Tavi rolls his eyes. (female elf, eh? was she pretty?) (You know it.) (/me stars at her until she leaves.) (Is there a princess involved?) (tROGDOR!) ( ...no. NONONO. ) Any more details before we can accept this contract? (/me turns and follows the female elf out the door.) <'Kind Sir'> Let's see... By accounts the it's red, really old, and enjoys making fun of its prey before she bites their heads off. *He looks at Kerek and Amroth with eyes expecting eyes.* (Err, Scratch the first eyes.) * Kerek turns back at Amroth and Tavi: "You guys interested in it?" (*coughs*) * The man behind the counter cracks up when Kerek starts to consider it. * "Hah! I love pulling that one!" * Tavi snickers. So, do you have anything real? Kid... do you _really_ think you could take a dragon? (did you know it says gullible on the ceiling?) <'Kind Sir'> Okay, really? Yeah, we have a pair of jobs that just came in. That group that just left took the last convoy guard of the day, so all the easy jobs are gone. (I'm with them...specifically, the female elf.) (Wait, so you actually followed them out? :P) (in (), I did.) (My mind did.) ( *rolls eyes* ) ( *rolls dice* ) (*rolls ice*) ( *rolls craps* ) <'Kind Sir'> But each of these jobs require a bit of work, and both involve the church. One was brought to our attention by some guy named Arth... some sort of paladin. The other one came by word of mouth, handed down from someone pretty high up in the clergy. *scribbles down some info* Here's the address and the contact for both of the jobs. I'm not sure about either of these, but one of them is bound to be good. So, what are our options? Thank you. If you're so inclined, I bet there are a few other people looking for help, but I don't know how you'd feel about finding pets or moving boxes, if you know what I mean. (The guildkeeper said that.) * Amroth takes the note. I'm not too fond of moving boxes. Well Alcinoe was into the Church maybe she can give us better info. Is it the same church? I don't know where Alcinoe went. Maybe you should read the note, boys. * Amroth reads the note . [Each of the pieces of paper tell of the address of the Church of Heironeous. They also tell not to speak to anyone of the job. Why do people have to be so damn secretive?] OK, we they both talk about the church of Heironeous. The notes also say that we shouldn't speak to anyone else about these jobs. [One says to contact Arth the Paladin, and the other tells to contact the person on top of the temple, Elin Palesis] (Figuratively, not litterally... unless you actually want to get to the top. :P) (mario jump.) (right, Kerek?) (ya) Ok then. Where to? How do we get there? (You're the one holding the note. XD) (does it have directions?) (I thought it only had an address.) (Nope. Good luck nagivating the streets. :P) * Amroth turns, and walks out the door. (/me walks into the door because noone opened it.) (I'm not going to make you open the door... now if it were an elevator, then yes, I would. :P) * Tavi follows the silly elf out the door, looking thoroughly amused. "Ziegfried, come!" * Amroth unties Luthien. * Amroth mounts Luthien, and rides down the street. (and the directions are?) * Kerek follows our group out and mounts his Horse. * Hyfus glides above the street some distance behind his master, flapping his wings once in a while to maintain elevation. * Tavi mounts up and follows at some distance behind the boys. ( If they do something unbelievably stupid, I can pretend not to know them.) ( "If they do anything else unbelievably stupid" :P ) * Kerek follows Amroth to wherever he may go. * Amroth goes wherever the directions say to. *** Capfox is on IRC (Well, yes. Something being in THE FUTURE!) ( THE FUTURE! ) [The sun is starting to wane. According to our standards, it's about 5:00 PM. The vendors are beginning to pack up shop and go home. And now you get to try and navigate! The address for the church is the corner of 18th and Main.] * Amroth arrives at the church of Heironeous. (No, you don't. Do you head north or south? (Finding out where you are might be a good idea.)) (I followed the directions.) * Amroth scratches his head. I don't think that this is the place. Follow the map. * " " * I think we made a wrong turn. (There is no map.) * Amroth holds out the paper for Kerek. Here, follow the directions. (D'oh) (Keep forgetting the quotes.) Hrm. * Kerek decides to head toward the church. * Kerek this way! (DOh....) * Amroth follows Kerek. (Are we there, yet? Are we there, yet? Are we there, yet? Are we there, yet? Are we there, yet? ) (just kidding.) * Tavi snickers as he follows these two schmucks. (/me snickers as he smacks the hell out of Tavi.) * Tavi eventually takes pity on the two and rides closer. "Lesson number two of adventuring. If you're lost, ask directions." (Just FYI. All that's on the notes is what I told you. There are NO MAPS on them.) (Ah.) * Kerek hands the note to Tavi. "Here." * Tavi holds up his hands. "No way, kiddo." Follow the directions. (There aren't any directions. >.>) (Yes, there are.) (I was told that there are.) (Just an address. Address != directions.) Ok lets ask some people. (Riddle me this. If you just got into a town, whould you have the slightest idea of where anything is?) (to recap... (does it have directions?) (I thought it only had an address.) (Nope. Good luck nagivating the streets. :P) ) (was that nope meaning no directions?) * Kerek looks for someone to ask directions. (or, nope, it had more than an address.) (Nope, it doesn't have directions.) (ok, now I see what's going on.) (Looking for any kind of person in particular or just someone?) (someone who looks knowledgeable in directions.) (Yes, that.) [The kids playing in the street don't really count to that goal, but the mother that's trying to round them up does.] * Amroth rides over to the mother-looking person, and stops. "Excuse me, but can you give us some directions?" ( /me smacks Amroth with her shoe.) ("No. Go away.") (you go away) I don't get out much, but I guess I can help. What are you looking for? (I just got some random message from one of my messangers...and it was some guy I don't know...and he wants my screen name...wierd...) (I'd ignore him.) We are in search of the church of Heironeous. (I would too.) Do you know where it is? ( give him a minute. Or three. ) Oh, the church! Um, go that way a few blo- Timmy! How many times do I have to tell you not to pick your nose! Anyways, a few blocks that way and it is on your left. You can't miss it. *She runs off after who you guess would be Timmy* Alright progress! * Amroth yells. "Thank you." * Amroth goes in the direction the woman pointed. [The woman doesn't notice you. Too busy taking care'o'the kids.] *** Luthien (Petrafan1@12.248.255.73) has joined #aeoth ( Meanwhile, Timmy falls in a well. But Lassie saves him. ) (James. NO MORE NPC'S.) * Luthien rides fast. *** Luthien (Petrafan1@12.248.255.73) has left #aeoth (sorry, had to...) (If you want to say that, just mount Luthien, then say you ride him fast or something.) (ha.) (hey, it had to be done...) * Kerek follows Amroth.) * Amroth sees the church. * Kerek ditches his horse. (what does it look like? run down, big, small, impressive?) [You approach the church. (Hold on)] * Kerek will now walk as he is a very fast monk. (you are going to pay for that horse, aren't you?) (Actually...) [The temple is not even close to the standards as it was in Oriel, but is still sizable. There are a few that are in the main center of the temple at this time.] (And yes, he will have to because he still has it. :P) * Kerek tries to sell his horse to a local merchant for some $$$. (please rephrase the last sentance. Don't understand.) * Tavi follows Amroth, thoroughly amused at the antics of these two. (I'll take care of it.) (You still have the horse, and don't try to sell it, okay?) (ok.) (Er, you're renting the horse, Kerek. If you try to sell it... let's not go there.) (Exactly.) (Can I rent a Corvette?) ( Wow, that's a plan worthy of ME! ) ( You dastardly monk, you. ) ( Keep that up, and you won't be a monk much longer. :P ) (Ok back to game.) (yes.) (I would give the money I made back to the renter.) (Of course.) (Er... it doesn't work that way, Joe. ^^;;;) (You don't rent a car, sell it, and then give the money you got for selling it back to the rental company. ;P) (Is anyone going to enter the temple? Or are you all just standing there?) (I'm happy in just standing here.) (just kidding.) (Hyfus wants me to rent the Vette.) * Amroth enters the temple. * Amroth looks around. (what do I see?) *** Arth (Zegon@12-213-43-67.client.attbi.com) has joined #Aeoth (Wait 'till everyone is in here.) (Do I know what Arth looks like?) (Oh, wait. Right.) (I'll get to it!) * Kerek enters the mighty temple. [The inside is well-furnished, and there are two priests standing back as Alcinoe and Kardos are talking to a somewhat larger man. He possesses blonde hair and slightly yellow eyes, as well as a certin grace about him. His longsword is strapped to his back, as is a large steel shield. He continues to talk as you enter.] * Arth shakes his head. "None that we could find." * Tavi dismounts Ziegfried and leaves him outside to take care of himself, and goes inside. * Amroth walks up to the the group with Alcinoe, Kardos, and the currently unknown person. Hrm. * Kerek heads toward familiar faces and greets happily. * Hyfus swoops down through the door, when it's open, and then flaps his wings rapidly as he comes to land on the nearest perch. Excuse me, but would you happen to know someone named Arth? * Alcinoe looks at the newcomers, then sighs quietly. * Tavi grins and waves at Alcinoe. Oh, hello, Alcinoe. * Kardos blinks, turns, sees the newcomers, and blinks again. He then makes a miserable little almost-noise. * Alcinoe can feel a headache coming on already. * Arth looks at Amroth. He speaks in elvish * Amroth left Luthien outside tied to the post. (And yes, he is human) * Tavi laughs happily. So happy to see me? * Hyfus sets about cleaning his feathers. It is very important to have clean feathers. (Of course? How else do you pick up chicks?) ( Shineys. ) ( Chicks dig shineys. ) * Kerek listens for information pertaining to the soon-to-be quest. (True.) *** JesseLman (je34@syr-24-59-102-81.twcny.rr.com) has joined #Aeoth * Alcinoe speaks with a small level of dread in her voice, "You seem to be happy to see me." * Amroth answers Arth in elvish * Arth looks at them. He closes his eyes, takes a deep breath, then opens them again. * Amroth turns to kerek, and speaks in elvish Realizing that Kerek doesn't speak elvish. "Oh, I mean, This is Arth." * Alcinoe shifts her gaze to Arth. Fortunately for him, the How-Could-You-Do-This-To-Me look vanishes after a bit. Hello Arth, I am Kerek of Todachi Temple. ( Do you speak elvish?) (I hope not...) * Arth looks at Alcinoe and motions for her to come closer. He whispers in her ear... ( "And I am Galstaff, Sorcerer of Light!" ) ( Are not. ) * Kerek realizing that Arth will not know what he says, sweats in embarassment. ( ...if anybody tries to magic missile the darkness, Jesse dies. ) * Kardos frowns more as Alci is pulled aside, and fidgets some. * Alcinoe hrms, then murmurs back to him. * Tavi ambles over to Kardos. "You shoulda come with me. I made some money AND had some great laughs. Those two are priceless." (is the name of the language common? like elvish, and common?) ( * Hyfus magic missiles Jesse. ) (Yes.) ( Oh wait. I can't. I haven't got hands. ) * Amroth turns back to Arth. * Arth murmers back to Alcinoe. (Kerek, do you speak elvish.) * Kardos seems about to say something to Amroth, but then turns to Tavi. "They are? How so?" (That's OOC info, Amroth. ;P) No, this little one is the wierd one. (huh?) * Alcinoe winces, then says something quickly before nodding. (no.) * Arth turns back to the group. He speaks with a light elvish accent in common. "Oh, I'm sorry to hear your friend doesn't speak Elvish. Such a beautiful tounge." (good, now I dont feel bad for telling him you don't.) I agree. (See, you don't ask someone what languages they speak OOC. ^^;) (ah...I was just covering my tracks...) Perhaps we can teach him, some time. (Cause I said he didn't...) Yes, but to more pressing issues now. * Arth smiles. "Given time. If only... But in any case, you're here for the job, right?" Yes You do realize that it is not a simple task, nor should it be taken lightly. As well, it will probably not be safe for all of you, and death is a very real possibility. Are you still interested? What exactly would we be doing? Please. These two were seriously considering going dragon hunting. * Alcinoe facepalms. (/me turns, walks out, and gets a job as a delivery boy. Yipee!) (facepalms?) * Arth smirks, then mutters something into Alcinoe's ear in Elvish. (Face. In palm.) (did I catch that?) (gotcha...) * Alcinoe twitches her ear as he does so, then snickers. Okay. And about you halfling? Well, I guess he's with us. * Arth looks at Amroth. Me? That depends on the reward. I'm a treasure hunter, not a do-gooder. * Kardos rubs his face. It's gonna be one of those special headache days. * Alcinoe lets the snicker fade away, then nods as Tavi says that. * Amroth responds. This quest shall augment my powers. Count me in. A reward will be provided based off of how well you do and how quickly you complete the task, of course. We normally do not hand out rewards, but if you need the incentive we shall. * Alcinoe eyes Kerek for a moment. * Arth raises an eyebrow, then chuckles. * Kardos blinks. That's good enough for me! Works for me. So, then, you shall be... aiding, us in our endeavor? * Arth nods. "Very well." * Amroth nods in agreement. * Kerek nods. * Kardos sends Alcinoe a miserable look that seems to ask, "We're gonna die, aren't we?". * Alcinoe returns Kardos' look, which is a definite, "Yes, we are." * Arth turns to Kardos. "Yes, they shall. I will fill you in as to the details tomorrow morning, as the hour is getting late, and I have other matters to attend to." * Kardos sighs in a way that seems to say, "And me without any next of kin." (man, you guys have a lot of expressions that say quite a bit...they do say, a picture is worth a thousand words...) * Alcinoe looks to Arth and nods. "We'll return then." * Kerek has a stern yet confident look on his face as he contemplates the struggles and hardships that may arise on this journey, then gives the smallest grin of satisfaction. So, where shall we sleep tonight? (Conclusion: Kerek has issues.) (Monkie issues.) I don't care, so long as I'm not in *her* bed. * Arth smiles back at Alcinoe, and nods to the rest of the group. "I'll meet you here in the morn. Until then." (Kerek, you have a very detailed look on your face.) That awakening was a bit too loud for my tastes, thank you very much. ( Kerek must like pain. Maybe he's Saiyan. ) Goodnight. (Mwuahaha yea.) * Arth walks off, grabbing a quarterstaff as he exits the temple. * Kardos bows again to Arth. "Good day, m'lord." ( A paladin with a quarterstaff? Dun dun dun! ) (He didn't hear that, did he?) (Nope.) (dang.) (The temple is free.) (is that ok?) Ta, people. I'll see you tomorrow. I've got people to see, things to do. (No, probably not.) (I'm down with that.) * Alcinoe watches Arth grab the quarterstaff, snickers, and starts walking for the door. "Other matters," she mutters, before looking back at the others. "If ya want, you can come with me to the inn we're stayin' at." (D'oh) I shall withdraw for now. (Tell me when you're ready for session end.) I will sleep on the streets for tongiht. Is it expensive? * Alcinoe eyes Kerek for a moment. "An' be woken by a guard, 'm sure." (Normal inn pricing Ard.) I have little money. No problem! Hrm, perhaps on a rooftop. * Kardos blinks at Kerek. And it's not. Come with or don't. I can make you a loan, at very reasonable rates! (Oh, we have a banker!) * Tavi grins like a shark. * Alcinoe hears Tavi, laughs, and walks on out. *** Arth (Zegon@12-213-43-67.client.attbi.com) Quit (Quit: Blargh! I am dead!) * Kerek decides he lost the arguement and decides to go to the inn. * Amroth walks out and unties Luthien. * Kardos actually snickers at Tavi's remark. Just follow me, my boy. I'll make sure you have enough for the night. * Kardos follows Alcinoe on out after bidding good-night to the other three weirdos. * Tavi walks out of the temple and mounts Ziegfried. * Amroth mounts Luthien, and follows Alcinoe. * Alcinoe walks (yes, walks) back to the inn. No quick riding for you if you don't want to get lost. * Hyfus vaults from his perch and flies out of the door, again while it's open. * Kardos walks, too. Horses? We don't need no steenking horses. (You still have it though.) * Kerek follows along. So, what are the room rates? ( True, but it's not really needed. Not while we've got a Barbarian with the Run feat. ^.~ ) Two gold an' five silver, 'bout. Ok, thanks. (I'll charge it to my card.) Alright I can afford that, shall we head off then?' * Alcinoe eyes Kerek. Where do ya think we're goin'? The inn? That's where I plan on going. Give the poor boy a break, I think his thinkbox is still a bit muddled from all the meditation. [And everyone went to the Swimming Dwarf and had a good time until the next session in which they will all probably die. End session! (See me about mini-sessions)] I'm tired. -> *nickserv* identify whatfour *** Tavi is now known as NinjaDebugger * NinjaDebugger giggles. So, how was it?

It's James' (Amroth's) first game ever. And Joe's second. His first one was Planeteers, which was a... very different setting. He fell off the world so many times. ^^; They're learning. Yeah, they are. * Kardos snickers. * NinjaDebugger cracks up. "Everybody suit up! We're off to the most romantic city on earth!" Welcome to Milwaukee, birthplace of Beer Goggles! Ha! * Kardos cracks up, which leads to a fit of coughing. * NinjaDebugger cracks up again. In order for me to get busy with maximum efficiency, I need a gal with a four hundred ton booty! * Zegon cracks up. Oh, this episode is so, so wrong. It's Emeril! o o_O Bender was having dinner in a restaraunt with a couple of ladies, and the chef walks up, looking disburbingly like Emeril. He says something to the tune of "Enjoy your dinner, Bender, and may I say to your two ladies, 'Bam!'" * Zegon chuckles.

Away. He's not going to make it today. So... you guys are just gonna get exp without him. ok Hey, ND. Ya here? *** Zegon sets mode: +oo Dicesuke NinjaDebugger ND, Yu, care to get IC? *** Yu-Mei is now known as Kardos Okay, gotta focus on the game at hand... Focus your GM's Chi.

The halfling what steals things. Okay. *** NinjaDebugger is now known as Tavi And sometimes doesn't, but that's pretty rare. Okay. Oooooohhhhhhmmmmmm..... -_- You guys aren't going to let me steal. ;_; Let's see, where did you guys leave off... Not from me. No, we'll let you steal from villains. And I'm not gonna keep you from stealing. The villagers might, but I won't. Alright. Gamage. Right. * Tavi steals Kardos' socks without removing his boots. * Zegon snickers. "You can't imagine the penalties I gave him to pull that stunt off." ^_^_v Oh, and how are you working room arrangements? There are ten rooms in the inn. * Tavi gets his own room! Unless Alcinoe wants to room together, of course. :P * Kardos is impressed. * Amroth is on budget. Oh, and there's one to two beds to a room, depending on which one you take. Of course, the ones with two beds cost more. Trying to remember. I think Alci was gonna share with Kardos, which means he probably ended up sleeping in the hall outside. That sounds about right. I'm just letting you decide. It's not that big of a deal, though. How much for a single room? How much for a double? That will make me decide. 2.5 for a single, 3.5 for a double. Cheepskate. yes * Tavi deducts the cost of a single from his fundage. * Amroth ponders sharing a room with Kerek to save money. You can if you want. I'm sure he wouldn't mind. *** Retrieving #Aeoth info... * Kardos deducts half the cost of a double. * Zegon nods. * Alcinoe deducts half a double, too! So, what are you doing Amroth? what the heck was that. ? What the heck was what? * Amroth deducts 1.75 for the price of a double. it said unknown command. whatever. Alright, we've wasted enough time already. Who wants to play? ^_^ Not me. :P See, lookit what happens when you ask. * Amroth raises his hand. Well, I guess there's no session today then. o/~ * Kardos wants to play. * Amroth wants to play, too. Well Tavi doesn't. :P * Zegon starts typing intro stuff. QUIET ON THE SET! [When we left you, you had just recieved an assignment from Arth, and that was to follow up a lead as to the current plight of the plains. As to what that is, if you don't know you haven't been paying attention, so I'm not going to say it. :P He said he would meet you this morning at the temple. (Cont.)] [So, it's morning, and your in the hotel, and... yeah. Wake up. ^_^] [Session Start] (I guess I haven't been paying attention.) (Hextor, genius. ;P) (Thanks Ard.) * Alcinoe stretches and yawns, slowly starting to wake up. * Amroth opens his eyes, and blinks several times. It is very bright, and his vision is still blurry. * Kardos stretches and yawns, stands up off the floor of the hallway, and begins stretching and working the kriks out of his neck. (Hey, should I let Kerek sleep, then...?) * Kerek snoores loudly. Looks like someone was up a little late last night. o/~ * Tavi wakes up merry and gets breakfast cheerfully. ^_^ (nice.) (It's up to you as to if you want to or not.) * Alcinoe gets dressed and brushes her hair (so now it's curly instead of unruly curly), grabs her stuff, and exits. She almost trips over Kardos. "Mornin'." Good morning, m'lady. I hope you slept well? * Hyfus flies in thru the open window. He has a rat in his left talon. * Amroth gets up, and looks around the room trying to figure out what that noise is. Yeah. You didn't hafta sleep out here, y'know? (? -> .) * Hyfus starts eating the rattage. * Amroth looks around and sees Kerek sleeping(snoring) in the second bed. * Kardos fidgets. "Er, perhaps not. A moment, please?" He ducks into the room, where his stuff still is, and comes out amoment later dressed and freshened up. [Hearing checks, please.] (Well, technically, listen. But we won't go there. :P) d20+5 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Alcinoe (d20+5) and gets 6. (Ooh, that sucked!) (And that's from everyone, mind.) (I can't hear a thing. I'm deaf...oh, my charactor.) d20+7 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kardos (d20+7) and gets 11. ( ...Dice hates us. I demand a reroll! ) d20-1 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Tavi (d20-1) and gets 7. d20+6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Hyfus (d20+6) and gets 14. d20+5 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Amroth (d20+5) and gets 13. (dang bird beat me.) [You don't hear anything other than what you'd expect. Which is people eating, drinking, and talking downstairs.] ( Beat me too. And I had the higher rollmod. ;.; ) * Alcinoe goes downstairs for breakfast. Mmm, breakfast. ( Dice is full of hate, today. ) * Amroth quietly gets dressed, and packs his belongings. * Kardos heads down, too, yawning and continuing to work cricks out of his body. Hey, you try sleeping on hardwood floors sometime. * Amroth heads downstairs for breakfeast. * Alcinoe has a seat, smiling cheerily at her *favorite* elven innkeeper. (I'm an innkeeper?) (Nope. So it's not at you!) * Kardos has a seat, too, seeming largely oblivious to everyone's faveorite elven bigo, er, innkeeper. * Amroth finds an open seat and sits down. [The inn is well lit durring the morning, as the sun shines thru the numerous windows and doors. There's about a dozen tables, each of which can seat about eight people. The atmosphere is not as busy as you might expect, despite there being more than thirty people in the room.] * Tavi is already sitting at a table, happily munching on a small breakfast. [Outside, a pair of people are playing some sort of local sport, which involves the two players using quarterstaffs to do you don't know what. It looks like a combination of fighting and dance, just neither with much style.] [The innkeeper narrows his eyes at Alcinoe as she comes down.] * Alcinoe eats, looking much happier after she gets some food in her. (Keep in mind, the innkeeper is an elf.) * Kardos frowns. Do they ever *stop* doing that? * Alcinoe beams at the innkeeper. * The innkeeper simply returns to doing his paperwork. If you could read minds, would he have some interesting things for you to read, but, you can't. (hmm...a hint?) * Kardos sits and waits to be served. (That's up to you to decide.) (I can read Hyfus's mind.) (Really, I can.) * Hyfus perches on Amroth's seat. (So, is someone going to serve me?) (Hold on, okay?) (seat? He'd be crushed.) ( Be patient. ;P ) (sholder.) (No, chair. Now let me type.) (I'm going to Denny's.) * One of the many servers comes by and places a plate of food in front of each of the 'adventurers.' And I use that term very liberally. * Kardos blinks and looks at what he's been served - without asking! First one comes with the room. Anything extra will cost ya. (man or woman server?) * The food consists of mostly grains and some corn. There's some ham there too, but not much. And, oddly enough, it's a male server this time. Thank you, sir. Er, thank you, sir. (I was almost going to assume.) * Kardos eats. Skimping on meat. That's just not right. Nothing wrong with not eating much meat. (If it's not stated or out of place, a person is male, average height, human, and with blue/brown eyes with brown/blonde hair.) I find that meat makes people overly violent, and more violence is certainly not something that you fellows need more of. * The server nods. "Pleasure." He goes back to tending the bar. * Alcinoe snerks. * Kardos blinks. "But, the people of this town cannot seem to stop fighting. Perhaps it is because they all eat such insufficient meals?" Why ever would you think that they cannot stop fighting? * Kardos points to the windows. "Just outside this very inn, there are people trying to hit each other with sticks. Is that not considered fighting?" Of course it's considered fighting, except when it's not. But why would you think they can't stop? * Tavi reaches into a small pouch at his belt and withdraws a silver lunar. (FYI, even though I didn't post it, the currency is: Solars/Lunars/Commons, with Gold/Silver/Copper.) * Tavi flips it to the bartender. "For the wonderful breakfast." (And that's a pretty universal thing... it might be a bit different further north, though.) * the bartender catches it and smiles. "Thank you kind sir." * Tavi tips an imaginary hat to the bartender. * The bartender would probably awknolwedge it a little better, but... he's got a customer now. Ah well. ( Rules of Adventuring #3: Tip Generously. ) Because I have not seen them do so. It seems to be a popular passtime here. * Kardos continues eating despite his objections, mind. I didn't notice a significant number of people beating each other with sticks yesterday. (Very good advice.) Perhaps this is some sort of festival of long sticks? Seems like a pastime here. (hey, are there only single pieces, or are there other pieces, like pennies, nickles, dimes, etc...?) (Only coinage.) (In other words, what you got.) * Amroth ignores the conversation about the fighting. (like, they have pennies, but no nickles...) * Kardos frowns, seeming unconvinced, and finishes eating. ( Speaking of food... ) * Alcinoe finishes, too. She stands and leaves a modest tip for the waiter before looking to Amroth. "Where's your friend?" Well, I found him sleeping in the room, snoring very loud. I think he was up late last night, so I let him sleep. * Tavi snickers a little. * Alcinoe shakes her head. "Right." * Amroth gets up after finnishing his meal, and leaves 5 silver pieces for the waiter. ( BRB. ^^; *dashes* ) (Aww, no.) ( Now THAT is a tip. ) (Hey, I'm generous.) (Alright, we're gonna pause while Yu eats. And that's a REALLY BIG tip.) (Hey, my parents own a place, and I know how hard elves have to work in a restaurant.) ( Okay. Someone IM me when we're unpaused, I'm gonna play Shadows Over Mystara. ) (Alright.) (am I right, Zegon?) (You're right, but 5 silver is still a huge amount. It's more than you paid for your meal. ^^;) * Amroth looks back, and realizes that he left 5 silver, and that he only meant to leave 2, so he picks up the other 3. (is that better? Still very generous.) (Yeah, whatever.) (yeah, whatever, or yes?) (Yeah, whatever. :P) (is it too much? Should I only leave 1?) (That's up to you.)] ( Okay, that's enough of the quarterbuster. ) ( Or not. ) (boring.) (Well, there's not much we can do when someone's not here.) (can I kill his charactor? just for fun? Please?) ( No. ) (It's spelled character. And no.) ( Not unless you have some ingame beef, and then only when he's here. ) (See, I can do that because I'm the GM. But you can't. ~_^) (mmm...beef...) ( That's IT! I know what GTA needs! ) ( It's PERFECT! ) ( GTA needs a mission where you get a Big Robot Dinosaur! ) (... IT IS PERFECT!) (Ooh!) (But you can't call it godzilla, because that would be copyright infringment, even though it looks like Godzilla, but really isn't.) (*Amroth throws a grenade at Yu, and hits him good.) (Amroth has wimpy elf-arms, so it lands right in his face.) ( *pointlaugh* ) (*Amroth blows up good.) ( Back. x_x ) (Great! What were we doing again?) (I blowed myself up!) ( We were going nowhere fast. ) ( We were headed out the door, I think. ) (You guys finally ready?) (Sure. ^^) (... I think Dad just got home. ^^;) (right...) (Anyways. Unpause!) ( x_x ) (Well, ya gonna leave the fine eating establishment? ^_^) * Tavi walks out the door of the fine inn and calls out, "Come, Ziegfried!" * Kardos stands. "Well. Shall we depart?" * Alcinoe nods. She looks up towards the quarters, then gets moving. I'm ready to leave. * True to form, the big slobbering war-dog comes when Tavi calls his name. I'm ready. * Amroth heads out the door. * Kardos follows Alcinoe, also true to form. * Hyfus flies thru the door and follows Amroth. (Tavi gets a dog following him, and so do I! After a fashion, anyhow.) * Tavi mounts up. ( Hah! ) [The streets are relatively clear. Two men are playing that popular stick-sport on the left. A small ring of people are around them, so it's difficult to figure out what they're doing. Are you guys going to the temple? (Y)es or (N)o?] ( ...that was cruel, m'lady. ;_; ) ( Y ) ( M ) ( Y ) (er, I'm following the crowd, so Y) (Temple time!) (/me sighs. It's food time for us now. Dad has some of the worst timing, ya know?) (Food. Being yelled at.) ( Yes. ) (Don't parents always.) ( Go eat. ^^; ) (We'll be quick... Maybe 15 minutes.) (Eat, it's good for you.) ( ...hah! ) (Back. ^_^) ( Ard's still doing dishes? ) (Yup. She'll be done in about a minute though. I'd just get in the way. ^^;) (So, you guys ready?) (Just start riding/walking/whatever to the temple when you are.) * Alcinoe is walking to the temple! ( XD ) (^_^) * Kardos is walking to the temple as well! (And yes, Kevin would get in the way. I'd probably hit him with the wok or something.)

( Thanks. Are we there yet? ) (No, because two of the people haven't started walking yet.) * Kardos continues walking. Ta heck with the slowpokes. (And if they don't, they'll just get left behind. o/~) ( Hah. ) * Hyfus pecks Amroth on the head. * Tavi kicks Ziegfried in the direction of the temple. (Sorry, I'm back.) ( 'Salright. I think. ) Stop it! ('sokay. Just start going already. ^_^) * Amroth runs to catch up with the others. [And you guys walk... and you're walking... and your walking... and your walking... and you come across the temple. Isn't that nice?] (You're!) (wow, that was a good walk) [So, now what?] * Alcinoe goes in! (This is the temple that you are looking for.) (Really now. :P) * Amroth follows, I guess. (No, not really. But we'll pretend it is anyways. :P) (Shh.) * Kardos goes in as well! [Inside the temple is... heck, if you want a description, just look at the previous log. Anyways, Arth is there, and there is one priest tending the temple.] * Amroth walks up to Arth. "Hello." I guess, I mean, Good morning. *** Arth (Zegon@12-213-43-67.client.attbi.com) has joined #Aeoth * Kardos sticks to Alcinoe's side, this time. Hello again, priestly patron. * Alcinoe nods to Arth. "Good morning." * Arth turns around to see you. "Ah, hello. You had a good night sleep?" I had a perfectly wonderful night. * Alcinoe eyes Tavi for a moment before responding, "Yes, thank you." I'm not so certain about all of my companions, though the good elf here seems rather more chipper than the last time we woke up together. I slept very well. * Alcinoe ponders strangling Tavi. Really now, she'd be doing the world a favor. * Arth glances over at Amroth. "You slept with him?" * Alcinoe laughs. * Tavi laughs! No! The other elf, o priest. Or is she only half an elf? * Kardos blinks, not quite catching it. This is, no doubt, for the better. I'm afraid I'm not entirely certain, it's often difficult to tell. (and you're only half a man...) * Arth chuckles. "Oh? She's not a full-elf, no. I'd say she's the legacy of an elf and a human. And quite honestly, I don't see anything wrong with it." *** RDMgryphon is on IRC Nothing wrong with that, of course. She's more than enough woman. ^_^ * Tavi keeps an eye on Alcinoe so he knows when to run. * Kardos does his impression of a ruby. Though _I_ wasn't the one sleeping with her last night. * Arth smiles. "Oh? Don't tell me she's interested in someone else." * Alcinoe clenches a fist and eyes Tavi, then says in a strained voice, "You're the one who crawled into *my* bed." Hey, far be it from me to restrain a free spirit. I restrain noone and I accept no restraints. *** Zegon sets mode: +o Kardos Ermyeswell, uhm, sh-shall we attend to the b-buisness at, erm, at hand? * Alcinoe rolls her eyes. I would advise against doing that to one of Heronious's priests in the future. Yes, your mission. Of course. (I know I spelled that wrong.) (I'll fix it later. ;P) * Arth clears his throat and looks around suspiciously. He motions to the priest in the room, and he starts doing his priest-things elsewhere. Yes. The mission. * Alcinoe watches the priest hurry off, then turns her attention back to Arth. * Arth pulls out a map of the city. It's not hand-drawn... must be one of the new printing-press things. "We have heard multiple reports from our believers that the cult's base of operations is lying somewhere in this quadrant of the city. Using a number of other meathods, we found that the center of the spread is right here." He points his finger on an 'X' on the map. (If anyone cares, the X is in blue ink.) * Alcinoe hmms and nods. * Kardos waits for the description of the mission. The mission, since it is not an interpersonal relationship, is good. * Kardos nods. * Arth looks around for confirmation from the other two members of the group. (Blue, man, I wanted red.) * Amroth nods. "OK" * Kardos nods. He seems to be studying the map in general. (Sorry, they were out of red ink.) (use blood. maps drawn in blood tend to mean more.) Now, you're not the first group we've sent to investigate this, but you're the first who is going to find out exactly what's going on here. Many of the others we sent either returned empty-handed, or not at all. That is unfortunate, sir. Terrible. Absolutely terrible. Dangerous job, adventuring. * Alcinoe frowns. "What is that area supposedly used for?" * Arth clears his throat. "Yes, well, it is a very dangerous situation right now as well. This sector over here is called the market sector, for obvious reasons. The bordering one, which is also encompassed by the spread, is where the upper-class resides." * Kardos frowns. * Tavi perks up. Sounds like a wonderful place. * Arth glances over at Tavi. "And we will not approve of any thievery. Got it?" * Kardos blinks, then allows himself a smirk. (Then again, who's gonna tell him? :P) Would _I_ do that? Yes. I'm hurt. * Tavi doesn't look particularly hurt. * Alcinoe doesn't look particularly hurt that Tavi's hurt. Any other questions about the mission? * Alcinoe runs a hand through her hair, then points at the X. "We go there, find out what's going on, maybe shut it down. Right?" Sounds good to me. Is there anything in particular you want as proof? The head of your enemies mounted on a pike? An unholy altar? * Kardos frowns. "I don't suppose there is anyone in the upper-class area who has been unusually suspicious of late?" *** Brett is on IRC *** Brett has left IRC *** Brett is on IRC ( Kardos has slain the chat. He doth gaineth 320 exp. ) (actually, I think that that's a loss of exp.) *** RDMgryphon has left IRC ( Nah. But it does shift his alignment 3 points towards evil. ) (Unless it was an EVIL cat!) Well, as for proof, any information you find to further the investigation would be appreciated. Also, if you manage to stop it, I wouldn't be surprised if their high-priest had an unholy-symbol. If you manage to bring it, it would be proof enough that you detained, if not destroyed the source. The upper-class always stays to themselves. That's reason enough to suspect them, don't you think? * Arth smirks. * Kardos blinks, then looks thoughtful. "A point, sir, yes." * Alcinoe shakes her head, studying the map some more. * The map shakes its head back at you. Take that! * No, not really. ( The map is really a doppleganger! Kill it! ) (I already died of a grenade explosion.) (Yeah, because you tried to use your whimpy girly-elf arms to throw it.) ( Yeah. Stupid elves! Ha! ) (He's got a point.) * Amroth nods, "Those upper class people are always suspicious." [The map is highly detailed for one of its time. All the major roads are there, and in correct porportion as well.] (*Amroth attaches a grenade to the end of an arrow, and shoots it at Kardos. This time he won't miss, because elves may have small arms, but they can shoot arrows.) (Wow, nice map.) Hrm. All right then. Anything else you think we should know? (Is that what you are looking for?) (Nope, the arrow lands right after it leaves the bow, because you made it too heavy] ) (nope, my arrows fly straight.) (no matter the weight.) (Nope, it lands at your feet. And goes boom.) (I can't get blowed up by myself twice.) ( *Kardos would pointlaugh at Amroth, but he's not that energetic. ) * Arth hmmms... "Stay on your toes? Don't take any wooden commons?" He scratches his head. Yes. If any champions of Hextor offer me wooden commons, I'll be sure to refuse. * Kardos nods. "A sage policy, indeed." * Tavi rolls his eyes. If there's nothing else, I think we've got work to do, eh? I'm ready. * Arth nods, then looks around. * Kardos nods. "I am prepared." And, if, by work, you mean stealing, no. Yes, you do have work to do. May Heironeous guide your path. * Tavi rolls his eyes. ( I'm not a thief! I'm a treasure hunter! ) Really, people. I'm not a thief. Despite what that somewhat misguided warrior seemed to think he saw. And... I couldn't help but notice. Where's your companion? Who, Kerek? He was up late last night. I decided to let him continue snoring. The poor boy must have discovered the wonders of a brothel. It's no wonder he's out. I doubt he'll awaken for several days. All those years meditating in a monastery with no women about. It's just not natural. Or two, or three. Surprising how those people can punch thru stone, and yet they get stoned after a couple drinks. Stoned? A bit of a heavy punishment for drunkenness, isn't it? * Kardos seems confused. I'll have to keep track of how many drinks I have in this town. (Mmm, idleness. Back.) Man, you people are terrible, a man stays up late, and you assume the worst. * Arth chuckles. "No, not stoned in that sense. Very drunk. I don't recall the last time we had an actual stoning in this city, mostly they burn, instead." Oh, I'm sure drunks burn quite well. ( But... but everybody must get stoned! ) I can see I'll have to be quite careful in this town. Halflings are exceptionally flammable, as you know. * Tavi turns around. "Ta, o great priest. Come along, people, come along." I was somehow not aware of that. Yes, well, I wish you luck. Especially theives. Good bye. * Alcinoe sighs as Tavi heads off. She gives Arth a short bow. "May Heironeous guide you." * Kardos bows. "Good day, m'lord. With Heironious' blessing, we shall return safely and with good news." * Arth bows as well. "May Heironeous keep you true." * Alcinoe heads off. * Kardos follows! (Sound like a good place to end?) * Amroth heads out. ( Nah. I'm good for a few more hours. XD ) ( I know you're always good for a few more hours. ;p) (sure, me too.) (My brain is like jelly, but this really isn't anything new.) (Well, the problem I run into is I don't have an OTA planned right now. ^^;) (yum.) (OTA?) (Obligitory Thug Attack.) ( OTA? ) (right...) ( Ah. ) ( Well, I suppose we could call it here. ;_; ) (But if you want to do a little detective work, you can do that. ;p) (and, we could go back to the hotel to pick up Kerek next week.) ( We could. And Zegon could hit us with an OTA at the beginning of next session. ) ( :P ) (Well, next session will be Kombat 101) ( Which means it makes perfect sense to have an OTA. ) (Aeoth Kombat!) ( (*starts MK muzak*) (ok.) ( Woo! ) (So, do you want to detective work, or go back to the inn, try to figure out what the hell people are doing with those QStaves, look for another job... what?) (Jelly brains!) ( ...I think Ard would like to quit here. ) (I think Ard wants to quit. What say you guys?) (Sure.) ( I'd go for detective work, but it's the sort of thing I gotta do alone, on account of y'all not being, y'know, halfling ninja. ) (OK.) ( I'm okay with it. ) (Yeah, there is a problem with that. I'm VERY NOT a halfling ninja.) *** RDMgryphon is on IRC (I ment detective work as in ask around and shit.) ( Kardos is kind of non-halfkingninja. ) ( Kardos is definitely not halfking. :P ) ( Halfling, either. *tongueyank* ) (Oh, and if anyone wants to see the colored pic of Alcinoe, it's on the site. XD) ( She's scary. ) (Wow, nice! What'd you use to do this?) [End Session... for now. GWARHARHARHARHAR!] ( Adobe Frodoshop, same as allways. ^_^ ) (I'll cleave you! Only I don't have that feat.

Well unless the family interventes. Lets assume 10:30 for now. Enough time to save the world. Ha. * Zegon cracks his knuckles and plans for the massive amount of destruction to befall his plot-heavy (read: non-existant) plans. So, it looks like you guys are ready. I'm gonna open up OpenRPG right now... You need to ask Mand to open it up. Wait which prog do I open? For open. Kerek: start.py OK now I need channel name/id/thingy. The server you need to connect to is w4jdh.net but it's not up yet. * Zegon nods. "Who runs it?" w4jdh.net:6774 Mand says it'll be up soon. * Zegon hmmms... "Okay." Until then, we can get started, right? .oO(I am sooooo screwed.) Well, I'll prolly have to go eat soon, but other than that, yeah. ;) AHHH! What? Oh, nothing... I think I found the server. It's up. yep * Zegon takes a deep breath. "Okay, let's get started so Yu can leave right after we do so so we can wait forever for him to get back!" yeah... Woo! * Zegon clears his throat. [Last time, on Aeoth. You guys got your assignment, talked to Arth, wondered why people were beating eachother up with sticks, and Kerek slept thru all the fun! (Man, he really got wasted last night. Not monkish at all... unless he's trying to be a drunken master) Anyways, you're now at the inn considering your next plan of attack, and how to wake Kerek up without him kicking your ass afterwards.] [Session, start and stuff!] * Kardos frowns, looking contemplative. (And Kerek/Amroth, please join the channel Aeoth.) (huh?) (On the OpenRPG server.) (I'm there...) I think that we should go back to the inn, and try to wake Kerek up. (... You're AT the inn.) (how?) ( READ, man. :P ) (Yeah, really. ;p) ( *points at the opening text.* ) (missed that part of the sentance...) * Kerek grumbles and tosses in his comfortable bed. (we walk fast...either that or slow, considering it took a week.) * Amroth walks upstairs to the room where Kerek is snoring. ( And dinner's on. Right on cute. -_-; ) * Amroth decides that since it is also his room, he will just walk in. ('sokay. They'll discuss stuff while Kardos takes a little snooze. If you're not back by the time they're done, I'll just pause or somethin') (* Kerek snores and sounds like a lumberjack cutting down a forest with a chainsaw.) (* Wonders if people are gonna do stuff...) (Huh? Oh, sorry. I'm distracted by this coding thing I sorta have to do.) ( JAVAJAVAJAVAJAVA ) (KILLJAVA) (YES, Java. What the hell am I even doing here?) ( No idea. ) (Ah yes monk meditation sleep. Almost mistaken as comatose. Amroth?) * Tavi yawns a little as he waits for the silly monkey. * Amroth decides not to wake Kerek with a lound noise, because he might have a headache. Hangovers must suck. * Amroth ponders using cold water. Water is good for you. (* ponders canceling session. Stupid Java and its stupid coding...) (I'm so sorry about this. Does my character *have* to be there?) (She's kinda maybe sorta the leader in all this. Why wouldn't she be there?) ( ^_^; ) * Amroth leans over and pokes Kerek in the shoulder. (Because now my HEAD IS EXPLODING. Also, remind me not to discuss politics.) (If it's too much for you, I will cancel the session.) (Exploding head, sounds like fun.) (I don't *want* you to cancel the session.) ( Hey Ard, don't talk about politics. ) * Hyfus flies in and perches on Amroth's shoulder (Schoolwork takes precidence over this, and your character is one of the more story-reffic ones right now... If they want to, they could do a little detective work or something, but chances are you should be there if they actually go after anything.) * Amroth speaks to Kerek in a soft voice so as not to make Kerek's headache any worse. "Hey, wake up." (I... think I'm gonna opt out. Sorry. Java.) (Alright. I understand.) * Kerek shows no response. * Amroth pokes Kerek in the shoulder again. This time a little harder. "Wake up, time." (So, instead of what I was semi-notreallyplanning on happening happening, we'll instead run a mini-typebutnotreally session. Pretty much, try and figure out where the heck to go next. ;p) ( I can't even remember what we're supposed to be doing. ) (The logs are posted. Um. You guys can walk outside and be jumped by evil cultists. :P) (me either, but that's ok...it will take a while to wake Kerek.) ( Oooh, evil cultists. ) (does Kerek respond this time.) * Tavi walks up the stairs, grumbling loudly about people who drink too much on their first night. (Negative.) (No it wont. You have prestidigitation, right? Make his back nice and COLD.) * Hyfus looks at Amroth puzzlingly. * Tavi walks in the door. "Whyever are you having so much trouble waking the poor boy up? * Amroth walks over to Tavi. Are you completely ignorant of how to wake up someone who refuses to wake up? (Yes. Yes he is.) * Amroth wispers something to Tavi. * Tavi blinks. Why in the world would you want cold water? * Tavi reaches into his backpack and withdraws a shortsword, which he quickly unsheaths. * Tavi walks over next to Kerek and jabs him in the ass. * Kerek instantly reacts to the attack and catches Tavi with his shortsword in his butt. YOU DARE! * Tavi withdraws the sword and resheathes it. I dare what I dare, and that's all that I dare. ... um... ow. * Amroth runs out of the room, and retreives a big bucket of ice-cold water, and runs back, spilling some. * Kerek takes to suturing his wounded gluteous. ( You're sewing up your own ass? That's amazing. ) Wake up, or...Oh, you ARE awake. ( Back. ^.^ ) Now shut up and get dressed, silly monk boy. * Kerek grabs for some cold sheets and applies pressure to his wound. ( ...uhm... what'd I miss? ) You're missing an adventure. Or the beginnings of one, anyway. (My head exploding.) (What cold sheets?) (Bed sheets soaked with water.) (not yet) If it weren't against the law to TORTURE people, you would be in much trouble, halfing. Aaaah, but you are assuming that you could get hold of me, but I am small and difficult to keep ahold of. * Tavi runs out of the room! * Amroth lifts the bucket, and dumps it on Kerek, so he has some cold, wet sheets to work with, an then runs out the door. [FYI, it seems that Alcinoe has vanished for some reason, between you two clowns getting the third one up, and Kardos just being snoozy. She's probably off doing temple work, but... Who knows? Kwehehehehe!] It seems our little fiend... er friend has run off again. (Evil laughter not included...) Ah Amroth, how goes? (/me looks for a halfing-trap manual.) (That's the strangest dialect I've ever heard. Oh well, those monks are crazy, ya know?) (:P) * Kardos is snoozy, it seems. Where is he? z.z * Amroth returns to the room. "Good morning. You know, its almost afternoon. Anyway, sorry about the water, but I need you to wake up and get dressed." (He's where he snoozed in the inn. Silly. ;p) I am awake friend. So, shall we go talk to Arth now? (Kwehehehehe!) Um, well, while you were sleeping, we already did. * Tavi bangs on Kardos' door as he walks past. You went in the night without me? * Kardos jumps to attention, inadvertantly hitting his head on the cieling. "...ow." Night? Well, actually, it was morning. I don't follow. (He's as clueless as Eoi. No, even more clueless!) While you were sleeping, this morning, we went to talk to Arth. * Tavi walks back into the room. "Well, boys? Why are you not moving?" ...I... overslept? (Maybe this is why the game is so slow... you guys don't do anything!) You slept all morning. Are you so slow that you cannot understand that? Get dressed, time is wasting. * Kardos is. He shuffles out the door dressed in his armor and adventuregear, and looking miserable. Greetings Kardos. How goes? ( No shit sherloc.) Poorly. My instincts hate me. Have good spirits. Today we will hopefully embark on a cool adventure. ( Down with the Empire!) Why do you say that? So what do we know from Arth? (Kerek! Stop talking like someone from the year 2003 in a different world. ;P) We know that we need to be moving, and finding our target. And you are NOT movinig! (Ghetto 2003!) Alright then. Lets go. (FYI, 'cool' isn't a coined term yet... except by adolecent boys named Silvester.) (Ha okies.) * Amroth turns and walks down the hall. (In fact, I don't even think he's hit that point. He's just... Yeah.) * Kerek grabs his meager belongings and heads toward the dining area for some food. * Kardos rubs his head. "Because jumping when one believes one hears danger approaching is an unfortunate instinct to have when one sleeps with a roof over one's head." * Kerek orders something cheap but filling and crams it down. Don't forget the tip. * Kerek gets something cheap but filling. (*is too lazy to actually make you talk to a server.* ^_^;) (10 silvers enough?) I'll be outside with Ziegfried. If you don't come out before I leave, I'll have to adventure without you. * Tavi walks out the door and calls out loudly, "Come, Ziegfried!" (... One silver is more than enough. A meal usually costs two silver, at most.) (Unless you're goin' banquet style and shit.) * Kerek drops 2 silvers for food and tip and heads toward the front. (He doesn't know that food is included...and all he's paying is the tip.) * Amroth follows Kerek out. * Kerek spots Ziegfried and Tavi. (He woke up late, he doesn't get the free food.) (ah.) Where is Alcinoe and Kardos? Hey, that's a good question. I'm here. I don't know where Lady Alcinoe is. Tavi, have you seen her? * Ziegfried runs up obiedently. Isn't he such a good dog? (Oh crap what did I do with my horse?) (You took care of it last night. ;p) (your horse?) (I sold him and will compensate the renter when I come back right!) (Because I can walk and run like a horse without discomfort.) (... NO! You did NOT do that.) (Ok so I still have him.) ( ...you SO did not do that. That's a VERY good way to no longer be a monk. ) (... I'll talk to you in /msg about it, capiche?) ( Selling a rented horse is a VERY good way to go from lawful straight to chaotic. ) (anyhow.) So, where are we heading then? * Tavi mounts Ziegfried. "Our so-pretty elf is off on her own business, doubtless, or that of her church. WE are going to go ask a few uncomfortable questions." Uncomfortable for us or for others? Yes. Oh. * Kardos frowns. He probably won't enjoy this, then. (Yeah, you guys look intimidating...) * Kardos doesn't go to get his horse, since this is just going around the city. They'll start uncomfortable for the people we ask, and they'll become uncomfortable for us when people hear we're asking and try to stick sharp pointy bits of metal in us. ( Yeah. Kardos the Litlest Barbarian. ;P ) ( What kind of barbarian uses a shield? :P ) (That one does.) * Amroth gets on Luthien. Ah. Well, I can deal with sharp pointy bits of metal, at least. ( The kind that also speaks Swiftian english and has ranks in four knowledge skills? ^.~ ) I should certainly hope so. You look the part, at least, even if you are nearly as small and non-threatening as I am. Ok then. Lead the way. * Tavi slaps Ziegfried lightly on the rump and rides off into the city. "Away!" * Kerek follows the dog and halfing. * And off he goes! Do you follow? (Y/N) (Y) * Amroth follows Kerek, Tavi, and Z. * Kardos follows on foot. (You're following me? Oh, wait, no, you're following Ziegfried.) [You're going in town. Strange, because you were already in town. Anyways, the streets are as busy as they were yesterday, and lotsa people are wheelin' and dealin' with stuff.] [By the way, who got the map?] * Kardos takes in the sights and sounds like a tourist. ^_^ (Tavi, I think.) ( Actually, I'm pretty sure Kardos had it. ) ( Or Alci. ) (OH.) (Well Im cllueless on going I just follow and beat stuff up.) ( Can we just say I have the map, for now? ) ( Or at least that I remember it well enough to make do? ;) ) * Tavi heads for the formerly circled area, which he seems to recall encompassed the border between the Nobles Quarter and the Merchants Quarter. (Cuz' if Alcinoe had it, you're gonna have a little trouble, ain'tcha?) ( Please. I _do_ have 16 Int. Gimme a _little_ credit. :P ) (You think I'd make you roll for something you remembered? ;p) ( I didn't even check the log. ^_^ ) (I have 7) (17) (So? You act like you have 9.) (BACK to the game.) ( 15. And I'm the meat-shield. ;P ) (yes) * Kardos continues with the following. * Kerek looks around and blinks. * Tavi heads for the merchants quarter, since that's the easier of the two to be prowling around in. * Kerek follows along at a steady monk-pace. [You go to the merchant's quarter 'n stuff! It's even busier than before... you could probably find a bunch of stuff here that you couldn't anywhere else... Like cults, and unholy symbols...] (Random Battles FF style!) [And random battl... Wait a minute!] ( ...no. Though if we're lucky, we'll run into an Obligatory Thug Attack. ) Hm. (Or an Obligatory Cultist Attack.) ( And if we're REAL lucky, they'll have a very informative letter on them. ^_~ ) Sorry but fill me in. What exactly are we doing here and what are we looking for? (And, if you want it, you can pull out the map Tavi. It's not like Alcinoe could have spotted you even if you did try to spot it. ;p) (Err, even if she did.) ( She could, actually. She's got wisdom adjustment. ) (And the half-elf bonus. But assuming you roll lucky and she doesn't you shouldn't have a problem.) (And you know how Ard rolls. ;p) We're hunting for a dark cult that is hiding in the dark places of the city. More or less. (Yup. The High class and merchant's quarters are the darkest places of the city.) * Kerek is careful and watches his surroundings for thugs or thieves or murderers or... just evil stuff. So, we've got two main options. First, we can start asking uncomfortable questions out in the open. Second, we can wander through the back alleys asking the same questions and waiting to be jumped. (Lets split up!) I am not sure which would be the wiser. You seem to know more about this sort of affair, fortunately. [An evil thing comes from the shadows and impales all of you on sticks sharpend at both ends! Oh the humanity! Oh th- Oh, wait a minute. That didn't happen. ^_^;) ( ...okay. Kerek and Amroth can go one way, and Kardos and Tavi will go another. ) ( ...works for me. ) ( ^_~ ) (me too.) I shall go into the alleys and question people. If I get jumped I will make sure to teach them a lesson on jumping a jumping monk. (Oh, I will teach you a lesson... (Let's split up gang!) Yes, well, you're certainly welcome to try. Amroth, you go with him. Do try not to get yourselves killed. Agreed. Amroth, pick an alley. * Kardos frowns. "But... isn't dividing ourselves a bad idea?" (Yes! Make GM's head go boom! Splode! Splodey head! Ah, go ahead.) I don't want to pick one. * Tavi gives Kerek a look that says volumes. Nothing can happen in the day. Well I don't really like splitting up anyway. ( s/Kerek/Kardos ) Nothing at all wrong with splitting up. Alright then... * Kerek heads off into a random dark evil alley. * Kardos completely misses the look's real meaning, but shrugs. "Very well. Lead on." * Amroth follows Kerek. "Dark alleys are fun." (GM: channel split?) (Will do...) (Kardos, Tavi, into channel #Aeoth2, please. You too Alcinoe.) (Okay. Please, carry on.) * Kerek looks around for any cultists who are interested in recruiting? (recruiting cultists?) (Play along with their game... go deeper into who's running things.) (Secret Agent Man! SAM) [There's a bunch of people in the alley. A drug dealer here or there, there's a number of 'bars', and of course, an insurance salesman. It's very narrow, so it's hard to move with more than two people side by side. (read: 10 ft wide)] ( "I attack the insurance salesman!" "The Ancient Insurance Salesman breathes a cone of debt at you. You all die." ) Amroth, you look more like one who would be seeking a new cult. Maybe you can look desperate for us and get us some winners? I think we should go into a bar, and check things out. Ok. But, you had enough to drink last night. No more for you. Alright. You can drink and I will observe. * Amroth finds the nearest bar, and goes in. (description.) (On it.) [The bar is what you'd expect one in a dark-lit alley to look like. There's some rooms in the back for the more... privelaged patrons, while the front is reasonably clean. I say reasonably because it is covered in the stench of alcohol.] *** Kerek (jbchary@cpe-66-87-98-155.il.sprintbbd.net) Quit (Ping timeout) (...) (d'oh!) (Kerek went to the back room) (... No, he doesn't. If you can't figure out what's back there now, you're more clueless than I thought.) (no, I know...but knowing Kerek...) *** Kerek (jbchary@cpe-66-87-98-155.il.sprintbbd.net) has joined #aeoth ( Maybe he's secretly wearing a braid of reverse alignment? ^.~ ) (Graw... did you get what I typed before my monitor pooped?) (/msg it to me.) (I just complained about the monitor.) (Ok so we in the bar now?) (yes.) ([The bar is what you'd expect one in a dark-lit alley to look like. There's some rooms in the back for the more... privelaged patrons, while the front is reasonably clean. I say reasonably because it is covered in the stench of alcohol.]) (I already told him, Amroth.) (oh.) * Kerek looks at all the people in the bar for some extra evilness. [The people don't look as evil as one might expect, although there are some hooded figures in the corner, and that bartender looks rather sneaky ] [And give me a spot check, Kerek.] 1d20+2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kerek (1d20+2) and gets 6. (Pha! You notice nothing. NOTHING!) * Kerek notices nothing out of the ordinary. (Ah, the cloaked figure society.) * Amroth walks over to the bartender. "Hey, can I get a drink?" * Kerek walks around the bar scene with his hands held behind his back. * The bartender looks at you, raising an eye. "What'll you have?" (A drink Amroth!) (...Amroth!) What do you recommend? * Hyfus flies outside. He perches himself on the sign that's just outside the bar. For you? Hmmm... Dragon's Breath. ( ...Amroth's gonna get so smashed. ) (Bwahaha!) (Kwehehehehe!) (Err, BWAHAHAHA!) (what's that?) (How should I know?) (How should you know? ^^) ( Smashed. Pasted. Wasted. Sloshed. Sodden. Shi... er, drunk. ) Sure, sounds good. I'll take one. One silver please. Here you pay first, then you get your drink. * The bartender starts mixing drinks from various areas. He's doing it so fast you can't tell what's what, but it sure looks... exotic. * Kerek leans against a support of the bar and keeps a keen eye open for things. [Another spot check, Kerek.] 1d20+2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kerek (1d20+2) and gets 18. [Kerek notices a glimmer from one of the eyes of the patrons.] (Amroth, are you here?) * Kerek follows his instincts and heads toward a particular patron in an unprovocative fashion. * Amroth places the money on the counter. Here you go, sir. * The bartender takes his silver, and hands you the frothing mug. It's green and smoking, and... it looks like something straight out of a mad scientist's workshop. Thank you sir. * Amroth picks up the glass, and slowly takes a sip. Sure. The barfbags are on the way out. I suggest you do what you need to there later. (does it taste good?) (Basically your drinking gasoline.) (Well, almost like gas.) (mmm, yum...) (seriously...?) (Not really good, unless you like the taste of alcohol a LOT... But it's too late now.) (Give me a fort save, please.) (I do.) (a what?) [A fortitude save. It's on your character sheet.] (I find a 3...is this correct?) d20+3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Amroth (d20+3) and gets 7. (Yes. Now roll it.) (D'oh!) [You are sMaShEd! No, seriously. You're drunk off your rocker, and it's taking all the control you have just to keep the drink down, let alone stand up and co-ordinate yourself.] (I just took a sip...) * Hyfus falls off his pearch. He flies un-evenly torwards Amroth, luckily missing everything in his path. (I never really drank it.) (You don't know how potent Dragon's Breath is, do you?) * Hyfus crashes into Amroth's chest. (So about that one guy with the glimmer in his eye?) (You didn't do anything yet. And I still have yet to see Amroth's reaction to his drink.) (So, if you want to do something about the guy with the glimmer...) (Is he sitting down or standing?) (Standing.) (Makes it harder...) (Wait, Amroth *was* standing. The guy with the glint is sitting.) * Amroth gets up off of his stool, and stumbles over to some cute halfling girl. "Hellllloo, mmmmy nnname is Ammmm-roth. What's yyyyours?" ( *cracks up* ) [Unfortunately for Amroth, that 'cute halfling girl' is the stool.] * Kerek takes a seat next to the glimmering person. They say that the land is not what it used to be. *** Funkyeyedman (Zegon@12-213-43-67.client.attbi.com) has joined #Aeoth Hey, wwhen I asssk a qest-on, Iii eexpect aan answer. * Funkyeyedman takes a sip of his drink. It looks like same stuff Amroth got, only this guy seems to have no problem chugging it. "What do you want?" He says, in a low-toned and harsh voice. Whhoo's tallking too you? Nnottt mm-me! I've heard of a new group in town that seems to become a big hit. Know anything about it? ( "Yeah, there's a new heavy-metal band. Call 'emselves 'Johnny Hextor and the Tyrants'." ) * Amroth stumbles, and falls over, knocking down an empty stool. *** Amroth sets mode: +o Kerek * Funkyeyedman looks up at Kerek. "Not a thing." His eyes are a strange yellow, and he looks fairly average minus that. His frame is fairly muscular, and he has somewhat tanned skin. "So what if I have?" (Err, scratch the first statement he said. Mind ret-coning it?) (No.) (And no, yellow is not a common eye color. You guys are just lucky you found two of them in a row. :P) I was wondering that you may have some inside connections so I can join them? First off, do they have a name or title? (Aww crap I said that wrong. Keep going.) (/me jumps for no apparent reason!) *** Atom has left IRC * Amroth gets up, stumbles over to the barf bag, and well, uses it. *** Atom is on IRC * Hyfus flies into the wall. * Funkyeyedman smirks. "Why would you want to know? It's out of your leauge, little boy." Well, its always a good thing to know what's going around in town. Wisdom is valuable to me. * Hyfus gets up and walks very crookedly to the barfbag. He flies, tries to perch on it, and mis-times it so he falls into the bag instead. ( ...this is so sad. XD ) * Funkyeyedman 's eyes glint again. "Are you sure you want to know?" * Kerek confidently nods. * Funkyeyedman pulls out a potion. "Drink this. Then I'll know you speak the truth." How can I be assured that this vial is not poison? * Funkyeyedman smirks. "I'm hurt. Don't you trust me?" * Kerek reluctantly takes the potion and drinks. (*dies*) (*cracks up!*) ( *cracks up* ) [Okay, give me a will save Kerek] d20+5 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kerek (d20+5) and gets 18. (/ME hears a pindrop.) (brb.) [You feel a little lightheaded, but are otherwise just fine.] * Kerek shakes his head a bit. "I drank it, now please hold up your end of the deal and tell me about this group." * Funkyeyedman keeps his grin on his face. "Very well. I'll tell you what I know." [Give me a listen check Kerek (Wisdom is the base, if you don't have the listen skill)] * Hyfus falls asleep on the floor. d20+2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kerek (d20+2) and gets 18. (Oh yeah I love you Dicesuke!) [You hear footsteps comming up from behind you.] * Kerek turns his head. * Funkyeyedman smiles and attacks Kerek with a quickly drawn longsword. (AH!) (Escape Artist? Maybe?) ( Just hope he misses, I think. ) (Evasion better I guess.) ( Escape artist is for getting out of ropes and such. Houdini. ) ( And evasion is for avoiding things that require reflex saves. ) (Reflex! A friggin' sword coming at me.) (Nope. Just hope your AC stands up.) (Roger.) *** Brett is on IRC ( You should have a pretty good armor class, which includes dodging and all that cool stuff. That's your defense right there. ) * Amroth finnishes throwing up, and walks outside to get some air. ( Hold up, Ammy-chan. You're about to enter combat. ) (He's half drunk. ^_^;) (that's what you think.) (What;s openrpg channel again?) ( He's not as think as you drunk he is. ) ( 'Xactly. *hiccup* ) * Amroth , after his head clears a little, realizes that he doesn't feel as bad as he did before, and goes back inside. "Hey, Kerek, what's going on?" (Well Do I get hit or what? I dont wanna fall of the world.) (You do. Hold on, I'm rolling stuff. ^_^;) Who is that man, and why is his sword drawn? (i'm hurt and probably am unleashing attacks at him right now.) * Funkyeyedman hits Kerek in a vital spot, and he falls down. Oddly enough, no blood is comming from Kerek's wound after the sword leaves the wound. (btw that leaves this: WHATS the openrpg channel??) (w4jdh.net:6774 then Aeoth) * Kerek gives out a rushed "grrr" and falls onto the floor and slips into unconsciousness. * Funkyeyedman nods to the man that approached Kerek from behind. The person was one of the cloaked figures from one of the corner tables. * Funkyeyedman takes the rest of Amroth's drink and dumps it down the poor elf's throat. (See, I knew the Hooded Cloak Society was up to no good.) (I knew I should have stayed outside.) Let's go. And bring the elf and his... 'pet' with us. I want to ask him some questions. * Amroth stumbles, trying to run out the door. * The cloaked figure nods and moves to stop Amroth. He begins chanting a few arcane words... Hey! I'm not as think as you drunk I am! I'm outta here! [Spellcraft check, -6 penalty for being so damn drunk] (ouchies_ [And while you're at it, give me a fort save.] (fort) d20+3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Amroth (d20+3) and gets 23. (nice) (Man, Dicey's liking you tonight.) (And the spellcraft check?) (+9?) (killing? high is good...) (+9, with a -6 penalty, so +3.) (I thought that was killing.) (I'm drunk, after all...) d20+3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Amroth (d20+3) and gets 21. (nice again) (it didn't like me before.) ( Actually, now he hates you. ) (no, that's still good.) (Dicey loves me!) [You recogonize somehow thru your drunken stupor that the spell as a sleep spell. Now, you require a Will save to keep from getting knocked out.] (dice feels bad for the drunk elf with the drunk hawk.) * Hyfus is still sleeping on the floor. d20+4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Amroth (d20+4) and gets 13. (hey, dicesuke just sent me a message!) (what's up with that?) ( You said (dice that triggers his instructions. ) [Amroth isn't dazed in the least by the spell. He starts rushing out the door , weaving in and out.] (diced onions) (cool) * Funkyeyedman glares at the cloaked figure. "Is that cloak blocking your vision again? You can't make an elf sleep." "Um, yeah... I knew that." He makes a move to chase after Amroth. * Funkyeyedman stops him with his hand. "Don't bother. I'm sure that he'll want to get his... good pet back sooner or later. Now come, we must be leaving now this local has been found." * Amroth runs for his life, dodging in and out. (Go to #Aeoth2 Amroth) (wait, can I grab Hyfus?) (You want to go back for him?) (crap.) ( They've got your familiar. You're skr00d. ) ( Dude. Don't leave the bird. The bird is your friend. ) * Amroth turns around, and runs back in, quickly looking for Hyfus, and finds him laying on the floor. * Funkyeyedman picks up Kardos, while the cloaked man picks up Hyfus. (should I wait for something, or can I pick him up and run.) (crap) (brb) * Funkyeyedman smirks. "So the elf doesn't have any common sense." ( ...you mean Kerek, I assume? ) (Yeah, Kerek.) (Damn you and your similar names.) (who?) (oh, I caught it.) * Funkyeyedman drops Kerek with a thud and rushes Amroth, drawing his sword and attacking him in one smooth motion. (hold on.) (can I through a flaming sphere at him?) * Funkyeyedman misjudges the distance, and attacks the air where Amroth was a few seconds ago. (Sure, if you can remember the spell.) (it's one I've still got memorized.) (And Flaming Sphere in a bar is a REALLY bad idea.) (crap) (You can do it if you want. It's not like your character's very... with it, at the moment.) ( *boom* ) *** Ardweden is on IRC *** Ardweden has left IRC (magic missile) (one at each.) d20+8 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Amroth (d20+8) and gets 21. * Amroth raises his hands, and starts muttering some arcane words, while moving his fingers. (Drunk elf casting!) * Funkyeyedman siezes his opportunity and makes an attack on the casting elf. * Funkyeyedman hits Amroth clenly, leaving no blood. Amroth looks worse for the wear, though. d20+8 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Amroth (d20+8) and gets 11. d20+12 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Amroth (d20+12) and gets 26. * The attack disrupts Amroth's casting, unfortunately for the poor elf. * Funkyeyedman looks at Amroth with pity. "Just fall down now." * Funkyeyedman strikes at Amroth again with his non-descript (for now) sword. * Amroth falls over unconcious. Saves me the trouble, really. * Funkyeyedman sheathes his sword and picks up the elf. "You get the human too. We have to move now." * The cloaked figure responds, and picks up Kerek, stumbling under the weight. * Amroth just lies there, unconcious. [What happens next, you guys don't know. There's some shuffling inside the bar, as the two never seem to exit the bar...] [Session End!] *** Amroth is now known as UnconciousAmroth *** Funkyeyedman (Zegon@12-213-43-67.client.attbi.com) Quit (Quit: Blargh!

When Matt was running his campaign, I got some pointers from him. He wasn't necessarily good, just really experienced. * Kardos snicekrs. Hah. * Kardos isn't helping. Cry. ;_; * Kardos runs off and hides in a corner. And I GMed a mini-dungeon in D&D 2e and a four session campaign in the Returner game system. But the real kicker, I think, is the constant feedback. I like it when people tell me when I do stuff that's wrong, and when I do stuff that isn't. ^_^; Bah, you're helping. You're giving me ideas on a grander scale though...

"Okay, I think I have *something* planned out, but still... I think it'll move the plot too fast. Then again, if I want you people to do as much as I want you to, I guess I'll have to pick-up the pace sooner or later." Heh. Pacing? I can't exactly lecture anybody on pacing. I still haven't picked that up myself. I'm considering putting the game on leave for a month, actually. You're not here, Joe's not here... I don't know if it'll matter considering how late and often no-shows are here. It'll give me time to sort things out, make sure everything's where and how I want it to be. And also, it'll help because I won't have to worry about a lot of this stuff. ^_^; I'm sorry. I really am. I know I'm *sounding* depressed, but Yu's going to be gone for that long (a little longer, actually). You're not the problem ND. ;p Yes. I am! Dude. You're not the prob... right. And I'm going to have to talk to Joe. He can't keep skipping out like this... Yes. It's all Alcinoe's fault! Dunno HOW, but... I'd like to go on record as saying *I* am sorry. I've tried to get around this for weeks now, and I've failed. ;.; I know. There's nothing you can do about it, and I know where priorities really stand. Don't sweat it. ;p Ok, I admit, It's my fault. Yeah, well, same here. But as-is, I can't very well get the game to WORK in full sessions. Heck, getting Joe here is hard enough. Also, if you need someone to break Joe's legs, I'll offer you a substantial discount. ^_^ I'm incompetent and unhirable, and I've got noone to blame but myself. ... * Alcinoe casually whacks ND with her lute. * Zegon wacks ND with Ard's lute. ND> That makes two of us. :P But what's that have to do with game? ^_~ That's the reason I'm going to disappear as of March 22. May 22nd? er, May 22. ... Oh dear. * Kardos falls over and dies. I graduate on May 23. BRB. Gotta go. ^_^; Okay, see ya Yu. *** Kardos is now known as KardKaptured So, wait, you're not going to be here on May 22, or you're not comming *period* on May 23? Err, after May 22. As of May 22, I will have graduated, and be moved out of the dorms. Since I have neither job nor housing lined up, chances are I'll be living at home until I can manage to find a company badly enough off that they'll hire me. That means I'll be online about as often as I was at Christmas. Not long enough to game. So... what's going to happen with all the games you're running? They're going to go on hiatus until I manage to get back online. Oi... That's tough. * NinjaDebugger cries. * Zegon patpats ND. "It's okay." I've been trying for TWO FUCKING YEARS to get a fucking job. And you haven't found one? Well shit. Like I said. INcompetent and unhirable. * Alcinoe shakes her head. No. You're not incompetent, and I REALLY doubt your unhirable. The economy just plain SUCKS right now. Loews is hiring!..! Yeah, and so is IKEA. But that's besides the point. He's looking for a job that doesn't suck. ;p More importantly, a job that will let me support myself. Considering that I've got so many school loans that I'll probably be in debt for the rest of my life, that's going to be a considerable amount of money. Have you gotten anyone interested in hiring you? Even for crappy jobs? Once. About two years ago. Unfortunately, they wanted a full time person in florida, and I was two years away from graduation. Blah. I think I'm going to have to put the game on hold... I really don't see any way around it. 'Sokay. I understand. S'cool. * Zegon takes a big breath. "Well, that settles it. Aeoth is put on hold until further notice. As for what will become of it... I'm not sure. Maybe, if we can't work something out, I'll start another game in the same world or something... I don't know." * Alcinoe patpats. Nobody knows until it happens. Yup. Nobody does. AHHH! Boo. no, not ahhh to you, AHHH to the new motherboard that doesn't work! I understand about the game. Your motherboard is LAME! it is! This is brand new today! I just got it! *** Zegon changes topic to 'Aeoth is on hold until further notice.'

You can all feel special, as Doctor Murder just rubbed her butt on the monitor. I think that means she likes you. I really hope that's your cat, and not your roomate. * Tia laughs. * Tia loves Doctor Murder. O_O Maha has met the good doctor, and can ensure that she is feline. Ah, good. And also my roommate. So make of that what you will. * SleepDebugger pictures a catgirl rubbing her ass on a monitor. Oh. My. . . . Maggie> Can you /msg me the list of crap for our D&D game? It's your fault. which list of crap? I didn't WANT that bloody image in my head. Treasure? Maggie> Yep. :) Sure. So, Zeg, what've you decided? * Tia sticks out its tongue at ND. * SleepDebugger tugs Maha's hair. Maggie> Thanks! * Tia chews on ND. * SleepDebugger gnaws on Tia. o/~ Whatever happened to saturday night? o/~ Heh? Anybody who can name THAT tune gets fifty points. This is like a hallmark moment. Okay, I think I'll go with the Action Points in the book UA. Where is that in the book? Starting level will be 4-6, probably 5. And if you're using UA, can we use Bloodlines? Bloodlines are fucking confusing. No they're nto. * Tia knows few songs. x_X;; Eh... As I haven't had a chance to look over them, not at the moment. You just give up a level every once in a while and you get some extra stuff. * SleepDebugger likes gestalt characters for sheer over the top factor. * Tia wants to do a fighter/something gestalt. A2 may use Gestalt. Err, A3, as it were. Gestalt characters are great for power gamers. Gestalt characters are great for non-powergamers, too. * SleepDebugger wants to do a Bard/Mage Knight gestalt. Bard, Paladin, and Ranger are all PrCs as per the UA book. 'cuz I love the idea and they implemented it very well. I'll most likely change one of the paladin requirements, though. I'm playing a bard right now that I really like. I might want to do that again. I mean, play a bard, not the same one obviously. * Zegon nods. * SleepDebugger shudders. Bards. ND: Have you seen the bard PrC yet? They're not so scary. Oh well. Hopefully you'll be awake early tomorrow so we can talk. Zeg: Yeah, I have. I didn't pay much attention, though. * Zegon nods. It's probably a fuckton better than the core bard. It is. That sounds like a lot. Maggie: A fuckton is precisely the amount that would cause the average gamer to say "FUCK." I will also allow ECL races up to +3, however you'd better have a *very* good reason, and even so I may need to deny it on disbelief factor. Nighto, peeps. I leave you with this question... Is it live... or is it Memorex? Nite, ND. Goodnight. I was also considering the 'Druid Domain' option. When you say you're using the prestige bard, you mean you would treat them as if they were prestige since level 1? Just ignoring requirements?\ No, you'd have to go through the requirements and have the base skills. Okay, I'll probably need more explanation of that at some point if I decide to go that way. I'm not terribly quick on the uptake. I'll note that the requirements are rather simple. And you can end up with a bard capable of casting fireball. Yeah, I'm looking at it right now. * Tia needs to snag a copy of UA. You want to borrow it sometime? I think I'll need it over the break, but when we get back you can steal it. Maggie> Sure. :) I'll probably buy a copy at some point, though. I need to get a hard copy. The .pdf loads too slowly and is too hard to page through. I really like it. After I bought it I started going nuts, wanting to try everything in the book. Or, after it was bought for me. Whatever. :) It's so sweet. *_* I did like what I've seen of it. Zeg> Did you decide to do gestalt or no gestalt? No getsalt. Not for this game, anyways. Whenever you say Zeg, it makes me think of Zug. 5-6 gestalt characters would be far too much power for me to deal with. ^^; * Tia laughs. Zeg and Zug are totally different. :) Or are ther/ eep Let me try that again. Or are they? I don't mind not doing a gestalt character. Dum Dum Dum! I think it would be hard unless all the characters were gestalt. Gestalt + Not-Gestalt do not mix. Gestalts are just far too powerful to mix with non-gestalts. Sort of like how we all have to be boring Jedi in Ed's game. Ah, okay. Maggie> Heh! I should probably go to bed. Hmmm... But, anyways, like I said it'll be a while before I start it. Well, I'd like to get in on that whenever it begins, if that's okay with you. It's sad when my grandmother signs off AIM just a few minutes before I go to sleep. I can't keep up with my grandmother. I'm pathetic. Maggie> Hehe. *** Rob is on IRC Zeg> Do you know what the others are thinking of playing? I know Yu's going to play Kardos. He's not a paladin, right? Not yet. Kardos might become paladin, though. I know that's where Yu'd want to push him, despite his low cha. So he's a fighter, eh? Barbarian/fighter, IIRC. *** Rob has left IRC Okay, it's definitely bedtime. Nite, Maggie. 'night Magster. Maha, I'll see you tomorrow before I leave, hopefully. Is ND playing a rogue? Night. Maggie> Okay. :) Nite! Probably. *** Maggie (magcsmit@adsl-68-76-219-77.dsl.bltnin.ameritech.net) has left #Aeoth *** Rob is on IRC *** Rob has left IRC Hmmmm... Would you mind another fighter? Oi, we need some casters you know. But I won't stop you from making one. * Tia has never really played a spellcaster before. Haven't? Nope, not since one 2nd edition game. That's a loooong time. Magic's a bit easier in 3.5. And in 3.0. If you were to play a caster, what kind would you be? Maybe a sorcerer. No evil characters, yes? I'd prefer you stay away from the evil axis. Okay, just checking. Hmmm. I'll definitely need help with the spells and things. I only have the spells in the PHB. * Zegon nods. The PHB spells aren't bad. There's just a lot more out there. * Tia nods. I guess I'll say sorceror for now, then. Sorcs are fun and pretty easy to play. Spell selection gets a bit tricky later on, though. Ahh, okay. :) I trust that you guys'll help me, anyway. * Zegon nods. I'll also allow the Draconic Bloodline and Enhanced Draconic Bloodline feats, giving you a bit of a larger amount of spells. Ah, for sorcerors especially? Yeah. It's a spontaneous caster thing, so sorcs and bards get the most use out of it. Ahh, okay. Hmm. :) *** Rowyn is on IRC I think I'll probably be playing a mostly-human, then. Spellcasters do best if they single-class and go with a low-ECL race. I'm thinking human at the moment, though with the Draconic Bloodline, the character would be distantly dragon, yes? Very distantly. All righty. Hmm. At the moment, I'm thinking of playing a hypochondriac... Hypo-what? Someone's who's really paranoid about getting sick. Hee! Would that work? :) I like it. ^_^ Better hope you have a cleric on-hand. Yey. :3 He might end up asking for healing when he doesn't need it. Or Cure Disease. :P Yep. He'd probably be a little weird about cleanliness. :3 *** Calculus has left IRC I like quirks like that?

Thou shalt invite the Maha? Already did. ^_^ So, any questions? Uhmmmmm. Level 3, 40 point statbuy? I'm debating on starting it higher level. But I want to hear your opinions first. *** Chiaki (kitsuneh@adsl-68-76-218-163.dsl.bltnin.ameritech.net) has joined #Aeoth * Zegon waves at Maha. I like level 20. :P * Yu-Mei tackleglomps Maha. * NinjaDebugger tackleglomps maha. DOUBLE TECH! Okay, I'm not starting it that high considering I've never even made a character higher than level 15. <.<; * Chiaki falls over. *** Chiaki is now known as Cheeseball Suggestions on starting level? Higher levels? Four or five, I guess. I wouldn't say any higher than eight, although eight's a good starting level. ;P I'm strongly considering level 5. So you'll be *just* out of reach of most PrCs. 5's plenty fine with me. Enough to get some decent starting equipment. * Zegon nods. But you're not hugely powerful either. *** Brett has left IRC Sounds fine. Unless it's my character, in which case I _am_ hugely powerful. What's your character concept? Godlike power. Right. Level 5 Deity. * Yu-Mei snickers. So, let's go with that. At level 6, I'm getting the Overlord of the Gods P-class. Make your characters level 5 with 40 point statbuy. Okay. I might need some help with the building process. When do folks have time? :3 * Cheeseball has never played a spellcaster before...well, since AD&D 2nd ed., briefly. Also, Maha, I plan on using ND's variant of the Sorceror. In which case, you pick two focuses. Those are where most of your spells will be concentrated. Okay, cool. Maha: I suggest one of them be "Healing". ^_~ * Zegon nods. You can do that. ANY focus is legal. You get a primary and a secondary. That's perfectly fitting, since he's a hypochondriac. * Cheeseball grins. The first spell you get at each level is guaranteed to be part of your primary focus, and the second is from your secondary. After that, it's GM whim and the winds of necessity. Yeah. One of the reasons sorcs are great is that they can leave spell slots open and spontaneously learn a new spell whenever they happen to need it. They can't change it later, but hey, it can get 'em out of a jam. I will allow Draconic Bloodline and Enhanced Draconic Bloodline as well. (Sorcs, in my opinion, get a bit too few spells for my tastes). However, these feats will take up valuable feat slots. (Most people think it's worth it) * Cheeseball nods. What are the possible focuses? Anything. Anything. Tiffany in EW2 has... Communication and Charm as her foci. I know they're called things like Illusion and Necromancy and whatnot... Fire, Destruction, Necromancy, Healing, Compuslion, Sound... Hmm...I'll have to study them a bit. The spell you get is up to me. Communication, cold, force, acid... Force is a nice focus. Healing, water... Animals. Trickery. Ice. Luck. Travel. Protection. Glory. Good/Evil/Law/Chaos. Glory. Celerity. Toughness. Strength. If I pick both Healing and Protection, he'd be way too cleric-like, eh? He'll be, basically, a spontaneous cleric. He'd be the next best thing to a spontaneous cleric, yeah. Other stuff: Healing includes cure disease and things like that, yes? Dreams, Traps... It may. Maha: Depends on Gm whim, basically. Aha. Oh, right. Can you tell me a bit more about Aeoth? The old site should still be up... Well, it's where Alcinoe and Kardos are from. ;) Oh! http://www.ardweden.com/aeoth/ Thanks. ;) I do plan on finishing up the info before I start the game. Oh yeah, Zeg... we need to work out details on a blowgun, unless you already have them. Blowgun, right. Hold on... * NinjaDebugger grins evilly. * Zegon finds the stats for it in MotW, actually. I wanted one of his foci to be something more academic. Uh... Blowguns suck. Maha: Go with Knowledge, then. What's included under Knowledge? Healing + Knowledge = beatings. Knowledge is stuff like Scrying. Maha: things like Identify, Augury, Divination, Legend Lore, Analyze Dweomer... Ah, that would be very appropriate, then. Object Loresight and Creature Loresight, too. Zeg: Lemme check 'em. What page? I've got a name for him; just gotta fill in the character sheet stuff. :) ND: Page 26, MotW. Zeg: Hmm. What I'd do, then, is add that on the regular blowgun, the dart is so small that there's some chance N of not being able to find it. It just sorta disappears under the skin like a thorn. That'd make it a helluva lot better. I guess the advantage of it is it can deliver contact poison. Sadly, I don't think a level 5 character can afford a +1 Blowgun of Distance. Contact and Injury poisons, yah. * Zegon also might increase the range increment to 15 ft. 10 ft. is just pathetic. Then again... 10' is appropriate, really. Blowguns are NOT long range weapons. Yeah. * NinjaDebugger makes a halfling who uses a caber as his weapon of choice. o_O Gotta be one mighty halfling. c.c Barbarian. *rage* *throw tree at enemy* * Cheeseball laughs. Caber! Grab the Draconic bloodline as well. Eh? Which lets you use weapons bigger than you'd normally be able to. XD Draconic Bloodline = Sorcerer as a preferred class. Improved Draconic Bloodline = Know More Spells. Know More Spells = GOOD. No, I mean the Bloodlines in the Unearthed Arcana book. Heh. Nah, I think I'll stick with my halfling who uses a blowgun. And Draconic Bloodline gives a +1 DC bonus to all spells, doesn't it? Oooooh, those. No, it used to, but that was too powerful. But yeah, I'd say Maha should consider Draconic Bloodline and Improved Draconic Bloodline. Yeah, that's like Spell Focus in ALL schools. Which is broken. I might add to the IDB that you get to choose a tertiary focus based on the type of bloodline you're from, and that determines what spells you get from your bloodline. Ooooh, that's cool. * Zegon likes that idea. Someone descended from a REd, for example, could potentially choose Fire, Destruction, Chaos, or Evil. * Cheeseball nods. I was thinking I'd take up the Draconic feat thingies. I'll note that, as a sorc, you'll want as many levels as you can get under your belt. Levels? Of sorceror? And, actually, that holds true for any of the casters. Yeah. I might just go pure sorceror, unless there's a good reason to multi- or prestige class. For a straight Sorc? There isn't. Unless you take Knowledge, in which case I'd suggest trying for Loremaster. Ah, what's that? Loremaster is... Well, it's okay. Loremaster's nice if you like knowing things. It's better than nothing, which is what Sorc has to offer at high levels. ^_~ Exactly. This is true. Heheh, I seem to recall something about that. Archamage is nice, if for no other reason than the novelty of Spell Shaping. OR... there's always the option of trying for Archmage, but that's a VERY high level one. As a sorc, you can't take it until level 15, at earliest. Archmage is *very* nice, though. Aha. And if you go Healing and Knowledge, it doesn't have a whole lot to offer. Yeah. It's better for boom-casters. *** Yu-Mei is now known as Thaco *** Yu-Mei has left IRC It's AMAZING for boomcasters. Shape Spell. *_* What's Shape Spell? Mastery of Shaping, Mastery of Energy, and Mastery of... I forget the other one. Shaping lets you alter the area of effect of your spells. So you can put holes in your fireball. Mastery of Shaping= I want my fireball to only hurt people in *this* direction. Basically, you can do friendly fire without the fire part. The standard boomcaster package is Mastery of Shaping, Mastery of Energy, and Spell Power +1, +2, and +3. Mastery of Energy = I want my fireball to do Sonic damage. Or Holy damage. Screw that. Force damage. Also a good one. Spell Power = +1, +2, and +3 to your save DCs and Spell Penetration rolls. For a total of +6. * Thaco actually named a character 'Thaco', yes. * Zegon thinks it's limited to the base Fire, Lightning, Cold, Acid, and Sonic though. It is. It's limited to the five basic energy types. Aww. So mostly it's used to go for Sonic. Unless somethng's got a weakness. Right. Because *nothing* resists sonic. And it does full damage to objects. If you're up against red dragons, Coldball becomes your friend. ;) Ahh, okay. Even though a sorceror has two foci, he'll still get to cast spells in other categories, right? Yeah. Their first two spells are from that foci, though. At every level. Ah, okay, cool. I love the poison. Zeg, would I be able to build my char sheet from the D&D 3.5e PHB? * Cheeseball chews on Zeg. Mmm... Probably. If not, we can help you. Hmm...would it work if I build my char using the PHB, and then you guys can help me tweak it? We can always help. 6_^ ^_^ Yeah. We can help you. Thanks! :3 Suuuure. ^_^ I'll probably build him up tomorrow. :3 Okay... you're NOT going to be making it into Loremaster. When'll people be around online tomorrow? That's pretty much a given. * Zegon also wonders when he's not going to be online tomorrow. :P * NinjaDebugger wonders that, too. Loremaster is not an attainable class for a Sorc. Ah, okay. You need 10 ranks in two different Knowledge skills, any three metamagic or item creation feats, plus Skill Focus in a knowledge skill, and the ability to cast seven different divinations, at least one of which must be level 3+ Yeah. It's a sick requirement. Dragon Disciple is attainable, but it sucks for sorcerors. Dragon Disciple is a very nice concept, very poorly implemented. It's best for people who'd do the Eldrich Knight thing, and then they just take levels in Eldrich Knight. Archmage is attainable, but VERY high level. Hm. We need a new Sorcerer p-class. Oh, Yu,if you still need help withd ragons, I can get you the Draconomicon. Any age restrictions or nationality requirements, Zeg? * Cheeseball has the Draconomicon. :D No nationality requirements. Age restrictions... Try not going too young. You have a file at the site about the different countries? I was thinking around 25-30 Gisal. Okay, cool. There's a definite lack of good sorceror P-classes. Draconomicon? :3 Yu: Yeah. Incoming. Blood Magus could fit him, but unfortunately, it sorta SUCKS. The only good sorceror PrC I can see is Archmage (which is really a wizard thing), Eldrich Knight (Which works for wizards too), and Arcane Trickster (which isn't really a full sorc thing). You know what I say? Mmm? Take Dragon Disciple, give it... oh... 9/10 spell progression, and add the two Draconic Bloodline feats as prereqs. ... Woah, that'd be BADASS. No more badass than, say, Elemental Savant. True. I can see that. What draconic heritage are you expecting to be from, Maha? Or don't you want to know? :P * Thaco nods. I doubt he'd know. Go prismatic! It worked for Kali. * Cheeseball laughs. * NinjaDebugger casts Prismatic Queer on Yu. What would a hypochondriac clean freak be most likely to be? ;P I'm not sure. Dragon's arent Err, aren't known for being neat-freaks. Probably one of the Lawful dragons. And one of the less bright ones. * Cheeseball laughs. I recall a certain dragon species being rather fastidious, but I forget which species... It's not one of the prismatic dragons, though. Go for Rust Dragon. ;P *rimshot* * Zegon snerks. Dahaha. It's all about the Shadow Dragons. Go ahead, breathe a cone of negative levels. I mean, it's an insect, and dumb as a rock, but hey! Hahaha. SHADOW DRAGONS! XD CHEESIEST DRAGON EVER. The 2e Shadowdragon can take ANYTHING. And the 3e shadow dragon can't? "I breathe!" "I save." "Lose half your levels." "But I SAVED!" "Yeah, if you hadn't, you'd ahve lost three quarters." Holy shit. In 3e, they're a LOT less powerful, on account of there being way more ways to become immune to negative levels. True. *** Maha (kitsuneh@adsl-68-76-218-163.dsl.bltnin.ameritech.net) has joined #aeoth That, and the breath weapon is no longer "three quarters or half". Bah. It's "one negative level per age category, save for half." Connect go boom? Yah. Network cable popped out. I'm still gonna send one your way, once you get into the deeper underworld. You can have fun killing it. *** Cheeseball (kitsuneh@adsl-68-76-218-163.dsl.bltnin.ameritech.net) Quit (Ping timeout) Oh goddess. Those things are CHEESE.

I've got a plan." *dragon wins init, breathes, wizard blows save and takes 10 negative levels* "Do you still have a plan?" "...nope." * Thaco laughs. http://www.jmoneystudios.net/mortalpoet/shavecut.html What's that? A really strange flash. ^_^ It's not sick or anything. Hehehe, okay. (I have my sound off, though; watching Dune at a friend's place. ^^) Awww. (They just had wild, hot desert sex.) Yummy. Is this new Dune, or old Dune? I dunno. I've never watched either and didn't know there was more than one. Red dragons are vain, but not necessarily freakishly meticulous/neat. * Cheeseball shrugs. I guess I'll leave it up to you, Zeg. Dragon! * Zegon likes dragons. I don't think Aeoth has as many dragons as CW, though. CW doesn't have that many, normally. Just been a lot lately. You're all dragon magnets, yo. * Cheeseball likes dragons too, hehehe. Although if Pat keeps it up, he'll be a dragon spooker, too. "Yeah, this is from the first dragon, this is from Ganche, this is from..." Oh, this is supposedly the new Dune. * NinjaDebugger nods. (And there was just another orgy.) Orgies are fun, and educational. * Cheeseball laughs. * Zegon snickers. o_O Fun, yes. Educational? In a way, yes. Ah, more orgy. It's kinda hopping between the orgy scene and the scene with the princess and the sorta-nekkid dude. Heh. Ah, and that's the end of the first episode.

I have ranks in like, fifteen skills. ^_^; Luckily, this is a home game, so I don't have to worry so much about having all my skills maxed out. Osu. XD Home game? Only three of my skills are maxed. Hide, Move Silently, and Home game, as opposed to a Living Campaign. Well, fine, don't share with Maha. :P (No, I don't really mind.) What's that? o.o Living Campaign : Home Game :: MMORPG : RPG Ohh. o.o Right. I don't like competing with other characters, so I'd probably end up being useless in one of those massively multiplayer games. XD Living campaign modules are built assuming that the PCs are completely macked out in their specialty, so all the DCs are adjusted appropriately. Ah, sucks. How do you GM one of those things, anyway? o_0;;; You have N GMs and up to 6x#GM players. Each GM takes up to 6 players and runs the module for those players. Hou. Sounds kinda tricky to run, though. It definitely has quirks, but it's not BAD, per se. It's different. * Cheeseball nods. It's a breeding ground for rules lawyers, though. Haha, I 'd bet. * Cheeseball smacks the Enter key. EVIL! Yes, EVIL! * NinjaDebugger grins evilly. What now? ;P Just noting that this character's weapons deal 1 damage. ^_^; XD Somehow I suspect that means you're going to do something about it. Nope. No? :) They'll keep dealing 1 damage. Of course, that doesn't count the 3d6 sneak attack, or whatever poison I happen to use. Aha. That was what I was thinking. ;) when you absolutely must take an enemy down, poisoned shuriken are the way to go. ^_^ Preferably from hiding. TAke 3d6+1 damage... and make three DC 15 fort saves. Each one you fail does 1d6 Con damage. Wait, it's 3d6+3. ^_^ Halflings get mad skill bonuses. And the +2 Dex lets me have decent abilities all around while still having 18 Dex and Int. ^_^ +2 Climb, Jump, Listen, and Move Silently, +1 to all saves... Awesome. Oh, and +4 Hide, also. They're literally the perfect rogues. Zug's totally going to do the poison shuriken thing. He's the worst rogue ever, though. ;) Hehe. Is he Large? Yeah, I figured halflings'd be the best rogues. Yep. -4 Hide. He should totally use Small shuriken that do 1d3 damage each. "YOu call that a shuriken? THIS is a shuriken." * Cheeseball laughs. Regular ones are tiny, aren't they? Yep. How big would a Small shuriken be...? Saucer-sized? It'd be a throwing dagger. How big's a throwing dagger? 'bout six inches long. So figure it'd be, yeah, about the size of a tea saucer. Ahh, nice. X3 * Cheeseball randomly gnaws on ND. * NinjaDebugger randomly chews on Maha. Little hungry? Yeah, actually. * NinjaDebugger gives Maha some corndogs. goddess, my skill list is insane. @_@ I'm such a skillmonkey. XDDD * Cheeseball chews on corndogs. My freezer is well stocked with beef and bean chimichangas, chicken and cheese taquitos, chicken corndogs, chicken nuggets, and chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream. Haha, my freezer mostly just has frozen vegetables. Oh, crud. Do I really need Sleight of Hand? I'd have to get rid of either... Gather Information or... probably Use Rope. * NinjaDebugger dumps Use Rope. Sleight of Hand is used for pickpocketting, yes? Pickpocketing, and more importantly, slipping poisons into food unnoticed. Mmm, poison. X3 * NinjaDebugger gets his starting roster of poisons ready. * NinjaDebugger grins. * Cheeseball raises an eyebrow. Poison is not for frequent use, but when I do use it, it's gonna be beatings. ^_^ Hehehe. X3 DC 15 injury, initial/secondary Unconsciousness/Unconsciousness for 2d4 hours. Ou. XD Or DC 16 Injury, initial/secondary of 1 Con/Unconsciousness. Ii na. :3 Or DC 13 Injury, 1d6 Con/1d6 Con. ^_^ Hahaha, poison is evil. Be glad I can't afford the REAL biggies. Like Wyvern Poison, which is Injury DC 20, 2d6 Con/2d6 Con. * Cheeseball nods. XD Or Black Lotus Extract, which is DC 20 Contact, 3d6 Con/3d6 Con. What's contact do? SKin contact is enough to poison you with it. As opposed to injury, which has to get into the blood. Or ingested, which is eet, or inhaled, which is... yeah. XD Hou. The ingested poisons I've got are Oil of Taggit and Arsenic. * Cheeseball nods. Oil of Taggit is DC 17, 0/Unconsciousness. And Arsenic is DC 15, 1 Con/1d8 Con. What's 0? No initial effect. Ah, okay. There are a few poisons that have either no initial or no secondary effect. * Cheeseball nods. Gotcha. * NinjaDebugger also isn't pulling out any of the poisons from the Book of Vile Darkness just yet. Now THOSE are EVIL. * Cheeseball laughs. Is that the book they had with the "Mature readers only" sticker on the front? One of them, yeah. DOn't let little kids into this one. It's... horribly, horribly evil in places. Aha. I think I flipped through that one, but I didn't really read. What was horribly evil about it? There's one magic item that encourages the user to chain little kids to himself and use them to power his spells. * Cheeseball laughs. I know a character who'd use that... It's got a little sex and a LOT of drugs. Oh, right. Drugs. Colossal Scorpion Poison would be nice to have. Only 9k per dose. Injury DC 54, 2d8 Strength/2d8 Strength. Are any of the ability drains permanent? There are a few. Burnt Uther Fumes have initial damage of a permanent point of Con, and Shadow Essence has initial of a permanent point of Strength. Ah, oww. This guy's got +8 to hit with his blowgun, and +9 with shuriken. * Cheeseball nods. o_o *** Zegon (Zegon@c-24-15-245-98.client.comcast.net) has joined #Aeoth All righty. I guess I should start building my guy. Hiya, Zeggers. *** ChanServ sets mode: +o Zegon Rah! XD * Cheeseball chews on Zeg. @_@ Posted pics of the radioactive river, Zeg. :3 Zeg! Zeg, how does the point-buy work in your game? How many points does it cost to buy a certain stat level? Maha: The same as EW2. 1 per point up to 14, 15 and 16 are 2 points each, and 17 and 18 are 3 points each. Ah, and 40 points? Yeah. Ok, cool. Stats start at 8, which is 0 points. Sorcs need cha as their main stat? Yep. What else? * Zegon looks back in. You want your charisma as high as possible, especially if you're going with the Draconic Bloodline thing. Sorcs need Charisma. Anything else is gravy. Con is good for HP, Int is good for skills. Yeah. You'll definetly want an 18 cha. Gotcha. Aha. It says Con and Dex... 19, since you're level 5. And dex is good for AC and ranged touch attacks. * Cheeseball nods. The extra ability point from level 4 doesn't count as one of the 40 points, yes? * NinjaDebugger doesn't see Maha's character making many ranged touch attacks. Maha: No, it doesn't. * Zegon snerks. Okay. Well, if she takes they rayspell metamagic, she can do healing at range. Oh, Reach Spell, you mean. Yeah, that one. That doesn't take a ranged touch unless it's a hostile spell, though. It says you must succeed at a ranged touch attack to bestow the spell upon the recipient. ^^; + ""'s. Oh. Bugger. S'not that good a feat, anyway, really. +2 levels. "I can cast Cure Light from a distance... or walk up and Cure Serious you. Yeah. If it were only +1 level, it might be worth it. Maybe. My skill totals are insane. I've got ranks in fifteen different skills. Whoo! Int still determines a Sorc's number of spells, then? Nope. Sorcs get bonus spells based on Charisma. For sorcs, Int is good only for skills. * Zegon nods. Ah, okay, I see. Good good. Man, I am the suck at point-buy. Want some help? I suggest... hmm... Sure. 18 Charisma, obviously. That leaves you 24 points. What race are you going to be? Human. You're a hypochondriac, so that points to low Wisdom, so leave that at 8. * Cheeseball laughs. You've got a draconic heritage, and that points to high strength, Con, Int, and Charisma, so pop 2 points into Dex to bring it up to 10. That leaves 22 points. 4 to bring Strength up to 12 leaves 18. You could drop the remaining 18 points into... hrm. 6 points to bring Int up to 14, 10 to bring Con up to 16 (further emphasising your hypochondriac nature, since you're VERY healthy), and then the last 2 on either STrength or Dex, your choice. Now... You can put 6 points each into con and int, giving you a 14 in each of those and... 6 points left. Or that. :P Hmmm, whee. Personally, I prefer the 14/10/16/14/8/18 option. * Zegon nods. It suits draconic better. * Cheeseball nods. I'll go with that. * Zegon snerks. If Zeg allows that proposed modification to Dragon Disciple, you're going to end up with base stats of 22/10/18/16/8/20, before level bonuses. ^_^ Hou. X_X Okay, well, for Draconic Disciple: I've noticed it has the Cleric BAB progression, and it makes the character one class larger as well. He'd be Large? o.o Yeah. He'd also grow wings. Like, is the Large just from the wings, or would he actually get larger? o.o His size would be 'Large'. And as such, he'd have reach. Like. 10 ft reach. Zeg: So make it 7/10 progression. No spell progression at levels... 4, 7, and 10. Hmm...so he'd grow taller and stuff, too, huh? Yeah. Yep. Bigger in every way. Whoa. I was either going to do that, or change the cleric BAB to wizard/sorc BAB and make it so he didn't grow. Humans have a speed of 30'? Up to Maha. Yeah, they do. Cool. Oh, how are we doing HP? I've no problem with changing the cleric BAB to Wiz/Sorc, but the grow is the only way to get the wings, which is one of the most significant benefits. Maha: Max at level 1, then roll. okay d4+3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Cheeseball (d4+3) and gets 4. I haven't even gone over that and ND rolled his HP. Anyways, I was planning on max HP at level 1, then afterwards you roll for HP. Possibly with re-rolls on 1s for hit points. d4+3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Cheeseball (d4+3) and gets 4. ... d4+3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Cheeseball (d4+3) and gets 5. 4 d4+3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for NinjaDebugger (4 d4+3) and gets 4 6 5 4. Two ones. o.0 No dicelove for Maha. Blehhh. Maha: Take mine. :P 3 d4+3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Cheeseball (3 d4+3) and gets 7 7 5. Ah? Or yours. @_@ And you get four of them. Unless you're using a level somewhere that I don'tknow about. Level 5. No, I rolled two ones, so I was rerolling the two bad ones. 5 7 7 5, I think. Unless I missed something somewhere...? Ah. Yey. Init is just the dex bonus, yes? Which means +0 for me. Yeah. Okay, cool. Dex bonus and AC bonus. You're going to be vulnerable, but blessedly hard to kill. And if anybody gets near you, they'll probably drop dead as I sneak them from hiding with a poisoned dart. ^_~ Hehehe. ^v^y Well, once she gets Dragon Disciple, she won't be very vulnerable anymore. Oh, right. I get a familiar. :3 Zeg, are you allowing any animals besides the ones listed in the PHB? * Zegon snerks. If you get Improved Familiar you can always get the infamous PseudoDragon at level 7. PSEUDODRAGON! Pseudodragons are love. Ahh. XD Pseudodragon be cute. :3 Hey, ND, are there any other requirements for Enhanced Draconic Bloodline other than Draconic Bloodline? One feat at level 1? Or two? You're human, so two. Okay. If you want to become a Draconic Disciple, you *must* take Draconic Bloodline, and that can only be taken at level 1. Err, Dragon Disciple. Okay, I'm taking that, then. Enhanced Draconic Bloodline? You gotta be a spontaneous arcane caster, that's all. * Zegon snerks. She can start off with both the bloodlines, then. Okay. :3 She could, yes. It'd definitely help her offensive capabilities if she chose, say, Fire as her focus. ^_~ Oh, Maha, what are your primary, secondary, and tritary focii? And you still get a level 3 feat. Tertiary, Zeg. :P Whatever. :P * Zegon mangles YET ANOTHER WORD! Healing, Knowledge, and Dunno. ^_^;; I haven't decided on the order, though. Well, the "Dunno" is almost definitely going to be your tertiary. Any idea what you're aiming for for alignment? * Zegon also might rule that small and medium creatures get the flight associated with half-dragons. Why is it that large and larger creatures are the only ones that get flight? I set it at chaotic neutral to begin with, but it's flexible. Chaotic Neutral is a Problem Alignment. Is it? Zeg: It's a special condition of the Dragon Disciple class. It specifically says you only grow functioning wings if you're Large or larger after the size change. ND: No, I mean why under the half-dragon template do normal and smaller races not get wings? Oh, I don't know. The designers often do stupid shit. Like giving a 6d10 breath weapon to a CR 2 creature. Well that's stupid shit. So I'm not gonna do that. And that's also stupid shit. So that's not happening either. Also, I'm using 3.5 for this, so... So...? Breath weapons on half-dragons, when maxxed, do 6d8 damage for all varieties. Yeah? Yeah. They made all varieties of half-dragons do the same damage with breath attacks. Good. The attack is also either a 60 ft. line or a 30 ft. cone. (Depending on type) I'd get some armor, except that I can't support the weight. ^_^; What are the descs for Draconic Bloodline and Improved Draconic Bloodline? Draconic Bloodline makes Sorceror a favored class for you. Improved Draconic Bloodline is... "You gain bonus spells known based on your permanent Charisma bonus, in addition to gaining bonus spells per day." Make an addition to that: Hm "As per the table 1-1 on page 22 in the 3.5 PHB" Err, page 8. My bad. You've got a 19 Charisma at this point, so you'll have one extra spell known at each level from 1-4. But you don't know levels 3+ yet, so you just get one extra spell known at levels 1 and 2. Okie. * Zegon nods. And max ranks for skills is 5+3? At level 8, you'll get a bonus spell known at level 5 (which youc an't actually use until level 10), and at level 16, you'll get a bonu spell known at levels 1 and 6. Er, class skills. Spellcasters are so complicated. x_@;; Discounting the effects of any Tome of Leadership and Influence that we find, anyway. Max rank for class skills is 8 for you, for cross-class, it's 4. Spellcasters ARE complicated. And you're playing one of the LEAST complicate.d :P Yeah. Clerics are a real pain. @_@; Cool. 3 feats total for being level 5? Since you're human, yes. What you do with your level 3 feat is up to you. You could do a lot of things. * Zegon nods. Oh, also, since you have draconic bloodline, you're susceptable to effects that target dragons, dispite only having an ounce of draconic blood in you. (Overlooked part of the feat) Granted, I don't think it'll come into play, but might as well mark it down. Ah, okay. That's the downside to the Draconic Bloodline feat. (feats, as it were) Is Scribe Scroll useful at all? What are somatic components, by the way? Like arm movements, etc.? Yeah. Ahh, okay. * Cheeseball stares at the metamagic feats. Are any of these particularly useful from your experience? Ever watch Naruto, Maha? Maha: Lots of them. Most of them, in fact. Just not for sorcerors, generally. ^_^; Sorcerors kinda get the shaft. Never watched it, but I own the first Japanese volume and I read it in Jump. D'oh. Maha: The hand-seals they do when they do jutsu are how I picture somatic components. Hahahaha, okay. That's what I was thinking, too. ND: With your version of sorceror, Metamagic *rocks*. How different is the custom version of sorc compared to the 3.5 PHB version? Are you using my version in its entirety? * Zegon hmmms... It's a tough call, really. I'm thinking I'll just stick with the focii part, and leave the rest as written in the 3.5 PHB. * NinjaDebugger nods. In which case Metamagic is mostly useless for you, Maha. * Zegon nods. I'm considering using one of the optional rules in UA, though. Zeg: What's that? The one that lets you 'prepare' spells with a sorc for metamagic so you can use them as standard actions. That's a standard feat, actually. Arcane Preparation, as presented in Tome and Blood and FRCS> It's not worth it. Check the sidebar on page... 151 in UA. Oh, the one where a sorc can use up one of his permanent Known Spell slots for a metamagic'd version of a spell. No, taht's not the one. No, that's not it. Reserving slots like that is _totally_ something Maha doesn't need to deal with. 'kay. * Cheeseball can't make up its mind on the third feat. x_X I stand by my assertion that two things make the sorceror useless compared to the wizard. I could do a Craft feat, I guess. Well... four things, really. Item Creation is always useful. So is Spell Focus. When in doubt, I say you go with familiar feats. ^_~ Go for Improved Familiar, though. Improved Familiar, Big Familiar, Advanced FAmiliar... Improved Familiar? * Cheeseball checks it up. That way, when you hit level 7, you might be able to get a Pseudodragon as one. ~_^ (Assuming you're a good alignment, that is.) I think I might go for Chaotic Good. Chaotic Good is generally a good alignment. It's generally described as "American" * Cheeseball laughs. American? Freedom Fries! I mean, that's CG in a nutshell. Yeah. You believe in freedom and all that is generally described as "Good", and you don't impose your beliefs on others. Well, actually not. Huh. I'd always thought Americans tend to impose their beliefs on others. As opposed to the Crazy Fundamentalist American which is actually Lawful Neutral. I'm referring to the REAL american attitude. The one the country was founded on. AKA "Do your own thing and don't fuck with anybody else." * Zegon nods. Ah, okay. I guess we're supposed to leave other people alone. Just doesn't seem like we do. As opposed to the more recently developed "America, Love it or Die" attitude that's come up recently. The one that made America isolationist for the first 100 years or so. * Cheeseball laughs. 'Don't fuck with the affairs of other people, and do the right thing.' * Cheeseball nods. I can't find Improved Familiar in my book. That's because it's not in the PHB. Currently, "America" is Lawful Good, with emphasis on the Lawful. "Our way is the right way, and we're going to impose it on you." Oh. It's in Tome and Blood, and FRCS. FRCS? The higher your level when you summon your familiar, the better the critter you can get. Forgotten REalms Campaign Setting. Oh, derr. I should have known that. Basically, assuming you don't have a familiar already, you can get one from a non-standard list. I guess I'll stick Improved Familiar in, then. Yeah. And the higher level you are when you summon the familiar, the better the critter that comes to answer you. Didn't get the FR books yet. Which consists of... Shocker Lizard, Stirge, Formain Worker, etc... Anything of that general power level. Cool. Do you get to pick? Any celestial/fiendish/anarchic/axiomatic version of a normal familiar... Normally, the PC picks. In my game, the PC states what he'd like, and the GM decides what he gets. ^_~ Exactly. ~_^ * Cheeseball laughs. * Zegon notes that Tiff hasn't gotten a familiar yet. No, she hasn't. Probably because getting one costs 100 gp in magic components. She couldn't afford the material components. Kilinc's not overly picky, but he'd want something fastidiously neat, if possible There's a player in one of the games I'm in that wants an albino bison. There's a player getting a ferret. * Cheeseball laughs. Zeg: Give 'er an Axiomatic Raven, then. Ravens are VERY clean, and Axiomatic makes them even more lawful. Would a lawful familiar get along with a chaotic character? Oh, you're chaotic. Why in the world are you chaotic if you're so obsessive/compulsive? * Zegon snerks. Is Kilinc summoning his familiar before the game or durring the game? (Once you get your familiar, it's probably not gonna change) I'd say Anarchic, except that anarchic critters often have bits falling off. They're very Not Clean. Could go on the Celestial axis. I figured he'd be too focused on his own well-being to be worrying about imposing anything on anybody...but then again, lawful would work, since he does that that cleanliness personal code thing. Celestial's certainly a possibility. I still say you should consider going Lawful, and taking an Axiomatic Raven. Also, the later you summon your familiar, the better one you'll get. Just a FYI. Yeah. Ah. Well, he doesn't need one now, so I can wait. If you wait until like, level 10, you could summon like, an Axiomatic Celestial Raven. :P * Zegon notes a lot of wizards and sorcs never summon a familiar. ^_^; A familiar is a vulnerability. Stagreiter doesn't have one. Which is why you'll *never* see a dragon with one. Hehehe. How does lawful neutral sound? He's kinda good, but he's not exactly like a paladin in terms of lawful goodness. Wouldn't he be more Neutral Good then? Where does he place his values? Will he help people he doesn't even know, even at his own risk? He's not dedicated to beneficence to others, though... Hm. Not really, especially if he might get sick/dirty. Okay. Does he uphold the laws of society? Or does he ignore them completly? (Or neither? :P) Depends. If the law would make him help get a sick person to a hospital, he'd probably refuse to get near the person to help. Okay, ignoring the whole 'doesn't like sickness' part. He'll help people and stuff if it's not too inconvenient. That's neutral. Or if he's got nothing better to do. That's definetly True Neutral. But he's more likely to help someone than leave them if they seem like they're in a lot of trouble. Well, depending. He sounds like a true neutral person with good tendencies. Yeah, that's what I was thinking. I guess lawful might be okay, though, since he does have his personal code. He doesn't make promises often, but he wouldn't break one he made. What if it ment great sacrifice? Depends how great, I guess. He'd sacrifice stuff for friends. But like, risking his life for a stranger would not be something he'd want to do. And will he willingly break the law just for a small advantage? Or will he make things harder on himself because the law says so? (Does he always obey the speed limit or would he drive 5 mph over to get home faster?) He'd drive 5 mph over, if he was sure it wouldn't get him caught and delay him further. Definitely true neutral. He's true neutral. Okay, cool. * Zegon notes that that's not bad. And that he might change over the course of the game, too. ... Hehe, that's fine. ND> ? What's up, ND? Some fucktard on the GoO boards just referred to "Wizard" as "one of the two most useless classes in the game." o_0 Wha, how? . . . Dude, that's completly untrue. * Cheeseball has never known a useless wizard. Wizards are crazily powerful. (He gets bonus languages equal to the int bonus?) Yes. Okay. Any language? Since he's human, they can be any language. (Except druidic, which is druid only) Okay. I was going to pick a language that had something to do with the type of familiar, but I'm not sure... Draconic would probably be the other one. Draconic's required to get into Dragon Disciple. You must take draconic. I'm requiring it for Draconic Bloodline. :P Also, it's a very common language for arcane casters. Okay. You need Knowledge(Arcana) 8 ranks, Draconic language, at least a level of Sorc (psht) and GM permission. And Zeg added Draconic Bloodline and Enhanced Draconic Bloodline. And the two feats you already have. So make sure you've got max ranks in Knowledge: Arcana. And then next level, you can start tapping into that draconic power. To the tune of +2 Fort, +2 Will, a d6 for HP, and +1 natural armor. And +1 spellcaster level, of course. * Zegon nods. Brb, phone. back Sorry about that. I'm going to give the Draconic Disciple a 7/10 spell progression and the sorc/wizard BAB, though. He's got 8 ranks in Knowledge (arcana), yes. Zeg: Missing progression at levels 4, 7, and 10? Yup. So going three levels in isn't a bad idea at all. Common, Draconic, and ... hmmm. Elvish is always a good choice, as much as I hate to admit it. Yeah. Dwarven and Gnomish will also be useful. * Cheeseball laughs. True... Are Gnomes inventors in your world? Purveyors of knowledge? I've got Dwarvish, Gnomish, and Elvish. Along with Common and Orc and Halfling. Whoa. You're super multilingual. Halfling is a separate language? I thought Halflings spoke Common. Halflings have their own language in 3.5 Gnomes are inventors and spellcrafters, but their biggest schtick is they're good at combining the two for, say, magically powered steam ships. Ahh, okay. combine an Everburning Log with a Decanter of Endless Water and you've got a perpetual motion steam engine. ^_^ I'll give 'im Gnome, then. Exactly. Oh, Maha? Hm? There's a spell in UA that I think he'll want/have. What? It's called 'Hygene'. YES. * Zegon cackles. Level 0 spell, cleans the target completly. Including the mouth. And makes them presentable to company, too. Awesome. He'd definitely have that. I guess I should keep a separate txt file of all the spells and things. (As a side bonus, it gives a +1 save vs disease for one day) Awesome. "Toothbrush of Perfect Hygene" * Zegon laughs. * Cheeseball grins. "Constantly keeps the user of the toothbrush under the effect of the level 0 spell Hygiene." XD Hm, so no bonus spells for level 0, but 1 for both level 1 and 2? Yes. Yep. Level 0 spells are so minor, they get NO BONUSES. List what your focuses are and I'll tell you what spells you get. :P It'd help to know how many spells of each level you get to know, too. That too, yeah. Zeg: Knowledge level 1 should be either Identify, Object Loresight, or Creature Loresight. Or something of my own design in a similar vein. And... Where are Object Loresight and Creature Loresight? They're in... the Book of Eldritch Might. I'm getting details right now. * Zegon doesn't have that book. Still considering the last focus. That's why I'm getting details. ^_~ Healing and Knowledge are the first two. :) If you're going healing and knowledge, I'll pick the last one secretly and leave it at that. 'kay? :P Okay. Creature Loresight you cast it on a creature, or the body of one, to get the following details, one per casting of the spell, skipping any that you already know. 1. Creature's Race or Type 2. Creature's Name 3. Creature's Class 4. How it Died 5. Most recent, basic goal. 6. Attitude towards you 7. Creature that this creature interacted with most recently (other than you) 8. Creature's most valuable possession, if any 9. Location of creature's home or lair, if any 10. Creature's alignment. * Zegon is considering Power Sight, too. What's Power Sight? Which, when cast on a creature, gives you the HD of the creature. Of course, that could just be tacked on to the end of Creature Loresight. Yeah. Creature Loresight is better. MUCH better. My alternate character for The North has it. Object Loresight is pretty much the same as Creature Loresight, except that it tells you about the object's history and the object's first and last and most prominent owner. * Zegon nods. How many spells at each level do you have, Maha? 6/7/5 Goddamn. That's gotta be your spells per day, not your spells known. Yeah. Yeah. What are your spells known? ^^; Oh. Um. Where is that written? Page 54. Oh. Hehehe. 6/4/2 - unless there are bonuses to be added. If you have enhanced draconic bloodline, you add your cha bonus for spells/day to this table as well. So for you and your 19 cha, you'd get an extra level 1, 2, 3, and 4 spells known. Since you can't cast level 3 or 4 spells yet, you just know extra level 1 and 2 spells. So you've got 6/5/3 And only one extra of each of those. Not bad at all. * Zegon hmmms... Okay. Did you decide whether you want Healing or Knowledge to be primary? Okay. The p. 8 bonuses are for spells per day? or spells known? Maha: Both. Not yet. For you, both. Normally, it's just spells/day. Okay, gotcha. * Zegon hmmms... Spells, spells... The basic healing spells are pretty obvious. Yeah. For knowledge... I'd go Creature Loresight and Augury. For levels 1 and 2. You have Cure Minor Wounds, Cure Light Wounds, and Cure Moderate Wounds. Oh, and level 0 is Detect Magic. I was thinking Read Magic. That works, too. Or maybe both. You have both. Which both? :3 Read and Detect Magic. Okay. Other than that... um... * Zegon looks up the Knowledge Domain. They suggest, as clerics, you get Detect Secret doors and Detect thoughts. Eh... Level 0, Prestidigitation is the basic level 0 spell. Maybe Purify Food and Drink? Is that level 0? Creature Loresight's a definet. Err, Definite. Yeah. Get Prestidigitation and Hygiene. Presto, Hygiene, Bandaid, Detect Magic, and Read Magic. Not a bad lineup. Okay. She's got one more spell slot to fill. Which I might take care of myself. Bandaid? Bandaid = Cure Minor Wounds. Heals 1 HP. Hahaha. Zeg: is Purify Food and Drink level 1? er, level 0, I mean. Yeah, it's level 0. Cleric spell. That one definitely fits him. Take that as the last level 0 then. So Prestidigitation, Hygiene, Cure Minor Wounds, Detect Magic, Read Magic, and Purify Food and Drink? Yeah. A solid lineup. Very good setup, actually. And as a sorceror, you can cast any of those up to your spells per day? No preparation? Yup. No preperation at all. Okay, cool. Okay. Got my Level 0's set up. Oh, and Zeg, how are you doing money? You start with the amount listed in the 3.0 DMG. Most items are 3.0 cost and effect. 9k. Okay. :) Hmm. Simple weapons, no armor... * Zegon looks up dragons. What's the difference between a longspear and a spear? * Zegon snickers. What would happen if a red dragon put on a helmet of opposite alignment? Hehehe Maha: A longspear can't be thrown, but it has reach. Longspears are good for sticking someone from 10' away. Reach is good because if people want to charge you, you get an AoO. Oh. Can you still fight them normally in melee? Nope. Oops, fight with them. So you'd have to change weapons? You have to back up 5 ft. and then beat them down. Which can be done provided you have room. Ah, okay. I'm considering the spears, or else a heavy mace or something... Spears are cool. * Zegon likes polearms. A longspear is a bit unwieldy, but it's never a bad idea to carry one, if you can use it. Normal spears, on the other hand, can do just dandy. I figured he might use a spear to keep blood and stuff away from himself as much as possible. Zeg: Did you decide on Maha's other spells yet? Normal spears aren't very useful. ND: Why not? A longspear, though, I think is Simple, and VERY effective. Zeg: Because other weapons in the same class are better. I dunno, all other 2-handed melee weapons deal 1d8 or 1d6 damage. All the simple ones, anyways. Longspears and Spears are the two most effective 2-handed simple weapons. Unless you actually get 2-weapon fighting. (In which case why the hell are you using simple weapons?) Okay, level 1 spells you have are: Cure Light Wounds, Creature Loresight, Acid Orb, and Spiderclimb. And something I haven't decided yet. w00t. You're either Green or Copper, dude. By the way, to use spiderclimb, I'm not requiring you to eat a spider. As then your character would *never* use the spell. Eat live spider = BAD * Zegon notes that he could be Black, too. Blacks have acid breath as well. Blacks don't innately Spider Climb, though. True. You've got a level 1 Wildcard, too, which is always nice. If you run into a ghost or a spectre, you could spontaneously learn to cast MM. Hahahah. X3 Yup. MM? Magic Missile. Oh, okay. XD Deals Force damage, which ignores the 50% miss chance for incorporeal critters. Force Damage is NICE. Force Damage is l337. It's so l337, it's l338. * Zegon laughs. * Cheeseball laughs. * Zegon blinks. Zeg> What do the spells you gave me do? (The ones that aren't in the PHB) Lesser Acid Orb: Throws 1 orb at level one and 1 extra orb for every two levels after (max 5 orbs). You must succeed a touch ranged attack to hit with said orb. If you hit, it deals 1d8 acid damage. Fort save for half. The orbs can be deignated against seperate targets, as well. If so, then the targets must each be within 30 ft of eachother. At level 5, you're throwing three orbs. * Zegon also notes your next level 0 spell will most likely be acid splash. *** Yu-Mei is on IRC * Cheeseball nods. *** Yu-Mei (Yu-Mei@AC9356EE.ipt.aol.com) has joined #Aeoth As for level 2 spells... 'Lo, all. XD 'lo Yu. XD * Yu-Mei tackleglomps Maha. * Cheeseball counterglomps Yu. Yo. I'll give you the option of either Auguary, Locate Object, or See Invisibility. Your pick, 'cuz I'm feeling lazy about it. Augury is l337. Heya, Yubles. What's Augury? Maha: Ask a yes/no question and throw the bones. You've got... a 70% +2%/level chance of getting a correct answer. It can only see forward about a half hour, though. At the GM's option, you can get a short phrase. Oh, neat. :) * Zegon blinks. D'oh, Spider Climb is a level 2 sorc spell. Sorry 'bout that. Oh, okay. What does Locate Object do? Do you see any problem in it being a level 1 spell though, ND? ...bull SHIT it's a level 2 Sorc spell. That's what I thought. Take it as a level 1, Maha. ^_^ * Yu-Mei snickers. * Yu-Mei reads the Draconomicon, too. What the fuck. Spider Climb should in no way be level 2. Okay. :) Zeg> If you're giving him black dragon blood, it'd be hilarious. * Zegon grins. * Cheeseball wonders if that's what Zeg's up to. And you have three level 2 spells. Hmmm... Oh, do sorcs need spellbooks? Nope. Their magic is innate. Okay, thought so. CAn't find Creature Loresight in the PHB. It's not in there. I posted the details in the backscroll. Each time you cast it on a creature or the remains of a creature, you get one of those ten bits of information, in order, skipping the ones that you already know. Ah, okay. Thanks. You have... Cure Moderate Wounds, Auguary (Or Locate Object. I suggest Auguary, myself), and Acid Arrow. Okay Augury, Zeg. You're just a total spelling bandit today. Thanks! * Zegon mangles YET ANOTHER SPELLING! * Cheeseball laughs. And you can customize that Acid Arrow however you want to suit your character, as Melf didn't invent it. He really didn't? <.< >.> Err, He really didn't! Honest! ... * NinjaDebugger STARES at Quintessential Sorceror. They have a sorceror P-class called the "Artillerist" o_0 Zeg> Haha! As a level 2 Artillerist, you can ground zero your spells without taking damage. At level 4, you get to metmagic without taking up extra time. At level 6, you get Improved Metamagic... Zeg> Acid arrow still does the same thing as Melf's, yes? At level 8, you can let your allies ignore your area effect spells, too. Hou. And at level 10, you get the ability to use a move equivalent spell to retroactively Repeat Spell the last area effect spell you cast. Jesus florking christ. Oh, okay, there IS a cost. It's a move equivalent action and you've gotta sacrifice another spell slot of equal or higher level. If you're REALLY good, though, you can use that ability to cast three spells per round. @_@ Hou. Goddamn. I LIKE it. The sorceror P-classes in this book are actually worth taking, without being useless. * Cheeseball boggles. Is that the d20 book? It's d20, yeah. Put out by MGP. Mongoose Publishing. Okay. I think I might have seen it. I might pick it up. Maha: Yes. Acid Arrow == Melf's Acid Arrow. Cool. Are you going to use all those components? What do you mean? * NinjaDebugger snickers at this quote. "The archetypal sorceror functions as a walking artillery piece, coming within arms length of them only to loot their smoking bodies." * Zegon snerks. * Cheeseball snarfs. Zeg> When the spells say they require components, should I actually, like, bags of them ready? s/smoking bodies/smouldering corpses (Er, should I actually have) Maha: Components that don't cost anything you're assumed to have as long as you have a spell component pouch. Maha: It's all wrapped up in a neat little item called a "Spell Component Pouch". Yeah. Unless it's got a GP cost listed. Is that bottomless? Maha: effectively, yes. Awesome. Objects that *do* cost money, though, you need to buy seperately. And for all intents and purposes, yes, until I decide a dramatic moment for it to run out. After which you'll probably be able to do something else. ...ooooh. I _like_ this Sorceror Metamagic option. I like it VERY MUCH. How powerful is it, though? Not very. Well, let's hear it. * Cheeseball eets Jelly Belly jellybeans. :D~ * Cheeseball bought a longspear and a spell component pouch so far. 8990 gp left. When you've rested up, you can spend some time meditating and such to dedicate spell slots to metamagic feats. The spell slot a metamagic feat needs is one of spell level equal or greater than its spell level increase. So, say you know Silent Spell and Empower Spell. You could dedicate 3 level 1 slots to Silent Spell, and 2 level 2 slots to Empower. Ahhh. When you cast a spell, ANY spell, you can burn one of those metamagic slots to spontaneously metamagic the spell you're casting. That's not bad at all. It doesn't raise the casting time, and it also doesn't raise the level. Cool. :D So a sorc could use an Empowered Fireball for the cost of a level 2 and a level 3 slot, rather than a level 5 slot. * Cheeseball tosses an everburning torch onto the equipment list. everburning torches are l337. They are so useful. Once you hit level 10 Dragon DIsciple, though, you won't need one. * Yu-Mei gets back in. "What's this about sorcs with Empowered Fireballs?" 8880 gp remaining. * NinjaDebugger notes one other mechanic that he likes from QS. Ah, I see what you're saying ND. Instead of just having NO spell progression for certain levels of a P-class, why not make those blank levels into Caster Levels that don't give extra spells known or spells per day. It's just +1 caster level. Sounds good to me. Zeg, you gonna use that system for sorcs? * Zegon would rule as a secondary rule, though, that you must be able to cast the metamagic normally. So you wouldn't be able to empower a fireball until you can cast level 5 spells, even though it takes level 3 and a level 2 slots. Awww. ND: That's actually a feature in a lot of 3.5 PrCs. (The secondary rule is to prevent Maximized Empowered Horrid Wiltings) Yeah, that's a common ruling And to keep the level 5 sorc from blowing two level 3's and a level 2 on one fireball of doom. * NinjaDebugger notes that Empower and Maximize were ruled to not stack. Well, you can throw them on the same spell. But the Maximize portion doesn't affect the empowered portion. And vice-versa. You can put 'em both on a spell, but they ruled that you still have to roll the dice, and Empower adds half the dice total. It does make Maximize actually worth having, though. Which is a definite bonus. Yeah. * Zegon considers making celestial warrior and fiendish warrior classes similar to the Dragon Disciple... Not right now, though. Hey Maha, can you take a DCC>? Yep. What'cha got, ND? The Quintessential Sorceror. Guh. o.o It's got all kinds of bitchin' stuff. Maha: What? * Zegon wants to see. He's seen the Quintessential Paladin, and that's a good book too. ^_^ I dunno why it rejected you. Maha: File->Options->DCC OPtions and turn off ignore all. Huh. It's not on ignore all. o.0 Do you have it set to ignore .pdf files? It says file type ignored for some reason. o_o I never set it to do so, though. * Cheeseball checks its options again. It'll do it automatically. Yu has to turn his off every goddamn time I try to send him something. Guh. Okay, now try again. Odd. I don't recall it ever ignoring any DCC automatically before. o_o There's a lot of good stuff in there. Good P-classes, good familiar stuff... Cool, thanks. :3 Eeexcellent. I'm impressed. it's better for Sorcerors than Tome and Blood was. The Quintessental stuff is very good. Granted, they tend to be *very* powerful, too. Artillerist. h_h Like that. Artillerist is h_h. Heehee. It makes my twink muscle spasm mightily. You're gonna get Stag it, aren't you? Nope. Staggy's staying straight Sorc. We're gonna go EPIC! eventually, which means I'll be wanting the extra EPIC! feats that being a Sorc 2X will give me. * Zegon snerks. ...artillerist? Oh, I take it Trotz will be able to take similar feats, then? Yeah. Stag=Kobold char? * Cheeseball chews on ND. Yu: "The archetypal sorceror functions as a walking artillery piece, coming within arm's length of his enemies only to loot their smouldering corpses." Damn right! They get... some frankly BITCHIN' abilities. They can either lower all their metamagic feats by 2 levels, to a min of 1, or lower them by 1 and be able to metamagic without increasing casting time. * Cheeseball needs help picking good equipment. x_X *** Calculus is on IRC Zeg, should we be worrying about food, bedrolls, etc.? Maha: You need... a Ring of Protection +1, an Amulet of Natural Armor +1, Bracers of Armor +2... see if you can get all that, and THEN talk to me. :P Maha: Yeah, but they tend to be chump-change. Chump-change? Also, if you're a crafter, you'll want an appropraite toolkit. Save 100 gold and you should be able to take care of it. Ah, I didn't give him a particular craft yet. Maha: You don't really have to. You've got one of the most marketable skills in the game. :P What's that? Healing and knowledge. two of them, in fact. Ah. Healing and divination. * Zegon nods. Should I switch that to divination? Divination == knowledge? Nah. Leave it. Divination's too broad. Ah, okay. Hm. I don't have an arms/equipment book. Can someone check up the prices for the protection items for me? They're in the DMG. * Zegon notes that Maha's going to be an absolute *tank*. Oh, I don't have the DMG either. The Bracers +2 are 4k. Zeg> You mean a field artillery piece? The Ring +1 is 2k Yu: Maha's char isn't an artillery piece, though. And the Amulet is 2k. SO 8k, for a +1 natural armor bonus, a +2 Armor bonus, and a +1 Deflection bonus. All to AC. IF you want to do that, anyway. It'll give you _some_ protection, though. Sounds good, since he has no armor. 880 left. No armor and no dex. * Zegon wouldn't go with the amulet, in all honesty. Zeg> What would you suggest instead? Maha: http://www.opengamingfoundation.org/srd.html I'd suggest you look through the items yourself. ^_~ A Cloak of Charisma +2 is never a bad idea for a Sorc. For total cheese, you could get a Ring of Sustenance. But that is *total* cheese. Oh, thanks. And you will want a cloak of Charisma +2. Which would increase the DC on your spells. It's asking for a name and pw. ^^ pw? ...what the HELL? Ring of Sustenance is, in fact, cheese. Dunno. It did this last time I was here, too. Everytime I click a link, it asks for a name and password. ? Oh, it's a problem with where you are. Oh, is it? ^^ From what you said, yes. Unless you were referring to "here" as the SRD page. Oh, nope, not unless I click a link on the SRD page. * Zegon thinks Maha might have a web-blocker from her computer/internet access. Oh, wait! I ignored it, and it loaded up, anyway. Hehe. Heh. Just look through and see what catches your eye. The Ring of Sustenance, for those who don't know, negates your need for food and drink, and lets you get the benefits of eight hours of sleep in just two hours. Note that one of the major benefits of eight hours of sleep is having a fresh and rested mind suitable for regaining spells. And for spontaneous spellcasters, the eight hours of sleep just flat out gives them back all their spells. So, a sorc can cast all their spells, rest for 2 hours, and then go spell-crazy again. Yes. And this item costs a mighty 2800 GP. The reason I don't think it was nerfed was because a lot of parties rest between fights, and it's practically useless in combat. Wow. That's... really nice. It's really really really nice. I wish I could have that ring RL. *_* I could get so much more done. * Zegon nod. * Zegon nods. And you wouldn't have to eat or drink either. Ring of sustenance isn't 2500? Oh, it's only 2500. Even better. Hm. I decided to keep the Ring of Prot +1 and Bracers of Armor +@ 2 I don't know if more armor or Cha is more useful, though. Charisma gives you more casts. Zeg: not at this point. He won't get another level 1 spell per day until he hits 22 Charisma. Armor's not bad, then. Where's the listing for amulets? So the only benifit it does is increase the DC on his spells by +1 for all. Maha: Under "Amulet" * Cheeseball didn't see that for some reason. o_X Lemme look again. * Cheeseball can't find it. x_X Oh, and should I get the longspear enchanted or anything, or will it be serviceable enough the way it is? Up to you. You don't have the cash to have it enchanted. But, yeah. * Cheeseball looks it up. Oh. D'oh. Nevermind. * Cheeseball couldn't find the Amulet document but went ahead and took the Natural Armor +1 amulet It's listed under Wonderous Items. ^^; Oh, it's under Wondrous Items. Dhuh. I didn't understand what you were asking. Oh, hehe, sorry. * Zegon looks at the requirements to the PrC paladin. Ride and Mounted Combat ranks? What's up with that? Err, Mounted Combat and Ride ranks? Zeg: Gotta make sure you can use the Mount. I suppose. * Zegon looks at the fractional base bonuses, and how they really help multi-class characters out. * Cheeseball thinks. Craft Wondrous Item is a feat? Espically in the poor saves department. Maha: Yes, but you totally don't want it. It's bad? Item creation, aside from Craft Wand, Brew Potion, and Scribe Scroll, are VERY bad for sorcs. * Zegon nods. You won't have the required spells to make anything. Especially when you don't get to pick your own spells. Ah, okay. And CW, BP, and SS really just give you extra spell slots, which you really don't need. ^_^; I don't really see that much stuff that I both want and can afford. Might I suggest a Heward's Handy Haversack? :P Yes. Dimensional space good. It's just called a Handy Haversack in the SRD. * Cheeseball nods. I was thinking some sort of bag, too. I suggest... Heward's Handy Haversack and the Ring of Sustenance, if you've got nothing better to take. I'll allow it. The Haversack is the second best extradimensional space in the game. I only have 880 gp left, though, if I take the amulet of natural armor. don't bother with the amulet. No amulet? Nah. It's just a +1 AC bonus. You've got plenty of HP, and curing spells. Yeah. It's not really worth it. ^^; You've got Cure Light and Cure Moderate, and a boatload of HP. Oh, and how do the bracers and prot ring factor in when calculating touch and flat-footed aC? You have more HP than the rogue. Hou, okay. The bracers of armor are an armor bonus. Bracers add to flatfooted, but not touch, and the ring adds to both. Ah, okay Ring gives a wai deflection bonus. * Zegon would suggest you pick out a deity, too. ^_^ Zeg: Which deities are available? The Greyhawk ones? Standard PHB stuff. I'm not gonna worry about drastically customizing my own pantheon. 380 gp. Is that enough to buy a handy haversack? No. You need 2k for the haversack. Okay. I ran out of money, then. :) Heh. * Zegon has all his chars start with a haversack, if he can afford it. Maha: Personally, I'd say drop the bracers, just 'cause they're too expensive, and grab the Haversack and some random 2k item in their place. * Zegon nods. Or drop the bracers down to +1, which is only 1k, get the Haversack, and then... oh... hard to say. Something that's 1k or less. Maybe a bunch of potions, or a Wand of something or other. By the way, available deities are: Standard PHB ones, some of the stuff in DotF... And what about a Happy Stick, ND? What does he need a happy stick for? He can cast like, seven level 1 spells per day, and five level 2's. Happy Stick? True. Wand of Cure Light Wounds. Haha. XD Maha: Wand of cure light wounds. 1d8+1 healing per charge, 50 charges for 750 GP. Excellent for paladins and rangers. It's called the happy stick because it's cheap and can be use by anybody who's got a level in Bard, Cleric, Druid, Paladin, or Ranger. Or anyone with Use Magic Device. NO. Not at low levels, at least. UMD has that annoying 5% backfire chance AND it's DC 25 to use a wand. And you can't take 10 or 20. Uhg. Hey Zeg, where'd you hide the Aeoth page? *** Ardweden is on IRC www.ardweden.com/aeoth Okay. Got 1380 gp left. Heh. Tavi's still there. Tavi? Tavi was my halfling rogue made for the original run of Aeoth. http://www.ardweden.com/aeoth/art/tavi.jpg Ah. XD Yu did an _amazing_ job on the armor. ^_^_v He later killed me for making him do studded leater. * Cheeseball nods. That's a lot of studs. leather, even. But that armor kicks a dozen different kinds of ass. * Zegon snickers. None of you are getting a horse, are ya? Horse? Me? I'm a HALFLING. Pony! Maybe. If I got a mount, it'd be a riding dog. But I will not be mounted. I will be springing through the trees with the greatest of ease. You will not hear me. You will not see me. Until I strike. And when I strike, you die. ND> You're playing Tavi? RAWK! Yu: No, I'm not. Tavi had a dog. Aw. * Zegon thinks ND will want a giant monkey for a mount. :P GIANT MONKEY. FIENDISH DIRE APE. *** Calculus has left IRC I'm playing a halfling again, yes. A halfling... "rogue" Can I have an otyugh? :) *** Calculus is on IRC No. They smell bad. Zeg> Kilinc'd probably choose Boccob, if any diety. But they're cute! They are not. c.c Unless he wants to pick a draconic deity, yes. :P Are too! Ooh, Draconic diety. Good call. * Cheeseball digs around in the Draconomicon. Bahamut! XD Draconic Deities (according to DotF): Aasterinian, deity of chaotic dragons. Domains are Chaos and Trickery. Bahamut, deity of good dragons. Domains are air and good. Cronepsis, draconic deity of fate, death, and judgement. domains are death and knowledge. Falazure, Draconic deity of decay, exhaustion, and that kind of shit. Neutral Evil himself, his domains are death and evil. Io, credited as the creator of dragonkind, Io encompasses all aspects and alignments (and has the best domains too). Domains are Knowledge, Magic, Protection, and Travel. * Yu-Mei idles for errand-running. *** Yu-Mei is now known as YuBGon *** Yu-Mei has left IRC Tiamat, the chromatic dragon, credited as the creator of evil dragons. Five-headed, she's lawful evil. Domains are Evil and Law. * Cheeseball nods. None of the draconic gods seem particularly suitable. Tamara, Bahamut, and Aasterinian are maybes. What's DotF, by the way? Defenders of the Faith. It's the closest thing I have to a deity book. ^^; Ah, cool. No worries, hm. The draconic dieties seem pretty racist, so I don't know if they'd like him worshipping them... * Zegon notes that he could either make up a deity of his own or be agnostic. Although being agnostic is kinda odd when preists can be... Pretty convincing there *are* higher powers up there. Hahaha. *** Ardweden has left IRC Mmm, how are the draconic deities racist? (Hasn't read up much on them) I don't think he'd be agnostic, though I see him as being fairly noncommital when it comes to deities. *** Zegon is now known as Zegone Oh, in Draconomicon, it mentions how draconic dieties are very biased toward dragons. Aasterinian will play dangerous pranks on non-dragons, and Io only sides with non-dragons against a dragon if that one dragon threatens the entire dragon species. That's expected of any racial deity. The elven deities behave the same way. True. I'm not sure how they'd view a human with a drop of dragon blood, though. It doesn't seem like non-dragons really worship draconic gods, except for some necromancers and stuff who worship the evil-ish ones. Depends. If he'd drawing closer to his draconic heritage, they'd probably approve of that. Well, kobolds and other draconic species kinda worship them, I guess. Possibly. * Zegone nods. He'd pay some homage to Io, and probably Bahamut and some of the other non-evil draconic deities, but none of them are a perfect fit. Well, I don't plan on the racial deities to be so blind as to ignore the other races: Worshipers equate to power, and everyone wants power. * Cheeseball nods. Anyways, I'm out to do stuff for a bit. ^^ Okie dokie. What's xp for level 5? 10000? Yeah. Yey. I think Kilinc's about done... I think I'll give him a little pointy moustache. Er, beard. Beard. Not moustache. Heh. I might give him a moustache too, actually. A Van Dyke! What's a Van Dyke? It's... it's... GRAH. It's one of those evil looking pointed beard/moustache combos. Shaved cheeks, looks like a goatee but it's got the moustache. That sounds like it might be what I was thinking. Lemme find a pic. Thanks. AHA! Incoming! Though obviously not that exaggerated. But you get the general idea. Hahaha, I was thinking something like that. ^_^_v But perhaps without the parts connecting the moustache and the beard. Is Craft (Alchemy) a useful skill? Or something similar? Not unless you're going to totally focus on it. Overall, Alchemy's not very useful. Okay. Any other Craft that would be useful? Not really. For sorcerors, their most valuable craft is the spells they know. ^_^; Oh...hmm. I'll have leftover skill points if I didn't put some into Craft or Profession or crossclass... Any ideas? OH, Maha... if you want to read that manga, pop over to snoopycool.com and download Yakitate!! Japan. I guess Spot would be in character. What skills do you have? Haha, okay, I will. It's cheesy as hell, and all about bread. Bread!! It has AFRO POWER. Hahaha. :D I have Bluff, Concentration, Craft, Knowledge (Arcana), Profession and Spellcraft. I'm serious. Like, three chapters ago, one of the main characters got an afro. As part of his training. ...are those all at max ranks? Everything but Craft and Profession is at max. Wait, I maxed out Craft, too. So everything but Profession. What's your Craft, though? I haven't decided. ^^ Or your profession, for that matter? I'd say drop 'em both and grab... Spot and Listen are always good candidates. Okay. I'd imagine he'd probably own a little bookstore or curio shop. I stuck the 8 points into Spot. So now he's got a +4 -1 I guess a 3 isn't terrible. Maha: Note that owning property is a big step up from just profession or craft. ^_~ Though if the GM okays it, anything goes. Well, he'd probably run it himself; I'll wait until Zeg gets back. I could exchange the 4 ranks in Spot for profession or something if he likes the shop idea better. * Cheeseball gnaws on ND. +3 is better than -1. * Cheeseball nods. Hell, I'm the rogue and I've only got... +6 Spot and +8 Listen. * Cheeseball grins. Did you name your rogue? Not yet. I'm bad with names. Hehe. :) * NinjaDebugger comes across a decidely odd pic in his random pics folder. "Congratulations! You made Hitler blush like a schoolgirl!" o.o * Cheeseball laughs. Oh, yeah, I wanted to ask you about that fox demon racial class thing sometime. Aheh. Canyonworld starts in an hour or so? If we've got everyone here, yes. ^_^ *** YuBGon is now known as Yu-Mei Re, all. xD Okay. Hiya, Yu. I might go AFK to watch the rest of Dune, then come back for gameage. I think Kilinc's pretty much done. Good! I just want there to be an end to the Kilinc. ;_~ * Cheeseball swats Yu with a newspaper. Haven't come up with a favorite food for him yet...least favorite food is raw oysters and undercooked meat. "I like my meat black, just like my soul." XDD Okay, I'll be back later, then. :) Oh, actually... I'll watch it later. It'd take two hours to watch the whole thing. To watch what? Oh, Dune. Heh. Yeah. *** NinjaDebugger is now known as Kurt Gaming, ND? Yeah. SAB. I've got THREE games tonight. Poor Ard has FOUR. Whoah, All at the SAME TIME. X_x How...? That's insane. I have no idea. Fortunately, most of SAB will be spent in combat, which should leave you free to deal with you-know-who. ;_; She's coming for me! ;_; * Yu-Mei cackles! * Cheeseball laughs. Aren't Tia's parents visiting sometime? Yes, but not this session. :3 Cool. Tia's going to be unhappy tonight, ain't she? Probably! * Cheeseball grins evilly. Yes, yes she will. ^_^; Kenji is in hot watah. Is it wrong of me to be looking forward to this? No, no it's not. XD I have little doubt it'll lead to some VERY good roleplay. Conflict is fun. * Cheeseball grins. *** Zegone is now known as Zegon *** ChanServ sets mode: +o Zegon Yooo. y0000 JO. Yo, Zeg. I think Kilinc's char sheet is just about finished. Zeg> Wanted to discuss some things with you, though. * Zegon looks up. Craft or profession? What's the deal, yo? Yeah, I stuck those extra 8 points into Spot (for his stain-sensing capabilities, heh), but I could put it into Profession if you think it's more appropriate. I'm thinking of making him a book/curio shop keeper. Oh, and I didn't buy him clothes or anything 'cause I assumed you'd just let him have clothes. You get one set of clothing for free. If ya want, it shouldn't be so expensive to buy it. And I probably won't care *too* much, although he might want around 20 different outfits. Well, if he can keep the one clean, it should be fine. Else he'd be changing all the time. To keep the cooties off, you know? * Zegon has played a very hygenic character before. You remember Thalan, Yu? Yes. Took a shower after shaking hands with someone. Crazyman. Well, if he had his way, he'd never shake hands with anyone., * Cheeseball laughs. It's a pity Kilinc only has 6 chances to cast Hygiene per day. Could I, say, give him 10 pairs of gloves? Heh. Thalan had 20, so sure. :P Note that one of the uses of Prestidigitation is to wash clothes. * Cheeseball laughs. (He changed them after *everything*) That's what I'm thinking. He'll have like 10 million pairs of gloves, and at the end of each day, he disinfects them with Prestidigitation. * Zegon snickers. Thalan didn't know magic. So he just used a flamethrower instead. * Cheeseball laughs. XD One time use, then. Unless they're magic, yeah. "Gloves of Impeccable Hygiene" : When the user shakes hands with a person, that person has Hygiene cast on them, with no save. Ooh. Could I get like...gloves of hygiene? Aw, ND got to it first, hehehe. ^_^_v * Zegon snerks. * Zegon doesn't think Hygiene has a save anyways. :D Gloves of hygiene! How much would that cost? Oh, no, Hygiene has a fort negate save. Maha: Look up the "Hand of the Mage" under wondrous items. That's your price, right there. * Cheeseball goes to look it up. 1k. Creatures normally get a fort save to resist. Note that most won't even attempt this, though. :P Awesome. He can afford it. :D * Cheeseball buys it. * Kurt grins. It's... 1k, right? Yup. Yeah, half the price of a continuous level 1 spell, which is 2k. * Zegon would also rule it constantly affects the wearer as well, which the user can surpress at will. Excellent. Hm. Does it affect his clothing as well? Oh, Zeg - any thoughts on the Profession thing? Spot or Profession? :) Spot, so that you can see anybody dirty coming a mile away. ^_~ * Cheeseball laughs! I'm thinking, I'm thinking. Lotsa people are asking me questions right now, though. ^^; Sorry, Zeg. No hurry. :3 Okay, now what. Profession... Sure, you can have a profession and a place. I have no problem with that. Probably get some perks out of it, too. You can put it whereever you want, since I'm not sure what city would be most suitable. What's the profession? And what nationality are you? I haven't decided on nationality, since I can't seem to tell what would be most practical for him. Profession is book and curio shop owner/keeper. (Since he likes collecting interesting items when he travels.) Curio Shop owner/keeper... Hmmm... Oh, and considering his heritage, I'd strongly advise against Inden. Other than that, have fun. ^_^ *** Cheeseball is now known as Tia So, should I give him ranks in Profession or/and Spot with those last 8 skill points, you think? :3 Up to you. Eh, I'll give him a little a both, then. YOU SPICY LITTLE POPTART. * Zegon snickers. * Tia cracks up. ^_^_v * Yu-Mei snerks. *** Tia (kitsuneh@adsl-68-76-217-22.dsl.bltnin.ameritech.net) Quit (Excess Flood) * Kurt snickers. Winamp: Staring At The Sun Winamp: Youth Gone Wild. Heh. You've got Canyon's theme, I've got SAB's. Yup. XD Ataring at the Sun is SAB's theme? ?_? No, it's just VERY appropriate for the group that's playing now. We've got three people macked out with FIRE. Plus Saki. How's Saki fighting? She as dangerous as Red? ;) The fight's just starting. Ah. *** Tia (kitsuneh@adsl-68-76-217-22.dsl.bltnin.ameritech.net) has joined #aeoth So, yeah. I fucked up and forgot Kurt's accurate. If I hadn't, the fight would have been MUCH different. * Zegon nods. You missed all those rolls by 1, right? 1 and 2, generally. Which means Dicey was being a bitch. Because he lurves Kurt. That, and I forgot my goddamn Accurate. :P But I'm gonna take whatever reward we get and start buffing. * Zegon nods. Kawarimi no Jutsu's gonna get another skill level, at least. Miles is gonna take his reward and probably get a pair of spells. But, anyways... Sure, your character can do his thing. With profession. Yey. I gave him 4 ranks, which puts him at a +3. Cool. ^_^ Which is lame, but serviceable. It can probably be attributed to his chasing around customers with disinfectant. X3 * Zegon snickers. Hey, it works. * Tia grins. Oh, I forgot if you've answered this question, but do the hygiene gloves keep his clothes clean, too? YEah. Err, Yeah. *** Kurt is now known as SleepDebugger Ou. So he would be more normal, then, 'cause he'd be constantly clean. What about taking off the gloves, though? He'd be hesitant to take them off...would there be any particular reason he'd hafta? Nite, ND. 'night ND. 'Night, ND. Well, other than it may be rude in some circles to wear gloves, not really. That and delicate work would probably require the removal of gloves. He'd do it if he had to, but he'd put them back on as soon as he could, basically. But yeah, he'll be twitchy if that happens, heheheh. *** Tia is now known as Cheeseball * Zegon snickers. Yu, you drawin' pics for this Aeoth game, too? :DD * Cheeseball wants a shower. Why? Why shower? Yeah. Dunno, hehe. Want to be skweeky kleen. * Zegon snerks. * Cheeseball showers frequently and at odd hours. o_< @_@; Well, not obsessively, as Kilinc might, but dry weather makes me feel gross often. x_X;; That's his name? Kilinc? Oh, yep. Did I forget to mention that? ^^ Kilinc Alcrere. ^^ * Cheeseball waits for Yu to crack a joke. Who is Alcrere and why are you Kilinc him? ;P * Cheeseball grins. I knew I could count on Yu. Zeg> What's a good-sized town that he might want to live in, where there'd be a nice library or something? * Cheeseball opens up the Aeoth page and ponders nationality and things. * Zegon hmms... * Cheeseball gives Zegon points for naming a place Daedra. Osis, Everon and New Anbor would be likely candidates. If you're from Hadoc, I'd suggest Balek or Anstalf. * Zegon blinks. What about Daedra? Did I mess up on something? No, I'm giving you points because its cool. Ah, okay. ^_^; (Demons in Elder Scrolls were called daedra. ;3) I've basically used a random word generator to make these, switching letters around to make them sound better. Aha, excellent. * Yu-Mei snickers. * Zegon does note that Pelharl *is* coincidence. Pelharl? By the way, what was wrong with Inden again? City up on the north-west coast. Indens are, generally, Human Superiority types. Ah, okay. What does Pelharl coincide with? It's at the bottleneck between Gisal and... Ah, crap, I forgot what the northen continent was named. Where're Osis, Everon, and New Anbor? * Cheeseball found Anbor. Oh, wait. There's Everon. Derr, and New Anbor. So Osis is the only one I can't find. Wait! Found that one too. I am TEH LAME. The map's a little big, I know. ^^; Nah, it's okay. I think it's just my optical centers going *ptzzzzfizzztiredcrunch*. ^^; * Zegon snickers. Well, I'll have descriptions of the cities up soon. As well as a political map. Generally, though, the natural boundries determine the countries. * Cheeseball votes for New Anbor, since it's by the ocean or other water body. Sea may be the term you're looking for. Is New Anbor in...Morn? Ah, sea. Yes. Ah, that's the name of the northern continent. Eteru. New Anbor is in Eteru? No, no. That's the rest of the Empire. Oh, okay. :D The continent that's *not* Gisal. So, Morn? I'm thinking yes, Morn. Aha, okay. So mostly elves there, right? Also, what would you call people from Morn? Mornese? Mornish? Mornan? Morns or Mornesse. Ah, okay. :3 I guess Kilinc's Mornese, then. And remember: Halflings can be anywhere. ^_^; Aha. ;3 *** Cheeseball (kitsuneh@adsl-68-76-217-22.dsl.bltnin.ameritech.net) Quit (Ping timeout) *** Disconnected *** Attempting to rejoin... *** Rejoined channel #Aeoth *** Topic is 'Welcome to Aeoth, where gamage will start eventually but not yet.' *** Set by Zegon on Fri Mar 12 01:04:03 *** Cheeseball (kitsuneh@adsl-68-76-217-22.dsl.bltnin.ameritech.net) has joined #aeoth *** Dicesuke (dice@ip68-13-175-200.om.om.cox.net) has joined #Aeoth * Cheeseball returns. x_X IRC kicked me.

And yes? What do you want to play? What are other people playing? Ah. This is not Cham's char, then. * Tia is playing a Sorceror. 'Lo, Maggie. ^_^ Halfling rogueses! * Yu-Mei is playing a shyguy with a sword. We currently have a sorc that thinks she's a cleric, a barbarian with a tone of int, a halfling rogue. With the one ring of invisibility! He, Zeg. He. Did you ever decide whether or not to allow bloodlines? If I did, what would you be? cloud giant fighter intermediate o_O O_o * Zegon doesn't know if he'll even HAVE cloud giants in the game. ^^; Cloud giant fighter. ... Any giant would do, really. I'm a fan of bloodlines. Why not just play an Ogre? :P Ogres are sexy. An actual ogre, not like, a half ogre. I was working under the assumption that only basic races were allowed. You can be just about anything as long as you get the 'okay' from me. Ooh, don't say that. I cover my bets with the 'okay' part. :P ...Maggie, you're reminding me of Ars. Maggie's really not a powergamer...she just likes, you know, flavor. Flava. So you're gonna play a Grey Ooze fighter? That might be too much flava. Well... What are you going to be? And what class? ^_^ Better question... what would you LIKE to be? :P ... Yes, that is a better question. I'd like to be a fighter or a monk. Fighter it is. (Monks don't exist. This is not the monk you are looking for.) Of course. Not a fan of the monks, eh, Zeg? So bloodlines or no? Well... Monks *do* exist. Just not too much. If she really wants to play a monk, I won't keep her. But... She'd better stay in her alignment. Yalie has that problem. the original Aeoth had trouble with a monk. ^_^; He plays a monk who likes booze and cockfights. A monk who wanted to steal horses. * Tia laughs. No, really. He rented a horse and then tried to sell it. But I can go fighter. It's been a long time since I have played a fighter, so it will be fun to get back to my roots. Wow, that's amazing. That might be worse than Yalie. So if no giants, are there at least elementals in the game? I mean, there's really nothing wrong with a drunken monk. There IS a drunken master class, you know. He plans to prestige to it in a few levels. Mmm... But still, cockfighting? I'm going to say 'no' to bloodlines. ^^; Oh poo. And I suppose I can't just play a giant? ... No. Zeg: at least she hasn't asked for the Oath of Poverty for a Forsaker. Or an elemental? Also no. Certainly not at the level we're starting at, no. And I am NOT allowing Oath of Poverty. Oath of Poverty? Word, Oath of Poverty? Because, to be honest, I have no idea where the heck it's from. It's from the Book of Exalted Deeds. So the Book of Exalted Cheese? Oh, okay. I haven't looked at that book. What about dwarves? Does this bizarre and forsaken kingdom have dwarves? Yes. Lots of them, actually. Although the're more common on the eastern coast. Can I be an effeminate male dwarven fighter? Actually, no. The only thing in there that's horribly broken is the Oath of Poverty. It's intended for PC use, so it can't be utterly broken. Ah, right. Not like the BoVC. VILE CHEESE! And even the Oath of Poverty isn't really HORRIBLY broken. You actually come out less powerful than you probably would if you had all your items. Unless you're a soulmech monk in dragonstar... Yeah, well... Almost anything can be broken in the right circumstances. *** Maggie5 is now known as Maggie I mean... Monk/Forsaker is pretty powerful on its own. Yeah. Your saves go through the roof. * Maggie throws a temper tantrum. Hee. :) * HKenji throws a Maggietantrum. It's WAKA LAKA TIME! * HKenji throws Maggie at Tia. That is even worse! * Tia ducks. @_@ I'm bigger than she is. I could smoosh her. True, that. I'm not very resistant to smooshing. Luckily, I have this ring of Smoosh Resist 10/anvils You can have it for a small fee. WAKA LAKA TIME! WAKA LAKA MAKE YOU FLY! Does Maggie need... WAKA LAKA? Do you even have to ask? Tia! GIVE MAGGIE WAKA LAKA! That sounds so bad. I'm sure than wasn't by accident. Oy. * Tia plays Waka Laka. * Maggie cowers in abject horror. * HKenji snickers. WAKA LAKA MAKE YOU FLY! * Tia grins. WAKA LAKA MAKE YOU FLY! Play Kompressor for her. KOMPRESSOR DOES NOT DANCE! KOMPRESSOR DOES NOT DANCE! She doesn't have it with her, unfortunately. Fortunately for me, I would wager. I can always send it. o/` You are pure evil. o/~ YOU LIKE TO EAT THE RAVE DRUGS, YOU GET MORE ENERGY. YOU THINK IT'S WORTH THE MONEY, BUT WE DO NOT AGREE! o/~ Hey, ND... ;_; My bow will ignore their Damage Reduction, won't it? Nein. HAHA. KOMPRESSOR DOES NOT DANCE. Wait, you've got that wacky force bow, don't you? * Zegon nods. Turns your arrows into force effects? Yup! Um... I'd have to say no. Awww, why not? Or maybe yes. Fuck. I'd need the whole text, word for word, of the goddan bow. What book is it in? Arms and Equipment Guide. I would also like to know. Seeing as I'm running the game. c.c It specifically says that the arrows bypass DR. This +2 Mighty (+3) composite longobow imbues each arrow shot from it with magical force. Arrows shot from it become force attacks that have no miss chance against incorporeal targets and bypass damage reduction, but they don't damage creatures immune to force effects. "Arrows shot from the bow have no miss chance against incorporeal targets and bypass damage reduction but they don't damage creature immune to force effects." Alright. "bypass damage reduction" means bypass damage reduction. *** CheeseAFK (kitsuneh@adsl-68-251-144-197.dsl.bltnin.ameritech.net) has joined #aeoth *** Tia (mahamari@adsl-68-251-144-197.dsl.bltnin.ameritech.net) Quit (Quit: Switching computers. ^^) *** CheeseAFK is now known as Tia The 6 fire reduction bypasses the DR even if his pickaxe doesn't.

So, you want to make a dorf fighter? (We could always use a dorf fighter) Yes, that's what I want. Woot! Dorfs are the best. And by dorfs, I mean dorfs with storm giant major bloodline? Or not. Ah, what the hell. You can take the bloodline. I expect backstory, though. ~_^ Woah, really? * Zegon isn't terribly familiar with giants. Awesome You have UA? Great. Poor Kard's gonna be the only one without a bloodline. ;P Just glance at the major bloodline perks for storm giant and make sure you're okay with it. Kilinc's just there for flava. And humor, I guess. ;P Yu: not true. ND's char doesn't have a bloodline. I will definitely not have a bloodline. * Zegon hmmms.. A mainline, maybe, but not a bloodline.

Unfortunately, none of you know jack about religion, so.... Nah, in BH, Karasu is my deus ex machina. Augh. Religion. Aheh. So we laugh at you! I totally don't have the skill points to get Knowledge: Religion. :P Kard does. ;P ...in fact, he's already got two ranks. HA. Ah, so he might know *something* about it. Okay, other things are... We're morphing the DnD pantheon around a little. Uhoh. Fiddling with custom pantheons is lots of hastle. Take it from me. I know. We've already begun work on it. And we're simplifying things by saying it isn't a complete pantheon. How, not complete? Are some of the gods dead or something? God is dead. No. Basically, there's just a lot of gods. People don't bother with most of them, generally. All the ones in the book will still show up. * Zegon nods. Ah. So some of the gods are minor/local/obscure? Either that or people just don't bother with them. Ah. So St. Cuthbert's still God of Common Sense, just nobody listens to him? ;P Actually, St. Cuthbert's pretty big. (Fortunately, none of you are using domains so I don't have to work those out) St. Cuthbert's freaking scary. @_@ He *is*. You sure?

Re, ND. And it's okay. It's cool. Was just wondering what I did, which turns out to be nothing. ^_~ Nothing. Y'all didn't do anything. I'm just dangerously unbalanced and should probably kill myself before I kill the people around me. Oh hey. I should start a club. ^^ * Zegon snickers. I think he's referring to his character, though. His character's a club? What? ND: It'll be okay. I seriously suggest seeing a psych, but you probly won't do that. Actually, I'm referring to myself. And I've been to see shrinks before. I spent grades 7-10 seeing them every week. I meant seeing a shrink when you're willing to let them help. Did you work with them? Or did you go sit in their office and stall for an hour? Not only can I not afford one, I don't WANT to see one, because quite frankly, they can't do a goddamn thing but medicate me, and I refuse to be medicated again. No, I actually, honest to goddess worked with them. ONce they got me to one that actually figured out how to open me up. Looking back, I see how utterly transparent it was, but then, hindsight is 20/20 and all. Psychologist. Not psychiatrist. ^^; Psychiatrists are the ones who do the medicine thing. I did both. A psychologist for therapy and a psychiatrist for medication. I'm not seeing a psych right now, actually, and I really *should*, but I'm too freaked about calling her back. ^^;; The psychologist is actually the guy who got me into D&D. ^_^; D&D saves lives! It does, really. DnD is a friend to small children! It's an inherently social hobby, which makes it VERY good for therapy. d20 is more than just a random number. ^_^ Yeah. It's got a letter in it, too. * NinjaDebugger scraps this character. Okay. So, I need to come up with something else. Well... What are you considering now, ND? > Let's see... ? We need a rogue. ! Tavi? We don't have a rogueish person. Or a nukemastah. Tavi ownzored. Or a cleric, but you have a sorc to do that. Which would you prefer? Honestly? Anything will do. You don't have a rangery person, either. Goddess knows, if you want me to play an artillerist, I can. Make a bard. :P * Zegon snerks. You already got one of those. No, no I don't think so. * Yu-Mei snickers. "Believe him, he can." Actually, I don't. Unless Kenji leaves. A Bardicus would be awesome. I'll even let you Mixmastah. Isn't Stag pretty much an Artillerist? No. No bardicus. Sorry. Staggy's not an artillerist. if Staggy was an Artillerist, he'd kick even MORE ass. * Ardweden makes a bardicus, infiltrates your group, and destroys you all! Yay! EVIL BARD! WOOT. There need to be more evil bards. PRESTIGE CLASS: FAST TALKER. * Zegon nods. I'm sorry, but I'm just not up to playing a bard. P-class: Confidence Man. We're just teasing. ^_^ I knew you wouldn't. ;P Well, let's see... * Zegon snerks. Could be a swashbuckler. Avast! Arr! Okay, the three concepts up for consideration right now are Artillerist, Rogue, and Buckleswasher. We have no real social person either. Start with buckleswasher. What are the pros and cons? Buckleswashers can tank decently, but they do good consistant damage. Add your strenght *and* int bonus to damage and you'll see what I mean. Err, strength. However, they lack sneaky skills. Also, you'd have no nuker. It'd also make sense for them to be charismatic. We'd have no nuker, and we'd have at least two fighters. You'd have three fighter-types. Kard's a barb, ne? Three. So we'd be HEAVILY overbalanced towards the fighter types. Kard's a barb with a level of fighter, yes. So that's right out. In a small group, we can't afford to overbalance like that. * Zegon nods. Shades of CW, actually. I'd suggest a nature-person. Maybe the wilderness rogue or urban ranger. * Zegon hmmms... Wait. Urban Ranger doesn't give you survival. ^^; Screw that. Rangers rule. ^^ They *do*. Druids are keen, too, I'd like to say. What, Urban Ranger doesn't let you survive by digging through other people's garbage? * Zegon nods. Lame. Like Chomei! Yes! I'd actually say Wilderness Rogue looks good. You lose Appraise, Diplomacy, Decipher Script, Forgery, and Gather information. We could use a Smirking Sneak Thief, sure. In exchange, you get Handle Animal, Knowledge(Geography), Knowledge(Nature), Ride, and Survival. In addition, you can get woodland stride, camoflauge, and hide in plain sight as special abilities. (Hide in Plain Sight requires Camoflauge as a prereq) No. I pointed this out to Yu when we were discussing a new character for CW. Playing a scout in an online game means one of two things. 1) The party stands around a lot while you do your stuff. 2) You stick with the party and don't get to use any of your skills. Ah, true. So... no. Those are both cons that outweigh all other considerations. This is very true. No, I haven't seen this happen before. REALLY. If I'm going to make a rogue, it's probably going to be a visible one. The charismatic rogue? The kind that doesn't hide, but is NEVER SURPRISED. * Zegon snerks. So... Well, if you did that, you could even forgo your SA for bonus fets. Err, feats. Sadly, the number of good rogue P-classes that don't involve hiding is 0. ... Well... We could always change that. Hell, you could make a variant core rogue. I'm searching through books for something usable right now. I'd be surprised if there's no variant rogue in UA. * Ardweden yawns. I'm thinking Blademaster, for some reason. Dunno why. Hidden Blade. Bah, whatever it's called. * NinjaDebugger arghs. Not a goddamn thing. UA has one variant rogue. The wilderness rogue. Not that different from the normal rogue, though. * Zegon hmmms... ND *could* make a Hexblade. Yeah, you posted that up above. Still with the "scout" thing. Hexblade? Hybrid fighter/sorc with curse powers. It's in... TCW. Not exactly the best of the core classes. But still usable, and fairly interesting. Ehn. It'd probably work better as a PrC, though. Magic Knight. XD *Could* do Magic Knight. (Which is just psionic warrior turned magic. :P) That's the whole point, really. But... bah. I'm stuck in a rut, and everything seems pointless. Eh. That'll change. Yup! * NinjaDebugger makes a thief who's taken a vow of poverty. :P Didn't I already say no Vow of Poverty? ^^; Yeah, but only because you don't have the book. :P * NinjaDebugger was joking, anyway. Though it might be interesting. What's this about a vow of poverty now? Ard: It's something out of the Book of Exalted Deeds. Okay? YOu give up all material possessions beyond basic clothing and (maybe) a hat. Hat! Actually, I think you give up all masterwork and magic items. Amounts to the same thing lateron. And in exchange, you get massive innate abilities to make up for the fact that you don't get to use ANY magic items. * Ardweden nods. Really, though, all the innates don't make up for the fact that you lose out on all those items. It's really powerful in the wrong hands, like say, a Fighter/Forsaker with a vow of poverty. Where you get TWICE the benefits for giving up magic items. Yeah. Hrm. Now THAT's an idea. Eh? Zeg: Take rogue. Pretty much as-is, really. Replace sneak attack with tattoos. ... Heh. Unfortunately, that really just ends up being a crappy version of Monk->Tattooed Monk. Yeah. I think the Rogue with SA replaced by feats isn't that bad. It's basically the dexterity fighter pushed to the extreme. It's fighter with lots of skills, basicaly. But I _really_ like magical tattoos. As they're implemented in L5R, I mean. I'm trying to get away from L5R and Rokugan. No offense. ^^; No, no. Magical tattoos as a concept are something that can easily be separated entirely from Rokugan. They show up in standard fantasy all the time, in fact. But that's okay. * NinjaDebugger keeps thinking. * NinjaDebugger cries. ;_; Wait, why cry? He can't think up a concept that he wants to play. Because I'm goddamn frustrated. And that too. Every time I think of something, it sucks, or is too powerful, or is AUGH. Don't worry about it being underpowered, at least. You'll probably be fine with whatever you pick. Druidic Avenger! ... That's cool. It's druid. WITH RAGE! "Mess with my forest and DIE." * Ardweden liked the idea of Sam being a druidic adventure. Fear the cute little raging gnome! Avenger. That was a nice little Freudian slip thar. That'd rock. ... Basically, druids trade their animal companion and spontaneous casting abilities for rage and faster movement. They also get intimidate instead of diplomacy as a skill. And yes, this means you can rage. As a grizzly. Seems like everything that pops into my head, I've done. Because what all grizzly bears need is 4 more STR. No. All Dire Bears need +4 strength. DIRE BADGER! This is also true. What classes haven't you played, ND? (If any.) ... Short list, wasn't it? :P Bard? Oh. You've done bard too, huh? ;P I HAVE played one. I just won't do it again. Okay, okay. Maybe... * Zegon hmmms... * NinjaDebugger plays a half orc sorceror with 11 charisma. I won't stop you, but I don't think you should. :P No, I've done that, too. Well, if you want to try using a non-standard race... Such as? Let's see... Apart from the standards, I'll allow the variants in the book, as well as pretty much any humanoid that will fit in the ECL. Also, templates are available too so if you wanted to play, say, a werewolf. Oh, and were-creatures default to True Neutral alignment when the person accepts being a lycanthrope. Mmm. What if you accepted being an evil lycanthrope? If you were evil before, you're forced to True Neutral. Aww! However, once you go to true neutral, nothing says you won't change to something else. :P I have hair! I have hair too! Yay! We have something in common! So what the fuck. I have no goddamn idea. Fucking useless, that's me. Well, let's see.... *** Darkheart is on IRC Ever make a gnome druid? They're fun. ^_^ Been there, done that. I've done gnomes in and out. And upside down, too. Considering you can make about 128371 variations of fighter... * Zegon snerks. Divine Bard. *hides* If I was going to make a bard, I'd make a Sorceror/Virtuoso instead. :P Paladin of Freedom. Okay, sorcs should *not* be able to get into the Virtuoso prestige class. That *bothers* me. And, yeah. I don't have the book, but a prereq to get the Virt PrC *is* bardic music. Because I say so, dammit. Zeg: It's not, for some ungodly reason. And it gives 1/1 spellcasting progression. Oh, that's right. So it's better for sorcs than for bards. No. In this world, it is. Yeah, yeah, I know. And, also, Bard's *already* a PrC, so... That was the writers being sloppy and not considering that someone would go into an obvious bard prestige class under some other class. Like how a cleric could become a demon hunter with 1/1 spell progression. ;P badly edited books? WotC? NEVAR! Yup! Ehehe! ME SPEAK ENGLISH BAD! THAT UNPOSSIBLE! * Ardweden kicks Kevin out the window. * NinjaDebugger whips out BESMd20 and runs a Dynamic Sorceror. x.x * NinjaDebugger is kidding, obviously. * Zegon snickers. Nature Bard. Yeah. You'd so go for schoolgirl instead. Yeah, really. I'd totally make a halfling magical girl. That'd be so damn cute. And give it pink hair? >.> YES. SO DAMN CUTE! BUT WHAT IS IT? A halfling magical girl with pink hair? Evil! And, um, if you were going to make a Magical Girl... * Zegon thinks you could re-vamp that Mage-knight class to do that. :P * Ardweden gets Sailor Moon music. Metamagic increases spell casting to one full round action, and require a change in verbal and somatic components. Namely, you have to pose a lot and spout lots of situation-fitting garbage about love and peace. I suggest you invest some in a Fortune Cookie of Instant Wisdom. A command word causes it to spew out a passage that gives you +4 circumstance bonuses on Wisdom checks? Yup! But it doesn't spew it. *You* have to spew it. So you look into the cookie, feel compelled to add the message, and get a +4 circ. bonus. However, you have to make a Will save to *not* add "in bed" at the end, thus ruining your chances. *** Yu-Mei is now known as YuBGon *** Yu-Mei has left IRC Food time. Later, y'all! * YuBGon run off, go eet. I... I have nothing. Let it sit for a while. I usually go for days or weeks without any clue. ^^; * NinjaDebugger goes to take a nap. Maybe that'll help. IM if a mini or something runs, mmkay? I could use a good game tonight. Pika? GO TAKE A LEEKA! Mmm sure, ND. *** Ardweden is now known as Ardsemidle *** Ardweden has left IRC And Maha has declared her readiness for mini. >.. * Zegon still doesn't have any sheets. ^^; CW mini, Zeg. Not A2. Ah. ^_^; Though I am leaning towards taking that featy rogue. * Zegon nods. If nothing else, I can be stupid and take like, scads of skillboost feats and shit. I'll suck at combat, but what the fuck. Here is Belladonna, the Lady of the Rocks, the lady of situations. Here is the man with three staves, and here the Wheel, and here is the one-eyed merchant, and this card, which is blank, is something that he carries on his back, which I am forbidden to see. I do not find the Hanged Man. Fear death by water. You love that. @_@ I do. "The Earth quakes and the Heavens rattle; the beasts of nature flock together and the nations of men flock apart; volcanoes usher up heat while elsewhere water becomes ice and melts; and then on other days it just rains. Indeed do many things come to pass." Huh. Whelp. A decent thief P-class that doesn't involve such tomfoolery as Hide and Move Silently. And it was right under me fuckin' nose. Which one? Thief-Acrobat. * Zegon snickers. The prereqs are even manageable. What're they? And what's the class do? Nonlawful, evasion, 8 ranks each of balance, climb, jump, and tumble. And membership in the local thieves' guild. Very doable for a rogue. And, that last bid you can even have in your bio. They get... well, basically they get the ability to move. Like, fast, and anywhere they damn well want, at full speed, while fighting. What do they give up? They only get +2d6 sneak in all ten levels of the class. Ouch. In spite of having a class ability that exists solely to allow them to sneak on demand. That may be why, actually. Pretty much. Let's see... Normally you'd get 5d6 over the 10 levels. Yeah. Do you have song and silence? It's right in there. Page 20. Oh, and they get 2 less skill points per level. They get: I don't have S&S. Kip up, unbounded leap, fast balance, improved trip, improved evasion, slow fall, defensive fighting bonus, cartwheel charge, fast climb, prone defense, defensive roll, move anywhere, and fight anywhere. So they get at least one ability every level? Not bad. How are they? "how"? Powerful? Well, powerful and/or cool? They don't suck. They're nowhere near as powerful as any of the hide-based p-classes, at least, not combat wise. They're very buckleswashy, what with being able to fight normally while hanging from a rope, climbing a wall, or dancing on a dinnertable. Oooh, I like that. ^_^ Reminds me of Dervish and Duelist. They have d6 HD? Yeah. * NinjaDebugger blarghs. I can't remember any of the creation stuff. What do you mean? Points for stats, starting level, starting gold, etc, etc. *** Calculus is on IRC *** Rowyn is on IRC *** YuBGon is now known as Yu-Mei *** Yu-Mei is on IRC Re, all. Re, Yu. * Zegon looks in. Oh, that. Level 5... I think 40 points for starting stats, and standard starting gold for a level 5. In general, use 3.0 prices even though we're using 3.5 rules everywhere else. mmmmsmmsmsmsmsy. For level 5s, you start with 9k. Yum. * NinjaDebugger wonders whether he should invest in the lockpicks of the master thief, or the lockpicks of speed. *** Zegon is now known as Zegone I am... unusually tired tonight. Get more sleep. ^_~ Can't. I might miss mini. Mini? You mean the one I mentioned for Canyons? Or is there another mini running tonight? Yeah. Mini. If one runs. No, the one you mentioned. Ah. If it's that important to you, I'll not run without you. I could really use some game tonight, that's all. I don't want to be me anymore. Ah. And roleplay is easier than self-improvement. ;) Escapism always is. I know that! Always. * Yu-Mei nods. "Yup. 'S why it wasn't a question." ^_~ Robin Strickland, Lord of the Perpetual Daydream, is no stranger to escapism.

I have teh boots, too, AND I've got 3337 GP left to spend. Sweet. I could spend 2k of that on enchanting both armor and cape, and have precisely 1337 GP left. l33t. :P Or, 1337 But then I'd promptly spend some more on mundane equipment. Yeah. I'd guess you'd have a good amount of that, actually. Which means I oughta get a haversack, really. And surprisingly, I won't have an amazing amount of mundane gear. Heh. What's her strength? 14 Ah, so she's not that bad. Not at all, no. Gotta have a least 10 strength to not suck at Climb, remember. ^_~ Heh. ~_^ Mmm, leafweave armored cape and darkleaf chain shirt. h_h So... how high in magic is this particular world, Zeg? Depends on where you go. For the most part, it's common but not so common everyone can do it. There are scholastic schools dedicated to the study and such. And, I gotta install my computer. So... *** Zegon (Psychopath@c-24-15-245-98.client.comcast.net) Quit (Quit: Zegone!) Och. *** Zegon (Psychopath@c-24-15-245-98.client.comcast.net) has joined #Aeoth On second thought, it's not likely I'll get it done in time for EW2. So I'll leave it to Sunday or Monday to do. You've got an hour and a half. For all the drivers and installation, it'd take at least two hours. ^^; Heh. Ouch. The OS is installed already, though, which is a good thing. And... *starts writing more on Aeoth backstory* Well, what would you reccommend? +1 on the armor and cape? Haversack? Something else entirely that I haven't noticed? * Zegon hmmms... No +1 weapon yet, ne? Nope. But then, I don't need one if I'm operating in a group. Masterwork weapons at least? Might be nice, but I don't have 'em yet. Well, the +1 to-hit I always find helpful. I could go +1 each on the armor and cloak, and get all three of my weapons masterworked. All three of my primary weapons, anyway. Hmmm... You could get the armor glamoured. Nope. I'm about 400 GP short. Gotta buy a +1 first, which would leave me with 2337. Glamoured isn't a +1 equivalence anymore, remember? No, it just costs 2700 GP. :P Ah. ^^; *** Zegon is now known as Zegone My eventual ambition is to have +5 armor (with greater fortification), +5 cape (with elemental resistances and resistance bonuses to saves), and a +5 Grasping, Disarming, Defending spiked chain. "Your AC is WHAT?!" *eyes this* Okay... so a Hat of Disguise++ (Alter Self instead of Change Self) would cost... 18000 GP. *** Rob has left IRC *** Rob is on IRC *** Zegone is now known as Zegon *** ChanServ sets mode: +o Zegon Oh, ND? If you want to use the spiked chain at the same time as the 'shield', you can't. Since the chain's 2-handed and the shield would use an arm. Same with using weapon finesse. You'd take the standard penalty for using a shield. * NinjaDebugger notes that the standard penalty for using a shield during finesse doesn't apply, given that said penalty is that your armor check penalty applies to your to-hit rolls. And said "shield" has no armor check penalty. :P Ah, point. The part on the spiked chain still stands, though. ^^; I remembered there was a penalty, I just didn't remember *what* it was. On the other hand, I _do_ want to be able to use it while using the spiked chain. Which means some alteration of the rules needs to happen. Or maybe I'll just suck it up. Flourishing a cape while using the chain would look pretty silly, not badass. Exactly. BUT. It _should_ function like a buckler in that even if you're not using it for the AC bonus, any special properties still apply. That won't have any real effect until I manage to get it upgraded somehow, maybe by doing a favor for a wizard, but hey. Well, yeah. Luckily, cloaks share the protection domain with armor and shields. *flourish* * Zegon snickers. So, here's the rub. My current forerunner for what to do with all this money I've got is... 1) +1 each on cape and armor, and 2) A Plume of Panache Plume of Panache? It's a big red feather designed to be worn in a hat, redmage style. It continuously has a Prestidigitation effect set for Clean and Dry, and uses it every few minutes on the wearer's clothes. Uses up the Hat slot. Ah. You could just have it constantly do Hygiene instead, ne? But, no, that wouldn't cover dry. Does that clean your clothes, too? It makes you, and I quote, 'Presentable for company'. So I'd think so. Ah, okay. Which means it probably WOULD cover Dry. *** Yu-Mei is on IRC Wait, yeah. It's a level 0 effect, its effect should be greater than another 0 spell because it's more specialized. Yep. Presti's gotta split it up because it's a general spell. Versatility at the cost of immediate power. So it _should_ be 900 GP. *** Yu-Mei (Yu-Mei@AC8B55CD.ipt.aol.com) has joined #Aeoth Heya, Yubles. j00000. We're just discussing the Plume of Panache. Whazzat? It's a big feather intended for wearing in a hat, and it casts Hygiene on demand. SO you're always clean, dry, and ready to go! * Yu-Mei laughs. "Sounds good to me!" With sparkling teeth, even. Sounds dashing! And epic! And daring! Yep. She's gonna look rather a lot like Redmage, only dressed in green, with long red hair. No professional buckler of swashes is complete without it. *grin* *ting* O I'd give Xiv one, but her hair would eat any hats she put on. And I've got a magical cape that I can flourish and block attacks! HA. Well, you can just get it transferred to another item, Yu. :P My AC gets 3 points better when I use my rapier or whip, because I can flourish my cape to block attacks. ^_^; True. Or she can learn it as a spell-like ability. I thought you used a spiked chain, tho? Or have you changed to a whip? I should also note, tho, that THAT IS SO COOl. ^_~ She uses... let's see... spiked chain, rapier, whip, dagger, and finger claws. And she's quite good with all of them. @_@ She got finger claws? :P Zeg: Hell yes! Kard just has his sword. He's so plain. You said I get three weapon groups plus Simple, so I took Flails & chains, Exotic flails & chains, and claws. Actually, Exotic, the way the book's written, applies to all weapon groups you know. Same with Two-weapon exotic. ...really? Read it. :P So I get flails & chains, claws, and exotic on both. Goddamn. Yup. This system is *very happy* to the exotic weapons master. What weapons are in exotic claws? Bladed gauntlets, claw bracer, panterh claw, stump knive, tiger claws, ward cetus. Err, panther. Huh. Tiger claws and panther claws sound interesting, I must find the description on those. Arms and Equipment guide. And the Finger Claws would just be used to cut stuff, right? :P Finger claws are... clawed gauntlets, out of QRogue. They're 1d4 damage, 10/x3, +1 to climb checks. Panther Claw is a +4 to disarm while using 'em, which is kinda nice. er, 20/x3 on that threat range, actually. 10/x3, heh. That'd be... odd. You crit-threat on 10 only. :P Clawed gauntlets are basically Panther Claws without the disarm bonus and with a climb bonus. * Zegon looks up their description. Functionality be damned. Tiger claws are really a monk weapon. Panther Claws are kinda cool, though, and I DO have access to 'em. * NinjaDebugger adds 'em to the massive list of weapons. Goddess, I might qualify for Exotic Weapon Master at this point. :P You got a mighty whip dagger? ;) Nope. My whip is for when I _don't_ want to hurt things. Ah ha. When I want to hurt things, then I bring out the rapier or the spiked chain. * Yu-Mei nods. You can still use a Might Whip, however. Err, Mighty. A mighty +2 whip would cost me... an extra 200 GP. I suppose I can afford that. And lemme guess - rapier for one tough opponent so you can get the flourish defense going, spiked chain for taking down crowds of mooks? Yu: Precisely. Combat Reflexes + Improved Disarm + Improved Trip + Spiked Chain = MOOK SLAUGHTER! XD 162 GP left to distribute. I REALLY have to purchase normal equipment with this. Zeg, you wanna price a Swashbuckler's Outfit for me? * Zegon goes out to figure out the cost. I need the big poofy swashbuckler hat, especially. Material and style? * Zegon guesses. Broad-brimmed? Definitely broad-brimmed. You know the hat that Redmage wears? THAT. Ah, THAT. Those are kind of expensive, but I'll see what I can do. Uh, high boots? Not amazingly high, but fairly, yeah. And what do you want the material to be for most of your stuff? Silk, velvet, cotton, or leather? Ready for incoming DCC? Aren't I always? ... Don't answer that. Silk. * Zegon whistles. Okay. What is this? It's fanart of four of the Final Fantasy 11 female classes. I forget which, precisely... I think they're Redmage, Samurai, Whitemage, and Ranger. It's a little risque, but the hat on redmage is almost right. Ah, guessed that after I got it. I know what Red Mage looks like, though. :P If silk's too expensive, I'll go down to velvet, but that's about as far as I'm willing to go. Hat. XD HAT. A good hat is even better than magic helmet. Removable sleeves? Why in the world would I want removable sleeves? Dunno. It's just an option under the coat. *shrugs* Any gloves? Oh, wait. I remember what removable sleeves are for. They're a grappling thing. Give you a bonus to escape grapples. Nah, I don't need 'em. They're a pain to sew up all the time. Gloves are good, yes. Your budget is 154 GP. :P Anything more and I'll have to start pickpocketing. * Zegon goes to pick the most expensive stuff first, then. Actually... 150 GP. Almost forgot to get a grapnel. Mmm... Smuggler's boots? :P Boots with a false bottom so you can stick stuff in them? Good stuff, those. If they're not too expensive, I'll take 'em. Don't need a cape, you already got that. Same with a cloak, ne? I've already got a footpad's vest accounted for, Zeg, so don't figure that in. Cape and CLoak are the same slot. It's jsut one's got a hood and the other doesn't. Layer them. XD A hood would interfere with my HAT. God, I really don't know how women dress. 75% of the stuff on this table is for them, and I don't know what does what. Like a Chemise. What's a Chemise? No idea! It's prolly one of those articles of clothing I'd recognize to look at, but can't remember the name of. Just like I could never remember what those shorter pants are called, among other examples. And stockings. Do you need stockings? A chemise is like a slip. And you only need stockings if you're a "proper lady" It takes AGES to get a "proper lady" out of her layers upon layers of clothes... which was sorta the purpose, really. :P Thought so. Same with a dress and half the other stuff here. Want a night shirt? Nein. Sleep in the buff. Makes for a better distraction if you're attacked in your sleep. ^_~ Hah! Alright, so... *** Cheeseball (mahamari@adsl-68-251-144-197.dsl.bltnin.ameritech.net) has joined #aeoth Heya, Maha. *** Lynxara is on IRC MAHA! XD * Yu-Mei tackleglomps Maha. *** Lynxara has left IRC * NinjaDebugger is almost finished with the crunchy bits of his character. ND's char rules. I have a fine leather belt w/ fancy buckle, Smuggler's boots, Silk Pants, Velvet Jacket (Don't know if you actually want a silk one), silk gloves, Broadbrimmed hat, silk shirt, and, um... That's about it. Anything I missed? * Cheeseball snoozes in place. Not really. I'm assuming I don't have to pay for the unders separately? :P *** Cheeseball is now known as Chiaki Not unless you actually want to go that detailed. :P Since this is your first suit of clothing, dock 10 gp off the price... Unders? * NinjaDebugger grins. "I'm not feeling THAT silly today." 74 gold. Maha: Skivvies. Panties, bra, that sort of thing. Things that make men's noses bleed. Chiaki would be interested. :P OH. * Chiaki snickers. * Chiaki IS a fan of the skivvies. They are doubtless lacy and racy, and will probably give poor Kardos a heart attack. Oh, question. Jewelry? Yessah? * Chiaki votes for ND's char to flash Kardos often. * Zegon knows she will. :P Jewelry is So overrated, really. I suppose a pair of earrings might not be too much, though. Hey, who am I to deny a request? ;_; !_! So I hear ND's char is cool. What makes her cool? :D She's badass. Anyways, would she want a gem in them, and what kind? What makes her cool is that she's badass and female. And she knows how to flourish a cape to block attcks. Zeg: Green emeralds, most likely, and yes. IN fact, she probably stole them. She has a magical panache, an armored cape she can flourish to defend herself, she uses a whip, a spiked chain, and claws. * Chiaki laughs. And a rapier! ND: Gold? Don't forget the rapier! Zeg> Do we need to be detailed about clothing? Only if you want to be. Oh, let's see. 60 will just have to do. Make 'em silver and green emeralds. ND's character is using a specifically expensive. Yu> Sounds rather like Urania, hahaha. Dangly, but not by much. Gold earrings are 20 gp, silver are 2gp. That's for each, not including gems.. For small emeralds that would fit in those, I'd say... Maybe 20 gp a piece? Or maybe 10? Emeralds aren't the most expensive of gemstones. Maha> I'm hoping this char has a better Charisma than Urania, tho. ;) Not that that's *hard*, mind. Thalan had better charisma than Urania. * Chiaki snickers. And when the person with a -4 to cha has more than you... Yes, sadly, the Silly version of Urania has the suck for cha. :P Gold doesn't go well with emeralds. Don't ask me WHY I know this. But it doesn't. <.< So silver. Gold's not -that- bad with emeralds... Silver's better, though. Especially given my overall theme. Green, black, and silver. Alright, so, we'll say 17 gp a piece, brings the earrings up to 34 gp. Okies. And I have... 42 GP left for pocket money. 42! You got some nice looking earrings, but not overly gaudy or large enough that someone would grab them. Although they may be tempted. :P If they go for the earrings, they're gonna get pounded. I've got enough modifications to my ears already, thank you very much. Well, first they'd have to have improved unarmed combat, then improved grapple... Going for the ears would be hard as hell to do and probably provoke an AoO anyways. Which I would promptly use to trip them and then stomp on their groin. :P Yay, best move ever. Yup! "As if it's not enough that I've pierced them AND chopped the bloody tips off." Aeoth needs puchiguso. Puchiwhat? Puchiguso! The strange furry hippo things from .hack! o_o They're cute. I want one. They ARE cute. They're not too bright, though. *BUMP* *** Lynxara is on IRC <.< ?_? *BUMP* Jareth for President! ... He has re-ordered time. He has turned the world upside down. And he's done it all for YOU! Just fear me, love me, do as I say, and I will be your slave. ?_? Haha, WHAT? I am fskin' confused from that. Zeg: Jareth. The goblin king from Labyrinth. * Chiaki knows who Jareth is, but is confused nonetheless. * Zegon has Labyrinth, but he's never seen it. ^^; For the past two weeks, Something Awful's photoshop phriday theme has been "Unlikely presidential campaigns" And Jareth for President was one of them. Hahaha, awesome. Weird. ^_^ Oh, Zeg, dunno if you already answered this, but do you want us to be strict in buying/choosing clothing, as in deducting gold for different articles? Maha: Only if you want to. I wanted a number of articles of clothing that were nonstandard, so I had to depart from the "outfits". For most people, buying a standard outfit and making it look the way you want is sufficient. Yeah. Ah, gotcha. But if you're looking for expensive stuff (like silk or velvet), it costs a bit more. I think all my customization went into the gloves and ring. What'd you get? Gloves of hygiene and ring of sustenance. * NinjaDebugger snickers at this pic he has of Zidane being fawned over by all the girls from FF7-10, with Garnet in the foreground testing the edge on her dagger. Ring of CHEESE! I'm allowed to customize how those look, yes? Yes, indeedy. Yes. Magic items, in general, are so expensive customizing their appearance is neglegable in cost. Awesome. Yeah. As GP cost -> infinity, customization cost -> 0 Also, if you want a magic item who who's only effect is cosmetic, I'd try and price it accordingly. "Ed is the ammunition. Gigantic bomb of Edward! Very messy, full of pasta. Oodles of noodles! Ed obeys the Ramen! Only the Ramen! All others are false! REPENT!" o_0? From a wallpaper I have featuring Radical Ed. Radical Edward. XD Haha, excellent. VERY MESSY, FULL OF PASTA! I need a good shape for a belt buckle. OISHII MANJU! @_@ Delicious WHAT? * Chiaki cackles. Manju. Explain? It's from the episode when Ed eats the black blob monster. Ah! Ah! * Yu-Mei snickernods. You mean the 'pudding'? :P That doesn't help me with the shape for my buckle. * Chiaki nods. I relate to that scene greatly. Manju-shaped. ...that's not a shape. It's a not-shape. What's a manju? Though storing a trained quasi-intelligent black pudding in your belt buckle would be cool. Well, manjus have a shape. The black blobby thing she thought was a manju didn't. ;) Heh. * Chiaki grins. And of course Edward defeated the terrible monster. Who else could? Maha would have done the same thing. :9 ... That'd be *cool*. I'll bet Maha would've. ^_~ My friends have taken to monitoring my eating habits because they're afraid I'll someday eat something toxic. Little do they know that Maha has the stomach of STEEL! * NinjaDebugger refrains from comment. I will not. I will NOT comment. * Zegon snickers. Eh? :3 * Chiaki wonders now. * Zegon gives Maha a cookie. Too disgusting. no. Not gonna comment. * Chiaki gobbles cookie! * NinjaDebugger dishes out cookie dough ice cream. * Chiaki chews on ND. Comment! * Chiaki eets ice cream! ND, look at who's in the room. I think we can all take it. :P * Yu-Mei eets ice cream. :9 Fine, fine. We can? c.c We can! No. Seriously, except for things like that photoshopped maggotty breast, I'm not easy to gross out. Let's just say... once you've read "Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenex", you'll never look at the "stomach of steel" thing the same way again. * Chiaki doesn't understand. o.@ * Zegon blinks. I don't get it either? Chiaki: "Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenex" is an infamous essay written by Larry Niven about what would happen should Clark Kent/Superman actually finally make sweet luvin' with Lois Lane. * Chiaki nods. http://www.rawbw.com/~svw/superman.html <--- Read. Never heard of it. Oh, I remember hearing of it. * Yu-Mei does not read. * Chiaki reads. * Zegon reads too. *** Maggie (Maggie@12-222-67-48.client.insightBB.com) has joined #aeoth Am I the only one who hasn't made a character yet? Yup! Hehe. I'm such a slacker Yes you are. ~_^ You are. We could replace you with Kate. :P Kate isn't as cool as I am. Or maybe she is. I don't know Kate. Nah, we couldn't. Kate's going to apply for MC3. Heya, Maggie! And probably get in. Oh, gah, it's almost 10. Game, Maggie. You coming? :) Dude, the GM just left. He's rounding people up. I'm going to make a character so Zeg doesn't kill me or replace me with the Kate. Maaaaangle. GM's here in my apt. ;) Ah, good. So you won't have to leave. I'd like to get some background as well with these characters, so I can tell what your general motivations are. I'm in it for the money and the glory! w00t! *** Maggie5 (Maggie@12-222-67-48.client.insightBB.com) has joined #aeoth I even have stories in my head, if only I can get them out onto paper. That's easy to handle. Cool! * Yu-Mei looks back in. "Re, Maggie."

I need to find a better reason, eh? Maggie's here now, too. Alright Maggie! A few ground rules. *** Maggie (magcsmit@adsl-68-251-144-197.dsl.bltnin.ameritech.net) has joined #aeoth Now I am stealing Maha's internet. So how do I go about character creation on irc? Maggie: Paladin, Ranger, and Bard are PrCs. Equipment is generally 3.0 style, but some items are more expensive and/or weaker. If you want to know what, ask. Armor is done according to 3.5 style. Hence, if you want to enchant your armor with something other than enchantment bonus or equivalences, you take the cost it would be on an item and multiply it by 1.5 if you want to apply it to armor. Zeg> Maybe. It's his business, anyway. I guess he also has that underlying quest of figuring out his odd ancestry. I don't think I ever played 3.0. I went from 2.0 to 3.5, I think. Ah. Maggie> It's ok. Me too. :) Zeg, should I just do character creation on my own or do you want me to do it on here? Here, on your own, that's okay. I'll help if you want it (and I advise it, actually). ^^; Between Zegon and I, we can make sure that you'll be both appropriate (Zegon) and useful (me) and not TOO powerful (Zeg again.) ND> Haha, Patrick's not so much evidence of that skill of Zeg's, though. ;) Yeah, I don't really have the problem of ever being too powerful. I 1)roll the suck and 2)go for flava over power. Okay, well, first... I hate rolling stats. Maha: Well, Zeg and I tend to keep each other in check. I guess before I said I could go dwarven fighter, but if something else would be more useful, let me know. * Yu-Mei snickers. And Yu tends to allow pretty much anything. :P So I should just pick stats? Hehe. 40 CP stat-buy. Right now we have a barbarian who thinks he's a wizard, a rogue who thinks she's a pirate, and a sorceror who thinks he's a cleric. Mags: It's the point system. 40 points, scaled stat costs. Sorry, Zeg; that was a cheap shot. ;) ARR! Arr! :D <.< Maha is hooking me up with explanations. She's SO not a pirate. Though actually, she WOULD probably kick ass on a ship. Especially once she gets a level or two of thief acrobat. * Zegon finishes reading the story. Yeah. Maggie> Point buy costs are same as on here: http://submarine.sandwich.net/EW2/EW2d20.txt Thanks. Oh, and just another note? I'm using the Weapon Sets profeciencies optional rule. Depending on the class, you can pick x sets of weapons to be profecient in. ND> If she was a pirate, she'd be almost -exactly- like Urania. ;) Well, she IS somewhat archetypal. Mags: You may want to think twice about being a dwarf. Though a dwarven female fighter could be... interesting. ^_~ Who said anything about female? I rarely play female. Damn. So we have three guys and one lady? :P Oh well. I swear, another one of you needs to be female to make Kardos's life interesting. :P I think when girls play girls, they tend to get too girly. That's been my experience, anyway. I don't play girly girls often. Tia's about the only one. Oh, wait. And Chiaki. Naaah. Right, and Talia ia sort of girly, but Aria isn't. * Zegon snickers. When do you guys want to start playing? Tia's not girly? We do lack the 'girly' girl, actually. Tia's way girly compared to me. ^^;;;;; That's true. But Tia's cool. :3 * Chiaki has a skewed sense of girly, I guess. * Zegon has never played a female character. Although Miles could technically become one if he really wanted to. I played almost exclusively male characters until I started getting hit on by girls all the time. :P When guys play girls, they tend to be too... slutty, really. Though admittedly, I am playing somewhat up to that particular stereotype on purpose. I could play a ridiculously girly female dwarf with low CHA who thinks she's a hottie. * Yu-Mei snickers. * Zegon shudders. Haha. I played a prostitute assassin once. DO IT! I don't know if Zeg would let me. @_@ It's fun being slutty, kinda. Like with your black boots? * Chiaki snarfs. Hey. Oh, I'm sorry. Maybe I should have mentioned the skirt? Zeg/Yu/ND> I've a pair of boots that Maggie calls my "big black hooker boots". Hah! * Chiaki coughs. Pictures, woman! Where are the PICTURES?! Ah. Those kind of boots. ;P Hookery in a good way. But, but, the boots are highly utilitarian! They have pockets! POCKETS! XD Utility boots! * Maggie snickers. "Utilitarian like a bull whip?" Carry a Maharang! Like a Batarang, but, uh, not. <.< * Chiaki laughs. "No fair." Okay, so Zeg: Girly female dorf fighter? girly female dwarf fighter. That's scary. Eh... I don't know how comical I want this to be. But if it's not *too* bad, I'll allow it. Does she have a beard? * Chiaki votes for beard. And is she girly according to dorf or human standards? She braids it. And puts those little emo plastic barrettes in it. It'd have to be glass, but yeah. She's just girly. It won't be blatantly comical, just quirky, sort of like Tia in a way, but not. Acceptable? Okay, I can live with that. Good. So let me play with stats and I'll smoosh them here when I figure something out. * Zegon nods. Okay: STR18, DEX14, CON16, INT11, WIS12, CHA9 That should work out right. Before racial mods? Basically it's a fighter who thinks she's the face right That's just raw stats. Apply racial mods, you get 18/14/18/11/12/7. Is 7 too low? Nah. I mean, she's not a pretty girl. People'll just might not like the way you look. I might drop my extra one into CHA just to get it up to -1. Actually... I'd drop your point from int into it. You can be quite pretty, if you like. Looks aren't intimately tied into charisma. So you'd end up with 18/14/18/10/12/8. They're part of it, but not the be-all and end-all. Okay, I can do that. * Zegon nods. And then my extra into STR. Good call. Yeah, but she's a sweetie. I had a very cute cat-person (VERY cute) with a cha score of 8. He was a total as. Err, ass. Not Miles? Miles is tristat. Thalan was Dragonstar, which is d20. Zeg, I am holding up another game, because I am a bad person. Can I work the rest out from there and then run it by you tomorrow? Sure. ^_^ Thanks. Not normally a big deal, but as the GM is my boyfriend, I don't want to catch hell later. Maha will testify to his crankiness. I don't mind. Whenever you want to work is fine. ^_^ * Chiaki laughs. He's not -that- cranky. * Yu-Mei snickers. Will you be around tomorrow? Eh... Not likely. Busy day with Easter and all. I'll probably be back at around 9 or 10, though. I'll be around if you need help I can give, though. * NinjaDebugger does not celebrate easter. Ah, right. * Maggie forgets that we aren't all Jews. * Chiaki doesn't either, so I also forgot. ^^ Can I be an honorary Jew? :) I ate your yummy Jewish food! *** Maggie (magcsmit@adsl-68-251-144-197.dsl.bltnin.ameritech.net) Quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) * Yu-Mei also notes that Canyons will likely not run tomorrow. ^^; *** Maggie (magcsmit@adsl-68-251-144-197.dsl.bltnin.ameritech.net) has joined #aeoth Aww, okay. * Maggie makes Maha an honorary Jew. * Chiaki cheers! Might run a make-up session Monday, tho. Okay. ^^ Hopefully I won't have too much homework. Mmmm, Monday. I'm not a Jew. I'm a discordian. That's not a subset of Jew? No. I'm an offshoot of Buddhist, which is kind of like a discordian and kind of like a Jew. ;) Buddhism is kind of like discordianism, only more orderly. * Maggie hopes people realized she is both Jewish and joking, so she doesn't sound wildly antisemitic and stupid. What's discordianism, by the way? :) It's the disorganized worship of Eris, Goddess of Chaos, Discord, and nifty stuff. Haha, I see. Is that a real religion? ^^ (I don't mean that sarcastically, either. ^^ I'm just curious.) Yes and no. It depends on what you mean by "real" If you mean, "do people follow it, really?" the answer is yes. If you mean, "Is it recognized by the state?" then no. But then, Discordianism doesn't recognize the state, so it's all good. Ah. Do you really follow it? Sometimes. :P Note that there is no one way to be a Discordian. Every Discordian has his own ideas about what it means to be a Discordian. That's why it's a _disorganized_ religion. Haha, well, that's vaguely similar to how my religion is practiced, I guess. My own personal brand can generally be summed up as "Don't be a dick." * Chiaki nods.

So you think Kard's finished, yah? Impressive. More or less. Been at the same point for a while. He's pretty bare-boned, but he's got a background and some decent stats. His gear is terribly lopsided. He's got a +2 b-sword and almost nothing else. I'm not sure his shield and chain shirt are even masterwork. But that's Kardos for you. Um... yeah, given that a +2 weapon is 8k, that'd take almost all of his budget. So, he's not very balanced. Leaning a lot to offense. But that's okay. I think? Probably, given that he's going to be supported by someone with reach who is fond of disarm. Does Kardos have a thing against attacking unarmed people? If they can't fight without a weapon, yes. And he will likely *ask* them if they can fight without a weapon, once they're disarmed. Although I should prolly note that he's more against harming than attacking. He might club someone with the flat of his sword to knock them out. Augh. Well, hey. Not like I want to kill 'em anyway. Normally. Heh. I have to consult with Zeg on where I can logically be from. * Yu-Mei nods. Kard, fortunately, doesn't have a speciffic point of origin needed. Hehe. I need a nice long name. Anastaaaaasia. ;P Hehe. That might go in there somewhere. Contessa should also be in there somewhere. Possibly as a title, if you can get it as such. ;) Nah. That implies some sort of legitimacy. My "title" will be Lupin. Dorothy Nina Annabelle Ashlee Edwina Lupin III * NinjaDebugger snickers. I've always wanted to play a character named Dorothy. What do you think? Or should it be Lupin the II? LUPIN III. XD But wouldn't she be Fujiko instead? Mmm. Fujiko. Mmm, Fujiko. We're both sick bastards. We are? Fujiko was cool! From the, like, five episodes I managed to see of L3. ;_; Lusting after a cartoon thief. Bah. Sure, she was a COOL cartoon thief, but still. But it doesn't make sense to have "Fujiko" in there. Uh, right. And true, it doesn't, sadly. No Rokugan on this world, I'd wager. Heh. * Yu-Mei wonders if taking Ancestral Relic would be any good for Kard. Can't remember what it does, exactly. Or if it counts as an Exalted feat. *** Yu-Mei is now known as YuBGon And now I go get food. Whee. Ancestral Relic, AKA Soul Forge, AKA "Ancestral Daisho" Ugh. *** YuBGon is now known as Yu-Mei Re. And is that all it is? Sad. Ancestral Relic is Ancestral Daisho in a funny hat. That's all. ...no, it's worse. It uses GP instead of XP. The original version of Ancestral Daisho uses GP, actually. The writers at AEG said "WTF?" and changed it to better reflect the goddamn world. AEG? Alderac Entertainment Group.

Note that this is an adopted human name. So gimme something nice and long and fitting for someone of her importance. :P I also need a place to hail from. * Yu-Mei eyes #Canyons. Well... Let's put it this way. You can come from pretty much anywhere on this continent, or the one up North. If you're looking for a particular place to be from, ask. I'll point it out. I need someplace hot. With a volcano, preferably. Fire bloodline? Fire Elf. Fire Elf! Even More Dex? Nein. Dex + Int - Str and Cha. The Charisma hit hurts, but ehn. It's the race that really works the best for what I wanted. Okay, well, you have two possibilities. -Cha? Weird. I figured it'd be - Str and Con, since it's still an elf. On the western half of the continent, there's a very tall, but small, mountain range with a bordering desert. On the eastern seaboard there's another one that's lying between a huge expanse of forests and a moderately hilly area. Are there volcanos in either? 'cause just desert would result in desert elves, and desert elves are blah. Hmmm... I believe the one near the desert does have volcanoes in it. Okay then. That's where I'd need to be from, then. *** Yu-Mei (Yu-Mei@AC849A2C.ipt.aol.com) Quit (Quit: WHEEE! XD) So, Zman. Got an ideas for naming stuff? And what's this mountain range and desert like?

Badger badger/ Nothing at all. We just wanna badger you about A2. Because MC has to end someday. :P It will eventually! But, uh, what do you want to badger me ABOUT about A2? It was ND's idea! Um... dunno. Warklock! I haven't even confirmed it as a playable class yet, ND. <.<; I knOW. I could stat up my bard right-quick. It pains me constantly. ;_; But I endure, oh do I endure. Might also do a rogue build. It's such a cool wangsty class. * Zegon is allowing wildmages, because wildmages are badass. And fun, and totally random. I am not entirely sure what I'll do. * NinjaDebugger cries, for the Rod of Wonder is 3000 too high for these characters. I'm not entirely sure what you'll do, too. Zee: If you don't allow Warlock, I might have to go for Wild Mage. Sadly, the Rod of Wonder is just a TAD too expensive to start with. Otherwise I'd happily blow all my starting monies on it. Dude, if someone makes a wild mage, you'd be sure they'll get a rod of wonder eventually. Hell, maybe even something better. * NinjaDebugger STARES. Holy shit. Oh? You could make a WARLOCK/WILDMAGE! XD ... What's the "Magical Aptitude" feat? * NinjaDebugger winces. Oh, a skillboost feat. Crappy prereq. Yeah, it's pretty crappy. But... Wild Warlock! XD <.< * NinjaDebugger is kidding. ^ _~ I'm considering an assassin. * NinjaDebugger actually made an assassin at one point, but scrapped it on account of it being boring to play in an online game. Well, the problem with being the underhand is that some games don't really require one. So if A2 won't give me assassination/infiltration targets.. :P My sources say "no" Not... likely. Although the ability to disguise oneself may come in handy. Mm. Maybe a blood mage. Wowza, Initiate of the Sevenfold Veil. Seven levels. Heh. Yes. One for each layer of the Prismatic Wall/Sphere. I just want to play a ninja. -_- Haha. I should pull out the actual Ninja class, then. :P Zeeg wouldn't okay it, though. Or the Ninja Spy PrC. Considering you're not oriental, yeah. Ninja and monks just don't happen. ^^; The Ninja Spy PrC could easily be renamed and work just fine. Seeker of the Song! o/~ Eh, I'm a little barded out. I'm not! XD Play it, then. :P Okay. Zeeg, you don't have to okay Warlock anymore. ^_~ And by ninja, I just mean "stealthy assassin-guy". So you really mean "Rogue 5/Assassin 2/Shadowdancer 1" :P Because that's about as stealthy as it gets. :P Something like that. Maybe I 'll just do my DD idea. DD? Dwarven Defender. Zeg, what's the flavor of the game going to be like? Flavor? War epic, random adventuring, mystery? Mmm, high adventure factor, including in-town and out-of-town conflict. Huge overarching hidden plot (as normal), deities will play a hand in it as well. A bit high-powered (as the stats can tell you), but nothing over-the-top until the late-game. The game will end when you're about level 15. Starting level? 5. 5? Yep, just enough. * Will ponders a half-fiend fighter based off his Fable character. Setting is a bit standard. Um... I'm pondering saying 'No LA races'. You might want to think twice about that. Even if Zee does allow it. The half templates tend to have problems in the early game, save half-dragon fighter-types who pack +8 strength. Shit, I've gotta come up with a bard concept that _doesn't_ concentrate on the illusions. Zee, I need a legal race that's -Physical, +Mental Um... And we were on 38 points, right? Only one that'd do that would be the Grey elves. And even then, you're pushing it. Because, as you know, +mental is *powerful* shit. Actually... wait. I want the reverse of that. +Physical, and preferably -Wis. Or even just flat out -Wis, that'd be boss. Nothin' does that, sorry. Fuck. Why are you looking for -wis and +physical? Because I need every point I can get in Int and Charisma, and I'm looking for a way to be from a race that's known for physical power, not for mental power. Half-orc? I'd do half-orc, forex, but that'd cripple the character. I've made a half-orc bard before. It *does* cripple the character. And I'm not looking to be a scrub in THIS game. :P Good, because scrubs wouldn't survive, really. :P I know. o_o Anyway, I need a race that's known for physical power, and yet lacks penalties to Int and Charisma. * Zegon looks up variants. Gold dwarves would be workable, potentially. But that's up to you. They're a VERY minor variant on standard dwarves. -2 Dex, +2 Con, and they've got a bonus against Abberations instead of giants. I could do what Zeg did in Silly! Will: Hmmm? Play a dragon. ND: Mmmm... I'll permite that. Will: No. Darn. No dragons in the party. Hahaha. Err, permit. I want to do something weird. * Zegon blinks. Forest Gnomes are pretty cool. And if Schnee allowed them, I'd *so* have Josi be one. Although they get nifty abilities without any drawback, which would need to be changed. Where're those? 3.5 MM, page 132. Or, uh, SRD under gnomes. Yeah, um... yeah. Bonus with no penalty = BAD But my current ideas are "ninja", "golem", and "swords". * NinjaDebugger snickers. I'd take away the craft (Alchemy), giant AC bonus, and weapon familiarity. Maybe even the spell-likes, too. Like.. I don't know, a warforged. * Zegon ehs. Swords are cool. You could easily go off of that. I love nifty weapons. What about psionics? Soulknives are fun. zomg KOBOLD. XD No, I'm kidding. I'd be very happy to realize my dream of the soulknife/pyrokineticist. No psionics, but Psionic Warrior and Soulknives *will* have magic equivalents. Will pyrokinetics have a magical equivalent? Boomsorc. Ew. I meant the PrC. Not likely, but I'll take a look. There's probably *something* out there you can sub. And how would you pull Pyrokineticist off? Elemental blood. * Zegon LIKES that prereq. Special: Must have set fire to a structure of any size just to watch it burn. Yeah, it's cool. So, uh, you do know your soulknives would become horribly weak over time if you took this PrC, right? Wow, Conflagration completly hoses casters. COnstant damage? Reflex save for half of 15d6 damage. If that fails, make a fort save or die. ...ouch. Area effect, based on the user. SHIT, Zeeg... If only. IF ONLY. ? If only I could take an Ogre and give up the +10 strength, -4 Int, and -4 Cha. IF ONLY. Anyways, I could try converting Pyrokeneticist over to a magic equivalent. ND: Uh... I'm thinking a no. ~_^ Have you converted Soulknives yet? No, sadly. I only did the conversion for PsyWarrior, because I was going to play one. * Zegon nods. But that was like, over a year ago. And I'd want to make a few changes to it *anyways* Pretty much, a converted soulknife will, um... be pretty much identical to a normal soulknife. Except that the mindblade would be a magical manifestation (not psionic). You don't gain Wild Talent, Psychic Strike deals raw arcane damage, the enhancement options will change, and Speed of Thought will just be a +10 ft. per round movement increase. And the enhancement bonii would be normal like fiery and so forth? Well, yes, that's what I ment by changing them. ..Sorry, skipped from the Psychic Strike changes right to Speed of Thought. The bonus options will be more powerful, but you don't get the ability to take the psionic feats you'd normally be able to due to wild talent. Hmmm... I'm pondering giving Mage Knights 'Arcane Strike' at level 1. omstead pf wjatever feat tjeu Err, instead of whatever feat they'd take normally. How to justify a mageknife/firespeaker.. Oh, and fractional bonuses dammit. Hey, ND? How'd you convert psi-warriors? Lemme post it up. I am considering a psi-warrior/pyrokinetic. Will: I basically just made them bards, but with bonus feats instead of bardsong, and more fightery skills. http://besm.sandwich.net/FFCC/other/Mage%20Knight.txt * Zegon is now known as Zegone ..Hm. Note that's NOT final, I still want to re-work a few things on it. I think I'll use the mageknife class instead. It's a pity that my idea for making pyrokineticist workable would probably break the class. (Change fire to magic!) So you could shoot magic bolts, make arcane lashes.. Yeah, that'd break it. Will: 38 statpoints, right? I think so? * NinjaDebugger can't remember. ;_; You could remove the fire resistance and airwalking abilities.. Wow. I could not possibly be more physically inept. 8/6/10/18/14/18 Skerrit's weaker. Skerry's not pointbuy. :P True. Wow. Um... I'm really, REALLY good at all my skills. o_o I could call the magic soulknife a mageblade, but people would be mad. -_- * Zegone is now known as Zegon Mageblade? <.< Hey Zee? Thoughts on the Communicator feat? AU class. Hmmm? Yeah, I knew I recognized it from somewhere. But I didn't remember what. Anyways, what about the Communicator feat? You allowing it? Mmm... Sure, I suppose. But one thing I'd like to do for it is 1st: require magical casting as a prereq, and as a bonus the communicator feat spells are cast as a caster of your caster level. There should be a 2nd in there. Well, I'm a Bard, so the prereq's not a problem, and the bonus is nifty, so AGREED. ... What're the point-buy costs, again? Check out Innate Spell. 1 for every point from 9 to 14, 2 for 15 and 16, and 3 for 17 and 18, Innate spell rocks. But you can't actually get it until like, level 18. Which is WHY it should rock. Oh, and Zee? Thoughts on magical musical instruments? What are good stats for mageknives? Magical musical instruments? Um... Mageknights? Um... 16 Strength, 14 Dex/Con, 16 Cha Knives. Arcane soulknives. Um... Mageknives? Oh. Um... dunno, haven't looked at 'em. What do you plan to do? Two-weapon? Nope. ..Oh, question. Does Aeoth have a deity of magic? Hahahahaha! Does Aeoth have a deity... Aeoth has a rather extensive pantheon based on the d20 standard pantheon. So, deity of magic would be Baccob. Hm, Boccob. All the base d20 deities are there. (the ones in the PHB) I have this odd idea for my mageknife, but it'd make him unique. Anyways, most magic/soulknives would have a high dex, moderate str, con, and wis. My idea is that Boccob invested him with a shard of magical power, which gives him his arcane blade, but also forbids him from using arcane or divine magic. * Will (TGCid@63-229-181-131.tcsn.qwest.net) Quit (Quit: THANK YOU WISE MEN, BUT YOUR MESSIAH IS IN ANOTHER MANGER.) ARGH. ZEEEEEEEEG. ;_; ? All the magical instruments are either horribly expensive or stupid. Combat this, summon that, heal this, yadda yadda. Well, um... I really don't plan on giving out hordes of instruments, and the ones in the book don't really excite me. So, chances are any I hand out will either be trash or stuff I make up. * NinjaDebugger blarghs. Is it so much to ask for a storybook that casts Presto at will? or... The Funniest Joke In The World, that casts Tasha's Uncontrollable Hideous Laughter? :P * Zegon snerks. Follow normal costing item rules. Item that casts presto at will and doesn't take up a slot would be 2k. About. Yeah, same as the ghost pipes. The ones that cast ghost sound at will. Yup. Oh... Travel Cloak? ? Convenience item. Cold resist, provides three rations a day, and a gallon of liquid split into 4 quarts, either water or tea. And turns into a tent, too. How much? 1200 How much CR? 5. It's just a resist elements. Enough to protect you from snowstorms and such. It's a 3.0 item, isn't it? Yeah, it was. Alright, instead of the CR it provides the effects of the spell 'Endure Elements' as per the 3.5 spell. The cost, mmmm... Fine with me, that's what it's intended for. 3.5 Endure Elements does a better job of it, really. 3.5's is actually 2.0's neutered a little. They removed the "once per spell, it'll soak up to 10 points of damage from a magical source. As soon as it does so, it poofs." 3.5s just plain doesn't poof. it lasts for 24 hours. Anyways, 1.2k sounds like a fair price. Coolies. That and haversack make up my "convenience" items. Haversack is the ultimate convenience item. * NinjaDebugger arghs. Okay, I refuse to take the Ring of Cheese. You said metamagic rods are right out, ne? I'm going to say they're a no-no. They might be out there, but not to start and definetly not at the listed prices. *nod* Wasn't really considering them, anyway. They just happened to be the low end of the rod chart. Immovable rod is only 5k. e_e * NinjaDebugger grins evilly. By the way, how are Elf/Dwarf relations? ^_^ Really? I thought they were 7.5k. Used to be. Check the latest revision. apparently they got erratta'd down. Mmm, I thought they were *cheap* at 7.5k. What do you think? Hard to say. it's not an... obvious item. But horrendously powerful in how it breaks physics. It's powerful, but it's not "everyday" powerful. It's circumstantially powerful. Go ahead with it, and if it's too powerful I'll dock money from your treasure. :P Actually, I wasn't going to get one. I was just remarking that it's there. Wondrous Storybook. 1800 GP, Presto at will. XD That's badass. It is. XD You might want to limit it to only dealing with things that regard to storytelling. I mean, it doesn't make sense to clean things up unless you're reading a story from it that does that. ~_^ THat's sorta the point. But it's a wondrous storybook, so all you've gotta do is be telling ANY story. ^_~ Yup! And it will try, in its limited power, to make it 'true'. I've got 8 ranks of Perform Oratory (which includes storytelling) And I might need you to make a check to use it properly. I'm assuming Oratory's not barred from Seeker, is it? Um... No, it's not barred. But I'd much rather you have an actual instrumental skill, or something that's an actual song. Most instruments have it as a minimum ranks of perform, 4 for the lowest level stuff, all the way up to 17+ for the highest level instruments. That book'd want a rank of 6 or 7. You've got it easy. Oratory only works for it. Ah. Okay. Good thing I've got 8 ranks of Perform: Stringed Instrument in there, too. That's good. What kind of stringed instrument, in particular? Actually... that's not a very dwarven instrument. So fuck the stringed instruments. DRUMS! I'm taking 8 ranks of _Hammered_ instruments. In particular, the Hammered Dulcimer, aka the Xylophone. Percussion. XD The Dulcimer's not exactly percussion, but it's in the same group. Because it works by hitting things with hammers. ^_~ And if you can sing while doing that, that'd be awesome. But you're not a singer, right? (Unless it's a drinking song) I'm not a singer, technically, but I _can_ tell a story to it. * Zegon nods. Did you have to go with TWO 18s? Skills are (all at max ranks) Appraise, Bluff, Diplomacy, Disguise, Gather Info, K: Arcana, Perform, Perform, Sense Motive, and UMD I didn't have to, but I did. My statline is pretty whacked out. 8/6/10/18/14/178 My statline is pretty whacked out. 8/6/10/18/14/18 BEFORE putting in my level 4 point. * Calculus is on IRC Oh now THERE's a good spell. ? * Zegon hehs. Being neutral gets you 'Judge of Cania'. Harmony. Level 1 Bard, 1 action to cast, doubles the effect of your Inspire Courage ability. Oooh, nice. Yeah, it's sexy. If there's ONE good thing about Forgotten Realms, it's that they've got a hard on for bards. Primarily because of Ed Greenwood and Elaine Cunningham. Ed because most of his harem girls are bards, and Elaine because she's a damn good writer and Danilo Thann kicks ass. * Zegon snerks. ( Seriously. Ed Greenwood invented the realms. Eltwinkster is his author avatar, and the Seven Sisters are his harem. Eltwinkster sleeps with all of them, and if you ever see some of his writings about them, you'll understand instantly. ) Mrrrr, 1300 GP left. And, uh, if I get into combat, I'm a dead dwarf. Like, really, really dead. -herring.sandwich.net:@#Aeoth- NinjaDebugger invited Dicesuke into channel #Aeoth. * Dicesuke (akodomakot@ip68-13-166-245.om.om.cox.net) has joined #Aeoth 4 d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for NinjaDebugger (4 d6) and gets 4 1 6 6. Ye4ah. 23 HP, AC 8. If I get anywhere NEAR a fight, I might drop dead out of fright. But you're a DORF! And you might not want to kill yourself THAT badly in combat. Because it will happen. I know combat will happen. o_o And I'm not gonna pull punches in enemies hitting you. ^^; Hey, if they're coming after me, who is obviously NOT a threat, instead of the big guys with the swords, I've got problems. You're going, what, Seeker of the Song, right? Yeah. That's, uh, a pretty big threat. ^^; By the time I go seeker, I won't have to worry about it so much. * Zegon nods. And I have FIVE LEVELS OF BARD to go before I get a SINGLE level of Seeker. I know that, ND. My pathetic physical stats can be overcome, since I won't actually be a threat in combat until I get that first level of Seeker. In fact, there's a fair chance that the first spell I cast in any given combat will be Invis. But some creatures specifically go to pick off the weakest first, and others can't quite read threats properly. Most intellegent creatures probably won't go after you unless they hate music. Yep. I'll deal. I still haven't done spells yet, actually. I'm having to restrain myself from taking soem of the illusion and knowledge stuff. Since this character is _supposed_ to focus on the power of the spoken word and music in general. He'd have fit in well as an NPC in EW2, in fact. I would think some of the knowledge stuff would be good, though. He's got some. He can't help it. Speaking of which, you allow Object/Creature Loresight? 'cuz a good portion of the best stories are based on truth. And sometimes truth IS stranger than fiction. :P Get back to me on that later. Truth is almost invariably stranger than fiction. Fiction has to make sense. Speaking of which, where the hell do I put my statpoint? I have no clue. Cha? I suppose. I've gotten this aversion recently to superhuman stats, though. Superhuman stats aren't very superhuman in Aeoth. I'm sure you've already realized this. Yeah. Still, the vast majority of my skills key off charisma, as does the general concept, so there I go. * Zegon wouldn't go with the 18 in int, honestly. A 16 is plenty enough for you. And you wouldn't be a complete wuss. But... SKILLS. XD THat's an entire skill I'd have to sacrifice. No appraise! And I _want_ to be a wimpy dwarf, honestly. But I suppose I can drop Appraise and go to 10/10/10 Radoc is... Neuthroxous the Fair. * Zegon nods. Well, you could drop Appraise, or lower appraise and another skill, going 1:2 in each of them. You *do* know that when you hit Seeker of the Song, SotS doesn't give 6 SP/level. I don't really have any other skills I'm willing to sacrifice. * Zegon nods. No, I don't, but I'll deal. At that point, i'll have 13 ranks in all these, so. And appraise is only useful if I make it useful. Yah. Shit. I knew I was forgetting something. Oh, wait. Bonus languages. I forgot TWO things. I need two good languages for Aeoth, Zee. Putting ranks in languages? That's oen o the things I forgot, the other is bonus languages. I don't know where I'm gonna get the ranks to put in languages, though. I could drop a couple points out of Sense Motive, I suppose. mrrr, depends on how many langugaes I want. I don't suppose you'e got a list of good languages? You're probably limited on your bonus languages. And as for normal languages, the most common are the ones used by the base races. For my bonus languages, I was thinking elven, gnomish, and orcish. Maybe. Not bad. Oh, and I _do_ have some combat capability, looks like. Thanks mainly to spells. And I do so hope you approve this spell. Both of these spells, actually. Whatis? Um... level 0, "Ghostharp" Pick an object. It becomes temporarily magical, records sound for a while, and then it'll play it back later. The other is a real combat spell. * Walker (TGCid@63-229-181-131.tcsn.qwest.net) has joined #Aeoth * Walker is now known as Will Level 2. Nightmare Lullaby.

He's making an OST character. ..Right, forgot why I left the room in the first place. Huh? How does the Boccob-shard story sound? I DEMAND ANSWERS, PUNY MORTAL. Oh, right! Um... No good. That's the one about Baccob putting a shard in it, right? The source of my character's magic-sword powers would be a shard of magical energies that Boccob lodged in him, yes. I'll say no to it now. -_- If that's the case, you don't know about it right now. And no evidence has ever pointed to it. If it's not the case, well, nothing ever said that's what happened, so nyah. You don't need to explain why you have soulknife powers, though. ..Well, yeah. ..Better idea! ? You lika some lasagna? ..Maybe not. Uh... Session Time: Sat Jan 01 00:00:00 2005 Did you ever finish that charbio, Will? The one I asked you to re0do? Err, re-do. Dammit, I need a Selkie last name. Nevermind, I'll gloss over it. * Ardweden has left IRC * NinjaDebugger is now known as SleepDebugger Sent. Word-wrapped, too. * Zegon nods. * Zegon KILLS YOUR COMMA SPLICES. Otherwise, good job. ^^ >:\ It's okay, I just eliminated the splices and applied some grammar to it. None of the meaning changed. I am not exactly at my writing best, so it's cool. 'kay. Oh, for the mageknife class skills.. Mmm? Remove Autohypnosis and replace K: Psionics with K: Arcana? That's it, yeah. One point for 9-14, two for 15-16, and three for 17-18? Yup. So a stat of 14 costs 6 points. 1 for eacy point from 9 to 14. Err, each. This is fairly balanced. 14/16/12/12/16/14.

Okay. Gotta get this started... Yes! * Demotafk is now known as Lucy Go, Zeg, Go! Okay, does anybody have a problem starting in a caravan on their way taking a shipment of grain and 'grain' to one of the major cities? Define 'grain'? It's 'grain', you know. 'grain. ' No problem. I suppose. Woaaaah. Sure! And by 'grain', I really mean tobacco. Since it's not illegal or anything. So are we mercs, just going with them, or both? Mercs of a sort. They pay you to go with them and help them out, but you're not under their command or anything, and with that payment they're providing a safer way to travel to the destionation. Sure. What kind of land are we traveling through? And we get to kill bandits! And you get to kill bandits~! Um, plains. You're three or so days out from the woods, and at your current pace a travel time of 15 days or so to the destination. Destination: New Anbor, btw. So! [Starting session, yo. Put OOC chatter in OOC channel, yo yo yeah.] [Day, day, hmmm... Sure, we'll start it on June 9th of... some stupid number. Let's go with 1221 because it's a palendrome. And ECE, because that's a cool base year, although at the moment I don't know what it means.] [We find our heroes/adventurers/protagonists/main characters/party members/soon to be badasses if they don't fuck it up travelling down the road as part of a caravan carrying a grain and tobacco shipment (mainly) to New Anbor from the surrounding regional farms. ETA: 15 days to New Anbor] [The time of day is morning, and it looks a little cloudy outside today but one of the caravan members guarntees it won't rain today, so there's not much to worry about there.] [... Supposedly, anyways] [Anyways, you're heading north along one of the less traveled roads, given none of the roads around here are commonly traveled 'cuz it's almost in the middle of nowheres. Despite that the road's in reasonable condition. You've just packed up from breakfast and are moving onwards *starts Oregon Trail music*] [Session start!] (Psst. A good way to start would be description and what you're doing.) (Yeah, give me a second. I'm annoyed.) * Lucy walks along, head raised, gazing far ahead at nothing in particular and taking in the surroundings. She occasionally glances at the clouds. SHe's a tall human woman, with green eyes and long blonde hair suggesting elven heritage. She wears what could be described as a steel plate skirt. ( Er, rides. Not walks. ) * Kardos is near the front of the caravan, looking about idly as he walks on. He's a youth in his mid-teens, a bit taller than normal, lean and muscular, with golden hair and well-tanned skin. He wears trousers, boots, a breastplate and a loose, open robe; the armor seems of Elven manufacture, while the robe appears of Gnomish design. ] * Clarissa is a cute little girl, maybe ten years old, with long black hair tied back in a ponytail, except for long bangs hanging down to either side of her face. She's dressed -incredibly- garishly, in black boots, purple hose, and a white shirt (with ruffles!) over which is a pink tabard emblazoned with a unicorn rampant, crossed with a red rose, under a rainbow. * Clarissa is riding a horse she calls Starlight, a magnificent white beast with long, flowing rainbow colored mane and tail, which appear to be totally natural. * Clarissa is, this morning of travel, riding alongside the caravan, some twenty feet away from the nearest wagon, using her everpresent large, floppy, royal purple hat to keep the sun off. Its long white feather trails neatly in the wind, happily indicating wind direction with its leanings. * Kardos is handsome despite being lightly scarred on all visible portions of his body. He carries a simple haversack and a massive sword, the later of which is slung in a leather sheathe with the furr still on the inside. He has no mount, but hasn't had trouble keeping up with the caravan. * Garret is walking right next to Clarissa. He's come on board at the same time as her, and there's probably been talk of him being her guardian, though he's denied every question as such. He's in his mid-twenties, with light brown eyes, raggedly cut and *extremely* pale blond hair, and weathered, fair skin. * Garret is dressed simply and sensibly, in light blues and browns, with a chain shirt for protection. He has Fharlanghn's symbol around his neck, and the only two things about him that particularly stand out are his hat, which is a royal blue with large, white feather (and matches Clarissa's) and his quarterstaff, which is made of a polished, dark wood with an ivory and gold guard. * Garret eyes the sky. I think I disagree with that man. It might rain. You'd be one to know, I suppose. I could probably find out, but I'm not particularly interested. * Lucy doesn't seem terribly phased by this possibility. "Rain is just nature telling the world to turn green." Or muddy. Or blue, really. It can turn fairly blue that way. Or, if one is lucky, several other colors besides. Perhaps, but all at once is a temporary sort of thing. Yes; this makes it all the more appreciable. * Garret speaks with a clipped, solid tone. From around here? Absolutely not. But he's easy to understand. * Kardos speaks, oddly, with a mild elven accent. He does not appear to have even slightly pointed ears, however. * Garret nudges a lazy violet at the side of the road with the edge of his staff, then continues to walk on. What's that, you think it's going to rain? In a day or so. Rain feels great. It's cool, and it feels like it just washes everything away. And soaks your books and makes it hard to walk and blocks your vision. A day, huh? Care to make a wager on that? A 'wager'? You know, a bet. I am unfamiliar with the term, actually. I beg your pardon for this; I am new to this area. * Garret turns his head to look at the man, even slowing a bit so his wagon can catch up. "I'd say that the rain will hit within the next twenty-seven hours or so." My gold piece says it'll hit after then. I'll take that wager. * Kardos observes this arcane practice and frowns. "I see." * Kardos (YU-Mei@host-206-54-194-142.entouch.net) Quit (Ping timeout) (Kardos was frightened away.) (Damn) I as well. Do you have two gold? Yes, but any more and my wife'll kill me if I lose. * Garret laughs. "Then I won't, because I'd rather not have her kill you." * Biggs smiles back at Garret. "You're a cute kid, you know that?" (Uh, I'm not the kid here.) (Nor am I particularly cute.) (... god dammit. wrong one. Scratch that) * Kardos (YU-Mei@host-206-54-194-142.entouch.net) has joined #Aeoth That'd be pretty uncomfortable, believe me. Well, not entirely. If she were to kill you, you'd be at your final reward before too long. She'd do worse than kill me. * Garret raises an eyebrow. "Like?" Like feed him. Terrifying. * Kardos frowns, shrugs, and goes back to watching the countryside. * Lucy gazes at the clouds, fascinated by the shapes and curves. It is! You'd think she was a poison maker with the way she cooks. Maybe she is. You should look into that. * Garret smiles pleasantly and doffs his hat to Biggs before walking more quickly, catching up to Clarissa. The poor fellow. He's going to be down one gold in only a day. * Clarissa shrugs. "Maybe this will motivate him to get better." So what'll you be doing with that shiny metal disc? It will go with the rest of them, obviously. I'll put it to use eventually. * Clarissa perks up an ear. "Thunder already?" That sound... stampede? * Garret chuckles. "He could use i- eh?" He looks to the left. That's not thunder. * Kardos looks to the left as well, following Garret's example. * Lucy shrugs, then looks that direction. * Garret peers, trying to get a better look. "Must be... orcs. This is the plains; it has to be orcs." Pause. "That or Hadoc's army. Again." How long until they're here? * Kardos frowns. "I've never seen an orc. I'm told they're surly, however." They ARE coming here, yes? They look rather like a cross between an elf, a pig, and a wolf. They're ugly, usually smelly, ferocious, and hit hard. Wonder what's brought 'em here. * Kardos frowns, and looks thoughtful for a moment before getting an 'oh yeah' look on his face. "Ah! So that's what that was." The caravan, obviously. (I would say something, but I'm waiting on the GM. ;P) ( Psh. Loser. All the COOL people run off the face of the world. ) (I kind of like the world!) ( And I've always wanted to go Ethereal without magic. ^_~ ) * Biggs looks to the west and shouts to the caravan. "Raiders! Get ready to stand and fight! Move move move!" At his signal the wagons go into a bustle of activity, moving quickly to protect the more delicate cargo wagons of the caravan in the middle while others who were conscripted into fighting and the more expendable wagons make an outer peremiter. This way, at least. Four minutes- yeah. * Clarissa frowns. * Clarissa pats Starlight's neck, then dismounts and sends the horse riding off towards the wagons. If this were the forest, I could slow them... Hmph... * Lucy strokes the handle of an extremely large axe. "Looks like it's time for us to go to work." * Kardos unlimbers his sword, which is vast and ancient and rune-covered and... missing pieces. * Clarissa rubs her hands together in a very unchildlike way, then draws a small knife and knicks the palm of her left hand. * Clarissa dips her right index finger in the blood and sketches a glowing circle in the air, then a star inside that, while incanting gravely, "Starbrite, in my own name I summon thee to battle. By bond of blood and oath, come to my call." * Garret frowns as he watches the orcs for another couple of minutes, then lets out a breath. "I really don't like this sort of thing," he comments, "but it can't be helped. Fharl, old friend, aid my travels." A wave of the hand, and he's hovering a few inches off the ground. * Lucy pats her horse. "Ready?" * Clarissa reaches up as an even larger version of Starlight, rainbow mane spiked up, with slight arcs of electricity trailing occasionally over her flanks, trots out of nowhere to stop at her side. She pats the horse lightly on the shoulder, which is so high she actually has to stand on tiptoe to do it, then mounts up quickly. * Kardos holds his blade with one hand while he pulls out a small amount of ash and holds it between the thumb and forefinger of his off hand. * Clarissa takes hold of the reins and quickly walks the horse over to stand behind and between Kardos and Lucy. [The orcs close in distance, within 150-100 ft. They seem very coordinated, with a small group coming your way! Biggs and his posse charge forward, diverting a small amount of the mounted orcs away from the caravan as they trail them off into the distance. A small group seems intent to go through you to get to the goal of the grain stores.] [Three of the troopers and one of the captains sees you as a weak link in the defenses, and the captain (On his war wolf mount) barks some orders to his three troopers and points in your direction. The head hancho (You can tell because he has the biggest hat and the most muscles) is currently sitting back and directing the attack through his aide who is clearly a magic user, from the staff to the robes.] * Garret shoots directly upwards about thirty feet and points his staff down towards the orc leader, yelling, "Fharlanghn, bind this danger to the roads!" Apparently, this is a good enough prayer for his god, because the orc does just that, freezing mid orcish word. [The Orcish leader's aide goes into a brief panic before his turn's over.] * Kardos waves the dust casually towards one of the orcish footsoldiers, and a blob of fire shoots from his hand, clipping the offending brute. [The orcish leader roars something in orcish as he charges you, trying to slice Kardos in two and almost succeeding as a clearly audible crunch can be heard as his blade bites into the poor human's shoulder.] * Lucy leans forward a bit, holding her Very Large Axe in both hands, as she tries to balance herself in her rider's seat. "Let's go!" She and her travelling companion dart towards the nearest target. * Lucy takes a wild sideways swing with her axe. "Be satisfied with what you've already got and back off!" ( Er. That should be Lucy, right? ) * Clarissa raises her left hand and quickly squeezes the cut she already made, letting out a few more drops of blood. She drops her finger and quickly sketches another pentagram in the air, intoning, "By right of elemental blood pact, I, summon FIRE." A blaze of fire erupts just on the other side of the captain from Lucy and rages wildly at the orcish captain, but as yet sets nothing aflame but grass. * Lucy rebalances herself as the axe cleaves through a good portion of the Orcish Captain. She pats her horse. "Your turn!" * Lucy hangs onto the saddle as the horse whinnies and raises its two front hooves, smashing one into her adversary's sternum. [The orc footsoldiers charge and chop at you guys like lumberjacks with their greataxes! Two of them manage to sink their axes into Lucy, causing a great deal of damage to her and/or her mount, while one strikes near Kardos.] * Kardos spins to the side, avoiding the Orc's attack. * Garret drops down from the sky the second the axes touch Lucy, folding his legs so he's hovering over her horse. He places a hand lightly on her shoulder. "Best not let them kill you, don't you think?" he asks casually as the worst of her wounds close. * Lucy leans back a bit. "Thanks." * Garret grins. [The Aide, who quickly regains his composure calmly casts a spell on the leader, who seems to have the Hold on him lifted.] [The Aide also mentions a few words to the leader, who shakily nods.] * Kardos continues his spin, using it to bring his sword up into the orc that tried to attack him. * Kardos wounds the orc severely with this motion, and steps past him before turning to his back. [The Orc captain brings his sword around, trying to slash at Kardos while his wolf bites at him. But the timing is just off as the unexpected lunge knocks the weapon's strike away while the wolf sinks its teeth into Kardos's leg, not managing to bring Kardos down with its jaws.] * Lucy reels back with her axe and makes another sideways swing at him. ( er, at the orc catpain) * Clarissa barks out a command in a strange, angry-sounding language, then commences the drawing of another pentagram. [Lucy gibs the captain with her axe, orc guts flying everywhere as her axe bites through the captain and down into the wolve's neck, while the fire elemental slams its flaming mass into the remains of the wolf and captain, setting them on fire and killing the wolf off.] * Lucy hits HARD. THe Orc Captain's upper half sticks to her axe, as it continues in its path and strikes another nearby orc, before sliding off. * Lucy pulls back on her horse's reins. "Go get 'im!" The horse swings its hooves a bit before trying to bite down with its plant-grinding teeth. The orc reels from one of the blows, conveniently putting him out of the second and third strikes. * Clarissa finishes her second pentagon, and it flares brightly this time. Around the other orc next to Lucy, a raging inferno springs up, and suddenly there's little more than a charred skeleton left where an orc used to be. [The last orc standing swings wildly at Kardos, taking a nice gash out of his *other* shoulder with his solid hit.] * Garret is suddenly right above Kardos. How did he get there? He flew, of course. "That's just not pleasant," he says, tapping the younger man on the forehead. His shoulders start the quick process of mending themselves. (His -> Kardos') (To avoid confusion.) [The orcish leader nods to the aide, who casts another spell as they retreat, the attack breaking off from the camp at a *very* fast pace and, given the caravan isn't in a condition to give chase (with protecting stuff), nobody runs after them. ] Indeed, it is not. * Kardos takes a parting shot at the orc with his sword, swinging it in a wide arc. * Kardos takes the orc's head off with little incident. He looks around at the retreating orcs and turns to see how the others are doing. * Garret hovers back and lands on the ground, feet first. He, too, watches the orcs go, then turns and walks in a hurried pace towards caravan proper. * Lucy glances around. "You guys alright?' Fine. Let's make sure they are. Tollerably. And I will be better in a moment. And yourself? * Clarissa calls out in that harsh, angry language again and the fires dissipate. * Lucy waves to Garret. "Thanks for the help again." * Garret turns to smile at Lucy and tip his feathered cap, then keeps walking for the caravan. * Clarissa walks through the bodies, quickly and calmly searching each orc body, slowly gathering a pile of valuable-looking goods. * Kardos makes a note to thank Garret later, and begins salvage operations. [The caravan seems to have fended off the orcs, except for one of the three groups defending the caravan (there were four, one of them was with Biggs who distracted the orcish cavalry) who got run through by an orcish charge. The orcs didn't seem to take as much as they could have, but definetly did some damage. Not to mention killed the three depending that portal.] * Lucy frowns. [The caravan quickly starts to re-assemble back into its moving self, while the bodies and damaged wagons are loaded/patched up as needed.] * Garret heals who he can and repairs the most serious damages with a handy spell or two. * Kardos finishes assisting in the looting of orcses and heads towards Garret. * Clarissa finishes looting the bodies and mounts up again, watching the horizon and slowly sucking on her cut palm. * Lucy resumes movement, as serene as she was that morning, but somewhat more messy. * Kardos catches up to the pimphat priest. "Thank you for your assistance in the skirmish, Garret." * Garret sets his hand against an axle, and it starts to mend itself. "It wasn't a problem." I'm not much of a fighter, but I do what I can. * Garret checks the wagon over one more time, then starts to walk back to the ladies, using his staff as a walking stick. "They owe the rest of you much more, I'm sure." You believe so? * Kardos sounds genuinely curious and perhaps even confused as he asks. Well, I don't think *I* got them to run away. Thanks. Just doing what I can. Well, there is that, I suppose. This sort of occurrence is common? Common enough that we'll probably run into another raid before we hit the city. * Garret tips his hat to Lucy, again, and looks to the little girl. "Anything interesting, Clarissa?" Glowing greatsword, probably not more than a basic enchantment. Some high quality axes. Good armor is always worth a bundle. Magical armor, too. Armor sounds great. Might save you a little work, too. * Garret whistles. "Nice. Well, we get what we kill." He looks at the others. Well equipped orcs. I wonder why they retreated so easily. I understand the other parties didn't fare well. * Garret smiles a little. "And their leader was a bit shaken. They probably thought we were more powerful than we are." If they're back, we'll have more trouble. We'd best prepare for the possibility. * Kardos nods. They'll probably be angry, too. Whatcha wanna do to get ready? Hm. We do not have supplies to fortify this position, do we? I think we should keep going. That is entirely up to the caravan master. * Garret nods. We will likely continue through the night. * Kardos nods. I have enough resources left to turn away another attack, unless they concentrate specifically on me. As long as the horses and mules can manage; I do not believe we will want for drivers. The best course of action is for you to distract them, if you can. If that is the best course of action, then it is what I will do. * Kardos for some strange reason, doesn't seem bothered about taking suggestions from a prepubescent girl, oddly enough. * Clarissa shoots a questioning look to Garret. * Garret holds up his free hand and waves it in a so so gesture. "It'd be iffy," he tells Clarissa. * Clarissa frowns. What's done is done. Things'll be fine, Clarissa. I at least have faith in you. * Kardos blinks. Is something wrong? * Garret doesn't seem to find it the least bit odd to talk to a prepubescent girl that way, either. If they return, stay close. I'll weaken them as much as I can before you need to engage. Garret is low on resources, so the less damage you take, the better. * Kardos nods. "I will endeavor to remain intact, then." [A woman walks out. She's wearing a white lab coat and glasses, talking with a communicator on her wrist. "Yes, doctor. Things are comming along just as you've anticipated. I'm bringing her to you now." Behind her, two men wheel out a push cart with a large... looks like a refridgerator, kinda. There's a window on the front though. And foggy though it is, you can make out a person in there.] 2d8-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Rowyn (2d8-2) and gets a natural 14 for a result of 12. (Oh god.) * Rowyn is now known as Khalil (Shit.) (Ignore that.) ( ... ) ( ... ) (I was JUST PASTING something to Rowyn and missed- gah.) ( haha. ) * Garret nods. He looks to Kardos and Lucy. "Do you mind if we wait until we reach the city before we discuss loot?" ( My goodness. Garret, are you haveing a seizure? ) ( Urk.) (XD) (Remember to edit it) (Hya. If you MAKE A PAGE.) Loot? Ah, the salvage. No, not at all. (Garret uses the word "loot". Hooray!) There is a significant amount of plunder, but it is not yet in an easily divisible form. * Garret looks back at the caravan. We have time for that later, I believe? More than enough. * Kardos nods. [Session END!] So, Kevin. Make a page. Dammit. x.x woot Wheee efun Do we still hang out in #CWDisc or one of these two channels or what? A #CWDISC is fine too These two channels aren't for hanging out in. I'd prefer them to be empty most of the time. ah Session Close: Fri Jun 09 23:49:46 2006 Session Start: Fri Jun 16 19:54:14 2006 Session Ident: #Aeoth * Now talking in #Aeoth * ChanServ sets mode: +nrt * ChanServ changes topic to '' * ChanServ sets mode: -o NinjaDebugger * Zegon (zegon@c-24-15-245-98.hsd1.il.comcast.net) has joined #Aeoth * ChanServ sets mode: +o Zegon * Nasira (ardweden@c-24-15-245-98.hsd1.il.comcast.net) has joined #aeoth A CHALLENGER APPEARS!

Okay. Uh... What day was last session? In-game, not out-of-game. [18:30] [Starting session, yo. Put OOC chatter in OOC channel, yo yo yeah.] [18:32] [Day, day, hmmm... Sure, we'll start it on June 9th of... some stupid number. Let's go with 1221 because it's a palendrome. * Schneeway (Schneeble@c-24-98-28-152.hsd1.ga.comcast.net) has joined #Aeoth Okay, let's get this train wreckarollin'. Psh. At the most, it'll be a bicycle wreck. train wreck isn't until we're level 15 ...mind, I once managed a very spectacular bicycle wreck. Me too! [Funky town! Is not where our heroes are today. They're on a caravan that got sacked last night, and even though they fended off the orc raiders, there seems to be much worry among the caravaners, espically since it's the next day and, even though you've made slow progress, Biggs has yet to return with his troupe of diversionary forces. It's the early morning and you've had time to put up defenses and spells, as well as pray, this morning. (Cut? this morning.) ] [Presumably you've eaten too, but if not no big. You'll get plenty hungry later on. The caravan headmaster, Wedge Redshirt, looks particularly concerned for his brother (who was Biggs) as he asks to meet you as soon as possible. He mentions that you should be prepared to set out and fight.] [You may meet him whenever you like to ask questions and continue in whatever line of reasoning you may. The sky is partly cloudy as it's late dawn when the session starts.] [Session start!] [Oh, as a note, Wedge is a fairly non-descript human, plainly dressed and slightly tanned.] * Clarissa heads over as soon as she's finished preparing for the day. [Wedge is concerned and stuff, and it shows.] * Lucy finishes taking care of her horse for the time, and notices Wedge looking down. "Hey." (Are we stopped or going right now?) [The caravan hasn't started moving for the day yet.] * Garret gets dressed. Always important. He prays, too. Also important. * Garret then makes his way cross-camp to Wedge, because he has been summoned, hat on head and staff in hand. Oh, hello hello. I'm very worried, he's always back before nightfall when he does that.... And he took some of the escort with him and they haven't come back either... * Garret blinks. I'm sorry? His brother. The one I have a bet with. Oh, sorry, sorry. I'm speaking of Biggs, he's always returned or sent someone back if they've got a snag. Yes, that would be him. Maybe he's lost? Unlikely. He seemed competent enough. Oh no, we've gone down this path several times. And he's a trained ranger too. And, and, he has others with him too. He's always been good at selecting help. * Garret rubs at the scruffy stubble on his chin. "What did he leave for?" Durring the attack he led the mounted orc raiders away from the caravan with those under his command. But even if he didn't handle it well, he should have sent word or something back... * Kardos has awakened from where he slept (on the ground, in his armor and everything), has performed some stretches and wake-up exercises, and is now listening to the others converse with Wedge. Ah... * Garret pauses, thinking about just how many mounted raiders there were, then sighs. "Unfortunately, you might have to prepare for the worst." Well, if he needs help, let's help him. Provided we can do so without leaving the caravan unguarded. * Garret looks at Kardos, just noticing he's there, and nods. * Garret nods. "Yes, I know, but I know he's still alive too. He hasn't sent me a message, but he's still alive... Could you please go out and find him? It's why I asked for you and not the others, since they don't seem very well suited to any sort of speed." (Dude, I'm talking!) (Err... * Kardos goes back to being obseqious. (Wedge said that) Of course he's still alive. We'll bring him back. Tracking a pile of orc rangers would be easy, but you'd best be prepared to defend your caravan without us if we do this. Sure. (orc riders, even.) Yes, yes, we have another group who's prepared to defend the caravan. I think you can track his group without too much issue, since it did not rain. I'll do my best. * Kardos nods. We'll bring him back to you, mister. Don't worry. * Clarissa smiles brightly. (Aw, she's such a cute kid.) * Wedge nods to Clarissa and smiles. "That's nice of you to say little girl." He's clearly paying more attention to the older people, though. In particular Garret. * Clarissa frowns. Which way did he go? Can you point it out? * Wedge points in a direction to the south and east, which eventually proceeds along some very sparse woodland. * Garret takes a look, squinting at the sun a bit, then nods. "We'll see what we can do, but I make no promises." * Garret nods to Wedge, then starts walking southeast. * Kardos looks thoughtful for a moment, gives Wedge a gesture halfway between a nod and bow, and proceeds after Garret. I undrestand. We'll move slowly for about five days north, which should let you catch up easily. If you don't find anything in that time, please return. I wouldn't want your loss on my conscience. * Clarissa turns around and runs after Garret. 5 days? I bet we could probably do it a lot faster than that. I hope so, yes. * Garret smiles at Clarissa as she catches up to him. "Never a dull moment, right?" * Clarissa hmphs. * Lucy looks in the general direction of the sun, though not directly at it. "Think this is a good time to get going?" It's ALWAYS a good time to get going. It's always an- I was just about to say that. So sayeth Fharlanghn. In any case, saddle up, Lucy. We have quite a journey. * Clarissa pricks her finger lightly and quickly summons Starbright, big, scary looking rainbow horse of DOOM. (*puts a colon in place of that first comma) * Lucy smiles softly. * Lucy heads to her horse and mounts * Kardos does not go for the horse he does not have. * Garret stretches a bit, then starts walking towards the woodlands. * Kardos walks alongside and slightly behind Garret. * Clarissa walks her wondrous horse alongside Garret. * Garret finds a set of tracks. He taps at one of the hoofprints with the butt of his staff and says, "This ought to be it." That done, he follows them. [You follow tracks! Yay tracks! Following tracks... tracks... yay. tracks.] You're pretty good at this. Let me know when we get close. * Garret nods. "Fortunately, we're entering a forest." They'd have to slow down. * Kardos looks about silently. [You reach the forest! The tracks go alongside it for a little length, it looked like the horse riders were trying to take the fight into the woods while the wolf riders were hesitant to continue in, but eventually both sets of tracks plunge into the sparse woodland.] [The woodland, like so many in this area, is composed primarily of deciduous trees. Given the climate is fairly warm for most of the year, they tend to do very well here.] * Garret heads right into the woodlands, paying attention to the tracks. We might run into elves. -they- might run into elves. I'm afraid that if they ran into elves, it was probably more like running over them. The elves would be more likely to side with the humans, at least. * Kardos frowns, and doesn't seem to understand the joke, but does not comment. [For those of you familiar with elves and orcs, elves and orcs don't get along. At all.] [Something about Elves liking woods and orcs liking firewood.] (Fire + Wood = Firewood! BRILLIANT!) [The tracks continue on for some time. A note, it's about midday when you reached the woodlands, so it took about a few hours to travel from the caravan to the forested area where the tracks entered the woods. It's about a half hour of following the tracks before there seems to be a standoff between the two forces.] [A number of arrows and other broken items and discarded bottles litter the ground. The bulk of the tracks go south, but a few go east. Both sets of tracks contain wolf and horse prints.] * Garret frowns at this set of tracks, and he starts pacing around. "Damn." * Kardos frowns. * Kardos examines the bottles. Have they been here long? [The bottles haven't been here long. Whatever they contained has long been evaporated, but a couple have a distinct green residue on them.] Heal potions? Who knows? Whatever they are, I don't think identifying them is going to be important... * Lucy looks over the horse and wolf prints. * Garret lets out a heavy sigh. "All right." I can't tell which tracks he created. We need to go two and two. Opposite directions? South and east, really. * Garret points out the break off. We don't have two trackers, do we? * Garret looks to Kardos. Well, there are... how many orcs on each path? And two of us? If we split up? * Kardos shakes his head. "In the past, I have relied on tracks for avoidance, not pursual." * Garret frowns. "All right." He looks at the tracks for a moment longer, then says, "This one." And he starts following the ones going east. * Kardos nods after a moment, and follows. * Lucy moves along [Tracks are cool! And so are you!] * Garret is actually quite warm, now that you mention it. * Kardos is cool? * Clarissa is plenty warm. * Clarissa has her cloak on, now, in fact. [Over and under the brush, it looks like these people knew what they were doing. Their mounts expertly avoided fallen logs and a couple ditches... Well, until one has an abrupt stop. And so did the wolf about 20 feet further.] * Garret stops when they do. "Hm." [They keep going, south, east, jockeying for position. The tracks eventually approach a clearing up ahead, with evening approaching as you do so. About five hours have passed since you've entered the forest.] (Whoa, short days. Didn't we start fairly eary morning?) (Oh wait, time to get to the forest. How long have we been traveling total?) * Garret keeps walking after the tracks, and he peers into the clearing as he approaches, slowing. [About 8.5 hours since you've started.] * Clarissa yawns loudly. I'd be more worried about my stomach. * Clarissa turns red as her stomach lets out a loud gurgle. how long has it -been-? * Kardos looks up. "It is past noon." [Oh, you guys realize you're really hungry.] * Garret snickers. * Clarissa grumbles and pulls a ration out from under her cloak. * Garret reaches behind him, producing a ration in much the same fashion. And with a snazzy rhyme. He has a bite and chews thoroughly. * Kardos glances around for something to eat. * Clarissa wolfs down her ration as quick as she can. C'mon, let's GO. * Lucy removes a ration from her pack. It's bound loosely, and contains a large number of dried fruits. She begins eating quickly, taking her surroundings in. * Kardos pulls some deer jerky out of his cloak and begins chewing. * Garret is now in the clearing, one would hope! He looks for... more tracks! Or people. That's fine, too. * Garret also eats. [Kardos, Garret, and Clarissa hear the telltale signs of metal clashing in the distance.] * Clarissa turns her head, then quickly turns her mount and rides. * Lucy blinks, then follows, no questions asked. * Garret looks that way, then starts jogging after Clarissa. He waves for the others to follow. * Kardos blinks. "Astonishing." * Kardos runs in the direction of the noise. [Garret notices a couple figures in the distance fighting when he's at about 250 feet. The rest of you schmucks don't see it until you're within 80 feet or so, except Lucy, who has the misfortune of getting behind an inconvenient tree when she's running which obscures the fighters and sounds from reaching her.] (Stupid pathing.) (Tell me about it.) * Kardos makes a beeline for the two combatants. [Dicesuke must be rolling for both of them, because they can't seem to manage to hit eachother.] * Kardos ignores the 4th wall collapsing and continues on at a run! * Elfy-boy swings at the orc with a flurry of strikes, missing wildly with three of the four, but the third manages to find a kink in the orc's armor and draw a small amount of blood. The wound doesn't seem as severe as it should be, though. * Kardos charges for the orc and swings his mighty sword down towards it when he's close enough. [The attack chinks off of the orc's armor, causing no real damage.] * Clarissa pulls herself up in the saddle as Starbright slows a bit, and just as soon as she's in range, draws a glowing pentagram in the air. Next to the orc, a fountain of ooze sprouts, and a tiny imp-like being flies up out of it, unleashing a blast of acid right into the orc's face. [The orc doesn't get out of the way, but it doesn't seem it needs to as the acid has little effect other than an annoyance to the orc.] * Clarissa frowns. [The orc turns to Kardos, clearly annoyed by the charge and slashes at him with his great axe, scoring a solid hit.] * Kardos grimaces. * Garret holds one hand out to the orc and yells, "Fharlanghn, bind this danger to the roads!" His god doesn't seem to want to, though, because the orc is entirely unaffected and poor Garret curses impotently. * Kardos (YU-Mei@host-206-54-194-142.entouch.net) Quit (Quit: Red..... alert.) [The orc is using a great axe and is wearing a breastplate, while the elf is using two thinblades and is wearing a chain shirt.] [Oh, right, anyways, the elfy tries as hard as he might to hit the orc with a solid blow, but still fails.] * Lucy finally sees what's going on, then leans forward and draws her axe, rocketing forward with her mount * Lucy smashes her axe into the orc. THe horse tries to kick her enemy, but fails to connect. [The orc grimaces, obviously injured by the axe hit.] * Clarissa puts her heels gently t Starbright, and the horse fairly leaps ahead, thundering down on the orc with a vengeance, rearing at the last moment and slamming it with a hoof, even as the mephit tears at it from the other side. * Kardos (YU-Mei@host-206-54-194-142.entouch.net) has joined #Aeoth * Kardos weaves past Lucy and Clarissa's horses, bringing his sword around to the Orc; this time, it crackles with electricity that bursts as the sword tears into the Orc. [The orc, seeing he's clearly outmatched, steps back a few steps, then grins as he puts his mouth forward and breathes a cone of acid on those who were in melee with him as he shouts a prayer in orcish.] [The acidic cloud washes over you, causing damage as most of you suffer the brunt of the hit, although Kardos and Lucy's horse managed to avoid some of the worst of it. The half-orc looks ready to face you again.] * Clarissa screams in pain. (err, the orc.) Aaugh! * Lucy grits her teeth and talks to her horse. "Don't worry, you tried your best." * The elf gets caught in the sideblast of the acid and suffers some serious burns. Coupled with the damage he recieved before you arrived, he collapses on the spot, unconscious but still alive... barely. * Kardos turns to face the orc again. "Garret, tend the elf, please." * Garret grunts and runs, acid eating at his clothes as he slams a hand on the elf's chest. "Get on your feet," he yells. "We're saving your hide, and that means *not* falling over!" * Lucy moves forward quickly and methodically, raises her axe, then swings it horizontally. * Lucy strikes true. Her axe flows throuhg the orc as if it were not there at all. Two seconds later, the orc's top half slides off his lower. [Scratch Lucy's last statement.] [Lucy's axe strikes true, slamming into the orc and rupturing some vital organs, splurting blood everywhere as the orc falls over onto his back, his eyes rolling back in their sockets.] * Clarissa hurriedly banishes the ugly green mephit, then drops a presto and begins cleaning herself off. Disgusting thing. See if -I- ever get in melee combat again. Noooo, I had to let Starbright do what she wanted to. * Lucy gets off the horse and looks over the elf. "Hang in there." * Clarissa dismounts and kicks the orc's corpse, then loots it. [The orc's corpse kicks back. I mean, bleeds back.] He'll be fine. * Garret starts flicking acid off himself. "Good thing none of this stuff got on my hat." And of course, you HAD to be immune to acid. Stupid orcs. * Lucy nods to Garret. "Do we take him with us and head at that other trail til he wakes up? * Kardos looks the freshly dead orc over. "This one was not with the group that attacked the caravan?" * The elfrubs his head. "Oh man, what hit me?" He winces as he tries to get up, but falls back. An orc. We hit him back, however. Are you feeling well enough to talk? * Garret leans against his staff. "He will in a minute." Then we head up the other trail. There isn't much time. That's good. Yeah, yeah, I think so. * The elf sits up and motions, curing himself of some of the wounds. "Thank you, if you didn't come I would have met my final reward much sooner than I would have hoped." Glad to hear we were of service. How did you encounter this orc? * Clarissa silently hands a handful of vials over to Garret. * Garret takes a look at them. "Barkskin," he says of the vile looking slosh, then glances at the clear ones. "Healing potions, all of them." Please, introductions first. I'm Huthar, and to whom do I owe my life? * Kardos nods. "My apologies. I am Kardos, adopted of the Willowhip family of Elanthor in Morn." I'm Lucy Diamantes. * Clarissa nods and tosses them in her bag, for now. Hm? Garret Alephson. * Clarissa looks up at the elf, one eyebrow raised, then recites carefully, "I am Clarissa Natalia Violet Alyssa Cherise Kaitlyn Huntington the Third, Summoner Errant, at your service." She sweeps her hat off and makes an excellent imitation of a swashbuckler's bow to the elf. * Kardos blinks at Clarissa, but doesn't comment. * Huthar nods to Kardos. "I'll put a good word in for you when I get back, so you have proof of your deed. As for how I came across that orc, I was tracking him. The orcs seemed to be gathering en masse in this area, so I decided to draw one of the orcs away. Little did I know the beast'd turn out to be more than I could handle..." They're pretty well organized, I'll give them that. * Garret glances at the sky, checking the time. * Clarissa straightens up and eyes the elf. * Dusk is approaching, but isn't here yet. [Err, Dusk is approaching, but isn't here yet.] * Kardos frowns. "Are orcs usually this well-organized?" Not in my experience. Well, they respect strength. Sometimes, when they have a strong and capable leader. But I've only seen it a couple times in all my years. * Lucy nods, and gets on her horse. "Come on, we'll talk on the way. Wouldn't wanna keep Biggs waiting." Then perhaps we have more than orcs to worry about. ...as through they were not sufficient worry. You said you were tracking him, right? * Kardos shrugs. "Yes, let us proceed." Let's go. We have better things to do than talk to an elf who couldn't kill an orc. I can help track, if you'll have me. But my mount's been killed, so I don't know how quickly I can follow you. (Huthar says that.) (Err, Huthar says that) * Garret nods. "You'll follow quickly enough. Come on, we still have some daylight." He starts doubling back. Hop on the back of mine. I don't mind sharing. * Clarissa grinds her teeth. * Clarissa remounts and rides off back the way she came. * Huthar nods and, sheathing his blades, he starts backtracking, reviewing the tracks as they head back the way they came. * Kardos follows. He seems to be thinking about something. (And end here, if that's what you want to do?) (Yeah.) ( I guess. ^^ ) ( sure. ) ( That's fine ) [And so our heroes proceed through the forest as night sets. Will they find Biggs? Will Biggs be dead already? Why are the orcs so damn organized? These questions and more MIGHT be answered next time, on Aeoth!] [Session End!] Whee! * Lucy is now known as Demota * Demota is now known as Demotafk * Clarissa is now known as NinjaDebugger Session Close: Fri Jun 16 23:54:16 2006 Session Start: Fri Jun 23 17:50:23 2006 Session Ident: #Aeoth * Now talking in #Aeoth * ChanServ sets mode: +nrt * ChanServ changes topic to '' * ChanServ sets mode: -o NinjaDebugger * Arwen (ardweden@c-24-15-245-98.hsd1.il.comcast.net) has joined #aeoth * Zegon (zegon@c-24-15-245-98.hsd1.il.comcast.net) has joined #Aeoth * ChanServ sets mode: +o Zegon * NinjaDebugger is now known as Clarissa * Demota (demota@c-24-6-131-192.hsd1.ca.comcast.net) has joined #Aeoth * Demota is now known as Lucy * Robin (YU-Mei@host-206-54-194-142.entouch.net) has joined #Aeoth * Arwen is now known as Garret [Are you ready to rumble?!] ( YES! ) (YES SIR.) (Robin, you are not.) [Get your butt in character then, Robin.] * Robin is now known as Kardos * Robin has left IRC [Whoho! Rock'n'roll time! June 11th, two days after the raid on the caravan and one day after the fighting took place with the orcish shaman. Since then you've met up with Elfy McE- err, I mean Huthar, who assisted in taking out the orc by being a target and going unconcious. Elfs need more HP, really. Regardless, you awake with the sun not in your eyes (stupid trees) and a spring probably not in your step (who's a morning person here?)] [The watches you guys set up passed by uneventfully, with the wildlife doing its normal thing and pleasently ignoring you crazy humanoids for the time being. You've had time to prepare your spells and get ready to kick ass, so it's time to go save (or find) what's left of Biggs. And take the orc's phat lewt in the process.] [Session start!] * Clarissa whistles cheerfully as she pages through her spellbook. * Kardos is doing his morning exercises, although he may be more cheerful than normal; it's hard to tell. * Garret is sitting on a conveniently shaded log, his hat on top of his propped up staff. He's eating breakfast - rations wrapped in some leaves - and sipping a cup of tea. * Clarissa snaps her book closed. "Everybody ready?" Mmm hmm. * Lucy is finishing up her morning stretches and warmups to prepare for the day. "I'm fine to go whenever you are. * Garret chews up the last of his ration and downs the rest of his tea. "I needed that. Barely ate anything yesterday." * Kardos flips up. "Quite." * Garret stands, brushes himself off, and sets his hat on his head. He grabs hold of his staff. "Huthar?" he calls. * Clarissa slips her spellbook back into her pack and quickly summons Starbright. * Clarissa reaches up and pats her on the flank. "Feeling better this morning?" * Huthar is up and has been scouting around for some of the morning already. "The surroundings are clear, we're free to move on so your Biggs friend isn't kept waiting much longer." Good to hear. Let's go, then. * Kardos nods. * Garret smothers out any remaining fire and starts heading back to the trail. It's really a nice day for a walk. We can't really afford to walk. * Huthar starts leading back to the trail and the fight location, casting a spell of speed on himself (Longstrider). If we can finish this quick, we could still take a walk today. Well. It is a good day for a run, as well. * Kardos hurries after Huthar. * Garret did that right before breakfast, so no stupid elf is going to outdistance him like that. * Clarissa snorts at the silly elf and trots Starbright along through the forest. [It's about an hour before you reach the scene of the Big Fight where the orcs and humans scuffled earlier. The direction you came from is the one with the smaller amount of prints. The path with the huge amount of tracks going south is still there, although a little weathered. You just came from the east.] * Garret looks to the ranger. "Do you see any other tracks besides the two obvious sets?" * Ruthar shakes his head, taking a close inspection of the ground. "Unless you want to follow an owlbear, no." * Garret thinks about that. He wasn't an owlbear last I saw him. * Garret follows the pile o' tracks. I hope not. (Huthar.) * Huthar follows the pile o'tracks too. (Unless this is his evil twin.) * Lucy nods, and follows along. (Right, Huthar. x.x) [Following tracks! Whoho! This is what we went to ranger school for, kids! That's right, tasting guano and smelling dirt.] ( Well, all elves do look alike, you know. ) [This is true.] ( Y'know, like Canadians. ) (Those commies across the border!) * Ardweden has left IRC [Going on for another couple hours, it's approaching midday, but still hasn't hit that timeframe yet. I need spot checks from people.] [And listen checks.] [All of you notice some unnatural rustling and movement ahead of you that just seems to be too common for the wind to cause.] * Huthar puts his hand out, motioning for the group to stop, and puts out a splayed hand counting 'five', pointing in one direction, and then points on the other side of the trail and nods. * Kardos (YU-Mei@host-206-54-194-142.entouch.net) Quit (Quit: Woo!) * Kardos (YU-Mei@host-206-54-194-142.entouch.net) has joined #Aeoth * Huthar points forward and nudges Kardos and Lucy to get them to move into the trap to spring it so he can flank some bishes. * Kardos shrugs, walks forward, and draws his sword in an obvious 'here I am, all out of bubblegum' sort of way. * Lucy draws her greataxe, and rides forward alongside Kardos. * Clarissa reins in Starbright, surreptitiously cutting a slit in her left palm. * Garret reaches to his symbol with his left hand and murmurs, "Fharl, help me take to the air." He hovers a couple of inches off the ground. * A wolf charges out at Kardos as yelling of many orcs can be heard, the wolf trying to take a bite out of Kardos's leg. * Clarissa sketches an glowing pentacle in the air with the speed of great practice as a wolf comes barreling out of the woods. Just behind Lucy, some twenty feet off the ground, a large four-winged bird with no legs pops out of a larger pentacle. Almost immediately, it screeches angrily and slams a bolt of lightning off its wings into the wolf. * Kardos frowns as the wolf takes a bite out of his leg, but does not fall as the wolf had planned. * Kardos pivots and attempts to bring his sword down upon the creature, but the wolf disengages and avoids the blow. * Huthar quickly draws his bow as he moves forward, taking a shot at the orc that's advancing at Kardos from behind, taking it out in a single arrow to the head. * A pair of arrows flies from the cover to the south, one clinking off of Lucy's armor but the other managing to slip between the plates in the shoulder and making a wound. Eugh... * Lucy tries to take her mind off the pain and the distance attacks to focus on more immediate, closer threats * Lucy swings at the nearby wolf, but aims a bit too high. The axe goes over its head. * Lucy 's horse attempts to strike at the wolf, but fails to hit as well * An orc steps out from behind the brush onto the road and fires with his bow, missing Kardos wildly. Meanwhile, another orc charges at Lucy, who's falchion chinks off of Lucy's shining armor to no ill effect. * Garret jumps to the air and zooms, flying past the melee, his feather waving in the wind. Once safely out there, he yells, "Help us protect your trails! Guide our blows in this battle!" * Garret is now known as NotGarret * Arwen (ardweden@herring.sandwich.net) has joined #aeoth * Two orcs charge out and try and smash Lucy, flanking her, while another takes a pop shot at Garret. The arrow, fortunately, goes very wide and lands somewhere out -> there. * Clarissa trots Starbright up to just behind Huthar and draws another pentacle in midair. "By right of blood bond with the Celestial Courts, I, summon the Archons to battle!" * A tiny speck of light, radiating holy menace, appears in midair, and lashes out with a laser at a wolf, singing its fur. * One of the orcs shudders at the summoning, clearly moved. The rest don't seem too bothered by the celestial appearance. * Arwen is now known as Garret * The wolf that was giving Kardos so much trouble keeps at it, biting at the human elf-friend! * Kardos is bitten, again, and takes another swipe at the wolf, once again whiffing royally. * Huthar sees Kardos missing horribly and charges in to help him out, stabbing the wolf with his elven whimpblade. * The two orc rangers back there who were firing earlier fire at the flying cleric, one of them managing to strike him heavily in the leg. * Arwen (ardweden@herring.sandwich.net) has joined #aeoth * Garret (ardweden@herring.sandwich.net) Quit (Ping timeout) * Lucy brings her axe to one side, then performs a wild, wild swing. Two orcs happen to be in the way. * The orcs don't see what's coming as the axe cleanly chops off their heads in one fell swoop, the heads rolling away as the bodies convulse and fall into bleeding heaps on the ground. * Arwen is now known as Garret * Garret flies down to hover by Kardos and lays a hand on his shoulder. "Here's a bit of a pick me up." * Kardos nods. "Much obliged." * One of the orcs misses Garret with his bow wildly as he flies across the landscape, while the second wolf manages to bite nothing but horse barding. The orc flanking Lucy, however, manages to find a weak point in her armor and shove his falchion into it, causing a good amount of blood in her side. * The arrowhawk zooms around foliage to hover directly over the head of an archer before zapping the life out of it with a massive bolt of lightning. At the same time, the lantern archon hovers forward and to one side, and lashes out at that damned immortal wolf with two LASERs, managing somehow to miss a massive dog TWICE. * Kardos is completely dumbfounded. He doesn't even notice the pain in his leg. * The wolf manages to get a bite on Kardos's leg again, shaking wildly as his teeth tear through flesh. He doesn't manage to bring Kardos to the ground, though. * Kardos sighs, mutters under his breath, and strikes at the wolf AGAIN, this time with magic making it possible; he bisects the wolf, who probably looks confused. * Huthar steps past the wolf that was giving Kardos trouble, lines up behind an orc and quickly slits its throat as it's attention is diverted onto Lucy and her horse. * Lucy swings her axe, striking the orc, but narrowly missing the wolf. Her horse attempts to correct that mistake, but fails to hit as well. * The orc falls down, a gaping wound where his heart used to be. * Garret keeps healing Kardos. "Done getting hit yet?" * The remaining wolf misses Lucy wildly. One of the two remaining orcs bolts off in the other direction, running for his very life . By all that's holy, I certainly hope so. * Clarissa kicks Starbright into gear, scrambling past Lucy as the wolf tries to take a bite out of Starbright's flank. Even as that's happening, the angel and the arrowhawk are combining to fry the life out of the wolf, though the thing is tough as nails and refuses to fall. * Clarissa rides Starbright into the undergrowth and hurriedly sends a spell zipping after one of the two remaining orcs. * Kardos attacks the last wolf with a dramatic flourish of his sword. How he can flourish a sword that big is anyone's guess. * Kardos leaves the wolf dead, and leaves fall dramatically around him afterward, as there are no sakura here. * One of the orcs ambles through the brush, growling menacingly at the rest of the group, standing between Clarissa and the rest of them. Hey, buddy. ease up. they're cool. You're cool. We're all cool, right? * The orc doesn't seem to understand Clarissa. ...actually, the weather is rather pleasant, here. * Clarissa rides up behind the orc and taps him on the shoulder. Clarissa, what did you do this time? * Garret floats down to the ground. * The orc looks at Clarissa quizzingly. * Kardos frowns. This... is not typical behavior for an orc, is it? I opened his eyes to the benefits of friendship, Garret. He was obviously charmed by my radiant beauty and stunning intelligence. Apparently he doesn't speak human, though. You know orc, right? * Kardos blinks, then nods. "Ah, you cast a spell on him." * The orc laughs, instantly having an almost about-face. "You funny. I like. Oh, yes, me speak orc. Speak silly human language too... sorta." This is kinda neat. Oh, good! I do, but... that solved that problem. Who friends of cute little girl? Garret, Kardos, and Lucy. Oh, and Thundar the barbarian warhorse and Starbright. * Kardos frowns. You were with those raiders, right? * Garret sidewhispers to Kardos, "He's really well-spoken for an orc." * Kardos glances at Garret to Garret and back before whispering back, "Oh, is he?" * Orc pets Starbright. "Nice horsie. I speak good, other orcs don't like it so they challenge me to fight. I too strong though!" * Kardos doesn't respond, although he wants to. What's your name? * Garret laughs. "Lucky for you." Me um... Oh! Khrosk! Means smasher of many things! * Khrosk beats his chest boldly. * Kardos mutters under his breath, "My, what an efficient language." That's a good name, Krosk. Now tell me... you were part of that raiding party, right? * Khrosk shakes his head rapidly. "Nono, didn't help raid stuff." What were you doing all the way out here, then? * Lucy stands by, admiring the diplomacy. You think Khrosk stupid! Some of tribe go to raid, not whole tribe! That silly. * Khrosk bellows a large laugh again. Oh. Did a bunch of humans and orcs come by here, oh, a day or so ago? * Khrosk thinks hard. "Oh, yes yes! They charge through! Much too fast to stop." Could you lead us where they were going? * Khrosk shakes his head. "Nono, they no like humies there. They definetly not like you." Well, we don't have to go in. We just need to see it. Okay, but I not go with. They no like it when others show where they are, and espically don't like visitors. They like it when you bring back prisoners, though, right? * Khrosk nods. "Oh, yes yes! They like prisoners lots! Where we get some though?" Easy. I surrender. Take me where the other humans were taken. We'll have to ride fast, though, no time for shackles. * Kardos blinks, opens his mouth, closes it, blinks, then smirks faintly. I'll even get a horse for you. * Khrosk blinks. "No? I take you when you surrender, you get sold! That silly, you don't want that!" That's okay, Krosk. I'm sure I'll manage. As long as we get there quick enough. * Kardos is turning away to examine tracks when Khrosk says that - he stops suddenly and turns back. * Huthar sighs and mutters under his breath in elvish as he continues on without you as you talk to the orc, leaving barely a trace. Well, um... I guess. What about Clarissa friends? They surrender, too. You'll be the most powerful orc ever. Legendary, even. * Garret smiles. Session Time: Sat Jun 24 00:00:00 2006 * Khrosk roars. "Khrosk like this idea! Go go!" * Clarissa summons Starlight. "Mount up, Krosk. We've got to hurry." * Kardos shrugs. He's surrendered, alright. * Khrosk mounts the rainbow horsie. "Why is horsie such a girly color?" Because I'm a girl, obviously. * Clarissa laughs. It is bred to be pretty. * Khrosk roars and grins. * Lucy rides along, smiling a bit. "Looks like a good day." * Kardos sweatdrops... and saves it for later use as a spell component. * Garret shields his eyes. Looking good on that horse, Khrosk. Khrosk look good on any horse! ( "No! Mongo straight!" ) [Session end![ ] -> *nickserv* identify whatfour * Clarissa is now known as NinjaDebugger Khrosk: A Cooler Ranger Than Huthar. Oh hell yes. It's too bad we probably can't keep him. I wonder how long it'd take to retrain Huthar. Oh, well. If I just get Kardos Leadership, that'll let us keep him. I'll note that I am NOT letting people take the feat leadership. We like pets! Not even if they have a negative charisma mod? ;P Maybe someone could buy him as a mount. :( ...don't joke about that. One of the first characters made for Living Greyhawk was a master/blaster pair.

People IC, which is good. Okay, ready to do some stupid shit and probably get you guys killed! Actually, I'm not, but that's never stopped me before. It has? Shut up! Yep! XD Go, Zeg, Go! [You guys are SO dead.] [Anyways, when we last left our adventurers, they had 'surrendered' (and thus given exp) to a charmed orc friend so he could take them to his camp where, presumably, Biggs is being held. It is, I'd suppose, their idea to go in, get Biggs or some evidence thereof, and get out with said evidence WITHOUT becoming target practice for their archers OR practice dummies for their warriors.] [Being a good sport about it, Khrosk is cheerfully leading you guys through the forest, almost expecting everyone to take you in as 'friendly slaves' and being a superpowerful orc warrior. The elven Ranger, Huthar, went ahead of you guys and hasn't been seen since.] [It's a bit after midday, about two or three hours, before you start approaching any sembelance of civilization. For the most part you've been going southwest, which would make sense as it'd place the Orcish settlement on the edge of the forest.] [You guys have a while to talk before you enter 'No turning back' territory.] [Session Start!] So, why are we allowing ourselves to be prisoners of orcs, again? So we can understand each other. * Clarissa shushes Kardos. * Kardos sighs. "Yes. Of course." Because Khrosk defeated us. * Kardos rubs his face. Khrosk STRONG! Yes, quite. You're the man. Orc. The orc man. Orcman. Yes. Very good. * Clarissa drops back beside Kardos and whispers, "To get near the camp." * Kardos frowns, is silent a moment, then nods. How much further, Krosk? Not much further! (Khrosk said that.) ( Oh, shit! It's Zegon Destructacon! ) (err, yeah.) ( *dives for cover* XD ) You like Khrosk home. Good place. Plenty of ale and meat! Ale and meat? ...Doesn't sound bad, actually. So how much do you get paid for this whole caravan bandit thing, Krosk? Um... *counts on his fingers.* Not much. Me still very new. You make Khrosk get lots of money though! We sure will. I guarantee it, Krosk. You guys only raid the small caravans, right? Easy targets? * Kardos lets the people with guile do their work. Yes, but boss wanted to raid big caravan this time. Very weird. Say we moving up or something! * Clarissa snorts. "Yeah, and look how well -that- turned out. And even if you -had- succeeded, you'd have got so little that it wouldn't be worth it." Your boss had the right idea, but he's got no head for tactics. * Kardos arches an eyebrow at Clarissa. * Garret just smirks. * Clarissa rides up next to Khrosk. Boss always kinda stupid. But at least he listen to shamans. Sometimes. What do the shamans do? Shaman stuff! Like cast spells... like Frost Shock! * Kardos blinks. Riiiiiiiight. That is -so- suboptimal. So tell me, why are you actually going back to these guys? Meat and ale! Is that -all- you want? Shinies too. I think he said something about gold Okay, Krosk. How much gold do you normally get from a good raid? Um... This much? * Khrosk pulls out a one-pound gold bar. Market value: 50 gold pieces. * Clarissa laughs. That's it? Until Khrosk get better! Krosk, from fighting you guys -twice-, we got more than twenty of those. Each. * Garret eyes the bar, appraising it. "Yup." Of course! You fight stronger orcs! We also fight in smaller groups. So we're more powerful than you, AND better equipped than you. So why aren't you on -our- side? ... Khrosk not get memmo? Get with the program, Krosk. Come with me. You be my bodyguard, you'll be safer, I'll equip you properly, pay you more than you could get as a leader in this little bandit gang, AND you'll have all the meat and ale you can take. Plus, she's a pretty girl on a horse. Okay, but what program Khrosk get with? Hard to say no to that. My program, Krosk. Come with me, do the adventurer thing. It pays better, it's safer, and it's more profitable. Village always say Khrosk special. ^^ You are special. If you weren't, I wouldn't be making you this offer. It's time to move up in the world, and adventurers are higher ont eh food chain than bandits. ... You eat bandits? * Garret snickers. We kill them and take their stuff. That's pretty much the same thing. Not really. Bandits taste funny unless cook just right. ...right. So it's not the same thing, but the point stands. Bandits prey on caravans, adventurers prey on bandits. That means being an adventurer is better than being a bandit. Just as being an eagle is better than being a rabbit. Do caravans prey on adventurers? No, they hire us as protection. Adventurers get money from caravans... so I guess from that point of view, adventurers prey on caravans too. Khrosk adventurer then! So you're gonna join up with us? * Khrosk nods. Great! Perfect. That makes everything a lot easier. Don't tell the other orcs. They'd probably get angry. Yeah, see... the first thing we gotta do is get a guy out of the bandit camp. Oh? What guy? The guy's name is Biggs. He led the riders from that last caravan. * Garret nods. Khrosk also need new name! Khrosk not good enough, need Khrosk the Destroyer, or Khrosk the Raider! How about Khrosk the Intelligent? Intellegent not spark fear and terror in enemies. It *should*. It definitely should. But if that won't do, we'll call you Krosk the Unbreakable. 'Crusher Krosk'? But it doesn't. No need to pick a name right now, though. Don't wanna settle on something too fast. Khrosk the Crusher sounds good, though. ... Crusher Khrosk the Unbreakable. I kind of like it. Nonsense. If he comes up with a better name later, he can always add it on. The longer a name is, the better it is. * Garret grins a little. "Like yours, huh Clarissa?" Like yours? My name is a -very- good name. * Kardos smirks. "Is that so?" I've never heard one quite like it before, honestly. That's because nobody is quite like me. You can't be more right. KRUSHER KHROSK THE UNBREAKABLE! An excellent name. I can *hear* the K's. I can feel them in my innards. An excellent effect. That's because there are an awful lot of them. Unfortunately, getting you properly equipped will have to wait until we get to a proper city... or until we're forced to ransack this bandit camp. Khrosk could buy humanfriend without trouble? * Garret looks interested. "Really?" Ooh. THat'd be awesome. How much? Khrosk don't know. Depends on how handsome and strong and young. Not very, kind of, and nope. What's handsome got to do with the price? * Garret looks at Lucy. If you have to ask, you don't want to know. Just wanted to confirm. He's probably pretty ugly, for an orc. Your friend an orc? No. Then must be more handsome than orc. Orcs ugly. We know this. Aha. * Lucy (demota@c-24-6-131-192.hsd1.ca.comcast.net) Quit (Ping timeout) * Dicething (demota@c-24-6-131-192.hsd1.ca.comcast.net) has joined #Aeoth * Dicething is now known as Lucy Um... If alive? Uh... Ten of these? *points at his gold bar* Maybe Khrosk can just steal though... * Clarissa reaches into her pack and pulls out a shining breastplate. "Take this. Steal him if you can, otherwise, offer this." * Khrosk takes the shield and grins. "Shiny! Definetly enough, yes!" (err, s/shield/breastplate) Excellent. [At about this time the orc encampment comes into view. It's, well... It's very orc. Tents and stuff all over the place, and wolves and horses and, well, yeah. The smell of meat and ale is pretty obvious, but it's definetly something you couldn't take on if they came after you. We're talking a population who could support a fighter population of at least 200 combat capable people.] [It's mostly placed between the plains and the forest, with half of the encampment on each side.

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?] ( Khrosk the Krusher, I think. ) [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*] [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?] ( When's breakfast? ) [In the morning. Next?] ( Are we there yet? ) [No. Ask that again and you lose 1000 exp.] ( Are there many orc communities that don't center around banditry, and what are those like? ) ( ;.; ) [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.] [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?] ( Waiting? Please. Just go. ) ( Waiting? ) ( ...I'm on the same page as ND. We're all doomed! ;_; ) [I mean what time of day are you sending him at, or are you just going 'Sic'em boy!'?] ( The latter, more or less. Let him handle himself. ) [Righteo. Khrosk goes in. Would you like me to FF until something happens?] ( Yes, more or less. ) ( SUre ) [Alrighty. Session Start, I'll let you guys talk while I type.] * 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. * Kardos frowns and mutters, "Why does this remind me of something?" I don't know. Why DOES it remind you of something? It reminds me of orcs. [Woah, no shit. Really?] * 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. Shh, I want to hear the punchline, Garret. * Kardos blinks, and says quietly, "My apologies; I did not know I was speaking out loud." Wait. No punchline? 'Punchline'? * Garret blinks at Kardos. ... You don't know what a punchline is, do you. [Kardos fails.] * Clarissa sighs and goes back to petting Starbright. * Kardos sighs. "My apologies once more; I am somewhat new to... many things." He looks embarrassed. You'll be fine. On the other hand... Clarissa, you do know that they can likely see your horse from here, if they look this way? Well, if any of them come this way, kill them. * Kardos looks back at the camp. "And... what if all of them come this way?" Easy. You guys run, and I fly around behind them and rescue that guy. [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*.] ...yes, run. Of course. Perhaps I should start now. No, I think they're having a party. * Garret squints. A party? How can you tell? Nobody's died yet. Probably. Oh. [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.] * Kardos blinks. Oh, looks like he brought a friend. I hope the horses don't go crazy. [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.] * Lucy frowns. Is this, then, how orcs party? Don't most burn smaller plants, and only after drying them? * 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." ^^ Hey, there's a lot more to it than drying. * Garret waves at the orc. "Hey, Khrosk! Are they having a party?" * Lucy applauds. "Good work." Khrosk don't know. They either fighting, partying, dancing, praying, eating, playing, or debating. * Clarissa laughs. No plan for party today though. Good job, Khrosk. Good job, Khrosk. Who's your friend? Khursk! Good she-dog. Khursk like Biggs lots so Khrosk take. * Lucy smiles and waves at the wolf. * Khursk looks very wolfie. * Garret takes a look at the wolf. "Well, she's not about to eat me. So I have no objections." Very good job. Go ahead and put Biggs on your horse, and we'll get out of here. * Khurks also is very big. As in, can eat horses big. (err, Khursk) * Kardos nods respectfully to the enormous wold. As long as it doesn't have a luckstone. * 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. Great work. Let's go. Think that elf made it back okay? [Elfy McElf isn't anywhere to be found.] ...orcs hate elves a great deal, yes? I dunno. Not back home, but we don't really hate over there. More like a healthy and professional disrespect. * Clarissa stops for a moment. You can't possibly be serious, Kardos. He couldn't have been stupid enough to get himself captured. Do you think so? Khrosk, did you see any elf back there? ...frankly, no. * Clarissa facepalms. * Ardweden has left IRC * Ardweden is on IRC * Khrosk blinks at Lucy. "Yes? Plenty of dead and not-dead elf that anger tribe by being elf." * Ardweden has left IRC * Ardweden is on IRC I also don't think we have any real hope of rescuing any of them. * Kardos scowls. "Perhaps. Even if we awaken Biggs and arm him, it is six of us to... perhaps one hundred of them. Horrible odds." [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.] Clarissa, can you summon creatures that fly and have sharp talons? Large eagles, perhaps? ( Ten? ) 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. [At least.] [But you don't know that. Honest.] I can summon a giant eagle or two, but they'd be shot down. Best we can do is just send word that we've found the camp. That would be an interesting reversal. In addition, I doubt the local elven communnities would let this stand. Even if orcs aren't particularly good archers, there are so many of them that it's simply not viable, let alone optimal. You are, of course, correct, Clarissa. Perhaps we ought to consider recompense rather than rescue. They're not going to sell their elves. * Garret shakes his head. "I just hope he wasn't caught. If he *was*, there isn't much we can do for him now." * Kardos shakes his head. "I was speaking of 'paying them back for what they've done'." 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. Agreed. We're here to save Biggs. Let's do that. Yes. But someone should notify the elves. They doubtless know already. [Little does Kardos know the elves know already.] We've got him, so who'll tell the elves where the camp is, and who'll go back to the caravan? 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. So... * Garret looks at Kardos. "You're not going to charge in there, right?" * Kardos looks at Garret. "Do I honestly seem such a fool?" Such was never my intent. Thank Fharl. Let's get back to the caravan, then. Come along, Khrosk. * Clarissa mounts up and takes the reins of Starlite. I guess I'll go let the elves know. This should be over quickly. Meet you back at the caravan? Can you find your way? I will go with Lucy. I can find my way, and I know much about elven communities. As you like. * Lucy nods * 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." * Clarissa nods. (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.) * Garret walks off towards where the caravan would probably be. Come along, Khrosk. * Clarissa starts back to the caravan. ( ah. X_x ) (They're still allowed to do that if they want, though.) (From a logistics standpoint, it's not very feasable. But you can try that if you want anyways.) ( I guess we could hire a messenger? ) ( Fine, Kardos will do it on his own. ) ( Is there much at risk for taking that sort of time? ) ( If not, I'd be fine with doing tha twith Kardos ) (Nothing beyond the caravan possibly leaving without you.) ( Eugh. ) (Also, seriously, it's not a tremendously huge deal regardless. Do what's IC. Things work out.) (You'll likely lose track of the caravan and you'll split the party, thus driving me nuts. But other than that... Not really.) (Do what's IC, I'll work it out.) (IF anything, I'll just Fast Forward over it.) ( Any objections to that? ) ( Nope. Go for it. ) ( Alright ) [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.] Sorry, guys. No prob. Just let it out and be ready for next session, okay? ^_^ -> *nickserv* identify whatfour * Clarissa is now known as NinjaDebugger alright Robin, will you be okay? Yes.

Yeah. Um... Crap, when did the game leave off...] ( Kard and Lucy were heading to rejoin the caravan while Clarissa and Garret had, presumably already joined. ) [Yeah, I'm trying to remember the time. Was it in early June?] [Date: June 25th, 1221 ECE Yeah, lots of time went by, but I figure you guys don't want to RP the wagon wheels turning.] [Welcome to New Anbor, as some of you have already reached here (Garret and Clarissa) and those of you who are just arriving (Lucy and Kardos) have found out is a coastal city! Or maybe you've been here before or seen a pseudo-accurate map. Anyways, the city has a long and deep cultural heratage, yada yada...] [But, you're not here for that, no. You're hear because of FAME! FORTUNE! ALE! WENCHES! And all that cool jazz floats your boat. Or maybe you're just here because the plot train pushed you here...] * Robin is now known as Kardos [Actually, in all reality, you're probably here just to get paid. And make sure the shipment of 'tobacco' got through.] (Khrosk is with us!) [Yes he is! BECAUSE HE IS TEH AWESOME!] ( Yay! ) ( -_-; ) [Although the guards looked at you VERY strangely for taking the orc into town, there wasn't a random ordinance they could throw at you to stop it.] [New Anbor is a bustling, but small city, settled by the people of the Inden isles on the north-east coast of Gisal. It's main source of income is, well, trade, as it is in a prime location for such. Several ships, both exploratory and trade-minded, have been dispatched from this port, and it wouldn't be surprising if some great discoveries come from here in the future.] [But for now, onto the more important matters at hand. MONEY! Kardos and Lucy are entering the gates and just inside the gates are the short-term-stay residential areas, where many of the caravans take up temporary residence to sell their wares and handle business.] [Session start!] * Lucy steps into the gate and admires the diversity of the atmosphere. * Kardos steps through the gate and tries to cover his nose after noticing the diversity of the atmosphere. * Garret takes a deep breath in the face of diversity! * Clarissa steps inside and looks around, trying not to breathe too deeply. [Diversity is a good way to describe the city. Races of almost every size and shape can be seen, even the odd lizardfolk, kobold, or even the more bizzare goliath or raptoran. For the most part, it's human, elven, and gnome dominated, though.] [The caravan's been situated there for a good 2 days waiting for Kardos and Lucy to catch up, so Clarissa and Garret have had time to look around town a bit, liquidate goods, and such.] Let's find them. HOpe we didn't slow them down too much * Kardos simply nods, hoping he won't have to try tracking their companions by scent. [It's not too hard to find them, they're the third caravan in the second row down the fifth street. Can't miss'em.] * Garret is with the caravan! He's sitting on the edge of one of the wagons, polishing his shoes and humming to himself. His staff is nearby. * Lucy waves (Shoes being synonymous with boots. XD) * Clarissa is happily examining a small bag of gems, and picking out the ones she wants. * Garret looks up and doffs his hat to Lucy. "I see you made it," he says with a smile. * Kardos nods to Garret and says "Good day." * Lucy smiles. "Glad to see you again. Hope you didn't find the wait too terrible." * Wedge spreads his arms in welcome. "Ah, Lucy, Kardos! I was afraid I wouldn't see you again! Thank you, thank you so much." * Kardos still looks like he's making an effort to breathe without smelling or tasting the air; he isn't making much progress. A bit, but I'll be off soon enough. Some time to put the accounts in order isn't too unwelcome. Ah, Wedge. I am pleased to see that you are well. * Kardos does seem pleased, although in his usual subdued way. [The scents are FAR too subdued to make out much of anything in specifics right now. There's just way too much going on.] Ah, yes, I do hope you didn't have too much trouble reaching us. I was afraid you wouldn't find your way here, but Clarissa and Garret assured me you could reach us just fine.] * Khrosk is strangely absent. * Garret sets his left boot down and starts on his right, scraping gunk off of it. "Anybody can find north," he reasons. "How were the elves?" Finding north is easy, just look for the mossy side of the tree. They were pretty hospitable. * Kardos nods. "They were well, and they were aware of the orc encampment, but we were able to provide additional information." Additionally, they are rallying assistance in order to remove the camp. Good to hear. * Kardos nods. * Garret scrubs at the top vigorously. "I think the head is a couple of wagons down. You might want to talk to him about pay." * Kardos nods again. "I hope the remainder of your journey was uneventful?" That's ceratinly good to hear. Biggs is still recovering from his ordeal, but he's expected to make a full recovery. As for payment, I decided that letting you take your pick of some of my wears or some gold would suffice for those of you more inclined to such things... Our journey was rather uneventful, thank you. ^^ Glad to hear you're alright * Kardos nods. "I am glad." * Clarissa grabs one of the gems off the cloth. "Okay, done!" * Garret looks at Clarissa, amused. "Took you long enough." * Lucy smiles When selecting gems, it is necessary to take only those of best quality. Anything else is definitely sub-optimal. -> *nickserv* identify whatfour -> *nickserv* identify whatfour * Clarissa is now known as NinjaDebugger * NinjaDebugger is now known as Clarissa * Clarissa bundles up the other stones into two bags, puts those in two larger bags of coinage, and holds one each out to Lucy and Kardos. * Kardos takes a ring and examines it, and intones in almost legalistic terms that he will accept it was payment. * Kardos accepts his lewt from Clari, as well. * Lucy looks over the wares and turns to the others. "What would you reccomend? The haversack and the hat are most optimal. For sheer burst power, I suggest the oils, or the necklace. ( Retcon. ) ( Pls? ) (Sure.) (What're you retconning? c.c) ( Kard already has a ring. ) (Oh.) ( I've already got a ring identical to the one Kard just picked. So unless they stack... ) (Which they don't.) ( Exactly. ) The horseshoes are also an excellent choice. * Kardos selects a vial of oil and nods his thanks to Wedge. * Wedge nods back to Kardos. "Fine choice. Those vials are very rare, and will turn even a mundane weapon into a most potent one for almost one full day." Likely to be useful at some point. * Wedge nods. I don't like to take stuff that gets used up... so it's probably the hat or the sack * Garret pulls out a silver coin. "Would you like me to flip for you?" The sack is always useful, but the horseshoes are optimal for your style of combat. * Wedge smiles. "The sack's very good, it can hold much more than it shows. And anything inside is essentially weightless!" While the hat, like many of its type, will let you impersonate just about anyone. Just make sure not to open your mouth. Nah, doesn't sound like my style. What can you tell me about the horseshoes, though? I can vouch for the value of Heward's sack; mine has served well. Ah, if you like your steed fast, the horseshoes will do just that, increasing their speed greatly. For most horses, it can increase their speed to one and a half, while slower horses can almost double in speed. * Lucy looks to the horse that is sometimes called Thundar the Barbarian for a reaction. * THUNDAR THE BARBARIAN does not look swayed one way or the other. I'll take the shoes. * Wedge nods. "Will you need someone to put them on your steed for you? I don't know how well versed you are in these things." That'd be great. Okay, hold on... * Wedge pulls out a quill and some parchment and quickly jots down a name and address. "There you go, just tell him Wedge sent you, he'll understand." Sure, thanks * Garret finishes his other boot and looks it over, gives it a satisfied nod, and pulls them back onto his feet. * Kardos hums. ( Whoop. Wrong channel. ) * Garret finishes, slaps his legs, and gets to his feet. He grabs his walking stick and turns to the rest of you with a smile. "Well, I'd best be off." Oh? And where are you going? * Kardos pauses, thinking. "Or does it matter?" * Clarissa looks up at Garret and sighs. Not really, but I figure I'll head towards Oriel. * Kardos nods. * Garret blinks. "Something wrong, Clarissa?" I don't want you to leave. Oh. * Kardos looks between Clarissa and Garret, nods, and scrupulously says nothing more on the subject. * Garret thinks about that for a moment, then chuckles. "That's not something I hear often, I'm afraid." * Wedge holds out his right hand to Garret for him to grasp. Ah... * Garret shakes Wedge's hand. "Good travelling with you." It's a shame to have to say bye this early. Let's hope we'll meet again? You too. If you need me and I'm around, don't hesitate to ask. I'll keep that in mind, and the same goes for you. Good luck with your business. It was good travelling with you, as well, Garret. I enjoyed our discussions on theology. Thanks I did too, Kardos. People usually don't like to talk about those things. * Garret grins. "Or they take them too seriously." * Kardos tilts his head at that, looking momentarily confused, and then nods. "Well, more the pitty; much of your ideas are unconventional, but no less well-thought for it." * Garret nods, then looks back to Clarissa. He crouches a little to look her in the eyes. "I'll miss you too, you know. Not many people know what's optimal or not." He says that like he's totally serious. Anybody who looks can see it. * Clarissa sniffs and looks disturbingly like the little girl she is, then reaches out and grabs Garret in a hug. * Garret blinks, then leans his staff back against the wagon and gives Clarissa a hug back. Aw. [Awwww.] * Kardos seems confused by this, as well. But it's still sweet. Awwww. * Clarissa lets Garret go. "I have to go report to the Order. The Or... ah, that is right. * Lucy watches. Do you mind if we accompany you? * Clarissa shrugs. * Garret nods and reaches into the side pouch of his pack. "Before you go." He hands it to Clarissa; it's a long, satiny, curled pink ribbon. At the top is a small bow with a bit of lace and a pin in the back. "Here." * Kardos has marked difficulty looking directly at the bright pinkness; he squints and half-looks at it as though trying to observe a renegade sun. * Clarissa blinks. * Lucy smiles. * Clarissa takes the ribbon gently. "What's this?" * Garret smiles. "Just a present." He taps it. "I enchanted it so it'll glow as well as your light spell when you want, so you don't need to waste your time with that nonsense when you need a source." * Clarissa smiles happily. * Kardos is *very* confused, now. He makes note to engage in further study on the subject. * Garret pushes Clarissa's hat so it's more firmly on her head - maybe that's like ruffling someone's hair? - and then stands fully, giving the lot of you a wave. "Take care. I'll see you around." Good luck * Kardos nods. "Swift travels and calm weather, Garret." B-bye, Garret. Enjoy the journey, Clarissa. I expect you'll me all about it. * Garret smiles, doffs his hat, and walks on out towards city proper, weaving through the crowds. He's quickly out of sight. * Lucy watches, looking forward to their next meeting. * Kardos is quiet as he tries to figure out how to handle a sad little girl. * Clarissa stuffs the ribbon in her pocket and starts slowly in the direction of the Order's office. * Kardos decides to accompany her, if nothing else. * Lucy walks alongside her [Session End!

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.] [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...] [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.] [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.] [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.] [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.] [Session start!] [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.] What do you think of the job prospects? * Clarissa is eating a large breakfast, and her mouth is rather full at the moment. * Kardos is eating a simple breakfast of saussage and greens. * Lucy eats a rather plain, but filling breakfast * Clarissa swallows and washes it down with a big drink of milk. _I_ think that the adventurer's guild is the best option, but barring that, there's always the churches. * Kardos shrugs philosophically at Clarissa's question; he doesn't seem to have much of an oppinion on the matter. * Kardos blinks as Clarissa answers. What churches are in the area? Heironeous and Pelor, obviously. Where there are thieves, there's a temple to Olidammara somewhere, and the dwarves probably have a temple to Moradin. Hm. I've been meaning to speak to a Pelorite scholar for some time, actually. Whatever you pick, I'm fine with it. I trust your judgement. Though the churches would be kinda interesting * Khrosk is drinking as always. "Khrosk need more meat!" * Kardos looks at Clarissa. "Would you consent to visiting the temple of Pelor?" * Clarissa shrugs. * Clarissa shovels down the last of her sausage, potatoes, and veggies. Pelor's priests are pretty generous. No reason not to work for them. * Kardos nods. Fine by me. I wonder what sorts of jobs they have... * Clarissa stands up, hopping down off her chair. Right, then. Let's go. No reason to waste the morning. Sure. * Kardos nods mutely, having finished his breakfast, and stands to follow. * Lucy finishes food and gets ready to go But Khrosk getting more meat. *frownieface* Take it with you, perhaps. * Khrosk pauses for a moment. "Good idea!" He grips his meat by the bone and gets up with a loud *thunk*. "Ready!" * Kardos nods. * Clarissa grabs her pack from the floor at her feet and heads for the door, and thence the temple of Pelor. * Lucy moseys along * Kardos follows Clarissa, looking around and sidling along amiably. [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.] * Lucy cheers up a bit upon seeing how nice the place looks [It's certainly nice looking! An everburning 'path', lighted every five feet or so up to the main entrance is present.] * Kardos looks over the building. [The building looks back.] (The Gazeebo attacks!) * Clarissa walks straight up to the temple, not distracted by the pretty lights. * Kardos follows after a moment. * Khrosk noisly chomps meat as he follows, finishing the last meat as he chews on the bone. [Stop! Temple Time!] [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.] [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.] [Since there is no session today, you may simply consult them by walking up, or seeking someone in the hospitalization area.] * 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?" * Clarissa waves Kardos ahead. * Kardos nods and proceeds to the older of the two attending clerics, quietly offering, "Greetings, Sunmaster," along with a polite bow. * Clericdude looks away from his companion, looking at Kardos. He bows politely. "Hello adventurer. To what do I owe this visit?" * Clericdude is the older of the two, looking to be in his 40s or 50s but still plenty healthy. 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. * 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." * Kardos nods and bows to each in turn. "Well met, Marke, Leo." I am Kardos. My name is Lucy. * Leo slowly turns around, nodding, wild red hair and beard shaking with the nod. "Well met." * Clarissa waves to the clerics, but doesn't say anything. I Khrosk! ... Ah, yes. * Kardos takes his baldric off, unties the sword, and begins to unsheathe it. How nice to meet you Khrosk. Now, first, how may we help you? 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. * Lucy looks at the sword curiously. "Huh. I didn't realize it was special. How'd you get it?" I'm not sure. * 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." * Kardos nods. "My small arcane training has been able to confirm this much. Beyond this I have been unable to learn much." 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. 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." ...you -could- have asked me, you know. * Clarissa glares up at Kardos. * Kardos nods. "I understand. If you can learn anything of it, you shall have done better than the others who have tried." * 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." * Clarissa snorts. Are you well, Clarissa? I'm afraid I can't help you on that particular sword. It's missing bits. Gems, runes. Lots of stuff. A good library and a couple days should give you the translation of the runes. * Kardos nods. 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. Can you reccomend anyone? 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. * Kardos nods. "Thank you." ...I -am- part of the Arcane Order, you know. * Clarissa rolls her eyes. Yes. I had thought to ask them last night, but declined in deference to your, ah, state of emotion. I could see about putting a good word in with you if you assist us. Oh, you are? Forgive me, usually those who belong to the Arcane Order tend to be older. ( Well, give her time. I'm sure her beard will come in eventually. ) * Clarissa sighs. "Right. You implied earlier that you've got a mission cooking." * 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." * Lucy blinks. * Kardos nods. "I should be happy to return this item back to you." He turns to his traveling companions. "What of you?" I'd be glad to help. This sounds like an interesting story. * Leo looks at the group and back at Marke, then back at the group. He looks unsure. * Clarissa eyes Leo right back. 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. Always good to have more, I think. 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. Regardless, bring our your thief. We will need a description of the artifact, and its last known location. * Kardos nods. Of course these shall be granted. I believe this thief isn't in direct line of sight, my Lady. * Clarissa waves her hand at Marke. "Make it so." * Marke waves his hand back at Clarissa. "These are not the golems you are looking for." I'm not looking for any golems. * Clarissa is now known as SleepDebugger Ah, it was worth a try. Meet me here tomorrow morning, we'll have things ready for you.

Someone have the log from last session? Who's been logging, and where is site for logs? D: There is no site, but I know Robin and ND both generally keep logs of whatever they listen to. I don't log sessions separately. I just have one massive channel log. That doesn't sound too hard to split up Last session was June 29, 1121 ECE ... I just remembered it couldn't BE June 29th. Ah whatever, fuckit. Why not? Because I made months all 28 days long. XD OBJECTION! You just said it was June 29th! hah c.c Okay, so it was July 1 So when's THIS session? RIGHT THE HELL NOW. D:< Nyoro~n :3 [Session's getting underway. Sorry, was talking to people in /msg. ^^'] ( Traitors! Point me to them, I'll hell the whole lot! ) ( -hell +kill ) [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...] [Oh, it's a nice day outside today, a little windy and chilly, but that's pretty normal for a coastal city.] [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.] [Session Start!] * Robin is now known as Kardos * Kardos seems relieved. The wind helps keep the smell down. As long as the crew isn't downwind of the shipping houses, at least. * Lucy walks along cheerfully. * Clarissa wonders if Kardos realizes how much worse it is being about two feet closer to the horse manure. * Clarissa walks into the temple, snorting vigorously to get the smell out of her nose. * Kardos does likewise. He takes a sniff of the air. "Hm. Somene's having a burn wound treated in another room." * Clarissa looks around for that priest, wossname. * Leo is taking care of the alter one last time before he heads off on adventure. [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.] * 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. * 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. * 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. * Hank looks down at Clarissa. "Hi there." He grins. BEARD. * Clarissa eyes Hank suspiciously. Hank is here to help too. Hank? You're the thief? Hello, how was your night? * Clarissa ignores Marke, having focused all her attention on Hank. * Hank grimaces. "Thief is a grievous undermining of what it is I do, but sure." * Clarissa bows. "I am Clarissa Natalia Violet Alyssa Cherise Kaitlyn Huntington the Third, Summoner Errant of the Arcane Order. Pleased to make your acquaintance." * Hank raises an eyebrow. "All that, huh?" He sticks out a hand. "Hank Corrolus. Thief." * 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. * Lucy waves warmly. "I'm Lucy Diamante." * Kardos bows mid-low. "Kardos." * Hank shakes Clarissa's hand gently. "Nice to meet you all." Likewise. 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. * The orcish ranger bellows. "Khrosk here to help too!" Of course, Sunmaster. That's Khrosk, my faithful and very well paid bodyguard. Sure. * Leo nods his head to stand and follow Marke. * Khrosk nods and grins, multiple teeth missing. * Hank waves to Khrosk. "Let's hope the gravy train keeps rolling, eh, Khrosk?" * Khrosk nods, then blinks. "Train?" * Kardos tries to puzzle out what rendered animal fat has to do with anything as he follows the others. * Clarissa walks after Marke, half-running just to keep up. * Clarissa calls back, "It means a caravan, Khrosk! Come on!" Khrosk is certainly...interesting. Quite. * Khrosk lumbers after Clarissa. * Lucy moves along. He's very good at what he does. I think. * Hank grabs a pack from beside the altar and follows along. Khrosk strong! ... Yes, I would hope so if you keep someone of his... talents around. * Kardos wrinkles his nose. "Yes, Khrosk strong." * Kardos doesn't seem to realize that might be insulting as he says it. * 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." Please. As succintly as you can manage. Ah, one who treasures the tastes of knowledge. 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. And before you ask, THEY were the ones who came up with that name. What are they, a band of roving accountants? The penny-penching pulverizers prove poor poets. * Hank rolls his eyes. "Style is dead." I'm really not sure of their origins. * Leo can't help but groan a bit. * Lucy frowns. 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. Do they work over a large area? Where was the artifact stored? We know they are based somewhere in the slums, but this isn't the first time they've taken such a valuable item. It will be the last. 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. It would be benifical for all to get it back. Yeah. * Marke nods. "An artifact like that in thieve's hands makes for a difficult time indeed." Where would be a good place to start? * Kardos nods. Is the container the artifact was held in here, or was it taken, as well? The slums. I don't suspect their hideout would be too difficult to find. They are a rather large gang. The container, a simple backpack, was taken as well. * Hank adjusts his pack on his shoulder and nods. 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. * Kardos nods. "That is unfortunate. I could track it easier, if we had it." 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. * Kardos frowns. Is there anymore information you would like to ask for? * Lucy frowns. "I don't think they'd steal an item like this just to do their regular run-of-the-mill thieving." Or they could just be fools. Let's hope the second is the case. Either way it's bad, just one is less blasphmous then the other. Right. Let's go. Either way, we shall end the problem. * Kardos nods. After you. * Clarissa turns on her heel and heads for the entrance. KHROSK SMASH PUNY THIEVES! * Kardos follows Clarissa with a sigh. * Leo heads out following. "Khrosk, I believe more... subtle methods are needed right now." * Hank follows! * Clarissa turns around and walks backwards, and says back at the others, "Does anybody need any preparations before we go hunt these punks down?" Preparations? Spells and the like? Not me Spells, gear. Shopping. Anything, really. Need to top off your supply of rope, maybe? * 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." * Hank pulls a cloak out of his pack, and tosses it about his shoulders. "I'm ready." 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. Good! * Clarissa smiles brightly, turns back around without breaking stride, and keeps going. I am good, Master Marke. Thank you. * Kardos follows the wee wizardess. * Hank also follows? * Lucy is following already? * Clarissa leaves the temple and heads straight for the slums, staying along the edges of the streets, where the horses don't go. [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?] [Clarissa is smart. It smells less there. ] * 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. [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.] * 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. * Hank looks pretty at home here, oddly enough (or not). * Lucy looks a little out of place, given there's no real way to conceal a two-handed axe. * 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. * 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. Tell you what... why don't you let me ask around a little? * Kardos looks just as out-of-sorts as he has since entering the city. [Finding people isn't too hard, so you might want to describe what kind of people you're looking for.[ ] [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.] * Hank asks around about the P^3s, focusing on "large, up-and-coming bandit group", only dropping the name if he has to. ( We hatses the name, yes we do. ) (We hatses being conspicious.) ( That too. ) ( Things we hateses; the name, being conspicuous, and hobitses. ) (... 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.) ( XD ) :O ( whoops ) * 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. * Leo ruffles the wooden sword kids hair. "You'll do well. We are looking for some people. They and Pelor need to talk. Personally." ( *grin* ) [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.] [And by prissy, I mean he describes the man as 'flamboyantly gay'. ] * Lucy raises an eyebrow. Well, that's interesting. Gives us a place to shoot for. Hopefully none of us are his...type. * The kids blink and nod. "What kind of people?" "I bet they're in trooooouuuuuble." ((Er take that back, I got confuzzled)) * Clarissa frowns. Well, it gives us something to go on. * 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. * 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!" (Err, there are three kids there.) That, or they'll just give in and quietly walk with us. Actually, we are more likely to pummel them about the face and sternum than kick their buttocks. What did they do to you? What do you care? You're gonna wipe the floor with them weather I tell you or not. It doesn't really matter, but I'd like to know anyway. The more reasons we have, the better we will fight. It's amazing what adventures will do extra if they know to look for it. Would one work harder for a bowl or a banquet? * Clarissa eyes Kardos. Really? Well, uh, I don't have anything to give ya. ^^; You really need to work on your proverbs. That was a proverb? I thought it was a riddle. It made no sense, either way. I believe that Kardos here ment minor blessings can be granted to those that ask for them and help others. Riiiiight. My apologies, Clarissa. I am still new to language, so I still have difficulties. * Clarissa turns to the kid. "So. Where's this meeting going to happen?" * OlderKid blinks, then looks at Clarissa. "What's with the old folks?" They think they're talking to kids. * Clarissa rolls her eyes. * 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." * Kardos is 15. Is that old? Look. I'll give you two gold to guide us to where this meeting's going down and then run like hell. * OlderKid nods. "Done deal. " As I said, minor blessings to those that ask and help. * Leo nods back at Kardos. Is gold a blessing? I shall have to remember. * Clarissa looks around at the slums. "Look around you, Kardos, and ask yourself if money is a blessing or not." Throw in a couple more gold and I'll show ya a shortcut inside that they *never* guard. Done. If you could give us on second? I wish to talk to my young companion first. Arright, arright. And the name's Elijah. Nice to meet you Elijah. Clarissa, if you'd come over here for a moment? I'm Clarissa. * Elijah talks to the two younger kids and lets the adults do their talky thing. The kids seeem to be his 'adopted' siblings. * Lucy watches the kids happily. Cute kids. Aww. * Hank folds his arms and watches. * Leo nods and hands clarissa a little bag. We may as well scout out this place now. Of course. Let's go, Elijah. No point waiting. None at all. * Kardos looks to Leo. "We follow?" We follow. * Kardos nods and follows.

N [We join our band of adventurers again as they're going through the slums, guided by the young escort of Elijah. Almost as if on-cue, the skies have darkened a little thanks to some dense cloud cover coming in from the seas, but it doesn't look like rain... yet. This secion of the city, as already described, is run-down and buildings are generally packed closely together, with no sense of fire code or personal space present.] [Unpleasent odors emerge from the sewers as you pass, but Khrosk and Elijah don't seem to mind in the least. You may, on the other hand, have your own reactions. Every so often there's a homeless person or beggar, as well as some thugs just kinda hanging around.] [It's obvious that any sort of unfortunate incident, weather it be a loose fireball, disease, or collapsed building would affect much more than just one person, as the closeness proves. Loud yelling is common, and in the distance you can hear the fighting of rival gangs, although no extortion seems to be outwardly apparent on your trip so far.] [You've been travelling for at least 50 minutes down the twisty roads, backroads, and even across some rooftops as Elijah has taken you through the slums.] * Elijah sniffs carefully and peeks around the corner, motioning for people to stop while he waits a few moments, and them motions again for the group to follow has he walks across the street. "Not much further. The P3s are very touchy about their territory, don't want to get caught 'round here looking the way you look. They'll decend on you like, um... Like a pack of wolves, yeah." [Session start!] * Hank looks rather at home, but tugs the cloak a little tighter as he looks at the sky. He nods. * Kardos actually gawks more in this part of town than in the others previously visited. He has a befuddled expression on his face. * Leo would take time dropping some coin here or there when he saw some one with a begging bowl. He looks hurt by the conditions more then anything else. * Kardos has followed up on Leo's example after inquiring about it. This idea seems to confuse him, as well. * Lucy moves along cautiously, but confidently, taking in the... sights * Clarissa doesn't seem to mind the smell at all, aside from the occasional rub at her nose. * Kardos has been coughing and gagging for a while; after a few minutes, he finally produced a piece of thick cloth that he has tied over his face like a crude mask. * Clarissa eyes Kardos. "What ARE you doing?" Way to look suspicious. ... you might rethink that fashion statement, friend. My apologies. But the panoply of smells here are unbearable. And... I hadn't intended to make a fashion statement. * Clarissa rolls her eyes. Come here, Kardos. And take that thing off, you'll make people nervous. The what of smells? * Khrosk shrugs and lumbers along, looking right at home despite being a ranger. * Kardos takes it off. "It didn't do a good job, in any event. And, 'large collection', Elijah." * Leo shakes his head. "Tr..try to bare it. I know it's hard, but not as hard as...some other things." He pointed looks at the living conditions as he says that. Why don't'cha just say 'reeking shit' then? Because he wants to sound smart. Kardos, come HERE. 'Shit'? * Kardos is there already. * Hank raises an eyebrow. "Were you raised in a temple?" * Clarissa looks up at Kardos, who fairly towers over her. "Down HERE, you." * Kardos leans over. "No. I was raised by... well, myself. Wherever I happened to be at the moment." I was first taught Common two years ago by an Elven mage. * Clarissa pulls a couple leaves out of a pouch at her waist, bruises them thoroughly, then rolls them up and shoves them up Kardos' nostrils. * Hank grins. "You seem to have missed a few of the required colloquialisms. I can help, if you like." Please, let us not dirty this place more. * Kardos blinks. "Remarkable. Thank you, Clarissa." He straightens up. "And I should be obliged, Hank." Clearly, he doesn't know what's what. * Clarissa rubs a bit of the sap mint under her own nose. It's my pleasure, believe me. * Leo shoots Hank a harsh look. "AFTER this is done." Of course. Time and a place, and all that. * Kardos starts wondering how to combine this with lamb. * Hank looks around. "Speaking of, shall we?" * Clarissa shrugs and keeps following Elijah. Ought I draw my weapon? No. VERY no. * Kardos nods. Time and a place, friend. No, we don't draw weapons. Fine by me. * Kardos accepts this wisdom without complaint. Sure, draw it if you want to end up dead in the gutter. * He motions to a pair of humanoids, one half-orc, one half-elf, who look to be itching for a fight. * Lucy walks along, relatively content. * Leo nods just walking along. * Kardos does not make eye-contact with the thugs as he continues after the others. * Elijah leads you around a corner, through a backalley, and almost out of nowhere there's the back of a huge theater in front of you. Apparently the alleyway leads to the straight back of it. The structure is unlike most of the surrounding area, being comprised of primarily stone, with clear wood beams in place to hld various parts up. It appears to be about 20 ft. high and *very* wide at the base. Clearly 100 ft., maybe more. [In its heyday, the theater must have been pretty popular, or they built it trying to attract more attention to thisrather condemned part of the city. The cornerstone states the place was built in 1116 ECE, which everyone knows is about a century ago. In summary, it's a very old structure that seems out of place in this part of town.] * Kardos tilts his head at this and makes a mental note to ask about it later. * Lucy looks over the building, impressed. "I've got to check this place out sometime." * Leo shakes his head. "An old sun that has set long ago." [The sides are dirty and look like they haven't been cleaned in ages. Same with the pillars. The writing on the side has been sullied up so much as to be illegable except for one phrase in old Common: 'Ye not have seen the last of me.'] How sad. I take it this as far as we are guided? Show us the entrance, and we'll take it from there. * Hank looks up at the theater. He squints his eyes. Almost, almost. You wanted a quiet way in, right? I hope ya don't mind gettin' a little dirty. * Kardos shrugs. Lead on. As long as it's only a little. Depends on how many rats decide to greet us in the sewers. Oh, EW. * Lucy frowns. Well, one of you guys probably knows about treating infections at least, right? I can heal, though the tmeple will be better for treating such things. It's not the infections you gotta worry about. Unless you run into one of the were-rats. Then you got a lot to worry 'bout, but those are only stories... I think. Kinda like finding Sea Cats in the sewers." * Clarissa sighs. "Let's just get it over with." Stories from who? Lead on indeed. * Hank shrugs. "It's as real, more or less, as any urban legend. * Lucy walks along Everyone ya talk to. There's a ton of sewers under the city. * Elijah looks around carefully, and knocks on the nearby fences, eventually hearing what he wants to hear and kicks aside some rubble, revealing a small hole underneath the fence that he crawls through. "Through here, the easiest way into the sewers isn't far." * Clarissa takes off her hat and pushes it through, then crawls after it. * Kardos goes immediately after Clarissa. * Hank wraps his cloak a little tighter and climbs through. * Clarissa rolls to her feet, slaps her hat back on, and keeps following. * Kardos does likewise, save he has no hat. * Lucy moves along, bearing it sans grin. [Once everyone is through he runs forward to one of the condemned houses on the right and picks the rotted planks blocking the doorway up and puts them to the side. "In here."] Once in, we come up under the theater? I hope you have some light? And close the door when we get in, don't want anyone finding it. ... Duh. * Leo pulls out his morning star. "We have light." * Kardos nods. * The morning star is shining like a miniture sun, he's holding it as a latern right now* * Lucy watches the weapon and smiles a bit. "That looks pretty awesome." * Kardos tilts his head at this. * Clarissa waves her hand. "Standard basic enchantment, really." Some of the best things in life are standard. Whoo, fancy stuff there. * Kardos follows Elijah in, once he opens the door. It's a little more then the basic on. ((one)) * Hank follows! * Elijah pulls out a stone and says a short phrase in Elvish, the stone gaining light and levitating around his head. It appears to be nothing but a simple magic trinket, though. He knocks his foot on the planks of the house, eventually finding a hollow spot and lifting the canvas over it to reveal a trap door which he lifts up and jumps into, a *splash* being heard when he hits the bottom. Khrosk follows suit. * Khrosk yells when he hits the bottom. "This place smellier than above!" * Lucy grimaces and follows. * Clarissa takes a moment to rub more mint on her nose and then climbs down after. * Leo grunts and follows not looking forward to this. * Hank climbs down. He doesn't look too put out. * Kardos follows in carefully. * Clarissa gets down, takes one unfortunate whiff of the stench, and leaves her lunch to decorate the wall. * Leo looks a little sick as the smell settles around him and adds to it with one powerful heave, he doubles over and keeps dry heaving for a bit. * Elijah looks a little sheepish at the losing of lunch. "Uh, yeah. I did that first time here too. Ya get used to it." After a while. Oooooh, I don't think any god even the insane ones would want this... * Clarissa wipes away tears. Hurry. Let's get out of here. * Kardos looks disgusted, but doesn't seem about to puke. * Clarissa whispers, to avoid taking any more of the deadly air. Right this way. * Leo holds his mace as high as he can moving along. * Elijah starts trudging forward through the filth before getting to the side, where there's some solid footing for the party to get on. * Kardos follows Elijah. * Lucy steps along, wanting to get this over with as soon as possible I have to say, having a guide is a lot more preferable to stumbling about in sewers alone. * Hank pauses. "Not that I'd know, really." [The sewers have little non-filth-covered stuff to speak of, and there's mildew on the walls, but there's little that can be done about that. Coming to a 4-way 90 degree intersection about 25 ft. from where you entered, Elijah heads left. "Sure ya wouldn't."] * Clarissa coughs weakly. * Clarissa whispers hoarsely, "faster, please" * Kardos follows Elijah first. "If something attacks, get behind me." Don't have to tell me twice. * Hank turns left. "There really ARE worse parts of a city. I mean, you're lucky to even have sewers to BE in. * Elijah walks forward and stops suddenly, about 10 ft. from the intersection. "Down we go." There's a ladder there that he starts climbing down. Apparently this particular path *has* been frequented before. "Oooh yeah. You should see some of the slums on the outskirts." Less talk, more move. * Clarissa skids down the ladder as quickly as she can. * Hank slides down the latter. * The ladder's about 10 ft. down, and Elijah trudges forward about 40 ft. before coming to an intersection to the right. "Uh... crap guys. I think they've blocked this entrance off, or something. There's another way there, but... it requires a lot more getting dirty." * Leo gulps following, purposely not taking deep breaths. * Lucy follows. * Lucy doesn't even think about it anymore How much of a blockage? ...how about I just break down the blockade? I was having similar thoughts. After you, young lady. That would be...best. * Kardos is still right behind Elijah, mind. [The path looks to lead to a passageway, but is apparently blocked off by at least 4 feet, floor to ceiling, of wooden planks, rocks, rubble, and other debris. Rats of Normal Size are scurrying around in the rubble, making their rat noises and obviously noting the light. Elijah makes his way behind Kardos. "I don't know. You don't have some like, magic doohickey that could move tons of stuff, right?" Something like that. I have a large sword, a crowbar, and a shovel. The sword is magic. Will that work?ter you, young lady. That would be...best. * Kardos is still right behind Elijah, mind. [The path looks to lead to a passageway, but is apparently blocked off by at least 4 feet, floor to ceiling, of wooden planks, rocks, rubble, and other debris. Rats of Normal Size are scurrying around in the rubble, making their rat noises and obviously noting the light. Elijah makes his way behind Kardos. "I don't know. You don't have some like, magic doohickey that could move tons of stuff, right?" ( ... ) ( Fucking keyboard. >_< ) (x.x) I'm sure we can find a way around it. Through would be simpler. Although the noise may attract unwanted attention. Wait. Structural. * Clarissa sighs. We go the long way. Do we want to destroy it anyway? That's load-bearing junk. Okay. We go the long way. Fuck man. Didn't think it'd be this bad. * Hank nods. "I'll trust your judgement. Which way's the long way?" We shall survive despite it. * Elijah's ears move noticably. Apparently he's not all human. "Uh, guys... remember those rats I mentioned?" Which ones? The wererats? Yeah... Maybe? I know we have Rats of Unusual Size, though... Let's go. We'll get as far as we can before we have to fight. The young lady has wisdom. Yes. * Lucy nods. You go first; Lucy and I will follow between you and them. Oh, hooray. I haven't been in a scrap in a while. YOU can be the one dumped in the muck, then. * Khrosk takes his double-axe and prepares it. "Khrosk see things moving that shouldn't move." * Lucy looks behind briefly. "I just want a fight in a bigger area." * Clarissa shudders. * Khrosk jumps into the water. "Come out and play!" We will fight in a bigger area, if we can... or not. * Err, well... maybe sewege is a better way to describe it. * Now that they've come into view, there are a swarm of rats coming your way. Only five of them are Rats of Unusual Size, though, one of them being almost as large as a human, while the other four are big enough to be bigger than some dogs. They managed to creep up on you, and one bites at Kardos, managing to land a solid bite in his ankle. * Lucy steps forward and brings up her axe, swinging it at the one hurting Kardos!@ [Lucy cleanly knocks two of the rats out cold with one solid swing, easily causing near-fatal wounds to both of the nearby rats. They're both unconcious, one undershit and the other against the wall, bleading heavily. ] * Khrosk stands his ground, ready to intercept any rats that come torwards Clarissa. * Clarissa pricks her finger, the barest tiny prick she can possibly manage and still cast. Drawing a circle as quickly as she can, she calls forth a crusty white imp, hovering in midair. It spews a cone of something white and crystalline at them, but DAMN, those rats are fast. * Kardos inches forward, minding his Kardos Heel, and takes two swipes at one of the rats guaring the apparent leader of the pack; the first is a glancing blow, but the second is telling and splatters the rat across the near wall. [The remaining smaller rat tries to take vengence for those with it and tries to bite at Lucy, but doesn't manage to penetrate her armor with its teeth. ] * Hank drops his leg, rolling around to the side of the last small rat, right through a nice pile of crap. He rolls to his feet and spits the last rat quare through. ... dang! Now the cloak will need cleaning. [The large rat skrees like, well, a big rat, and more rats make themselves apparent while the bigger rat makes a *very* hastey exit after the shit hits the fan... almost literally for him.] I, uh... *takes a deep breath* Maybe you should find a different way in? That rat was bigger than any of the others I normally see down here... And they don't normally attack like that, either. No, we can keep going. Then let's. Okay, okay. Just, uh... yeah. * Hank brushes at his cloak. "Yes. Anytime is good." * The rest of the rats don't seem nearly as agressive as the others, so assuming you don't bother them, they won't bother you. Around this, uh... Okay, this way. * Lucy nods and follows. "You alright?" * Hank follows Elijah. * Elijah leads the group around the corner, further down by a good 20 ft., then stops at an intersection. "Yeah, I'm fine." The directions split in a 'Y' intersection. * Elijah seems to be looking for something, but can't seem to find it. * Clarissa points to a cover. "Is that it?" * Zegon (zegon@c-24-15-245-98.hsd1.il.comcast.net) Quit (Ping timeout) * Zegon (zegon@c-24-15-245-98.hsd1.il.comcast.net) has joined #Aeoth * Elijah blinks and looks back at Clarissa's pointing. "Yeah, that's it. We have to go deeper down then up, through a huge cavern, and I *know* you can get into the theater from there. All of the sewage in this part of the city goes there." * Elijah tries lifting the cover but can't get it up. "Hey, can you guys lift this off? Sometimes they put this thing back on, it's a pain to move though." * Clarissa turns green. Eugh... I'll try. I've got gauntlets. * Lucy gives it a try * Lucy gives it a few experimental pushes to judge its weight and balance, then gives it one solid shove, lifting it. Is that fresh air pouring in? [Why yes, yes it is. And stale air pouring out. Still, it's not THAT much worse than what you're in already, so it's hard to notice. It's pitch black down there, though, not even light from the various entrances to the sewer get down there.] Who wants to go first? [Session End!] * Hank (chamelaeon@ip68-229-190-130.om.om.cox.net) Quit (Quit: ) * Clarissa is now known as NinjaDebugger Session Close: Fri Oct 13 23:14:59 2006 Session Start: Fri Oct 20 18:54:49 2006 Session Ident: #Aeoth * Now talking in #Aeoth * Robin (YU-Mei@host-206-54-194-142.entouch.net) has joined #Aeoth * Zegon (zegon@c-24-15-245-98.hsd1.il.comcast.net) has joined #Aeoth * NinjaDebugger is now known as Clarissa * Hank (chamelaeon@ip68-229-190-130.om.om.cox.net) has joined #Aeoth * Robin is now known as Kardos * Hank (chamelaeon@ip68-229-190-130.om.om.cox.net) Quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) * Hisame (demota@adsl-64-175-38-148.dsl.pltn13.pacbell.net) has joined #Aeoth * Hisame is now known as Lucy * Hank (chamelaeon@ip68-229-190-130.om.om.cox.net) has joined #Aeoth * Zegon rubs his head.

Dammit, one day I'm ready to start like, NOW, and he pulls this. >_< No, we're not. .. eh? Autopilot? Eugh. x.x Yeah * Ardweden is on IRC 'kay guys, what do you want to do about our cleric-gone-AWOL? Autopilot. Hm. Autopilot sounds okay to me. yeah Let us go! I... hate to say it, but I'm so tired and sick, I don't care one way or the other. I'll try and keep it short today then. * Kardos nods. [Down into the dungeo, err, sewers you go for the shittiest adventure ever! Nothing quite like a delve into the sewers to get the blood pumping and your lunch going the wrong way. But you're interested in going the RIGHT way, so you go deeper into the sewers!] [Elijah has just pointed at an entry-way to the next section of your trek, which involves going into tight quarters into, probably some of the deepest plumbing in the sewers. Who knows what kind of things are down there, and really, who *wants* to know? Eeewww.] [Elijah points at the entrance to the next area, which involves going down a narrow steel-rung ladder. "Who wants to go first?" he says.] [Session start!] * Kardos continues boldly on, taking up the front to keep the less tankish people safe! He's gotten fresh mint from Clarissa on the way, and has made a note to start gathering this stuff if he ever sees it in the wild. I will go first. * Lucy moves onward and... well, not upward. Forward. WHich is much the same as onward. So she moves onward and onward. * Kardos descends the ladder! * Elijah backs off. * Clarissa waits for Elijah to go down. * Hank swings down after Kardos. "This probably isn't my most glorious moment, but it's sure not my worst." * Kardos scrambles down quickly and unlimbers his sword again when he reaches the bottom. [The climb down is about 15-20 feet, although it's hard to judge exactly how far. Conditions are cramped at best, as there is only about five feet *max* from side to side. Unlike above, there's no benefit of dry ground, but on the bright side the water is moving at a bit more of a pace so it's not as bad as it could be.] * Elijah calls down to Kardos. "How're things down there?" Tollerable. No dry ground, but the waste is mobile. * Hank drops off the ladder and looks around. He pulls his cloak a little tighter. ...how is that better, again? Gods willing, we will be able to simply use the door when we take our leave of our destination. And it is better because moving waste does not have time to rot. Yes. Ah. * Clarissa notes this and files it away in her brain somewhere. * Clarissa heads down right after Elijah, calling down Khrosk after she gets to the bottom. * Elijah goes down after one other person goes, looking to stay somewhere near the middle of the pack. MMm. Nice and cosy. Yes. I will go first. Lucy, do you have a polearm you can use to attack past me? Just one, but I'm afraid it's not long enough. Sorry. * Hank slips a pair of goggles out of his pack, and slides them on. [The adventurers descend the ladder with their guide, who has a bit of trouble seeing the front, but doesn't seem so eager to move up after the little scuffle earlier. Their order, for reference is Khrosk -> Tyt -> Clarissa -> Elijah -> Hank -> Lucy / Kardos, with Lucy/Kardos being in front.] No good. You and I shall have to share the front rank. * Kardos motions for Lucy to squeeze in with him, and tries a few experimental swings of his sword and telling Lucy what each of them should try to avoid while fighitng in such close quarters. * Lucy nods, and moves closer to Kardos, axe at hand [The passage extends about 15 feet forward, when it splits into a grated drain on the left going even deeper, and a flush of water coming in from the right. Before Lucy makes a few more steps torwards the intersection, Hank notices an odd shine from the crappy floor right where Lucy's about to step.] * Lucy cahnges her mind, and brings out a silver, shimmering maul instead. * Hank blinks. "Whoa, there, Clarissa! Stop!" * Clarissa stops. * Lucy turns around, concerned for Clarissa [Lucy takes that one step, covering that shine from the floor he saw earlier with Lucy's foot.] * Kardos blinks. What's wrong, Hank? * Hank looks back, then forward, then covers his face with his hand. "Wrong person. You might not want to lift your foot, Lucy." Why? Good chance of a trap, that's why. * Hank works his way up to the front next to Lucy, being careful to avoid the spot. Ah. * Lucy frowns. * Kardos nods, and then says "This should be interesting." in a resigned tone. Well, we could use something as a weight so it doesn't think I lifted my foot. I think. * Hank bends down. "Won't be but a moment...." [And Hank moves the foot, expertly putting a weight in its place as he goes to further disarm the trap. After a few moments of careful study, he finds he just disabled... a silver piece.] * Hank picks it up and eyes it. Then he shrugs, flips it, and drops it into his pack. "Ah well. Never hurts to be careful." Whew. I thought it might have been something serious * Elijah takes a deep breath, and laughs a little histerically. "Yeah, good job! I, um, can we get going again?" Definitely. * Lucy moves. * Kardos shrugs. Keep an eye out, still. How about we keep our eyes in? And, y'know, on the path, or something. Um. Yeah. * Kardos keeps on, sword ready. "Isn't there an aphorism about finding silver pieces?" Only not really ON the path Watching it. * Hank quirks an eyebrow. "It's an expression." You know. can we, um, walk less and talk more? Maybe? ...Clarissa, are you unwell? * Hank follows after Lucy, watching the path. "OF course." I'm FINE. * Kardos continues on, keeping an eye out for things that want to kill an adventurer. * Clarissa points dramatically at Elijah and shouts, "YOU! Lead us out of here, IMMEDIATELY!" * Kardos frowns. "Do you mean towards our goal, or back the way we came?" I don't CARE, just GO! * Clarissa balls up her hands into fists and thrusts her arms down at her side. >_< * Lucy moves swiftly ( After Elijah ) * Kardos continues on. "Clarissa, please contain yourself. We will be done momentarily. Elijah, how much further this way?" * Elijah cowers a bit after Clarissa's outburst. "Uh, not much further, I think..." That is well. * Elijah points to the right a good 5 feet down. "I think that's the place to go." Excellent. * Kardos heads along and glances around the corner before heading that way. [The direction you head in is catacombed with pipes and passageways with sewage water generally going against your direction.] d20+15 [And you trapise, going down the sewers. Elijah points to the left as the next direction to go after a little dileberation. "This way guys." ] * Lucy nods. * Hank makes the turn along with everyone else. * Clarissa tries to ignore the horrible surroundings, keeping her eyes open only as much as is necessary to keep up with the person in front of her. She's really not sure who, anymore. * Kardos manages to keep focused on moving forward and not worry about Clarissa freaking out. [A bit ahead, a good 20 feet, you're going along and Elijah points up almost out of nowhere. "Aww crap! Um... Any of you have a ladder or something on you, or rope?"] * CCD (CCD@216-229-75-230-cablemodem-roll.fidnet.com) has joined #Aeoth * CCD is now known as Leo ... do you REALLY need to ask that? * Lucy frowns. Yes. Excellent. I was starting to get a bit worried. * Hank reaches into his pouch and pulls out a grappling hook and a length of silken rope. "Please. Do me the favor of not underestimating me that badly again." [Elijah is pointing up at a rather large gaping hole in the ceiling, going up so high it must be a good 30 feet or so straight up until the ceiling. There are two layers of worn away stonework easily evident, even some carvings. Clearly they had some high-class sewers right here, or it was converted from something else. Regardless, water pours in from the side and a tinkle of light can be seen from above.] [The hole is a good 7 or so feet in diameter.] I see our...Doer-of-Shadowy-Deeds is very prepaired. And how. H-how far up? Does it go out? All the way? Uh... Looks to be close. If we can get up there we won't have to take the longer way through, which is good. And it's very close to the exit. *If* you can get up. This armor's heavy, but I think I can get up there. * Hank spins the grappling hook around, then flings it upwards! If you cannot, I will assist you. I belive I will need assistance or to take mine off as disgusting as that is. * Kardos nods. [Up up up it soars, and it *clinks* onto it. Giving an expiremental pull to see if it's latched, it seems stable and latched against something up there, probably an extra support pillar of some kind. A few expiremental tugs will show that it is indeed stable.] [Err, experimental] I will go up first and ensure that it remains attached. * Lucy smiles. Good luck! * Kardos nods and scrambles up the rope. * Leo kneels down and starts praying a big, obviously unsure about his ability to do this without divine help. * Hank shimmies up the rope, whistling softly. * Clarissa pulls out a knife in an instant and slashes a big gash in her index finger. She whirls her hand in a circle, sketching out a bloody pentagram in the air, then mumbles out a not-quite-audible incantation. * Khrosk climbs easily. "Khrosk good climber!" * Clarissa reaches out and takes hold of the rope as firmly as she can, and a whirlwind sweeps in from nowhere, wrapping her up in its windy folds. She starts climbing as quickly as she can manage, and lifted by the whirlwind, she actually pulls off the climb. * Clarissa stops at the top as the whirlwind catapults her over the edge and up to safety, then gasps out, "out. Where?" * Elijah spits into his hands and starts climbing. * After a setback and falling on his butt, he looks more determined and tries again, making it up the entire way this time. * Kardos helps everyone over the ledge as they come up. * Clarissa blinkblinks at the new area, and apparently doesn't notice that her finger is still dripping blood. Clarissa, your finger. Hellooooooooooo, mister exit. Where are yooooou? * Kardos looks around at the new area. What's it look like, anyway? * Leo takes a deep breath. "Guess I'll head up." He stands puts his shield in his backpack and takes the rope getting ready. [The area is much like the first area you were in. A hole from above ground can be seen every once in a while, but none large enough to go through. Elijah points ahead down a long corridor, further than any of you can see because you don't have 100+ft. darkvision or low-light vision.] [A similar corridor goes the opposite direction after splitting into a T intersection. Sewege is, of course, present, and flowing in the direction you're going in *very* large quantities. Seems you're nearing the final destination of it all.] * Leo tries to climb twice, fails twice hard, wincing as he falls on his ass. "Pelor isn't very good at giving advice on rope climbing." He slowly starts to take his armor off. "Go on Clarissa." * Leo ties the backpack to the bottom of the rope after putting his armor in it and entertains the party by falling into sewage multiple times his white preistly clothes under that armor getting stained. * Leo finally gets up with help from every one else, pulls his armor up, and starts the long process of dressing in it. * Hank coils up the rope, unties the hook, and stores it in his bag, sighing. "That's going to need washed..." What isn't? [The hall is about 15 feet wide, and stone columns are placed every 15 feet in the middle of the hall. Elijah said to go in the direction of flowing sludge, so I take it you're all going that direction as stated in OOC. So...] * Kardos looks around. "Lucy, you are with me in front. Clarissa, do you wish to have Khrosk in front with us, or guarding our rear?" Pelor forgive me... I'm going to spend a day getting clean. Are there rituals for such things? Khrosk... guards me. ME. * Clarissa idly sucks on her index finger, which is still bleeding. Do you need healing, my young lady? * Lucy starts climbing up easily. And no, I don't believe there are rituals for cleaning oneself after fallign on ones ass in a sewer repeatedly. A terrible lack that must be remedied. I've heard they're called "baths". * Clarissa waves absently at Leo. * Kardos says that in a way that makes it hard to know if he's joking or not. Out. Fresh air. OUT. * Lucy joins Kardos in front. "Just watch your wound, CLarissa. After we've been in there for a while, wouldn't want to get infected. Hank, join us in the front. The rest of you, behind us. * Kardos heads in the way Elijah indicated to go. * Hank nods and follows along with Kardos! * Leo shrugs and follows [You go and go and.. damn, that stench is *horrible*. At the end of the hallway, you find...] [Session End!] ... bad end. :( wah ._. Moaaar I'm doing my job right, then. ^^ Tune in next session for moar!

Ah, anyways, they continued down a path in the sewers that proceeded a good 100 ft. or so to exit into...]\ [A giant room, extending further than your sight can see in the darkness. Motion can be detected faintly as well as heard in the, um... basin of refuse, sewage, and all the nastyness.] [Your guide, Elijah, motions for you to be quiet and points along the wall to the left, following a ridge along the basin that follows the contour of the wall and exits to one of many entrances/exits to this immediate area. He whispers: "Whatever you do, stay *quiet*."] [The ridge narrows to 1 ft. at some points, but usually stays a good 3-5 feet wide, and occassionally gets covered by small waves of filth from... whatever is in that basin.] [Session Start!] ...is such a structure common to the undersides theaters? * Leo frowns but tries to stay quiet, doing his best to quiet the armor and his mouth * Clarissa shushes Kardos. * Hank keeps mum, but a ripple of distaste wafts across his face. * Elijah shushes Kardos. * Kardos is quiet. * Clarissa tugs on Khrosk's sleeve and whispers something to him, then he picks her up and heads out across the ledge. [You troop along the edge, staying as quiet as you can and almost reach the end without incident. On one of the narrow edges, though, Leo's foot scrapes the edge as he loses his balance and his foot falls into the muck. A noticable disturbance can be seen in the water, as if something was awoke by this motion.] * Hank stops sliding along silently, and instead silently curses. * Leo tries to pull his foot out of the muck, biting his tounge to keep from cursing this whole place and begging Pelor to burn it to the ground. * Hank braces one foot against the wall, reaches out, and snags Leo by the cloak, pulling him back up onto the ledge. Then he takes a deep, silent breath. * Kardos stops, turns to the water. He begins to pull Leo out, but Hank manages it first, so he just keeps an eye on the water until the cleric is righted. [Waves are getting closer as a formless, multi-tenticled huge blob can be seen at the edge of your vision. If I had sanity checks in this game, now would be a good time to make you roll. Elijah blinks and in a paniced state runs torwards the exit.] Khrosk, run after him! * Leo gulps staying quiet still, not looking at ALL happy about this. Leo! RUN. * Khrosk runs after him. "No telling Khrosk twice!" * Kardos charges after Elijah. He is fast. * Clarissa looks back over Khrosk's shoulder as he runs, then digs her bloody hand into one pouch at her waist. She pulls a small, furry ball from the pouch and throws it back at the monster. [You chase, as a bunch, after Elijah into the hallway as a *huge* creature, smelling and covered in sludge, sewedge, and ofal, meanders by, seemingly looking for something. It has three large tenticles that each end in a 5' or so spiked head, and two gaping, salivating mouths filled with jagged teeth. A solitary fourth stalk, covered in eyes, is doing most of the inspecting work. Other loud thunks can be heard nearby...] [Apparently it's not the only one.] PELOR! If you hear me! Send your loving, cleansing, just fire to embrace this hellish place! [The furry wad quicklyt transforms into a boar which is subsequently and instantly pounced on before it can make a noise. The boar is ripped limb from limb, the blood splattering on the walls as it's grabbed and shoved by three pieces into the creature's two awating mouths.] * Kardos hands Elijah off to the others and stands ready (and very quiet) to fight. * Clarissa watches in awe. Khrosk, run faster, please. * Elijah looks freaked out as all hell and ready to bolt further down the corridor, which goes up to a metal-stepped staircase in much better repair than the rest of the surrounding stonework] ( Oh, can we still move? ) ( I thought we'd hit a dead end. x_x ) * Leo continues to run clanking in his armor, not looking like the brave shining warrior cleric of Pelor he did on the set out. [Do you proceed up the ladder? [Y/N]] * Kardos keeps on keeping on. * Hank runs like hell behind Leo. * Elijah bolts to and up the stairs after the blood and splattering happens.] [Khrosk is close enough that some of the blood hits his lower thighs, but he doesn't seem to care as he (almost merrily) runs along] * Kardos makes sure everyone else is clear before going on himself. [The Otyugh, for those of you who identified it, takes a blind swipe at you, hitting Kardos solid in the back with one giant tenticle just as Khrosk runs past the daring adventurer.] Run run run oh my god oh my god oh my god. * Kardos takes it and likes it because nobody else had to take it, and runs the hell on after everyone else is clear. * Leo frowns as he hears the blow. "Who ever got hit, You need attention when this is done." [Pretty obvious Kardos took it, since he's bleeding.] * Lucy runs, but glances back as Kardos gets hit. SHe continues moving, hoping Kardos can still run * Kardos catches up to the others before saying, through clenched teeth, "In truth, I do." [The creature makes a couple charges against the wall to get more of the meal, but the tentacles simply do not reach that far and the stonework is *very* solid. Apparently it's strong enough (or bearing enough of a load) that it doesn't collapse from such punishment. After about 10-15 minutes of this, it retreats back.] How bad is it? [Clean(er) air can be smelled and felt from above/forward as you climb the stairs.] * Leo frowns looking over Kardos. "Let me patch you up before we go on." * Hank takes a deep sniff. "There we go. Not so bad, was it?" Um, uh... I don't want to go back. I really REALLY don't want to go back. * Kardos bleeds a trail behind him, but doesn't let it cramp what very little style he has. "It's interesting. I have never been cut by something covered in refuse before. And thank you, Sunmaster." I, um, never thought I'd get to see an otyugh up close. Your sentiments are shared, Elijah. They're rather larger than the stories say. That was an unusual specimen, I am certain. Apparently it has been eating well in the city. * Hank looks at Clarissa. "What did you say it was called?" An otyugh. And now I know approximately why. Never saw one of those things before... are they always this aggresive? * Leo mutters and puts his hand on Kardos healing some of those wounds. "Usually they stay away unless hungry." Considering their normal diet, we must look pretty tasty to them. Indeed. Why, I even had a dash of mint to liven my flavor. * Lucy nods. Well, I'm glad we all made it out, at least * Kardos nods. Where are we, now? That's a good question. * Clarissa climbs down from Khrosk's arms. Hopefully inside, or close to it. Underneath the backstage of the theater. Splendid. Excellent. How did that thing even get into here? I... I do hope that these things are known. Yeah, uh, there are at least two basins like that under the city. They all have creatures like that, only they're usually... smaller. And a lot more easy to avoid. Ah.. I'm...throughly disgusted. * Clarissa casts a quick spell and sets about vigorously cleaning herself, piece by piece. Yeah, well, now you know why the rich people never live on top of one of these pit things. Well, we're nearly out. And we can probably take a different route on the way back. Clarissa, could you spare another such spell for our cleric friend, and perhaps for my back? * Hank looks down, and shakes off his cloak. * Elijah shakes his head. "Only way out from here is either exiting the theater by the doors in the place. Or making a door. Could do that, I guess." I'm sure that third option is the best. Are we not attempting to reach the theater anyway? * Clarissa is quite distracted by cleaning herself off, and says slowly, "I think... we should wait... and grab him when he's alone." Khrosk smash skull? Khrosk good at smashing skulls. ^_^ * Hank rubs his chin. "It's a good plan, if we can find somewhere to wait." You're the priest of the trickster, figure something out. I dunno, Khrosk. Spilling his brains isn't quite the same as spilling his answers. I usually have a day or so to investigate. Nevertheless, let's see if we can get backstage alone first. * Kardos nods. * Hank starts walking. "I'll be back shortly, I'm sure." * Kardos nods. Now. There will be no killing until we've got what we came for. We don't want to be running all over the city trying to find where he hid it. * Khrosk looks disappointed. * Leo grunts. "I agree, but I feel like we've done it already." The hardest part hasn't even happened yet. THink he'll be alright on his own? I'm reasonably certain. The trickster doesn't choose priests for their looks, after all. Style, maybe, but not looks. * Lucy nods. Khrosk chose meals on taste. Well, he should have an interesting story to tell us when he gets back. I love a good story. * Khrosk grins toothily * Kardos nods. "A sound policy, Khrosk." I hope Khrosk isn't choosing Hank for his taste. I have no idea what you were just trying to say. He's been gone for a while. How long should we wait before going after him? Khrosk know what Khrosk was saying. * Clarissa pulls a small pack of food out of a pocket inside her cloak and eats, while she has a chance. * Hank opens the door, enters, closes it softly, and waits for a moment. * Clarissa waits patiently. * Hank looks up. "I have a pretty good lay of the land, but no good information on where the cloak might be. Welcome back, Hank. How was your trip? * Kardos nods. Business as usual. Ill-maintained doors and stairs. It's much easier stealing from rich people. * Clarissa nods. * Elijah is sitting on the stairs, eating away at some rations someone donated to him. How's an honest footpad supposed to earn a living? 'struth. * Elijah nods. "Rich peoples never look after their stuff. Don' think they can get robbed." Well, there's spy work. Though I suppose some people think it's too political. So, where's this meeting happening, exactly? * Hank points to his left, your right (you're facing the door). "Couldn't tell you. I know that way's a creaky stairway. Someone came down hauling something, so that may be it." He points the other direction. "A squeaky door and a set of stairs are in that direction. There's a group of people playing a game on the stairs. Both sets of stairs lead up." * Lucy nods. That hauling's probably the best bet, but the squeaky door could be a problem. Anyone got grease? I seem to have mislaid mine. * The door up top opens loudly, and you can hear two voices echo down, one of a teenager and the other of an older thug (20ish). "Now, I told Hank and Bert that I'd take the trash out if I lost the bet, but I didn't say I'd do it wearing a fuckin' dress." "So? You lost your bet on the weather today, and THAT means you're wearing a 'fucking dress' too." "Why when I'm done with this, your ass is grass man!" "Bring it. I could use the challen I've got lamp oil, but I dunno if that'll do * Clarissa shushes. * Lucy is shushed * The stepping proceeds downards torwards you, but there's no actual visibility. *thunk, thunk, thunk* and two steps of footsteps fall. "Hah, you look hilarious. If I just had one of those fancy picture boxes or something." "Oh shut the fuck up." * Kardos sits still, silent, out of sight, and weapon at the ready. * Lucy remains by the side, and as hidden as she can [Around the corner of the stairs come two thugs, one in a very stupid-looking dress, but armed with a rapier. He's younger and is clearly a human youth. The other is half-elven by appearance, and has an Elven Courtblade strapped to his back. For a brief moment they look at the party of assembled adventurers and go... "Holy shit."] [Session End!] oooh. eeelves.

Hank had went ahead to scout out, then returned back only to find a couple of gangstas had started to inadvertently follow him down.] [The two gangstas, one a older half-elf with a courtblade, and the other a younger human with a rapier and a buckler. "Shit, go get help!" says the half-elf as he draws his courtblade.] [Session start!] * Clarissa whispers hoarsely, "Khrosk, stay with me!" * Khrosk looks mildly disappointed that he doesn't get to smash baddies. Kardos, get the elf! * Clarissa runs forward, Khrosk having no trouble whatsoever keeping a step ahead of her the whole way. She skids to a stop, already tracing symbols in the air, and sends words of friendship whisking out to the human. Agreed. C'mere, buddy, I just wanna talk. * Kardos charges after the half-elf, attempting to block his way or knock him down. * The human, having gotten his bearings, realizes he's wearing a slutty pink dress in front of an adventuring party that clearly gets around and isn't ready at all for them. He blushes beet red and starts running up the stairs swearing. * The half-elf blinks at the running. "Uh... I *guess* that works*." * Kardos charges after the fleeing human, calling a remarkable subdued-sounding "Halt". * The half-elf turns to Kardos and runs after him, saying "Oh no you don't!", leaping over him and landing inbetween him and the boy (around the corner). "We can't let you get into the theater without a proper welcome, can we?" * The elf also did a rather nasty wound to Kardos while in flight, although Kardos is still very much standing. * Lucy tries to run, as fast as she can. SHe's suprrisingly fast, for all that armor * Hank looks blank for a moment, and then runs! Khrosk, kill the elf. * Leo runs up clanking in all that plate mail. * Khrosk gleefully charges at the half-elf, running forward in perparation for a mighty swing with his double-axe when the elf catches Khrosk with his off-hand at just the wrong moment, so he lands a few feet from where Kardos is. * Kardos sighs. * The Half-Elf laughs. "Is that all you got?" * Clarissa reopens the cut on her palm, smears blood in a small circle in the air, and says softly, "In my own name, I, summon the blink dogs to my aid." A blink dog rather obligingly appears. * Clarissa calls out in the bright celestial tongue, "The human, further down the hall, away from me! Herd him here!" * The blink dog obediently runs, then vanishes, appearing in front of the human who screams like a girl. * Kardos prepares to strike with the flat of his blade before saying, "I was unaware that our possessions were of import. Now, if you will please desist, it is not too late to prevent further bloodshed." * The human continues cursing and yelling obsceneties at the dog as he runs past, the dog trying to trip him but mistaking part of the dress for his leg and rips part of it off with a bite. Well, I've been itching for a fight, really. How's about this? We do a little sparring match, nothing fancy. You win, I'll help you guys out. Ya lose, you don't bother me no more. I won't even tell the boys you came here if you put up a good match. Ya might want to call off your poochy though. If that thing's runnin' around up there *everyone's* gonna throw a fit. * Kardos blinks. "I suppose?" Would you accept magical preparation on our part, such as healing? I was injured by one of the otyughs down below. * Zegon waves his hand. "Not at all, not at all. Wouldn't be fun if you didn't." (Err...) (The half-elf does that.) (>_<) * Khrosk looks disappointed. He wanted to smash elfy. * The half-elf starts whistling. * Lucy looks over the half-elf, sizing him up. * Hank looks over at Kardos. * Hank shrugs. ...this is decidedly sub-optimal. * Around the corner comes the blink dog with his tail inbetween his legs. Apparently the dog lost the human once they reached the top. * Leo slowly starts casting healing Kardos up. * Kardos rolls his neck when he is finished. "I am prepared, more or less. Shall we move into an open area and begin?" * The half-elf yawns. "So, you ready yet? I figure it's not too long until Justin comes back from his hiding place." * The Half-elf bows and walks down the hall a bit, where there's a 15 foot wide expanse in the hallway on a landing. "I never caught your name. I'm Elmani." "Kardos, adopted of the Willowhip family of Elanthor in Morn. It is an honor to make your acquaintance." * Elijah, being quiet most of the time, goes wide-eyed at the name of the half-elf, ducking behind the rest of the party and staying hidden. Kardos, good luck. * Lucy smiles to him. * Hank walks over, and folds his arms. He grins at the two fighters. * Elmani relaxes his stance and draws his courtblade in an offensive stance. I will do my best to stop short of killing you, Elmani; may I hope that you will do the same? Only if ya put up a good fight. ~_^ Ah. Come on, show me what ya got. * Kardos salutes with his blade - no mean feat, since it's larger than he is - and drops into an offensive stance as well. * Kardos looks critically at Elmani, and his sword bobs, spitting forth a darkish ray at the half-elf. * Kardos inexplicably misses with a ray, which streaks down the hallway and, in a freak display of improbability, kills one of the massive, mutated otyughs from before. (Nix Kardos's killing of one. It does cause it to shrink to a more reasonable size, though.] * Elmani charges forward and, with the flat of his blade, smacks at Kardos's stomach, knocking some of the wind out of him. * Elmani laughs. "Come on, you can do better!" * Kardos oofs. "Let us hope." * Kardos pushes off of Elmani's blade with his own, then brings it around, slashing first at Elmani's bicep and then knocking his sword out of his hands. * Kardos holds his blade forward in one of those elegant elven two-handed sword fencing stances. "Do you concede, friend Elmani?" * Elmani blinks as the sword swings around, landing in the ground blade-first a couple feet away. "Nicely done. Not many so untrained could take my blade away so easily. So, what can I do you for?" * Lucy applauds. * Kardos blinks. "I beg your pa... oh, how may you be of service? We seek a relic stolen recently in transit to the Church of Pelor." Then, a little after the fact, he bows in acknowledgement of the compliment. * Elmani picks up his blade and resheathes it. "A cloak? I don't remember us getting anything of that sor-" At that time, Justin (the human) comes around wearing normal garb, with a buckler and a rapier at his side looking like he's ready to fight something. On his back is a dirty cloak that gives off light despite the dirt covering it. "How long does it take you to CHANGE man? Someone'd think you really *are* a girl." ...and what's wrong with being a girl? * Kardos blinks. I heard magic can fix that. Only the fact tha- ha, hahahahahah! What do you mean magic can fix it? I do not believe I wish to know. I don't mean anything. Meaning is made in your own mind, you know? * The human's still blushing. * Leo blinks staring at the two idiots before him and muttering under his breath. Words are just sequences of noises that sound a certain way. What do I mean, "Magic can fix it?" The answer is inside of you. ... Man, you adventurer types ARE boring. (Err... Wait,you never said cloak. Replace cloak with relic) Anyways, relic? What kind of relic? I don't remember ordering any raids on clurgeymen. They always get their pants in a knot if you ruffle them too much and send folks like you here. Big pain, don't you know. * Hank quirks an eyebrow. I believe your companion knows quite well. * Leo is obviously restraining himself. He's a Cleric in full plate mail covered in sewer muck and is looking -VERY- displeased with the whole day. I don't know nothin' 'bout a raid. I really don't! You know, you really should just give it back. Give what? I didn't take nothin'. Stealing from temples is very sub-optimal. They have way more resources than you. I told you I didn't steal nothin'! ... Not from any church, anyways. It was a church courier. * Leo obviously loses his temper. "ON YOUR BACK LITTLE MAN, WHAT IS IT?" So? I didn't take nothin' from any of those guys at all! Listen, if you give it back, you can walk away from this. How much do you want for it? I'm the best friend you've got right now. * Elmani puts his hands out. "Hey hey hey! Settle down!" He looks at Justin square in the eye, then back to you guys. * Hank looks over at Elmani. "You know, she's right."' Just give'em the cloak if they think it's some holy artifact or somethin'another. * Justin takes the cloak off and throws it at your feet. "But I found it fair and square." He sulks and walks back up the steps. Leo, check the cloak, please? * Leo takes a veeeeeeeery deep breath before picking up the Cloak. "I think we should hear him out too. About how he got this." There, got what you came for? I think so. Still, I'd like to have talked to him. * Kardos nods. I'm always up for a talk. Regardless, resolving conflicts without bloodshed is definitely optimal. You'd better hurry. He's going to start running any second now. Pleasure to meet you, sir. * Clarissa makes a nice bow to Elmani, then scampers off after the boy. Alright. * Lucy moves along. Quickly. You're a good fighter, by the way. * Leo starts to study the cloak. * Elmani calls out to Kardos. "Hey kid, you got potential, but you're not using it. I haven't had an apprentice in a while, would you be interested?" * Hank take a look as the cloak starts to shine. "That's got to be it."] * Kardos blinks. "Certainly." I would enjoy learning under a master who did not loathe me for my birth. * Elijah, if anybody rembers him, seems to have vanished. Looks like this is your lucky day, Kardos. * Kardos shrugs philosophically. [Moving on, we catch up to Clarissa as she's reaching Justin.] * Clarissa calls out, "Hey, wait up!" as she runs after Justin. * Justin stops and looks back at Clarissa. "What?! You took it, aren't you happy?" * Clarissa skids to a stop. "Actually, I wanted to know where you got it, if you didn't steal it." Found it off some dead guys in the gutter. Nobody wanted it 'cuz it was all shiny. * Clarissa frowns. "Where?" Backalleys of the district. You wouldn't want to go there. Don't you tell me where I want to go, mister. I've been in the sewers to get here. The back alleys don't scare me at all. Which is why you look horrible after just spending a little time walking through the sewers. I don't want you to hurt yourself, and they've cleaned up the corpses by now anyways. I look -fine.- Or will, once I get a bath. Or four. Anyways, there's nothin' there anymore. I don't know who the guys were, just stop asking me questions. *he turns to walk away* What kind of idiot would kill two guys and not take the shining cloak? Don't look at me, I didn't kill'em! * Justin marches off in a huff. * Clarissa rolls her eyes. Boys.

With a bit of finesse and a lot of luck, Kardos managed to best Elmani in a swordsmanship match, which after some confusion led to the group ending up with a special cloak that shines with sunlight and a very irritated youth. Elijah is nowhere to be found after your scuffle, which unfortunately means you may have a bit of difficulty getting out of this place quickly.] [Lucy and Hank fell through a plothole and will meet you later. I mean, uh... Lucy and Hank managed to negotiate passage out of the sewers through the theater, using Elmani's influence and a bit of acting. Any more going that route, however, would arouse SERIOUS suspicion.] [It's up to you guys how you want to get out. Session start!] * Kardos could not take the other path anyway, as he cannot act. * Leo is happily just trying to get the cloak properly put away, not really caring about more then that right now* * Kardos is trying to retrace the way they came in by marking a crude map on the floor. * Clarissa stands up and checks the cut on her palm. Right. I'm not going back down there. EVER. So we go up. * Kardos nods. I don't care I got the cloak back. *He has finally finished putting it away.* * Clarissa heads for the door, and the stairs up. * Kardos goes up the stairs, to one side of Clarissa so that he can cover her in cast someone tries to kakk her. * Leo slowly stands and moves even slower up the stairs thanks to his armor. [Up Clarissa goes! There's a heavy wooden door in front of you. Listening through it reveals there isn't anybody on the other side, at least nobody that's making noise. How do you proceed?] * Clarissa opens the damn thing. [The door opens with a creek and a drag as, with some effort, reaches the open position with the door going inwards. Inside there's a hallway that goes left and right, each of them ending in a T-interesection. Noise can be heard from the left, but not from the right. ] * Clarissa heads to the left. * Kardos follows, frowning. [As Clarissa heads to the left, it gets louder as a game of 3 dragon ante is being played among some thugs. They haven't taken notice to the noise you, yourselves, have made walking along, probably chalking it up to more of them just running around.] * Clarissa heads straight to the room and looks for an exit. * Leo frowns at the thugs and shakes his head just following Clarissa. [It's not a room, as the hall curves to the left and starts going up some stairs, which the players are clearly playing on. They see the girl with two adventurers in tow. The group of thugs consist of two men and two women. One of the women and one of the men are halflings, while the other two are easily identifiable as human, all of average stature. The halfling steps in front of Clarissa and notibaly keeps her from pressing on.] Now now little lady. This is a dangerous place for you to be in, I mean, something could happen to you or one of your friends. Good. Tell me how to get out of here, then, and nothing will happen to you. Hey, no need to get hostile, I was just givin' you some free advice for your own... protection. But if it's a clean way out you're after, I might be able to get you out of here. It won't come cheap though. No offense but you guys stick out worse than a nightmare in the middle of some unicorns, if you get my drift. BY THE LOVE OF PELOR GET OUT OF MY WAY OR I WILL DO MY BEST NOT TO SEND YOU TO HIS LOVING EMBRACE, DO YOU UNDERSTAND LITTLE MAN? * Kardos frowns deeper, and wonders if this is accepted ettiquette in this part of the city. * Clarissa stares at Leo like he just expressed his undying love for a vampire. Is this accepted ettiquette in this city? * Clarissa turns back to the halfling. [Some shouting can be heard upstairs as footsteps start stepping up. The halfling looks to his company and nods.] Oh FUCK. No time for chat, hundered gold per head and we'll make sure you make it out of here alive. Half now, half later. Boss won't give us that much if he kills ya, since he's gotta split it with the group. Do we have a deal? Yes. * The halfling guy looks around carefully and, with a quick push into the wall opens a panel leading to a secret hallway. "Everyone in here now and stay quiet. Ezzi and Tiba, make sure they make it out, we'll get the boys settled down. " * Leo looks like a snarling priest that's been through sewers, man eating plants, and had a too many wake up calls for one day. * Clarissa turns and points at Leo. "YOU. Get in there RIGHT NOW and KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT." * Kardos blinks and goes through the door. After getting Leo and Clarissa in there first. [The two women, knowing that the two guys will be easier to convince the shout came from one of them, usher the party members into the compartment, which turns out to be more like a small hallway with a bend at the end.] * Shouting can be heard from upstairs. "Who was that?" "What's going on, did another one of those damn fanatics sneak in again?!" "I'm gonna KILL someone for making me blink!" * Leo of course follows Clarissa right now looking embarrased with the outburst after the man let them go Leo, pay them. * Leo digs the money out nodding, paying for ones mistakes is important. [Guiding you through the dark tunnels, Ezzi and Tiba are rather quiet unless you begin a conversation with them. It's very dark and cramped, however. Well, for Leo and Kardos anyways. Ezzi and Tiba don't seem to have any problems, and Clarissa is small enough so that it's not a problem.] [Continuing down, the yelling and thumping dies down and, eventually after a number of turns they reach a dead end, whereupon Ezzi hits a nondescript location in the ceiling which opens up the way to daylight, forcing you to shield your eyes if you're normal humanish after spending at least 10 minutes in the tunnels. After they take your money, they don't even bid you farewell... ] * Clarissa doesn't care, and doesn't say goodbye, either. [When you're uncerimoniously dumped into a reccess in the wall with a puddle of stagnant water at the bottom, about a half an inch deep. At least it's not sewage.] [Nobody observed your exit, and it's obvious there's no way you'd get back the way you came.] * Clarissa just massages a bit of blood from the cut on her palm, and quickly summons Starlite. We're getting out of here, NOW. * Leo nods silently still looking embarrased. * Kardos nods. * Clarissa mounts up and sets STarlite to a slow walk, so the others can keep up. [You guys head back to either where you're staying, a place to eat, or the temple, depending on your preferences. It is evening, and the sun is starting to go down, but it's pretty obvious to you that you're hungry, or should be getting so soon once you have a nice, LONG, cleaning.] * Clarissa actually escorts Leo straight to that temple to return the cloak. ( and THEN food can be had. Or grab something on a stick, on the way. ) [If you wish food on a stick, there is food on a stick. * Clarissa gets some meat on a stick, then. And veggies on a stick, too. Have to eat your veggies. * Leo turns the cloak over and goes to get a nice LONG shower and to think on what he learned outside these walls. * Kardos bathes and consumes the meat of many sticks. [Several silver and you guys have a meal on sticks. Veggies on sticks, meat on sticks, and even some watersticks, which are very cheap magic trinkets that when chewed on produce water, up to a glass per stick.] ( that is the best thing ever and I am going to buy lots of them. ) ( If they don't expire, anyway. ) (They do expire, but they've got a lifespan of about a week.) ( Damn. ) [It's a bit of a trip through the sectors until you reach the temple, the sun having set before you reached there. The temple seems to have 'closed' before you got there, in a sense. There hasn't been hide nor hair of your other two companions, either.] * Kardos looks around the now-empty temple. ...Leo, wake somebody up, or whatever. You seem to be good at making noise. * Leo sighs and goes to ring the bell to let them know some one is out here. [Uh, there isn't a bell to ring. ^^;] * Kardos eyes Clarissa. ((Sorry propper method then)) [The doors are closed, but the guard at attention recognizes Leo and quickly ushers him in once he gets a whiff of how bad you guys smell.] ( Man, and that's *after* we cleaned up. XD ) * Leo sighs. "It's been a long day." Of course. The rest of your group may stay for the night, Marke would like to hear of your mission in the morning, however. I will tell him everything, it was a learning experiance outside. * Kardos nods. [Off you guys go into the night doing things for the night. Probably cleaning up more, though.] [Session end!] -> *nickserv* identify whatfour * Clarissa is now known as NinjaDebugger * Leo is now known as CCDMainFrame XD Wanna get reward info. :3 Learn 'bout Sword of Plot. And now I go sleep off this pukiness. 'Night, all. ^_^ * Kardos is now known as Robin 'night Sleepies. * Zegon (zegond@c-24-15-245-98.hsd1.il.comcast.net) has left #Aeoth Session Close: Fri Dec 22 22:48:54 2006
