Session Start: Fri Feb 14 00:00:00 2003 Session Ident: #D&D [14:47:39] [When last we left our hearty adventurers, Xivilai, Brody, and Thalan had decided to go somewhere!] [14:47:56] [Now, they must take the first step of their adventure, and plan stuff out] [14:48:02] [Minisession 3: START] [14:48:34] (...Where are we?_ [14:48:40] (Environment Dem?) [14:49:02] ( Where are we? When is it? What do we have to work with? ) [14:49:47] (I think one person asking is enough. ^^) [14:50:05] (Yeah, but three gets the point across. ~_^) [14:52:01] ( Hmm... ) [14:52:16] ( Well, you were just outside the mansion last time. [14:53:11] ( Where do you want to go today? ) [14:53:36] ( Another item is that most people don't go on major, major trips without doing some planning ahead of time. So we'd need to already have a destination in mind and stuff. ) [14:53:50] ( Well, we were gonna try that desert planet. Riches, an' stuff. ) [14:54:08] ( Ah. ) [14:54:19] (Money makes the world go round. And there are lotsa worlds that need to spin. ~_^) [14:54:35] (What desert planet is this? Was it mentioned in something I missed?) [14:54:46] ( Xiv will communicate it to ye guys. :P ) [14:54:56] (Nope. We're not supposed to know.) [14:55:36] [Our heroes are now at the spaceport, while they wait for Xivilai to explain the plan to them.] [14:55:45] (Fair enough.) [14:55:50] [And for the next ship to Outlands Station to arrive] [14:56:30] [Now, for DM purposes... how did you get here? Public Transport or private transport?] [14:56:45] (Dude, I drove.) [14:56:56] ( I prolly bummed a ride off our limo driver. ;P ) [14:57:01] ( Heh. ) [14:57:09] [Alright, you guys get a free ride this time. :P ) [14:57:18] [Minisession 3: START] [14:57:25] (I hope we do. Since we can't get anything, you're not supposed to charge us anything either.) [14:58:17] ( The trip would have cost 3 credits. :P ) [14:58:27] * Brody is now dressed in a decidedly Less Elegent manner. She wears a long trenchcoat, her hair is down, and she's wearing a t-shirt with a band logo and a pair of ripped pants. She leans against a wall, tapping at her Datapad. [14:58:52] (So? That's three credits we still couldn't get until the game starts because of lazy, lazy people.) [14:59:25] (* Fiarre snerks.) [14:59:34] ( If there were more people, there would have been an extra credit per person. ) [15:00:23] * Xivilai sits there, reading something or other. She's dressed in what seems to be expensive clothes that are attempting to look plain and functional. She's also wearing a backpack of some sort and a pair of goggles; other than that, she seems to be without luggage. [15:01:22] * Brody also has a backpack with two side pouches. But her player is forgetful, so it wasn't mentioned the first time about. [15:01:42] ( You got a haversack too, eh? ^_~ ) [15:01:56] * Thalan arrives at the meeting place and checks his data-pad. He's dressed in casual clothes. They look practical, but very far from pricey. He has a black packpack over his back, and he takes a quick look around the area. [15:02:13] (I'll wait a little to show up, if you don't mind) [15:02:18] (Everyone ought to. ^^) [15:03:08] (...Also, it's worth noting that Brody's long coat would be tiny on anyone else. ^^;) [15:04:33] * Thalan 's tail swishes as he takes a whiff of the air. He spots Xivilai and Brody and walks over. [15:06:00] * Xivilai looks up and waves to Thalan. [15:06:34] * Brody doesn't look up from her datapad as she continues writing her report. "Morning." [15:08:34] Hello. [15:08:55] * Thalan looks to Xivilai "What's the job?" [15:09:01] Say, Xivali, just where are we headed? [15:09:13] (Jinx!) [15:10:00] * Xivilai smirks. "We," she says, "Are going on an adventure, or else an archaeological survey. Pick your preference, it're really the same thing in the end." [15:11:58] We're headed for the second planet of the Primogen system, in the Osorus sector. [15:12:46] (What kind of planet are they on at the moment?) [15:12:53] It's a nice desert wasteland, so much so that the sands have tides. But it wasn't always thus; the entire world used to teem with civilizations of all sorts, including Elven and Dwarven. [15:13:11] ( Given the huge number of elves, probably a forest planet. ) [15:14:00] I see. Any life on it now, or is it just a dirt ball> [15:14:04] * Thalan nods as he keys at his datapad. "Our objective?" [15:14:23] (Away for a few minutes-- parent) [15:16:22] Currently, life exists only in the polar regions. This means that there are thousands of acres of wonderful ancient ruins that are either largely or completely untouched by anything but time. [15:16:36] ( And sand. ) [15:17:17] * Thalan nods. "Treasure hunting it is." [15:17:49] Oh. [15:18:18] Well, not my forte, but I suppose it's better than squatting on this treeball until I can get enough money for a shuttle home. And it'll make an interesting story. [15:19:16] (So, if we're going to Primogen II, where are we now?) [15:19:33] ( You're on whatever planet Yu says you're on. ) [15:20:08] ( Yu says you're on Mahavier IV. ) [15:20:20] (Gracias.) [15:20:37] ( De nada. ) [15:21:27] * Thalan types away. "How long are we expected to be there?" [15:24:06] * Xivilai looks thoughtful. "Not sure. I was planning on staying there until we'd found enough goodies to make us moderately wealthy, anyway." [15:24:09] ( ... augh. Looks like my first guess was right. Stupid book, with its hard to find info. ) [15:24:18] ( Primogen system is in NOROS sector, not Osorus. ) [15:24:47] ( Where Xiv said Osorus, mentally replace with Noros. ) [15:25:09] ( c.c; Make up your mind, Dem. ;P ) [15:25:17] ( It's Noros, it's Noros. ) [15:25:31] ( Black Dragon Territory ) [15:26:10] ( Oh, fun. ) [15:26:51] (Hmm. Not sure if I have as much of a reason to be on a civilised planet there...) [15:27:25] ( Why wouldn't you be on a planet in Copper Dragon territory? :P ) [15:27:31] Alright, do we have transportation arranged on the planet or should I bring Kedon? [15:27:35] ( Mahavier IV's in Golion sector. ) [15:28:10] (You just said Blac-- oh, you mean the planet we're going to.) [15:28:26] ( You're in Golion. The party is going to Noros. ) [15:28:50] (You know, it would probably be best if you explained this earlier. ~_^) [15:28:59] ( I thought I did. ) [15:33:25] ( *prods ye ) [15:33:36] No, we don't have transportation yet; we must arrange for it once we get there. [15:34:00] If you want, you can bring Kedon and ride seperate from the rest of us? [15:34:09] (I'll show up after they get things hashed out for transportation) [15:34:29] * Thalan nods and smiles. "Done and done." [15:34:37] ( Kedon can ride in-... ah, yes. Thalan didn't tell them what Kedon is. :P ) [15:38:01] I'm guessing we can't count on accomodations? [15:38:56] Not once we're in the desert, no. [15:40:46] Then I guess we'll have to buy survival gear when we get there. [15:40:46] I hope one of you knows how to do this. I'm much better off in the city. [15:40:51] * Jukor (joshua@adsl-156-58-251.asm.bellsouth.net) has joined #d&d [15:41:33] Oh, I'm sure we'll get by. [15:44:48] We'll be touching down in the city of Praxilius, which is settled enough that it should have any food and supplies we could need. [15:45:25] Alright. [15:45:32] * Thalan keys the information in. "Good." [15:46:37] But after we get done playing Lost, Starving, and Itchy, we ought to go on vacation for a bit. Money's no good if you just hoard it. [15:46:58] * Thalan snickers. "I doubt we [15:47:17] * Thalan snickers. "I doubt we'll be lost or starving. Itching is another thing entirely though." [15:48:12] * Xivilai nods sagely at both comments. "Vacation sounds good. I suppose I can check to see if there are any resort worlds near Primogen..." [15:48:39] (Now seems a good as time as any) [15:49:39] Thanks. [15:49:44] ( To what? ) [15:49:49] Say, what do we know about the local fauna? [15:49:53] (Walk in?) [15:49:58] ( Ah. ) [15:50:02] (Well, are you gonna walk in or not?) [15:50:11] (I am, I am.) [15:50:15] (:P) [15:50:24] (I do need time to *type* and describe myself, ya know.) [15:51:18] Fauna is more or less as you'd expect in a desert, probably. If there are any monsters, they stay in the deserts and people don't see them. [15:52:11] * Brody nods. "So, can we expect any fights?" [15:52:38] * Xivilai shrugs. "Possibly. I consider myself suitably prepared for such a thing." [15:52:46] * Fiarre steps out from behind a corner, the mass of clothing surrounding his figure swishing lightly as he moves. A few odd bulges stick out from under the outmost layer of cloth; for some reason, he's wearing most of his stuff *under* his last layer of clothing. It's a bit difficult to tell exactly what shape he has, and the only part of his face not covered by cloth is covered by a pair of sunglasses. He walks slowly up to the group and simply [15:52:58] ( It cut off at simply. ) [15:53:16] (simply stops, looking at them.) [15:53:42] * Thalan notices Fiarre and quickly turns to face him. [15:54:13] Fair enough. I don't mind a fight, really. Eileen gives me a feeling of power. Like The Creator must feel when He has a gun. [15:54:33] * Brody flicks her eyes towards Fiarre, and continues writing. [15:54:56] You... [15:55:02] * Fiarre clears his throat. [15:55:08] * Thalan eyes Fiarre. [15:55:10] You are you going offplanet? [15:56:14] * Fiarre glances at the three, the movements of his head causing more of the cloth to shuffle. [15:56:45] * Thalan speaks with a harsh tone. "What's it to you?" [15:58:19] I would like to ask if you would be willing to take another along. I... wish to leave this planet for a while. [15:58:29] Ah ha. [15:58:53] No terrible reason, mind you. [15:58:56] * Fiarre looks around. [15:59:11] * Thalan sniffs the air. "Sure there isn't." [16:00:05] There is a limit to what each planet can teach you at a certain time. This planet has nothing more for me to learn right now. [16:00:10] * Fiarre shrugs. [16:00:11] I suppose the reason you need to accompany someone is that you cannot afford the trip yourself? [16:00:56] No, I'm... able to afford it. It would simply be less foolish to find other people to have around. [16:02:34] * Fiarre adjusts some of the cloth over his mouth. "I might be of a bit of help, too." [16:02:41] * Thalan begins to key on his datapad. He keeps an eye on Fiarre, however. [16:02:41] * Xivilai nods. "Ah. In that case, I don't have to come up with something for you to do to pay us back." She almost sounds diappointed. [16:03:27] Well, what can you do, then? [16:03:35] But yes, I suppose you can come along. And we shall see what the next world has to... teach you. [16:04:08] I have some skills with chemicals... as well as a small bit of magical talent. [16:05:10] (Exactly *what* can I do with presidigitation?) [16:05:15] * Xivilai raises an eyebrow. "Magic, hm? Well, that's all good and well, I suppose." [16:05:39] (Presidigitation is Dynamic Sorcerory for dummies. :P) [16:05:42] ( Yes. ) [16:05:55] ( Level 1. ) [16:06:12] ( I got a list somewhere.. one sec. ) [16:06:27] (Dyanmic Sorcerory for Dummies? Nice description.) [16:06:48] (But it cannot supercede the effectiveness of the more specalized level 0 spells.) [16:06:56] [It's a level 0 spell, mostly parlor tricks like coloring items and creating crude, small objects.] [16:08:35] ( Yah, yah, now let's continue. ) [16:08:36] I also have a few weapons; do not think that I simply rely on that small skill. [16:09:02] * Thalan chuckles at the mention of 'magic.' [16:09:07] * Xivilai nods. "Well." [16:09:22] * Fiarre turns his head an looks at Thalan. [16:09:26] * Idlemancer is now known as Animemancer [16:09:51] * Thalan looks up. "You want something?" [16:10:46] * Fiarre keeps his head turned towards Thalan for a moment more, then turns back to look at the group in general. [16:10:46] ( I am imagining Fiarre with a horrible, horrible dubbed anime voice ) [16:11:18] (Just imagine someone trying to speak through layers and layers of clothing) [16:12:09] (Besides, I don't know the spell to make whatever I say appear a few feet below my mouth while I say it. *cough) [16:12:48] ...So, when's our flight out? [16:13:10] ( When you guys are done with the session. :P ) [16:13:27] Very soon, I think. In fact, we should probably head for the terminal now. [16:14:08] * Brody nods, saves, closes her datapad, hefts her haversack, and begins walking to the terminal. [16:14:09] * Thalan nods. "You'll have Kedon taken care of?" [16:14:50] * Xivilai smirks. "Of course!" [16:15:14] * Thalan glares at Fiarre one more time. "Good. Let's go." [16:15:15] * Xivilai stands and heads for the terminal! [16:15:35] * Thalan closes and shuts down his datapad and heads to the terminal. [16:15:51] * Fiarre follows along without saying anything. [16:16:20] (/me resists the urge to play practical jokes on Thalan with Mage Hand) [16:16:42] [The human female at the counter looks over ticket info, and waves you through.] [16:17:27] * Xivilai goes through. To the ship! [16:18:12] * Thalan nods and smiles at the human, his fangs showing. He heads aboard the ship. [16:18:53] * Fiarre appears to be checking something in his clothing as he walks past. [16:19:04] (I... probably need to buy a ticket, don't I?) [16:19:15] ( Prolly, yes. ) [16:19:27] (You don't need to wory about how much it costs though. Remember, it's a mini.) [16:19:46] ( Ehn. Just stick your credchip in a slot somewhere. ) [16:19:57] ( It'll be deducted from the chip. ) [16:20:16] * Fiarre pulls out his credchip and purchases a ticket before following again. [16:21:20] [And so, the Four Light Warriors defeated Garland, and began their journey towards true adventure. But what lies ahead in their path... ?] [16:21:49] ... [16:21:51] ( *cough* ) [16:22:08] * Thalan (Shoots Dem with an anti-matter rifle.) [16:22:17] [MINISESSION END] Session Close: Sat Feb 15 00:00:00 2003
