Start of #Sharn buffer: Wed Oct 17 22:25:56 2007 [20:27:24] Yah! Take this, you demonoid bastard! [20:29:31] * Yonjuuni is now known as Marianysa [20:29:54] * Loharath throws his wakizashi at the monster, but pulls it back at the last second with a silver tether as it comes dangerously close to hitting Sev [20:30:54] [Aurelis fires off a magic missile. Again.] "I am quickly depleeting my arcane batteries!" [20:31:32] [Aurora's Turn] [20:35:14] * Aurora stands still and surveys the combat for an opportunity to do some good... [20:35:45] [Phanos's Turn] [20:37:51] * Phanos holds his hand out, the phantom hand shooting out again to touch the hellhound's tattered hide, the corruption in this touch emanating a black trail as the hand darts to the target [20:42:56] [Mari's Turn] [20:43:13] * Phanos 's spectral hand makes contact with the creature, the imprint leaving a black, spreading stain on the skin beneath its fur, which the plantbo quickly attempts to rend apart. [20:43:15] Oh, dammit Sev... [20:44:05] * Marianysa closes her eyes, raising one of her swords vertically. She slides her finger up the flat of the blade. It begins to glow a soft blue. [20:46:02] [Sev's Turn] [20:46:28] [The blue glow along Mari's blade fades with a barely audible fizzle sound.] [20:46:48] * Marianysa opens her eyes. "...fuck." [20:46:54] "Dammit what? I'm gonna break this thing's skull and make it an ash tray!" [20:47:38] * Kesuke is now known as Sev [20:47:53] * Sev says that rather, as he hefts his maul again, slamming it for the hound's cranium. [20:53:34] [The warhound rears up as much as it can in the confined hallway and takes the maul on its chainmail barding. Then it comes down with a firery bite to Sev's shoulder.] [20:54:03] [Loharath] [20:54:16] * Sev is torn at the shoulder, a mess of blood running down his arm. [20:54:39] "G-ghh.. If I wanted a kiss I woulda stayed with Lei, pal.." [20:54:46] [His would instantly cauterizes] [20:55:30] * Loharath dashes in, and thrusts his katana at the hellbeast. "Cleave and smite, you horror! Taste the flame's heat!" [20:56:46] * Loharath 's sword flickers back into reality past the hound, and he pulls it back through the rift without having struck the creature. [20:57:13] [Loharath leaves a gouge in the already battered wall.] [20:57:57] * Aurora steps in and starts casting a spell to heal Sev's wounds [20:57:57] * NovaSeaker changes topic to 'Init Order: Phanos, Mari, Sev, Warhound, Loharath, Aurora, Aurelis' [21:00:15] [Aurelis casts Magic Missile one last time.] "I am spent." [21:01:30] [Phanos's Turn] [21:01:34] * Phanos 's hand, as it retreats, touches sev, glowing green. Plantbo decides to attack the monster again. [21:03:57] [There is a meaty thunk from behind the Warhound.] [21:04:03] [Mari's Turn] [21:04:07] * Marianysa bounces on her heels, watching Sev and the hound anxiously. [21:04:47] [Sev's Turn] [21:04:54] * Sev attacks with his maul. [21:07:35] * Sev hits the ground, bleeding to death. [21:07:37] [The Warhound shakes its head, shrugging off the hit to it's snout and worries is burning teeth into Sev's torso again.] [21:08:50] [Loharath's Turn] [21:10:06] * Loharath steps over Sev's body and begins screaming in a low rumble as the crystal third eye on his forehead snaps open, revealing a silver iris. His yell reaches a crescendo as he plunges his katana towards the head of the hellhound [21:12:28] "Hey mon, you not bleedy to def! Git up, I touch you wif me magik han again!" [21:16:00] [Loharath's burning, curved blade slices up into the underside of it's jaw, through it's mouth and out one of it's eyes. The silver fire of the blade BURSTS into an inferno, lighting up the dog from the inside, bursting out of its eyes and ears. It roars with a death-howl and tries to breath it's unholy flame, but the light and purity of the silver fire quenches it before it escapes the dog's monstrous throat.] [21:18:12] * Marianysa stares. "That was..." [21:18:35] * Aurora watches. She looks pleased. [21:18:40] [When Loharath extracts his blade, the thing slumps, still stuck in the hallway's confined space.] [21:18:46] Wonderful! [21:19:04] Who are you? [21:19:27] * Marianysa grins. "THAT. WAS. SO COOL." [21:19:33] "Dat Leroy." [21:19:37] The zombie groans. [21:19:51] * Loharath puts his boot on the hellhound's skull and pushes against it as he pulls his sword free. The silver flame on his blades fades, and he sheathes the shorter sword. "I'm Loharath, brother in arms of the Silver Flame." [21:19:59] * Marianysa sheathes her swords. [21:20:09] The zombie then crawls into a black hole in the ground and dissapears. [21:20:23] * Phanos walks over to Sev, patting his back with a green hand. "You okay mon." [21:20:30] (Use []s for narration, Phanos. Or have you turned into Aurelis?) [21:20:30] "I'm alive." [21:20:54] I fight for the good of true men, in Adara and Sharn, and places not even seen by mortal men! It's in the interests of the bonds of brotherhood, and the binding shackles of men's hearts that I hunt the spawn of the hellish planes! [21:21:22] ((I'm accostomed to using quotation marks for quotes and nothing for actions)) [21:21:47] "So how you know run through DAT window an helps us?" [21:21:48] Adar, rather! Sometimes my zeal gets the best of me. But I'm a man of action, not geography and place names! [21:21:49] ((Well we teased the fuck out of Lee for not doing it our way, so be warned.) [21:22:45] I am Aurora Lumines, Priestess of the Silver Flame. It's good to finally meet another Purified. Now, where did you see these things come from? [21:23:23] Sadly, no. I wasn't even aware that it was here until I entered! [21:23:42] "So dat dont explain why you entered." [21:23:58] * Marianysa blinks. "What, you just go jumping through random windows then?" [21:24:02] That's not important. Pay no mind! [21:24:12] But... [21:24:16] "I payin' mo than min'." [21:24:44] "You gon' hav to pay mo than min' too an' fix up that hard-air." [21:25:22] ... well, it's good to see you here. We're trying to find a Rakshasa. And one of our allies decided that her skills would be better suited outside of combat, and it's hard to disagree. So any help is appreciated. [21:25:47] And it wasn't a random window. I was sent by fair Miashta, belle of Overlook. [21:26:41] "You okay follerin' aroun' a Necromonga mon? Cause I ain't gon' change fo you." [21:27:14] Death is no barrier to the bonds of men! [21:28:00] Miashta? Aun's friend? [21:28:03] * Marianysa folds her arms. "So Miashta asked you to jump through my window then?" [21:28:07] And more importantly than being sent on the behalf of Miashta's friend, I had heard the sounds of struggle, and needed to join! It just happened that the window was the fastest way in. [21:28:34] "You gon' stop yellerin' now? We'z can all ears ja mon." [21:28:56] Miashta's a lot of people's friend. She has spent time with that changeling recently, though. [21:29:04] Yelling is how I express my bold spirit! [21:29:39] "Yelling is how you let the watch know come 'ere." [21:29:58] [Aurelis mutters.] "And I'm the crazy one..." [21:30:52] Well, you DID kill that demon...which was awesome...so I guess I can forgive you for the window. [21:31:35] * Marianysa sighs. "My house is pretty much trashed anyway." She brightens, and sticks out her hand to Loharath. "Marianysa Leyonard." [21:32:22] "I not. He lucky I getcha foot-boots, else I be wearin' me fancy clothes, an fancy I don't weah no shoes, and breaky-air get in de feets. Dat NOT be good." [21:32:40] Aurelis, you have any spells to try to... I dunno, fix or clean stuff up? [21:33:10] * Aurora spares another glance at Loharath [21:33:38] "Ah. So when I run out of spells useful for smiting down our enemies with arcane death I am reduced to a *maid*." [21:33:42] "Swell." [21:33:56] * Loharath grins and shakes Mari's hand. "A pleasure to meet you! Anyone who binds Rakshasa is man enough for me." [21:34:15] * Aurora extends her hand to Loharath. Quickly. [21:35:43] * Marianysa laughs. "You've got a funny definition of man, but okay." [21:35:45] "We just get swung at by a chain-demon who we tink is de boatman, ya? Dat boatman kill my zombos, but he not break no air. Dis one, he break air an everyone trus him already?" [21:36:00] * Loharath graps Aurora's hand with his other hand. "Another purified! But time enough for introductions. Let's dispose of this corpse." [21:36:13] * Phanos holds up a hand. [21:36:16] "NO need!" [21:36:26] No need? [21:36:33] "I's gonna use de corpse. I take it home wif me." [21:36:54] * Sev moves to a seat, sits down and drinks three potions. [21:37:14] * Marianysa shrinks away from Phanos slightly. "Well, that guy did pretty obviously want to kill us." [21:37:41] For what? [21:37:48] "It not wanna kill us when it got de plant hart." [21:38:04] ... ah! Yeah, I geuss that'd be useful... [21:38:13] * Marianysa blinks. "Hey, there's a good idea." [21:38:19] "Plant de plant hart in it, make it smokes de grass, it be red eyed but nice-nice." [21:38:32] Maybe you could ride around on it [21:39:05] "Maybe. Maybe a bit too haad to bring back jus now, ya? But I keep it stored." [21:39:56] * Aurora nods... [21:40:00] Well, good luck. [21:40:02] I hope you've got room to store something this hugeass. [21:40:58] "I owns a shop." [21:41:12] It looks heavy. [21:42:01] * Aurora looks back at Loharath. "So how do you know Miashta?" [21:42:13] * Phanos walks up to the corpse, pulling a glowing banana out of his coat pocket, shoving it down the dead hellhound's throat. [21:43:44] * Marianysa eyes Phanos. She looks like she wants to comment on the banana, but closes her mouth and shrugs, before turning back to the conversation. [21:43:51] "You wan' help me carry it?" [21:44:11] She and I have made time in the past, and she had try to enlighten her sister a while back. We're not particularly close, but she's quite the lady! [21:44:58] * Aurora looks a little uncomfortable. "I see..." [21:46:07] * Marianysa looks at Loharath, then looks at Aurora, then back to Loharath, a little surprised. "Huh." [21:46:51] * Phanos moves over to Sev, taking a seat. He pulls out a brown-wrapped cigar-looking monstrosity. He hands it to him. "Dis make-a you good." [21:47:51] "I don't smoke." [21:48:43] * Phanos looks at him like he's crazy. "You no smoke? It makes-a-you tink an dream! No wondah you so grouch mon." [21:49:27] * Sev shrugs. [21:50:11] * Phanos rises, moving into the kitchen, lighting his cigar on the stove, smoking it calmly as he reseats himself next to Sev. "I make you some cake den." [21:51:40] So where do you stay? [21:52:40] "In my shop." [21:52:49] I stay where the true bonds of men are met and tested, and I remain where there's evil to be bound to the flame! [21:53:01] * Phanos cracks up. [21:53:04] I also have an apartment in Overlook, but it's mostly just where I keep my extra pants. [21:54:20] * Marianysa sniffs the air. "Phanos, not in..." She stops. "Nevermind. It can't smell any worse in here than it already does." [21:54:45] * Aurora nods... [21:55:01] [Dead hellfire-breathing dogs slowly decay.] [21:55:33] ... eugh. We need to get rid of those bodies too [21:55:33] ((As long as I got the big one.)) [21:55:34] Somehow [21:55:38] * Phanos offers to pass it to Mari. [21:57:22] * Marianysa shakes her head, making a face. "No thanks. I think I could stand to get drunk, though." [21:57:47] The Rakshasa's supposed to be somewhere in Khyber's Gate... [21:57:50] "dats fine. We look fo Rakshasha tomorrow den?" [21:57:58] I don't suppose you've heard anything weird in that area/ [21:57:59] "Hehe, rock-sha-shar!" [21:58:16] "Rock-star-show!" [21:58:20] ((Rakshasa)) [21:58:36] "Rock-smasha!" [21:59:11] ( typo ) [22:00:08] * Phanos looks to Sev. "Elp me carry dis home?" [22:00:21] "I gave em de banana, e not bleed on you." [22:00:29] Because the rest of us haven't heard anything [22:02:40] If not... I guess we need to try to figure out some kind of lead [22:03:40] All I know about Khyber's gate is that it's an underground den of monsters and criminal filth, leeching off of the good men of this city! [22:04:14] * Loharath clenches his hands into fists, regardless of wether anyone's actually stopped shaking hands at this point [22:05:35] "All me know is dat I can throw down some ganj der, see if any man talks." [22:05:39] "Sure, why not." [22:06:02] Some what? [22:06:11] * Marianysa looks over at the remains of the hounds. "Well, maybe we can get SOMETHING out of this." She wanders over to the big one, looking for any tracks it might have made. [22:06:37] * Phanos wanders over to the big one as well, grabbing the front end. [22:06:59] * Sev helps Phanos carry the corpse. [22:08:10] "Ganjy grass." [22:08:40] * Phanos puts his out, waving off the smoke, the smell blending into his skin, since Phanos alreasy smells like a year's worth of exotic herbs and wild animal pheremones. [22:09:24] [Mari is unable to find any trail, save that of destruction through her shop and apartment.] [22:09:50] * Marianysa shakes her head. "What am I even doing, they're big dumb monsters, not intelligent attackers." she mutters. [22:10:33] Woudln't they just run in a straight line or close to it to get here? [22:11:43] * Marianysa shrugs. "I don't know a lot about fiends, for all I know they teleported." [22:11:50] I guess... [22:11:58] * Aurora looks at the trail, wondering what Mari was trying to see [22:13:52] * Marianysa examines the biggest dog. "Got to be SOMETHING that'll tell us where they came from." [22:16:03] * Phanos walks out with the dog and Sev. "Its mines." [22:16:26] Stupid dogs. [22:17:11] * Sev continues carrying the corpse. [22:17:45] [The group parts ways and prepares to draw up plans on what to do with the information they've found today.] [22:17:48] [Session End.] [22:24:44] * Sev (~crazysapi@ip24-252-34-39.om.om.cox.net) Quit (Quit: I was there, man. I was in the shit with the grunts.) [22:25:35] * Loharath (~CharlesHB@c-71-233-188-2.hsd1.ma.comcast.net) has left #Sharn [22:25:44] * Marianysa is now known as Yonjuuni [22:25:49] * Yonjuuni (~dlarmour@wnpgmb02dc1-21-178.dynamic.mts.net) has left #sharn End of #Sharn buffer Wed Oct 17 22:25:56 2007
