Start of #Sharn buffer: Wed Apr 09 20:41:30 2008 [18:28:35] [The party has arrived at the City Archives in upper central, a large windowless building at the top of Vasha Tower. They were told to wait a day for the upgrades to their equipment to be finishes, as well as gathering the requested items, and to come here to pick them up.] [18:28:39] [Session Start] [18:28:56] (*finished) [18:30:05] * Aurora arrives, looking worn out [18:31:55] * Marianysa waves. "S'wrong, Aura?" [18:32:51] I broke the news to Faela. And Lei. It was exhausting. [18:33:01] "Could notta been fun." [18:33:26] * Marianysa looks down. "...oh." [18:33:34] * Loharath is leaning against a wall. "Sorry you had to do it. That couldn't have gone well." [18:37:09] It didn't... Lei said I should have protected him. [18:38:49] "How was you gonna?" [18:39:10] I don't know. [18:39:42] "You couldnta done no ting. I jump aftah Sev, he still gona." [18:40:38] Not sure when we'll hold the funeral... it'll be hard to find his remains. I don't know if he ever converted to the Flame. He spent a lot of time with us. I'd like to think he did... [18:41:10] "Don't matta de god, wat mattah be de sendoff." [18:41:21] "And we rememberin im." [18:41:34] Sev...Sev was Sev. There's nothing we could've done to stop him from doing what he thought was right. [18:41:41] * Marianysa nods emphatically at Phanos. [18:42:01] "Even if it be jumpin on de roofas when he dont need ta." [18:43:01] I'm not sure how much you know about our faith, but we meet different fates after death... I'd say it would matter a great deal to him. Though there's no use thinking over it now. [18:45:01] * Phanos shrug. "He do any god proud, ya." [18:47:05] "Except Chronspsis. He too loud." [18:48:52] I guess we should step inside and get what we came here for... [18:49:54] [Inside is the same bored receptionist they met yesterday and weeks before when they first met Agent K after finding out the truth of the Crystal Fall.] [18:51:18] * Phanos nods, walking in, having retrieved his dogs before they came, them flanking him as usual. [18:52:40] [Without looking up from a book she's reading, the receptionist drawls out "welcome to the city archive do you have an appointment" in montone.] [18:52:52] You'd think Mauz wouldn't have wanted to miss this. [18:53:10] (You'd think!) [18:55:42] Yeah. [18:56:34] [She looks up, a suprised look on her face, as if not expecting that answer.] "Oh. Oh right, you guys." [18:57:05] "You're stuffs right behind the desk." [She motions with her head to the floor beside her.] [18:58:13] * Phanos moves to the floor. [18:58:33] * Marianysa blinks. "Well. Simple as that." [18:58:46] Thanks. [18:58:53] [Phanos moves around the receptionist desk to find a few unmarked boxes.] [18:59:20] * Marianysa follows Phanos to the boxes. [18:59:34] [One is rather large and heavy, probably Aurora's armor.] [19:01:12] "Which one mines?" [19:01:38] [The receptionist shrugs.] [19:01:51] "I don't even know what's inside them, and I'd like to keep it that way, thanks." [19:02:01] * Phanos looks for his stuff. [19:02:25] * Marianysa looks for a box that might contain her sword. [19:02:55] * Aurora opens up the box [19:03:17] [The receptionist stops Aurora before she can.] "I'd *like to keep it that way*. *thanks*." [19:03:28] Oh. Alright. [19:03:35] * Aurora works on picking it up and getting it moved [19:05:50] * Marianysa takes her box when she finds it, so as not to make the receptionist any bitchier. [19:07:08] [The group makes it out of the city archives with their boxes. They aren't especially heavy, containing what they'd be able to carry with them to more dangerous parts of the city.] [19:09:34] [Mari's off-hand weapon looks better than new.] [19:10:00] * Phanos pulls out his cane. "You gon like what dey did me cane." [19:10:41] * Marianysa grins and gives it a few practice swings. "This feels great." [19:11:20] * Phanos loads up hiz Zombodogs with the rest of his gear [19:12:36] "Where we go now?" [19:13:09] Let's go to Mari's [19:14:00] * Marianysa nods. "Fine by me. We need to figure out our next move anyway." [19:15:52] [The group heads to Mari's place. Halfway there, Loharath bolts, saying he'd meet up with you guys later.] [19:17:21] * Aurora starts opening up her box. This isn't as hot as it sounds. [19:18:22] [Aurora finds the items she requested, plus a small jewel on a chain, with a note attached to it.] [19:18:36] * Aurora pulls out a ring. She puts it on. Then she takes out a couple of potions. She puts these in a safe spot on her person. Then she pulls out some sort of amulet [19:18:46] What's this? [19:19:10] [The note reads "Perhaps this will teach you some responsibility. Use it wisely."] [19:19:40] * Phanos pulls out a fine mithral chain shirt, emoving his own shirt, which isn't all too new, and putting it on beneath it. [19:24:01] * Aurora puts on the amulet, letting it hang next to her holy symbol. [19:24:42] [Aurora suddenly gains a small but noticable influx of common sense, personal responsibility, and wisdom.] [19:24:46] "Whats yo stuffas do?" [19:26:49] I'm... not sure, exactly. My thinking is a bit clearer, a bit calmer... I think I like it. [19:27:04] * Aurora takes it off. Then puts it back on. Just to feel the rush again. [19:29:43] [After doing it the first, time, Aurora realizes that taking it off is a bad idea.] [19:32:15] I don't think i'll do that again. I'm not sure I ever want to take this off. [19:44:06] "Well, when we go?" [19:45:09] As soon as possible, I hope... [19:45:52] We're going back into Daask territory here. They don't like us. [19:46:00] We need to go unnoticed. [19:46:05] * Marianysa shrugs. "Hard to plan when we're missing people." [19:46:33] "Wat kinda spells you want I ask em fo?" [19:49:08] Well, we can get something put together, at least. If only Aun were here... ugh. Let me think. [19:54:27] * Phanos pets his dogs, letting Aurora in on the mission. [19:55:24] * Phanos never really swore an oath, and trusts Aurora more than he does some suit, so he tells her why as well, but makes her promise not to let them know he told her. [19:56:57] * Aurora covers her ears. [19:56:58] * Marianysa shrugs. "It's not like they really want us to do anything we weren't going to do anyway." [19:57:06] Sorry Phanos, can't tell me. [19:57:11] "why not?" [19:57:14] One of the magic items might be surveillance. [19:57:27] "I ain't Brelish, can't be tried, gal." [19:57:38] "Jus deported, an thas IF they find me." [19:57:46] Yeah, but we don't want you to be deported. [19:58:01] Being alone isn't safe. [19:58:10] Aurelis got attacked when he was out by himself. [19:58:15] "I rathah be an illegal immigrant than keep infomation from a frien." [19:59:32] You aren't hiding it. I'm refusing it. [19:59:55] "We gon go down an kill de starry chest man." [20:03:11] * Marianysa shrugs. "Aura, if you don't want to know, that's fine." [20:03:16] That thing's still alive? [20:03:57] ... well, I guess we never saw it die. [20:07:12] It hit Aurelis and then we all blanked out [20:07:25] If that thing's still around, we need to take it down. [20:08:00] I don't think Aurelis could have survived this long, but even if we can't rescue him, we can avenge him. [20:09:42] * Marianysa 's face darkens. "We can and we will." [20:11:00] Right. But we need to get back into there first. [20:15:36] As much as I'd like to speed straight into the place and go undetected, we need to spend time hanging around trying to find a new entrance. [20:17:24] Or we can try making a new entrance of our own. [20:18:00] * Marianysa nods. "They might be getting in and out with...resources we don't have. So if it comes to it, we make a way." [20:19:28] Like an explosion, or a drill? [20:23:07] I'm not sure how teleports work, but that might be expensive, and it might be hard to make an emergency escape, too. [20:23:16] * Aurora tries thinking of more ideas. [20:23:34] Through the roof, maybe... but that'd also be hard to escape with [20:23:42] Well, we won't know what our options are until we investigate. [20:23:49] * Aurora nods. [20:23:54] Mari, you have any thoughts on this? [20:24:10] Getting there, entry, making sure we're not noticed... [20:24:47] "I can tink of some spells might help." [20:32:55] Like what? [20:33:46] "Gon take me time to tink o dem" [20:34:33] * Aurora nods [20:34:53] [The group prepares to plan.] [20:34:58] [Session End.] End of #Sharn buffer Wed Apr 09 20:41:30 2008
