Start of #Odal buffer: Thu Jun 26 20:43:56 2008 [17:13:45] * Eve_Kasnora (Novaseaker@cpe-24-168-45-216.si.res.rr.com) has joined #Odal [17:22:25] * Xan (rustangel@ip-214-151.atvci.net) has joined #Odal [17:24:05] * Paera (a@wnpgmb0803w-ad01-65-95.dynamic.mts.net) has joined #Odal [17:27:04] * Having killed the last of the group of kobold bandits, and having met Eve, the party continues on its way to Horbek's Glory on their rickety cart with their old horses. They've been riding for a few hours, when the sun has begun to set. [17:29:10] * Eve_Kasnora looks to the horizon. "Hm. Perhaps we should set up camp. It's dangerous in these swamps at night." [17:29:47] "I agree. The horses tire if they do not rest." [17:33:12] * As you ride, you round a bend and come within sight of the checkpoint. There's a viable campsite nearby if you want to spend the night outside, or rest before braving what might be inside. [17:33:25] [Session start] [17:34:30] Oh, perfect. I was worried that the kobolds would have delayed us too much to reach here by nightfall. [17:34:52] Only one ambush? [17:35:04] They must be busy. [17:35:27] * There are torches lit outside the waystation, but it's too far to see movement at this point. [17:35:31] "You managed to fend off the ambush completely. No kobolds escaped to warn the others." [17:36:59] "Hold the horses. I will go on ahead and make sure everything is on the level." [17:37:07] * Eve_Kasnora hops down from the cart. [17:37:31] * Paera (a@wnpgmb0803w-ad01-65-95.dynamic.mts.net) Quit (Ping timeout: 180 seconds#) [17:39:18] * Eilenia looks around. [17:40:40] * Eve_Kasnora approaches the waystation, hands on her sheathed weapons. Her scale-reinforced coat clicks and clacks lightly as she approaches. [17:44:03] * Xan approaches as well. [17:44:17] * Eilenia steps along carefully [17:48:48] * As you approach the waypost, you see no activity inside. The railing along the second floor, which was once a gallery, has been reenforced by wood. In the back is a strange pile of metal objects. You see no movement as you approach. [17:50:14] * Paera (a@wnpgmb0810w-ad08-123-210.dynamic.mts.net) has joined #Odal [17:50:44] * Xan keeps distance from the strange pile, but examines it nonetheless. [17:50:53] * Eve_Kasnora looks back at the wagon. She pointedly draws her weapons and motions the others to approach cautiously. [17:51:41] * As far as you can tell from this distance, it seems to be deliberately shaped metal objects you can't work out the use of. [17:55:01] * Xan moves up just a bit, cautiously ascending the left stair. [17:55:38] * Paera gets out of the cart. "If this is an ambush, we shouldn't be too far away." [17:55:42] * Eve_Kasnora moves underneath the second floor. [17:56:16] * As Paera speaks, a sling bullet goes wide from Xan and clatters to the wall behind him. [17:56:19] [Init] [18:01:29] * Charles changes topic to '[Eilenia] 22 [Dragonshield 2] 17 [Dragonshield 1] 13 [Xan] 10 [Slinger 2] 7[Minion 1, Slinger 1] 6 [Minion 2] 5 [Paera] 4 [Eve] 3#' [18:01:38] [Eilenia's Turn] [18:06:32] * Eilenia moves up to Eve for protection just in case [18:08:56] * A pair of kobolds wearing scalemail and carrying swords and heavy shields step out from behind the arched area's barrier, flanking out from either side. One heads down the southeastern stairs as the other dashes towards Xan [18:10:35] * He stabs Xan, and then raises his shield to ward off the blows he'd receive in return [18:10:48] [Xan's turn] [18:15:51] * Xan looks to the kobold who stabbed him. "My turn." he declares calmly. He swings his heavy fist downwards for the kobold's skull, bladed arm slicing downward as well, like the broken fangs of some great beast. [18:16:57] * Divine_Arrow (CHBoucher@dsl2-161.gsinet.net) has joined #Odal [18:17:58] * Divine_Arrow (CHBoucher@dsl2-161.gsinet.net) Quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer#) [18:18:01] * WHARRRGARBL (CHBoucher@dsl2-161.gsinet.net) has joined #Odal [18:18:13] * Charles (CHBoucher@dsl2-161.gsinet.net) Quit (Killed (NickServ (GHOST command used by WHARRRGARBL))#) [18:18:18] * WHARRRGARBL is now known as Charles [18:18:27] * Xan touches nothing but air on his attack, grunting at the dodgy kobold. [18:21:49] * Xan swings both fists back upwards, adrenaline, or whatever the gith equivalent is, fueling him on. [18:24:08] * As the dragonshield reels from Xan's blow, a slinger on the balcony area pops up to launch a bullet at Eve, and a pair of minions emerge from their hiding places at the north staircases. [18:25:02] * A second slinger takes a shot at Eilenia [18:26:45] * The shot at Eve goes wide, but the second hits Eilenia dead on the forehead, leaving a harsh bruise. [18:26:54] Ow! [18:27:37] [Paera's turn] [18:29:07] Erathis preserve us... [18:29:43] * Paera raises her holy symbol, pointing at the closest kobold, calling down a lance of white light from the heavens. [18:31:08] * Paera moves towards Xiv, praying quietly. Eilenia feels better. [18:34:00] Thanks! [18:34:05] [Eve's turn] [18:41:10] [Eilenia's turn] [18:41:13] * Eve_Kasnora glances back at Eilenia, sees that she's okay, and lunges foward onto the pile of debris, slicing the air above one of the kobold's heads. [18:41:43] "I am your opponent today, kobold! Face me or be punished!" [18:43:36] * Eilenia holds her orb and points at one of the minions. She looks bored. A cloud of daggers made of force materializes around him. "I want to take a nap soon." [18:44:20] * Eilenia starts moving towards Paera [18:44:40] Focus, Eili. You can nap later. [18:44:50] Fine, fine. [18:45:10] * The kobold ducks out of the way, temporarily evading the daggers. Meanwhile, the wounded dragonshield swings his shield aside to go for a jab at Xan and goes wide, and the second dragonshield runs down the stairs, circling around. [18:45:18] [Xan's turn] [18:47:07] * Xan once again dually strikes at the dragonshield that managed to get such a solid blow in on him, hammer, then blade. [18:51:57] * The kobold minion within the cloud of daggers subcumbs to his wounds and falls, while the one engaged with Eve tries to stick a javelin into her, which skips off her armor. The slingers, moving to the north edge of the balcony, fire bullets which become lost among the junkpile. [18:52:04] [Paera's turn] [18:53:37] * Paera continues to murmur quietly, focussing on the Kobold Xan is fighting. Light falls from the sky once again, [18:54:06] * Xan has bashed this kobold to the point of its body regretting allowing its mind to walk towards the gith. [18:54:42] [Eve's turn] [18:54:59] * The kobold is clearly on the verge of running away, knowing when it's outmatched. [18:57:42] [Eilenia's turn] [18:57:44] * Eve_Kasnora furiously swings away, cleaving the air above and to the side of the kobold as it maddeningly dances out of her reach. [18:59:23] "Sit still and face the wrath of Bahamut!" [19:01:24] * Eilenia waves her free hand in the general direction of the one Eve is trying to hit. "Sit still and face the wrath of Corellon." THe force daggers vanish and reappear around the surviving one. [19:03:02] * The kobold leaps back into the cloud of daggers as it dodges one of Eve's strikes and is cut to shreds. [19:03:21] I told you to sit still. [19:03:23] * Eve_Kasnora looks over her shoulder and archs a brow at Eilenia. [19:03:26] Listen when people talk to you. [19:03:27] * Eilenia frowns [19:03:56] "I would have prefered honorable combat, but that was much more efficient." [19:04:43] "I would have preferred a shared campsite." [19:05:28] * The second dragonshield dashes up behind Xan, taking a stab at him. Seeing a change to run, the first ducks away and runs for the staircase. [19:05:41] [Xan's turn] [19:07:05] I would prefer we just finish this up while we still have daylight. [19:09:24] * Xan takes a step towards the fleeing dragonshield and away from the other, firing out two shards of silver at the witless kobold. [19:12:52] * Both of the slingers pepper Eve with shots as she advances across the junkpile. [19:12:58] * Xan doesn't seem to have any joy at dispatching the kobold, the first shard pelting itself solidly into the wall before it, making the kobold skid to a stop in its tracks, the other impaling its head and pinning it to the wall. [19:13:20] [Paera's turn] [19:17:11] * Paera backs away, holding her holy symbol in one hand and pointing it at the shield-bearing kobold. "Erathis condemns you, bane of civilization." A lance of golden light fires from her hand at the creature. [19:18:15] * The kobold screeches in pain [19:18:20] [Eve's turn] [19:20:01] * Charles (CHBoucher@dsl2-161.gsinet.net) Quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer#) [19:20:02] * Charles (CHBoucher@dsl2-161.gsinet.net) has joined #Odal [19:23:55] [Eilenia's turn] [19:23:56] * Eve_Kasnora takes a quick scan of the battle and notes that the slingers are continuing their barrage unhindered. She jumps over the remaining junk onto solid ground and dashes up the stairs to the second floor of the way point, rounding the corner onto the bridge, brandishing her weapons at the kobold slinger before her. [19:24:50] "Taste steel!" [19:27:00] * Eilenia heads back and up the stairs. She raises her orb and it flashes. A thunderous crack strikes the area before her, and the waves of force shove the kobold back at Xan. [19:27:49] * The dragonsheild, shaken from the magical barrage, takes a disoriented swing at Xan and misses [19:29:15] * The second slinger ducks back, loads its sling with a ceramic sphere, and flings it at Eve, and its compatriot follows. Both hit. [19:29:48] * As the spheres crack open, Eve is covered in a thick adhesive, while a strange flammable gel begins to scald her. [19:30:19] [Paera's turn] [19:33:14] [Actually Xan's turn][ [19:34:21] * Xan looks to the kobold pushed his way, meeting the force of the shove with two swings that hopefully stop it in its tracks. [19:37:51] * The kobold is struck, and looks ready to leave the fight as soon as it can find a way [19:38:19] "Why bother attacking weary travelers if you're just going to run off?" [19:39:24] * The kobold grimaces. "This is Wyrmgear's home! Get out!" [19:40:26] [Paera's turn] [19:41:19] Not rightfully. We'll be taking it back. [19:41:49] * Paera continues to point at the fleeing kobold, another bolt of light streaking down from the sky. [19:42:14] [Eve's turn[ [19:43:28] * Eve_Kasnora glares furiously at the kobold that shot her with glue. "I've had just about enough of your kobold tricks! EERRRRRRGH!" [19:43:59] * Eve_Kasnora tears herself out of the glue and lunges at the kobold slinger. [19:45:43] [Eiliena's turn] [19:48:21] * Eilenia steps up the stairs some more and turns to the kobold on Xan. She raises her orb again, and a crack of thunder forces the kobold off the stairs. When it lands, it doesn't get back up. [19:49:26] [Xan's turn] [19:51:14] * Xan looks to slinger one, putting his palms together, then suddenly pulling them apart, flinging them out in the kobold's direction, silver streaks flowing from his palms like droplets of deadly water. [19:55:04] * The slingers dart back, trying to cover their retreat with sling bullets towards Eve and Xan, the first of which goes wide, the second of which hits Xan in the upper arm [19:56:20] [Paera's turn] * Retrieving #Odal modes... [20:01:51] * Paera moves forward, turning her attention to the slingers now. "Erathis, don't let me miss this one..." The familiar (and inaccurate) light bolts from the sky once more. [20:02:59] * Paera smiles slightly as the attack hits, and murmurs something softly. The pain of Eve's wounds eases. [20:03:30] [Eve's turn] [20:04:45] * Eve_Kasnora runs across the bridge, hopping off at the last second and raising both of her swords above her head, coming down with a simultaneously vertical slash to the slinger that glued her. [20:06:00] [Eilenia's turn] [20:11:00] * Eilenia tosses her orb just a little, and twirls it. It flashes blue, and a drop of pure luminous Feywild water materializes and descends near the kobolds. Then it spreads out an instant and freezes to ice as soon as it touches the ground, instnatly causing one of them to slip and fall down. The other retains his footing [20:11:05] [Xan's turn] [20:14:57] * Xan flings two more arrows in the direction of his quarry, both of them finding their mark this time. [20:15:55] * The last kobold tries to squeeze by Xan in his desperate flight for the stairs [20:16:19] * Xan puts two neat, clean holes in the Kobold's chest, the arrows tilting outward, having both hit the exact same spot, both puncturing its heart. [20:17:19] * Xan clutches his hand into a fist as the kobold tries to run by him, having just shot a killing arrow from his gauntlet's palm, swinging for the skittering-away kobold's head. [20:19:28] "NO ESCAPE!" [20:19:50] * Eve_Kasnora cuts the kobold's head from it's shoulders as it tries to flee with a scissoring slice from her swords. [20:21:42] [Encounter over] [20:22:02] * Eve_Kasnora flicks the blood from her swords and sheaths them. [20:22:20] * Eilenia rubs her orb. Good work! [20:22:22] "So.. who is this Wyrmgear to be being?" [20:22:32] * Xan searches the area for items of interest, a bit bloodied and beaten, but searching for practical use of the situation and making sure that the portcullis is the only way further in. [20:22:35] Some kind of worm in the shape of a gear. [20:22:51] Perhaps a snake eating its own tail. [20:22:52] "I am not to be thinking it is so literal." [20:22:59] I undertand this is a popular icon. [20:23:00] No? [20:23:04] "Perhaps stopping this kobold issue at its source will allow us to travel more freely in the area." [20:23:56] "Undoubtedly so, comrade. The kobolds have been becoming more organized." [20:24:48] * Xan nods as he moves about. "We should camp here for the evening, then go further in later on." [20:24:50] * Paera sighs in relief, wiping the sweat from her forehead. "Hmm. I would think if he was here, he would have heard the battle by now." [20:25:55] "There's a trigger for the portcullis in this junkpile, and these stairs go upwards. [20:26:22] Interesting. [20:27:00] "Hmm. I am to be thinking we set up watch for tonight and not enter until the morning." [20:27:25] Agreed. [20:27:55] That sounds like a good idea. [20:28:16] * Xan nods. [20:28:31] "I will be taking first watch, comrades." [20:28:43] What will you do over the night? [20:28:46] "You can awaken me for second." [20:28:56] * Xan starts to make camp. [20:29:02] * Eve_Kasnora moves toward the cart and begins making a camp fire with supplies from her pack. [20:29:42] Awaken? Oh, right! You sleep, don't you? [20:29:47] I will stand by and watch you sleep. [20:30:03] "I have been living alone in this swamp for some time now, and I am usually occupied by my medidations on the Platinum Lord, but tonight, I will be occupying myself with your saftey." [20:31:00] "Know that I appreciate it." [20:31:08] * Paera raises an eyebrow. "Yes, we sleep." [20:31:32] * Eve_Kasnora nods to Xan. [20:31:52] "You require no sleep?" [20:32:11] * Xan unrolls a bedroll. [20:32:53] I am an Eladrin. We don't need to sleep. We just sit or lie down for a few hours, and that's all we need. But I understand that you work differently. What do you do when you close your eyes and make strange noises? [20:33:23] "I visualize my home. Allow my mind to drift there." [20:33:32] * Eve_Kasnora chuckles. "That depends entirely on what kind of strange noises we are to be making at the time." [20:35:11] * Paera laughs. "Sleep. Dream. I guess it's hard to explain if you don't do it." [20:35:44] Dream.... ah. So you spend eight hours of the day lying still while hallucinating vividly. Don't you find that strange? [20:36:21] "I find it strange that you do not." [20:37:00] "Dreams are how we are to be relieving the stress of the day." [20:37:43] Hmmm.... okay! [20:37:54] I shall keep watch, then. [20:38:02] * Xan decides now to be a good time to drift off. [20:38:35] * Paera shrugs. "Anything can sound strange with the right description." She gets ready to sleep. [20:38:54] [Session end] [20:42:03] 125 XP, bringing totals to 250.

[18:59:23] "Sit still and face the wrath of Bahamut!" [19:01:24] * Eilenia waves her free hand in the general direction of the one Eve is trying to hit. "Sit still and face the wrath of Corellon." THe force daggers vanish and reappear around the surviving one. [19:03:02] * The kobold leaps back into the cloud of daggers as it dodges one of Eve's strikes and is cut to shreds. [19:03:21] I told you to sit still. [19:03:23] * Eve_Kasnora looks over her shoulder and archs a brow at Eilenia. [19:03:26] Listen when people talk to you. [19:03:27] * Eilenia frowns [19:03:56] "I would have prefered honorable combat, but that was much more efficient." [19:04:43] "I would have preferred a shared campsite." [19:05:28] * The second dragonshield dashes up behind Xan, taking a stab at him. Seeing a change to run, the first ducks away and runs for the staircase. [19:05:41] [Xan's turn] [19:07:05] I would prefer we just finish this up while we still have daylight. [19:09:24] * Xan takes a step towards the fleeing dragonshield and away from the other, firing out two shards of silver at the witless kobold. [19:12:52] * Both of the slingers pepper Eve with shots as she advances across the junkpile. [19:12:58] * Xan doesn't seem to have any joy at dispatching the kobold, the first shard pelting itself solidly into the wall before it, making the kobold skid to a stop in its tracks, the other impaling its head and pinning it to the wall. [19:13:20] [Paera's turn] [19:17:11] * Paera backs away, holding her holy symbol in one hand and pointing it at the shield-bearing kobold. "Erathis condemns you, bane of civilization." A lance of golden light fires from her hand at the creature. [19:18:15] * The kobold screeches in pain [19:18:20] [Eve's turn] [19:20:01] * Charles (CHBoucher@dsl2-161.gsinet.net) Quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer#) [19:20:02] * Charles (CHBoucher@dsl2-161.gsinet.net) has joined #Odal [19:23:55] [Eilenia's turn] [19:23:56] * Eve_Kasnora takes a quick scan of the battle and notes that the slingers are continuing their barrage unhindered. She jumps over the remaining junk onto solid ground and dashes up the stairs to the second floor of the way point, rounding the corner onto the bridge, brandishing her weapons at the kobold slinger before her. [19:24:50] "Taste steel!" [19:27:00] * Eilenia heads back and up the stairs. She raises her orb and it flashes. A thunderous crack strikes the area before her, and the waves of force shove the kobold back at Xan. [19:27:49] * The dragonsheild, shaken from the magical barrage, takes a disoriented swing at Xan and misses [19:29:15] * The second slinger ducks back, loads its sling with a ceramic sphere, and flings it at Eve, and its compatriot follows. Both hit. [19:29:48] * As the spheres crack open, Eve is covered in a thick adhesive, while a strange flammable gel begins to scald her. [19:30:19] [Paera's turn] [19:33:14] [Actually Xan's turn][ [19:34:21] * Xan looks to the kobold pushed his way, meeting the force of the shove with two swings that hopefully stop it in its tracks. [19:37:51] * The kobold is struck, and looks ready to leave the fight as soon as it can find a way [19:38:19] "Why bother attacking weary travelers if you're just going to run off?" [19:39:24] * The kobold grimaces. "This is Wyrmgear's home! Get out!" [19:40:26] [Paera's turn] [19:41:19] Not rightfully. We'll be taking it back. [19:41:49] * Paera continues to point at the fleeing kobold, another bolt of light streaking down from the sky. [19:42:14] [Eve's turn[ [19:43:28] * Eve_Kasnora glares furiously at the kobold that shot her with glue. "I've had just about enough of your kobold tricks! EERRRRRRGH!" [19:43:59] * Eve_Kasnora tears herself out of the glue and lunges at the kobold slinger. [19:45:43] [Eiliena's turn] [19:48:21] * Eilenia steps up the stairs some more and turns to the kobold on Xan. She raises her orb again, and a crack of thunder forces the kobold off the stairs. When it lands, it doesn't get back up. [19:49:26] [Xan's turn] [19:51:14] * Xan looks to slinger one, putting his palms together, then suddenly pulling them apart, flinging them out in the kobold's direction, silver streaks flowing from his palms like droplets of deadly water. [19:55:04] * The slingers dart back, trying to cover their retreat with sling bullets towards Eve and Xan, the first of which goes wide, the second of which hits Xan in the upper arm [19:56:20] [Paera's turn] * Retrieving #Odal modes... [20:01:51] * Paera moves forward, turning her attention to the slingers now. "Erathis, don't let me miss this one..." The familiar (and inaccurate) light bolts from the sky once more. [20:02:59] * Paera smiles slightly as the attack hits, and murmurs something softly. The pain of Eve's wounds eases. [20:03:30] [Eve's turn] [20:04:45] * Eve_Kasnora runs across the bridge, hopping off at the last second and raising both of her swords above her head, coming down with a simultaneously vertical slash to the slinger that glued her. [20:06:00] [Eilenia's turn] [20:11:00] * Eilenia tosses her orb just a little, and twirls it. It flashes blue, and a drop of pure luminous Feywild water materializes and descends near the kobolds. Then it spreads out an instant and freezes to ice as soon as it touches the ground, instnatly causing one of them to slip and fall down. The other retains his footing [20:11:05] [Xan's turn] [20:14:57] * Xan flings two more arrows in the direction of his quarry, both of them finding their mark this time. [20:15:55] * The last kobold tries to squeeze by Xan in his desperate flight for the stairs [20:16:19] * Xan puts two neat, clean holes in the Kobold's chest, the arrows tilting outward, having both hit the exact same spot, both puncturing its heart. [20:17:19] * Xan clutches his hand into a fist as the kobold tries to run by him, having just shot a killing arrow from his gauntlet's palm, swinging for the skittering-away kobold's head. [20:19:28] "NO ESCAPE!" [20:19:50] * Eve_Kasnora cuts the kobold's head from it's shoulders as it tries to flee with a scissoring slice from her swords. [20:21:42] [Encounter over] [20:22:02] * Eve_Kasnora flicks the blood from her swords and sheaths them. [20:22:20] * Eilenia rubs her orb. Good work! [20:22:22] "So.. who is this Wyrmgear to be being?" [20:22:32] * Xan searches the area for items of interest, a bit bloodied and beaten, but searching for practical use of the situation and making sure that the portcullis is the only way further in. [20:22:35] Some kind of worm in the shape of a gear. [20:22:51] Perhaps a snake eating its own tail. [20:22:52] "I am not to be thinking it is so literal." [20:22:59] I undertand this is a popular icon. [20:23:00] No? [20:23:04] "Perhaps stopping this kobold issue at its source will allow us to travel more freely in the area." [20:23:56] "Undoubtedly so, comrade. The kobolds have been becoming more organized." [20:24:48] * Xan nods as he moves about. "We should camp here for the evening, then go further in later on." [20:24:50] * Paera sighs in relief, wiping the sweat from her forehead. "Hmm. I would think if he was here, he would have heard the battle by now." [20:25:55] "There's a trigger for the portcullis in this junkpile, and these stairs go upwards. [20:26:22] Interesting. [20:27:00] "Hmm. I am to be thinking we set up watch for tonight and not enter until the morning." [20:27:25] Agreed. [20:27:55] That sounds like a good idea. [20:28:16] * Xan nods. [20:28:31] "I will be taking first watch, comrades." [20:28:43] What will you do over the night? [20:28:46] "You can awaken me for second." [20:28:56] * Xan starts to make camp. [20:29:02] * Eve_Kasnora moves toward the cart and begins making a camp fire with supplies from her pack. [20:29:42] Awaken? Oh, right! You sleep, don't you? [20:29:47] I will stand by and watch you sleep. [20:30:03] "I have been living alone in this swamp for some time now, and I am usually occupied by my medidations on the Platinum Lord, but tonight, I will be occupying myself with your saftey." [20:31:00] "Know that I appreciate it." [20:31:08] * Paera raises an eyebrow. "Yes, we sleep." [20:31:32] * Eve_Kasnora nods to Xan. [20:31:52] "You require no sleep?" [20:32:11] * Xan unrolls a bedroll. [20:32:53] I am an Eladrin. We don't need to sleep. We just sit or lie down for a few hours, and that's all we need. But I understand that you work differently. What do you do when you close your eyes and make strange noises? [20:33:23] "I visualize my home. Allow my mind to drift there." [20:33:32] * Eve_Kasnora chuckles. "That depends entirely on what kind of strange noises we are to be making at the time." [20:35:11] * Paera laughs. "Sleep. Dream. I guess it's hard to explain if you don't do it." [20:35:44] Dream.... ah. So you spend eight hours of the day lying still while hallucinating vividly. Don't you find that strange? [20:36:21] "I find it strange that you do not." [20:37:00] "Dreams are how we are to be relieving the stress of the day." [20:37:43] Hmmm.... okay! [20:37:54] I shall keep watch, then. [20:38:02] * Xan decides now to be a good time to drift off. [20:38:35] * Paera shrugs. "Anything can sound strange with the right description." She gets ready to sleep. [20:38:54] [Session end] [20:42:03] 125 XP, bringing totals to 250. [20:42:46] You found two heavy shields, two short swords, two scale armors, two slings with 17 bullets each, six javelins, two leather armors and two hide armors [20:44:01] * Eilenia is now known as Demota [20:44:08] * Xan is now known as Mechazawa [20:44:11] * There's also a lot of fine machinery in the scrap pile, which you could maybe sell if you found a dealer, but it's going to be hard anyone who wants it. Most of it, aside from the gears, doesn't serve any identifyable purpose [20:44:15] * Paera is now known as Yonjuuni End of #Odal buffer Thu Jun 26 20:44:33 2008
