Start of #Exalted buffer: Wed Jun 17 21:18:34 2009 [17:45:34] Lemme get FUuko up [17:45:50] * Fuuko (demota@71.202.41.240) has joined #Exalted [17:45:53] 1d20 [17:45:54] Demota rolls 1D20: 9 [17:47:50] :toot: [17:48:35] Alright, get IC, everyone [17:49:04] * Demota is now known as Eilenia [17:49:21] Man, that 'gnolls trying to be civilized' idea I had gets better if you imagine it happening over a long time and every time the gnoll is asked a question, its answer is a more hesitant "...IS RAPE?" [17:49:38] Until, finally, one day it answers "IS NOT RAPE?" and gets a treat [17:49:46] HAahah [17:49:46] * Yon is now known as Paera [17:49:49] Hahahahahah [17:50:09] * ChanServ sets mode: +o NovaSeaker [17:50:26] hahahahaahahahahahha [17:50:28] * NovaSeaker is now known as Eve_Kasnora [17:56:53] So, before we start, do you guys want to pick up from the conversation with W'vren, or after it, when you're ready to bring the food back home? [17:57:18] Either way [17:58:14] I'm okay with it being after [17:59:54] WHat were we talking to him about again? [18:00:17] I wanted to know how to seal the eye's influence [18:00:30] For safter transport and to shield Xan from it [18:00:36] aah [18:00:43] I'm okay with doing some stuff there [18:00:52] W'vren basically said "It's part of a GOD. Good luck. Maybe a high priest of Ioun knows how." [18:01:03] Eve went to do it alone [18:02:10] Oh. [18:02:16] Mayb e we can hanadle that in a minisession, then [18:02:21] Actually, the others tagged along to talk with him. But I guess we know the result of it [18:03:39] http://safebooru.donmai.us/post/show/355342/15-animal-animal_ears-ankle_boots-boots-cloud-glov Man, I love these llama pictures [18:04:27] Yeah [18:05:14] Oh yeah, Cha, I thought of a potential Eberron PC I'd want to play in an Eberron game. [18:06:04] A changeling adrenaline junky that ends up manifesting the Mark of Storm, becoming an airship pirate in paragon, and going Storm Sovereign for his Epic Destiny. [18:06:27] Cool [18:06:52] I like the idea of a dragonmarked changeling being unable to get rid of the mark, but being able to move it across his body. [18:07:32] You know, I think the player's guide is EXACTLY what Eberron needed, since the 3.5 book made absolutely NO effort to diffentiate between public and secret information. [18:07:39] And then changing into a featureless combat-monster type form like Aun does, but with a brightly glowing Dragonmark smack in the middle of his face. [18:07:45] Yeah [18:08:05] Like, there would be a brief mention of 'this is secret', but often it'd mention things' dark secrets immediately after the public knowledge [18:08:08] (Oh, and with lightning crackling from the mark) [18:08:19] Yeah [18:08:31] Leading to stuff like, in 3.5, me wondering "Why the fuck would anyone belong to the Blood of Vol? It's clearly a goddamn lich cult" [18:08:52] While in the 4e player's guide, it's just portrayed as a self-help/mutual support society [18:08:56] I vaguely remember doing the largest genuine eye-roll reaction in my adult life when it was like "Oh yeah, Kaius is a vampire and is pretending to be his son" [18:08:57] Huh [18:09:18] They also changed the Blood of Vol from Evil to Unaligned. [18:09:50] Odd [18:10:13] Well it turned out that the actual faith that people are adhering too is just fairly creepy but not actually evil [18:10:24] Honestly, I can see the Blood of Vol being like the Freemasons now. [18:10:32] Like if you go by the Sharn book's sidebar of what Vol-ite worshipers are like. [18:11:04] Also, there's the fact that the vast, vast majority of Blood of Vol adherants have no idea that Erandis Vol exists. [18:12:04] Yeah [18:12:41] Also, they changed the focus of the Path of Light a little. Like, it used to be LN, IIRC, and now it's LG, and the brief blurb mentions that it cares about personal freedom and the like [18:13:07] Yeah [18:13:14] Actually, I think the 'Kalashtar are both serene and capable of occaisional puzzling, inappropriate outbursts' thing is new to me, too [18:13:29] It was there, but downplayed [18:13:50] Basically, Kalashtar that don't always agree with their quori spirit are a bit unstable. [18:13:54] It reminds me of stuff like the "Squak like a moron then shit on your desk" command early in Homestuck. :V [18:14:04] And might do crazy things, like grapple a mind flayer over a pit of lava. [18:14:09] hahahah [18:15:35] Yeah. They seem to be implying that doing crazy things is a standard feature of the race now [18:15:43] * Eve_Kasnora nods. [18:15:55] I'll probably ignore that bit. [18:16:21] Or rather, I'll have Kalashtar NPCs hide it very well. [18:16:43] I think it helps them be less like the Universally Boring Race. :| [18:17:10] * Miashta runs up to the party. "Aun's in trouble! Excuse me!" * Miashta shits off the side of a skybridge. [18:17:30] haahaha [18:18:19] I also like the idea that kalashtar children are creepy as fuck. [18:19:03] http://safebooru.donmai.us/post/show/469968/akiyama_mio-comic-crossover-k-on-monochrome-multip Ahahaahah oh wow. [18:19:06] By 'ship out', I didn't mean literally. It might be quicker to use the portal circle to get back to the Sky Tower [18:19:15] ... oh. :( [18:19:24] Are we capable of doing that? [18:20:17] I don't know if you guys can, yet, but I imagine that Eilenia knows the rune code to get to the tower, and there's probably an NPC who can cast Linked Portal [18:20:48] I like the idea of Eilenia having them load the ship up with the harvest before bringing it up the the teleportation circle, and that, specifically, being her handiwork. :V [18:20:58] haha [18:21:29] hahaha [18:21:49] We know W'vren is a ritual caster. Mayhap he be castin it [18:22:31] http://safebooru.donmai.us/post/show/470928/adachi_tohru-amagi_yukiko-doujima_nanako-doujima_r This is amazing but Nova isn't allowed to look. [18:22:37] Spoilers? [18:22:56] Nah, just arbitrary descriptions [18:23:34] There are some spoilers, yes [18:23:47] Restrictions, rather. :saddowns: [18:24:26] http://safebooru.donmai.us/post/show/465316/black_hair-dinosaur-ka92-long_hair-power_lines-rob This is awesome, but Demota isn't allowed to look [18:25:28] :( [18:25:47] Heh [18:25:52] Thanks for the warning Yon [18:37:17] Suddenly I'm picturing the entire DnD economy working on those chocolate coins wraped in gold foil [18:37:30] hahaha [18:38:03] I'm picturing Elena eating normal money. [18:46:03] That's seriously got to be the most off-putting thing I've ever experience in a DnD game. [18:46:05] Shoot. I gotta drive off to pick up mom soonish. [18:46:07] What is? [18:46:31] A wizard shouldering a door open ready to cast gods-know-what at you, with the Children of the Corn right behind him. [18:46:45] haha [18:49:44] Okay, looks like I don't have to go yet [18:53:20] Elena lost points for liberating the Refuge Float? And obtaining the Eye of Motherfucking Vecna?! O_o [18:54:14] If you're given math homework and end up writing the world's best poem halfway through it, the teacher won't be giving you extra points. :| [18:56:27] hahaha [18:56:42] So her asignment was getting food [18:56:52] Yeah. [18:56:52] And Refuge Float was too long of a diversion [18:57:12] What sort of grade is Acceptable? It sounds like a solid C to me. [18:59:45] It's probably equivalent to that, yeah. [18:59:54] :( [19:01:13] Plow also doesn't sleep, but, really, who wants to talk to a robot? :V [19:03:03] :smith: [19:03:11] *Temper :smith: [19:04:10] Are the Eladrin children all Elena's age? [19:05:12] Yeah, or younger. I figure they're not uniform but probably between, like, ten and fifteen [19:05:59] * Eve_Kasnora nods. [19:08:14] How old is this eladrin guy? [19:08:33] He's an adult eladrin. Aside from that, it's hard to tell. [19:08:56] Well, past a certain age, Eladrin don't really GET older. I mean, they might appear older, but they're always young in some way [19:09:43] Like, he could be anywhere between twenty and two hundred years old. [19:10:25] Oh right [19:10:35] Is he... good looking? >_> [19:10:42] Probably [19:11:22] Yeah. Not, like, Brad Pitt handsome, but kind of a Giles-meets-Elrond sort of way [19:11:31] I'm basically trying to roleplay Eve being somewhat enamored with him [19:11:41] * Charles nods [19:12:04] Got the idea when he said "the pleasure is mine" Dunno if he said it like he meant it or whatnot. [19:12:19] But I figure Eve is susceptable to a charming man every now and then. [19:12:35] I imagine that after a month with Eilenia, it's probably still really difficult to tell eladrin sarcasm. He might have. :V [19:12:39] (Also, Giles-meets-Elrond just makes me thing "huge forehead, glasses") [19:12:59] haha [19:14:23] I think Eve might just have a thing for wizards. That'd be funny. [19:14:49] "They are just being so... bookish and cute." [19:15:05] Hahah [19:15:22] So she's a sucker for "I put on my robe and wizard hat."? :V [19:15:31] Hahahahah [19:15:31] hahahahaha [19:15:46] "Cast level 9 mage hand!" [19:16:07] * Eve_Kasnora shakes head and sinks into chair. "New low." [19:18:47] Tenser's Floating Disc. [19:18:59] I'm not going to boether deducting money if our posessions are getting reset anyway [19:19:05] * Charles nods [19:21:32] OKay, I don't have to leave ta ll after all [19:21:36] * Yongon (dlarmour@wnpgmb1307w-ad02-33-137.dynamic.mts.net) has joined #Exalted [19:21:41] * Paera (dlarmour@wnpgmb1307w-ad02-33-137.dynamic.mts.net) Quit (Read error: No route to host) [19:21:49] * Yongon is now known as Paera [19:23:07] If "Tolerable" is a grade, I'm guessing that's a D? [19:23:45] * Charles nods. "That's possible." [19:24:06] I imagine there are probably a lot of grades of avoiding failure for his students. :V [19:24:11] "And he is loving children. So cute!" [19:24:21] Heh [19:25:17] I imagine that someone teaching eladrin children how to manipulate the fundamental aspects of reality can't really lay positive enforcement on very thick. :| [19:25:27] I'm gonna go ahead and try an Arcana check here [19:25:39] 1d20+13 [19:25:40] Eilenia rolls 1D20+13: 5 +13 = 18 [19:26:01] My disc can carry 500 pounds of food. Suck on that, Conestoga Wagon with 8 Oxen [19:26:06] Hahaha [19:26:22] hhaha, true [19:26:36] hahahahaha [19:27:58] Are you going to Astral Speech him into Eve's vagina? [19:29:31] Nah [19:29:42] Am I on the lower tower section too? And the other studnets, I guess [19:29:51] Yeah [19:30:03] I don't think Eve's that loose with her divine blessings, if you catch my drift nudge nudge wink wink [19:31:08] Coward. :/ [19:31:44] Coward? [19:31:52] For those paying attention to the setting lore, his brother is the portal researcher in Nesonarn. [19:33:15] Ahaha [19:33:36] Would we have connected that in-game yet? [19:34:26] Well, their family name is Anyss for both of them. But the Odal's Fen crew hasn't heard of the portal marines, and the Nesonarn crew doesn't know what the fuck about some little swamp town [19:35:02] haha [19:35:35] (And of course he's a coward, he's a fuckin' wizard. :V) [19:35:38] I forgot about the "Anyss" collection. [19:35:45] hah [19:35:48] If he was going to be brave, he would have been a swordmage [19:35:56] hahaha [19:36:05] Or he could half-ass it and hybrid. [19:36:08] Like Guy [19:36:41] And I think War Wizards would be more Eve's type. [19:40:08] Damn, I can't find the document that detailed the town, so I lost all the NPC names. :( [19:40:28] Its' not on the wiki? [19:40:46] Oh, it might be [19:40:50] http://ednd.pbworks.com/Odal%27s+Fen [19:41:30] Thanks [19:47:22] I did kind of want an (ingame) month off to justify retraining and re-looting and for characters to do their own thing, so if someone could try and convince Eve that an eyeball in a sack isn't going anywhere, I'd appreciate it. :| [19:49:02] I'm not sure how we can do that [19:49:28] Maybe she'll meet them there. [19:50:03] Eve's pretty sure getting this thing sealed as quickly as possible is the absolute best thing, rather than sitting on her thumbs with a religious time bomb in her lap. [19:51:46] Maybe if she goes ahead and everyone else takes a portal in a month, they could get there simultaneously, since the roads are still dangerous (and it is a thousand miles away :| ) [19:53:51] Heh [19:53:59] Eve would be okay with that. [19:54:42] Also, it kind of amuses me that the group is kinda treating the Eye of Vecna like the One Ring, because now I'm conflating Sauron and Vecna [19:55:09] haha [19:55:19] Oh, come on, it's not the Ear of Vecna. :| [19:55:21] Heh, I thought of that too [19:55:28] haha [19:55:56] Man, Eve is a low-level paladin and she's holding a physical piece of an evil god. She is scared shitless of this thing. [19:57:14] Maybe we can portal there real quick and they can tell us a real quick solution to at least keep it from seeing stuff? :( [19:57:40] I think the "I'll meet you guys there" thing is the best solution. [19:57:46] Eve's not going to sit on this one. [19:59:23] Any ideas? [20:00:28] I think the "I'll meet you guys there" thing is the best solution. [20:02:01] Man, looking through Manual of the Planes, it doesn't say SHIT about Vecna's astral realm [20:02:13] I guess we could go to that place, and THEN take the month off? [20:04:05] Cha: Sore wa... [20:05:51] Yeah, I was thinking of that. I was mostly disappointed that they didn't have a name for it, so I couldn't write about how there were nine eyes for the mortal men, doomed to die. :| [20:06:22] haha [20:06:38] nine eyes of vecna? :gonk: [20:06:54] oh right, LotR reference. [20:07:22] Well, really, eighteen when you include the three for the elven kings under the sky and five for the dwarven lords in their halls of stone. And the one for the maimed god on his maimed throne [20:07:26] Just wait, this'll turn out to be a fake Eye of Vecna then we'll have to go back and beat up the Wizard of Yendor [20:07:53] Hahaha [20:08:01] Oh to HELL with that. >:C [20:08:18] Heh [20:08:58] Does anyone remember that Cha was really drunk when he DMed the session were we got the Eye? [20:09:16] Also, Paera seems to like her mother much more than Mari likes hers. [20:09:27] Mari's mom is a snob though. [20:10:44] Wow [20:10:58] Hell, come to think of it, a LOT of characters I play hate their parents. :V [20:11:02] haha [20:11:21] haha [20:12:04] (Megumi, 'Theia, and Atsuko all hated their parents to various degrees. :V ) [20:17:29] Hahahah "If you fail to bring a fatally poisoned man to his doctor, you lose 10 karma. If you fail to a potted plant on time, you lose 20 karma. The game has interesting priorities." [20:18:24] Hahahaha what? [20:19:02] Someone talking about the quest system in Elona. :V [20:19:56] haha [20:20:27] I am totally going to play that shit after game tonight. [20:23:11] Hahahah Just got to the 10th floor of Lesimas, I did not expect this: http://img.waffleimages.com/4d2b38186886d202bdd9783e34d15cae1707ebc4/hardgay.jpg [20:23:27] e: I love this game. http://img.waffleimages.com/bdb4d575a24fb178223be712f488801a4cdd2698/gotohelldonotpassgodonotcollect200dollars.jpg [20:24:23] Haaaahahahaha [20:26:47] hahahha, for some reason this totally floored me [20:26:48] http://www.smbc-comics.com/index.php?db=comics&id=1549#comic [20:28:09] Hahaha, I love the red button panel [20:28:18] Yeah [20:28:25] That's the thing that had me rolling [20:28:43] haha [20:29:50] Ahhahahahaha that's fantastic. [20:30:35] Ahaha... I wonder if Paera's mother is faux italian. [20:30:52] Hahahhaha http://www.smbc-comics.com/index.php?db=comics&id=1548#comic [20:30:58] My mom does this thing where she always *always* askes twice when offering something to eat. [20:31:08] haha [20:31:19] "Do you want more potatoes?" "No, I'm good." "You sure?" "YES" [20:31:48] And, by the way, snapping YES is the only way to ensure she doesn't continue onto the "C'mon! They're good!" etc. etc. [20:32:19] I'll remember that next time I see your mother [20:32:20] OH SNAP [20:32:40] :O [20:32:47] MY MOTHER IS AN ANGEL AND A SAINT! [20:33:00] I'LL KLL YOU [20:33:17] A saint... in bed! [20:33:21] * Charles waggles his eyebrows [20:33:34] * Eve_Kasnora explodes from all the rage. [20:36:16] This seems like a good place to skip forward in time. [20:36:19] "I had sex with your mom" jokes are forever ruined AND enhanced for me thanks to The Spy. :V [20:36:29] Hahaha [20:36:42] hahahaha [20:36:43] haha [20:37:00] (though I can't quite imagine him saying "OH SNAP" yet.) [20:44:57] This is interesting. [20:45:10] I don't think I've managed to roleplay Eve in downtime yet. [20:45:22] She seems really easily amused. [20:46:55] heh [20:51:00] I'm getting pretty tired [20:51:11] :/ [20:55:20] :T [20:57:47] I'll try to wrap it up in the next 10 or 20 minutes [20:58:12] thanks [21:04:28] and explodes in t [21:05:05] fireworks! :D [21:05:08] :D:D:D:D:D [21:05:42] Wizards and fireworks are always great [21:05:51] yeah [21:08:15] I sort of want to do a little more at the festival, but unless people want to roleplay on their own more, Paera's line (before I fucked it up by C&Ping the end of the paragraph) seems like a good place to end i [21:08:20] It, rather [21:08:33] I really want to do more. [21:09:27] What do you other guys think? [21:09:33] I can stop if you can't go on more [21:10:18] I wanna go sleeps [21:11:09] I guess this is a good place to end it, then. [21:11:13] Yeah. [21:11:21] When'll our next session be? [21:11:39] Next Monday [21:11:45] Alright. [21:11:59] I'll try to talk to the Nesonarn players about a possible time to move the game to [21:12:02] And if Eilenia and Paera want to keep talking, they definitely can [21:12:08] Also, do you need my DCI for reporting this to the RPGA? [21:12:20] Nah, I'm not overly concerned with that [21:12:22] 5209526128 [21:12:24] Alright [21:12:33] It's a good line to stop on right now [21:13:17] alrighty [21:13:19] night guys [21:13:22] Night [21:13:24] I'd kinda like to take off for now but I wouldn't mind doing a little side-thing to give them a chance to talk at some point [21:13:41] A minisesison sometime would be good [21:13:48] * Charles nods [21:14:36] Dem, when you upload the log, could you fix the paragraph about the fireworks so that it ends on Paera's line instead of me fixing my verbose fuckup? [21:15:00] Sure [21:16:22] * Eve_Kasnora (novaseaker@c-24-129-25-205.hsd1.fl.comcast.net) Quit (Ping timeout: 180 seconds) [21:18:33] * Paera is now known as Yon End of #Exalted buffer Wed Jun 17 21:18:34 2009
