Start of #Exalted buffer: Wed Dec 23 17:05:33 2009 [16:05:19] http://www.bleedingcool.com/2009/12/20/preview-alan-moore-dojinshi-by-ryusuke-hamamoto oh what the hell [16:06:00] Gametable now running [16:07:29] * Eilenia is now known as Demota [16:07:32] * Demota is now known as Eilenia [16:07:33] * ChanServ sets mode: +o Eilenia [16:12:03] I.... [16:12:12] Never thought I'd see Alan Moore rule 63 [16:18:28] * NovaSeaker is now known as Eve_Kasnora [16:19:07] Rule 63? [16:19:30] There is always a female version. [16:19:37] hahahaha [16:19:46] Really? [16:20:04] Really. [16:20:09] Oh man. I ran into a Goblin Stabber in Torchlight, but he started stabbing me. [16:20:13] I think I might have to bug report this [16:20:15] What about... female... uh...Dirty Harry? [16:20:23] I've also seen Alan Moore rule 34 D: [16:20:32] D: [16:20:35] Dem: Hahahah [16:20:38] Nova: If you look hard enough, you will find it [16:20:50] Female Dexter? [16:21:00] I'm kinda reminded of the Alan Moore thing on Ghastly's ghastly webcomic [16:21:10] Oh, cool. The mail you get a Pandaren Monk in is sent from Chen Stormstout [16:21:16] Ooh [16:21:17] See above. [16:22:39] I'm kinda curious, but not morbidly enough to actually look. [16:23:24] * Charles changes topic to '#Exalted: You relieved yourself! Your condition became "I <3 Glycon"| Sharn II: Player Slot Open! Inquire Within!| Odal's Fen: hecho en mexico | Dem's GT IP: 71.202.41.240 / Port 6812 | Youkai Thursdays 5 Pacific | http://demota.sandwich.net/rpg |TV screens means soft core gay erotica' [16:23:31] Glycon? [16:24:01] It's the note in Alan Moore's locker. Glycon is the snake god he worships [16:24:04] Aah [16:24:49] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glycon [16:25:02] oooh [16:26:24] He has performed spoken word under the name the Moon and Serpent Grand Egyptian Theatre of Marvels. <- Referring to Alan Moore, but apparently it's a group of occultists [16:26:34] I like the idea of someone referring to themselves as a theatre of marvels [16:26:53] haha [16:26:56] heh [16:28:36] I always liked the interview where he said the reason he worshipped Glycon was because it had fantastic hair. [16:31:46] Hey, what's the benefit of those Torchlight scroll dungeons? [16:31:51] Also, when's the cutoff time for when we run? [16:32:31] The benefit of scroll dungeons, from what I can tell, is fame grinding. [16:32:49] There are a LOT of boss-type monsters in those dungeons [16:32:59] * Eilenia nods [16:33:01] We'll start at 8 PM. [16:33:01] What's Fame do for me? [16:33:04] Does fame do anything beyond extra skill points? [16:33:07] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Moon_and_Serpent_Bumper_Book_of_Magic Oh man, I really want this [16:34:36] No, just an extra skill point. [16:34:53] But a skill point is like, half the fun of leveling. [16:34:59] So it's like gaining half a level [16:35:00] * Eilenia nods [16:35:22] IF we start at 8, I'm gonna run out real quick and get some food. [16:36:49] Hahahah, Alan Moore's book on magic is going to include a pulp story [16:36:54] Any tips on general guidelines for selling stuff? I'm pretty much full up in inventory stuff. :( [16:37:02] And a fold-out Kaballah board game [16:37:02] Socketed gear and green gear and all that crap [16:37:06] Sell fucking EVERYTHING [16:37:24] There is literally nothing you have that's irreplacable, especially if it's green [16:38:29] I guess I could let go of this white sockets stuff, at least [16:38:41] EVERYTHING. [16:40:45] Well, golds and purples are probably worth tossing in your shared stash [16:40:54] That's true [16:40:57] My melee guy was ridiculous. he got like, 3 golds [16:41:05] But everything but golds and purples has no purple but being sold [16:42:16] ....hehee [16:42:31] That typo made me giggle [16:44:10] I wish towns worked like Diablo 1. [16:44:26] I kept every single item and maxed pile of gold on the ground in Tristram [16:44:40] Just piles of gold, everywhere I walked, when I went back to town [16:44:51] That's insane. [16:45:18] Better Howard Hughes then sorry. [16:46:13] haha [16:49:48] Hahahahaha [16:50:56] (I did that too, but I never played D1 long enough for it to get REALLY bad) [16:51:27] I had piles of gold, but I literally can't imagine keeping items in this sort of game [16:51:32] Items exist to be made into gold [16:52:23] Yeah [16:54:30] I wish I had some clue how transmutation actually WORKED [16:54:52] Well, three potions of the same type gives you a potion of hte next tier. [16:54:58] All I know are the potion and gem formulas [16:55:01] And 2 gems of hte same type give you the same gem of hte next tier [16:57:34] Oh, those defense permanent buff items. Cna you use multiple onf the same type on the same character? [16:57:43] I noticed you get a +2 defense permanent potion real early on [16:57:55] Well fuck, guess I need to stop vendoring my potions. :downs: [16:58:30] I have never gotten a permanent potion [16:58:42] The first boss always drops one [16:58:59] Alright, I'm good for game [16:59:02] I have never rememberrting getting a permanent potion [16:59:23] Alright, it's go time [16:59:32] Anyone who's playing, get IC and in-channel [17:02:55] Oh, I've decided everyone gets Expertise for free at 5th level, with boosts at 15 and 25 [17:03:10] * Yon is now known as Paera [17:03:12] Expertise is what, the feat that gives us +1 to hit? [17:03:21] Yeah [17:03:30] Alright, I'll need to find a replacement feat sometime [17:03:32] Which was meant to fix the broken MM1 stats [17:03:45] Well, you had a list of like 40 of the fucking things. :| [17:04:11] Oh sweet [17:04:16] I think I get a free feat then [17:04:20] Cause Eve already had it [17:05:46] Matt around? [17:06:12] i'll text Rusty again [17:07:23] IMed Matt [17:07:39] Hahahah "Your podcast is like an incredibly complicated game show, where nobody wins anything." [17:08:13] 1d20+5 [17:08:14] Charles rolls 1D20+5: 20 +5 = 25 [17:08:24] What's going on with the hostages again? [17:08:58] One of them is invisible and struggling with his captor. The other is loose [17:09:23] Okay, Rusty has guests over. [17:09:26] * Eilenia nods [17:10:12] 1d20+4 [17:10:12] Charles rolls 1D20+4: 13 +4 = 17 [17:10:16] 1d20 [17:10:16] Charles rolls 1D20: 2 [17:12:57] 1d20+9 [17:12:57] Charles rolls 1D20+9: 12 +9 = 21 [17:12:57] 1d20+9 [17:12:58] Charles rolls 1D20+9: 10 +9 = 19 [17:13:12] 21 against Paera's dex, 19 against Eilenia [17:13:27] Oh that is (being) it. [17:13:47] That's not ranged, so it hits me by 1. [17:13:49] Eve is gonna Shadow of Colossus this thing. [17:14:16] I'm pretty sure that hits me but CB is still loading [17:14:36] What're people's passive perceptions? [17:14:58] 16 [17:16:18] Hahahahha "We're going to have you back on the Worst Players Ever edition, and you're going to go head to head with a chair and a bottle of water." [17:18:20] 17 and that hits my ref [17:18:41] 3d6 [17:18:41] Charles rolls 3D6: 3 4 5 = 12 [17:19:14] 12 damage each, and you're slowed and take five ongoing, save ends [17:19:24] Alright [17:19:27] Marching it on my sheet [17:19:27] My passive percetion is 15 [17:19:57] 5 ongoing what sorta damage? [17:19:59] I'm down to 16 HP [17:21:18] It's going to be fire, frost, lightning damage. [17:21:28] He just opened up a rift to the Elemental Chaos right under you. [17:24:38] yikes [17:24:58] Now we're gonna be demons. :( [17:25:06] + the demons [17:26:07] And then Elena was a zombie [17:26:38] Whose turn is next? [17:28:07] Oh, soul 2, then mine [17:29:34] Hm. I've got my at-wills and Grease. And Fey Step and phantasmal terrain [17:29:43] And an AP [17:29:48] Wait [17:29:57] I... I don't think that soul was free to do that. [17:30:08] ? [17:30:12] It had no movement-effecting conditions on it [17:30:14] I'm pretty sure I act between the two souls, and the first one had just entered the statue last session [17:30:34] So I'm pretty sure I should have gone before the remaining free soul [17:30:38] Soul 1 went into the statue, [17:30:40] Then Xan [17:30:52] Then the idol, then soul 2 [17:30:59] There's just one Cultist, yeah? [17:31:12] Oh, for the abyssal sore, is there any special movement concerning it? [17:31:43] Ah, okay [17:31:47] Got it [17:32:03] It counts as difficult terrain, and slows anyone who ends their turn in it [17:32:25] * Eilenia nods [17:32:47] And there's just one cultist near a hostage, yeah? [17:33:23] Yeah [17:33:51] Alright, Fey Step to get out of the zone [17:33:55] I get to move 5 [17:34:12] Thunderwaving cultist.

[17:35:02] Then I'll AP and... are thse black lines important? [17:35:14] No, but only the cultist is there anyway [17:35:35] The black lines are the edge of the plaza [17:35:56] Oh, I got the cultists and hostage's pogs confused [17:35:59] What does that mean for movement? [17:36:03] Wow [17:36:07] I wasn't connected [17:36:09] :downs: [17:36:11] Nothing rules-wise [17:36:19] Okay. [17:36:30] Does the statue appear mobile? [17:36:40] Like, can it walk? [17:37:17] Not yet [17:37:30] End turn for now, rolling save. [17:37:32] 1d20 [17:37:32] Eilenia rolls 1D20: 12 [17:37:34] Made it [17:37:37] I chose Two-Weapon Fighting as my replacement feat [17:37:41] So far, the head and left side of the upper torso is active. [17:37:46] Down to 11 HP [17:37:54] The right arm is holding a wand. [17:38:05] Oh, the ongoing is save ends [17:38:08] ...is it ruby? [17:38:25] Wait, thinking of Asmodeus [17:38:38] End turn. [17:41:41] 1st move action gets me 2 away from the statue [17:41:59] Second move action uses up 2 squares to get to the statue, and now I wanna make an athletics check to climb it. [17:42:46] Dec? [17:42:47] er [17:42:49] DC? [17:45:18] Imma just go ahead and roll athletics [17:45:22] 1d20+7 [17:45:22] Eve_Kasnora rolls 1D20+7: 6 +7 = 13 [17:46:19] Not good enough :( [17:47:00] I'll say you make it partway up his legs, but can't climb the torso [17:47:37] * Rusty (rustangel@ip-118-219.atvci.net) has joined #Exalted [17:47:40] Hey. :3 [17:47:41] * Rusty is now known as Xan [17:47:42] Oi.

[18:56:57] Athletics, I think [18:57:03] fuck [18:57:05] alright guys [18:57:14] lets roll that 20 [18:57:18] 1d20+7 [18:57:18] Eve_Kasnora rolls 1D20+7: 7 +7 = 14 [18:57:22] that is not a 20 [18:57:28] :downs: [18:58:05] We could try acrobatics, too, I guess. :saddowns: [18:58:17] 1d20+10 [18:58:17] Eve_Kasnora rolls 1D20+10: 8 +10 = 18 [18:58:30] dammit fuuko [18:58:44] can't give me above a 10 when I really need it can you? :smith: [18:59:05] 18 just barely does it [18:59:09] Is that 23 just the fallin- oh [18:59:12] awesome [18:59:21] This, however, is the falling. [18:59:23] 3d6 [18:59:24] Charles rolls 3D6: 2 3 3 = 8 [18:59:33] ...cough... falling is d10s now >_> [18:59:37] Oh. [18:59:40] 3d10 [18:59:40] Charles rolls 3D10: 10 4 7 = 21 [18:59:44] Welp. [18:59:48] not dead! [18:59:53] but I got it [19:00:08] 44 damage... [19:00:22] I'm at -11 [19:00:33] plus taking ongoing 5 [19:02:18] am I doing the roleplay for the grab? [19:02:51] I figured it was better than just saying "And she grabs it", yeah [19:02:56] okay cool [19:03:02] gonna incorporate the failed athletics [19:05:36] Has Eve ever been in negatives before? I think once during the fight against the nerathi orcs [19:06:04] Unsure [19:06:22] I don't think so [19:07:59] Man, so glad you don' die a -10 anymore. [19:08:07] :V [19:08:27] I think it's rather fitting that Eve's first brush with death was at the hands of an aspect of Orcus. [19:08:30] Yeah [19:08:48] Maybe she'll wake up a death knight or somehting [19:08:54] Or gay [19:09:20] Bastion of health [19:09:29] Sorry guys, whole ton of shit happened. company. [19:09:40] Eve gets to spend a surge and a bonus +5 healing [19:09:52] sa-WEET [19:10:35] Yon, is that +5 bonus from the power, or from Healing Lore? [19:10:57] Rusty: No prob. Eve saved the day :D [19:11:40] I'm not sure, the card is a bit unclear [19:12:09] What's going down? [19:12:14] I'm able to focus now [19:12:16] Ah, that's without lore [19:12:48] OKay cool, what's your wis bonus then? [19:12:59] Damn it, I can't find my copy of Savage Worlds [19:13:01] 4, plus 1 from items [19:13:19] Rusty: Eve went all Shadow of the Colossus on the awakening Orcus statue [19:13:26] This is more obnoxious than anything, since it only costs like $10 and I'd totally be able to pick up a new copy oon a whim, but still [19:13:31] The Ioun Stone we were looking for was enabling Orcus to possess it. [19:13:43] So Eve climbed to the top to try to get the stone. [19:14:26] The Orcus statue was slamming her about and crushing her, and finally wrenched her off itself and chucked her into a building, nearly killing her, but not before she snatched the stone away, ending its possession. [19:14:50] More cultists came out with hostages, trying to sacrifice them to the statue, but Elena has been knocking the cultists unconcious [19:16:26] Sorry I was of no assistance there. I've got four people over, wasn't anticipating that. [19:16:31] She met Anyss once, a month ago. :V [19:16:35] haha. [19:16:38] No problem [19:17:15] are we still in combat? [19:17:24] Nope [19:18:12] 1d20 [19:18:12] Eve_Kasnora rolls 1D20: 10 [19:18:24] only took 5 more damage from the blasphemy then [19:18:43] Which covers the Healing Lore addition [19:18:46] 1d20 [19:18:46] Paera rolls 1D20: 7 [19:19:01] Still got blasphemy all over me. :( [19:20:14] Heal check to try and grant you a saving throw! [19:20:17] before your next turn [19:20:20] 1d20+5 [19:20:20] Eve_Kasnora rolls 1D20+5: 16 +5 = 21 [19:20:49] You could use sacred flame on someone and grant yourself a save, if we were munchkins [19:21:30] That'd just give her two chances to save. By me trying to purge the taint from her with my church-taught healing skills, she can attempt another save before she takes more damage [19:21:51] Can't grant myself temp hp or saves from that [19:22:56] 1d20 [19:22:57] Paera rolls 1D20: 14 [19:23:15] Better! [19:26:54] ooooooh, can I roll something to guess? [19:27:41] Guess what? [19:28:44] Guess how to fix the planes [19:28:54] Oh, sure. [19:30:45] ARcana? [19:30:49] 1d20+14 [19:30:49] Eilenia rolls 1D20+14: 4 +14 = 18 [19:32:02] Arcana. [19:32:04] 1d20+9 [19:32:04] Paera rolls 1D20+9: 4 +9 = 13 [19:32:13] Man, how'd I skip insight? [19:32:14] Neither of you know what the fuck. :( [19:32:24] Oh well [19:32:35] Well, I'll try to roll insight anyway [19:32:44] 1d20+5 [19:32:45] Xan rolls 1D20+5: 14 +5 = 19 [19:33:01] insight is basically hte new Sense Motive, isn't it? [19:33:12] What're you trying to get out of insight? [19:33:51] Trying to understand this stone as an entity, how to bond and communicate with it. [19:35:09] Well, it's an artifact, so it probably has a degree of intelligence of its own. And it's from Ioun, so that's doubly true. But in terms of how to bond with it, that's harder. [19:35:35] * Eve_Kasnora nods. [19:35:45] Do we not get access to its condordance table? [19:35:56] Not yet [19:36:01] As you figure it out, I'll reveal it [19:36:04] Is Elena equipping it right? [19:36:05] I don't remember if the DMG talked about how much a player knows when it gets an artifact [19:36:22] I figure that with most artifacts, you get a history check or something [19:36:28] * Eve_Kasnora nods. [19:36:38] So you know the sword of Kas hates Vecna and all that [19:36:58] Heh [19:37:16] Man, Eve's gonna have a problem if the only way to destroy one evil artifact is to use another. [19:37:48] But with this, it's pretty new. Like, IIRC, it had actually been crafted after the fall of Nerath [19:38:03] So it's not like you have ancient legends to rely on [19:38:53] Not even the Legend of Stalvan? [19:39:20] Hahaha. That fucking questline. [19:40:56] Legend of Stalvan? [19:42:36] It's a *really* good questline in World of Warcraft, where you're trying to find out why this undead monstrocity is holed up in this noble family's manor, and it turns out that the monster was the tutor of a young girl who fell in love with her, and then, years later, killed the family and himself when she was engaged to another man. [19:42:50] The thing is, this all happens like two years before World of Warcraft starts [19:43:10] So while crazy shit is happening, talking about the Legend of Stalvan is like talking about the Legend of Dick Cheney [19:44:31] Hahaha [19:45:35] Maybe it means like a map legend [19:45:40] Maybe he taught her cartography [19:46:42] So we gotta break it again? [19:47:21] Well, the ritual allows a planar rearrangement. [19:47:23] Sort of like a broken arm that healed wrong. :V [19:47:38] So Elena could make it All Fey All The Time. [19:47:56] So, yeah, you gotta reshuffle it and put it back to normal. Unless you want to alter it like the priest of Ioun was trying to. Or another way/ [19:48:06] Yeah, I'll put it back to normal [19:48:14] Alter it like the priest of Ioun was trying to? [19:48:16] What was that again? [19:48:55] Whoops, by "Gotta", I meant that the planes have to be put out of order to rearrange them, not that you must normalize them [19:49:26] The priest was trying to create a situation where Ivorgard was siphoning off life from the Feywild and letting excess death fall into the Shadowfell [19:49:30] aah [19:49:53] http://www.lamebook.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/Badvertisements.png [19:50:11] The ritual can only be performed at the site of the temple, since that's a nexus of ley-lines, but the planes can be arranged however Eilenia wants. :| [19:50:19] haha [19:52:53] .... [19:53:01] crap [19:53:18] She's going to fey up the world. [19:54:02] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ck14LKBI9GM [19:54:12] What the hell [19:54:38] How the hell does this advertise juice? [19:54:54] Come Drink, My Lord. [19:55:05] hahhahahahaa [19:55:10] Refresh Discretely. [20:06:29] so did we fix the planes yet or no? [20:06:36] Nope [20:09:41] What sort of check is this? Religion or Arcana? [20:10:34] Both, I think [20:10:42] One of each [20:11:14] Does Eve have religion trained? [20:14:44] yes [20:14:50] but she's only at +7 with it [20:15:11] Eve's got a -1 int modifier [20:15:24] Good enough for an Aid Another. :| [20:15:41] Do we actually have to roll? I was asking about the ritual type mostly for flavor [20:15:41] Yeah [20:15:56] 1d20+7 aid another! [20:15:57] Eve_Kasnora rolls 1D20+7: 14 +7 = 21 [20:15:59] .... [20:16:00] Nah, you don't need to roll [20:16:01] :V [20:16:10] heh [20:16:22] And Aid Another is dicks-in-ears retarded, and I hope something fixes it soonish [20:17:02] Both because you literally can't fail after a certain point and because, like the 4e TGD forum thread's title now says, that barbarian can't help you read a book [20:17:15] haha [20:17:38] hahaha [20:17:57] What if he's Conan the Librarian? [20:18:23] haha [20:18:36] I read that as Conan the Libertarian. :( [20:18:40] I'm pretty sure he could help. :colbert: [20:19:06] That reminds me, I found a staff called a Gold Standard in Torchlight [20:19:18] And it made me sad that it was single-player [20:19:38] Because I really wanted to make an alchemist named Ronpaul who always weilded the Gold Standard [20:20:08] hahaha [20:21:36] hahahaha [20:24:15] I like how Eve is more scared of a pissed off Elena than a giant fuck-off death statue of Orcus. [20:24:46] haha [20:26:50] Hm. Okay, loads of Stema titles that aren't getting front page billing for some reason on the sale [20:26:55] Oddworld games are $1.87 each [20:27:06] BTW, Eve's last line was totally delivered with :smug: [20:27:51] fuck were we just in the Far Realm for a second?! [20:27:52] "You're left with the feeling that you only narrowly avoided the attention of something that is as far beyond yours" [20:27:57] That's what I was worried about. D: [20:28:10] yourselves as you are beyond drawings scratched on the walls of a goblin's hovel. [20:28:35] post to IC channel? [20:29:34] Huh. Wallace and Gromit is $10ish. [20:29:41] $10.19 [20:29:53] Oh we went to the Shadowfell temple? [20:30:17] Yeah. [20:31:08] Hahahah, I really like how that worked in narrative time [20:31:51] Like, not only does Xan not give a shit that he might have just briefly touched the Far Realm, but it took him maybe several hours to come up with a comeback [20:32:11] hahaha [20:32:12] http://store.steampowered.com/sub/2102/ Why can't the old Sam & Max be here? :( [20:32:14] hahahahaha [20:33:01] huh [20:33:10] Dark Sun 4e starts just after the freeing of Tyr [20:33:57] Yeah. A couple weeks [20:34:23] interesting [20:34:41] Apparently they liked the chaotic adventure-rich landscape of a Tyr mid-revolution [20:39:15] This is also why there was a gaunt just kind of chilling in the catacombs, in case anyone thought that was just me being all "Fuck it, I'll put a beholder in!" [20:39:29] Gauth, rather [20:40:15] ahaha, nice [20:47:05] I ahven't decided ifElena put things right or if she did what the priest was actually tryin gto do yet. :| [20:47:43] What was he trying to do? [20:48:43] Let excess death from the World go into the shadowfell and import a little life from the Feywild, I think? I'm not decidin gbecause I'm gonna want more info [20:50:03] To what end? [20:50:27] That was basically it, yeah. Sort of create a siphon between the planes to improve life in Ivorgard. Make people live longer and be stronger, crops grow faster, and so forth [20:50:44] * Eilenia nods [20:50:45] ah [20:51:04] Though that'd kinda make things a little worse on the other planes? [20:51:12] Well I'm sure Elena wouldn't really appreciate energy being siphoned out of the Feywild [21:02:06] Refuge Float, right? [21:02:16] Weeeeeeell, done going through every single item in the Steam store. This is all the stuff I found notable. http://docs.google.com/View?id=dd88vhbs_134chwm6mgr [21:02:41] Yep, same spot [21:03:32] Aaargh, I really want Blood Bowl, but that's so much [21:03:38] Hahahahah [21:03:59] AN APPARATUS YOU SAY? [21:04:04] Yeah, I really want Blood Bowl too. :( [21:04:07] But it's like, $4 off? [21:04:10] Why even have it on sale? [21:05:31] Yeah, $4 off [21:05:49] Hahahah, I love the note on FF11 [21:06:13] At $10, if a person had a job, it'd be a great prank gift. [21:06:35] That's mean, even for a prank. [21:06:41] HA HA HA HA HA HA HA would also be an appropriate note for FFX :| [21:06:52] * Paera snerks [21:07:18] hahaha, an apparatus [21:07:19] hahahha [21:07:25] How does Sending work again? [21:07:31] Didn't the Apparatus appear in Adventurer's Vault? [21:07:35] Yeah, it did [21:07:35] I dunno. :saddowns: [21:07:39] Yeah [21:08:04] It was notable largely in that, with the trample rules, it could just fuck up as many halflings as it could run over per round [21:08:14] I totally need to make you guys have an underwater goal in Xen'drik, just to foce Mari into building an Apparatus. :V:V:V [21:08:34] hahaha [21:09:13] Honestly, I was all excited over the chance to get you guys an apparatus for this. :V [21:09:14] So kind of like a scaled down Cthulhu. :V [21:09:35] hahaha [21:09:48] oh man, are we seriously getting an Apapratus? [21:09:55] Elena's MAKING one. [21:10:13] Like, I've known about the thing for as long as I've played DnD, but I've never had the opportunity to use one in a game. [21:10:20] Eve's Paladin-bot code is gonna go "UNDEAD IDENTIFIED" then totally laser the priest. :( [21:10:24] Aahahaha, this is awesome. [21:11:11] We've kind of had a thing for the Apparatus for a looooong time here. :V [21:11:26] Yeah. [21:11:34] Honestly, I'm half tempted to have an arbitrary encounter with a giant lobster on the way down, so you guys can have a Lobster Vs. Mechalobster fight [21:11:39] hahaha [21:11:44] hahahaha [21:11:48] we TOTALLY SHOULD [21:12:07] Can we all fit in the Apparatus? [21:12:16] Will Elena have to make Apparatii? [21:12:38] Maybe COMBINING apparatii! [21:13:23] http://www.lamebook.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/Badvertisements.png I REALLY want to meet that cat [21:13:24] I want drills on mine. [21:14:41] There's always a bigger lobster. [21:16:10] Wehttp://www.wetanz.com/updates/rayguns/rg_popup_750.php?image=23 I waaant. [21:17:19] That's right. It's been TWO DAYS since this arc started. [21:17:28] Hahahah chrsit [21:17:41] wait, three [21:17:48] we spent a night in the library [21:18:07] What's the anomaly? D: [21:18:19] Is it just a planar gate back to the prime material? [21:18:22] http://www.teachwithmovies.org/guides/longest-day-DVDcover.jpg [21:18:27] Yeah [21:19:25] I assume any World-natives are headed with us? [21:19:47] Didn't we already save Horbek's glory? [21:19:47] Yeah [21:20:18] Whoooo, fun. [21:20:35] nice [21:20:38] Fucking epic! [21:20:44] Wonderful session [21:20:45] I just realized, Eilenia gave Tabita the combination to the linked portal in the tower, but portals aren't cross-planar. [21:20:50] Yeah. [21:21:00] She'd have to cross the planes before she could do that [21:21:10] She'd have to get to the worldly Ivorgard, then portal over [21:21:12] She'll be contacting someone in the World to let the know the situation too [21:21:20] So she just gave her a combination to whatever kind of TERRIBLE SHITHOLE Odal's Fen is in the Shadowfell. :V [21:21:24] Then maybe the Feywild. [21:21:25] .... [21:21:28] HAHAHAHAHA [21:21:31] If it even has a portal. [21:21:38] Would that even work? [21:21:43] I don't think it would [21:21:46] I'd imagine that the sequence would be different [21:21:55] Yeah, that's probably fair [21:21:58] Since I think planar portal uses the same sequences? [21:22:09] Portals that worldfall, like the Sky Tower's, are probably a rare exception [21:22:16] * Eve_Kasnora nods. [21:22:23] Didn't think of that, yeah [21:22:40] Man, I hope that Elena gets that ritual rated Tolerable. :( [21:22:54] I mean, there waaaaaaaas that slight chance of Far Realm contamination [21:23:00] But that's the ritual's fault [21:23:13] * Eilenia is now known as Demota [21:23:52] Man, so here's the thing. I originally had more plans for Coldheart and the hag he was talking to, but the story got out of control. And now I kinda have to decide wether that's a plotline that'll continue in another campaign, or what. :saddowns: [21:24:07] haha [21:24:25] Always good to leave stuff for another campaign sometimes. It'll help ewave the setting together. [21:24:32] True [21:24:38] This is what I like about the shared world thing [21:24:43] We don't have to wrap up every single loose thread [21:25:00] It also makes the party delightfully out of sight, out of mind. :V [21:25:12] haha [21:25:29] Like, sure, some elf just smashed his head open as the final part of some weird ritual but OH HAY ORCUS! Alright we're done off we go [21:25:46] Maybe they can be quest-givers later. :| [21:25:54] Hahah [21:26:20] The Ioun Stone, when it leaves, is going to leave a golden exclamation mark over our heads [21:26:28] Well-met. [21:26:28] Honestly, though, it's one of those things where if you did persue it, I would have had to whomp up some weird shit [21:26:55] Charles, you mind updating the wiki and chronicle thingy about this? [21:26:58] I need to stat up the Planar Stone fully. I have some idea what it does, but I'm not sure what purposes it'll have outside this thing [21:27:01] It'd be good to have it easier to remember later [21:27:07] I'm fine with it ditching us early [21:27:09] I'm about to pass out [21:27:15] Oh, okay [21:27:21] Sorry I was mostly distracted tonight, guys [21:27:25] * Paera is now known as Yon [21:27:27] If you could upate it, I'll appreciate it [21:27:51] No problem. I felt bad that I didn't give Paera anything cool to do, but I guess you were busy anyways. :V [21:27:56] I guess I could ask you to do it tomorrow or something [21:28:07] I don't really know much about the hag or whatever [21:28:15] I guess that's analogous to doing it. [21:28:27] Neither do I, really. I had vague plans, but that's it [21:28:27] Yeah, guild suddenly went "HEY WE'RE DOING TOGC AND ICC 25 AND WE'RE SHORT ON HEALERS BECAUSE OF THE HOLIDAYS" [21:28:36] * Demota nods [21:28:55] Well, some kind of note on the wiki would be useful. I made a section about loose ends and potential plot threads [21:30:42] So, what's Eve gonna do while Elena's hammering out an Apparatus? [21:30:43] Or two [21:30:52] I'm guessing Paera's gonna hang out iwth mom [21:31:13] And Xan does... whateve rit is he does [21:31:25] Yon: Hey, you were right there with the level 6 cleric utility power I helped you choose to stop me from *dying* [21:31:30] You were there enough. :V [21:31:32] * Eve_Kasnora is now known as NovaSeaker [21:31:34] * ChanServ sets mode: +o NovaSeaker [21:32:37] I suppose Elena could hand the stone over to Anyss. [21:32:43] I thought Coldheart's sacrifice was connected to the planar instability, for some reason, and that when we fixed it, we fixed whatever he was going to do [21:34:02] I can't remmeber much from that section [21:34:32] I guess Elena could also hand Eve over to Anyss. I wonder what might be above Tolerable. [21:34:36] Acceptable? [21:34:48] Haha [21:35:08] Anyss isn't cute enough. [21:35:13] Awesome, apparently my new video card should be here by tomorrow alreaduy [21:35:19] cool [21:35:30] He isn't? :( [21:35:33] Nice [21:35:44] No. He's cold and detached. [21:35:45] ... oh. It'd be cool of we got metal from Horbek's Glory too [21:36:03] metal? [21:36:07] For the apparatus [21:36:14] I assume that assuming dwarves mine metal isn't being racist. [21:36:21] I think it might be [21:36:46] They're dwarves. They live in a mountain.
