Ghostwish:WELCOME TO HIGH SPEED AKELLON

Liatai::D

Meany:Eisen spotted on world map.

Meany:Tasher spotted on world map.

Meany:No LoLcean? :p

Ghostwish:Your troll detection powers suck. They've been there for ages.

Glitch has connected.

Liatai:Toookeeeeeens. XD

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">:D

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">I started running out as you can probably tell. XP

Tokens dropped onto map 'Yoriver - Coal Mine'Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">Imbalance detected. :p

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">This token says I've still got 22k gold.


 * Sszeyl fixes.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">tokens? Where? :B

Liatai:<font color="#000000">So many gold dragons. :B

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">XP

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">Maps, Tech

Glitch:<font color="#000000">...ah, #100? just finished loading. xD

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">But, yes, there was earnest trolling. Good luck finding it.

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">&gt;:)

<font color="#0000ff">Railock has connected.

</i>* Glitch preloads all the maps!

Liatai:<font color="#000000">There are a -lot- of new tokens on the Pelorite map, so let me know right away if you see X's.

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">Actually, all we can see right now is the room we're in.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">... I realized that after I typed it. ^^;

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">:3

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">I NINJA YOUR THOUGHTs.

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">I'll have a kor-peek though (good lord almost typed kor-pee wth)

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">Drag Kor through? ;3

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">Looks good!

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Any X's? Yay.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">I'll pop Rin in there so others can take a look.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">No X's so far

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Yay. We'll get the rest of the temple later. :3

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">So, tech developed any further on your plans for the gnome home?

Glitch:<font color="#000000">...huh?

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">What. |D

Glitch:<font color="#000000">why/what do you want to know about that? :B

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">Imma curious. :3

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">Also he's going to minecraft troll you.

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">What?? X{

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">Heard creepers into the construction yard.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">I don't play minecraft....

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">Lava.

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">That's so uncreative.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">oh. :B

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">I would put tripwires and TNT pressure plates everwhere.

<font color="#0000ff">VAE has connected.

</i>Glitch:<font color="#000000">Ghost; at any rate...not much new plotting on gnome home, really. Most of the pertinent details -still- aren't anywhere close to fruition, and Lia tends to balk and become mysteeeerious you-can't-predict-that-far-into-the-future-DM mode whenever I bring it up. :B

Glitch:<font color="#000000">So I kinda stopped until IC actually starts meeting up with the plans. :B

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">*snicker* Yeah, I hear ya. She goes all phantom dragon on ya, and hoards her plots. :3

VAE:<font color="#000000">eh, that makes sense

VAE:<font color="#000000">as Napoleon said, on the battlefield, plans change with every passing moment

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">Some american general said it better.

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;A plan never survives contact with the enemy.&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">:B

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Gonna make some lunch, be back in a few. :3

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;You assume I had a plan to start with.&quot;

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">We needz Hatariz.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">So.....yeah.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">No further plans on gnomehome at this time.

You whisper to VAE: If you want to start statting Igor and/or Miron, you can plop them on Yoriver - Livery Stable. :3

Glitch:<font color="#000000">I mean, aside from the gnomemini we ran.

You whisper to Ghostwish: If you want to start statting Sheythsanthi's token, you can plop him on any map. :3

VAE whispers: Miron should be statted, I mean, I left him at level 10, no?

Ghostwish whispers: oh right. :O Damn! What image had I picked out..

You whisper to VAE: I'm... not sure what level my saved token is. ^^;

Ghostwish whispers: ah, here it is.

VAE whispers:, Igor .. I'm moving on with the sheet though he could use a whole bunch of items.. He has *a* spell list, though I wonder how efficient will it be

You whisper to VAE: There's the one I had saved.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Any particular reason you asked, though? :.

VAE whispers: that does sound like level 9, uhg

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">Oh, i'd been having skirmishes with the plot dragoness, and I was curious how your attempts to steal her plot hoard was going. :3

Tokens dropped onto map 'Yoriver - Temple of Pelor'Meany:<font color="#CC0066">He has gone the path of the ninja.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Oh, yeah. I would very much like to steal some of that plot hoard. :B Or contribute to it, as it were...

Railock:<font color="#000000">how can he disrupt it with well laid trolling traps if he doesn't know the plans?

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">Which is why I suggested creepers and lava.

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">Put a hole in their defenses, get in, scout the area, let them rebuild, annoy.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">brb

Railock:<font color="#000000">you put preassure plates, that set off tnt in the cieling, that then has lava sources above that. blow the ceiling, kill the person who set off the trap, AND destroy their items, flood the path in a matter to prevent them from following

VAE:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d6+4 = 4 + 4 = 8&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

VAE whispers: OK Miron is up to daye

Tokens dropped onto map 'Yoriver - Livery Stable' You whisper to Ghostwish: Does Sheythsanthi wear his badge openly?

Ghostwish whispers: Yup!

Ghostwish whispers: crap, got distracted. XP

Ghostwish whispers: actually, changed my mind, he doesn't

You whisper to Ghostwish: Gonna copy-paste him next to the sanctioned summoner. :3

You whisper to VAE: Token saved. Do you mind if I paste Igor onto the temple map, next to Sheythsanthi and the sanctioned summoner? :3

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">Testing.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Yo.

You whisper to VAE: ... uh-oh. Did you move Igor?

Glitch:<font color="#000000">back

Glitch:<font color="#000000">SO! Today is game #100!

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Shall we jump right into charQs and start when our last stragglers filter in? :U

Liatai:<font color="#000000">... hey Ghost.

VAE whispers: the map isn't loaded yet

Liatai:<font color="#000000">I found your trolling. :B

GM:<font color="#000000">Let's! Today's question is...

GM:<font color="#000000">&quot;What does your character consider to be the most beautiful thing he's ever seen?&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">Ghost, you here?

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Heh heh. That's an easy one. :B

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">Sort of. Statting token.

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">The ocean on a sunny day.

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">And what did you find, GM? :3

VAE:<font color="#000000">I need a bit of a paw with Igor's equipment. What sort of stuff does Tathi have?

Edaric:<font color="#000000">.... hard question. &gt;:d

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">a real, true celestial ball of light. ;o;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">either that or whatever's the biggest, most deliciously complex contraption I ever saw back home. :B

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">Funny you should ask. Due to TangledWeb's issues, I lost all of Tathi's inventory. I couldn't tell ya. I was going to ask the GM for maybe gold per PC's level to reshop for Tathi and Aelian.

Anise Berilan:<font color="#000000">There was one time I watched the sunrise over Akellon from the top of one of the Drakespine Bridges. That was pretty awesome.

VAE whispers: the map is still loading

Liatai:<font color="#000000">... go ahead. ^^;

You whisper to VAE: It's a big map, I'm not surprised. ^^;

VAE:<font color="#000000">okay, it's there

GM:<font color="#000000">&quot;What does your character do for recreation?&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">Fold paper animals, or practice. It depends on how active I feel.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">As tinkers do, I tink. :B

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">First question; Rain. Second question; I wander lake and river beds.


 * Edaric holds up his lute. :3 &quot;Though people-watching is a great pastime, too.&quot;

Anise Berilan:<font color="#000000">Do you even need to ask?

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">She composes harpsicord music.

GM:<font color="#000000">&quot;Whom does your character live with?&quot; .... this question's way too easy to answer. :B

Igor Drechsler:<font color="#000000">&quot;Not that easy. My last bunk mate disappeared last week, and the one before him a month ago.&quot;

GM:<font color="#000000">&quot;What's the worst nightmare your character remembers ever having?&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">... no comment.

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">Being told 'Zilvudar will see you now.'

<font color="#0000ff">RAM has connected.

</i>Glitch:<font color="#000000">Ohey, tharsa Ram

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Now all we need is the Hatari

Edaric:<font color="#000000">I was in a tiny blank room, with no one around, no doors, and no sound. I couldn't even hear myself. That was... a really bad one, even though nothing really happened in it.

Igor Drechsler:<font color="#000000">&quot;I .. don't think you want to hear about it. Suffice to say it involved Katherine as an Erinye.&quot;

Ghostwish whispers: Okay, Shey' sdone! ;3

Anise Berilan:<font color="#000000">It was a dream I had once after some punk stuck me with a poisoned dagger that made me really weak. It was like that, but much worse. I couldn't even lift myself and the weight of my clothes off the ground, while there were a bunch of perps from all kinds of groups around killing off my comrades one by one. Brr.

GM:<font color="#000000">&quot;How does your character dress on a typical day?&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">... come to think of it I own a lot of green clothes. :.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">In my usual mechanics vest and leather-armor padding.

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">Black and white. Touches of purple.

Igor Drechsler:<font color="#000000">&quot;Mace uniform. I used to bother with a hat, too.&quot;

RAM:<font color="#990000">Ah, there we go. Loaded.

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">Few layers, easy things to move in... or depends on what I plan to do that day. Nothing tight or restrictive, though. The notion of ninjas wearing skintight bodysuits is ridiculous.

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">It is easier to sneak into a place dressed like the cleaning lady than it is to sneak in wearing a skintight bodysuit.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Hey, Swallowtail! I just invented this special alchemically-treated invisibility/sound-cancelling fabric material! But, it must tightly stick to the surface of whatever needs to be made stealthy...

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&gt;.&gt; xP

GM:<font color="#000000">&quot;To whom did your character give birthday presents last year, and what did he give them?&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">Hey that happened ingame! XP brb!

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">No one. Not allowed out of the monastery.

<font color="#0000ff">RAM is disconnected.

</i><font color="#0000ff">RAM is disconnected.

</i>Edaric:<font color="#000000">My family, and Aelian, of course! I got Aelian a field guide to magical creatures -- I wonder if he still has it. {:3

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">.... I miss home T.T But I cannot return until I have regained my honor.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Zuko!Swallowtail. &quot;HONOOOOOOOOOR!&quot;

Glitch:<font color="#000000">--dammit, you -still- need to watch that, don't you, Lia? &gt;:O

Anise Berilan:<font color="#000000">Everybody at the Castleton Mace, of course! Birthday parties are awesome excuses to let your hair down. And drink, of course. |D

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">Afk.

Anise Berilan:<font color="#000000">If all else fails, give food or booze. Though I gave Landon a nice set of kama on his last birthday. I think he's still trying to figure out how to use them. Heh.

Igor Drechsler:<font color="#000000">&quot;Eh. Last year is when the cow got its wings, so to say...even the bit of a stiff drink that used to happen in such occassions is pretty much a thing of the past.&quot;

Anise Berilan:<font color="#000000">... you don't... have booze during celebrations anymore?! D8

Tathi: <font color="#9933ff">(( back. :3 ))

Anise Berilan:<font color="#000000">All right, scrubs, we gotta kick these fiends' asses outta here posthaste, for the sake of the booze if nothing else! &gt;8O

Igor Drechsler:<font color="#000000">&quot;Not during work hours anymore&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">Did I say how much I love Anise already?

VAE:<font color="#000000">Did drop perchance?

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Nope.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">It's just quiet.

VAE:<font color="#000000">*Did I

GM:<font color="#000000">All right, we'll wait until 3:45, and then we'll kick off.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Yokeydoke

VAE:<font color="#000000">As an aside ,if Igor's animal companion will come in to play, it'll likely be in later sessions.. with a neck ache I don't feel like figuring the rules out, and equipping a wizard is hard enough already.

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">I live.

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">My debit card and student loan money came in. :&gt;

VAE:<font color="#000000">also Lia, how much gold should a Level 10 character have?

VAE:<font color="#000000">Sweet

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">Just need to take them by the bank.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Level 10... lemme get the DMG.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">49,000 GP.

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">$500 get!

VAE:<font color="#000000">Sweet!

VAE:<font color="#000000">Guys, what do you do to make a mage not have entirely pathetic AC

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">Bracers of Armor.


 * VAE ... last played a wizard what, two years ago?

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Dex boosts, amulet of natural armor, bracers of armor, ring of protection.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Right right

VAE:<font color="#000000">Bracers of armour I vaguely recall

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">Yeah, bracers of armor aren't compat with actual armor.

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">There is also an Ioun Stone.

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">Grants +1 insight bonus to AC.

<font color="#0000ff">Dr. Hatari has connected.

</i>Meany:<font color="#CC0066">Hatari incomming.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Yay, we has a doktor! :D

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Well well, thar he is. Right on time. :U

VAE:<font color="#000000">yep

GM:<font color="#000000">Kellons! Are you ready to rock? Let's get a roll call going!

Glitch:<font color="#000000">&#9835;'Ello there ladies and gentlemen! 'Ello there ladies and gents--you ready to rock?!rock?!

Glitch:<font color="#000000">&#9835;'Ello there ladies and gentlemen! 'Ello there ladies and gents--you ready to rock?! Are you ready to rock?!

Railock:<font color="#000000">doom

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">yo

GM:<font color="#000000">Ghost, Hatari, Ram? Just waiting on you three, since I see VAE typing.

* Ghostwish jerks awake. ^^;

Igor Drechsler:<font color="#000000">&quot;Rocks are for those who can't use better means. A well-placed rock to the head can beat a miscast spell though.&quot;

GM:<font color="#000000">... hmm, Ram disappeared from IRC, too. I think it's safe to assume either his net's out, or he fell back asleep. Or both.

GM:<font color="#000000">Oops, wrong token.

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">Ayup.

VAE:<font color="#000000">moment

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Pardon me, was in another room.

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">That explains the blood stains.

VAE:<font color="#000000">heheh

GM:<font color="#000000">So, let's see, where did we leave off last time...? Ah yes. The Guardians had just completed a long and somewhat dirty trek through an abandoned coal mine, and the adjoining caverns.

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">WE SHOULD GO BACK AND HEAD TO AWESOME CENTRAL.

* Ghostwish dies in the brick'splosion of '45.

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">No no no, Ghostwish.

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">That's so uncreative.

* Meany locks Ghostwish in a molasses vat.

GM:<font color="#000000">They encountered a group of patrolling fiends, avoided a few rust monsters, sparkle-ified a drow agent, and eventually found their way to a cavern guarded by a lantern archon, coming face-to-face with some of the &quot;black-cloaks&quot; they had sought. Surprisingly, it seems these masked and cloaked individuals have some connection to the church of Pelor! And possibly to the Mace, since one of them introduced himself as an inquisitor.

GM:<font color="#000000">We join the Guardians after they have climbed up out of the tunnels into a stone basement... It's about 11 AM o'pocketwatch, and once everyone's on Yoriver - Temple of Pelor... we can begin!

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Well. I suppose the only way to find out what happens next is to press forward.&quot;

Tokens dropped onto map 'Yoriver - Temple of Pelor'Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">Sszeyl does something unprecidented for adventurers.

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">And knocks on the door.

VAE whispers: That's a later token for Igor's companion, I'll store it on the Stable map for the moment

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Well, the black-cloaked Pelorite lady said to tell the templars we followed the lanterns, and they'll find us a place to stay.&quot;

* Dr. Hatari is here and finishing breakfast. {:3

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">I see that much of my trolling has gone yet unnoticed. &gt;:3

Liatai:<font color="#000000">&gt;:|

Liatai:<font color="#000000">What did you do.

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">And how would you see that, if you had joined as a player? :B

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">&gt;:3

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Ghost, stoppit. What did you do. :|

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">My secrets shall never be revealed to you, grasshopper. You must seek, and learn from the great troll. :3

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">&gt;:3

Glitch:<font color="#000000">you anger the DM-dragon.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">THIS IS A TERRIBLE IDEA.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">the DM-dragon has double the CR of any other dragon!

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Not in the mood, spectral one. What did you do. :|

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">Tech knows what I did. he's just playing along. :3

Meany: <font color="#CC0066">Troll Railock tomorrow. :v

Glitch:<font color="#000000">.....wait what

Glitch:<font color="#000000">no I don't!

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">&gt;:3

Snarky:<font color="#CC0066">Hmm.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">I don't! Really! Dx

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">Check your character notes you big sillies. XP

VAE:<font color="#000000">I', all for railock being trolled!

Glitch:<font color="#000000">...oh. Meh. :B

* Glitch erases

Snarky:<font color="#CC0066">Glitch, I'm going to remove myself from ownership of Snarkz until it's needed again.

GM:<font color="#000000">May we progress with the plot now?

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Oh! right, didn't realize that was still there, meany. Thanks

Snarky:<font color="#CC0066">Even though I'll take the time to tell you, Kor, that I love you with both of my hearts.

VAE:<font color="#000000">we may. THouhg, If there's going to be more fucktardery, I can stat out the animal companion in the time

Kor:<font color="#9933FF">I AM MARRIED TO MY JOB STOP CALLING ME

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">So, we open the door, and file through? (DM-move for simplicity?)

Kaduan Templar:<font color="#000000">The door opens up... to display two armed templars barring the way. &quot;Who are you?&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">Nope. Tathi cracks the do- or not

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;We followed the lanterns.&quot; Gnogglebolt says quickly.

Kaduan Templar:<font color="#000000">&quot;That doesn't answer the question, but fair enough. Come in. The four rooms to the north are open if you're looking for a place to rest. Just don't go through the northernmost door until someone's seen to you.&quot;

Blue-Haired Templar:<font color="#000000">The templars move aside.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh, right. Sorry, that's just what the lady below told us to say. We're the Vigilant Guardians.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;6d8+4 = 26 + 4 = 30&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;And noted, thank you very much.&quot;

GM:<font color="#000000">DM move is off; move as you will. :3

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt moves porward, passing a room of many Olidamarrans--and then he sees the next ball of light floating casually down the corridor, and his jaw drops again. &quot; Another one!&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot; Thomas, they've got more!&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus nods respectfully to the templars before slipping in last and letting the doors close.

Olidamarran Priest:<font color="#000000">The gaggle of people with entertainers' dress and symbols of the Laughing Rogue seem to be discussing something in the center of the group, but they do break off and give your group brief nods and waves of greeting before returning to it.

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">Wave.

VAE:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;2d8 = 9&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Dorf Aias:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Ah! Olid's! Ye folks forordinar ken whaur th' ale is! Hulp a dwarf out?&quot;

Anise Berilan:<font color="#000000">&quot;What're a bunch of Olidamarrans doing in the basement of Pelor's church...?&quot;

* Anise Berilan follows Dorf. |3

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">Sszeyl looks around, given the Archon a wide berth.

* Dr. Hatari goes through obligatory token admiration. *brick'd*

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Perhaps it's simply an alliance of convenience?&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus takes a few minutes to look around the temple.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt slowly approaches the second Lantern Archon, looking up at it with awe.

Ball of Light 4:<font color="#000000">The archon seems to be bobbing around the templar near it more than anything. &quot; Oh I do wish they would stop talking about such awful dishonorable things.'' Poison? Skulking around? Ambushes?'' &quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;Excuse me?&quot;

Olidamarran Black-Cloak:<font color="#000000">&quot;Sad to say drink's in short supply, my hirstute friend. Unless you're a fan of moonshine?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;I don't suppose you have anyone on hand who is good with geography?&quot;

Blue-Haired Templar:<font color="#000000">&quot;Geography?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;Yes, I am trying to locate a place.&quot;

Dorf Aias:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Depends. Does it git ye drunk?&quot;

Teeny Rin:<font color="#CC0066">And it burns years off your life.

Teeny Rin:<font color="#CC0066">So yes.

Teeny Rin:<font color="#FF0000">Number one cause of dwarven death: Desperation moonshine &gt;:O

VAE:<font color="#000000">hah, so I statted her in the meantime

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt seems hesitant to approach the ball of light, but manages to muster up some courage. &quot;Eh...Excuse me, Holy Light? If...it's okay of me to ask...how many of you are there around here?&quot;

Olidamarran Black-Cloak:<font color="#000000">&quot;If you can stomach it! If we could still get into the Bee and Flower, we'd have something better...&quot;

Blue-Haired Templar:<font color="#000000">&quot;I suppose you could check the temple archives, after you've been seen to... is it somewhere within Yoriver?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;I am afraid not. A distant place.&quot;

Ball of Light 4:<font color="#000000">The ball of light bobs closer to gnome eye level. &quot; -- Oh. How do you do? Who are you? &quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh, I'm...Gnogglebolt Sparkgear. From Mazio, with the Vigilant Guardians. We're...we're here to help with the problems in this city.&quot; Gnogglebolt says, reverently looking down as the celestial being takes notice of him.

* Thomas Lazarus seems satisfied with his look about the temple ((and the player has finished enough breakfast/gotten over enough sleepiness {|3)). He walks back to near the knight-errant.

Dorf Aias:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Well, ah will tak' a shot o' it, if ye'll huv me. Mibbie ah cuid hulp ye oot wi' something in return?&quot;

Ball of Light 4:<font color="#000000">&quot; I'm afraid I couldn't tell you exactly, Gnogglebolt Sparkgear from Mazio with the Vigilant Guardians. We come and go. &quot;

Olidamarran Priest:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hmmmm. Depends. Are you any good at infiltration, good sir dwarf?&quot;

Dorf Aias:<font color="#9933FF">The full-plated dwarf snorts, and makes an act of thinking. &quot;Infiltration. That's th' pairt whaur ye kick th' door doon 'n' gang in swinging right?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh, I see....if it's not wrong of me to ask, how do you get here? Do you come here on your own, or...or are you called here?&quot;

Olidamarran Priest:<font color="#000000">&quot;Ah well. We'll have to call it a little favor for the future, then.&quot; :3 A glass of some potent-smelling stuff is passed to Dorf.

Dorf Aias:<font color="#9933FF">DOWN DA HATCH without a fucking thought.

Ball of Light 4:<font color="#000000">&quot; A high priest long ago made a pact with us to help protect the people of this town from fiendish incursion. We are summoned whenever there is a need. &quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Thank you for providing shelter.&quot; He murmurs while casting one last glance about at the crowd and folding his arms. &quot; Lords above.. there are so many questions I don't know where to begin.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;I see...thank you, Holy Light. We'll do everything we can to help, too.&quot; Gnogglebolt bows respectfully and backs away.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..Perhaps as a start; do you know if the resident high priest is available to meet us?&quot;

Templar Knight-Errant:<font color="#000000">&quot;You'll have to speak with some of the guardians first, brother, if brother you be. You may have found you way here, but we can't just allow anyone up top who manages to stumble across the entrance. They should be along shortly.&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Hm, someone at the door

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">Get the shotgun.

Ball of Light 4:<font color="#000000">The archon returns to flitting around. &quot; Such skullduggery! Do they know nothing of honor? &quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt sidles up near Thomas, and nods at the knight-errant's words.

Dorf Aias:<font color="#9933FF">&#171; &#160;1d20+10 = 4 + 10 = 14&#160; <font color="#9933FF">&#187; Fortitude save!

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">Nope.jpg

Kaduan Templar:<font color="#000000">The guard changes near the door, and the two black-cloaked individuals you spoke to in the tunnels step through.

Pelorite Templar:<font color="#000000">&quot;Good, you're still here, and there's no blood. Consider your first test passed.&quot; The templar smiles.

* Thomas Lazarus smiles a bit nervously. &quot;...&quot;

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">ack, brb, doug barkin'

Pelorite Templar:<font color="#000000">&quot;Would you please follow us?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..That has been a problem..?&quot; He frowns.

* VAE wonders whether he should have Igor try to chat with the rest of the lot th ere in the meantime. Ah well, Ghost's BRB sort of answered that query

* Thomas Lazarus walks after the duo.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Certainly.&quot; Gnogglebolt says quickly. &quot;We have so many questions, as I'm sure you can guess.&quot;

Ansramil Hawkin:<font color="#000000">&quot;... ... can this whole group fit in there...?&quot; &gt;.&gt;;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt follows the lady into the bunkroom.

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">back. :3

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">He wedges himself between to beds.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">*Kool-Aids through wall &gt;:O*

Pelorite Templar:<font color="#000000">&quot;Take a seat wherever you like.&quot;

Anise Berilan:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oop, hey Dorf, I think that's our cue.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">Sszeyl remains standing.

Dorf Aias:<font color="#9933FF">The dwarf ambles in.

* Ansramil Hawkin enters the crowded room and closes the door behind himself, nodding to the templar.

* Pelorite Templar grasps the holy symbol around her neck. &quot;By the light of the Sun shall truth and falsehood be revealed.&quot; Please make a DC 15 Will save if you might want to lie.

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+7 = 5 + 7 = 12&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">Spell resistence? :3

Teeny Rin:<font color="#FF0000">HOW MUCH DO YOU WEIGH &gt;:O

Aelian:<font color="#9933FF">SWALLOWTAIL DOES THIS MAKE MY BUTT LOOK BIG.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt feels a strange tingling sensation...that he's felt before. &quot; Hey, this is what Cademon did once, isn't it?&quot;

Pelorite Templar:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+7 = 19 + 7 = 26&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; SR check!

* Thomas Lazarus lets the spell wash over him.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Probably.&quot;

Pelorite Templar:<font color="#000000">&quot;Just a simple truth spell. We can't afford to be too careful in these days, with the worlds' best liars on our doorstep.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt likewise makes no active effort to resist the magic.

* Thomas Lazarus frowns. &quot;...&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;I'd do the same in your position.&quot; Gnogglebolt nods approvingly.

Ansramil Hawkin:<font color="#000000">&quot;Now then. Who are you, why are you here, and how did you know to follow the lanterns?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">The spell takes a second to burn through to Sszeyl, but he doesn't fight it.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Please, ask anything you'd like, then. I can scarcely stand waiting on my hands when we're right here in the city and seeing more and more of how extreme the situation really is.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;We are the Vigilant Guardians. We're here because some allies of us are here, and because we're an adventuring group who's taken it upon ourselves to fight things like what's going on here.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;As for how we knew to follow the lanterns...&quot; Gnogglebolt pauses. It's clear he doesn't want to try to lie, but he is hesitating and thinking in advance about what to say all the same.

* Thomas Lazarus looks at the ceiling and searches his memories.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;We have a very reliable source who probably would rather remain anonymous who told us to look for the lanterns just before we set out from Castleton. Is that satisfactory?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Just say so, friend. We're in good company.&quot;

Ansramil Hawkin:<font color="#000000">&quot;... before you set out from Castleton? Who would know to follow the lanterns and be from Castleton?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Ummm...&quot; Gnogglebolt shuffles. &quot;Before I answer that, a question.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;It's a good question that we probably won't be able to satisfy unless you've heard of a fellow named Cal'tel.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;You already knew there's some devils mucking about in the tunnels below. Do you also know there's some drow down there, too?&quot;

Ansramil Hawkin:<font color="#000000">&quot;... Do you mean to tell me a Kaduan author's spy character told you to follow the templars' signs?&quot; =w=;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;....pardon?&quot; Gnogglebolt looks genuinely confused.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...Well.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus smirks a little. &quot;..Is that where that name is from? I've never heard of it.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">Quirked eyebrow. &quot;A what now?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">Sszeyl shifts his skin and hair.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Sounds like he took the name from a novel. fits him though.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;I'm afraid the source in quesion uses multiple aliases.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">Morphing into a rouh approximation of Cal'tel's appearance.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;We don't know our source's true identity, but he has been consistently reliable.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">rough*

Ansramil Hawkin:<font color="#000000">Disguise check, Sszeyl.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Random shapeshifting? =w=;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;He's involved in many things beyond our ken, and chooses to inform us of things that will aid us.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&#171; &#160;1d20+11 = 4 + 11 = 15&#160; <font color="#CC0066">&#187; Disguise boosted with hat of disguise.

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;Does this face look familiar?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Suffice to say, if you know there are drow in the tunnels below, our source is apparently allied with them.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Let's see. He also goes by Haron Silverthrush, in public company. But there's more, regardless.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...I hope you haven't been fighting them.&quot;

* Pelorite Templar is giggling a little.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...pardon, but, what's so funny?&quot;

Ansramil Hawkin:<font color="#000000">&quot;... no, the face doesn't look familiar. You were saying, brother?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;Oh well. Was worth a shot.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">Sszeyl grips his face, and rips it off, leaving the old man beneath, before casting aside the elf-face to dissolve into the air.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;We've heard about the situation in Yoriver for weeks. A strange surface Drow fellow in mithril plate, that curiously concerns himself with fighting against dictatorial regimes, originally told us about the problems facing the town.&quot; Thomas waits a moment, as though expecting that to sound preposterous. &quot;..And then our wood elf companion's father seems to have also joined the fray. We've been in contact with him via magic off and on. And my own sister has also arrived in the city to help him fight devils. I hear they've stirred up quite a lot of trouble for themselves.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;It was their clues that lead us to the coal tunnel. And our cryptic insider at Castleton who left the clue to 'follow the lightless lanterns'.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Mm. If I may make a small note, as it has just occured to me..&quot;

Pelorite Templar:<font color="#000000">&quot;It's just -- silly. One of the more creative excuses I've heard so far.&quot; ^^ &quot;You haven't heard about the Cal'tel novels? There's a whole series of them. They're popular in Kaduar. I think... a half-elf named Rauvadra... Soliana? She writes them.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus pauses after bearing all.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt nods at Thomas, approving of his summation.

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;While it is perfectly fine in given company, I might suggest we hide my family name and my relation to the current, wanted vigilante running around.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;--Ah. Good idea, Tathi.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus smirks a little. &quot;In the future, sure.&quot;

* Ansramil Hawkin raises an eyebrow. &quot;... The wood elven father's name, and your sister's?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I just wanted our situation to be completely out in the open. I'm pretty sure we're with the 'good guys'. That, or this is the most impressive illusion and deception of my devil-sensing sight I've ever imagined.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Tathi Eyllisaearsithek, daughter of Raeranael Eyllisaearsithek. Saesa omentien lle.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..My sister is Tomiko Lazarus.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt looks uncomfortable at the idea of this whole thing being an illusion, implausible as that is.

Ansramil Hawkin:<font color="#000000">Both templar and inquisitor look pretty shocked.

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">*Raernrael oops. XP

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">AUGH

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">TGUM. &gt;:|

Teeny Rin:<font color="#FF0000">RURAERAEREAREL

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">I keep just wanting to call him RAWR.

* Glitch high-fives Rin. |D

Pelorite Templar:<font color="#000000">&quot;... good lord. Are you serious?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;....I take it from your expressions that perhaps there's a reason you haven't made friendly contact with them by now.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus sweatdrops. ^^;

Ansramil Hawkin:<font color="#000000">&quot; Zone of Truth. &quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..Of course.&quot;

Pelorite Templar:<font color="#000000">&quot; I know, it just seems like an incredible stroke of luck, ill or good. &quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;They are our insiders I mentioned down in the tunnels.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;We've been in fairly regular contact with them.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;It's no stroke of luck. It's in large part because of Raerarael that we ever turned this way. And at my behest that Tomi arrived here, either.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Indeed.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;We're here, finally, to put a stop to this crisis.&quot; &gt;:|

Ansramil Hawkin:<font color="#000000">&quot;... if this had been a mere week or two ago, I would be taking you in for interrogation posthaste. But, things have changed. How much do you know?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;That too.&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">BRB, I have a flailing terrier kicking me ^^;;;;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...Precious little, unfortunately.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Mmm, from what we've heard, the local authority is rampant with demonic corruption. From there, it's all rumors and heresay.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;Devils everywhere, the Mace is compromised, Timmy is down in the well, and that the Count has gone mad.&quot;

Dorf Aias:<font color="#9933FF">The dwarf irratibly scratches at his beard.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Given that our insiders haven't been able to make contact with you directly. All we know is that they've been fighting fiends most days, and that there's probably corrupt Mace folks running amok. Everything else, as Tathi said, is hearsay. Things about the local Count taking control and having the mace in his pocket, and being the cause behind all this devil infestation.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;We know nothing else concrete.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;If you'll pardon me for saying, we're just here to fuck up some fiends.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus nods, looking a bit crestfallen. &quot;..Everything I have learned through scrying, hearsay, and correspondance, I have reported to my commander. And the Mace in turn conferred within itself and with local authorities. We're at the front of a major inquest just to learn the truth of what's happening around here. It's plain to see that lies are everywhere, and fiends fill the very skies at night.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus sighs. &quot;..The how or why remain utter mysteries. I've heard conflicting reports of who I can trust in the city from multiple sources. We know practically nothing.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">Brb.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Anything you can appraise us of would be... invaluable.&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">You know what would be super-awkward? If Renia were in the party for this scene. :B

VAE:<font color="#000000">And thus they get their heads packed with german turnip.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">hatari; how so?

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Because she was a deep-cover fiend. :B

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">That would've been an amusing party reaction. Suddenly, MAXIMUM CONFUSION. Init rolls! Pick your sides!

Glitch:<font color="#000000">...wait what

Glitch:<font color="#000000">What.

Gamal-Junayd: <font color="#0">(( its probably why she was so awesome ))

Liatai:<font color="#000000">XD

* Glitch recovers from brain-explosion enough to utter one word.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">How?!

</i> Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">We're in the middle of another scene, that story will wait. =w=

* Dr. Hatari is bricked.

* Glitch Wildy-bobbles Hatari! Raaaaagh! Dx

Ansramil Hawkin:<font color="#000000">&quot;... Right. Then it's only fair to appraise you of what's been happening. ... We are familiar with the pegasus-rider Altonor, and Raerarael Eyllisaearsithek, and Tomiko Lazarus, though we haven't been able to contact any of them as of late.&quot;

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Good point though. -3-

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;We were in contact with Tomiko and Raerarael just last night.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Know Altonor, do you?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;If that helps.&quot;

Ansramil Hawkin:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yoriver has always had minor fiend problems, but nothing like this. You are correct in that some members of the Leaden Mace are corrupt, and in that the count is undoubtedly at the bottom of this in some fashion.&quot; To Thomas; &quot;We should. Before things got this bad, he was in fairly regular contact with our commander. Our now-commander, as the ordained one has been compromised.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...Altonor, friends with a Mace officer? Now I've heard everything.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot; Oh man if only Miron were here. On second thought, no, good thing. -3- &quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">ahahah

Ansramil Hawkin:<font color="#000000">&quot;The Leaden Mace members you see here are the only ones left who have not been taken in by the lies of the authorities and the Hextorians. We are the Mace that remember our oaths to hunt corruption... even if it has taken root in our brothers and sisters.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus eyerolls. &quot; We're not all fanatical anti-Drow zealots. Braxton makes us look a lot worse than we really are, you know.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;I think its better for everyone Miron isn't here.&quot;

VAE whispers: Little did they know. . . But fair, he isn't *there*

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">:T

Anise Berilan:<font color="#000000">&quot;Pardon me, 'brother,' but this smells of bullshit to me. We heard the commander found Hextorians working in secret under his lieutenant.&quot; :|

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">Sszeyl gives disapproving looks.

* VAE hugs Anise

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">But goes back to standing.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;And if he had been compromised..wouldn't he seek to cast doubt on those who had not been?&quot;

Ansramil Hawkin:<font color="#000000">&quot;... so even with the gates closed, the cover-up story's been leaked? Not surprising.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">OOC check, am I hallucinating? I seem to recall something about some friend of ours telling us the lieutenant was who we needed to find.

* VAE delivers a stealth punch to Hawkin. Ever heard of magic? Hell, Ever heard of carrier pigeons.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Not hallucinating. :3

VAE:<font color="#000000">It was Altonor

Ansramil Hawkin:<font color="#000000">Hence why I said it wasn't surprising.

VAE:<font color="#000000">He's buddy with that heretic lieutenant of theirs.

* Thomas Lazarus glances aside. &quot;And if the commander is part of the corruption?&quot; He frowns. &quot;..Ashmore himself told me when we came out here to remain very vigilant. That when possession is involved, you cannot take anything for granted. Not even that our brothers are in the right. Not that the media is portraying the truth. Just what we can verify.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...Okay, Thomas, I can't remember who told us, but isn't the Lieutenant here the one we're supposed to find?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..And I can verify this temple is filled with celestials, a bastion against devils, and no evil souls are with us.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">&gt; Not that the media is portraying the truth The Akellon News Network is LIES!

Sszeyl whispers: Except you, of course.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;So yes, I am liable to believe what I am hearing more than assuming anything about who is a criminal and who is not.&quot;

Ansramil Hawkin:<font color="#000000">&quot;Be careful with regards to your holy sight, inquisitor. There are ways to decieve it, as our commander discovered.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;As it stands right now, the only people we can actually trust are the people we know. I'm sorry, but in this matter, the Leaden Mace is just anothe organization, just as vulnerable to corruption as any else. These are fiends we are dealing with, not just petty criminals. I'll trust family and family alone.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus sighs. &quot; I know.. I know.&quot;

You whisper to Meany: Vargie is still oddly quiet.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;So that leaves us with...no genuine foolproof method of determining falsehood around here?&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">hahaha

VAE:<font color="#000000">And now, tech's head asplodes

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;I'm not even going to cleverly understate here. Given the situation, that sounds downright catastrophic to me.&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Gnogglebolt: &quot;...Okay, Thomas, I can't remember who told us, but isn't the Lieutenant here the one we're supposed to find?&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">It was Altonor that said that, I believe.

Pelorite Templar:<font color="#000000">&quot;Catastrophic is an understatement.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">i said it already

VAE:<font color="#000000">it was Altonor

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Ah, thank you for further illustrating the gravity of the situation.&quot; Gnogglebolt looks grim.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Yeah but you spin everything even while OOC so we ignore you. :P *bricked*

Glitch:<font color="#000000">I heard you guys OOC about Altonor, but I'm pulling a Hatari here.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">I forgot, so Gnogglebolt forgot. :B

VAE:<font color="#000000">You know. If this was 40k, someone'd have declared exterminatus on this town approximately four months ago.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Just checking~

Pelorite Templar:<font color="#000000">&quot;When the fiends started appearing, the count started training summoners to combat them. Now, those very summoners bring more devils into this thrall, playing on the ignorance of others to pass diabolists as malconvokers, and devils as angels.&quot;

Pelorite Templar:<font color="#000000">&quot;When the fiend problems only got worse, to deflect the blame, Montclare cast suspicion on outsiders and travellers... an easy thing to do in Yoriver, sadly.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;And what we have here is a case-study in the dangers of picking your enemy to use as pawns to fight themselves.&quot;

Ansramil Hawkin:<font color="#000000">&quot;Even more so given three of the strongest foes of the devils we had were outsiders; those three you mentioned.&quot;

Glitch:<font color="#000000">wow

Glitch:<font color="#000000">I thought &quot;Outsider&quot; the creature type for a moment

* Thomas Lazarus sighs wearily as the quagmire worsens. &quot;...&quot;

Glitch:<font color="#000000">and was going &quot;Wait, what? Who said anything about extraplanar help aside from the lantern archons?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hmm.&quot;

Pelorite Templar:<font color="#000000">&quot;When that 'failed to stem the tide,' the inquest began on those 'rebel churches' that had both the power to summon and a rebellious streak.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Shall I inferr then that we have permission to bring in at least two of those three previously mentioned to tie an alliance and share intelligence with you?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;No wonder we've been getting so many mixed signals, then..&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Or am I getting ahead of things?&quot;

Pelorite Templar:<font color="#000000">&quot;You saw the Olidamarrans outside?&quot;

Dorf Aias:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Och.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Ah, yes, saw the Olidamarrans--aha, I see where that's going.&quot;

Pelorite Templar:<font color="#000000">&quot;They're about half of what's left free and alive after their temple underneath a local tavern was raided.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;The crackdown. We heard even an Olidamarran Talespinner bard exchange was shut down.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...Oh dear.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus dons a bitter look.

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot; Take out the Talespinners, and the control over what's being said gets stronger. The bastard. &quot; &gt;:|

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;The other half...are more of them alive and imprisoned, or free but dead?&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;They raided a temple!?&quot;

Pelorite Templar:<font color="#000000">&quot;Not only that, but we have no idea where the Kordites have gone, either. We've been searching -- the Olidamarrans have been helping -- but no luck. You'd think they'd be easy to find...&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...Kordites?&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">THey exploded.

Pelorite Templar:<font color="#000000">&quot;Corellon's people... well, I'm certain you know how your father got involved, ma'am.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;True fiends do not falter at the threshold of temples. They do not flinch in the face of holy effigies. They would storm any temple they knew of not stocked to the brim with templars and active wards,&quot; Tom recounts with a stony look.

Ansramil Hawkin:<font color="#000000">&quot;Some are alive but imprisoned. Many are dead. Some are scouring the Underdark and the streets along with the templars and whoever else is willing to help tend to the sick and needy. They've been some of our best sources of information.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">Player forgot. ^^;

Pelorite Templar:<font color="#000000">Psst, you may remember the count mounting a land grab against the local wood elves... ;3

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Raerarael got involved becausse Yoriver encroached on the nearest forest?

VAE:<font color="#000000">yes

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">I will not hit my macro I will not hit my macro-ACHOO

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">Wait, what? Who is that? What is that? I don't remember this. Did the DM explain that? Is that part of our objectives?

Tathi: <font color="#9933ff">(( *runs* ))

* Dr. Hatari fires tomahawk brick.

* Glitch smacks Ghost. &quot;Even I remember!&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">Hence, Miron has zero trust in him - he's got an agenda against the town, be it corrupted or not

Pelorite Templar:<font color="#000000">&quot;As it stands, we're one of the few true bastions left against the fiend invasion.&quot;

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">No one is giving you awards for OCD tech, hush.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;....How long until you think the Count gets bold enough to come after you?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..To the best of your awareness, then..&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Hrmph. Quite. This Count needs to be dealt with, preferably harshly.&quot;

Pelorite Templar:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hopefully, he never does... but it's hard to tell.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..This started with Montclaire, then? Or atleast his circle of summoners?&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;If your the last bastion...it's only a matter of time I'd say.&quot;

Pelorite Templar:<font color="#000000">&quot;You'll want to stay out of sight of any agents of the count -- if you're absolutely sure you want to risk it, some of the Olidamarrans might be able to forge you papers.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;That remains to be seen, Tathi.&quot; He frowns. &quot;He is exactly the type of person they aim for.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Miss, if you'll pardon me for being so forthright, the Count has been using fiends to tighten his grip on this town while trying to cut off any aid from the devils' true enemies. You have celestials floating around this temple right now. It's only a matter of time.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;From everything I've heard thus far, he's going to come here if we don't go to him first.&quot;

Ansramil Hawkin:<font color="#000000">&quot;Even if it didn't start with him, it's definitely him now. He directly sponsors diabolists, passing them off as malconvokers summoning 'angels of justice.' &quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">The old man raises a hand.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I see.&quot; He closes his eyes.

VAE:<font color="#000000">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ZNEjuXrfds

VAE:<font color="#000000">Possible Yoriver theme

VAE:<font color="#000000">at least, for the town's side of it.

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;So now it's just basically a question of what has possessed the Count..&quot; Tathi remarks dryly.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">The first 20 seconds of this youtube are a recording of a loading screen?! =w=;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;If he's been possessed. He might be, he might not be.&quot;

* Dr. Hatari bricks uploader.

VAE:<font color="#000000">sadly, yes

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;At this point, I'd be surprised of the fiends if he hadn't been.&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Well. This all begs the question, what next? What do we do now?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Regardless of whether whose soul is or isn't innocent, we know the source now.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;May I propose an answer to Aelian's question?&quot; Gnogglebolt holds up a hand.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;We can shut off the source of the fiends. How is a very good question.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;Tathi, would you be willing to spend some time teleporting, or scry/messaging people to organize are more...forceful offensive?&quot; The old man's eyes narrow to white slits. &quot;Perhaps the larger churches in the south, or other adventuring troupes.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Templars, may we try to contact Tomiko and Raerarael and see if they can come meet us now? We had already planned to meet them here, tonight, but that was before we learned what we now know.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;I do wonder where that Rin witch is at the moment...&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;That is something immediately actionable, and may yield yet more intelligence if we corroborate.&quot;

Ansramil Hawkin:<font color="#000000">&quot;Right now, our priority is gathering our scattered forces. If we can find the Kordites, Altonor, Eyllisaearsithek, and Lazarus...&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Tathi can't teleport that kind of volume of people.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">It'd take a week. ^^;

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">No, but she can port in, get the people organized, and possibly teleport back with other teleport able wizards.

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;That's an abstract solution at best, Sszeyl. I suggest we work with what we have here.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt nods as Ansramil seems to have the same idea. &quot;Well then.&quot;

Ansramil Hawkin:<font color="#000000">&quot;The Olidamarrans are seeking to free some of their number who are imprisoned, if you're feeling like directly breaking the law...&quot; =w=;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Tathi? Thomas? I believe both of you are capable of of that Sending magic...&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Or we could organize our scattered and untapped forces here that are actually invested in the conflict already. :B

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;No, just Thomas. I never had interest in such a silly spell.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Can either of you try and contact your respective family members and try to get them to come here as soon as possible?&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus nods.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Laws that are unjust, are not laws at all, and beg to be broken.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh. Thomas then.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Can you do that now, friend?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Tell them to make their way to this temple as soon as they possibly can, we have learned invaluable information.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I can.. yes. But it's broad daylight and they're the most wanted people in the city.&quot; &gt;.&gt;;

Dorf Aias:<font color="#9933FF">The dwarf just quietly watches the going ons, occasionally grumbling to himself.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...hmm...&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Templars!&quot;: Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Can your Olidamarrans help with this little conundrum?&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Aren't we meeting them here anyway?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Can we give a different secluded location elsewhere in the city where the Olidamarrans can meet up with them, and bring them here?&quot;

Ansramil Hawkin:<font color="#000000">&quot; I'm not a templar, I'm an Inquisitor. &quot; =3=; *brick'd*

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...Oh, right, my bad, sir inquisitor.&quot;

Pelorite Templar:<font color="#000000">&quot;When were you planning to meet with them?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">I'm an everything! \o/

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;We were planning to meet them at dusk tonight.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Correct. So, why are we trying to call them?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Given what we've just learned, it may be prudent to speed things along, especiallly with, as you said, gathering our allies is our immediate priority.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus is presently in deep thought. &quot;...&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">*Gnogglebolt says to the inquisitor

Pelorite Templar:<font color="#000000">&quot;It would be a safer use of resources just to wait, then. The Olidamarrans are pretty much all tied up in planning, scouting, or protecting the black cloaks. It would be at least sundown before they could track down your friends.&quot; ^^;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Not prudent. As Thomas as said, it's broad daylight. It's not safe for wanted individuals to be moving about, especially not those as distinctive as my father and Thomas' sister.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...Very well then. Waiting until tonight it is.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;There are just two of them.&quot; He frowns and looks up. &quot;Sir Hawken.. right?&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot; Have you seen her? She looks like she could haul Thomas in full armor like he's a sack of potatoes.. &quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;How many of your brothers and sisters can you vouch for?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..Are all the Mace left in good public standing part of Montclaire's plot?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;If we can coordinate with the Mace holdouts and clergies left in hiding, we'll have the small army we need to overthrow the keep and sieze Montclaire and his diabolists.&quot;

Ansramil Hawkin:<font color="#000000">&quot;Commander Stanford, myself, and nine others. ... They may not be a part of his plot, but they have bought into his lies even if they hadn't. It would be best to avoid Mace casualties. Every Mace agent injured or killed fighting the 'renegades' is just more fuel for Montclair's media machine, if nothing else.&quot;

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">as I'm working on DF in another window, which botches up the autosave, I will be saving this campaign periodically. It'll be a painless and quick procedure SO BATTON DOWN BUCKLE UP AND GET READY CUZ IMMA SAVIN'

VAE:<font color="#000000">Mace officer, not agent, btw

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">They both work, really.

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">Same thing.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">For the purposes of everyday english vernacular, anyways.

Ansramil Hawkin:<font color="#000000">&quot;... the Hextorian commander, though... he must be brought to justice. Whether possessed or acting under his own power, discovering the truth about him is the only way we can clear our public names.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">Not really. An officer is someone who, well, holds a public office. Eh.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Too bad we couldn't convert the media machine. It would hurt him badly if it suddenly started sending out the truth.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Wait, who's the Hextorian commander, and who's this Commander Stanford?&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;... we could, if the Talespinners were still open...&quot; &gt;:d

VAE:<font color="#000000">I'm just complaining since someone there would prob'ly not call himself an agent, if anything Eh.

VAE:<font color="#000000">hahah

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">It's a police thing. We call each and every policeman an 'officer'.

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">And an agent is someone ordained by the powers that be for particular missions, and thus outranks an officer. The Leaden Mace would technically be agents, then.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Now I'm imagining Count Montclare with a giant media machine full of cogs and ink

* Thomas Lazarus nods.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Eh. They *can* be agents, but most of them work as officers.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Like.. you lot are agents, sent by Ashmore

VAE:<font color="#000000">Igor and Sheythshanti are officers

Ansramil Hawkin:<font color="#000000">&quot;The current ordained commander of the Leaden Mace, Commander Charles Whitaker, is a Hextorite. Unfortunately, the commanders' maces test only against one's sense of duty and order, not against one's morality.&quot;

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">Now here's a question.

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">Not from what I've seen. That'd be the town guard. They're officers.

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">Is the Mace a National, Provencial, or Local organization?

VAE:<font color="#000000">National.

Ansramil Hawkin:<font color="#000000">&quot;Our Commander, the former Lieutenant Commander and acting commander as the ordained one has been compromised, is Roy Stanford.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">Through the hierarchy, the individual branches respond to the Council of High Commanders that exists for the whole nation

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">That means they have low manpower, and authority to recruit support from provencial and local locations. But that they also have to be put to threats on the national level.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Got it.&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">None of the technicalities matter in everyday speech, though, because 'folk' routinely get them wrong. You don't wander into the deep south and go about stating, &quot;Ain't is not a word, sir. =3=&quot; *bricked*

VAE:<font color="#000000">Yeah

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;... are there any other Talespinners in the city that haven't been shut down?&quot;

Pelorite Templar:<font color="#000000">&quot;Not that I know of. You'd be better off asking an Olidamarran.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">I just find it odd that they'd call themselves agents, that all. Besides Miron's copious use of &quot;folk&quot; they'd probably be referred to as officers

Aelian:<font color="#9933FF">Aelian glances at Edaric. &quot;I'd be surprised at the Count if there wasn't.. Really, what better way to start winning a war than cutting out their communications and morale..&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">(as in the sentence &quot;Fellow Mace folk&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Goddamnit quit being a distraction &gt;:P

VAE:<font color="#000000">:3

VAE:<font color="#000000">I have nothing else to do! :3

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;So...&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;I guess with nothing else to do, we wait here until nightfall for our allies to come?&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Mm...&quot; :/c &quot;If only he'd overlooked one, though. It'd be a great way to start winning more support.&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Maybe it would be worth our while to search for one?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;We shouldn't risk going outside in a pack, as you mentioned earlier, none of us have papers and even a forgery might not work.&quot;

Pelorite Templar:<font color="#000000">&quot;You may. You're free to move around the temple, but I'd be careful about leaving the grounds unless you had forged papers.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Plus, I'm absolutely sure we stick out light the outsiders we are.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">*like the

Dorf Aias:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Right noo, anythin' that micht impede th' fiends wid be worth oor while.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Why don't we talk with oldimarans, see if we can help with freeing some of the talespinners. some of us might be of use in that at least.&quot; he glances over at the heavy armor people

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Alright then. Vigilant Guardians, listen up. Just to be absolutely clear on this, because I know how some of you like to slip off on your own--&quot; Gnogglebolt glances at Sszeyl, &quot;No one should leave this temple without informing Thomas or myself at the least. Can we agree on that?&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yes.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Sounds fair.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus nods absently. &quot;..We just need to find all our allies, and come together in a unified resistance. They would know what's what, at the very least.&quot;

Anise Berilan:<font color="#000000">&quot;I think I'll be sticking around here for a while. Sounds like you folks could use some extra muscle belowground.&quot;

Anise Berilan:<font color="#000000">&quot;Whaddya say, Dorf? Think they might have a black cloak big enough for your beard?&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus knits his brow and nods. &quot;..An Erinyes got away from us. They were perilously close to your tunnel entrance.&quot;

Dorf Aias:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;There is ne'er a cloak muckle enough fur mah beard.&quot; The dwarf says, grinning.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;--Oh yes, there was that.&quot; Gnogglebolt looks slightly worried as Thomas brings that up.

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">And then a Greater Demon broke down the wall to the underground.

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">Init!

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">*brick*

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">That does it. I am inventing a custom fireball that explodes into bricks. &gt;:|

Teeny Rin:<font color="#FF0000">A demon would veer straight off and start fighting the diabolists, technically. =3= *bricked away*

Grizzled One-Legged Smith:<font color="#000000">Knock knock knock. A gruff voice growls through the door; &quot;Hawkin, the demon-man's back. Says he's got news.&quot;

Ansramil Hawkin:<font color="#000000">&quot;-- Excuse me.&quot; The inquisitor departs.

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">Tathi looks on curiously. &quot;Demon-man?&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus raises a brow at the other Pelorite. &quot;...'Demon' man?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...Demon-man?&quot;

Teeny Rin:<font color="#FF0000">Said the entire party.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Everyone said that in unison. :U

VAE:<font color="#000000">DEMOMAN!

Dorf Aias:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Jinx!&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">He's scottish

VAE:<font color="#000000">With grenades

VAE:<font color="#000000">and an attitude

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Oh my god.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">HIVEMIND.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I pray this is reference to an unfortunate bloodline alone.&quot;

* Pelorite Templar wrinkles her nose. &quot;Those Leaden Mace officers... They're great allies, but some of them have downright heretical powers. I've seen a necromancer... and one of their strongest is a true malconvoker. We hope. They all vouch for him, but I'll never be able to fully trust a demon-summoner.&quot; :/

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Ah.&quot; He sobers. &quot;..So I've also heard.&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#9933FF">Aelian sighs. &quot;Miron would go on and on about how fighting fire with fire is always the right way to go.. But frankly? All I see is a lot of people getting burned.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;....I think, neither will eye.&quot; Gnogglebolt's face hardends and he rests a hand on the hilt of his weapons.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">...I.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">I, not eye. Wtf.

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">HE'S MONOCULUS;.

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">GET HIM.

Aelian: <font color="#9933ff">(( wow tech that sentence seriously fucked with my head. XD ))

GM:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt are you a beholder. *brick'd*

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Now is the worst time to become picky about who's willing to help, regardless.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">Sszeyl shrugs.

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;Reserve your trust however you wish.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;Are we done?&quot;

Pelorite Templar:<font color="#000000">&quot;-- Anyway, you're free to walk the grounds. You're trustworthy enough. If you feel like helping out at all to pass the time, feel free to ask any templar or priest.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Thank you. Truly.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus heads out.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;....Actually, wait! I do have a question!&quot; Gnogglebolt heads out the door after the lady.

Pelorite Templar:<font color="#000000">&quot;Thank you. Even if you did come here from a spy novel, your help's appreciated.&quot;

Dorf Aias:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;I say we gang hulp thaim rogue folk!&quot; The dwarf announces.

* Thomas Lazarus smirks. &quot;..I'll reconsider which name I drop from now on..&quot;

Sszeyl: <font color="#CC0066">&quot;Just know I'm going to regret this.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">Miron: If you come with a knife to a knifefight, someone'll get hurt. If you come with an erinyes, someone will soil their pants.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Afk 2 minutes.

Aelian:<font color="#9933FF">Aelian glances back. &quot;What do you think, Edaric?&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Needa wake up more.

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;Excuse me, sir and globe.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt catches up with her. &quot;Given the situation of the count's intelligent and systematic strangling of any resources that can be used against him, I think I can imagine the answer to this question, already, but...&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Ed, want to help the olidmiarrans free the other bards?&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;I think... if I can be crude for a minute, this is quite the clusterfuck. ... But hey, we're here, we can help make it better, right?&quot; :3

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;If not better, then at least bigger no doubt.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Such language! Your mother will hear of this, I assure you.&quot; :3

VAE:<font color="#000000">Gamal is getting a nom for this

Templar Knight-Errant:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yes?&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">remind me, Railock

Aelian:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Really Tathi? We're surrounded by fiends, and now you're bringing his mother's wrath into this? Why not light him on fire?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt fidgets and looks around slightly. &quot;Do you have a store of ritual scrolls of Thomas's brand of god-inspired magic around, or have they been taken or used up, or have you been using them as fast as you make them?&quot; Gnogglebolt says to the pelorite lady.

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;I could, actually.&quot; &gt;:3

* Edaric chuckles, and holds up his hands. &quot;I'd rather you didn't if it's all the same to you.&quot; :B

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;Are either of you familiar with the paladin Salishea?&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;What, tell your mother or set you on fire?&quot; Aelian asks with a smirk.

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;I'd be lying if I said I didn't want to help those people in the prisons... but we should get in touch with our friends first. Plan a little.&quot;

Pelorite Templar:<font color="#000000">&quot;Mostly medical scrolls... what are you looking for?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Incidentally, the very kind of scroll that the Count most likely fears and has done his best to stamp out.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Well, we can't contact our friends yet. we could at least see if theres any plans that could use some help int eh meantime. If we can do somethign to make it better besides wait, I would feel better about things.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;A ritual of some kind of...semi-permanent calling of otherwordly aid?&quot;

Templar Knight-Errant:<font color="#000000">&quot;Not very,&quot; says the knight, but the light grows a little brighter for a moment.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;One with a decent-strength beacon?&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Right, let's just keep our eyes open.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">Ow.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;If waiting is all we can do, so be it, but if there are things to be done...I'd rather be doing them. And a jail-break sounds like an interesting thing to be done.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">My eyes.

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">And my innate desire to be Evil.

Ball of Light 4:<font color="#000000">&quot; A knight of Bahamut -- one of the strongest on this plane. &quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Thomas says he can only perform a ritual with a weak beacon, but he said me might be able to use a ritual scroll with a stronger one.&quot;

Pelorite Templar:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh.&quot; The templar wrinkles her nose. &quot;You'd be better off asking the malconvoker about that, as much as I hate to say it. Ugh. &quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;Somehow I knew you would know her, globe of light. But apparently she is famous, so I tried with you as well, sir knight. In any event, I'm wondering if you know her exploits in any detail?&quot;

Ball of Light 4:<font color="#000000">&quot; No sir... er... have you spoken with an exorcist lately? &quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">haha

VAE:<font color="#000000">Someone is emulating OOtS

VAE:<font color="#000000">Reminds me of the Thor's call center

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;So, ed, come with me to talk to the olidmarrans, or gonna just wait here?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;Yes, consulted the paladin herself recently in fact.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt groans as well. &quot;Well...I certainly wasn't expecting that.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;Then I don't suppose either of you know the world well enough to know of particularl impossibly tall structures?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot; I really don't want to ask him, but if I have no other choice...&quot;

VAE whispers: As an aside, a very aside. Remember, a Mace commander has an Axiomatic heavy mace in the shape of a fist as a badge of office (and personal weapon)

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt shudders. &quot;Thank you for your help, anyway.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">He wanders off to find Thomas.&quot;

You whisper to VAE: I know. Where do you think the idea for the commander came from? ;3

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">er, minus that &quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">He's just outside. And not narcoleptic anymore since I'm back from shaving. \o/

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;I'm halfway tempted to check out the rest of the temple first... if just to get a feel for our battleground if it comes to it.&quot; ^^; &quot;Want to come?&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;I guess, knowing our place we will be battling is useful&quot;

Ball of Light 4:<font color="#000000">&quot; Nothing in this world to compare with the celestial mountain. &quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;That was my first plan too, Ed. I just want to see the people, though.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;The whatnow?&quot;

Gamal-Junayd whispers: and because I think your wanting me to not split up the party by only a few helping olidmarans

VAE whispers: I was just making sure that he won't swing a chair, if they'll be ever forced to fight him. Besides it's a .. thing of morale, too. I mean, these things are mostly my plotting, and when you're in minkmode mapping ,it's possible, even easy to forget and mess up. At least that's what I tend to do, you're a better GM than me anyways.

Ball of Light 4:<font color="#000000">&quot; Our home on Celestia is a great mountain that rises from a sea of deepest azure, where great good creatures of the multiverse play. &quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;We'll come, Edaric!&quot;

VAE whispers: - Morale - it's a symbol of his office, besides, someone chaotic wouldn't be able to touch it without visible restraint. All of it sort of .. goes to prove the commander's legitimacy

* Edaric nods. :3

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">Sszeyl produces the painting from before, of Salishea and the portal and stuff.

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;How does this structure compare?&quot;

* Sszeyl points to it in the background.

Ball of Light 4:<font color="#000000">&quot; I cannot tell. It is too unclear. &quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;Drats.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;Thank you for entertaining my questions.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;I guess I'll come along well, would be good to get used to this place.&quot; Gnogglebolt goes along with Ed, Thomas, Gamal, and Tathigang.

Ball of Light 4:<font color="#000000">&quot; You're welcome. If I can be of any greater help, please let me know. &quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">A ninja follows.

* Thomas Lazarus approaches the northernmost door, but asks the templars first;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;May we go to the ground floor?&quot;

Lightly-Armored Templar:<font color="#000000">&quot;You may.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus nods and heads up.

Ball of Light 5:<font color="#000000">&quot; -- Oh, hello. &quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Do I need to answer riddles? {:O

Ball of Light 5:<font color="#000000">&quot; Right up there. &quot; The door you just came through just looks like part of the wall from this side.

* Thomas Lazarus nods hesitantly. &quot;..Thank you.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Ker-TEMPLE.

Young Acolyte:<font color="#000000">&quot;-- Eep!&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">ADVENTURERS! RUN!

Choir Leader:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh... you must be new.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Oh.&quot; ^^; &quot;..Beg your pardon.. We are.&quot;

Choir Leader:<font color="#000000">&quot;Welcome, then.&quot; :3

* Thomas Lazarus bows. &quot;Thank you. Please don't mind us.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus tromps off.

* Dr. Hatari is pretty much just shamelessly checking out the pretty tokens, ya'll can do whatever you want. *bricked*

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">wtf Qorach!? RUN. ALL THE NEEDLES

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">lulz

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Same here. TOKENSSSS! xU

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Qorach the Pelorite.

Pelorite Healer:<font color="#000000">This room seems to have been turned into an impromptu sick bay. You can see a number of people being healed and trated for illnesses here.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Wait, what? :B

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Oh. XD

Tathi: <font color="#9933ff">(( one of meany's attempted Q tokens. :P ))

Liatai:<font color="#000000">He's not actually a Pelorite, he's a refugee. :B

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Qorach once used the Guild Wars monk image for a disguise.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Oh. :B

High Elven Priest:<font color="#000000">&quot;-- Oh, hello. Are you in need of healing?&quot;

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">At the time, Ghost.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">I see we're still the prettiest religion. Very good. Very good. =3=

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">You complimented it, if I recall.

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">Also.

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">http://makeagif.com/media/2-10-2012/eDno86.gif

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">I can just stare at this.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt sticks around Thomas as they look around, but looks up at the lady's question. &quot;--Oh, no, my apologies, we're just familiarizing ourselves. We're new.&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">seizureiffic @.@

High Elven Priest:<font color="#000000">Lady? :| I know I'm an elf, but! *brick'd*

Aelian:<font color="#9933FF">Get used to it. ^^;

* Thomas Lazarus looks over and waves a palm in the air. &quot;Thank you, but we're in ample supply of healing magic. As a matter of fact, please don't hesitate to pull us aside of there is any want for assistance. I am Thomas Lazarus. I once worked in the temple of light in Castleton.&quot; He offers a smile.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">wha--oh, goddammit, not again elves! xD

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Dang.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Ehlonnan Knight got some epic drops, I see.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">ANDROGENYYYYY

VAE whispers: As an aside, what about the sanctioned summoner? Is she random assignment of the day, or does she work with the Mace regularly? Do the two know her?

Glitch:<font color="#000000">...Ehlonnan Knight? Where? :.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Such adorable urchins. :B

High Elven Priest:<font color="#000000">&quot;-- Oh, I see! Welcome, brother. They may be call for your aid at some point... there are so many in need of healing these days. We've seen more cases of haluroot poisoning and devil chills these past few months than we've seen in the last few years.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I can imagine..&quot;

* Edaric seems to have taken up soup-delivering duty for a while. :3

Glitch:<font color="#000000">--Hey!

* Thomas Lazarus nods. &quot;Well. Please don't hesitate to, then. I'll likely be here until dark, atleast.&quot;

Glitch:<font color="#000000">How'd Gerta Blacksword get here/! O.o

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Wow. I'm impressed. :B

Glitch:<font color="#000000">It's her Good Twin! :U

Liatai:<font color="#000000">I didn't think anyone would recognize the token after so long. :B

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">Or someone decided to cast Ressurect her.

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">Not impossible.

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">FRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISK

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">Given -y'all gave her a shallow grave-.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Ah, there's the Ehlonnian Knight--who is indeed epic--, and

Druid's Fox:<font color="#000000">:3 !

Glitch:<font color="#000000">ahahaha. Ehlonnian Druid. And a little fox. Of course. xD

Nina:<font color="#000000">Woof! A fox :9

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">You-know-who all escaped dimensional collapse.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Apparently!

Druid's Fox:<font color="#000000">There's a fox in this room playing with a bunch of kids, as well as a counter where soup is being handed out to refugees.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">That means there is a badass veteran out there. Somewhere!

VAE:<font color="#000000">ahha

You whisper to VAE: This is the first time they've met this sanctioned summoner.

VAE:<font color="#000000">We also need a Tamika and the two gryphons.

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">Shazam.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Anyway...Oh, yeah, Thomas. At some point, we are probably going to need to look into silver dust supplies...it's not urgent at this moment, but will be eventually.&quot;

VAE whispers: and last question, of the defectors, any of them joined within the timeframe Igor got sent there? (Roughly, five years ago)

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt follows the demonhunter.

* Thomas Lazarus nods idly. &quot;This temple is likely in short supply already.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;I was guessing that as well.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">He then leans in. &quot; Also I need to talk to you about something, away from the people in these rooms.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus nods after a bit of hesitation. He keeps walking about for now.

You whisper to VAE: He'd be familiar with all of their faces, at least, if he cared to keep up with the people in the Mace. But, yes. That half-elf I mentioned with the fireball problem, Ansramil Hawkin, and the neat-freak inquisitor all arrived in Yoriver within the last five years.

Ball of Light 3:<font color="#000000">This seems to be the main hall of the temple. An open courtyard in the center has a pool of water, above which several lantern archons hover.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot; So many..&quot; :o

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt definitely notices the multiple balls of floating light...near a very elderly woman in prayer. &quot; Could...could she be...&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;'Tis a Pelorite temple. You're welcome to walk right up and ask.&quot; He smiles.

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">Tathi has a glance about in this room. What's going on in here?

You whisper to Meany: Sszeyl will notice that his head seems very calm within this circle. No Vargie, and even First's voices are a little quieter than usual.

VAE whispers: Oh, familiar of course. I'm wondering .. it's to do with the thing we talked about. If they joined *at* roughly the same time, they'd prob'ly be on *slightly* better terms unless either has done something to the other.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot; I'm just wondering if that's the woman who the other Holy Light said made the pact with them. If so...she might be able to help us.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot; Incidentally, related to that is what I need to talk to you about. Privately.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">Soup is being handed out to refugees here, and a bunch of kids are playing with a fox. :3

VAE whispers: I'm just trying to place him within the branch.

* Thomas Lazarus raises a brow. &quot;Oh. ... No, I imagine not, from her adornment. Besides. I thought that was said to be a man. Perhaps I leapt to conclusions, though.&quot;

You whisper to VAE: When I bring the templar up above to talk to the PCs, be ready to bring in Igor.

You whisper to Ghostwish: When I bring the templar up above to talk to the PCs, be ready to bring in Sheythsanthi.

* Thomas Lazarus resumes exploring.

Tavia:<font color="#9933FF">Well would you just look at the time. CANINE SHENANAGINS TIME.

VAE whispers: I'm ready at any time. Hell, even Nina, his companion got brought up to date

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">Oh noes.

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">The canvas is out again.

Chilly Kid:<font color="#000000">:D! &quot;Doggy!&quot;

Tavia:<font color="#9933FF">Some biiiiiiig puppies come loping over. :3

Druid's Fox:<font color="#000000">:O

Druid's Fox:<font color="#000000">Elven hounds! :D

Amadre:<font color="#9933FF">Hi hi hi hi. :3

Druid's Fox:<font color="#000000">Play! Play! Don't eat me.

Tavia:<font color="#9933FF">You iz puppy. Play! :3

VAE whispers: Of course, i'd appreciate if you started us off on the way to the temple, rather than at the front door, if anything to get a bit of a hang for him and for the situation.

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&#171; &#160;1d20+10+mod = 19 + 10 + 0 = 29&#160; <font color="#CC0066">&#187; Craft (painting) check!

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">Forgot my +2 from masterwork tools. :3

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Leaving Thomas alone for the moment, Gnogglebolt wanders into the courtyard, towards the Lanterns and the elderly priestess.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Adorable children playing with puppies is what POWERS our faith! Feel the holy bulwark grow! \o/ *bricked*

VAE:<font color="#000000">haha

You whisper to Dr. Hatari: As a heads-up, when Tomi comes to the temple, she'll likely be coming alone. Altonor will insist on staying behind at a livery stable to see to Kep'salion, and Raerarael flat-out refuses to let the drow leave his sight. :B

Dr. Hatari whispers: Understood.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Now I imagined a whole facility where children and puppies are forced together, and dosed with nitrous oxide

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">(assuming she's in prayer) Gnogglebolt gets near, but stays a respectful distance away and kneels down in the grass to patiently await her to finish her communion.

VAE:<font color="#000000">to generate Pelorite faith

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">I think puppy mills and child slavery are more of a PELOR OF THE BURNING HATE thing. :B

Glitch:<font color="#000000">--speaking of!

Aelian:<font color="#9933FF">Aelian just smirks as he watches the hounds playing with the fox and kids.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Hatari, did you read IRC backlog? :B

Glitch:<font color="#000000">if not, I'll fetch the pertinent lines.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Hell no, I was two hours late from oversleeping. :B

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">I will after Akellon.

Elderly Priestess:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hello, little maester. What brings you to the house of the Shining One today?&quot; says the elderly woman, watching the fountain with a smile.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">--erk

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Glitch Oooh. Here's another very interesting one. 'Hear' the 'roar' of the Sun. :o http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2012/03/29/hear-the-suns-roar/

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Glitch (...and while listening to this, I couldn't help but imagine Thomas casting some &quot;Roar of Pelor's Light!&quot; spell in D&amp;D. xD )

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;To help answer the woes that plauge this city, actually.&quot; Gnogglebolt says.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;I'm here with some newcomers.&quot;

Aelian whispers: Ready. :3

Elderly Priestess:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh? You are welcome, then.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus isn't totally enchanted watching the adorable scene before him or anything. {83c

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;I....I was curious about something.&quot; Gnogglebolt says. He gestures to the celestial lights floating around. &quot;I asked one of them where they came from...they said a high clergymember had made a pact with them to call them when in need some time ago.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;I was...just wondering if that was you. They do seem to like you.&quot; Gnogglebolt lets a small grin tug at the side of his mouth.

Ehlonnan Knight:<font color="#000000">&quot;You'd scarcely believe that little fox once challenged a hellcat, would you, inquisitor?&quot; One of the guards sounds amused in the corner. :3

Teeny Rin:<font color="#FF0000">They like everyone. They're like affectionate puppies; you couldn't throw them away if you tried. *bricked!*

* Thomas Lazarus jolts. &quot;What, really?&quot; He gives the fox a second discerning look. &gt;:.

VAE:<font color="#000000">I think he shot the hellcat into the open turret

VAE:<font color="#000000">with a HE

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">Tathi-ninja happens by. &quot;A hellcat? Really?&quot; She says, and looks over at the druid. &quot;I don't have to be a divine agent to know who that fox belongs to. Who might you be, fey-friend?&quot; She asks the druid.

* Elderly Priestess smiles, and shakes her head. &quot;No, not I. That was the dear late founder of this temple. His ashes are buried beneath the fountain, you know.&quot; {:3

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">Naw. It was probably a T29, using gold rounds. One-shotted the poor bastard.

VAE:<font color="#000000">haha

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">First thought; &quot;But gold is too soft to be a -- oh tonks.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh, that's why they seem to be drawn to this area, then. Well...thank you anyway...I think I'll just stay here and watch them for a little bit. They're so beautiful...&quot; Gnogglebolt says, smiling and looking up at the floating lights.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Ohhhhh tonks.

VAE:<font color="#000000">hahha

VAE:<font color="#000000">Lia is taking the slow train tonight

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Just being in their presence already seems to be uplifting his spirits, and granting him calmness and serenity.

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">Sszeyl's brush goes to work, and colors bloom on the canvas. The tree, bare of leaves but glittering with ice, archons circling, and a pool of water, from which another archon is rising. However, the light is positioned at high noon, light hitting the globes, water, and ice, then breaking into seven hues, as if a prism.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">I have a terrier trying to hump me in order to grab my bagel, cut me some slack. XD

* VAE flicks Slackware 14.0 CDs at lia

Ehlonnan Druid:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hm? Me? You can call me Kan, and that's Frisk. The knight over there is Roland.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&gt;:O &gt;:O &gt;:O I'LL HAVE SUCH A STORY FOR TERRI *bricked*

Druid's Fox:<font color="#000000">The fox is flopped over on his back, and a kid is rubbing his belly. |D

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">I am snatching this NPC. Here I go

</i> Ehlonnan Druid:<font color="#000000">But I'm just a cameo! D: *brick'd*

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Kan, hrm? Are you from around this area, or just got trapped here while traveling?&quot;

Ehlonnan Knight:<font color="#000000">&quot;The latter... we were here to help negotiate peace between Yoriver and the elven communities of the area, but the next thing we knew, we were wanted for treason against the count of Yoriver.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">Which is complete BS btw.

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">Treason is only against a nation. So unless he's an indepentant county.... :V

VAE:<font color="#000000">As an aside, I think I have the first theme for Igor. And a lot in the Yoriver Mace branch incidentally

Ehlonnan Druid:<font color="#000000">&quot;It'll be nice when we can get out of here... the Pelorites are so nice, but Frisk is no city fox.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">Tathi makes a face of disgust. &quot;Truly? That's quite a fine answer to diplomacy that. So you live with the local elven communities?&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">We're getting into that 'vernacular' thing again. :B

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">HATARI I AM GOING TO ARGUE YOUR WORDS.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">SHADOWY ILLUMINATION BITCH. :O

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">WALRUS.

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">MOOSE.

Ehlonnan Druid:<font color="#000000">&quot;No, we live in a nearby grove, where there's an Ehlonnan temple. Though, we do often have dealings with the local elves.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">It's from the musical about the ratcatcher with a magic flute, in a very nice interpretation of the story

Pelorite Templar:<font color="#000000">&quot;-- Oh, hello, Moscran traveller. Do you know where the rest of your group is? I may have some news for them.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Ohhh, drats. Sorry, I'm Tathi, Tathi Eyllisaearsithek. I founded the SEEDS project to the south, and was hoping to strike up relations with the elven nations here, Have you heard about us yet?&quot;

Ehlonnan Druid:<font color="#000000">&quot;Sorry, I'm afraid not -- but now I have!&quot; :3 &quot;What is this project?&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;An attempt to create a sanctuary for all those who lose their homes to the Burning. A new home for wood elves and all of their friends. It's gotten off the ground much better than I originally predicted, and is coming along very nicely!&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus walks into the open central garden, taking in the sight.

Pelorite Templar:<font color="#000000">&quot;I think I hear them... one moment.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I think I'm satisfied with my exploration.&quot; He nods to Gnogglebolt.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt is still kneeling in the grass around the fountain, looking at the ponderous celestial lights, completely mesmerized.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">And he has a soft expression of peace and happiness that's not been seen on him before.

* Thomas Lazarus seems faintly amused. He looks to the lights in turn.

Pelorite Templar:<font color="#000000">&quot;Excuse me, Vigilant Guardians?&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#9933FF">Aelian turns around. &quot;Yes?&quot;

Runner:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt and Thomas see a runner entering the temple, looking around before darting toward the back of the temple.

Aelian:<font color="#9933FF">QUICK. EVERYONE SCATTER, THE DM'S LOOKING FOR US

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;...&quot; He frowns faintly.

Pelorite Templar:<font color="#000000">&quot;I have some news that might interest your group --&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus steps forward and taps Gnogglebolt's shoulder lightly to snap him from his reverie.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt blinks out of his daze as he hear's the group's name mentioned. &quot;...mwuh?&quot;

Runner:<font color="#000000">BAM. The runner throws open the door. &quot;''Sanctioned summoner and two Mace agents inbound! Adrastea is with them''&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">The song is set - it's the fisherman and his wife musing about how the rat-catcher has returned, looking for revenge. Man: I think the rat-catcher loves her a lot Woman: Those two shouldn't have damn met M: He shouldn't have left, I miss him, I kinda liked him in a way. W: Good job yet again M: Dear islanders! W: They fucked over even the ratcatcher M: They do it all the time W: I think they have gone beyond the line, summoned the demon, touched his soul M : We'll be left bearing the risk W: Like always M: They'll blame it on us W: That's illogical! We're not at fault M: The flute will hurt all Both: We hope to live through it in health. But the wounds seldom avoid the people, coincidences cleanse whole nations Both: The one who pays is always the one with his back bent, until the waters calm down M: I wish the rat-catcher would get lost! W: I suspect he's more wanting to return...

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Let's go.&quot;

Glitch:<font color="#000000">...Okay, a lot just happened at once. :B

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">He walks around to the back areas once more.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt looks up at Thomas. &quot;Oh, hello. What's going on?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">He then hears the runner's proclamation. &quot;...Uhoh.&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">It's just a text entry, people. Do only I have a scroll wheel? :B

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">He gets up quickly and hurries back with thomas--oh, darn!

You whisper to Ghostwish: You may begin inbound RP with Igor. The summoner and erinyes are quiet.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">You know what I forgot to make sure I kept mentioning?

You whisper to VAE: You may begin inbound RP with Sheythsanthi. The summoner and erinyes are quiet.

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Who is that?&quot; Tathi asks curiously.

* Thomas Lazarus looks back inside to the others, as well as the runner and nearby templars.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt's still in full kit, with the barrel of holy water on his back. I'm sure the Lanterns and perceptive clergymembers could home in on that concentration of power. :B

Nina:<font color="#000000">Nina sniffs around the door, looking slightly nervous.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Beg your pardon..&quot; He slips by. &quot;Who is Adrastea..?&quot;

Refugee Protector:<font color="#000000">&quot;-- Bad news, that's what! All refugees and those under sanctuary, to the back of the temple!&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus narrows his eyes. &quot; Crap.&quot;

Sheythsanthi:<font color="#9933FF">The wood elf sighs heavily. &quot;Well, here we are. I suppose we're all ready to be placed upon the Shining One's blacklist?&quot; He says with just the slightest sprinkling of sarcasm.

Igor Drechsler:<font color="#000000">&quot;Heel, Nina, calm down&quot; *turns to the rest of them*

Pelorite Templar:<font color="#000000">&quot;Where are all the members of your group? Adrastea is one of the count's most trusted eyes!&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt rushes to the trapdoor with Thomas.

Pelorite Templar:<font color="#000000">&quot;-- Wait! Vigilant Guardians.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Lovely. Tavia, Amadre, come.&quot; She orders.

Aelian:<font color="#9933FF">Aelian had already begun to ready his bow before looking up curiously.

Igor Drechsler:<font color="#000000">&quot;Eh. If he's helping traitors and murderers.. he can stuff himself where the sun doesn't shine.&quot;

Igor Drechsler:<font color="#000000">&quot;I wonder if that's how eclipses arise.&quot;

Pelorite Templar:<font color="#000000">&quot;You're adventurers -- it could get ugly with Adrastea involved. Would you mind watching through the windows to intervene if we give the signal?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Of course.&quot;

Sheythsanthi:<font color="#9933FF">He gives a sidelong glance. &quot;You are bold to so openly insult one who could vaporize you with but a twitch of their thoughts.&quot;

Pelorite Templar:<font color="#000000">&quot;Your group must not be seen by Adrastea unless it calls for it.&quot;

Pelorite Templar:<font color="#000000">&quot;Where is your old man?&quot;

Igor Drechsler:<font color="#000000">&quot;Who can't? If he's looking at any town, ours isn't it.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">Tathi nods, and looks around for the windows. ^^;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..Painting in the garden.&quot;

Igor Drechsler:<font color="#000000">*Besides, if

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt is waiting by the trapdoor for the others to arrive.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">We're in the kitchen. :B

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">As is the person calling us.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">...huh? We're supposed to go to the bottom of the temple, aren't we? O.o

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">Suddenly.

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;I am here.&quot;

Sheythsanthi:<font color="#9933FF">He sighs. &quot;I am not so quick to dismiss the deity's attentions. We would have been lost a long time ago if we had not help.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;Had to finish up.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">DM, please move my token to wherever it's supposed to be? I don't know. ^^;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gamal is nearby, and Rail seems afk.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">That was for refugees.

Igor Drechsler:<font color="#000000">&quot;Heh. Yet, most of our help seems to come from the other end, eh, miss...?&quot;

Sheythsanthi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot; Help indeed.. &quot; He says quietly.

Ehlonnan Druid:<font color="#000000">&quot;Come on, children, let's go to the back rooms...&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus lingers and sees to it that the civilians are escorted to safety.

Pelorite Templar:<font color="#000000">There are windows wherever there are benches, in addition to the stained-glass ones you can see.

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">Tathi found a window! DO-DE-DOOO!!

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">When the young'uns are safely squirreled away, Thomas slinks off and takes up a decent vantage point a little ways back from one of the stained windows.

Lucina:<font color="#000000">The two Mace agents and the summoner approach the temple. &quot;We have arrived.&quot;

Nina:<font color="#000000">Nina sits down behind Igor, waiting calmly. *Yawn*

Tough Templar:<font color="#000000">&quot;-- Halt! How dare you try to bring --&quot;

Dr. Hatari whispers: I assume Tomi and Rae aren't actually just standing right outside. :B

Igor Drechsler:<font color="#000000">*rubs her neck a bit*

Igor Drechsler:<font color="#000000">*faces the door again*

Lucina:<font color="#000000">&quot;You may have divine backing, but you are still within the town of Yoriver and subject to its laws. Do you truly wish to detain us?&quot;

Igor Drechsler:<font color="#000000">&quot;Indeed. It's not incense that's stinking here, and the smell is mighty thick.&quot;

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">She seems familiar.

Tough Templar:<font color="#000000">&quot;You may not bring a fiend within the hall of the Shining One.&quot;

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">Have I struck her with furniture before?

Igor Drechsler:<font color="#000000">&quot;And you may not hide fugitives in the temple.&quot;

Igor Drechsler:<font color="#000000">&quot;It seems, that the score is about even.&quot;

Sheythsanthi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;I believe it would be best if the fiend remains outside.&quot; The elf says curtly.

Adrastea:<font color="#000000">Fiend? And what of angels, priestess?

</i> says a voice in your mind as the erinyes speaks the same words in Celestial, with a beatific smile marred by cold eyes.

Igor Drechsler:<font color="#000000">&quot;Perhaps. We can handle this. Miss, stay outside, and alert the Commander if anything was to happen.&quot;

Adrastea:<font color="#000000">We are here to speak with the high priestess. Step aside, or would you rather be charged without investigation?

</i> Igor Drechsler:<font color="#000000">&quot;One doesn't need a fireball to cook tea, after all.&quot;

Lucina:<font color="#000000">&quot;This is not a Leaden Mace operation,&quot; the woman snaps to the Mace escort. &quot;You are here as an escort, not as negotiators. Am I clear?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Great

</i>. Tom frowns and steps back from the window. He leans against the south wall, folds his arms, and listens.

Igor Drechsler:<font color="#000000">*stares* &quot;You are here to deliver a notice.We're here as the arms of the law.&quot;

Sszeyl whispers: ''In the mood to murder some people? It may come to that.''

Elderly Priestess:<font color="#000000">&quot;Stop.&quot;

Sheythsanthi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;I'm sorry, Maybe you could refresh my memory as to which law allows true blasphamy to be commited against the temples of the Shining One?&quot; The elf replies cooly, but then looks to the Elderly Priestess.

VAE:<font color="#000000">mind waiting a moment, you three?

VAE:<font color="#000000">I seem to be called by nature,

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">Tathi squints, and whispers.. &quot; Is that.. no it couldn't be.. &quot; She says, pressing a hand to her mouth in wonder.

Elderly Priestess:<font color="#000000">&quot;We will not have violence within our entryway while the law of sanctuary is in effect.&quot; She hobbles to the front.

VAE:<font color="#000000">and while stuff is going on, this needs me replying a lot

VAE:<font color="#000000">so, pause for under a minute, K?

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">Is it bad that I can't see anyone?

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">Ah, there we go.

* Sheythsanthi glances down the street and sees TGUM and Tommy. Well that escalated quickly. *BRICK'D*

Liatai:<font color="#000000">XP

Liatai:<font color="#000000">They're not actually there. :B

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">I whispered her the same thing. :B

Sheythsanthi:<font color="#9933FF">I know. Thus the bricking. :P

VAE:<font color="#000000">back

Elderly Priestess:<font color="#000000">&quot;You wish to speak to me?&quot;

Igor Drechsler:<font color="#000000">*nods*

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">If you were on the same city block as us for over ten minutes, you could feel the tremors.

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">Tomiko does weigh four tons.

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">*murder'd*

VAE:<font color="#000000">she does

VAE:<font color="#000000">it's all the armour

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">I don't even care if that gets misconstrued as a sexual innuendo; this guy is amazing. *bricked*

VAE:<font color="#000000">She's a Terminator Assault Marine

Glitch:<font color="#000000">which guy?

* Thomas Lazarus listens from his hidden position tensely. &quot;...&quot;

Lucina:<font color="#000000">&quot;We do. High Priestess Luanne Selaren, this temple is known to harbor fugitives from the law. By the authority of Count Montclaire of Yoriver, you are hereby commanded to release these fugitives so that they may face justice&quot;

Elderly Priestess:<font color="#000000">&quot;That is a violation of the sacred law of sanctuary.&quot;

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">Name names or it doesn't count in a court of law.

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">*brick*

Igor Drechsler:<font color="#000000">&quot;Sacred law of sanctuary? Those men are heretics and murderers.&quot;

Sheythsanthi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Laws are laws, Igor. And they are correct.&quot;

Glitch:<font color="#000000">(where the heck did Thomas go?)

Sheythsanthi: <font color="#9933ff">(( SUDDENLY CAMPAIGN SAVE GEEZUS ))

Lucina:<font color="#000000">&quot;I see. Then may we step in and look around?&quot;

Glitch:<font color="#000000">oh, there he is, I see.

Tathi: <font color="#9933FF">&quot;Thomas! Thomas! Can you see that elf? What does he look like?&quot; Tathi asks, as she keeps craning her neck to try and see them in the entry way.

Tathi: <font color="#9933FF">&quot;Thomas! Thomas! Can you see that elf? What does he look like?

<font color="#9933FF">&quot; Tathi asks, as she keeps craning her neck to try and see them in the entry way.

Aelian:<font color="#9933FF">Aelian glances over. &quot; You know him? &quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Tom is in a different room than Tathi. ^^;

Elderly Priestess:<font color="#000000">&quot;People may come to us if they feel threatened for any reason to seek sanctuary... the presence of a fiend will only make them feel further threatened.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot; I think! &quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">But maybe she doesn't notice.

Elderly Priestess:<font color="#000000">&quot;I will have to ask you to leave.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">She does not.

Igor Drechsler:<font color="#000000">*messes with a wound on his forearm* &quot;That wasn't a suggestion.&quot;

Lucina:<font color="#000000">&quot;So you defy the law of Yoriver?&quot;

Glitch:<font color="#000000">...

Igor Drechsler:<font color="#000000">&quot;We are representatives of the law of Yoriver, you are its subject. It's simple like that.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">sorry, back, had to help roomate move stuff he brought more car loads of stuff he's moving in

Igor Drechsler:<font color="#000000">&quot;After all, the innocent have nothing to hide, not so?&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">You didn't miss anything.

* Glitch can't help but think of Heimdall at that part. &quot;You would defy the commands of Loki, our King?&quot; &quot;...Yes.&quot; &quot;Good&quot; *walks away*

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">... Nah just kiddin', we're about to get found out by Nazis.

Igor Drechsler:<font color="#000000">&quot;We look around, we find no criminals, we leave.&quot;

Sheythsanthi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;At this point, neither one of you is representing the law with any truth at all. Yoriver still respects the law of sanctuary, last I checked.&quot; The elf says.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Oh hello, Railock.

Ball of Light 2:<font color="#000000">&quot;No fiend shall enter the hall of the Shining One!&quot; one of the balls of light announces, flitting forward and flaring its light. &quot;I forbid it --&quot;

Igor Drechsler:<font color="#000000">&quot;What the fuck.. &quot;

Nina:<font color="#000000">*retreats, growling.*

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">Except it's an archon.

Igor Drechsler: <font color="#000000">&quot;Miss, it'd be perhaps best if we performed the search alone, for now&quot;

Adrastea:<font color="#000000">The androgynous winged figure sneers, drawing a bow off its back and nocking an arrow. FWIP! &#171; &#160;1d20+20 = 10 + 20 = 30&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; &#171;  &#160;1d8+6+1d6 = 2 + 6 + 1 = 9&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; A flaming arrow flies over the heads of the priests and assembled people.

* Thomas Lazarus keeps his profile flat against the south wall. His frown tightens. His hand creeps around his holy sword grip.

Ball of Light 2:<font color="#000000">The archon suddenly sputters as the arrow strikes home, and drifts to the ground.

Aelian:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Shots fired!!&quot; Aelian announces, quickly drawing his bow.

Igor Drechsler:<font color="#000000">&quot;Ah well, here it comes.&quot;

* Gamal-Junayd put shis hands on his weapons handles

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt's eyes go wide as saucers as he sees this trasgression. &quot;No...&quot;

* Gamal-Junayd draws them as shouts occur

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">He's instantly readying his Soakifyer.

Adrastea:<font color="#000000">This is what Pelor's servants rely on? Dancing lights and illusions?

</i> The winged person strides forward, speaking words in Celestial as the words echo in your native tongue in your mind. Heed my words, people of Yoriver, and heed them well.

Igor Drechsler: <font color="#000000">&quot;Miss, you should restrain her..? Better.&quot;

Sheythsanthi:<font color="#9933FF">All everyone hears it the metallic shriek as the elf draws a longsword. &quot;Enough! Dismiss that fiend, immediately!&quot;

Elderly Priestess:<font color="#000000">The people are all too stunned at what just happened to do much... and know that to defy Adrastea is to invite arrest and death.

Sszeyl whispers: Are you going to sleep still while we go to war, or share our eyes to revel in the conflict?

Lucina:<font color="#000000">&quot;Restrain your colleague, mage.&quot;

Igor Drechsler:<font color="#000000">&quot;Sheyshanti, calm the fuck down.&quot;

Igor Drechsler:<font color="#000000">&quot;We're here to do work.&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Is this a bad time to point out I thought that image was hilarious *bird'd*

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt moves closer to the doorway from the kitchen to the main hall, Soakifyer in hand, staying out of line of sight of the main doorway but just in sight of Thomas. He starts furiously waving his hand to get Thomas's attention, apparently hoping for a signal to move in the way he silently holds up his gun.

Adrastea:<font color="#000000">The erinyes continues to speak, looking around at all assembled, and points at the fallen archon. ''These people would have you believe that these little globes of light, which any apprentice spellcaster may conjure, are angels. That these little balls of smoke and illusion have some celestial substance. Heed the words of a true angel and do not be fooled by these parlor tricks.''

Adrastea:<font color="#000000">If they seek to decieve you as such, who can tell what else they may be hiding?

</i> * Thomas Lazarus has a dire expression, glaring at the corner the voices are coming from. But he just holds a mute palm up for now. &quot;...&quot;

* Gamal-Junayd wishes there was a font of holy water somewhere they could simply tip over onto the mouthy beep

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">With a tightly closed-eye expression of seething rage, Gnogglebolt holds the gun to his forehead in frustration.

Igor Drechsler: <font color="#000000">&quot;Miss, perhaps it'd be indeed best if we handled the search alone. Nina can sniff them out, after all.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gamal; haha, I -have- a font of holy water, remember? :B

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">yeah but no one would know it was holy water till after

Adrastea:<font color="#000000">The temple of Pelor has three days. They may release the criminals they harbor to justice, they may submit to full investigation, or they will close their doors.

</i> The erinyes replaces its bow on its back, stalking back toward the sanctioned summoner. Defiance will be met with harshly.

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">The old man doesn't even blink during this.

Sheythsanthi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;You are wasting your breath, Igor..&quot;

Adrastea:<font color="#000000">Come, my ally in justice.

</i> Summoner and devil depart, leaving behind a temple silent aside from the spellcasting of a templar who had rushed forward to attempt to heal the fallen archon.

Lucina:<font color="#000000">&quot; You know your duties. Do not fail, &quot; the summoner murmurs to the Mace agents as she departs.

Igor Drechsler:<font color="#000000">*nods*

Igor Drechsler:<font color="#000000">&quot;Allright&quot; *pulls out his badge*

* Gamal-Junayd thinks that for day three, they need to rig a vat of holy water above the door and let it fall on the entire party when they come to harrass

Igor Drechsler:<font color="#000000">&quot;As you know, the priest threatens with hell, while the mayor threatens with a stick.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus exhales through his nose.

Igor Drechsler:<font color="#000000">&quot;We're officers of the Leaden Mace, and we have a search warrant. While you may have the law of the sanctuary in times of peace, I doubt it applies it time of martial law, to people commiting offenses of the throat. So...&quot;

Elderly Priestess:<font color="#000000">&quot;Is Pip all right...?&quot; The priestess shakily walks back toward the archon.

Sheythsanthi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Igor.&quot;

Sheythsanthi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Enough.&quot;

Ball of Light 2:<font color="#000000">&quot; I see snowflakes... &quot; @~@

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">Well if the town is in -martial- law, the Count better have a military rank, or the people in charge of the Fort is technically in charge.

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">*shot*

Sheythsanthi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;This.. pervesion.. of justice, will not mar the reputation of the Leaden Mace. What has happened her is nothing short of a crime.&quot;

Sheythsanthi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;We'll be preforming an investigation, allright.&quot;

Igor Drechsler:<font color="#000000">&quot;While I ... don't particularly agree with her methods, we're in the right.&quot;

Sheythsanthi whispers: I forgot what rank Igor has. @_@

You whisper to Ghostwish: Inquisitor

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">Attacking unprovoked is not in the right.

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">:v

Sheythsanthi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;No, we are not. I count no less than three laws we have already broken. 'Right' is about as close to this as holy is to the winged nightmare that just left.&quot;

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Let him dream. :B

VAE:<font color="#000000">Neither is harboring renegade officers.

Igor Drechsler:<font color="#000000">&quot;You know... if we're to argue, better do it outside.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Tom's trembling builds to a crescendo. &quot;...&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;I sense Tom is finally going to snap and murder us all.&quot;

</i> Igor Drechsler:<font color="#000000">&quot;We have orders to carry out, and the longer we faff about, the bigger the chance that someone'll rain on our parade.&quot;

Sheythsanthi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;You've got a choice to make, Igor. Are you going to keep bobbing your head to tyranny, or are you ready to uphold our order's ideals, and seek to bring justice to corruption?&quot;

Ball of Light 2:<font color="#000000">The little ball of light is at least starting to float again.

Igor Drechsler:<font color="#000000">&quot;Our order's ideals are to carry our our bloody orders. Besides, we shall report her ... ungainly conduct to the commander .&quot;

Sheythsanthi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Your soul is not excused on orders, Igor. Think about that.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">You know what's funny?

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">VAE's characters could all pass as Fey.

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">No sense of the spirit of the law, only the letter.

Igor Drechsler:<font color="#000000">&quot;Eh. My soul is my business, and so is this place. &quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">The squeak and clank of boots turning on their heels and tromping sounds from the rear of the temple, and Tom marches around the pews and to the centerfold. And keeps marching right up to the entrance, wearing a dark glower.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">oh shit

Liatai:<font color="#000000">BRB

* Thomas Lazarus points ahead. &quot;You two.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;Marching orders.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;Go go go.&quot;

Sheythsanthi:<font color="#9933FF">He sighs, and shakes his head. &quot;Not anymore it's not. Your orders are to stay here and watch for trouble. I will be conducti-&quot; He starts, and then stops and looks to Thomas.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt sees Thomas step out, and notices the fiend is gone, and hastily puts away his soakifyer and pulls out his bombchucker.

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Ohhhh criminey..&quot; Tathi mutters as they follow.

* Gamal-Junayd moves up, weapons at ready if need be, hiding behind the door

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;What in the name of God did I just witness you condoning in the name of our order?&quot; Tom reaches into his coat and flashes his LMS badge.

Igor Drechsler: <font color="#000000">&quot;Look, Shey. I don't like working with angels any more than you do, but that's what we have to do. Shey, you're an inquisitor for longer than I've been, get back to the ground.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">With Bombchucker in hand, Gnogglebolt peers around the corner and nods to the others as they come up themselves.

Igor Drechsler:<font color="#000000">0_0

Sheythsanthi:<font color="#9933FF">Sheysanthi's eyes widen considerable. &quot;And.. who might you be, Inquisitor?&quot;

Igor Drechsler:<font color="#000000">&quot;Who are you? Hands above the head, stat!&quot;

Sheythsanthi:<font color="#9933FF">He holds up a hand, stalling Igor.

Sszeyl: <font color="#CC0066">&quot;I advise you go get the patrons into the back room, before things get worse.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;''Inquisitor Thomas Lazarus. Castleton branch! I've been here for two hours.&quot;''

* Thomas Lazarus snaps and shakes his pointing finger again, &quot;And it is you who will explain the rest, 'Inquisitors'.&quot;

Igor Drechsler:<font color="#000000">&quot;Castleton branch? What on ...earth is the Big C 's branch doing here.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;You ATTACKED PEOPLE IN A TEMPLE WITH A FIEND WITH YOU.&quot;

Igor Drechsler:<font color="#000000">&quot;I am certain I attacked noone.&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Oh hey I'm back -- WHOA PARTY.

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">Yeah.

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">This is why we can't have nice things.

Igor Drechsler:<font color="#000000">&quot;Inquisitor Drechsler, Yoriver branch, by the way.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt quietly loads his bombchucker--uhoh. Do we need a rewind. :B

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Reading up... XD

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I noticed.&quot;

* Gamal-Junayd hisses for everyone in the room to get further back,

Sheythsanthi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Senior Inquisitor Sheythsanthi Norrearnith Simtherzairvin. Yoriver branch.&quot; He says calmly, lowering his hand. &quot;And what you witnessed..&quot; He says, and looks back at Igor.. &quot;.. Is the absolute mockery of justice that Yoriever has become.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Now explain what in the hell you think you're doing.&quot;

Glitch:<font color="#000000">...Who the heck is controlling Sheyth if not Lia?

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Uhoh.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Yeah.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Check the font color doofus. :B

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">You couldn't tell.

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">From the color.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Everyone, stop and let DM catch up. :B

Glitch:<font color="#000000">i didn't THINK about it until now. :B

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot; Fuck me sideways that is him. &quot; Tathi practically grunts in elven.

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">How very Tech.

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">*shot

Igor Drechsler:<font color="#000000">&quot;It's fairly simple. You know that circulatory about the Hextorian traitors? I presume you've been sent as a replacement.&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#9933FF">Aelian's head snaps to the side to regard Tathi, but quickly returns to the matter at hand.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Guuuuysss. :B

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Let the DM catch up. Given her reaction, we -might- rewind. :B

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">Do you see me or Hatari doing anything?

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;What are you -- wait! -- oh jeez.&quot; Ed runs out after the party.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Stop going forward until she drops in to say something. :B

VAE:<font color="#000000">ehh

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">Nuh-uh.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">...Oh, well

Glitch:<font color="#000000">nevermind

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">No way.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I am here in official capacity at the behest of the national commander of the Leaden Mace Society investigating rumors of a Hextorian infiltration within this city. Yes.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">There are characters talking.

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">I am not getting identified by this. =3=;

* Swallowtail is brick'd.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;And your fiend just shot someone in a temple of light.&quot;

Igor Drechsler:<font color="#000000">&quot;Indeed. Well, there's suspicion that they are hiding within-&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Are you blind to how damning that is?&quot;

Sheythsanthi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;STOP.&quot; The elf suddenly barks, and quite loudly.

* Thomas Lazarus shoots the elf a look, and falls silent. He is quite worked up, though.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Readied action; shoot if another shot flies.

* Thomas Lazarus is not a happy camper!

Igor Drechsler:<font color="#000000">&quot;The angel was led by a Sanctioned Summoner, responding to the office of Count M-&quot;

* Gamal-Junayd slips out the door and heads to behind a wall, trying to not be noticed in this giant distraction fighting match (Hide Check : &#171; &#160;1d20+7 = 4 + 7 = 11&#160;  &#187;)

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">Nope.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">least it wasn't a one. and they are distracted

* Thomas Lazarus looks like he's about to fly off the handle when Igor says 'angel'.

Igor Drechsler:<font color="#000000">&quot;And what it has shot at was a two-bit illusion. &quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">That can kill you with ray attacks.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I am a trained fiend-slayer and exorcist! And that was a Baatezu Erinyes! Not an Angel!&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">That wasn't dispelled by the illusion.

Ball of Light 2:<font color="#000000">&quot;Two-bit illusion?!&quot; The little ball of light sputters.

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">That is being healed by people.

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;You might want to stop advancing, until the healers say so.&quot;

Ball of Light 2:<font color="#000000">&quot;I forgive you, for you have been decieved, but I am an archon of Celestia!&quot; D: Sheythsanthi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Inquisitor, I understand that matters quite heretical have just occured, but never, in my presence or out shall you imply that I work with the likes of fiends.&quot; He says in an aggressive, powerful tone. &quot;I have stood for justice and for the light since before you were born. Never will I associate with the blasphemy and heresy that has befallen the city of Yoriver.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;How elvish. :p&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus glances to the elf and lowers his accusing hand, atleast.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt glances sideways at the stunned people still in the pews. He hisses &quot;''What are you all still doing here? Move to the rear rooms, now.''&quot; He returns his attention to the rising tensions.

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;Tathi, you were muttering about how you know the preacher-elf?&quot;

Igor Drechsler:<font color="#000000">&quot;Calm down, Shey.&quot;

Big-Nosed Lumberjack:<font color="#000000">&quot; No way! Not moving! &quot;

Worried Merchant:<font color="#000000">&quot; Moving draws attention! &quot;

Sheythsanthi:<font color="#9933FF">He takes a deep breath, and puts his hands on his hips, shaking his head. &quot;What you just witnessed was nothing short of the sham that justice and authority has become here in Yoriver. The tyranny that masquerades as authority.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I know what that thing was. And what it was doing.&quot; He narrows his eyes and looks to Igor.

Sheythsanthi:<font color="#9933FF">He looks up. &quot;I assume you're here to make contact with your sister, and the young lady's father?&quot;

Housewife:<font color="#000000">&quot; I'm not a criminal -- I shouldn't be here! &quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;What are you doing?&quot;

Sheythsanthi: <font color="#9933ff">(( AAACK, supper! Why you so inconvient!? ))

* Thomas Lazarus flinches.

Igor Drechsler:<font color="#000000">*A scab on his forearm starts bleeding as Igor picks at it.* &quot;We were accompanying a sanctioned summoner, for something like the fifth time this month.. &quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">Okay, one question, is Shey a Pelorite?

Liatai:<font color="#000000">He's Cuthbertine, I believe.

VAE:<font color="#000000">because well, they'd know that sort of thing among themselves. Ah, OK

Igor Drechsler:<font color="#000000">&quot;And.. eh, Things took a nasty turn as you could see. I assure you that she'll be reported - the last thing we want is bloodshed among our damn allies.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;...&quot; Tom's imperious glare remains through the statement of sanctioned summoner. &quot;This was a decidedly very poor first impression for our branches first meeting, Inquisitor.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;... you know, just by speaking up and telling her that you didn't think she was doing the right thing, you're probably going to be branded a traitor, too, inquisitor...&quot;

Igor Drechsler:<font color="#000000">&quot;She was doing the right thing.. she was doing it in a way that's bound to get someone killed.&quot;

Igor Drechsler:<font color="#000000">&quot;But enough of this nonsense. Inquisitor Lazarus, these are dire times, and we still have our duty to carry out.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;The right thing? Firing unprovoked onto celestials in a temple is the DEFINITION of the WRONG. THING!&quot; Tom shouts through grit teeth.

Igor Drechsler:<font color="#000000">&quot;See, that was the stupid thing right there.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;You are an arms length from getting personally knocked the fuck out by me, Inquisitor!&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot; Whoa, Tom, calm down! &quot; o_o;

Sheythsanthi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;By Her Shield, Igor, wake up. Do you seriously believe that was a malconvoker just now? The way that fiend was acting?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Straighten out your operation!&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">Sszeyl just breezes up to Tom.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Aha, so he's a Vandria Gilmadrith guy. My mistake. ^^;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">And throws a loop of his dragonchain over Tom's head.

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">CALM EMOTIONS.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">NOOOOOOOO zero bothers given

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt sidles over to Edaric, with his loaded bombchucker still in hand. &quot; Ed, ed, can you still cast that emotions thing?&quot;

Igor Drechsler:<font color="#000000">&quot;Shey.. you know that malconvokers got to keep them restrained. That.. angel prob'ly wasn't trained enough.. But are you surprised?&quot;

GM:<font color="#000000">Actually, Tom's entitled to a Will save.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">although he could voluntarily fail. :B

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&gt;:O &#171; &#160;1d20+14 = 19 + 14 = 33&#160; <font color="#FF0000">&#187;

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Or not. :B

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">yeah no emotion calming

GM:<font color="#000000">TOO MUCH RIGHTEOUS FURY. :B

Igor Drechsler:<font color="#000000">&quot;There's about as much of them kicking the can per week as there's us. I bet she was straight out of college.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus sputters at the chain's presence, though.

Sheythsanthi:<font color="#9933FF">He sighs. &quot;Stop calling that nightmare an angel, Igor. And no, you are entirely wrong. That was a posessed puppet walking around with its devil master.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;Willful.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;-- Sszeyl, save those charges!&quot; D: * Thomas Lazarus lays a hand on Sszeyl's and takes it as a sign that he's going overboard, regardless. &quot;...&quot;

Igor Drechsler:<font color="#000000">&quot;And you dare to assert that.. on basis of what?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;Good to have you back, Thomas.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">Le remove loop.

* Thomas Lazarus huffs through his nose and looks back to the doorway.

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;The fact that she let the 'angel' take over speaking when she was supposed to be the authority's a pretty good sign in my book...&quot;

Igor Drechsler:<font color="#000000">&quot;She was haughty like a shit on a cake platter, and can't keep it leashed well, but if that were the signs of possession, half the people you meet per day would be devils' thralls.&quot;

Sheythsanthi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;On the basis of what? You disappoint me, Inquisitor. Failing to note who was in charge of that entire boondoggle, failing to note the so-called 'Summoner''s inability or unwillingness to clarify ever so much as a single detail? Failing to note that the devil spoke without being spoken to?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;That an angel wouldn't use mind speak to address a crowd, that's a show of force to indimidate people.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;--We will need to convene with Yoriver's authorities and straighten some things out, Inquisitor. The situation here has attracted the attention of authorities higher than Count Montclaire, and everyone is being audited for suspicion.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Remember that the next time you presume to let an arrow fly.&quot;

Igor Drechsler:<font color="#000000">&quot;Everyone's being audited?&quot; *spits* &quot;Soon enough. First they let the shit brew, and when it smells three counties' over, then they audit.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;We'll make an appointment.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Braxton people love appointments. *bricked*

Igor Drechsler:<font color="#000000">&quot;That we should. In fact, once our business here is done, you might want to follow us to the office of Commander Whitaker.&quot;

Sheythsanthi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Incorrect.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Tomorrow. We're still busy collecting our own assessment. Do what you came here to do, then.&quot; He gestures back.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">It's surely been enough time for the priests and priestesses to hide the real refugees.

Sheythsanthi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;They are here to conduct an investigation. By Leaden Mace procedure, they are to conduct said investigation by their own judgement, not by the judgement of the branch being investigated. I hope I can trust you to carry out this investigation, Inquisitor Lazarus?&quot;

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;Mass invisibility! Prestidigitation!&quot;

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;Okay, they can't see or smell us.&quot;

Igor Drechsler:<font color="#000000">&quot;Alllright. Oh.. before I forget.. you might not want to wander the town out of daylight hours. You have your badge.. but some of the patrols get a bit itchy.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Yeah.. we're working on it..&quot; &gt;:T

* Thomas Lazarus turns and walks off with a stormy expression. His coat billows as he passes others. &quot;I'll be around.&quot;

Sheythsanthi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Good. By the by, I have one order for you. We are to sweep this building for fugitives. I am tasking you with this, Inquisitor. See to your duties, and bring your report to my place of residence. Understood?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Well, after the other fellow finishes his line, that is.

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">https://i.chzbgr.com/completestore/12/10/1/XBCWEb30Uk2Ftx3xQwWjAw2.jpg

Igor Drechsler:<font color="#000000">&quot;Understood.&quot;

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">This is the boss of this dungeon.

Igor Drechsler:<font color="#000000">&quot;Come, Nina!&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">What.

Sheythsanthi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;One very last thing, Inquisitor Lazarus.&quot; He calls as Thomas turns to leave.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Yes?&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">Place of residence? Does Sheyth live outside the Mace barracks?

VAE:<font color="#000000">I mean, it'd be entirely possible to

VAE:<font color="#000000">just curious

Sheythsanthi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Make sure you keep an eye on Miss Eyllisaearsithek at all times. I believe I need not caution you as to how.. troublesome she can be.&quot; He says.. and is that a smirk?

VAE:<font color="#000000">and brb for nature's call again. Been drinking lots of tea.

* Thomas Lazarus is given some pause, but seems to deliberately hide any further reaction.

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">Tathi turns a little red. :|

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">As Thomas walks away, Gnogglebolt turns to quickly follow.

* Thomas Lazarus finally backs off to the garden water basin.

Sheythsanthi:<font color="#9933FF">He bows slightly to the gathering. &quot;I apologize for the disturbance. Good evening.&quot; He says in farewell, and leaves with Igor.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Bck

* Edaric also follows, after casting a glance at Tathi.

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">Yeah. :3

* Thomas Lazarus gathers from water in a palm and splooshes his face.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot; Hey. Thomas. &quot; Gnogglebolt says quietly.

Igor Drechsler:<font color="#000000">&quot;Allright..&quot; *pulls out badge, then stops* &quot;Is there a problem, Inquisitor?&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">ahh, he splashed his face afterwards

VAE:<font color="#000000">ignore

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;--I'm sorry.&quot; He drones quietly while wetting his face.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;No no. Don't be.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot; I just couldn't handle that.&quot;

Ball of Light 2:<font color="#000000">&quot; I'm all right, I'm all right... &quot; The ball of light is getting investigated and gently supported by the other three lights.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;You said almost everything I wanted to. At any rate...&quot;

Sheythsanthi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Inquisitor!&quot; The elf calls. &quot;Come. Our duty here is done.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">moment

VAE:<font color="#000000">Is it, Lia?

VAE:<font color="#000000">I thought they were to look through the inside, too.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot; What do you think about that idea of calling for help, real help, like I was saying before? Because that's what I needed to talk to you about earlier...&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">Or just to deliver a warrant?

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;I think everyone else was too shocked to do anything... how are you now?&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">I'll brb 1 shake, dad needs a hand moving something

VAE:<font color="#000000">I have been assuming that the Sanctiones Summoner meant the first, too.

Aelian:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Okay Tathi.. who was that?&quot;

You whisper to VAE: Their assigned duty was to see what the Pelorites did after the warrant was delivered. Up to the inquisitor how far that order goes.

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">The wizard looks a little flustered. &quot;You heard his name. Why are you asking me?&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#9933FF">Aelian just gives her a flat look, and doesn't bother with a sense motive check.

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">Pssst, Igor. Orders be damned. You've got a higher rank telling you to get your ass moving. :P

VAE:<font color="#000000">moment more

VAE:<font color="#000000">Ahh, but, he'd have to be a Junior for that. You can boss around his rank only when assigned to do so by the commander

* Thomas Lazarus lolls his head back and sighs before offering Ed a weary smile. &quot;..I'm okay. Thank you.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;It was her first husband.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">And the Drow goes trotting off.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Much like Miron wasn't bossing around the juniors, despite them being a single rank below.

* Thomas Lazarus looks a little more serious. &quot; All the more reason for us to get to work on this sooner than later.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">As far as they were there, the sanctioned summoner was the boss.

VAE whispers: one last thing. Are there any ID papers in the town?

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot; Exactly. Just before those people arrived, the other Pelorite told me who might be able to help us. I...don't know if he's still here, but we need to check. Come along with me?&quot;

You whisper to VAE: Yes. Every traveller coming in should have them. That shows they came in through official channels.

VAE whispers: if yes, he'll look around the inside if everyone's documents are in order. Braxton had them I recall

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Everyone? I half think we should post watch tonight. At the doors of the temple.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus nods. To everyone else, &quot;Please pardon us a few minutes.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;I'll do it.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;I don't sleep.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;Or eat. Or drink.&quot;

Igor Drechsler:<font color="#000000">&quot;Moment, Shey. I think I'll look through the papers of the folk inside, just to be sure. If they are all clean - well, that much more proof someone up above might have sent us on a wild goose chase.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;The pelorits should gather up a shole bunch of holy water, and let the devil come in only to dump it on it from above. That'd prove it sure wasn'ta n angel.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;I'll be able to watch all night.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt goes with Thomas back to the secret wall in the rear of the temple.

Igor Drechsler:<font color="#000000">&quot;Leaden Mace. Now, if you could please step aside, I have a routine check to perform inside.&quot;

Igor Drechsler:<font color="#000000">*looking at the tough templar*

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Shall I risk breaking fog to move back to lower level, or can DM move us?

Sheythsanthi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Why are you stepping in on Inquisitor Lazarus' job?&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">An interesting discrepancy strikes me.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Tom wasn't lying; he's actually here on Ashmore's order to do what he said.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">....... But I don't think he has any papers. XP

Elderly Priestess:<font color="#000000">&quot; Except next time, it won't just be one devil... it will be a horde. &quot;

Igor Drechsler: <font color="#000000">&quot;Eh, after the fuckup, it's better that we tell the commander we did something&quot;

Sheythsanthi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;We did. Now come along.&quot;

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Liatai? Ya there, or afk again? :B

Igor Drechsler:<font color="#000000">&quot;We stood there and chatted.&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Just busy, silly.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">oh, oops. Right. Sorry.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Missed that.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt looks around for the templar from earlier who mentioned the &quot;demon-man&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus dabs at his head and hair with a handkerchief.

Anise Berilan:<font color="#000000">&quot;What the hell happened up there? I heard Tom shouting -- did someone dunk your head in the fountain?&quot;

Igor Drechsler:<font color="#000000">&quot;Now, if you could kindly step aside?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;... I don't think I've ever gotten that mad before in all my life. &quot; He looks a little worried and humble now, in stark contrast to minutes ago.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">...shankfang's been asleep in bed the whole time. :B

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Man, poor ram.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;We ..just had our first run-in with one of Montclaire's agents.&quot;

Igor Drechsler:<font color="#000000">*looking at the templars, still*

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;They left.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">did they?

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">Is it true that igor can just blatently defy an higher rank?? what kind of silly rank structure is that?

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">They being the summoner and devil.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Where, oh where, has the templar-lady gone? Oh where of where can she be? :U

Tough Templar:<font color="#000000">He's right, actually -- as senior officer there, Sheythsanthi holds the reins in lieu of a higher-ranking agent.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Hmm, then the ranks work a little different than how they used to.

Anise Berilan:<font color="#000000">&quot;Explains the commotion upstairs.. everybody okay? Who needs roughing up?&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus murmurs in aggravation, &quot;Some of the Inquisitors here are unbelievable.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Nobody.. I managed to.. talk the situation into a sort of resolution. I guess.&quot;

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">Lower ranks always obey higher ranks. There's never been an exception. o.o

Ball of Light 4:<font color="#000000">&quot; Who are you looking for, Gnogglebolt Sparkgear from Mazio with the Vigilant Guardians? &quot;

* Thomas Lazarus sighs. &quot;I think we should just try to get things moving sooner than later. The devil with them gave the church a three day ultimatum.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt looks up at the archon. &quot;Oh, do you know where that templar lady we were speaking to earlier went?&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">True, this might be a relict of old plot. That said, they had an order from their commander and from the summoner.. eh, I'll go with it for now.

Ball of Light 4:<font color="#000000">&quot; Upstairs, to speak with you, I believe. &quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...Oh. Oops.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;This way, Thomas.&quot; Gnogglebolt says with a nervous smile. ^^;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Of course the one time I was scary you were downstairs. =3=

* Thomas Lazarus follows.

Igor Drechsler:<font color="#000000">After a few minutes of further deliberation, Igor sighs. &quot;Fine. Let's go.. but if the Commander complains, it's on your shirt.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt looks through the temple again... &quot;Oh! There you are!&quot; He walks up to the templar-lady.

Pelorite Templar:<font color="#000000">&quot;... We should wait a while before bringing back the refugees... but -- &quot; The templar jumps a little. &quot;-- Yes?&quot; ^^;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">A curious ninja approaches. :.

Sheythsanthi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Well of course it is. I'm the one delivering the report, aren't I?&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus retroactively frets over his harsh language! D|

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;So, Tathi...&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Who was that?&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">And then she teleported away.

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&gt;: Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">Tathi was keeping up with Thomas and the others, sorry. :3

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">:B

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Just before those people arrived. A runner had come saying a...&quot; Gnogglebolt lowers his voice &quot; Demon man on our side Had also arrived. Is he still here? If so, we need to speak with him right now, over what I asked you about.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">Tathi sighs, rubbing her forehead.. &quot;That.. well, I don't know if you humans have a word for it.. He was a sheriff, before the Burning? And, yeah. He, emm.. Caught me. A lot.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Or did he rabbit when the others showed up?&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus huffs at Tathi's remark.

Pelorite Templar:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh. Him.&quot; The templar's nose wrinkles again. &quot;You'll need to ask the Macers. They should still be in the basement.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt repeatedly smacks his forehead.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">..... :B

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Thank you.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">He tromps back -down- the stairs with Thomas in tow.

* Thomas Lazarus watches Gnogglebolt go. To everyone else, &quot;Please, do as you see fit, everyone. We have all evening until our.. first appointment.&quot; &gt;.&gt;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Gnogglebolt seems to want to speak with me about something.&quot;

Igor Drechsler:<font color="#000000">*turns his head* ''That's it. First, he pulled a sword at a sanctioned summoner, and now this. Fucking local, thinking he's the big cheese. ''

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">He then walks after.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">...Uhoh.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">...do you have token on file, Hatari, or do you need the DM to snatch a copy from an earlier instance? &gt;.&gt;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">BRB

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">-Back- in the lower levels, Gnogglebolt looks around. &quot;Are, um, any Macers down here?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Looking for one in particular, need his help.&quot;

* Glitch takes the moment to brb himself

Glitch:<font color="#000000">back

Grizzled One-Legged Smith:<font color="#000000">&quot;You blind to the badge, boy?&quot;

* Dr. Hatari moves chicken into oven.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh, hello. Um.&quot; Gnogglebolt moves closer. &quot;That, uh... malconvoker&quot; Gnogglebolt grinds out the word like a bad taste, &quot;who arrived earlier--is he still here?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;The one who's -actually- on our side?&quot;

* Grizzled One-Legged Smith seems completely unaffected by the tone, and just jerks his head back toward the southeast. &quot;In there.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Thank you.&quot; Gnogglebolt walks forward--and in time limbo until Hatari returns to follow. :B

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt knocks on the door.

Half-Elven Mage:<font color="#000000">&quot;Who are these civvies?&quot;

Ansramil Hawkin:<font color="#000000">&quot;The one in the longcoat is an inquisitor, brother.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;And I'm with him.&quot; Gnogglebolt chimes.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Ghost, lia, see #yoriver for an elaboration on the issue.

Half-Elven Mage:<font color="#000000">&quot;Don't see a badge.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus doesn't bother flashing a badge. &quot;..Just looking for an expert on some matters magical.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;That, yeah. We just need some help. No investigations or interrogations or anything like that.&quot;

* VAE posted a bit of a wall of text there.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Bless you for not doing it here.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Fuck you too, tech.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">(that was not sarcasm btw. Thank you.)

Grizzled One-Legged Smith:<font color="#000000">&quot;OI! Don't stand in their way, junior. They probably wanna talk to Petersen after what happened upstairs.&quot;

Half-Elven Mage:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yes sir,&quot; the half-elf grumbles, and opens the door.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt looks in. &quot;Hello there...ah...I'm just going to be direct for once. Which of you is the malconvoker?&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus steps in and offers a nod of acknowledgement to those assembled.

Roy Stanford:<font color="#000000">Four people within look up as the door opens.

Lyle Petersen:<font color="#000000">&quot;-- Aha, that would be me. Nice to be called properly for once.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt takes a breath before holding up a finger to point at the main, then let it drop.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...I'm not gonna mince words.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000"><i>This

</i> time, Tom displays his badge. &quot;Inquisitor Thomas Lazarus. Castleton branch.&quot; He glances to Gnogglebolt. &quot;..But this visit is for a friend's curiosity.&quot;

Lyle Petersen:<font color="#000000">&quot;... you there, the tall one, you wouldn't happen to have a sharp-tongued sister, would you?&quot; |3

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;I don't like you. I don't like what you do. But we need your help, because you're the only person on our side who anyone says can help.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Soouunndds like you've met her.&quot;

* Lyle Petersen practically mouths right along to Gnogglebolt's statement, as though he's heard it from a script a thousand times, and picks up flawlessly afterward. &quot;So what is it exactly you need?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Be nice, Gnogglebolt. He's down here helping to save folk at the end of the day.&quot; He glowers at the ceiling. &quot;Not up there.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Alright, well...&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Do you have any 'ritual scrolls' on your person?&quot;

Lyle Petersen:<font color="#000000">&quot;He asks an archivist.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;One of the others said you might be the only one who has the one we need.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Are you an archavist? I never pay attention to Macer ranks, really. But I'll take that as a yes.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Okay. So.&quot;

* Dr. Hatari flips chickens

Half-Elven Mage:<font color="#000000">&quot; Told you. Civvie. &quot;

Grizzled One-Legged Smith:<font color="#000000">&quot; Shut up, junior. &quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt gestures to Thomas. &quot;Thomas here, he can cast a spell that can call an otherworldly being semi-permanently. But he says he can only cast a weak beacon, and won't be able to attract much of any power.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;He said that if he had a ritual scroll for a stronger beacon, he might be able to pull it off.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Is any of this ringing a bell to you? I'm not good with magic either.&quot;

Lyle Petersen:<font color="#000000">&quot;Clearly.&quot; The archivist takes out a pack full of papers and begins to rifle through them, humming a little. &quot;Hm~ Pelorite, by your rosaries, and from the commotion upstairs, no malconvoker either...&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus folds his arms. &quot;The commotion should've been common to any sane upholder of the law, malconvoker or not.&quot;

Lyle Petersen:<font color="#000000">&quot;Lesser Planar Ally, let's see... there's two... hmm. Well, I'd hoped to use this to summon a vrock if things went terribly south...&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus narrows his eyes. &quot;Vrocks leave spores.&quot;

Lyle Petersen:<font color="#000000">&quot;If they only get close to the devils, there's no problem.&quot; |3

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I see a disregard for collateral damage is a common train of thought in your profession.&quot; :|

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Think, man. There are PUPPIES up there! What if they roll in it later?! *bricked*

VAE:<font color="#000000">hahahah

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Indeed.&quot; Gnogglebolt grits his teeth. &quot;By the way, just because you might like to know. An archon upstairs almost died in that 'commotion you heard because of a person like you.&quot;

Lyle Petersen:<font color="#000000">&quot;Vrocks are wonderfully easy to manipulate for higher demons. Simply point them in the direction of a fight and they scarcely care what they're fighting for.&quot; The archivist looks somewhat hurt. &quot;What collateral damage? The devils? I wouldn't waste any sympathy on them, my friend, you'll get none from them.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I meant spores in the air. They hurt.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;... But we digress.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt then pinches the bridge of his nose. &quot;--Right. Friends here. Don't want to antagonize. Sorry.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Do need your help and all.&quot;

* Lyle Petersen frowns. &quot;That commotion would never have happened if that had been a malconvoker. You could hear the telepathy from down here. Probably an erinyes and its thrall. So. Scroll? You want it? Yes? No? Maybe so?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt looks up again (after mostly talking to himself)

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yes! Scroll, powerful calling beacon?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Good to know the difference, atleast.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;How much do we owe you for it?&quot;

Lyle Petersen:<font color="#000000">&quot;Mid-strength, actually. Greater callings are dangerous things in this line of work.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Huh. Well, mid-strength sounds like it's above weak, which sounds like what Thomas was talking about. We'll take it.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Your price?&quot;

Lyle Petersen:<font color="#000000">&quot;Well. The market price of such a scroll is two thousand, four hundred gold pieces... but we are on the same side. It's quite the loss, but --&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Quiet, Tomi-muse. I am not going to collar-shake people. You've spoken up enough already. |T

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">WUSS &gt;:O

Roy Stanford:<font color="#000000">Even if you hadn't been able to see it, you could probably feel the glare the fellow with the glowing eye is giving the back of Lyle's head. :|

Lyle Petersen:<font color="#000000">&quot;-- How about some cigarettes and we'll call it even?&quot; ^^

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt snorts. &quot;You know what? You've got a deal.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus leaves that one up to the Gnome.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;We can probably send someone down the street to a store to get some.&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">So~

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;As I surmise, it seems a bit hard for you to walk around aboveground without getting jumped by our mutual enemies.&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Yes. Tomi is showing up soon. :B

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">What are Gamal, Sszeyl, Tathigang and possibly Igor up to? :B

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Oh. :B

VAE:<font color="#000000">I wonder myself

VAE:<font color="#000000">also, Lia, Ghost, I repeat, look at #yoriver

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">I was more wondering about this dead silence outside of the current room making me feel so self-conscious. =w=;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Busy ^^;;;

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">I am not in yoriver.

VAE:<font color="#000000">bugger

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">Me? I'm sitting.

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">And watching this fascinating tree.

Igor Drechsler:<font color="#000000">Anyways, Igor and his loopy colleague should be on the way to the Yoriver Mace HQ by now

Lyle Petersen:<font color="#000000">&quot;Good luck~&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Thank you.&quot; He remarks earnestly.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">With the scroll handed over, Gnogglebolt takes it, lets out a breath, looks at the man...and with the diplomatic grace of someone who knows how to put credit-where-credit-is-due before bias, respectfully bows and flourishes his hand. &quot;Thank you.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus observes Roy for a curious moment.

Lyle Petersen:<font color="#000000">Ah-ah, gnome.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">He stands back up. &quot;And you know what? If we're all still

Lyle Petersen:<font color="#000000">I'm holding onto it until I get my cigs. ^^

VAE:<font color="#000000">If anything, one of the inquisitors maybe could.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Honestly I was just going to bum a pack of cigarettes off of the smith right outside for like, ten gold and a candybar or something.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">But that works.

* Disgruntled Man arches an eyebrow. &quot;What? You must be crazy. Trade's been regulated for weeks now -- and most tobacconists' are being watched for suspicious people anyway. Hoping to catch some renegade Macer who's a smoker, I think.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">*headdesk headdessk headdesk*

Lyle Petersen:<font color="#000000">There's a reason I said good luck, and why a pack of cigs would be worth a loss of 2.3K to me. ^^

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;That's why I'm sending you. You're not a renegade macer, are you?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Eh. Well.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">I was gunna have Gnogglebolt promise'if we're all still alive at the end of this I'll pay you the rest', but...

Disgruntled Man:<font color="#000000">&quot;I'm a farmer, where the hell would I get gold pieces from to buy cigarettes? Suspicious. Suspicious means warrants, warrants mean arrests, arrests mean interrogations and hangings. No way.&quot; You may want to attempt Diplomacy.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000"><i>This

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...How much do cigs go for in the quarantine? If you don't mind answering that.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">It does indeed.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;I mean, totally legit, just walk up with the gold, pass inspection as not being someone they're looking for, buy them, walk away?&quot;

Roy Stanford:<font color="#000000">&quot;... Yes, inquisitor?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Alright then.&quot; Gnogglebolt pushes four gold pieces into the man's hand. &quot;You buy two pounds with that, keep the rest. How's that sound?&quot; Diplomacy: &#171; &#160;1d20+16 = 7 + 16 = 23&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Deal.&quot; Gnoggleboolt gives the man a fifth gold coin.

VAE:<font color="#000000">you should give it to him in CP's

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt, looking slightly worried, hurries back downstairs.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I am afraid if she did, it was subdued in the excitement of our most unholy guest, earlier.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..Did you perhaps wish us gathered for something, sir?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">He comes back into the room. &quot;Alright, Petersen, got your stuff.&quot; Gnogglebolt holds out the two-pounds-bag worth of tobacco.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Sszeyl: Always zen when it counts. Never zen when it doesn't. :B *bricked*

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Fiend attack? Paint landscape. =3=

Igor Drechsler:<font color="#000000">&quot;Me, Nina, and my loopy colleague are the law around here.We carry the badges, we carry the guns, metaphoricallly speaking. And we go around with hot demon-controllin' malconvokers. It's a job you'd die for.. and in the last few weeks, many had.&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Not just any, either. It's going to kick ass.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">And then he will shatter it over a devil's head to death.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">x3

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">Actually.

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">I was going to take one of the long pews.

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">And -throw- it at the fiend like a javelin.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">That about covers what I got.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Ready to continue when everyone else is.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Oh. Seconding Ed-support. Tom appreciated that. =w=

GM:<font color="#000000">Collected! I'll compile them at session end. :3

GM:<font color="#000000">We're going to fast-forward to sunset shortly, so put on your timeskip hats. :3

* Dr. Hatari still can't get over how Ansramil looks more like Tom than Tom does. *boggle*

Liatai:<font color="#000000">x3

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Fast-forard to sunset? Uh...well, okay. Got just a few lines to get in first, though. &gt;.&gt;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">You want the art? Unfortunately Ansramil is missing half of an arm... which I didn't realize when I made his token. :B

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Nah, it's just an amusing footnote. :B

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">As Gnogglebolt and Thomas start to walk back up to the top of the temple, Gnogglebolt hands the scroll over. &quot;Alright. Here it is, the big piece. Use it when you're ready.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...and we hope that it works, and what you said about the celestial going off to get itself killed doesn't happen...though, not even those Holy Lights were suicidal. Actually...kinda friendly...&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Mm.. ... ..I may wish to confer with the high priestess on this matter before we do. I've never done such a thing before.&quot;

You whisper to Dr. Hatari: Be ready to bring in Tomi. :3

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Of course, of course. Uh...might I listen in while you do? It might be educational for me as well.&quot;

Ghostwish: <font color="#9933ff">(( holy shit too close ))

Ghostwish: <font color="#9933ff">(( douglas kicked the power button. o.o;; ))

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;It's not that they're suicidal..&quot; he frowns and pockets the scroll. &quot;Those two forces just hate each other. They exist to oppose each other in a more literal sense than any living creature in this world can ever know. I can only imagine.&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">o.o;

Ghostwish: <font color="#9933ff">(( brb, taking dishes away ))

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;... Anyways, yes, of course. It's your doing, for the most part. I'll simply finish the magic spell contained in this scroll. We'll see what happens from there.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Thomas? Tell me what we saw just an hour ago?&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus raises his brows in confusion. &quot;...?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;While a shot was fired between them, not even the Holy Lights threw themselves at the....thing to get themselves killed. If they're representative of celestials...&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus tromps back to the others.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;That is of course, if they're representative of celestials. We can only hope.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Respectfully, I do not imagine those are soldiers and freedom-fighters, friend.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;We shall see who answers when the call goes out.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Other than that, having the two forcs hate each other is precicely what we need.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...Hmm. You may be right there.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;I guess we will see.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt follows Thomas upstairs, seeing if he's going to speak to the priestess now, or wait until late.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Timeskip narrate away. Tom tries to unwind for a few hours.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">That, then.

VAE:<font color="#000000">As an aside

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt does likewise.

VAE:<font color="#000000">I am super curious how does the .. .incident at the pelorite temple get reported

VAE:<font color="#000000">and how does the commander react.

GM:<font color="#000000">A tense few hours await... Tom wouldn't likely be able to talk to the high priestess at the moment, anyway. She's too busy checking on their forces and their supplies... in case they need to hold out for a seige.

Teeny Rin 1:<font color="#FF0000">BEHEADINGS!!!1!!1 &gt;:O

Ghostwish: <font color="#9933ff">(( back ))

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">ugh, too late. :|

GM:<font color="#000000">Seige? Siege? How the heck do you spell that word. I before E except after C, right? Siege?

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">English, Liatai. No rules.

VAE:<font color="#000000">You spell it siege because you see it written like that

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">SIEGE

VAE:<font color="#000000">Grammar rules are useless, it's all case by case basis

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">Spelling rules are useless too.

* Dr. Hatari remembers thanks to having a character named that.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Stamped on his hat in all caps.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000"><i>Yep.

</i> VAE:<font color="#000000">Siege von Stalingrad?

GM:<font color="#000000">-- Anyway!

VAE:<font color="#000000">Interesting character name :3

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">SIEGE the senile 25 year old warforged wizard. :B

VAE:<font color="#000000">haha

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">WHO ARE YOU. WHY ARE YOU IN MY HOUSE?!

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">This is -my- house, and you're breaking in!

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">Oh. GIVE ME THE MONEY.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">That is just like verbatim one of his declarations, yes.

GM:<font color="#000000">The sun begins to set, while preparations are still being made. DAY 1 - 72 hours remain *BRICK'D*

VAE:<font color="#000000">XD That's a long day

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">AAAUGH NOT THE MOON FLASHBACKS

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">EVIL MOON. QUICK, SONG OF TIME, SONG OF TIME!

* Gnogglebolt builds a STEAMPUNK OCARINA

You whisper to Dr. Hatari: Time to bring in Tomi. :3

Dr. Hatari whispers: Sure. Where at? Other map?

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Didn't get that reference, huh Danman? :B

You whisper to Dr. Hatari: Temple of Pelor. She's right outside the door. :3

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Incidentally, it's the same reference as all the DAWN of a NEW DAY callouts Lia does to advance time. :P

Dr. Hatari whispers: Tomi-stealth. x3

You whisper to Dr. Hatari: She left the elves bickering; Rae wants to meet them at the stable.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Not quite, Glitch

VAE:<font color="#000000">I.. might not be oon my best thinking hat mood nwo

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask.

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">By evening, a certain someone slips into the front of the temple of light.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Explains

VAE:<font color="#000000">I never played any Zelda games

Tough Templar:<font color="#000000">&quot;-- You -- You're Tomiko Lazarus, aren't you?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">Le wave to Tomiko.

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">dagnabbit, chance to recruit kan, gone! :(

VAE:<font color="#000000">YES. NOW FUCK OFF

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">wat

VAE:<font color="#000000">That'd be tomiko's answer, wouldn't it?

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">OH XP

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Shouldn't Tathi or Thomas be at the front to help identify them when they come in?&quot;

* Tomiko Lazarus eyes the guards and nods frankly.

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Good idea.&quot;

Ball of Light 1:<font color="#000000">A little ball of light floats up to Tomiko at a templar's indication.

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..That was an awful quick I.D. Guess I shouldn't leave my jacket behind afterall. Mom was right all these years.&quot; She comments in a sort of casual sarcasm.

Ball of Light 1:<font color="#000000">&quot; Hello. How are you? &quot;

* Tomiko Lazarus is given pause. o_o

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt looks around the corner as Tomi comes in. Finally.

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I'm... good.&quot; o_o;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;Yes, you are.&quot;

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot; What is that.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;You missed your brother channeling you earlier.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;It's an angel.&quot;

Igor Drechsler:<font color="#000000">Nah. We're the ones with angels.

Ball of Light 1:<font color="#000000">The light bobs up and down a little, then 'nods' to the templar.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000"><i>It's not an angel!

</i> Gnogglebolt thinks to himself.

* Tomiko Lazarus squints at Sszeyl, snapping out of surprise entirely.

Tough Templar:<font color="#000000">&quot;You may pass.&quot;

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;You're with him?&quot; He gets a once over. &quot;Take me to him.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;Follow me.&quot;

* Tomiko Lazarus barely even acknowledges that the guards existed the moment Sszeyl spoke up.

* Gamal-Junayd nods and walks with them as well

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">As Tomiko comes in, Gnogglebolt nods to her while standing by Thomas. &quot;Shall we move this downstairs?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;She is here.&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;Sister incoming.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...Wait.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus looks over.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Tomiko, right? Where's the other guy?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">He's here.

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">And there.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..Good to see you, sis.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">And over there.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt then turns to Thomas, and realizes that this is a brother-sister reunion.

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">And a bit on the ceiling.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">He remembers his own, and steps aside and falls silent.

* Tomiko Lazarus stares at Thomas, dumbfounded. &quot;...?&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus presents himself with spread arms. :|

Ghostwish: <font color="#9933ff">(( razzafrazzin'... ))

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..Well! You look different. Where's the long-haired pale wussy little brother I left back at home gone to?&quot; |3

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">Tathi's been watching, hoping someone else will come through the doors.. Is.. Is she bouncing on the heels of her shoes??

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Hilarious. But where is Raerarael?&quot;

Sszeyl whispers: You still quiet?

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;He refused to come. So it's just me for now.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;How did you come in the front door without anyone seeing you, I wonder.&quot;

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;He's convinced that Drow feller you know is some sort of nefarious plotter he can't let out of his sight.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;Oh, there's a Drow with you now?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Palm, meet forehead.

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot; Jeez, she seems even taller in person. &quot; :.

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;What!?&quot; Cripes, that was high-pitched. &quot;That dull-eared.. Rrrrr! Where is he!?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;You know, he should have brought the other guy. As it so happen--&quot; Gnogglebolt then freezes before he says too much.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;If Raerarael isn't coming, we really ought to move this downstairs, folks.&quot; Gnogglebolt says, pointedly looking at the civillians around.

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I can show you to them later. I've gotten to know the town pretty well. Move at night, keep a low profile, that kind of thing.&quot; ... She seems totally nonchalant about speaking on these matters in the company of strange Pelorites. It's like she can't even see them.

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Move what downstairs? He's the one in the know. Come on. Get your stuff. It's close.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Yes, let's go, I have some ears to tear off.&quot; &gt;:|

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Wha--no, wait. Er, Tomiko. There's people here you ought to talk to.&quot;

* Tomiko Lazarus takes a moment to look over everyone nearby.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;I tried to suggest to the others to Send to you this morning.&quot;

Druid's Fox:<font color="#000000">Yip? :.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;We learned some very important things here, things you need to know.&quot;

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Then you can share them with Rae and Alt.&quot;

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Come on.&quot;

* Tomiko Lazarus turns and heads back outside, hands pocketed.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt sighs, with a quick glance at Thomas. Of the 'is your sister always like this' sort.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">=3=

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+8 = 7 + 8 = 15&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; Disguise check...

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Okay, I know you don't have any real reason to listen to anything I say, as you don't know me...&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;Alt.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;I guess we should follow her then. we do need to get the lines of communication open.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;As in Altonor?&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Oh. Before I forget, it's nice to meet you, Tomiko, in person, I mean.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;But there are people, not us, in this temple, who you really need to talk to.&quot;

* Gamal-Junayd follows her, takign care to note the path

Teeny Rin 1:<font color="#FF0000">ASSUME MAP-PORT SQUARE! &gt;:O

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Odd. Thomas described you as kind of ugly.&quot; :3

Aelian:<font color="#9933FF">Aelian'

Aelian:<font color="#9933FF">s looking.. a little pale.

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">Ker-costumed. Minus the ears.

Aelian:<font color="#9933FF">Such a catgirl.

* Edaric double-takes. &quot;... still got that feast costume, huh?&quot; ^^;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;Is good disguise. Shush. I like it. &quot;

* Tomiko Lazarus looks back over her shoulder. The elf gets a discerning look. &quot;...So I guess you're Rae's lil' punkin'.&quot; |3

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Damn. He warned you, didn't he?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Apparently completely ignored, Gnogglebolt groans, rolls hsi eyes, and trots after the others.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">I made a =3= face.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">...Um.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Hold up real quick. Question.

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">Gnogglebolt's attempt at derailing, derailed!!

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Are we actually, IC, going to leave Shankfang behind? -3-

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">Who?

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">OH. Right. &gt;&gt;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">He's here.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Inside of us.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Final Fantasy world screen style.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Conditionally. Assume shadow Shankfang is with you.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">or shall I grab his token?

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">WITH US IN SPIRIT

Liatai:<font color="#000000">If Ram is here next session, he'll -- PUT THAT HALF ORC BACK &gt;:O

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">What you should specifically do is squelch your OCD urge to even ask this shit. :B

Glitch:<font color="#000000">wha--I thought you jsut said! Dx

Liatai:<font color="#000000">I said SHADOW SHANKFANG.

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">Seconded~

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Don't grab the token.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">what the -hell- does that mean, if not actual shankfang? Dx

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">it's not shadow shankfang

Liatai:<font color="#000000">If Ram actually shows up next session, -I'll- grab it.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">it's Schroedinger shankfang

Liatai:<font color="#000000">No need to take it along otherwise.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Okay, okay. -3-

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">he is both with us and not with us until the observation of next week occurs

Liatai:<font color="#000000">x3

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Besides.

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">are we looking for that black cat again...

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Alright, alright.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">You know the reunion would be full of hugs. :B

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Good point.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Sorry for that. Was just confused. ^^;

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">The group is otherwise paid relatively little mind while escorted back to the rendezvous.

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;... so, should we hold off on introductions until we get there, or what?&quot;

* Tomiko Lazarus has apparently been taking paths like this for some time. &quot; Shush.&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot; Street has ears. Shh. &quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;probably. In case somethign goes wrong, less we know, the better, isn't that how it goes in such intrigues?&quot;

Tathi: <font color="#9933FF">&quot;Shhhhh.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&#171; &#160;1d20+8 = 15 + 8 = 23&#160; <font color="#CC0066">&#187; Move silently check!

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Clank clank rattle clack slosh.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Cargo pack &amp; barrel. :B

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">(Move Silently Check : &#171; &#160;1d20+7 = 16 + 7 = 23&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;)

Aelian:<font color="#9933FF">Aelian just kind of watches dumb and dumber trying to sneak.. in the presence of full plate. :|

* Thomas Lazarus just heads along. =w=;

GM:<font color="#000000">What a pleasant evening this is... please head to Livery Stable when you get the chance. :3

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Part of my vagueness if exacerbated by the fact that I don't know what a Livery is. :B

VAE:<font color="#000000">Where they keep livers.

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">Some kind of livestock building...?

VAE:<font color="#000000">And pancreases.

Player &quot;Sszeyl&quot; is not connected.Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">place for horses

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">Stable.

You whisper to Meany: -- OW. As soon as you stepped out of the temple doors, Vargie came back with a clawing, swearing, fiery vengeance.

Sszeyl whispers: So that's where you've been.

GM:<font color="#000000">A livery stable is a place where people can rent horses, carts, and carriages.

Sszeyl whispers: Are you okay?

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">My dictionary was giving me this hogwash about it being just a badge/uniform and no other definition.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Oh well!

VAE:<font color="#000000">not just

VAE:<font color="#000000">a. The boarding and care of horses for a fee. b. The hiring out of horses and carriages. c. A livery stable.

You whisper to Meany: &quot;'''Do. I. SOUND?! Okay?! I WILL TEAR THE LIMBS OFF WHOEVER CAME UP WITH THE IDEA OF HALLOWING.'''&quot;

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Once at the stables, Tomi takes the lead and knocks on the doors three times.

Sszeyl whispers: You sound like you're angry with yourself that you weren't able to remain aware despite being able to at the Castleton branch of the Pelor church.

Sszeyl whispers: Perhaps it was the Archons?

You whisper to Meany: '''I DON'T NEED YOUR PSEUDO-PSYCHOLOGY. I NEED TO MAIM SOMETHING.'''

Sszeyl whispers: Let us pray Altonor behaves like an idiot then.

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF"><i>The door goes flying off the hinges and kills 62 hobgoblins before coming to a stop on the moon-

* Tomiko Lazarus rests her chin on knuckles, and cradles that arm with another. &quot; The way they were going at it when I left, I wouldn't be surprised if they were busy making out.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">What a strange creature.

Malachite:<font color="#000000"><i>Whoa. Your head's a trip.

</i> Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066"><b>Help me.

Malachite:<font color="#000000"><i>Tathiiiiiiiii!

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Thanks, sweetie.&quot; To Raerarael. &quot;Found 'em.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...Seems like a bit of an exposed place to be hiding...&quot; Gnogglebolt says.

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">Hey, Tomiko, around here we usually watch out for elven hound missiles, but this time, GANG-WAY TATHI MISSILE. Oh hey, with psuedo-dragon attached. :3

Malachite:<font color="#000000"><i>Hi, rat. Ooh. You're shiny.

</i> Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;Where is Altonor?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;He and I have business.&quot;

Raerarael Eyllisaearsithek:<font color="#000000">&quot;Tathi!&quot; :D HUG.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt strides forward. &quot;Hello, mister Ellisaersithek. Nice to finally meet you in person.&quot;

* Tomiko Lazarus takes a seat on a nearby coach.

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF"><i>&quot;Atar!&quot;

</i> Squeals one happy elf as she promptly tackle-hugs her father. :3

* Gamal-Junayd sticks next to sszeyel

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Hello, sir.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;And hello again, Altonor. Oh, by the way, Sszeyl wants to punch you. I still don't know why.&quot;

Kor:<font color="#9933FF">I CHALLANGE YOU, WINGED PESTILENCE. &gt;:|

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Just letting you know.&quot;

Raerarael Eyllisaearsithek:<font color="#000000">&quot;Look at you! You look like a proper elven wizard now!&quot; |D &quot;How's my little girl?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">What's that, kobold fanbase?

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">Start a game of gnome-soccer?

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">OKAY

* Thomas Lazarus folds his arms, and he and his sister quickly strike up banter. ((Afk 1 minute))

Altonor:<font color="#000000">A horse and a drow peek around the corner of the stall. &quot;... I heard. Where is he?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Old man disguise.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;I'm so glad you're okay!! I'm a little flustered, I mean, what with the- HEY. What do you mean proper elven wizard!?&quot; &gt;:|

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">The old man walks up, grabs his own face, and promptly rips it off.

* Altonor sighs. &quot;All right. You get one shot and only one.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;I somehow expected shock. Perhaps even a why. This is refreshing.&quot;

Raerarael Eyllisaearsithek:<font color="#000000">&quot;Tinuamin, your magical signature is lit up like a star.&quot; :3

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;Forgive me if it's a bit lacking. Been out of combat a bit.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot; Oh. I thought you were talking about that number I was going around the academy in.&quot; ^^;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&#171; &#160;1d20+11+mod = 14 + 11 + 0 = 25&#160; <font color="#CC0066">&#187; Drow strike! &#171; &#160;1d10+6+modb = 3 + 6 + 0 = 9&#160; <font color="#CC0066">&#187; Magical damage.

* Tomiko Lazarus leans around the corner as a second Drow appears and they start punchin'.

Altonor:<font color="#000000">... hang on, I need to check and see if that actually beats his flat-footed AC. ^^;;;

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Actually!

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I see you're traveling with some colorful characters too.&quot;

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Given Altonor isn't even resisting, it's like half a coup de grace :B

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Sszeyl might not be striking to kill, btu surely it's an auto-hit

VAE:<font color="#000000">So it's just a coup d

* Thomas Lazarus frowns as Sszeyl makes good on his long-awaited punch. &quot;..I guess.&quot;

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Taking a moment to line up the punch with an unmoving target.

Altonor:<font color="#000000">Eh, getting rid of the shield as well as the Dex bonus did it. PUNCH'D. Kep'salion snorts warningly at Sszeyl as the other drow rolls with it.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt just sighs and rolls his eyes as that's done with.

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;And now my hostility toward you is resolved. Please do not hesitate to reciprocate if it is needed.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;''Are we quite satisfied now? Can we get down to business?&quot;''

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Are we quite satisfied now? Can we get down to business?&quot;

* Altonor re-sets his jaw, feeding a little healing energy into it. &quot;... Now that that's over with, willing to talk about it like civilized men later?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I'm glad we've finally met back up..&quot; He frowns. &quot;What've you all been up to in the most recent days? We're only just beginning to learn of the happenings here. And Montclaire's forces.&quot; &gt;:| &quot;..Some she-devil named Adrastea was at the temple today. She and her entourage had the gall to fire a shot on the archons there before delivering an ultimatum and leaving.&quot;

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Not so fucking fast.&quot; Thomas gets his hair ruffled.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&gt;|O

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;Of course.&quot;

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Who are these tiny people you brought with you, and why did one of them punch Altonor?&quot;

Raerarael Eyllisaearsithek:<font color="#000000">&quot;-- You got armor for Kor!&quot; |D &quot;He looks like a little centurion!&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">Tathi pauses for a brief moment to watch the.. drowisms.. and then smiles back at her father, jabbering on in elven. (&quot;So what's happened recently!? You heard from thomas.. We got quite the welcoming into Yoriver.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;Though I thought our mutual acquaintinces would have informed you already.&quot;

Raerarael Eyllisaearsithek:<font color="#000000">&quot;(Sorry I don't have any cheese with me, Kor.)&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Right! Right. Introductions, all around.&quot;

Altonor:<font color="#000000">&quot;Two sides to every story, kid.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">(&quot;Oh yes, I was worried about the little lump getting plucked off my shoulder by an archer. Maybe we should get Malachite some? I'm sure she'd look smashing in some jeweled-plate!&quot;)

Kor:<font color="#9933FF">YOUR SUFFERING SHALL BE UNENDING. LIKE GETTING YOUR TAIL CAUGHT IN THE DOOR HINGE.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;I'm Gnogglebolt Sparkgear, of Mazio. Collectively, we call ourselves the Vigilant Guardians.&quot;

* Edaric looks back at Aelian. &quot; You doing all right? No lightning bolts yet! &quot; {:3

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...I don't claim to be the leader, but that's what they keep telling me, so. There's that too.&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#9933FF">&quot; Shhhhh!!! &quot; Aelian warns.. and promptly gets behind Ed.

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;'Vigilant Guardians', huh..&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt shrugs nonchalantly.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Down with the tyrant! *brick'd*

* Thomas Lazarus just =w=;'s

Aelian:<font color="#9933FF">&#171; &#160;1d20+14 = 13 + 14 = 27&#160; <font color="#9933FF">&#187; hide and &#171;  &#160;1d20+14 = 1 + 14 = 15&#160; <font color="#9933FF">&#187; move silently!

* Edaric is fine with being the meat shield. =3=;

Aelian:<font color="#9933FF">CRRREEEEEEEEAAAAKKK-

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt looks to the others to let them introduce themselves.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yes. I am Gamal-Junayd of the Vorel-Scent, now of hte Vigilant Guardians. A pleasure to make your aquaintences, all.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">Vorel-Svent you butt

VAE:<font color="#000000">or what was it

VAE:<font color="#000000">Definitely *not* Scent

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Oh yeah, and of course, Gnogglebolt -is- still loaded down and staggering under his crazy assortment of gadgets and things, if anyone takes note.

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">One of us should shove you.

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">So you're on your back.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">svent

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">Like a turtle.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Like a turtle?

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">--pfft. x3

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Could happen.

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;Swallowtail. Piacere.&quot; The ninja bows.

* Tomiko Lazarus is eating a trail bar and looking at the hounds with the most incredulous look.

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Why're your dogs green?&quot; Munch munch.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Aaand Schrodinger-Shankfang hugs for all.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">:B

Malachite:<font color="#000000"><i>Oooooh. A little green lizard.

</i> Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">He may or may not be knocked flat on his ass.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">In a place of relative safety, Gnogglebolt lets Snarky peek his head out of his vest lapel.

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">(&quot;Oh, right, daddy, meet the whole group. Thomas, you know, Swallowtail our ninja, Gamal the swordsman, Edaric our bard, Gnogglebolt the gnome who makes things that explode, and oh! Aelian! Get up here!&quot;

Snarky:<font color="#000000">Inquisitive lizardy lookout. :.

Aelian: <font color="#9933FF">&quot;Edaric, does the bell toll for me?&quot;

<font color="#9933FF"> =3=;;;;

Malachite:<font color="#000000">The little coppery dragon flits down and hovers near Gnogglebolt. Hello~

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">The ninja gets a return nod of acknowledgement.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt's eyes widen as he 'hears' the tiny dragon's voice in his mind...like that Eyrines

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">He can tell the difference, though.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Uh...Hello, little dragon.&quot;

Raerarael Eyllisaearsithek:<font color="#000000">&quot;And ''cooshee? Tinuamin, you didn't tell me you had cooshee!''&quot; :D

* Thomas Lazarus looks back at Ed and Aelian.

Snarky:<font color="#000000">Snarky leans out his--er, I mean. Her head forward more. :.

Malachite:<font color="#000000"><i>Huh? Oh, no, not you, I'm talkin' to your lizard!

</i> VAE:<font color="#000000">Erinyes.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">(I forgot Snarky was determined as a she ^^; )

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">(&quot;Oh, fires, I totally forgot. That's Amadre, and Tavia, who is bonded with Aelian!&quot;)

Tavia:<font color="#9933FF">Sniff. o.o. Sniff sniff. Yup, you're an elf. LICK!

Snarky:<font color="#000000">Snarky leeeeans forward more...until her nose is just touching the hovering dragon's nose.

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot; He seems distracted by dogs at the moment... well? You'll need to meet him sooner or later. &quot;

Snarky:<font color="#000000">Spark!

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;...&quot; Thomas offers Aelian a pitteous smile.

Aelian: <font color="#9933FF">&quot;You have to promise to bring my body home.&quot;

<font color="#9933FF"> =3=;;

* Tomiko Lazarus follows the attention cluelessly. &quot;?&quot;

Malachite:<font color="#000000">You get a little bit of mental static. Ow!

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;Our catfolk bought them for her. She found a breeder in Castleton, could probably buy a pup and send it to you.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;Oh look, Tathi, I gave you an idea for his next birthday present.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot; You're not gonna die. If Tathi cares for you at all, she won't let that happen. &quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Snarky does that.&quot; Gnogglebolt grins at the little dragon.

Snarky:<font color="#000000">Snarky smugly crawls out of Gnogglebolt's vest and perches around his neck.

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;--Ahhhahahah! Ohhh, wait, I know; that's the guy.&quot; She says in amusement towards Aelian. |D

VAE:<font color="#000000">As an aside.

Aelian: <font color="#9933FF">&quot;Promise me!!&quot;

<font color="#9933FF"> =3=;;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot; That's the guy.&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#9933FF">Annnnd he walks down death's alley. ^^;

VAE:<font color="#000000">Given the.. tension, said weakly, in between them... Igor, Shey, and Lucille, that summoner lady are basically the quirky miniboss squad.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">*snrk*

Glitch:<font color="#000000">&quot;Okay, I think I got this one.&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#9933FF">Aelian ( somewhat timidly ) clears his throat as he approaches.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">&quot;Pretty one, stupid one, one with weird powers.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">yes.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">--holy shit that fits

Malachite:<font color="#000000"><i>Oo. Nice hair.

</i> VAE:<font color="#000000">Yes.

VAE:<font color="#000000">A calm blood mage always dripping, a bard that seems as likely to turn on his allies as on his foes, and a sanctioned summoner that can barely control her summon

Raerarael Eyllisaearsithek:<font color="#000000">The elf looks up after getting dog-slobbered. |D ... Srs! :| &quot;... So. You're courting my daughter?&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus would be munching popcorn watching this, if he had any. &gt;:O

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;Actually, they're married.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot; Should I say something?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;Didn't they mention that?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">And he ducks behind a stall.

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot; ... Ael...? Is that true? &quot;

* Tomiko Lazarus is just grinning maliciously. &gt;83

Aelian:<font color="#9933FF"><b>OH EHLONNA

</b>- I mean- &quot;Yes sir, I'm Aelian Cyadarith.&quot; He says, and extends his hand. NO YOU FOOL SHOCKING GRASP-

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt just sighs and rolls his eyes, waiting for this to be over so the important business can be hand.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Srs bsns gnome. :B

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">Tathi rolls her eyes. &quot;Ignore the drow. The other one.&quot;

* Raerarael Eyllisaearsithek looks over Aelian... then grins and shakes hands -- oh wait OH NO WAS THAT A SHOCK --

Raerarael Eyllisaearsithek:<font color="#000000">... just a bit of static, whew! Except now your topknot's poofed out. |3

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">*munch munch* Yer ninja's one of them.. cosplayers? =3= *bricked*

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">*dusts palms* =3=

Aelian:<font color="#9933FF">Weeellll I didn't need those 7 years of lifespan anyway. X_@;;;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">Raerarael gets a prod in the size. &quot;That was mean, Daddy.&quot; &gt;:P

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot; You okay? Breathe. &quot; ^^;

Glitch:<font color="#000000">...in his 'size'?

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">ack, side.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">thought so. :B

* Raerarael Eyllisaearsithek laughs! &quot;If he's looking to become a part of the family, tinuamin, he'll need to be able to put up with tricks!&quot; |D

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;....Alright. All all introductions complete?&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Gnogglebolt, patience!!&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Everyone met everyone else in person now?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt just sighs again.

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Ohhh, you should have seen him quiver for the past couple of weeks.&quot; Tathi says, grinning.

Altonor:<font color="#000000">&quot;Not quite... the Moscran mummer is new to me. Gamal-Junayd of the Vorel-Svent, you said?&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#9933FF">&quot; Oh my god I'm still alive. &quot; Aelian mutters, smiling sheepishly.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yes.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot; You're still alive! &quot; :3

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Don't ask him to take off the wraps.&quot; Gnogglebolt chimes.

Aelian:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Pleasure to meet you, sir.&quot; He says.. while gingerly shaking his wrist. |D;

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Catch your breath, Mazian. This war didn't just start when you arrived, you know. You all took your sweet ass time getting here. The forces that be have been scrambling trying to get this sorted out for months.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">Tathi snickers! &quot;Wait until he meets Mom!!&quot;

* Tomiko Lazarus pauses her snack and points square at Ed.

Altonor:<font color="#000000">&quot;Wouldn't dream of it. I've heard of the Moscran Sirocco. Four Beasts adept, right?&quot;

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;And you?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Well, miss Lazarus, we as I was trying to tell you earlier, we did find out information just this morning that could have helped you months ago.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Edaric Tonmor. I'm the entertainment.&quot; Ed bows. |3

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;By the by, have you had any contact with her, daddy? I've been so preoccupied scrying you that I never got in contact with her.&quot;

* Tomiko Lazarus smiles in return. Point swept to Sszeyl. &quot;You?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Forgive me for my urges to fix broken things when I see them. Up to and including bridges.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Aye. a mix of fire and air styles, my mother wasn't a moscarran.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">Moscran*

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;Sszeyl. Terror. Fundamentalist. Possessed by a dragon. Kind of a jerk, all things considered. I'm all angsty because I'll cease to exist once I die.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;Pleasure to meet you.&quot;

* Tomiko Lazarus offers one subdued laugh. &quot;I see. Not one to mince words on your life story.&quot;

Altonor:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hmm, the bards need correction, then.&quot; :3 &quot;Altonor. No house.&quot;

* Kep'salion nudges the drow.

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;My life story starts with being almost sold to slavery, so no, I don't. :b&quot;

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Well... you all know me. As does everyone in the city, it seems.&quot; She recounts with pride.

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;So consider introductions introduced.&quot;

Altonor:<font color="#000000">&quot;And this pushy fellow is Kep'salion.&quot; |D The pegasus' nose is stroked.

* Tathi waits for a response. :)

* Kep'salion leans his head over Altonor's shoulder. Better. |D

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;So. What is it that you've got such a fire under your ass about?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Those black-cloak-steel-mask people.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;We did successfully establish relations with them.&quot;

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Oh, yeah? What's their deal?&quot;

Raerarael Eyllisaearsithek:<font color="#000000">&quot;The last I heard from her was about a month ago... still watching the tomb, last I knew.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;They're the Pelorites.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;And the remaining uncorrupted Mace.&quot;

Raerarael Eyllisaearsithek:<font color="#000000">&quot;-- Really?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;They've been looking for you.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Especially him.&quot; Gnogglebolt points to Altonor.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;The commander-in-exile wants to get back in contact with you.&quot;

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Guess that means we're doing a better job of not being found than expected.&quot; &gt;|3

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Well, I really can't blame her for that.. It's not like we could just move the crypts... Or.. COULD we..?&quot; She says, and uh oh.. Tathi's getting that mad wizard look.

VAE:<font color="#000000">oh Ghost

VAE:<font color="#000000">What's Shey's allignment?

Altonor:<font color="#000000">&quot;I got in touch with Lyle earlier today -- he didn't mention anything about the black cloaks, though.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;They've been protecting the Pelor temple this whole time, and smuggling their supplies through it.&quot;

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">NG

VAE:<font color="#000000">hwh

VAE:<font color="#000000">he

VAE:<font color="#000000">heheeh

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Unfortunately, that temple is going to be destroyed in three days if we don't do something fast.&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Reasonable Good. :B

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;It got visted by one of the Devils.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">See, I was discussing what happened with Saph, and he went &quot; You know what'd be hillarious? Lawful Good Cop, Lawful Evil Cop&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">and well - the erinyes was LE, Igor was LN , and ... eh.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;At any rate, they've been doing their damndest to collect all their allies. That means you three.&quot;

Raerarael Eyllisaearsithek:<font color="#000000">&quot;Destroyed?! What kind of madness -- how would they even sell that to the people, never mind the absolute moral reprehensibility of it all?&quot; &gt;:E

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;Shortly after she left, Thomas channeled Tomiko and nearly bodily assaulted another inquisitor that was being stupid.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;They're also housing the surviving Olidamarrans.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;It was both fun and terrifying to behold.&quot;

Raerarael Eyllisaearsithek:<font color="#000000">&quot;The Pelorites are champions of the common good!&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;They said they tried to look for the Kordites, but the Kordites have vanished entirely.&quot;

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">You don't even know me. :T

Altonor:<font color="#000000">&quot;What? No they haven't.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">I know -of- you.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Maybe because it won't be destroyed, just investigated by force?

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;It's true daddy.. Not even a day here, and I can see that only the fiends are in charge here. I half want to storm the Count's manor right now.&quot;

Altonor:<font color="#000000">&quot;We were just visiting them.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Huh?&quot; Gnogglebolt looks at Altonor.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;--Are you serious?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;The Pelorites have been looking everywhere for them!&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;They need their help!&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;well..if we can get the kordites into the pelorite temple, that'd help int he event of any battle.&quot;

* Altonor points at the Lazaruses. &quot;Ask her, she beat a few of them in arm-wrestling contests.&quot;

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;They're swell guys.&quot; |3

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Right. So. Before moving on...one more thing I want to clear up.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Mister Ellisaersithek?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;What's this about you not wanting to go to the temple earlier because you didn't want to let Altonor here out of your sight? Why, it would have been perfect if you brought him there.&quot;

Altonor:<font color="#000000">&quot;They are, aren't they?&quot; |D &quot;Been hiding out with them.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;We need to get you all back in contact with each other to pool resources and intelligence.&quot;

Raerarael Eyllisaearsithek:<font color="#000000">&quot;Not until I talked to my daughter.&quot;

* Raerarael Eyllisaearsithek turns back to Tathi and points at the drow. &quot;What's the story?&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">Tathi just snickers, and rolls her eyes. &quot;See, that's just my dad being his silly, stubbern self. You need to pull him by the ears if you want him to go someplace.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">Tathi glances over at her father.

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;I suppose it's about time you hear the story of the Raiders, hrm?&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus sighs lightly and rubs the back of his neck. &quot; This would've been impossible with brother Miron here.. =w=;;&quot;

You whisper to VAE: Get ready. :3

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot; Tell me about it.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;I don't suppose one of our Wizards can Mind-link these two together so we can save on exposition?&quot;

VAE whispers: As long as I get a token...

You whisper to VAE: You will, when they port in. :3

VAE whispers: Though, by and proper...there should have been at least some discussion gone on among them so everyone knows their arse from a hole in the ground

Teeny Rin:<font color="#FF0000">I don't see any wizards. These people are guns shaped like elves.

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Where to start...&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;I believe they began as raiders sent by those spider cults at first..&quot;

VAE whispers: They are tracking Altonor, that much I know. Anything else that I need a fill-in?

* Tomiko Lazarus handwaves. &quot;It's not that we haven't heard it..&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;But, being entirely male and not interested in serving the female-dominated clergy in the slightest, they.. deviated. Just a little.&quot;

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..Well.. I heard it..&quot;

* Tomiko Lazarus gives Raerarael a look.

You whisper to VAE: That's about it you need to know. They're finally gonna catch that pegasus bastard at last! &gt;:| The plan is, teleport, cast right away.

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Enough to the point where they basically took the chance and escaped from the lolthian culture entirely.&quot;

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Not sure anyone else did.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Over time.. they've been exposed to surface culture more and more, and, well.. Altonar here is a prime example. He's a paladin, daddy.&quot;

VAE whispers: Great. Authorised on charges of conspiracy and sabotage under the law of Braxton Falls.

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">Not. Saying. Anything.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">I just realized Raer is totally surrounded.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">I hope he doesn't cast Sound Burst or something. :B

Raerarael Eyllisaearsithek:<font color="#000000">&quot;It's different hearing it from a lying-prone plotting-prone drow and your own daughter.&quot; Raerarael holds up his hands defensively. 9_9

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;I think they're prime examples, no, evidence that the drow aren't completely lost to us. There may be a chance of salvation.&quot;

VAE whispers: Who's leading the operation, and how many are there? And what are the assigned roles?

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;You're hopeless.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Sounds about right.&quot; Tathi says, smirking at Tomiko.

You whisper to VAE: Gradia, a monk who's yet unnamed, and Miron.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Why, we even found an old Drow-aspect figurine of Corellon.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;But that'

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;But that's another story.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;Gods forbid -my- culture's contributions to Drow progressivism.&quot;

VAE whispers: Good.

You whisper to Ghostwish: Did Tathi set up scrying detection today?

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Oh yes Sszeyl. How very lovely. A fractional, insignificant recovery. I would golf clap, really.&quot; She says oh so very dryly.

Tathi whispers: I keep forgetting to hit my macro. ^^; it's part of her morning routine.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hey now, we have enough fiends of hate outside of this building.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Let's not create any in here.&quot;

You whisper to Ghostwish: Ping, ping! Two scrying sensors just popped up on Tathi's scry-dar.

Sszeyl: <font color="#CC0066">&quot;Because the Raiders have a city-state to fall back to, or rebuild society from.&quot;

Sszeyl: <font color="#CC0066">&quot;Oh wait.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;QUIET!!!!!!!&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Scrying!!&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...Anyway. Mister Ellisaers--what?&quot;

* Tomiko Lazarus looks as though she has approximately her fill of elves.

* Malachite glances around, tail twitching. &gt;:|

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">Tathi immediately starts a detect magic spell.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Hold it, one moment.

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;She says quiet by screaming it.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&gt;:. !

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt holds his breath tensely, waiting for Tathi to report.

You whisper to Ghostwish: You know one of them popped up in the stable near Kep'salion, and the other one is hovering near the ceiling. Now roll CL checks versus &#171;&#160;1d20+14 = 9 + 14 = 23&#160;&#187; and &#171;&#160;1d20+9 = 1 + 9 = 10&#160;&#187;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&#171; &#160;1d20+10 = 6 + 10 = 16&#160; <font color="#9933FF">&#187; caster check! +1 if it's evocation! +4 to overcome spell resistence!

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&#171; &#160;1d20+10 = 1 + 10 = 11&#160; <font color="#9933FF">&#187; caster check! +1 if it's evocation! +4 to overcome spell resistence!

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">WALP.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">x3

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;There, one near Kep'Salion, and one up there by the ceiling!&quot;

You whisper to Ghostwish: Well, no dice on the one which just vanished near the ceiling, but the one fading behind Kep'salion? You saw an image of a prim and proper halfling in a dress...

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Can you do anything about it?&quot; Gnogglebolt says tensely as he dives around a stall wall.

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Two? For fuck's sakes.&quot; She scowls up.

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Auuuugh. the one near the ceiling is gone. I'm looking at a halfing, prim and proper, in a dress for the one that just faded from Kep'Salion..&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">Tathi curses. &quot;Blasted scry shielding..&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..............&quot; He looks baffled.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Gradia? Here? Now?&quot; O_o

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...Vigilant Guardians, we have a problem. We knew that the one E--wait....&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">Tathi blinks. &quot;Who?&quot;

GM:<font color="#000000">BANG. The front and back doors just shook.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Wasn't...Wasn't Gradia that lady from...&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus rubs his forehead. &quot;... Braxton falls agent --&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;Oh look.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;Time to murder people.&quot;

* Altonor draws his scimitar and gets between the PCs and the door. &gt;:|

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Evacuate!&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;Let's go do that.&quot;

* Gamal-Junayd draws his weapons

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt jumps out of the stall with Soakifyer at the ready.

* Tomiko Lazarus slips off her perch, looking stoic for the moment.

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Yee!&quot; Tathi exclaims, and goes into a battle stance as Kor scuttles into her hood.

* Tomiko Lazarus rubs her knuckles.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Where to, mister Elli?&quot;

Sszeyl whispers: ''You've got your wish. Access the occular nerve to enjoy the show.''

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;We need an exit, now!&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;To hell with exits. I say we stand and fight!&quot;

GM:<font color="#000000">&quot;RAERARAEL EYLLISAEARSITHEK, TOMIKO LAZARUS, AND PEGASUS-RIDER. WE HAVE YOU SURROUNDED. SURRENDER NOW OR WE WILL ARREST YOU BY FORCE.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;Well.&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#9933FF">Aelian draws his bow and nocks an arrow with a determined look on his face.

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;If we're really going to exit.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;How about those of us who can fly break through the ceiling?&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Any teleports? If we get the three they expect out, the rest of us might be able to bluff our way out&quot;

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;You will settle down.&quot; She remarks back to Gnogglebolt, then looks to the doors. &quot;..And see how we do things here in Yoriver. Our style.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hey, Altonor!&quot; Gnogglebolt calls over to the paladin. He pulls something from his belt and throws it to the man.

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Ohh, I think I am going to like this..&quot; Tathi says with a grin.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">It's a tanglefoot bag.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Good luck!&quot;

Dark-Haired Half-Elf:<font color="#000000">BANG. The door flies open -- just as a shimmer in the air appears in a stall.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">--what. Where did Miron's token come from.

VAE whispers: How many of them are melee?

Miron:<font color="#000000">I came from the skies.

Gradia Thorngage:<font color="#000000">&quot;CASTERS! FIRE!&quot;

Glitch:<font color="#000000">...wait, did HE just teleport in?! O.o

VAE:<font color="#000000">Yep, mass teleport.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt's jaw drops as there are the pops of teleportation all around and someone starts firing...on their side.

* Thomas Lazarus looks around in total bewilderment! &quot;What in the world?!&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;What the -- ?!&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Or, wait.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Who's being fired at?

Gradia Thorngage:<font color="#000000">Well, Miron, are you going? We're kind of in init limbo.

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">Dude. Calm down for like.. 2 seconds. XP

Miron:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+0 = 18 + 0 = 18&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; Init

Gradia Thorngage:<font color="#000000">Miron.

Gradia Thorngage:<font color="#000000">Cast a spell if you're going to. XP

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Yeah. :B

VAE:<font color="#000000">Moment, writing it up.

VAE:<font color="#000000">I have written up a buff before

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;Oh, hey Miron. Halfling lady. Human person I don't know.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;And an elf!&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;Lovely.&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Spot checks while that happens? :3

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Spot: &#171; &#160;1d20+5 = 9 + 5 = 14&#160; <font color="#FF0000">&#187; Listen: &#171;  &#160;1d20+5 = 19 + 5 = 24&#160; <font color="#FF0000">&#187;

Aelian:<font color="#9933FF">Hey I already spotted my life flashing before my eyes just a second ago..

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Just just blew both your -good- rolls.

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">why do you care?

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">dice cultism is not cool or nerdy.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">That is not how probability works. That is how pissing around wasting everyone's time works. :B

You whisper to Dr. Hatari: And if that doesn't make matters worse, you both just heard something from behind the counter to the south.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">I mean, he wants to keep them that way, fine, I'm just asking why.

You whisper to Ghostwish: And if that doesn't make matters worse, Aelian just saw something behind the counter to the south move.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">(I don't know how it's seeded, but considering MT is only a pseudorandom generator...

* Thomas Lazarus grabs his blade. &quot;More..!&quot; He looks southwest.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">(just a thought.)

Aelian:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;South! Behind the counter!&quot; Aelian warns.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Because I have a notice macro.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">It supplies all my spot, listen, or spot+listen needs.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">*Shrug* Alright, alright. Not making a big deal out of it.

Dark-Haired Half-Elf:<font color="#000000">&quot;What the -- who --?!&quot;

Glitch:<font color="#000000">It was -just- a question.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">I wonder if you envy my ability to be satisfied by that, like an undead envies the living. :B

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;For it is written the earth itself shall tremble and spit fire the lawless and unholy, I command in Saint Cuthbert's holy name... BREAK&quot; The short inquisitor punches the ground where he's standing.... and a massive inferno surges from the ground.&quot;

* Glitch holds breath to see who the target is. :x

VAE:<font color="#000000">Mainly, Altonor, Raerael, Horse

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Oh fuck.

Gradia Thorngage:<font color="#000000">&quot;By Saint Cuthbert's holy grasp, the wicked shall be crushed!&quot;

Altonor:<font color="#000000">Roll it!

VAE:<font color="#000000">Operation Clusterfuck

* Glitch bounces in chair while waiting for spells to resolve before he can post his line. :B

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;I hope you're happy, human I'm assigning blame to because I like Miron more than you.&quot;

* Altonor weathers the blast without a single scorchmark.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">So, was it just those few? And not the drawn template?

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Because the template is the whole party save Lazaruses.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">yeah I think that's combat start. I have an inquisitor to knock out

Ghostwish whispers: I saw that. :P

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">And since I have Evasion, fuck you, Mironspell.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">And the damage? Is that halved or not?

Raerarael Eyllisaearsithek:<font color="#000000">&quot;-- Ada?!&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Just lemme know when I can take -an- action, Lia, whether there will be &quot;real&quot; combat or not.

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;Oh yeah, and nearly being killed in the crossfire of two forces in the middle of Fiend-infested towns.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;We should all be running right now.&quot;

* Edaric shouts from the floor, &quot;What the hell is going on here?!&quot; DX

Dark-Haired Half-Elf:<font color="#000000">&quot;-- Braxtons?!&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;There will be no running from this..&quot; Tathi seethes.. &quot;First, Miron dies.. then.. Braxton falls burns to the ground!!&quot; She yells.

Dark-Haired Half-Elf:<font color="#000000">&quot;Butt out, Braxtons! These were our targets!&quot; &gt;:E

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;What the fuck? Who are you?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;This is Leaden Mace business!&quot;

Gradia Thorngage:<font color="#000000">&quot;Were being the operative phrase --&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;Ladies, ladies. Please.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;As a neutral party who doesn't care who makes the kill.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;I have a propsal.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Sszeyl, this doesn't concern you, get the fuck out.&quot;

Dark-Haired Half-Elf:<font color="#000000">&quot;THIS is Leaden Mace business!&quot; says the badge-wearing half-elf.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Has enough dialogue passed for an action to be taken?

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;I call my plan 'angry wizard with evocation specialties.'&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">I'm going to assume there has been at this point.

GM:<font color="#000000">Yes, I'd say so, you've been patient.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Who the fuck are you? Who'd your commander?&quot;

GM:<font color="#000000">One action.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;And who the fuck are you after?&quot;

Dark-Haired Half-Elf:<font color="#000000">&quot;Charles Whitaker of Yoriver! You stand on his jurisdiction! BUG OFF!&quot; &gt;:E

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Good enough. The Soakifyer falls from Gnogglebolt's hand as he whips out his Omniwrench.

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">if gnogglebolt doesn't have quick draw that was his action!!! :3

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">BANG. &#171; &#160;1d20+9 = 18 + 9 = 27&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;...at Miron.

VAE whispers: Braxton's commander? Argh

GM:<font color="#000000">Ghost does have a point.

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;Oh, he's a Yoriver inquisitor?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;'FOOL! IDIOT! IMBICLE! DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT YOU'VE DONE?&quot;'

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;Everyone open fire on that elf! :v&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Then help us capture Altonor, and we'll deal with the formalities later.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">And I don't think Miron has 27 AC, so &#171; &#160;1d6+1d6+1d6 = 5 + 5 + 6 = 16&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; piercing damage.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Idiots are those who consort with drow and their allies.&quot;

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">Can I nom the GM for how all the NPCs are just &quot;Eh whatever&quot; as the PCs flip their shit? Can I get a second on this, Hatari? XP

Adrastea:<font color="#000000">That's about when you hear a voice in your heads...

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Tom raises his hands and invokes a healing spell! D: A blue pulse rocks outwards as Tom attempts to undo the injuries just suffered. Cure Light Wounds, Mass: &#171; &#160;1d8+11 = 8 + 11 = 19&#160; <font color="#FF0000">&#187;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066"><i>Varige? Want to play with this one?

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">Oh boy.Liatai's getting revenge on me for Cold War. XP

Miron:<font color="#000000">... what the fuck.

* Gamal-Junayd is just in limbo cause instead of shouting he'd be dance and attacking things at the moment

Adrastea:<font color="#000000"><i>So here you are, little criminals. You won't escape justice this time. None of you will.

</i> Miron:<font color="#000000">Miron is just staring.. ''This isn't the bike... ''

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">At any rate, even -if- there's the no quickdraw thing, that's -more- than enough dialogue for a full turn. So yeah. Gnogglebolt shoots Miron.

* Thomas Lazarus roars down the livery, &quot;What are you DOING?!&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Unless Lia, and Lia only says a direct &quot;nosiree&quot;, I'm keeping that.

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">Do it, liatai. Nosiree him. &gt;:3

Miron:<font color="#000000">Miron bends over, his robe's front torn in a number of places, and blood soaks through.

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;Can we save the murdering each other for later?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;9+19 = 9 + 19 = 28&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

GM:<font color="#000000">Calculating, please hold.

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;There are some perfectly corrupt Macers right there with a fiend backing them up.&quot;

GM:<font color="#000000">Please. Hold.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Holding!

* You roll to yourself: 38+19 =&gt; 38 + 19 = 57Drow Magus:<font color="#000000">&quot;Friendly fire? Now that's unprofessional.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;What is even going on here anymore?!&quot; DX

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">D8

Aelian:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;I-I'm not even sure...&quot; Aelian stammers.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Run now, think later!&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;NO. RUNNING.&quot;

Altonor:<font color="#000000">&quot;No, there's no running.&quot; Clank. The drow flips down the visor of his helm. &quot;Vi, get away from that door and get ready to blast us an exit.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">Miron straightens up, teeth clenched, and looks expectantly at Gradia.

Dark-Haired Half-Elf:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hold on now!&quot; The half-elven inquisitor almost sounds whiny. &quot;This was our arrest!&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;It doesn't matter, for fuck's sake. He's plenty of work for all of us.. my spell didn't even scratch the spiderfucking fuck.&quot;

Adrastea:<font color="#000000"><i>Stand down, inquisitors, unless you want your badges taken.

</i> Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;We'll cut our way through the devil's servents, and deal with the idiot traitors later.&quot;

<font color="#0000ff"><i>RAM has connected.

</i> Aelian:<font color="#9933FF">Oh gods now I want to ask for an action just to have Aelian pop him with some arrows. XP

Dr. Hatari whispers: Maybe we should be in purely plot-based initiative. :B *bricked*

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Help us, for fuck's sake. We're inquisitors just like you.&quot;

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Oh, hello Ram.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">I'll whisper exposition to you.

RAM:<font color="#990000">Blaaargh. =3=

Glitch:<font color="#000000">We're kind of in the middle of something.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Where were you? :.

RAM:<font color="#990000">Internet crapped out.

Adrastea:<font color="#000000"><i>You are with us or against us. MOVE.

</i> VAE:<font color="#000000">Operation Clusterfuck RAM

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;So you serve devils just like them, do you Miron?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;They... &quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Devil is the one in front of you. A spiderfucking devil the likes of whom have murdered my people by the dozen.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;That stunted idiot doesn't care who he serves. So long as they're the authority so he can feel right about himself.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;They serve devils. they watched while a devil attacked a celstial inside pelor's church, and tried to claim it was an angel. &quot;

GM:<font color="#000000">Unfortunately... it's about time we ended the session for the night. Wrap up this scene.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;If you are with them. then you have forever forsaken the path of justice.&quot;

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">Wrap it up!? The only end I see here is a lot of dead leaden mace. XP

Adrastea:<font color="#000000"><i>You have six seconds,

</i> a voice says in the back of your mind.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">But it's session 100, let's get actual closure pleasepleaseplease this scene has been confusing XP

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Have some reason folks.... we're on your side...&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Miron, you are marked for death. Run as fast and as far as you want, I am going to hunt you down!!&quot;

Glitch:<font color="#000000">YES.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Agree with Ghost and Hatari.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">End this scene completely first.

Adrastea:<font color="#000000"><i>Stand down, or you stand with them and wil be treated as such.

</i> Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;What the fuck do we do now, Gradia?&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Make your choice. You serve devils with those outside..or you fight them with those of us in here. It's actually a very...black and white choice.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Miron..&quot; He's almost too stunned for words.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Either that or start the battle. :B Either works, not asking for anything in particular.

Aelian:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;To hell with you, Miron. You will only know justice when it breaks you down as you deserve.&quot;

Gradia Thorngage:<font color="#000000">&quot;Find that telepath!&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Tom.. you're with them too...&quot;

Sszeyl whispers: You want to vent some hate on this pretencious harpy?

VAE:<font color="#000000">As a note..

VAE:<font color="#000000">how *would* you find a telepath

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;KILL THAT INGNOMISH TRAITOR!!&quot; Tathi yells!

* Thomas Lazarus throws an arm outward and shouts, &quot;OF COURSE I AM WITH THEM! I AM DOING WHAT WE SWORE VOWS TO DO! TO FIGHT REAL TYRANNY AND INJUSTICE AND DESTROY EVIL UNDER WHATEVER GUISE IT TAKES, WITH NO QUARTER! NOT TOLERATING DEVILS!&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;With a choice like this, it's somethign each makes for themselves, authority be damned. especially when your so called authority is under their sway.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;WHAT ARE YOU DOING, BROTHER?!&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt has raging, tearful fury in his eyes. So, it has come to this.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;I'm here to arrest Altonor.. what the FUCK are you doing with the traitors... and why aren't .. why are our own folks ....&quot;

* Tomiko Lazarus seems anticlimactically confused to all hell. =3=; *bricked*

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;Altonor is currenlty trying to help fight the Devils.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;You just NEARLY BLEW US ALL UP!&quot; &gt;:|

Gradia Thorngage:<font color="#000000">&quot;Devils -- what are you talking about, 'serving devils?' Report, inquisitor -- and do it quickly.&quot;

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">Soooo is this a battle or not. |D

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;Who are scheduled to murder everyone in the local Pelor temple.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;In three days.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">which is bullshit btw

* Thomas Lazarus throws an arm north. &quot;THE TELEPATH IS A BAATEZU ERINYES COMMANDING THE YORIVER AGENTS!&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">so gradia, roll Sense Motive, I guess

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">What is bullshit? |.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;. . .&quot;

Gradia Thorngage:<font color="#000000">You do not tell me what to do, inquisitor. :|

VAE:<font color="#000000">They won't raze the place

VAE:<font color="#000000">they'll enter by force, and investigate. That was the ultimatum

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">You don't know Evil people well, do you?

* VAE delivered it !

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Danman, you don't know Devils--yeah. :B

VAE:<font color="#000000">Eh. Sanctioned Summoner. Besides, most aren't thralls.

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">Some.

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">Some aren't thralls.

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Idiots!! I knew from the start that the Leaden Mace was a worthless organization!! Blind to justice! Blind to reason! Just law! Law! Law! Worthless, hopeless law! I will see this organization destroyed for this!&quot;

Gradia Thorngage:<font color="#000000">&quot;-- I would doubt you were it not for the hateful voice in the back of my mind, inquisitor. ''Inquisitors! We have a perogative to destroy fiends.''&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;Someone knock Tathi out of her bloodrage.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;Before she says something technically treasonous.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">She's having her period

Gradia Thorngage:<font color="#000000">&quot;Destroy the fiends, capture the drow afterward!&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">In elves, it lasts for a month

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">If Tathi hadn't taken the words right out of his mouth, Gnogglebolt clearly looks to be with her.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;As ordered.&quot;

RAM:<font color="#990000">Ugh, that took forever to load.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">*snrk*

Glitch:<font color="#000000">...Oh. Now you're -actually- here. Did you get my whispered exposition? :B

RAM:<font color="#990000">...I don't even know which map we're on.

Drow Magus:<font color="#000000">&quot;Now that that's sorted, we have flames at the southern door.&quot;

RAM:<font color="#990000">And yes, I did.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Livery Stable

Aelian:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Flames? What flames?&quot;

RAM:<font color="#990000">...Time to load another map. =3=

Altonor:<font color="#000000">&quot;Not just southern. Get ready!&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hI9QSZUQLtk

VAE:<font color="#000000">Miron theme for the moment

GM:<font color="#000000">You may take one round to buff, set up shields, what have you.

VAE:<font color="#000000">argh nope

Sszeyl whispers: ''Drat. I think the harpy isn't listening in anymore. Let me know if you want to say something when she's back, though.''

VAE:<font color="#000000">wrong song

Glitch:<font color="#000000">...Actually, I think that works pretty well.

RAM:<font color="#990000">There we go.

VAE:<font color="#000000">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8RxZsC9xolY

VAE:<font color="#000000">no, this does

VAE:<font color="#000000">listen to it

* Tomiko Lazarus squints about in increasing bewilderment. &quot;......&quot; She looks to Thomas.

VAE:<font color="#000000">I have mentioned it earlier. Both melody and text.

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;... span&gt;

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Well that formated oddly.

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;... Wat.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt gets his bombchucker prepared and properly loads it (he unloaded it from earlier)

* Hooded Drow advances, and those near her suddenly feel as though they can spot weaknesses in their enemies' defenses more easily. She brandishes two scimitars.

* Gamal-Junayd is ready with his scimitars as well

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;--I HAVE NO IDEA!&quot; Dx

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;I see fiends.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;Murdering time, people.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066"><b>&quot;Let's have us some fun.&quot;

</b> * Edaric rights himself and unslings his lute, beginning an Inspire Courage refrain -- +2 bonus to attack, damage, and saves against fear!

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">Tathi gives out a quick shot, throwing her hands up, and everyone within 50 feet of her, as long as they're not more than 30 feet apart, gains a fiery halo over their bodies! Strike us now, suckers.

RAM:<font color="#990000">...So, did I -not- miss the fighting? :O

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">Nope.

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">Yeah that's everyone.

VAE:<font color="#000000">You missed the crack team from Braxton

RAM:<font color="#990000">&gt;:D

VAE:<font color="#000000">burning up half the stable

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">*crack-smoking team

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">Sszeyl takes his place along the northern blockade.

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">who are about to die, likely.

RAM:<font color="#990000">But we still have fighting to do?! :O

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">Not this session.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Possibly!? :B

Drow Magus:<font color="#000000">The drow snaps his fingers, stepping closer, and Tathi's blaze is joined by crackling electricity. &quot;These are baatezu, dear.&quot; ^^

Hooded Drow:<font color="#000000">Unknown drow buff is Island of Blades, by the way. A stance.

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;The difference being so important right now.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;I know that. They like fire! As in using it!&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">And the Magus buff?

* Tomiko Lazarus points a finger off slowly at the new drow, then the Braxton folks. &quot;...&quot;

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;You all confuse me. You will wait.&quot;

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..But down here? I hear devils.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">so is it cold fire shield then?

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;Oh by the way.&quot;

Drow Magus:<font color="#000000">&quot;Valid point. Carry on.&quot; Mass Fire Shield (electricity variant).

RAM:<font color="#990000">Okay, really quick.

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;Don't expect them not to come through the ceiling.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Who do I shoot? &gt;:3

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;It's what? Thatch?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">We don't know! D: Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">SHOOT EVERYBODY?! &gt;:D

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Tch-- fine!&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">Chill Shield: The flames are cool to the touch. You take only half damage from fire-based attacks. If such an attack allows a Reflex save for half damage, you take no damage on a successful save.

* Thomas Lazarus grips his holy symbols and murmurs a prayer. There's a battle to come, some way or another.

* Shankfang the Deffrider loads up Rose and activates the enchantments, causing the vines and roses to light up in anticipation of battle. &gt;:3

Altonor:<font color="#000000">Ready for another buff? Altonor shifts stance -- &quot;COME ON!&quot; &gt;:D Everyone gains a +2 morale bonus on Will saves -- and if that wasn't enough, if you're within 10 feet of him, you gain a +4 bonus on saves versus compulsion effects.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">I'm running out of space to wite buffs down her. :B

Glitch:<font color="#000000">*write

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Extend south VBL plz? :B

* Raerarael Eyllisaearsithek snaps his fingers and shots an arcane phrase, and suddenly there are many of him.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Thank ya kindly.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Hmm, now where to set up position...

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Which enemies are where?

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Most are to the north now, I believe.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Half of the enemies just switched sides. Sort of.

* Tomiko Lazarus exhales slowly and closes her eyes. She holds her palms out pointed to the ground and seems to be a bastion of serenity and focus ... for the moment.

Miron:<font color="#000000">Miron is pale, breathing heavily. &quot;You have.. have he..rd orders Orders of of Se. analyst Thorngage. Take down .. the devils.. and the drow.. later&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">North, got it.

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">Also he's breathing heavily.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">-- I can't see past the buffs! XD

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Kill these lead head fools! All of them!&quot; She says, and shoots a look back. &quot;By the way? You're not a member anymore, Thomas. At least you better not be!&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066"><i>From being shot with a blunderbuss in the stomach.

</i> Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;''..We will resolve this confusion after the battle.. and whatever may come of that then. And only then.&quot;'' He draws out his blade, and finishes his prayer.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Wait, shit there are guys to the south, too?

Modifying the fog-of-war manually without a server running affects only the global exposed area (i.e. the entire map), even if one or more tokens are selected. If you want your changes to apply to individual tokens, start a MapTool server with Individual Fog enabled (you can leave the Alias field empty to make an anonymous server, if you wish). This warning will not appear again for this campaign.

RAM:<font color="#990000">So is Tomi.

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066"><i>&quot;Tathi.&quot;

</i> Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I will gag you until you calm down, Tathi.&quot; He glares south.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;There are bigger problems.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">The Drow looks back. Red eyed a moment. &quot;Shut it, witch.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Oh yeah.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">But, since most people are North...

* Shankfang the Deffrider takes up a firing position to the South.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">And then he explodes into blue flames.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">we have tomiko in the south. do we need more?

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Good point.

Swallowtail:<font color="#FF0000">o_o;;;;;;

RAM:<font color="#990000">If there's several enemies, possibly.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Saint... Cuthbert. You.. who purges...purges the lawless..*cough* tainted... and unh..unholy, hear the.. the voice of Your Faithful in direst need. Fill us.. fill us with your holy wrath and.. grant us your blessings. For though thousands may stand against us, we shall fight fearless in your holy name. TO GLORY!&quot;

RAM:<font color="#990000">She's not as good against multiple enemies as single powerful targets.

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">That wasn't Vargie btw. That was just venom for -not snapping out of a team killing blood rage in the middle of combat-.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Okay, sound off. Any buffs missed?

Miron:<font color="#000000">Everyone from Braxton Falls, + Tom

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">Sszeyl just gets the finger. &quot;Auta miqula orqu!!&quot; She says!

Miron:<font color="#000000">Righteous Wrath of the Faithful

RAM:<font color="#990000">Thanks for nothing, Miron. =3=

* Tomiko Lazarus huffs in mild amusement. She lowers her hands from her remarkably zen-like pose. &quot;..Are these the folks you brought with you to 'help', Tommy?&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">hehe you aren't even there.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Now's a really lousy time for critique, sis.&quot;

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;'YER.. MINE!!&quot;'

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Actually.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">There's a DC to cast in a grapple.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Concentration, that is.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">It -does- require focus and -does- provoke AoO. And I'm not sure it can be done in grapple at alll...oh, or concentration.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Whatever it is. *looks up*

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">20 Grappling or pinned. (You can cast only spells without somatic components for which you have any required material component in hand.)

Glitch:<font color="#000000">...huh?

VAE:<font color="#000000">so much for teleporting out of a grapple

Adrastea:<font color="#000000">The erinyes looks up at Tomi calmly. ''Tomiko Angela Lazarus. Surprising, but not unexpected. This will require recalculation'' And suddenly Tomi is only holding air... OR IS SHE? Does it provoke?

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Using a spell-like ability while threatened provokes attacks of opportunity. It is possible to make a Concentration check to use a spell-like ability defensively and avoid provoking an attack of opportunity. A spell-like ability can be disrupted just as a spell can be. Spell-like abilities are subject to spell resistance and to being dispelled by dispel magic. They do not function in areas where magic is suppressed or negated.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">all I know is I looked up the action tables last session this came up, and spell-like is listed as a stabndard action that does provoke AoO.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Well I'll be. It does.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">I always thought they didn't.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">That's his attack roll. He just has the macro reference itself.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">IC-wise, I'm playing it that Gnogglebolt doesn't -really- know what he's dealing with yet, so he needs more data before he can create a grenade that actually opens rift and boots something back home, rather than just throwing out so much interfering energy it severs connections.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">it's the roll. sets it to a variable, adds it into the attack roll and then is checked for crit later

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Or someone more trigger happy will cap them.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&gt;:3

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">Vae's right. TERRIBLE THINGS.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">One of those probably.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Apparently the 'net here doesn't like me switching locations. ^^;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">If that happens, it'llprolly just be kneecaps.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">VAE: Shankfang - So, Tom, which ones do I shoot.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Anywho what'd you miss..

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">merciful time!

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Sending...

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">Ohhh, you probably walked through a dead zone. :3

VAE:<font color="#000000">Well, Altonor and Raerarael are ones &quot;helping&quot; with the yoriver conflict, too XD

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">if they werent around the count woudl of found some other excuse

Glitch whispers: * Dr. Hatari noms Tathi for impressively, seriously flipping her shit. Kill all leader mace ever? Wow. :B VAE: Shankfang - So, Tom, which ones do I shoot. VAE: Tathi: Tom, you aren't Mace anymore. Or you better not be. i.e. seconding Hatari's Liatai is disconnected. Liatai is disconnected. RAM: Hmm, thinking about taking Improved Crit next feat. I've got a x3, but I never get it because it's only on a nat 20. :B RAM: D: Glitch: AH! D: Ghostwish: Beyond all else? Number one way to get Tathi absolutely LIVID? Attack her family. It puts her in Tomiko mode. :3 Dr. Hatari: Well so much for those. =3= VAE: HOLD YOUR HORSES Gamal-Junayd: frak Ghostwish: Aw for fuck's sake. -.- Glitch: yep, IRC dc as well. Dr. Hatari: Let's give her a few. Ghostwish: Hells. Glitch: I'll send her the lines she missed. Ghostwish: Aye. RAM: Hmm... Glitch: *when she gets back VAE: as an aside.. I'd have probably nommed Lucine and the Erinyes if they weren't face down RAM: Doesn't seem like an internet fail. VAE: First one for Quirky Miniboss Squad member Glitch: and she's coming back. Dr. Hatari: Well, Lucina will probably survive. RAM: Possibly computer fail. Dr. Hatari: If mostly to get interrogated by the underground Mace so we can learn wtf. Glitch: or, no--she -almost- came back. -3- Dr. Hatari: Then get hung. |T VAE: second for &quot;I wanted to be all strategic.&quot; VAE: I know RAM: That one was interwebz fail. Glitch: Oh, by the way. * Dr. Hatari considers any further noms. VAE: I wonder what happens to the Braxton lot now Glitch: I dunno if we should say we do this now, or the beginning of next session, but. Glitch: Everyone. Coup de grace. All. The Fiends. Dr. Hatari: Well, I can tell you. RAM: Held at gunpoint? :B * VAE will be itchy until next week. There might well be another round of combat. Unless Gradia has a mass teleport ready. Liatai has connected.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Sent.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Yeah, but they're actually helping. They helped just now, too. :B

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">Well.. I'm all out of noms.. and about out of gas too. ^^;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Mmkay. I'll compile the noms this week and give them out at the beginning of next session. :3

Liatai:<font color="#000000">And EXP, too.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Welcomeback again. Did you even get the last send?

VAE:<font color="#000000">As for Raerael, he's here, fighting what up to now he'd have thought to be allies.

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">CAVING SAMPAIGN.

VAE:<font color="#000000">I mean, Miron was pretty much &quot;But you're Mace too.. why aren't you helping us arrest them.&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">I thought he meant the Yoriver guy tbh.

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">So did I. O.o

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">The half-elf in the black coat.

VAE:<font color="#000000">he did

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Eh, will presume Lia did...so sending her the rest.

VAE:<font color="#000000">yes

Liatai:<font color="#000000">I did get the first send.

VAE:<font color="#000000">That's the thing.

Glitch whispers: Glitch: Sent. Dr. Hatari: Yeah, but they're actually helping. They helped just now, too. :B Ghostwish: Well.. I'm all out of noms.. and about out of gas too. ^^; Dr. Hatari: I can barely even imagine a fictitious excuse to put against them not legitimately helping at this point. Liatai is disconnected. Liatai is disconnected. Dr. Hatari: =3= RAM: &gt;:E Ghostwish: What the flarf.. VAE: What do you mean, Hatari? Glitch: blah! VAE: Like, I .. don' t think I have interpreted it right. Dr. Hatari: That's fair, the sentance sucked VAE: as in, in the first message, what did you mean by helping Dr. Hatari: They helped us not die in the battle with fiends instead of just teleporting their shit out post-haste. :B VAE: Indeed. RAM: Not that we coulda blamed them for it if they did. Dr. Hatari: I've admittedly just kind of lost track for the reasoning Miron uses to hate them so hard. :B VAE: hate who? Dr. Hatari: Altonor and Raerarael. RAM: What with not only fiends attacking, but overzealous paranoid little fucks as well. :B VAE: Altonor.. he is implied to actually have been a soldier in Kemmer Liatai has connected.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Oh. Well then.

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">Oh well. I need sleep, like, two minutes ago.

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">Server comin' down.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Actually, I -did- catch that Miron was directing his words at Thomas. :B

VAE:<font color="#000000">Both, actually

Glitch:<font color="#000000">-I- got that. :B
