Session 50

Ghostwish has connected.

Liatai:Thank you muchly :D

Ghostwish:Welcome. ^_^

Ghostwish:Sooo... parallel universes? :&gt;

Liatai:Aye. :3 Yea/nay/maybe?

Ghostwish:Very much Yea. The chance of shennigans are near endless. :&gt;

Liatai:Indeed they are. x3!

Liatai:I'm already planning to have Salishea make a throwaway reference to a paladin of Tamara undergoing some sort of spiritual purification quest. :B

Ghostwish:*snrk!!*

Liatai:... have you been labelling tokens. :B

Liatai:Just so you know, when gametime comes, I'd advise joining as a player. There are things on these maps that GMs see that players are not supposed to, like hidden doors.

Ghostwish:*SNRK*\

Ghostwish:Yes, I came on as GM just to josh with you. :P

Liatai:x3

Liatai:... is it bad that I'm terribly temped to leave those labels there until the other players can see them. :B

Ghostwish:*SNRK!* I was half-hoping you'd never notice, and that is exactly what would happen. :P

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">There's one other thing I did you haven't noticed yet. :P

Liatai:<font color="#000000">*snrk* You got the GM token too. XD

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">More. :&gt;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">... and filled it with Liatais. XD

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">More! XD

Liatai:<font color="#000000">You missed Kor. :B

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">DOH

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">There. :&gt;

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">GMs can make campaign macros too. :&gt;

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

* Liatai doesn't use macros, so that explains not seeing it. :B

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">^_^

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Say, you wouldn't happen to know where coatracks are in Mapping Objects, would you?

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">hmmmmmmm.. definitely under domestic.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;6d12+3 = 24 + 3 = 27&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">We're doomed, aren't we?

Liatai:<font color="#000000">That was a loot roll. :B

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">You mean we're poor!?!? :(

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d100 = 1&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">.... no that's ridiculous. :B

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Rolling to see how many arrows are in this lootpile. :B

Liatai:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d100 = 58&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">There, I think I'm done for now. :3

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">^_^

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">We're all goners, aren't we?

Liatai:<font color="#000000">I gave you tons of time to prepare and lots of gold to do it with. x3

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">... so. very. screwed. XD

Meany:<font color="#8B4500">One bit.

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">map explorer. :P

Meany:<font color="#8B4500">Got to load all the maps.

TMG:<font color="#000000">oh, nvm. There'

TMG:<font color="#000000">There's everyone.

* Thomas Lazarus smears out his label. =3=

Meany:<font color="#8B4500">http://images.memegenerator.net/instances/260x260/9597291.jpg

TMG:<font color="#000000">Hey.

TMG:<font color="#000000">Richter was the bookworm.

TMG:<font color="#000000">Not Cadamon. :B

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Oh pffft, I can never keep them all straight. :P

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Ashmore's the one with the hots for Tathi, right?

* Ghostwish flees from all the bricks.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">I need to get in a Thomasy state of mind. Hmmm...

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Punch yourself in the face. HARD. Now just imagine someone else is doing it. :P

* Dr. Hatari youtubes puppies tugging ferociously on the ends of toys their owners are trying to pull away.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Edaric, where did your label go? &gt;:P

You whisper to Ghostwish: By the way, Edaric is going to be pulling Aelian aside briefly in a bit; you're welcome to play Aelian's responses if you wish. Just one backstory detail that Aelian would know that might color the responses...

Meany:<font color="#8B4500">Loading last two maps~

Meany:<font color="#8B4500">|3

Tathi whispers: Ooooo! *dares not make a joke about threesomes*

Meany:<font color="#8B4500">Done.

Meany:<font color="#8B4500">Starting map?

You whisper to Ghostwish: Edaric has four siblings, all sisters. :B The Tonmor family is a farming family back in the pair's hometown of Oakridge.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Castle Osyluth - B1.

Tathi whispers: ... I have no idea how to react to that response. Bravo. XD

Liatai:<font color="#000000">-- D: !

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Ghost!

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Where's Kor? D: Meany:<font color="#8B4500">Kor exploded.

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Damn you hatari XD

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

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">That was Tomi's copy. |3

Meany:<font color="#8B4500">=3=

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Yet the title is never terribly inaccurate, is it?

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Got his stats to fix the token, Ghost?

Meany:<font color="#8B4500">Brb.

Meany:<font color="#8B4500">Tea.

Meany:<font color="#8B4500">Possibly soda. |o

Meany:<font color="#8B4500">And ceral for lunch.

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">oh shoot.. lemme get the original out then

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">AW. Ya got rid of me labels. Le sad.

* Ghostwish glares at Hatari.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">That was me, to do a Korline. :B

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Though I wonder now why it failed.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">That's what I got. Except Kor was in square brackets.

Kor:<font color="#FF0000">FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">right. I need to make a level 10 artificer. :&gt;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">I swear, I will laugh when it comes time for that token to appear in Akellon. XD

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">... oh dear gods it's a villian isn't it?

TMG:<font color="#000000">...what?

Liatai:<font color="#000000">... namely because I chose it for an elf. :B

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Liatai offered up that token I'm using for Arengle. :P

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">WHAT

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

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">XD

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Heyo, Fae! :D

Faerie:<font color="#006666">I'm really that funny?

TMG:<font color="#000000">oh yeah, that one

* Dr. Hatari opens up a Dunkaroo. +20 morale.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">FWOAR. &gt;:O

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Dunkaroooooooos :O

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Frosting + cookies always = win. :B

You whisper to Faerie: To explain... Ghostwish: right. I need to make a level 10 artificer. :&gt; Liatai: I swear, I will laugh when it comes time for that token to appear in Akellon. XD Ghostwish: ... oh dear gods it's a villian isn't it? TMG: ...what? Liatai: ... namely because I chose it for an elf. :B Ghostwish: Liatai offered up that token I'm using for Arengle. :P Ghostwish: WHAT Faerie has connected. Ghostwish: XD

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Two dollars and sold across the street from me.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">I was like, &quot;IS THIS A DREAM? :O&quot;

Faerie whispers: :P Fair enough

GM:<font color="#000000">Righto! Is everyone ready to begin the expedition into the magical undead-filled catacombs of Castle Osyluth?

TMG:<font color="#000000">:O

GM:<font color="#000000">Hey wait, you're not a Mink!

TMG:<font color="#000000">DevinGM?

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU. &gt;:O

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Allright everyone.

TMG:<font color="#000000">|D

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Click window, click campaign, and slam that macro. :&gt;

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

GM:<font color="#000000">Anyway! Shall we roll the calls and call the rolls? :3

* Faerie innocents

GM:<font color="#000000">Meany, you with us?

GM:<font color="#000000">Might as well start the recap. Last session in Akellon...

GM:<font color="#000000">There was a lot of travel! And a lot of storms.

Ghostwish:

<font color="#0000FF">*hugs the DM token!*

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">okay I'm done. Unless I'm praying to the dice gods. XD

TMG:<font color="#000000">The DM proved herself to be a Master of Mu.

GM:<font color="#000000">But finally, the Vigilant Guardians and their Leaden Mace allies have arrived at the doorstep of Castle Osyluth! Well, not exactly the doorstep. The Guardians bypassed the front door in favor of a small trap door on the side of the castle.

GM:<font color="#000000">Oh yes. The bridge wasn't trapped.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Well. Atleast we got to torment the cute zombie sharks.

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">I am going to be -so- evil.

GM:<font color="#000000">It took some doing, but party and animals all eventually have managed to squeeze into the passageway. Prepare your lightsources if you haven't already!

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">er, taking it to the irc, sorry. XP

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt strikes a sunrod, and wedges it in the top of his backpack, leaving his hands free.

GM:<font color="#000000">The floor and western wall of this tunnel are moist, and there are a few small puddles of water along said wall. The tunnel is surprisingly clean, however. It has a faint floral smell that anyone who was in the Sargano tomb might recognize.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Someone familiar has been housekeeping.&quot;

* Cadamon Gardner closes his eyes briefly and intones a prayer; a soft silver glow manifests around him. Light of Lunia get!

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;And we're in...&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;So it seems. Hopefully she has as much taste with her defenses. I would love half of them to be dancing the afternoon away until we're done.&quot;

* Edaric pauses on his way down the ladder... then hops down and taps Aelian's shoulder. &quot;Ael. Psst. Ael. Got a favor to ask of you.&quot;

Elros:<font color="#006666">&quot;Hmm. You'd think whoever designed this castle would button up any hidden passages. Oh well.&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">Aelian glances over. &quot;It better not be to babysit your sisters or some such.&quot; He says, smirking a bit.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Thomas expended 2 Shield Other spells. But darned if I don't forget who they're on.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Sszeyl, probably. And... who else? :.

* Edaric smirks. &quot;Welllllll.... you could think of it that way...&quot; :3 He takes a letter and pouch of of his pack.

Landon Skar:<font color="#000000">Mm.

TMG:<font color="#000000">got autosave logs, hatari?

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">... You know, based on my forgetting -- yes. x3

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">It was Landon.

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">He peers at the note. &quot;Message from home?&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;To home. I forgot to send this when we were back in Blackwood. Would you mind holding onto it until we get back there?&quot; :3

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;After all, they're more likely to aim for the noisy bard than the silent sniper with a wizard protector who'll blow them up for sneezing at him wrong.&quot; :P

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;I was about to ask if you were planning on doing anything heroically suicidal. But allright, I'll hold onto it, if just to give it back to you later, because you ARE coming out of this alive, understand?&quot; He says, waggling his finger at the bard.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;... You wouldn't be left behind, Ed.&quot; He remarks quietly, with a somewhat stern tone behind it.

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yes Mom,&quot; he remarks to Aelian. :P 20 PP and letter get!

* Thomas Lazarus draws out his blade and roundshield. &quot;Well. Let's proceed, shall we?&quot;

Cadamon Gardner:<font color="#000000">&quot;... Actually, one moment. That reminds me.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Now is the time for action, as we've noted, Pamela almost certainly knows that her bird is neutralized. Let us proceed.&quot;

Meany:<font color="#8B4500">Sorry.

* Thomas Lazarus lowers his weapon slightly. &quot;..Yes?&quot;

Meany:<font color="#8B4500">Drama llama appeared.

* Faerie was tempted to say to Edaric &quot;Now now, just because Aelian and Tathi are trying...&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">No one likes you, Drama Llama~

* Cadamon Gardner addresses the Guardians. &quot;Those of you who aren't members of the Leaden Mace may not know this, but our commander is quite skilled in divine magic... skilled enough to perform resurrections, should they be needed.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt readies both his crossbow and blunderbuss, then glances over to Cademon.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Again, she is not certain of its destruction. Only that she has lost control of it. However, I suspect one look out the window will expose our intent. Suddenly, it occurs to me we should have hid the corpse.&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Silly Tathi. We did. We hid it in her sharks.

Cadamon Gardner:<font color="#000000">&quot;I've been authorized to extend the choice to you whether or not you would want to be resurrected should the unexpected happen.&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">The giant swan boat, less so.

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">&quot;We did.&quot; =3=

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">&quot;I think Tom gave the sharks a snack.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Oh, disregard then. Player is busily statting an artificer. XD

Sszeyl:<font color="#8B4500">&quot;...&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt looks down and contemplates.

Calrach:<font color="#000000">Calrach just shrugs.

Sszeyl:<font color="#8B4500">&quot;That, for me at least, is a spiritual debate best saved for later. =3=;;&quot;

Elros:<font color="#006666">&quot;...I must say, this is...unexpected.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Only if Aelian agrees to it as well.&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;.. now I know how the deer in the hunter's sights feels.&quot;

Calrach:<font color="#000000">&quot;I live for the story, and if I go down, so much more to add to it. But if anyone tries to bring me back, I won't have a problem...&quot; Yet, Calrach seems slightly uncomfortable about something.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;It's up to you all. I would sell off all of my arms and armor in an instant to fund your return to the living world. Every one of you have earned as much a chance.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">She smirks back at Aelian. &quot;My homeland is ash, my people are scattered, so that leaves you about the one thing I'm living for.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hey, if I'm coming out of this alive, you'd better come out of it alive, too, Ael. After all, you've got my letter.&quot; :3

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..Personally, I'm beholden to family. The Mace knows my choice.&quot;

Elros:<font color="#006666">&quot;Heh. If I were dead, it would be hard for me to resist anything.&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;.. not sure if I should feel honored or worried at that. Allright, I am for being revived.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...I suppose I shall say the same as Calrach. If anyone tries to bring me back, despite it magic, I have no issue as well. If I recall, such spells require a large material investment of components, and I think I have the funds for it.&quot;

* Cadamon Gardner nods to Thomas.

Calrach:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh yeaaah...the funds thing. My pocketbook took a hit recently...&quot;

Cadamon Gardner:<font color="#000000">&quot;Not to worry, I'm sure a payment plan could be decided on.&quot; ^^

Elros:<font color="#006666">&quot;Yes, and I have some...unfinished business to take care of, after this. I shall agree, as well.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi gives Aelian a peck on the cheek, but then glances back at the hounds. &quot;And now I worry about them. Are you sure they'll be safe down here?&quot;

Calrach:<font color="#000000">&quot;Well, if you think of some way for me to work off the debt if you raise me, that's fine too.&quot;

Cadamon Gardner:<font color="#000000">Good grief, was the priest a salesman in a former life? :P

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">Aelian glances back. How well has he trained the hounds?

Sszeyl:<font color="#8B4500">&quot;To be sum it up.&quot;

Ezer:<font color="#006666">They better be well-trained enough to not try anything funny with me. &gt;.&gt;;

Sszeyl:<font color="#8B4500">&quot;Yes, I would like to be ressurected, but I wouldn't be allowed to come back, so it's moot. =3=;&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Tavia has tricks picked out; Amadre is your hound, so she's only been trained with the basic Come and Down, unless you'd care to pick out more tricks. :3

Tavia:<font color="#0000FF">&gt;:3

Sszeyl:<font color="#8B4500">&quot;Mind if I look ahead, with darkvision?&quot;

Ezer:<font color="#006666">Hiss. :[

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Yes... the gods demand a large sum of diamond dust for the ritual. It is a tax on the mortal world out of necessity, not vanity on their part. It is important that death has a place in the world, no matter how tragic the circumstances often are. Without great personal sacrifice, the divine anchors of the world would wield too much power. And the people would take too much advantage of the luxury. It's just ... the way things have to be, in the end.&quot;

Ezer:<font color="#006666">Oh, question. Do animals get attribute points at certain levels?

* Smoke sniffs the air, then sneezes.

TMG:<font color="#000000">(that is an excellent in-game justification as I've ever heard. Nice, hatari. :) )

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Oh, let's have the pups mirror each other. :&gt;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">They do! Whenever they reach 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 HD, just like a PC. :3

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">I had to give it some thought. Some day Tom will be able to Rez. And he just cannot rez every unfortunate dead civvie we find. (:3

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Tricks Known - Come, Defend, Down, Attack, Heel, Guard for Amadre. Tavia also has Track.

Faerie:<font color="#006666">Heh. I was kinda wondering, like, what if Ezer leveled his int up to PC-level? &gt;.&gt;

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">... is that even possible? :B

Liatai:<font color="#000000">I think animals have to have an Int of 1 or 2.

TMG:<font color="#000000">Wow. I....don't think I've -ever- seen any mentioning or rule covering that. xD

TMG:<font color="#000000">Debate for another day, I believe

Faerie:<font color="#006666">Aww xP

Faerie:<font color="#006666">Sorry, the thought just occurred to me. &gt;.&gt;

GM:<font color="#000000">Yes, let us prepare! Move yourselves into what position you want -- and also!

GM:<font color="#000000">Is anyone interested in taking control of an NPC?

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">LANDON. :&gt;

GM:<font color="#000000">If not, is fine. Just wanted to offer. :3

TMG:<font color="#000000">Hatari gets Cadamon.

TMG:<font color="#000000">Obviously. :&gt;

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

Sszeyl: <font color="#8b4500">(( =3=; ))

Sszeyl: <font color="#8b4500">(( I guess I'll try my luck. ))

TMG:<font color="#000000">I've already got two PCs, so no NPCs for me.

GM:<font color="#000000">Actually, I would like to keep control of Cadamon, if I could.

Sszeyl: <font color="#8b4500">(( With Flint? ))

TMG:<font color="#000000">heh, alright. 'Twas a joke, anyway. |3

GM:<font color="#000000">Just because he's in a position of command over three other characters.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">The third better be smoke. *brick'd!*

GM:<font color="#000000">All right! Ghost, http://www.thetangledweb.net/forums/profiler/view_char.php?cid=52256

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">well, if you want landon, I already have a cohort. :&gt;

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">OH GOD NO MACROS TAKE HIM :P

Sszeyl: <font color="#8b4500">(( Thirty? ))

Sszeyl: <font color="#8b4500">(( You're getting old, hatman. :U ))

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">HAY. &gt;:O

Sszeyl: <font color="#8b4500">(( &quot;You are old, father William, the young man said...&quot; ))

Sszeyl:<font color="#8B4500">&quot;Ahem.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#8B4500">&quot;Gnoggle, may I switch places with you? :B&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt, holding his blunderbuss, shrugs ad stows that, pulling out his crossbow.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">I'll control Landon if you wish, sure.

Teeny Rin:<font color="#8B4500">I'm sorry, but your angstface offends some viewers.

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Kay. ^_^

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">For combat, of course.

Teeny Rin:<font color="#8B4500">*censorship Rin*

Landon Skar:<font color="#000000">Hrm. :\

GM:<font color="#000000">Onward!

GM:<font color="#000000">A door stubbornly stands in your way. &gt;:O

Sszeyl:<font color="#8B4500">&quot;Hmm.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#8B4500">&quot;Gnogglebolt, could you check for traps?&quot;

* Sszeyl stands aside.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;As my family would say, I have some 'dwarven lockpicking skills'. But I imagine brother Flint here could do better.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;If I had room...&quot;

Elros:<font color="#006666">&quot;...we need breaching equipment.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;That I can do.&quot;

Elros:<font color="#006666">&quot;...and just to confirm, i is indeed locked, yes?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#8B4500">&quot;Ahem.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#8B4500">&quot;We have myself, Thomas.&quot;

Elros:<font color="#006666">*it is

Sszeyl:<font color="#8B4500">&quot;And this.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#8B4500">:|

* Thomas Lazarus smirks.

Landon Skar:<font color="#000000">And Tathi, the fighter's glance at the wood elf seems to say. &gt;.&gt;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt Searches the door. not taking 20, speed is of the essence. &#171; &#160;1d20+4 = 5 + 4 = 9&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Sszeyl: <font color="#8b4500">(( |B ))

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Huh? What?

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">...but for good measue, he tries several times. (3 more)

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..There aren't a lot of doors that were built to withstand a determined Lazarus. And as it happens, that's the only flavor we come in.&quot;

GM:<font color="#000000">No traps found.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Alright, I think it's safe...&quot; He reaches up and tries the handle (without opening)

GM:<font color="#000000">It jiggles freely. It's unlocked.

* Thomas Lazarus nods.

Sszeyl:<font color="#8B4500">&quot;Very well. Now, if the wall of meatshields could be remade, let's continue?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">He steps back and lets Sszeyl take his place again.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..Allow me, if you please.&quot;

Cadamon Gardner:<font color="#000000">Wall of meatshields? ^^;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Thomas doesn't flinch at the meatshield comment. |3

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;I could open the door..&quot;

Elros:<font color="#006666">&quot;Yes, see, if it's unlocked, we could just...open it.&quot; &gt;.&gt;

* Thomas Lazarus assumes total defense, and opens the door with his movement action. 27 AC bulwark!

Sszeyl:<font color="#8B4500">&quot;Thomas, what do your human eyes see? :.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus glances around briefly, then lowers his guard. &quot;Clear. Narrower path though.&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Inversion ahoy. :B

Sszeyl:<font color="#8B4500">&quot;Three to a row, people.&quot;

Tavia:<font color="#0000FF">Hi! :&gt;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Why did we bring puppies on the undead assault. =3=

Edaric:<font color="#000000">Dunno, but I'll chill with them. :3

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Yo, dawgs. *BRICKS*

Elros:<font color="#006666">&quot;Maybe we'll find undead who are dog-phobic?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#8B4500">&#171; &#160;1d20+5 = 19 + 5 = 24&#160; <font color="#8B4500">&#187; Spot check!

Sszeyl:<font color="#8B4500">That door down there.

Sszeyl:<font color="#8B4500">&gt;:O

You whisper to Meany: You hear the sounds of a hammer striking metal and occasional hissing sounds to the east of your current position, beyond the wall.

Sszeyl:<font color="#8B4500">&quot;Hold.&quot;

Elros:<font color="#006666">&quot;Hm?&quot;

* Sszeyl listens for a bit, swivveling each ear at the noise.

Sszeyl:<font color="#8B4500">&quot;A hammer striking metal.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#8B4500">&quot;And hissing.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#8B4500">&quot;Perhaps a forge.&quot;

Flint Carthan:<font color="#8B4500">&#171; &#160;1d20+8 = 1 + 8 = 9&#160; <font color="#8B4500">&#187; To confirm this...

Flint Carthan:<font color="#8B4500">&quot;What?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...That's weird.&quot;

* Landon Skar listens. &#171; &#160;1d20+2 = 10 + 2 = 12&#160;  &#187;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Armed undead, are they..?&quot;

Landon Skar:<font color="#000000">&quot;... where?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Well. Strike while the iron's hot, as they say.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#8B4500">&quot;Down the hall, and to the right.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#8B4500">&quot;There's a door.&quot;

You whisper to Meany: Ack, no.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">It's to the right, not down the hall. Current position on the map.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">... that was supposed to be whispered. ^^;

Sszeyl:<font color="#8B4500">:.

Tavia:

<font color="#0000FF">*hugs the DM token!*

You whisper to Meany: Other side of the wall.

Sszeyl:<font color="#8B4500">Retconning.

Sszeyl:<font color="#8B4500">&quot;On the other side of the wall.&quot;

* Sszeyl points.

* Landon Skar looks at the wall. &quot;...&quot;

Cadamon Gardner:<font color="#000000">&quot;We'll have to keep that in mind, then.&quot;

GM:<font color="#000000">Shall we move down the hallway?

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Indeed.

GM:<font color="#000000">There, room for the door patrol.

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">brb!

Sszeyl:<font color="#8B4500">&quot;Gnoggle?&quot;

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">He spends about 25 seconds (round the strangely exact 24) looking around the door.

GM:<font color="#000000">No traps found. Another unlocked door.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">He steps back. &quot;All yours, Thomas.&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Pretty good followed by, &quot;Yup. Uh-huh. Looks good. =3=&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Right then. Shield up, the door is swung open.

Elros:<font color="#006666">&quot;Hope this hallway isn't any smaller...&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Clear. Same diameter.&quot;

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">&quot;She mentioned last time how hard it was to get zombies to walk single file. I doubt it.&quot; =3=

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">&quot;... dead end?&quot;

You whisper to Meany: Elf ping.

Sszeyl:<font color="#8B4500">Ping?

Sszeyl:<font color="#8B4500">&quot;Hold...&quot;

TMG:<font color="#000000">Liatai, some fog accidentally got cut away D: Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Hello revealed corner. &gt;:O

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

Sszeyl:<font color="#8B4500">&quot;Tathi, do you feel it?&quot; Secret door nearby.&quot;

Sszeyl: <font color="#8b4500">(( See by Cadamon. ))

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

Sszeyl: <font color="#8b4500">(( Aha. ))

Sszeyl:<font color="#8B4500">&quot;Everyone with some skill in searching, prowl the walls and floor.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#8B4500">&quot;There's a secret passage somewhere. :3&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">=3=;

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">&quot;-- of course. Wouldn't make sense to build a hallway to nowhere.&quot; &#171; &#160;1d20+9 = 7 + 9 = 16&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; Search!

Landon Skar:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20 = 14&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Sszeyl:<font color="#8B4500">&#171; &#160;1d20+2 = 8 + 2 = 10&#160; <font color="#8B4500">&#187; Int check!

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Suddenly DOOR RADARS.

Cadamon Gardner:<font color="#000000">&quot;... not just one, either.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#8B4500">&quot;Oh?&quot;

Cadamon Gardner:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+3 = 6 + 3 = 9&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; try again! &#171; &#160;1d20+9 = 4 + 9 = 13&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; for Flint, too.

Sszeyl:<font color="#8B4500">&#171; &#160;1d20+2 = 18 + 2 = 20&#160; <font color="#8B4500">&#187; Int check!

Cadamon Gardner:<font color="#000000">&quot;...&quot; Cadamon starts to take 20. The rest of you can try, maybe you'll find the doors faster. :B

Sszeyl:<font color="#8B4500">&quot;Got one.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&#171; &#160;1d20+2+floor((wisdom-10)/2) = 4 + 2 + floor((13 - 10) / 2) = 7&#160; <font color="#0000FF">&#187; Spot!

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">It only takes 2 minutes per square. We may as well. :B

Sszeyl: <font color="#8b4500">(( Search, Ghost. ))

Sszeyl: <font color="#8b4500">(( Search is the name of the game here. ))

Smoke:<font color="#000000">Sniffsniffsniff. :O

TMG:<font color="#000000">I thought we were on time-sensitive, but oh well...

Flint Carthan:<font color="#8B4500">&#171; &#160;1d20+9 = 13 + 9 = 22&#160; <font color="#8B4500">&#187; Search!

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">&quot;Got one.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt picks out random areas and searches carefully.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Well, not taking 20 doesn't necessarily take less time. Such as in this case. :B

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">24 for taking 20

GM:<font color="#000000">Eventually, all 4 hidden doors are found.

* Thomas Lazarus looks about at all the suddenly revealed doors. :.

Elros:<font color="#006666">Elros searches as well, and gets 31 for taking 20?

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Holy -- Wow. XD

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Elros IS the master of sense checks. XD

Elros:<font color="#006666">Or theycould be found already. What lovely patterns in the molecular structure of the walls though.

TMG:<font color="#000000">Well, he IS a ranger. They're supposed to be good at tracking and finding...

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..Well. Might as well be orderly with it. Clockwise, starting with Sszeyl's?&quot;

* Flint Carthan starts to go around and listen at each one carefully... &#171; &#160;1d20+10 = 11 + 10 = 21&#160;  &#187; &#171;  &#160;1d20+10 = 16 + 10 = 26&#160;  &#187; &#171;  &#160;1d20+10 = 6 + 10 = 16&#160;  &#187; &#171;  &#160;1d20+10 = 7 + 10 = 17&#160;  &#187;

Sszeyl:<font color="#8B4500">&#171; &#160;1d20+5 = 6 + 5 = 11&#160; <font color="#8B4500">&#187; Listen check!

* Smoke sniffs under the door.

* Flint Carthan lowers his voice. &quot;Might want to arrange for battle first. Lots of moving bones and... splashing noises under this one.&quot;

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">&quot;Quiet on this one.&quot;

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

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">&quot;Quiet here, too.&quot;

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">&quot;... sounds like someone chopping something in here.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#8B4500">Total defense ready beside Thomas.

* Thomas Lazarus hefts his shield and lays his right hand on the door-handle. He waits beyond that.

Sszeyl:<font color="#8B4500">21 AC.

GM:<font color="#000000">Everyone arranged?

* Thomas Lazarus glances over his shoulder. When everyone looks ready, he attempts to throw it wide open.

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Ready!

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">I could feng shui the animals and bards a bit more, but it'll do~

GM:<font color="#000000">The door swings open to reveal... horrors! D: TMG:<font color="#000000">wait

TMG:<font color="#000000">crap

TMG:<font color="#000000">nvm...

GM:<font color="#000000">DISHWASHING!

Elros:<font color="#006666">...apparently, I'm in the back. Do you want me more up front?

Sszeyl:<font color="#8B4500">&quot;Skeleton maids.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus stares briefly. &quot;...&quot;

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

Elros:<font color="#006666">&quot;Do not want.&quot;

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">&quot;.....&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus lowers his shield a few inches. &quot;... This is definitely Pamela's castle.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi peeks in. &quot;Yup. That is her calling card. And considering what she did last time, I suggest we get rid of them this time.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hang on!&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#8B4500">&quot;Shall we just...break them up, or leave them to their work?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;I do remember what happened last time, but.&quot;

Scullery Skeleton 3:<font color="#000000">The skeletons continue to move around and wash dishes blithely.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;We know that she knows when her connection to an abomination is broken.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;WHat do you think she'll guess when this happens repeatedly, in a linear path?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#8B4500">&quot;Gnogglebolt.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#8B4500">&quot;She knows we killed her bird, and haven't killed anything in the courtyard.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Be that as it may, it's not as though we'll be reaching her without destroying any of them. This is the purpose of our presence, afterall.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus takes a few steps inside.

* Flint Carthan is frowning at the room, weapons drawn. He follows Tom.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Destroy them. We know how she will just command them to attack us later.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus just gives them a bewildered look for the moment.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;I'm just advising the wisdom of saving as much energy and getting to the master of this place as soon as possible without alerting her.&quot;

Scullery Skeleton 3:<font color="#000000">'Scuse me, carrying dishes.

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;I agree. These are basically just undead soldiers waiting for orders, are they not?&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus steps aside. =3=;

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

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

Sszeyl whispers: Question.

Aelian:<font color="#000000">&quot;I see that look. Might as well say it.&quot; Aelian sighs.

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;I've heard of people working themselves to the bone, but this is the first time I've seen it literally.&quot;

Elros:<font color="#006666">*badum-tsh

* Landon Skar frowns. &gt;.&gt;

Sszeyl whispers: Monk weapons can be used to attack with at the User's Unarmed Strike mod...what does that mean? =3=;; Like, in case you took weapon focus (unarmed strike?)

Elros:<font color="#006666">&quot;Don't quit your day job.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">A collective groan from the entire Tathi gang. Yes, even the puppies.

You whisper to Meany: I'm not sure. :.

* Thomas Lazarus remarks quietly to the other Inquisitors, &quot;Is it terrible that I feel this much hesitation in striking down undead ... house-servants?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#8B4500">&quot;Thomas.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#8B4500">&quot;Just turn them.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I feel like a raiding barbarian.&quot;

* Cadamon Gardner folds his arms into his robe sleeves.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh yes. Blast them with that holy light of yours.&quot;

Cadamon Gardner:<font color="#000000">&quot;Better to grant their souls rest than let them keep toiling in indentured servitude.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..That is so.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus approaches the middle of the room and palms his gauntlet-chained symbol of Pelor.

Elros:<font color="#006666">&quot;It can't be pleasant for -them- to continue this way.&quot;

* Cadamon Gardner is watching.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Find peace.&quot; He remarks simply as light flashes through the room. Turn undead! (Checking notes)

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&#171; &#160;1d20+0+2 = 10 + 0 + 2 = 12&#160; <font color="#FF0000">&#187; &#171;  &#160;2d6+6+0+2 = 6 + 6 + 0 + 2 = 14&#160; <font color="#FF0000">&#187;

Sszeyl: <font color="#8b4500">(( Up to 14 12 hd monsters? ))

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Undead of up to 6 HD are turned, and 14 HD worth of such undead are actually turned. 3 HD undead are destroyed.

Sszeyl: <font color="#8b4500">(( Ah. ))

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">No. The result of 12 = cleric's level. There is a table.

Scullery Skeleton 7:<font color="#000000">There go some dishes.

TMG:<font color="#000000">They are all blasted to dust...

* Thomas Lazarus lowers his arm.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..Atleast I did not have to go about striking them with my sword.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;....Well. I must say, that was efficient.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#8B4500">&quot;Doors.&quot;

GM:<font color="#000000">A voice calls from the next room. &quot;The lady will be highly disappointed if that was the good china.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Let's continue searching.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus falls silent. &quot;!!&quot;

Elros:<font color="#006666">&quot;...&quot;

* Sszeyl full defenses.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi gang enters the room, and then freezes.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Now perhaps the reasoning behind bringing Cadamon is--&quot; Gnogglebolt likewise clamps his mouth shit.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">... what a typo. ^^;

Calrach:<font color="#000000">...SHUT

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Clamps his mouth SHUT.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">To the east, a male voice. That soon speaks up again.

GM:<font color="#000000">&quot;... My my. The lady didn't tell me we were expecting guests.&quot;

TMG:<font color="#000000">Fekkin keys are right next to each other!

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">I'll have to remember that one.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Clamp that mouth shit!&quot; :B

* Thomas Lazarus narrows his eyes, and advances on the door immediately.

GM:<font color="#000000">&quot;Come out, would you? The roast isn't quite done yet, but there should be stew ready.&quot;

Faerie:<font color="#006666">If the voice is something powerful, we might be saying shit in a minute.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Oop!

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Meany froze.

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

TMG:<font color="#000000">uhoh! Pausing.

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

TMG:<font color="#000000">last line you saw?

TMG:<font color="#000000">...yo?

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

TMG:<font color="#000000">Uhoh.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Uhoh indeed. ^^;

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

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Joo alive yet?

TMG:<font color="#000000">welcome back, again.

Meany:<font color="#8B4500">* Dr. Hatari aquires more drinks. =3=;

TMG:<font color="#000000">If back you be.

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

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Up to date then.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Except a bunch of uh-ohs.

TMG:<font color="#000000">Okay, last line you saw -before- that? Before your first DC?

Meany:<font color="#8B4500">Not able to retrieve.

Meany:<font color="#8B4500">Closed client.

TMG:<font color="#000000">D: Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Good enough.

TMG:<font color="#000000">..last thing you -remember-, then? :B

Meany:<font color="#8B4500">Suddenly, a voice from the next room.

* Meany kicks Flint out of Sseyl's spot. :U

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">Hey! &gt;:\

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">DOOR OPENING POWERS ACTIVATE. I could be a Mass Effect protagonist!

Meany:<font color="#8B4500">What's that?

Meany:<font color="#8B4500">Paint your toenails pink?

Meany:<font color="#8B4500">ALRIGHT.

Faerie:<font color="#006666">I shall bravely take the toenail painting for him.

Faerie:<font color="#006666">*cough

Meany:<font color="#8B4500">...

Meany:<font color="#8B4500">Is that..

Mr. Johnston:<font color="#000000">The next room appears to be a kitchen of some kind. A man in tailored garb is there, fixing a platter of some kind... though the color of his flesh clearly indicates either disease or undeath.

Meany:<font color="#8B4500">Mr. Johnston? :B

Liatai:<font color="#000000">... I knew that name was used somewhere. XD

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Different Mr. Johnston. :B

Faerie:<font color="#006666">Cave Johnson?

* Dr. Hatari is clueless.

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Johnson is a common name. :P

Meany:<font color="#8B4500">Second officer on the Harridan.

Meany:<font color="#8B4500">Johnston.

Meany:<font color="#8B4500">See the t.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Clank, clank, tromp. &gt;:|

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Misspelling of johnson.

* Mr. Johnston raises an eyebrow.

Mr. Johnston:<font color="#000000">&quot;Not often guests come out of the scullery, or at all nowadays.&quot; He gives a pleasant enough, if needle-toothed, grin.

Mr. Johnston:<font color="#000000">&quot;That wasn't the good china, was it?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Is that so? Well.&quot; He glances around rather sternly.

Sszeyl:<font color="#8B4500">&quot;No.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#8B4500">&quot;That was all of the china.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">His gaze rests on the polite man of questionable mortality. &quot;We are aquaintances of the Lady, indeed. And who might you be?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Despite the polite verse, his tone is rather demanding.

* Mr. Johnston takes something out of his pocket and checks it briefly... it's beaten and silver, but it should be familiar to anyone who has taken a watch with the Guardians. Literally. &quot;... ten minutes until the next basting, long enough to chat.&quot;

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Dibs. :O(

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

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Edaric, you big silly, move up! :O

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Tathi gang is invite-only. Sadface. :(

Mr. Johnston:<font color="#000000">&quot;Johnston was my name in life, it will do just fine.&quot; He grins again, seeming unperturbed. &quot;And yourself? ... All of yourselves? My, had I known, I would have made more soup.&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">-- GUAH big spider D: Meany:<font color="#8B4500">KILL IT.

* Thomas Lazarus is looking increasingly disarmed and uncomfortable, just as he had moments ago in the other room. &quot;...&quot;

Meany:<font color="#8B4500">WITH FIRE.

TMG:<font color="#000000">Catch it in a cup and toss it outside. :o

Liatai:<font color="#000000">It ran under the bed, it can stay there. ^^;

Sszeyl:<font color="#8B4500">&quot;I'm sorry.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#8B4500">&quot;We really would love to chat conversationally.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#8B4500">&quot;But, we're on duty.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#8B4500">&quot;On guard, sir.&quot;

Calrach:<font color="#000000">&quot;We need to go see The Lad, actually.&quot; Calrach goes in hurriedly.

Calrach:<font color="#000000">Giving SsZeyl a little kick in the back of his leg as he passes.

Calrach:<font color="#000000">*LADY

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">You and these compromising typos, today.

Mr. Johnston:<font color="#000000">&quot;... you wouldn't happen to have met the lady before, would you? I recall her mentioning a dark elf, two gnomes, an elf with a gem in her forehead, a half-elf with green hair...&quot;

TMG:<font color="#000000">I have GOT to slow down my typing.

Mr. Johnston:<font color="#000000">&quot;... she'll be most disappointed you've cut your hair, sir.&quot; =3=

Calrach:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yes, yes, we would like to see that Lady. Might you tell us the quickest way...to...her...&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;That was the point.&quot; Poker face.

Calrach:<font color="#000000">Well, this isn't good. Calrach thinks.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&#171; &#160;1d20+5 = 4 + 5 = 9&#160; <font color="#0000FF">&#187; knowledge religion!

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Well bugger. That was to figure out what this guy is now.. but so much for that.

Elros:<font color="#006666">Hmm. Maybe the green hair is a bit distinctive. Derp.

Mr. Johnston:<font color="#000000">&quot;Afraid not, little one. It would be most ungracious, and a terrible breach of duty.&quot; He grins again. &quot;Are you certain I can't convince you to leave the way you came?&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus narrows one eye a bit twitchily. ''She told her butler how much she wanted to play with my hair when I was dead. -3=;;;''

You whisper to Meany: Ghoul.

Sszeyl:<font color="#8B4500">&quot;Uhoh.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#8B4500">&quot;Ghoul.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#8B4500">&quot;Magic weapons, to the front.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus clamps his eyes shut and frowns. &quot;... No ...&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt squeezes in, sighing at what he hears.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I have had enough of entertaining the puppeteer's charade that you are still people.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Thomas, Cadamon?&quot; He whispers. &quot;Now would be a good time.&quot;

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

* Thomas Lazarus advances! &#171; &#160;1d20+1 = 19 + 1 = 20&#160;  &#187;

Mr. Johnston:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh, very well.&quot; He checks the pocketwatch one last time, and seems to smear something from the inside lid on his skin while he raises his voice. &quot;Helter, Skelter. We have some unruly guests.&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">(I maintain that it would be incredibly fun to be one of Pamela's minions for a minisession. :B)

Elros has received initiative.* Smoke growls at the shadows. &gt;:E

Faerie:<font color="#006666">Because, Elros is 35' from Mr. Johnston right now.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">You could charge.

Faerie:<font color="#006666">But moving to 13, -29 is 25' then from there to 14,-30 is 5'

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">It doubles your movement and gives you +2 to hit and -2 AC for one round.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">It seems the dice luck was sucked up by Cadamon.

Skelter:<font color="#000000">The flames char a nice hole in the cabinets, but the shadow seems unperturbed as the flames go right through it.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi actually growls. &quot;Okay, next time? You AND your friend are dying.&quot;

Cadamon Gardner:<font color="#000000">&quot;Archer, your weapon is magical, correct?&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Your argument is invalid. :P

Elros:<font color="#006666">Well, under the 'it's a bad idea to provoke shadows' theory, Elros sheathes his sword, and draws his bow. And that...takes a full action, so end turn?

Liatai:<font color="#000000">You can drop the sword, draw the bow, and shoot.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">But then the sword will be on the floor. :3

Sszeyl: <font color="#8b4500">(( What does this change? ))

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Still spitting words in languages the other guys don't know, Gnogglebolt rushes forward, double-move, drawing his blunderbuss as he sees the jellies.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">The plan was to move through the basement to a tower. Good luck with getting the 12 of us through that otherwise. Like I said. Enough with the pretense of stealth. It's just self-flagellation. ^^;

Calrach has received initiative.Liatai:<font color="#000000">Calrach's turn!

TMG:<font color="#000000">let's see...

TMG:<font color="#000000">Question.

TMG:<font color="#000000">How tall is the ceiling?

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">&quot;Will someone just grab that ghoul corpse and close the damn door?!&quot; &gt;:O

Cadamon Gardner:<font color="#000000">&quot;Language, Carthan.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#8B4500">&quot;Don't forget the sword.&quot;

Calrach:<font color="#000000">Calrach rushes over...and with seemingly more strength than a little man should have, grabs the corpse and quickly yanks it back through the doorway.

* Flint Carthan looks at Cadamon quizzically.

Calrach:<font color="#000000">But I don't suppose he can get the door, too. End turn.

* Cadamon Gardner looks back. &quot;They're oozes. They're not exactly sprinters.&quot; ^^;;;

Sszeyl: <font color="#8b4500">(( What of the sword? :o ))

Pile of Medium Orange Jelly:<font color="#000000">=3=

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Assume the sword was grabbed.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;(Not that I would've, but we're not allowed to swear..?) ^^;;&quot; whispered to Flint.

* Thomas Lazarus actually seems amused. Despite the negative energy burns. Ow.

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">&quot;(We're allowed to swear however much the hell we want, Cadamon's just being Cadamon,)&quot; the inquisitor whispers back. :P

Landon Skar has received initiative.Landon Skar:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Pardon.&quot; Landon mutters in a bit of a monotone while squeezing by, leaning through the doorway, and pulling it shut.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">At least he's not RAINBOW TASING

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Let's try that again. &#171; &#160;2d8+2 = 5 + 2 = 7&#160; <font color="#FF0000">&#187; self!

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">&gt;.&gt;;

* Landon Skar drags the ghoulcorpse to the table.

Calrach:<font color="#000000">&quot;So...what is your guys' most immediate objective?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;'Twould be more convincing if we hadn't chased you out of trees before, brother.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;So, do we want to wait for the ooze to break through, or continue on?&quot;

Landon Skar:<font color="#000000">&quot;Keys.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;I don't know, but I'd like to start climbing out of here and find Pamela before she flies away, -again-...&quot;

* Sszeyl inspects the sword. =3=

* Landon Skar holds up a keyring.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I've little interest in attacking creatures of that nature. Let's try a different route, shall we? That east door looks promising.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus glances to Calrach. &quot;And yes. The 'Lady' herself, of course.&quot;

* Flint Carthan looks quizzically at Thomas.

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">&quot;What 'nature?'&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#8B4500">&quot;Also.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#8B4500">&quot;We have two more secret doors to inspect.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus looks to Flint. &quot;Slimes, I meant. They're ... natural ... ah ... aren't they?&quot; He blinks a bit.

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">&quot;Ah.&quot; Flint nods.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;(Come to think of it, now I'm not sure at all. =3=;)&quot;

Elros:<font color="#006666">&quot;Does nature produce anything of...that kind?&quot;

Landon Skar:<font color="#000000">Am I the only one looting the butler? =3=;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Let's find out.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&#171; &#160;1d20+6 = 19 + 6 = 25&#160; <font color="#0000FF">&#187; Knowledge, nature!

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Nope, they're not natural.&quot; Gotcha. :3

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Though you may recall tales of slime molds? :3

* Landon Skar continues to lay out the ghoul's equipment for perusal and future use.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">... ... ... ... &quot;!&quot; =3=;

* Thomas Lazarus joins Landon. You'll never tell a soul I just now paid attention. Off the hook!

* Sszeyl snagged the sword.

* Sszeyl is inspecting it.

Calrach:<font color="#000000">Calrach curiously peeks at the ghoul and his gear.

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Bastard dodged my arrows..&quot; Aelian mutters, and then goes to see if he can recover said arrows.. from the pie and wherever the heck the others landed.

Mr. Johnston:<font color="#000000">A Heward's Handy Haversack (2000 GP) containing a number of tools, an old silver pocketwatch, a broom, a mop, five jugs of water, pruning shears, a ring of keys, ten vials of incindigas, a book of court and table etiquette, a half-empty bottle of -- well you HOPE it's red wine, a neatly-wrapped hunk of lightly seared meat, and a bloodstained plate and silverware set. Also, his sword, chain shirt, and a plain silver ring with a small swirl to the metal.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">The sword is well-balanced, and rather elegant. A courtly weapon.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Well, what does the group think? Should I inspect it for magic now, or save it until later?&quot;

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">... I'm surprised Gnogglebolt hasnt said anything yet. ;3

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Later. We're on a timeline.&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">Pity, because now Aelian is toying around with the pocketwatch.

* Thomas Lazarus takes up the keyring and inspects it briefly.

Calrach:<font color="#000000">Calrach sees a pack of vials...with an odd oily substance with a slight orange tint to them.

Calrach:<font color="#000000">&quot;...Gnogglebolt, you're Mazian, right? You might want to look at this...&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">He goes through the tedious process of matching blind keys to the locked door.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Meanwhile, the gnome who has been pointedly ignoring getting close to the undead thing, finally walks over.

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">most assinine DM ever: all the keys are trapped. :&gt;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">He instantly recognizes the vials. &quot;Incidnigas?!&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">How do you.. XD

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">He scoops them all up and holds them in his hands, as if he can't believe his eyes.

Elros:<font color="#006666">&quot;...incendigas?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;How...where did he get this?&quot;

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Simple, touch spell set to go off every time the key is inserted in a lock. :P

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">He also notices the silver biscuit-sized thing. &quot;!&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">Aelian jumps a little when Gnogglebolt recognizes the vials. &quot;They're going to explode, aren't they?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;And a pocketwatch!&quot;

GM:<font color="#000000">How many keys did that guy have, seriously?

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Was this guy Mazian in life, or something?&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">x3 !

Tokens dropped onto map 'Castle Osyluth - B1'John Doe:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;127.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;He's a bit tall for that..&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt looks over to Aelian. &quot;Oh, goodness no. Not unless you dumped them onto a fire.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus looks only slightly flustered as he goes through what are quite possibly keys to every door in the castle trying to find the one that fits this lock. =3=;

* Cadamon Gardner clears his throat.

Cadamon Gardner:<font color="#000000">&quot;There will be time for speculation as we move.&quot;

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

Cadamon Gardner:<font color="#000000">&quot;... any luck yet, Thomas?&quot; ^^;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Luck roll. D: &#171; &#160;1d20 = 1&#160; <font color="#FF0000">&#187;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I think I.. turned the ring once.&quot; =3=;;;;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt takes the pocketwatch and indindigas for safekeeping, for now. He'll probably keep the incindigas for good, but maybe one of these other farmer-time Kellonites would appreciate knowing true timekeeping capability...

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">Hey. &gt;:|

* Thomas Lazarus sighs, and lowers his head after a moment. &quot;...&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Brother Flint?&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">Aelian has the pocketwatch, thanks. :3

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">&quot;On it.&quot; The witch-hunter already has his picks out. =3=

* Thomas Lazarus mutters, &quot;I can't believe we're left to picking a door we have the keys for.&quot;

TMG:<font color="#000000">oh, Aleian took the pocketwatch already? Mkay.

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+7 = 8 + 7 = 15&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

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

Thomas Lazarus: <font color="#ff0000">(( Gnogglebolt has one. xD ))

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">... taking twenty. =3=;

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">And Aelian, being lawful, has a taste for things that tell time so accurately. :&gt;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">Sure.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Wait a minute.

* Dr. Hatari glances at map.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">... Was this the dreaded 1 minute route to the 1st floor? :b

Edaric:<font color="#000000">Mister lost-track-of-time-while-sitting-in-the-woods-every-day. =3=

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Yes and no.

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">Well now I won't lose track now will I? Nyeh!

Liatai:<font color="#000000">You missed the direct route and took one extra room. :P

TMG:<font color="#000000">there, ah, are three other hidden doors back there we didn't check.

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">.. let's explore the rest.

TMG:<font color="#000000">But unfortunately. There is no IC justification for going back to them. ^^;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;I suddenly have a very dreadful feeling about advancing forward when a possible host of undead behind us..&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Lucky I made the first floor last night, huh? :P

TMG:<font color="#000000">Our target is Pamela, and she already up and flew away from us once when we dragged our feet...

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">It seems a little silly to blow our spells out the window attacking more now-hostile monsters when we know our goal is up the stairs, though. :P

TMG:<font color="#000000">^ That.

Meany:<font color="#8B4500">Priorities.

Meany:<font color="#8B4500">The puppetmaster.

Meany:<font color="#8B4500">Then the puppets.

Meany:<font color="#8B4500">=3=

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">how were we dragging our feet when we were fighting her? XD

TMG:<font color="#000000">From a meta standpoint, exploring the stuff seems nice

TMG:<font color="#000000">but there is -absolutely- no reason for us to literally turn around from the direction of our objective, which is time-sensitive.

* Sszeyl keeps the sword.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">We can do the castle proper after Pamela is secured.

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">&quot;Stairs.&quot;

TMG:<font color="#000000">And that.

Sszeyl whispers: Masterwork, +1, or mundande?

You whisper to Meany: +1.

Elros:<font color="#006666">&quot;Perhaps we can explore -after- Pamela is defeated, then.&quot;

TMG:<font color="#000000">We were planning to cleanse the castle afterward, if I recall.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Hup.&quot; &gt;:|

TMG:<font color="#000000">...or maybe that was just me. And Hatari thought it wasn't our job. :B

* Thomas Lazarus ascends el stairs.

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Wait up!&quot; D: Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Now that we understand that the castle has a (probably living) heir, that changes matters.

* Teeny Rin leads the charge! &gt;:9

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">He just wasn't going to go scrubbing it with holy water on the basis that it was a good dungeon and other monsters might &quot;move in&quot;. :P

TMG:<font color="#000000">wait, it does have a possibibly living heir? Refresh me on this later.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">The late lord had a son by his wife before Pamela.

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.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">That's about the size of it.

TMG:<font color="#000000">ohh, that

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Remains to be seen if said son was living here or away.

Meany:<font color="#8B4500">Watch he be the smithy.

Meany:<font color="#8B4500">That we just left behind.

Meany:<font color="#8B4500">:B

Hakutaku:<font color="#000000">Your Rin has become a -- Hakutaku!

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

Hakutaku:<font color="#000000">Because the DM is a derp and accidentally cleared some fog with Rin and can't get the fog to reset itself for Rin. =3=;

Calrach has received initiative.Calrach has received initiative.Calrach has received initiative.TMG:<font color="#000000">Calrach: All Ur Init R Blong 2 Me? :U

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Lovely. More doors. Get cracking with those keys, Thomas. We don't want to be here all day.&quot; She says with a smirk.

GM:<font color="#000000">Let's all go to the first floor~!

* Thomas Lazarus folds his arms and sighs. &quot; I'm liable to make like Tomi and use my sword as a 'dwarven lockpick'. &quot;

Kor:<font color="#0000FF">Someone needs biting!?

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

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Auto Tom for a couple minutes. Changing for work. Be back in a few.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;No, I've seen actual dwarven lockpicks in use before.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;They tend to by cylindrical. And have a very unpleasant effect on the door, and in fact, anything within a 10-foot radius.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">*to be

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Just to check, no one's tokens are lost, are they?

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">all acounted for.

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">WAIT.

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">WHERE'S DORF!?

* Ghostwish panic.

GM:<font color="#000000">Actually, I should ask. Fatigue check?

GM:<font color="#000000">Some of you have been gaming all day. ^^;

Meany:<font color="#8B4500">I'm good.

TMG:<font color="#000000">I could continue, but I'm fine stopping here, too. Either way's good.

Faerie:<font color="#006666">I have some homework I need to do. &gt;.&gt;;

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Hatari's getting ready to jet, so I'm fine with stopping here, and yes, I'm feeling the all day game lag. ^_^; can't even concentrate on the artificer anymore..

GM:<font color="#000000">All right. Let's get noms sorted, then save. :3

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Nomming Thomas for DAMN KEYS.:P\

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Nomming Flint for Lemme just pick the door Tom.

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Nomming Landon for Get the Elf Drunk, She'll Open the Door.

Meany:<font color="#8B4500">...I can't think of anything.

Meany:<font color="#8B4500">=3=

GM:<font color="#000000">400 XP to all for defeating Johnston, before I forget.

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Nomming Sszeyl for TABLE, RETURN OF THE PEW.

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">and my brain starts fogging up.. help me out here. XD

TMG:<font color="#000000">reading back....

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">OH! Nomming Edaric for Letter Home. :&gt;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">I finally get a nom! Woo! :D

TMG:<font color="#000000">...looks like the liion's share of PC RP goes to Thomas today. ^^; the only nom I can think of is another one for him.

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi did little but sling spells today. XP

Meany:<font color="#8B4500">Cadamon for one shot Helter.

Meany:<font color="#8B4500">Aelian for one-two punch with Tathi.

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">OH. Also nomming Landon for Loot Priorities. XD

Meany:<font color="#8B4500">&quot;You missed? I'll get him.&quot;

TMG:<font color="#000000">of course, this actually shouldn't be surprising.

TMG:<font color="#000000">We are moving into series of combat-heavy segments.

TMG:<font color="#000000">RP, while not eliminated entirely, is going to be downplayed.

TMG:<font color="#000000">So this is probably acceptable.

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">*switching gears from role-play to roll-play*

TMG:<font color="#000000">whup, quickly jotting down EXP...

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">I'll nom Cadamon for focus and leadership. :.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">You'd be surprised, regarding roleplay.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">We could use him full-time. D: Liatai:<font color="#000000">If you'd lengthened your talk with Mr. Johnston, you could have gotten a whole mess of information about the castle ahead. :P

Faerie:<font color="#006666">Derp. &gt;.&gt;

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Knew it. XP

TMG:<font color="#000000">Gasp! A time where dumping Gnogglebolt in front would have been the -better- option? :O

Meany:<font color="#8B4500">Too bad.

Faerie:<font color="#006666">What was the line, ah...&quot;Those who carry clubs tend not to be known for their conversational skills?&quot;

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">diplom- no. :P

TMG:<font color="#000000">(Or Calrach. He's the actual one with +10 diplomacy.)

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">..Thomas just didn't want to face the fact that his enemy, one he was duty-bound to slay, was just.. a nice and affable person.

Meany:<font color="#8B4500">Noms held till end of dungeon?

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">So he pushed for violence. The easy way out.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">I'm also surprised no one investigated the stove. ;3

TMG:<font color="#000000">Hmm. I did note that Thomas seemed to be going for slight zeal at that moment.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">We definitely won't remember the noms by the end. ^^;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Johnston wasn't as nice as he seemed. Since the evidence will be burned to a crisp, probably, when you get back, I don't mind giving this bit of description. x3

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">The roast.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">He pushed himself into it. He was feeling pangs of guilt and self-consciousness just facing the prospect of striking down skeletal maids. He didn't want to contemplate the moral ramifications of assaulting a completely non-combative, cooperative butler. Whose psuedo-life didn't even interfere with the affairs of the living, no less. (Of course, combat revealed his true character. But it was the principle.)

GM:<font color="#000000">When you open the door, an absolutely delicious aroma reaches your nose. A roast is stewing in its own juices nicely in the Mazian oven... though it might not seem so appetizing with a Heal check or Knowledge Nature or Local. That's definitely a section of humanoid femur...

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">knew it. :&gt;

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">and a mazian oven!?!? Tech, I think youz got prisoners to rescue. :&gt;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">No one noticed the two ovens? XD

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Maybe they just imported. It's a castle. :B

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">D: D: D: Liatai:<font color="#000000">Aw. :B

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Nice things should be no shocker.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Alas~

GM:<font color="#000000">All right, any more noms?

Cadamon Gardner:<font color="#000000">&gt;: GM:<font color="#000000">Oh fine. :P

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Awww. We still wuv you.

Cadamon Gardner:<font color="#000000">:D

GM:<font color="#000000">Anything more?

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

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Cadamon for ruler thwapper. (NO SWEARIN'.) *schoolkid sized Thomases and Flints sit behind desks with huffy looks =3=*

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">*Pan to the playground. It's on fire. Tathi was there.*

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">We should write that idea down.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">... if Thomas was a kindergardener Cadamon wouldn't even be old enough for school yet. :B

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">I do sometimes forget the twins are 28. I.. really should think of a better token image for their mother than Astrid. She would need to be atleast in her 50's, maybe 60's. =3=;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">But work is nigh.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">All right. Campaign saved, server may be shut down anytime, Ghost. :3
