Ghostwish has connected.

TMG has connected.

Meany has connected.

Liatai:Mm'kay. Meany, do you see that big ol' blob of green I was talking about? :3

Liatai:... need moar towns on this map.

Liatai:... need moar names for towns. :B

Meany::B

Meany:I see the blob.

Meany:Which has apparently grown since last night.

Liatai:Hm?

Liatai:I haven't touched up the blob any. o.o

Meany:I don't remember it going that far north.

Railock has connected.

Liatai:Oh. Well, it does. :B

Meany:Harrrow.

Liatai:Hallo. :3

Railock:<font color="#000000">still havent found any decent token pic, hah. and I'll be afk a lot whie watching today, need to catch up on some homework

Meany:<font color="#990000">*shifty*

Railock:<font color="#000000">good thing I''m not joining today heh

Meany:<font color="#990000">Have you checked Lia's archive?

Meany:<font color="#990000">She's got oodles of tokens in her Video Game Characters archive.

Meany:<font color="#990000">Not a portrait, but eh. ;B

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Silly, that's why I labelled each token with the character's name.

Meany:<font color="#990000">:BBB

Liatai:<font color="#000000">A Google search will usually bring you straight to the character's full image.

Railock:<font color="#000000">I dont have this archive so

Liatai:<font color="#000000">... hmmm... I forget where it's hosted, but I can start pulling out tokens, maybe?

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Light to no armor, dark hair possibly of an odd color, typically desert attire, twin swords if possible? Got an age range in mind?

Meany:<font color="#990000">http://www.srcf.ucam.org/~dm510/tokens/Video%20Game%20Tokens%20from%20Liatai.zip

Liatai:<font color="#000000">And male, I'm guessing -- ah, Meany's got it. :B

Meany:<font color="#990000">Plus, we can drag out tokens for ye in the interim.

Railock:<font color="#000000">probably no armor at all. since I'm looking at probably a 20+ and rising dex.

Railock whispers: just checking, I wont be coming in today right?

Liatai:<font color="#000000">That's not my only token archive, either.

Meany:<font color="#990000">:V

You whisper to Railock: No, you're not. The soonest you'd be able to enter would be the session after next.

Railock whispers: so like two weeks? okay

Tokens dropped onto map 'Thalinde'Skrimir (EARS):<font color="#990000">There needs to be someone with this token.

Skrimir (EARS):<font color="#990000">It is too pretty to sit around.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">x3

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Where are you pulling tokens out, Meany?

Meany:<font color="#990000">Area where the party is.

Meany:<font color="#990000">Looking for dark-hair, dark-skin.

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

Meany:<font color="#990000">Thalinde at present.

Tokens dropped onto map 'Thalinde'Tokens dropped onto map 'Thalinde'Tokens dropped onto map 'Thalinde'Tokens dropped onto map 'Thalinde'Tokens dropped onto map 'Thalinde'Ghostwish:<font color="#7F00FF">brb, bio!

Tokens dropped onto map 'Thalinde'Tokens dropped onto map 'Thalinde'Tokens dropped onto map 'Thalinde'TMG:<font color="#000000">back! Catching up with everything...

Tokens dropped onto map 'Thalinde'Meany:<font color="#990000">Yo.

Jahn:<font color="#000000">This one is currently being used by an NPC, but that can change.

Tokens dropped onto map 'Thalinde'Railock:<font color="#000000">nah. I'll look around. seems I have a decent amount of time to find one

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Okay, fair enough. :3

Meany:<font color="#990000">Aight.

TMG:<font color="#000000">Liatai: ... need moar towns on this map.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">If you find a token that you like, but it has the wrong skin or hair tone, you can always just let me know and I can play around in the GIMP to change that.

TMG:<font color="#000000">Nh, don't try and put -every- single hamlet and throp in existence on the map. That's madness. We can assume there's little places filling up all the 'empty' space

TMG:<font color="#000000">the map is for important places. :B

Liatai:<font color="#000000">But I like how populated it is along the river and central Akellon and -- :B

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Must have moar towns. *_*

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

Meany:<font color="#990000">She's gone dragon!

Meany:<font color="#990000">Hoarding civilizations!

Ghostwish:<font color="#7F00FF">back!

Meany:<font color="#990000">RUN YOU FOOL.

Meany:<font color="#990000">I mean yo.

Railock:<font color="#000000">do it! hehe. put em on different layers, like major on the background layer, and small on object, then you can go to object, select em all, and switch em player visible on and off

Meany:<font color="#990000">Or just put them on the Hidden layer.

Meany:<font color="#990000">;B

TMG:<font color="#000000">reading up on end of last session...

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

GM:<font color="#000000">MAP ALL THE TOWNS. *_*

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

Meany:<font color="#990000">Yo~

Andromeda:<font color="#009900">^_^

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Is this Lizzy?

TMG:<font color="#000000">That is Lizzy

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Hi Lizzy. :3

TMG:<font color="#000000">it'll take awhile for her to load, probably...

TMG:<font color="#000000">...no, wait, she's already loaded, she replied. Duh. :B

GM:<font color="#000000">We'll be starting on the Cygnet, so hop over there when you have the chance.

TMG:<font color="#000000">Ah yes, that's right, Gnogglebolt and Aelian were walking back to the ship after talking with Marathal

Meany:<font color="#990000">And the ship is in flames.

Meany:<font color="#990000">Everybody's dead.

Meany:<font color="#990000">And this time there's no one to dig the holes.

Meany:<font color="#990000">:|

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

RAM:<font color="#990000">Here I am!

RAM:<font color="#990000">What did I miss?

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Here you are!

Meany:<font color="#990000">Much.

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

Meany:<font color="#660000">Yo.

Meany:<font color="#660000">I'm going to go check on the status of pizza lunch.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Basically me hoarding towns and some talk about Railock's token. :B

* Dr. Hatari appears.

RAM:<font color="#990000">Oh, cool.

RAM:<font color="#990000">So.

RAM:<font color="#990000">I now have a bitching graphics card.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Sweet. :D

Meany:<font color="#660000">LUCKY.

RAM:<font color="#990000">I just need something to test it on...

Meany:<font color="#660000">TF2?

RAM:<font color="#990000">MEANY!

RAM:<font color="#990000">Stop using my color!

Ghostwish:<font color="#7F00FF">lulz

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Well.. the traditional benchmark is the latest UT game.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Or more recently, Crysis 1.

Meany:<font color="#660000">BITCH, I AM BLACKER THAN YOU.

Meany:<font color="#660000">BETTER RECOGNIZE.

RAM:<font color="#990000">Well, WoT will now run on the &quot;high&quot; graphics preset.

TMG:<font color="#000000">So, Lizzy is loaded now. :U And quick rundown for you of who's who..

RAM:<font color="#990000">We has a Lizzy? :O

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">I am Meany's char.

TMG:<font color="#000000">I play Gnogglebolt, the gnome tinker. Ram plays Shankfang, the halforc daka biker fighter. Hatari plays Thomas, the human cleric. VAE plays Miron, the gnome archavist (crazy and paranoid!), Alex used to play Elros the Ranger, but he's left now, and elros is an NPC. Ghostwish plays Tathi the wood elf fireball wizard (as well as Aelian, another half-elf ranger, her lover and cohort in games term) and Meany plays Sszeyl, the drow monk

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Hy em Rem's character!

TMG:<font color="#000000">Did I miss anyone? if I didn't, then everyone ese is an NPC

TMG:<font color="#000000">under control of the DM, Liatai

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">This is me, TMG

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Hy hef a Jaegermonster accent!

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Let's ease up on the crazy talk regarding Miron, eh? ^^;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">There's no denying he's paranoid, but crazy is stretching it.

TMG:<font color="#000000">:( fine... :B

Ghostwish:<font color="#7F00FF">mmm, I just say tech mislabeled it.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Und Hy em engaged to Gnogglebolt's sister, Talfeera. He does not approff.

Ghostwish:<font color="#7F00FF">He's not crazy and paranoid.

Ghostwish:<font color="#7F00FF">He's paranoid to the point of being crazy. ;)

Ghostwish:<font color="#7F00FF">There's a difference between a healthy dose of mistrust, and straight out delusional.

Ghostwish:<font color="#7F00FF">Miron's guage is starting to get a little far over, that's all. ;)

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Trying to grab the lynx...

Ghostwish:<font color="#7F00FF">Hold on.

* Ghostwish hops into his D2.

* Ghostwish fires a broadside at the lynx's turret.

* Shankfang the Deffrider loads up his T-127 and flanks!

GM:<font color="#000000">Aside from tankish, how are folks today? :3

TMG:<font color="#000000">Ohyeah, and since Liatai hasn't said it yet, audiences are welcomed to throw popcorn at the stage, right? :U

Ghostwish:<font color="#7F00FF">TANK TANK TANK. TANK TANK! TANK. TANK TANK.

TMG:<font color="#000000">Fired up and ready to go!

GM:<font color="#000000">But of course. x3

RAM:<font color="#990000">I've upgraded my computer! I'm great!

GM:<font color="#000000">Audience members are encouraged to ask questions and throw popcorn. :P

RAM:<font color="#990000">My Chi is mad focused, yo!

Ghostwish:<font color="#7F00FF">Heck. Miron's the same as Tathi in that regard.

Ghostwish:<font color="#7F00FF">Tathi's not crazy. But she's definately not stable either. ;)

GM:<font color="#000000">... so I was looking at the 365 Character Questions document, and noticed that today's is surprisingly relevant.

Ghostwish:<font color="#7F00FF">Ooooo! Ask ask ask!

GM:<font color="#000000">&quot;A law enforcement officer stops your character for a minor violation. How does she react?&quot; :B

Tathi:<font color="#7F00FF">Tathi gestures and chants, and then flings her hand forward, sending what looks to be an arrow made out of fire towards the enemy... That is, until it suddenly detonates with an ear-pounding explosion, dealing &#171; &#160;8d6 = 29&#160; <font color="#7F00FF">&#187; fire damage to every poor sap unlucky enough to get caught in it! Reflex 18 for half!

Liatai:<font color="#000000">How did I guess. :P

Aelian:<font color="#7F00FF">I apologize profusely for Tathi. -.-;;;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;&quot;HYU KAN' KATCH ME HY HEF A DEFFBIKE!&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">VROOM!

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Depends on the violation, but most likely is I apologize, because I surely was not aware of it, and I pay whatever fine or service is required as soon as possible to get it out of the way.

Tathi:<font color="#7F00FF">Allright, serious time. Ultimately it depends on who the officer is. If it's some human, I typically just blow them off., and continue to practice my magic, on them if they persist. Elves have had laws longer than humans have had written languages. Now if it's an elven one, I apologize for the lab explosion.. for probably the third time that week.

Aelian:<font color="#7F00FF">A minor violation? Me? Allright, immediately I know something is up, and I'll follow the full process of the law to find out what!

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">Throw smokebomb. =w=

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">My bike goes faster than them.

Ghostwish:<font color="#7F00FF">hey! who was saying I had an outdated magic missile macro!? No I don't!

Ghostwish:<font color="#7F00FF">Next question? :&gt;

GM:<font color="#000000">Right. Audience members, if you have any characters from anything you'd like to join in this silly warmup question-and-answer session with, feel free. :3

Ghostwish:<font color="#7F00FF">Or heck. Post a question. :&gt;

Andromeda:<font color="#009900">I'm fine, thank you though.

GM:<font color="#000000">&quot;Does your character like to cook? If so, what does he/she like to cook, and how good is he/she at it?&quot;

* Dr. Hatari is eating breakfast. =w=

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">The last time I tried to cook, it tried to eat my face. And then tried to eat Thomas' face. I haven't been allowed to cook since.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">I am a horrible cook.

Tathi:<font color="#7F00FF">Pouring over tomes all day long doesn't do much for one's kitchen skills. I'm a peckish eater anyway.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">I'm...not much a cook, no.

Aelian:<font color="#7F00FF">Eh, I'm more of a survivalist than a cook.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Cooking is not a class skill for me.

Edaric:<font color="#000000">Eh... hit or miss. Most of the time I'm eating at an inn, eating trail rations, or eating whatever Ael scrounges up.

Aelian:<font color="#7F00FF">And mocking my cooking the entire damn time. &gt;:(

Terri:<font color="#000000">I like frosting cookies! :D

Terri:<font color="#000000">(Getting the bowl afterwards is awesome. =3= )

Tathi:<font color="#7F00FF">Terri, sweety, you're a child. You'd frost anything if you could get away with it.

Terri:<font color="#000000">Gasp! How did you know?! :O

Tathi:<font color="#7F00FF">Centuries of elven knowledge. (bluff bluff bluff to the lou my darlin!)

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">Swan Song help us, for apparently we are all fail cooks. =w=;

GM:<font color="#000000">&quot;From your point of view, what is your character's worst flaw?&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#7F00FF">&quot;Hmph!&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#7F00FF">Tathi.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Hmm...

Tathi:<font color="#7F00FF">Fine. I know I'm a loose cannon. But people better watch themselves! Because I am one hell of a cannon!

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Well, we just went over this -huge- thing last week about how this guy's supposed to be Neutral Good, not Lawful Good. :B

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">But oh well.

Aelian:<font color="#7F00FF">Pfffft, please, you're just as lawful as I am!

Aelian:<font color="#7F00FF">Anyway, my flaw. Huh. Nothing immediately springs to mind.

Edaric:<font color="#000000">Ed, you need to tone down the martyr streak. :P

Tathi:<font color="#7F00FF">Okay skinny.

Aelian:<font color="#7F00FF">Hey!! I'm a peckish eater too!! &gt;:O

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Well, I'm pretty trigger happy...

Teeny Rin:<font color="#FF0000">It isn't his fault, remember the cooks discussion a few lines ago? *bricked*

Tathi:<font color="#7F00FF">*swats the hatari out of the rin, and then scoops him into the thomas* ANSWER QUESTIONS.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">But I'm eeeaatingggg. =3=

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">Swallowtail... you need to stop treating everything like a mission and have a little fun every now and then. Fun that doesn't involve stealing things or hitting things. :P

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Oh, ... I don't know. &gt;: I had always learned the best gauge of one's own flaws was one's peers.

Terri:<font color="#000000">Terri you need to develop a sense of danger. =w=;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">Back from surprise chore attack.

GM:<font color="#000000">Let's have the inverse. &quot;From your point of view, what is your character's greatest strength?&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#7F00FF">&quot;Ohhh, I'm sure Aelian knows that one.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Well, I'm pretty trigger happy...

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Oh that one's easy. =3= *opens character sheet* Strength.

Aelian:<font color="#7F00FF">&quot;The ass. Definitely the ass.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">*BRICKED*

Tathi:<font color="#7F00FF">Holding up a small glass rod as she chants, Tathi sunders the battlefield with a blinding blue streak of lightning! DC17 for half damage, or suffer the full &#171; &#160;7d6 = 25&#160; <font color="#7F00FF">&#187; damage!

Aelian:<font color="#7F00FF">I REGRET NOTHING-

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">I got a plan for everything--dammit! That's why I'm so lawful. &gt;.&gt;

Tathi:<font color="#7F00FF">&quot;My will. Damn undomitable thing, be it for better or for worse.&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#7F00FF">&quot;Pure persistence.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">Ed... conflict resolution. Seriously, as a DM, one of the main reasons I keep him around is to smooth out arguments. :B

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">My greatest strength really is my greatest weakness. :B

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">I thought that was also my job? :.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">(most of the time. &gt;.&gt; )

Aelian:<font color="#7F00FF">Sorry Gnoggie, but you're not as good as Ed is.

Edaric:<font color="#000000">You've been causing arguments lately, and it never hurts to have backup anyway. ^^;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">You tried to shoot me with a shotgun!

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

Ghostwish:<font color="#7F00FF">wow. See? The lightning bolt macro is out of date.

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">Swallowtail... her flexibility. She's pretty good at going with the flow, and finding something to do no matter what happens.

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">Sszeyl's willlfullness.

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">He has the confidence to do what -he- thinks or rather knows is right, regardless of whom is trying to do the inverse.

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">And has the mental certainty that, because of his willfullness, all his actions are his own choosing, and accepts the consequences, if any.

TMG:<font color="#000000">Hokay, been an hour, still no sight of lynx...shall we just start, and he can hop in when he arrives?

GM:<font color="#000000">Well, we've gotten your point of view, players, let's get your characters to do a little introspection. &quot;From your character's point of view, what is his worst flaw?&quot;

GM:<font color="#000000">Sure, we'll just finish this question.

Tathi:<font color="#7F00FF">Well crap. That's what I did last time.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Well, I'm pretty trigger happy...

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Hmm. From character's point of view...

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">Hmm.

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">My lack of social skills.

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">I just don't know how to...talk to normal people. =3=

Tathi:<font color="#7F00FF">I'll have to do the opposite then. I know Tathi's greatest weakness is her own trauma she's been hauling around for decades now.

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;What do you mean your father figures never threw knives at you?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Oh god oh god oh god oh god I don't know what to do I have to put on a face I'm riddled with crippling self-doubt but can't let anyone know because I'm the pillar of support and things have been going wrong anyways but I have to ARGH

Aelian:<font color="#7F00FF">Aelian is.. well-rounded. He doesn't have any glaring weaknesses.

Edaric:<font color="#000000">I'm nowhere near as strong as I'd like to be in battle. Sure, I can cast some magic and support people, but Aelian's death really threw it into the light that even when I'm standing right next to them, I can't always save the people most important to me. I need to change that. Soon.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Any time I fail to resolve a conflict, I feel it is a shortcoming of myself, I guess.

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">I can lend you my Ogre Gauntlets, if you want. :.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">And yes, OOC, I have been causing some arguments lately(particularly around shankfang). I'll be getting some real development when that actually, really -hits- me. :B

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">''Stupid. Kellon. Common.'' &gt;:|

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">I know, right?

Teeny Rin:<font color="#FF0000">YOUR LANGUAGE IS SILLAY

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">BITCH

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">Will someone please explaining me Common?! /CobraDays

Teeny Rin:<font color="#FF0000">NICE PIWAFWI

RAM:<font color="#990000">I love Cobra Days.

RAM:<font color="#990000">Too bad it's discontinued.

TMG:<font color="#000000">Swallowtal -must- say &quot;I am stucking in a tree in the raining. I'm a peach.&quot;

GM:<font color="#000000">Right, still no sign of the lynx, but we can proceed and he can hop in when he shows up.

GM:<font color="#000000">Roll call!

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

RAM:<font color="#990000">My Chi is mad focused, yo!

Tokens dropped onto map 'The Cygnet'Meany:<font color="#660000">;ksv

Ghostwish:<font color="#7F00FF">.. okay I have to say yes. XD

GM:<font color="#000000">Is a lynx! :o

* VAE fell asleep ugh

* VAE sorry lynx

* Liatai pats and offers tea. ^^;

* Meany throws fish at Vae.

VAE:<font color="#000000">And why is gnogglebolt overboard?

Liatai:<font color="#000000">-- and the dog is whining, so take a few minutes to get situated.

Meany:<font color="#660000">He's drowning.

Meany:<font color="#660000">Aelian's trying to save him.

Meany:<font color="#660000">But is also drowning.

Aelian:<font color="#7F00FF">I'm teaching this damn midget how to swim!!STROKE. STROKE. &gt;:O

VAE:<font color="#000000">uu whay

* VAE goes missing for an hour and all hell breaks loose

Meany:<font color="#660000">Pancreas.

Ghostwish:<font color="#7F00FF">NO, GOOD SIR. I SAY NO. WAFFLES.

GM:<font color="#000000">Last session on Akellon...

Meany:<font color="#660000">LET US COMPROMISE.

Meany:<font color="#660000">BRANDY.

GM:<font color="#000000">POP QUIZ.

GM:<font color="#000000">What do you remember?

Ghostwish:<font color="#7F00FF">I FIND YOUR OFFER TO BE WALRUS. WE SHALL OSCILATE.

Tathi:<font color="#7F00FF">Wait, what? Who is that? What is that? I don't remember this. Did the DM explain that? Is that part of our objectives?

Meany:<font color="#660000">Tathi burninated a baron.

Meany:<font color="#660000">We're all going to be killed in the night by ninjas.

RAM:<font color="#990000">TATHI THE BURNINATOR!

Meany:<font color="#660000">Except Swallowtail.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Insane gnogglebolt plotting with the drow

Ghostwish:<font color="#7F00FF">how is anyone going to remember anything else. XD

Meany:<font color="#660000">Ninja Union rules a Ninja may not kill another Ninja.

GM:<font color="#000000">Okay, ASIDE from Tathi blowing up a baron, what do you remember. :P

Meany:<font color="#660000">Miron got drunk.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">I got to talk to Talfeera!

Ghostwish:<font color="#7F00FF">Okay, Tathi got the seeds, and she wants to go see the person with the trees. But, a baron hit on her and insulted here, causing the half-cocked loose cannon to go off.

TMG:<font color="#000000">We finished talking with Pellan'Zyne aka Marathal

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">:3

Meany:<font color="#660000">Gnogglebolt played with Twist while talking with Marathal.l

Meany:<font color="#660000">Mace started spying on healers.

Meany:<font color="#660000">Much drama was had.

TMG:<font color="#000000">we went back into town...Tathi flew off the handle. Everyone ties to figure things out...there was also Gnogglebolt's big after-talk with pellan'Zyne before Tathi flying off the handle

Meany:<font color="#660000">I bought Swallowtail some shoes.

TMG:<font color="#000000">and now the sun's well set, and the last stragglers are headed back to the ship

* VAE goes to look at the log, because he needs to know exactly how much Miron heard of the conversation

TMG:<font color="#000000">oh yeah, and. :B http://thecobradays.net/view.php?date=2006-05-17

GM:<font color="#000000">Sounds about right. Though hopefully at least someone, if not Tathi, remembers that apparently tomorrow the drow with mithral armor is coming to Thalinde, and the Guardians have been offered the chance to meet him.

Tathi:<font color="#7F00FF">Wait, what? Who is that? What is that? I don't remember this. Did the DM explain that? Is that part of our objectives?

Ghostwish:<font color="#7F00FF">OW OW OW okay okay I'll quit! XD

TMG:<font color="#000000">Ah yes. And the next day, Altonor is planning to come over. Tathii -was- supposed to meet him, but...

GM:<font color="#000000">Ghoooooost. :P

TMG:<font color="#000000">We'll see. :B

Meany:<font color="#660000">Oh shit.

Ghostwish:<font color="#7F00FF">Yessssssssss? OOPS FINGER SLIPPED-

Tathi:<font color="#7F00FF">Wait, what? Who is that? What is that? I don't remember this. Did the DM explain that? Is that part of our objectives?

Meany:<font color="#660000">No one told the Captain that.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">I did!

Meany:<font color="#660000">We need to ask if that's even okaty.

Meany:<font color="#660000">okay possibly.

Meany:<font color="#660000">Oh, good.

GM:<font color="#000000">Okay, here we go. It's the night of Yondallon 10th, 1221 CA. And Shankfang cleared everything with the captain. :3

* Meany gives Shankfang a banana sticker.

Meany:<font color="#660000">POP QUIZ.

GM:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt, Aelian, and Tavia are returning to the ship for the night... take it away! We're on The Cygnet, for audience members.

TMG:<font color="#000000">oh yes, and now, Elros is an NPC. :.

Meany:<font color="#660000">Which noble class typically keeps a dominion close to their nation's borders, and maintains fortresses inside that dominion??

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

Meany:<font color="#660000">Yes!

RAM:<font color="#990000">YOUR MOM!

* Meany gives Liatai a banana sticker.

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">After having a chat with Aelian about Tathi, two two arrive at the cygnet and board it. It's getting really late, so Gnogglebolt just wants to get some sleep. However, a talk with the captain first is in order...he doesn't know Shankfang took care of it already.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">He goes and knocks lightly on the captain's cabin

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

TMG:<font color="#000000">Oh yeah here it is. :&gt; http://thecobradays.net/view.php?date=2006-04-21

Aelian:<font color="#7F00FF">Aelian arrives back at the ship, and quickly finds Tathi down below in the mess. He's glad to see that nothing is on fire.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt thinks that odd. He sees Edaric on the deck, and wanders over to him.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Ohwaitshankfang'srightnexttohim. &gt;.&gt;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt walks over to Sszeyl then! &quot;Hey, Sszeyl, do you know where the captain is?&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;So...vat instruments do hyu play?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;His son is standing right beside you. I do not know where the Captain is, but I speculate it is below

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">belowdecks.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">*

* Edaric reaches back and taps the neck of the lute on his back with a smile. &quot;Lutenist. Though I've been working on picking up guitar. Played a banjo for a while, but it's just not the same. How about you? Do you play anythng?&quot;

Mateo Selkirk:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hoy.&quot; :3

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hoy!&quot; :D

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh! hello, little Mateo! Do you know where your father is?&quot;

Mateo Selkirk:<font color="#000000">&quot;Aye sir. He's in the galley.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Do guns kount?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Ah, very good. Also...&quot; Gnogglebolt looks at the two human children, oddly about the same size as he is.

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

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

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;I don't think guns count as musical instruments, no. I've never heard any music written for explosives.&quot; :P

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;The one thousand eight hundred, and twelvth musical composition supported by Orgolloyss.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;I know we're in port right now, but things were... a little troublesome in town, and we did promise the captain that we would keep you safe--&quot; Gnogglebolt looks at Mateo, &quot;As well as your own father that we would keep you safe,&quot; Gnogglebolt looks at Terri, &quot;So...Since the sun has gone down, you two should probably stay belowdecks. I know it's not very fun, but it's better safe than sorry. You alreayd know you can't be in the crow's nest anymore, but also if the sun is down, you two shouldn't be out here.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;It makes use of large sums of Alchemist's fire.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt gives them a playful frown. &quot;I know, I know, I'm being big and mean and not fun....but still, I would be happier to know you two are in a safe place.&quot;

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;But why?&quot; :\ &quot;I can see in the dark just fine.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Den no, Hy do not play henny instruments. Most uf my focus vas on learnink how to fight, und how to use Mazian devices und such.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;Human adults tend to be idiots in large groups, Terri.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;They'll attack children out of spite.&quot;

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;But there aren't even as many humans here as there are in Castleton.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">Anyways, as soon as Miron wakes up, and the effects of yesterday enforced drinking spree let go a little, he sends the following sending to Commander Ashmore.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;it's just....please, Terri. It's bedtime for you, anyway. Didn't you pomise your father you would remember to brush your teeth?&quot;

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

TMG:<font color="#000000">Danman./

TMG:<font color="#000000">Not morning yet.

VAE:<font color="#000000">not morning yet?

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">Ignore, then

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;But if it's dangerous, isn't it better to have extra eyes around to see in the dark?&quot;

* Ghostwish shoots out VAE's engine. ^.^

VAE:<font color="#000000">That means i can go make some eggs, because Miron is in booze-induced sleep.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;it's not that it's dangerous, really... I don't expect anything to happen honestly, and Elros up there has some of the greatest eyes I've ever met. Don't you, Elros?&quot; Gnogglebolt turns and calls up.

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;He's trying to get you to go where it is safe, so your father doesn't boil him alive, and out of worry for your safety, methinks.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">=3=

Ezer:<font color="#000000">Mrow!

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;AAnyway, it's just..dangerous for you, children. I know you feel as if you can take on anything...and maybe, someday, you can.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;But for now, we rpromised both your repsective fathers that -nothing- would happen to you. Let's just not take any risks. :&gt; &quot;

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;But -- but I'm a Guardian. Mr. Sszeyl even painted me as one.&quot; &gt;: &quot;I should help protect you, too.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Ahh...&quot; let me put it this way...&quot; Gnogglebolt rubs the back of his head nervously.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Suppose, for example, one of us gets hurt or killed. That'd be very very sad, but that'd be that.&quot;

Mateo Selkirk:<font color="#000000">&quot;I'll go find the captain for you.&quot;

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;If either of youall of us.&quot; Gnogglebolt shuffles his feet.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;If either of you get hurt, then your fathers will kill all of us.&quot; Gnogglebolt shuffles his feet.

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

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;But Dad told me to --&quot; Sense Motive check.

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;And because you're still learning how to fight.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&#171; &#160;1d20+3 = 20 + 3 = 23&#160; <font color="#660000">&#187; Sense motive check!

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">MAXIMUM SENSE.

Ghostwish:<font color="#7F00FF">DAMMIT MEANYT

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

Terri:<font color="#000000">She's barely keeping from blurting something out.

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Sense motive? Hmm. &#171; &#160;1d20 = 11&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Terri:<font color="#000000">There's something more going on here than just a kid wanting to stay out after dark. Gnogglebolt doesn't catch it, though.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;COme oooon, miss terri. I'm worried for you. Can't you please just go to bed and make me not-worry? I'm going to bed myself soon...&quot;

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;-- Dad wouldn't kill you all. I wouldn't let him.&quot; &gt;:|

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Thomas has been retired belowdecks for some short time, laying down early after a frazzling day. He's on the lower bunk below Miron.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...except the whole point of that is you wouldn't be around to not let him. &gt;.&gt; &quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt gently tugs her sleeve. 'Come ooon. At least brush your teeth?&quot;

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;Fiiiiine, I'll brush my teeth.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;And I'll make the most awesome breakfast snack for y'all tomorrow.

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt heads down to the second deck with Terri in tow.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">What happened to our door, anyways. =3=

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh, hello, captain Selkirk, there you are.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;... hey, Shankfang. Random question.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Do you have a bag of holding?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Has anyone talked to you about the possibiity of us wanting to stay here for a day or two?&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Yah.&quot;

Jack Selkirk:<font color="#000000">&quot;Don't worry about it. Your orcish friend's already let me know.&quot;

Ghostwish:<font color="#7F00FF">back from unannouced afk sorry XD

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Ah, Okay then. Nevermind.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt pats Mateo's shoulder as he passes. &quot;You be a good boy, now!&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;It's been bugging me since Braxton. I keep wondering what it looks like in one of those things.&quot; &gt;:d

Mateo Selkirk:<font color="#000000">&quot;Aye, sir.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Lastly, Gnogglebolt takes his pocketwatch to Elros, and works with him about making sure Gnogglebolt wakes up extra early tomorrow...about what time is it right now, o'pocketwatch?

Liatai:<font color="#000000">About 9-10 PM.

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">13pm.

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">:B

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Hyu know, Hy hef alvays vondered dat myself...&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#7F00FF">The elven couple retire for the night. Let the gutterminds wonder.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt asks Elros to make sure he's woken up at around 6 o'pocketwatch, then, after a normal, no-sleeping-in rest.

Miron:<font color="#000000">Except, the above sending took place in his dream. Commander Ashmore requested his presence ,Miron teleported to Castleton, and now is making an extended report to commander Ashmore. Ashmore:Thank you for yor efforts. Inquisitor. It's nice to know just what have you found out. Miron: Commander... Cal'tel: Alberic Ashmore.. Heron Silverthrush.. *Turns to his base form* Miron: By Saint Cuthbert's Cudgel... commander!? But.. why? How? A priest of Saint Cuthbert...holder of the most holy Leaden Mace.. Cal'tel : An ur-priest you mean. You have said it yourself, remember? Miron: Traitor. Your life is a festering abscess on the side of our holy order, and I shall lance it! *takes out mace* Incoming Gnogglebolt shoots him into the back, Miron collapses on his knees Gnogglebolt: Sorry, brother, but I can't allow so many to die by your action. Besides... *pulls up his sleeve with a dark purple spider tattoo, as well as the Raiders' sign* Cal'tel: Thank you, apprentice. *takes out rapier* And now, Inquisitor, prepare to die.

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

TMG:<font color="#000000">what the fuck O_0

Tathi:<font color="#7F00FF">&quot;G'night Gnogglebolt.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh, goodnight, Tathi...and be prepared for tomorrow.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">That's what Miron is dreaming of now. Hence the sending above. I decided to instead of a lame retcon, do it n style

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

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">I like the outlandish Sith Apprentice part. :B

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;... can I look inside?&quot; :3

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

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Cue /Vader Noooooooooo

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">If only you knew the power of the Dark Side.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Right then. Gnogglebolt soundly goes to sleep in the cargo hold, hoping to get that -final- piece of his trucktrain built tomorrow...

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Roll that Craft check, Gnogglebolt. :3

TMG:<font color="#000000">Oh, already? Was going to at least wait for Dawn of New Day...

TMG:<font color="#000000">But okay.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Waiting for RAM's response.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Might as well do it now. :3

TMG:<font color="#000000">Pleeeeeeease let me roll 12 or above....my modifier is +18, the DC is 30...if I can -just- roll a 12 or a bove, this'll be done with...if I roll below that, I'll have to spend -another- day...Here we go...

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Oh, sure! But Hy get to look nekst!&quot; Shankfang unties the bag from his side, giggling to himself, and hands it over to Edaric.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">...ah, if only I could get a +2 circumstance bonus, then I could take 10...

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">But oh well. Here we go...

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">I could help if you asked...

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">You could, you know.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">We have open spellslots and a divine spellcaster.

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Craft (Technological Device--hatari; eh?

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Tathi said that people used to do this as a dare at her academy, so we know it's safe... how wide does the neck on this thing open?&quot; &gt;:3

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Open spellslots on a divine spellcaster. You could get any buff that exists within 15 minutes upon request.

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

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Let's both look.&quot; :D

TMG:<font color="#000000">define 'any buff', specifically, what would be applicable here? And would it last for 8 hours? :B

Liatai:<font color="#000000">We made up a cooking buff. :B

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Genius!&quot; :D

Liatai:<font color="#000000">It could work. :3

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">I suppose not 8 hours, unless you wanted to be better defended. x3

TMG:<font color="#000000">...waaaaaaait a second...

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Okay, ready?&quot;

TMG:<font color="#000000">...Actually, nevermind the buff. I have a -better- idea.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Or, you know, you could ask me for help. I have a +11 mod...

TMG:<font color="#000000">One for good roleplaying. :&gt;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Ready!&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">I think I see what you're gunning for. Good idea.

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;One... two... three!&quot;

TMG:<font color="#000000">That's it, actually! Ask for an Aid Another. From Shankfang.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">On three, Shankfang pulls the bag open and stick his head inside!

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Hurry up to the top deck and you can see two goofballs with their heads in a bag of holding. :B

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">What do I see?

Tokens dropped onto map 'World Map'Shoggoth:<font color="#FF0000">The proverbial darkness stares back at you.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Feel free to make it up. :B

Aelian:<font color="#7F00FF">Aelian wakes up the next morning, and heads onto deck and-... decides to go back to bed.

TMG:<font color="#000000">Liatai; oh, I was going to do this roleplaying in the morning, since that's when the crafting will actually start. :B

Liatai:<font color="#000000">The only definite thing you see is your stuff. The rest? Up to your imagination.

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

TMG:<font color="#000000">..actually, nevermind

TMG:<font color="#000000">Up on deck now it is.

VAE:<font color="#000000">anyways, actually making dinner now, be back in a while

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Down in the cargo hold, Gnogglebolt prepares for sleep...then looks over at the pieces of his trucktrain.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">He's so close. He can feel it.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">So close, in fact...he can't afford any mistakes. Not now.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Oh, yes, and your hair now looks like you've been touching a Van de Graaff generator. :B

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Just one final piece to fall into place, and he will have proven his skills to himselfshite

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Almost forgot.

TMG:<font color="#000000">Scratch ALL of that.

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Has to be made without assistance.

TMG:<font color="#000000">The criteria for entry into the Engineer prestige class is to complete a TS 10 device -without assisance-

TMG:<font color="#000000">*assistance

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

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Well that's lame.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Throw it out that scene was almost cool. :P

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">The rules just rained on your parade fuck them.

Aelian: <font color="#7f00ff">(( seconded! ))

Liatai:<font color="#000000">I would allow it. :3

TMG:<font color="#000000">Nah, it actually makes sense. It's kinda like the Assasins' 'must kill someone for no other reason than money' kind of critera.

TMG:<font color="#000000">it's a proving ground requirement.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Well, your call.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">The assassin requirement is retarded lets not bring that up.

Aelian:<font color="#7F00FF">HAY GUYZ IM GUNNA MULTIPASS AS AN ASSININE.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">... though it is kind of sad no one's there to see Ed and Shankfang being goofballs. :B

* Ghostwish fends away the hundreds of hatari's bricks. XP

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Inside the bag, you can see a bedroll, a winter blanket, and four small potions floating aimlessly about, amongst a veritable miryad of constantly-changing colors. You can't tell where the boundaries of the bag are, as there is nothing for comparison within. It looks as if the colors just stretch out into infinity.

Aelian:<font color="#7F00FF">Says you! I wish I could unsee it!

Aelian:<font color="#7F00FF">&quot;What in the hell..&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">Sszeyl's practicing with his new branchstaff.

TMG:<font color="#000000">I'd like to actually keep it without assistance in the spirit that it is intended, there's actually a bit of a reason for it. The Engineer must -prove- they are the best, and can do it by themselves in order to manage others.

TMG:<font color="#000000">So...I shall trust in the dice. Here we go.

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

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

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Trust in the heart of the cards.

Aelian:<font color="#7F00FF">Aelian reaches over and repeatedly pokes the side of the bag.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Dis is sweet! Dere's so many kolors!&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Here we go. Craft (Technological Device) in advance, DC 30. &#171; &#160;1d20+18 = 3 + 18 = 21&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Noooooooo D: RAM:<font color="#990000">FAIL!

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;I wonder what's making them go all swirly over there?&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#7F00FF">Poke poke prod prod slap punch! &gt;:D

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Yugi, unfortunately, never passed statistics class.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d2 = 2&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Shankfang, you feel a punch through the bag.

TMG:<font color="#000000">Crap, I hope we can get through the entire of Yondallon 11th and get to the 12th while we're playing -today- so I don't get too much EXP...or I could just simply stop taking EXP to delay my levelup. Hoping to not have to do that, but here we go...

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">WHAM! &quot;OW! Vat de hell vas dat?!&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">I've got one? :B

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Shankfang pulls his head out of the bag and, seeing Aelian standing there, growls before throwing a punch straight at his nose!

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;-- Ow! And Ed-poofball pulls his head out of the bag, looking around --

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;Ooh, a brawl.&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#7F00FF">&quot;Would you two quit goofing around for pfffffffffffft ha ha ha haha ha!!&quot; He starts, but cracks up laughing so hard he just falls out of the way of the punch.

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Ael, what the hell?&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#7F00FF">He's doubled over from laughing so hard.

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;What?&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#7F00FF">&quot;Oh.. ha ha, oh gods, ha ha, I see why- ha ha!&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Vat? Vat's so funny?&quot; It seems Shankfang has already forgotten about the punch/kick.

Aelian:<font color="#7F00FF">He finally manages to point. &quot;Go, ha, see Tathi.&quot;

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

Tathi:<font color="#7F00FF">Tathi, quietly enjoying a cup of tea, turns her head and looks up-.. and although she manages to turn her head, it only results in giving Kor a showerful of a mouthful of tea.

Kor:<font color="#7F00FF">What the shit fuck-

Tathi:<font color="#7F00FF">She's laughing so hard.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Yah, yah, my heir. Iz funny. Now kome on!&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#7F00FF">&quot;You didn't seriously!?&quot; She manages to blurt out between gales of laughter.

Tathi:<font color="#7F00FF">&quot;Oh gods what else?&quot; She says, getting up and following. Kor has never looked so indignant. Than again it looks like someone took a firehose to him.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Kome on! Hurry!&quot; Climb climb!

Edaric:<font color="#000000">Here we see the rare long-haired brown poofball, removing a bag of holding from the head of an even rarer long-haired red poofball.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;See!&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#7F00FF">&quot;What is this - oh god Edaric - oh god Aelian&quot; And that's all she can get out. Laughing. So. Hard.

Aelian:<font color="#7F00FF">He's turning as red as his hair.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;BWAHAHAHAHA!&quot;

Ghostwish:<font color="#7F00FF">LIATAI I DEMAND SKETECHES XD

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Here! Catch! And scatter!&quot; Ed tosses the bag of holding to Shankfang -- and then catches sight of Aelian. Cue even more uproarious laughter.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Le Catch!

Aelian:<font color="#7F00FF">&quot;My arrows have considerable range!!&quot; Aelian promises.

Edaric:<font color="#000000">* &quot;So worth it!&quot; XD

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt can hear the laughter even from the cargo hold. ''Sounds like someone's having un. That's good. We need that.'' He smiles as he settles into sleep.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;So vorth it.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">Flee~!

Aelian:<font color="#7F00FF">&quot;Tathiiiiii, when does this wear off!?&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#7F00FF">She can't answer. Completely paralyzed with laughter.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt wakes up early in the morning, much earlier than anyone else thanks to Elros, and immediately sets to work on his device.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">He does, however, keep an ear out for anyone approaching the boat, possibly for Tathi.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">If uninterrupted he works until about 2 pm o'pocketwatch...abotu when he finds he's busted the part he was working on.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Shankfang awakens, mumbling to himself. He goes to roll out of bed...but chatches himself just before going over the edge, suddenly wide awake.

Ghostwish:<font color="#7F00FF">Terri, Sszeyl and Shank for &quot;The Great Chefs of Fail and Fubar.

Cob Oress:<font color="#000000">A nice, simple, non-sentient breakfast is pushed into the Guardians' hands.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt returns to work..and finds that he had dropped his tools right -into- the part.

Miron:<font color="#000000">Miron pinches at his wrist.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">He tries to delicately extract them...but the damage is done.

Cob Oress:<font color="#000000">&quot;There, now go and leave my kitchen alone.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">:O &quot;Tenk hyu!&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Hahah, poor Cob.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">OMNOMNOMNOMNOM!

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;Thanks. =w=&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">''Ouch.. .seems like i'm not asleep anymore.. but what the hell ''

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">We'll be banned from the galley soon.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt then remembers something esle, and before he gets too upset, returns back upstairs

Cob Oress:<font color="#000000">Adventurers. 9_9

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">He goes over to Cob.

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">Sszeyl heads to the deck, seeking a Tom. =3=

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;Hey.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;BythewayIamsosorryI'llpayforallthedamagesIcan'tbelievethishappened...&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus ruffles his hair and blears at the coastline, still feeling a little sleepy.

Miron:<font color="#000000">The smells from food in various states of edibleness aren't a wonder for Miron's stomach ,and as such, he climbs to the deck to get some fresh air.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Good morning.&quot; He offers a smile.

* Cob Oress makes a grunt of acknowledgement, sweeping up the remains of a shot dish.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Morning,&quot; as he opens the hatch

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Wasn't me. &gt;.&gt;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;So, I need to talk to you two.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt shoots Shankfang a dirty look, then heads back out.

* Thomas Lazarus straightens his clothes a little and nods.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Shankfang is too busy eating to notice.

* Terri plays with the muffins... she seems to be trying to get the muffins to stand in line.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">He takes on a slightly more dignified tone. &quot;Certainly.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">*looks at Thomas* &quot;Quite so.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Is this perhaps about Pellan'Zyne?&quot;

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot; Now listen. If I find out you've eaten even one little copper piece... I'm gonna eat'cha.&quot; &gt;:|

Thomas Lazarus: <font color="#ff0000">(( XD ))

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;No.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider: <font color="#990000">(( You so silly Terri. ))

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Oh..&quot; :. &quot;..Well. Ask away.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;But something you said while we called on his hospitality.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;The Mace actually is a law enforcement organization in Akellon?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;It actually has the authority to arrest, and convict criminals?&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus decides to let Miron field that one.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Why do you feel the need to ask?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus: <font color="#ff0000">(( As agents of Cuthburt and true Inquisitors, I'm under the OOC impression they have the authority to arrest, convict, and punish persons guilty of specific crimes. But I leave the exact fluff to the organization's creator and DM. ))

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;Because right now I'm assuming your guild is just that, a guild. With some fancy contracts from the Kellon Crown that mimic powers of the law enforcement.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">*laughs*

* Thomas Lazarus raises a brow slightly.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Fancy contracts. That's a new one. Is that how your society handles things?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;It's an extention of Cuthburt's church, not a guild.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;No.&quot;

TMG:<font color="#000000">Actually, i was under the same impression as Sszeyl here.

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;There is no law besides Orgolloyss. No Law Enforcement besides Orgolloyss.&quot;

TMG:<font color="#000000">DM? You might want to get in on this...

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

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

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

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">A guild could never do the things they do. O_o

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">That would be laughable.

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

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">PMCs.

TMG:<font color="#000000">Aureate Palm is the real official power, Mace is new guys in town, not as official.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Depends where ,techie

TMG:<font color="#000000">So, DM, need you to step in here.

VAE:<font color="#000000">In Castleton, very much so

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

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">They're not the same thing.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Not the same.

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

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">And they would need to be officially ordained by necessity to arrest, for example, elected officials who are guilty of witchcraft.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Which is one of the Inquisitions purposes.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Tech, I'm trying to read, stop non-stop pinging me. They have the authority to arrest people, yes.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">A guild of adventurers cannot do that.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Let me repeat. In places like Castleton, Especially Lorellon and elsewhere, the mace has minor rights. They are allowed to arrest and convict, yes, but they have to deal with stuff through official means. You seen it all.

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

TMG:<font color="#000000">Wait. Pings actually work here in MapTool? O.o (nevermind, just keep reading and typing your answers to all this, forget this)

VAE:<font color="#000000">Basically, the mace can interrogate witnesses, arrest criminals, even mess with property (otherwise we wouln't be able to go into Sargano's tomb)

Liatai:<font color="#000000">No, Tech, but every time a line's posted, it makes a ping sound. :P

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">Only if you aren't having the window as active

TMG:<font color="#000000">You can turn that off, you know that, right? O.o

Liatai:<font color="#000000">VAE's got it.

TMG:<font color="#000000">But forget that, just focus on answering this. -3-

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Yes, I know that, but let's not get off track. :P

VAE:<font color="#000000">And once again, there are places like where Miron joined, that the Mace has a lot of influence in, simply because it's slightly out of reach and out of interest of the Palm

VAE:<font color="#000000">So it's a lot like Braxton Falls - they do most of the law enforcing themselves there

VAE:<font color="#000000">so yeah.. they have legal power, but the extent of it very much depends on where you happen to be

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Yes. In fact, Braxton Falls is a place where almost all of the law enforcement has Mace ties.

VAE:<font color="#000000">And yes. Assaulting an inquisitor would be very, very bad idea almost everywhere.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Note how Tom was treated with more respect when he displayed his badge.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Tech, think of us like Agent Smith XD

VAE:<font color="#000000">Slowly taking the Matrix over.

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

Ghostwish:<font color="#7F00FF">So...

VAE:<font color="#000000">Except if Agent Smith was a metre tall,.

Ghostwish:<font color="#7F00FF">Tathi is Neo?

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

* Ghostwish activates brick shields.

VAE:<font color="#000000">She's Trinity

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Okay, now that this has been sorted out, let's get back IC. :P

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Only Elven. *fireballed*

TMG:<font color="#000000">So, um. What else can you add to this, Liatai? I prefer to hear it from you than danman. &gt;.&gt;

TMG:<font color="#000000">thnan anyone else, really. You're the DM. :B

VAE:<font color="#000000">kiss my furry arse techie

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">let's say in light of your next line I revoke the previous : Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">And you're blatantly biased in her favor also. Ahem. :B

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Can I be Morpheous?

Meany:<font color="#660000">A little off topic.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">There's nothing to add. VAE covered it all accurately. ^^;

Ghostwish:<font color="#7F00FF">gee hatari, are you hinting at something? :P

Meany:<font color="#660000">But, Lia, do you have the link to that jazz song, Sing Sing Sing with a Swing, or something? =3=;

Meany:<font color="#660000">I can't remember it's title properly.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">... I have an MP3 version of it sung by a choir of Kaitos? :B

Liatai:<font color="#000000">But yes, the title is Sing Sing Sing (With A Swing).

Meany:<font color="#660000">It has vocals?

Liatai:<font color="#000000">No, it was just scat.

Meany:<font color="#660000">Thankee. :3

TMG:<font color="#000000">Liatai; well, no one said what the mace -can't- do or where they -don't- have as much influence. :B

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..It may be true that there are some.. jurisdiction issues in Akellon. Especially with the Palm. But we are atleast recognized by the country's government as an authority.&quot;

Meany:<font color="#660000">RAM, NOT A WORD.

Meany:<font color="#660000">NOT ONE WORD.

* Thomas Lazarus frowns. &quot;Why do you ask?&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">For Bastet's sake.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Tech, not the time.

VAE:<font color="#000000">You have seen quite enough to infer. Notice how for example in Castleton, they had to hand the suspects over to the Palm

TMG:<font color="#000000">Alright, alright...

RAM:<font color="#990000">?

VAE:<font color="#000000">In other words, there they can't actually try them and decide on punishment. Only make arrests.

TMG:<font color="#000000">carrying on with this. Hoping to get this day done and to the next one before we end the game today. &gt;.&gt;

VAE:<font color="#000000">There are places where they can do that, for example There's more things, but bloody hell.

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;Mostly, because I didn't actually think your little mission, or Miron's rantings had actual berrings.'

* Thomas Lazarus offers a nervous chuckle. &quot;...&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;I apologize for my lack of respect for your mission, then. :3&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;You've made your opinion well-known, yes.&quot; ^^;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;The overall respect for the Mace in the Guardians is precipitous at best.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;For the Mace, we do have respect.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..But I appreciate the remark. Apology accepted.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;But, we acknowledge that the Mace has a different goal than most of us.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;At present time, we're working at cross purposes. =3=;&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;You have my pity.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus folds his arms and sighs.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;What are you talking about, exactly?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">*takes out his badge* &quot;You can keep your pity. This here is an Inquisitor's badge. It grants us legal protection, allows us to arrest, interrogate, and investigate pretty much everywhere.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;You're caught in the crossfire, of divided loyalties.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;I've been there, it isn't fun.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;If not for Thomas's possession of it, you would have been ripped into chunks by the crowd.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;I doubt that.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Now now, brother.&quot; He forces a smile and tries to keep a diplomatic mood. ^^;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;I have seen it.&quot;

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

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;And I trust my own eyes more than I do your reasoning.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">Reminds me.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;What the Mace wants is ultimately only safety for the public. It isn't different from our goals.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">Must do a CGI version of the Mace's badges

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..Even if sometimes, the road to that end ends up diverging.&quot;

* VAE still has the sketches from what, over a year ago

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;Just in the semantics.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus sighs and murmurs.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Semantics?&quot; *snort*

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Honestly, if we were all friendlier with each other..&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..It wouldn't even be an issue.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">:| Meaningful look.

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;I'm sorry, but I'm not really the one to ask about trust building exercises and such.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;No surprise there.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;Mine would involve what you define torture.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus rubs a temple. =w=;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Nevermind, I suppose..&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Was there anything else you were curious about?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;Gnogglebolt, or Edaric, are the ones you'd want to talk to about that.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;Mostly, you Thomas. :|&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;You seem to be...under quite a bit of stress.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;?&quot; He frowns a little, confused.

Miron:<font color="#000000">*frowns*

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..It's to be expected in a time like this.&quot; ^^; &quot;I'll be alright.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#7F00FF">I drive him to drinking trollololol

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;Not really, from my perspective.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;Stress builds up until it's a detriment.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;What do you even know about our matters?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;Elucidate.&quot;

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

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;What should I elucidate about? Your provocateur attitude, nosy questions, or unwanted advice?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;From your perspective, I guess.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;But I was not speaking to you, but to Thomas.'

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">:|

Miron:<font color="#000000">*shrugs* &quot;My perspective is the only one I have.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Not every one of us carries a guest in their skull.&quot;

Terri:<font color="#000000">Sekrit agent. &gt;.&gt;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">An insightful remark. :.

Ghostwish:<font color="#7F00FF">Your previous character did. :P

VAE:<font color="#000000">ahahah1

VAE:<font color="#000000">ghost wins

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

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;Of course you do.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">SUDDENLY!

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Shankfang!

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;It's just that mine is louder.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh? Please enlighten me.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;HALOO EVERYONE!&quot;

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

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

Miron:<font color="#000000">*crosses arms*

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;Your conscience, your memories, the various people of import who have impressed ideas or behaviors into you.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;Perhaps even your previous life.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I was pretty scared when I woke up to the sound of gunfire. Atleast it was just breakfast.&quot; =w=

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Dem, it's tense up here. So tick Hy feel like Hy kould kut it vith my axe!&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;Hello, Terri, Shankfang.&quot;

Terri:<font color="#000000">!

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Previous life? Now that's a new one.&quot;

Terri:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+2 = 15 + 2 = 17&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; Hide check. &gt;.&gt;;;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&#171; &#160;1d20+5 = 12 + 5 = 17&#160; <font color="#660000">&#187; Spot check!

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Yah, sorry about dat. Bad kinnamon, made de food kome to life.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Spot &#171; &#160;1d20+2 = 15 + 2 = 17&#160; <font color="#FF0000">&#187;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">NOT TODAY.

Tathi:<font color="#7F00FF">&quot;Kor.. why do you smell like tea?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">YOU CAN'T HIDE YOU'RE ADORABLE&gt; *_*

Kor:<font color="#7F00FF">Wicked wench!

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&#171; &#160;1d20 = 19&#160; <font color="#990000">&#187; Spot!

Ghostwish:<font color="#7F00FF">brb!

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Haloo Terri!&quot;

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;Shh. I'm not here. I'm invisible.&quot; &gt;.&gt;;;;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Hy hef Invis-O-Vision! Hy kan schtill see hyu!&quot;

* Terri gasps. :O

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;Time to deploy my secret weapon!&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Saint Cuthbert teaches we only have one life. Why do you think that ressurective spells are only used on those dying in battle? &quot;

* Terri hides in a barrel.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Thomas merely looks increasingly perturbed by the discussion Sszeyl and Miron are carrying. &quot;^^;..&quot;

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

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Oh Terri~! Vere are hyu~?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;I see. Your god is strange, but I accept that there is nothing you can do about that.&quot;

TMG:<font color="#000000">Can I say that at this point Gnogglebolt realizes his part is broken and cannot do any further work on it today, so that I can get Gnogglebolt in on the roleplaying now? :B

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;Thomas, perhaps you should take some time off after the mission?&quot;

* Terri doesn't make a peep.

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;Take up a craft, find a wife?&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Of course.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Shankfang wanders around, pretending to look for Terri.

* Thomas Lazarus closes his eyes and laughs once, softly.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Hmm, Hy vonder vere she vent...&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Thank you for your concern. I may plan something like that.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;My god is strange, yet you speak words of heresy that have less proof to them than a stiff drink of seawater.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;Heresy only applies if I believe in Saint Cuthbert.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;I don't.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;My craft is being an Inquisitor, besides.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I wouldn't mind talking to you sometime, again, and learning more about your philosophies. It's an interesting insight.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus holds up his hands defensively. ^^;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">He crouches down next to the barrel, quietly, so that she would have to peek her head out and look down to see him.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Then how come he grants his might to me, or to his own priests?&quot;

Terri:<font color="#000000">....

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Please, guys.. can't you have an engaging conversation once a day that isn't grating on each other?&quot;

* Terri peeks.

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;I've been trying.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">SUDDENLY!

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Shankfang!

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;BOO!&quot;

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;EEP!&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">*Snatch!*

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt, belowdecks, busts the final component he was working on. Sighing heavily, knowing he has to do more work on it tomorrow, and buy more materials today, weighs heavily on him...but nothing he can do about that.

* Terri is snatched up, giggling.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Dejected, he heads up to the top deck to get some fresh air.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Gotcha Terri!&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Tickle attack!

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Seriously, where do you think the power to smite that dragonfucked weed came from? &quot;

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;Eeheeheeheehee!&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">He comes in on Miron and Sszeyl having a 'discussion'.... &quot;Oh, what now.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus struggles to not snort at 'dragonfucked weed'. =w=;

Terri:<font color="#000000">Fortunately, Terri is too occupied playing to call attention to the bad word. :B

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">...&quot;Miron, I believe you need to refine your grasp of Common.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">And now Terri is being held upside-down by her waist.

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;You clearly are drawing conclusions that are incorrect.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus makes a gently dismissing palm wave at Gnogglebolt. Things are okay here. Mostly. ^^;

Ghostwish:<font color="#7F00FF">back!

Sszeyl: <font color="#660000">(( Wb. ))

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;Eep!&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">And then, she's situated safely on Shankfang's shoulders.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Pray enlighten me, great theologist Sszeyl.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;I did not say I do not believe Cuthbert exists.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;I said I do not believe in him.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt just sighs, and looks at the drow and gnome.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;And I didn't say that the bear shits in the woods, I just said he uses his arse by the tree.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">And now, run run run around the deck!

* Thomas Lazarus remarks frankly and quietly, &quot;Atleast they're talking about something.&quot; =w=;

* Terri giggles, holding on tight!

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;If you cannot act like a civilized person, our discussion is over.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Hold on tight!&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">He's already gone.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt stares at Miron.

* Thomas Lazarus sighs lightly.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;You two are like water and oil.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;How... dare you be so disrespectful, Miron?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Fusel oil?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;I know you hate everything about him, but that was uncalled for.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus raises a brow at Gnogglebolt.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;That is a grave insult, what you just did.&quot;

* Dr. Hatari scrolls. o.o

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Pray enlighten me what did I just do?&quot;

Terri:<font color="#000000">Terri seems to be quieting down, and keeps looking toward Thomas, Miron, and Gnogglebolt.

TMG:<font color="#000000">That's the insult.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">He runs around for a little while, jumping and climbing over various obstacles, generally making sure Terri is enjoying herself, and is too distracted to notice the infighting.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">I guess, alright. :B

TMG:<font color="#000000">And, I'm with Meany, I'm under the impression it was a serious thing back in the day.

Meany:<font color="#660000">But to Orgolloyss, it isn't.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;You don't even know--&quot; Gnogglebolt just sighs in exasperation and turns away.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Business as usual.&quot; Thomas says in a beleaguered kind of way. =3=

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">How is it that ever day he makes me more and more ashamed to recognize him as one of my own?

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Oh? Vo iz hyu brodder?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">''I'm going to have to find a council of gnomes and exile him at this rate. Not that there's any councils left, which is why I'm here in the first place...''

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">By now, Shankfang has stopped next to the railing, so as to better talk with Terri.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">''Or is it just common to Kellonite gnomes? If so, things are worse than I thought...and my mission less certain.''

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;My brother Max. We're gonna go see him after Thalinde before we get to the coast.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">*shakes his head* &quot;Because apparently, calling the Mace 'contractors' and sending me to find a craft and get a wife is an incredible show of respect.&quot;

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

Meany:<font color="#660000">He was speaking to Thomas.

TMG:<font color="#000000">And Sszeyl was directing that to Thomas at the time.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Well.. Miron took it to himself

TMG:<font color="#000000">That's just stupid. :/

Meany:<font color="#660000">That's his own logical fallacy, then.

Meany:<font color="#660000">Moving on.

VAE:<font color="#000000">It sometimes happens. Haven't any of you been in an argument where stuff got misinterpreted?

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Tell me about him. Vat iz he like?&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">He even responded to it then.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Eheh..&quot; ^^; &quot;.. I must admit.. I've been growing vexed by how little respect they've given the Hostel.&quot;

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;Playful, an' happy. An' a really good singer. An' he makes glass stuff.&quot; :o

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">Most of us are foreigners.

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">Do not assume we know your ways.

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">Make it clear.

VAE:<font color="#000000">and to be honest, I myself misread it back then.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt just looks over the side of the ship into town, wondering if anyone's going to come for Tathi today...but, he thinks he might as well get his shopping out of the way.

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;... m'gettin' really worried.&quot; Terri folds her arms.

VAE:<font color="#000000">So then.. given how much noise there is on a ship.. Miron might as well have overheard the &quot;Thomas&quot; at the beginning

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;I'm going into town.&quot; Gnogglebolt suddenly declares to the deck. &quot;I have to buy some more metal parts. I just ruined the final piece of my device and have to try again tomorrow.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Let them come. I have a bullet with their name on it.

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

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

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;How'm I supposed to protect people if they keep telling me to go somewhere else an' keep fighting with each other?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;I'll probably be back in about half an hour. Don't let the ship blow up while I'm gne.&quot; He scoffs.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">*gone

Miron:<font color="#000000">Miron, still thinking. &quot;I think i'm starting to understand something, Thomas. Looking at the drow we have heard about... the platemailed one, Sszeyl..a tendency to ignore authority seems to link through all of them like a red thread.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">because it's absolutely true.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Thank you again, trackers!&quot; Gnogglebolt waves to the four as they point him at Morian.

* Terri looks left and right.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt approaches the wagon.

RAM:<font color="#990000">Lia, did you use my &quot;Traveling Conman&quot; idea?

Joanna Fisher:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hey! If you have any other jobs, keep us in mind! This one led us to some nice ruins and gold along the way!&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Indeed&quot; *laughs*

Rhianis:<font color="#000000">&quot;Joanna...&quot;

TMG:<font color="#000000">We knew about this guy already. :B

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;You could always make some business investments. Earn more back later. That's what Dad did. Interest and dividends pay for the estate.&quot;

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;... c'mon, let's go down to the hold.&quot;

TMG:<font color="#000000">and yeah, he -is- a traveling conman who makes one working product.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Hokay.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Or you could make like me, and blow a whole house's worth on magic boots and cloaks.&quot; He smirks. |3

RAM:<font color="#990000">THAT WAS TOTALLY MY IDEA!

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;... okay.&quot;

RAM:<font color="#990000">It's so awesome you used it, Lia!

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;... okay. This is really, really important to keep secret.&quot;

* Teeny Rin levels tiny binoculars. &gt;|3

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;Until Max says something, at least.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Well, that'd explain why you seem so tired, Tom.&quot;

Ghostwish:<font color="#7F00FF">roflroflrofl Liatai forgot to give Aelian a last name.

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;Do you promise not to tell? ... And not to scream?&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Hokay. Vat's dis secret? Hy promise not to tell anyvone until hyu say so.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Hy promise not to screem, too.&quot;

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

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;You ended up carrying a house on your shoulders.&quot; *laughs*

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Ha, I'll keep that in mind!&quot; Gnogglebolt calls back to the four before turning to the wagon. &quot;Ho there, salesman! You are David Morian, yes?&quot; Gnogglebolt approaches the wagon.

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;... okay.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;That could be it.&quot; He nods in mock-seriousness.

David Morian:<font color="#000000">&quot;I am indeed, good sir! What can I interest you in today?&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">Why does Morian look like Vlad Taltos?

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

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Afk a few shakes

VAE:<font color="#000000">At least, close to it

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Stiffness Panacea?&quot;Gnogglebolt holds up one of the three vials he already has. &quot;I need three more. I'm told that you're out of stock and need a special ingredient. Also, I am the one who endorsed the IOU.&quot;

Ghostwish:<font color="#7F00FF">allright at least this time I can warn you guys of the impending afk. need to go feed the puppy, sooo.. afk!

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

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Shankfang is expecting something totally awesome, by the way.

* Ghostwish swivels his D2's turret to point at tech. &gt;:O

Terri:<font color="#000000">Terri sits on the floor of the hold, and closes her eyes. Nothing seems to be happening at first... but then... her skin starts to change color, and... texture. Small golden scales begin to grow all over her, and her hair turns the same color, melting into her neck and back... slender horns are growing from her head, her cloak is turning into a pair of fan-like wings!

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">:O

TMG: <font color="#000000">I knew it! :o

Meany:<font color="#660000">We all knew it.

Ghostwish:<font color="#7F00FF">Pffft, if you didn't, I'd question your intelligence. :P

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

Meany:<font color="#660000">It was like, the worst kept secret since Cake being fabulous.

Meany:<font color="#660000">Or Ghost being a Moose.

Meany:<font color="#660000">No offense, Lia. :B

Terri?: <font color="#000000">&quot;P-p-please don't shout or anything -- ohhh Papa an' Max are gonna be so mad but I couldn't keep it quiet anymore.&quot;

<font color="#000000"> Have you ever seen a dragon make a D: face before? Now you have.

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

* Teeny Rin snaps photos for the Inquirer. &gt;|3 !

Liatai:<font color="#000000">I knew some of you knew as early as Papa's medallion was seen. :P

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;...Kooooool...&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">Terri is a dragon herself?

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

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Shankfang, apparently, finds this to be totally awesome.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Also, why do I find hillarious that once again it's the inquisitors in the party who have no idea

Meany:<font color="#660000">See, Lia??

David Morian:<font color="#000000">&quot;-- Ah, so you are the one.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Hy never vould hef guessed hyu vere a dragon!&quot;

Meany:<font color="#660000">I told you he was the only one who didn't even speculate.

Meany:<font color="#660000">:B

David Morian:<font color="#000000">&quot;Would you care to step inside so we can work out a price?&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Shankfang, of course, remembers to keep his voice down.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">No idea? Are you serious?

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">:B

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

Terri?:<font color="#000000">&quot;... Really?&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">VAE wasn't thinking hard about her.. thought she wasn't just a girl., maybe some shapeshifter like her father..

VAE:<font color="#000000">but VAE has much, much other things to think about.

Ghostwish:<font color="#7F00FF">so they're gold dragons?

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Her grandfather is was blatantly a dragon from history and her parents are wildly super-powerful people who are also shapechangers. And did you see how much she loved it when I gave her an allowance? =3= *bricked*

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt eyes him for a moment, but says &quot;Sure.&quot; and follows him in. Oh boy. One of those merchants. He knows he has a product that works and is in demand, so he's going to ask a higher price. Still, the lives of the people back at redtree is worth a small hit to an adventurer's pocketbook.

VAE:<font color="#000000">&quot;Well.. though.. .not like I followed the Toris family quite closely&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Just joshing ya. It doesn't even matter. :B

VAE:<font color="#000000">&quot;Trofim cared mainly about Papa, and Miron was there like, once.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Really! But hyu are! Und it's avezum! Und Hy bet hyu kould totally kick ass! Und now Hy'm friends vith a dragon! Dere's anodder check uff de bucket list!&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">VAE.. sort of does keep focusing mainly on what his character is thinking about

David Morian:<font color="#000000">&quot;... There we are. The price is easy enough to work out -- one hundred platinum pieces a vial -- but.... er... the ingredient is a bit more of a hassle.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">i.e. drow

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;I see.... right then. What's this about the ingredient?&quot;

Ghostwish:<font color="#7F00FF">Huh. Well! I was wrong about that! I had them figured for maybe copper or brass.

Meany:<font color="#660000">&quot;Could you please get over your drow fetish?&quot;

Meany:<font color="#660000">*shot*

Ghostwish:<font color="#7F00FF">... oh Liatai can I rock the boat!? Please let me rock the boat!! Please!? Please!? Please!?

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

Terri?:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hehe...&quot; The dragon stands up with a grin, looking quite a bit less sheepish. &quot;... but... you're the only one who knows. Shhh.&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Don't rock the boat (Rock the boat, babay)

Liatai:<font color="#000000">You've already rocked the boat enough. XP

Meany:<font color="#660000">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I82pl3Eaq98

Ghostwish:<font color="#7F00FF">I wanna rock it some more!!! :&gt;

Ghostwish:<font color="#7F00FF">I WANNA ROCK.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Either way, brother. Perhaps what that drow did wouldn't be a bad idea. Buy off unused property.. make sure that necromancers, and other villains can't settle there.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Yah, uf kourse. Hyu secret iz safe vith me!&quot;

TMG:<font color="#000000">So, Liz, if you're still watching, whatch'a think of the game so far? :o

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Cut it out. We're allowed to have some scenes without you Trolling them up. :B

Ghostwish:<font color="#7F00FF">NO YOU ARE NOT. :B

Meany:<font color="#660000">SILENCE, MOOSE.

Terri?:<font color="#000000">&quot;Now you probably get it, though. I could help. I really, really could. I mean, I can breathe fire as a human, too.&quot;

Terri?:<font color="#000000">&quot;But they're not giving me a chance to do my duty.&quot;

Ghostwish:<font color="#7F00FF">.. FINE. STOP ME IF YOU CAN. *evil laughter, on loop*

* Thomas Lazarus shakes his head with mild amusement. &quot;I suppose I could save up and buy my own house.. decorate it up..&quot;

Meany:<font color="#660000">Girl, you're a wrymling.

Meany:<font color="#660000">Given.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Pfft.. next you tell me, you'll get married too, just for the count.&quot;

Kor:<font color="#7F00FF">Hmph! Of all the indignanities and evil! I am out of here. And so the rat scurries down the table leg and away. Tathi doesn't take notice.\

Meany:<font color="#660000">You're probably ECL 10.

Terri?:<font color="#000000">My ECL is higher than yours. =w=;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Vell, my uffer schtill schtunds. Hy vill try to konvince de odders to let hyu kome nekst time, as long as hyu schtay by my side. Do hyu know how to use henny ranged veapons? A krossbow, maybe?&quot;

Kor:<font color="#7F00FF">He squeezes under the door, sniffing away.

Terri?:<font color="#000000">&quot;I can throw little fireballs.&quot;

Meany:<font color="#660000">Dragons have the scent ability.

Meany:<font color="#660000">:B

Kor:<font color="#7F00FF">Cheese? In this room? Sniffsniff. No.

Hakutaku:<font color="#009900">

Meany:<font color="#660000">&gt;:O

Meany:<font color="#660000">SMILEY.

Kor:<font color="#7F00FF">Cheese? Here? Damnit.

Terri?:<font color="#000000">&quot;An' I can use simple ones...&quot;

Kor:<font color="#7F00FF">Sniff sniff. Wait! Something from the hold! What is that smell?

TMG:<font color="#000000">Oh, sorry liz, we have overreactions to smilies because they dont' show up in logs. :B

TMG:<font color="#000000">you can go to edit --&gt; preferences --&gt; uncheck 'insert smilies'

Hakutaku:<font color="#009900">

Terri?:<font color="#000000">&quot;... not so well with these, not that I need them like this,&quot; she says, holding up a clawed forepaw with a smirk.

Kor:<font color="#7F00FF">Hrmph. It's closed. Ha! As if that stops a rat! And now that I am a lean, rugged peice of mousey masculinity- here we go - mmmmmmph

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;Kor, what are you doing?&quot;

Kor:<font color="#7F00FF">POP

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Hokay, Hy promise Hy vill see vat Hy kan do.&quot;

* Terri? suddenly freezes.

Kor:<font color="#7F00FF">HA! I am Kor the invincible! ... what the heck is that smell.

Terri?:<font color="#000000">&quot; ... oh no. &quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">heh.. i think one of the czech songs i'm hearing fits as Tom's theme song

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">SNATCH!

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;Kor, you okay down there?&quot;

Kor:<font color="#7F00FF">ACK! UNHAND ME YOU!

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Eheh.. well. That might have been nice, actually.&quot;

Terri?:<font color="#000000">The dragon quickly ducks behind a crate and shapeshifts again.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;He iz fine! Hy got him!&quot;

Kor:<font color="#7F00FF">I WILL BITE THE EVER LOVING big lizard. o.o

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;But I don't know how I could now that I've begun training as a demonhunter.&quot;

Kor:<font color="#7F00FF">Kor blinks several times. What the snarf.

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;I-it was a spell Kor! A spell!&quot;

Kor:<font color="#7F00FF">Squeak?

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;Alright.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Shankfang glares down at the rat. Gone is the big teddy bear, replaced by a big, mean, angry Half-Orc.

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">You brought this on yourself, rat. :B

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I will not put off my service. Not even for a family. A sweet dream though that was, there's too much sin and corruption in the world.&quot;

Kor:<font color="#7F00FF">&gt;:O! How dare you look upon my magnificence like that! I wiggle my whiskers at you, good sir!

Kor:<font color="#7F00FF">&#171; &#160;1d20-10 = 11 - 10 = 1&#160; <font color="#7F00FF">&#187; intimidate

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Well, unless you find yourself a lady who happens to be an inquisitor as well.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">Lolnope.

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;I always figured you and Anise were at least passingly involved, Thomas.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">His entire demeanor shifts, and he is back to Shankfang the Deffrider, Mazian Biker Gangster. &quot;Hyu sav noddink, onderstund?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">Lol, crack pairing.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&#171; &#160;1d20 = 5&#160; <font color="#990000">&#187; Intimidate.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Pfft.

Miron:<font color="#000000">*stares at Sszeyl*

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">+2 racial bonus?

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

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Even when he's trying, he fails at being scary.

Kor:<font color="#7F00FF">So we have this rat and a half-orc trying to look intimidating and blatently -failing- at it. Oh the hilarity.

* Thomas Lazarus looks back at Sszeyl.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;W-why, exactly?&quot; ^^;;

Kor:<font color="#7F00FF">Kor just puffs up indignantly. He squeaks in defiance at the half-orc.

David Morian:<font color="#000000">&quot;W-well, the fact is... it comes from a very specific place. In the desert.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Which desert?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;Because she kept wanting to come on missions with us, and always seemed happy to see you?&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Shankfang draws his pistol and pulls back the hammer threateningly, an ominous *click* echoing through the hold.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;And you call that evidence?&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus knits his brow. &quot;Huh..&quot;

Kor:<font color="#7F00FF">Wrong move.

David Morian:<font color="#000000">&quot;AndIreallydon'twanttogobackthereagainthedragonwillkillme.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;You. Saw. Noddink.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;I call that grounds for a suspicion of dating.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;She merely seen the potential as an inquisitor Thomas has.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt smacks his forehead.

Kor:<font color="#7F00FF">The rat's eyes go wide.. but he doesn't do anything. At least.. nothing you can detect.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;And believe me.. if it was so, I'd know it.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Okay. What is the ingredient?&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">fun fact.

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;I very much doubt that.&quot;

TMG:<font color="#000000">also; oh dammit ghost.... &gt;.&gt;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Hrm, nothing. Damn.

* David Morian looks at Gnogglebolt like he's grown a second head at &quot;what desert?&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#7F00FF">But Tathi jerks.

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;Your research is best done from books.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">I very much believe the path of rumours would go Anise -&gt; Robin -&gt; Richter -&gt; Miron

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

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Shankfang sighs. He's never been good at intimidation.

Tathi:<font color="#7F00FF">&quot;What the firey hell..&quot; She mutters in elven as she stands up, snapping her spellbook closed.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;There's two deserts around here, last I looked at a map. One to the north and one to the south; Moscra and Falaris Plains. But anyway. What is the ingredient?&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Dammit, vy kan' Hy ever be scary?&quot; Holster of pistol.

Tathi:<font color="#7F00FF">She throws open the hatch, peering down at the half-orc. &quot;Shank! The hells are you doing with my rat!?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;There's two deserts around here, last I looked at a map. One to the north and one to the south; Moscra and Falaris Plains. But anyway. What is the ingredient?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Look. Anise likes to accompany me on interrogations. Is that grounds for suspicious dating too, in your mind?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;More like suspicion of she making sure you don't kill the suspect.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus looks super-suspicious. =w=;;;;;;;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Besides, all of them are my colleagues. Just how long do you think such a thing would be kept quiet?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">*bursts into laughter*

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;That *I* don't kill the suspect?&quot;

David Morian:<font color="#000000">&quot;The desert -- never mind. In an old cave in the desert -- I was there providing refreshments for a group of archaeologists, you see, and my wondrous cream that prevents sunburn. I followed a tunnel, and came across a most wondrous cavern! It was full of bright orange stone, solid to the touch... but slice it with steel, and it cuts like the softest butter!&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;To be perfectly frank.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;You don't want me to answer either of those questions.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Oh. Umm, hey Taddi. Hy vas practicink my intimidation skills. It seems Hy kan' even scare a rat, tough...&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;You never seen us work, did you?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;Or that one.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">:}|

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">:|

David Morian:<font color="#000000">&quot;I took a few samples for my work -- and then heard the arrival of the cavern's tenant.&quot; ^^;

David Morian:<font color="#000000">&quot;Naturally I made myself scarce.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#7F00FF">Tathi looks down at him flatly. &quot;On my familiar? No. Torturing Kor is my job. Hand the vermin over.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;I assure you that if there's someone in the Mace who enjoys breaking a cultist's ugly mug more than myself, it is her.&quot;

Kor:<font color="#7F00FF">&quot;Squeak! Squeak squeak squeak!&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;Breaking mugs, yes. =3=&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Sorry, sorry. Here.&quot; Shankfang hands the rat up to Tathi, looking sheepish.

* Terri stays quiet and hidden.

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;But you have...oh what's the word foor it.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;Anger issues.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">:|

David Morian:<font color="#000000">&quot;... but it is a sliver of that stone that makes my Anti-Stiffness Panacea so powerful.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#7F00FF">&quot;Oh shut it Kor. There are no lizards on the ship. No, I don't want a description, hush!&quot;

Kor:<font color="#7F00FF">Squeeeeeak-

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh, I have anger issues. Because it is me who almost took down a church of Pelor in rage.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;I did not take down the church of Pelor.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;I was on a rampage to kill Zairith at the time. :|&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Only because one of your drowish friend used a torture spell on you.&quot;

Logub Ackerly:<font color="#000000">&quot;Town militia, requesting permission to board!&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus instantly slumps his head towards the deck with a sigh. &quot; This again, already..?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;The church of Pelor would probably only have lost five or ten warrior priests.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#7F00FF">&quot;Swallowtail? Be a dear and help me keep an eye on Kor. He snuck down into the hold.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus looks up flatly. &quot;Thank Pelor.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;The structure itself would have been fine.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Lizards? Iz hyu rat hokay? Sounds like he's seeink tinks.&quot;

Jack Selkirk:<font color="#000000">&quot;Militia...?&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus hails.

Jack Selkirk:<font color="#000000">&quot;Permission granted, gentlemen. What's the problem?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...I see. Well then, I'll be back later for more information, but I have somewhere else to be. Here's payment for the three vials now..&quot; Gnogglebolt counts out 3,000 equivalent gp. &quot;I'll see you later today, or tomorrow.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt then heads out back to the ship.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Shankfang closes the hatch once Tathi has taken Kor away, and sighs in relief.

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot; Ohhhh that was way too close. &quot; D: Miron:<font color="#000000">MIron leaves at the disturbance, giving a last, angry look to Sszeyl.&quot;Town militia? What's going on Thomas? I .. vaguely remember them from yesterday.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">deduct'd 3,000 gp

Tathi:<font color="#7F00FF">Yes it's all the drow's fault haul him away.. :P

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;Tathi made someone explode.&quot;

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt heads back to the ship, with his pack full of metal parts...and sees some official-looking people and guards around the docks.

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;Literally if the smoke was to be believed.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Hy know. Hy managed to talk out uf it, but how about hyu schtay lookink like dat for now, yah?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh Garl's gold, I knew I shouldn't have left..&quot; he picks up speed to get to the pier where the Cygnet it.

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

Logub Ackerly:<font color="#000000">&quot;We're here regarding one of your passengers. Is there a Tathi Ellis --&quot; The old half-orc scrunches up his nose. &quot;Alice --&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Tom.. tell me that bugger is...&quot;

* Logub Ackerly gets out a piece of paper.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;''By Cuthbert's Cudgel ... ''

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

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">Open le hatch.

Miron:<font color="#000000">*pales somewhat*

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;TATHI. VISITORS FOR YOU.&quot;

Logub Ackerly:<font color="#000000">&quot;Bring her out, please.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt comes up the gangplank behind the guards. &quot;Ho, everyone, I'm back....&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Ah, let me guess, you're all here for Tathi?&quot; Gnogglebolt says quickly.

Logub Ackerly:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yes, when she shows herself.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;How about ve head back up, Terri, before zumone gets suspicious.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#7F00FF">&quot;What visitors?&quot; Tathi asks.. although it didn't sound like much of a question.

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;Mm-hmm. Good plan.&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#7F00FF">&quot;Tathi.. Please, these are there laws. Haven't folks respected elven laws before?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;What is ... what is she accused of, Captain?&quot; *to the first guard*

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;Take a wild guess, Ms. Your Head Asplode.&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#7F00FF">*their, goddamnit text speak

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt heads belowdeck himself.

Tathi:<font color="#7F00FF">&quot;But not our ways.&quot; Tathi says cooly as she stands up.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Tathi? Aelian? Are you around here..ah! There you are.&quot;

Logub Ackerly:<font color="#000000">&quot;Aggravated assault, inquisitor,&quot; the half-orc says, ignoring the fact that Miron was talking to one of the humans instead of their superior.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">he looks between the two elvish people. &quot;Aelian? DId you talk to her last night?&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;...Vy are dere guards here?&quot; Shankfang asks, following Terri up the ladder.

Aelian:<font color="#7F00FF">&quot;Hello Gnogglebolt. Tathi, please, just go along with it..&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">:O &quot;Gramps! Haloo!&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Wave wave wave!

Tathi:<font color="#7F00FF">She stops, and turns an indignant look back at Aelian. &quot;Go along with it!? That idiot insulted my honor! I should be allowed to finish him!&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">*shakes his head* &quot;At least she didn't kill... Who did she assault?' This time, to the correct person.

* Logub Ackerly inclines his head slightly to Shankfang. There's work to be done here. He looks back to Miron. &quot;Baron Adalbert Digby.&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#7F00FF">&quot;That idiot, worthless, fat and not terribly hygenic petty noble insulted you.&quot; Aelian replies back.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yes, listen to Aelian, Tathi..it's probably not even going to be that big of a deal. A fine, most likely...just don't make it worse...&quot; he smacks his forehead. So, despite the conversation he had with Aelian, Aelian apparenty never tried to prepare Tathi...

VAE:<font color="#000000">Anyways, this is the song I thought that rather fits Tom at times. I'll translate the lyrics later on, I guess http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gWsH2APZAxA

* Thomas Lazarus folds his arms and sobers.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Baron... bloody hell..&quot;

* Dr. Hatari braces for weirdness. :B *bricked*

Aelian:<font color="#7F00FF">Your guesses are wrong. The argument is yet to end.

Tathi:<font color="#7F00FF">&quot;Hmph.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Oh, iz dis about de person Taddi attacked?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Look, Tathi...that man wasn't even worth your notice.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;What happened, Tom? &quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;He was an odious little toad.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;he shouldn't have even warranted eye contact to someone like yourself.&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#7F00FF">&quot;There, see? Toad. I've called him every vermin and amphibian I can think of.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;You forgot skink!&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;But...you, and you attacked him. And I'm going to do everything I can to help you here...&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#7F00FF">&quot;Nope! Twice!&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;But I can only do that if you prove that you can work with everyone else. Help me help you.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus shrugs slightly to Miron. &quot;It's as you're hearing..&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#7F00FF">&quot;I was in every right to attack him!&quot; She says, but seems to scowl. &quot;You're in another one of your diplomatic binges again, aren't you?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;If we're lucky, we can have thisand over with today.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;If we're lucky, we can have this done and over with today.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">*back to the orc* &quot;Is.. will there be a tribunal?&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#7F00FF">&quot;Remember the Seeds plans Tathi. Your plans for Gnogglebolt. Let him help.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt grins. &quot;It is my specialty, after all.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">No, it's a Quintbunal.

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

Tathi:<font color="#7F00FF">&quot;.. fine. But I am going armed and staying armed. The moment they whip out shackles, I'm whipping out fire and lightning.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...Wait, plans for me?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">Like a tribunal, but with five judges.

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">And a jester.

Tathi:<font color="#7F00FF">She walks past to the ladder and heads up.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...no, nevermind that. Focus.&quot; Gnogglebotl shakes his head to himself.

Logub Ackerly:<font color="#000000">&quot;That depends entirely upon what Miss Ailess -- Tathi does at present.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">And Five teenagers with attitude who are the five judges kids.

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">They're spoiled douches.

* Logub Ackerly has apparently given up on the surname.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt scrambles up the trapdoor, followed by Aelian and Tathi.

Tathi:<font color="#7F00FF">&quot;Eyllisaearsithek.&quot; Tathi says.

Miron:<font color="#000000">*pales even more*

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt quickly runs over to the halforc and lowers his voice.

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">I has fatcat.

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">He is fat.

* VAE jealous

Ghostwish:<font color="#7F00FF">how fat is this fat cat?

* VAE haz no cat in college

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;''So, how is this going to work? What's going on? Tathi...needs a little special handling and I can get her to cooperate, but only if I know what to expect.&quot;''

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">About...medium fat.

Ghostwish:<font color="#7F00FF">fat fat?

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">Just now starting to get friction baldness in places from fat.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">http://fotozup.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/fat-cat-8.jpg

Meany:<font color="#660000">That is not fatcat.

Miron:<font color="#000000">''Hell... one can't leave these people alone for a few hours.. one of them plots with drow.. other decides to murder barons... ''

Meany:<font color="#660000">That's whalecat.

Logub Ackerly:<font color="#000000">&quot;Tathi... Ail-ess-air-are-si-thek. You are charged with the aggravated assault of Baron Adalbert Digby. The baron has agreed to not press charges if paid a sum of three hundred fifty gold pieces in reparations, fifty of which are due to Arivan Marathal for his healing services, and one hundred of which are due to the merchants whose stall was destroyed.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt steps back.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">That's actually about the best thing he could have hoped to hear. He looks back at Tathi go guage her reaction

Ghostwish:<font color="#7F00FF">Thanks for backing up. FIREBALL-

Ghostwish:<font color="#7F00FF">I'm kidding! I'm kidding! I'm not that much of a troll! XD

RAM:<font color="#990000">Yes, you are.

Miron:<font color="#000000">''Saint Cuthbert be thanked.... i'd have her arrested for it. ''

TMG:<font color="#000000">Don't encourage him. &gt;.&gt;

VAE:<font color="#000000">why not?

VAE:<font color="#000000">it's his character.

Ghostwish:<font color="#7F00FF">Oh please. Encourage me. &gt;:)

TMG:<font color="#000000">I was talking to Ram. :B

* Ghostwish evilly rubs his hands together.

VAE:<font color="#000000">She goes haywire, Miron and Thomas try to stop her..

VAE:<font color="#000000">I know

Liatai:<font color="#000000">NO DON'T ENCOURAGE HIM. XD

VAE:<font color="#000000">I just find it irrelevant

RAM:<font color="#990000">Search your feelings, you know it to be true!

* Ghostwish has a cheshire cat grin right now.

Meany:<font color="#660000">Frieza: &quot;Ohohohoh no, don't mind me. By all means; GIVE ME SOME IDEAS.&quot;

Ghostwish:<font color="#7F00FF">lololololololo

Ghostwish:<font color="#7F00FF">Mario: Do it faggit!

RAM:<font color="#990000">DBZA FTW!

VAE:<font color="#000000">If it's within Tathi's character to not take it. well, that's what goes on.

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

Meany:<font color="#660000">What is that?

VAE:<font color="#000000">I mean, we already had Trofim against everyone

Ghostwish:<font color="#7F00FF">&#171; &#160;1d8 = 8&#160; <font color="#7F00FF">&#187;

Meany:<font color="#660000">I can't see it.

Ghostwish:<font color="#7F00FF">ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

VAE:<font color="#000000">That's Mink

RAM:<font color="#990000">Oh god.

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">In tape's shirt

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Mind invading a man's shirt.

Ghostwish:<font color="#7F00FF">Yes? :&gt;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">What are you doing.

RAM:<font color="#990000">That coule be either really good or really bad.

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

Ghostwish:<font color="#7F00FF">I'm not plotting the party's death. ^_^

Meany:<font color="#660000">Not this paty.

VAE:<font color="#000000">it wouldn't be the party's death

Meany:<font color="#660000">party*

Meany:<font color="#660000">That party.

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">Tathi goes haywire, she gets jailed, ghost makes a new character

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Everybody shut up.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Not much happening

* Dr. Hatari taps clock.

Ghostwish:<font color="#7F00FF">Okay okay, I'll quit. Had to dangle my fellow players over the fire for a little bit. &gt;:)

* VAE doesn't see the huge issue with it

Liatai:<font color="#000000">It's going to be a double-strength tea night. =w=;

TMG:<font color="#000000">I just gave up and tabbed out until this was over. :B

TMG:<font color="#000000">Danman; you've forgotten

VAE:<font color="#000000">forgotten what?

TMG:<font color="#000000">if Ghost takes out Tathi, he's coming back with.....DEATHLESS

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

Tathi:<font color="#7F00FF">&quot;Really? I blast a noble and good merchants get business of it?&quot; She says, and smirks.. before she tosses a bag of 200 gold over. &quot;I'll pay them personally then. And tell the baron to watch himself. I've got a second reason to attack him now.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">''Ugh ... ''

TMG:<font color="#000000">So yes, it is a problem to you. ;P

Ghostwish:<font color="#7F00FF">OOOOOOOOOO. Hold on then!

Tathi:<font color="#7F00FF">Tathi gestures and chants, and then flings her hand forward, sending what looks to be an arrow made out of fire towards the enemy... That is, until it suddenly detonates with an ear-pounding explosion, dealing &#171; &#160;8d6 = 28&#160; <font color="#7F00FF">&#187; fire damage to every poor sap unlucky enough to get caught in it! Reflex 18 for half!

Ghostwish:<font color="#7F00FF">I'M KIDDING. XD

VAE:<font color="#000000">techie, you know how to motivate a lynx.

VAE:<font color="#000000">If for anything, entirely OOC reasons

Ghostwish:<font color="#7F00FF">... can I nom tech for snapping a whip on a lynx? :P

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Can we end this scene already its been going on for four hours. =w=;

VAE:<font color="#000000">it's amusing though

TMG:<font color="#000000">Yeah, I want to get a move-on, too.

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">besides, this is nothing like what happened in my game yesterday

Ghostwish:<font color="#7F00FF">Stop ruining my fun you wankers. You've had four solid hours, let me have fucking 20 minutes!

VAE:<font color="#000000">The Grapple Incident

Ghostwish:<font color="#7F00FF">.... Wait.

Ghostwish:<font color="#7F00FF">Liatai? :06

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">:07

TMG:<font color="#000000">Uhoh. Lialag? D: RAM:<font color="#990000">NUUUUU!

Ghostwish:<font color="#7F00FF">She's.. unresponsive. I really hope it was an unannounced afk.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">It was unannounced AFK.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Was grabbing tea to fortify self. :B Reading up.

TMG:<font color="#000000">Oh, whew

RAM:<font color="#990000">Oh, good.

* RAM drinks some Mountain Dew.

RAM:<font color="#990000">Do you do the Dew?

Ghostwish:<font color="#7F00FF">yah tathi mind-controll'd the party and siced em on the guards - *brick-pocalypse*

TMG:<font color="#000000">&quot;By Kagrenak&quot; the alchemist said with a wince.

TMG:<font color="#000000">&quot;I've made a potion of fortify my own intelligence.&quot;

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

TMG:<font color="#000000">No, it's just what I was reminded of.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Before she could, Miron slapped an Excruciator on her.

TMG:<font color="#000000">A funny little story

* Logub Ackerly catches the gold and notes it in his book. &quot;Very well. The merchants you'll be looking for are the carpet sellers, the Selitels. Have them and Mr. Marathal note the guard when you have paid. Until we recieve these notes, however, you are not to leave Thalinde.&quot; He looks to the captain, who nods.

TMG:<font color="#000000">http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Song_of_the_Alchemists

VAE:<font color="#000000">Because it'd mean she's a psyker

* RAM is a Commissar, his faith in the Emperor is too strong for that.

Logub Ackerly:<font color="#000000">&quot;Is this understood, ma'am?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;I'm suddenly in the mood to buy carpets.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">:D

Miron: <font color="#0">(( Tathi Eyillisearsithek, I hereby declare you Extremis Diabolus. ))

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">I'm too broke to buy carpets...

Tathi:<font color="#7F00FF">&quot;Carpets you say. Hrm.&quot; She says, smirking. &quot;Yes, quite perfectly. I'm going to go shopping now. Ta!&quot; She says, and heads off the ship.. unless someone's crazy enough to try and stop her.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;May I come with?&quot; He sounds really tired.

Tathi:<font color="#7F00FF">&quot;Of course! I'll buy you a carpet.&quot;

* Logub Ackerly looks to one of the guards with him and tilts his head in Tathi's direction. The guard breaks formation to follow.

* Thomas Lazarus smiles faintly.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Me too?&quot; gnogglebolt says, smacking his forehead?

Ghostwish:<font color="#7F00FF">crap, brother just called, he's gonna need some help in a moment.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;I will follow too.. better make sure there aren't more problems&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#7F00FF">&quot;I'll buy you a carpet to.&quot; She says, but then looks flatly at Miron. &quot;But not you.&quot;

Logub Ackerly:<font color="#000000">&quot;See to it. As apparently my warning didn't stick last time.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus rolls his eyes. &quot;Nevermind.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Hy kould use a karpet for ven Talfeera und Hy find a place to liff...&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Hint hint.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;I don't have where to put a carpet, anyways.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#7F00FF">&quot;Oh for the love of - Carpets for everyone!&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">:D &quot;Tank hyu, Taddi!&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">Heh.. imagine this scene

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">Woo~

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt smacks his forehead again, then looks to Thomas.&quot;WHy...why don't you take a break, thomas? You look like you need it.&quot;

Sszeyl: <font color="#660000">(( Meanwhile, Zairith scrying on Kor... ))

VAE:<font color="#000000">At least three people, seriousface, following Tathi to buy carpets.

Sszeyl: <font color="#660000">(( &quot;Is that what they're calling it now? Carpets?&quot; ))

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

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Looks like evryone else is going to be there anyway..&quot;

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

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Indeed. Have a rest, brother.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">:D

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">I has purr blackcat!

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;And sszeyl?&quot;

* VAE super jealous

* VAE 's first cat was a blackcat.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;If anyone starts to give you particular stares or starts to move around you in strange ways, will you at least hightail it back to here before something developes, like last night?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Just in case?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;If that will appease you.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;If anything happens, I can always say he's in my custody.&quot; *shows badge*

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Vanna come vith, Terri?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;It would, thank you very much. Alright then...we're off to the carpet merchant...&quot;

TMG:<font color="#000000">(now, is there anyone who actually wants to -play- this out?)

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;... Mm-hmm. Sure. I think I wanna buy a few things while we're in town, too.&quot;

TMG:<font color="#000000">(Cuz I'd rather get to Altonor and wrap this day up. &gt;.&gt; )

* VAE doesn't care either way.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Hokay!&quot; Lift onto shoulders!

TMG:<font color="#000000">We can say it was relatively uneventful and skim over it.

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">CARPETS~

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Tom's plans were simply to linger aboard the Cygnet for the time being.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Shall I assume 100 GP in carpet is bought? :B

VAE:<font color="#000000">Though, if it ever happens, Miron would enjoy the hell out of telling people Sszeyl is under his arrest, and so they don't have to worry.

Tathi:<font color="#7F00FF">One last thing!

Terri:<font color="#000000">Terri also buys... some decks of cards and a few game boards?

Thomas Lazarus: <font color="#ff0000">(( If I'm not mistaken, Tathi had a meeting with someone who knew he father today. ))

Tathi:<font color="#7F00FF">During the shopping, Tathi suddenly turns around.. and points right at the guard shadowing you. &quot;You! Come here. Now.&quot; She says in quite the authoritive voice.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Shankfang promises to play some of the games with her when they get back.

Guard 2:<font color="#000000">&quot;Ma'am?&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#7F00FF">&quot;Which carpet do you want?&quot;

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;Okay! On one condition!&quot;

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;We get Miron to play, too.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Yah?&quot;

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;An' Tom.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">:D &quot;Oh Miron~!&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Hokay!&quot;

Guard 2:<font color="#000000">&quot;... er... I'm fine, thank you.&quot;

Guard 2:<font color="#000000">&quot;I'll mark down that your fine is paid to the Selitels.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#7F00FF">&quot;Now now, chose out a carpet. Or go home several different shades of pink. Your choice!&quot;

Guard 2:<font color="#000000">=w=;

Tathi:<font color="#7F00FF">... she's dead serious.

Guard 2:<font color="#000000">&quot;... that one, then.&quot; It's a doormat.

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">So glad I have spell resistence.

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">So very glad.

Tathi:<font color="#7F00FF">&quot;Good!&quot; She says, and turns to the shopkeep. &quot;Three of those for the guard here.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#7F00FF">TROLLTATHI-

Tathi:<font color="#7F00FF">and I'm done. Gotta go help bro now. XD

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">Ta.

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">To Alntor! :V

TMG:<font color="#000000">ah crap. Well, maybe the rest of us can meet with Altonor, and Tathi can come in halfway through...

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">Or she could be with us.

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">Spirit possessed.

TMG:<font color="#000000">That's true. :.

RAM:<font color="#990000">Troof!

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Anyway...after all the carpet business is taken care of, everyone heads back to the cygnett--oh! I presume we met with Maratahl so Tathi could pay him, too.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">We just ask him to direct Altonor to teh Cygnet.

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

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">+1 potion of CLW.

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">DAMNIT TERRI.

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;C'mon, let's ask him!&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">DAMN YOUR SCRABBLE.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">In the meantime though.. &quot;All guardians! Especially thomas, Aelian, and Edaric!&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus glances aside. &quot;..?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Meet in the galley, please?&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus undrapes himself from the ship's railing and walks belowdeck.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Tom, Miron, hyu tvo are playink games vith Terri und me after dis meetink!&quot;

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yeah!&quot; :O

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..? Oh.. sure.&quot; He blinks a little sleepily.

Miron:<font color="#000000">*laughs* &quot;Well, if they won't involve soap..&quot;

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

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;No promises!&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">Wait through

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;What's this about 'especially' me?&quot; ^^;

VAE:<font color="#000000">How can they talk, isn't Miron with Tathi?

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;I can't remember if I actually told you folks about this. I -think- I did...? But If I didn't I'm very very sorry.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">or did everyone return

TMG:<font color="#000000">we're back at the ship. We skipped over it

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Everyone's returned.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;I could've -sworn- I at least told you this when it happened, Thomas...anyway.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;About a month ago, after our Redtree escapade...I hired some trackers, to look for David Morian.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Does anyone remember this, by any chance...?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">After a while out, Miron climbs below deck himself. &quot;Remember what?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Faintly, yes.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;How could I forget?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">((latecomer))

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Ah, good. Well then.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;I ran into them in town today when I was buying parts. They found him.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Before Hy joined.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;There's good news and bad news.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;The good news is, David is -here- in this town, and -had- the stiffness panacea!&quot; Gnogglebolt takes out a vial.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Bad news is, he only had three, and we need six.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;And, um, worse news, I guess.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;He doesn't have the ingredient to make more. And the -worst- news...said ingredient apparently comes from a dragon's cave in the Moscra Desert, and he refuses to go back.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Morian.. you mean the business with Restren?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Gracious.&quot; He purses his mouth with a frown.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Adventure time!&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yes, that's it, Miron. THere were six people still bound in stone when we left.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;Dragons in the Moscra.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;So....if evryone's okay with it.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;Well.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;I'd like to see if we can detour to moscra on our way back to Castleton?&quot;

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;Did he say what color the dragon was?&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus chuckles, &quot;Wait, wait.&quot; He holds up a hand.

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;Perhaps Salishea can teleport us. =3=&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;No, he didn't, sadly. Apparently, he just heard the roar and left.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Doesn't know the color.&quot;

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;The ingredient is some kind of very soft orange stone on the cave walls.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;There's more than one way to reverse petrification, you know.. going all the way up there just to make more of Morian's silly elixir...&quot; =w=; &quot;Lorellon is on the way back.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Unless the ingredient comes from the dragon's body...&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;If ve're lucky it'll me a metallic dragon, und it'll be easy.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;It can likely be gotten by other means. &quot;

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;Kerishorak would know.&quot; :o

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt shrugs. &quot;There are other ways to reverse petrification...? Interesting.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;We can look into that as well, I suppose.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;But, I just wanted to bring that to everyone's attention.&quot; He nods to Aelian and Edaric. 'Especially you two.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Yes. The church of...&quot;

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;Kerishorak's really really smart. An' he's one of the dragons Mr. Sszeyl's gonna need to see.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">*Thunderclap &quot;..Wee Jas can handle that with some scrolls.&quot;

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

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;It would probably be more expensive than the elixir.&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Meanwhile, in Castleton, a druid feels a chill. :B

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh?&quot; Gnogglebolt looks over at Terri. &quot;We can look into that, too.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Well.. but more expensive is always better than suicidal.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;But it would certainly be worth saving a trip to the desert for an esoteric ingredient to a potion.&quot; =w=;;;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;So, that's the situation as it stands. Apparently, we have options.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;But we don't need to work on that now.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Going into the lair of an unknown dragon to nick things to make an elixir... that's the course of action for a con potionman maybe, but not for anyone sane.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Just wanted to let everyone know. That was it.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus: <font color="#ff0000">(( Market price of Stone to Flesh, out of personal curiosity, is &#171; &#160;11*6*25 = 11 * 6 * 25 = 1650&#160; <font color="#ff0000">&#187; ))

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;Can I have the floor now?&quot;

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;Or the table?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Go ahead, miss Terri!&quot;

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;Mm'kay!&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus folds his gauntlets and looks aside.

Terri:<font color="#000000">And Terri gets up on the table, clasps her hands behind her back, and turns to the guardians. &quot;Vigilant Guardians.&quot;

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;It has come to my attention that people are really angry and grumpy lately.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Shankfang can't help but giggle slightly.

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;This isn't good for anybody.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Troof.&quot;

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

* Thomas Lazarus chuckles a bit.

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;Especially when you're doing super-important things and have to work together.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt looks surprised at SrsTerri. o.o

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;I propose a solution.&quot;

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;We need to have some fun.&quot; :D

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt is frozen for a second...then his face spreads into a wide grin.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;I can't agree more!&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Is that so..?&quot; |3

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;What can we all do that's fun together? I open the floor.&quot; :3

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;I hereby second Terri's motion. Motion passed!&quot; Gnogglebolt says, grinning to everyone else.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Ve haff dose new Board Games...&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;You know.. why not? I third the proposal.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I would say baking, but we all know how that worked out..&quot; |3

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

Tathi:<font color="#7F00FF">I RETURN. CARPETS FOR EVERYONE

VAE:<font color="#000000">why do I imagine the current DMFA with Sszeyl as Jyrras and Miron as Abel.

Tathi:<font color="#7F00FF">Aelian how the hell did we lose our seats?

Aelian:<font color="#7F00FF">I AM SECRETLY IN LOVE WITH THOMAS.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Oh bugger. Literally

Kor:<font color="#7F00FF">Kor.. is staaaring at Terri.

VAE:<font color="#000000">So there *will* be a threesome

* VAE thought the absurd shipping was his domain.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Shankfang pokes the rat.

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hmmm... baking's out, then. We have the board games an' cards. Any other suggestions?&quot;

Kor:<font color="#7F00FF">Squeak!

VAE:<font color="#000000">Aelian: &quot;Show me your leaden mace, inquisitor!&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Iz rude to schtare.&quot;

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;Mr. Inquisitors, you've been very sad and grumpy. What do you think would be fun?&quot; :3

VAE:<font color="#000000">seriously, that's such a brilliantly cheezy line

* Dr. Hatari bricks.

Kor:<font color="#7F00FF">Squeak. &gt;|(

* Thomas Lazarus flinches. =3= !

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

* Thomas Lazarus ponders. {:3

VAE:<font color="#000000">Thomas proposes we play D&amp;D

Thomas Lazarus: <font color="#FF0000">&quot;... What ... would I like to do... ?&quot;

TMG:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hey, no recursion!&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Thomas apparently is not an amazing outlet of creative energies. &quot;Eehhhmm~mweh?&quot; He shrugs kind of embarassedly. &quot;=w=;&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hmm.. long time since I did anything of this sort... What games do you lot know?&quot;

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

* Thomas Lazarus slaps hands on table. :|

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I want to be a dragon.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus looks at Tathi.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;I remember playing shot checkers with Anise.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Huh?&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#7F00FF">Tathi looks up. &quot;Really now?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;You can do that right?&quot; |3

Terri:<font color="#000000">:o

Tathi:<font color="#7F00FF">&quot;I certainately can. I never figured you for the roleplaying type.. What type?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;It's simple.. you draw out a checkers board, one of you, the black, gets shots with rum, and the white one with vodka.When you take out an opponent's piece, he has to drink it.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Type?&quot; {:3

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Believe me, it gets hillarious after two-three games.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Gold!&quot;

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;That's an awesome idea! We can go flying, too! There's gotta be a place that sells flying magic!&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#7F00FF">Tathi giggles. &quot;There's many kinds. Might I suggest a silver dragon? You strike me as a silver.&quot;

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

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">He doesn't seem to really get it.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Wait, how do you 'be' a dragon? I don't get it...&quot;

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;Polymorph, Mr. Gnogglebolt.&quot; :o

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Shapeshifting magic, perhaps? But then.. Tom, you aren't a druid.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#7F00FF">She stands up. &quot;Ready? Come over here. I have to touch you for it to work.&quot;

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;Wait!&quot;

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;Miss Tathi!&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh, that magic stuff...wait. Tathi can seriously do that?&quot; His eyes widen.

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;Not in the ship!&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">That sounds like a line from porn, too

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Like, right here right now?&quot; Really?&quot;

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;Tom'll bonk his head an' might make holes in stuff.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">(what Tathi said)

Tathi:<font color="#7F00FF">She looks over at Terri. &quot;Really? I don't think he'd be that terribly big.. But, allright.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Yah, it vould be bad to do it in de schip.&quot;

* Dr. Hatari scrambles.

Tathi:<font color="#7F00FF">&quot;Come on then. Outside everyone.&quot; She says as she walks by, scooping up Kor.

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

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;-- Ooh! One moment!&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt follows everyone to the deck.

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

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

Terri:<font color="#000000">Terri scrambles and comes up on deck with an armful of scrolls. :9

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Vat are de scrolls for, Terri?&quot;

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;Grandpa gave me these.&quot; :D &quot;They're flying scrolls!&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">|D

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;That's quite a lot of them.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Ooooh...&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Wellll now. Let's crack open ye olde MM and see what we've got for silver dragons.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">I have lots of tokens of silvers, too. :B

TMG:<font color="#000000">Hatari; I'm sure Liatai has some tokens she can use on you. :B

TMG:<font color="#000000">Just make sure you have a raw image of Thomastoken, and not an rptok file

TMG:<font color="#000000">otherwise, you won't be able to change back

Tathi:<font color="#7F00FF">POLYMORPHED FOREVER

TMG:<font color="#000000">you'll be a dragon FOREVER

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

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">because you can change token images

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">I'm the multi-tasking master.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">I already made one.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">It also turns out there is a 7HD silver dragon we could canonically use. Which will be perfect, considering.

* Dr. Hatari is ready. =w=

* Thomas Lazarus rests his hands on his waist.

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;An' I've got two polymorphs, but I don't think I can use those without thinkin' real hard, so Miss Tathi'd need to use them.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;So how does this work?&quot; |3

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Coming, Sszeyl?

Tathi:<font color="#7F00FF">&quot;Like this.&quot; Tathi says, and begins the incantation, right before tapping Thomas. :&gt;

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

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Whu-&quot; POLYMORPH'D

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">STOP!

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Dragon time!

Meany:<font color="#660000">Sorry, lag.

Meany:<font color="#660000">What's going on??

Liatai:<font color="#000000">The party is having fun.

TMG:<font color="#000000">Meany; Thomas is being turned into a dragon.

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Playing with Polymorph. :3

Liatai:<font color="#000000">C'mon up to the deck. :3

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">The sudden flash of magic encompasses Thomas in what is, at first, a serious and ligitimate display of arcane power. This effect wears off in approximately 1.5 seconds and there's a cloud of smoke left. It slowly clears to reveal the most. ''Rubbish. Dragon. Ever.''

Tathi:<font color="#7F00FF">WHAT. XD

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

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;PFFFT!&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">|D

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

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!&quot;

Terri:<font color="#000000">Terri applauds, at least. :D

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">=3=

Tathi:<font color="#7F00FF">&quot;Oh my goodness what..&quot; Tathi says, trying not to giggle.

* Thomas Lazarus looks at his claws in amusement. His terrible tiny wings flap.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Aahahaha&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;If that's a dragon, then I'm a dwarf.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Yaaay&quot; |D

Kor:<font color="#7F00FF">But.. Kor.. he looks at Thomas.. and looks at Terri. He looks at Thomas.. and looks at Terri.. He looks at Thomas.........

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">It's even drawn badly!!

Thomas Lazarus: <font color="#ff0000">(( *bricked* ))

Kor:<font color="#7F00FF">..... and he stares at Terri.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt finally bursts out laughing himself. &quot;You are a dwarf, Miron!&quot; he cackles, both at the 'dragon' and at Miron

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">A little silver dragon saying &quot;yaaaaaay.&quot; Oh my gosh too cute. X3

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Quick, quick, give me something to hoard.&quot; |3

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;pfft... I suppose I do look more a dwarf than he does a dragon.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#7F00FF">&quot;I could turn you into a dwarf..&quot; Tathi says, smirking.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt collects himelf enough to toss over his whole backpack of metal bits

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Shankfang tosses a copper piece at him.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">No, wait...

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Shankfang is flat broke.

VAE:<font color="#000000">This could have been worse

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Nevermind.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Yessss~&quot; His tongue flicks and he pounces on the bitz. :9

VAE:<font color="#000000">Tom shapeshifting into TROOOGDOOOR!

RAM:<font color="#990000">That is not Trogdor.

VAE:<font color="#000000">I know

VAE:<font color="#000000">I'm saying it could have been worse

VAE:<font color="#000000">learn2read

RAM:<font color="#990000">Not awesome enough for Trogdor.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;These are mine. Gosh, I can feel the coveting overcoming my senses!&quot; |3

* Edaric is also laughing at dragonTom.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Shankfang is now rolling on the deck, laughing his ass off.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnoglebolt snickers.

Aelian:<font color="#7F00FF">&quot;This is positively silly.. Tathi what did you do!?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">*Takes out a coin* &quot;Here, draggie! Fetch!&quot; *tosses it*

Miron:<font color="#000000">One of the platinum ones

Terri:<font color="#000000">Must...

Terri:<font color="#000000">... not...

Terri:<font color="#000000">...fetch...

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I won't--is that platinum&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#7F00FF">&quot;Hey! The spell works off the person it's cast on! This is what Thomas wanted!&quot;

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">The sight of a derpydragon all curled up on top of his own backpack is just too funny for Gnogglebolt.

* Thomas Lazarus straddles back to his hoard. Such as it is.

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">actually, Terri fetching would have been hillarious

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I'm supposed to kidnap you.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">The Kira thing.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Here draggie, fetch? &quot;pounces coin. &quot;oh shit&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus hugs Terri and jokingly gnaws her head. |B

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;The stories make so much sense now.&quot;

* Terri laughs, flailing playfully. &quot;Ack! Oh no!&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">I feel like I'm treading a dangerous line, doing blackface racist comedy to a black crowd or something. :B

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

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Dragon attack! Bvahehaheha!&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">And here I am planning for Terri to 'kidnap' Tom when she reveals herself. :P

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

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot; I wonder if I can actually fly..&quot;

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

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hey Tom! Try doing fireworks!&quot;

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh yeah! You gotta try flying!&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&gt;:9 Flip flip.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Into the air!&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Okay!&quot; ((Now I know from experience Polymorph won't give me that one.))

* Thomas Lazarus inhales and looks about. He aims at some upwards arc not facing the ship's mast or rigging. &gt;:X

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">FWOOOSH-SPUTTER-raspberry-nofireworks. &gt;:O

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;How do I do it?&quot; |p

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hahahaha&quot;

* Terri breaks down laughing.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Oh god, and the laughter renews.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;I wouldn't mind stealing spell ingredients from *your* hoard, Tom!&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus clutches backpack defensively.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Sneak sneak sneak...

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">SNATCH!

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">RUN RUN RUN!

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">*_*

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;You're silver, anyway! It wouldn't be fireworks, it'd be ice!&quot; XD

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Oh, really?&quot; |o

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Hy got hyu hoard!&quot;

Ghostwish:<font color="#7F00FF">actually.. shouldn't they get flight? It's not supernatural is it?

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt teeters as a halforc with a derpydragon chasing him runs past--he looks a little miffed that Shankfang took his backpack, but no one should be focused enough on him to see that, and he just watches with amusement.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">According to the table, indeed. 100ft average maneuverability flight.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Flight is a movement mode, yep, he gets flight. :3

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

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;-- Tom! Tom Tom Tom, you gotta try flying!&quot; :O

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">We should race!

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;It's kind of scary.. but.. I'll try.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Excuse me.&quot; Ambles by the captain to find a high spot. |3

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

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;You gotta get a running start! Try to catch the air under your wings when you jump. An' just push it down an' back, an' keep doin' it!&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I'm good I think actually.&quot; =w=;;;;;

* Terri looks around. &quot;Grandpa's polymorphed us into dragons before too.&quot;

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

TMG:<font color="#000000">Good cover! xP

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">''I should have specified one of those flightless sewer-dragons. D|''

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;Awwww c'mon, it's really fun once you figure out how to do it!&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#7F00FF">&#171; &#160;1d20+1 = 19 + 1 = 20&#160; <font color="#7F00FF">&#187; sense motive!

Ghostwish:<font color="#7F00FF">Derp

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">No.

* Liatai is laughing far too hard. XD

* TMG cracks up

* Thomas Lazarus quivers. =w=;;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;Wings out, and flap with slow, powerful swings, not humming-bird style.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Shankfang doesn't need to Sense Motive. He already knows.

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;Most of all.&quot;

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;Awwww. If you want, Tom, I'll get Tathi to polymorph me, too, an' I'll teach you.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Me too!&quot; :D

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot; But I'm a rubbish dragon.&quot; =w=;;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;Be at peace, and enjoy the flight.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;Don't think about it too hard.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus: <font color="#ff0000">(( I actually saved the image as Rubbish Dragon.png ))

Tathi:<font color="#7F00FF">&quot;Actually.. I only prepare that spell once. It's kind of my last resort.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">I wonder what kind of dragon I would be...

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Aww...&quot;

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;Miss Tathi, I've got two scrolls!&quot;

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

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

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;You do?&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">:O

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Pick me!&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">Miron approaches Terri, and whispers something to her.

Tathi:<font color="#7F00FF">&quot;Oh! Well, if you don't mind using them?&quot;

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;Okay! Here.&quot; Terri hands over two arcane polymorph scrolls. &quot;Grandpa said to use them as I saw fit, an' this is how I see fit!&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#7F00FF">&quot;So! Who wants to be a dragon?&quot;

Miron: <font color="#000000">Gives me an idea.. a prank ... you two *can* do a yeth hound?

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Me!&quot;

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;Me me me!&quot;

Terri: <font color="#000000">&quot;Mr. Miron, that's not gonna help teach Tom to fly.&quot;

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot; Yeth hounds don't fly with wings. &quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">:b

* Thomas Lazarus clings to his platinum coin for comfort. =w=;;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Placebo'd!

Tathi:<font color="#7F00FF">&quot;Right then. Let's see..&quot; She says, and begins to recite from the scrolls.. and then taps them both.

Miron: <font color="#000000">I suppose another time, then. Either way, it wouldn't work quite as well in the open.

Terri:<font color="#000000">Poof!

RAM:<font color="#990000">Anyone have a token for me? I lost tokentool with my HDD.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">One moment... saving token...

RAM:<font color="#990000">Thanks!

RAM:<font color="#990000">Surprise me with the dragon type!

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Awwww. Yours is a lot better than mine. You must have a better imagination.&quot; =w=;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Apparently Tom imagines the world in crayon.

VAE:<font color="#000000">And yes, Miron was totally intending to give Gnogglebolt dog pounces and licking XD

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

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">But either way it'd better work as a surprise.

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;I've had practice!&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">POOF!

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;C'mon, Mr. Tom, I'll show you the first time.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">:D &quot;Hy'm a Dragon!&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Hy'm a...Bronze? Kopper? Hy kan' tell.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#7F00FF">&quot;I should start an amusement festivel with this.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Quite so.&quot;

* Terri backs up... crouches... &quot;See, you gotta hold your wings up, so you collect air under 'em when you run... an' then when you jump forward you push down and back, an' bring your wings back up diagonally. Like this!&quot; She flaps her wings slowly. &quot;Here, you try that.&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Copper, very young.

* Thomas Lazarus does a crude imitation with his not-so-well drawn wings. :9

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Flyink time!&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Shankfang gets nice and high, backs up, and crouches low.

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;Okay! You might fall the first time or so, but you'll get the hang of it. Watch!&quot;

* Terri coils, gallops forward, then springs into the air!

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Vun, tvo, TREE!&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Shankfang darts forward, leaps and...

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Barrels straight towards Sszeyl!

* Terri lands behind the captain. :3

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;AAAAAAAAAAHH!&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus crouches, raises wings, hesitates, and ... ... hesitates ... ... =w= &quot;...&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I bet I could become a lion, too!&quot; =w=;;

Jack Selkirk:<font color="#000000">&quot; Dragons galloping around and learning to fly on my deck. Add that to the list of things I never thought I'd see, but did. &quot; |3

TMG:<font color="#000000">man, Old Red is probably flipping the hell out at this belittling of what he thinks is sacred. xD

Shankfang the Deffrider: <font color="#990000">(( No Meanster? ))

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;C'mon, it's easy.&quot;

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;I could teach you to fly like Papa taught Max.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Rubbishsulk. =w=;;

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

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;He pushed him over an edge into a pond.&quot;

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

Shankfang the Deffrider: <font color="#990000">(( Is Meany AFK of something? ))

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">behind Thomas, Gnogglebolt is suddenly possesed by a gremlin.

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">Yo.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">You are now in a dragonpile.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;FLY, THOMAS!&quot; He shouts, and gives derpydragon a hearty shove over the railing

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">Yes, I know.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">D|

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;It's instinct. Your wings'll snap out into a glide --&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">Vargie is...surprisingly calm.

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">Hateful, but calm.

TMG:<font color="#000000">Onto the deck!

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Sorry, Sszeyl.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;Eh?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus: <font color="#ff0000">(( Oh :B ))

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Thomas attempts to fly spontaneously!

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Back to the upper deck!

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">... It's not very effective. *faceclunk* &quot;Gu-oof.&quot; =w=;;;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Take two, and ACTION!

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Hmm?&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Shankfang looks up as well.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot; To tell you the truth, I was just acting for Terri's benefit. But it was quite entertaining.&quot; =w=

Tathi:<font color="#7F00FF">&quot;Here he comes!&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus looks to the Pegasus evenly for a moment. He doesn't seem terribly alarmed, though. He walks over to the party's elf and offers a small smile.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Thank you, Tathi.&quot; He says in a comically reserved tone.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">*Dignity!* =3=

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">I wasn't just a rubbish dragon or anything.

GM:<font color="#000000">The pegasus doesn't even pause, flying southward past the ship and town at a high altitude.

Miron:<font color="#000000">''Not meeting us on our ground.. cleverer than i'd expect ''

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Maybe we can go there to meet him.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt collects his backpack and equipment and prepares to head out.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Hyu kan ride on my Deffbike vith me!&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Elros, you'll probably want to come, too.&quot;

* Dr. Hatari returns.

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;You don't mind if we take everyone including our two spotters with us, do you, captain Selkirk?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;We'll probably be back in a few hours.&quot;

Tathi: <font color="#7f00ff">(( shit. I need to order pizza or something. X ))

Ghostwish:<font color="#7F00FF">brb real quick!

VAE:<font color="#000000">Wait, what area to paste in?

Jack Selkirk:<font color="#000000">&quot;I'd rather you leave one of your spotters here.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus gathers up with the others and walks off to Mr. Marathal's place.

TMG:<font color="#000000">you're already there, danman

* Elros offers to stay.

Miron:<font color="#000000">So does Miron.

VAE:<font color="#000000">that's why i asked, duh

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">He can't deny having some interest in hearing stories of Tathi's apparently equally crazy family.

VAE:<font color="#000000">because noone else put their tokens there

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Deffbike, GO!

Gnogglebolt 1:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh...well, then do you mind staying, Elros?&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">I had actually asked myself, &quot;Why would Elros want to come?&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Doing things seems out-of-character for Elros&quot; *BRICKED!!!*

TMG:<font color="#000000">I did too, and I figured that since this guy knows about Tathi's history, he might know something about Elros'

TMG:<font color="#000000">But ah well

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;Can I really come along?&quot; :o

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Yah!&quot;

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;I've never ridden a Deffbike before!&quot; :O

Terri:<font color="#000000">Shankfang you are officially awesome to a dragon. How does that feel. x3

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Hy'll go fast for hyu!&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">It feels amazing.

Miron 1:<font color="#000000">I wonder what this will turn out to be...

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

Miron:<font color="#000000">Miron gets rid of the 1 &quot;I aam, the one and only...&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Shankfang rides around the group, taking Terri for a wild ride on the Deffbike.

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">Yo.

Meany:<font color="#660000">Changing maps?

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

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">At the healer's house, Thomas casts a wary look around the grounds first. No signs of Pegasi, I imagine?

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Rectangle group. Yes. =w= *brick'd*

GM:<font color="#000000">No signs of pegasi. The curtains of the house are open.

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;That was so fun.&quot; *_*

* Teeny Rin preserves the rectangular continuity! &gt;:3

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt approaches the house, and knocks on the door.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Hmm...&quot;

Sornala Marathal:<font color="#000000">&quot;Door's open!&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Wait, didn't he say we could just come in if the curtains were open?

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Eh, still better to be polite.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Hy em glad hyu had fun!&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Deffbike, never again.

VAE:<font color="#000000">There's no more time, not even for fun. For you, the fun is over. You have reached the end of fun.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Bonus for whoever catches the quote I butchered.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Everyone presumably hears the call from inside, and Gnogglebolt replies, &quot;It's Us, the Vigilant Guardians.&quot; And he opens the door for everyone

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">*us

VAE:<font color="#000000">it's US

VAE:<font color="#000000">*wave flag*

VAE:<font color="#000000">And this is now Hetalia Akellon

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Shankfang parks the Deffbike, lifts Terri onto his shoulders, and walks inside.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt walks in and quickly takes a seat

Bouncy Child:<font color="#000000">You can see a human child running around and playing with Twist as you open the door.

TMG:<font color="#000000">(oh yeah, just remembered to remind you Liatai, we all have to roll fort saves. -3- )

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">The classic example of lawful =/= good. :B

Sornala Marathal:<font color="#000000">&quot;You'll be all right in a few days. Now do you remember what I told you?&quot; Sornala is talking to another little girl, with a soft smile.

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

TMG:<font color="#000000">butbutbut it -is- good, Liatai asked someone to remind her in good faith D: Sornala Marathal:<font color="#000000">&quot;That's a good girl.&quot; ^^

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Shankfang sets Terri down from his shoulders and takes a seat on the couch.

Miron:<font color="#000000">Miron follows Thomas inside, taking a spot next to him.

Meany:<font color="#660000">Such suddenly lag.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt shakes his head at Sszeyl's topic of discussion, and turns back to Sorlana. &quot;My apologies. I mean, when Altonor returns, he can talk to Arivan before seeing us, rather than walking in the front door.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">And when we come back, some idiot has used the cursed cinnamon in his tea.

Sornala Marathal:<font color="#000000">&quot;Maybe it's not clear what Avar's doing. Altonor is in the woods.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">SENTIENT TEA, OHGOD

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;To avoid that problem you mentioned about bolting away from Orgolloysss and St. Cuthbert.&quot;

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

Sornala Marathal:<font color="#000000">&quot;Avar is talking to him before bringing you to meet him or him to meet you.&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">He's already doing that.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">It's the explicit reason he left.

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

TMG:<font color="#000000">???? Okay, now I'm lost.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt shows himself ever the dummy

TMG:<font color="#000000">you've confused me, hatari.

VAE:<font color="#000000">why?

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

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

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Well, he can. That's why he's doing it, apparently.&quot;

Sornala Marathal:<font color="#000000">&quot;And... Sszeyl, was it?&quot;

TMG:<font color="#000000">now, what I heard was that Altonor left for unknown reasons (since Gnogglebolt asked what he was doing), and they were -hoping- that we would....wait...

Ghostwish:<font color="#7F00FF">here techy this is for you

Tathi:<font color="#7F00FF">Wait, what? Who is that? What is that? I don't remember this. Did the DM explain that? Is that part of our objectives?

TMG:<font color="#000000">Avar =/= Arivan?

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;See, Gnogglebolt, I told you to be patient.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">No

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;But noooo, you had to be all Gnomishly ecxitable.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">:BN

VAE:<font color="#000000">Avar - a member of a nomadic tribe which scarred their children, and which the slavs kicked out.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Hence, they are extinct now

* Thomas Lazarus has pointedly stopped petting Twist now. =w=;;;

Meany:<font color="#660000">Also an elvish word.

Meany:<font color="#660000">Meaning Father.

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;Ja? :V&quot;

TMG:<font color="#000000">Now I'm -really- lost. But oh well. Carry on. Will just play along.

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">Welcome to roleplaying.

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">:D

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

TMG:<font color="#000000">Geeze, and all I wanted to do was have Gnogglebolt apologieze for arriving early...

VAE:<font color="#000000">Your father was an avar and your mother smelt of elderberries?

TMG:<font color="#000000">Ah well.

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">It was worse yesterday, for me

Sornala Marathal:<font color="#000000">&quot;If you want Twist kittens, talk to the Mallocks. Their cat Griselda had a litter by him a few weeks ago.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">And I was GMing

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

GM:<font color="#000000">Okay, Tech, let me explain simply.

Meany:<font color="#660000">2+2=Fish.

Meany:<font color="#660000">:D

GM:<font color="#000000">Altonor and pegasus flew past the town of Thalinde and landed in the woods south of town. Arivan/Pellan'zyne is there now, briefing him on what to expect when he meets the Guardians. Arivan will be back in a short while to either fetch the Guardians to bring to Altonor, or bring Altonor to meet the Guardians. Sornala is not sure which he's planning.

GM:<font color="#000000">Is it clearer now?

TMG:<font color="#000000">-okay-. Now I get it.

GM:<font color="#000000">There. :P

Sornala Marathal:<font color="#000000">&quot;They might be a little leery to sell a kitten to a drow, though, so take someone with you.&quot;

Sornala Marathal:<font color="#000000">&quot;I think they were asking for two gold pieces a kitten.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus waits patiently. :3

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Those kittens better be awesome. =w=;;

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">In his head, Gnogglebolt once again thinks about having a Sparker again...

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Got a better estimate? :B

VAE:<font color="#000000">yeah, they cost mroe than a salary

Meany:<font color="#660000">The most bitchin' kittens you ever seen.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Okay, scratch that.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">1 GP a kitten. :P

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">I'm used to 'free' personally. :B

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">I can't even afford a kitten right now. Lia, we need to go on an adventure so I can make money!

Meany:<font color="#660000">I have 2000 gp.

VAE:<font color="#000000">I mean

Meany:<font color="#660000">500 of which is reserved for shark buying.

Meany:<font color="#660000">:B

TMG:<font color="#000000">Let us not get bogged down by this. xD

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">Kittens are abundant resource in akellon anyways, but still, maybe 2 SP is what i'd guess

* Dr. Hatari squints.

Sornala Marathal:<font color="#000000">Let's fast-forward, then, and assume tea is served.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Fair enough.

VAE:<font color="#000000">His teeth became &quot;shark&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">2 SP a kitten.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">We split gold in this town how do you not have 1 gold? :B

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Shankfang bought bracers.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Teeeaaaa...&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Sip.

Miron:<font color="#000000">Miron holds, like usually.

Meany:<font color="#660000">&gt;.&gt;

Meany:<font color="#660000">Oh, Shankfang?

Meany:<font color="#660000">He bought expensive magical item.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">I spent it all on Gloves of Dexterity +2.

Miron:<font color="#000000">He doesn't drink at a drow's house... well, except Sszeyl, but that was a contest.

Meany:<font color="#660000">Sszeyl bought 3k gold shoes for Swallowtail.

RAM:<font color="#990000">Er, bracers.

Arivan Marathal:<font color="#000000">After about ten minutes, there's a quiet knock on the door. &quot;Sornala, everything all right?&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">Suspenders?

RAM:<font color="#990000">No, gauntlets.

RAM:<font color="#990000">That's what they were.

RAM:<font color="#990000">Plus, I didn't have much money to start out with.

RAM:<font color="#990000">I spent most of it on the Deffbike.

Sornala Marathal:<font color="#000000">&quot;Everything's fine. The Guardians are here.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus waits patiently. =w=

Arivan Marathal:<font color="#000000">The door opens, and Arivan blinks. &quot;... so they are.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Sorry for being early, apparently.&quot;

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

Arivan Marathal:<font color="#000000">&quot;You're... yes, quite early.&quot; ^^;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Haloo!&quot; Wave wave wave!

* Thomas Lazarus forgets all the meeting details. =w=;

Tathi:<font color="#7F00FF">&quot;We're adventurers. Would you expect any less?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Sorry. We just got a little eager seeing the Pegasus.&quot;

TMG:<font color="#000000">why do I feel I should have insisted IC &quot;Wait, I told Marathal to direct him to us on this ship, let's just stay here&quot;... &gt;.&gt;

TMG:<font color="#000000">Only reason I didn't is cuz Liatai had already said 'put your tokens on the thalinde map', but oh well...carrying on

Meany:<font color="#660000">Ololol.

Meany:<font color="#660000">Searching through kitten photos.

Arivan Marathal:<font color="#000000">&quot;... hmm... that does put a damper on it somewhat.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Better an hour early than a minute late.&quot;

Meany:<font color="#660000">Got recomendations?

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

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

Arivan Marathal:<font color="#000000">&quot;We'll have to leave out the back door.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">*frown*

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Vy?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt sighs. &quot;Any way we can--oh?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Why so?&quot;

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

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Not biased or anything.

VAE:<font color="#000000">or norwegian forestcat

VAE:<font color="#000000">almost the same

Arivan Marathal:<font color="#000000">&quot;Miss Soosden arrived shortly after you left to warn me that a 'vile demon elf had been sighted in the presence of that half-orc brute headed straight for your clinic! Are you all right? No one's hurt, right? Please tell me he didn't stop by!'&quot; The elf shakes his head with a sigh.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">http://www.buzzle.com/img/articleImages/361854-5052-24.jpg

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;...Did she mean me?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;That half-orc brute? Their city watch employs half-orcs for Cudgel's sake!&quot;

Arivan Marathal:<font color="#000000">&quot;... naturally I assured her again that Logub is an honorable man... no, my apologies.&quot; ^^; &quot;There's bad blood between her and Mr. Ackerly.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Ahh. Well, this is rather disappointing, but we can work around it. Out the back door it is, I suppose.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt stands up and collects his pack. He looks over at shankfang.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;We can come back for it.&quot; he says shortly.

* Thomas Lazarus sighs.

Arivan Marathal:<font color="#000000">&quot;Of course. Nothing will happen to it.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Hokay, but hyu hed betta take goot kare uf it, Herr Maraddel!&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">I finally thought of something to talk to Gnogglebolt about. =w=;

* Arivan Marathal grabs a fallen tree limb and whispers a brief prayer. The tip shines like a torch, and he uses it as an impromptu walking stick. The observant will also notice that he has a rapier hanging at his side. &quot;Even now, it's easy to forget that many can't see in pitch darkness.&quot; ^^;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">:3

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">I can.

Miron:<font color="#000000">:3 Why do you think I always wear dark glasses?

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">Because your hate has developed into a perverse desire to possess the gifts we Drow have?

* Thomas Lazarus begins humming Sunglasses at Night. =3=

Miron:<font color="#000000">The only gift you lot have is a knack for finding spiders erotic.

Arivan Marathal:<font color="#000000">&quot;I hope you all weren't waiting long.&quot; Sense Motive if you like, but it's pretty easy to tell that he's stalling a little.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">It's 250 miles to Seattle, we have a full tank of gas, a half pack of cigarettes, it's dark out, and we're wearing sunglasses.

Arivan Marathal:<font color="#000000">&quot;It's a bit of a trek.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt just gives Sszeyl a flat stre.

* Arivan Marathal starts leading the way through the woods, finding the path easily.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;For someone with a flying pegasus.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">Thank you for the stre.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..Is anything the matter, mister Marathal? We could always come back later..&quot; ^^;

Arivan Marathal:<font color="#000000">&quot;... well... I'd hoped to give him time to get camp situated before you arrived.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;We've been on treks through forests before...&quot;Gnogglebolt looks back at Thomas with a slightly inscrutable expression, a sort of...combination of approval and irritation. More like 'why didn't I think of that'.

Miron:<font color="#000000">I wonder why is the bugger trying to stall us.

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">A bit of a reproachful look at Gnogglebolt, but it is extremely brief.

Arivan Marathal:<font color="#000000">&quot;A full day on horseback, even a pegasus', does have a tendency to be uncomfortable, even for a seasoned rider like him.&quot; ^^;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt shrugs at Ariivan.&quot;Well, whatever you think is best. I'm sure we can wait for a little bit if we need to..&quot; he looks back at the others.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Oh...&quot; He perks a little. :3

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I can take care of that.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I've never had a chance to use that spell.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Ve kould help him set up kamp...&quot;

Arivan Marathal:<font color="#000000">&quot;Which spell?&quot; :. Arivan seems genuinely curious.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;An obscure curing prayer called the panacaea.&quot;

* Dr. Hatari accidentally closed character sheet. =w=;;;;;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">This spell channels positive energy into a creature to wipe away its afflictions. It immediately ends any of the following conditions affecting the subject: blinded, confused, dazed, dazzled, deafened, diseased, exhausted, fatigued, frightened, nauseated, panicked, paralyzed, shaken, sickened, and stunned. It negates sleep effects and the effect of the feeblemind spell, and ends any additional effects from poison, as the neutralize poison spell. It also cures 1d8 points of damage + 1 point per caster level (maximum +20). Panacea does not remove ability damage, negative levels, or drained levels.

Arivan Marathal:<font color="#000000">&quot;I see! I'll have to look it up next time I'm in an area with an established temple -- judging from the name alone, I can imagine how great of a boon it might be.&quot; :D

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

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Maybe it'll set a good mood..&quot; {:3

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hmm. Well, between that spell, and an offer to help him set up camp, will probably endear us to Altonor despite our earlyness...&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt nods at Thomas again.

RAM:<font color="#990000">Oh, what was that spell?

Arivan Marathal:<font color="#000000">&quot;It's just down here... hold on, I'll go first.&quot;

RAM:<font color="#990000">That made the mansion?

RAM:<font color="#990000">Someone's Swanky Mansion or something?

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Mage's Magnificent Mansion.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Mordenkainen's, in the PHB.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt, always the arseclimber

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">They made the spell names creatorless after the fact, though, because those spells are used in many different D&amp;D settings.

* Arivan Marathal ducks into the trees. You can hear him; &quot;Altonor? They're here early.&quot; ^^;

RAM:<font color="#990000">That's it! Mordenkainen's Swanky Mansion!

VAE:<font color="#000000">&quot;..will probably endear us to Altonor ..&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">But Mordenkainen is a Greyhawk NPC.

Meany:<font color="#660000">MOOSE, ARE YOU STILL HELPING SIBLINGS.

Arivan Marathal:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yes.&quot; ^^;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Shankfang follows, ducking through the trees and being careful not to let Terri hit any branches. &quot;Haloo!&quot;

Meany:<font color="#660000">YOU KNOW HE'LL NEVER LEARN TO SKIN A WOLF IF YOU KEEP BABYING HIM.

Male Voice:<font color="#000000">&quot;Well, they didn't waste any time. Where are they?&quot; :.

TMG:<font color="#000000">Alright, let's try and get back IC... -3-

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt follows Arivan as well into the woods.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">:O

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">Nice horse.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Black Pegasus!&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#7F00FF">Tathi follows silently, quietly eyeing the black pegasus.

* Thomas Lazarus offers a hand in greeting. ^^;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Black pegasus.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Kan Terri and Hy pet him?&quot;

Altonor:<font color="#000000">The trees part into a clearing, where a black pegasus and a drow are seated near a (not currently lit) campfire. The mithral armor you've heard so much about is currently still on him, though the shield is beside the fire pit. He raises a hand in greeting.

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;A-hem.&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#7F00FF">Aelian chuckles. &quot;Shankfang, you have the heart of a child.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt rounds a tree with the others, and sees the drow himsel. &quot;Ah, hello, sir Altonor. Many apologies for coming so early--&quot; He blanches slightly at Shankfang's overeagerness, that's a bit much even for him.

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;Wave, then make requests after offering help.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">Le wave. =3=

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;We ah, hear you're trying to set up camp after a long journy...any way any of us can help with that?&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Oh, yah. Ve are her to help, too!&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Shankfang has Mithral armor, too! They can be Mithral buddies!

* Altonor waves. &quot;Oh, drop the 'sir,' titles are meaningless anyway.&quot; :3 &quot;Come on over here, I'll get this fire started.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">Mithral is the Apple corp. of Akellon

Tathi:<font color="#7F00FF">HERE ALLOW ME

Aelian:<font color="#7F00FF">ohgodno

Miron:<font color="#000000">Miron actually approaches to help too.

Altonor:<font color="#000000">&quot;So you're the ones our good friend Cal'tel's been so interested in.&quot; :3

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Some black powder would get that burning right-quick...

Amadre:<font color="#7F00FF">One of the elven hounds trots up, ears raised curiously.

Altonor:<font color="#000000">&quot;... You seem like a much larger group in person.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">Also, when he passes near the pegasus, can I roll Search to notice any .. fragments of it on the ground?

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Shankfang sets Terri down so they can help.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Pardon.&quot; ^^; &quot;Mr. Marathal said you were feeling a little bushed. May I offer a spell?&quot;

TMG:<font color="#000000">hope we're not overloading him. &gt;.&gt;

VAE:<font color="#000000">you know, feathers, horse hair, or worse

TMG:<font color="#000000">yeaaah we are. &gt;.&gt;

Sszeyl: <font color="#660000">(( You haven't passed by it yet. :. ))

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">It looks super weird how a bunch of people just ran up and made his camp, yes. :B

VAE:<font color="#000000">Well, everyone is working there

Sszeyl: <font color="#660000">(( Terri and Arvian are in your way. ))

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Our membership is rather large at times, we're on a big journey ourselves...&quot;

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;Woooooow.&quot; :o

VAE:<font color="#000000">i assume this bit is mostly narrated, like, oh, half my yesterday's game

Kep'salion:<font color="#000000">The winged horse leans its head down and snuffles Terri.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt gently gestures to the others to sit down, so that just him and Thomas are still up to help. That should be much less threatening.

VAE:<font color="#000000">and if they were working on the camp, he probably *would* pass by

Altonor:<font color="#000000">&quot;A spell?&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">Anyway, Lia?

* Thomas Lazarus casts Panacaea, and taps Altonor's shoulder with a fingertip encompassed with gentle golden light.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Suddenly, you feel like you've slept in on the weekend! :3

Liatai:<font color="#000000">You can roll Search. But you might want to roll Sleight of Hand.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Except for a normal person. So it, you know, feels restful. =w=;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">Ololol.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Well, he has spell-like prestidigitation

VAE:<font color="#000000">Was considering using that

VAE:<font color="#000000">gnome, remember?

VAE:<font color="#000000">(mental spell)

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt glances sideways at Terri and the giant animal. Well, miron's right there, if anything, he can trust Miron to act if something goes wrong...

Miron:<font color="#000000">Anyways, standing near Terri... Miron looks at the winged horse, and below, too, looking for any... fragments. &#171; &#160;1d20+7 = 12 + 7 = 19&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; Search

VAE:<font color="#000000">looking, as in, with eyes.

* TMG quickly erases typed line

Liatai:<font color="#000000">You do see some small feathers.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">And, well, shall we assume the camp is made and Altonor feels great? :.

* Thomas Lazarus seats himself afterwords. =w=

Miron:<font color="#000000">8 Prestidigitation to transfer a few of them into his hand, and later robes*

Altonor:<font color="#000000">&quot;... Huh! Well thanks, friend. You're... Thomas, then, by what Pell's been telling me?&quot;

Altonor:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+7 = 10 + 7 = 17&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; Spot

Kep'salion:<font color="#000000">Snort.

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">YOU CANNOT HIDE FROM PEGASUS.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I am.&quot; He bows his head.

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">PEGASUS SEES ALL.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt's head whips around at the sudden snort.

Altonor:<font color="#000000">&quot;-- excuse me, Inquisitor.&quot; The drow's voice is suddenly stern.

Miron:<font color="#000000">While we are at it &#171; &#160;1d20+3 = 20 + 3 = 23&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; Knowledge(nature) if we can see anything up close.

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">Le headwhip.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Miron, stop antagonizing the animal.&quot;

Altonor:<font color="#000000">&quot;What are you doing with those feathers?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;It seems he dislikes me.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;A bit of a surprise to find a brother of the faith from the Drow, but I suppose --&quot; ?

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Examining them. I have never seen such an animal.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider: <font color="#990000">&quot;Busted...&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">Roll that bluff. :B

Altonor:<font color="#000000">&quot;You'd do better to examine them while they're still on him, in that case. But I'll thank you to put the ones you have down.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt frowns at Miron...what was he trying to do? Something to do with magic, likely...

* Thomas Lazarus sulks slightly. =w= Brother...

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Fine&quot; *lets them fly*

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;And step over by Tathi.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;So she can keep you entertained. :3&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">Hopefully with fire.

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">Lots of it.l

Miron:<font color="#000000">''Not like I can't pick them up later... ''

VAE:<font color="#000000">anyways, did he learn anything more about the pegasus?

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I-in any case..&quot; =w=;

Altonor:<font color="#000000">&quot;Thank you. Normally I'd let you, but I know how likely you are to try using them to scry on me as soon as my back's turned.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">(the nature check nat 20)

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Kan Hy pet him?&quot; Shankfang asks, looking at the Pegasus.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Arcana would have been the check.

VAE:<font color="#000000">fine.. make that arcana and add another 15 XD

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I believe our elven ladyfriend was curious about a story you might've picked up about someone she knows.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt blinks. Good Garl, so it was magic...scrying?!

Liatai:<font color="#000000">MM page 206-207. :B

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">Ololol.

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">Miron going to get beat so hard with a wrench.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Ah, yes, that...Gnogglebolt scoots out of the way a few inches to let Tathi look at him directly.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Ah, yes, that...&quot; Gnogglebolt scoots out of the way a few inches to let Tathi look at him directly.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">There you go again thinking something bad is going to happen just because the mace -- wait a second.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">You thought we were just some guild of racist demon-killers now it's all coming together.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">You jerks. =3=

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Go on, Tathi.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#7F00FF">&quot;Hello there. You might recognize my name. Eyllisaearsithek?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">I don't deny it.

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">I'm an asshole.

* Thomas Lazarus folds his arms, looking marginally put-off by something unsaid.

Altonor:<font color="#000000">&quot;You're free to ask him yourself,&quot; the drow says to Shankfang with a smile, before looking to Tathi. &quot;I sure do. Are you in contact with your father at all?&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">:D

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Haloo, Herr Pegasus. Kan Hy pet hyu?&quot;

* Kep'salion peers at Shankfang evenly for a while... before nudging him playfully with his nose. :3

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">:D

Tathi:<font color="#7F00FF">&quot;Only the occasional letter. Why do you ask?&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Pet pet stroke pet.

Altonor:<font color="#000000">&quot;Mainly? Because I was hoping you could tell him to stop trying to blow me up every time we crossed paths.&quot; =w=

Miron:<font color="#000000">''And it's a pity he didn't succeed. ''

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt blinks, and in spite of himself, barely supresses a chuckle that comes out as a coughing snort. Like father, like daughter, eh?

Altonor:<font color="#000000">&quot;The first time, I could understand, but the next twelve times... We're on the same side, sun's sake!&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#7F00FF">Tathi can't help it. She snrked at that. &quot;Yep.. That's good ole Daddy. I have to hand it to you. If you can survive a blast from my father, you're much tougher than you look. He's at least twice as powerful as I am.. and a sorcerer to boot.&quot;

Altonor:<font color="#000000">&quot;Don't remind me.&quot; =w=

Tathi:<font color="#7F00FF">&quot;Oh. Sorry. Didn't mean to rub any burns. Or scars.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">''On the same side. Really now.. ''

Altonor:<font color="#000000">&quot;I think I've been fortunate and come across him after he'd been slinging spells for a while. I'd hate to cross him at full strength, resistance to magic or no.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#7F00FF">Tathi blinks, and then looks exasperated. &quot;I swear. Mother and I must be the only ones who don't just sling spells around willy-nilly!&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;A-hem.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Let me guess

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">EVERYONE&quot;S heads turn to stare at Tathi.

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;Exploded a Baron.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">The entire party. :U

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Too busy petting the Pegasus.

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

Tathi:<font color="#7F00FF">&quot;Failed to explode a baron, Sszeyl. My father would have gotten him and his keep!&quot;

Altonor:<font color="#000000">&quot;-- damn, and I'm being rude. Haven't even introduced myself yet. Altonor. Formerly House Iphyl, if that means anything to you.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#7F00FF">&quot;Oh, sorry, side-tracked a bit. Um, where did you see my father last?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Thomas understands, atleast. Tathi is technically much more mana-conservative than he is.

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">Whu-oh,.

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&#171; &#160;1d20+2 = 13 + 2 = 15&#160; <font color="#660000">&#187; Wis check!

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">Do I remember that name?

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh! And that reminds me, we should all probably introduce ourselves, as well.&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">It would be Knowledge (nobility).

* Thomas Lazarus shrugs faintly. ^^;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;I'm Gnogglebolt Sparkgear, from Mazio.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">None of that. :x

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Roll Int, then, with a +2 bonus.

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">But is it one of the Seek and Destroy Five?

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;You named me.&quot; :3 &quot;..Naturally, I'm unfamiliar with the house.. but..&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&#171; &#160;1d20+2 = 8 + 2 = 10&#160; <font color="#660000">&#187; Int check!

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">12.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">It is not one of the Marked Houses, no. Those are Claddani, Lazrien, Mezzelerath, Kilund, and Zaughim.

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">Or 10, whichever. =w=

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">Getting woogly.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Shenkfang de Deffrider, also uf Mazio.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;If you wouldn't mind indulging, how did you come to this life of subverting Lloth's ways from the surface?&quot;

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

Tathi:<font color="#7F00FF">&quot;Tathi. I'm Raerarael's middle child, one of three, two surviving.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Inquisitor Miron Steelsprocket.&quot; *stares at the drow*

Liatai:<font color="#000000">You remember House Iphyl as being an agricultural house. Small-time politically.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Or.. well.. whatever it is you primarily do. I'm quite new to the notion.&quot; ^^;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">Oh thank Gil.

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">=3=

VAE:<font color="#000000">The drow being Altonor, as there are three

Aelian:<font color="#7F00FF">&quot;Aelian Cyadarith, Tathi's lover. Um.. Could I hazard a bit of advice on how to survive an ungodly dangerous father in law?&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#7F00FF">&quot;Aelian!! He's not THAT bad...&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;Avoid meeting him? =3=&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#7F00FF">&quot;You shut your silly mouth, Sszeyl!&quot;

* Altonor laughs.

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">The only way to avoid being killed by tornadoes is to hide.

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">So put ranks into it.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt puts his face in one of his hands and shakes his head, but he's chuckling underneath.

Altonor:<font color="#000000">&quot;I think you're safe, boy. If he's got anything to go after you for, it's not the same reason he's been trying to set me on fire,&quot; he says, tapping his cheek just below his red eyes.

Altonor:<font color="#000000">&quot;As for the whole Raider business, long story, longer than the story of where I've been crossing paths with Maelstrom.&quot;

Altonor:<font color="#000000">&quot;Up north. Heard anything about the town of Yoriver, this far south?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+7 = 13 + 7 = 20&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; Knowledge (local)

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt shakes his head.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">It's a town in the former Charred Veld. And most everyone you've heard about it from tells you to avoid it. Seems the local count has been letting power go to his head, and people are supposedly getting hung for minor offenses.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Hmm, what about the Mace there?

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">PLOT HOOK!

VAE:<font color="#000000">That's the sort of thing Miron would likely know well

Meany:<font color="#660000">The Mace serve the law.

VAE:<font color="#000000">They do.

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

Meany:<font color="#660000">The Nobles, unless overruled by the Crown, are the law.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Not all law serves, or welcomes them

Liatai:<font color="#000000">The count has been picking and choosing Mace members to serve there, it seems. The local commander is a cousin of his.

Tathi:<font color="#7F00FF">&quot;I figured he hadn't move to far from Mum.&quot;

Meany:<font color="#660000">POP QUIZ.

Tathi:<font color="#7F00FF">&quot;Has he been harassing the local nobility again?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">*nods* &quot;I have heard. The place is a little strict..&quot;

Meany:<font color="#660000">What is the typical size of a County?

RAM:<font color="#990000">42

Liatai:<font color="#000000">There are rumors that the Yoriver Mace are some of the most fearsome there are, dancing with dark forces within arm's reach.

RAM:<font color="#990000">Your mom.

RAM:<font color="#990000">Only on Tuesday.

Altonor:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yes, and with good reason!&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt settles in and looks forward, in full 'tell me a story' mode.

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">Sszeyl seems faintly glad it hasn't come time for his introduction yet. =3=

Tathi:<font color="#7F00FF">She purses her lips a moment. &quot;Oh my.. I thought he was embellishing things a little? Is it true then? He's gone complete tyrant?&quot;

Altonor:<font color="#000000">&quot;A little strict doesn't begin to describe it. It makes Braxton Falls look like a halfling village! So many innocent people are facing the hangman's noose due to rushed trials -- hell, even the guilty aren't getting a fair shake! Have you ever heard of a place where pickpockets are sentenced to death, after one was brave enough to try fleecing a guard's pockets?&quot;

RAM:<font color="#990000">PLOT HOOK PLOT HOOK PLOT HOOK!

Altonor:<font color="#000000">&quot;The Kellon authorities are working to evict him, but they're not working fast enough.&quot;

Altonor:<font color="#000000">&quot;That's where people like your father and I come in.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt blanches a little at the story, but still has the same intent look on his face.

Tathi:<font color="#7F00FF">Tathi's eyes widen. &quot;By Alobal! That awful!? Then my father was right on the ball.. The way he went on about it, a devil was in charge! I wonder why he hasn't called for me to come help..&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;There's a difference between committing a crime against a person, and a crime against a representative of the law. The second amounts to harming the whole society. While hanging does seem somewhat strict, I can see their reasoning.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">*seriousface. He dislikes this man already*

Altonor:<font color="#000000">&quot;The corruption runs deep, but the least people like us can do is try to keep his grasp off the citizenry and keep his officials in check.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt spares a moment to shoot a -very- nasty glare at Miron, just breifly, before looking back at the drow, possibly before Miron can even catch it.

Altonor:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hah. You have no idea how right you are, Tathi. Last time I saw your father, there was a devil involved.&quot;

Altonor:<font color="#000000">&quot;Erinyes, if you know the type. Fallen angels.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">*SNERK* PFFFT!

VAE:<font color="#000000">By Alobal

VAE:<font color="#000000">You know what's alobal?

Tathi:<font color="#7F00FF">&quot;Reasoning!?&quot; Tathi says in an aghast tone at Miron. &quot;You dwarf, there is not a single thread of logic, decency, or civilization in such a place as that! I can state for a fact my daddy is probably trying to burn the nobility down- Wait. You said there is a devil?&quot;

Ghostwish:<font color="#7F00FF">Elven god of magic.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Sounds to me like he needs to die.&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Okay, let me think here.

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

Miron:<font color="#000000">(I represent the armed fist of the law. Of course when I roll ,I roll critical.)

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Tathi, in the few days you were at Thalinde, you already attempted murder. You have nothing to say about either civillisation, logic, or decency.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Murder of a noble, more so.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt winces, and immediately jumps in. &quot;Okay now.&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Tathi, and Miron only because he's likely heard of them during his work, recognize them from stories. Rumor is that the first erinyes were angels that were corrupted and fell from the heavens, but they are devils through and through now. They're not above being mistaken for true angels. Thomas knows that they have the power to see the true form of anything, and carry a special rope that they use to entangle their prey, in addition to several spell-like powers.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Stop with the crosstalk. If we must, we can do it later, without company.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Oh hush, Miron. She vas provoked.&quot;

Altonor:<font color="#000000">&quot;What's this now?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt speaks in a tone rather more commanding than is usual for him.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;And pray tell, Altonor. What were fallen angels involved in that town?&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#7F00FF">&quot;Oh really Miron? Well, here's the closing statement. After all of this business is sorted out, I'm leaving the Vigilant Guardians and heading for the Charred Veld.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#7F00FF">&quot;And ill-noble blood will flow in rivers&gt;&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt pales again. &quot;Tathi, not now&quot;

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;M-Miss Tathi?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;We shall meet again, then.&quot;

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;C-can I say something?&quot;

* Altonor looks over at the child.

Altonor:<font color="#000000">&quot;For shame, arguing about such things in front of children. Go ahead, little one.&quot;

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;Okay.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Charred Veld is my home as much as it is yours.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#7F00FF">&quot;Go ahead Terri.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt looks over to Altonor with a very apologetic look on his face.

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;Everybody, do you remember the whole... seals thing with Mr. Sszeyl?&quot;

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;The whole reason we're going west?&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus has fallen dreadfully quiet. &quot;...&quot;

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt nods at Terri.

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;Do you remember everything Grandpa said?&quot;

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;All five of the dragons have to make seals.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Seals?&quot;

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;Kerishorak's brass. Calaserian's silver.&quot;

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;Where do you think they lair?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt mouths &quot;later' to Shankfang.

Tathi:<font color="#7F00FF">&quot;Of course. That's-... Wait. Let me guess. There's a copper dragon in there, isn't there?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">Sszeyl inclines his head.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt looks stumped.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;I;m...not familiar with dragon nesting habits.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;Brass.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+17 = 4 + 17 = 21&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; Knowledge (arcana) Draggies, where do they lair?

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;Mm-hmm. Vaerithosgix is copper.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">Spasm.

Tathi:<font color="#7F00FF">&quot;I knew it.. I guess I we'll be confronting this while helping the seal then. Copper dragons are known to be in and around the Charred Veld.&quot;

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;Brass dragons hold the Moscra Desert. An' Calaserian's usually around Skydragon Citadel in the Nieva Mountains.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;-Brass.-&quot;

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;Nobody knows where Vaerithosgix is now... but the Charred Veld is right between them.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#7F00FF">&quot;Yes Sszeyl, we know.&quot; Tathi says, rolling her eyes. &quot;But, yes, the coppers. My father supposedly has copper dragon blood in his lineage.&quot;

Altonor:<font color="#000000">&quot;And Yoriver is almost directly between the desert and the mountains. Very astute, little one, I'm impressed.&quot; His eyebrows are raised.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt nods to Terri. &quot;I see what you're saying, Terri. Thank you, that is important information.&quot; Gnogglebolt looks at everyone else. &quot;Can we please hold off on any talk of future plans or ideas until after we've gotten the whole story from Altonor here?&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Yah, Terri's schmott!&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Whatever disagreements we may have, let us not have them right this minute.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">*/Proud

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Let's hear then. What were fallen angels doing in the town of Yoriver?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">*crosses arms on chest*

Altonor:<font color="#000000">&quot;Serving as the count's enforcers, of course. What else?&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Shankfang ruffles Terri's hair, smiling down at her.

Altonor:<font color="#000000">&quot;... Aside from the obvious. They do tend to be on the pretty side, in an abhorrently-and-utterly-vile way.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yes. And he rode an gelugon too. With a fur on the saddle, so that his arse wouldn't freeze.&quot;

* Pellan'zyne can be heard muttering, &quot; You've been spending too much time around Quilarak, friend. &quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt shivers and &quot;Yiiig!&quot;s

Altonor:<font color="#000000">&quot;You don't believe me.&quot; It's not a question.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Ice devils, if I recall,

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">I believe so.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Make yourself believed, then.&quot;

* VAE has dramaticsong on loop. Oh boy.

* Thomas Lazarus has had his eyes locked on the campfire mutely for a while.

Altonor:<font color="#000000">&quot;What would serve as a satisfactory proof for you, inquisitor?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;What do you have to offer?&quot;

RAM:<font color="#990000">Miron: &quot;PICS OR IT DIDN'T HAPPEN!&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">It was tempting to write &quot;A signed letter from the Mace branch commander.&quot;

Altonor:<font color="#000000">&quot;Let's hear what you would accept first. I have the distinct feeling you'd write off anything I did produce.&quot;

Altonor:<font color="#000000">&quot;You can ask Raerarael if you won't take my word.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">Heactually gets it.

Tathi:<font color="#7F00FF">&quot;Oh I will be..&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Well, it is you who wish to convince me. But well.. suppose you had a signed letter from their Leaden Mace Commander saying so? &quot; *his face smiles, but eyes don't*

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...There is one little piece of the puzzel that hasn't quite been put into place yet...&quot; Gnogglebolt says hesitantly, trying to change the subject.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Why, exactly, does Tathi's father keep attacking you? I have a guess, but I just wanted to know for sure...&quot;

Altonor:<font color="#000000">&quot;He and I, though not working together, had the same goal. An erinyes was lairing in a brothel near the city hall, serving to both get her kicks and to immediately deal justice to anyone who frequented the establishment. We sought to evict her forcibly. It wasn't just the brothel; she'd been furnished quite nicely with catacombs beneath the city.&quot;

Altonor:<font color="#000000">&quot;... we saw each other halfway in, and the next thing I heard was You again! Servant of the count! Maybe you didn't hear me the last ten times, drow -- and then an explosion as he threw a fireball at me.&quot; =w=;

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

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">That is pretty amusing. x3

Tathi:<font color="#7F00FF">&quot;I think I can add to this.. I'm also easily the only wood elf that I know of that knows what has transpired inside of the drow race. As far as the rest know- wait. He sounded like he had met another drow.&quot;

Altonor:<font color="#000000">&quot;I can't say I blame him for his misconception, but it's getting out of hand!&quot; =w=;

Altonor:<font color="#000000">&quot;He had met another drow.&quot;

Altonor:<font color="#000000">&quot;Me.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">(ooc) Miron Lecturer Mode: Remember children.Like a man fighting blindfolded, Chaos always defeats itself

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yeeeah, I thought it was something like that...wait, what?&quot;

Altonor:<font color="#000000">&quot;Doing the same thing the past eleven times. Working toward the same goal he was.&quot; =w=;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Chaos for life.

VAE:<font color="#000000">you know what's amusing?

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">How well Miron and Shankfang seem to get along so far

Tathi:<font color="#7F00FF">&quot;Oh. So he just thinks you serve this count.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">it's.. kinda like with Flint

Altonor:<font color="#000000">&quot;Exactly.&quot;

RAM:<font color="#990000">Troof.

VAE:<font color="#000000">also, serves to bash the allignment system further

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Sounds like you need...a broker.&quot; Gnogglebolt grins ever-so-slightly.

Altonor:<font color="#000000">&quot;I really can't say I blame him. A wood elf sees a drow in a known foul environment, always when he's trying to destroy minions of the count?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Altonor might not catch on, but the rest of the party certainly should.

Miron:<font color="#000000">He needs a noose 

Tathi:<font color="#7F00FF">&quot;Yeah.. that does sound like Daddy. He's crass, hot-headed, and quite quick on the trigger finger. Mum says I get it from him.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;By all accounts, you really are quite the misfortuned crusader, mister Altonor.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">He's fighting devils and diabolists and working to subvert Lloth's order. &gt;8|

Tathi:<font color="#7F00FF">And the whole party dreads,

Altonor:<font color="#000000">&quot;And here I was hoping I could get you to tell him to knock it off,&quot; Altonor says to Tathi with a wry grin.

Tathi:<font color="#7F00FF">She snickers. &quot;Well don't count me out yet. I am Daddy's little girl after all.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;So, ah...oh. Another question, slightly different topic.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...though, apparently exact same misfortune of misidentificatio.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">Seriously though. At the moment, Miron does have the mental image of both this drow, and Tathi's father killing his far away colleagues.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;We heard from Braxton Falls that you've been sighted near the scenes of the occasional usual raids and monster attacks near urban areas. Most people think you're the one causing them.&quot; Gnogglebolt says grimly.

Altonor:<font color="#000000">&quot;Sun's light, Braxton Falls,&quot; he groans. &quot;Don't get me started.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;And releasing criminals from imprisonment.&quot;

Altonor:<font color="#000000">&quot;Do you know what most of the people in Braxton Falls prisons are there for?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;Petty crimes, forgetting paperwork?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Also heard about how you gave the Mace there quite the runaround. though, from what I heard, it was more funny than malicious. Add that to all this...I don't really believe you're actually the cause of any of the attacks but my question is why you're around here dealing with them at all instead of up north. You seem to be in many places in short order.&quot;

Altonor:<font color="#000000">&quot;Poor people who can't afford to pay their debts. Not to mention the homes of the bankers full of indentured servants from the same population. And that's not even getting into the political prisoners!&quot;

Altonor:<font color="#000000">&quot;A good third of the prisoners are musicians, artists, writers, journalists.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;...Aren't indentured servants just slaves with a fancy name? &gt;.&gt;&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;The pen can be mightier than the sword. And more dangerous, too.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;I thought those were illegal.&quot;

Altonor:<font color="#000000">&quot;Not in Braxton Falls they're not.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;I think the point is 'exactly', Sszeyl...oh. That. Ah.&quot;

Ghostwish:<font color="#7F00FF">miron is quickly headed for lawful evil. &gt;&gt;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;A falsehood in writing often appears more convincing than one in word.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;...So, Braxtoon Falls is a city-state? =3=;&quot;

Altonor:<font color="#000000">&quot;They're pushing toward that end.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">Miron has beei with the people in the mace branch there. He has a far, far different picture of it :3

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt shakes his head again. &quot;That people fighting for good causes must be pariahs...&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">Shrug.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Although!&quot;: Ghostwish:<font color="#7F00FF">Still.. he's kind of supporting locking people up for whatever reason at all.. even lawful neutral tends to follow logic.

Altonor:<font color="#000000">&quot;I can't say I understand the politics. I just know there are people suffering there who can't get out.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">And Miron is lawful neutral, still. He doesn't subvert the law .. he defends his own colleagues, and order.

Sszeyl: <font color="#660000">(( Police state logic. ))

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;You might be happy to know that you might be getting help soon.&quot; gnogglebolt smiles.

Altonor:<font color="#000000">&quot;Ah yes. Pell told me about your Palm plan.&quot;

Sszeyl: <font color="#660000">(( They pose a threat by the symbols they gather people around. ))

Sszeyl: <font color="#660000">(( Remove the symbol, the people cannot gather. ))

Sszeyl: <font color="#660000">(( No problem anymore. ))

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">gnogglebolt thenr ealizes he hasn't told anyone else yet. Oh bother, I really meant to do that...

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">Ololol.

Altonor:<font color="#000000">&quot;Afraid I'm ahead of you there.&quot; :3

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;First part's the more serious one. Second part I've rethought myself, it's probably never going to happen...&quot; Gnogglebolt then blinks.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh, &quot; *unintelligible in multiple languages

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">He looks at everyone else. &quot;Sorry, I meant to tell you, but I was working on my device all day--when we're done here.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hmm?&quot; Gnogglebolt perks up with interest at Altonor.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;People suffering there. Interestingly enough, I haven't seen many, definitely not more than in the Veld, or even Castleton, But then, for one who sees demons everywhere, imagining suffering is just a small step.&quot;

Altonor:<font color="#000000">&quot;Part of the reason I'm down here... well. What's in central Akellon, between the desert and Braxton Falls?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">Sszeyl looks at Thomas.

Altonor:<font color="#000000">&quot;Lorellon. The seat of the Aureate Palm.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...the capital, Lorellon?&quot;: Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">''He seems to think you are of the same mind as he. Is it so?''

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Ahh. Oh yes! That was the first place we heard of you.&quot;

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

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Looks fantastically distracted.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">He doesn't seem to have heard a word said for minutes.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;And we heard you were walking around in broad daylight there, too. At least you could do that much there...&quot;

* Altonor laughs. &quot;I need to cover my tracks a little better, it seems! Where did you hear of me from?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Miron here apparently heard it from a pie saleswoman.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Nearly launched a full inquision on her too, from what Sszeyl said.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Though, Miron inquests everything. he tried to inquest a cup.&quot;

Meany:<font color="#660000">Altonor: &quot;Look at my horse, my horse is amazing. Give it a lick!&quot; Pellan'zyne: &quot;Mmm! It tastes just like raisins!&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;An enchanted cup which, as I have found, belonged to one of our Inquisitors.&quot;

Altonor:<font color="#000000">&quot;Esoteria Bakery, probably. Cal does like their apple crumb cakes. I just had to pick one up before going to see him.&quot; He snorts with laughter. &quot;-- A cup?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yes, a cup.&quot; Gnogglebolt grins toothily.

RAM:<font color="#990000">At a stroke of its mane it turns into a plane and then it turns back again when you tuig on its winkie!

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;A sentient enchanted cup. Goes by Cole.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;But still a cup.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">*unamused gnome is unamused*

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Whatever has a will on its own can enter the services of evil.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;A kup?! Bweeheehee!&quot;

Altonor:<font color="#000000">&quot;But yes, it's one of the few places where any drow could walk around unmolested if they don't cause trouble. Same for any race, really.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Sszeyl's been walkinjg around Castleton fror months now, and our group is starting to gain reputation.&quot;

Altonor:<font color="#000000">&quot;Thank the Palm for that. And that's what I was there for, to see if they'd vouch for me.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;You could probably visit there as well, if you wanted.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;Because I don't actually consider humans a threat.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">=w=

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Not the point, sszeyl!&quot;

Altonor:<font color="#000000">&quot;So far the answer seems to be yes, but they're reluctant to put their backing behind someone with a warrant out for them, even if it is a Braxton one.&quot; =w=

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">Braxton is now the North Korea of Akellon.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Surprised to hear that, I am not.&quot;

Altonor:<font color="#000000">&quot;Then I got Cal'tel's letter, and here we are.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">No, not North Korea

Sszeyl: <font color="#660000">(( I demand that if it's leader ever appears, he have as Kim Jong-Il token. ))

VAE:<font color="#000000">That's Ezzebek

Sszeyl: <font color="#660000">(( Stfu, you. ))

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">*claws flick out*

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Eep, good gravy!

Liatai:<font color="#000000">It's almost midnight.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Well, let's hope for more success with Pellan'Zyne here.&quot;

Meany:<font color="#660000">Yes.

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Shall we leave off here with noms and pick up next session?

TMG:<font color="#000000">Want to try something.

VAE:<font color="#000000">but then, after this, the lynx will have trouble sleeping.

Meany:<font color="#660000">That pussyfooting about for four hours comes back to bite us.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Perhaps so.

TMG:<font color="#000000">Yes indeedy, but one more thing I want to try, not roleplaying with this :o

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

TMG:<font color="#000000">I...-hate- doing things in advance like this, but I'm left with litle choice;

TMG:<font color="#000000">can I try and roll -tomorrow's- crasft check right now, in case gnogglebolt gets enough EXP to levelup? If so, then Gnogglebolt can levelup properly, but not take effect until the device is complete. And if the roll fails, well, then I'll just stall my EXP at 99

TMG:<font color="#000000">Oh okay rolling -3-

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

Meany:<font color="#660000">Shankfang for &quot;I'M FLYING! I'M FALLING! I'M CRASHING!&quot;*

VAE:<font color="#000000">Terri for revealing she's a dragon to everyone but the inquisitors

VAE:<font color="#000000">Tathi for CARPET SPREE

RAM:<font color="#990000">Not everyone.

Ghostwish:<font color="#7F00FF">rofl

RAM:<font color="#990000">Just Shankfang.

VAE:<font color="#000000">seriously. Imagine a crazy witch forcing you to choose a gift carpet

VAE:<font color="#000000">I so wouldn't want to be that guard

Meany:<font color="#660000">Tathi for DADDY DEAREST.

Ghostwish:<font color="#7F00FF">&quot;Here you go. Have a nice carpet. OR GO HOME AS A TOAD. &gt;:O&quot;

RAM:<font color="#990000">Edaric for Bag of Holding shennanigans.

Meany:<font color="#660000">Seconded.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Sentient food, whoever it caused.

Ghostwish:<font color="#7F00FF">Ram AND Edaric for shennanigans!

Ghostwish:<font color="#7F00FF">Yes, nom everyone for the sentient food fiasco.

TMG:<font color="#000000">Oh yes, shankfang and edaric for the bag shenannigans. xD

RAM:<font color="#990000">Sszeyl, Terri and Shankfang were sentient food.

Ghostwish:<font color="#7F00FF">Don't forget Aelian's part in the shennigans!

VAE:<font color="#000000">Also, nominating Sszeyl for &quot;hey, are you guys seriously law enforcement? you look like some silly pooftas in uniforms&quot;

RAM:<font color="#990000">Yeah, Aelian too.

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">And the discussion that ensued

Ghostwish:<font color="#7F00FF">he probably looked the worst.. bright red hair..

RAM:<font color="#990000">Terri for &quot;Do you want to know a secret?&quot;

Meany:<font color="#660000">Hmm.

Ghostwish:<font color="#7F00FF">SO seconding Sszeyl's nominations. &quot;So like.. are you guys cops.. or janitors?&quot;

Meany:<font color="#660000">Gnogglebolt for &quot;Tell me a story, sirrah.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt... but for obvious arseclimbery and favouritism

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Dear diary: EVERYONE THINKS I'M A JOKE D: Meany:<font color="#660000">Not you.

VAE:<font color="#000000">He's so blatantly trying to gain approval of the drow that it isn't even funny

Meany:<font color="#660000">Just your boss.

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

Meany:<font color="#660000">=3=

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Dear diary: But maybe Anise likes me. &gt;.&gt;

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

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">In DnDMFA the party's boss does think they are a bad joke about half the time

RAM:<font color="#990000">Anise?

Tathi:<font color="#7F00FF">Dear diary: You're a fucking spellbook why am I writing to you.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Anise Berlia

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

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

Meany:<font color="#660000">Also, Lia.

VAE:<font color="#000000">The inquisitor with the hard fists.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Drunkmonk inquisitor.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Before my time.

Meany:<font color="#660000">Given Vargie developments, and recent TSF vid.

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

Meany:<font color="#660000">I cannot stop thinking of Vargie having TFS' Freiza voice.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Basically, when they reported from the mines, she went &quot;Hmm... lemme check Spellcraft for Touch of Idiocy.. hmm.. nothing.. are you drunk?&quot;

Railock whispers: will you be available for any more char discussion after, or should it wait till tomorrow?

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Tom's crush was revealed by the party. Perhaps without them realizing it. :B

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">... I honestly think with noms, Terri has nearly enough to level up. o.o

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">And he was like, &quot;OH. HUM. MAYBE THAT IS TRUE I DON'T KNOW. &gt;.&gt;&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">That cute little halfling will be disappointed...

Meany:<font color="#660000">:o

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Okay seriously she looks like a little girl.

VAE:<font color="#000000">THe halfling is for Miron!

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

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">There I said it.

Ghostwish:<font color="#7F00FF">aw, I don't get any for my amusement park idea? :P

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">So, you're a pedophile?

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Do you really wanna dance that dance

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

GM:<font color="#000000">Last call for noms!

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">:P

VAE:<font color="#000000">also ,who looks like a little girl?

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">does she?

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Running meta-joke.

TMG:<font color="#000000">Nothing for David morian conclusion? :B

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

TMG:<font color="#000000">ah well

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

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

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Tathi for, &quot;STOP RIGHT THERE CRIMI--*player clicks through dialogue, pays fine* VERY WELL THEN.... &gt;:|&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">But still, it's a hillarious possibility. Given what sort of town Braxton Falls is, I can actually imagine Miron settling in there, in a way XD

Meany:<font color="#660000">Gnogglebolt for &quot;MINIONS. HAVE YOU FINISHED YOUR TASK?&quot;

Ghostwish:<font color="#7F00FF">rofl

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">We should ban everyone from cooking after they make sentient food

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

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Until eventually it's like

TMG:<font color="#000000">hatari; oh gawd I -actually just imagined that- overlaying my screen. xD

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Amadre has to cook.

VAE:<font color="#000000">that's almost as bad as the cooking in the pony fanfic Saph had me read

VAE:<font color="#000000">(not his, just something he found)

You whisper to Railock: Sure. Just as long as it's in Liatalk. :3

VAE:<font color="#000000">Oh, one more nom

Railock whispers: that's fine. rollbot cna do hp rolls which is probably the only thing that needs rolling or maptools

VAE:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt's Oh FUCK face

VAE:<font color="#000000">when he heard Altonor about the feathers, and realised what the hair was likely for

VAE:<font color="#000000">and yet he has no proof.

VAE:<font color="#000000">And will have to steam himself in doubt

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

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Tom just felt horrible during that scene. ^^;

GM:<font color="#000000">If not, that's fine, I've got a nice crop of noms here.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Yeah. That was a failure

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Like, (THIS IS WHY THEY THINK WE ARE HORRIBLE GRRR &gt;:E)

RAM:<font color="#990000">Nope, I'm done.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Miron got a little careless there.. but well, he knows to cut his losses.. and will try to remember the place to return

GM:<font color="#000000">Thomas - 200 XP - Faildragon away! 200 XP - Is that what you really think of us? Jeez...

VAE:<font color="#000000">Or, send Inquisitor Geas

GM:<font color="#000000">Shankfang - 200 XP - Dragonpile! 200 XP - Bag of holding shenanigans! Dude. Fistbump. 200 XP - OH GODS IT'S EATING MY FACE.

VAE:<font color="#000000">he has a tracking dog

GM:<font color="#000000">Tathi - 200 XP - For facilitating dragon fun times. 200 XP - Good gravy I honestly did think you were going to blow up those guards. =w=; But you gave them carpets. Tathi-ized.

VAE:<font color="#000000">he can track miron's footsteps

GM:<font color="#000000">Aelian - 200 XP - Bag of holding shenanigans! POOF.

GM:<font color="#000000">Edaric - 200 XP - Bag of holding shenanigans! GET OVER HERE. *_*

GM:<font color="#000000">Sszeyl - 200 XP - What was in that spice bag? 200 XP - You're actually cops? Huh. Sorry.

GM:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt - 300 XP - BACKSTORY BACKSTORY *chibi fist flail* 300 XP - Oh hey! Remember us? We're the plot from months ago. -- Oh yay, you do! :D 300 XP - Wait -- scrying?

GM:<font color="#000000">Miron - 200 XP - Drow: &quot;It's because we're black, isn't it?&quot; Oh gods the bricks I'm sorry --

Ghostwish:<font color="#7F00FF">Okay

TMG:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;27150+300+300+300 = 27150 + 300 + 300 + 300 = 28050&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Ghostwish:<font color="#7F00FF">This is the part where I punch holes in the DM's screen and peek through.

VAE:<font color="#000000">If anything, VAE'd have thought miron would get one for the dream

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

Ghostwish:<font color="#7F00FF">What would you have done if I had nuked the gaurds? :&gt;

GM:<font color="#000000">Miron - 200 XP - Dream Sequence.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">I can tell you what I would have done

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

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Told you to roll grapple. :B

* TMG smacks forehead!

TMG:<font color="#000000">The dream sequence!

TMG:<font color="#000000">Totally forgot that

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

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">That was worth a nom.

VAE:<font color="#000000">yeah. I'm.. slightly proud of that one

Meany:<font color="#660000">Woo.

Ghostwish:<font color="#7F00FF">Thirding!

RAM:<font color="#990000">Agreed!

Meany:<font color="#660000">6.1k away from level.

TMG:<font color="#000000">Let's just hope it's not phrophetic. :B

Meany:<font color="#660000">Fifthing.

TMG:<font color="#000000">*prophetic

Liatai:<font color="#000000">... honestly I don't know. :B Have Logub rush Tathi. Beyond that I don't know.

VAE:<font color="#000000">See.. gnogglebolt .. he 's very concerned of what he heard from him during the scrying

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">When I was unannounced AFK, I was downstairs talking with my mom. &quot;I don't know what I'm going to do what if Tathi actually blows up the guards D:&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">oh Lia, will you be on IRC after game?

Liatai:<font color="#000000">I will. :3

VAE:<font color="#000000">Also, you have awesome family

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

Ghostwish:<font color="#7F00FF">lolololololololol

VAE:<font color="#000000">My life would be a lot easier if I could plot with them.

* VAE at least can use owl.

Ghostwish:<font color="#7F00FF">man, you know you've played the loose cannon well when not even the DM knows what to do. XD

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

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">I'd like to point out that

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">When Terri asked what we could do for fun

Ghostwish:<font color="#7F00FF">Welp! If that's that. there's some tanks that need to get blown up. You game, VAE?

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">I had actually given up and had no idea.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Hang on.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">But then blurted out the first idea that came to mind

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Ghost, please save the campaign file? I'm going to do the same.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">And immediately google image searched :B

VAE:<font color="#000000">Instead it goes like 'Are you playing in the evening again?&quot; (aunt) Lynx: Yes. Her: &quot;Why do you bother, even?&quot; Me:&quot;Why do you bother with stupid questions? And I play a lot less ofen than you ask them.&quot;

Ghostwish:<font color="#7F00FF">Saved!

VAE:<font color="#000000">that was seriously the exchange that took place towards the end of the phonecall during our tanking session ,Ghost.

VAE:<font color="#000000">of course, asides from folks asking me who won sometimes.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">I thought for sure the first thing someone would say is &quot;get drunk.&quot; Miron delivered. :B

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">Miron actually did play that with Anise a few times, I imagine

VAE:<font color="#000000">few interpreted liberally, of course

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">I was like, &quot;Funnn.. what would be fun.. uhhhhg, I know Terri is just asking this to cheer Tom up what would *flashback*&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;8O&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Tom: &quot;DRAGONS.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">Also, Ghost - i'm sure game, but I need to speak with Lia for some time first.

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

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">Oh, hatari

VAE:<font color="#000000">The song I linked earlier, I need to translate you the lyrics, too

* VAE thinks it kinda fits Tom

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">I hope the lyrics are more appropriate than the tone. XD

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">well, it at least somewhat fits the way VAE sees him

VAE:<font color="#000000">and .. the tone did fit IMHO as well.

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">know what? Come to my channel too #argument_atrium

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Okay, I've got the campaign file saved. :3

TMG:<font color="#000000">Great session, everyone!

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

Ghostwish:<font color="#7F00FF">Freaking awesome. XD

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Server may go down at your leisure, spectral one. Indeed, good game! :D

Liatai:<font color="#000000">-- OH

Meany:<font color="#660000">Good game.

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

Meany:<font color="#660000">Draining game. =w=

Liatai:<font color="#000000">I FORGOT A NOM FROM THE DM.

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">The opposite, Meany

GM:<font color="#000000">Sszeyl - 200 XP - Kittens! *.*

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

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

RAM:<font color="#990000">Man, only 200 more to level 8...

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Okay I'm done. :B

VAE:<font color="#000000">This sort of thing generally excites my nerves enough to be awake for hours more.

RAM:<font color="#990000">Just one nom short!

Ghostwish:<font color="#7F00FF">Shutting down..

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">MORE PEOPLE IN THE INIT WHEEL

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

TMG:<font color="#000000">hang on a sec, saving token...

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

You have disconnected.
