 * VAE mrwoeth

Liatai:.... is it bad that I can't wait for Mink to show up again in DMFA, for more token opportunities? *brick'd*

Dr. Hatari has connected.

Ghostwish:How do you think I feel about the elf in Fey Winds? SHE'S BEEN GONE FOR SO LONG I CAN'T REMEMBER HER NAME.

Liatai:Larina. XP

Ghostwish:Thank you. ^^;;;

Glitch has connected.

Ghostwish:... and we start talking about Tathi and THIS pops up: http://www.randompics.net/?p=13659

VAE:Ghost, this is why I make my own tokens

Ghostwish:HATARI HALP ITS STALKING ME

VAE:They are uglier, but I can get them whenever

Dr. Hatari:Okay quit randonpicing. :P

Ghostwish:No.


 * Ghostwish is also playing sword of the stars.

Dr. Hatari:Or atleast be courteous and direct link images.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">So you don't cause viral chains of fucking about.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Scanning for trolling... am I wasting my time?

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Like has happened in IRC.

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

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">You'll never find it. :3

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

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

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

GM:<font color="#000000">Well then! Since we've already had a significant delay, let's get cracking. I've moved your tokens to the closest approximations of their post-mini-session locations; if you'd like to roleplay when first bringing Sheythsanthi into the temple, you can move your tokens back into the tunnel area.

GM:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt, I put you in the forge area, as I did Tomi and Dorf; you guys are free to move to wherever you like, I just put them there for convenience's sake.

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">Well, for Serrierr, at least...

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">We should probably do roll call.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Oh yes, roll call. :B

GM:<font color="#000000">That's the tunnel area I was talking about, sorry. :B

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

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

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">here

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">*drunken rambling*

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">(actually, I was about to say he heads straight for the old meeting area. :B That's why I put him there)

Glitch:<font color="#000000">And present. Just for roll call's sake. :B

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

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

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

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Well, we rescued him. And probably pissed off the devils by showing them a celestial is in town...we should ptobably make our next move soon&quot;

GM:<font color="#000000">Hold on there, Gamal. We still need to do...

GM:<font color="#000000">Character questions! While we wait for Meany.

GM:<font color="#000000">Today's character question...

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

Glitch:<font color="#000000">and here I thought you were about to start without them for once. xD Not that I'd complain, but eh. :B

VAE:<font color="#000000">Pop is an eastern orthodox priest

GM:<font color="#000000">When is your character's birthday?


 * VAE wins


 * Thomas Lazarus nurses wineglass. Monocle pops off at quiz announcement. =3=~Q !

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;18th Damarron, thank you very much.&quot;

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

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">All of my bricks, Mink. All of my bricks.&quot;

GM:<font color="#000000">See, I wondered who noted it and who didn't. :P

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">A month before the in-game started? ^^;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">That's all I remember off the top of my head without checking the wiki. :B


 * VAE didn't note, VAE remembers


 * Tomiko Lazarus blatantly cheats off of her brother's character sheet. &quot;The dice say Boccon 15th... which would be December 28th on our calendar. :D&quot;

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">|D

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">Jasta 1st.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&gt;:T

VAE:<font color="#000000">but then, Miron's birthday was an in-game thing.

Aelian:<font color="#9933FF">Well shit. My sheet got wiped and that's where mine was. I AM AMNESIA.

GM:<font color="#000000">Whoa, hey, stealthMeany. :.

Edaric:<font color="#000000">I can check for you. :3

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">... I do not think I ever rolled a birthday for Swallowtail... &gt;.&gt;;

VAE:<font color="#000000">Poor swallowtail, not having a birthday.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">You only named her a few weeks ago.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Maybe they don't care for them much in Amaya

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">It stands to reason. :

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

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">So she's illegal forever? *brick'd!*

VAE:<font color="#000000">A few weeks ? She's been swallowtail since forever

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Her real name.

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">Is it bad it struck me just now that it's a pseudonym

Edaric:<font color="#000000">Aelian's birthday is Fharlon 2nd. :3 Mine's Fharlon 22nd.

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">... really? x3


 * VAE thought it be her surname or a translation or something such

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">To be precise.. when was the Burning again?

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">No, it is my school name. Just as Sszeyl's is Swan Song.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Well apparently so does most of the party, since they have never, ever asked her about it.

GM:<font color="#000000">All right, for those who didn't answer...

GM:<font color="#000000">Tathi, Ehlon 18th. Gamal, Damarron 12th.

Teeny Rin:<font color="#FF0000">50 DKP minus?

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">Hold on. Was that a random roll or is that when the burning happened?

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">It was randomly rolled at the time, I believe.

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">... But the burning was already an esta- you forgot too. XP

GM:<font color="#000000">RIGHT THEN CHARACTER QUESTIONS. ^^;;

VAE:<font color="#000000">Gamal's birthday was a week before miron's ?

GM:<font color="#000000">&quot;Does your character swear?&quot;

Tathi: <font color="#9933ff">(( ^^;;;;;;;;;;; ))

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

Teeny Rin:<font color="#FF0000">Sitting in for the place of Thomas this week, will be commander Scary Eyeball.

Tathi: <font color="#9933ff">(( I just found it in my notes.. XP ))


 * Teeny Rin is bricked away!

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

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Yes. Like a sailor, but only languages I'm reasonably sure people around me don't understand. :B

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Elven has some very interesting swears..&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Nope.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">Depends on the company. :3

Kor:<font color="#9933FF">FUCK OFF.

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">Not often.

Tavia:<font color="#9933FF">Aroooo?

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Tiamat's three arses, what fuckwit thought up a question this stupid.&quot;

Dorf Aias:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Dwarves INVENTED swearin'!&quot;

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Freely! Probably the second or third most foul-mouthed character in the Liatalk swarm.

Altonor:<font color="#000000">Hell yeah I do. =3=

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Behind Miron and Otto. =w=

Lyle Petersen:<font color="#000000">Such vulgarity. |3 *brick'd*

Firaira:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;No.&quot;

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Miron being the indisputed king of swearing.

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">He's probably said arse more times than I've said words total, in my lifetime.

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

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;You know what just isn't fair, Altonor?&quot;

Altonor:<font color="#000000">What, inquisitor?

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;A drowish arse, that's what.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">*grins like he won a lottery*

Altonor:<font color="#000000">HA! That's actually a good one. |D

Glitch:<font color="#000000">....I don't get it. :B

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">..Well I could've said 'no'.. ... ..but then Yoriver happened and I've been barely holding myself back from teamkilling. =w=;;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Fair arse = light skinned.

GM:<font color="#000000">&quot;Where does your character fall on a cynicism vs. hopefulness spectrum?&quot;

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

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

Edaric:<font color="#000000">Definitely on the hopeful side. :3

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">Cynical.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Hopeful! Must never let it go.

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Now there is an interesting question. I've been sliding steadily out of the cynical spectrum and more towards the hopeful since SEEDS was founded.&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;I tend towards hopeful, despite what Ed says, the spoony bard.&quot;

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">what the

Altonor:<font color="#000000">Hopeful.

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">Liatai. Are you back-trolling me? :P

Viceth:<font color="#000000">Hmm... middle of the road, really.

Kor:<font color="#9933FF">Cynical.

Lyle Petersen:<font color="#000000">... Do you people get disembodied voices asking you morality questions often? You should probably get that checked out. *brick'd*

Liatai:<font color="#000000">What happened, Ghost?

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">Tathi got deleted and then reappeared. :P

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Generally hopeful. But.. probably to a lot less extreme extent than people might expect. Hope tempered with a dose of realism, you might say. Work towards making the real world better. It's my job, the spirit of our entire church. You can't do this for a decade and not realize how some things are just going to be.. ^^;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Like Miron? :B

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Huh? Ah. No. XD You moved her back into the wall, into the VBL. I dragged her back out again.

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

Dorf Aias:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;You shut yer gob 'n' answer th' question!&quot; The dwarf hollars at Lyle-muse. &gt;:|

Firaira:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Cynical.&quot;

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Hope and cynacism would require worrying about the future one way or the other. I try not to get caught up in that.

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">I have an idea for Ghost trolling.

Sheythsanthi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Such things are silly. I rely on what is, and what is not.&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Ack, Sheyth, you're not in the temple yet, get back there you slippery elf. :P

Meany whispers: Edit the character theme music to have a Tathi/Aelian music: Call Me Maybe. Given how fast their relationship went.

Sheythsanthi:<font color="#9933FF">Aw. :(

Meany whispers: :P

Teeny Rin:<font color="#FF0000">PAY THE TOLL. TEN ORENS.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;I... don't know. I tend to expect the worst...but at the same time... If I didn't have hope in what I'm doing, that it makes a difference and that one day, the world will be rid of drowish taint.. and what happened at Kemmer will not repeat.. well... you know. Besides Saint Cuthbert tells us that while our work is never done, it bears fruit, and by his holy cudgel, I have seen some of it already... the whole Veld..&quot;

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

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Here, let me answer that for you;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">THE MOST CYNICAL EVER EVER.

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

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

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">It's amusing.

GM:<font color="#000000">&quot;How much do your characters' neighbors know about her and her living habits?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Lyle, be glad. I got talked to by a fucking bike for months.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Kind've hard to hide.. I live in the largest house in town!&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;My neighbours have been my colleagues.. I live in the Mace barracks or more usually, in the branch archives. So... lots.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">Neighbors?

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">What neighbors?

Edaric:<font color="#000000">Well, I kind of live on the road nowadays... so my fellow adventurers would be my neighbors, then? There are no secrets in an adventuring company, or so the saying goes. :B

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">*fifth electrical detonation from the workshop this week* &quot;Huh? What do you mean I'm being served a complaint about noise?&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;I find myself a little anxious about what the neighbors think of us..&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">I have Fuzzy.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">I wasn't really that close to my neighbors back in Lorellon. Upper-class district and all.. {:3c And since then, I was living in a temple. So I guess my neighbors knew me.. pretty.. well maybe? ^^;;

Sheythsanthi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;They know that I know everything about them.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;It's .. I find it natural ... after all, we weren't a small family, what with cousins and whoever else working in the glassworks, and the dwarves, they live together too.&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">... I have no neighbors, except the Guardians... and they don't even know me that well.

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Oh. All of my neighbors know me by name and vocation.

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Cue peals of echoring laughter in the night. *w*

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Living on one's own, alone... that's something I'd consider more worrying. Saint Cuthbert teaches us that strength comes through unity... even spuds are found in the ground in clusters.&quot;

GM:<font color="#000000">&quot;Does your character ever get drunk or high? What is she like at those times?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">I don't touch alcohol. It only dulls my mind, and that's the most important thing I have.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Super-campaign self-evident.

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Super-campaign self-evident.


 * Dr. Hatari is bricked.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Do I need to answer?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Tell them, Anise!&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">I tend to start singing after three pints.

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">I like a good hard drink every now and then! Something with a nice kick to fire me up.

Anise Berilan:<font color="#000000">Huh, sorry, what? Organizing my liquor stash. |D~

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">Between Tathi and Dorf, the laughter drowns out any managable answer.

Aelian:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Only on special occasions, or when Ed manages to convince me too.. and then I become a fool.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">I apparently slough off all manners and become so friendly that I start telling stories non-stop and asking really forward questions of people.

Sheythsanthi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;No. The mind must be forever sharp.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">I'm pretty sure I asked Max once if he could get pregnant. =w=;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;That said... eh. There used to be a time I had to have a few stiff drinks to fall asleep, even, and a time where the same could make me lunge at just about every shadow that seemed out of place. Glad it's behind.&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">You did, Thomas.

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">The mental images cannot be unseen.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">I had a good excuse; Thalinde sucks. D| *bricked*

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;An inquisitor that doesn't drink? If I haven't interrogated your lieutenant and Lyle,I'd consider you a heretic, Sheythshanti&quot; *grins*

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">That was after leaving Resca, we had not been to Thalinde a second time yet. =3=;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Well maybe it was in preparation for arrival then. =3=;c

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">I don't remember who cares.

Lyle Petersen:<font color="#000000">Only on special occasions. Sad to say I don't hold my alcohol very well. I have a different drug of choice.

Lyle Petersen:<font color="#000000">On that note, never give alcohol to Junior Inquisitor Arianis if the building you're in isn't fireproof.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;That you have.. I have seen dwarven furnaces that smoked less.&quot;

Ansramil Hawkin:<font color="#000000">... given the reputation of the Eyllisaearsitheks, I wonder if that's a general trait for elven magi... but I typically don't lose my temper when drunk. I usually get quiet and stand too close to people.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;I recommend you don't try that with Anise, especially if she's had a couple as well.&quot;

Anise Berilan:<font color="#000000">Hey, let's have a drunken spar, I'll whoop your ass. |D

Glitch whispers: I just thought of something that has the potential to be crazy hilarious, although there's probably no way I could reasonably make it happen outside of deliberately doing it on purpose.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Ah, that neutralize poison trick with the fey-wine was brilliant. =w=

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Fuck you, Tom. Fuck you with a kyton's chain.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;My head aches when I try to remember the day after.&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Whinin' dog, BRB.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Mmkay, back.... anyone else here?

Liatai:<font color="#000000">:03

Sheythsanthi: <font color="#9933ff">(( yup! ))

Glitch whispers: You remember in Dominic Deegan, how early on in the comic Dominic was a smoker, but then he got blasted with White magic that 'cured' his lungs and additction which removed his tolerance, and he couldn't smoke anymore?

You whisper to Glitch: Yes.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Here as always, still thinking about all the damn cabbage.&quot;

Glitch whispers: Would you fluff-rule that high-powered curative magic like Heal or Restoration would have the same effect, if expended specifically for that purpose? 83

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

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

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

You whisper to Glitch: Possibly. :B

GM:<font color="#000000">Railock? Hatari?

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

Glitch whispers: Because now I can't get out of my head this scene of, after Yoriver's cleaned up and Serrierr's about to step through the planes and go home, he gives Lyle a parting gift-- &quot;the gift of health.&quot; Casts unidentified magic suddenly, then hops through with a &quot;buh bye!&quot; before Lyle can figure it out...and when Lyle shrugs and lights one up... &quot;DAMN THAT ELARDIN! CURSE YOU, SERRIERRRRRRR!&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Double rollcall here and not on youtube waiting. :B

Liatai:<font color="#000000">... Rail? Are you here, or will I need to start the Elros counter again? ^^;;;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">sorry, talking to roomate

VAE:<font color="#000000">. . . Elros counter?

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Connected-but-not-participating.

VAE:<font color="#000000">it's spelled roommate, unless it's like jarate made from a roomie

Glitch:<font color="#000000">How odd it is that the only characters who have been prone to &quot;Elros syndrome&quot; have been dual-weapon-wielding characters. :B

Sszeyl: <font color="#cc0066">(( Or a kangaroo. ))

VAE:<font color="#000000">Eh, Trofim might have been a little prone too, but that's because there were long spans of time where he had nothing to do.

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">Anyway. We ready to get this show on the road? :U

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Hopefully, it's only five o' clock. =w=;

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">I will be exploding soon.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">brb, at that

VAE:<font color="#000000">On Episode 104 of Full Metal Akellon ....

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">To relocate to great grandma's.


 * VAE grins

GM:<font color="#000000">Anyway! Last session on Akellon... after a trip through a trap-filled basement that was full of hidden exposition, the Guardians succeeded on their mission and rescued Senior Inquisitor Sheythsanthi Simtherzairvin! On the return trip, since you had such precious cargo with you and it had been noted that devils were watching the streets, your Olidamarran guide brought you belowground.

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">Not for an hour and a half easily, though.

GM:<font color="#000000">You have just returned to the temple, with Senior Inquisitor in tow. Commence returning RPs, and then we'll skip ahead to post-mini-session RPs. :3

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">Well, first thing Serrierr does is flutter off to the earlier meeting place. Still strange how something so large and so muscled can move so quietly.

Miron:<font color="#000000">Well, wasn't first thing Miron did report to Gradia? It probably was. He's a man of procedure.

Grant Warner:<font color="#000000">Serrierr hears the sounds of an active forge, not so much the sounds of a meeting.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Well, we rescued him. And probably pissed off the devils by showing them a celestial is in town...we should ptobably make our next move soon&quot;

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">When he enters the room, &quot;Allies! We return from our mission, triumphant, for we have collected our objective and brought him back. And since we departed early, I would like to know what the next objective is!&quot;

Ennis Baker:<font color="#000000">&quot;Here we are... your fellows are likely right through that door, Senior Inquisitor?&quot;

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">God, he's like that one person at work who's always peppy.

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">And is obviously on cocaine.

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

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">Owl I luvv u

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">He -is- an Eladrin. :B

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">But not that way Tom and Ed do.

Sheythsanthi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Quite. We shall see who remains fellows and who does not, but I am expecting a much better turnaround than back at the Mace.&quot;

Grant Warner:<font color="#000000">&quot;Never mind that, where's that god-damned alchemical silver at?!&quot; the one-legged inquisitor manning the forge snaps without looking up.

Cocky Kordite:<font color="#000000">&quot;Comin' up!&quot;

Sheythsanthi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;.. Now there's one of the fellows I've been looking to talk to.&quot;

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">&quot;...Hmm. It would seem the meeting has been relocated.&quot;

Grant Warner:<font color="#000000">&quot;Took your sweet time about it!&quot; &gt;:\

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Sheyth, that's in a different location. :B

Liatai:<font color="#000000">You'd need to head back through the tunnel to reach the forge. :B

Miron:<font color="#000000">Miron approaches Anise and Ansramil with a question about Gradia's location, tying a knot in the timeline.

Sheythsanthi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Grant Warner..&quot; The inquisitive says simply..

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">However, Serrierr notices Tomiko, and steps closer. &quot;You there! You were at the meeting earlier, and from what I understand, you have been conducting your own activities against The Enemy on your own initiative before joining up here.&quot;

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">&quot;By any chance, do you have an idea of what your next operation will be?&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">given the time it took to deal with the minis, I think i'll be reading up on Commissar Cain's deeds until you give me a heads-up, K?


 * Tomiko Lazarus dons a kind of stunned look and sets down a sword. &quot;... Uh. Hi, Serrierr.&quot;

Grant Warner:<font color="#000000">&quot;Not now, Sim, hot metal coming through!&quot; Again without looking up.

VAE:<font color="#000000">we don't want to fuck up the timeline, after all.

Sheythsanthi whispers: That kind of focus on work normal for him? :3

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">&quot;Tomiko Lazarus, was it?&quot;

You whisper to Ghostwish: Yep. :B

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I guess that depends on what we have to learn from what's-his-name. You got him back..?&quot;


 * VAE 'll want to chat to Gradia due to reasons mentioned in chat as soon as the events of the mini with Lyle and Roy end, ofc.

Grant Warner:<font color="#000000">Clang, clang, clang! Looks like the head of a mace being hammered out.

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot; Usually Raerarael does our planning.&quot;

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">Except he's dead.

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">Killed by ninjas.

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yes! Though indeed, I do suppose debreifing him is something the others in charge will have to do...hmph.&quot;

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">Serrierr looks as said man squeezes past behind him.

Sheythsanthi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot; Well that much is reassuring. &quot; Sheyth says in elven, and then walks a bit closer. &quot; Now to check. &quot; He says, speaks to Grant. &quot;I suppose you'll want to know how your cats are doing?&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">Inquisitor Drechsler got rid of half of them with daily teleport spells *brick'd*

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">&quot;...Seems I will have to wait on that. Alas, but the battle has begun, must stay light on the wings, must keep in motion and action! But if I have to wait for the opportune moment, then very well...&quot;

Grant Warner:<font color="#000000">&quot;What the hell are you doing this close, do you want a face full of slag, idiot?!&quot; &gt;:|

Sheythsanthi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Nonsense. You are doing an admirable job of catching every last bit of it. Even the dwarf's beard is clean.&quot;

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

Grant Warner:<font color="#000000">Clang, hssssssh as the mace head is dunked in water... and then the smith pauses, slowly turning around. &quot;........... Sim?&quot;

Gamal-Junayd whispers: with the imminent time warps upcoming from all those minis people did...I have no clue whats supposed to be going on. or where people disapeared to

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">Suddenly an air bubble pops in the slag.

VAE:<font color="#000000">.... NO

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">Molten metal right in Shey eye.

VAE:<font color="#000000">NOT POROSITY

Grant Warner:<font color="#000000">GODDAMNIT SIM &gt;:| *brick'd*

VAE:<font color="#000000">THE KILLER OF QUALITY

VAE:<font color="#000000">FUCKING AIR BUBBLES

Sheythsanthi:<font color="#9933FF">He smirks, pushing his hat back a bit. &quot;I would be very happy to know if you know any other wood elven followers of the War Maiden.&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">It's moments like this that I love having engineers in the group. :B *brick'd*

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

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">Which reminds me.

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">Serrierr trails off, looking distant, before looking back at Tomiko. &quot;By the way, from looking at you, I have the sense that you possess some impressive power. Whatever mission you next undertake with the others, if possible, would you object to my company? I would love to see how a follower of the Brawler likes you fight, firsthand. Before we get around to all the sparring that I have been booked for with the others once this is all over!&quot;

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

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">Can Tom cast Regenerate?

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">No, not for a long time.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">It's too powerful.

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

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">*of the Brawler like you fights,


 * Grant Warner wipes a hand off on a nearby cloth, then offers it. &quot;Good to see you.&quot;

Grant Warner:<font color="#000000">... it's still probably got some soot on it but who cares, dirt's good for you. *brick'd*


 * Tomiko Lazarus brightens a little, although still slightly vexed. &quot;Oh. Uh, sure! Kind of just killin' time around here until I can be useful again anyways.&quot;

Sheythsanthi:<font color="#9933FF">He nods, smiling, shaking Grant's hand. &quot;Odd though I don't see a hoard of stray pets down here, Grant.&quot; He says.. and then sneakily wipes some of the soot on his hand off. ^^;;;

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hmm. Indeed. Well, I suppose there re other things I can do around here, in the meantime...some others I wanted to speak with, as well. Until later, Tomiko Lazarus!&quot; Serrierr turns and strides away (taking up initial mini position with Lyle)


 * Tomiko Lazarus offers a small wave. o_o;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Meanwhile!

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">It's common when confronted with an excited angel of your god for your slickness levels to fall to 1/10. *bricked*

Grant Warner:<font color="#000000">&quot;How are they?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt, after helping around the forge and lending his not-insignificant non-technogical crafting expertise to the others (+21 weaponsmithing, +23 Armorsmithing), Gnogglebolt wanders off elsewhere. A mystery needs to be solved.

Teeny Rin 4:<font color="#FF0000">The NPCs now have XCOM powersuits.

Sheythsanthi:<font color="#9933FF">He nods a bit. &quot;Still alive. I've been feeding them in your absence. However, with me gone, I'm afraid they'll have to fend for themselves.&quot;

Dorf Aias:<font color="#9933FF">But we don't have psionics in Akellon...

Grant Warner:<font color="#000000">Shit. That gnome's a better weaponsmith than me... and I have max ranks! What gives?! &gt;:|

VAE:<font color="#000000">If he's there now, means that Miron has to be at Roy

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">He finds the original Pelorite templar they met in the underground, the lady knight who was clad in the black cloak and steel mask. Coincidentally, she happens to be nearby.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">(Lemme guess, your profession is centered around more than just making things, isn't it, mister Warner? :U ...unless you're an Expert class... &gt;.&gt; )

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt sees the lady templar, and approaches. &quot;Ah...hello, miss.&quot;

Grant Warner:<font color="#000000">&quot;If all goes well, this'll be over in a few days, and they'll get a nice big meal then. Nobody's been... harming them, have they?&quot; &gt;:|

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;I was wondering...if you might indulge a few questions of mine?)

Grant Warner:<font color="#000000">Fighter 10, with an Int modifier of +2.

Pelorite Templar:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hm? Certainly! What can I help you with?&quot;

Sheythsanthi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;There's been a few minor cantrips tossed around so far.. I don't need to tell you how bad it is at the Mace. Ivar, Victor, those two are undeniably possessed.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;When we first encountered each other...you were wearing a black cloak, and a steel mask. From our correspondance with our allies from before we arrived her, we knew you were doing something to subvert the regime around here, smuggling supplies in and out of the city. What is all that about, if I may ask?&quot; And shall I roll Diplo, or Gather Info?...actually, have the same modifier for both, so it doesn't really matter. :B

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;I also noticed that a few of our own companions were given similar attire, so I was also wondering if there's any way I could help.&quot;

Grant Warner:<font color="#000000">&quot;That skunk Bloodmouse hasn't been using them for sport for his dog, has he? ... Hmph. Them and half the branch, most likely. You let the commander know you're alive yet?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;In a town under a tyranny like this, it seems those who can obfuscate their true nature and intentions on our side are very valued...&quot;

Sheythsanthi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Not yet. Where is old scary-eyes?&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Well then roll it. :B

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Oh, right. :B Roll! &#171; &#160;1d20+16 = 5 + 16 = 21&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">gnrrr. &gt;.&gt; Guess it's also relevant to ask how many attempts I have/how many people Gnogglebolt can talk to?

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">I asked that in IRC a few days ago, but it got lost. &gt;.&gt;

VAE:<font color="#000000">Igor!muse: I didn't have to.. .Nina helped herself alone &gt;:3

Pelorite Templar:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hmm? Oh, those. We had them laying around from a Tricksters' Feast pageant ages ago. ... What was it about? What do you mean? Is it that strange to see Pelorites serving the common good?&quot;


 * Tomiko Lazarus pockets her hands and leaves the forge-tunnels. For a criminal guerrilla, she's pretty.. open about her presence. She heads up to the fountain garden.

Tokens dropped onto map 'Yoriver - Temple of Pelor'Grant Warner:<font color="#000000">&quot;Up one level. Check the southern parts of the basement; we're in the southeastern quadrant. You'll find most everybody there.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt smiles. &quot;Trickster's Feast, hmm...well, no, it's certainly not strange to see Pelorites serving the common good. It is strange to see Pelorites obscuring their true intentions to the public, however. But that is why I am impressed! It is a very clever, very helpful ruse, and I do wonder if this temple would have even survived without this clever scheme. And the fact that it appears to have held up for several months without being compromised to the enemy suggests experience in such matters.&quot;

Grant Warner:<font color="#000000">&quot;It's damn good to see you alive. I gotta apologize to you, Sim.&quot;

Sheythsanthi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;For what?&quot;

Pelorite Templar:<font color="#000000">&quot;Well, the Shining One does offer his blessings to all sorts.&quot; :3

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;And so, I was wondering if there was any way I could help. We gnomes are known for exploring the concepts of truth and illusion. Perhaps more Kellonite gnomes than Mazian, but the tradition is still there.&quot;

Grant Warner:<font color="#000000">&quot;For doubting you. Thought you were one of the devil-spies for a long time.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">(no rolling twice for the same person, Lia? Or will any rerolls be allowed in the current convo?)

Frisk:<font color="#000000">A fox warily approaches Tomi.

Frisk:<font color="#000000">Sniffsniff? :.

Sheythsanthi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Ha. The moment I stop seeking the truth, you'll know I've been comprimised. Until then, I'm going to give these devils hell, if you pardon the pun.&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Roleplay in the place of rollplay.

Grant Warner:<font color="#000000">&quot;Good plan.&quot;


 * Tomiko Lazarus cracks her eyes and briefly interrupts her tough relaxing routine. &quot;...&quot; She peers down at Frisk.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">(you said I could roll the check, but you never said how many. :/ That's what I'm trying to find out. But eh, will still continue with conversation, though Gnogglebolt was the last speaker.)

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;...&quot; |T &quot;... ... ...&quot;

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot; D'aaawwww~ &quot; |D

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Nope instantly enchanted.

Grant Warner:<font color="#000000">&quot;Now get the hell outta here and report in so I can get back to arming the peasantry!&quot;

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">Did someone say arming the peasantry? *_*

Sheythsanthi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Right, right.&quot; Sheyth says with a chuckle, and heads up stairs.

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">CITIZEN SOLDIERS, HOLDING THE-- *smote*

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">(...it would be hilarious if Serrierr's hymn of that chorus when talking to Lyle echos through the forge right when Grant says that, actually. xD )

Sheythsanthi whispers: Then it occurs to be I don't have behavorial notes on Roy Stanford. Darnit. XD

VAE:<font color="#000000">Lia, Inquisitor Cyral has a friend Commissar Tomas Beije in the Cain novel i'm reading

Pelorite Templar:<font color="#000000">&quot;You're already helping, good Guardian... but if you're looking for something more specific to do, you might want to talk to one of the faction leaders here instead of me.&quot;

You whisper to Ghostwish: One moment.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hmm. Who is coordinating the steel-mask-bearers, then?&quot;

You whisper to Ghostwish: Here's the notes I gave you...

VAE:<font color="#000000">and once again ,tell me when it's time for Miron to go to talk to Gradia again for results and comm issues.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;There must be someone calling the shots and organizing these carefully planned smuggling runs and under-the-cover-of-darkness operations.&quot;

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot; Tiny friendly fooox ~&quot; |D She slides off the bench and kneels. Hand held out.

Teeny Rin:<font color="#FF0000">It's a predator trick. She's going to eat you! *bricked*

You whisper to Ghostwish: Let's start with the lieutenant, Roy Stanford. Much more martial than most lieutenants, and can usually be found on the hunt with other Macers. Very good at tracking down information and perps, hard to lie to, an expert hand-to-hand fighter. Devoted to the Mace's ideals; Sheyth would probably like him. A few notes from his token Sheyth would doubtlessly know; Roy's unarmed strikes deal 1d10 damage. He is almost more deadly without a weapon in his hands than he is with one. His experience is that you should never be unprepared for a brawl to break out, and thus has spent a great deal of time training himself to be ready even without a weapon at hand. He carries a frost flail, but is just as apt to go into combat with nothing but his hands and a pair of manacles. Roy's left eye is a prosthetic; he's had it enchanted to provide a continuous Detect Magic effect (CL 1, cost 1,000 GP). The original was lost in a fight with a swashbuckler, and he still harbors a particular dislike of rapier-fighters because of it. He can turn the enchantment off, but usually keeps it on when working. The faint glow adds to the intimidation factor.

You whisper to Ghostwish: And here's Sheyth's notes;

Sheythsanthi whispers: I has does. :3

You whisper to Ghostwish: Aha. x3

Sheythsanthi whispers: &quot;Roy Stanford. A man after my own heart. I don't doubt for a second why he left. The Leaden Mace is a joke now. Possessed? Never. Demons are likely to be terrified of that gaze of his, seeing how he uses it to such great effect.&quot;

Frisk:<font color="#000000">Wag wag. Sniffsniffsniff -- you smell like fiend blood and hellfire D:

Sheythsanthi:<font color="#9933FF">Soon, the Senior Inquisitor is seen walking into the main area. He spots Roy, and makes his way over. &quot;Roy Stanford. The man himself.&quot; He says simply.

Grant Warner:<font color="#000000">&quot; Who the hell is singing so loud, goddamn bards. &quot; Clang clang clang!

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">... Uhhhhhh &gt;.&gt; *rummage rummage* ... aaand jerky? *offer* |3

Frisk:<font color="#000000">Ooh. :9


 * Gamal-Junayd approaches the group with the olidammaran priest. &quot;So, Has the plans for the break out soldified any?&quot;

Frisk:<font color="#000000">... okay I think I can ignore the badsmell for that bribe. |D Nibblenibble!

Draugrim:<font color="#9933FF">And then, in the deepest bass you can imagine, I SMELL TREATS.

You whisper to VAE: Might as well send Miron off to report now.

Miron:<font color="#000000">And at that time, Inquisitor Steelsprocket is making his way over to Gradia.

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">=w=; Need a bath I guess.

Martin Sawyer:<font color="#000000">&quot;Somewhat, good Moscran. You are again...?&quot;

Glitch:<font color="#000000">(man, poor Lia is already pulled so many different directions...good thing the minis were offered and done, or this would be -nightmarish- for you, I'd bet. ^^; )

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Senior Analyst Thorngage... may I?&quot;

Glitch:<font color="#000000">HAVE THIS DANCE?? :U

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">I'm just trying to think og something instead of waiting for everyone else to gt done with stuff like normal

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">This seems like a good opportunity for me to ask mother Selaren about -- *MINKSLAP'D* =3=

Miron:<font color="#000000">*at fourth wall* &quot;Interrupt, you spider twat.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Gamal-Junayd of the Vigilant Guardians. I was one of those who went to rescue Sheythsanthi&quot;

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">Don't go too far. Once the Dragon Break temporal anomaly solidifies, Imma comin' for joo. :U


 * Roy Stanford watches the gnome go, then turns to the elf. He silently looks Sheythsanthi over, arms folded... then offers a hand. &quot;Senior Inquisitor Sheythsanthi. Thank the Cudgel, you're alive and unharmed.&quot;

Gradia Thorngage:<font color="#000000">&quot;May you what, inquisitor?&quot;

Martin Sawyer:<font color="#000000">&quot;Ah, yes. Successful, too, I see. Very good. Come take a seat if you like. We were taking a small break while Inquisitor Steelsprocket of Braxton Falls was interrogating his fellows.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Interrupt.. that is.. I have completed the interrogations to as great an extent as our Holy Patron has blessed me with means to do so, and I wish to report as things of grave nature were uncovered.&quot;

Sheythsanthi:<font color="#9933FF">He smiles, and shakes Roy's hand. &quot;I see you still have one good eye out for evil. The situation seems dire, however.&quot;

Pelorite Templar:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hmmm.... I guess that would be Mother Selaren, with some help from the Olidamarrans of course.&quot;

Gradia Thorngage:<font color="#000000">&quot;Report, then.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Ah, very well then. Thank you!&quot; The gnome wanders off.


 * Glitch scours map for Old High Preistess. :.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;So how much closer have the plans come along? Wouldn't want to leave anyone under the devils tender cares longer than we need to.&quot;

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

Malachite:<font color="#000000">''Hello there. So~ didja find any shinies or good food during your rescue mission?'' &gt;:3 The pseudodragon nudges at Gamal's wraps.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Actually hey Thomas why don't you come and talk with Mother Selaren at the same time so you vacate the room Serrierr was using during the second part of his mini :U

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">I know the feel of DM everywhere syndrome. Liatai's keyboard is probably smoking right now. :P

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">A nice coincidence to 'tie the timeline together' and keep from pulling Lia -two- more directions. :B


 * Viceth folds his hands into his robe sleeves. &quot;Much of it has been spent convincing the good lieutenant that certain people should be released.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">The Lazaruses catch up.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;First of all, the reports of Archivist Petersen and Acting Commander Stanford coincide within reason, and the loyalty of either was not found wanting. It even appears that despite the drowish criminal's assertions, Acting Commander Stanford has not cooperated with him to an extent that would make him accomplice to his crimes against, among others, our town. &quot;

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Mission was...successful, I take it?&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">1 second =w=;

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

Sheythsanthi:<font color="#9933FF">Sheyth's ears twitch a little. &quot;Released? Are the plans for a counter-attack against these devils already in the works?&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">is the dragon going any actual talking telepathic or otherwise, or is it just nudging the wraps?

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;However. The reports revealed&quot; The gnome makes a short pause, adjusting his glasses. &quot; that Charles Whitaker has indeed abandoned faith and reason, and has let himself fall into Hextorian heresy. Furthermore, he appears able to command and bind devils in his patron deity's name.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;A little rough around the edges, but, yes. Senior Inquisitor Sh..&quot; &gt;.&gt;;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">He sighs. &quot;..Well.. he's back here and down below safely.&quot; =w=;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;This was revealed by his own admission to Lieutenant Stanford when he was confronted with the contents of a hextorian shrine below the Yoriver Mace's barracks.&quot;

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;He who?&quot;

Roy Stanford:<font color="#000000">&quot;It does, at that. A little less with each soul brought under the temple roof.&quot; The lieutenant looks back toward the Olidamarrans, then to Sheythsanthi. &quot;On many fronts, yes. I would ask if you would like a moment to process events after what occurred, but I know your work ethic.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot; The detective guy whose name I keep forgetting.&quot;

Malachite:<font color="#000000">Telepathic speech.

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Ohhhhh Sheysthsantherwhatever.&quot;

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

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;The shrine was apparently constructed during a renovation of the Yoriver Mace barracks approximately 12 months ago, done by a cousin of his, some Hector Whitaker, currently resident in Count Montclaire's residence.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hmm. Well, good for that then, I suppose. Anyway, I've been helping the quartermasters in the lower levels forge weapons to arm people with.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">in draconic. &quot;We were focusing on getting through all his traps to save him, we didn't collect shineys or food, only journal notes that might of come in handy should he of been unfindable&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...I think I left them a little shocked, I don't think they've ever seen anyone, let alone a gnome, forge so fast.&quot; Gnogglebolt smirks.

Sheythsanthi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Quite. Does this make up our fine little rebellion. or are others here as well?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Further evidence for this was that the devil attempting to possess Archivist Petersen, when bound, revealed it has been bound by the Laws of Hextor into command of High Priest Charles Whitaker.&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus rubs his chin. &quot;... I pray it doesn't come to that. Militias can't fight fiends. Their otherwordly hides are too tough to break with steel.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Still. For the best.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;It's what they were doing, so I helped.&quot; Gnogglebolt shrugs. &quot;Anyway...I'm up here now investigating a little 'mystery' of sorts. I was going to ask the High Preistess about those masked people of theirs. Seems very interesting.&quot;

Roy Stanford:<font color="#000000">&quot;A number of our brothers and sisters are just beyond that wall. As for the rest...&quot;

Sheythsanthi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Also, I have been meaning to ask you, Lieu-.. well, I guess with all that has transpired, that makes you acting Commander, doesn't it? I cannot tell if our former leader is possessed or not.. but he has lied to me. That much I know.&quot;

Ball of Light 4:<font color="#000000">An archon zips downstairs. &quot; Oh no! Sorry I'm late! &quot; It flits over to Sheythsanthi.


 * Thomas Lazarus nods simply.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">focusing back to the olidmarran &quot;So, is there a set time frame on when we will make our move?&quot;

Ball of Light 4:<font color="#000000">&quot; Hello. Welcome. Are you well? How are you? &quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;It is likely then that whatever is left of the Yoriver Mace branch are men whose souls are saddled by those of the Nine Hells. I can attest to all of this to as great an extent as the insight Saint Cuthbert has granted me during the interrogation.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;She's right over there, so, I'll go take care of that...&quot;

Sheythsanthi:<font color="#9933FF">Why do I feel like someone is pointing a laser pointer in my ey- oh. &quot;Ah hello there, friend of the heavens. I am quite well, thank you, much better now that I am not in a home being rapidly invaded by hellish death squads.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;With this many disparate folks gathering under a roof in the city's defense, I hadn't really paid it much mind. I figured it was just a disguise.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;As such... I believe it is our duty to contact Commander Coisurn and relay these news as soon as possible.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt then slowly walks towards the elderly preistess, then bows reverently. &quot;Greetings again, High Preistess Selaren. Could I perhaps speak with you? I had a few idle questions, to satisfy a curiosity.&quot;

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">Relocating now.

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">Seeya in a bit.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Farewell and good luck, meaneh.


 * Tomiko Lazarus tries to coax a fox. Untrained Handle Animal. Come on, come on~ &#171; &#160;1d20+1 = 10 + 1 = 11&#160;  &#187; |D

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

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">... She's friendly. Still scary though. &gt;.&gt;;

Ball of Light 4:<font color="#000000">&quot; Is there anything I can get for you? Blanket? Something to drink? Food? Explanations? &quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;I have been told by Inquisitor Berilan that a large number of Leaden Mace officers are waiting on the outskirts of the town, not allowed to enter under a variety of pretexts... if we are to bring the rule of Law into this town, they must be alerted of what has come to pass, in order to be able to act with reason&quot;

Frisk:<font color="#000000">The fox approaches to within petting distance. Wag wag?

Luanne Selaren:<font color="#000000">The priestess smiles wearily to the gnome. &quot;Of course, friend. What did you wish to ask?&quot;

Sheythsanthi:<font color="#9933FF">The elf quirks an eyebrow. &quot;Well now, I might be curious as to what explainations you are offering.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;That would be the entirety of my findings so far, without going into needless detail.&quot;

Ball of Light 4:<font color="#000000">&quot; Where you are, if you don't know... where to go to find food and drink, or medical assistance, or... well, you seem unburdened by fiendish presence, so you're free to move about the area as you see fit. &quot;

Sheythsanthi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Ahhh, so you have been checking everyone for possession? Wonderful. And here I was getting into the rhythm of interrogating our good acting commander here.&quot; He says, offering a smirk to Roy.

Martin Sawyer:<font color="#000000">&quot;Twilight is the current aim. That allows those of us who were awake all night to rest and recover, and perhaps most importantly of all, allows us to see the beginnings of the outlines of the hellcats sure to be guarding the perimiter. We'll be holding a meeting to discuss the particulars in a few hours.&quot;

Teeny Rin 1:<font color="#000000">Will there be sparkly vampires? *brick'd*

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;I am investigating this fascinating mystery of the masked Pelorites and others. I will start by saying that this is a very clever scheme under the circumstances of oppression this city is under, by obscuring the true alliegence and goals of the cloaked ones. From what I have observed, it seems this has both been going on for at least a month in this town, and has done so without being revealed to the enemy, which to me suggests that this kind of thing has been done before. It's such a delightful thing to see in action, and I was wondering if you could tell me anything about it, and if there is any way I can further help. I know a few of our own companions were given the matching attire when guarding the tunnels...my stature is a bit short for that, though, so if I knew more about what was going on, I could help in other ways.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">And shall I roll? :B

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Or just go with that? :B

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hmm, good. Would be nice to be done with it earlier, but I understand the reasons. I guess you'd rather not repeat yourself, so I guess I'll have to wait till then for more information.&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Diplomacy, Mr. Wall-O-Text. :B

VAE:<font color="#000000">anything Gradia responds?

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Verah well. :B Diplomacy roll: &#171; &#160;1d20+16 = 19 + 16 = 35&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

 * Glitch jumps out of seat and dances! |D

Liatai:<font color="#000000">I completely missed the report. =w=; Lemme read up.

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

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Bad timing. :

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


 * Glitch holds up to give the Liapulledfourdifferentways time to keep up the other threads. -3-

Gradia Thorngage:<font color="#000000">&quot;... That is consistent with the results of my own interrogations. I agree. However, given the mixed company present, I believe Commander Coisun is not the only commander that should be made aware of these developments.&quot;

Gradia Thorngage:<font color="#000000">&quot;I will report to Commander Coisurn with these findings. Inquisitor, have you a Sending prepared today?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Indeed. Commander Ashmore should learn of these findings as well... and if you allow, I shall relay them to Jones's rock as well.&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus blows off his professional responsibilities in lieu of screwing around. |D *bricked*

Gradia Thorngage:<font color="#000000">&quot;Excellent. The more branches we can make aware of this heresy, the better.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;I .. I haven't been able to, as my magic was taken over by the needs of battle.. however, Archivist Petersen might have scrolls available.&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;Thomas. A word, please?&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus looks over. A request from Swallowtail? He gets up immediately. &quot;Of course.&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">What are you doing Swallowtail don't start another thread D: *brick'd*

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;I will ask him... he's truly a remarkable person. I can see why you were so reluctant to admit he has given to heresy and treason.&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">X3


 * Tomiko Lazarus waves.


 * Swallowtail gestures over toward the pews, away from the courtyard.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">lia; I was about to say! :B &quot;no lia don't what are you doing&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Hopefully this will be short and silly. :B


 * Thomas Lazarus folds his hands into his robe sleeves and smiles. &quot;What's on your mind?&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;What did you put in wine?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..Uhh..&quot; He {:3's.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">(wait what xD )

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;What do you mean? The Essagan three-berry?&quot; {|3c

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I just got it from Anise. Why?&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;You went upstairs with Edaric, then came downstairs and got wine, then went upstairs. And now... he is silly happy. What you put in? Do not worry, I will not tell.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Any further orders, Senior Analyst Thorngage?&quot;

Glitch:<font color="#000000">(oh gawd xD )

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;...?&quot; He goes a little wide-eyed and looks over.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Well, truth be told, I was going to notice that later when there was less GM attention congestion. BUT NOW THAT YOU MENTION IT &gt;:O


 * Edaric is playing on a bench in the courtyard, filling the air with a cheeful melody. He looks more relaxed and happy than he's been in a good month. :3 ! &#171; &#160;1d20+19 = 18 + 19 = 37&#160;  &#187;

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">(hey, that's a good point as any to consider Serrierr officially post-mini...)


 * Thomas Lazarus cracks a broad smile after a moment. &quot;..Just a good talk, helping him get over some problems that've been nipping at his heels for a while, I suppose. ..I'm relieved.&quot;

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">The splendid lutework draws otherworldly attention.

Teeny Rin 3:<font color="#FF0000">MOAR THREADS

VAE:<font color="#000000">Anything from Gradia?

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">OH NO :O

Gradia Thorngage:<font color="#000000">&quot;Carry on as before, inquisitor. And report to those commanders as soon as possible.&quot;

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">(actually no :B )

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">Serrierr just wanders into the garden, listening to Edaric's melodies, and takes rest somwhere on the grass, sitting down cross-legged.

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">...then he starts hovering off the ground, with eyes closed and wings softly fanning in tune with Edaric.


 * Thomas Lazarus snaps out of his reverie for a moment. &quot; There - it wasn't drugs, no.&quot; =w=;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Thank you, Senior Analyst.&quot; *snaps a textbook salute, not even in front of Ashmore did he try that hard*


 * Edaric is too far gone into the music to notice the giant angel.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Meanwhile, in limbo (just as a reminder, not a demand for immediate reply. ^^; )

Miron:<font color="#000000">And off the inquisitor goes to Lyle.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Although we did put away atleast three pints each.&quot; {|3c


 * Swallowtail looks suspiciously to Thomas. &quot;I already said I would not tell...&quot; =3= &quot;Would be good to slip to the gnomes. What was it? You can tell. I keep secrets well.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">*snrks, chokes on pistachio xD *

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Those who lay down corpses greet those who drag up hellspawn, Lyle.&quot; *grins*

Draugrim: <font color="#9933ff">(( need some saving, Thomas? :P ))


 * Thomas Lazarus laughs good-naturedly. &quot;I'm telling the truth! It was just ... well.&quot; He nudges her shoulder. &quot;Confidential priestly matters; getting to the roots of stress.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot; Unless Anise spiked it with something; in which case blame her, I don't know.&quot; =w=;

VAE:<font color="#000000">To the roots of stress? Use Mohr's circle!

VAE:<font color="#000000">Or diagonalise the stress matrix *brick'd*

Thomas Lazarus: <font color="#ff0000">(( Pff it's just a curious ninja, who needs saving from that. ))

Glitch:<font color="#000000">...speaking of stress. I just found this today...

Thomas Lazarus: <font color="#ff0000">(( OH NO ALL MY MONEY &gt;:O ))

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;....&quot; Swallowtail rubs her chin. &quot;I doubt. ... How you find the roots?&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">Tech, I hoped at least you'd find it amusing

VAE:<font color="#000000">didn't you do that sort of calculations yet?

Glitch:<font color="#000000">An old bill nye segment. :B http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PwM0_zPes2A

VAE:<font color="#000000">principal stresses and the stuff

Glitch:<font color="#000000">(actually, no, haven't done stress mathematics yet)


 * VAE le sigh


 * Lyle Petersen is writing in a notebook when Miron approaches. &quot;-- Ah, hello, back so soon?&quot;

Draugrim:<font color="#9933FF">Sniff sniff wuff. So. Gnogglebot. How often do you have a wolf the size of a horse inspecting your hair?


 * Thomas Lazarus chuckles. &quot;Honest. As for how ... well.&quot; He looks down briefly. &quot;A little observation and a lot of empathy for a long time, I suppose. Sometimes, just being an ear and offering your support is the best cure for when life's common troubles are getting you down.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..But any more than that, I'm afraid I cannot say. Priestly confidence is sacred.&quot; ^^

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yep... and I won't faff about. Say Lyle.. do you have two or three scrolls of Sending laying about somewhere? &quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">I've been sniffed by stranger. :B Gnogglebolt, in the middle of speaking with the High Priestess, looks up slightly wide-eyed at the giant animal, but deduces that it is friendly, and reaches up to give it some neckscritches while he turns back to Selaren. *limbo'd again*

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;If you wish, I can pay for them, or scribe down replacements once I got the time to...&quot;


 * Luanne Selaren smiles to Gnogglebolt. &quot;You are already helping, little maester -- oh, hello again, wolf. Where is your elven friend?&quot;

Lyle Petersen:<font color="#000000">&quot;Sending, Sending... perhaps. I'll need to look.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Besides it's not like I'm gonna be sending sloppy kisses to old girlfriends .. I spoke with your commander and now our own branch, and a few other people need to learn about what's going on here.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">(oh come on, the paragraph of RP and a thirty-five diplo result doesn't get me more than that? Didn't Sheyth get the info with a gather info roll of about the same, if not -the- same result? -3- )

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;Being... an ear?&quot; Swallowtail tugs on her own ear a bit, looking confused.

Luanne Selaren:<font color="#000000">The result doesn't need to come out in one chunk, little maester, patience.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">(oh, okay. &gt;.&gt; )

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;That said... I do intend to peruse your library at large when that particular duty is done.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">(Sorry. ^^; )

Firaira:<font color="#9933FF">Presently though, the high elf strides up, reigning the wolf back, and looking expectantly at Gnogglebolt with a level gaze.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I mean offering to listen to a person.&quot; ^^ &quot;To hear them out. Offer your support for their burdens.&quot;

Lyle Petersen:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh my, and we've only just met.&quot; The archivist chuckles, searching his pack. &quot;... Here we are... there's one... then two... three. I would like to keep one for emergency purposes, but you may certainly requisition the other two.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Confiding in someone you trust can sometimes help balm stress. Maybe even help solve the problem, sometimes.&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;I see...&quot; Swallowtail seems to be considering something. &gt;:.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt nods. &quot;Indeed...but for a good cause, I always try to look to help in as many ways as possible, and I'm sure there must be a fascinating story behind this...&quot; Gnogglebolt blinks and notices the elf staring at him. &quot;Uhm...hello...did you need something, (sir/miss)?&quot; (I can't remember which. -3- )

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;At the very least, you won't be all by yourself grappling with whatever issues are troubling you. And sometimes, that's enough, too.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Fine, fine. I'll get you new ones, or at least some tobacco. You should get yerself a pipe, it wastes less.&quot;

Firaira:<font color="#9933FF">Can't remember my gender!? WHY YOU LITTLE-*brick'd*

Teeny Rin 3:<font color="#FF0000">Her gender is elven.

Firaira:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Yes.&quot; She says simply. &quot;The elf of your group. Where is she?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Um...belowground, in the forge and meeting area, possibly. I last saw here there some minutes ago.&quot;

Lyle Petersen:<font color="#000000">&quot;Never was able to pick up the taste for it, I'm afraid. It's the ritual of the thing.&quot; |3

Firaira:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Thank you.&quot; She says flatly, and heads off, towards the forge area, giant wolf loping along behind her.


 * Swallowtail nods, looking serious. &quot;Thank you.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Getting them blind drunk also helps!&quot; ^^


 * Thomas Lazarus smirks. &quot;..You're welcome.&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hmmmm...&quot; Swallowtail nods, heading off. Ninja on a mission! :| !


 * Thomas Lazarus quietly wonders if he has set something good or tragic into motion.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">both

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Perhaps perhaps.. you should at least learn to light them up with yer fingers... that's what my uncle always did.&quot;

Glitch:<font color="#000000">(oh man if only Meany were here. I would say this might just be like Pema telling Korra how to deal with her relationship in Legend of Korra. Only he'll get why. xD )

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">It's what all the cool kids do.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;May Saint Cuthbert weigh your sacrifice and pay you back a thousand times, either way...&quot; *grabs the scrolls*


 * Thomas Lazarus wanders into the cellars.

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;Officer, I need something that can make one blind drunk, per cortesia. &quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">X3

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Oh geezus. xD


 * Anise Berilan raises an eyebrow. &quot;... Aren't you in your teens, chickie?&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">X3!

Miron:<font color="#000000">With that, the inquisitor walks off to the bedroom he's been occupying.

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;Is not for me.&quot; :| &quot;Is very important.&quot;

Glitch:<font color="#000000">(I don't think medieval times had underage drinking laws at all, actually...at least, for anyone older than prepubescent. &gt;.&gt; Maybe. I have no idea. I'm just guessing. :B )

VAE:<font color="#000000">Now, do I need to roll anything to cast from scrolls?

Glitch:<font color="#000000">(Meany would prolly be the go-to guy. :B )

VAE:<font color="#000000">I don't think either, Glitch

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Nah, they typically didn't.

VAE:<font color="#000000">after all, akellon is a setting on its own

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Water was frequently toxic, so, no.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">yeah, no age. in fact, seeing as water was usually not boiled..even kids drank alchohol over water

VAE:<font color="#000000">and there's precedent - the small dragon

VAE:<font color="#000000">Well, alcohol

VAE:<font color="#000000">there's difference between ale and the sort, and stiff drink

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Oh yeah, there was that. Pirates at least -had- to drink nothing but rum because water was infected and stagnant.

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

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Guess same applies for pre- Golden Age of Piracy, too.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Hey, speak of the devil. :B

VAE:<font color="#000000">Pirates did drink stuff besides rum, simply because rum is too strong to hydrate you.

VAE:<font color="#000000">But there was stuff like cabbage of course.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Oh, interesting.

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

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;Please. I pay. This is very important.&quot; :|

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

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">Why is Swallowtail obtaining hookers?

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

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Okay, that made me laugh out loud.


 * Glitch guffaws xD

VAE:<font color="#000000">You can go on beer wine etc just fine, but I don't think distillates that are strong enough to not get stale serve as good rehydratation fluids

Glitch:<font color="#000000">That's...actually not far off. xD

Glitch:<font color="#000000">She's trying to get hard alchohol. x3

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">sometimes the hookers want to be paid in hard booze

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Anyway. No, you don't need to roll anything to use a scroll if you can normally cast the spell.

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;I need two bottles. Please.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">No, brain. We will not train hookers as ninjas. We will not become the Sin City hyper-militant hooker downtown.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">BRAIN SETTLE DOWN.

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;I am saving the Guardians.&quot; &gt;:| !


 * Thomas Lazarus debates internally. On the one hand, Sheythsanthi and the Lieutenant Commander are occupied, and they'll surely resolve said business on their own. On the other hand, talking to Lyle now... would start another thread. =3=;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;It is my duty. Grazie.&quot; Anise gets a smattering of gold pieces handed to her quickly, and then she heads off toward the room Miron went into. Knock knock knock.

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">It's kind of nice to not be in the main plot anymore. |D *lounges*

Roy Stanford:<font color="#000000">I think it's safe to assume Sheythsanthi has reported in by now. Commander Scary Eyeball can be considered fairly free for RP, as well.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">(quick question. What would be an appropriate form of address to a high priestess? Your Holiness, Your Holy Personage, Your Eminence...what?)

I've sat through some 'uninteresting' things in my day, but you never know when information might be useful...and as I said, if I knew more about how they got their experience and what, precicely, they're doing, perhaps I could tailor help to it...but, if you wish not to say, I will not press you for it, Holy Mother. I was merely curious at the mystery.&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Because all Pelorites are adorable. *bricked*

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;What is it, Swallowtail?&quot;


 * Swallowtail enters the room and hands Miron a beer. :|

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;I ... thank you.. you didn't have to..&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">(gawd, Swallowtail's, like, uber-Gnogglebolt. As in, rushing to help without really knowing how or what the consequenses might be. xD )

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">Timeline wise?

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

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Meany; most of them, as far as I know.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">I feel a disturbance in the karma.

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;....&quot; Swallowtail blinks. &quot;... Yes, hairy sea is the worst. Would not feel good. Hard to swim, hard to stay afloat.&quot;


 * Glitch nearly chokes on a lolipop that time. xD I have got to put the candy away! This is becoming weapons-grade hilarity!

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Tragedy. |T

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">Sszeyl takes a deep breath, looking at the next canvas...and breathes out a cloud of steam.

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&#171; &#160;1d20+10+mod = 9 + 10 + 2 = 21&#160; <font color="#CC0066">&#187; Craft (painting) check!

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&#171; &#160;1d20+10+mod = 11 + 10 + 2 = 23&#160; <font color="#CC0066">&#187; Craft (painting) check!

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;True but we will have to do our best... or we shall sink like a sack of cats&quot;

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

You whisper to Meany: '''... Why do you care?'''

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;Like... cat sack, yes.&quot;

Grant Warner:<font color="#000000">... strange. I feel the urge to murder a gnome over a simile. *brick'd*

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Indeed. But we will stay afloat and reach the shores, with the aid of the Cudgel.&quot; *grabs the beer and takes a long draw.&quot;


 * Swallowtail watches Miron take a swig. &quot;... You feel less stress?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">............... Well ................. you did give him a beer. I give your priestliness a 'D'. =3=

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;I shall feel less stress when the heretic Whitaker will burn like the Veld he has betrayed once did.&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;... Whitaker is a hairy tick?&quot;

Sszeyl whispers: ''I care because you are close to me. Because I drew from you the same way I would draw from my previous selves. Since you are not one of my previous selves, I unconsciously recategorize you in the same level of importance as a parent. Furthermore, you are dead, you should be at rest in the afterlife of your choosing, not shackled to a shape that wouldn't even last long if you could control it fully.''

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;A heretic, Swallowtail. One who has abandoned faith and reason, and soiled the name of his holy office.&quot;

Luanne Selaren:<font color="#000000">&quot;... Perhaps later, little maester. This is a very open area to be discussing such things in.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...I understand. Thank you.&quot;

Sszeyl whispers: But you desire to stay, and if you can beat the odds and come out on top, then you deserve to live a second time.


 * Tomiko Lazarus has taken to an afternoon snooze on the garden bench.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt wanders off for more forging.

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;OH.&quot; &gt;:| Swallowtail nods. &quot;Then yes. He has betrayed his duty and his gods. I help.&quot;

Sszeyl whispers: ''That is why I pick at you, and your plans. You'll need to be in top form to overcome them by yourself, with the odds so stacked against you.''

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">MEANWHILE(where'd thomas go? :. )

You whisper to Meany: You are a very strange little mortal.

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

Sszeyl whispers: I try.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;When one day our deeds will be weighed by the holy Archons of Justice, your willingness to help won't be forgotten, Swallowtail. What's more, I will not forget. The man must stand bound before the Council of High Commanders, where his guilt will be measured.&quot;

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">When Edaric's music is finished, Serrierr alights on the ground again. &quot;That...was one of the most joyous tunes I have ever heard, Heartsinger. Something very good has just happened to you, and whatever it was, I am happy for you. Ahh, if only Thalaron could have heard that...&quot; He then wanders away downstairs.


 * Edaric jolts. &quot;-- Gah! Where did you -- stop doing that!&quot; XD


 * Thomas Lazarus hangs out with team Silverhead. *brick'd*

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;So he faces the justice of earth before the justice of heaven. I understand.&quot; Swallowtail nods solemnly.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Indeed. And for such as him, neither shall show mercy.&quot;

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">An otherwordly chortle echos after Edaric. Meanwhile, seeing who he's looking for, Serrierr approaches Thomas. &quot;Ah, Thomas Lazarus. Might we speak with each other? I would like to have a word with you.&quot;

Anise Berilan:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh hey. Tom, do you have any idea --&quot; And then Anise is interrupted by an angel. =3=

Miron:<font color="#000000">With a second draft, Miron finishes off the ale.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Oh. Very well.&quot; After being taken aside for no less than the fourth time this afternoon, Tom begins to feel popular. =3=c

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hmm? Oh, I'm sorry, did I interrupt?&quot;

Anise Berilan:<font color="#000000">&quot;Nah, nothing urgent. I'm just wondering why the Amayan chick just practically begged me for two beers.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">see what becoming bi has gotten tom?

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;It's fine. I'll be back before too long.&quot;

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

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">&quot;It is nothing of urgency, I shall wait. In fact, I still haven't swapped news with one of the Guiding Beacons yet...&quot; Serrierr then turns around and goes to the ball of light, which he starts having a spirited conversation in Celestial to.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..If I had to guess.. I would say for medicinal uses.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;She's not one for excess, so don't worry.&quot; =w=

Anise Berilan:<font color="#000000">&quot;... man, there's something wicked going around, then. Damn, I hope it doesn't infect everybody, I don't think I've got enough to go around.&quot; |3


 * Ansramil Hawkin just. Just raises an eyebrow.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Something like that.&quot; ^^

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">He walks off.

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">A rolled up canvas hits Tom's boot as he walks.

Ansramil Hawkin:<font color="#000000">The eyebrow rise was at Anise, just to clarify. :B

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


 * Swallowtail watches. &quot;... feel any better at all?&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus picks up the discarded canvas and examines. :.

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">Serrierr seems to finish his conversation witht the Lantern Archon and gives a goodbye gesture, and turns back to Thomas, noticing the sudden canvas-shoe-bump.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;The beer did help.. it always does.&quot;

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">&quot;...Is that from that artistic drow with the dragon-in-head problem?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">One of the refugee children must have drawn this. =3= *KNUCKLE'D*

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">A note peeks out of the side of the canvas: &quot;Pass this to her if you care to.&quot; ~Sszeyl.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Old wisdom from an older inquisitor.. if you can't find respite anywhere else, look at the bottom of a tankard. Doesn't stay there for long.. but it helps.&quot;

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


 * Thomas Lazarus stows conspiratorially.

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">&quot;...hmm. Anyway, shall we move out of this hallway so others may pass, Thomas Lazarus?&quot;


 * Swallowtail nods. &quot;Then I will get you more later.&quot; Determined! &gt;:|

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;You are a good girl, Swallowtail. If you weren't.. well, working for your country, I'd have recruited you a dozen times. You have already helped me, and the others a lot back at Thalinde.&quot;

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">Ohey this room doesn't look occupied at all just the ghost of some old orc...

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;If you please, I suppose.&quot; Tom uncertainly follows. Angel secrets..? A little more unsettling than the others.


 * Serrierr flicks like a flea

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">... Thomas... Now swallowtail believes that in order to make people better you have to get them drunk. YOU ARE A TERRIBLE PARENT.

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">Serrierr finds a comfortable spot on the stone ground to sit down-cross-legged on, bring him right to eye level with Thomas.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Look, that isn't even untrue. *BRICK'D*

Liatai:<font color="#000000">He probably needs to move a bed.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;What's on your mind, Serrierr?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">The painting depicts Tomiko, towering and terrible. Flames dancing around her, casting a shadow on her face, leaving only two gleaming red dots to indicate facial structures aside from a positively -wolfish- grin. The background is littered with bodies, crushed and burnt, with broken weapons of every stripe dotting the field. Tomiko is at the time of the painting, reaching out toward the viewer, her hand covered in fire yet close enough to perfectly see the details of the limb. Black blobs at the sides of the painting blur some of the painting, until the viewer realizes they are a pair of hands, splayed out trying to ward Her off.

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">(well, tokens actually do take up more real space as the creatures that are represented by them do... &gt;.&gt; )

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">Anyway, once Serrierr is settled in...

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">Around her shoulders is a massive arrow with a silk ribbon as a shaft. On the back is the title: &quot;The First Horseman.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;This is a hard time... that needs harder people. Like the best of steel, hammered a thousand times, and rolling in shit for a hundred times before.&quot;

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">10/10 Would commission from again. *3*

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">There's a pause for a moment, then he speaks. &quot;I feel we've gotten off to a bad start, considering you put out your call for aid and I answered it.&quot;


 * Swallowtail nods.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Pre-nom for a portrait of Tomi-satisfaction seal of approval.

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">&quot;I hope to repair this.&quot;

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

Glitch:<font color="#000000">(o shit noms. *opens up txt file*


 * Thomas Lazarus folds his arms and sighs heavily.

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

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;I have more duty to do before mission tonight. You wish an ear and drink again, you say, yes?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..It's not really all your fault. I haven't exactly been in my best for the past few days.&quot; He frowns.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Thank you, I will. I have more duty myself. I have to report back to my folks.. there's many of them waiting outside the town, deceived.&quot;

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">&quot;Nevertheless, as I have reconciled with Lyle Petersen by offering apology and explanation, so too do I offer the same to you.&quot;

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">&quot;I believe the first thing you may have disliked of me was upon my arrival, incidentally what I reconciled with Lyle over; my actions to him?&quot;

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Funny, the contrast she can strike between that incredible battle performance, and now. Splayed over the bench in the garden like a homeless person. |D~

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;I was deceived too.. we all were&quot;

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">&quot;You disapproved of that.&quot; Serrierr states simply.


 * Thomas Lazarus closes his eyes and frowns. &quot;..Yes.. well.. it is generally not a.. common practice to greet and question someone by hoisting them aloft by their neck.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;But yes, I won't keep you from your duties any longer. Go forth with Saint Cuthbert's blessings, in his holy name.&quot;


 * Swallowtail bows with a serious expression. &quot;I know. Now we all know, we work together to cut out rotten roots, s&#236;?&quot;

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hence...why it was amusing.&quot; Serrierr grins...sheepishly? &quot;I have already apologized to Lyle for this, but to offer explanation, in truth, he was never in any real danger.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;And we do. We shall cut them with the blade of holy wrath.&quot;

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">&quot;I can no, will not kill humans without cause enough. And what is considered cause enough is very high.&quot;


 * Swallowtail bows once more, then departs. As soon as the door's closed she trots off in search of the other gnome. Mission! &gt;:| !

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">&quot;Truthfully, as I said to him, I only did what I did because I thought it was fun to scare him.&quot; Serrierr smirks slightly.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">OH NO RUBBER BAND IS ON THE OTHER CLAW NOW

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Don't worry I've DM'd though maptool in the past I'm good. |3

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;Gnogglebolt. I speak with you?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt is in the forge, not so much 'helping' the other as...well...telling them how to do better and giving them advice from a true mastercraftsgnome. :B

Miron:<font color="#000000">''I wish she could join us one day. She barely speaks common... but within her soul understands more than many others do. ''

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Well, I should hope not.. but..&quot; Lecturing index finger bobs in the air. &quot;..it's still a terribly disrespectful thing to try. He's risking his life to help us. I'm sure no one else was pleased by him being terrorized. Himself the least of all.&quot; |T

Miron:<font color="#000000">Ah well, duty calls.

Grant Warner:<font color="#000000">He's earning a heck of a lot of grumbles from a one-legged smith for his effort. &gt;:\

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt looks up. &quot;Hmm? Oh, hellow Swallowtail. Um...sure?&quot; Gnogglebolt steps aside.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Also ''PUT A SHIRT ON. *shot*''

Miron:<font color="#000000">And Miron sends a second message, to Analyst Elizabeth Feldmann of Jones's Rock '''Swillbucket sending. In Yoriver, clusterfuck. Their letter bullshit, interrogate d Stanford myself.Whitaker sucks Hextor's six dicks. Yorivers possessed. Macers waiting MUST get in. Tell Commander,everyone.'''


 * Swallowtail leads the way to the meeting room. Once there, she gestures for Gnogglebolt to sit, and waits until he's seated to sit herself.

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">&quot;I still dislike the way in which he helps us, but as long as no innocent bystanders are harmed, I tolerate it for now. Why, I'm even approaching friends with him, after speaking with him. I've directed him towards calling a loremaster friend of mine from Elysium, and I even contributed material for the books and archives he is writing.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt follows Swallowtail, wondering what the heck this is all about. He takes a seat after she does.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Hmm.. well. I guess that's good to hear.&quot;


 * Swallowtail hands Gnogglebolt a beer. :|

VAE:<font color="#000000">Heh. One of the reasons for wasting words on that phrase.. he's making sure the message would be recognised as his ,rather than a spoof. Not many use Miron's turns of phrase, but she's used to them.

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">&quot;...Speaking of which. I recommend you go ask him to retell what I told him. It should be valuable to a holy vessel such as yourself.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt looks at the bottle, takes a sniff of it--then winces, and smiles politely as he pushes it away. &quot;Ah...this is very nice, Swallowtail, but I am sorry, I don't drink alcohol.&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">D8 !

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


 * Swallowtail looks like Gnogglebolt just slapped her. MISSION FAILURE?! D8

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Those of you who paid attention at charQs knew this was coming. :B

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt immediately feels all the guilt.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Heh. I didn't think ale would count

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;When time provides opportunity. For the time being, I'm rather anxiously awaiting s-- (sigh) ah, the inquisitor we rescued and the Lieutenant Commander to finish their conference. We could stand to get together for a new meeting. I had some questions about things I've learned, at any rate.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">Like, he might not drink stiff drinks, but who doesn't drink ale.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..But it can wait a few hours.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Wh..wha...I, er, Swallwtail, no, I don't mean...what's wrong?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">''Oh well, that's done. Now to see if anyone shall respond.''

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Poor Swallowtail! X3

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">&quot;Anyway...the second thing you seemed to disapprove of, seemingly related to the first. Those two hextorian humans we encountered?&quot;

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">&quot;You seemed very upset about that one as well.&quot;

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">&quot;For, I would guess, much the same reason as you were to my actions towards Lyle Petersen.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">The inquisitor walks out, once again towards Gradia.

Elizabeth Feldman:<font color="#000000">Sending reply - &quot;Swillbucket -- POSSESSED?! You bet your boots I'll tell everyone! Keep your head down, Swillbucket, help's on the way! Sleep warded! They possess sleeping folks easier!&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Senior Analyst Thorngage, I report that I have notified both the branches of Castleton and Jones's Rock of our findings.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">*grins with an absent-minded look* &quot;And I have received an acknowledging response from Jones's Rock&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus drums fingers along an arm and sighs through his nose. &quot;..Well.. ... ..it probably would have turned out that way in the end. I know. And now that I know they had some specific warrant for my arrest, I'm sure it would've been unlikely I could've leveraged my authority or the authority of my mission to make them back down and cooperate.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I suspected that from the moment I walked up to them.&quot;

VAE whispers: BTW you got Feldmann pretty much spot on to what I thought up.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..But I never, at any point, knew that to be a truth.&quot;

VAE whispers: Given the little material, a good feat. *lynx bow*

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hmm, I see. Still, for my own actions, I can only offer this explanation. While I did...deal with them physically, I hardly could have killed them, either. Not even for bearing the symbol of the Scourge of Hell. I will tell you a small secret, Thomas Lazarus.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I am not in the habit of looking at the aura of an ordinary human being, or the trappings they wear, and judging them based on their lot in life alone for whether they deserve to be beaten down and arrested without a word, or whether I try to cooperate with them.&quot; &gt;:|

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">&quot;In my long, long life, I have slain hundreds of lesser fiends, and scores of middling ones.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">anything Gradia says in response?

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">&quot;In all of my existence, I have only slain two--exactly two--mortals.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Well, I'm glad to hear that. But I never thought that their lives were in jeopardy.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">heh, given that a score is 60, he keeps to bigger targets

Alberic Ashmore:<font color="#000000">Sending reply - &quot;Steelsprocket...? ... Sending recieved. Possession has been suspected for some time. Use caution. Pass on warning to Inquisitors Lazarus and Berilan if you have met.&quot;

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">&quot;Both were significant conduits of Dark power.&quot;

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">&quot;That said.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;And Commander Ashmore has replied too.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Any further orders?&quot;


 * Ghostwish finally looks up. OMG PEOPLE.

Teeny Rin:<font color="#FF0000">UNLIMITED PRIVATE MEETINGS.

Gradia Thorngage:<font color="#000000">&quot;... Then, we wait. Until the strategy conference. Rest for now, inquisitor.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd whispers: no ashojre wondering why the inquisitor sent to braxton is now in yoriver and reportinh instead of thomas who was sent to yoriver? heh

Firaira:<font color="#9933FF">So I'm sure Gnogglebolt has elven, right?


 * Tomiko Lazarus snores lightly. Zzz~ |D~

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Thank you, Senior Analyst Thorngage.&quot;

You whisper to Railock: One moment... ;3

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">(Not yet, actually. He needs another level or two.)

Miron:<font color="#000000">And another precise salute, and the inquisitor departs, this time to Anise.

Firaira:<font color="#9933FF">ALL OF THE WHATS.

Firaira:<font color="#9933FF">Swallowtail??? ^^;;;

Teeny Rin:<font color="#FF0000">What do you think?

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">yeah. thomas taught her to get people drunk if she wants em in a better mood

Firaira:<font color="#9933FF">Well what I think is *gibbs slaps teeny rin through a wall*

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hey Anise! Ashmore said I should warn you against the dangers that lurk in Yoriver

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

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">&quot;I do have the power and the skill to choose between fatal and nonfatal force, and I always use such discretion when dealing with mortals, which is what I did with those two humans. I could not have killed them, but they were obstacles in our path. They were our enemy at the time. And as I said before, this is a war. It is rarely so fortunate that one even has the ability to make such considerations of nonfatal incapacitation in battle.&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus points and frowns. &quot;--That's an assumption.&quot; &gt;:|

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">&quot;I left no lasting injuries on them. No broken bones or disfiguring, and we left them where they were. They should be waking up now, I think.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;They weren't our enemies yet. We didn't know.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;They were regular guards. Probably our enemies. But we didn't know. They might not've even known about Montclaire's plot at all.&quot;

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">&quot;They will have a migrain for the rest of the day, and then nothing. Would you try to argue that you mortals are so delicate that you can't deal with a headache for a day? I know you're tougher than that.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I could have just asked them to let me in. I'm an officer.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;We didn't have to resort to violence.&quot;

Alberic Ashmore:<font color="#000000">The Castleton commander's voice snaps out of the air around Thomas - &quot;Inquisitor Lazarus. Inquisitor Steelsprocket sent word of possession and heresy in Yoriver. Presence of Steelsprocket, fiends confirmed? Heresy within commanding ranks? Report immediately if possible.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">anything Anise replies? (just checking you noticed Miron's line)

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">&quot;A couple headaches is a fair trade for the expeditious removal of an obstacle, I would think. That said, I honestly didn't even intend to engage until their true alliegence had been revealed anyway, just as you say.&quot;

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">&quot;...I just didn't hide myself well enough. I made an error.&quot;

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">&quot;I was seen, and so I had no choice but to take immediate action.&quot;

Anise Berilan:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hah.. message recieved, brother. You spoke to Ashmore?&quot;

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">Tom has been taking a dump on duty

Firaira:<font color="#9933FF">Does swallowtail speak elven by some strange stretch? ^^;;

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">Serrierr blinks.

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">&quot;You are being contacted. I will wait.&quot;

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">MEANWHILE


 * Thomas Lazarus sighs and rubs his brow. &quot;..They still might've just been regular guards.&quot; He is interrupted by a sending, and looks up.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Was swallowtail ever going to say anything? :B

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;.... No, it will only make it harder to find the roots.&quot; &gt;:.

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;What...roots are you looking for?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yep.. got a sending off there, and to some old friends over at Jones's Rock. In a day or two, the folk doing like a hen all around Yoriver should be getting itchy to come in, and the bullshit about an emergency won't stand anymore. We should just pick a time to lead them in rather than force them to make a breakthrough.&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;My mission is the same!&quot; Swallowtal lays her hands on the table and looks seriously at the gnome. &quot;Gnogglebolt. I am an ear.&quot; &gt;:|

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">The elves had been conversing in elven, the high elf being rather serious and Tathi seeming quite.. giddy? But she paused, and swung her gaze across the table. &quot;Wait, what is going on here..?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">There are so many things wrong with this conversation.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;That said, when this mess is done, I should take you down south alongside... I think you and our folk I recall from there would get along well.&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Gnogglebolt just got offered a drink and now Swallowtail is.. an ear?&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">going afk to get dinner

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt covers his mouth and huffs slightly. Someone other than swallowtail would notice he's holding back a snort or a laugh. &quot;Ah...I see. Ah-heh. Um. Thank you, swallowtail? You mean to say, if I need someone to talk to, you are willing to listen?&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">it's one of the less obvious turns of phrase.

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;I need to be an ear to find the roots.&quot; Swallowtail looks flatly at the elves across the table. &quot;Thomas said so.&quot; &gt;:|

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Tom sighs and concentrates on the sending for a moment. In response, &quot;..An intense mission. Yes, Baatezu everywhere. Exorcised one official. Expect more. Cooperating with remaining Mace forces. Lieutenant Roy Stanford, amongst others. Scry soon.&quot;


 * Swallowtail looks back to Gnogglebolt. &quot;-- Yes! I will help you find the roots, lower stress, feel better, less fighting, work together, yes?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt pinches his nose and closes his eyes. His shoulders tremble slightly, then he snaps his face up. &quot;Well!&quot; Gnogglebolt reaches out and clasps Swallowtail's shoulder with a hand. &quot;Swallowtail, I can honestly say, if I need someone to talk to, I will think of you.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">Tathi's nose scrunches up a little as she tries to process that.. &quot;Hold on.. ears.. roots.. is this some funny common saying?&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">Yes! I will help you find the roots, lower stress, feel better, less fighting, work together, yes

VAE:<font color="#000000">this sounds liek very cheesy song lyrics

Aelian:<font color="#9933FF">&#171; &#160;1d20+3 = 11 + 3 = 14&#160; <font color="#9933FF">&#187; This is like dorf translation over here..

VAE:<font color="#000000">Nomming her for that preemptively

Aelian:<font color="#9933FF">Aelian blinks a moment.. and then cracks up laughing. &quot;I think, what she means, is she's willing to listen to get to the source of the problem.&quot;

Gnogglebolt whispers: I forgot, but has it ever been shown IC that Swallowtail doesn't know draconic? Or does she?


 * Swallowtail points at Aelian and nods rapidly!

VAE:<font color="#000000">also, Anise? :3 This is one of the somewhat important things... they will need to get the other macers into town when possible

You whisper to Glitch: She doesn't speak it.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">With the remainder of the Sending dismissed, Tom nods to himself.

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;OH. Lords and Ladies, Swallowtail, who explained that to you?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot; Sorry about that.&quot;

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

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Spells have been too scarce for reporting.&quot;

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">&quot;Ah. I know that all too well.&quot;

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">&quot;...brings back some very bad memories, that....&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">It's kind of funny, actually.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Considering all the heaps and piles of shit in Tom's mind the past few days.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Then oh shit I forgot to call Ashmore.

Anise Berilan:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hell yeah. Let's bring it up at the strategy meeting! We'll drag those sticks in the mud in by their ears. ... Yeeeeah, that's right, you worked up here for a long time, didn't you?&quot;

Anise Berilan:<font color="#000000">&quot;You know any good taverns...?&quot; |3

Anise Berilan:<font color="#000000">&quot;I bet you know all the hotspots.&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus rubs one side of his face. &quot;..Anyways..&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I guess no real lasting harm was done, like you said. So let's not dwell on it I guess.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt turns his head slightly to Tathi, and switches to Draconic, which he knows Swallowtail doesn't speak. &quot;(Shut up you two, don't make fun. She's really trying.)&quot;

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">&quot;Indeed. Still, I will offer to attempt to respect your wishes and refrain from engaging any further mortals unless they engage first.&quot;


 * Swallowtail nods to Gnogglebolt, determined. &quot;Yes. You come, please, soon. We will dig out the bad roots, even without drinking blindness.&quot; :| !

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;It's just...&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hah, it's been ages but my feet walked all over the bloody Veld, and no fucking devil will lay its sulphurous claw on it. And taverns? I don't know any good ones, but all the cheap ones&quot; *grins*


 * Thomas Lazarus clenches jaw and tries to think of how to explain.

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">&quot;Though, if another situation arises where I am spotted and immediate action is required, I will do what is necessary, but no more than is necessary.&quot;

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">&quot;Is that acceptable?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Come...where, exactly?' Gnogglebolt says, turning back to Swallowtail.

Anise Berilan:<font color="#000000">&quot;Any port in a storm. Heh, port... should've picked some up if I knew everyone was going to want booze.&quot; |3

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;Come speak with me.&quot; =w=;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;I...am speaking with you, unless you want to speak somewhere else again?&quot;


 * Swallowtail throws up her hands. &gt;:O ! &quot;COMMON!&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Not a day passes, nor sun shines Without stiff spirits, ales and wines&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;... I guess the simplest explanation I can offer is that Yoriver has a reputation. That in the best of times, rough men would be the ones upholding the legitimate law of the land. Cooperating with legitimate caretakers of the city is important, you know? ... I knew it was a long shot, but, I just wanted to entertain the chance that they weren't in on the infernal conspiracy already.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;You of all should bloody well know that.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt switches to Auran. &quot;(Perhaps speaking like this would be better? What are you trying to say, Swallowtail?)&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus folds his arms and sighs. &quot;You'll probably never accept that an evil man wearing that insignia could've passed as 'innocent.'&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;But they could've been.&quot;

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">&quot;Well, even so, they still saw me and were about to raise an alarm.&quot;

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">&quot;That's truthfully the only reason I engaged when I did.&quot;


 * Swallowtail points at Gnogglebolt and switches to Auran. &quot;(When you want to talk, come see me, and I will listen! Thomas says talking to people lowers stress, and you are very stressed. Even without the help of drink, I will help you. Does that make sense now?)&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;They've been fed ignorant lies and propaganda regarding what you and devils are.&quot;

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">&quot;Even though I saw the symbol they bore, I was intending to let them pass if you could do so.&quot;:

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;But it's moot.&quot;

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">&quot;It was merely an error on my positioning on the rooftop that gave me away.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Let's all just.. do the best we can, wherever we can, until things are solved.&quot; =3=;

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">&quot;And I do understand that, better than you think perhaps. As I just said, I would have let them go. Just bearing the badge of an enemy isn't enough to provoke me to action.&quot;

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">&quot;And I do understand that, better than you think perhaps. As I just said, I would have let them go. Just bearing the badge of an enemy isn't enough to provoke me to action.&quot;

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

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">we so believe that


 * Thomas Lazarus waves a hand in the air. &quot;Well, it doesn't matter now.&quot;


 * Swallowtail slumps. &quot;... (please say yes, it worked with Miron, I do not like to see all this fighting. We are weaker divided.)&quot;

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">Believe what you want, gnome-who-still-thinks-the-paladin-is-evil. :P

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Because our enemies, infernal and law enforcement alike, are going to try to apprehend us on sight from here on out.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">A paladin of freedom makes as much sense as a whore of chastity.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt nods. &quot;(Yes, Swallowtail, as I said. If I need someone to talk to about a problem, I will think about you and go to you. I thank you for the offer.)&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Swallowtail?&quot; Tathi asks.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">paladins of freedom make plenty of sense. a champion of ideals, doing good no matter what, screw the restrictions laws put on people, as often they seek to benifit who's in power, not the common good

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">If you haven't noticed, Miron doesn't see anything in a lens of good or evil. He freely traffics with infernal powers and vrock-summoners. To him there is only law or heresy. =3=

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;(We need to be as strong as we can be for the people of Yoriver. Not weakened from within.)&quot; Swallowtail looks across the table. &quot;Tathi?&quot;

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">&quot;And that, I will say, will probably require 'necessary action'.&quot;

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">&quot;But at your behest, I will keep that to an absolute minimum where mortals are concerned.&quot;

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">&quot;Is that acceptable?&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;If you ever come across a phrase in common that seems strange to you, don't hesitate to ask me for a translation. I know how strange and odd this human tongue can be. I didn't learn it until I was about seventy years old.&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;...&quot; =w=; &quot; It did not seem strange when Thomas explained.. and Miron understood... &quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus sighs again. &quot;It's fine.. like I said.. it won't even matter again. Well. Probably. It was just the principle of the thing that got under my skin, and I was under a whole lot of stress, and I'm just... a little weary of trying to wrangle people with really disparate, contrary ideas into working in some sense of harmony.&quot;

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hmm. You take many burdens upon yourself, Thomas Lazarus.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot; I'm going to take an extended leave from adventuring of any sort once this dragon business is taken care of.&quot; He rubs his brow.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Either way.. I should probably speak to the inquisitor we have pulled out of that Laduguer's arse of a cellar. Though.. anything you've learned speaking to.... What's your name again, Inquisitor?&quot; ^_^;

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">Serrierr nods. &quot;From what I've seen, you probably deserve it.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Shall we rejoin the others, then?&quot;

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">&quot;So, can we proceed without the threats to revoke my calling contract?&quot; Serrierr lets a grin tug at the corner of his mouth.

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">&quot;I haven't been on this plane in two centuries, I haven't had this much fun in years.&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus sighs guiltily. &quot;Yes.. of course. I would've never done that. I spoke rashly. I am sorry.&quot;

Ansramil Hawkin:<font color="#000000">&quot;Me?&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">Tathi smirks slightly. &quot;Well, consider the things that Miron understands, and the things that he does not understand.&quot;

Ansramil Hawkin:<font color="#000000">&quot;Ansramil Hawkin, brother. And you?&quot;

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">&quot;A good fight, for the good of people, against the tyranny of the enemy. It has been quite some time. I almost thought I was getting out of practice.&quot;

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">Serrierr stands up.

VAE:<font color="#000000">any word from Anise or Ansramil?

VAE:<font color="#000000">See posts above

Liatai:<font color="#000000">:17 lagcheck?

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">&quot;And I do ask you to please speak with Lyle and get his record of my words to him whenever you can. I'd repeat it, but...I had some real righteous fire going on, and I'm not feeling the proper mood at this moment.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">Miron: &quot;Not a day passes, nor sun shines Without stiff spirits, ales and wines&quot; Miron: &quot;You of all should bloody well know that.&quot; and then the one above


 * Thomas Lazarus nods hesitantly.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Miron Steelsprocket, honoured.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">:16

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

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">&quot;The next operation still isn't due to start for another few hours, from what I understand, the ones in charge are still organizing and preparing for a meeting. You have time now, if you so choose. But of course, it is your choice.&quot;


 * Anise Berilan chuckles. &quot;You know, the Castleton branch is suffering from a terrible rhyme shortage without you, Miron.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">Drow on the move!

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">8:00 PM.

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">Tathi smiles to Swallowtail, and goes back to talking to Firaira for a bit.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Nothing done.

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">X3

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">Serrierr waits for Thomas to exit the room.

Firaira:<font color="#9933FF">After a bit more talking, the high elf nods, and departs. The wolf lingers for a moment more, and then stalks outside..

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">Sszeyl's movement seem...really -stiff-. =3=;;

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">Serrierr heads back up top.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Braxton needs its rhymes too, Anise, and they don't have as much ale to make it up.&quot;


 * Edaric is still playing in the garden. &#171; &#160;1d20+19 = 17 + 19 = 36&#160;  &#187; -- pause. Wait. &gt;.&gt; &#171;  &#160;1d20 = 7&#160;  &#187; Spot check. *brick'd*

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">Taking ten on some cooking.

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">The sick people in the infirmary are, again, treated to a genuine celestial humbly tending to their wounds and ills.

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">with a +18 heal modifier.

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&#171; &#160;10+5 = 10 + 5 = 15&#160; <font color="#CC0066">&#187; Some passable food for hungry people.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Anyway, where did I leave off here...

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">Tathi waits until the other elf is out of earshot (so it's a bit of a wait) and then.. She bursts into excited giggling.

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;...... what?&quot; =3=;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">The drow appears in the courtyard, sees that there are a surprising number of people about, then turns back to the inside of the building.

Aelian:<font color="#9933FF">Aelian just smirks. &quot;Well, isn't that a turn of events? You handled it nicely, I thought.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Either way...See ya at the meeting, I guess.&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;What happened? Was not that funny. &quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Still in Auran; &quot;(So...um...was there anything else you wanted, Swallowtail?)&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">Sheythshanti still speaking with Roy?

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;AreyoukiddingIthoughtshewasgoingtosicthatwolfonmeholyarcaneIcan'tbelievethisIhavetogotellDad!!!!&quot; And off like she just cast wind walk.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Nope, I'm positive Sheyth's report is finished.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;(And I'm sorry about refusing the drink gift, but I really can't have my mind dulled by spirits...)&quot;

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;AreyoukiddingIthoughtshewasgoingtosicthatwolfonme holyarcaneIcan'tbelievethisIhavetogotell Dad!!!!&quot; And off like she just cast wind walk.

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">You're just now learning this.

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">still ugly. Oh well.

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;(.... It is fine. Keep it, perhaps you can be an ear to someone else with it.)&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Senior Inquisitor Simtheirzairvin, do you have a while?&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;(Now, I am going to see where Tathi went.)&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;(If there's nothing else, I also have work to return to...ah, very well. I guess you never can know when a bottle of flammable accelerant can come in handy...)&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;Not burn! Gift! GIFT!&quot; DX

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt heads back to the forge. Forgeforgeforgehelpadvice!

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt chuckles as he walks away. &quot;(Just kidding, just kidding!)&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">You burn incense, though.. =3=c

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">But seriously if I ever need a (medieval word for molotove cocktail)...

VAE:<font color="#000000">Who would?

Viceth:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hmm, awfully crowded in this corner all of a sudden.&quot;


 * VAE can't think of very many folks.

Sheythsanthi:<font color="#9933FF">Sheyth turns around, and smiles. &quot;Ah hello Inquisitor Steelsprocket. Something on your mind?&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">Good lord Tathi's going a mile a second in elven.

Jay Sawyer:<font color="#000000">&quot;Well, then, I'll make some room!&quot;

Glitch:<font color="#000000">I think I'm all RP'd out! Got nothing else in mind for Serrierr or Gnogglebolt, other than wanting to see Thomas talk to Lyle and see Lyle's recount of Serrierr's lecture in his own words. :B Though, wasn't Gnogglebolt supposed to get a special order or something?

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">It's a wonder her father can keep up. ^^;;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Thomas isn't going to talk to Lyle today.

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

You whisper to Ghostwish: Okay. Gimme the gist? :P

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Oh well.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;There is a couple things, asides from plain honorifics to someone who described Inquisitor Cyral as a peasant's horse's concubine.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Are you kidding we'll never get through this sporadic circular ass-chasing unless we stop meeting random NPCs and timeskip into some central purpose everyone can get into.

Martin Sawyer:<font color="#000000">&quot;I think I'm going to look for that Mazian fellow. I hear they make wonderful explosives.&quot; |3

Martin Sawyer:<font color="#000000">&quot;Pardon me, good gnome. A word?&quot;

Tathi whispers: Okay, hold on.. Something about.. SEEDS? Nobles? Right, Refuge, caught that. Noble from the refuge? Okay now she's going on about armies!? Tell that silly git to slow down. XD

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">back with dinner done

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Temptation to disregard own advice and go talk to Ed rising. =3= *brick'd*

VAE:<font color="#000000"> DOOO EEET

Sheythsanthi:<font color="#9933FF">He snorts a laugh. &quot;Ah, caught that bit, did you? Well, it means, quite simply, that he has no backbone of his own whatsoever, and I am -certain- that by his character alone, he is possessed. Was there anything else concerning that matter?&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000"> *holds up a flag cheering Tom*


 * Thomas Lazarus heads back to the ground floor. No meeting call yet.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hmm?&quot; Gnogglebolt looks up as he's called away again, makes sure the forge is set, and wanders off.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Quit that, regular fontsize is good enough. =w=;

Grant Warner:<font color="#000000">About damn time. Go bother someone else! &gt;:I

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yes, good sir? ...You were at the meeting..ah! The Olidamarran advisor.&quot;

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

Martin Sawyer:<font color="#000000">&quot;That's right. And you're... Gnogglebolt, I believe?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;There was.. I was told that you can answer a couple of questions regarding the situation here.&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus watches his slovenly sister sleep all over the place while the adults try to get the children not to stare.


 * Martin Sawyer kneels down to gnome level.


 * Thomas Lazarus takes one final look at Sszeyl's portrait.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Boy, my presense alone doubled the output of your forge while I was working on it! Show a little more appreciation to those who dedicate their entire lives to a craft you need! :U

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Tom leans over and carefully drapes it over Tomi's face.

Ball of Light 1:<font color="#000000">She's been covered with a blanket, too... oh, celestials.

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

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Nope.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">She is now napping with the canvas over her head. =3=

Grant Warner:<font color="#000000"> Goddamn foreigners. My workspace is a mess. Knocked all the tools out of order. &gt;:\

Martin Sawyer:<font color="#000000">&quot;I was wondering if you had the time to work on a small project for tonight's planned infiltration. I heard a mention of... explosives?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Hey! I reorganized

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

Grant Warner:<font color="#000000">Sensible my ass! &gt;:E

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">My, but that has to be the widest, evilest grin anyone has ever seen on Gnogglebolt.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;What did you have in mind?&quot; &gt;83

Sheythsanthi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;I am, and possibly the most knowledgable concerning their current... states as well. You are looking for something specific, I suspect?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">er, no. &gt;8D

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

Teeny Rin 3:<font color="#FF0000">I LIKED THE OTHER ONE BETTER *brick'd away*

Martin Sawyer:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh, nothing terribly special. Just something to serve as a distraction. Preferably detonated without anyone close to it. And, of course, small enough to sneak up to the walls of a prison without being detected.&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus shakes his head at his sister.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;....How far away?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;A number of things that need clarification. First of all.. do you know whether Charles Whitaker is possessed? Second of all, are there any Hextor worshippers among the Yoriver Mace, as opposed to those possessed...

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Then, of course, are there any inquisitors left that aren't hosts to a being from the Nine Hells..&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus folds his arms and turns to Ed. He smiles. &quot;..Well, you certainly seem to be in a dramatically different mood than earlier.&quot;

Martin Sawyer:<font color="#000000">&quot;It just needs to look powerful. Maybe take out a few stone bricks. We don't want to collapse the place on our teams' heads, after all. That would be tragic.&quot; The fellow tilts his head. &quot;... How far away can you make it?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Did you talk, perhaps?&quot;

Sheythsanthi whispers: I can answer the possessed part as Shey would know.. but what about the hextorites?

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

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;And lastly.... I was told about your duty bringing you here alongside another inquisitor, along the sanctioned summoner we have exorcised.&quot;

You whisper to Ghostwish: Hard to say. The soul-scanning spells have a hard time differentiating between those possessed and those who serve evil gods as clerics or champions.

Sheythsanthi:<font color="#9933FF">The wood elf sighs, crossing his arms before he rubs his chin thoughtfully.. &quot;Our commander is.. comprimised. Whether or not he is possessed, I cannot tell. But he has lied to me, and it was he who sent us on that foolish errant, escorting nothing short of a fiend into this holy place.&quot;

Glitch:<font color="#000000">damn, it doesn't say how long the copper wire can be...

Glitch:<font color="#000000">guess that means no 'technical' limit, within reason.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt rummages through his pack.


 * Liatai secretly roots for Bombchus. 83 *BRICK'D*

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">I read that as bombchucks.

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">The exploding nunchucks.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...Can detonate it as far away as I have length of unbroken copper wire.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">Bombchu, the exploding pikachu?

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">BOMBCHUS! I totally forgot about that! :&gt;

VAE:<font color="#000000">probably fed with beans or something

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">(Legend of Zelda thing)

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">(they are 'rats', though.)

Sheythsanthi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;As for hextorites, it does seem they are at the bottom of this. But, as of yet, I have not found any evidence of direct hextorite activity. However, as that particular emblem is being thrown about quite a lot.. I would believe it.&quot;

Sheythsanthi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;And now, what concerning that foolish errand would you like to know?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...Though, in this case. The stuff I'm thinking of actually isn't very flashy or big at all.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;It was heard that a certain Inquisitor Drechsler accompanied you. Is that true?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;It's actually a specialty explosive specifically designed to be very focused, for sapping through walls and obstacles.&quot;

Sheythsanthi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Correct. I'm not sure how long he will remain unpossessed, however, given his blindness to the issues here.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Depending on the nature of distraction you need, I guess that might not be enough...&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;So.. he was still unpossessed?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Do you want something big, loud, and flashy?&quot;

Sheythsanthi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;His behavior had not changed as I had observed in the others, not yet at least. I lack the skill of a paladin or cleric to tell for certain.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Thank you.. now.. can you tell me where is the fellow from?&quot;


 * Edaric brings the current stanza of music to a close. He grins. &quot;... He offered me a place to live at Eytherinu, and said when they get married, he wants me to be best man.&quot; c:

Sheythsanthi: <font color="#9933ff">(( Where is he from? ))

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Everyone assumes clerics can just magically see evil, huh. My specialty, totally uncredited.. TwT

Roy Stanford:<font color="#000000">Technically, inquisitor, we can, just not as frequently as you. *brick'd!*

VAE:<font color="#000000">he was from Jones's Rock last I was going through this.Transferred about five years ago.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Oh pff, any spellcaster can do that one. =3=

Sheythsanthi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Jone's rock. He came to us roughly five years ago.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hmm... it might be... Though... I wouldn't expect.. was it a regular transfer or a penal assignment?&quot;

Sheythsanthi: <font color="#9933ff">(( ^_^ ))

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Tom beams! &quot;Well, now! See? I was sure it would turn out better than you feared.&quot; ^_^

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I'm really glad to hear it.&quot;

Martin Sawyer:<font color="#000000">&quot;The bigger, louder, and flashier, the better. It has to seem as though it has some teeth, though, since it will be drawing the attention of devils.&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">VAE, which was it? ^^;

VAE:<font color="#000000">The second. Penal.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">There you go, Ghost. :B

Sheythsanthi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Penal, sadly. He was a tad troublesome, so it seemed.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hmmm. And yet, detonated at a distance...&quot; Gnogglebolt considers. &quot;Actually...&quot; He pulls out his bombchucker, the fat-barreled gun-like device. &quot;Would a distance of a couple hundred feet be sufficient?&quot;

Martin Sawyer:<font color="#000000">&quot;That would be marvellous.&quot;

Teeny Rin 3:<font color="#FF0000">Well, now it's a penal assignment more like--*BRICK'D*

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Odd.. then.. hmm, might not be him after all. It was just.. the name, locale and some of the description reminded me of a fellow I knew.&quot;

Sheythsanthi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Small world, Inquisitor. Was there anything else? If you'll pardon me, I was doing a bit of eavesdropping.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Then I may have just the thing...my little grenades may not be as big as what you're hoping for, but I think I can whip up something special...&quot;

Martin Sawyer:<font color="#000000">&quot;What would you need to do so?&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">afk two shakes. Out of immediately obvious pertinent RPs anyways.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;But.. eh. I trained that guy myself, and he was as sharp as a barbed devil's quill. Wouldn't get himself into .. well, you know.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;I suppose that is all for now.&quot;

Grant Warner:<font color="#000000">&quot;No explosives in my forge!&quot; &gt;8|

Refugee Protector:<font color="#000000">&quot; Technically, it's the Pelorites' forge. &quot;

Glitch:<font color="#000000">( &#171; &#160;34*30 = 34 * 30 = 1020&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Glitch:<font color="#000000">(ooh, that'll do...)

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;May the Cudgel watch over your path, Senior Inquisitor Simtherzairvin.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;What do I need? Hmm...&quot; Gnogglebolt looks around, his eyes focusing oddly.

Miron:<font color="#000000">With that, the gnome departs.


 * Grant Warner protectively stands between Gnogglebolt and his tools. &gt;:| *brick'd*

Raerarael Eyllisaearsithek:<font color="#000000">&quot;(Slow down, slow down, Tathi! What's this about SEEDS and a refuge?)&quot;

Sheythsanthi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Fair well, Inquisitor.&quot; He says, and goes back to listening in on Tathi.


 * Meany has no conversation people this session. TwT

Liatai:<font color="#000000">So... seek some out? :B

VAE:<font color="#000000">I guess Sszeyl could pester Miron, if you want to.

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">This is what I get for Mini-ing.

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

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">Sszeyl is going to let him sort that out.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Hence the perogative towards timeskipping to something group-inclusive. ^^;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt makes a search check against DC 30: &#171; &#160;1d20+18 = 4 + 18 = 22&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">I second Hatari's motion. :v

VAE:<font color="#000000">Seriously, given their talk back on the boat, it'd make some sense

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Although, yes, helping yourself is always an option. If easier said than done.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt starts picking bits and pieces out of his backpakc and pockets...but quickly gets frustrated. &quot;No...no...that won't do..no...&quot;

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">VAE, I fail to see how.

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">Miron has to sort out his mental paradoxes himself, and wouldn't accept a Drow's help anyway.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;879/3 = 879 / 3 = 293&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

VAE:<font color="#000000">Help is a different thing..besides, Sszeyl doesn't count as as much drow as the actual drow do, if you are getting my drift.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hmph. Okay, I won't be able to substitute materials on this one, but I've got enough stuff in my bag of tricks alone for what I need.&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">There are no actual Drow in the campaign. |T *bricked*

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Anyway, Gnogglebolt has enough GP worth of &quot;generic tech materials&quot; in his inventory to build what I'm thinking of.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">...although it will -definitely- be overkill. But hey. Since when am I going to have this chance to show that's precicely how tinkers do things? xD

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">She finally takes a breath! &quot;(I'm going to be entertaining a high elven LORD at the sanctuary! That high elf with the wolf has some kind of connection to him and she's got his papers and she's going to arrange a meeting and by His Staff this is the first connection we'll have with an existing elven nation!!&quot; Annnnnd she ends with a squeal.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Okay. Give me an hour. I'll have a party favor all ready.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">As long as the building doesn't fall over/in and kill innocent people.. &gt;.&gt;;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Hey Aelian I'm going to work on a stupidly powerful grenade on the same table you're sitting at that's okay right?

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Sorry sorry, unannounced AFK for tea.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Or, more IC&gt;


 * Liatai reads up.

Aelian:<font color="#9933FF">Aelian looks over... sees technology.. and vacates.

Martin Sawyer:<font color="#000000">&quot;Wonderful. We'll be holding the meeting in about an hour.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">As Aelian sits alone at the table, Gnogglebolt suddenly hops into a chair and upends the entire contents of his Cargo Pack all over it. It's a pile of stuff bigger than he is.

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">Suddenly a Drow appears.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">And Gnogglebolt very quickly starts picking bits out and does things.

Miron:<font color="#000000">The inquisitor is slowly making his way through the hall, and appearing deep in thought.

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;Miron, you mustn't be so deep in thought while moving. You'll walk into walls.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Last I checked, you were a few bricks short of being one.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Expending one use of Normal Cobble, using EMM&amp;M-errata on the ability. Craft by hours instead of weeks (though his weekly crafting capability is in -plats-). MR of the device doubled.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">One hour of lolcraft, taking 10: &#171; &#160;10+24 = 10 + 24 = 34&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;=34 against DC 30. Then &#171; &#160;30*24 = 30 * 24 = 720&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; for Progress by Platinum, against 879gp.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">--erk

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

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;34*30 = 34 * 30 = 1020&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; progress in platinum. But still.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Is that supposed to be with lolcats instead of jokaero?

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt could, in theory, make up to ten of these things at once.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">But he only has the stuff on hand for one.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;326.7-(879/3 = 326.7 = -326.7&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; gp worth of tech materials remaining.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">what the

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;326.7-(879/3) = 326.7 - 879 / 3 = 33.7&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; gp worth of tech materials remaining.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">That's better.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Math is not your friend tonight, Tech. ^^;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Inventory updated.

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;I may as well be. Given I hardly move around anymore.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Alone, after working for only part of an hour...Gnogglebolt leans back and examines the thing on the table before him.


 * VAE likes how Sszeyl is silently standing there. Almost responded to it before seeing owl typing.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">He quickly picks it up and gingerly--being careful--puts it into his pack before anyone can see.

Glitch whispers: He just made The Big One from Even More M&amp;M.

Glitch whispers: page 154 if you would like to check it


 * Tomiko Lazarus snorts violently, spasms, and mumbles. She drags a hand up to scratch her face -- rattle rattle. There's something in the way.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;We're all holed up in here like those damn rats in the bloodfucker's shed..&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Remember?&quot;

You whisper to Glitch: ... uh-oh. It's not going to destroy the prison, is it? :B


 * Gamal-Junayd wants to get up, run outside, and start a giant distraction by attacking the first fiend he can find

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;I meant more lack of motivation to move.&quot;

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">~D| She slaps the canvas groggily and lifts it off her face.

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;I don't eat, trance, or drink anymore.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;That.. that isn't good. If you won't keep your body strong, the thing in you will gain power.&quot;


 * Tomiko Lazarus sits up and blinks hard a few times before giving it an earnest examination.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;The last thing we'd need is him on top of all the shit that's falling here from whatever hell has moved above because the High Heavens sure don't have this grade in them.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt quietly makes off to elsewhere in the temple.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">If anyone catches him, he seems to be walking more carefully...in a way that avoids jostling his pack too much.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Pardon?

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;...&quot; D| &quot;...&quot; o| &quot;...&quot; o: &quot;...&quot; &gt;:. &quot;...&quot; &gt;:O

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Though.. I'm the one to talk for almost killing you two days ago, eh.&quot;


 * Tomiko Lazarus stands up on the bench.

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">let's get a report of what that picture is. :P


 * Thomas Lazarus looks over. Oh no what are you going to do--

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;It is quite alright.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;Everyone in the group has tried to kill me.&quot;

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Who is responsible for this?&quot; Tomiko points to the portrait sharply.

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;It's sort of a tradition now.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">the picture was typed out earlier unless it's a new one

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;I s'ppose i'm to get a number and stand in the line.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">it's tomiko personified

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;Anyway, I do not do these things because I no longer have need.&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">God it's like a million lines up

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;Well, you're free to take a shot right now.

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

Sszeyl: <font color="#cc0066">(( Do you need it again? ))

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;No longer have need? And what the fuck do you run on, coal?&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">The painting depicts Tomiko, towering and terrible. Flames dancing around her, casting a shadow on her face, leaving only two gleaming red dots to indicate facial structures aside from a positively -wolfish- grin. The background is littered with bodies, crushed and burnt, with broken weapons of every stripe dotting the field. Tomiko is at the time of the painting, reaching out toward the viewer, her hand covered in fire yet close enough to perfectly see the details of the limb. Black blobs at the sides of the painting blur some of the painting, until the viewer realizes they are a pair of hands, splayed out trying to ward Her off.

Sszeyl: <font color="#cc0066">(( I can fetch it. ))

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;I draw my power from the Ocean.&quot;

Glitch whispers: if he hits a wall, it only does fire damage, so the damage is going to be reduced and hardness applies. Especially if it's a stone wall, it will probably hold. But what was that &quot;math is not your friend&quot; comment?

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">The title is: The First Horseman, for reference. =3=

You whisper to Glitch: Twice you entered an equation and hit a snag, I was just making a joke. :B

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">|D; Not certain he should say anything, Tom is staggered.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;I think I'll save you for later. There's a good handful of folks that will get intimate with my mace ahead of you, if I'll live long enough to do it.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;If you wish.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I found it.&quot; =3= &#171; &#160;1d20+1-10 = 3 + 1 - 10 = -6&#160; <font color="#FF0000">&#187; !!!

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;I not only wish, I swore to.&quot;

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Sense Motive: &#171; &#160;1d20+1 = 16 + 1 = 17&#160; <font color="#FF0000">&#187; =3= !!!


 * Edaric stops strumming, taking Tom's lead on this instead of blurting out 'oh hey is that one of Sszeyl's?' &gt;.&gt;;

Glitch whispers: Yeah. In general for objects (excepting special rulings for certain materials), fire damge is reduced by half, and then hardness is applied. I don't imagine stone is a strange enough material to change that. Something like paper could, for instance, be ruled as taking double damage and no hardness applies. :B

Glitch whispers: so, it's probably not going to destroy the prison.

Glitch whispers: it's actually not even as powerful as one of Tathi's Fireballs.

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Liar!&quot; &gt;:O Tom gets a finger pointed at his face, touching his cheek, even.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">=3=; &quot;Why are you asking like that, anyways. I thought it was really good..&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;If you need help, you've but to ask.&quot;

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I must know!&quot; *_*


 * Thomas Lazarus sweeps the finger off his mug. &gt;:T &quot;You're acting weird. Settle down; it was --&quot;

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Tom gets discarded into the fountain with a tremendous splash. *_*

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">DX


 * Tomiko Lazarus stalks off.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;I'm sure you'll find something worth of doing regardless... it's not like there's another option.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;--! Tom, are you okay?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;There are always other options.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;People just aren't always willing to take them.&quot;

Ball of Light 1:<font color="#000000">Tom is now even holier than before. The fountain is full of holy water.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;The only other options here would either involve a noose, or becoming a heretical swine.&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus regains his footing after a moment, dribbling water down his face. &quot; Cold cold cold cold cold- &quot; =3=;;;;;

Ball of Light 1:<font color="#000000">Archons bob around Tom, checking on him.


 * Tomiko Lazarus appears in the cellar with a dramatic doorslamming appearance. *_*

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">She points to her portrait. &quot;Who is responsible for this?!&quot;

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">He's full of holes

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Holy~

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">Sszeyl raises his hand.

VAE:<font color="#000000">he's got a chainmail on

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Also freezing~

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Whump. Tom sloppily plops onto the garden, totally soaked. =w=;;

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">*O*

Sheythsanthi:<font color="#9933FF">Sheyth looks over with a bemused look.

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hold on a minute, I gotcha.&quot; Ed strums a few chords, and Tom finds himself warming and drying slowly, as if an invisible hairdryer was being applied.


 * Tomiko Lazarus approaches, holding the portrait in two hands and giving it the most scrutinous glower, right in front of Sszeyl, before looking up at him.

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;The.. is that Tomiko?&quot;

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;You did?&quot;

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

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;More pictures, huh? And...pfft&quot;


 * Ansramil Hawkin peers around Tomi's shoulder. &quot;... that's very good.&quot; :.

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;This.. is.. ''fucking.. fan-tastic!!&quot;'' She clutches the air dramatically.

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">Complete with sound effects.

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I've never seen such an awesome rendition of anything!! Much less me!&quot;

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">*zelda get music for Tomiko*

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;That painting... if you gave her two more pairs of arms, maybe we'd get Whitaker to sniff at her arse.&quot;

Anise Berilan:<font color="#000000">&quot; Shhhhhh, &quot; to Ansramil.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">(Tomiko, you so crazy. xD )

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;Thank you.&quot; :3

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot; I'm okay. &quot; =w=; Tom shivers leaning against the fountain basin.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">:24 lagcheck?

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hell, no, I don't think Hextor himself looks that pissed off half the time.&quot;

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Who are you? I need a name to put this to!&quot;

Tomiko Lazarus: <font color="#ff0000">(( :24 ))

Liatai:<font color="#000000">:24 at :24


 * Edaric keeps up the prestidigitation. Warm warm dry dry strum strum~ &quot; Should we have told her it was Sszeyl? &quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">Sszeyl points to the silk arrow on the painting. &quot;I am Sszeyl.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot; I'm not sure. I feel like that would've been jeopardizing my mission, though.&quot; =3=c

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&gt;:. Chinrub. &quot;..Just Sszeyl?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;I do not have a surname at present.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;Nor, unfortunately, any titles.&quot;

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Unacceptable!&quot; She snaps.

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;You're a master artist, you deserve a better title!&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">I refuse to take the title of Goddess of the Booze.

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">That is the other Kordite's title.

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">He earned it.

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">We'll see about that later. *_*

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;Sszeyl, yes, you do. You forget? Name of the Four Beasts?&quot; Suddenly ninja.

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;Oh right. Swan Song, from the Wind school. It has been too long since I went by it...&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;I call you by it just yesterday...&quot; =3=;

Glitch:<font color="#000000">&quot;THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE.&quot; &quot;Yeah! Like he said!&quot; &quot;The GODS should NOT be playing BALL like THIS!&quot; &quot;Well exactly!--&quot; &quot;THIS IS HOW THE GODS SHOULD PLAY BALL!&quot; &quot;...&quot;

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


 * Tomiko Lazarus squints at Swallowtail. Then looks to Sszeyl suspiciously.

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;Was it just yesterday...that seems so long ago...&quot;

Glitch:<font color="#000000">...never saw Road to El Dorado? :B

Liatai:<font color="#000000">It's on my list. =w=;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">Yeaaah, in hindsight. Going through -millions of years- of memories is never good for linear progression.

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..You are a student of the Wind school? A student of the Four Beasts?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hey Swallowtail!&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;I intend to expand into the Fire school as well. But yes.&quot;


 * Tomiko Lazarus claps a hand on Sszeyl's shoulder and looks earnest for a moment.

Miron:<font color="#000000">The inquisitor brightens up as the catgirl costume ninja shows up

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;You are now my favorite Guardian.&quot; =3=

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

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000"> Rotten crazy sister. @_@

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">I read that in Yuna's voice.

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

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">Why brain.

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

Glitch:<font color="#000000">(damn, no youtube clips of the scene)

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;What do you want?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;My set of paintings relating to the Horsemen is incomplete. I have Conquest, Death, and Famine.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;Do you know anyone who could be the War, for my set?&quot;

Glitch:<font color="#000000">She's standing right in front of you. :B


 * Tomiko Lazarus rubs her chin. &quot;...&quot;

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot; The greatest warmonger that has ever lived..&quot;

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">Tomiko has not shown to be a warmonger.

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">She is el Conquistador.

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

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">She doesn't fight.

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">She conquers.


 * Glitch just shakes head and wanders away

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..That's Vargachixeniejir.&quot;

Sszeyl whispers: Well.

You whisper to Meany: You can just feel the dragon swelling with pride. |3

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

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

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Mm.&quot;


 * Swallowtail flinches and looks to Sszeyl...

Glitch:<font color="#000000">anyway, I'm all ready for timeskippy to mission briefing when everyone else is.

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">... but seeing as he doesn't seem to be acting unusual, she relaxes.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;I don't see how burning down cities and wanton slaughter makes for greatness.&quot;


 * Tomiko Lazarus has honored her patron artist and returned his request.

GM:<font color="#000000">Mmkay! Mid-session noms while I prepare?

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Feeling fulfilled, she stalks off after a nod of acknowledgement.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">&quot;Vargachixeniejir did great things. Terrible, yes. But great.&quot;

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

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Mid-session noms! I just got through collecting them.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Tomiko - Foxfriend! Thomas - Did I just set Swallowtail off on something good or tragic? Swallowtail - I WILL MAKE YOU FEEL BETTER Sszeyl - Goddamn paintings. Why do you not work. Thomas - I just don't like resorting to violence if they're only doing their job! Tathi - Mega-Giddyness Sszeyl and Miron - We'll probably still fight some day. But we'll put differences aside until then. Tomiko - WHO PAINTED THIS.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;If you want a good man of war, you should paint the one who stood at the front of the dwarven army as it pushed back the lolthian black flood.&quot;

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">Gnogglebolt for clearing a room by inventing. XP

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">It's funny to me because I actually stopped, considered, objectively, who that would historically be. What great general? What legendary warrior? Who single-handedly caused the most collateral damage?

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">Miron for checking on pupil

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">..And the natural conclusion was the person in front of her.

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">Wait a second are you trying to tell us the Lazarus family is the akellon rednecks?

Sszeyl whispers: ...Weren't there Green Dragons in that forest?

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">As the movers and shakers in the temple start whispering, Serrierr heads down to the breifing table.

Sszeyl whispers: Did you kill any during the burning?

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">He takes up his earlier position in the corner, sits down cross-legged on the ground, and dims his light emanations.

Sheythsanthi:<font color="#9933FF">Like you could keep him out of the meeting.

VAE:<font color="#000000">I think it's fair to say that you'll be able to move Miron and Gradia iinto the meeting room together.

Aelian:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Thanks Gamal!&quot;

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">You are now my favorite Guardian. =3= *FICKLE'D*

Sszeyl whispers: The sky is black from so much smoke. The sun is eclipsed, the only light coming from the great fires. A -massive- red dragon stands among the flames, tail sweeping out to fell many trees, out of whom humanoid shapes (also on fire) fall to the ground. Other small figures are fleeing the beast, to be struck by lightning, and bolts of fire. But truly, the beast's attention is on the smaller green dragon trapped under it's bulk. One green limb is sailing through the air, amputated by the Red's claws, while the red's fire breath is overwhelming the green's acid breath. In the sky, several burning Coppers can be seen, many more looking to be falling than flying. The only humanoid figure to not be fleeing is an archer, shooting an arrow with a silk ribbon shaft at the beast. On the back is the title: &quot;The Second Horseman.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">she switches favourites fast

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">way to a girls heart, through her stomach. haha

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Didn't think so. The number of em packed in there, tom walks into all those glaives...and what...one, two managed to connect when he wsn't even trying to dodge yet?&quot;

Sszeyl whispers: ''Normally, I would give the painting to the person it's supposed to represent. Do you have someone who you'd want to have it, in your place?''

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Took you long enough&quot; *a passing nod to her* &quot;Want a seat?&quot;

You whisper to Meany: '''............ ACCEPTABLE.''' *W*

Glitch:<font color="#000000">(it's okay if she has a reason not to be around, just thought that since she was around last time...)

Anise Berilan:<font color="#000000">&quot;Nah, I'm all right. You short folk need to see the tabletop anyway.&quot; |3

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;We didn't destroy a building. just a few things inside of it's hidden baseement&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;You know what they say. Strongest poison is kept in the small bottles.&quot;

Malachite:<font color="#000000">Omnomnomnom! Oh man Kor you're missing out, these are awesome.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot; Sorry again about that, Mr...&quot; &gt;.&gt;;;;;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;I need a spell that summons big tables..&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I'm terribly sorry, Senior Inquisitor. I keep missing your name.&quot; ^^;;

Kor:<font color="#9933FF">LET ME. GO. DAMN YOU.

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">Nope.avi.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...I could make this table bigger...&quot;

Malachite:<font color="#000000">Nyahaha~

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Well, least you recognize you are poison.&quot;

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

Sheythsanthi:<font color="#9933FF">The wood elf chuckles a little. &quot;Just call me Sheysim for short. Everyone does.&quot;

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

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Sorry about the damages.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">Just call me Scheisse for short.


 * VAE giggles


 * Liatai throws a fish at the lynx. =3=

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">&quot;...most of them were my fault, so, I suppose I should apologize about that myself.&quot; The Eladrin suddenly speaks up from behind the rescued inquisitory.

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">*inquisitor


 * VAE grabs fish mid-air, noms

Sheythsanthi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Nonsense. I consider the clearing of a devil infestation and the removal of my life from the danger of imminent end to more than adequate compensation for any damages to my property.&quot;

Sheythsanthi:<font color="#9933FF">to be more than*

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Glad to hear..&quot; ^^;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;I submit this, then.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Removal of your life? We didn't kill ya&quot;

Ball of Light 4:<font color="#000000">Don't mind me, I'm just here because this corner looked bare. *brick'd*

Sheythsanthi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;From imminent end.&quot;

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">He doesn't need to know most of the damages were caused while the threat was already passed, I suppose...

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">I guess that would make me more than rich enough to pay off all my crimes, then, right |D

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;Multiple unknown liquids were mixing all over that floor, and have been fermenting for about an hour now in an air-tight basement.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">0_0

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;About how long until they become an acid, or explode the house due to the pressure.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;That's either going to make a nasty acid, or a very big...&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;D..depends on what was there.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...Huh. You're a good theoretical alchemist, Sszeyl.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;No.. this isn't as simple as acids... you're getting this wrong.&quot;


 * Liatai just sits back and watches the PCs dig their own graves. |D *BRICK'D*

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;There.. ugh.. there are many possibilities and few of them benign.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">(because in a medieval setting, basic chemical reactions surely are not common knowledge. :B )

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hell.. with those runes, a living spell wouldn't be out of the question.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;A-anyway!&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">I have two people, centuries plus old in my head.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;We have a mission to discuss, yes?&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;So. whats the plan for the jail break?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">They have vivid imaginations.

Sheythsanthi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;None. Those were all criminal investigation materials. If they mixed like that, you'll have some odd, off-tasting water within seconds.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;At least.&quot;


 * Martin Sawyer approaches before the meeting commences in full. &quot;Hello again, maester. Any luck?&quot;

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

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">You obviously know nothing about actual criminal investigation materials which include actual acids.

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">And flesh eating beetles.

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">Speaking of, have some.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt turns and smiles at the Olidamarran, whispering. &quot;In working order.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;One day, we'll need to talk about this, Senior Inquisitor.&quot;

Sheythsanthi:<font color="#9933FF">You have no idea what you're talking about. http://www.paperspencils.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/1311763417814.jpg

Martin Sawyer:<font color="#000000">&quot;Excellent. Excellent indeed.&quot; |3

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;I .. maybe there are a few things I could learn to use at our own branch.. after all I did get a passing training in some alchemical matters... it's a bit rusty, but still.&quot;

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">Why brain.

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Who is that ridiculously pretty person, and what gender are they. =_=

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">Why you read Martin's Excellent as Mr. Burns' Excellent.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">There's no stopping her; RUN Martin!

VAE:<font color="#000000">Never thought Tomiko is into bishies


 * VAE thought she's all for grizzled manly men

VAE:<font color="#000000">preferably with hats


 * VAE now ships her and Flint

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">*flexes biceps*

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">(no not really. :B )

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">For once, it pleases me that a male character who is actually supposed to look effeminate gets his gender questioned, as opposed to the usual ELFFFFS. :B *BRICK'D*

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

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Gender: Male, Female, Elf.

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;About this prison break. I hear there's going to be something about a diversionary distraction?&quot;


 * Roy Stanford waits for the hubbub to die down, then stands. &quot;Thank you all for gathering promptly. Here are the plans we have currently formulated for this evening's activity.&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus raises his brows and looks about. &quot;Is mother Selaren occupied..?&quot;

Roy Stanford:<font color="#000000">&quot;The prison break is but one of our two goals this evening.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;--Oh yes, I was wondering that, will the kindly Holy Mother be joining us?&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus listens up anyways. This is martial business. She wouldn't be overly concerned, except in being concerned. =w=;

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;No.&quot;

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;She had a heart attack on the stairs down here.&quot;

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;May she rest in peace.&quot;

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

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">*all of the bullets*

VAE:<font color="#000000">We got ressurect spells


 * Ball of Light 4 chimes up. &quot; Mother Selaren is currently resting. She will be seeing to the defense of the home front, should the fiends take the opportunity to attack while our main forces are outside the temple. &quot;

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">Res doesn't work on natural causes.

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

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Oh. Thank you, good archon.&quot; :o

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Understood. Thank you.&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus looks back to Roy.

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

Ball of Light 4:<font color="#000000">&quot; I will be serving as her ear for this meeting. You may call me Ting. &quot; The ball of light chimes cheerily. ^^

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">ting ting ding a ling

Glitch:<font color="#000000">(aw, no name ending in -iel, or -ael? :B )

Glitch:<font color="#000000">(ah well~)

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">The lantern archons all have nicknames. :B

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

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

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">Hebrew naming conventions only need el.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Nickname is good. |3

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">The i or a in front of it is aethetic.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">The one who was shot by the erinyes was nicknamed Pip.

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">el means 'god' or 'of god'.

VAE:<font color="#000000">they are the deities of happiness, see

VAE:<font color="#000000">er, archons

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Very well then...so, two objectives you say?&quot;

Roy Stanford:<font color="#000000">&quot;... Eyllisaearsithek, kindly remove your dragon from the table so we may lay out maps.&quot;

Malachite:<font color="#000000">Nyah! The pseudodragon sticks out its tongue at Roy and crosses her forelegs.


 * Tomiko Lazarus laughs.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">in draconic &quot;If ou get off the table now, I'll cook you an extra batch later&quot;

Malachite:<font color="#000000">Goodness gracious did she teleport? 83

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Bribing it into submission? Really?&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Why not?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;That sort of thing will bite you in the arse later.&quot;

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Gamal discovers that all Pokemon of Criminal type have a x4 weakness versus bribes.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;The proper lasting way is to make them obey through your authority alone.&quot;

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">Everyone in the room feels an aura of disapproval.

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">And the glow gets stronger.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;And make them resent you? If the bribe costs less than dealing with obstinance...then getting them to agree with you by offering them rewards is better for all involved. less betrayal later&quot;


 * Roy Stanford rolls out a map of the city onto the table. &quot;As the Holy Mother informed us this morning, the temple is in dire need of silver dust for the ritual of hallowing, which will keep us all safe from the incursion of possessing fiends.&quot; The man turns a glowing eye toward Serrierr. &quot;Do you have something you wish to say, eladrin?&quot;

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">Which then goes away.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Carrots produce longer lasting results than sticks.&quot;

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">He shakes his head. &quot;No. Pardon me.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;One day you may have nothing to bribe with, but your authority will stay with you, the more you build it.&quot;

Teeny Rin:<font color="#FF0000">That was an excellent Mironism, Gamal. *SLICE'D*

Liatai:<font color="#000000">.. come to think of it, it was. x3

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

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;Authority is nice. Bribery is nice.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">hoisted on his own petard thing

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;Both are unrelated to the topic being discussed.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;Let us get back to that.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">Deserves a nom.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Sszeyl speaks wisely.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;May I ask that the philosophical crosstalk be mitigated?&quot;

Roy Stanford:<font color="#000000">&quot;Being secure and closer to removing the taint on this city is even better.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Theories and rhetoric can wait, we have a real mission to plan here.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Do you know where this dust might be located?&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus rubs his chin and nods with a frown. &quot;..Reinforcing the hallowed ground is crucial. Right now, the only places in the city we can be well and truly safe from ethereal baatezu spirits searching for hosts are around Serrierr, and here.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;This could be over right away if we lose that.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Then obtaining the dust must by reason take priority over everything else.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;How did the kordites remain free of infestation when they were not here? Did they have wards down in their location that might be used as a fallback bastion if need be?&quot;

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">&quot;I would hear all the facts from the commander before throwing any weight in any direction.&quot;

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">&quot;...though the one called Gamal brings up a very excellent question.&quot;

Roy Stanford:<font color="#000000">&quot;Our Kordite allies have informed us of a cache they once used to protect their own sanctuaries; however, it is being watched very closely by erinyes and other diabolic agents.&quot; The commander points to a marked location on the map, in red. &quot;It is close enough to the prison that a decisive strike could draw guards away from their beat, especially if it is very flashy or done by high-profile agents.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;I suspect an individual can resist it to some extent. Lyle did, definitely&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Flashy?&quot; Gnogglebolt says, grinning.

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">&quot;High-profile, you say?&quot;

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;P'feh. They're not omniscient. They had a good hiding place! Besides. We had father and mother Alfarson with us. The Pelorites don't have a monopoly on holy magic.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Is that place warded then? In case a fallback is needed? Backup plans are nice to have in case things go wrong.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Good question.&quot;


 * Tomiko Lazarus shrugs. &quot;You'd haveta ask them, I dunno. They're upstairs on guard duty.&quot;


 * Roy Stanford unrolls another map; this one rougher and sketched. &quot;This is what we know of the layout of the prison where the Olidamarran agents are being kept. As you can see, most of the Olidamarran prisoners are on the far eastern wing. It has been reported that the western wing displays odd lights at night, and screams can be heard coming from within; we believe this wing to be their torture chambers.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;I think I get it. We're splitting into two groups, one to get the silver, and one to hit the prison? I like this. It'll divide their forces and leave them hurting when we complete both at once.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Indeed. Besides, too big a group would just step over themselves more so than hurt our foes.&quot;

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">If anyone's looking in Serrierr's direction, they can see his muscle tone tensing.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt looks at the map. How far, on estimation, is the silver cache from the prison?

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">say, 500 feet or less? Or is it much further than that?

Roy Stanford:<font color="#000000">&quot;Both of these wings will need to be examined for prisoners... however, we can draw their guard away by launching a distraction attack at the rear of the prison, which contains the administrative offices.&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Pardon while the DM looks up the length of a city block.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">(ah dang, prolly much longer then. Hm.)

Liatai:<font color="#000000">One moment...

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Do you know who we are looking for specifically? Descriptions, names..&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Distraction attack...has the Olidamarran Martin Sawyer spoken to you about that?&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">The length of a city block can vary and will be anywhere from 264 to 352 feet long.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">So says Google. :B

Glitch:<font color="#000000">(oh wow, really?)

Liatai:<font color="#000000">So, yes, it's well within 500 feet. :3

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">All hail google. (Amen.)

Glitch:<font color="#000000">(...wait, how many blocks away are the two objectives?)

Liatai:<font color="#000000">About one and a half to two.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">(just one, or more?)

Glitch:<font color="#000000">(Gotcha)

Glitch:<font color="#000000">(carry on. :3 )

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;How do these Eriinyes' rank against the one Tomiko killed?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;Equal in power, lesser, or greater?&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;I think Serrierr should definatly be on the distraction team. To encourage the devils to really focus there&quot;


 * VAE has Hubba Hubba Zoot Zoot running, imagines Roy doing the front singing, and the rest of the folks at the table being the choir

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">&quot;Most likey equal power, unless any emerge as a leader of a sort.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;That seems like a good thing..at least at such a case, making a flashy mess is the goal.&quot;


 * Martin Sawyer clears his throat and straightens. &quot;That we do, and that will be part of our determination of squad members for each of these missions. The Kordites have offered to assist with the seizure of their silver cache, and each of the three prison attack squads will have at least one Olidamarran member with them to help determine who is to be released.&quot;

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Hmph. The big fancy leading one was nothing. She died squirming like a bitch -- like they all have.&quot;

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;If they have any formidable forces..&quot;

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;They haven't shown their faces yet.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Actually, Gamal...from what I understand, there's going to be a &quot;distraction&quot;, not necessarily a committed attack on one end of the prison, while a real squad sneaks into the other side of the prison. While havoc is being caused there, the other team goes after the silver cache.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Enough fleas will kill a rat, Tomiko&quot;

Martin Sawyer:<font color="#000000">&quot;Not quite, good Gnogglebolt! Not quite. Allow me to elucidate.&quot; |3

Martin Sawyer:<font color="#000000">And the DM to draw.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;They don't have much strength, but their numbers are without count.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Well, I think it sufficies to say that myself, Gnogglebolt, Serrierr, and Tomiko should head for the cache. We're certainately the loudiest and showiest.&quot;

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Well, they haven't had enough fleas, either.&quot;

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">&quot;...the gnome of Old Heavy-Handed speaks an apt idiom, actually.&quot;

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh yes. And I was going to say. If at all possible, would dearly enjoy joining whichever team Tomiko Lazarus is on.&quot;

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">WHO SPILLED MOUNTAIN DEW ON THE TABLE.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;If it is so, then at least brother Thomas should go along.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;I do not trust the four of you with an operation without any oversight.&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus clears his throat.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;At least a single Mace member should be in every group, if for nothing else than to report afterwards.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Let's just.. formalize the plan before bickering over teams.&quot; =w=;

Martin Sawyer:<font color="#000000">&quot;The red mark is the silver cache, while the green is the prison. The western wing of the prison is the torture chamber, the eastern holds prisoners, and the back holds the administrative offices. Are you following so far?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Indeed...&quot; Gnogglebolt watches the Olidamarran and listens carefully to the plan.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Don't we want the cache group to be quiet? to ensure it makes it there&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;I follow so far...&quot;

Martin Sawyer:<font color="#000000">&quot;The first team will attack the silver cache, first. This will be decisive, and draw the attention of the fiends and agents on the beat. When they are close enough to the cache...&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt blinks in confusion, but holds his tongue.

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;I see. The attacks are timed slightly differently.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Makes sense.. they have to be given the time to move about.&quot;

Martin Sawyer:<font color="#000000">&quot;... a second team will attack the rear of the prison, preferrably with something explosive or highly magical to draw the attention of the fiends remaining on site.&quot;

Martin Sawyer:<font color="#000000">&quot;They don't want their precious papers destroyed or looted, after all.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt winks at Martin.


 * Thomas Lazarus frowns at 'papers'.

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">I will have to poof soon.

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">Can't stay up till midnight here.

Martin Sawyer:<font color="#000000">&quot;While they are scrambling about to salvage their paperwork, two other teams will sneak in the sides, using hidden entrances our agents know well.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Comprehension dawns on Gnogglebolt. &quot;I see. So, we have four teams in total, two noisy, two quiet.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Will they take the bait? I suspect you're selling them slightly short... after all, which sane attacker would ever lounge after paperwork.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;One noisy team attacks the cache first, second noisy team attacks the middle of the prison, two sneaky teams flank the sides.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Braxtons. =3= *smote*

Martin Sawyer:<font color="#000000">&quot;They will extract the prisoners and exfiltrate. The 'noisy teams' will withdraw when the prisoners are secure, and we should all be back here before midnight even strikes.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;I see...well. Ah.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Mistern martin Sawyer? I really think I ought to volunteer some tactical information regarding your special request.&quot;

Martin Sawyer:<font color="#000000">&quot;As far as the paperwork goes, good inquisitor? Every scrap of paper is evidence of their corruption.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;They might get the hint at that point.... and if they consolidate their defense inside..&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Is it? What sort of records are kept there?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Ah.. even devils can't be everywhere at once. They will have to pick and choose from our simultaneous attack points.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;A good idea.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Because common lists of prisoners hardly serve as any evidence on top of what we got already.&quot;

Martin Sawyer:<font color="#000000">&quot;Arrest records, warrants, hirings, firings, hangings. Nothing we don't already have, but it'll be good to make them scramble.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hmm.. still. perhaps...&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;So getting any paperwork isn't an objective of ours, but they will be scared enough that it -is-?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;What about reversing the order?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;First group hits the administrative building, then the second one goes for the stash.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;That way, the'll think that the stash was our real goal all along and won't expect paired attacks next.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Hm.. the prison is most likely much better fortified and defended. We don't want to be overwhelmed.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;because we want the majority of the forces in limbo between the cache and the prison.&quot;

Roy Stanford:<font color="#000000">&quot;That would be fair, inquisitor, were it not for one factor, which is also the reason we are engaging this attack at twilight.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;And so first, we want to draw as many out as we can.&quot;

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

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;And that reason is?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;If we attack the prison first, they'll retreat inside&gt;&quot;

Roy Stanford:<font color="#000000">&quot;The prison grounds are patrolled by bezekira baatezu.&quot;

Roy Stanford:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hellcats, if you are unfamiliar.&quot;

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">Serrierr hisses.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+8 = 11 + 8 = 19&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; Knowledge Planar

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

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;...&quot; &#171; &#160;1d20+10 = 4 + 10 = 14&#160; <font color="#FF0000">&#187;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&#171; &#160;1d20+9 = 16 + 9 = 25&#160; <font color="#9933FF">&#187; knowledge planes!

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;The noisy team on the prison, should try to actually grab some papers..just to make it more convincing.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Oh, ranks.

Roy Stanford:<font color="#000000">&quot;They are invisible in the light. However, attacking at true nightfall would cripple our largely human forces.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">You so unreliable.

Martin Sawyer:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh, but of course. There are rumors that they have equipment and contraband from their prisoners stored there, as well.&quot;

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">*w*

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;What's the estimated time for the first two parts of the operation?&quot;

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">&quot;Wherever the Bezekira are, I probably should be. I have Sight to see them with. They will be very dangerous to anyone else.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Anyway...may I--may I please bring some information to the table?&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;So..4 simultaneous strike teams. Two focused on stealth, one on giant distraction duty...and one on cannot fail or we lose our bastion&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Maybe we could fit it together the way I proposed.&quot;

Roy Stanford:<font color="#000000">&quot;You may speak, Sparkgear.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Easy. If we do this at twilight, we'll be safe either way.&quot;

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Anyway. Martin Sawyer approached me earlier, asking me if I could whip up some kind of big, flashy explosive to serve as a distraction.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...I did.&quot; Gnogglebolt digs into his cargo pack on the floor at his side, and then puts something on the table. It...it...


 * Jay Sawyer arranges papers while Gnogglebolt speaks. Sleight of Hand - &#171; &#160;1d20+16 = 4 + 16 = 20&#160;  &#187; Silent shuffling.


 * Thomas Lazarus leans away. &gt;.&gt;;;


 * Edaric and Swallowtail follow suit. &gt;.&gt;;;;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">It's a small melon-sized spherical shell, and looks like it should be a single piece but is made out of several pieces locked together. And it is solid yellow.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">''Bright. Yellow.''

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;What is that?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;What the fuck is that, Mammon's shit?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">With black lines forming a &gt;:) on the front.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Andn a very small fuse on the top.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;This...is what we in Mazio call The Big One.&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">SMILEEEEEY &gt;:O *KER-BLEWEY'D*

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Want. =3=

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;It's certainly big, but you still haven't told us what the fuck does it do.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;It's one of the the most powerful standard handgrenade designs in circulation.&quot;

Railock:<font color="#000000">My roommate and another friend are standing at the far ends of the main hall in our apartment, and using bows to fire foam headed arrows at each other....

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;It doesn't even have a handle.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;That's because it's normally supposed to be thrown. But anyway....&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;This thing isn't designed to knock down walls, I doubt it will really do much to a fortified structure like a prison.&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">... and the Megaman music comes on as soon as Gnogglebolt takes out the bomb. Nice choice, music player. |3

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Thrown? Grenades are shot from cannons, short-range ones.&quot;

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

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">Time to go.

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">Bai~

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Then whats the point?&quot;

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;But the blast is still huge and loud, almost comparable to a catapult bomb.&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Seeya, Meany. Any noms before you go?

VAE:<font color="#000000">see ya owl

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...Incidentally, if it were to go off right now, it would probably kill a quarter of the people in this room.&quot;

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">Gnoggle for Smiley Bombs. But I suggest detracting points.

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

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Want.

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">They are not Smiley Gas Bombs.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">(it's not my design. :B )

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">:3

Miron:<font color="#000000">Miron jerks away.

Miron:<font color="#000000">(still on his chair)

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Sheesh, Gnogglebolt..&quot; =w=;;; &quot;..Maybe you can finish the description after you carefully put it away..&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Then.. why the FUCK did you bring it here!?

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;If this doesn't get their attention, then nothing earthly will.&quot;

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt carefully puts it back in his pack.

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

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">Swallowtail for NINJA THERAPY.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;One more consideration.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Do you have something that will breach the wall to pair it with?&quot;

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">I got nothing.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;That's ... Lyle, you might as well set up a summoning circle on the meeting table.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt then pulls something esle from his pack. To the guardians, it's very familiar; his bombchucker.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt then leans forward and sketches a circle around the prison. The circle is big enough that it includes the stash.&quot;

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">other than I discovered a The Wiz song: Ease on Down the Road.

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">Give it a listen.

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">It's nice.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...With my little bombchucker here, I can hit the center of the prison from anywhere within that circle.&quot;

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">(the circle goes about two and a half block-radius around the prison)

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">''I want that too. *brick'd*''

Gradia Thorngage:<font color="#000000">&quot;... impressive.&quot;

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

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Impressive indeed... but.. can you aim it that far?&quot;

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

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hitting our own folk would be the last thing you want to do.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;It would be a difficult shot, but I can do it.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;And what about coordination?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;At that sort of distance, you can't exactly shout and wave.&quot;

Viceth:<font color="#000000">&quot;Should that fail, we have a number of capable magi here, who are no doubt fully capable of throwing fireballs or other highly concussive spells.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;I would suggest that everyone hearing one of the loudest bangs of your life be the signal to get in.&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus rubs his chin and looks to Ed.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Also! I would like to present one more thing, to cap this all off.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Which is something, I am reluctant to say, I trust considerably more.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..Didn't you master a spell recently we could use for this sort of thing, Ed?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt puts the bombchucker away, and pulls out....

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">some...bricks of putty?

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;... Say... you're right, Tom.&quot; :.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Now this stuff.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Someone shit bricks from seeing the bomb.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;This is the good stuff.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Could we maybe do this without deafening every single prisoner there?&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;I do have access to -- &quot; Snerk. X3

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Seaforium ''want. *3*''

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;This is what we call 'Seaforium'. It's very stable.&quot; Gnogglebolt then turns and chucks one of the bricks at the wall. It smacks and falls to the ground.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Looks like modelers clay&quot;

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">You haven't seen so much want in the pupils of anyone's eyes since Tom gave the dragon family a rogue stone.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Yay live demo.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;And what the fuck is it good for?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;But it's a highly specialized explosive. Put an electric jolt through it, and that sets it off.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Sorry -- I have access to speechlinking --&quot; And Ed and Swallowtail both immediately jumped away from the wall when Gnogglebolt threw the block.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;making pots?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Speak up, and speak quickly.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Ohh... does it work with spells?&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+4 = 10 + 4 = 14&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; Balance --

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;What it does is create very very small but powerful explosion. Very focused.&quot;


 * Edaric doesn't fall, at least.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot; Gnogglebolt please stop terrifying our allies with explosives.&quot; =w=;;;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;This is the stuff that can blow a hole in a stone wall.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Now this is something I can appreciate.&quot;


 * Viceth rubs his chin. &quot;Electrical charge, you say...&quot; |3

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;It's also not that loud.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Definitely a bang, but not so much as The Big One.&quot;

Altonor:<font color="#000000">&quot;We do have a premier lightning mage here.&quot; &gt;:3

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;This.. have you any experience with using it, though?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;If the stealth groups were willing to go with a dynamic entry, or at least need help getting cells open, this stuff'l get you in toot-sweet.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Ah yeah, that is the thing.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;The worst thing to do on a critical operation is to rely on new stuff that fails as often as it does shit.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;It has to be set by someone who knows what they're doing. Or...&quot;

Teeny Rin:<font color="#FF0000">Session log title: And then we sat at a big meeting table and discussed explosives without Shankfang.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;The explosion won't go the direction you want it to.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;This would be Bad.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Saint Cuthbert says, where the horse breaks his legs, the ox walks through.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;So your saying you need o be on the team that blows the back wall?&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;that may be the team in the most trouble and in need of retreating fastest.&quot;

Jay Sawyer:<font color="#000000">&quot;Unlocking the cells will prove no problem for our men, but, the Kordite vault has sturdy doors. With the roguish faction tied up at the prison, perhaps your explosives would be best used there, maester.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">Okay, not Saint Cuthbert says.. that's the worse way of formulating this ever. I might need more tea.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;I'm saying I can hit the prison administration section with my bombchucker from anywhere. But if anyone wants the Seaforium, I have to be where it's used.&quot;

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

Roy Stanford:<font color="#000000">&quot;Let's organize our squadrons, before we go any farther.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">We're planning with bombs..

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">I feel like SWAT! \o/

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;I'd be much more for this sea for um than this bombchunker that might miss and kill prisoners needlessly.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;The commander speaks wisely.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">mutters &quot;Of course the kordite vault is stronger than prison walls...it would have to deal with their drunken bets during parties, wouldn't it.&quot;


 * Tomiko Lazarus laughs at that.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;So yes, I could theoretically bombard the prison all the way from the cache.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;As for it.. there's the matter of avoiding the needless deaths of our colleagues too. After all those possessed can be exorcised and will likely turn to our side.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;And they will have no idea where the shot came from.&quot;

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;There is no barrier on the planet that can stop a determined Kordite. Only active magic could stop me from getting into or out of anywhere in the world.&quot; &gt;|3


 * Tomiko Lazarus raises a fist. &quot;It's help Rae and I get around.&quot;

Roy Stanford:<font color="#000000">Can everyone see the text labels?

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">I see the text lables.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">If you mean on the table, no.

VAE:<font color="#000000">wot labels

Liatai:<font color="#000000">East of the room.

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

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Zoom out

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Off to the east.

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

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">I see them now yes.

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

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

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">yes

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Anyway, um...&quot; Gnogglebolt clears his throat. &quot;Since we're splitting into four teams total I hope that leaves room enough that whatever team Miron is on, I'm not.&quot;

Roy Stanford:<font color="#000000">&quot;A number of our men have offered to assist in this endeavor, as well as the Kordites and the drow.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;I hope that is the case as well.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Maybe miron should be on the prison team gathering papers. Maybe he would have a good eye for damning paperwork&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">Tathi glances over at Aelian. &quot;You'd be best in the sneak team.&quot;

Altonor:<font color="#000000">&quot;Our team would best be utilized as a distraction force, perhaps at the back of the prison. I can also keep up aerial surveillance.&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#9933FF">Aelian nods, and looks back. &quot;And you and your father in wherever noise is needed.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd: <font color="#0">(( okay, before we continue. DM. are you TRULY asking us to split the party? ))

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">&quot;As was mentioned earlier, us most highly visible and flashiest agents would do well on the administration diversionary attack. Tomiko, what do you think about that?&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">No. ^^;

Glitch:<font color="#000000">(the 'party' can stay in one place, I'm just splitting Gnogglebolt out. :B )

Liatai:<font color="#000000">The party seems to be taking that initiative by themselves. ^^;;;;;


 * Liatai is brick'd.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">(and I suspect this whole thing might be on one map anyway)

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Gamal... isn't all that wrong. I do know a couple of spells that can raise hell... I think a few of you had some unfortunate experience.&quot;

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">It'd still make sense to happen that way.

Gamal-Junayd: <font color="#0">(( you would prefer us together or apart. ))

Roy Stanford:<font color="#000000">&quot;If I may.&quot;


 * Tomiko Lazarus strikes an open palm with her armored knuckles. The actual shockwave this creates sends a vibration through peoples chairs. &quot;Send me anywhere. This is a wondrous plan!&quot; &gt;83

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt immediately directs ears towards Roy.

Gamal-Junayd: <font color="#0">(( cause I think at this point, miron and gnoggle need to be splt, but if you want us together, we can get everyone else on one team ))

Roy Stanford:<font color="#000000">&quot;The Guardians functioned very well as a single unit earlier today. It would be preferable to keep them together in one unit, likely at the prison.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;WEll, at least we know if gnoggle is on the cache, the administreation assault can still break through the back wall with her there&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Indeed. I can handle vaults with my Seaforium. Akellon hasn't built any vault to withstand the best of Mazian sapping technology.&quot;

Roy Stanford:<font color="#000000">&quot;Our men have shown an interest in infiltrating and participating in extraction, but we are capable and may be placed anywhere. Tomiko Lazarus, Raerarael Eyllisaearsithek...&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Sounds reasonable.. Gradia?&quot;


 * Dr. Hatari likes how Tomiko and C4 are considered in the same category for this mission's assets.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Then..gnoggle at the cache, the rest of hte guardians, Miron, Serrier, and Tomiko at administration to cause a ruckus, and use the raiders and olidmarrans to breach the two other wings?&quot;

Roy Stanford:<font color="#000000">&quot;You are high-priority targets. It would do well to have at least one of you on the vault team.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;And if anyone wants, I could even lob smaller bombs from the cache location onto the prison if some more confusion to the enemy is needed. A decent way of actually telling me where to bombard would be needed, though.&quot;


 * Tomiko Lazarus smirks at Raerarael.

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;We're their favorites.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;I stand again to mention that at least one Mace officer should be present in every group.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;I was actually about to bring that up.&quot; Ed raises a hand. &quot;I have access to speechlinking magic.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Sir (at tathi's father) If worse comes to worse, can you teleport out like your daughter? If so, sending you to the cache might be best to ensure we get the load back home safely&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;To use your own words, Acting Commander Stanford, some here need rather firm guidance in order to be an asset to our plan.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;That would do excellently, if anyone thinks a sustained bombardment of the prison with small explosives is the most eficient use of that.&quot;

Altonor:<font color="#000000">&quot;Say, Edaric -- your name is Edaric, right?&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yeah, it is.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;No no.&quot; =w=;; &quot;Let's keep our.. exploding on a tight leash.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;We're working closely with civilians afterall. Must account for reasonable error.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;So, just the initial distraction with The Big One, then.&quot;

Altonor:<font color="#000000">&quot;If you can maintain two of those at once, Kep and I are going to be on aerial surveillance and distracting the erinyes. We can alert your team if there are any changes in the movement of the devils.&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus worries. =3=;;c *brick'd*

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;That's not a bad plan.&quot; :.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Ooh, aerial reconnaissance. I like that.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;They do come out in force at night. Can you keep that many distracted?&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Gnogglebolt, did you want a speechlink, then, or no? I could do two, but it cuts into my combat magic for the day.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000"> &quot;I like whatever will put me the furthest from him.&quot;

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hmm. I could join in an aerial battle too, after completing the distraction strike, or if you need an assist, Paladin.&quot;

Altonor:<font color="#000000">&quot;That would be a great help, Serrierr.&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus cradles his chin and thinks teams. &quot;...&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;No. No speechlink then. I'll just do the one initial pre-planned bombard with The Big One, and then leave the prison alone unless I'm in a high place and I see a really good target of opportunity, away from bystanders or collateral.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Protection of innocent is my highest priority, I will not fire if there's even a chance I could get a bystander or something I don't intend to hit.&quot;

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Visrep of the teams, I took the liberty of moving around. Anyone disagree? (just trying to help, not trying to impose)

Glitch:<font color="#000000">(this sounds to me like the solidifying plan)


 * Tomiko Lazarus grins fiendishly, showing off her rather alarmingly sharp teeth. &quot;Oh, good. I'll get to see how far I've come..&quot;

Roy Stanford:<font color="#000000">&quot;Thus far, this seems to be how the squad arrangements are shaping up. The drow will attack the rear of the prison, the maester and the Kordites will take the cache, the Leaden Mace and Guardian teams will deal with extraction and exfiltration, while Serrierr begins first with the cache team, then assists with the distraction at the rear of the prison.&quot;

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;How many punches will it take to breach the thinnest part of a prison wall!&quot; *w*

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

Roy Stanford:<font color="#000000">&quot;Tomiko Lazarus, Raerarael Eyllisaearsithek, you are the only two left to pick your locations.&quot;

Roy Stanford:<font color="#000000">&quot;... from your statements, Lazarus, I assume you want to be on the prison distraction team.&quot;


 * Tomiko Lazarus doesn't even hesitate. A finger is swept at the prison.

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hmm, I don't recall going to the cache, but I suppose I am mobile enough to take both if that is best.&quot;

Raerarael Eyllisaearsithek:<font color="#000000">&quot;Sounds like I'll take the vault, then.&quot;

Roy Stanford:<font color="#000000">&quot;I may have misunderstood, eladrin.&quot;

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">&quot;I was under the impression I would start at the rear of the prison, then take to the air.&quot;

Roy Stanford:<font color="#000000">&quot;... A question.&quot;

Roy Stanford:<font color="#000000">&quot;Our fiendish foes possess teleportation capability. Do you possess any similar abilities?&quot;

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">Serrierr sighs. &quot;Unfortunately, I do not.&quot;

Raerarael Eyllisaearsithek:<font color="#000000">&quot;I can teleport, too -- and slap a few dimensional anchors on the devils that come closest to the cache, to buy you some time.&quot;

Roy Stanford:<font color="#000000">&quot;I see. Then you would be best served beginning at the rear of the prison, then, as you suggested.&quot;

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">&quot;I can fly at speed though, and with my weapon, I'm usually able to keep devils from being able to concentrate enough to translocate on their onw.&quot;

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">*own

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">&quot;...but only one at a time, maybe two.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;As an aside, what of us? Unlike you Yoriver folks, who are used to working together among yourselves, those of us from Castleton and Braxton can essentially tag along whichever group, since there's few of us.&quot;

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">&quot;They're very slippery.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;As long as we stay grouped, of course.&quot;

Roy Stanford:<font color="#000000">&quot;The inquisitors who accompanied the Guardians to the residence of Sheythsanthi would be best served remaining with the Guardians.&quot;

Anise Berilan:<font color="#000000">&quot;I'm actually thinking of staying here to help with the home defense.&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus rubs his chin. &quot;... Ed could keep a speechlink up with Altonor, and keep us appraised of anything big ...&quot; He murmurs and continues pouring over the battle plan.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...Wait, one more question.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Makes sense. Gradia? What of you and Marty?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;How much time do we have before we get this started?&quot;

Sheythsanthi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Honestly, I am not well suited for any of these operations. Communications is my strong point, not showy magic or brute force.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Though.. would have thought you'd want to dee Tomiko in action, Anise&quot; *grins*

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">&quot;...Communications? Magical communication, yes?&quot;

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

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Can you help keep the groups in communication?&quot;


 * Tomiko Lazarus raises a brow and half-glances to Anise. &quot;..?&quot; They've never even been introduced.

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">&quot;Because I wonder--Paladin, can your mount carry two?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Then it's clear.. Senior Inquisitor Simtherzairvin will coordinate group operations.&quot;

Roy Stanford:<font color="#000000">&quot;As the largest group, the Guardians would be focusing on the eastern, prison wing, where the most prisoners are located to be freed.&quot; Roy looks aside at Sheythsanthi. &quot;Your intelligence and skill are too great to risk a second time today, Sheythsanthi. If you insist on joining this operation, I would insist that you remain in a support capacity.&quot;


 * Dr. Hatari read that too quickly, as 'marry two'.


 * Dr. Hatari WTF'd.

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh. Nevermind that then.&quot; Serrierr says as Roy makes his order.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Someone expert at communication at a distance will surely prove useful making sure the timing is correct.&quot;

Altonor:<font color="#000000">&quot;Depends on how heavy they are. He can't carry two people in armor as heavy as mine, but someone light? No problem.&quot;

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">&quot;I was merely going to suggest if Sheythsanthi has great magical communications ability, then he could perhaps serve well riding with you in the air. But, his commander says he is too valuable a target...which is probably true.&quot;

Sheythsanthi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot; I meant dealing with people. Adventurers.. &quot;

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


 * Tomiko Lazarus chuckles.

Roy Stanford:<font color="#000000">&quot;Perhaps you would care to make your capabilities as far as communications go known to the rest of the agents assembled, Sheythsanthi?&quot; Because the DM doesn't know. |D;;;; *brick'd*

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Sounds like a solid plan, at any rate. Just need to bridge all the final details..&quot; &gt;:.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;The other option is joining us at the prison. After all, as a local inquisitor, you must be familiar with the place's layout.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;And we will make sure to prevent you being taken.&quot;

Roy Stanford:<font color="#000000">&quot;We have roughly three hours before twilight, to answer your question, Sparkgear.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Twilight this evening.. curses. &quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Ah, thank you.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot; I can work with that...&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Our spells will be very, very thin..&quot; &gt;:.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;But there's no time to wait a day.&quot;

Martin Sawyer:<font color="#000000">&quot;Really? That is good to be aware of. How thin?&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;I've only cast one spell today.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;We engaged well over a dozen fiends extracting Mr.. ... ..Sheythsanthi.&quot; He says carefully.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;As for my prayers go... about half a dozen times I had to petition.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I've depleted a few prayers. But I'm mostly prepared for a major battle.&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus looks to Tathi. &quot;How about you?&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Went through a few spells at the rescue, but I do still have a few more. I do like going in with a full book, however.&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus starts.

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

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;It's not like we have a choice.&quot;

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

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..I.. I spoke with the sanctioned summoner we rescued. Her name was Lucina..&quot; He furrows his brow. &quot;I'd like to share her accounts with our occult experts and Leaden Mace officers when I have time. They're mysterious.&quot;

Martin Sawyer:<font color="#000000">&quot;Then we'll send one of the Bakers along with you, as backup and the Olidamarran component of your group. An illusionist or an expert locksmith should serve you well.&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot; Locksmith please, I am not good enough to pick prison locks. &quot; &gt;.&gt;;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..Also, she insister we keep a few pieces of property that her fiend purchased while it was dominating her vessel.&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus displays a couple items to Tathi.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Wands - Charm Person (750), Invisibility (4,500), Web (4,500) Elemental Gem (fire) (2,250) Potions - Cure Serious Wounds (750), Water Breathing (750), Misdirection (300)

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Sounds like locksmith it is.&quot; She says,a nd glances over.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Will this help make up for your lost powers?&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">She looks over, and takes the gem. &quot;This will. That wand of charm person likely won't effect these fiends.. and I don't bother with illusion.&quot;

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


 * Thomas Lazarus nods hesitantly. &quot;Good, then.. there's no time to waste.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Ed does, doesnt he?&quot;

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">&quot;As we've already established, invisibility isn't much good against most fiends anyway.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;...... saaaaaaaaaay.&quot; :. &quot;I do still have that wand of -- oh.&quot; &gt;.&gt;;


 * Thomas Lazarus raises his brows and offers Ed the items. &quot;Sorry. I have no clue what these even are.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;It might confuse those with them.&quot;

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">&quot;Many of them have Sight, like me.&quot;

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">&quot; Some of them even better than mine....&quot;

Viceth:<font color="#000000">&quot;Lady Eyllisaearsithek, you are an evoker, correct?&quot;

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">&quot;Still would be useful for getting past any non-magic-aided mortals, though.&quot;

Viceth:<font color="#000000">&quot;Should you encounter any fiendish thralls to capture, that wand with the web spell contained within may be helpful to you.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Tom looks to Roy. &quot; I'll speak with brother Petersen about Ms. Lucina's testimony later, before our raid.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot; Oh gods don't call me that I'm still not used to it. &quot;

Lyle Petersen:<font color="#000000">&quot;I look forward to it,&quot; Lyle says from the corner. |3

VAE:<font color="#000000">heh, Brother Petersen. That must have taken Tom loots of time to say

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Just Tathi, please, and wand of web- how did I miss that!?&quot; She says, and takes the wand of web too!


 * Thomas Lazarus looks over with a start.


 * Thomas Lazarus never even noticed him. |D;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh god..not webs...&quot;

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh, I think I should also volunteer one more thing. Which of the four groups has the most physical weapons, and expects to encounter the most infernal resistance?&quot;

Firaira:<font color="#9933FF">The high elf glances over at Viceth. &quot;I suspect you are leading this operation, old man?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Also, no. I got over the Malconvoker bit fairly swiftly after we started butting heads with real fiends. I even defended his character a few times. ^^;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Tom isn't one to hold a grudge for long.

Ansramil Hawkin:<font color="#000000">&quot;The Guardians, most likely, or the Kordites.&quot;

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">&quot;Because I have the unlimited capacity to bestow a blessing of the heavans onto mortal steel, to make it strike true against fiends.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">Psst, Lyle, he says your fiends aren't real.

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">&quot;...but it only lasts for twelve minutes at a time before it wears off and I'd have to renew it, if I was present.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">heavans. Might as well be heavin' forth

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Oh you know what I meant.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">*heavens

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Besides shutup or I'll sic my little sister on you. :T

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">lawls.

Viceth:<font color="#000000">&quot;So it would seem.&quot; |3

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">'Little'?

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Yeah right. |D

Glitch:<font color="#000000">erm, starting to lose which is canon and which is non. :B

Ansramil Hawkin:<font color="#000000">&quot;The Kordites, then.&quot;

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

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">come on, Tech. At my place it's almost 4AM

Ansramil Hawkin:<font color="#000000">&quot;They'll be facing fiendish resistance soonest, and you'll also be close to the Guardians before they infiltrate. You could bless their weapons before the prison distraction occurs.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">at your timezone you shoul be lucid.

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hmm. I'd have to bestow it upon the Kordites just before they make their strike, then circle around as fast as I can to the rear of the prison to get there in time with that strange explosive of the gnome's lands.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Pity the spell can't work on the explosive.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Say, Miss Lazrus?&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Do you know if the Kordites can bless their own weapons? You said they had some priests with them.&quot; :.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Twelve minutes would be far enough time to strike the first blow.&quot;

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">&quot;Or I could go straight from the cache to the prison, but that might defeat the purpose of drawing them away from the prison in the first place. Hmm.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Not really. The idea is having as much of them locked in transit as we can.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Just save it for the team your with&quot;

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I wouldn't be the one to ask. But I imagine so.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;If you can lead them away, the better.&quot;

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">&quot;Ah, if the Kordites have divine channels, then they should be able to do the same...&quot;

Dorf Aias:<font color="#9933FF">The dwarf leans over the table, smooshing his beard as he peers at the map.

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;The Alfarsons are tough. Experienced. Powerful.&quot;

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">&quot;...It just occurred to me, why is no Kordite commander present here?&quot;

Roy Stanford:<font color="#000000">&quot;They are on guard duty.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">Because anarchists don't believe in meetings.

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">&quot;Should they be involved in the planning that involves them?&quot;

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;They can handle some simple little weapons blessings. They can raise the fuckin' dead; I'm pretty sure the rest is child's play.&quot;

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

Ball of Light 4:<font color="#000000">&quot; I will relay any messages to them. &quot;

Dorf Aias:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Well, a'm either gaun wi' th' Kordites or th' Guardians.&quot; He says, and looks up. &quot;Your call.&quot;

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">&quot;Very well then, I'll stay at the rear prison attack as planned.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">That said

VAE:<font color="#000000">did Gradia ever respond on what will she and Marty do?

VAE:<font color="#000000">I think miron asked just before mentioning to Anise the chance to see Tomiko in action

Gradia Thorngage:<font color="#000000">&quot;We will remain here on support capacity.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">at dwarf &quot;Kordites. keep them from drinking too much by drinking it all first.&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Any CL 9+ cleric should be able to cast Blessing of the Righteous, which makes the whole groups weapons Good aligned, amongst other buffs.

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

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">With that, even militia could fight fiends.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">(even better than Serrierr's one-at-a-time. :B )

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

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

Glitch:<font color="#000000">was that just me?

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

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;That does settle in my role then...&quot;''No matter what, can't shake the Guardians off once I stepped in them... such is life, I guess. ''

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Dr. Hatari: With that, even militia could fight fiends. Glitch: (even better than Serrierr's one-at-a-time. :B ) You have disconnected.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">last I saw


 * Roy Stanford stands. &quot;Very well. We have a plan, and three hours in which to fine-tune and prepare. Convene here at that time for the final briefing and deployment.&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">You missed nothing.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;There's a last thing to mention.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..Yes, sir.&quot; Tom salutes.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Not someting that will take place today, of course, and likely not even tomorrow, but a thing that must be prepared for either way.&quot;

Roy Stanford:<font color="#000000">&quot;Speak, inquisitor.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;With the findings from your formal interrogation, and that of Archivist Petersen, we have contacted our home branches at Braxton Falls,Castleton, and Jones's Rock. The information should, and will be spread, and it should reach...&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;As you are likely aware, there's a number of our people camping around the town, originally sent as reinforcements, that have been denied entrance, as Inquisitor Berilan has noted.&quot;

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">&quot;....Blasting down the gate would introduce some lovely confusion to our enemy.&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus starts. &quot;That's right.. Commander Ashmore cast a Sending to me a short while ago. I requested that he Scry back soon to communicate more fully.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;It hasn't been an hour yet. He may still.&quot;

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Watch Ashmore scry in the middle of battle. :U

Roy Stanford:<font color="#000000">&quot;Very good. Keep those avenues of communication open if at all possible.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;I gave explicit instructions that they should be notified, and in such a time, the news should reach them that you are the legitimate commander of the Yoriver Leaden Mace and those witholding them access to the county's lands are heretics and trators at worst, and possessed at best.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Which means we have a host of allies we'll need to get into the town.&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Keep your guard up. Watch your east flank.&quot; &quot;SIR NOW IS ... A POOR TIME DO YOU MIND--&quot; &quot;Watch your tone Inquisitor. &gt;:| Also your sword is held too low.&quot; &quot;(ARHG.)&quot;


 * Ball of Light 4 chimes. &quot; We could bring them through the tunnels! &quot;

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

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

Miron:<font color="#000000">And I don't have a sword.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Either way, they will need bringing in some way. Having them force their way through the main gate would be unwise and wasteful.&quot;

Glitch whispers: Hmm, gonna have Serrierr give 'chaotic' battle advice...hope I can nail it.

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">&quot;Well, we can account for that when it comes then, but it is good information to know.&quot;

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">Serrierr stands up from his sitting position from the corner.

Roy Stanford:<font color="#000000">&quot;A matter to consider, indeed. Inquisitor Berilan, Senior Analyst Thorngage; you two have not yet been noted in any capacity as being allied with us 'renegades.'&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus nods slowly. &quot;..A resource we should consider tapping. But for now.. first things first, I suppose. We have only a few hours.&quot;

Roy Stanford:<font color="#000000">&quot;Perhaps we could use you as emissaries to the Mace agents outside the town, when the time comes.&quot;

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">He takes a few steps closer to the table. &quot;Before we conclude this briefing, I'd like to say something. Offer some advice, if you will.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;That would be excellent.&quot;

Roy Stanford:<font color="#000000">&quot;Speak, eladrin.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Also, perhaps that is the place for Senior Inquisitor Simtherzairvin too... after all, he wasn't mentioned on the circulatory letter.&quot;

Sheythsanthi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;I believe base defense shall have to be my post.&quot;

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">Serrierr points to the table. &quot;This is a fine plan. A well-crafted plan. Plans for multiple avenues, and coordination.&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus shakes his head. &quot;No.. they'll know him.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;As far as everyone outside is concerned, he is still a legitimate Yoriver inquisitor.&quot;

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">Serrierr pauses and waits for the other talk to finish.

Roy Stanford:<font color="#000000">&quot;Perhaps. However, Sheythsanthi has a warrant for his arrest. If he were spotted by the gateguards, the game would be up before it began.&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus nods.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh. do you have a plan of where we need to retreat with the prisoners once we have them?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Base defense does work well, too... he has proven rather efficient at defending.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;The only safe place is here, Gamal. ... For now.&quot;

Martin Sawyer:<font color="#000000">&quot;Leave that to us. We know the tunnel system beneath the town. They'll come back here.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yes, but how to get them back here without devils fallinf on us as we move&quot;

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

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;We'll need to regroup as soon as possible after their extraction&quot;

Martin Sawyer:<font color="#000000">&quot;Already accounted for, good inquisitor.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;With the distracting troops from before providing cover to those retreating.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">''At least that way, the ones getting the flak will be the damn drow. ''

Miron:<font color="#000000">&gt;:D

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Oh, they won't get all the fun. *w*

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Well then.&quot;

Roy Stanford:<font color="#000000">&quot;Did you have something to say, eladrin?&quot;

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">&quot;Ah, yes, I did. I was waiting until everyone else was done.&quot;

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">&quot;...Seems like they are, so as I was saying.&quot;

Roy Stanford:<font color="#000000">&quot;We seem to be waiting on you. Speak if you have aught to say.&quot;

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">(redux earlier line) Serrierr points to the table. &quot;This is a fine plan. A well-crafted plan. Plans for multiple avenues, and coordination. A gem-like thing of perfect beauty.&quot;

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">Serrierr folds his arms. &quot;...It's going to go wrong though.&quot; Before anyone else can say anything, he continues.


 * Tomiko Lazarus shrugs. |3

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">&quot;But that's the way plans go. No plan ever works when you involve the enemy. The enemy won't follow your plan. The enemy will do things you won't expect.&quot;

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">&quot;...So, I offer this advice to you all.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Assuming it'll go wrong outright won't get us anywhere.&quot;

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">&quot;When things start going wrong...stay aware. Keep yourself informed about your surroundings. Be smart, and above all, be adaptable.&quot;

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">&quot;You see an opportunity, you take it. Don't hesitate.&quot;

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">&quot;Know more about what's going on than your enemy does.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Empty generalities dressed up as wisdom. As the Wise Fool has said, pretty words like pretty dresses usually conceal ugly truth.&quot;

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

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;There's one thing that needs to be dealt with truly.&quot;

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Don't worry.&quot; This'll be the second city I've taken over! Aaahahahahaahahahah'HAHAHAHAH! *w*'

Liatai:<font color="#000000">It's a good week to be Tomi. :B

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;The assault at the Kordite vault is the most important step in the plan, and we cannot do without the sliver dust.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Suppose the force committed to it isn't sufficient to break in. What do we do next?&quot;

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">&quot;Then we adapt.&quot;

Martin Sawyer:<font color="#000000">&quot;Accounted for.&quot;

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">EVERY week is a good week to be me! \o/ *bricked*

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;We need to know that now.&quot;

Martin Sawyer:<font color="#000000">&quot;The good commander balked at this idea, but the next best alternative is staging a raid on a tax office.&quot;

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">&quot;We can't know that now. We could do any number of things, depending on any number of things. Hence my advice.&quot;

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">&quot;But that is all I had to say.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">:. &quot;... Maybe Ed could keep an ear on the group afterall, if we need to round-back and reinforce you or vice-versa.&quot;

Martin Sawyer:<font color="#000000">&quot;Unless you feel like delving into the Underdark and looking for a deep dragon. Which I wouldn't reccomend.&quot;

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">&quot;A Ghaele would have been able to offer more specific tactics, but I'm no Ghaele.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Communication enables contingencies.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;No.. but we can account for it. Suppose the Mace force that is to take the second prison wing they're the closest to the vault. If things go wrong there, they should help out those at the vault.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Sounds like a plan built to bring glory...But why would a deep dragon need to be assaulted?&quot;

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Quit using big words you heard wizards say.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">|T

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;After all ,the silver is more important than anyone possibly kept in the torture chambers now.&quot;

Altonor:<font color="#000000">&quot;Leave that to me to report.&quot; Altonor grins, tapping his cheek under his red eyes. &quot;One thing drow eyes are good for.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;A little silver doesn't equal the value of a life, Miron. And we do have options.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;If a means of communication is agreed on.. and Lyle does have a scroll of sending left, sorry. Raerael should be able to notify them if things go wo wrong.&quot;

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">&quot;Anyway, if the only thing left is little last-minute details, then it seems we are ready to conclude this and reconvene directly before the mission start.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;In this case, the little silver has the value of our souls.&quot;

Martin Sawyer:<font color="#000000">&quot;Because, good Moscran, deep dragons keep hoards.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Rememeber earlier when I called you MAXIMUM CYNICAL EVER EVER :T

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh..are we rescuing everyone in the prison, or only a select few?&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;If it's everyone, perhaps we should set some support pillars on fire as we leave, to give them something to do besides chase us.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Only the Olidammarrans&quot;

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh yes, I'd almost forgotten about that. Who is being released?&quot;

Martin Sawyer:<font color="#000000">&quot;... I suppose I will be upfront.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Or so I am led to believe.&quot;


 * Tomiko Lazarus waves a hand in the air. &quot;Fussing. Details I do not care about.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">I remember. What about it ,brother?

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Wel, we can always try to bargain for hte silver from there, or assault, Maybe we should collect extra silver just in case&quot;

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Tomi stands and pushes her chair in. &quot;I'm going to pray with my priests, my kindred, and prepare. You're invited, Serrierr.&quot;

Martin Sawyer:<font color="#000000">&quot;The vast majority of prisoners locked away in the prison are our people. The truly vile ones walk free, likely vessels for the fiends.&quot;

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">Serrierr grins at Tomiko. &quot;I accept your invitation.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..Mm.. fiends can more easily possess.. those sorts.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;What is &quot;vast majority&quot; ? How many people are we even loking at?&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;So free them all then? That would be a nice distraction as we flee, all their records going up in smoke. And I'm sure tathi can provide some fire.&quot;

Martin Sawyer:<font color="#000000">&quot;Thirty-seven, if they all still live.&quot;


 * Martin Sawyer sighs. &quot;We had quite the large temple.&quot; =3=;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;I don't particularly like that approach.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Thirty seven in a town this size?&quot;

Martin Sawyer:<font color="#000000">&quot;Just trust in the guides we'll send with you. They know our regulars.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;The hell?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;With any luck -- and our swiftness -- they yet will.&quot;

Martin Sawyer:<font color="#000000">&quot;Everyone loves a good party, inquisitor.&quot; |3


 * Tomiko Lazarus pockets her hands and walks off early.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;So, is this uh, done for now?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;If that was a reason, I'd be an Olidammarran.&quot;

Serrierr:<font color="#000000">Serrierr sees Tomiko get up, and floats up after her.

Roy Stanford:<font color="#000000">&quot;It is. Dismissed. Do whatever you deem is necessary to prepare. And, eat something, lest Mother Selaren reprimand us all.&quot; ... A joke?

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh, spare them your paranoia for once, Miron.&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus smirks.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..Yes, commander.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Shut up, thrall.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;To you, at least they're not drow,.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Give it a res--&quot; Gnogglebolt trails off in a growl.


 * Thomas Lazarus eyerolls and departs. Bickering gnomes, status quo.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;I'll make sure to provide a reinforcing meal for everyone before we go&quot;


 * Swallowtail looks downcast.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Remember, there are things worse than a drow, and a blood traitor is among them.&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;... I have failed my mission. I must try again. &quot; {:|

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Without any further words, Gnogglebolt gets up and walks away.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Don't worry, Swallowtail.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">I've been trying to crack that nut for months. It can't be done. =3=

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">... crack... the nut?


 * Thomas Lazarus causes Swallowtail to begin a mission involving walnuts! \o/

GM:<font color="#000000">On that note, shall we get noms rolling? x3

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Gamal - Always the chef, even feeding our temporary superiors during a mission breifing.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Aand I forgot to record any others. :B

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

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Everyone for planning like we weren't just some powerful jerks that happen to roll together.

Miron:<font color="#000000">Miron slumps on the desk ,looking over the plan's diagrammatics with a blank stare.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">....everyone for A Simple Plan? :B

Miron:<font color="#000000">A plan is the basis of every reasoned action.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Just in general? :B

Miron:<font color="#000000">Such it is written, and such dictates common sense.

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

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">There was some neat meeting RP, but nothing in particular leaps out at me as especially nommable.

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">Nomming Tathi and Sheyshanthi for that particular mention of education and fines

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Tathi and Shey did something..

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Same. And yet, it was major RP, so seems it should be an Everyone gets EXP thing.

VAE:<font color="#000000">I said I will

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

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

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">yeah, meeting in general, lot of rp.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Gamal for emulating Miron with sayings.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">gnoggle and miron for agreeing to be seperated

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">I forgot about Gamal's Mironism!

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Gamal did have a pretty good Mironism. :B

VAE:<font color="#000000">pfft. That isn't a hard thing to get them to agree to.

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

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">heh, true. but at least they didn't argue the entire time

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Probably the number one thing they could agree to. :B

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">What else

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Gonna wreck me a JAIL!

VAE:<font color="#000000">Tomiko for &quot;Who the hell is she?&quot;

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">For freedom or something; I dunno I didn't pay attention to the other parts!

VAE:<font color="#000000">yu know when Miron mentioned Anise would want to see her fight

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">WOOT BOMBZ

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

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Definitely Gnogglebolt for bomb scare.

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">and Tomiko for WANT

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">my backpack is loaded with enough explosives to blow us all to the Underdark!

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;IT'S PERFECTLY STABLE. *hammerstrike -- outside cut to building -- WINDOWS EXPLODE*&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">WHAT MAKES ME A GOOD DEMOGNOME?

Miron:<font color="#000000">Not bad, if you have enough left to blow the underdark up too.

VAE:<font color="#000000">That said

VAE:<font color="#000000">I almost want to counternom for the name seaforium

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

Glitch:<font color="#000000">it's not mine. :b

VAE:<font color="#000000">that pun is horrible even by my standards

Glitch:<font color="#000000">It's directly out of the book.

VAE:<font color="#000000">. . . no

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">It's actually old and Warcraft established.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">I went over this with Ram long ago. It was mentioned before.

VAE:<font color="#000000">no no no

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Almost a decade old now.

VAE:<font color="#000000">no no no no no

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">vae I think, is saying you should of come up with somethign better

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Seaforium is a real Warcraft thing. I didn't come up with it. :B

GM:<font color="#000000">Everyone - 400 XP for Planning! That turned out to be much less of a hassle than I feared. :. Tomiko - 100 XP - It's a good day to be me. |D 100 - Bomb envy. Gamal - 100 XP - Here you go, have some snacks. 100 XP - Mironism! Sszeyl - 100 XP - Dragonpainting. Miron - 100 XP - MAXIMUM CYNICISM. Tathi - 100 XP - I can fireball you now, you know! Gnogglebolt - 100 XP - IF I WERE A BAD DEMOGNOME, I WOULDN'T BE SITTIN' HERE DISCUSSIN' IT WIT'CHA, WOULD I?!

VAE:<font color="#000000">no

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">He's just utilizing some of the stock items available from the class's same source material

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Neither did I come up with smiley-bomb. :B

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Savin' campaign...

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Okay shut up and explain yourself already


 * Glitch guffaws xD

Glitch:<font color="#000000">*at nom

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">46700

Miron:<font color="#000000">Maximum cynicism? I'm the only one being reasonable

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Brother. Are you familiar with tuning the sights of a crossbow?

Miron:<font color="#000000">The few of them in the torture chamber might well die, but without the silver, we all shall perish. It's clear as a good spirit.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">token saved to my hard drive, if it missed campaign save.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">See, if you go a lifetime with them tuned a whole damn 15 degrees up and to the left, you'll think everyone elses sights are wrong. =w=

Miron:<font color="#000000">Not much. I was never one for crossbows or other such.. I can barely hit with a damn holy water vial.

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

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Also you didn't explain the &quot;nonono&quot; to seaforium. :B

Liatai:<font color="#000000">... now I wonder if the spectral one is even awake to shut down the server. ^^;

VAE:<font color="#000000">HORRIBLE C4 pun

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">een for me

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

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">It's not even our worst pun. |D

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">OH. and oh yeah.

VAE:<font color="#000000">it should have been Semtex

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt made sure to collect the brick of seaforium he threw at the wall. :B

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">*inventory


 * Ghostwish jerks awake.


 * VAE victory rawr

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">^_^;;;;;;

VAE:<font color="#000000">Log?

Glitch:<font color="#000000">And yet, danman, you were congratulating me when you thought I came up with it....

VAE:<font color="#000000">was I ?

Liatai:<font color="#000000">I'll send one to you; there were whispers.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">but suddenly turned to &quot;no&quot; when you learned it was part of warcraft for a decade? :B

VAE:<font color="#000000">I dunno myself

Glitch:<font color="#000000">VAE: I almost want to counternom for the name seaforium Dr. Hatari: Heh. Glitch: it's not mine. :b VAE: that pun is horrible even by my standards

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

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

Glitch:<font color="#000000">...which means give me a nom in return.

VAE:<font color="#000000">as in, counterspell

Glitch:<font color="#000000">I think you mean &quot;negative&quot; nom.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">That's what the equipment out of the book is called.

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">Yes, which makes it all that much worse

VAE:<font color="#000000">Not as bad as deathless, granted

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">So about those Fiendless.

VAE:<font color="#000000">They are to me as drow are to Miron

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

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Wait a second.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Wait a second.


 * VAE imagines a pelorite Erinyes.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">I know all cleric spells.

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

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Even Eberron ones.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">neganom!

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">TIME TO SUMMON DEATHLESS.

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

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

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">:D

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Let's have Undying Soldiers!

Miron:<font color="#000000">Don't do it, brother.. my player will force me to kill you.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">You guys are terrible. XP

Glitch:<font color="#000000">The awesome dudes the elves worship!

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">GRADIA CHECK OUT THESE DEATHLESS SCROLLS.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">THEY'RE FREE.


 * Miron collapses, foam in mouth.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">deathless suck!

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

Gradia Thorngage:<font color="#000000">I'm a wizard you fool. :|

VAE:<font color="#000000">And make zero sense

Miron:<font color="#000000">With deathless, you never know

Tokens dropped onto map 'Yoriver - Temple of Pelor'Esaleth:<font color="#9933FF">YOU RAAAAAAANGGG?

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Speaking of, danman, totally serious. In Eberron, the entire elvish religion is built around Deathless ancestor worship.

Miron:<font color="#000000">They make no sense as is, might as well be wizard-summonable


 * Dr. Hatari was also one of the ones that opposed the specific fluff metaphysics of deathless, but that doesn't even matter.

VAE:<font color="#000000">A good thing I never touched eberron then

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Vaeraeg is too sweet.

VAE:<font color="#000000">You know, if deathless ran on negative energy they'd be perfectly fine upstanding fellows

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">okay, goin to bed. XD

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Good game, all!

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Yeah it pretty much is just nothing but &quot;WOO our elves are different!&quot; undead on retracked energy types disregarding the whole fictional source of undead via Orcus and their underlying energy physics. Pretty much tantamount to good-aligned fiends for heroes that want to have dark'n'edgy allies without being bad.

VAE:<font color="#000000">amusing as hell

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">But who cares, they ruffle the lynx.

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">I approve of your trollness

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Shut down the server. XP

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Orcus doesn't exist in eberron. O.o

VAE:<font color="#000000">and saving log again

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Of -course- the metaphysics are different.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Well, this isn't Eberron. :b

Glitch:<font color="#000000">then why did you mention 'our elves are different'?

VAE:<font color="#000000">Because that's just what the deathless seem like looking at BoED

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">They're not actually Eberron-specific. Just prominent. Like Warforged.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Well, that's true.

VAE:<font color="#000000">and you know. When in rome do like a roman ,and don't write ROMANES EUNT DOMUS on walls


 * Ghostwish jersk awake again.


 * Ghostwish hits the power button. ^^;

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

You have disconnected.
