Dr. Hatari has connected.

Meany:Yo.

Meany:How be? :3

Dr. Hatari:I couldn't sleep. X_x

Liatai:&gt;: !

Ghostwish:Poor Hatari.

Ghostwish:So we set to start the game?

Dr. Hatari:I woke up an hour after I laid down and got a second wind, then just couldn't get back to it.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">I'll just have to take a nap later or something.

Ghostwish:<font color="#6600CC">POWER NAP.

GM:<font color="#000000">Well, hopefully we'll be booking along so there'll be a lot of time for you to rest, Hatari.

GM:<font color="#000000">Let's get a roll call, shall we?

Ghostwish:<font color="#6600CC">Here!

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

* Dr. Hatari noms breakfast. =3=

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">Here.

Ghostwish:<font color="#6600CC">Ooo, lunch time. :&gt;

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Oh, Hatari! I forgot to look up Consecrate for you. :o One sec.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">It's fine. I gave myself enough *time* to sleep, and crashed at 5:30. Just, despite my best efforts at laying in bed, sleep didn't happen. I'm tired of trying for now. ^^;

Meany:<font color="#666666">LAG

Liatai:<font color="#000000">It says that any check made in the area gains the bonus, so as long as Thomas is standing in the area, he'll gain the bonus to Cha checks to turn undead.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">Jolly good.

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( Roll call'd. :o ))

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Since it's not an altar to Pelor, it's just a +3 bonus, but any bonus is better than none. :3

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">Indeed.

* VAE mrows unexpectedly

TMG:<font color="#000000">*snrrrrk* Just found something funny.

TMG:<font color="#000000">under the 'Duel of Seduction' trope;

TMG:<font color="#000000">An ancient Dungeons &amp; Dragons joke: Once Upon A Time a young lad and a young lass, wizards' apprentices. They decided to exchange some magics. Both cheated and cast Charm Person to ease the bargain, and both failed their saving throws horribly. They lived Happily Ever After and even died the same day.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">Ah, yes. About how many minutes have passed since our entrance to the dungeon? I'm sure there ought to be less than 40 minutes left on Tom's buffs.

GM:<font color="#000000">Right! So, where were we last time... The Vigilant Guardians had entered the Sargano family tomb, defeated Louis Sargano and his undead minotaur guard in combat, and found some skeletons in the closet.

GM:<font color="#000000">30 minutes left, Tom. :3

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">Thank you. :3

GM:<font color="#000000">But even stranger is the sight that awaited them in the next room... suspecting a trap, they advanced cautiously and fortified themselves near the altar on the far side, ready to press a switch that they were sure would release a zombie horde. What they didn't expect was that it would be a well-dressed, dancing zombie horde. Huh.

VAE:<font color="#000000">tech, given you are tellign it, that was a surprisingly awesome joke

GM:<font color="#000000">The switch also opened the newer-looking door on the far side of the room, beyond which some heard the faint meowing of a cat...

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">&quot;So, continuing to stare at the oddity, or moving forward?&quot;

GM:<font color="#000000">The double doors are now slightly ajar. It shouldn't take much to get them to open all the way.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Still rubbing his forehead and the very unexpected and unprecedented spectacle, Gnogglebolt finishes packing up his things to get ready to move on.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Moving forward, yes. There's nothing for us to do here.&quot;

* Ghostwish returns with lunch

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">The monk moves to one of the doors.

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">&quot;Tom, do you wish to take point once more?&quot;

* Flint Carthan cautiously steps around the altar, eyes locked on the zombies.

Tathi:<font color="#6600CC">&quot;Let's see.. I can detect magic, and locate objects, and that's about it for my divination for the day.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus blinks out of his trance and nods a few times at Sszeyl.

Miron:<font color="#000000">Hmm... we should move as far from this place as possible.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;Ah.. yes. Pardon me.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">These aren't harmful now, but it's basic necromancy to take control of an undead that's already there

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">&quot;... Speaking of magic.&quot; Flint takes out the four other scrolls he had been carrying. &quot;Miron, here.&quot;

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">&quot;I can't use anything on these. You might as well hold onto them.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus sheathes his blade and attempts to push the double-doors open fully.

Tathi:<font color="#6600CC">&quot;If they were nicely bunched, I could take care of the entire lot in one spell.&quot; Tathi says with a wistful sigh.

Miron:<font color="#000000">Thanks. brother. *stuffs them in various places on his robe*

* Tathi watches curiously as Miron stuffs a scroll down his shirt? Various places indeed...

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;Looks clear.&quot; He gestures for the others to come along.

Miron:<font color="#000000">Indeed... but then, we can't really waste spells now.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Everyone, roll a Will save.

* Thomas Lazarus glances over his shoulder a bit nervously.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+6 = 3 + 6 = 9&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Also, need a refresher on the spells, VAE? :3

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Seeing a simple empty hallway, Gnogglebolt trots in after the others...uhoh.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Will: &#171; &#160;1d20+5 = 12 + 5 = 17&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

VAE:<font color="#000000">lia, what sort of effect?

VAE:<font color="#000000">because on some, archivists have a bonus

Liatai:<font color="#000000">I'll whisper it to you.

VAE:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+3+4 = 1 + 3 + 4 = 8&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; Will save

VAE:<font color="#000000">or rather, will abort

Tathi:<font color="#6600CC">&#171; &#160;1d20+will = 10 + 5 = 15&#160; <font color="#6600CC">&#187;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;If those are Louis' zombies.. then as peaceful-looking as they are now.. they would go wild if he were executed someday.&quot; The templar's mind seems to still be on the 'ballroom'.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">First scroll - 1st-level - Goodberry 1st-level - Detect Undead 1st-level - Entropic Shield Second scroll - 2nd-level - Shield Other 2nd-level - SC - Master Air 2nd-level - Make Whole Third scroll - 1st-level - SC - Buoyant Lifting 2nd-level - Summon Monster II 2nd-level - SC - Shroud of Undeath Fourth scroll - 1st-level - Protection from Law 1st-level - Alarm Fifth scroll - 2nd-level - Augury 1st-level - SC - Deep Breath 1st-level - Calm Animals

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Miron, Sszeyl, will saves?

Liatai:<font color="#000000">-- Oh wait, Miron rolled one. ^^;

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

TMG:<font color="#000000">Danman already did his

VAE:<font color="#000000">he rolled one

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

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+3 = 14 + 3 = 17&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Elros:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+2 = 9 + 2 = 11&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Kor:<font color="#6600CC">&#171; &#160;1d20+1 = 15 + 1 = 16&#160; <font color="#6600CC">&#187; Kor obeys only cheese!

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

Smoke:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+1 = 2 + 1 = 3&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; while I'm at it. :B

Ghostwish:<font color="#6600CC">thing that annoys me about the macros is I can't click to them if the token is stacked

Ghostwish:<font color="#6600CC">brb, takin' dishes to the kitchen

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Meany's probably lagging, so I'll roll. &#171; &#160;1d20+5 = 20 + 5 = 25&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

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

Ghostwish:<font color="#6600CC">LUCKY DM ROLLS

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">How to finangle this. :B

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Results given out. I'll pass Meany's on to him when he de-lags. ^^;

Ghostwish:<font color="#6600CC">XP

Ghostwish:<font color="#6600CC">Drat! I got nothin'!?

Kor:<font color="#6600CC">Drat sounds like it should be a name for me. D'rat.

VAE:<font color="#000000">yeah, go wild with apostrophes

VAE:<font color="#000000">like D'rat D'li'lfucker

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">&quot;Coming, Miron?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt looks over to Thomas. &quot;I suppose that's likely, isn't it? While it's not important to decide right now, I was thinking we could just have the Palm or someone else come down here and deal with these things themselves.

Meany:<font color="#666666">FOR THE LOVE OF DEAR GOD, pause.

Miron:<font color="#000000">Miron follows, still keepin an eye on the zombies

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

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">Oop

Meany:<font color="#666666">x-x

Meany:<font color="#666666">Been locked out for the better part of...since last I impersonated Sszeyl.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Are you up to date now?

Meany:<font color="#666666">Yep.

Meany:<font color="#666666">Fortunately, for all the beeps.

Meany:<font color="#666666">Y'all didn't do much. :B

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( Sorry for the caps, I'm good. &gt;&gt;; ))

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Did you get the Will save results?

TMG:<font color="#000000">wait, was I supposed to get anything?

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( Lagging again ))

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Sszeyl was the only one who should have gotten anything.

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( It's near-constant now. :. But yes. ))

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( Got the results. :B ))

* Sszeyl sharply whistles.

* Smoke perks up his ears!

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">&quot;We're being watched. &gt;&gt;&quot;

Kor:<font color="#6600CC">OW QUIT THAT

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">His master also sharply turns at the whistle.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt glances back. &quot;Pardon?&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#6600CC">Tathi looks over. &quot;How so?&quot;

Teeny Rin:<font color="#000000">&gt;.&gt;

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">&quot;Instinct. &gt;&gt;&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">x3

Miron:<font color="#000000">Watched?

Tathi:<font color="#6600CC">&quot;Paranoid drow in other words.&quot; Tathi says, smirking.

Miron:<font color="#000000">*suddenly a LOT more alert*

* Thomas Lazarus raises his brows and looks about.

* Flint Carthan looks back into the ballroom at the zombies.

Miron:<font color="#000000">Magical or proper?

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">&quot;I walked with an enchanter, I -know- there are magical ways to snoop. &gt;&gt;&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">&#171; &#160;1d20+3 = 12 + 3 = 15&#160; <font color="#666666">&#187; Knowledge Arcana check.

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( For knowledge on the Divination school of magic. :U ))

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Oh, let me see if there's something you might know.

Tathi:<font color="#6600CC">Then Tathi raises her eyebrows. &quot;You mean scrying then?&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Of course, you do have someone in the party who has divination as a focus. :B

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">&quot;Perhaps....or hiding thine self, or locale with illusions.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">*bleep*ing *bleep*.

Miron:<font color="#000000">Richter would be of use here.

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">but he's stuck guarding the prisoners

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">Too bad we have him on being eaten duty.

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

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

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( Prsioner. Singular. :B ))

Tathi:<font color="#6600CC">&quot;Elros, why don't you go guard the prisoner, and tell Richter to come up here?&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">I meant Tathi. XD

Ghostwish:<font color="#6600CC">botcommand - guard

Tathi:<font color="#6600CC">Who? What? Me? I'm an evocationist! :P

VAE:<font color="#000000">Tathi is forcused on evocations

Richter Malino:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+3 = 6 + 3 = 9&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; Listen on this conversation. &gt;.&gt;

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

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">It feels terrible how often we have afk Elros go guard our prisoners... x3

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( He's secretly a torturer. &gt;&gt; ))

Elros:<font color="#000000">Elros gingerly steps through the dancing zombies... which pay him absolutely no mind whatsoever.

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( Lag! :U ))

VAE:<font color="#000000">tech, check IRC

Richter Malino:<font color="#000000">And Richter is sent back, just as carefully tiptoeing through the zombie field.

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">Searching, searching...

VAE:<font color="#000000">an awesome flying sphere robot

Richter Malino:<font color="#000000">&quot;What is it? Elros said something about divination...?&quot;

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( Search is Int, right? :o ))

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

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">&#171; &#160;1d20+2 = 15 + 2 = 17&#160; <font color="#666666">&#187; Int check!

Miron:<font color="#000000">Some *bleep* is scrying on us

Liatai:<font color="#000000">You notice nothing out of the ordinary.

Tathi:<font color="#6600CC">&#171; &#160;1d20+floor((intelligence-10)/2) = 12 + floor((19 - 10) / 2) = 16&#160; <font color="#6600CC">&#187; intelligence check! An assist to Sszeyl.

Miron:<font color="#000000">That is, if the Drow isn't mistaken, but in these circumstances it's plausible

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( Up to 19, that result is! ))

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Still nothing.

TMG:<font color="#000000">I assume Bless and Dark Knowledge are no longer active?

VAE:<font color="#000000">DK might b

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Yeah. Bless dissipated a long time ago. ^^;

VAE:<font color="#000000">it applies to an enemy type

VAE:<font color="#000000">but then, how likely we meet another minotaur, eh?

* Thomas Lazarus frowns strongly while looking around over the others. His gaze eventually wanders back to the doors ahead.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;..Well. Correct me if I'm wrong. But,&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;If someone is watching us, we either can't do a thing about it, or they lie ahead and can only use our worrying to prepare.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">&quot;This is true.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">&quot;Shall we? :U&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">Correct

Miron:<font color="#000000">We have no good choice but to advance quickly

* Thomas Lazarus draws out his blade once more with a quiet nod.

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">Ninja o'er the gnomes. :u

Richter Malino:<font color="#000000">&quot;True enough. If we're facing a spellcaster... I'll come along.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus marches down the hallway upon hearing all that.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Well, there goes my lan of listening to the door to see what's on the other side..&quot; Gnogglebolt double-checks all his items, and gets his crossbow ready. &quot;Let's go.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">&#171; &#160;1d20+3 = 17 + 3 = 20&#160; <font color="#666666">&#187; Strength check!

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">To assist Tom. :3

Liatai:<font color="#000000">The door doesn't need a Strength check to open. In fact, one moment.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">When everyone seems ready, Tom braces up his shield before pushing the door open with his sword arm.

TMG:<font color="#000000">'assist'? That should be the main. And it's unlocked anyway. :B

Liatai:<font color="#000000">You may have just wrecked the hinges. Let me check. :B

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">x3

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">Or, he tries to use the handle before Sszeyl authority-kicks the door in.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Yeah you just broke down the door. XD

* Ghostwish whaps Meany for the random rolls. &quot;See what it gets us?&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#6600CC">&quot;That was.. less than brilliant.&quot;

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( Hilarity? :B ))

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">It's cool, everyone just put on shades.

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

GM:<font color="#000000">The door goes flying into the hallway on the other side.

Fat Cat:<font color="#000000">And a cat YOWLS!

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">&quot;That...looked heavier than it was.&quot;

Kor:<font color="#6600CC">KILL IT.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Says the man who knocked otu a gnoll with a cart.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">&quot;That was an Accident. :/&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus steps into the corridor and looks around quickly

Smoke:<font color="#000000">CAT! :O

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">&#171; &#160;1d20+5 = 13 + 5 = 18&#160; <font color="#666666">&#187; Spot check!

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

Fat Cat:<font color="#000000">The cat is one big white poofball. O.O

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt looks over at the sound of the meow. &quot;Oh, there's the cat.&quot;

Smoke:<font color="#000000">Catcatcatcatcat -- :O

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">&quot;And Elros would be good here. :B

Miron:<font color="#000000">A cat/ Here?

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...what's that it's dragging? That...does not seem normal behavior for a cat--Smoke!&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">&quot;Flint...&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#6600CC">&quot;Paranoid says detain it. But common sense says just leave it alone.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">Someone's familiar, perhaps

Tathi:<font color="#6600CC">*paranoia

Fat Cat:<font color="#000000">It does indeed seem to be dragging a white rucksack... and as soon as it sees you, it starts up a plaintive meowing.

Miron:<font color="#000000">Means it probably can cast spells...

* Smoke stops. And growls. &gt;:E

Tathi:<font color="#6600CC">&quot;Odd.. if it was an enemy's familiar, it would high tail it.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#6600CC">&quot;Did anyone come in here before us?&quot;

Fat Cat:<font color="#000000">&quot;Meowwwww! Meowwwww!&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">The

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">&quot;...What the hell?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;No clue. Just leave it for now, but someone keep watching it.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">Flint, Sonya and Robin.. the Mace patrol, wasn't it?

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">&quot;I'm suddenly compelled to pick that cat up, and act as if it was an injured baby.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Don't let it out of our sight.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;..D'aaawww it's terrified.&quot; D: Tathi:<font color="#6600CC">Tathi squints. &quot;No, wait.. someone is back there.&quot;

Fat Cat:<font color="#000000">The cat hops up onto the rucksack and meows louder.

Miron:<font color="#000000">But i don' t think thehy got this far.

Miron:<font color="#000000">It might be trying to lure us

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt peeks into this room. Anything mobile?

Miron:<font color="#000000">Be careful!

Tathi:<font color="#6600CC">Tathi, stillw atching the cat, carefully goes and gets the bag. What's in it?

Richter Malino:<font color="#000000">&quot;No, they only reported getting close to the entrance of the tomb...&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">Until we know what it is, it's more dangerous than an enemy.

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">The drow strides up beside her. :U

Fat Cat:<font color="#000000">Hsss!

Tathi:<font color="#6600CC">&quot;Miron, stop being a scardey cat.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">SEE?

Fat Cat:<font color="#000000">The cat swats at you as you try to touch the rucksack.

Miron:<font color="#000000">It hissed!

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">&quot;Corpse.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">&quot;In that room.&quot;

Chained Woman:<font color="#000000">&quot;Is someone out there?!&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus blinks rapidly.

* Thomas Lazarus storms forward past the cat.

Tathi:<font color="#6600CC">Tathi stops trying to go for the sack. &quot;I thought so.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...what?&quot; Gnogglebolt looks up from the crack he's peeking through, and rushes to join the others.

* Tathi and watches as Sszeyl phases through the door.

Miron:<font color="#000000">*bleep*.. there's corpses.. and someone alive.

* Thomas Lazarus releases a held breath.

Miron:<font color="#000000">Come... and hold your noses.

Chained Woman:<font color="#000000">&quot;-- Oh thank the gods! It IS someone! And not a Sargano...&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...oh no...not again...&quot; Gnogglebolt says, as he crosses the threshold with the others.

VAE:<font color="#000000">now i see why ou were looking up masochists

Chained Woman:<font color="#000000">&quot;Help, please! Let me out of here!&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">the woman has such a happy expression for being chained

TMG:<font color="#000000">Also. I just can't help it.

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">&quot;Five seconds until she notices me...four...three...&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">Inquisitor Steelsprocket of the Leaden Mace, miss.

TMG:<font color="#000000">&quot;SHe's chained up and smiling EIther this is some kind of kinky game or you're in for a world of hurt. What do you do?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">You are in good hands.

Tathi:<font color="#6600CC">Tathi comes in, and gives a disgusted sneer at the rest of the room. &quot;Lovely, typical necromancer handy work.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">Sargano has been arrested.

Ghostwish:<font color="#6600CC">&quot;Join in and MAKE it a kinky game!&quot;

Chained Woman:<font color="#000000">&quot;P-Pamela Lundy... Did Rulby find you?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">&quot;Your cat?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">Untie her, Thomas.

* Thomas Lazarus approaches and stoops down to examine the woman's bindings. A set of manacles, presumably?

Pamela Lundy:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yes! I sent him to go get my pack from where those foul people stashed it -- before they got back.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt rushes over and starts fiddling with the chains. If they're locked, he pulls otu his tools and starts cutting the chains apart.

* Sszeyl sharply whistles.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Yep, a set of manacles.

Tathi:<font color="#6600CC">&quot;A trained cat?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">Ah.. *smiles uneasily* He.. we almost thought he was a necromancers' pet

Kor:<font color="#6600CC">STOP DOING THAT! &gt;XO

Fat Cat:<font color="#000000">Umph! Huff. Puff. Meow!

* Dr. Hatari leaves the technical work to someone who knows what they're doing.

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">&quot;What's this we stuff, Miron.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus nods shallowly.

Tathi:<font color="#6600CC">Tathi picks up the sack, cat fits or no, and brings it over.

Pamela Lundy:<font color="#000000">&quot;My familiar.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">We. The sane, experienced and non-suicidal ones around.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Craft, taking 10,, minimum 10+8=18

Pamela Lundy:<font color="#000000">&quot;Did you find any of the others?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;Don't worry. Louis Sargano is in custody and his unliving agents are being destroyed.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">Others? No... asides from the dead ones here.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;..I'm afraid you're only the second living person we've found here.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">&quot;...There was another room at the end of the hall.&quot;

Pamela Lundy:<font color="#000000">&quot;It's been awful -- they only just now came in and killed these three -- and they took two others away...&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#6600CC">&quot;They could be elsewhere, perhaps.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">&quot;I'll take Flint and check it out.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">Only Sargano and you are truly alive in this place.

Pamela Lundy:<font color="#000000">The chains fall away.

Pamela Lundy:<font color="#000000">&quot;Which Sargano?&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus pauses.

Miron:<font color="#000000">Luis Sargano. An old man.

Tathi:<font color="#6600CC">Tathi hands her the sack, and then heads back outside.

Miron:<font color="#000000">Are there more of them?

* Thomas Lazarus knits his brow.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;..The scrying.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">Did you see any other Sarganos here?

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;We should move.&quot;

Pamela Lundy:<font color="#000000">&quot;Three more, yes. They just took two people south...&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#6600CC">She calls back to the others. &quot;We are looking for a family, remember?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">I KNEW IT

Miron:<font color="#000000">Their whole family had to be rotten

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt's eyes widen. Thomas was right. &quot;Go, everyone! Go now! To the last room! Quickly!&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">&quot;Flint, Malino, we have reason to suspect other survivors are present somewhere.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">Someone honest just doesn't build a place like this.. Secrecy is the first resort of the scoundrel.

* Sszeyl whistles sharply.

Pamela Lundy:<font color="#000000">The woman quickly rummages through the rucksack as soon as her hands are free, bringing out a myriad of spell components and a rapier with delicate white filigree on the hilt. &quot;Wait -- wait! You're not going to leave me here, are you?!&quot;

Pamela Lundy:<font color="#000000">&quot;I can help!&quot;

Kor:<font color="#6600CC">AUUUGH! &gt;XO

Miron:<font color="#000000">Come along then.

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">&quot;Bring her!&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;Of course not.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">&quot;Tom, need you over here!&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">But, you are valuable on your own.. as a witness.

Tathi:<font color="#6600CC">&quot;Sszeyl, stop whistling please, we can hear you just fine, and it's driving Kor mad.

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">&quot;Locked door needs to be taught better! :/&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt looks back. &quot;Er, well, if you want to help, okay!&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Sszeyl, roll a Listen check.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">Heal check on the recent prisoner. &#171; &#160;1d20+8 = 13 + 8 = 21&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Miron:<font color="#000000">You must not come to harm.. what you have seen might give *all* of the scum the hempen neckties they deserve

Liatai:<font color="#000000">One moment.

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">&#171; &#160;1d20+5 = 6 + 5 = 11&#160; <font color="#666666">&#187; Listen check!

Ghostwish:<font color="#6600CC">turn your head and cough, thomas? :P

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">Ahahah, a pack of excited PCs. Poor Liatai.

GM whisper to Thomas Lazarus: This is odd. She doesn't seem to have any signs of rope burns, marks from the chains, anything.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Anyone approaching the southern door, make a Listen check.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt, likewise, starts listening at the door too. Listen: &#171; &#160;1d20+2 = 4 + 2 = 6&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;, since there's probably not enough time for 20

Miron:<font color="#000000">Argh, Flint! *gets up*

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">However, he continues to listen. (retry when you say)

Miron:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+7 = 3 + 7 = 10&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; Listen

* Thomas Lazarus is quiet for a moment. &quot;..Well. You seem to be alright. I'm afraid we have no time to get you back to the surface; someone just cast a scrying on us, moments ago. Please, stay behind us.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus nods to the woman and marches south.

VAE:<font color="#000000">argh, only 8

VAE:<font color="#000000">it's +5

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Rety on listen while waiting for the rest of the party to arrive: &#171; &#160;1d20+2 = 17 + 2 = 19&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

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

GM whisper: One voice is raised in a chant, trying to be heard over the others; a woman. &quot;Lord, we sacrifice these souls to your eternal service --&quot; Only to be interrupted by another woman shouting &quot;Lo maledico! Maggio la vostra famiglia be &#232; staccata dall'interno ed all'esterno allo stesso tempo!&quot; and a Dwarven prayer in a male voice -- &quot;All-Father, burn the vestiges of undeath from my flesh as you shape my soul anew...&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">&quot;THOMAS.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">&quot;GET YOUR WHITE ASS OVER HERE, NOW!&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh crap, we have to stop them! No time to break it down, move!&quot; Gnogglebolt starts pulling some stuff out of his pack.

Player &quot;Sszeyl&quot; is not connected.Miron:<font color="#000000">You will address my brothers properly. bloody drow.

GM whisper: Another male voice is heard -- &quot;Lord, can't you make them shut up -- what was that?&quot;

Ghostwish:<font color="#6600CC">Best answer: &quot;Are you telling me his ass is a different color? Do you admire it enough to know this?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">He pulls some scrap metal and what looks like a piece of string out of his pack....

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Craft check to crush the metal into a simple shell: &#171; &#160;1d20+8 = 16 + 8 = 24&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Miron:<font color="#000000">Brother Thomas isn't your slave or whatever you keep in that underground holes of yours

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">&quot;Miron, for once in your miserable life, ''shut the hell up! :/&quot;''

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">&quot;Miron, is this the best time for this?!&quot; Flint growls.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Ghostwish.. but well, miron is more pissed than clever in this time.

* Thomas Lazarus had been mutely lingering at the other room's theshold, until Pamela came through. Apparently, he's unwilling to let random endangered civilians go abandoned.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Success, I presume?

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">He then pulls out the powder horn, the same one the others saw him pouring black stuff into the blunderbuss (in goes one ounce)

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">He jams the thing into one of the door hinges, and pulls out a flint and steel, and starts flicking sparks at the string...no, not string. Fuse.

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">&quot;Thomas, whatever anti-necromancer magic you have, prepare it now. :U&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">&quot;They're sacrificing in there.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus flinches.

Miron:<font color="#000000">It is the best time for someone who can't recognise priorities.. like making sure the witness we have found is alive and well.

Tathi:<font color="#6600CC">Tathi peers at Gnogglebolt's workings.. and when she realizes what he's doing, her eyes widen, and she quickly scampers down the hallway!

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Once lit... &quot;Everyoe, get down!&quot; Gongglebolt drops to the fllor, covers his head, and gets his crossbow ready.

GM whisper: The chanting woman's voice -- &quot;Royce, if their talking bothers you so much, shut up and let me finish.&quot;

* Sszeyl gets down.

Miron:<font color="#000000">*prepares holy water, just in case*

Miron:<font color="#000000">*lies down*

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">And the results, Liatai?

Tathi:<font color="#6600CC">Tathi readies an action to fireball any large groups of enemy, or targets lacking, use her wand to peck at the first available target.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Roll damage for a gunpowder explosion. :3

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;Alright...&quot; Thomas closes his eyes and braces his shield while muttering a quiet prayer. Perhaps amidst a gunpowder explosion, but still. He casts Bull's Strength, and sweeps a gauntlet to Sszeyl's shoulder.

Miron:<font color="#000000">Hold your cat!

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">Ready action to get up off the ground quickly. ;U

TMG:<font color="#000000">oh, damage? I just stuck the thing in the hinge, specifically. Not the door itself. That can't have more than a few HP. :B

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">Suddenly, the Drow Hulk's out.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Roll it anyway. :B

Ghostwish:<font color="#6600CC">eh heh, actually

TMG:<font color="#000000">and I don't know damage for an oucne of gunpowder off the top of my head anyway

Ghostwish:<font color="#6600CC">hinges have quite a bit of HP.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">Sszeyl's strength improves by +4 for 5 minutes.

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( What's a 23's mod bonus? :B ))

Ghostwish:<font color="#6600CC">They're often tougher than the doors, sadly. XD

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">+6

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( Awwwwww, yeah. ))

VAE:<font color="#000000">silly owl. +4 points means +2 to modifier oyu have now

VAE:<font color="#000000">all you need to know

Ghostwish:<font color="#6600CC">10 hardness, 30 HP. Hinge.

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( Ah, right, dang. ))

Pamela Lundy:<font color="#000000">&quot;-- Okay -- what is he doing?&quot;

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

TMG:<font color="#000000">That's...absurd.

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( Got my math wrong. ))

Ghostwish:<font color="#6600CC">Page 61 of the DMG.

VAE:<font color="#000000">That *is* absurd

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( It's 21, not 23. :B ))

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( Now, if it was +6. ;U ))

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( If onlu. ))

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">Well, you still have +5 mod.

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">only too

TMG:<font color="#000000">Eh. It's all up to GM-fiat at this point anyway, since like I said, there's not really damage for just 'an ounce of gunpowder'

Ghostwish:<font color="#6600CC">Okay, who here has tried to break a hinge before?

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( TMG. ))

VAE:<font color="#000000">Hinges are metallic

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( Please roll the dice. ^^ ))

Ghostwish:<font color="#6600CC">I can tell you right now.. It is easier to go through the door.

VAE:<font color="#000000">But it very much depends on the type of door

Liatai:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;2d6-2 = 12 - 2 = 10&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Ghostwish:<font color="#6600CC">Right. A wooden door? Ignore the hinge.

VAE:<font color="#000000">*nods*

TMG:<font color="#000000">I have no dice to roll! I didn't make a 'real' bomb in normal rules!

Ghostwish:<font color="#6600CC">A stone door? I'd still ignore the hinge.

VAE:<font color="#000000">for a wooden door it works

Ghostwish:<font color="#6600CC">An iron door? Okay now Im thinking about that hinge.

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( This is looking like an IRC discussion. ))

TMG:<font color="#000000">I just tried to use creative application of materials on hand

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( :B ))

VAE:<font color="#000000">but then, if you can cut the hinge

Liatai:<font color="#000000">This is a stone door... and it made a nice BANG, but the door is only slightly shaken.

VAE:<font color="#000000">besides he's trying to blow a hole there

* Sszeyl rolls up. &gt;:/

VAE:<font color="#000000">he's making a hole in the door, just in the place where the hinge sinks in

* Thomas Lazarus furrows his brow.

VAE:<font color="#000000">owl, what's sszeyl 's strenght without bonus?

Royce Sargano:<font color="#000000">&quot;I -told- you I heard something!&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;Plan B.&quot; Strength check to assist Sszeyl.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Geargrit, I was hoping for more. But it's weakened, break it down the rest of the way!&quot;

Nina Sargano:<font color="#000000">&quot;Shut up, Royce, and move!&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+4 = 2 + 4 = 6&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">Drat. x3

VAE:<font color="#000000">owl?

TMG:<font color="#000000">that's a fail even at assisting. :B

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">&#171; &#160;1d20+5 = 6 + 5 = 11&#160; <font color="#666666">&#187; Strength.

VAE:<font color="#000000">what's his strength before the spell?

VAE:<font color="#000000">or strenght modifier

Liatai:<font color="#000000">No luck currently. Try again!

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">17?

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">Seems inertia is not my friend, after standing up too fast. x-x

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">&#171; &#160;1d20+5 = 3 + 5 = 8&#160; <font color="#666666">&#187; Str~

VAE:<font color="#000000">that's why i ask

VAE:<font color="#000000">for some eason i was thinking it ws 19

Ghostwish:<font color="#6600CC">stop failing! XD

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+4 = 13 + 4 = 17&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( Good mod, bad roll. :B ))

Ghostwish:<font color="#6600CC">Anyway, I was just pointing out.. hinges are not a weak point of a door. XP

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( Discuss it in the IRC please? ))

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( :/ ))

Karla Sargano:<font color="#000000">&quot;-- Where was I -- to your service, as you wll take ours to --&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">depends what you do.. an explosion spreads into free space

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">so to blow up a part of the door.. near the hinges isn't such a bad place

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">&quot;You mispronounced that word, witch! :U&quot;

Ghostwish:<font color="#6600CC">VAE, hush. Take it to IRC.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">Okay

Drayco:<font color="#660099">Hmmm... No Railock...

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">&quot;Wll is not an acceptable necromactic phrase!&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Okay! Roll an attack roll, add half your Str bonus on top of it, and subtrack 4.

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( Huh? ))

VAE:<font color="#000000">you use 1.5 your str mod

Karla Sargano:<font color="#000000">&quot;--!!!&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#6600CC">Tathi is still giggling.

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

Karla Sargano:<font color="#000000">I think anyone who isn't superhuman would lose their concentration after being ''decked with a freaking pew. XD''

VAE:<font color="#000000">This reminds me of the comic

Ghostwish:<font color="#6600CC">XD!!!

TMG:<font color="#000000">concentration from damage is 10+damage taken, right?

VAE:<font color="#000000">you know, the gun firing guns

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">It's his second shot, silly. The first shot deafened Tom. :B

Miron:<font color="#000000">Miron looks at the altar once more whispers a few words and his hand is enveloped in a dark glow (Converted a level 3 slot to Inflict Serious wounds)

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( Which makes you a fair bit better than most of our archers. ))

TMG:<font color="#000000">I -was- going to go after Royce.

Teeny Rin:<font color="#666666">Pounce!

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">Too bad you're not real, you might have given me a flanking bonus. &quot;Smoke! Sic 'em!&quot; Flint practically leaps over the gnomes and delivers a rapier strike! &#171; &#160;1d20+8 = 6 + 8 = 14&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; for &#171;  &#160;1d6+2 = 1 + 2 = 3&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;!

Royce Sargano:<font color="#000000">Or at least, attempts to. The man dodged that just as easily.

Ghostwish:<font color="#6600CC">diplomacy is a standard action, isn't it?

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">I think it lists the action it takes, but it actually requires a fairly large amount of time.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">Let's see.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">Check You can change the attitudes of others (nonplayer characters) with a successful Diplomacy check; see the Influencing NPC Attitudes sidebar, below, for basic DCs. In negotiations, participants roll opposed Diplomacy checks, and the winner gains the advantage. Opposed checks also resolve situations when two advocates or diplomats plead opposite cases in a hearing before a third party. See also: epic usages of Diplomacy. Action Changing others&#8217; attitudes with Diplomacy generally takes at least 1 full minute (10 consecutive full-round actions). In some situations, this time requirement may greatly increase. A rushed Diplomacy check can be made as a full-round action, but you take a -10 penalty on the check.

TMG:<font color="#000000">actually, as far as I know, diplomacy ususally takes several minutes

* Karla Sargano wipes blood from her face. &quot;-- How -- how --&quot; She glares at the drow, brandishing the symbol of Nerull, and yells sharply. &quot;Put that down!&quot;

Karla Sargano:<font color="#000000">Will save, Sszeyl.

Ghostwish:<font color="#6600CC">Dangit.

TMG:<font color="#000000">because we do so much more roleplaying, we kinda fudge that out of the way

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">Mm.

TMG:<font color="#000000">It's up to the DM, depending on what you're trying to do.

TMG:<font color="#000000">We known and acknowledge we're not using diplomacy RAW, but that's okay. It even says under the deep immersion storytelling style that rules aren't as important, and you can fudge things as much as you want.

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

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">A rushed 1-round &quot;diplomacy&quot; would technically just need to be relegated to RP. Or a check at -10. Choose your weapon, and all that. Seems clear cut winner is the former.

TMG:<font color="#000000">Well, you could technically do that for a kick-in-the-door game, since it's always the grou';s game and you can do whatever you want, but any group who normally -plays- that style would just wind up arguing over who can munchkin the best. ^^;

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( LAG ))

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">Don't really follow your meaning. I was just pasting the rule he asked for. :P

Liatai:<font color="#000000">The tip is on fire.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">It only just caught fire. ^^;

Meany:<font color="#666666">ALso, I wonder what action it would be to drop it on her foot.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">VAE: You just missed Gnogglebolt hunkering back to reload.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Free. Dropping an object is a free action. XD

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Though to drop it on her foot... that's an attack.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">So standard. Final answer. :3

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Miron's turn VAE.

Karla Sargano:<font color="#000000">Nope, you're still shaken for a round.

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( What actions can I take while shaken? ))

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">Shaken is just a debuff. You may take any action.

TMG:<font color="#000000">just a -2 to about everything

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">Shaken: May fight at -2 on all attack rolls, saving throws, skill checks, and ability checks.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">Thanks, Mariusnotes.

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( Thankee. :3 ))

VAE:<font color="#000000">incidentally that just cancels off the +2 strenght buff

VAE:<font color="#000000">in terms of attack power

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">Damage is still good.

Nina Sargano:<font color="#000000">The woman sidesteps the cleric, sweeping the blade of the scythe around in a low arc! &#171; &#160;1d20+10 = 4 + 10 = 14&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; for &#171;  &#160;2d4+5 = 4 + 5 = 9&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; damage!

Nina Sargano:<font color="#000000">The woman's robes are beginning to burn away, revealing a suit of blackened armor beneath.

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( Nein. ))

VAE:<font color="#000000">He was so insane, insigths like this happened without questioning

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">I checked.

VAE:<font color="#000000">he could literally have his skull tell him soemthing like that and it was believable, because most stuff he got told was rubbish

Liatai:<font color="#000000">She did tell you her name. x3

VAE:<font color="#000000">and the ocassional gem of truth and knowledge

Nina Sargano:<font color="#000000">The woman is hit with one, and is barely standing, a snarl on her lips as she leans on her scythe... only to be knocked on the shoulder by the second missile, spun around like a top, and crumpling.

Thomas Lazarus has received initiative.VAE:<font color="#000000">Pamela trying to murder someone with the happy facial expression is scary

Tathi:<font color="#6600CC">&quot;Sweet dreams, princess.&quot; Tathi says, and then mutters a very vulgar little curse under her breath in elven. &quot;Rotten bitch.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus lowers his guard slightly as the woman falls.

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( Anyone remember the Giggling Villain Trope? :B ))

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">Heh. Well, I can't really blame her. And we are a little beyond-practically nice to people.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">We'll see what happens.

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( She and Tom will wed. ))

Pamela Lundy:<font color="#000000">&quot;He would have killed all of us without a second thought,&quot; she says in reply, still watching the man on the floor and steadying her rapier.

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( And have beautiful bebbehs. ))

Miron:<font color="#000000">He'll get hanged *anyways*

Miron:<font color="#000000">But in public, after a proper trial.

Pamela Lundy:<font color="#000000">&quot;What's the difference?&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus hefts himself atop the altar with a grunt and long stride, and throws an open palm out towards Karla Sargano. (Discharging Light of Lunia. RTA #1 &#171; &#160;1d20+4 = 12 + 4 = 16&#160;  &#187; RTA #2 &#171;  &#160;1d20+4 = 8 + 4 = 12&#160;  &#187;)

Miron:<font color="#000000">The difference is that the letter of the law will be followed, and his death will strike fear into those who'd seek to do as he did.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d6 = 2&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; and &#171;  &#160;1d6 = 3&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; damage should either hit.

Miron:<font color="#000000">Besides, he might have some more information, after all. They all will be... questioned.

Karla Sargano:<font color="#000000">Both solidly hit!

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">The golden will-o-wisps surrounding Thomas up to this point suddenly tremble, narrow, and rocket into Karla's torso with concussive force. The room suddenly dims dramatically.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Stop chattering and focus!&quot; Gnogglebolt barks at the others.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">Done.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Still one more!&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Nice, thank ye kindly. :3

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">There's also fighting defensively, for +2 dodge and -2(?) to attack.

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

Tathi:<font color="#6600CC">&quot;Flint, kindly make sure we do not have any more accidently executions.&quot;

Sacrificial Dwarf:<font color="#000000">&quot;Never thought I'd see the day where I'd be happy to see a dark elf.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;I feel the same way you do. But we need to have these people interrogated by the Aureate Palm before they can be allowed justice.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">Indeed, Thomas.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;It could keep this from happening again, somewhere else.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus frowns and stoops down to stop Karla's bleeding.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">Orison pop. 1 point healed.

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">&quot;Thank you.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">To the Dwarf.

TMG:<font color="#000000">whoa, wait a sec

Miron:<font color="#000000">*smiles* You are a member for less than a week yet you begin to think like an inquisitor.

* Dr. Hatari rolls eyes.

TMG:<font color="#000000">why did Thomas stop Karla's bleeding?

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">Chain break.

TMG:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt just said don't do that. :B

VAE:<font color="#000000">To make her not die?

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">The same reason we ever take a prisoner.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Because Gnogglebolt isn't a supreme authority

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">He's a member of the Leaden Mace now.

TMG:<font color="#000000">we've already got one, and he's gonna be more cooperative...

TMG:<font color="#000000">but eh

VAE:<font color="#000000">If he changed his name to pelor.. that'd have some grounds

TMG:<font color="#000000">fine, IC

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">We have heretics to incarcerate.

Sacrificial Human:<font color="#000000">&quot;Per favore, rompa le mie catene, anche!&quot; the woman had called over to the drow... then held still as the chains were broken.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Leverage, tech, leverage

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">They could know things.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt looks back at Thomas. &quot;...wait, what did you just do?&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">If someone doesn't break whe you torture him.. torture those he loves

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">&quot;Tathi, Richter.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;I thought we weren't going to save them?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">He did his duty.

* Thomas Lazarus mutters, somewhat venemously. &quot;I saved her life.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#6600CC">&quot;Sszeyl.&quot;

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

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">&quot;Can either of you use spells to speak with this woman?&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus hauls Karla upright and throws her over his shoulder.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt rubs his forehead. Oh well.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">You should have control over her, Hatari.

Tathi:<font color="#6600CC">&quot;I, sadly, do not possess such a spell.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">Now... i don't want these coming into contact with zombies down the hall.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;She isn't dead. It's my duty to wring her for all she's worth before that changes.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">Or this bloody altar.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;I trust you haven't forgotten the last time we found prisoners.&quot;

Sacrificial Human:<font color="#000000">The woman stands, rubbing her wrists... then bows. &quot;Grazie. Avete mio ringraziamento eterno. Avevo pensato per sicuro che stessimo circa per morire...&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">&quot;Are either of you injured?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt sighs. &quot;Fine, very well.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">Let's take them tothe other room.

Miron:<font color="#000000">There are a few cages, even

* Thomas Lazarus nods at that. It's all he wanted. He does *not* seem happy, either.

Ghostwish:<font color="#6600CC">COMMON MOTHERFUCKER DO YOU SPEAK IT!?

Ghostwish:<font color="#6600CC">Sorry, couldn't resist XD

Sacrificial Dwarf:<font color="#000000">&quot;Where did you all come from?&quot;

* Sszeyl returns the bow.

Sacrificial Dwarf:<font color="#000000">The dwarf and the human clearly both bear wounds and show signs of ill treatment.

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">&quot;A joint effort by two Adventurer's Guilds.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt looks to the dwarf and the female human, gesturing for the benefit of the human, who doesn't seem to speak the common tongue. &quot;Come on, this way, we'll get you out of here.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">&quot;The Leaden Mace, and Vigilant Guardians.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">Search!

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">:U

* Thomas Lazarus glances over his shoulder, noting that the prisoners are in good hands.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;What's your name?&quot; Gnogglebolt asks the dwarf, hoping to take his mind off of the experience he just had.

Miron:<font color="#000000">Wait, they might recognise...

Sacrificial Human:<font color="#000000">&quot;Che cosa? Sono spiacente, io non parlo la vostra lingua...&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#6600CC">&#171; &#160;1d20+floor((intelligence-10)/2) = 5 + floor((19 - 10) / 2) = 9&#160; <font color="#6600CC">&#187; search check!

Miron:<font color="#000000">*shows his badge to the woman nearby* Who knows, their city might have an outlet 

* Sszeyl tries speaking to the woman in Elven, Dwarven, and Undercommon. Just to try. &gt;&gt;

Tathi:<font color="#6600CC">Actually, I'm just going to focus Tathi here. She's all over those bookshelves like I tried to make her do earlier.

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">Does she understand any of them?

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">Heh

VAE:<font color="#000000">is it cheating if i actually understand a part of what they say?

Sacrificial Dwarf:<font color="#000000">&quot;Relnok,&quot; the dwarf groans, stretching as he gets off the altar. &quot;We owe you our lives for what you all have done here.&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">Liatai, can I get a quick approximation of Nina and Karla's weights?

Miron:<font color="#000000">It was our duty as members of Leaden Mace Society.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">If you give me a few minutes to get dialogue sorted, sure.

Miron:<font color="#000000">And.. some helpers of course.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">'Course. ^^;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt nods to the dwarf. &quot;Just taking these horrible people out is good enough, what we set out to do.&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">About 170-190 pounds for each. They're both in full plate.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">He then looks to the woman.

Sacrificial Human:<font color="#000000">The woman doesn't seem to understand, but she does ask the drow a question. &quot;Siete uno di noi?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Name?&quot; He says in a questioning tone. He points to himself and says &quot;Gnogglebolt.&quot; He then points to her, and gives her an inquisitive expression.

Sacrificial Human:<font color="#000000">&quot;Gnog... lebolt?&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#6600CC">Tathi giggles, overhearing the conversation. &quot;Gnogly Bolt. It's official.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">&quot;Someone go see if the Dancers are still dancing?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt chuckles, and mutters 'close enough' under his bearth. More directly to her, he nods emphatically, pointing to himself and saying his name again, before pointing to her again.

* Thomas Lazarus watches the exchange with the prisoners a bit blankly for a moment.

GM:<font color="#000000">A careful search of the environs will revel a quintet of scrolls, as well as a hefty bag containing 1,000 GP worth of black onyx chunks. Five bags of 25 GP worth of silver dust can be found behind the altar.

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">&quot;So we can perhaps avoid giving these people further trauma.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">&quot;Scrolls.&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">Recorded.

* Sszeyl hands them to Tathi.

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">&quot;Dust.&quot;

* Sszeyl hands them to Tom.

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">Gems.

Tathi:<font color="#6600CC">Tathi has a quick glance through them. Any spells she recognizes?

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">Tom is occupied. :P

* Sszeyl hands them to himself. =3=

Sacrificial Human:<font color="#000000">The woman... pulls down a corner of her skirt?

* Sszeyl facepalms.

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">where was he searching?

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt just looks at her with confusion.

* Thomas Lazarus is a bit poker-face.

Sacrificial Human:<font color="#000000">&quot;Nome segreto. Farfalla.&quot; She pauses, then taps her bared hip. There's a tattoo there of a swallowtail butterfly. &quot;Swallowtail.&quot;

* VAE is reminded of an exceptionally filthy joke

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">&quot;Why does that seem familiar. :.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus strides over and gathers Nina up by the gorget of her armor. &quot;Ms. Pamela.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;Would you kindly follow me?&quot;

Sacrificial Human:<font color="#000000">&quot;Capite?&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">would Knowledge local apply?

Pamela Lundy:<font color="#000000">&quot;Me?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yes ma'am.&quot;

Pamela Lundy:<font color="#000000">&quot;I'd rather find out what they did with Mr. Giggles first.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt tries to see if he has it right. Fist, he once more points to himself, saying his own name. Then he points to the womand, and asks &quot;Swallowtail?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">*woman

* Thomas Lazarus is phased.

Tathi:<font color="#6600CC">Did Tathi recognize any of the scrolls?

Miron:<font color="#000000">Mr. Giggles?

* Sszeyl picks up the non-on fire pew.

Miron:<font color="#000000">Who the hell is that?

Pamela Lundy:<font color="#000000">&quot;My companion! They took him away from me when they brought me down here...&quot;

Royce Sargano:<font color="#000000">&quot;She's lying! We never --&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">&quot;Load anything from the shelvves you want on here. If any of the prisoners need to sit down and enjoy a ride for a bit, they can hop on. :3&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">&quot;There is one more room of chests to search.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">Your... companion? Another cat?

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

Miron:<font color="#000000">Fucking heretic, you speak when we ask you.

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">She nods.

Ghostwish:<font color="#6600CC">just out of curiousity, are we ending this anytime soon? It's been more than a couple of hours..

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">&quot;Dancing undead are still dancing.&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">I have three hours left.

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

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( Fo rizzle? :o ))

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

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Half an hour.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Half an hour to an hour. ^^;

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

Ghostwish:<font color="#6600CC">holy sh- oh.

VAE:<font color="#000000">i think we clean out the rest of this place, then we are done

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( x3 ))

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">Search.

* Thomas Lazarus whispers aside to Gnogglebolt.

TMG:<font color="#000000">Eh, just leave it off here? Finish the rest later?

* Flint Carthan glances south.

Ghostwish:<font color="#6600CC">That works. I'm on my own for dinner so I gotta go get something. 30 minutes sound good to everyone?

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

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

Tathi:<font color="#6600CC">Did Tathi recognize any of the scrolls?

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">&quot;There's another door over there.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">Miss Pamela.. was Mr. Giggles another cat?

Thomas Lazarus whispers: &quot;Something's off. She didn't have rope burns or bruises when we untied her.&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Two are arcane, three are divine. No spells she knows.

Pamela Lundy:<font color="#000000">&quot;No, of course not! I couldn't ride on him if he was.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">Ride.. a horse?

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">Treasure from this room, so I can go back to the altar room ?:B

Tathi:<font color="#6600CC">&quot;Curious.&quot; SHe says, taking the two unlabeled arcane scrolls for herself, and handing the other three divine ones to Moron.

Pamela Lundy:<font color="#000000">&quot;Sort of.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#6600CC">MIRON.

Ghostwish:<font color="#6600CC">well at least I wasn't speaking it, huh. XD

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Oh! There you are. XD

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;..Suit yourself, ma'am. Mind the zombies dancing on the way back.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">No way anyone got a horse down here. If he's anywhere it must be on the cemetery upstairs.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt furrows his brow, and nods at Thomas. For the moment, though, he turns back to the other two prisoners. &quot;Relnok, Swallowtail, come on, let's get you out of here.&quot; He accompanies his words with gestures and pointing out the door.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">In these chests, there are a number of bags, backpacks, suits of armor, and weapons. There are three old shovels, and two worn-out rucksacks containing various kinds of tools. A heavy leather backpack with a series of ornate silver clasps and a black linen sack also sit here.

* Thomas Lazarus hikes Karla up over his shoulder and drags Nina back out of the room, a metal scraping sound following him all the way back to Elros.

Miron:<font color="#000000">Now, it's all good. You three will be taken to the Leaden Mace hostel soon.

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">Loaded onto the pew.

* Flint Carthan is still looking at the closed door to the southwest.

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">And laid out in the hall.

Tathi:<font color="#6600CC">Tathi has a closer look over the bookshelves, being the book worm she is. Does she find anything?

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">Recorded

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">&quot;Flint, care to join me for this room here?&quot;

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">&quot;What about that door over there? There could be more heretics back there.&quot;

TMG:<font color="#000000">oh crap, missed that door...

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">&quot;Someone has to start evacuating the civilians, Flint. :P&quot;

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">&quot;Only if someone else can watch this one,&quot; he says, giving the surrendered man a shake.

Tathi:<font color="#6600CC">&quot;In a moment, in a moment..&quot; The wood elf absent-mindedly mutters as she picks over the bookshelves.

Relnok:<font color="#000000">&quot;Did yeh say.. more undead?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt wanders back in. &quot;What's this about another door?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">&quot;Richter can handle it.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">Richter... any spells left?

Relnok:<font color="#000000">&quot;Dancin' zombies?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">someone should clean out the zombies

Richter Malino:<font color="#000000">&quot;Quite a few spells...&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#6600CC">&quot;I seem to remember someone yelling about you being a cleric of the soulforge god..&quot; Tathi comments as she keeps looking over the bookshelf.

Miron:<font color="#000000">I.. can strike a few, but it'd be best someone like thomas.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;Howdy.&quot; Tom says to Elros, laying two more Sarganos.

Relnok:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yeh'd be right, miss.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">Twenty on listen check for this door.

Relnok:<font color="#000000">&quot;Granted, they took meh holy symbol...&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">So, twnty-five.

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">twenty-five*

Miron:<font color="#000000">Argh!

Miron:<font color="#000000">Smoky.. let me go!

Relnok:<font color="#000000">&quot;Did yeh happen ta find any bags with silver clasps on them?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">&quot;It's on the pew.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">&quot;In the hall over there.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">The door is unlocked while it's unlocked so you can open it while you open it?

* Swallowtail gives a cry and heads down the hall, picking up the black linen bag.

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( Anything from listening? :O ))

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Hold on just a moment, will you? XD

Miron:<font color="#000000">(supervises the two*

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Twenty things at once. XD

Tathi:<font color="#6600CC">Aye, I wanted to see if there was anything of interest on the bookshelves ages ago. :P

TMG:<font color="#000000">yeah, things getting rather hectic. That's why I suggested just ending it earlier ^^;

TMG:<font color="#000000">save this all for later

Liatai:<font color="#000000">I told you, Tathi. The scrolls.

Tathi:<font color="#6600CC">Awww. No interesting books? Darn.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Unless you like Zombies Monthly. :B

Tathi:<font color="#6600CC">Tathi follows the two guests, quirking an eyebrow at the woman as she cries out. &quot;Something the matter?&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">The woman is rummaging through the bag, pulling out... an astonishing array of small weapons.

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">She starts sheathing and unsheathing them, inspecting, and then tying them to her outfit and tucking them into her belt.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">Since I seem to recall Elros having ranks in Use Rope, but can't even begin to imagine his modifier, I'll let it be said that Tom assists him with what he can. It can remain a background thing. ^^;

Relnok:<font color="#000000">&quot;Good, they didn't melt anything down...&quot; The dwarf is likewise re-equipping himself from the contents of a bag.

* Thomas Lazarus begins walking back after securing the prisoners.

Miron:<font color="#000000">*looks at the dwarf* .. Where are you from, friend?

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">The woman stands, then points down the hallway and various directions. &quot;Zombies?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">Zombies.

Miron:<font color="#000000">Lots.

Tathi:<font color="#6600CC">&quot;Interesting couple you two are..&quot; Tathi comments casually. &quot;Know anything about this speaker of an exotic language?&quot; She asks, pointing over at 'Swallowtail'.

* Thomas Lazarus pauses.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;They're.. not dangerous.&quot;

Relnok:<font color="#000000">&quot;Not a thing.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">FUCK.

Tathi:<font color="#6600CC">&quot;Yet.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;For now. It's a bit odd.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;...... You'll see, anyways.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">Their masters might have been just knocked out...

Miron:<font color="#000000">Means they may become wild... and Elros is in there!

Tathi:<font color="#6600CC">&quot;Not really, actually.. As sick and twisted as it sounds, necromancers do this all too often.&quot;

Relnok:<font color="#000000">&quot;I'm from the Redridge mountains, gnome... yerself?&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus waves Miron off slightly. &quot;They're still dancing.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;Calm down.&quot;

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Sszeyl, you hear groaning from the other side of this door.

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">&quot;Contact.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">*sigh* Around Charred Veld... and Kemmer before that.

Tathi:<font color="#6600CC">Tathi's ears quirk. &quot;Sszeyl says we've got something.&quot;

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

Miron:<font color="#000000">Have met quite a few dwarves there.. always nice to see our closest cousins.

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">Door is opened. :U

Pamela Lundy:<font color="#000000">&quot;Is it Mr. Giggles?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt gets his weapons ready.

Tathi:<font color="#6600CC">Tathi blinks. &quot;Who is Mr. Giggles?&quot;

Pamela Lundy:<font color="#000000">&quot;My friend!&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus frowns. &quot;I'll watch our mistreated friends. Please help them, brother.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#6600CC">Tathi narrows her eyes a little. &quot;I see a lot of doors.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">&quot;We have doors.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Long thin corridor, four doors.&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;Zombies?&quot; the woman tries again, pointing in the hallway each way and looking inquisitive.

Miron:<font color="#000000">What brought you to these parts?

VAE:<font color="#000000">heh.. Zombies is a word working in every language, it seems

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">When Swallowtail points towards the western hallway, Thomas hesitantly nods.

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">Door le open.

* Flint Carthan cracks a sunrod on the wall.

* Thomas Lazarus doesn't even bother trying to explain the situation to the non-common speaker. ^^;

Ghostwish:<font color="#6600CC">if Flint were played by Inumo, he'd start dancing with it. :P

Skeleton 18:<font color="#000000">What awaits you... is rows and rows of glowing red eyes.

Skeleton 18:<font color="#000000">Skeletons. All clad in armor, all armed with swords... and all watching.

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">Door le close.

Tathi:<font color="#6600CC">&quot;Well!&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Suffering socketwrenches!&quot; Gnogglebolt cries out.

Tathi:<font color="#6600CC">&quot;Back out of the room, please.&quot;

Skeleton 18:<font color="#000000">The skeletons don't even react. =3=

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Eh-heh...well, glad they don't seem immediately hostile at the moment.&quot;

* Swallowtail starts down the hallway.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Iiiii think we can just leave those for the Palm when they come to consecrate and clean out this place ^^;&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Next door, please.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#6600CC">Tathi opens the door again. &quot;Get moving. Now.&quot;

Relnok:<font color="#000000">&quot;-- Eh?! Wait, get back here!&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus simply keeps an eye on the exotic woman. He expects she's in for quite a show.

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">Door le open.

Ghostwish:<font color="#6600CC">Liatai, still here?

Liatai:<font color="#000000">One moment.

Ghostwish:<font color="#6600CC">oh, there we go. :&gt;

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( She has like...fifteen minutes. :U ))

* Ghostwish starts laughing hard and evilly at Meany.

Pamela Lundy:<font color="#000000">&quot;-- Mr. Giggles!&quot; :D

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">D'awww. How can I stay mad at a face like that?

Mr. Giggles:<font color="#000000">Good grief! This is Mr. Giggles?!

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">I forgive your murderous ways Pamela.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Light, please!&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">what's mr giggles?

VAE:<font color="#000000">can't ID the token.. too small

* Flint Carthan 's jaw drops. &quot;Kord the Mighty.&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">Holy crap. Hahahaha.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">As Flint brings the sunrod closer...Gnogglebolt sparply takes in breath and flattens against a wall.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;A chimera?!&quot;

Pamela Lundy:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh don't worry! He won't do a thing I don't tell him to!&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">*headdesks*

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">&quot;I smell something amiss.

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...Well, I'm glad you have your...pet, back.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">if she tells him to rip the guts out of the four necromancers, we're fucked

Tathi:<font color="#6600CC">Tathi gestures and chants, and then flings her hand forward, sending what looks to be an arrow made out of fire towards the enemy... That is, until it suddenly detonates with an ear-pounding explosion, dealing 5d6 fire damage to every poor sap unlucky enough to get caught in it! Reflex 17 for half!

VAE:<font color="#000000">god miron isn't there

Pamela Lundy:<font color="#000000">&quot;They didn't hurt you, did they, Mr. Giggles?&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#6600CC">&#171; &#160;5d6 = 20&#160; <font color="#6600CC">&#187; now why didn't that work..

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

Skeleton 17:<font color="#000000">BOOSH

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

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">Ahahahah, get em.

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

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

Tathi:<font color="#6600CC">Tathi daintily dusts her hands off. &quot;Next.&quot;

* Flint Carthan holds onto his hat as the backdraft rockets out of the room. &quot;!!!&quot;

Smoke:<font color="#000000">YIPE!

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt looks off to the side, strangely enough, not actually jumping. Seems he's used to booms.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...Oh. Well, I suppose that works too.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Anyway, next door...&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#6600CC">Tathi then walks down the hall a bit, and peeks in to see 'Mr. Giggles'.. and looks nearly ready to cast another spell again.

Pamela Lundy:<font color="#000000">The woman climbs up on the chimera's back, checking here, tying a bow there...

Tathi:<font color="#6600CC">&quot;That... is her pet?&quot; She asks tentively.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;And no matter what's behind this one, I won't be surprised.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">Thomas has his hands folded before his waist, peacefully watching the zombie ball. He glances aside to Swallowtail after some time and offers a helpless shrug.

Pamela Lundy:<font color="#000000">&quot;Mm-hmm! He's a little slow, but he's good. He only listens to me.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#6600CC">&quot;Right then. Next door!&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#6600CC">Tathi quickly scooches down the hallway.

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Flint, Sszeyl?&quot;

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

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">&quot;I'm...honestly surprised for once.&quot;

TMG:<font color="#000000">whispering to you

VAE:<font color="#000000">if she tells him to rip the guts out of the four necromancers, we're fucked Tathi: Tathi gestures and chants, and then flings her hand forward, sending what looks to be an arrow made out of fire towards the enemy... That is, until it suddenly detonates with an ear-pounding explosion, dealing 5d6 fire damage to every poor sap unlucky enough to get caught in it! Reflex 17 for half! VAE: god miron isn't there

VAE:<font color="#000000">last o saw

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">Door le open.

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">Door le close.

Tathi:<font color="#6600CC">Tathi grimaces, ready to cast a spell.

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...nope, not surprised.&quot;

Zombie 3:<font color="#000000">Durrrr. =3=

Tathi:<font color="#6600CC">&quot;Oh quit being skiddish, Sszeyl!&quot;

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( Just as we're about to close it up. :B ))

Tathi:<font color="#6600CC">&quot;Open the fire-blasted door.&quot;

Faerie:<font color="#006666">...oh, well then. Don't mind me.

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">Door le open.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;It's okay Tathi, just leave it.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Or not...&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">&quot;I'm honestly wanting to see her face when this doesn't exactly work.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#6600CC">Tathi just smirks.. is that a destructive gleam in her eye? &quot;You might want to get clear, dear Gnogglebolt.&quot;

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

Tathi:<font color="#6600CC">FACE FULL OF RIN OH GOD

Miron:<font color="#000000">*stops watching the eerie spectacle for a moment* What do we do with these poor heralds of blasphemy?

Zombie 3:<font color="#000000">The zombies and skeletons... just... stand there. =3=

Tathi:<font color="#6600CC">It's like bowling with magic!

Richter Malino:<font color="#000000">&quot;Cuthbert's cudgel!!&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;... We can put them to rest last. After everyone alive in here has been saved.&quot;

Relnok:<font color="#000000">&quot;... Why not now?&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#6600CC">Tathi gestures and chants again, seemingly enjoying this destruction of necromatic magic -entirely- too much.. and again there's a thunderous explosion which misses her by mere inches.. but not the undead. &#171; &#160;5d6 = 18&#160; <font color="#6600CC">&#187; fire damage of OH GOD PAIN.

* Thomas Lazarus looks aside to Relnok. &quot;Well..&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">Actually.. now might be better.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;I'm not completely confident they won't resist.&quot;

Relnok:<font color="#000000">&quot;I've been itchin' teh give these things what's comin' t'them.&quot; The dwarf grips his holy symbol.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;That's why.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#6600CC">OH GOD SHE KILLED RIN

Miron:<font color="#000000">But.. there's four of us, after all.

Miron:<font color="#000000">And it's a lot easier than when they are under control of a necromancer

Zombie 4:<font color="#000000">BOOSH

Miron:<font color="#000000">Anyone got any holy water left?

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">Last door open.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Meh. A keg of gunpowder's even better.&quot; Gnogglebolt says to Tathi's explosions.

Ghostwish:<font color="#6600CC">Clint: Hi!

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;And won't be surprised by whatever's behind this door, either.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#6600CC">&quot;I'll see that bet and raise you a meteor swarm.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">Besides... leaving them like this, a blasphemous mockery of life... they are corpses of murdered men and women

* Thomas Lazarus frowns. &quot;Be that as it may.. there's no harm in waiting and being certain. Let's just keep cool heads.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">They deserve their eternal rest.

Miron:<font color="#000000">True, perhaps/

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;It's just for a few more minutes, brother.&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">The woman scowls at the floor of dancing zombies. &quot;Sono sicuro che questo &#232; il lavoro di quello con i nastri...&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">But either way, best to do it before we take the necromancers through this hall.

Miron:<font color="#000000">They might know something we don't.

* Thomas Lazarus walks past the zombies again and rejoins Elros and the captives.

Miron:<font color="#000000">*continues watching*

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Behind this door - Treasure!

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;....nnnnnnnnope, not surprised.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">:U

Liatai:<font color="#000000">The bulk of this treasure consists of weapons and armor; a masterwork cold iron longsword, a masterwork tower shield sized for a halfling, three masterwork longswords, and a suit of scale mail. 1,000 GP can be found scattered around in the pile, as well as a deep violet potion that looks like it might stain your teeth and a vial of liquid whose color seems to change every time you look at it.

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

Tathi:<font color="#6600CC">Tathi's eyes widen a bit... but then she looks disappointed.

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">8U

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">Sszeyl suddenly pounces the treasure!

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">Recorded.

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">&quot;HOARD. :D!&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">&quot;...Why did I say that?&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#6600CC">&quot;No more zombies? Drat. Allright, gather it all up in one place and I'll see if it's magical.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">because you channel the cat

Liatai:<font color="#000000">You may want to take the two bags, the black one and the silver-buckled one, off the loot. :3

VAE:<font color="#000000">and there's a booze like that

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Right, let's start carting this stuff out--&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">makes people's maws blue

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">&quot;Why am I clinging to this pile of treasure/&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">?*

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">So noted, GM.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;After we've helped the others with the prisoners and the civilians.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">sounds like his mental diary

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">&quot;And why cannot I let go for some reason? o-e&quot;

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

TMG:<font color="#000000">No, just emphasis on the words.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Diaries of a Battlegnome

TMG:<font color="#000000">I used quotation marks, see?

Richter Malino:<font color="#000000">&quot;Brother Thomas!&quot;

Richter Malino:<font color="#000000">&quot;What about this one?&quot;

* VAE so imagines Gnoggleboly writing his memoirs

TMG:<font color="#000000">if there were o quotemarks, it would have been an internal thought.

TMG:<font color="#000000">*were no

* Thomas Lazarus glances east.

Ghostwish:<font color="#6600CC">we ready to call it quits yet? :&gt;

TMG:<font color="#000000">I am

Royce Sargano:<font color="#000000">&quot;We're all dead,&quot; the man mutters, eyes darting around. &quot;All of us...&quot;

Ghostwish:<font color="#6600CC">Liatai, you make me laugh.

Pamela Lundy:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yoo-hoo! Are you all coming?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">&quot;One minute. We found a hoard.&quot;

Ghostwish:<font color="#6600CC">When I inadvertently got a peek of that chimeria I thought we must've pushed you off the edge and now you're going to kill the party. XP

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">&quot;And I'm stuck to it, it seems. o-e&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus rests his gauntlets on his hips and frowns with a soft glare at Royce.

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

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

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">&quot;... Someone pick up the drow...&quot;

TMG:<font color="#000000">so THAT is what you were talking about, ghost. xD

Ghostwish:<font color="#6600CC">Yup. XD

* Faerie flops .-.

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( *pets Fae. Gives loot* ))

* Royce Sargano freezes, watching Thomas.

TMG:<font color="#000000">So, we ready to sig off? Nominations?

TMG:<font color="#000000">Gotta take care of that and EXP real quick before Lialeaves :U

Liatai:<font color="#000000">One moment. Let's get this bit finished.

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( Tommy boy for THE BITCH MUST DIE ))

Liatai:<font color="#000000">I've got about fifteen minutes to squeeze out noms and last-minute RP.

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

* Faerie shrugs at Sszeyl's loot. Not the problem right now. .-.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">I'm fine for leaving things here and letting you get prepared for your RL friends. :3

Ghostwish:<font color="#6600CC">Nommin Sszeyl for PEW PEW action. :&gt;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">It's getting to that part of the game I hate, anyways.

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

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">The logistics and bickering part.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">:B

Ghostwish:<font color="#6600CC">Nomming Gnogglebolt for more matters at heart.

Royce Sargano:<font color="#000000">&quot;... You're dead, I'm dead, everyone here'll be dead before dawn...&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">Nominating Sszeyl for the Pew Pew like a real man

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">Royce reminded me of

Ghostwish:<font color="#6600CC">hrm. that's all I can think of.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;Shut up.&quot; Thomas snaps. &quot;I have no consoling words for you. There were murdered children in there.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2A97sXkM6D4

* Thomas Lazarus nods at Richter. &quot;Let's get him out of here.&quot;

* Sszeyl is clinging to ...what sum of treasure, GM? :U

Royce Sargano:<font color="#000000">&quot;I'm trying to warn you -- &quot;

Royce Sargano:<font color="#000000">&quot;You didn't --&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">Let's see. Noms..

Richter Malino:<font color="#000000">&quot;Silence.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">Thomas Lazarus for finally thinking like an inquisitor, body and spirit.

VAE:<font color="#000000">and the badass &quot;this skeleton party is over&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">You have to admit, it was a great entrance.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Indeed it was. x3

VAE:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt for confusing this with Quake (double-barrel shotgun was my fav arm)

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">Busting in the door, blowing away the skeletons, pewing the incanter off the altar.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">We were bad-asses.

VAE:<font color="#000000">and Pamela was a bad ass

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

Royce Sargano:<font color="#000000">&quot;You didn't capture the strongest of us!&quot; he whispers, almost pleadingly.

VAE:<font color="#000000">with some great ass, possibly.

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( Pamela is the Boss. ))

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( Riding a Chimera. ))

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

TMG:<font color="#000000">So -that-'s what you wanted to get out, Liatai. &gt;.&gt;

VAE:<font color="#000000">heh.. he might mean Luis

* Thomas Lazarus stares at Royce mutely.

VAE:<font color="#000000">anyways.. gnogglebolt shotgunning everyone from close up was epic

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">I am seriously having a Van Von Hunter moment.

VAE:<font color="#000000">he's the gnomish Duke Nukem (old style)

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">Where I just want to ignore him because... :P

VAE:<font color="#000000">No. Pokemon moment

VAE:<font color="#000000">Gotta catch'em all!

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( Lia? :o ))

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

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( You still dere, ladeh? ))

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

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( Just asking for a summery of the hoard before closing time. :3 ))

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;...&quot; He is deathly still for a bit, before rolling his eyes up to meet Pamela riding her friend.

* Flint Carthan and Smoke pull the drow off the hoard.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">It was posted and recorded.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Repost - The bulk of this treasure consists of weapons and armor; a masterwork cold iron longsword, a masterwork tower shield sized for a halfling, three masterwork longswords, and a suit of scale mail. 1,000 GP can be found scattered around in the pile, as well as a deep violet potion that looks like it might stain your teeth and a vial of liquid whose color seems to change every time you look at it.

Miron:<font color="#000000">Comes back from the other room.. I told you, Thomas... best to transport them after.. *sigh* Nothing has happened, but it was a needless risk

* Thomas Lazarus isn't moving.

Pamela Lundy:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh, hi! Everybody else is on their way, they just found some treasure.&quot;

* Mr. Giggles glares balefully down the hallway.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Pamela is scary

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">The hoard is gathered.

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">And taken to the altar room to be loaded into a pew.

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">And transported out. :U

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;..T..that's..&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;I see.&quot;

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

TMG:<font color="#000000">I had Gnogglebolt say IC

TMG:<font color="#000000">&quot;Let's go help the others BEFORE getting greedy.&quot;

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( Sszeyl...cannot let go of the hoard. ^^; ))

TMG:<font color="#000000">but oh well.

VAE:<font color="#000000">you expect altruism from a drow?

TMG:<font color="#000000">eh, we could have left him there for a few minutes. :B

* Flint Carthan sighs. &quot;Let's just go get that drow.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">or reasonable conduct?

VAE:<font color="#000000">Miron would tell you.

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

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

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">Toting both pews of treasure.

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">&quot;Let's go. :D

Pamela Lundy:<font color="#000000">&quot;Wait, just a moment.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">WHA-

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

Miron:<font color="#000000">What's that beast doing here?!

Pamela Lundy:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh, that's just Mr. Giggles! He's mine.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus doesn't even pivot his head as the Chimera plods by.

* Thomas Lazarus looks to Royce. He's still frowning. But he doesn't look mad anymore.

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">&quot;That central head looks familiar. &gt;&gt;&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">*Looks at the drow with disapproval* Of course, what else to expect... money are only first priority....

Pamela Lundy:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh, they're still here!&quot;

Pamela Lundy:<font color="#000000">&quot;Good, good. That means I can still reward you properly.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">Pamela.. you think Mr. Giggles could do something with the zombies here?

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">&quot;....I smell a trap.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">He looks.. rather strong.

Pamela Lundy:<font color="#000000">The woman smiles, standing on the chimera's back. &quot;Oh, you silly! Mr. Giggles couldn't make zombies.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">I don't mean make... put them to rest, if you wish

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

Pamela Lundy:<font color="#000000">&quot;Why would I do that?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;Get away from the door.&quot; Thomas mutters urgently.

Pamela Lundy:<font color="#000000">&quot;Do you know how long it took to find the perfect dancers?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Alright, so, let's get everything up to the surface and call in the Palm. No more dawdling.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">Why? Because in a few days they'll turn wild?

* Thomas Lazarus draws his blade and shield.

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

Miron:<font color="#000000">Find perfect dancers ?

Miron:<font color="#000000">She IS nuts.!?!?!..

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Then his eyes widen in horror.

Pamela Lundy:<font color="#000000">&quot;Awwww, is the game up already? Stupid Royce. Should have never dated a Nerullian.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;no.....&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">*stares.. wordless*

Royce Sargano:<font color="#000000">&quot;I told you!!!&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">Just.. who is she?

Miron:<font color="#000000">And who's Royce?

Pamela Lundy:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh shut up.&quot; The woman snaps her fingers. &quot;Go on, Rulby.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Not good! NOT GOOD! EVERYONE, BRACE YOURSELVES!&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">And NOW is a good place to leave off. &gt;:3

Miron:<font color="#000000">I.. I told you! The cat looked dangerous? Oh, dog fuck it!

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">x3

TMG:<font color="#000000">....You know what's really spazzing me out?

VAE:<font color="#000000">Nominating liatai for a mostly unexpected twist.

TMG:<font color="#000000">i was RIGHT.

VAE:<font color="#000000">That she has access to the prisoners?

Meany:<font color="#666666">Excuse me? :U

Liatai:<font color="#000000">You WERE right. :3

TMG:<font color="#000000">TMG: &quot;SHe's chained up and smiling EIther this is some kind of kinky game or you're in for a world of hurt. What do you do?&quot;

Meany:<font color="#666666">I called her being the boss too.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">Well.

TMG:<font color="#000000">And I was just referencing a demotivator D: Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">It was fun playing Thomas for the 3 or 4 minutes in advance that he figured it out IC before the rest of the party.

VAE:<font color="#000000">She seemed suspicious, true... but i just thought she went nots. Afterwards, inside, she convinced me it isn't quite so

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">While I played hardcore &quot;horror strings&quot; in my head.

VAE:<font color="#000000">so yeah,well done, Liatai

VAE:<font color="#000000">*nuts

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Poor Richter. The one time he tries being a hardened inquisitor, he tries to shut up the person giving a genuine warning. 0:3

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">Is it horrible that I still want to excuse her and be on her side? :B

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

* Dr. Hatari Van Von Hunter'd

VAE:<font color="#000000">It isn't horrible, just.. not fitting with Thomas

Liatai:<font color="#000000">All right, let's get those noms again. :3

Ghostwish:<font color="#6600CC">Noms? XP? I wants me some pizza!!!!

VAE:<font color="#000000">Also.. Miron will probably bash his head in for not spotting this

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">Tom is ready to go. I meant me. :B

TMG:<font color="#000000">Hum...Sszeyl was already nominated for batter up

VAE:<font color="#000000">the cat he found suspicious outright.. cat wit ha rucksack?

Ghostwish:<font color="#6600CC">OH! A nom for thomas for awesome turning effect. :&gt;

VAE:<font color="#000000">As i said - Tech, shotgun mastery

TMG:<font color="#000000">....heck. Tathi for &quot;NO I WANNA BLOW THE UP :[ &quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">Thomas - awesome turning show + deduction

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">ulz

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

Meany:<font color="#666666">Seconded.

Meany:<font color="#666666">On all counts.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Sszeyl - Manly Pew Pew

TMG:<font color="#000000">...which mean's she's porobably just USED all of her best power when now is the time we really need it.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">Giga Pew Breaker.
