Glitch:Testing, anyone read me?

Glitch:o?

Glitch:*yo?

Meany has connected.

Glitch:testing again, if anyone's said anything, I'm still not recieving lines...

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Yo, no one's said anything. ^^;

Glitch:<font color="#000000">oh, there we go

Glitch:<font color="#000000">thank you

Meany:<font color="#000000">Apendicitis.


 * Meany injects Glitch with it.

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

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">and I'll load map

Glitch:<font color="#000000">there we go


 * Meany throws roaches at the chat.

Meany:<font color="#000000">Vae did you join as a GM again. &gt;:O

VAE:<font color="#000000">no?


 * Meany gives doughnuts, then.

VAE:<font color="#000000">what'd you give me if i did ? x3

Meany:<font color="#000000">Centipedes.

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

Ghostwish:<font color="#9900FF">Status?

VAE:<font color="#000000">ETA: Fuck if I know seconds

Ghostwish:<font color="#9900FF">Everything is your fault now.

Ghostwish:<font color="#9900FF">Everything.


 * Meany throws centipedes at Ghost.

Meany:<font color="#000000">My tea tastes like pizza.

Meany:<font color="#000000">Wtf, brain.

RAM:<font color="#000000">&quot;My tea tastes like pizza now. How horrid.&quot;

Meany:<font color="#000000">Lia, kick Glitch.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">VAE, Glitch wants you to kick him.

Meany:<font color="#000000">In the jaw.

Meany:<font color="#000000">VAE ain't a GM. v:

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

RAM:<font color="#990000">VAE's running the server.


 * TemporaryGlitch smacks Danman over and over

TemporaryGlitch:<font color="#000000">Check the goddamn IRC and kick my name, please! Been pinging you for ten minutes!

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

RAM:<font color="#990000">I think he poofed.

RAM:<font color="#990000">Wouldn't have this problem if I was running the server.

RAM:<font color="#990000">Just saying. :P

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

Temproary:<font color="#000000">Dude, where the hell is Danman?!?

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

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

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

Temproary:<font color="#000000">Fucking hell. &gt;_

RAM:<font color="#990000">Wouldn't have this problem if I was running the server.

Temproary:<font color="#000000">I know. &gt;:E

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

Temproary:<font color="#000000">finally

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

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Well eesh, I'm sorry. I thought only server host could kick. Don't get in a snit. ^^;

RAM:<font color="#990000">You mean the GM can kick too?


 * RAM also thought only the host could.

Meany:<font color="#000000">Lia, you may kick me to demonstrate.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">I've been waiting and trying to reconnect for the past 15 minutes Lia.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Little irked at the moment. ^^;

Ghostwish:<font color="#9900FF">And?

Ghostwish:<font color="#9900FF">In case you hadn't noticed, nothing is happening. The fuck you getting so desperate for?

Ghostwish:<font color="#9900FF">The server was completely silent until your hissy fit.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Well, that's the rub, isn't it?

Glitch:<font color="#000000">I can't tell if anything -is- happening or not.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Unknowns drive me nuts.

Ghostwish:<font color="#9900FF">We never start this early.

Ghostwish:<font color="#9900FF">Ever.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">We -used- to...

Ghostwish:<font color="#9900FF">Years ago.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">We used to start 3 hours ago, I miss that. :B

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Nah, like, last year.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Well I'm sorry I had to go buy food for my animals. =3=#

RAM:<font color="#990000">Aminals have food yaaaaay!


 * Meany pushes Glitch into an orca enclosure.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">When did I say anything about that....? I got that memo, I'm not complaining about that


 * RAM keelhauls Techy.

VAE:<font color="#000000">That said

RAM:<font color="#990000">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ta-Z_psXODw

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

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

RAM:<font color="#990000">x3

RAM:<font color="#990000">You're terrible, VAE.

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

Glitch:<font color="#000000">I don't even know what's up with my connection today...

RAM:<font color="#990000">Oh, I thought that was you. &gt;.&gt;

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Been this way since last night.

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

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Don't know what the flying hell is going on.

VAE:<font color="#000000">That said, why are we still kinda operating on the old starting time? I mean, best actually set a new scheduled time and keep on it than technically run three to four hours late every week

VAE:<font color="#000000">At this point it's stupid

VAE:<font color="#000000">the old starting time only exists on paper and it's such for a year and half maybe

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Mmf. At least during June that may be best.

GM:<font color="#000000">Okay, gotta warn you guys, I may be very off as a DM this week. But, we shall endure.

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

GM:<font color="#000000">Character questions while tea gets brewed?

Ghostwish:<font color="#9900FF">Wuz wrong?

Glitch:<font color="#000000">&quot;Off&quot;?

Glitch:<font color="#000000">In what way? Loopy, or moody?

RAM:<font color="#990000">Is Lia okay? &gt;:

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Muse is going blah. =3=; I didn't prepare as much as I would normally have this week.

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

GM:<font color="#000000">Oh well, I shall attach wings to my pants!

Ghostwish:<font color="#9900FF">Butt-wings.

GM:<font color="#000000">Triwing cosplay time! *brick'd*

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Heh, that's been me since the beginning of my campaign. ^^; I just -cannot- sem to grasp that level of preparedness I used to have for my Eberron game...

RAM:<font color="#990000">Triwing cosplay Lia. |3

Glitch:<font color="#000000">that said, once you get the hang of it, wingin' it actually isn't a bad way to do things...

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

GM:<font color="#000000">Character questions, for tea is brewing!

GM:<font color="#000000">Now that the PCs have had some involvement with it, this should be interesting. &quot;How does your character feel about her government?&quot;

Adulian:<font color="#990000">Uh.

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

Adulian:<font color="#990000">&gt;.&gt;

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

Tathi:<font color="#9900FF">&quot;You mean the one I run?&quot; ^^;

Adulian:<font color="#990000">I haven't had any involvement with the government yet.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">This is going to make for quite an infuriating day...

Adulian:<font color="#990000">Try resetting your modem?

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Missed the Q, whatever it was

GM:<font color="#000000">What about the one(s) you interact with, Tathi? :B

GM:<font color="#000000">Now that the PCs have had some involvement with it, this should be interesting. &quot;How does your character feel about her government?&quot; (repost)

Glitch:<font color="#000000">shit, why the hell not.

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

Maelgwyn ap Gwardnerth:<font color="#000000">good people doing the best they can to protect the people from mazian aggression

Tathi:<font color="#9900FF">&quot;They'll all bow to me sooner or late- ow!&quot;

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

Tathi:<font color="#9900FF">&quot;Okay, okay, honestly? I'm glad it's Akellon I'm dealing with for the most part.&quot;

Bryne ap Emyr: <font color="#000000">We do what's neccessary

Tathi:<font color="#9900FF">&quot;I could have done a lot worse. Like, a lot worse.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9900FF">&quot;Now, dealing with the nearby fey? That just makes me giddy.&quot;

Adulian:<font color="#990000">Though, if you're talking about the 'government' I do deal with on a fairly regular basis...

Tullia:<font color="#000000">The Emperor deserves my difference, and I will obey him. I cannot respect his warmongering, or refusal to change the status quo in favor of keeping outdated traditions in place.

Adulian:<font color="#990000">I wouldn't exactly consider them a 'government' really, though.


 * VAE back ,was setting up dinner

Meany:<font color="#000000">Liar.

Tathi:<font color="#9900FF">&quot;Who dafuq is Tullia?&quot;

Meany:<font color="#000000">You were leading the communist rebellion.

Adulian:<font color="#990000">They're not bad. Tend to keep to themselves, though.

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

Adulian:<font color="#990000">I definitely enjoy the perks that come with working for them.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">-doubt- that worked, but you never know.

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">I respect and agree with much of what Zilvudar teaches. But he oversteps his bounds many times, and I cannot support that.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">What was the second charQ?

Adulian:<font color="#990000">We're still on the first.

GM:<font color="#000000">Reposting again.

GM:<font color="#000000">Now that the PCs have had some involvement with it, this should be interesting. &quot;How does your character feel about her government?&quot; (repost)

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">Hard to say. Not like the government itself cares for me or other awakened animals all that much, though at least it acknowledges us as intelligent

GM:<font color="#000000">Next one; &quot;What is your character's least favorite season?&quot; And on the flip side, what is their favorite?

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">The Mazian government has its flaws. Plenty of bad-name politicians. But, thanks to my own mom being one and working hard to improve things, I've got an optimistic view overall.

Tathi:<font color="#9900FF">&quot;Ha. Sorry, Minkie, but I love all the seasons. The life of spring, the heat of the summer, the flurry of fall, and the serenity of winter.&quot;

Burmice:<font color="#000000">Which government? Akellon, or Chel? For the first, the taxes are plain *strangling*. . . why in the webbed pits does anyone still bother making anything, I can't tell.

Adulian:<font color="#990000">I don't really have a 'least' favorite. But Autumn is my favorite.

Adulian:<font color="#990000">Everything just seems so...peaceful.

Burmice:<font color="#000000">For Chel's. . .things are going my way fairly reliably as-is, thanks for asking.

Jason Storm:<font color="#000000">Favorite? Spring, generally. A welcome reprieve from riding through snow and ice all winter. Late summer is my least favorite, however. Not much shade in the Veld, and what is lacking in shade is made up in insects. =w=#

Edaric:<font color="#000000">Least favorite? Hmm. I don't really have a season I hate, but if I had to pick a least favorite... Probably spring. Mud season, and planting season. Hard work. Autumn's my favorite, though. The festivals! The food! The harvest! |D

GM:<font color="#000000">&quot;Who is your character's confidant?&quot;

Burmice:<font color="#000000">Hmm, as for seasons. . . summer is bleh. All those flies, all the heat, not that much work 'round here either as the peasants are working their arses off at their fields - I tend to end up in Chel most of it, or just working on my own projects. Which I suppose also makes it my favourite part of the year, so go figure.

Burmice:<font color="#000000">Me, myself and I. And Muri *pets her*.

Edaric:<font color="#000000">It's a toss-up between Ael and Tom. I find myself drifting more often to Tom nowadays, though, since a lot of what's said to Ael ends up in Tathi's ears nowadays, and she's... well... Tathi. ^^;

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

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">........... That is very good question.

Maelgwyn ap Gwardnerth:<font color="#000000">Bryne, he's always there to help me out

Adulian:<font color="#990000">Pangur Ban.

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">The dry season.

Adulian:<font color="#990000">And my husband.

Bryne ap Emyr: <font color="#000000">Confidences can be betrayed

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">....I don't really have a confidant in this party anymore. I guess it used to be Tom, but, well....

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">Tebryn.

Malcolm Walker:<font color="#000000">..... *DRINKS* ;~;

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">My two previous Squadmates.

Tullia:<font color="#000000">Autumn, and Baeshrazoth.

Burmice:<font color="#000000">Seriously, anything two people know isn't a secret anymore. That said, I do share a good bit of the not particularly important stuff with Mal. Makes for an appearance of trust,besides, what's a success if you can't show it off.

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">As for me .. . .I like winter. All the snow! You wouldn't believe how much fun is it to chase snowflakes.

Jason Storm:<font color="#000000">I suppose Tim Heatherwood. A fellow messenger and theater fan. I should write to him sometime soon... He'll never believe what's been going on here. I can scarcely believe it myself, and I'm living it!

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">As for least favourite, probably autumn. The Mace gets so much more work that time of the year - it's like if the thieves were waiting for it. Perhaps it's because after harvest, even the poorer peasants tend to have a few crowns stashed away.

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">And well. . . old man Archie isn't around anymore, so I guess I don't really have anyone at this time. But then, I'm a cat, I don't have that many things to talk about, do I?

Tathi:<font color="#9900FF">&quot;Well... I've been racking my brain for a bit.. and it's a little frightening to say, but..&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9900FF">&quot;No one.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">... Not even Ael?

Tathi:<font color="#9900FF">&quot;I love him. The last thing I want to do is drag him into some of the things I have to deal with.&quot;

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


 * Tathi eyerolls.

Adulian:<font color="#990000">Damn right I do!

Glitch:<font color="#000000">(huh, knock on wood, haven't had a connection error since rebotting the router&amp;modem...)

Jason Storm:<font color="#000000">Comes with the territory. You can't always find an inn, or afford one.

Edaric:<font color="#000000">As long as I'm not doing it alone, it's fine! :3

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">It is... what is the phrase. Necessary evil? =3=;

Tullia:<font color="#000000">Not especially. My definition of 'outdoors' is 'tundra.'

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">I prefer bed.

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">I don't mind.

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">I live outdoors, most of the time. Unless it's too cold outside.

Malcolm Walker:<font color="#000000">Job requirement. There are times when it's not nice, but... You get used to it.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Oop, BRB.

Burmice:<font color="#000000">Why would I? Outdoors is full of things that are trying to kill you. . . which is much like indoors in Chel, but then the things that try to kill you outdoors are harder to bribe, reason with or scare away, and have no respect for one's social position.

Meany:<font color="#000000">Discovered the song 'Overkill' a few minutes ago.

Meany:<font color="#000000">Made me think of Vargie.

Meany:<font color="#000000">Oop, messed up title.

Meany:<font color="#000000">Thousand Foot Krutch - Courtesy Call

Meany:<font color="#000000">Not sure which is the title. |D;

Meany:<font color="#000000">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CRPIInfuSCM

Bryne ap Emyr:<font color="#000000">Thousand Foot Krutch is name of band, so courtesy call must be song name

GM:<font color="#000000">&quot;Your character walks into her home and sees blood on the floor. What is her first reaction or thought? Why is there blood on the floor? Whose is it? What happens next?&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9900FF">&quot;It's fireball time.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;DAMNIT, FUZZY.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">''Where do I.. where do I live? Where am I? D:''

Tathi:<font color="#9900FF">&quot;Seriously though, the least I can hope for is some unseelie prank.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9900FF">&quot;The worst? I could very well have a drow problem.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">Fuzzy decided to go after my chickens. :T

Jason Storm:<font color="#000000">Panic, close the door, and run for the constable, of course! D:

Rhylinar:<font color="#000000">Look, Tathi, I know what it might look like, but that blood is not my fault. =3= *brick'd back offscreen!!!*

Tullia:<font color="#000000">The younglings- Must get to His Lordship and Bae. Must sound the alarm.

Tathi:<font color="#9900FF">&quot;Okay MORE drow problems!!!&quot;

Adulian:<font color="#990000">Cometfall.

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">Blood in the archives? Look around, see if I can find who's bleeding or who did it, and call up everyone I can.

Malcolm Walker:<font color="#000000">Sword and shield drawn. Cautiously investigate.

Burmice:<font color="#000000">Muri, sweetie, did you just kill another would-be-burglar while mistress was off on errands? *scratches Iymmur'ss behind ears*

Edaric:<font color="#000000">Someone needs healing! *lute in hand* Find somebody and find out what happened, of course! Did Barbarus flip out? Assassins? Fiends? Something explode? What?

Barbarus:<font color="#000000">Ed, I can explain.

Barbarus:<font color="#000000">The bitch totally had it coming.

Barbarus:<font color="#000000">There.

GM:<font color="#000000">Okay, last one before roll call. &quot;How well does your character handle change?&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">*shrug* Change happens. Just gotta roll with it. :3

Tullia:<font color="#000000">Well, when it is gradual. Not so much when it is sudden.

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">It's hard to hold it in paws, I prefer bills.

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">Gotta roll with it.

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">I do not like it, most of the time. But I am an Air adept, and we can change with the change to make it suit us.

Tathi:<font color="#9900FF">&quot;Usually by being the one instigating it.&quot;

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">But seriously, it keeps life from getting boring.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">... My mom is watching Spaceballs in the next room. :B

Burmice:<font color="#000000">Depends where are things rolling to.

Meany:<font color="#000000">&quot;I knew it! I'm surrounded by assholes!&quot;

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

Meany:<b><font color="#000000">&quot;Keep firing, Assholes!&quot;

</b>Burmice:<font color="#000000">Lolth's doctrine of course says that change makes us stronger because it sweeps away those too weak to adapt .. . eh, if only it wasn't quite so annoying for the rest of us.

Meany:<font color="#000000">&quot;I wish to find this man so that I may reward him~&quot; &quot;I thought you said you wanted to arrest him..&quot; &quot;I change my mind a lot!&quot; &quot;...&quot; &quot;Execute them.&quot;

GM:<font color="#000000">Mmkay! Who's here and ready to rock?

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

Tathi: <font color="#9900ff">(( Hiyo ))

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

RAM:<font color="#990000">\o/

Bryne ap Emyr:<font color="#000000">here

Glitch:<font color="#000000">&#9835; 'Ello there Ladies and gentlemen! 'Ello there ladies and gents--&#9835;

Glitch:<font color="#000000">&#9835;You ready to rock?! Are you ready to &#9835;

Glitch:<font color="#000000">&#9835;You ready to rock?! Are you ready to rock?!&#9835;


 * Meany pushes Glitch back into the orca enclosure.

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

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

GM:<font color="#000000">What happened last session? :3

Glitch:<font color="#000000">We were chugging along in the snow

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Saw a couple of Whites and Silvers kicking the crap out of each other, went to assist

Railock:<font color="#000000">the truck train died

Glitch:<font color="#000000">got into big fight with whites

Glitch:<font color="#000000">whites destroyed trucktrain -3-

Tathi:<font color="#9900FF">Rocks fell.

RAM:<font color="#990000">Stomped them.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Whites finished off with the Silver returning to assist (Silver's child is with the raptorans)

VAE:<font color="#000000">We rfinished off a couple dragons that were grabbing a silver

VAE:<font color="#000000">and attracted a large silver in the process

Meany:<font color="#000000">Sszeyl got bit by a white.

Meany:<font color="#000000">And talked wicked smack at it.

Meany:<font color="#000000">:U

GM:<font color="#000000">Almost. Those two white dragons were not the same ones that the silvers were fighting.

Adulian:<font color="#990000">Fuckers made every damn save I threw at them. &gt;:|

Meany:<font color="#000000">White: WE ALL LOOK THE SAME TO YOU HUH?

Meany:<font color="#000000">White2:IT'S BECAUSE I'M WHITE, ISN'T IT.

GM:<font color="#000000">Welcome to being a spellcaster. *brick'd*

Meany:<font color="#000000">White: RACIST PIG.

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">this is a remedy to RAM's rants about spellcasters being OP

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Well they are 21 hit die monsters with Dragon progression.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">That's pretty much a gaurantee they're magic-resistant.

Adulian:<font color="#990000">Eh, oh well. I put up pretty damn good save DCs.

Adulian:<font color="#990000">Monsters just get save progression by HD, which will always outstrip your DC progression, it seems.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">That's just how 3.5 works in general. It's still not as dramatic as the AC curve. You need to get devious and extreme or else just abandon old tactics to growing useless.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Oh yeah, and the captured young White has been screaming his head off the whole time.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Going to have to take care of that, now that the real threats are dealt with.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">and...my Snarky died. ;~;

RAM:<font color="#990000">I seem to recall a system that has spellcaster DCs progress with caster level, but I can't for the life of me recall which one it was.

VAE:<font color="#000000">that said, it does make sense as is, doesn't it. A spell is a spell, unless you cast it in some clever special way

GM:<font color="#000000">We left off last session just after the death of the besparkled white dragon, and the wounded silver landing in the pass before you.

GM:<font color="#000000">The raptorans are still off with the younger silver dragon... Take it away!

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">I took down a dragon. Imma bosscat, yo!

RAM:<font color="#990000">I would think that being a stronger caster would make your spells harder to resist, by virtue of being able to push more power through them. But that's just my opinion.

Huge Silver Dragon:<font color="#000000">The adult dragon is scrutinizing your group, wings half-furled.

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">Sszeyl looks up at the Silver.

Iymmur'ss:<font color="#000000">Quit stealin' me lines, bitch!

Maelgwyn ap Gwardnerth:<font color="#000000">&quot;How long have the whites been so...agressive?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;There was another Silver being attacked by whites iin this area. We were moving to assist when these two attacked.&quot;

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">&quot;Uh, hello?&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">They already have ways of doing that and are already in a position of overwhelming broken mechanical supremacy. They don't need buffs. &gt;_&gt;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">owo; Thomas looks up at the towering silver dragon with an awkward smile.

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">After seeing that the last white dragon has collapsed and ceased to me a moving threat, then, with a blanched wincing face, starts clambering back into the crushed trucktrain.

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;Can you go assist that other Silver, or has it been resolved?&quot;

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">Vonain finally vacates the wagon.

Huge Silver Dragon:<font color="#000000">&quot;It is not safe for you here. Salvage what you can from your vehicle, quickly, and follow me. There is a defensible cavern ahead.&quot; The dragon's voice is grim.


 * Adulian approaches the Dragon along with the others.

Tathi:<font color="#9900FF">Tathi walks up from the wagon. &quot;Hey, we just met you, and this is crazy, but are you from the Citadel, maybe?&quot;

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">&quot;Can you give us a paw with it? There's mail from half the town below in there&quot;


 * Liatai throws SO MANY BRICKS.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">jesus christ ghost

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">&quot;We. . can't quite leave the stuff lying around&quot;

Tathi: <font color="#9900ff">(( bwaaaahahahahahahah bwaahahahaha ))

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">Ghost, LOL

VAE:<font color="#000000">You're getting nommed so hard for this

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Thomas scuffles off to help salvage. D|

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">Sszeyl zooms, unhooks a cart, and starts loading things.

Huge Silver Dragon:<font color="#000000">&quot;Safety, first. Every white dragon and ally of theirs for miles around will be coming shortly after that roar. Hurry.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt eventually gets out of the mangled wreck, with a small cloth-wrapped bundle in his arms and a grim-set face.

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">Sszeyl then..starts to haul.

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">As in pull the cart.

Adulian:<font color="#990000">&quot;I take it there's still a lot of them?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">My drag weight is 2.6k, for stats sake.

Maelgwyn ap Gwardnerth: <font color="#0">(( you could drag ONE empty cairrage then ))

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">&quot;Which is why we need you to give us a paw with hauling it off, I guess.&quot; *does a catface*

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">No time for mourning jest yet, though. Gnogglebolt gingerly lays the bundle by the side of the trucktrain, and quickly starts moving through the main trucktrain and the wagons, grabbing every bit of cargo he can as well as yanking whatever bits and pieces he can get from the trucktrain and wagon, until his cargo pack is stacked twice as high as he is.

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">Vonain grabs what cargo he can, as well.

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;Tom, I can do this but not speedily, assist?&quot;

Huge Silver Dragon:<font color="#000000">&quot;Leave the carts! Take only what you need and can carry, and follow.&quot; &gt;:|

Tathi:<font color="#9900FF">&quot;Okay okay..&quot; Tathi says, following the silver. &quot;By the way, got any loose scale?&quot; *_*

Maelgwyn ap Gwardnerth:<font color="#000000">how many pounds of stuff from the town needs to be delivered?

Aelian:<font color="#9900FF">&quot;Tathi please stop creeping out the dragon.&quot; =3=

VAE:<font color="#000000">around 200

VAE:<font color="#000000">I think

Huge Silver Dragon:<font color="#000000">Glitch? You're the one who came up with weights.


 * Jason Storm is carrying the pack of messages, though.

VAE:<font color="#000000">So. split it into three or such?

Glitch:<font color="#000000">about 150-200 pounds of deliveries

Glitch:<font color="#000000">That's all we could manage back at the town, with the raptorans in the trucktrain

Glitch:<font color="#000000">when the raptorans left, we were able to carry the dragon instead


 * Smaller White Dragon 3 tries to remain quiet.

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">Sszeyl :|faces and grabs the White in the cage, his stuff, and Tathi's new outfit which she forgot.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Um, Sszeyl, the white isn't -in- a cage

Smaller White Dragon 3:<font color="#000000">The white isn't in a cage.

VAE:<font color="#000000">no love for tailor Sszeyl

Glitch:<font color="#000000">it's just chained and manacle'd up

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;Where is the White dragon?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Thomas came to help, and is doing just that. He carries whatever equipment the party had stowed in the truck with his generous strength.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">There -is no cage-, you doofus, the white is still there. xP

Huge Silver Dragon:<font color="#000000">&quot;What?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;We have a prisoner.&quot;

Adulian:<font color="#990000">&quot;Ah, oh yeah. We captured one of the Whites. Shall we bring it along as well?&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">There is no cage. The cage exists only in your minds

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;A white we intended to turn over to the Citadel.&quot;

Huge Silver Dragon:<font color="#000000">The dragon looks somewhat boggled.

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;And now I can't find it. Where did it go?&quot;

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">&quot;It's a small one, a whelp.&quot;

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">&quot;Yes. Sszeyl, can you manage it? If it acts up, I suppose the gnome can try talking sense into it. Or the Silver can do something.&quot;

Adulian:<font color="#990000">It's still there, Meany.

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">&quot;Come on, get it out of the cart, we have to move.&quot;

Adulian:<font color="#990000">It's just not caged.

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">My eyesight is loot based.

Huge Silver Dragon:<font color="#000000">&quot;There's no time for arguing. Bring it if you can, quickly. I cannot hold off a tide of white dragons alone, and not in this state.&quot;

Adulian:<font color="#990000">It was never caged.

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">Dragons have no loot.

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">Sszeyl looks around.

Sszeyl:<b><font color="#000000">&quot;Aha.&quot;

</b>Teeny Rin:<font color="#FF0000">'Hold them off', he says. Dragons.

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">And grabs the little White.

Smaller White Dragon 3:<font color="#000000">HSSSSS! &gt;:E

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">Sszeyl carts it around as if it were nothing.

Sszeyl:<b><font color="#000000">&quot;Try anything, and I will eat you.&quot;

</b>Adulian:<font color="#990000">&quot;Okay, got the prisoner. Now let's go!&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Unless he's a good actor, he can't understand you, Sszeyl.&quot;

Smaller White Dragon 3:<font color="#000000">&quot;Si geou svent wux!&quot; &gt;:E

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">shit I need the DragonTranslator again...


 * Maelgwyn ap Gwardnerth guesses the little silver can't speak common like that one white, and takes to scanning the skies for enemies

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">Sszeyl contemplates, then gives the small white the most creepy look possible.

Young Silver Dragon:<font color="#000000">I spoke Common to you last session... ^^;

RAM:<font color="#990000">Am I the only one that can't help but hear Draconic as Dov from Skyrim?

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">http://ih1.redbubble.net/image.13043484.4328/flat,550x550,075,f.u2.jpg

Liatai:<font color="#000000">http://draconic.twilightrealm.com/

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">Let's go, then. :V

Adulian:<font color="#990000">Hey, little White.

Adulian:<font color="#990000">Remember me? &gt;:|

Adulian:<font color="#990000">Be good. &gt;:|

Smaller White Dragon 3:<font color="#000000">Si geou svent wux. &gt;:E

Maelgwyn ap Gwardnerth whispers: I asked earlier &quot;How long have the whites been so...agressive?&quot; and couldn't remember if you did last time

Glitch whispers: Is this thing working right? &quot;Lucky the fruit want you alive&quot;?

Young Silver Dragon:<font color="#000000">&quot;A few months, I think... Who are you?&quot;

You whisper to Glitch: It wouldn't translate &quot;wants,&quot; so yes. &quot;You are lucky the fruit wants you alive!&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9900FF">&quot;We're the Arguing Guardians.&quot;

Huge Silver Dragon:<font color="#000000">The dragon ushers you along at a swift pace.

Tathi:<font color="#9900FF">&quot;Formally known as the Vigilant Guardians.&quot;

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

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

Adulian:<font color="#990000">&#171; &#160;1d20+7 = 12 + 7 = 19&#160; <font color="#990000">&#187; Intimidate. &gt;:|

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Pay attention. |D;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Different dragon, different area.

Adulian:<b><font color="#990000">&quot;Be good.&quot;

</b>Liatai:<font color="#000000">Glitch, you too. :B

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Hup, hup. :x

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">right, right, sorry

Smaller White Dragon 3:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+9 = 13 + 9 = 22&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; opposed..

Adulian:<font color="#990000">Damn.

Smaller White Dragon 3:<font color="#000000">FSHAAAAAAAH! A tiny cone of cold washes over the group, to no avail thanks to Thomas' wards.

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">The cat leaps on Tom's shoulder once again. It *is* a good place to travel on, isn't it.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt snaps his head around in annoyance.

Adulian:<font color="#990000">ZAP!

Adulian:<font color="#990000">The white dragon gets an electrical shock in retaliation!

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;(Hey! Remember what I told you before. You best behave. And we've got a friend now, and if you behave, we'll make sure he doesn't crush you with his claws, either.)&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus twitches and glowers over his shoulder.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">*In draconic

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..What an insufferable brat that creature is!&quot;

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

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;It's a White.&quot;

Candlestand: <font color="#000000">&quot;Who, me? I'll get down, sorry&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;From what I can tell they're either brats or mentally deficient.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;We're lucky it isn't drooling.&quot;


 * Adulian makes a note, put some points into Intimidation next level.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Just keep moving, we need to get to this cave the Silver mentioned...&quot; Gnogglebolt looks up at the Silver as he leads the way.

Maelgwyn ap Gwardnerth:<font color="#000000">&quot;I am Maelgwyn ap Gwardnerth, I've come to the area to help deal with the attacks on tavellers, but it must be worse than I thouhg if they'd attack you all in the open daylight like this.&quot;

Smaller White Dragon 3:<font color="#000000">&quot;''Wux geou filki svent ve ilrigan! Kivan-virlymi! Sventari! Hofibai! Yagpai!''&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt rolls his eyes at the dragon's outburst.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Keep a hold of it Sszeyl, everyone, I think we'll just have to deal with its tantrum for the moment, as long as it doesn't try actually attacking or escaping.&quot;

Young Silver Dragon:<font color="#000000">&quot;May-l-g-wen ap G-war-d-nerth...&quot; The dragon grins somewhat sheepishly. &quot;I am sorry, your name is hard.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Ignore it, it's just ranting.&quot;

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">Vonain looks to the leading dragon. &quot;How much further to the cave, friend?&quot;

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">&quot;Well ,you could knock it out if it's trouble&quot;

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">*Vonain calls to the Silver

Maelgwyn ap Gwardnerth:<font color="#000000">I never thought so, though I did grow up with it. No doubt I'd mangle your name far worse.&quot;

Huge Silver Dragon:<font color="#000000">The dragon is half-shielding the group with his wings as they hustle, looking ahead grimly, and largely ignoring the chatter. &quot;Here.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt quickly hustles inside, along with Vonain.

Huge Silver Dragon:<font color="#000000">A small cave opening comes into view on the mountainside. &quot;Get in here, quickly. I will block the entrance and bring your friends here. Stay quiet.&quot;

Adulian:<font color="#990000">&quot;That was quick.&quot; :.


 * Adulian ducks into the cave.

Tathi:<font color="#9900FF">Tathi heads in, and has a look around.

Huge Silver Dragon:<font color="#000000">&quot;If something happens, go deeper and follow the worked stone. Tell the dwarves you've been attacked.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Tom hauls the stuff in ...

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">&quot;Right. Now that sounds better&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9900FF">Tathi blinks. &quot;Dwarves?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">... Come to think of it, what is &quot;the stuff&quot;?

Young Silver Dragon:<font color="#000000">&quot;Isdruanir's not hard.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">What cargo did we even have on there beyond just letters and parcels?

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt then moves over to Sszeyl and the white dragon. &quot;Jaka, wux desta qe japachi, unless wux tuor wer indignity di drekim muzzled.&quot;

Maelgwyn ap Gwardnerth:<font color="#000000">letters and food for the people trapped in the mountains

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">(translator has no word for &quot;muzzled&quot;)

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

Malcolm Walker:<font color="#000000">The stuff you're carrying is foodstuffs. Your messenger friend has the pack of letters.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">(...or idignity, or unless...)

VAE:<font color="#000000">Draconic clearly has loanwords

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Yeah, you've got to play around with it sometimes. :B

VAE:<font color="#000000">kinda like hungarian has &quot;lopata&quot; or &quot;macska&quot; from slovak

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Yes...&quot; He sets down his supplies and glances back at the entrance.


 * Thomas Lazarus raises a brow slightly and begins to wonder.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Weatonan is dishonor.

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">The cat begins to lick his paw absentminedly, then stops as it gets *really* uncomfortably fold.

Huge Silver Dragon:<font color="#000000">The cave is dark and somewhat narrow; it's a squeeze to get everyone in the entrance. It continues downward into the mountain, and you can see a worked-stone path.

Tathi:<font color="#9900FF">fold = cold?

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Ack, sacred canine duty. Anyone got a light in this cave?

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt walks with the group until everyone reaches a wide enough point for everyone to settle down from the exitement and take stock of the situation.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Suuure. Tom casts a little Light orison on his fingertip and holds it up.

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">I can probably approximate light myself...

Tathi:<font color="#9900FF">Geezus how long has she had this everburning torch?

Tathi: <font color="#9900ff">(( torch light added ))

Adulian:<font color="#990000">I do not have any light spells prepped, so no. &gt;.&gt;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Once everyone comes to a stop, Gnogglebol looks around and moves near a wall, where he shrugs off his Cargo Pack and leans against the wall, slowly sliding down to a sitting position. He's had the small cloth bundle in his arms the whole time, and now he looks down at it miserably. He leans his head back and closes his eyes, sighing sadly, before he then leans his head forward again and starts murmuring softly. Anyone who's been around Gnogglebolt long enough can tell he's speaking Gnome.

VAE:<font color="#000000">A speaking gnome, who'd ever guess.

VAE:<font color="#000000">I thought they just roared and beat their chests.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt speaks like ten languages.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">not -always- a safe assumption with polyglots. Sheesh.

VAE:<font color="#000000">(Gnomish, not gnome)

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Tom sighs lightly and glances off to the gnome. &quot;...&quot; He decides not to interrupt whatever it is he's saying at the moment.

Tathi:<font color="#9900FF">Tathi watches Gnogglebolt for a bit, and then shakes her head with a sigh. &quot; Can't even bring myself to tell him I told him so. &quot;

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">The cat watches the gnome intently from Tom's shoulder.

Teeny Rin:<font color="#FF0000">WELL HE DIED IN A CONSECRATION AURA SO HE CAN'T BECOME UNDEAD -- *Team Rocket bricked*

Adulian: <font color="#990000">&quot;It might have been the best decision, but I still regret not saving the little guy.&quot;

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">&quot;It is allright. It might not even have wanted to return; animal souls often don't.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Eventually, Gnogglebolt's murmuring drops off, and he opens his eyes again. He then reaches over to his cargo pack and pulls out a mini-shovel tool from his toolkit, finds a soft section of the floor/wall, and starts to dig out a small hole. After he's finished digging, he lays the cloth bundle in it, before covering it back up and saying another few words in Gnommish. Gnogglebolt stays kneeling there for a moment, before he stands up and turns around, wiping one of his eyes as he moves to rejoin the group.

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">&quot;They aren't like human ones&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">Do we need to have the Fish Talk with Gnoggle?

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;And yeah, I know, I know. I shouldn't have brought him with us.&quot; Gnogglebolt says. &quot;It was my fault. Stupid. Was just a pet, had no business being in the places we go.&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus offers the most encouraging shoulder-pat that he can. ^^;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Nor do I fault anyone for not trying to save it with magic, the danger was still present, and someone else could have died who needed it.&quot;

Maelgwyn ap Gwardnerth:<font color="#000000">&quot;Is-draw-near? It really is what one grew up with that makes the difference.&quot;

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">&quot;He'll stay alive in your memories. Everyone who passed on does.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Just...&quot; Gnogglebolt sighs again. &quot;Used to have one when I was a kid. When I found them being sold in Resca and got one...it was like carrying around a little piece of home.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">I can't help but wonder if that Silver realizes we've been bumping off dragons like child's play based on its reaction. Or maybe that's just natural dragon attitude.. =3=c

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

Tathi:<font color="#9900FF">&quot;So, kind of off topic here.. but.. how many dead dragons are we up to now? Is that the sort of thing adventuring parties keep track of?&quot;

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">&quot;Some do, yes.&quot;

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">&quot;Three large ones, and about half a dozen whelps, I think.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;Would you like tattoos?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;To remember the kills by.&quot;

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">&quot;It's definitely a change from hunting rats.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9900FF">&quot;I do not want tattoos.&quot;


 * Edaric has no words, so follow's Tom's lead and gives Gnogglebolt a shoulder-pat.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt looks up appreciatively at both Thomas and Edaric.

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;Lower your voice.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;We're supposed to be quiet.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I don't know... it's kind of a macabre thought.&quot; He doesn't dwell on the topic long, and keeps leading with his finger-light.

Maelgwyn ap Gwardnerth:<font color="#000000">afk a moment

Adulian:<font color="#990000">&quot;More than most, at least.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9900FF">Tathi passes by.. &quot;Sorry Gnogglebolt.. if I had known, I would have taken him with me with the hounds.&quot;


 * Sszeyl sits down, keeping a vice grip on the white, and meditates.

Huge Silver Dragon:<font color="#000000">Are you going deeper into the tunnel, or staying near the entrance?

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">&quot;Macabre? Not really. It's the course of life. Dragons hunt; so do we.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">..Actually, I did get kind of swept up in the idea. You're right; we've no reason to just explore deeper in yet.

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">Neither I nor Gnogglebolt is making any move to head any deeper into a cave than the first space large enough to hold us all comfortably, if no one else does.

Tathi:<font color="#9900FF">Oops, right, we're staying near the dragon, aren'ty we?

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Tom explores the immediate recesses of the cave, but doesn't &quot;leave&quot; or anything, then.

Huge Silver Dragon:<font color="#000000">After the tunnel's entrance is blocked, you hear the dragon's voice outside. &quot;I will return with your companions.&quot;

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

Adulian:<font color="#990000">Yeah, might as well just stay here.

Tathi:<font color="#9900FF">Tathi thinks for a moment. Knowledge check to identify the local dwarven population?

Adulian:<font color="#990000">No need to explore.

Huge Silver Dragon:<font color="#000000">Wingbeats are heard, and you don't hear the dragon anymore.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Guess we're hunkering down for a bit. Take stock of any injuries, make sure all our supplies are accounted for, etcetera...&quot; Gnogglebolt settles down to do just that, as he goes through everything in his cargo pack he grabbed, and also passes by everyone else one by one checking for people who grabbed supplies, and inventory-ing it

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;...&quot; =w=; &quot; It's a kind and noble gesture. But I can't help but feel a little patronized by how it's treating us. We're stronger than he is, aren't we?&quot;

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">&quot;Who knows. With dragons it's hard to say&quot;

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

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+3 = 10 + 3 = 13&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; Wis check!

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;It's okay, Thomas. For one, I'm rather thankful for being blocked off from outside view for the moment.&quot;


 * Swallowtail is casing the cave walls, investigating every nook and cranny.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;True enough. I guess I just got a little too attached to the idea of.. 'our' dragons.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9900FF">Tathi thinks for a moment. Knowledge check to identify the local dwarven population?

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">&quot;Your dragons?&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">You answered your own question within it. ^^;

Jason Storm:<font color="#000000">&quot;Your dragons?&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9900FF">Tathi closes her eyes briefly.. and opens her mind to the wealth of knowledge within. Loremaster check. &#171; &#160;1d20+12+5 = 18 + 12 + 5 = 35&#160; <font color="#9900FF">&#187; knoweldge check, much like bardic knowledge, on various topics.

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">The cat looks puzzled

Liatai:<font color="#000000">... Local, you goof. XP

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Some polite golds we know. They act like pretty ordinary city-folk. Perhaps out here, it's different.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">After some time of taking stock of who grabbed what (not doing it OOC), Gnogglebolt whistles. &quot;Man, when you guys grab up for evacuation, you guys really grab up.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9900FF">Yeah. Don't have it.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;It looks like we managed to save all our own supplies, plus all the deliveries we took on.&quot;

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">&quot;Well, maybe they have reasons for lying low.&quot;

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">&quot;A hunting cat doesn't announce it's presence either.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;There is also the fact that we don't do subtlty.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;Plots and plans unweave around us, the Arguing Guardians.&quot;

Adulian:<font color="#990000">&quot;Eh, I've never been one for subtlety myself.&quot;


 * Edaric is pacing nervously.

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">&quot;The most amusing name I ever heard for a group like this&quot;

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">&quot;How did you come by it?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot; It kind of birthed itself.&quot; =w=;

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">&quot;I mean, you do argue a fair bit, but still&quot;

Maelgwyn ap Gwardnerth:<font color="#000000">sorry, back

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

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

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Please, guys, don't encourage negative reputations.&quot;

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">&quot;Come on, arguing guardians even sounds better. &quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Bad enough it got started on its own, it doesn't need any help from us.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;Please Gnoggle. Don't support the negative reputation.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;By being an argumentative little prick in the same league as Miron sometimes.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9900FF">Tathi just breaks out laughing, before slapping a hand over her mouth.

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;Note I said sometimes.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9900FF">&quot;I-I'm sorry but he's right, you just reinforced the name, Gnogglebolt.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt just casts a crazy-eyebrow-raise at Sszeyl and makes a dismissive noise as he shakes his head and continues inventorying.

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">&quot;And it isn't negative reputation. 's something that catches the ear, see?&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus sighs a bit and checks everyone over.

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">&quot;'s how I heard about you lot, walking about a tavern, listening to a few folks mention the arguing guardians cleaning up the Lundy estate&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..You're not still wounded, are you?&quot; He checks in with Gnoggle.


 * Edaric is practically wearing a rut into the floor pacing. &quot;Everyone's okay, right? Any injuries?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;No, I'm fine, I managed to avoid the worst of the blows.&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#9900FF">&quot;Fine here, Ed. Yourself?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Too slow Ed. \o/

Edaric:<font color="#000000">Ninja'd!

Adulian:<font color="#990000">&quot;I am unharmed.&quot;

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">&quot;Vigilant this and vigilant that there's a pound for a penny. But Arguing Guardians are only one.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot; It's really tight in here. &quot; He fiddles with his cloak collar.

Tathi:<font color="#9900FF">&quot;You know, Candlestand has a point. I've never heard of any company with arguing in its name. Did we just strike a novelty?&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#9900FF">Aelian glances at Edaric.. and then looks around a bit. Is there a larger portion of the cave complex, maybe?

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;Speaking of.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">Sszeyl beans Tathi in the head with the outfit she forgot.

Huge Silver Dragon:<font color="#000000">The adult silver returns to the raptorans and small one after a while.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;It's alright, don't worry. There's plenty of passage in the back.. and I'm sure it won't be long. Sir Maelgwyn and company weren't that far off.&quot; {:3

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt just presses a hand to his face. &quot;I'm not going along with it.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh, right and this.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">And then beans Kor with the key.

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">&quot;Aww, you're no fun.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9900FF">&quot;Ack-what.&quot; She says, blinking at the outfit. Was this 'painted'?

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">&quot;Gnomes are supposed to be fun, aren't they?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">Yes.

Tathi:<font color="#9900FF">&quot;How do you even do this?&quot; She muses, scrutinizing the outfit.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;You have a strange definition of fun, cat. But then again, cats are strange.&quot;

GM:<font color="#000000">The passage, from what you can see, is about this low and narrow all around. You've reached a point where you can stand comfortably, but you can still tell pretty clearly that this tunnel was made by dwarves, for dwarves.

Maelgwyn ap Gwardnerth: <font color="#0">(( to bad we lost our dwarf in miron ))

Aelian:<font color="#9900FF">&quot; Sorry Ed.. it only gets worse from here. &quot;

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

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">Sszeyl waves his hand and leaves a small rainbow behind.

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">Vonain looks towards the entrance as he hears it opened back up and the arrival of the SIlvers and the raptorans.

VAE:<font color="#000000">yeah, I kinda wish he was here

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;Magic.&quot; :|

Liatai:<font color="#000000">It's not opened back up. ^^;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">The adult just returned to the site of the raptorans and smaller silver.

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">I thought you said they return--ooohh

Teeny Rin:<font color="#FF0000">The dragon flew off at Akellon speeds.

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">&quot;Depends on the point of view I guess. As far as I'm concerned, cats are the most ordinary beings in the whole of Akellon.&quot;

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">returned -there-


 * Maelgwyn ap Gwardnerth bows to the adult silver &quot;My thanks, were there any injuries?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Really? Back in Mazio, my neighbor had this cat.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;As far as anyone could tell, it hated people. You try to pet it, and after a few seconds, it's gnawing on your fingers.&quot;

Huge Silver Dragon:<font color="#000000">&quot;Mercifully, none.&quot; The adult lowers his head to investigate the smaller one, making low rumbles of Draconic.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;....And at the same time, it seemed to hate being alone and away from people.&quot;

Meany:<b><font color="#000000">&quot;I WILL FEAST ON YOUR SOUL&quot;

</b><font color="#000000"> &quot;Ack, bad kitty!&quot; &quot;DIE, MORTAL&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;It would always find someone, flop next to them, and go to sleep.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;If the person moved, it would get up and follow them.&quot;

Huge Silver Dragon:<font color="#000000">&quot;They've been sequestered in a nearby cavern. Can you fly?&quot;

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">&quot;And what's so strange about that? Being alone is boring.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt rolls his eyes, not even surprised that the cat missed the point.

Maelgwyn ap Gwardnerth:<font color="#000000">&quot;I can, though nowhere near as swift as you.&quot;

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">&quot;And well, I guess you wouldn't like it either if every time you appeared somewhere people tried to touch you, eh? :3&quot;


 * Edaric seizes on the opportunity to be distracted by stories. &quot;Sounds a little like LiNeer, but without the snuggly part.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Remember? 'Mr. Ebonwood's' cat.&quot; Ed covers one eye. .3

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Ah yeah, LiNeer...

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;LiNeer has secretly crept up and headbonked my shins before.&quot; |D

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Then ran off before anyone saw.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Wow, really?&quot; X3

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...Come to think of it, I haven't visited Zairith in a long while...not since the month I got together with everyone.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;LiNeer also becomes gelatinous if you give her catniip.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Wonder how he's doing.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">MEANWHILE.

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">&quot;Catnip?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">IN THE HALL OF NERD.

Jason Storm:<font color="#000000">&quot;Zairith Ebonwood. Strange name. Half-elven?&quot;

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

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">The ca's attention suddenly snaps onto Sszely

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Ohhhh... I saw him... not all that long ago. He's doing just fine.&quot;

Huge Silver Dragon:<font color="#000000">&quot;We'll fly slowly, then.&quot;


 * Maelgwyn ap Gwardnerth nods, and prepares to fly

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">Sszeyl produces the sprig of it from earlier.

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">8|

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">=O.O= WANT

Huge Silver Dragon:<font color="#000000">Grrrrrrrrrrrnnnnnn... The people in the cavern hear the rocks being slid away after a short while.

Adulian:<font color="#990000">&quot;Seems they've returned.&quot;

Huge Silver Dragon:<font color="#000000">Maelgwyn, Bryne, feel free to rejoin RPs. :3

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">HEEEEERE'S SCALEY.

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">Vonain looks towards the entrance as he hears it opened back up and the arrival of the SIlvers and the raptorans. (repost!)


 * Adulian heads straight for the entrance.

Adulian:<font color="#990000">&quot;Liebe, are you okay?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">Sszeyl waves the sprig around.

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">The cat continues watching Sszeyl's hand with the sprig, ignoring the dragons

Adulian:<font color="#990000">I-its not like I was worried or anything. &gt;.&gt;

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">&quot;Ah, welcome back, friend Silver Dragon. Thank you for your aid and the location of this shelter, by the way.&quot;

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">'Do we need to move in deeper to the cave to allow you room? If so, how far and what should we expect?&quot;

Maelgwyn ap Gwardnerth:<font color="#000000">&quot;I've told you my name is Maelgwyn. And I'm fine, I'm not the one that was fighting dragons...I was just helping dig them out of avalanches.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Tom walks back towards the mouth.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Welcome back. Are the skies clear..?&quot;

Maelgwyn ap Gwardnerth:<font color="#000000">&quot;As far as I could tell.&quot;

Maelgwyn ap Gwardnerth:<font color="#000000">&quot;But I'm no scout either.&quot;

Aelian: <font color="#9900ff">(( imma be somewhat distracted. orderin' pizza ))

Adulian:<font color="#990000">&quot;Ah, yes. Of course. Just making sure.&quot;

Huge Silver Dragon:<font color="#000000">The people looking back toward the entrance see a big old dragon face peering in, and a small one squeezing by to enter the cavern.

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

Smaller White Dragon 3:<font color="#000000">&quot;Orn hofiba.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9900FF">&quot;Oh my gods he's just as cute as Terri!&quot; Tathi squeals upon sight of the smaller dragon.

Maelgwyn ap Gwardnerth:<font color="#000000">&quot;Though thomas, the young one here might be in need of aid. broken wing under the rocks we dug ...him, her? I'm sorry, but I have no clue really...out from under.&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus rubs the bridge of his nose.

Isdruanir:<font color="#000000">The small dragon, still wounded, makes a sound oddly like an eep and draws its wings tighter to itself -- well, as well as it can manage -- at the sudden squeal. o_o;;;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Oh, is that so..?&quot; He snaps to attention and approaches the silver.

Tathi:<font color="#9900FF">&quot;Oh gods, he's hurt! Edaric! Thomas! Heal the little one!&quot; Tathi says, rushing over.

Huge Silver Dragon:<font color="#000000">&quot;Is everyone still here, and whole?&quot; the larger dragon asks the cavern. (The larger one is also wounded, but details.)

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Hello. I'm Thomas.&quot; He beams and indicates his amulet. &quot;If you would, I'd be happy to heal you in Pelor's name.&quot;

Adulian:<font color="#990000">&quot;Yeah, we're all here.&quot;

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">&quot;We are all fine and secure, for the moment.&quot; Vonain calls back to the large dragon. &quot;Can you enter, or does this cave connect to another that we can meet up with you in?&quot;

Isdruanir:<font color="#000000">&quot;Thomas. That's an easier name. Can you heal my dad too?&quot;

Meany:<font color="#000000">&quot;Pelor? We're Lendysians here.&quot;

Meany:<font color="#000000">&quot;I think it's best if you tie yourself to the giant stake so we can burn you.&quot;

Bryne ap Emyr:<font color="#000000">Bryne approaches tathi &quot;How serious was the battle? It seemed to be over soon after you contacted us, did things turna round quickly, or were you just exagerating the danger?&quot;

Meany:<font color="#000000">&quot;But we breathe ice.&quot;

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">And as Sszeyl is watching the dragon, the cat springs itself up, and &#171; &#160;1d20+12 = 5 + 12 = 17&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; Jumps from Tom's shoulder to his.

Meany:<font color="#000000">&quot;WE'LL FREEZERBURN HIM, THEN, GOD STEVE.&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus eyerolls. &quot; Yes.. but it's rude and frightening to rush a stranger, for healing or not.&quot; Tom stoops and prepares some magic regardless. A blue glow comes over his hand. Heal check first to see what I'm shooting for on these dragons. &#171; &#160;1d20+18 = 20 + 18 = 38&#160;  &#187;

Huge Silver Dragon:<font color="#000000">The dragon's mouth twitches into a half-smile. &quot;You are clearly not local.&quot; And then the dragon starts to... shrink? Its scaly beard is starting to change color, too. Its wings fold in close to its body, forming intricate curves of armor.

Meany:<font color="#000000">If you turn it into Esaleth.

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh. Right.&quot;

Meany:<font color="#000000">So help me god.

Meany:<b><font color="#000000">Oh good.

</b>Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">&quot;You know, I up and forgot about that.&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">The prettiest dwarf to have ever lived.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Did I mention it in larger chat?

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Lemme grab the MM for Tom really quick.

VAE:<font color="#000000">A valid anagram of Esaleth is &quot;Eh, stale&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9900FF">Tathi glances up at Bryne. &quot;They got the steam truck thing.. and, well, his pet sparker too. Poor little guy.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">It's just a logistics thing really.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">I just need to know if I'm using 1 cure or 50 cures. ^^;

Tathi: <font color="#9900ff">(( pizza ordered. LOVERS IS DELIVIOUS ))

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt also approaches, noting the 'dwarf'.

Tokens dropped onto map 'Mountain Pass'Esaleth, Armored:<font color="#9900FF">YOU RANG?

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">And candle mrows into Sszeyl's ear. Catnip gimme &gt;:3

Bryne ap Emyr: <font color="#000000">&quot;You should of informed us of that then, so we'd know the extent of the danger.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Alright, so, uh...You know, I don't think we caught your name. Should we get introductions out of the way, while we're secure? I'm Gnogglebolt.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9900FF">&quot;Hey, not exactly easy to keep track of a mental link that is just thrust upon you. And next time? Ask permission, okay?&quot;

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">Vonain

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">erk

Adulian:<font color="#990000">Bishie Drawf.

Bryne ap Emyr: <font color="#000000">&quot;It wouldn't of been needed if you hadn't chosen the foolish action of riding in that deathtrap&quot;

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

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">Vonain bows to the 'dwarf'. &quot;I am Vonain, or you may call me Goldeneye if you want.&quot;

Tathi: <font color="#9900ff">(( bishies can't have beards ))

VAE:<font color="#000000">They can

Tathi: <font color="#9900ff">(( that is 'disturbingly handsome&quot; ))

VAE:<font color="#000000">Even I agree the dwarf is a bishie

Meany:<font color="#000000">Bisenins can, though.

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

Isdruanir:<font color="#000000">The younger one is far more severely wounded. 18/85. The older one is sporting wounds, but is in comparatively much better shape; 147/253.


 * VAE also really jealous of its moustache.

Tathi: <font color="#9900ff">(( oops, need to get puppy dogfood ))

Adulian:<font color="#990000">&quot;I am Adulian, Chandak of the Spirit Walker tribe. Pleased to make your acquaintance.&quot;

Bryne ap Emyr: <font color="#000000">&quot;And staying in communication after one ambush already, was just good sense.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9900FF">&quot;Oh gods.&quot; Tathi wails. &quot;Edaric! Get over here and help! The kid's injured badly!&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Holy moly this is gonna take as much positive energy as I feared.

Tathi: <font color="#9900ff">(( now afkish ))

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot; Calm down, please. It'll be alright.&quot;

Huge Silver... Dwarf?:<font color="#000000">&quot;Do not tire yourselves unduly. Heal Isdruanir. I can endure.&quot;


 * VAE pokes owl, noticed Candle leaping on Sszeyl's shoulder and demanding catnip at the ear?

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">Vonain approaches and pulls out a want. &quot;This light curative wand is half-spent, but I can use it if it is required.&quot;

Huge Silver... Dwarf?:<font color="#000000">&quot;... Now, which one of you is the Wyrmseed.&quot; &gt;:|

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

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

Huge Silver... Dwarf?:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yes. That.&quot;

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">&quot;This one, the old man.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt points to Sszeyl. &quot;At any rate, ah...could we have a name to refer to you, friend dragon?&quot;

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

Adulian:<font color="#990000">I didn't prep any healing spells today. &gt;.&gt;

Adulian:<font color="#990000">Otherwise I would totally help.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">... I'm going to make this easy on myself. I'm going to take the average healing from a cure moderate wounds wand, of which I have 53 charges, as 12 points. They need about 173 healing. Thomas spends 15 charges over the course of a little over a minute, and knits the extensive dragon wounds up.

Tathi: <font color="#9900ff">(( back ))

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">It'll take the course of a conversation, but Tom goes around gingerly touching points of wounds with the gently glowing wand, closing them up and dabbing the pain away.

Huge Silver... Dwarf?:<font color="#000000">&quot;That roar could be heard for miles. You and all your company are in grave danger --&quot; The dwarf gruffly sighs. &quot;... Markalith will do. And I am no friend of that thing you walk with.&quot; &gt;:|


 * Thomas Lazarus frowns. &quot;..It's not actually him, you know.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;They're separate.&quot;

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">&quot;Uh, doesn't that roar sort of defeat the point of us being quiet for the last hour?&quot;

Adulian:<font color="#990000">&quot;Thomas speaks the truth, Markalith.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;I think he means that the whites will be searching everywhere outside the cave, cat.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9900FF">Tathi has been.. hugging the poor little dragon the entire time. ^.^

Isdruanir:<font color="#000000">&quot;Dad, is this normal for elves?&quot; o_o;

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">&quot;Then having them hear where we are is a bad idea, yes?&quot;

Adulian:<font color="#990000">&quot;I have seen it for myself. There are two other Spirits that have a significant presence within him.&quot;

Markalith:<font color="#000000">&quot; Very little is 'normal' for elves. &quot;

Aelian:<font color="#9900FF">&quot;This is not an elf this is a Tathi.&quot; =3=

Adulian:<font color="#990000">&quot;But they are well and truely separate.&quot;

Adulian:<font color="#990000">Seperate?

Adulian:<font color="#990000">I can never remember that one.

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">separate

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;And yes, ah...Markalith...we are aware of the issue with our friend, who carries the spirit of the old red dragon in him. The entire reason we're -in- these mountains is to get him to the Citadel, where one of the five dragons who originally killed the Red is waiting to complete the seal.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">Sep-er-ate.

Markalith:<font color="#000000">&quot;I am aware.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;And then we can begin the process of actually ridding our friend of the Red.&quot;

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">owl I hope you're trolling

Sszeyl: <font color="#0">(( Maybe. 83 ))

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">A bit of blue smoke wafts off the curing wand after a while, with the tip glowing like some sort of saphire coal. It's actually really pretty. \o/

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..There we are. All better.&quot; ^^


 * Adulian eyes glow an electric blue briefly as she activates her Spirit Sight for a moment, before fading back to their normal color.

Markalith:<font color="#000000">&quot;Why you chose the longest path in that regard is beyond me, but no help for that now...&quot; The dwarf-dragon blinks.

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">&quot;Maybe we just like walking&quot;

Isdruanir:<font color="#000000">&quot;Thank you, sun-son.&quot; :3

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">The cat smiles


 * Thomas Lazarus smirks at the title. &quot;You're very welcome.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;I advocated Monkshood.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;But no.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9900FF">&quot;See? Now you're all better!&quot; She says, still hugging the poor little dragon.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Wuz the dragon blinking at? &gt;:.

Adulian:<font color="#990000">&quot;I believe we were trying to make it through with that powered wagon the Whites destroyed.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Now, then..&quot; He folds his arms into his robe sleeves. &quot;With all that excitement behind us.&quot;

Adulian:<font color="#990000">&quot;The...Tricktruck?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">Pet pet pet the cat.

Markalith:<font color="#000000">At being completely healed. &quot;... Perhaps I underestimated you. Rare is the mortal that can spare the energy required to return one, much less two, dragons to health in moments.&quot;

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">*purr*

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;And--yes. This path was the shallowest, and had the vehicle not been destroyed, I could have gotten us to the Citadel faster than any other path. As it is, I'm still glad we had it. If it weren't for the trucktrain taking the first blows ablatively, those rocks the whites dropped could have outright killed any one of us if we were walking...&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...As it is, I'm going to have to....improvise, now.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Could you tell us what you know of this trouble in the mountains..? We've had nothing but guesses to go on.&quot; He frowns, a bit guiltily. &quot;..I'm sure this is our fault.. indirectly, but even so.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;We did kill three whites on the way here.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Unless you've got some faster way of getting us up.&quot;

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">&quot;That we did&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;One legitimate warrior, one transvestite, and one idiot who got itself blinded.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;The transvestite put up the best fight.&quot;

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">&quot;Trawhat?&quot;

Smaller White Dragon 3:<font color="#000000">The white dragon hisses


 * Thomas Lazarus facepalms.

Adulian:<font color="#990000">&quot;Trucktrain, that's it.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh! And that reminds me.&quot; Gnogglebolt points a little further down the cave, at the chained up white. &quot;We managed to capture one of the young dragon whelp--&quot; Gnogglebolt then turns to the white dragon.

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;So you do understand the Common speech.&quot;

Markalith:<font color="#000000">The dwarf frowns. &quot;Explain first why you have a young white in chains.&quot;

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">&quot;Because we could&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh, yes, that.&quot; That's what I was about to say.&quot;

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">&quot;And because it might know things.|

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;We wanted to bring it to you. Or rather, any Silvers from the Citadel.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;We were hoping you'd have some success at interrogating it.&quot;

Smaller White Dragon 3:<font color="#000000">&quot;Si geou svent wux shio,&quot; it hisses.

Markalith:<font color="#000000">The dwarf pinches the bridge of his broad nose.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Well...&quot; He glances back to it, and then to the dragon. &quot;Our first battle up here was with one adult White and many smaller ones, such as he. They attacked us, obviously. We managed to subdue him last, and non-lethally.&quot;

Maelgwyn ap Gwardnerth:<font color="#000000">&quot;It is doubtful they would of used the rocks on people on horses. One doesn't use a catapult stone against a loose formation of troops, but agaisnt castles. your deathtrap was a large and easily hit target&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9900FF">Tathi sighs, scritching the little dragon right behind those little ear frills. &quot;They have some vain idea it can be redeemed or something. Sorry scaly one.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;... and also -maybe- raise it to adulthood so that it's not rampaging like its kin&quot;

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">&quot;Ehh.. rocks cost nothing. If you're flying over someone, you might as well.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;I would be outvoted if I showed a different opinion.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;We thought... perhaps... it could be of some informative use. Nevermind that an execution as a matter-of-course seemed a little distasteful.&quot;

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">'They'd be fools not to use an opportunity like that&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus shoots Tathi a look. &quot; Why do you keep saying that..&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9900FF">She points at Gnogglebolt. &quot; Need you ask? &quot;

Maelgwyn ap Gwardnerth:<font color="#000000">&quot;They cost the advantage of suprise. It's foolish to use a weapon that's not likely to work, when other methods are more likely to work right off the bat.&quot;

Isdruanir:<font color="#000000">&quot; Please stop, miss strange elf. &quot;

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

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">&quot;This is an open country. One can see a flying dragon for miles&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;But yes, primarily, we were hoping you could learn something from the white, Markalith.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I don't know. I realized that could have been a pointless gesture from the start.&quot;

Maelgwyn ap Gwardnerth:<font color="#000000">&quot;Flying yes. Even back at town they were mentioneing dragons hiding in the snow.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...And yes, we also don't like executing things that are no longer any threat to us.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;But it seemed worth trying. For all we know, which is nothing, this event is also a mystery to your kind.&quot;

Adulian:<font color="#990000">&quot;...Since when were we planning on trying to have it raised to adulthood?&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9900FF">&quot; Aww, but you're so cute! &quot; She says, but lets the dragon go. FLEE WHILE YOU CAN.

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">&quot;You were? Why?&quot;

Isdruanir:<font color="#000000">Ker-hide behind dwarfdad. o.o;

Adulian:<font color="#990000">&quot;I was under the impression that the non-metallic dragons were nasty by default.&quot; :.

Tathi:<font color="#9900FF">Tathi stands up. &quot;Chromatic. They are.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;Gnogglebolt, you don't like executing things.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;Do not speak as if you speak for all of us.&quot;

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">Non-metallic dragons also tend to make covalent bonds

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">See, this is why I was asking about racial alignment philosophy earlier. Should I say 'Gasp! That's biggotry! &gt;:o' or 'Yes, of course. That's how the world works. \o/'

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">POLITICAL CORRECTNESS D|

Markalith:<font color="#000000">&quot;You're not here for a philosophy debate or a history lesson,&quot; the dragon says gruffly. &quot;Ask if you have questions.&quot;

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">HAHAHA

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;How bad is it out there?&quot;

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

Tathi:<font color="#9900FF">&quot;Wow.&quot; Tathi says, turning to Mark. Yeah that name is gonna stick. &quot;Your impression of a dwarf is spot on.&quot;

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">&quot;What do you know of what's going on?&quot;

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">&quot;The simplest question&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;We heard a rumor there was a red...&quot; He trails.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Indeed. What can you tell us about this whole dragon rampage thing?&quot;

Maelgwyn ap Gwardnerth:<font color="#000000">&quot;Any clues as to where they may eb lairing?&quot;

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">&quot;Let's take it from aasimars.&quot;

Markalith:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yet the most complex.&quot; The dwarf frowns at the elf. &quot;The stout folk are honorable and admirable. I find no shame in such a statement.&quot;

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">Miron would have *loved* this one

Adulian:<font color="#990000">&quot;If we can find out where their lair is, then we can maybe finish this in one fell swoop.&quot;

Markalith:<font color="#000000">&quot;You will first take that offense against Tamara to the Citadel.&quot; :|

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..Let's not get too ahead of ourselves.&quot; ^^;

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">&quot;That we will. But you haven't quite answered yet :3&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Yes, sir. T'was the plan. ... Sadly our vehicle is now destroyed, and we've no horses.&quot; {:|

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;Are you referring to me, the White, or Gnogglebolt's devices?&quot;

Markalith:<font color="#000000">... Sigh. &quot;I will tell you what I can. We do not lair at the Citadel, and thus the politics of the situation are somewhat beyond my grasp.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;It's so hard to tell anymore.&quot;

Markalith:<font color="#000000">&quot;I am referring to you,&quot; the dwarf growls gruffly.

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">&quot;Fair enough. Can't ask for what you don't know, friend.&quot;

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

Adulian: <font color="#990000">&quot;Bossy, isn't he?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">I assume it's a dragon thing and Terri is just super-nice to us.

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;He's a dragon. They all have that to various degrees. The Torises just have unnaturally low amounts.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;Except Brian.&quot;

Tathi: <font color="#9900ff">(( back from unannounced afk. pizza came early, and then spilled something. ))

Adulian: <font color="#990000">&quot;You'd think he'd be more grateful, considering we've killed three Whites and healed both him and his youngling.&quot;

<font color="#990000"> &gt;:|

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Ignore these jerks, I want to hear your story. D| *bricked*

Candlestand: <font color="#000000">&quot;Grateful doesn't mean tossing your pride away.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;If I may ask, Markalith, might you have anything that could aid us in getting to the Citadel in a timely manner? If not, that's fine, we still have our own ways.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">Pet pet pet the cat.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;But if you have any assistance to render, we would appreciate it.&quot;

Markalith:<font color="#000000">&quot;Several months ago, there was a concentrated invading force from the northwest. White dragons and kobolds, largely, with varied mercenaries. They fought and clawed for positions along the major trade routes, attempting to surround the citadel on all southern and western roads, waylaying travellers and destroying caravans. Many local tribes have also dwindled sharply in number thanks to their searching and predation.&quot;

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">*purr purr purr* The cat rubs his head against Sszeyl's cheek

Tathi:<font color="#9900FF">&quot;Tamara? Draconic goddess of valor? Fitting choice for a silver dragon, but one who mimics a dwarf? Curious. I would have thought you'd be purely Bahamet.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt rubs his chin. 'Several months'...would that coincide with the first seal on Sszeyl, I wonder?

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">No.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">*internal thoughts, not said aloud*

Glitch:<font color="#000000">OOC, I have a pretty good guess. :B

Glitch:<font color="#000000">but Gnogglebolt doesn't know about it. :B

Markalith:<font color="#000000">&quot;We know now that they were searching for you, though it took extensive interrogation and investigation to discover this, and the input of Skysinger Calaserian.&quot;

Sszeyl: <font color="#0">(( The campaign has only been about four to five months. ))

Sszeyl: <font color="#0">(( Several means seven to ten. ))

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">He sighs. &quot;..As I feared.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">Adn now I have a good OOC guess

Thomas Lazarus: <font color="#ff0000">(( Several is a completely ambiguous volume. :B ))

Maelgwyn ap Gwardnerth: <font color="#0">(( several can mean any variable higher than 2 really ))

VAE:<font color="#000000">No

Markalith:<font color="#000000">&quot;However, that is not all they have done. Now that they have us in a defensive position, they have started to resort to other tactics.&quot; He lays a hand on the young dragon beside him.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt raises an eyebrow. &quot;All this...just for Sszeyl, who has been galavanting around Central and Western Akellon this whole time?&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">It's one, a pair, a few, a number of, several, many

VAE:<font color="#000000">a ton, a fuckton

Markalith:<font color="#000000">&quot;They have begun kidnapping our youth when they stray too far from their parents.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">a metric fuckton

Tathi:<font color="#9900FF">Tathi's eyes narrow, dangerously. &quot;I suddenly have the urge to up our adventurer count. Of slain dragons. A lot.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt's eyes widen.

Maelgwyn ap Gwardnerth: <font color="#0">(( really none of those matter much. english is too ambiguous ))

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">&quot;So do I. Attacking the young is just vile&quot;

Markalith:<font color="#000000">&quot;I feared at first you were resorting to a similar tactic to draw out the whites, hence the questioning.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Garl's gold....I...fear the worst of what they may be doing...&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...Oh. Goodness no.&quot;

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">&quot;What would that be?&quot;

Smaller White Dragon 3:<font color="#000000">&quot; Si geou svent wux. &quot;

Adulian:<font color="#990000">&quot;I believe this puts more pirority on our original mission, Liebe.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;We only just got here. We had no idea the whole dragon rampaging problem was going on until we reached the foot of the mountain.&quot;

Maelgwyn ap Gwardnerth:<font color="#000000">&quot;Have you been able to determine if they are keeping them alive or not?&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9900FF">&quot;Goodness no. I know well enough that chromatics barely care for their young. Why, they were using theirs as battle fodder!&quot;

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">'They're like flies, aren't they. Lay a thousand young, and hope that a few survive and grow.&quot;

Markalith:<font color="#000000">&quot;No. They are taken alive whenever the whites can manage it, that is all we know.&quot; The dwarf's arm finds its way around the young dragon's shoulders, holding tighter to the small one. &quot;They have... deposited corpses on the roads outside of the citadel, but the number taken is far more than the number... returned.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;When the first adult White Dragon attacked us along with its children, and after we killed all but the one you see, it just seemed like a good idea at the time to bring it with us.&quot;


 * Isdruanir leans closer to his father.

Tathi:<font color="#9900FF">Tathi seethes through her teeth. &quot;Okay. I have heard enough.&quot; She says angerly, and turns to the others.

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">Vonain's eyes are closed thoughtfully.

Bryne ap Emyr: <font color="#000000">&quot;Doesn't anyone have access to scrying or tracking magic?&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9900FF">&quot;Let's get Sszeyl to our next super dracon, and then go dragon hunting.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..I am sorry.&quot; He remains sober for a moment. &quot;We came up here seeking Calaserian. I believe he's expecting us.&quot;

Markalith:<font color="#000000">&quot;Of course, wind-child. We are dragons.&quot; Huff.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;But we did not anticipate.. this.&quot;

Bryne ap Emyr: <font color="#000000">&quot;Then wouldn't you at least know where they have been taken?&quot;

Markalith:<font color="#000000">&quot;Wherever they are being kept is as tightly warded as our Citadel itself.&quot;

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">&quot;I do not disagree with that course of action.&quot; Vonain says to Tathi, with eyes still closed.

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">&quot;I third it&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9900FF">&quot;Bryne. Every single spell in existance has a countermeasure. Even whites, the dumbest of all dragons, know this.&quot;

Bryne ap Emyr: <font color="#000000">&quot;It is warded as they travel to it? Track them as they are taken, and you'd at least know where the ward begins.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Agreed, after we've gotten Sszeyl to the Citadel, I'm willing to help in any way I can with this incursion.&quot;

Markalith:<font color="#000000">&quot;All we do know is this; there is red dragon involvement. A full-blooded red has been sighted on occasion, to say nothing of the 'diplomat.'&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9900FF">&quot;They would not tassle with silvers, some of the strongest of dragons, without being prepared! They are not THAT dumb.&quot;

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">&quot;Diplomat?&quot;

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">Vonain's eyes snap open. &quot;Diplomat?&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9900FF">She looks back. &quot;Diplomat?&quot;

Tathi: <font color="#9900ff">(( keep it up come on! ))

Adulian:<font color="#990000">&quot;Explain?&quot;

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">All said simultaneously x3

Teeny Rin:<font color="#FF0000">AROO?

Tathi: <font color="#9900ff">(( RAM, I am disappoint. ))

Bryne ap Emyr: <font color="#000000">&quot;There are ways around every countermeasure, if one is willing to look.&quot;

Bryne ap Emyr: <font color="#000000">&quot;Sometimes one must be...indirect. but the job can be accomplished.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9900FF">&quot;True, but here's the catch. All of those counter to counters require you to know WHERE the counter is. Tricky business, see?&quot;

Bryne ap Emyr: <font color="#000000">&quot;Only for those who's minds only think in straight lines.&quot;

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">&quot;Arcane magic is complicated something silly.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;Are we becoming the Debating Guardians, now?&quot;

Markalith:<font color="#000000">&quot;I know very little of her. Only that she is red-blooded.&quot;

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">&quot;All counters and counters to counters, sounds like when folks play cards in the pub.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9900FF">&quot;Her? Redblooded? A half-dragon?&quot; Tathi muses.

Markalith:<font color="#000000">&quot;A woman of red dragon blood approached the citadel gates roughly two weeks ago, at night, followed by a small army of kobolds, under a flag of truce. She delivered a message that once the Wyrmseed, the Ithaeledarok, was found and surrendered, the attacks would cease, then departed.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;We could speculate in here.. I've my guesses. But it would be nothing more than speculating in a cave, wouldn't it?&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9900FF">Tathi sighs. &quot;Liars, I bet.&quot;

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">&quot;Does it matter?&quot;

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;No.&quot;

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">&quot;Not like we're giving him to them either way.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;We've heard That one before.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9900FF">She looks to Mark again. &quot;So.. how might we go about getting to the Citadel then?&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9900FF">&quot; Hey, Gnogglebolt, idea. &quot; She says in an aside.

Tathi:<font color="#9900FF">&quot; We should call it the Devil's Bargain. &quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;We need to get Sszeyl up to Calaserian.. for a variety of reasons. The least of all not being regrouping and helping to break this siege.&quot; &gt;:c

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Right, which brings us back to my earlier question; can you aid us in getting to the Citadel, or must we make it on our own?&quot;

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">&quot;Why so?&quot;

Markalith:<font color="#000000">&quot;I have heard that she mentioned a name, but what it was is beyond me.&quot; He folds his arms, and thinks a moment.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt then snorts under his breath. &quot; That's...I actually like that one, Tathi. Good one.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9900FF">She grins, and turns back to Mark.

Markalith:<font color="#000000">&quot;... I cannot leave my mate alone to guard our other children for how long it would take to deliver you completely to the Citadel. However... I will do what I can. I can guard and guide you to the opening of the Ghergaltiui Path. It will be the kindest to those of you who are wingless and clawless, and also reasonably controlled by the dragons of the Citadel.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;Did the name start with a V, perchance?&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9900FF">&quot;That's really all we need. We can handle ourselves once we know the way.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Alright. Then, after all the excitement we've had today, if we can get some sleep...&quot;


 * Markalith frowns. &quot;I would remember if it were the one you have in your skull.&quot; &gt;:\

Aelian:<font color="#9900FF">Aelian steps forward. &quot;I'm an experienced tracker and traveler. If there is a map or some such, that would help greatly.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;I can have something ready tomorrow that should speed us along.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Uh, Aelian, I got maps back in town...&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9900FF">&quot;No!&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt pulls said maps out.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Thank you. We've defeated their patrols so far. Your help is a boon we appreciate; we can manage some more with that, and on our own.&quot;

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">&quot;Indeed. If it doesn't get too much worse, we'll be fine&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;At any rate, walking is clearly out of the question...&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9900FF">&quot;No more crazy contraptions! Can we travel as normal folk, just once!?&quot;

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">&quot;How do normal folk travel?&quot;

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

Tathi:<font color="#9900FF">&quot;Without explosions.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;While holding hands.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;And singing.&quot;

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">&quot;I don't have hands&quot;

Markalith:<font color="#000000">&quot;Likely wise to seek rest. However...&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus stares flatly into space. &quot;...&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;You can have gnogglebolt's hands.&quot;

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">&quot;Too big.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9900FF">&quot;I could shrink them?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;If we all had horses, maybe. But right now, what we need is speed, Tathi, and unless you can figure out some kind of teleport, or someone else can come up with a magical way to get us there, we can not afford to walk.&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#9900FF">Aelian groans.

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">Throughout the conversation, the cat is smirking. &quot;That'd do it. Gnogglebolt, may I borrow your hands? I need to see if they'll be a good fit.&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#9900FF">I can only IMAGINE the dragon's facial expression. |P

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;--Wait, what? Hands?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...Why do you want to see my hands?&quot;

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yes, hands. Preferably at elbow.&quot;

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">&quot;To see if they'll fit.&quot;

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

Markalith:<font color="#000000">&quot;This cavern is somewhat... cramped for a group of this size. If you wish for rest, we can travel the tunnels here northward. There is a traveller's rest near the entrance of the basin. We can make it there before nightfall if we hurry.&quot; Le ignore. =w=;

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">&quot;Well, they'll have to be shrunk first.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Indeed..? That would be wise. I've expended a lot of my strongest spells.&quot;

Bryne ap Emyr:<font color="#000000">&quot;I have to agree. Devices are not the best choice. Even if we walk, at least we can sneak and hide if were careful

Adulian:<font color="#990000">&quot;Umm...&quot;

Isdruanir:<font color="#000000">&quot; Tooviri re bvecko vur wintektorir, opsola. &quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;16*(3/4) = 16 * 3 / 4 = 12.00&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;144/12 = 144 / 12 = 12&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Adulian:<font color="#990000">There wouldn't happen to be any trees anywhere on this mountain, would there?

Aelian: <font color="#9900ff">(( relink that damn translator please. |D ))

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">&quot;And me of course. I'll need hands to hold while skipping - you can probably make a handholding device.&quot;

Markalith:<font color="#000000">&quot; Axun, astahii re. &quot; The dwarf looks to Adulian. &quot;Trees?&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">http://draconic.twilightrealm.com/

Adulian:<font color="#990000">&quot;Yes, trees.&quot;

Markalith:<font color="#000000">&quot;There are trees, yes. Why?&quot;

Adulian:<font color="#990000">&quot;If we wait until tomorrow, I could transport all of us to the Citadel through trees.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Travel the tunnels northward. I like that. Sounds good. Let's hop to it.&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus squints a little. &quot;...?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Are there trees next to the citadel..?&quot;

Maelgwyn ap Gwardnerth:<font color="#000000">&quot;Are there trees around here?&quot;

Aelian whispers: Soooooo... if Tathi blows all her spell slots on enough phantasmal steeds for everyone.. what are our chances of encounters?

Adulian:<font color="#990000">&quot;Or, well, any plant really.&quot;

Adulian:<font color="#990000">&quot;As long as there is a plant of the same species at our location.&quot;

Markalith:<font color="#000000">The dwarf strokes his beard, thinking.

Tathi:<font color="#9900FF">&quot;I could summon a flock of horses for us to ride.&quot;

Markalith:<font color="#000000">&quot;... I have not been in the citadel for some time... but there may be some trees in gardens.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9900FF">&quot;They would be very fast, and even able to fly over gaps.&quot;

Markalith:<font color="#000000">&quot;You will likely give their owners a fright... but if that is what must be done, it must be done.&quot; =w=;


 * Thomas Lazarus is slightly bewildered by the sudden weird solutions.

Adulian:<font color="#990000">&quot;It would take a few trips, which would use up all of my spells of that level, but I could transport...twelve people.&quot;

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">&quot;Sounds good&quot;

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">&quot;And definitely quicker and safer than other ways.&quot;

Isdruanir:<font color="#000000">&quot; Opsola, tir astahii rigluin moli? &quot;

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">&quot;And I won't need the gnome's hands which is always a plus.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9900FF">&quot;Yeah at this point the sheer number of people is the problem... Twelve spells, at the least.&quot;

Adulian:<font color="#990000">&quot;Luckily, for the purpose of this spell, Gnoggle and Candlestand would count as one person.&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Which spell is this, so I may research? :3

Adulian:<font color="#990000">Mine?

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Well, yes, if someone can figure out a magic solution, I can acquiece to that. But you--&quot; Gnogglebolt points to the Raptoran. &quot;I need to explain something to you about us landwalkers, Mister Wings.&quot; Gnogglebolt brandishes the map he had pulled out. &quot;See here? This is where we are now.&quot; He jabs a red mark in the mountains. &quot;And this is where we want to go.&quot; He jabs another landmark on the map. &quot;At walking speed, in this terrain, we could cover maybe twelve miles in one day. The distance from here to the destination is almost a hundred and fifty.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">Summon Nydus Worm

Adulian:<font color="#990000">Transport Via Plants.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;It would take us upwards of twelve days on foot.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;We could be attacked multiple times, every day the way there.&quot;

Adulian:<font color="#990000">&quot;If I were just a little stronger, I could request a spell from the Spirits that would allow me to transport all of us through the winds, at very high speed.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;We would not survive. Walking is out of the quesion. Must go faster. We cannot stay out that long.&quot;

Jason Storm:<font color="#000000">&quot;Twelve days seems excessive.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Does this make sense to you, raptoran?&quot; (actually, Lia, I went and measured out the distance and used the Overland Travel tables in PHB ^^; )

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;...It sounds like we're brimming with inspiration and solutions, now.&quot; ^^;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;But we'll need to rest regardless.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;And! That's if we took a straight shot and skipped the basin entirely, which we still have deliveries for.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Shall we head for that shelter, everyone?&quot;

Jason Storm:<font color="#000000">You're talking to a human. 30 land speed. :B *brick'd*

Maelgwyn ap Gwardnerth:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yes, I've done patrols in mountain with those that can't fly. The trick is to NOT make yourself a giant target with a device easily spotted form the air, but to use the terrain, camaglouge, and other tricks to make it hard to be found while you are traveling. Time matters far less than getting to the other side with your entire squad intact.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Going to the basin will take even longer.&quot;

Adulian:<font color="#990000">Wait, oops. Transport via Plants is a sixth level spell. I could only use it three times. &gt;.&gt;

Adulian:<font color="#990000">&quot;Ah, correction. I could only take eight.&quot; &gt;:.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Several days worth of trasnporting

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;Take Tathi with you.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Another thing about us landwalkers, raptoran, particularly this group, we are not good at camouflage or moving unnoticed.&quot;

Maelgwyn ap Gwardnerth:<font color="#000000">&quot;It might even take a moth or so, as going cautious can slow one down, but speed is not always the only thing to consider.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;She can teleport more once she knows the area.&quot;

Adulian:<font color="#990000">&quot;Yes, Tathi can teleport.&quot;

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;We will be noticed and we will be attacked.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Nothing you say is going to change that.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">Anyhow, here you see the difference between reality and videogames. In a game you'd go kill dragons until you levelled up to cast lvl 6 spells x3

Maelgwyn ap Gwardnerth:<font color="#000000">&quot;Then perhaps it is time to learn how. Basic precautions are really not that hard.&quot;

Jason Storm:<font color="#000000">&quot;Wait, wait, wait. What about the food and letters?&quot;

Adulian:<font color="#990000">&quot;So, we are in agreement then?&quot;

Adulian:<font color="#990000">&quot;I shall transport Tathi and seven others, and she can get the rest.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9900FF">&quot;Teleportation is tricky, but, yes, quite powerful. And... I can get us there without failure.&quot;

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">&quot;Wait wait wait&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9900FF">&quot;I just need to do a little scrying first.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Tom scratches his head in contemplation. &quot;Fair question.. let's see.&quot;

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">&quot;Inquisitor Lazarus is a cleric, isn't he&quot;

Maelgwyn ap Gwardnerth:<font color="#000000">&quot;So because you care nothing but for speed and being loud and in the open, you will ignore advice that could get you through a dangerous situation safely, as it would require you to think in new ways?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;That's what I was saying Jason, I was trying to impress upon the raptoran how long it would take without going to the Basin. Hence why we need something faster especially if we are going to the basin.&quot;

Markalith:<font color="#000000">&quot;You will need a key to do so, elf. Have you one?&quot;

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">&quot;He could recall us to the place, once he gets a look of it, couldn't you, Tom?&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9900FF">&quot;In a manner of ways, I do.&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus glances over. &quot;Uh.. I don't really care for that nomenclature. It's a little misleading. But, yes.&quot;

Isdruanir:<font color="#000000">&quot;Food and letters?&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9900FF">She blinks. &quot;Wait, did you mean I'll need that key to scry on the place?&quot;

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">Vonain looks at the young silver. &quot;We took on deliveries for some townships in the Basin.&quot;

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">&quot;And unlike teleportation, recalling does not mess up since it draws on divine power.&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus shrugs. &quot;...Eventually... but I need to get to know it really well. I couldn't just begin recalling there from one afternoon's trip.&quot;

Adulian:<font color="#990000">&quot;&quot;Tathi, I can simply take you with me on the first trip. Then you can teleport as you please without worry.&quot;

Markalith:<font color="#000000">&quot;The citadel is extensively warded. I do not see a mortal spellcaster being able to scry upon it with ease.&quot;

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">&quot;How long would it take?&quot;

Isdruanir:<font color="#000000">&quot;Father and I could take them.&quot; :.

Tathi:<font color="#9900FF">She glances at Adulian.. &quot;Using that tree power?&quot;

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">&quot;Even if it was a day or two, it'd still work out&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I'm not sure. A couple days?&quot; He glances to the dragons.

Adulian:<font color="#990000">&quot;Plants, yes.&quot;

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">&quot;I also don't put much stock in that plant-transportation...if the Citadel is really as warded as it sounds, I imagine they have blocks for that thing. Any trick we could use, so could a hostile dragon with the right resources.&quot;

Isdruanir:<font color="#000000">&quot;While you go to the citadel, we could take the food and letters to the basin for you.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9900FF">&quot;Well, since I can't scry, that seems to be the way to go.&quot;

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">&quot;The citdal could be blanket-warded against all forms of instantaneous magical transportaion. That's very powerful and deep magic, but a fortress run by dragons?&quot;

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">&quot;I wouldn't put it past them. We can try the plant-transport, thought.&quot;

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">&quot;Just don't be surprised if you find yourself blocked.&quot;

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">&quot;Then someone needs to announce we're coming.&quot;

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">&quot;Sending, anyone?&quot;

Adulian:<font color="#990000">&quot;If I am blocked, I can simply take us to a plant just outside the citadel.&quot;


 * Markalith makes a gruff sound, leading the way deeper into the caverns. &quot;This way. We can discuss while we travel.&quot;

Adulian:<font color="#990000">&quot;I need not be terrible specific.&quot;

Adulian:<font color="#990000">&quot;As long as I have a general location, I can use the spell.&quot;

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">&quot;Hmm. Perhaps, then.&quot;

Jason Storm:<font color="#000000">&quot; First fighting dragons from a Mazian steam-device, and now teleporting into their midst through plants. No one is going to believe this. &quot;

Adulian:<font color="#990000">&quot;Even mere distance and direction is sufficient.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Tom tries not to get trapped in an infinite speculative loop of high-powered magical solutions, and follows the drawfgon.

Adulian:<font color="#990000">&quot;The spell will simply take us to the nearest available plant to the destination.&quot;

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

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">Dragon drawfag

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">Travel travel travel.

Markalith:<font color="#000000">... The DM likes that. Dwarfgon, I imagine it was meant to be. :B

Adulian:<font color="#990000">&quot;As I said before, however.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Alright, let's march..&quot; Gnogglebolt moves over to the White Dragon. &quot;yth re shafaer wer move jaka, itrewic svern. si geou adjust wer chains zahae wux zyak wux shilta zhin desta, shar si mi jaseveir dout altiuiri pinned. jinthil, behave. wux tir ti tuor ve ekess qe wharacir, tir wux?&quot;

Adulian:<font color="#990000">&quot;We would have to wait until tomorrow, so that I may request the spell from the Spirits.&quot;

Adulian:<font color="#990000">&quot;I believe we were planning to rest anyway, no?&quot; &gt;.&gt;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;I hope so.&quot;

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">&quot;I guess?&quot;

Smaller White Dragon 3:<font color="#000000">The dragon contemplates Gnogglebolt a bit, before spitting an ice-cube at his head. Tink!

Adulian:<font color="#990000">&quot;Hmm, I will be unable to request another spell of that level, as well. Mmm, so be it. Sacrifices must be made.&quot;


 * Maelgwyn ap Gwardnerth chuckles

Maelgwyn ap Gwardnerth:<font color="#000000">&quot;Just what you need to cool off, eh gnome?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt blinks in surprise, then rolls his eyes and scoffs. &quot;si filiik batobot ui|ulph wer trelkilti youwe ekess cooperation si mi gethrisjir ekess itrewic de wux.&quot; He thn moves and adjusts the chains around the white drgaon's legs so its ability to walk isn't so restricted, and it can walk on its own.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">The chains are still -there-, along with the Adaptive Shackles, and its wings are pinned together.

Adulian:<font color="#990000">&quot;Don't antagonize the Mazian, Liebe.&quot; x3

Adulian:<font color="#990000">&quot;He might explode you.&quot; :P

VAE:<font color="#000000">I love how cooperation doesn't seem to exist in Draconic

Maelgwyn ap Gwardnerth:<font color="#000000">&quot;He can try.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">Tells a lot, doesn't it

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Like I said. You sometimes need to fiddle with the words to get something someone's made up a word for. XD

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Otherwise, proofreading and/or coming up with your own words is required.

VAE:<font color="#000000">working together? NOPE

Adulian:<font color="#990000">&quot;But then where will that leave me if, by some miracle, he manages to succeed?&quot;

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">&quot;Near a crater.&quot;

Glitch:<font color="#000000">if the guy's still maintaining it, I could submit a bunch of words with some translations...

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Letoclo is close enough, that's &quot;help.&quot; You might recognize it from Sart's speech. :B

Liatai:<font color="#000000">I don't know if it's still being maintained... lemme poke at it. :.

GM:<font color="#000000">In the meantime, would folks care for mid-session noms?

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Tom and Ed for condolences :)

Adulian:<font color="#990000">As did I. &gt;.&gt;

Tathi:<font color="#9900FF">AND DON'T YOU FORGET TATHI'S FIRST LINE, WANKERS. I HAD YOU TABLE FLIPPING.

Tathi: <font color="#9900ff">(( you still suck ))

VAE:<font color="#000000">Hm. Fair enough, pet burial. I have seen worse things nommed.

Adulian:<font color="#990000">Nothing for me? &gt;:

VAE:<font color="#000000">To be honest, asides from Tathi, there wasn't anyone pulling anything quite that remarkable

VAE:<font color="#000000">I want to nom the huge dragon for &quot;and I take no offense at the comparison - dwarves are proud and honorable folk&quot;

Glitch:<font color="#000000">:/ Yeah, you know the nom's system's -really- gone to shit when people think that real meangingful roleplay is actively seen as a poor thing to nominate, in favor of gags and funnies...oh well.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Mron would approve.

VAE:<font color="#000000">*Miron would approve

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">I got nothing either, so stop whiningg.

 * VAE sigh

Sszeyl: <font color="#0">(( We nom what we think deserves a nom. ))

VAE:<font color="#000000">And glitch gets it ass-backwards again

Glitch:<font color="#000000">nor do I recall Sszeyl doing anything particularly notable.

Sszeyl: <font color="#0">(( Not what Glitch thinks deserves a noom. ))

Markalith:<font color="#000000">I like dwarves. &gt;|

VAE:<font color="#000000">Shits and giggles are an easy way to get noms if you can pull off something genuinely funny

VAE:<font color="#000000">RP is nommed too, but it needs to be something that leaves an impression.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">When the nominations system was -first- introduced something like three years ago, it was -supposed- to be that you only nominate for deep, well-done roleplaying. I remember that. Then the system devolved into what we have today.

VAE:<font color="#000000">We don't nom baseline good RP because that's the standard here, just like you don't get a medal for merely doing your duty.

Maelgwyn ap Gwardnerth: <font color="#0">(( glitch. you did like two lines about his death. you didn't involve anyone else, nor was anyone else was in on it, just went off by himself and did two lines. it wasn't that deep or meaningful in my eyes, and left no real impact ))

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Everyone else has just forgotten.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Yeah, plus, it was mostly him mumbling in gnomish which nobody else understands.

Sszeyl: <font color="#0">(( Glitch, you are a hipster. ))


 * Glitch throws up hands. -3-

Sszeyl: <font color="#0">(( Accept this. ))

VAE:<font color="#000000">I mean, not everyone writes out their character's thougths as much as I do, but it'd have helped.

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">Moving on.

Smaller White Dragon 3:<font color="#000000">The white dragon just lays there and doesn't get up. &gt;:|

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">The biggest &quot;problem&quot; with the nom system isn't with the nom system, it's that we get hung up on our entitlements. They're just back-pats and camrade acknowledgements. We shouldn't be so expectant. It's fine.

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">Begging for noms is fairly silly.

Maelgwyn ap Gwardnerth: <font color="#0">(( yes it sucks that someone may have overlooked what you did. But liatai Often notices even if no one else does. I've noticed her giving out noms a number of times when the person wasn't nommed at all ))

 * Adulian points a finger at the Dragon, and a bolt of lightning shoots out from the tip at the Dragon! Take &#171; &#160;4d6 = 12&#160;  &#187; damage! No save, as far as I can tell.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Isn't that kinda coming with the cross after the funeral?

Bryne ap Emyr: <font color="#0">(( or someone can kill it that works too ))

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Just please knock it out as painlessly as possible. This is becoming cruel for both parties.&quot; =w=;

Adulian:<font color="#990000">Ah, wait, here it is.

Smaller White Dragon 3:<font color="#000000">&quot;(You plan to already! LIARS! I CAN TELL! YOU KILLED EVERYONE ELSE! I'll kill you first --)&quot;

Adulian:<font color="#990000">DC 21 reflex save.

Adulian:<font color="#990000">If you can even make reflex saves. &gt;.&gt;

Smaller White Dragon 3:<font color="#000000">The dragonling shrieks as it's wracked by lightning. &#171; &#160;1d20+6-2 = 17 + 6 - 2 = 21&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

VAE:<font color="#000000">hah, restrained? Doubt so

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt pinches the bridge of his nose. &quot;Sszeyl, please knock it unconcious. Right away.&quot;

Adulian:<font color="#990000">Take 6 damage, then.

VAE:<font color="#000000">It's hogtied. How can it make a reflex save?

Adulian:<font color="#990000">Iunno.

VAE:<font color="#000000">As in, what can it do?

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt untied its legs.

Bryne ap Emyr:<font color="#000000">Hold monster. will save DC 19 on it

Adulian:<font color="#990000">No he didn't.

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

Adulian:<font color="#990000">He loosened them.

Smaller White Dragon 3:<font color="#000000">&quot;(I KNEW IT! I'LL KILL YOU FIRST!)&quot; &#171; &#160;1d20+6 = 10 + 6 = 16&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Adulian:<font color="#990000">And the dragon is being carried. &gt;.&gt;

Smaller White Dragon 3:<font color="#000000">... and then it freezes.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Meany, you didn't say you were afk this time...

Bryne ap Emyr: <font color="#000000">&quot;Knock it out or tie it up or what have you while it can't move.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9900FF">&quot;Thomas.. are you watching this?&quot; Tathi says exasperatedly..

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">I'm here.


 * Markalith shields the eyes of the young silver beside him, walking on.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Dangit meany! This time when you get back, please immediately make unarmed strikes before you go away again. &gt;__

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

Glitch:<font color="#000000">oh there you are.

VAE:<font color="#000000">it' pointless now

VAE:<font color="#000000">you butt

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">Just not going to respond until people are doing doing fifty things at once.

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">You butt.

VAE:<font color="#000000">it's hold person'd

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">are not*

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">That's an extremely brief solution.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Meany, people -wouldn't- have been doing dfifty things at once if you had acted first and on time. :/

VAE:<font color="#000000">He said he brb's

Bryne ap Emyr:<font color="#000000">that lasts rounds and it gets a save every round. take care of it while you can.

Smaller White Dragon 3:<font color="#000000">Let's fast-forward, shall we?

Sszeyl: <font color="#0">(( Literally two seconds after you asked for unconsciousness, Male cast a spell. ))

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Sszeyl, please, knock it out while it can't move. From what I remember, that magic won't last long.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">requiring him to do stuff was a bad thing first of all.

Sszeyl: <font color="#0">(( I cannot knock it out in two fucking seconds. ))

Glitch:<font color="#000000">yes you can. :B Just say &quot;You make unarmed strikes until it is unconcious&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">Says the monk that can swing tables

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I'll do it myself, sheesh.&quot; Thomas walks over and gives the frozen creature a nasty thwack to the back of its head with the pommel of its sword. Power attack nonlethal holy whatever until it works!

Adulian:<font color="#990000">Yeah, let's fast forward. &gt;.&gt;

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

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Thank you, Hatari.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Nice to see someone's still on top of things.

Thomas Lazarus: <font color="#ff0000">(( Get back in character. ))

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">At any rate

VAE:<font color="#000000">Cutting through the gordian knot again x3

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Once the dragon is well unconcious, Gnogglebolt readjusts the chains and Adaptive Shackles yet again, retightening the ones around the legs so the most he can do is shuffle


 * Isdruanir looks back at it with pity.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">-and- he also loops some chains around the dragon's jaws, effectively muzzling it.

VAE:<font color="#000000">iDragon Shuffle


 * Thomas Lazarus sheathes his sword with a heavy sigh.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;There. Now it cannot be anything more than a wiggling nuisiance when it wakes up.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot; He would fit right in if he were a member.&quot; =w=;

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">&quot;That'd be amusing.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Now, let's move on.&quot;

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

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;Agreed, Tom.&quot;


 * Edaric slides a finger around the inside of his collar a bit as the travel through tight stone tunnels continues.

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot; Don't suppose we can make noise now, or should we still try to be quiet? &quot;

Markalith:<font color="#000000">&quot;Quiet is better.&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#9900FF">Aelian puts an arm around Edaric's shoulders. &quot; Easy. We won't be down here forever.&quot;


 * Edaric nods. &quot; I know. It's just stifling. &quot; Fidget fidget walk walk.

Jason Storm:<font color="#000000">&quot;How are you winged folk managing?&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus offers a half-smile. &quot;..Sorry, Ed. But atleast we don't have to worry about being spotted by fliers in here.&quot;

Maelgwyn ap Gwardnerth:<font color="#000000">&quot;I'm fine. It could be worse, we could be in a castle under siege, where popping your head up is likely to get you an arrow ornament attached to it.&quot;

Bryne ap Emyr: <font color="#000000">&quot;Just cause one flies, does not mean one automatically prefers wide open spaces&quot;

Jason Storm:<font color="#000000">&quot;I meant more... maneuvering your wings.&quot; ^^;

Jason Storm:<font color="#000000">&quot;It can be difficult enough with a backpack, much less wings.&quot;

Adulian:<font color="#990000">&quot;Heh, Mael here wouldn't let such a minor thing bother him.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">The old man keeps skipping.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Preparing to copy-paste party members, get ready to reimpersonate!

Aelian:<font color="#9900FF">SCRAMBLE

Modifying the fog-of-war manually without a server running affects only the global exposed area (i.e. the entire map), even if one or more tokens are selected. If you want your changes to apply to individual tokens, start a MapTool server with Individual Fog enabled (you can leave the Alias field empty to make an anonymous server, if you wish). This warning will not appear again for this campaign.

Maelgwyn ap Gwardnerth has received initiative.VAE:<font color="#000000">what map

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


 * VAE fund

Maelgwyn ap Gwardnerth:<font color="#000000">&quot;Try basic military training. To keep everyone on an even footing, those with wings are bound to prevent you from relying on them.&quot;

Markalith:<font color="#000000">The passageway slopes up after a while, and the dwarf lowers his profile, holding out a hand. &quot; We will need to go into the open for a moment. &quot;

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">&quot;Bound? I'd have thought most armours would be enough to do the job.&quot;


 * Markalith peeks out. &quot; ... This is far enough away from the road you were on. Clear. Come. &quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Tom follows along in relative quiet.

Maelgwyn ap Gwardnerth:<font color="#000000">&quot;Think they'd waste a full suit of armor on recruits not even in the field? It's cheaper to bind, and use weights to build up strength at first.&quot;

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">&quot;Studded leathers aren't expensive - standard issue for even the Mace here.&quot;

Maelgwyn ap Gwardnerth:<font color="#000000">&quot;Too light of armor. Military isn't policemen, If your training for the front lines, breastplates at the least.&quot;

Malcolm Walker:<font color="#000000">&quot; Studded leather is what most recruits wear. &quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus creeps along, looking at the skies warily. He's a bit less trusting of the sky, now that super-predators have been routinely dropping out of it to kill and kidnap. &quot;...&quot;

Malcolm Walker:<font color="#000000">&quot; ... Metal armor is expensive for farmers' sons and daughters. &quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">The old man hasn't spoken in a while.

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">Just skipping and hauling.

Markalith:<font color="#000000">The dwarfgon leads the way to another cave set into the mountainside. There is a wooden sign posted next to the entrance that reads SAFE REST in Common, Halfling, Draconic, Elven, Feline, and Dwarven. Just inside the entrance, you can see a rock shelf on the wall. An inkwell is set into the shelf, with a pen attached to it with thin steel chain. An everburning candle and an open guestbook sit on the shelf, and a map of the area is etched into the wall.

Maelgwyn ap Gwardnerth:<font color="#000000">&quot;Wouldn't do much good against giants though. And most of our military that's not at see with the navy as marines, are in giant infested mountains. &quot;

Aelian:<font color="#9900FF">Aelian peers curiously at the entrance.

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">Sea.

Adulian:<font color="#990000">&quot;This is interesting.&quot; :.

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">&quot;Well. . .the best armour still is one you can actually get, isn't it.&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#9900FF">And then glances back at Ed. &quot; Doing better now?&quot;

Markalith:<font color="#000000">&quot;A rest point for travelers and caravans.&quot;

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

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..That could be a spot they keep an eye on.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Let's sweep it clear first.&quot;


 * Markalith nods.

Teeny Rin:<font color="#FF0000">It bears an uncanny resemblance to Lavos if you turn your head left.

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

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">We're not in DM move. Move as you wish. :3


 * Adulian follows behind Tom.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Tom heads on in with his finger-lantern and sword at his side.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..Well. I guess if there were any dragons asleep in here, they'd have to be invisible. Still.. I wouldn't want any white kobolds ratting us out to our enemies, or something.&quot;

Isdruanir:<font color="#000000">It seems large, and empty. A cold fire pit sits in the center of this room... whiiiiiiich the DM forgot one moment. =3=;

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">&quot;It'd be kind of a shame, no?&quot;

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">&quot;A sign telling of safe rest in six languages, and all of them wrong.&quot;


 * Maelgwyn ap Gwardnerth looks around the area

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">&quot;That's a lot more wrong than if it was just written in one.&quot;

Adulian:<font color="#990000">&quot;Hmm, not bad.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">Sszeyl stays near the entrance.

Adulian:<font color="#990000">&quot;We've certainly slept in worse, right Liebe?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;It could be that we're too far into their borders for them to bother with looking. I doubt a lot of caravans would have passed the dragon ambushes to a spot like this.&quot; He lowers his finger-light and sheathes his sword.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Ack, sacred canine duty. ^^;

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">Imma go make puddin'.


 * Maelgwyn ap Gwardnerth just keeps looking around


 * Thomas Lazarus smiles to Ed. &quot;This isn't so bad, right? This cave is huge.&quot; He heads over to the fireplace to set down his pack and settle in.

Maelgwyn ap Gwardnerth:<font color="#000000">&quot;Plenty of room to spread out. that's for sure.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Nah, it's much better! And even better...&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt sets up his cargo pack and personal effects in a corner of the cave.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Thomas focuses for a bit after making his place near the fire. &quot;.....&quot; &gt;;9 He holds his fingers out by the center and seems to be concentrating on something. More carefully than straining.


 * Edaric takes out his lute at last. &quot;We don't have to be quiet!&quot; |D


 * Edaric hesitates. &quot; .... Do we? &quot; &gt;.&gt;;;;

Aelian:<font color="#9900FF">&quot;Hey.. what's that northern chamber?&quot;


 * VAE back with some ramen

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Tom snaps his fingers after a long pause, trying to measure just right. A small explosion of fire flashes up and catches him. He's left with a smoldering arm and sooty face. &quot;...&quot; |D;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Fire's up.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9900FF">&quot;Thomas! Are you allright!?&quot; Tathi asks with eyes wide.

Edaric:<font color="#000000">x3 Ed is quick on the draw, offering a handkerchief. &quot;You okay?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;... ...thought that was -my- job...&quot;

Thomas Lazarus: <font color="#ff0000">(( Thomas only fire spell is one he never cast before, with a melee AoE. |D ))

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Yeah maybe I should leave it to you next time.&quot; |D; He pats off his singed coat.

Adulian:<font color="#990000">&quot;I certainly hope we don't have to be quiet! After the day we've had, we could certainly use some enjoyment!&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">Strummm~ A few motes of green light dance over Thomas' clothes to help with the cleanup.


 * Thomas Lazarus wipes off his face. &quot;Thanks.&quot; =w=;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..So.&quot; He glances off to the five newest faces.

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">&quot;So?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;What do you think? Looks like we're dragonslayers by deed already.&quot;

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">&quot;Well, it seems rather over-hyped, doesn't it?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..Kind of.&quot; He reflects while cradling his chin.

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">Back.

Malcolm Walker:<font color="#000000">&quot;... Guess so.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">With puddin'.

Tathi:<font color="#9900FF">&quot;It seems we've earned it.&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#9900FF">Aelian heads a little north, and glances about. What's all this then?

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;Going to add that surname, then?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;Dragonslayer?&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus wags a finger at Tathi. &quot; You wanted me to remind you about now to focus on long-range firey spells tomorrow.&quot;

Adulian:<font color="#990000">&quot;I'll admit, the Dragons we've faced haven't really been what I expected.&quot;


 * Edaric settles on the ground, tuning up.

Tathi:<font color="#9900FF">Tathi nods a little to Thomas. &quot;Lots and lots of fireballs tonight.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;They were Whites.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;You want a legitimate fight, find a Green.&quot;

Maelgwyn ap Gwardnerth:<font color="#000000">&quot;Wouldn't a red put up a good fight?&quot;

Glitch:<font color="#000000">(oh my gosh a friend of my sisters brought over an adorable puppy I must go say hi and play with it while it's still here |D )

Malcolm Walker:<font color="#000000">&quot;... What're we gonna do with the dragon while we sleep?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;Depends on the Red.&quot;

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


 * Thomas Lazarus reflects on the Green head mounted in his childhood home. :.

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;Might be more magic oriented.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;But yes, Reds and Blues put up the best fights among colored.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;A few of us do not sleep for long. And one of us does not sleep at all, sir.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;We shall manage a shift for safety.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+21 = 19 + 21 = 40&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; Tuneup~

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">&quot;I'm fine for whenever - I can catch up on napping on someone's shoulder.&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#9900FF">Gonna guess from the lack of response nuffin is here.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Nuffin is there.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Just another room.

Aelian: <font color="#9900ff">(( I CAST MAGIC MISSILE ON THE NUFFIN ))

Maelgwyn ap Gwardnerth:<font color="#000000">&quot;Aye, Bryne and I only need two hours sleep each, for example.&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus nods.


 * Edaric plays around for a bit... then seems to hit on something. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0dLJ2uwkSXI

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">&quot;Besides, if someone tries to sneak in I can sniff them out.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I'll cast another 'breakfast feast' in the morning. ..It's starting to feel a little silly and decadent, preparing that table to just pop up anywhere. But I'm certain we'll be worse off without it.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;I can set up an alarm, too,&quot; Ed says, before he gets too deep into the music.

Aelian:<font color="#9900FF">Aelian blinks, and looks over, smirking at his old friend. &quot;Ed, what did you do, draw inspiration from dragon slaying or something? Your style has changed..&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus nods approvingly. &quot;Guess we really can relax here.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;What do Silver dragons eat?&quot; At the dragon dwarf and youngling.

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">&quot;Say, I can take the watch with the two winged folks. . .and I think Sszeyl don't need much sleep either.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;I do not sleep at all.&quot;


 * Edaric is zoned out into the music. |3

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;Or eat. Or drink, or breathe if I am underwater.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;The Ocean sustains me.&quot;

Markalith:<font color="#000000">&quot;That is not comforting given your parasite.&quot; &gt;:|

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

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">&quot;Well, that works out well, doesn't it?&quot;

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">&quot;Sszeyl and me shall be first shift, and the two of you second.&quot;

Adulian:<font color="#990000">Is it danceable music?

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Depends on your definition. I provided a link. x3

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">Not really danceable, but then I dunno much about dancing at all

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;What do Silvers eat?&quot;

Adulian:<font color="#990000">Yep, danceable. &#171; &#160;1d20+22 = 7 + 22 = 29&#160; <font color="#990000">&#187; Dance!

Isdruanir:<font color="#000000">&quot;Whatever you eat is fine.&quot; {:3

Aelian: <font color="#9900ff">(( I would say a step and swing dance. ))

Aelian: <font color="#9900ff">(( then again, that typically goes with all guitar music. |P ))

Adulian:<font color="#990000">As Edaric plays his lute, he gets a Half-Orc dancer to join in!

Aelian: <font color="#9900ff">(( as the guitar is primarily sharp plucks followed by echoing refrains. step and swing. ))

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;Do you prefer fresh, or cooked, then?&quot;

Adulian:<font color="#990000">It's a very smooth dance, dance and swing as is said. Smooth and flowing.

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;Do you like any form of cheese especially?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;How are you on fried foods?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;Any allergies?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;Are you vitamin defficient in any area?&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">Fried cheese :0

Ghostwish:<font color="#9900FF">BAYCUN

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot; Swan Song... do not bother the dragons... &quot; ^^;

Markalith:<font color="#000000">The dwarfgon looks somewhat boggled, once again.

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;I'm the one with the magic paint that can call forth any food imaginable.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;So I have to ask the questions.&quot;

Adulian:<font color="#990000">Hey, Mael!

Adulian:<font color="#990000">Your wife is pulling you into the dance. :B

Edaric:<font color="#000000">Might be hard for a non-dancer to keep up, the tempo seems to be rather... free-flowing. :B

Adulian:<font color="#990000">She's leading him. :P

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">By the ass.

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">Because this is CONGA.


 * Maelgwyn ap Gwardnerth stands stil &quot;I'm sorry, but I've said this before, I don't really dance to things like this.&quot;

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

Tathi:<font color="#9900FF">&quot;Oh don't be a Mir- er, stick in the mud.&quot;

Adulian:<font color="#990000">&quot;Aww, come on Liebe. For me?&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9900FF">Tathi smiles sheepishly and shakes her head. &quot;Almost said you know who..&quot;

Adulian:<font color="#990000">On a side note, this is a really good song I just replayed it.

Maelgwyn ap Gwardnerth:<font color="#000000">&quot;No, I think I'm going to go over my armor for dents.&quot;

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

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

Maelgwyn ap Gwardnerth:<font color="#000000">&quot;Can't be too prepared for when we next encounter something, have to keep it in good shape.&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Thomas can already cast wind walk. He gets it earlier than a druid. o3o


 * Dr. Hatari chooses to ignore. =3=

VAE:<font color="#000000">that is odd

Maelgwyn ap Gwardnerth:<font color="#000000">what, no wind walking accross akellon?

Tathi: <font color="#9900ff">(( *hands Hatari a Ghostwish medal* |3 ))

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

Markalith:<font color="#000000">&quot;Whatever you can eat is fine. Even some things you cannot.&quot;


 * Adulian huffs and pouts.

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">&quot;Eh, if someone gives you choice Mr. Dragon, you should choose.&quot;


 * Edaric only just seems to notice that someone is dancing, now that he seems to have reached the end of that musical thought. &quot;...&quot; {:3


 * Maelgwyn ap Gwardnerth goes sits down, and with brynn's help takes off his armor and starts going over it for dents that might need to be hammered out, or scuffs to polish


 * Thomas Lazarus considers for a while.

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+21 = 5 + 21 = 26&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">Something a bit more regular. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btHo5JbvY6I

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;I am thinking an entire angus cow, deep fried with the utter injected with standard liquid cheddar.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Hmmm.. I can use this time to form a prayer..&quot; Finger on chin.

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;Something tells me you wouldn't like that per se.&quot;

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">&quot;I mean, I imagine the mountains don't have much of a food choice, normally&quot;

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

Bryne ap Emyr:<font color="#000000">after helping Mael with his armor, Bryne approaches thomas &quot;One question sir. why did you not mentione anythign abuot the dragons attacking using the link?&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9900FF">Udder. Aren't you redneck enough to know that?

Markalith:<font color="#000000">That expression says &quot;ew,&quot; and &quot;why would you --&quot; so probably not.

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">&quot;Seize the opportunity while it's there!&quot;

Adulian: <font color="#990000">&quot;Sometimes it's cute, but sometimes it's really frustrating.&quot;

<font color="#990000"> =3=

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Oh..?&quot; He snaps out of the thought.

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">I'm a suburb boy.

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">&quot;What's wrong with udders?&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus figures it out and shrinks a little. =_=; &quot;Oh.&quot;

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">&quot;One butcher in town used to toss cut-offs to us when he was cleaning them. Tasty!&quot;


 * Adulian sighs, before returning to dancing!

Adulian:<font color="#990000">&#171; &#160;1d20+22 = 8 + 22 = 30&#160; <font color="#990000">&#187; Dance!

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

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I remember now. ..Yes.. I apologize for that. When the need came, I had realized I dismissed it. I didn't even think about it.. ... ..I'm sorry. I should have kept closer in mind how useful it could be in an emergency. I goofed.&quot; =_=;;

VAE:<font color="#000000">Also, Sszeyl will get a nom for it. Deep-fried angus cow with cheese-filled udder is just the kind of weird that Sszeyl would consider a good idea

Bryne ap Emyr: <font color="#000000">&quot;Ah. and why did you dismiss it, sir?&quot;

Markalith:<font color="#000000">The dragon returns to his normal shape and curls up in the entrance, effectively blocking it.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Out of all the places you can fill on a deep-fried cow, udder is like the least sensible

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;How about meat apples, then?&quot;

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">&quot;Meat. . .apples?|

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;...&quot; =w=# &quot; Let's just say it was becoming a distracting that was slipping easily through my armor and reaching my nerves.&quot;

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">&quot;Apples are not meat&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;They look like apples.&quot;

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

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;But they're meat on the inside.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">We used them to troll vegetarians.

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">And Hindus.

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

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">Is a carnivorous plant the opposite of a vegetarian?

VAE:<font color="#000000">(say, a shambling mound)

Markalith:<font color="#000000">.... A frigid sigh. &quot; I knew it. The abombination has warped the host's mind. &quot; =w=;

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">definite nom

VAE:<font color="#000000">Also, sometimes I feel like psycho joe would be a good Sszeyl theme

Bryne ap Emyr: <font color="#000000">&quot;Ah, I'm sorry, I didn't know that the presence of a mental link would distract you so. Or was it with Miss Eyllisaearsithek trying to get you to say 'I want to love and hold our bard'? It did seem a highly strange thing to make you say, and I could see how her insistence on saying such a random thing could be distracting.&quot;

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">&quot;That said, why meat apples and not meat pears, say? Is it because of apples and Akellon?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;Wjat

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;What's a pear?&quot;

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">&quot;it's a long green apple&quot;

Malcolm Walker:<font color="#000000">&quot;A green fruit. Sweet and a little tart. Not an apple.&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus clears his throat softly. &quot;..Let's not dwell much on that.&quot; ^^; That sure seems to have hit the nail on the head.

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">&quot;Apples are round, pears are kinda long.&quot;

Bryne ap Emyr: <font color="#000000">&quot;Does she regularily seek to annoy you with such pointless sayings?&quot;

Malcolm Walker:<font color="#000000">&quot;... They're good.&quot;

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">&quot;But the folks who tend to buy apples usually buy pears as well.&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus scoffs. &quot;Oh, you'll see.&quot;

Malcolm Walker:<font color="#000000">&quot; I don't. &quot; &gt;.&gt;;

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hmm, maybe not, then.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">afk

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">&quot;They do look and smell fairly alike though.&quot;

Bryne ap Emyr: <font color="#000000">&quot;Then If I were to connect us in the future, seeing as I am limited in the number of people that can be connected, who would you recomend to replace her if she is into enough such pranks that we will see without a doubt.?&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9900FF">&quot;Yes Bryne.&quot; Comes Tathi's voice, even though she doesn't look up. &quot;Thomas here is always extremely uptight, and frequently stressed out by the rigors of adventuring. He's not as well suited to the carnage as his sister is. So, I often poke fun at him to try and get him to loosen up.&quot;

Malcolm Walker:<font color="#000000">&quot;... They're different.&quot; =3=

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">&quot;Well, yes. Pears are long, apples are round.&quot;

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">&quot;They're like a long apple.&quot;

Malcolm Walker:<font color="#000000">&quot;No, they're not.&quot; =3=;


 * Thomas Lazarus sighs through his nose. &quot;..Well, I don't know if I would say that&quot; He looks at Tathi.

Tathi:<font color="#9900FF">Tathi does glance up that time. &quot;Half the time? I thought you were going to have a breakdown and just march right into a group of fiends, swinging.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I've been a fighting man and close to a world of suffering since before I was a Guardian. But having so many people to protect.. who want next to nothing to do with being protected or getting along..&quot;

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">&quot;Well, the bark feels similar, the trees are about the same size, there's just as many wasps digging at rotten apples and rotten pears, they have similar colour, smell, look, even the seeds look similar.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;That weighs on a body.&quot; =w=;

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

Tathi:<font color="#9900FF">She nods slightly. &quot;Yes.. I noticed a heightened amount of stress whenever innocents were involved.&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus sighs. &quot;..Anyways.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I think I can put together a Sending. Perhaps if I send it off to Nathan, he can scry back here and we can update them on everything.&quot;

Malcolm Walker:<font color="#000000">&quot;They don't taste anything alike.&quot; The soldier folds his arms. &gt;| &quot;They've got a different texture, and pears are sweeter.&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus pauses. &quot;...... Or should I?&quot; He looks up at the roof. &quot; Would it only worry them?&quot;

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">&quot;Nathan? I think I've heard the name before...refresh my memory?&quot;

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">*heard you mention

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Uhmmm.&quot; =3=c; &quot;A wisened sage we know. The architect of the base of Sszeyl's seal.&quot;

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hmm. Fair enough, never ate any. So they're long apples that don't taste like apples at all.&quot;

Malcolm Walker:<font color="#000000">&quot; Better than apples. &quot; =3=;

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">&quot;Ah. Hmm.&quot;

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">&quot;Would this Nathan be related to the gold dragon 'Terri' I've heard mentioned?&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus gives Tathi a flat look.

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hmm, but if they taste better, why bother with apples then?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Apparently. You're going to get her in serious trouble one day firing that mouth off so much.&quot;

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">Vonain smiles. &quot;I'm sorry. Simple guesswork.&quot;

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">&quot;You are going to a dragon to improve the seal, and the whole point is because of a dragon spirit...&quot;

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">'So it stands to reason the architect is also a dragon.&quot;

Bryne ap Emyr: <font color="#000000">&quot;Interesting...I'm sure my lord could relate to such a daunting burden. but If we should require a mental link between us again, which two of you guardians should recieve it, so as to best coordinate our actions?&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9900FF">Thomas gets a flat look right back. &quot;We're involved with dragons left and right and you really think they wouldn't figure it out? Wake up Thomas. Dragons.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;We still don't have to go around singing from the rooftops what their cover identities are.&quot;

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">&quot;That said, miss Tathi, his concerns are valid.&quot;

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">&quot;I have noted you do tend to flippantly speak such information without any thought.&quot;

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">&quot;Even dragons have enemies.&quot;

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">&quot;Not just other dragons.&quot;

Malcolm Walker:<font color="#000000">&quot;Some people like apples better...?&quot; Shrug. &quot;And... maybe it's patriotic too.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9900FF">&quot;Thank you captain obvious of the oblivious schooner. Would you like to forecast the color of the sky while you're at it?&quot; She says sarcastically.

Bryne ap Emyr: <font color="#000000">&quot;Blue on clear days.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Thomas sighs and considers the question posed to him. &quot;...&quot;

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">&quot;Simple creative omission would suffice. You could refer to such people as 'those friends', without naming names, or identities, or even location if you can help it.&quot;

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">&quot;But oh my, miss Tathi.&quot;

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">&quot;So there you are, Sszeyl. Pears are long apples that taste better and aren't patriotic!&quot; *smile*

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">&quot;If it's so obvious, how come you seem unaware of it yourself?&quot; Vonain smirks right back.

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

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">He shrugs and gestures to Gnogglebolt. Then cautiously to himself. &quot;?&quot;

Bryne ap Emyr: <font color="#000000">&quot;Anyone...besides the mazian. While he may be a trusted part of your group, I fear adding him to a mental link with my lord and I might be...counter productive.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus huffs. &quot;Oh for crying out loud.&quot;

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">Vonain then looks over to the Raptoran. &quot;Hmm.&quot;

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">&quot;That doesn't sound like the words of good teamwork to me.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9900FF">Vonain gets a cross look. &quot;Because if your near-sighted head stays with us for any measure of time at all, you're going to end up tangled up with dragons, drow, devils, and glory only knows what else. If you think your little affliction was nightmarish, follow us for the next year or so. Then you'll know a new form of hell. So, consider my little slip fair warning.&quot; She never smirked at you, by the by.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;If you three are never even going to try to overcome your national prejudices, then I won't force you. But I can certainly think it's silly. You asked me for my pick of dutiful Guardians and you got it. Edaric, then.&quot;


 * Bryne ap Emyr nods


 * Edaric has switched to something calmer and more peaceful. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GqsGBZ3yj-Y

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+21 = 7 + 21 = 28&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">Vonain then glances back to Tathi. &quot;What a mercurial mood you seem to have. I have not the faintest idea what you seem to be implying. Tell me, has your group seen anything worse than the Yoriver crisis before? I would bet not. Miss Tathi, I've been in this business for a number of years now, and I've only heard mention of your group getting together in the past month. This isn't my first owlbear-ride.&quot;

Bryne ap Emyr: <font color="#000000">&quot;My thanks. And as for overcoming national prejudices, they run deep, and with reason. lives have been lost, and lives, especially those of lost children, are never a slate to be cleared quickly or easily, expecially when their loss is denied by the one who caused it. Perhaps one day Aldusia and Mazio can live in peace, but it is not today, nor is forcing us to hear the others thoughts, likely to do anything but cause more arguments.&quot;

Adulian:<font color="#990000">Adulian catches on to the change in tone, and her dancing slows down to match; it's more of a swaying step, and she hums along with the tune. &#171; &#160;1d20+22 = 6 + 22 = 28&#160; <font color="#990000">&#187; Song and &#171;  &#160;1d20+22 = 2 + 22 = 24&#160; <font color="#990000">&#187; Dance!

Jason Storm:<font color="#000000">&quot; Why would you even try to ride an owlbear... &quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus gives Bryne a flat look.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">(I wanted to say &quot;rodeo&quot; xP)

Glitch:<font color="#000000">(Figured owlbear-riding would be an amusing niche pastime)

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..That does indeed sound very tragic. But it does not sound like anything that has anything to do with yourself and the gnome across the way. I had just hoped you would come to put that in perspective.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot; You should hear the one about the dire wolf. &quot; Oh, seems to be coming out of music-trance a bit. |3

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">&quot;I was merely pointing out that your friend Thomas has a point in that you seem to have no check between your brain and your tongue. Such things can be quite dangerous in this line of work, and it seems that you willfully or ignorantly disregard that.&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">The positioning of this scene strikes me.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DohRa9lsx0Q

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

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

Adulian:<font color="#990000">Hee.

Tathi:<font color="#9900FF">Vonain just gets a flat look. &quot;You really are that thick, aren't you? Okay. It'll hit you eventually.&quot; She gives him a dismissive wave. &quot;We're done talking.&quot;

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">Vonain tilts his head and quirks an eyebrow. &quot;Now that's hardly diplomatic, miss Tathi.&quot;

Bryne ap Emyr:<font color="#000000">&quot;For myself, I simply find their devices silly and self endangering. It is simply impracticle to go around with things likely to blow up in ones face. But my lord was raised with the reason for the conflict ingrained into him from a young age, reminders of why the conflit continues. And I doubt he will simply let it slide, especially as long as Mazio just denies the incident outright.&quot;

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">Vonain tilts his head and quirks an eyebrow. &quot;Now that's hardly diplomatic, miss Tathi.&quot;

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">ghaa

Bryne ap Emyr:<font color="#000000">meant to all be small

Candlestand: <font color="#000000">&quot;Arguing guardians,eh?

* Thomas Lazarus raises a hand and waves it off. u_u &quot;..Alright, alright.&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot; You have no idea. &quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I'll just add it to the list of unresolvable arguments we live with.&quot;

Adulian: <font color="#990000">&quot;Hey, Ed.&quot;

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

Bryne ap Emyr: <font color="#000000">&quot;My thanks, sir. &quot;

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">&quot;I measn, what possible reason could you, miss Tathi, have for deliberately spilling sensitive intelligence, and defending such actions?&quot;

Adulian: <font color="#990000">&quot;Does everyone in your group usually fight and argue like this?&quot;

Bryne ap Emyr:<font color="#000000">and brynne slips off

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Please excuse me for a bit. I'm going to work on contacting Nathan.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;.....&quot; ^^; &quot;We-eeeell.... not everyone...&quot; ^^;;;


 * Thomas Lazarus falls into a meditative stance and begins working on the spell.

Bryne ap Emyr whispers: the dragons blocking the entrance?&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9900FF">&quot;I don't explain myself to fools who can't see the danger someone has blatantly pointed out to them.&quot; Is the only response Vonain gets.

Adulian:<font color="#990000">Ed gets a skeptical look.

You whisper to Railock: Yes, but they may let you past if you say something.

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">Back from moving an old woman, dressing her in pyjamas, applying cream to her ass and putting something outside for the pastor.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">It'll take about 25 minutes before all is said and done, so Thomas will be sitting there for quite some time.

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Really!&quot; ^^;

Adulian:<font color="#990000">&quot;I think I see why you're known as the Arguing Guardians.&quot; :P

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;... What are we arguing about this time?&quot; =w=; &quot;Ael, can you translate the Tathi-ese? Afraid I'm not as fluent in it as you are.&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#9900FF">Aelian rapidly shakes his head, and makes cutting motions across his neck. =3=;;;

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">&quot;You stand and proclaim all around you to be fools, but with no explicable cause. That sounds like the blind fool to me.&quot;


 * Edaric does not press, then. =3=;

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">&quot;Even so, I truly have no idea what you seem to be implying about 'danger' when I was the one explaining it.&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus speaks up from his meditation, &quot;--I appreciate the gesture, Mr. Seldriot, but you're just prodding at a sore wound. I'd rather we relax this evening.&quot;

Jason Storm:<font color="#000000">Sketch sketch sketch.

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">&quot;Hmm. If you say so, sir Thomas.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">Sszeyl paints upon a strange white canvas.

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+14+mod = 8 + 14 + 0 = 22&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; Craft (painting) check!

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">&quot;Eh, as long as they aren't fighting outright&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+14+mod = 7 + 14 + 0 = 21&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; Craft (painting) check!

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">Vonain wanders away, and pulls out a notebook to write in.

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">With one last brush stroke, the old man turns the canvas face at the dragons, while a burning light issues from it.

Aelian:<font color="#9900FF">Aelian glances towards Edaric and says in a low voice. &quot; We really need to work with him.. he can't catch a clue. I thought for sure he was about to get roasted. &quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">Suddenly.


 * Thomas Lazarus prays and sereeeenes. =3=~

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot; I couldn't catch a clue, but then I came into it late. What was that all about? &quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">A crown roast appears on the young one's head, wheels of cheese at his side, a small stack of pears on the opposite side, and a small barrel of cider before him.

Markalith:<font color="#000000">Bad idea, Sszeyl. The larger dragon sweeps the smaller one under him with a claw and takes a deep breath. OH NO.

Aelian:<font color="#9900FF">&quot; Notice how Tathi's been dropping info here and there when it's just our party around? &quot;

Markalith:<font color="#000000">..... oh. Just food. The breath gets let out slowly.

VAE:<font color="#000000">What's a crown roast

Tathi:<font color="#9900FF">You had me scrambling for ways to counter dragon's breath, you darn DM! XP

Markalith:<font color="#000000">&quot;.... Explain what you are doing next time before you make sudden magical movements,&quot; the dragon gruffs.

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;Brace yourself for more food, then.&quot;

Isdruanir:<font color="#000000">My head is delicious. :9 !

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">&quot;And the next time, before you attempt to flash-freeze someone, would you please give me a hint to get off their shoulder?&quot;

Markalith:<font color="#000000">&quot; Paralysis, not freezing. &quot; &gt;|

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oddly enough that doesn't make me that much happier about it&quot; :3

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">A long string of sausages winds itself around the big one's neck, while a large barrel of hard cide appears at his front, a longspear with cooked pork, beef, pumpkin, and peppers all as large as a human head impaled upon it at his side, and a croquembouche on the opposite.

VAE:<font color="#000000">again. croquembouche wtf

Teeny Rin:<font color="#FF0000">All of it

Teeny Rin:<font color="#FF0000">All of it

Teeny Rin:<font color="#FF0000">is styrofoam.

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

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">See Irc.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Fancy stack of profiteroles.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Croquembouche

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">Bound by caramel and frosting.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">After the passage of some number of nebulous Akellon-DBZ faux minutes, Tom opens his eyes and a tiny gust of wind picks up for a moment. The spell is ready! Thomas Sends a message off to Nathaniel Torris. &quot;Here in the mountains, approaching summit. Things are... rather bad. We are okay. But would still welcome a.. private scry to explain further.&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Well, croquembouche isn't that common. It's fancy stuff. Same for crown roasts. :B

Nathokokasprithion:<font color="#000000">The reply comes shortly. &quot;Understood, Thomas. The crystal ball will be activated shortly.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Thanks...&quot; He remarks while looking at the fire and pondering. He probably knows Nathan couldn't hear that part.

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;Enjoy your meal.&quot;

Isdruanir:<font color="#000000">&quot;Thank you.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">And the old man just seems to ooze along the floor, not really moving too much.

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">Until HELLO MR. STORM.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">...I like the &quot;probably&quot; qualifier there. xP


 * Markalith is gazing at it intently, eyes glowing with magic. It's not poison, is it. :|

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">It was for all you Thomas is Goku fans.

Jason Storm:<font color="#000000">Is Sszeyl peeking at the sketchbook before startling the everloving bejeebers out of the postman?

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">The cat loiters around the dragons, waiting for any drops, fragments and leftovers

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">I am peeking.

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">&quot;Mrow! If you think it's poisoned I can be your taster!&quot;

Jason Storm:<font color="#000000">Drawings of the party members, particularly rough sketches of the people with detailed doodles of their outfits and armor, sometimes with creative flairs. He's drawing Tathi's new outfit now.

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;You have a good memory.&quot;

Jason Storm:<font color="#000000">&quot;-- !!&quot; Sketchbook snapped shut. o///o;

VAE:<font color="#000000">ughh, gotta run to certain places aka nature calls. Be back shortly

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">The old man sits.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Thomas remembers himself and speaks up. &quot;Sir Markalith? We're expecting a scrying in here shortly. Just saying so as not to alarm you.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;Still new to art?&quot;


 * Markalith is carefully unwinding his new sausage necklace. &quot;... Thank you for the warning.&quot;

Meany:<font color="#000000">&quot;Why does this never end?&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus would be hard-pressed to not notice the jumpy grouchy dragon. =3=;

Meany:<font color="#000000">&quot;Why does this never end?!&quot;

Meany:<font color="#000000">&quot;I CAN'T EAT THIS MUCH SAUSAGE DAMNIT&quot;


 * Jason Storm huffs. &quot;No. I've been drawing since I was a kid. I just don't like people sneaking up on me.&quot; &gt;|

Markalith:<font color="#000000">Candlestand gets some of the neverending sausages. =3=

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;I didn't sneak. You just were engrossed.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;Have you considered persuing a patronage?&quot;

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

Nathokokasprithion:<font color="#000000">A soft glowing golden orb of light appears hovering over the fire. &quot;... There we are. Good evening, Thomas, everyone.&quot; The voice is fairly quiet, but recognizeable.

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">Vonain perks up and approaches, as does Gnogglebolt

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Hello.&quot; {:3 &quot;We have some new faces here if you'd like to introduce yourself.&quot;

Adulian:<font color="#990000">&quot;Uh, hello!&quot;

Jason Storm:<font color="#000000">To be clearer, it's more of an incredulous &quot;what?&quot; than a confused &quot;what?&quot;

Adulian:<font color="#990000">&quot;...WHo are you?&quot; :B

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">The truth is, I would introduce you, but I have no idea what your dragon name is so I'll let you pick. |D;;;


 * Thomas Lazarus bricked.

Nathokokasprithion:<font color="#000000">The orb chuckles. &quot;Only a humble shopkeeper. Nathaniel Toris is the name I go by. Yourself, madam?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;Apparently some artists in this country do something called patronage.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;Are you familiar?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hello Nathanl.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">-l

Tathi:<font color="#9900FF">Tathi gives a little wave. &quot;Hiyo Mr. Toris. How's the family?&quot;

Jason Storm:<font color="#000000">&quot;No -- yes, I know what a patronage is -- but that's for painters and sculptors, and professionals.&quot; He sighs a bit, then cracks open the book a little. &quot;... If I was going to do anything with it, it would be costume design.&quot;

Malcolm Walker:<font color="#000000">&quot;... Hello, sir.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">Sszeyl produces his sketchbook, and opens up to the designs for his custom outfits so far.

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;This might help.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">Le show.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">..Come to think of it I have no idea what her family name is either. |3;

Adulian:<font color="#990000">&quot;Ah, pleased to meet you. Adulian, CHandak of the Spirit Walker tribe.&quot; :3


 * Maelgwyn ap Gwardnerth approaches, the conversation, leaving his armor for a bit

Maelgwyn ap Gwardnerth:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hmm? Speaking to the air? are we being contacted?&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus double-takes at Maelgwyn. It takes him a second to register. o_o; But the wings tip him off and he puts two and two together.

Nathokokasprithion:<font color="#000000">The voice is quiet a bit, and then returns in an amused whisper. &quot; Do be a tad quieter, Lady Eyllisaearsithek. Thomas requested a more private scrying session. Should Teria hear you, she may come investigating. &quot; |3

Tathi:<font color="#9900FF">&quot; Oh, sorry. Poor thing. &quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Yes, sir Maelgwyn. This is a good friend of ours, Mr. Nathaniel Toris.&quot;

Maelgwyn ap Gwardnerth: <font color="#0">(( yeah wasn't gonna look for a second image with wings for when armors off ))

Adulian: <font color="#990000">&quot;Is this one of your Dragon friends?&quot;

Maelgwyn ap Gwardnerth:<font color="#000000">&quot;Ah, Nice to meet you sir Toris, I am MAelgwyn ap Gwardnerth, at your service&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus nods a little, rests his hands on his knees and sighs at the fire. With introductions accounted for, &quot;..Well, I don't wanna leave you in suspense all night or anything; I know that was kind of a grim Sending. So I suppose I'll jump right into it.&quot;

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">Vonain is just watching and listening silently.

Nathokokasprithion:<font color="#000000">&quot;An Aldusian raptoran? Quite far north for one of your lineage, sir. A pleasure to meet you, regardless. Yes, your Sending was quite worrisome. What is the matter?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;White Dragons, sir, a huge infestation of them.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;We're up here in the howling peaks, and a lot.. a lot.. of white dragons are here. We've fought off three adults so far. ... It sounds like a Red has lead them up here. Almost certainly for the explicit purpose of intercepting us.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...And it seems they're specifically here for Sszeyl.&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Man why did I say howling peaks. X3

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">It's video games.

Tathi:<font color="#9900FF">Tathi looks left and right. &quot;Okay, I thought we were being quiet?&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">I'm stuck thinking all mountains are the howling peaks.

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

Nathokokasprithion:<font color="#000000">&quot;... Well, that's somewhat surprising.&quot; :.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...Only 'somewhat'?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;What's more surprising is that of the three we've killed.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;The one who put up the most fight was a transvestite.&quot;

Nathokokasprithion:<font color="#000000">&quot;Has Calaserian contacted you at all? It would explain why he has been more difficult to scry on as of late.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Quit saying that it was an ordinary dragon.&quot; =w=;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;We have not been contacted, no. We're still trying to fight our way up the mountain.&quot;

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">In the meantime, a currently very happy cat occupies himself with gnawing on sausages.

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;I'm not questioning why Vargie is so familiar with what white dragons consider feminine.&quot;

Maelgwyn ap Gwardnerth:<font color="#000000">&quot;How do you know? I caon't tell a female dragon from a male when they are in their normal shape. If he can, maybe he could pick up on such clues.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;What he had liasons with is not my problem.&quot;

Nathokokasprithion:<font color="#000000">&quot;Only somewhat, yes. I suspected Vargachixeniejir may try to mount a resistance, but nothing quite like this.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I was perhaps wondering if you had any way to contact Calaserian to make our approach easier.. but if not.. alas.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;As it turns out, the white dragon incursion up here has been going on for several months, and has almost completely shut down travel among the mountains.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;And our sources tell us the Citadel itself was surrounded at one point, and is on the defensive.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus: <font color="#ff0000">(( He had a Pink dragon son with a White once. No one likes to talk about him. *bricked* ))

Tathi:<font color="#9900FF">&quot;There's wards. A lot of wards. It's going to be hard just for us to get in there.&quot;

Nathokokasprithion:<font color="#000000">&quot;I could attempt another scrying. But first, what do you know of this insurgence of white dragons and the red leading it?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;We've told you about all we do know. Been going on for months, led by a Red, shut down travel, seems to be for the purpose of ensnaring us.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh, and there's something about a half-red-dragon female actingas a 'diplomat'.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Hm. It seems they approached the citadel, and told them the siege would stop after they gave up the...&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;...Uhhhh whatever the word was. Wrymseed.&quot; =w=;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Apparently she approached the Citadel and said if they'd hand over the 'Wyrmseed', which we presume is Sszeyl, then they'd stop the attacks.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;We have no idea how long ago that was, but Sszeyl and us weren't even here, as you know.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;, and there's also something about the Whites kidnapping Silver dragon younglings.&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;(They have also been stealing dragon children, honorable ancient one,)&quot; Swallowtail says in Amayan.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;We don't know for what purpose, as some of them turn up dead. The reast are completely unknown.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;And that'

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;And that's about it, that's the sum total of our current working knowledge.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9900FF">&quot;We've killed a few white dragons already. And I aim to kill a lot more.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">=_=; &quot; Frankly, I assume that to just be debased marauder behavior on their part and unworthy of stressing people with. But yes, there is also that..&quot;

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Can you contact the Citadel and tell them we're on our way, Nathan?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;We're going to be trying various methods of magical transportation tomorrow morning.&quot;

Teeny Rin:<font color="#FF0000">DOESN'T THAT EXPRESSION SOUND SAFE?

Nathokokasprithion:<font color="#000000">&quot; Given that knowledge, that explains completely why I have not been able to contact him these past few days. &quot;

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

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

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

Nathokokasprithion:<font color="#000000">&quot;Calaserian has long been protective of children. The others may have him chained to the citadel itself to keep from losing him to the chromatic insurgency.&quot;

Nathokokasprithion:<font color="#000000">&quot;... Metaphorically, of course. I don't mean to alarm you.&quot; =3=

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;In fact, not five hours ago, we saw a battle between two couples of Silver Dragons and attempted to intervene. It seems this is a commonplace occurance.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I suppose that somewhat explains their motive, atleast.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;From our limited information, it sounds like an all-out dragon-on-dragon war up here.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9900FF">&quot;There's a red dragon, apparently, in command.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot; We said that already, Tathi. Twice.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9900FF">She looks at the group. &quot;Do we have any information on that lizard beyond his oddball diplomat?&quot;

Nathokokasprithion:<font color="#000000">&quot;That does not surprise me, Miss Tathi. Trying to corrall white dragons into following a common cause would take a master diplomat such as a red dragon.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt shakes his head. &quot;We all are on the same footing here, Tathi. We only know what our friend over there told us.&quot;

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

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

Nathokokasprithion:<font color="#000000">&quot;I'd imagine it's like herding displacer beasts.&quot;

Teeny Rin:<font color="#FF0000">IT WAS YOU ALL ALONG.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Are you suggesting...if we eliminate the half-red 'diplomat', that the white alliance could fracture?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;The unified assault would dwindle?&quot;

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

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..Not diplomat. That was a word we chose.&quot;

Nathokokasprithion:<font color="#000000">There's silence for a moment. &quot;... No. The diplomat is likely only an emissary of the true mastermind.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">Sszeyl just keeps showing sketches of the clothes. Proto-designs, variant decals, changes in fabric.

Tathi:<font color="#9900FF">&quot;Could we just skip right down to crony?&quot;

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

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot; Or maybe it was ambassador I don't remember.&quot; *bricked*

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;So, go after the Red leader.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Cut off the head and the body dies deal?&quot;

Nathokokasprithion:<font color="#000000">&quot;What I wonder is who this red dragon may be. An ally of the Sealed One, or an enemy...?&quot;

Nathokokasprithion:<font color="#000000">&quot;If you happen to uncover a name, please let me know. I may be able to find it in my records.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9900FF">&quot;Nathan is right. This red dragon has pawns, killing them won't net us anything but small victories. We need to strike this infestation at the root.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Calm.&quot; He holds a hand out. =_=;

Adulian:<font color="#990000">&quot;Does it really matter? We are not concerned about who it is, simply that he must die.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Eliminate the leader. That's a plan I can get behind.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9900FF">&quot;It does matter. We need to know how all of these forces are connected.&quot;

Nathokokasprithion:<font color="#000000">&quot;It matters a great deal, Chandak Adulian... but it would take far longer to explain than there is time left on this scrying spell.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9900FF">&quot;You weren't here for this, but every single time we try to find another bit of help for our wyrmseed problem? There is SOME manner of obstacle in the way. It's too consistent to be coincidental. There is something or someone working to release the wyrmseed, and it seems like it's everywhere.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;... I would point out that this problem has stymied an entire community of silver dragon mages, before we let our minor successes against one or two isolated adults go to our heads.&quot;

Nathokokasprithion:<font color="#000000">&quot;... If I may ask a question, why do you have an unconscious chained young white dragon beside you?&quot; =3=;

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;Gnogglebolt wanted a pet.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt glances at Sszeyl. &quot;Sszeyl, is there anything you know of, or anything you can pry out of Red's memories, that might help?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">:|

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;We should meet with Calaserian and regroup before we get so gung-ho about tackling a red dragon of unknown power with an army behind it.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9900FF">&quot;Lunch.&quot; &#171; &#160;1d20+2 = 11 + 2 = 13&#160; <font color="#9900FF">&#187; bluff

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh, that. Um. In our first white dragon engagement, this one was the last one left, and was subdued at the time.&quot;

Player &quot;Sszeyl&quot; is not connected. You whisper to Meany: The red has been smiling and silent pretty much all day.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;And, well. You know we're not really in the business of executing things no longer a threat to us...&quot;&quot;

Adulian:<font color="#990000">&quot;Hmm. I think I shall have Pangur Ban press some of my contacts for information when he retrieves my spells tomorrow. Perhaps they will have some information we can use.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;He's been quiet.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;Smiling a lot.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;We thought we'd bring it to the Silvers in the Citadel, hoping they could get information out of it.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..Was that foolish of us?&quot;

Nathokokasprithion:<font color="#000000">&quot;Perhaps, perhaps not, though I wish you luck.&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus asks in genuine curiosity. He has been weighing the decision since the beginning.

Nathokokasprithion:<font color="#000000">&quot;White dragons... take quite a long time to mature.&quot; =3=;

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

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;I'm reminding him of the time he ate a green dragon and contracted a fungal infection in his mouth.&quot;


 * Adulian reaches up to her shoulder, and seems to be petting something.

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;Not getting much reaction out of him.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...So, then you don't see any particular problem with us continuing to transport it with us, as long as it poses no real danger to us, Nathan?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Good enough, I suppose.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;It is a right nuisiance, though. Annoying, but not truly dangerous.&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus falls quiet, and looks contemplative once more. It must be a Lazarus thing.

Nathokokasprithion:<font color="#000000">&quot;As long as you can continue to cope with it,&quot; the orb says, sounding vaguely amused.

Adulian:<font color="#990000">Anyone with active magic-detecting sight can see something sitting there, a vague shape draped across the back of her neck.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...But then, ultimately...this conversation comes down to this, doesn't it?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Thank you for being so quick to respond. I simply thought this something you may want to be made aware of.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;There's no real assistance you can offer us from where you are, is there, Nathan?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;But yes, it was also important to inform you, I suppose.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot; Oh don't say it like that. That sounds rude.&quot; =3=

Glitch:<font color="#000000">(goddammit. &gt;_- )

Nathokokasprithion:<font color="#000000">&quot;Not this time, young maester, I'm afraid. Your best chance would be to contact Calaserian, though I will also attempt to do that tonight....&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">ugh I think gotta run again.

Nathokokasprithion:<font color="#000000">&quot;.... Or.... hmm. .... No, he's likely to also be under tight warded supervision.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Alright, well. At least you've been informed of what we know. If we learn anything else important, I guess we'll try to get in contact again to convey it.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Indeed. Thank you again. Tell everyone we said hello.&quot; {:3

Nathokokasprithion:<font color="#000000">A small distant voice can be heard, and the voice of the other side chuckles deeply. &quot; I'm afraid our time is running short. Lumisteria is asking who I'm scrying on. &quot; |3c

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

Nathokokasprithion:<font color="#000000">&quot;I will. Thank you for the information, Guardians.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;It's so nice to know one of the five beings keeping a major evil out of the world is grounded without supper.&quot;

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

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

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

Meany:<font color="#000000">Great.

Adulian:<font color="#990000">&quot;Goodbye Nathan! It was a pleasure to meet you!&quot; :3

Tathi:<font color="#9900FF">&quot;Farewell.&quot;

Meany:<font color="#000000">Now hatari has to put on high heels, stocktings, and a dress then stand on a chair screaming and doing the mouse dance.

Nathokokasprithion:<font color="#000000">The orb winks out of existence.


 * Dr. Hatari is a dramatically better mouser than fatcat.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Well, at least you don't have to worry so much about your cat leaving you &quot;presents&quot; to teach you how to hunt? :P

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">Vonain finally speaks up. &quot;Well, that was was illuminating in one way.&quot;

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">&quot;We know the Citadel itself is actively under threat as we speak.&quot;

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

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">&quot;Maybe not actually being engaged in a battle, but under threat enough to keep the main Silvers busy./&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Well.. it's implied, of course. I would consider it 'contested'. The air is thick with evil dragons.&quot;

GM:<font color="#000000">Given Reshal is starting tomorrow, we should probably wrap up soon. So if you could wrap up RPs and get ready to nom...? :3


 * Thomas Lazarus sighs at the fire one final time before standing with a grunt and going for his things.

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">&quot;And from this, we can know...&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..Speaking of, I think I'll call it a night and prepare tomorrow's magic.&quot;

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">&quot;The approach to the Citadel is going to be extremely hairy.&quot;

Maelgwyn ap Gwardnerth:<font color="#000000">&quot;It'll be interesting if nothing else.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Mm..&quot; He whips his bedroll flat. &quot;..Who knows?&quot;

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">&quot;We could very well catylize an all-out battle if they're currently in standoff.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Maybe they've never warded against tree-portation and that alone will work, hm?&quot;

Adulian:<font color="#990000">&quot;Agreed, we will want an early start tomorrow.&quot;

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">Vonain shrugs. &quot;If, maybe. Would be nice.&quot;

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">&quot;Not counting on it.&quot;

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

Adulian:<font color="#990000">&quot;Well, I find it highly unlikely that the enemy has access to the kind of magic I use, soooo...&quot; &gt;.&gt;

Adulian:<font color="#990000">&quot;I mean, I've certainly never heard of a Chromatic Dragon using it.&quot;

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">&quot;As I said before, miss, any trick we can do, so can dragons, -if- they have the right resources. And I've heard stories of some very strange and exccentric dragons with very esoteric abilities before.&quot;

Adulian:<font color="#990000">&quot;It's simple logistics, really.&quot;

Meany:<font color="#000000">Can we go to noms, now? ^^;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">We could all along.

Adulian:<font color="#990000">&quot;Such a large creature would require as much effort to transport via plantlife as four of us.&quot;

Adulian:<font color="#990000">&quot;I would only be able to move a single Dragon of that size.&quot;

GM:<font color="#000000">Nom time!

Adulian:<font color="#990000">Well, anyway.

Maelgwyn ap Gwardnerth:<font color="#000000">thomas for trying to get mazians and aldusians in a mind link. yeah. that would of been interesting, they get to argue at each other with only thomas listening in

Meany:<font color="#000000">Tom for Arguing again. 9.9 Tathi and Vonian for volleying bullshit at each other. Candle for GIMME and Pears/Apples!

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Frankly, I'm disappointed. Gnogglebolt would have tried to make it work. Who's beng the more uncooperative now? :b

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

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">You could make up.

Adulian:<font color="#990000">As people settle down, Adulian starts to sing for everyone, a soft, soothing song. &#171; &#160;1d20+22 = 12 + 22 = 34&#160; <font color="#990000">&#187; Song! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j0JiEglvJic

Adulian:<font color="#990000">Come on, still nothing for me? Nothing at all? &gt;:

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">=3=c I'll prepare pears for breakfast.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">..Yeah. You never picked up on her doing that before?

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Tathi doesn't get proven wrong or convinced of things. Tathi gets bitey and defensive. Welcome to the group, you must be new. =w=;

Meany:<font color="#000000">Good.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">It just has too many windows for error.

Meany:<font color="#000000">You're making progress.

Meany:<font color="#000000">Away from being a Hipster.

Meany:<font color="#000000">You dirty hipster.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">The least of which is not the fact that tokens will randomly revert to 10 seconds ago after being modified.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">That works. =3=d

Ghostwish:<font color="#9900FF">Liatai, you gonna be around tomorrow? I'd like to see what I missed in Tathi's XP.

Meany:<font color="#000000">Everyone got juice for a Char question?

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

Meany:<font color="#000000">Your character is required to dress as the opposite sex. Why do they need to do this? Do they pass for the opposite sex? Do they ask for help from members of that sex to look more convincing? Why or why not?

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Yeah it's obviously not a running theme or anything huh =w=;

Meany:<font color="#000000">How so?

Candlestand:<font color="#000000">Dress? Cats don't dress, silly. I just have to smell right.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">One Drayco a lifetime is enough. And we just finished Akellon.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">I'm all out of patient explain.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">It's time for bulleet.

VAE:<font color="#000000">I don't see how it has to be a fetish, either.

VAE:<font color="#000000">It's mainly owl being silly.

Meany:<font color="#000000">One character who changed faces every day until Ganti's connection couldn't handle it, and a trans sex char who was determined via rolls.
