Ghostwish has connected.

RAM has connected.

Liatai:Yo!

RAM::D

RAM:Hi!

* RAM gives the Lia scritchies!

Liatai:You'll notice Dragula now has HP. :3

RAM:She does!

* RAM saves the new token!

RAM:D: RAM:She needs repairs!

Liatai:Yep. She got caught in that cone of cold. ^^;

Shankfang the Deffrider:It's okay, baby. Daddy'll take care of you! D: Faerie has connected.

RAM:Yo Fae!

RAM:So, what time does Akellon start again?

Liatai:2:00 EST. :3

Faerie:2PM. 1 hour from now.

RAM:<font color="#990000">Thought so.

* RAM contemplates ordering a pizza and 2 liter of Mountain Dew...

Faerie:<font color="#009999">And I will say, lest anyone have forgotten, that I will definitely be absent next week.

Faerie:<font color="#009999">May or may not be on IRC at some point, but Danny is going to be over, so we're gonna go do things.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Ah, yes, I remember now.

RAM:<font color="#990000">&quot;Things?&quot;

RAM:<font color="#990000">Wink wink, nudge nudge?

RAM:<font color="#990000">:3

Faerie:<font color="#009999">Well, I'm not sure what the timing will be exactly, but that's probably safe to assume.

Faerie:<font color="#009999">...right, smilies.

Faerie:<font color="#009999">There we go.

Faerie:<font color="#009999">(Sorry, I say, this computer is only about a week old.)

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Oooh. :o Right, you got the Alienware.

Faerie:<font color="#009999">(So there's still a few settings I haven't got in.)

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

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

RAM:<font color="#990000">Aren't those the super-awesome gaming PC's?

Faerie:<font color="#009999">It's pretty nice, yeah.

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

Faerie:<font color="#009999">This one is a laptop, but I say, it can pretty much play anything on decent settings.

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

* RAM can has pizza and Mountain Dew in 45 minutes!

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Man, that's one thing I miss, living in the middle of nowhere. No good pizza shops in delivery range.

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

RAM:<font color="#990000">That sucks!

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

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

* Liatai pokes. Delevel. :P

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

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Big mean DM. &gt;:(

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Half. A box. Of tissues.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">You don't even need to change saves or anything, just attack things and HP. :B

Liatai:<font color="#000000">And skills, sorry.

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">BIG BLUBBERING MEANY. :P

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">I kid. :P

* RAM has PIZZA!

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">So! Party for the father or not? :&gt;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">I'm thinking, I'm thinking. You can make one up if you like.

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

TMG:<font color="#000000">'party for the father'?

TMG:<font color="#000000">popping in for just a sec.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">I'm going to go find another quilt before the game, BRB. Brrr.

Faerie:<font color="#009999">PC pizza party?

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Tech, a party for Tathi's father, who is an adventurer.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Party as in adventuring party. :B

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">I've got two energy drinks in the fridge right now. We are taking this to new years, right? :&gt;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Probably not. ^^;

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

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Heresy! :&gt;

Faerie:<font color="#009999">&quot;Adultery is so much classier with a British accent.&quot;

Faerie:<font color="#009999">(BBC America advert)

Faerie:<font color="#009999">I was amused. :u

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Hmm, hmm. Three players.

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Meany's said he'd be late, so we're just waiting on the Hatari.

RAM:<font color="#990000">He needs to wake his ass up! &gt;:(

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

RAM:<font color="#990000">Speak of the devil!

Liatai:<font color="#000000">:o Is a Hatari!

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Hokay, are ve ready to schtart?

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Not quite yet. DM is formulating narrative, and I'm guessing the good doktor is making breakfast.

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

* RAM goes back to watching A Knight's Tale.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">More or less.

* Ghostwish sitckes a cheesy nacho hat on the dr.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Not feeling very well.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">&gt;: Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Hello. Has you heard the madness of my backstory plottins?

RAM:<font color="#990000">Taddi's father is &quot;The Unicorn Man&quot;

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">You forgot a bit. :B

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">The GREAT Unicorn man. XD

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">I randomly rolled names.

RAM:<font color="#990000">Right, my bad.

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">'Raerarael'

RAM:<font color="#990000">The GREAT Unicorn Man. Great must be spelled in ALL CAPS.

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

RAM:<font color="#990000">Bold is optional.

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">And he comes from the house of &quot;Blood of the Dragons&quot;.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Is he dead?

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

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

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Now he's worse about adventuring than Tomiko.

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;GLORY. ADVENTURER. DESTRUCTION! :D&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Scooby-Doo levels of getting stuck into the wrong shit? :B

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Ruh-roh.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">I also like how Tomi has apparently set some kind of bar for indescriminate wreckage.

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

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">I'm actually just pushing it on you so Tathi doesn't get labeled with it. :P

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Tathi's all talk. Her scoresheet just includes a door. :B

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">True. At least Tomi's has &quot;diamond boulder&quot; on it. :B

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Best competition idea ever.

RAM:<font color="#990000">Hee, silly Tomi.

RAM:<font color="#990000">Queen of Indiscriminate and Wanton Destruction.

RAM:<font color="#990000">Just because she can.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">T_T

RAM:<font color="#990000">And Thomas, the runt of the litter.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Oh cheer up mopey dopey. You haven't met my uncle yet...

GM:<font color="#000000">Righto! So, where were we last game...? In the Bureaucracy Capital of Akellon, Braxton Falls.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">At least hyu hef family.

Elros:<font color="#009999">I think we'd be better off not meeting your uncle.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">I have a feeling it's going to be unavoidable.. *sigh*

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">We are Meanyless.

Elros:<font color="#009999">GM, did you remember to secure our permit to initiate RP though?

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Meany's said he'd be late.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">De bureaucracy iz ekspundink to meet de needs uf de ekspundink bureaucracy!

GM:<font color="#000000">After coming from the highly chaotic and financially draining Bridgeton, the Vigilant Guardians, aboard the Cygnet, have travelled down to Braxton Falls amid driving rain. According to the town guard, the city has been plagued by storms for three days now, and facing a giant invasion from within at the same time.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Und dey met me!

GM:<font color="#000000">They disembarked to investigate, and met -- yes, I was getting to you. :B

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

GM:<font color="#000000">Beating down some ogres that had taken over a butcher's shop yielded evidence that they may be in league with a covey of hags. Unfortunately, it seems that the Guardians' meddling did not go unnoticed. They were ambushed in the rain on the way back to the Dancing Priest for the night... and... well.

GM:<font color="#000000">The Guardians can no longer say they have a 100% fatality-free record.

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">Please.. just skip that part.. Tathi's already crushing my ribs. Ow. x.x

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">But he got betta!

GM:<font color="#000000">He did indeed.

GM:<font color="#000000">We rejoin the Guardians on a dark and stormy night at the Dancing Priest, on Yondallon 8th, 1221 CA...

GM:<font color="#000000">Please move yourselves to the north of the block you're in when your character(s) head to bed so the others know who's available for RP and who isn't.

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Ack! Tavia! Quit tripping over my feet!&quot;

GM:<font color="#000000">I think that's all the paperwork taken care of --

Tavia:<font color="#0000FF">Rrrrrrrrrr. &gt;:|

City Guard:<font color="#000000">A-HEM.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Dem, it's really komink down out dere...&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;What? I am -not- about to just up and die on you.&quot;

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

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;I'm not! Really!&quot;

GM:<font color="#000000">Yes sorry here you go, authorization to start RP. =3=

City Guard:<font color="#000000">That's better.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Keep him on a short lease, Tavia.&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;A dog keeping a person on a leash. Silly.&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Hey!&quot; Aelian says, before finally throwing his hands up in defeat. &quot;I swear, you people talk like I died or something. OW!&quot; He says, jumping as Tathi zaps his bum with a spark.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Too soon.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Are hyu feelink henny betta, Aelian? Hall tinks konsidered, uf kourse.&quot;

* Edaric nods in agreement with Tathi.

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Ha. All things considered? Yes. I'm alive, thanks to you all. I do feel weaker than before, however. I was told it's an effect of the crossing. Life does not come without price, so they say.&quot;

Tavia:<font color="#0000FF">Rrrrrrrrrr!

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;I'm fine.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;So Hy hef heard. But, at least hyu are schtill vith iz, yah?&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;If Tavia would get off my legs!&quot; Aelian says, futily trying to push the giant puppy away.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;I'm not so sure..&quot; Tathi says, snapping her spellbook closed.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Shankfang reaches over to pick up the elf puppy, giving him a good pettinz in the process.

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;What?&quot; Aelian says with a confused look, giving up on the puppy braces on his legs and looking over at his lover.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Hokay, kalm down puppy. You master iz fine.&quot;

* Edaric is uncharacteristically quiet during the walk back.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;You died today, Aelian. And we got you back, but how much are you willing to risk death again?&quot; She says, staring intently at Aelian.

Tathi: <font color="#ff">(( oh, they're walking? I was under the assumption they're back in the tavern XD ))

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">He's still quiet after the walk so it doesn't matter. :B

Shankfang the Deffrider: <font color="#990000">(( So was I, actually... ))

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Isn't that part of being an adventurer?&quot; Aelian asks, idly scritching Tavia.

* Dr. Hatari is at the keys. Just looking up some things in other windows.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi sighs softly. &quot;I suppose that is true, isn't it? I realize that everything was just chance and fate back there. Nothing I could have done.&quot; She says, idly petting Amadre.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Dat iz de risk ve take, yah.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;... It easily could have been any of us.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Or even a group of random passersby -- that thing would have had no problem wiping out a crowd of townsfolk with a blast like that.&quot;

Elros:<font color="#009999">&quot;Were it not night, it most likely would have been.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;No.. all the better we put it down. An ogre mage, in the city..&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Vich iz vy ve are here, to ensure dat does not heppen.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;It iz a dangerous job, yah, but ve do it so odders don' hef to.&quot;

* Edaric folds his hands, thinking. &quot;How many more of them are out there right now...?&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;No more fighting tonight.&quot;

* Edaric blinks. &quot;What?&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;No fighting giants. All tired. No magic.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Hy belieff Svallowtail hes de right idea. Ve schould rest for tonight. Ve kan kontinue tomorrow.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot; -- Well I wasn't saying we should go out there right now.&quot; ^^;

* Swallowtail gives Edaric a confused look.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">The NPCs disperse into the tavern for now -- you may move to bed or keep talking, either to other PCs or to NPCs.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Hy do belieff Svallowtail und Hy hef zum onfineeshed business, yah?

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Shankfang heads to the bartender. After a night like that, he needs a drink.

* Thomas Lazarus is deathly silent for almost the entirety of the evening. But not for any kind of apparent trauma, or anything. He simply looks contemplative and fatigued.

Elros:<font color="#009999">&quot;Well, unless you think we ought to post a watch, I think I'll turn in for the night.&quot;

Dancing Priest Bartender:<font color="#000000">&quot;What's your pleasure?&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Hy vill vatch. Hy need to fix my bike up a bit, hennyvay.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Hyu vouldn' heppen to hef kider, vould hyu?&quot;

Elros:<font color="#009999">&quot;Do make sure you get rest though. And if anything happens, fetch us.&quot;

Dancing Priest Bartender:<font color="#000000">&quot;Alcoholic or non?&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Uf kourse, Hy hain't schtupeed.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Alcoholic, please. Apple, if hyu hef it.&quot;

Dancing Priest Bartender:<font color="#000000">&quot;7 CP, please.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Shankfang hands the man the copper and his thanks before taking the drink.

Dancing Priest Bartender:<font color="#000000">... Man?

* Dr. Hatari zooms in really far.

Dancing Priest Bartender:<font color="#000000">:B

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Er, woman. Hard to tell from the token.

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

* Dr. Hatari also assumed it was a man. :B

* Liatai adds that token to the androgynous file. =3=;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Do hyu mind if Hy brink it outside? Hy need to vork on my bike zum.&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">I thought for sure Selda was more ambiguous than that bartender, but everyone pegged her as female no problem. :B

Shankfang the Deffrider: <font color="#990000">(( I have to zoom way in to tell. ))

Dancing Priest Bartender:<font color="#000000">&quot;As long as you bring the tankard back inside when you're done.&quot;

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Suddenly, dr oak.. are you a boy... or a girl...

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Uf kourse, tenk hyu.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider: <font color="#990000">(( Oh silly Oak. Your vision must be going. ))

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">An Amayan sidles up to the bar. &quot;... So, how you know Gnog-lebolt, Shenkfang?&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Erm, Hy hef no idea vat hyu are talkink about. Vo iz dis Gnogglebolt?&quot; Shankfang laughs nervously. Damn, one of them caught on.

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;You are very bad liar.&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;Not practiced.&quot; |3 &quot;Laugh betrays you.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Hy know. Honestly, Hy em surprised no vun else kaught it...&quot; Shankfang sighs, his eyes darting to the rest of the group. &quot;Kome outside vith me. Ve kan talk vile Hy fix my Deffbike.&quot;

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

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Shankfang brings his cider outside with him, sipping on it as he situates himself next to Dragula.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;So, hyu know Hy vas lyink about not knowink Gnogglebolt.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Goodnight,&quot; Thomas pats Aelian on the head a single time before trudging off to the inn's rooms, tome under arm still.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&#171; &#160;1d20+11 = 18 + 11 = 29&#160; <font color="#990000">&#187; Craft Tech device to start repairs.

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">On your way down, you almost bump into a drow. &quot;Excuse me.&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Your way up, sorry.

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;... So?&quot;

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

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;De truth iz, Hy actually knev Gnogglebolt back in Mazio, before he left to kome here. Heh, imagine my surprise to learn he vas travelink vith hyu guys.&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">:o

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;I can imagine. But why lie? Gnog-lebolt will be happy to meet a countryman. Speaks often of Mazio.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">Up to the counter the drow goes, talking briefly with the barkeep.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Oh, no no no. He von' be heppy to see me at hall. He...holds a bit uf a grudge against me.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20 = 19&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;... Him? Grudge?&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Yah, a pretty big vun.&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;What you do, not screw device in properly?&quot; -3-

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Erm, not qvite...&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">The ninja waits.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Hy...em engaged to his sister...&quot;

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

* Swallowtail pictures a female Gnogglebolt engaged to Shankfang.

* Swallowtail boggles. O_o

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

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Yah, not qvite vat hyu vere ekspectink, huh?&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Turning bolts, fixing cracks...

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">Le return to bed~

* Swallowtail keeps blinking. O_o o_O

Shankfang the Deffrider: <font color="#990000">(( Say, Lia, would Mazio have maybe developed cameras? ))

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Not in common use.

Shankfang the Deffrider: <font color="#990000">(( If so, I can imagine Shankfang carrying around a picture of Talfeera on him. :3 ))

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;...&quot; Sense Motive &#171; &#160;1d20+9 = 17 + 9 = 26&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;... if you were not such bad at lying, I would say you were washing the trail with a flood.&quot;

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

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Tender!&quot;

Dancing Priest Bartender:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yeah?&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Have any moondrop?&quot;

Dancing Priest Bartender:<font color="#000000">&quot;No, sorry.&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">Aelian looks up, seemingly horrified. &quot;Tathi!&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Heh, Hy kan onderstund hyu disbelief. A Helf-Orc und a Gnome? Not eksactly kommon.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;What? We need to celebrate your deathday! That's just like a birthday, isn't it?&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">Aelian immediately looks exasperated. &quot;Oh, but I was too soon, huh?&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Fine, we'll find another way to celebrate it. C'mon.&quot; She says, promptly pulling the half-elf along with her up the stairs.

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;See you in the morning Edaric.&quot; ^^;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;But, it iz true. Gnogglebolt...vell, he may hef kaught us 'in de act' before ve got a chance to tell him...&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;See ya. ... Sleep well.&quot;

* Swallowtail boggles more. O_o

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;... How?&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;-- Never mind I do not want to know&quot; =w=;;;;;;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Heh, goot. Hy vouldn' hef told hyu hennyvay.&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot; Need to wash mental vision... &quot; =w=;;;;;;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Sitting on the foot of his bed, haunched over a sacred codex, Thomas studies and plans late into the night with a grim and quiet determination. Tomorrow they'll need to be prepared. It'll be no less dangerous from here on out. He doesn't feel satisfied with his work until near-midnight, when his room's candlelight finally snuffs out.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Given the racket though, he's not getting to sleep anytime soon.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Hennyvay, ve decided to moff out here to get married. So, Hy took vun last job vith de Mazian post. Vun more delivery, und dem Hy em gunna find a place for de tvo uf us to liff. Und a nev job.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">There's a reason I'm staying down here for as long as I am. =w= ... Well. Aside from the tankard that's not finished, and plucking at the lute every now and then for a few notes, though everything sounds dissonant and he doesn't play for long.

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

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;... is legal? Half-orc and gnome?&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Vell, yah. As far as Hy know, dere hain't henny lavs against interracial marriage.&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;I see.&quot; Swallowtail looks contemplative.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Until BRAXTON FALLS, THAT IS.

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

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Feh, like we're gonna get married somewhere like this.

Guard:<font color="#000000">Ooh! A novel idea -- ow, where did these bricks come from?

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">It'd take years just to fill out the required paperwork!

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Kopper for hyu toughts?&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;Sorry. I am not Kellon. Things are very strange here.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">A sleepy-looking templar appears downstairs as the night grows long.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Fair enough. Hy em schtill gettink used to it myself.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus rubs out the corners of his eyes with a finger and thumb, and takes a seat near Edaric. &quot;..Haven't tried to sleep, yet? It's getting late, friend.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Fack, mind holdink dis in place for me?&quot; Shankfang points to a hose he is trying to replace.

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;Deep-trench elves, invisible blue giants, small and big getting married, machines of mist. All strange.&quot; Swallowtail holds it exactly where told.

* Edaric winces at another dissonant chord. &quot;In a bit.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Tenk hyu.&quot; Shankfang clamps the hose in place, giving the ninja a smile. &quot;Heh, if hyu tink dis iz schtrange, hyu schould visit Mazio.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus offers a sad smile. &quot;It wouldn't be very good timing, anyways.&quot; He falls silent for a bit.

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;Too far. Master would be even more disappointed.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Disappointed? Vy?&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;Too far from -- Amaya. Not supposed to travel that far.&quot; &#171; &#160;1d20+8 = 4 + 8 = 12&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; Bluff

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&#171; &#160;1d20 = 7&#160; <font color="#990000">&#187; Sense Motive!

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..If you get anything on your chest you feel like talking about.. or, you know.. just feel like complaining to someone who won't mind, I'd like you to know I'm always up for that, Ed.&quot; :3

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Ah, fair enough. Amaya iz pretty far from here.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Not that I think I've ever heard you complain about anything.&quot; He chuckles.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Vell, maybe zumday. Hy tink hyu vould find it...interestink. Dere are technological devices like Dragula everyvere, from simple to impossibly kompleks!&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">He sobers slightly. &quot;... You just seemed really upset earlier. Are you okay?&quot;

* Edaric chuckles. &quot;Nah. Complaining doesn't do any good. Besides, it's bad for morale.&quot; He pauses, setting his lute aside. &quot;... Should be. I mean, he's back. It's not like it took or anything.&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;How does anyone hear?&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Hyu get used to it.&quot; Shankfang laughs slightly, polishing off his drink. Lia, how much repairage did I get for the Deffbike with a 29?

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

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

* Thomas Lazarus just watches the bard for a few more moments. &quot;I don't blame you for being a little shaken up still. I.. certainly am.&quot; ^^;; &quot;..Just checking in on you.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;...............................&quot; D8

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Crap we have to go to the Cygnet.&quot; o_o;;

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

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;How could I -- uff, I can't believe that slipped my mind.&quot;

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

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I told Terri and the crew we'd be back in a little while.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;But despite de noise, it hain't a bad place. Hy mean, it's vere Hy met talfeera after hall. It vill alvays hold a schpecial place in my heart for dat.&quot;

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

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;How do you ride? Gnog-lebolt said Mazio had many rivers.&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">-- Gyah, Tathi's new token image gave me a start. O_o

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Boo. :P

Liatai:<font color="#000000">It feels like even more of an extreme closeup than the other one was. XD

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

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Vell, dey hef bridges over most uf dem...&quot;

Faerie:<font color="#009999">An extreme closeup of a slightly buzzed Tathi?

Faerie:<font color="#009999">&gt;.&gt;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Almost a little &quot;AUGH TOO CLOSE.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider: <font color="#990000">(( Silly Taddi. ))

Liatai:<font color="#000000">... okay what image is that from? It's distracting me a little. ^^;

* Thomas Lazarus stands and rubs his head with a sigh. &quot;I won't be able to sleep without atleast letting them know we're staying over on business.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Pardon me. I'll be swift.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Hmm, if only you had a way to get a quick message to them...

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Wait, hold up!&quot;

Dragula the Deffbike:<font color="#990000">Ohai there!

Tathi: <font color="#ff">(( Fey Winds! :&gt; ))

* Thomas Lazarus looks back. &quot;?&quot;

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

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">You're an inanimate object, you can't talk!

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;We shouldn't go out alone, what if one of those things is out there?&quot;

Tathi: <font color="#ff">(( http://kitsune.rydia.net/comic/page.php?id=42 ))

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Snahnkfang finshes tightening down a bolt, sighs and slides out from under the Deffbike. &quot;Vell, Hy tink dat vill do for now. Hy'll fineesh her up tomorrow.&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Okay, I'm sorry, but do you mind if I change it to something a little less close-up? ^^;;;;;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Staaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaare.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">That's a little better. ^^;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Critics. Hmph! :P

Token:<font color="#000000">This is what I was about to switch it to. :P

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;... Do you mind a tagalong?&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">That version looks much improved.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Oh, not at all.&quot; ^^; &quot;You're right, of course..&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I was just going to run through the rain real quick.&quot;

Dragula the Deffbike:<font color="#990000">Why run when you can ride?

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Do you have to ask? =3=

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">You can't talk! Hush!

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Oh, hey Tomas, Edaric. Vere are hyu tvo uff ot?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">A templar leaves a bar, walks into a half-orc biker and a ninja...

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hello. Where you going?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Sounds like a dumb joke setup.

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

Edaric:<font color="#000000">No, it would only be so if you were walking into the bar. =3=

Edaric:<font color="#000000">.... then again I have no ranks in Perform (comedy) so take that as you will. :B

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;It's getting very late.&quot; He sighs, &quot;I just remembered I told Terri and the crew we would only be a little while. We should also appraise the captain of the situation for security purposes.&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Perform (comedy) bard... puns for buffs?

* Dr. Hatari writes down.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Oh! Vould hyu like a ride? Hy need to make sure de repairs hold up, hennyvay!&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;...&quot; ^^;;; &quot;That's okay. It would probably wake up everyone between here and the docks and get us arrested for disturbing the peace or something.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Besides, I don't think -- you said it could only carry 600 pounds, that's not enough for everybody.&quot; ^^;;;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Hyu sure? Hy kan get hyu dere right qvick!&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Hear that elves? YOU'RE VIOLATING THE LAW! &gt;:O

* Thomas Lazarus holds out a hand. &quot;I'm sure.&quot; =w=;;;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">COULDN'T HEAR YOU OVER THE BED SRINGS. WHAT?

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">CRIMINAL SCUM &gt;:O

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

GM:<font color="#000000">You may want to roll Spot on your way to the Cygnet.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Spottan on the way~ &#171; &#160;1d20+2 = 15 + 2 = 17&#160; <font color="#FF0000">&#187;

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">hilarious oblivion antics: So, once I was leaving a shop in the imperial city, and apparently I had a bounty or something because this guard meant to stop me as I left.... except for some ungodly reason, he spawned four stories up or something. so I got stopped by the dialogue, and heard the following: STOP RIGHT THERE CRIMINAL *splat* before he hit the ground and died.

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20 = 3&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

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

Shankfang the Deffrider: <font color="#990000">(( Hee... ))

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">I just kind of stared.. exited the dialogue window, looted his corpse, and ran away. :P

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Thomas does as he said, and makes the trek at a run through town. It's pouring rain on them, afterall.

Shankfang the Deffrider: <font color="#990000">(( Can't really blame you for that. ))

Faerie:<font color="#009999">No sense leaving good loot go to waste.

GM:<font color="#000000">The rain is thick and heavy, and you manage to spot something rolling down the street ahead of you... it looks like a body.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;So, if hyu don' mind me askink, vat brinks hyu so far from home, Svallowtail?&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">I did have one moment in Whitehearth where I was just walking out of someone's house and out of nowhere this woman falls through the top of my peripheral vision and hits the ground, dead. In the middle of the road.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">I had to stop and look up, like, &quot;..... &gt;.&gt;;;; ?&quot;

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">A dragon once greeted me like that. I was coming through a pass, and he threw a guard against the wall right before I caught sight of him.

* Thomas Lazarus jogs to a slow stop in the rain, and holds out a gauntlet before Edaric. &quot;... ?&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">A body rolling down the street?

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Are we at an incline or somesuch?

Liatai:<font color="#000000">... the only NPC I've had fall on me in Morrowind is Tarhiel... though I've seen a boat captain keep moving a few pixels to the right every time I used the boat. I kept thinking I would go to Vivec one day and see the captain in the water being eaten by slaughterfish while saying &quot;We make a special trip, just for you, same low price.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider: <font color="#990000">(( That would be hilarious. ))

Liatai:<font color="#000000">You are on a flat street, but there's enough water in the streets now that it's starting to noticeably run. The body's not so much rolling anymore as it is being slowly pushed by the water your way.

* Edaric stops, peering ahead, hand hovering over the rapier at his belt. &quot;What? What is it?&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus dons a grim look.

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">I was running from the guard, and happened to piss off some giants on the way. A guard caught me as I was side-stepping a giant's swing, and got a very quick trip back to whiterun. I -never- found his corpse.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..Keep your guard up. I think I see a corpse. This is getting really bad..&quot;

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

* Thomas Lazarus draws out his weapon and approaches.

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">I swear it must have touched down somewhere near the halls of the dead (ironically) but I could never find it.

* Edaric follows suit, whispering a spell phrase under his breath... consider yourself blurred, Thomas.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Yeah, bet you were wishing you'd taken the offer to ride the Deffbike now, huh?

GM:<font color="#000000">The body acts very body-like. Bleeding from several deep gashes, moving only where the water pushes it. Except... it seems to be breathing.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">The Deffbike probably would have run the body over. :B

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

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;!!!!&quot; D: Thomas drops his blade in the street and immediately kneels by the injured person. Consider yourself cured for &#171; &#160;1d8+9 = 1 + 9 = 10&#160; <font color="#FF0000">&#187;, person.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Oh my goodness -- can you stand?&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus narrows his eyes and looks up at the inky horizons of the night-time cityscape. &quot;...&quot;

Victim:<font color="#000000">The man groans. &quot; ... guhhhhh... who....? &quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Ewwwww this pizza is rock-solid... =3=

Victim:<font color="#000000">He then proceeds to cough up water, though he still isn't moving much.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">... =3= *eats anyways*

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Achievement Unlocked - Extreme Cold Pizza Breakfast. *brick'd*

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Heal check. &#171; &#160;1d20+9 = 17 + 9 = 26&#160; <font color="#FF0000">&#187;

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">ugh, achievements. fucking steam christmas. XD

Shankfang the Deffrider: <font color="#990000">(( Hee. ))

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;We need to get you out of here.&quot; He grabs up his sword with a frown.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Were you ambushed with anyone else? Do you remember?&quot;

Victim:<font color="#000000">&quot; Can't move... &quot; 4/9 HP, and a whopping 10 points of Strength damage.

* Thomas Lazarus seems taken aback by the man's unnatural emaciation.

Victim:<font color="#000000">&quot; The old woman... there was an old woman, she did something... &quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Want me to go get a guard?&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus frowns and simply moves to pick the man up. He drapes one of the fellow's arms over his back and holds him upright using his free arm. Fortunately for Thomas, he is quite strong.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Let's find one together.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;You were right, Ed..&quot;

Victim:<font color="#000000">He blinks at Thomas' blurred outline and slowly rubs his free hand over his eyes before squinting.

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

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Oh erm -- that's magic, you're not seeing things.&quot; =w=;

Victim:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh. Good.&quot;

Guard:<font color="#000000">Law patrol is on patrol!

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Guard search detour!

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Help, I need -- WHY ARE YOU ARRESTING ME WAIT &gt;:O&quot;

Guard:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hey! You there! It's dangerous to be out at night, do you have your papers -- what is going on here?&quot;

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">STOP CRIMINAL RIGHT SCUM.

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">THERE LAW YOU VIOLATED FINE.

* Thomas Lazarus waves down the guard.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Yes yes, we have papers. More importantly, this man just washed up along the road at death's door. He's in desperate need of bedrest or church services.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Have a final wand prod for good measure, lucky civilian. &#171; &#160;1d8+1 = 3 + 1 = 4&#160; <font color="#FF0000">&#187;

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

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Damnit Ghost you broke my window XD

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

Guard:<font color="#000000">&quot;-- !! Of course, right away. The shrine of Heironeous is just down this way.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus looks to the man with a frown. &quot;Can you tell us anything about the woman who did this to you? Where it happened? Any distinct look to her disguise?&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus follows the guard's indication all the while.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Uhg, this entire town is my worst nightmare. D: Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">For a multitude of reasons, some less lulzy than others!

Victim:<font color="#000000">&quot; Ugh... she was very ugly. Very very ugly. Travelling alone in an oilskin cloak. Was on my way back to the Orc and asked if she needed an escort -- she turned to look at me and -- no strength. She had... claws... &quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">If only your knowledge nut was there, you know, being useful instead of being shagged senseless.

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Sounds like Elros and the Mace people were right on the money.&quot; Edaric sort of flits in the background, keeping a nervous eye out as the group travels.

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

Elros:<font color="#009999">I almost wish I was there. I can barely sleep, you two. :[

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Why do you think I'm outside?

Guard:<font color="#000000">It's not far to the shrine, and the man is dropped off without much undue fuss.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">I am daring a guard to try and arrest us.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Thank you, sir. Rest well. You'll need a blessing or a week off your feet before you're back in any shape to work.&quot;

Elros:<font color="#009999">For what, public indecency?

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Hey, we've got the blinds drawn!

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

Victim:<font color="#000000">&quot;Thank you -- thank you. You saved my life.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Once the fellow is in the temple's hands, Thomas returns to the rain.

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

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">This entire town.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Everything in it.

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

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Cannot unsee.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">This is now AWESOME TOWN &gt;:O

* Liatai has never played/seen it. ^^;;;;

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

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">same. ^^;

Shankfang the Deffrider: <font color="#990000">(( Nor have I. ))

* Thomas Lazarus sighs wearily and rubs the bridge of his nose.

* Ghostwish shuffles Hatari over to the obscure corner.

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">It's a Meany! :D

Shankfang the Deffrider: <font color="#990000">(( He lives! ))

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">For what it's worth, it's absolutely phenominal.

GM:<font color="#000000">Off to the Cygnet with you two!

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

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Oh good idea D| *rush rush*

Meany:<font color="#000000">Hello hello hello.

Meany:<font color="#000000">Status?

Liatai:<font color="#000000">It's about midnight on Yondallon 8th, just wrapping things up.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Then we're moving to the new day.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Swallowtail now knows my little secret!

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Not too much has occurred. It's still the night we left off last game on, with most of the party getting to sleep at the inn.

Kelsey Selkirk:<font color="#000000">&quot;Is that -- Ho there! Slow down, don't slip on the docks!&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus wobbles. =w=;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Good evening. Everything has been alright?&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus rushes aboard.

Kelsey Selkirk:<font color="#000000">&quot;So far -- almost everyone's asleep. Your little red-haired friend has been patrolling belowdecks.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus looks a little guilty, briefly. &quot;I see.&quot;

Terri:<font color="#000000">On cue, a little red-haired head peeks up from belowdecks, opening the hatch. &quot;-- Hi!&quot; :O

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;Everybody's safe! I've been makin' sure!&quot;

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

* Thomas Lazarus offers a little wave.

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Where is this new terri token. XP

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Good girl. Sorry we took so long to get back.&quot; ^^;

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;No invisible blue giants on my watch!&quot; Terri nods proudly. 83

* Thomas Lazarus trails slightly.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;It's getting late now, and we're going to be forced to stay in town until we take care of this storm's source. And we've found out what it is. It should not be more than a few days, at most. Perhaps just tomorrow will be enough.. I can't say.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus looks a bit serious now. &quot;But it's getting late, and time for you to go to bed, missy.&quot;

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;'Kay.&quot; The hatch closes... then reopens for a moment. &quot;An' I'll brush my teeth!&quot; Ker-close.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I just came back to check in on you all and let you know we're.. alright now. But it's been very dangerous in town. I'd like you to stay put. Alright?&quot;

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">please don't cute-melt our cleric, terri. :P

Kelsey Selkirk:<font color="#000000">&quot;We won't be going anywhere until the storm clears up, anyway. You missed Jack and Stan arguing about it.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">I have situational resistance to cute. This time. D;

* Thomas Lazarus nods.

* Thomas Lazarus looks back at the hatch for a moment, distractedly.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Yes, this time.

* Thomas Lazarus speaks quietly to Kelsey. &quot;Keep a close eye on them, please. Don't let anyone get out of sight. It's a mess in town. I literally walked across a body on the way back here, and the rumors of invisible murderers have been.. ah.&quot; He looks aside uncomfortably. &quot;..not exaggerated.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;We'll take care of it. Just keep everyone aboard and in sight, alright?&quot;

Meany:<font color="#000000">Map?

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">I'm on Braxton Falls RP in imagination land.

Kelsey Selkirk:<font color="#000000">&quot;Aye. I'll be sure to tell Jack, too.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Please do.&quot; He sighs and nods gratefully.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Need to get back to the others and rest up. Be safe, ma'am.&quot;

Kelsey Selkirk:<font color="#000000">&quot;You too. Good luck.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus heads back to the inn with Edaric. Along the way, he mutters, &quot;I hate lying to folks like that.. ... ..I wonder if I'll be forced to get used to this.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;What did you lie about? The town is a mess. It's dangerous for everyone, and we did encounter a body.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus wastes little time getting back to bed. Sleep is important and time is running out, afterall. D: Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">ZzZzZzZz...

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I meant to Terri. Perhaps omission doesn't count.. or.. I don't know.&quot; He trails off. &quot;..I've just been running through my head dreading how to explain this whole thing to her. Or not explain it. And what I'll tell her parents.&quot; He groans softly. &quot;''Uhg... they sent her with us thinking this would be a fun little vacation-thing''...&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus mutters guiltily. D|

GM:<font color="#000000">Dawn of a New Day - Yondallon 9th. This is, technically, a festival day, but seeing as there are very few halflings in town to celebrate the first of the Three Feasts and given the town's situation, there's not really much more to say about that. The rain is still pouring down, and there are puddles a good two to three inches deep all over town.

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

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi awakens, dragging a poor, bedraggled ranger along with her. She sets down in the inn for the morning meal in the tavern. What's on the menu? :&gt;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">:o Food?

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Shankfang is quick to head downstairs, his belly growling for sustenance!

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Oh, hush schtomach! Hy'm about to feed hyu!&quot;

Dancing Priest Bartender:<font color="#000000">Pancakes!

Elros:<font color="#009999">Elros debates getting some more sleep, now that things are finally quiet, but figures it's morning, and he -ought- to get up.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">For once, Thomas actually sleeps late(!) ((while his player pops afk for a few shakes))

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Mmmm, pancakes.

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

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

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">... wait. Didn't I level?

Liatai:<font color="#000000">You did. Would you like to level now? :3

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Levelling up from eating pancakes. What was in that batter?

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">lulz, yes. :&gt;

* Liatai is brick'd.

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

Tathi: <font color="#ff">(( but brb, letting the puppy in ))

Elros:<font color="#009999">If you're leveling from eating pancakes, I'd be concerned. :T

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">I can't recall if I leveled or not.

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">Prolly not.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Level.. 8 now! :&gt; +1 to int, going to half-die..

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">hoo boy. skill point flood. XD

* Edaric now actually has Diehard. :O

* Thomas Lazarus is officially a true blue level 1 demonslayer now!!! &gt;:O

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">... But the level 1 powers are totally worthless so he's sort of still the same old cleric. =3=

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

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">21 HP. I feel so mighty

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

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">Lia, got a link to my sheet?

Liatai:<font color="#000000">No, I don't. I was hoping you did. ^^;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">D: Am I the only one who's still level 7 now?

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Ah! I got one!

Liatai:<font color="#000000">http://www.thetangledweb.net/forums/profiler/view_char.php?cid=45607

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Miron and Gnogglebolt are still level 7...? o3o

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Oh, at least I'm not alone.

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">Nope, no level.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Token all level'd.

Elros:<font color="#009999">I'm still level 7.

Elros:<font color="#009999">&gt;.&gt;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">The universe acknowledges height as HP. Thomas is three times bigger and tougher than Tathi. :&gt;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">*fireball'd*

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;... Hey, Sszeyl. Question for you if you've got a minute.&quot;

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

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">*blows the ash off her fingers*

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Mm, dese are goot pamcakes!&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;If I'm prying, feel free to tell me to shut up and I'll leave it alone.&quot; =3= &quot;But who were you sending a letter to last night?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Eventually, Thomas does appear again downstairs. He rubs the sleepiness from his eyes and offers the other a small wave.

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;I was sending a letter?&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Shankfang waves back, his mouth full of pamcakes.

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">Player cannot recall. :V

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;I think so.&quot; :. &quot;At least you handed the bartender something. Was it a painting?&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">M'I'unno. ^^;

You whisper to Meany: Player cannot recall, and Sszeyl cannot, either.

You whisper to Meany: But I can.

You whisper to Meany: I helped you out, little carcass. Now we're even.

* Thomas Lazarus plops into a chair near the others a bit recklessly -- it barely holds his reinforced butt. =3=

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Several stacks of pancakes later, Shankfang finally finishes stuffing his belly.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Well.. we may have found an indirect lead last night. After you all went to bed.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Hey, Tomas. Vat, may Hy ask, is dis lead?&quot;

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

Elros:<font color="#009999">&quot;Oh, a lead to the witches?&quot;

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

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Spell choosing time.. 2 new spells of fourth level or lower.. hrm hrm hrm..

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Invisible table for the invisible pamcakes?

Liatai:<font color="#000000">May I suggest Fire Shield? *brick'd and immolated*

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Fireshield added. :&gt;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Mm.&quot; He frowns. &quot;Ed and I walked across a man bleeding out in the gutter. He was emaciated down to the bone -- like he'd been starved for months. He said a hideous woman in an oilskin cloak magic'd him. Had claws, too.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;He was on his way to the ... (what was it, Dancing?) Orc at the time.&quot;

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Thirsty Orc, Dancing Priest.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Ten gold says it vas a heg.&quot;

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

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;That's a fool's bet.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi looks up, quirking a brow. Enough to make a knowledge check? :&gt;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">If you're down for suggestions, greater invisibility and polymorph are personal favorites.

Elros:<font color="#009999">&quot;If we find and kill it, I bet it'll be carrying ten gold for you.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Illusion is prohibited.. but polymorph..

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">I'm sure the Ninja would appreciate being turned into an unstoppable killing machine with a casting of either.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Hy bet ve kould score a lot more loot uff uf it ten dat.&quot;

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

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;...&quot; Thomas looks thoughtful for a moment.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&#171; &#160;1d20+8 = 10 + 8 = 18&#160; <font color="#0000FF">&#187; Knowledge, nature!

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">&#171; &#160;1d20+7 = 1 + 7 = 8&#160; <font color="#0000FF">&#187; knowledge nature!

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Yeouch. Someone's got rez sickness.

* Thomas Lazarus prods Ed's arm with a finger. &quot;Hey.&quot;

Elros:<font color="#009999">&#171; &#160;1d20+4 = 11 + 4 = 15&#160; <font color="#009999">&#187; knowlege, nature. Or assist.

RAM:<font color="#990000">Aelian: &quot;I think it's a wolf!&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Let us pay you back for the diamond dust. We can all split the cost. Or atleast reimburse you with the latest swag.&quot;

Elros:<font color="#009999">Elros ponders with Tathi.

* Edaric is prodded, pancake bite halfway to his mouth. O: ?

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Agreed.&quot;

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

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Wait, he did WHAT now?&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">Aelian peers at Edaric. &quot;You mean to tell me you fronted the cost of my revival, in entirity?&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus smirks a bit.

You whisper to Ghostwish: They say that sea hags are so horrific in appearance that merely laying eyes on a living one can strike someone with 2d6 Strength damage.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;We weren't in a very accounting-friendly mood.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;...Hy vas onder de impression ve paeed for it vith de loot from doze trolls in de butcher's schop...&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;Sorry, Ed.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;But yes, it was a painting.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi grimaces.. &quot;Thomas, if the man's description is anywhere near accurate, we have trouble. That sounds like a particular variety of hag, called the sea hag. Ever so much as looking at once can emanciate you like it did to that man.&quot;

* Edaric sets down his fork. &quot;Used those bracers Barbarus gave us for travel expenses, for part of it....&quot; ^^;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh. Nice of you.&quot; :.

* Thomas Lazarus nods to Tathi. &quot;I see.&quot;

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

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;I hate to ask, but.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider: <font color="#990000">(( Okay, hold a sec. I'm confused. ))

Elros:<font color="#009999">&quot;Hmm. But how are we supposed to fight an enemy we can't look at? Can we look through a mirror? Or some...eyewear?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;Did The Dragon attack anyone last night? ^^;&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider: <font color="#990000">(( If Edaric paid for it all, what happened to the loot from the trolls in the butcher's shop? ))

* Thomas Lazarus looks a little uncomfortable. &quot;...&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;No.&quot;

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">The troll loot is still with the party.

Shankfang the Deffrider: <font color="#990000">(( Oh. ))

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Not for long! &gt;:O *accountant'd*

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;Why you ask?&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Ed! That's nuts! That's... That's..&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Thousands of gold.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Edaric, consider yourself reimbursed with *checks*

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;The dragon claims it did me a favor, and we are now eaven.&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;What Tathi said! Let us re-imburse you!&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;...Dragon? Vat dragon?&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus rubs the bridge of his nose and sighs.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Eksposition for de nev guy, please?&quot;

* Edaric starts to protest and is apparently buried in protests and checks. My pancakes! D: *brick'd*

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi peers at Shank. &quot;Explosion? Why would you want one?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Would it be alright if we said, for right now, it would be a long and distracting story and we have very important business left in this town still?&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;No, not eksplosion. Eksposition!&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;I-it's worth it. No amount of gold is worth more than a friend's life.&quot; ^^;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Yes, explosion, I heard that.&quot;

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Oop, sacred canine duty.

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">Aelian sighs, and smiles. &quot;Allright, and you have my thanks.. but you WILL let us pay you back, or so help me, I'll tell your family about it in my thank you note!&quot; Aelian says, smirking smugly.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Eksposition! Not eksplosion! Hy em sayink eksposition, not eksplosion!&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Ex.. po.. sition? Oh, you mean explaination.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;My accent hain't dat tick!&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi giggles behind her hand. &quot;I would hope not. That means fleas.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Taddi! Now hyu're chust makink fun uf me!&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Let's see....... Ed gets 120 pp, 800 gp, a bronze mask inlaid with copper (1000gp), and a ring of protection +1 (2000gp).

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;That ought to do it.&quot; He nods resolutely.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Sorry, I couldn't help it. I met a gnome who spoke like you once.. and he had this pointy teeth. Made it quite a time to understand him.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">*these

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Much better.&quot;

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

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;But, fine. De dragon schtory kan vait. Ve hef hegs to kill!&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Now, with breakfest out of the way, and her spellbook out, let's see if Tathi can't manage orb of electricity..

* Thomas Lazarus considers. &quot;There's actually a lot of fancy-looking stuff still in here, that's sure to be magic.&quot; :.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;But that should perhaps wait.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&#171; &#160;1d20+14 = 17 + 14 = 31&#160; <font color="#0000FF">&#187; spellcraft! -5 if its necromancy or illusion, +2 if it's evocation!

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Oh yes, that nails it.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Hmmm.. oh. Liatai

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Was &quot;and a quartz crystal on a leather cord around the big ogre's neck.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;You sure you'd want to do that? You know my mother. Telling her would mean telling your folks that you died by proxy.&quot; :P

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">The hag's eye?

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Yes, it was.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Or is that some other loot?

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Anything else need IDing?

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Okay. I'll mark that off.

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;I'd risk it! Adventuring is all about taking risks!&quot; Aelian says, mock puffing up.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Nope, that's it. Well. That and the very tastily desribed potions. :B

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

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Hey, liatai, for how long did your deal of letting Tathi scribe for free last? I forget.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Divine Scroll (Shillelagh (25 gp)) (total 25 gp), Oil of Levitate (300 gp), Potion of Bull's Strength (300 gp), Potion of Cure Moderate Wounds (300 gp), Potion of Hide from Animals (50 gp), Potion of Jump (50 gp)

Liatai:<font color="#000000">17 spell levels. I'm prettty sure you've used them up. ^^;

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">rofl, holy crap, by a longshot. XD

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Hrm. I'm out of ink. I'll have to go buy some more.&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;How.. exactly does scribing a spell burn through ink so fast? And why does it require such special materials?&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;People who question wizards get turned into rats.&quot;

Kor:<font color="#0000FF">Hey! I take offense to that comment. Oh you're bribing me with pancake. All is forgiven.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;So, Hy belieff de plan vas to hunt down de rest uf de Trolls in de city, yah? Destroy hall de heg's eyah, den hunt down de hegs demselves?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">A divine scroll of shillay..sheil..sheleigh..

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Magic club. =3=

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

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;I think this hag in the city may have given us an opportunity. Just keep the hag's eye covered. They can see through it.&quot;

* Liatai adds 5K to Edaric's gold.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Mm.. I'll keep it in the pocket plane.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Oh, yah. Dat vould be very bad for us.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;I wonder what it looks like in there, anyway.&quot; :.

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;Messy.&quot; =3=

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Have you ever seen one of those really trippy 80's music videos with the bad effects and colors everywhere *bricked*

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

* Thomas Lazarus sighs lightly after sorting.

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Come on, you've got to think at some point someone's stuck their head in a bag of holding just to see if they could.&quot; =3=

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..I've a spell of frost resistance for everyone. Just in case we run into another one of 'those'. Amongst other things.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi seems suddenly overcome with giggles..

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Dat...iz an eksellent idea.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Um.. Actually.. that was a dare that used to float around the academy.&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">Aelian peeks over. &quot;Did you do it?&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus smirks a bit.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Heck no. After I saw what it did to people's hair? Not a chance.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">:O

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;...Vat deed it do to der heir?&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Can't be worse than what some people do with rings to people's hair around here.&quot; And Edaric readies an action to counterspell... :P

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;... True</small.>

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Sparks fly like crazy as a pressy-spell battle breaks out. :P

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">The size tags are picky and like to faceplant and eat lines. =3=

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

* Thomas Lazarus smiles faintly at the shenanigans.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Made them look like they were on the wrong end of a lightning bolt, that's what.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Hee, Hy kinda vant to see dat now.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;I'd do it. Where's a bag of holding?&quot; :3

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;As much as I'd love to let the mood stay light and reflect on nicer times.. there are murderers about doing their work, even now. I think I would rather us get moving on that sooner than later.&quot; His smile slowly fades to a frown.

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;... Good point. On the Cygnet. Once this is all over with.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;So... where do we go?&quot;

Elros:<font color="#009999">Elros wonders. If someone is killed, but brought back, is it still a murder? still though. &gt;.&gt;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Agreed. Schould ve try to track down dat heg?&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Right, let's see if we can track down the hag. Can't have her emanciating any more villagers.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus folds his arms. &quot;Our only leads seem to be butcher shops. Or, it could have actually just been the one. We could siphon the rumor mill some more. Or we could look around the alleys and paths near the Thirsty Orc.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Agreed. Dat chust sounds...onpleasant.&quot;

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

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;The man said his hag assailant was lurking near there.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Let's split up!

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">No, bad idea, have you never read a book. D: *brick'd*

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">What are we, hot girls in a cabin in the hills? No splitting up.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;By the way, speaking of defensive spells, I have picked up a rather nifty new lot of them. I can now conjure a shield around my allies made of living fire. It helps negate fire damage, and lashes back at anyone who lashes at it.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Shaggy and Scooby, check out the tavern. I'll take Daphne and Wilma and check out the rumor mill!

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Also, I've learned the power of polymorph.. So, if some of you would like to be something bigger and nastier, just ask.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus seems a little daunted. o_o

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Well, we are in a you-know-where. Should I make the rounds? See if anything new's popped up overnight?&quot;

Elros:<font color="#009999">&quot;Can we attack through the shield, though?&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Of course.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Chust...keep de fire avay from my gunpowder. Dat vould not be pleasant.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus nods at Ed. &quot;It might save us some time. And we're here, afterall.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+12 = 5 + 12 = 17&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; Gather Information, away!

* Edaric is going to be chatting people up for a while, carry on. :3

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Oh, yes, and I can toss balls of lightning around too.&quot; She adds in an off-comment sort of way.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;...Yah, keep doze avay from my gunpowder, too...&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;What is Polly morph?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I'm.. probably plenty big and nasty enough just the way I am, thank you. I spent an awful long time learning to use this sword well, too. I'd rather not have it replaced with a tentacle or a horn or something weird.&quot; =w=;;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;She kan turn hyu into zumddink else, right?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Tathi gains the most iconic power of witches; turning you into a *IMMOLATE*

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">o_o;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">This place keeps getting stranger and stranger...

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;It allows me to change your form into that of something else. Its only restrictions are few and far in between. Mostly it just has to be close to your own power. But if you, say, wanted the size and strength of an owlbear..&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Oh, and it will change your strengths to match. Your mind remains the same, but your body changes.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi smirks.. &quot;I think Terri would go bonkers knowing I could turn her into a dragon.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus chuckles.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Hy em heppy beink vat Hy em, tenk hyu.&quot;

Elros:<font color="#009999">Elros doesn't know whether that's a good thing, or if he should be terrified.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I suppose it might be interesting to spend an afternoon as a cat or a hawk or something.&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;Or seal.&quot; :.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;...Vy a seal?&quot;

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

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;They seem to have fun. Bird would be useful, though. Very small, very quick.&quot; :.

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

Elros:<font color="#009999">&quot;Why -not- a seal?&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Vell, fair enough.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;That's thinking with your head. Think of a form that has abilities that you do not.&quot;

Elros:<font color="#009999">&quot;...Sszeyl, is that you talking, or your brain again?&quot;

* Edaric returns to his seat, shaking his head and chuckling.

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;A bit of both, actually.&quot; :B

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I suppose it could turn the puppies into something a little more foreboding, in a pinch.&quot; :.

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;You're not going to believe what the guards are in an uproar over.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;...... Or Kor.&quot; x3

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;The racket we made last night?&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">Aelian facepalms.. &quot;Tathi..&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;We've been being looked for at Mace HQ by the city guard. There's... well.&quot; =3=

* Thomas Lazarus falls silent. =w=;;;;;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Hy em definitely gunna hef to get dat dragon schtory vunce ve're hall done here...&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus looks to Ed.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;What? Why the mace HQ?&quot;

Elros:<font color="#009999">&quot;Don't tell me the guards are going to be against us now.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Oh Hy hope not.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Seems at least one giant decided to take a break from murder and found the barrels of ale behind the Thirsty Orc.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;... Sure, Shankfang. Just ...&quot; He frowns a little. &quot;Please keep it on the down low until then.&quot;

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

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi blinks. &quot;Oh gods, you're kidding..&quot;

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

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;It's collapsed back there sound asleep in the rain and they want us to deal with it.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;I know.&quot; =3=

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Uf kourse, Tomas. Now...really? Dat iz hilarious!&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi just facepalms. Oh gods why.

Elros:<font color="#009999">&quot;...is it passed out drunk, or angry drunk?&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;The guards haven't gotten close enough to see if it's passed out or just asleep; apparently it mumbles and moves and they don't want to risk their clunky plate waking it up before backup arrives.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Dem, Hy vas hopink for angry drunk.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus raises his brows.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..That could happen any minute.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Let's go, then.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Truth. We best get down there.&quot; Tathi says, standing up.

* Thomas Lazarus stands and rolls his shoulders.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Prepare for vworpage!

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Onvard!&quot; Shankfang rises as well, ready for action!

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">I pick Tunnel 3. Tunnel 3 is always the furthest ahead and OHGOD

Teeny Rin:<font color="#FF0000">(They didn't pay their tabs, again! &gt;:3)

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">SHUT UP D: Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">We're in a hurry!

Liatai:<font color="#000000">... there is no way to make this group a pretty square. XD

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

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">The middle rank is for adorable animals.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">-- &gt;:O

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

Elros:<font color="#009999">Battle line! :U

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Ghost you ruined the square! XP

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">I did,. :&gt;

* Liatai gnaws. XP

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">I doubt the Deffbike helps any.

City Guard 1:<font color="#000000">One sodden trek later... &quot;Oh thank the Cudgel you're here. There's a --&quot;

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

Elros:<font color="#009999">&quot;We heard.&quot;

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

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Going to ask to see our papers before you let us through?&quot; Tathi adds sarcastically.

City Guard 2:<font color="#000000">&quot;It's not nighttime, of course not.&quot;

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

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..Did you get a look at it? Is it blue?&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Vell, dat's a surprise.&quot;

City Guard 1:<font color="#000000">&quot;No, inquisitor. It looks like... a fat, dirty, very wet drunk human. But as tall as a house. The Mace told us you were looking for giants with quartz crystals around their necks... I don't know gems, but there's something shining around its neck.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Klose enough for me!&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;And I'm sure the smell could be appreciated too..&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Understood. Thank you. We'll handle the ugly part.&quot;

Elros:<font color="#009999">&quot;Well, I suppose that means there's only one real way to find out, hm?&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus nods to the others.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Shankfang quickly replaces the shot he used the day before, pulling the ammunition out from his bag and placing it into his pistol's little pocket dimension.

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Is it still asleep?&quot; Listen checks, at -4 because of the rain.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&#171; &#160;1d20-2 = 3 - 2 = 1&#160; <font color="#FF0000">&#187; :.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">13

Elros:<font color="#009999">Hmm, I must not be fully awake yet. &gt;.&gt;

You whisper to Ghostwish: Tathi hears loud snoring up ahead around the corner.

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;... never mind, I hear it.&quot; ^^;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Results given.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Oh yes.. he's sound asleep. Like Aelian.&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;I don't snore!&quot; Aelian huffs indignantly.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Vell, goot for hyu. Hy don' hear a dem tink over dis rain.&quot;

Elros:<font color="#009999">&quot;Hmm, well. Perhaps we can just tie him up, and be done with this quickly.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Thomas casts a pair of spells right away. Sszeyl enjoys the benefits of XTREME CLERICAL PROTECTION. &gt;:O (+1 deflection AC, +1 enhancement AC, +1 to saves, 1/2 damage, all that kind of thing. Lasts 8 hours.)

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Hy doubt Murphy iz gunna make it dat simple...&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;We shall see. But I won't shed any tears over a murdering, marauding monster if we can't get it to behave.&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;I can try to take the eye.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus draws out his blade and shield, and walks down the alley warily.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Hy kan kover hyu from de korner, chust in kase he vakes up.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Guards, please keep an eye on my bike.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;-- wait, if you're going to try that --&quot; Swallowtail is blurred.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Staring at the Ninja does not induce a Magic Eye book illusion. *kunai'd* =3=

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Shankfang draws his pistol, and ensures it is loaded. Let's do this!

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Front line, please roll Move Silently. That's Elros, Thomas, and Swallowtail.

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+9 = 3 + 9 = 12&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Thomas?! FFFFFFFFFFFF-!

Elros:<font color="#009999">&#171; &#160;1d20+6 = 9 + 6 = 15&#160; <font color="#009999">&#187; move silently

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Hahaha, oh wow. &#171; &#160;1d20-5 = 8 - 5 = 3&#160; <font color="#FF0000">&#187;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">The snoring continues.

Elros:<font color="#009999">That's what Elros does to Tom. Just &gt;.&gt;;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">In his defense, he doesn't really look like he's trying to be all that quiet. =3=

* Thomas Lazarus stops, sizing up the creature in the distance. &quot;...&quot;

Sleeping Giant:<font color="#000000">A humongous, fat human-like figure in dirty hides is sprawled out in the alley here, amid broken barrels, puddles that consist of about half rain and half ale, and thunderous snoring.

* RAM starts his fightan muzak!

* Swallowtail whispers, &quot;Can take the eye. Would be quick. Quiet.&quot; :.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;And here I was, still expecting an ogre.. how did -that- get snuck into town?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..Well. We just need its necklace. But it's obviously a thief. And probably a murderer.&quot; He whispers.

* Thomas Lazarus glances to Swallowtail briefly.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Hy hef no problem vith killink it.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus looks back to the giant. &quot;We need to arrest it. At least.&quot;

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

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;... so who speaks Giant?&quot; Edaric whispers.

* Thomas Lazarus shakes his head.

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;Tathi?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+3 = 9 + 3 = 12&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; Knowledge Arcana check.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;He he, no.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;Got a Comprehend Languages prepared today?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;Or Tongues?&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hehe, eh, I can do the comprehending, just not the speaking to tell it it's being arrested.&quot; =3=;;;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">I just noticed comprehend languages was in my spellbook.. twice.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;No, I do not.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Tom pauses for a bit, closing his eyes. ... This job would be easier if I were a heartless zealot.

Sszeyl whispers: Hey, You.

Sszeyl whispers: Do you speak Giant, O Red?

You whisper to Meany: What is it, meat?

Vargachixeniejir:<font color="#000000">'''Giant? ... Hehe. I see. I do.'''

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Forgot to whisper. XD

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

You whisper to Meany: '''Giant? ... Hehe. I see. I do.'''

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

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;I speak Giant...under certain circumstances. =3=;&quot;

You whisper to Meany: '''But if I do this for you, then you will need to do something for me in the future. '''

* Thomas Lazarus looks to Swallowtail. &quot;Get into position. Be ready with a killing blow. I'd rather not drag this out.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Ve kould alvays chust kill it...&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus murmurs, &quot;I'm going to try something.&quot;

Sszeyl whispers: Here's the deal. I let you out and about, no spells, no violence, the minute we meet with Salishea.

* Swallowtail nods. &quot;S&#236;.&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Fun fact: You can coup de grace sleeping opponents. But not at range! =w=

* Thomas Lazarus sighs lightly.

You whisper to Meany: I hardly think you're in a position to bargain here, meat.

* Thomas Lazarus invokes a Detect Evil spell. But he waits for now. Approaching could just wake it up early.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Of course you can't. We ranged users always get shafted on those things.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">I didn't write the rules I'm just the messenger =3= *shot* hey don't they have a proverb about not doing that =3=; *shot, shot*

You whisper to Meany: '''A small favor for you, a small favor for me. Don't worry, I won't risk our necks with my favor. It's far too soon for that, anyway.'''

Sszeyl whispers: Very well.

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+9 = 1 + 9 = 10&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; Move Silently...

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

* Swallowtail clanks into Thomas. =w=;;;

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

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Dem ones. D: Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">D: Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;False start. I try again.&quot; ^^;;;;;;

Elros:<font color="#009999">... :x

Liatai:<font color="#000000">* You roll to yourself: 1d20-9 =&gt; 1 - 9 = -8

* Thomas Lazarus offers Swallowtail a pat on the shoulder. =w=;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">That was the giant's Listen check. XD

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

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+9 = 2 + 9 = 11&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; Let's try this again!

You whisper to Meany: '''Well, little carcass? What do you need me to say?'''

Shankfang the Deffrider: <font color="#990000">(( Damn, that's 4 range increments... ))

* Swallowtail draws her kukri as she steals up on the slumbering giant.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">With Swallowtail in position, Thomas creeps forward. Well. Creep being... relative. &gt;.&gt; &#171; &#160;1d20-5 = 6 - 5 = 1&#160; <font color="#FF0000">&#187;

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

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+6 = 18 + 6 = 24&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; Move silently check!

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+9 = 12 + 9 = 21&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; versus &#171;  &#160;1d20-9 = 2 - 9 = -7&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">I'm only rolling reactively. XD

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&#171; &#160;1d20+3 = 7 + 3 = 10&#160; <font color="#990000">&#187;, moving more into range.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&#171; &#160;1d20+floor((dexterity-10)/2) = 18 + floor((19 - 10) / 2) = 22&#160; <font color="#0000FF">&#187; dexterity check!

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">Thomas... shockingly doesn't wake the giant. Nor does Swallowtail as she severs the cord and takes the crystal around his neck.

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">&#171; &#160;1d20+12 = 18 + 12 = 30&#160; <font color="#0000FF">&#187; hide and &#171;  &#160;1d20+12 = 11 + 12 = 23&#160; <font color="#0000FF">&#187; move silently!

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Noise aside, the giant is now within range of Thomas Detect Evil spell. So the million dollar question remains.

Sszeyl whispers: Just a minute. My mind isn't as quick as yours for diplomacy.

* Thomas Lazarus simply holds out a gauntlet with closed eyes. &quot;...&quot;

You whisper to Dr. Hatari: Moderate evil aura.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;...&quot; His brow furrows. It's a few seconds before he does anything at all. His eyes part and give Swallowtail a hard look.

* Swallowtail turns back and holds up the crystal silently before pocketing it.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">He makes a throat-slicing finger-gesture over his neck.

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+3 = 3 + 3 = 6&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; Wisdom check...

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

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

Elros:<font color="#009999">Elros would step forward, but thinks now is an excellent time to be very quiet.

Faerie:<font color="#009999">LEEEEEROY....

* Swallowtail nods, swapping the kukri for her tessen.

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;(1d6+3d6+1)*3 = (6 + 10 + 1) * 3 = 51&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">With one elegant, sweeping motion, the giant's neck is cut from ear to ear. It didn't even wake up.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Avw, Hy vas hopink for zum more action ten dat...&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;It's rather ironic to call this the cleaner method of dealing with it.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus rubs his free hand back over his hair, sploshing rain water over his shoulders.

Faerie:<font color="#009999">&quot;You really want more action than what happened last night?&quot; &gt;.&gt;

Sszeyl whispers: Seems our deal will need to wait just a while to go into practice. Don't forget your request, mkay?

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot; I really hate this town.&quot;

Elros:<font color="#009999">&quot;You really want more action than what happened last night?&quot; &gt;.&gt;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">I'm a Half-Orc! I like fighting!

* Swallowtail holds her tessen out in the rain, whispering something in Amayan.

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

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Very efficient. Good work, Swallowtail.&quot; He approaches with a bit of a numb look.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">I never rolled giant loot. One moment. XD

Liatai:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d4+4 = 3 + 4 = 7&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">WHAT NO LOOT!? RABBLERABBLERABBLE

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">You could do what Jake would do..

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">When in doubt, realistic loot. :B

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Impressiff, if anticlimactic.&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d100 = 62&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; &#171;  &#160;1d100 = 48&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; &#171;  &#160;1d100 = 60&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Uhhhhh well. You find some like. Lint and crap in its loincloth. :B&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;That may be so. But it's going to be a long day.&quot;

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

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

Elros:<font color="#009999">&quot;Well? What of the gem?&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">In the giant's bag, you find three rocks that are about as large as the puppies, 200 feet of hempen rope, a 5-pound bag of cornmeal, a dirty gallon-sized tankard of ale, and a few other things the DM is rolling for.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..And..&quot; He sighs. &quot;..I sort of hate thinking this.. but this was really just the inevitable conclusion. The alternative was to awaken a drunken hag minion and make some.. completely meaningless overtures of diplomacy trying to get it to surrender, or leave, or...&quot; He trails off and actually looks a little bleak.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;... This was just better.&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">What no, I am not giving my players 110 GP and that's it for slaying a giant in one hit. XD

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Hey, Hy'm pretty sure ve hall agree vith hyu Tomas. No need to look so down over it.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">-50gp. Trashed encounter tax. =3= *bricked*

* Thomas Lazarus rubs the back of his neck.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Thaaaaat's better. Allow me to calculate.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;This just isn't how I'm used to doing things, is all. ... This isn't how I'm used to things being, either.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Diplomacy and peace are fine and well for those who are willing to play by the rules. Hill giants?&quot; She says, glancing at the dead giant. &quot;Not so much.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I can't wait to leave this city.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Vell, Hy vould suggest gettink used to it. Zumtimes, dis iz chust de vay tinks are.&quot;

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

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

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Gnogglebolt's the leader, too?! Oh, this is just getting better and better! D: Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Shankfang forever thought Thomas meant, &quot;GNOGGLEBOLT USUALLY HANDLES OUR BRUTAL EXECUTION ORDERS.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;...Vy vas he karryink around a rug?&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Is that.. another wand? Oh geez.&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Also about 50 gallons of ale, but I think the Thirsty Orc barkeep would get mad at you over that. :B

Shankfang the Deffrider: <font color="#990000">(( Feh, like we care about him. Guy ))

Shankfang the Deffrider: <font color="#990000">(( Guy's a jerk. ))

Liatai:<font color="#000000">A rug, he questions, but not the cabinet and workbench? :B

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Atleast the stink is muted ... a little ... in the rain.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus nods at Swallowtail. &quot;That's the third eye. Let's get these to the Mace.&quot;

* Swallowtail cleans her tessen, folds it up with a snap, and nods.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi nods, and follows.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Tell me about it. Dis guy schtinks zumddink fierce.&quot;

Faerie:<font color="#009999">...also, since when am I a mineral?

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

Faerie:<font color="#009999">(My proper first anme is &quot;Alexander&quot; :B )

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">rofl, it's a time of gem

* Thomas Lazarus looks to the guards in passing.

Faerie:<font color="#009999">:U

Faerie:<font color="#009999">First I've heard of it.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;We're reporting back at the Mace HQ. The giant is slain.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Tenks for vatchink my bike!&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Have fun with the body. Make sure you have the proper permits to move large dead corpses.&quot;

City Guard 1:<font color="#000000">&quot;... already? But -- yes sir.&quot; o.o

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">He doesn't bother elaborating. They'll take care of it.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Afk a bit.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Sacred canine duty.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Need tea... anyone got mid-session noms?

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Thomas for &quot;Can't sleep? Me neither. Damn elves.&quot;

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Edaric for &quot;NO MAH PANCAKES&quot;

RAM:<font color="#990000">Elves for &quot;Let's see if we can get arrested for disturbing the pease&quot;

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Shank for &quot;The gnome's out of the bag now&quot;

RAM:<font color="#990000">*peace

RAM:<font color="#990000">Entire party for FLAWLESS VICTORY.

RAM:<font color="#990000">Especially Swallowtail.

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Oh yes. Swallowtail for COUP-DAH-GRACE!

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Seconded. French, Italian, so exotic! :B

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Hey, Thomas! There's your cute halfling girl! You should go say hi to her!

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Seriously it's not her. I just think she's cute. =w=;

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

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">And cute in the like, teddy-bear way cute.

Tavia:<font color="#0000FF">OMG CUTE LITTLE PERSON! *pounce'd*

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">...... Would it be completely unacceptable to nom Edaric for Linken Park :B

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

Shankfang the Deffrider: <font color="#990000">(( Linken Park? Did I miss something? ))

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Nevermind, nevermind~

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Copying for later perusal. :3

Gradia Thorngage:<font color="#000000">Yet another sodden trek later... &quot;Good morning, adventurers. You may be interested to know that --&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Oh god, Talfeera is gonna get attacked by the puppies when she shows up, isn't she?

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Giant behind the Thirsty Orc, she got it.&quot; Edaric jabs a thumb toward Swallowtail.

Tavia:<font color="#0000FF">Suddenly, flying elven hound.

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;TAVIA NO- damnit.. Sorry!&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;It vas qvite impressiff.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">D: Gradia Thorngage:<font color="#000000">&quot;... I... see. Well. Well done --&quot;

Ezer:<font color="#009999">Dogs. :[

Gradia Thorngage:<font color="#000000">And then a halfling was smooshed by a dog.

Tavia:<font color="#0000FF">Hi!! You're small! Licklicklickslobber.

* Thomas Lazarus looks flatly. =3=

Gradia Thorngage:<font color="#000000">&quot;OFF! BACK! BEGONE! SHOO! THIS IS MOST IMPROPER!&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus glances back to Tathi and just raises a brow.

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">Aelian quickly reels the hound in, looking embarassed.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;How is it, again, that leash laws could possibly confuse you?&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Heh, puppy attack.&quot;

* Gradia Thorngage huffs. &quot;An excellent point. By Braxton Falls law, all animals must be leashed in public -- and for good reason!&quot; &gt;:I

* Gradia Thorngage adjusts her skirts and hunts for her glasses.

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

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi stops giggling long enough to answer. &quot;She's still alive, isn't she? And that leash would never hold a full grown hound. They can break chains, you know.&quot;

Thompson:<font color="#000000">The nearby archivist looks like he is tryng very hard not to laugh. =w=;;;;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Now dat iz impressiff.&quot;

Elros:<font color="#009999">Well, at least he's amused. &gt;.&gt;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Yes well, that's no excuse to let your puppy keep bowling over every smallfolk we cross.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus gives her a look like he knows that's the point. =3=

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;She was on the leash..&quot; Aelian says, and sheepishly holds up a... broken leash.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">I should find a way to warn Talfeera before she shows up...

Gradia Thorngage:<font color="#000000">&quot;Ugh.&quot; The halfling sneezes.

* Thomas Lazarus recomposes himself. &quot;Uhm.&quot; ^^;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;In any case.. the purpose of our visit.&quot;

Gradia Thorngage:<font color="#000000">&quot;We believe we have located the hags' den.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Auspicious timing. We've come into possession of a third eye.&quot;

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

Gradia Thorngage:<font color="#000000">&quot;Most auspicious, indeed.&quot;

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

Gradia Thorngage:<font color="#000000">&quot;The reports of several victims who were alive after their attacks last night aided us in centering our search on one area, near the walls of the town, roughly ten blocks from the Thirsty Orc.&quot;

Gradia Thorngage:<font color="#000000">&quot;I trust you all know how to swim.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Vow, dat's really klose!&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Wow. So they have honestly set up here in the city?&quot;

Gradia Thorngage:<font color="#000000">&quot;It appears that they have set up not in the city, but below it.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus freezes.

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

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi grimaces.. &quot;Oh how lovely.. the favorite locale of all adventurers..&quot;

Gradia Thorngage:<font color="#000000">&quot;Given how the drains are nigh overflowing with the recent storms, it will be a wet trek indeed.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Please tell me it's a well or catacomb or breach in the wall or --&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot; Aaauuuuuhhhhgggggg seweeeerrrrrrr =3=&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus droops.

Gradia Thorngage:<font color="#000000">&quot;Our scrying ascertained that the hags had taken possession of a dry area accessed through the sewers.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Dis iz gunna be incredibly onpleasant...&quot;

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

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

* Thomas Lazarus nods meekly.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Spilled tea on myself.

Shankfang the Deffrider: <font color="#990000">(( Owie! You okay? ))

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">BREW'D

Tathi: <font color="#ff">(( DM takes &#171; &#160;1d2 = 1&#160; <font color="#ff">&#187; tea damage! ))

* Thomas Lazarus folds his arms. &quot;... About the eyes. Should we wait to destroy them until just as we encounter the hags?&quot;

Gradia Thorngage:<font color="#000000">&quot;Destroying them when you are drawing close would be most adviseable, yes. We do not know if they possess means to heal themselves.&quot;

Gradia Thorngage:<font color="#000000">&quot;Keep them covered until then.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus nods sternly.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Roger. Vere iz de klosest sever entrance to de hegs' location?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I suppose there's nothing else to it but to get on our way and bring the fight to them.&quot;

Gradia Thorngage:<font color="#000000">&quot;Here, near the wall.&quot; The halfling indicates a spot on a map of the town. &quot;Have you need of any further supplies or clarification?&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Hy vould appreciate if hyu kould keep an eye on my Deffbike.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus considers. &quot;One of them weakened a man so badly that he could not support his own weight. Is anything else known about their capabilities we should be prepared for?&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Hy don' tink it vould be vise to take her into de sever.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus nods. =w=;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Atleast there's one thing around that is less stealthy than me.

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

Gradia Thorngage:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yes, we will watch any possessions of yours you wish not to take underground.&quot;

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

Gradia Thorngage:<font color="#000000">&quot;Beware the weakening touch of the green hag. The annis, the tallest of the hags, is the most potent melee combatant.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus nods. :.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Anything on the sea hag?&quot;

Gradia Thorngage:<font color="#000000">&quot;Its evil eye.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Hopefully our little weapon will eliminate most of the challenge.&quot;

Gradia Thorngage:<font color="#000000">&quot;Beware its gaze, as it can lay a curse upon you that can leave you dazed, or in the worst case scenario, dead. This is nullified if said hag is blinded, for example, by the destruction of a hag eye.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Hopefully, yah. Murphy hes been kind to us, let us hope he remains so.&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;Who is this Murphy? Mazian god?&quot; :.

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

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Er, kind uf. Dere iz a set uf lavs kalled Murphy's Lavs. De first und formost uf dese lavs iz 'hennyddink dat kan go vrong, vill.'&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Sounds like a philosopher after brother Miron's heart.&quot;

GM:<font color="#000000">I see some of you have light sources already. So, when you're ready, hop over to Braxton Falls - Underground!

Gradia Thorngage:<font color="#000000">&quot;Speaking of Inquisitor Steelsprocket.&quot;

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

* Thomas Lazarus looks over. He was just getting ready to leave.

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

Gradia Thorngage:<font color="#000000">&quot;Are you also on the case of the drow with the mithral armor, Inquisitor Lazarus?&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus flinches. =w=;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Yes ma'am.&quot;

Gradia Thorngage:<font color="#000000">&quot;Very well. We will prepare a packet of our findings to deliver to you upon your return to the surface.&quot;

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

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I see. That'll be greatly appreciated.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus laxly salutes. &quot;Hopefully, see you then.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;It schmells like schit down here...&quot;

Gradia Thorngage:<font color="#000000">&quot;May the Cudgel sweep your path clean. Return safely.&quot;

GM:<font color="#000000">Down into the rain-clogged sewers...

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;You don't even know.&quot; =3=

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

GM:<font color="#000000">The channel has flooded, and a good six inches of water meets your feet as you climb down.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">((Said in the sewers to Shankfang. Not to Gradia. :B))

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">At least we HOPE it's water...

Elros:<font color="#009999">... :[

Elros:<font color="#009999">&quot;Would it be bad if I took my boots off?&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Mostly water, anyway.

Ezer:<font color="#000000">Hisss! Yuck-water! D: Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Yah, yah it vould.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus sighs lightly. &quot;Keep 'em on for traction. Could be a fight around any corner.&quot;

Elros:<font color="#009999">...

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Let's get this over with.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Very, very bad.&quot; =w=;;;;

Elros:<font color="#009999">I have a cat on my head. What is this blasphemy?

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

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">I forgot a bridge. XD

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

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">lollololoo'

Elros:<font color="#009999">Well, that won't help, GM. :T

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Let's keep the eyes in the bag until we're close. ... But when we are ... someone should draw them out and smash them right away. (My hands'll definitely be full with spells and weapons.)&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">I'd play it. :B

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">I've never heard &quot;immodestly&quot; before. =w=;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;So, where's the entrance?&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">(&quot;It iz a kommon language in Mazio! De language uf de tinkerers!&quot;)

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Oh, Hy'm goot. Darkvision.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;I can make some if I need to.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I'll be alright.&quot; Tom invokes a light spell.

* Thomas Lazarus takes that moment to also recite a quick prayer. Shield of Faith for 8 minutes!

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..Guess it's time to explore the sewer.&quot; He sighs and draws out his weapon.

GM:<font color="#000000">Move as you wish. This isn't GM-Move time. :3

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Pistol out! &quot;Lock und load!&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">RIGHT. OUT IN FRONT.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">How deep does the central, uh, canal flow?

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">Aelian peers through the murk.. &quot;DOes anyone else.. see that water over there?&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Dat vater, across de vay. It looks funny...&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">10-15 feet.

Elros:<font color="#009999">&quot;Going for a swim, Sszeyl?&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus looks at the &quot;bridge&quot;.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Ack, BRB, barking dog.

* Thomas Lazarus frowns.

* Swallowtail is walking about an inch above the surface of the water.

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+5 = 18 + 5 = 23&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; Spot check!

* Thomas Lazarus hangs his head and sighs.

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">Thank you, student. :3

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

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Can you still walk on water?&quot; =3=;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Ooh, dat's impressiff.&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Gah, barking dog, one moment.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Jump distances are formulaic. But it's in the skill entry regardless.

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

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">Lia, question.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Strictly going by the rules, I'd say no. Potions are imbibed to get their effect. That kind of thing would be more for oils, or specially made grenades. But I would also rule such strict rules are dumb and reward the creative thought with success.

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">Where would I need to be to flank the horde?

Liatai:<font color="#000000">You cannot flank the horde.

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

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Water makes sense now.

* Thomas Lazarus stares at the water. &quot;A.. an alligator?&quot; O_o

You whisper to Ghostwish: Luckily the DC for an alligator or crocodile isn't that high. :B

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;A what? &gt;&gt;&quot;

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">and the player is totally not metagaming because he accidently glanced what was in the water while loading the server. &gt;&gt;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">I thought just some, I dunno, carpet or paint on the floor or something XD

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Nevermind. We'll probably see shortly.&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Spot checks.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Vant me to schoot it?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;Careful!&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;It's at least twenty feet long!&quot;

You whisper to Ghostwish: It's not moving. It's just laying in the water watching the group.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Can has ready action to shoot it if it turns hostile?

Liatai:<font color="#000000">You can.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">To his credit, he's being pretty careful. (31 AC)

Liatai:<font color="#000000">A throaty hiss sounds from the water as Thomas approaches.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;... ... ... I don't see it yet.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;It's waiting for us, looks like.&quot;

You whisper to Ghostwish: That hiss is a warning, Tathi recognizes. A &quot;back off.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;... If that's so, and it's just a beast, then I don't see much purpose in this fight.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">Full defense, moving forward.

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

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

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;But Hy vant to schoot it...&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus rolls his eyes. &quot;There are scheming hags somewhere to shoot still.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus backs up slowly.

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;You're lucky we don't have druids with us. You'd get such a talking to.&quot; =3=

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Oddly enough, I think it is just a critter of the sewers. That hiss means, to be frank, &quot;Get off my lawn.&quot;&quot;

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

* Thomas Lazarus squints west.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Oh, fine. But Hy'm schootink de nekst tink ve run into!&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Tom advances far enough to see around this next room's corner.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Please don't be so eager to shoot things. There could be live hostages down here.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;I see booze.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Most human booze doesn't explode, but let's play it safe.&quot; =3=

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Vell, Hy'm obviously not gunna schoot dem. Chust because Hy'm a Helf-Orc doesn' mean Hy'm schtupeed.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;...Why doesn't human booze explode? o-O&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Another turn. Same deal as before.

Sszeyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;Is it watered down?&quot;

Ogre 5:<font color="#000000">As you poke your head around the corner, you hear a startled roar.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;More or less. The proof is rarely high enough. Some of it will burn. It's generally only the stronger dwarven and elven drinks that are.. you know. Bombs.&quot; &gt;.&gt;

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

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Crap nuggets..&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Just a +1 morale to attack rolls, fear saving throws, and some HP buffer.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">No, it's a standard attack roll, like any ranged weapon.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">No clue. We've never really established any special firearms rules.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Though you do gain the benefit of Point Blank Shot.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">3.5 generally doesn't provide them so it rarely comes up.

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

Sszeyl: <font color="#0">(( Should I bother trying to get into melee range of these monsters? ))

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Perhaps after Thomas tanks their attention. Or you could probably just plink. They seem unlikely to have very high HP.
