Ghostwish has connected.

Meany:Ahoy.

Meany:Sorry, but haven't found the trolling yet, Lia.

Liatai:Giant Sam on the world map, I see. :B

Liatai:And a spirit fox. x3

Miacherry::D Cousin! Hi! How's the ol' six armed guy?

Meany:Oh my golly goshness.

Meany:He didn't even troll Mirontoken.

Meany:Ghost, are you okay?

Meany:Do you need the

Meany:Doktor?*

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">crap, no owndership. XD

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Try now?

Spirit Fox:<font color="#0000FF">Yay!

Spirit Fox:<font color="#0000FF">He's derpy, as usual. Reality that, dimensions this. Booooooring.

Spirit Fox:<font color="#0000FF">But I found a ball that tastes like bacon!

Miacherry:<font color="#000000">I know, right? -- Ooooooooooh! :O Baconball!

Miacherry:<font color="#000000">Bacon bacon bacon~ 83

Spirit Fox:<font color="#0000FF">Baaaaalllllllllllllll!

Miacherry:<font color="#000000">Bacon, plus ball, equals -- how do you get more awesome?! 8D

Spirit Fox:<font color="#0000FF">I dunno! But it's awesome! L

Spirit Fox:<font color="#0000FF">:3

Miacherry:<font color="#000000">Only if it was a bacon-wrapped steak ball! 8D

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">You have forgotten.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">That the baconball is now also an aniseball.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">I'm not sure if anise works the same way on vulpines as it does on dogs.

* Liatai googles!

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">LIATAI! *pounces!*

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Tataeari? :3

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">I can scan in the... six or so I've drawn so far. Gimme a few shakes.

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">... a few more shakes, I need to Windex my scanner something fierce.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Hughesnet, you fail. =3=;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Ghostwish: Yay! Liatai: ... a few more shakes, I need to Windex my scanner something fierce.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Liatai is disconnected. Meany: Oh noes. Liatai has connected.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">All you missed.

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">http://i581.photobucket.com/albums/ss260/Liatai/Tateari1.jpg

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Adorable!! :3

Liatai:<font color="#000000">The three female Tateari in that are all based on Akellon NPCs. Bonus points if you guess which ones. :B

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">... the top left one worries me. XP

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

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Nope, no Swallowtail Tateari in this batch.

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">No, she's gotta be bottom left. Oh!?

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">That one in the middle looks Ashmoreish. XD

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Allright, far right, middle? Letheriss. :3

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">*lethiriss. I was close!

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Here's a hint that may help. The top left one was a character that I mentioned was hard to Tatearize because it was hard to make her enthusiasm not scary. :B

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Yep, that one's Lethiriss. x3

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">BWAHAHA. The drunken master! What's her name. XP OR! Possibly, Terri?

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">(allready spotted Edaric. XD)

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Nope! Terri -is- on this page, but she's not at top let.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">The middle one looks sad.

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">No, wait, bottom left has to be - yup

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Yeah, poor Ed ended up wall-eyed. I might try him again later.

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">The bottom one. XD

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">That one is likely the commander. And because of that, a lifer in the military. He's had a rough life.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">You know what, Ghost.

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">He also does look older.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Yay, managed to pull that off. :D

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">You should play him like he's Avery Johnson. 82 years old, a normal front line soldier, and the baddest motherfluffer that there ever was.

Meany:<b><font color="#A14D7F">Am I right, Marines?!

</b>Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">LULZ

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Still no right guess for the enthusiastic one? x3

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Miacherry.

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Oh! The drunken master. :3

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Ding ding ding to Meany! :D

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

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">I has miacherry Tateari? Oh lulz. XD

Liatai:<font color="#000000">An Anise Tateari would be amusing, I may have to try that one.

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Pocki. :3

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

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">No, pocki. :3

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">It's basically the pineapple of Klara.

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">And Tateari get -hella- drunk off it.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">And it's hallucinagenic.

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">By Railock's ruling, yes. :\

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Bweeheehee... but would they allow a fruithead to serve on a military ship? :B

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Well it is silicon based.

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Oh sure. :3

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Ram's lucky it wasn't acidic.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">A Swallowtail Tateari would be... interesting.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">I kind of like the top left guy. I figured he was a little older, a little higher-ranking, and apt to jump a little at loud noises after the incident that seared a hole in his ear.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Top right, sorry.

* Liatai derps.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">He's adorable.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Q's going to have so much fun tormenting him. :3

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

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Yo.

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">I'm trying to figure who the top right guy is.. hmmm. Tharky!?

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Top right guy and center guy weren't based on anyone.

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

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">What's up with his markings? :o

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Speckles?

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

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Yup. Spots are part of the Tateari markings. :3

Liatai:<font color="#000000">I figured I hadn't drawn any spotted Tateari yet. Wondered if that was possible. It turned out cute. :B

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Anytime someone draws Tateari? Full artisitic license on markings. Tateari have been mixing and matching markings for so long they've got a rainbow assortment of em. :3

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Not to mention their genetic enchancements would feasibly allow them to alter their markings.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">I've been trying to keep them symmetrical so far, but that may change.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">enhancements*

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Don't have to be symmetrical. Half-mask Tateari? Yup. :3

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Half-masks are bad luck. :V

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">*shot*

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Naaaw. Tateari rarely, if ever, alter their bodies in the physical appearence scenario.

* Liatai scribbles down, &quot;Tateari Phantom of the Opera. MAKE IT SO.&quot; *brick'd*

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Except.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">It's all gender bent.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Since Tasher is the womanly one.

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Jewelry peircings? Nope.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">And Miala is more manly than half the PCs.

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Breast enhancements? GTFO.

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">I have not yet seen any Tateari actually played, mind. :B

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Truly. They're kind of purists when it comes to their bodies. ;) Something that's been hammered into them by their overbearing internal chemistry.

* Meany shrugs.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">When Q's cloning industry is enough to start mix-matching a Tateari Moreau, I wonder how they'll react.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;GET THE ORBITAL GUNS ONLINE.&quot;

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">*rofl* Yeah.. Tasher, despite many of his masculine qualities, is often needled for being womanly, cuz he's slim and light and stuff. :p

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">And passive.

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Mialla's been rather stand-offish, as she's been literally dumped into the middle of HUMANZ.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Oh god the passivity.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">So no Tateari tattoos? Gotcha. Also, are markings restricted to the face, or can they extend to other parts of the body? I felt like I was pushing it a bit to put markings on the ears, but they looked so bare otherwise.

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">I've.. always held that Tattoos are impossible when fur is involved? But fur painting? Oh hell yes. Especially during festivels. Rainbow furries!

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">The trick is to tattoo where the fur is shortest.

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Oh! Lemme check my notes, but off the top of my head: Face, back of ears, lower and upper back, and sometimes limbs as well, but rarely hands or feet.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Any neck markings?

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Not terribly often, but it is possible. Front is almost always the same soft-white of the front of the torso though

Liatai:<font color="#000000">'Kay, groovy.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">.... I'm saying &quot;groovy&quot; a lot lately. :. *brick'd*

* Meany gives Liatai an afro wig.

* Ghostwish dons shades, hands Meany an affro. &quot;It's coo, sistah.&quot;

* Meany dons affro.

* Ghostwish groove-walks away.

* Meany groove-walks up walls.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Heh. This is good to know, though. Tabby Tateari, away -- *brick'd* :B

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">oh god.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Boogie Spiderman.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">And Disco Drow.

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Rhy? *brick'd*

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Does the tail ever get any markings? A black tip, or a stripe, etc.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Rhy doesn't have the groove.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">.... must resist urge to make Pepe le Pew Tateari... &gt;:d *brick'd*

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Now, the tip is always that bushy white. It's like a beacon marker. But it's not always solid white, no. And yes, sometimes Tateari have marked tails. :3

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Mon chere~

</i>Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Huah huah huah! Silly humans.&quot; And.. oh gods he'll be covert ops.

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Cloak, and dagger..

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">With a face mask. XP

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">And then he develops a taste for human suits.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">No.

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;SPAI.&quot;

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Nononono.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Face makeup.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Why...so...serious?&quot;

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Allright! Best buffing choices for a level 4 cleric? ;3

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">As in magic items, or spells?

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Spells. :3

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">At least he'll have 2nd level spells by then. :B

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Can't go wrong with Bless.

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

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Divine Favor.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">The Protection From X spell.

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

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Allready, hughesnet? -.-

Liatai:<font color="#000000">At least there's no lag.

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Railock! :) http://i581.photobucket.com/albums/ss260/Liatai/Tateari1.jpg

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Guess who is who. :3

Railock:<font color="#000000">I got told who the middle is

Railock:<font color="#000000">top left...crazy open face...shankfang? heh. bottom left...terri? don't know other three

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Bottom left is Terri, yes. x3

Liatai:<font color="#000000">The speckled one isn't based on any particular character. And I'm not surprised re: bottom right; it's an NPC Gamal hasn't met yet.

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Okay, the middle right he hasn't met yet. That's Lethiriss. :3

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

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">But c'mon. Who's that cool, easy-going one on the middle left? :3

Railock:<font color="#000000">dont know

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">So. Since VAE didn't leave a time frame, how long are we delaying?

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Well, face it, we only have 3 right now. :\

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Until... 4 or 4:30, I'd say.

Railock:<font color="#000000">at a min till 1 mroe gets on

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">I know that, Ghostly.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Doktor inbound? :.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Honestly, I'm willing to hold out until another person hops on, but I don't know about you guys. x3

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">I'm all for the 4-player minimum rule. :3

Primera:<font color="#A14D7F">Imma macro this guy up in the meantime.

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">OH. Forgot to move Dorf! *checks sailing ship speed again*

You whisper to Ghostwish: Cool easygoing one? I'm cool? :D Yessss! *fistpump of joy* (( :B ))

Ghostwish whispers: Spoony bard. :P

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">48 miles. :3

Liatai:<font color="#000000">I'm honestly surprised top left's identity didn't leap out at people. XD

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Well, that is a new character. :3

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Not for people who've been to Filler Fair. :B

Liatai:<font color="#000000">I am surprised, too, at how quickly Lethiriss jumped out at people. Was the black hair a dead giveaway? :B

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">No, actually, it was just its finely groomed state that yelled stately snakeblood at me. :3

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">She looks kinda motherly too.

Railock:<font color="#000000">So..whats the full list of all of em?

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Top left is Miacherry. Middle left is Edaric. :3

Railock:<font color="#000000">top right?

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Oh, not an akellon NPC.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Top left - Miacherry. Middle left - Edaric. Bottom left - Terri. Middle - no one. Top right - no one. Bottom right - Lethiriss.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Top right just came from &quot;I need to alter the expressions a little. Hmm. And these Tateari have rather complete ears for being military. And hmmm, I haven't put spots on a Tateari yet.&quot; :B

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Well.. they could easily restore lost limbs and damaged ears.. but I'm going with he kept that as a momento. :3

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Really I just wanted to play with ear position a little. :B *brick'd*

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">They all look great!

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Now color them. *BRICK'D*

Liatai:<font color="#000000">No! XP

Liatai:<font color="#000000">I still have 24 to go! *brick'd*

Railock:<font color="#000000">why not color?

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Seriously I've already got ideas for at least seven more. XD

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">I am silly. New macro: Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">New day!! Tathi casts detect scrying! Move that Dorf. :3

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Brb, gotta go drive grandma back home.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">I can't really venture a guess for the upper left. No Akellon character springs to mind that might have an attitude quite like that.

VAE:<font color="#000000">it's like.. .how physically tired i am is not really a function of how long I sleep, except for extremes. How clearheaded I am is.

VAE:<font color="#000000">now i got clear head, but lack of ability to use it. After sleeping it's usuallyt the opposite

VAE:<font color="#000000">naps are a way around it

VAE:<font color="#000000">and now, see y'al

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">You want scary? Grunts on Legendary. They're basically similar to Heroic, but more of them.

GM:<font color="#000000">Right then! Time for character questions.

GM:<font color="#000000">.... what's today's date again? =3=;;;

GM:<font color="#000000">May 26th. :B

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

GM:<font color="#000000">&quot;From the point of view of someone close to your character, what is his greatest strength?&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Phew, an easy one. Her will. Her mind is a very close second, but Tathi is just.. driven. It's inspiring.&quot;

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

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;No fair. Aelian's got so many good qualities, it's hard to pick one out to be the best. But, I guess, overall, it would be his persistence.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Here, I'll do one for Tathi.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">My prospective character would say, his lightness and light armour. That's because the &quot;close person&quot; is his horse, who appreciates that it only counts as a light load for him and basically means that the pair is insanely mobile. (Oh, can I participate in these?)

Edaric:<font color="#000000">Ael? I'd say his ability to keep his cool, even in a crisis. Superpowered potential father-in-laws notwithstanding.

* Thomas Lazarus steeples fingers.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">If you say fireball-...

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">I would say..

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Sure sure. x3

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

* Tathi fireballs!!!!

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

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">|D *immolated*

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;My skill with my blades&quot;

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Apart from that, I'll spectate away - and try to answer rules questions, if anyone needs it.

* Dr. Hatari eats pre-emptive aspirin.

GM:<font color="#000000">&quot;Has your character ever been arrested? For what? Did he deserve it? Does he feel that he deserved it?&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">Does Braxton Falls count? That place was like a prison. :| *brick'd*

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

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">^^;;;;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">In, out, over, under, through. Professional hazard.

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Not once. Now as for Tathi-OHSHITFIREBALL&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Noooo~ not really. Not unless you count almost. Then fifty times in Braxton, yes. =w=;

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">The Tribes don't really have police as such... there was the odd incident where he got caught stealing something, but since he was still fairly young the response was to tell him to improve and not get caught next time. Property up there is... dynamic.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">=3=

GM:<font color="#000000">&quot;If someone asked your character what the most important rule to live by was, how would she answer?&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Freedom. Without question.&quot;

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

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

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">Hippie!

* Edaric starts playing &quot;Always Look on the Bright Side of Life.&quot; :B *brick'd*

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Stand off, and force others to come to you on your terms.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Never do anything you wouldn't be proud to say you did in public.&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Do not regret anything, for at one point in your life, it was exactly what you wanted. |3&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">It is good to have honor, but it is worse to be dead.

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;In all the days of your life, in all the works you make, be at peace.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">... Rules are bad to live by. Guidelines - those are safer. You should proceed through life with an open mind and a learning attitude, and adapt to changes like water.

Thomas Lazarus: <font color="#FF0000">Eyllisearisethek? :9

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Getting better. :3

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">For the audience, Tathi has a very thick, elven last name. It's been a running gag to challenge non-elven speakers to try and pronounce it.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Gotcha.

GM:<font color="#000000">&quot;Is your character a follower, a rebel, or a leader?&quot;

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

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">.... ((Follower.))

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

Edaric:<font color="#000000">Eh... depends on circumstances. :3

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;I read an Elven novel once. Gloomy people with incomprehensible names did nothing for one hundred and forty three years, and then someone's aunt died.&quot;

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">(adapted from a joke about Russian novels)

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">:B

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">And the answer there... probably follower. (Cha 6 ;)

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;I...honestly do not now.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">... Can we answer with what we want to be? =w=;;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Buh. That had to be a high/gold elf novel. Wood elves always write militaristic stories, and wild elves tend to do pornagraphies.&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Rebel. :3&quot;

GM:<font color="#000000">Sure, Tom.

Primera:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Follower.&quot;

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

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Snow elves do high fantasy.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Drow do drama.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">More like dramatic military pornographies.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Aquatic elves do science fictions.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">What the fuc-

Tathi: <font color="#ff">(( *bricks meany* XD ))

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Are you a bad enough dude to kill the president?

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">:B

GM:<font color="#000000">While I search for the next one... Does your character read for pleasure? What genres does he or she enjoy?

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Books?

* Tathi looks up from her spellbook. &quot;Huh?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Puzzling. Are 'demons' a genre? {|3

Primera:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Oh yes. I do not mind the genre at all, reading is in and of itself enjoyable.&quot;

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

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">... I will admit. A guilty pleasure.

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Mystery and horror genres.&quot; :3

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Ha. I tend to read stories and documenteries concerning archery and elven lifestyles. Some are rather.. explict.. &gt;&gt;;&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">I do sometimes enjoy mysteries and spy novels.

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">The spy novels tend to be so silly.

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Historical accounts.&quot;

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Behter's too likely to be practicing shots from tbe back of a cantering horse at 1600 yards...

Edaric:<font color="#000000">... usually I like listening to stories better than reading them off a page. ^^;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">But I'm not one to turn down a good adventure story. :3

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">(At that range, his attack is -6, granted, but he can still occasionally hit a stationary target - not bad for shooting something a mile away...)

GM:<i><font color="#000000">This

GM:<font color="#000000">&quot;Who is the craziest person your character has ever known, and what was their relationship like?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Trofim.&quot;

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

* Edaric surreptitiously points at Tathi.

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;I respected him, but couldn't grow to like him.&quot;

* Edaric flees!

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Back before our unpleasantness, my brother and I got along famously. :3&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">... where do I begin.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">There was this guy called Temujin... he's still around, not sure what he's doing. Was my brother, actually, but we went our separate ways. He's got this grandiose dream... probably won't work.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">I must meditate on this for a moment. And sort through the myriad 'pretty crazy' people I have known to determine a clear winner. *brick'd*

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">(Anyone get the historical in joke?)

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Oh, by and far, my uncle. That is one very bizarre wood elf. But, I love him. He's my uncle, even if he can be a bit embarassing at times.&quot;

Primera:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;A pack of Largizans. Their insanity was...grating. Then they suddenly were a lot less insane.&quot;

Primera:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;If you catch my meaning.&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Uh, am I sleeping outside if I say my lover?&quot;

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

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;... right, Ed's completely bonkers.&quot; :3

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Not cool, man!&quot; DX

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Behter was the name of one of the brothers of Temujin... AKA Genghis Khan.

* Thomas Lazarus assumes zen pose. =3=

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

* Meany starts a game of catch the Vae.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Liatai! Incoming!

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Of course, elves... you've got about a century to go before he really starts rocking.

* Meany throws the Vae to her.

* Liatai catches the lynx and places the lynx in a comfy basket.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">I think he's doing some kind of misguided power nap. :P

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">No way he can nap enough for Akellon in half an hour. :p

GM:<font color="#000000">&quot;Is your character a dreamer, or are his feet firmly planted on the ground?&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">Dreamer, definitely.

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Mixed. :3&quot;

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

Primera:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Also mixed.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;A little of column a, a little of column b. I dream about my plans, but I plan for my dreams.&quot;

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

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Fairly firmly planted. Comes of the lifestyle. If you're thinking about other things, you're not going to eat.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">... Both? I have my dreams and fantasies still.

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;I would say grounded, but my occupation requires some delving into the dreamer category. So mixed.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">... But the gravity of my duty does not allow me to live imaginary ideals. I have to be a realist. For the public good. People could die if I dared to act on, &quot;Oh, it'll probably be fine. Let's just go do this~&quot;

GM:<font color="#000000">&quot;What is your character's view on privacy -- hers and others'?&quot;

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

* Thomas Lazarus dons reading glasses. =3=

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

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Elf. 'Nuff said.&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Sometimes, I wish Tathi wasn't such an elf.&quot; He says and quickly ducks behind Thomas. :3

Edaric:<font color="#000000">I've got nothing to hide. :3 Though hey, people want their secrets, that's their business. I'm not about to go snooping for the sake of snooping.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">If you want it, you can go and get it - or just stay out of the way. If I want it, I'll go and get it.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;The desert is vast, and you can see far...but everyone should have their own tent, so they can be alone and keep their secrets to themselves.&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;I have a bit of privacy, despite the tribal lifestyle. If you have some too, that's cool.&quot;

Primera:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;I have demons, and so do other people. Learn to leave well enough alone.&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">... Swallowtail has something of a double standard working here. She's a very private person, but she... doesn't respect others' privacy much. At all. Snooping comes with the ninja terrain. It's gotten her in trouble.

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;I am private only on matters that qualify as state secrets, or I am asked not to share.&quot;

GM:<font color="#000000">&quot;Did your character have any heroes as a child?&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;The Chief's brother back home. :3 A prankster king.'

Primera:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;My lord.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Oh, shoot, look in the archives and pull any number of elven wizards. Especially the evocationists!&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;No.&quot;

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">More or less any adult skilled enough. Tailed off as he started to achieve the same level of skill with the bow.

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;I'd have to name the great archers of legend.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">Oh yeah. Old Curtis. He was a mute lute player for a travelling band. Couldn't string two words together... but put a lute in his hands, and he didn't need to talk. :3 I've always wanted to live up to that with my own music.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Sort of a simple question when your father is this famous retired knight adventurer. :3

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">My masters, and parents.

GM:<font color="#000000">&quot;If your character were to paint the inside of his house, what color scheme would he use?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Paint a house? =3=

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">...what's paint? (Yurts are... sort of leather coloured...)

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Tents are at best, dyed&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Paint? Pshaw. Natural wood is the way to go.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;A different colour scheme for each room, depending on the mood of what visitors there should carry with them.&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Earthen tones, with the occasional splash of blue and purple.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">Probably... greens and blues. :3 Definitely lots of windows, though.

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Darker shades. :3 Anything that has had black added to it.&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">Different color scheme for each room. Makes it harder for intruders to camouflage themselves. :B

Primera:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Black and green.&quot;

* Sszeyl high fives Swallowtail. =3=

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">Otherwise... whites, sandy colors, maybe some pale blues.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Whatever color the walls were to begin with. I can't paint. And I'm definitely not going to pay someone to paint my house. Not unless it's harlequin colors or something. =3=

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Shall we continue to wait, or proceed? :o

GM:<font color="#000000">&quot;Someone cuts off your character in traffic, or grabs the last of something your character wants to purchase before he can pick it up. How does he respond?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Nyoro~n. {:3

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;I have time to wait for resupply. :3&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Nothing to see here. =3=

Edaric:<font color="#000000">Hey! ... aw. {:3 Maybe next time.

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Seven hundred year lifespan, no need to eat, drink, or trance.&quot;

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Follow him and steal it. As for being cut off in traffic, probably be disgruntled that I didn't notice him. Horse archer... have to be used to keeping track of a whole Aravt or Zuut.

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

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Yes.&quot;

Primera:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Yes.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">As long as they're not the eating-you kind of surprise, yes. :B

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Mixed.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Depends on the surprise.&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">To surprise others? Yes. Being surprised? No. Tends not to end well.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">If he should have seen it, it's a failure of planning. Otherwise... still disgruntled. You can't plan for them.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Good surprises? Yes. Ogres blind-siding you with a cone of cold? Not so much.&quot;

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

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Welllll.. I guess. Although all the surprises I've gotten in the past two months have been bad. =w=;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Oh except for Terri being a dragon.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">That was pretty boss. =3=

GM:<font color="#000000">Last one, unless anyone's got one they're dying to share. &quot;How does your character greet others?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;A nod of acknowledgment.&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">I tend not to. I let others do the greeting. Otherwise, it depends on the context.

Primera:<i><font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Hola~&quot;

GM:<font color="#000000">A short scrying conversation was held with a drow wizard that most of the party knows well. Shortly afterward, the pink... fox... pixie thing that was hanging around Tathi's home departed.

GM:<font color="#000000">Birds are singing, the sky is clear, the weather is crisp, and the leaves are brilliant orange, yellow, and red.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Sorry, Tathi. This isn't Cold War. We're just not interesting enough for three+ crazy enemies to be scrying on us around the clock. *brick'd*

Maxissoren:<font color="#000000">&quot;Onward to Castleton, then?&quot; :3

Maxissoren:<font color="#000000">&quot;We'll have to land a few miles out of town.&quot;

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

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Certainly. Did you have any interesting dreams, sleeping in this fey wood?&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;And speaking of which, I hope the fey left you in peace.&quot;

Maxissoren:<font color="#000000">&quot;Aside from this bizarre dream of a flying pink thing in mithral chainmail...&quot; |3

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Well. We all had that one.&quot; |3

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Pretty sure that wasn't a dream, Max.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Any fey that could mess with max..is probably powerful enough they arent in this world&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">She smirks. &quot;Oh well. I'm ready when you are!&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Mess with him? No. Prank him? You bet your swords.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus pats Max's shoulder before climbing aboard.

Maxissoren:<font color="#000000">&quot;I'm honestly just glad my whiskers weren't tied in bows.&quot; x3

* Thomas Lazarus seems to muse for a moment before looking to Tathi. &quot;... Do you know a lot about fey creatures?&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">The Elf Crew climbs aboard. Tathi glances over at Thomas. &quot;Quite a bit. Both from my knowledge, and our culture, overall.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Do they have a sense of self-preservation, like mortal animals?&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Yes, although.. it is muddled somewhat. If their home, their forest or all of nature is threatened? They can be extremely zealous in its protection. Suicidal, almost.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Hmmm.. thank you.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Then lets not threaten it. No point in making enemies we don't need.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">She quirks an eyebrow. &quot;Any reasonf for the question?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;No, perish the thought. I was only wondering. I don't know 'real' fey very well. I've only heard this and that little story.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I had sort of wondered if the little spiteful ones might have tried to play cruel pranks on someone like Max. Like hornets, or something. I dunno. Just a random thought.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Definitely unseelie.&quot; Tathi says with a smile.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I'm unfamiliar.&quot; :.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Ah, fey are divided into two, large, groups, for the most part. Seelie and Unseelie. To put it simply, seelie are good, and unseelie? Not so much.&quot;

* Maxissoren stretches, swishing his tail from side to side. &quot;Hornets would have a hard time getting through my scales, unless they were somehow magic-enhanced hornets, anyhow.&quot; |3

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">There are, of course, three kinds of Fae. The Sidhe, who are broadly encouraging, the Unsidhe, which are broadly jerks, and the Banesidhe, who are all terrible singers.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">@_@

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I'll keep that in mind.&quot;

* Maxissoren flaps his wings, rising into the sky.

Tharky:<font color="#000000">&quot;Who in their right minds would enchant hornets, anyway?&quot;

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;Unseelie fey, 'parently.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Well said, Terri.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Well. Believe it or not, they already exist. And the answer is Baatezu.&quot;

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;Wha -- really?!&quot; D8

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;That is pure evil!&quot; D8

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">I live.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Mm-hmm. Horrible creatures engineered by the denizens of Hell. I would rather not elaborate on the details. Suffice to say, you're quite right, miss Terri.&quot;

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hornets are bad enough as is!&quot; D8

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;What's a hornet? =3=&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;A small, aggressive insect. It flies around. They live in hives.. can produce a painful, mildly toxic sting.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Ooh. :o&quot;

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;At least bees make honey.&quot; :\

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hornets are just mean.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;So, how many prestidigitations do you reckon are waiting for us when we open the door to HQ?&quot; :3

* Thomas Lazarus adopts his usual clinging-to-a-spine stance and hums as the air tussles his hair and coat about. {|3

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Depends on if we announce our arrival.&quot; {|3

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Why would there be prestidigitations awaiting our arrival?&quot;

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

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;He's been a complete pest ever since he got that silly magic ring..&quot; &gt;|3

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Going to hit the HQ with a little dispel magic on our return trip.&quot; &gt;:)

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Who's Barbarus? &quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Oh..? I thought you had heard before.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Catfolk.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Left behind to aclimate himself to loosing an eye and an arm shortly before we left.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;He's a catfolk we've adventured with before. He sat out of this journey due to some recent injuries. He's a pretty.. wiley guy.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Sort of the opposite of you, really.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;If I have, I appologize...It's been quite a more interesteing way to travel then I'm used to, and watchign the scenery may of caused other thigns to slip my mind.&quot;

Maxissoren:<font color="#000000">The city appears on the horizon almost as soon as you clear the tree line. &quot;So! Terri, Tharky, and I are going to go check in at home when we get into the city. You're welcome to come along if you like, but you may have other things to do, from the sound of it.&quot; :3

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Wiley?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;It's fine. No doubt you'll be bombarded with more names and places and events you're unfamiliar with before even this day is over.&quot;

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">I think it's &quot;wily&quot;.

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;I'll be by later, or tomorrow to visit and shop. :3&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;It's time to see if I can't get a hamlet going. Maybe then I can apply to the local Akellon royalty for township.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;That's the politest way I could think to describe it, yes.&quot; :B

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Tathi, you should have done that in Lorellon, they have big offices for just that. :o&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">No, I meant Wiley. He's always making those darn robot masters. *brick'd*

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;I got price listings for establishing hamlets, and the expected taxes.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Though they ask you purchase a baronet title with your hamlet.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Noble things.&quot; =3=

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">That's still &quot;Wily&quot;

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Albert W. Wily, OBE, Ph.D., in fact.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Can't do it before it's done, Sszeyl.&quot;

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

Maxissoren:<font color="#000000">A few miles outside of town, as promised, Max touches down among the trees on the edge of a road.

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Thanks for the ferryman service, Max. :3&quot;

Max:<font color="#000000">&quot;You're welcome. Beats a month on a boat, eh?&quot; The dragon, now human-formed and shedding his harness, chuckles.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">The party arranges into a giant Tetris block.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Mah tokenz.. :O

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

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">What map should I be looking at?

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Oh. =3=

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Thought the map had been switched and you hadn't pasted us.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">=3=

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;It most certainly does. Thank you very much, Max.&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">We'll be switching to Vigilant Guardian HQ in a bit.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Okay.

Max:<font color="#000000">&quot;Everyone got everything they came from Resca with?&quot; :3

* Thomas Lazarus shoulders his gear and walks towards the gates. &quot;Let's see..&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Yep.&quot;

Max:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh, yes. And thank you for taking care of my baby sister on the way out west.&quot; :3 Hair-scruff.

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;Heeeeey, I'm not a baby.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Really, she was an absolute doll. It was fun having her along!&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;It was a pleasure to have her along. Perhaps we could do it again in the future. ..You know.. now that we finally know she's not going to be in mortal peril at every turn like a human child.&quot; &gt;:3

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;And perhaps she'll start her own adventure group in town, now that she's had some. =3=&quot;

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yeah! It was real fun!&quot; :D

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;Aw... but why would I start another one?&quot; &gt;: &quot;I'm a Guardian!&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Yes, but you have the makings of a squad leader.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;And a squad always works best if the leader recruits them.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">:3

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

* Max chuckles.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;M'ah. ... I suppose first we should check in on the old HQ, to see Barbarus. Let him know we're back, drop off our extra things.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Then check on the construction site.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;After that, would you mind reporting to the Mace hostel with me, Sszeyl?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;See if Gnogglebolt even gave us enough space. :P&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;And sure.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I imagine we all have plenty of little errands here and there.&quot;

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Le mapswitch? :3

Max:<font color="#000000">&quot;Austrat karif, vethithurirli.&quot; Max and Terri wave, and Tharky nods, before the draconic group heads off into the city crowds.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">=3=

* Thomas Lazarus returns the wave, assuming that was draconic for bye. :B

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">IMMA SPEEKIN' DRAKONIK

Liatai:<font color="#000000">What the -- Fazshmere? XD

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;New guy gets the door first.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd whispers: that means in draconic?

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Why should I get the door first?&quot;

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

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Don't get the door.&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">For the draconic speakers, &quot;fly far, my friends.&quot; :B

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot; Shankfang should - he has a sense of humor - but he's afk.&quot; *BRICK'D*

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Well, how about Elros, then? =3=&quot;

* Gnogglebolt seems to be somewhat spaced out... and then he makes a hurried excuse and heads off into the city. &quot;Must check on the new construction -- go on without me!&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Who?&quot; =3=

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Ta.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi wrinkles her nose, peering at the house carefully.. and she casts detect magic. :3

* Elros follows Gnogglebolt.

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">Lots.

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">Mostly magic items.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Yuuup. Not it.&quot;

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

* Thomas Lazarus knocks on the HQ door.

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh come on, this is silly.&quot; :P

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Why are we afraid of opening our own door?&quot; :B

* Edaric goes to back up Thomas.

Primera:<font color="#A14D7F">The door is opened to reveal...a very tall, very broad black catfolk.

Primera:<i><font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Hola~&quot;

</i>* Thomas Lazarus tenses his left hand a few times, rolls the gauntlet's wrist.

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

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;...Oh.&quot; He blinks a few times, smiling awkwardly at the large stranger.

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

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Oh, hello! Who are you?&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;The reluctance to opens ones own door does disturb me...&quot;

Primera:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;You are the...&quot; He puts a hand on his chin and squints at the party.

Primera:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Other Guardians, si?&quot;

Primera:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;I am el Primera. :3&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Yes indeed.&quot; He leans his head around and raises his brows at all the new faces.

Primera:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Come in, and have some creamed ice.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Ahh yes. Barbarus mentioned you. Pleased to meet face to face.&quot;

Tavia:<font color="#0000FF">Oh my god new people! :O

Arato:<font color="#A14D7F">:OP

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;Buon giorno, Dartani.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh wow! Barbarus wasn't kidding!&quot; :3

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Everyone's names are so weird. *ker-brick'd*

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">Everyone at the table is eating some sort of stiff pasty substance out of porcelain bowls with spoons. =3=

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Oh wow. Been busy much, Barbarus?&quot;

Anaqualia:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Elven hounds,&quot; states a slight High Elf from the back. &quot;How appropriate, My Lady.&quot;

* Barbarus waves his arm in a grand gesture, eyes closed.

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Amadre still has that weird glitch. I am utterly perplexed. XD

Primera:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Beunos dias, Amayan.&quot;

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

Tavia:<font color="#0000FF">Oh mah cheezus, an elf! hi! hi! hi!

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">...I think I recognized that character image... from Fey Winds?

Primera:<font color="#A14D7F">Surprisingly, he has no venom in his voice. :o

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Yup. :3

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

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Yay.

Araian:<font color="#A14D7F">And another elf standing up huridly. :o

* Swallowtail does not speak farther to the Tane.

* Edaric offers a wave. :3

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot; So many introductions..&quot; :o

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..Ah. I forget myself. How have you been Barbarus?&quot;

Araian:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Madame Wood Elf? :o&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Have your.. ah.. injuries been stable?&quot;

Araian:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Sir Barbarus informs me you are quite the conniseur of alcohol?&quot;

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

Edaric:<font color="#000000">Danger, danger, abort, abort. D: Araian:<font color="#A14D7F">This elf is very white, and very...sturdy, for an elf.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Mmm? Oh, please, just Tathi, if you may. And of course! I do love a good drink.&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">Aelian's alarm sound is going off!!!

Teeny Rin:<font color="#FF0000">She has OCH in her blood.

Araian:<font color="#A14D7F">The elf produces a tray of similar porcelain dishes out of a bag, though they are coveredd.

Dorf Aias:<font color="#0000FF">Somewhere, a dwarf twitches as the Teeny Rin tugs on his soul. &gt;:O

Araian:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;I was wondering if you'd like to try these sorbets made with various alcohols? :3&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;JUST A FEW.&quot; Aelian says, a bit too loudly.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Would I!?&quot; And the party's lives flash before their eyes as their explosive wizard reaches for one.

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

Araian:<font color="#A14D7F">&#171; &#160;1d6 = 1&#160; <font color="#A14D7F">&#187;

Araian:<font color="#A14D7F">Mead! :o

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;And who might you be, mister...?&quot; ^^;

* Thomas Lazarus cradles his chin while looking about.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&#171; &#160;1d20+1+fortitude = 10 + 1 + 6 = 17&#160; <font color="#0000FF">&#187; uh oh! She's drinking again.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Why does Teeny Rin remind me so much of the Neko-Arcs?

Araian:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Oh excuse me. I am Araian Luincollor. :3&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Darn, I don't think that's even a buzz. : Teeny Rin:<font color="#FF0000">We serve the same purpose. &gt;83

Araian:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;One of Sir Barbarus' new recruits.&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Be back in two shakes.

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">Barbarus opens his 'bad' eye and peers at Thomas.

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">You can see it is a round gem instead of an occular organ.

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">And that the gem is -constantly- changing color.

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;I see you~&quot;

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

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Oh..? Is that a rogue stone?&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;A third eye gem.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Tathi Eyllisaearsithek.&quot; Tathi says, nodding her a head a little, before looking over at Barbarus, her eyes widening a little at his acquisition. &quot;Well! That's a new look.&quot; Tathi says.

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Sir Ebonwood has an assortment.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I see. It looks good on you.&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Thank you. :3&quot;

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">It's Bar-Bah-Ruh-Suh.

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Make your introduction, everyone!&quot;

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Magic stone inside eyeball? Where's the Hogfather ;)

Hord:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Of course you've all heard about me from Cousin Ed. :3&quot;

Elrik:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Elrik.&quot; A curt reply from a cleric. =3=

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Is everyone assembled here a mercenary, too? Sheesh, there are so many new faces we've more than doubled in size.&quot; ^^;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">-- :O !!!

Asgrim:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Asgrim, sorceror~&quot;

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

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">Would Aelian know Hord? :3

Hord:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Cousin! I was wondering if you'd recognize me with my new hair! :D&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;What the devil are you doing here?! I didn't know you were in the adventuring business!&quot; :D

Hord:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Your catly friend stopped by in town, shared your story, and I took up the business. :3&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">Uh oh elven hounds. Your haircuts have a new competitor for the Doktor's ire. :3

* Dr. Hatari can't help but automatically think of Hord as some kind of in vogue Sith lord.

Hord:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;A lot of the Cousins did, though they went the other way.&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">He may. Though Ed's family is pretty big. :B

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Depends on how many strange faces at family reunions he's good at remembering. :B

Anaqualia:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Anaqualia, generalist wizard.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;The other way...? From adventuring, or from Barbarus?&quot; :.

Ceowulf:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Ceowulf. Hermit.&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Er.. Sorry Ed, but which cousin are you again, Hord?&quot;

Ragnar:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Ragnar the warhawk! :D&quot;

Hord:<font color="#A14D7F">The man pulls off his hair.

Hord:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;I'm the bald one. :3&quot;

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

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

Hord:<font color="#A14D7F">Holy crap his head is shiney~

Hord:<font color="#A14D7F">Like he -polishes- it.

Hord:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;No, geographically. :o&quot;

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

Hord:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;They went toward the Metora plateau.&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Bald Hord = Ikkaku?

Hord:<font color="#A14D7F">Yes.

* Liatai now is imagining Hord as Ikkaku -- NINJA'D

Hord:<font color="#A14D7F">Very yes.

Boddynock:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Boddynock, musician of many instruments. :3&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Toward Metora...?&quot; Ed cradles his chin. &quot;To Oakridge? Or... we haven't been anywhere near Metora.&quot; :.

Hlis:<font color="#A14D7F">And the Dwarf woman speaks up with a surprisingly seductive tone, &quot;And I am Hliss, dearies~&quot;

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

Hord:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Yeah. They said they wanted to help the people away from the big cities more.&quot;

Hord:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Said they needed it more. :o&quot;

* Dr. Hatari struggles to reconcile the use of dearies and seductive together. http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/5658524/images/1251692504857.gif

Hord:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Barbarus told me about how much people need help here too, though.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">Sszeyl looks at the two elves.

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">That dwarf has... huge.. .tracts of land... =w=;;; *brick'd*

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;I am surprised neither of you have attempted to set me on fire yet.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Well.. pleased to meet you all. I'm Tom.&quot; :3

Araian:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;My breed of elves don't exactly care about the Drow. :o We're really removed from everyone else.&quot;

Asgrim:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Barbarus has been sharing stories about you guys in between missions. :O&quot;

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">It is, admittedly, a lot easier to not care about the drow when they're hundreds of miles away.

Anaqualia:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;And I am objective enough to consider the facts. You are not a Lolth drow.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus glances over to the snake on top of a dog chilling with a chipmonk.

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

Anaqualia:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;And it is Lolth with whom I have issue.&quot;

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Not caring about them when they're nearby... if they're anything like the standard Faerun fare... is like trying a peaceful protest in front of 2 Panzer.

Niphred:<font color="#A14D7F">Boy, I'm a mink.

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

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

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">You are a familiar and damn well subject to whatever I call you. *_*

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Is that one of the eyepatched snakes? :B

Notus:<font color="#A14D7F">Yes.

* Dr. Hatari zooms in.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">lulz, Sam!snake.

Vuz:<font color="#A14D7F">Suddenly the cat, mink, fox, and snake all start playing. :O

Vuz:<font color="#A14D7F">What is this, I don't even--

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Well! I'm sure Barbarus' stories make introductions a bit less necessary, but I'm Ed.&quot; :3

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">It's what most Metal Gear world military oranizations sound like.

Amadre:<font color="#0000FF">You think that's crazy? Wait until the two elven hounds get involved. :3

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

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Ocelot, Snake, Wolf, Octopus, Raven and Mantis?

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;You'll be happy to note that we've had no assassination attempts. |3&quot;

Primera:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Aside from when on duty.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Gracious. It's a good thing we were already making arrangements for a much bigger building.&quot; ^^;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Actually, according to our last intel, those assassins are headed the wrong way. Still southward.&quot; :3

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Eeeeeh.&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Oh, nice. :o&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;The building doesn't have enough room for us and all these guys.&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;So I'm keeping up the rent for here until I talk to Gnoggle about expansion, or spreading out. :3&quot;

* Edaric starts schmoozing. :3 *brick'd*

Hlis:<font color="#A14D7F">Oh my~

Edaric:<font color="#000000">Not that -- not that way I'm not into dwarves. =w=;;;;

* Swallowtail is pointedly looking anywhere but at the Tane.

Hlis:<font color="#A14D7F">We'll work on that~

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I see. Well.. I'll leave that property stuff up to you guys, I guess.&quot;

Primera:<font color="#A14D7F">Those of you who do look notice two swords at this guy's side.

Primera:<font color="#A14D7F">One much longer than the other, and one completely lacking a crossguard.

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;You say missions. What do you do, exactly?&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;So... what's 'sorbet,' anyway?&quot; :.

Araian:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;It's a frozen treat that is made with a liquid other than milk. :o&quot;

Araian:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Traditionally it's mostly used for fruit juice dishes.&quot;

* Swallowtail looks over at Barbarus.

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">The cat is leaning on the table with his elbow, spinning the spoon on one hand.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;So...are you going to be forming a company afterall?&quot;

Teeny Rin:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;I'd like a second Mapu Tofu... oh? Wrong scene?&quot;

Dr. Hatari whispers: Hm. Should I try to hold off on the Mace for VAE? It seems entirely reasonable that he may just be crashed for hours. That being good for him aside.

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Perhaps an organizations.&quot;

You whisper to Dr. Hatari: If you like. We can always do it in a mini session if needed.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;It seems like it! What are these missions you have been doing?&quot;

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">gotta go afk to heat supper up. :3

Dr. Hatari whispers: I don't, actually. :B But I figured it would be considerate to ask.

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Me an Primera go on missions to pay off my debt to our wolfy friends. He comes along because it's good exercise.&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;These guys tackle various odds and ends around town.&quot;

You whisper to Saphroneth: Any sign of the lynx elsewhere? :.

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

Ceowulf:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Such as a migrant goblin tribe causing problems in the sewers.&quot;

You whisper to Dr. Hatari: Well... he did say to go on without him. We could do it today.

Ceowulf:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;They have been...dealt with.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;... they weren't wearing red, were they? I think Gnogglebolt had an interest in a goblin tribe that was wearing red...&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I hope that was some 'other' goblin tribe or we'll never hear the end of it.&quot; &gt;.&gt;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Then perhaps a charter isnt uncalled for afterall.&quot;

Ceowulf:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;They wore blue.&quot;

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Okay, apparently I don't know how to whisper...

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Type /w (Name) (Message)

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh yeah! Gamal, that's Barbarus over there.&quot; :3 &quot;Barbarus, this is... Gamal-Junayd? He's an adventurer we met out west.&quot;

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">And /reply for when someone whispers back. :3

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Tried that, got a &quot;player is not connected&quot; message. Is it different if aiming for the GM?

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Looks like a sand-walker. |u&quot;

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Liatai is not connected? :.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">How strange...

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Curious. Make sure to use their Player handles and not character names?

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">It said &quot;Player Liatai&quot;, so maybe it's different for the GM.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">I whispered her no problem a few times. :.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Strange.

Saphroneth whispers: I see no sign of him.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">There we go.

You whisper to Saphroneth: Okay.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">It was the colon that I started the message with.

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;So, you make this sorbet stuff? Do you sell it, too?&quot; :3

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;You'd probably make a killing at the festival in a few days.&quot; :3

Araian:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Sorbet and ice cream, yep. :3&quot;

Araian:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Been doing so for fifty years now. :3&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">So many catfaces. :3 *brick'd*

Primera:<font color="#A14D7F">I feel so uncatty.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Crap, need to restart. =3=

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Brb.

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

</i>Liatai:<font color="#000000">Mewing kitty.

* Thomas Lazarus rubs his chin and ponders a few daily matters. :.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I wonder where brother Miron got off to already.. maybe to the hostel.&quot; He glances to Gamal.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">I think that the Lynx has been trying to sleep like an elf... four hours a night.

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">please remind him that playing diablo 3 does not count as trancing

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Nah, I mean a nap behind his table in the engineering department.. is all he's had in the last 36 hours, apart from the current sleeps.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Although what I was going to do is sort of official business, I was planning to stop by the Leaden Mace headquarters here in a bit. The details regarding our expected next bit of 'work' up in Yoriver are still being hammered out there, I imagine.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">He shrugs faintly. &quot;You could tag along if you so wish. I don't imagine you're bristling with errands all of a sudden in a stranger's city, hm?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Or stick around and socialize. Just saying.&quot;

Tathi: <font color="#ff">(( I RETURN ))

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Nope, don't mind at all, sounds interesting. And really, the only errand I have, is if were going to be here awhile, I'd like my blades enchanted. MAybe on the way back, you could recomend a place to have that done?&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;I'm going to be pecking around a few of the elven hangouts in the city. I've got a recruitment drive of my own to do. You can come along, if you like.&quot;

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

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Where all dem dere wood elfs be hangin' out at?

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&#171; &#160;1d20+9 = 13 + 9 = 22&#160; <font color="#0000FF">&#187; knowledge local!

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Then lead on.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;The Toris family has a few enchanters you haven't yet met. I imagine they'll be able to take care of your blades. Our local Pelorite temple also has an arms smith, depending on what magic you had in mind. I was going to see the Torises myself about the same thing.&quot;

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

</i>* Thomas Lazarus waves to all the new folk and Barbarus. :3 &quot;Nice meeting you all. Perhaps we'll work together soon.&quot;

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">I miss anything important? :o

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;If you're ready, lets head out, Sszeyl.&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Not really.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Tathi appears to be going out drinking. Is that important, or just expected?

Primera:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Perhaps when they can manage a real challenge.&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">It's only important in that she's wildly irresponsible and destructive while sober.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">*snrk* Not quite. She's looking for the scattered wood elf populations to start bolstering her start at making a new home for the wood elves.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Well. I've only been doing this a few months. You get used to it quicker than you first expect.&quot; :3

Anaqualia:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;A few scattered populations moved to our plateau, Madame.&quot;

Anaqualia:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;They have been informed of your endevour, but feel it is too soon to get their hopes up.&quot;

Anaqualia:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;And sent me as a witness to the success or failure of it.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;I'll stay here for a while while you go to the Mace.&quot; :3 And make sure Swallowtail doesn't perfect her death glare. &quot;If I'm not here, look for me at the Talespinner, all right?&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">:| Ignoring the Tane. Frostily.

Anaqualia:<font color="#A14D7F">Or did Tathi already leave? :o

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

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Oh no, she's still here.

* Thomas Lazarus pats Swallowtail's shoulder once with a nervous smile before departing. =w=;

Honduras:<font color="#000000">... Wait.

Honduras:<font color="#000000">That smell. :o

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Well! If you'd like to have a look, I suppose we could travel out there. I plan on learning how to teleport, but I'll have to research how many I can bring with me.&quot;

Honduras:<font color="#000000">Familiar... and yet... laden with TREASURE...

Honduras:<font color="#000000">*_*

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

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">It's too late.

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">Fly, you fools.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">grab the treasure adn run!

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Now how did Meany not have ownership of those mules? :B

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

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Ghost's trolling.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">:B

Anaqualia:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;If it is not too much of a bother.&quot;

Anaqualia:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;However, I am not against a long walk, if needed.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">To the Mace? :o

Liatai:<font color="#000000">To the Mace!

Liatai:<font color="#000000">The three Mace tokens have been copied.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Right, let me check a few areas out, and then go shopping, and then away we go! Get ready to meet some fey.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">En Route; &quot;..That reminds me. Do you know what the Leaden Mace is, Gamal?&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">DM, results on that knowledge, local check? :3

Anaqualia:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Seelie?&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Both. But, yes, seelie during the day.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Not really. &quot;

Anaqualia:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;You are lucky.&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">There aren't many large wood elf congregation points in Castleton; it's a bit far south. You may have luck asking around the elven temples.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">VAE alive yet?

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">This is his part of the show, after all. :3

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">No sign, sadly. I tried using Skype to ring him, but apparently his computer's muted.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Let's check the temples. It's about the best I can think of.&quot; Tathi says, and heads off, perhaps with miss Anaqualia in tow. &quot;So, where are you from?&quot;

Anaqualia:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Meilocha.&quot;

Anaqualia:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Before a month ago, I was an Anchorite in the temple of Correlon.&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Copied the elves over to Leaden Mace Society, as well, for ease of RPing.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Thankee, but it's no problem for me. :3

* Meany gives Liatai sweet and sour chicken.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Interesting! And you left to join with Barbarus?&quot;

Anaqualia:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;No.&quot;

Anaqualia:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;I left to investigate you, and your Drow friend.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I imagined not. The Leaden Mace is an organization started up by the templars of Saint Cuthbert. It consists of inquisitors and analysts dedicated to hunting down and eradicating the dark forces lurking out in the world. We've got some amount of local law enforcement responsibilities as well. But those duties are usually handled more by local guards or Aureate Palm paladins. We take the fight to the bad guys, in other words.&quot;

Anaqualia:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Sir Barbarus saved my life, and so I work with him.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Oh! Sszeyl! Interesting story, that. But what's this about Barbarus saving your life?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;It's not quite as widespread out here in the southeast.&quot;

Ceowulf:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;He has done so for many who sit here.&quot;

Anaqualia:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;A wereweasel tried to murder me, he prevented it.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;They are the yin to the Palm's yang.&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Let me know when Tathi and the rest start heading out. :3

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Well, another good mark for Barbarus! So I suppose you have questions about that strange, drow friend of mine?&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Oh, we did, just didn't move tokens. XD

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;The Guardians have been working fairly closely with this branch of the Mace to date. ... 'Course, not all of us get along quite ... perfectly.&quot; =w=;

Anaqualia:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;I have inquired to the local temple about him, but hearing your personal reason for not immolmating him would be nice.&quot;

* Gamal-Junayd chuckles

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;I could see that. If the Guardians do become a full on company...how do you see them intereacting with the mace and palm in the long run? &quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;With the Palm, splendidly.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;OR haven't thought that far ahead?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I haven't really the faintest. I'm more a day at a time kind of guy. Ideally there wouldn't ever be a problem.. but..&quot; He sighs. &quot;Attitudes.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;You've seen well enough how it can be.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;The Guardians are an aggressive force.&quot;

GM:<font color="#000000">Elven group, please roll Listen checks while you walk?

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Well, funny story that. Apparently, according to all reports, the lolth drow met a grisly end when they returned to the underdark. This.. zealous group of monks rose up, and pretty much slaughtered them to the last, driving the survivors out and taking over the drow population as their new rulers.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;They will not mesh with the Mace well unless they are so active that the Mace is passive by reflection.&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">zomg so warm

Anaqualia:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;An improvement over their previous rulership.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Saying there willl be problems unless we get big enough to be putting them out of work?&quot;

Anaqualia:<font color="#A14D7F">&#171; &#160;1d20+3 = 8 + 3 = 11&#160; <font color="#A14D7F">&#187; Listen. :o

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&#171; &#160;1d20+2+floor((wisdom-10)/2) = 9 + 2 + floor((13 - 10) / 2) = 12&#160; <font color="#0000FF">&#187; listen!

Anaqualia:<font color="#A14D7F">Lolnope.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Not those kinds of problems.&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">&#171; &#160;1d20+13 = 3 + 13 = 16&#160; <font color="#0000FF">&#187; listen!

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;If I may be frank for a moment; a few of 'us' just treat each other intolerantly. It's not a professional problem like size or work.&quot;

GM:<font color="#000000">Hehehe... now to put someone on the spot. Let's see.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Quite! And now, Sszeyl here, he's apparently a scout of sorts for them, looking for new forms of government to emulate. That is, up until we found out about his little problem.&quot;

Anaqualia:<font color="#A14D7F">Wait.

Anaqualia:<font color="#A14D7F">The hounds!

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;I meant it as an expression of energy.&quot;

Tavia:<font color="#0000FF">&#171; &#160;1d20+5 = 9 + 5 = 14&#160; <font color="#0000FF">&#187; Listen!

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;But your point is valid.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Gnogglebolt in particular utterly detested when I decided to join the Mace. For some reason. He's pretty biased against them in lieu of the Palm. And Miron..&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..Well.. Miron can just be an ass.&quot;

Falion:<font color="#000000">As the elven group walks along, Aelian can catch a mutter in Elven as an elf in the crowd stands up on his toes to get a look at you. &quot;(Alea... is that the wood elf with the regrowth proect? Seems she hasn't lost the half-human tagalong yet... )&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">How rare of Tom to swear.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..But other than that, I'd like to think we're all close allies.&quot;

Alea'ettlinian:<font color="#000000">&quot;(Is who... It is!) Yoo-hoo! Tathi!&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi perks up, and looks about. That's a familiar token but the player is a derpasaurus!!!!

Anaqualia:<font color="#A14D7F">She was one of your recruits for SEEDs.

Anaqualia:<font color="#A14D7F">Those two, and the Cu Sith breeder.

Alea'ettlinian:<font color="#000000">A wood elf waves to Tathi from across the lane, approaching at a quick clip with a smile, followed by a male wood elf with a hat.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;I have not seen much from Miron, but Gnoggle seems to jump to comclusion that everythign will go wrong..and then subconsiously sabatoge his own efforts to achieve his goals. But I think he too would view the group as allies.&quot;

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Derpasaurus - accidentally extincted the dinosaurs. Sat down too hard in the Yucatan.

GM:<font color="#000000">Sorry for being evil and pulling material from a mini-session 40 sessions ago... not really, but you know... XP *brick'd*

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Testing, testing, one two.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Mm.. well. I'll leave you to draw your own conclusions. I don't like to gossip behind people's backs.&quot;

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Am I coming in?

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

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">:18

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Oh! Hello there Alea! My, just one of the (okay I almost typed evil. thanks DM. XD) people I was looking for!&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">YES SHUT UP QUEEN LATIFAH. &gt;:O

Liatai:<font color="#000000">:18 and :18.

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;That's the bard's job.&quot;

Alea'ettlinian:<font color="#000000">&quot;How have you been? I haven't heard from you in weeks!&quot; :D

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Although..&quot; He glances to Gamal. &quot;I understand it's been a pretty disorienting trip, yoinked into our company and exposed to all this foreign minutia with barely an explanation.&quot; ^^;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Oh, I've been around quite a lot, just very busy! Trying to deal with that poor monk's problems. But! I have splendid news! The first house is up and set in the woods! And even better! It's a fey wood!&quot;

Alea'ettlinian:<font color="#000000">&quot;A fey wood?!&quot; :O

Falion:<font color="#000000">&quot;... Seelie or unseelie?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Don't mean to keep you in the dark, honestly. It's just.. you know. Where does one begin explaining everything? And the times things come up, it's usually the worst time to openly talk about them.&quot; ^^;;

Falion:<font color="#000000">&quot;You... did get permission before building in a fey wood, didn't you?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Ask Edaric.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..Anyways. Just feel free to ask me anything.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;He is the storyteller of our group.&quot;

Anaqualia:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;I asked that myself.&quot;

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Why is that question starting to sound like &quot;Smoking or non smoking?&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">But I have no ranks in D: *brick'd*

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">More like smoldering or non smoldering m i rite

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Yes, sir, the balcony over here is un-Seelie.&quot;

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

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Airplane joke!

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Smoking ticket.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;I will. Though as you said..often I hjave noe clue about somethign that I should ask..untill it's a bad time to ask.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Oh of course not. I didn't even know they were there.&quot; She says, as if it was perfectly fine. :3

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Indeed. To be fair, we did have an amazing string of sensitive circumstances crop up just after you joined up.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;But! They came and met me shortly afterwards, and it was delightful! Now, there's both types out in the wood, it's apparently quite well established, but I've already set ground rules to keep those pesky unseelie from snatching guests.&quot;

Alea'ettlinian:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh! I'm sorry, dear, I forgot to ask! Alea'ettlinian. I'm a merchant of magical wares. Who might you be?&quot; she asks to Anaqualia.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Heck, I still don't know what you all did in Thalinde. And I'm frankly glad. So much drama along that whole river, yeesh.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus draws a long sigh.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..It's good to be back here.&quot;

* Falion paled at &quot;oh of course not,&quot; and his color's not entirely back by the time Tathi finishes.

Anaqualia:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Anaqualia, official witness on behalf of the wood elf populations of the Metora plateau.&quot;

Anaqualia:<font color="#A14D7F">A shallow bow given to the wood elves.

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

* Falion bows back.

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Tathi, it might be counter-productive to scare possible recruits to death..&quot;

GM:<font color="#000000">Hostel group, with Tom leading the way, you should find yourself at the Leaden Mace in no time at all.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Oh, I'm just having a spot of fun. I mean, I do hope to meet with their queen and king one day.&quot;

Anaqualia:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Ill-advised, but you are the Lady.&quot;

Falion:<font color="#000000">... yep, the color's gone straight out of the hunter's face again.

* Dr. Hatari is having music fail. &gt;:O

Falion:<font color="#000000">&quot;For your own sake, and for your project's, please reconsider!&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;It is nice to return to a place you can call home.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi giggles softly. &quot;Oh, Falion, I do hope you come. You're entirely too much fun to play with.&quot;

Falion:<font color="#000000">Of note, his gaze is passing over Aelian as if he wasn't even there.

* Alea'ettlinian giggles.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Building right there in a fey wood was an accident really. Even with myself and Aelian scouting about, we didn't encounter any, even as we picked out a tree. I wonder if the druids met them? Maybe they already knew.&quot;

Alea'ettlinian:<font color="#000000">&quot;Is the Great House in any condition to recieve guests?&quot; :3

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;But I am kidding about meeting the high fey. Doing so is entirely too dangerous, at least for now. Maybe when my mastery of the arcane improves, I can, but not now. We'll just have to pass letters back and forth.&quot;

Anaqualia:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;My study into the fey indicates otherwise, Lady.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Right now, I'm focusing more on elevating to the hamlet status, at which point I can approach the Akellon nobility for recognition.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus eventually enters the hostel and raises a hand in greeting.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Oh, and absolutely! Fully furnished, even with guest rooms!&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Ah-hah.

Smoke:<font color="#000000">Inquisitors are milling about, and a dog is sleeping near the practice room's entrance... but his head quickly snaps up.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">I now fit in with my gigantic new coat collar. *brick'd*

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

Smoke:<font color="#000000">LEAP!

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Oh? Have you found a way to safely be in the presence of one of the great fey?&quot;

Anaqualia:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;A fey would likely attempt to geas you if you were not a Lord of nation in your own right. But my studies are only cursory in this subject.&quot;

Anaqualia:<font color="#A14D7F">fey lord*

Smoke:<font color="#000000">Tom is now being greeted with a full-body wag and slurping tongue, with happy whines interspersed. :D

Anise Berilan:<font color="#000000">&quot;Well HEY! There's a face we haven't seen in an age!&quot; :D

* Thomas Lazarus laughs and kneels down to ruffle on Smoke. ^^

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Hey, you.&quot; |3

Smoke:<font color="#000000">Slurp slurp slurp :D

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Hee. I am imagining the founding of a micronation - Tathia! (It's one square meter, but it counts damnit!)

* Thomas Lazarus stands. &quot;Indeed. Glad to be back after all that bloody work in the west. Is the Commander in?&quot;

Smoke:<font color="#000000">Wag wag wag wag whine wag :D

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">Waiting for the new Dwarven inquisitor to set me on fire.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Ah, yes.&quot; He gestures to his right. &quot;This is Gamal. New fellow we picked up in the course of working for Lady Salishea. He was interested in assisting with 'that business' brewing in the north.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Anyway, if you would like to come see, you're free to come along. We'll be heading there after a bit of shopping and checking the local temples.&quot;

Orrin Oakley:<font color="#000000">The room is filled with warm smiles, except from the new female dwarf, who looks stern and curious. The Palm liaison chuckles. &quot;Back home and already straight to business. A true Inquisitor.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus forces a smile. ^^; &quot;Well..&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Orders are orders. The commander wanted to see Sszeyl right away.&quot;

Anise Berilan:<font color="#000000">&quot;... you picked up a mummy?&quot;

* Gamal-Junayd nods at those around

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Sure. He's probably the best swordsman in the country, too.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;I'm not that good.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Good enough to walk through wyverns and lycans like they weren't even there and leave corpses behind you.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Enter a swordsmanship contest at a festival.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Then see if you are -that good.-&quot;

Anise Berilan:<font color="#000000">&quot;Eh. You drink? We're due for a party with two of our long-range inquisitors coming back!&quot;

Gilric Golrunn:<font color="#000000">&quot;Eh... ye did bring back Inquisitor Miron with ye, didn't ye?&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus smirks.

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Miron is resting from dealing with a curious fey.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;I tried to avoid leaving the corpses. Except for the Chimera.&quot;

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">It's an interesting question - is the measure of the best swordtman attack bonus, damage, average damage over time or perhaps some metric involving AC?

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;It was...trying.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus glances to Gilric. &quot;..Mm. I assumed he had come here first.&quot;

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">...wow. I just saw a video where an archer managed the &quot;arrow passes down previous arrow and splits it&quot; trick.

Leiden Frost:<font color="#000000">&quot;He may have gone to another library...? Our archives are in a state of some disarray at the moment. The commander is in; he should either be there or in his office.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">at sszeyl &quot;Do we have time for festivales?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I guess we'll find out in a few minutes.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;We make time for festivals.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Everyone needs a break from work.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Or Thomas will finally go insane and kill us all horribly.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus raises a hand again. &quot;Catch up with you guys later.&quot;

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

* Tathi pulls the DM back this way. :3

Anise Berilan:<font color="#000000">&quot;I gotta go tell Skar and Flint! We'll have to break out the good stuff, if the journey out west was that bloody and full of adventure!&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus pulls the DM the other way. &gt;:O

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Oh, we have some stories.&quot;

Alea'ettlinian:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh... I've got a few more contracts to finish in the city first. What with the festival coming up and all! Could I stop by after the Tricksters' Feast?&quot; :3

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..First things first, though.&quot; Tom clanks upstairs.

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">Le follow. :o

Celestial Corgi Puppy:<font color="#000000">:o

* Gamal-Junayd follows as well

Celestial Corgi Puppy:<font color="#000000">Yip! :D

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

Richter Malino:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hmm...? -- Thomas!&quot; :D

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">is that...really a celestial corgi?

* Thomas Lazarus offers a neutral wave. New faces.

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Again with the corgis, Richter?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">Le pet the puppy.

Richter Malino:<font color="#000000">The beanpole of a human archivist chuckles. ^^;

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Presumably related to the pets of Solar Lizzie...

Richter Malino:<font color="#000000">&quot;She followed me home from the library one day...&quot; ^^;

Celestial Corgi Puppy:<font color="#000000">Yip! :D

* Thomas Lazarus smirks.

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;How has she remained manifested so long?&quot;

Richter Malino:<font color="#000000">&quot;I... haven't the slightest, honestly. I'm beginning to think someone may have summoned her with a planar ally spell and forgotten to dismiss her. Perhaps she wasn't what they were expecting. Oh. Her name is Aldura.&quot; ^^

Aldura:<font color="#000000">Yip!

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;She's adorable beyond words.&quot;

* Liatai heard that in a deadpan. :B *brick'd*

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">Well I do have Snape voice.

Malconvoker:<font color="#000000">&quot;More inquisitors?&quot;

* Cadamon Gardner nods, smiling. :)

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Singular, my good madam.&quot; While pointing at Tom.

Cadamon Gardner:<font color="#000000">&quot;It's good to see you back safely, Inquisitor Lazarus.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus glances aside to Gamal and speaks a little more quietly. &quot;I'm not certain the commander will want a new face present while we debrief. May have to beg your pardon a few minutes. Feel free to mill about or intrude on people's business, though. We're otherwise a pretty relaxed bunch..&quot; He smiles.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Good to be back, lieutenant commander.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I see we've many new folk today.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Well, I am going to go inquire about the temples in the area, see what populations I can find. Good to see you again!&quot;

Cadamon Gardner:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yes; recruitment has truly skyrocketed in the month you've been gone.&quot; ^^ &quot;I think our business in Castle Osyluth has inspired a number of people to pick up the inquisitor's mantle!&quot;

Anaqualia:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;I can show you to the local shrines of the lesser dieties.&quot;

Alea'ettlinian:<font color="#000000">&quot;You too! Good luck!&quot;

Anaqualia:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Only Correlon has a temple in this city.&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">The other elven deities have small shrines in Corellon's temple complex... ^^;

* Thomas Lazarus nods once, slowly. He looks to the two new folk and nods again. &quot;It's a welcome sight.&quot;

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

Cadamon Gardner:<font color="#000000">&quot;-- Oh. Miss Frostweave is a consultant, not an inquisitor.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;None of them mentioned a catfolk pointing them here, did they? :B&quot;

Malconvoker:<font color="#000000">The woman at the end of the hallway nods shallowly to your group.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Wonderful! Let's get going then!&quot;

Lanky Junior Archivist:<font color="#000000">&quot;Nice to meetcha! Jim Lane. Junior archivist.&quot; :3

Anaqualia:<font color="#A14D7F">Le show around. :V

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">TIME TO ROLL FOR HUMAN NOBLE ENCOUNTERS-*brick'd so hard*

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;So noted. A pleasure all the same. But please excuse me. I've tarried quite a while already.&quot; Tom steps over and knocks on the commander's door.

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

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

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">You encounter a CR 3 Duke's bastard. ROLL FOR INIT.

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

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

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

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">It's Tea-ah-tim-eh!

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Well at least you didn't delete the commander. XD

Goddamnit:<font color="#000000">THIS was in the commander's chair.

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

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

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">oh god my sides.

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">I had -actually- forgotten, if you believe it. XP

* Liatai gnaws. XP

Alberic Ashmore:<font color="#000000">&quot;Enter.&quot;

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">What was in the chair?

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Aw, the teaparty's gone. XP

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

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Ashmore, quit horsing around!

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Ah, right. I see. The token wasn't entirely clear at first.

Richter Malino:<font color="#000000">&quot;Well... sir Moscran? If you're looking for something to do while you wait, we could use a hand packing some of these books if you're inclined. Or you're welcome to go downstairs and chat, if you'd prefer.&quot; ^^

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Reminds me of the tale of Caligula. Didn't he make his horse consul, as part of either a bitter political joke, or just being crazy...

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Oh yes, you're changing locations, right?&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Crud. Afk 2 shakes.

Alberic Ashmore:<font color="#000000">The commander looks up from his writing as you enter, then nods. &quot;Inquisitor Lazarus. You have returned safely... and in record time, as well. Is Inquisitor Steelsprocket with you?&quot;

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">And he spits out a mouthful of hay.

Cadamon Gardner:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yes... actually, to the former site of the Nerullian temple your group infiltrated with Inquisitor Carthan. The site has been consecrated, and a larger building's been put in place over it. If we keep growing at this rate, after all, we'll swiftly run out of room in this hostel!&quot; :3

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hmm..might as well help. What needs doing?&quot;

Richter Malino:<font color="#000000">&quot;The archives are much larger -- and we'll have a proper room for artifact storage now!&quot; :D

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;I hope the carpenters gave no issue to the expanding of the building?&quot;

Richter Malino:<font color="#000000">&quot;Do you have any magical training... I'm sorry, your name is...?&quot;

Richter Malino:<font color="#000000">Hmm. You don't smell like a mummy. That's good. *brick'd*

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">...hee. I just worked out that my mongolian elf guy could fire an arrow from a galloping horse at an archery target 600 feet away, left handed, and only miss on a natural 1. (So this is what build Legolas was using...)

Cadamon Gardner:<font color="#000000">&quot;There were some concerns. Once the ruined building was cleared and the basement consecrated, however, construction went smoothly.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Gama. and no, I'm a swordsman.&quot;

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">*Gamal *brick'd*

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Consecration is important. Especially when it can shut down your enemies. It seems like it's not stopping that old &quot;dyslexia&quot; debuff, though...

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;So, Ed, Swallowtail. :3&quot;

Richter Malino:<font color="#000000">&quot;Best to leave the magical texts to those with training, then... Would you mind helping with transporting some of these boxes downstairs?&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;How did it feel to meed the Rock's daughter?&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">DAG NABBIT *brick'd*

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">;B

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi heads for the main elven temple first, seeking out wood elves and telling them about the new restoration project, and asking if anyone might be interested.

Edaric 1:<font color="#000000">&quot;The Rock...?&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">ANY NOBLE ENCOUNTERS? *brick'd more*

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Dyslexia buffs are dangerous, especially for mages. Don't want to misspell the words of a somatic-component spell...

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;No problem. &quot; And he starts moving the boxes to..wherver&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Of Largiza. Primera's a history buff, so he recognised the name Salishea right away.&quot;

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Wherver? I've been there. It's on the Danube, right?

GM:<font color="#000000">You get... some fleeting interest. No solid commitments, but a few have expressed interest in visiting the Great House.

Edaric 1:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh. OH!&quot; :O

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Squee! If any want to come, they're welcome! And then she heads off to the local shrines, and rinse, wash, ears, repeat! ANY DUKES? *brick'd again*

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

</i>Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Yo.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Tom salutes rigidly before falling into an at-ease stance. &quot;Indeed. Working with Lady Salishea turned out to provide us with some very quick-moving and large allies that helped us expedite the return trip. And no, to my surprise. I can only assume he's in communication with Braxton again. Or perhaps just motion sick, still.&quot;

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">I'm still lulzing over the horse trollin'. XD

Saph:<font color="#CC6600">Well, that was strange... wasn't a crash...

Edaric 1:<font color="#000000">&quot;It was incredible. We'd already met one big dragon, but the sheer presence of Salishea -- it was like meeting the incarnation of some ancient power. Not even nobility -- like a force of nature.&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">-- FFFFF numbers XD

Primera:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Good.&quot;

Saph:<font color="#CC6600">?

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

Primera:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;That is as it should be.&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">Ed what have I told you about that there bard clonin'!?

Edaric:<font color="#000000">That it makes great ensembles? :B *brick'd*

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">*arrows!!*

Anaqualia:<font color="#A14D7F">The high elf also advises the elves we come across to travel in groups.

Anaqualia:<font color="#A14D7F">At least on the full moon nights. ^^;

Alberic Ashmore:<font color="#000000">&quot;A distinct possibility.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Ah yes, of course, the lunar rituals. Lords and ladies I've been out of touch with all this dragon business. Do you know where they usually congregate?&quot;

Anaqualia:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;It is not that.&quot;

Alberic Ashmore:<font color="#000000">&quot;Has your mission been successful?&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">oops.. I misread that. XD

Anaqualia:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;The wereweasel that tried to kill me is rumored to seek out elves as his victims.&quot;

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

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Oh really now.&quot; Tathi says, suddenly getting a very sour look. &quot;And might there be any hope of locating this wereweasel?&quot;

GM:<font color="#000000">Seems this wereweasel is pretty well-known. Many of the elves nod, and caution you in return to do the same. &quot;The streets of Castleton are not safe on the full-moon nights for elf-kind these days...&quot;

Anaqualia:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;The mysterious wolves that Barbarus is indebted to have him as their prey.&quot;

Anaqualia:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;But other than that, I don't know.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Yes, sir.&quot; He takes a moment to unbutton a pouch on his belt and withdraw some documents. &quot;And a summary of the action taken along the river. Actions, I should say. ... It's been a trip to remember ...&quot; he remarks with a slight drop in tone and hint of weariness. =w=;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Hrmph. I can't have this kind of nonsense flying through the air while I am trying to set up a new home for my people. We best stamp this out fast..&quot;

GM:<font color="#000000">The local law enforcement has also been trying to chase down the Elf-Drinker, as the beast has become known, but to no avail.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Sszeyl is just outside. There haven't been any 'incidents' since meeting with Lady Salishea.&quot;

Alberic Ashmore:<font color="#000000">&quot;Excellent. A true relief to hear. I shall review these reports at first opportunity.&quot;

Alberic Ashmore:<font color="#000000">&quot;Have you a heading for the next piece of the seal?&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Very well. Let it be known that my house is a sanctuary. A blood-thirsty lycanthrope would be a fool to try and attack a great house that is not only defensible, but also in good favor with the local fey.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Open to any of elven blood, by the way.&quot;

GM:<font color="#000000">Some of the elves say they'll spread the word.

Aldura:<font color="#000000">The little Corgi pup gambols around the feet of the two new people, sniffing.

Aldura:<font color="#000000">Galumph galumph galumph -- sniffsniff -- wag -- galumph galumph.

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">Pet pet pet pet.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Not as of yet. I believe the good Lady advised us to speak with Nathaniel Toris about that. We've caught only rumors about where the other wyrms may reside. One perhaps in the northern desert. One perhaps in the Veld - perhaps not all that far from Yoriver. But hearsay and speculation until we corroborate with persons who might know better.&quot;

Aldura:<font color="#000000">You smell like... kitten... :o

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">You smell like happy.

Alberic Ashmore:<font color="#000000">&quot;Ah yes... Yoriver. I expect you would appreciate news of Mace activity there.&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Java is being freezey today.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..Very much, sir.&quot; Tom leaves the understatement at that.

Tathi: <font color="#ff">(( back, sorry! ))

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Onward to the local shrines then! Any shennigans there, or more or less the same event as the main temple? Tathi keeps her pattern up. New wood elf home growing! Also, sanctuary with the local lycan madness going on.

Alberic Ashmore:<font color="#000000">&quot;Upon the information of yourself and Inquisitor Steelsprocket... I have submitted a formal inquiry to the High Commander of Central Akellon. He, in turn, has requested information from the High Commander of Northern Akellon. The reports of potential corruption within the higher echelons of the Mace is... highly disconcerting.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Without a doubt.&quot;

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">crazy question.. but is there a window into ashmore's room? :3

Alberic Ashmore:<font color="#000000">&quot;At last report, a formal inquest was to be prepared, pulling from other Mace outposts in the area to investigate and contain any threats. It will likely be two weeks, or more, until further news reaches us here. I have mentioned to the High Commander that I have several powerful operatives interested and invested in the case. He has sworn to inform me at first notice of any further information.&quot;

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">VAE's sleeping through the whole session. :O

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Archivist Steelsproket and I have been in communication with a few.. personal acquaintances in Yoriver. They've been able to confirm serious problems lurking behind a mask of normalcy out there. At the very least, there are a lot of fiends skulking in the shadows.&quot;

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">We need to throw bricks at his window.

Saph:<font color="#CC6600">I'm already making Skype calls to him in the vain hope that might work... it rings, see...

Liatai:<font color="#000000">There is, actually, with bars and tinted glass. It is arcane locked.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Mm..&quot; He looks at the desk for a moment.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">:3

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">What we need to do is let him sleep. The stubborn dork.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">And that's coming from me.

Alberic Ashmore:<font color="#000000">&quot;Two of Inquisitor Steelsprocket's former colleagues are also en route to contain the fiends, including Senior Inquisitor Thorgar Garral.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">While heading for one of the local shrines, Tathi passes close by the Leaden Mace.. and decides Ashmore is entirely too normal for a horse- er, man. So she twitches her ring, and.. Ashmore's window turns a bright, colorful array of neon colors. :3

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Sounds familiar. Mentioned in one of his anecdotes, no doubt.&quot;

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

* Alberic Ashmore 's eyes quickly dart to the window. &quot;...&quot; :|

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

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

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">And then she scurries away. ^^

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

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Tom can't even guess which of his prestidigitizing friends that could have been. It's like a fucking queue.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Because it's harmless, and because I can.&quot; :3

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

</i><i><font color="#0000ff">Saphroneth is disconnected.

</i>Alberic Ashmore:<font color="#000000">&quot;... I should caution you that as a member of the Leaden Mace, with the approaching holiday of Olidamarra, to remain vigilant. You may find yourself a target of... such pranks by your association with the church of Saint Cuthbert.&quot;

Anaqualia:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;I advise you to include more yellow in it next timne.&quot;

Anaqualia:<font color="#A14D7F">time*

Saph:<font color="#CC6600">Wow, that took a while to time out.

* Thomas Lazarus offers a faint smile. &quot;...&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Mm, yes, that was a little too green, wasn't it? I've got fey on the brain.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;You can rest assured that I'll take the holidays in good humor, commander.&quot;

* Alberic Ashmore frowns at the window. &quot;... last year the hostel ended up covered in sequins and streamers.&quot; :|

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">So! DM, to pull you in 20 different directions, any special events at the shrines?

Alberic Ashmore:<font color="#000000">&quot;Very good.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">x3

GM:<font color="#000000">Nothing of note. :3 More of the same.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..Ahhh. There was one other matter I had to bring to your attention. Not included in the reports.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Excellent, now to see if I can afford a teleport scroll for the scribing. :3

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Alright. I think I've let this tension build up quite long enough, don't you all agree? :3&quot;

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

Tokens dropped onto map 'Leaden Mace Society'Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Now, who wants to volunteer to stay behind to make sure they don't kill each other?&quot;

Teeny Rin:<font color="#FF0000">You know what you should do..

Teeny Rin:<font color="#FF0000">..Is learn delay metamagic. And cast a delayed teleport on Aelian to teleport to Castleton. And then regular teleport him to just drop straight on his ass in front of your dad. &gt;:3

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">.. that is so damn evil I might just do it. XP

Hakutaku:<font color="#FF0000">D: Teeny Rin:<font color="#FF0000">&gt;:D

Saph:<font color="#CC6600">As we all know, the most evil metamagic is Invisible Spell.

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">WHOA. COLD CHILL.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Right, so it seems a scroll of teleport costs 1125 GP. Any crazy shopkeep I need to bother or just scroll get? :3

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">I can just picture it. Electric flash, Aelian is suddenly head-locked by a Lazarus. Rar: &quot;*SNIFF* ... *_*&quot; Aelian: D8

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">And then the return teleport cooks off.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">*Rae not Rar. Although Rawr would also work. *brick'd*

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">100 miles per caster level. Bajeezus. XP

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Smaller than you might think.

Saph:<font color="#CC6600">Well, it is the spell of choice for loong range travel. And when you consider the size of a planet or even a continent.

Saph:<font color="#CC6600">..

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Although, Akellon's map uses a small scale. A 900 mile teleport would get you almost anywhere.

Saph:<font color="#CC6600">Yeah, true.

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">I could go visit the sea dragon if I felt so inclined. XP

Saph:<font color="#CC6600">It's something like 6000 miles from the Equator to the Poles on Earth, though Akellonworld might be smaller (and younger, to stay tectonically active).

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">The trick is having checked out a spot long enough to get it anchored in your memory as a safe travel location. Teleporting all willy-nilly to spots you just happened to pass through and idly glance at is dangerous.

Saph:<font color="#CC6600">It's why Teleport Without Error is also a spell.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">It's why I had Renee do the silly investigation thing in the Claw barracks. Just making a point of kicking the location up to Very Familiar as a sort of manual exercise.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Also she wanted to rifle through people's shit.

Saph:<font color="#CC6600">Horse cavalry, o' course, has an entirely different perception of distance. And large armies, different again. It's time, not straight line distance, that matters in a pre-flight setting...

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Bob: MAH BALL. T_T

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">That's a spell Tathi would probably like, actually.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Lou used that in an old campaign a lot. Overland Flight.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Just fly all day, all the time. Kind of like Firali does.

Saph:<font color="#CC6600">It's part of why the Mongols were so potent at controlling their empire - if you messed with them, it was basically a week before ten thousand men on small ponies showed up and annihalated you.

Saph:<font color="#CC6600">annihilated... I think...

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Sorry sorry, vet calling.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Kitty now has an appointment to get vaccinated and stop the heat cycles. Yay!

* Liatai reads up.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Yay!

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">.... that is an evil plan. :B

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Scroll get, no finangling needed. :3

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

Teeny Rin:<font color="#FF0000">It was Renia-muse.

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">At a gesture, the new recuits start filing out of the room.

Alberic Ashmore:<font color="#000000">&quot;Speak, then, Inquisitor.&quot;

Hord:<font color="#A14D7F">Hord stops before going upstairs.

Hord:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Cousin, he wants them to deal with their problems 'like adults' instead of letting it fester. :o&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Perhaps it's a matter that isn't even my place to bring up.. but.. well. Considering the circumstances, I thought my word might carry some influence.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Wants who...&quot; He looks over his shoulder at Swallowtail &quot;... oh.&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Do you want to be the one to make sure they don't kill each other, Ed?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Sszeyl and I have spoken at length during the past few weeks, along our journey, and he has expressed interest in joining the Leaden Mace. Not whimsical uninformed interest, either. Like he has given it serious thought and comprehends the implications and duties and conduct that would be expected of him. ... Even brother Miron was introduced to the idea.&quot;

Primera:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;As if I would kill anyone over such a small issue.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Amazingly, he didn't completely damn the idea.&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;You are not a typical Dartani.&quot; Swallowtail still sounds snappish.

* Alberic Ashmore raises an eyebrow.

Primera:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;I try not to be. Considering I am not technically a citizen.&quot;

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">So. How jumpy is Swallowtail? ;3

Alberic Ashmore:<font color="#000000">&quot;... were it not for your upstanding honesty and commendable dedication to accurate reports thus far, I would ask you to repeat such a statement under a truth spell. Inquisitor Steelsprocket did not completely damn the idea of a drow?&quot; ... Was that a joke?

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">She's a ninja.

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">HOLY SHITBALLS

* Thomas Lazarus pauses. &quot;I don't know what the usual protocol for this type of situation would be. If there even is any.&quot; He offers a nervous smile.

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;A slave, then. Who is your master, and why are you here?&quot;

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">THOMAS TAKE A PICTURE

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">She's liable to vanish and leave you with thirty-seven stab wounds in the chest in the blink of an eye.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Do not provoke her.

Primera:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;My master is the Lord of Illyria, Grandee to His Majesty.&quot;

Primera:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;And he has bidden me to leave him and his estate for ever.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Admittedly, it took quite a bit of discussion. But they established rapport with each other. Talk of Orgollyos and philosophy. They actually haven't been spatting. Nearly as much as they once did, anyways.&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">Le sit. :3

Alberic Ashmore:<font color="#000000">&quot;The lieutenant commander will be pleased to hear that.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">Helpity help. :3

Saph:<font color="#CC6600">Ooh, there's an interesting juxtaposition. Illyria, named for the western Balkans, and the term Grandee, usually used in the context of the Persian Empire.

* Dr. Hatari has to check the spelling of Orgolloyss every god damn time. He always thinks, &quot;Is that right? That sounds like a cereal.&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Orgolloy-Os. :B

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Cannot unsee. XD

Saph:<font color="#CC6600">Llanfairpwllgwyngyll-gogerychwyrndrobwll-llantysilio-gogogoch

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;For all I know, it's tenetive. He has been under generous stress, lately. ... I believe he's very personally concerned about the welfare of his friends in Yoriver.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">We stay crunchy in cereal.

Saph:<font color="#CC6600">Station.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;The prospect that we could be ... you know.&quot;

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">No whammies no whammies no whammies-

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&#171; &#160;1d20+14 = 8 + 14 = 22&#160; <font color="#0000FF">&#187; spellcraft! -5 if its necromancy or illusion, +2 if it's evocation!

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Holy bajeezus that was too close.

* Swallowtail folds her arms, looking over Primera coldly. Her expression says &quot;continue.&quot;

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Now, as for overland flight? I am very much tempted, but isn't gnogglebolt cooking up some mass transportation thing?

Primera: <font color="#a14d7f">(( Yes. :o ))

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Yes, but, Overland Flight is actually slow.

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Yeah, don't wanna step on his toes. Really, the only reason I got teleport? Quick back and forth between home. :3

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Like, 40ft move per round. But you can do it all day.

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">hour per level.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">In actual practice, Lou just used it as permanent flight.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">For tactical purposes, it was very handy.

Alberic Ashmore:<font color="#000000">&quot;... regardless... it is Leaden Mace policy that we cannot accept applicants with, shall we say, spiritual tagalongs.&quot;

Saph:<font color="#CC6600">By comparison, a light horse is 60 feet per round in a walk, and can manage nine hours walk per day with only one endurance check.

Alberic Ashmore:<font color="#000000">&quot;If he is invested in joining our organization, he must first be rid of the corrupting influence of the spirit. This is not up for debate.&quot;

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Welp.. I think it'd be proper for Tathi to bring it up to the group. ;)

* Thomas Lazarus nods once. &quot;..I understand.&quot;

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">For now? Hard core trolling time.

Alberic Ashmore:<font color="#000000">&quot;When he is free of the spirit's influence, should he still possess an interest in joining the Leaden Mace, his application will be reviewed at that time.&quot;

Alberic Ashmore:<font color="#000000">&quot;You may inform him as to such.&quot;

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

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">So there's Swallowtail staring daggers at the kitty-man, when suddenly there's an audible woosh of wind from right above her and incoming elf!

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

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;!!!!&quot; &#171; &#160;1d20+8 = 8 + 8 = 16&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; attack roll as a tessen is unfolded with a snap--

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">Ouch. &#171; &#160;1d6+1+1d6 = 1 + 1 + 1 = 3&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; damage if it hits.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I fell down the stairs.&quot;

Primera:<font color="#A14D7F">Sigh. &quot;The sword came to me as a reward for protecting his lordship from a reprisal from some-&quot; The cat pauses while Swallowtail is assaulted by elves.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;He fell down the stairs.&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">... This tessen FAILS. DX I need to get it blessed!

Primera:<font color="#A14D7F">Lucky. =3=

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">It doesn't. XP

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">It still leaves a crackle of electricity in the air as Swallowtail leaps back into a ready stance.

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Are the other elves with her?

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Owwww. Hi.&quot; #^^#;;;

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">Thankfully, no, that'd be some serious falling damage. They're coming along.

Teeny Rin:<font color="#FF0000">You can't catch Tathi if she's on fire.

Teeny Rin:<font color="#FF0000">Or if you're on fire.

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">Barbarus prest.'s a sign with a 4 on it.

Saph:<font color="#CC6600">So, it hit, right? I think that's what happened, but it looks like someone thinks it missed...

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Nice surprise, but it has been done to death.&quot;

* Swallowtail folds up her tessen... then grabs Tathi's shoulders and starts shaking them, jabbering in Amayan the whole time. &quot;(What did you do?! I could have killed you! Never do that again! How did you even do that, where did you come from -- )&quot; &gt;:O

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

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Oh hush I - eek!&quot; She starts, and then gets bobbled around like it's on sale or something. (&quot;Swallowtail! Swallowtail! Experiemental spell!&quot;)

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;(Don't do that again!)&quot; &gt;:O

Saph:<font color="#CC6600">Methinks that trolling would have gone better if the person doing it could regenerate - like, say, a troll.

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">And that's right about when the others arrive, just in time to catch that scene. &quot;Sooo.. Sort of a success?&quot; Aelian asks, smirking.

* Swallowtail rounds on Aelian. &quot;You! You put her up to this?!&quot; &gt;:O

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;I- what.&quot; o.o

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Upstairs, Ana.&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;She nearly squish me! I nearly slash her!&quot; &gt;:O

Anaqualia:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Yes, sir.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;No no no, I was trying to teleport upstairs to the bedroom, but.. ah ha! I see how it works.&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">o.o;; &quot;Well, uh, I hope everyone's allright now?&quot;

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">and it didn't hit.. even her flatfooted is 17. VERY close. XP

Saph:<font color="#CC6600">Oh, okay.

Alberic Ashmore:<font color="#000000">&quot;Were there any other matters you wished to discuss with me prior to reviewing these reports?&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;No it is not all right, I could have killed her!&quot; DX

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi stands up, dusting herself off. &quot;Yes, yes, we're fine. A bit of a fright and a bump, and I think I can safely teleport now.&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Very good.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Just need to make a few adjustments. Ha! And here I was afraid I'd arrive naked!&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;Killing a person you owe a life-debt to is not good karma! At all!&quot; D: Primera:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Unless they take action to deserve it.&quot;

Saph:<font color="#CC6600">Depends on if you can find their next turn of the wheel, while you're still on this one.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi giggles softly, and pats Swallowtail's shoulder. &quot;Oh come. No harm done. I'm fine, you're fine, next time I'll just teleport you to the ceiling instead.&quot; She says, smirking.

* Swallowtail smacks the back of Tathi's head lightly. &quot;Do not do that again!&quot; DX

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi winces at the hit.. and gives Swallowtail a glare. Uh oh.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">... and then Swallowtail's hair, clothes, and even weapons all turn baby blue. Dammit Tathi.

* Swallowtail is pallete-swapped! D: Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;No, sir. ... Well. Mostly.&quot; He hooks a thumb around his chain necklace holding a cask of diamond dust and lifts it. &quot;I had a lot of occasion to exercise Pelor's power on the journey. Apparently I'm now one of His agents carrying the duty and burden of being able to raise the dead. I am at the Mace's service.&quot;

* Liatai is brick'd.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">She grins, and heads upstairs.

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">Barbarus colours her back. |3

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&gt;:|

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I believe all other details are well accounted for on parchment.&quot;

Primera:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;As I was saying.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Whoa!&quot; Tathi starts as she heads up the stairs.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Er, sorry, is there a meeting up her-.. oh. That was a meeting down there, wasn't it?&quot;

* Alberic Ashmore raises an eyebrow, then nods. &quot;A heavy responsibility. The gods would not have granted it to you were you not capable of bearing it. Carry it with pride.&quot;

Ceowulf:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Yes.&quot;

* Swallowtail huffs. &quot;Yes. Continue.&quot;

Ceowulf:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;The sir and Edaric remained below to ensure the two did not kill each other.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;.. So who wants to go see my new house? I can get us back tonight.&quot; :3

* Thomas Lazarus bows slightly. &quot;I will, Commander. Thank you.&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Um.. Tathi? Is it really safe? After that little mishap?&quot;

Asgrim:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Sure!&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Of course! I know -exactly- what went wrong.&quot;

Araian:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;I'm game.&quot;

Hlis:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Of course, darling~&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Saving the Zairith trolling for later, I see? :P *brick'd*

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;I think. Oh well, life's an adventure!&quot;

Teeny Rin:<font color="#FF0000">The problem steps from I Don't Know What The Fuck I'm Doing.jpg

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Oh he's getting his soon enough. :3

Primera:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;The sword was a gift from my lord, in return for stopping an assassination attempt which was a reprisal from some military action he had taken, I was not informed of the particulars.&quot;

Primera:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;The assassin carried the sword, and now I do. One and twenty of your countrymen came to take it back, and they did not prevail.&quot;

Primera:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;My lord dismissed me, that I bring no more death to his house.'

Saph:<font color="#CC6600">But if the twenty were countrymen, who was the one? /brick

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Right, so, if everyone links hands, I should be able to teleport the whole lot of us. I know the location very well, so the chance of mishap is very small. If it does mishap, well, I'm sure we'll end up in a tree somewhere.&quot; :3

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Not very reassuring..&quot; ^^;;;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;You coming or not, dork?&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Yes, yes, of course.&quot;

Teeny Rin:<font color="#FF0000">Did she mention the part where there's a three percent chance of your HAVING YOUR EYEBALLS MISPLACED INTO YOUR BUTT?

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Allright, ready? Here we go..&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&#171; &#160;1d100 = 22&#160; <font color="#0000FF">&#187;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">WOOSH. Right outside the treehouse.

Primera:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;I will have you know, I walked through Largiza -and- Amaya before I came to this country.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi immediately bounces up and down, giggling happily. &quot;I did it! Perfect! We just crossed miles in an instant!&quot;

Primera:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;I have no issue with your country, or you.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Holy shit what are you people doing h- *brick'd*

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">o3o

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">A moment later, she recomposes herself- hey! Where's that elf she was hanging out with earlier? :P

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;... small wonder. You carry one of the treasures of the Dovrei family, the house of the emperors three before the current royal family of Sua Maest&#224; Imperiale e Reale Basilo Fenice di Mare e Tempesta III.&quot; Swallowtail makes a brief sign with one hand. &quot;You are a target.&quot;

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">She's fresh off the plateau.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">She has no need to rush. :3

Saph:<font color="#CC6600">You know what spell is perfect for pranks? Mass Teleport. There are two upgrades to it from Teleport. 1: More weight. 2: The caster doesn't need to go along.

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;You are also not a natural Dartani. This is a point in your favor.&quot;

Primera:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;And to counter it...&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Anyway, welcome to my home! Come on in, and have a look around. Don't mind any fey if you see them, my home is open to them.&quot;

Primera:<font color="#A14D7F">The man removes his glasses, and you see a ghostly glow coming out of his eyes.

Primera:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;A spirit marches within me.&quot;

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Not going to token move, but quick check with the DM, any fey up in there? :3

* Swallowtail raises an eyebrow.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">None currently.

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">My first thought was 'mass teleport' sounds kind of silly.. teleport apparently has no limit to number of vict- er, targets. :P

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;... you are pactbound. This does not change anything.&quot;

Saph:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;You can bring along objects as long as their weight doesn&#8217;t exceed your maximum load. &quot;

Primera:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Not pact. This spirit has been with me ever.&quot;

Saph:<font color="#CC6600">For a Wiz, that might be a substantial limitation.

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;All have spirits.&quot;

Saph:<font color="#CC6600">If you need to move an elephant, either you need someone with Str 30 or so, or a Mass Teleport.

Primera:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Few have spirits willing to impose on the physical world.&quot;

Primera:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;But I digress.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi takes them on a lovely little tour then! &quot;- and that's the main dining room, and right up here we've got our room, and rooms for guests too! Now even further up is my study and storeroom, and then in HERE is what I plan to be the meeting room for SEEDS.&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;This does not change a thing. I am bound by duty to tell my master of the location of Deici Draghi.&quot;

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Well.. unless the elephant is willing, apparently.

Hlis:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Such a lovely decor~&quot;

Araian:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;The tree's so big. :O&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">There are creature limits on standard teleport. :.

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;You are not my target unless the master commands.&quot;

Asgrim:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Does it rock in the wind? :.&quot;

Saph:<font color="#CC6600">True, true. But I'd imagine a Wizard intending to teleport a dozen elephants with all of them carrying their maximum load would be told &quot;no, half of them don't want to go.&quot;

Primera:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Very good.&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Gotta deal with that crap constantly with Renee.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Oh only the outer branches. It's very soothing. Now, the tree had to be treated in an old ritual to become this size. It's part of an elven home, you see. I kind've wish Miacherry was about. Delightful little fey blood, that one.&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;You may also bring one additional willing Medium or smaller creature (carrying gear or objects up to its maximum load) or its equivalent (see below) per three caster levels.&quot; It's actually incredibly restrictive and forces us to do bag of holding bullshit to even move the whole party at once.

Saph:<font color="#CC6600">Ah, that was it.

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;If you story is true, Dartani, a lone person will not be risked. But we will see.&quot;

Saph:<font color="#CC6600">...wait, how many people got moved by that teleport?

Primera:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;If it is, you are welcome to try.&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">A number you don't need to be concerned with right now. :B

Saph:<font color="#CC6600">I suspect that spell was designed to be able to juuuust take the standard four person party when it can be learned.

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Crap. Too many. XP Oh well! Aelian got a ride in the bag of holding.

Primera:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;The sword answers to me, for now.&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">I HAVE RANDOM OBJECTS IN MY EVERYTHING. &gt;:O

Primera:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;If you and yours can beat me, it may answer to them again.&quot;

Araian:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;You're lucky. :p&quot;

Saph:<font color="#CC6600">http://www.d20srd.org/srd/variant/magic/rechargeMagic.htm

Saph:<font color="#CC6600">Interesting variant - sort of like an MMO... you can see the seeds of 4th ed.

Araian:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;This place is really warm. My place back home is so drafty.&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">IRC please. &gt;.&gt;

Saph:<font color="#CC6600">Sorry.

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Tom's been in there a long time.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;I can only imagine! All that snow! And sometimes year round? Seems crazy, but home is home!&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">I've been awkwardly standing here sweating bullets waiting to be dismissed for like a half-hour. {:3;;;; *brick'd*

Alberic Ashmore:<font color="#000000">&quot;Very well. I will set to reviewing this report straight away. Dismissed, Inquisitor Lazarus -- you may wish to inform your fellow inquisitors of your return. Should further clarification be required or news be recieved, you will be contacted.&quot; The DM was typing. XP

Alberic Ashmore:<font color="#000000">&quot;Ask Inquisitor Steelsprocket to deliver his report as well, should you see him before we do.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Yes, sir. I'll keep an eye out.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus salutes once more, somewhat more laxly, and departs.

Aldura:<font color="#000000">Yip! :D

* Aldura bounces around Tom's legs.

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">And steps on the puppy.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">I HATE PUPPIES &gt;:E

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">And then, tour done, a le teleport back! &#171; &#160;1d100 = 86&#160; <font color="#0000FF">&#187;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">... say, where is Railock? :.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Is he about still? ^^;

Tathi: <font color="#ff">(( I was hoping for similiar area, silly enough. POOF, right in ashmore's office. XP ))

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">I have no idea.

* Gamal-Junayd nods at thomas as he comes back, form moving the latest box wherver

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">There he is.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Apparently everyone in the hostel was just waiting for me. ^^;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">Not really. :B

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">POP. She doesn't land on Swallowtail, this time. :3

Richter Malino:<font color="#000000">&quot;Thank you for all your help -- it's nice to have a warrior on hand to help move the heavy loads.&quot; ^^ &quot;We've been making do with Tenser's Floating Disc, mainly.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Right, here we are! Now to go drive a drow elf crazy.&quot; She says, and promptly heads out again.

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

</i>Liatai:<font color="#000000">:O

Liatai:<font color="#000000">It's a Tech! :O

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">:O

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;No problem, It made the time pass faster than just waiting around.&quot;

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

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">Aelian stays behind. ^^; &quot;So.. still a meeting going on?&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">kill it quick!

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;No, we are done. Unless the Dartani has more to say.&quot;

TMG:<font color="#000000">No full log now. I'll get it later

TMG:<font color="#000000">Quick, cliffnotes.

Primera:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;I don't.&quot;

TMG:<font color="#000000">What the hell has happened so far?

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">up for RP? Tathi's enroute to Zairith's place. :3

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">We're in Castleton. *jazz hands*

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">we have enough people to start a company after all hehe

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">HQ scene resolved.

TMG:<font color="#000000">(and what map(s) are people on?)

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Swallow/Primera scene resolved.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Leaden Mace Scene resolved.

TMG:<font color="#000000">...Okya, a LITTLE more detail than that please.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Seriously. It's actually been very fortunate to have three people gone. We've been pretty much drawing and quartering Liatai's attention.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">You wanted cliffnotes. :P

Ghostwish:<i><font color="#0000FF">Like a baws.

</i>Liatai:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt's been in the Madness Place and went off to see the new HQ with Elros in tow.

TMG:<font color="#000000">Alright, fine. In summary, but detailed, tell me what's happened since the game started.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">If everyone was here? We couldn't have even played a coherent game.

Saph:<font color="#CC6600">Lots of talking, no encounters.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;So what's next on your plan?&quot;

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

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">The party arrived back at Castleton. Went to old HQ. Gnogglebolt departed at this point with Elros in tow. Party went in, met Barbarus, got introduced to his new friends. Talking. Tom+Sszeyl+Gamal left to go to the Mace. Tathi learned teleport, took a few people out to her house via rapid transit. Just returned.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi heads for Zairith's place. RANDOM NOBLE ENCOUNTER 344- *brick'd*

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">That's about all the bullet points. You have missed no plot developments.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Ghost~

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">We started very late.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">It's noon ish.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">He won't be home until dusk.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">At earliest.

TMG:<font color="#000000">I would say meeting Barbarus and 'new friend' and the Mace visit is pretty big plot development, actually... &gt;.&gt;

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

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Then I am so painting his house pastel colors!

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

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">We said hellos.

Saph:<font color="#CC6600">It's quarter to three in the morning here... time zones yay.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">No, in-game. :o

TMG:<font color="#000000">oh, I see we have SaphAudience...

Saph:<font color="#CC6600">Yep.

Saph:<font color="#CC6600">And oh, right.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Well, Tathi hangs around until Dusk. :3

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

Saph:<font color="#CC6600">You guys are crazy... interesting crazy. Prestidigitation as a kind of graffiti spell...

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Plan? Heh..&quot;

TMG:<font color="#000000">Hey, on the irc, could someone Pastebin me a log from the beginning of the session to the point where Gnogglebolt let?

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

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Nothing really.&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">I'll try. Give me a few.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;So your done here?&quot;

Smoke:<font color="#000000">Galumph galumph galumph -- there's a huge racket of a dog running up and down the stairs excitedly. :D

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

Smoke:<font color="#000000">Woof! Woof!

Aldura:<font color="#000000">:o Play?!

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Well, done with official business, atleast. For now, anyways.&quot;

* Aldura bumps down the stairs.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">x3

TMG:<font color="#000000">So, the most people are at the Old HQ?

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

TMG:<font color="#000000">Okay. I'll hop in there in a minute

TMG:<font color="#000000">Gotta get focused.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I had mentioned your interest to the commander, Sszeyl.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Well, if business is all done, I think I'm going to head to the Talespinner and catch up on the recent news.&quot; :3

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Oh, thank you.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;He says he can only consider it after our.. ah.. 'business' has concluded with finality.&quot; He nods faintly at the amulet.

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Oh! I'll come!&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Probably a good idea, considering what's happened before.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Oh well.&quot;

Boddynock:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Oh, I'm so coming with!&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;To the tavern, away~!&quot; |D

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">Yaaaaaaaay!

* Thomas Lazarus looks back to Gamal. &quot;Investigations are still ongoing, so it'll probably be a couple weeks before we move out and strike up that work I mentioned.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;In the meantime, well.. we're in the countries most active adventuring hub.&quot; ^^; &quot;I don't know about you, but I'd love to just get lost for a while and take it easy.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Okay. Sounds like we'll have plenty of time to get my blades enchanted. You said you know someone who can enchant them?&quot;

Darroth Denbury:<font color="#000000">&quot;Wehell, there's a pair'a faces that haven't been seen around here for a while. How's life been treatin' yeh?&quot; Tavern scene can fade out if you like, or not. :3

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Okay. Now, what was the prank that Barbarus pulled on the new HQ, again? ^^;

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Getting better and better, and worse and worse.&quot; Aelian says.

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">And I'm just waiting for you to notice. :3

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">Cherry pie filling plus construction crew.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Plenty of places you could do that. But, the two I know can do it..&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;The Pelorite temple has a magic artisan as well as the Toris family. I was actually going to see him myself. Maybe Nathan can, too. Never checked.&quot;

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

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">roflroflrofl

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Alright, where's that darned pie-splatting catfolk?&quot; A familiar voice suddenly sounds from outside of the old HQ.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;They have a pawn shop they all stay at. I was going there next, if you would like to come.&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">Le wave. |D

Arato:<font color="#A14D7F">Fox in a chair!

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Such an awful mess, had to pay an extra tip--&quot; Gnogglebol stops when he enters. &quot;Oh, sorry, wrong building.&quot; And turns around and starts heading out without skipping a beat.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Sure, the sooner my blades are enchanted, the better I'll feel.&quot;

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

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Ahem.&quot;

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt stops outside, and slowly turns around.

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;In five.&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Four.&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Three~&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt pokes his head back in the door.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...Where'd all these people come from?&quot;

* Barbarus counts down the last two silently. |3

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

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Alright.&quot; He looks looks to the others. &quot;Richter, Cadamon. I'll see ya'll later. Jim, good to meet you. Ms. Frostweave.&quot; He nods.

Ceowulf:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;We are Sir Barbarus' new recruits.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Ah...huh. I...see.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">Ready to vworp back? :o

GM:<font color="#000000">SUDDENLY.

GM:<font color="#000000">A hat approaches!

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt steps inside, looking around oddly at all the strange new faces.

Smoke:<font color="#000000">Well, first a dog, then a hat, then a human. :B

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

Smoke:<font color="#000000">See! See! :D

Hlis:<font color="#A14D7F">The dwarf woman with huge...tracts of land...waves to Gnoggle.

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">&quot;Tom!&quot; |D

Hlis:<font color="#A14D7F">And winks.

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

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Hey there, Flint. How're you?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;How's the hunting, Flint?&quot;

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">&quot;Good to see you back in one piece! Sszeyl, same, and --&quot; He tilts the brim of his hat up. &quot;... Who's the mummy?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Ah...so. You're all the people Barbarus found, then? Um...remind me again, recruited for what purpose, Barbarus?&quot; Gnogglebolt doesn't seem to notice the dwarf woman specifically just yet, too much to take in at the moment.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot; Why does everyone call him that? What's a mummy? =w=;&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;My name is Gamal-Junayd.&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Expanding our Guardian membership.&quot;

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">&quot;Comparatively quiet. Waiting for the other shoe to drop on the sixth.&quot; He peers over at Gamal...

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;It so happens that some have goals parallel to ours. |3&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Warrior fellow we met while working for the great dragoness.&quot;

Primera:<font color="#A14D7F">The huge catfolk waves to Gnogglebolt with a pleasant smile.

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">&quot; Too bad mummy doesn't start with G... &quot; &gt;:\

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;He's good. Uses two swords, like you. He could probably beat me into the ground without magic going full-tilt, though.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus shakes his head. ^^;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Ah yes, that. Hmm...&quot; Gnogglebolt puts on a pleasant smile (I typed it first, I swear!). &quot;Barbarus, could we talk upstairs breifly? Just had a few things I wanted to ask you about what's been going on, what with us being away for a month.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus folds his arms and looks to Gamal.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..Say, what do you call that, anyways?&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Sure~&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">'Call what?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;If you're going to keep being humble and denying being called 'good'.&quot; |3

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Is that a particular style, or something? Or are you just incredibly fast and that's that?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt drops his pleasant smile once they get upstairs, but he doesn't adopt a disapproving frown. Just looking normally neutral. &quot;Where'd everyone else go? I kinda...lost it again for a few hours there. I see one of the elfdogs is still here...&quot;

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">&quot; Humble doesn't start with G either... &quot; &gt;:\ Processing...

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">You forgetful hat. &gt;:O

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Sszeyl, Tom, and Gamal went to the Mace.&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Ed, Al, and one of my boys went to the Talespinner.&quot;

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">&quot;... Well, I'm probably gonna need to ask you your name again later, until I come up with something. But nice to meet you.&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Tathi, despite advice to not go off alone, went off alone.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;It is a mixture of styles really...the constant offense of fire style my fathers people taught me, witht he mobility of wind's style I learned from my mother and uncle.&quot;

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

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Nice to meet you as well, sir.&quot;

Saph:<font color="#CC6600">The way of the Scorching Winds?

Anise Berilan:<font color="#000000">&quot;OI! Stop blockin' the stairs! There'll be time to party later!&quot;

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">You said during the full moon. :P

Liatai:<font color="#000000">This is the full moon. ^^;

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">It -is- the full moon.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">The 1st to the 3rd of every Kellon month is the full moon.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;And I combined the movements into a dance. A blade dance if you will&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">he has...no book of nine swords feats or class levels actually

* Flint Carthan snaps! &quot;Graceful! That'll work for a blade dancer.&quot; |3

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Would you like to retcon some company?

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">an item he just picked up, but other than that...nothing

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Ana or Ara would be happy to go with.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Hah. I see. You should coin your own name for it. Fire and wind styles, huh?&quot;

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Maybe even Hliss. :3

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Maybe Sirocco style?&quot;

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

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Sirocco?&quot;

Saph:<font color="#CC6600">Ooh, nice word! (It's a hot wind from the desert)

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Um, yeah, a little company. ^^;;

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">Sorry drinkin' buddy!

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt glances to the staircase, and drops his voice a few notches. &quot;And...um...not that I'm totally opposed to the idea of our group expaniding, but...why couldn't you have waited until we got back so we could all talk it over? Also...where are you planning to house them? I hope you didn't intend the new place...there';s enough rooms now, but once I've got my workshop and apprentices set up, I'd really rather not have to kick anyone out...&quot; Gnogglebolt speaks with a more apologietic voice at the end, than accusing.

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">&quot;-- Anise is right, though. I'm headed downstairs. Catch you later?&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Crud. Phonecall. Brb.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Perhaps/ but first, I need to perfect it, and prove it is a viable style.&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Here.&quot;

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">&quot;C'mon, Smoke.&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;I have transferred the rent for this place to myself.&quot;

Smoke:<font color="#000000">Aw...

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt glances around. &quot;...You'll probably have to get a few more beds. But...ah, okay.&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Until I can talk to the merchant district property manager to purchase a premesis near the HQ.&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Perhaps somewhere where Ara can sell his ice cream year round.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;I just wish you would have included the entire group in this beforehand, if they're supposed to be an expansion to the group.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;But, oh well. Take 'em as they come. I suppose I should get to know them, huh?&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;I was, giving Sszeyl daily reports.&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;He responded that hardly anyone was even interested, given the events going over there.&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;And speaking of that.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...Well, obviously, we were all a bit preoccupied with some matters a little more wieghty than membership.&quot;

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

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;The catflolk peers at Gnoggle with his 'bad' eye, which is now a round gemstone set in his vacant socket, which changes color constantly.

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;How are you doing?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Perfect it? Sheesh. You were putting out more devastation than Tathi. While holding back and not even killing with the bladed edges. And without magic blades, no less. I would hate to stand against what you consider a perfected fighting style.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Just...try and wait for everyone else to be around and present, in body and mind, before making such a huge leap, okay? Is that a reasonable thing to ask?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">To Flint, &quot;Sure thing. Maybe later tonight?&quot; he calls.

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">&quot;Sounds good!&quot;

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">&quot;Bring your stories!&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;And I'm doing well enough. No thanks to your fiasco on the construction workers.&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Perhaps if you and yours hadn't done the same with two new recruits.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;My blades are magic (+1), just a little to help me aim. And a perfected fighting style..is one that keeps you alive long enough to retire, and teach it in old age.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt doesn't sound irritated, just matter-of-fact

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Congratulations on the sister getting married thing, by the way.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Well, we ain't dead yet.&quot; |3 He looks to Sszeyl.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...She's not married yet...&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Yet being the key word.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">On so many levels. |3

Liatai:<font color="#000000">I had to double-take. :B

TMG:<font color="#000000">so did I. xD

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Pardon dragging you out here and boring you in the hall. I guess the commander just wanted some peace of mind.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;You can take to anything you please, now.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Did you remember to close the door so he didn't get disturbed by our banter?&quot;

Richter Malino:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yes, hopefully, next time you come here, the archives will be in a state where guests can read from them.&quot; ^^;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...SHankfang and Gamal were people who we bonded through tial by fire with, and it wasn't like we were looking for 'recruits', they just...happened across us.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;It was no problem. I got some exercise helping move books while I waited. Always good to stretch your muscles without any chance of danger.&quot;

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

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Well. I'm gonna -- ohh right.&quot; He looks aside.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;This was deliberate. But, eh. I can't make you do anything. Was just a suggestion to be sure to check wtih everyone before making decions like this in fthe future. Do it or not, can't change it either way. I don't want to turn this into a fight. Was just a thought.&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Same with me. I -was- looking for recruits, and happened to find people who genuinely needed my help.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Be right back. Then we can head off to the Pearldust and look into some enchantment.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Tom heads downstairs.

* Gamal-Junayd heads down as well

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Not one of those people are ones who came here because it would be fun.&quot;

* Landon Skar offers a nod of acknowledgement.

Landon Skar:<font color="#000000">&quot;Welcome back.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Which I suppose I should familiarize myself with. No time like the present. Shall we?&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Ceowulf was about to by lynched, Anaqualia was about to be murded by the same bastard who took my arm..&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus returns the nod. &quot;Thank you.&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Very well, let's go. But the one you'll be interested in isn't here yet.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt raises an eyebrow. &quot;Ah. Wow. Heavy.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;....The one I'll be 'interested' in?&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;A gnome fellow.&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Seems to know you by proxy through a Kaerka?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I just remembered. I was about to have my weapon enchanted and expect it to take a long time. A business partner, as well. Am I free to take some blades out on loan from the armory?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt's eyebrows raise further. &quot;Indeed!&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Well! That is something.&quot;

* Landon Skar nods. &quot;You have your key?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt heads back for downstairs.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Yep.&quot; He fishes around for a bit.

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">Vworp vworp.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">..And a bit longer.. :9

Gamal-Junayd whispers: how long is it before teh festival?

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&#171; &#160;1d2 = 1&#160; <font color="#FF0000">&#187;

* Thomas Lazarus checks the other part of his coat. {:9

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt has a genuinely pleasant smile as he returns down the stairs. &quot;Well, a proper hello to all of you, then!&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus produces key. |3

Hord:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Howdy!&quot;

Ceowulf:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Well met.&quot;

Eirik:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Yo.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;I'm sure you've all met the others in our little troupe, and you've all been formally welcomed in and all that greatness, hough it seems I've missed out on the introductions.&quot;

Landon Skar:<font color="#000000">&quot;Light enchantments are in the lockbox. Enchanted weapons can be taken out for three days at a time. You can renew the contract after three days. Other weapons may be loaned for up to two weeks at a stretch unless you are given permission by the commander to keep them.&quot;

Landon Skar:<font color="#000000">... apparently the way to get him talking is to talk weapons. :B

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;He also needs convincing you're not here for the hell of it. |3&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus investigates the dungeon.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;And I never like to miss being introduced to new, interesting people.&quot; Gnogglebolt grins. &quot;So! First off, as you might have already been told, I am Gnogglebot Sparkgear of Mazio.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Whoah, a mini-map appeared. :O

* Thomas Lazarus goes through and collects a trio of occupied scabbards.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;I'm a crafter of complex devices by trade, and I primarily journey with the rest of the group as support, backup, and some little tactical planning.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;So! Let's go around the table, could you all please tell me who you are and a little bit about yourself?&quot; :3

Anaqualia:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;I am the newest addition. I shall start.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus unsheathes and examines the blades briefly before threading an arm through the straps of all three and climbing back out.

* Landon Skar calls through the open door, &quot;Make sure you lock everything again.&quot;

Anaqualia:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;I am Anaqualia. I was sent here from Meilocha on the Metora Plateau to investigate your drow friend, and Madame Tathi's endevor.&quot;

Anaqualia:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;I was nearly murdered recently by the Elf-Drinker, Sir Barbarus prevented it.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">There's a pause and some backpedaling and re-locking before Thomas appears. :B

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh, indeed? Well, I hope he comes to your approv--oh, my! Well, I am certainly glad you are well and safe.&quot;

Landon Skar:<font color="#000000">| )

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Thanks. These should be just fine during the interim. Just a precaution if we have some occasion to defend ourselves or serve suddenly.&quot;

* Landon Skar nods.

Anaqualia:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Appreciated. Next.&quot;

Eirik:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;I shall take it up.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Thomas offers Gamal a pair of masterwork sheathed scimitars.

* Landon Skar takes a book out of his pocket and writes something in it.

* Gamal-Junayd takes them with a nod &quot;Thank you, I'll feel safer with blades at my side, and it will allow me to keep up wiht my practices&quot;

Eirik:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;I am Eirik, I was a guardian for some anchorites on a pilgrimidge that was destroyed.&quot;

Eirik:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Sir Barbarus recruited me, as he had already recruited two clerics, and asked me to keep them alive in their endevors.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;It's a good idea in general in this city. Especially if you look foreign. And you do. No disrespect.&quot;

Eirik:<font color="#A14D7F">He indicates the dwarf woman, and the orange-armored man across the table.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Why would a fact be disrespect?&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus waves over his shoulder before stepping out.

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Eh.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;My hands are more deadly than most swords.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;A fair point. But some people I have met take offense... easily.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;So I can't empathize. I'm sorry.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;You also got lit on fire when you went to buy paint supplies.&quot;

TMG whispers: Can you check my roleplay real quick?

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Paint supplies? who'd light someone on fire buying paint?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;High elves.&quot;

TMG whispers: I want to say...something like this, but I don't think I'm conveying the right feeling. Problem is, I'm not quite sure what feeling I want to convey.

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

TMG whispers: Gnogglebolt frowns sympathetically, rubbing his chin. &quot;I am sorry for your misfortune, and glad to have your support. I hope we will be able to return the same.&quot;

TMG whispers: want to say something optimistic about his future with us without making it seem like condeceding or putting him down for his failure when solo

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">I smell a wall-o-text coming off Tech. :O

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..Most of the elves we've met have been very open-minded and polite in regards to Sszeyl. But there's still a pretty big racial stigma between surface and underdark elves. He got attacked once. (Or twice.)&quot;

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Brace yourselves!

TMG:<font color="#000000">(actually, no. Whispers. ^^; )

You whisper to TMG: Looks okay to me.

Eirik:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Next.&quot;

Ragnar:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;I'll go next!&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt frowns sympathetically, rubbing his chin. &quot;I am sorry for your misfortune, and glad to have your support. I hope we will be able to return the same.&quot;

You whisper to TMG: You may want to change the last sentence to &quot;I hope we'll be able to support you as well.&quot;

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

TMG:<font color="#000000">ah, nevermindl

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Then perhaps you should carry a weapon after all. Even if you don't use it. IT might deter attacks, as people are less likely to attack someone armed.&quot;

Teeny Rin:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I'm a busy man. Have your followers contact my followers. We'll talk. Ciao.&quot;

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">I'm around. lemme know when it's dusk. :3

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Perhaps so. Somehow, though, I feel that's not Sszeyl's &quot;style&quot;.&quot; =w=;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Copyin' Mace group to the Pearldust...

Ragnar:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;I'm Ragnar. I was a warrior for my village, but recently had to take to caring for my grandmother. She had the palsy, and couldn't take care of herself anymore. Well, she's past it now...but told me she didn't always have it. That when she was young, a mean-spirited cleric Inflicted it upon her. It inspired me to go out and help people who had been suffering like her. Sir Barbarus just gave me a direction so I didn't get myself killed. ^^;&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;He even brought that crazy woman who lit him on fire a bouqet of flowers after the fact.&quot;

TMG:<font color="#000000">wait--going to talk to Nathaniel already? Crap! Gnogglebolt wanted to be there. -3-

Saermund:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;I will go next, if no one minds.&quot;

TMG:<font color="#000000">Oh well... :(

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Actually that was not their plan.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">But it may happen in passing.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">We're going magic item shopping.

Gamal-Junayd whispers: theres a LOL in blue up at the top of the map

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">:3

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">And the Ebonwood is closed.

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

Gamal-Junayd whispers: and words. looks like ghost trolling

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

* Dr. Hatari vworps.

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Which one did you find this time? ;3

Liatai:<font color="#000000">The LOL, and Clint, and Fazzy. XP

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt nods to Ragnar. &quot;Indeed, most of us who've already formed our group have banded together for similar reasons.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Tom enters the Pearldust and knocks a few times on the open door. :3

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;An' then we rode their pirate ship!&quot; :O

Vira Toris:<font color="#000000">&quot;Woooooow!&quot; :O

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;-- Mr. Tom!&quot; :D

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Don't listen to anything she says, it was totally safe the entire time.&quot;

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

* Matthew Toris laughs!

Saermund:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;I'm Saermund, a ranger.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Definatly. Nothing there was any sort of real challenge.&quot;

Matthew Toris:<font color="#000000">&quot;Truth be told, we sent her with you to help keep you all safe.&quot; |3

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Definatly. Nothing there was any sort of real challenge.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus smiles.

Saermund:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;I had been hunting a thieving party of goblins, when I walked into an ambush. Evidently I'm not as stealthy as I would like.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Hello again. It's wonderful to see you all again.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...A theiving party of...how long ago was that?&quot;

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

* Matthew Toris is sitting on the floor next to Terri, and hugs his daughter. &quot;And did you remember to brush your teeeeeeth?&quot; :P

Saermund:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Sir Barbarus happened to be in the tunnels at the time, and leant a hand, then offered me a place here, that I wouldn't be alone in such a situation again.&quot;

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

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Knockidy knock, knock knock on the pawn shop. :3

Ceowulf:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;He had help.'

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;Daaaaaad! Of course I did!&quot; |3

Saermund:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Oh about...a month and two weeks?&quot;

* Gamal-Junayd whispers to thomas &quot;Terri and max live here? how many of them are...the same?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh, it must have been recently...&quot; Gnogglebolt gives a worried sideways glance at Barbarus, one that says please tell me it wasn't the ones we know

* Tharky waves. :3

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Terri, did you show them the paintings yet?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">*one that silently says

* Thomas Lazarus gives Gamal a raised-brow look to the effect of, 'your guess is as good as mine'.

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;... nooooo....&quot; &gt;.&gt;;

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

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

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I even reminded you aboard the ship, missy.&quot;

Vira Toris:<font color="#000000">&quot;Mr. Sszeyl gave you paintings?&quot; :o &quot;Can I see?&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Knock knock?

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hey! I brushed my teeth!&quot; D: Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">GET YOUR WHITE ASS IN HERE, WOMAN.

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;I just didn't show the pictures!&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Oh. Alright then.&quot; |3

Nathaniel Toris:<font color="#000000">&quot;This is an open business, Tathi.&quot; |3

* Thomas Lazarus waves to the elves and dawg.

* Gamal-Junayd got swamped by aelion and moves out of the way

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Hello everyone! Waiting for a silly elf, and thought I'd pass by here to pass the time.&quot;

Saermund:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;If you're curious, they were buried outside the east wall of the city.&quot;

Nathaniel Toris:<font color="#000000">&quot;To answer your question, Gamal-Junayd... we are all. Exempting young Tharkiel, of course.&quot;

Saermund:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;And no, they weren't wearing red.&quot;

Saph:<font color="#CC6600">This is all gloriously &quot;noodle incident&quot; to me.

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

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Ah..&quot; he looks embarressed that his whisper got overheard and bows to them all. &quot;It is a pleasure to make your aquantence, sir.&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">I can imagine.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt, with seemingly not so much as a nod or headshake from Barbarus, looks back to Saermund. &quot;Oh, you were told about that alread?&quot;

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

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

Saermund:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Your other friend asked.&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">I'm not the one you should be asking, since I'm not the one you're talking to.

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">:B

TMG:<font color="#000000">Then you missed my line, meany

Saermund:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Hlis, would you like to go next?&quot;

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">No, I didn't.

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

Nathaniel Toris:<font color="#000000">&quot;Are you here on business, or merely to pass the time? You are more than welcome in either case.&quot; The old man smiles warmly.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Gnoggle was having a conversation with someone who was there, he should be asking them. :B

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;A bit of business brought me here. Although it is wonderful to see you all.&quot; :3

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;So then we rode into Resca on the Sahuagin Queen...&quot;

TMG:<font color="#000000">It was meant to be a 'silent' question, a sideways glance, not spoken aloud. Understandable only to those with context.

TMG:<font color="#000000">Ah well. Continue. :U

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Well, I was going to ask...&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;The same, I have buisness, and thomas brought me here as a place where it might be conducted. Didn't even know you had a shop.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Are any of you here enchanters? (:3&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Merely to pass the time, if that's allright, although I may have a bit of business with you, Elder Toris, though not of the enchanting kind. The information kind!&quot;

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

Hlis:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Sure,&quot; the dwarf woman replies in her sultry tone.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Just the man I wanted to see.&quot; 83

Brian:<font color="#000000">&quot;Unless you're referring to the school of magic, and not to the enchantment of weapons and armor.&quot;

* Brian casts a scrutinous eye over Tom's armor.

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;The schoool, unfortunately. (:3&quot;

Brian:<font color="#000000">&quot;Then no.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">It's in excellent shape for someone without access to cop-out arcane cleaning spells.

Max:<font color="#000000">&quot;I'm probably the closest thing here. What's up?&quot;

Hlis:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;I am Hlis, of the Redridge Mountains. I am here because I was falsely accused of murdering my...dear...husband.&quot;

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

Brian:<i><font color="#000000">Acceptable.

</i><font color="#000000"> *brick'd*

Hlis:<font color="#A14D7F">You can practically feel the venom in those last two words.

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

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;May I talk shop with you in a bit?&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;If you can enchant weaponry..you would be the one I need to speak to then.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Well, I was wondering if creating an entirely new type of magical item. (:3&quot;

Brian:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yes,&quot; to Tom. He also nods to Gamal, standing.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">This is hilarious to me.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">This looks like it was such an endearing, warm family meeting.

Hlis:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Don't get me wrong, if that man had started on his rants -one more time-....&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">And then, literally, a wall gives out.

Max:<font color="#000000">&quot;Aheh... unless it's a potion, I'd be hapless.&quot; ^^; &quot;Sorry, Sszeyl.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">AND THEN SUDDENLY ADVENTURERS. Everywhere.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt blinks at that, but then nods politely.

Hlis:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;But no, I didn't kill him. So I am banished from my halls until I find he what did kill him.&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">And there's this tidal wave of adventuring assholes that pour in with work orders and questions.

* Tharky makes way.

* Thomas Lazarus nods. |3

Hlis:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Sir Barbarus has provided me a place to stay, people willing to help, and friends to count upon in a fight.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Hmm, sorry. (:3&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;It'd be a wondrous item.&quot;

Saph:<font color="#CC6600">Social situations have suprise rounds too!

Nathaniel Toris:<font color="#000000">&quot;I may be able to help, then, Miss Eyllisaearsithek. What knowledge do you seek?&quot;

Hlis:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;How would you like to go, Elrik?&quot;

Elrik:<i><font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Fine.&quot;

</i>Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">He slides his scabbard off his back and holds it before himself.&quot;I was hoping to have my blade heavily reinforced with positive energy. Sanctified into a Holy brand.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..As I tenetively understand it, that's a tall order.&quot;

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;An' there was a guy with red dragon blood! He was really proud and had a bad temper.&quot; :o ...

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Well, I've asked around quite a bit, and our honorable, ocean-going friend said you might know of the copper dragons that inhabited the Veld?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I had at first thought to go to my church for it, but something caught my eye that made me change my mind in Resca.&quot; 83

Nathaniel Toris:<font color="#000000">&quot;Copper dragons of the Veld... there are fewer now than there were a century ago, alas.&quot;

* Brian arches an eyebrow.

Elrik:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;I am Elrik. I have walked the area around Castleton many times, but upon hearing the horrors that lie here, could no longer sit and let it continue.&quot;

Elrik:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;It is obvious the Count no longer cares enough for his domain, so I joined this crew to help the city and those who live here.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;There's a lot less in the veld than there was a century ago..&quot; Tathi says sadly..

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;A proud stance.&quot; Gnogglebolt nods encouragingly.

Elrik:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Thank you.&quot;

Brian:<font color="#000000">&quot;... Are you certain you'd want your blade sanctified in the name of the Platinum Dragon? ... then again, you are an inquisitor of the Leaden Mace in addition to a servant of the Sun.&quot;

Elrik:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Asgrim, you are next.&quot;

Asgrim:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Sure, don't even ask me...&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I know.&quot; ^^;

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

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I know you collect gemstones.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Thomas takes a large pouch off his belt and clunks it down against the nearby table. He tugs the fabric away revealing the holy shit ridiculous softball sized immaculate jewel contained within. A perfectly polished, 100-faceted rogue stone; one of the rarest and most latently magical gems on the planet. It swirls with a rainbow pattern of changing colors, and actually gives off a faint light. It's worth sixteen thousand gold.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..I saw this and I just figured, I had to come here.&quot;

Brian:<font color="#000000">O_O

TMG:<font color="#000000">....what? Was this one of the pirate swag? xD

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;So you can do it, right?&quot; |3

Brian:<font color="#000000">... yep, he's paralyzed, jaw agape, staring at that stone. There's scarcely a word for the amount of do want in his expression.

* Dr. Hatari is taking advantage of the addage, &quot;You can get it in Resca.&quot;

Asgrim:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;I'm Asgrim, a former noble.&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">D'ohohoho

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

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;...&quot; |3

Asgrim:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;I used to be involved...with a woman who eventually decided to try and kill me and my family. :|&quot;

TMG:<font color="#000000">So you just 'converted' your wealth. x3

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

Nathaniel Toris:<font color="#000000">You may also notice that the room full of dragons has gone dead silent. *.*

* Thomas Lazarus extends an index finger, pauses, and then gingerly prods Brian once. |3

Asgrim:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Those that she didn't kill blamed me, and so I was disowned.&quot;

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

Brian:<font color="#000000">&quot;--!&quot; O_O

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">See, we didn't find this.

Asgrim:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Barbarus was kind enough to give me a place off the streets, and somewhere to put my talents to use.&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Tom just thought this would be funny.

TMG:<font color="#000000">&quot; Give me that stone&quot; 

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

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

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi is just giggling at this hilarity.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;.... Soooo~ is it a deal?&quot;

Brian:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yes yes of course I'll do it where did you find that that's -- yes!&quot; 8O

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Well. I hope you can work through that misfortune with us as well.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;I feel like My gold is not going to be as valuable compared to an offering like that.&quot;

Asgrim:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Eh, I'm over it.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Tom awesomefaces. |B !

Asgrim:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;The bitch was hung from the neck until dead recently.&quot;

Asgrim:<font color="#A14D7F">|3

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">He sets his scabbard down on the table.

Brian:<font color="#000000">&quot;C-can I -- can I see that stone for just a moment first&quot; *_*

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Well, in that case, I hope your future is brighter with us.&quot; :3

Asgrim:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;You probably know her. Pamela Lundy?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Huh? Oh. I was thinking of paying you up-front, yes. What? Is that not how it usually goes?&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;So THIS is what it means to have a dragon by its tail.&quot; Tathi says teasingly.

Asgrim:<font color="#A14D7F">Spit take in five.

Brian:<font color="#000000">&quot;Just gotta make sure -- gotta make sure it's real.&quot; *.*

* Thomas Lazarus struggles to keep a straight face.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Sure. Yeah. Go ahead.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">...actually, I -almost- was going to ask if it was her.

Brian:<font color="#000000">Holy crow did you even see him move? Just a blur.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt's eyes widen.

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

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">|3 &quot;My friend here also had some weapon enchanting in mind, I believe.&quot;

Brian:<font color="#000000">&quot;... it's real,&quot; he says breathlessly. *w* &quot;An actual rogue stone --&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;....Ah...yes. I am...familiar.&quot; Gnogglebolt is looking at Asgrim with uninhibeted clear amazement and wonder.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot; Oh this was so worth the trip! &quot;

* Gamal-Junayd just stays silent a bit while he gushes over the stone

* Thomas Lazarus grins at Tathi.

Asgrim:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;I thought so.&quot;

Nathaniel Toris:<font color="#000000">&quot;Arosstherajix...&quot; The elder chuckles quietly. &quot;Perhaps it would be best to enjoy the stone in its full beauty when we don't have paying customers in the store?&quot;

Asgrim:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Two left!&quot;

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

Asgrim:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Oh wait, three. :o&quot;

Brian:<font color="#000000">&quot;-- Oh. Sorry. Of course, Grandfather.&quot; ^^;;;;;;;;;;;;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Paying customers? Oh, you mean that load of goofballs on your doorstep.&quot; Tathi says with a teasing grin.

* Brian carefully, almost lovingly puts the stone in a pocket after wrapping it up again, and picks up Tom's sword.

* Thomas Lazarus laughs mirthfully.

Hord:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;I'm Hord. :3 One of Ed's cousins.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Ahhh. I was hoping you would like that. I am not disappointed.&quot;

Hord:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;I joined up to help people like Cousin Ed after Bararus shared the story.&quot;

Ian Toris:<font color="#000000">You can practically feel some waves of jealousy.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">If Tom could do the Troll!Dad hopping pose right now, he would pretty much be doing that as hard as he could.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">DAMNIT THOMAS now we have to get all of them one now!!!

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Image link? :B

Ceowulf:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;I'm Ceowulf. Hermit, and I was to be the victim of a lynch mob. Barbarus saved me from my death, so I walk with him.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh! Family of Ed? Splendid!&quot; Gnogglebolt says, although he still seems rather distracted in the wake of Asgrim's story.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">after a bit more time letting him appreciate his new gem &quot;Well...I also was seeking to get my weapons enchanted..though I unfortunatly have only gold, and nothing like that stone.&quot; he takes out a back with 12k gold in whatever we got as our share. &quot; I was seeking the power for my blades to incapacitate rather than kill. No sense in killing when you don't need to, and if we are seeking to capture like we were agaisnt the pirates, it would be better if I could fight with my full ability, without worrying about injuring them.&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">http://chzmemebase.files.wordpress.com/2011/04/memes-my-name-is-dad.jpg

Brian:<font color="#000000">&quot;Easily done. Very easily done. Both blades bearing the same enchantment?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Ah, very fortunate indeed...&quot; Still slightly distant and distracted.

TMG:<font color="#000000">(Yo. Yo Rail.)

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yes, I'd rather they both have the power to not cause lasting harm, and I don't have the money to have multiple options yet.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd: <font color="#0">(( ? ))

Araian:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;And I am Araian Luincolllor.&quot;

TMG:<font color="#000000">(Look at examples of premade weapons in various books. They all have special little unique things about them.)

Araian:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;I come by every year to sell my ice cream and sorbet to the Kellons. :3&quot;

TMG:<font color="#000000">(See if any of the inspire you to some little uniqueness for your own blades. :. )

Araian:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;I also go on some adventures to pass the time. But..&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt finally shakes and clears his head. &quot;Ah...erm. Why go into the danger of our business, if I may ask?&quot;

Gamal-Junayd: <font color="#0">(( I may want to add special stuff later, but right now they are just +1 merciful, uniqueness and special properites cost :) ))

Brian:<font color="#000000">&quot;Excellent, very good. I can have your weapons complete within a month. Shorter if I can procure some assistance.&quot;

Araian:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Well, in the time I've been away, my troupe disbanded, and our base abandoned.&quot;

Araian:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;I didn't know anyone down here, in that case.&quot;

TMG:<font color="#000000">(Not much. Maybe one or two thousand gold for just some little bitty. You can compare the prices and such, they don't differ dramatcally)

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh, so you're already used to this.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd: <font color="#0">(( I have..less than 300 gold ))

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Oh Gnoooogleboooolt~

TMG:<font color="#000000">(...Oh.)

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;My thanks.&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">May I drop a plotbunny~?

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

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Ice cream/sorbet... mini-fridge... 0:3

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

TMG:<font color="#000000">Not much of a 'plotbunny' as a 'device idea', but noted. :P

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Might be a bonding point with the ice cream elf, to mention it, just sayin'. 0:3

Brian:<font color="#000000">&quot;I'll start right away.&quot; 83

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Icecream elf is now a subrace.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt glances to the black-furred catfolk (he is a catfolk, right?), the only one to not speak yet. &quot;And you, kin of Barbarus?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Eh, Gnogglebolt's not thinking of it right this second. Later. :P

Primera:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;No.&quot;

Primera:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;I am servitor of el jefe here.&quot;

TMG:<font color="#000000">...wait, -is- Primera a catfolk?

Primera:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;I carry the sword he asks be used to kill him if he cannot be in control on the full moon anymore.&quot;

Primera:<font color="#A14D7F">Yep.

Primera:<font color="#A14D7F">Tall for one, too.

TMG:<font color="#000000">if he is, then he is kin, racially speaking. That's what Gnogglebolt meant.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Thank you. That was the blade that decapitated the first Abishai our group crossed paths with. I may not be an agent of Bahamut by trade, but I'll gladly carry his wrath against more fiends. And there will be more in our future. Our near future.&quot;

Primera:<font color="#A14D7F">Six feet tall, buff, with a long super fluffy tail.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I appreciate it, Brian.&quot;

Saph:<font color="#CC6600">Okay, I'm going to spectate no more on account of it being so late it's not even all that early.

Primera: <font color="#a14d7f">(( Ta. ))

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">One eyebrow raises almost to his hairline. &quot;...I...see.&quot;

Brian:<font color="#000000">&quot;Of course -- thank you, sir.&quot; 83 ZOOM!

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;I sincerely hope you never have to perform that duty.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus chuckles again.

Primera:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;As do I.&quot;

Primera:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;El jefe is fun.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot; That was so worth the trip.&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">|3

Max:<font color="#000000">&quot;... Level with me here...&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F"> &quot;Psst, Terri.&quot;

Max:<font color="#000000">&quot;Were you carrying that all the way from Resca on my back, you sly devil?&quot; XP

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;And why do you think I didn't breathe a word of it to anyone?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F"> &quot;Is there a reason you didn't share the paintings that I forgot?&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;I thought dragons could smell precious gems?&quot; Tathi jokingly mocks.

* Nathaniel Toris chuckles. &quot;Maxissoren is a bit young to have honed that ability...&quot; |3

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Thank you as well.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">The gem was, in fact, that 'special something' Thomas alluded to buying and not revealing all the way back in Resca.

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot; Well... the big-me one is private, for practice... &quot; &gt;.&gt;;;;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Does tat mean you smelled it when it came in the door?&quot;

Max:<font color="#000000">&quot;Tharky, that does it, I need to learn that treasure-scent spell you use! Quicklike!&quot; X3

* Nathaniel Toris just smiles.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">0:3

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;Me too, me too!' :O

* Tharky is wracked by silent laughter, covering his face.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Well! So, how much do you know of the copper dragons of the veld, Elder Toris? I'm looking for a particularly large one..&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus properly shoulders the Mace's masterwork bastard sword scabbard where the old one resided.

* Gamal-Junayd puts the scimitars fromt eh mace at his sides as well.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..Mmm.. ah yes. Lady Salishea suggested we speak with you in regards to deciding where we should travel next.&quot;

Nathaniel Toris:<font color="#000000">&quot;That could be any number of large dragons, my dear. Do you have any other descriptors?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...Well!' Gnogglebolt claps his hands. &quot;It was wonderful meeting you all! I look forward to working with you in the future.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi thinks for a moment. DM? :3

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Not until they're ready to challenge something with teeth.&quot;

TMG:<font color="#000000">See, hatari? See?

TMG:<font color="#000000">I knew it.

TMG:<font color="#000000">And you just induced it on purpose. :B Ah well.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Not my fault. :B

* Nathaniel Toris looks to Thomas, then closes his eyes. &quot;... hmm... I will need some time, yet, still. Some of the details Maxissoren has shared with me are disconcerting, and I would appreciate Kerishorak's input before advising you further.&quot;

TMG:<font color="#000000">...yes it is totally your fault. :B

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Ha, Tech. Ha. :P

* Liatai is brick'd.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Show up on the doorstep if you want in on it. I play where the cards fall.

TMG:<font color="#000000">Thomas just brought it up without any prompting. :B

TMG:<font color="#000000">okay, okay! xD

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">He was prompted by Tathi's mention of almost exactly the same thing.

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

Nathaniel Toris:<font color="#000000">&quot;Perhaps after the festival.&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Well now.&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;I hate to put a damper on this, but we must be off.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus nods.

TMG:<font color="#000000">Missed any line from Tathi like that...

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Some business will be keeping us in town for some time, anyways. That should be quite alright.&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;The hour is growing near that I need to go into seculsion for the night.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">I think liatai wants us to have fun in the festival before more death adn dismemberment

Liatai:<font color="#000000">-- Oh. Did someone ask when the festival was? I think I forgot to answer such a question. ^^;

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Don't kill anyone, children.&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;No one who doesn't deserve it, anyway.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">...what's the day again, today?

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">yes I did

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">in-game?

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Today is the second of Damarron.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">sent you a whisper

Liatai:<font color="#000000">The festival is the sixth of Damarron.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh, yes, I just have a few things to tidy up at the workshop building--Barbarus, are you staying here, or going somewhere--Oh... oh.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...Well, best of luck with that.&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">The two cats depart.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yes..I'd rather not leave before my blades are done, if at all possible.&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Ghost - just how Tathi's described the dragon in the past.

Hord:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;If you need some help tidying up, those of us with some strong muscles can help you move things. :3&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Well that's just it. He was unusually large for his age, which you could tell by his scales and eyes. At least a complete catergory bigger than he should have been. Never gave a name.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;We won't have any official operation in Yoriver for a few weeks, from the sounds of the Commander's remarks. ... Going out there full-scale without the proper timing or knowledge could just cause a lot of trouble and collateral damage.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt turns to the rest of the people. &quot;Well...I have to take my leave as well, just have some things to finalize...Oh! Won't be nevessary, about everything's been moved in by now, thank you very much for the offer, though&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..And I, too, want to be armed with a holy brand before facing.. those.&quot; &gt;:|

Ceowulf:<font color="#A14D7F">The tan man stands and gives Gnogglebolt a pair of ear plugs.

* Nathaniel Toris cradles his chin, rubbing a thumb along his beard. &quot;... not terribly much to use, I'm afraid. I can ask Kerishorak, and perhaps Calaserian, when our scrying ties are established.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus glances to the Torises and smiles. &quot;..Ah. But don't let me get side-tracked on that grim business in such good company.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;However, another thing you could...&quot; Gnogglebolt looks up at Ceowulf quizzically.

Ceowulf:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;If you stay in the building where Sir Barbarus and Primera will live in on that new premesis of yours...&quot;

Ceowulf:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;You'll be needing these.&quot;

Teeny Rin:<font color="#FF0000">Said to the chemical engineer.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;....But...doesn't that only happen a few days every month? And he goes elsewhere during it?&quot;

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

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

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;Are they like elves?&quot;

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...Wait, you mean--&quot; Gnogglebolt's face breifly screws up in a twisted wince before smoothing out.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Thank you very much. Why this dragon suddenly chose to revive my very own father, and then leave with nary a reason has been a pesky brair in my family's hair. We're just earnestly curious, really.&quot;

Ceowulf:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Not as much as they.&quot;

Ceowulf:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;But they are cats, they are loud.&quot;

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;It just so happens that the new building is, uh, specifically reinforced and insulated against, um...exactly that.&quot; :B

* Swallowtail is turning slightly pink. She unfolds her tessen and holds it in front of her face to hide her smirk.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Thomas, are there any other places in the city like here that you guardians often go to?&quot;

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

GM:<font color="#000000">It is indeed starting to get into late afternoon.

Ceowulf:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Which reminds me.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Certainly. Let's see.. there are a few popular taverns we meet at now and then. There's the Boot, and the Talespinner..&quot;

Ceowulf:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;The Sir had issues with your construction he wished to bring up.&quot;

Ceowulf:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;But you chose a bad day to arrive.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;I must take my leave for now...but, if you could all do a small favor for me? As the others of our group arrive, please request they stick around until all are present, and when they are, send them to this address?&quot; Gnogglebolt writes down the new place, though they probably already know it. &quot;That includes you, Swallowtail.&quot; Gnogglebolt nods to her.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt eyes Ceowulf. &quot;...Oh?&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus nods at Sszeyl, then looks to Gamal. &quot;That one disembodied voice that spoke to us - the wizard Zairith - we visit him on occasion. He's more a close friend of Sszeyl's. Let's see... Sszeyl has a cave to the east of the city. He's actually spruced it up into a very nice underground home.&quot;

Anaqualia:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;He says your design is too complete. That it does not easily provide for expansion.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus rubs his chin.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;A cave? aren't those damp?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...Hmm. Well, can't say I exactly planned for any expansions, but it wouldn't be impossible...no, not impossible at all...&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Brother Miron and I often linger at the Mace hostel rather than at the headquarters building you were at earlier, but that is otherwise &quot;our&quot; official meeting place. It has beds upstairs. ... 'Course, now it's full of newcomers.&quot;

Anaqualia:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;He was going to ask if you could be persuaded to open it up a bit, or accept him purchasing some available stores in the vacinity to serve a dedicated purpose to the group.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt gets a spaced-out look towards the end.

Anaqualia:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Such as hostels, or stores for selling wares.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Oh, he's properly furnished it and everything. It's real nice.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;It's like a nice manor once you step inside.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">He snaps back. &quot;Oh. Um. Well, thank you for informing me. Don't worry, I'll straighten it out with everyone else.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;More than one floor, even.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Still, underground..I prefer a place you can feel the wind.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;If nothing else, by going ont he roof.&quot;

Max:<font color="#000000">&quot;It's still hard to believe that cave once belonged to goblins.&quot; :3

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Perhaps. But he is from the underdark.&quot;

Anaqualia:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Very well.&quot;

Anaqualia:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Go with safety.&quot;

Max:<font color="#000000">&quot;... then again, mine used to belong to a purple worm, so.&quot; |3

Anaqualia:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;The wolves are on the hunt tonight, so if you hear them be swift to find shelter.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">D: Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Thank you.&quot; Gnogglebolt bows graciously, and excuses himself from the building.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;There are.. those right here in central Akellon??&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi smirks, and looks over at Thomas. &quot;Want to come with us to Zairith's?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Vworpin' token over to New HQ

Matthew Toris:<font color="#000000">&quot;It was delicious.&quot; |D

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">D: D: Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Your place was once a worm's cave? Sure doens't seem t.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Hey, Vira, Ian. :o&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Want to see something neat?&quot;

Matthew Toris:<font color="#000000">&quot;Ahh, don't worry, Thomas! That's what people like us are here for.&quot; |3

* Thomas Lazarus rubs a temple for a moment. {:3 &quot;...&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus looks to Tathi and offers a nod. &quot;Ah. Certainly. I don't have any other immediate business.&quot;

Tokens dropped onto map 'Tinker Workshop and VG HQ'Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Although I'm sure the first thing he'll wonder is 'why are you here'.&quot; =w=

* Thomas Lazarus snaps. &quot;Wait..&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Didn't he say he was out of the city for a while?

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Mind if I join you then? to learn the area?&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;He said he would be back at dusk, I believe.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">Sszeyl shows Vira and Ian the moving tattoo he got in Resca when the GM returnss. :B

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

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Sure! Why not?&quot;

TMG whispers: Well, I suppose Gnogglebolt could use the time until the party arrives to find and hire a clerk/secretary and valet...got any tokens to plop down for the wait? I'ma go afk for a bit, got something to take care of before it gets too dark

Vira Toris:<font color="#000000">:o

You whisper to TMG: Actually, I was thinking Elros could fill one of those roles. x3

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;It's not just a moving picture, either.&quot;

TMG whispers: ......pffffffft. :P

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;It's a viewport into an actual corral reef.&quot;

You whisper to TMG: Your choice which.

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;You can interact with it a bit, if you don't think about it too much.&quot;

Teeny Rin:<font color="#FF0000">The children begin prodding and poking the ocean on Sszeyl's back in awe. His most decadent fantasies come true. *KER-BRICK'D*

Vira Toris:<font color="#000000">&quot;O-oh... I don't think I should... I don't want to scare the fishies...&quot; ^^;;;;

TMG whispers: maaaaaybe valet, the guy who keeps everything tidy and in order. The secretary definitely needs to be an npc. Don't need to stat them exactly, but they should be an Expert with skills like Forgery, Decipher Script, Profession (Bookkeeper), Profession (Financial organizer), Profession, Profession, Profession...

GM:<font color="#000000">Lemme know when you're ready for vworping to Casa ZL -- ohhhh wait it's almost midnight. ^^;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">I was just about to say. :B

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Ha ha, well, I am off to go and bother a silly drow. Let's see if I can get him to call the guard on me this time, hrm? Aa' menle nauva calen ar' ta hwesta e' ale'quenle. Toris family!&quot;

GM:<font color="#000000">Let's get noms and do the drow stuff later, hm? :3

You whisper to Ghostwish: Translation...? :B

* Thomas Lazarus waves to the assembles Torises. :3

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">And Tharky. |3

Tathi whispers: &quot;May thy paths be green and the breeze on thy back &quot;

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Nommy nommy noms.

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Who? :3

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">We need to knit Tathi a scarf.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">A very long scarf.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Let's see.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Tom for Sir yes Sir!

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Mace members: &quot;Sir, yes sir!&quot;

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">You cannot unhear Avery!Ashmore.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Hopefully Ashmore didn't seem too much like a Braxton Falls agent. ^^;

TMG:<font color="#000000">...man, I have -got- to read the full log of what I missed...

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Not any more than he usually does. :B

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">But that's our commander. We can handle MAXIMUM SRS in that limited dosage.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Oh right.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Gnogglenom for rolling with the punches. :3

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

* Dr. Hatari wracks brain :O

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Ashmore: &quot;At first I srs'd. Then I punched someone in the throat. Then I lol'd.&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">I was seriously scrambling trying to come up with a G mnemonic for Flint to use. XD

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

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

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Grandpappy Mummy?

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Note to self, do that in advance before Shankfang shows up. XD

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">It's his schtick.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Flint has a terrible head for names.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;My My Grandpappy. What a musty smell you have.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">Silly shankfang? heh

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Grim Gamal? :B

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">I like how Vae is still on his 30 minute powernap.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">How many introductions will there be next time? haha

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">No Ed/Aelian noms? :B

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Unlimited Introduction Works.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">They must do better! :U

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Ehn. Tathi gets Aelians noms anyways. :B

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">No she doesn't. XP

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

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">I thought thats how it worked. :x

Edaric:<font color="#000000">Pfft. You can have your opinions. I'm borrowing a leaf from Tom's book and having a drink while stuff goes on. |D *brick'd*

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">For Cold War and what not. but when Aelian lost a level? Yeah, had to track it

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

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">A wasted evening is never a wasted evening. *brick'd*

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Plagarism? :.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Plagiarism!

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">:B

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">So, yes.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Liatai, when we were discussing Brian's caster level and alignment.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">My devious plan was to do what happened above.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">And then have Tom go, &quot;Oh... you mean you can't? &gt;:&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;H'OH WELL.&quot; Swipe.

TMG:<font color="#000000">...ohgawd that would have been so evil xD

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">:B

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">I was giggling so stupidly when I came up with that plan.

Dorf Aias:<font color="#0000FF">SAVIN'

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Also, random trivia; I did not just whimsically invent rogue stones.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">I wondered. :3 Where are they from?

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">Well. at least thomas didn't ask about strang dragon things like last couple times

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">It's apparently a spell component for a spell in Faerun.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">They're loot in Baldur's Gate.

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

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">I was thinking to myself, &quot;Sooo.&quot;

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">I can't wait for Gnoggle minions to show up. |3

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;What would a sixteen grand gem look like?&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Giant diamond? Big ruby? OHHHH A ROGUE STONE.&quot;

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Finally get that arm fixed, get that goblin foot fixed.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Perhaps even that goblin finger fixed.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Dr.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Dost thou have an image, perchance? :.

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

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Oh, of a rogue stone?

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Of a rogue stone.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">No. There is a sprite for it in BG2.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Darn. :C

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">It's not that fancy and has no facets. It's smooth.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">But they do swirls with color.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Based on the description anyways.

TMG:<font color="#000000">Meany: I can't wait for Gnoggle minions to show up. |3

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">They're also work a lot of money.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Btw, I am purposefully setting the standard for minions in this game.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">To piss you and Ghost off for when you get minions.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">|3

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Max: Brian... you need to actually get to work on those swords sometime... Brian: Mmmm... the preciousssss.... *w*

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Oh god oh god oh god I can't do all of thise at once!&quot;

TMG:<font color="#000000">As said before, might take awhile..not likely before we leave Castleton, at any rate. I've actually gotta go walk the dog for a bit. I acually was going to breifly chat with Lia about ze 'minions' when I get back

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Tom: 2, Brian: 0

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

TMG:<font color="#000000">and meany; hell, I'm not playing any of them at all.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">&gt;:O

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Lazy bones!

TMG:<font color="#000000">Or at least, I never planned to.

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

* Meany brands 'SLOTH' into Tech's shoulder.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Otto has over one hundred followers.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">You can't name them all.

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

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Much less play them.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">That's why you give them just one of two possible names.

TMG:<font color="#000000">....devil's advocate, but yes you can. Random name generator. :B

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">you can iwht a random name generator!

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">If they ever show up to be used, they're going to be Aundairian soldiers and knights with officers at the higher HD.

TMG:<font color="#000000">afk for now

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Let's return to the IRC, shall we? :3

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

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Good game, everybody. :D

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

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">I just realized.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">It's so nice to be back in Castleton. x3

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">I narrowly avoided having the Commander get hugged by Tom's shirtless criminal friend.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">now how long do you plan on keeping us here? heh

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

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

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

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

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Granted he's hardly a bad guy.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">is he a criminal?

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">In Maizo? Presumably.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">For this and that not-very-dire infraction.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">You'll have to ask Ram.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">... is it Maizo or Mazio? :.

* Dr. Hatari has always subvocalized it as Mazio.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">irc then?

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

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Shamelessly lifted from a thunder spell in the Persona games. :B *brick'd*

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Heck, the elven city of Soliana near Mazio is named after my first WoW character, a night elf druid. No shame. :B *re-brick'd*

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Hell, it's cool. I recycle old character names constantly.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">It takes me like 30 minutes staring at a name blank to make an original.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">So when I do, I damn well keep it around.

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

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">damn straight! heh

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Dr. Hatari, in fact, was a Disgaea mad gunner.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Fast forward half a decade. Still my handle! \o.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Heh... so I'm glancing over Swallowtail's character sheet, and I notice this under RP Plans. &quot;- Talk with Gamal about the School of Four Beasts. Plus, what the hell do you look like? &gt;:\ &quot;

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

Railock:<font color="#000000">Railock? it was my first character in an online rpg game.

Railock:<font color="#000000">been using it over a decade.

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">think everyone knows the story to ghostwish :3

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Cue mental image of Swallowtail tugging on Gamal's bandages. :B

* Dr. Hatari assumes Piccolo.

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Heh, I think most everyone already knows the story behind Liatai, too. :B

Railock:<font color="#000000">played this character for almost 8 months in an IRC that used dice roling bots for vampire the masquerade. whole irc was the game, different channels locations in the city, had storytellers to run it, play anytime you want was awesome

Railock:<font color="#000000">I don't

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">I forget if you told it.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">I always assumed it was a fruity beverage. *brick'd*

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Have I ever mentioned Kandask? One of the more involved fantasy worlds I've ever tried to build. I started building it about... mmm, two, three years before Akellon, and still go back to play with it sometimes.

TMG:<font color="#000000">what the--the server is -still- up? xD

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">It's so surreal when you accidentally stumble upon someone else's inspiration for their name.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Yes. We're using it as IRC.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Because we're exclusive and cool.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Well, I figured I would try making up a language or two to go with this fantasy world. &quot;Liatai&quot; is the feminine form of the ancient Furra word for &quot;one who creates,&quot; to use the simple definition. (Masculine, liata, plural, liatae.)

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">More complex definition, it's a word used to describe someone who creates something original. Most often used for authors, artists, and craftspeople. I figured I'd be particularly geeky and use it as a handle when writing Kandask stuffs.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Flash forward six years... :B

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

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

TMG:<font color="#000000">Considering all the recent stuff about expanding the geography beyond Akellon, to come up with the rest of the continent, and how there's still no name for the continent or the world.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">So yeah, I think I out-geeked your handles a fair bit. XP *brick'd!*

Railock:<font color="#000000">how much of a laungauge did ytou actually make?

TMG:<font color="#000000">Figured 'let's not reinvent the names'

TMG:<font color="#000000">Call the world Liatae. :&gt;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">... Back when I played a ravening undead wraith lord on Teiravon my direct superior was a desert lich named Valik. Years after quitting, browsing Sci-fi channel to see whatever horrible direct-to-T.V. movie they're airing ... Random vampire hunter: &quot;You'll never win, Valik!&quot;

Railock:<font color="#000000">link didnt work

Liatai:<font color="#000000">And no, the verb &quot;to create&quot; was not among them. Major oversight, going to need to rectify that... XD

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

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Hm.. link works for me?
