Meany:Zoppity zoop.

TMG has connected.

 Faerie has connected.

 Meany:Avast, good sirs.

Faerie : it's a bit glacial, but I think I'm actually loading.Meany::D

Faerie : Hmm.Faerie : I don't see the button to change maps though.Liatai:<font color="#000000">Starting map is VG HQ. :3

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

</i> Meany:<font color="#996600">Avast.

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

Faerie : well, you might have to enforce maps.Meany:<font color="#996600">Liatai, could you eyeball GP-sum something for me? =3=;

Faerie : Because I can't find the button to change manually.Liatai:<font color="#000000">Sure. What do you need?

Meany:<font color="#996600">Those pimpin' Halfling carriages from Races of the Wild.

Faerie : ugh, bloody client.Meany:<font color="#996600">D: Liatai:<font color="#000000">x3 Well, let me check and see how much a normal carriage is worth... aack, sorry, Fae. &gt;: Faerie : Alright, is this working?Meany:<font color="#996600">One hundred GP.

Meany:<font color="#996600">Howso, Fae?

Faerie : ...this should be Elros right now.Meany:<font color="#996600">x: Liatai:<font color="#000000">I'll eyeball it as 150-300 GP, depending on how complex you want it.

TMG:<font color="#000000">...is it just me...

TMG:<font color="#000000">or is Elro's token missing all his properties? o.O

Meany:<font color="#996600">Nope.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">It looks that way to me D: Meany:<font color="#996600">It might be that Fae is trying to work with it constantly.

Meany:<font color="#996600">And it's...blocking it? =3=;

Faerie : :xLiatai:<font color="#000000">Give me a few, I'll grab a current Elros.

Faerie : this is...a bit difficult to work with.Faerie : &gt;.&gt;;Ghostwish:<font color="#6600CC">brb, making some lunch. :&gt;

Faerie : Well, let's see if I can get to my profile on tangledweb.Liatai:<font color="#000000">There we go, statted Elros.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Also, question for people. Mouse over Aelian, Edaric, Swallowtail, or one of the two elven hounds, if you would. Can you see their HP? :3

Faerie : ...pain in the ass.TMG:<font color="#000000">Liatai; can see them all.

Faerie : I can't get onto tangledweb.Meany:<font color="#996600">D: Liatai:<font color="#000000">Excellent. Made a new template for party NPCs so there's no more guessing at their HP. x3

Meany:<font color="#996600">Yes.

Faerie : My keyboard keeps going away when I try to enter my username.Liatai:<font color="#000000">... Not excellent. D: Ghostwish:<font color="#6600CC">makin tomato soup

Faerie : Alright, now it's behaving.Faerie : at least, the browser is.Liatai:<font color="#000000">Fff, it deleted Elros' stats again. D: Faerie : I was trying to impersonate my token again.Faerie : &gt;.&gt;;;Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">*looks at Swallowtail's HP* I'm only one HD higher than you. Da hell is dis? D: Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">I'm a ninja, you're a monk. You also have a higher Con than me.

Faerie : so.Faerie : So. Token impersonation doesn't work, and trying to click on Elros makes his stats go away.Liatai:<font color="#000000">&gt;: Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">:.

Faerie : and I can't find the button to change maps.* Ghostwish returns with soup. :&gt;

Meany:<font color="#996600">:x

Ghostwish:<font color="#6600CC">Faerie, upper right corner.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">I.. don't think that's the problem, Ghost. :P

Ghostwish:<font color="#6600CC">... he still on his ipad?\

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

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

</i> Faerie : okay, thTFaerie : okay, thats not the button.GM:<font color="#000000">As far as I know, yes, he's still on his iPad.

Ghostwish:<font color="#6600CC">New mink tokens!?!?!???!?! *ker-pounce!*

* Dr. Hatari eats piieeeee? :&gt;

GM:<font color="#000000">Because I know some of you are waiting for this token. :P

Ghostwish:<font color="#6600CC">*SNRK*

Ghostwish:<font color="#6600CC">That token looks like.. a mouthful.

Meany:<font color="#996600">Fae, any progress?

GM:<font color="#000000">While Fae is working on things, shall we start the recap?

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

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

GM:<font color="#000000">What is House Helvirahel? :P

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

Ghostwish:<font color="#6600CC">I DUNNO

Ghostwish:<font color="#6600CC">GIVE ME A HINT

Meany:<font color="#996600">Here.

Meany:<font color="#996600">*bricks*

Meany:<font color="#996600">There's your hint.

Ghostwish:<font color="#6600CC">DROW?

Ghostwish:<font color="#6600CC">WE HAVE DROW IN THIS GAME?

Ghostwish:<font color="#6600CC">I THOUGHT SSZEYL WAS JUST REALLY TAN.

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

Ghostwish:<font color="#6600CC">CUZ HE'S SUCH A SURFER

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">So help me, crackah, I will break offa yo legs.

Ghostwish:<font color="#6600CC">TOM'S A CLERIC? GEE, I THOUGHT HE WAS A CONFUSED FIGHTER. HE GETS CLOBBERED ENOUGH TO BE ONE, AMIRITE?

GM:<font color="#000000">Anyway! Last session, there was a morning encounter with the unnamed group of adventurers, and the gargoyle job was handed off to them in exchange for a day spent upgrading equipment and pursuing a surprise lead.

Ghostwish:<font color="#6600CC">Oddly enough (sorry for interupting) that reminds me. I found Tathi's theme song.

GM:<font color="#000000">And there was surprise plot from Elros! :O

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">I feel better about our situation knowing how pretty our assassins are.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">WHAT IS WITH YOU.

Ghostwish:<font color="#6600CC">Pretty assassins are good. It means they'll give some crazy monologue before trying to kill us instead of, say, stabbing us in our sleep.

Tathi:<font color="#6600CC">IMMA WIZURD

GM:<font color="#000000">We rejoin the Vigilant Guardians in the evening, post-scrying...

* Dr. Hatari kills IRC. =3=;

GM:<font color="#000000">Take it away whenever you're ready, gentlemen. :3 Starting map, for lack of a better one at the moment, is Guardian HQ.

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

GM:<font color="#000000">.... actually, come to think of it, I should probably call roll.

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

Tokens dropped onto map 'Vigilant Guardian HQ'Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">Yo.

GM:<font color="#000000">Hatari's here, Ghost is here... Tech's here... Faerie is likely still wrestling with his iPad... Meany's here. Okay. :3

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

Rolls:<font color="#6600CC">STOP CALLING ME, IM TRYING TO SLEEP

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">That reminds me.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">Oh wait. My reminder reminded me of why I never did that. =3=

GM:<font color="#000000">MINKS CAN CALL ANY EDIBLES AT ANY TIME. NOW GET OVER HERE SO I CAN MAKE YOU A SAMMICH. *_*

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

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

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

</i> Faerie : Alright, can you read me now?Meany:<font color="#996600">Yo.

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

Faerie : enforce map, please?Faerie : Alright, that worked.Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">Where are those crazy chat preferences.. &gt;:.

* Dr. Hatari wanted to change his color.

Ghostwish:<font color="#6600CC">Far right of your chat box.

Faerie : That's another thing I can't find on this client.Faerie : &gt;.&gt;Meany:<font color="#996600">...

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">No, I moved my windows around.

Meany:<font color="#996600">Don't suppose you could hijack a desktop?

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">I need to find it via the toolbars.

Faerie : I have a cell phone, xbox, tv, and printer.Faerie : And the razor might have an electronic chip in it, I suppose.Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Test.

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

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

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">This is a highly inappropriate color for Thomas.

Meany:<font color="#996600">:o

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Red you say!? So be it. I shall be blue, and we shall duel at dawn.

Meany:<font color="#996600">Red.

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

Meany:<font color="#996600">I am Bronze.

Meany:<font color="#996600">:3

Faerie : I'm normally green, but it seems I have black today.* Thomas Lazarus are emotes the same?

Dr. Hatari:<b><font color="#FF0000">I SEE.

</b>Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Oh yes. Tathi's theme song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wiWnWtl8070&amp;feature=player_embedded

Faerie wonders if this works.

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Liatai, lemme get it off a less heavy site for your bandwidth.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">What is that for the bandwidth challenged?

Faerie : Alright, /me works.Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Here we go. It is titled 'Into the Woods', and the animation is by an -amazing- flash artist and animator. http://www.biteycastle.com/page/2/

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">I know that song! :D

TMG:<font color="#000000">Aha! The guy behind Brakenwood!

TMG:<font color="#000000">He's really great, yes. ^^

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Brackenwood for the win! x3

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">XD!!! I am both surprised and incredibly pleased his reputation proceeds him. XD

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">But yes, I just recently caught up with him again, and heard that song, and just went &quot;OMG BEAUTIFUL. OMG TATHI. O_O&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">I'm also familiar with him.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">And his distinctive creepy doll eyes. :P

GM:<font color="#000000">Anyway! Shall we assume post-scrying that the Guardians return to HQ to collect their gnomish tinker?

Faerie : So on the one hand, maptool seems like it would work well on an iPad.Faerie : On the other, this client is a steaming pile.Liatai:<font color="#000000">&gt;: Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Seems like it. ^^;;

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">That is the general gist of all apps. ^_^;;

Faerie : and no, there isn't an iPhone version I can use instead. This is universal.Liatai:<font color="#000000">Fffff there is paint on my shirt. How. I didn't even wear this shirt while painting. XD

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Anyway, Gnogglebolt can be found at the HQ, working alongside some carpenters who are fixing up the building.

Faerie : &#171; &#160;2&#160; &#187;Faerie : Oh yeah, and rolls just show up as numbers.Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Though, as the sun is going down, they're all starting t pack it up for the night.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi, barring any further chores or anything from the other team members, is escorted back to her room. And not for their usual routine, either. Aelian is left with the poor task of watching over his drunk lover.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Ffff I broke stuff. D: GM:<font color="#000000">The HQ is all but patched up; just a few more holes and a finishing job, and it should be good as new tomorrow.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">D: Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Someone type something for a moment. =3=;

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

TMG:<font color="#000000">typity?

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Okay, it's back to normal.

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">There's likely a stream of Amayan from the corner of the house as Sszeyl and Swallowtail take care of the contents of their minisession.

Faerie : Elros thiFaerie : Dammit enter key.* Thomas Lazarus tromps off for the HQ as well, seeming quite weary from the day.

* Edaric waves to Gnogglebolt. &quot;How have things been here?&quot;

Faerie : Elros thinks that perhaps he ought to sleep in his armor tonight. or at least keep it handy to his bed.Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Maybe you could change your I.D. handle to Elros? ^^;

* Thomas Lazarus tugs a wash-basin out from the corner of the room and intones a brief prayer; kersploosh!

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh! Welcome back, everyone! Things have been proceeding apace.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;It's not done, but good enough to sleep in again tonight.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Tom goes about disassembling his armor. :9

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Uhwah? Really..?&quot;

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

</i> Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Where should we stay, then?&quot;

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

</i> Meany:<font color="#996600">Yo.

Ghostwish whispers: I have been entertaining a crazy, crazy little idea.. what if we had crossovers between dorf fortress and akellon? :P

Faerie : as long as I don't need to be Ezer now.Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;I...just said...we can sleep here again now.&quot;

Faerie : enforce map again, if you would please.Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt gives Thomas a very odd look.

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

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

</i> Elros : Right, who am I now?Liatai:<font color="#000000">You are now Elros.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Oh, nevermind the above, then. I misread that as 'not' good enough.

Meany:<font color="#996600">Yo.

Elros : Alright, map one last time?* Dr. Hatari hugs Elros.

Elros : pain in the ass.Elros : Yeah, can't find the move command either.Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh, really? Awesome!&quot;

* Dr. Hatari changes his mind about the red text. Maybe for Otto and Tomi. =3=

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Still, not sure I like the idea of sleeping in the same place so soon after the attack.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;At the very least, we need to set watches tonight.&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#996600">&quot;Rodger. .U&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">In the case that misunderstandings were avoided, Thomas is dutifully scrubbing and cleaning his armor, inside and out, one piece at a time. He's sitting indian-style by the staircase in a tanktop and shorts. In fact, that's probably the first time anyone has ever seen him out of those pelorite robes. &quot;:9&quot;

Elros : &quot;The assasiElros : ...Elros : umm...are people whispering me?Liatai:<font color="#000000">Not as far as I know.

Elros : Because I'm seeing whispersElros : :B* Dr. Hatari raises a brow.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Your client is haunted D: TMG:<font color="#000000">from who?

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">What were they?

Elros : Thomas and Ghostwish.Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">... That's freaky.

Barbarus:<font color="#996600">&quot;...Tom...are you actually cleaning your armor? :B&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">You can see our whispers. D: Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">HE KNOWS WE'RE GAY

Barbarus whispers: Elros can you see this?

Elros : this is now in farce territory.Elros : Yes, I can see that.Meany:<font color="#996600">:D

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Jeepers. o.o'

Meany:<font color="#996600">You found the glitch!

TMG whispers: can you see this, alex?

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">HE IS... THE ONE!

Meany:<font color="#996600">That made you join as a GM.

Elros : yes, I can see that too, tech.Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">SHIT. I WASN'T THE CATCHER.

TMG:<font color="#000000">Wow. o.O

Liatai:<font color="#000000">... so Fae has ascended? XD!

Elros : oh, is that what's going on?Meany:<font color="#996600">He's become Oberron.

Meany:<font color="#996600">King of the Fae.

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

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">er... Liatai, which password did you give him? XD

Liatai:<font color="#000000">I didn't give him a password.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">You guys gave him the IP. :B

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">... well then this is very odd then. XD

Elros : I used the same password as was posted on the irc.Meany:<font color="#996600">Or that.

Elros is actually laughing at this.

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">QUICK. LET'S ALL SAY NASTY THINGS ABOUT HIM IN WHISPERS.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Well, even I can't see whispers that are whispered to people other than me, so this is weird. XD

Elros : and I used the ip from Thursday, because that was a ghost server.Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">Elros why are your eyes glowing. D: Elros : I'm not, I swear! D:Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;But, you all must tell me!&quot;

Elros : What is this I don't even.Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;What did you all get up to today? Did you take care of the gargoyle business.?&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">This is kind of fun. :B

Barbarus:<font color="#996600">&quot;Nah.&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#996600">&quot;Ren and her coven handled it. .3&quot;

Elros : I don't even know -who- you people are whispering. ;~;Elros : ...* Thomas Lazarus smirks slightly and gives Barbarus a look.

Elros : it says /w is an &quot;Unsupported macro&quot;Elros : Apparently, my client doesn't know how to whisper.Elros : or something.Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh, really? hrm. Oh well.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;It's not like I've never washed it before. Brian was over-reacting. I just figured I would take his advice to heart and do it more often, now that I end up sleeping in it most nights. And...&quot; &gt;.&gt;; &quot;Usually I'm not falling into sewers and hauling around skunk-lizards and such in it.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;What did you all do instead?&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#996600">&quot;Well.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus doesn't seem to trust prestidigitations to get the whole job done. Scrub scrub. :9

Barbarus:<font color="#996600">&quot;We visited the red light district for a bit.&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#996600">&quot;Then went to the Talespinner.&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#996600">&quot;Back to the red light district.&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#996600">&quot;Then went to that half-drow's house for scrying.&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#996600">.V

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt just flatly looks ar Barbarus before looking at everyone else for an explanation.

* Thomas Lazarus shakes his head slightly while working.

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

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">Okay cut it out, Ghost. :P

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">What is the spectral one doing. :B

Elros : Oh yes, were you not there to hear the explanation?Elros : to gnogglebolt.Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;After you left, if I remember correctly, we simply returned here for the time being. I think you were working in the back?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;..That was when we decided to spend the evening chasing leads on the assassins. Namely, at the Talespinner.&quot; He nods to Elros and Edaric.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;We made a bit more progress than expected.&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">afk 2 minutes

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Quite a bit more.&quot;

* Edaric looks over at Elros.

Elros : &quot;Well. To make a long story short, it turns out that the assassins after Sszeyl have a...bit of a grudge against my family.&quot;Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">Chatter. Words. Things.

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">Chatter, talk, paper-fold.

Elros : &quot;In so much as they killed my father's first wife and their child, and nearly killed him&quot;Elros : &quot;I don't believe they were originally looking for me but...they know an opportunity when it arises.&quot;Barbarus:<font color="#996600">&quot;And one of them was killed. .D&quot;

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;I really don't know what to say about that.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnoggleblolt looks at Barbarus. &quot;Oh! Really? That's good, I suppose.&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#996600">&quot;Not really.&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#996600">&quot;From what I heard, the ones that survived are quite dangerous. .D&quot;

Elros : &quot;It doesn't change much. They were after us before, and they are still now. We don't know where they are for sure, but...&quot; He produces the old ring from his pack. &quot;There's a chance that we may later be able to find out.&quot;Barbarus:<font color="#996600">&quot;And the one who died was as close to incompotent as we could hope.&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">HE'S OMNIPRESENT.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">EVERYWHEN. D: Liatai:<font color="#000000">XD

* Thomas Lazarus looks up after a bit more cleaning, having fallen into a somewhat somber silence at the talk.

Elros says some rather impolite things about the iPad client, in Elven.

Barbarus:<font color="#996600">&quot;Um.&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#996600">&quot;Don't you lot have work to do tomorrow?&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">Aelian comes down the stairs a bit later.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;Perhaps.. but probably not.&quot;

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

Barbarus:<font color="#996600">&quot;Widow hunting, and all that.&quot;

* Edaric offers a wave to Aelian. :3 &quot;How is she?&quot;

Elros : &quot;Had fun up there?&quot;Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;It's my hypothesis that the ring we used to scry on that fallen Drow was obtained by mister Silverthrush. He was the one who handed it to us, and all. Their leader detected the scrying and quickly snuffed it out. A potent arcanist herself, it seems. If so, that ring is now useless. It'll only ever show us the corpse now. However.. a lady accompanying them was also missing her ring finger.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;I thought that was the day after tomorro?&quot; (seriously. Haven't been able to update the timeline yet. Don't know what day it is or when we were supposed to leave)

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;It's a bit of a stretch. But it could well be that Elros' old ring is the very same that used to belong to her. So we have a second scrying tie on them they're not counting on.&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">He sighs. &quot;We might have to step carefully around her come morning. I am sure the rat will be happy to make her even more miserable.&quot; He says, sighing as he takes a seat at the table.

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">liatai, are you frozen moving Aelian?

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;..Not that it'll be of any use this time, either, if they're not next to a good landmark.&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Day after tomorrow is when you're hoping to leave. Tomorrow is the day that the decision about who to take needs to go to the commander.

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

TMG:<font color="#000000">Ghost, Aelian is frozen mid-movement.

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">I'm not the one movin' em. :P

TMG:<font color="#000000">Liatai; aha, I thought so

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">There we go. :&gt;

* Thomas Lazarus waves to Aelian

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

Elros : &quot;And they'll surely figure it out quickly again, so we'll only have one go at it.&quot;Barbarus:<font color="#996600">=3#

Barbarus:<font color="#996600">Bombing run.

Barbarus:<font color="#996600">The entire room is scoured of dust, scorch marks, or other filth, and layered with a mixture of apple, pear, and strawberry scents.

Edaric:<font color="#000000">:9

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;... oh yeah, and Tathi got tipsy and turned everyone pink for a bit, but that's small talk compared to the assassin thing.&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">IRC is being super distracting. *rekills*

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Well, we have tomorrow to figure out who of the Leaden Mace we're brining with us, and day after is when we leave.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;We can use tomorrow t try and find them.&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">Aelian sighs, rubbing his forehead at the mention of Tathi's antics.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;Well. We just need to get everyone to speak up, really.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;Or else the commander will decide. I rather think we would look more professional in his eyes if we just brought ourselves to decide together, though.&quot; ^^;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;My vote stands.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;Cadamon, Flint, Landon.&quot;

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Well, Flint is coming regardless, I thought.&quot; :B

Elros : &quot;Sounds fair to me.&quot;* Thomas Lazarus sighs a bit. &quot;Well.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;It's not what I'd have picked, but that sounds like a majority ruling regardless. So we're decided atleast.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">Back to chatter.

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">Words words.

Barbarus:<font color="#996600">&quot;...Aelian.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;What would you have picked?&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#996600">&quot;Please, for the love of your god.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus remarks while washing. &quot;Anise and Richter.&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#996600">&quot;Tell me you took the elemental gem from Tathi.&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#996600">&quot;Before you left her alone.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus glances aside with a hint of a wry smirk. &quot;I think it's a bit much to ply for brother Skar simply on the basis of him being left out of common missions. We know Richter can hold his own and support everyone. Using talents we're lacking without Miron, no less.&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;She's out cold, Barbarus.&quot; Aelian says flatly.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;But, I'm outvoted, it seems.&quot;

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Cadamon has powers like your own, that are particularly effective against undead, are they not? We'll need all of that we can get.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus frowns. &quot;..Well.. yes. Just like mine. That was sort of why I was opposed.&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#996600">&quot;Be grateful we're not brining The Palm in on this.&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#996600">&quot;Even though we should. .v&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Why not both spellcasters?&quot; :3

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;No one else is really tough enough to stand toe-to-toe with another of those gargants. It was rather why I was hoping to have Anise along.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Well, if it works, no reason not to bring more of it.&quot; Gnogglebolt shrugs to Thomas.

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">Aelian quietly listens.. &quot;Honestly, we are such a well-balanced group it may be difficult to find anyone with skills that we lack.&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#996600">&quot;Ahem.&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#996600">&quot;Without me, you have no one who can deliver whitty one liners.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;Also, he'll be fussing relentlessly.&quot; |U

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Anyway, we should probably set watches tonight.&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#996600">&quot;And do this.&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#996600">SHAZAM.

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

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Gods help us.&quot; Aelian says, sarcastically rolling his eyes.

Elros : &quot;I can take whatever watch you need me to.&quot;Barbarus:<font color="#996600">The cat is now sporting Halloweeen colours.

Barbarus:<font color="#996600">Including fur. .V

Elros : &quot;...I do not see how that would be useful, but alright.&quot;Barbarus:<font color="#996600">&quot;Marking targets, foo.&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#996600">:V

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;I will stand a watch as well.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;Third watch.&quot;

Elros : &quot;I don't see how marking yourself as a target wouElros : d help&quot;Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;I can take morning, then, if no one else jumps for it.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus looks up from his washing, briefly. &quot;... Pairs.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Do we have enough people to do that?&quot; Edaric starts counting on his fingers. :d

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">A night isn't any more than 4 shifts, is it?

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

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">..It's sort of nebulous, to me. :P

TMG:<font color="#000000">8 hours of 'sleep', but 2-hour watches.

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;I am not sure.. we have many spellcasters.&quot;

Elros : &quot;It would not be a terrible idea, if we have enough.Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;We can tough it out.&quot;

TMG:<font color="#000000">If nevessary, we could extend it to 10, so everyone gets 8 hours, and the spellcasters can take first or last.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;Tathi and I can go first and work on our spells after.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;One person watching for assassins is as good as no one watching.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Well, for accurate timekeeping...&quot; Gnogglebolt puts his pocketwatch on the table.

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

GM:<font color="#000000">Very well. First watch, roll your Spot and Listen checks.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+2 = 19 + 2 = 21&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; &#171;  &#160;1d20+2 = 18 + 2 = 20&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; Spot/Listen!

* Thomas Lazarus was feeling alert. *_*

GM:<font color="#000000">You saw a rat! &gt;:O That wasn't Kor! ... but all it did was try to sneak off with some garbage. =3=

Kor:<font color="#0000FF">Feast well, noble brother!

Thomas Lazarus: <font color="#0">(( I expect that even several nat 20's in a row would be totally useless, regardless, in this case. =3= ))

GM:<font color="#000000">Second watch?

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">&#171; &#160;1d20+11 = 12 + 11 = 23&#160; <font color="#0000FF">&#187; spot and &#171;  &#160;1d20+10 = 10 + 10 = 20&#160; <font color="#0000FF">&#187; listen!

* Thomas Lazarus settles into bed wearing his pajamas; his armor. ^^;

GM:<font color="#000000">You saw TWO rats! &gt;:O ... that sneaked off with more garbage.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">|D~

GM:<font color="#000000">Third watch?

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&#171; &#160;1d20+6 = 10 + 6 = 16&#160; <font color="#996600">&#187; Spot. &#171; &#160;1d20+6 = 12 + 6 = 18&#160; <font color="#996600">&#187; Listen.

GM:<font color="#000000">You heard a cat chasing the rats. =3=

Kor:<font color="#0000FF">Soon, Akellon shall know the great saga of the Street Rats!

GM:<font color="#000000">And finally, fourth watch.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">*blink blink* Listen! &#171; &#160;1d20+2 = 18 + 2 = 20&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;; spot! &#171; &#160;1d20 = 8&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

GM:<font color="#000000">You hear an angry cat's yowl and a clatter, but see nothing.

GM:<font color="#000000">DAWN of a NEW DAY - Cuthon 9th

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">NOT SO LOUD. X_@

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt, having taken last watch, is already up and about.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Oh, then he gets to see warmed-over death come down the stairs.

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">Sszeyl and Swallow exit for morning practice, and a visit to a tattoo parlor? =3=

Barbarus:<font color="#996600">&#171; &#160;1d20+4 = 10 + 4 = 14&#160; <font color="#996600">&#187; Profession cooking? :V

Barbarus:<font color="#996600">Breakfast is oatmeal today. .D

* Edaric is still sound asleep. Zzzzzzz. |O

* Barbarus puts his ring to his face, and blows over it.

Barbarus:<font color="#996600">A rooster crow ensues.

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

Edaric:<font color="#000000">Zzzzzzz |O

* Thomas Lazarus kneels by the foot of his bed in prayer, as he so often does with dawn's first light.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi, after finally un-gritting her teeth, glares at Barbarus. &quot;This place will have a new throw rug if that happens again.&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#996600">SHAZAM.

Barbarus:<font color="#996600">Tathi is now a psychadelic mix of colours and smells.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">But, she counter-spells it. And props her spellbook open in front of her..

Kor:<font color="#0000FF">.. only to be interrupted by a very loud SQUEAK.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">CRINGE, the return. &quot;Whaaat?&quot; She says exasperatedly.

Barbarus:<font color="#996600">Oatmeal is served. =3#

Kor:<font color="#0000FF">Kor looks pointedly back and forth between Tathi and Barbarus's direction.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi sighs, rubbing her head in an exhausted manner. &quot;Barbarus, fat-fat wants some of that oatmeal.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Alright...when everyone's ready, we go to the Leaden Mace first, then continue investigation of the assasins?&quot;

Kor:<font color="#0000FF">That's LORD fat-fat, thank you kindly.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">Tromp, tromp. |3

Calrach:<font color="#000000">There's a knock on the door.

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

Barbarus:<font color="#996600">&quot;Hello. .D&quot;

Calrach:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hello,, Guardians!&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hmm. Knocking would be easier if we had walls instead of curtains..&quot; ^^;

Barbarus:<font color="#996600">Bowls of oatmeal are poured, and slid to everyone.

Edaric:<font color="#000000">Snoooore |O

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">Thomas taps his greave against the floor a few times near Edaric's &quot;room&quot;.

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

Tavia:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Woof?&quot;

Calrach:<font color="#000000">&quot;So, what are the Guardians up to today?&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20-4 = 15 - 4 = 11&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; Listen check.

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Go get Edaric!&quot;

Tavia:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Woof!&quot; ^_^

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

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh dear.&quot; ^^;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">About an hour after leaving, and 75GP later, the Martial Artists return. =3=

Tavia:<font color="#0000FF">Okay, which one is his!? XD

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">&quot;Behold. Martial Art.&quot;

Tavia:<font color="#0000FF">AH HA! *POUNCE!*

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">x3

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">The Drow has an impressive array of bandages over his forearm. =3=

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">his left* forearm.

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Mmmwhadizzit -- ACK!&quot; Thwump.

Tavia:<font color="#0000FF">Hi! Wag wag wag. :&gt;

Tavia:<font color="#0000FF">Ooo, warm spot! Zzzzzzzzzzzz.

* Edaric blinks blearily and peeks out of the curtain. =3=

* Thomas Lazarus grins back. :B

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Morning.&quot; But that grin is entirely too smug for an early greeting.

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Mornin'.&quot; |3

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;Breakfast smells ready. See you soon~&quot;

* Edaric hides a yawn using a bit of curtain.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">Tromp tromp. |O

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh, good morning, Mr. Lightweave.&quot;

Calrach:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hello, good sir!&quot;

Calrach:<font color="#000000">&quot;Anything exciting on the agenda of the Guardians today?&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;... Wuzzat revenge for those Bandit wakeup calls years ago...?&quot;=3=

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

* Thomas Lazarus rubs his chin briefly.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;Today I believe we'll be meeting once again with the Leaden Mace commander to finalize our attack plans on castle Osyluth tomorrow. And... perhaps...&quot;

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

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

</i> * Sszeyl waves banaged hand as he eats.

You whisper to Ghostwish: To explain, when Edaric and Aelian were kids, Edaric's family had a dog named Bandit. Who enjoyed pouncing on sleeping guests in the morning. :B

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;Perhaps we could enlist Robin's help and try our last scrying gambit against those assassins. She knows the underworld places better than anyone else we'll chance across, I imagine.&quot;

Sszeyl: <font color="#996600">(( Has it been enough Downtime for Swallowtail to have leveled? =3= ))

Aelian whispers: Oh awesome. XD\

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

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

</i> * Thomas Lazarus furrows his brow a bit. &quot;I don't like the idea of wondering what they will do with themselves with another whole week.&quot;

Elros : Internet hiccuped.Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;They may track us. Or they may make more trouble here.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;Alert the Correllon church then.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;..Or they may lay low.&quot; He looks to Sszeyl. &quot;What do you think Drow assassins would do?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&#171; &#160;1d20+2 = 20 + 2 = 22&#160; <font color="#996600">&#187; Wis check!

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">CRITICAL ZEN WISDOM.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">On what? XD

* Thomas Lazarus starts!

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;Is your arm okay?&quot; D: Sszeyl: <font color="#996600">(( What Drow of the Assassination Orgolloyss branch would do. ))

Sszeyl: <font color="#996600">(( Because Helvirahel Assassins are well outside his reasonable bare minimum knowledge. ))

Sszeyl: <font color="#996600">(( =3=; So, fellow students are a faint line of reference. ))

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Either continue to observe the target or plan a second strike.

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;Continued observation, or a plan for another attack.&quot;

* Dr. Hatari plays his assassin theme music. =3= http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hNlAOGJiB9k&amp;feature

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;My arm?&quot;

Kor:<font color="#0000FF">Am nam nam nam, oatmeal. :&gt;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;It's fine, just letting the healing magic grow the skin back normally.&quot;

Elros ponders. when would someone be near a landmark.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hrm..&quot; He frowns and rubs his chin. &quot;..Then we would just be waiting for them to make the next move. I think we should try it. Scry them again today with our allies' help. We have no way of knowing when the 'time will be right' besides.&quot;

Elros : &quot;...hmm. if we suspected an imminent attack, perhaps that would be the best time to have the ring scried? It seems to me, that might be the time they are most likely to be somewhere recognizable.&quot;Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;It may be our best shot to roll the proverbial dice and have Robin nearby.&quot;

Elros : &quot;It wouldn't be much, but at least it might give us some better warning?&quot;Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;Perhaps.&quot;

* Sszeyl noms oatmeal, and gags.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;I would be inclined to agree, but how could we ever see it coming? They're competent.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;What -is- this stuff? o-O&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#996600">&quot;Oats.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">^^;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;It tastes like ground up seeds mixed with grasses.&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#996600">&quot;That's oats.&quot;

Elros : &quot;I don't know that myself. Other than a magical ward maybe, but I'm sure they'd have a means to get around even that.&quot;* Thomas Lazarus nods at Elros. &quot;Perhaps so. That's all my point. But... our 'friend' did offer advice, atleast.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;Mhm.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;The sun-blind sort of Drow stick to the night, don't they?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;If we scried this afternoon.. perhaps we could catch sight of them where they're bunking. And with the arcanist asleep, with luck.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;Or..&quot; He squints.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;Meditating. What elves do?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;There are twenty four hours in a day.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;We trance for four of them.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;There is a one in six chance of catching them Trancing.&quot;

Elros : &quot;Hmm, perhaps. At this stage, anything might be worth a try, if we think it has a reasonable chance of success.&quot;Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;Well. I still like those odds better than the default plan of pretending like everything is alright, and continuing our day like normal.&quot; &gt;: * Sszeyl flicks bandaged hand/forearm.

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;You're stressing too much.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;I'm just tired of that. They'll drive me insane if we have to keep doing it..&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;If we could just confront them..&quot; &gt;:|

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;We would win in direct combat.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;Our numbers are greater, we know the terrain better, and have more pools of skillsets to pull from.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;That's why they won't let us confront them directly.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;So let us enter in direct combat. Let us depart to the Leaden mace, take care of business there, and begin our hunting!&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;Um.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;I hate to shake the tree of reality.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;But Zairith is at least strong as two of us put together.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;And the leader didn't have any trouble putting his spell down. =3=&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;Bah, so morbid.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">Omf.

Elros : &quot;Nothing ventured, nothing gained.&quot;Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;They won't confront us directly because they're drow.&quot; Tathi says flatly.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;Then we'll just have to think of some kind of alternative to an arcane standoff. I can think of a few options.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;Lure them into a pack of Gargoyles? =3=&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;I don't know if you've noticed, but you're an exception, Sszeyl.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;Hmm?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">Headtilt.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;You're accepted.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Your race? Not so much.&quot; She pauses a moment, groaning as she grips her forehead.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;..In any case.. I really, really don't think 'Sir Ebonwood' would appreciate us introducing him to sister Malino.&quot; =3=;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">She sighs, and continues. &quot;If a pack of drow were to attack anyone openly, the reprecussions would be... fatal.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;Perhaps we should keep this business to the Mace, for today.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;So they attack with the only means they have.&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Lagcheck. Last line I saw - Tathi: &quot;So they attack with the only means they have.&quot; :38

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">last I saw too. :37

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">Up to date. :38

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Allright, just checkin'. :3

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Been building the scryable spot. =3=

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">Translating for Swallowtail.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">... and DANGIT I should have left the temple of Boccob in here after all! XD

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">His grasp of Amayan has improved...astoundingly.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">I nuked irc, so I have no way of checking if people are still rattling their keys apart about deification brainstorming. =3=;;;

Sszeyl: <font color="#996600">(( Oh? ))

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Don't mind me, carry on~

Sszeyl: <font color="#996600">(( It's moved to another channel, Hatari. ))

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">That doesn't technically help at all. :P

TMG:<font color="#000000">Oh yeah. Deification moved to #baschat

* Edaric finally trundles downstairs, bedheaded. =3=;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;..Did you not sleep well, Ed?&quot; Thomas looks aside from his cup.

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Mm? Nah, I slept okay.&quot; &#171; &#160;1d20+9 = 19 + 9 = 28&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; Bluff~

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh okay.&quot; |D

* Edaric omnoms oatmeal. :9

GM:<font color="#000000">So, Guardians, where to?

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">sorry, was paying with puppy.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">Once the sleepiness falls out of everyone's eyes, Thomas is ready to head off to the Mace on time. For the first time!

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Puppy! :D

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">We do not accept payment in the form of puppies. D|

Elros : I didn't know your puppy had a bank account.Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt and Calrach follow to the Mace

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">YOU DO NOW.

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">To the Mace~

Tavia:<font color="#0000FF">I has chair? :&gt;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Just getting everyone in the proper place for vworping. :3

Teeny Rin:<font color="#000000">Burp. =3=

* Thomas Lazarus heads on inside!

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">TATHI GANG ADVANCES.

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

* Samuel Hartwood is sitting on the floor playing with Smoke. .D

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">omg a dorf?

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

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

Gilric Golrunn:<font color="#000000">&quot;Eh? Ah, good afternoon to yeh.&quot;

Elros : I need to get Danny in here so he can speak Scottish with you.* Gilric Golrunn looks back at the Malinos. &quot;... whaddo I say next?&quot;

Elros : &gt;.&gt;Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi tilts her head. A dwarf?

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;Heh. No need to sweat the formalities, brother.&quot;

* Robin Malino chuckles. &quot;What can we do for you today is a good start, Gilric.&quot; |3

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;So, I believe we are here to finalize some details before the operation tomorrow...&quot;

Gilric Golrunn:<font color="#000000">&quot;Ruddy desk duty.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus wonders if he'll ever have to do desk duties. |O

Gilric Golrunn:<font color="#000000">&quot;... ach, ye'll be wantin' the commander or lieutenant commander then?&quot; ^^;

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

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;Mm. We had a bit of informal business for the commander today, as well. Regarding those assassins on the loose.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;With luck, we'll finally be able to get that out of our hair soon.&quot;

Gilric Golrunn:<font color="#000000">&quot;Will one a' yeh go check an' see if the lieutenant commander's still all dazey?&quot; the dwarf asks over his shoulder.

* Laughing Woman giggles.

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

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi quirks a brow. &quot;Dazey?&quot;

Gilric Golrunn:<font color="#000000">&quot;Ach. 'E's been makin' holy water. Apparently, yer not supposed ta fire off a day's worth of divine magic in tha space of eleven minutes without space between yer spells.&quot; The dwarf chuckles. &quot;When Skar went ta check on 'im, 'e was starin' off inta space with a smile, all bemused-like. Been like that all morning.&quot;

* Dr. Hatari drowns in pets :O

Gilric Golrunn:<font color="#000000">&quot;Thas' why I'm on desk duty an' not him.&quot; :B

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">... Oh wow. :B

* Samuel Hartwood hasn't even noticed the arrival of the party yet. Dog. .D

Tavia:<font color="#0000FF">Dog, you say?

TMG:<font color="#000000">That...is awesome flavor, Liatai. xD

Samuel Hartwood:<font color="#000000">.D !

Amadre:<font color="#0000FF">Smoke! Hi! :D

Tavia:<font color="#0000FF">Sniff. You smell like forests. :O

Smoke:<font color="#000000">Hi! :D

Elros : pardon me, for I should like to enter, but it seems that my feet are slightly stuck.Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">BROWN DOGS, GREEN DOGS, ONE DOG, THREE DOGS.

* Samuel Hartwood doesn't have enough hands. XD

* Ghostwish slaps the seuss out of the doktor.

* Samuel Hartwood offers pettings to all criters that come near. .D

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">^^;; &quot;Really.. now? How incredibly out of character for him. I think I'll take a look, myself. Where was he resting?&quot;

Tavia:<font color="#0000FF">Mmm, pettings. ^_^

Elros : hmm, Fae is getting kinda hungry. &gt;.&gt;* Thomas Lazarus notes Samuel being all friendly and happy. :o !

Elros : Would now be an acceptble time to go grab some food?Liatai:<font color="#000000">Sure. No gaming hungry. x3

Elros : Alright, brbGilric Golrunn:<font color="#000000">&quot;Think 'e's still wanderin' around upstairs somewhere.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus covers his mouth. &quot;...&quot; ^^;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;Alright. Thank you, brother. I'll try to make it quick.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus jogs off up the stairs.

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">&quot;You all want to pull up a chair or something?&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi glances over towards the table, peering at a new face. &quot;Who's the laughing woman over there?&quot; She asks.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Oop, give me two shakes, got to find appropriate music. x3

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">The smaller members take seats at the table

* Thomas Lazarus smiles and walks down the corridor with a wave. &quot;Good afternoon, brother. How're you feeling?&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Aack, phone!

* Thomas Lazarus is TIMEFROZEN!

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">D: * Cadamon Gardner looks up at Thomas when he speaks, having been staring off into space. He looks very calm and.... very happy. :)

Cadamon Gardner:<font color="#000000">&quot;Good afternoon, brother, I'm fine, just fine. Splendid, as a matter of fact. How are you this day?&quot; :)

* Thomas Lazarus covers his mouth again. ^^;

Robin Malino:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh! That's my friend Alissa.&quot; :D &quot;She's on trial as a junior inquisitor!&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;..Oh.. you know. As well as can be expected.&quot;

* Flint Carthan snorts. &quot;Should've seen the commander's face when he heard there was another Olidamarra-worshipper looking to join our ranks.&quot; |3

Alissa Remina:<font color="#000000">The woman giggles.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;I figure I could give him a heart attack if I tried to join.&quot; Tathi says with a smirk.

Calrach:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hey, didn't I see you at the Talespinner?&quot; Calrach says to &quot;Alissa&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;I was actually looking for you on behalf of the guardians. Regarding the matter of selecting officers for taking part in the siege, and finalizing the details and such.&quot;

Alissa Remina:<font color="#000000">&quot;The where?&quot;

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

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;..You know.&quot; He folds his arms while still smirking somewhat.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;Perhaps I'll let you finish that up and catch the commander.&quot; ^^

Cadamon Gardner:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh, the holy water? No, I finished that quite a while ago.&quot; ^^

* Thomas Lazarus just bites his lower lip and turns away. xd

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">will be popping out to check on the puppy every so often. :&gt;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">Rap rap rap. Forevermore.

* Cadamon Gardner doesn't seem to mind. :) He's looking off into space again...

Alberic Ashmore:<font color="#000000">&quot;Identify yourself?&quot;

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">ITS TATHI. OPEN UP OR ILL OPEN HER FOR YA.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;Junior Inquisitor Lazarus, commander.&quot;

Alberic Ashmore:<font color="#000000">&quot;Enter.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus slips inside.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;Good afternoon. The guardians are all assembled to finalize details, today.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus distractedly glances at the hallway again.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;..Brother Gardner is going to be.. okay, right?&quot;

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

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">That'll teach yas.

* Alberic Ashmore ... actually smirks somewhat at that. &quot;He will be fine. It's only a matter of time until the rapture wears off. Has your group come to a decision as to which inquisitors they favor to accompany them during the seige?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;We have, I believe so.&quot;

Alberic Ashmore:<font color="#000000">Where did you come from, gnome.

TMG:<font color="#000000">..wait, where -is- the commander and Thomas?

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Commander's office. :B

TMG:<font color="#000000">...and the rest of us didn't go with him? o.O

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Apparently not? :B

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;..Mm, yes, we have. The consensus turned out to be brother Skar and Gardner.&quot; He smirks a bit sheepishly.

Gilric Golrunn:<font color="#000000">&quot;... nae enough chairs...&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">Thomas ran upstairs to fetch Cadamon. But seeing as Cadamon is blown out of his mind, he detoured to fetch the commander. :B

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">So gnogglebolt just pops out of the commander's desk.. XD

TMG:<font color="#000000">...since &quot;heaven&quot; is typically thematically &quot;above&quot;, I suppose it's quite accurate to say Cadamon is very, very high. :B

Alberic Ashmore:<font color="#000000">&quot;Very well. I will inform them.&quot; The commander pauses. &quot;... in about an hour.&quot;

TMG:<font color="#000000">High on Heavan...sounds like a band. :B

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yes, sir. Was there any business regarding the operation you wished to relay to the guardians? Or shall I have them disperse for the time being?&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Aelian.. I wonder, have you thought about joining the Leaden Mace?&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">Inquisitors everywhere, spit-take with me.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">=3=&gt;&gt;&gt;

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">A laser pops out of a nearby portal and hits Tom in the side of the head. John: Sorry!

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">I HATE THE FUTURE.

Alberic Ashmore:<font color="#000000">&quot;Only to inform them that our operatives will be arriving at their headquarters tomorrow morning for departure, with supplies for your group to make use of during the seige should they be needed.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;Understood.&quot; He lingers a moment.

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Oh, I was hoping Liatai would answer for Aelian. ^_^

* Aelian blinks and considers...

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;..And, there was one final bit of unrelated business.&quot; He straightens his posture a bit. &quot;I understand you're busy, but it's rather pressing for us.&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#000000">&quot;Never before. To be completely honest, I had never heard of the Society prior to meeting your group.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;We've come into a personal possession of one of the assassins harassing and hunting us. It was my hope it could be scried on today. And, perhaps with a bit of sister Malino's insight and luck, we could finally deduce where those vermin are hiding from us.&quot;

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

* Alberic Ashmore steeples his fingers.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;They seem to be your sort. Relentless tracking down evil, but I suppose you're more of the precise take-down from a distance sort, while they tend to be the kick down the door and turn the lot of them group.&quot; She says, smiling over at Richter. &quot;Is my target close? Well.. you are an incredible tracker, and they could definitely use that.&quot;

Alberic Ashmore:<font color="#000000">&quot;Granted, as this is not a Leaden Mace case per se, standard scrier's fees would need to be charged.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;Understood.&quot; *hopes the others can cover it =w=;;;;*

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">I swear Tom, you and your drinking problems...

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">Tankin' ain't easy. *shades*

Elros : You're one to talk, coughAlberic Ashmore:<font color="#000000">&quot;Gather Inquisitor Malino and the rest of your group, then...&quot; The commander pauses. &quot;... How many of them are down in the common room right now?&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus quails a bit. &quot;Ah.. uh..&quot; ^^;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;The other nine of them. Excluding dogs and cats.&quot;

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

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

* Alberic Ashmore stands. &quot;... Change of plans, then.&quot; He starts to gather his scrying materials.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;Thank you, sir.&quot;

Alberic Ashmore:<font color="#000000">&quot;Kindly open the door.&quot; The commander's hands are full at the moment.

* Samuel Hartwood blinks at Tathi's words. After a while... &quot;... I can track.&quot;

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">&quot;Besides. Most of our enemies are urban, not wild.&quot;

Smoke:<font color="#000000">Track? :D I can do that!

* Thomas Lazarus holds the door.

TMG:<font color="#000000">I can so imagine that scene. xDThomas delivers the line with a totally straight face.

Meany:<font color="#996600">Ahoy.

TMG:<font color="#000000">Ashmore blinks. Just blinks. The most emotion he's ever shown. Awkward pause.

TMG:<font color="#000000">Then he gets up. x3

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">Meanwhile, every inquisitor and guardian is downstairs, throwing some crazy Hoo-ville christmas party. :B

Kor:<font color="#0000FF">YOUUUUUUUUU. :O

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Really? I would have imagined most necromancers would have taken to the outlying areas.. Are they all crypt bound then?&quot;

Marius Venatore:<font color="#000000">Some of us are perfectly happy to sit right in the capital, in a nice office. Working for the King, even.

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;Commander.&quot; A shallow nod of acknowledgement.&quot;

Alberic Ashmore:<font color="#000000">Have a shallow nod back.

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

* Richter Malino and the other inquisitors that are sitting at the table stand to make room... Richter pauses a moment, then looks at Gnogglebolt and clears his throat quietly. &quot;... um. Gnogglebolt. Commander's chair.&quot; &gt;.&gt;;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;Sorry about the delay, everyone. Brother Gardner was indisposed.&quot; |3

* Flint Carthan chuckles. &quot;I can imagine.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi is going to be sitting right next to the commander? Ho boy..

Alberic Ashmore:<font color="#000000">&quot;Junior Inquisitor Lazarus has informed me of your choices, and of the fact that you may be interested in a scrying.&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">Why can I see her just rifling around in his pockets with this condemning, awed expression? :P

Sszeyl: <font color="#996600">(( TMG ping. ))

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

TMG:<font color="#000000">sorry, was afk

* Thomas Lazarus simply folds his arms behind his back and stands at attention. An ex-templar has no need of chairs.

Alberic Ashmore:<font color="#000000">Saint Cuthbert is neutral on the good-evil scale, you know. My patron does not condemn using 'evil' spells for good intentions like preventing elven pickpocketing. &gt;:|

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Challange accepted. &gt;:3

Alberic Ashmore:<font color="#000000">&quot;Inquisitor Malino, your expertise was requested, as well.&quot;

* Robin Malino starts. &quot;Me?&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus nods slightly.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">--- ffffff I drew the scrying spot on the wrong map. XD

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;..Truth be told, we had one previous opportunity where we scried on this group, using a different article. It ended up being an alley we had no hope of recognizing.&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Talk amongst yourselves, gonna rebuild it... XD

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;This will probably be our last chance. It stands to reason that if there's anything recognizable at all around.. well. You'll be the most qualified to recognize it.&quot; He smiles faintly. &quot;Inquisitor.&quot;

Alberic Ashmore:<font color="#000000">&quot;A keen insight, junior inquisitor.&quot;

Alberic Ashmore:<font color="#000000">&quot;As this is not a Leaden Mace case officially, standard scrier's fees of 450 gold pieces would need to be charged. Is this acceptable?&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus stonefaces. =3=;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...I'll cover it, I suppose. I've got quite a purse saved up for the school.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;It is.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">*counts out platinum

* Alberic Ashmore gestures for the newly-minted Inquisitor Malino to stand by. &quot;Where is this item to be scried on?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Dunno HOW I typo-spasm'd that badly.

* Thomas Lazarus nods to Elros.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;10173-450 = 10173 - 450 = 9723&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Elros : Elros takes out the old ring, and holds it out for the others to see.Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">It amuses me how Tom has spent no fewer than three occasions wondering how he was going to eat and sleep at night while the rest of the group is rolling filthy in gold. :B

Barbarus:<font color="#996600">My bathwater is full of poor peole's tears.

Elros : &quot;This. it has not belonged to it's original owner for...a long time. But we're hopeful it may still be of use.&quot;Barbarus:<font color="#996600">people's(

Elros sets it in Ashmore's hand.

* Alberic Ashmore casts the spell... All drow dialogue is going to be in Undercommon, so we'll need a translator. Who speaks it?

Meany:<font color="#996600">This ring of mine glows with an awesome power.

Sszeyl: <font color="#996600">(( :B ))

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">We now return you to your scene already in progress. :B

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Can everyone see?

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">I ken.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;..How fortunate. There was a white-haired one last time. She intercepted the scrying.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">=3=

* Assassin with a Golden Eye sighs. &quot;I've already told you, unless you want to stay in one place for the whole day, there's not much I can do.&quot;

* Nine-Fingered Assassin snorts. &quot;Like you? No thank you. Some of us need to do actual work.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">And the seal, I guess.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">... fff I need to look up what knowledge skill is needed.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">You know nothing aside from the sigil is shiny and the stitched-together body is gross. :B

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">Craft: Painting check?

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt cranes his neck. &quot;Can anyone tell where that is?&quot;

Assassin with a Golden Eye:<font color="#000000">&quot;Eight to nine days. Normally I wouldn't bother with such fragile and... disgusting materials. But it should blend in better.&quot;

You whisper to Ghostwish: Whuh-oh. That, right there, is a flesh golem in the making.

Robin Malino:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hard to tell...&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi grits her teeth. &quot;That.. is the process for making a flesh golem.&quot;

Assassin with a Golden Eye:<font color="#000000">&quot;Unless you want to deal with it berserking every thirty seconds, then no,&quot; the man grumbles.

Robin Malino:<font color="#000000">&quot;Could be any wooden buidling... if only the building had windows!&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi makes a mental note to brush up on flesh golems.. Strengths, weaknesses, everything.

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;...If only this included smells.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;Perhaps you could tell the district at least. :9&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus mumbles. &quot;Luck isn't on our side, it seems.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">Brb, assume translating.

Robin Malino:<font color="#000000">&quot;Well... flesh golems take a lot of magic to make, right? They're probably in one of the magic-centric districts of the city to cover their arcane signatures.&quot;

Elros : &quot;Hm. Were we so lucky that they did rush it. It might take care of them for us.&quot;Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Good catch! Even though those are the lowliest of golems, the process of making any golem tends to need a lot of resources and magic.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus shakes his head at the image slightly.

Nine-Fingered Assassin:<font color="#000000">&quot;... Can't you just slap that detection spell Thaticice uses on me?&quot; &gt;:\

* Assassin with a Golden Eye sighs, as if summoning reserves of patience. &quot;Thaticice is a special case, I've told you before.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;..Atleast they have not detected us. Perhaps we should end the vision before that woman returns, and they grow wise to our second scrying tie. This doesn't seem to be what we needed.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus: <font color="#0">(( I will run your school into the GROUND with scrying costs, Gnogglebolt. :B ))

Alberic Ashmore:<font color="#000000">&quot;Likely a wise choice.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;Thank you for the induldgence.&quot;

* Alberic Ashmore ends the spell.

* Sszeyl peeks under his bandages to see if the skin's grown back. :9

* Thomas Lazarus steps away with a frown.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;Indeed. Thank you anyways, sister. Commander.&quot;

* Swallowtail pokes Sszeyl's shoulder. &quot;Let it rest overnight or it'll be tender for days.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;Sure.&quot; xU

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hmm. Well, at least we have a good idea of which district to start looking in.&quot;

Alberic Ashmore:<font color="#000000">&quot;It may not have been what you originally sought, but clearly you have some intelligence you did not possess before.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;It's something.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus nods faintly.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;And it seems they're too busy to the looking for us, so they shouldn't see us coming.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">*too busy to be

* Alberic Ashmore begins to gather up his scrying materials again.

Elros : &quot;Ironic that. But yes, thank you. Anything is better than nothing.&quot;Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;Thomas, did you inform the Commander of our vote?&quot;

Alberic Ashmore:<font color="#000000">&quot;He did. Inquisitor Skar and the Lieutenant Commander.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;Excellent. :3&quot;

* Richter Malino looks a little disappointed. &gt;: * Thomas Lazarus still seems a little petulant that Anise isn't coming. =3=

* Sszeyl bites cheek. Damn you sad Richter face. :T

* Alissa Remina prods Richter's... arm, since she's a little short to reach up to his shoulder. :B &quot;Hey, don't look so down! Now you'll get to show me around the archives!&quot;

Alberic Ashmore:<font color="#000000">&quot;I will inform them to make ready. They will be arriving at your headquarters tomorrow morning for departure.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;Very good.&quot;

Elros : &quot;Excellent.&quot;* Thomas Lazarus nods.

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;...It occurs to me, my present wagon won't be enough to transport us all.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Alright, it seems we have our plans set out...let us now go act on them!&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;I'll get another one later.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;..I believe there were some weapons we yet needed to pick up this evening, anyways.&quot;

Alberic Ashmore:<font color="#000000">&quot;Good luck to you, Guardians, Junior Inquisitor.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus salutes as the commander passes. &quot;Thank your, sir.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">The little men head out the door with everyone.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;So...if they need supplies and are somewhere in the arcane district...&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus offers the other inquisitors a somewhat dejected wave before heading out for Pelor's temple. He has a blessed brand to aquire!

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Are the supplies for a 'flesh golem' specialized and specific?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;I mean, aside from the obvious.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;..Calrach, Gnogglebolt, would you like mounts?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;I don't mean to be insulting...but from what I can see locomotion for you two is less efficient than it is for the rest of us.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+3 = 8 + 3 = 11&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; Knowledge check. :d

* Edaric shrugs.

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&#171; &#160;1d20+3 = 12 + 3 = 15&#160; <font color="#996600">&#187; Knowledge Arcana check.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&#171; &#160;1d20+17 = 9 + 17 = 26&#160; <font color="#0000FF">&#187; Knowledge Arcana!

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt grimaces. &quot;An animal-drawn cart will be fine, but I'd rather not actually ride an animal if I can help it...&quot;

* Barbarus pokes Gnogglebolt.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;..Well.. a cart should be alright. It's just going to be a long trip. And not nearly so long as the trip to the coast to meet with Salishea. We ought to make a good pace.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Anyway, I ask because if the supplies are specialized, then we can visit all the dealers of such things and ask who's bought things like that recently.&quot;

You whisper to Ghostwish: Six component bodies for the limbs, torso, and brain, and some special ungents that are used in various quantities for golem creation.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;And then see if we can follow any leads from there.&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#996600">&quot;Want me to keep your lab cleaned up while you're gone? .9&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus shrugs.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Be back in a few, talk amongst yourselves. :3 Must get food.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;..Well. You remember what Rhylinar said. They wouldn't bother buying from junkyards or alchemists. They would just steal what they needed.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi grimaces a bit. &quot;It's a bit.. gruesome. Six bodies, more or less intact, and then some special reagents in various quantities. All in all, the messiest of golems.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;I imagine it's the same case here.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt looks up at Barbrus. &quot;Oh, I think I'll be bringing most of my materials with me.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt looks back to Tathi and Thomas. &quot;Ah, that's even better.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus holds an open palm up at the golem-talk. &quot;..All I know is that they're not undead. Just macabre.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;We'll visit all the suppliers of these 'reagents' and ask who's had their stock lifted recently.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Then see if we can track from there.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi ponders, wondering if she knows where one might find these reagents.

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

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

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">What about Calrach? :p

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">Question was aimed at him too.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">I think a locate spell might actually be in the ballpark of usefulness if we could narrow it down to a 1-block radius. It's like.. 640 feet or so of detection.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">Not that this guy would ever know that.

GM:<font color="#000000">Knowledge Local or Arcana may be of use to track down said dealers.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;|B&quot;

GM:<font color="#000000">... but none of them have had stock stolen. Or even bought. Slow days for golem builders, it seems. The shopkeepers can tell you that it's highly advanced magic to be able to make any golem at all, though there are rumors of strange books that can let weaker spellcasters create them.

Elros : I'll ignore what I darned well please!Liatai:<font color="#000000">XD

Elros : I mean... &gt;.&gt;Calrach:<font color="#000000">&quot;...hrm. Well, that lead dried up awfully fast.&quot;

Calrach:<font color="#000000">&quot;Lack of evidence leaves no trail for the Vigilant Guardians to follow! Uncertainty of the future abound!&quot;

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;That one did say hat it would take eight or nine days to finish the golem.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;I think it's safe to assume they are building it in the field deliberately to use in another assault on us.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Which means, furthermore, it's safe to assume they probably won't do anything else until then. We can probably take care of Pamela and be back before they're done.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;Agreed.&quot;

* Flint Carthan snorts. &quot;Silly mutt.&quot;

Smoke:<font color="#000000">WOOF

Smoke:<b><font color="#000000">WOOF

</b>* Thomas Lazarus offers a casual salute and smile.

Amadre:<font color="#0000FF">Ohai! ^_^

* Thomas Lazarus leans his head out the door and smirks at Smoke.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hush, you.&quot;

Elros : And Ezer says &quot;Dogs! Dogs! D: &quot;* Cadamon Gardner returns the salute and smile. :3 &quot;We're not too early, I hope?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hello, friends!&quot;

* Smoke looks straight at Tom and WOOFS one last time. =3=

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;Not at all. Everyone is up and just finishing breakfast.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;Please, step inside a moment.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;We have burnt polenta and tea to share.&quot; |3

Cadamon Gardner:<font color="#000000">&quot;Thank you.&quot; :3 Cadamon enters, followed by Flint, Landon, and Smoke. Cadamon is carrying a pack bearing the sign of the Leaden Mace on the buckle.

Smoke:<font color="#000000">Burnt means it's for the dogs, right? :D

* Landon Skar nods to the Guardians before stepping in.

Elros : if the dogs really want it that much, why not.* Thomas Lazarus ruffles Smoke's head and tosses his ears about. &gt;:3

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

* Smoke slurps. &gt;:9

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;So noisy..&quot; He looks up. &quot;So then, I take it you're all prepared? What's all this you've brought along, brother?&quot;

Cadamon Gardner:<font color="#000000">&quot;Supplies! On loan from the armories, though, so the pack and whatever we don't use should go back to them once the mission is complete.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus nods.

* Cadamon Gardner opens the pack; A Heward's Handy Haversack containing 11 potions of Cure Light Wounds (1d8+1), 100 feet of silk rope, a grappling hook, 5 sets of manacles, 33 flasks of holy water, 22 rations, a masterwork dagger, and 2 vials of antitoxin.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">*Saved!*

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">How reminiscent of the Boss Lady goodie-packs. :9

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Belonging to a guild has its perks. x3

GM:<font color="#000000">Roll call, who's here?

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">yo

Amadre:<font color="#0000FF">Woof!

Cadamon Gardner:<font color="#000000">&quot;There should be plenty of time to properly divide them on the road... Are you all ready for departure?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;Quite.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">Any comments on the ink? :B

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;Aye.&quot; He bangs his scabbard and shield once with the back of his gauntlet. &quot;Rested, fed, enchanted, and broke.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;As ready as an adventurer gets, or so I hear.&quot;

GM:<font color="#000000">There's one other thing to decide before the party starts its journey. And that is... Does anyone want to take control of an NPC during battles? If so, state your claims. :3

GM:<font color="#000000">Edaric, Cadamon, Flint, and Landon are all up for grabs.

Sszeyl: <font color="#996600">(( Not I. =3= ))

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">I'm.. really sorry, but I am struggling just to stay awake. =3=;

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">: Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">I'm gonna have to bow out here.

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Well... let's claim NPCs, and maybe end the game for this week?

GM:<font color="#000000">It's fine, rest well. Shall we follow Ghost's suggestion?

Elros : considering Hatari is passing out and I'm half a step above not having a client.Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">I went to bed ealier and everything. Acid reflux woke me again in 3 hours. =e=

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">Couldn't get a wink after.

TMG:<font color="#000000">will you be okay for greedeverse tomorrow, hatari? :B

Liatai:<font color="#000000">&gt;: *gives Tums*

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">I rather doubt I'll have trouble getting to sleep in this state.

GM:<font color="#000000">All right, any last-minute noms?

TMG:<font color="#000000">Hmm...can't think of anything else...

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">I don't whine about it. I was still probably the most active while falling into my chair and blinking drearily. I'm just.. drawing the line. Miserable. ^^;

GM:<font color="#000000">Sszeyl - 100 XP - Inked. The start of a journey toward prestigedom!

TMG:<font color="#000000">So, we ending the game early today?

* Dr. Hatari noms Sszeyl for breakfast battler. =3=

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">I genuinely don't mind and encourage you to keep playing if you want. But whatever ya'll wish to do.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">I'll just have to catch a log. G'night.

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">I nom Smoke for Speak the Dog. :&gt;
