Twelve ounces of the most popular gaming drink. Known by many names -

A vending machine with a giant picture of a can of Mountain Dew surrounded by

ice, on the front. To convince it to give you a can, type 'create generic

mountain dew with soda machine'. To take your drink from the hopper, type

'take mountain dew from soda machine'.

You can't see what's inside.

A digital display lists permitted parentables:

Generic Mountain Dew (aka md, ambrosia, quintessence, pattern, nectar of the

gods, NoG, and mountain dew)

way, tho."

D has devised a hideous torture for Beth and AlMarth

You say, "That's good to know, D. Zyka, what does your favorite Sobe

look/tast like..."

Zyka says, "I drink the pink Lizard Fuel that's strawberry banana and opaque.

The lid says amusing things about lizards (the Sobe mascot) The last one I

had said 'Full Metal Lizard'..."

Zyka says, "Others have said 'I love the smell of lizards in the morning' and

'Mounties eat lizards, eh?'"

Zyka loves those Sobe caps.

D says, "They do?"

Zyka nods. "yep."

D says, "I didn't know Mounties did that... I'm developing a whole new horror

D says, "A what now?"

Zyka says, "Kunoichi. Female ninja."

D says, "Theres actually 53 states, the other three just don't admit it. Costa

Rica, Mexico, and Canada."

D says, "I see."

Zyka says, "RIIIIIght..."

Zyka says, "Actually, we have a TV show called Talking to Americans, where the

host, Rick Mercer, goes around in a random US city and asks Yankees what they

think about 'Canadian news'. For instance, 'how do you feel about Canada

switching to the 24 hour clock from the old 20 hour one?'"

You say, "Tyson, go here and listen to 'The White House Burned':

Zyka says, "Ah, yes, the war of 1812."

Zyka says, "Fun for the whole familly"

You say, "You've heard of them, eh?"

D says, "K. Hmm... I've watched some Candian Tv.. Is it all as... inexplicable

yet slightly amusing as the Red Green show?"

You say, "With a name like 'Three Dead Trolls in a Baggie', they couldn't

possibly suck."

D says, "That dude scares me."

Zyka says, "I've heard of the war of 1812, which started as a trade dispute

between France and Britan and ended with the Canadians burning the white

house..."

D says, "We burnt your capital too at one point, if I remember correctly?"

Zyka says, "I haven't heard of that group, but a Canadian group called the

Arrogant Worms wrote a song about it, too."

You say, "C'mon, D. The guys on tRGS aren't any crazier than Tim on Home

Improvement."

D says, "Home Improvement kinda sucks dude."

D says, "I like the Red Green Show. It's.... inexplicable."

You say, "That was a pretty silly war, all in all. We got are butts kicked

for most of it. By the time we actually smeared the Brits in the Battle of

New Orleans, the peace treaty had already been signed."

Zyka says, "TRGS is classic Canadiana. That and the Royal Canadian Air Farce,

Made in Canada, This Hour Has 22 Minutes and the Worms."

Eclipse misses Kids in the Hall.

Zyka says, "That Dion person isn't a canadian at all..."

D would just settle for more Red Dwarf and Black Adder

Zyka says, "Ah, yes, and WE have Dave Foley!"

D says, "Barring than, Evil Dead 4, and Phantasm 5 would be a treat. Sigh."

D says, "Isn't he dead?"

Zyka says, "What I mean is that he comes from Canada."

D says, "So you have a dead guy? Isn't that a bit oderous?"

Zyka says, "Maybe, but his comedy doesn't stink!"

You say, "Can you imagine Red as your GM?"

Zyka mutters "but mine does...

D says, "Nope."

Zyka says, "Which reminds me... can we have a duct tape machine?"

D says, "What would it be like? Haven't watched enough to really tell"

You say, "<default GM response>"

Zyka says, "You should all hear the Mountie Song by the Worms."

D says, "How bout handcuffs and gags?"

You say, "Look, I've seen the horrors of barbequed wench. Handcuffs, gags,

and duct tape just plain scare me. Besides, they'd be a bitch to program."

D has seen the clothing help file, now how do we make some?

You say, "You don't."

D has also looked at the trust help file, now show me to the x-socials

You say, "I like playing with a bunch of naked players. It makes me feel at

Zyka says, "'I really don't look good in red and my stupid hat flies off my

normal clothes. I don't wanna have to smile for diplomats' home videos...

Dudley Doright's such a JERK! Although he tries with all his heart, my horse

couldn't catch a shopping cart. Some days I hate to go to work..."

D says, "Egh, bad image! Bad image!"

Zyka stops singing Worms.

D says, "God, America may suck, but I'm glad I'm not a Canadian. That'd be

almost as bad as being French."

Zyka says, "Je parle francais. Ma taunte est francais-canadienne."

<OOC> Octavius says, "I have academics"

Zyka signs on the dotted (?) line.

Enola Galen signs it.

Octavius trieses to read it first before signing.

You say, "Zyka, you don't like the way he smiles at you as he takes the sheets

of parchment from you."

Zyka shifts her grip on her staff...

Hugon looks down his really long line.

You say, "That's what the linguistics check was about. The questions are

detailed, and many are personal. Some seem utterly irrelevant. It is all

clearly bureaucratic double-speak."

Octavius pages, "n/m I'll try to get the books at the con I am going to

tomarrow."

Enola Galen says, "Let's just hope they disallow imported spirits.""

Eclipse lol. "Let's hope so."

Octavius signs with a clearly disgusted look on his face.

<OOC> You say, "Though they have a wide variety of domestic spirits available."

<OOC> Octavius says, "By the way Myshari have naturally red hair right?"

You say, "Hugon, eventually you get to the front of the line, hand over your

papers, and are waved through the gates."

Hugon wanders out of your line. "I forgot how much fun that can be."

<OOC> You say, "Some do."

<OOC> Octavius says, "cool."

<OOC> Zyka grins "it is rather, isn't it?"

<OOC> Octavius says, "Yep."

Hugon looks around for the others.

Octavius says, "How do you feel about coming home Hugon?"

You say, "Aside from the serpentine smiles of the customs officials, you pass

into the country without incident."

Zyka looks around for Hugon and joins him.

Octavius ises walking with the other lead is horse with his left hand and his

staff in the right.

Enola Galen says, "A new country. This is wonderful. So, where do we need to

go from here?""

Hugon says, "It's a big country, Octavius."

Zyka looks impartial and perhaps a little bored.

You say, "The city of Landsend is large. All that remains now is finding a

way to track Iphigenia's kidnapers..."

<OOC> Octavius says, "Is anyone here streetwise?"

<OOC> Zyka says, "no."

<OOC> Enola Galen says, "(Nope)"

Enola Galen says, "Let's. Are there any landmarks in this city?""

<OOC> Zyka says, "Fermez ta bouche, Tyson!"

Hugon pages, "Would I know any landmarks here?"

<OOC> You say, "Or rather, 'Follow the bloodstained road. Follow the

bloodstained road...'"

<OOC> D says, "Of course, in this case, Yellow brick road would be more in

line with trail of mangled corpses, but it's still good advice"

<OOC> Hugon thought he would just follow the sounds of freaky cat

noises...@#;+)

Octavius looks worried, Cities have never b een my favorite terran.

<OOC> Eclipse wimpers

Enola Galen says, "Do we know anything about these kidnappers?""

<OOC> Zyka will have nightmares for weeks

Hugon has received your page: "There are plenty of landmarks. What did you

have in mind?"

<OOC> Enola Galen says, "(What does the city look like? And what's the weather

like?)"

Zyka spits "Tanaks."

<OOC> Octavius says, "Does anyone remeber if we do?"

Enola Galen says, "All of them?""

You say, "The weather is cooler here than it was in Magrothea. The clouds

overhead are grey and promise rain."

Zyka says, "I only know the one, and it's a tanak."

Hugon pages, "(looks around for any sort of list) Umm, how about an inn?"

Octavius nodses.

Hugon appears to be deep in thought.

<OOC> D says, "Must.. resist... urge... to help..."

Hugon has received your page: "The major inns are The Emperor Inn, the Grey

Gull Hostel, and the Sign of the Fire Drake. There are churches, war

monuments, a minor High Point, and a university."

Octavius lookses up at the grey sky and has a very sorrwerful look on his face.

<OOC> Zyka says, ""Hee hee hee... D's an it!"

Octavius has received your page: "give me a Per + Awareness check, dif 9. No

Hugon rolled 6d10: 4, 10, 8, 10, 8, 4; totalling 44.

Enola Galen rolled 2d10: 4, 5; totalling 9.

<OOC> Zyka says, ""Why?"

Enola Galen says, "Well, I'm agree. We need somewhere to bunk down, plan what

to do next. How do we know they're in this city, anyway?""

You say, "Hugon and Zyka, you notice that your group is being carefully

watched by many of the natives. Some very dangerous-looking characters

appear to be trailing you."

<OOC> Hugon says, "Goody..."

Zyka shifts her grip on her staff in a tense manner

Hugon pages, "Can the owl tell if there are mages by looking at their avatars

in the Umbra?"

<OOC> Zyka says, "is it melee time?"

You say, "A band of watchmen in chainmail stop you, and demand your papers."

<OOC> Zyka says, "do we have papers from customs?"

Hugon has received your page: "Use a Spirit 1 Effect, dif 3 (w/ Focus). 2

successes."

Enola Galen says, "There you are, officer.""

Hugon pages, "1 Success."

<OOC> Zyka says, "'These aren't the droids you're looking for?'"

Hugon says, "Sir, I'm a native."

Hugon says, "Of Golgotha."

You say, "The watchmen examine your papers carefully, their suspicion obvious.

Eventually, they return them and wave you on. (Hugon, they regard you with

less suspicion, though it is clear they do not approve of a citizen

fratrinizing with foreigners.)"

Enola Galen says, "I tell you, someone would be a lot less hostil if they just

got a little light once in a while...""

Hugon has received your page: "You sense Avatars in the area, but it might

very well be the cabals'."

Enola Galen says, "Honestly, what do you get for living in a climate like

this, tax breaks?""

<OOC> Eclipse winces.

<OOC> Zyka says, "are the scary people still following us, or were they the

guards?"

You say, "The head watchman smiles at you. 'What's the matter, daisy-eater?

Doesn't it ever rain on that tree trunk where you live?""

<OOC> You say, "Oh, they're following you still. The guards appear to have

noticed and opted not to care."

!!! A checkpoint has begun. During the next few minutes, you will experience

slow response time (AKA lag). Be patient, grasshopper.

!!! The checkpoint has finished. After a suspenseful 2 seconds, the world is

saved once more.

Zyka still looks tense.

<OOC> D says, "What race is Enola?"

Enola Galen says, "City bred, thank you. I'm just saying that cities need not

be so....grey. I mean, with just a few alterations to the street structure,

you could make this place so much prettier on the eye....""

Enola Galen ( Elf )

Hugon holds up his hand. "Please forgive her. She has not done a lot of

travelling and has not seen much outside of her homeland."

You say, "He grunts. 'Nature, like all things, exists to be conquered by the

Empire. Soon, even you daisy-eaters will build cities to suit our tastes.'"

Zyka says, "Be thankful for this, Enola. Sometimes beauty hides danger."

<OOC> Octavius says, "What did I miss?"

<OOC> You say, "What's an evil empire if it doesn't make you feel like you'"

Hugon says, "As we pass, I pend down and whisper in Octavius' ear, "We're

being followed, don't look back.""

Enola Galen shrugs. "Never eaten a daisy in my life. The pollen always sticks

between your teeth...."

<OOC> Hugon says, "(Bend, not pend)"

<OOC> You say, "...you're on the Death Star>"

Octavius nodses slightly.

Hugon repeats the process to Enola and Naphati.

<OOC> Octavius says, "What happened when I was gone?"

Hugon alsoes whisper it to Zyka.

You say, "It does not appear that they are making an effort to overtake you.

It is almost as though they are spies."

Zyka whispers back. "I know," she says.

Hugon whispers to Zyka, "I have a plan. Follow me."

<OOC> You say, "Enola almost got arrested for talking back to a watchman..."

<OOC> Enola Galen says, "(Philistine)"

Zyka attempts to look casual as she obeys.

Octavius shiftses his staff to his right hand and puts his left on his sword

hilt.

Octavius followses Hugon.

Hugon looks at Octavius and shake his head. he whisper to him Enola, and

Naphati, "Follow my lead and don't appear ready to attack."

<OOC> Hugon says, "(To Octavius, not me...)"

Zyka is tapping her staff on the ground. The beat is faster than the 'bored'

one...

Octavius moveses his hand form his hilt to his thigh and starts to scratch.

Enola Galen lets her hand stray a bit closer to the hilt of her knife.

Hugon says, ""You booked our rooms at the Sign of the Fire Drake, right?" I

look at Zyka."

You say, "The four tag-alongs are still keeping their distance."

Octavius yawnses loudly.

<OOC> Zyka says, "did I?"

Hugon glares at Zyka.

Zyka starts humming under her breath.

<OOC> Zyka says, "I think i missed that part..."

Hugon winks slightly at Zyka.

Octavius whisperses into Zyka's ear, "Say yes"

Zyka says, "Of course! you know you can trust me to handle that..."

Eclipse rolled 6d10: 1, 4, 9, 2, 5, 9; totalling 30.

Eclipse rolled 6d10: 4, 1, 8, 10, 6, 1; totalling 30.

Zyka is being overly dramatic.

Eclipse rolled 6d10: 10, 2, 10, 3, 5, 8; totalling 38.

<OOC> Hugon doesn't like that roll...

Eclipse rolled 6d10: 4, 7, 8, 10, 7, 3; totalling 39.

<OOC> Octavius whinces.

<OOC> You say, "Interesting..."

Hugon says, ""Good. I'll show you all the war monument and we'll be off.""

<OOC> Zyka says, "brb"

<OOC> Octavius says, "its times like this I miss Leon's(my werewilf character)

gifts."

Enola Galen says, "Which war is it about?""

<OOC> You say, "A storm is coming. If I disconnect suddenly, it means the

power has gone..."

Hugon pages, "Do I know that?"

<OOC> Hugon wards away the evil storm.

Octavius lookses iterested at what Hugon will say.

Hugon pages, "(which war, that is)"

Hugon has received your page: "You do. It is a memorial to the attempted

conquest of the Black Peaks. Thousands died in the war against the kobolds

there, since the little buggers knew the terrain far better."

Octavius sits up on the lumpy sofa.

Hugon continues leading them to the monument. "It's a memorial to those who

died in the attempted conquest of the Black Peaks."

<OOC> Zyka says, "back, but I need to go for dinner soon. It's Daddy's

birthday."

Enola Galen says, "Let me guess who was doing the attempting, right?""

Zyka does her best to look interested.

Hugon pages, "Was I alive during this war?"

Hugon has received your page: "No. It was during a time like the Pax Romana

centuries ago, when (so it is said) the Golgothans were in their Golden Age."

Hugon says, "Most nations participate in war in some form or other. This

happened centuries ago, in fact."

Octavius letses out an exagerated yawn whiles his eyes scan the area with him

moving his head.

Octavius nodses at Hugons comment.

You say, "The four thugs pretend to be reading the names on the monument."

Enola Galen ( What does the monument look like? )

Octavius lokses that the thugs out of the corner of his eye.

<OOC> Hugon says, "How many other people are around?"

<OOC> Zyka says, "What do the thugs look like"

Enola Galen ( whispers) "Just say when..." )

You say, "The monument is a marble wall in the sillouhette of a mountain

range. It has the names of the officers who died in the war."

<OOC> Octavius says, "Too bad the veggie elf isn't here."

<OOC> You say, "Not many. There is a soldier standing guard over the

monument, though."

<OOC> Zyka can just see him tearing up at the thought of all that death...

<OOC> You say, "He is eyeing the cabal suspiciously."

Hugon whispers, "Stay here."

Hugon walks toward the guard.

Octavius nods very slightly.

Zyka watches Hugon. She looks confused.

<OOC> Zyka says, "that's acting."

Hugon pages, "I whisper to the guard that I believe my friends and I are being

followed by the thugs."

You say, "He recites, 'Please do not deface the monument. And try to keep the

daisy-eaters and those self-righteous myshari from touching it. Who knows

what they have on their hands."

Octavius whispers to Zyka, Keep looking at the monement and look like your

enjoying it.

Enola Galen says, "I get the feeling they don't like elves much round here...""

Octavius smirkses at the guards comment.

Zyka looks back towards the monument.

Hugon has received your page: "The fate of foreigners is not my business, sir.

Just make sure they don't bleed too close to the monument. It is a monument

to war, not a battlefield."

<OOC> Octavius says, "What race is the Guard?"

<OOC> You say, "Wint, of course."

<OOC> Octavius says, "Thats what I thought."

Hugon pages, "However, they are also a threat to me, I believe, and I am a

citizen of Golgotha."

Octavius whisperses to Enola with a hint of laughter in his voice, "Or

Myshari."

Hugon has received your page: "Then you should pick better company. They are

clearly not interested in you. I think it is the fat purse of the

daisy-eater and the melodramaticist they're interested in."

Hugon nods and thank the guard for his time and return to the others.

<OOC> Hugon says, "(his...)"

Zyka whispers casually, "may be that they do not like ANYONE..."

<OOC> You say, "Get some idea what you're dealing with, here?"

Octavius putses his horse mane.

<OOC> Hugon says, "Oh yeah..."

<OOC> Octavius says, "A facsist state?"

Octavius whisperses to Hugon, "Learn anything?"

<OOC> Octavius says, "Oh yay these guys are Nazis."

Hugon says, "Let's be off now. Lots to do."

<OOC> Octavius says, "Ein Volk, Ein Fuerer ect."

wints. They are wearing capes that hang to their knees, certainly low enough

to conceal most weapons..."

<OOC> You say, "You've got it..."

<OOC> Hugon says, "WHY am I wishing I had brought armor..."

Octavius says, "Yes. (Follows Hugon leading his horse.)"

Enola Galen looks over the names, keeping an eye on the reactions of her

companions.

<OOC> Zyka says, "armour is for wimps!"

<OOC> Hugon says, "Maybe, but wints w/weapons = much pain..."

<OOC> Octavius says, "Just because I have a Stm of 2 doesn't mean I am a wimp."

<OOC> You say, "Superhuman Strength Merit by default..."

Zyka follows along, humming tunelessly and tapping her staff in an upbeat

Octavius says, "I agree."

Octavius says, "Sir, can you direct us to a place we can wash?"

<OOC> Zyka says, "are the thugs still following?"

<OOC> Octavius says, "Everyone is a critic :)."

Hugon pages, "Can I use Sense Connection to see if somoone is using Corr. near

Enola Galen says, "Come, Octavius. Maybe we should find somewhere more

accomodating. Or wait out here till it starts a rainstorm.""

You say, "He huffs at you. 'I'm saying the Fire Drake doesn't have baths for

stinking foreigners to pollute. Take your business elsewhere, or I shall

have Biff take you elsewhere.'"

<OOC> Zyka says, "why?"

Hugon says, "Come on, let's go."

Hugon pages, "How far to the Black Peaks?"

Zyka glares at the innkeeper.

Octavius shrugs his shoulders.

Hugon has received your page: "About 3 or 4 days."

Hugon pages, "Doh..."

Octavius follow Hugon leading his horse.

Hugon whispers to the others that he doesn't think that they're going to have

much luck finding anywhere to stay tonight.

Zyka follows the others.

Hugon looks around outside.

Octavius whispers back for them to find some woods and a stream to wash in..

Hugon starts leading them to the High Point.

Octavius whispers, "One thing I really dislike are xenocentic peoples."

You say, "There is a large stream that passes through the town, but the

washerwomen might take a dim view of your bathing where they're trying to do

laundry."

Zyka shrugs. "Let people believe what they want."

You say, "The innkeeper slams the door in your faces."

Enola Galen says, "Not like I'm not used to it...""

Octavius says, "Lets head up stream."

Eclipse rolled 3d10: 10, 3, 9; totalling 22.

Zyka says, "Downstream."

<OOC> Octavius says, "I don't like the looks of that."

You say, "Alright. Which is it, now?"

Zyka says, "You'll still sully the water if you wash upstream."

Enola Galen says, "Perhaps we could clean him ourselves? USing your magic, I

mean.""

Octavius says, "True, but it is far likly to be cleaner. People in cities oft

dump things in streams."

Enola Galen says, "I could come up with a compound that would do the job, but

I don't have the chemicals on me....""

Hugon pages, "Okay, I'm sending off my Familiar to Narayn to ask for some

help, describing that I'm traveling with a cabal and we're having problems

Hugon has received your page: "He's a Mystic, too. I'll make it up as I go

You say, "You reach an area near the mouth of the stream, under a bridge where

no one is likely to see you bathing and call the watch."

Octavius he follow, but is still trying to discreetly watch the thugs.

Enola Galen says, "Speaking of bad smells, how long are they going to tail

us?""

Enola Galen ( whispered )

Zyka sushes Enola

Hugon whispers to Zyka, "I should have done this on the ship. My mentor lives

in the Black Peaks. He could have met us."

You say, "You are certain the stream is moving. It's a liquid - by it's

nature it should be moving. Maybe there is more water under that layer of

trash and waste floating (?) on the stream..."

Octavius says, "Someone please take my horses reins."

Zyka does so

<OOC> Hugon says, "Okay, wasn't sure."

Hugon says, "I've noticed this. Why are foreigners so frowned upon now? We

can't even get into an inn."

You say, "He shakes his head. 'No, I hadn't. Very little news passess

through customs, anymore. I've got the Emperor's thugs breathing down my

neck because I've been warding against their spy magicks.'"

Hugon says, "We've got a few thugs tailing us as well, I believe. They've

been following us since we arrived, but I haven't detected any magic being

used."

You say, "'The Emperor is trying to rid Golgotha of all non-wints, Hugon. He

employs methods ranging from propaganda and Mind magicks to murder and

wrongful arrests. These are dark times we live in."

<OOC> Octavius says, "back."

Hugon says, "Are you planning on any sort of rebellion against this?"

You say, "'They are probably after your foreign friends. There is no legal

protection for foreigners, anymore. One of the Emperor's new purity

policies".'"

war abroad?"

<OOC> Hugon says, "Laters"

<OOC> Zyka looks at ST

<OOC> Octavius says, "Good bye, Wish your father happy birth day for us."

You say, "He blanches. 'No. It is too late for that. The Emperor has many

mages in his employ, and they keep their eyes on any potential troublemakers.

Their leader, Variel, is a very dangerous mage.' His voice drops to a

whisper. 'They say he is in league with Hemlock, though the Emperor will

have anyone who says so executed.'"

<OOC> You say, "Later, Zyka."

<OOC> Enola Galen says, "Bye"

<OOC> Zyka says, "XP and such?"

<OOC> Hugon says, "I take it I know a bit about Hemlock if he's mentioning

him?"

against one of the Empire's neighbors.'"

Zyka has lost her link.

Hugon says, "A neighbor? Do you think that there may be a connection between

the princess' disappearance and the new policy changes?"

<OOC> Octavius says, "Ah good, something Octavous might know at the retelling."

You say, "'That does not sound like the Emperor's style. He tends to be far

less...subtle.'"

Hugon says, "I wish there was something that we can do about what's happening."

Hugon sighs.

You say, "Variel, though, is a man of many mysteries. His race is not native

to any of the lands between the Sun and Midnight Realms. I have never seen

one like him before...'"

Hugon says, "Do you know what race it is that he calls himself?"

<OOC> Octavius says, "test."

You say, "'I have never had the nerve to ask. He looks much like a myshar,

but can lie as well as any tanak.'"

The resolution of Zyka fades. With a hiss of static her disconnected body

implodes into a single point of light, then blinks out of existence.

<OOC> You say, "Or at least as well as any tanak not in the Traveling Orgy..."

<OOC> Octavius says, "Smiles."

Hugon nods. "Great combination." he look around a little bit. "How long until

you think he'll send people here?"

<OOC> D says, "Hey, I do good. AlMarth is the one who has trouble.."

You say, "'I do not know. Golgotha has two neighbors - Alamor and Anamap.

Both would be valuable aquisitions to the Empire. The Golgothans remember

the Kobold Wars, though. I doubt they will come to the Black Peaks for years

to come."

Hugon nods. "I wish that there was something that I could do, though, from

what it sounds like, you feel you will be safe here for some time."

You say, "He shrugs. 'I am safe unless Variel takes a personal interest in my

activities. So far, however, I have managed to maintain a low profile. I

feel much safer in the Black Peaks. At least Alamor is only a short jump

across the mountains...'"

Hugon nods. "Is there any way you could aid my cabal and me without arousing

suspicion?"

<OOC> You say, "Introducing new Glass Plot Hooks. They are completely

invisible until *snik* you're caught!"

Hugon says, "What we really need is a way for the others to appear as Wints."

<OOC> Hugon says, "Ohhh, feel how soft!"

<OOC> Enola Galen says, ""So much better than those cumbersome iron ones.""

<OOC> Enola Galen says, ""Coming soon. Plot wagons with cloaking devices.""

<OOC> Hugon says, "And more appealing than those ugly plastic things."

<OOC> Octavius says, "Only $9.99 at your local s-mart. Shop smart, shop

s-mart."

<OOC> Hugon says, "Why do I feel like a plot device? First I give Eric the

idea for the Grue, now a plot hook...@#;+)"

<OOC> Hugon is the never-ending plot feeder.

<OOC> Octavius says, "Don't worry it will be Octavius"

<OOC> Octavius says, "Octavius's turn soon."

You say, "He chews his lip thoughtfully. 'I recommend you leave Landsend as

quickly as possible. I can aid you only a little, and magic is out of the

question. The Emperor has ways to identify the mage who created an Effect."

Hugon says, "How can you aid us?"

<OOC> Octavius will shall forever be know as the unidenified one.

<OOC> D says, "Being a plot device isn't so bad.. just look at me... I let

Eric turn my entire character into a walking plot device, and now I have a

cadre of slaves to torture."

<OOC> Octavius winks

<OOC> Enola Galen says, ""How the hell did that happen?""

<OOC> Hugon says, "<Test>"

You say, "He closes his eyes and chants softly. He twists his hand, and a

small wand appears in it. 'This is one of the Emperor's new Resonance

Detectors. It's previous owner fell from a great height while snooping about

my residence.' He smiles. 'It only works for Artificers, but it will allow

the user to determine the direction and approximate distance between hemself

and the person of which you have a very personal device, such as a lock of

hair or fingernail."

<OOC> D says, "Uh oh.."

<OOC> Hugon says, "WHOO!"

<OOC> Enola Galen says, ""Mmmm....forbidden technology....""

<OOC> D says, "Please tell me our games are seperate and that our pursuers

don't have access to that kind of thing?"

Hugon nodses and pulls out the hairbrush. "I remembered a bit from my

University training, I'm proud to say."

Hugon puts the brush back in a pocket.

You say, "'Unfortunately, the Emperor will eventually notice the missing

Detector and send his mages to recover it, so I would pursue your quest

quickly and rid yourself of the device as soon as you no longer need it."

<OOC> Octavius says, "Iphegina's haribrush congrats Eus."

<OOC> Octavius says, "When a St gets a bad roll it is ominous. "

Hugon nods. "Thank you. Is if safe for me to teleport back to my cabal here,

or should I find an alternate route?"

<OOC> Octavius says, "test again"

You say, "'If the Empire is interested in you, they already know where you

are, now. The trick is to stay out of trouble. The Empire has many eyes,

but many more people to watch than it has eyes.'"

Hugon nods.

Hugon says, "I shall leave you now then, and I am most grateful. If you hear

anything, send word with the Owl Spirit who is my familiar."

You say, "He chants, and you appear back by the stream in Landsend."

Hugon looks around.

You say, "'I will, Hugon.'"

You say, "The thugs are closing in on you, coming from both sides of the

bridge."

<OOC> Hugon says, "Others nearby?"

<OOC> Hugon says, "The cabal, that is"

You say, "There are four of them. No one else appears to be around. Hugon,

everyone is still here."

Enola Galen says, "Welcome back.""

Hugon says, "Looks like I came back just in time."

Octavius starts to curse as be put his staff on his horse and grabs his

dhelid, just in case.

live, continue and die."

You say, "He laughs. 'Oooo! A daisy-eater! I think we should make a run for

it, boys. She might force us to wear flowers in our hair!'"

You say, "'Ahh, a melodramatist in action! Put up your stage blade, son. You

will find we are made of far more durable metal.'"

You say, "'What kind of wint keeps company with this kind of scum? Is this

your harem?'"

Octavius says, "If you contiue I promise you a quick death. (Readies his sword

and sheild)"

Hugon says, "I've been traveling extensively, trying to learn more about this

world. I suggest you leave the ladies alone."

You say, "'Spare us the melodrama, myshar. You will find us a poor audience.'

They begin to move forward."

Octavius whisperses a prayer for the soul of the fallen.

Naphtali turns back to the blind guy. "Do you surrender, our must Epaga

<OOC> Naphtali doesn't know any leathal or non-leathal. I have no dots in

With one more nervous look at Naphtali, he flees."

<OOC> Naphtali chuckles.

<OOC> Octavius says, "Is the downed one still alive?"

<OOC> You say, "Barely, and not for very much longer. He needs magical

Octavius grimaces at the suffering he cause and give the wint a quick death as

he promised.

Octavius Turns to old one eye, "Surrender now and I shall spare you"

You say, "Octavius cuts the rest of the way through the thug's neck. The man

twitches slightly in pain, and then goes completely still. His blood

trickles into the stream, darkening the waters even more."

You say, "The one-eyed thug drops his sword and holds his hands out in a

gesture of surrender. His eyes are filled with terror. 'Are you with THEM?'"

Hugon says, "With who?"

Naphtali picks up the weapon dropped from the once-blinded guy.

Hugon grabses the sword dropped by the one-eyed thug. "Just for safekeeping,

you understand."

You say, "'The Favor-Givers, the Hands of Variel?'"

Hugon says, "Why do you ask?"

Naphtali heads over to the women to make sure they're alright.

Octavius looks confuesed "Who is Variel?"

You say, "He begins to weep. 'Do not kill me, my lord! I serve loyally.

Your pardon, sir! If I had known you were Ba'lak, we would not have attacked

you. I have two children, my lord. Please don't orphan them.'"

<OOC> D says, "Lets hear it for the Favor-Givers! Go us!"

<OOC> You say, "The worst-kept secret society in Malakai..."

Naphtali says not-so-softly as he tends the women, "There will be no more

killing tonight, if I can help it."

<OOC> You say, "Hugon, do you remember that name?"

<OOC> Hugon says, "I'd say so (Variel, I take it>"

<OOC> You say, "yes"

Hugon says, "We have just arrived and will not harm your family. It is he who

ordered that all non-wints be killed, if I remember correctly."

Octavius says, "Consider yourself spared then. Now flee, and tell no one of

us."

Hugon says, "No, wait here. "

Hugon lookses at Octavius. "I'd rather speak with this man."

Octavius lookses at Hugon and nods, "You are the boss."

Naphtali continues in that sort-of-quiet tone. "It would be wise to question

him...."

<OOC> Hugon says, "I am? Cool..."

Octavius wipes his sword one the dead one shirt and sheaths it.

You say, "'That was by order of the Emperor (may he rule forever). Variel is

<OOC> D says, "Secret police my ass. We're homicidal killers dedicated to

ressurecting the good old days.."

Octavius says, "Boss, does this man know to much now?"

<OOC> You say, "Yeah, but you can't make a good enough living doing that, so

being the secret police is your day job..."

<OOC> D says, "I suppose so. So I get to hang out around the market place and

glare at little old ladies?"

You say, "He falls on his knees. 'I know nothing, sir! I have learned

nothing! I have no desire to learn anything!'"

Hugon says, "Perhaps, but I would hate to kill him. I've never been much for

killing. What I'd like to know is why he was here."

Octavius says, "Tell us what you know and let the boss deside."

Naphtali sighs, walks over to the dead guy. "If we must do something to

prevent him from talking, I might be convinced to make him mute, but we shall

not kill him."

You say, "'I mistook you for foreigners, sir. The Emperor (may he rule

forever) has withdrawn the rights of all non-wints. We are only trying to

earn our daily bread, my lords.'"

Hugon says, "There will be no more killing today. Enough has been done

already."

Naphtali turns and looks concerned at this last statement, but remains silent.

<OOC> Naphtali says, "The one form the Wint, not Hugon."

Hugon turnses to Naphatali. "Do you think we can trust this one to stay silent

about what has happened and to convince his friends who ran?"

<OOC> Hugon says, "Obviously he didn't notice me pop out of thin air..."

Naphtali takes a deep breath and studies the Wint carefully. "What does he

have to say for himself?"

Octavius turnses to his companions and nods that he'll go long with what

they'll do.

You say, "'Good sirs, I will keep my peace. I can try to find my companions,

but I fear they might have already raised an alarm. If you are Ba'lak,

however, your papers should clear up any misunderstandings, though. You have

nothing to fear from us.'"

Hugon says, "We need to keep our presence here a secret. There are traitors

in the area we are hunting. Go and put a stop to this alarm, but first,

please remove a few locks of hair and place them on the ground in front of

you."

D pages, "Do I have nifty secret police papers?"

<OOC> You say, "His friends are afraid of mages, but they didn't see Hugon

appear because he was hiding behind the rock, remember?"

<OOC> Hugon says, "Gotcha."

Naphtali takes a deep breath and turns to the others. He nods in agreement

with Hugon.

<OOC> Octavius says, "Behind the fully laden horse."

Hugon says, "Please give me your name as well."

<OOC> Naphtali says, "And the book-laden donkey."

You say, "He wails loudly as he cuts a lock of hair. He is obviously

terrified by the idea of giving such a device to the Ba'lak."

Hugon says, "Should we succeed, I assure you that our party will not harm you

or your family. If you work against us in any way, however, I'm afraid we'll

have to protect ourselves."

Naphtali nods slowly. "And quickly. Anyone know a good way to throw off

pursuit?"

Octavius thens mounts behind her.

Hugon says, "Well, if I was healed up, I could perform my correspondence magic

Naphtali sighs. "Do we have time, or should we just go?"

Hugon says, "Probably best to start moving."

Hugon says, "Away from town."

Octavius slows also by jump of his horse and leading her with Enola still

just use a chain and like Forces to set the hair on fire? I think I count

for the bonus to find a bit of my hair..."

<OOC> D says, "Chain?"

Naphtali nods slowly. "Which of you wants to go first?" He looks between

Hugon and Enola.(And anyone else hurt)

Octavius says, "That one man who your mentor described. He sounds like one of

my people."

You say, "The bond is severed. Zyka is still bleeding from the nose. (2 HL

Naphtali heals more.

Naphtali rolled 3d10: 6, 9, 4; totalling 19.

<OOC> Hugon raises the roof.

<OOC> D says, "Go Hugon, go Hugon, it's your birthday!"

Hugon falls to his knees, tired and sweating from the effort of the spells.

<OOC> Octavius says, "What does scourge do again?"

<OOC> D says, "It go boom!"

You say, "Despite your exhaustion, your victory over the Chain attack washes

over you. (+1 WP for all; +2 for Hugon)"

Octavius he drop down to the ground.

<OOC> Naphtali says, "Think Paradox, only kind of time-delayed."

<OOC> Hugon says, "YEAH!!!"

<OOC> You say, "Bad things..."

<OOC> Eclipse counts rolls to figure out how much time has passed...

<OOC> Octavius says, "Yippie back to 3 will."

<OOC> Hugon says, "Umm...a long time."

<OOC> Naphtali is full again on WP. Woo! (Maybe I don't use it enough...)

Hugon says, ""Well...that...makes one...barrier...""

<OOC> Octavius says, "I have 8 perment will. and I spent 7 total these three

sessions."

<OOC> Naphtali says, "How bad is Zyka?"

Octavius says, "Only once before I felt that much pain."

Octavius says, "I owe you two my life."

Naphtali takes a few deep breaths. "Don't mention it. Now help me with her."

Naphtali motions to Hugon. "He did all the real work."

<OOC> You say, "26 x 15 minutes equals 6 1/2 hours."

You say, "It is nearing dawn by the time your struggle against the Golgothan

mages ends."

<OOC> You say, "Zyka is hurt 2 HL."

<OOC> Naphtali says, "Woo! Victory with the dawn! Wait a minute... dang,

wrong tradition."

<Login> Hugon has reconnected from 1Cust182.tnt1.midland

.mi.da.uu.net on Sat Jun 23 00:42:44 2001 EST.

<OOC> You say, "That's what I ruled, since it was a ritual."

Naphtali goes back to praying over Zyka.

<OOC> Hugon says, "Can't complain about that kick. Held me online for over 6

hours."

<OOC> Naphtali nods. That's fine.

Hugon ises still on his knees, barely able to move, exausted from the ritual.

<OOC> You say, "You people DEFINITELY need a rest, now, though."

<OOC> Naphtali says, "Do we want to try to heal Zyka first?"

<OOC> Octavius says, "And I have to wake early tomarrow."

<OOC> Hugon should drive down to the con Al's heading to tomorrow.

<OOC> Naphtali says, "Or just give her 2 HL to start with next week?"

<OOC> You say, "Go ahead and heal her, Naph. It won't take much play time."

Naphtali prays silently, gripping his beads and sweating.

Naphtali rolled 3d10: 6, 1, 8; totalling 15.

Naphtali sits back, breathing heavily. "I... can't right now...."

<OOC> D says, "Well. You guys certainly have a different type of game from

what we have."

<OOC> Hugon says, "We're not Angst-Mongers though. @#;+)"

Octavius has received your page: "7 XP"

<OOC> Naphtali says, "Of course. We're the Good Guys."

Naphtali has received your page: "4 XP"

Octavius rolled 3d10: 10, 2, 3; totalling 15.

Hugon has received your page: "8 XP"

Hugon pages, "Many thanks"

Hugon has received your page: "You earned it"

Eclipse removes his dragon medallion.

You go out-of-character. Your actions should now be taken as your own and not

those of your character.

You say, "You finished two chapters tonight."

Naphtali grins. Woo! Now what did I miss?

Octavius pages, "Wow, thanks. I can hardly belive I erned that much"

<OOC> D says, "Go you guys. Btw, how many corruption points did I get last

game?"

<OOC> Hugon says, "Man. Severing the link between 5 mage's hair is hard work."

<OOC> You say, "Probably only 1, D. It takes time to become truly evil..."

<OOC> D says, "Only 2 so far.."

<OOC> D says, "I'll have to see if Ahab has some Fava beans and a nice

Chianti."

<OOC> You say, "You won't be wishing for it in a few weeks, D."

<OOC> Naphtali wonders, if you're telling people, what his total it at.

<OOC> Hugon says, "Wants to know if we have gotten Purity Points yet."

<OOC> D says, "I'm evil now. It'd be a bit hypocritical, playing an evil

character, yet not doing evil things so I won't be punished when I get good"

<OOC> Octavius says, "Ya did we?"

D pages, "So, can I join this game too?"

You say, "I really haven't been calculating it as carefully for this group,

since no one has acted evil. Now that there are Scourge Points in the cabal,

I'll have to calculate Purity."

Naphtali nods... Remember, I saved 2 peoples lives with no harm to them at

all. *grins all big and proud*

D has received your page: "The reason I split the groups in the first place is

because I prefer to run with a fairly small group. This cabal is far enough

along, now, that it would be difficult to incorporate a new character into

it. Sorry."

Naphtali pages, "I'm ont asking, but if my fiath were ever to rise, would I

have to blow XP on it? Just want to know if I should save some back for that

or not."

<OOC> Hugon says, "Hey, if we're talking about saving people, I pulled off

pretty nice feat tonight. *grins proud* Actually, I'm just glad we

survived."

D pages, "No problem-o. If you do ever come to a point where ya could..."

Naphtali has received your page: "Yes. Plus you'll have to really rack up the

Purity."

You say, "Everyone enjoy themselves tonight?"

<OOC> Octavius says, "I tryed to protect other, gave fair warning to those who

would do us hard, and kept a vow."

<OOC> Naphtali says, "You too? We're in a much better position than we were

in... Now we have to 1) find some papers and 2) convince Naph to lie about

it."

Naphtali pages, "Ok... Just so I know, what would be the amount to up it to 2?

Same as a normal Background?"

Hugon says, "Oh yes, very much so. I was worried for awhile that we'd just

wander around town aimlessly for the entire night though. @#;+)"

D has received your page: "I'll keep you in mind. I might have need for

someone to play an NPC."

Octavius says, "I had alot of fun. Way to go Eclipse"

<OOC> D mocks you all! "Havign to scrounge for purity points, you should be

ashamed! I earn my corruption."

Naphtali says, "Look, being good isn't as noticed as being evil."

D pages, "Kewlies"

Hugon says, "Very true. Naphtali scared off two thugs with the power of GOOD.

*g*"

Naphtali says, "In one round, mind you. *grins all proud*"

<OOC> Octavius says, "D is on of the few, the proud, the evil. (Put pinky to

the corner of his mouth.)"

Naphtali has received your page: "I'm afraid not. It cost 7 points to raise

it to 1. It will cost twice that to raise it to 2. Just like Spheres."

Octavius says, "I have to agree."

<OOC> D says, "I will split Malakai in half, unless I am paid... 1 meeeeeelion

dollars!"

(remotely) Naphtali nods. It never really says what to do to raise it, save

role-play someone who's really faithful. I think it's not supposed to be

something that's raised with player control at all.

Octavius says, "What is a dollor?"

<OOC> D says, "I know better Dr. Evil lines, however thats the only one that I

could get through "shaved male scrotum" line that kept yammering for

attention"

Naphtali says, "Out of curiosity, did anyone give any thought about how we're

planning to leave here?"

Naphtali has received your page: "All changes made to a character are subject

to ST judgement. I forced Hugon to find some work on Magrothea before I let

him raise his Resources to 1. "

<OOC> D says, "Now if only I had a truly evil cohort.. Koi is more like the

diet coke of evil"

Octavius says, "Good night guys. I have an early con tomarrow. No clue?"

Hugon says, "Well, I could just ditch the whole group...@#;+)"

You say, "Later, Al."

<OOC> Hugon says, "Night Oct."

<OOC> D says, "Night Oct"

(remotely) Naphtali nods and knows that, save that Faith is all weird period

and is a "only if you really really try for this" I'm just debating whether

I should try...

<OOC> D says, "Night all"

<Logout> D has disconnected on Sat Jun 23

D has disconnected.

Hugon says, "Octavius is a walking scourge bubble waiting to pop."

<Logout> Octavius has disconnected on Sat

Jun 23 00:59:31 2001 EST

Octavius has disconnected.

Naphtali says, "He only has 3 points...."

Hugon says, "True, not too bad."

Hugon says, "What I need to do is regain some of that Quint. Burned it all

up."

The resolution of D fades. With a hiss of static her disconnected body

implodes into a single point of light, then blinks out of existence.

You say, "It's only 3 points. You people probably earn a Purity Point

tonight, so that will reduce it to 2 when it finally backlashes."

The resolution of Octavius fades. With a hiss of static his disconnected body

implodes into a single point of light, then blinks out of existence.

Naphtali is down 2 points of Quint, too... Anyone know a good Node near here?

You say, "Oops. Sorry. It won't help until at least 6."

Hugon says, "Well, since this place is accepting of magic, maybe there are

more nodes around? Nicely advertised? @#;+) Where are the yellow pages?"

You say, "Riiiiiight... I told you about a Node earlier today. You ignored

it, remember? (High Point = Node with good Resonance)"

<OOC> Hugon says, "It is? Doh..."

Naphtali says, "Hmmm.... 8 points of xp..... I hate this... It's like money

when I'm in town in D&D... I just *have* to spend it... And I can't convince

myself to wait... But I will wait for now...."

Hugon says, "Oh, Naph, I was trying to get Race to work, but it always puts it

in Faction."

Naphtali says, "Ok. I'll check with N on that...."

Hugon says, "I've got 12 in the bank, just waiting."
