15:16:45 2001 EST.

Zyka has arrived.

Zyka sits on the comfortable couch

You say, "Good afternoon."

Zyka says, "Hello."

Zyka says, "could you tell me a little more about what I missed?"

You say, "I could send you the complete log. I have it."

Zyka thanks Eclipse profusely.

You say, "Away it goes.""

Zyka says, "Thanks. So, what's doing?"

You say, "What's doing? Do you mean what am I doing or what is the log doing?"

Zyka says, "Sorry, I guess that *is* confusing... 'what's doing' is kinda like

'what's up'"

Zyka says, "I've been using that for so long that I forgot it's an inside

thing..."

You say, "Just making myself some lunch to absorb all that Mountain Dew I'm

going to be drinking in the next few hours."

Zyka laughs.

You say, "Well, now I know what it means, too."

Zyka says, "Well, the canadian version of Mountain Dew actually doesn't have

that much caffene<sp?> in it."

You say, "After 4 liters in two days, my body is not too happy with me. I'll

feel like I've run a two-day marathon. It's better than alcohol, though. At

least I'll remember everything that happens tonight when I wake up tomorrow."

Zyka winces. "Why do you do that, then?"

You say, "That's just plain WRONG. Mountain Dew has tons of caffeine, not as

much as coffee or pure caffeine sodas (like Jolt), but more than most

mainstream softdrinks."

Zyka shrugs. "I think it has too much sugar."

You say, "I do it because it's once a week, I've got to be able to out-think

five or six people who are also hopped up on caffeine and sugar, and I need

to have something to keep my hands and mouth occupied while everyone else is

talking."

You say, "Besides, I genuinely enjoy the taste. It is the quantity that is a

bit overwhelming. That's all."

Zyka says, "I don't actually game with sugar. Or caffeine. Yesterday, I had a

3 Musketeers bar. I could actually FEEL the sugar in my bloodstream. It

tickled."

Zyka says, "I don't have many sweets."

Zyka wonders if she killed Eclipse with that last comment...

You say, "My sugar/caffeine tolerance and my body mass are probably quite a

bit higher than yours. I've known people who seemed caffeinated after 6

ounces of Sprite (which has no caffeine), but it's never had that kind of an

effect on me. I don't drink much caffeine during the rest of the week -

maybe a can of Mountain Dew or a cup of coffee in the afternoon each day.

Most of my reaction to caffeine is psychological. The physical reactions

(increased heart rate) don't really influence my mood. I have just learned

to associate coffee and Mountain Dew with creative energy, I guess. I don't

need them, but having them makes it easier for me to enter the altered state

of consciousness I experience when my creative energy is at its peak. I use

music in the same way. I don't need music to write or GM (in fact, I

sometimes have to turn the volume all the way down so I can concentrate on

something for a little while), but it helps me find the mood to be creative."

<Login> D has connected from ppp-155.icehouse.net on Sat Jun 16 15:38:05 2001

EST.

Zyka says, "I find that I can get very creative when I'm confusing someone."

D has received your page: "Good afternoon."

Zyka says, "Example: last night I was talking with one of my friends on the

phone. During a (much hated) lull in the conversation, I decided to say

something."

D pages, "Howdy"

Zyka says, "That something was 'I love you, too.'"

D pages, "Wassup?"

You say, "Caffeine is purely a psychological motivator, like putting on my

dragon medallion when I want to feel like a GM. I've convinced people that I

was caffeinated simply because they got me started on a favorite subject or

was in an odd mood that day. I have a lot of creative energy, to begin with.

Yeah, I tend to want to fill empty silences, too. I've annoyed people

occasionally with that habit, though, so I've learned to be a bit more

careful."

D has received your page: "Just eating lunch and chatting with Megathan."

Zyka continues rambling. "There was complete silence, until she said 'what?' I

repeated myself. 'But I never said I love you!' 'Yes, but you were thinking

it.' 'No I wasn't!' 'Then you were trying to think it.' 'No I wasn't!' 'Oh

come on, who would know better, you or me?' 'I would know what I'm thinking!'

'Yes, but I would know what you're trying to think.'

D has arrived.

Zyka says, "That was fun."

D sits down on the comfortable couch.

D says, "Hey d hey folks"

Zyka says, "Yo."

Zyka says, "brb"

D says, "Not interrupting something, am I?"

You say, "Hmmm... That actually sounds frighteningly familiar. I do that

sort of thing all the time, especially to co-workers. I'll act all hurt and

offended, pretending to misunderstand something they said."

Eclipse shakes his head.

You say, "Just killing time."

D says, "You creeped out by the Phoboros desc in the Bygone Beastiary?"

D has noticed a trend in WoD books to discuss interesting details.

You say, "Um, not as much as I was freaked out by Ghuls and large dragons."

Zyka says, "Dija miss me?"

D says, "No, I meant the entire "White Bull seducing maidens" thing"

D says, "No, not really"

You say, "Um, sure. <grin>"

Zyka lifts eyebrow.

Zyka thinks she missed something...

D says, "Thinking of playing a magical girl type for the BESM then?"

You say, "I didn't find it anymore bizarre that copulated with dead women."

Zyka grins. "I can't think of a better type to inflict my hyper mayhem on you

all..."

D says, "Ummm...."

You say, "I mean 'than copulating'"

Zyka isn't goning to ask...

D says, "Joes playing a werewolf sorceress, I'm playing a Deep One psychic

masquerading as a highschool girl. We're plotting to devour the entire

cheerleading squad.."

You say, "I was typing with one hand and eating a sandwich with the other. I

was talking about Ghuls."

D says, "You really think your character is going to cause... mayhem?"

D says, "Oh, and I have 10 slimy tentacles in my natural form"

Zyka says, "Too... much... cute..."

Zyka laughs.

You say, "Not really. He's a tentacled porn monster, essentially. That BESM

game is going to get out of the GM's hands, I fear..."

D says, "A hermaphoditic tentacle porn monster."

D says, "Gotta love Metamorphosis.."

Zyka says, "Well, the background idea that I had was that she was a Sailor

Moon type... who got captured by the villan. The villan was..."

Eclipse laughs. "I stand corrected?"

D says, "Mmm... trisexual tentacle porn monster..."

D says, "Who?"

Zyka says, "...an AI on a quantum computer. He sent her into the game's

univers through holes in spacetime, a la Timeline."

D says, "Hey now, we're real people. You ain't gonna turn us into computer

programs."

Zyka says, "the truly interesting thing is that there may be another version

of her (with out the superpowers) running around... and that she doesn't know

that she got sent to a different universe."

D says, "Ic"

Zyka grins. "I was having fun with this concept... And no one would be turned

into computer programs.

You can't go that way (here).

D says, "I wonder if David would let my character, currently posing as a 14 yr

old girl, have bondage gear.."

Zyka says, "I've been reading too much quantum scifi."

Zyka says, "Well, my char would be a 14 year old girl."

D says, "And I've been looking at to much tentacle/anthropomorphic smut

drawings."

You say, "Go here and listen to "Do Virgins Taste Better" and "The Dragon's

Retort" They are both hillarious. http://artists.mp3s.com/artists/113/brobdin

gnagian_bards.html"

D says, "Wonder if I could talk Eus into letting me have an awakened or

sorcerous dragon when next I make a character... I've even got a good

backstory!"

D says, "A shapeshifting one."

D says, "Then I could answer that question.."

Zyka says, "WOO! Yay, unlikely yet strangely appealing backstory!"

Eclipse shudders. "I'm glad you opted for the low-power character in MY

Chronicle..."

D says, "Hey now, it'd be a newly hatched dragon. And consider, he/she would

have to stay in human form most of the time."

D says, "And we're with frikken werewolves. This character would probably be

equal to them. Not like my current one, whos only a sorcerer"

Zyka grins. "have fun roleplaying...

D says, "Oh yeah, I will..."

D imagines the baby dragon following Hannah(cranky redhead) around "Momma!

Momma!"

Zyka smirks.

You say, "Just hope they don't take the traditional meaning of the word 'Wyrm'

out on you, or you're in BIG trouble."

D says, "Oh yeah.. Hmm... This groups mellow, specially for werewolf players.

I think they'd at LEAST use sense wyrm before trying to off me"

You say, "So, do you think you guys will manage to get through another chapter

and a half tonight?"

D says, "Yeah"

Zyka says, "good luck."

D says, "I've even got a good plan on how to get Iphwhatever to follow along"

Zyka says, "Just say 'the princess'"

You say, "The Friday party has been running exactly a chapter per week."

Zyka says, "it's easier to manage."

D can't wait

You say, "Or learn that her name is Iphigenia. I pulled it right out of Greek

mythology. Just grab a copy of the Orestean Trilogy, and find her name in

the tragedy "Agamemnon"."

D says, "Gonna turn up the angst on Beth"

Zyka says, "Gonna attempt to impregnate anyone tonight?"

Zyka senses a theme...

Eclipse chortles.

D says, "I can't impregnate anyone without a cock."

D says, "Or life magic."

Eclipse bats his eyes innocently. "And what theme would that be?"

Zyka says, "Well, going by those quotes that Ty posted..."

D says, "But don't worry.. I'll get life magic soon enough.. Or I could make

Almarth do my dirty work."

Zyka laughs.

D says, "Honestly enough.. judging from what Eric's said, I think I've already

impregnated someone.."

You say, "FOR PETE'S SAKE, PEOPLE! SEX HAS ONLY HAPPENED TWICE IN THIS GAME,

AND ONE OF THOSE WAS JUST TWO NPCS!!! There, got it out of my system for a

little while..."

D says, "And it's probably going to happen again!"

Eclipse groans and shakes his head.

Zyka says, "I was talking about that and the non-online one... with the

god/ess theme?"

D says, "Oh yeah, that. Sigh. To bad that had to end."

!!! 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.

D says, "We killed the overgod. Then we realized that with him dead, there

would have to be a new one to take his place."

D says, "It started with the phrase "There can be only one" and got real

bloody"

You say, "I was actually quite fond of Al'Marth's efforts to get his hands on

those limes. 'I have scurvy.' 'No you don't!'"

D says, "I won =)"

Zyka says, "The quotes were hilarious... and between that and the M:EF quotes,

I deduced that Ty's chars have lots of RPG children..."

D says, "That was pretty kewl too.."

D says, "Not usually. My characters tend to end up A) sexually deviant B)

insane or C) all of the above through no fault of my own"

Zyka says, "Well, that too."

D says, "Jack and D are the only ones that started nuts. Wolfgang started just

a little bit off in the head, and his devolped into a full fledged psychotic"

D says, "And then there was the psychic illithid, but I really don't want to

go into what happened to his sanity.."

You say, "Well, it DID shut Al'Marth up for the rest of the night."

D says, "Yupyup."

Zyka grins. "Fun. I tend to have real roleplayer type chars and a very loonie

GMing style.

D is a looney with a twist of powergamer trying his tentacle at real

roleplaying

Zyka says, "Well, in my M:tA chronicle, popcorn deals 1 base damage..."

Zyka says, "Carmel corn is lethal."

Zyka grins

D says, "Hehehehe"

D says, "Your favorite entree is barbecued wench..."

D snickers

Zyka says, "What?!"

You say, "I am a real roleplayer whether I'm GMing or playing. I go loony

when it's a one-nighter, though, or when I'm running the Chaos Zone. I try

hard to pattern my GMing after the players' styles, but I get frustrated with

hack-and-slashers eventually, and abuse munchkins harshly even if I'm only

playing."

Eclipse grins. "The link I posted."

Zyka says, "Ah."

Zyka says, "Je comprends."

D says, "Now that song.. is just.. LoL!"

You say, "I have the evening planned in some detail, just as long as you don't

get through three chapters tonight. Each chapter is about one page of

notebook paper, which is enough for the important info, but not enough for

silly details like Captain Ahab, lunchbreaks, and Grues..."

Zyka says, "I'll have to get an MP3 player... when we get a new computer."

You say, "Listen to 'The Dragon's Retort'."

Zyka says, "stupid computer."

D says, "dl'ing now"

You say, "You can get Music Match Jukebox for free, I think. Winamp is the

best, though, IMHO."

Zyka says, "i'll remember that."

You say, "I just realized that Iph has a Purity of 8. Scary."

Zyka says, "AAAAaaah. That IS scary."

D says, "Good. This'll make my plan more likely to suceede"

You say, "By the way, D, you earned 1 Corruption Point last week."

D says, "Only 1?!"

Zyka raises eyebrow. "Doing what?"

D says, "Well. I'll work harder today."

Zyka laughs.

D says, "What particular action? Or just in general?"

D says, "For being a bitch?"

Zyka says, "OOOOOH! Tell me stories."

You say, "Hmm, where to begin... Tormenting Beth's character all night was

the big one. You really weren't all that evil, in the end. Being a bitch

doesn't earn you Corruption Points."

D says, "Fine. Tonight I'll definately get one, maybe two or three."

Zyka says, "Why not?"

D says, "First, more tormenting Beth, then abducting children, then kidnapping

Iphwhatever, then murder and extortion."

D says, "How much'll that get me?"

D says, "And maybe a little light cannabalism'"

Zyka laughs. "These Daily Victim things are GREAT!"

D agrees totally

You say, "Careful. When you Awaken, all that Corruption will equal backlashes

everytime your first Arete die comes up a 1. Even before, good spirits might

start hunting your ass down."

Zyka says, "DEFINATELY gonna have to see that..."

D doesn't hold punches "I'm evil for now. So I'm going ALL out."

Eclipse is evil, too. "And I obviously don't pull my punches. It wouldn't be

realistic for the Epagans to have a security system, but there are a lot of

other things I can do to make your life hell..."

Zyka says, "Why just stop at hell?"

D says, "Of course. As long as you're doing it just to be a bastard, I

understand perfectly. And besides, I won't always be evil.. Redemption will

occur someday, I presume you have that scheduled?"

D says, "Errr not doing it just to be a bastard"

Zyka laughs.

You say, "As much as a GM can schedule ANYTHING in a game. There is a

posssibility that you will have to go hundreds of miles out of your way if

you're not really careful tonight..."

Zyka says, "Fun for the whole cabal!"

D says, "We'll see what happens.."

You say, "Neither of which have names, yet!"

Zyka says, "Hmmm... 'Good Guys' and 'Bad Guys'?"

D says, "The Travelling Orgy?"

Zyka says, "All we need is a good acronym... L.O.S.E.R.S.?"

D says, "You should've given us a codename."

Zyka says, "I'll come up with something catchy for that to stand for later."

Eclipse is scared.

Zyka says, "Why?"

Zyka says, "Were just scary players in Loonie mode..."

D says, "The TTP Project. Hows that for our cabal name?"

Zyka says, "what's that stand for?"

D says, "The TTP Project."

Zyka says, "Oh."

Zyka says, "What?!"

D says, "Huh?"

Zyka says, "Nevermind."

Zyka says, "My, aren't we coherent?"

D says, "Coherency? We don NEED no STINKIN co-her-en-cy!"

Zyka says, "But currency is nice."

Zyka loves that resources 2

You say, "Klaatu, barada nikto."

Zyka says, "What?!"

D says, "Klaatu! Barada! Necktie!"

Zyka looks hopelessly lost.

D says, "You haven't seen Army of Darkness?!?!?!?!"

D says, "HOW CAN YOU CALL YOUSELF A GAMER, AND NOT HAVE SEEN IT?!"

Zyka says, "i'm a poor, deprived child."

D says, "You must see Evil Dead, Evil Dead 2, and Army of Darkness."

Zyka salutes. "Yessir.

Zyka says, "I blame my parents."

Zyka says, "I am a product of my environment."

D says, "Heh. Poor girl."

D comforts megathan.

Zyka says, "But, they DID show me the original Star Wars when I was 3."

D says, "Well. Thats something, then."

D lies back on the comfortable couch.

You say, "Read Sartre, too, while you're at it. You are responsible for your

own actions."

Zyka says, "We still have the movies. NON SPECIAL EDITION!!! WOOOO!"

D says, "No I'm not. It's that fucking Lephrechaun. If he'd leave me the hell

alone and stop poking me with that damn stick, then maybe I could take

responsibility for my actions."

D says, "Go away! I have no beer for yoU!"

Zyka says, "...OR I would be, if I had transportation to the local

blockbusters and friends who wanted to watch something other than Cruel

Intentions."

D says, "Oh god, his angry and his poking me in the ass with the stick!"

Zyka says, "Damn movie."

Eclipse shudders. "It is so hard to find people with good tastes in movies."

Zyka says, "Especially in Jr High School."

Zyka says, "I had to threaten in order to get Run, Lola, Run."

D must rent the Princess Bride again someday

Zyka says, "FORGET about anything animated..."

You say, "Rent? Buy, dammit! It's the Princess Bride, for pete's sake! You

have to have it around so you can subject PB virgins to it at a moment's

notice."

Zyka laughs.

D says, "Heh. Why not? When I was in jhs, I'd still watch normal american

crapass cartoons. Not to mention anime."

Zyka says, "I haven't seen that since I was 6"

Zyka says, "You say 'foreign' they say 'joking'"

Eclipse has a copy, an illegally copied copy that I can only watch on his

computer, but a copy all the same.

D says, "You need better friends then."

Zyka says, "The only anime that I've seen is on the TV. My parents don't want

to see cartoons, my friends would rather watch American, Hollywood drivel."

Zyka says, "Damn hollywood."

D says, "You poor thing."

Zyka sobs

D comforts Zyka.

Zyka blows her nose. "I'll... I'll be okay..."

You say, "There is hope, Zyka. I wasn't exposed to real anime until I was in

college, and I've only started actively watching it in the last six months."

D says, "Mmm.. anime.. Tetsuyo is my role model!"

D says, "Get power, go crazy, destroy Tokyo."

Zyka says, "...And the first time I saw Gundam Wing, it was the two-hour long

Endless Waltz special."

D can't stand Gundam Wing

Zyka says, "The angst still haunts me."

Zyka says, "Well, it's that and Sailor Moon. And Dragonball Z, which I don't

understand."

You say, "I saw an fan-made MST 3K version of Endless Waltz. It was funny as

hell."

D says, "DBZ! Yee haa!"

D says, "Oh? Where?"

D says, "It's simple. You just have to watch it for a long time."

Zyka says, "OOOOH! Oh, yes and that's another thing I haven't seen... MST3K is

only on a special channel. Which my parents won't pay for."

D says, "I must warn you Eric, if you haven't noticed, I'm in a looney mood

today."

Zyka says, "I don't know about him, but I noticed..."

<Login> Oriana has connected from 12.2.97.152 on Sat Jun 16 17:01:39 2001 EST.

Oriana has arrived.

D says, "Beth!"

Zyka waves

Oriana says, "Hi all, how goes it tonight?"

Zyka says, "i'm just watching..."

Oriana sits down on the comfortable couch.

Eclipse misses MST3K. "And I'm going to miss LEXX even more when the new

season starts in July, since I don't have cable. My parents had basic cable

(local channels only) because we were too far from the tv stations, but the

cable company screwed up and gave us the sci-fi channel for free.

Zyka says, "Oh, if only."

Oriana misses MST3K too...she's had to resort to heckling the current

theatrical releases and annoying her friends and the rest of the theatre

patrons...

Zyka says, "But, on the bright side, when we move at the end of the summer, we

get Space and Food Network and all sorts of other things (READ: Highlander

and Iron Chef) free for 6 months."

Oriana says, "FYI guys, I might have to be absent for awhile...it looks like

there are some thunderstorms headed for "

D says, "Got this chars desc in btw."

D says, "Ick =P"

Oriana grabs the pretzel rods somebody left behind at the hotel today.

Mmmmm...pretzels...

!!! 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.

D says, "Eeewww. God only knows where those've been, or what someone's done

with those."

Oriana is beyond caring at this point in time

D knows well what HE does with food he leaves behind

D blanches

Zyka laughs

Oriana is glad, then, that she can be relatively sure Tyson was not staying at

Park Inn last night

D says, "Now, we just need Koi, AlMarth, and Rahab."

<Login> AlMarth has connected from h24-68-236-247.cg.shawcable.net on Sat Jun

16 17:08:59 2001 EST.

AlMarth has arrived.

D says, "Yeah, good for you. Otherwise you might be eating Toxic HoHo's(tm)

right now"

D says, "Howdy Alk"

D says, "Al even"

AlMarth says, "Hi there""

Zyka says, "Hello"

Eclipse has a bad habit of heckling movies. "It's safer for me to watch

movies at home, where I can't be kicked out."

Oriana says, "Hi Al"

Zyka says, "My bf just got his karate 4th dan"

Eclipse tries to catch up with the conversation...

Oriana only heckles if she deems a movie uninteresting enough to hold her

attention in any other way

D says, "Could you see a Lasombra through a one way mirror?"

Oriana tries not to think about questions like that...they make her brain hurt

You say, "Alright, I'm caught up, now. Would anyone care for some pizza while

we're waiting?"

Oriana says, "Sounds like a plan"

AlMarth says, "Pizza is good""

Zyka says, "When I was at a (Buffy addicted) friend's house, I was SO bored

that I figured out what clans the vampires would be."

Zyka likes pizza

You give the pizza to Oriana.

Oriana needs to hear about the Buffy clan thing...if only to annoy her

Buffy-watching friends come fall

You say, "Mountain Dew and Doritos are available from the machines in the

gamin nexus."

Oriana thanks Eclipse for the pizza, and digs in

D says, "I wonder if virgins really do taste better.."

Eclipse grins. "They gave me WAY too much power around here...

You say, "Read the link at GCP, and Tyson's comment will make more sense. I

promise."

AlMarth says, "I just started listening to that""

Zyka says, "Spike is SUCH a Brujah... and Angel is Toreador. Just because of

the angst."

Oriana says, "I agree..."

D sings along "We'll simply make sure... theres no virgins at all.."

D says, "Eric, instead of pizza, can I have barbequed wench?"

You now have barbequed wench with object number #343 and parent Generic Pizza

(#339).

Zyka laughs

Description for barbequed wench (#343) set.

You give the barbequed wench to D.

Zyka writes 'EVIL' across Tyson's forehead with permanent marker.

You say, "Anyone else hungry?"

AlMarth says, "I want Barbequed wench too"

Oriana says, "Where do you find barbequed wench anyway? Hannibal Lecter's

Fine Meat Emporium?"

Zyka says, "you guys are all sick."

AlMarth says, "we sure are"

Zyka says, "I'm not saying that's a BAD thing..."

Oriana says, "Maybe you shouldn't hang around us, then...I think it's

contagious. (c; "

<OOC> D says, "Dammit, this mud's commands are different from a normal mud."

You now have BBQed wench with object number #334 and parent barbequed wench

(#343).

D says, "I'm a sick bastard. Ask Labrat..."

<OOC> Zyka says, "that's cause it's a MOO"

You give the BBQed wench to AlMarth.

Zyka says, "Who?"

D says, "Not as sick as Vince with the halfling leg/druid sex thing."

D says, "Labyrus"

Zyka says, "WHAT?!"

Oriana doesn't think she wants to know about that...

AlMarth says, "I'm Labyrus, and read the logs on Tyson's site to see for

yourself"

You say, "I can conjure them at will. I'm a human replicator."

D says, "We were speculating how Labrat's char (2 1/2 foot Halfling) Wilbur

could have sex with the Druidess, and Vince had the idea of him using his

leg."

Zyka says, "What's the URL?"

D says, "The logs not posted yet"

Zyka says, "Brilliant."

<Login> Koi has connected from 10.30.1.70 on Sat Jun 16 17:20:48 2001 EST.

Oriana says, "Dude...I WAS eating..."

Zyka says, "Pure, demented genuis."

Koi has arrived.

D says, "And I'm not sure, but I think my characters as lesbian now."

AlMarth says, "the other logs all contain similarily disturbing content"

Koi says, "Heya all. ;)"

You now have pizza with object number #345 and parent Generic Pizza (#339).

AlMarth says, "I don't know the URL though"

You give the pizza to Koi.

Oriana says, "Hi Koi!"

D says, "Maybe I should post the "Night of the Fucking Dead" conversation"

Zyka says, "I'm really gonna hate it when the groups merge..."

Oriana says, "No, Tyson, maybe you SHOULDN'T."

AlMarth says, "Hey Koi"

You say, "Merge?"

Zyka agrees with Oriana

Zyka says, "Nevermind. meet. Been watching too much Survivor."

D says, "Mmmmm.. Merging.."

Oriana says, "LOL!"

D says, "Lo Koi."

AlMarth says, "I think Tysib would get voted off the island"

Zyka says, "DAMN! Been giving Ty ideas."

AlMarth says, "Tyson I mean"

D says, "If I was really there? Hehehe. No, they'd probably be to frightened

to.."

You say, "So have we agreed upon 'The Travelling Orgy' for a cabal name?"

D says, "Yes please."

Oriana says, "NO!!!!"

Zyka laughs

AlMarth says, "I want an alternative"

Oriana would vote herself off the Survivor island, just to get away from the

morons they find to populate that show

Zyka laughs harder

You say, "Then come up with one."

Oriana says, "Can't you just imagine it? If these gaming groups were an

episode of Survivor..."

D says, "The TTP Project."

D says, "That would be soooo messed up."

Zyka says, "i don't *wanna* imagine that..."

D says, "How do I eat my wench?"

Oriana suggests "The Angst Brigade"

AlMarth says, "The closet cabal"

Oriana says, "Ewwww! Um...no."

Zyka loves the suggestions...

D says, "Hey Beth, we gonna get a quote page on your site?"

Zyka says, "You guys need one."

Oriana says, "That depends on whether I get off my lazy ass and do it...do you

guys want one?"

You say, "Type 'eat wench'"

D says, "Oh yes"

D says, "Share the insanity"

D eats some of her barbequed wench. Almost all of it remains.

D says, "That didn't work before.."

Zyka laughs

D eats some of her barbequed wench. Almost all of it remains.

D eats some of her barbequed wench. About three-quarters of it remains.

D eats some of her barbequed wench. Almost none of it remains.

D finishes up her barbequed wench. *burp*

Alias wench added to BBQed wench(#334).

Aliases for BBQed wench(#334) are now {"BBQed wench", "wench"}

D says, "More wench!"

Oriana will begin the quote page within the next few days

Oriana would eat her pizza but is laughing too hard to successfully accomplish

that task...

Zyka says, "'More wench!' should go on it."

Oriana agrees

You now have barbequed wench with object number #346 and parent BBQed wench

(#334).

Koi giggles.

Zyka says, "Even if it's NOT in game..."

You don't perceive a "wench" on you.

AlMarth eats his barbequed wench, garnishes it with steak sauce, then eats more

Oriana says, "Hey, there's OOC things on my other quote lists too..."

D exits.

D has arrived.

D flops down on the comfortable couch.

Oriana eats some of her pizza. Almost all of it remains.

Zyka says, "They're always the best"

D drops the barbequed wench.

Barbequed wench

There is nothing but a crumpled, nondescript consumable container remaining.

D says, "My wench is empty."

Oriana says, "Ten second rule!"

Zyka sits down on the comfortable couch.

Eclipse tries helplessly to stop laughing.

Zyka says, "Ty sounded so... dissapointed."

Oriana says, "You didn't expect THIS when you programmed the food stuff, did

you?"

Zyka says, "And if you did, what kind of sick freak are you?"

AlMarth says, "the wench was a little burnt, I'd like a rarer one"

D points Zyka.

D says, "Right there, buddy."

Zyka screams!

You say, "Not really... I had to improvise the wench from a pizza.

Strangely, the component particles are the same. The only difference lies in

the arrangement..."

Oriana says, "Hey! Stop eating your fellow players!"

Oriana says, "(Now, THERE'S a phrase I hoped never to say...)"

D says, "Can we have a wench vending machine in the lobby?"

Zyka says, "'Rare' implies dangerously cooked."

Koi laughs. "What price?"

You say, "I'll think about it..."

AlMarth says, "But she looks so tasty"

Koi says, "Mmmm....two doller wench..."

Zyka says, "Let it look at the oven in terror, then bring it to me!"

Zyka stops quoting the 10th Kingdom.

Oriana wonders what the male equivalent of a wench would be...

Eclipse prefers creating BBQed wenches that have never been alive.

D says, "Stable boy?"

Zyka says, "Yum."

D says, "Postman?"

Zyka says, "Even better"

AlMarth says, "Manch?"

Oriana says, "ROFLMAO"

Oriana says, "I like Al's best..."

Koi says, "Bard ;)"

Zyka says, "Yep. That works."

AlMarth says, "or perhaps munch would be more appropriate"

D says, "The US Post office. Servicing lonely house wives, and having wild

fire fights since 1900!"

Zyka says, "Hey, Eric, can I have some sauteed manch, please?"

Oriana says, "No, manch works well for me..."

You say, "Sure..."

Oriana says, "Serving suggestion: Eat with fava beans and a nice Chianti."

AlMarth says, "then again, you could eat fried munchkin"

You don't perceive a "#369" around here.

Zyka says, "Traditional GCP food."

D says, "Can I have a Munchkinkabob? Still screaming?"

Oriana says, "Just when I thought I'd *escaped* the cannibalism jokes by

coming home from college...*G*"

You now have sauteed manch with object number #347 and parent Generic Pizza

(#339).

Zyka says, "Nope! ;)"

Koi laughs.

D says, "Who're we waiting for now?"

AlMarth says, "You peel them out of the +5 full plate to eat them"

Description for sauteed manch (#347) set.

Oriana says, "Rahab and the other guy, I think..."

Zyka says, "Canned Munchkin!"

You now have manch with object number #348 and parent sauteed manch (#347).

You give the manch to Oriana.

Oriana says, "Is that like the SPAM of the gamer world?"

Oriana says, "Mmmmm...manch..."

Oriana eats some of her manch. Almost all of it remains.

Zyka wants some manch, too.

D picks up the phone and dials a number "Hey, do you have Munchkin in a can?"

Alias manch added to sauteed manch(#347).

Aliases for sauteed manch(#347) are now {"sauteed manch", "manch"}

Koi says, "Mmmm...canned munchkin..."

Zyka pouts.

D says, "You do? Then for the love of god, leave it in there!"

You give the sauteed manch to Zyka.

Oriana give manch Zyka

Oriana says, "Wow...that didn't work..."

Zyka says, "Thank you!"

You say, "You guys DO realize this is a little weird..."

Zyka eats some of her sauteed manch. Almost all of it remains.

Oriana says, "LOL!!"

Oriana says, "A little weird?!"

D says, "Can I have some more wench?"

Zyka says, "Only a LITTLE..."

Zyka eats some of her sauteed manch. Almost all of it remains.

Oriana eats some of her manch. Almost all of it remains.

Zyka eats some of her sauteed manch. About three-quarters of it remains.

AlMarth says, "can I have more wench too"

Zyka says, "Good manch, Eric."

Oriana says, "Now, you're just getting greedy..."

Zyka eats some of her sauteed manch. About three-quarters of it remains.

D tries to repress the memories of his highschool group again

Oriana wisely decides not to ask

Zyka laughs. Very hard.

Oriana is going to go play with her high school group again in a few

weeks...which should be...interesting...to say the least.

Koi says, "I don't even wanna know...""

D says, "Noo.. noo.. they're all coming back..."

Zyka isn't in high school yet.

Eclipse rubs his temples muttering, "It's only a game. I must not judge.

It's only a game. I must not judge..."

Oriana feels sorry for Zyka...

Zyka can't wait of the sheer wierdness of it all.

Zyka spelled weird wrong. how weird

AlMarth isn't in high school yet either

You say, "And college has the potential to be even weirder..."

Oriana can second that statement...

Zyka sighs...

D says, "Really? It gets weirder?"

Koi says, "Heck yeah."

Zyka says, "Next year's gonna rock."

D says, "It gets weirder than the cybernetic half orc with a dozen prehensile

penis'?"

AlMarth is going to have to take transit downtown to high school

Zyka will, too.

Zyka says, "well, not downtown..."

AlMarth says, "don't you live in calgary too, Megathan, what school will you

be going too?"

AlMarth says, "to"

Oriana's college group has contained, among other things, a Cultist who got

trapped in a Gumby cartoon in the Hollywood Dream Realm, and escaped by

growing breasts and seducing Pokey...

Zyka says, "Scarlett"

AlMarth says, "I"

D says, "Ok... thats pretty weird."

AlMarth says, "I'm going to western"

Koi says, "Yeah...that definatly fits into the weird catagory."

Zyka says, "I still like the lethal damage carmel corn."

D says, "Could we start w/o Rahab perhaps?"

D says, "And the other guy was afk most of last session too."

Oriana says, "And that's not even bringing up the Son of Ether who carried

what she thought was her lover's charred, severed penis around in her pocket

for months before finding out it didn't even belong to him..."

D says, "So she was carrying around someone else' charred severed penis?"

Zyka says, "They nearly KILLED a guy with that stuff..."

You say, "During my New Year's game, the three female characters seduced three

hags into giving them the information they wanted. The men of the party used

Fog Clouds and Dancing Lights to create the mood while the women danced.

That was a bit odd, too."

Koi says, "Rahab isn't going to be here for a bit"

Oriana says, "Yes, she was...it was...well, weird."

Zyka says, "AlMarth, where are you now?"

D says, "Where'd she get it? I can't imagine charred severed penis' grow on

trees."

Zyka says, "Schoolwise"

AlMarth says, "Fairview Jr High"

Oriana says, "It was given to her by the Incarnation of Corruption..."

D says, "Hey Eclipse, can I have a charred severed penis to go with the wench?"

Oriana says, "YUCK!!"

D says, "And she believed him?"

Koi says, "Err....gross. ;)"

Zyka dies laughing.

You say, "<default GM response>"

AlMarth says, "Ewww"

Oriana says, "Yes, she did...but she's also mostly insane, so, that explains a

few things..."

D says, "Yes it does, but not why it didn't start rotting."

Oriana is SO glad that reality shifted wildly in her Mage game...now we're no

longer in Charred Severed Penis Land, but a bad episode of Star Trek:

Voyager...

Zyka says, "Who's played by Jeri Ryan?"

Oriana says, "The guy was the most powerful Nephandi in existence...that

probably explains a few things."

D says, "Can we start NOW before this gets weirder?"

You say, "Well, I think we're about ready to begin."

D says, "Whos penis was it?"

Zyka says, "I thought you liked it?"

Oriana says, "Well, we DO have an ex-Technocrat who acts a LOT like Seven of

Nine..."

Eclipse puts on his dragon medallion.

You go in-character. Your actions now reflect your character and not

necessarily yourself.

D says, "I do, but it might not stop if we let it go on."

Oriana says, "Some random guy's, we never found out whose..."

Zyka thinks that's neat.

D says, "So the incarnation of corruption just goes around collecting those?"

D says, "How.. Odd."

Oriana says, "-Zyka It was okay, but the new thing is a lot better because our

group isn't being turned against one another..."

You say, "Last week, you had just found Iphigenia in the gardens of the

Hospital"

Zyka says, "It's not odd, it's Nephandi!"

Zyka shuts up for the game.

Oriana says, "Now we're playing Nephandi Land! It's like Candyland, only

scarier!"

Oriana also shuts up

Koi grins.

<OOC> Eclipse stifles a laugh.

AlMarth isn't likely to shut up

<OOC> Zyka laughs

<OOC> You say, "Maybe if D screws you, again..."

<OOC> D says, "I'll think about it."

<OOC> Zyka says, "It hurts..."

<OOC> Oriana is already getting screwed by D on a regular basis...well, not

physically anyhow...

<OOC> D says, "Yet."

D moves out of the garden and down the hall a bit to wait for Koi

AlMarth follows D, keeping quiet as requested

Oriana has received your page: "Arete check, dif 8"

D never told him to be quiet.

Koi peers into the garden just a bit, then turns to look at D. "You called?"

Oriana takes a bow...yes, it was me, how did you know? (c;

D talks quietly, "Yes we found her.. I'd like you to chat her up, try to find

out about her, where she sleeps. Seduce her maybe. I've got some preparations

to take care of with the others."

<OOC> Oriana says, "That last one was OOC, BTW"

<OOC> D says, "Oh yes..."

<OOC> You say, "I hope so..."

<OOC> Oriana says, "LOL! Me too!"

You say, "Is anyone actually planning to answer her question?"

speaking to him."

<OOC> Oriana says, "Good point..."

<OOC> Koi nods.

<OOC> AlMarth says, "right I'll talk to her then"

<OOC> You say, "Oh, and Al is beign the silent type right now. Great."

<OOC> Oriana loves how we just passed that duty off on Al...*G*

<OOC> You say, "Well, it is obvious from last week that you folks lie better

individually than as a group."

<OOC> Oriana says, "It certainly is..."

<OOC> Zyka is in awe of your "he'll do it" skils

AlMarth says, "I am Hugo Reinhart, and I have come a long ways to speak with

you fair princess"

<OOC> D says, "I sent Koi in for her, actually"

<OOC> Koi says, "Err...huh?"

D talks quietly (in the hall with Koi), "We found her.. I'd like you to chat

her up, try to find out about her, where she sleeps. Seduce her maybe. I've

got some preparations to take care of with the others."

You say, "She blushes. 'Please, sir. I am only Iphigenia, here.'"

AlMarth says, "You see, The Guiltbearer clan has struck a great victory"

<OOC> You say, "Utopis is here, now. He hadn't slept last weekend..."

AlMarth says, "Your father sent me to tell you the good news"

Koi glances over at the woman Al is talking to, then back at D with a raised

eyebrow. "What sort of preperations?"

D says, "Tell 'Hugo' to come here, and take over for him."

You say, "'News?'"

<OOC> AlMarth says, "gimme a minute"

D says, "What we need to keep everything and everyone going quietly and

smoothly."

Shan has received your page: "You there?"

AlMarth says, "you see, The Golgothan empire has been commiting evil acts

lately, as you have likely heard."

Koi frowns slightly, not sure he's happy to be left out of the 'preperations,'

but he nods, and starts toward the woman.

Shan pages, "Kinda, I think I'm going to have to go paint."

D pings Oriana "Come here."

<OOC> D says, "Via telepathy, of course."

Shan has received your page: "Fun. Join us later, if you can."

Oriana quietly excuses herself, slipping away to go to where D is

Zyka eats some of her sauteed manch. About two-thirds of it remains.

You say, "She blanches. 'I thought you said this was good news you brought.'"

AlMarth says, "The guiltbearers have assasinated key golgothan personnel,

almost completely neutralising it's military capability"

D thinks to Koi "Get the lying furball away from her before he screws up.."

AlMarth says, "they should no longer be a threat to the innocent people nearby"

Koi approaces Hugo slowly, getting within his view. "Sir Hugo..." He points at

D. "The lady wishes to speak with you."

You say, "She sighs sadly. 'That sounds like something Father would do. He

doesn't usually go for subtlty, but I know he doesn't trust the Empire."

AlMarth says, "Your father wants you to come home"

<OOC> You say, "Tag-team lying, now."

Shan pages, "Besides from here I can hear everything going on in that room."

<OOC> Oriana says, "LOL!"

AlMarth says, "I've got to go now, my wife needs my aid with something"

Zyka says, "Ty wins."

<OOC> Oriana stifles her giggles

AlMarth walks over to D

You say, "She shakes her head. 'I have a responsibility to the people here.

He knows I can't abandon the Island of Hospitalers.'"

Koi bows to Al as he goes, then turns to the woman. "Good day madam...it is a

pleasure to meet you."

You say, "'May peace favor you always,' she murmurs. 'Are you also a

messenger of my father's'"

Shan pages, "Most of what goes on."

D starts out of the hospital, bringing Oriana and AlMarth with her, speaking

quietly "Hugo, I'll need to you to go buy a 20' length of rope, a sea chest

big enough to put to the princess in, a riding crop, and a ball of red yarn.

A big one. Oriana, you'll be with me. We'll be collecting some special

things.."

D hands AlMarth some money

Zyka eats some of her sauteed manch. More than half of it remains.

Oriana gives D a distrustful look...she doesn't like the way this is shaping

up.

<OOC> Koi says, "Err...how long am I going to have to talk to her? :)"

!!! 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.

<OOC> D says, "Until you find out where she sleeps and as much else as you

can. Try and seduce her."

AlMarth goes to the kidnapping supply store and buys the stuff

<OOC> D says, "Bring the count up to 6."

<OOC> Oriana says, "LOL!!"

D walks along with Oriana "However did they manage to get you entangled in

this? Honestly now."

<OOC> Zyka says, "'Kidnapping supply store?' Riiiiiight...."

Koi smiles softly at the lady. "In a way...I'm afraid Hugo may have led you

astray slightly, we are not messangers for your father, he was more repeating

news we had heard during our travles.

D contacts Almarth "Have them waiting in my room."

<OOC> AlMarth says, "one stop shopping for all your abduction needs"

Oriana [to D]: If you must know...I was captured by your employer while I

slept.

<OOC> Koi bahs. "Seduction has been done. ;)

You say, "You only wish it were that easy!"

<OOC> Oriana says, "ROFL"

D says, "And before? What were you involved in?"

<OOC> AlMarth says, "by the way, being a cat I'd like to buy some extra Yarn"

You say, "Since you haven't said anything to her except for your introduction,

I'd say you're starting to lose her interest. She's probably worrying about

the families of all those people her father had killed, Koi."

Oriana [to D]: For the past few years I've...offered my martial skills to

qualified bidders.

D pages, "Variel the one who sent us on our mission, right?"

D has received your page: "Yes."

<OOC> Koi says, "Err...."

Zyka eats some of her sauteed manch. Half of it remains.

<OOC> Koi points back up to what he said to her ecli ;)

<OOC> Koi reposts it.

Koi smiles softly at the lady. "In a way...I'm afraid Hugo may have led you

astray slightly, we are not messangers for your father, he was more repeating

news we had heard during our travles.

You say, "'I see. He is a tanak, after all. I should have been a bit more

wary.'"

D says, "What brought you to Master Variel's attention?"

You say, "She smiles slightly with amusement."

Koi chuckles softly. "Yes...he tries...but I'm afraid it is in his nature my

lady."

Oriana says to D, almost off-handedly, "It might have something to do with the

fact that I've spent the past year trying to kill him."

You say, "She nods. 'I understand. What brings you to the Island of

Hospitalers? Are you traders?'"

D chuckles "I see. You have been busy. I'm sure he'll be eager to get you back

then, so you can begin your life as his toy."

Oriana shoots D a look that could freeze water, and says nothing more

D says, "Perhaps I should have AlMarth, or Koi if he wants, break you in on

the voyage back.. I'm sure they'll appreciate a break from the normal

monotony of the trip."

<OOC> AlMarth says, "heyyy I don't do humans"

D leaves the hospital, Oriana in tow, and goes looking for a general store

<OOC> Oriana says, ""In terms of inter-group backstabbing, anyway...*G*"

Koi nods. "Of a sorts...more travlers than traders. We do what we must though,

the journey being the reward."

You say, "I'm pretty sure the shopping expedition will be successful. D might

even be able to find some maternity clothes sized for a tanak."

<OOC> D says, "Eric wanted more angst, I wanted more corruption points. It all

works out."

<OOC> AlMarth says, "wasn't I the one shopping"

<OOC> D says, "So, do I find a general store?"

<OOC> You say, "One's looking for maternity clothes. The other is looking for

a bottle of poison."

<OOC> D says, "What what?"

<OOC> Oriana is a little confused right now...who am I with and what are we

doing?

You say, "There are a few small shops in the village. You'll have to do some

shopping to find what you want, though."

D is looking for a chest, sized to hold two small children

<OOC> Koi eyes D.

<OOC> You say, "Recap - Koi is chatting up Iphigenia. D and Al'Marth are

shopping for abduction tools and yarn, respectively. Oriana WAS with D, but

I don't know if he dragged her along."

<OOC> D says, "I did"

<OOC> Oriana says, "Okay, that explains a few things"

<OOC> D says, "Al'Marth isn't with Oriana and myself, I sent him off alone"

Koi sighs a little sadly. "I'm afraid my lady...that as late our travels have

been quite dull. There have been very few hospitable towns to be found for

some reason lately. We came here because we had heard of the hospitality of

this hospital."

<OOC> You say, "So, Oriana is helping D pick out maternity clothes. 'That

pink offsets your eyes.'"

<OOC> D says, "Nope."

<OOC> AlMarth says, "what is a riding crop?"

<OOC> Oriana says, "A stick for beating horses"

<OOC> D says, "A small whip like thing used for encouraging horses"

<OOC> Oriana says, "Or that..."

You say, "Iph says, 'That is an unusual attitude for a Traveller.' She seems

You say, "Okay, D, you buy a largish chest and some diapers."

<OOC> D says, "Why would I buy diapers?"

You say, "Al, you find all the items on your list."

<OOC> AlMarth says, "I've got to go, brb"

<OOC> You say, "I was just kidding about the diapers."

D says to the Shopkeeper "I don't suppose you could point me in the direction

<OOC> D says, "And rope?"

You say, "Koi, roll me a Per + Culture check, dif 6"

<OOC> Koi says, "The dice like me tonight"

You say, "Koi, Travellers have an entire subculture deeply rooted in

storytelling and oral tradition. A Traveller without a tale to tell is as

rare as a tone-deaf Troubador."

You say, "3, right Tyson?"

<OOC> Koi says, "Doh!"

<OOC> D says, "Yeah"

<OOC> Koi hmms

<OOC> Koi prepares to BS.

<OOC> D says, ""Sergeant, prepare bullshit torpedoes and prepare to launch!""

You say, "D, no. You can cause small shift in reactions to stimuli, but you

can't control them directly."

<OOC> D says, "Ok then, is there anything I could pick up in the shop for that

can be used as soporofic?"

Koi attemts a charming smile for the lady. "However...very nearby to here we

happened to come across the most interesting couple..."

<OOC> D says, "eheheh"

<OOC> Koi muwahs.

<OOC> Oriana is a little weirded out by all the freaky OOC noises going on

around her

<OOC> D says, "And if theres nothing else, can I pick up some REALLY strong

liquor?"

You say, "Try the pub. ;-) There really aren't many shops that sell drugs of

any kind. A few individuals might have something in their homes, but you'd

have to go door to door searching them, and the constables already seem to be

watching you VERY closely."

<OOC> You say, "Shit."

You say, "Her eyes light up slightly. 'Oh really? Tell me about them.'"

<OOC> Koi laughs like mad.

Oriana is ignoring D

<OOC> You say, "Koi, what is your current Willpower?"

<OOC> Koi says, "8"

Eclipse rolled 4d10: 1, 1, 5, 4; totalling 11.

<OOC> You say, "Ouch."

<OOC> Zyka says, "the lowest in my M:tA is 9"

<OOC> Oriana says, "The *highest* in my Changeling group is 5"

<OOC> Zyka says, "Woah."

<OOC> D says, "remembers the guy who worked out how to have a 15 wp. Don't ask

me how. He raided some obscure books, I do believe."

<OOC> Oriana says, "But mages need WP a lot more than changelings do..."

<OOC> Zyka says, "AAAAAH!"

Koi continues, chuckling softly and winking at the woman. "Well...at the time

we meet them it appeared that they had snuck off to enjoy each others company

for a while, but when we spoke with them, they told us the most amazing

story."

<OOC> D says, "Do I find that pub?"

You say, "She seems to be relaxing somewhat. 'And what was that?'"

<OOC> Zyka wonders why *your* cabal gets all the sex

<OOC> D says, "Because we're angst mongers."

You say, "D, yes. And you can find something seriously alcoholic."

<OOC> Oriana says, "Yeah, but we get all the angst too...you guys just get the

Lunch Break of Terror."

D buys a few bottles then steps outside and looks up and down the street.

<OOC> Zyka says, "I can be an angst monger!"

D pages, "I'm looking for small children playing."

<OOC> Oriana will always have you beat. *smirk*

<OOC> Zyka says, "Shut up about the lunch break."

Oriana eats some of her pizza. Almost all of it remains.

<OOC> D says, "Yeah, she's my slave for now, so shes gonna get mega angst."

Zyka says, "I still have nightmares about that."

<OOC> Oriana says, "Tyson, you should know that I have NEVER wanted to kill a

fellow PC as much as I want to kill D right now. And yes, that includes

Laurel the munchkin bitch. :P"

<OOC> AlMarth returns with a bowl of Kraft Dinner

D has received your page: "I'm sure there are a few around here, somewhere.

But I'm not joking about the number of constables who are hanging around you

three..."

<OOC> Zyka is just a baby angst monger. Go easy on her.

<OOC> Oriana says, "LOL!"

Koi says, "Well..." He pauses for dramatic effect, "It would appear that they

had eloped...for the girl's father had long opposed their marrage.""

D pages, "I just want to know if there are any for when I need them."

<OOC> Zyka gasps

<OOC> Oriana should be there instead of Koi, her Expression score probably

kicks his butt...

You say, "'And?'"

<OOC> D says, "Well. I'm glad, quite glad that I'm doing my job well"

<OOC> Oriana thinks that D is EEVIL! EEVIL, I tell you!

<OOC> You say, "Pass the Torch of Misinformation?"

<OOC> Oriana says, "Oh, so it's a torch now?"

D has the chest and the alchohol and starts back to the hospital

<OOC> Koi says, "Mor than likely...but she sent me...don't ask me why? :)"

ability."

Eclipse rolled 4d10: 9, 10, 10, 5; totalling 34.

<OOC> D says, "Because I didn't trust AlMarth, and I wanted to torment Oriana

some more"

D says, "You'll probably begin to enjoy it, after a few years."

<OOC> You say, "The dice do NOT like me, tonight..."

<OOC> D says, "Is good, yes?"

<OOC> Zyka says, "Ty really *IS* evil."

<OOC> D says, "Got that right."

You say, "Al'Marth, you have everything. D, you have everything. Koi, you're

making up the story as you go along, aren't you? <grin>"

Oriana starts heading for the garden as soon as she receives the order from D,

grateful to get away from her

D leaves everything in her room and checks on AlMarth

Koi smiles. "The man was a feirce warrior...one of the strongest in the land.

He had proven himself to be the best in many of the diciplines,

swordsmanship, jousting, everything a knight should know...but he was still

mearly a commoner, only allowed to serve within commons army...despite his

great ability."

<OOC> Koi says, "Ohhh yes...I'm bsing like there's no tommorrow."

You say, "Oriana arrives in the garden where Koi is lying."

<OOC> Oriana says, "Do I hear his last post?"

AlMarth has everything he was asked to buy

<OOC> You say, "Sure."

<OOC> Eclipse wonders if Al'Marth picked up some limes while he was out.

D says, "Good boy AlMarth. I'll be sure you're well rewarded for your

obediance on the trip back.."

Oriana silently walks up to stand beside Koi, deciding she'll keep quiet until

he REALLY screws up and she has to bail him out...

<OOC> Koi bonks Oriana onna head. ;)

AlMarth smiles extatically

D says, "You'll enjoy yourself, and I'm sure Oriana will, eventually."

<OOC> Oriana is about the right height for that, too. :P

<OOC> Oriana says, "Tyson, you're just BEGGING to get killed, aren't you? (c;"

D says, "I suppose I'll need to keep an eye on you, come along then."

AlMarth Frowns "Orianna?"

<OOC> D says, "Nope, just milking the angst Moo-Moo for all shes worth"

D says, "Yes. She'll be pleasuring you during the trip back."

D says, "I want her well.. educated, by the time Master Varien gets his hands

back on her."

<OOC> Zyka has aching abs from laughing nonstop for 15 min

AlMarth looks disgusted "A halfling"

Koi says, "Still...as such an excellent warrior he was well respected by all,

even offered to visit the baron of his homestead....which led to him meeting

the lady."

You say, "'Fascinating. What country did you said they came from?'"

<OOC> Koi bonks Eclipse.

D looks AlMarth up and down "Like you should be picky. In fact, go, shave off

all your body hair. I want you to be all sleek and shiny. Then come and find

me, I'll be looking for a good healer."

<OOC> Koi says, "Would I know any of the countries around here?"

<OOC> You say, "And we see why Culture and Linguistics are the two most

important skills for a good lie..."

<OOC> Oriana says, "HOW did I get into this situation?!?!"

You say, "Koi, give me an Int + Culture check, dif 7."

AlMarth says, "Shave off my body hair!?"

D says, "Yes, all of it."

You say, "While we're at it, Oriana. Give me the same check, dif 6"

D says, "I want you gleaming."

Koi rolled 2d10: 2, 4; totalling 6.

<OOC> Koi says, "Hey...why does she get a different dif? ;)"

<OOC> Oriana is beginning to get seriously grossed out here...

D leaves AlMarth to his shaving and goes looking for someone to direct her to

a good healer.

AlMarth says, "couldn't I just grease up my hair?"

D says, "No. I want it GONE!"

<OOC> You say, "You're under a LOT more stress, Koi. She's just watching you

squirm."

<OOC> Koi says, "Bah...he's centered...he's all about clam and keeping your

cool under any situation. ;)"

<OOC> D says, "I'm sure Eric has how I'm going to pay for all this worked out."

Eclipse reminds D that she is in an EPAGAN HOSPITAL, for heaven's sake!

<OOC> D says, "I mean a really good one."

<OOC> Koi says, "Not to mention, if she appears to be buying it...which I

thought she was, it'd boost his confidence."

AlMarth , feeling the deadly tug of the mental enchantment, reluctantly looks

for a razor

Oriana speaks up. "You'll have to excuse my cohort...the stress of the

journey seems to be affecting his storytelling abilities. It's strange, he's

not usually like this. (to Koi) Can you go on, my friend?"

You say, "Koi, you have to come up with the name of a country, on the spot,

where this story could reasonably take place, for the amusement of a woman

with Culture 3. Tell me if she's going to buy it... How she'll react is a

different matter, of course."

<OOC> Koi shrugs. "Who said I had to tell her a real name?" :)

<OOC> D says, "People do it all the time. Thats why theres a 'France' on the

map."

You say, "'Has he spent too much time in tanak lands, I'll wager,' she laughs."

<OOC> D says, "They've even invented a language for them"

Oriana laughs as well. "Something like that, I fear."

Koi glances over to Oriana frowning slightly, then shruging nonchalantly. "I

was just trying to rememember where we had met that couple we found along the

road oh so long ago."

You say, "'So, Traveller, what stories have you to tell of your travels?"

D pages, "I find an acolyte or something?"

<OOC> Oriana says, "You are enjoying this entirely too much for your own good."

Oriana says, "The only stories I have are sad ones."

D has received your page: "Sure, but they aren't going to any be younger than

14."

D pages, "Ok, I'm asking one if theres a healer skilled in repairing the

damage of old wounds here."

You say, "She touches your arm gently, eyes filled with compassion.

'Sometimes the pain grows less with its telling, Oriana.'"

<Logout> Zyka has disconnected on Sat Jun 16 19:01:24 2001 EST

Zyka has lost her link.

Koi . o O ( Damn....should have remembered how Epagans think. )

<OOC> D says, "Has made a note of it, and will exploit it for all it's worth."

<OOC> Koi grins.

Koi smlies softly at Oriana, own eyes growning a bit sad as he falls silent.

D has received your page: "Icelas might be able to pull it off, but it will

not be easy or without risk."

D pages, ""I see. Thank you, could you direct me to her?""

D has received your page: "She's out on the ships, today, searching for people

in distress. She should return shortly after dawn tomorrow."

D pages, ""Thank you. I'll be sure and talk to her then. Good day.""

Oriana is silent for a moment, then replies, "Perhaps, but I do not wish to

burden you or the others on this island with it."

D finishes her business for now, and decides to head to the Garden to check on

how things are going.

You say, "Iphigenia holds out her hands. 'Please, it is our vocation to

accept the burdens of others. We are called to ease suffering of all kinds.'"

Eclipse rolled 3d10: 1, 4, 9; totalling 14.

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.

Koi murmurs softly. "She get's so sad...when she tells them."

!!! 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.

<OOC> D says, "AlMarth all shiny and pretty yet?"

<OOC> AlMarth says, "Have I even found a razor?"

You say, "Sure, D. You can lick the lucky kitty without getting furballs,

now..."

<OOC> D says, "Whoohoo."

<OOC> AlMarth says, "So that's what this is about"

<OOC> Koi eeewwwssss......

<OOC> D says, "No, not really. I did it for the sake of being cruel."

<OOC> D says, "It's what D would have done."

Oriana says, "The story I know goes something like this. There was once a

young woman to whom life had been very kind. She had found the love of her

life and they were very happy together. Even when their life together was

turned on its ear, he left his home with her to explore the new talents she

had discovered..."

You say, "'There are many kinds of prisoners, Oriana. Some know they are

ensnared. Others do not realize they are trapped.'"

You say, "'You loved Ben deeply,' she murmurs."

<OOC> D says, ".... Ok. Now THAT is truly paranoia inducing."

<OOC> D says, "And that clinches it."

<OOC> Koi says, "Murmurs only to Oriana? Or loud enough to hear?"

Oriana gives Iphigenia a shocked look. "Yes...she did."

<OOC> You say, "Barely loudly enough for Koi to hear."

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

<OOC> AlMarth says, "brb, again"

D continues to the Garden..

You say, "D arrives. She is still out of earshot, but she will be here soon."

Koi frowns deeply, shaking his head and reaching out for Oriana. "No...this is

too much...I do not wish to see her so unhappy again." He turns to adress the

Epagin. "We must be going I'm afraid."

Oriana takes a deep breath before continuing. "But too soon...her true love

was murdered in cold blood while trying to protect a friend. From that day

forward this woman thought only of revenge on his killer. Things went wrong,

and she works against her will for the one she despises most.

You say, "'May you both find peace.'"

<OOC> Koi says, "Hmmm...should prolly place mine after her's. ;)"

Oriana says, "Thank you."

Koi smiles at the Woman and nods. "And you as well." Then turns to lead Oriana

off.

You say, "D arrives just as you turn away."

<OOC> Oriana says, "BRB...need to go grab some dinner."

D stops a bit away from Iphigenea and says quietly "Meet me in our rooms in a

bit. I'll be there soon."

You say, "Iphigenia turns to return to the Hospital for dinner."

D steps up behind her as the others leave "So you're the famous Princess

Iphigenia."

Koi leads Oriana away from Iphigenia in worried/consoling friend like manner.

You say, "She shakes her head. 'I am not famous, D. I am simply Iphigenia,

here. I require no other title.'"

D cocks an eyebrow "Nice trick, I don't recall introducing myself."

Oriana isn't really responding to anything Koi says/does...she seems confused

by his sudden concern.

<OOC> Oriana looks up at the sky as the angst level shoots through the roof

D studies Iphigenia intently, memorizing her face.

D says, "I've heard a little about you. It's surprising, a princess giving up

her title to become a lowly healer."

You say, "She smiles mischievously. 'Peace of mind is as important as

wholeness of body, to a true healer.'"

<OOC> You say, "But at least it's GOOD angst!"

D says, "As long as they both work, peace and wholeness are not important."

Once inside a doorway and out of site, Koi abandons the concern and reverts

back to his normal stern look. "Becareful, you should have denied even

knowing a name such as that." [Koi]

<OOC> Oriana says, "Good angst! You get a biscuit!"

<Login> God has connected from 172.148.2.11 on Sat Jun 16 19:20:02 2001 EST.

<OOC> Koi says, "heh heh"

Oriana [to Koi]: And why is that?

<Logout> God has disconnected on Sat Jun 16 19:20:52 2001 EST

You say, "'I gave up nothing except pride. And what is pride except dead

weight that prevents us from aiding others with all of our energy? It merely

diverts our attention from what is truly important in life.'"

D says, "Privilage, wealth, servants, no labor.. Many would give up much for

those. And I agree.. Pride is deadweight. I gave it up long ago."

<OOC> AlMarth says, "I'm baak"

<OOC> AlMarth says, "back"

Koi frowns. "Because you are to preserve the secrecy of our mission."

D says, "Perhaps we can continue this discussion over dinner?"

<OOC> D says, "Wb"

You say, "She shakes her head sadly. 'You did not give up your pride. It was

stripped away from you. I do not know how, but Icelas will understand better

than me. She can make you whole and destroy you at the same time.'"

Oriana [to Koi]: How does telling the truth about a part of my past that has

no bearing on our mission damage its secrecy? As I recall, lying about

things such as this was what got us into trouble in the first place.

D looks surprised "You see far too deeply for comfort.. And don't believe I'll

allow myself to be.. destroyed."

D says, "And all that I am now is by my devising and my desire. I am my own

master."

<OOC> D says, "Anyone else near?"

Koi's eyes narrow slightly. "Because...the very fact that she knows that name

imply's that she knows more about you than she should. Denying the name

might, at the very least, had her question her belief's about you."

You say, "She rounds on you suddenly. 'Truly?! Then why are you afraid to

tell me the name of the ones who sent you here? FEAR is your master, D. You

have no control over your fate.'"

<OOC> You say, "No. They've all gone inside."

<OOC> Koi ooos. "Yoda..."

D says, "Fear? After what I have lived through, I... fear.. nothing."

Oriana's eyes narrow. "I don't pretend to have any power here. You can order

me to lie, and I will. But NEVER ask me to deny that name. NEVER."

D says, "And if you know that much about me, then you must know more."

D says, "You know why we are here."

D pulls a poisoned dagger and steps close to Iphigenia, placing the dagger

against her

<OOC> Oriana says, "This is getting interesting..."

Koi glares at Oriana for a moment more, eyes boring into hers. "Your past is

gone, as is mine. Cling to it all you like but you will do what you can to

help this mission succeed."

You say, "'Whoever stripped away your freedom was careful to conceal their

work. I can only see what they have allowed you to think. But there is ...

a scar in your mind that festers like a gangrous wound.'"

D says, "My Master desires your presence, Princess. You can come willingly, or

unwillingly. But remember, if you trouble us, I will take it out on others.

On children. I will kill them horribly. And if you escape.. when I recapture

you, I will kill dozens and feed their eyes to you raw."

<OOC> Koi coughs.

D says, "There is no scar. My masters have given me freedom from what I left

behind. But that does not matter. You will come with us."

Eclipse rolled 4d10: 4, 10, 5, 4; totalling 23.

<OOC> Koi says, "Please don't escape...I don't know what Koi would do if D

tried. ;)"

Oriana stares back at Koi. "I saw how you reacted back in the garden. I

don't think that was acting. You can say your past is gone. But I don't

think you believe it."

D isn't bluffing, btw

D says, "I'd intend to capture some children and make object lessons of them,

but you forced my hand."

D says, "And I was going to use Icelas then kill her, but I suppose this way

is better."

D says, "She might be dangerous."

<OOC> AlMarth says, "where is Almarth in all of this"

Koi's eyes waver...only slightly....then the narrow once again. "We are all

the will of Hemlock. You'd do better realize that soon enough. Now...D

ordered you to your room. I think you should go, -now-.

Oriana shoots Koi another poisonous look, then returns to her room...with the

strange feeling that she'd somehow won a small victory today.

D taps Eclipse on the forehead, to see if his awake

You say, "'I will go with you, D,' she says sadly. 'But it is not because I

fear you or your blade. I go of my free will, and I place myself at your

mercy for the sake of you and your fellow travellers.'"

<OOC> You say, "I really had to ponder that one. I rewrote it three or four

times..."

Koi shakes his head angryly, trying to clear it. Finally he turns to step just

to the edge of the doorway and look out at D.

D looks slightly put out, then rallies "Well.. good. You will come with me to

our rooms and obey. Now march."

<OOC> Oriana says, "What he means is he was just sitting back and watching the

fur fly...(c;"

<OOC> Koi laughs.

D walks close behind Iphigenia, till they reach the rooms

<OOC> Oriana says, "Do I see this going on?"

You say, "She does NOT march. She strolls as casually as if your dagger were

a bouquet of flowers."

Koi follows behind them, uncertain about what happened, but watching to see if

anyone follows.

D slides the dagger quietly back into it's sheath

<OOC> You say, "Oriana, yes, but you have your back to them."

<OOC> D says, "Well. This was unexpected."

<OOC> You say, "That is, you can only get glimpses."

<OOC> D says, "I was going to kill children, too."

<OOC> Koi grins.

<OOC> Koi pokes D.

You say, "You have reached the rooms."

<OOC> AlMarth says, "Gee, I wonder what she'd have to say to Almarth, she

seems to know a lot about a lot of people"

D pulls everyone into her room.

D sits Iphigenia down on a chair and stands behind her "Well, we have the

bitch."

D says, "And it was easier than I expected."

AlMarth Looks at D with disgust

<OOC> You say, "Remember what happened when D tried to read your mind?"

Koi walks in and looks at the woman, nodding to D. "I didn't expect it to be

this easy."

D says, "Gather your things folks, we're going to just walk out of here like a

breeze. Leave the chests we bought though." "

Oriana glares at D. "You don't have to talk about her that way. What we're

doing here is cruel enough already."

D says, "You, princess, will come with us, you will not betray us, and in fact

if any questions us, you will say we're merely going for a walk or some such.

And remember, if you betray us, you'll have to kill me instantly. Because I

will sink this dagger into you, and it's poison can kill anyone, even a mage

instantly. And if I survive that, I will butcher the children in this town

for your failure to obey."

You say, "Iphigenia touches Oriana's face. 'Be at peace. They are only doing

what they think they must."

AlMarth opens his mouth to say something, then bites it back, and joins Oriana

in glaring at D

D says, "Cruelty is a weapon Oriana. A good one."

Koi turns to look at D, saying firmly. "Quiet."

D says, "And it's a pleasure as well."

D says, "So, gather your items swiftly."

Oriana says, "You two are sick."

D laughs "Sick? No, this is merely business as usual. If I wanted to show you

sick, I'd give you to my family if I hadn't killed them all. But you'll

understand sick once Varien has his hands on you. His pleasures are bizarre,

I know. I've enjoyed them with him."

<OOC> Koi tries not to make lewed comments about Eclipses tag.

You say, "Iphigenia smiles slightly, a forced smile. 'I am looking forward to

meeting the one who created you, D. He or she must certainly require the

healing only our Masters of Mind can give him.'"

D says, "Nobody created me. I am what I am, because I choose to be."

<OOC> Oriana says, "Damn it, there were Masters of Mind here and nobody told

me? *mutter grumble*"

AlMarth scratches his itchy skin then gathers up his meager belongings

Koi frowns slightly at the Epagan, watching her for a long moment. . o O ( Why

is she not afraid? )

D says, "And don't forget the riding crop and the yarn."

<OOC> You say, "Unfortunately, she's on a boat, right now..."

<OOC> D says, "And I was going to kill her too. pout pout"

D keeps one eye on Iphigenia and gathers her things. "Everyone ready?"

<OOC> You say, "I sincerely doubt that..."

<OOC> D says, "One can always hope."

Koi has very little to gather, so... "I am."

Oriana gathers her belongings and returns to the room

AlMarth tosses the riding crop and yarn at D "You carry it, bitch"

Oriana gives Al'Marth a small smile

D looks a bit suprised "Pick them, and carry them. Or I will be forced to

punish you."

D says, "And you will never speak to me in such a tone again."

You say, "Iphigenia shakes her head. 'I have no need of these physical

trappings. The belong to the Hospital, now.'"

AlMarth bows his head, kneels down and picks up the items

Koi's eyes narrow at AlMarth. "Carry them...now."

<OOC> Koi bahs. "Darn...always so slow with my scolding."

D prods Iphigenia to her feet

D says, "Then lets go."

<OOC> You say, "She wasn't sitting."

D walks out the door, right behind Iphigenia, one hand under her cloak, on her

dagger

<OOC> D says, "Well, whatever"

Koi waits for the other's to follow, then brings up the rear.

Oriana follows D, her mind racing, trying to come up with a way to get out of

this...

D says, "And you two slaves, don't even THINK of trying to interferre."

D says, "Someone get Rahab."

<OOC> Koi says, ""There is no escaping the power of the dark side."

Koi get's the kid. ;)

Oriana says, "I'm not your slave."

D leers at Oriana "For now, you are."

AlMarth bites back another remark, but is visibly furious

Oriana says, "In mind, perhaps, but never in spirit."

You say, "Iphigenia continues to stroll. 'Perhaps it would be wise to eat

before we leave. Your ship is yet some ways off, and this little girl has

not eaten in a while,' she suggests calmly."

D almost looks sad before a maniacal grin spreads over her face "Maybe not

now, but soon, you will be."

D says, "We'll eat on the ship."

You say, "'What are you afraid of, D? Icelas will not return for many hours,

yet.'"

D whispers in Iphigenia's ear, so only she can hear "See the little girl?

First hint of trouble, and her heart will be on your breakfast plate."

D says, "The longer we delay, more can go wrong. Now come along, don't

dwaddle."

<OOC> Oriana feels like she's wandered into a Terry Goodkind novel...Richard

getting tortured by the Mord'Sith, anyone? (c;

<OOC> Koi hehs.

<OOC> D says, "Hehe. So, D's topped your list of most hated characters? =)"

<OOC> D says, "D would make a good Mord-Sith"

<OOC> Oriana says, "You already dropped Laurel to 2nd place last week,

Tyson..."

You say, "'Now, you are lying like a Tanak.' She smirks. 'You would

sacrifice the life of any of your company for Rahab's sake.'"

<OOC> D says, "YES!"

<OOC> You say, "Oh yes."

<OOC> Oriana says, "That's not something to be proud of..."

D says, "I've been ordered to bring you to the Master, not her. I would

sacrifice her for you in a heartbeat."

<OOC> Koi chuckles.

AlMarth Almarth carrys the ball of yarn by one end allowing it to unravel

behind him

Koi watches D, hoping she's bluffing.

You say, "'Put up your blade. I will not fight you.'"

Koi [to AlMarth]: Pick it up.

<OOC> You say, "D, what is your current willpower?"

<OOC> D says, "6"

Eclipse rolled 3d10: 3, 1, 2; totalling 6.

<OOC> D says, "Oh god, shes going to try some nasty mind magic on me?"

<OOC> Koi says, "rofl"

Private roll of 3d10: 1, 6, 1; totalling 8.

From Eclipse: private roll of 3d10: 1, 6, 1; totalling 8.

<OOC> D says, "Hemlock be praised."

<OOC> Koi says, ""Hemlock's will will prevail." :)"

<OOC> Koi likes using the word will twice in a row.

D glares at AlMarth "Carry it properly."

AlMarth Picks it up and begins wrapping it around his hands in an odd fashion

<OOC> You say, "You have forgotten the first rule of GM dice - never trust a

die roll a GM makes in public view..."

<OOC> D says, "Of course not."

<OOC> Koi chuckles.

<OOC> D says, "Where've we gotten to by now?"

You say, "Her suggestion sounds reasonable, but lacks force."

Eclipse rolled 3d10: 5, 1, 3; totalling 9.

<OOC> D says, "I already had my blade in it's sheath under my cloak"

D says, "Stop that."

<OOC> Koi grins.

D says, "Do it one more time, and I'll start cutting off her fingers."

<OOC> Koi says, "You know...I bet Rahab would have a bit to say about that."

You say, "D, your pants fall down while you're in the middle of a crowded

corridor. 'Now, stop that,' she orders the empty sky."

<OOC> D says, "I was whispering when I said Rahab. 'Her' could mean oriana"

D crouches down, eyes still on Iphigenia, and pulls up her pants

<OOC> Koi errs.

<OOC> Koi says, "Eclipse, that actually happened? :)"

Oriana chokes back her laughter

You say, "Quite a few Epagans noticed the event, but seem to discount it as an

amusing accident."

D stands back up, totally unembarrassed "Don't do that again Iphigenia."

<OOC> You say, "Oh yes. Entropy is so much fun, especially when she doesn't

even have it."

You say, "'That was not me.'"

Oriana casts her gaze toward the sky. "Whoever it was, let it be known it was

much appreciated."

D says, "I'm sure. It pointless. It doesn't bother me. My body is ugly, why

should I care if more parts of it are exposed to offend others."

<OOC> D says, "was pointless"

<OOC> D says, "Are we out of the hospital yet?"

Koi glances around cautiously, uncertain of what just happened.

You say, "You leave the Hospital behind."

2001 EST.

D begins heading casually in the direction of the ship

Hugon has arrived.

<OOC> D says, "With Iphigenia leading the way"

Oriana whispers to Al'Marth, "Am I the only one who doesn't want to just stand

back and let this happen?"

<OOC> D says, "Howdy Eus"

<OOC> Oriana says, "Hi Eus! (c:"

<OOC> Koi waves to Hugon.

<OOC> Hugon sneaks in with a trench coat to spy on everyone. @#;+)

<OOC> D says, "Nothing more than a steady flow of angst here."

<OOC> Oriana the Angst Halfling thinks D, the cause of so much angst,

shouldn't talk...*G*

AlMarth shakes his head, and shows Oriana what he has made of the Yarn, A

garrote

<OOC> D says, "Aren't we all having fun?"

<OOC> D says, "Heh. You missed the bbq wench fun."

Oriana eats some of her manch. About three-quarters of it remains.

<OOC> Oriana says, "Heh heh heh..."

<OOC> D says, "Can I have another barbeque'd wench Eric?"

Oriana whispers to Al'Marth, "Stay close to me...and let me know if you come

up with any ideas."

barbequed wench (#343) now has all its portions.

<OOC> AlMarth says, "me too, I'm hungry"

AlMarth

You see a player who should type '@describe me as ...'.

The person is carrying the BBQed wench.

AlMarth isn't wielding anything, armed only with their fists.

You don't perceive a "bbqed wench" around here.

AlMarth nods discreetly

You don't perceive a "BBQed wench" around here.

<OOC> D says, "By the way, is AlMarth all shiny now?"

I don't understand that.

<OOC> AlMarth says, "yeah"

You now have BBQed wench with object number #349 and parent barbequed wench

(#343).

<OOC> D says, "Yee haa. And the next bit of misery is set up."

You give the BBQed wench to AlMarth.

<OOC> Hugon won't be here long. He's heading out tonight.

<OOC> Koi awws.

<OOC> You say, "Tyson, your wench has been replenished."

<OOC> Koi gets ready to be a spoiler.

D picks up the barbequed wench.

<OOC> Oriana says, "Hey Eus, did you know D recently topped my list of Most

Hated Characters? (c;"

D eats some of her barbequed wench. Almost all of it remains.

Oriana eats some of her manch. About two-thirds of it remains.

<OOC> D says, "And I'm going to be doing things to ensure I stay there for a

good long time"

<OOC> Oriana says, "Eus, manch = male equivalent of a wench, FYI"

<OOC> AlMarth says, "how do I eat wench"

<OOC> D says, "Eat wench"

D eats some of her barbequed wench. Almost all of it remains.

AlMarth eats some of their BBQed wench. About three-quarters of it remains.

Oriana eats some of her pizza. About three-quarters of it remains.

Oriana eats some of her manch. More than half of it remains.

<OOC> You say, "I've created a monster."

<OOC> Koi laughs.

<OOC> Oriana says, "Mmmm...manch and pizza...the perfect dinner combination..."

<OOC> D says, "*G*"

<OOC> D says, "We out of town yet?"

AlMarth eats some of their BBQed wench. About three-quarters of it remains.

You say, "Yes."

D leads on to the ship

<OOC> Koi says, "We start down the road to the ship. ;)"

AlMarth eats some of their BBQed wench. About two-thirds of it remains.

You say, "You reach the ship without any incident other than the large number

of birds that seem intent upon crapping on your heads. Everytime one lets

loose, it always seems to be right over your heads."

<OOC> Oriana says, "Hey Al, type "@male" to set your gender so we're seeing

"he" instead of "they"..."

<OOC> Koi starts to friction curse the birds.

D says, "Princess, I'm truly dissapointed. When next we disembark, your

actions will be repays on the bodies of children."

Oriana says, "D, I honestly don't think she's doing it."

AlMarth says, "@male""

<OOC> AlMarth says, "oops without quotes, right"

<OOC> You say, "She isn't. An invisible friend is..."

D says, "She is. Who else would be doing it?"

<OOC> Oriana says, "No, not with quotes..."

<OOC> D says, "I know its the invisible friend."

<OOC> D says, "D doesn't."

Oriana says, "I don't know, but...doesn't it seem out of character for her?"

<OOC> AlMarth says, "it's not working"

D says, "You don't know much about the character of people do you? Deep down,

everyone is vile and petty."

Koi says, "Whatever it is won't be able to follow once we reach the boat."

D says, "Someone with forces, signal for the longboat."

<OOC> Koi says, "@gender me is male"

<OOC> Oriana says, "Weird...I have no suggestions for how to fix it..."

<OOC> D says, "Never mind that"

<OOC> Oriana says, "Oops, but Koi does..."

Oriana says, "Are you so sure about that?"

<OOC> Koi says, "Isn't the boat still on shore? :)"

<OOC> AlMarth says, "thanks"

You say, "Yes."

D says, "I'll keep an eye on the princess. Koi, could you ready the longboat?"

<OOC> D says, "I know, I know. Just forgot for a moment.."

<OOC> Koi chuckles.

Koi nods and motions to Orianan and Al. "Lets go."

You say, "How are you lowering the boat down the 10ft cliff?"

<OOC> Koi says, "Very carefully."

<OOC> AlMarth says, "a good kick should do it"

<OOC> Oriana says, "Guys, we bought rope...why not use it?"

<OOC> Koi says, "How sturdy does the boat look? And what's the shore right

next to it look like?"

You say, "It looks fairly sturdy, but the shore is filled with rocks."

<OOC> Koi says, "How much rope do we have?"

<OOC> Hugon grunts, looks at the time, and disappears into the digital

madness. Laters.

You say, "20' I thought."

<OOC> Oriana says, "Bye Eus, have fun at the movie! (c:"

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

<OOC> Koi waves to Hugon.

<Logout> Hugon has disconnected on Sat Jun 16 20:13:27 2001 EST

Hugon has disconnected.

AlMarth walks up to the cliff, and throws the riding crop out to sea

Koi turns on AlMarth. "Who told you to do that?

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

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

D says, "Don't even think about doing anything so rebellious again."

Oriana grins at Al'Marth

AlMarth says, "You did, don't you remember""

<OOC> D says, "Is it floating?"

AlMarth says, "You said, throw the whip-thingy out to sea""

Koi frowns and walks over, reaching up to backhand AlMarth across the chin.

<OOC> Eclipse grins. "It must be the scurvy."

You say, "No. It sinks."

D pages, "could I catch it in midair, with telepathy?"

Oriana attempts to grab D's wrist and stop her from hitting Al'Marth

<OOC> You say, "I'm sure Ahab will let you borrow his, though..."

<OOC> Koi says, "Err...I'm the one swinging. ;)"

AlMarth attempts to get his yarn/garrote around koi's neck

<OOC> Koi says, "Oh great."

D says, "Oriana, AlMarth, stop."

D has received your page: "Telepathy is NOT Telekinesis."

<OOC> Oriana says, "Oops, meant Koi"

D pages, "Err. I meant telekinesis, brain fart =P"

<OOC> Koi says, "Now the big question is...what happened...did I manage to hit

him? Did Oriana stop me? And where did that garrote come from? :)"

D has received your page: "What's your score?"

<OOC> Oriana says, "Tune in next week..."

<OOC> Koi says, "*bad music in the background*"

D pages, "1"

<OOC> AlMarth says, "I made the garrote out of the yarn"

D says, "It doesn't matter. You, AlMarth, just traded time with the crop for

time with Ahab's Cat o' nine tails."

<OOC> Koi pokes. "-I- know...Koi doesn't." :)

You say, "Koi, Oriana, and Al'Marth, let's see some dice or something for this

exchange. Init, first..."

Oriana rolled 5d10: 10, 1, 3, 5, 5; totalling 24.

<OOC> Oriana says, "Diff 4?"

<OOC> Koi errs. "What's init?"

<OOC> Koi -needs- a Mage book like it's his job.

<OOC> AlMarth says, "I can't remember what you roll for init"

<OOC> Oriana says, "Wits + Alertness"

<OOC> D says, "Errr... You better hope you don't hurt him AlMarth. Remember

you commit suicide if you draw the blood of a Ba'Lak?"

Koi rolled 5d10: 3, 6, 10, 10, 1; totalling 30.

AlMarth rolled 6d10: 6, 6, 2, 4, 10, 2; totalling 30.

<OOC> Koi says, "Bah...had to roll a one"

D has received your page: "Roll me a check, dif 6"

<OOC> Oriana says, "2 successes, I think...provided this is diff 4"

<OOC> You say, "Yes, dif 4"

D rolled 8d10: 7, 8, 3, 1, 5, 3, 8, 9; totalling 44.

<OOC> Koi says, "Dear god D."

<OOC> D says, "Hmm?"

<OOC> Koi says, "8d10? :)"

<OOC> D says, "That was for something else."

<OOC> AlMarth says, "4 successes"

You say, "D, you can get the crop."

D smiles and holds a hand. The crop turns a graceful arc and soars back to her

<OOC> You say, "Koi, because of...?"

<OOC> You say, "nm"

You say, "Al'Marth, declare."

<OOC> Koi says, "What sphere was that?"

<OOC> AlMarth says, "same as before, get the garrote around koi's neck"

D says, "AlMarth, drop the noose. Oriana, back off."

<OOC> You say, "Too late, D. They have one turn."

<OOC> Oriana says, "You took your action, Tyson..."

<OOC> D says, "Ah. Dang."

<OOC> D says, "Well. You can't kill him in one turn, and we have a healer on

hand."

You say, "Al, roll me a Dex + Melee, dif 6."

<OOC> Koi raises an eyebrow. "Kill me?" :)

You say, "Koi, if you want to dodge, you'll have to split your dice pool in

half."

AlMarth rolled 5d10: 4, 2, 5, 8, 9; totalling 28.

<OOC> AlMarth says, "2 succeses"

You say, "Um...roll Bashing 2?"

Koi rolled 7d10: 1, 8, 6, 2, 9, 10, 10; totalling 46.

<OOC> You say, "Sorry."

<OOC> Koi says, "doh"

<OOC> Koi says, "That was pointless. ;)"

<OOC> Koi says, "Split which dice? One's I would use for attacking?"

<OOC> AlMarth says, "I'm not trying to strangle him, just to get him into a

position where I could"

<OOC> You say, "Koi, that can't be half your dice pool. Take the lowest dice

pool you are using this turn, subtract 2, and divide it in half."

<OOC> Koi says, "It wasn't, it was a mistake. now...I lose those dice for

attacking right?"

<OOC> You say, "We'll resolve this as soon as Koi gets this sorted out."

<OOC> Koi hates learning a new combat system. :(

<OOC> You say, "Yes."

<OOC> Koi says, "Just out of curiosity, what does the dodge skill do?"

<OOC> You say, "The bald tanak is doing cat's cradle with Koi's neck. I never

thought I'd be able to say that..."

<OOC> D says, "Hmmm.. What edition do you have Eric? Because mine says it

would -2 to the first dice pool, -3 to the next and so on, without splitting

the pool in half?"

<OOC> You say, "Dodge + Dex, dif 6 to dodge."

<OOC> Oriana says, "Umm, that sounds really wrong Tyson..."

<OOC> D shrugs

<OOC> Koi smiles. "Okay, I use dodge + dex to dodge, but only get half my

attack dice if I counter right?

<OOC> Koi is sorry for the inconvience guys. :(

<OOC> Oriana says, "NP"

<OOC> Eclipse sighs as he tries to figure this out, too. "No, calculate your

dodge + Dex and your attack dice. Figure out which pool has fewer dice.

<OOC> Koi says, "Okay."

<OOC> You say, "Then, subtract 2 dice from that pool, and divide the the

remaining dice between your two actions."

<OOC> Koi says, "Oh...so if I had enough dice I could technically have like 10

dice to attack and only 2 for dodge?"

<OOC> You say, "Am I getting this right, Beth? This is the first time I've

had someone attempt multiple combat actions."

<OOC> You say, "No. You take the LOWEST of the two dice pools, and make the

calcualation based on that."

<OOC> Oriana says, "It sounds good to me, but this is something my players

rarely do, so I can't tell you...I usually just let them split their dice

pools without the subtraction, but it's your call."

<OOC> You say, "How many dice do you roll to attack normally?"

<OOC> Koi icks.

<OOC> D is looking at the rules in his mage book and doesn't see where it

says anything about splitting pools.

AlMarth eats some of his BBQed wench. More than half of it remains.

Oriana eats some of her pizza. About three-quarters of it remains.

<OOC> Koi shrugs. "Screw dodging then, let's just attack." :)

<OOC> You say, "You see how this gets nasty? It usually prevents people from

attempting multiple actions. "

<OOC> Koi says, "Well...it's annoying how it prevents you from dodging and

then countering with a punch..."

<OOC> You say, "Page 239, left column."

<OOC> D says, "You're getting this from Sorcerers crusade, yes?"

You say, "Okay, Al'Marth, you manage to get your yarn around Koi's neck. Koi,

attack."

<OOC> Koi says, "since he attacked am I limited to a back hand?"

Koi pages, "Or can I make a do attack?"

<OOC> You say, "M:tA, WW4600 on the spine."

You say, "You can make a normal attack. It's YARN."

<OOC> D says, "Same here. Where does it say splitting your dice pool? Because

all I get is -2 dice for the first action, -3 for the second, -4 for the

third and so on..."

<OOC> Koi says, "okay ;)"

<OOC> You say, "Page 239, left column, about a third of the way down."

Koi attempts to punch Al.

Koi rolled 7d10: 6, 6, 8, 10, 10, 6, 1; totalling 47.

<OOC> D says, "Ok, check the sidebar on 215. And even on 239, it says the same

thing"

<OOC> Eclipse sees what D is talking about.

<OOC> AlMarth says, "oh crap"

<OOC> AlMarth says, "what do I roll for soak?"

<OOC> You say, "Sorry. My mistake. If this combat is lethal, I'll summon the

Supreme Being itself to sort things out. <grin>"

<OOC> Koi grins.

<OOC> D says, "Stamina"

<OOC> Koi isn't going for aggro or anything.

AlMarth rolled 2d10: 1, 7; totalling 8.

<OOC> AlMarth says, "nada"

<OOC> Koi says, "What's the target for a soak?"

<OOC> D says, "6"

<OOC> You say, "5 health levels, Al."

<OOC> Koi says, "Oh...duh...he rolled a one."

<OOC> Koi says, "only 5? :)"

<OOC> You say, "Mages can't soak Lethal or Agg, though."

<OOC> Koi says, "Do does a 3 base. ;)"

<OOC> You say, "Then roll those dice, too, please."

<OOC> Koi says, "Huh?"

<OOC> You say, "WW damage for weapons is a number of dice, not a static

figure."

<OOC> D says, "Damage is=succ+3. Roll succ+3 to see how much damage you do"

<OOC> Koi says, "right"

<OOC> Koi says, "I got 5 successes. + 3 ?"

<OOC> D says, "You roll 8 dice, target 6."

<OOC> You say, "plus three more DICE, diff 6"

<OOC> Koi says, "gotcha"

Koi rolled 3d10: 5, 3, 7; totalling 15.

<OOC> Koi says, "Thankyou, that helps explain a bit."

<OOC> D says, "Doesn't he have to roll the succ again?"

<OOC> D says, "Like with firearms?"

<OOC> Eclipse was looking, but will take Tyson's word for it.

<OOC> D says, "Ok, so you roll to attack. If you succeed, you add your

successes to three, then roll them vs diff 6"

<OOC> D says, "Every success is a level of damage."

<OOC> Oriana's head is spinning...(c;

<OOC> Koi grins.

<OOC> D says, "And since AlMarth screwed his soak roll, you can possibly kill

him."

<OOC> D says, "It's easy enougn."

<OOC> AlMarth says, "ah crap"

<OOC> D says, "and how do we stand on multiple actions? Was I right, or do I

totally brain fart?"

<OOC> Koi says, "Okay...so...I got 5 successes, so I add 3 to that...and

that's damage?"

<OOC> D says, "No. Thats what you roll for damage."

<OOC> Oriana says, "Remember, he promised the supreme being would show up if

you get killed...tho I'm not sure that's a good thing..."

<OOC> D says, "You roll 8 dice. Every succ is a damage."

<OOC> Koi says, "And I'm not -trying- to kill him...incapacate yes...kill no."

<OOC> You say, "You can inflict Bashing, if you like."

<OOC> Koi says, "D. 5 + 3, as in the 5 successes I got plus 3 right?"

<OOC> D says, "Yes. Thats your damage dice."

<OOC> AlMarth says, "so koi now rolls 8d10?"

<OOC> You say, "Oriana is starting to get a feel for what kind of GM I am..."

<OOC> D says, "Yes, and every success he gets is one damage."

AlMarth eats some of his BBQed wench. Half of it remains.

<OOC> Koi can't spell worth a damn

<OOC> You say, "Someone is making chips and soda in the gn next door."

Oriana eats some of her pizza. About two-thirds of it remains.

<OOC> D says, "Like this: If I attacked Koi with do, got 5 success, and he

dodged getting 2 succ, I would deal 3+3 damage. So I would roll 6 dice, every

succ being a damage. Everyone clear?"

<OOC> AlMarth says, "I see"

AlMarth eats some of his BBQed wench. Half of it remains.

<OOC> D says, "Now, about multiple actions, am I right? Or did my int score

take a vacation that day?"

<OOC> Koi says, "I've got damage now, but about health levels. I thought you

didn't die at Incap."

<OOC> You say, "D was correct. -2, -3 for two actions; -3, -4, -5 for three

actions, etc..."

I don't understand that.

<OOC> Oriana says, "No, you just go unconscious...get one level below

incapacitated and you're dead."

<OOC> D says, "At 7, you just pass out. 8 damage is death. However, with

bashing, every level beyond 7 turns one level of bashing lethal."

<OOC> Koi says, "gotcha"

<OOC> Koi says, "I'd have to get luckey to kill"

<OOC> D says, "So right now, if you maxed out, he'd pass out, have 6 levels of

bashing, and 1 lethal."

<OOC> D says, "So, 14 bashing=death."

<OOC> D says, "15."

Shan has arrived.

<OOC> Koi turns this into bashing then if he can. ;)

<OOC> You say, "Go for it."

<OOC> D says, "wb Shan"

<OOC> Koi doesn't want to kill a player. :(

Koi rolled 8d10: 1, 7, 6, 9, 5, 6, 3, 3; totalling 40.

Shan throws a Mountain Dew at you.

D eats some of her barbequed wench. About three-quarters of it remains.

Oriana eats some of her manch. Half of it remains.

<OOC> Koi says, "Okay...I bonk Al for 3 points of bash damage."

AlMarth winces in pain

<OOC> Koi rolls on the floor laughing.

AlMarth looks up "I feel that suicide compulsion coming on, I'm gonna jump off

that cliff" he pulls koi towards the cliff

<OOC> D says, "Little note, with normal brawl it's strength damage, and

weapons do weapondam+str unless you've got some modification"

You say, "Okay, Oriana's turn."

<OOC> D says, "Just in case anyone didn't know."

Eclipse

A man dressed in a black cloak with the hood pulled up, almost concealing the

slight smile he constantly wears. A black medallion with a silver crescent at

the edge hangs from his neck. Malakai's anthropomorphic representation of

divine chaos, it seems somehow fitting that Eclipse should be your

Storyteller.

He is carrying a barbequed wench, a Mountain Dew, and a Doritos.

You aren't wielding anything, armed only with your fists.

I don't understand that ("md" is an ambiguous name).

D says, "... Fine. One of you, if you're able, magic the GODDAMN BOAT DOWN THE

FUCKING CLIFF! I don't care, just as long as it seaworthy when it arrives."

Shan pages, "Ok and who are the two leader people."

D says, "Fine. Use the rope. Whatever."

AlMarth says, "I can move the boat"

You say, "'You seem to be under a bit of stress, D. Perhaps you should try to

lead by serving, instead of by enslaving.'"

Oriana says, "Then let Al'Marth do it."

D says, "Did I ask you? You can just keep your damn mouth shut."

Koi looks at Oriana. "Cut the rope in half, and tie an end to each end of the

boat."

next time."

<OOC> You say, "Three basic ways I could see you getting Iph: 1. Feign

Injury/Illness 2. Charge in an effort to surprise the Epagans or 3. Convince

her to come of her own free will. In a way, you surprised me by trying all

three."

You say, "Okay, you manage to get into the boat and board the ship. The

seagulls continue shitting on your heads, except Iphigenia, who seems immune."

<OOC> Koi says, "Heh...can I make wind to throw the birds off? :)"

You say, "Shan, the rest of the cabal has returned."

D says, "Koi, take her down below please, I'll get the ship moving. One of us

should watch her at all times. As for you two, in my quarters, and wait.

Quietly, not touching anything, not causing any trouble."

D roars "AHAB! C'mere, now!"

<OOC> You say, "What Spheres would you use to do that, Koi? You can certainly

try."

Oriana goes to D's quarters and motions for Al'Marth to follow

AlMarth goes with her

<OOC> Koi says, "Forces, alter the force wind."

<OOC> Koi says, "err...of wind"

Oriana [to AlMarth]: We have to do something about this...the trouble is, I

You say, "As soon as Iph is off the deck, Koi, the birds stop dropping their

cargo on you."

D says, "I knew it.."

<OOC> Koi says, "No -oriana ;)"

<OOC> Oriana says, "Well, replace name with the person's name..."

<OOC> AlMarth says, "oops"

<OOC> Koi says, "Is okay...moo takes some getting used to."

Oriana [to AlMarth]: Yes you can...you have to. That woman's life...and our

lives...depend upon keeping them from delivering her to Variel.

You say, "Ahab jumps out of the crow's nest above you, nearly breaking his

neck in the fall. He tries to kneel weakly in spite of his broken legs,

fawning over your every word."

D says, ".... KOI! GET IPHIGENIA UP HERE!"

AlMarth [to Oriana]: What exactly will Varial do if he gets her?

<OOC> Oriana says, "This game just gets weirder and weirder..."

<OOC> You say, "No, Ahab just gets weirder and weirder..."

Koi shows Iph her room and tells her quietly. "It'd be best if you didn't

cause any trouble. D has a tendency to be overzelous in her punishment."

Oriana [to AlMarth]: I don't know...but it won't be good.

Koi glances up at D's call. "Now what....?"

D says, "Ahab. I'm pleased by your display of obediance. Just be calm for a

moment, until we fix your legs."

Oriana [to AlMarth]: I need to get into that room and talk to her.

You say, "'Yes Ma'am!' he shouts. You can't tell whether he is crying with

pain or joy."

<OOC> D says, "Ahab is upsetting."

<OOC> Oriana has a horrible feeling that her nightmares will be featuring Ahab

from now on...(c;

<OOC> You say, "I consider my job well done if I give my players nightmares

about my game."

Koi sighs and looks at Iphigenia. "Let's go...she must need your skills."

AlMarth [to Oriana]: Would it be alright I speak in questions?

Oriana [to AlMarth]: Do whatever it takes to speak frankly, Al'Marth.

You say, "Iphigenia comes with speed to aid your fallen captain.""

You say, "She sings softly, her voice gentle and beautiful, and then lays her

hands on Ahab's legs."

<OOC> D says, "What port did we set out from?"

D watches impatiently

You say, "You can hear the sounds of bone grinding against bone, and then the

legs knit until only some bruising remains."

D says, "Good. Now to business."

Koi watches impassivly.

D says, "Ahab, stand."

You say, "She repeats the procedure, restoring Ahab to full health."

AlMarth [to Oriana]: Will it be a long journey? Would there be some time when

you could speak with her alone?

<OOC> You say, "Landsend, of course. <grin>"

Koi turns and starts to lead Iphigenia back down below decks.

Oriana [to AlMarth]: We'll have time, but I doubt I'll be able to see her

alone. D and Koi are quite determined to guard her at all times.

<OOC> You say, "The return voyage should last 8 days."

Oriana [to AlMarth]: If this damned mind control spell let me, I would grab

her and run as soon as we reached land. As it is, I plan to make as much

noise as possible and try to alert a third party to our plight. Perhaps they

will intervene and save us.

(remotely) Shan belches, Not bad dinner. I'm back for now

AlMarth [to Oriana]: "Would you or I be able to use magic for the pupose of

speaking to her?"

D says, "Ahab, your fervor is commendable. However, I desire that you try to

avoid harming yourself thusly again. I want you to make all due speed to

Landsend. Don't push the sailor's to hard, don't take risks. I don't my life,

or the others endangered. And try to avoid drawing notice to us, please?"

Shan has received your page: "You have all the info about the current

situation you need to rp?"

Oriana [to AlMarth]: Yes...I don't believe D or Koi told us not to.

Oriana [to AlMarth]: Perhaps you could create a distraction long enough for me

to speak to her?

Shan pages, "I'm not quite sure, I think I remember the whole obey everything.

I know D is one of the bal'shak people"

AlMarth nods

D says, "And, Captain Ahab, would you happen to have such a thing as a Cat o'

Nine Tails?"

Oriana [to AlMarth]: When shall we attempt this?

You say, "'Yes, Ma'am!' he screams, weeping with joy. 'I would gladly sail

the Storm Crew through the Fae Realms at your slightest whim, ma'am!'"

D says, "But I don't want to sail through the fae realms, I want to get to

Landsend in one piece."

Oriana [to AlMarth]: Meanwhile, I will attempt to contact her mind...perhaps

that would be the path of least resistance.

AlMarth looks for a lantern or torch

Oriana eats some of her pizza. Half of it remains.

You say, "About the cat o' nine tails, he says, 'It pains my soul to say no,

Ma'am! I will gladly die if your justice demands, it' She pulls out a

dagger and presses it against his throat. 'Only say the word, Ma'am!'"

Oriana drinks some of her Mountain Dew. About two-thirds of it remains.

Koi leads Iph back below decks?

You say, "Koi, I hear you. Iph is now below decks."

D says, "No, I don't want you to die. I don't want to punish you. In fact,

Hemlock is aware of your actions, and he is pleased."

<OOC> Oriana is cracking up at D's dealings with the crazy man...

D says, "Do not kill yourself. Get this ship under way captain. I've got a cat

to skin."

<OOC> Koi says, "Dang it...where's the first mate? :)"

D heads below decks

<OOC> Koi gotcha.

<OOC> AlMarth says, "Is there a lantern or torch"

You say, "Ahab dives to the deck to protrate himself at the sound of Hemlock's

name."

Eclipse rolled 1d10: 8; totalling 8.

You say, "He doesn't slit his throat in the process..."

<OOC> Oriana says, "LOL!"

D says, "Put the dagger away Captain..."

<OOC> AlMarth says, "rofl"

Koi plops her back in her room and repeats his request for her not to cause

trouble.

D heads to her room

Shan flops down on the lumpy sofa.

You say, "'I will sheath it in my breast, if it pleases you, Ma'am!' he says,

and clearly means it."

You say, "He puts away the dagger, though."

D says, "NO! I don't want you to kill yourself. Hemlock doesn't want you to

kill yourself."

<OOC> AlMarth says, "do I get a torch or a lantern or some other burning

object?"

D hurries to her room before the captain can raise more problems

You say, "Ahab runs to the side of the ship and grabs his whip from the

railing, beating the crew into action."

<OOC> D says, "Gah!"

<OOC> Oriana says, "Serves you right..."

D screams "And don't beat the crew to death!"

<OOC> You say, "Static characters are fun, aren't they?"

<OOC> D says, "Am I in my room yet?"

<OOC> AlMarth says, "I sort of need it before D gets back"

You say, "'Of course not, Ma'am! I'd sooner beat myself to death!'"

<OOC> You say, "You are now, D."

D says, "AND DON'T BEAT YOURSELF TO DEATH EITHER!"

<OOC> Oriana says, "No, on your way to your room you fall into the EEVIL Zone,

where awful nasty spiteful characters go. Oh wait...I was dreaming again.

<OOC> AlMarth says, "Crap"

<OOC> You say, "Pause!"

<OOC> D says, "Eh?"

<OOC> AlMarth pauses

<OOC> Koi freezes.

<OOC> You say, "Sorry, Al. You find a lantern just as D begins to descend the

stairs leading to the room."

You say, "You have roughly 30 seconds to act."

<OOC> D says, "Don't do it man, lighting a fire could kill us all"

<OOC> Oriana says, "DO IT"

<OOC> You say, "Only in a game this angsty would anyone say that..."

<OOC> AlMarth says, "Is there some way I could get to the deck without passing

D?"

<OOC> You say, "No."

<OOC> D says, "I told you to stay there.."

<OOC> Oriana says, "You wanted the angst, you got the angst!"

<OOC> Koi says, "doo it!"

AlMarth Throws the lantern out of the room, crashing it against the wall and

starting a fire.

<OOC> Oriana gives that a standing ovation

<OOC> D says, "You're going to pay for that one."

AlMarth [to Oriana]: "NOW!"

<OOC> Oriana says, "You mean go for Iphigenia?"

<OOC> Koi hrms.

<OOC> D says, "Do I hear the crash?"

AlMarth stands in the doorway, hopefully blocking d from coming in while

cabin"

Oriana pages, "2 successes"

You say, "D, you jump nimbly out of the way."

D says, "AlMarth! Oriana! Get out here and help me put this out!"

D whips off her cloak and begins beating the fire out

Oriana has received your page: "You've got it."

Oriana pages, "Can I simultaneously follow D's order and talk to Iph?"

AlMarth looks confused and mimics d's voice "Stay in the Cabin"

Shan has received your page: "You paying attention to all this? You are on

the deck. Do what you wish."

D says, "Both of you, out here now, and stop stalling AlMarth!"

Oriana has received your page: "Yes, but not for very long (not enough

successes to spend on duration)."

<OOC> Koi giggles like mad.

AlMarth says, "what about the fire in my way?"

Shan pages, "Actually just give me another second, I'm looking up my stats and

skills again."

<OOC> D says, "You know, I can't wait for normal sticky, instead of 6 people

in the last hotel bed sticky."

Shan pages, "I think I'll show after the fire....etc come out of cabin."

the flames

<OOC> Shan chuckles

You say, "Anyone who is still on deck notices that two ships are rapidly

overtaking the Storm Crow. Ahab's whip is cracking in a desperate effort to

speed you up."

D says, "Stop feeding the fire! Both of you, help put it out."

Oriana pages, "Iphigenia...Al'Marth and I want to stop the others from

delivering you to Variel. Unfortunately we are unable to do as much as we

would like. I can't maintain this link for long...can you contact my mind

later so we can discuss this?"

Oriana goes out into the hall and begins stomping on some of the smallest

flames

Shan pages, "Brian has a question about the car. Ok the temperature gauge

Oriana has received your page: "You've lost contact."

D says, "Help put out the fire with your magic!"

Koi rips open the door to Iph's room and gestures toward her. "Come, -now-!

Oriana shouts, "And just how do you expect me to do that?!"

You say, "The fire is beginning to subside, though everyone below decks is

choking on the thick smoke of burning wood in an enclosed space."

D continues putting the fire out

AlMarth stops urinating "I'm out"

<OOC> Oriana says, "ROFL!"

D says, "Take off your cloak, and help beat it out then."

Oriana says, "The last time I checked, I wasn't wearing one!"

You say, "Iphigenia obeys mutely, seemingly immune to the choking smoke."

AlMarth takes his robe off and throws it into the fire "oops"

<OOC> Oriana says, "So I'm now standing next to a shaved naked Tanak?

Ewwwwww."

Koi grabs her and drags her down the corridor toward the fire, stopping a

little ways away from it.

D continues beating "You two are going to suffer soooo much for this.."

<OOC> Koi says, "Hmm....I can put it out with magic right, I would assume

being able to effect forces would work both ways? :)"

I don't understand that.

<OOC> D says, "Dissipating the heat perhaps?"

<OOC> Koi nods. "I'll channel it into D." :)

Oriana says, "Do what you will, D. You can't break my spirit."

D says, "Everyone can be broken.."

You say, "The crew begins to load the catapults. The ships behind you are

catching up rapidly. One is a small cargo ship, the other looks like a

D says, "Hemlock take it all the bottomless pits of Hell. Koi, keep trying to

put it out. Oriana, AlMarth, go into the cabin. Do not talk to each other, do

not try to disrupt the mission, don't try to contact anyone. Just sit.

Quietly. Do nothing else. Iphigenia, when the fires out, come up top."

D says, ""

You say, "She sneers at you, 'I came without a fuss. I never claimed not to

D says, "I didn't mean you."

Oriana reluctantly turns around

<OOC> Koi laughs.

D says, "Now that the pesky angel is out of the way, we can continue. Back to

the table AlMarth."

D picks up the crop

AlMarth bends over and Prays for Mercy

Rahab peeks around the door.

D shuts the door, and begins

Oriana pages, "Is it at ALL possible for me to resist this? I don't care what

the consequence might be to Oriana."

then have Iphigenia heal them"

<OOC> D says, "It's what I wanted to do in the first place, so kinky

tanak/halfling sex can wait for another time"

Oriana has received your page: "You can, if you choose. But there is the

danger of disobeying a direct order."

<OOC> AlMarth says, "Ouch"

have to draw the line somewhere."

<OOC> Oriana says, "I think that rule already got broken last session"

<OOC> D says, "Hey, whats wrong with consensual creepy sex?"

<OOC> AlMarth says, "It's...Creepy"

D whips both AlMarth, and Oriana to a bloody pulp then calls Iphigenia back in.

Koi tries to stop D around damage level Mauled for Al, and Injured for Oriana.

;)

D says, "I'm not going to kill them, just teach them a lesson."

You say, "She, of course heals them, but it takes her hours to complete her

song."

Koi says, ""

D says, "Now, have you both learned your lesson?"

<OOC> Koi says, "doh!"

Koi [to D]: It'd be better to have them in good condition.

Oriana meets D's eyes. "Someday you *will* pay for this."

<OOC> Koi says, "Hang on...let's see if I can keep her from -really- mauling

them. ;)"

D stares back "Nothing you could do to me would be near what I've already live

through at the hands of my parents and siblings."

Oriana has received your page: "You effectively have 4 dice of Armor (non-Agg)

for the remainder of the day."

AlMarth has received your page: "You effectively have 4 dice of Armor

D spends the night preaching the glories of Hemlock to her.

Rahab spends a good deal of time hiding from everyone now. IF anyone checks

in on her, she's not there.

You say, "She ignores you, praying softly under her breath."

<OOC> D says, "Hey Eric, could I have a thick slice of the lag floating around

here, to top off the wench?"

<OOC> D says, "lag=wench"

<OOC> D says, "wench=angst"

<OOC> D says, "Mental faculties.. shutting... doooownnnnnn."

<OOC> Oriana says, "That is possibly the best description of tonight there

could possibly be..."

<OOC> Rahab doesn't know where a good hiding place would be here.

Koi arrives at the cabin. "What happened D?"

<OOC> Shan says, "I am, but I'm still invisible."

D says, "She vanished. Just popped into the spirit world I would guess."

D sits on the bed and puts her head in her hands "This is horrible. My first

mission as a full Ba'Lak, and I messed it up"

<OOC> You say, "Not after several hours, Shan. You'd need to spend a lot of

successes on duration..."

D sounds like she might be crying.

You say, "There is a sound from above like a song, except full of discord and

hate."

Oriana painfully gets up, leaves her cabin, and heads toward the commotion

Koi frowns at D. "We need to search the ship...perhapes she just moved to

another part of it.

D looks up "You're right!"

AlMarth is sound asleep in his bunk

D flips to her feet and hurries out

D starts to the top deck

Koi follows D.

<OOC> Oriana says, "Do I see where they're going?"

AlMarth drinks some of his Mountain Dew. Almost all of it remains.

You say, "There is a tall, ghostly image dressed in a cloak standing on the

deck, singing its song of doom. Iphigenia is nearby, eyes wide in horror as

ropes begin to snap and the sail tears along its center."

D says, "There you are!"

D looks to Koi "Thats a demon, isn't it?

Oriana moves next to Iphigenia. "What is that thing?"

Shan says, "Oh Bugger"

Koi [to D]: I don't know...but it's destroying our sail.

D says, "You people need to learn to leave my damn pants alone!"

Koi starts stalking toward the Banshee, saying quietly. "Leave our ship now

and you can leave in peace."

You say, "The Banshee does not respond, simply singing its terrifying song of

inescapable death."

D says, "Anyone of you know what it is?"

D walks over to Iphigenia and smacks her on the back of the head "Do

something, you twit!"

You say, "'It's a Banshee!' Iphigenia stammers. 'By all that is holy, I meant

to call a Lantern!'"

AlMarth runs over to one of the catapults and tries to figure out how it works

Oriana glares at D. "Stop that now!"

D says, "This is all your fault? And leave that catapult alone!"

D says, "Can you get rid of it?"

You say, "Al, it requires more than a crew of one person to operate."

<OOC> AlMarth says, "damn"

You say, "'I...I can't get rid of it. Maybe I could summon another spirit to

drive it away, though...'"

D says, "Lets keep that as a last resort.."

Oriana says, "Well, do you have a better idea?"

D looks at the banshee "In Hemlocks name, I request that you stop that and go

away!"

Koi stays on his path toward the banshee, saying with a final tone. "This is

your last chance."
