AlMarth has received your page: ""He, AlMarth."

From the Nexus: bing

AlMarth has received your page: "Hey, even."

<OOC> You drink some of your Mountain Dew. All of it remains.

A male voice from the Nexus says, "hello"

You say, "Getting yourself a BBQed wench, I presume?"

AlMarth has arrived.

You say, "Getting yourself a BBQed wench, I presume?"

AlMarth sits down on the lumpy sofa.

AlMarth says, "of course"

AlMarth says, "what's the fun in gaming if I can't munch on wench"

Eclipse drinks Mountain Dew on an empty stomach and playing music at an

obscene volume while waiting for my pizza to cook.

You say, "That sounds really wrong, Al'Marth..."

AlMarth says, "your point?"

AlMarth wishes his computer had better speakers with which to listen to music

at an obcene volume

You say, "So I guess you're into that southern country cooking, right?"

AlMarth says, "If you're talking about the southern countries of malakai,

well, I don't see how anyone could have an appetite There, what with all the

gore"

You say, "Surround sound. Bass and four dainty little speakers that make big

noise. Not as loud as the stereo downstairs, though. So far today, they've

listened to R&B, classic rock, and polkas. They have some of the strangest

musical tastes..."

You say, "You can interpret it that way if you like. It's safer, actually..."

You say, "The southern countries have halflings anyway..."

AlMarth says, "once again, there is no sound coming out of my speakers for no

apparent reason"

<OOC> Oriana says, "Yo yo yo Hugon. Is your head feeling better? I see it

exploded last night..."

<OOC> Hugon says, "Yep. Customized it when it healed too...looks a bit better

now."

You say, "Hello people."

You say, "There was some serious weirdness last night. I killed the entire

cabal."

<OOC> Oriana says, "Hi Eric. *reads last night's quotes* Hey, what did the

Sticky Cabal do to deserve all that? Oh wait...they joined your game. *G*"

<OOC> Hugon wonders if he can spend that XP on Lore: Airport now...

Eclipse [to Oriana]: Exactly. Spahk was fun. I got a bit carried away at

times, though.

<OOC> Oriana says, "A LITTLE carried away?! All of their HEADS exploded!"

Eclipse [to Hugon]: Technically, yes. It'll be about as useful as Babylonean

Priesthood Lore anywhere else, but...

<OOC> Hugon says, "We don't have constant angst, but when we do get it, we get

a lot of it..."

<OOC> AlMarth says, "brb, I need to restart my computer, darn integrated

Soundcard"

<OOC> Oriana giggles. Babylonian Priesthood Lore...

<OOC> Hugon says, "Hmm, I wonder...since my character understood and

experienced everything, couldn't he have infinate XP? *snicker wishful

thinking*"

<OOC> Oriana says, "Do you want your head to explode *again,* Eus?"

Eclipse [to Hugon]: *default GM response*

<OOC> Hugon says, "Hey, had to at least make the good old PC effort and try."

<OOC> Hugon says, "(Besides, seeing as our group will probably end either in

or just getting out of the Airport, that XP loss doesn't hurt too much)."

You say, "I don't know if it really counted as angst. It was basically

loony_ism gone horribly wrong. The loonies got angst and the sober gamers

got loonyness. Had to make it a challenge for both groups..."

6 inches from her head...

Eclipse [to Hugon]: But it's player angst, not character angst. Of course,

really good character angst CREATES player angst, right Beth?

<OOC> Hugon says, "Well, the angst of having your head blown to bits and

knowing, at least for a few moments, everything, and then losing it, that

creates plenty of character angst."

<OOC> AlMarth says, "hahaha, MTV is one of the reasons that I feel superior

about being canadian"

<OOC> Oriana is ignoring that...*G*

<OOC> AlMarth puts on some music that none of you has ever hear of

<OOC> AlMarth says, "heard, even"

<OOC> Oriana says, "Oh really? Try me..."

Eclipse is listening to music no one seems to have heard of except from me.

Taetia says, "And now to think of how I'm going to talk you all into not

killing me.."

<OOC> Oriana would be listening to music if it weren't for the aforementioned

presence of MTV...

<OOC> AlMarth says, "Ain't Goin' to Goa, by A3"

<OOC> Oriana says, "Oh. You're right, haven't heard of it..."

Rahab chuckles.

<OOC> Taetia begins playing his ludicrously large collection of pirated

<OOC> AlMarth says, "Next I think I'll listen to some Proffesor Longhair (Yay

<OOC> Taetia says, "Mmmm.. Gothic pagan folk rock."

<OOC> Hugon doesn't have any obscure music...he doesn't have very many CD's

<OOC> AlMarth has lots of those too

You say, "I'm listening to narrative Power Metal based on the Simarillon.

Eclipse [to Rahab]: You can listen to a few of their songs by looking them up

<OOC> Taetia says, "I met her at the E.O.D, she sank her dew claws into me, we

stepped out to watch the tide come in, She said "A little swim would do some

wonders for your skin", shed my old self and stepped into the sea."

<OOC> Taetia says, "One glance was all it took, she gave me the Innsmouth look"

Rahab might do that when she gets tired of Robin Williams.

Eclipse [to Rahab]: Though I know I've played them at a few of our gaming

<OOC> Oriana yays for DotHT...

<OOC> AlMarth says, "The British singers in A3 do a good job of faking

American accents"

<OOC> Hugon goes into lurker mode while he goes to work on other various

projects he has sitting on his computer, ranging from a few speeches to

campaign items that need to be worked on (improving the sewer system, for

example).

<OOC> Taetia says, "By improving, do you mean making it less of a death trap?"

<OOC> Hugon says, "Improving it from the ST's view..."

<OOC> AlMarth says, "I think he means making it MORE of a death trap"

<OOC> Hugon says, "That and seeing how to work a new character into the group."

Logfile from OGR

eclips9 puts on his dragon medallion.

Taetia leads the others that one island with the church

Eustacio leaves Tabletop Room 3.

Eustacio has left.

You say "When last we left the Cabal of Destruction, they had just rescued a group of halflings with flying pews only seconds before a landworm devoured the island."

Database checkpoint in progress _ stand by...

Database checkpoint complete.

Eustacio arrives from the Gaming Area.

Eustacio has arrived.

Taetia says "Theres an island near here. We should go there, before a passing breeze capsizes those pews."

Oriana says "Good idea."

Taetia proceeds to the island

<*> OOCly, eclips9 thinks it's dangerous to use ship terminology to describe ANYTHING the Cabal of Destruction uses for transportaion...

<*> OOCly, Oriana giggles

Taetia says "You know, halfling, that illusion was more than a bit cruel."

Oriana says "What illusion?"

<*> OOCly, Al'Marth says, "We've got to find a mode of transportation that isn't damaged by passing breezes. Then Again Passing breezes DO seem to capsize our ships"

Taetia sneers "The one of Hemlock, of course.."

<*> OOCly, Taetia says, "Really? I thought it was Energy Blasts that sank our ships."

You say "Taetia's island is not unlike the others you've seen, though the Church of Dawn is devoid of dead people and almost clean, especially compared to some of the other churches you've been in lately..."

Oriana says "What? Why in the name of all the gods would I do something like that?"

<*> OOCly, Al'Marth says, "ANYTHING that can sink our ships, foes"

<*> OOCly, Al'Marth says, "does, even"

Taetia lands

Taetia says "I don't know. But that sadistic bit of amusement hurt me deeply."

Al'Marth looks around

Oriana says "Taetia, I didn't do it. Believe me."

Taetia rolls her eyes "I'm sure."

Al'Marth rolls 5d10 and gets: 10/7/8/9/6 Total: 40

Oriana says "I'm not going to argue with you about this. Believe what you like. Besides, right now we have to figure out how to get these people to safety."

<*> OOCly, Al'Marth says, "good, I manage to avoid lying and saying I did it"

<*> OOCly, Oriana says, "That would suck..."

<*> OOCly, eclips9 breaks out another cantaloupe...

<*> OOCly, Al'Marth says, "My Looney_sense is tingling: an opportunity to create havoc and insanity"

Taetia says "Varient and his demon army have moved on. These islands are likely as safe as it gets this side of the sun realm."

Oriana pages: Out of curiosity, what game effect does 7 Purity have? (c:

Al'Marth says "Do you mean Variel?"

<*> OOCly, Eustacio smiles happily and goes to try something.

Eustacio leaves Tabletop Room 3.

Eustacio has left.

Eustacio has arrived.

Taetia says "Whatever."

Taetia says "I don't really care anymore."

<*> OOCly, Oriana says, "Are there any supplies left in the town here? At least enough to sustain life for the halflings?"

You paged Oriana with 'message "Well, it reduces all Backlashes by 2 points. It also makes it more likely that gods will rescue you in an emergency or help you in some way."'.

Oriana pages: Hmm...*ponders*

<*> OOCly, Al'Marth says, "I miss my eggbeater :_("

You say "Oriana _ They could eat the tropical fruit on the trees if they were tall enough to reach the branches..."

Oriana finds a random halfling and asks him/her where his/her home is...

<*> OOCly, Al'Marth says, "Let's hope we don't have the same effect on ladders as boats"

Taetia says "So now what'll you do?"

Huh? (Type "help" for help.)

Oriana says "That depends on where these halflings came from."

You say "The halflings used to live on the island the landworm ate."

<*> OOCly, eclips9 ponders whether a small island is an entire meal or only one bite for a landworm...

Oriana asks the halflings, "Will you be able to start over again on this island?"

<*> OOCly, Al'Marth says, "So we've flooded one island, destroyed anoyher...I'm sensing a pattern similar to the boats"

<*> OOCly, Taetia says, "Hey. The second island wasn't our fault."

You say "They seem willing to try, though the horror of the last few months weighs heavily on them."

Oriana says "What happened during the last few months?"

<*> OOCly, eclips9 says, "Yeah, and neither was the second boat, right?"

<*> OOCly, Taetia says, "Quite."

<*> OOCly, Taetia says, "But the second boat was different"

<*> OOCly, Al'Marth says, "If we weren't there, Hemlock wouldn't have destroyed it with the Landworm"

<*> OOCly, Al'Marth says, "It's more indirect, but still our fault in a way"

Eustacio mutters to Oriana, "This... such an angsty..."

<*> OOCly, Taetia says, "Ok then. 200 people. 4 boats. 2 islands. 1 cloud. Happy?"

Taetia waits a bit impatiently

<*> OOCly, eclips9 says, "Not yet... I WILL NOT BE SATISFIED UNTIL YOU PARTICIPATE IN THE DESTRUCTION OF AT LEAST TWO MORE ISLANDS!!!"

<*> OOCly, Eustacio cowers behind Freak Legion.

<*> OOCly, Taetia says, "Yeehaa!"

<*> OOCly, Oriana giggles

<*> OOCly, Al'Marth starts digging

<*> OOCly, Al'Marth says, "I'm sure it'll upset some fault line"

Taetia says "Well?"

You say "Halfling, 'The march of the daemons on the Crystal Islands, of course, and the sacrifice of the inhabitants.'"

<*> OOCly, Oriana says, "Oh duh..."

Eustacio pages: If you want to create NPCs, type @create name Just make sure to drop them before using them.

Oriana asks the halflings, "Is there any way we can help you before we continue on our way?"

<*> OOCly, eclips9 says, "Maybe you could make the Landworm your pet so it will follow you around, eating every island you find."

<*> OOCly, Taetia says, "Can we do that?"

<*> OOCly, Oriana laughs

<*> OOCly, Taetia says, "Would Oriana's mind magic be able to work it?"

Eustacio pages: To make them do stuff, it's @force name =say (or :> blah blah.

<*> OOCly, Oriana says, "I refuse to participate in the intentional destruction of any more islands. My purity score is much too high for that. *G*"

<*> OOCly, Al'Marth says, "that's what doing it'll fix"

<*> OOCly, eclips9 says, "Now that's what I call total war tactics. Not only do they burn the crops to keep them from falling into enemy hands, they destroy the entire land mass..."

Eustacio dropped Landworm.

Landworm has left.

<*> OOCly, Oriana ohdears...

Cloud Dragon created as object #3526

Dropped.

<*> OOCly, Taetia says, "Landworms eh Eus? Are they as unpleasent as diahrea?"

<*> OOCly, eclips9 grins.

Cloud Dragon has left.

Eustacio has left.

Eustacio arrives from the Gaming Area.

Taetia dropped Cloud Dragon.

Eustacio dropped Beth Kinderman.

Cloud Dragon has left.

Beth Kinderman has left.

I don't see that here.

<*> OOCly, Al'Marth says, "Huh?"

<*> OOCly, Al'Marth says, "that was truly odd"

<*> OOCly, Oriana says, "Stop it! You bitch, you cloned me!"

<*> OOCly, eclips9 says, "Now that we've all gotten THAT out of our systems..."

Taetia begins tapping her foot

<*> OOCly, Taetia says, "Can I have a Beth clone? I'll give you 5 bucks."

<*> OOCly, Oriana says, "Yeah. Let's get started again..."

<*> OOCly, Eustacio takes off. He has far too great of power here at the moment.

Eustacio has disconnected.

<*> OOCly, Oriana says, "Now that that's over..."

You say "Halfling, 'We'll be fine as long as none of the dark gods' minions come here, we should be fine. There are no more good mages in the Southlands. They were all converted by the dark gods or converted.'"

Al'Marth dropped Cloud Dragon.

Cloud Dragon has left.

Taetia cuddles the Cloud Dragon

<*> OOCly, Al'Marth says, "They were all converted by the dark gods or converted?"

Taetia says "Well yippy hoo ray."

Oriana looks at the others. "Then we should be going again."

You say "Oops, I mean converted or slain..."

<*> OOCly, Al'Marth says, "yeah before the island ceases to exist"

<*> OOCly, eclips9 officially has only 3 more cases of 24 cans of Mountain Dew...

<*> OOCly, Taetia says, "Poor us.."

<*> OOCly, Oriana thinks that's a Bad Thing <tm>

<*> OOCly, Al'Marth has no Mountain Dew

You say "Going where?"

<*> OOCly, Al'Marth does have half a pitcher full of lemonade. Yum

<*> OOCly, Oriana says, "That's a good question. Do we keep going north, guys?"

<*> OOCly, eclips9 pats Al'Marth on the shoulder. "It's okay. There's still coffee and Jolt..."

<*> OOCly, Taetia says, "Yes?"

You say "It starts to rain as another dragon_shaped cloud hovers in the sky above you."

<*> OOCly, Al'Marth says, "If I say brb and mysteriously leave, I've gone to the convenience store to buy Jolt"

<*> OOCly, Oriana says, "North then?"

<*> OOCly, Taetia says, "I suppose."

Al'Marth nods

Oriana asks Koi to extend the flying thing to Ben as well...

Al'Marth regales Ben with tales of his (made up)exploits

Taetia says "Who's that, and why're we taking him along?"

You publicly roll 4d10 and get: 8/8/2/5 Total: 23

Al'Marth says "he's our captive"

You publicly roll 1d10 and get: 3 Total: 3

Oriana says "Taetia, this is Ben, my husband. Having said that, it should be obvious why we're taking him along."

You publicly roll 4d10 and get: 4/9/9/8 Total: 30

You publicly roll 1d10 and get: 1 Total: 1

You say "Koi extends the spell to Ben."

Taetia says "Wasn't he dead?"

Oriana says "Well, yes..."

You say "The dragon cloud follows you, raining the whole way. You eventually reach another island, though this one looks like it has never been inhabited. The sun is scorching hot, now."

Taetia says "I see."

Ben created as object #3527

Dropped.

Ben has left.

Tabletop Room 3(#1902RAJLMhs$)

A small candle flickers at the high table where the Storyteller sits, his face barely illuminated by the candle. Piles of books have been placed on the far right of the high table, and a large, green binder sits in front of the Storyteller. Two large, lumpy blue sofas sit on each side of a long table, where the players assume the roles of their characters in the World of Darkness. Various dice, character sheets, and empty pizza boxes are scattered about the table. Aside from the candle on the Storyteller's desk, there are four candles spaced evenly down the middle of the table, providing some light to the players. On the walls are various drawings of characters portrayed in the chronicle.

I don't see that here.

Al'Marth dropped Ben.

I don't see that here.

Ben has left.

Eustacio leaves Tabletop Room 3.

Eustacio has left.

Al'Marth dropped Ben.

<*> OOCly, eclips9 says, "All I wanted was to be able to @spoof a few of the NPCs..."

<*> OOCly, Oriana says, "Make them stop playing keep_away with my husband. *whimper*"

Ben has left.

You say "Oriana, 'You can still see one or two to the north, though you don't know what lies beyond the horizon."

<*> OOCly, Al'Marth says, "It's just me actually"

<*> OOCly, Oriana pokes Al'Marth

<*> OOCly, Al'Marth says, "How do I throw him"

I don't see what you want to lock!

<*> OOCly, Oriana looks at Eus. "Don't tell him anything!"

I don't see ben here.

I don't understand that key.

<*> OOCly, Oriana says, "Assuming she's still a giant floating hourglass, that is..."

<*> OOCly, Al'Marth starts abusing ben with his eggbeater

<*> OOCly, Taetia says, "Sodomite!"

<*> OOCly, Al'Marth says, "fine, take him"

<*> OOCly, Oriana eeewwws!

Al'Marth dropped Ben.

You say "Well, according to Taetia, it is nearly nightfall, but the sun is still hours from the western horizon."

Locked.

Taetia says "We're near the sun realms."

<*> OOCly, Oriana says, "How long have we been flying?"

You say "A few hours."

Taetia says "This is getting us nowhere. We should land for the night, and prepare a better strategy."

<*> OOCly, Al'Marth says, "What better strategy is there than "fly around randomly""

Oriana says "If you say so."

Taetia lands.

Oriana tries to find a shady place or something to spend the night

Taetia finds a nice bit of shade "Now what?"

<*> OOCly, Al'Marth says, "Prime and Matter: Create Air conditioner"

Al'Marth works on his tan

Oriana says "What better strategy did you have in mind, Taetia?"

Eustacio has arrived.

<*> OOCly, eclips9 says, "Never a magic Microsoft around when you need one, eh Al'Marth?"

Taetia says "I don't suppose any of you have the ability to speak with spirits? We could perhaps ask them for a bit of direction."

Al'Marth rolls 5d10 and gets: 6/8/3/2/1 Total: 20

Oriana frowns. "I don't."

Al'Marth says "I can speak with spirits"

Taetia says "Ignoring the compulsive liar for the moment, that leaves flying west or east until we find something interesting. Much further north and we'll be in the Sun Realms. That would be bad."

Al'Marth pulls a dusty tome out of his robes and leafs through the pages

Al'Marth says "we need to sit down in a circle and hold hands, it's called a seance"

Oriana raises an eyebrow.

Taetia says "Really now."

Al'Marth says "yes, then we ask to speak to the spirits of the dead, and they talk to us through whoever cast the spell"

Taetia says "Hey Ben, you were dead. Any otherwordly wisdom or knowledge that could help us out?"

Oriana says "It might be worth a try, Taetia. He's told the truth before."

Al'Marth says "It sounds interesting, I've never spoken in tongues before"

Taetia says "How do we know he's telling the truth this time though? It could be some more pointless Tanak bullshit."

Oriana says "We don't, but did you have a better idea?"

Ben says "Not unless you're interested in a travalogue about Hell...""

Taetia says "No, not really. I'm sure I'll learn all I need when I die."

Taetia shrugs "Whatever. It should be good to pass a few hours, until the sun goes down."

Oriana gets everyone to gather around Al'Marth

Ben says "You're not the only one looking forward to it, Taetia...""

Ben grins.

Al'Marth gets everyone holding hands and mutters some words in strange languages

Taetia says "Going to hell, or nightfall?"

<*> OOCly, Oriana says, "Um...yeah...I was going to ask that myself..."

Taetia says "And if you're refering to what I think you're refering to, try to keep the noise to a minimum."

Ben says "Both.""

Taetia says "I have enough trouble sleeping."

Oriana laughs and gives Ben a kiss

<*> OOCly, Taetia says, "Eeewww! Don't you know you could catch Halfling's doing that?"

Al'Marth throws up his head, then starts speaking in a strange voice

<*> OOCly, Taetia flashes on the crucefix scene from Exorcist

Al'Marth says "Do or do not...there is no try""

<*> OOCly, Oriana says, "You throw up your head? That's a hell of a trick..."

<*> OOCly, Taetia says, "Is Al'Marth going to start yelling "Let Hemlock f_ you!"?"

<*> OOCly, Oriana flashes back to the "Hemlock's Chocolate Salty Balls" discussion from last week...

Al'Marth says "You must...confront..Vader...sorry Variel"

Permission denied.

Taetia says "Who's Vader?"

Al'Marth says "Luminous beings we are, not crude matter"

Oriana says "What?"

Taetia says "Ooo! I know! This is his way of starting a Nonsense Competition!"

Al'Marthspeaks in another different voice, with heavy breathing

You say "'I'll take you up on that one,' Al says."

Oriana says "I get the strangest feeling that this might be a waste of time...wait a minute..."

Al'Marth says "The force is strong in this one"

You say "His voice is calm and bemused."

Oriana says "Who is this?"

Al'Marth says "Taetia...I am your Father"

<*> OOCly, Taetia says, "Dominoes pizza, how may I help you?"

Taetia says "Then that closest incident just got a whole lot more bizarre."

You say "'I remember you from the Chaos Pocket. I helped you get out.'"

Taetia says "Is it the moon again?"

Al'Marth says "You have no idea the power of the dark side of the force"

Al'Marthnow seems to be speaking in a womans voice

You say "No, it's coming from Al's voice, alternating between the calm voice and all of Al'Marth's. Al, even you are noticing a...presence...within you."

Al'Marth says "Ben, you are the weakest link...goodbye"

Taetia says "His better than a play."

Oriana says "This is ridiculous."

Taetia says "Yeah, but it's amusing."

Taetia says "So, who all is in there with you Al?"

Eustacio leaves Tabletop Room 3.

Eustacio has left.

Al'Marth says "um...huh...whoa"

Eustacio arrives from the Gaming Area.

Eustacio has arrived.

You say "'A tanak conducting a seance. That is one of the most amusing things I've ever seen. Shall we end this charade?' A figure in a black cloak steps out of Al'Marth's body. The hood hangs so low that it conceals his entire face except for the bemused smile. He wears a round, silver medallion with a black crescent on the lower edge."

Al'Marth rolls 5d10 and gets: 5/9/9/8/6 Total: 37

Taetia says "Can you make your head spin around counterclockwise and spew split pea soup?"

<*> OOCly, Oriana eeps!!

<*> OOCly, Taetia says, "YES!"

Eustacio leaves Tabletop Room 3.

Eustacio has left.

Taetia says "Well. That's a new trick."

Taetia says "And who're you?"

Oriana says "Excuse me...who are you?"

Al'Marth stands up, shocked

<*> OOCly, Oriana quotes Perfect Blue. Woohoo.

Al'Marth says "thank you for leaving my body"

You say "'I usually go by the name of Eclipse. It has come to my attention that you have lost your way. Why else would you be headed straight into the Sun Realms when your destination lies elsewhere?'"

Database checkpoint in progress _ stand by...

Database checkpoint complete.

Oriana says "That's a good question."

Taetia says "Well yes, we did get a bit lost. I don't suppose you know where we should be?"

Al'Marth says ""Where is Variel""

You say "'Should be? That depends on what you hope to accomplish.'"

Taetia says "Oh, you know, kill Variel, save the world."

Oriana says "We want to stop the Ba'Lak."

Taetia says "Nothing to strenous."

Al'Marth says "Could I end my lying curse?"

<*> OOCly, Taetia says, "On my mark, commence Plan 'Screw Me'. 1, 2, 5, bend over and drop em!"

<*> OOCly, Oriana says, "Don't pester the Supreme Being, boys and girls..."

You say "'Variel is close. Yes, close. But you are going the wrong way. You are headed in the opposite direction from where you must go to defeat him.'"

<*> OOCly, Taetia says, "Warning: Do Not Feed the Supreme Being."

<*> OOCly, Al'Marth says, "Told you so"

Oriana says "So, we should go south then?"

<*> OOCly, Al'Marth says, "South is what I said in the first place"

Taetia says "Oh, if you happen to be trustworthy, we should head south. Since we have no better idea, south it is."

<*> OOCly, Taetia says, "Oh shut up."

Taetia says "Could you specify where in the south?"

You say "'Stopping the Ba'lak is not so easy, however. Variel is something of a liability to Hemlock, now. He will choose a new commander at the next opportunity. As for your lying curse, I can certainly cure that, Al'Marth.' He smiles broadly, revealing a crescent of perfect white teeth."

Al'Marth says "what is it?"

You say "'What is what, Al'Marth?'"

<*> OOCly, Oriana says, "This is a bad, bad idea Al..."

Taetia says "Why is Variel a liability? He seems to be doing fine so far."

Al'Marth says "what is the cure?"

<*> OOCly, Al'Marth says, "he's gonna polymorph me into something that's not a tanak, isn't he"

You say "'Only a human may strike down Hemlock. Why do you think he has gone to such great lengths to destroy them all?' Then to Al, 'Are you asking me to cure you?'"

Al'Marth nods

<*> OOCly, Al'Marth says, "This is a bad idea"

<*> OOCly, Al'Marth says, "this is a terrible idea"

<*> OOCly, Taetia says, "He's going to inject you with Eclipse' Special Sauce. Made of the finest genitalia, chocolate salty balls, and chilly dillies, guraunteed to cure whatever ails you."

<*> OOCly, Oriana laughs

Eustacio has arrived.

Taetia considers this then burries her face in her hands "I knew I should've said yes."

You say "'Lie no more, then, Al'Marth. The Tanak Curse is lifted.'"

Al'Marth says "thank you"

You paged Alec with 'You now have the flaw: Compulsion (supernatural) _ Always tell the truth.'.

Huh? (Type "help" for help.)

Al'Marth tries it out "I can't actually speak to spirits, I can just sense them"

I don't recognize almarth.

No one to page.

Taetia says "Well, it seems to have worked..."

You paged Al'Marth with 'You now have the flaw: Compulsion (supernatural) _ Always tell the truth.'.

<*> OOCly, Al'Marth says, "I KNEW it"

Taetia says "Good on you. You've become slightly less annoying."

Eustacio dropped Vending Machine.

Oriana says "Why don't you thank the nice deity, Al'Marth?"

The vending machine creates some mountain, which eustacio consumes quickly.

<*> OOCly, Oriana says, "YOU EAT A MOUNTAIN?!"

<*> OOCly, Taetia says, "That is going to HURT coming out!"

<*> OOCly, Eustacio says, "Okay, it doesn't do multiple words yet..."

<*> OOCly, eclips9 says, "EVERYONE wants to be a Landworm!"

The vending machine creates some Pepsi, which Eustacio consumes quickly.

The vending machine creates some manch, which Oriana consumes quickly.

Al'Marth pages: So much for Subterfuge:3

<*> OOCly, Taetia says, "Can we have a hot dog man?"

You paged Al'Marth with 'You actually came out behind 1 point..."'.

<*> OOCly, Oriana says, "Um, gee, let me think. NO?"

<*> OOCly, Taetia says, ""Tag 'im, bag 'im, and sell him to the hot dog man""

Al'Marth pages: what is the dif for will checks to overcome the flaw?

Vending Machine has left.

You paged Al'Marth with 'It's supernatural. You can't overcome it.'.

<*> OOCly, Oriana says, "Ohhhhh...vending machine go bye_bye."

<*> OOCly, Eustacio says, "I've just got to adjust a few things."

Al'Marth pages: oh

<*> OOCly, eclips9 says, "Vending machines that walk away, now? This place is almost as bad as the Chaos Zone."

<*> OOCly, eclips9 says, "Well, not really..."

<*> OOCly, Taetia says, "Back to the game then?"

<*> OOCly, Oriana says, "Did you know that when you type "look Ben" you get "You see nothing special"? That makes me feel really good. (c;"

Eustacio dropped Vending Machine.

I don't see that here.

Taetia says "I don't suppose you could tell us where we need to be to stop Hemlock, or perhaps send us there?"

<*> OOCly, Taetia says, "I wonder if Eclipse could give out Arete.."

<*> OOCly, Taetia still needs that log..

Al'Marth says "this seems almost too good to be true"

Taetia shrugs

You say "'You can stop Hemlock by killing him. Only a human can land the fatal blow, though, and the number of humans remaining in Malakai is small indeed.'"

Taetia says "So was Hemlocks bargain. I should've accepted that, but I didn't."

Taetia says "So where can we find one to kill him?"

Taetia says "Wait a minute.."

<*> OOCly, eclips9 says, "You can learn lessons in creative truth_telling from Eclipse, Al'Marth. Watch carefully..."

Taetia says "I know how this is going.. We need to convince Variel to kill Hemlock."

Taetia says "Now, how do we manage that?"

You say "Eclipse smiles. 'That is certainly one way of solving the problem, Taetia.'"

<*> OOCly, Oriana says, "Oh, suckage, suckage..."

Taetia says "Did they originally have to be born a human? Or would one shapeshifted into a human count?"

Taetia says "Not a temporary shifting, but a permanent one, I mean.."

You say "'They must have a human soul.'"

<*> OOCly, eclips9 says, "Actually, Taetia, Eclipse COULD give you Arete. If you can't pay for it in XP, though, he'll exact some other method of payment..."

<*> OOCly, Taetia says, "Example?"

Taetia says "Any idea how to convert Variel then? You can kill him afterwards Oriana."

<*> OOCly, eclips9 says, "I'm afraid there is only one way to find that out for sure..."

<*> OOCly, Al'Marth says, "think of Nyarlahoteps payments"

<*> OOCly, Eustacio says, "Hmm...I might have to try that...*curious look on his face*"

Oriana says "If he kills Hemlock, I can hardly do that in good conscience, can I?"

Taetia says "Is that a problem?"

Oriana says "Well, yes..."

Taetia shrugs and waits for Eclipse to respond to the request.

You say "Eclipse grins, 'Is that a request, Taetia?'"

<*> OOCly, Taetia says, "Variel is a human, isn't he?"

You say "Yes. So is Rahab."

Taetia says "Yes. Tell us the best way of converting Variel back to our cause and convincing him to kill Hemlock, and the best way to do that."

<*> OOCly, Taetia says, "But she's a child.. I'd rather have an archmage."

You say "Suit yourself..."

<*> OOCly, Taetia gets out the vaseline for this screwing.

Taetia says "And while we're at it, in case this fails, how does one kill a god, anyways?"

<*> OOCly, Oriana says, "Um, that's a bad question to ask, Tyson..."

<*> OOCly, Taetia says, "Why? It's been awhile since I've hacked my way through a pantheon."

<*> OOCly, Oriana groans

You say "'Go one thousand miles south to the Island of Persecutions. There you will find the Temple of Dark Gods. Variel lies deep within the tunnels beneath the Temple. If you ask him to join you, he will no longer be your enemy, but do as you wish.'"

<*> OOCly, Taetia says, "Question number 1. Now the other two."

<*> OOCly, Oriana says, "Temple of Dark Gods. Sounds like a great place for a summer vacation, doesn't it?"

Taetia says "That's one."

You say "'Killing a god is a simple matter of knowing his or her weakness and exploiting it. Hemlock cannot be slain with magic, but only by the hand of a human raised against him.'"

<*> OOCly, Taetia says, "Should I ask.. Should I ask.. What're the weaknesses of the other gods?"

<*> OOCly, Al'Marth says, "what's the weakness of eclipse?"

Taetia says "That's three. Now for the answer to question two."

<*> OOCly, Oriana rolls her eyes

You say "'Haven't I already answered your second question with my two answers?'"

<*> OOCly, Eustacio says, "Gollum Gollum precious"

Taetia says "No. There was also asked the best way to use Variel to kill Hemlock."

<*> OOCly, eclips9 says, "Cheesecake, salt, and hosing PCs."

<*> OOCly, Oriana laughs

You say "'He knows the best way to kill him, Taetia. Just ask him.'"

Taetia says "Allright then. We should head south, post haste. How can we contact you if we need to?"

You paged Eustacio with 'You've gotta love vague pronouns...'.

<*> OOCly, Taetia says, "Yes.. Give Tyson the Gm Avatar Summoning Device..."

Eustacio pages: Oh yes...so much fun...

You say "Eclipse smiles and removes the amulet from around his neck, though the amulet around his neck never moves, and hands it to you. 'Simply touch this amulet with the intention of summoning me.'"

Taetia puts it around her neck "I'll remember that. Thank you."

You paged Eustacio with 'I love the way they haven't even questioned anything he's said...'.

<*> OOCly, Taetia says, "200 people. 4 Ships. 2 Islands. 1 Cloud. 1 Malakai."

<*> OOCly, Oriana says, "Now Tyson has a precious too. Gollum gollum. This is not safe."

<*> OOCly, eclips9 says, "You have no idea..."

<*> OOCly, Taetia says, "Gollum gollum!"

Eustacio pages: Why do you think I haven't summoned him yet?

<*> OOCly, Eustacio says, "MY PRECIOUS!!!@"

<*> OOCly, Taetia says, "NO! MY PRECIOUS!"

<*> OOCly, Eustacio says, "Gollum Gollum"

<*> OOCly, Oriana says, "Don't abuse it...not unless you want to be forever known as the little Tanak who cried Supreme Being..."

<*> OOCly, Oriana says, "...Okay, that was kinda weak."

<*> OOCly, Taetia says, "I know, I know. In the wrong hands this amulet could cause indescrible havoc and destruction."

<*> OOCly, Taetia holds up his hands "These hands look wrong enough."

<*> OOCly, Eustacio uses Prime 2/Corr 3 to smite Tyson from afar.

You say "You have now officially brought all the bad karma in your past upon yourself. Congratulations."

<*> OOCly, Taetia uses Corr 7 to send it back to Eus and twist him into a pretzel.

<*> OOCly, Oriana smacks herself in the head...

The vending machine creates some tyson, which eustacio consumes quickly.

<*> OOCly, Taetia says, "So.. Everything bad that happened to us, was from this moment?"

<*> OOCly, Taetia says, "Mmm.. Pretzel.."

<*> OOCly, Taetia eats Eustacio

<*> OOCly, Oriana says, "Eeeeeeeeewwwwwww!!!"

<*> OOCly, Taetia says, "This is like the Al Ashwad thing.."

You say "Well, you're actually slightly behind payments now, but I promise you'll have a chance to pay the balance soon enough. So don't worry."

<*> OOCly, Oriana says, "Anyway...back to reality..."

<*> OOCly, Oriana says, "What Al_Ashwad thing? Please don't mention that name...*G*"

<*> OOCly, Taetia says, "Our actions in the present caused our problems in the past."

<*> OOCly, Oriana twitches uncontrollably

Taetia says "Thank you Eclipse, I'll be sure to call on you only should we dearly need your aid."

Taetia looks around "Shall we stay here for the night, or head south now? We'll only have a bit of daylight left if we start now."

Al'Marth says "I really don't think she should be trusted with that"

You say "You could also look at it as your problems in the past are causing your actions in the present, but that assumes the existence of narrativium..."

Oriana says "Let's stay here for the night."

Taetia glares at Al'Marth "I can take care of it."

You say "Eclipse smiles, 'I think it was made for her. Would you like one, too, Al'Marth?'"

Al'Marth says "Yeah, like you took care of Rahab when she was in the tree"

Taetia pages: Diff for nightmares? or could I just botch? It'd give me the oppurtunity for what I'd planned.

Taetia says "I did my best with the information on hand."

Taetia says "So bite me Al'Marth."

<*> OOCly, Al'Marth says, "is that an invitation?"

<*> OOCly, Taetia says, "No."

<*> OOCly, Oriana says, "We had this problem last session..."

<*> OOCly, Taetia says, "Not at the moment. But maybe later."

<*> OOCly, Oriana just realized that this is going to be the Island of Freaky Sex tonight...

<*> OOCly, Taetia says, "We just need to invite the Fae in.."

You say "Is it safe to assume you'll at least wait until dark?"

<*> OOCly, Taetia says, "What's keeping us from just asking Eclipse to kill Hemlock?"

<*> OOCly, Taetia says, "Prolly."

<*> OOCly, Taetia says, "Eclipse still there?"

You say "Nothing at all, Taetia..."

<*> OOCly, Taetia says, "Mmmm..."

You say "I never said he left, did I? He's simply watching you. It's frustrating the way you can't see his eyes. It makes his face almost impossible to read..."

Taetia stands up, gives him a hug and a kiss "Thanks for all the help."

<*> OOCly, Taetia says, "I just had to do that."

You say "'No. Thank YOU.' He chuckles and then disappears."

<*> OOCly, Taetia says, "He just likes raising 32 flavors of hell, doesn't he?"

<*> OOCly, Oriana says, "That was...interesting, to say the least..."

Taetia finds a comfortable piece of ground and goes to sleep.

<*> OOCly, Eustacio says, "Eclipse, do you have Umbra Revised by chance?"

<*> OOCly, eclips9 says, "No, just the Book of Worlds."

Oriana and Ben find someplace a respectable distance away from the rest of the cabal...

<*> OOCly, Taetia says, "Please.. no more.."

Give to whom?

Give to whom?

Eustacio pages: Too bad...Atrocity Realm is fun...

<*> OOCly, Taetia begins playing "The Mammal Song"

You paged Eustacio with 'Do I need anymore nightmare fuel to use in my chronicles?'.

<*> OOCly, Al'Marth says, "what qualifies as a respectable distance"

You publicly roll 1d10 and get: 6 Total: 6

<*> OOCly, Oriana says, "Out of sight, out of earshot..."

<*> OOCly, Oriana can't believe she's having this conversation...*G*

Eustacio pages: True. I just find it scares Tyson quite a bit now that he got tossed into the Atrocity Realm and had to consume another PC to free himself...

You say "The sun rises four hours after it sets."

<*> OOCly, Taetia says, "So put your hands down my pants and I bet you'll feel nuts, yes I'm siskel, yes I'm Ebert, and I'm giving you two thumbs up."

Taetia pages: Roll for nightmares?

You paged Eustacio with 'Would it be as bad as forcing Oriana to kill her husband?'.

You paged Eustacio with 'taetia dif 8'.

Eustacio pages: Depends...she could have to kill him in the Atrocity Realm once, then have to kill him again in the real world...double the joy.

<*> OOCly, Al'Marth says, "I'm listening to a song with communist Propaganda"

<*> OOCly, Taetia says, "Please turn me on, I'm Mr. Coffee with an automatic drip. You show me yours and I'll show you mine.."

<*> OOCly, Taetia says, "Gotta love the Bloodhound gang."

<*> OOCly, eclips9 says, "You folks do realize that if you would have gone north much farther, you would have started taking Agg from the heat of the sun, don't you?"

<*> OOCly, Taetia says, "Quite."

You paged Eustacio with 'taetia dif 8'.

You paged Eustacio with 'sorry.'.

Eustacio pages: No problem, it happens.

You paged Taetia with 'dif 8'.

Taetia rolls 6d10 and gets: 29

<*> OOCly, Taetia says, "Sorry, need to change my dice defaults.."

<*> OOCly, Eustacio says, "Somebody didn't set the defaults..."

<*> OOCly, Taetia says, "How did it go again.."

<*> OOCly, Eustacio says, "&roll.default me=show"

<*> OOCly, Eustacio says, "roll.style me=full"

<*> OOCly, Eustacio says, "(stick an & in front of that>"

Taetia rolls 6d10 and gets: 3/1/6/7/10/2 Total: 29

<*> OOCly, Taetia says, "No succ."

<*> OOCly, Taetia says, "Just barely missed a botch.. could we ignore the 10?"

You say "Taetia, you have a bout of insomnia. Just as you are about to fall asleep, the sun rises. Oriana and Ben didn't get much sleep, either."

You say "The sun is noticeably brighter and hotter this close to the Sun Realms."

Taetia says "Are you two quite done? We should probably head south. Presuming we travel 10 hours today, we should arrive sometime tomarrow."

<*> OOCly, Oriana says, "Once again proving that my characters get more sex than ANYONE..."

Oriana yawns. "Yes, let's go."

<*> OOCly, eclips9 says, "You're tied with Octavius, now."

<*> OOCly, Taetia says, "I've tried, god how I've tried. But Al'Marth isn't happy with Taetia, and Wolf passed out when he started hitting on Leon."

Taetia says "Good. Because all that squeeking was getting on my nerves."

Taetia says "SOunded like two frikken rats in a tin can.."

Taetia stands and wakes the ones who're still asleep.

You say "Alright. Headed south, are we?"

Taetia takes off and heads south.

Oriana follows, rubbing her eyes.

Al'Marth follows

Taetia flies a goodly way away from the others.

<*> OOCly, Taetia says, "Test"

You say "Just as night is beginning to fall (at a reassonable hour, this time), you reach a large island that looks like it is made of humanoid skulls stuck in hardened black lava. There is a dormant volcano at the center of the island that is also covered in skulls. On top of the volcano is a large building made of solid basalt decorated with (you guessed it) humanoid skulls."

Taetia says "Earlier than I expected. Think this is the place?"

<*> OOCly, Taetia says, "How long've we been flying?"

<*> OOCly, Al'Marth says, "all day"

<*> OOCly, Taetia says, "At least 16 hours and 40 some minutes.."

Database checkpoint in progress _ stand by...

Database checkpoint complete.

You say "19 hours."

<*> OOCly, Taetia says, "That means we're 1140 south of where we were. Eclipse said 1000."

<*> OOCly, Al'Marth says, "1140 what?"

<*> OOCly, Taetia says, "Miles."

<*> OOCly, Taetia says, "Unless we're counting in rest stops?"

<*> OOCly, Taetia says, "At which point it's all good.."

<*> OOCly, Taetia says, "Yes.. I am anal this way.."

You say "This is the place. I'm counting rest stops and only breaking out the calculator when absolutely necessary..."

<*> OOCly, Taetia says, "Ok."

<*> OOCly, Taetia says, "We still a ways a way?"

<*> OOCly, Al'Marth says, "The inherent inferiority of the imperial system of measurement"

Taetia says "Shall we circle it, out of sight, and trie for a more subtle entrance, or just hope nobodies home?"

<*> OOCly, Al'Marth says, "That's the problem"

<*> OOCly, Taetia says, "I agree."

Oriana says "It couldn't hurt to check for a back door. (turns on corr sensing)"

<*> OOCly, Al'Marth says, "That's why we canadians use the metric system, we also don't have mtv (c;"

<*> OOCly, Oriana will agree that the English system of measurement is stupid...I mean, even the English don't use it anymore...just the U.S., Liberia, and Myanmar...

<*> OOCly, eclips9 says, "It frightens me that you knew that, Oriana..."

<*> OOCly, Eustacio applaudes Beth's knowledge of useless information.

<*> OOCly, Taetia says, "And the US'll never give it up.. to damn stubborn."

<*> OOCly, Al'Marth says, "the US was going to change with everyone else, then they changed their minds"

<*> OOCly, Oriana takes a bow...

<*> OOCly, Taetia says, "I know. The idiots prevailed.."

Taetia says "Anything?"

<*> OOCly, Oriana should REALLY up the Useless Trivia score on her Mage sheet, to represent a whole year of useless knowledge gained from college...*G*

<*> OOCly, Eustacio should actually make one of those now that he has Mage...

<*> OOCly, Taetia says, "Oh btw, remember when I said my char died, and I used your facetious sheet? Want to know what happened to her?"

<*> OOCly, Oriana says, "I'm afraid to ask...but yes, I do."

<*> OOCly, Taetia says, "Died quite heroically, crashing the Enterprise (Which she restored after the alien/vampire/borg had gotten to it) into the Hidden City to destroy it and keep it from the Nephandi and Technocracy. Created a might big black hole."

<*> OOCly, Oriana says, "Awwww...my facetious Mage character died saving the world. I'm so proud of her. *sniff* Anyway, back to the game..."

Alec pages: Ummm? eclips9 pages: You now have the flaw: Compulsion (supernatural) _ Always tell the truth.

Taetia waits patiently

<*> OOCly, Oriana says, "Diff/successes to look for entrances, guards, that sort of thing?"

You paged Alec with 'Sorry. Mispage...'.

From afar, Alec hehehs, figures.

You say "Per + Alertness, dif 6"

<*> OOCly, Taetia says, "All of us?"

Oriana rolls 4d10 and gets: 3/10/6/2 Total: 21

<*> OOCly, Oriana says, "2"

You say "If you're interested in whether there is anyone in the temple below..."

Taetia rolls 6d10 and gets: 4/1/9/3/1/6 Total: 24

<*> OOCly, Taetia says, "None."

<*> OOCly, Taetia says, "C'mon perception boy, roll."

<*> OOCly, Oriana says, "That...and I want to know where the entrances and such are, and whether they're guarded..."

<*> OOCly, eclips9 says, "I've sent my pages. It's up to them, now..."

Al'Marth says "I only see one entrance, there are some rather unpleasant looking statues in front of the main entrance""

<*> OOCly, Oriana is still waiting for an answer about the roll for finding out about guards and stuff...

Taetia says "Perhaps would be invaders.. or magical guardians."

You paged Oriana with 'Sorry. You don't notice any guards, either.'.

Oriana says "Well, there's really no other way to get in, so we don't have much of a choice. If it's any consolation, I don't see any guards..."

You paged Taetia with 'You don't detect any magical protections except for the fact that the entire bloody island is a Nexus.'.

Al'Marth says "I see a lot of Entropic resonance, and scary_looking creatures, I can't see much else"

Taetia says "How interesting. No magical protections that I can detect, but the entire island is a nexus."

<*> OOCly, Taetia says, "Whats the diff _ for being on a large nexus? _1 to _3, if I remember right."

Al'Marth says "I don't think it would be wise to try to access the nexus"

You say "Depends on if your Resonances and paradigms are compatible."

Taetia says "Geeemm you're observant.."

<*> OOCly, Taetia says, "Weard, more or less, with chaos and frozen resonance.."

Al'Marth says "sorry, I'm still getting used to being able to say what's on my mind"

You say "Nope. Right paradigm. Wrong Resonance..."

Hugon has received your page: "There are two ways Variel could be on their

it's a good idea to go hunting down archmagi in their Nexus lairs?"

Taetia says, "Statues to the Evil Gods?"

Taetia looks for Doxy's statue..

us south to the temple to recruit Variel."

<OOC> Oriana says, "No, we left them on another island..."

<OOC> Taetia says, "That cover everything?"

Eclipse [to Koi]: No. You dumped the halflings onto an island, with the

exception of Ben, who you made fly. Did you have any Scourge points, by the

way?

<OOC> Taetia says, "Oh. And Tae kissed him. Eclipse that is."

<OOC> Koi says, "Umm...no."

<OOC> Koi says, "And eww. ;)"

<OOC> AlMarth says, "You forgot to mention the seance"

<OOC> Koi says, "So, basically we've been charged by Eclipse to go get variel

and kill hemlock?"

<OOC> Taetia says, "A chance to kiss the Supreme Being? I couldn'tve missed

that.. Only would've been better if he'd stayed around long enough to shag."

<OOC> Taetia says, "Pretty much."

<OOC> AlMarth says, "oh and the moon from the chaos zone was actually Eclipse"

<OOC> Koi says, "Why does the term out of the frying pan and in to the fire

come to mind?"

<OOC> AlMarth says, "And I held a seance"

<OOC> Oriana says, "And I got laid"

Eclipse [to Taetia]: Yes, statues to evil gods. Doxy is the busty one covered

from head to foot in clothes that reveal nothing but a hint of the curve of

her breasts.

<OOC> Taetia says, "And then Eclipse errupted from AlMarth Alien style."

<OOC> Koi blinks.

Rahab rolled 3d10: 1, 4, 8; totalling 13.

<OOC> Koi says, "Can't rahab ;)"

Naphtali pages, "Let me guess, the golems are immune to normal weapons?"

<OOC> Rahab whines.

<OOC> Koi says, "It's okay, you can't cast this round, or the next for that

matter."

<OOC> Rahab nosewrinkles. Oh, yeah. Buggerall.

<OOC> Taetia wants his Devouring Burst of Hell Fire rote back..

<OOC> Oriana says, "By per round I mean...jeez...I don't know WHAT I mean..."

You say, "Rahab's prime bolt hits the statue of Contagion, which explodes into

pea gravel."

<OOC> Koi blinks at Eclipse...

<OOC> Rahab says, "Or he'll let me do it..."

<OOC> Koi says, "A, that would do 0 damage...B, this is subround 2 I

thought..."

<OOC> You say, "C'mon, folks. The 5-year-old is showing you up."

<OOC> Taetia says, "Christ, what've you two been doing while we're gone.."

You say, "Oops. nevermind..."

Eclipse [to Rahab]: What do you REALLY do this turn?

<OOC> Rahab nods at Ecl and Koi, forgot that little detail.

<OOC> Hugon says, "Combat, subrounds, gah...maybe if you just talked to the

statues..."

<OOC> Koi smiles.

Rahab finds somewhere inobtrusive to not get hit.

<OOC> Koi grins and points at Oriana. "Our negotiator." :)

Eclipse [to Rahab]: So you're converting this sub-turn's action into a dodge?

<OOC> Oriana says, "Oh yes, let's NEGOTIATE with the pantheon of evil.

That'll work well. *G*"

<OOC> Rahab noddles.

<OOC> Taetia says, "It didn't help me."

<OOC> AlMarth says, "no, has my spirit sense worn off?"

Taetia, who winces.

You say, "Nevermind."

<OOC> Taetia says, "Yeah.. that's why I rolled 2d10.. and besides, armor isn't

Koi rolled 7d10: 3, 3, 3, 10, 6, 1, 6; totalling 32.

<OOC> Koi says, "Oh for the love of pete."

You say, "Koi punches the basalt monolith of Scourge again, doing exactly no

<OOC> Rahab thinks he just forfeited it.

<OOC> Koi says, "Assuming, of course...he want's to dodge. ;)"

<OOC> Oriana blinks

<OOC> AlMarth says, "Take that Oriana"

Taetia pulls back a bit "After we're done here, we have to talk" kisses him

again.

Eclipse [to Koi]: Remember how you guys are always asking me about the game

effects of Purity? What's yours, by the way?

<OOC> Koi whimpers.

<OOC> Koi says, "....4...."

<OOC> Koi dives behind a big rock.

<OOC> You say, "Could the cats PLEASE wait their turns?"

:)"

Koi has received your page: "That was after Purity saved your ass. You are at

Incapacitated, right?"

<OOC> Oriana says, "test?"

<OOC> Taetia says, "Anyone else notice how the "Go in, kill everything that

moves, loot the place and burn it to ashes" mentality is common to even the

best rp'ers? I blame TSR."

<OOC> Oriana says, "Never mind..."

<OOC> Rahab almost never exhibits that trait, actually.

<OOC> Oriana doesn't think she does that, very much...

You say, "Oriana's sword blade falls out of the hilt, and all the seams in her

clothing give way at once. (-1 Effective Dex until remedied)"

<OOC> Taetia says, "Not saying you do, I'm saying we don't need to kill the

statues, yet there they are."

You say, "Hemlock's statue walks into the temple after the two runaways."

<OOC> Oriana says, "My sword"

Eclipse [to Oriana]: Read about ten lines up...

Eclipse [to Oriana]: Okay, 15

<OOC> Oriana says, "Oh, my entire SWORD crapped out on me? Guess I

misinterpreted that..."

<OOC> Hugon says, "Gotta go, heading over to my friend's place. Don't blow up

too many islands."

<OOC> Oriana says, "In that case, I'm saving my action in case I need to dodge

or something..."

<Logout> Hugon has disconnected on Sat Aug

18 22:21:15 2001 EST

Hugon has disconnected.

You say, "The statue of Doxy goes inside the temple, chasing the two scaredy

cats."

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.

Eclipse [to Rahab]: Go.

of 'Things you never want to hear your GM say'."

<OOC> Taetia says, "0!"

<OOC> Oriana nodnods

about it. That's a little better.

AlMarth tries to get off the big spike

You say, "Only 4 out here, though."

<OOC> Taetia says, "The stairway have a banister? And how far from where the

statues are to the ground?"

Eclipse [to AlMarth]: Okay. You get your foot out of the stair.

Eclipse [to Taetia]: The stairway does not have a banister, being enclosed and

leading down. The statues are standing on the ground, at the moment.

<OOC> Taetia says, "Oh."

<OOC> Taetia says, "How high is the ceiling?"

You say, "8ft in the stairway, which they are just getting ready to descend.

16ft in the temple."

<OOC> Taetia says, "How tall are they?"

Eclipse [to Taetia]: Go.

Eclipse [to Taetia]: 7ft.

Taetia wraps her arms around AlMarth and floats up (that count as an action,

or can I still cast a spell?)

<OOC> Taetia says, "Because I have a plan!"

Eclipse [to Taetia]: Can't cast a spell this sub-turn, then.

<OOC> Taetia says, "Allrighty then."

Eclipse [to Koi]: Go. Oh wait. You're in a coma.

<OOC> Rahab says, "That was mean."

You say, "Wait. I lied. Wrong subturn. >:-) AND NONE OF YOU EVEN NOTICED!"

<OOC> Oriana says, "test?"

Eclipse [to Oriana]: Go.

<OOC> Oriana says, "Nevermind..."

Oriana goes for another prime bolt...

<OOC> Rahab blinks.

<OOC> Koi says, "I'm still trying to figure out who Wysp is...."

<OOC> Rahab says, "One of the Bad Gods."

<OOC> Oriana says, "1 quint, 1 WP..."

Eclipse [to Koi]: Goddess of confusion.

Oriana rolled 3d10: 10, 8, 2; totalling 20.

<OOC> Koi says, "Oh, well, she's here? :)"

<OOC> Oriana says, "Okay, 4 damage, then..."

Eclipse [to Oriana]: 4 damage to Pitfall, right? The one you already damaged?

<OOC> Oriana says, "Yup"

<OOC> Taetia says, "Goddess of confusion. How appropriate."

You say, "The statue of Pitfall turns into a shower of colored confetti, which

rapidly evaporates."

<OOC> Oriana yays!

Eclipse [to Rahab]: Go.

<OOC> You say, "Happy New Year!"

<OOC> Oriana laughs

<OOC> Rahab says, "How bad does Koi look?"

Eclipse [to Rahab]: BAD. Death's door, even.

Rahab pages, "Spending a quint will lower diff, right?"

<OOC> Koi says, "Let's put it this way...damage doesn't normally effect me. ;)"

Rahab has received your page: "Yes. By one per point of quint"

Rahab pages, "And normal diff is..."

Rahab pages, "For healing."

You say, "That helps somewhat, though he is still in pretty bad shape (gain 2

HL)."

<OOC> Rahab gets 2 out of it tho.

You say, "Dusk's turn."

You say, "Just kidding. Al, go."

Koi moans...rising to his knees.

<OOC> AlMarth says, "I'm being held in the air by Tyson, right"

<OOC> Taetia says, "What're their positions, exactly? Are the spaced apart?

Lined up across the stairway, or is Hemlock at the very head, with one close

behind him."

<OOC> Taetia says, "Yup."

Rahab [to Koi]: Don't move. You're hurt.

Koi [to Rahab]: Have to...

Rahab shakes her head. "I'll sit on you."

You say, "Hemlock is in front, then Doxy, then Dusk."

<OOC> Taetia says, "How close?"

AlMarth stays where he is for now

<OOC> Taetia says, "Together, that is?"

Taetia pages, "I'd like to borrow kinetic force from the ocean (forces 2) and

use it to push Doxy into Hemlock and send them both down the stairs, head

first."

Eclipse [to Taetia]: ten feet and ten feet. They are MAYBE ten feet away from

you.

Taetia pages, "They close enough together for that?"

Eclipse [to Taetia]: That's a little closer to Forces 3, but it's possible at

dif 5.

Taetia pages, "2 quint, 1 wp."

Taetia chants "Prosterno statua ex deus"

Taetia rolled 3d10: 6, 8, 5; totalling 19.

Taetia pages, "5 succ, with wp, and auto succ from forces.."

<OOC> Taetia says, "Gotta love that english/latin online translator.."

Eclipse [to Taetia]: You throw both of them off balance enough that they fall

down the stairs. When they reach the bottom landing, a jet of flame shoots

at them from the ceiling.

Taetia says, "HAH! Eat that, biatches!"

Eclipse [to Koi]: Go.

!!! 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> Taetia says, "Hemlock take any damage from Doxy landing on him?"

Eclipse rolled 5d10: 7, 2, 5, 6, 8; totalling 28.

Eclipse rolled 5d10: 1, 8, 5, 9, 5; totalling 28.

<OOC> Koi hrms.

Eclipse [to Taetia]: A couple chips of stone go flying.

<OOC> Taetia says, "That wasn't nearly as effective as I'd supposed."

Naphtali has received your page: "Actually, they automatically soak 5 HL of

damage from anything but Agg."

<OOC> Rahab says, "Aaah...Doxy's all soft and yielding, y'know."

<OOC> Koi says, "4 on 3, and they do craploads of damage in one hit...not

good."

<Login> Octavius has connected from 1Cust212.tnt47.det3.

da.uu.net on Sat Aug 18 22:53:01 2001 EST.

Octavius has arrived.

<OOC> Octavius says, "Hello."

<OOC> Taetia says, "Howdy ho."

<OOC> Koi says, "Is the one that blew me up still standing? :)"

<OOC> AlMarth says, "hi"

<OOC> Oriana waves to Octavius

<OOC> Octavius says, "How is everyone?"

<OOC> Taetia says, "Fly out of range and blast the shit out of them from afar?"

Eclipse [to Koi]: Actually, It's only 3 on 3, at the moment. Three ran after

the other two magi and three are destroyed.

<OOC> Rahab says, "You can always hope another one backlashes :P"

<OOC> Koi says, "Oh...that's good..."

<OOC> Koi says, "They have magic too...range doesn't mean much."

<OOC> Taetia says, "Quite."

Koi aims another concussion blast at the one who hit him...if it's still

alive, a random one if not. ;)

Eclipse [to Koi]: Yes. It was Scourge.

<OOC> Koi says, "1 wp"

Rahab gets a worried little frown on her face.

Koi rolled 4d10: 5, 7, 7, 5; totalling 24.

<OOC> Koi coughs.

<OOC> Koi says, "boom"

Eclipse [to Koi]: What exactly are you using? Forces, Prime, or a combination

of both?

<OOC> Koi says, "same thing I did before, shout, transmute it into a physical

blast."

You say, "Koi's shout knocks the statue flat on the ground, sending great

cracks throughout its basalt body. (7HL after specialized soak and it is now

vulnerable to normal attacks)"

Eclipse [to Oriana]: Go.

<OOC> Koi says, "aww...thought it was 10 hl ;)"

<OOC> Koi giggles.

<OOC> Koi says, "jump it!"

You say, "Part of the trouble is they reduce all physical attacks by 5 and all

non-Agg Prime attacks by 3..."

<OOC> Octavius says, "Yes, cut it down to your size."

<OOC> Oriana says, "My sword doesn't work. I have no Brawl. I used my

magical action...so...I'm saving my action for a dodge or something..."

You say, "Okay."

Eclipse [to Rahab]: GO.

Rahab is tagging along behind Koi, waiting to push him out of the way or dodge

or something.

Eclipse [to AlMarth]: Go.

AlMarth , still being held by Taetia saves his action for a dodge

Eclipse [to Taetia]: Go.

Taetia flies at the statue at the top of the stairs, trying to kick it in the

head, and hope the 60mph speeds, combined weight, and it's crappy center of

balance could knock it's ass down.

<OOC> Taetia says, "What do I roll for that?"

<OOC> Taetia says, "dex+do?"

Eclipse [to Taetia]: Yep.

Taetia rolled 8d10: 3, 7, 7, 7, 5, 5, 9, 4; totalling 47.

<OOC> Octavius says, "When did Taetia learn Do?"

<OOC> Taetia says, "5 succ."

<OOC> Koi says, "She's had it."

<OOC> Taetia says, "From the Ba'Lak."

Eclipse [to Taetia]: Damage?

<OOC> Oriana says, "Heh heh...Do...suddenly that reminds me of a really funny

newbie story...but nevermind..."

<OOC> Octavius says, "Ouch."

Taetia rolled 9d10: 5, 10, 6, 10, 5, 5, 4, 10, 7; totalling 62.

<OOC> Taetia says, "5 succ"

<OOC> Taetia says, "Sigh."

<OOC> Koi blinks.

<OOC> Taetia says, "But we're going reall fast and have a lot of weight, does

it get knocked down"

<OOC> AlMarth says, "do do that voodo that you do so well"

<OOC> Koi says, "why'd you roll 10 dice?"

<OOC> Koi says, "err...9"

<OOC> Rahab doesn't want to think about running into a statue at 60 mph. Ow.

<OOC> Taetia says, "Kick= 4, plus 5 succ."

<OOC> Taetia says, "Do doesn't recquire you to drop 1 succ."

<OOC> Koi says, "Do = successes + 3"

<OOC> Koi says, "And it doesn't? I have been"

<OOC> Taetia says, "No, punching = succ +3"

<OOC> Taetia says, "Kicking =4+succ"

<OOC> Taetia says, "Theres different moves Koi."

<OOC> Octavius says, "Kick is higher damage then punch."

You say, "Taetia's kick and inertia force the statue of Dusk to take a full

step back."

Eclipse [to Koi]: Go.

<OOC> Koi says, "News to me."

<OOC> Octavius says, "Yes, kick its lights out."

<OOC> Taetia says, "Do I manage to get past it?"

<OOC> Koi would think you'd crash in to it.

Koi leaps foward to finish the job on the one he nailed.

Eclipse [to Taetia]: Yes, but not incredibly far, yet. If you moved too fast,

you would have taken damage from kicking a pillar of basalt...

<OOC> Koi says, "Kick then."

Koi rolled 8d10: 8, 1, 4, 7, 5, 1, 2, 2; totalling 30.

<OOC> Koi says, "Oh whee...0"

<OOC> AlMarth says, "oh crap"

Eclipse [to AlMarth]: That's what I said...

<OOC> Octavius says, "Fighting the statues of evil deitys?"

<OOC> Oriana ponders...

Oriana saves this action too. Once again, there's not much else I can do...

<OOC> Taetia says, "This is why forces is a happy thing."

Eclipse [to Oriana]: You could beat the statue of Scourge with the hilt of

your sword...

<OOC> Koi says, "right untill the wraiths attack"

<OOC> Oriana says, "True...I'm gonna try that then. Any modifiers to the

difficulty?"

<OOC> You say, "Or until you're stuck on a lifeboat in the middle of the ocean

with no food or water..."

<OOC> Taetia says, "Then we could make our boat fly again."

<OOC> AlMarth says, "DON'T SAY BOAT"

Eclipse [to Oriana]: dif 6. Dam = Str + add'l successes.

enemy of all."

<OOC> Octavius looks at the lables, "Oops, I hit all of you with Ones

attractant.

You say, "Well, the statue of Scourge must have a phenomenal number of

Corruption Points that are protecting it from harm, or something. Oriana's

hilt falls out of her hand right before she swings it."

Eclipse rolled 5d10: 7, 7, 1, 8, 6; totalling 29.

<OOC> AlMarth says, "why do things keep not seeming to happen, it's even more

frightening than stuff happening"

<Login> Koi has reconnected from MC47-63.Manchester.EDU

<OOC> Koi says, "wow"

Eclipse [to AlMarth]: Go.

<OOC> Koi hopes he's not dead or anything.

<OOC> AlMarth says, "what could I do with entropy right now?"

Eclipse [to AlMarth]: What level of Entropy?

<OOC> AlMarth says, "2"

<OOC> Taetia says, "Increase their chances of falling down or something?"

<OOC> Taetia says, "Decrease their chances of successfuly hitting.."

Eclipse [to AlMarth]: You could increase your chances or an ally's chances of

successful attacks, too.

<OOC> Taetia says, "Up to -3/+3 to diff."

<OOC> Taetia says, "Not sure about the +diff, but it says -3 is as far as

magic can go with helping ya."

<OOC> Taetia says, "Test?"

You say, "No modifier can change diff beyond +/- 3"

<OOC> Taetia says, "Single modifier, if I remember correctly?"

AlMarth attemps to increase the propability of Koi putting the hurt to the

statues

Eclipse [to Taetia]: Correct. No SINGLE modifier. The only exception I can

think of is raising the difficulty of a spell with countermagic that uses

Quintessence, but that's clearly not the case here...

Eclipse [to AlMarth]: dif 4.

AlMarth pulls out a deck of Tarot cards and shuffles through them

AlMarth rolled 2d10: 2, 1; totalling 3.

<OOC> Taetia says, "Stupid isp.."

<OOC> Taetia says, "My turn yet?"

<OOC> AlMarth says, "No scourge"

Eclipse [to AlMarth]: 2 Scourge points.

<OOC> AlMarth says, "except the one(two?) that that got me"

<OOC> AlMarth says, "oh"

<OOC> AlMarth says, "2"

<OOC> AlMarth says, "no backlash though"

<OOC> AlMarth says, "I'll try that one again later"

<OOC> Taetia says, "Can I move beyond the two statues at the head of the

stairs?"

Eclipse [to AlMarth]: Backlash only happens when the roll arete die says it

does...

<OOC> AlMarth says, "that's what I meant"

Eclipse [to Taetia]: Sure.

Taetia moves beyond the two status and drops AlMarth in a clear spot

Eclipse [to Koi]: Go.

<OOC> Taetia says, "Thank god White Wolf doesn't embrace the Attack of

Oppurtunity bs.."

Koi viciously kicks at the statue again.

<OOC> AlMarth says, "WW publishes d20 system stuff"

<OOC> Koi always thought that made sense actually.

Koi rolled 8d10: 10, 2, 3, 10, 4, 5, 5, 8; totalling 47.

<OOC> Taetia says, "I know it does, that doesn't mean I have to like it.."

<OOC> AlMarth says, "under the label of Sword and Sorcery"

<OOC> Koi says, "3 succ"

<OOC> AlMarth says, "It's pretty good, I've heard"

Koi rolled 7d10: 4, 1, 5, 7, 4, 7, 3; totalling 31.

<OOC> Koi says, "geeze"

<OOC> Koi says, "a whopping 1"

<OOC> Koi says, "Someone give me a club or something...I'd be better off."

Eclipse [to Koi]: You kick the statue's head, which rolls about a foot away

from the body.

<OOC> Koi says, "woo!"

Eclipse [to Oriana]: Go.

<OOC> Taetia says, "How many statues are there left?"

<OOC> Oriana says, "Is it a new turn?"

Eclipse [to Taetia]: One out here. 4 in the temple.

Eclipse [to Oriana]: Yes.

Oriana does one more prime bolt then. 1 WP and the last quint...

Oriana rolled 3d10: 1, 6, 5; totalling 12.

<OOC> Oriana says, "And a whopping 2 damage to one of the statues..."

You say, "Oriana's bolt of Prime strikes the statue of Knock in the shoulder,

cracking the stone slightly."

Eclipse [to Rahab]: Go.

inverting the gravity around an object. How difficult would that be?"

AlMarth saves his action for a dodge

Koi has received your page: "Forces 2 on a small scale, but that only makes a

object with the approximate mass of a human weightless."

Taetia pages, "Same as before, sending one statue toppling into another by

pushing at the point where it's most susceptible, sending it into the other

one, and both down the stairs into Hemlock and Doxy.. Forces 3, diff 5. 1 wp."

Taetia chants again

Taetia rolled 3d10: 3, 3, 7; totalling 13.

Taetia pages, "3 succ, then.."

Koi pages, "and to pump it up to huge rock level?"

Eclipse [to Taetia]: You don't quite push them back, but they can't come any

closer to you this turn, either.

Eclipse [to Koi]: Forces 3.

<OOC> Koi says, "enough to invert? Or just weightless?"

<OOC> Taetia says, "Of course.. that's brilliant."

Eclipse [to Koi]: Depends on the number of successes, in this case. Basalt is

not a light stone...

<OOC> Koi says, "Granted."

<OOC> Koi says, "could it be done in one round? Hows that?"

<OOC> Koi says, "I'm running low on wp, and these things are kicking our

butts. ;)"

<OOC> Taetia says, "We've kill 4 of them.. Help me push the others down the

stairs.."

<OOC> Koi says, "don't we kinda have to go down the stairs?"

Eclipse [to Koi]: Probably not. It would take 2 suc just to make one

weightless.

<OOC> Taetia says, "Point being? If they have to climb the stairs to attack

us, while we rain magical hell on them, we have the advantage."

<OOC> You say, "But they don't need to...oh nevermind..."

<OOC> Taetia says, "And don't give me that "They can hit us with magic" Shit.

If we keep knocking them down, and stand away from the entrance on their

turn.."

<OOC> Koi eyes.

<OOC> Koi says, "1wp"

Koi rolled 4d10: 9, 10, 8, 2; totalling 29.

<OOC> Koi says, "4, assuming the diff is 5"

You say, "Koi makes a flying statue..."

<OOC> Taetia says, "Now is when someone with matter would be helpful.."

Koi pages, "that was for a flying -upward- statue."

Koi pages, "was hoping 4 would be enough. ;)"

Eclipse [to Koi]: Okay, that. It won't last but one turn, though. Hell of a

fall, though. :does the math...

<OOC> Koi grins.

<OOC> Koi says, "Kinda the idea"

<OOC> Taetia says, "We might want to get out of shrapnel range."

<OOC> Koi would prefer off to one side a bit...on top of us would kinda suck.

Eclipse [to Koi]: 48 feet, right. 32ft/sec acceleration x 3 sec is 32 x 3 / 2.

<OOC> Koi says, "heck if I have directional control, aim for another one ;)"

Eclipse [to Koi]: There aren't any others out here...

<OOC> Koi says, "darn, then an open area"

Eclipse [to Oriana]: Go.

Oriana saves her action again...

Rahab holds action :)

Eclipse [to AlMarth]: Go.

<OOC> Taetia says, "It this a new turn?"

Eclipse [to Taetia]: Nope.

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

saved once more.

AlMarth saves action for dodge

Eclipse [to Taetia]: Go.

Taetia flies at the statue near the stairway, and gives it two kitty feet in

the face, trying to knock it into the other one, and thus, down the stairs.

Taetia rolled 8d10: 4, 2, 5, 10, 10, 5, 5, 9; totalling 50.

<OOC> Taetia says, "3 succ"

Taetia rolled 7d10: 4, 1, 2, 4, 6, 10, 9; totalling 36.

<OOC> Taetia says, "2 damage.."

<OOC> Taetia trades dice with the St while he's not looking

You say, "The statue is heavy. It doesn't even react to your attack."

Eclipse [to Koi]: Go.

Taetia bounces off

<OOC> Taetia says, "Wasn't it already off balance?"

<OOC> Taetia says, "From the forces. You said it couldn't approach this turn?"

<OOC> Octavius says, "Um, Teatia, you are suppose to yell, Oh my lor ehat can

that be? first then switch things."

<OOC> Taetia says, "Excuse me?"

<OOC> Koi hmms.

<OOC> Taetia says, "Oh yes."

<OOC> Oriana thinks Oct is trying to quote Vizzini. "And I choose...what in

the WORLD could that be?"

Koi holds his ground, not preparing to dodge, since physical attacks are't

going all that great at the moment.

Eclipse [to Taetia]: It can't move forward, but it isn't off balance. These

statues have such a shitty center-of gravity that they only have two states -

on balance, and toppling.

<OOC> Taetia says, "Ah, ic"

You say, "Hemlock waves his arms at the flying kitty."

Eclipse [to Rahab]: No.

<OOC> AlMarth says, "you just answered that"

AlMarth twiddles his thumbs

<OOC> Taetia says, "The golems went on subturn one?"

Naphtali pages, "Question for you (if you can answer in the barrage of

combat). Are you planning on running next weekend? Just need to know when

the summer ends for this."

Eclipse [to Taetia]: Go.

<OOC> Taetia says, "I thought they were supposed to go on three.."

Taetia throws a rock at one.

Taetia rolled 9d10: 4, 2, 2, 2, 7, 8, 9, 6, 8; totalling 48.

Naphtali has received your page: "Don't know, yet. I'm supposed to find out

my schedule in the next few days, but I don't know it, yet..."

<OOC> Taetia says, "Whats damage on a rock?"

<OOC> Taetia says, "Str+1, isn't it?"

(remotely) Naphtali nods. Just wondering.

<OOC> AlMarth says, "throwing a rock at a rock?"

Eclipse [to Taetia]: Yes.

Taetia rolled 8d10: 10, 8, 8, 6, 7, 1, 1, 1; totalling 42.

Naphtali has received your page: "I'll let you know when I know."

<OOC> Taetia says, "Oh. My. God."

<OOC> Taetia says, "Can I reroll that?"

<OOC> Rahab twitches.

Naphtali pages, "Cool. Where'd you get a job at, if I can inquire?"

<OOC> Taetia says, "2 damage.."

Eclipse [to Taetia]: Which one are you throwing it at?

<OOC> AlMarth says, "A rock is more effective than my eggbeater!? That isn't

right"

<OOC> Koi says, "you have a strength of 7?"

<OOC> Taetia says, "Wysp."

<OOC> Koi says, "wow"

<OOC> Taetia says, "No. Succ is added, remember?"

Naphtali has received your page: "The Stick Oven."

<OOC> Taetia says, "@bonks Koi."

<OOC> Koi says, "to a rock throw?"

<OOC> Taetia says, "Yup."

You say, "Taetia throws the rock. It hits the statue of Wysp squarely in the

back of its head and bounces away harmlessly."

Eclipse [to Koi]: Go.

<OOC> Koi says, "So...say when you hit someone with a sap. you str + 1 +

successes?"

<OOC> Taetia says, "I just can't believe that roll. 5 succ, then 3! ones."

<OOC> Oriana says, "-1 succ to target"

<OOC> Koi says, "Well yes."

Naphtali pages, "Sounds... interesting.... Do you mind chatting, or is it too

hectic? I should go to bed.. (was up all night with the youth at a lock-in

last night... still haven't caught up on sleep due to an interview at Stone

Computers (a computer retailer here at FW) where I might end up being a tech

on Sats."

<OOC> Koi thinks he'll grab a sword, I mean, what's the point to Do?

Taetia pages, "I'm going to do something after the battle.. mend fences, if

you will.."

<OOC> Koi says, "We have magic actions again?"

<OOC> Oriana agrees that Do had a lot more point before Revised came out...

<OOC> AlMarth says, "do the Do"

<OOC> Taetia says, "You can't take do away from someone unless they're willing

to cut pieces off"

<OOC> Oriana says, "Well there is that, but still..."

<OOC> Koi says, "So? I can do more damage with a bloody rock."

Eclipse [to Koi]: The point to Do is you can inflict LETHAL damage with a

weapon that CANNOT be taken from you...

<OOC> Taetia says, "Errr.. you're.."

<OOC> Taetia says, "Who's turn is it?"

<OOC> Koi says, "So I knock them out with the rock first...then kill them ;)"

<OOC> Oriana laughs

Eclipse [to Koi]: Throw your stone, Koi...

<OOC> AlMarth says, "he has a point"

<OOC> AlMarth says, "And that is one of the many reasons why I dislike WOD

combat"

Koi holds his action, unless we have our magic actions back.

<OOC> Taetia says, "I like it actually.."

<OOC> Taetia says, "WHY? What are you HOLDING IT FOR? Next turn is a new

turn.."

You say, "Wysp turns down a corridor and continues to flee."

Eclipse [to Oriana]: Go.

Oriana waits

<OOC> Koi says, "because I'd do more damage to myself by punching it?"

You say, "There are no more statues left except the one in Taetia's mind..."

Eclipse [to Rahab]: Go.

<OOC> Rahab says, "No more statues? I wait for Koi."

You say, "Shall we consider this combat at an end, then?"

<OOC> Oriana says, "Sounds like a plan..."

<OOC> Taetia says, "Yes please."

<OOC> Rahab says, "Deargods it's 1 AM."

<OOC> AlMarth says, "Dear god YES"

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

You say, "Shall we consider this night at an end, as well?"

<OOC> Oriana says, "No problem."

army of kobolds."

<OOC> Oriana laughs

<OOC> Taetia says, "I'm surprised you guys accepted me back so readily."

<OOC> AlMarth says, "I enjoyed wandering aimlessly"

<OOC> Taetia ohdears

Eclipse removes his dragon medallion.

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

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

You are already out of character.

(remotely) Naphtali ponders... The Golems were immune to normal weapons,

weren't they?

You say, "Not bad for just running the wrong way by mistake, Taetia."

Naphtali has received your page: "Not immune. They automatically soaked 5 HL

of damage from normal attacks and 3 damage from non-aggravated magical

attacks."

<OOC> Oriana needs some sleep, now. Bye all.

<OOC> Koi says, "Night Oriana."

You say, "Good night, Beth."
