You have just entered room "Amaryllis New Dawn."

Adm H Sopko: Well, that answers my question

MysteryGiIgamesh: Yay s'more!

Quitesimplymad has entered the room.

SirAlextheFirst: Good evening

MysteryGiIgamesh: Hello.

Quitesimplymad: Hiya.

Adm H Sopko: ::Mesmorized by this One Piece dance video::

SirAlextheFirst: Well, night, actually.

Chromeus18: i thought you forgot Alex >_>

MysteryGiIgamesh: One Piece?

MysteryGiIgamesh: I love that manga. :D

SirAlextheFirst: Noo. Didn'tcha see the away message?

MysteryGiIgamesh: He was getting evaluated.

Adm H Sopko: They made it into an anime

MysteryGiIgamesh: I know they did.

MysteryGiIgamesh: I still like the manga better, heh.

SirAlextheFirst: Our improv group was getting evaluated.

SirAlextheFirst: We won! We won!

MysteryGiIgamesh: Yay.

MysteryGiIgamesh: Now celebrate by hosting!

SirAlextheFirst: Well, not won exactly, but passed

Adm H Sopko: A very good one. I downloaded a video called Jango's Dance Carnival... I've come to the decision that all anime needs a good dance sequence

SirAlextheFirst: Anyways

Adm H Sopko: Which is odd because I hate to dance

MysteryGiIgamesh: Heh.

SirAlextheFirst: To recap, the caravan has been stopped temporarily

SirAlextheFirst: Three odd mounted archers came in, got beat up, but killed Called. Two of them got away.

Quitesimplymad: How can you hate dancing?

SirAlextheFirst: Eriko is playing her lovely little llama flute.

Adm H Sopko: ...

Adm H Sopko: ::Snickers::

SirAlextheFirst: The caravan's contents were discovered to be a bunch of nicely laid out and embalmed corpses.

SirAlextheFirst: And it was more or less said that the caravan is going on to Mortok.

SirAlextheFirst: Rebeginagain.

Adm H Sopko: Soppy's in the driver's seat!

Chromeus18: is Gil joining?

Chromeus18: *puts on Jerry suit*

Adm H Sopko: ::Hops IC::

MysteryGiIgamesh: (I don't know. Am I "here" yet?)

Quitesimplymad: >Changes from the Quiet guy to the Quieter guy.

SirAlextheFirst: Nope, Gil's character is not here. Yet.

Chromeus18: ok, i'm on my horse now, not about to pray with a buncha corpses

Quitesimplymad: And Roald and Quek are Llamas?

Adm H Sopko: ::Hunter gives the signal for the caravan to move forward again::

SirAlextheFirst: They are. As is Eriko.

Chromeus18: gogo!

SirAlextheFirst: This is the next morning?

Chromeus18: yeah it was night wasn't it?

Adm H Sopko: I'm guessing... you said to start off where we left))

SirAlextheFirst: We stopped in the evening.

Chromeus18: let's rest, so the healer can do his job and gogo next morning

SirAlextheFirst: Resting for the night then, everyone regains all HP, and the next morning we move onwards

Quitesimplymad: All HP?

SirAlextheFirst: Yes.

Quitesimplymad: O...k...

Chromeus18: they were only missing 1 >_>

SirAlextheFirst: Because everyone was only missing a couple

Quitesimplymad: Ok.

Chromeus18: so let's continue

Chromeus18: drive Soppy drive!

SirAlextheFirst: The caravan proceeds.

Chromeus18: *whistles a song on the way*

Adm H Sopko: ::Meanwhile, Soppy err... Hunter tries to figure out a way to cross the border without papers:: ~Obviously, Called would've been able to, but will it still work with them?~

Adm H Sopko: ((Without him even))

Chromeus18: *to one of the drivers* "How much further till Mortok, lad?"

SirAlextheFirst: *IM intro with Gil. Y'all RP*

Quitesimplymad: (For fun's sake, you're talking to me.)

Quitesimplymad: Why not just sneak across?

Chromeus18: "Eh? Sneak across?"

Adm H Sopko: "With a caravan like this? Are you nuts, sir? This would get spotted in an instant"

Quitesimplymad: (How large is this, again?)

SirAlextheFirst: The caravan is 25 wagons long.

Chromeus18: "Methinks Hunter is right, we've quite a gravytrain to carry. We can get in though, no worries lads!"

Chromeus18: did any of the drivers answer my question?

Adm H Sopko: "I'm hoping you're right, Jerry. I've been on one too many caravans to have all that much hope though"

SirAlextheFirst: The drivers do not respond.

Quitesimplymad: "Split it up. 5 wagons in 5 groups. Each of us has had experience guarding caravans before. We could each take one across and Rendezvous 'cross the border."

Quitesimplymad: "These guys'll listen to whatever you tell them, anyhow."

Adm H Sopko: "That is true, but something tells me that Called was able to get across without needing papers. Maybe Silva has a deal with the governments? That wouldn't make much sense though..."

Chromeus18: "I don't personally like the idea of sneakin' around anyhow...."

Quitesimplymad: "Maybe CALLED was able to, but yeh ain't the same man"

Chromeus18: "Tiyrael walks with us! No need to worry laddies!"

Adm H Sopko: "I'm thinking it wasn't just called, but the group as a whole. It's not all that uncommon. Groups like the Gooms and Yarovians can typically go into their main countries without being searched"

Chromeus18: "With the cargo we're carrying, I'd say we're expected anyhow"

Adm H Sopko: ::He nods to Jerry:: "Yes... that would be another thing..."

Chromeus18: "Does anyone know how much further till Mortok? I'm starting to get saddlesores on me bum"

Quitesimplymad: "With the cargo we're carryin' I don't much WANT to be expected."

SirAlextheFirst: Up and over the rolling hills we go, and over the next one, about a mile off, you can see the border checkpoint.

Chromeus18: "Aye, there she be!"

Adm H Sopko: ::He laughs a little:: "Couldn't be too much further." ::After Alex:: "Ah! There we go. Now all we have to do is pray to the gods. Should be simple enough..."

MysteryGiIgamesh: *a lone man is walking upon the path*

Adm H Sopko: ((Is he in the middle of the road?))

MysteryGiIgamesh: *he begins to slowly approach the caravan, noticably hesitant* (Off to the side, really.)

Chromeus18: *when close* "H'lo there traveler, tis not safe to be walkin' the roads alone."

Adm H Sopko: ::Hunter proceeds on, not minding the simple traveler::

MysteryGiIgamesh: *he looks up at the man (a man?), nodding sliently*

Chromeus18: (dwarf, to be exact, so you prolly look at eye level considering i'm on a horse >_>)

MysteryGiIgamesh: (I'm pretty tall for what I am...)

MysteryGiIgamesh: *his face is twisted slightly, as if within deep thought*

MysteryGiIgamesh: *his brow is creased, a few strands of hair dangling over it*

Chromeus18: (ah, the deep brooding stranger approach!)

SirAlextheFirst: (brb, go on)

MysteryGiIgamesh: *he stands roughly 6'3, in dark, earthen colored clothing, with long, dark hair that is down nearly to his shoulders. it's apparently not too well kept, as if he's spent quite a while upon the dusty roads*

MysteryGiIgamesh: *he wears a simple, dark colored long-sleeved shirt, over which is a well oiled breast of leather, fitted with hundred's of tiny stud's*

Chromeus18: "Ye look to be troubled stranger, care to vent to a man of Tiyrael?"

MysteryGiIgamesh: *a bow dangles rather carelessly over his shoulder, and a short sword hangs off a thick, sturdy-looking belt*

MysteryGiIgamesh: *he looks up at the dwarven man again, nodding slowly*

Chromeus18: "Tiyrael is listening whene'er yer ready" *nods back*

MysteryGiIgamesh: "If....." *he hesitates, running his hands over the thick wood of the caravan* "I may be so bold to ask...What....Exactly are you carrying?"

MysteryGiIgamesh: *he looks downward to the soil* "An earthen smell..."

SirAlextheFirst: (back)

MysteryGiIgamesh: *he closes his eyes slowly, as if trying to remember something, breathing deeply in*

Chromeus18: *cocks an eyebrow* "I dunna know what business that is of yours, necessarily, but we be bound for Mortok"

MysteryGiIgamesh: *as he slowly exhales, he opens his light blue eyes, staring at the dwarven man* "It....Isn't really....My buisness..."

MysteryGiIgamesh: "Just....Call it.....Deja vu, of a sort...."

Chromeus18: "Do ye have a name, cryptic one?"

MysteryGiIgamesh: *he nods, slowly* "I'm...Not exaclty...Well....Cryptic...And, my name is....Jacynth."

MysteryGiIgamesh: "It's just.....We....Don't dream, and....When a dream is made within....The bounds of reality, it's a cause....For pause."

Chromeus18: "Ye be pretty cryptic, I think....."

Chromeus18: "And I pray that Tiyrael understands your words, cuz I dunna think I do"

MysteryGiIgamesh: *he frowns slightly* "Wasn't my...Intent....As it were..."

Adm H Sopko: ::Just continues along with the caravan, not much to do until they reach the checkpoint:

MysteryGiIgamesh: *he raises a hand to the side of his head, scratching what must be an itch, his hair being swept back slightly as he does so, revealing an ear that ends in a point...*

Chromeus18: "Well uh... where ye be headed Jacynth?"

MysteryGiIgamesh: "I....Don't rightly know....And, I know....This won't exactly sound....Well, like anything, but...."

MysteryGiIgamesh: "Would you believe.....I'm waiting...For you...?"

Quitesimplymad: <Would he WANT us to?>

Chromeus18: "Waiting for us? Why?"

Chromeus18: *hand eases toward his sword*

MysteryGiIgamesh: "As I said....We don't.....Dream....But....When a dream is matched by reality....By someone who has not a right....To dream....You tend....To just follow...And..."

MysteryGiIgamesh: "I mean....No harm...Please.....No weapons are needed..."

Chromeus18: "Can ye not speak proper-like lad?"

MysteryGiIgamesh: (Well....It;'s how he speaks...Think of it as him pausing in mid-sentence to think about what to say next, heh.)

MysteryGiIgamesh: "Well.....I've always talked like this....I suppose...."

Adm H Sopko: ::Sopko idly begins to wonder if the checkpoint is magically staying at the horizon::

MysteryGiIgamesh: "What I mean....Is.......We....Don't dream....We don't even....Well, sleep......"

Chromeus18: "Hmmm..... I still don't know what ye're gettin at. You saw us in a dream, but ye don't dream?"

MysteryGiIgamesh: *nods*

Quitesimplymad: (Pssssycho.)

SirAlextheFirst: The checkpoint is indeed staying at the horizon. The horses pulling your wagon seem to have stopped.

Chromeus18: "Have you been to the Temple of Tiyrael in Asgard? Perhaps they can help you there..."

Adm H Sopko: ::Hunter blinks as he finally notices:: "What?! I must've been daydreaming or something..." ::He tries to get the horses to go::

MysteryGiIgamesh: *shakes his head* "No...I know...How odd all of this is....But...I'd think.....I need to follow you..."

SirAlextheFirst: The horses will not move.

Adm H Sopko: ::Hunter sighs and leans his head back against the carriage:: "Just great."

MysteryGiIgamesh: *he runs his hand over the rough wooden planks of the wagons once more, slowly sweeping his fingertips over it*

Chromeus18: "To be honest, ye creep me out a little... I suggest ye get yerself to a temple, and I suppose ye can tag along if'n it pleases ye"

MysteryGiIgamesh: *he nods* "Thank you..."

Chromeus18: (the random animals start chanting "Jerry! Jerry! Jerry!")

Quitesimplymad: "Woah woah woah...."

Adm H Sopko: ::He hops down off the driver's seat and walks to Jerry, not minding the newcomer:: "Something has the horses spooked. They're not moving"

Chromeus18: can the horses move now?

MysteryGiIgamesh: "And I know...You have all right to be.....Unsetteled....I would be too.....But.....All of this unsettles me as.....Well...."

Quitesimplymad: "Yer for letting him come along?!"

Adm H Sopko: "What? Who's coming along?" ::Looks to the newcomer:: "You?

Adm H Sopko: "

Chromeus18: "Spooked, eh?"

MysteryGiIgamesh: *nods to the person looking at him*

Quitesimplymad: "Hunter, this ain't right. I don't much trust him"

Chromeus18: "And I cannot in good right leave this man to himself in the wild considering his... intricacies"

Adm H Sopko: ::He nods to the stranger then turns to Jerry again:: "Strangest thing... I could've sworn we were moving, but it seemed like the checkpoint was staying on the horizon. Then I finally noticed we were stopped."

Chromeus18: "We'll just get 'im to a Temple when we can"

MysteryGiIgamesh: "Well.....I mostly....Live within the wild....Sir..."

MysteryGiIgamesh: "It does not.....Bother me much......"

Adm H Sopko: ::Turns back to the stranger once again, looking up to him:: "What is your name, sir?"

Quitesimplymad: "He might be the one sending us to the temple."

MysteryGiIgamesh: "Jacynth...."

Chromeus18: "Ye don't say. Anyways, maybe somethin' can help these 'ere horses out"

Adm H Sopko: "Jacynth...?"

MysteryGiIgamesh: *nods*

Adm H Sopko: "No surname?"

MysteryGiIgamesh: "Jacynth....Dornkirk."

Chromeus18: is there a fairly obvious reason the horses aren't moving?

SirAlextheFirst: Nope

MysteryGiIgamesh: (Because the GM wills it so!)

Chromeus18: i.e. great gold wyrms eating them?

MysteryGiIgamesh: (Heh.)

Adm H Sopko: "Ah. Well, Mr. Jacynth Dornkirk. In a caravan, the more the better, I say. It doesn't appear like you pose a threat to us, so if you desire to come with us, go right ahead." ::Just be thankful Sop hadn't heard about

Chromeus18: *goes and pets the lead horse*

Adm H Sopko: the dream::

MysteryGiIgamesh: *walks over the to horses*

MysteryGiIgamesh: *strokes the back of thier neck, and leans in to whisper something into thier ears....*

MysteryGiIgamesh: (Wild Empathy roll.)

Chromeus18: "There there now, lads, let's be on our way, eh?"

*OnlineHost*: MysteryGiIgamesh rolled 1 20-sided die: 2

MysteryGiIgamesh: (...A mighty 3.)

*OnlineHost*: SirAlextheFirst rolled 1 20-sided die: 5

SirAlextheFirst: The horse does nothing,

Adm H Sopko: "Sure... if we can get the horses to move..." ::Heads back to the driver's seat:

Chromeus18: (i'm talkin to the horse :P)

MysteryGiIgamesh: (So am I, heh.(

Chromeus18: (shoulda picked new spells >_>)

MysteryGiIgamesh: *whispers a few more things*

Adm H Sopko: ((As if Sopko notices<G>))

MysteryGiIgamesh: (Possibly to try again?)

SirAlextheFirst: Driver #13 speaks, softly. "Take your seat."

Quitesimplymad: To Hunter: "[Yeh can't be serious. He doesn't seem a bit suspicious to you?]"?

MysteryGiIgamesh: (Mm..Retries for this are as Diplomacy, and retries on Diplomacy is a DM's decision for retries.)

MysteryGiIgamesh: (So....Possible to try again, or no?)

SirAlextheFirst: (No,)

MysteryGiIgamesh: (Okay.)

MysteryGiIgamesh: *steps away from the horses*

Adm H Sopko: "Hm? Well... a little... but what could it hurt to bring him along? The horses won't move right now anyway"

Chromeus18: "Hmmmm...."

Quitesimplymad: "[And when they do, yeh think it'd be the wiser thing to do? He seems ensorcled, or perhaps not even Human. Or Elven. Whatever.]"

Quitesimplymad: "[Yeh combine that with our cargo, and things don't rightly line up. This is insane.]"

Chromeus18: *touches the horse gently and chants a small prayer*

Chromeus18: Protection from Evil in the offchance it helps!

Adm H Sopko: "Something definately is amiss here, I'll give you that... we've been sitting here in the sight of the checkpoint for a while now and the border guards haven't even signaled us"

Chromeus18: Alex?

MysteryGiIgamesh: (Just for the record, I'm an elf. Wood elf, if you want specifics. ^_^)

SirAlextheFirst: The drivers sit patiently, and the horses stand.

SirAlextheFirst: And nothing happens at the checkpoint.

MysteryGiIgamesh: *begins to take a few steps forward, towards the checkpoint*

Chromeus18: *mounts his horse again* "Try now, Hunter."

Adm H Sopko: ::Shrugs and gives the signal to move forward::

MysteryGiIgamesh: *stops in his tracks*

MysteryGiIgamesh: *turns, and looks up at the wagons* "Is...."

SirAlextheFirst: Nothing

Chromeus18: "BAH!"

Adm H Sopko: ::Anime crashes::

Chromeus18: *jumps off the horse*

MysteryGiIgamesh: "It possible I....Can take a....Seat? I've been....Walking quite.....Quite far..."

Adm H Sopko: ::Turns to Jacynth:: "Sure. Take the seat here next to me. I'd like to speak with you, if possible"

MysteryGiIgamesh: *nods* "Thank you..."

MysteryGiIgamesh: *he moves towards the wagon, hefting himself into the empty spot*

SirAlextheFirst: The horses start walking forward.

Chromeus18: "Perhaps we should ride ahead and inform the guards that we're here, nonetheless"

Chromeus18: ".......or not"

Adm H Sopko: ::Hunter sighs as the horses move forward:: ~This does not bode well with me...~

Chromeus18: *continues onward*

Adm H Sopko: ::He turns to Jacynth:: "So what brings you to this road, stranger?"

MysteryGiIgamesh: "I said so...Before...."

MysteryGiIgamesh: *he rests slightly hunched over, his elbows upon his knee's*

Quitesimplymad: "<This is daft!>"

SirAlextheFirst: And the checkpoint comes up on ya

Adm H Sopko: "I apologize if I am making you repeat yourself. I was up here the entire time"

Quitesimplymad: "<He comes aboard, and everything's suddenly fine?>"

MysteryGiIgamesh: "It's......Not really....Something I know how to....Explain..."

Quitesimplymad: <He's baiting us>

Adm H Sopko: "Hold that thought." ::Hunter hops down from the driver's seat with the sealed document in his pocket to speak with the guards::

MysteryGiIgamesh: *nods*

Quitesimplymad: <I won't let him out of my sight>

SirAlextheFirst: The guards look up as Hunter approaches, and stand at arms, waiting for him to speak first.

Adm H Sopko: the ::Hunter has been through this many times before, so he goes through it as usual:: "Greetings. This caravan is with the Yaro... ::Chuckles a bit:: I mean Silva Enterprises. We are bound for the city of Mortok." ::He

Adm H Sopko: shows him the outside of the sealed document, which has the official Silva seal on it. He takes in a breath before he goes on, praying to Gabriel in his mind:: "I suppose you will be wanting a look at our cargo... so if

SirAlextheFirst: The guards wave you onwards and go back to their posts.

Adm H Sopko: you'll just follow me, gentlemen..." ::He motions to the caravan, holding his breath slightly::

SirAlextheFirst: Yes, before you finish your speech.

Chromeus18: "That was simple enough."

Adm H Sopko: ::Doesn't push his luck, and finishes like he's done it a million times:: "Thank you." ::He heads back to the driver's seat and gives the signal to continue::

Chromeus18: onward, to oblivion!

SirAlextheFirst: And onwards we roll.

MysteryGiIgamesh: (Transform, and roll out!)

Adm H Sopko: ::Once he has his bearings back, he turns to Jacynth again:: "Anyway, sir. You were saying?"

MysteryGiIgamesh: "...Where did I leave....Off...?"

SirAlextheFirst: Nothing else eventful happens that day. So tell me when you're done.

Adm H Sopko: "You said something about not being able to explain it well"

Chromeus18: *just travels*

MysteryGiIgamesh: "Oh....Yes...."

MysteryGiIgamesh: "I really don't....Know how to explain it....At all..."

Adm H Sopko: "Do your best, Mr. Jacynth. I am a patient man"

MysteryGiIgamesh: "It started.....With a dream....But we do not dream.....So....What it would be....What to call....It....I do not know..."

Chromeus18: "It's a bit hard on the brain when you try to comprehend it..."

Adm H Sopko: ::Shoots a look to Jerry as Jac is trying to talk, then turns back attentively:: "A daydream is the word you're thinking of, perhaps?"

MysteryGiIgamesh: *shakes his head slowly, his hair moving with the motion* "No..."

MysteryGiIgamesh: "I was....Within my trance......So.....I was not awake....But, not....Asleep, for.....It is not as sleep is, to you...."

Adm H Sopko: "I sort of understand. Please, go on."

MysteryGiIgamesh: "The dream.......I recall it.....Easly enough......"

MysteryGiIgamesh: *Easily

Adm H Sopko: "Go right ahead then"

MysteryGiIgamesh: "A long caravan........Rough, wooden things......Coming from over a.....Sunrise...Heading towards......Dark skies...."

MysteryGiIgamesh: "An earthen smell.....Around it all.....But not....."

MysteryGiIgamesh: "Not earthen....Like fresh soil........More like.....A fresh......Fresh grave..."

Adm H Sopko: ::Begins to get a biot unnerved by the vague accuracy of it, but keeps listening::

MysteryGiIgamesh: "The caravan passed......By, pillar's of light......Intermixed with the blackest....Of the deepest....Of darknesses...Within the seats..."

MysteryGiIgamesh: "And ahead....Within the sky.....A pentagon shines within.....This darkness.....Five points.....of light..."

MysteryGiIgamesh: "It sat.....Deep within the sky.....At the very....Border.....And, that is all...."

MysteryGiIgamesh: *he sits up slightly, leaning back, and inhaling deeply* "This caravan.....It carried that.....That same smell...."

Adm H Sopko: ::He blinks as he finishes, not knowing what to make of it or what to say::

MysteryGiIgamesh: "And....The same look....The same numbers...."

Adm H Sopko: "Well... you have that right... about the vague smell of death. Would you like to know the cargo?"

MysteryGiIgamesh: *he exhales slowly* "I could.....possibly guess...."

MysteryGiIgamesh: "There is but.....One thing within....This world, that carries that.....That smell....."

Chromeus18: *just shakes his head in confusion*

Quitesimplymad: <He's gone totally daft!>

Adm H Sopko: "You would be right. It came as a shock to us, though. Embalmed bodies. All 25 of them hold them"

MysteryGiIgamesh: *he nods in agreement* "Bodies..."

MysteryGiIgamesh: (Gee. I'm not trying to be mysterious or mystic, but I think I am. o_O)

Adm H Sopko: ((You kick ass)

MysteryGiIgamesh: (Not bad for a guy with no magical powers...)

MysteryGiIgamesh: (Thanks, heh. ^_^ii)

Quitesimplymad: (Well, you've given my character a purpose.)

MysteryGiIgamesh: (Cool.)

Quitesimplymad: (Granted, that's going to be following you around and generally making your life more difficult, but hell.)

MysteryGiIgamesh: "So......"

MysteryGiIgamesh: (Making my life difficult is impossible. Just being a PC means I'm bound for trouble. ^_~)

Adm H Sopko: "Well... thats quite a... whatever that was. I can only imagine what could've made you have something like that." ~Heh! Only imagine... I know exactly what made this happen.~

MysteryGiIgamesh: "I do not....Know what could....Have made it occur..."

MysteryGiIgamesh: "It....Unsettles me...."

Chromeus18: "Mayhaps it's simply the will of Tiyrael!"

Adm H Sopko: "It would unsettle anyone, sir." ~Unsettled me damn well~

MysteryGiIgamesh: (I'm like a towering giant for an elf, y'know. o_o Not many elves break 5'9, and here I am at 6'3. Whoo!)

MysteryGiIgamesh: *he nods in agreement*

MysteryGiIgamesh: "I don't exactly....Expect anyone much to trust me at this point.....If I were in....The reverse position, I....Would not give myself much trust..."

MysteryGiIgamesh: "But.....Something wanted me here....So....Here I am,...."

Chromeus18: "Aslong as there's no funny business, there's no worries, lad!"

MysteryGiIgamesh: "I give my word.....That I shall not....Cause trouble..."

MysteryGiIgamesh: "So, you need....Not worry..."

Adm H Sopko: ::He nods:: "Well, I for one trust you. I have my reasons, don't get me wrong. Just try not to arouse suspicion in my new compatriots. They're a tad less trusting than I am."

Chromeus18: "One doesn't worry when they walk in the light of Tiyrael."

Chromeus18: "Should've asked those guards how much longer it is to Mortok..."

MysteryGiIgamesh: *he reclines in his seat, sitting back, letting his head just bob along with the road*

Adm H Sopko: "Shouldn't be too far..." (Alex?)

MysteryGiIgamesh: *he closes his eyes, and just relaxes*

SirAlextheFirst: If you continue at this rate, you'll reach Mortok sometime late tomorrow.

Adm H Sopko: ((Well, you said nothing happens for the rest of the day, and to tell you when we were done here... sooo)

Chromeus18: we continue on then!

Chromeus18: and i won't say anything to require Alex to make us fight anything

SirAlextheFirst: Yep.

Chromeus18: so we continue on to Mortok?

SirAlextheFirst: Yep!

SirAlextheFirst: After all that weirdness... absolutely nothing unusual happens the rest of the way.

Adm H Sopko: Wheee

SirAlextheFirst: Unless you count never seeing another traveler as weird.

Quitesimplymad: I just blame the new guy.

MysteryGiIgamesh: (I bet all of these bodies are for the local necrophiliac festival.)

Chromeus18: *in Mortok* "So Hunter.... those documents say anything about where we be delivering our 'cargo' to?"

SirAlextheFirst: And so it is that the next afternoon, the caravan arrives in Mortok, indeed.

Quitesimplymad: (Nonsense.)

Quitesimplymad: (It's Necrophile)

MysteryGiIgamesh: (Yes, and the plural is necrophiliac's. :P)

Adm H Sopko: "No clue whatsoever. We could always ask one of the drivers"

MysteryGiIgamesh: (Necrophilia: Because everyone loves a good stiff one.)

SirAlextheFirst: Driver #14: "We know nothing about the cargo's destination, other than Mortok."

Chromeus18: "Well!"

Adm H Sopko: ((They're answering the want adds for "Good Zombie Soliders Needed"))

Chromeus18: "We can't rightly just leave them on the ground..... "

MysteryGiIgamesh: (Hehe.)

Chromeus18: is there a temple in Mortok?

SirAlextheFirst: Most certainly.

Adm H Sopko: ::He sighs:: "Well thats pretty obvious now, isn't it? Would splitting up to search be an option?"

SirAlextheFirst: There are temples in every major city.

Chromeus18: "Let's head for the temple, they should be responsible for burials and the such"

SirAlextheFirst: As for Mortok itself, tis a fairly nice place. The inhabitants are friendly, if often inhuman, and nod and wave to you all frequently.

Adm H Sopko: "Well, I guess thats as good an idea as any." ::Waves the caravan on, making sure to take notice of people's reactions as they go::

SirAlextheFirst: And so to the temple?

Adm H Sopko: Yep

Chromeus18: are there lots of Orcpies around? :P

SirAlextheFirst: Indeed there are, Chrome. Indeed there are.

Quitesimplymad: "Does anyone else see the problem with delivering a full supply of corpses to a temple, without any sort of explanation?"

Chromeus18: "Well, I imagine we could ship them all to the local butcher if that seems any less strange"

Adm H Sopko: "You're not the only one, trust me. I'm unsettled by this whole situation, but I'm doing my best to cope"

Quitesimplymad: "I think a butcher would ask less questions."

Chromeus18: "I'm sure there's an explanation, let's just get there so we can hear it"

MysteryGiIgamesh: "I......"

SirAlextheFirst: The drivers are silent, as nearly always.

Chromeus18: onward to the temple!

MysteryGiIgamesh: "Think it would......Be best....." *he says, never opening his eyes, or even moving from his position*

Adm H Sopko: ::Turns to Jac as he speaks:: "Best to what?"

MysteryGiIgamesh: "If we.....Kept a profile......Low.....With cargo such....As this..."

Adm H Sopko: "You're probably right, but a 25 wagon caravan is kinda tough to hide, my friend"

Chromeus18: "We just best not be spoutin off what we be carrying"

Quitesimplymad: "How do we intend to deliver it without telling them what's inside? Knock on the door and run"?

SirAlextheFirst: Mortok is the closest large community to Sithicus, and the temples here reflect that. They're quite large and subdued yet victorious in style. Particularly the one of Gabriel.

SirAlextheFirst: The priests outside notice you all pulling up, and their leader approaches, lest there be any objections

Chromeus18: "SOMEONE's expecting this, and a Temple is the only logical choice."

Chromeus18: *hops off his horse*

Adm H Sopko: ::Hunter orders the caravan to stop::

Quitesimplymad: <No good may come of this.>

Chromeus18: "Greetings! Me name is Jerriford Stullbin" *extends a hand*

SirAlextheFirst: "Welcome, travelers. How goes the day with thee?" *shakes Jerriford's hand*

Adm H Sopko: ((Why are all Dwarfs scottish?))

Chromeus18: (mine's not scottish, he's uhhh..... irish)

SirAlextheFirst: (Because the British dwarves lost the war)

Chromeus18: "Quite well, indeed. Ye be expecting some cargo?"

Adm H Sopko: ((Witty, Alex.)) ::Hunter watches as the priest converses with Jerry::

SirAlextheFirst: *blinks* "Er.... no, actually. What do you hav-er, what hast thou brought?"

Adm H Sopko: "Would you happen to know where Silva Enterprises usually makes deliveries then?"

Quitesimplymad: "[I told yeh this wasn't a good idea.]"

Chromeus18: "Well I..... err... " *let's Hunter talk*

SirAlextheFirst: It appears the priest is either having a heart attack, or is greatly shocked by what you have just said, as he staggers back and turns pale white.

SirAlextheFirst: "What... tell me you're joking. You're joking. Right? Or lying?"

Adm H Sopko: ::Hunter leaps off the seat and to the priest:: "Are you alright, sir?!"

MysteryGiIgamesh: *he is still laid back, seemingly sleeping, but not*

Adm H Sopko: "No! We do not lie. Our caravan leader was killed on the journey here, and he held all the information on the delivery. This is everyone's first job with Silva"

Quitesimplymad: "[Bad, bad Idea.]"

Avatar of Soul has entered the room.

Adm H Sopko: ((::Poof, a llama comes alive::-))

Avatar of Soul: (Damn you, Beowulf! Damn you, Reis! I was so enthralled by your awesomeness I forgot the game!)

Adm H Sopko: ((::KICKS THE SMILEY:: ))

SirAlextheFirst: *looks at Hunter with a newfound confidence* "You shall not shake the faith of the priesthood of Gab- ..... what? .... what... was the name of this leader?"

MysteryGiIgamesh: (I thought Gorth wasn't in this? I guess he rejoined? Hi, Gorth.)

Avatar of Soul: (Hi.)

Avatar of Soul: (Whats happened?

Adm H Sopko: "His name was Called, good priest."

Chromeus18: "He was known as Called.... bless his poor soul.."

Quitesimplymad: (Gil's Character joined. He's creepy.)

SirAlextheFirst: (The caravan picked up another person, and made it to Mortok with no other unusual occurances whatsoever.)

Avatar of Soul: (Sounds nice)

Quitesimplymad: (Sopko and Chrome took our corpses to a church)

MysteryGiIgamesh: (Heh. Thanks. :P)

*OnlineHost*: SirAlextheFirst rolled 1 20-sided die: 11

SirAlextheFirst: The priest faints dead away.

Quitesimplymad: (I've been very afraid of all of this.)

Adm H Sopko: ::Sopko catches the priest as he falls::

Chromeus18: "Oh my..."

Adm H Sopko: "What is it with me and people fainting?"

Chromeus18: *looks to the other priests* "Do any of you know of Called?"

Adm H Sopko: ~Damn you, Jerry, I won't be able to catch them if they all faint!~

SirAlextheFirst: The rest of the priests are reacting similarly.

Chromeus18: well crap -_-

Avatar of Soul: *walks over to Jacynth* "...I'm sorry, I don't believe I was being polite earlier, something must have slipped my mind. My name is Queklain. What is yours?"

SirAlextheFirst: A few faint too, some whisper among each other, some hurry back into the temple, some start praying.

Adm H Sopko: ::Sighs:: ~Damn you, Lester... what have you gotten me into?"

Adm H Sopko: ~ even

MysteryGiIgamesh: *from his laid back position, he speaks* "I had.......Said......That this was....Not....A good....Idea..."

MysteryGiIgamesh: "*looks over at Quicklain* "I.....Am Jacynth...."

Avatar of Soul: (Queklain. Like from FFT)

Adm H Sopko: ::Hunter carries the fainted priest into the temple and lays him down carefully. He then walks up to a group of priests whispering among themselves:: "Perhaps you might be able to assist us?"

Avatar of Soul: "It is a pleasure to meet you."

MysteryGiIgamesh: (I know. I misspelled it. I always have.)

MysteryGiIgamesh: *nods*

Avatar of Soul: The elf, clad in all black, smiles at you, and offers his hand to shake.

Adm H Sopko: ((He is 3V1L 133T))

MysteryGiIgamesh: *he looks quizically at the hand, before extending his own, and shaking*

SirAlextheFirst: The priests seem reassured that you have entered the temple, and take the holy father's body away. They don't speak to you.

Chromeus18: "BAH! What else can we do now...."

Adm H Sopko: ::He looks around for some clue, or another group of priests::

SirAlextheFirst: Only one remains around, frightened yet fascinated by this strange caravan.

Avatar of Soul: His smile is contagious, and yet...

Adm H Sopko: ::He slowly approaches him, speaking to him first from afar as not to spook him:: "Good priest, may I have a word?"

SirAlextheFirst: "Sure. Looks like the others don't have the balls to talk to you, but I don't have a problem with it. True courage of Gabriel, y'know?"

Adm H Sopko: ::Hunter smiles, approaching the rest of the way with a jovial look on his face. He extends his hand to the priest:: "Of course!"

SirAlextheFirst: *shakes Hunter's hand*

Avatar of Soul: (Who just spoke? Some caravan dude? Some priest guy?)

Adm H Sopko: "So, I guess I'll just ask again. Do you know where Silva Enterprises makes its deliveries?"

SirAlextheFirst: "I'm honored to meet you, whoever you are."

SirAlextheFirst: (currently speaking: Young Priest With Balls)

Adm H Sopko: "The honor is all mine, priest of Gabriel."

SirAlextheFirst: "That may not be an appropriate choice of words. I'm guessing you didn't know who Called was, right? Other than a creepy guy who didn't like talking much?"

Adm H Sopko: "Pretty much"

Chromeus18: "I don't think any of us know him that much..... t'was the will of Tiyrael that I come on this journey."

Avatar of Soul: "Do you know of this man?"

Adm H Sopko: "I spoke with him a while during the journey... he told me a few cryptic things, but that is all"

SirAlextheFirst: "Well, do you know who Sir Throkk is to the church of Tiyreal? Yeah, you do, you're a priest of his. Huh. Well.... Called was like that, kinda, except to Gabriel. And not so big on the combat thing."

Chromeus18: "Oh my...."

Adm H Sopko: ::Hunter pales, more pieces connecting in his head::

Avatar of Soul: "...ouch. Big loss."

Quitesimplymad: <What!? And we let him die?>

SirAlextheFirst: "He goes all around carrying the bodies of the righteous dead to their preferred resting places, and running all sorts of errands. Or he used to."

Quitesimplymad: <Well, Fergie, yeh've made history, whether you wanted to or not.>

Chromeus18: "Well, that's what we have with us now"

Chromeus18: "Sadly, he is among them...."

Avatar of Soul: "Did he have a preferred resting spot planned?"

SirAlextheFirst: "They say Called had some sort of permanent spell up so only the righteous and chosen could notice him, and last I heard he was picking up some people in Asgard to take out on a journey somewhere."

Adm H Sopko: ::Hunter takes a step back, swaying on his feet a bit::

SirAlextheFirst: "Uh... beats me. I'm not THAT high up." *smiles and shrugs*

MysteryGiIgamesh: "Chosen....." *his voice is low, and barely a whisper*

Chromeus18: "That be us then, Brother.... dinnuh catch yer name, I dun think.."

SirAlextheFirst: "So anyways, it looks like y'all got him killed, which is supposed to be impossible, but yeah. How'd it happen?"

Quitesimplymad: "He fell"

SirAlextheFirst: "Will."

MysteryGiIgamesh: ("Oh, he can't die, but we somehow killed'em. Yeah, we rock.")

Quitesimplymad: (Sorry. That's the most ridiculous thing I could have said.)

Chromeus18: (that it is Fergus :P)

Quitesimplymad: (I can't resist comedy like that. Even if my character is supposed to.)

Avatar of Soul: (No, its not.)

SirAlextheFirst: "He... fell?"

Avatar of Soul: (You could have said something like... "Those lobsters he had didn't agree with him.")

Chromeus18: "Well....he.... also had an arrow lodged in 'is neck when he fell..."

MysteryGiIgamesh: (You should have told them he died of severe anal trauma.)

Quitesimplymad: (Ok. Mine was the most ridiculous TRUE statement.)

Adm H Sopko: "Yes... sort of. We were ambushed while in Asgard... it was a strange occurance in itself, but as they ambushers were riding away, one took a last shot with his bow at Called. He was struck in the neck and fell off the wagon,

Adm H Sopko: and was then run over..."

Chromeus18: ("then fell off the cliff into a pile of razor blades...")

Quitesimplymad: (And that's when the badgers came out.)

SirAlextheFirst: "Called got ambushed?"

Avatar of Soul: (He would have lived, but they were vampire badgers.)

Adm H Sopko: "Yes."

Avatar of Soul: (And even then, if they hadn't been on fire, he would have probably been ok with a few weeks bedrest)

Adm H Sopko: "They just seemed to... appear out of nowhere"

Chromeus18: "Twas very strange..... indeed"

SirAlextheFirst: (anyone know what's up with OK?)

Adm H Sopko: ((Shh... he might be getting laid. Don't bother him<G>))

Quitesimplymad: (Nope.)

Quitesimplymad: (And Nope.)

Avatar of Soul: (Anyhoo.)

SirAlextheFirst: "So, let me get this straight. You were just riding with Called. And people with bows appeared out of nowhere and shot Called, and ran away. And none of you got killed, just him."

Avatar of Soul: (Am I there?)

SirAlextheFirst: (No! You're outside, by the tavern!)

SirAlextheFirst: Yes, everyone's there

Chromeus18: "Right. Now what do we do with Called's shipment?"

Adm H Sopko: "Well, we fought them and were injured, even killed one of them, but Called was the only one killed"

SirAlextheFirst: "Did you bring back the body of the one you killed?"

SirAlextheFirst: "Please say yes."

Adm H Sopko: "We would have had it not disintegrated into less than dust"

Chromeus18: *shuffles his feet*

SirAlextheFirst: "And let me guess, you healed yourselves, too."

Adm H Sopko: "Yes. Why?"

Avatar of Soul: "In the dwarf's defense, he could do nothing for Called."

MysteryGiIgamesh: *he remain's motionless within his seat, just sitting back, eyes still closed, as he listens*

Avatar of Soul: "He did try, but he was too far gone."

Quitesimplymad: (Damn! I knew I should have taken that bow.)

SirAlextheFirst: "You guys are in a HEAP of trouble."

Adm H Sopko: "I still do have a scar on my side from the arrow wound, if that helps"

Quitesimplymad: <And that's why I'll be leaving.>

Quitesimplymad: <I guess I really don't have a chance of getting paid.>

SirAlextheFirst: "No, it doesn't. You coulda picked up an arrow scar anywhere."

Chromeus18: "I suppose Gabriel isn't happy with this development..."

Adm H Sopko: "And I suppose if we entered dripping blood it would've been different!"

Quitesimplymad: "Yeah, it'd be easier for them to kill us."

Avatar of Soul: *sighs*

Adm H Sopko: "You asked if we healed ourselves, implying that you could tell something from the wounds. But you disregard other evidence saying we could have gotten it elsewhere!"

SirAlextheFirst: "Yeah. Not much different, but somewhat so. Let me spell it out for you - your story sounds really, really bogus. The obvious assumption is that YOU killed Called."

Adm H Sopko: "I know how it sounds, but as GABRIEL as my witness, we did not kill him!"

Quitesimplymad: "I couldn't heh said it better myself. Nice thinking"

Avatar of Soul: "How could we, unless we were worthy and chosen?"

Avatar of Soul: "All is as fate has decreed it."

Quitesimplymad: (Wouldn't we be the EVIL chosen, if we killed Called?)

Chromeus18: "Absurd! You question a man of Tiyrael??"

Adm H Sopko: ((An RPG about villains...)

Avatar of Soul: *coughs not too loudly*

Avatar of Soul: (that should have been in parenthesis.)

Avatar of Soul: (Doh!)

SirAlextheFirst: "No such thing as fate, dude. That's out of the book of Nellix, but still true. Everyone's got free choice. Chosen people have refused missions in the past for one reason or another."

Quitesimplymad: (Actually, OK has been in the other chat, for some time.)

Quitesimplymad: (He says he's sick.)

SirAlextheFirst: (Don't bother OK any more. I've talked with him now)

Avatar of Soul: "Even if there is no fate, human nature is equally binding. If he was truly a chosen of gabriel, he could have faked his death."

Quitesimplymad: (I didn't bother him at all. Just saw that he was there.)

Chromeus18: "I dunna believe this..."

MysteryGiIgamesh: *he speaks up, slowly, still not moving an inch save his lips* "Will....."

Avatar of Soul: "I refuse to believe a chosen of a god could be so easily destroyed, by something as petty as the wheels on a caravan."

MysteryGiIgamesh: "If they....Had truely done harm.....To this....Called....Why would they......Still come bearing....The bodies of those so reveared.....?"

SirAlextheFirst: *looks at Queklain for a moment* "Man, I have no clue what you're trying to say. But anyways. I'm not judging y'all - you look pretty sincere to me. But this whole business is really whacked out."

Avatar of Soul: (He's... a hippy...)

Avatar of Soul: (....must fight off urges to kill him!)

Quitesimplymad: (If you're evil, you'll kill him, and Coup de Grace the rest.)

SirAlextheFirst: "How'd you come in with all those wagons, anyways?"

Chromeus18: "Judgment will come.... eventually..."

Adm H Sopko: "Funny thing, actually... Called hired us in Asgard"

Quitesimplymad: (Create a diversion, so Hunter and Jerri don't see.)

Adm H Sopko: ~I suppose telling them I ran into Gabriel the night before might be a bit much...~

Avatar of Soul: (Hey look! A naked demon asking to be slain!)

Quitesimplymad: (A succubus, even!)

Avatar of Soul: (I say naked, hunter looks over there cause he isn't a cleric. I say demon so Jerri has to smite him!)

SirAlextheFirst: (Oh, another wee piece of history I forgot. Succubi aren't demons anymore. They're pretty rare, and serve Luthien and Gabriel.)

Quitesimplymad: (O_o

Quitesimplymad: (Jesus Christ, I want to be a priest.)

Adm H Sopko: ((Ahhh Gabriel. The Zeus of Amaryllis))

MysteryGiIgamesh: (Whoo hoo! Super slut not-demons!)

Avatar of Soul: (...well there goes all of Queklain's plans. Are there still at least a FEW evil succubi?)

Avatar of Soul: (Enough OOC for me, back to character)

SirAlextheFirst: (Maybe. They were all offered a chance at redemption because of Lan and Nividea, all of em took it - or all that we know of)

MysteryGiIgamesh: *he inhales deeply once again, exhaloing slowly as he speaks* "Should you not.....Inter those....Who deserve it? Leaving....Thier bodies out like this.....Is disrespectful......If it not...?"

Adm H Sopko: ((DUN DUN DUN! ::BIC:: ))

MysteryGiIgamesh: *exhaling

SirAlextheFirst: " Beats me. I'd have to ask the father about it."

MysteryGiIgamesh: "Then.....You should ask.....Should you not?"

Adm H Sopko: ::Hunter smirks as Will doesn't respond to his statement:: "Will, to answer your question. We were hired by Called in Asgard"

SirAlextheFirst: *to Jacynth* "Right on." *listens to Hunter*

Avatar of Soul: *suddenly smiles*

Avatar of Soul: <So, I, Queklain, long a despiser of the good and holy, am considered worthy in their eyes. I am both amused, and intrigued.>

Chromeus18: "What amuses you so much, lad?" *to Quek*

Avatar of Soul: <That makes sense, thats how that man saw the tattoo. I wonder why he didn't comment on it.>

Avatar of Soul: "I am thinking of pleasant memories of my old love."

Avatar of Soul: *shakes head, but continues smiling*

Quitesimplymad: (That reminds me of my goat.)

MysteryGiIgamesh: "..............Love........................................................... ........"

Chromeus18: "Ah i see."

Avatar of Soul: "What is it, Jacynth?"

SirAlextheFirst: *still looks like he's awaiting an answer*

MysteryGiIgamesh: "For one.....Young as yet, we.....Are within this world.....To have an old love.....Is an accomplishment..."

Avatar of Soul: "I am over a hundred years old, my friend."

Adm H Sopko: "What else do you want to know? We've told you how we all got mixed up in this!"

Quitesimplymad: (He's an elf, dude. He should have had, like, 12.)

Quitesimplymad: (Or more. Not too keen on Medieval mythical numbers.)

MysteryGiIgamesh: *he has still not moved from his position, his eyes still not open* "I......Am as old.......Or...Older..."

SirAlextheFirst: "Yeah, but how'd you drive in twentysomething wagons with just the few of y'all?"

MysteryGiIgamesh: (And Quite, elves may be older, but they don't mature as fast.)

Quitesimplymad: <The hell?!>

Chromeus18: "Please go ask the father if'n he wants these corpses, lad"

Quitesimplymad: *Fergus looks to the drivers*

Avatar of Soul: (Indeed.)

SirAlextheFirst: Surprise! Shock! The drivers are gone without a trace! The camera zooms out 3 times and dramatic music plays.

Avatar of Soul: "Odd. They were there a second ago."

Avatar of Soul: *shrugs*

Quitesimplymad: "BLOODY HELL!"

Adm H Sopko: "What happened?"

Chromeus18: "Well...... uh...... I guess the bastards scampered off"

Quitesimplymad: "WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?!"

Adm H Sopko: ::Growls:: "I am going to kill Lester, I swear"

Quitesimplymad: "Yeh send me in 'is direction, Boyo. I'd be more'n happy to drive a pick through 'is skull."

Chromeus18: "Didn't say more than a few words to us the whole trip, now they're gone"

SirAlextheFirst: Eriko is gone, too.

Quitesimplymad: (OK quit forever, then?)

SirAlextheFirst: (No. At least I don't think so. But he's not in The Kabal, so I'm taking liscense with his character)

Quitesimplymad: (Oh. Jeez, you had me worried there.)

SirAlextheFirst: (Strago quit forever, and OK might, but that's a whole nother matter and enough OOC for now)

Quitesimplymad: (Fine.)

SirAlextheFirst: Will taps his foot.

MysteryGiIgamesh: "Impaitence......."

SirAlextheFirst: ".... so... how'd you do it?"

Chromeus18: "Well, I dunna know where the drivers went, but they were there earlier. Now do ye want the shipment?"

Adm H Sopko: "How'd we do what?"

Quitesimplymad: "Have the ignorance to agree to this job."

SirAlextheFirst: "Drive in twenty four? Five? Wagons. You say there were drivers?"

Adm H Sopko: "Yes"

Adm H Sopko: "You can ask the priest who met us when we arrived, when he wakes up"

Quitesimplymad: "The rate things are going, I don't suppose he'll remember. Or perhaps he'll stay down like that."

Chromeus18: "How else would we git all these wagons here?"

Adm H Sopko: "The drivers themselves... they followed whatever we told them to do. I took over the lead driving... You see... I've done that before" ::He fumbles in his robes and pulls out a gold and silver badge. It's an upside down

SirAlextheFirst: "I think I'll go wake him up now. This is too weird."

SirAlextheFirst: *leaves*

Adm H Sopko: Fleur-de-Lune, the symbol of the Yarovan Trade Group::

Quitesimplymad: Lune?

Adm H Sopko: ((Isn't that what it's called? The Saints' symbol))

Quitesimplymad: As in moon? What's a Fleur de Lune?

SirAlextheFirst: (Fleur de le, I believe)

Adm H Sopko: ((Thats it)

Quitesimplymad: Yes. That's it. Maybe lee.

SirAlextheFirst: (The Boy Scout symbol)

Quitesimplymad: Surely not Lune.

Quitesimplymad: (Weblos, yeah?)

SirAlextheFirst: So.

Quitesimplymad: (I was one of them. Then I left, when they fucked up the system.)

Chromeus18: "BAH! It's so difficult giving away dead bodies..."

Adm H Sopko: (Does Will stop or just leave?)

MysteryGiIgamesh: "Mmm....."

SirAlextheFirst: WIll has left to get the father.

MysteryGiIgamesh: 'Be.....Paitent...."

Quitesimplymad: "Hah! Smartest thing I've heard all day"

Adm H Sopko: ::Seeing Will leave, he quickly pockets the badge, hoping the others did not see it::

Quitesimplymad: (That was to Chrome)

*OnlineHost*: Quitesimplymad rolled 1 20-sided die: 6

Quitesimplymad: I didn't. Trust me.

Chromeus18: *doesn't care enough to notice :P*

Adm H Sopko: Heh

MysteryGiIgamesh: *has his eyes too closed to notice*

Chromeus18: "Eh.... I'm headin' into the temple"

Chromeus18: *goes inside8

Chromeus18: *

SirAlextheFirst: Jerriford meets Will and the Father coming out.

Chromeus18: "Allo there again, your Priestliness" *walks back out with them*(

SirAlextheFirst: They barely glance at you before continuing out to meet the group.

Adm H Sopko: ::Turns to the two as they come out:: "Hello again"

SirAlextheFirst: Will: "This is Father Myrle, if you didn't know. Be nice to him now." *mutters something*

Avatar of Soul: Queklain, upon seeing the father, suddenly places his hand on his chest, then removes it, quickly.

SirAlextheFirst: Father Myrle: "We're all going to die."

Chromeus18: muttering? muttering isn't good

MysteryGiIgamesh: "..."

Quitesimplymad: (Who names a baby Myrle?)

Quitesimplymad: "What?!"

Avatar of Soul: "Indeed. I presume that you mean prematurely, or else you wouldn't state it."

Quitesimplymad: "Explain yerself!

Chromeus18: "Why do ye say that?"

Adm H Sopko: ::Hunter simply looks at the two, waiting for an explaination::

SirAlextheFirst: "Called has been killed, either by those he chose, or by ones more powerful than our holy master! Grave things are happening! The end must be near!"

SirAlextheFirst: "... right?"

MysteryGiIgamesh: "...No..........."

SirAlextheFirst: Will: "Oh, brother...."

Avatar of Soul: *raises an eyebrow*

MysteryGiIgamesh: "Death comes......To everyone, with.....Time...."

Avatar of Soul: "Panicky fellow, aren't yah?"

SirAlextheFirst: "I'm sorry. This isn't a time to get prepared for the Apocalypse?"

Avatar of Soul: "Isn't it always a good time to prepare for the impending doom of shadows crushing candlelight?"

Adm H Sopko: "Listen. We just want to be told straight out... What the hell is going on?"

Avatar of Soul: "I agree with Hunter."

Quitesimplymad: "Aye, boyo. Spare no trivialties."

Avatar of Soul: (You ARE hunter, right? Or is that QSM?)

Avatar of Soul: (Names, names are hard.)

Quitesimplymad: <- Fergus

Chromeus18: *says nothing*

Avatar of Soul: (Oh, right. Ok.)

Adm H Sopko: "Called picked us up on Asgard, and we all were there under strange circumstances. I myself was advised by a man named Lester to go there, but thats not important. We then get attacked out of NO WHERE, find out we're carrying

Chromeus18: (i'm assuming i know about the Apocalypse, being i'm a cleric of Tiyrael >_>)

Avatar of Soul: (You aren't a werewolf, the apocalypse means nothing to you!)

SirAlextheFirst: *blinks* "Well. Only you folks know what's going on. According to Will here, you say you are the Chosen for Called's last mission, and mystery men from nowhere came and killed Called. Right?"

Adm H Sopko: dead bodies, have to continue on ourselves with less than helpful help, and..." ::Sighs as the priest speaks:: "Yes."

Quitesimplymad: <Doubt that first part...>

Adm H Sopko: "Except for the part where we know whats going on, because we know less than you do"

SirAlextheFirst: "Oh. Well, then. What do you plan to do now?"

Avatar of Soul: "Continue the mission, and collect my pay."

Quitesimplymad: "Aye"

SirAlextheFirst: "Pay?"

Adm H Sopko: "I intend to go find this Lester and give him what-for!"

Chromeus18: *still says nothing*

SirAlextheFirst: *looks funny at Hunter*

Quitesimplymad: "Aye, pay. We may 'ave failed a bit of our mission, sure enough. But we weren't for knowin' all the details."

SirAlextheFirst: "Continue what mission?

SirAlextheFirst: "

Adm H Sopko: ::Sighs:: "Never mind me, I tend to ramble when I get angry"

Avatar of Soul: "He was transporting the dead."

Avatar of Soul: (Or are we in Mortok?)

Avatar of Soul: (Ignore my last few sentences.)

Avatar of Soul: (:P)

SirAlextheFirst: SirAlextheFirst: (The caravan picked up another person, and made it to Mortok with no other unusual occurances whatsoever.)

Avatar of Soul: (Quiet you.)

Avatar of Soul: (The facts have no relevance)

Avatar of Soul: "Collect my pay."

SirAlextheFirst: "... I repeat. Pay?"

Avatar of Soul: "I was offered a large sum to join this mission."

Chromeus18: "What do ye know about this Silva trading group, Father Myrle?"

Avatar of Soul: "And I must do my part to keep the economy going, and preserve the worker-consumer-retailer relationship."

Quitesimplymad: "Or just keep us from gettin' afoul, what with all the queer circumstance."

SirAlextheFirst: "The Silva are unimportant. You say Called offered you money to work, though?"

Avatar of Soul: "I believe so, my memory isn't that great. I was rather caught up in meeting these fine people."

Chromeus18: "That he did, we dinna know who he was though..."

SirAlextheFirst: "How much money?

SirAlextheFirst: "

Adm H Sopko: "He never specified..."

Avatar of Soul: "Oh, thats right."

SirAlextheFirst: (Yes he did)

Quitesimplymad: (There was a 5 in there, somewhere.)

Adm H Sopko: (Blame it on bad memory

Avatar of Soul: "He offered to double our pay if we would include protection for a girl who has now apparantly vanished."

Avatar of Soul: "Five hundred gold, I think? I don't know."

Chromeus18: "I believe it was 5000, actually, I dun't rightly care though...."

Chromeus18: (was it 500?)

SirAlextheFirst: (Common Sense/Memory check: You were offered $5000 for this job. $1000 is normal payment for a caravan guard job. The monetary unit is the dollar.)

Chromeus18: (i was right!)

Avatar of Soul: "Five thousand dollars for this. Quite an exorbitant sum."

Avatar of Soul: (Damn. :P)

Quitesimplymad: (We should have said less. We'd be lucky to get the normal fee.)

SirAlextheFirst: "Each, or total?"

Avatar of Soul: "Each."

SirAlextheFirst: Father Myrle's eyes are narrow now, and he is grinning.

Quitesimplymad: <Damn him!>

Adm H Sopko: "Not like we can claim it now, though..."

Avatar of Soul: "I'd be willing to drop most of my claim for an explanation, though."

Avatar of Soul: (I had my reasons. Never doubt me.)

SirAlextheFirst: "You don't get to be chosen by Called if you can't handle money, I suppose." *snaps his fingers at a couple priests, who hesitate, then go inside the temple*

SirAlextheFirst: "What sort of explanation would you like?"

Adm H Sopko: "I think I put it succinctly before... Why the hell are we here?"

Avatar of Soul: "Why you believe Called's death heralds the apocalypse, why we are here. You people act like his death heralded the rebirth of the dead god."

MysteryGiIgamesh: *listens quietly, still having yet to budge*

Avatar of Soul: *realizes his mistake in saying that, because it is OBVIOUSLY TABOO*

Avatar of Soul: "My apologies for my vulgarity."

SirAlextheFirst: "Called, and Gabriel, have chosen you all for some mission. That's about all there is to it, really."

Quitesimplymad: <Please.>

Chromeus18: "I suppose this mission isn't complete yet then?'

SirAlextheFirst: "I was just trying to instill a sense of religious fervor and proper fear of the gods, like they said we should."

Avatar of Soul: "Right."

Avatar of Soul: "I don't suppose you know, or have the means to divine, the nature of our supposed quest?"

SirAlextheFirst: "Alas, no. If Called didn't see fit to tell you, I really doubt you'll get any answer to that."

Chromeus18: "Hmmmm..."

MysteryGiIgamesh: "Paitence......A true virtue.....At times..."

Chromeus18: "Excuse me, lads"

Chromeus18: *goes to the temple of Tiyrael*

SirAlextheFirst: The priests return, bearing money. Lots of it. And they dole out $5000 to each person.

Avatar of Soul: "Thank you."

MysteryGiIgamesh: *opens his eyes for the first time in a while* "No...."

Chromeus18: *collects first, leaves later*

Adm H Sopko: ::He blinks, accepting the money:: "Just doesn't feel right accepting this..."

MysteryGiIgamesh: "I am....Merely along for.....The ride....I was not apart..."

MysteryGiIgamesh: *hands the money back* "Keep it..."

Quitesimplymad: "Thank yeh"

MysteryGiIgamesh: *closes his eyes, and rests his head back once again*

Chromeus18: once i get to the temple of Tiyrael, i kneel and pray

SirAlextheFirst: Now it looks like Will's the one having the coronary. "You're just going to let them go? And PAY them?! And... and.... *wheels around on Jacynth* And you're REFUSING it?"

MysteryGiIgamesh: *speaks out, softly* "I was not apart of......This deal, and as such.....I have no claim....To any money...."

SirAlextheFirst: *launches into a stream of juicy invective, ending finally with "This is WHACK!"

Chromeus18: and in my prayer, i ask Tiyrael the nature of this mission and basically what the hell is goin' on

MysteryGiIgamesh: (Dude. We need ghetto priests.)

Quitesimplymad: Man...

Chromeus18: (he's gonna bust a cap in you, watch out!)

Quitesimplymad: (I'm fairly certain my character would run the fuck away, at this point.)

Chromeus18: if Tiyrael answers my prayer, feel free to IM me Alex :P

Adm H Sopko: ::Hunter takes out about $500, then hands the rest in:: I have to agree with Jacynth... It doesn't feel right about accepting all this money...

Quitesimplymad: (I mean, I'm seeing you all as much too insane, from my standpoint.)

Avatar of Soul: *looks at them oddly*

MysteryGiIgamesh: (The first rules of hero-ism is that being sane is an option, not a requirement.)

Avatar of Soul: "You were hired to do a mission, and you've completed it."

Quitesimplymad: (But I'm not heroic.)

Chromeus18: *returns to the group, looking a bit more puzzled*

MysteryGiIgamesh: (If you're a PC, and you're non-evil, you are officially a hero.)

Avatar of Soul: *shrugs* "If you choose to not accept the money you have rightfully earned, then be my guest."

Avatar of Soul: (That was mean, Gil. Singling me out like that.)

Quitesimplymad: (Booo to that.)

MysteryGiIgamesh: (I'm not singling you out. :P)

Quitesimplymad: (I knew it.)

SirAlextheFirst: Father Myrle pushes the refused money back at you all.

SirAlextheFirst: The veins in Will's neck throb.

Chromeus18: "What now..... what to do..."

Adm H Sopko: ::Turns to Will, tossing the back of money to him::

MysteryGiIgamesh: *sit's motionless, not accepting it* "As I have said......I was not a part....Of this job, as it were.....So....I do not need.....Nor deserve.....The money....." *he exhales slowly, almost seeming to taste the very air around him*

Chromeus18: *to Father Myrle* "Do ye or the temple have any tasks that need to be handled?"

Adm H Sopko: "We did not complete our mission, either... Called is dead, the caravan... is gone, and the girl we promised to protect is gone"

SirAlextheFirst: "Take it anyways. If Called said you'll need it, you'll need it."

MysteryGiIgamesh: "I do not need such..........Things, I am accustomed to not........Having much...."

SirAlextheFirst: "Nothing truly ever dies."

Avatar of Soul: "Indeed."

SirAlextheFirst: "The caravan... don't worry about it. We'll cremate the bodies."

*OnlineHost*: SirAlextheFirst rolled 1 20-sided die: 8

SirAlextheFirst: Will barely restrains himself from grabbing and choking Father Myrle.

Avatar of Soul: "If you should like assistance in their cremation, I would be more than glad to help you."

MysteryGiIgamesh: (XD)

Avatar of Soul: "I, after all, have nothing better to do."

Chromeus18: "As would I."

SirAlextheFirst: "Sacrilige..... you.... Called's Bodies.... you...."

Avatar of Soul: "I see we have a difference of opinion here, one that I would prefer to be solved before anything else happens."

Quitesimplymad: (I kinda like this Will guy)

Adm H Sopko: ::He finally pockets the money, walking to Will:: "Listen... I know we got off on the wrong foot, but we're as confused as you are"

SirAlextheFirst: "What the FUCK are you people doing to my religion?!?!"

MysteryGiIgamesh: "Please...."

Avatar of Soul: *eyes narrow*

Avatar of Soul: *shakes head, and stops himself before he does something he'd regret*

Avatar of Soul: "I am only trying to help, and earn my money. We have done nothing to warrant your accusations of blasphemy."

Chromeus18: "I'll give back my fee then. Tiyrael has implored me to put myself at yer disposal"

MysteryGiIgamesh: *he opens his eyes, looking towards will, the first real movement he has made in ages, it seems* "Such disturbances.....Are unwarranted.....Just......Appreciate the day....As it were...."

MysteryGiIgamesh: *Will

SirAlextheFirst: *looks around the group, finally siezing on Fergus as someone who might be remotely sane* "Please, dude... stay with these people... protect us from them...." And with that, he turns around and staggers off.

Adm H Sopko: ::Laughs right in Will's face::

Avatar of Soul: <I doubt he truly knows, but I'll make sure to kill him eventually.>

SirAlextheFirst: *laughs back*

Chromeus18: *takes a deep breath*

Quitesimplymad: <ARGH>

MysteryGiIgamesh: *returns to his laid-back position, closing his eyes again*

Quitesimplymad: <Though that new guy still worries me.>

Chromeus18: Chromeus18: *to Father Myrle* "Do ye or the temple have any tasks that need to be handled?"

SirAlextheFirst: "No, fellow priest. We're fine. All of you are free to go."

Avatar of Soul: *gently touches Jacynth's shoulder* "Are you alright, Jacynth?"

MysteryGiIgamesh: *looks up at him* "I am fine.......Why do you ask.....?"

Avatar of Soul: "You seem almost depressed." *smiles a contagious smile* "I apologize for disturbing you, then."

Avatar of Soul: *seemed

Adm H Sopko: "Myrle, if you have a moment, I would like to speak with you privately"

MysteryGiIgamesh: *shakes his head* "I am not.....Depressed...."

SirAlextheFirst: "Certainly."

MysteryGiIgamesh: "I am just...........Here...."

SirAlextheFirst: *walks inside the temple some with Hunter*

Avatar of Soul: "Again, my apologies."

Adm H Sopko: ::Heads inside::

MysteryGiIgamesh: *smiles slightly*

Avatar of Soul: So who all is outside with me?

Chromeus18: "Bah..... I think I'll jest head over to the pub then..."

Chromeus18: me

SirAlextheFirst: Everyone except Hunter is outside

MysteryGiIgamesh: "There is.....No need for an....Apology.....It is merely comforting.....To have one of the blood around...."

SirAlextheFirst: *IM convo*

Avatar of Soul: "So what do we do from here?"

Chromeus18: "I'm havin' meself a tankard right now. Care to join?"

Quitesimplymad: "Aye"

Avatar of Soul: "I suppose. I haven't had much to drink along this trip."

Quitesimplymad: "I'm a bit famished. I think I'll fetch me a water and some food."

Chromeus18: "Jest don't drink yerself stupid..."

MysteryGiIgamesh: *silently hops off of the his seat upon the wagon, his feet kicking up a small bit of dust as he lands, and he stands to his full height, and walks with the others*

Chromeus18: *goes to pub, sits*

Quitesimplymad: (On water?)

Avatar of Soul: *joins him*

Chromeus18: *orders an ale*

Quitesimplymad: *Fergus orders the first thing he sees someone eating in the tavern.*

Avatar of Soul: "Now, this 'ale'. What is this? Is it anything like wine?"

MysteryGiIgamesh: *just takes a seat at the table, ordering some water*

Chromeus18: (i wasn't necessarily talkin to Fergus with that remark >_>)

Quitesimplymad: (Ok. I'm self-centered.)

Chromeus18: "Ale is wonderful... me granddad made the best himself."

MysteryGiIgamesh: "....You....Knwo not of ale....?"

MysteryGiIgamesh: *Know

Avatar of Soul: "Well, I've heard of it, but never actually had any."

Chromeus18: *sips* "This spit's a bit watered down though..."

Avatar of Soul: *also orders a mug of ale*

MysteryGiIgamesh: ".................Ahh.............."

MysteryGiIgamesh: *sips his water*

Chromeus18: "So where are ye fellas headin' next?"

Avatar of Soul: "Wherever the money is, I suppose." *sips from his ale, wincing at the first taste, then continues drinking it.*

Quitesimplymad: "Aye"

Chromeus18: "Workin' for money... I suppose the idear of working for the betterment of society is dying..."

Avatar of Soul: "Working for money is for the betterment of society."

Quitesimplymad: <Society ain't for betterin' me.>

Quitesimplymad: (Whoops, that was a VSM Comment.)

MysteryGiIgamesh: *turns to Quek* "Why....?"

Avatar of Soul: "Think about it, Jacynth."

Avatar of Soul: "In a society, everyone works."

MysteryGiIgamesh: "Do you....Or rather, are you.....Concerned so with money?"

Avatar of Soul: "If you do not work, you do not produce."

Avatar of Soul: "The money isn't important, adventure is. The money is... like a bonus."

MysteryGiIgamesh: "...........................Mmm......"

Avatar of Soul: "When you work for money, you eventually spend it."

Avatar of Soul: "This enriches the shopkeepers, who continue to be able to produce for society."

Avatar of Soul: "And they, in turn, are able to continue business, and keep people in jobs, keeping families fed, and so on."

Avatar of Soul: (That should earn me a few free ranks in Knowledge: Economics)

Avatar of Soul: (Or a possible prestige class: Capitalist Pig!)

MysteryGiIgamesh: ".....You are of......The blood, however.....And as such.....Life is so long....That to concern yourself with such.......In such an early stage.....Within your life....."

Chromeus18: "That philosophy allows those who lack the morals to do dastardly work for money though..."

Avatar of Soul: "Yes, it does. But they too spend their money, which is the important thing."

MysteryGiIgamesh: "It seems.......More like a human...."

Avatar of Soul: *smiles at them both, but then turns to Jacynth* "According to my elders, I am no longer an elf."

Avatar of Soul: *shrugs, and continues drinking his ale*

Quitesimplymad: <Someone needs to do it.>

MysteryGiIgamesh: "You are of the blood.......And that alone makes you.....One of the blood..."

Chromeus18: "Yer awfully quiet Fergus"

Avatar of Soul: "I was exiled for my beliefs on society. Its not such a bad thing, I have no more families to worry about, no politics, no worry of civil service, I am free to live on my own."

MysteryGiIgamesh: "Words cannot.....Change that."

Quitesimplymad: (If you're having trouble with your highschool head...)

Quitesimplymad: "Aye"

Avatar of Soul: "Indeed, they don't. I am as much an elf as Jerri is a dwarf. I simply accept that my position is to make money, and that by making and spending money, I will help society."

Quitesimplymad: Where's my....

Avatar of Soul: *smiles* "Everyone helps in their own way."

MysteryGiIgamesh: "...................................Hmmm................................... ..............."

Chromeus18: "Perhaps Hunter is squeezing s'more information out of Father Myrle.... I don't like how this day is turnin' out"

Quitesimplymad: (Dirty deeds...)

MysteryGiIgamesh: (...Done dirt cheap...)

Chromeus18: (Done with sheep)

MysteryGiIgamesh: (AC/DC>All.)

Quitesimplymad: (Oh, I'm gonna like you.)

Avatar of Soul: (lol.)

Avatar of Soul: "Nor I, Jerri."

Avatar of Soul: "This ale is incredible. Its like wine, only more potent."

Avatar of Soul: "You dwarves must be drunk frequently, with ale this strong!" *said jokingly, with a smile on his face*

MysteryGiIgamesh: "...It has it's.....Good qualities....Though it is....Stronger..."

Chromeus18: "Nah, ale was made fer us. Wine was made fer ye."

Chromeus18: actually that should be a you, not a ye

MysteryGiIgamesh: "Everything was made......To be savored by....All, I would wager..."

Avatar of Soul: *smiles, finishes his drink*

Quitesimplymad: (I Knew someone made to be savored by all.)

MysteryGiIgamesh: (Yes, those are called "sluts". ^_^)

Quitesimplymad: (I.... I ordered the kosher meal, instead.)

Avatar of Soul: (Damn you, Gil. Get out of my head.)

Chromeus18: *downs his ale* "Hunter is prolly wonderin' where we went"

Avatar of Soul: *leaves five hundred dollars as a tip for the serving wench who delivered it to me*

Avatar of Soul: "I have a question, Jacynth.. where did you grow up?"

Chromeus18: o_O

Avatar of Soul: *twiddles with a silver dagger at his waist*

MysteryGiIgamesh: "A village called...........Ru'Wiae.........."

Avatar of Soul: *places his hands on the table and sighs a breath of relief*

Avatar of Soul: "I haven't heard much of that place."

Avatar of Soul: "Is it... fun?"

MysteryGiIgamesh: "It is not.....Much of a place.....Just a small village......And nothing more, really...."

Avatar of Soul: "Ah."

MysteryGiIgamesh: "But....It is where I was......Conceived."

Chromeus18: *stares into his empty cup*

Avatar of Soul: "Let me get that for you."

Avatar of Soul: *pays for Jerrifords next drink*

Chromeus18: "I needn't anymore, thanks though"

Avatar of Soul: "Alright."

MysteryGiIgamesh: (Ack....2AM...)

MysteryGiIgamesh: (Need sleep. (-_-i))

Avatar of Soul: "Have I introduced you guys to my familiar?"

Avatar of Soul: (...not again.)

Chromeus18: "Maybe tonight we can all get koboldfaced and stumble back to our inn room"

Quitesimplymad: (That's not a penis joke, is it?)

Avatar of Soul: *smiles* "That would be a nice change of pace, from this constant death, plague, corpses, and the like."

SirAlextheFirst: (Yeah.... You all should have an idea by now how long D&D tends to go. And plan accordingly.)

MysteryGiIgamesh: "....A practitionier of.......The arts....."

Avatar of Soul: "Oh, damn." *a small scorpion crawls from out of Queklain's shirt robes*

Avatar of Soul: "This is Belphegor, my familiar."

Avatar of Soul: (No, not a penis joke, you sick bastard.)

MysteryGiIgamesh: "Rare to meet.........One of the blood....Rarer still, to.....Meet one of those who practices.....The arts..."

Quitesimplymad: (What? I'd tell it, if I were a mage.)

Chromeus18: "Not a very cuddlly fella is he?"

Avatar of Soul: *gently touches the arachnids back, to which Belphegor chitters and calms down*

MysteryGiIgamesh: (Well, I know D&D goes on long, but I also know I like waking up in the morning...)

Quitesimplymad: *Fergus shudders a little.*

Avatar of Soul: "No, he's really quite friendly, once you get to know him."

Avatar of Soul: (Morning is subjective.)

MysteryGiIgamesh: (Morning is before 10 AM, for me.)

Quitesimplymad: (Morning is my night.)

Avatar of Soul: (OOC IS MY BANE)

MysteryGiIgamesh: (Pantslessness is my friend.)

Quitesimplymad: (The actual game wound down.)

Chromeus18: "Methinks I won't be gettin ta know yer little pet...."

Quitesimplymad: (All the important stuff is happening to Soppy.)

SirAlextheFirst: (ANYWAYS)

Quitesimplymad: (>Shrug<)

MysteryGiIgamesh: "Mmm......................"

Adm H Sopko: ::Walks out of the temple, wondering where the hell everyone went::

Avatar of Soul: "Aww well."

Avatar of Soul: "Stay here, little guy. I'm going to get my room, even though we won't need it for a while."

Chromeus18: "I bet Hunter is wonderin' about us"

Avatar of Soul: *pays for a nights stay*

Chromeus18: *steps out of the pub and calls out to Hunter if he's close enough*

SirAlextheFirst: The money Queklain gave the server covers the room cost. For everyone.

Quitesimplymad: (Bitchen')

Quitesimplymad: What time is it?

Chromeus18: (and a free prostitute for each of us)

Avatar of Soul: (You are a cleric. No more womanizing for j00)

SirAlextheFirst: Around 6 PM. Nearing dusk.

MysteryGiIgamesh: (I'll need three prostitutes. Elves are long on love. ^_~)

Avatar of Soul: (Should have been a cleric of someone like Sakhmet.)

Quitesimplymad: (3?! What's your CON score?)

MysteryGiIgamesh: (13. :P)

Avatar of Soul: (XD)

Chromeus18: (no no! i'll just talk to her to make her not be a prostitute anymore >_>)

Avatar of Soul: (lol.)

Avatar of Soul: Alrighty.

MysteryGiIgamesh: ("Sex is my religion, so let's pray, baby.")

Quitesimplymad: (Change that phrase.)

Chromeus18: *goes to the temple to find Hunter*

Quitesimplymad: ("Sex is my religion, so let's pray to the alter of me, baby.")

MysteryGiIgamesh: (Heh!)

Adm H Sopko: ::Luckily, Hunter is able to track them down by Jerry's voice. He nods to him as he approaches:: Thanks for the help, Jerriford. Sorry I took so long"

MysteryGiIgamesh: (Get on your knees, and worship it. XD)

Quitesimplymad: (Arrogance is better)

Chromeus18: "Not a problem. Jest havin' a drink"

SirAlextheFirst: (Enough) Where are the rest of you?

Avatar of Soul: I'm still at the table/bar, chatting, and drinking.

Chromeus18: yep, i think we're all here now

Adm H Sopko: "Ah. Well, I did manage to get a little information... not much that would help us though..."

MysteryGiIgamesh: *is just hanging around with the others*

MysteryGiIgamesh: *mostly relaxing*

Quitesimplymad: I'm supposed to be eating a supper, Alex.

SirAlextheFirst: Indeed.

Chromeus18: *orders food too*

Chromeus18: mmmmm food

Quitesimplymad: I decided to have a light fruit platter, and some lamb.

SirAlextheFirst: The food here is a bit on the natural side.

Quitesimplymad: Moving?

SirAlextheFirst: Fruit and lamb? Yeaah buddy.

Avatar of Soul: *orders a salad*

SirAlextheFirst: Salad? Yeaaah.

Chromeus18: beef stew?

Avatar of Soul: NO

Avatar of Soul: NO BEEF

Quitesimplymad: No beef?

Chromeus18: oh c'mon, let me eat my cow in peace, hippy

Avatar of Soul: lol/

SirAlextheFirst: Beef? Yes.

SirAlextheFirst: Stew? Yes.

MysteryGiIgamesh: *order's some chicken*

SirAlextheFirst: Bread? No.

Chromeus18: alright, beef stew and ale! *eats and drinks*

Adm H Sopko: ::Orders a plate of both beek and chicken, along with a small salad::

Chromeus18: "Now what, what did ye find out from the Priest, Hunter?"

MysteryGiIgamesh: (mm....I'm tired...Methink's I'm going to head out to sleep, everyone.)

Adm H Sopko: "Not all that much that can help us, I'm afraid..."

SirAlextheFirst: (Good night, then)

Chromeus18: (g'nite)

MysteryGiIgamesh: (Good night. ^_^)

MysteryGiIgamesh has left the room.

Quitesimplymad: I follow his character compulsively.

Chromeus18: "All I know is that I'm to serve Gabriel..... but they dunna want my help...":

Quitesimplymad: So if his character heads off to bed, instead of turning into a llama, I follow.

Adm H Sopko: "He mostly said to talk to you guys about how we all ended up working for Called, and move on it if we have situations like that again. And he also said some possibilities of who attacked us"

Chromeus18: "Who was it that attacked?"

SirAlextheFirst: Jacynth is llamaized

Chromeus18: (he's llamanated)

Avatar of Soul: *listens intently, replacing Belphegor inside his jacket pouch*

Adm H Sopko: "Well, he gave several possibilities. One that it was Gabriel himself, because Called felt it necessary for our mission for him to die... or that it was an evil god that is rising in power"

Adm H Sopko: "Like I said, not all that much that can help us"

Avatar of Soul: "A startling amount of duplicity from a god of healing, and the sun."

Chromeus18: "I dunna understand why Gabriel would want to slay 'is own avatar though...."

Avatar of Soul: "Again, too much duplicity from one of the trinity."

Adm H Sopko: "It's a crazy thing we've all gotten mixed up in..."

Avatar of Soul: "Its a mad, mad, mad, mad world."

Chromeus18: "If'n it be the work of evil, then may Tiyrael give me power to banish it back to where'er it came from..."

Chromeus18: (i'm starting to get tired myself)

Avatar of Soul: (Wussies!)

Avatar of Soul: (Stay up.)

Adm H Sopko: (Wimps_

SirAlextheFirst: Heh.

Quitesimplymad: (Bored, really.) We've been playing since when?

SirAlextheFirst: Mad mad mad mad day

Adm H Sopko: Yep

Chromeus18: "Ach, I'll be headin' to bed, fellas"

Chromeus18: *sleep mode: ACTIVATE*

SirAlextheFirst: --- End ----

Adm H Sopko: Whee...

Chromeus18: yes, Jerriford really is a cyborg sent from the future

SirAlextheFirst: Comments?

Adm H Sopko: Not bad tonight...

Quitesimplymad: Kinda drab.

Adm H Sopko: A tad slow, but thats about it.

Quitesimplymad: It seemed to drag a bit. Particularly toward the end.

Avatar of Soul: I like me.

Adm H Sopko: Yeah, sorry for going into the church

Avatar of Soul: Its quite alright.

Chromeus18: Will was funny

Adm H Sopko: Yes

SirAlextheFirst: I'm trying not to drive you along hard all the time

Chromeus18: we should recruit him as an NPC

Adm H Sopko: If possible, keep Will as a recurring character

SirAlextheFirst: Heh

Chromeus18: wait.....

Chromeus18: Will = Lan

SirAlextheFirst: LOL

Chromeus18: Lan = crazy cleric, WIll = crazy cleric

Chromeus18: oh no, not the Greel song

Avatar of Soul: The Greel Song was awesome

SirAlextheFirst: Now you know why I hate traveling

Adm H Sopko: Wonder where we'll be heading next... to The Crater with a caravan driven by Spoken, an avatar of Luthien, and we'll be carrying live people

SirAlextheFirst: Heh.

SirAlextheFirst: No.

Quitesimplymad: Migrant Workers?

Chromeus18: damned illegal immigrants

Adm H Sopko: Migratory Birds<G>

SirAlextheFirst: Where you head next is up to you.

SirAlextheFirst: Linear mode is over for now.

Adm H Sopko: I say we torch Silva's HQ

Avatar of Soul: Well...

Avatar of Soul: I don't. I say we head there and claim we never got paid.

Quitesimplymad: I'm with Sopko.

Avatar of Soul: And collect our money in full... again.

Quitesimplymad: I need to be more Chaotic, anyhow.

Chromeus18: but you're EVIL

Adm H Sopko: That works

Quitesimplymad: When we go, I'll say "Boy, I have Deja Vu"

Avatar of Soul: Chaotic doesn't really mean doing ANYTHING.

Quitesimplymad: And then we'll go again, and I'll say "Wait, I think we're in a loop" or something.

Avatar of Soul: It just means that you are more likely to adlib something, while a lawful guy will have his speech written beforehand.

Avatar of Soul: Queklain bought his rooms a full six hours before he'd need them. Why? He's lawful.

Avatar of Soul: :P

Chromeus18: hey Alex, XP?

Chromeus18: or no XP?

SirAlextheFirst: Lessee.

Quitesimplymad: Didn't kill anything.

Quitesimplymad: Didn't handle the diplomacy well..

Adm H Sopko: Doesn't matter, depending on the DM

Chromeus18: we completed the mission though!

Chromeus18: somewhat

Quitesimplymad: Not even that second bit?

SirAlextheFirst: 500 XP for all.

Quitesimplymad: Ah, hell.

SirAlextheFirst: For the same reasons there almost wasn't one tonight

SirAlextheFirst: It's crunch time in college right now

Adm H Sopko: K

SirAlextheFirst: I have 3 Econ papers, 2 Core journals, a fine arts critique, and a 5-8 page thesis paper draft due by the end of this week.

Quitesimplymad: If I take a new class, am I still illiterate? I forget the rule on that.

SirAlextheFirst: Yes, VSM.

Quitesimplymad: Raspberries.

SirAlextheFirst: You must spend skill points to be able to read and write.

Chromeus18: ah we have a barb

SirAlextheFirst: You gotta do more stuff

SirAlextheFirst: :P

Quitesimplymad: You'll have a Barb/Fighter, soon enough.

Chromeus18: or you can have a fighter teach you

SirAlextheFirst: No.

SirAlextheFirst: Only Evrain can do such a thing,

Quitesimplymad: I want to rush a few feats.

Quitesimplymad: So I figure Barb/Fighter/Barb/Fighter/Barb/Barb/Barb....

Quitesimplymad: That should give me several really quick.

*OnlineHost*: Chromeus18 rolled 1 8-sided die: 4

Adm H Sopko: What do I have to roll? D10?

Quitesimplymad: You're saying Evrain on the teaching reading, Right? I can still multiclass.

Avatar of Soul: Hm.

SirAlextheFirst: Yes, multiclassing is fine, as per the normal rules

SirAlextheFirst: No, 6 + con

SirAlextheFirst: You just take the higher of the two rolls

Quitesimplymad: Always. So 9 (6 + 3)

SirAlextheFirst: No.

*OnlineHost*: Adm H Sopko rolled 2 10-sided dice: 5 3

SirAlextheFirst: 6 is the higher of the two rolls.

Quitesimplymad: So only once/.

Adm H Sopko: 5 + 2. 7 I guess

Quitesimplymad: So 9. My CON bonus is +3. So (6 + 3) or 9.

SirAlextheFirst: Yes.

Adm H Sopko: Do we roll for anything else?

Quitesimplymad: So why the FUCK did you correct me? Repeatedly?

SirAlextheFirst: No.

Adm H Sopko: 12 + 7. I now have 19 HP

SirAlextheFirst: We thought you were adding the two dice rolls together, VSM

Avatar of Soul: *has 6 HP!

Adm H Sopko: And I have 5 skill points to spend

Chromeus18: SRD doesn't say how many skill points clerics get

SirAlextheFirst: The one thing the SRD doesn't have that the books do.

Chromeus18: so that gives me.....2 skill points!

Adm H Sopko: I'm adding 1 to Diplomacy, 1 to Innuendo and 1 to Heal

Avatar of Soul: Which are D&D exclusive, completely original, without basis on myth (although Mind Flayer is debatable).

Adm H Sopko: Diplomacy and Innuendo are cross-class.

Avatar of Soul: Actually, the books have Mind Flayers, Beholders, and Yuan Ti, but the SRD doesn't.

Avatar of Soul: :P

Chromeus18: i just slapped two in concentrate

Quitesimplymad: I'll put two into Climb. >Shrug<

Adm H Sopko: I usually add only to skills I rolled for or used...

Avatar of Soul: I added one to knowledge arcana, gemcutting, bluff, and a half a point (damn you cross class skills!) into Intimidate.

Quitesimplymad: Wait, can I do that?

Quitesimplymad: >Checks<

Chromeus18: gorth with INTIMIDATE you with his 6 HP

Avatar of Soul: I also have Cause Fear.

Quitesimplymad: Is it 4 max, or 4 max at level 1?

Avatar of Soul: Cause Fear + intimidate + unnerving gaze (my face turns into that of someone you know!) = PWN.

Avatar of Soul: Four max at level 1.

Avatar of Soul: Its maximum is 3 + levels.

Chromeus18: so at lvl 2 your max is now 5

Quitesimplymad: Thank you.

Quitesimplymad: So....

Adm H Sopko: Those are ranks only though. Modifiers don't count towards that

Chromeus18: yep

Quitesimplymad: Yeah.

Quitesimplymad: BAH! Damn Fighters don't get intimidate as a class skill.

Chromeus18: they really should....

SirAlextheFirst: They sure do

Quitesimplymad: If you or 3.5 changed the rule.

Adm H Sopko: Do stats ever get increased?

SirAlextheFirst: Class SkillsThe fighter's class skills (and the key ability for each skill) are Climb (Str), Craft (Int), Handle Animal (Cha), Intimidate (Cha), Jump (Str), Ride (Dex), and Swim (Str).

Quitesimplymad: (Every 4 levels, unless it's been changed.)

Adm H Sopko: Ah

Quitesimplymad: Awesome. I'll take 1 for intimidate and 1 for Climb.

SirAlextheFirst: At every level which is a multiple of 4, you get 1 stat point.

Quitesimplymad: Aaaaaand....

SirAlextheFirst: And next time we'll see how the nonlinear part goes.

Quitesimplymad: I need a feat.

SirAlextheFirst: Power Attack

SirAlextheFirst: Cleave

SirAlextheFirst: Sunder

SirAlextheFirst: Improved Bull Rush

Quitesimplymad: I like that last one.

Quitesimplymad: But Cleave....

SirAlextheFirst: Great Cleave

Quitesimplymad: Hmmm....

Avatar of Soul: If you prefer FINESSE instead of just BASHITY, and have a reasonably high int, go for Expertise, improved disarm, trip, and so on

Quitesimplymad: My Int and Dex are too bad for that.

Avatar of Soul: Its way easier to disarm someone than break their weapon, regardless what FFT has taught you.

Quitesimplymad: I'm all about brawn.

Avatar of Soul: Ah.

SirAlextheFirst: *points to Barbarianness*

Avatar of Soul: Then Power Attack is the thing for you.

Avatar of Soul: I played a barbarian who used a whip. It can be done.

Quitesimplymad: See, I like to use wacky tactics, and if that fails, just fly into a rage and kill things.

Adm H Sopko: I need Dex. I have only 10 Dex

Quitesimplymad: I think I have 11. But it might be 10.

Quitesimplymad: 10. My INT is 11.

Quitesimplymad: So yeah... Improved Bull Rush sounds like a larf.

Avatar of Soul: You know, for the sake of sanity, what is everyone's class?

Adm H Sopko: Ranger

SirAlextheFirst: Gil'

SirAlextheFirst: s a Rangwer

SirAlextheFirst: Chrome's a Cleric

SirAlextheFirst: VSM's a Barb

Avatar of Soul: I'm a sorc.

SirAlextheFirst: OK, assuming he's still with us, is also a sorc

Chromeus18: a Texas Ranger?

Adm H Sopko: Rangwer is how they spell it in Texas

Avatar of Soul: Don't the texans wish they had someone with Far shot on their team

Avatar of Soul: Or hell, even the awesome feat, "Not Suck"

SirAlextheFirst: HAH

Chromeus18: *awaits Queklain to be hit with a meteor in his sleep*

Avatar of Soul: lol.

Avatar of Soul: Oh, Worker 8 is cool.

Adm H Sopko: Can't... stop... watching... One Piece... video

Chromeus18: ok, character sheet is fully updated... wait, need spells

Quitesimplymad: I'm a barb/fighter, damn it.

Avatar of Soul: You know what would be a cool barb type?

Avatar of Soul: A barbarian who used a quarterstaff.

Quitesimplymad: And I think I'll fly into a rage, next combat. Because I have a "slight anger problem" and things have been irritating, lately.

Avatar of Soul: He went into a RAGE and started CHOPPING and RAGING and killing with one end, smacking foes with his club.

Adm H Sopko: That would be cool, Gorth

Quitesimplymad: I was thinking about that, but I figured Heavy Pick was the way to go, when you're REALLY pissed off. Seems satisfying.

Avatar of Soul: Then he whaps around and bashes someone in the nuts with the other end

SirAlextheFirst: I wonder what the next combat will be.

Adm H Sopko: I think the only thing certain is my rolls will suck

Avatar of Soul: If gil keeps talking like he is, it'll be him versus me in a trance.

Avatar of Soul: Which isn't fair.

Avatar of Soul: Gil- "Gorth, why must you play evil guys?"

SirAlextheFirst: Half my lovely plot vanished all away

Avatar of Soul: me- "I make tons of good guys, I have NEVER successully played in a game with an evil character that lasted more than two sessions..."

Adm H Sopko: Eh?

Avatar of Soul: gil- "Well make another good guy!"

Avatar of Soul: How so?

SirAlextheFirst: Roald = MIA

SirAlextheFirst: Eriko = MIA

Quitesimplymad: Noooo....

SirAlextheFirst: Strago = DOA

Chromeus18: *adds Command to his spelllist*

SirAlextheFirst: RC = DOA

Avatar of Soul: You know what would be a good Command? It has to be one word... do something like Repent!

Avatar of Soul: or Apologize!

SirAlextheFirst: The only incoming character now is Jacynth, the only one I didn't make a plot hook for

SirAlextheFirst: Oh well.

Avatar of Soul: He can be the Ceredryn of the group.

Avatar of Soul: Oh, and Nellix crystalized, man.

Adm H Sopko: Shouldn't be all THAT difficult. You have a lot of elbowroom at the moment

Avatar of Soul: Poor amaryllis team won't be the same.

Chromeus18: when Jerry wakes up in the morning, he's gonna Command a serving wench to "Strip"

SirAlextheFirst: I thought you were good at FFT, and completed Monk SCC

SirAlextheFirst: o_O

Avatar of Soul: I am pretty good at FFT.

SirAlextheFirst: Ah well.

Avatar of Soul: Doesn't mean I don't screw up once in a while.

SirAlextheFirst: I'm still rejoicing from beating a battle at Sweegy in Oracle SSCC

Avatar of Soul: lol.

Avatar of Soul: Hey, how does a mediator SCC manage to beat Wiegraf?

Adm H Sopko: I still can't believe that guy beat TrueCalc

Avatar of Soul: He seems almost impossible.

Avatar of Soul: My first time through it, I used a monk with guts and chakra, and speed save

SirAlextheFirst: Chameleon Robe

Avatar of Soul: I had like four turns to his one, then I accumulated repeatedly.

Avatar of Soul: If I wear chameleon robe, he does something other than Lightning stab which is just as painful

SirAlextheFirst: Chameleon Robe, Germinas Boots.

Quitesimplymad: Earth Slash is nothing. And his physical ain't so hot.

SirAlextheFirst: He should almost never hit you

Quitesimplymad: That game is always easier with Wizards.

Chromeus18: maybe i should get Bless for Hunter....

Quitesimplymad: Except for towards the end.

Avatar of Soul: I dunno, man.

Adm H Sopko: Eh?

SirAlextheFirst: Except at Altima.

Avatar of Soul: Next, I'm going to do a Wizard SCC

Quitesimplymad: Expect VERY easy chapters 1-3.

Chromeus18: +1 to attack

Quitesimplymad: Like, level (6? 9?) at Izlude easy.

Adm H Sopko: Go right ahead, I guess...

Adm H Sopko: I already get +1 to humans, so thats good

Quitesimplymad: Wizard is the only one I attempted, and I got bored with it.

Quitesimplymad: +1 to humans?

Quitesimplymad: Huh?

Chromeus18: i think it'd be easier to Command them to freeze though!

Avatar of Soul: Last time I played with a group of guys with Counter Magic/Damage split, Velius summoned Clops, and I whomped him. No, it wasn't velius. It was someone else casting like fire3.

Avatar of Soul: I just remember that it was really funny.

Chromeus18: i could hold my sword and say "FREEZE" like in cops

Chromeus18: and they actually would

Avatar of Soul: Might have been velius too.

Adm H Sopko: C.O.P.S. Anyone remember that cartoon?

Avatar of Soul: No

Avatar of Soul: What was it?

Quitesimplymad: (Why +1 to humans?)

Adm H Sopko: Favored Enemy

Quitesimplymad: (Huh? You're not evil, are you?)

Adm H Sopko: Alex said that I didn't have to be evil for it to be humans

Avatar of Soul: What race are you?

Adm H Sopko: I had that same exact question, and Alex said it was peachy keen

Adm H Sopko: Human

Quitesimplymad: >Shrug< He can make minor rule changes as he sees fit.

Avatar of Soul: Odd.

Avatar of Soul: I agree with it.

Adm H Sopko: It would make sense

Quitesimplymad: I get intimidate as a class skill, so that's fine.

Avatar of Soul: Well

Avatar of Soul: I'm gunna go play FFT.

Quitesimplymad: Anyhow, I have to go to bed.

Avatar of Soul: I may or may not be back on later, so good night all.

Avatar of Soul has left the room.

SirAlextheFirst: 3.5 Ranger dropped the thing about having to be evil to favor your own race as an 'enemy'

Quitesimplymad: >Moseys off into the darkness<

Adm H Sopko: Even if you're good, you can ONLY fight evil humans too

Quitesimplymad: >Tips his hat to Sopko<

SirAlextheFirst: Good night

Quitesimplymad: Ma'am.

Quitesimplymad has left the room.

Adm H Sopko: Later

Chromeus18: g'nite

Chromeus18: do you want updated char sheets alex?

SirAlextheFirst: Yeah

SirAlextheFirst: Well

Adm H Sopko: I must say... If you could have a party of Kazuki/Yun/Miho and Pham, that would fucking rock

SirAlextheFirst: o_O

Adm H Sopko: In FM3

SirAlextheFirst: Ah

SirAlextheFirst: Well

Chromeus18: if only i had windwall, poor Called wouldn't be dead :-(

Adm H Sopko: I've realize how much I underrated that game lately

SirAlextheFirst: If only VSM would do stuff, the game wouldn't seem slow to him o_O

Adm H Sopko: Heh

Adm H Sopko: I do as much as I can... even though some of it is trite and repetitive and not a little bit angsty at times

SirAlextheFirst: You're good

SirAlextheFirst: Chrome's good

SirAlextheFirst: Gorth's good

Chromeus18: *cheers*

Adm H Sopko: I actually am working on that trade thing, Alex<G>

SirAlextheFirst: Coo

SirAlextheFirst has left the room.
