(1:34:48 AM) You have just entered room "AND without lag."
SirAlexTheFirst (1:35:11 AM): Well.
Sarcazmo47 (1:35:32 AM): Everyone important is still here!
Chromeus18 (1:35:34 AM): Alex returns!
SirAlexTheFirst (1:35:40 AM): Still?
SirAlexTheFirst (1:35:47 AM): Kirk is finally here! is my cry
AndrewRogue (1:35:55 AM): Yay Kirk!
Sarcazmo47 (1:36:01 AM): And the cry of all those who love awsome.
SirAlexTheFirst (1:36:02 AM): Yarr.
SirAlexTheFirst (1:36:32 AM): Except that everyone important is not here, as Andy remains both whipped and under the yoke of science.
SirAlexTheFirst (1:36:44 AM): But that's all right.
Sarcazmo47 (1:36:46 AM): Zane isn't important.
SirAlexTheFirst (1:37:10 AM): Back to scene #1?
coughingpuppy (1:37:19 AM): Sure.
Sarcazmo47 (1:38:21 AM): Which one is scene 1?
AndrewRogue (1:38:32 AM): (That'd be the battlefield with Arryx.)
SirAlexTheFirst (1:38:42 AM): Yes.
Sarcazmo47 (1:38:45 AM): Hmm. HappyfunWracktimes.
AndrewRogue (1:38:59 AM): (Indeed. Hunter and Zane = Wracked ^_~)
coughingpuppy (1:40:02 AM): Aurelia just suggested that they go hire a mage.
tortgurt (1:40:18 AM): i tried to ask alex if i had any contacts in the area
tortgurt (1:40:32 AM): but then he left
Chromeus18 (1:41:34 AM): *whimpers and bleeds*
SirAlexTheFirst (1:42:29 AM): You can do more than that, you know.
SirAlexTheFirst (1:42:44 AM): As for Bigsbie, uh, none besides the entire Gelendar military.
tortgurt (1:43:39 AM): (yeah that is kinda what i thought, about how far away is anyone that i know of off hand that might be able to help us?)
Chromeus18 (1:44:49 AM): well, what exactly happened to make Jerri not dead?
AndrewRogue (1:45:13 AM): (Zane showed up and killed Jac)
Chromeus18 (1:45:42 AM): so Jerri's just laying around with no one noticing?
coughingpuppy (1:45:53 AM): ((Aurelia's seen you. She just doesn't care.))
AndrewRogue (1:46:31 AM): (I'm not present, so yeah.)
tortgurt (1:46:58 AM): (bigsbie has seen you as well, but as such that they curent burn it plan isnt going through... he is kinda worried about the sword)
coughingpuppy (1:47:09 AM): Aurelia watches the sword for several moments, hoping Zane and Hunter will both stop twitching and screaming eventually. "It would be best to split the group up, if we look for a mage."
tortgurt (1:47:50 AM): "i can handle geting us a mage, i ama dog of the millitary and all"
coughingpuppy (1:48:33 AM): "Then go."
tortgurt (1:50:25 AM): "ok ill be back a soon as possible, take care of hunter and zane, and we should probly help that dwarf over there that is laying on the ground
coughingpuppy (1:50:40 AM): Aurelia's eyes flick momentarily to the dwarf. "Why?"
AndrewRogue (1:50:48 AM): (Yeah, he looks kind of hurt. Might need a band-aide or something <_<)
Chromeus18 (1:51:28 AM): *is silent*
tortgurt (1:51:42 AM): (did bigsbie ever meet jerri?)
AndrewRogue (1:51:52 AM): (Briefly at least.)
Adm H Sopko (1:53:01 AM): ((::Recovers from telling a long story:: ))
tortgurt (1:53:11 AM): "because i regonize him from the group of people that was at the inn, and i would take care of him, but i need to go get some help, so if you want me to do that with any amount of speed, i would go faster without him on my back
tortgurt (1:53:13 AM): "
coughingpuppy (1:53:55 AM): She shrugs. "I can't cast any more healing spells at the moment, or I would attempt to help him."
Sarcazmo47 (1:54:13 AM): ((Liar.))
coughingpuppy (1:54:20 AM): ((No, she seriously is.))
coughingpuppy (1:54:59 AM): "I could bandage him, but there isn't much more I could do."
tortgurt (1:55:11 AM): *hands her a potion of greater healing* "would this help?"
coughingpuppy (1:56:06 AM): She glances at the potion, then at the dwarf, and nods. "It would at least close off the wound." She looks back at the dwarf and smirks.
coughingpuppy (1:56:22 AM): "I suppose if he's worried about the loss of a limb, you could always strap him to the back of that armless cleric. They could be a team."
AndrewRogue (1:56:41 AM): (...XD)
Chromeus18 (1:56:52 AM): *sighs*
SirAlexTheFirst (1:56:53 AM): (Aurelia WINS)
coughingpuppy (1:56:57 AM): ((I feel horribly insensitive right now.))
tortgurt (1:57:01 AM): (lol)
Adm H Sopko (1:57:07 AM): (GO AURELIA!!!)
Adm H Sopko (1:57:22 AM): (BANTER, HUMOR AND SARCASM = GOOD!)
AndrewRogue (1:57:42 AM): (We'll need it to make up for the melodrama I bring to the table :p)
tortgurt (1:58:03 AM): "heh, please whatever you may hold aginst him or us, help him, please?"
tortgurt (1:58:10 AM): (no?*)
tortgurt (1:58:18 AM): (whatever)
coughingpuppy (1:58:38 AM): She shrugs. "If I can. Hurry up and go...we'd better not stall in finding someone to get rid of the blade."
tortgurt (1:59:08 AM): *turns and recasts expedious retreate, heads off to go get help*
Chromeus18 (1:59:16 AM): "If yer so loathe to help, then don't bother..."
coughingpuppy (2:00:00 AM): Aurelia glances at the potion in her hand, then at the dwarf when he finally speaks. "So you aren't mute." After a minute she starts walking over to him, and extends the potion to him when she reaches his side.
Chromeus18 (2:00:39 AM): "Just help me up, if you will."
coughingpuppy (2:01:12 AM): "Why? I doubt you can be going anywhere."
Chromeus18 (2:02:29 AM): "To sit up. I'm not fond of beingon me back."
coughingpuppy (2:03:27 AM): Aurelia leans down and carefully - not gently, there's a difference - pushes Jerri into a sitting position aftter she has set the potion down next to him. "Better?"
Chromeus18 (2:03:51 AM): "Yes, thanks....."
Chromeus18 (2:04:03 AM): *stares at Jac's corpse*
Adm H Sopko (2:05:25 AM): ::Hunter is lying in pain near Jac, his cries of pain quieting down:
coughingpuppy (2:05:48 AM): Aurelia hardly spares a glance at the corpse. "Are you going to drink that, or would you rather bleed to death?"
SirAlexTheFirst (2:06:56 AM): As predicted (by me) the skies have once again darkened, and the clouds burst forth with a downpour.
Chromeus18 (2:07:04 AM): "I can handle myself for now..."
AndrewRogue (2:07:17 AM): (Alex is teh awesome weather reporter!)
tortgurt (2:07:40 AM): (heh)
SirAlexTheFirst (2:07:51 AM): Make Knowledge: Nature checks, everyone.
coughingpuppy (2:08:01 AM): "Good." Aurelia glances up at the sky once a splash of rain hits her cheek, then starts heading back up for the line of trees before she can get completely soaked.
*OnlineHost* (2:08:03 AM): tortgurt rolled 1 20-sided die: 14
*OnlineHost* (2:08:16 AM): coughingpuppy rolled 1 20-sided die: 11
*OnlineHost* (2:08:29 AM): Adm H Sopko rolled 1 20-sided die: 18
tortgurt (2:08:31 AM): (that is wis right?)
coughingpuppy (2:08:33 AM): ((Oh, wait...nevermind, that's one of the knowledge skills I don't have.))
*OnlineHost* (2:08:48 AM): Chromeus18 rolled 1 20-sided die: 3
AndrewRogue (2:08:59 AM): (its Int Tort, and a Knowledge skill. So if you don't have it, you can only get a 10)
Chromeus18 (2:09:11 AM): i get whatever i rolled
Chromeus18 (2:09:18 AM): *on trillian*
tortgurt (2:09:21 AM): (so 10)
AndrewRogue (2:09:43 AM): (You rolled a 3 Chrome)
Adm H Sopko (2:09:47 AM): 10...
Chromeus18 (2:09:56 AM): 3 for me!
Chromeus18 (2:10:05 AM): (what's Jerri's HP like now Alex?)
Sarcazmo47 (2:10:15 AM): Soppy, you're a ranger and don't have any ranks in Knowledge:Nature?
SirAlexTheFirst (2:10:18 AM): Probably down around the 5 range.
Sarcazmo47 (2:10:43 AM): I applaud you for being nonstandard.
Adm H Sopko (2:10:44 AM): No... I focused on Survival
ForceJedi2001 (2:11:08 AM): ( and you know..having knowledge of nature..has NOTHING to do with survival..<G>)
SirAlexTheFirst (2:11:22 AM): Those getting 5 or above notice that there's entirely too much lightning going on now for a storm that's already mostly passed.
tortgurt (2:11:32 AM): (yay!!)
Adm H Sopko (2:11:39 AM): Oh boy...
AndrewRogue (2:11:45 AM): (Well... the difference is knowing that that plant is Agira lyxnopha and knowing... Plant poison! No eat!)
Chromeus18 (2:11:58 AM): *sacs all his level 3 spells for Cure Serious, now that he's not prone*
coughingpuppy (2:12:15 AM): Aurelia looks pretty confused for a second, and then, remembering what happened earlier a little too well, hauls ass for the treeline instead of just walking towards it.
*OnlineHost* (2:12:23 AM): Chromeus18 rolled 9 8-sided dice: 5 5 1 5 8 2 1 8 5
Chromeus18 (2:12:37 AM): anyone care to tell me totals?
AndrewRogue (2:12:48 AM): (551582185)
tortgurt (2:12:49 AM): 40
Chromeus18 (2:12:52 AM): and i'll hop on AIM if more dice rolling is needed
Chromeus18 (2:13:15 AM): 58 healage!
SirAlexTheFirst (2:13:56 AM): Who else is running for the trees?
Sarcazmo47 (2:14:07 AM): Jerri!
Sarcazmo47 (2:14:11 AM): He's running!
Chromeus18 (2:14:13 AM): *can't really even move!*
tortgurt (2:14:25 AM): (im running through the forest right?)
SirAlexTheFirst (2:14:45 AM): Yep
SirAlexTheFirst (2:14:50 AM): Hunter?
tortgurt (2:14:52 AM): (ok then)
Adm H Sopko (2:15:05 AM): When I recover from Wrack, I head over as well
coughingpuppy (2:15:24 AM): If Zane is lying out in the open, Aurelia will pull him to his feet and make sure he follows.
SirAlexTheFirst (2:15:25 AM): Hunter and Aurelia, Fort saves, then.
Chromeus18 (2:15:28 AM): *crawls for shelter in the forest*
*OnlineHost* (2:15:31 AM): coughingpuppy rolled 1 20-sided die: 2
SirAlexTheFirst (2:15:33 AM): And Zane too.
*OnlineHost* (2:15:34 AM): SirAlexTheFirst rolled 1 20-sided die: 12
coughingpuppy (2:15:34 AM): 12
Adm H Sopko (2:15:39 AM): If I need to, I pick up Jerry and carry him to where everyone is gathered
*OnlineHost* (2:15:41 AM): Adm H Sopko rolled 1 20-sided die: 4
Adm H Sopko (2:15:45 AM): 15
SirAlexTheFirst (2:15:57 AM): Congratulations, you're all Wracked. Again.
tortgurt (2:16:01 AM): (lol)
Adm H Sopko (2:16:04 AM): Jeez
coughingpuppy (2:16:21 AM): Aurelia has just enough time to wonder why Arryx is bothering NOW before she drops to the ground screaming.
tortgurt (2:16:32 AM): (so i guess then arryx can wrack at will, heh)
Sarcazmo47 (2:17:33 AM): ((When you can only cast your silent still spells, you tend to put them in a lot of spellslots.))
SirAlexTheFirst (2:17:50 AM): And... you're all blind.
Sarcazmo47 (2:18:00 AM): But not deaf!
Adm H Sopko (2:18:01 AM): ::Manages to get about halfway to Aurelia and Jerry before falling to wrack again. He is able to keep himself from crying out in pain this time though, even if his body cries out for it::
SirAlexTheFirst (2:18:15 AM): Oh
SirAlexTheFirst (2:18:20 AM): Jerri, Fort save.
SirAlexTheFirst (2:18:27 AM): Arryx Wracks you for fun.
tortgurt (2:18:37 AM): (yeah i guess)
AndrewRogue (2:18:38 AM): (Arryx really, really needs therapy <_<)
Chromeus18 (2:18:39 AM): that bastard
*OnlineHost* (2:18:43 AM): Chromeus18 rolled 1 20-sided die: 11
tortgurt (2:18:50 AM): (now he is just bored)
Chromeus18 (2:19:01 AM): +9
SirAlexTheFirst (2:19:05 AM): Success
Chromeus18 (2:19:11 AM): err...+11, this is spell like i imagine
Adm H Sopko (2:19:27 AM): 20, 22
Chromeus18 (2:19:31 AM): Arryx molests children
SirAlexTheFirst (2:19:35 AM): So.
tortgurt (2:19:59 AM): (awww dominated child pornography ring)
SirAlexTheFirst (2:20:11 AM): Through the various fogs of pain, the Wracked people hear several peals of thunder, gradually getting louder and closer.
SirAlexTheFirst (2:20:25 AM): And in much more rapid succession after a few seconds, too.
Chromeus18 (2:20:29 AM): *shrugs off that all too familiar feeling once again, and turns to the sword*
coughingpuppy (2:20:36 AM): Aurelia tries to get up and move towards the treeline in spite of the Wrack after she hears that.
SirAlexTheFirst (2:20:46 AM): Jerri gets to actually see the white bolts lancing across the sky.
SirAlexTheFirst (2:21:15 AM): Mm. Give me a Con check to do that.
*OnlineHost* (2:21:21 AM): coughingpuppy rolled 1 20-sided die: 19
coughingpuppy (2:21:24 AM): 22
Chromeus18 (2:21:30 AM): "Oh... sweet Tiyrael.."
SirAlexTheFirst (2:21:39 AM): You can stumble toward it, at about 5 feet/round.
coughingpuppy (2:21:46 AM): She does.
SirAlexTheFirst (2:21:51 AM): Wait.
SirAlexTheFirst (2:21:54 AM): She's also blind.
Sarcazmo47 (2:21:56 AM): Mmm, standing flat-footed for the thunderclap.
SirAlexTheFirst (2:22:00 AM): Intuit Direction?
*OnlineHost* (2:22:05 AM): coughingpuppy rolled 1 20-sided die: 14
coughingpuppy (2:22:14 AM): 21
SirAlexTheFirst (2:22:27 AM): Good enough to get your bearings.
coughingpuppy (2:22:42 AM): She stumbles in what she thinks is the line of trees, then.
tortgurt (2:22:55 AM): (heh exicute function ctrl, shift, kill)
Chromeus18 (2:22:59 AM): if everyone's on the ground in pain, i'm probably the tallest thing around
Chromeus18 (2:23:08 AM): or rather Aurelia!
SirAlexTheFirst (2:23:10 AM): You're a prone dwarf.
Chromeus18 (2:23:22 AM): i'm sittin up now
tortgurt (2:23:38 AM): (how large is arryx?)
(2:23:41 AM) Wrath Shadowstar has left the room.
SirAlexTheFirst (2:24:10 AM): Arryx is lying flat on the ground at the moment, in the cold and quite dead hand of Jacynth.
tortgurt (2:24:28 AM): (ahhh ok)
SirAlexTheFirst (2:24:31 AM): Anyways.
Adm H Sopko (2:24:36 AM): (Jac got owned like Trips against NEB)
SirAlexTheFirst (2:24:50 AM): NEB WINS.
SirAlexTheFirst (2:24:53 AM): Ahem.
tortgurt (2:25:02 AM): (huh?)
SirAlexTheFirst (2:25:42 AM): Is Jerri watching the sky in particular?
Chromeus18 (2:26:00 AM): yep, since the lightning is lancing the sky
Adm H Sopko (2:26:17 AM): (BCAT)
SirAlexTheFirst (2:26:52 AM): Then he notices that the lightning is forming an odd pattern, as well.
Chromeus18 (2:27:02 AM): nice
Chromeus18 (2:27:16 AM): anything i'd recognize?
SirAlexTheFirst (2:27:20 AM): The bolts are cloud to cloud only, and are flashing in the same places every couple of seconds.
SirAlexTheFirst (2:28:18 AM): The pattern happens to be two concentric circles, with several bolts going between them at regular intervals. It looks like nothing more than a giant wheel in the sky. And the center is directly above you.
AndrewRogue (2:28:53 AM): (...)
SirAlexTheFirst (2:30:06 AM): Doing anything, Jerri?
Sarcazmo47 (2:30:29 AM): He'll use his great feat of Strength to push the storm away.
Chromeus18 (2:31:06 AM): can't do much :P
SirAlexTheFirst (2:31:18 AM): You only lost one leg.
coughingpuppy (2:31:23 AM): ((You can hop!))
SirAlexTheFirst (2:31:23 AM): It's just a flesh wound!
ForceJedi2001 (2:31:35 AM): I'll bite your kneecaps off!
Chromeus18 (2:31:46 AM): oh yeah, is my leg lying around anywhere?
coughingpuppy (2:32:04 AM): ((....))
SirAlexTheFirst (2:32:06 AM): Half of it is.
SirAlexTheFirst (2:32:48 AM): The other half seems to have been dissolved or burnt by a sheen of black stuff that's happily rotting the remaining half as well.
SirAlexTheFirst (2:34:05 AM): After a short while, the lightning bolts are flashing near continuously, the sound has grown to a steady roar instead of individual thunderclaps, and it's more than obvious that something's wrong.
Chromeus18 (2:34:13 AM): *crawls over towards Hunter, who's currently on the Wrack*
AndrewRogue (2:34:33 AM): (Yar... BRB, bathroom)
Adm H Sopko (2:35:01 AM): ::His face is contorted in concentration, keeping himself from crying out in pain as the pain ravages his body::
coughingpuppy (2:36:25 AM): ((About when do I get to the treeline, Alex?))
SirAlexTheFirst (2:36:42 AM): (Sorry, Eric's come back...)
Chromeus18 (2:36:43 AM): "Just hold tight, Hunter..."
SirAlexTheFirst (2:37:00 AM): Aurelia stumbles into a tree right about now.
SirAlexTheFirst (2:37:08 AM): Jerri comforts Hunter.
coughingpuppy (2:37:46 AM): Aurelia smacks into a tree and curses for a moment before sinking to the ground next to it, leaning on it.
AndrewRogue (2:38:06 AM): (Back, in case it matters)
SirAlexTheFirst (2:38:09 AM): And a tower of lightning strikes down from the center of the cloud, hitting the insides of the slag metal circle.
(2:38:39 AM) AndrewRogue has left the room.
SirAlexTheFirst (2:39:13 AM): Oddly enough, this causes no thunderclap at all - in fact, the bolts in the clouds and the sound therefrom die back to a more normal storm level almost instantly.
SirAlexTheFirst (2:39:48 AM): Where the bolt struck, and incidentally in the positions they were right upon dying earlier, are none other than Verity and Phil.
(2:40:00 AM) AndrewRogue has entered the room.
AndrewRogue (2:40:34 AM): (*smacks the internet*)
SirAlexTheFirst (2:40:35 AM): Not, of course, that anyone but Jerri can see them.
SirAlexTheFirst (2:40:41 AM): At the moment.
Chromeus18 (2:42:00 AM): *sees it*
Sarcazmo47 (2:42:12 AM): Verity appears kneeling, palms pressed against the earth and his eyes closed.
Sarcazmo47 (2:43:52 AM): The leather strap that bound his hair behind him now glistens silver, tinted in red. His clothes are black and flowing, and without his armor, it's apparent that he is not a bulky man.
ForceJedi2001 (2:44:07 AM): * phil appears, laying in the spot od burnt grass and ground that he had died on, he quickly raises his head and blinks his eyes. slowly he stands up and eyes the surrounding battlefield.*
Sarcazmo47 (2:44:28 AM): After a moment, he leans his head back and surveys his surroundings, standing slowly.
Sarcazmo47 (2:45:13 AM): The scars you recall remain, but the dirt and blood of the battlefield is gone, leaving only his eyes unchanged.
ForceJedi2001 (2:45:17 AM): * brushing off his black clothing and armor he steps closer to verity and sweeps a glance over the field where all the Pc's lay&
Sarcazmo47 (2:46:12 AM): Finally bringing himself to his full height, he looks around himself, taking in his surroundings. He notes the others in various positions of torment, then finally looks to his feet.
Chromeus18 (2:46:16 AM): *blinks*
Sarcazmo47 (2:46:17 AM): And sees the dismembered elf.
Sarcazmo47 (2:46:57 AM): Finally, a voice familiar to some can be heard. "Did you think you'd be rid of me, Arryx?"
coughingpuppy (2:48:11 AM): Aurelia turns her head towards the voice, suddenly very puzzled, mostly because thinking is a bit of a haze right now, and things would be much much easier if she could SEE.
SirAlexTheFirst (2:48:51 AM): The Wracks wear off right about now, actually.
SirAlexTheFirst (2:51:41 AM): Arryx isn't saying anything either.
Sarcazmo47 (2:51:46 AM): Verity's eyes are clouded with conflicting emotions, a window to a soul that has become a battleground. But his voice is strong and steely, the voice of a man who is prepared to fight and die for what he must.
Chromeus18 (2:51:49 AM): *shakes Hunter back to his senses*
Sarcazmo47 (2:52:17 AM): When no answer is forthcoming, Verity will very calmly plant a boot on Jac's dead wrist and pry his sword from the elf's dead hand.
Adm H Sopko (2:52:20 AM): ::Struggles to a kneeling position, looking around to see whats going on. He smiles as he sees Jerry:: "Damn good to see you up and about, Jerry. Where is Aurelia?"
ForceJedi2001 (2:52:37 AM): * lets his cloak catch the storms dying wind, and lets it fly open, whiping about his body vioolently while eyeing the others.*
coughingpuppy (2:52:50 AM): It takes her a second or two to shake it off and get to her feet, blinking, as her eyes sweep the battlefield. Once she notes Verity down by Arryx, she then looks about for Zane with an irritated expression.
Chromeus18 (2:53:15 AM): "She fled off into the woods. What in blazes is going on?"
Chromeus18 (2:53:31 AM): *keeps his voice low*
Adm H Sopko (2:53:44 AM): "You expect me to know?" ::Looks around more and blinks as he sees Verity and Phil:: "It's them..."
coughingpuppy (2:53:51 AM): ((Can I see Zane anywhere, Alex?))
Sarcazmo47 (2:53:52 AM): Blade in hand, Verity will next stride over to where Zane is.
coughingpuppy (2:54:36 AM): Aurelia just rolls her eyes. "Stop being an ass, Zane, and get up here."
Sarcazmo47 (2:55:35 AM): Verity's head snaps around when he hears Aurelia's voice, and he quickly locks eyes with her.
Chromeus18 (2:55:46 AM): "It's my fault that Jac is dead... we have to deal with that accursed Arryx."
coughingpuppy (2:56:37 AM): Aurelia looks startled when Verity looks straight at her. Is that not Zane after all? Stranger things have happened, but she'd at first assumed it was just some shape-changing and mirror imaging.
SirAlexTheFirst (2:57:11 AM): mmmm.
SirAlexTheFirst (2:58:19 AM): Zane will probably try to get the heck out of dodge here.
Sarcazmo47 (2:58:19 AM): His voice is unmistakable, but even so, the tone of driven command is one that Zane has never replicated. "You survived."
SirAlexTheFirst (2:58:50 AM): Alas, Verity is at him first, and he no longer has crazy shadowjumping invisible madness.
SirAlexTheFirst (2:59:02 AM): So he'll kinda sit around.
Adm H Sopko (2:59:13 AM): "It's okay, Jerriford. Grieving can wait... we have a situation on our hands..." ::He struggles to stand, helping Jerri to stand and heading over to Verity and Aurelia:: "I could say the same about you being
Adm H Sopko (2:59:15 AM): alive."
Sarcazmo47 (2:59:32 AM): Well, first, Verity and Aurelia are in seperate places.
coughingpuppy (2:59:35 AM): "It would seem so." She starts down the hill towards the two of them, hand on the hilt of her sword.
ForceJedi2001 (3:00:04 AM): *eyes her approach and calmly lays his hand on the hilt of his blade*
Sarcazmo47 (3:00:11 AM): Verity will look at Zane and say, in a reasonable tone Aurelia knows to be contrived, "My effects, please."
coughingpuppy (3:00:23 AM): ((Quote steal!))
Sarcazmo47 (3:00:34 AM): ((Eh?))
coughingpuppy (3:00:56 AM): ((I just heard Jack Sparrow in my head.))
SirAlexTheFirst (3:00:58 AM): Zane gives Verity his stuff back... what remains of it,
coughingpuppy (3:01:11 AM): ((Wow, Zane is pansying out.))
Adm H Sopko (3:01:25 AM): ::Holds Jerri up, looking to them all::
Sarcazmo47 (3:01:49 AM): That's fine. Verity simply places it all in the bag and hangs it off his belt, not bothering to try to outfit himself right now.
Chromeus18 (3:02:06 AM): *realizes how hard it is to balance when a chunk of your body is gone*
Sarcazmo47 (3:02:33 AM): Then, Arryx still in hand, he'll look up calmly at whomever is coming over to where he is first.
Adm H Sopko (3:02:59 AM): That'd be me
tortgurt (3:03:11 AM): (aparently it is very hard to regain balance for a few days after losing your big toe)
Adm H Sopko (3:03:35 AM): (It's also harder than you think after losing your little toe)
Sarcazmo47 (3:03:49 AM): "Ah. The boy hero. What do you want?"
tortgurt (3:03:54 AM): (i could imagine, i wonder about any of the central ones)
coughingpuppy (3:04:02 AM): Aurelia draws her sword, eyes flicking alternately between Zane and Hunter.
Adm H Sopko (3:04:18 AM): ::Smirks:: "Nothing in particular. What do you intend to do with that sword?"
Sarcazmo47 (3:04:53 AM): Verity looks at him for a moment, narrowing his eyes for a moment in what might be polite confusion. "I intend to insert it into people. Do you do something different with yours?"
AndrewRogue (3:05:44 AM): (...XD)
Adm H Sopko (3:06:00 AM): ::Chuckles:: "Touche, Verity... So... you're back... Can't say I'm relieved."
Sarcazmo47 (3:06:40 AM): "How fortunate that I don't care." At that, he'll step around Hunter and walk to stand in front of Aurelia.
Sarcazmo47 (3:06:47 AM): Unless, of course, someone goes to stop him.
Adm H Sopko (3:07:04 AM): "Well, you're trapped here, if you didn't know. Any plans?"
Sarcazmo47 (3:07:43 AM): Verity may or may not intend to respond to that. But right now, his attention is focused squarely on the elf with the acid scarring.
Sarcazmo47 (3:08:20 AM): He steps up directly facing her. Is she meeting his gaze?
coughingpuppy (3:08:59 AM): Aurelia just glances up at him with a raised eyebrow, resting the point of her sword on the ground and resting both hands on the hilt.
Sarcazmo47 (3:09:44 AM): Verity is just looking at her, his expression one that she's not familiar with. He seems to be searching her face for something. "I'm pleased to see you survived."
coughingpuppy (3:11:36 AM): She gives him a vague smile. "And it's good to see you back here, however unexpected."
Sarcazmo47 (3:12:52 AM): Verity continues to search her for a moment, the apparently gives up on whatever it is he was looking for, and the tone of his voice shifts to one she's much more familiar with.
Sarcazmo47 (3:13:03 AM): "I've learned of something that may interest you."
Sarcazmo47 (3:13:33 AM): "I'll tell you more once we've reestablished a foundation."
Sarcazmo47 (3:13:55 AM): He'll give her a respectful nod and then turn to face the whelp.
Sarcazmo47 (3:14:27 AM): "Now, boy. You pester me as if you have a point. So what is it?"
coughingpuppy (3:14:28 AM): She nods, following his eyes to Hunter.
AndrewRogue (3:15:36 AM): (back in a moment)
Adm H Sopko (3:16:11 AM): ::Smiles vaguely:: "My question stands. What do you intend to do now that you're stuck in this world? Assuming, of course, you don't find a way back."
Chromeus18 (3:17:14 AM): *doesn't jump on the smiley bandwagon*
Sarcazmo47 (3:18:29 AM): Verity, who is not smiling, cocks his head to the side slightly. "What I must. I believe that should suffice for an answer. Do you intend to make my plans your buisness?"
Adm H Sopko (3:19:06 AM): "It depends on what you intend to do. Is it along the lines of what you were doing before this whole event?"
Sarcazmo47 (3:20:33 AM): Verity will smile at that - altough it's a smile bereft of humor. "You have no idea what I was doing. I doubt you even know what you are doing. Perhaps I mean to murder women and children and drink their blood."
coughingpuppy (3:20:46 AM): Aurelia's wondering the same thing too, but remains silent. She's trying to keep as focused as she can on what's going on but keep an eye on Zane, too.
Adm H Sopko (3:22:04 AM): ::Cringes inwardly as that strike hits home. It doesn't register on his face at all though:: "Well, the good people of Begres might have something to say about that... if we can rehabilitate the survivors."
ForceJedi2001 (3:22:44 AM): (alright guys I need to hit bed, early class tomorrow, just have me follow Verity around for right now)
SirAlexTheFirst (3:22:50 AM): (Good night.)
coughingpuppy (3:22:55 AM): (('Night.))
(3:22:57 AM) ForceJedi2001 has left the room.
Sarcazmo47 (3:23:07 AM): "I really don't care what they have to say about it. They are not people of consequence, and those that are charged with their protection failed them."
Chromeus18 (3:23:35 AM): *bites his lip hard*
Sarcazmo47 (3:23:59 AM): "If you live long enough, you'll find that most of those that style themselves protectors fail their people at the first sign of hardship."
Adm H Sopko (3:26:36 AM): "Quite the cynic, aren't we? With that little toy sword at your side, it's no wonder you can speak the way you have."
coughingpuppy (3:26:57 AM): "Call him a cynic when you've been forced to make a real decision."
Sarcazmo47 (3:27:51 AM): Verity snorts. "My father carried this blade, child, and you'll speak of it with respect. I've killed better men than you with it."
AndrewRogue (3:28:10 AM): (Double PWNage to Soppy)
SirAlexTheFirst (3:28:59 AM): Make that triple, with a Fort save.
AndrewRogue (3:29:17 AM): (XD)
Chromeus18 (3:29:36 AM): "...I've seen what it does firsthand. So you're a willing slave to this abomination?"
Adm H Sopko (3:29:46 AM): "Better men than me, huh? That says a whole lot..." ::Turns to Aurelia and ends the self-deprication:: "Make a real decision? Who was it that decided to let you live when you wandered up to us? You might not have been
Adm H Sopko (3:30:03 AM): as lucky as Verity if coming back if Tarin had killed you."
Sarcazmo47 (3:30:13 AM): Uhh....do you have time to say all that stuff before the fort save?
*OnlineHost* (3:30:25 AM): Adm H Sopko rolled 1 20-sided die: 9
Adm H Sopko (3:30:30 AM): 20
SirAlexTheFirst (3:30:44 AM): Success.
Sarcazmo47 (3:31:05 AM): Man, Arryx turned pansy in this world.
AndrewRogue (3:32:30 AM): (He's going easy on us <_<)
Sarcazmo47 (3:32:35 AM): Verity will look to the dwarf, and the carefully crafted expression of dry amusment will abandon his face. "I am no slave. The one in this blade is bound to me, and I to it. I am the only one that it cannot enslave."
Sarcazmo47 (3:33:19 AM): Now all that remains on his visage is smouldering anger, not specifically at Jerri but very obvious.
coughingpuppy (3:33:39 AM): Aurelia watches Hunter for a moment or two, but doesn't answer. In her opinion, it's a measure of how little he's faced that he thought that sort of decision was a difficult one.
Chromeus18 (3:34:41 AM): "Yet ye speak the same words as it does.... Can ye say the same without it in your hands?"
Sarcazmo47 (3:35:23 AM): "My words are my own. Blame Tyr, not Arryx, if you do not like the sound of them."
Adm H Sopko (3:35:45 AM): "Tyr? Who is that?"
Adm H Sopko (3:36:25 AM): "Do you mean Tiyrael?"
Sarcazmo47 (3:37:55 AM): "Perhaps."
Chromeus18 (3:38:26 AM): "What do you mean by that?"
Sarcazmo47 (3:39:47 AM): Verity will close his eyes for a moment to collect himself, then look again to the dwarf. "I don't know what name he may go by here. Perhaps they are one and the same, perhaps they are not."
Sarcazmo47 (3:40:32 AM): "It is irrelevant anyway. From what I know of this place, they are both betrayers anyway."
SirAlexTheFirst (3:40:51 AM): (Zing.)
AndrewRogue (3:41:10 AM): (Ouch. There is massive zing-age in this conversation.)
Chromeus18 (3:41:36 AM): "Ye'd watch your tongue when you speak of Tiyrael."
Chromeus18 (3:42:00 AM): *gives a most hateful stare at Verity*
Sarcazmo47 (3:42:51 AM): The corner of his mouth turns upward. "Ah, a faithful zealot warns me against telling truths. Yes, I can see the forces of good hold true sway in this land."
coughingpuppy (3:43:20 AM): Aurelia just raises an eyebrow at the exchange. A god is a god, as far as she's concerned.
Sarcazmo47 (3:46:28 AM): And then the rather sudden end of the world put a stop to any troublesome need to respond.
SirAlexTheFirst (3:46:48 AM): .....
AndrewRogue (3:46:50 AM): (<_< People are being quiet...)
Adm H Sopko (3:46:59 AM): ::Rolls his eyes at the exchange:: "Before we get into a religious argument, I'll break it down simple. Do you intend to go around killing and such as you did before, regardless of reason or worth, or are you at least going to
Adm H Sopko (3:47:12 AM): find a peaceful way to get home?"
Chromeus18 (3:47:52 AM): "Your delusional 'truths' mean nothing to me."
Adm H Sopko (3:49:12 AM): ::Turns to Jerri:: "Jerriford, please. I'd rather not get sucked into a religious argument. They're not from here and might not even know what we mean."
Chromeus18 (3:49:45 AM): *sighs, and rebalances himself*
Sarcazmo47 (3:49:49 AM): "Good. Then you'll meet the fate you deserve." Then he'll look at Hunter.
Sarcazmo47 (3:49:55 AM): "Consider for a moment, child. My intentions are my own. You mean to ask me my intentions and trust in nothing but my honor that they will stay the same?"
Sarcazmo47 (3:50:18 AM): "How do you propose to know the truth if I lie to you?"
Sarcazmo47 (3:50:37 AM): "What do you propose to do if my intentions do not suit you?"
Adm H Sopko (3:50:49 AM): "Who said trust was involved? I never expected you to tell me the truth anyway. I thought I'd amuse myself at your response."
AndrewRogue (3:51:10 AM): (C'mon children, play nice <_<)
Sarcazmo47 (3:52:03 AM): "Then your purpose is served. You may leave."
Adm H Sopko (3:55:02 AM): "Whatever." ::He looks to Aurelia and Zane:: "I might not be him, but my invitation from before still stands."
SirAlexTheFirst (3:55:44 AM): (Nooo. VERY NOOO.)
Adm H Sopko (3:56:00 AM): ((Does it fucking matter?
Adm H Sopko (3:56:19 AM): ((This whole thing has been pointless. We're back to fucking square one)
AndrewRogue (3:56:29 AM): (Mrrrk? </stealing Alex's line>)
tortgurt (3:56:39 AM): (not entirley, he has his armor off...)
SirAlexTheFirst (3:56:50 AM): (I stole that line already....)
SirAlexTheFirst (3:57:19 AM): (And my NOO was to "Whatever." Please, please, do not make me see Hunter as Squall.)
AndrewRogue (3:57:48 AM): (</stealing the line that Alex has already stolen, so in esscensce is stealing from someone else> Whew, and ew, never, EVER say that name again Alex. Please.)
Chromeus18 (3:57:50 AM): (Squall said "....." most of the time. Whatever was his backup line.)
Adm H Sopko (3:58:17 AM): (I. Don't. Care.)
coughingpuppy (3:59:03 AM): Aurelia just frowns at him. "An invitation to have my every action watched? Zane can follow you if he will."
coughingpuppy (3:59:17 AM): But she still isn't sure if it's a good idea to head out into a completely unfamiliar plane, she just doesn't want to point that out to Verity in front of the group.
Sarcazmo47 (3:59:39 AM): ((You have no faith.))
Chromeus18 (4:00:12 AM): (Verity watches you when you pee? sicko.)
Adm H Sopko (4:00:16 AM): (Yup. Cause verity magically learned everything he needs to know about this world while dead)
AndrewRogue (4:00:49 AM): (Nyao?)
Adm H Sopko (4:02:13 AM): ::Shrugs:: "I suppose you're right. You know whats best for yourself after all, and where your loyalties lie, so I can't blame you for that."
coughingpuppy (4:03:11 AM): "I know where my loyalties lie more than he does. You might want to remember that when you have him at your back."
Sarcazmo47 (4:03:50 AM): Verity seems to be considering both Jerri and Hunter for a moment, then comes to a decision and speaks.
Sarcazmo47 (4:04:57 AM): "I'll make both of you a similar offer. I imagine you've already observed the strengths of my companions. Join us. Then I will make all my intentions clear, and share what power I have."
Adm H Sopko (4:05:39 AM): ::Shakes his head:: "No can do... while I still search for a purpose, I also know where my loyalties lie."
Sarcazmo47 (4:06:32 AM): Verity's eyes glint. "A purpose. There is one to be found with me, boy hero, and not one nearly as distatasteful as you seem to imagine."
Chromeus18 (4:06:33 AM): "Sir Throkk himself would come and have my head if i sided with you."
Adm H Sopko (4:07:48 AM): ::Snickers at the sound of that nickname:: "Boy hero, huh? Well, if you'd like to have a complete and utter jynx in your party, thats your thing... but I still must decline."
Sarcazmo47 (4:07:54 AM): "This world is stagnant. I will change that. I will bring a new dawn to this place. Stand by me, and you will have a hand in what will be."
Sarcazmo47 (4:08:13 AM): His voice is steel.
Sarcazmo47 (4:08:22 AM): He sounds dedicated.
Sarcazmo47 (4:08:25 AM): He sounds driven.
coughingpuppy (4:08:32 AM): At that line from Hunter Aurelia can't help but roll her eyes at him. Who deprecates himself in front of a potential ally?
Adm H Sopko (4:08:41 AM): ((::Rushes to join he army:: ))
Sarcazmo47 (4:08:55 AM): More, listening to his voice, you can't help but wonder if maybe, just maybe, he can do what he claims.
tortgurt (4:09:07 AM): (*signs name on dotted line*)
Chromeus18 (4:09:14 AM): "What sort of remedy do you have for stagnation?"
Sarcazmo47 (4:10:17 AM): "I do as I must, man. I imagine you do the same. If you decline, then I will do what it seems to me I must. Join me and your voice will be one that contributes to that answer."
Adm H Sopko (4:10:56 AM): ::Chuckles a bit:: "No offense, but I've heard better lines from Asguard recruiting posters... I still must decline, though. You are obviously a man who might be able to change things. But there is more than one path. I'd
Adm H Sopko (4:11:01 AM): rather find that one."
coughingpuppy (4:12:31 AM): "If you're as unlucky as you claim, that might be a waste. At least join a cause that you realize will go somewhere."
Sarcazmo47 (4:13:09 AM): "You said you lack purpose. And you'll never find one as long as you let your pride stand in the way of your destiny."
Adm H Sopko (4:13:29 AM): "Is that a way to live life though? Always riding on a sure thing? Those sure things aren't always so sure, as I've learned so far."
Adm H Sopko (4:14:51 AM): "I've fucked up along the way, but I'm still standing here, aren't I? I'm fine with myself how I am. My pride is a problem I must remedy, but it is not what is preventing me from joining you."
Sarcazmo47 (4:15:14 AM): Verity smiles, and a glint of cold humor shows through. "If kept my cause to what was sure, boy hero, I'd still be a man-at-arms. My cause is not sure. My cause is the future."
Sarcazmo47 (4:15:23 AM): "And more's the pity that there is no assurance of a future."
Chromeus18 (4:15:29 AM): "From what you say, you sound like you're just gonna stir up trouble. What do you find stagnant, and what are you going to do about it?"
Sarcazmo47 (4:17:34 AM): "Trouble? Yes, of course. You brought some trouble to me, as I recall. Trouble is necessary. Yes, I will stir up trouble. I will cause trouble, and dissent. I will bring change."
Sarcazmo47 (4:18:01 AM): "And change serves the light as often as it serves darkness."
Adm H Sopko (4:19:31 AM): "There is no dark without light, after all. We've got enough troubles here, though, and supposedly more we don't even know about. It's beginning to overwhelm Amaryllis already."
Sarcazmo47 (4:20:20 AM): "And you wish to see them stopped? You wish to see them brought under control?"
Adm H Sopko (4:21:13 AM): "Of course. Isn't that what all boy heros want?" ::He says with a sarcastic smile::
coughingpuppy (4:21:45 AM): Aurelia's watching the two carefully. She thinks they would have much more success offering to join Hunter instead - appealing to his ego and whatnot - but she knows Verity too well to think that he would actually do that.
Sarcazmo47 (4:22:03 AM): He closes his open hand into a fist. "Then join me, and together we can make it happen."
Adm H Sopko (4:22:22 AM): (You're not my father, are you?)
AndrewRogue (4:22:35 AM): (*stamps with the Yaoi Stamp of Doom, just 'cause he can*)
Adm H Sopko (4:22:58 AM): (DAMNIT! Always with the yaoi stamp!)
AndrewRogue (4:23:25 AM): (Hey, I'd much rather be utilizing the Yuri Stamp of Joy, but you aren't making it happen man :p)
Adm H Sopko (4:24:26 AM): ::Hunter considers this for a moment:: ~What do you think, Jerry? I could counteroffer a merger of similar interests... or would that be pointless to begin with?~
Chromeus18 (4:24:52 AM): (Jerri doesn't have a circlet)
Adm H Sopko (4:25:14 AM): (Didn't we give him one?)
Chromeus18 (4:25:35 AM): (nope)
AndrewRogue (4:25:51 AM): (back in a moment in the event it matters)
tortgurt (4:26:36 AM): (*still runningish*)
Adm H Sopko (4:27:30 AM): "What would joining you entail? I can't make a decision without know what you plan on doing."
Chromeus18 (4:27:39 AM): "I'll travel with you. If for nothing else, out of curiosity."
Adm H Sopko (4:27:39 AM): knowing
Chromeus18 (4:28:03 AM): *gives Hunter a squeeze on the shoulder*
Sarcazmo47 (4:29:40 AM): Verity inclines his head. "I understand. But I cannot reveal my secrets to those that are not my allies."
AndrewRogue (4:29:50 AM): (Back)
Chromeus18 (4:30:28 AM): "Then don't. Time will tell if we'll be allies or enemies in the long run."
Adm H Sopko (4:31:04 AM): ::He nods, giving Jerry a small look of surprise as he thinks it over:: (What would Grenseal do?)
Chromeus18 (4:32:05 AM): "Come on Hunter, we might as well."
Sarcazmo47 (4:32:15 AM): "Then, offer me your allegiance for only a time, then. A month, perhaps."
Adm H Sopko (4:33:46 AM): ::Sighs:: "I suppose I'll have to follow my friend's intuition. And a month is agreed, however, I have my own terms as well."
Chromeus18 (4:34:01 AM): "You'll have no allegiance, only comradery."
Chromeus18 (4:34:29 AM): "....errr.. Hunter, you decide."
Adm H Sopko (4:34:52 AM): ~Not like there is much of a choice at this point.~
Adm H Sopko (4:34:56 AM): (To Jerry)
Adm H Sopko (4:35:10 AM): (He can still hear me, since I'm close enough.)
coughingpuppy (4:36:05 AM): Aurelia frowns after a moment and glances up at Verity. She looks like she might suggest something, but then decides to remain silent to see what decision Jerri and Hunter eventually arrive at.
(4:37:41 AM) Sarcazmo47 has left the room.
(4:38:05 AM) Sarcazmo47 has entered the room.
Chromeus18 (4:40:24 AM): "Well, I suggest a pact of comradery. *to Hunter* Hunter, you can decide the terms, and I'll help, *to Verity* but we can't simply become pawns to use as you see fit."
Sarcazmo47 (4:42:28 AM): Verity will nod to Jerri, "Your aid, then, and faith in arms. For one month."
Chromeus18 (4:43:17 AM): "Why do you add the time constraint?"
Sarcazmo47 (4:43:58 AM): Verity blinks. "If you don't need it, then don't have it."
Adm H Sopko (4:45:29 AM): "Beside that. I just have a request. No gratuitous killing of innocents. I won't be a part of another Begres, at least one that is under my understanding of the situation. I'm not asking you to become goody-two-shoes, but the
Adm H Sopko (4:45:48 AM): key word is self-control."
AndrewRogue (4:46:10 AM): (So... non-gratuitous killing is acceptable? <_<)
coughingpuppy (4:46:18 AM): Aurelia frowns at him. "We only kill when it becomes necessary. There's nothing gratuitous about it."
Sarcazmo47 (4:46:48 AM): "If you join me, your voice will be heard. You can count on that."
Adm H Sopko (4:47:23 AM): "Voice will be heard, yes. Thats not what worries me."
Chromeus18 (4:48:17 AM): (i'm not gonna last much longer)
Chromeus18 (4:48:27 AM): (pillow seems so inviting...)
Adm H Sopko (4:48:58 AM): "Again, as naive as it sounds from my earlier words, a degree of trust IS involved here."
Sarcazmo47 (4:49:26 AM): Verity gestures back towards Aurelia. "As she says. I am not a bloodthirsty man. I do what I must. If your strength is sufficient, another Begres will not be necessary."
Chromeus18 (4:50:37 AM): *shuts his eyes tightly, and reopens them* "We will be privy to your reasons behind your actions, right?"
Sarcazmo47 (4:50:48 AM): Verity nods again. "Of course."
Adm H Sopko (4:51:22 AM): "Fine. This will be an alliance then. We are allies, not your own people. We will follow you, but remember that you still do not command us as pawns."
Chromeus18 (4:51:57 AM): "And kindly keep that sword away from me."
Sarcazmo47 (4:52:20 AM): Verity smiles ferally at Jerri at that comment. "As my ally, you have no reason to fear it."
Sarcazmo47 (4:53:36 AM): Then he faces Hunter and asssumes what appears to be a vaguely millitary pose, although it's not from a military you recognize. Verity salutes Hunter with his sword, then extends his left hand. "Your oath, sir."
Adm H Sopko (4:54:46 AM): ::Hunter has his own odd ritual. He licks his thumb before shaking hands with Verity:: "And yours as well."
Adm H Sopko (4:55:55 AM): ::He then smirks inwardly:: ~Some things will never die...`
Sarcazmo47 (4:56:15 AM): "I swear on my father before me and my son that follows me, that I will reward aid with aid, strength with strength, and loyalty with faith. As you lend me your strength and your aid, so shall I lend you mine."
Adm H Sopko (4:57:21 AM): "Then may my friends be yours, and our strengths combined."
Chromeus18 (4:57:27 AM): (*whacks Verity in the balls* no sons from j00)
Sarcazmo47 (4:58:30 AM): Verity nods and performs the same ritual before Jerri.
Sarcazmo47 (4:58:59 AM): ((Too late, guy.))
Chromeus18 (4:59:09 AM): (heh)
Chromeus18 (5:00:32 AM): *nods* "Ye've got yourself another healing hand."
Sarcazmo47 (5:01:55 AM): Verity nods and steps back laxly, then with a sudden motion casts the blade down into the dirt, letting it stand free as ruby red flames suddenly appear on the length of the blade.
Sarcazmo47 (5:02:04 AM): "Then it is sealed."
Chromeus18 (5:02:20 AM): "Jac... deserves a proper burial. I'll go see to that now."
SirAlexTheFirst (5:02:50 AM): Jacynth's corpse is gone.
SirAlexTheFirst (5:03:10 AM): So is the re-deaded Zombie Wolf.
Adm H Sopko (5:03:17 AM): (Careful, there are elf necrophiliacs about)
Sarcazmo47 (5:03:22 AM): Verity waits a moment, then grasps the blade again and homes it in a simple leather sheath.
coughingpuppy (5:03:38 AM): ((She is not a necrophiliac, despite what Zane might say. :-P))
Chromeus18 (5:03:41 AM): *looks, and see's it's gone* "....Well... a remembrance will suffice at least."
Sarcazmo47 (5:03:50 AM): Shall we break here?
Adm H Sopko (5:04:02 AM): (I mean necrophiliacs who have sex with dead elves<G.)
coughingpuppy (5:04:06 AM): I'm all for that. It's five here.
Adm H Sopko (5:04:12 AM): (Fine with me)]
Chromeus18 (5:04:18 AM): (yes, let's)
SirAlexTheFirst (5:04:23 AM): Yep
AndrewRogue (5:04:24 AM): (Tat's fine)
Adm H Sopko (5:04:46 AM): Boy oh boy... back to square 1 + 1
Sarcazmo47 (5:04:50 AM): Well. That's Verity, folks.
Adm H Sopko (5:04:58 AM): Whoopie
Chromeus18 (5:05:12 AM): you forgot to stutter your Th
AndrewRogue (5:05:28 AM): Actually, we're to a side of square 1. The positive or negative...? Who knows ^_^
Sarcazmo47 (5:05:42 AM): I take it you're not impressed, Sopko?
coughingpuppy (5:05:44 AM): It'll probably turn out better than your characters think, don't worry.
Adm H Sopko (5:05:48 AM): I like him an all
Adm H Sopko (5:05:51 AM): and even
Adm H Sopko (5:06:14 AM): I'm just... a bit frustrated. Though I guess it is for the best
SirAlexTheFirst (5:06:20 AM): This turned out interestingly.
Sarcazmo47 (5:06:27 AM): Frustrated why?
AndrewRogue (5:06:32 AM): *imitates Glaysa*
coughingpuppy (5:07:14 AM): Mrrrrrk. Staci must go to bed. 'Night, guys. Good game.
AndrewRogue (5:07:26 AM): Night Staci.
SirAlexTheFirst (5:07:27 AM): Night
Adm H Sopko (5:07:33 AM): Well, we finally accomplish something in killing Verity, be it good or bad, and it gets instantly reversed. Now we're teaming up with him...
tortgurt (5:07:34 AM): night
(5:07:37 AM) coughingpuppy has left the room.
Chromeus18 (5:07:38 AM): nite, i'm heading there as well
AndrewRogue (5:07:48 AM): Night Chrome.
Chromeus18 (5:07:54 AM): xp Alex?
tortgurt (5:07:58 AM): heh i may go get my average of 4 hours of sleep soon
Sarcazmo47 (5:08:00 AM): You didn't kill Verity. A bunch of NPCs killed Verity.
Adm H Sopko (5:08:06 AM): I KNOW
tortgurt (5:08:17 AM): but damn they killed him hard
SirAlexTheFirst (5:08:18 AM): No.
Adm H Sopko (5:08:20 AM): Jesus, fucking details
SirAlexTheFirst (5:08:23 AM): They killed Verity.
Sarcazmo47 (5:08:28 AM): Damn Them!
Chromeus18 (5:08:52 AM): i wouldn't ask if i wasn't behind everyone by an entire level
SirAlexTheFirst (5:09:00 AM): XP?
SirAlexTheFirst (5:09:04 AM): XD!
SirAlexTheFirst (5:09:07 AM): No.
Chromeus18 (5:09:25 AM): or, ok
Adm H Sopko (5:09:28 AM): No XP?
SirAlexTheFirst (5:09:33 AM): 750 for everyone.
Adm H Sopko (5:09:35 AM): ah
Sarcazmo47 (5:09:41 AM): What I meant was, I'd think it wouldn't be worth it to be upset about something being reversed that you didn't actually do. You've not had any of your accomplishments set back.
Sarcazmo47 (5:10:00 AM): And, uh, you didn't exactly have to join up with the guy.
Adm H Sopko (5:10:03 AM): BTW, you didn't give XP for the session where it was Aurelia and I (and bigsbie) breaking off from Aria and Bandon to head here.
AndrewRogue (5:10:04 AM): Everyone, excepting moi correct?
Sarcazmo47 (5:10:06 AM): You could have rendered him dead again.
Chromeus18 (5:10:42 AM): hah, Arryx can Wrack multiple people in a turn
Adm H Sopko (5:10:49 AM): Yeah, I'd like to see the luck with that...
SirAlexTheFirst (5:10:55 AM): Arryx is angry.
Sarcazmo47 (5:11:14 AM): Seeing as how Verity has....oh....how much equipment was it, again? Oh right, none.
Chromeus18 (5:11:21 AM): i'm gonna kill you, Verity! Arryx: no *WRACK*
Chromeus18 (5:12:05 AM): 3 minutes of utter helplessness kills anyone
Adm H Sopko (5:12:06 AM): As well as other fun tricks and spells Arryx has.
AndrewRogue (5:12:12 AM): Soppy has a good save vs Wrack. Honestly, I'd expect better DCs from the Pit Fiend. *Glaysa imitation continues*
Chromeus18 (5:12:34 AM): Jerri does too, but it only takes one failure
Adm H Sopko (5:12:54 AM): Plus, my boosts will be wearing off soon...
Chromeus18 (5:13:01 AM): and Verity can coup de grace someone a million times
Adm H Sopko (5:13:12 AM): This whole thing has happened in a matter of hours...
(5:13:16 AM) Chromeus18 has left the room.
tortgurt (5:13:25 AM): yeah
SirAlexTheFirst (5:13:27 AM): So many assumptions, so many people in tizzies.
(5:13:39 AM) Chromeus18 has entered the room.
Adm H Sopko (5:13:56 AM): Yeah yeah yeah. With the description Aurelia gave the sword, Hunter ain't takin no chances.
AndrewRogue (5:14:00 AM): I ain't in a tizzy :p I'm just so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so lost.
Chromeus18 (5:14:12 AM): Jerri knows firsthand
Chromeus18 (5:14:27 AM): you can hold the person, but the sword will still Wrack your ass to hell and back
Chromeus18 (5:15:06 AM): Magic Circle Against Evil is becoming a staple spell now
Sarcazmo47 (5:15:28 AM): Does Hunter feel clever about crossing his fingers behind his back?
Adm H Sopko (5:15:51 AM): Hunter is more or less honest in this...
Sarcazmo47 (5:16:14 AM): Wasn't my question.
Adm H Sopko (5:16:58 AM): Then it'd have to be a no. He thinks this whole situation is stupid, stupid, stupid
Sarcazmo47 (5:17:25 AM): Interesting.
Adm H Sopko (5:18:38 AM): He doesn't want to be there more than ever now, but feels too drawn in and trapped at this point. He needed to see what Verity had to offer, he's got nothing else at this point aside from the group
Chromeus18 (5:19:04 AM): i guess Jerri kinda paved the way
Adm H Sopko (5:19:44 AM): Hmm... what direction can I take Hunter in now?<G> I tried the trader, I tried the leader... the gopher sounds right.
Chromeus18 (5:19:45 AM): Jerri needs to be fitted for a peg leg too
SirAlexTheFirst (5:19:55 AM): Tried the leader?
Sarcazmo47 (5:19:59 AM): An ADAMANTINE peg leg!
Sarcazmo47 (5:20:05 AM): With spikes!
SirAlexTheFirst (5:20:18 AM): Self-deprecation doesn't work well as a leader trait, unless it's accompanied by massive awesome badassitude.
Chromeus18 (5:20:34 AM): adamantine peg leg with +2 armor spikes!
Adm H Sopko (5:20:34 AM): ::Shrugs:: Attaching himself to a stronger willed man like Verity takes away a lot.
SirAlexTheFirst (5:20:41 AM): Indeed.
Sarcazmo47 (5:20:52 AM): Well, look.
AndrewRogue (5:21:13 AM): *Glaysa, Glaysa, Glaysa*
Sarcazmo47 (5:21:17 AM): You wanted to try the training sessions in Asgard because you wanted Hunter to learn something about leadership.
Chromeus18 (5:21:27 AM): Alex, is a peg leg gonna affect Jerri's mobility at all?
Sarcazmo47 (5:21:35 AM): You may or may not approve of Verity's methods, but you can't very well deny that he's a skilled leader.
Adm H Sopko (5:21:36 AM): Like I said, he's more confused than ever, doesn't want to be there, but just feels trapped<G> Not like I'm complaining or anything<G> Not like Hunter can't learn from Verity
Sarcazmo47 (5:21:59 AM): So, learn everything you can, and then surpass him.
SirAlexTheFirst (5:22:04 AM): Yes.
Adm H Sopko (5:22:11 AM): It's just... hard when you feel as frustrated as your character sometimes.
SirAlexTheFirst (5:22:14 AM): Darth Sopko.
Adm H Sopko (5:22:17 AM): Heh.
SirAlexTheFirst (5:22:18 AM): It has a nice ring to it.
AndrewRogue (5:22:21 AM): You know Chrome, theoretically CSW regenerates limbs :p
Sarcazmo47 (5:22:28 AM): No, it doesn't.
Sarcazmo47 (5:22:32 AM): Regeneration does that.
AndrewRogue (5:22:46 AM): Sure? Then my friend is a liar who can't read.
Chromeus18 (5:22:46 AM): only Re...quit beating me kirk
SirAlexTheFirst (5:22:54 AM): Theoretically, this spell called Regenerate regrows limbs. Oh wait, that's in practice, not theory.
Adm H Sopko (5:23:00 AM): Feh. No Sopko will ever be a Darth.
Sarcazmo47 (5:23:04 AM): Alex, you make me happy.
Sarcazmo47 (5:23:12 AM): Of course, there is the teensy little problem of vile damage.
SirAlexTheFirst (5:23:21 AM): Well, yes.
AndrewRogue (5:23:27 AM): Yes, yes, yes Vile Damage. Bah on it :p
tortgurt (5:23:43 AM): lol
SirAlexTheFirst (5:23:45 AM): And the fact that Arryx still wants to kill everyone.
Sarcazmo47 (5:24:02 AM): He's always wanted that. It's nothing new.
Adm H Sopko (5:24:06 AM): Heh
Chromeus18 (5:24:18 AM): so is slowpoke Jerri gonna be even slower with a peg leg?
SirAlexTheFirst (5:24:44 AM): ...
AndrewRogue (5:24:52 AM): Somebody remind me to slap my friend for sucking at reading spell descriptions. *sighs*
Adm H Sopko (5:25:10 AM): We can probably sneak back in, get a cleric to regenerate it, and get back out before they know we're allied with Verity now
Sarcazmo47 (5:25:13 AM): Slap your friend for sucking at reading spell descriptions.
AndrewRogue (5:25:31 AM): Thank you Kirk ^_^
Sarcazmo47 (5:25:33 AM): Why bother? Verity isn't evil.
Adm H Sopko (5:25:41 AM): Verity is a wanted criminal
Sarcazmo47 (5:25:57 AM): Actually, most people haven't even heard the name.
AndrewRogue (5:26:07 AM): Well... no actually. No one knows he's connected with anything except us.
Adm H Sopko (5:26:13 AM): Yeah, and those soldiers after him were just passing though
SirAlexTheFirst (5:26:14 AM): Verity is almost completely unknown and presumed dead by everyone.
Chromeus18 (5:26:17 AM): or i could have a cool ass hobble on the peg leg
Adm H Sopko (5:26:18 AM): through even
Adm H Sopko (5:26:28 AM): Thats true... we did "kill" him
SirAlexTheFirst (5:26:32 AM): Especially now that Bigsbie has gone back to base and is telling everyone about his death.
Adm H Sopko (5:27:06 AM): You RP any of that?
SirAlexTheFirst (5:27:10 AM): We will.
Sarcazmo47 (5:27:22 AM): It's gonna be barrels of fun.
Adm H Sopko (5:27:28 AM): ::Nods:: Was wondering of their reactions, if you already did
Adm H Sopko (5:27:32 AM): Yep
Adm H Sopko (5:27:42 AM): Can't wait till next session
Sarcazmo47 (5:27:48 AM): I know.
AndrewRogue (5:27:57 AM): Speaking of, have game planned Saturday Alex?
Adm H Sopko (5:27:58 AM): Monday, right?
Chromeus18 (5:28:22 AM): i'm probably gonna be workin saturday night
SirAlexTheFirst (5:28:36 AM): Monday, since everyone is busy Saturday
Sarcazmo47 (5:28:57 AM): So, is it me, or does the quality of RP seem to improve tremendously when Gil isn't here?
AndrewRogue (5:29:01 AM): Yay. This means I have no worries about when I get back from San Francisco.
Chromeus18 (5:30:11 AM): i RP alot better when i'm not looking for jobs, doing work, or adding to my site
Adm H Sopko (5:30:49 AM): We've had good scenes with Jac before... not many... many of the best scenes before you got here were between Queklain, Jerry and Hunter
SirAlexTheFirst (5:31:13 AM): That was because Gorth was good at RPing.
Adm H Sopko (5:31:18 AM): Yes.
SirAlexTheFirst (5:31:34 AM): Sucked at life and at most other things, but he can RP.
AndrewRogue (5:31:35 AM): You guys did good tonight ^_^ Aside from some of the loooooooong silences, it was quite interesting. *Glaysa imitation to ease the pain*
Adm H Sopko (5:31:41 AM): The standoff with the HUNTERs was amazing
Chromeus18 (5:32:20 AM): ouch Alex
SirAlexTheFirst (5:32:54 AM): This will be known as the night of Zing.
Sarcazmo47 (5:33:01 AM): Why's that?
AndrewRogue (5:33:03 AM): *snickers*
SirAlexTheFirst (5:33:17 AM): Don't say ouch if you can't honestly deny it.
Chromeus18 (5:34:00 AM): he sucks at relationships, that's true, but i wouldn't say he sucks at life
SirAlexTheFirst (5:34:16 AM): Where's he going to college?
SirAlexTheFirst (5:34:21 AM): When's he going to college?
Chromeus18 (5:34:36 AM): why does college matter?
Adm H Sopko (5:34:36 AM): How many great zings did they get off on Hunter? He responded with a few weak ones as well. Now we have Alex zinging people
SirAlexTheFirst (5:34:40 AM): What's his career?
SirAlexTheFirst (5:34:46 AM): What will be his career?
SirAlexTheFirst (5:34:51 AM): Will his career be?
Sarcazmo47 (5:35:04 AM): Career loser?
Adm H Sopko (5:35:11 AM): How superficial
Sarcazmo47 (5:35:27 AM): That....almost meant something.
SirAlexTheFirst (5:35:43 AM): I was trying to avoid touching on the non-superficial things, but I can if you all really want.
SirAlexTheFirst (5:36:04 AM): It's not like I haven't discussed all this with him.
Sarcazmo47 (5:36:05 AM): Hey, as long as it's a Gorth stomping party, why not go all out?
Adm H Sopko (5:36:30 AM): How is where or if he goes to college, where or if he gets a job not superficial? It depends on a value system some people might not have.
Adm H Sopko (5:36:36 AM): Like me for instance.
SirAlexTheFirst (5:36:59 AM): And what exactly would you judge as sucking or not sucking at life>
SirAlexTheFirst (5:37:00 AM): ?
Sarcazmo47 (5:37:09 AM): I suppose that Alex could being every sentence with "According to my value system,...."
Sarcazmo47 (5:37:20 AM): Or it could be assumed and we could save a lot of time.
SirAlexTheFirst (5:38:03 AM): ANYWAYS
Adm H Sopko (5:38:10 AM): I could care less. I judge people on their behavior, not their lifestyle. I'm not one to go around saying people suck at life unless it's glaringly obvious. ::CoughSETHcough:: And Gorth didn't seem all that bad.
Chromeus18 (5:38:13 AM): this is a topic that could go on for days, so i'm butting out right now so i can sleep
SirAlexTheFirst (5:38:19 AM): Good night.
AndrewRogue (5:38:21 AM): Night Chrome.
Adm H Sopko (5:38:22 AM): night
Chromeus18 (5:38:35 AM): g'nite folks, good game Alex. i want a kickass peg leg.
Sarcazmo47 (5:38:36 AM): You know, Chrome has a good point.
Adm H Sopko (5:38:38 AM): 'Course, I don't know him as well.
Sarcazmo47 (5:38:40 AM): Work cometh.
SirAlexTheFirst (5:38:42 AM): You didn't know him for two years.
SirAlexTheFirst (5:38:57 AM): He's pretty screwed up.
SirAlexTheFirst (5:39:06 AM): But does it really matter?
(5:39:09 AM) Chromeus18 has left the room.
Sarcazmo47 (5:39:14 AM): Time to sack out.
Adm H Sopko (5:39:18 AM): Which I just conceded. But usually you can tell if a person sucks at life withing 5 minutes of meeting them, as I've learned with Seth<G>
SirAlexTheFirst (5:39:21 AM): Good night then.
Sarcazmo47 (5:39:23 AM): Bye bye, folks.
Adm H Sopko (5:39:27 AM): Later
AndrewRogue (5:39:28 AM): Night Kirk.
(5:39:30 AM) Sarcazmo47 has left the room.
