(9:44:26 PM) Adm H Sopko has entered the room.
(9:44:29 PM) ForceJedi2001 has entered the room.
(9:44:29 PM) MysteryGiIgamesh has entered the room.
AndrewRogue (9:44:34 PM): No more Zug Zug?
MysteryGiIgamesh (9:44:35 PM): Yay!
MysteryGiIgamesh (9:44:40 PM): Zug?
Sarcazmo47 (9:44:41 PM): Zug zug I am a random idiot!
(9:44:45 PM) coughingpuppy has entered the room.
coughingpuppy (9:45:23 PM): Hey, everybody.
MysteryGiIgamesh (9:45:31 PM): Hello. ;D
AndrewRogue (9:45:32 PM): Heya Staci.
Adm H Sopko (9:45:46 PM): Eventually, AND needs the mandatory Hot Springs episode
MysteryGiIgamesh (9:45:50 PM): *dance dance game whee yay zip zip ziphyper wheeee*
coughingpuppy (9:45:59 PM): Hot Springs episode?
MysteryGiIgamesh (9:46:06 PM): Like in Suikoden?
AndrewRogue (9:46:09 PM): Hmm... Soppy has a point. Its necessary.
Adm H Sopko (9:46:17 PM): ::Shrugs:: Every series has one
Adm H Sopko (9:46:29 PM): Hell, Vampire Princess Miyu had one
MysteryGiIgamesh (9:46:43 PM): I don't think Naruto or One Piece has one. :P
SirAlexTheFirst (9:46:45 PM): Hellsing doesn't have one.
MysteryGiIgamesh (9:46:49 PM): Right.
SirAlexTheFirst (9:47:01 PM): Heck, Excel Saga didn't have one, and that series tried to parody everything.
SirAlexTheFirst (9:47:13 PM): Noir doesn't have one
MysteryGiIgamesh (9:47:13 PM): Vampires need no hot springs. Just guns. Lots of guns. With explosive, blessed, silver bullets of doom.
AndrewRogue (9:47:20 PM): ...Alex has a point.
Adm H Sopko (9:47:27 PM): Thats because Excel Saga sucks, and it's parodies don't have any depth (With the exception of the B-Movie spoof)
SirAlexTheFirst (9:47:36 PM): None of the episodes of Cowboy Bebop I've seen have one
Sarcazmo47 (9:47:53 PM): More to the point......AND isn't an anime.
SirAlexTheFirst (9:47:59 PM): Scryed didn't have one.
MysteryGiIgamesh (9:48:04 PM): Love Hina is centered around hot springs. >_>
AndrewRogue (9:48:07 PM): Okay. Alex wins.
Adm H Sopko (9:48:13 PM): I think we get it Alex.
SirAlexTheFirst (9:48:15 PM): Pretty much every series I've watched doesn't have one.
AndrewRogue (9:48:21 PM): *gives teh winnar trophy to Alex*
SirAlexTheFirst (9:48:37 PM): The only ones that DO are Love Hina and Tenchi, which are obviously very similar.
Adm H Sopko (9:48:38 PM): When a series like Vampire Princess Miyu has a hot springs episode...
coughingpuppy (9:48:45 PM): *is completely lost*
Adm H Sopko (9:48:47 PM): Naruto has one.
Adm H Sopko (9:48:52 PM): One Piece has a few
MysteryGiIgamesh (9:48:57 PM): It does? Hm.
MysteryGiIgamesh (9:49:03 PM): Manga must not be that far, then.
SirAlexTheFirst (9:49:06 PM): We're discussing anime. You should have come watched some today.
AndrewRogue (9:49:13 PM): Manga needs to come out FASTER.
Adm H Sopko (9:49:14 PM): Yep. When Ebisu trains Naruto they train at a hot springs
SirAlexTheFirst (9:49:34 PM): More to the point
SirAlexTheFirst (9:49:40 PM): Announcements:
coughingpuppy (9:49:46 PM): I was going to, but computer demanded my attention.
SirAlexTheFirst (9:50:07 PM): 1. Random messages to the DM will result in you being shot, ignored, and mocked in chat.
Sarcazmo47 (9:50:19 PM): All at the same time?
SirAlexTheFirst (9:50:26 PM): Probably XP docking too.
AndrewRogue (9:50:43 PM): ... <_< *hides his AIM window*
MysteryGiIgamesh (9:51:07 PM): Are you feeling any better, Alex?
MysteryGiIgamesh (9:51:11 PM): Or are you still sick? =/
Adm H Sopko (9:51:17 PM): Random messages aside from stupid comments and demands would be?
SirAlexTheFirst (9:51:22 PM): This includes but is not limited to:
SirAlexTheFirst (9:51:32 PM): "Zug zug! The hive cluster is under attack!"
SirAlexTheFirst (9:51:44 PM): "How are you?"
SirAlexTheFirst (9:51:54 PM): Calling me Ally
SirAlexTheFirst (9:52:18 PM): Hyperbolic talk about hara-kiri
(9:52:19 PM) tortgurt has entered the room.
tortgurt (9:52:27 PM): (yo)
Adm H Sopko (9:52:43 PM): Feh. If I kill myself I'm going all out. There is no honor in killing yourself
SirAlexTheFirst (9:52:47 PM): "D00d are we getting XP tonight"
SirAlexTheFirst (9:52:56 PM): "Can I have X magic item?"
tortgurt (9:53:04 PM): wha?
SirAlexTheFirst (9:53:17 PM): "Can I do X?" which by the way is ALWAYS a stupid question, if you want to do something just DO it
MysteryGiIgamesh (9:53:26 PM): ....o_O
MysteryGiIgamesh (9:53:57 PM): I want to pull money out of thin air, but it doesn't seem to be working. Anyone got God's phone number? I need tech support, dammit!
SirAlexTheFirst (9:54:07 PM): What Gil just said
SirAlexTheFirst (9:54:12 PM): And... I think you all get the picture.
AndrewRogue (9:54:21 PM): Sorry <_<
SirAlexTheFirst (9:54:22 PM): Okay.
tortgurt (9:54:26 PM): i kinda feel lost, but ok
SirAlexTheFirst (9:54:38 PM): Tort: Those are all things you should not IM me with.
tortgurt (9:54:44 PM): ok
SirAlexTheFirst (9:54:45 PM): In fact you shouldn't IM me at all.
tortgurt (9:54:50 PM): sounds good
SirAlexTheFirst (9:54:54 PM): Thanks.
AndrewRogue (9:55:05 PM): Meh. 'tis workable.
tortgurt (9:55:31 PM): even if you dont want other ppl to know what your doing?
SirAlexTheFirst (9:55:43 PM): If you have a GOOD reason, like that, then sure.
SirAlexTheFirst (9:55:46 PM): 2.
SirAlexTheFirst (9:56:00 PM): Andy has left our number.
MysteryGiIgamesh (9:56:10 PM): Why? ;_;
ForceJedi2001 (9:56:12 PM): Andy?
AndrewRogue (9:56:28 PM): *shrugs* Ah well.
SirAlexTheFirst (9:57:26 PM): Fortunately, this actually makes more sense storywise.
SirAlexTheFirst (9:57:36 PM): Because Arryx wants Zane dead.
MysteryGiIgamesh (9:57:39 PM): Well, thats a boon then, sorta. X_x
AndrewRogue (9:57:43 PM): Woo hoo for convenience I suppose.
Sarcazmo47 (9:58:58 PM): *caps Zane*
AndrewRogue (9:59:31 PM): Does he get XP for tha... kidding, kidding.
tortgurt (10:00:01 PM): new from sierra mist: sierra mist boots, *kicks someone in nuts* yeah it's kinda like that
tortgurt (10:00:18 PM): next endorsement is sierra mist riot batalions
tortgurt (10:00:25 PM): bleh
SirAlexTheFirst (10:00:36 PM): Okay.
tortgurt (10:00:39 PM): lol
Adm H Sopko (10:00:44 PM): Imagine if companies sponsored D&D?
SirAlexTheFirst (10:00:50 PM): ~~~~BEGIN~~~~
tortgurt (10:00:50 PM): lol
Sarcazmo47 (10:00:56 PM): *caps Zane*
AndrewRogue (10:01:16 PM): (Oh, whee. And with what group do we begin? Choose, kupo!)
SirAlexTheFirst (10:01:21 PM): We'll start with Bandon and Aria.
Adm H Sopko (10:01:50 PM): (Aw man! That 7th level "Sonoco Oil" spell is uber!)
tortgurt (10:02:11 PM): (wha?)
Adm H Sopko (10:02:19 PM): (d00d! You got a "Bell Atlantic Sword!")
AndrewRogue (10:02:25 PM): (Oh. Okay then. Quick stock taking of the scene then: excepting the two cast members, who is there, and what're they doing?)
MysteryGiIgamesh (10:03:04 PM): ("I like to cool off with a nice, Mikes Hard Lemonade. Nothing makes a day of almost getting killed by fire belching town sized lizards quite as worth it.")
Sarcazmo47 (10:03:10 PM): So...
Sarcazmo47 (10:03:16 PM): Let me know when the scene is actually starting.
SirAlexTheFirst (10:03:36 PM): Miss Jess, a few townspeople, and a couple of the survivors from Verity's party, apparently.
AndrewRogue (10:04:14 PM): (Fun. And what might these apparent survivors from the party be doing?)
Adm H Sopko (10:04:34 PM): (Why don't you look at them?)
SirAlexTheFirst (10:05:13 PM): (Soppy speaks truth)
AndrewRogue (10:06:30 PM): (Sorry 'bout that then. Stock taking ends then, RP begins) *Aria stops partway back to Bandon, noticing a copuple people she hadn't seen before. Cautiously she picks her Guisarme back up and approaches them. Were they the ones in
AndrewRogue (10:06:34 PM): the cave?*
tortgurt (10:06:43 PM): (hey im tring to dig up ideas for what to do to constructe a rouge whip fighter but unfortunally i dont know of any special rules that you might have to use for whips... that is ofcourse assuming that you can use the use rope skill)
tortgurt (10:06:51 PM): (after whiping them...)
coughingpuppy (10:07:28 PM): ((There's an entire prestige class based on whip fighters...it's called a Lasher. It's in Song and Silence, I think. Or Sword and Fist.))
MysteryGiIgamesh (10:07:43 PM): (Sword and Fist, it's in.)
tortgurt (10:07:59 PM): (hmmmm anyone know where i can find a freeish copy to look at really quick?)
AndrewRogue (10:08:57 PM): *assuming they don't react, Aria will stop a few feet from their position, watching them very carefully* "Well. Hello."
Sarcazmo47 (10:09:41 PM): Bandon is not going to be paying a whole lot of attention to the evil people until he hears Aria talk, at which point he's jerk his head up and move in her direction. It's unclear if he means to try to protect her in some way,
Sarcazmo47 (10:09:47 PM): or if he's just a delusional idiot.
AndrewRogue (10:12:55 PM): (Lag... I doubt it but whatever.)
SirAlexTheFirst (10:13:24 PM): (Sorrrryyyy. The bothering extends to people at my door as well.)
AndrewRogue (10:13:52 PM): (No problem Alex. Not rushing you. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't lagging.)
MysteryGiIgamesh (10:14:29 PM): (Oh, hey....Just curious: When will I get introduced, heh?)
Sarcazmo47 (10:14:41 PM): Never.
MysteryGiIgamesh (10:14:48 PM): (:P)
SirAlexTheFirst (10:14:51 PM): The only two people who don't look completely dead.... look almost dead.
MysteryGiIgamesh (10:14:55 PM): (I wasn't asking you. :P)
SirAlexTheFirst (10:15:21 PM): One is a woman who looks oddly familiar to you, trying to bandage a knife wound in her back.
SirAlexTheFirst (10:15:58 PM): The other is a dwarf in armor, with his hair in a braid that no self-respecting dwarf you know of would be caught dead with.
SirAlexTheFirst (10:16:12 PM): He's helping the woman get patched up.
SirAlexTheFirst (10:16:24 PM): Both are quite burnt and bloodied from the whole mess in the cave.
Sarcazmo47 (10:16:27 PM): And no beard, if I remember correctly.
SirAlexTheFirst (10:16:35 PM): No, no beard either.
SirAlexTheFirst (10:16:47 PM): There was a third woman around, but you can't see her at the moment.
SirAlexTheFirst (10:17:22 PM): (As for Gil, I should be more clear - don't spam the things from announcement #1 in chat either.)
AndrewRogue (10:17:32 PM): (Any particular reason she looks familiar? Or a necessary check to remember such?)
SirAlexTheFirst (10:18:05 PM): A normal person could remember, but Aria tends to have trouble with such things.
SirAlexTheFirst (10:18:22 PM): You should probably make a Wisdom check.
*OnlineHost* (10:18:33 PM): AndrewRogue rolled 1 20-sided die: 9
AndrewRogue (10:18:41 PM): ...hell no. 6.
SirAlexTheFirst (10:19:39 PM): She's just familiar. From recently.
AndrewRogue (10:21:25 PM): *Aria sighs, wondering where she'd seen the girl before... Names and faces had never connected well.* "So, what are you two doing here?" *quietly. She already has a guess*
tortgurt (10:22:38 PM): (so i guess nobody has, or know of a copy of sord and fist for me to check out....)
AndrewRogue (10:23:17 PM): (Sorry man. I ain't typing the Lasher tonight. If you want it, either wait 'till later in the week, browse a bookstore, or pick up S&F)
SirAlexTheFirst (10:23:20 PM): The woman looks up at you, startled, and doesn't reply.
SirAlexTheFirst (10:23:59 PM): However, the dwarf stands up (the bandaging job is finished) and speaks to you stiffly. "We are in the service of our master."
tortgurt (10:24:20 PM): (yeah i may go do that, i guess ill be back later)
AndrewRogue (10:24:57 PM): "And who might your master be?" *her right hand tightens on her weapon, her knuckles paling*
SirAlexTheFirst (10:26:30 PM): Hmm.
Sarcazmo47 (10:27:05 PM): BLUE PAINT!
SirAlexTheFirst (10:27:08 PM): The dwarf looks you up and down, and considers. "That is none of your business."
AndrewRogue (10:29:05 PM): *she sighs. She's very, very tired* "I'm not in a mood for games at the moment. You're servants of Verity, aren't you?"
SirAlexTheFirst (10:29:52 PM): Both remain silent.
AndrewRogue (10:31:52 PM): *she takes her pack off her shoulder and opens it, extracting a long length of silk rope* "I don't suppose you'll let me bind your arms when you're finished with her will you?" *she sounds almost hopeful*
SirAlexTheFirst (10:32:37 PM): The woman starts laughing.
*OnlineHost* (10:32:44 PM): SirAlexTheFirst rolled 1 20-sided die: 20
SirAlexTheFirst (10:32:57 PM): She miraculously refrains from doing what she was going to do.
SirAlexTheFirst (10:33:05 PM): The dwarf merely says "No."
AndrewRogue (10:34:24 PM): *she brings the weapon's point down somewhat* "It would be much easier if you just let me." (And, afk a sec. I think my pup's having a seisure)
coughingpuppy (10:34:37 PM): ((Mrrrrk. I hope he's okay.))
Sarcazmo47 (10:34:48 PM): Blue paint. Especially for Aria.
Sarcazmo47 (10:35:12 PM): Not that it matters, since her armor negates it.
MysteryGiIgamesh (10:35:29 PM): (Poor puppy. ;_; )
Sarcazmo47 (10:39:13 PM): And then game was so slow, it hurt. A lot.
coughingpuppy (10:40:01 PM): ((Well, he's trying to help his dog.))
SirAlexTheFirst (10:40:08 PM): (Yes.)
SirAlexTheFirst (10:40:13 PM): (Be patient.)
AndrewRogue (10:40:42 PM): (Sorry. Yep. Tis a seizure. Can't do anything right now. Medicated her best I could before she snapped on my hand and had a full blown seizure.)
coughingpuppy (10:40:57 PM): ((Does she do that often?))
AndrewRogue (10:41:25 PM): (Not ofter, but she's eppilectic. So occasionally she breaks the medication and has one. Its been a couple months though.)
coughingpuppy (10:42:04 PM): ((Mrrrk. Poor dog.))
Sarcazmo47 (10:43:03 PM): Anyway.
AndrewRogue (10:43:06 PM): (I know ;_; It doesn't really bother me that much anymore, but it really was distressing the first few times. She should be back up in just a couple minutes, pace for [I pray] only a little while and be her normal cheerful self.)
Sarcazmo47 (10:43:08 PM): Aria was threatening and stuff.
AndrewRogue (10:43:21 PM): (Anyway, feel free to continue)
SirAlexTheFirst (10:43:45 PM): The dwarf bows deeply to you.
SirAlexTheFirst (10:44:03 PM): You notice an ornate pair of scabbards on his back.
SirAlexTheFirst (10:44:58 PM): The woman starts to look very disturbed, and squeaks "Karn..."
Sarcazmo47 (10:45:15 PM): Blue paint for the dwarf.
*OnlineHost* (10:46:37 PM): SirAlexTheFirst rolled 1 20-sided die: 17
Sarcazmo47 (10:46:44 PM): Bandon, you suck.
AndrewRogue (10:47:33 PM): "I don't want to have to fight you... Karn. Your master is dead, the portal closed, your plans thwarted. I simply wish to insure you won't be a danger to anyone here."
SirAlexTheFirst (10:49:54 PM): Karn slowly returns to standing upright.
SirAlexTheFirst (10:50:16 PM): He blinks once, and asks "Master Verity has perished?"
AndrewRogue (10:51:00 PM): "27 soldiers sacraficed their lives to end his." *said plainly, simply, and without a hint of emotion*
SirAlexTheFirst (10:52:03 PM): "That would explain it." Karn nods, and does nothing else.
AndrewRogue (10:52:19 PM): "Explains what?"
SirAlexTheFirst (10:52:51 PM): The woman shrugs helplessly. "I have no idea. He's always like this."
Sarcazmo47 (10:54:46 PM): "Arianna.....we need to get these people to town. There's no reason to fight. Please."
SirAlexTheFirst (10:55:05 PM): (Gasp!)
AndrewRogue (10:56:33 PM): "I don't want to fight either Bandon. But I won't leave these two at our backs and risk your lives." *back to the two* "Will you allow... will you allow yourselves to be bound? You have my word
AndrewRogue (10:56:34 PM): I won't mistreat you." *tightly*
*OnlineHost* (10:58:19 PM): SirAlexTheFirst rolled 1 20-sided die: 15
SirAlexTheFirst (10:59:28 PM): Karn asks, "Who are you, that you would bind us?"
Sarcazmo47 (10:59:50 PM): Bandon will sound like he's on the verge of pleading, which isn't helped by the fact that he's hysterical right now anyway. "Arianna....Aria, please. They're no more a danger than anyone else. Let them go their way and
Sarcazmo47 (10:59:54 PM): we will go ours."
Sarcazmo47 (11:00:14 PM): "Just....just let them go away..."
AndrewRogue (11:01:41 PM): *to Bandon* "Bandon I won't... I can't. I won't risk anymore lives. Please understand..." *to Karn* "I am Arianna Lanathan."
SirAlexTheFirst (11:02:23 PM): "And who is that?"
SirAlexTheFirst (11:02:55 PM): It's unclear whether the dwarf is asking who Bandon is, or being philsophical about your name, or both.
AndrewRogue (11:04:09 PM): "...he is none of your buisness."
Sarcazmo47 (11:04:27 PM): Bandon will look at the ground if the dwarf looks at him.
*OnlineHost* (11:05:18 PM): SirAlexTheFirst rolled 1 20-sided die: 10
SirAlexTheFirst (11:05:27 PM): Fading resistance...
AndrewRogue (11:08:00 PM): "So are you going to allow me to bind you? I don't know... I don't know what identites or names matter now."
*OnlineHost* (11:08:38 PM): SirAlexTheFirst rolled 1 20-sided die: 9
SirAlexTheFirst (11:08:45 PM): There it goes.
SirAlexTheFirst (11:09:31 PM): The woman, who has been trying to keep her mouth shut, no longer can. "Of course, honey. I didn't know you were into that, but I'm up for anything."
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:09:45 PM): (....XD)
AndrewRogue (11:09:53 PM): *turning sharply towards her* "What?"
Sarcazmo47 (11:10:32 PM): Bandon will turn away and start herding the unimportant people back towards town.
coughingpuppy (11:10:37 PM): ((See, you try to deal with the EC characters and you deal with a party full of sarcastic bitches.))
AndrewRogue (11:11:03 PM): (Must... not... violate... alignment...)
tortgurt (11:11:17 PM): (lol)
(11:14:04 PM) Chromeus18 has entered the room.
MysteryGiIgamesh (11:14:09 PM): (Hi Chrome. :D)
AndrewRogue (11:14:10 PM): *turning back slightly to see Bandon leaving, she grits her teeth* "Fine. What about you Karn?"
Chromeus18 (11:14:45 PM): hihi
Chromeus18 (11:15:04 PM): we playing?
AndrewRogue (11:15:10 PM): (Yes. Right now.)
Chromeus18 (11:15:29 PM): *puts on Jerri dominatrix outfit*
SirAlexTheFirst (11:15:37 PM): Karn says "No."
AndrewRogue (11:16:46 PM): "Fine. To hells with it." *she turns sharply and starts back towards Bandon* "Please, wait up. You shouldn't even be walking..."
Chromeus18 (11:17:51 PM): (someone care to recap me on what i missed via IM?)
Sarcazmo47 (11:18:24 PM): Bandon looks at her wild-eyed. "NO? These people shouldn't e here! They need to be taken to safety, and you're too eager to spill blood to notice it!"
AndrewRogue (11:21:58 PM): *she looks... hurt* "Bandon, I know. I know they need to be brought to safety. I... I don't want to spill blood, I just want to make sure..." (Hey Kirk. Aria's 5'9"-ish. How big is Bandon in comparison?)
Sarcazmo47 (11:22:57 PM): Bandon is about 5'11", somewhat slender and much lighter now that he's lacking any deadweight arms to slow him down.
Sarcazmo47 (11:23:27 PM): Bandon will just look away. "Then make sure. I'm taking these people to Gelendar."
Sarcazmo47 (11:23:43 PM): ((Insert whatever the name of the nearest town is.))
AndrewRogue (11:24:30 PM): (Okey dokes) "...Bandon..." ~Hunter, you there?~
SirAlexTheFirst (11:24:34 PM): That works.
Adm H Sopko (11:26:06 PM): (How much time has passed? Would we have found Verity already?)
SirAlexTheFirst (11:27:49 PM): No.
Chromeus18 (11:28:55 PM): brb
Sarcazmo47 (11:30:11 PM): Bandon ignores his name and continues sheepherding.
AndrewRogue (11:30:55 PM): (While I wait, how well is Bandon's herding going?)
SirAlexTheFirst (11:31:24 PM): Rather well.
Adm H Sopko (11:31:26 PM): ::Takes a break from his banter with Aurelia on their way to the clearing:: ~Yes, Aria?~
SirAlexTheFirst (11:31:52 PM): All of the five or so villagers are following Bandon without complaint. Or talking. Or much anything.
Sarcazmo47 (11:32:08 PM): And Bandon is leading them in basically the same way.
Sarcazmo47 (11:32:16 PM): What of Miss Jess?
AndrewRogue (11:33:00 PM): ~We're going to try for Gelendar or a nearby town at least... how are things going on your end? Catch up with Jac and Jerri?~ *she sounds sort of detatched*
Adm H Sopko (11:34:33 PM): ~Not yet. I'll contact you when we do. And... hopefully nothing will happen. Having to deal with this sword just appears to get worse and worse by the sound of it~
AndrewRogue (11:36:06 PM): ~I... don't think you have to worry about the sword too much... Just tell me when you find them, all right?~ *Aria is lagging slightly behind the group. She just doesn't feel right to be any closer. Bandon's upset... she scared the
SirAlexTheFirst (11:36:17 PM): Miss Jess is also following Bandon.
Sarcazmo47 (11:36:42 PM): Are the evil people following along at the back, then?
AndrewRogue (11:36:53 PM): peasents senseless... she's the reason her mom got involved. She will, however, size Bandon up. He's fainted a couple times already. How's he doing now?*
Sarcazmo47 (11:37:34 PM): Bandon? Bandon looks awfully driven. Combined with the gaunt look, the fear of a cornered animal, and the lack of arms, he looks absolutely nothing like you remember.
Sarcazmo47 (11:38:21 PM): For those of you noting it privately, yes, Bandon is a huge pansy.
Adm H Sopko (11:38:35 PM): (Duh)
AndrewRogue (11:39:37 PM): (Yup) *then assuming nothing else is going to occur, this is going to be a long, tense and really quiet walk back to Gelendar. Or, wherever*
SirAlexTheFirst (11:39:59 PM): You're going back with them?
Sarcazmo47 (11:40:17 PM): Are we going to get some hot Bigsbie action, then?
AndrewRogue (11:40:28 PM): Yeah. She isn't going to leave that group alone.
SirAlexTheFirst (11:40:54 PM): Karn and the woman follow y'all as well. They stay quiet.
SirAlexTheFirst (11:40:58 PM): And.... sure.
SirAlexTheFirst (11:41:03 PM): Is Bigsbie around?
tortgurt (11:41:12 PM): (yeah)
tortgurt (11:41:21 PM): (im here)
(11:41:40 PM) Cyril Shinsei has entered the room.
tortgurt (11:41:54 PM): (wewt hot bigsbie action it is)
AndrewRogue (11:42:09 PM): (*kicks back*)
SirAlexTheFirst (11:42:31 PM): So, Captain Bigsbie.
SirAlexTheFirst (11:42:36 PM): You arrive back in Gelendar.
SirAlexTheFirst (11:42:42 PM): And what do you do there?
Chromeus18 (11:44:18 PM): back, with a +1 printer for free
AndrewRogue (11:45:26 PM): (Apparently he vanishes into a vortex, never to be seen again <_<)
tortgurt (11:45:45 PM): *bigsbie tries to think of a peson that might be able to help him in their current situation*(sorry about the delay)
SirAlexTheFirst (11:45:58 PM): Welllll.
SirAlexTheFirst (11:46:02 PM): There's Tarin.
AndrewRogue (11:46:05 PM): (No prob. Just joking with you. ^_^)
SirAlexTheFirst (11:46:28 PM): Or whoever's on duty at the barracks.
tortgurt (11:48:09 PM): *bigsbie decides to head over to talk to tarin, his councile and power will probly be of great help during this problem*
SirAlexTheFirst (11:48:34 PM): Great.
SirAlexTheFirst (11:48:39 PM): So where are you going to find him?
tortgurt (11:49:58 PM): (does he have a normal office, or a place that bigsbie knows of where to find him?)
SirAlexTheFirst (11:51:00 PM): His house.
tortgurt (11:51:49 PM): *bigsbie heads over to tarins house, hopeing that he is there*
SirAlexTheFirst (11:55:34 PM): He's not.
SirAlexTheFirst (11:55:41 PM): Nobody is there.
AndrewRogue (11:56:31 PM): (In the event it matters, back in a minute)
tortgurt (11:57:47 PM): *after checking out tarins house and lands to no avail bigsbie thinks go himself a moment* ~i hope that there is somone at the barracks that might be able to help in this situation~
tortgurt (11:58:54 PM): *bigsbie then heads over to the barracks, moving at a quick pace, not running, but not walking*
SirAlexTheFirst (12:00:54 AM): By the time you get over to the barracks, it's getting quite dark out. The gate guards look at you, bored. "What's up, Captain?"
tortgurt (12:03:12 AM): (who is in charge of the barracks/bigsbies supirior officer?)
SirAlexTheFirst (12:04:14 AM): The commander of the barracks is Major Lad.
tortgurt (12:05:17 AM): *looks at the guards* "Sorry to drop all the plesentries, but is Major Lad. in his office right now?"
SirAlexTheFirst (12:06:49 AM): "Yeah, he should be. Heard there was some fuss with a field commander. Everything all right on your op, Jimmy?"
tortgurt (12:09:27 AM): *bigsbie looks away from the guards remorsefully* "things didn't... all of the men.... they all died..."
SirAlexTheFirst (12:10:25 AM): "What? All of them? But you look fine!"
tortgurt (12:13:42 AM): "yes.... but because of my weakness the squad comanders that worked under me felt that there was no option but to use (fill in name of plan that all the men died using) however i was spaired from the grusume death
tortgurt (12:13:50 AM): that occured there.."
tortgurt (12:15:28 AM): *bigsbie rembers his current predicidiment and decides to go see Major Lad.* "im sorry, i will tell you of the details later, but for now i must go speak to Major Lad."
SirAlexTheFirst (12:16:03 AM): The guards find themselves speechless.
SirAlexTheFirst (12:16:09 AM): So you go in.
tortgurt (12:16:18 AM): *Bigsbie walks past the guards, into the barracks and to Major Lads. office*
SirAlexTheFirst (12:16:42 AM): The door is open, and you can see the Major reading a large file.
tortgurt (12:17:05 AM): *knocks on the door to attract the Major's attention*
tortgurt (12:18:50 AM): "excuse me sir, i need to talk to you"
tortgurt (12:19:37 AM): (*waits for response*)
SirAlexTheFirst (12:19:41 AM): He looks up, finally.
SirAlexTheFirst (12:19:51 AM): "Yes? Ah, James."
SirAlexTheFirst (12:19:56 AM): *salutes*
tortgurt (12:20:16 AM): *salutes the major back*
SirAlexTheFirst (12:21:02 AM): "How did Tarin's op go? And where is Tarin, anyways?"
tortgurt (12:22:59 AM): "I have no idea where tarin is currently, he left me and the unit under the control of his daughter Arianna, but the operation went..."
tortgurt (12:23:16 AM): *sighs heavily*
SirAlexTheFirst (12:23:30 AM): "What happened?"
tortgurt (12:25:06 AM): "sir because of my own weakness i was unable to comand my men in a time of need, and well.... the situation progressed to a point that the squad leaders felt that the only way to resolve it was to use (opperation name)
tortgurt (12:25:28 AM): to destroy a man named verity and his minautor henchmen"
SirAlexTheFirst (12:26:23 AM): Major Lad looks shocked.
SirAlexTheFirst (12:26:38 AM): "It... worked, though?"
MysteryGiIgamesh (12:26:48 AM): (Be right back.)
Chromeus18 (12:28:08 AM): ("Yes, if your definition of 'worked' means they were all slaughtered like cattle")
AndrewRogue (12:29:45 AM): (Somwhat ironic statement there ^_~)
Chromeus18 (12:29:54 AM): brb
tortgurt (12:30:07 AM): "yes, everyone within the area that was effected was utterly destroyed, including themselves, everything except an evil sword called aryxx that was use by verity, from what i understand it contains a very powerful deamon
tortgurt (12:30:39 AM): and the survivors and i were looking for a way to seal the sword...."
tortgurt (12:30:51 AM): "or destroy it.."
SirAlexTheFirst (12:32:38 AM): "I see. Did you find anythign?"
tortgurt (12:34:12 AM): "no, we were at a loss of what to do, and so i returend hopeing to find some sort of help or council for the situation"
SirAlexTheFirst (12:36:05 AM): "....so..."
SirAlexTheFirst (12:36:17 AM): "You have no idea where Tarin is?"
tortgurt (12:36:33 AM): "curently... no"
tortgurt (12:37:37 AM): "the only place that i could think of to look for him was at his house. do you have any idea where he might be?"
SirAlexTheFirst (12:38:15 AM): "Not a clue. He hasn't checked in here anytime lately, except to request your squad."
tortgurt (12:40:41 AM): *closes his eyes in thought* "so do you know of anyone else that might be able to help us in this situation?"
SirAlexTheFirst (12:41:11 AM): "...actually, now that you mention it..."
SirAlexTheFirst (12:41:14 AM): ".... no."
AndrewRogue (12:41:20 AM): (XD)
SirAlexTheFirst (12:41:50 AM): "Tarin is the only person who knows anything about this whole Verity nonsense. Nobody else believed him when he brought the theory up at council."
Chromeus18 (12:43:48 AM): back
AndrewRogue (12:44:02 AM): (Heya 'gain)
tortgurt (12:45:47 AM): *sighs* "well then... i need to find Tarin, would it be posible to have some of the men assist me in my search for him, and some more to go notify the faimlies of the men who died?"
MysteryGiIgamesh (12:46:58 AM): (Back.)
SirAlexTheFirst (12:47:06 AM): "Of course, the familes will be notified immediately. That does leave us understaffed, though. Are there any hostiles remaining?"
AndrewRogue (12:47:20 AM): (Heya'gain Gil)
MysteryGiIgamesh (12:47:27 AM): (Hello. ^_^)
MysteryGiIgamesh (12:48:19 AM): (*cough*wizard*cough*scryingspells* cough*)
tortgurt (12:49:57 AM): "the hositle that was left when i begain makeing my way to this town was what i assumed to be the sword that was effecting one of the men that was involved with the insident"
SirAlexTheFirst (12:51:36 AM): "So, the sword can dominate people?"
tortgurt (12:52:06 AM): (did bigsbie regonize the spell as wrack?
tortgurt (12:52:08 AM): )
SirAlexTheFirst (12:53:37 AM): No
tortgurt (12:54:28 AM): "I dont belive so, but it looked as if he were in great pain, and boils were breaking out on his skin (anyother visible effects that im forgeting?)"
MysteryGiIgamesh (12:54:39 AM): (Blood filled the eyes?)
tortgurt (12:55:41 AM): "it also appeared as if blood had filled his eyes"
SirAlexTheFirst (12:56:13 AM): "Interesting. A spell, would you say?"
tortgurt (12:58:07 AM): "i would say that it was, because it only effected the people that tried to attack the sword its self"
SirAlexTheFirst (12:59:35 AM): "Did this Verity happen to mention anything about where he was from or what he wanted?"
tortgurt (1:02:06 AM): "no, verity spoke indirectly of his goals, and was destroied by our men, however there have been some strange events occuring shortly after his death"
SirAlexTheFirst (1:02:54 AM): "Like what?"
tortgurt (1:04:30 AM): "right before the men executed the plan, a young looking girl named Marin and 4 creatures that looked like a sort of black stone, talked of some great evil, and then asking if we wanted to help contian the evil
tortgurt (1:06:05 AM): transported us to a cave somewhere where the appeared to be some sort of extra planier portal(assuming he knows what thoes are, other wise portal) and a fissure in the ground that was erupting many things that i cannot begin
SirAlexTheFirst (1:06:26 AM): Major Lad seems very interested indeed all of a sudden. Up till now, he'd kept his composure fairly well.
SirAlexTheFirst (1:06:54 AM): "A fissure, you say?"
tortgurt (1:06:58 AM): to rember. i am unsure of what events occured there but we were united with the rest of the party that was involved with the opperation"
tortgurt (1:07:02 AM): "yes"
tortgurt (1:08:04 AM): (wow sorry for takeing the spot light for so long guys and gals)
SirAlexTheFirst (1:08:05 AM): "Would you be able to find your way back there?"
AndrewRogue (1:08:36 AM): (No prob Tort, I've done it plenty of times)
tortgurt (1:08:48 AM): (do i need to roll some sort of check for this alex?)
Adm H Sopko (1:09:02 AM): (I've done it far too often)
SirAlexTheFirst (1:09:15 AM): You would when the time comes.
tortgurt (1:09:20 AM): ok
tortgurt (1:09:59 AM): ".. i belive that i might be able to find my way back to there..."
SirAlexTheFirst (1:11:16 AM): "Excellent. You can take B squad out there. I want that place investigated and cleaned out. Thoroughly."
tortgurt (1:12:28 AM): (is it safe to assume that the army has scryers in it's servece?"
tortgurt (1:12:30 AM): )
SirAlexTheFirst (1:12:40 AM): Yes.
tortgurt (1:13:55 AM): "I will take B squad out there and investigate and clean out the site, but would it be posible for some of our scryiers to look for tarin so i can ask him further of this situation?"
SirAlexTheFirst (1:16:57 AM): "Of course they will be."
tortgurt (1:17:50 AM): "Thank you sir, and once agin i am truely sorry of my failure to protect my men"
SirAlexTheFirst (1:18:12 AM): "Don't worry about it. You should go get some sleep now, and head out in the morning."
tortgurt (1:18:55 AM): "Yes Sir, i will take my leave now"
tortgurt (1:19:36 AM): "unless you have somthing else that you wish to talk about sir"
SirAlexTheFirst (1:19:59 AM): "No... not really. Go to sleep, captain. Good work."
tortgurt (1:20:34 AM): "Goodnight sir" *saluts*
SirAlexTheFirst (1:21:33 AM): The Major returns your salute, and insistently motions you out.
Sarcazmo47 (1:21:43 AM): And camera cuts to...?
tortgurt (1:21:46 AM): *turns and leaves the room*
SirAlexTheFirst (1:22:03 AM): Are you going to go to sleep and such as he said to?
tortgurt (1:22:24 AM): (ummm....)
tortgurt (1:22:29 AM): (hmmmm....)
Chromeus18 (1:22:49 AM): (beware of the bear trap hidden under your pillow)
tortgurt (1:23:08 AM): (i dont know i assume that the word has spread from the guards at the front door, how have the men in the barracks reacted?)
SirAlexTheFirst (1:23:21 AM): They're shocked. Nobody wants to talk to you.
Sarcazmo47 (1:24:36 AM): ZUG ZUG I AM A RANDOM IDIOT ZUG ZUG TEH HIVE CLUSTER IS UNDER ATTACK!!!
AndrewRogue (1:24:48 AM): (...)
SirAlexTheFirst (1:24:56 AM): Banned.
Sarcazmo47 (1:25:13 AM): I'm sorry. It just burst out of me.
tortgurt (1:26:09 AM): *bigsbie noticing the curent situation decides to go off the the sleeping quarters and get some rest (and to allow for the passing of the tortch, because ive been sucking up too much time)*
tortgurt (1:26:50 AM): (*or his sleeping quarters assuming that he has some, just wherever he sleeps)
SirAlexTheFirst (1:27:16 AM): RIghto.
SirAlexTheFirst (1:27:44 AM): And now we'll go back to the battle.... of VICTORY!!
SirAlexTheFirst (1:27:57 AM): Or rather, the battlefield and everyone there.
(1:28:42 AM) Cyril Shinsei has left the room.
coughingpuppy (1:29:31 AM): ((I think Jerri and Hunter had just gone off to bury Jac, or something like that. Or were talking about it.))
Sarcazmo47 (1:29:45 AM): And then the dead elf was nowhere to be found.
AndrewRogue (1:29:47 AM): (No go. His corpse was gone.)
Adm H Sopko (1:29:51 AM): (Yeah)
tortgurt (1:29:59 AM): (heh is it normal to think that there was a heckling room pointing out my mistakes that entire time)
Sarcazmo47 (1:30:20 AM): If there was, I wasn't invited.
coughingpuppy (1:30:27 AM): ((You were fine.))
AndrewRogue (1:30:43 AM): (Neither was I. You did fine. It was nice to see a bit og Bigsbie character.)
SirAlexTheFirst (1:30:46 AM): It was good.
Sarcazmo47 (1:30:51 AM): So, the two goodly types go to have a moment of silence for their twice-deasd buddy?
tortgurt (1:31:16 AM): (ok good then, at least i wasnt horible at what i did)
coughingpuppy (1:31:20 AM): Aurelia, after glancing about for the body they mentioned and seeing that there isn't one anymore, remains standing and waiting for Hunter and Jerri to finish up whatever they have to here.
Adm H Sopko (1:32:47 AM): ::Hunter kneels on the ground next to where Jacynth's body used to be, bowing his head in his own little moment, reflecting back in his own mind:: ~This is twice now I've failed you. I don't really know what to say, besides I hope
Adm H Sopko (1:34:06 AM): you manage to come back again... I don't know what the difference is between last time and now, but I guess I am changing. I'm beginning to realize bit by bit why I continue on with this, even if I don't know what possessed me in
Adm H Sopko (1:35:04 AM): the first place. Maybe it was Gabriel taking advantage of my confusion after my mother's death, I don't know... but starting now I will begin to make sense of the world, I promise. You followed me without question,
MysteryGiIgamesh (1:36:03 AM): (Poor Jac. ;_; )
Adm H Sopko (1:36:50 AM): and I guess it scared me that someone could trust me that much, despite your outside apathy. You too will be remembered, friend Jacynth.~ ::He cracks a small smile:: ~One who was of the blood...~ ::After a deep sigh, Hunter stands,
Sarcazmo47 (1:37:10 AM): Verity stands and watches this touching scene for its entirety, then looks to Aurelia. "I think it would be best if we moved on from here."
coughingpuppy (1:37:54 AM): She glances up at him and nods. "I agree...though I've no idea where to move to. I think they left a few companions behind in the town."
Adm H Sopko (1:38:03 AM): a calm, but emotive expression on his face, walking back to Verity::
Sarcazmo47 (1:38:18 AM): "Indeed. Were there any survivors of our own?"
coughingpuppy (1:38:52 AM): "Just Zane, to my knowledge. I think some of the others may have fled...he attacked them before he attacked me, so I'm not certain."
MysteryGiIgamesh (1:39:18 AM): (Jerri has no words for Jac? Aww. Not even a "You were an asshole, elfy boy."?)
Sarcazmo47 (1:39:37 AM): Verity will close his eyes for a moment. "I suppose I shouldn't be surprised. You warned me he was a traitor."
coughingpuppy (1:40:30 AM): Aurelia nods. "I expected him to attack only you and myself, though, not the entire group." She pauses for a moment, eyes flicking over his face. "Are you surprised?"
Sarcazmo47 (1:40:58 AM): Verity shrugs. "I had hoped..." he trails off there.
coughingpuppy (1:41:33 AM): She lets a hand rest on his arm for a second or two before dropping it again, glancing at Hunter as he returns.
Sarcazmo47 (1:42:08 AM): "In any case. If there were survivors, either among the Bedine or among our liutenants, I suspect they are seeking the nearest populated place. Cut off as we are, we need resources."
Adm H Sopko (1:42:59 AM): "I suppose you'll be explaining what exactly that means along the way?"
Sarcazmo47 (1:44:00 AM): Verity will turns his eyes on Hunter. "It should be obvious. Food, materiel, a fortified base of operations. Men. Intelligence. Contacts."
Sarcazmo47 (1:44:14 AM): "Fortunately, we have the means to acquire those things."
Sarcazmo47 (1:44:25 AM): At that, he reaches into his bad, pulls out something small, and tosses it at Hunter.
coughingpuppy (1:44:44 AM): ((Has Arryx killed Zane already?))
Adm H Sopko (1:44:48 AM): ::On reflex, he catches it and inspects it::
Sarcazmo47 (1:44:51 AM): ((Yes.))
SirAlexTheFirst (1:45:49 AM): It's a gray metal disc with markings on it.
SirAlexTheFirst (1:45:54 AM): Looks like a coin.
SirAlexTheFirst (1:46:10 AM): You can't read any of the writing, though, if that's what it is.
Adm H Sopko (1:46:25 AM): ::Blinks:: "What is this? Some sort of currency where you're from?"
coughingpuppy (1:46:39 AM): Aurelia frowns for a second. It's suddenly occurred to her that what they have might not even be worth anything here.
Sarcazmo47 (1:46:51 AM): Verity nods. "Although that is not its value. Ask your dwarven friend what it is."
Adm H Sopko (1:48:06 AM): ::He hands it to Jerry, then looks back to Verity:: "Anyway, I was referring to the first part of your previous statement. The Bedine? Who is seeking the nearest populated place?"
Sarcazmo47 (1:49:19 AM): "The Bedine are my people. Or were, until they died. More of them remain where I came from."
Sarcazmo47 (1:49:51 AM): "As for the others....well. The sooner we get moving, the sooner I will know if any of them remain."
Sarcazmo47 (1:52:02 AM): Lag?
tortgurt (1:52:06 AM): no
AndrewRogue (1:52:10 AM): (Not really)
tortgurt (1:52:12 AM): i dont belive so
Sarcazmo47 (1:54:17 AM): "In any case, there is no reason to remain here. This can be dealt with on the move." Verity will look at Aurelia. "Would you ride? Or do you prefer to walk?"
Adm H Sopko (1:54:29 AM): ::Nods:: "Well, Bigsbie, the man who was with me in our fight, went back to town to report in. He would recognize you... otherwise, we probably could have gone into town without much fear."
Sarcazmo47 (1:55:40 AM): "Then first, we should rendezvous with your other allies."
coughingpuppy (1:56:21 AM): "I can't ride...it's probably best to keep pace with the others." She glances at Hunter. "Would they have remained in the town?"
Adm H Sopko (1:57:56 AM): "Give me a second..." ~Arianna? Are you there?~
Sarcazmo47 (1:58:26 AM): Verity will watch Sopko do nothing for a moment with a midly confused look on his face, then look at Aurelia questioningly.
AndrewRogue (1:58:39 AM): (...Aria able to come to the phone?)
SirAlexTheFirst (1:58:59 AM): Sure
AndrewRogue (1:59:25 AM): ~Here.~
coughingpuppy (2:00:00 AM): Aurelia watches this for a second or two, then murmurs, "They're able to communicate telepathically, from what I heard. Circlets or rings or something like that."
Sarcazmo47 (2:00:39 AM): Verity will look positively intrigued, then look back at Sopko.
Adm H Sopko (2:00:44 AM): ~I'm here at the battlefield. Where are you?~
AndrewRogue (2:01:09 AM): (...deferring to Alex... Approcimate location at this point in time?)
SirAlexTheFirst (2:01:21 AM): Marching along wearily.
AndrewRogue (2:02:01 AM): ~Walking. So... I assume you found Jac and Jerri?~
Adm H Sopko (2:03:32 AM): ~In a sense, yes. Arianna... please prepare yourself, but... Jacynth is dead. And Jerri is hurt bad. He's missing a leg~
AndrewRogue (2:04:09 AM): ~...~
Adm H Sopko (2:06:48 AM): ~I'm here with Aurelia... Bigsbie went back to town to report in after we found them. Arianna... c'mon, talk to me.~
AndrewRogue (2:06:50 AM): ~Oh... ... ... What... nevermind.~ *detached* ~Heading back to Gelendar?~
Adm H Sopko (2:07:37 AM): ~I'm not sure at the moment, but it seems likely.~ ::He looks over to Verity:: "Yes, they're heading back into Gelendar as well."
Sarcazmo47 (2:07:54 AM): Verity blinks at him. "Stop them."
Sarcazmo47 (2:09:10 AM): "It would be best to meet with yours outside of the city."
Adm H Sopko (2:10:11 AM): "I don't think I would be able to, as they were helping the wounded back. I will ask them if they could meet us outside afterwards though."
Sarcazmo47 (2:10:38 AM): Verity shrugs. "Very well."
Adm H Sopko (2:11:32 AM): ~Do you think you, and anyone else who is able in our group could meet us outside Gelendar after you have helped the wounded back into town?~
AndrewRogue (2:13:24 AM): ~... ...mmm, probably. I... I'd need time though. I... I have to find something to do with everyone. Bandon needs healing... the people from Berges need shelter... Mom needs to just go sit somewhere... A couple of Verity's men...
AndrewRogue (2:13:27 AM): Why?~
Adm H Sopko (2:15:14 AM): ~You might as well bring Verity's men, if they would like to come. I also don't know how to tell you this... but Verity is back. As is Phil.~
AndrewRogue (2:15:43 AM): ~...~
AndrewRogue (2:15:53 AM): ~What?~
Adm H Sopko (2:16:27 AM): ~Yeah, my reaction exactly. It could be the same force at work that brought you back... but the fact is they're alive~
AndrewRogue (2:16:58 AM): ~That's not funny Hunter... they're dead. Dead.~
Adm H Sopko (2:17:50 AM): ~They're alive, Aria. As alive as you are now. I half-wish I were kidding. But circumstances have changed. I'll explain to you when we meet~
ForceJedi2001 (2:17:56 AM): (bwah? was ttaking a shower<G>)
AndrewRogue (2:19:09 AM): *the airwaves are very blank.*
coughingpuppy (2:19:14 AM): Aurelia waits patiently, but is starting to shift from foot to foot. They've been on this battlefield for too long.
Sarcazmo47 (2:19:40 AM): Verity picks up on it, then closes his eyes for a moment and murmurs something.
Adm H Sopko (2:20:17 AM): ~I'm sorry, Arianna... thats just the way things work out. But hey, worse things have happened. Keep in touch, alright?~
Adm H Sopko (2:20:29 AM): "Okay. We can head out now"
coughingpuppy (2:20:57 AM): ((Would I have heard him, Kirk?))
Sarcazmo47 (2:21:12 AM): Sure.
coughingpuppy (2:21:24 AM): ((What'd he say?))
Sarcazmo47 (2:21:37 AM): "Xavixus."
coughingpuppy (2:23:20 AM): Aurelia just looks at him for a moment, puzzled, then waits for a few seconds more with a faint smirk. He just has to impress them, of course.
Sarcazmo47 (2:24:12 AM): A moment and a flash of red flame later, the black steed with the mane of fire appears beside him. It snorts, and a jet of sulferous breath wafts past Hunter and Jerriford.
Sarcazmo47 (2:24:41 AM): Verity steps up next to it and whispers into its ear for a moment.
Adm H Sopko (2:25:31 AM): ::Steps back a bit in surprise, but recognizes it from before and is a bit more at ease::
Sarcazmo47 (2:26:43 AM): It kneels slightly, and Verity hops up onto its back with practiced ease. "Boy hero, with me. You'll direct us to your meeting grounds. The rest of you, start walking. We'll be back to guide you."
coughingpuppy (2:27:54 AM): Aurelia nods and gestures to Jerriford and Phil to follow her before starting off in the direction she remembers as leading back to Begres.
Sarcazmo47 (2:28:28 AM): ((Begres is the ghost town. We're going back toward the town that had people in it.))
coughingpuppy (2:28:37 AM): ((Right. Gelendar, then.))
Adm H Sopko (2:29:01 AM): ::Smirks and climbs up onto the horse's back carefully::
tortgurt (2:29:01 AM): (aparently, everyone is begining to join back together)
SirAlexTheFirst (2:29:18 AM): (Yep)
Sarcazmo47 (2:29:29 AM): Verity will turn his head partway and say curtly to Sopko, "Hold on."
Adm H Sopko (2:29:45 AM): "Of course." ::Does so::
Sarcazmo47 (2:30:09 AM): Then the horse will snort another gout of breath, rear back, kick at the air - and leap straight into the air.
Adm H Sopko (2:30:49 AM): "Whoa!" ::He yelps out in surprise, not exactly expecting that, but he eventually gets used to it::
Sarcazmo47 (2:30:54 AM): It arrows off quickly, a streak of flame.
tortgurt (2:32:59 AM): (ok so clarifacation for me really quick, lets say that there is a wepon master with a keen scimatar, improved crit on it, and improved ki crit, that would be a crit range from 10-20 right?)
MysteryGiIgamesh (2:33:15 AM): (Is the game 3.0 or 3.5?)
tortgurt (2:33:21 AM): (3.5)
Sarcazmo47 (2:33:26 AM): So.
AndrewRogue (2:33:29 AM): (Keen and Improved Crit don't stack then)
coughingpuppy (2:33:38 AM): Aurelia suddenly notices that the one-legged dwarf is going to slow them up considerably. The best way to correct that isn't currently a very viable option, so she asks Phil to carry him and then moves on.
MysteryGiIgamesh (2:33:40 AM): (Then the crit range is...`12+.)
tortgurt (2:33:53 AM): (ok)
Sarcazmo47 (2:34:03 AM): Do all of Battlefield Group arrive intact?
Sarcazmo47 (2:34:13 AM): With the exception of Jerri, of course.
MysteryGiIgamesh (2:34:19 AM): (18-20 doubled is 6 numbers. 20-6=14. Then, the extra bonus from imp. crit ability gives it 12+.)
tortgurt (2:35:08 AM): (ok, but then in a 3.0 game it would be 9-20)
MysteryGiIgamesh (2:35:15 AM): (Right.)
tortgurt (2:35:37 AM): (ok, and vorpal only activates on a 20 crit right, or just any crit in 3.5?)
MysteryGiIgamesh (2:35:43 AM): (On a 20.)
tortgurt (2:35:50 AM): (ok cool)
MysteryGiIgamesh (2:36:00 AM): (it's always been only on a 20. Even in 3.0, it was erratta'd to only a 20. ^_^)
tortgurt (2:36:27 AM): (awww that is sad, no crit warriors with nei allmighty crit ability of doom)
SirAlexTheFirst (2:36:55 AM): No
coughingpuppy (2:37:04 AM): ((We don't all arrive intact?))
MysteryGiIgamesh (2:37:07 AM): (Eh, critter's of doom are stopped by any construct or undead, as well as anyone with the fortification armor. Which...Is most everyone later on.)
SirAlexTheFirst (2:37:10 AM): The Battlefield group's limbs drop off along the way.
Sarcazmo47 (2:37:19 AM): Damn.
SirAlexTheFirst (2:37:23 AM): They are replaced by singing robots.
tortgurt (2:37:32 AM): (well yeah, but they can still 'kill' things
AndrewRogue (2:37:32 AM): (XD)
tortgurt (2:37:33 AM): )
SirAlexTheFirst (2:37:36 AM): Just kidding.
Sarcazmo47 (2:37:38 AM): Gimmie a bucket and a megaphone.
Sarcazmo47 (2:39:05 AM): What ho for Pesant Group, then?
SirAlexTheFirst (2:40:05 AM): Everyone arrives at their destinations intact.
SirAlexTheFirst (2:40:12 AM): Well, as intact as when they set out.
Sarcazmo47 (2:40:16 AM): Okay.
Sarcazmo47 (2:40:22 AM): So, Bandon and Aria are in Gelendar.
Sarcazmo47 (2:40:29 AM): Battlefield Group is outside Gelendar.
tortgurt (2:40:30 AM): (yes bigsbie is at his bed with emotinal baggage)
Sarcazmo47 (2:40:34 AM): Bigsbie is in bed.
Sarcazmo47 (2:40:43 AM): What do we cut to, then?
tortgurt (2:42:14 AM): (i would say the peasent group)
SirAlexTheFirst (2:42:25 AM): I would say sleep
tortgurt (2:42:34 AM): (that works too)
MysteryGiIgamesh (2:42:38 AM): (Maybe to the poor ol' wizard that's been waiting more than a few sessions now? >_>)
Sarcazmo47 (2:42:39 AM): I can dig it.
SirAlexTheFirst (2:43:04 AM): You should drag Beth up for next game. Or try.
SirAlexTheFirst (2:43:14 AM): Actually I have no clue when the next game will be.
MysteryGiIgamesh (2:43:24 AM): *sighs* Why would she need to be here for me to be introduced? o_O
coughingpuppy (2:43:31 AM): ((Not Wednesday night.))
tortgurt (2:43:40 AM): (because it is more fun that way)
SirAlexTheFirst (2:45:49 AM): 1250 XP for Bigsbie
SirAlexTheFirst (2:45:56 AM): 750 for everyone else
tortgurt (2:46:07 AM): (yay)
