DM_Hallu: Okay, well, I don't see Owly online yet soooo I'll work him in whenever he gets here... aaaand SESSION BEGIN.

Akavi has taken a new form since the last adventure: that of a handsome, silver-haired human male.

Markas_Tarmikos is unaware of this, and is wondering where the woman he saw last time had disappeared to.

DM_Hallu: Akavi has informed you all of a delightful opportunity (as House Aletheia calls horrible dangerous adventuring missions to its White Rose Seekers) involving a field trip to the jungle, which will be at least slightly more palatable than the mud swamps of last time.

Akavi: ((It'll be fun!))

Markas_Tarmikos: ((So what of Markas, who isn't currently associated with Aletheia?))

DM_Hallu: ((I'm sure they'll let you tag along if you ask nicely.))

Glru: "jungle is good, is warm in jungle..."

Markas_Tarmikos: ((I bought Glru drinks, I should be safe.))

Akavi: ((Very well. Glru, in Akavi's eyes you are now responsible for Markas' actions.))

Glru: ((you got Glru's name wrong in the article. you will need to buy more drinks.))

Markas_Tarmikos: ((I what? :o))

Markas_Tarmikos: ((I thought I spelt it right. X3))

Tobias: ((do you have a link to the article?))

DM_Hallu: You don't know much, except that the mission involves protecting a guy who has reason to believe he will be the target of attacks during the upcoming celebration of the autumnal equinox... you are to go to the town of Haith and report to Lord Mannington Schopler, and you have papers that say exactly what I just told you.

Glru: when the group gathers, Glru pulls a rolled-up magazine from his pocket and passes it around.

Markas_Tarmikos: ((http://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=dgmqkkmb_1frkgxw8v&hl=en ))

DM_Hallu: (the rolled-up magazine that Glru has is the same one that Markas just linked to)

Tobias: ((thanks))

Tobias: ((how sad. I apparently don't have access to the document))

Glru taps Markas with the magazine before handing it around "Glru is not "known only as Glru." Glru is Glru Greatwrench, Journeyman Mechanik."

Markas_Tarmikos: "Sorry, I didn't catch that during the interview."

Glru: "Squirel did not ask.�

Akavi looks at the magazine, reading the article quickly and determining that it betray's no confidential information.

Tobias: ((chaz, you still have my email, right? do you think you could mail it to me?))

Glru hesitates at the exposition of their next adventure "why is he to be attacked? perhaps he has it coming?"

Markas_Tarmikos: ((Alright then.))

Tobias: ((thanks))

Markas_Tarmikos: ((Didn't you register on Google Docs though?))

Akavi shrugs and runs his hands through his short hair as Akavi adjusts to the new form. "I wasn't told."

Ika_Yorri: ((before we set out on the road, I'll need to buy the services of a priest to remove this damned Charisma drain... should be 280 gp, without negotiations))

Tobias: ((I have a google account. I'm not registered for anything though))

Healer_Lina: ((Ika - Lina'll do it for free))

Markas_Tarmikos: ((The Google Docs version includes a cartoon that I drew, but I suppose I could add that separately))

DM_Hallu: (Can Lina cast Restoration?)

Healer_Lina: ((Assuming Lesser Restore works))

DM_Hallu: (No, you need a full restore.)

DM_Hallu: (But you can get it from House Haurvatat for 240 *happy smile*)

Healer_Lina: (( :P ))

Glru: ((Glru sings "I feel pretty"))

Glru wobbles his hand side to side "Glru is not certain about protecton person he does not no from people he does not know for reasons he does not know...�

DM_Hallu: While you are looking at magazines, you also see this article in one of the local newspapers: http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=dgmwvmds_7g3sd6vfd&hl=en

Akavi looks at Glru in surprise. "The money is quite good."

Glru: "Could be glru would learn they have good reason for killing."

Tobias: ((...could you email me that too, Hallu? ^^; ))

Glru: "How good?�

DM_Hallu: ((Sure.))

Ika_Yorri: ((I will needs the documents e-mailed, too))

Markas_Tarmikos: ((Yay, a happy ending for Ant. X3))

Akavi: ((@ Hallu: Heh))

Akavi: ((Happy endings all around!))

DM_Hallu: ((sent!))

Healer_Lina: ((BUTBUTBUT..... o.0))

Healer_Lina: ((Oh fine. :P))

DM_Hallu: ((don't worry, Lina, this all makes perfect logical sense once you know a couple things that, well, you don't yet))

Markas_Tarmikos: ((Markas has his bow now. But he can't use it. XD))

Akavi shrugged. "Apparently, this gentleman is quite flush."

Healer_Lina: ((But it makes me look bad. :())

*** Lunos joined #AVENdnd

DM_Hallu: ((I knows. You're still way ahead of the rest of the party in XP though))

Glru gets a rather stiff drink upon learning of anthony's 'recovery', when the stump stops bleeding, it's dead...

DM_Hallu: Welcome, Lunos!

Lunos: ((hello, sorry I'm late))

Healer_Lina: (( xD ))

Tobias: ((I find it hard to believe that Anthony wouldn't have been eaten by the spider.))

DM_Hallu: ((You are quite welcome to find it hard to believe.))

DM_Hallu: ((Please do so in character, though, it's more entertaining that way.))

Akavi looks at the article about Anthony and grins in amusement.

Markas_Tarmikos reads the article, then takes out the bow he obtained earlier and looks at it. "Maybe I should hand this back if I see him..."

DM_Hallu: As you are discussing these latest news developments, a featherkin walks into the room.... aaaaand that's physical descs/intros from everyone, please!

Lunos: ((okay, so quick explanation of where we're at and what I've missed?))

Glru: "So how good is 'quite good'? having money does not mean he is giving money"

DM_Hallu: ((Lunos, you've missed nothing except people getting together to talk about the news and their latest mission.))

Lunos: ((okay, exact setting atm?))

Markas_Tarmikos is a Squirrelfolk Rogue, but is better known as a satire comedian, notorious for his scathing remarks against many officials.

DM_Hallu: Everybody is in... uh... let's say a coach station, getting things ready for their journey to the jungle.

Tobias frowns at the article. "Hold on a second, this doesn't make any sense. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to know he made it out, but.... Jeez, he was missing an ARM for crying out loud!"

Akavi is a handsome, silver-haired human male dressed in elegant finery. An elaborate strait-backed pin is pinned on his shimmering cloak, adorned with a loopy, elegant "A" and the image of a red rose.

Tobias: ((I'm gonna apologize ahead of time if I'm a bit distracted))

DM_Hallu: ((that's okay))

Healer_Lina is a graceful human female dressed in a brilliant white overcoat with the sign of House Haurvatat on the back.

DM_Hallu: Lunos, you recognize Akavi as the Red Rose Seeker that you were instructed you'd be working with for this next mission.

Markas_Tarmikos is dressed in simple clothing, including a pair of sturdy yet supple sandals ((Sandals of Elvenkind)), and a neutral grey cloak ((Cloak of Elvenkind)).

Akavi looks at Tobias. "Miracles happen. Don't worry too much about it."

Ika_Yorri is short and long-eared, even compared to other Rabbitfolk. She's clad in studded leather of the highest quality, and wears a rapier at her side. If it weren't for her white fur and vibrant, curious eyes, she might look like a tiny swashbuckler.

Lunos walks into the group, a featherkin with the appearance of a snowy owl.

Markas_Tarmikos: "Yeah, I know I make fun of Haurvatat, but when it's a life or death situation those guys know how to heal."

Glru is a large and burly Cougar-markings Catfolk, who makes the census hesitate with the pen over 'large' before finally checking the box marked 'medium', he is dressed in quality worker's clothes and wears a greatcoat that has seen, and survived a lot of abuse.

DM_Hallu: Akavi, you recognize Lunos as the Pink Rose Seeker that you were instructed you'd be working with for this next mission.

Glru also carries his namessake, a Steamjack wrench almost as tall as he is.

Akavi turns his head to the new arrival, forstalling further discussion of the newspaper article.

Markas_Tarmikos: "Ahh, hello there. Who might you be, then?" Markas asks Lunos, quite confused.

DM_Hallu: ((clarification: the wrench is called a greatwrench, not a glru.))

Tobias is a cheerful looking human male with lightly tanned skin, brown eyes, and wavy brown hair that he keeps tied in a loose ponytail. He stands at 5'11", wears fullplate armor, and is carrying a longsword.

Glru: ((pokes hallu))

DM_Hallu: ((yes?))

Glru: ((for your silly clarification))

Lunos appears slightly flustered at Markas's question. "Oh, hello, I'm Lunos, recent graduate. I'm here for my first mission"

Akavi walks over to the snowy featherkin. "Greetings. Akavi, Red Rose Seeker," he says, not revealing too much before his expectations are confirmed. "Name?"

DM_Hallu: ((well you didn't refer to yourself as "glru greatwrench" in your description so i thought it might be confusing for people.))

Akavi: ((Well, imagine I did that before you posted.))

Akavi rubs his hands together. "Excellent. What are your areas of expertise?"

DM_Hallu: ((actually, I forgot, Lunos' application papers for Pink Rose Seeker aren't all the way done yet, but he's already acting like one because it's simpler that way.))

Glru spends some time looking at lunos, either because he has not met many featherkin, or because he's wondering what lunos would look like without feathers, lightly basted at 350 degrees for 4 hours.

Healer_Lina smiles welcomingly at Lunos and waits for the crush to pass before introducing herself.

Glru: ((ahhhhh))

Lunos: ((sorry for being slow, trying to read stuff))

DM_Hallu: ((which stuff?))

Ika_Yorri yawns. "Ha-llo," she says to Lunos, somewhat dazed.

Lunos smiles brightly to Akavi. "Well, I graduated in Arcana, but I've also dabbled about in other things. I'm especially fond of studying our world and studies of faith."

Lunos: ((trying to read char descriptions and take notes so i can keep track of everything))

DM_Hallu: ((oh, i see. that's fair.))

Akavi nods. "I specialize in arcana, planar cosmology, and political and social infiltration. Good to meet you."

Glru peers at the unusually unsparkly Ika "sleepy?"

Lunos then turns to Lina and extends a feathery hand with the talons cut short and poorly filed, his glance briefly passing over Gluru.

DM_Hallu: ((featherkin have both arms and wings, in case anyone was curious on that point.))

Healer_Lina: ((Oh? I thought their wings terminated in hands?)

Glru smiles at Lunos, showing perhaps more teeth than appropriate for a friendly smile "what do you do?"

Healer_Lina shakes Lunos's hand and introduces herself as a registered healer with House Haurvatat.

Ika_Yorri looks up at Glru after a pause. "Tiredy, yesss," she says.

Lunos seems oblivious to the suspicious nature of Glru's smile and extends a hand to the cougar. "Priest, more or less, though as you can see by my presence here, it was thought by myself and others that I should broaden my horizons."

Healer_Lina: "Interesting. What do you consider yourself a Priest of, then?�

DM_Hallu: Lunos, you know about what Akavi knows with regards to this mission: a successful nobleman in the jungle, and pioneer of sustainable tropical agriculture, has requested a specialized defense during the upcoming celebration of the autumnal equinox because he has reason to believe he and his family will be attacked at that time.

Glru shakes the offered hand "journeyman priest." Glru summarizes "and you are wrath of gods priest, or kiss the boo-boos priest?"

DM_Hallu: Also, with regards to someone's earlier question about payment, you will be paid about in line with what you were paid for the previous couple adventures.

Lunos pauses, considering the question in a manner indicating obliviousness to Glru's tone. "I'm a priest of Alimus, god to many a featherkin, and... more of a self-improvement priest."

Markas_Tarmikos: "Self Improvement huh? Sounds great: 'How To Be a Better You' by Lunos the priest of Alimus."

Glru is still suspicious about this nobleman who needs guards against an unnamed enemy "1500 gold is good for guarding for few days if nobody attacks, or if attackers are foxkin. is not so good if attackers are army, or handfull of warjacks.

Markas_Tarmikos: ((X3 couldn't resist.))

Healer_Lina: "I worship Pelor and Eir, but I have to admit my ignorance of Alimus. Please, when you have a moment, I would like to hear more on this."

Akavi looks at Glru. "The House carefully assesses the threat level of each assignment and matches a group that's capable of dealing with the problem."

Markas_Tarmikos: "I'll have to admit you guys do seem quite capable... It's whether you're willing that worries me."

Glru clarifies to Lunos "example. big noise, monsters charge out, RAWR. Do you cast spells to wound monsters, or do you wait and cast spells to fix wounds?"

Lunos seems a bit ruffled by Markas's comment. "Chapter one will be about tolerance." He turns to Lina, calming down. "I would be more than pleased to tell you all."

DM_Hallu: Akavi, now that Glru mentions it, you think you remember Seeker Aerith mentioning something about a small number of wild elf guerrillas being expected.

Akavi: ((Would it be particularly helpful if one of us was an elf?))

Glru: ((we've got to fight pointy-eared monkeys?))

DM_Hallu: ((That was not covered in your briefing.))

Markas_Tarmikos: ((*ba-dum TSH*))

Akavi: ((Oh, why not?))

Markas_Tarmikos: ((I can speak Elven, thankfully.))

Lunos considers Glru. "I consider my arsenal or spells to be for both offense and amplification, but I'm hoping to try my hand at tactical approaches to situations."

DM_Hallu: ((Because being an elf or not is a tactical decision rather than a matter of policy and Seeker Aerith did not have enough information to decide for you.))

Markas_Tarmikos: "Well expect a bit of Diplomancy. These guys talked a freakin' harpoon spider into helping them out."

Markas_Tarmikos: ((Oh god I did not just use Diplomancy in-character. XD retcon.))

DM_Hallu: ((it's okay, we've all read Order of the Stick))

Akavi sighs at the commotion and closes his eyes, concentrating. His human ears elongate and his face and body thins, becoming more willowy and graceful. Once he is fully elven, he holds up a hand to forstall questions from Lunos and Markus. "Changeling."

DM_Hallu: ((Akavi, what kind of elf are you?))

Markas_Tarmikos: "Interesting. You do that often?"

DM_Hallu: ((Can I assume that you guys are heading out while you have this conversation, or is Glru still reticent?))

Ika_Yorri: ((Moon elf, I would reckon))

Lunos: That could come in handy.

Akavi: ((Let's go with Wood elf))

Akavi: "As needed, thank you."

DM_Hallu: ((Ok))

Akavi: ((I don't actually take on the racial bonuses, etc, remember...))

DM_Hallu: ((Yes. And are you wearing a traditional wood elf costume, or modern adventuring garb? Just curious.))

Healer_Lina heads out whenever the others are ready, and talks theology with Lunos as she goes.

Ika_Yorri: ((Wood Elves might still be persecuted where a Grey Elf would not be))

Glru: ((Glru is still reticent about protecting a stranger for unknown reasons, could be these wood elves want him dead for hunting them for sport or unwelcomed recreation with their womenfolk, in which case Glru would help them...))

Akavi: ((Akavi's previously described clothing, although his outfit looks somehow more "wild", and slightly more worn.))

DM_Hallu: ((Glru, that comment was uncalled for.))

Markas_Tarmikos also heads out when everyone else is ready, trying to think up some jokes to entertain the group with.

Glru: ((help them to KILL him hallu.))

DM_Hallu: ((oh wait... I misread it. In that case it was only mildly called for.))

Glru: ((not help him do the bad things.))

Lunos follows, talking avidly with Lina. "Tonight if there are no clouds I'll show you his constellation."

Glru: "when large group want someone dead, generally there is reason. Glru would like to know reason."

Lunos: ((thought the whole thing was slightly odd ;p))

Ika_Yorri swaggers slightly as she walks. She yawns again.

Akavi gestures impatiently at Glru. "We can ask... When we get there."

DM_Hallu: Glru... make an Int check.

Tobias: "Well, I guess we'll have to find out when we get there."

DM_Hallu: ...to be told what Akavi just told you. Never mind.

Ika_Yorri: "Ika... would like to be carried. Yes yes, I would... Anyone?"

DM_Hallu: (akavi AND tobias, whee!)

Tobias offers to carry Ika.

DM_Hallu: ((Ika, is anything in particular wrong with your character today?))

Akavi takes the magazine, long forgotten about, and tosses it into the waste receptacle with a strange look.

Healer_Lina continues the conversation with Lunos over MSN to avoid clutter.

Ika_Yorri: ((mainly being tired from sleeping in a humid, sweltering environment))

DM_Hallu: ((you aren't at the jungle yet, Ika))

Ika_Yorri: ((referring to the swamp, actually))

Markas_Tarmikos: ((It's a Psychological issue, Hallu. :3 just thinking about it makes her tired.))

DM_Hallu: ((oh, I see. ok.))

Glru: (20 on the int check)

Markas_Tarmikos: ((And thinking about being tired makes me feel tired. Though it could be that it's 5 past 1 in the morning. :D))

DM_Hallu: ((You realize that Akavi's bosses probably do not know the exact reason either, and since you are not a contractual employee of House Aletheia, you are under no obligation to fight on any particular side once you get there.)

Akavi walks along, practicing at least three different languages under his breath.

Glru picks up Ika, weighs her in his hand, then sets her on top of the saddlebag draped across his shoulder. it's substantially less full than before he acquired the haversack.

Markas_Tarmikos: ((Anthony doesn't mind that you stole his haversack. :3))

Glru: ((he was dead at the time...))

Glru: ((and glu is pretty sure necromancy is involved, since the corpse had stopped bleeding. Glru and Akavi had an amusing ooc discussion about the benefits of keeping a severed arm.))

Lunos: ((hold on, zombie?))

Akavi: ((Nonsense.))

DM_Hallu: ((Before you came in, people were discussing a newspaper article which reported that one of their companions from last adventure, who *totally* died, had actually made a full recovery and was waltzing around claiming not to hold it against them.))

Glru: ((zombies rarely give newspaper interviews "Braaaaains" makes for bad copy))

Akavi slows his pace to match Glru's. "Still caught up about that article?"

Lunos: ((is Lunos aware of this?))

DM_Hallu: ((No, but you read the article earlier and are aware that there was a foxkin left for dead who miraculously survived. Lemme get the link...))

Tobias trails behind slightly, taking in the scenery and generally keeping an eye out for the type of surprises that tend to occur to the party.

Akavi: ((Is Glru ignoring Akavi, or just afk?))

DM_Hallu: (( http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=dgmwvmds_7g3sd6vfd&hl=en for Lunos))

Glru: ((for some reason my text didn't enter. i hate when the curser isn't where you think it is. re-typing))

Glru shrugs, though not enough to unseat the bunny dozing on his shoulder "Glru suspect you speak of dead fox. Glru does not know if it is ressurection, or twin, or doppleganged, but dead is dead."

Akavi considers. "The 'body' that we saw was pretty mangled. It could have been a clever illusion. Either way, I don't see how it matters."

Glru: "Glru does not think spider would be fooled by illusion... also body does not stop bleeding until wound is healed or body is dead.

Healer_Lina: "Indeed. It is not possible he was still alive, unless Positive Energy does not heal him."

Glru nods exactly as if he understands what akavi is saying.

Ika_Yorri: "Body was dead, Glru." Ika yawns again. "Priests stop that, if if if they're good 'nuff..."

Healer_Lina: "At House Haurvatat, I have seen living constructs and people tainted by the grave but not yet undead... thought I doubt either of those apply."

Akavi shurgged. "Be that as it may- let's concentrate on the job at hand. I really fail to care about our earstwhile companion. Why does it matter?"

Ika_Yorri: "Dead fox could be trying to kill us and get his stuff back, nay?"

Akavi laughed. "I think I'd be able to tell if Anthony was capable of that type of duplicity. I'd have liked him better."

Markas_Tarmikos: ((Ant is not the vengeful type. xD))

Glru: "fox and squirel pretty much the same... fox talked less. What does squirel do? Besides collecting injuries?"

Markas_Tarmikos: "Well, by trade I'm a comedian, but I occasionally do a bit of work on the side."

Tobias grins slightly. "I think your imagination is getting the better of you, Ika."

Ika_Yorri looks up at Tobias. "Never said it was likely, by any stretch... But it could happen..."

Akavi looks at Markus. "What's a changeling's favorite part of the temple?"

Ika_Yorri: "The altar"

Ika_Yorri: "Har har."

Tobias shrugs good-naturedly. "I suppose."

Healer_Lina: ((QUACK!))

Akavi nods and smiles.

Akavi: ((Nice, Ika!))

Markas_Tarmikos: ((Ninja'd XD))

Markas_Tarmikos laughs. "That one I'm keeping for future reference."

Glru blinks, noticing the squirel with a 'where'd he come from' expression.

Glru winces at Ika's joke and mimes throwing her into the trees.

Lunos is still deeply engaged in discussion with Lina to the point of missing most of what everyone else is saying.

DM_Hallu: So, you guys walk for about a week. By the sixth day, you are deep in a dense and humid forest.

DM_Hallu: You have, like, a map or something, according to which you are on the right track towards Haith.

Lunos has continued to discuss with Lina non-stop the whole way.

Akavi has been quietly appraising the Pink Rose Seeker.

DM_Hallu: Can I get what order you are walking in, please? The path is easily wide enough for two or more to walk abreast if they like.

Markas_Tarmikos has likely been sharing jokes, both innocent and politically incorrect, with some of the others.

Glru: ((survival checks for food gathering/hunting, or have we been provendered?))

DM_Hallu: ((sure, make survival checks if you like.))

Markas_Tarmikos: ((I'd probably be at the back of the line.))

Glru: "Glru wonders if house owns wagons...�

Akavi has been near the middle of the group.

Markas_Tarmikos: ((17 on a Survival check))

Lunos: ((should I do survival check as well?))

Ika_Yorri: ((I'll be carried by Glru or Tobias... probably switching every few hours))

Ika_Yorri: ((Survival: 18))

*** Healer_Lina quit (Ping timeout)

DM_Hallu: Markas, you've got enough food for yourself and three others. Ika, yourself and four others... that should cover it, I think...

Markas_Tarmikos: ((And Zeal died. :o))

DM_Hallu: ((yeah :o ))

Glru: ((grlu rolls a 19, a 20 and a 4, so 23, 24 and 8))

DM_Hallu: Glru, you find LOTS of food, except on the third day when you have to share some of Ika's.

Glru: ((lina rolled a 1 on the survival check))

Tobias: ((10))

DM_Hallu: Tobias, you find enough food for just yourself. There is already lots of redundant food, please to stop rolling now.

Akavi simply shares food from those who gather it.

DM_Hallu: So Markas is at the back, where are the rest of you?

Tobias: ((sorry, hadn't quite caught up ^^; ))

DM_Hallu: ((that's ok.))

Glru: ((knocks a python over the head and drags it, eating parts as he gets hungry))

DM_Hallu: ((heee))

Tobias has been walking near Glru since they've been trading off on carrying Ika.

*** Healer_Lina joined #AVENdnd

Markas_Tarmikos: ((I'm okay with you eating snakes Glru, as long as it's not a Tsuchinoko. Those are very rare. :3))

Markas_Tarmikos: ((And welcome back Lina))

Healer_Lina: ((Sorry, internet burp))

Glru: (ika and Glru sell food to akavi at a reasonable rate, while Karkas picks his pockets after seeing where he keeps his money))

Ika_Yorri: ((as I said, I'm in the same party position as Glru or Tobias, depending on who carries me at the time))

Healer_Lina: ((Didn't you get my message?))

Markas_Tarmikos: ((XD Karkas.))

DM_Hallu: ((no, which message?))

Healer_Lina: ((Survival 17 + Purify Food and Drink should cover whoever needs food))

DM_Hallu: ((nope, only yourself and three others.))

DM_Hallu: ((but yeah, between all of you, there is lots of surplus food and you're all fine.))

Akavi: ((Akavi gets his food from Lina))

Glru: ((we all have plenty to eat, hurray))

Healer_Lina: ((I'll provide for free to anyone who didn't pack food then))

Markas_Tarmikos: ((Markas isn't an outdoorsy type, but he's probably considering taking up Survival as a skill when he levels.))

Glru: ((i am officially sorry i brought it up, let's move on. who wants python on their pizza?))

Healer_Lina: ((Although I will accept donations towards a Wand of Cure Light Wounds to better serve the party. ;) ))

Akavi: ((Hallu, was there Plot headed towards us?))

Lunos: ((i got.... 3 copper?))

Lunos: (there's a plot-afoot monster!))

Ika_Yorri: ((we still need our marching order, people!))

DM_Hallu: All of a sudden while you argue about food and money, a tiger jumps out! Roll Initiative!

Tobias: ((XDD))

Ika_Yorri: ((Init.: 10))

Akavi: ((17+1=18))

Lunos: (16)

Markas_Tarmikos: ((Init: 18))

Tobias: ((15))

Healer_Lina: ((Init 20))

Lunos: (yeah, we need marching order. I'll be next to Lina, probably near the back)

Healer_Lina: ((Does the Tiger look hungry/angry/what?))

Akavi: ((I'm in the middle, as I'm pretty susceptible to harm))

Markas_Tarmikos: ((It's angry at our constant OOCing. :3))

Tobias: ((We can't all be near the back ^^;))

Glru: ((12. i throw ika at the tiger, he'll never expect that!))

Tobias: ((oh yeah, which one of us is currently carrying Ika?))

DM_Hallu: Since the tiger surprised you all, it gets to act first. It pounces on Markas, since he is small and at the back and looks weak.

Markas_Tarmikos: "Meep!"

Glru: roll a die, odds is glru, evens is tobias

Ika_Yorri: ((the coin I flipped says Glru is carrying me))

Tobias: ((and the die I rolled concurs))

Akavi whirls around and looks at the Tiger in surprise.

Glru hassa bhunneh!

DM_Hallu: Luckily, it only hits you with one claw and its bite... for 21 damage total.

Markas_Tarmikos: ((Aw darn. That puts me at -1. D:))

DM_Hallu: Markas is unconscious and bleeding! Lina's turn! And the tiger looks hungry.

Glru isn't all that attached to the little comedian... but, well, it might follow us.

Glru: ((negotiate lina!))

Akavi reaches into his cloak for his component pouch.

Tobias: (( hehehe))

Markas_Tarmikos: ((No, heal me! XD))

Healer_Lina attempts to interpose herself between the Tiger and Markas, activates her Calming Aura, and calls down major healing power on Markas (Cure Moderate; 19 points healed)

DM_Hallu: The Tiger is, like, right on top of Markas, so you can't really get between them very easily. The Calming Aura seems to slow it down, though.

Markas_Tarmikos: ((Am I still healed? Or does Lina not get to do that?))

DM_Hallu: Markas spends his turn coming confusedly out of unconsciousness with a tiger on him.

Glru: ((lie on the body and wiggle in between?))

DM_Hallu: Akavi's turn!

Lunos: (that might be more than one standard action glru)

Markas_Tarmikos: "Nyeh! I don't want to be dinner just yet!"

DM_Hallu: (I agree)

Akavi: In a nimbus of colored dust, Akavi summons a cone of clashing color that envelops the tiger but avoids Lina. (I guess Markas gets blasted too.)

Akavi: ((Color Spray, DC 14))

Markas_Tarmikos: ((it's cool.))

Markas_Tarmikos: ((So I have to roll will against 14, right?))

Akavi: ((Yup.))

Markas_Tarmikos: ((13. Missed by one point. XD))

Glru is tempted to hold a prism in the path of the colour spray, but does not.

DM_Hallu: The tiger blinks in the colors but does not appear to be blinded or stunned. Markas, however, is blinded for 4 rounds and stunned for 5.

Lunos: ((ouch))

DM_Hallu: Lunos' turn!

Healer_Lina: ((ack, AFK.... next turn I Wild Empathize that, y'know, it'd be good for the Tiger's health to fleeee. ((22 on the check))

Glru: ((that makes markas easier to chew,))

Akavi curses in Infernal.

Lunos: (okay, so do I know anything about this tiger? can I roll for knowledge?)

Markas_Tarmikos: "Oh, nice going! Next time, I'm voting Gomeric."

DM_Hallu: (sure, roll for knowledge (nature).)

Lunos: (looking for anything noticeable, particularly any signs of human involvement)

Markas_Tarmikos: ((X3 yay for Markas being the squirrely punching bag.))

Akavi says clearly in Elvish to Markas. "If that's an attempt at comedy, it's for the best you're about to die."

Lunos: (8+8=16)

Markas_Tarmikos: ((Owly's being careful after last time, in other words.))

DM_Hallu: ((haha, good thinking after the megaraptors))

Lunos: (CHAAAR-AUGH!!!)

Tobias: ((that's gonna go down in AD&D history XD))

Lunos: ((if only i'd remembered parenthesis XD))

DM_Hallu: Tigers are the largest and most powerful of the four "big cats" in the genus Panthera. The tiger is an apex predator and obligate carnivore. Also they have stripes. You do not see any signs of human involvement on this one.

Akavi: (("Also, they have stripes." XD ))

Lunos: ((wow, i found some bloody brilliant knowledge there. they have stripes. Oh good, that's gonna be useful.))

Markas_Tarmikos: "You try being funny when you've got a kitty bigger than Glru trying to eat you!"

Akavi: "What's your excuse for all your other jokes?"

Lunos: (can I try for detect motive or anything like that?)

Markas_Tarmikos: "Less talk, more kill."

DM_Hallu: ((Sure. You can even do it this turn, since making a Knowledge check requires no action.))

Markas_Tarmikos: "Not me, the TIGER!"

Lunos: ((so it's an action.... hrmm...))

Akavi: "Getting there, getting there."

Markas_Tarmikos: ((Technically I shouldn't be talking because I'm stunned. :3))

Ika_Yorri: (("As it turns out, the tiger isn't hungry, but is seeking the acknowledgment of his father..."))

DM_Hallu: ((yeah, there's that))

Lunos: ((can i get a link to reference site please? =p))

Akavi: ((Oh, well.))

DM_Hallu: (( http://www.d20srd.org/ ))

Tobias: ((your character's need to talk is subconscious and continues even in your stunned state :-P))

Markas_Tarmikos: (("YOU'RE DOING YOUR DAD REAL PROUD!" Markas screams as the tiger mauls him.))

Glru: ((markas did WHAT to the tiger's mother? shouldn't the tiger have a poofley tail then, and a fondness for acorns?))

Akavi: ((Akavi steps back to avoid blood spatter on his clothes.))

Markas_Tarmikos: ((A Tirrel. Or a Squiger. Your choice. :D))

Markas_Tarmikos: ((Personally I like Squiger.))

Glru: ((squiger sounds nifty.))

Tobias: ((Squiger's a good one))

Lunos extends a claw and a wing towards the tiger and projects a sonic blast.

Lunos: (sound blast at tigger)

DM_Hallu: ((ooh. atk roll?))

Lunos: (burst, rather)

Glru: ((although in crossbreeds the mother goes first i think... liger is a tiger male and a lioness))

Lunos: (nat 9, what all do i add?)

DM_Hallu: ((your dex bonus and base attack bonus.))

Lunos: (other way around is a Tion?)

DM_Hallu: (tigon.)

Lunos: (dex to spell? =p)

Glru: ((the owl roared at midnite))

DM_Hallu: (er... no, my mistake, you don't roll anything. shoulda looked at the spell description first.)

Lunos: (2 dex and 3 base attack, so 13... probably not nearly enough)

Markas_Tarmikos: ((Tigon sounds niftier than Liger. Sounds like a Transformer. "Tigon, transform and roll out!"))

Glru: ((yep, tigons are much rarer though, since tiger females are more picky than tiger males :D ))

Tobias: ((Tigatron, MAXIMIZE!!! XD))

Lunos: (oh shoot I didn't hit anyone else did I?)

Markas_Tarmikos: ((Probably me, but it's okay.))

Lunos: (you're stunned already)

DM_Hallu: The spell does one point of sonic damage to the tiger, one point to Markas, and one point to Lina.

Ika_Yorri: ((*discreetly changes Lunos' 13 to a 14 before anyone notices*))

DM_Hallu: The tiger roars, snapped out of its Calmed state by the damage.

Markas_Tarmikos: ((Dammit.))

Lunos: (oh bugger)

Glru: ((markas is now stunned, blind and deaf, he makes hellen keller jokes,))

Lunos: (did i stun it?)

DM_Hallu: ((that depends, what's your Wis score?))

Lunos: (+4 wis mod)

Glru: ((go math rabbit!))

Markas_Tarmikos: ((*gets ready to roll a new character just in case. :3))

Lunos: (go make johnny get your tiger jokes)

Markas_Tarmikos: ((I'll wait until a confirmed kill mind you. XD))

DM_Hallu: The tiger is stunned for one round! And so is Lina.

Lunos: (sorry lina :'( ))

Markas_Tarmikos: ((XD my only source of healing is stunned. Way to go.))

Lunos: (i didn't mean to!)

Ika_Yorri: ((AHEM))

Markas_Tarmikos: ((It's cool. This is actually quite fun. XD))

Glru: ((bunny has a wand, but you're almost healed anyway))

Lunos: (your only... er, main source of damage is too)

DM_Hallu: Uh... Tobias' turn!

Lunos: (XD)

Markas_Tarmikos: ((If I live through this, be prepared to face my... SQUIRRELY WRATH!))

DM_Hallu: ((if your attention span lasts long enough, that is))

Markas_Tarmikos: ((True.))

Glru: ((if he dies, Glru is keeping the tail. it's poofley....))

Lunos: (I call the ears)

Markas_Tarmikos: ((Fine, Glru gets dibs on the tail. But only because he mentioned it.))

Glru: ((Tobias?))

Tobias draws his sword and charges the tiger, attacking in whichever way he thinks is least likely to hit Markas.

Lunos: (i wanted the tail but the ears will have to do since markas called them first)

DM_Hallu: The tiger is not currently engaged in melee, so you're cool. Make an attack roll.

Tobias: ((25))

Lunos: (pew pew!)

Markas_Tarmikos: ((Is that a natural 20? Just curious))

DM_Hallu: You hit the tiger square on! Roll damage.

Tobias: ((nope, sadly))

Markas_Tarmikos: ((Ah well.))

Tobias: ((4))

DM_Hallu: Glru's turn!

Markas_Tarmikos: ((XD what's up with these damage die? They're always such a let-down after a good attack roll. :p))

Tobias: ((I KNOW))

DM_Hallu: ((unless you are Parsley...))

Glru: ((seeing as the tiger is stunned, do i loose anything doing a full charge?))

Healer_Lina: ((Back!))

DM_Hallu: ((nope.))

Tobias: ((Don't forget to drop ika))

DM_Hallu: ((Hi Lina, you are stunned. Lunos hit you with a Sonic Burst.))

Tobias: ((please))

DM_Hallu: ((heh, good point))

Lunos: (i sawry)

Markas_Tarmikos: ((Unless he intends to use Ika in his full charge.))

Lunos: (blunt weapon)

Healer_Lina: ((......do I get a save?))

Akavi: ((Don't forget the penalty for improvised...))

DM_Hallu: ((I rolled it for you.))

Lunos: ((haha))

DM_Hallu: ((Since you were Away and all))

Glru shrugs the bunny and the bag she's sitting on onto the ground, doing as much to keep her upright as he can as a free action, then charges and golfswings his Greatwrench, going for a knockback sort of effect.

Tobias: ((brb))

Healer_Lina: ((Oh.... uh, it's higher now, I inVESTed my earnings in a Vest Of Resistance))

Glru: (20 total))

DM_Hallu: ((well, you failed by several points, so I'm sure it worked out the same.))

Akavi: ((Nice follow-through, Glru! Just remember to keep your shoulders back.))

Lunos: (I inshirted my earnings on a t-shirt)

DM_Hallu: You hit!

Lunos: (haha, nice one akavi)

Markas_Tarmikos: ((And watch out for the squirrel! Last thing we need is Roadkill in an Industrial Revolution Fantasy setting.))

Glru: ((woot! do I get any kind of knockback effect? if so do i trade damage for it?)

DM_Hallu: (if you're going for knockback, that would be a bull rush... uh... make a Strength check.)

Markas_Tarmikos: ((Dangit. Just go for damage Glru. X3))

DM_Hallu: (with a +2 bonus from charging)

Markas_Tarmikos: ((Wait, what? I'm confused now.))

Lunos: (thing's already been calmed then uncalmed and stunned. let's kill it)

Glru: ((ugh. 5 points of damage from the wrench, plus three from Glru's bulging muscles, plus 2 for the charge, so 10))

DM_Hallu: (no, no, a strength check.)

DM_Hallu: (bull rushes do not deal damage.)

Glru: ((22 on the strength check, 17 plus 3 for strength and 2 for the charge))

Healer_Lina: ((Charge adds to attack, not damage))

Healer_Lina: ((or... sorry, nvm))

Glru: ((my goal is to knock the big kitty ass over teakettle, figuring he'll look for easier food once he's no longer standing on anthony. ))

Tobias: ((back))

Glru: ((er, markas))

Markas_Tarmikos: ((XD see? you're attached to Anthony now.))

DM_Hallu: Glru smashes into the tiger valiantly, but does not knock him backwards appreciatively. (it gets +8 for being large and quadrupedal)

Lunos: ((oh bugger, he's probably thinking chicken))

Glru: ((since this is a hungry cat and not a trained guardcat))

DM_Hallu: Ika's turn!

Markas_Tarmikos: ((He feels like Chicken Tonight. :3))

Ika_Yorri lands on the ground, draws her wands, and unleashes a fearsome Magic Missile! (Use Magic Device: 22, Damage: 5)

DM_Hallu: ((er... appreciably, not appreciatively.))

DM_Hallu: The Magic Missile sizzles into the tiger's flesh!

Tobias: ((we get a +2 bonus for charging?))

DM_Hallu: ((on attack rolls and bull rush attempts, yes.))

Lunos: (so i can't charge in with magic missile?)

DM_Hallu: Lina and Markas miss their turns due to being stunned... Akavi's turn!

Glru: ((wait wait wait... did the attempted knockback deprive me of my wrench? i would be a better fighter if I read all the rules... i would not shoulderblock a bigger predator, that's silly...))

DM_Hallu: ((nope. well, you can, but it would give you no appreciable benefit.))

DM_Hallu: ((It did not deprive you of your wrench.))

Akavi moves to the back of the group and drops into a summoning trance, tracing runes in the air and whispering in Infernal.

DM_Hallu: Lunos!

Lunos: (not me again! I'll just mess things up more :'( )

Lunos: (can I try to gain any more knowledge of it?)

Markas_Tarmikos: ((XD I never even got a chance to bluff and hide now that I think about it. Darn those surprise rounds. I could've tested my epic hiding ability otherwise. :D))

DM_Hallu: (awwww, don't feel bad Lunos... )

Lunos: (weak spots, etc?)

Tobias: ((it's stripes are black and orange...))

Akavi: ((Got any buffs, Lunos?))

Glru: ((you can hide in his lower intestine shortly markas))

Markas_Tarmikos: ((It's wearing a Ceiling Fan, which you now notice.))

Lunos: (one or two)

Lunos: (I unplug ceiling fan and cause it to overheat)

Tobias: ((oh man, didn't we have a good joke with a ceiling fan? something about it being an ambassador or something?))

DM_Hallu: ((I do not remember this...))

Markas_Tarmikos: ((I vaguely remember something about it...))

Akavi: ((Anyway, tiger savagely mauling people...))

DM_Hallu: ((we're waiting for Lunos.))

Lunos, seeing Akavi as the greatest potential aide in saving Markas, flashes his holy symbol and casts Bless on Akavi.

Glru: ((flap your wings appetizingly))

Tobias: ((aw man XDD))

Lunos: ((for you or the tiger O.o))

Glru: ((oh *THAT* will end well))

Markas_Tarmikos: ((Butbut isn't Akavi evil? o.o))

Tobias: ((hahahaha))

Glru: ((lunos doesn't know that.))

Lunos: ((wait....)

Markas_Tarmikos: ((Blessing him might cause him to explode. :o))

DM_Hallu: Umm... strangely, Bless does not have an alignment-based effect.

Tobias: ((he doesn't know that though ^^ ))

Markas_Tarmikos: ((Crisis averted. :D))

Glru: ((or disrupt the bug summoning))

DM_Hallu: Congratulations Akavi, you now have a +1 to attack roles and saves vs fear.

DM_Hallu: Tobias!

Lunos: ((oh God, that would have been two accidentally devastating moves right after another))

Markas_Tarmikos: ((At least Lunos has the right mindframe of saving my squirrely butt. Otherwise there won't be much of my tail to recover. :3))

Glru: ((yeah, don't cast it on the guys actually *hitting* the cat :DD))

Tobias swings at the tiger with his sword again. ((18))

Glru: ((and we change lunos to Jar-Jar :))

DM_Hallu: Hits! Roll damage.

Akavi: ((Right, everything's fine, nobody panic.))

Lunos: ((meesa wanna be your cleric!))

Tobias: ((4 again))

Lunos: ((Don't Panic!))

Markas_Tarmikos: ((Markas: "WHAT ABOUT ME?!"))

Lunos: ((shoot, I probably misread and confused markas with tobias))

Markas_Tarmikos: ((Markas: You expect me not to panic when I've been blinded, deafened and stunned and am currently nearly a tiger's lunch? D: ))

Markas_Tarmikos: ((Markas: Oh wait, stunned. *collapses again*))

Ika_Yorri: ((Was my attack the most damaging so far? That's not right...))

Tobias: ((I keep rolling 2s... �� ))

Akavi: ((Gaaah. In 114 XP I'm totally learning Magic Missile.))

Markas_Tarmikos: ((Someone needs to learn the art of Twisty-sword-in-the-wound fu.))

Lunos: ((I think i blessed the completely wrong person))

DM_Hallu: The tiger snaps back into consciousness and lunges at Tobias, perceiving him and his giant sword as a enemy.

Markas_Tarmikos: ((You blessed Akavi, so yeah. XD))

Akavi: ((Sorry, Lunos, but... yeah. I summon stuff, and stun others stuff.))

Lunos: ((what's he doing anyway?))

DM_Hallu: Tobias, make a Grapple check.

Glru: ((akavi is the red rose sorcerer, Tobias is the tin wrapped swordguy))

Lunos: ((oh bugger, i meant tobias... shewt))

Tobias: ((er... sorry, what do I do for that?))

Markas_Tarmikos: ((Are they going down the yellow brick road? Glru could be the lion who's already got his damn courage. Courage in a bottle. :3))

DM_Hallu: ((Base attack bonus plus strength.))

Akavi: ((Well, I appreciate the thought.))

Lunos: ((I meant to bless tobias instead of akavi))

Tobias: ((no rolling?))

Markas_Tarmikos: ((You can do that next turn. :D))

Lunos: ((Now that I know you're evil I'll remember to keep my mouth shut when you sneeze))

DM_Hallu: ((Oh, sorry, that plus d20.))

Akavi: ((Heee.))

Tobias: ((16))

Markas_Tarmikos: ((A simple "Gesundheit" could also suffice, Lunos.))

Tobias: ((same thing, just german ^^; ))

Markas_Tarmikos: ((Ohh. XD))

Lunos: ((not for a priest))

Markas_Tarmikos: ((XD I know how to pronounce it, I know how to spell it, but I never knew what it meant until now.))

Lunos: ((I think I got on someone's nerve for saying that in church once instead of the obvious XD))

Glru: ((actually 'ghezuntite' means roughly "what a mess" i've been told))

DM_Hallu: The tiger hits Tobias with one paw for 10 damage, then establishes a grappling hold!

Lunos: ((it's literal translation is closer to "good health", much like spanish "salud"))

Lunos: ((damagad kitty's giving tobias a hug!))

DM_Hallu: Glru's turn!

Glru: ((i was misinformed! [plots revenge]))

Tobias: ((oh really? my grandfather just told me it was 'bless you' in german, but he may have been generalizing))

Lunos: ((probably meant cultural equivalent, since I don't think much is attached to either. much like "lol" in chatspeak it doesn't really mean anything, just something you say))

Glru wallops with wrench, this time with the hurty instead of the pushy.

Glru: (23)

Hallu: Yes, roll damage.

Glru: ((WOOT! 15 thankyouverymuch, whoozyadaddeh?))

Lunos: (freaking wrench clobbers for nearly twice what sword does in 2 hits, nerf nerf nerf)

Glru: ((11+1 on the wrench, 3 for the muscles))

DM_Hallu: You give the tiger a very sizeable wallop. Ika's turn!

Ika_Yorri releases another Magic Missile! (Use Magic Device: 26, Damage: 5 (again! yay!))

Glru: ((it helps when you roll a 5 and a 6 instead of a 2 and 2 :D))

Lunos: (hadn't thought of it that way)

DM_Hallu: Lina is no longer stunned, and it is her turn!

Lunos: (woots!)

Healer_Lina: ((Lina is also very very lost, both OOC and IC due to the stun))

Lunos: (tiger! get it!)

DM_Hallu: Lina, a bunch of people are attacking and hurting a poor innocent tiger that happened to attack them first. What do you do?

Akavi: ((Heal Tobias.))

Healer_Lina rapidly looks around her for injuries and healthinesses.

Lunos: (healthinesses :D)

Akavi: ((Markus is blinded and stunned, and Tobias is down 10 hp.))

DM_Hallu: Tobias is down 10, Markas (and yourself) are each down 1 I believe.

DM_Hallu: Wait, Markas might be more than 1.

Tobias: ((markas is at -1))

Healer_Lina: ((How's the Tiger?))

Tobias: ((...before he got healed by lina))

Tobias: ((if that did in fact occur))

Akavi: ((It did.))

Lunos: ((tiger is at....))

Ika_Yorri: ((I believe Markas is down 3 hp))

DM_Hallu: ((The tiger is down, uh, 34.))

Markas_Tarmikos: ((I am now at 17hp.))

DM_Hallu: ((it's at about a quarter of hits hit points))

Markas_Tarmikos: ((down to -1 by the tiger, back up to 18 by Lina, then down a bit to 17 by the sonic blast.))

Lunos: (still another dozen or so :O)

Glru: markas was down 21, healed 19, then injured for 1

Healer_Lina: ((Can I still attempt to stare it down into retreating, or is it in a "fight to the death" sort of mood?))

DM_Hallu: Sure, you can attempt to stare it down.

Lunos: (it is attached to tobias though)

Markas_Tarmikos: ((Please, kill it before it makes Squirrel casserole out of me. XD))

Healer_Lina: ((Wild Empathy 30 for NASTY DOM HUMANOIDS HERE NOT MEAL RUN NOW"))

Lunos: (but we need it for tigerskin blanket!)

Glru: ((don't worry Markas, it won't make a casserole out of you... it's gluten intolerant and ain't eat noodles))

Ika_Yorri: ((that's Akavi's nickname for Glru, Lunos))

Healer_Lina: ((Yes, but if it leaves now we get no more injuries, don't kill a possibly endangered species, and still get full xp. :D))

DM_Hallu: Akavi's turn! What are you summoning, Akavi?

DM_Hallu: ((Glru, the tiger is not you, plzthx))

Glru: ((hey, whatever you heard about Glru and akavi as a chick is not true...))

Akavi: A Large fiendish centipede appears in a flash of brimstone, screeching terribly and lunging at the tiger. ((22 hp, makes attack roll 18))

DM_Hallu: Hits! Roll damage.

Akavi: ((7 plus poison))

DM_Hallu: ((Fort save DC on poison?))

Akavi: ((Fort DC 11 or 3 Dex damage))

Markas_Tarmikos: ((Ooh, I like this approach. Kick it in the Dex, where it hurts for a tiger. :3))

DM_Hallu: The tiger is hurt badly but seems to shake off the poison.

DM_Hallu: Lunos!

Lunos: ((meesa gonna.....))

Lunos: ((is it still attached to Tobias?))

DM_Hallu: ((yes, but it looks like it's considering detaching itself in the near future.))

Lunos: (i figure i might as well spearjab it)

DM_Hallu: ((ok, roll attack.))

Lunos grabs his shortspear and lunge!

DM_Hallu: ((are you lunging carefully to avoid tobias, or lunging to give the maximum possible chance of hitting the tiger?))

Lunos: (19+3)

DM_Hallu: ((either way, roll damage :) ))

Lunos: (er, I think my character would have been careful out of guilt for jar-jar'ing around)

Lunos: ((2+1))

DM_Hallu: Luckily, you hit the tiger.

Lunos: ((XD))

DM_Hallu: Tobias!

Tobias: ((how does the grapple affect me? have I lost my sword, or is it pinned, or what?))

DM_Hallu: ((you can't use your sword, but you can use a light or one-handed weapon at a penalty, or you can make grapple or escape artist checks to try to escape.))

Lunos: (tiger houdini)

Tobias: ((... my sword is a one-handed weapon though...))

Glru: ((you are fortunate that it is a ropetiger, so you get a synergy on your escape check if you have 5 ranks in use rope))

DM_Hallu: ((oh really? my mistake. attack away.))

DM_Hallu: ((what? no, it is not a ropetiger.))

Akavi: ((Hee hee))

Tobias: ((awesome.))

Tobias: ((aw man. 9 ><))

Healer_Lina: ((With sinews like knotted cords!))

Markas_Tarmikos: ((The tiger does knot mean harm. It just got roped into this, honest!))

DM_Hallu: You do not hit the tiger.

DM_Hallu: The tiger, however, lets go of you and runs away, tail between its legs, nursing its one remaining hit point.

Lunos: ((so close!))

DM_Hallu: (well, you can give chase if you WANT...)

Akavi: ((Can the centipede go after it?))

Markas_Tarmikos: ((Well, it's gone and I'm not dead yet.))

Lunos: (i'll abbrev that phrase as pot since I forsee myself using it so much)

DM_Hallu: ((Sure, the centipede can go after it.))

Lunos: (can I footbow at it?)

DM_Hallu: ((If you like.))

Akavi: ((Well, it's mindless, so it probably does regardless of what we think.))

Akavi: The centipede skitters after it, biting quickly. ((Attack 14)) Glru whistles sharply "It goes, fight is over!"

Lunos: ((hmmm, pondering if we should or not....))

Lunos: �Stop it! We need to examine it!�

DM_Hallu: Roll damage.

Akavi shrugs.

Glru: "carcass attracts other animals, wounded angry hunter keeps them away"

Akavi: ((6))

DM_Hallu: You hear a pitiful tigery miewl as the tiger falls to the ground and is chewed on by the ebil centipede.

Tobias: ((awwww))

Lunos runs out to the tiger and brushes the centipede away, attempting to prevent it from killing the beast.

Markas_Tarmikos: ((XD how's Markas the Almost-A-Carcass doing?))

DM_Hallu: Uhh... Lunos, how do you plan to brush the centiipede away?

Lunos: (queue hellen keller jokes)

DM_Hallu: It is at least as big as you are.

Markas_Tarmikos: ((It's a giant centipede))

Glru heads for the carcass and pushes it over, checking the belly.

Akavi: ((Lunos, the centipede is Large sized))

DM_Hallu: Glru, there are no valuables in the tiger's belly.

Akavi waves a hand carelessly and the centipede discorporates back to the lower planes.

Ika_Yorri spins her wands triumphantly.

Markas_Tarmikos: ((...Well it's dead now. XD))

Lunos: (gently shooing it away, it should listen to me somewhat as an ally of the person who summoned it)

DM_Hallu: ((nope, it's mindless))

Glru is checking to make sure it's not a mother... swollen nipples equals starving cubs around nearby.

DM_Hallu: Oh. It does not have swollen nipples.

Lunos: ((we so went there))

Tobias sheaths his sword.

Akavi: ((It's a fiendish creature born of pain and misery, seeking only to injure and destroy anything Akavi doesn't care about- that is to say, anything except Akavi))

Glru: ((actually it's at 0, so technically it's just mostly dead))

Markas_Tarmikos: ((XD it would've been alive had Glru not decided to search it's innards... wouldn't it?))

DM_Hallu: (no, it's at -5)

DM_Hallu: (had 1, was damaged for 6)

Healer_Lina dashes forward and lays a Cure Minor on it to stabilize.

Lunos begins examining the creature thoroughly.

DM_Hallu: Hmm, how many hit points?

Markas_Tarmikos: ((Nevertheless, Glru shouldn't tinker with animals like he does with machines.))

Akavi walks over to the tiger nonchalantly.

Glru does not cut it open, glru checked to see if it was a mommy... he doesn't check the stomach; he might end up with another smart-mouthed squirel.

Markas_Tarmikos: ((am I awake yet, or still stunned and blinded?))

DM_Hallu: You are still stunned and blinded.

Markas_Tarmikos: ((XD))

Lunos: ((and stay there!))

Tobias: ((evidently lina cares more for the tiger that just attacked us than her own teammates XD))

Markas_Tarmikos: ((Aww, I didn't do anything bad. Well... I didn't do anything, period.))

Markas_Tarmikos: ((That's cause I didn't have a chance though. :3))

Glru considers slitting the stomach open and tucking Markas inside, just to hear him scream when he un-stuns... he doesn't, however.

Markas_Tarmikos: ((Had I been given the opportunity, I would have... bluffed it and dove for cover with my epic +20 bonus to hide.))

DM_Hallu: ((Lina, roll how many hit points you healed the tiger for?))

Akavi claps his hands brusquely and looks bored and impatient, as is his fashion.. �So, continuing on?�

Glru: ((I am admiring that nifty blue text...))

Markas_Tarmikos twitches slightly.

Markas_Tarmikos: ((Well I have to do something to pass time. :D))

Tobias looks a bit sore, but points to Markas. "I think he needs healing before we go anywhere."

Healer_Lina: ((Er.... 6, unless I can voluntarily lower that))

DM_Hallu: Markas becomes un-blinded and un-stunned about now.

DM_Hallu: The tiger wakes up, blinks its eyes, and attempts to slink away from the nasty dom humanoids.

Markas_Tarmikos stands up and staggers to his feet. "Geez, *that* was an entertaining light show."

Lunos was still planning on examining it...

Tobias: "... Or not. How you feelin', Markas?"

Markas_Tarmikos: "Least I didn't get bored while I was out cold."

Markas_Tarmikos: "I'm alright. Couple scratches, could be better, but I'm alive." Akavi shoots Lina a look that could wither plants, but lets the tiger go.

Markas_Tarmikos: "And my right ear's ringing a little bit too..."

Lunos: "Sorry about that, my error...."

Markas_Tarmikos: "It's cool. With all this light and music, you lot could make a music band."

Glru picks up Markas and sets him on his feet "It is fluffy tail, looks like cat toy, not tiger's fault." he then retrieved his saddlebags and shoulderrabbit, and waits for Lina to finish fixing Tobias.

Glru: "And if we had massagers, we would make rubber band"

Markas_Tarmikos: ((That one just about broke my brain. XD))

Tobias: ((I don't get it))

DM_Hallu: That looks like a good place to wrap up...

Lunos: ((I'm not sure if that joke is appropriate.... for the timeframe =p))

Markas_Tarmikos: ((Massagers. They massage (basically complicated rubbing), thus they are "Rubbers". Hence, rubber band. :D))

Markas_Tarmikos: ((Yay. X3))

Tobias: ((ah, alright then ^^; ))

Akavi: ((OK, shall we call it a week?))

DM_Hallu: Yeah.

Glru shouts after the tiger "You're a week!"

Lunos: ((and we're months!)
