Techubi has connected.

Techubi:Where's the overworld map?

Drayco:No idea...

VAE:it isn't

VAE:we don't need it

VAE:that was geography induction for ya folks

VAE:similar to the akellon map liatai had...

Saphroneth has connected.

Techubi:So, which map's Oriss, or wherever Voltarus and Firo are going to be Warp-aci'd too?

VAE:<font color="#000000">hmm, that'll be handled in the usual &quot;make-believe describey way&quot;

Saphroneth:<font color="#805A24">Unfortunately for me, the only thing I found that could match my character (bat) is basically the Fae Hunter. He's not got any NON chiropteran features.

Techubi:<font color="#009999">Can I at least have some kind of feline-looking token to impersonate with?

VAE:<font color="#000000">yeah...

VAE:<font color="#000000">wait, do you have liatai's token pack/

Drayco:<font color="#660099">I do.

Saphroneth:<font color="#805A24">I just got it.

VAE:<font color="#000000">i meant techcubi

Saphroneth:<font color="#805A24">Guessed.

VAE:<font color="#000000">just that so he can actually choose his own

Techubi:<font color="#009999">It was on my computer, before my previous harddrive got ruined via dust.

VAE:<font color="#000000">aw crap

VAE:<font color="#000000">oh well, we arent

Saphroneth:<font color="#805A24">I'll shove one on and turn it over?

VAE:<font color="#000000">rushing so ,... the link to all packages was http://www.srcf.ucam.org/~dm510/dndmfa/

VAE:<font color="#000000">and saph, do indeed shovel a token where you need it

VAE:<font color="#000000">i.e. somewhere expedient

Tokens dropped onto map 'dnd_maps_0002'VAE:<font color="#000000">now, just where did you appear?

Drayco:<font color="#660099">Map 2.

Saphroneth:<font color="#805A24">I see what I think is map 2 as well.

VAE:<font color="#000000">we needin' map 1... but whatever

VAE:<font color="#000000">i'll teleport ya

VAE:<font color="#000000">and this should slap all of you where i need ya

VAE:<font color="#000000">hmm, i need my tried-and-true GM token as well

Saphroneth:<font color="#805A24">I see the Big Guy to my Small Guy.

VAE:<font color="#000000">you do indeed

Tokens dropped onto map 'dnd_maps_0001'T3h GM:<font color="#000000">Now, this be better

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">So, where is this 'nearby place' that we're going to be at?

VAE:<font color="#000000">nowhere yet... you should be still in Port Oriss, in need of a briefing, which i'll soon get to

VAE:<font color="#000000">:3

Drayco:<font color="#660099">How many people be missing?

VAE:<font color="#000000">Liatai

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">*cough* *cough*

Saphroneth:<font color="#805A24">Coughing silhouettes! The worst kind... yes, the worst kind of all...

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">So, Voltarus. you are currently located in the house of the Port Oriss Council of the State, namely, in the office of Councillor Stein, yet another cubi. Talk about nepotism and protection....

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">I know what Nepotism is, but, clarify exactly what you're talking about.

VAE:<font color="#000000">pfft

Karis:<font color="#805A24">Damn creatures... well, winged ones. I mean, not normally winged... oh, never mind.

Councillor Stein:<font color="#000000">Hmm, someone doesn't llisten too clearly. Voltarus.. i need you to follow a particular gryphon messenger and act as his protection. Nothing exceptionally difficult - it's mainly for the appearance

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">(That wasn't in character, but, whatever.)

Councillor Stein:<font color="#000000">We need the two of you to deliver two letters, one to the chairman of Kotva inc. and one to a particular... employee of ours

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">&quot;What does this employee look like, exactly?&quot;

Councillor Stein:<font color="#000000">Oh, she's a cat of sorts.. i think she's housed at the Red Star Inn on Kramer's street 139 in Veldun

Saphroneth:<font color="#805A24">Well, if she's not then things get interesting fast.

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">&quot;Any noticeable features?&quot;

Councillor Stein:<font color="#000000">Now, really, the most difficult part of it, as planned, is a) not to swap the letters, b) not ..you know, talk too much of the wrong thing *smiles*

Councillor Stein:<font color="#000000">Now, when the gryphon arrives *looks at pocket watch* I'll send you across by waro-aci, somewhere on the outskirts.. you'll get a map, too

Councillor Stein:<font color="#000000">hmm, any questions?

Drayco:<font color="#660099">I will be AFK. it something breaks, it wasn't me.

Drayco:<font color="#660099">*if

VAE:<font color="#000000">ehhe, unless i am the one who does the breaking

VAE:<font color="#000000">then it might as well *be* you

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">He sighs. &quot;Well, not to restate the obvious, but, WHAT DOES SHE LOOK LIKE?&quot;

Councillor Stein:<font color="#000000">Oh, that.

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">&quot;Yeah, that.&quot;

Councillor Stein:<font color="#000000">I forgot you can't quite read people yet... erk, these young ones

Councillor Stein:<font color="#000000">Well, blonde hair and yellowish fur... dress varies... She's called Zora.

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">&quot;Any other noticeable physical traits?&quot;

Councillor Stein:<font color="#000000">Yes, two of them... *stoneface*

Councillor Stein:<font color="#000000">Otherwise, not

Councillor Stein:<font color="#000000">*ruffles through his table*

Councillor Stein:<font color="#000000">This should just about do it.

Councillor Stein:<font color="#000000">Any questions *now* ?

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">He sighs. &quot;You know what, I'm done. I'll just head to wherever this gryphon is, now.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">and yeah, best i could find looking semi-official like

Councillor Stein:<font color="#000000">Well enough... your family has vouched for you as a capable individual.. i hope they weren't biased

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">In the meantime ( so that rest of folks don't get entirely bored)

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">At the office.. well, a converted appartment ( converted in the means of putting in sheet metal doors and some security wards) of Gorka Securitas, owned by Igor Gorka

Karis:<font color="#805A24">Wow, a six foot photograph. Kinda unusual, being honest about it.

VAE:<font color="#000000">lawl

Karis:<font color="#805A24">It's almost as big as me...

Igor Gorka:<font color="#000000">That's because it's a ppster, dummy

Igor Gorka:<font color="#000000">*poster

Karis:<font color="#805A24">Why would someone just leave a poster lying in the street? The implications are mind-boggling.

Karis:<font color="#805A24">Especially as it just vanished.

Igor Gorka:<font color="#000000">I feel it might have something to do with Clan Daryil

Igor Gorka:<font color="#000000">Wasn't the one depicted a silver fox perchance?

Karis:<font color="#805A24">No, actually. But if it's involved with those lunatics? Okay, staying away from that one.

Igor Gorka:<font color="#000000">Smart choice.

Karis:<font color="#805A24">They're all lunatic, liar or lord. Sometimes two or more at once.

Igor Gorka:<font color="#000000">Hmm, speaking about liars..

Igor Gorka:<font color="#000000">While you were on the last assignment ... there's another client.

Karis:<font color="#805A24">Another? Right. I assume this means another... arrangement.

Igor Gorka:<font color="#000000">Yeah, it can be called that way

Karis:<font color="#805A24">The question is, what's being arranged? Item rearrangement from one person to another? Or perhaps making sure that a weapon's in the right place, where another person might not want it to go.

Igor Gorka:<font color="#000000">Heh... it's of the first sort... boosting cash flow, you know

Karis:<font color="#805A24">I see. Are there going to be little problems with this, I suppose what I'm saying is, is it a voluntary or involuntary transfer of ownership?

Igor Gorka:<font color="#000000">specifically, about 10k in silver for booze that has shown to have a high affinity to someone's coffer

Igor Gorka:<font color="#000000">Specifically, an innkeeper near the miner's quarters... Franta Vrchni ... you probably know him

Igor Gorka:<font color="#000000">The idea is to.. make it voluntary

Karis:<font color="#805A24">Ah. So this is a case of... persuading him that it's in his best interests, then.

Igor Gorka:<font color="#000000">Now, he does have some pretty nasty bouncers, but nothing we can't handle

Igor Gorka:<font color="#000000">yes, precisely. A friendly talk in polite company, as i have said.

Karis:<font color="#805A24">I think we all understand one another. Do you want me doing the explaining, visible as persuasion, or invisible as a surprise?

Igor Gorka:<font color="#000000">Hmm, your choice, really

Igor Gorka:<font color="#000000">If you are going for the visible... Michail has rather high opacity...

Michail:<font color="#000000">Sure so, boss.

Karis:<font color="#805A24">I'd recommend Michail is the visible persuasion, yourself explaining all this - that is, if I understand right and you're coming with us - and myself being, shall we say, out of sight out of mind.

Igor Gorka:<font color="#000000">Hmm, sadly, i have some of the... other sort of business in mind for today.

Karis:<font color="#805A24">Understood. I suppose I'll do the talking, then.

Igor Gorka:<font color="#000000">But.. i believe you two should be enough to deal with it.

Igor Gorka:<font color="#000000">*nods*

Igor Gorka:<font color="#000000">Take any stuff you need... after what we got for the ... inhumation in Gorod Kur, we can afford it

Igor Gorka:<font color="#000000">*looks at the papers on his desk*

Karis:<font color="#805A24">Michail, keep your eyes open when we're there in case any of his friends are playing games. I'll take... some of the rope as normal, a shortspear and my usual otherwise.

Techubi:<font color="#009999">Shouldn't Lia be back by now?

Michail:<font color="#000000">*cough* Allright... Am takin' the usual *moves his axe*

VAE:<font color="#000000">i'd have hoped so

Karis:<font color="#805A24">Any armour, I can't always see what you're wearing. Damn light sensitivity...

Michail:<font color="#000000">Like i can get any to *cough* fit besides the leather jacket

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">Well, leather jacket... what he wears is more like half a cow folded twice.

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">It's a small wonder he can actually bend his joints in it

Karis:<font color="#805A24">I get your point. Well, we better be moving. People are usually easier to... persuade... earlier in the day.

Karis:<font color="#805A24">It's more private, as well.

Michail:<font color="#000000">Indeed.. less folk drinkin', too

Karis:<font color="#805A24">My very thoughts.

Saphroneth:<font color="#805A24">Departing, and heading over to the inn in question. I assume it's the building shown here, then?

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">And, as chance would have it, both of you are walking... to Red Star Inn, Kramer's street 139

VAE:<font color="#000000">:4

Saphroneth:<font color="#805A24">You may have meant 3 there.

VAE:<font color="#000000">in some fonts, this looks like a cat licking

VAE:<font color="#000000">this one, not quite

Saphroneth:<font color="#805A24">Fair enough. Where's the entrance, for placing and things?

VAE:<font color="#000000">i'll drag you two

VAE:<font color="#000000">sadly, fog of war didn't work quite as well as i'd want

VAE:<font color="#000000">since background which the drawn picture is stays the same

VAE:<font color="#000000">luckly, not like you can interpret much of the map without me stating

VAE:<font color="#000000">:D

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">Now, you walk to an area on the edge of the city, near the collective habitations of the miners

Karis:<font color="#805A24">&quot;We go in when I say we do. Stay behind me, if violence breaks out, break whoever's after our hides. Understood?&quot;

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">You notice it's the right place by a red star nailed to the wall, and &quot;Ye Red Star Ynne&quot; painted with calcium (?) on the brick wall near the door. The door has a Closed sign at the moment.

Michail:<font color="#000000">*kchrr* As you say!

Techubi:<font color="#009999">So, I have to wait for Lia before I can do anything else?

VAE:<font color="#000000">kinda.. i need you two to talk to some people

Karis:<font color="#805A24">&quot;Closed? That won't do. Keep an eye on the place, see if anyone moves inside.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">see, what was before happened a little earlier

Saphroneth:<font color="#805A24">I can belay next action until everyone's ready.

VAE:<font color="#000000">it's merely the fact i can't do two things at once

VAE:<font color="#000000">As for Saph, all is OK... i'll pause it at the needed moment, and deal with them

VAE:<font color="#000000">hopefully, liatai should be back by then.

Techubi:<font color="#009999">She's back.

Techubi:<font color="#009999">I told her the server name and pass, already.

<font color="#0000ff">Liatai has connected.

</i>Techubi:<font color="#009999">Hey, Lia.

Saphroneth:<font color="#805A24">Hi.


 * Liatai skids in!

Liatai:<font color="#000000">What'd I miss am I super late what's going on what o.o

VAE:<font color="#000000">heya

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Traffic was bad I'm sorry D:

VAE:<font color="#000000">you missed a briefing of a particular cubi

Saphroneth:<font color="#805A24">Owing to a lack of bat shaped things, the goofy looking Fae hunter is in fact a streetwise chiropteran ready to do a little extortion.

VAE:<font color="#000000">no need to be sorry

Liatai:<font color="#000000">What map are we on?

VAE:<font color="#000000">heh... i'll need to draw him a token over the weekend

VAE:<font color="#000000">map 1

VAE:<font color="#000000">the others might not be even needed :P

VAE:<font color="#000000">wait.. can you come to trillian?

VAE:<font color="#000000">i can post you there a log of what happened so far

VAE:<font color="#000000">wait, i need to come ,too

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Working on it. I literally booted up my computer, then MapTool, then Firefox. ^^;

VAE:<font color="#000000">auch

Liatai:<font color="#000000">OK is there anywhere I can put a token? ^^;

Techubi:<font color="#009999">So, how exactly did your dog unplug your computer? Did it use it's teeth? XD

VAE:<font color="#000000">i'll need to do it by parts

Saphroneth:<font color="#805A24">Anywhere on the grass on map 1.

Saphroneth:<font color="#805A24">It's basically blank space unless it's on the paper map bit.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">I have a laptop, it was sitting on the bed, it has power problems and needs to stay plugged in. Dog likes to use my bed as a vantage point for staring out the window.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Dog stepped on power cord.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Power cord unplugged.

Drayco:<font color="#660099">Ouch...

Tokens dropped onto map 'dnd_maps_0001'VAE:<font color="#000000">heh, lia!

VAE:<font color="#000000">the same happened to me earlier today -except i kicked the power off myself

VAE:<font color="#000000">oh, and where be liatai's token?

Firo:<font color="#000000">Here it be!

VAE:<font color="#000000">mind if i shift it so i have you both where needed?

Firo:<font color="#000000">Sure.

Techubi:<font color="#009999">Knock yourself out.

Saphroneth:<font color="#805A24">*WHUD* thump.

VAE:<font color="#000000">who should knock whom out?

Saphroneth:<font color="#805A24">I knocked myself out. I thought that was the point.

Techubi:<font color="#009999">You KNOW what I meant...

Saphroneth:<font color="#805A24">(It's actually an idiom meaning &quot;go ahead, I don't mind&quot;)

VAE:<font color="#000000">ah

Liatai:<font color="#000000">So, where should my gryphon be?

Saphroneth:<font color="#805A24">As VAE is not in fact from a primary English culture, idiom requires translation on occasion.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Or should I say, where should my gryphon B be? :B

Saphroneth:<font color="#805A24">Gryphon CEEEEE!

VAE:<font color="#000000">lemme have ya all up close

Tokens dropped onto map 'dnd_maps_0001'VAE:<font color="#000000">should do it

Gryphon Ceee:<font color="#805A24">Chirp!

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">Anyways, the gryphon finally arrives.

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">&quot;...You're kidding me.&quot;

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">&quot;A kid.&quot;

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">&quot;They saddled me with a freaking kid...&quot;

Saphroneth:<font color="#805A24">Wouldn't that be goats? :P

Councillor Stein:<font color="#000000">*looks at watch* Quick enough *turns eyes* The hell about the new directive of the governor about seeking &quot;young talents'

Councillor Stein:<font color="#000000">Now 300 years ago ,this wouldn't have... er, where was i?

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">&quot;Isn't THIS talent alittle too young...?&quot;

Councillor Stein:<font color="#000000">Well, someone's young and someone's a talent, or soemthing like that.. anyways

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;I'm old enough to be doing my job!&quot; the little blue gryphon chirps indignantly, puffing up his ruff.

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">&quot;Suuuuuureeeeeeee, you are, pipsqueak...&quot;

Councillor Stein:<font color="#000000">Now, as i have explained already, you have to deliver two messages - one to the Kotva inc. chair, and second to a worker of ours.. he knows how to find her.

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;Chii!&quot; The little gryphon huffs.

Councillor Stein:<font color="#000000">Any questions?

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">&quot;Am I going to be carrying all the weight in this little duo?&quot;

Councillor Stein:<font color="#000000">Hmm... you should somehow manage it together.

Saphroneth:<font color="#805A24">Hmm... any questions... How the universe began? What the future holds? Why do fools fall in love?... (basically most of the text of &quot;to know the unknown&quot;

Councillor Stein:<font color="#000000">Anyways, here be the letters *gives you two envelopes, both sealed*

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;Suuuure, go ahead.&quot; The little gryphon rolls his eyes a little, not calling any additional attention to his pack saddle. He takes the letters and stores them in a watertight case.

Councillor Stein:<font color="#000000">Try not to drop them... also.. the universe began with a fae experiment in yet another one. The future holds water, and fools fall in love because they have nothing better to do.

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;You don't need to worry about that, sir!&quot; :3

Councillor Stein:<font color="#000000">Fine.. now, *finger noise* Vanya!

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">&quot;Well, excuse me if I don't see how a gryphon kid is going to contribute much to this assignment this.&quot;

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;My name's Firo, not 'gryphon kid!'&quot;

Councillor Stein:<font color="#000000">I don't need to tell you this, but since you are the son of a council candidate...

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">&quot;Well, I'm going to call you Gryphon kid all I want, so there.&quot;

Councillor Stein:<font color="#000000">The idea is that important messages are sent with a sufficient escort.

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;Chrrrrrr.&quot; The little gryphon clicks his beak and flicks his tail, the gryphon equivalent of sticking out his tongue.

Councillor Stein:<font color="#000000">Now, for this one ,you two classify as &quot;sufficient&quot;

Councillor Stein:<font color="#000000">Vanya, send them off! Oh, and here's the ma-

Councillor Stein:<font color="#000000">*gives you two a map of Veldun*

Saphroneth:<font color="#805A24">I'm reminded of the first mission in the Naruto series. It was escorting a drunk back to his village.

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">He grabs it.

Saphroneth:<font color="#805A24">There was more to it, but that came later.

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hey!&quot;

Vanya:<font color="#000000">The warp-aci flies around the duo.. and suddenly, the office is no more

VAE:<font color="#000000">Saph.. both of these have wisdom as dump stat

Saphroneth:<font color="#805A24">Does Vanya have gloomy trousers?

VAE:<font color="#000000">pfft!

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Technically, Con is Firo's dump stat. &gt;.&gt;

VAE:<font color="#000000">one think i miss with Akellon and CWM crowd is that none have read Discworld

Saphroneth:<font color="#805A24">Oh man. The most observant character in the game is the dumb muscle I have as part of my mafia team.

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">XD

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">Instead you appear in what might be called an industrial park... essentially a part of Veldun where there's even more smog than usual.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Why, what's his Wis? XD

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">Roll Fort saves, both of you.

Firo:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+1 = 12 + 1 = 13&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">Fort: &#171; &#160;1d20 + 1 = 19 + 1 = 20&#160; <font color="#009999">&#187;

Saphroneth:<font color="#805A24">Mine is 7, I think Michail has about 15? VAE controls him as a NPC, though.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Firo's is 11... wow. XD

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">You both avoid a coughing fit, although the gryphon's eyes tear a little.

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">He can't help but chuckle alittle at the gryphon's watery eyes.

Michail:<font color="#000000">*cough* Hey, i ain't dumb muscle... I have Int of 11, or so the boss said!

Karis:<font color="#805A24">&quot;Figure of speech. Means I tell you what to hit.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">Michail has a charisma of 7 due to silicosis - he was a miner and now just spits and coughs everywhere

Michail:<font color="#000000">K'


 * Firo wipes at his eyes with a paw and glares, flicking his tail. Chii! &gt;:[

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">Anyways.. if anything, you should be near Kotva ... if any of you knows ... actually, do roll knowledge&#171; &#160;local = Invalid expression: local.&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Saphroneth:<font color="#805A24">Karis' scores are a little improbable. Best scores are Dex, Cha, Int, Con in that order.

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">Can we do an int check instead?

Saphroneth:<font color="#805A24">That's an untrained Knowledge, so yes.

VAE:<font color="#000000">yes

Karis:<font color="#805A24">&#171; &#160;1d20+2 = 16 + 2 = 18&#160; <font color="#805A24">&#187;

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">Int check: &#171; &#160;1d20 + 3 = 2 + 3 = 5&#160; <font color="#009999">&#187;

Firo:<font color="#000000">Int &#171; &#160;1d20+2 = 6 + 2 = 8&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">Ouch.. oh well, you both deduce that by the name, it probably has something to do with shipbuilding.

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">(sorry for slavic-themed names.. kotva means anchor in ours)

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">He sighs. &quot;Alright, let's get this little assignment over with.&quot;

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">&quot;Or, at least this part, anyway.&quot;

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;Right, now let's go find the chair. You coming, four-wings?&quot;

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">He walks in.

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">Two wings.

Firo:<font color="#000000">Drat. Need a new nickname. :B

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">Fine.. presumably you have looked at the map and found the building :P

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">Level one cubi aren't technically actually Cubi, yet.

Firo:<font color="#000000">His token lies!

Firo:<font color="#000000">:P

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">You arrive in fron t of the facrtory's gate - there's a guard in a booth sitting there

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hello!&quot;

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">&quot;Let me handle this.&quot;

Doorman:<font color="#000000">Whadaya want!

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">&quot;Hello.&quot;

Karis:<font color="#805A24">Hey, fourth wall! Your mother was a pillar!

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">&quot;We're here to deliver a letter.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">ahahahaha

Doorman:<font color="#000000">Letter? Who to?

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;That's what I was gonna say!&quot;

Doorman:<font color="#000000">*squints*

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;The chairman, mister.&quot;


 * Firo displays his messenger's badge.

Doorman:<font color="#000000">Hmm, there's the mailbox, kiddo!

Doorman:<font color="#000000">You must be new around here!

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">Oh, roll wisdom, you two

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">&quot;So, the chairman ISN'T going to want this hand deliver-?&quot;

Firo:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20 = 4&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Firo:<font color="#000000">BAH. XD

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">Wis: &#171; &#160;1d20 - 3 = 2 - 3 = -1&#160; <font color="#009999">&#187;

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">XD

VAE:<font color="#000000">pfft

Saphroneth:<font color="#805A24">Gravity points DOWN, Voltarus.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">I miss my druid already. XD

Saphroneth:<font color="#805A24">Also the Monk Gryphon you used to have?

VAE:<font color="#000000">actually, sorry

VAE:<font color="#000000">what's yer Int modifier?

Liatai:<font color="#000000">And the monk, and the cleric 'cubi... XD

Liatai:<font color="#000000">+2 for Firo.

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">+3

VAE:<font color="#000000">wondering which stat would have been better

VAE:<font color="#000000">heh, he came with it IC so..

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">You come to the conclusion the letter *might* actually warrant hand delivery, Firo

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">Voltarus on the other hand became convinced it's ok just to drop it off

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">Wait, wasn't Voltarus the one who mentioned it IC?

Doorman:<font color="#000000">So? whatcha' waitin' for?

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;It's kinda sensitive. Is the chairman in? It'd be better to just hand it to him.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">heh, he was... but he also got a -1

Saphroneth:<font color="#805A24">He unconvinced himself.

VAE:<font color="#000000">yeah.. i was just typing what to do when you mentioned it

VAE:<font color="#000000">it's one of *those* situations

Doorman:<font color="#000000">sensitive. y'say?

Doorman:<font color="#000000">I'll call in, then

Doorman:<font color="#000000">Can you show it 'ere for a moment?

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;Thank you!&quot; The gryphon gives a charming, beaky smile. He opens the letter case and holds out the letter, not letting it out of his paws.

Doorman:<font color="#000000">*examines the letter* Hmm, seems to be from bloody Oriss... Lemme see *he grabs a strange-looking device with a horn and a cable*


 * Firo replaces the letter in its case as soon as it's done being examined.

Doorman:<font color="#000000">Secretariat? Yeah, some mail.. they want to hand it by.. Capital, where else? ... 'K, send someone over.

Doorman:<font color="#000000">Someone will hold it here... let's go

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">He opens the gate and leads you in.. you notice a surprisingly similar looking guy on his way to the gate-post. pass the halls and walk towards the administration building, which looks rather less sooty than other ones.

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;Thank you very much, mister.&quot;

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">He follows them.

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">'ere it is. I'll wait outside, just in case.


 * Firo flicks his tail in a pleased way and gives a sidelong glance to Voltarus. See, that's how a real messenger does it. =3=

VAE:<font color="#000000">just for fun, spot checks.

Firo:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+6 = 17 + 6 = 23&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">Spot: &#171; &#160;1d20 - 3 = 6 - 3 = 3&#160; <font color="#009999">&#187;

Saphroneth:<font color="#805A24">Alertness feat on Firo, then?

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">Voltarus, you notice the guard is standing there.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Nope. Gryphon B, 2 ranks in Spot, bright light. :3

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">Firo notices his coat pocket has a flat bottle, and his trousers hide a gun

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">Apparently, the factory takes security seriously

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">The door is padded, it looks like Kallisburg leather.

VAE:<font color="#000000">so. anyone knocks, or what?

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;Okay! Thanks. You coming?&quot; the gryphon says to Voltarus, still looking rather proud of himself.


 * Firo knocks.

Secretary:<font color="#000000">Moment! The director will see you ASAP!

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">He continues following, muttering something under his breath.

Firo:<font color="#000000">Listen check on that mutter. &#171; &#160;1d20+2 = 14 + 2 = 16&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">Eh, whatever.

Saphroneth:<font color="#805A24">You crazy Gryphon and your ranks in Wis skills and your average Wis...

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">&quot;Stupid gryphon...Can't believe I have to be with...I hate this...&quot;

Alexei Krupp:<font color="#000000">The door opens, and a figure of a rather skinny ram demon with reading glasses on his nose, smoking a cigarette

Alexei Krupp:<font color="#000000">appears.

Alexei Krupp:<font color="#000000">&quot;Greetings!&quot;

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hello, sir! Are you the chairman?&quot;

Alexei Krupp:<font color="#000000">Delegation, i see! Why yes!

Alexei Krupp:<font color="#000000">*laughs* You aren't from around here, am i right?

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">&quot;We're from Oriss.&quot;

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;No, sir.&quot; The gryphon folds his ears and gives a sheepish grin.

Alexei Krupp:<font color="#000000">So, so, *pulls in* what's so important that it couldn't be handled by regular mail?

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">&quot;Well...They sent me, a possibly soon to be Cubi warlock, and, a gryphon mailkid, so, must be pretty important.&quot;

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;Don't know, was instructed not to look.&quot; The gryphon follows, taking the letter out of its case.

Alexei Krupp:<font color="#000000">A &quot;possibly soon to be..&quot; laughs a bit.

Alexei Krupp:<font color="#000000">*takes the envelope*

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">&quot;What's so funny...?&quot;


 * Firo ruffles. Not a kid! &gt;:|

Alexei Krupp:<font color="#000000">As he presses his, hoof on the seal, it disintegrates. He drags out the letter.


 * Firo sits and curls his tail around his feet, waiting patiently to see if a reply message will need sending. I'm a good messenger, I am! :3

Alexei Krupp:<font color="#000000">Hmm... hmm.. 35 percent? Are they fuc... Erm, excuse me.

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">&quot;Something wrong?&quot;

Alexei Krupp:<font color="#000000">He takes out a piece of paper, and scrawls on it.

Alexei Krupp:<font color="#000000">Then he hands it to the gryphon. It reads &quot;Received. Will carry our as circumstances permit. Krupp&quot;

Alexei Krupp:<font color="#000000">Wrong? Someone's head


 * Firo accepts it and puts it in the case.

Alexei Krupp:<font color="#000000">I'd like them to meet the quotas they set with *this*

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">&quot;Huh. Sounds like someone on the Oriss council messed up.&quot;

Alexei Krupp:<font color="#000000">I have requested new machines.. for what, 10 years now?

Alexei Krupp:<font color="#000000">Someone thinks we're pulling parts from under our tails, that's what!

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">&quot;Huh...Well, we better be going, now.&quot;

Alexei Krupp:<font color="#000000">Oh well, we'll have to do &quot;somehow&quot;

Alexei Krupp:<font color="#000000">Happy to meet you. Firo and &quot;possibly soon to be&quot;

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">&quot;It's Voltarus.&quot;

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;Mm. Thank you for your time, sir!&quot; The gryphon gives a little bow, then looks up. &quot;... How'd you know my name, mister?&quot;

Alexei Krupp:<font color="#000000">L*aughs* Voltarus, then

Alexei Krupp:<font color="#000000">Heh.. not only cubi can mindread, y'know?

Alexei Krupp:<font color="#000000">Useful trick, useful.


 * Firo 's eyes widen. &quot;Woooow.&quot;

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">He starts heading for the door.

Alexei Krupp:<font color="#000000">The other guy, he was thinking about you all the time.

Alexei Krupp:<font color="#000000">*laughs, door closes*


 * Firo trots back out, following Voltarus and probably the guard, too.

Doorman:<font color="#000000">The guard greets you out.

VAE:<font color="#000000">listen checks, folks!

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;You got a fancy name, Vole.&quot; &#171; &#160;1d20+2 = 19 + 2 = 21&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; Listen!

Doorman:<font color="#000000">Firo hears mutter: Who'd have said.. they really were mailmen?

Doorman:<font color="#000000">Guess i watch KCIS too much.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">x3

VAE:<font color="#000000">x3

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">He grumbles. &quot;Stupid damn annoying kid...Ah, well, he's not THAT bad for a kid.&quot;

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">Now, while the two of you seek the particular inn... some other folks already have business there.

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">As it was said, there's a Closed sign on the door.

Karis:<font color="#805A24">&quot;You know, Michail... sometimes I think that time is elastic, responding only to what happens elsewhere so that events all fit together...&quot;

Karis:<font color="#805A24">&quot;But then, that happens when I'm on stakeout.&quot;

Michail:<font color="#000000">Elastic? I s'ppose *cough* .. i hope it doesnt' break like those sweatpants i got my sister for birthday

Michail:<font color="#000000">They said &quot;elastic&quot; too..

Karis:<font color="#805A24">&quot;Okay, closed just won't do. Where are the manners these days? Michail, would you be so kind as to knock on the door... just to see that people are ready to respond, of course.&quot;

Michail:<font color="#000000">Thought they'd be warm in the mountains

Michail:<font color="#000000">Heh, *kchrr* fine!

Karis:<font color="#805A24">&quot;It was probably the impressive amount of mass involved. I hear that warps time...&quot;

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;Aw, an' you're not bad for a doubting Thomas two-legs, either, Vole.&quot; Firo flicks his tail and clicks his beak again. :P

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">Damnit, he heard that...

</i>Michail:<font color="#000000">*KNOCK* *KNOCK* With the grace of a bulldozer and subtlety of one.

Franta:<font color="#000000">WE'RE CLOSED! CAN'T YA READ?

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">&quot;Wonder how long it'll be until we reach that inn place.&quot;

Karis:<font color="#805A24">&quot;Mister Franta Vrchni! We have important business matters to discuss, and they are of some urgency. I would recommend you open your door, or it will open for you.&quot;

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;You snatched the map from me, you tell me.&quot;

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">&quot;Oh, right...&quot;

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">He looks at the map.

Franta:<font color="#000000">Business, you say? *looks thoughtful* Karel! Go open.

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">The door opens, by the hand of an unpleasant looking feline.

Franta:<font color="#000000">So, what do you want?

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">So, how far away are the warlock and mailkid away from the inn?

Franta:<font color="#000000">Brought some stuff again?

Karis:<font color="#805A24">&quot;Now, see, this business. It's related to your dues. You haven't been keeping up with them. I hope you understand where I'm coming from, and I don't want any unpleasantness here.&quot;

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">I'd say.. maybe about 10 minutes of walk at the moment :3

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">maybe 15

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">That's 150 rounds worth, isn't it?

Saphroneth:<font color="#805A24">Yeah;.

VAE:<font color="#000000">i guess so.. but this isn't round-ed yet

Franta:<font color="#000000">So no stuff.. May you clarify, mister?

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;This city's so sooty.&quot;

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">So, how long until we come onto the scene?

VAE:<font color="#000000">I'll mention it :3

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">&quot;Huh. You're right about that.&quot;

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">&quot;So much damn soot...&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">sorry, but at least now Techcubi sees what's the problem with split group operation

Karis:<font color="#805A24">&quot;I believe it was put to me as being &quot;specifically, about 10k in silver for booze that has shown to have a high affinity to someone's coffer&quot;. I hope that makes it clear.&quot;

Karis:<font color="#805A24">&quot;Michail, if you would come in out of the weather...&quot;

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;M'gonna need a nice long bath before we go deliverin' letters in other places... messengers gotta be clean an' all.&quot;

Michail:<font color="#000000">K' *cough* the cold ain't good for one

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">&quot;Sooner we leave, the better off we are, probably.&quot;

Karel:<font color="#000000">No spit..ting?

Karel:<font color="#000000">The bouncer is a little surprised by the bulk of the bear

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;This your first time deliverin' letters, Vole?&quot; Sorry, Voltarus, the kid's going to keep calling you after a small rodent now. :B

Franta:<font color="#000000">Now. so hunchback Jarda has company?

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">He growls. &quot;You know, if you don't stop calling me that, your feathers are going to be black for reasons other than soot...&quot;

Saphroneth:<font color="#805A24">sorry, Jarda?

Franta:<font color="#000000">Like i owe him anything.. whoever yer boss is should screen his folk better.

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;I'll stop if you stop callin' me kid!&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">Well, the guy who... gave you the job

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">&quot;Anyway, yeah. Although, it's not the first time I've ran errands for a full-grown cubi, before.&quot;

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">&quot;Fine. But, we have to come up with better nicknames.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">i mean, Igor is not doing this out of charity.. more like a share of the goods returned

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;'Kay.&quot; :3

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">&quot;Ummm...How about Fluffers?&quot;

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;Nuh-uh.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">hmm, i need his sheet.. wehere it be

VAE:<font color="#000000">here

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">&quot;Fironi Macaroni?&quot;


 * Firo chuckles. &quot;I like macaroni.&quot;

Karis:<font color="#805A24">&quot;But, of course, if there is a pay dispute that is upheld then the money will be returned. Minus transfer fee, both ways, storage fee, postage, packing, transportation fee and standardized minor coin devaluation.&quot;

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">&quot;Fironi Macaroni it is, then. Or just Fironi, sometimes. Now, it's your turn to come up with a new nickname for me.&quot;

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;Voltarus, ummm.... you got a long an' fancy name. Volty?&quot;

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">&quot;Hang on, let me come up with something...&quot;

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">&quot;Voooooollllll...Taun...Eh, Just go with Volt.&quot;

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;Volt! Okay.&quot;

Franta:<font color="#000000">In other words, dumb thievery... Not like i owe him anything.. &#171; &#160;1d20+4 = 19 + 4 = 23&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; Bluff I paid him for the part of the shipment that actually arrived...

VAE:<font color="#000000">ooh fun.. though, not sure they care :D

Franta:<font color="#000000">You don't wanna have trouble with the militia, do ya?

Franta:<font color="#000000">Or for that matter, with Karel and Milan here

Karis:<font color="#805A24">&quot;Regardless of the details, payment in FULL is expected. Complaints are to be registered after the transaction is finished. After all, we want to be civilized about this.&quot;

Michail:<font color="#000000">'s right! Pay like a civilised.. ferret? and we stay friends.

Karis:<font color="#805A24">&quot;Always good to have friends.&quot;

Michail:<font color="#000000">Sure!

Karis:<font color="#805A24">&quot;After all, people with more friends have fewer enemies.&quot;

Franta:<font color="#000000">Oh, well.. i guess fewer enemies is good enough... lemme get to it...

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;You said you're a war-lock, right, Volt?&quot;

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">&quot;Yeah, I did. Why?&quot;

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">Now, you two should be just about arriving near the place

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;What's that mean? Does it mean you're some kinda peacekeeper?&quot;

Saphroneth:<font color="#805A24">I like that interpretation.

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;Like, you lock away the wars an' stuff?&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">ahahaha!

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">&quot;It basically means I'm a powerful magic guy, who uses will-based powers.&quot;

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">&quot;Wel, maybe not all that powerful YET...&quot;

Franta:<font color="#000000">The barkeeper bows behind the pult and opens a crate.

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">*Well

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;Ohhh.&quot;

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">Spot checks, both of you :3

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">well, only one

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">the other is me :3

Saphroneth:<font color="#805A24">Me then.

Karis:<font color="#805A24">Spot: &#171; &#160;1d20+4 = 1 + 4 = 5&#160; <font color="#805A24">&#187;

Michail:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+3 = 10 + 3 = 13&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Saphroneth:<font color="#805A24">GAH

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;So, how're we gonna find the other person who needs this letter?&quot;

Saphroneth:<font color="#805A24">Examining the Chandelier, clearly.

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">&quot;Didn't the councilor say you would know how to find her?&quot;

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;I thought he said you'd know!&quot;

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">&quot;Well, he said that to me I think, anyway.&quot;

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">He sigh. &quot;Just like for a yellow and blonde cat girl, alright?&quot;

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">*Sighs

Liatai:<font color="#000000">DM, need some clarifcation here, I think. XD

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">Sadly, that wasn't so easy as expected... the guy did pull out a crate of cash,... but also a, probably stolen from a militionary, pistol.

Saphroneth:<font color="#805A24">There was a picture for you to see, I think, Liatai.

Franta:<font color="#000000">Now.. if i threw money at every blockhead someone sends to collect, i might as well close up. Karel! Milan!

Saphroneth:<font color="#805A24">I assume that means initiative time?

VAE:<font color="#000000">The rest of you are pretty near the door,

VAE:<font color="#000000">as in, maybe a turn's away from the inside

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">Should we do a listen check?

Firo:<font color="#000000">Or Spot? I'm a good spotter, I am. :3

VAE:<font color="#000000">Well, since the door is wide-open, that isn't quite needed

VAE:<font color="#000000">Spot would be better.

Saphroneth:<font color="#805A24">If what's about to happen, happens, you won't even need to roll listen from the other side of a WALL.

VAE:<font color="#000000">also note to Saph: if you made the roll you'd have surprise

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">Spot: &#171; &#160;1d20 - 3 = 7 - 3 = 4&#160; <font color="#009999">&#187;

Firo:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+6 = 16 + 6 = 22&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; Spot!

VAE:<font color="#000000">that's about the position

Karis:<font color="#805A24">&#171; &#160;1d20+3 = 7 + 3 = 10&#160; <font color="#805A24">&#187; initiative if needed.

VAE:<font color="#000000">oh, another note

VAE:<font color="#000000">since it 's hillarious anime-style stuff, and since it makes people less bored

VAE:<font color="#000000">I do allow pretty much unlimited babbling out of turn during combat

Liatai:<font color="#000000">VAE, who knows how to find the other person Firo and Voltarus are looking for? Firo, or Voltarus? XD

Saphroneth:<font color="#805A24">Talking Is A Free Action!

VAE:<font color="#000000">Voltarus

VAE:<font color="#000000">Also, Saph got it totally right

Liatai:<font color="#000000">x3

Franta:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+3 = 7 + 3 = 10&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; Init

Milan:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+1 = 1 + 1 = 2&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; Init

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">Do we have to roll for init too?

Saphroneth:<font color="#805A24">There's a hilarious piece of fiction I read where that's an actual law of the universe and drives the straight-man character mad with the implications.

Karel:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20 = 5&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; init

VAE:<font color="#000000">yes you do

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Heh. That song &quot;Everybody was kung-fu fighting...&quot; just popped up on the radio. XD

VAE:<font color="#000000">Oh, one note

Saphroneth:<font color="#805A24">Oh, and it seems I and the Franta chap need to dice off for initiative primacy.

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">Init: &#171; &#160;1d20 + 1 = 20 + 1 = 21&#160; <font color="#009999">&#187;

Firo:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+3 = 18 + 3 = 21&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; initiative!

VAE:<font color="#000000">Milan is indeed slow

Karis:<font color="#805A24">&#171; &#160;1d20+3 = 6 + 3 = 9&#160; <font color="#805A24">&#187; initiative for tie break

VAE:<font color="#000000">He has an Int of 7

Franta:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+3 = 11 + 3 = 14&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Firo:<font color="#000000">Oh crud. XD Who goes first? Voltarus got a 20, but Firo's Dex is higher!

VAE:<font color="#000000">Bad luck

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">Why not reward the twenty? XD

Saphroneth:<font color="#805A24">Firo goes first.

VAE:<font color="#000000">hmm, you know folsk, you can add your own initiative and set it

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Can't set it.

Saphroneth:<font color="#805A24">If it's a draw, it comes down to who has the higher BONUS.

VAE:<font color="#000000">interesting.. i could in Akellon

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">TWENTY, DAMNIT

Liatai:<font color="#000000">The token has to be on the initiative before I can set it.

VAE:<font color="#000000">sorry

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Just click &quot;Add PCs&quot; in the initiative window. :3

VAE:<font color="#000000">my lack of skill talking

VAE:<font color="#000000">OK

VAE:<font color="#000000">i noticed

Saphroneth:<font color="#805A24">Sorry for double post.

Michail:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+1 = 9 + 1 = 10&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Firo has received initiative.Liatai:<font color="#000000">What does Firo see with his check?

Saphroneth:<font color="#805A24">Heh, almost everyone was crowded onto two inits.

VAE:<font color="#000000">what did he roll?

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">A twenty two.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">22, I believe.

VAE:<font color="#000000">also, am playing Tape's &quot;overture&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">fitting as well

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">Also, Volt got a four, so, tell us what he sees, too.

Saphroneth:<font color="#805A24">I just have Two Steps From Hell as a playlist. It's insanely overepic.

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">Well, that's what Volt's total ended up being for the spot roll, anyway.

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">Volt sees the door and smoky air, really. Some movement inside

Saphroneth:<font color="#805A24">A bar fight to the sound of &quot;King's Legion&quot;... bit overdone.

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">&quot;What the hell is going on in there...?&quot;

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">Oh, voltarus also noticed Michail

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">To not see him, it'd have to be a negative

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">&quot;Wow. That's one big guy...&quot;

Firo:<font color="#000000">'Hey, isn't that the place we were looking for... waaaaait...&quot;

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">On the other hand, Firo sees the place's insignia, the barman with a pistol , two folks appearing to be bouncers, and the two guys he's aiming at

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;Uh-oh.&quot;

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">None of the 5 look friendly at all

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">&quot;What? What is it?&quot;

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;Somebody's got a pistol -- an' -- looks like a fight might be gettin' started!&quot;

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">&quot;Aw, crud...&quot;

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">&quot;Then, again...&quot; He smirks. &quot;This might be fun.&quot;


 * Firo bounds forward just a little to get a better look.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">End turn.

Karis:<font color="#805A24">&quot;Ooh, a gunpowder weapon. That's very naughty of you, Franta... not at all what we want to see from a valued client. So, therefore, either you're not serious or you're not a valued client. Choose.&quot;

Michail:<font color="#000000">Indeed.. but then, we don't value non-serious clients either

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">End turn for me.

Franta:<font color="#000000">Odd.. i'd say i don't value brawn hired by arseholes either.

Saphroneth:<font color="#805A24">It's -2 per increment.

VAE:<font color="#000000">that's what i meant by one range

Karis:<font color="#805A24">&quot;And I was so hoping this would be resolved without violence...&quot;

Karis has received initiative.Saphroneth:<font color="#805A24">Either of the goon guys look especially bulky?

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;Whaddo we do, whaddo we do?!&quot;

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">&quot;Simple. If we get close enough, we vaporize the cajones of whoever has the gun.&quot;

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">He sighs. &quot;Aim for his crotch.&quot;

Voltarus has received initiative.Saphroneth:<font color="#805A24">Heh... I now have racial Hide +12. I'm kind of hard to SEE...

Franta:<font color="#000000">Fuck this.. the guy who brought it said it doesn't miss.

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">So, now is it easy to see the guy with the gun?

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">Yeah, it is easy to see him

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">also that he's obviously the barman

Saphroneth:<font color="#805A24">Hazed in smoke as he is, and all...

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">He frowns. &quot;Aw, damnit, he's the barman? Hmmmmmm....Maybe he's a corrupt one.&quot;

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">End turn.

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">He looks at the other guys.

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;Volt, what if that's one of the robbers?!&quot; :O

Michail:<font color="#000000">Because he's not civilised, or so Karis said

Saphroneth:<font color="#805A24">Oh, sorry, gotcha.

Saphroneth:<font color="#805A24">Slap of Doom!

Michail:<font color="#000000">This guy is rather sturdier, however, and still stands.

Saphroneth:<font color="#805A24">Eh. Are they Warriors?

VAE:<font color="#000000">yeah

Saphroneth:<font color="#805A24">Then it's fine for a &quot;beat 'em up&quot; moment.

Saphroneth:<font color="#805A24">Wait, what? A SEVEN hits?

VAE:<font color="#000000">no, but a 20 did

VAE:<font color="#000000">oh right

Saphroneth:<font color="#805A24">Then no double damage.

VAE:<font color="#000000">*facepaws*

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;Okay.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">*uff*

Saphroneth:<font color="#805A24">I kinda wondered where all the minuses came from for AC so a seven hit...

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">&quot;Eh, on second thought...Go for the big guy that the even bigger guy's fighting.&quot;

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">You have witnessed a reality excursion. We apologise

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">You will be distributed Class A amnesiacs shortly.

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;Okay, I can do that, too.&quot;

Saphroneth:<font color="#805A24">The fae again, I take it.

Milan:<font color="#000000">Now, whoever said revenge is a powerful motivator was very right

Milan:<font color="#000000">The blow from the hammer almost knocked the bear out.

Milan:<font color="#000000">Let's hope he doesn't get any dumber.

Saphroneth:<font color="#805A24">Heh... in Exalted, the Pattern Spiders that control reality find certain things awesome, so hence make them succeed more often. You get a bonus for doing something in a &quot;Stunt&quot; way.

VAE:<font color="#000000">haha.. lucky for life that fae are lazier.

Michail:<font color="#000000">Urg? Karis.. you look kinda.. fluffier

Michail:<font color="#000000">*the bear seems slightly confused at Firo's arrival*

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;Sorry, mister!&quot; The gryphon tries to deliver a little nip - &#171; &#160;1d20-1 = 5 - 1 = 4&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; nonlethal, &#171;  &#160;1d6+2 = 1 + 2 = 3&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; damage on a hit!

Liatai:<font color="#000000">End turn. ^^; It was intended on Milan.

VAE:<font color="#000000">heh.. he confused Firo with Karis, to be clear

Voltarus has received initiative.<font color="#0000ff">TMG has connected.

</i>Voltarus:<font color="#009999">He smirks. &quot;This should be close enough for my eldritch blast...&quot;

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">He puts his left palm forward toward Franta and yells, &quot;SUPER CAJONES VAPORIZING BEAM ACTIVATE!&quot;

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">Yes, 60 feet.

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">The motive is profit

TMG:<font color="#000000">I see -no- tokens

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Does he have a token to see with, VAE?

Saphroneth:<font color="#805A24">Make a viewpoint character and shove it in the building, or something.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Whose motive is profit? ^^;

VAE:<font color="#000000">both sides

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">&quot;Shut up, Fironi, from what the bear said, it sounds legitemate enough for me.&quot;

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">Consider my turn ended.

Michail:<font color="#000000">I sound legitimate! The boss says it often, too!

Michail:<font color="#000000">He says, Karis! Take Michail to add some weight to yer words.

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;You shut up!&quot; the kid says back in the way of the childish rebuttal.

Franta:<font color="#000000">And now ye'r pissing me off

VAE:<font color="#000000">also, mind filling in Voltarus's data, TC?

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">&quot;You using the 'p' word doesn't help your case much, Buddy.&quot;

Saphroneth:<font color="#805A24">Let's see... this should be the last turn of his reload, if he's not got the feat.

VAE:<font color="#000000">i dunno his AC, stats , anything

VAE:<font color="#000000">he has got it

VAE:<font color="#000000">He has a dex of 17

VAE:<font color="#000000">if anyone is justified taking the feat it's him

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">...

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">Oh, you were talking to Saph about the feat.

VAE:<font color="#000000">yeah

VAE:<font color="#000000">about Franta

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">Anyway, I'll link you Volt's sheet on the IRC.

VAE:<font color="#000000">you know how to edit tokens?

VAE:<font color="#000000">doubleclick on it, just

Saphroneth:<font color="#805A24">Crap. He's been practicing, then. Gunpowder weapons have a reload time of two standard actions, -1 for feat, unless it's one of the rare ones imported directly from Terra. In that case, it's probably a revolver.

VAE:<font color="#000000">and for hp fill in number/full_number

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">Linked you the sheet.

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">And, hang on.

Saphroneth:<font color="#805A24">This one's more like a napoleonic war pistol.

VAE:<font color="#000000">nah, it's the crappy one.. he's been reloading for last turn

VAE:<font color="#000000">fired on first.

Saphroneth:<font color="#805A24">Yeah, like I say.

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">That better?

VAE:<font color="#000000">a lot

Karis:<font color="#805A24">&quot;This guy owes us some money, and of course he decided to shoot us rather than pay up!&quot;

Saphroneth:<font color="#805A24">A demoralize, I take it?

Franta:<font color="#000000">Volt..tie? w..who's that?

Voltarus has received initiative.Saphroneth:<font color="#805A24">Demoralize Opponent You can also use Intimidate to weaken an opponent&#8217;s resolve in combat. To do so, make an Intimidate check opposed by the target&#8217;s modified level check (see above). If you win, the target becomes shaken for 1 round. A shaken character takes a -2 penalty on attack rolls, ability checks, and saving throws. You can intimidate only an opponent that you threaten in melee combat and that can see you.

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;My friend! You shot him. That wasn't nice.&quot;

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">&quot;The guy you failed to shoot decently, Asshole.&quot;

Franta:<font color="#000000">Well.. he kinda shot first?

Firo:<font color="#000000">*KID DOOM GLARE*

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">*From this point

VAE:<font color="#000000">I assume Firo leapt on top of the counter.

VAE:<font color="#000000">I allowed it because it's kinda awesome

Karis:<font color="#805A24">&quot;And the shot you fired that broke up a nice little business gathering, mister Franta? You're not someone in posession of the high ground here.&quot;

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">So, is Firo in the way or not?

Franta:<font color="#000000">Fuc.... *looks at the bird*

VAE:<font color="#000000">best if you stepped sideways a bit

VAE:<font color="#000000">i mean, whatever are you to do likely isn't full round

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">That better? That was like the full 40 feet he could go. Can he still attack?

VAE:<font color="#000000">what's his base speed?

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">He's a feline.

Saphroneth:<font color="#805A24">Feline, so 40 ft.

VAE:<font color="#000000">oh, he can

VAE:<font color="#000000">i meant, the token isn't too explicit about that

VAE:<font color="#000000">i mean, species

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">It's on the sheet.

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">He points his left palm at Franta again.

Franta:<font color="#000000">He misses again, almost point blank.

Saphroneth:<font color="#805A24">Hakke K&#363;sh&#333;

Saphroneth:<font color="#805A24">...well, it's an open palm ranged attack...

Voltarus whispers: Can I try using intimidate to stop this fight?

Franta:<font color="#000000">The barman throws the pistol away and takes out a rapier.

Player &quot;Voltarus..&quot; is not connected.Player &quot;Techcubi&quot; is not connected. You whisper to Techubi: on yer turn

You whisper to Techubi: never mind, he has high charisma.. and fight is almost over

Voltarus whispers: So, have I done all I can this turn then?

You whisper to Techubi: yep, i guess

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">End turn.

Saphroneth:<font color="#805A24">Got to love thrown weapons.

Franta:<font color="#000000">FFFF *cough* as he takes it to the side while running... and what comes out definitely isn't water.

Karis:<font color="#805A24">&quot;Ahem, I mean. 'As you can see, this wasn't a good idea.&quot;

Saphroneth:<font color="#805A24">And turn.

Saphroneth:<font color="#805A24">&quot;Michail, take him out with expedience.&quot;

Michail:<font color="#000000">Indeed.. we don't like ideas like this. Boss doesn't like them either

Michail:<font color="#000000">How can we stop hurting each other? He hasn't hurt me yet!?

Michail:<font color="#000000">You understand this, Karis?

Firo:<font color="#000000">And I guess that provokes an AoO from the barman if the barman feels like being mean. :B

Karis:<font color="#805A24">&quot;Michail, the flunky that nearly concussed you does in fact count as on his side. He has by that definition hurt you.&quot;

Franta:<font color="#000000">He does, and swings at the annoying bird! You! You messed my aim! &#171; &#160;1d20+4 = 2 + 4 = 6&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; for he has Finesse

Franta:<font color="#000000">Except he isn't feeling finessy now

Karis:<font color="#805A24">&quot;And of course if mister Franta would be so good as to put up his rapier, we could resolve all this without anybody getting any more hurt.&quot;

Voltarus has received initiative.VAE:<font color="#000000">heh.. imagining Karis with his smiley face doing this is hillarious

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;See? We can --&quot; and then the young gryphon has to dodge a rapier strike.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Happiness is a warm gun, i guess.

Saphroneth:<font color="#805A24">He's got the whole thing down, except for the pleasant smile. He tries too hard.

VAE:<font color="#000000">or throwing dagger, anyways.

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">He points his left palm at Franta again.

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">He fires a dark purple ray of energy, &#171; &#160;1d20 + 1 = 6 + 1 = 7&#160; <font color="#009999">&#187; for &#171;  &#160;1d6 = 2&#160; <font color="#009999">&#187; damage if it hits.

Saphroneth:<font color="#805A24">Ouch. Not your encounter, mate.

Franta:<font color="#000000">*cough* Laugh *cough*

Firo:<font color="#000000">And then an eldritch blast is dodged, too. &quot;VOLTIE! I'm tryin' to help here!&quot;

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">So, since he hasn't moved yet, can he still intimidate?

Franta:<font color="#000000">Which arse-stuck village have you come from, mate?

VAE:<font color="#000000">yeah, i think he can

Saphroneth:<font color="#805A24">Intimidation takes no actual time, but you have to threaten the enemy.

VAE:<font color="#000000">if he moves in, that is

VAE:<font color="#000000">i had it slightly wrong it seems... but then, last time he wasnt't threatening him

Saphroneth:<font color="#805A24">And don't forget, he's been Intimidated by Firo. That's worn off now, but until it did he was Shaken and took -2 on every d20 roll.

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">He growls. &quot;Listen, you little Ferret FUCK. I am a citizen of Oriss, AND a descendant of Taun. If you don't stop right now, I PROMISE you, I will deep fry your cajones, whether or not you're living or DEAD.&quot;

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">intimidate: &#171; &#160;1d20 + 6 = 11 + 6 = 17&#160; <font color="#009999">&#187;

Saphroneth:<font color="#805A24">Oh, there's a +4 there.

VAE:<font color="#000000">heh, he meant threaten as in, being adjacent.. but this is such fun i'll allow it

Saphroneth:<font color="#805A24">For size.

Saphroneth:<font color="#805A24">Each size category is a +4.

Saphroneth:<font color="#805A24">Mister Michail is very intimidating.

Franta:<font color="#000000">*stares*

Karis:<font color="#805A24">*wrinkles nose* Now that's just crude.

VAE:<font color="#000000">bwhahahah

VAE:<font color="#000000">now imagine if Michail, who has skillpoints in intimidate did it

Firo:<font color="#000000">Soap! All of you! SOAP! &gt;:O


 * Liatai is having far too much fun playing this kid, can you tell? x3

Michail:<font color="#000000">Da, we'll need soap to rid of the smell.

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">So, wait, that intimidation didn't work?

Saphroneth:<font color="#805A24">Why yes, yes I can tell.

VAE:<font color="#000000">um, techcubi

VAE:<font color="#000000">did the above dialogue pass you by?

Saphroneth:<font color="#805A24">It worked. In fact, it worked very well indeed. He pissed himself, was the joke.

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">Oh.

Franta:<font color="#000000">T.ttaun?

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">&quot;Yes, TAUN.&quot;

Saphroneth:<font color="#805A24">Affinity: Anger/Rage

Saphroneth:<font color="#805A24">Heh.

VAE:<font color="#000000">it's when it's not so much you who deals with the stuff up front but yer ancestors :3

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">He said he was a descendant, not her SON.

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">But ,whatever.

Saphroneth:<font color="#805A24">Like a being would be able to tell the difference?

VAE:<font color="#000000">do you expect someone with a spear up him tell?

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">&quot;So, you ready to give up now, Mister Dumbass?&quot;

Saphroneth:<font color="#805A24">They think in terms of one or two generations at most. So do Were for the most part, though they're a bit more resistant to old age.

Franta:<font color="#000000">*passes out*

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">He blinks. &quot;Well, I guess that works, too.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">seriously - he lost most of his HP in one turn.. and got epically intimidated

Karis has received initiative.Karis:<font color="#805A24">&quot;Well, that was unpleasant. I suppose we'd better look for his back dues, then. They're presumably somewhere.

Drayco:<font color="#660099">Tie 'im up and haul 'im out!

VAE:<font color="#000000">why'd they bother?

Karis:<font color="#805A24">&quot;No, no, so long as everything gets paid off in the end then there's no hard feelings. It's only business, after all.


 * Firo hops down behind the counter and props the little ferret up against the back wall.

Karis:<font color="#805A24">&quot;Mind, that includes this little pistol here. I'm sure he won't be wanting it anymore after what happened this time.&quot;

Michail:<font color="#000000">Da, Business... We're either ness with ya, or the fist gets busi

Karis:<font color="#805A24">&quot;Indeed.&quot;

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">However, as you are busy recovering the spoils gotten, someone rather pissed off appears at the stairs.

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">He chuckles. &quot;I wonder what he was thinking about before he passed out.&quot;

Zora:<font color="#000000">Now whart the *bloody * hell is going on here?!

Karis:<font color="#805A24">&quot;Now, if I might ask what your business is here, ah... Firo and Volt? Oh, hello miss.&quot;

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;Voltie! Is that her?&quot;

Michail:<font color="#000000">You wonder? I think you said you are a cubi

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">&quot;Oh, you've got to be kidding me...&quot;

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;Wait wait! I'm not a robber! I'm a messenger!&quot;

Karis:<font color="#805A24">&quot;Not robbers. Businessmen.&quot;


 * Firo displays his badge. &#171; &#160;1d20+4 = 9 + 4 = 13&#160;  &#187; Diplomacy plus whatever modifier is there for displaying a badge of office.

Zora:<font color="#000000">Businessmen.. i know. *grins* .. wait, a mail gryphon?

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;Voltie, is this her? Is it?&quot;

Zora:<font color="#000000">How the hell did you get.. STOP IT THERE!

Zora:<font color="#000000">*at Karis*

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">He sighs. &quot;Yes, Fironi.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">roll Spot, and Karis should roll Int as well

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">All of us?


 * Firo reached back for his letter case, but paused at the badge. &#171; &#160;1d20+6 = 8 + 6 = 14&#160;  &#187; Spot, and &#171;  &#160;1d20+2 = 14 + 2 = 16&#160;  &#187; untrained Knowledge (local) on what the badge means.

VAE:<font color="#000000">all of you roll spot, since you are a bit far

Karis:<font color="#805A24">Spot &#171; &#160;1d20+4 = 16 + 4 = 20&#160; <font color="#805A24">&#187; and int &#171;  &#160;1d20+2 = 8 + 2 = 10&#160; <font color="#805A24">&#187;

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">Now, Michail is still a bit stunned.. besides he has trouble taking eyes off ... other features.

Saphroneth:<font color="#805A24">They're in scale with him?

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">Firo and Karis notice the badge says Okhrana

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">&quot;What's Okhrana?&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">why yes.. her model is Genesis after all, from the comic :P

VAE:<font color="#000000">moment

Saphroneth:<font color="#805A24">Ooh, interesting. Tsar-y interesting...

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">And as it doesn't take a genius, Karis also realises that this is probably why boss mentioned the guy agreed to 65:35 separation of the recovered profit

Saphroneth:<font color="#805A24">Actually, that's a little too oblique for me. Is it the case that this person was putting pressure on, or..?

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oak-ra-na?&quot;

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">For Okhrana is the local secret police.. and the currently sparsely dressed cat could probably cut you to pieces

Saphroneth:<font color="#805A24">So the recovered profit separation is hazard pay, then?

VAE:<font color="#000000">Nah, it's what usually happens.. is just he agreed to better dconditions

VAE:<font color="#000000">usual pay would be about 20-25 i imagine

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;... um, anyway... I have a letter for you, but if you wanna take care of something first, I can wait.&quot;

Saphroneth:<font color="#805A24">(And as it happens, I might have something of a chance. Not much of one, but I have a few Rays of Enfeeblement left, and if I could get her down to Str 0...)

VAE:<font color="#000000">basically, the gun woke her up.... and ti took the 30 seconds or so for her to get dressed etc

VAE:<font color="#000000">well, you could drop her strenght, which is indeed pathetic.. but who says she's a brawler ? :3

TMG:<font color="#000000">(I can't remember where, but I don't think Ray of Enfeeblement drains stack ^^; )

Saphroneth:<font color="#805A24">Str 0 - you fall over.


 * Firo steps aside.

VAE:<font color="#000000">i know

VAE:<font color="#000000">it's just that.. you might not get to the second one :P

Saphroneth:<font color="#805A24">Doesn't mention if it can stack or not.

VAE:<font color="#000000">seriously, higher HD than your boss bac k home

Saphroneth:<font color="#805A24">And I have a max drain on the first ray of 9, albeit a 1 in 18 chance.

Firo:<font color="#000000">Messenger gryphon is waiting patiently for acknowledgement, DM. ^^;

VAE:<font color="#000000">heh, how did you see the 8 strenght, anyeays?

Saphroneth:<font color="#805A24">I didn't.

VAE:<font color="#000000">thought yo ucan't check others' tokens

Saphroneth:<font color="#805A24">Just that 10 str isn't &quot;pathetic&quot;.

VAE:<font color="#000000">yeah, getting to it, sorry

Zora:<font color="#000000">Hey there! this ain't a buffet! Better say what do you - Oh, them?

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">&quot;Yes, them.&quot;

Karis:<font color="#805A24">&quot;They're all mine, sorry. I dropped a couple during the fracas.&quot;

Zora:<font color="#000000">Yeah.. and you managed to drop the staff too

Karis:<font color="#805A24">&quot;Self defence.&quot;

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;No they're not, the pistol belongs to the barman!&quot; Oh kids. :B

Zora:<font color="#000000">Yeah, had those... &quot;And he did so about six times&quot;

Karis:<font color="#805A24">&quot;The pistol has been... confiscated. I'll hand it in to the militia at the first opportunity, unless of course you wish to do that yourself.&quot;

Saphroneth:<font color="#805A24">(He's actually telling the truth. Always good to be seen as an upstanding citizen.)

Zora:<font color="#000000">Come over, and place the bloody thing at the table.

Zora:<font color="#000000">*points to the table nearest

Karis:<font color="#805A24">&quot;The closest one to you?&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">*gasp* She's incorporeal! :O

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">&quot;Look, will you just read the damn letter? We're really not in the mood to stay in this sooty city for much longer.&quot;

Zora:<font color="#000000">Now.. postie gryphon? And you? make sure they don't run!

Karis:<font color="#805A24">*Places pistol down, along with all unexpended bullets/powder*

VAE:<font color="#000000">hmm, now that's a mistake

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">&quot;Me?&quot;


 * Firo hands over the letter.

VAE:<font color="#000000">if the guy had still the bullets

VAE:<font color="#000000">it'd be clear

VAE:<font color="#000000">now, prove it isn't his

Saphroneth:<font color="#805A24">I thought I grabbed them back at where he was firing from.

VAE:<font color="#000000">well, yeah

VAE:<font color="#000000">but his stash

Saphroneth:<font color="#805A24">I'm being thoroughly cooperative here.

Zora:<font color="#000000">Hmm, the hell.. this really is.. who'd have said?

Zora:<font color="#000000">*facepaws*

Zora:<font color="#000000">Wait a moment!


 * Firo sits and waits patiently.

Zora:<font color="#000000">How do i know it wasn't yours?

Zora:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+3 = 17 + 3 = 20&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; Sense Motive

Karis:<font color="#805A24">&quot;Don't trust them, myself. This black powder nonsense? Look at the barman, there should be powder burns on his fur and some spilt powder. None on my arms.&quot;

Zora:<font color="#000000">Hmm.. *nods*

Zora:<font color="#000000">Now, that changes things a little.

Zora:<font color="#000000">*takes the letter*

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Um... Saph, Karis isn't still in primal form like his token says, is he? ^^;

VAE:<font color="#000000">we assume he converted before throwing the spear.

VAE:<font color="#000000">i think saph forgot to edit it

Saphroneth:<font color="#805A24">Sorry, forgot to change token when I shifted back before throwing dagger at Milan.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Sorry. Just noticed and was amused by the thought of this conversation going on in squeaks. x3

Saphroneth:<font color="#805A24">The gun's bigger than I would be.

Zora:<font color="#000000">*Breaking the seal again, she reads while still glancing at Karis and the bear*

Saphroneth:<font color="#805A24">Not, of course, that that stopped anyone.

Zora:<font color="#000000">...

Zora:<font color="#000000">Again?

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">&quot;What is it?&quot;

Karis:<font color="#805A24">Seats self on hands, making it clear he's not ready for action.

Zora:<font color="#000000">Um... why do *you* need to know?

Saphroneth:<font color="#805A24">Wonder if there's such a thing as an &quot;unintimidating&quot; check.

VAE:<font color="#000000">ahahaha

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">&quot;Well, in that case, goodbye.&quot;

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">He starts heading toward the door.

Zora:<font color="#000000">Wait up there... nobody ordered you to l-

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;Do you have any replies to send back, Miss Oakrana?&quot;

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">He stops.

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">&quot;...Ordered?&quot;

Zora:<font color="#000000">I'm Zora, dammit!

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">&quot;ORDERED!&quot;

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">&quot;ORDERED?&quot;

Zora:<font color="#000000">YES! intimidate &#171; &#160;1d20+8 = 7 + 8 = 15&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Karis:<font color="#805A24">&quot;Please don't antagonise her, she could take us all on at once. Including the big guy.&quot;

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;Zora, sorry! Zora Oak-rana? Your name badge said Oak-rana.&quot; ^^;

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">&quot;Listen, I may do some stuff for my mom and the council, but, I'm NOT GOING TO FUCKING LET SOME ANNOYING-&quot;

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">&quot;Eh, whatever...&quot;

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">now, this would look scarier if she was properly dressed.

Firo:<font color="#000000">I'm so gonna sic my big brother Maiza on you with soap, Voltie. &gt;:(

Zora:<font color="#000000">Yeah.. I think there still might be an use for you two.. apparently you are to help with some stuffs.

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">&quot;Wait, WHAT?&quot;

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;We are?&quot;

Zora:<font color="#000000">At least so says the part of the letter... well, i'd say the nicer one, but looking at this mess i am not sure.

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">He growls. &quot;What did that fucking Stein say we have to do?&quot;

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;Volt, manners!&quot;

Zora:<font color="#000000">What am i, a psychic?

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">He groans in exasperation.

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">&quot;'Why do you need to know'

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">&quot;'Come back!'&quot;

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;I dunno, are you? That other guy we saw was. He was cool.&quot; :3

Zora:<font color="#000000">Now, first order would be to find what these two were do-

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">&quot;'You two need to do more stuff!'&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">Listen checks, folks

Firo:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+2 = 7 + 2 = 9&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">&quot;'What am I, a psychic?'&quot;

Michail:<font color="#000000">*rubs his head*

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">Listen: &#171; &#160;1d20 - 3 = 15 - 3 = 12&#160; <font color="#009999">&#187;

Michail:<font color="#000000">I'm doin' somethin'

Michail:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+3 = 1 + 3 = 4&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Karis:<font color="#805A24">&#171; &#160;1d20 = 10&#160; <font color="#805A24">&#187;... any Bat racial Listen bonus?

VAE:<font color="#000000">why yes, i thnk at least +2

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">&quot;I AM NOT IN THE MOOD TO LISTEN TO SOME WOMAN WHO CAN'T MAKE UP HER DAMN MIND!&quot;

Karis:<font color="#805A24">12 then.

Zora:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+3 = 20 + 3 = 23&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;


 * Firo looks over his shoulder at Voltarus. &quot;You're being very unprofessional.&quot;

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">&quot;WHAT.&quot;

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">&quot;THE FUCK.&quot;

Zora:<font color="#000000">Oh FUCK!

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">&quot;DO WE NEED TO DO NEXT?&quot;

Karis:<font color="#805A24">&quot;Capital letters, everyone. Please speak in lowercase.&quot;

Karis:<font color="#805A24">&quot;Wait, what did I just say?&quot;

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">Both Karis and Zora hear the faint noise of a siren.

Karis:<font color="#805A24">&quot;Well, that can't be good. Sounds like somebody's noticed the altercation.&quot;

Zora:<font color="#000000">i think this changes priorities somewhat..

Karis:<font color="#805A24">&quot;Certainly.&quot;

Zora:<font color="#000000">Not sure.. it doesn't appear to close in.

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">&quot;Oh, great. That's more time we have to stay in this city.&quot;

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;You gotta go where the job takes you.&quot;

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">&quot;Eh, whatever.&quot;

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">&quot;I guess you're right...Only, that fuck Stein could have told us there'd be more to do than deliver a couple of letters.&quot;

Zora:<font color="#000000">*right*.. Firstly, you make sure those two don't get anywhere.

Zora:<font color="#000000">I'll, you know, get dressed

Zora:<font color="#000000">Spot &#171; &#160;1d20+3 = 20 + 3 = 23&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;You're gonna stay here, right?&quot; the gryphon says, looking very far up at the bear.

Zora:<font color="#000000">SO THAT THE HUNK OF MEAT STOPS BLOODY STARING!

Saphroneth:<font color="#805A24">...are LOADED DICE needed to be in this special unit?

Michail:<font color="#000000">Me? *whistles*

VAE:<font color="#000000">hahaha

Liatai:<font color="#000000">XD

VAE:<font color="#000000">yes they are.

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yeah, you!&quot;

Karis:<font color="#805A24">&quot;Michail... please display basic courtesy. Look, don't leer.&quot;

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">&quot;And, you better not go anywhere either, Were boy.&quot;

Karis:<font color="#805A24">&quot;Wouldn't dream of it.&quot;

Michail:<font color="#000000">But .. there's two of them!

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">&quot;I'll bet...&quot;

Michail:<font color="#000000">it's rare occasion!

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;Two of them?&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">(double sight, folks)

Firo:<font color="#000000">Oh kids. :B

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">&quot;He means she has two breasts.&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">... OH.

Michail:<font color="#000000">Yeah,.. and they kinda look the same

Karis:<font color="#805A24">&quot;...that is the concussion.&quot;

Michail:<font color="#000000">No, four of those!

Michail:<font color="#000000">I can count!

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">&quot;Wait, what?&quot;

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;Well that's not weird, my mama has six!&quot;

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">&quot;What does that-?&quot;

Karis:<font color="#805A24">Michail, quick check! How many heads am I holding up?&quot;

Michail:<font color="#000000">No six, four! Two girls, four breast!

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">&quot;...How the hell does your mom-? You know, maybe I don't really want to know.&quot;

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;Gryphon, silly.&quot; :B

Michail:<font color="#000000">Heads! Wait, which one of you is asking&gt;

TMG:<font color="#000000">erp, I gotta run, though I may be back in a few minutes

Karis:<font color="#805A24">&quot;You're seeing double.&quot;

Michail:<font color="#000000">The two-headed one or the one with just .. three?

Karis:<font color="#805A24">&quot;Maybe more than double, then.

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">&quot;Seriously? I don't think I've ever seen six breasts on a gryphon, before.&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">I'm just assuming gryphons have litters and nurse their young like cats. :B

Zora:<font color="#000000">Comes back, and although i lack a better picture, is now looking more decent.

<font color="#0000ff">TMG is disconnected.

</i>VAE:<font color="#000000">and i'd bet that be correct, Lia

Karis:<font color="#805A24">&quot;Well, they are polite about going outside while raising chicks... kittens... whatever the term is.&quot;

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">&quot;I guess you have a point about that...&quot;

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">&quot;So, anyway, what now?&quot;

Zora:<font color="#000000">Now... you two explain coherently what were you doing here and where did you come from.

Voltarus:<font color="#009999">&quot;You mean them?&quot;

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;Us? We came here from Oriss to deliver a message.&quot;

Zora:<font color="#000000">You have a small, insignificant plus for the gun.. don't waste it.

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh... them.&quot;

Zora:<font color="#000000">Yeah.. them

Karis:<font color="#805A24">&quot;Myself and my associate were engaged in debt collection. The bartender here had run up a debt, and attempted to get out of paying with force.&quot;

Saphroneth:<font color="#805A24">Gaah I have a long day tomorrow

Zora:<font color="#000000">Hmm... now while i think that shouldn't really be illegal, the spear up his arse definitely is

VAE:<font color="#000000">ending soon.

Zora:<font color="#000000">Now.. who sent you here?

Karis:<font color="#805A24">&quot;Everyone here can agree, he was the first to use lethal force. I merely reciprocated after two bullets and one hammerblow.&quot;

Saphroneth:<font color="#805A24">Need to know, is the mafia in this town &quot;we don't know who they are&quot; or &quot;we can;t make the charges stick&quot;

Saphroneth:<font color="#805A24">I've heard of both.

VAE:<font color="#000000">more the second, plus some &quot;don't really want to&quot;

Saphroneth:<font color="#805A24">So it's not a problem if I talk, then?

Saphroneth:<font color="#805A24">At least, mentioning a name.

VAE:<font color="#000000">though, the trouble is, you and your boss are the lower degree fish

Karis:<font color="#805A24">&quot;I had my orders passed on through someone I'm not certain of the name of, can't tell you above that.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">yeah.. well, this be a more specialised matter

Zora:<font color="#000000">Heh, i like the attitude.

Saphroneth:<font color="#805A24">Man, but I love speaking technical truths.

Saphroneth:<font color="#805A24">I'm not *certain*...

Zora:<font color="#000000">Actually, you two seem rather..competent.

Karis:<font color="#805A24">&quot;I'll take that as a compliment.&quot;

Zora:<font color="#000000">And you are locals, too... Let's see.

Zora:<font color="#000000">You help me out here, for stuff these kids don't handle well, and i'll consider the staff here to have come down from a really wild trip.

Karis:<font color="#805A24">&quot;Sounds like a mutually benificial arrangement.&quot;

Michail:<font color="#000000">Yeah! Boss likes agreements like that.

Michail:<font color="#000000">He tends to get them out of people.

Karis:<font color="#805A24">&quot;Mutual benefit is the only type worth agreeing on, and feedback is the coin of the realm.&quot;

Zora:<font color="#000000">Indeed.

Zora:<font color="#000000">Now, sadly you don't have clearance and i dunno where you come from..

Zora:<font color="#000000">Mind giving me a piece of fur, each?

Karis:<font color="#805A24">&quot;Mine's a bit sparse. Flight membrane, see. Hair do?&quot;

Karis:<font color="#805A24">*takes dagger*

Zora:<font color="#000000">I prefer having loose *smiles*

TMG:<font color="#000000">back, for the moment. Someone whisper what I missed?

VAE:<font color="#000000">this'll be wrapping up quite soon.,.,, i'll collect log, too

Michail:<font color="#000000">*still kinda shaken*

Karis:<font color="#805A24">*cuts lock of hair* &quot;I assume this is what you require, then. Sadly, I don't have an Arcane Mark to go with it.

Zora:<font color="#000000">Yeah.. good enough for the tracking... and him, too , if you may *points at the bear*

Karis:<font color="#805A24">&quot;Go ahead, Michail.&quot;

Michail:<font color="#000000">*takes a bit of fur, stumbles to give it*

TMG:<font color="#000000">oop! Going again, nevermind xD

</i>Michail:<font color="#000000">There, miss!

Zora:<font color="#000000">Fine.. so at least you two can''t disappear now

Karis:<font color="#805A24">&quot;Where do you want to sort the details out, and when?&quot;

Zora:<font color="#000000">We have a machine for that *grins*

Zora:<font color="#000000">Come upstairs.. the room is warded against scrying.

Karis:<font color="#805A24">&quot;A machine? Strange thing to debate in. Very well, now and here then.&quot;

Zora:<font color="#000000">You'd wonder how many of those attempts are just voyeur sickos

Zora:<font color="#000000">Oh ,and..

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;Um. ma'am? What about us?&quot;

Zora:<font color="#000000">You, too

Saphroneth:<font color="#805A24">(I assume that details will be next session? Getting kinda worried now about time.)

VAE:<font color="#000000">indeed

Saphroneth:<font color="#805A24">Right. Signing off, unless you need me.
