Saphroneth has connected.

Saphroneth:Should I demonstrate that new token I made?

Sulucamas:Sure

Saphroneth:Temple map?

Sulucamas:ok

Saphroneth:One picture, two tokens from it thanks to cunning cropping. I think it works.

Ganti has connected.

Sulucamas:<font color="#006666">Look like fine tokens to me :)

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">That's good, then. And yes, the silly hat is pretty much standard.

VAE:<font color="#000000">How is that a silly hat?

VAE:<font color="#000000">It's an eastern fur hat

VAE:<font color="#000000">well, usually sheep skin or something IIRC

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">I refuse to answer on the grounds I may infuriate the person with a Yamulka.


 * VAE still refuses to consider the hat silly.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">It's kind of strange, really... the Mongol empire at the height of their power only feared two things.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Internal politics, and convenient hurricanes.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">(Even today, their tactics would be pretty devastating against enemies without air support or heavy armour.)

Ganti:<font color="#003200">... I suspect I should shut this map down again.

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

</i>Arcalane:<font color="#003399">blarg

Ganti:<font color="#003200">Yo.

Kiera:<font color="#003399">there, macros and saves updated

Ganti:<font color="#003200">Okay.

Kiera:<font color="#003399">&#171; saveroll=1d20 = saveroll = 20 = 20

&#187;-->Reflex save! 20+5 = 25

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">You expended a twenty!

Ganti:<font color="#003200">Yes, you're going to do pretty well against one of the suckers I've got planned.

Kiera:<font color="#003399">If you think that's bad, you should've seen the init rolls we were getting last GV.

Kiera:<font color="#003399">Three 20s in a row.

Arcalane:<font color="#003399">then Tech got a 7 and someone else got another 20.

Ganti:<font color="#003200">Ane's init in GV is rediculous. Somethin like +17.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Hmm, a thought. Given that my bow is magical (+1), I think it might make sense that a +1 enhancement is just &quot;weapon is as if newly made all the time&quot;.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">That is, the string doesn't degrade for a bow, and so on.

Ganti:<font color="#003200">Okay.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Because Masterwork is +1 to hit, and all magical weapons are also masterwork...

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Eh, just me musing. It means I don't have to unstring my bow all the time.

Arcalane:<font color="#003399">+17? I thought you were only up to +12?

Ganti:<font color="#003200">I thought a good chunk of it went into preservation and resizing.


 * Ganti blinks. Probaly +12.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Resizing?

Ganti:<font color="#003200">A magic weapon has no size.

Ganti:<font color="#003200">It wrks for ALL wielders.

Ganti:<font color="#003200">*works.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Oh, right. Huh. Must have missed that.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">I could swear some of the items in the AEG have sizes.

Arcalane:<font color="#003399">Reaper's +12 Init well, thanks to the Overclocked Robot-Feat, his inbuilt sensors, and loldexupgrades.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Like the Bow of the Solars and the Balor's Swords. They are &quot;Large&quot;.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Armor and Weapon Sizes Armor and weapons that are found at random have a 30% chance of being Small (01-30), a 60% chance of being Medium (31-90), and a 10% chance of being any other size (91-100).

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">(this is the Magic Items section)

Ganti:<font color="#003200">DMG overrides it.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Where?

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">I was copypasting from the SRD.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Check Pg. 213.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">3.5 DMG, bottom right.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">I think that the way it seems to work is that weapons and armour are the only things that don't auto-resize.


 * Ganti is utterly baffled.

Ganti:<font color="#003200">I could have sworn it said all magic items readjusted themselves for their wearer...

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Worn ones, yes. But not armour and weapons.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Oh, worldbuilding note - what kind of size are the floating islands? Just by order of magnitude. I'm wondering whether an invasion force would be on the order of 100, 1000, 10,000 or 100,000 for the big ones.

Ganti:<font color="#003200">They vary.

Ganti:<font color="#003200">Over 100,000 for the really big ones. Continant sized after all.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Ah, excellent.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">If it was all archipelago sized, then open field horsemen would be kinda useless.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Oh, one idea - whoever has the best heavy infantry might use Roman style tactics in the air. (lock the ships with a heavy, clawed boarding ramp and basically fight a small-scale land battle)

Ganti:<font color="#003200">Mm.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Those damn Romans.. they always tried to turn sea inso land.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">The Roman fleet is actually pretty interesting. During one of the Punic wars, they lost their fleet (circa 100,000 men) to a storm. So they built another one. That one got lost to another storm. As did their third fleet. The fourth fleet was built by private citizens, and THIS time it lasted and managed to drive Carthage out of the sea.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">All rather Monty Python...

<font color="#0000ff">Sharpshot4321 has connected.

</i>Sulucamas:<font color="#006666">Howdy Sharp

Sharpshot4321:<font color="#006666">yo

Ganti:<font color="#003200">Yo.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Heya.

Sharpshot4321:<font color="#006666">Did Saph join us as a player last game?

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Observer.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Going for player this time.

Ganti:<font color="#003200">Okay, I think the only player we're missing is Meany.

Kiera:<font color="#003399">And RAM.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">He just said on IRC he was having to go soon.

Ganti:<font color="#003200">No, RAM and Hyuu said that they wouldn't be making it.

Ganti:<font color="#003200">And I missed that.

Sharpshot4321:<font color="#006666">bit short staffed this game eh?

Ganti:<font color="#003200">Aye.

Arcalane:<font color="#003399">Just a little.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">It's at least partly to get me hired and on board, as I understand it.

Ganti:<font color="#003200">Yeah, that's pretty much the only reason I didn't call it off.

Sharpshot4321:<font color="#006666">so are we starting then?

Ganti:<font color="#003200">Yes.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Right, how to set this up... the group looking for a useful sword arm, or me approaching them...

Arcalane:<font color="#003399">Hiring: Replacement Redshirts. Apply today!

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">It's actually a kind of brown-green. Red is rather contraindicated for a scout.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">The idea is to see them FIRST.

Sharpshot4321:<font color="#006666">question, we left off at the start of a 2-4 day pause. any of that time pass?


 * Ganti found a log of the last session, or possibly the session before that...

Ganti:<font color="#003200">Yes.

Sharpshot4321:<font color="#006666">how much?

Ganti:<font color="#003200">About a day. Then Sera got recalled to her temple for a reason she's not talking about.

Arcalane:<font color="#003399">oh, and since the campaign wasn't saved--

Arcalane:<font color="#003399">Ganti: (AP Totals) Sau: 26 Sera: 29 Roland: 16 Kiera: 17 Espada:14 Mardak: 2 Sandor: 1 Flaal: 1 Blair: 4 Gomez?: 1 Gonzolez?!: 1 Dr. Seamus:6 Kasnok:22 Althilmil:27

Ganti:<font color="#003200">Ayup.


 * Ganti does his best to keep track of the AP totals.

Arcalane:<font color="#003399">last thing that happened... people were playing cards. then nebulous timeskip and session end.

Arcalane:<font color="#003399">oh right, we were waiting on the gemcutter

Sharpshot4321:<font color="#006666">Roland has not returned to the ship over the timeskip.

Arcalane:<font color="#003399">...and Hyuu plays the guy who was our 'contact' with the gemcutter.

Sharpshot4321:<font color="#006666">didn't they do the gem cutter

Ganti:<font color="#003200">Ayup.

Sharpshot4321:<font color="#006666">and he said wait 3 days or something

Arcalane:<font color="#003399">we -went- to give him the gems but we didn't get them back yet

Ganti:<font color="#003200">And I... Should go poking the swap to see if the logs are there.


 * Ganti is confused and annoyed by crappy internet being crappy.

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">if you like, bothered to send me logs by email like lia does, I'd have put them up on the wiki by now :3


 * Ganti completely lacks the logs to send.

Ganti:<font color="#003200">You know, crappy internet is crappy and all.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">&#171; &#160;2d10 = 11&#160; <font color="#CC6600">&#187;

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">&#171; &#160;2d4 = 3&#160; <font color="#CC6600">&#187;

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">(height and weight)

Arcalane:<font color="#003399">uploading all the logs I have to the akellonswap drive

Ganti:<font color="#003200">Thanks.

Sharpshot4321:<font color="#006666">11 inches and 3 pounds? Ohh god its a pixie.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">That's to ADD.

Sharpshot4321:<font color="#006666">I know. im joking :P

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">And it's actually +33 lb.

Arcalane:<font color="#003399">drive -&gt; logs from arca -&gt; skylands. sorted YYYY/MM/DD

VAE:<font color="#000000">if you could send them from the swap to me?

VAE:<font color="#000000">vaeisenberg@gmail.com

Arcalane:<font color="#003399">if you can log into swap, just navigate to Drive at the top and get them that way. &gt;_&gt;


 * Arcalane uploads GV logs as well

Sharpshot4321:<font color="#006666">just so im not mistaken, we are currently paused while the logs get sorted out?

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Seems so.

Ganti:<font color="#003200">Only vaguely.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Wlll, that'd require me to log into the swap, which takes effort - you're already logged in :3

Arcalane:<font color="#003399">but emailing them takes effort

Arcalane:<font color="#003399">:V

Ganti:<font color="#003200">Vae, get off your ass and do the work yourself.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">I'm just waiting for there to be a situation I can chuck Behter into to meet up with the PC/s. He's got a good motive for joining the crew, so.

Arcalane:<font color="#003399">I use firefox to log into my main google acct. and chrome for the swap acct. incidentally

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">Ganti. I'm already processing the logs and slapping them on the wiki

VAE:<font color="#000000">Most of them are thre.

VAE:<font color="#000000">I'm doing the work, I just can't be arsed to do /all/ of it, even that which is easier for others.

<font color="#0000ff">Ganti is disconnected.

</i>Sharpshot4321:<font color="#006666">well... that does not bold well

Arcalane:<font color="#003399">:x

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

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">That <font color="#CC6600"> bolds perfectly well.

Flaal:<font color="#006666">I prefer bold well, to be honest

Sulucamas:<font color="#006666">whoops :3c

VAE:<font color="#000000">to bold well where no font has gone before?

Sulucamas:<font color="#006666">Fortune favors the bode.

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

</i>Sulucamas:<font color="#006666">Yay!

Sulucamas:<font color="#006666">Welcome back

Ganti:<font color="#003200">Geh. Crappy net is indeed crappy.


 * Ganti found a log with what he was looking for in it on his local HD, so that's that.

Sharpshot4321:<font color="#006666">we starting then or more log work?

Sulucamas:<font color="#006666">Flaal has played so, SO MANY card games over the last four days... @_@

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Oh, hey, a perfect hand!&quot;

Sulucamas:<font color="#006666">xU

Sharpshot4321:<font color="#006666">its only been 1 day?

Sharpshot4321:<font color="#006666">I think thats what ganti said

Sulucamas:<font color="#006666">I don't know...! :P

Sulucamas:<font color="#006666">And I'm sure my character hasn't been playing cards the whole time xD

Ganti:<font color="#003200">It is July 19, you've met a gnome 'locksmith' who joined up, and introduced you to the honest merchants in town yesterday. Then you decided to get a bunch of gems cut, which will take three more days. The weather is: Absurdly hot. To make matters worse, gusts of even hotter air blow out of the desert, often carrying with them licks of flame.

Sandor Munkas:<font color="#000000">Hey, what's wrong with cards? It's cheaper than the other way of having fun, anyways, unless you are really bad at it.

Ganti:<font color="#003200">If you're carying any non-magical flamables, they're in danger of igniting.

Sulucamas:<font color="#006666">Ganti, it's been one day?

Ganti:<font color="#003200">Aye.

Arcalane:<font color="#003399">One wonders how the city itself hasn't burnt down at this point.

Ganti:<font color="#003200">Only been one day.

Sandor Munkas:<font color="#000000">Bloody hell, good thing I light my fags up with magic.

</i>Elven Acolyte:<font color="#003200">Becuase unlike you forigners, we're used to it!

Sulucamas:<font color="#006666">And the captain has seen fit to show us what we're supposed to be doing to maintain the ship?


 * Ganti sighs.


 * Kiera is probably the only one here with ranks in Profession (Sailor). :T

Sulucamas:<font color="#006666">Sorry if that's dumb. I just don't want to make any assumptions. :)

Ganti:<font color="#003200">Sul, you're the striketeam. The boarders, explorers, and other fighters. The rest of the crew takes care of mantianence. You go kill what the captain points you at.

Roland:<font color="#006666">woo murder!

Sulucamas:<font color="#006666">OH! I thought I was just going to be part of the REST of the crew.

Sulucamas:<font color="#006666">Okidoki! xD

Arcalane:<font color="#003399">Well, you could be... but you wouldn't get any hazard pay or spoils of war~

Ganti:<font color="#003200">And do miscilainious other tasks that fit your specialties. The arcanists are expected to help keep the icebox running, the engineers (When there are any) help with engineering stuff, ETC.

Arcalane: <font color="#003399">He wouldn't get any hazard pay or spoils of war, right?

Sandor Munkas:<font color="#000000">Eh. I don't mind doing whatever, as long as it's far from home. And the Inquisition. Especially the Inquisition

</i>Ganti: <font color="#003200">Probably not.

Sulucamas:<font color="#006666">I'd be down with that, ARc

Kiera:<font color="#003399">Goddamn flamin' winds interrupting my sunbathing. &gt;:T

Behter-foot:<font color="#CC6600">This is just ridiculous, it feels like the time we nearly got caught in a weather control effect. Should have worn the desert gear. Ah well, no point getting changed in the middle of the street... hope there's something interesting going on, though.

</i>Arpad the Short:<font color="#000000">And I don't mind as long as there's mice. Or rats. Or other rodents. Glory to Arpad,conqueror of a thousand burrows.

</i>Ganti:<font color="#003200">The monk, for instance, depending on what monistary he came from, would be called on to calm down pissed off Djjins and Elementals if you encountered any.

Elisavet Michelakos: <font color="#3200">(( ... I did post that magic weather was fairly common in this world on the Wiki's FAQ page, right? ))

Sulucamas:<font color="#006666">^Roger


 * Ganti can't remember...

Roland:<font color="#006666">wonder if I can get a honey badger for a familiar.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">There's hot, and then there's &quot;hot without access to army resources&quot;, which is the same thing but more annoying.

Arcalane:<font color="#003399">You did. #7.

Ganti:<font color="#003200">Ah, fair enough.

Arcalane:<font color="#003399">But still. Gouts of flame threatening to set flammable things on fire are a little more exciting than, I don't know, rains of magical frogs.

Sandor Munkas:<font color="#000000">A thousand? Come on. It's not as blatant as when you claimed it was a thousand towns, but still. You eat twice a month, and half the time it's me who gets you something.

</i>Roland:<font color="#006666">bah, its not exciting till it starts raining UP

Elisavet Michelakos:<font color="#003200">Anyway, I just rolled to start the moons up again... The moon of Change is new, The moon of the mind is a Waxing cresant, and the moon of creation is new.


 * Ganti still needs to name the months and the moons something fancy.

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

</i>Elisavet Michelakos: <font color="#3200">(( Yo meany. ))

Arpad:<font color="#000000">You are just jealous that I aren't sweating right now. Blessed be those lacking thermoregulation, I guess.

</i>Kiera:<font color="#003399">Back in my day, it hailed explosive snowballs sideways!

Elisavet Michelakos:<font color="#003200">Wrong climate.

Meany:<font color="#000000">Ladymen.

Kiera:<font color="#003399">Look, when your capital city is built on an ancient Mage's fortress, anything can happen.

Behter:<font color="#CC6600">Much hotter and it'd be ideal weather to fight gunmen. Black powder doesn't like getting too hot...

</i>Sandor Munkas:<font color="#000000">I'll remind you of it when I'll be thawing you the next time we run into a blizzard.

</i>* Elisavet Michelakos enters the officers lounge. &quot;... Searafina was just recalled by the High Priestess. She was very tight lipped about the details, but the end result is still that we need another crewmember.&quot;

Arpad:<font color="#000000">I'd have done just fine.

</i>Sandor Munkas:<font color="#000000">As a coathanger. You were frozen solid.

</i>Arpad:<font color="#000000">Details...

</i>Elisavet Michelakos:<font color="#003200">&quot;Now, normally I'd ask if you knew anyone who would be interested in joining, but I'm afraid that is abit put on hold by the moderately extreme weather.&quot;

Flaal:<font color="#006666">&quot;Want us to put up signs or something?&quot;

Meany:<font color="#000000">Still a coffee mug, huh?

Sulucamas:<font color="#006666">Sure, why not. I'm boring.


 * Elisavet Michelakos just put out a bit of her hair and the weather's only 'moderate' to her. The Mehmish people are odd...

Sandor Munkas:<font color="#000000">&quot;Bugger. She seemed like a nice sort.&quot;

Kiera:<font color="#003399">&quot;Moderately extreme? If I'd stayed on deck any longer my shirt would've lit up.&quot; She sounds displeased.

Roland:<font color="#006666">you don't get to be boring. IM the boring one. There isn't enough room on this ship for 2 people nobody knows

Elisavet Michelakos:<font color="#003200">&quot;t

Elisavet Michelakos:<font color="#003200">*&quot;It's only Dragonsbreath.&quot;

Elisavet Michelakos:<font color="#003200">&quot;You should see the firestorms.&quot;

Sandor Munkas:<font color="#000000">&quot;Dragonsbreath. . . I'd have thought it comes from the opposite end.&quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#000000">&quot;We also need a doctor...&quot;

Flaal:<font color="#006666">(( We'll have to have a boring-ass staring contest over it. :P ))

Roland:<font color="#006666">((How about who can hold their breath the longest?))

Flaal:<font color="#006666">(( &gt;:{D&gt; ))

Kiera: <font color="#3399">(( Maybe we can use them to bore our enemies to death. ))

Flaal:<font color="#006666">&quot;You don't heal?&quot;

Flaal:<font color="#006666">blinks &quot;So we wait for the weather to pass, then go recruiting?&quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#000000">&quot;I support. I enforce, and defend.&quot;

Elisavet Michelakos:<font color="#003200">&quot;Well, Fargus didn't fit in with the crew Fester and his compainions joined up with, and he overheard Serafina's recall order, so he's willing to be our medic, but that still leaves us a little short-handed in the exploration-in-force department.&quot;

Elisavet Michelakos:<font color="#003200">And isn't that the kindest way of saying 'invade and loot' you've heard so far.

Kiera:<font color="#003399">You'd be surprised.

Kiera:<font color="#003399">&quot;At least we don't have to worry about Alth drinking everything remotely alcoholic any more.&quot;

Roland:<font color="#006666">((Is info on the moons in the wiki somewhere or was I suppose to write that down?))

Sandor Munkas:<font color="#000000">&quot;Fester sounds like a fitting name for someone a medic hangs out with&quot;

Elisavet Michelakos: <font color="#3200">(( Moons are on the wiki in FAQ. ))

Sandor Munkas:<font color="#000000">&quot;Kinda like a gemcutter's girlfriend being named Ruby&quot;

Roland:<font color="#006666">((Thanks))

Elisavet Michelakos: <font color="#3200">(( Or at least I'm pretty sure they are. ))

Flaal:<font color="#006666">&quot;Or should we just go recruiting now, and pick up anyone who's out-and-about in the fire?&quot;

Behter:<font color="#CC6600">*a nearby alcohol shop has a small explosion, as the frenzywine in the cabinets finally exceeds its' flashpoint*

Sandor Munkas: <font color="#000000">&quot;Uh, I think we should move out as soon as possible. &quot;

Elisavet Michelakos:<font color="#003200">&quot;As long as you take sufficant procautions, Dragonsbreath isn't all that unpleasant. I'd only really be worried about Roland out of all of you.&quot;

Sandor Munkas: <font color="#000000">&quot;In the name of efficiency, you understand. &quot;

Flaal:<font color="#006666">o_O &quot;Why's that? Flamable cloak?&quot;

Arpad:<i><font color="#000000">Heh, sure. Because if someone busts your arse, it'd make you rather inefficient.

</i>Roland:<font color="#006666">((... where is the wiki FAQ? :)

Kiera: <font color="#3399">(( I linked you to it on IRC a few minutes ago you loon! ))

Kiera: <font color="#3399">(( remember kids, you can prefix your messages with /ooc to auto-add brackets and cut out the token/portrait thing ))

Roland:<font color="#006666">((You gave me the overall collected info, is that the FAQ?))

Flaal: <font color="#6666">(( this kid thanks you ))

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">Isn't this the dumbest argument to be having in maptools?

Sharpshot4321: <font color="#6666">(( Info on the moons is not on the collected info page ))

VAE:<font color="#000000">there's all of a single page

VAE:<font color="#000000">there's that page, and the logs

Elisavet Michelakos: <font color="#3200">(( I'm pretty sure it's in the FAQ section. ))

Flaal: <font color="#6666">(( thanks for fillin' me in too. I still want to know why it'd be a problem for Roland. ;) ))

Kiera: <font color="#3399">(( mysterious skin conditions *sagenod* ))

Innkeeper:<font color="#003200">&quot;What we've got? Iryz, Chyndunt, Odare, Rynet, Onhat... and the house special.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">because frankly, trying to change it with this cadence is getting a little disruptive

VAE:<font color="#000000">uh, perhaps use italics like everyone else?

Sandor Munkas:<font color="#000000">&quot;Out of the fire and into the frying pan!&quot;

Innkeeper whispers: ... I can't remember what you asked for other then 'fun', which she's going to ignore.

You whisper to Ganti: Uh, rum? You might have misread it

Behter:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;I always forget how horrible the weather here is. Probably because the last fifteen years I've been either too busy running away from armies or operating inside a weather control zone.&quot;

Innkeeper whispers: OH! Yeah, probably.

You whisper to Ganti: Sandor Munkas: &quot;Well, there are many ways, but I'll settle for some rum.&quot;


 * Flaal eyes Behter over his drink

Roland: <font color="#6666">(( brb, grabbing dinner ))

Flaal:<font color="#006666">Behter, what do you look like? :o

You whisper to Ganti: He did insinuate there are many ways she could help him, but he made a valid order.

Behter:<font color="#CC6600">Behter is of about average build, and his eyes have a slight epicanthetic fold. He wears boots suitable for riding long distances, and leather armour which has green-brown colours splashed over it - currently unlaced in the heat. A pair of metal bracers enclose his forearms, visible where the sleeve of his left arm is worn away on the inside, and he has a ring on one thumb. The most immediately apparent thing about him is a truly enormous bow, taller than he is, strapped to his back alongside a short spear. A large hat is stuffed into a pocket, and a sabre hangs from his belt.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">(I was prepared!)

Arpad:<i><font color="#000000">Look at that guy

</i>Sandor Munkas:<i><font color="#000000">Why should I? The innkeeper is cuter.

Arpad:<i><font color="#000000">One of my people. You don't see that in the Sultanate too often

</i> You whisper to Ganti: ask Lia, if you want

You whisper to Ganti: Either it's gonna be in AEG, probably


 * Flaal whispers to Sandor &quot;Looks like he's got the Force part of Exploration-in-Force covered, yes?&quot;

Innkeeper whispers: Can't. IRC's not working on this comp, and the other one's elsewhere.

Sandor Munkas:<i><font color="#000000">Your people? You mean he's a disguised snake?

</i> You whisper to Ganti: Fair

Arpad:<i><font color="#000000">My arse. He looks like a Horde soldier.

</i>Sandor Munkas:<font color="#000000">*whispers to Flaal* &quot;Yeah... or so has my snake noted.&quot;

Roland: <font color="#6666">(( back ))


 * Innkeeper eventually comes back with a tankard of rum. &quot;Standard four coppers, please.&quot;

Sandor Munkas:<i><font color="#000000">Horde? Oh.. you mean.

</i><font color="#000000"> &quot;Thanks, honey.&quot; *hands over five*


 * Innkeeper blinks at the shirtless Kobold. &quot;Hello, how can I help you?&quot; My, I'm getting a lot of visitors today.

Flaal: <font color="#6666">(( I'm sorry, did you say TANKARD OF RUM?? XD ))

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Er, wow.

Flaal: <font color="#6666">(( that's awesome! ))

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">That is probably enough alcohol to stun a horse.

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#000000">&quot;Water, please.&quot;

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

Innkeeper: <font color="#3200">(( Probably. Can't find the stats, so I'm just using ale. ))

Behter:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Are you sure that's healthy? Water, I mean.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">I guess snakeblooded are more resistent. And. . . uh. Stats are one thing. .

Behter:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;At least cut it with something.&quot;

Innkeeper:<font color="#003200">&quot;That is true. First Dragonsbreath?&quot;

Flaal:<font color="#006666">&quot;Maybe now we can talk without shouting across the hall?&quot; ;)

Arpad:<i><font color="#000000">yes I do mean my days of fame as Arpad the Resolute.

</i>Sandor Munkas:<i><font color="#000000">Like hell.

</i>Sandor Munkas:<font color="#000000">Sandor pours most of the tankard into two rather large flat-bottles, then drinks the rest. &quot;Well, we don't have a medic but we sure have medicine.&quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yyyep.&quot;

Flaal:<font color="#006666">&quot;You look pretty well-armed for someone who's been running AWAY from armies. Free lance?&quot;

Behter:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Hah! Used to be a scout for the Horde. Exploring officer, you know the drill - find the enemy, piss them off, and hope the rest of the army turns up in time.&quot;

Sandor Munkas:<i><font color="#000000">. .. So you weren't shitting me. ..

</i>Sandor Munkas:<font color="#000000">The man looks eminently surprised.

Behter:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Finished my fifteen years last month, went home to buy a farm and earn a peaceful living. Got bored out of my skull in a quarter of an hour flat, barely stopped myself shooting half the animals, sold it again.&quot;

Flaal:<font color="#006666">&quot;And now?&quot;

Espada:<font color="#990000" face="Segoe Print">Got it!

Roland: <font color="#6666">(( what was it? ))

Espada:<font color="#990000">Font face=&quot;blahblah&quot;

Behter:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Not free-lance, only technically - never trained for the lance. But I'm basically looking for somewhere to get back to the fight. Mercenary, whatever - might even sign on for another stretch if it comes to it.&quot;

Arpad:<i><font color="#000000">Of course not. If I was pulling it from my arse, I wouldn't tell the bit about how I died of a broken head when I fell off a bed in a conquered city when screwing a local. See, we used to sleep on sheepskins.

</i>Espada:<font color="#990000">Now...

Sandor Munkas:<font color="#000000">&quot;Sounds like you're in luck, then.&quot;


 * Flaal glances at Sandor and starts chuckling

Behter:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Forgot how much harder it is without support from Army mages, though - last five horses lasted naff-all time... oh?&quot;

Espada:<font color="#990000">SUDDENLY!

Behter:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Wait, is that someone's pet?&quot;

Espada:<font color="#990000">Fox. :B


 * Flaal laughs harder

Sandor Munkas:<font color="#000000">&quot;That's just Arpad.&quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#000000">Where's my water?

Espada:<font color="#990000" face="Segoe Print">&quot;Hi!&quot; :3

Espada:<font color="#990000">That's heard in your mind, by the way.

Espada:<font color="#990000">Also.

Espada:<font color="#990000">The fox is wearing Breastplate armor.


 * Flaal almost loses it and spills his drink


 * Innkeeper produces some water, then blinks at the five-tailed blue fox. The telepathic five tailed blue fox. &quot;... Spirit?&quot;

Arpad:<font color="#000000">*from his pocket* &quot;Hsssss&quot;

Behter:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Bloody hell,it talks... wait a moment... blue fox with many tails... bloody hell. You aren't the Terror of Uighur, are you?&quot;

Espada:<font color="#990000">And carrying a sword easily over seven feet long on her back.

Espada:<font color="#990000" face="Segoe Print">&quot;The what now?&quot; :.

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#000000">&quot;So yeah.&quot;

Sandor Munkas:<font color="#000000">&quot;Terror of Uighur? Nah, it's just a fox. She travels with the lot of us.&quot;


 * Innkeeper looks at the sword. &quot;Spirit.&quot;

Behter:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Wait, wait... they called her the Heavy Blade? Blade of Light, something like that... the one who dropped half a mountain ten feet in the middle of that battle.&quot;

Flaal:<font color="#006666">x3

Espada:<font color="#990000" face="Segoe Print">&quot;Oh, that.&quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#000000">&quot;Couldn't find any non-apprentice level healers.&quot;

Innkeeper:<font color="#003200">&quot;So, how can I help you?&quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#000000">&quot;So.&quot;

Arcalane:<font color="#003399">Things our party is all about: small people, magic, big swords. |D

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#000000">&quot;I'm going to study and become one!&quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#000000">Suddenly books.

Espada:<font color="#990000" face="Segoe Print">&quot;...Wait.&quot;

Behter:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Wiped out two tyumen, and screwed the invasion force over sideways.&quot;

Espada:<font color="#990000">Espada narrows her eyes at the man.

Roland: <font color="#6666">(( your forgot giant bows ))

Roland: <font color="#6666">(( you* ))

Espada:<font color="#990000" face="Segoe Print">&quot;You're one of them, aren't you?&quot; &gt;:|


 * Flaal stops laughing quickly

Sandor Munkas:<font color="#000000">&quot;You two know each other?&quot;

Behter:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Suddenly I feel like some kind of tiny little mouse in front of an enormous pissed off cat.&quot;

Behter:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;I'm a hordesman, or was. Fifteen years, mostly campaigning against the Sultanate.&quot;

Espada:<font color="#990000" face="Segoe Print">&quot;Not him, persay.&quot;

Espada:<font color="#990000" face="Segoe Print">&quot;But his people tried to invade mine thousands of years ago.&quot;

Espada:<font color="#990000" face="Segoe Print">&quot;So I dropped a mountain on them.&quot;

Flaal:<font color="#006666">:| &quot;What was the last part of that statement?&quot;

Behter:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Everyone invades everyone. Way of the world.&quot; (he's trying to keep his cool, but not all that sweat is from the heat)

Sandor Munkas:<font color="#000000">*nudges the Kobold* &quot;Rum's dirt cheap here. Got two canteens' worth for a fiver, and there was about four shots left to drink&quot;

Behter:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Against the Sultanate? Hey, I go where I'm ordered, and only sacked one town. Policy.&quot;

Espada:<font color="#990000" face="Segoe Print">&quot;Still pissed me right the fuck off.&quot; &gt;:|

Sandor Munkas:<i><font color="#000000">See? You didn't know about that.I knew you're making shit up

</i>Espada:<font color="#990000" face="Segoe Print">&quot;You're lucky I didn't do worse.&quot;

Flaal:<font color="#006666">&quot;No, not you. I just wanted to point out that we don't all have the luxury of being pissed off for a thousand years.&quot;

Espada:<font color="#990000" face="Segoe Print">&quot;Be glad Mother stopped me.&quot; &gt;:E

Behter:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;And I'm sure the twenty thousand people who died in one minute were very sorry. It's war. Things happen.&quot;

Arpad:<i><font color="#000000">Cut me some slack, nobody remembers everything, especially not if you got the brainpower of a snake.

</i>Behter:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Hell, Odegai wasn't as bad as some. He gave towns three days to surrender before he put up the red tent.&quot;

Espada:<font color="#990000" face="Segoe Print">&quot;You keep trying to justify invading a peaceful nation. It's not working.&quot;

Flaal:<font color="#006666">:| &quot;Bygones.&quot;

Behter:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Justify? No. Explain? Maybe. But it all happened so long ago I couldn't even trace my ancestry past a guess. It's a bloody scary story, though. You know you're used to frighten Horde kids into going to bed?&quot;

Espada:<font color="#990000" face="Segoe Print">&quot;Cool!&quot;

Flaal:Flaal:<font color="#006666">&gt;&gt;

Sandor Munkas:<font color="#000000">*watches them for a moment, then turns to the innkeeper.* &quot;I wouldn't mind an ale... or knowing what are you up to tonight. Preferrably both.&quot;

Arcalane:<font color="#003399">Espada is a total ditz, I swear.

Espada:<font color="#990000">She's very...naive at this point in time. :B

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

Espada:<font color="#990000">There is a reason for that.

Flaal:<font color="#006666">...

Behter:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Yeah, that's about how I saw it once I hit my teenage years. I think a few Horde kids actually worship you. Scaring 'em straight doesn't work once you're old enough.&quot;

Roland: <font color="#6666">(( quick, someone toss a stick and see if she plays fetch ))

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

Arpad:<font color="#000000">The snake curls up quickly.

Espada: <font color="#990000" face="Segoe Print">:O

Flaal:<font color="#006666">&quot;You sure about that?&quot; ;)

Espada:<font color="#990000" face="Segoe Print">&quot;I still have worshippers?!&quot;

Behter:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Well, not per se... we never learned any of your actual tenets, so we're mostly guessing.

Arcalane:<font color="#003399">Rule #1: Don't be a douche to peaceful nations.

Behter:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Think it amounted to assuming earthquakes were in there somewhere.&quot;


 * Arcalane sagenod.

Espada:<font color="#990000" face="Segoe Print">&quot;Eh, they're not so hard.&quot;

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">look at her explain the tenets and lose her last worshippers

Espada:<font color="#990000" face="Segoe Print">&quot;Biggest think is simply 'Protect.'&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">The other two are Secure and Contain *brick'd*


 * Innkeeper gives sandor a flat look. &quot;Busy.&quot; She does produce some ale, though.

Behter:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;...you know, that might go over pretty well in the cities. They're big on that there.&quot;

Espada:<font color="#990000" face="Segoe Print">&quot;Protect your family, protect your people.&quot;


 * Flaal drinks and lets the fox do the talking

Espada:<font color="#990000" face="Segoe Print">&quot;Thus, why I dropped a mountain on you when you invaded my people.&quot; :B

Flaal:<font color="#006666">x?

Flaal:<font color="#006666">x/

Behter:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Well, not quite dropped on... more dropped under.&quot;

Sandor Munkas:<font color="#000000">&quot;What about tomorrow?&quot;

Innkeeper:<font color="#003200">&quot;Also busy.&quot;

Arpad:<i><font color="#000000">You just don't give up, do you?

</i>Aurixsauriv:<font color="#000000">Sip sip sip water.

Behter:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;I don't think you'll have much luck with her, moustacheovich.&quot;

Behter:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Anyway, what brings you lot here? I'd say you were on the pull, but you all seem to know one another.&quot;

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Ah, bugger. Ram needs boot again, Vae.

Flaal:<font color="#006666">&quot;Remember what you said about cat and mouse earler?&quot;

<i><font color="#0000ff">RAM is disconnected.

</i>RAM:<font color="#990000">Anyone get my last line?

Flaal:<font color="#006666">Doesn't look like it

RAM:<font color="#990000">&quot;Mmm, close enough.&quot;

Sandor Munkas:<font color="#000000">&quot;Since when did my luck become your call?&quot;

Innkeeper: <font color="#3200">(( Don't think so. ))

Espada:<font color="#990000">In response to &quot;...dropped under.&quot;

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Yeah, gotcha.

Behter:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Since I saw you having less luck than the Army of Nuntioch.&quot;

Espada:<font color="#990000" face="Segoe Print">&quot;So...what are we here for, anyway?&quot;

Behter:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;They spent three months building a berm to keep cannons off them... five minutes later a Tumen rode up and sprayed them with arrows.&quot;

Sandor Munkas:<font color="#000000">&quot;Luck just takes time and effort. And as is, we have both.&quot;

Behter:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;And you don't know either? What is this, a bad joke?&quot;

Behter:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;A Hordesman, a Deity and a terrible womanizer walk into a bar. Ouch.&quot;


 * Flaal coughs &quot;We're HERE to hire someone like HIM.&quot;

Espada:<font color="#990000" face="Segoe Print">&quot;Oh.&quot;

Espada:<font color="#990000" face="Segoe Print">&quot;Well then.&quot;

Espada:<font color="#990000" face="Segoe Print">&quot;You're hired?&quot; :B

Sandor Munkas:<font color="#000000">&quot;Kinda like the one where a big-mouthed cross-eye walked into a table.&quot;

Behter:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Oh, Tengri yes. This is just what I was after. Absolutely no boring staring at the horizon waiting for a wolf to show up in three months' time so you can shoot one arrow at it.&quot;

Behter:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;So, what do you lot do then? There's no way you're army recruiters, not unless their standards for... well, uniforms at the least, have slipped badly.&quot;

Espada:<font color="#990000" face="Segoe Print">&quot;Instead, you get to sit on a ship for weeks before you shoot arrows at things!&quot;

Sandor Munkas:<font color="#000000">&quot;We're freelancers.&quot;

Espada:<font color="#990000" face="Segoe Print">&quot;Hope you're not prone to airsickness!&quot; :B

Behter:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Oh, I can endure that just fine. I've been on both sides of boarding operations. It's decidedly less fun when the enemy are boarding you. But at least I don't have to deal with bloody airsick horses any more.&quot;

Espada:<font color="#990000" face="Segoe Print">&quot;Ooh, that sounds miserable.&quot;

Espada:<font color="#990000" face="Segoe Print">&quot;...I didn't even know horses could get airsick!&quot; :o

Sandor Munkas:<font color="#000000">&quot;As far as I know, horses don't throw up.&quot;

Behter:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;They can't, but it's not fun when the horse has been pissed off and trying for six weeks.&quot;

Behter:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Normally they just check they're on solid ground, then sod off.&quot;

Espada:<font color="#990000" face="Segoe Print">&quot;So...&quot;

Espada:<font color="#990000" face="Segoe Print">&quot;When is the food getting here?&quot; :.

Espada:<font color="#990000" face="Segoe Print">&quot;I'm hungry!&quot;

Behter:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Friend of mine once broke a leg that way. He didn't want to lose the horse, so when it bolted he held on. For about ten seconds.&quot;

Behter:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Funniest thing that campaign.2


 * Flaal hails the innkeeper

Innkeeper:<font color="#003200">&quot;Yes?&quot;

Flaal:<font color="#006666">&quot;Anything on the spit?&quot;

Espada:<font color="#990000" face="Segoe Print">&quot;I'm hungry!&quot; :D

Innkeeper:<font color="#003200">&quot;Oh! Do you want to wait for a main dish, or start with some Meze?

Innkeeper:<font color="#003200">&quot;

Espada:<font color="#990000" face="Segoe Print">&quot;Some who what now?&quot;

Behter:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;I'm all for that.&quot;

Sandor Munkas:<font color="#000000">&quot;We'll be happy with any of your meat.&quot;

Espada:<font color="#990000" face="Segoe Print">&quot;Is it delicious? :.&quot;

Innkeeper:<font color="#003200">&quot;Meze. The literal translation is something along the lines of 'pleasant taste'. They function as... Hm. Appatizers, I think?&quot;

Flaal:<font color="#006666">&quot;Let's start with some Meze, then.&quot; ^_^

Espada:<font color="#990000" face="Segoe Print">&quot;Oh!&quot;

Espada:<font color="#990000" face="Segoe Print">&quot;Umm...whatever's the nummiest, then!&quot;

Espada:<font color="#990000" face="Segoe Print">&quot;Do you guys still eat normal things in this era? Like, roasted boar and stuff?&quot;

Espada:<font color="#990000" face="Segoe Print">&quot;Or has it gone weird?&quot; :.

Behter:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;I've had boar. Mainly while foraging, mind...&quot;

Sandor Munkas:<font color="#000000">&quot;We eat all that doesn't eat us.&quot;

Espada:<font color="#990000" face="Segoe Print">&quot;Just like old times!&quot; :3

Behter:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;And in the case of some people, things that tried but failed.&quot;

Innkeeper:<font color="#003200">&quot;Now, I reccomend the Kavun Ve Peynir (Melon and Cheese, for those of you who speak Mehmish), but I'm not sure that the Spirit you've got with you will be able to eat that. They've got finicky dietary requirements... Kisir (Fried wheat patties) and Yogurthl Patlican (Fried Eggplant and yogurt) are also good, but again, spirit.&quot;

Arpad:<i><font color="#000000">Like that cat

</i>Arpad:<i><font color="#000000">She was yummy

</i>Espada:<font color="#990000" face="Segoe Print">&quot;Oh, don't worry. I'm not really a spirit.&quot;

Sandor Munkas:<i><font color="#000000">You ate a cat. Yeah, right

</i>Behter:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Any brain? I think that's meaty enough.&quot;

Espada:<font color="#990000" face="Segoe Print">&quot;I'm...well, not sure what I would be right now.&quot;

Innkeeper:<font color="#003200">&quot;Oh?&quot;

Espada: <font color="#990000" face="Segoe Print">&quot;I'm not really a deity anymore...&quot;

Innkeeper:<font color="#003200">&quot;The brain would be the main course.&quot;


 * Espada ponders this.


 * Innkeeper blithly ignores the claim to dietyness.

Espada:<font color="#990000">Also, I only have, like, 30 minutes of battery life left. :B

Espada:<font color="#990000">It should be mentioned that Espada is sitting at the table, with her front paws on it. :B

Innkeeper:<font color="#003200">&quot;Very well. Your salad will be up shortly, the Kofte will take a while. And, as I said, I reccomend the Kiremitte Kebab.&quot;

Sandor Munkas:<font color="#000000">&quot;Bring it in then.&quot;

Espada:<font color="#990000" face="Segoe Print">&quot;I'll have that, then!&quot; :D

 * Innkeeper hurries off to the kitchens to get the cooks going.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Good. Just making sure. And it's slightly characterful, too, because it is soaked in hard alcohol... as a career soldier, he doesn't exactly trust water.)

VAE:<font color="#000000">yeah. I assume raki is something like rakija - croatian wine destillate

Espada:<font color="#990000" face="Segoe Print">&quot;Soooo...&quot;

Innkeeper: <font color="#3200">(( Kofte is actually, quite literaly, Meatballs. Exact translation. ))

Innkeeper: <font color="#3200">(( Yeah, I know some food phrases. ))

Behter:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Yeah. Mainly not to ride too fast, or to go to bed, or whatever.&quot;

Espada:<font color="#990000" face="Segoe Print">&quot;Or the Big Bad Fox will drop a mountain on them?&quot; :B

Sandor Munkas:<font color="#000000">&quot;Kinda meh. Over where I'm from, half the parents use the Inquisition, and half use rogue sorcerers.&quot;

Behter:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;For the riding one, it's... let's see... 'don't go too fast, or if the ground drops you won't be able to stop in time'. Doesn't make much sense, but they're kids.&quot;

Innkeeper:<font color="#003200">Okay, about five miniutes later she comes out with the salad and the Kavun Ve Peynir. (I think someone orderd that last one. If not, replace it with whatever was ordered.

Espada:<font color="#990000" face="Segoe Print">&quot;Heh, earthquakes.&quot; :B

Behter:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Thank you. Hmm, not bad. One good thing about civvie life, you don't have to have food you make yourself. I'm not that great of a cook...&quot;

Innkeeper:<font color="#003200">&quot;Now, the Kofte will be up in about ten more miniutes. The Kiremitte five miniutes after that.&quot;

Behter:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;And that salt?&quot;

Behter:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Like I say, it's important. Just a copper or so, but it has to go on their tab.&quot;

Sandor Munkas:<font color="#000000">&quot;I suppose if you ate in our factory's mess hall, you'd lose the enthusiasm.&quot;

Espada:<font color="#990000" face="Segoe Print">&quot;You know, you're not bad.&quot; :B

Sandor Munkas:<font color="#000000">&quot;Well, salt does clean out bad miasma from things.&quot;

Behter:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;It's also useful when you're in the desert or somewhere hot. Sweat is salty, and if you run out you're proper screwed.&quot;

Arpad:<i><font color="#000000">He didn't mean me, moron.,

</i>Behter:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;I mean the Aurixsauriv bloke. The Wiz Liz. Look, if there's one lesson I've learned from fifteen years on campaign it's that you can never trust the bloody water. Not unless you've boiled it for ten minutes.&quot;

Sandor Munkas:<font color="#000000">&quot;Whoever in their right mind would drink any. Just add in some rum, cleans it up.&quot;

Innkeeper: <font color="#3200">(( Hah! Celtic connections is on. It's no Thistle and Shamrock, but it's not bad. ))

Behter:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Hey, your name means.... Goldeye? Saw a book called that once.&quot;

Sandor Munkas:<font color="#000000">&quot;Book?&quot;

Sandor Munkas:<i><font color="#000000">Thought you said the Horde didn't know how to read and write.

</i>Behter:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Don't look so surprised. I know ten bloody languages and needed to read maps.&quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yep.&quot;

Arpad:<i><font color="#000000">Well technically I said I didn't know how to, and implied the rest. You can't be the best at *everything*

</i>Sandor Munkas:<font color="#000000">&quot;No shit. Ten languages? There isn't even that many.&quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#000000">&quot;My species actually has bacteria in our stomachs that attacks the dysentery bacteria.&quot;

Behter:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;I'm out of practice at a few, but yes, ten. It's much easier to get information when you can just ask, believe it or not. And I understood all the words there except bacteria. What the hell is that?&quot;

Sandor Munkas:<font color="#000000">&quot;There's one of hells, one of heavens, Mehmish, Elven, and those of dragons. . .&quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#000000">&quot;So I only have to worry if I drink large volumes. Which I'm not.&quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#000000">&quot;It is an organism of extreme smallness.&quot;

Innkeeper:<font color="#003200">&quot;You haven't spent much time here, have you?&quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#000000">&quot;That cannot be seen without many mirrors and sometimes magic arranged specifically to do so.&quot;

Behter:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Far as I know, water that's boiled has the Earth chased out of it by the Fire, and booze has the Fire built into it. It's complete nonsense, but it'll do until I actually learn the real reason.&quot;

Sandor Munkas:<font color="#000000">&quot;I'd have spent more, if I knew you were here.&quot;

Behter:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;I mean, if it works like that, why do tiny powder pellets they give the Sultanate work too?&quot;

Innkeeper:<font color="#003200">&quot;You should drop by the market on one of the busy days. I swear, half the world sshows up.&quot;

Sandor Munkas:<font color="#000000">&quot;Gun powder?&quot;

Sandor Munkas:<font color="#000000">&quot;That one has fire built in it too. I mean, you do make it with coal dust - that's as much fire as you want.&quot;

Behter:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Nah, something else. Gun powder just gives alcohol a brutal kick. The powder I mean is labelled &quot;one&quot;, in old numerals.&quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#000000">&quot;Alcohol attacks a lot of bacteria due to its nature. Dependong on the brand, it is also nutritious.&quot;

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">(It's iodine, for those without that particular tidbit.)

Sandor Munkas:<font color="#000000">&quot;I powder? How does it look?&quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#000000">&quot;It also observably damages your brain with each dose exceeding what your liver can manage.&quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#000000">&quot;I wouldn't know.&quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#000000">&quot;I have been out of the jungle for all of a few months.&quot;

Behter:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;White? Think so, been a while since I saw some.2

Innkeeper:<font color="#003200">&quot;And when Ethne and the Empire aren't visiting, you can hear even more....&quot;

Sandor Munkas:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hmm, dunno about white powders, that can be anything&quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#000000">&quot;Also boiling water does burn out a lot of bacteria. Not all, but most, but that is because the bacteria is alive, and it can't survive the heat.&quot;

Behter:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Ah, so they don't survive any more than anything else does. Suppose if I were pickled in alcohol I'd die, too... what a way to go.&quot;

Innkeeper: <font color="#3200">(( Ah! I was wondering. ))

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">I suspect Ganti may be lagging slightly...

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">:16.

Aurixsauriv: <font color="#0">(( :16 ))

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#000000">&quot;It is comparitive to being dunked in a vat of acid, actualy.&quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#000000">&quot;To the bacteria.&quot;

Sandor Munkas:<font color="#000000">&quot;Though...&quot;

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Acid? Ah, like that demon's piss that green dragon tried breathing on us five years ago.&quot;

Innkeeper:<font color="#003200">&quot;The Iodine? It's a disinfectant. I don't know all the details, but it kills stuff.&quot;

Sandor Munkas:<font color="#000000">&quot;Iodine? But that isn't white.&quot;

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Iodine, is it?&quot;

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Damn, forgot to reimpersonate.

Sandor Munkas:<font color="#000000">&quot;Purplish stuff.. you make it by mixing oil of vitriol with seaweed ashes.&quot;

Behter:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Well, it HAS been a while...&quot;

Innkeeper: <font color="#3200">(( :16 at :18. Ayup. Lag. ))

Innkeeper:<font color="#003200">&quot;The doctors would know much more then I do.&quot;

Sandor Munkas:<font color="#000000">&quot;Becoming a big thing now that one of those doctors claimed it banishes pus better than alcohol does *nod*&quot;

Behter:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Wouldn't want to drink iodine, though.&quot;

Sandor Munkas:<font color="#000000">&quot;Me neither. It tastes vile.&quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#000000">&quot;Though it is good for you.&quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#000000">&quot;Mix it with salt, you'll hardly notice.&quot;

Sandor Munkas:<font color="#000000">&quot;So's some honest spirit.&quot;

Sandor Munkas:<font color="#000000">&quot;Though, back to this 'bacteria' of yours.&quot;

Sandor Munkas:<font color="#000000">&quot;How small are they supposed to be? I mean, I have never seen one.&quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#000000">&quot;No.&quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#000000">&quot;And without magic and a microscope, you won't.&quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#000000">&quot;They are so small that you cannot percieve their existence.&quot;

Sandor Munkas:<font color="#000000">&quot;It seems odd, too. I mean, if water's bad because of them swimming in it, you could strain it through a sieve.&quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#000000">&quot;Actually.&quot;

Behter:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;So, smaller than this guy's chance of scoring tonight?&quot;

Behter:<font color="#CC6600">*gestures at Sandor*

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#000000">&quot;It's most likely bad from the animal feces in the water...&quot;

Sandor Munkas:<font color="#000000">&quot;But everyone knows that even if you use fine cloth to strain filthy water, you'll shit your guts out&quot;

Behter:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Well, that's no good. Who put them in there?&quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#000000">&quot;Water animals most likely.&quot;

Sandor Munkas:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yeah. And why are you drinking them, then?&quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#000000">&quot;Beavers, ducks...&quot;

Roland: <font color="#6666">(( hydras ))

Sandor Munkas:<font color="#000000">&quot;Nobody shit in my ale, as far as I'm concerned.&quot;

Behter:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;They say a newt in water means it's clean. I'm not convinced. Do they get out to go to the privy?&quot;

Sandor Munkas:<font color="#000000">*snerk* &quot;Good one&quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#000000">&quot;Newts don't breathe the same way we do.&quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#000000">&quot;They absorb some oxygen by mouth breathing, but also some from the water through their skin.&quot;

Behter:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Bet they crap the same.&quot;

Behter:<font color="#CC6600">Or do they just hold it in until they explode?&quot;

Sandor Munkas:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yeah.Got an arse and all that.&quot;

Sandor Munkas:<font color="#000000">&quot;Shit comes in, shit comes out. Basic law of nature.&quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#000000">&quot;I think it's the same reason fish feces don't cause it.&quot;

Behter:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Yeah. Drinking alcohol.&quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#000000">&quot;Newts and fish don't eat the food that carries the disentery.&quot;

Sandor Munkas:<font color="#000000">&quot;Maybe ...&quot;

Behter:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Hm. I know that Gold-eyes over there is a Wizard. What are the rest of you? For my part, I'm a Horde scout - skirmisher, good with bow and sabre and able to fight from horseback.&quot;

Sandor Munkas:<font color="#000000">&quot;Maybe those 'bacteria' of yours just feed on the bad miasma of sick water.&quot;

Sandor Munkas:<font color="#000000">&quot;You know, kinda like dung beetle feeds on shit.&quot;

Behter:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Hey, they grow in dirty water, right? Maybe they plant themselves in the Earth.&quot;

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">(and they were doing so well...)

Sandor Munkas:<font color="#000000">&quot;Who knows.&quot;

Flaal:<font color="#006666">&quot;I'm insignificant by profession. My friend here is a card shark.&quot;

Sandor Munkas:<font color="#000000">&quot;Anyways, I'm an chemist and a mage.&quot;

Flaal:<font color="#006666">&quot;That too.&quot; ;)

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#000000">&quot;It's not all bacteria....&quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#000000">&quot;Just the disentery bacteria.&quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#000000">&quot;Most of tthem are really useful.&quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#000000">&quot;Like the ones in your intestines.&quot;

Behter:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Mage, eh? Good, better to have one. I know that the giant sword means she uses it. Any others I'll be fighting with?&quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#000000">&quot;A catfolk who likes to fence when she's awake.&quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#000000">&quot;And another sorcerer.&quot;

Behter:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Fence... you mean with a rapier, right?&quot;

Kiera:<font color="#003399">No. A bastard sword.

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#000000">&quot;No.&quot;

Kiera:<i><font color="#003399">Yes, she fences with that thing.

</i>Aurixsauriv:<font color="#000000">&quot;Bigger.&quot;

Sandor Munkas:<font color="#000000">&quot;No, she sells stuff.&quot;

Sandor Munkas:<font color="#000000">&quot;Fence, yanno&quot;

Behter:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Which is it?&quot;

Sandor Munkas:<font color="#000000">&quot;Kidding.There's a halfling that does that.. or is he a gnome?.&quot;

Behter:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Right, I think I see where I'm going to be. All over the place. You know people never guard themselves against where the enemy isn't?&quot;

Behter:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Harder to aim at someone on the move, too.&quot;

Sandor Munkas:<font color="#000000">&quot;Anyways. . . no way there's any 'bacteria' in the guts, if you said rum kills them.&quot;

Sandor Munkas:<font color="#000000">&quot;Well, it'd be dumb of them, if they didn't gurd against where the enemy was.&quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#000000">HUZZAH.

Sandor Munkas:<font color="#000000">&quot;Kinda like how anything you look for is in the last place you look at, because otherwise you'd just have found it earlier.&quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#000000">External hard drive found!

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

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#000000">&quot;Rum kills the ones responsible for disentery.&quot;

Behter:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Yeah, and that's how Subedai managed to wipe out two armies in five days. When there's thirty thousand hordesmen on horses, they can go where they're not VERY fast.&quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#000000">&quot;And alcohol, the stuff that kills them, doesn't go to the intestines.&quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#000000">&quot;After it hits the stomach, it goes into the blood.&quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#000000">&quot;Then into the liver.&quot;

Sandor Munkas:<font color="#000000">&quot;How, doesn't go? You drink it, it goes through.&quot;

Sandor Munkas:<font color="#000000">&quot;'s why someone can get the shits from too much bad ale.&quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#000000">&quot;Nooo.&quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#000000">&quot;Someone becomes drunk because there is too much alcohol in the blood for the liver to deal with.&quot;

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">(today on Skylands: the Germ Theory of Disease!)

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#000000">&quot;And causes brain damage.&quot;

Behter:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;I thought it was rubbish slingstones that caused brain damage.&quot;

Sandor Munkas:<font color="#000000">&quot;But when you get drunk it's your head spinning, not your liver. Liver's in the gut, just look when you open up a pig or what.&quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#000000">&quot;Both doo.&quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#000000">&quot;You are not understanding.&quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#000000">&quot;You only get drunk because there is -too much- alcohol for the liver to consume.&quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#000000">&quot;And when it gets to your brain, it damages it.&quot;

Sandor Munkas:<font color="#000000">&quot;So the liver's like a tax collector.&quot;


 * Flaal just smiles and nods

Roland: <font color="#6666">(( I believe he is speaking in the language of &quot;low int score&quot; ))

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#000000">&quot;That causes lessened inhibitions and other such things.&quot;

Sandor Munkas:<font color="#000000">&quot;Takes most of what you drink for itself, and leaves the head with the scraps.&quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#000000">&quot;It does the same with sugars and other stuff.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">Who's speaking in the language of low int?

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#000000">You.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Behter's quite smart. He's just being expected to absorb 1500 years of scientific progress in one meal.

VAE:<font color="#000000">XD Not really. Sandor's got high int, it's just he's never heard of this stuff before, and it does seem against common sense.

Innkeeper: <font color="#3200">(( Hah. ))

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">And, you know, there's a reason people used to believe the old stuff - it was consistent.

VAE:<font color="#000000">In cases like that, being smart makes it harder.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Because you won't take whatever some wiseass is peddlling without thinking about it

Roland: <font color="#6666">(( you would think the kobald from a jungle knows it, its probably also in a book somewhere ))

VAE:<font color="#000000">Hence, someone else borrowing it would only find the contents of their head

Behter:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;So, does unholy water just have a lot of these bacterias?&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">It also explains the occassional check fail.

Sandor Munkas:<font color="#000000">&quot;Though. . . you can't fix unholy water with alcohol, can you?&quot;

Behter:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;And how is it that spells that purify water also make food unrot?&quot;

Sandor Munkas:<font color="#000000">&quot;If you had a defiled well, the inquisitors have to go deal with it.&quot;

Behter:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;I know we're stereotyped to love the things, but after fifteen years I'd just about reached the end of my tether. They die to ANYTHING.&quot;

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">The most epic scale paycheck scam I've seen in fiction was probably the one from the Generals books. There was supposed to be 10,000 troops in Sandoral - there were really 2,000, of which only about 500 were being PAID.

Arcalane:<font color="#003399">let me guess, they said 'bugger this' and wandered off

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Not likely, they didn't have a hope of escaping.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">And for added fun, Tzetzas the corrupt chancellor (who had spent four books basically without getting any comeuppance) then had to explain himself directly to the Emperor.

Meany:<font color="#000000">Kiera for implausible fencing skills.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Because he'd also CAUSED the war in the first place, by shorting the tribute epically.

Ganti:<font color="#003200">Okay, I did not see anything after nomming the inkeep for tankard of rum, which is mostly me being a Teatotaler.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Incoming...

Arcalane:<font color="#003399">She really does fence with the bastard sword, by the way. She has a normal rapier as backup, but the BFS is magical so it gets preference.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Flaal: xD VAE: that was unexpected and amusing Saphroneth: &quot;What's one of these bacteriums? I've never seen one&quot; - Sandor Meany: I second Sandor and Espada noms. On the count of &quot;county invasion&quot; &quot;shot down.&quot; VAE: and provided Sandor with two full canteens. Sharpshot4321: spada licks anyone who she likes. Just got to avoid that Saphroneth: Yeah, the licking was fun too. Complete and total 180 inside five minutes. Arcalane: Careful, or she'll sit on you too. Meany: &quot;Sit on my face, and tell me that you love me~&quot; Saphroneth: I thought &quot;ten languages? There aren't that many.&quot; was funny. VAE: XD Ganti: That's mostly me being a teatotaller... Saphroneth: And then he started counting. In my mind, it was on his fingers. VAE: Yep, totally.

Arcalane:<font color="#003399">mechanically speaking the rapier has a tighter damage range, but the BFS has a higher potential maximum and slightly greater accuracy :b

VAE:<font color="#000000">Speaking of comeuppance

VAE:<font color="#000000">I still liked more what Vlad Taltos did to his superior.

Meany:<font color="#000000">Any Sau noms?

Ganti: <font color="#3200">(( You got one. ))

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">There was the whole Germ Theory one, I thought.

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">I nommed that.

Ganti:<font color="#003200">Anyway, going once...

Ganti:<font color="#003200">Going twice...

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">There's also the bit where he seemed to respond to the mental monologue of someone they hadn't met yet.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Tryuying to explain germ theory, and failing

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">(i.e. saying that alcohol in this weather was a bad idea, when Behter thought of it...)

Meany:<font color="#000000">Did I?

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

Meany:<font color="#000000">No quote marks, no ic.

Meany:<font color="#000000">That was me warning ye.

VAE:<font color="#000000">THe character failed because it isn't so easy.

Meany:<font color="#000000">(:3

VAE:<font color="#000000">The two involved had their own ideas, see.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Well, there is mention of a tavern beforehand, but it certainly LOOKS like he's responding to Behter.

VAE:<font color="#000000">you did well, anyways

VAE:<font color="#000000">Ohh, that

Ganti:<font color="#003200">... And gone! This sessions Noms: Sau: 1 Roland: Kiera: &#16;Espada:4 Sandor: 4 Flaal: Bether:2 Blair: Mardak: Inkeep: 1 GM noms: Bether for &quot;Retirement? No thank you.&quot; AKA Mongolian Sargant Fred Colins.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Heh.


 * VAE had too much fun with this. Last time he got to go about with obsolete theories was Kallis in HC

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">So, that means... 3 AP?


 * VAE enjoys the hell out of it, because the theories are actually fairly consistent and have explanatory power.

Ganti:<font color="#003200">Ayup. Three AP.

Ganti:<font color="#003200">Which can be burned to add 1d6 to a d20 roll, or saved in the hopes of getting a hundred.


 * Ganti might also yoink Rail's 'shopping list'.

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">That means you can roll over 20

VAE:<font color="#000000">and get supercritical :3

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Right, that done?

Ganti:<font color="#003200">Okay, current AP is, I belive: Sau: 27 Roland:17 Kiera: 17 Espada:18 Sandor:5 Flaal: 1 Behter: 3 Blair: 4 Gomez?: 1 Gonzolez?!: 1 Inkeep?!: 1 Dr. Seamus:6 Kasnok:22 Althilmil:27 Sera: 29 Mardak : 2

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

Arcalane:<font color="#003399">mm

Ganti:<font color="#003200">Okay, campaign actually saved this time, and I need someone to save me a chatlog, as if I tried we'd just get noms.

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">session number?

Arcalane:<font color="#003399">saved, aaaaaand..

Ganti:<font color="#003200">Probably 14.

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">saved, and will slap it on the wiki

Ganti:<font color="#003200">Thankies.

Arcalane:<font color="#003399">up on the drive as well

Ganti:<font color="#003200">Righto.

Meany:<font color="#000000">Also.

Meany:<font color="#000000">Women.

Meany:<font color="#000000">I must ask this of you.

Ganti:<font color="#003200">Aye?

Meany:<font color="#000000">Who will hold the loot disk?

Arcalane:<font color="#003399">I count 13 but I probably missed a couple of logs

Arcalane:<font color="#003399">I have a spreadsheet

Meany:<font color="#000000">Now that both hatari and lia have bailed out?

Arcalane:<font color="#003399">but it is empty

Arcalane:<font color="#003399">because we have no loot

Meany:<font color="#000000">Rob the rich, you say.

Meany:<font color="#000000">Let's get on that.

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


 * Ganti is still dissapointed Lia had to bail...

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

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Drop horses on the rich, until they give up.

Meany:<font color="#000000">Nationalize?

Meany:<font color="#000000">Pfft.

Sharpshot4321:<font color="#006666">you stop? Wuss

Meany:<font color="#000000">We're robbing them because they're weak.

Bone Rat Swarm:<font color="#003200">That's pointless. We eat them because they're weak.

Arcalane:<font color="#003399">oh wait, it's not -quite- empty but I haven't really updated it to account for the gemcutting costs

Arcalane:<font color="#003399">we have about 800-odd gp of shinies to sell then I guess

Arcalane:<font color="#003399">assuming the cutting cost was 300-odd

VAE:<font color="#000000">Get money

VAE:<font color="#000000">get cash

VAE:<font color="#000000">get money

VAE:<font color="#000000">get a stash

Ganti:<font color="#003200">Sounds about right.

Arcalane:<font color="#003399">1,100-and-change - 300 = 800-ish

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">I make arrows. It is a useful skill. It's also my number... eight? Nine? skill. This means that I could buy X amount of materials, make arrows, sell 2/3. 1/3 for the cost of the materials, 1/3 for the profit, 1/3 for use.

Ganti:<font color="#003200">So, that laptop/netbook thing should be charged now. See you in IRC.

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