VAE:see anything?

VAE:or better say, see properly?

Saphroneth:I can see not much, but it seems to be a mine and people and vision-limited.

Saphroneth:So working right.

VAE:kew;

Liatai has connected.

Techubi has connected.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Mind if I give Crystal a light source briefly so I can edit her token? :3

Techubi:<font color="#CC0000">Hey.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Strange thing. We are &quot;secret police&quot; but not particularly secretIVE. You could probably track us across a continent by checking hospitals for groin inury reports, for example.

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

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">that's a thing of remark.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Basically this is the external division.. i.e. less secret and more &quot;you don't want to mess with&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">Liatai was doing it about right with crystal


 * VAE was reading stuff on organisation of real OKHRANA in imperial russia

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Ah, the wet-works guys. Much like how James Bond isn't a spy - instead he goes around drifting late model Soviet tanks in car chases.

VAE:<font color="#000000">internal division..almost noone knows who the agents are... kinda like Zora's boss.

VAE:<font color="#000000">He probably knows about a few of them ,and that makes him kinda ... private?

VAE:<font color="#000000">Not quite James Bond... think more the sort of guys who come for you in dark leather overcoats..Crystal got even the dress right

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">either way, roll call.

Crystal:<font color="#000000">This is wool, thank you very much. :P It's cold up here in the north country.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Here!

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Present! s are given out by Saint Nicholas in a little under a month.


 * VAE rofls

VAE:<font color="#000000">Techcubi?

VAE:<font color="#000000">Also.. remember folks the additional +50 XP on missed nominations that was given out to Karis and TC?

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">I added it in, yeah.

VAE:<font color="#000000">oneth:Night. Additional nominations carried through in chat: +50 XP Karis - The slime, it menaces. +50 XP Voltarus - YOU BIG EBIL BULLY CRIMINAL 1!111!

Techubi:<font color="#CC0000">Let's start.

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">*Primal* Unlike in some platformers, this bat is not a convenient way of resupplying health in a dungeon!

Liatai:<font color="#000000">So teeny. x3

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Past that into Demeeenuteeve.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">May we equip light sources? If so, what strength?

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">Either way.. last time on Le Chevalier (or Cheval ?) D'Kebre, the special investigations team finally found out something about the mine messup,and at the prompt of the smiley mining engineer apparently suffering from black lung, decided to investigate a tunnel that has been closed down earlier, and that suddenly appears longer than it used to.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Something smells fishy... must be last night's Smorgasbord.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Also, thanks for leaving the campaign properties from the box room, GM :3

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">You did requisition lights - equip the Lamp thingy.

VAE:<font color="#000000">well, I made the box room into the same map file

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">What about teh bat?

VAE:<font color="#000000">so it's kinda like doing nothing

VAE:<font color="#000000">The bat.. you got echolocation

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Well, it's still handy, so thank you. :3

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Okay, yeah, I have Darkvision set up.

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

Techubi:<font color="#CC0000">Felines have low light vision.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">I see we are accompanied by t Mining Enginee.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">t? y.

Smiley Mining Engineer:<font color="#000000">&quot;Either way.. we just go up, then back down at the junction.. a few more metres. Bloody hell.. I wonder why is it longer.. I mean, who'd dig in there, and when?!&quot;

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">The nametag's so big it goes into the walls on either side. That's got to be a hazard...

VAE:<font color="#000000">Let's see... felines do have lowlight

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">You are still far better equipping a lamp, i think

Liatai:<font color="#000000">-- aw crud, what was the mining engineer's name? XD

VAE:<font color="#000000">am a tiredlynx, so am not sure , but suspect so

VAE:<font color="#000000">Jelena Berezovskaja

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


 * Voltarus equips Lamp.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Thank you. x3

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">*ping enemy with 32 bytes of data*... request timed out

VAE:<font color="#000000">Also, is likely accompanying you.. but likely won't be that useful. I mean, her HP is 7, due to an extremely odd set of stats

Liatai:<font color="#000000">What class is she? -- Never mind, that would be metagaming.

VAE:<font color="#000000">either way, not much in this branch.. best advance. This isn't too long a dungeon either


 * VAE facepaws. All engineers are druids or archivist

VAE:<font color="#000000">Soften stone, and later ironwood

VAE:<font color="#000000">that's what they do

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Ah. Nifty.

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">*Totally inoccuous... don't mind me... Hide « &#160;1d20+19 = 9 + 19 = 28&#160; <font color="#CC6600">»

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;So, we just explore, until we find an end?&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">(unless there's much chatting to do, y'all may just advance towards the junction upwards

VAE:<font color="#000000">(there's not much in this.. this is the branch that you came down from originally0

VAE:<font color="#000000">but there wasn't a map then.. it was all RP'd

Crystal:<font color="#000000">&quot;So it seems. And hopefully some answers.&quot; ^^

Crystal:<font color="#000000">&quot;Coming, Michail?&quot;

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Hey, that's interesting. I have a partial penumbra of (poor light), then the shading lightens again for my Darkvision. So I see worse when things are 15-30 feet away, presumably.

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">Anyways - Karis sees the junction.. to his right (?) is the other, descending path with a sign RECONSTRUCTION IN PROGRESS, and the track lever is locked not to allow sending carriages there. Forwards lies the exit from the tunnels.

Michail:<font color="#000000">Michail has to bend to walk in the tunnel

Michail:<font color="#000000">&quot;Was not in a mine for.. what, two years now?&quot;


 * Firo chirps in Morse. &quot;(See anything?)&quot; :o

Michail:<font color="#000000">&quot;Much better work at the organization.. am not having to bend over all the time.&quot;

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">I was in other people's houses more recently than I was in mine. (Thought shield, no peeking!)

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">-No, nothing yet.-

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;Well, while we're walking...&quot;

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">-Rat-

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;Chi chii chirpity chiiii?&quot;

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">Either way,.. Karis sees a sizable population of rats

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">-Rats!-

Crystal:<font color="#000000">&quot;Have you ever been down this way, Jelena?&quot;

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;Rats?&quot;

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">Some of them are nibbiling on remains of miners' food.. and various hard to identify things.

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;K-- the bat says rats.&quot; :o

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">Karis did not know you spoke Morse, Voltarus.

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">(Right, right, Morse...)

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;The bat says we have rats?&quot;

Smiley Mining Engineer:<font color="#000000">&quot;Well... I was down here.. as I said.... back when we were digging it a few times&quot;

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">And is, of course, unable to speak normally in his Chiropteran form.


 * Firo sees a rat. :9

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Look closer.

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;Oh, hey, look, we do.&quot;

Smiley Mining Engineer:<font color="#000000">&quot;But that- Oh bloody hell... what a ton of rats. Bloody miners.&quot;


 * Firo looks hungry. :9

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">This is an entire disney film cast worth of rats.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Quick, spot the one that can cook!

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">His palm that's not holding anything starts glowing with purple/fuchsia/energy.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Fuchsia is a bit of a fabulous colour...

Smiley Mining Engineer:<font color="#000000">&quot;See.. a lot of them throw their rubbish in.&quot;

Crystal:<font color="#000000">&quot;I see... hence the rats.&quot;

Smiley Mining Engineer:<font color="#000000">&quot;And well.. this is the result. The shaft is closed.. .but still. Eww.&quot;

Firo:<font color="#330033">&quot;Can I chase 'em?&quot; :D

Smiley Mining Engineer:<font color="#000000">&quot;Of course you can! Just.. don't get them near me...&quot;

Smiley Mining Engineer:<font color="#000000">The mining engineer isn't exactly smiley at the moment. more like disgusted.

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;Want me to fry them for you, Fironi Macaroni?&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#330033">Should I roll initiative, or just have Firo start chasing and pouncing? :B

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">We're second level. This is an actual challenge.

VAE:<font color="#000000">I guess roll init. I think these rats are a bit.. off his degree

VAE:<font color="#000000">especially the big one

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">Initiative: « &#160;1d20 + 1 = 9 + 1 = 10&#160; <font color="#CC0000">»

Very big rat:<font color="#000000">« &#160;1d20+2 = 19 + 2 = 21&#160; <font color="#000000">» One for all and all for cheese!

Liatai:<font color="#330033">Let's hope that holds true for attack rolls.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Oh, cheese!

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;Mind if I fry the fat one?&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">okay, yo uare all in initiative

VAE:<font color="#000000">set your values in

Liatai:<font color="#330033">Ack, cat.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">I should be just below Firo.

VAE:<font color="#000000">you know that once you are in the table you can set in the values?

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">I do now.

VAE:<font color="#000000">when ya done, i'll autosort it

Techubi:<font color="#CC0000">Volt's.

VAE:<font color="#000000">wait, when did he lose some?

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">It heals at 1hp per level per day.

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

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">Either way, you apparently pissed the rats off, likely by disturbing their feeding. Remember Kor?

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Er... don't think so.

VAE:<font color="#000000">*sigh* gotta remember only one person here plays Akellon asides from me

Big Rat:<font color="#000000">*SQUEAK*


 * Firo speaks with a mouthful of rat. &quot;Numminesh!&quot; :9

VAE:<font color="#000000">I think DnD always rounds down

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Well, at least I did an okay amount of damage in aggregate.

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

Michail:<font color="#000000">Michail... has kinda trouble fitting in. Literally

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Hmm, idea. A STR drain spell or something, modified to be over an area. Epic level spell: Knees Turn To Water!

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Oh, strange. So it's set to GM-only or something?

Liatai:<font color="#330033">Do you have it set to NPC? :.

VAE:<font color="#000000">shouldn't be

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">I can see everyone's data except Voltarus'.

VAE:<font color="#000000">he has still Basic properties

Liatai:<font color="#330033">If so, just switch to Party NPC. Problem solved, no stat loss. :3

Liatai:<font color="#330033">Ohh.

Liatai:<font color="#330033">Ah well, that can be sorted out later. Sorry. It's Voltarus' turn. :3

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">Hand glows.

VAE:<font color="#000000">heh.. looking in retrospect, should have applied Kondraki's rule to the rats too

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">(A spell-like ability like Eldritch blast is a ranged attack, right?)


 * VAE knew he was forgetting something

VAE:<font color="#000000">Depends on the ability

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;Are you implying you can actually help?&quot;

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

Crystal:<font color="#330033">Yes, that will do quite nicely. All rats in that spread must make a DC 14 Will save as the cat picks a pinch of sand from her pocket -- and suddenly, a blast of colors springs forth!

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">I was starting to think we were in Power Rangers or something, what with gigantic versions of monsters and all.

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;What did you just use?&quot;

 * Firo peers at the fractured tube. « &#160;1d20+3 = 15 + 3 = 18&#160;  » Search, «  &#160;1d20+7 = 2 + 7 = 9&#160;  » Spot. What's in there? :.

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;So, who wants to be the one to divy it up?&quot;

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">The tube seems to contain some a bit drier slime.. but it's different colour to the stuff you seen on the floor and everywhere.

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;If it's done properly, the result shouldn't matter.&quot;

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">There also seems to be a hint of other chemicals.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Don't look at a gift horse's teeth ? XD

VAE:<font color="#000000">Clearly bad advice

Drayco:<font color="#6600CC">I've never understood that saying...

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;So, let's see...Me, bear boy, snake tongue girl, Firo, the fox, if she wants it, annndddd you.&quot;

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Side note - in English the idiom is usually &quot;look a gift horse in the mouth&quot;, though yes, it refers to checking the teeth. Another one of those language differences.

Drayco:<font color="#6600CC">Supposedly, you can tell a horse's age by checking their teeth.

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

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">It comes from looking at the teeth of a horse you have been given as a gift in order to see how good a quality it is, yes. It's sort of ungrateful, as it IS a gift. At least wait until the person leaves...

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;We should be able to identify him from his dental records, perhaps... or his wife might identify the ring, if we can find her. Are there many equines who work in the mines, Jelena?&quot; Making a connection, but not ready to say it yet...

VAE:<font color="#000000">in other words, if you got it as gift, don't give shit about quality

Drayco:<font color="#6600CC">So, somebody gives you a horse, why WOULDN'T you check its age...

VAE:<font color="#000000">it was free

VAE:<font color="#000000">It's a statement of pragmatism

Smiley Mining Engineer:<font color="#000000">Uh... I can't quite recall

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">It's an idiom, and intended to refer to the broader sense of not appearing obviously ungrateful.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Geez, it's not Int Check Day, is it?

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

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;Why don't we let the fox girl divy up the coin?&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">it's the idiot ball day

Drayco:<font color="#6600CC">Dice int check! « &#160;1d20+4 = 3 + 4 = 7&#160; <font color="#6600CC">»

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

Drayco:<font color="#6600CC">O_O

Liatai:<font color="#330033">Bwaha. XD

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

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">They've got it Int for us today.

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;Or, maybe we could do it later...&quot;

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;I think once we've recovered the ability to count past ten would be a good idea.&quot;


 * Firo smells a rat! :9

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">rat?

VAE:<font color="#000000">is there one?

Liatai:<font color="#330033">Under Firo's token, there's a hungry rat. o.o

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">On Firo's space.

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

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

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;Maybe I should check if the Fungus has anything useful, like, maybe something in or on it's body?&quot;

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">That was a full-on success


 * Firo is now holding a rat. :3

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">Search check on Fungus: « &#160;1d20 = 3 = 10&#160; <font color="#CC0000">»

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">*+3

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">It might make for a good fry-up with eggs

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Those would be big eggs.

Firo:<font color="#330033">&quot;I found a rat! An' there's something slimy in the tubes.&quot;

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">Arcana check on slime = « &#160;1d20 + 7 = 4 + 7 = 11&#160; <font color="#CC0000">»

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Yep, that's slime.&quot;

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;Shut up.&quot;

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">Ookay.. you can just about tell it has a similar reading to the stuff around y'all

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">« &#160;1d20+6 = 14 + 6 = 20&#160; <font color="#CC6600">»

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">Arcana woo.

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;You honestly think it's JUST slime?&quot;

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Well, no.&quot;

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">Well,Karis has definitely confirmed it

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">Unreacted slime

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">Do.Not.Touch

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">But try dropping a pebble

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;It's fresh, unreacted.&quot;


 * Voltarus drops a pebble.

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">*Mythbusters time!*

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">Ever amused yourself by dripping water on an electric stove's plate? No? You mean you aren't me? Well... either way, that's what the rock does, leaving just a small patch of the same colour that you see all around

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;Interesting. And a definite sign of potential sabotage.&quot;

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;True. Though I wonder what's in the two crushed ones...&quot;

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">Takes Hyphae.

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Those are a bit hyphae'd up. They're not as good as they sound.&quot;

Crystal:<font color="#330033">A sample of hyphae, and more searching...

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;Whatever.&quot;

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">Ookay.. you find the remains of the same sort of slime inside... you probably haven't seen a device like this ever and most of it has dissolved, but the parts that remained show that something was clearly sealed in those cylinders, and there's a grid at the bottom which leads to the hoses and.. something looking like the remains of an air pump. Now since Crystal poked a bit further.. in the mass of destroyed mechanisms, you can see a small crystal, however, it appears cracked.

Crystal:<font color="#330033">The cat's eyes glow dark violet for a moment. Let's get some Detect Magic going on that crystal.

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">You feel some emanations from there.. a very specific sort .. Arcana check?

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;What are you looking at?&quot;

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Some kind of crystal. Which means she's the specialist.&quot;

Crystal:<font color="#330033">Knowledge (arcana) « &#160;1d20+4 = 12 + 4 = 16&#160; <font color="#330033">», Spellcraft «  &#160;1d20+4 = 12 + 4 = 16&#160; <font color="#330033">»

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;..sorry.&quot;

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;Huh? I don't get it.&quot; Remember, alias. :P

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

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;Can I see it?&quot;


 * Crystal says nothing, still looking over the crystal. Though she's certainly not going to let Voltarus touch it.

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Tell you what, shall I go and have a look ahead a bit? Make sure we don't run into anything?&quot;

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">Okay.. (Since you are familiar with OSaS, and my theory, this is OK) What you are looking at is basically the crystal &quot;needle&quot; that you spin a soulstone on top of when you are draining it. A low-grade soulstone, likely just containing a weak being, but still.. this is the sort of technology not seen in Kebre often these days.

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;Hello, Warlock here? What, you don't think I could help?&quot;

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;...&quot; Crystal puts on a pair of gloves, then extricates the crystal from the machinery carefully. &quot;... a soulstone.&quot;

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">*Fwoof* Batness.

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">Not a soulstone.. a part of the assembly

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;Or at least, an amplifier.&quot;


 * VAE just wasn't sure if he explained it right

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;Come on, LET. ME. SEE. IT.&quot;

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">Can I use intimidate?


 * VAE realised Crystal could be confused

Crystal:<font color="#330033">I wouldn't recommend it.

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">Or, intimidate check?

Crystal:<font color="#330033">The cat carefully wraps the crystal in a cloth, then puts it in a pouch.

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">Sighs.

VAE:<font color="#000000">you can

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;FINE, don't come to me with my knowledge of the arcane.&quot;

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">Oh.

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">Intimidate: « &#160;1d20 + 7 = 6 + 7 = 13&#160; <font color="#CC0000">»


 * VAE finds it amusing. And it's done in Akellon

Crystal:<font color="#330033">« &#160;1d20+8 = 11 + 8 = 19&#160; <font color="#330033">»

VAE:<font color="#000000">Just. NO

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">*Furre*

Crystal:<font color="#330033">The cat just looks coldly over her glasses at the warlock in a classic librarian stare.

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;It looks like the tunnel just ends over here. This could be as far as they got... though it doesn't explain where that hole between the tunnels came from. Perhaps the source for the slime escaped?&quot;

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;Fine, be that way.&quot;

Firo:<font color="#330033">&quot;Maybe.&quot;

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;Are soulstones in common use in the machinery around here, Jelena?&quot; The cat is careful to keep her tone neutral.

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;Are you SURE this is the end of the tunnel?&quot;

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;I didn't see it go any further, and I pinged the walls.&quot;

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">You do indeed see a small tunnel in the direction of where you came from..

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">PInging walls helped

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">Small.. well, about the same size as the other one, that led you here

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Oh - though the side tunnel's there, what I meant was that we don't know what made it.&quot;

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">There are also a few more tunnels extending in different dirrectons, several of them appear to have collapsed

Liatai:<font color="#330033">Testing, are my lines getting through? ^^;

Smiley Mining Engineer:<font color="#000000">&quot;I .. don't think we do. I have read about these ... you know, one of the books about history..&quot;

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

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;The word 'infestation' comes to mind.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">oit's just the GM who is slow

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">And yes, Lia.

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

Liatai:<font color="#330033">Whew. ^^

Smiley Mining Engineer:<font color="#000000">&quot; I mean.. stones like this.. they are quite the expense.. besides, we power our machinery via waterwheels and such. Also.. where'd you get the souls?&quot;

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;Judging from the size of the spindle, the soul used was likely a being. Perhaps even our equine friend here.&quot; She nods to the corpse. &quot;Unlikely, but possible.&quot;

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;Can I please see the crystal? Does 'Please' help?&quot;

Smiley Mining Engineer:<font color="#000000">&quot;Beats me.. I'm not an expert..&quot;

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;It would be better if there was minimal handling of the evidence.&quot;

Crystal:<font color="#330033">That's a 'no' or at least a 'not yet,' Voltarus.

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;Whatever.&quot;

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;Maybe I should go see if those dead rats ate anything interesting, or whatever.&quot;

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;Since we can't go any farther, shall we focus on getting the body up to the surface?&quot;


 * Firo puts his captured rat on his shoulder. :3

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;I don't have anything related to movement, I'm afraid. Does anyone have a sheet or something we could carry the body on?&quot;

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Well, when I say we, I mean mainly Michail.&quot;

Firo:<font color="#330033">&quot;.. I got a blanket... just a minute.&quot;

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">Search check on Jerry rat= « &#160;1d20 + 3 = 19 + 3 = 22&#160; <font color="#CC0000">»

Smiley Mining Engineer:<font color="#000000">The engineer is still thinking


 * Firo takes a winter blanket out of his messenger's pack.

Smiley Mining Engineer:<font color="#000000">&quot;See .. .the bit I read.. apparently they used some juggernauts powered by them in the battle of Taun hill... where our governor defeated the forked river cossacks for the last time... &quot;

Smiley Mining Engineer:<font color="#000000">&quot;It's.. to the west of where Zalmar is now.. &quot;

Smiley Mining Engineer:<font color="#000000">&quot;A fascinating story... but the point is.. you power things with it that can't be turned by a water wheel, or by sails..&quot;


 * Crystal pulls her cloak up over her head while listening to the history lesson. :.

Smiley Mining Engineer:<font color="#000000">&quot;And it has to be worth it, too.&quot;

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">Anything of interest on or in jerry/Satiated rat?

Liatai:<font color="#330033">Oh, right. Question. Crystal probably would have noticed this, but... how long has the horse been dead, about? ^^;

Smiley Mining Engineer:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hee! I see you are interested.. see... the technology back then was nowhere as advanced as now.&quot;

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

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">It's a rat.

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;The governor? You mean the governor leading the militia, or just the governor by himself?&quot; :.

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">Also.. he has been heavily messed up by the fungus ,but knowing that, and knowing that whoever came in must have introduced it somehow, it's a few months at most

Smiley Mining Engineer:<font color="#000000">&quot;Haha! The governor by himself.. Arazi Taun... he was a man of battle!&quot;

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;Impressive!&quot; ^^

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;HMmmmmmmmm.....&quot;

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;I presume that we can actually check when this helmet was last issued to find out an upper bound on how long ago he died.&quot;

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;A sound idea.&quot;

Smiley Mining Engineer:<font color="#000000">&quot;Apparently, the wolf-weres were raiding the villages in kebre.. that's where the were-wolf myth comes from.&quot;

Smiley Mining Engineer:<font color="#000000">&quot;So.. the governor gathered up this massive army... pushed them back before they could organise... however, then, once the tribes got set up for any meaningful cooperation... the tide of the war turned.&quot;

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;Alright, you know that one slippery rat back there?&quot;

Smiley Mining Engineer:<font color="#000000">&quot;Believe me.. you don't want to fight a were close up.. and they had no guns back then, either...&quot;

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;...yes?&quot;

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;Apparently, it was messed up by the fungus.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">What rat?


 * VAE facepaws

VAE:<font color="#000000">but this... it works so well for Volt

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">That was referring to the horse-dude.

VAE:<font color="#000000">coming in with absurd conclusions

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;I believe it.&quot;

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;When I got 'messed up' by the fungus, it nearly took my head off! How would a tiny little rat survive?&quot;

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">In the meantime.. i assume you are coming out, and that Michail is carrying the corpse out.

Techubi:<font color="#CC0000">He has a WIS of 5, not an INT of 5.

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">Map switch while i let the engineer babble? I have all other NPCs elsewhere

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">K.

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">that is, if you aren't too bored by her being a history buff, apparently

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Er, K/

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Nah. I'm thinking about Pike and shot, now.

Liatai:<font color="#330033">Go ahead, babble away. :3

VAE:<font color="#000000">that should have mapswitched you

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">It did.

VAE:<font color="#000000">it's just the neutral enviroment that's used for general chats

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;So, presumably, the advent of Pike and Shot tactics broke the power of the old Were clans to raid at will because it stopped their Primal forms getting too close?&quot;

Smiley Mining Engineer 1:<font color="#000000">&quot;Better than that! It was pretty much the result of this battle..&quot;

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;And, of course, it meant that the militia forces could be formed of the entire populace...&quot;

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;So this also broke any other clans, or were the Wolf the only big one in the area?

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">Sighs.

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;Hey, Firo?&quot;

Smiley Mining Engineer 1:<font color="#000000">&quot;Well, there were other clans.. there are some left.. but they were smaller, and generally just kept to their cattle.&quot;

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;How long ago was this battle? I wonder if Mr. Taun is still alive. You know creatures' lifespans.&quot; ^^

Firo:<font color="#330033">&quot;Yeah?&quot;

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;...&quot;

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Most creatures. Were, not so much. Kind of strange, really.&quot;

Smiley Mining Engineer 1:<font color="#000000">&quot;And .. it's true. the advances in science did make sure that a problem like this didn't develop anymore.

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;Chi chiirrrp chirp chirp chiiiiii.&quot;

Firo:<font color="#330033">&quot;You'd like some mac an' cheese?&quot;

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;Mac and Cheese, huh?&quot;

Smiley Mining Engineer 1:<font color="#000000">&quot;Either way.... what happened is that a reinforcement for those bloody weres came from up the river... and our army which was slowly retreating, got sandwiched.

Firo:<font color="#330033">&quot;I dunno how you could think about food. That poor guy...&quot;

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;How about Chiiiirrrpp chii chii chiii Chirpity chiii?&quot;

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;They used to say that converging attacks were the perfect way to get a very good plan to go very wrong... suppose it depends on the army being trapped.&quot;

Firo:<font color="#330033">&quot;Fair winds dry the absentminded hot-head deaf revolutionary at the tailor's house?&quot;

Smiley Mining Engineer 1:<font color="#000000">&quot;Now.. that'd be bad but... well.. the weres weren't *giggle* - That's a pun, isn't it? - weren't strategists... they kept on pushing, and pushing... and the Governor and his men had nowhere to go... well.. as one of the survivors said 'We chopped and chopped.. and died.. and then there wasn't anything to chop'&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#330033">Shuffle on Winamp for the win. :B

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">what's the music

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;And, what about Chiiiirrrppp Chiii-chiiii chiii chirp chiii?&quot;

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">note to self - investigate tailor 

<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Ah, Death Ground.&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#330033">Firo's line was made up of about 6 song titles mishmashed together.

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;In Death Ground, Fight.&quot;

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;One of the oldest rules in Sun Taun's book, I think. Any army in Death Ground - that is, cut off from retreat - will fight like men possessed for lack of any other option.&quot;

Smiley Mining Engineer 1:<font color="#000000">&quot;Exactly!&quot;

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Indeed, I have heard of some generals who deliberately trapped themselves in Death Ground by burning their bridges.&quot;

Firo:<font color="#330033">&quot;On the bridge, victory for the traveller is thundery.&quot;

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;Chiiirpp chi chi chiiiiii?&quot;

Smiley Mining Engineer 1:<font color="#000000">&quot;The book says the governor himself slain the cossack's ataman in a duel, and after the battle impaled his head on the peak of the hill, giving it the name of his clan leader.&quot;

Firo:<font color="#330033">&quot;That's just gibberish.&quot;

Smiley Mining Engineer 1:<font color="#000000">&quot;The hill, not the head, i mean&quot;

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Renaming landmarks is a strange thing. I have heard of a TorPenHow hill - meaning hill hill hill hill. Each tribe checked what the previous one called it, then added their word for &quot;hill&quot; to the end of the name.&quot;

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;Chirpity chiiiiiiii.&quot;

Smiley Mining Engineer :<font color="#000000">&quot;Either way.. after this.. the army just went trhough, burning every cossack settlement they could find, and either taking or slaying their horses and cattle&quot;

Smiley Mining Engineer :<font color="#000000">&quot;As I said.. although pike and shot did help... there weren't many problems with them anymore...&quot;

Smiley Mining Engineer :<font color="#000000">&quot;Allright.. i got way too deep into this, did I?&quot;

Smiley Mining Engineer :<font color="#000000">Looks kinda ^^'

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;The army ravaged the land. A poetic saying, if dark... but yes, I suppose we did. &quot;

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">Should Voltie be paying attention to this Taun clan history lesson?

T3h GM 1:<font color="#000000">Anyways...talking, you lot arrive back to the surface.

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">Well, taun clan related?

T3h GM 1:<font color="#000000">And possibly.. it's his clan and his heroes

Smiley Mining Engineer :<font color="#000000">&quot;But as I was saying.. Juggernauts were used in this battle.. they don't do that much attack-wise, but they provided cover from all the magic.&quot;

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">Turns his attention back to the Fox. &quot;So, the Governor was a Taun?&quot;

Smiley Mining Engineer :<font color="#000000">&quot;Haha! What clan are you from? Arazi Taun was one of the most famous Taun clan members around these parts!&quot;

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;Arazi Taun?&quot;

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">Untrained knowledge check?

Smiley Mining Engineer :<font color="#000000">&quot;He even managed to impress demons with his battle skill... and by apparently never getting out of plate armour.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">well, you can do so, certainly

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">Also.. what does the rest of the party do?

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">Untrained int check= « &#160;1d20 + 3 = 13 + 3 = 16&#160; <font color="#CC0000">»

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">*heads over to check about the helmet*

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">Go to the depot.. go talk to Zora .. go talk to the militia .. go to the pub...

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">All viable choices

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">Anyways TC

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;Thank you for you help down there, Jelena.&quot;

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;Let's go return these helmets, at least.&quot;

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;And, of course, check the ledger on the recovered one.&quot;

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;I figured that was a given.&quot;

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">*grabs helmet off Voltarus*

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">Arazi Taun was a silver fox cubi that seized the governor's post by slaying his predecessor.. Ante Smrtislav, a demon from the Smrtislav clan.

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">His rule was a good time for essentially all cubi, given your clan's generally cubi-friendly policies.

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">He unfortunately expired a few months after his most famous moment recounted above, due to trying to use the souls collected for a sadly botched ascension attempt.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">...I wonder what they named the crater.

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;Ohhhh, yeaaahhhhh, Arazi. Poor guy.&quot;

Firo:<font color="#330033">&quot; --!! Michail! You're hurt!&quot; D: T3h GM:<font color="#000000">The crater? Knowledge (local) check

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">« &#160;1d20+2 = 9 + 2 = 11&#160; <font color="#CC6600">» then.

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">Anyone else?

Crystal:<font color="#330033">« &#160;1d20+5 = 3 + 5 = 8&#160; <font color="#330033">»

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">It was mainly a silly thought - given the hill got named Taun, and all.

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">let's see what Volt rolls

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">Untrained int for hill: « &#160;1d20 + 3 = 7 + 3 = 10&#160; <font color="#CC0000">»

VAE:<font color="#000000">hmm.. i'll be nice and say the DC was 10, just because this is a fun bit

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;Who knew you could screw up ascension so badly?&quot;

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">The crater.. well, it's a large, flat area of badlands. North-west. The property currently belongs to the Soulstealer family.

VAE:<font color="#000000">hmm, that said.. would anyone min a short break?

VAE:<font color="#000000">Nature is calling

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

Liatai:<font color="#330033">Not at all.


 * VAE wants to get the plot a bit further, given it's the last session this year, but well some things have to be done

VAE:<font color="#000000">at least, probably so

VAE:<font color="#000000">VAE is back


 * Liatai saves Crystal's evidence log. Cup o' slime, hyphae, soulstone spindle. :B

VAE:<font color="#000000">though, if anyone minds him going to make fresh tea and ramen?

Liatai:<font color="#330033">Go ahead. :3

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">Lynxes living on ramen. An odd sight

VAE:<font color="#000000">i guess it's the same sort of adaptation like catgirls shifting from small mammals to Pocky over several generations

VAE:<font color="#000000">also back

Liatai:<font color="#330033">Yo.

Techubi:<font color="#CC0000">Hey.

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;So, to the depot, then?&quot; *asks as the random Northern Lights that had captivated everyone for half an hour end*

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">So it is.. you arrive at the depot.. lemme find the token :3

Fedor:<font color="#000000">Welcome.

Fedor:<font color="#000000">&quot;See you are here.. to return the equipment, right?&quot;

Fedor:<font color="#000000">&quot;I like that.. gotta follow the law, isn't it?&quot;

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;We've got the helmets we signed out a short while ago, yes... and one extra. Can you tell us anything about it?&quot;

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;And some extra equipment we found. Would you care to...? Ah, I see Mr. Mumble is ahead of me.&quot; :3

Fedor:<font color="#000000">&quot;You, i remember you.. you are the &quot;Kwuts&quot; ? guy?&quot;

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;The man whose name is incomprehensible speaks the fastest. And yes.&quot;

Fedor:<font color="#000000">&quot;or was it &quot;Kwits&quot; ... you should learn to write nicer.&quot;

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;If that's how you pronounce it.&quot;

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;If I leanred to write nicer, it wouldn't be a signature.&quot;

Fedor:<font color="#000000">&quot;It's a form.. gotta sign those all squeaky-clean&quot;

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Well, then it would hardly be recognizable as mine, would it?&quot;

Fedor:<font color="#000000">&quot;Wouldn't it? Look at mine!&quot;

Fedor:<font color="#000000">The man signs himself in a way a second-grader who gets A's in Writing would.

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;I see that's more copper-plate than boilerplate.&quot;

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;Very nice and neat.&quot; ^^

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;You going to tell us about the helmet, or are you going to talk about handwriting?&quot;

Fedor:<font color="#000000">&quot;See? This is a nice signature! You! You got the right idea!&quot;

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Oh, you're no fun.&quot;

Fedor:<font color="#000000">&quot;Helmet?&quot;

Fedor:<font color="#000000">&quot;Lemme see!&quot;

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;This one.&quot;

Fedor:<font color="#000000">&quot;Where is he?&quot;

Fedor:<font color="#000000">&quot;I got a policy, you know?&quot;

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;He's taken a moment to decompose himself.&quot;

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;Yes... we found a miner who met an unfortunate end.&quot; &gt;: Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;He's a corpse.&quot;

Fedor:<font color="#000000">&quot;Well, call'im up! I mean.. he hasn't shown himself here for.. for...&quot;

Fedor:<font color="#000000">Fedor looks at the books

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Thank you, Voltarus. We were trying to break it gently.&quot;

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;He's outside if you really want to see him... but I wouldn't recommend it if you've just eaten.&quot; ^^'

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">(note: for Voltarus, read whatever name he's using. I can't recall)

Liatai:<font color="#330033">Crystal was the only one who used an alias aside from Karis, I think.

Liatai:<font color="#330033">Firo just signed the form as *splotch* because paws. :B

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Not so much an alias in my case as an asdfgh.

Liatai:<font color="#330033">True. :B

VAE:<font color="#000000">Alison lekas i think

VAE:<font color="#000000">because I found it ROFLWORTHY

Liatai:<font color="#330033">Yep, Alison Lekas for Crystal. x3

VAE:<font color="#000000">remember?

VAE:<font color="#000000">Sakel nosila

VAE:<font color="#000000">&quot;She carried a sack&quot;

Fedor:<font color="#000000">&quot;Uh.. carry the three... for precisely three months, seven days and fifteen hours!|

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;That explains the smell...&quot;

Fedor:<font color="#000000">&quot;See? What a mess.. you can't have an organisation running like that, can you? &quot;

Fedor:<font color="#000000">&quot;Pure chaos, I say! Pure chaos!&quot;

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Actually, I find that if some employees go missing it can improve efficiency... though I admit that usually their equipment is reclaimed.&quot;


 * Crystal covertly writes that down in a notebook before pocketing book and pencil alike.

Fedor:<font color="#000000">&quot;So.. why did you say he didn't return it personally?&quot;

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;He's... indisposed. And somewhat decomposed.&quot;

Fedor:<font color="#000000">&quot;And.. look at the state of the thing!&quot;

Fedor:<font color="#000000">&quot;Wait.. indisposed.. sick?&quot;

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;What was his name? His widow might like to know of his passing.&quot;

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;In short, he is not only dead but mainly compost.&quot;

Fedor:<font color="#000000">&quot;Lemme look it up... His name was... here it is, this line- see? Ostap Kaganovic Perov, married, next of kin, Anna Alexandrovna Perova&quot;

Fedor:<font color="#000000">&quot;What.. dead?&quot;

Fedor:<font color="#000000">He looks startled.

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Yes. And I nearly joined him...&quot;

Fedor:<font color="#000000">&quot;What manners.. he dies, and doesn't bother to report it. Noone bothers.&quot;

Fedor:<font color="#000000">&quot;I mean... we still had him in the workers evidence.&quot;

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;I'm sure he would have had he had motile power and speech.&quot;

Fedor:<font color="#000000">&quot;NO WONDER we are behind plan. NO WONDER&quot;

Crystal:<font color="#330033">« &#160;1d20+6 = 5 + 6 = 11&#160; <font color="#330033">» Bluff -- hiding a snicker.

Fedor:<font color="#000000">« &#160;1d20+2 = 9 + 2 = 11&#160; <font color="#000000">» Sense motive

Liatai:<font color="#330033">Oooh. Higher modifier wins in a tie, I think.

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;It might be a useful health plan to have the workers jabbed by Undead at the start of the week. At least then they'd have a chance...

Fedor:<font color="#000000">&quot;You! ... er... Alison! Alison Lekas! Did you just say something ?&quot;

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;No sir.&quot; ^^

Fedor:<font color="#000000">&quot;Excellent... I like you... you seem to be very understanding.&quot;

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;I do try.&quot; ^^

Fedor:<font color="#000000">&quot;Organisation, you know? It's the key in every pursuit.&quot;'

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">Whispers to her, &quot;You are such a liar...&quot;

Fedor:<font color="#000000">&quot;Look at...See? That guy was no good at it, and he's dead now.&quot;

Crystal:<font color="#330033">^^

Smiley Mining Engineer :<font color="#000000">The engineer just eyerolls.

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;You seem to have a good head on your shoulders, too, Fedor. You probably know where everything is around here.&quot; :3

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;So, what now?&quot;

Fedor:<font color="#000000">&quot;Of course I do, miss Allison! That's why I'm the chief around here.&quot;

Fedor:<font color="#000000">&quot;Item distribution is a responsible task, you know?&quot;

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;And vital to the operation as a whole.&quot; ^^ &quot;Do you know where we might find a little healing for our bear friend? Or perhaps where the former Mrs. Perova might be?&quot;

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Amateurs study tactics, professionals study logistics.&quot;

Fedor:<font color="#000000">&quot;Precisely. Precisely. Mr. Kwok has got it just right!&quot;

Fedor:<font color="#000000">&quot;Well.. healing.. in the case you were injured.. you have to fill in this, this and this form.. and you will be able to requisition healing potions.&quot;

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;Michail? Would you like to?&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#330033">Figures. :B

Fedor:<font color="#000000">&quot;You see, this way, nothing gets lost. Not like that engineer who came around.. he apparently thought some of the gunpowder was missing. I went to report it... one can't go in there alone, see. Boss found nothing wrong.. well, he can.. and either way he got fired a few days later. Serves him right... raising false alarms... if anything went missing i'd know it, right?&quot;

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Actually, I don't like the feel of my wing... still has a lot of holes in the membrane. I'll fill out such a form too.&quot;

Fedor:<font color="#000000">&quot;It's the people who don't understand organization.&quot;

Fedor:<font color="#000000">&quot;They are either not returning items, raising false alarms, or just slacking off.&quot;

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Hm. Gunpowder? I have to say, that's a subject of substantial importance...&quot;

Fedor:<font color="#000000">&quot;Precisely. Precisely.&quot;

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;Which boss?&quot; :.

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;Sorry, I'm new around here.&quot; ^^

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;So I suppose it's best not to leave it to the benefit of the doubt. Better to check if there's even the suspicion.&quot;

Fedor:<font color="#000000">&quot;Sir, if there was any suspicion, i'd be the first one to know about it.&quot;

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Then there is no concern.&quot;

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Michail, mind helping me work this out?&quot;

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">WTF. DIIIIIICE

Fedor:<font color="#000000">You lot obtain six potions of light healing on Michail.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Yeah, you told me about that.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Okay. Where next? We have informations.

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;Fedor? I'm sorry, I'm so forgetful about names sometimes. What's the boss' name again? The one who checked the gunpowder.&quot; ^^'

Fedor:<font color="#000000">&quot;Him? Josip Berezovic, of course... I like him.. very ordered. He also didn't give the engineer a leg to stand on. I heard him! &quot;Kazimir Novakov, stop poking your bloody nose into things that have nothing to do with you! You found nothing, and if it wasn't for Fedor and me, we'd have a false alarm over missing gunpowder that's sitting there.&quot; See? That 's what you have to do, to deal with these problemmakers.&quot;

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;I see, very true. Can't let them get away with anything.&quot; ^^ And two more names go into the mental casebook.

Fedor:<font color="#000000">&quot;Looking after missing gunpowder.. just to conceal there are helmets not being handed in! And dead people not reporting! And engineers using the site to meet with illicit girlfriends ! That's what he got fired for, I think.&quot;

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;Oh my. How scandalous.&quot; :o

Fedor:<font color="#000000">&quot;See? Order.That's what's needed.&quot;

Smiley Mining Engineer :<font color="#000000">&quot;Hmm... so that's the whole story with Kaz.. I wonder where the hell he is now.&quot;

Crystal:<font color="#330033">Thought shielded thoughts - ''Can we keep him? He's so funny. x3 ''

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;What was the speciality of our poor lost miner, if I may ack?&quot;

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">ASK

Crystal: <font color="#330033">(( &quot;Mr. Mumble, are you all right? I don't blame you for ack-ing with all your injuries.&quot; *brick'd* ))

Fedor:<font color="#000000">&quot;He was a miner.. not an engineer, not special personnel.. here you have it- Miners: One helmet, one set of work clothing, hammer, three chisels...&quot; Fedor reads you a long list of equipment to show he knows exactly what a miner needs.

Firo:<font color="#330033">&quot;Wait -- Mr. Kaz?&quot; :O

Firo:<font color="#330033">&quot;We were trying to deliver a letter to him, but he wasn't home!&quot; :O

Smiley Mining Engineer :<font color="#000000">&quot;Were you? What letter, why?&quot;

Smiley Mining Engineer :<font color="#000000">&quot;And where is he then? I thought he's sitting at his home, sulking.&quot;

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;I don't think couriers are allowed to read the letters. Confidentiality.&quot;

Firo:<font color="#330033">&quot;I dunno, but Kwik knocked pretty loud.&quot;

Smiley Mining Engineer :<font color="#000000">&quot;Bloody hell.. i hope he didn't go do something stupid. &quot;

Smiley Mining Engineer :<font color="#000000">&quot;He's a good engineer, if a bit obsessive at things... nowhere near Fedor though.&quot;

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Obsession is a trait of a good engineer.&quot;

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">So.. where does the party go now? I mean, when you are done exploiting out of poor Fedor XD

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">buh wha? The out of is superfluous

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;I hope not, either. Fedor, do you know where Anna Perova might live? Someone should let her know about her husband.&quot;

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;It's only right, and it'd be a terribly disorganized affair, if wives aren't even informed about their dead husbands.&quot; &gt;: Fedor:<font color="#000000">&quot;Of course I do, miss Lekas! A proper organization takes care of things almost by itself!&quot;

Fedor:<font color="#000000">&quot;My words. My words.&quot;

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Like a living being... which I suppose makes yourself the liver, doer of 500 tasks.&quot;

Fedor:<font color="#000000">He carefully copies down an address from the book.

Fedor:<font color="#000000">&quot;Liver and doer! Precisely!&quot;

Crystal:<font color="#330033">Thoughts - ''Oh dear gods. This is like Easy Mode. I feel like I've entered a cheat code somewhere. x3 ''

Fedor:<font color="#000000">&quot;You know, if only we had more employees like you.. three..&quot;

Fedor:<font color="#000000">&quot;You understand organization, you fill in forms beautifully...Only you need to work on your signature, I say. Take an example from miss Alison!&quot;

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">Coincidental thoughts: ''I think this counts as Game Breaker... though given what happened to my alar phalanges ten minutes or so ago, I think I prefer that to Bone Breaker..''

Crystal:<font color="#330033">^^ &quot;Thank you!&quot;


 * Crystal takes the paper with the adress.

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;And thank you again, Jelena. You probably saved our lives down there.&quot; :3

Smiley Mining Engineer :<font color="#000000">&quot;Well.. thanks ^^ .. it was a bit.. scary, and ew.. but still, better than a rock fall. I hope you find.. whoever or whatever caused that.. I mean.. those tunnels, that's what probably weakened the statics.&quot;

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;We'll keep an eye out for Kaz, too, just in case. Do you know where he might have gone if he's not at home?&quot;

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;My thoughts and my opinion as well. I know I have at least one bone that's intact that would not be were it not for your swift minstrations.&quot;

Smiley Mining Engineer :<font color="#000000">&quot;I don't have much idea...asides from the pub and work.. i don't know him that much... He wasn't up to much asides from working.. messing with better ways to do things, that sort. &quot;

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;How strange that he might have been fired over illicit meetings with a girlfriend on-site, then.&quot; :.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">...well, at least I know there's such a thing as a local pub.

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;Well, maybe we can ask around the pub later. But for now, I think we'd better go offer some prayers for Mr. Perov and his wife.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">(good idea going to the pub XD I think we can handle it today, too.)

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">We'll raise a glass, maybe two/ one day I will think of you...

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">Anyways.. you find the address listed on the bit of paper... it's one of the common houses.

Crystal:<font color="#330033">Not quite what I was hinting toward, but okay, we can do that too. :3

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">We're off to the house.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">That's the impression I get.

VAE:<font color="#000000">well, asking around the pub .. there's plenty more miners who knew him

VAE:<font color="#000000">But since you said the above, I thought you want to

VAE:<font color="#000000">I might retcon,

Crystal:<font color="#330033">Once they're out of earshot of the miners, Crystal speaks in an undertone to Karis. &quot;I wonder if this is that 'missing husband' we heard about earlier.&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#330033">Crystal was hinting at going to see Zora at the church. XD

VAE:<font color="#000000">If you wanted to go elsewhere

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;It seems not only possible but entirely likely.&quot;

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

Liatai:<font color="#330033">But getting the telling of the story to the widow out of the way works, too.

VAE:<font color="#000000">well.. let's say yo uwent to a recon, just to get a glance, then went to the church

VAE:<font color="#000000">basically, look at the place from outside

Father Ignatius:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hello my children.&quot;

Zora:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yo.&quot;

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;Hey.&quot;

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">There is a ream of paperwork at Zora's table and she seems rather... unexcited

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;We come bearing evidence. Mayhaps you can help us sort it out?&quot; ^^

Zora:<font color="#000000">*sigh* &quot;More work today, huh? You lot found something about the mines?&quot;

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Mines have strange wildlife in them. Over the last hour, we've encountered evidence of something that digs through rock, fought off a dozen rats and I have nearly had my ribcage inverted by a mushroom.&quot;

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;Oh, quite a fair bit.&quot;

Zora:<font color="#000000">&quot;Okayy... what the bloody fuck?&quot;

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">*is venting quite a lot*

Zora:<font color="#000000">&quot;You went off to get some booze, did you? Or one of the arcane methods?&quot;

Zora:<font color="#000000">&quot;Tasha's hideous laughter?&quot;

Zora:<font color="#000000">« &#160;1d20+11 = 19 + 11 = 30&#160; <font color="#000000">» Spellcraft

Crystal:<font color="#330033">Crystal lays out the items from the mine. &quot;We descended into the mine and came across several passages of melted rock... a sample of which is contained in this mug.&quot;

Zora:<font color="#000000">Nothing...

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;And then there was a body that had basically been fertilizer for the thing for months! I'm going to be seeing that in my nightmares, right after the one about being eaten by a robin!&quot;

Zora:<font color="#000000">&quot;ookay.. show me the stuff..&quot;

Zora:<font color="#000000">« &#160;1d20+11 = 4 + 11 = 15&#160; <font color="#000000">» Spellcraft on the stuff

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;Going further, we found a number of round tunnels lined with the liquefied stone, roughly... what would you say, two feet in diameter?&quot;

Zora:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hmm... bloody hell, magical chemistry isn't exactly my strong side... but this looks like coming from some sort of creature.&quot;

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Yes.&quot;

Zora:<font color="#000000">Zora just facepaws

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;To add to that, of course, it's weakened the entire area! And the tunnel we met the mushroom in was an illicit tunnel!&quot;

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;Following them, we entered a mineshaft reported to have been out of use for over two years, though this was clearly not the case. The body of a miner was found within, with a violet mushroom growing out of it... what did you say, Karis? Native to Gorod Kur?&quot;

Zora:<font color="#000000">&quot;Fuck, fuck , and fuck again&quot;

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;A sample of the hyphae are here.&quot;

Zora:<font color="#000000">&quot;ookay.. I see...&quot;

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;Oh, retain some obscenities. We're not done yet.&quot;

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Yes. I have no idea what it was doing in a cave, and next time there's one then screw evidence, we're using Alchemist's Fire!&quot;

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">She has the good dice!

Zora:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yes.. Gorod Kur... they made good trouble in Kolina's paperworks the few times there was a forest infestation.. but here it's too cold for that shit.&quot;

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;What about underground?&quot;

Zora:<font color="#000000">&quot;Inside a mine though.. temperature doesn't drop as much... &quot;

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Temperatures there don't change much, yeah.&quot;

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;Near the body of the miner, identified as Ostap Kaganovic Perov, last seen three months, seven days and about sixteen hours ago, a device was found containing samples of this slime, some of it unreacted. And of yet more interest... this.&quot; Crystal produces the spindle.

Zora:<font color="#000000">« &#160;1d20+11 = 19 + 11 = 30&#160; <font color="#000000">» Spellcraft

Zora:<font color="#000000"> 0_0 

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;I believe it to be a focusing device for use with a soulstone of low power, likely a being's soul. Perhaps you'll confirm?&quot;

Zora:<font color="#000000">&quot;Of.. of course it bloody is! &quot;

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Calm down. This is still my freakout!&quot;

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;I haven't touched it with my bare hands, if you'd like to dust it for fingerprints.&quot;

Zora:<font color="#000000">&quot;Just..what the hell did you get that from? You have any idea how much these things cost?!&quot;

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;It was past the mushroom.&quot;

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;From inside the belly of the destroyed device.&quot;

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Still think I was tripping?&quot;

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;The soulstone was not in evidence, unfortunately.&quot;

Zora:<font color="#000000">&quot;The whole assembly... i mean, it's one of the reasons why I wanted to go to the university so bad.. they had a working soul engine in the labs..&quot;

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Much of the device was either decayed in one manner or another, or smashed.&quot;

Zora:<font color="#000000">&quot;It costs into thousands of GP.. never mind the trouble you'd have getting a legal soul...I mean... not like who did this gave a fuck..&quot;

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;There have been a few other suspicious dealings near the mines, as well. I have a few names to check... do we have anything on Ostap Kaganovic Perov, Anna Alexandrovna Perova, Josip Berezovic, or Kazimir Novakov?&quot;

Zora:<font color="#000000">&quot;Seriously... no wonder the soulstone was missing.. you don't leave stuff like that in there. In fact.. the only reason why this was left is that the discharge is what has likely cracked it.&quot;

Zora:<font color="#000000">&quot;See... the spindles.. the stuff has to conduct magic well... be enchantable.. so you have to use non-magical materials... &quot;

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Is it possible this was part of some plot to use missing gunpowder to blast large holes out of the mountain from the tunnel that's not supposed to exist? Because someone cleared gunpowder as not missing, but he's on the suspicious list.&quot;

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;... sorry, the discharge? I've never been one for studying soulstone mechanics.&quot; :.

Zora:<font color="#000000">&quot;The crystals have to be grown ... not many can do it.&quot;

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Oh, saturation magic theory. I see.&quot;

Zora:<font color="#000000">&quot;heh.. that's not soulstone mechanics.. that's worse. This is just how you get power out of a soulstone.&quot;

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;You know what I mean.&quot; ^^

Zora:<font color="#000000">&quot;Heh.. not so sure, Crys.&quot;

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;Is there anyone nearby known for growing soulstone spindles?&quot;

Zora:<font color="#000000">&quot;Either way.. hmm, nearby..&quot;

Zora:<font color="#000000">&quot;I suppose the folks in Novzgrad probably do.. other than that, it might be imported.&quot;

Zora:<font color="#000000">&quot;With things like this, transport cost is decisively not the issue.&quot;

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;I'd imagine.&quot;

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Can I just reiterate the thing about there being a plan to blow up part of the mountain?&quot;

Zora:<font color="#000000">&quot;Seriously... never expected i'll see one of these thingies..&quot;

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Because it makes sense to me.&quot;

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;Anyway... any of those names jump out at you? Ostap Kaganovic Perov, Anna Alexandrovna Perova, Josip Berezovic, or Kazimir Novakov?&quot;

Zora:<font color="#000000">&quot;Wait, what?&quot;

Zora:<font color="#000000">Her tail poofs up


 * Crystal nods to Karis. &quot;A possibility.&quot;

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;I said! There's a discrepancy in gunpowder storage amounts, a tunnel being dug by illicit means...

Zora:<font color="#000000">&quot;Blow up the mountain? How the hell ? &quot;

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;Or the gunpowder being used to arm someone.&quot;

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;True. But that doesn't explain the tunnel.&quot;

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;And two independent conspiracies both slipping under the radar that thoroughly sounds like we're screwed anyway.&quot;

Zora:<font color="#000000">&quot;Bloody hell, Karis.. you sound like my boss!&quot;

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;We'll definitely have to investigate this Josip Berezovic, it seems. Covertly, of course. A boss of mining likely has connections around here.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">I guess the low wisdom is kinda showing. Not that much common sense XD

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;It's a mine. There's one entrance and exit, so there will be issues with getting things in and out covertly.&quot;

Zora:<font color="#000000">&quot;Either way.. hmm.. those folks... looks at papers.&quot;


 * Firo, sated with rats, sleeps. =3=

Zora:<font color="#000000">*sigh* &quot;Mind asking somewhat.. later? I'll do the checkups for ya, just i have to fill in this stuff..&quot; Silently: &quot;Bloody hell, subordinates.. you'd think they'd keep work off ya, and here they are, making you bloody work even harder.&quot;

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;Of course. Any objections to telling Mrs. Perova about her husband's passing?&quot; That might be a slight impatient tailflick, though. Maybe. Very slight.

Zora:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hee.. go on with it, Crys.&quot; Zora seems just a little bit happier.

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;Thank you.&quot;

Zora:<font color="#000000">*sadcat looking at the ream of papers on the left side of her desk*

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;To the pub first, or to Ms. Parova's, gentlemen?&quot;

Zora:<font color="#000000">&quot;Well... what are ya lot waiting for...bloody hell..&quot;

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;I think to the unfortunate widow's house. If nothing else, it has fewer variables.&quot;

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;All right.&quot;

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;... Everyone cleaned up? Wouldn't do to track blood into a widow's house.&quot;

Zora:<font color="#000000">As you leave, the cat is already busy going through reams of paper.. and is that a flat bottle in her paws?

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Thank you for reminding me. Michail, put most of the potions in a safe place, take one yourself and I'll partake of another.&quot;

Crystal:<font color="#330033">Soft black flickers of magic are already licking over Crystal's hands and clothes, cleaning up dirt and bloodstains.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">That reasonable? Or shall I just suck up having about 35% hp damage?

VAE:<font color="#000000">it is

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

Michail:<font color="#000000">&quot;Allright, Karis!&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#330033">Crystal's will heal up with a night of rest, otherwise I'd be partaking, too.

Michail:<font color="#000000">Michail hands you a potion, and gulps down one himself in one go.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">...holy crap your HP is low. That mushroom could have OHKOed you if it hit even a point harder than it did me.

VAE:<font color="#000000">how much do they heal?

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">1d8+1 I think...

Liatai:<font color="#330033">1d8+1

Michail:<font color="#000000">The bear looks just a bit healthier.

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;That is the stuff. Oh, perhaps another? I can still tell what colour your blood is through your fur.&quot;

Michail:<font color="#000000">&quot;As you say, Karis.. are the boss here.&quot;

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Hmmm... an idea. An ice lolly made from frozen dilute healing potion. Perfect for kids after checkups.&quot;

Firo:<font color="#330033">&quot;My brother carries lemon-flavored healing candy!&quot; :D

Michail:<font color="#000000">&quot;When I was kid... we used to take bee nests from tree and chew them for candy&quot;

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Bears...&quot;

Michail:<font color="#000000">&quot;Bees, not bears.&quot;

Michail:<font color="#000000">&quot;Bear nest... isn't tasty.&quot;

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;I was talking about the actor, not the actee.&quot;

Michail:<font color="#000000">&quot;Ah... must speak bit more clearer.&quot;

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Of course, to 'Act E' is to fail your drama course.&quot;

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">Anyways, anyone has more to say, or just should make you arrive at the house?

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Elide time, oh GM.

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">As an aside.. few more reports like these and you'll drive Zora from casual drinker to full alcoholic XD

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Heh, I remember an episode of Doctor Who where the first clue something was wrong was that when the camera cut from one place to another, so did the world-lines of the characters - they had no memory of going from place to place.

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">Anyways...you arrive at the earlier checked out house.

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;I think I put things either too subtly or too bluntly. If you wouldn't mind doing the talking?&quot;

Crystal:<font color="#330033">On the way there, anyone looking at the cat might notice a shift in appearance.

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;...that always looks strange, and that's me talking.2

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;I don't mind. Not the first time I've done this, unfortunately.&quot;

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;... though someone might want to keep Firo outside.&quot;

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;Voltarus, would you mind being in charge of that?&quot;

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Perhaps they can Chii amongst themselves.&quot;

Crystal:<font color="#330033">Knock knock knock.

Oleg:<font color="#000000">&quot;Who's there?&quot;

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;Sorry to bother you -- is Anna Perova here?&quot;

Oleg:<font color="#000000">&quot;Her? She... ANNA! YOU EXPECTING A VISIT?&quot;

Anna :<font color="#000000">You hear a voice from deeper in the house. &quot;Why?&quot;

Oleg:<font color="#000000">&quot;Somebody at the door, asking your name&quot;


 * Crystal 's ear flicks uncomfortably. Yep... that's the same voice from the station.

Anna :<font color="#000000">&quot;Who are they?&quot;

Oleg:<font color="#000000">&quot;Dunno.. never seen'em round here.&quot;

Anna :<font color="#000000">&quot;Do they have uniforms?&quot;

Crystal:<font color="#330033">Is the door open?

Crystal:<font color="#330033">Or is there a window?

Anna :<font color="#000000">&quot;Never mind... Sleep, Jegor.. mom will come..&quot; You hear footsteps.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Oh, this is going to be all kinds of tragic...

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">The door opens about now.

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">You indeed see the woman coming in.

Anna :<font color="#000000">... &quot;Now...&quot;

Anna :<font color="#000000">&quot;Look, if you are to arrest me from the militia.. no uniform... or the spooks, know what? Go screw yourself! My husband has been missing for months, and since your people did JACKSHIT OF COURSE I WENT TO COMPLAIN. What do you mean, being rude at an officer? And that paper... you can take all the fines and stuff them where your tail grows from!&quot;

Anna :<font color="#000000">Someone appears to have confused you...

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;Hello, ma'am. I'm not sure if you remember me; we saw each other at the guard station briefly. My name is Crystal...&quot; Crystal breaks off at the woman's tirade and listens briefly. &quot;... and I have news about your husband.&quot; She shows her badge in the palm of her hand. &quot;May I come in?&quot;

Anna :<font color="#000000">&quot;... wait.. so you are from the spooks.. and you have news? Is he allright? And why did he not show up at home? .. .and .. sorry.. i thought you were here.. about my complaint.. it happens.. sorry&quot;

Anna :<font color="#000000">*looks slightly embarrassed about the previous outburst

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;It's understandable. You may want to sit down...&quot;

Anna :<font color="#000000">&quot;Sit.. down?&quot;

Anna :<font color="#000000">*appears confused*

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">''christos... the one thing that you can be sure of about my particular line of work is that usually you know exactly what kind of things wrong the person did. Like this... ''

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;We went into the mines shortly after visiting the guard station... I'm afraid your husband is dead. He seemed to have been dead for several months. His body is with the men at the mines...&quot;

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">I don't think there's ever been a real life way to gently break something like this.

Anna :<font color="#000000">*looks.. oddly*

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;I'm truly sorry. We were able to recover his wedding ring and several personal effects...&quot;

Anna :<font color="#000000">&quot;At the mine? But.. he was gone earlier than that ! I mean.. the rocks couldn't have.. are you sure?&quot;

Anna :<font color="#000000">*confused*


 * Crystal hands them over.

Anna :<font color="#000000">*looks at the things.. and just looks... *

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;We think it was in an earlier incident that may or may not be related. The investigation is ongoing at this time.&quot;

Anna :<font color="#000000">&quot;Ostap... for...: Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RUFoDQAEnsY I think this is one of the few things that can fit.

Oleg:<font color="#000000">&quot;I..fucking hell.. and I thought...&quot;

Oleg:<font color="#000000">The big guy looks rather grim himself.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">What follows is not to be countered by anyone, okay?

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;If it's any consolation, we believe from evidence recovered that it was quick.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">. . . countered?

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">You ALWAYS tell them it was a quick death.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Even if the person burned to death because they couldn't escape a burning building.

Oleg:<font color="#000000">&quot;At least....bloody hell...&quot;

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;If you can think of anything that might be able to help us track down the people who did this, we would appreciate it greatly. If you would rather not go through the guard, you can address a letter to the messenger Firo at the gryphon post.&quot; Crystal writes it down for her. &quot;... I'm truly sorry we couldn't give you better news.&quot;

Oleg:<font color="#000000">&quot;I.. don't know what to say... i.. i'll ask her.. I don't think..she's... quite able to.. at the moment.. &quot;

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;I understand. Are you her son?&quot;

Anna :<font color="#000000">In the meantime, the woman has gone from catatonic to sobbing.

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;.. Shall we make our way to the pub, then? I don't know about you, but a drink is sounding good right around now.&quot;

<Drayco> Dice for "You know nothing, NOTHING!"

<Liatai> Michail for Defeating the Forms of Doom.

<Liatai> Karis for Social Support. It was nice having someone as backup during the social scenes. :3

<Liatai> ... Fedor for being -so dang much fun to play with.- x3

<Saphroneth> Firo for his reactions to the two enemy types. One being very nicely played (mushroom) and the other... hilarious. "Ooh, buffet!"

<Drayco> ...Oh boy...

<Drayco> Comp decided that it no longer has internet access...

<Liatai> We're still seeing your lines here, if that means anything.

<Drayco> Desktop.

<Saphroneth> And there was that rat that lasted twice as long at the rest of them combined... I'd nom that, but it would result in the rat coming back.

<Liatai> Ah.

<Drayco> PERCUSSIVE MAINTAINCE ROUND TWO!!!

<Drayco> ...

> hmm

<Saphroneth> Voltarus: PINK/PURPLE HANDS!

<Drayco> "Windows could not renew your IP addess" Blah blah blah "For assistance, contact the person who manages your network."

<Liatai> Did he vanish again?

> No idea

> he is on skype

<Saphroneth> He was in the second session and didn't drop.

<Saphroneth> Not before everyone did, anyways.


 * VAE headdesks


 * Techcubi (www-data@cpe-24-243-1-234.satx.res.rr.com) has joined channel #Argument_atrium

<Saphroneth> Ah.

> why did I not save campaign?

<Liatai> ... okay, I'm tempted to nom Voltarus for "He met an unfortunate end." "He's taken a moment to decompose himself." "He's a corpse. :| "

> Drayco

> you got the maptool still open?


 * VAE is a big furry idiot

<Drayco> No, but I saved the campaign before closing.

> okay

> put the file on akellon swap

<Drayco> ...

<Saphroneth> The gradually less circumspect responses to the death, you mena?

<Saphroneth> mean>

<Drayco> COMP NOT SPEAKING TO ROUTER.

> WTF

> not urgent. anyways

> Just make it appear there in the next month or so

<Liatai> Speaking of which, VAE, when you get the chance, could you put the most recent logs on the wiki so Fae can catch up? :3

> I guess so

> i'll deal with he log here and then, that

> Anyways

<Liatai> The comp and the router had a tiff, it seems.

> Techcubi, you nominatin' anyone?


 * VAE has the log, he just needs campaign file for records

<Saphroneth> Crystal: "Medic!"

<Saphroneth> Oh, by the way, lol at the "Dice int check" that pretty much proved they weren't going to play nice.

<Techcubi> How about Firo for 'POUNCE?'

<Saphroneth> Firo: "This is my pet rat now."

<Saphroneth> Crystal: Forensically careful, in a party of carelessness.

<Liatai> Remind me to grab more mugs, pouches, and vials for Crystal to use for evidence in the future. And a freaking ranged weapon. :B

<Saphroneth> Sling?

<Saphroneth> Those are freeeee.

<Liatai> I need to check and see what beguilers are proficient with.

> Anyways.. so.. since I can't remmeber any that I wanted to carry out myself

<Drayco> No they're not.

<Drayco> Slings and bullets are cheap, but not FREE.

<Saphroneth> Oh? thought they were. Must just be quarterstaffs, then.

> Firo - 100XP for Battle Gryphie Activate!

<Saphroneth> Or clubs, or something.

<Liatai> Slings are free, yes. As are clubs.

<Liatai> And quarterstaffs.

<Saphroneth> Voltarus: "Oh, that important historical and family figure."

<Drayco> Okay, send file to Akellon swap.

<Liatai> I should know, my druid in Dorf Fortress is using his eyepatch as a sling. :B

<Saphroneth> Thought so! I know bullets have cost, but slings I thought not.

> Voltarus - 50 XP LEMME SEE THE CRYSTAL! - Noep. 50 XP for Sweet money! mine!

<Liatai> Ooh, hand crossbow, shortbow, and simple ranged weapons. :3

> +50 XP for death puns

<Saphroneth> Who's that for? Everyone who did them, or?

> Let's say... yeah.

> Karis + 100XP Even assasins have standards +50 XP I speak Bat + Rat death incarnate +50XP Social support?

<Saphroneth> So that's 200, + 50 for the death puns?

> Michail - +50 XP I KILL FUNGUS LIKE YOU WHEN IN BABY CRIB (liatai nominated)

> Yes

<Saphroneth> OK. Oh, and I thought Zora's reaction to us weirdness magnets telling her what happened in the last two hours was very fun as well.

<Saphroneth> "Okay, how did you get intoxicated?"

> Crystal +100 XP Break the news, break a mind. +50 XP A shining example of orderliness. +50 Party Medic and pathologist

> Also Michail +50 Bearaucracy

<Liatai> Any battle XP to add in?

<Saphroneth> ...ouch at pun.

> and Zora.. I'll take care of her separately.

<Saphroneth> We fought something that was CR 4, I damn well hope there is!

<Liatai> ... I didn't notice until you said it, Saph. XD

> Indeed

> Anyways, christmas is coming. so 350 XP for roleplaying, and well, let's say 800 for the battle.

<Liatai> (350 XP away from level... c'mooooon... :9

<Liatai> Woo! :D

> It was intentionally tough, so you get something

> I'm not entirely evil GM, i just like to mess with you

<Drayco> Dammit...

<Saphroneth> Yay, now I can get a spell that hits even when dice are evil!

<Saphroneth> Oh, and get Maximize Spell in Primal. That'll help too.

> but yeah... the intoxication bit even I myself lollynx'd at

> well, given there's Voltarus in the party... and some others..

<Liatai> Hmm. I wonder if I should jump for the Investigate feat out of the Eberron Campaign Setting for Crystal. :3


 * VAE hasn't eberron books.

<Liatai> Ah. It's a feat that allows for expansion on using Search to find clues at the scene of a crime.


 * VAE is opposed to two things.. stuff from books he doesn't have, and deathless

<Liatai> Much like Track does for Search/Survival.

> I see.

<Drayco> AND WHY ISN'T GMAIL SENDING?!


 * Window LOG is OFF
