Ghostwish has connected.

Liatai has connected.

Ghostwish:There we go. Fine and dandy?

Saphroneth has connected.

* VAE purr

Ghostwish:Right o. Going AFK for a loooong time. :P

VAE:now for some last touches, since lynx sucks at mapping, but at least we can have some fun

VAE:also, messaged TC on skyp

VAE:I hope he didn't get the idea that game is sunday

VAE:or I'll tear him in half and feed him to bobcat

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

</i>VAE:<font color="#000000">woo!

VAE:<font color="#000000">In the meantime, so there's something fun to do.. I wonder, do any of you have any character theme songs?

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">For when Karis is higher level and feels confident in Parkour, Sprinter might work... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z2qnOqWGYgE

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

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">It's the anime ED music of someone who can use a six-odd inch knife to kill concepts. It's awesome.

* Liatai wolfs down dinner.

* VAE thinketh he is just about done, and possibly waiteth for liatai finisheth nomming

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Woo, it works. Now I can do kinematic calculations with ease... which is going to be handy...

VAE:<font color="#000000">As usual, since the lynx sucketh, most stuff will be narrated ,but well.

VAE:<font color="#000000">what works? you made a script for it?

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Well. Ten rows of Excel, each a different three known variables.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">So the one that's not &quot;VALUE UNKNOWN&quot; anywhere will be the one to read off from.

VAE:<font color="#000000">in the meantime, lynx rereads log

VAE:<font color="#000000">and sorry for starting late, folks, but unlike last week, i had labs so i returned at about 5 pm or so, and still had stuff here to do

VAE:<font color="#000000">maps take me a horrid amount of time since I lack practice. Most will be still narrated, it's just that the tavern needed one

* Liatai waves a hand while nomming. Been there, I understand.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Whee, realistic scale space battles.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">(...take an unreasonable amount of vectors to do properly...)

VAE:<font color="#000000">say it whole, you oaf. Realistic scale space battles for a MLP FANFIC =^.^=

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">...well, yeah.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">But when the other half of the inspiration is David Weber, it'd be letting the side down not to.

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">One of these days i'll suffer a mental breakdown and watch MLP obsessively for the next few weeks

Liatai:<font color="#000000">What. XD

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Congrats on the TV Tropes page, by the way. :3

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

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7769439/1/Ponies_in_space

VAE:<font color="#000000">Look, i make up unearthly abominations, and Sapj writes epic crackfics

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

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">If you check my profile, you will see that my list of stories is utterly, utterly whackball.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Though, Saruman of Many Devices is not that crazy, not in the way it's done

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Yeah... but when an industrial revolution on Middle Earth is the SERIOUS fic...

VAE:<font color="#000000">Industrial revolution where we spent two days discussing the technology of it.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Ahhh. Okay. Ready.

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

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

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

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

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

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">Anyways. On last episode of Le Chevalier d'Kebre, Voltie decided he prefers a stiff ... book to a stiff drink, epic pranks were both had and set into motion, Voltarus 's hovercraft was full of eels, and most importantly of all, it was discovered that the dead miner talked to us all's favourite cubi.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Ugh. Might be a little too full. BRB.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Also Firo ate too much

VAE:<font color="#000000">uff.. looks like i'm not the only one whose innards feel a part of the 99%.

Techubi:<font color="#CC0000">Us all's favorite cubi?

VAE:<font color="#000000">yeah. That wasn't the best formulated sentence, was it

Techubi:<font color="#CC0000">Which 'Favorite cubi' are we talking about?

VAE:<font color="#000000">the fact that the lynx is already awake for something like 16 hours might be related &gt;.&gt;

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">...you've been up since 5AM?

VAE:<font color="#000000">A certain individual wearing a scarf. Given that everyone's mostly talking about him, he seems like a favourite

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">I went to bed at 11, woke up at 4:45

VAE:<font color="#000000">then, went on to do a bit of mapping, and tanks with Ghost for about an hour, too...

VAE:<font color="#000000">When I say that (due to distractions, and having to think up sensible scales and layout) the maps take a long time, I do mean it :3

VAE:<font color="#000000">and of course, was on both IRCs ,and ... urgh. VAE can't recall what else he did, and sadly the above is remarkably little

VAE:<font color="#000000">Well, on the other paw, i'm a lynx, not a Prius. Don't have to be efficient XD

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Okay, back. Sorry.

VAE:<font color="#000000">no prob.

VAE:<font color="#000000">In fact, it might happen that lynx disappears for whiles during game due to similar problem

VAE:<font color="#000000">Already had to run three times today ... =|.|=

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

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">So, as was said. Back last week it was decided. (how nicely does that sound. Almost democratic) that half the party (by mass) should pay a visit to Mr. Berezovic, and the rest should investigate the Rusty Claw tavern where someone suspiciously scarfy was last seen.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Is that mass distribution weighted?

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">Sorta. Though, I might have underestimated Comrade Michail here.

Michail:<font color="#000000">Boss says my word bears a lot of weight, too.

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Ah, the old one-two.&quot;

Michail:<font color="#000000">Is probably because I normally let Karis do the talking

Firo:<font color="#000000">CHII~

VAE:<font color="#000000">Oh, nice fun. Today on the vibrations lab, we were explained how to well hit with the hammer.

VAE:<font color="#000000">(that was used for the scanning)

VAE:<font color="#000000">I lawled as it very much resembled Sticks's lecture

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

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">Anyways... so, last when we met, orders were received.. and now, most likely both groups are going on their respective ways.

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">Unless they aren't ,which wouldn't be a surprise either.

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">So, being creatures, Volt and Firo are going to whichever place isn't Anti-wing?

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">Yesh.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Ahhhh crud.

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">Unless they are suicidal.

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Here comes the freezing rain again.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Argh fuck.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Well, let's put it this way. Since it PC-involves everyone, and it's mostly just description, i'll do the creatures first

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;So, um...&quot;

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

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;What do we do when we meet Mr. Berezovic?&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">Since the second group is just Crys and Michail, worst case if shit goes bad I can do that as a minisession.

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">He shrugs. &quot;Who knows?&quot;

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">poof!

</i><font color="#CC6600"> Batmode.

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;... And where do we go to meet him, anyway?&quot;

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

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">*Facewing* Well, this was well thought out...

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">*giggles like insane*

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;... Miss Zoraaaaaaa.&quot; ;~;

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;Where do we go to meet Mr. Berezovic?&quot;

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Okay, okay. Follow me.&quot;

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;An' what do we do when we get there -- okay I'm comin'!&quot;

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

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">He grabs his Gryphon language book.

* VAE has a bottle of iron brew, so that he can taste the irony

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;... Where're we going?&quot;

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Good lord it's hard to keep these names straight. Could be that they are from a cultural background I have little relative experience with, coupled with how we hear of them once or twice at most a session.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">I cheat. &gt;.&gt;

VAE:<font color="#000000">Yeah.. On other paw, it's easier for me to think them up

Liatai:<font color="#000000">I copy them down onto Crystal's character sheet. &gt;.&gt;;;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Otherwise I'd have no hope. ^^;;;;

* VAE has trouble with inventing western names.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">I can give you my notes?

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Ah! the boss guy with the missing gunpowder. Got it.

* VAE means.. even more trouble than normal. And do.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Yep, he is

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Yay logs.

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">I been making up the wiki slowly

VAE:<font color="#000000">This sort of info will end up there

* VAE split off a section for the campaign

VAE:<font color="#000000">Yeah, Lia is a bad influence on me

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Right. Time for some creative interrogation. Nobody use too much fire... at least until we know if there's gunpowder in the building...&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">soo... eventually, you'll have atleast short blurbs.

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">Rightee. Do you all go at once, or does Karis fly in first?

Firo:<font color="#000000">I don't even know where we're going.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">What sort of place is it we've gone to? Is it a home, or an office, or..?

Firo:<font color="#000000">So uh I'll follow Karis. :B

VAE:<font color="#000000">Home, as was said

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Ah, OK. Right. I'll take a look in the windows.

VAE:<font color="#000000">And it's more-less early morning

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">He follows Karis.

* Liatai pictures Karis leading the whole group to a pub after saying &quot;Okay, follow me.&quot; :B

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Bat weres don't drink normal beverages. They find a slightly gone-off fruit.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">It's bigger than they are!

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">Hide (while looking in windows and stuff) &#171; &#160;1d20+21 = 13 + 21 = 34&#160; <font color="#CC6600">&#187;

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">Anyways.. tell me a number from one to three - just side with windows from which you approach.

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&#171; &#160;1d3 = 3&#160; <font color="#CC6600">&#187;

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">And that most definitely succeeded.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Heh. Natural one: crash into window, alert local rich young man whose parents died, five years later take partial credit for origin story of BATFUR.

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

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

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">Either way, that's the kitchen. You see not much interesting .. it's a slightly better to do house - clean stove, carved wood table and chairs as opposed to just planks... well, the only somewhat unusual thing is a coffeepot that appears to have boiled over quite badly.

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&gt;continue around house

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&gt;engrave Elbereth

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

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&gt;Wait, wrong universe.

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">Allright. This way.. you come across the front. You quite directly notice the door has been bashed it. And Liatai, you don't get to snerk unless you can tell me where is Elbereth from and what does it do.

* Liatai Googles. ^^;

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&gt;Return to group

VAE:<font color="#000000">These youngsters..

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">Get off my la--I mean get off the field of our kolchoz.

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Door's been bashed in, and the house looks like someone left in a hurry somehow - coffee pot boiled over, that sort of thing.&quot;

Firo:<font color="#000000">D: Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh no!&quot;

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Either this is the Marie Celestovitch, or something else is up.&quot;

* VAE 's playlist. Last days of the brotherhood.

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;So. Think we should go in?&quot;

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

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">He goes to the front door. He holds out his right hand, charges purple energy in his hand...

VAE:<font color="#000000">(and yeah, I did want a map for this, too. *sigh*)

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

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yeah, let's go!&quot;

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">And, then thrusts his hand forward and fires it &#171; &#160;1d20 + 3 = 10 + 3 = 13&#160; <font color="#CC0000">&#187; for &#171;  &#160;2d6 = 7&#160; <font color="#CC0000">&#187; damage.

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">*batform again, and flies overhead of the Warlock*

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">At the door.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">I Attack The Dark-oak!

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">The door is now not only broken, but burned through.

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">He smirks smugly, lifts his hand up toward his face, then blows on it.

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">He walks through the burned door.

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">Or, is it burned doorway?

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">He is an Ops specialist, clearly. Not Covert, just Ops.

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">..yeah Burned something, definitely.

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">He's an oops specialist XD

* Firo scrunches up and wiggles his hindquarters, preparing to ram the door open -- er, looks like Voltie got it.

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">Inside, you have just come through the living room. It appears mostly intact...

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">Roll Spot for me.

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">Spot: &#171; &#160;1d20 - 3 = 13 - 3 = 10&#160; <font color="#CC0000">&#187;

Firo:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+7 = 11 + 7 = 18&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; Spot!

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&#171; &#160;1d20+4 = 1 + 4 = 5&#160; <font color="#CC6600">&#187;

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">You said Listen, right?

VAE:<font color="#000000">aahah, can do

VAE:<font color="#000000">for a bat in primal form those are the same

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&#171; &#160;1d20+4 = 13 + 4 = 17&#160; <font color="#CC6600">&#187; same modifier, too...

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

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Hey, do you have echolocation?

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">Listen: &#171; &#160;1d20 - 3 = 2 - 3 = -1&#160; <font color="#CC0000">&#187;

Firo:<font color="#000000">No, but I'm curious.

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

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">Anyways. Firo hears the maca...nothing.

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">at all.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">I think that score means that he's lucky to be awake, and that he can't hear himself.

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

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;GUYS? I CAN'T HEAR ANYTHING.&quot;

Firo:<font color="#000000">Do I see anything?

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">Nah, you hear a door opening. After several seconds, you realise it's your intestines.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">I swear that a Move Silently check that bad would spontaneously cause an EXPLOSION.

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">Anyways. Firo and Karis possibly spot that there seem to be bits of shaken off soil around the house in the main axis, while elsewhere it's clean and tidy

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">main axis.. as in, from the door to wherever.

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

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">So, Volt doesn't spot anything with a 10?

VAE:<font color="#000000">He spotted it with 18 back then.

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">Seriously ,this isn't something that easy to notice.

VAE:<font color="#000000">especially since there's SMOKE inside

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">from Volt blowing up the door.

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;WHAT ABOUT TACKS?&quot;

* Firo crouches and sniffs at the tracks. &gt;:d

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Hm. Either there was a particularly poorly mannered individual here, or his roommate is an earth elemental.&quot; Or, as you hear it, *______-_____*

VAE:<font color="#000000">What about livingstone.

VAE:<font color="#000000">(it's a song by abba)

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Note to self -- get Firo the Track feat so he can serve as sniffer-gryphon. :B

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;BORELY MINORED WHAT?&quot;

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

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">How can you hear bat skree? You can't hear yourself speak right now. (Probably from the nearby explosion, actually...)

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Unless his hearing has become detuned.

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

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">Anyways, what does your lot do ,then?

Firo:<font color="#000000">Follow them tracks! &gt;:d

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">(and sorry for lack of map again. Makes it hard for me,too)

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">*Follows tracks*

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

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">Around house, or outside?

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">In, first.

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

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">Follows Karis.

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">Whiffle - to turn sideways briefly, shedding air from under wings to lose height.

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">Allright. you don't even need to roll, i think wth your modifier it's just taking 10 suffices. The tracks branch off at a few places, near rooms.. there are tidbits of soil every now and then. The tracks finally stop near the door to the bedroom, where you find much more of them, along a few chunks of dry plant matter.. sort of like dried wine sprouts.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Someone with a bag gather up some of that plant matter, it could be important.

* Crystal claws at the fourth wall. Evidence! DX

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">Roll spot again?

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

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&#171; &#160;1d20+4 = 9 + 4 = 13&#160; <font color="#CC6600">&#187;

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&#171; &#160;1d20+4 = 8 + 4 = 12&#160; <font color="#CC6600">&#187; Again for Listen if permitted.

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

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">...Voltarus, you are our only hope. You and your -3 modifier.

Firo:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+3 = 2 + 3 = 5&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; Search -- where are you, tracks and plants. &gt;:d

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">Spot: &#171; &#160;1d20 - 3 = 11 - 3 = 8&#160; <font color="#CC0000">&#187;

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&#171; &#160;1d20+6 = 2 + 6 = 8&#160; <font color="#CC6600">&#187; Search, I can do. It doesn't require observation skills, just intelligence.

* Firo takes 20 if there's time for &#171; &#160;20+3 = 20 + 3 = 23&#160;  &#187; on Search to collect little plant scraps.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Okay, apparently not.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Those rolls were nasty.

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">Anyways, Firo does collect the scraps.. they are reasonably fresh.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">3,4,8,2,11,2. That's just... ow.

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">And given he's sniffing through the area, I might as well.

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;What are these?&quot; :.

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">He also notices a few spread out blood droplets.

Firo:<font color="#000000">-- !!!

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">Now, if only you had crystal here.

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;Blood!&quot; D: Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;Blood?&quot;

* T3h GM guesses an Int check with a high DC would likely suffice

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;There, on the floor!&quot;

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&#171; &#160;1d20+2 = 20 + 2 = 22&#160; <font color="#CC6600">&#187; Int.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">... wow. XD

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Finally, a high roll. That do?

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">Int: &#171; &#160;1d20 + 3 = 13 + 3 = 16&#160; <font color="#CC0000">&#187;

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">That's good. From their shape you notice that they impacted the floor at an angle... meaning it wasn't someone just casually bleeding out.

Firo:<font color="#000000">Is the bedroom door open?

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">unless of course such people wave their wounds around, I mean. I don't have expensive experience in the matters.

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">Yes it is open.

* Firo peeks in nervously. Darkvision powers, go! &#171; &#160;1d20+7 = 16 + 7 = 23&#160;  &#187; Spot

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">*transformers, more than meets the ear* &quot;It seems there has been murder. Though since he's not a Phoenix or Gryphon, it was not Murder Most Fowl.

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

* Crystal continues clawing at the fourth wall. DX

VAE:<font color="#000000">(Well, not like I moved crystal elsewhere intentionally)

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">OH, calm down. You'll get it eventually...

VAE:<font color="#000000">(It just sort of... originated from the way the events last week took place)

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;Uh -- uh -- whaddo we do?&quot; D: Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;Yeah, yeah, you're VERY funny, Wereboy...&quot;

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;We should call the police -- ARE we the police?&quot; D: Karis:<font color="#CC6600">Prestidigitation - lifts some of the blood off the floor telekinetically, holding it well away from anything. &quot;Is there a clean bottle this can go in?&quot;

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;Uh -- lemme check my bag --&quot;

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Cantrips. Sometimes suprisingly useful. Like this one, which allows TK which avoids contamination.

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;I got an empty potion bottle. An' some flasks with oil in 'em.&quot;

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">Halfway, just OOC. There's the militia, too. They are half police half city watch. You folks are about a third police a third counterintelligence, and a third by yourself for yourself XD

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Potions bottle would be best. Kept clean to avoid adverse reactions, I assume?&quot;

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;Uh -- I dunno, a cure potion was in it 'til a few days ago.&quot;

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

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Okay. Hold it out.&quot; *cleans bottle with other aspect of prestidigitation, then places blood in*

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

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

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

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

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Like I say. There are forensic applications of this spell.

* Firo holds out the bottle, then stoppers it when the blood goes in.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Also it lasts an hour.

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;... should we get some of the dirt, too?&quot;

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;I think so. Separate container, of course.&quot;

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

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;Voltie, do you have anything?&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">Heh.. I like your thinking Saph

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;We could just pick one up from here. I doubt he'd begrudge, say, the coffee pot?&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">because if Swallowtail failed, this is what Miron intended to do with his mental spell-like prestidigitation

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">(That was supposed to be IC)

VAE:<font color="#000000">(he gets it as a gnome)

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

* Crystal claws at the fourth wall more. DX I have evidence containers! Agh!

VAE:<font color="#000000">either elave it as is, or repost

VAE:<font color="#000000">Argh, well, sorry for that.

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;We could just pick one up from here. I doubt he'd begrudge, say, the coffee pot?&quot;

* VAE 's fourth wall is all claw'd

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;... uhh... but isn't that stealing?&quot;

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">And I can make evidence containers. Plus everything on me when I transform goes into Hammerspace, where it can't really be touched.

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;We'll return it as soon as this sordid business is over.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">Like M.C.Sickle ?

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;... so we're just borrowing?&quot;

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">The lesser known sibling of M.C.Hammer

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;Borrowing without permission.&quot;

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

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Look, library card. *Warrant card*

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Or whatever it was we got given... if anything...

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;I think we should enter the bedroom.&quot;

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;W-well... I looked in the bedroom...&quot; DM, did I see anything? I got a 23.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Hmm, you lot, nothing really. Crys had one. XD Remember why you were hired. Plausible deniability

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">Yes you do in fact. The bed is rather disordered, and someone apparently opened the drawer,too.

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">However, there's no trace of either mud, or fighting

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">As in, no blood , spit or similar.

Firo:<font color="#000000">Sniffsniffsniff. Any tracks leading away from the bedroom? &#171; &#160;20+3 = 20 + 3 = 23&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; Search check for tracks!

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;It looks like someone searched it. But at least they took their boots off...&quot; (either that, of course, or they used those boneless arm things the System Shock main character uses...)

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">Ahahaha! You know the main char of that game was an incubus.

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

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">And well.. there aren't any tracks beyond where you seen last.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Subtle little idea that it might have been a Cubi who searched the room, there...

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;... but if it's a murder... where's the body?&quot;

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

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;I don't see any tracks -- or smell any.&quot;

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;Should we start looking for either fresh dirt, or bodybags?&quot;

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">If you examine the tracks, you notice that they didn't really pass near any furniture or anything, and they end in front of the bedroom.

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;How strange. Anyone for following the dirt the other way?&quot;

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;I'm thinking, summon?&quot;

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yeah, we should probably follow it the other way.&quot;

* Firo adds Blood Bottle, Strange Plant Scraps, and Dirt Sample to the evidence log.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Doo-da-doo.

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">As an aside, evidence log. This is so awesome, though I can't exactly tell why.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">BRB, sacred canine duty.

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">I guess it reminds me of the KGB adventure game where half the stuff you had was evidence one way or another.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">We need a Warrant Card, a Magmatama and the ability to shout OBJECTION!

VAE:<font color="#000000">And BOOT TO THE HEAD, riht?

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">The game series &quot;Phoneix B Wright&quot; is known for its' satirical portrayal of the Creature-Being Council.

* VAE snerks

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Okay, back.

Firo:<font color="#000000">Of interest, is the blood still wet, or has it dried?

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">*Follow the earthen bit road...*

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">Still wet.. this likely didn't happen all that long ago.

Firo:<font color="#000000">Okay, so let's follow the tracks in the other direction! Sniffsniffsniff...

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">Hmm, now, would that require Survival rolls?

* T3h GM suspects it would, unless you have compelling reason

Firo:<font color="#000000">Only if you have Track. It's Search otherwise.

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">Allright, forgot.

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">Anyways, go with search, I suspect

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">Follows them.

Firo:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+3 = 15 + 3 = 18&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; Search!

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">Search: &#171; &#160;1d20 - 3 = 20 - 3 = 17&#160; <font color="#CC0000">&#187;

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">We are going to PAY for these 20s...

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">(And with those results, I will not be bothering to roll.

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">Hmm, the tracks leave the home through the door, and advance .. you cross through moving to the east through the streets..

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">You can smell them reasonably distinctly.

Firo:<font color="#000000">Sniffsniffsniffsniffsniff. :d

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">Either way, likely one more roll? It feels slightly silly to allow you to track something through half the town with one roll

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Hee! From a Twitter feed of awesome, detailing the adventures of a lecherous time traveller: I expected the world's first beer to kind of, well, SUCK, but as the locals called it, &quot;Best Grain Storage Error EVER&quot; is ENTIRELY ACCURATE.

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

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">Especially, since where it's walked a lot, a police dog would have trouble.

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&#171; &#160;1d20+6 = 15 + 6 = 21&#160; <font color="#CC6600">&#187;Search

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">Search: &#171; &#160;1d20 - 3 = 19 - 3 = 16&#160; <font color="#CC0000">&#187;

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">Anyways,Karis for some reason is a better tracker than the gryphie. You move in to the eastern outskirts of the town. And, slowly ,you reach one of the city's graveyards.

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">Now, what does you lot do?

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">Getting worried now...

</i><font color="#CC6600"> And I think the greater tracking efficiency is due to being able to use ultrasound.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Hmm, I think this sort of thing would be ultra-hard that way.

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;... this is getting really scary...&quot; D: VAE:<font color="#000000">Let's say that you have a good sense of smell.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">That and fly inches from things.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">To me, this is a trail of large clumps of dirt.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Fair enough.

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;D-d-d'you think someone should go get Crystal an' Michail or Zora or somebody?&quot;

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">*SHIFT*&quot;Can undead things be shanked?&quot;

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

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;What's shanking?&quot;

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Because I don't think so... and it's hitting the &quot;reset&quot; button.&quot;

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Tickling the insides.&quot;

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;Undead don't have buttons.&quot;

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Hence why I don't think I can do it to them.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">This gets nominated.

VAE:<font color="#000000">If I forget, remind me.

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;Please, how many undead are around here?&quot;

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Impromptu keyhole surgery.

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;And I don't know. I'll have a look.&quot; *SHIFT* I need a better sound effect.

VAE:<font color="#000000">If you so wish, there's an actual map.

VAE:<font color="#000000">It's aptly called graveyard, i'll copy ya there.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">I think so, yes.

VAE:<font color="#000000">moment, GM token forgot

VAE:<font color="#000000">anyways. Shall I map-transfer you lot?

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">I see myself.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">So we may be already there.

VAE:<font color="#000000">good, what about livingstone.. I mean others.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">The others have pogs here.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">I see myself.

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

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;D-d-d'you think we should go get help?&quot; The gryphon's tail is rather fluffed out and twitching back and forth.

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;Can't we just find the body, and dig it out?&quot;

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">Anyways, the gate is more-less closed. As in, not locked with a chain, just shut

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;B-but what if there are tomb guardians?&quot;

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;It's bad to dig in a graveyard!&quot; D: Karis:<font color="#CC6600">*Moorph* &quot;There are plant entities.&quot;

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">(Can I tell what they are?

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;See?! I told you!&quot; D: &quot;Tomb guardians!&quot;

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">I guess if you rolled Knowledge(nature)

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;Do you think Warlocks and Necromancers CARE about little things like 'The undead?'&quot;

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&#171; &#160;1d20+2 = 17 + 2 = 19&#160; <font color="#CC6600">&#187; untrained.

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;I'm not a warlock or a neko-dancer and I do care!&quot; D: Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Neko Dancer: Dan as a bard.

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">Tries to open the gate.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Fools rush in where Gryphons fear to tread.

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">Well, you recognise these as some rather mid-range plant magic you have heard of while working .The bad news is that from what you remember, they grow on trees.

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">(and yes, this is a bit of a custom twist on something. they are a bit modified things from one of the MMs)

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Ah, that's where I remember them from. They're some kind of plant-thing that grows on trees... and I also saw a big tree that looked a bit the worse for wear.&quot;

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;Do they eat people?&quot;

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">He tries to open the gate.

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">Inventories fire spells

</i>T3h GM:<font color="#000000">The gate creaks and opens.

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">Well, spell.

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

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Bugger. DM, retrieve my token for me? I can't see it.

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

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

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;... uhhhh I think there's somebody by that tree....&quot;

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">Okay.

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;Wait, seriously?&quot;

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Ex-employee gone postal&quot;. So he transferred into the post office?

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">You notice someone besides the tree, dressed in robes. You also notice the tree looks .. odd. There are things hanging from it that resemble.. well, there are I think african birds with nests like that.

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">And yes, I wasn't sure that label displayed to the players too *headdesk*

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

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">And I got a 20 earlier.

VAE:<font color="#000000">the rest.. is just an artefact of maptool. And so can Karis, yeah

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;Whatever, Firo, let's just get looking.&quot;

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;I'm telling you, people in robes in graveyards are bad news!&quot; D: Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Plant entities right in front of him... oh, dear. BTW, how far is it to the church as the bat flies?

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;...What the hell are these things?&quot;

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">Your GM is a moron, needs to look up MM

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">His Run speed is about 12 ms -1 when flying...

VAE:<font color="#000000">lemme think. What's walking speed of a person, roughly in ms-1? About 2?

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">In other words, you can get in, about six,seven minutes by air

VAE:<font color="#000000">Remember, you were tracking through city, so going somewhat slower

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Too far to get help, then. I'm better served by blasting now I think.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Oh, does necromantic spellfire work on plants?

VAE:<font color="#000000">It probably does.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Of course, your advantage is that these haven't noticed you yet, .. yet

VAE:<font color="#000000">I made GM notes on the tree

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Doesn't what?

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Mmhmm.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Unless you took 5 foot step first

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Unless it's a five-foot step.

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">You going to roll for AoO, or what?

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">OR unless all you do is move away.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Does that work, too?

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">With your entire turn. That grants you a &quot;grace step&quot;.

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">That's technically the same as moving 5ft first

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">Whatever. End turn.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">So if all you do with your turn is leave, then you avoid AOOs for the first 5 foot, but you can move further.

VAE:<font color="#000000">because that goes for an action, right

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Well, I don't know about you, but I think that was slightly suspicious...&quot;

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;There was a gagged guy?&quot;

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Hang on, is it me or is the angle of your wings slightly lower than normal? Are you okay, Firo?&quot;

Local Undertaker:<font color="#000000">Headache, yeah. Someone must have bapped me good. Bloody hell, it still kinda hurts

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;Sorry -- wish I was a healer to help -- what're those plant things?&quot;

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;Like he knows THAT, Firo...&quot;

Local Undertaker:<font color="#000000">*presses his eye*

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;I suggest getting reinforcements. Our boss has enough fire power to make this at least less tedious...&quot;

Local Undertaker:<font color="#000000">Bloody hell

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

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">Would Use Rope help?

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">Either way is good. He isn't artfully knotted.

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;Mister, mister, do you know where the Church of Saint Ilja is?&quot; :o

Local Undertaker:<font color="#000000">Yeah.. I mean.. whenever there's a funeral... Father Ignatius always gives me a bottle of rum.

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">That explains why they always converse with the skulls...

Local Undertaker:<font color="#000000">*looks mildly worried*

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;We've got some friends there who can help with the plants. We're... problem-solvers!&quot;

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

Local Undertaker:<font color="#000000">Uh.. I mean.. I know him.. yes.

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;I'm Firo. Who're you?&quot;

Local Undertaker:<font color="#000000">And the church, too.

Local Undertaker:<font color="#000000">Peter... Peter Stachanov...

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;I know that's more of a description, but between strangers with some subtlety and pernicious plant personages, I think the option that didn't tie you up after hitting you is the best.&quot;

Local Undertaker:<font color="#000000">Uh... and. .why are you asking?

* T3h GM snerks, in the meantime

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;Mr. Stachanov, would you mind going to the church and telling them we need some help an' there are plant monsters an' what happened here?&quot;

Local Undertaker:<font color="#000000">Allright! If it's just that.. I..

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;That... you...?&quot;

Local Undertaker:<font color="#000000">Please don' tell anyone about the rum.

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;What rum?&quot; It's hard to tell if he's kidding.

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;I don't see a problem. Unless it's strong enough to be used as an explosive, it's hardly a dangerous habit...&quot;

Local Undertaker:<font color="#000000">Uff.

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;Look, just go, alright?&quot;

Local Undertaker:<font color="#000000">Allright! Allright!

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Interestingly, if you heat rum it boils. Just not for very long.

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;Mm-hmm! Oh -- wait a minute!&quot;

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Because it then is a fuel-air bomb.

Local Undertaker:<font color="#000000">Peter takes off, though first, he goes behind the building nearby.

Tokens dropped onto map 'Graveyard'* Firo takes out a piece of paper and gryphon-scrawls on it, handing it over. &quot;There! Now they'll know it's from --&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">what does the rest of ya do, in the meantime?

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;... There, an' now he's safe.&quot;

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Okay, here's a plan. I have a look over the edge of the tree thing and see what there is. I'll try and get some idea of what's there.&quot;

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;The layout, that sort of thing.&quot;

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;And, of course, if my guess is right and that tree has loads more of them, I might well try to set fire to it. Not after reporting back, though.&quot;

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Bugger! My token is in VBL again.

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">Charges energy in his right hand, and fires it at the robed guy &#171; &#160;1d20 + 3 = 11 + 3 = 14&#160; <font color="#CC0000">&#187; for &#171;  &#160;2d6 = 12&#160; <font color="#CC0000">&#187;

TMG:<font color="#000000">'Kebren'? heh. x3

Liatai:<font color="#000000">T3h GM: Anyways, since he said cavalry... Karis: &quot;...oh, dear. If he'd waited another five minutes I could have sniped the guy until he could barely move.&quot; TMG has connected.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Voltarus just distracted Firo (who was sitting on the warlock to prevent a Leeroy Jenkins moment, in progress...) with the shout &quot;Look, cavalry!&quot;

A man:<font color="#000000">That's a spectacular miss.

TMG:<font color="#000000">what map?

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Graveyard.

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

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">We are failing spectacularly.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Typing speed differences, there...

* VAE especially

* VAE has been awake for 20 hours now. It shows

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

Tokens dropped onto map 'Graveyard'A man:<font color="#000000">As the shot wheezes past him, the fox stops chanting.

A man:<font color="#000000">&quot;What?&quot;

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;Hello there, Mr. Shady.&quot;

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;Voltie why do you have to try to shoot everything that moves?!&quot; D: Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;So much for my exquisite care with the sneakiness... Think we could convince this guy we're not with Voltarus?&quot;

A man:<font color="#000000">&quot;You have nothing to do here.. I have work.&quot;

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">He steps closer.

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Okay. Would you be so kind as to display the paperwork?&quot;

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

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;What work?&quot;

A man:<font color="#000000">&quot;Work... &quot;

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;The environmental impact forms, dark magic authorization, or alternatively bribe receipts, of course...&quot;

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;Ah, well, then, continue. I'm not going to fire at you again, or anything. Bluff: &#171; &#160;1d20 + 6 = 4 + 6 = 10&#160; <font color="#CC0000">&#187;

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Oh, and the signed release forms from the local undead. Some of them are quite attached to their old graves.&quot;

A man:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+5 = 10 + 5 = 15&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; Sense motive

A man:<font color="#000000">&quot;Like I believe you. You are from the militia, are you?&quot;

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;Why have you got someone tied to the tree?&quot;

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

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;No! I'm very confused!&quot; D: Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;This is why I tell you! We have to investigate first, then shoot later! What if this man had had the permits ready! We would have ruined our PR. Oh, and sacrifices are fine on occasion, Firo. Suicidal people register for them.&quot;

A man:<font color="#000000">&quot;Someone... HE ISN'T A SOMEONE. &quot;

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Of course, due to competition, that means that therapists have to pay fees to the government to operate, as they're removing a valuable resource. Also the sacrifices tend to be first-come first-served...&quot;

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;Who is he, then? And why are you chanting to him?&quot; D: A man:<font color="#000000">&quot;To him.. no. I just.. this will be done with in a while.&quot;

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;And for that matter is the chant available in all languages? Access requirements are serious business, mister..&quot;?

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;Well, pardon me, but...You haven't got a while.&quot;

A man:<font color="#000000">&quot;I just.. want the wretch's death to be useful for something.&quot;

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">He fires another blast at him &#171; &#160;1d20 + 3 = 4 + 3 = 7&#160; <font color="#CC0000">&#187; for &#171;  &#160;2d6 = 7&#160; <font color="#CC0000">&#187; damage.

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

A man:<font color="#000000">&quot;It... didn't feel right to just kill him like tha-&quot;

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">bluff &#171; &#160;1d20+7 = 8 + 7 = 15&#160; <font color="#CC6600">&#187; to try to confuse him into giving a name! &quot;This would go a lot smoother if we were able to check our copy of the records. Your name?&quot;

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;WHY THE FUCK AM I CONSTANTLY MISSING?!&quot;

A man:<font color="#000000">*dodges*

A man:<font color="#000000">&quot;And now scram. I have work to do.&quot;

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;That's enough warning shots for now, Voltarus. Do try to restrain yourself, the adults are talking.&quot;

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;SHUT UP!&quot;

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Of course. We'll just file a provisional dark/botanical magic permit, pending authorization.&quot;bluff &#171; &#160;1d20+7 = 11 + 7 = 18&#160; <font color="#CC6600">&#187; &quot;Out of interest, what's the plan?&quot;

A man:<font color="#000000">&quot;Warning shots? Look!&quot; *points to a hole in the nearby grave marker* &quot;Look what have you done. You people are insane.&quot;

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;This is why things would go an awful lot smoother if they were done by the book. We could have put up caution tape.&quot;

A man:<font color="#000000">&quot;What the hell is this? Botanical permits?&quot; &#171; &#160;1d20+5 = 13 + 5 = 18&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Higher modifier wins. x3

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;More dark magic permits. The government doesn't like to see unauthorized dark magic, though of course it's more a matter of competition.&quot;

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;I am a Taun and a warlock...&quot; Turns toward back to the robed man. &quot;And, you? You're going to be feeling ALOT of pain...&quot;

A man:<font color="#000000">&quot;I.. i don't have one.. but what the hell.. this is between me and him.&quot;

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">Charges more energy.

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;But why?&quot;

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">Fires another blast at him &#171; &#160;1d20 + 3 = 17 + 3 = 20&#160; <font color="#CC0000">&#187; for &#171;  &#160;2d6 = 7&#160; <font color="#CC0000">&#187; damage.

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Oh, I see. A revenge situation. That's a form 13d, which streamlines things a *lot.*&quot;

A man:<font color="#000000">&quot;And stop speaking all at once.. you are giving me a headache.. I can't listen to the trees..&quot;

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;I... I don't understand. Why?&quot;

A man:<font color="#000000">*ker-hit*

TMG:<font color="#000000">...So one PC has shot at a guy -three- times now, and negotiations are STILL going on?

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Okay, rush him!&quot;

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Well, I AM playing a Rogue.

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">Roll init?

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Flank-D!

A man:<font color="#000000">&quot;And that's it.&quot; *cough* &quot;You are all..&quot; Arise....

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

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">Either way. As the guy speaks, the tree begins to shake. The nest-like fruits fall of it, and onto the floor

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Eh, they're the right order now.

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">*Er, ground.

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">Floor if you count this as the big server room outside.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">It's very high resolution, though a bit poorly climate controlled.

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;And to think that if you'd just kept quiet, Volt, we could have resolved this with a rapier to the kidneys. Instead, we have to actually fight him.&quot;

Plantling 2:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+1 = 15 + 1 = 16&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; Init

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;Why does anybody have to be killed?!?!&quot; D: Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Basically, inertia.&quot;

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">So, can you do a weapon draw, invocation, and attack in the same turn?

VAE:<font color="#000000">Anyways. You do have surprise turn this time.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Let me know when it is time for the stabbety.

VAE:<font color="#000000">As well, they just fell off, and can't do much this turn

Firo has received initiative.VAE:<font color="#000000">wait

Voltarus has received initiative.Voltarus has received initiative.VAE:<font color="#000000">THa's more like it

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">Can you do weapon draw, Invocation, and attack in the same turn?

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Okay, So skip all the enemies this turn, and start from the top. And no.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Especially not on the suprise round.

VAE:<font color="#000000">THat's what I just did

VAE:<font color="#000000">sorted it, and i'll skip the enemies

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">they don't show up, anyways

VAE:<font color="#000000">Look, now it makes sense to have you go as a surprise.

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">So, does firing close up still count as firing into melee?

VAE:<font color="#000000">No, It ocunts as AoO

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Yes.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">It counts as point blank, right?

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">that's different to melee firing ,i think

VAE:<font color="#000000">Especially with a spell, i'm tempted to allow it to be a pure roll. You know, because you don't have to draw out a bow into someone 's mug

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

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Volt, take precise shot next time you can get a feat.

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">He thrusts his left toward the robed guy, charges energy and fires &#171; &#160;1d20 + 3 = 9 + 3 = 12&#160; <font color="#CC0000">&#187; for &#171;  &#160;2d6 = 8&#160; <font color="#CC0000">&#187; damage.

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">*Left hand

A man:<font color="#000000">Lolnope.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">He's flat footed, right?

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Does that change it?

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">he has high dex, not armour

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Because a ranged touch against a flat footed enemy is against AC 10.

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">Then it does hit *facepaw*

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Flat footed = denied dex bonus to AC.

* VAE forgot the touch bit

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">Well, padded armor + 1, Dex + 1.

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">Or, are we talking about the Robed guy?

A man:<font color="#000000">That actually does hit. He is somewhat blackened.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">We are.

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

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">He chuckles.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Just who was Volt firing at?

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;Still think you got a while?&quot;

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">The man.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Volt just thought we were talking about him?

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">~As usual.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Though, would not that draw attack of opportunity?

VAE:<font color="#000000">Firing close up?

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Flat footed enemies can't take them.

* VAE confused

* VAE headdesk

VAE:<font color="#000000">of course

Firo has received initiative.VAE:<font color="#000000">Next mr. for shaving

Please, just stop!&quot; If Firo succeeds on Grapple, a grapple is started with the fox, and &#171; &#160;1d3+3 = 1 + 3 = 4&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; nonlethal damage is dealt to the fox. &quot;And stop trying to kill him, we need to question him!&quot;

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">It's reacting to a situation, is an AOO. And he's still dealing with the agressive inspectors turned attackers.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Wait, did we just knock him out?

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Awesome. Pacifism attack!

Firo:<font color="#000000">... er. Was he knocked out before or after Firo attacked?

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Looks like by your attack.

A man:<font color="#000000">. &quot;This is the weirdest.. inspection... i have...&quot; *collapses under the gryphon*

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Since it did four subdual.

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">I have to type stuff out!

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">I mean, Lia

VAE:<font color="#000000">It's hard enough, what with me having .. odd mental currents

Karis has received initiative.Firo:<font color="#000000">The gryphon starts trying to drag the man out of melee. End turn!

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Okay, is he unconscious?

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">*transform* *open fire*

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">He is a scrawny fox surviving fireballs to the face and this is a gryphon we are talking about.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Wait, suprise round. Okay, only transform then.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Single movement action.

Voltarus has received initiative.VAE:<font color="#000000">And proper round starts

* Firo floof-squishes the fox.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">That was one hell of a suprise round. &quot;And now, if you will just look at the clipboard-TAKE HIM!&quot;

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">Fires blast at the Root Trefoil &#171; &#160;1d20 + 3 = 20 + 3 = 23&#160; <font color="#CC0000">&#187; for &#171;  &#160;2d6 = 10&#160; <font color="#CC0000">&#187; damage.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Ooh!

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Wait,npe.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Can these be critted? Plant types normally can't, but I don't recognize these ones.

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">Well, I guess that made the trefoil into an open loop.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">(And flat footed lasts until the character gets an action, so these all still are.)

VAE:<font color="#000000">And nope, don't think they can

VAE:<font color="#000000">They are from a 3rd party supplement I got because the Dire template was there.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Token!

VAE:<font color="#000000">Very much don't think so

VAE:<font color="#000000">WHich one are ya talking about?

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">The trefoil? The picture has a bit of text on it.

VAE:<font color="#000000">okay, lemme chec k the book

VAE:<font color="#000000">sorry, but this encounter was designed *months* ago

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">And above &quot;bush can&quot; it has &quot;..mune to-&quot; so I thought it was a bit of &quot;Immune to crits&quot;. I am not disputing.

VAE:<font color="#000000">I have basic notes on the tree

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Note, I am NOT disputing. No need to bother.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">If it's of the Plant type, it's immune to crits.

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">It is plant type indeed

VAE:<font color="#000000">And now, the plantlings get action, actually

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">Fine, Karis kinda succeeded. (the DC was higher) This thing here... it's some nasty arboreal magic combined with who knows what - you aren't a theoretician. However you notice that it seems to be fuelled off the thick wines binding the guy to the tree. Cut or burn those up - they are a bit thick, and there shouldn't be more problems.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">On my way, capitaine!

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Ooh.

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">on other paw, however, failure to do so means more energy for the energy.. tree?

Liatai:<font color="#000000">There's something you can shoot. :P

* Liatai is brick'd

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">'s OK. I might roll high, and my party might notice that I'm attacking the tree.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Volt's stuff would be good

VAE:<font color="#000000">Especially since tree has negligible AC

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">So, Volt should Notice Karis attacking the vines/tree? Should I have him roll for spot?

Liatai:<font color="#000000">... come to think of it, can Firo attack the tree from where he is?

VAE:<font color="#000000">From where he is? no

VAE:<font color="#000000">He would need to get near the trunk

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">There WAS a fifteen foot blast of flame. I think if you need spot, you may be blind.

VAE:<font color="#000000">And that check succeeded

VAE:<font color="#000000">because the DC was, like, -1 or so

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">So, the tree doesn't have an AC?

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">It does, it's just like one.

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">He fires a beam/blast at the vines &#171; &#160;1d20 + 3 = 1 + 3 = 4&#160; <font color="#CC0000">&#187; for &#171;  &#160;2d6 = 8&#160; <font color="#CC0000">&#187; damage.

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">... wow,

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Did he just miss a huge tree. XD

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Do we have the broadside of a barn? He might hit that.

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">I was thinking AC 5 just because how huge it is

VAE:<font color="#000000">and he fails even that.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Hang on.

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

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Dex 0 stationary objects have a -5 to AC, and then apply size.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">If this is Huge it's AC 3.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Gargantuan it's 1.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Colossal, -3.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Trunk itself would be large, i think

VAE:<font color="#000000">and that's where the wines are.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">So it's AC 4.

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

* VAE thought it goes by 2

VAE:<font color="#000000">so he *did* hit

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">No, it's exponential.

VAE:<font color="#000000">and yeah. that's suddenly less HP as one of the wines is severed.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">-1 -2 -4 -8 as number of size categories different increases,.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Does Firo get one as well? Or not, I can't recall.

VAE:<font color="#000000">I think so

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">we did, somehow

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">I'd have to check in the log.

Zora:<font color="#000000">*cough* Where.. are ... the bloody.. dead.. on fire... *wheeze* What the FUCK!?

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Ah, I see you have arrived. There was some unpleasant business involving a tree, some fire, dark magic, botany and about three times as much plant food as I ever want to see again.&quot;

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">Wakes up.

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">Gets up and stands up.

Local Undertaker:<font color="#000000">*looks mildly scared*

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

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;This gentleman here was held by the tree as some kind of fuel source, until we burned him out. This less gentle man over here was doing it.&quot;

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Oh, and I have one hell of a headache.&quot;

Zora:<font color="#000000">Uff... gentleman.. which?...

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;-- Zora Zora there were bad things an' this guy said that guy wasn't a someone and was talking about work an' that guy got hit on the head an' --&quot; D: Zora:<font color="#000000">*sits down on the marble plate*

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;The one currently tied up by Firo is the culprit, the one over by the burned out remains of the tree to my left, your right, was the prisoner.&quot;

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

Zora:<font color="#000000">&quot;Okay.. explain to me slowly... And .. uff.. i na way that makes sense..&quot;

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Though I believe we may want to get his full statement.&quot;

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

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Okay. We went to the home of the potentially important individual we were after, and found him missing and a trail of earth and plant bits.

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;-- He was planning to kill that guy!!!&quot; D: Zora:<font color="#000000">&quot;Which guy? both of them are unconscious!&quot;

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;The one who was being used as a fuel source.&quot;

Firo:<font color="#000000">The gryphon is stll bleeding heavily while delivering this extremely rushed and very confused speech. D: Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Was the potential victim.&quot;

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

Zora:<font color="#000000">&quot;Have you.. identified either of them?&quot;

Zora:<font color="#000000">&quot;Also.. why the hell didn't anyone.. never mind. Why the hell did I run here like an IDIOT just to find a mess that...&quot;

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Anyway, we followed him and found this. At an early point we released the undertaker to go and gain reinforcements... and no, but I have reason to suspect that the mr. Berezovic is the one who is currently next to me.&quot;

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;This guy!&quot; Firo breathlessly pats the unconscious fox with his paw. &quot;That other guy was tied to the tree an' this guy said that guy wasn't a someone an' his death was gonna do something an' --&quot; D: Zora:<font color="#000000">&quot;I see... bloody hell ,at least something.&quot;

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;We were planning on awaiting reinforcement, though certain members of our group had other ideas.&quot;

Zora:<font color="#000000">&quot;Lemme guess which ones...&quot;

Zora:<font color="#000000">&quot;The incubus, amirite?&quot;

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">Of course.

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Indeed, I think that if we check the case notes, it will be evident that this other, unsavoury, tree worshipping individual has some sort of grudge against mr. Berezovic.&quot;

Zora:<font color="#000000">*sigh* &quot;You know.. some of these days...&quot;

Zora:<font color="#000000">&quot;I guess you deduced that from him trying to use supposed Mr. Berezovic as spell fuel..&quot;

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;I would be sympathetic, but I am completely. Out. Of. Magic. That has never happened to me before. And I am also surrounded by the smell of far too much tree sap, and I believe lightly poisoned.&quot;

Zora:<font color="#000000">*stands up* &quot;I don't suppose anyone here has even water.. but honestly, i'd need some vodka&quot;

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;Voltie kept shooting!&quot; D: Zora:<font color="#000000">&quot;So, let's look at the culprits. We'll likely have to drag them to the militia for identification.&quot;

Zora:<font color="#000000">&quot;Actually.. best to drag the militia here.&quot;

Zora:<font color="#000000">&quot;They are there, sitting in their office while i'm the one running like an idiot.&quot;

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Right now, I just want a nice fat moth or two and to forget that ludicrous mess ever happened. What's the point of learning where vitals are if there's never anything there... If you want, I'll fly over there. I need a bit of air.&quot;

Zora:<font color="#000000">&quot;Either way.. I .. probably should commend you lot for this. I mean.. you did manage to deal with the bugger... &quot;

Zora:<font color="#000000">&quot;and both are alive, which is unexpected...&quot;

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Commend Firo for that. He tackled the suspect before Voltarus could finish blowing his torso off.&quot;

TMG:<font color="#000000">Karis: &quot;I would be sympathetic, but I am completely. Out. Of. Magic. That has never happened to me before. And I am also surrounded by the smell of far too much tree sap, and I believe lightly poisoned.&quot;

TMG:<font color="#000000">Channeling Burt? xD

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

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

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Wouldn't you be tempted to?

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">From Tremors.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Awesome old guy.

Zora:<font color="#000000">'That wing does look kinda bad..&quot;

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;I wanna go home.&quot; ;~;

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Burt is awesome. He brings very, very heavy firepower.

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;I've got three ropes in my bag somewhere.&quot;

Zora:<font color="#000000">*sigh* Let's see. Can any of you actually walk?

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;I can. Even fly, actually. I mostly stayed at range.&quot;

Firo:<font color="#000000">The fox has already been tied up by the wibbling gryphon.

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;But I wouldn't be able to carry anything.&quot;

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">*tosses a rope to the gryphon* &quot;Here's another one. Want to do the hostage?&quot;

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;Mm-hmm.&quot;

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;I can carry somebody.&quot;

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;Let's just get going. Maybe the other two are doing better than us.&quot;

Zora:<font color="#000000">Fine. If you care, fly to the militia office, and tell them to be here within twenty minutes of i'll rip their ugly heads off.

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;That, I can do. See you soon.&quot;*shift*

Zora:<font color="#000000">And tell them to bring at least two healing potions.

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

Zora:<font color="#000000">Fuckers, they get a higher quota than we do, anyways.

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">*is using that still-running Prestidigitation to lift his own weight, to aid flight*

Zora:<font color="#000000">*sigh*

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hostage?&quot;

Zora:<font color="#000000">&quot;Have you looked at them? Do they have anyhting useful?&quot;

Zora:<font color="#000000">&quot;Such as, documents?&quot;

Firo:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+16 = 17 + 16 = 33&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; Use Rope check nonetheless.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">A work of art?

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

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

* Firo curls up with a soft whimper, draping his wings over himself and covering his beak with his tail. ;.;

Zora:<font color="#000000">&quot;and.. someone should put out that tree before the marble around starts to crack. Though.. it does look kinda neat..&quot;

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Wow. He gave himself PTSD?

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;I don't know,&quot; comes the muffled response from the gryphon.

Zora:<font color="#000000">&quot;Ah well, there's time.&quot;

Local Undertaker:<font color="#000000">In the meantime, the undertaker wanders off

VAE:<font color="#000000">(Shall I assume dealign with militia was done offscreen or should we RP it, Saph?)

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">(I've actually got lost in the VBL again, over by the wall. So if you want anything other than dialogue, I need rescue. And I think we can assume it was done offscreen.)

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Ah, there we go.

Vlastimil Voska:<font color="#000000">*sigh* I wonder what is it this time.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Well, think about it. You're a kid, doing your first job as a courier, and suddenly, less than a week later, you're surrounded by people killing each other and shouting and conspiracies and chaos. I think any normal person -would- have a touch of PTSD after that. ^^;

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Oh, true.

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

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">as such ,it'll get remembered ;3

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Just that it sounded like it was the rope knot that set him off. It struck me as funny.

Vlastimil Voska:<font color="#000000">&quot;Commander Voska reporting... So, where are they... &quot;

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

Zora:<font color="#000000">&quot;Over there, and over there. Oh, and the potions, commander.&quot;

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">First few are by the bush near the gate. The rest are under the enormous pillar of smoke.&quot;

Vlastimil Voska:<font color="#000000">*hands them over* ''Bitch.. they have three times our budget for half as much people, and not like they have to go on patrols. ''

Annoyed militionary:<font color="#000000">*handcuffing both individuals at the moment*

Zora:<font color="#000000">&quot;Thankee, commander&quot; *hands them to Firo.* &quot;There you go.&quot;

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Did you know that if you use the majority of your day's magic in one sustained burst, your core actually sort of burns? It's a very strange kind of ache.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">(2 LH potions, should be enough for firo and volt to walk home)

Vlastimil Voska:<font color="#000000">&quot;And let's see who do we have here.&quot;

* Firo takes them and holds them in his front paws, re-curling his tail around them.

* Firo blinks.

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

Vlastimil Voska:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hmm.. Kazimir Antonovic Novakov.... Josip Berezovic...The only time either of those had to go 'round our parts was having their documents stamped.&quot;

* Firo uncurls and walks over, handing one to Firo and drinking one himself. &#171; &#160;1d8+1 = 8 + 1 = 9&#160;  &#187;

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Well, it'll be a new experience for them. And frankly a confusing one - I think I had Kazimir half convinced I was a goverment black magic inspector.&quot;

Firo:<font color="#000000">His wounds heal entirely, though his tail and wings are still held low.

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;With a speciality in botany.&quot;

Vlastimil Voska:<font color="#000000">It's one of those days, apparently. Being chased from office by a bat, to come arrest two supposedly clean citizens near a burning tree at a cemetery...

</i>Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">I so wish I could hear that enough to snark on it. And I spent today killing hedges that wanted to do it to me first.

Vlastimil Voska:<font color="#000000">I almost think this is a dream and i'm some sort of brain in a jar, like that philosopher .. what was his name.. .but that's nonsense, anyways.

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot; I just wanna go home. &quot;

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">Either way, both of those leave.

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">And after commanding the undertaker to deal with the fire.. I assume the rest of you sets towards the church.

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">Seems like a good endpoint, unless you have anything to say

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;I propose we go right back to the church, and back to sleep. Write the day off until we can think straight... and until the poison wears off...&quot;

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Where are we going?&quot; from Firo. Reminded me of kids in the car.

VAE:<font color="#000000">And yeah, Lia, if you still want to put Firo on a break due to being hard to play two chars at once, now would likely be a good time for him to ask for a holiday

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">There was a door, and it was open, but you blew it up anyway. (Voltarus)
