''Liatai has connected. ''


 * VAE mroweth

Liatai:Yo.

VAE:Saph is coming very soon

VAE:However, TC isn't even on skyp

VAE:Despite me bloody telling him the game moved and to when


 * VAE headdesk

''Saphroneth has connected. ''


 * VAE mroweth

VAE:saph, if I tell you TC ins't even on skype yet, though I did tell him game is on, and when, will you shoot me?

Saphroneth:No. I'll just be disappointed. At him.

VAE:wait, i hope I did tell him - it was on the IRC


 * VAE scared

VAE:I remmeber saying the game moved to 6pm sunday due to lia

VAE:hmm what shall we do in the meantime

Liatai:Make tea? ^^;

VAE:possibly ,though the kitchen is full

Saphroneth:I hurriedly ate, does that count?


 * VAE can't even go in to heat his leftovers

TMG:There's always shenannigans. :B

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

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">I'm setting up my new iPod. (It was a very, very old iPod nano first gen, but apparently the batteries on those turned out to sometimes explode and they had to offer replacements. So I got, for free, an upgrade to a touchscreen modern one with twice the memory. Serendipity!)

VAE:<font color="#000000">lucky saph

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">On the other hand, by that point it was so old that the battery life was measurable in minutes.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">So I think of it as a perseverance reward...

TMG:<font color="#000000">Unless you guys call off the game due to TC. Then I could play dwarf fortress, and I'd be fine with that, too. :B

TMG:<font color="#000000">If there are shenannigans, I wonder if I can bring in Xephelon, for the heck of it...

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">We could do that. I haven't exploded anything with Shenodah in a while... or dealt Massive Damage, for that matter...

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">&gt;Warp Aci kidnap the cast to the Box Room

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

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">&gt;Box Room now canon

VAE:<font color="#000000">anyways. VAE just finished writing up a letter which we'll need if the game happens properly

VAE:<font color="#000000">and now, he guesses box room it will be

VAE:<font color="#000000">anyways. Box Room is caleld dnd_maps_0002 or somesuch

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


 * Liatai needs tea, be back soon. ^^;

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">There will be a short pause for Liatea.


 * VAE too. At least he has Sainsbury coke


 * VAE actually likes Sainsbutry Classic cola moar than normal sorts.


 * VAE lynxrages at the stupid shop ceasing to sell Dandelion and Burdock

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">I'll go beverage myself, then.

VAE:<font color="#000000">good idea


 * VAE will check kitchen for access to dinner

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Actually, while tea is brewing... do you mind if I take a moment to doodle and write up a character sheet? What ECL of characters are we bringing into the Box Room?

VAE:<font color="#000000">ya decide

TMG:<font color="#000000">I didn't think we'd bother wis ECL. I wsn't even going to stat Xephelon. :B

TMG:<font color="#000000">*wasn't

VAE:<font color="#000000">hmm, box room isn't... quite like that

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Because now the mental image of succubus!Crystal as a member of Clan Kish'ta won't leave me alone.

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

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


 * VAE aslo got dinnerz

VAE:<font color="#000000">nomlynx is nomming

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">The difference between Dimanaka and Daryil: Dimanaka are just nuts, Daryil are basically trolls.

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Need an ECL, please. :3

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

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">The chars I'm thinking of using are about 15, but that might be well over &quot;can make in a short time&quot;. OTOH, templates like lv10 cubi, so...

VAE:<font color="#000000">what was Shenodahs/

VAE:<font color="#000000">sounds good, though

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Okay, so... what about beguiler 4, cubi 6, to get her a warp-aci?

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

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">The three theories of the origin of life in Furrae:Evolution, Creation by deities, and ADDD. Attention Deficit Disorder Design, which basically says &quot;The Fae did it.&quot;

TMG:<font color="#000000">...you've got to find a place to say that in the forums, saph. xD

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Let's see... feats, feats, feats...

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Feats as a being, or no?

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Hmmm... tough one/

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">#protip: Use at least two feats, or you won't be able to walks.

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

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">who'd you folks want to see more. Zora's boss, or Kallis, or someone else?

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Dunno, really.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">I'll go with &quot;Else&quot; for randomnes.

VAE:<font color="#000000">lemme see then..

Liatai:<font color="#000000">What's the maneuverability on avian wings?

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yYprdmE1dFc Tri wing theme music?

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

TMG:<font color="#000000">hey, danman

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

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Generally it's clumsy.

TMG:<font color="#000000">that 'gimp' program, you can use that to modify and edit images, right?

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">it's the point of it

TMG:<font color="#000000">Can you use it to, say, change something that's the color red to the color green?

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

TMG:<font color="#000000">Cool. Hang on a sec...

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">If a bipedal species has wings in D&amp;D, I mean. But it could be &quot;Poor&quot; if they have flight instincts... ruling required?

TMG:<font color="#000000">can you paste imagefiles to pastebin?

VAE:<font color="#000000">Not sure

VAE:<font color="#000000">you have imageshack, thogh

TMG:<font color="#000000">guess I'll find out.

TMG:<font color="#000000">Eh. Sticking it on akellonswap.

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

TMG:<font color="#000000">stuck a token image in the akellonswap drafts, in the (no subject) draft

TMG:<font color="#000000">if you can change the three red lights to green, that'd be great. :&gt;

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">i'll do it, but also.

VAE:<font color="#000000">What species template you lot think would qualify for goats etc?

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Equine and Bovine.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;6+9d6 = 6 + 33 = 39&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">... okay, definitely getting Kish'ta Crystal a constitution booster. :B

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Amulet of Health + Ioun stone is probably best value.

Using a bulldozer abandoned by the Air Force, he spent two years and great effort pushing boulders into a single word. It can be seen from 10,000 feet, silhouetted against the snow. Government officials exchanged memos full of circumlocutions (no Latin equivalent exists) but failed to word an appropriation bill for the destruction of this cairn, that wouldn't alert the press and embarrass both Parliament and Party. It stands today, a monument to human spirit. If life exists on other planets, this may be the first message received from us. -- The Realist, November, 1964.

VAE:<font color="#000000">fun fortune quote

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Let me guess. The word is obscene?


 * VAE suspects it's &quot;fuck&quot; or something

VAE:<font color="#000000">okay ,tech, this is something nasty

VAE:<font color="#000000">see, the picture isn't drawn it seems. Thing is there's a ton of different shades of red kinda spreading forth

TMG:<font color="#000000">yeeeah, it's a CGI photograph. &gt;.&gt;

VAE:<font color="#000000">yeah, that's the problem

Liatai:<font color="#000000">I can fix that.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">One moment.

TMG:<font color="#000000">Is it impossible to work with? if so, I can live with the red and just tell everyone to pretend it's green...

VAE:<font color="#000000">how can ya?


 * VAE is really, really interested

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Doing that kind of replace might be hard. The simplest thing to do would be to swap R and G codes in the image bits, but I don't know if that's possible over a limited area...

Liatai:<font color="#000000">The same way I fixed Kan's robes in Cold War. :3

VAE:<font color="#000000">now, how the hell is that done?

Liatai:<font color="#000000">It involves using layers, Select By Color, and Colorize.

VAE:<font color="#000000">ahh, lemem see

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Simply - make transparent layer.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Draw over what you want to color on the transparent layer with any color.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Select the color blob.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Go back to the actual layer.


 * TMG curiously watches the image editor people at work :.

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Delete transparent layer. :3

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Cripes. The most I've ever done is Inkscape... though that WAS a geological map for a dissertation.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">You want the red to be green, yes?

TMG:<font color="#000000">Liatai; yup!

TMG:<font color="#000000">a kind of a neon green, if possible, but I'll most certainly take what I can get. :&gt;


 * VAE isn't sure this is doing the actual required effect. Leaves it to liatai, he guesses

VAE:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;4d12+12+15 = 27 + 12 + 15 = 54&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Ooh, averageness.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Okay, it's not perfect.

Tokens dropped onto map 'dnd_maps_0002'TMG:<font color="#000000">That's allright. :&gt;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">How's that?

TMG:<font color="#000000">it actually works pretty well, thanks! :&gt;

VAE:<font color="#000000">yep, kinda works

Liatai:<font color="#000000">It's easier with pixel art. ^^;

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

Tokens dropped onto map 'dnd_maps_0002'* VAE wonders whether imposing a colour gradient would work

Micaiah 3:<font color="#000000">This...

TMG:<font color="#000000">Yeah, but I culdn't find anything else remotely similar. ^^;

Tokens dropped onto map 'dnd_maps_0002'TMG:<font color="#000000">VAE; uh...

Micaiah Green Odd-Eyed:<font color="#000000">... got recolored to this with that technique.

TMG:<font color="#000000">I think that's exactly a token Liatai used for Kan! xD

TMG:<font color="#000000">oh

TMG:<font color="#000000">Whups. :B

TMG:<font color="#000000">that IS liatai. :B

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">gotta try my paw on this technique


 * VAE apparently learned somethign today. Bwee!

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Crud I forgot I left my tea brewing.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">*runs in circles*

VAE:<font color="#000000">wait ,what did I do,there's more hit dice than that

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Cyberman: DILUTE DILUTE DILUTE

VAE:<font color="#000000">you are mistaking it with Osmosis man


 * TMG ....hates on the numbered nameless maps. Fixes furiously!

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Cybermen say DELETE like Daleks say EXTERMINATE.

VAE:<font color="#000000">tech, point is, this map used to have a different purpose

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Oh, was this one of the &quot;skipped&quot; floors in the assassination of DP?

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

TMG:<font color="#000000">There. maps fixed.


 * VAE claws at Tech

VAE:<font color="#000000">sorcerers have 1d4 hit die, da?

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;5d4+15 = 10 + 15 = 25&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">... crud, I royally messed this up.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">I forgot beguilers cast with Int.

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

TMG:<font color="#000000">but...the SHOULD be cha!

VAE:<font color="#000000">maybe it's odd like archivists

TMG:<font color="#000000">That's weird and unusual.

VAE:<font color="#000000">They get spells from Wis, but the spell strength is Int

VAE:<font color="#000000">or something like that

VAE:<font color="#000000">either way, Miron had to have both high

TMG:<font color="#000000">yeah, some casters are split like that

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">It's how Beguilers are calculating and coldly use the people they beguile. ...or something.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">(That makes sense, right?)

Liatai:<font color="#000000">... man this is going to make skill points a pain. :B

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Okay, let's see. First three levels... &#171; &#160;9*6 = 9 * 6 = 54&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Int goes up at ECL 4, so... no change in modifier... &#171; &#160;54+36 = 54 + 36 = 90&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">And then two levels with another Int boost... &#171; &#160;90+20 = 90 + 20 = 110&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">SKILL MONKEEEEEYS *shakefist* :B

TMG:<font color="#000000">You crazy lia. Why you stat a character for a single day of shenannigans. D:

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

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Because this is how you get good at speedstatting?

VAE:<font color="#000000">techcubi is finally on

Liatai:<font color="#000000">BECAUSE I CAN. :B *brick'd*

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

TMG:<font color="#000000">Oh wow, techcubi IS coming around? Hmm.

TMG:<font color="#000000">Guess that means you'll be doing an actual game?

VAE:<font color="#000000">okay, i did want to try a high level demon, but whatever

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Darn. I mean.

TMG:<font color="#000000">Liatai; hehehehe. xD

VAE:<font color="#000000">also, on closer inspection, poor Alexei's token appears to be femal

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">No reason we can't just shenannigan. I mean, it'd be better for me actually.

VAE:<font color="#000000">also, on closer inspection, poor Alexei's token appears to be female

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

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">busy with something?

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">I have lectures tomorrow morning, so I'd prefer to have the ability to leave more easily without reaching a wrap point.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Normally (on the fridays) I have noooothing on the next morning.

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

TMG:<font color="#000000">Oh. So there he is. :U

VAE:<font color="#000000">Well, i guess we'll have to vote

VAE:<font color="#000000">VAE thinks we do have enough time for usual game length, just that Saph will have to bap me when he's passing out :3

VAE:<font color="#000000">but well, doesn't matter eeithr way

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Not a matter of passing out so much as a matter of trying to absorb delicious geology information (hard centered!) on six hours' sleep. But then, we're here for fun, right? I'll just let you know when I'm declaring time when it happens.

TMG:<font color="#000000">Oh, um.

TMG:<font color="#000000">One other thing/

TMG:<font color="#000000">In two and a half hours, Greedverse starts.

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">you can rrun two instances of maptool IIRC


 * VAE has done it

TMG:<font color="#000000">Unlike ghost's Ubercomputer, I don't think I can run two maptool instances stably at the same time. I'll give it a shot if we do shenannigans, thought.

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

TMG:<font color="#000000">My computer is a dinosaur. 2002. :B

VAE:<font color="#000000">well, if ghost is around, then he can run for me...

VAE:<font color="#000000">so it does work either way

TMG:<font color="#000000">But yeah. If you guys run shenannigans, then I'll keep this up and we can see what happens.

TMG:<font color="#000000">And if you run a real game, it'd probably be better to get Ghost

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Shall we flip a coin?

TMG:<font color="#000000">Thought you were gonna vote? :.

TMG:<font color="#000000">Anyone gonna fill TC in?

VAE:<font color="#000000">well, asking for vote, too XD

VAE:<font color="#000000">also, finishing off the gross colouring on Saphs char portrait

Techubi:<font color="#CC0000">Could you guys hold on, and let me figure out Volt's total EXP?

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">...dang. I think I forgot to level. What are the effects of hitting LVL3? Any feats?

Liatai:<font color="#000000">-- Oh crud I need to level Crystal.


 * Liatai flails.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">I'm good for either. Typically once you reach 3 HD you gain feats.


 * Liatai searches for Complete Arcane.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d6 = 2&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Okay, folks, decision time.

VAE:<font color="#000000">i think third level gives ya feats

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Do I give Firo his first bard level now, giving us some healing... or his next gryphon level and gain us some wings? :B

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">I think Dodge is a good idea here for me. Also, tough one.

VAE:<font color="#000000">remember, you lot have ton of potions to heal XD

Techubi:<font color="#CC0000">How much did we get last session?

VAE:<font color="#000000">I had to tell ya somewhere

VAE:<font color="#000000">on the IRC i think

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

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">They have IRC section appended IIRC.

VAE:<font color="#000000">yeah, i attached it there

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">...IRC IIRC acronym collision argle.

VAE:<font color="#000000">350 Roleplaying, 800 battle, and some more for nominations

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Aaaaagh why can I find the freaking PLANAR HANDBOOK and not Complete Arcane. &gt;:O


 * Liatai flips a table.

VAE:<font color="#000000">because VAE felt like fucking Ded Moroz, and because you beat something two levels above yer CR

Liatai:<font color="#000000">... oh there it is.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Level up! Discrete and Substantial improvement in competence attained! Circus skills attained!

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">(I took 6 ranks in tumble.)

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

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Also as bat-furre I can hide so startlingly well that commoners have not a hope of finding me. Well, a 5% chance.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Heh, I love how D&amp;D skills work, especially epically. An epic character can walk on clouds, open doors by kicking them and casually land from any height with no damage. Which is probably handy if she goes around standing on clouds, really...

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">replace doors&gt;locks

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">as an aside, saph. Got the gross colours on the picture, so it looks a bit better. Will have to shade it, but that's far longer work

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Sor/Wiz illusion or enchantment spell of 1st level or lower.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;I am a man of wealth and taste. Your wealth.&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Is the Spell Compendium open?

Techubi:<font color="#CC0000">So, with third level, I just need to add skills, abilities and a feat?

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

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Also for some saves they go up, and for some BAB types they go up.

VAE:<font color="#000000">I'm not minding any books except Faerun/Eberron because I don't have them, and Psionics, because I never figured it out

VAE:<font color="#000000">(don't have it, either, but it's on SRD)

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">I remember the most fun thing I ever found in Magic of Faerun was the Spellfire feat/class.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Net of Shadows get.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">It's basically absorb and redirect enemy magic, often as blasts resembling those of a warlock. High level Spellfire Channelers can take a fireball to the face and use it to HEAL.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Heal! Heal! Touch the screen!

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Jesus he knows me, and he steers clear because I could make him fall through the water...

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Bard or gryphon, bard or gryphon...

Techubi:<font color="#CC0000">Do you guys think Volt could have learned Gryphon since our last session?

Liatai:<font color="#000000">... let's go bard. I'd like to make it something of a character-development moment when Firo actually learns to fly. :3

VAE:<font color="#000000">Sounds good

Tokens dropped onto map 'Church HQ'Liatai:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d6-1 = 2 - 1 = 1&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; come on no whammies no whammies!

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Wah-wah-wah. &gt;:

Tokens dropped onto map 'Church HQ'TMG:<font color="#000000">Liatai; ohnoes D:

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Flare, Dancing Lights, or Lullaby? What do you guys think?

Techubi:<font color="#CC0000">Would Arcane Mastery be a good feat?

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Firo's spells right now are Prestidigitation, Message, and Know Direction. He has room for one more.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">What does it do?

VAE:<font color="#000000">okay, was that a HP roll?

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Yeah, that was. ^^;

Techubi:<font color="#CC0000">You can take 10 on Caster level checks.

TMG:<font color="#000000">Hmm...Dancing Lights can be a great signal spell/diversion/what have you if you're creative enough. Just look at OotS. :B

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">I suspect from what I heard of Akellon last night that Miron has the Dodge feat. Specifically, he declared his dodge on &quot;Questions&quot;.

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

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">yes. That was neato

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Yeah, Dancing Lights is a good utility spell.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">However, Firo has darkvision, and Crystal is a beguiler, so we already have plenty of dancing lights.

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

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">I have Daze...

VAE:<font color="#000000">you'll all do dancing lights

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">And Dancing Lights, for that matter.

VAE:<font color="#000000">and then we'll do Karameldansen

TMG:<font color="#000000">Hmm.

TMG:<font color="#000000">What's Lullaby do?

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZjczJNefsME

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Makes the subject drowsy. -5 on Spot and Listen, and -2 on saves versus sleep.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">VAE: http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/lullaby.htm

Techubi:<font color="#CC0000">So, level 3 HD.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Arcane Mastery is good if you're facing a lot of enemies with spell resistance.

Techubi:<font color="#CC0000">&#171; &#160;1d6 + 1 = 1 + 1 = 2&#160; <font color="#CC0000">&#187;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">We're not, yet. But t's something good to keep in mind for the future -- OUCH.

Tokens dropped onto map 'Church HQ'Liatai:<font color="#000000">This is the Level of Bad HP Rolls. :B

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">&#171; &#160;1d6+2 = 5 + 2 = 7&#160; <font color="#CC6600">&#187;

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Except for Saph. :B

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

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">I remember when Miron first levelled up

VAE:<font color="#000000">Tech was mentioning about taking half, and I declared that i'll roll because it has higher expected value

Liatai:<font color="#000000">... okay, skill points.

VAE:<font color="#000000">after professing my faith in mathematics, I rolled a 6, and in total gained 9 HP

Techubi:<font color="#CC0000">So, we going to start soon?

VAE:<font color="#000000">Miron was briefly the highest HP character in game

VAE:<font color="#000000">as I said - once you folks stat out, there's to be vote

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Got to level please don't rush me D:


 * VAE was just saying that

VAE:<font color="#000000">once you folks stat out

VAE:<font color="#000000">holy fuck

VAE:<font color="#000000">there's some sort of party going on in my hall

VAE:<font color="#000000">i mean.. i barely could go wash my hands for excess people

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Level up, gain insight. :B *+4 Sense Motive ranks*

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Now just for a feat.

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">VAE, do Gryphon Bs need the Surrogate Spellcasting feat to be able to cast spells? ^^;;;;

VAE:<font color="#000000">wait, what feat is that?

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Means you don't need hands for somatics

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

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Savage Species. It always struck me as silly.

VAE:<font color="#000000">lemme see

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Well, I'm literally guessing, but it seems I was right.

VAE:<font color="#000000">I don't think so.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">It means you can use a tentacle, or a paw, or talons, for somatic components, and chirps and such for verbal ones.

VAE:<font color="#000000">I mean... DMFA doesn't take a lot of emphasis on these sorts of things, anyways

Liatai:<font color="#000000">It seems silly to me. I mean, if a creature's smart enough to know how to cast a spell, it can darn well figure out how to use its body to cast it. :B

VAE:<font color="#000000">and well, the creatures aren't *that* advantaged to be forced to bother with this

VAE:<font color="#000000">And yes, Lia is right

VAE:<font color="#000000">I'm just saying, I don't want it there for both story and balance reasons

VAE:<font color="#000000">what with the levels lost, creature spellcasters are hurt already

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">I think we can assume that the somatics of DMFA spells, being developed in an environment with critters like this, have workarounds. Like running &quot;MANE&quot;, or Manipulatory Appendage N Emulator. (As the scholars put it, &quot;we couldn't come up with anthing for N to stand for&quot;.)

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

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Though your ability to use MANE may be degraded by WINE.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Combat Expertise, Endurance, or Improved Unarmed Strike (to serve as a prerequisite for Improved Grapple)?

VAE:<font color="#000000">also, he already speaks common

VAE:<font color="#000000">oh, also lia.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Once he hits 4 HD in a while, there are the improvements to natural weapons that were added

VAE:<font color="#000000">basically, adds 1 die of damage to the roll

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Oh? Beyond what happens with gryphon levels?

VAE:<font color="#000000">well, i made it work for everyone

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Does this happen with other characters with claws? *looks at Crystal*

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">it was mainly made with those in mind

VAE:<font color="#000000">because they have no ways to improve their weapons otherwise

VAE:<font color="#000000">as in, unless wielding something

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Bat mode Karis: Yay, I get to do 2d1-4 damage!

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">I'm kidding.

VAE:<font color="#000000">so then, the idea is there's choice between magic weapons, or actual natural ones

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Bats are too small to have statted attacks.

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

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Their HD is a d8/4

VAE:<font color="#000000">2d1-4 .. would be fun if it actually healed

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Here, use this healing shiv.&quot; STAB &quot;Oh, hang on, that's the regular shiv.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">also, FoF is fun .Apparently Baseel and Aleyna consider Vlad some sort of cultist

VAE:<font color="#000000">So of course, demons being what they are they invited him to drink with them. VAE nearly fell off chair lawling

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Endurance would be good for a messenger... but Firo does end up in grapple a lot. Improved Unarmed Strike. WING SLAP.

VAE:<font color="#000000">hee. He's good with tha

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">From a ponies thing that I found hilarious (from the evil goddess of the night, here): &quot;...ponies these days no longer equate sunset with bedtime. My nights are genuinely appreciated now. I even have cults! Do you have any idea how much fun it is to have a cult dedicated to you? It's like having the most adorable fan club filled with ponies who will do anything if they think it will make you happy!&quot;

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Cults: fanclubs of the dark ages?

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Okay, need food, then to level tokens.


 * VAE already defeated leftover pork with bread

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Right... so.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">I vote for actual game, mainly because it will save me from another mad statting spree. ^^;

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">But those are fun!

TMG:<font color="#000000">You crazy lia &gt;:O

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">...on the other hand, last time I started worldbuilding I came out of the other side twelve hours later with ten thousand words of AU LOTR fic...

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

TMG:<font color="#000000">After that sudden statting, you don't even want to use it for shenannigans like planned? Oh well...

VAE:<font color="#000000">And it's an awesome one

TMG:<font color="#000000">Okay. TC's vote?

VAE:<font color="#000000">Tech, I reccomend for you. Saruman is a strategist and inventor, and I helped with some of the tech aspects of it

VAE:<font color="#000000">I think you of all people would like the fic

Liatai:<font color="#000000">It's not even half done, Tech! ^^;

Techubi:<font color="#CC0000">Are there more gryphons than just Firo if we do Actual game?

VAE:<font color="#000000">There are NPCs ,yes


 * VAE recalls at least three

VAE:<font color="#000000">Gus, Twree ,and two more in fact

Techubi:<font color="#CC0000">Would there be any NPCs if we did Shenanigans?

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">I will just leave this here http://www.fanfiction.net/u/2996114/Saphroneth

VAE:<font color="#000000">well, i'd slap in some


 * VAE was pondering using the factory director

Techubi:<font color="#CC0000">Let's try for an actual game.


 * VAE wonders how do they stand up to actual combat

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">We could do shennanigans with the current game's characters, of course...

VAE:<font color="#000000">Fine, map change

VAE:<font color="#000000">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xS2O7pOylkk

TMG:<font color="#000000">so, you folks are doing an actual game?

VAE:<font color="#000000">Le chevalier d'eon ending music

VAE:<font color="#000000">VAE just loves it

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">So, is it decided?

Techubi:<font color="#CC0000">Let's try for actual game.

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">Are everyone's tokens updated?

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

TMG:<font color="#000000">Alright then. Lemme see if we can wrangle ghostwish to be your host. Cuz I'd like to play some dwarf fortress if you're not gonna do shenannigans and this comp can't handle both. ^^;

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

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

TMG:<font color="#000000">if ghost doesn't show up though, I'll keep this up anyway

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Now they are.

TMG:<font color="#000000">Looks like he's unresponsive. Oh well.

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

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

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

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">I move we go to shennanigans IIF there is no other host.

VAE:<font color="#000000">also, update the tokens on the Church HQ map

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">(In such case, current characters shennanig...ing?)

VAE:<font color="#000000">sounds also good XD

Techubi:<font color="#CC0000">Which map is everyone else on?

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Woo, colored Karis!

VAE:<font color="#000000">Church HQ

TMG:<font color="#000000">Hrm. yeah, ghost seems to be away. Oh well, I'll keep this up for yu folks. Have server, will game. :U

VAE:<font color="#000000">colored and unshaded

VAE:<font color="#000000">because lynx didn't have time to shade

VAE:<font color="#000000">he though he'll do it all, but bloody hell, yesterday's discussion on irc...

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Idea for session: Closed space has developed. Nothing that occurs will be of any consequence. Also, there are random monsters appearing on the streets.

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

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">there is combat likely for this session, anyways

Liatai:<font color="#000000">... actually... if I may be... rather brazen... &gt;&gt;;;;

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Secret police rangers, assemble! Do we have a giant robot available?

Techubi:<font color="#CC0000">Can't we just try actual game?

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">...sorry, never mind.

TMG:<font color="#000000">Yeah, guys

VAE:<font color="#000000">,e,mt

Liatai:<font color="#000000">... ourcharactersaresuperunderfundedfortheirlevel *flees*

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

TMG:<font color="#000000">go ahead and play an actual game

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">They are at that.

TMG:<font color="#000000">TC's pushing for an actual game, Liatai asked for an actual game, go ahead and play. It's allright.

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">Allrightee. So, last time on Le Chevalier d'Kebre, you sorry lot have applied advanced rodenticidal and fungicidal methods (read sword) in an abandoned mine shaft, messed with Fedor the world's most important storage officer, came a step closer to driving your boss insane, and delivered less than happy news to a certain equine family.

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">All in all, something is pointing at the mine trouble not happening by itself, which is indeed bad news, as Zora hoped to earn a bonus by going through new year with no unsolved cases :3

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Also Karis defeated an alternate side of his personality in a thrilling mental battle. Sadly, this wsn't apparent as it all took a fraction of a second and this is the fifth time this week.


 * VAE snerks

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Could be why he's colourful now, though...

VAE:<font color="#000000">Does it means when I shade him properly he'll be a shady character?

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">He already is. It'll mean he's finally worked out how to absorb the other personality fragment, instead of just kicking it in the head.

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

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

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

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

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">(Does this count as bat latin?)

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">best examlpe of that was from Yamara

VAE:<font color="#000000">Denise Olthlay, the drow deity

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">So, if everyone recalls... your boss promised to do a few background checks for you, you planned on looking at the pub as well, perhaps... what does everyone do?

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;You guys mind if Firo and I check out the pub?&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Hang on, need to check the log...

VAE:<font color="#000000">Anyone is free to do so.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Log is on the wiki

VAE:<font color="#000000">also, anyone wanting it http://www.srcf.ucam.org/~dm510/dndmfa.odt

VAE:<font color="#000000">the ruleset in a document form

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Not really. I'll probably grab a slightly older-than-normal fruit if I want to get drunk, scaling issues are really helpful for that. An overripe apple is like a keg of cider the size of your body.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">sligtly old, but i got it too

Crystal:<font color="#000000">&quot;I'll come along. A drink is sounding pretty good right around now.&quot;

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;I'll just hang aroung outside.&quot;

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

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;Come on, Firo.&quot;

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;I'm coming.&quot;

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">try the link again - should work now

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">ddin't have permissions, see

TMG:<font color="#000000">(Note Ah...you know, I'm going to see if this computer -can- run dwarf fortress at the same time. Um. If the server disconnects, I'll bring it back up ASAP and won't experiment anymore. &gt;.&gt; Just giving ya a heads-up. )

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

Michail:<font color="#000000">&quot;Soundink good&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">and now the pub does have a map to itself, too


 * Crystal thwaps Voltarus on the back of the head.

Crystal:<font color="#000000">&quot;He's a child.&quot;

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

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;What does that have to do with anything?&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">Flameless torch is the correct one, though wait a moment

Crystal:<font color="#000000">&quot;I saw that smirk.&quot; |3

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;Because I figured it out.&quot;

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

Crystal:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh?&quot;

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

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;What'd you figure out?&quot; :.

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;OH, nothin', Firo.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">so, map move, VAE guess?

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;Awww, c'mon, tell me!&quot;

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

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">May as well while this argument plays out.

VAE:<font color="#000000">when all is ready, go to Flameless torch map. Tokens are there

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;Why not?&quot; &gt;:|

VAE:<font color="#000000">And yes, i'm being slightly stupid about it.. but then, when aren't I

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;Look, you'll learn what it is eventually, alright?&quot;

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;Is this another cojones thing?&quot;

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">*more than meets the eye...*

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">Anyways, you slowly approach the Flameless Torch again, and this time for whatever reason, the tavern feels far more solid.

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;No,Genius, it is not...&quot;

Karis:''<font color="#CC6600">Ooh, redecorated. And re-rendered, too. ''

Firo:<font color="#000000">&quot;Then why won't you tell me now?&quot; &gt;:I

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

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

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;NO.&quot;

Firo:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+4 = 4 + 4 = 8&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; Diplomacy check. &quot;I promise I won't tell!&quot;

TMG:<font color="#000000">(okay, loading up a dwarf fortress save file...if this is going to disconnect, now will be the time)


 * Crystal steps to the door and looks in. Hmm, lots of security tonight.

Techubi:<font color="#CC0000">Should Intimidate be used to counter diplomacy?

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

TMG:<font color="#000000">game loaded...still stable?

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

TMG:<font color="#000000">Cool.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Diplomacy is usually countered with Diplomacy, but you can try. :B

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Or Sense Motive.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Voltie is giving me the image of Amvrosij Ambroisovic Vybegallo, one of the wizards in a soviet short story XD

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">Intimidate: &#171; &#160;1d20 + 8 = 4 + 8 = 12&#160; <font color="#CC0000">&#187; &quot;Firo, shut up before I lock you in a closet...&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">Countering diplomacy with intimidation

Firo:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+4 = 5 + 4 = 9&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; Sense Motive...

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">em, not a short story, actually , bad name

VAE:<font color="#000000">let's say, long story :#

Techubi:<font color="#CC0000">Want me to counter with bluff or end it there?

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

Michail:<font color="#000000">&quot;I think door got smaller since was here last time!&quot;

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;Maybe YOU got bigger.&quot;

Michail:<font color="#000000">&quot;Maybe so. Either way, am small bear compared to grandpa.&quot;

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Epic level druid at diplomatic meeting. Other person uses intimidate. Druid counters with Bluff, and a five thousand ton rock lands on the table.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">... crud what was that engineer's name. Jelena? *logsearch*

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">So, as you lot enter, you notice a few more miners, security guards, even the healer that you seen in the mine.

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">*Looks around for gryphons*

Angry Security:<font color="#000000">&quot;Like I tell you.. if they don't give me a bonus for this, screw a job like that.&quot;


 * Crystal holds the door open for Michail. :3

Bored Security:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yah, screwup.&quot;

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Steven Stone. His parents, one of them the famously rich Mr. Stone, died at a young age in a battle between Team Aqua and Team Magma. He brooded for months, training his body and Pokemon, until he finally made up his mind to become a vigilante. At that point a Crobat hit the window, and he declared that he was Vengeance! He was the Night! He was BATMON!

Healer.:<font color="#000000">&quot;So, in the end I managed to fix the leg up... &quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">oh, the steven from Ruby

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

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">... er, where is the healer? Her token's invisible. ^^;

VAE:<font color="#000000">bloody hell

VAE:<font color="#000000">good spot, lia

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


 * VAE added a lot of the tokens in without checking

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;Say, Firo, why don't you talk to a Gryphon in here, and, I just sit and watch?&quot;

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">This of course is one of the very, very low end pubs, with not much more than the eight tables a bar pult, and a painting of a miner's lamp above the entrance

Firo:<font color="#330033">&quot;!&quot; Firo, in typical bouncy kid-gryphon fashion, bounds over to the healer. &quot;Miss Healer! Is Quirr okay?&quot; :O

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;...Or not.&quot;

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;Chii chii chii. Kids will be kids.&quot; |3

Healer.:<font color="#000000">&quot;It was hard, but yeah, she's mostly allright. &quot;

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;He's got to talk to another one of his kind SOMETIME...&quot;

Healer.:<font color="#000000">&quot;Some of the injuries will take a week or two to get sorted out.. but she survived and that's what counts&quot;

Firo:<font color="#330033">&quot;Oh good. Chirr was really worried about her.&quot; :o

Healer.:<font color="#000000">&quot;Seriously, cases like these.. thanks Sher'ne that I got that book on internal healing magic back in Kolina last year.

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;Ok, kid, you got your answer.&quot;

Michail:<font color="#000000">Michail squeezes himself through the door.

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

TMG:<font color="#000000">For my sake.

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

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">Turns around.

TMG:<font color="#000000">What was it that Volt didn't want to tell the kid gryphon? xD

VAE:<font color="#000000">You drink sake?


 * VAE prefers ale

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;Welp, see you later, Guys.&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#330033">I'm guessing it was something along the lines of &quot;Crystal's an ass.&quot; :P Or it was a reference to his learning Chii.

TMG:<font color="#000000">Oh. :B

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

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;Where are you off to?&quot;

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;Someplace where I can continue learning to speak featherbrain, apparently...&quot;

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;Have fun. Be back by dark.&quot; |3 Crystal waves.

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">He waves back. &quot;See you later, lense face.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">As an aside, when you lot are done here, and if you have nothing to ask to the residents regarding the actual investigations in progress, you will can request timeskip :3 I don't mind shenanigans,but this is falling a bit silent which kinda suggests people have nothing to do.

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;Sometimes I worry about those kids.&quot; Sip.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">True. I can't think of anything to ask, really.

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">He walks to the library.


 * VAE might just be paranoid, but whatever.

VAE:<font color="#000000">you're a bat XD

VAE:<font color="#000000">(as in, primal form)

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">That I can't think of anything to ask is WHY I'm filming a semi-illogical nature documentary.

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">I think a certain Jakob Pettersohn might be interested in filming it.

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">Stops when he's in the right area, and looks around.

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">Oh well. You do see the public library, a rather old looking, squat building.

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;Must be it.&quot; He walks in.

Librarian:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hheello&quot; you hear in duplex

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

Techubi:<font color="#CC0000">Should I wait before having Volt reply?

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

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

Techubi:<font color="#CC0000">VAE?


 * VAE mroweth

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

Techubi:<font color="#CC0000">ME: Should I wait before aving Volt reply?

Techubi:<font color="#CC0000">VAE: ouch

Techubi:<font color="#CC0000">VAE: liadrop

VAE:<font color="#000000">T3h GM: Oh well. You do see the public library, a rather old looking, squat building. Voltarus: &quot;Must be it.&quot; He walks in. Librarian: &quot;Hheello&quot; you hear in duplex

Techubi:<font color="#CC0000">me: VAE

Techubi:<font color="#CC0000">Then, VAE Mrowed.

Liatai:<font color="#330033">Got it.

Librarian:<font color="#000000">&quot;Wwhh.. Excuse&quot; &quot;Me&quot; &quot;What do&quot; &quot;you want?&quot;

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;Hey, Misses. You-&quot;

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

Librarian:<font color="#000000">The two heads have switched to alternating speech pattern

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;Do you normally question visitors?&quot;

Librarian:<font color="#000000">&quot;We do&quot; &quot;want to know&quot; &quot;it's a boring&quot; &quot;Day, you know?&quot;

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;You got any books on Gryphon Language?&quot;

Librarian:<font color="#000000">The heads look rather cheery at the prospect of someone visiting the library

Librarian:<font color="#000000">&quot;Gryphon language&quot; &quot;let me&quot; &quot;see..&quot; &quot;I think&quot; &quot;I do too&quot; &quot;Think we have a dictionary&quot; &quot;it's a little hard though&quot; &quot;The chiis&quot; &quot;are hard to&quot; &quot;transcribe properly&quot;

Librarian:<font color="#000000">&quot;Let me&quot; &quot;And me&quot; &quot;Let us&quot; &quot;Get it&quot;

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

Librarian:<font color="#000000">*the mythos runs to the back of the library ,and brings in a book titled &quot;A guide to chii-vil conversation&quot;

Librarian:<font color="#000000">&quot;There&quot; &quot;It is&quot; &quot;Your member card&quot; &quot;please&quot;

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">It's just not Voltie's day, is it/

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


 * VAE is enjoying this far too much

VAE:<font color="#000000">anyways, where does your lot want to go next?

VAE:<font color="#000000">i can do somethign for you while Voltie is getting bogged down in the intricacies of book lending

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">(Where are Volt and Firo from again?)

VAE:<font color="#000000">because, well, don't want you dozing off

TMG:<font color="#000000">Okay&gt; Railock's server always lags me, so if things start getting weird, er....I'll try to check here and irc every now and then for notices

Crystal:<font color="#330033">Well, first off, might as well case the tavern for any new news on the mines. &#171; &#160;1d20+4 = 18 + 4 = 22&#160; <font color="#330033">&#187; Gather Information!

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

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">&gt;Journal.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">&gt;Ongoing cases.

TMG:<font color="#000000">And danman, is the party in 'downtime' at the moment?

TMG:<font color="#000000">are they just mucking about and exploring?

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">We're not in combat, if that's what you mean...

VAE:<font color="#000000">yes. Explorign town, trying to find what's going on

TMG:<font color="#000000">or are they currenlty working towards a specific goal?

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

TMG:<font color="#000000">Ah. Okay then, nevermind. :B

VAE:<font color="#000000">at least, VAE's impression of it is that.

TMG:<font color="#000000">if the party was just taking time off before the next job, I was going to wonder if Xephelon could cameo. :B

VAE:<font color="#000000">He could, actually XD

TMG:<font color="#000000">But nevermind that. back to greedverse...

Techubi whispers: What town are Volt and Firo from again?

TMG:<font color="#000000">Oh? Okay, keep talking.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">We're going that age old &quot;Canvass for rumors in a bar&quot;.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Firo.. Liatai's choice, reall

VAE:<font color="#000000">As for Volt, it's your, but I think he has some family in Port Oriss at least

Liatai:<font color="#330033">Firo is originally from the mountains, like Maiza was.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Except Voltarus, who is on an epic quest to take a book out of a public library.

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

TMG:<font color="#000000">well, Xephelon wouldn't be found in a library. :B

TMG:<font color="#000000">er

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

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;Ummmmmmmmm...I think I might have left whatever library card I had in Port Oriss.&quot;

TMG:<font color="#000000">a bar. He wouldn't be found in a bar.

TMG:<font color="#000000">But he'd be found near any magic repository, or...possibly, yes, a library.

TMG:<font color="#000000">he's a wandering &quot;magical engineer&quot; (in actual D&amp;D terms, he'd have artificer abilities)

TMG:<font color="#000000">(no actual stats, though.)

Crystal:<font color="#330033">Chat chat chat chat, canvas talk talk.

TMG:<font color="#000000">So...if you want me to drop him in somewhere, danman, let me know. :&gt;

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">Listen &#171; &#160;1d20+4 = 12 + 4 = 16&#160; <font color="#CC6600">&#187;

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Like talking, but the other way.

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">&quot;Right, as for the mines and related. Muck is being cleaned out, that you know. They are kinda looking for new employees too - seems like one being fired before the accident didn't help. Also, you heard the thing with Fedor being chewed out in three more iterations. Also after that has happened, the boss took off and went home abruptly.

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">Otherwise.. it seems that althouth there's still enough trouble, at least the crowds peeping around and causing trouble are a little less of a problem

Crystal:<font color="#330033">The boss is Josip Berezovic, right? Trying to keep names straight.

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

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;Do I have to sign for a new one?&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">Lower management, so to say. .

Librarian:<font color="#000000">&quot;We guess so&quot; &quot;here's the form&quot; &quot;it will be one silver&quot;

Crystal:<font color="#330033">Creature, or being? I know there was a demon involved with the mines, but can't recall his name.

TMG:<font color="#000000">Danman; oh, and also, Xephelon wouldn't be out in public, or at least not on the street, he'd be keeping to quieter, less dense areas. If you wanted me to cameo him. :B

VAE:<font color="#000000">hmm ,that' be a little hard

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">This IS an engineer's pub, if that helps.

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">He sighs, and hands them a gold coin. &quot;Here, keep the change.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">*nod* Engineers, miners ,everyone who digs for a living

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">Begins signing it.

TMG:<font color="#000000">Oh, huh. What map?

VAE:<font color="#000000">Flameless Torch

Librarian:<font color="#000000">&quot;Thank you&quot; &quot;Fill this in&quot;

Librarian:<font color="#000000">The mythos hands you a full page of form.

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">Begins signing it.

TMG:<font color="#000000">AH. Well, still too crowded, Xephelon would just be a backdrop, no reason for anyone to talk to him. That's okay though, nevermind. Was just an idea.

VAE:<font color="#000000">*sigh* oh well

VAE:<font color="#000000">If you have some cameo that'd work, you are free to use him

TMG:<font color="#000000">It's okay, no big deal, just a thought I had. :B

VAE:<font color="#000000">now, any more things Crystal neeeds to check?

Crystal:<font color="#330033">Is Josip a creature, or being? I know there was a demon involved with the mines, but can't recall his name.

Librarian:<font color="#000000">&quot;Thank you&quot; &quot;here's the &quot; &quot;card&quot; *casts a spell on the form that actually produces one.&quot;

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

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;Also, you got any books on Clan Taun?&quot;

Librarian:<font color="#000000">&quot;And now&quot; &quot;you wish to borrow&quot; *writes down* &quot;Return in two weeks&quot;

Librarian:<font color="#000000">&quot;Clan taun&quot; &quot;There's a few&quot;

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">You find out that this guy is either a being, or he hides it very well.

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;Which ones do you have?&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">And OOC, demon is the chairman of the factory. Another interesting person.

Liatai:<font color="#330033">Oh, right. He's the one that Firo thought was really cool. :B

Librarian:<font color="#000000">&quot;Let's see&quot; &quot;The falling&quot; &quot;Star: Life and&quot; &quot;work of Arazi&quot; &quot;Taun&quot; &quot;then Power&quot; &quot;Through Rage&quot; &quot;a booklet on the&quot; &quot;clan as a whole&quot; &quot;and lastly&quot; &quot;err...&quot; &quot;What's it doing here&quot; &quot;er.. there's a&quot; &quot;romance novel&quot; &quot;involving Taun and Owona.&quot;

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

Liatai:<font color="#330033">Nothing else pops to mind.

VAE:<font color="#000000">If not, i'll assume you lot have paid.. .and where you want to go now?

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;You have any limit to how many books I can borrow at a time?&quot;

Librarian:<font color="#000000">&quot;Well, yes&quot; &quot;it is five&quot; &quot;times the amount of&quot; &quot;heads you have&quot; *giggle*

Crystal:<font color="#330033">Back to base sounds good to me.

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

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Clan leader-ed Cubi: Jackpot.

VAE:<font color="#000000">finally the hall is free so vae can go to bathroom

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;Exactly five, huh? Well, I'll borrow all five, then.&quot;

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">well. you only know of four books ATM

VAE:<font color="#000000">anything else you want to get?

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">Anyways, back to base it is.. i guess i'll just carry the mythos over to another ma

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">The book &quot;The falling star: Life and Works of Arazi Taun&quot; is a single title, for the recors.

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

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">I think it may have appeared to have been &quot;The falling star&quot; and &quot;Life and works of Az. Taun&quot; at first glance.

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">Presumedly, the rest of the group sets off towards the church again.

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">fair mistake. It'd make more sense done in voice.. the heads alternating.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Try using &quot;The falling/star: Life and/works of/Azrai Taun&quot;

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

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

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

Librarian:<font color="#000000">The librarian hands you the books.

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;Also, what about books on famous warlocks?&quot;

Librarian:<font color="#000000">&quot;Warlocks/..let's see/there's something on/Jyraneth clan.../ what else... / Oh! Magic of the/ Imperial Court/... though that one's/ a bit general.&quot;

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;Eh, it's something.&quot;

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">So, what and where is everyone else?

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">Also map switch to the Church HQ i think I said.

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;I claim this chair in the name of the bat.&quot;

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm about ready to turn in.&quot;

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">(Assuming of course that this is where we are, but I think so - I followed the others and I think they were headed home.

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">Anyways, as you enter, you notice your boss has dozed off on the table briefly.

Librarian:<font color="#000000">&quot;Take in/which ones?&quot;

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;...&quot; &gt;:3

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&#171; &#160;1d20+4 = 8 + 4 = 12&#160; <font color="#330033">&#187; Move Silently...

Zora:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20-3 = 2 - 3 = -1&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; Listen

Crystal:<font color="#330033">Sneak sneak sneak up behind Zora...

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

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;You mind if I borrow the ones about Gryphon language, Taun, and the one about the imperial court?&quot;

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">-1 listen... doesn't that mean that she could perhaps hear a hill giant brawl next to her?

Zora:<font color="#000000">It worked. She is snoring like a chainsaw.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Ah, there we go. She could hear a battle, but not a conversation taking place next to her.

Zora:<font color="#000000">In modern times, this'd be called quertytis, for now, she just has an ink stain on her fur from the quill.


 * Crystal leans close.... &quot;Zora.&quot;

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Nope, hang on, sleeping is a -10 penalty.

Librarian:<font color="#000000">&quot;Allright.. those two...only?&quot;

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">She couldn't hear a battle.

Zora:<font color="#000000">Still asleep.

VAE:<font color="#000000">A thought aside. Can crystal imitate voices?

Crystal:<font color="#330033">... &gt;:3

Crystal:<font color="#330033">What's Zora's surname again?

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

Crystal:<font color="#330033">A little application of Ghost Sound... and...

VAE:<font color="#000000">Zora Vsevolodovna Kalugina would be full, IIRC

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;No, I mean the gryphon book, the books related to Taun, and the book about the imperial court.&quot;


 * VAE isn't sure of the patronymic, hunting in memory

Librarian:<font color="#000000">&quot;Ah/ah/here/they are&quot;

Librarian:<font color="#000000">*hands you the books in a stack*

Librarian:<font color="#000000">&quot;Have/fun.&quot; .. &quot;And visit/again.&quot;

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;ZORA KALUGINA.&quot; Cripes! It's the boss' voice, the one who informed her that Crystal was being assigned to the group!

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;Kay. Maybe I'll come here tomorrow to just focus on reading and learning, if I have the time...&quot;

Zora:<font color="#000000">*hiss* &quot;Urg.. whawg 'oing on?!!&quot;&quot; The cat practically leaps up from the chair, knocking over an empty tea mug, stumbles on the chair, and falls into it/

Crystal:<font color="#330033">Cue cat cackling.

Zora:<font color="#000000">&quot;Another.. *owch* report .. where... why isn't he saying anything..&quot;

Zora:<font color="#000000">*confused look. Utterly confused*

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

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;You're going to get a horrible crick in your back if you sleep all night in the chair.&quot; |3

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">He leaves and heads back to the church.

Librarian:<font color="#000000">&quot;See/See ya&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">Also ,for that matter - for the boss, thoguh he doesn't appear in person, imagine someone like Schaefer

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

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Well, that was impressive. I didn't know you could fall like that.&quot;

Zora:<font color="#000000">&quot;Sleep in chair? I was .. working.. and .. then there was some inquisitor.. and dragons.. and faeries..and one run into.. ouch that was the quill.. and what's going on?&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">(lia will know what this is. There was a filler park session that I dropped from in half. Here we see the reason why it happened.)

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;That sounds to me like the opposite of a lucid dream.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">(VAE 's story for filler park - they are shared dreams of overworked characters. And Miron with Zora make a really neat duo that can talk to each other in times i have none external to RP with, kinda like Crystal and Farin)

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;It's late and time for agents to get some proper rest. Found anything?&quot;

Zora:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh.. you, this.. I.. er.. i did look at .. yeah..&quot;

Zora:<font color="#000000">&quot;Right&quot; Zora straightens her coat and runs a paw through her hair &quot; I checked the folks.. asked at the militia, too&quot;

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">Walks into the Church HQ with his books.

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

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;How'd it go? Found any good fiction books? I do like Clan Lord of the Rings, though of course the poor author got assassinated by Cubi before he finished it. Something about the Dark Lord Sorehead makes people think he had a feud with some clan or other...&quot;

Zora:<font color="#000000">&quot;Now, let's go in order. Ostap Kaganovic Perov.. he isn't a terribly interesting person or was, rather.. Miner, union member, not known to be in any.. er.. organisations or such, you know. Though, he drank like a rainbow.. ther e are a few fights in here... disrupting public order.. oh, and beat up a debt collector once.&quot;

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Oh, that's a lovely idiom. &quot;Drank like a rainbow&quot;.

Zora:<font color="#000000">&quot;His wife.. hm..she works as a tailor from home, you have met her and seen how annoying she gets when somethign happens.. had issues with the neigbours now and then, but just petty stuff.&quot;

Zora:<font color="#000000">&quot;Decent citizens, really.&quot;

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">Walks into the room.


 * Crystal nods, expression stoic.

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;What'd I miss?&quot;

Zora:<font color="#000000">&quot;The other two... Hmm, you are sure you said &quot;Berezovic&quot; ?&quot; *scratches her chin* &quot;We.. kinda know nothing .. no contacts that i'd know of or anything, yet what you say seems suspicious as hell. Well.. either he's a one-time recruit for something, or something's very wrong with our recon.&quot;

Firo:<font color="#330033">&quot;Crystal waking Zora up.&quot;

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Am I still connected - ah. Good, it didn't disconnect, but I think that was a close one.

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

Zora:<font color="#000000">&quot;Now, the last guy.. Kazimir Novakov, right?&quot;

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;That was his name, yes.&quot;

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

Zora:<font color="#000000">&quot;That's an interesting figure. He worked as a mining engineer, but isn't originally trained as such.&quot;

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;Anyone wanna read this romance novel on my clan founder and Owona before I do?&quot;

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Wonder where he got his retraining? And no thanks.&quot;

Zora:<font color="#000000">&quot;About four years ago, he came here from Zalmar.. he has a certificate of training as an expert on arboreal magic... he was admitted basically as on-job training since he could handle the required spells better than any engineer here.&quot;

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;What about you, Crys?&quot;

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Arboreal magic... druidic stuff? Interesting.&quot;

Zora:<font color="#000000">&quot;Now, i don't have records of *their* militia with me, but during his stay here ,he appears to have been pretty orderly... &quot;

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;Go ahead.&quot;

Zora:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yeah, industrial messing with trees and stuff.&quot;

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;I meant, did you want to read this before I do?&quot;

Zora:<font color="#000000">&quot;Do you know anything else about those two?&quot;

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">(someone seems typing, butsuch way it just blinks)

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;I said go ahead, I don't want to.&quot; Crystal looks to Zora. &quot;Well, let's see. Starting with Josip, he seems to be one of the mine bosses. Being, or he hides himself very well. Kazimir, on the other hand, seems to have up and vanished after an incident involving his discovery of some missing gunpowder. He was fired after being read the riot act by Josip, who claimed that there was none missing. Rather suspicious.&quot;

Zora:<font color="#000000">&quot;Indeed. I suggest that tomorrow morning, you lot show up at Josip's house, and bring him in for a talk. If he's a being it shouldn't be a problem.&quot;

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

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

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;I think we can persuade him. Though we may have to be... eloquent... if he has bodyguards.&quot;

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Elegant, abrupt, and most likely final.&quot;

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;You can read, right?&quot;

Firo:<font color="#330033">&quot;I've never read any of those books. Is it good?&quot; :.

Zora:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hee.. That's the spirit, though if he has bodyguards ,it means i'm pretty much screwed.&quot;

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

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;Who knows, you want to find out for yourself?&quot;

Zora:<font color="#000000">&quot;Anyways... if that's all of the story, I guess it's a good time to nod off. Bloody paperwork, pretty much all I get to do these days.&quot;

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">...what amounts to clan leader shipping fanfiction between succubi? Good lord, talk about age inappropriate...

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">I somehow suspect this was written by someone fro Nact'larn clan

Firo:<font color="#330033">&quot;Why not? Sure.&quot; Poor kid.

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">He hands him the book.

VAE:<font color="#000000">heh. This joke is going interesting directions.

TMG:<font color="#000000">oh gawd. The kid gryphon is going to read erotica? o.O

VAE:<font color="#000000">unless someone slaps the cubi, yes

TMG:<font color="#000000">ooooh man. xD

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;I think i've heard of that book. Is it the one with the back cover reading 'if you have been affected by any of the issues raised in this book, then either you're a cubi or you're just kind of kinky'?&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">Also.. gryphons are slightly different anatomically (I assume avian) so this'll be odd

TMG:<font color="#000000">Yup. :B


 * TMG tabs out

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;Rest well.&quot; And...


 * VAE scared tech off


 * Crystal whaps Voltarus on the back of the head again.

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

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;What the hell, Woman?&quot;

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">Anyways, book title is &quot;Passion in Plate Mail' written by Alyssa Nact'larn&quot;

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">You can imagine the rest

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

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;Just.... no.&quot;

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;Then YOU read it.&quot;

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Rub his nose in it? Wait, hang on, it's a book.&quot;

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;What, afraid it's age-inappropriate for you, too?&quot;


 * VAE is playing the Secret Police vocaloid, though Yakkety Sax might be more appropriaye

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;Haha, you're sooooooo fuuuuuunnnyyyy...Just break in the damn book while I'm reading the others, alright?&quot;

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;It looks like it's already been thoroughly broken in...&quot;

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;Mm. I was about to say that. Repeatedly.&quot;

Firo:<font color="#330033">&quot;I'm so confused.&quot;

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;Cherish that.&quot; Le book confiscate!

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;That's good. If you understood, you'd be traumatized.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">I think Inspector Clouseau is the theme character for this group


 * Crystal thwaps Voltarus with the book.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Either him, or the Casino Royale James Bond parody.

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

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

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;Was that REALLY necessary?&quot;

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;If you're going to be giving children these books, you're not of the right mental age for them, either.&quot;

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;If you need to ask, the answer is yes.&quot; |3

Zora:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hey, what's going on there?&quot;

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;Haha...Well, I'm going to get to deciphering featherbrain. If you need me, I'll be reading in the pews.&quot;

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Oh, the harm that could be solved if there was a simple and safe mental age check.&quot;

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;Firo, why don't you go with him and help with pronunciation?&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">This is now your theme XD http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EOGcWy6Eu4c

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;I DON'T need his help...&quot;

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;Fair enough.&quot;


 * Crystal just shows the cover to Zora.

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

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Can you learn pronunciation from a book?&quot;

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">He makes a break for it.

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

Zora:<font color="#000000">''I'm surprised they are still alive. Dad would laugh his ass off seeing who do I have to order around. ''

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">Anyways, shall I cut to next day?

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;Kids these days.&quot; =w=

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">Why not?

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

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;Do you want it? I'm not into tri-wing.&quot; Trollcat is feeling trollish.

VAE:<font color="#000000">(who is she asking?)

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

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

Zora:<font color="#000000">&quot;Lemme see... Now, why ain't I surprised that cubi got his paws on it...&quot;

Zora:<font color="#000000">&quot;&gt;:3 Got an idea with it.&quot;

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;Ignatius?&quot; &gt;:3

Zora:<font color="#000000">&quot;It's .. juust about the right size.&quot;

Zora:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yep. Swap it for his missal.&quot;

TMG:<font color="#000000">...isn't he right there in the room with everyone? :B

TMG:<font color="#000000">or is he unconcious? :B

VAE:<font color="#000000">Not really.

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;I leave it in your capable hands, ma'am.&quot; |3

VAE:<font color="#000000">It's...more a holding place for tokens

VAE:<font color="#000000">the buildning has two floors

VAE:<font color="#000000">It's .. last week he was.

VAE:<font color="#000000">ANd since just about everything is narrated.

VAE:<font color="#000000">(last month, not week)

VAE:<font color="#000000">I didn't bother moving the tokens much

TMG:<font color="#000000">Ah. was wondering why everything was in one place.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Also, Saph seems to be not quite about...

Zora:<font color="#000000">Anyways, Zora sneaks out into the main body of the church, and does the swap, using Prestidigitation. &#171; &#160;1d20+3 = 9 + 3 = 12&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Ah, prank wars. The equivalent of army drill for the underworld.&quot;

Zora:<font color="#000000">Looks convincing enough 

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

Zora:<font color="#000000">*in a conspiratorial voice* &quot;Done&quot;

Techubi:<font color="#CC0000">So, time skip?

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">Yep

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">I assume everyone retreated to bed, roof support, or other sleeping place of choice

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">Bats never get bored of the &quot;Hanging out&quot; pun. At least when they make it.

Techubi:<font color="#CC0000">Should Volt have stayed up on all night reading Chii-Vii Dictionary?

Techubi:<font color="#CC0000">*Up all night

VAE:<font color="#000000">If you wish :3

VAE:<font color="#000000">Though, makes recovering spells hard.

VAE:<font color="#000000">warlocks have at-will tthough, right?

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

Techubi:<font color="#CC0000">Spell-like abilities and invocations.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">I imagine Warlocks run on caffiene.

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">Anyways. Next morning, quite early, you lot roll a Listen check.

Zora:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20-1 = 20 - 1 = 19&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Zora:<font color="#000000">What.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Are we asleep at this point, or..?

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

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

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

 * VAE doesnt mind too much

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Because sleep is a -10 penalty...

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">so that goes to 9, then

VAE:<font color="#000000">The *what* was thought

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Yeah, lack of quotes.

Zora:<font color="#000000">Zora gets up, curses and goes to open the door... in her dream.

Zora:<font color="#000000">In fact, she's still sound asleep.

Zora:<font color="#000000">Happened to your GM, actually.

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

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">Anyways, those of you above, say 10, listen scratching and beating at the door.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">I think we need to check the big guy's check...

Liatai:<font color="#330033">Sorry, sacred canine duty, BRB

VAE:<font color="#000000">or Crystal's

Michail:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+1-10 = 7 + 1 - 10 = -2&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; Listen

Michail:<font color="#000000">That's called a hard sleeper.

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&#171; &#160;1d20+3 = 17 + 3 = 20&#160; <font color="#330033">&#187;

Firo:<font color="#330033">&#171; &#160;1d20+3-10 = 11 + 3 - 10 = 4&#160; <font color="#330033">&#187; Zzz...

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;CHIII CHII CHIII!&quot;

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">Now, if not for crystal, we'd think cats have shitty hearing

Liatai:<font color="#330033">And now to take care of the critters. BRB.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Even with the sleep penalty, Crystal has heard! yay

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;ARGH! DAMNIT, THAT'S 'NOT' SUPPOSED TO SOUND LIKE 'MY BUBBLEGUM IS WATERPROOF!'&quot;

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">*NOT

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;Alright, let me try this one...&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">My 'overcraft is full of eels

VAE:<font color="#000000">If I say you have a beautiful body, will you press it against me?

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;Or, maybe...CHIR CHI chir chirp?&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IN9mP2_1A-c

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;NO, NO! Damnit...CHI CHIR CHIR SQUAWK CHIRP!&quot;

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;The Vodka is good, but the meat is inverse.&quot;


 * VAE LOL

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;CHIRPITY-CHIR CHIIII!&quot;

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;We hold these truths to be self evident: PIE&quot;

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;WRYYYYYYYYYYYY&quot;

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;Oh, hey, I finally got another one right.&quot;

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">He clears his throat. &quot;Chi chirp-chiii chiiiii.&quot;

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;My goodness, this is annoying. I suppose that's always the way when learning a new language.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hello and many housefires&quot;


 * Crystal wakes up, hearing the noise at the door.

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;...&quot; Curious cat investigates.

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;Chirp chirp squawk chii chiiiiiiiii.&quot;

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;The horse is infected, we must sterilize it with ice and air.&quot;

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">Anyways, if you open the door, you notice one of the gryphons from the mail branch.

Kwik:<font color="#000000">&quot;Chirpchirpchiii&quot;

Crystal:<font color="#330033">The door is opened. &quot;Welcome to the Church of St. Ilja -- oh, hello there!&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">ahahhaha, the actual sketch

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;HEY, MY MOTHER IS NOT-!&quot;

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">&quot;Drop your panties sir WIlliam I cannot wait for lunchtime&quot;

Kwik:<font color="#000000">&quot;Er.. Hello.. I have a chirpchi..I mean, a letter. For someone named Crystal.&quot;

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;That would be me.&quot;

Kwik:<font color="#000000">*Hands over*

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;Crys, who's this? And, what did he say about my mother?&quot;

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">The letter seems to be rather dirty and ink stains poke even through the envelope.

Crystal:<font color="#330033">Let it never be said that this cat is not cautious. Detect Magic on the letter... &quot;This is a messenger. I think we met him yesterday. I'm sorry, your name's slipped my mind, Mr....?&quot;

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

Kwik:<font color="#000000">&quot;Kwik is my name!&quot;

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">And nope, no magic there.

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

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;A very apt name for a messenger.&quot; ^^ &quot;Any charge?&quot;

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;I DREAD having to have an actual gryphon help me right now, but...&quot;

Kwik:<font color="#000000">&quot;Local delivery, that'd be two coppers.&quot;

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;Could you perchance stay and help me with my 'Chii?'&quot;

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

Kwik:<font color="#000000">&quot;Help you with.. sorry.. i think you need to go to a doctor for that.&quot;


 * Crystal chuckles.

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;NO.&quot;

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

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;He's been trying to learn the language and driving everyone up the wall.&quot;

Kwik:<font color="#000000">&quot;Ah.&quot;

Kwik:<font color="#000000">&quot;Well.. i could perhaps.. &quot;

Kwik:<font color="#000000">&quot;Let me see... what do you need to look at?&quot;


 * Crystal slides the letter open and begins to read.

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;Well, I'm having trouble with some words, and maybe some pronounciation.&quot;

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">Now, the letter is written in laborious script, rather stained, and with plenty of grammar fail. Someone clearly isn't very used to writing.

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

Crystal:<font color="#330033">Don't worry.

Crystal:<font color="#330033">I have ranks in Decipher Script. *brick'd*

TMG:<font color="#000000">oh crap, uh..

TMG:<font color="#000000">is this still stable?

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

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

TMG:<font color="#000000">oh. Just rail's server, then.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Hmm. To understand anything Voltarus commits to paper, you need to read it in D&amp;D 3.0. Back when Innuendo was still a skill.

Wall Of Text:<font color="#000000">To Paws of Crystal. My sisters husband, Ostap was not one I met much since he worked in different shaft - most I seen him in pub, or from visits to my sister. Also I drink like any other man but for my own, not like he did, which is what I want to say. I remember two three days before he disapiered, I remember seeing him in the pub and barkeeper laughing - &quot;Listen Ostap, did you win at cards? I know salary is next week!&quot; - he paid off his axe, and drank for ready money that night. I asked sister about it and she remembered him even bringing some money home telling he won bet. I don't know who he bet with, but that day I seen him there with scarfed cat, and few days later Ostap had the scarf himself, the last time I seen him at all, was near the Rusty Claw, but I don't go there.Maybe is something helpful to find who did it to him, and bring them to justice. Oleg

TMG:<font color="#000000">Ahahahaha. XD

TMG:<font color="#000000">*to Saph


 * VAE realizes


 * VAE commends Saph for getting Tech to laugh at something

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

TMG:<font color="#000000">Hey, I laugh at things. &gt;:/

VAE:<font color="#000000">Since Tech has -5 modifier on Sense(humour(

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

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;... hmm.&quot; Crystal folds up the letter and adds it to the evidence catalog -- er, her pack.

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

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;Soooooo, how does this sound? Chir chir chiii chiii chirp?&quot;

Kwik:<font color="#000000">&quot;They can take our lives but they can never take our cheese strings! Backwards, and may the worst man fall off the cliff last!&quot;

Kwik:<font color="#000000">&quot;Um.. the accent is a problem&quot;

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

Kwik:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yes.&quot;

Kwik:<font color="#000000">&quot;Chii-nese is a bit tough on that.&quot;

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;You don't actually have to be a gryphon to pronounce it right, do you?&quot;

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;Excuse me, just a moment.&quot; Crystal approaches the language learners, holding out a gold piece to Kwik with a smile. &quot;Here, this is for your time, and for the safe delivery.&quot;

Kwik:<font color="#000000">&quot;For example.. say... &quot;chi-a&quot; can mean 'friendly', 'flying', or 'turpentine' depending on how you pronounce just the 'a'&quot;

Kwik:<font color="#000000">&quot;Thanks, miss!&quot;

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;Chi-a?&quot;

Kwik:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yep.. now, this one would just about pass for the second meaning.&quot;

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

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">That's HM02.

TMG:<font color="#000000">*snrk*

Kwik:<font color="#000000">&quot;fly? That'd be either chi-u or chi, depending whether it's the action, or the insect.&quot;

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;Chi-u?&quot;

Crystal:<font color="#330033">Crystal steals down toward the basement of the facility.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">And Ch-lucky bastard if it's Flygon, they're Dragon type with great stats.

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

Crystal:<font color="#330033">She pauses halfway to the cells.... then turns around and heads back, toward the kitchen.

Crystal:<font color="#330033">Let's see, let's see, what's in the fridge...

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">Don't take the lid off the jar to see what's inside. There's a week's worth of moths in there.

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&#171; &#160;1d20+1 = 15 + 1 = 16&#160; <font color="#330033">&#187; Let's see about rustling up some breakfast. No good to interrogate on an empty stomach.

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;What about Chi-ee?&quot;

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">&quot;The fridge contains half of an onion, some sausages of unknown origin, something that tries to pass for butter, a box of eggs, a few jars that don't tell you much by their appearance, a jar of milled coffee, and a case of beer.&quot;

Crystal:<font color="#330033">That's enough for scrambled eggs. Note to self... get at least some bread or something to supplement this while living here. =w=

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">And some milk in a carton. No, hang on, cheese.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Good thing it's a cuboidal carton.


 * Crystal checks her pack.

Crystal:<font color="#330033">... oh wait.

Crystal:<font color="#330033">I have bread.

T3h GM:<font color="#000000">There is a chunk of bread, it just isn't in the fridge.

Crystal:<font color="#330033">Oh well, let's save that for emergencies. =w= Cook, cook, cook...

Crystal:<font color="#330033">A meal later, Crystal heads back toward the basement, carrying a second plate of eggs.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Most impressive piece of cooking in fiction (played for laughs) I saw was someone who managed to make rice out of a cupboard with no rice in. &quot;I reconstituted the rice krispies.&quot;

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

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

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;Nikola Subin?&quot;

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;Or, Chi-o?&quot;

Nikola Subin:<font color="#000000">You do hear a grunt from the inside.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Chi-o is the odour of fish when it has just begun to generate life independent of the most recent common ancestor of all biological life.

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;Thought you might appreciate something a little more nourishing than bread and water.&quot; The plate of eggs is offered with a smile.

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

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">It also happens to mean &quot;My nose has imploded.&quot;

Nikola Subin:<font color="#000000">&quot;The demon looks rather worn down.. it seems like during the few days he's in, noone bothered much even with the bread.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">and stupid quotess

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

Nikola Subin:<font color="#000000">&quot;.. who .. is it?&quot;

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;... they have been feeding you, haven't they?&quot;

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">http://leftoversoup.com/archive.php?num=10 Found it.

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;How about Chir-o chiiiiii-e chirp?&quot;

Nikola Subin:<font color="#000000">You hear a weak laugh. &quot;Feeding? Really, now&quot;

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">A dissertation on the nature of Sorin Otomo's religious policy.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Kind of a short one, though.

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

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Sorin Otomo was Christian and nuts.&quot;


 * VAE rofls

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;It's the one who doesn't want to bash your head in. Now here, eat. I'll be back shortly.&quot;

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;Chir chiiii chiiiiii-ooo?&quot;

Nikola Subin:<font color="#000000">The demon waits until you retreat, then, soon enough, you do hear feeding noises.

Crystal:<font color="#330033">Scrounge, scrounge... hmm. No water.

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;Chiiiiiirrrrrppppp Squawk-eee?&quot;

Crystal:<font color="#330033">Do I risk my superiors' wrath by raiding the booze, or do I risk not building rapport with a cooperative, to a degree, prisoner... =w=

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;The complete plot of the Twilight series. Again, quite short.&quot;

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Sorry, shouldn't have had quotes there.

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

Crystal:<font color="#330033">Meh. Water will be more important in the long run. Save the booze so you have something to ante up to.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Vampyres r hot&quot; is the essential gist.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Thinking of that, the fic that Voltie brought in is quality literature compared to twilight

Crystal:<font color="#330033">Sink, sink, sink... borrowing a mug and pitcher...

VAE:<font color="#000000">At least, by virtue of their clan affinities, there was conflict

Crystal:<font color="#330033">A mug of water is offered.

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;Squawk-o squawk-e squuuaaawww?&quot;

Nikola Subin:<font color="#000000">*looks at Crystal suspiciously*

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;It's not poisoned.&quot;

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;I am a fish, I am a fish, I am a fish, hail to the chief, baby, then a thump.&quot; I don't know how the thump came across.

Nikola Subin:<font color="#000000">*cough* &quot;Thanks, I guess...&quot; Once again, he stands up, this time in plain view of Crystal..The demon seems rather ... damaged, at least one of his wings is broken , and has a blue eye too. It seems someone was trying to extract more information, and that someone didn't succeed.

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;Well, unless something died in the pipe to the bathroom faucet. But nothing seemed off to me.&quot; ^^

Nikola Subin:<font color="#000000">*drinks the water* *cough* &quot;Had worse.&quot;

Nikola Subin:<font color="#000000">&quot;at least I got the bucket there... she said.. it makes cells easier .. *cough* easier to clean&quot;

Nikola Subin:<font color="#000000">The demon stares behind for a moment, then lies back down on the mat.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Well, he is improving. They're getting more grammatically correct, and almost prophetic even if he's still channel surfing universe wise.

VAE:<font color="#000000">The comic is great. &quot;I once fed a culinary critic a refried pork chop and convinced him it was veal&quot;

 * Crystal heads for the study and waits for everyone else to wake up.

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">*is awake* *listening to Voltarus is both alarm clock and radio comedy*

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;Chi chir chi chiiirrrrrpppppp.&quot;

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Silence will fall when the Question is asked.&quot;

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;Good morning.&quot;

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;Got a lead.&quot;

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

Zora:<font color="#000000">&quot;Lead? As in cosh, or as in actual lead?&quot;

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;As in... can you explain what cosh is first? Ears are a little sleep-wonky.&quot;

Voltarus:<font color="#CC0000">&quot;Guess I'll have to practice more.&quot;

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;A cosh is a type of club that hits things. And I believe she means an actual piece of information to make with the solvey.&quot;

Zora:<font color="#000000">&quot;You know.. thingy.. cloth or something filled with metal powder.. you bap people with it

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Oh, and the last chii-speech Voltarus got off was &quot;Bad Wolf.&quot;

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;Yes, an actual piece of information to make with the solvey.&quot;


 * Crystal waves the letter.

Zora:<font color="#000000">&quot;Was just a joke.. it's just.. I can't figure where or how.. Ah.&quot;

Zora:<font color="#000000">&quot;So that was the bloody gryphon noise?&quot;

Zora:<font color="#000000">*reads through...* &quot;You know.. this reminds me of something... '

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;A spoonful of sugar goes a long way sometimes.&quot; Smile, smile. &quot;The widow Perova's brother Oleg did us a favor.&quot; She reads the letter aloud.

Zora:<font color="#000000">&quot;Someone mentioned scarves around here.&quot;

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;It reminded me, too, and I confirmed it with our guest.&quot;

Zora:<font color="#000000">&quot;Good to know. Was he awake?&quot;

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;The TTC representative he had been dealing with is an incubus, or succubus, always seen in a scarf.&quot;

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

Zora:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yep. and that makes the whole affair seem.. interesting.&quot;

Zora:<font color="#000000">&quot;In the sense of 'may you live in interesting times' of course.&quot;

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;Of course.&quot;

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;The game's a foot. Though not literally... a golem made in the shape of a shoe would be an interesting enemy, though...

Zora:<font color="#000000">&quot;Well, now. It'd likely help if we had means to bloody find that bugger.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">Kari is tempting me.

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

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

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;It seems as though the Rusty Claw would be the best place to find out.&quot;

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;Do you know the place?&quot;

Zora:<font color="#000000">&quot;Perhaps so. Borrowing Mr. Berezovic would be nice too.&quot;

Zora:<font color="#000000">&quot;Rusty claw..hmm.. lemme think&quot;

Zora:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+11 = 13 + 11 = 24&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; Knowledge (local)

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;At the end, the four knocks are from Martha's grandad.&quot;

Zora:<font color="#000000">&quot;Er... yes. It's a pub. Some miners, some steelworkers, some assorted scum, and pretty much all of them grounders.&quot;

Firo:<font color="#330033">&quot;CHA-CHIIIIIIIII~A~&quot;

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;Grounders? The anti-wings?&quot;

Zora:<font color="#000000">&quot;It's the sort of people that gets kicked from Flameless Torch on a regular basis.&quot;

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

Zora:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yep. And before you ask, I don't get this mess either.&quot;

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;So in terms of scraping the bottom of he barrel, well into the floor.&quot;

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Vote Saxon.&quot;

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;Hm. Wonderful. So either Voltarus would get us kicked out or fit right in. The former, most likely, given how proud he is of his heritage.&quot;

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;... come to think of it, am I the only non-wing here?&quot; &gt;.&gt;

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

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;I have a wing but not a prayer.&quot;

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;Aside from Zora and the Father, of course.&quot;

Zora:<font color="#000000">&quot;I think michail is pretty wingless.&quot;

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;Right, Michail. Sorry, friend.&quot;

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;These aren't additional limbs, see...&quot;

Zora:<font color="#000000">&quot;Seriously, Imagine him trying to fly.&quot;

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

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Beware the Dark Lord of Derkholm.&quot;

Michail:<font color="#000000">&quot;'Ey, what is funny about that?&quot;

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

Michail:<font color="#000000">&quot;Earthquake?&quot;

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Yes. They're funny because your voice goes strange.&quot;

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;So it looks as though if any clandestine recon's to be done, it's me and Michail to do it, perhaps with Karis as aerial backup.&quot;

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Aye-aye, captain? Well, bat-bat, but same general principle.&quot;

Michail:<font color="#000000">&quot;Sounds right, miss. How clandestine?&quot;

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

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;On a cold winter morning, in the time before the light,&quot;

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;Go in, case the joint, have an ale or two, maybe, and get a feel for who the regulars are. Keeping an eye out for our scarfed friend, of course.&quot;

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;Maybe we'll find out what Ostap was betting on so lucratively.&quot;

Zora:<font color="#000000">&quot;Sounds about right.And the rest of you can pay a visit to Mr. Berezovic..&quot;

Zora:<font color="#000000">&quot;I don't think wings are a problem in an arrest :3&quot;

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

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;Hm. Perhaps Karis had better accompany Firo and Voltarus, then. He may not come quietly.&quot;

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;The flames of Volt's eternal rage will ride towards the fight&quot;

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;And if it's just those two, it definitely won't be a quiet arrest.&quot; =w=

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;If you think it would be better.&quot;

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

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

Zora:<font color="#000000">&quot;So, break a neck, I guess. And I hope not your own.&quot;

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;Speaking of breaking. Was the wing your work?&quot;

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

Zora:<font color="#000000">*looks at Crystal for a moment*

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

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">&quot; On the blackest plains in hell's domain we watch them as they go In fire and pain now once again we know &quot;

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

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">To both of them.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">They seem to have become Gryphonforce.

Zora:<font color="#000000">&quot;Can't a girl have a bit of fun at work? But seriously, that bugger is tougher than I expected. I tried to question him on the.. new info you brought.&quot;

Zora:<font color="#000000">&quot;Took a well applied electrical spell, and the thing kinda broke itself from the muscles spasm.&quot;

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;I can see that. Given the strength of demon bone and hide, it's impressive. But, it won't set properly like that. You may want Ignatius to see to it if you want it to repair itself properly to break again if necessary.&quot;

Karis:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Wings are often a bit fragile, comes of the lightening and fragile bones. Though I suppose if they're not flight wings then they could be a lot tougher.&quot;

Zora:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hee.. Perhaps... Ignatius.. heh..&quot;

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;Has he found it yet?&quot;

Zora:<font color="#000000">&quot;Well, the mass is in the evening on weekdays&quot;

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;You may want to refresh the spell on it before then. From what I've heard, those sorts of changes rarely last longer than an hour if you're not concentrating on it.&quot; |3

Zora:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hmm, you're right.. And then i'll dispel it at the right moment...&quot;

Crystal:<font color="#330033">&quot;That's the spirit.&quot; |3

TMG:<font color="#000000">Would have been better if you could cast a charm on the book itself. he picks it up, it -looks- like his sermon book, but then he automatically opens it to...certain passages, and reads aloud, and can't stop reading. :.

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">Lesser Geas

VAE:<font color="#000000">wait, it's level 4 spell

VAE:<font color="#000000">not enough, I think *sigh*

Liatai:<font color="#330033">This kind of seems like a good spot to pick it up next session, with a little action to kick things off.

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

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Okay, we'll go with that.

Liatai:<font color="#330033">x3

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Someone going to let Volt and Firo know? We WILL have to end their jam session...

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

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">They're basically writing Through The Fire And Flames. A jam session is when musicians work with one another to write something &quot;on the fly&quot; and then refine it later.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Saph - this comes from a joke that the Senior Analyst in perhaps the stuffiest Leaden Mace branch in Akellon has a token with deep cleavage and bare midriff

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Kind of a pity all that Chii was me not Karis... ah well.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Leaden Mace - the local witchhunters and inquisition

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">I also thought that Zora literally being so asleep she wouldn't have heard an actual battle was quite funny.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Oh, there's an actual foot robot in Narbonic. It is called Foot and is sentient, if a bit dim.

Liatai:<font color="#330033">For actually being realistic in what the likely reaction of Subin's stomach would be in regards to dense food after being nigh-starved.

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

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

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Yeah, that's often a cause of death among rescuees.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Lia, that's to be expected. Let's face it, we're all nerds.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Also, lynx doesn't have where to add XP to himself
