Session 10

RAM has connected.

 Liatai:... hmm. No map, here. ^^;

RAM:That's because I forgot to load the campaign file. x3

Liatai:Ah. :B

RAM:Can you see the map now? :B

Liatai:Yep.

RAM:Good. :3

RAM:So...

RAM:Question.

RAM:Sera's reaction to Espada being a Demi-Goddess? :B

Liatai:Why are you trying to get IC info about a reaction before it happens? :P

RAM:Because it's still, like, 30 minutes before game time and I wanna knooooooow!

Liatai:Well, don't put too much weight on Sera. I'm still not sure if I'm sticking around Skylands.

RAM:Aww. &gt;: * RAM hopes you stay.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">I know. But I need my Friadys.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">*Fridays

Arcalane:<font color="#003399">so we have our top deck, huh

Arcalane:<font color="#003399">with what I assume to be a pair of dirigible catboats. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catboat

Arcalane:<font color="#003399">I find it funny Cthulhu is still there

RAM:<font color="#990000">Praise the dark Cthulhu, long may he reign.

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

* Liatai pictured a boat version of the catbus when first reading &quot;catboat.&quot; http://www.absoluteanime.com/my_neighbor_totoro/catbus.jpg

* RAM would ride the Catbus. :B

Sulucamas:<font color="#66FF33">What is it Meany?? :u

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

Arcalane:<font color="#003399">...that is terrible

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

Arcalane:<font color="#003399">change that colour D: Arcalane:<font color="#003399">we had this discussion LAST TIME &gt;:|

Ganti:<font color="#003200">Sul, that color's just WRONG.

Ganti:<font color="#003200">And we did indeed have this chat last time.

Arcalane:<font color="#003399">go back to that dark teal you had last time

Sulucamas:<font color="#006666">I'm glad y'all noticed. I turned it up just for y'all.

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

Arcalane:<font color="#003399">I may not be captain yet but I doubt anyone would complain if you were thrown overboard. &gt;:o

</i> Meany:<font color="#660033">Yoyoyo.

Sulucamas:<font color="#006666">My natural defence mechanism is turning my text hot pink. :B

Sulucamas:<font color="#006666">hopefully it burns too much for retribution

Ganti:<font color="#003200">Wheeps. They're blind, and as such do not CARE about how much it burns peoples eyes.

Arcalane:<font color="#003399">I'm sure Blair has some welding-goggles we can borrow

Arcalane:<font color="#003399">should do the trick

Sulucamas:<font color="#006666">ruh-roh.... what's hotter than hot pink? :(

Sulucamas:<font color="#006666">some sort of.. hot-pink rainbow?

Arcalane:<font color="#003399">colours don't work that way

Sulucamas:<font color="#006666">;)

Glitch:<font color="#000000">.....wat.

Sulucamas:<font color="#006666">Hey, for my sake, are these five stories of the same airship?

Sulucamas:<font color="#006666">bottom to top?

Sulucamas:<font color="#006666">or just a ship-ass ship?

Arcalane:<font color="#003399">bottom is on the left, top is on the right

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

Ganti:<font color="#003200">Ayup. Same airship. Bottom to top. Or top to bottom, depending on which way you go.

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

RAM:<font color="#990000">So, who are we missing? :.

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

Arcalane:<font color="#003399">Ghost can't make it, dunno where Rail is

RAM:<font color="#990000">Rail is bowing out as well.

Ganti:<font color="#003200">Yeah, Rail and Ghost have said that the current time just doesn't work for them.

RAM:<font color="#990000">Ghost may be able to come back later, though. Depending.

Arcalane:<font color="#003399">huh, officially out? mk

Ganti:<font color="#003200">... Eh. Lets give Sharp another five miniutes, then I'll kick this thing off.

Arcalane:<font color="#003399">well he's not expecting us to start early, is he? :x

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

Meany:<font color="#660033">He's fighting ninjas.

* Ganti needs to remember to talk to him on monday, as he missed last week.

Meany:<font color="#660033">And is out of fire to keep them from catching him.

Meany:<font color="#660033">So he has to run -really- fast.

* RAM uses Knife Eye Attack!

Arcalane:<font color="#003399">critical hit to the activity levels, it seems : Arcalane:<font color="#003399">:v

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

</i> Sulucamas:<font color="#006666">oh dear :/

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

Sulucamas:<font color="#006666">8x

Sulucamas:<font color="#006666">Our fearless leader...!

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

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

Ganti:<font color="#003200">That does explain why I wasn't getting many responces.

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

Ganti:<font color="#003200">... You know what? I've got two shops populated, one mostly populated, and one started. I'll call that good enough for now. Roll call!

Kiera:<font color="#003399">d20!

Kiera:<font color="#003399">...well, you asked us to call rolls.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+2 = 19 + 2 = 21&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Espada:<font color="#990000">The Foxeh Ladeh is here!

Sulucamas:<font color="#006666">Present?

Meany:<font color="#660033">Yo.

Ganti:<font color="#003200">Okay, we'e only... There he is!

Kiera:<font color="#003399">I've just realized. With Rail (and thus Kaz) gone, our primary melee fighters are all women. Protecting squishy wizard-men. This is like, inverse RPG party gender rules.

Ganti:<font color="#003200">Feels kind Dorf Fortressy.

Kiera:<font color="#003399">Normally the guys have the big swords, and protect the spellcastin' ladies who have magic staves and whatnot.

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">Pffft. Staves. What you need is a good gun. =3=

Espada:<font color="#990000">Who has the big sword now?! &gt;:D

Kiera: <font color="#3399">(( &quot;Don't the gods have some pretty specific things to say about killin'?&quot; &quot;Quite specific. It is, however, somewhat fuzzier on the subject of kneecaps.&quot; ))

Ganti:<font color="#003200">Anyway, last time, on Skylands: ...I don't know as much as I should because the person I asked for a log never got it to me. Should have kept after them. Ah well. Anyway, you lot had gotten into a fight with something called Broodspawn, which turned out to be a pretty nasty threat, if easy to kill. In the process you rescued a giant blue fox by the name of Espada... who turned out to be even better at killing broodspawn, and had a history with them.

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">&quot;... what.&quot;

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

Espada:<font color="#990000">In da butt.

Ganti:<font color="#003200">Samara's Irregulars refered to Espada as 'Fisavel', which Serafina recognized from her studies. You've now all transfered back to the Icarus, which has absolutly not suddenly grown an extra deck. That would be silly.

* Serafina Cloudrunner furrows her brow and frowns. &gt;:|

Espada:<font face="Segoe Print" color="#990000">&quot;Why are you all frowny?&quot; :.

* Kiera did most definitely not sneak another swig from her flask when they were boarding again, incidentally. Not that whatever it was seems to be slowing her down.

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">&quot;-- Right, everyone who's been so much as TOUCHED by one of those bugs, on deck, now. Get sun exposure. The last thing we need's an outbreak.&quot; Halfling shoo!

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

* Espada heads up to the top deck, finds a comfy spot and curls up to enjoy the sunlight. |3

Kiera:<font color="#003399">&quot;Like I need an excuse to sunbathe?&quot; Cats. :T

Elisavet Michelakos:<font color="#003200">&quot;... Do I want to know?&quot;

Kiera:<font color="#003399">Catboat is now catnest.

Espada:<font color="#990000">Hey Catladeh.

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">&quot;Complications on shore, captain. Were there any buglike things climbing aboard? Did they bite anyone? If anyone feels cold they should get into the sun until it goes away.&quot;

Espada:<font color="#990000">You now have a big Foxladeh lounging on you. |3

* Serafina Cloudrunner grumbles. &quot; There is no way that thing is a demigoddess. &quot; &gt;:\

Kiera:<font color="#003399">Lapfox? Earpets.

Espada:<font color="#990000">&#171; &#160;1d20+1 = 16 + 1 = 17&#160; <font color="#990000">&#187; Listen...

Elisavet Michelakos:<font color="#003200">&quot;No, nothing like that. Just how bad are said bugs, and should we have provided fire support?&quot;

Espada:<font face="Segoe Print" color="#990000">&quot;Ah, you've heard my title before?&quot; |3

<font color="#990000"> Lean~

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">&quot;Plague of dangerous proportions. And I don't know!&quot; The halfling throws up her hands and tries to shoo the resident mages up top.

Elisavet Michelakos:<font color="#003200">Suffice it to say, they listen.

Espada:<font color="#990000">Happeh fox can has pettinz. |3

* Serafina Cloudrunner ignores the fox. &gt;|

Kiera:<font color="#003399">Blair better get topside too, armour or no! &gt;:o

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">Blair soon has a henpecking halfling on her heels to get up top.

Espada:<font face="Segoe Print" color="#990000">&quot;I get the distinct impression you don't like me.&quot;

* Kiera falls asleep pretty quickly. Lazycat + sun + booze = zzz.

Blair Mac Cionaodha:<font color="#003200">Why? They didn't breath on me. They used THAT up on the skeletons. Amusing, really. Wasting their plague on the one thing immune to it...

Espada:<font color="#990000">Well, no one ever said the Broodspawn were smart.

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">Sau kicks his feet while sitting on the bench.

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+4 = 10 + 4 = 14&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; Sense Motive on the elf. :\

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">Readin'.

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">..... Fine. This time.

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">I see you, Morit.

Morit:<font color="#003200">Hi!

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">You've got the feel of either an Evoker...or a Necromancer.

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">:V

Kiera: <font color="#3399">(( brb, checking trustworthiness of beards scale ))

Meany:<font color="#660033">I didn't know scales could weigh beards.

Espada:<font color="#990000">...Is that a goatee on Sau? &gt;:|

Morit:<font color="#003200">Huh. I do have a beard. Imagine that. It must come from being stuck on a ship without easy access to shaving.

Espada:<font color="#990000">Because goatees are not very trustworthy at all.

Kiera: <font color="#3399">(( oh man he is right in disastrous territory there ))

Kiera: <font color="#3399">(( but I digress ))

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">Actually, its feathers.

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">We kobolds get those every so often.

* Airship crew 5 looks somewhat put out about the two ladies flopped in the lifeboat he was SUPPOSED to be inspecting. Ah well. Time to inspect the other one.

Kiera:<font color="#003399">Shades would be anachronistic, but dude can deal w/ it. Doctor's orders.

Elisavet Michelakos:<font color="#003200">&quot;Okay, details please. Giant bugs. Carrying some sort of diseise. This sounds like something I need to know about.&quot;

Espada:<font face="Segoe Print" color="#990000">&quot;You're pushy, little lady~.&quot;

Espada:<font face="Segoe Print" color="#990000">&quot;Ah, yes. The Broodspawn.&quot;

Espada:<font face="Segoe Print" color="#990000">&quot;They spread a disease called the (Soul Chill was it?). Only cure is sunlight.&quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">&quot;Apparently a type of being called broodspawn which infect a host, with the infection curable by direct sunlight, but eventually causes them to become new broodspawn.&quot;

Elisavet Michelakos: <font color="#3200">(( Brood Fever. ))

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">&quot;A very unwise way of reproducing.&quot;

Espada:<font color="#990000">Brood fever, right. That.

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">&quot;That island held a temple of Fisilia, and... that... thing that's using a demigoddess' name frozen in a statue.&quot;

Kiera:<font color="#003399">You're just mad she's getting more earpets than you are.

Espada:<font face="Segoe Print" color="#990000">&quot;Hey, now you're just being mean! I earned that title by my own talents!&quot;

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">Hoo! &gt;:V -- I MEAN.

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">&quot;I refuse to accept that you're an elven demigoddess without proof, and you're clearly not an elf. So pardon me for getting a little touchy about potential blasphemy.&quot; &gt;:|

Elisavet Michelakos:<font color="#003200">&quot;... I'm begining to think that I made a mistake in starting this venture...&quot;

Espada:<font face="Segoe Print" color="#990000">&quot;Don't you dare accuse me of blasphemy! If it wasn't for me the world as you know it wouldn't even exist!&quot; &gt;:O

Espada:<font color="#990000">Hup, not such a great move, Sera. She's mad now.

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">&quot;You're a freaking blue talking fox!&quot; &gt;:|

Elisavet Michelakos:<font color="#003200">&quot;... Definitly made a mistake...&quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">&quot;Ladies.&quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">&quot;I submit the following.&quot;

Espada:<font face="Segoe Print" color="#990000">&quot;My form has nothing to do with this!&quot; &gt;:O

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">&quot;If the fox is truly a demigoddess, would not another god happily confirm this?&quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">&quot;...Provided they are on the same metaphysical page, after all.&quot;&quot;

Espada:<font face="Segoe Print" color="#990000">&quot;Samara will vouch for me!&quot; &gt;:O

* Serafina Cloudrunner mumbles something quietly and stumps off to fetch something from the medbay.

Kiera:<font color="#003399">Zuh? Weight shift means awake cat. &quot;...some of us are trying to rest over here. Isn't it bad for doctors to interrupt their own patients?&quot;

* Espada growls quietly. Yeah, she's angry. &gt;:|

Elisavet Michelakos:<font color="#003200">&quot;... Well. At least I didn't have to threaten to throw anyone off the ship this time.&quot;

Espada:<font color="#990000">Grumble grumble.

<font face="Segoe Print" color="#990000"> &quot;Calling me a blasphemer. Just because I'm not an elf...&quot;


 * Serafina Cloudrunner returns to the top deck with a pillow and kneels on it at the front of the ship.

Kiera:<font color="#003399">...that's the back of the ship.

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

Kiera: <font color="#3399">(( I mean, if the deck below is any indicator. And the bottommost deck. ))

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">... I KNEW THAT. &gt;:| *stump stump stump*

Liatai:<font color="#000000">The player didn't. Thanks. x3

* Espada glaaaares. &gt;:|

* Serafina Cloudrunner ignores everyone, hands clasped in prayer.

Elisavet Michelakos:<font color="#003200">&quot;... Okay, looks like I still might have to throw someone off the ship. Possibly litterally.&quot;

Kiera:<font color="#003399">Silly halflings. No wonder you get lost and wind up going on silly adventures all the time. No sense of direction!

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

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

Espada:<font color="#990000">Lapfox get again.

Kiera:<font color="#003399">Oof!

* Glitch pops in to shout. I CAN SEE EVERYTHIIIIIING. :U

Espada:<font face="Segoe Print" color="#990000">&quot;Mmm, been so long since I got to lounge in the sun like this...&quot;

Kiera:<font color="#003399">Directed at the Captain, whilst Sera meditates on the meaning of FOXES-- &quot;Temples with hidden rooms and swarms of beasties aside, I'd say this has rather been a bust. We found some ore veins on the same island we found Gonzalez and his crew, but that's about it.&quot;

* Espada lets the sunshine melt away her anger. |3

Espada:<font face="Segoe Print" color="#990000">&quot;I hope to see that temple restored someday. It was beautiful, long ago.&quot;

Elisavet Michelakos:<font color="#003200">&quot;Yes... The historical society might pay for the knowledge of the temple, and I've heard that Mehmunds planing on expanding some so they'll pay a good amount for a map of a cleared out island, but it really wasn't up to what I was hoping for.&quot;

Kiera:<font color="#003399">Shrug. &quot;Religious folk'll probably be interested in restoring the temple, but I doubt they'd be able to pay much.&quot;

Espada:<font face="Segoe Print" color="#990000">&quot;Pay or no, I intend to find someone who can.&quot;

Elisavet Michelakos:<font color="#003200">&quot;Such is, alas, often the way of things. As long as we make something of an actuall profit it's better then some trips I've been on.&quot;

Espada:<font face="Segoe Print" color="#990000">&quot;Fisilia deserves better than to have her temples desecrated.&quot;

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Kiera: I've just realized. With Rail (and thus Kaz) gone, our primary melee fighters are all women. Protecting squishy wizard-men. This is like, inverse RPG party gender rules.

* Glitch approves.

* Glitch approves very much. |3

Kiera: <font color="#3399">(( SILENCE IN THE PEANUT GALLERY ))

* Serafina Cloudrunner continues to pray in an undertone in her native Halfling tongue, head bowed.

Kiera:<font color="#003399">Ooh, ooh, what's she saying? I know halfling! |D

Espada:<font color="#990000">Not a language I know. :B

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">&quot; (... Yasalia, the Guiding Star, Mistress of Change, Lady of the Sextant, steer my compass... I may not be the greatest or wisest of your supplicants, but please, I ask you for guidance on my journey. My ship has been buffetted by fierce winds and swirling eddies, and threatens to o'erturn. What is the meaning of all these strange animals you have set upon my path...? First the owl, then the cat and the spider, and now, the blue fox of five tails who dares to claim the impossible. ... What are my paths? What is the way you're trying to steer me to? ...) &quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">Reminds me of a Dark Heresy party I readabout

VAE:<font color="#000000">male psyker, a female rogue and a Sista

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">... She pauses for some time, then looks up, searching the sky. &quot; (... Why don't you answer me...?) &quot;

Elisavet Michelakos: <font color="#3200">(( Mostly becuase my computer froze. ))

Liatai: <font color="#0">(( Because you're not high enough level to know Augury, Sera -- *brick'd* ))

Espada:<font color="#990000">Espada hops down and takes a seat beside Sera.

Kiera:<font color="#003399">A somewhat indignant mutter comes from the 'boat--  &quot;The cat?!&quot;  &gt;:T

Espada:<font face="Segoe Print" color="#990000">&quot;I may not know your language, but I get the gist of what you are trying to do. Let me help.&quot;

Espada:<font face="Segoe Print" color="#990000">&quot;...Yasalia, is it?&quot;

* Serafina Cloudrunner mutters aside irritably. &quot; I don't need your help to talk to my goddess. Leave me in peace. &quot;

* Espada ignores and bows her head as well.

Espada:<font color="#990000">The fox takes a deep breath and begins to speak in Elven.

VAE:<font color="#000000">folks, is a snake familiar small or tiny?

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

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

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">Tiny.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">It's a Tiny viper.

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

Elisavet Michelakos:<font color="#003200">All familiars are Tiny.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Because a lot o sizes exist, see

Liatai:<font color="#000000">... which are oddly hard to find pictures of, most venemous snakes fall in the Small to Medium range length-wise. :B

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Venemous? Venomous?

Kiera:<font color="#003399">Venomous.

Espada:<font color="#990000">Hope it doesn't sound bad. I'm not religious, so I don't pray. :B

Kiera:<font color="#003399">Not me. |D

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">What is this moonspeak -- sunspeak -- oh whatever! *brick'd*

Ganti:<font color="#003200">... Damnit. I was REALLY hoping to keep the deities OUT of this for a while longer...

Espada:<font color="#990000">Really? None of you know Elven? :o

Blair Mac Cionaodha:<font color="#003200">Ah do. Ah'm just beloo decks.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Ganti, she doesn't need to answer.

Espada:<font color="#990000">Umm, sorry? :B

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Why would she? Sera's a level 1 acolyte, and didn't even cast Augury. She's just praying. :B

Espada:<font color="#990000">But she has a Demi-Goddess praying with her, so...yeah. :B

Espada:<font color="#990000">Well, former, technically.

Ganti:<font color="#003200">... You know what? I'm going to go with the fact that it's the wrong time of day. If Yasalia's technically a star...

Liatai:<font color="#000000">There are likely acolytes all over the world asking that same question. A crisis of faith for a cleric can be a milestone. Either reinforcing their faith by overcoming the test, or by weeding out the unfaithful when they give up.

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">Or She might be busy.

Ganti:<font color="#003200">Yeah, I can see Yasalia ignoring Serafina. But... eh. I suppose I brought it on myself by giving RAM that much of a free hand, but it was decent, intreaging backstory and fit in well with my world.

Meany:<font color="#660033">&quot;Yasalia! Marry Us!&quot; *Goddess fighting an army of demons* &quot;I'M A LITTLE BUSY AT THE MOMENT!&quot;

Espada:<font color="#990000">Well, it can easily be said that Espada doesn't get an asnwer either since she can't feel her Divine Spark anymore. :B

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Besides, this has such a potential for a running gag. :3

Glitch:<font color="#000000">&quot;I'm a goddess! I swear!&quot;

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

</i> Espada:<font color="#990000">D: Glitch:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh yeah? Do (this thing that would prove it)&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">That's kind of what I was aiming for. :P

Meany:<font color="#660033">Look what youb did, Glitch. &gt;:U

Glitch:<font color="#000000">&quot;HRRRRRNG--.... I'magoddessIswear.&quot;

Espada:<font color="#990000">Well, it'll be pretty much proven in two more levels at the latest, sooooo...

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Which, yes, lends itself excellently to the finale.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Given the rate of levelling in this campaign?

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Everyone *AGAPE*

Liatai:<font color="#000000">That'll be many sessions. :B

Espada:<font color="#990000">Hmm, troof.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">&quot;I told you I was a goddess. :&gt; )

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Many potential places to wring a gag from the nothingness. :B

Glitch:<font color="#000000">&quot;I toooold yooooou sooooo.&quot;

Espada:<font color="#990000">Hmm, I need to find some theme music for Espada.

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

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

Meany:<font color="#660033">Yo.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">nutshell: Espada continually trying--and failing-- to prove she's a goddess until the party firmly sees her as crying wolf...and -then- she manages to prove it. ;)

Espada:<font color="#990000">Except she could fairly easily prove it, actually. :B

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Ram; but this way it will be funnier. :&gt;

Espada:<font color="#990000">Sending to Samara: &quot;Hey, tell them I'm really a Demi-Goddess!&quot;

Espada:<font color="#990000">Buuut yeah, it'll be funnier this way. :B

Kiera:<font color="#003399">And then you get her Answering Machine.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Anyways, tokens statted out

Kiera: <font color="#3399">(( &quot;Please hold, your Sending is important to us...&quot; ))

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Ram; were you around when Hatari did his mini-lecture on how to properly hold things back for the appropriate dramatic effect? :U

Glitch:<font color="#000000">It was awhile ago, and I doubt you were around...

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Oo, Hatari did a mini-lecture? :o

Glitch:<font color="#000000">(I'm still trying to learn from it)

Espada:<font color="#990000">No, I wasn't. :B

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Lia; you were there.

Elisavet Michelakos:<font color="#003200">Okay, Serafina and Espada are off praying to a deity who is busy at the moment, and they're doing during the wrong time of day, so it'll be lost by the time she gets around to dealing with her prayer backlog.

Espada:<font color="#990000">Buuut, whatever. enough faffing about!

Glitch:<font color="#000000">When he was talking about how he ran Otto, where Otto -had- the capacity to create one Ultimate Nuke a day if he blew all his Suddens on it--but only ever did it -once-, to prove the situation finally got under his skin?

VAE:<font color="#000000">Hataru said what?

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

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">&quot;I need to focus. Please leave me alone.&quot;

Espada:<font color="#990000">After a few moments of nothing, Espada opens her eyes. The sorrow coming from her is almost palpable.

Espada:<font face="Segoe Print" color="#990000"> &quot;I guess it really is gone...&quot;

Espada:<font color="#990000">She stands and walks away, heading back into the ship.

Espada:<font face="Segoe Print" color="#990000">&quot;I need to be alone.&quot;

Elisavet Michelakos:<font color="#003200">&quot;... Good luck with that. This is a ship. There's no such thing as 'alone' here.&quot;

Espada:<font face="Segoe Print" color="#990000">&quot;I'll manage.&quot;

Espada:<font color="#990000">And gone.

Kiera:<font color="#003399">Shrug. Back to snoozin' over here, then.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">... I'm kind of surprised no one on the ship has reacted to, you know. Giant blue fox with a sword. :B

* Elisavet Michelakos stands up, shaking head. &quot;Okay, so. Broodspawn. How bad are they, and how likely are we to run into them again?&quot;

Espada:<font color="#990000">She eventually finds an empty storage room and curls up into a tight ball.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">(Lia; I think at this point, it's turning into player jadedness a little less than character-adventurer jadedness. &gt;.&gt; )

Kiera:<font color="#003399">...half-snoozin'. &quot;I think we pissed their boss off.&quot;

Elisavet Michelakos:<font color="#003200">&quot;... Their... boss?&quot;

Kiera: <font color="#3399">(( we have cthulhu in our mess hall. blue foxes are nothing in comparison. :v ))

* Elisavet Michelakos sighs. &quot;Okay, tell me everything you know about them.&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">... Where is everyone? ^^;

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

Elisavet Michelakos: <font color="#3200">(( I don't know! ))

* VAE is waiting to be somehow put in

* Kiera waves in Sera's general direction. &quot;She 'n' th' fox are the experts on 'em. All I remember is a bunch of blathering about how we'd gotten the attention of someone important related to them or something.&quot;

Meany:<font color="#660033">I am waiting for the Morit plot to start up. ^^;

Kiera:<font color="#003399">I'm drunk, what's your excuse for forgetting?

Meany:<font color="#660033">Been thinking of ways to explain what magic is to the uninitiated. :d

* Serafina Cloudrunner 's hair may be puffing up a bit -- no, it's just the wind. Nobody's willing to let an acolyte pray in peace these days! =w=# *brick'd*

* Elisavet Michelakos groans, pinching the bridge of her nose. &quot;So... the experts are trying to kill each other before they can share the information everyone else needs to stay alive. Wonderful.&quot;

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">&quot;The fox-creature told you most everything,&quot; the halfling says with a huff, turning around. &quot;We don't know who they come from or where they originate. They're just carriers of a horrible plague, which the only known cure for is sun exposure and the only known symptom is a feeling of cloying chill -- 'soul chill,' they call it. They're enemies of the churches of Bran, Yasalia, and especially Fisilia.&quot;

Elisavet Michelakos: <font color="#3200">(( Sulucamas? You still here? ))

Sulucamas:<font color="#006666">Yorp :)

VAE:<font color="#000000">Giles the Historian... does this mean Ganti is a Buffy fan too, or is the naming incidental?

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">&quot;Is there a cure after the disease reaches fruition?&quot;

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">&quot;You were there for Giles' history lesson as well as I was.&quot;

Kiera:<font color="#003399">&quot;Didn't those old scrolls we recovered have something to do with that?&quot; Vague recollections that are probably wrong, ho!

Elisavet Michelakos: <font color="#3200">(( Yes. ))

Elisavet Michelakos: <font color="#3200">(( Talking to Vae, by the way. ))

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">&quot;The plague is fatal upon fruition and changes the bodies into broodspawn, which spread the disease further. The sooner it's caught and treated, the easier it is to treat.&quot;

* Elisavet Michelakos raises an eyebrow. &quot;That's quite the collection of enemies they have there. It seems like they would be quite old to garner the wrath of Fisala. Her influence in the world fell apart quite a long time ago...&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">Means he absolutely needs to be Archivist class.

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">&quot;What happens to the soul of the person in question?&quot;

Espada:<font color="#990000">Fisala, or Fisilia? :.

Kiera: <font color="#3399">(( gods can have multiple names? |D ))

Kiera: <font color="#3399">(( just look at the romans and greeks ))

Espada:<font color="#990000">Fisala is my name.

Espada:<font color="#990000">No, wait.

Kiera: <font color="#3399">(( but you're Espada D: ))

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

Espada:<font color="#990000">Fisavel. Sorry. x3

Elisavet Michelakos: <font color="#3200">(( ... You're Fisavel. ))

Espada:<font color="#990000">Brain faaaaaart.

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">&quot;I don't know!&quot; the halfling growls, pressing a hand to her forehead. &quot;You know as much as I do. I'm just an acolyte -- I wasn't around when the plague was a big deal!&quot;

Elisavet Michelakos: <font color="#3200">(( And yeah, it's Fisila. I just can't spell. ))

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">&quot;I wasn't directly asking you, Serafina.&quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">&quot;It was an open question, for anyone to answer.&quot;

Kiera:<font color="#003399">&quot;Like any of the rest of us are going to know either.&quot;

Elisavet Michelakos:<font color="#003200">&quot;We'll have to ask Giles when we return to Najib.&quot;

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">&quot;Well I don't see the fox, and somebody pointed me out as an expert for some reason, so I assumed it was for me.&quot; :\

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

Sulucamas:<font color="#006666">(( :B ))

Elisavet Michelakos:<font color="#003200">&quot;Okay, unless anyone has any objections, I'm going to mark the temple island as a biohazard zone, and reccomend a quarentine. That way whatever the broodspawn are will be contained if they aren't already eliminated.&quot;

Morit:<font color="#003200">&quot;Seems logical enough.&quot;

Sulucamas:<font color="#006666">(( Sorry for the wait. I thought I'd loaded this map before. :/ ))

Kiera:<font color="#003399">&quot;It was a mess in there, could've been more lurking inside the temple. We didn't have time to do a thorough search.&quot;

Elisavet Michelakos:<font color="#003200">&quot;Right. Serafina? Aurixsauriv? Anything else to add before I turn this ship around and head home?&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">BRB, dog dinner.

Elisavet Michelakos: <font color="#3200">(( Meany ping? ))

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">&quot;I got nothing.&quot; ^^: Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">Makin' a map.

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">&#171; &#160;1d20+11+mod = 18 + 11 + 0 = 29&#160; <font color="#660033">&#187; Knowledge Geography check!

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">Of the entire contents of the skyrift that we have explored thus far, trying to make it as detailed as possible.

Kiera:<font color="#003399">Any more detailed and you'll be drawing individual leaves there, man.

Elisavet Michelakos:<font color="#003200">&quot;Right then. According to our watchman, the last island is just a floating mountain. It might have a cave system that could be expanded into a decent outpost of some kind, but nothing that we could find.&quot;

* Elisavet Michelakos stands up and heads below deck to the cockpit, engaging the engine and slowly turning the ship around, before picking up speed and heading towards the enterance to this location.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Few more minutes, sorry.

Kiera:<font color="#003399">'This location'. How delightfully vague.

Espada:<font color="#990000">x3

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Sorry sorry. The pill that the owners assured me the dog was eating just fine without any special treatment, she was spitting out. :B

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">Sau closes the book, and looks at the human. :V

Morit:<font color="#003200">No worries. Anyway, the ships on it's way back to Najib.

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">&quot;Shall we begin, Morit.&quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">?*

Morit:<font color="#003200">&quot;Certainly...&quot; He trails off, looking a little hesitant, then adds &quot;Sir?&quot; on the end.

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">&quot;We are not at the point where titles are required, Morit. Though in later lessons we will cover how to work with people, and titles will be a part of that, such things are distant.&quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">&quot;For now, take a seat, and let us talk about what magic, at its most basic level, is.&quot;

Morit:<font color="#003200">&quot;Ah. Very well, Saur. He takes a seat next to you on the gangplank.

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">&quot;Magic, at the most basic level, is the manipulation of a force called mana.&quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">&quot;Mana is a fundamental energy type, like heat and light.&quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">&quot;When channeled, it is in my experience felt as is fine sand rolling around in your limbs. Mana can be controlled by multiple forces, in the case of wizardry, the strength of our intellect.&quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">&quot;In the case of Sorcerors, like Roland, they use the strength of their personalities, and in the case of clerics, the strength of their faith.&quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">Sau flips open to an early page in his book. &quot;This is a diagram, putting the basic excersise of mana into terms of math.&quot;

Morit:<font color="#003200">&quot;So, their faith is what shapes their magic, correct? Which is why they are limited to only select set of spells, as they believe those represent their deity the best?&quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">&quot;That, and that all mana must have a source.&quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">&quot;This causes the fundamental divide in magic, divine and arcane.&quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">&quot;Divine magic originates from the gods, from extraplanar locations, or from the world itself.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">Didn't mention archivists :3 Wizards of the divine

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">&quot;Arcane magic originates from nonphysical sources in the universe. Usually from the caster's own body, but sometimes other sources like dreams, the imagination, or science.&quot;

Morit:<font color="#003200">&quot;Um. Wouldn't our bodies qualify as a physical source?&quot;

* Espada emerges a short time later, and goes to raid the store room. :9

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">&quot;Not really. It originates not from the body per se...&quot;

Kiera:<font color="#003399">In before drunkfox. :x

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">&quot;It orginates from either the mind, or the soul inside the body. While being a part of the body, and both being dependent on organs of the body, are not strictly physical.&quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">&quot;The term metaphysical applies to these.&quot;

Morit:<font color="#003200">&quot;Ah. Thank you.&quot; He studies the diagram you presented earlier closely.

* Espada returns to the top deck with a collection of dries meats. :9

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">How does one dries?

Espada:<font color="#990000">Lapfox get!

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

Kiera:<font color="#003399">Argh.

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">Sau pulls on the page, expanding it to include an alternate diagram, and the key for symbols.

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">&quot;The first diagram is for drawing magic from the mind, while this second is for drawing from the soul. It doesn't have a functional difference beyond preference.&quot;

Morit:<font color="#003200">&quot;Hm. So it would be best to attempt both and see which one feels better, correct?&quot;

Espada:<font face="Segoe Print" color="#990000">&quot;This jerky is delicious!&quot; :O

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">&quot;Though there are different mythologies originating from each. As you can see, the Mind diagram is contained within the circle, while the soul is equally outside and inside the circle.&quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">&quot;Quite so.&quot;

Espada:<font face="Segoe Print" color="#990000">&quot;Want some?&quot;

Espada:<font color="#990000">Jerky offered!

* Kiera verifies this deliciousness or lack thereof for herself. Foxes can't be trusted!

Espada:<font color="#990000">So says the cat. :B

Kiera:<font color="#003399">I am totally trustworthy! Bluff check! &#171; &#160;1d20+9 = 15 + 9 = 24&#160; <font color="#003399">&#187;

Kiera:<font color="#003399">See?

Espada:<font color="#990000">I have a -1 sense motive mod. I'm not even gonna try. x3

VAE:<font color="#000000">Whose is Kiera?

Meany:<font color="#660033">Arcalane.

VAE:<font color="#000000">roll, maybe a 20

Espada:<font color="#990000">Doesn't matter.

Espada:<font color="#990000">A 20 on a skill check is just a 20.

VAE:<font color="#000000">For sense motive and the like, I'd allow crit successes.

VAE:<font color="#000000">because it's meaningful there

* Morit frowns and concentrates on the first diagram... at which point all his hair stands on end and he grabs the metal railing. &quot;...That reminded me of the time Miss Blair asked me to help her and forgot that I was holding onto a pair of wires so she switched on the generator connected to them....&quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">&quot;In a good way or a bad way?&quot;

Kiera: <font color="#3399">(( it's moot because that wasn't a serious roll anyway :P ))

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

* Morit frowns. &quot;... A good way, I think. It felt similar to that, but under my control. It felt... powerful, but not wild, if that makes any sense.&quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">&quot;It does.&quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">&quot;Now, try to get that effect again without the diagram to guide you.&quot;

* Morit closes his eyes, focusing on the sensation and the steps he took to get it... &#171; &#160;1d20+2 = 17 + 2 = 19&#160;  &#187;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">The force is strong with this one.

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

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

Sharpshot4321:<font color="#006666">figures the one alarm I have for that clock and it breaks

Morit:<font color="#003200">Ayup. His hair reacted the same way again. He opens his eyes. &quot;...It's... potent. Very potent. It could easily become too much of a good thing.&quot;

Morit: <font color="#3200">(( Heyo sharp. ))

Sharpshot4321:<font color="#006666">((Which map?))

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">&quot;Alright.&quot;

Morit: <font color="#3200">(( Airship, currently. ))

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">&quot;Now, try to sustain the feeling. For two deep breaths.&quot;

Kiera: <font color="#3399">(( &quot;And now you know why wizarding as we know it is kind of dead.&quot; ))

* Morit nods, then closes his eyes again. &#171; &#160;1d20+2 = 9 + 2 = 11&#160;  &#187; int check.

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">&quot;Your concerns on too much of a good thing are correct. It can be intoxicating. The key is to learn control. It is your power, and it bows to you. Consequentially, you are responsible for the effects. Keeping the effect active, and calling it when you wish it will increase your control.&quot;

Roland:<font color="#006666">((How long has it been since the last time we played?))

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

Morit: <font color="#3200">(( Technically, one week. In practice, two as a number OH! In game wise? They just got done with the debreifing and are heading back to Najib. ))

Roland:<font color="#006666">((K, thanks))

* Morit breathes deeply... once, then twice, and he begins to breath in a third time, then it fails on him. &quot;Hm. Tricky. Very tricky.&quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">Sau produces a brown book from his satchel. &quot;And when you're done, write about what you've learned, experienced, and some ideas you have for how to control your power.&quot;

Morit:<font color="#003200">&quot;I...&quot; He takes the book. &quot;Thank you.&quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">&quot;You're welcome.&quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">&quot;Do you feel like you can continue?&quot;

* Morit frowns, thinking, then nods. &quot;Yes.&quot;

Morit:<font color="#003200">&#171; &#160;1d20+2 = 8 + 2 = 10&#160; <font color="#003200">&#187;

Morit:<font color="#003200">Two and a half deep breaths seems to be the standard for him at the moment.

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">&quot;Alright.&quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">Sau flips a few pages ahead in his book. &quot;Here are the eight schools of magic.&quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">Paragraphs outlying the eight schools, along with small but detailed diagrams of the basic magical feel of each school are displayed.

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">&quot;They control how magic works. There are technically nine, with the ninth being the universal spells that users of any of the eight schools can call from.&quot;

Kiera: <font color="#3399">(( thought that said 'basic magical feet' for a moment. please excuse my tiredness. XP ))

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">&quot;Normally, when you dedicate yourself to one school of magic, you must give up some other schools to balance it.&quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">&quot;Some schools, like divination, require less sacrifice. Some, like necromancy, require more.&quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">&quot;For some reason, divination is not a school of magic easily cut out of your system, the text says it has not been achieved. Which is just as well, it is useful.&quot;

* Morit nods, examining the diagrams for each school carefully.

Morit:<font color="#003200">He stops and frowns intently at the diagram for transmutation, then looks at his right sleeve, which is torn slightly. &quot;... No, I shouldn't attempt that yet. Too much of a chance for things to go wrong.&quot;

* Glitch pops in. By the way, neat roleplaying with teaching magic. :U

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">Sau snaps his fingers, whereupon an arcing current of electricity connects the two digits.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">(though...if the guy doesn't have any caster levels yet at all, it seems a bit...fast and easy for him to be picking it up on the first day. &gt;.&gt; )

VAE:<font color="#000000">Well, picking up a cantrip might be doable

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">&quot;A little trick I figured out for feeling how another mage's magic works. It is useful for learning from sorcerers, who do not do things as...verbose, as we would like.&quot;

Roland:<font color="#006666">((Would you rather we strech the RP out for weeks?))

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">&quot;Put your finger in the lightning, and I'll show you some transmutation.&quot;

Morit: <font color="#3200">(( This is the most basic of basics. He hasn't even managed a cantrip yet. ))

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

* Morit nods, and carefuly puts his finger in said lightning. He looks a little worried, but he evidently trusts you.

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">Bam.

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">Mending on dat sleeve.

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">The feelings that cross over to the man are undoubtedly associated with thoughts like 'change' 'be not this' and 'control'.

* Morit blinks. Then he blinks again. &quot;That felt a lot like I thought it would. There were some major differences, yes, but it still felt... hm. Right, perhaps?&quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">&quot;That is a good way to describe it.&quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">&quot;Now you must feel out some magics from the other schools, to find what feels wrong.&quot;

Morit: <font color="#3200">(( Yeah, this guy's actually more inclined towards transmutation then anything else. ))

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">Shall we breeze over the particulars, to find his prohibited schools? :3

Morit:<font color="#003200">Sure!

Morit: <font color="#3200">(( I was thinking enchantment would be one of them. ))

Morit: <font color="#3200">(( Enchantment and Illusion. He's really not good at forcing his will on others. ))

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">Just forcing his will onto things.

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">:B

Roland:<font color="#006666">((Things tend to not fight back as much XD))

Morit: <font color="#3200">(( He's got good... 'fine control' so to speak, but it doesn't extend to theory of mind. ))

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">Sau reaches into his satchel.

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">And produces a yellow scarf, and a yellow disk.

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">The scarf he throws over Morit's shoulders, and the disk is affixed to the brown book.

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">On the disk is, in black, a rune meaning 'transmute'. &quot;Welcome to the basics of magic, Transmuter.&quot;

* Espada hops down and approaches from where she was watching.

Espada:<font face="Segoe Print" color="#990000">&quot;Congradulations, Mage.&quot; :3

* Morit nods. &quot;... Thank you again. It's...&quot; He smiles, a little sheepishly. &quot;The thing is, Mehmund? We're not exactly the kind to ignore the past... We still have histories, accounts, and stories of Wizards. They're... humbling. And a little awe inspiring.&quot; He shakes his head. &quot;I can't tell you how many little brats swear they're going to be a wizard one day.&quot;

Kiera:<font color="#003399"> &quot;Here's to hoping he doesn't transmute us all into fish.&quot;

Espada:<font face="Segoe Print" color="#990000">&quot;...Are Wizards not common anymore?&quot; :.

* Roland snorts at that

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">&quot;The Wizards, and the Elves who used to occupy many of their population, are both bordering extinction.&quot;

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Esapda: Now she learns just how long she's been asleep. :B

Espada:<font color="#990000">Espada seems very shocked by this.

Espada:<font face="Segoe Print" color="#990000">&quot;Wizards...and Elves? W-what happened?&quot;

Espada:<font color="#990000">She already knows how long she's been asleep. :B

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">&quot;I'm not the best to know about the elves.&quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">&quot;But after the cataclysm, the wizardly centers of learning were destroyed. The wizards who survived are busy fighting monsters and each other for the old magics, instead of trying to relearn those magics, and rebuild the colleges.&quot;

Espada:<font face="Segoe Print" color="#990000">&quot;...Much has changed in four thousand years...&quot;

Roland:<font color="#006666">&quot;Time is kinda like that. Changing.&quot;

Morit:<font color="#003200">&quot;I... don't really know about the elves... But the Great Colleges... During the Godwars... They were a target. The council of Archmagi... Even more so. Samara only survived because...&quot; He shrugs. &quot;Samara has earned his title.&quot;

Espada:<font face="Segoe Print" color="#990000">&quot;I...remember that. But...to think they would not have rebuilt after all these years. And the Elves...my people, on the verge of extinction...&quot;

Espada:<font face="Segoe Print" color="#990000"> &quot;Was my sacrifice for nothing...?&quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">&quot;Talk to Blair.&quot;

Morit:<font color="#003200">&quot;Heh. It's only around a thousand years ago that we developed airships.&quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">&quot;She's an elf, she would know.&quot;

Espada:<font face="Segoe Print" color="#990000">&quot;Yes, I shall. But...later. This is much to take in.&quot;

Glitch:<font color="#000000">...Man, Espada's having a -really- bad day. :B

Espada:<font color="#990000">Yeah, she is.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">First she wakes up in the middle of an invasion of her home, then she realizes her godspark is (temporarily) gone, now she learns her people are on their way out. :B

* Serafina Cloudrunner is still kneeling, listening quitely. Eavesdropping owl~

Kiera: <font color="#3399">(( Also, she's a fox, not an elf. :V ))

Espada:<font color="#990000">She's an Elven Demi-Goddess.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">She just called the elves &quot;her people&quot; :B

Espada:<font color="#990000">As far as she's concerned, the Evles are her people.

Kiera: <font color="#3399">(( right, I keep thinking that means she -was- an elf at some point and got changed. pff, gods. :T ))

Espada:<font color="#990000">She's a Guardian Spirit who just happens to take the form of a fox. :B

Espada:<font color="#990000">Espada is silent for a moment, but shakes off the sudden bout of melancholy.

Espada:<font face="Segoe Print" color="#990000">&quot;At any rate, it is good to see there are still some trying to bring back the old ways.&quot; :3

Morit:<font color="#003200">Okay, anyone else have any RP in mind, or should we timeskip?

Espada:<font color="#990000">Timeskip sounds good to me.

Roland:<font color="#006666">((Anything I should know about what we are doing?))

Roland:<font color="#006666">((Before important stuff happens.))

Morit: <font color="#3200">(( Yeah. They finished up with the exploration thing and are heading back to Najib to sell the maps they made. ))

Kiera: <font color="#3399">(( Timeskip sounds like a plan. ))

Roland:<font color="#006666">((We decided to not go back and explore that cave system we skipped?))

Morit: <font color="#3200">(( Aye, I think so. ))

Roland:<font color="#006666">((K, timeskip ho!))

* VAE purr

Morit:<font color="#003200">Okay, that's 3/5. Timeskip it is!

Icarus:<font color="#003200">So! You lot spend two weeks doing whatever it is you do, and the Icarus arrives back at Najib.

* Espada tries to get used to the new time period, and come to terms with everything that's happened.

Kiera:<font color="#003399">Sunbathing. Doctor's orders. |D

Espada:<font color="#990000">And maybe find out why Sera seems to dislike her so much. &gt;: * Roland spends as much time on the (new) deck as possible.

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">Trying to drown self in work instead of dwelling on the potential manifestation of a demigoddess and the ensuing theological dilemnas it presents until higher-ups in the church confirm or deny and praying. Quite a fair bit.

Icarus:<font color="#003200">Okay, soon enough you're docked at Najib. You're given your months worth of pay... Which is about 8 silver, I believe. You can visit the market, the temple, or just explore.

Espada:<font color="#990000">Do I get paid? :o

Alth:<font color="#003200">This fellow here decides to go get drunk.

Elisavet Michelakos:<font color="#003200">Not unless you sign on with the crew... And then you only get 4 silver.

Kiera: <font color="#3399">(( what would you spend it on anyway? foxtreats? :v ))

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">&quot;Well... here we are. Najib.&quot; Sera goes to check on her charges in the medbay. &quot;Have you thought about what you want to do with your second chances?&quot;

Elisavet Michelakos:<font color="#003200">Oh, hey. I did remember to give you lot EXP for the broodspawn both sessions, right?

Roland:<font color="#006666">don't remember

Kiera:<font color="#003399">I believe so, it was just sod all.

Espada:<font color="#990000">Yeah, I think you did.

Espada:<font color="#990000">And I would spend money on better armor. The armor I'm wearing is 4000 years old, after all. :B

Roland:<font color="#006666">I remember getting it for the session where we found the fox, but not for the breaking out of the temple afterwords.

Kiera:<font color="#003399">My last count has us at about 7,720/10,000

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

Roland:<font color="#006666">then i'm behind

Espada:<font color="#990000">Pretty sure we got last sessions XP'z.

Kiera:<font color="#003399">I think it was given in IRC maybe?

Kiera:<font color="#003399">'cause I can't find 7720 in my logs either.

Gonzalez:<font color="#003200">&quot;I...&quot; He shrugs vaguely. &quot;I must admit I'm still not sure what I could do. The others are planning on finding another job as sailors, which I must admit is very brave of them. I don't think I could do so after what they went through... And I still have questions about my current... state of existance. The Church of Bran might have some answers for me.&quot;

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

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">&quot;I could show you the way to it, if you like.&quot;

Gomez:<font color="#003200">&quot;Ach, Captain. You said you were interested in going sailing again as well!&quot;

* Kiera makes a small trip to the markets to buy some odds and ends, whilst the others are distracted.

Espada:<font face="Segoe Print" color="#990000">&quot;May I come with?&quot; :3

Espada:<font face="Segoe Print" color="#990000">&quot;Bran was an ally of Fisilia, and a good friend of mine.&quot;

Gonzalez:<font color="#003200">&quot;I... would be much obliged, little priestess.&quot; He pauses and looks at Gomez. &quot;I would indeed. I just don't know what good I'd do on a ship.&quot; He puts his hand through the wall, and then immediately yanks it back in. It's smoking a little. &quot;...&quot;

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

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

Gonzalez:<font color="#003200">&quot;Hello to you to. I was wondering when we'd meet.&quot;

Espada:<font face="Segoe Print" color="#990000">&quot;Pleased to meet you. I am Espada.&quot; :3

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">&quot;Where did you --&quot;

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

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">&quot;Nuisance is more like it.&quot; The halfling sighs irritably. &quot;Fine. But don't complain if they make you wear a leash.&quot;

Gonzalez:<font color="#003200">&quot;I am Gonzalez, former Captain of the Chedyn. These are my crew, Gomez, Wednesday, Fester and Fargus.&quot;

Gonzalez:<font color="#003200">&quot;Or were. It gets... confusing.&quot;

Espada:<font face="Segoe Print" color="#990000">&quot;They wouldn't dare leash me.&quot; &gt;:|

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">&quot;You're a fox.&quot;

Espada:<font face="Segoe Print" color="#990000">&quot;I am Fisavel! No follower or Bran would dare!&quot; &gt;:O

* Serafina Cloudrunner throws up her hands. &quot;Does no one else but me see how weird this is?!&quot; =3=### *brick'd*

Espada:<font color="#990000">*of

Gonzalez:<font color="#003200">&quot;One that is larger then you are, bright blue, and has at least five tails.&quot;

Espada:<font face="Segoe Print" color="#990000">&quot;Five, yes.&quot; :3

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">&quot;A weird fox, but still a fox! And I'm not talking about Bran's folk -- I'm talking about the people of the city!&quot;

* VAE gonna sound silly, but wondering when he'll be able to come in.

Gonzalez:<font color="#003200">&quot;I'd say she's a Djinn of some kind, normally.&quot;

Espada:<font face="Segoe Print" color="#990000">&quot;Let them try. They will find such a task difficult.&quot; &gt;:|

Gonzalez:<font color="#003200">&quot;The people of Najib wouldn't care, as long as she manages to play up the 'Visiting Spirit' aspect and stays out of sight of those from Ethne.&quot;

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

Kiera:<font color="#003399">...hooboy.

* Serafina Cloudrunner mumbles something about the world going insane and busies herself collecting her things for an outing.

* Roland will wonder the ship till he finds the captain. &quot;Captain?&quot;

Flaal:<font color="#006666">(( Hey all, I'm gonna have to go in 15. Sorry for not mentioning it sooner. ))

RAM:<font color="#990000">Flaal?

VAE:<font color="#000000">who's that?

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

RAM:<font color="#990000">WHO DIS?!

RAM:<font color="#990000">Oh, hey Sulu. :B

Gonzalez:<font color="#003200">&quot;The 'Republic' of Ethne. Last bastion of the Elves. Or at least, those that don't flee from it's 'protection'. Currently in a Cold War with... pretty much everyone, but mostly the Church of Bran. Something to do with not handing over a 'heritic priestess of Fisilia' for 'proper punishment'.&quot;

Gonzalez: <font color="#3200">(( Noted. Sorry about that Sul. ))

Gonzalez: <font color="#3200">(( We came much closer to getting you in this time. ))

Glitch:<font color="#000000">aaaand just told the 'guadian goddess of elves' of the 'last bastion of elves'....

Sulucamas:<font color="#006666">(( 's'all good :) ))

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

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Wonder how she's gonna react to that...

Glitch:<font color="#000000">....good enough. :B

Espada:<font color="#990000">Oh dear, I think you just broke her.

* Gonzalez blinks. Or at least his eyes flicker. &quot;Did I stutter?&quot;

Kiera: <font color="#3399">(( hence that OOCish '...hooboy' earlier. :X ))

Espada:<font face="Segoe Print" color="#990000">&quot;N-no. That...that cannot be.&quot;

Roland:<font color="#006666">I wonder what a 5 tailed fox with a broken mind looks like.

Espada:<font face="Segoe Print" color="#990000">&quot;The Elves would never do such a thing!&quot;

Glitch:<font color="#000000">all five swishy tails going still? :B

Kiera:<font color="#003399">One tail for each stage - denial, anger, acceptance, etc.

Roland:<font color="#006666">XD

Espada:<font face="Segoe Print" color="#990000">&quot;Bran has been one of our closest allies for...for millenia!&quot;

Espada:<font color="#990000">Yes, all five tails going stock still.

Roland:<font color="#006666">I believe its Denial, Anger, Bargining, Dispair, and Acceptaince. Might have got the 4th wrong))

Gonzalez:<font color="#003200">&quot;I... do not pretend to understand the politics behind it, but I do know that they... You don't look like an elf.&quot;

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">&quot;It's true. Most elves worship Aeron nowadays. The elven people seem to think Fisilia's turned her back on them for some reason. Not sure why, I'm not a historian.&quot;

Arcalane:<font color="#003399">Close enough, sharpie.

Espada:<font face="Segoe Print" color="#990000">&quot;NO!&quot; &gt;:O

Espada:<font face="Segoe Print" color="#990000">&quot;Fisilia would never turn her back on them!&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">... Is that the god's name please tell me that's the god's name I've forgotten. XD

* Liatai is brick'd.

Blair Mac Cionaodha: <font color="#3200">(( Yeah, that's the gods name. ))

Blair Mac Cionaodha: <font color="#3200">(( Both of them. ))

Espada:<font face="Segoe Print" color="#990000">&quot;Aeron...Aeron was terrible! Disliked by nearly the entire race!&quot;

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">&quot;... Look, once we go to the temple of Bran I'm taking you to the temple of Yasalia. We're close allies with Bran's church, and Giles knows everything.&quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">A lizardman appears.

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">&quot;Perhaps you should speak to an oracle, when we get into town?&quot;

Espada:<font color="#990000">Espada shakes her head violently, clearly unwilling to believe what she is being told.

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">&quot;-- What are all you people doing crowding the medbay, out!&quot; *brick'd*

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">Sau holds up a hand.

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">Whish is covered in burns.

Espada:<font face="Segoe Print" color="#990000">&quot;I cannot believe that the Elves would...would believe Mother of all people would abandon them!&quot;

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">&quot;-- Oh. Let me see that.&quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">Sau lets her see that.

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">&quot;How'd that happen?&quot; Fuss fuss.

Espada:<font face="Segoe Print" color="#990000">&quot;It's...unthinkable!&quot;

Kiera:<font color="#003399">A wizard did it.

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">&quot;Speak to an Oracle.&quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">&quot;They will know.&quot;

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+10 = 3 + 10 = 13&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; Heal check Heal check...

Blair Mac Cionaodha:<font color="#003200">&quot;Oy! Whit's this noo? Somethin' aboot the lawkeeper?&quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">&quot;Not about the hand. The hand was me trying to teach Morit about evocation.&quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">&quot;The boy has a -mean- pitching arm for fire spells...&quot;

Espada:<font face="Segoe Print" color="#990000">&quot;And to turn to Aeron, and dare turn against Bran!&quot;

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">&quot;What is this, party in the medbay time?&quot; =3=;;;;; &quot;The living might be trying to sleep, you know.&quot;

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

Espada:<font color="#990000">Espada is becoming...slightly hysterical. :B

Sulucamas:<font color="#006666">(( Thanks for having me along, all! Happy Friday! ))

Blair Mac Cionaodha:<font color="#003200">Well. Espada, your prayers have been partially answered. An actuall ELF to ask questions of.

Roland:<font color="#006666">((Impossible indeed. Everyone knows only the dead sleep.))

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

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

Blair Mac Cionaodha:<font color="#003200">&quot;Aye?&quot;

Aurixsauriv: <font color="#660033">(( I hear purple is popular. ))

Aurixsauriv: <font color="#660033">(( :V ))

Espada:<font face="Segoe Print" color="#990000">&quot;This...this isn't true, what I've been told! Tell me it's not true!&quot;

Espada:<font face="Segoe Print" color="#990000">&quot;Turning away from Mother, moving against Bran...&quot;

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

Blair Mac Cionaodha whispers: Am I doing a better job with pacing? At least a little?

* Blair Mac Cionaodha blinks again. &quot;Mother?&quot; She asks. Well. She did come in about half way through the conversation.

Roland:<font color="#006666">((Wonder if the fox will become hysterical enough that she gets her tails knotted together.))

Espada:<font face="Segoe Print" color="#990000">&quot;Fisilia! Mother! Goddess of the Sun!&quot;

* Blair Mac Cionaodha blinks, and then a number of pieces snap into place. &quot;Oh!&quot;

Espada:<font face="Segoe Print" color="#990000">&quot;And to turn of Aeron of all people? Never!&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">I somehow read it as Fissilia! Mother Goddess of all the sun!

Espada:<font face="Segoe Print" color="#990000">&quot;And Aeron filled the spot?&quot;

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hm.&quot; That translates into any language.

* Alth wanders off and gets DRUNK, missing the ship's departure.

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">&quot;So. Temples?&quot;

* Kasnok Strautraugvuras is arrested, something about &quot;Impersonating an Inquisitor&quot; or &quot;Behaviour unlawful for an Inquisitor.&quot;

Espada:<font face="Segoe Print" color="#990000">&quot;Yes. I...I need something familiar right now.&quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033"> &quot;Still reccomend seeing an oracle.&quot;

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">&quot;Are you coming too or not, Sau?&quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">&quot;Sure.&quot;

Blair Mac Cionaodha:<font color="#003200">&quot; Fair enaw. Lets gie gonnae 'en.&quot;

Espada:<font face="Segoe Print" color="#990000">&quot;After I see the Church of Bran. Maybe someone can get me in contact with Samara. I..,could really use a friend right now.&quot;

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">And so it comes to pass that a kobold, a wereowl, a wraith, an elf, and a blue fox walk into a temple... sounds like the beginning to a joke.

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">Bran first, then Yasalia's after.

Roland:<font color="#006666">((What are you talking about? It is a joke.))

Ganti:<font color="#003200">... Okay, first problem is that I don't have a map for the temple of Bran. Ah well.

Espada:<font color="#990000">It seems like Espada is just managing to hold it together right now. Too much happening all at once.

Roland:<font color="#006666">((Turns out this whole voyage is a giant acid trip))

Espada:<font color="#990000">We can use our imaginations.

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

* Ganti ponders some. Come ON, brain. Descriptions.

Ganti:<font color="#003200">The temple of Bran is a grand affair, being several times larger then the temple of Yasalia and almost constantly packed with all sorts of people coming and going. Skeletal Warriors stand guard at the doors, giving the party a quick once-over for weapons. Inside, the main hall is dominated by a massive statue of a skeleton wearing a captains jacket, navigators goggles, and a top hat. It's the first comforting thing Espada's seen since the Irregulars left. On the wall behind the statue, their are a number of murils depicting great heros of the faith. The oldest is a skeleton in ornate robes, holding open a book, from which it is reading aloud. The newest is a young woman, a paladin by her armor, standing with her right hand resting on a longsword that has it's tip burried in the ground, a shield with Bran's emblem on it in her left. A mummy accolite is currently tending to the needs of a very distressed human couple, something about their youngest, while a dwarf listens to a series of complaints by a vampire, apparently something to do with a hostile workplace enviroment (A cookie to those who get the referance). All in all, it's a enormous number of undead mingling with the living, far more then you've ever seen in one place and EVERYONE seems perfectly at ease with it.

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">Discworld Sally!

* VAE purrs

Ganti:<font color="#003200">Close, but no.

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

Ganti:<font color="#003200">It's a watchbook before Thud!

VAE:<font color="#000000">Last Elephant? But..

Ganti:<font color="#003200">Nope. Not Last Elephant. I think.

Espada:<font color="#990000">Espada stops before the statue for several moments, and smiles.

VAE:<font color="#000000">The only other one vampires were in a lot but can't recall any particular one .. yeah, nope

Espada:<font face="Segoe Print" color="#990000">&quot;Finally, something familiar.&quot;

Espada:<font color="#990000">She then goes to the oldest of the murals.

<font face="Segoe Print" color="#990000">&quot;I hope to speak to you soon, old friend.&quot;

Ganti:<font color="#003200">VAE: Feet of Clay. There was a running gag with a suicidal vampire. First he was a holy water tester, then a sunglasses tester, then a pencil sharpener...

Espada:<font color="#990000">The fox butts her head gently to the mural, before continuing on.

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">Yep, I remember him.

VAE:<font color="#000000">I just.. Sally was the one working with dwarves in the city watch

Espada:<font color="#990000">Searching for a free acolyte...

Ganti:<font color="#003200">Nah, one of the officers he complained to was a dwarf. Sargant Stronginthearm, I think.

* Serafina Cloudrunner is keeping a careful eye on the newly-freed wraith instead of the fox. &quot;Here we are. Do what you feel you need to do.&quot; ... Is that a small smile? Nah...

* Gonzalez bows slightly to Serafina. &quot;My thanks again, little priestess. Yasalia is lucky to have one such as yourself working for her.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Right... prob'ly recall better than me

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

Gonzalez:<font color="#003200">He floats off into the crowd, quickly finding another wraith who takes him aside.

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">And eats him.

Kiera:<font color="#003399">And that's how baby wraiths are made?

Espada:<font color="#990000">Still looking for a free acolyte...

Roland:<font color="#006666">like mantis they are

Elven Acolyte:<font color="#003200">And you've found one. Her accent is all but undetectable, and she's just finished with her previous task. &quot;Aye? Can I help you?&quot;

Espada:<font color="#990000">Ooh, an elf even!

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">It's Coralline.

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">SOMEONE GET ME THE ARC WELDER.

Arcalane:<font color="#003399">I ain't gonna do no weldin' I'm tired.

Espada:<font face="Segoe Print" color="#990000">&quot;Hello! I was wondering if there was someone herewho could help me contact Samara? I'm an...old friend.&quot; :3

Elven Acolyte:<font color="#003200">&quot;Many have claimed that, I'm afraid. You'll have to wait for him to...&quot; She pauses, and puts on some glasse, which she peers at you through. &quot;... Well. You're of the right age, at least. And a guardian spirit bound to Fisilia? Intresting...&quot;

Espada:<font face="Segoe Print" color="#990000">&quot;You can tell all that, just with those glasses?&quot; :o

Roland:<font color="#006666">carbon dateing specks. They are all the rage.

Espada:<font face="Segoe Print" color="#990000">&quot;Sooooo...?&quot; :3

Elven Acolyte:<font color="#003200">Damn. I lost the link to the D&amp;DMFA wiki.

Elven Acolyte:<font color="#003200">Oh, wait. I think that's it.

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

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">dndmfa.wikia.com

Elven Acolyte:<font color="#003200">&quot;Indeed I can!&quot; She grins. &quot;They're a device Samara unearthed the recipie for a while ago. Pretty much everyone in this temple and the one in Ororm has a set. He's off fighting Nypersul at the moment. Something about... Well. I've been told not to say that beings name, lest I attract their attention.&quot;

* Elven Acolyte looks at you. &quot;You probably know said beings name.&quot;

Espada:<font face="Segoe Print" color="#990000">&quot;Yes, I know it all too well.&quot;

Elven Acolyte:<font color="#003200">&quot;Mm. Well. If you would give me your name, I can put in an urgent request for you.&quot;

Elven Acolyte:<font color="#003200">&quot;It will probably take a month or two, but that is far better then most get.&quot;

Arcalane:<font color="#003399">Look on the bright side, travel times will eat a lot of that up. |3

Espada:<font face="Segoe Print" color="#990000">&quot;Thank you. My name is Espada, but I...was better known by my title; Fisavel.&quot;

Elven Acolyte: <font color="#3200">(( Yeah, I'm going to have to produce a couple of BIG islands and make you trawl through them on foot. With lots of fights and loot. I want you to be fifth level before he drops by. ))

Espada:<font color="#990000">Ooh, fights and loot. :D

Elven Acolyte: <font color="#3200">(( Maybe sixth. ))

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">Great.

Roland:<font color="#006666">((Fighting and loot? Who knew a trip to the church would have such good results.))

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">I can suck at wizardry some more with the additional spell slots. :D

Aurixsauriv: <font color="#660033">(( *brick'd* ))

* Elven Acolyte blinks, then fiddles with a dial on the side of her glasses. &quot;Hm. Definit traces of a divine spark... And you match the physical description... and lasting wounds consistant with fighting The Great Enemy...&quot;

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

Espada:<font face="Segoe Print" color="#990000">&quot;You...you can see it? My...my Spark?&quot;

Espada:<font face="Segoe Print" color="#990000">&quot;It's...still there?&quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">It's there...and there...and there.

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">*brick'd again!*

Elven Acolyte:<font color="#003200">&quot;Of course not! That would blind any mortal! Well, except Samara.&quot;

Elven Acolyte:<font color="#003200">&quot;And we're REALLY not sure if he's still a mortal or advanced beyond that.&quot;

Aurixsauriv: <font color="#660033">(( Is he like the Chuck Norris of this planet or something? ))

Elven Acolyte: <font color="#3200">(( Yes. ))

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

Espada:<font face="Segoe Print" color="#990000">&quot;I...was hoping. I-I can't...feel it anymore.&quot;

Elven Acolyte: <font color="#3200">(( Only while Chuck Norris facts are wishful thinking, Samara The Eternal facts are TRUE. ))

Espada:<font face="Segoe Print" color="#990000"> &quot;It's...gone...&quot;

Meany:<font color="#660033">Oh, sudden rememberance.

Meany:<font color="#660033">Did you ever add Nanbi to the Elven pantheon spammed at newbies? :v

Elven Acolyte:<font color="#003200">&quot;I can tell that you were touched by one. And that there MIGHT be the remanents of one still in you... that could be re-ignited.&quot;

Elven Acolyte: <font color="#3200">(( Ayup. Pretty sure she's on the wiki. ))

Meany:<font color="#660033">There's a wiki?

Elven Acolyte:<font color="#003200">http://dndmfa.wikia.com/wiki/Skylands_Info_Page]

Elven Acolyte:<font color="#003200">Er. http://dndmfa.wikia.com/wiki/Skylands_Info_Page

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">I allowed Ganti to use my disused one

Espada:<font face="Segoe Print" color="#990000">&quot;...So...I could get it back?&quot;

Elven Acolyte:<font color="#003200">&quot;But for safety reasons, these glasses can't show an actual Divine Spark. And yes, you could... if it's still in you.&quot;

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

Espada:<font color="#990000">You get a lickinz. :3

Elven Acolyte:<font color="#003200">Gack! Not every day you get licked by a possible demigod.

Espada:<font color="#990000">You should feel honored. :B

Glitch:<font color="#000000">touched by an angeeeeeel~

Elven Acolyte:<font color="#003200">&quot;Is there anything else I can do for you? Cure the young ladies avianthropy, perhaps? Or reccomend a good book for the wizard?&quot;

Espada:<font face="Segoe Print" color="#990000">&quot;Well, you would have to ask the lady herself about that, but I do believe the wizard would appreciate a good book.&quot; :3

Elven Acolyte: <font color="#3200">(( Lycanthropy is, almost literally 'wolf-person'. Avianthropy, therefor, is 'bird-person'. ))

Espada:<font color="#990000">x3

Espada:<font face="Segoe Print" color="#990000">&quot;Hey, Saur! You interested in a new book?&quot; :3

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">&quot;Ayup. =v=&quot;

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">&quot;-- What?! I mean -- I'm not a --&quot; Nervous laughter -- then &quot;Yasalia's sextant there are feathers showing aren't there, am I sprouting feathers -- I'm --!&quot; FLEE!

Serafina Cloudrunner: <font color="#0">(( http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_407.php ))

Espada:<font color="#990000">Espada can't help but chuckle at Sera's reaction. x3

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Even though Espada has never seen Sera transform? :P

Elven Acolyte:<font color="#003200">&quot;Well. We received an extra copy of...&quot; She blinks at the poor little halfling. &quot;Um. My word.&quot; She reaches out and grabs Serafina. &quot;If my glasses can detect the remanents of a Divine Spark in your companion there, they most certainly can detect something that minor.&quot;

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">Halfling flailing commences.

Roland:<font color="#006666">((No Escaping!))

Elven Acolyte:<font color="#003200">&quot;Calm Down please. You're NOT transforming.&quot;

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">=v=;;;;; &quot;Please put me down.&quot;

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">&quot;... What's this about remnants?&quot;

Espada:<font face="Segoe Print" color="#990000">&quot;So, you're a Were, huh? That explains the smell.&quot; :B

Roland:<font color="#006666">((Thats not a nice thing to say to a lady, for shame.))

Espada:<font face="Segoe Print" color="#990000">&quot;The...remnants of my Spark. I had thought it gone, ripped from me long ago by...The Enemy. But, though I can no longer feel it, something apparently remains. I may even be able to rekindle it, with time.&quot;

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">&quot;I see Bran's folk don't believe in patient confidentiality.&quot; =v=#

RAM:<font color="#990000">http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_410.php

* Elven Acolyte blinks. &quot;I...&quot; She checks. Ayup. Sera's feet are off the floor. She gets lowered to the ground. &quot;Sorry about that. Anyway, Divine Sparks... Well. I don't know all the details, but they can ocasionally be damaged or stolen. Or people can act as hosts for them in an emergancy. Any of the above leaves remanants behind. Your... friend here has some remanants. It is entierly possible she is who she claims to be. Our records DO indicate that she was very badly injured during a fight with... The Great Enemy.&quot;

RAM:<font color="#990000">I now read Dan's lines in Geroge Takei's voice. :B

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+6 = 18 + 6 = 24&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; Knowledge (religion) check. Great Enemy?

Elven Acolyte:<font color="#003200">&quot;... I'm not a doctor. Not really. I can cast healing spells, but that's not the same thing.&quot;

Elven Acolyte whispers: You have no idea. Might be something to do with the broodspawn, though. Or the Dead Sun. Or something.

Elven Acolyte whispers: or maybe even that wierd language the Irregulars were using to talk to Espada. Or all of the above.

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">&quot;Well, you might want to consider that some people --&quot; She looks around, then lowers her voice. &quot; Some people might not want a whole temple to know they're diseased. &quot; :|

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">&quot;...Even when she offered to cure you here and now? =w=;&quot;

Elven Acolyte:<font color="#003200"> &quot;Right, sorry. Not like anyone here cares. A number of our adepts carry something far worse then mere Avianthropy. You ever seen what Mummy Rot does to it's victems? Not pretty.&quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033"> &quot;Is that a gelatinous cube?&quot; :v

Espada:<font face="Segoe Print" color="#990000"> &quot;Followers of Bran have always been very tolerant and accepting.&quot;

* Elven Acolyte looks over her shoulder. &quot;No, no gelatinous cube.&quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033"> &quot;Coulda sworn...&quot;

* Serafina Cloudrunner adjusts her poncho. &quot;... I don't know yet. I feel like Yasalia's trying to give me a sign, but I don't know what it is.&quot; :|

Elven Acolyte:<font color="#003200"> &quot;Not unless Samara's started fighting Zargon again. Unlikely, we destroyed the horn last time...&quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">'Stop walking around with one hit dice and get cured, woman?!'

Aurixsauriv: <font color="#660033">(( *brick'd thrice!* ))

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">I'd still need all that EXP! And it's TWO hit dice! *brick'd*

Elven Acolyte:<font color="#003200">&quot;Very well. The offer stands until you are sure what said sign is.&quot;

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">&quot;At the moment, my best guess is 'no one is immune from the deities' senses of humor,' but thanks.&quot; =v=;

Elven Acolyte:<font color="#003200">&quot;We have some people who might be able to help you interprite that sign, but... they tend to have many different opinions.&quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">&quot;It could be worse.&quot;

Espada:<font face="Segoe Print" color="#990000">&quot;Ah, Yasalia does have a good sense of humor.&quot; x3

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">&quot;I keep saying you guys should talk to an oracle. :V&quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">&quot;They help with so much of this.&quot;

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">&quot; Freakin' blue foxes. &quot; &gt;:\

* Elven Acolyte seems to droop slightly. &quot;... And we're not entierly certain they're sane.&quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">&quot;Oh well.&quot;

Roland:<font color="#006666">((What are you talking about! insane oracles are the best kind! Ahh the stories they tell.))

Espada:<font face="Segoe Print" color="#990000">&quot;I will be in contact with Samara soon, adn I just learned that I can regain my Sparks. I'm feeling much better now.&quot; :3

Espada:<font color="#990000">*And, spark

Meany:<font color="#660033">&quot;Do you mind? I'm busy doing the fishstick. It's a very difficult state of mind!&quot;

Elven Acolyte:<font color="#003200">&quot;Anyway, as I was saying, with that printing press we just acquired we have... Well. Samara has somewhat made a few beggining primers for wizardry. I'm told they're actually fairly confusing, but have good advice burried in them somewhere. I don't exactly want to speak ill of him, but he's... not a good teacher.&quot;

Elven Acolyte:<font color="#003200">&quot;Or author.&quot;

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

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">&quot;Hmm.&quot;

Espada:<font face="Segoe Print" color="#990000">&quot;How much for them?&quot; :.

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">&quot;I could look one over, and review it.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">((Or Writers Association chairman))

* VAE goes shower, be back

Elven Acolyte:<font color="#003200">&quot;Would you?&quot; She seems much happier. &quot;Wait here. I'll have a copy for you shortly. Bring it back when you finish the revisions.&quot; She pauses. &quot;... And bring back a separate book with said revisions compleated, if you would.&quot; She rushes off.

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">Sau opens a vial of ink.

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

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">&quot;Methinks I'm going to need -much more red ink-.&quot;

Espada:<font face="Segoe Print" color="#990000">&quot;You believe me now, Sera?&quot; :3

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

Espada:<font face="Segoe Print" color="#990000">&gt;:/

* Elven Acolyte is back shortly, handing Saur a book bound in leather. It's actually fairly simple, for all the fuss that has been made over this Samara fellow...

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">&quot;Look, say whatever you want, but the fact remains, you were sealed away. People don't just seal away demigods. Especially benevolent ones. Usually it's tricksters, or the vile.&quot;

Espada:<font face="Segoe Print" color="#990000">&quot;She just proved it!&quot; &gt;:|

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">&quot;So I'll wait until I see more proof, thanks.&quot;

* Aurixsauriv sits down, starts reading, and dips a quill into some red ink.

Espada:<font face="Segoe Print" color="#990000">&quot;I was injured! Mother had no choice but to seal me away so I could heal!&quot; &gt;:O

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

Elven Acolyte:<font color="#003200">&quot;Hm? Who was sealed away?

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">&quot;Hmm. This could use further explaining, that's an archaic term...&quot;

Espada:<font face="Segoe Print" color="#990000">&quot;I was, for four thousand years.&quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">&quot;That theory hasn't been confirmed independently yet, shouldn't be in an official publication...&quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">&quot;This diagram is a wee bit too complex for beginners.&quot;

Elven Acolyte:<font color="#003200">&quot;Okay... Anyway, the message has been sent off. Lord Samara should be getting it sometime next week, but even then it'll be a while before he can act on it.&quot;

Elven Acolyte: <font color="#3200">(( You could have taken twenty, by the way. ))

Aurixsauriv: <font color="#660033">(( FCK ))

Arcalane: <font color="#3399">(( Oh like it matters that much XP ))

Espada:<font face="Segoe Print" color="#990000">&quot;That is more than enough, thank you. It will be good to see him again.&quot; :3

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">&quot;...okay, now this will just tempt newbies to try it without the safety precautions, and cause someone to break their back...&quot;

Aurixsauriv: <font color="#660033">(( Btw. Don't ever try to jump from a roof onto a giant rubber ball. ))

Elven Acolyte: <font color="#3200">(( Eh, it's only a ten point difference on a DC of 15. ))

Aurixsauriv: <font color="#660033">(( It only ends in girlish screaming in ambulances. ))

Elven Acolyte: <font color="#3200">(( Wasn't planing on it... Why do you say that? Who did it? ))

Aurixsauriv: <font color="#660033">(( It was on the 'Fails of the Year' montage from the new year memebase thing. ))

Aurixsauriv: <font color="#660033">(( If you have bandwidth, I can link it. ))

Aurixsauriv: <font color="#660033">(( Short story, it rolled out from under him as he landed on it. ))

Aurixsauriv: <font color="#660033">(( Landed on his ass, broke his back. ))

Arcalane: <font color="#3399">(( ouch ))

Aurixsauriv: <font color="#660033">(( It was funny and horrifying to watch. ))

Elven Acolyte: <font color="#3200">(( Yeah, not good. ))

Roland:<font color="#006666">((Lucky hes not in the darwin awards.))

* Kiera snores loudly. Bwah?

Roland:<font color="#006666">Sau for making Wizardy sound like a real thing I want to learn

Meany:<font color="#660033">Kiera for Cattiness, and Jerky!

Meany:<font color="#660033">Roland for Maximum Snark.

Arcalane:<font color="#003399">sorry I've been a bit tired and exhausted the last few session times. sleep schedule is being unstable. XP

Roland:<font color="#006666">OOC snark, does that count?

Ganti:<font color="#003200">I'm sorry to hear that.

Meany:<font color="#660033">I recall some IC snark.

Ganti:<font color="#003200">Just you wait until Gavin gets going...

Liatai:<font color="#000000">I kind of enjoyed those Sera moments. &quot;So we're all suddenly okay with having this blue fox around that claims to be a demigoddess like it was no big deal? HAS THE WORLD GONE MAD OR HAVE I.&quot; :B

Roland:<font color="#006666">ohh, does I get snarking partner soon?

Meany:<font color="#660033">That would be what familiars are for.

Meany:<font color="#660033">Btw.

Ganti:<font color="#003200">Nah, wrong game.

Meany:<font color="#660033">If you do want one, there is a feat to let you get an Animal Companion instead.

Meany:<font color="#660033">Which is like.

Meany:<font color="#660033">Infinity times better.

Roland:<font color="#006666">Honestly no idea what a Roland familiar would be/act like

Roland:<font color="#006666">Altho Many a meal would probably be stolen

Ganti whispers: Am I doing a better job keeping your interest currently? Any more advice you can give? Was the pacing any better at all this time?

Meany:<font color="#660033">I recall Frisk.

Meany:<font color="#660033">And his love of horse meat pies.

Ganti:<font color="#003200">Okay, anything else?

Arcalane:<font color="#003399">if in doubt, go with a ferret, weasel, or similar. plucky weasel mascots!

Meany:<font color="#660033">Nada.

Arcalane:<font color="#003399">I got nothin' that ain't been said already

RAM:<font color="#990000">I'm good.

Meany:<font color="#660033">Horse meat is also awesome, and you should try some from your local butcher, if they have it.

Meany:<font color="#660033">:U

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

You whisper to Ganti: You're doing better. :3

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

Ganti:<font color="#003200">And gone!

Ganti whispers: Excelnt!

Ganti:<font color="#003200">This sessions Noms: Sau: 4 Sera: 6 Roland: 1 Kiera: 3 &#16;Espada: 8 Blair: 1 GM noms: Sau: Teaching and Editing! Most Noms prize goes to... Espda!

Meany:<font color="#660033">Ganti, IRC me the magic colors again? ^^;

Ganti:<font color="#003200">Meany: Sure thing!

Espada:<font color="#990000">\o/

* VAE back

Meany:<font color="#660033">Yo.

Ganti:<font color="#003200">Current Noms: AP: Sau: 24 Sera: 29 Roland:15 Kiera: 15 Espada:11 Blair: 4 Gomez?: 1 Gonzolez?!: 1 Dr. Seamus:6 Kasnok:22 Althilmil:27

Ganti:<font color="#003200">Er, AP.

Ganti:<font color="#003200">not noms.

Ganti:<font color="#003200">I must admit, I was kinda hoping for Morit to get a nom or two.

Arcalane:<font color="#003399">your NPCs get enough as-is XP

Ganti:<font color="#003200">Heyo VAE. We're starting to fade, so we're calling it.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">I'll throw one his way retroactively. :3

Meany:<font color="#660033">I didn't think moar npc noms was something to do.

Ganti:<font color="#003200">It can be.

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">Noms generally do get called at the end.

* Ganti is using them as a bit of a mesuring stick to determine if his NPC's are actually engaging characters...

RAM:<font color="#990000">That was fun.

Ganti:<font color="#003200">Which, for the most part, they seem to be.

Arcalane:<font color="#003399">well it's not like they're going to get to use AP too often unless they're a major part of the party or related to it somehow. like the Captain can feasibly AP important piloting rolls.

RAM:<font color="#990000">Got to play a lot of emotions with Espada.

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

Meany:<font color="#660033">I got to flex teaching muscles.

RAM:<font color="#990000">Seriously, this whole session was an emotional rollercoaster for her.

Meany:<font color="#660033">If only I had pateince irl.

Meany:<font color="#660033">And didn't hate children passionately.

Morit:<font color="#003200">This fellow here is just about the only one who's likely to stick with your party.

Arcalane:<font color="#003399">and he has a decidedly untrustworthy array of facial hair

Meany:<font color="#660033">Hmm.

Arcalane:<font color="#003399"><i>shenanigans

</i> Meany:<font color="#660033">And his personality is meek. :B

Ganti:<font color="#003200">On the other hand, I think that Blair's the most fun to play.

Ganti:<font color="#003200">Eh, I'm still attempting to get a feel for him, really.

Meany:<font color="#660033">It'll be fun when he can transmute earth to mud.

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

Meany:<font color="#660033">And then earth to mud.

VAE:<font color="#000000">There it is! :3

Ganti:<font color="#003200">Morit, not Blair.

Roland:<font color="#006666">bah, its not fun till its stone to lava. Thats the fun stuff.

Meany:<font color="#660033">Trap a charging knight in mud, then in earth.

Arcalane:<font color="#003399">transmute ashes to ashes, dust to dust. :v

Meany:<font color="#660033">&quot;Oh, I'm sorry. Were you trying to kill me? Golly. It looks like those jaguars over there noticed, and are coming this way. I better go.&quot;

Meany:<font color="#660033">&quot;...Wait, you're not going to just leave me here, are you? Please! I'm sorry! NO, NOT THE FACE!&quot;

Sharpshot4321:<font color="#006666">thats your way. My way is, ohh charging knight. AHH! GAHHHH *gurgle gurgle melt*

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

Meany:<font color="#660033">You like to watch them die.

Meany:<font color="#660033">I like to hear them die.

Espada:<font color="#990000">Wall of Blades.

Meany:<font color="#660033">Different tastes.

Espada:<font color="#990000">Mountain Hammer.

Arcalane:<font color="#003399">Melf's Acid Trip.

Sharpshot4321:<font color="#006666">people scream in lava. just not for long :D

Arcalane:<font color="#003399">'nuff sed.

Ganti:<font color="#003200">Lia, I understand you're the person to talk to for photo manipulations.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Lia can do quite a lot, true

Liatai:<font color="#000000">I'm not that good at them. ^^;

VAE:<font color="#000000">I can handle some stuff to

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">Or rather, could a few aeons ago

Ganti:<font color="#003200">I've got a few jobs along those lines in the pipes. Most of it's pretty basic.

VAE:<font color="#000000">you got some *what*

Ganti:<font color="#003200">Some of it... is probably basic, I just have no idea how to do it.

Ganti:<font color="#003200">Photo manipulations.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Okay, what do you need

Ganti:<font color="#003200">One guy's clothes recolored, and... One dose of spoilers.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Okay, recolouring is something Lia I know can do, and I can't recall how.

Ganti:<font color="#003200">Anyway, I'll see you in the IRC. RAM, if you could get me a copy of your log, I'll be appriciative.

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

</i> Espada:<font color="#990000">...How do I do that? :B

RAM:<font color="#990000">Oh, there it is.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Uh, save the log and slap it on swap?

RAM:<font color="#990000">I meant how do I save the log. I've never done so before. :B

Meany:<font color="#660033">Edit, preferences, applications.

Meany:<font color="#660033">DO NOT CHANGE LOG DESTINATION.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">... orrrrrr just click File &gt; Save Chat Log History. :B

Meany:<font color="#660033">That too. =3=

Meany:<font color="#660033">But this is autologging.

RAM:<font color="#990000">Like I just did. :B

Meany:<font color="#660033">Which is fun.

RAM:<font color="#990000">Okay, anyone need the server still?

Meany:<font color="#660033">Nope, I'm good.
