SongstressEnlil: (Blargh)
SongstressEnlil: (Can't keep two chats going)
XStrike8: (Oh.)
FFFan80: (Too much lag, right?)
Arch mage144: (OK, I've got everyone's sheets up, my notes are all together, etc...)
XStrike8: (Hmmm)
XStrike8: (RETSU ARPEEING.)
Jak Snide: (Tonight, your GM is Arch mage144)

Arch mage144: (THERE you are.)
Arch mage144: OK. Tonight, I shall be assisted by the lovely co-GM, Jak Snide!
XStrike8: (Oh, really? *stabbers out of love.)
Arch mage144: Jak is going to handle combat rolls and whatnot for me, among other things.
CaptainPervy: (But watch me lag out fifty times, since this is a plotted RP*
Arch mage144: Everybody clap for Mr. Snide!
FFFan80: ...so....
T3chn0Namagomi: (Der yayering.)
dragonclawsedw: *claps* Wooo!
FFFan80: <_< ...he'll be your Vanna White, then? >:D *HIDES*
CaptainPervy: *Applauds!*
XStrike8: (Will he handle the leers of the GM's fanboys, Brian?)
CaptainPervy: *YAY LAG!*
Arch mage144: NO. The GM gets all of those.
CaptainPervy: *Tests*
CaptainPervy: *Tests again*
CaptainPervy: *Better*
Arch mage144: Anyway. We're gonna start this one off fairly simple--any meeting place in Doma that the four of you could reasonably "hook up," so to speak.
Arch mage144: Beyond that...I'm not saying anything. ^_^
CaptainPervy: *Enlil can be found anywhere save the castle*
T3chn0Namagomi: Kamos won't enter the castle unless he has to.
XStrike8: Damian might be found in the castle, likely not. >:p
FFFan80: Dan's usually trying to help out around Doma, so he's flexible.
Arch mage144: ...then don't be in the castle. >_>;
XStrike8: So, anyone ofr the Jade Dragon? >;p
Arch mage144: I can always throw you all in the JD.
CaptainPervy: *Yeah works*
Arch mage144: OK then...from simple beginnings grow grander things...let's begin!
Arch mage144: <RP! THE GM!>
CaptainPervy: (Let me apologize in advance for lagginf out on you all)
CaptainPervy: <Enlil>
FFFan80: <Daniel>
Arch mage144: (I thought you were using PERVY!?)
XStrike8: <Damian>
XStrike8: (Er? o.o;;; )
Arch mage144: (Oh well, don't care. Doesn't matter.)
T3chn0Namagomi: <Kamos, the homophobe!>
CaptainPervy: (Ummm... No, as he isn currently in Two separate PS Rps)
Arch mage144: (Sorry, didn't know, doesn't matter, carry on.)
CaptainPervy: (Righto!)
FFFan80: -.- *sipping some tea at a table*
FFFan80: <\/<++ ...figures he'd be late again... I don't know why I bother sometimes >.<
T3chn0Namagomi: (Uhh...where is this, Dave?)
Arch mage144: *it's a normal night in the Jade Dragon...the atmosphere is quiet, to say the least, unlike the usual rowdiness, but things are generally the same, drinks are being served, food is being eaten, and goblins are squabbling in the back
Arch mage144: *
CaptainPervy: *Walks in, looking rather exhausted.*
Arch mage144: (Jade Dragon.)
CaptainPervy: *Looks around for Will*
T3chn0Namagomi: *walks in, looking bored*
XStrike8: *is sipping on hot tea in the back of the inn*
FFFan80: ONE day during the week to sit and talk about stuff as brothers, is that really so hard? v.v;
XStrike8: IM: You know, it's nice to not have anything to do for once.... no people trying to kill you... no looking into strange occurances...
FFFan80: >.> *sigh*... maybe I outta go see if they need anything done at the castle...
T3chn0Namagomi: Yeah. Like having Ash killed.
CaptainPervy: *Presumably not seeing him, she sees Dan instead*
CaptainPervy: *And hears Kamos*
CaptainPervy: *And sighs*
FFFan80: .......*SIGH*
XStrike8: IM: No money, either. I mean, not that you care about that in your Overwhelming comfort. Thank you. I mean, I REALLY wanted a dose of reality to invade my dream. e.e;;;
FFFan80: -_-;; ...hello Kamos.
XStrike8: IM: ^-^ No problem. ANytime.
CaptainPervy: Hello Daniel.^_^
FFFan80: o.o
FFFan80: Enlil?
XStrike8: >.>
CaptainPervy: *Pulls up a seat by his table*
XStrike8: Not this again, Sir Kamos.
FFFan80: Hello. ^_^
CaptainPervy: How has Stephan been lately?
FFFan80: .....
FFFan80: -_-; ...late.
FFFan80: Uh... care for some mildly cold tea? ^_^;
T3chn0Namagomi: Well, seriously. He's a threat to my profession.
XStrike8: *sigh* I suppose next you'll tell me he's a public menace. e.e
T3chn0Namagomi: No.
T3chn0Namagomi: He really is a threat to my profession, though.
XStrike8: Yes yes, I heard that.
XStrike8: IM: Now if only the peace would last longer before the ranting begins.
Arch mage144: *a rather violent knocking is heard at the door of the inn, and the portal bursts open*
T3chn0Namagomi: He's one of those well-known hero-types, I'm a mercenary.
FFFan80: O_O;
XStrike8: IM: Whatever happened to the whole "I like Life" bit, eh? Oh, shut up.
XStrike8: <.<
CaptainPervy has left the room.
Arch mage144: *standing in the doorway is a rather panicky looking man*
T3chn0Namagomi: ....*turns around to the door*
XStrike8: Umm, sir...
FFFan80: (ack)
XStrike8: Might I point out that Miss Dia doesn't take kindly to her doors being broken down.
XStrike8: >.>
Arch mage144: (...*waits*)
CaptainPervy has entered the room.
Arch mage144: (ONE SEC)
XStrike8: (WB)
T3chn0Namagomi: Eep....don't mention Dia...
CaptainPervy: (What'd I miss? -_-)
T3chn0Namagomi: ....she scares me.
CaptainPervy: (Ah fuck...)
FFFan80: (Net troubles, man? o.o; )
Arch mage144: (OK. Sorry.)
XStrike8: That's the point, isn't it? o.o
Arch mage144: (HANG ON)
XStrike8: (Hope it gets better, Pervy. Stupid ISPs.)
CaptainPervy: (Pause; gotta restart >_<)
CaptainPervy has left the room.
dragonclawsedw: (o.O; Jeeze...)
T3chn0Namagomi: (-.-;;)
T3chn0Namagomi: (Goddamn smilies)

T3chn0Namagomi: (How do you do that?)
dragonclawsedw: (In preferances somewhere)
XStrike8: (Preferences, IM/Chat, Disable Graphical Smilies)

THENinjaRabbi: (sure, why not?)
Arch mage144: (OK.)
FFFan80: 6.6 *still drinking his tea*
Arch mage144: *the rather panicky man looks around frantically*
Arch mage144: M...m...
T3chn0Namagomi: ....what the hell do you want?
XStrike8: Hmm? o.o
THENinjaRabbi: *was sitting at a table, sipping some tea*
Arch mage144: ...mmm...
FFFan80: <.<?
XStrike8: -.o *takes a sip at his own tea, calmly*
Arch mage144: Monsters on the village outskirts!
FFFan80: O_@
THENinjaRabbi: <_<?
XStrike8: WHAT? O.o
T3chn0Namagomi: Oh, great.
T3chn0Namagomi: Another generic monster attack.
Arch mage144: They attacked an outlying farm...there's a raiding party of them, or something...
THENinjaRabbi: IM: Malachias?
T3chn0Namagomi: Well, time to get to work...
THENinjaRabbi: IM: No....he's dead.
T3chn0Namagomi: Hmm....
FFFan80: o.o; *gets up and heads over*
XStrike8: IM: BOOM. DOwn in flames. Dammit. -.-;;;
FFFan80: <.< Did you see what attacked?
XStrike8: *gets up* Where exactly is this coming from?
Arch mage144: They're...they've got tails...fangs...bloodred eyes...black cloaks...they breathe fire!
THENinjaRabbi: *pays attention, not speaking*
THENinjaRabbi: *jumps up* DEMONS? O_O
T3chn0Namagomi: ....I have no idea what the hell they are, but....
dragonclawsedw has entered the room.
XStrike8: Hmm...
T3chn0Namagomi: It's time for me to go to work, it seems.
XStrike8: Not dragons, I'm sure.
Arch mage144: You've got to do something! Someone! Anyone!
Arch mage144: There have to be some adventurers or mercenaries in here, it's a bar for crying out loud...
THENinjaRabbi: *runs up* If it's demons...I'll help.
T3chn0Namagomi: *grasps his banded wrist, as a red flash emits from the ruby on the armlet*
FFFan80: o.o Me too!
Arch mage144: (Chimeric form?)
T3chn0Namagomi: (Yup)
FFFan80: >.o; *winces at flash*
XStrike8: Now, Sir Kamos, let's not jump to conclusions...
XStrike8: >.o;;; IM: Bright. Hmm... what's this? o.o
T3chn0Namagomi: *staggers over in pain as wings and a tail burst from his body*
FFFan80: o_o;;; IM: ...I don't think I'll ever get used to that... >_>;;
T3chn0Namagomi: *horns grow from his head, and his skin darkens*
FFFan80: IM: ...bah, my wings are cooler ^_^
THENinjaRabbi: *watches Kamos strangely* o_o
FFFan80: IM: ...NO ONE CARES.
T3chn0Namagomi: *another red flash concludes the transformation, as his skin darkens slightly, and he stands up again*
Arch mage144: ......d....
Arch mage144: ...d...d..ddd...
XStrike8: Now if you're quite finished....
XStrike8: e.e Don't say it, Sir.
XStrike8: He is NOT A Demon.
FFFan80: ...*facepalms* Kamos...
XStrike8: >.> Although some would beg to differ...
T3chn0Namagomi: I am a chimera, damnit.
THENinjaRabbi: ...er....
Arch mage144: .......chimera...
Arch mage144: Still a monster...*wary*
FFFan80: e.e;;; ...I don't think transforming in front of a frightened person is too smart.
Arch mage144: ...eyes...tail...horns...
Arch mage144: *shivering*
FFFan80: <.<;;; Sir, it's Ok. ^_^;; *pats shoulder* He won't hurt you.
T3chn0Namagomi: ...so? It's not like I'm going to kill you, damnit.
FFFan80: >_> ~_~;
XStrike8: Now, Sir... which direction is this so called band of monsters at, anyways?
Arch mage144: ...o...okay...
dragonclawsedw: Goblins: *stare at Kamos for a moment, then go about their business*
Arch mage144: Just to the north, on the outskirts. I'd rouse the town guard, but...I'm sure they've got enough problems...
XStrike8: IM: Hmph. I bet it's a wolf or something. Wouldn'T YOU Like to know. Must you always do this?
Arch mage144: ...they're so slow anyway...
Arch mage144: *runs out into the street and points* That way!
T3chn0Namagomi: Alright.
FFFan80: o.o;;; Woah, wait for us sir! *chases after*
THENinjaRabbi: *looks for a second, then begins to run in that direction*
XStrike8: *follows*
T3chn0Namagomi: *walks out, jumps into the air, and flies in that direction*
XStrike8: *looks at the people following* IM: Hmm... more people from that inn are crazy. Just like you, Damian. Just like you.
FFFan80: 9.9; *looks up and sighs again* -_-;; IM: Just wait, I'll have to heal him when the villagers try to shoot the 'demon' out of the sky...
Arch mage144: (one sec, benkui)
FFFan80: IM: ...or you could just let him suffer, I like that option ^_^
FFFan80: e.e;
XStrike8: IM: Well, I suppose. hehehe. And you know it.
Arch mage144: *after a short distance, the party notes a burning farmhouse on the village outskirts*
THENinjaRabbi: Fire. Just like him. e_e
FFFan80: O_O;;; Holy Ishtar!
Arch mage144: *a group of black cloaked creatures are setting the property ablaze, the flames roaring in the night sky*
XStrike8: Wonderful.
XStrike8: Wait.. e.e What're those?
FFFan80: ...HEY!!?!?!
FFFan80: o\/o WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING TO THAT BUILDING!?
Arch mage144: *the creatures suddenly turn to focus on Dan, hissing*
T3chn0Namagomi: What the hell are they?
FFFan80: .......
FFFan80: O_@ ....eep.
T3chn0Namagomi: *slows to a hover*
XStrike8: If you could step away from the building, please.
Arch mage144: *the paladin can catch a glimpse of blood red eyes beneath the cloaks*
FFFan80: ...uh.... I..*gulp*... don't think they're human... o_o;;
Arch mage144: *black and midnight blue scaled tails sweep out from underneath the garments*
XStrike8: That seems fairly obvious. e.e;;;
THENinjaRabbi: *draws his sword*
Arch mage144: *the three figures hiss, almost in unison*
XStrike8: Now. *to the things* Could you please stop destroying this building, please.
XStrike8: >.>
THENinjaRabbi: I think they're demons. Maybe.
FFFan80: o.o Um... what he said ^_^;
Arch mage144: *one of them steps forward, and stops hissing suddenly...*
XStrike8: I'd rather not find out so quickly.
FFFan80: o_o;;;
XStrike8: Hmm? o.o
Arch mage144: *it appears to be studying Damian for a moment*
T3chn0Namagomi: I think we should just kill them.
XStrike8: -.o
Arch mage144: ...NO.
FFFan80: >_> *sweatdrop*
XStrike8: *stands there calmly*
FFFan80: o.o -.-
XStrike8: That's right Ka....
Arch mage144: ...go...away.
XStrike8: Hello. o.o
T3chn0Namagomi: You're a pyromaniac
XStrike8: Well, might I ask what you're doing here?
Arch mage144: We...are...bussssy.
THENinjaRabbi: ...busy burning down houses?
FFFan80: Uh...w...w *gulp* ...we can't.
Arch mage144: Yesssss.
FFFan80: o\/o;; ..w...why are you doing this?
XStrike8: Busy with what? *glares at Squintz*
XStrike8: Why?
Arch mage144: Becaussse.
THENinjaRabbi: ...
XStrike8: ...
Arch mage144: It issss...our...our...orderssss.
T3chn0Namagomi: ...so?
T3chn0Namagomi: let's kill them.
XStrike8: Back Off, Sir Kamos. e.e
T3chn0Namagomi: You should KNOW that they WON'T TALK
T3chn0Namagomi: ...
FFFan80: >\/> *glares* We should at least TRY...
XStrike8: *turns back to the hooded figure* Ignore our loud friend.
T3chn0Namagomi: Why try when it's futile?
FFFan80: Who told you to do this? Why attack a small village like this?
XStrike8: Now may I ask whose orders are these?
THENinjaRabbi: IM: *starts thinking of battle plans*
T3chn0Namagomi: IM: These guys are going to get themselves killed trying to negotiate....
T3chn0Namagomi: Damnit, don't you know that THEY WON'T TALK, you MORONS?!?!
Arch mage144: Sssss...SSSHUT UP!

T3chn0Namagomi: That's it!
Arch mage144: We sssshall...burn you...assss well...
XStrike8: e.e
FFFan80: <\/< IM: There has to be a reason for this... we need to find out who did it and why...
THENinjaRabbi: ....well, damn.
FFFan80: o_o;
T3chn0Namagomi: *gets into a battle stance*
XStrike8: Now that's not a very neighborly thing to say.
THENinjaRabbi: ..I don't think they're the kind, empathetic type.
FFFan80: o\/o;; *gets his staff ready* W...we're not going to let you burn down this village...
XStrike8: So I've noticed. e.e
XStrike8: In fact, I think we would rather you leave.
T3chn0Namagomi: Let's just kill the retards!
Arch mage144: Ssss...sssilence...! ....head...
T3chn0Namagomi: Hell, I'll do it first!
FFFan80: .....?
XStrike8: *very dryly* You first, Kamos.
FFFan80: o.o? IM: ...something seems... odd here...
T3chn0Namagomi: *attempts to position himself where he can hit more than one of the...creatures...with something*
Arch mage144: ...NO! BURNING SSSSTOP PAIN!
XStrike8: o.o
FFFan80: o.o;;
THENinjaRabbi: ....what was that?
FFFan80: ...what?
Arch mage144: *without warning, the lead creature leaps at Damian*
XStrike8: IM: Nakibe!! On it. *checks auras*

Arch mage144: *the beast opens fire on Damian...literally, opening its maw, revealing a row of pearly white teeth, a stark contrast with its black scales*
Arch mage144: *a jet of midnight flames erupt towards the martial artist*
FFFan80: O_@;
THENinjaRabbi: woah...
THENinjaRabbi: IM: What kind of beasts are these?
FFFan80: IM: Weee, fire. ^_^
XStrike8: GAAAH... >.<;;; *puts his hands up to block*
XStrike8: IM: Too... Fast..
Jak Snide: *The flames lap aroun Damian, obscuring him from the vision of others...*
Jak Snide: *...and as they die out, he stands there, unharmed by them, if feeling a little cold*
FFFan80: ......?
XStrike8: -.O Shit.
FFFan80: o_o; IM: ...what the hell?
Arch mage144: *the creature hisses loudly*
T3chn0Namagomi: ....Nice....

T3chn0Namagomi: Impressive.
Arch mage144: *hissing*
XStrike8: I... seem fine... o.o
THENinjaRabbi: IM: Fire...But that doesn't HAVE to be innate...
THENinjaRabbi: IM: They could simply like to burn stuff...like Dhargun.
Jak Snide: (Damian's turn)
XStrike8: And now I should show you MY trick. e.e
XStrike8: Now you see me...*uses Creeping Darkness*
FFFan80: <.< *watches*
Jak Snide: *Damian's form darkens...and begins to thin, becoming less and less material, or so it seems. A moment later, he appears to be nothing more than a shadow...if the others can make him out at all*
Jak Snide: (Kamos)
THENinjaRabbi: ...where'd he go?
T3chn0Namagomi: Alright....a little trick I've been waiting to use....
XStrike8: *chuckles*
Arch mage144: *the creature that breathed at Damian hisses coldly, scanning the area frantically for the now nearly invisible man*
T3chn0Namagomi: Prepare to die, ingrates.....
FFFan80: <.<;;; >.>;;; ...did he leave? o_o;;
THENinjaRabbi: I don't th ink so.
T3chn0Namagomi: *positions himself to a spot where he could hit more than one of the....creatures*

Jak Snide: (Doug, no more talking or you loose your turn. =P Just kill the sucka's)

Arch mage144: (HAR HAR XP)
dragonclawsedw: (XP)
Jak Snide: *The nearest creature collapses, barely able to turn it's head, is frozen solid where it stands, an inch thick layer of ice covering it's body*
FFFan80: O_o;;;
Jak Snide: *The other hit by the breath attack, on the other hand, flinches from the cold, but stands firm, shrugging off most of the freezing cold*
FFFan80: *decides to try and keep talking*
FFFan80: Listen, we don't have to fight!! Maybe we can help you!!
T3chn0Namagomi: ....
THENinjaRabbi: I think we're in too deep to stop now.
Jak Snide: (Squitz)

FFFan80: <.<;; >.>;;; *looks for the source of the voice*
FFFan80: ...uh... yeah, that's what I thought too...
Arch mage144: *the voice is coming from said creatures, which sound very much so frustrated*
FFFan80: <_>? ...but what?
THENinjaRabbi: *creates a spike of ice, throwing it at a thing*
Arch mage144: *and angry, and hateful, and tormented, and...*
THENinjaRabbi: Icicle Stab!
FFFan80: (I meant Damian ^_^; )
Jak Snide: *The icicle impacts against the creature...and simply shatters, unnable to pierce whatever is beneath it's garb*
THENinjaRabbi: ...damn.
Arch mage144: No GOOD! Head PAINSSS!
Arch mage144: *the creature targeted by Squintz's spell draws a blade from its cloak, leaping at the paladin and slashing in an attempt to cut him in half*
THENinjaRabbi: GAH!
T3chn0Namagomi: *flies up higher into the air, preparing his shotgun*
FFFan80: >_>;;; IM: ...what do I do? They have to be stopped... but...
Jak Snide: (Adam, do you have a weapon drawn?)
FFFan80: IM: But what? Just kill them e.e They're trying to KILL YOU, do them the same favor, I say XP
THENinjaRabbi: (Yes.)
Jak Snide: (Redemtion or Wraithslayer?)
FFFan80: IM: ...but they're being controlled, I know it... what the hell can I do? >.<
THENinjaRabbi: (Redemption.)
Jak Snide: *The creature flashes past Squintz, a stram of crimson drawn from the paladin's body in it's wake as the blade cuts into his side*
Jak Snide: (18 damage.)
Jak Snide: (Wait, 19)
THENinjaRabbi: *winces* >_o
THENinjaRabbi: *puts a hand over the cut* IM: I've had worse.
Arch mage144: *the creature hisses violently, seemingly excited and also soothed by the prospect of drawing blood*
THENinjaRabbi: Don't worry about me. I'm fine.
Jak Snide: (Daniel)

THENinjaRabbi: Yes.

T3chn0Namagomi: *loads and cocks his shotgun*
Jak Snide: *Den leaps into the air, aiming his Quillstave down at the peak of his jump. The creature, just turning around, comes face to face with the descending attack a split second before it connects, his spear piercing robe and hide alike

Arch mage144: (Ow.)
FFFan80: o_o;; ...*a bit shocked at the effectiveness*
THENinjaRabbi: Not..bad.

T3chn0Namagomi: It's officially a joust....
THENinjaRabbi: ...a joust?
Jak Snide: *Danial is consumed by the flame, overcome with unbearably agony as cold fire licks at his body, sapping him of his very life force. The black tide dies out, and the psudo-paladin looks and feels a great deal worse than before*
Jak Snide: (40 damage.)
T3chn0Namagomi: (Kamos is too far up to be heard)
FFFan80: AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!
Jak Snide: (-1 generic penalty due to wounds.)
Arch mage144: *the creature grins toothily, obviously pleased*
FFFan80: *Thuds forward* >.~;;; ....a.....a....ah....
Arch mage144: Head painssss...ssssubsssiding...
Jak Snide: (Damian's turn.)
THENinjaRabbi: ...
XStrike8: Too bad.
dragonclawsedw: ( ;_; Daniel dear!)
XStrike8: *shifts himself to Encroaching Darkness style*
XStrike8: *jumps forwards wit hhis favorite arcing kick (Yup, Round Kick time)*
XStrike8: (Note: Damian only wishes to KO this one. And this one is the one that just flamed Daniel)
THENinjaRabbi: (OMG FLAMER?)
T3chn0Namagomi: (No. Not Flamer. FIAR)
Jak Snide: *With a might thunk, Damian's foot connects as he appears to the world again. The creature vibrates from the impact, staggers, and falls.*
XStrike8: Apparently you like my trick. e.e
FFFan80: >.<;;; *staggers to his feet, trying to ignore the searing pain*
T3chn0Namagomi: Damnit.....
T3chn0Namagomi: Well, I have another suitable opponent.
THENinjaRabbi: *looks up* Gun...
XStrike8: NO, Kamos. We will not kill these people.
Jak Snide: (Kamo's turn, and Damian did 110 damage to the head)
XStrike8: What they're doing is likely not their fault.
Jak Snide: (The creature is dead)
T3chn0Namagomi: I declare this a joust. Begin.
XStrike8: (A boot to the head for the ages. And note, Damian did NOT want to kill that one. >.>;;; )
dragonclawsedw: (Damien: o_O;; Oops..)
Jak Snide: (Tough. You got a X3 damage critical. o_o)
THENinjaRabbi: I think that you killed it, though...
THENinjaRabbi: o_o
XStrike8: (Damian: I suppose it cannot be helped. -.-;;; Rest in peace)
FFFan80: v.<;; ...y..you *wince*...had to do what you had to do...
XStrike8: -.e If we could have at least settled this peacefully.
T3chn0Namagomi: *at the word, "Begin, Kamos begins a descent toward the last remaining...thing, shotgun held out in front of him. He attempts to fire at it in point blank while curving his descent into an ascent, and maybe ram it*
XStrike8: Please. We don't have to do this..
T3chn0Namagomi: (Well, you get the idea)
Jak Snide: *As Kamos descends like the angel of death, the last remaining creature takes to the air, the firearm in the Valthi's hand unloading into the ground, spraying dirt everywhere*
Jak Snide: (Squintz)
T3chn0Namagomi: What the?! How could it see that coming? Much less REACT to it?!?!
THENinjaRabbi: *looks up* Hmm..
THENinjaRabbi: I don't think that I can diable it...
Arch mage144: *the creature smirks at Kamos, hissing*
THENinjaRabbi: *balls up a big ball o' holy, forming a sword with this energy, and firing at the beast* Though it CAN feel the wrath of JUSTICE! e_E
FFFan80: o.<;;
dragonclawsedw: (Amelia: *cheers* ^_^ A true champion of JUSTICE!)
THENinjaRabbi: (Next tech: Pacifisct Crush.)
T3chn0Namagomi: *curves upward into the air, gaining more altitude*
Arch mage144: (...Amelia also has...the BOXING GLOVES OF RIGHTEOUSNESS.)
Arch mage144: (...or something pretty damned close.)
T3chn0Namagomi: IM:Last time I try that when they can see I'm coming
T3chn0Namagomi: (Visfarank)
Jak Snide: *As Kamos curves, he spots the creature...right before a sword of pure white colides with it, creating a blinding flash of light*
dragonclawsedw: (Vistafrank! XD)
XStrike8: (That's right, Nama. ^_^)
FFFan80: >.<;
FFFan80: >.o;
Jak Snide: *when the light fades, there is nothing left, save for a thin layer of ash that falls upon the field of battle*
T3chn0Namagomi: >.<
Arch mage144: *so much for THAT creature*
T3chn0Namagomi: Well, it's dead.
dragonclawsedw: (It's dead Jim!)
THENinjaRabbi: ...Well, it was all we could do.
Arch mage144: (Everyone gains 200 XP.
Arch mage144: )
FFFan80: ....s....so much for...
T3chn0Namagomi: *descends to the ground slowly*
XStrike8: -.- Damn.
FFFan80: >.< *wince*
FFFan80: ..f...finding out wh...why they were here...
T3chn0Namagomi: I TOLD you we couldn't interrogate it.
THENinjaRabbi: Ok, let's get you healed up!
Arch mage144: *while all of the creatures are dead, two of them are intact enough to allow for inspection and or investigation*
XStrike8: Wait. -.- Wait wait.
XStrike8: Does anyone have a fire spell or something?
THENinjaRabbi: *balls up some energy, touching it to Dan's forehead* Heal...some...more.
THENinjaRabbi: (Healmore to Dan.)
XStrike8: Perhaps we can warm this one up *taps the iced one* and see what it knows.
T3chn0Namagomi: Hell no we are NOT thawing it.
Arch mage144: *the creature seems pretty dead, anyway*
XStrike8: Sir Kamos... e.e *walks slowly and calmly over to him
dragonclawsedw: (Aya: >_> You guys sure have stupid names for your healing spells...)
XStrike8: Did I ask you for your opinion? e.e
T3chn0Namagomi: I'm just trying to be careful.
T3chn0Namagomi: If we revive it, it'll probably try to kill us again!
XStrike8: It's better to thaw it and find out what we can about these creatures and their "master" than to have to do this AGAIN.
FFFan80: (Stephan: ...oh really miss 'Astral Vine'... ooooh, not the scary VINES!)
T3chn0Namagomi: Listen to me. It. Won't. Talk.
Arch mage144: *the creature's frozen state almost guarantees that it's not going to be revivable just with heat*
FFFan80: >.o? *has his forehead poked*
T3chn0Namagomi: Do what you want. I'm not going to be responsible for what happens to you, though.
dragonclawsedw: (Aya: *enchants her sword with astral vine and smacks Stephan with it* Alusat! >.<)
XStrike8: Didn't ask you for that either.
dragonclawsedw: (Brb)
Arch mage144: *as Damian gets a closer look at the creature...*
XStrike8: *looks close* o.o
Arch mage144: *he notices that it is humanoid, with draconic facial figures, and a longer, lizardlike snout*
dragonclawsedw has left the room.
XStrike8: Hmm.... Somewhat... like a dragon....
XStrike8: o.o Interesting.
FFFan80: (...did I get healed? <_>? )
Arch mage144: (Yes.)
Arch mage144: (You're full up.)
FFFan80: (K, just checking ^_^; )
FFFan80: >.> *walks over to check*
FFFan80: ...find anything, sir? o.o?
Arch mage144: *the draconian appears to be wearing a silver ring on his finger*
XStrike8: Hmm.
THENinjaRabbi: *walks over*
XStrike8: This one seems to be wearing some kind of ring.
THENinjaRabbi: Interesting.
XStrike8: Very.
THENinjaRabbi: Do you think that's how they were controlled?
FFFan80: 6.6? ...maybe... *shrug*
Arch mage144: *the farmhouse, meanwhile, has basically burned itself out*
Arch mage144: *...while it is ruined, no further damage can be done*
T3chn0Namagomi: Ahh....forget it...*attempts to search the intact, non-frozen body for anything of value*
XStrike8: For once I wish I had learned another type of spell. >:\
Arch mage144: *the only thing the draconian is carrying is the ring...and a standard iron longsword*
XStrike8: And I also wish we didn't have to do this to these poor creatures.
T3chn0Namagomi: Hmm.....
FFFan80: >_>;; ...same here.
dragonclawsedw has left the room.
T3chn0Namagomi: *takes the ring, and inspects it from the physical and astral sides*
THENinjaRabbi: It was self defence.
Arch mage144: *both draconians have rings*
Arch mage144: *of the same make, silver, with a recognizable sigil carved in them*
THENinjaRabbi: *attempts to scan the rings*
THENinjaRabbi: *astrally*
dragonclawsedw has entered the room.
FFFan80: o.o?
Arch mage144: *they're enchanted, apparently with charm spells*
FFFan80: 6.6 *looks at the sigils*
XStrike8: Very interesting.
THENinjaRabbi: Hmmm..They're enchanted rings.
T3chn0Namagomi: Hmm.....
Arch mage144: *the sigil is...oddly familiar to Dan*
FFFan80: ...I've seen this....
XStrike8: And even if it was self-defense, I still don't feel right about it.
THENinjaRabbi: Some sort of spell....I think that's how they were controlled.
FFFan80: <_>? ...somewhere... *thinks* 9.9?
XStrike8: I don't like taking life if I don't have to.
T3chn0Namagomi: IM:Interesting. Charm spells.....I should give this to Ash as a "present".....heheheh......
FFFan80: ...oh yeah!
FFFan80: Hak showed me that once. *nod* o.o
XStrike8: Hmm?
XStrike8: Anyplace you can remember?
XStrike8: Or does it mean something?
FFFan80: <.< some weird mage who used to work for Doma, that was his symbol/sigil, whatever you call it 6.6 *points at it*
XStrike8: ... wonderful.
THENinjaRabbi: ..what was his name? Can you remember it?
XStrike8: Disgruntled mage, perhaps?
FFFan80: ...yeah, I think, he mentioned the guy being upset. I think he was thrown out of the court.
T3chn0Namagomi: Ehh.....maybe I could sell the frozen one to a butcher.
FFFan80: But I don't know what his name was... sorry v.v
THENinjaRabbi: That's okay. This seems to be our only lead, though.
FFFan80: ....KAMOS, NO e_e;;
T3chn0Namagomi: What? I'll get money for it.
XStrike8: Kamos? e.e
XStrike8: You are trying my patience for the day. e.e Kindly drop this conversation.
T3chn0Namagomi: ....fine, fine....
T3chn0Namagomi: *rolls his eyes*
FFFan80: IM: ...now THERE's an idea... chop up Kamos and sell some "Angst Rumproast"! ^-^
FFFan80: IM: ...NO TO YOU TOO DANTE e.e+
dragonclawsedw: (Arnast: Mmm, angst... *homer drool*)
T3chn0Namagomi: Well, I have a lead.......but without a source of money, well, why follow it? *shrugs, and turns away from the party*
THENinjaRabbi: ...right.
THENinjaRabbi: I think we should ask around.
FFFan80: ....*sighs*
T3chn0Namagomi: Suit yourselves, fools.
FFFan80: v.v IM: ...the things I do for help...
FFFan80: ...Kamos, the villagers might want your help too, you know.
THENinjaRabbi: *takes his sword, and slices off the ring finger of one of the draconians*
T3chn0Namagomi: Maybe I'll just go there myself...or maybe I could call the guards...
FFFan80: I'm sure they could, IM: ...I can't believe I'm saying this >.<, ...work something out with you.
T3chn0Namagomi: But why should I deal with people who have problems with my way of conduct without incentive?
XStrike8: Hmm...
THENinjaRabbi: *picks up the finger*
XStrike8: Well, Sir Kamos, if that's what you wish, we shall do this ourselves.
THENinjaRabbi: Well, we got our ring.
Arch mage144: *...Squintz acquires 1x ring finger!*
XStrike8: *grins* Perhaps you could use a bit more competition in your field.
dragonclawsedw: (XD)
T3chn0Namagomi: Suit yourselves.
FFFan80: IM: ...I can't @#$#@ing believe he's trying to PROFIT off us HELPING PEOPLE!?! @_e++
FFFan80: IM: ...eheehehe... want me to set him straight for ya? ^_^
FFFan80: IM: NO
T3chn0Namagomi: Well, well, I might as well deal with the haunted mansion with demonic draconic guys and blue dwarves, then...
THENinjaRabbi: ...what's up with you?
THENinjaRabbi: ...what?
FFFan80: ...huh?
T3chn0Namagomi: Nope. You don't sound interested.
THENinjaRabbi: ...no...something's up with you.
THENinjaRabbi: ...and what's this about a haunted mansion?
FFFan80: o.ó ...what the heck are you talking about?
T3chn0Namagomi: Simple. I hate doing charity
XStrike8: Hmph.
FFFan80: >.e+ *twitch*
T3chn0Namagomi: Heh......I knew you'd eventually see it my way...
THENinjaRabbi: Fine. I'll pay you. *pulls out his money and tosses it to Kamos* Talk.
T3chn0Namagomi: *nods* Thank you. And now I will.
FFFan80: >.<+++ IM: Of all the $@#$ING BLOODY LOWDOWN... URRRRGH!!!
THENinjaRabbi: IM: Kae's gonna kill me...that was our food money...
T3chn0Namagomi: It was a rumor that I heard in a bar.
FFFan80: <.<
FFFan80: >.>
THENinjaRabbi: 'bout what?
XStrike8: e.e;;;
T3chn0Namagomi: Some traveler or other was mentioning how he saw this apparently haunted mansion
THENinjaRabbi: ...*raises eyebrow*
T3chn0Namagomi: There are supposedly creatures that looked demonic and draconic.....somewhat like these guys we killed seem to be.....and these things described as "blue dwarves"....
FFFan80: ...blue dwarves? <_>?
THENinjaRabbi: ...blue...dwarves.
FFFan80: IM: ...maybe it's a bunch of short drow or something? >_>;
THENinjaRabbi: ...baby drow?
T3chn0Namagomi: No.
T3chn0Namagomi: Baby drow don't look like dwarves.
THENinjaRabbi: ...true.
THENinjaRabbi: did he mention where this place was?
FFFan80: ...they had beards? <_>;
XStrike8: Hmm.. Blue... dwarves? -.-
XStrike8: That sounds a tad familiar....
dragonclawsedw: (Nakibe: What are you looking at ME for? >:P )
T3chn0Namagomi: It was...let me think....*innocently*Maybe some money could jar my memory?
THENinjaRabbi: ...I gave you all my money.
FFFan80: e_@+++
XStrike8: Hmm.. weren't they some sort of miners?
T3chn0Namagomi: Okay, okay, okay.
XStrike8: Hmm...
T3chn0Namagomi: It was seen in some woods outside of Doma.
T3chn0Namagomi: Doma city, I mean.
THENinjaRabbi: Well, that's a better lead than the ring. *looks at the finger he's holding*
FFFan80: Uh.... Squintz, isn't it? Maybe you should remove the ring? ^_^;
THENinjaRabbi: ...yeah.
THENinjaRabbi: *does so*
Arch mage144: *Squintz loses 1x ring finger!*
Arch mage144: *Squintz gains 1x ring!*
XStrike8: Hmm...
XStrike8: Sounds like a good place to investigate.
FFFan80: <_<;;; *kicks some dirt over said finger*
Arch mage144: *the GM gains 200 whimsical points!*
FFFan80: o.o Then let's hurry! Who knows where they might strike next >_>;
T3chn0Namagomi: Alright.
Arch mage144: *Dan catches a glimpse of something in the shadows...*
Arch mage144: *...and that something quickly turns tail and runs*
FFFan80: ......?
T3chn0Namagomi: *prepares to take to the air again*
FFFan80: O_o ...HEY!? *runs after the shadow*
FFFan80: COME BACK HERE!!!
XStrike8: Huh?
XStrike8: What's going on? -.o
XStrike8: *runs after Daniel*
T3chn0Namagomi: ?!
THENinjaRabbi: *chases*
THENinjaRabbi: Sir! Wait up!
XStrike8: Don't go off alone!!.
T3chn0Namagomi: *jumps, and starts to glide after the something*
FFFan80: *slows down slightly for them to catch up*
Arch mage144: (*puts on Yellow Alert*)
dragonclawsedw: (XD)
Arch mage144: *Dan notes that he's lost the target...*
FFFan80: o.o -.-
FFFan80: ....DAMMIT >.<
FFFan80: *stops*
Arch mage144: *...and also that he's out in the forest now*
XStrike8: Sir... Sir!!!
THENinjaRabbi: ...what did you see? o_o
Arch mage144: *the trees rustle in the wind, an owl hoots in the distance, and crickets chirp noisily...*
FFFan80: I'm not sure...
XStrike8: What made you go off like that? o.o
FFFan80: >_> I saw something watching us.
Arch mage144: *the screeching of a cicada echoes in the night air*
FFFan80: o.o Then it saw me and ran off.
XStrike8: Hmmm... wonderful.
FFFan80: Sorry about that v.v
FFFan80: ...um...
FFFan80: o.o? ...you look familar, Mr....?
Arch mage144: *a branch snaps under Dan's feet*
THENinjaRabbi: ...we're in the forest. Sir, *to Kamos* Wasn't the mansion in the forest?
FFFan80: ...HUH?
XStrike8: You may call me Damian.
T3chn0Namagomi: Yeah.
XStrike8: o.o
Arch mage144: *a bit of smoke, as though from a chimney, is visible on the horizon*
THENinjaRabbi: Do you suppose it's around here...?
T3chn0Namagomi: *ascends, preparing to scout, and sees the smoke*
XStrike8: Maybe.
Arch mage144: *Kamos is unable to see anything else due to the trees, but at the moment, he can spot the rising smoke*
FFFan80: It's worth a shot, um... Damian.
T3chn0Namagomi: Damn trees....
FFFan80: 9.9 *thinks*
T3chn0Namagomi: Hey, I see some damn smoke.
FFFan80: Oh, my name's Daniel, by the way.
FFFan80: *extends a hand* ^_^ Um, nice to formally meet you for once.
XStrike8: Sir Daniel, you say?
FFFan80: Yes.
XStrike8: *looks at his hand* o.o *shakes it* ^-^
THENinjaRabbi: ....some damn smoke?
THENinjaRabbi: Great. Bad omen.
XStrike8: Smoke? -.o
T3chn0Namagomi: Yeah, smoke.
XStrike8: Where?
XStrike8: Which direction?
T3chn0Namagomi: *lands, and points in the direction*
XStrike8: Well. That's definitely one idea.
XStrike8: Anyone else have another suggestion?
dragonclawsedw has left the room.
T3chn0Namagomi: Just like I thought.
THENinjaRabbi: ...not really. I say we investigate it.
XStrike8: I'd agree.
FFFan80: Well... it could just be someone camping out. *shrug*
XStrike8: We can hope.
T3chn0Namagomi: How do you know?
T3chn0Namagomi: I'm hoping for the mansion.
FFFan80: I don't know, I'm just speculating.
FFFan80: ....
FFFan80: o.ó ...I thought you said you knew where it was?
T3chn0Namagomi: He didn't say exactly where.
THENinjaRabbi: Well, no use standing here.
THENinjaRabbi: *begins to walk toward the smoke*
FFFan80: ...well... *is* this the area they said it was in?
XStrike8: So we don't know where we're going? -.o
XStrike8: Please don't tell me we don't know where we're going.
T3chn0Namagomi: Let's just follow the fucking smoke.
XStrike8: IM: We don't know where we're going!!! ^o^ I said NOT to say that. e.e
FFFan80: *sighs*
T3chn0Namagomi: *starts to walk in the direction*
FFFan80: e_e Kamos, I'm just asking if this was the forest you were to....
FFFan80: .......
FFFan80: -\/-++++
FFFan80: *follows*
XStrike8: *sighs and follows* And it was such a lovely day this morning.
THENinjaRabbi: Yeah. Not too hot, not too cold.
Arch mage144: *after a few minutes of walking, Dan, Kamos, and Damian, as well as Squintz, all arrive at what looks like a very well built home*
FFFan80: Indeed... the weather sure is nice in Doma this time of year *nod*
FFFan80: o.o ......
T3chn0Namagomi: Hmm.....
FFFan80: ...I guess this is it ^_^;
XStrike8: But then it had to be ruined. -.e
Arch mage144: *it's rather large, built in what we in the modern day world might call Victorian architectural style*
T3chn0Namagomi: That's my guess.
FFFan80: ....
FFFan80: ........
XStrike8: Nice place. Very Victorian-era.
FFFan80: >_>;;; ...should we knock? ^_^;;;
T3chn0Namagomi: Damn, that's a huge house!
THENinjaRabbi: ...Vicotorian...era? What?
XStrike8: (Sankyuu Brian. >;D)
XStrike8: Err... Nevermind.
THENinjaRabbi: *Victorian
Arch mage144: (*chuckles*)
T3chn0Namagomi: ...
THENinjaRabbi: ...right.
THENinjaRabbi: Well, suppose we should just knock?
T3chn0Namagomi: I'm not going to knock on it.
FFFan80: ...if there's smoke, someone's probably in there.
Arch mage144: *the door is, most likely, the most frightening obstacle faced thus far by the four adventurers...*
T3chn0Namagomi: Chances are, something's going to come out and try to attack us.
Arch mage144: *it stands there in wooden glory, complete with a lion's head doorknocker*
FFFan80: >_>;;; *sighs*
T3chn0Namagomi: Okay, okay, damnit.
FFFan80: 9_9;; ...fine, *I'll* knock.
XStrike8: Ah, well.
XStrike8: ALlow me, Sir Daniel.
T3chn0Namagomi: *walks up to the door*
FFFan80: *goes to the door*
XStrike8: *walks over to the door*
T3chn0Namagomi: *bangs on it with his gun a few times*
XStrike8: *glares at Kamos for a moment*
Arch mage144: *and the three of them are now standing on the porch*
FFFan80: o.o *knocks*
Arch mage144: *the door echoes noisily, as is typical of wood when struck with a blunt object such as a fist...or rifle*
XStrike8: IM: Aww, I was hoping he'd blast the door down. Exactly what I was afraid of.
Arch mage144: *a few minutes go by...and no one seems to answer*
XStrike8: Apparently no one home.
T3chn0Namagomi: ...Let's enter, then.
Arch mage144: *as soon as Kamos speaks, the door swings open, creaking*
THENinjaRabbi: ...
T3chn0Namagomi: ...Or not.
THENinjaRabbi: Well, that works.
THENinjaRabbi: *walks in*
XStrike8: Ah, yes. The classic haunted house feel.
T3chn0Namagomi: *walks in*
XStrike8: *follows*
THENinjaRabbi: ...classic haunted house? You're an odd man.
T3chn0Namagomi: Very odd.
FFFan80: ......
XStrike8: *mumbles* If only you knew
FFFan80: @_@ ...eeep
THENinjaRabbi: ..What was that?
FFFan80: *follows the others in* <_<;
Arch mage144: *the front foyer is decorated nicely with a bit of post-modern Doman art, a bust of King Charles, and some rather well chosen furniture*
XStrike8: -.- Let's see what other fun things this house has to offer, shall we?
T3chn0Namagomi: -v-
FFFan80: o.o ...hey, it's the king *points*
T3chn0Namagomi: *sees the bust of the king*
T3chn0Namagomi: Can I shoot it?
Arch mage144: *everything looks rather comfortable and inviting, and there is a lit fireplace against the back wall*
XStrike8: No.
FFFan80: .......
FFFan80: NO KAMOS e_e;
XStrike8: e.e
THENinjaRabbi: ...
T3chn0Namagomi: Come on, I'm not allowed to shoot the king himself, so why can't I let out some stress?
XStrike8: You're also on the job. e.e
XStrike8: >.> A job which seems to require STEALTH at this time?
FFFan80: Indeed ~_~;
XStrike8: Or have you not noticed that?
T3chn0Namagomi: Fine.
THENinjaRabbi: if it requires that much stealth...we shouldn't be talking.
FFFan80: *steps away from the others a minute, looks around* <.< >.>
Arch mage144: *the floor creaks under Damian's footsteps*
T3chn0Namagomi: I'll take it and break it later.
T3chn0Namagomi: *attempts to walk over to the bust*
XStrike8: *looks down at his feet and frowns*
XStrike8: IM: Losing your touch? Whatever.
THENinjaRabbi: ..*w* Who lit the fireplace?
FFFan80: ....?
XStrike8: *tries to move around a bit more carefully*
Arch mage144: *Kamos is unimpeded*
XStrike8: *w* Good question...
T3chn0Namagomi: *attempts to carefully take the bust, lest there be traps*
FFFan80: *w* ...someone must have...
Arch mage144: *there are three doors other than the main entrance, one on the left about midway down the room, another near the end of the room on the right, and one against the back wall, made of glass*
Arch mage144: *the bust comes off the pedestal without a hitch*
FFFan80: ........
FFFan80: o.ó ...a glass door?
THENinjaRabbi: ...um...Kamos...sir...I don't think you need that now..
T3chn0Namagomi: *well, sticks the bust in the sling for his rifle, seeing as he has his rifle out*
Arch mage144: *Kamos acquires...a bust of King Charles*
XStrike8: *w* Well, friends. Which way?
T3chn0Namagomi: Hmm.....I say, start on the left.
FFFan80: <.< >.> ...I'm not sure...
Arch mage144: *Daniel also notes a book perched on the fireplace mantel*
FFFan80: ....?
Arch mage144: (I hope I spelled that right.)
FFFan80: *starts over to it* Hey, a book. o.o
XStrike8: (Mantle)
Arch mage144: (Thank you.)
XStrike8: (But don't let that stop you. ^_^)
THENinjaRabbi: What's the title?
FFFan80: Lemme check *grabs the book*
XStrike8: *w* Haunted Houses for Dummies, no doubt. *chuckles*
Arch mage144: *the book is only a little dusty, with a brownish leathery cover and yellowed, creme colored pages*
Arch mage144: *it has no title*
T3chn0Namagomi: (AFK to put bird to bed)
FFFan80: 6.6? ...weird... no title...
Arch mage144: *one of the pages is somewhat ragged and hanging out*
FFFan80: *flips it open* ...maybe a journal or something...?
XStrike8: *w* Hmm...
XStrike8: *thinks of something* o.o
FFFan80: *...looks at the pages*
XStrike8: IM: Nakibe, could you do me a favor and take a look around this room. Tell me what ya find. Why do I have to do all the hard work? I should get paid more.
Arch mage144: *Dan notes that the book is a kind of spellbook, and just looking at the complex runes, enchantments, incantations and sigils gives him a mild headache*
FFFan80: ...
FFFan80: ......
FFFan80: @_@;;; ....er....
XStrike8: IM: Sure. I'll do that. As soon as we get money. ^_^ Ha ha. Very funny. e.e
Arch mage144: *almost nothing is written in common, or any other language he would know*
FFFan80: Someone a bit more magically inclined wanna look at this...?
THENinjaRabbi: ...I'll take a look.
FFFan80: *hands it to Squintz*
THENinjaRabbi: *walks over to the book, and looks at the pages*
XStrike8: *seems to be concentrating on something in front of him*
Arch mage144: *Squintz flips through the pages, and doesn't really find much of the book to be very interesting...or comprehensible*
THENinjaRabbi: *specifically for any language he would know, which are Drow, High Elven, and Common..*
Arch mage144: *most of it deals with bizarre enchantments, none of which are written in a manner that make any sense*
FFFan80: >.> ...anything?
THENinjaRabbi: (I should list that somewhere*
THENinjaRabbi: ))
Arch mage144: *it appears to be rough notes, moreso than anything else*
THENinjaRabbi: ...nothing.
THENinjaRabbi: It's just plain confusing.
Arch mage144: *however, one page in particular is torn, apparently almost in half*
FFFan80: I'll say... 6.6;
Arch mage144: *and there is a bit of common at the top, written in crimson ink*
XStrike8: (Nakibe's search turn up anything?)
THENinjaRabbi: ...wait, this one page...
Arch mage144: (Is it just a general room search?)
T3chn0Namagomi: What the hell?
THENinjaRabbi: Common.
FFFan80: >.>?
FFFan80: o.o? ...what's it say?
THENinjaRabbi: *reads it*
XStrike8: (Yup.)
T3chn0Namagomi: Hmm....
T3chn0Namagomi: *searches the room for anything else of value*
Arch mage144: *the book reads, "The operation is nearly completed. I have successfully sealed the chamber with a powerful enchantment. None who do not know the command phrase may unlock it."*
Arch mage144: *Kamos doesn't really find anything, unless flowery pillows with silk tassels are considered valuable to him*
Arch mage144: *Nakibe's search turns up nothing of any real interest...the room is a rather mundane living room/foyer*
T3chn0Namagomi: .....fucking pillows...
T3chn0Namagomi: *throws one in the fire*
Arch mage144: *the writing continues..."I have inscribed here the command phrase..."*
XStrike8: IM: Well? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. Odd...
THENinjaRabbi: Something about an enchantment...and a command word...
FFFan80: ....KAMOS e_e;;;
Arch mage144: *here the page cuts off, torn*
XStrike8: Hmm? *turns his attention back to Squintz*
XStrike8: What's this about a command word?
THENinjaRabbi: ...the word's cut off from the rest of the page. Dammit.
T3chn0Namagomi: Command word?
THENinjaRabbi: Yeah, to a chamer.
THENinjaRabbi: *chamber
FFFan80: ....hmmm....
XStrike8: Sounds important.
Arch mage144: *Squintz notes a bit of ink bleeding through--there's more writing on the other side*
THENinjaRabbi: yeah.
T3chn0Namagomi: Hmmm.....
THENinjaRabbi: ...wait..
XStrike8: Any idea what's in the chamber itself?
THENinjaRabbi: *turns page*
XStrike8: Eh?
THENinjaRabbi: No idea.
T3chn0Namagomi: I hope it's money.
FFFan80: .......
Arch mage144: *..."I have hidden the command phrase in pieces throughout my residence, so as not to forget it, but so that it will not be easily accessible to...any who may discover my operation."*
FFFan80: .....
FFFan80: 6.6;;; ....well, that wasn't too smart.
Arch mage144: *the notes are dated and signed by an "Athyr Starfinger"*
XStrike8: Sounds smart enough.
THENinjaRabbi: Yes.
THENinjaRabbi: And now we have a name.
XStrike8: Otherwise anyone could find that book and take this command word.
FFFan80: >_>;;; But... he just told us how to break into his own home.
T3chn0Namagomi: So now we're going to have to find the pieces
FFFan80: I guess so.
FFFan80: <.< ....hmmm....
T3chn0Namagomi: Technically, search-wise, it'd be better if we split, but we don't know what's here.
THENinjaRabbi: True.
T3chn0Namagomi: So we should probably stay together
FFFan80: 6.6 ...hmmm...
XStrike8: Ah, a good idea for this.
T3chn0Namagomi: Wouldn't be suprised if our friend rigged a few tricks for us.
XStrike8: Which leaves us back where we started, unfortunately.
THENinjaRabbi: Well, no choice but to search.
FFFan80: ....what do you mean, Damian?
XStrike8: Would you rather Door Number 1? Door Number 2. Or Door Number 3?
T3chn0Namagomi: I'll take the one on the left.
FFFan80: ......
FFFan80: <_<;; ...I guess it doesn't really matter.
XStrike8: (Is that your FINAL ANSWER?)
T3chn0Namagomi: (Yeah.)
XStrike8: Hmmm....
XStrike8: So let's go.
Arch mage144: *the door looms ominously*
XStrike8: *walks towards the ominously looming door*
THENinjaRabbi: *opens the door, to shut the GM up*
T3chn0Namagomi: (as ominously as a door can loom)
Arch mage144: *the back glass door rattles*
XStrike8: >.>
THENinjaRabbi: *turns around* o_o
T3chn0Namagomi: ...
XStrike8: Strange.
Arch mage144: *...it's apparently just the wind*
T3chn0Namagomi: It's glass.
FFFan80: >_>;;
XStrike8: It's just right for a haunted house.
T3chn0Namagomi: Glass rattles, einsteins.
T3chn0Namagomi: *morons
XStrike8: Gee, I didn't notice. e.e
Arch mage144: (...XD)
T3chn0Namagomi: (Damnit!)
Arch mage144: (Going to say, who's Einstein?)
T3chn0Namagomi: (Thank god I corrected myself!)
Arch mage144: *as Squintz opens the door...*
Arch mage144: ...*he peers into a hallway*
T3chn0Namagomi: Something just doesn't feel right...
THENinjaRabbi: *looks down the hallway* Well, here we go.
Arch mage144: *there is a door down the left, a door down the right, and three doors across*
T3chn0Namagomi: .....I get the idea that this guy's got something just waiting for us.
XStrike8: -.- Perhaps it's the feeling that we were expected.
XStrike8: Yes, as I thought.
THENinjaRabbi: We have plenty more doors.
XStrike8: The Lady or the Tiger, Gentlemen?
T3chn0Namagomi: Huh?
THENinjaRabbi: ...what?
FFFan80: ....?
XStrike8: Behind one door is a beautiful lady of your dreams.
XStrike8: Behind the others, fierce tigers.
THENinjaRabbi: ...I'm already married.
XStrike8: *shrugs* It's a poem I read once.
T3chn0Namagomi: Women hate me.
Arch mage144: (No kidding.)
FFFan80: ....that's really too bad Kamos.
FFFan80: <_< ...so anyway.
Arch mage144: *each door is plain, nondescript, and made of what appears to be oak, or maybe maple*
T3chn0Namagomi: *rolls eyes* Thank you so much for caring.</sarcasm>
THENinjaRabbi: Well, door 1, 2 , 3, 4 or 5?
T3chn0Namagomi: Four.
XStrike8: How about we go right, this time?
THENinjaRabbi: One down there, one down there, and 3 right there.
THENinjaRabbi: How about we all take a door?
XStrike8: Too risky.
THENinjaRabbi: I suspect those 3 lead to rooms...
T3chn0Namagomi: He's right.
XStrike8: Get caught by something on the other side of that door, you don't come back.
T3chn0Namagomi: Yeah.
T3chn0Namagomi: Hmm.....
FFFan80: ....
FFFan80: .......
T3chn0Namagomi: *walks over to one of the doors on the left*
FFFan80: <_<;; ...well we have to go SOMEWHERE....
XStrike8: *follows Kamos*
THENinjaRabbi: *Ditto*
T3chn0Namagomi: *opens it carefully, peering inside*
XStrike8: Hopefully this will work out. >.>
FFFan80: <.< ...indeed.
Arch mage144: (Against the wall or on the left hallway corridor?)
T3chn0Namagomi: (??)
T3chn0Namagomi: (It's on the left)
Arch mage144: (There are two left doors.)
T3chn0Namagomi: (Uhh...wall.)
XStrike8: (There's 5 doors, 1 on the left, 3 in front, one on the right.)
Arch mage144: *Kamos carefully opens the door...*
XStrike8: (Ah, that left.)
Arch mage144: *...and a rolled up towel falls on his head*
T3chn0Namagomi: ....
THENinjaRabbi: ...*snickers*
XStrike8: o.-
T3chn0Namagomi: Hmm....
XStrike8: That was.... interesting.
T3chn0Namagomi: Wait...
XStrike8: What?
T3chn0Namagomi: There might be something.....
THENinjaRabbi: ..in the towel?
T3chn0Namagomi: *starts to unroll the towel*
T3chn0Namagomi: Yes.
XStrike8: Hmm..
THENinjaRabbi: I doubt it...
T3chn0Namagomi: It's possible
XStrike8: Well, any lead is better than none.
THENinjaRabbi: *looks at other doors* Perhaps we should try another?
Arch mage144: ...*it's a towel, white, made of terry cloth, and oh so smooth!*
T3chn0Namagomi: We don't know where these things might be.
T3chn0Namagomi: ....-v-
T3chn0Namagomi: (Nothing inside, I presume?)
THENinjaRabbi: right. *opens door next to it*
Arch mage144: *Kamos thinks that if he washed his face with the hand towel, he might feel a lot cleaner and more refreshed*
T3chn0Namagomi: .....\
Arch mage144: *the middle door reveals...a bathroom, complete with basic fixtures--a sink basin and a bathtub*
Arch mage144: *in addition to a toilet--flush toilets are uncommon, but do exist in some parts of Doma*
XStrike8: Most interesting.
THENinjaRabbi: ...wow, a toilet.
T3chn0Namagomi: A toilet?!
XStrike8: Very interesting indeed. -.o
THENinjaRabbi: Don't see too many of those...
T3chn0Namagomi: How the hell did that king get ahold of THAT technology?
T3chn0Namagomi: Probably technological thieft.
THENinjaRabbi: ..he's a king. Anyways..
XStrike8: *snickers* Magic, perhaps?
THENinjaRabbi: *looks for cabinets*
XStrike8: And who needs to steal when one can pay.
XStrike8: ?
Arch mage144: *there are no cabinets in the bathroom*
THENinjaRabbi: ...*smirk* Anyone need to go?
XStrike8: I think we could find better places to search than this.
T3chn0Namagomi: *looks for anything out of the ordinary*
XStrike8: And I went before we left, thank you
T3chn0Namagomi: No.
Arch mage144: *Kamos notes nothing he hasn't seen before*
THENinjaRabbi: Ok. *opens the door next to THAT*
FFFan80: Geez Kamos, even Baron has plumbing, did we steal that too? :-/
Arch mage144: *...the door opens, revealing...*
T3chn0Namagomi: Doma steals everything.
Arch mage144: *...a broom, mop, and dustpan*
T3chn0Namagomi: .....
THENinjaRabbi: ...
THENinjaRabbi: Well, I think this was pretty much a dead end.
Arch mage144: *there is also a bucket*
T3chn0Namagomi: Hmm....
XStrike8: (But there is no spoon.)
Arch mage144: *it's got a little water in it*
Arch mage144: *and the mop smells faintly of mildew*
XStrike8: Anyone for going back
THENinjaRabbi: Me.
XStrike8: Just say so.
Arch mage144: (Still two more doors.)
Arch mage144: (One at each end of the hallway.)
T3chn0Namagomi: I'm checking out this door...*opens the OTHER left door*
THENinjaRabbi: ...er...well, there's those two doors..
Arch mage144: *Kamos opens the door...*
THENinjaRabbi: IM: I wonder if another towel falls out?
XStrike8: Probably nothing of value behind them.
Arch mage144: *and spots three blue-skinned, white haired dwarves sitting in a room around a table, playing cards...*
XStrike8: *snickers* perhaps we shall find that this mystery wizard collects so... o.o
THENinjaRabbi: eh. You never know...o_O
T3chn0Namagomi: O.o
Arch mage144: *all three of which stand up, draw hand crossbows, and point them at the chimera*
Arch mage144: (Init rolls!)
XStrike8: I think... we have interrupted their card game.
*OnlineHost*: THENinjaRabbi rolled 2 6-sided dice: 2 4
*OnlineHost*: XStrike8 rolled 2 6-sided dice: 4 3
THENinjaRabbi: (10.)
XStrike8: (16)
T3chn0Namagomi: You THINK?
*OnlineHost*: T3chn0Namagomi rolled 2 6-sided dice: 3 4
*OnlineHost*: FFFan80 rolled 2 6-sided dice: 2 5
FFFan80: O_@
T3chn0Namagomi: (15, again)
XStrike8: Might I ask you gentlement what we can do to rectify this error?
Arch mage144: *the dwarves grunt in acknowledgement that they are being spoken to...*
FFFan80: Uh.... hi? ^_^;;;;;;;;
THENinjaRabbi: IM: Blue...dwarves.
THENinjaRabbi: IM: Weird.
Arch mage144: *...and unload a trio of bolts, one at Kamos, one at Daniel, and one at Damian*
T3chn0Namagomi: !!!
THENinjaRabbi: o_o
T3chn0Namagomi: (don't forget that Kamos has ranks in Missile evasion)
Jak Snide: (Gah! Git! *rolls mutliple dice*)
Jak Snide: (And gotcha Doug)
T3chn0Namagomi: (4 ranks)
FFFan80: EEEP!
T3chn0Namagomi: Shit!
XStrike8: e.e Damn.
Jak Snide: *Kamos hurls himself to the side, the bolt thudding into the wall right where he was...*
T3chn0Namagomi: !!That was close...
Jak Snide: *Danial flinches...and the bolt flies over his shoulder, impacting harmlessly into a wall...*
FFFan80: <_<;;;; @_@;;; *phew*
Jak Snide: *...and Damian is pitched off his feet, the bolt pertruding from his chest, and causing extreme pain*
Jak Snide: (30 damage, -2 general penalty)
XStrike8: GAAAH. >.O;;;
T3chn0Namagomi: Shit...o.o
THENinjaRabbi: Damn.
T3chn0Namagomi: Good thing I got out of the way.
THENinjaRabbi: *draws Redemption*
XStrike8: You.... bastards.... e.e
Arch mage144: *the dwarves grunt again, seemingly pleased with the results, and begin to reload, hoping their targets will stay complacent and die quietly*
FFFan80: o\/o *...no way in hell*
T3chn0Namagomi: ....*checks to see the presence and location of shadows in the room*
THENinjaRabbi: *looks at the targets, trying to see if rings are on the dwarves*
Arch mage144: *there are shadows cast by the candles on the wall*
Arch mage144: *Squintz spots a flash of a ring*
THENinjaRabbi: ..They have rings!
THENinjaRabbi: I think...that we might be able to keep them alive...
T3chn0Namagomi: *checks for the presence in relativity to the location of the dwarves*
Jak Snide: (Damian, being a little occupied with the shaft of wood in his chest, misses his go, and thus Kamos gets to shoot shit!)
Arch mage144: *the dwarves cast shadows, if you want to cast Shadowbind*
T3chn0Namagomi: (Not Shadowbind)
T3chn0Namagomi: *closes his eyes, and focuses....*
FFFan80: >_>;;; ...that's gonna be hard if they're trying to shoot us to death...
T3chn0Namagomi: *attempting to twist and contort the shadows in the room to somehow encase the dwarves, or jam the crossbows*
T3chn0Namagomi: (Shape Shadow)
Arch mage144: (Figured)
THENinjaRabbi: Perhaps.
XStrike8: (I don't suppose Damian will be able to use Chasing Shadows Stance now, can he. ^_^;;;; )
THENinjaRabbi: But I thought you would like to keep them alive.
XStrike8: e.<;;;
Jak Snide: *One of the Duegar is encased in a block of darkness, the stout humanoid not even getting a chance to react*
THENinjaRabbi: (Ah! Duegar! Makes sense.)
Jak Snide: (Yes, eejits. There are more to underdark races than drow. =P)
T3chn0Namagomi: (How much MP did this cost?)
Jak Snide: (12)
T3chn0Namagomi: (Okay)
XStrike8: (I figured as much.)
THENinjaRabbi: (Well, scuse me, Sir Jak.)
Jak Snide: (It's okay, worm. XD j/k)
THENinjaRabbi: (XD Back to RP!)
Jak Snide: *One of the Duegar reloads his crossbow....*
Jak Snide: (Danial's turn)
Arch mage144: (Daniel.)
Jak Snide: (Sorry! ^_^;; )
FFFan80: o.@ IM: Ack!
XStrike8: (Alex = Tired, jes?)
THENinjaRabbi: (It's 5 AM, right?)
FFFan80: >\/> *rushes the one reloading, goes for a swing*
Jak Snide: (Alex = high on caffiene. @_@)
Jak Snide: *The deep dwarf simply ducks under the blow, displaying ample agilty for one so stout*
Jak Snide: (Go Squintz, idle of Amelia!)
T3chn0Namagomi: (Idol)
Jak Snide: (....it's 4am. XP)
XStrike8: (*uses Grammar Nazi powers*)
T3chn0Namagomi: (Sorry)
THENinjaRabbi: *Deciding to chance it, goes to chop off the hand with the ring on it for one of the dwarves* IM: Dear Mithra, guide my hand...
THENinjaRabbi: YAH!
Jak Snide: *Squintz moves like lightening, his blade flashing down the dwarve's side, a burst of crimson signalling the severing of his ring hand*
THENinjaRabbi: IM: Did I do it? >_<
Jak Snide: *The only unhindered Duegar reloads his crossbow...*
Jak Snide: (Damian)
THENinjaRabbi: IM: YES! WOOOOO~
THENinjaRabbi: *!
Arch mage144: *the duegar missing his hand...and ring...yelps in pain, doubling over onto his knees and clutching his bloody stump of a hand*
XStrike8: *summons up his remaining strength and gets to his feet*
XStrike8: Hm..... *starts the motions for his Chasing Shadows Stance as he chants*
XStrike8: Blur
T3chn0Namagomi: *starts chanting*Energies beyond life...beyond reason...beyond physical existence....
Jak Snide: *As Damian's stance shifts, so does his image, the edges of his form dulling, and his features become a mere blur of colour*
Jak Snide: (Kamos)
XStrike8: (Yes I am stacking effects. Yes, I am a bad person.)
Jak Snide: (Shaun: You took a bolt to the chest. You're bad, but smart.)
T3chn0Namagomi: Lash out against the unworthy, and make the first blood spill! GITHU!
T3chn0Namagomi: (Githu against, well, who else? The last remaining one)
T3chn0Namagomi: *red energy crackled, forming in Kamos' hand, and shot straight for the last duergar*
XStrike8: (I would use Encroaching Darkness, but that's not as effective overall.)
Jak Snide: *...and the bolt blows a hole clean in the poor dwarf's chest, the corpse collasping to it's knees, then onto it's front, quite dead, and smokin'*
THENinjaRabbi: ...there.
THENinjaRabbi: *uses Healmore on Damian* Heal thineself.
T3chn0Namagomi: You don't attack me and get away with it unscathed.
Arch mage144: *meanwhile, the handless duegar is horribly distraught*
THENinjaRabbi: Sir...*To Dan* Make sure that our wounded friend is okay.
Arch mage144: D: ...G...GET AWAY FROM ME!
THENinjaRabbi: ...listen, I'm sorry about that. But that ring was controlling you.
XStrike8: Thank you, Sir. e.e
T3chn0Namagomi: ...Well, he's normal.
Arch mage144: D: GET AWAY!
FFFan80: *approaches the dwarf* >.>
FFFan80: ....?
FFFan80: <.<
FFFan80: 6.6
FFFan80: >.>
FFFan80: ...what the hell...? O_o;
Arch mage144: *the dwarf scurries over to a corner, burying himself in it*
T3chn0Namagomi: .....
XStrike8: As we thought. They're being controlled.
FFFan80: Guys... something weird's going on here....
FFFan80: o_o;;; ...they're all IDENTICAL
THENinjaRabbi: ...what's all identical?
XStrike8: Identical how?
Arch mage144: *you know...Damian has a bolt in his chest...as he didn't remove it before being healed*
FFFan80: As in IDENTICAL
XStrike8: (Point)
T3chn0Namagomi: Hmm....looks like our friend enjoys controlling people.
FFFan80: >_>;; ...look at them.
THENinjaRabbi: (Meh. He'll live. Maybe.)
FFFan80: Right down to the hairs on their bodies...
XStrike8: *looks down at the bolt in his chest* o.o
XStrike8: That can't be good.
FFFan80: *casts a cure spell on the um... 'stumped' dwarf*
FFFan80: <.<
Arch mage144: *the duegar in the corner suddenly disappears*
FFFan80: o.o;;; *...Damian too*
XStrike8: Err... Sir Daniel...
THENinjaRabbi: ...o_O
FFFan80: ...???
Jak Snide: (Freeze)
XStrike8: Do you happen to have a spare healing spell? Because I'll need one in a moment.
XStrike8: (Hm?)
T3chn0Namagomi: What the hell?!
T3chn0Namagomi: How the hell did it disappear like that?!
Arch mage144: *a trail of blood drops appears on the floor...*
Jak Snide: (Erm, freeze....)
THENinjaRabbi: ...o.o
Jak Snide: *THUD*
T3chn0Namagomi: ?!
FFFan80: (STOP RP'ING A MOMENT)
Jak Snide: *Kamos suddenly notices that there's a bolt sticking out the front of his chest...and a searing pain in his back*
T3chn0Namagomi: o.<
FFFan80: O_@
T3chn0Namagomi: SHIIIIIIIII----
XStrike8: Wha? o.O
Jak Snide: (66 damage, and a lung busted)
THENinjaRabbi: Holy crap!
Arch mage144: *the dwarf appears to have broken out of its shadowy prison*
THENinjaRabbi: O_O
Arch mage144: *and is pointing a hand crossbow at the chimera, eyes narrowed*
FFFan80: CRAP! O_@
Jak Snide: (-4 general penalty to Kamos)
T3chn0Namagomi: I knew....I should have.....killed....him.......
XStrike8: e.e
Arch mage144: *meanwhile, the dwarf grins coldly, reloading...*
XStrike8: (Still on combat turns?)
Jak Snide: (Dan)
FFFan80: >_> <_< O_@;;; IM: SHIT WHAT DO I DO NOW?!
T3chn0Namagomi: Kill....him....
FFFan80: .....
FFFan80: .........
FFFan80: *chants* >.<
FFFan80: (Cure/Kamos)
Jak Snide: *Kamos glows a soft white, the Valthi feeling his wound close somewhat...around the bolt. Still short of breath, but a step further away from death's door*
Jak Snide: (33 HP healed, Kamos is on 49 HP)
Jak Snide: (Squintz)
THENinjaRabbi: *weilding his blade, he aims to kill, chopping* HAI!
Arch mage144: (...high Nekonian for YES?)
THENinjaRabbi: (...more of a battle cry.)
Arch mage144: (*chuckles*)
Jak Snide: (*chuckles in a very ebil manner*)
THENinjaRabbi: (I don't like that.)
XStrike8: (I've got my own evil.)
Jak Snide: *Squintz brings has blade down hard...and the Duegar nimbly darts aside, raising his crossbow....*
Jak Snide: *...and Squintz is pitched onto his front, a bolt in the back*
Jak Snide: (27 damage)
XStrike8: o.o
THENinjaRabbi: Fuck...o_o
FFFan80: O_@ #@$@#$
Jak Snide: (Critical miss on the paladin's part.)
Jak Snide: (Damian)
XStrike8: Funny bastard. *his right hand begins glowing a deep purple*
XStrike8: Try this. *tosses several shard-shaped "pieces" of the darkness at the Duergar's face*
XStrike8: (Shadow Skean, and he's maintaining the Chasing Shadows stance)
Jak Snide: (Holy shit...)
XStrike8: (Even more evil, I am. Stacking defense and an offense that ignores the stacking. ^_^)
Jak Snide: *The darkness simply disipates as it hits the Deugar, the humanoid barely shaken by the spell*
FFFan80: ..............
THENinjaRabbi: >_<
XStrike8: *grins*
XStrike8: You like that, don't you?
XStrike8: e.e
Jak Snide: (Kamos can act, but with a -3 general penalty. Also, he can't chant)
T3chn0Namagomi: *gets up, straining....*
XStrike8: That's allright. I have many tricks.
T3chn0Namagomi: *adrenaline and pissiness pumping through his veins, he loads and cocks his shotgun while dashing toward the last dwarf, all in one swift motion....and then opens fire....*
T3chn0Namagomi: (Melee range shot)
T3chn0Namagomi: (Shotgun)
Jak Snide: *As Kamos pulls the trigger, the dwarf's luck ends. Explosively, as it's entire upper torso is demolished by the attack, blasting what remains of the thing across the room, and giving the walls a new red coat of paint*
FFFan80: ........
FFFan80: >.< *WINCES*
T3chn0Namagomi: Fuck you.
Jak Snide: (Not even going to bother rolling for damage for that.)
Arch mage144: (Everyone gains 250 XP.)
T3chn0Namagomi: (And I learn to NOT LEAVE ANYTHING ALIVE)
THENinjaRabbi: *sighs with relief*
XStrike8: (Note, Damian levels)
THENinjaRabbi: *stands, and pulls the bolt from his back, ignoring the pain*
THENinjaRabbi: >____<
XStrike8: *does the same with his bolt* GAAAAH. >.O;;;
FFFan80: >_> *goes over to Squintz and Kamos (and Damian)*
FFFan80: 6_6;;; *does what he can for their injuries*
T3chn0Namagomi: *attempts to remove his bolt by force*
Arch mage144: (Is that Cure, 3x cast?)
T3chn0Namagomi: (Well, wait)
XStrike8: Forget what I said about the morning. -.- *catches his breath*
XStrike8: This is turning out to be an utterly horrible day.
T3chn0Namagomi: (is the bolt sticking out of just one side?)
Arch mage144: (It's through his body.)
Jak Snide: (Indeed)
Arch mage144: (You can remove it, but it's not going to feel good.)
Jak Snide: (Through his right lung)
FFFan80: (...I take it a cure spell isn't gonna help that too much >_>; )
Jak Snide: (Until you get that lung fixed a proper, it's -1 general penalty, even at full HP)
T3chn0Namagomi: (Okay, so the head's inside the body)
Arch mage144: (A cure spell will patch up the health issues...but he's still "wounded.")
THENinjaRabbi: *kneels over* Damn...
XStrike8: Everyone allright?
T3chn0Namagomi: (Or is the head sticking out through the back?)
T3chn0Namagomi: No.
Jak Snide: (Doug. The head of the bolt is sticking out of Kamos' front)
FFFan80: >.< *ignoring logic, Dan does what he can to get everyone to full health*
FFFan80: (So a cure x3 if necessary)
Arch mage144: (Alright.)
T3chn0Namagomi: (Okay)
T3chn0Namagomi: *attempts to snap the head off of the bolt*
Arch mage144: *Kamos succeeds in doing so*
Arch mage144: *he also feels his wounds close up, and his bleeding stops*
Arch mage144: *same goes for Squintz*
THENinjaRabbi: well...that was certainly different from the other doors..
Arch mage144: *Damian isn't wounded in any significant way, but he does have a bolt lodged in him*
T3chn0Namagomi: *and then attempts to pull the rest of the bolt out*
FFFan80: *falls to knee* v.v;;; ...th..that was a lot of...*huff*...magic...
XStrike8: (Note: *pulled his out a while back*)
XStrike8: XStrike8 (10:34:02 PM): *does the same with his bolt* GAAAAH. >.O;;;
XStrike8: (Whoops. Should've put that in parenthesis.)
XStrike8: (Or in the other chat)
THENinjaRabbi: *Stands and sheaths sword* Where did that other dwarf go?
Arch mage144: (Whoops.)
Arch mage144: *...there is a trail of blood drops leading to the hallway...*
THENinjaRabbi: *looks at the blood on the floor*
Arch mage144: *in the corner of the room there is what looks like a double door, as to a closet*
FFFan80: >_> ...I still want to know why they looked identical...
XStrike8: At this point, I'd rather not worry about it.
THENinjaRabbi: wait...let's check that door...*opens it, warily*
T3chn0Namagomi: *attempts to pull the rest of the bolt out*
Arch mage144: *there's also a lot of rather messy dwarf chunks strewn across the room*
XStrike8: As long as I can find who is behind this and wring his neck for this indignity.
Arch mage144: *Kamos pulls the bolt out...it kind of hurts*
XStrike8: e.e
T3chn0Namagomi: >.<
Arch mage144: *Squintz opens the door...it is indeed a closet...*
Arch mage144: *...however...*
Arch mage144: ...*Squintz begins to glow red for a moment*
FFFan80: ....O_o ...the heck?
T3chn0Namagomi: Damn...what the hell?!
Jak Snide: (BOOM!)
THENinjaRabbi: ...*glowing* Dammit.
Arch mage144: *the glow quickly winks out, and the paladin spots a bit of paper poking out from a shirt pocket in the closet*
Jak Snide: (Or not. =P)
THENinjaRabbi: Telll Kae I love her...huh?
THENinjaRabbi: ...o_o
THENinjaRabbi: *pulls out the paper*
THENinjaRabbi: o.o
XStrike8: Hmm...
XStrike8: What's going on?
Arch mage144: *the paper reads, in crimson ink, "race"*
THENinjaRabbi: ...race.
XStrike8: Race? o.o
THENinjaRabbi: that's what it reads.
THENinjaRabbi: I suppose it's part of the command word.
FFFan80: ....hmmm....
THENinjaRabbi: ..if not the whole thing.
T3chn0Namagomi: ...I doubt it...
T3chn0Namagomi: He said that he put the pieces throughout the mansion
FFFan80: He did say there were multiple words... >_>
T3chn0Namagomi: So....we've got one more, at least
T3chn0Namagomi: (AFK, Benkui)
THENinjaRabbi: Well, let's get going.
THENinjaRabbi: is everyone healed?
XStrike8: Could be better. -.-
Jak Snide: (...says the man on full HP)
XStrike8: (It's not the HP. It's the PP. Pride points.)
Jak Snide: (Heh.)
T3chn0Namagomi: (Back)
T3chn0Namagomi: Not all the way, but I guess this'll have to do. I'm warning you people, though. I'm not leaving anything alive.
THENinjaRabbi: ok...
THENinjaRabbi: *looks at the blood on the floor*
FFFan80: ...how considerate of you... >_>;;
Arch mage144: *the blood trail leads into the hallway...*
THENinjaRabbi: ...it's a nice trail.
T3chn0Namagomi: You SAW what the hell happened to me, damnit.
FFFan80: 6.6 *notices as well*
T3chn0Namagomi: .....
XStrike8: YES, and they're all controlled by someone, Kamos.
THENinjaRabbi: *follows the blood*
T3chn0Namagomi: *attempts to follow the blood trail*
FFFan80: ...is it safe to follow that?
FFFan80: o_o;;; I mean...
THENinjaRabbi: is anything here really 'safe?'
FFFan80: whereever they headed off to, they're gonna know we're coming.
Arch mage144: *the blood trail leads out into the middle of the living room...where a dead duegar lies*
FFFan80: ......
XStrike8: Wouldn't you rather get ahold of the guy in charge and beat him to a pulp than kill things that he controlls all day? e.e
FFFan80: ....point...
FFFan80: ...point too... >_>;
THENinjaRabbi: hm.
THENinjaRabbi: Looks like he died anyways.
T3chn0Namagomi: I will kill in self-defense
THENinjaRabbi: So much for saving lives.
T3chn0Namagomi: End of story.
XStrike8: Hn.
T3chn0Namagomi: Now...where should we go now....
FFFan80: v.v;;; ...I wish we'd had a chance to talk to that one in the corner...
FFFan80: <_<;; ...something's not right with these dwarf things...
Arch mage144: *there's one door on the other end of the hallway, the glass door in the back, and a door on the other side of the room*
FFFan80: ...another glass one.
Arch mage144: (You're in the living room/foyer.)
Arch mage144: (It's the same glass door.)
FFFan80: (>.< *THUD*)
THENinjaRabbi: Well, you can choose.
Arch mage144: *a pitterpattering noise can be heard*
Arch mage144: *little streaks of water run down the glass in the back...it's definitely raining*
FFFan80: ....?
FFFan80: <.<
FFFan80: ....perfect ~_~;
T3chn0Namagomi: Hmm.....
FFFan80: A creepy house... AND rain.
THENinjaRabbi: ....it was SUCH a nice morning, though.
FFFan80: o.o Indeed.
T3chn0Namagomi: Who cares now?
XStrike8: Ever have the feeling the Gods were laughing at you?
T3chn0Namagomi: No.
FFFan80: YES e_e
XStrike8: >.> I know one that's probably having a good time right about now. e.e;;;
FFFan80: IM: How about demons? ^-^
FFFan80: >.<+
XStrike8: IM: Yes, I can hear you quite well, thank you. Sucks to be you, then, doesn't it? >:D
THENinjaRabbi: Well, let's go for that other door. *opens the door across from him*
Arch mage144: (Other side of the living room, you mean?)
THENinjaRabbi: (Jes.)
T3chn0Namagomi: *follows*
Arch mage144: *Squintz pulls the door open with a creak...the hinges haven't been oiled in a while, it would seem*
FFFan80: *follows, keeping back a bit and checking over the room* <.< >.>
Arch mage144: *the next room contains a long, covered dining table with chairs*
THENinjaRabbi: *winces at the noise* >_o
Arch mage144: *against the back wall are a set of cabinets, one with a glass door that allows the china stored inside to be clearly seen*
T3chn0Namagomi: Great.
T3chn0Namagomi: *looks around for anything potentially threatening*
XStrike8: You would expect the owner of this place to at LEAST leave food.
XStrike8: You know, so they can poison us while ghosts float about the room or something. e.e
Arch mage144: *unless Kamos considers china tea sets and dishes threatening, he has nothing to worry about*
T3chn0Namagomi: Hmm........
THENinjaRabbi: well, nothing here.
T3chn0Namagomi: *checks out the cabinets*
Arch mage144: *Over to the right is a kitchen area*
Arch mage144: *the cabinets contain dishes, silverware, napkins, and the like*
T3chn0Namagomi: Hmph....
T3chn0Namagomi: *treads carefully to the kitchen, on guard for anything, and on the lookout as well*
Arch mage144: *on the opposite side of the room, a hallway extends from the kitchen*
Arch mage144: *the kitchen contains typical fixtures, including a sink and stove*
XStrike8: So did anyone make dinner plans?
THENinjaRabbi: not I.
T3chn0Namagomi: *looks for anything that breathes and is not in the party*
Arch mage144: *the countertop is made of polished wood, and a chopping board sits upon it*
XStrike8: *astrally scans the room yet again*
FFFan80: >_>;; ...I don't think eating anything in here would be smart...
Arch mage144: *with a rather large knife resting on the board*
T3chn0Namagomi: Hmmm.....
XStrike8: Well, I must say I'm getting a bit hungry. Too bad nothing here is probably edible.
T3chn0Namagomi: Ugh....
T3chn0Namagomi: Thank Nikumu I remembered....
T3chn0Namagomi: *reaches into his trenchcoat, pulls out a K-ration*
T3chn0Namagomi: (Yes. The ones that taste like crap)
Arch mage144: (...mmm...crap.)
XStrike8: What's that? <.<
T3chn0Namagomi: K-ration
XStrike8: And that would be....?
THENinjaRabbi: o.o
T3chn0Namagomi: Tastes like shit, and it's not that good in terms of nutrition, but it's something to eat.
XStrike8: Wonderful, I'm sure.
FFFan80: ....weee... >_>
T3chn0Namagomi: And it keeps you alive.
THENinjaRabbi: Well, I say we go somewhere else.
T3chn0Namagomi: *well, eats it*
Arch mage144: *mmm, yummy!*
FFFan80: Indeed.
Arch mage144: *there is a hallway extending down from the kitchen, or you could always go back*
T3chn0Namagomi: *once done eating it, walks down the hallway, being cautious about, well....lots of things*
T3chn0Namagomi: *namely anything that tries to kill him
Arch mage144: *at the end of the hallway are stairs up*
Arch mage144: *there are two doors along the right wall and one on the left*
T3chn0Namagomi: ....Damnit....
T3chn0Namagomi: What the hell is with this guy?
FFFan80: It's a big house, Kamos.
THENinjaRabbi: ...he likes doors.
T3chn0Namagomi: *carefully opens the door on the right*
Arch mage144: *there is a door at the end of the hallway as well...and it's got a huge rune on it*
Arch mage144: *the door on the right creaks open...*
Arch mage144: *...and Kamos is looking into a laundry room, with a basin, soap, and a washboard*
XStrike8: Doors for everyone?
T3chn0Namagomi: ...
XStrike8: Well, what'd you find?
T3chn0Namagomi: *looks around for anything out of the ordinary (paper, etc.)
XStrike8: Sir Kamos?
T3chn0Namagomi: It's a laundry room
Arch mage144: *...it's a laundry room, no paper*
T3chn0Namagomi: Anyone have any dirty clothes that they want to take care of?
THENinjaRabbi: ..not right now.
T3chn0Namagomi: Alright then.....
T3chn0Namagomi: *carefully tries to open the other door*
THENinjaRabbi: *opens the door next to it*
THENinjaRabbi: *or not*
XStrike8: Hmm...
Arch mage144: *Kamos's endeavor reveals...*
FFFan80: o.o ........
Arch mage144: *...a small washroom and toilet*
XStrike8: Nothing yet?
T3chn0Namagomi: *rolls eyes*
T3chn0Namagomi: *looks around*
Arch mage144: (Stairs ahead, door with sigil ahead, door to the left.)
XStrike8: Take the stairs, perhaps?
T3chn0Namagomi: *looks around the bathroom for paper*
Arch mage144: *THERE IS NO PAPER*
T3chn0Namagomi: (Sorry)
Arch mage144: (XD)
Arch mage144: (*is laughing*)
THENinjaRabbi: (XD)
T3chn0Namagomi: ...Hmm.....I'll try the stairs, yes.
XStrike8: Anyone wanna bet that that door with the big symbol on it is the room we need to open?
THENinjaRabbi: Probably.
T3chn0Namagomi: I will.
THENinjaRabbi: (Gah..I gotta go...real soon.)
T3chn0Namagomi: Why else would it have a big thingy on it?
Jak Snide: (Gah...)
Arch mage144: (That's OK.)
Arch mage144: (We can always pause and pick up...tomorrow?)
XStrike8: (Tomorrow is good, jes.)
THENinjaRabbi: (sure. I'm only working until 3.)
FFFan80: (...er... >_>;;;; )
Arch mage144: (No?)
Jak Snide: (You'll have to do so without me. ^_^;; )
XStrike8: (Dave?)
FFFan80: (...I have D&D tomorrow afternooon @_@; )
XStrike8: (Rawr. ;_; )
Arch mage144: (Whoo, that's not helpful. Next weekend?)
FFFan80: (4:30 - 11:00)
T3chn0Namagomi: (Tomorrow is....sunday....)
THENinjaRabbi: (poopies.)
T3chn0Namagomi: (Next weekend, I guess.....)
FFFan80: (Sorry v.v)
XStrike8: (I can wait for good things, I suppose.)
Jak Snide: (Brian: You Nikumu RP is on Friday next week, right?)
Arch mage144: (Don't worry about it.)
Arch mage144: (It can be Saturday. ^^)
THENinjaRabbi: (*nod* ok, next weekend. ^_^)
Arch mage144: (Kate will be busy next week studying...)
FFFan80: (Next week, I have Friday Night, Saturday morning, Anytime Sunday and Monday, for now anyways)
Arch mage144: (Friday night then.)
THENinjaRabbi: (I'll see about Friday.)
