Arch mage144: Get him in here.
EbilRyuuzoku has left the room.
Arch mage144: And...>_<

EbilRyuuzoku: Herro ^_^
EbilRyuuzoku: GRRRRR
EbilRyuuzoku: Fucking network stop lagging me!
Arch mage144: ......
Idran1701: Hey,all.
FFFan80: Hey Idran.
XStrike8: Lo.
Arch mage144: I was so looking forward to this, and I'm not letting anything spoil it.
EbilRyuuzoku: I think it's gone now..
EbilRyuuzoku: Me too ;_;
Arch mage144: Not your network connection, not morons, and not my hands hurting.\
XStrike8: ... morons?
Idran1701: What morons?
EbilRyuuzoku: *looking foward too it ever since that character sheet*
FFFan80: WOOT! :-]
XStrike8: No no, I'll live through that.
EbilRyuuzoku: Zul...
XStrike8: GIVE THEM TO ME. >:3
XStrike8: I'm in a "GOOD" mood today.
FFFan80: ...BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY.
EbilRyuuzoku: Anyways, let's not think about those right now...
FFFan80: Rp, yay ^_^
Arch mage144: ...and I want to stabber EKDS.
FFFan80: *lurks with the fuzzy bunny*
EbilRyuuzoku: GURPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111111111ONEONEONEOMG
XStrike8: Doc and LMB are similar in personality, and I might point out that they man well.
EbilRyuuzoku: What's up with EKDS?
XStrike8: *mean
Arch mage144: Doc says we should pitch Philsys and use The Window for everything.
XStrike8: Doc needs to give me some of that weed he's smoking. >:p
EbilRyuuzoku: I think Doc has been drinking tonight or something..
Idran1701: Why? I mean, it seems like a good system from what I read, but why shake things up that much?
KnightsofSquare: Because Doc doesn't like PhilSys.
XStrike8: Brian: End that debate. Here's how.
KnightsofSquare: ...didn't Doc introduce The Window to the forum?
EbilRyuuzoku: Let's just forget about all of that for now..
FFFan80: <.< >.> Indeed o.o
XStrike8: Tell him to solve the problems that he and LMB sees BEFORE complaining about it.
XStrike8: AND use PS to do it.
XStrike8: in other words, a nice tall glass of STFU
EbilRyuuzoku: I've been waiting all fucking week for this and I'm excited as hell
KnightsofSquare: That explains it.
XStrike8: SO LETS GET STARTED.
FFFan80: INDEED :D
Arch mage144: OKAY.
XStrike8: Err....
Arch mage144: ^_^
XStrike8: Whenever you're ready, naturally.
Arch mage144: *puts on appropriate music*
FFFan80: *nukes some lurker popcorn*
FFFan80: 6.6 ...mmmm, nice and lurky... ^.^ *lurks*
EbilRyuuzoku: *puts on Smartbomb*
EbilRyuuzoku: BT! ^_^
Arch mage144: Idran, you there?
Idran1701: Yeah, I'm here. Just waiting to begin.
Arch mage144: OK. As usual, not that it really matters, my text will be GM grey. *chuckles* The location of the PCs is New Nekonia, currently--if your character isn't a native, invent a reason for them to be there.
Arch mage144: <RP!>
EbilRyuuzoku: Yay *has already a reason*
EbilRyuuzoku: <Genivive Sarith>
Idran1701: <Michael Seldon>
XStrike8: <Darian Torn>
EbilRyuuzoku: (Hit it Mr. GM!)
Arch mage144: *Our...er...well, currently monitored material beings happen to currently exist on the streets of New Nekonia, each seeking...something...will they find it?*
Arch mage144: *the streets are relatively quiet today, with fairly few people milling about, though the occasional nekojin ambles by, often in the company of friends*
EbilRyuuzoku: IM: Now what was that archmage's name again...
XStrike8: *yawns, gets up from his hiding spot and takes a look at the people around him*
Idran1701: *hiding near a building*
Arch mage144: *the weather is a bit cloudy, but other than that, it's a fairly nice day, and it's roughly 2 PM*
EbilRyuuzoku: *strolls through the streets, checking building addresses and family names*
XStrike8: IM: Lets see... suckers suckers.... >.>
XStrike8: IM: ... nope. Ain't got money. Not that one, 'es probably never SEEN money....
Arch mage144: *the number of unsuspecting victims for the traveling thieves is remarkably low, though every man, woman and child passing by is vulnerable...*
EbilRyuuzoku has left the room.
EbilRyuuzoku has entered the room.
XStrike8: (*Kate's network gets x1 Stabbering, redeemable in the future*)
Idran1701: *spots Darian*
EbilRyuuzoku: *walking down the street, checking building addresses and family names*
XStrike8: <.< IM: Ah... lets see... that 'un right there looks good...
EbilRyuuzoku: IM: Morden...kaiden...wasn't it....hmmm...
Idran1701: IM: Ah, he could make a nice mark. Wonder what he's got? And why's he looking at everyone?
XStrike8: >.> IM: And that one right th... shit... play it cool now...
XStrike8: *starts trying to blend in with the local folk as they pass*
Arch mage144: *as an interesting note, Darian and Michael are both very near a local tavern--a sign hangs from the eves, proclaiming proudly that the "Cat's Meow" is the place to be*
Idran1701: *walks quickly towards Darian, "accidentally" bumping into him*
Idran1701: Oh, excuse me there.
XStrike8: *bumped* No problem no problem...
XStrike8: >.> *checks his purse*
Idran1701: *pickpocket attempt*
EbilRyuuzoku: (XD)
KnightsofSquare: (Ouch. Autofail.)
Idran1701: (Who said he was trying for money?)
KnightsofSquare: (Shaun's character's been around. :P)
XStrike8: (BRB)
EbilRyuuzoku: IM: Mordenkaiden! That's it....
EbilRyuuzoku: *checks houses*
Idran1701: (What's Darian look like, btw?)
Arch mage144: *...and, amusingly, Michael fails to extract anything from his "victim"...*
Idran1701: IM: Let's try another tactic. This one can't fail.
Idran1701: Ah, I see you've found my pack. Thanks.
XStrike8: (Black-haired, wearing somewhat heavy clothes)
Idran1701: Mind if I take it back?
XStrike8: Oh, sure sure... *hands him his pack back*
XStrike8: *a clinking sound is heard from below Michael*
EbilRyuuzoku: IM: This isn't very helpful, it will be better for me to ask someone anyways.
Idran1701: ...Wait, this really is my pack. Hey!
XStrike8: o.o Oh, hey mister, looks like ya dropped somethin.
Arch mage144: *on the ground below Michael, there is a coin*
Idran1701: ...OK.
XStrike8: Well, see ya later.
Idran1701: *picks up coin*
XStrike8: *walks off, looking for a mark*
Idran1701: Huh, how'd that get there?
Idran1701: Anyway...
Idran1701: *also returns to looking*
Arch mage144: *both Michael and Darian spot a sign on the tavern wall...*
XStrike8: IM: Ah... there we go...
XStrike8: IM: ... hm. Sign wasn't there earlier. Must be some new promotion or somethin....
XStrike8: *looks*
Arch mage144: The sign reads:
EbilRyuuzoku: IM: Hm. Tavern. If anyone knows anything about how to find people in this city, they would be in the tavern.
Arch mage144: "Gardeners wanted for a very high class establishment. Good pay. Contact Hitashi (an address is given). No prior experience needed."
XStrike8: IM: Gardeners, eh? ....
Idran1701: *to Darian* Hey, what's that sign say?
XStrike8: ^_^ IM: Now this's more my style.
XStrike8: Heeey.... >.>
XStrike8: *scoot scoot*
XStrike8: Says somethin 'bout some gardeners needed at... someplace or another.
EbilRyuuzoku: *easily locates the tavern*
Arch mage144: (Michael is assumed to be literate, by the way, as you didn't take the illiteracy disadvantage.)
Arch mage144: *Genivive, of course, notes the sign as well*
Idran1701: (Oh, OK. I thought you needed to take something to be literate.)
Idran1701: Hmm, so it does.
EbilRyuuzoku: IM: Gardening? Odd thing to be advertising for in a tavern... *chuckles and heads for the bar*
XStrike8: >.> IM: Easy money gettin away...
Idran1701: *looks inside the tavern*
XStrike8: *follows Genevive into the tavern*
EbilRyuuzoku: Excuse me? *addresses the bartender*
Arch mage144: B: Yes? *blinks*
Arch mage144: *the bartender purrs softly*
EbilRyuuzoku: Do you know where I could find a man by the name of Mordenkaiden in this city?
XStrike8: IM: Mordenkaiden? 9.9 Do I know that name.... eh. Doesn't sound familiar offhand...
Arch mage144: *the bar is full of people, unlike the streets--nekojin, yes, but also humans, elves, and other races, excepting inujin, which presumably have their own territory staked out in other areas*
Idran1701: *enters the tavern, and sits down at a table next to the first patron he sees*
Arch mage144: *the area is dimly lit, and the din makes it difficult to hear too much that isn't practically yelled*
Arch mage144: Man: *looks at Michael* Uh...hello there. *takes a drink from a mug*
Arch mage144: B: Mordenkainen? There's a fellow named Mordenkainen around here?
Idran1701: Hi. Don't mind me, just scouting the tavern out.
EbilRyuuzoku: Well yes, that's what my mentor told me. *blinks*
Arch mage144: B: Sorry, never heard of him...eh...should I 've?
Arch mage144: M: ...right then...*peers over his mug at Michael*
EbilRyuuzoku: Well supposedly he's a famous archmage that lives in these parts...
XStrike8: IM: Hmm... *finds a good spot to lurk in*
Idran1701: Say, did you hear the one about the two monks and the farmer?
Arch mage144: B: ...oh, MORDENKAINEN! I thought you were talkin' about...uh...somebody else.
Arch mage144: M: ...nope.
Idran1701: Darn it. I've wanted to hear it forever.
EbilRyuuzoku: IM: Well no wonder I couldn't find him...
Arch mage144: M: *gives Michael a quizzical look*
EbilRyuuzoku: I guess I was pronouncing it wrong the whole time, silly me. *blushes with embarrassment*
XStrike8: IM: Any good marks in here besides that lady over there.... >.>
XStrike8: IM: letsee....
Arch mage144: B: Nah, it's fine. So, you're lookin' for Mordenkainen, are you?
EbilRyuuzoku: *is quite a lady too, rather attractive*
EbilRyuuzoku: *nods* That I am. ^_^
Idran1701: *starts staring at person's shoulder*
Idran1701: You've got something there.
Arch mage144: B: He's a good one, yes...er, I don't know if he's in town or not. Those mage types like to wander, y'know.
Arch mage144: M: I've what?
XStrike8: IM: Dammit... nothin...
Idran1701: There's something on your shoulder right there. Let me get it off.
EbilRyuuzoku: Yes, I know this well, being one myself... *laughs lightly*
Idran1701: *starts brushing his shoulder*
Arch mage144: M: ...uh...hey!
Idran1701: *while he is distracted, slips the coin into his pocket*
Arch mage144: (*rolls some dice*)
Arch mage144: *and the man is now one coin richer*
Idran1701: There, it's gone now. You're welcome!
Arch mage144: M: ...you're a weird guy.
Idran1701: *gets up and walks over to the bar*
EbilRyuuzoku: Where would he normally be living if he was currently in town?
Arch mage144: B: *distracted with Genivive* So, uh...well, he lives in a big house down the street. Beautiful place. Got a grand garden with a pond and everything.
XStrike8: IM: waitaminute, did he say garden? o.o
Idran1701: *yelling louder than necessary* Hey, barkeep! I'll have a mug of your most elven-like human wine!
XStrike8: *tries to remember the address that was posted on the sign outside the door*
Arch mage144: B: ...*rubs his ears*
EbilRyuuzoku: Ah, excellent. I'm sure I won't be able to miss it... ^_^
Arch mage144: B: It's on Tiger's Eye Avenue.
Arch mage144: *the name is familiar*
Arch mage144: B: *walks over to Michael* ...what the...yeah, a wine, right...
EbilRyuuzoku: Thank you. ^_^
Idran1701: All right, thanks! *not understanding, he leaves for Tiger's Eye Avenue*
Arch mage144: B: *goes in the back room*
EbilRyuuzoku: IM: Well that was easy.
Arch mage144: (*almost spits root beer*)
XStrike8: *walks back outside to have a better look at the sign*
EbilRyuuzoku: (XD Oh jeeze...)
Arch mage144: *the sign reads exactly what it read before--and yes, indeed, the house is on Tiger's Eye Avenue*
XStrike8: IM: Well well... time to go roll in the dough... ^_^
XStrike8: *walks towards yon Avenue*
EbilRyuuzoku: *departs to go visit her contact*
Arch mage144: *Darian spots someone familiar looking as he goes down the street towards the avenue...*
XStrike8: IM: who the.... o.o
XStrike8: *gets back behinds something, just in case, and takes a peek*
Arch mage144: *...and he immediately recognizes it as the fellow he pickpocketed earlier*
EbilRyuuzoku: IM: Everyone is so friendly here ^_^
XStrike8: IM: Hmm....
Idran1701: IM: Where is that wine?
XStrike8: IM: <.< *sees Genevive*
XStrike8: *Walks over to her* Umm, excuse me, miss.
EbilRyuuzoku: Hmm?
XStrike8: I can't help but overhear that you're going to Tigers Eye Avenue for a bit of business.
Arch mage144: *Michael finds no wine, unfortunately--and is standing in front of what seems to be a very nice mansion, extremely large and well decorated with intricate carvings on the front porch*
EbilRyuuzoku: Oh, yes, a friend of mine lives there. Hopefully he's home at the moment...
XStrike8: Y'see, 's a mite dangerous down this way, if'n ya get my meanin.
Idran1701: IM: Hmm...They look rich. Maybe they've seen it.
Arch mage144: *the home's architecture is what would today be referred to as "gingerbread" style due to its intricacies*
Idran1701: *walks up to the door and knocks*
XStrike8: Perhaps I could offer ya a bit o' assistance. Just in case?
EbilRyuuzoku: Really? *lifts an eyebrow* The streets don't seem so crowded at the moment....
XStrike8: Seein as I'm goin th' same way m'self.
Arch mage144: *after a moment, a male nekojin comes to the door, wearing a very nice, well pressed suit--he looks rather high-class*
EbilRyuuzoku: Oh! Well it couldn't hurt since it isn't out of your way or anything...
XStrike8: Oh, but that's exactly m' point, ma'am. See, there's other things hangin round thataway.
Arch mage144: N: ...yes? =o.o=
Idran1701: Ah, hello. Have you seen a mug of wine around here?
Arch mage144: N: You don't serve wine in mugs. *blinks at the rather odd man on the porch*
Arch mage144: N: ...who are you?
Idran1701: I know I don't. The bartender does.
XStrike8: Glad t' be of service, m'lady.
Arch mage144: N: What bartender?
Idran1701: *looks at him as if he is daft*
Arch mage144: N: *looks very confused*
EbilRyuuzoku: IM: It's not like I couldn't take care of myself or anything, but I might as well humor him....
XStrike8: *walks alongside Genevive towards the avenue*
EbilRyuuzoku: *walk walk*
Idran1701: The bartender that told me the wine was here! Wait...You two are in kahoots, aren't you!
Arch mage144: *the other two arrive at the house, which is the address Darian was given, and it looks like the place of residence of a very grand and famous wizard or businessman*
EbilRyuuzoku: This must be his place...excellent. ^_^
Idran1701: I'm a paying customer of your establishment, and I deserve my mug of wine!
EbilRyuuzoku: *strolls up to the porch, noticing Micheal*
Arch mage144: *Genivive feels a hand in her pocket*
EbilRyuuzoku: IM: I hope we're not interrupting anything...
EbilRyuuzoku: ......
EbilRyuuzoku: .....why is there a hand in my pocket?
EbilRyuuzoku: *turns*
EbilRyuuzoku: ....that doesn't belong to me.....
Arch mage144: *and Darian is clearly invading her personal space*
XStrike8: *quickly pulls hand out* Pardon me miss. Force o' habit.
EbilRyuuzoku: e_e Really....
XStrike8: Times is hard round these parts... >.>;;;
XStrike8: Here ya go, love. *shows open hand to her*
XStrike8: Nothin up m' sleeves either.
XStrike8: IM: Well.. nothin much.
EbilRyuuzoku: Let me see the other hand then.
XStrike8: *shows both hands*
Arch mage144: (hold)
EbilRyuuzoku: Mmhmm...take off your jacket.
Arch mage144: N: ...er...look, wine doesn't come in mugs...and this isn't a bar!
XStrike8: If'n ya don't mind my rudeness, madam, I'd say you're the most beautiful thing that's ever crossed these ol' eyes. And if you'll pardon the advances of a rude ol' beggar like m'self...
XStrike8: ^_^;;;;
Arch mage144: N: I don't know who you are, but you seem dreadfully confused!
EbilRyuuzoku: I appriciate the flattery sir, now remove your jacket.
EbilRyuuzoku: IM: Or I'll remove it for you.
XStrike8: *calmly takes off his jacket* ^_^ See there, love, nothin to this old fool, eh?
Idran1701: Well, of course this isn't. Why would I come here for my wine if this was the bar?
EbilRyuuzoku: *holds out her hand* Let me see it.
Arch mage144: N: ....WHAT?
Idran1701: All right, if you don't have my wine, then prove it. Show me the wine you don't have.
Arch mage144: N: ...*holds out his hands*
Idran1701: ...OK, fine. No harm done. See you later! ^_^
Arch mage144: N: ...uh...wait!
XStrike8: Why, I've never had such a beautiful woman wantin m' coat so soon in th' relationship.
XStrike8: *hands her the coat*
Arch mage144: N: Does this mean you aren't here about the gardening job?
Idran1701: Oh, sure! Of course I am! Why else would I be here?
EbilRyuuzoku: Now... *takes a step back* ...I have reason to believe that you have tried to take some of my possessions....
Arch mage144: N: ...*raises an eyebrow* So you are here about the gardening job?
EbilRyuuzoku: I now have one of yours, how about a trade, hmm?
XStrike8: Can't says I blame ya, Ma'am.
Idran1701: Yes, of course.
XStrike8: And it'd be right good trade indeed, ma'am, cept for one thing.
EbilRyuuzoku: And that is?
Arch mage144: N: Well why didn't you say so instead of bellowing about wine?
XStrike8: *pulls out his pockets, and some lint flies out* I can't say that I've got much to trade with a lovely lady such's yerself at th' moment.
Idran1701: ...I don't understand your question.
EbilRyuuzoku: I refer to the items you pilfered from my pocket.
Arch mage144: N: ...how about you come inside...eh? *looks over at Gen and Darian*
XStrike8: ... And, frankly, ma'am, I don't think y're wantin me trousers, if'n ya don't mind my sayin so.
Arch mage144: N: Excuse me, um...
Idran1701: Hmm? *turns around*
EbilRyuuzoku: No, but I'm sure you would like them. And the rest of your clothing.
Arch mage144: N: No, not you...uh, sir? Madam?
Arch mage144: N: *waves a hand*
Idran1701: Ah, I remember you! You're the guy I met earlier. Ever find your pack?
EbilRyuuzoku: It would be rather embarassing to have to walk down the street na-- ...hmm? *turns*
XStrike8: Heh. Now if ya wanted in m' pants so badly, ma'am, ye could just say so...
EbilRyuuzoku: (XD)
Arch mage144: N: Excuse me? May I ask what your business is here?
XStrike8: <.< Nope, cain't says I have... Sorry. ^_^;;;
Arch mage144: N: Are you two here for the gardening job, too?
XStrike8: Yup, somethin' like that.
Arch mage144: N: Really now? That's wonderful!
EbilRyuuzoku: Actually I'm here to visit Archmage Mordenkainen....
XStrike8: In fact, I was just tellin this lovely lady here 'bout how much me da' taught me about how gardenin 's done.
EbilRyuuzoku: <.< IM: Little pickpocketing rat....
Idran1701: How much is that?
Arch mage144: N: Is that so...*nod* Why don't you all come in...and if you're looking for Mordenkainen...well, come on in.
Arch mage144: N: *beckons to everyone to come inside*
EbilRyuuzoku: Is that you? *follows on in*
XStrike8: *w to Genevive* If ya don't mind, ma'am, I'd like m' coat back. 's awful cold.
Idran1701: *enters the house*
XStrike8: *follows*
EbilRyuuzoku: *w* I'll return your coat when you return my money.
XStrike8: *w* I hate t' burst your bubble, love, but... you've got everythin' I own in your hands right now. Seriously.
Arch mage144: N: *motions for everyone to sit down on chairs*
Arch mage144: *it occurs to Genivive that he might be telling the truth*
Idran1701: *sits down* Hmm...nice chair. Wood?
XStrike8: *speaks a bit louder* unless you're really wantin' m' pants at this point, ma'am... .and I do think that it's a bit early in th' relationship for that...
XStrike8: ^_^
EbilRyuuzoku: *growls softly* Silence you... *shoves his coat back into his hands*
EbilRyuuzoku: *takes a seat* -_-;
XStrike8: *w* Glad t' be of service, m'lady.
XStrike8: *bows, then finds a place to stand*
Arch mage144: N: Yes...wood.
EbilRyuuzoku: *w* Keep your hands off of my possessions, thief.
Arch mage144: N: Now. Um. You two are here for the gardening job...and you're here for Mordenkainen?
EbilRyuuzoku: *nods* I am.
XStrike8: 's quite correct, Sir.
Idran1701: Yes, gardening, of course.
Arch mage144: N: *nods* My name is Hitashi, and I'm Sir Mordenkainen's head housekeeper.
Arch mage144: N: Unfortunately, the garden has gotten to be a bit overgrown, so I was looking for help with that. Sir Mordenkainen himself is out right now...I predict he'll return in...oh, perhaps a week?
EbilRyuuzoku: A week? Oh...darn.
Idran1701: Wow! Are you a seer?
Arch mage144: H (Hitashi): ...no.
XStrike8: A week, y' say?
EbilRyuuzoku: IM: I suppose I'll have to wait then...
Arch mage144: H: Yes, if you wish to conduct business with Sir Mordenkainen, you'll have to wait a week.
Arch mage144: H: You look to me like a very talented bunch.
Idran1701: What if we don't wish to?
XStrike8: *looks at Michael* <.< IM: Huh. Amateur.
XStrike8: So 'm told, sir.
EbilRyuuzoku: *sigh* Well if what I've heard of him is true, he is worth waiting a week....
Arch mage144: H: Well, if you don't want to wait a week, you...um...just won't get to conduct business with Sir Mordenkainen.
EbilRyuuzoku: *eyes Michael* IM: He seems a bit ...daft... he probably wasn't schooled.
Arch mage144: H: In the meantime, you can get to work on the gardening.
XStrike8: Oh, certainly, certainly...
EbilRyuuzoku: IM: I should seek out an inn....
EbilRyuuzoku: IM: Do I have enough money to spend a week in the inn?
Arch mage144: H: How about you, miss? Perhaps you'd like to try your hand at taking care of a few plants?
EbilRyuuzoku: Well um...*thinks* I...could try....
Arch mage144: Oh, excellent!
XStrike8: Umm, 'scuse me, sir, but...
EbilRyuuzoku: IM: It would be a nice way to repay Archmagus Mordenkainen...
XStrike8: When'd ya like for us ta start?
Arch mage144: H: ...today, if at all possible.
Arch mage144: H: Perhaps we should negotiate salaries?
Idran1701: *begins to surreptitiously look around the room*
XStrike8: If'n that's what yer intendin' t' do, sir.
XStrike8: *bows*
EbilRyuuzoku: *thinks* I really wouldn't need to be paid any money as long as I'll be able to reside here for the week...
Arch mage144: H: You'll be paid 20 full lunes a week...oh, well, miss, I suppose Sir Mordenkainen wouldn't mind putting up a visitor who came all this way to see him.
EbilRyuuzoku: ^_^ Then this is all I ask...
EbilRyuuzoku: IM: Best not to have a lot of money in my possession that that little rat over there could possibly try to take...
XStrike8: 20 lunes, eh? Sounds fair enough, sir. ^_^
Idran1701: Yes, sounds fine for gardening.
Arch mage144: (That's 400 gil a week, for those who aren't 100% positive on that.)
Arch mage144: H: Excellent, excellent...
XStrike8: (Sankyuu.)
Arch mage144: *Darian notes that that's a whole lot of money to be paid to take care of plants*
XStrike8: IM: Hmm... already cleanin up with the amount that... waitasec.
EbilRyuuzoku: IM: Gardening doesn't seem that hard.....
XStrike8: 'scuse me, sir... I'm jus' wonderin somethin...
Arch mage144: H: Yes?
XStrike8: Where's th' good gardenin' tools?
Arch mage144: H: Well, um...I might as well ask now...
XStrike8: And I'm wonderin if I'll need any special food for em or somethin?
EbilRyuuzoku: IM: And I can water things efficiently ^_^
XStrike8: Sir?
Arch mage144: H: You two are both pretty good at...weeding, aren't you?
XStrike8: Weeding? *raises eyebrow* Why, that d'pends on th' type o' weed.
Arch mage144: H: ...these weeds need to removed with...um...swords, usually.
Idran1701: I'm alright at it, but it's not my specialty.
EbilRyuuzoku: .... *lifts an eyebrow*
Idran1701: Swords, you say? What kind of swords?
XStrike8: Well now... 's interestin indeed.
XStrike8: What kinda weeds're we talkin bout, sir?
EbilRyuuzoku: ...exactly what does Archmagus Mordenkainen have growing in his garden?
Arch mage144: H: *mumbles* He didn't exactly put them there...
XStrike8: *glances at Genevive for a moment*
XStrike8: ... I... think I see.
EbilRyuuzoku: IM: Oh dear...
XStrike8: 'm wonderin, though...
XStrike8: What kinda creature've been magicked up in that there garden, eh? >.>
Arch mage144: H: *mumble*
EbilRyuuzoku: *laughs softly* Only in a sorceror's garden...
XStrike8: Cain't quite hear ya, sir. >.>
Arch mage144: H: ...the kind that...*mutter*
KnightsofSquare: (...eat people.)
XStrike8: ...
EbilRyuuzoku: (XD)
XStrike8: 'ow many gardners've you hired b'fore us, sir?
Arch mage144: H: ...eat people.
XStrike8: >.>
Arch mage144: H: ...four?
EbilRyuuzoku: (XD XD XD )
XStrike8: Only 4?
KnightsofSquare: (*wins*)
EbilRyuuzoku: .....oh dear.
Idran1701: Hmm...do they eat all people?
Arch mage144: H: ...yes...well, I fired the old gardener...
EbilRyuuzoku: Archmagus Mordenkainen isn't aware of this is he...?
Arch mage144: H: ...I didn't think we really needed him...
Arch mage144: H: ...no.
Arch mage144: H: And I really need to get rid of them before he comes back.
EbilRyuuzoku: *chuckles* I am reminded of an old story of a sorceror's apprentice....
XStrike8: ... well, now, I cain't says that I've got enough.... encouragement t' take on this job....
XStrike8: >.>
Arch mage144: H: ...how about if I upped your pay?
Arch mage144: H: Hey, at least I was honest with you!
XStrike8: IM: Suddenly 's ain't lookin so good...
XStrike8: IM: ... true...
Idran1701: ...Upped it how much?
Arch mage144: H: I sent the last gardener out with a trowel and a bag of fertilizer!
Arch mage144: H: ...how much...*mutter*...do you think is acceptable?
XStrike8: ... 's somethin' ta think about 't least....
EbilRyuuzoku: *stands and goes to peer out the window to try an assess the current gardening situation*
XStrike8: y'see, at this point I'd be inclined to ask ya somethin else..
XStrike8: How much 's it worth to ya?
XStrike8: (Is there an OOC chat, By the way?)
EbilRyuuzoku: (I don't think so...)
Arch mage144: (No. Feel free to start one.)
Arch mage144: *Genivive can't see anything out in the garden at the moment...and intriguingly, she doubts she'd be able to pick out anything specific anyway*
Arch mage144: *the garden is more like a jungle, with exotic plants, vines, fungi and trees everywhere*
EbilRyuuzoku: Hmm, I don't see anything wrong in particular....
Arch mage144: *a river runs through the middle, and a small, decorative bridge crosses it*
EbilRyuuzoku: IM: What do people-eating plants look like anyways....
EbilRyuuzoku: *looks for the door*
Arch mage144: *the door out to the garden is large and made of glass panes*
Idran1701: *Meanwhile, while Hitashi and Darian are debating salary, Michael begins seeing what things he could take in this room*
EbilRyuuzoku: *moves to the glass door and slides it open*
AIM T3chie has entered the room.
Arch mage144: *most of the stuff in here isn't nailed down--little jade figurines, candlesticks, a china tea set, and a marble paperweight sit out on the tables and racks*
AIM T3chie: (o.o?)
EbilRyuuzoku: (GURPS!)
Arch mage144: (There is so a GURPS RP going on in here.)
XStrike8: (ARPEE Desu.)
Arch mage144: *the door slides open easily, revealing the absolutely stunning garden*
EbilRyuuzoku: *steps outside*
XStrike8: Umm.. ma'am... 'm not sure if that's quite safe...
XStrike8: >.>;;;
Arch mage144: *Genivive feels the softness of the grass and earth beneath her feet*
Idran1701: *stands up and begins wandering about aimlessly...or so it seems*
XStrike8: IM: Dammit....
XStrike8: *walks over to the door, and looks out*
EbilRyuuzoku: IM: This is very pretty....
EbilRyuuzoku: *looks around*
XStrike8: Umm... miss....
EbilRyuuzoku: Hm?
XStrike8: I know ya don't wanna hear from me, but...
Arch mage144: *off in the distance, Genivive spots some odd, roughly human sized plants*
XStrike8: >.> I don't quite trust th' night life.
Arch mage144: *they look rather like large mushrooms, and are arranged in a neat little ring*
EbilRyuuzoku: Hey what are those.... o.o *narrows her eyes at them*
Arch mage144: *they're almost like a grove of trees*
Idran1701: *picks up the paperweight in the distraction, and slips it into his pouch*
XStrike8: Those what?
EbilRyuuzoku: Those plants, over there...
EbilRyuuzoku: *starts to walk over* They look like large mushrooms...
Arch mage144: *Michael acquires 1x marble paperweight o_o*
EbilRyuuzoku: (It's time to BUST A GROVE!)
Idran1701: ...Why are we talking about plants when there's gardening to be done!
XStrike8: *follows Genevive* Killer man-eating plants ya moron.
XStrike8: e.e
EbilRyuuzoku: e_e Please don't refer to me as a moron.
Idran1701: Don't worry, I won't.
Arch mage144: *the mushroom plants, as Genivive gets closer, are apparently much more complex than they first appeared...*
XStrike8: Eh.. Not you, Miss. ^_^;;;
XStrike8: Certainly not you...
XStrike8: ... o.o what the.... *assumed to be able to see the plants now too?*
Arch mage144: *...they're violet in color, and have large, puffy caps, in addition to what look like thin roots that attach them to the ground, as opposed to solid bottoms*
Arch mage144: (Yes, you can.)
Idran1701: What is it? *walks towards Darian and Genevive*
EbilRyuuzoku: *decides not to get TOO close to these plants*
Arch mage144: *long, leaflike extensions hang off the caps of the mushrooms*
XStrike8: Well.. I think we've found th' root o' th' problem.
XStrike8: ... as it were.
EbilRyuuzoku: ...har har.
Idran1701: *looks at mushroom-like things* (Can I see any more details of them?)
XStrike8: Well, ma'am... now that we've seen what we came t' see...
XStrike8: d'ya think we should come back later on, perhaips with some... proper tools?
Idran1701: ...Those leaves are moving weirdly.
XStrike8: Huh?
EbilRyuuzoku: Weedkiller preferably...
Idran1701: The leafy things on them are moving all weird-like.
XStrike8: Weirdly like what?
XStrike8: o.o That don't sound s' good...
EbilRyuuzoku: *looks at the "leafy things"*
Arch mage144: *both Darian and Genivive note that they leafy tendrils are swaying slightly--and there's no breeze*
XStrike8: That don't look s' good, either...
Idran1701: Just a second, I'll get a closer look. *walks briskly towards the mushroom creatures*
EbilRyuuzoku: ...*takes a step back*
XStrike8: Umm... I think...
EbilRyuuzoku: Um....no!
XStrike8: *backs back*
EbilRyuuzoku: Don't get back here!
XStrike8: GET BACK
Arch mage144: (Hold)
EbilRyuuzoku: (*throws a comma up there after "don't"*)
Arch mage144: *one of the leafy tendrils lashes out at Michael, who dodges it!*
Idran1701: Aah! *runs straight towards Darian*
Arch mage144: *the other "mushrooms" seem to be moving as well...*
Arch mage144: (Hold)
XStrike8: IM: Not good...
Arch mage144: *suddenly, everything is remarkably still*
Idran1701: *crashes into Darian*
XStrike8: *crashed into* GAAH.
XStrike8: GET OFF ME, Ya FOOL!!
Idran1701: Oh, sorry about that.
EbilRyuuzoku: O_O Oh dear...
XStrike8: e.e;;;
Idran1701: *rolls off of him*
XStrike8: *checks pockets, just in case*
Arch mage144: *suddenly, Genivive feels teeth sink into her shoulder*
Idran1701: It startled me.
XStrike8: >.> IM: Coudl he be MORE obvi...
EbilRyuuzoku: AAHHH!
XStrike8: Damned fool... Wha?
XStrike8: o.o
Idran1701: Hmm...
XStrike8: SHIT.
Idran1701: *takes out his knife*
Arch mage144: (Genivive takes 4 hits of damage. She may take an action at this point...the initiative order will continue from there as I say.)
EbilRyuuzoku: (...ow...)
XStrike8: (Ouch, indeed.)
EbilRyuuzoku: *backs away as far as she can in the direction of the shoulder that wasn't bitten*
Idran1701: Are you all right? What happened?
EbilRyuuzoku: Something bit me! O_O
XStrike8: o.o Where is it? >.>
Arch mage144: *the creepy part is that there doesn't seem to be anything there*
XStrike8: <.<
EbilRyuuzoku: I....I don't know! O_O
EbilRyuuzoku: Ow.... >.<
Arch mage144: (Gen moves 6 yards away from where she was bitten, in the opposite direction.)
Idran1701: *looks around for some kind of cloth*
Arch mage144: *as this is a garden, there isn't anything, excepting the clothing people are wearing*
XStrike8: *looking around frantically for.. .whatever it is that's attacking them*
Idran1701: ...*rips off sleeve, and starts tearing it into bandages. His method shows he knows something about doing this*
Arch mage144: (Hold, Idran)
Idran1701: (left sleeve, if it matters)
Arch mage144: (We're technically on "combat time" now, meaning that "rounds" are 1 second long)
Idran1701: (Oh, didn't realize that. All right, I'll wait, then)
Arch mage144: (I'll let you start doing that, but until I say, it's not done.)
Arch mage144: *everyone hears footsteps from where Genivive was*
Arch mage144: *a set of feet shuffling towards Darian, in fact*
Arch mage144: *Michael busies himself with ripping off his sleeve*
EbilRyuuzoku: *looks to the spot where she was*
Arch mage144: *Genivive has a chance to act*
XStrike8: >.> <.< Shit... don't see....
EbilRyuuzoku: *takes out her staff* O___O
Arch mage144: *there isn't anything there*
Arch mage144: *Genivive now has a ready weapon*
Arch mage144: *Darian now has a chance to act*
XStrike8: IM: Gotta act fast....
XStrike8: *concentrate, Flash spell*
XStrike8: COVER YOUR EYES.
Idran1701: *closes eyes and turns head away, if possible*
EbilRyuuzoku: *lifts an arm to shield her eyes*
Arch mage144: *Darian begins concentrating, 1 second*
Arch mage144: *each of three of the large, purple mushrooms edge towards the group, moving in about 3 yards--they're about 2 yards away from Michael*
Arch mage144: *Darian feels something snap at the air RIGHT in front of him*
Idran1701: *which he doesn't see, unfortunately*
Arch mage144: *Michael finishes ripping his shirt sleeve off*
Arch mage144: *Genivive has a chance to act*
XStrike8: IM: Shit SHIT SHIT.
EbilRyuuzoku: *takes a step backwards, moving at a right angle to the direction she had previously moved*
Arch mage144: *Genivive takes one step towards Darian*
Arch mage144: *the mushrooms edge towards the group again...and one of them is standing literally an inch away from Michael*
Arch mage144: *the other is about a yard away from Darian, and the other about two yards away--Genivive is fairly far away*
EbilRyuuzoku: *starts concentrating on something of her own*
Arch mage144: *Darian feels something nip him on the lower torso*
Arch mage144: (1 hit of damage.)
XStrike8: GAH. >.O;;;
Arch mage144: *Michael may now act*
Idran1701: Aah! *jumps up onto nearest chair, and readies a throwing dagger*
AIM T3chie has left the room.
Arch mage144: *Michael hops up onto a lawn chair about a yard away from the mushroom standing next to him, and pulls out a throwing dagger*
Ryuugami has entered the room.
Arch mage144: *Genivive is concentrating, 2 seconds*
Arch mage144: *Darian is concentrating, 2 seconds*
Arch mage144: *two of the mushrooms move in, one towards Darian, and it is now literally a foot away from him*
Arch mage144: *the other moves in, standing about two and a half feet away*
Arch mage144: *the third mushroom flails its tentacles at Michael...*
Arch mage144: *and one of its leaflike feelers manages to catch his exposed cheek, raking it roughly and dragging the scraping appendage down his torso*
Arch mage144: (6 hits of damage.)
Arch mage144: (*rolls something*)
Idran1701: OW!
Arch mage144: *luckily, Michael remains standing*
Arch mage144: *however, he is somewhat off-balance, and stunned*
Arch mage144: *Michael's turn, rolling...*
Idran1701: (Surprised or Paralyzed stunned?)
Arch mage144: *Michael recovers*
Arch mage144: (You took more than half your HT's worth of damage. It's physical shock.)
Idran1701: (Ah.)
Arch mage144: (But you just recovered, and you can act. At -6, because you got wounded so badly.)
Arch mage144: (A suggestion: All out defense, or back off for the moment...unless neither are in character.)
Idran1701: Stupid mushroom-like thing. *jumps as far away as possible, onto another high surface if there is one nearby*
Arch mage144: *unfortunately, there isn't one*
Arch mage144: *and he doesn't hurt himself jumping*
Arch mage144: *Michael retreats 6 yards from the mushrooms*
Arch mage144: *Genivive's spell succeeds, and a ball of ice forms in front of her hand as she mumbles an appropriate magic word*
Arch mage144: (You can throw it this turn, or you can aim at a target and wait.)
EbilRyuuzoku: *selects an appropriate target, one of the mushrooms near Darian, and aims*
Idran1701: ...Hey, you're a mage!
Arch mage144: (You get a +2 bonus on your roll next turn.)
XStrike8: CLOSE YOUR EYES, NOW!!!
EbilRyuuzoku: *shuts her eyes quickly*
Idran1701: ...*closes his eyes and covers them with his arms*
XStrike8: .... Know my plight... RELEASE LIGHT!!!
Arch mage144: *a brilliant flash of light ensues...*
Idran1701: I would, but I don't have any!
Arch mage144: *unfortunately, it doesn't do anything to the plants...but in the split second the light works, as Darian opens his eyes, he spots the shadow of a four legged creature in front of him*
XStrike8: (He still gets a move this turn, yes?)
Arch mage144: *the mushrooms seem more confused than anything else*
Arch mage144: (You do.)
XStrike8: 's just ain't my day...
EbilRyuuzoku: IM: Your day huh..
XStrike8: *reaches into his coat for his whip*
FFFan80 has left the room.
Arch mage144: *Darian readies a weapon*
Arch mage144: *the mushroom creature nearest him aims a tentacle blow at his body*
Arch mage144: *the creature's tentacle rakes Darian's body, scratching him up a bit (2 hits of damage)....*
XStrike8: >.o;;;
Arch mage144: *the mushroom pursuing Michael moves 3 yards towards him*
Arch mage144: *the other mushroom moves 3 yards towards Genivive, who is still a long way off*
Arch mage144: *Darian feels teeth nipping at him again, but they don't get through his clothing*
Arch mage144: *Michael has a chance to act*
Idran1701: *throws his dagger at the mushroom in front of him, and steps back as much as possible*
Arch mage144: (One hex, or 1 yard. *nod*)
Arch mage144: *the dagger sinks into the mushroom, and the creature literally screams*
Arch mage144: (2 hits of damage to the mushroom.)
Arch mage144: *Genivive may act*
EbilRyuuzoku: *unleashes the ball of ice upon the mushroom attacking Darian*
XStrike8: IM: Hm. Not bad.
Arch mage144: *the ice sphere slams into the mushroom, dealing visible damage--the fungus recoils and squeals loudly*
Arch mage144: (6 hits of damage.)
XStrike8: Thanks, Love!
EbilRyuuzoku: Just don't get yourself killed! >.<
EbilRyuuzoku: *notices the 'shroom approaching her* Eeep!
Arch mage144: *Darian may act*
Idran1701: Wait a minute...mushrooms can't scream...hey, I don't think these are normal mushrooms!
XStrike8: *lashes out at the mushroom near Genevive*
XStrike8: JUST NOTICE, HUH?
EbilRyuuzoku: ...Of coures they aren't normal mushrooms! They're MAN EATING mushrooms!
XStrike8: e.e
Idran1701: ...No one's eating them. What're you talking about?
EbilRyuuzoku: ...I'll explain later!
Arch mage144: *the whip attack strikes the mushroom, but it doesn't seem to have any effect*
XStrike8: 's assumin there is a Later, miss.
XStrike8: e.e Crap.
Arch mage144: *the mushroom nearest to Darian flails at him and misses completely, suffering from shock due to its wounds*
Arch mage144: *the other mushroom advances 3 more yards--it's 5 from Darian and approximately 4 away from Gen*
Arch mage144: *and Darian feels teeth sink into his hip*
Arch mage144: (3 hits of damage)
XStrike8: >.<;;;
Idran1701: IM: ...Wait a minute, where's the guy that stole my wine?
Arch mage144: *Michael has a chance to act*
Idran1701: *pulls out another throwing dagger, and steps towards Genevive, keeping his distance from the mushrooms*
Arch mage144: *Genivive has a chance to act*
EbilRyuuzoku: *takes a step backwards and starts concentrating again*
Arch mage144: *Genivive is concentrating, 1 second*
Arch mage144: *Darian has a chance to act*
XStrike8: IM: C'mon... think... THINK....
XStrike8: IM: wait... I've got something....
XStrike8: *concentrates*
Arch mage144: *Darian is concentrating, 1 second*
Arch mage144: *the mushroom nearest Michael moves towards him (3 yards distance now)*
Arch mage144: *the mushroom near Darian flails at him*
Arch mage144: *the tentacle scrapes his flesh--and it doesn't feel too good (2 hits)*
XStrike8: *breathing heavily now*
Arch mage144: *something tries to bite him and snaps at only air*
Arch mage144: *the other mushroom, by the way, is 4 yards from Gen now*
Arch mage144: *Michael may act*
Idran1701: IM: No time for bandaging
Idran1701: *throws dagger at where he heard the snap come from*
Arch mage144: *unfortunately, the dagger doesn't hit the target with enough force to deal--but Darian clearly sees the dagger hit and bounce off of something in front of him*
Arch mage144: *Genivive is concentrating, 2 seconds*
XStrike8: e.e IM: What the... hell IS that?
Arch mage144: (Unless she wants to fire right now.)
EbilRyuuzoku: (Hell no)
Arch mage144: *Darian may act&
Arch mage144: *
XStrike8: IM: If at first ya don't succeed.....
XStrike8: *concentrates, itch, whatever it is in front of him*
Arch mage144: *yes, Darian's illusion spell goes off...what's it do?*
Arch mage144: *a humanoid figure materializes about two yards to Darian's right*
Arch mage144: *...and it attracts the attention of the mushroom that was previously flailing away at him*
Arch mage144: *the mushroom takes a few swings at the illusion...and upon being touched, the illusion shimmers and melts away*
Arch mage144: *another mushroom edges in and is about a yard from Michael*
Idran1701: Hey, the mushroom just killed that guy!
Arch mage144: *and likewise, another mushroom edges towards Gen, 1 yard away*
Arch mage144: (HOLY)
EbilRyuuzoku: (...holy what?)
XStrike8: (HOLY EXPLETIVE MCJOY)
Arch mage144: *something lunges at Darian to bite him...and Darian feels a bit of a ruffle as whatever it is misses dramatically, and brushes past him as its weight carries it past him...*
Arch mage144: *something thuds to the ground awkwardly about a half a foot in front of him*
EbilRyuuzoku: (SOMETHING critically missed)
XStrike8: IM: WOO!!
Arch mage144: *Michael may act*
Idran1701: *continues walking towards Genevive carefully, while taking out his last throwing dagger*
Arch mage144: *Genivive either concentrates or casts her spell*
EbilRyuuzoku: *unloads a ball of ice right at the shroom moving to her*
Arch mage144: *the ice sphere smacks the mushroom, causing it to recoil (3 hits)*
Arch mage144: *Genivive may now act*
Arch mage144: (Wait no, nevermind)
Arch mage144: (She did, she threw a missile)
Arch mage144: *Darian may now act*
EbilRyuuzoku: >_< *winces* Get these THINGS away from me!
XStrike8: *Looks at the plant in front of him*
XStrike8: *grins, and concentrates*
XStrike8: IM: Oh, I've got somethin for ya
EbilRyuuzoku: *gets an idea*
Arch mage144: *the mushroom near Gen moves and steps into close combat range...*
Arch mage144: *the creature attacks with a tentacle blow, and Gen fails to parry*
Arch mage144: *Gen feels significant pain as a tentacle rakes her skin...*
Arch mage144: *...and feels mildly ill, to boot*
EbilRyuuzoku: A...argh....
Arch mage144: (Gen takes 4 hits of damage from the tentacle...and 7 from poison, effectively putting her on the unconscious side of things.)
EbilRyuuzoku: (...ow....)
EbilRyuuzoku: *sinks to the ground, groaning softly*
Arch mage144: (-4 HT. Keep that in mind.)
Arch mage144: *Darian hears shuffling next to him*
Arch mage144: *something snaps at him and whiffs*
Arch mage144: *Michael may act*
Idran1701: *throws his dagger at the mushroom near Gen, and continues moving towards her as quickly as possible*
XStrike8: >.< IM: SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT...
Idran1701: (Although that isn't much after an attack.)
Arch mage144: *the third dagger goes...and doesn't really have much of an effect*
Arch mage144: *Michael is standing next to where Gen fell, and the mushroom is right next to her*
Arch mage144: *Darian's spell succeeds, creating a huge mass of fire around the mushroom creature nearest him...*
Arch mage144: *the creature screams in pain and quickly edges out of the blaze, howling the entire time*
XStrike8: *concentrates* IM: I'm getting a LOT of practice today... >.<;;;
Arch mage144: *the mushroom that was pursuing Michael freezes up*
Arch mage144: *and the one nearest him now edges towards him a tiny bit and flails at him*
Arch mage144: *the tentacle rakes his body...and it doesn't feel all that great (4 damage)*
Arch mage144: *...scratch!*
Arch mage144: *something nips at Darian--and misses*
Arch mage144: *Michael may now act*
XStrike8: IM: Well 've still got SOME luck left t' me.
Idran1701: *drags Gen as far away from all the mushrooms as possible, and begins to bandage her with the ripped-off sleeve as soon as he can* (next round, I believe?)
Arch mage144: *Michael can drag her 3 yards away from the foes, and then sets about to bandage her, which will finish after the next turn*
Arch mage144: *Darian can act*
XStrike8: *concentrates* IM: We can't win this....
XStrike8: *and starts towards Gen and Michael as he does*
Arch mage144: *the phantom fire goes up...and it appears to be burning something in the area in front of him*
Arch mage144: *whatever it is, it's not visible directly, but flickers and flashes of it are--and it's screaming, loudly*
Arch mage144: *the mushrooms, petrified with fear, freeze up*
Arch mage144: *Michael may act*
XStrike8: WE'RE GETTIN' TH' HELL OUT!!
Idran1701: *still bandaging, and moving away if possible*
Arch mage144: *the party is effectively able to move faster than the mushrooms, and thus, this needs not be acted out specifically--leaving a number of "fires" in the garden, the group hauls, and the plants don't seem to bother
Arch mage144: pursuing*
EbilRyuuzoku: *dragged along*
Idran1701: *while bandaging* So, anyway...where's that guy that stole my mug of wine, earlier?
Arch mage144: *the party is now sitting outside the house*
Arch mage144: *on the patio*
Arch mage144: H: O_O What's happening out there!?
Idran1701: Oh, there you are!
XStrike8: .... tough weeds.
Arch mage144: H: *swings the door open and stomps out onto the patio*
Arch mage144: H: *looks at the fires and the mushrooms moving about*
Arch mage144: H: ...no joke.
Idran1701: ...Oh, _that
Idran1701: ...Oh, _that
Arch mage144: (...wow, AIM is goofy)
XStrike8: Oh those? don't mind em much...
EbilRyuuzoku: *groans*
Idran1701: Oh, _that's_ gardening? Oh, I don't know how to do that, then.
XStrike8: They're givin' me an awful headache t' keep up, though.... *stops concentrating on all but the closest fires*
Idran1701: *begins ripping other sleeve off when done with Gen*
XStrike8: Got anythin' for the lady here?
Arch mage144: H: Yes...bring her inside.
XStrike8: She got hurt bad by them nightmares...
XStrike8: *helps Michael carry Gen inside*
Arch mage144: H: *points to a comfortable looking couch* Set her there.
XStrike8: Sure sure...
Idran1701: *sets Gen down on the couch*
Arch mage144: H: *puts a hand on Gen's forehead and concentrates*
Arch mage144: H: *a number of her physical scratches melt away, restoring 8 hits, and bringing her up to 4/9 hits*
XStrike8: *looks at Michael* y're not too bad with them knives...
EbilRyuuzoku: Ugh.....
Arch mage144: (You're still unconscious.)
EbilRyuuzoku: (Woops...ignore that.)
Idran1701: Thanks. Sorry about your friend in there.
XStrike8: ... hn... 'm not sure she'd say that.
XStrike8: >.>;;;
Idran1701: Huh? No, not her, the other guy.
Arch mage144: H ...she should be okay in an hour...
Arch mage144: H: ...what guy?
Idran1701: The one those mushrooms disintegrated in there.
XStrike8: HEH. THAT.
XStrike8: Hahahahahaha XD
Arch mage144: H: ...*blinking*
Arch mage144: H: ...I owe you my thanks for trying, at least.
XStrike8: Well.. if'n ya can fool yer friends...
Idran1701: ...What?
Arch mage144: H: Maybe we should hire mercenary warriors instead of "gardeners"...
XStrike8: Heh. Can't say that gardenin was m' strong point, m'self.
XStrike8: 'sides... we've got a week, right?
Arch mage144: H: Yes, that's true...*blinks*
Arch mage144: H: ...maybe you should rest up and try again tommorrow.
XStrike8: 's what I was thinkin.
Idran1701: Hmm. *starts moving towards one of the jade statuettes he saw earlier*
Arch mage144: H: Alright. You're welcome to spend the night here, I guess...
Arch mage144: H: ...just...don't wreck the house.
XStrike8: Although... if t' lovely lady here's not up an' ready by then, I suppose I c'n wait.
XStrike8: Heh.
Arch mage144: H: *heads upstairs*
XStrike8: One sec...
Arch mage144: *Michael aquires 1x jade statuette--it's shaped like a tiger*
XStrike8: *walks over to Michael*
XStrike8: e.e
Idran1701: Yes?
XStrike8: *claps a hand down on his shoulder*
XStrike8: Cain't ya wait a bit, 't least?
XStrike8: Moron.
Idran1701: ...For what?
XStrike8: If'n yer gonna take 'is stuff, at least take 's MONEY, too.
XStrike8: If'n ya steal from 'im NOW, you'll not get paid.
Idran1701: Why would I do that? *has a look of abject confusion on his face*
XStrike8: e.e *DEATHGLARE* PUT IT BACK.
Idran1701: ...Oh, fine. *puts the jade statuette on the mantle*
XStrike8: 'sides. ANYONE could see what yer doin'. Ya ain't got no skill.
Idran1701: Hey!
XStrike8: *shrugs* Yer choice, mate.
XStrike8: *walks off in the direction of the bedrooms... or starts to*
XStrike8: *looks back over his shoulder at Gen...*
XStrike8: IM: 'm sorry bout that earlier, ma'am....
XStrike8: IM: Just hope ya get better....
XStrike8: *turns around and walks off*
Arch mage144: (Shall we fast forward to tommorrow?)
EbilRyuuzoku: (No objections here)
Arch mage144: (...that only has one m. *tomorrow)
XStrike8: (No objections here.)
Idran1701: (None here either)
Arch mage144: *...time passes...everyone gets a full night's sleep, and the groundskeeper gets around to healing everyone's injuries*
Arch mage144: *Genivive manages to flush the poison delivered by the mushroom out of her system*
Arch mage144: *is is now 10 AM...*
Arch mage144: *...and downstairs, breakfast is being served*
EbilRyuuzoku: *groans softly, coming to*
Idran1701: *checking the bandages on Genevive*
XStrike8: *wakes up to the smell of delicious things*
Arch mage144: *Genivive finds herself in a very large, and very comfortable bed*
XStrike8: IM: mmm.... smells wonderful.....
Arch mage144: *Darian is in similar conditions--and probably slept better than he has in a long time*
EbilRyuuzoku: *sits up suddenly* Where....what.....*remembers last night* ...oh dear....
XStrike8: IM: Damn comfy beds....
XStrike8: *gets up and heads downstairs*
Arch mage144: *a knocking is heard at Gen's door*
EbilRyuuzoku: ...hm?
Idran1701: Aah! You're awake, finally.
EbilRyuuzoku: Oh! It's you...um...come in?
Arch mage144: *at the dining table, a very high-class breakfast setup has been arranged, complete with eggs, toast, bacon, ham, and potatoes*
Arch mage144: *the door opens, and Hitashi walks in*
Arch mage144: H: ...it's good to see that you're alright, miss.
Arch mage144: H: You were terribly ill yesterday, I believe...and suffering from awful wounds.
XStrike8: Mmmmm...... O.O
EbilRyuuzoku: I really don't remeber exactly what happened...one of those...things hit me...
Arch mage144: H: I see...
XStrike8: *starts scarfing food quickly and hungrily*
Arch mage144: H: ...oh...someone came to the house looking for you yesterday.
XStrike8: <.< >.>
XStrike8: *pockets some for later*
EbilRyuuzoku: ...hm? Really?
EbilRyuuzoku: Who? IM: Miles probably...
XStrike8: IM: Never know when you'll find a meal like this again....
Arch mage144: H: Yes, a man wearing robes. *nods*
EbilRyuuzoku: Ah, that was probably Miles...
EbilRyuuzoku: Where did he go?
Arch mage144: H: *nod* Well, he said he would meet up with you later if at all possible. He said he was staying at the Cat's Meow.
XStrike8: (BRB)
EbilRyuuzoku: *thinks* Those...things...they aren't still there in the yard are they?
EbilRyuuzoku: IM: I'm sure Miles could probably help us dispose of them...
Idran1701: Well, anyway, your bandages look fine, miss. What was your name, again?
EbilRyuuzoku: Oh...I'm Genevive Sarith..
Idran1701: Ah, well hello, Genevive. Anyway, you can't be too careful with things like this, even with healing magic.
EbilRyuuzoku: Yes...come to think of it, I should try to brush up on some...
Arch mage144: H: *nods* Breakfast is ready, if you two happen to be hungry.
Idran1701: Brush up on some what?
XStrike8: Ahhh.... So Tasty.... ^_^
EbilRyuuzoku: Healing magic...breakfast? Oh... *moves to get out of bed* I don't want to hold everyone up...
XStrike8: *reclines at the table, thoroughly satisfied*
Arch mage144: H: Go eat something. It'd be good for you.
EbilRyuuzoku: Indeed. ^_^ *heads downstairs*
Idran1701: Sure! *follows*
Arch mage144: *presumably, everyone eats*
EbilRyuuzoku: *OFF COURSE! :D!*
XStrike8: Oh.. umm.. .Hello, Miss... o.o
XStrike8: It's good to see you up and about after all of that.... ^_^;;;
Arch mage144: H: *peers out the window* o_o There's someone in the garden.
Idran1701: Mmm, breakfast. *takes out his knife and begins slicing everything up*
EbilRyuuzoku: ....well that's not a very safe thing to do....
XStrike8: I suppose I didn't do a good job of... huh? >>>
Arch mage144: *points*
Arch mage144: H*
Idran1701: Oh, maybe your friend got better! *talking to Darian*
XStrike8: Who th' hell's crazy enough t' go out THERE?
EbilRyuuzoku: *peeks out the window* I hope they're not in trouble....
XStrike8: *Facepalms*
Arch mage144: H: I'm not sure.
XStrike8: I certainly hope not....
XStrike8: *peers outside*
Arch mage144: *whoever they are, they're sitting with their back to the party, on a white garden bench*
Idran1701: *also looks*
XStrike8: looks like 'e owns th' place.
Idran1701: Well, I can solve this! *starts towards the door to the garden*
Arch mage144: *facial features and clothing are indeterminable, but the person has dark, somewhat spiky hair*
EbilRyuuzoku: O_O Micheal!
Idran1701: *stops* What?
EbilRyuuzoku: Don't go out there, just...yell out to them...
Idran1701: Well, OK. *yelling* Hey, who are you?
EbilRyuuzoku: *moves to the sliding door and peeks her head out*
EbilRyuuzoku: That isn't Mordenkainen is it?
XStrike8: How the 'ell'd I know?
Arch mage144: H: No, it isn't Sir Mordenkainen...I wonder who would go and lounge around in the garden like that?
Arch mage144: H: ...and they climbed over the fence, too...*muttering* How rude.
Idran1701: ...Maybe it's the gardener.
EbilRyuuzoku: Hey! *steps outside* Who are you?
XStrike8: *facepalms again*
Arch mage144: *the figure stands up...and it's a man in black, silver trimmed robes*
Idran1701: ...Do you have something on your face?
XStrike8: *follows Genivive outside*
EbilRyuuzoku: .............
Arch mage144: *he turns around, and, with a moment's worth of study, Genivive recognizes him*
XStrike8: *w to Gen* I suppose 'm doin' a poor job 'o protectin' ya. *chuckles*
EbilRyuuzoku: ...w...what....
Arch mage144: ...hello Genivive. *faint grin*
EbilRyuuzoku: Elaith...what are YOU doing here?
Idran1701: *stands in the doorway and watches*
Arch mage144: What am I doing here!?
Arch mage144: I can do whatever I want!
EbilRyuuzoku: This isn't YOUR garden....
XStrike8: .... IM: This ain't no happy reunion, 's it?
Arch mage144: How can you question my being in a place like this!? This place is as much mine as the next person!
EbilRyuuzoku: IM: Just how I remember him....
Arch mage144: I'll do as I like, Genivive.
EbilRyuuzoku: This property belongs to Archmage Mordenkainen, you know. *rolls her eyes*
EbilRyuuzoku: You haven't seemed to have changed one bit either.
Idran1701: *yells again* Hey? Who're you?
EbilRyuuzoku: That's Elaith
Arch mage144: *the others note that the man is a fairly tall (about 5'11") human, with dark hair and eyes, and a very attractive appearance overall, in addition to being very well dressed--he's decked out with a silver necklace*
XStrike8: IM: ... 'e's hammin it up a little bit too much...
Arch mage144: My name is Elaith. Who's your friend, Genivive?
Idran1701: IM: ...Ooh, that necklace looks interesting
XStrike8: IM: And this guy... 'd not wanna see 'im in 'n alley, that's fer sure.
Arch mage144: A new flame?
XStrike8: Heh. I don't think th' lady'll call me any sorta friend.... >.>;;;
EbilRyuuzoku: He's someone I recently met, and I made it perfectly clear YEARS ago that WE are rather THROUGH.
Arch mage144: He looks like the type of guy who doesn't deserve you anyway.
XStrike8: *raises eyebrow*
Arch mage144: Bah, you just haven't seen the potential we have!
XStrike8: ...
EbilRyuuzoku: There's nothing to see...
Idran1701: *walks up*
EbilRyuuzoku: *turns away* Now go back to whatever grave you crawled out of.
Arch mage144: *Darian notes that there is a trail of footprints leading from the fence inward--and the grass is very, very dead in them*
Arch mage144: ...why you...!?
Arch mage144: GRAVE!?
XStrike8: o.o IM: .... That CAN'T be good....
Idran1701: ...Wait, you're undead?
Arch mage144: Don't you turn away from me, Genivive!
EbilRyuuzoku: *sniffs disdainfuly and walks to the door*
Arch mage144: No, you idiot! Get away from me, you fool!
Arch mage144: *...growls angrily*
XStrike8: .... *puts a hand in his coat (readying whip), and follows Guen*
Arch mage144: ...come back here, Genivive...
XStrike8: *w* This'un don' look none too friendly.....
Arch mage144: *he pulls out a staff and taps it on the ground*
EbilRyuuzoku: No. -V-
Arch mage144: ...*narrows his eyes*
XStrike8: <.<
EbilRyuuzoku: *walks inside* -V-
Arch mage144: (Hold)
XStrike8: IM: This ain't gonna be fun.. not 't all
Arch mage144: *Genivive suddenly has a very, very vivid mental image flash into her mind...*
Arch mage144: *...in said mental image, a very angry looking man made out of bronze impacts her chest with a fist, crushing every bone in her torso*
Arch mage144: *in her vision, her breathing and heart rate arrest, and she becomes panicky and fearful while the fragments of splintered bone pierce her inner organs*
Arch mage144: *she knows, inherantly, that what she is seeing is an image of her own death...*
Arch mage144: (*makes another roll*)
EbilRyuuzoku has left the room.
EbilRyuuzoku has entered the room.
Arch mage144: *meanwhile, our good friend Michael tries to snatch Elaith's necklace*
Arch mage144: *and he ganks it right off his neck while Elaith is distracted concentrating on his spell*
EbilRyuuzoku: *screams and holds her head, squeezing her eyes shut and trying to vainly shut the image from her mind* No....no no no!
Arch mage144: *growls softly* See what happens when you cross me?
Idran1701: *quickly hides it in his pouch*
Arch mage144: You will love me...
EbilRyuuzoku: Get away from me Elaith, you bastard!
Arch mage144: ...if I have to kill you and animate your corpse.
XStrike8: 's this some kinda marriage or somesuch? o.o
EbilRyuuzoku: ...you...you wouldn't...you're insane....
Arch mage144: I would take far too much pleasure in slicing your pretty little throat open.
Arch mage144: The sweet taste of your lifeblood leaking from your body...*eyes close momentarily*
Idran1701: Hey, that's mean!
EbilRyuuzoku: *takes a few deep breaths to compose herself and narrows his eyes at him*
XStrike8: See, 'm thinkin I object t' this kinda thing....
EbilRyuuzoku: You will do no such thing!
Arch mage144: ALL OF YOU SHUT UP!
Idran1701: ...Shut up what?
Arch mage144: ...*growls softly*
XStrike8: *moves his hand silently* (I can concentrate, jes?)
Arch mage144: (Yes. We aren't technically in "slow" combat time yet, either.)
Idran1701: *prepares to draw knife*
EbilRyuuzoku: e.e Do not persume to order me around! *concentrates*
Arch mage144: *also concentrates*
Arch mage144: (OK, NOW we kick into slow time)
Arch mage144: *Michael may act*
Idran1701: *readies his knife*
Arch mage144: *Michael has readied a weapon*
Arch mage144: *Elaith concentrates...quietly...*
Arch mage144: *Genivive's spell is cast, if it was what I think it was...* (*rolls*)
EbilRyuuzoku: *flicks a hand at Eliath* Ignite!
Arch mage144: *Elaith's eyes snap open*
Arch mage144: *...and suddenly, his robes are on fire*
Arch mage144: *at least, part of them*
Arch mage144: ...you...you spoiled bitch!
EbilRyuuzoku: eVe It takes one to know one!
Idran1701: It does?
Arch mage144: *Darian may now act*
XStrike8: 's lovely as it'd be to continue this conversation...
XStrike8: DARKNESS FALLS.
XStrike8: Have a nice night. ^_^
EbilRyuuzoku: IM: Oh my god...I had hoped he was over me...years ago...
Idran1701: Huh? *looks around* But it's not even close to night, yet.
Arch mage144: (What're you targeting?)
XStrike8: (Elaith.)
Arch mage144: (As a note, Shaun, that spell covers one hex, and you can see out of the hex. Just not into it or in it.)
Arch mage144: (Are you sure you want to do that?)
XStrike8: (Hn. Point.)
XStrike8: (Right in front of him, then.)
XStrike8: (Something to cover his field of vision. 's what I want.)
Arch mage144: *a totally black barrier of darkness materializes in front of Elaith*
Arch mage144: (...how redundant THAT description was.)
EbilRyuuzoku: (Could have been worse...)
EbilRyuuzoku: (Could have been a dark barrier of darkness)
Arch mage144: *Michael may act*
XStrike8: (I still get an action, yes?)
Idran1701: *stabs Elaith*
Arch mage144: (Oh, yeah. Right)
Idran1701: *OK, he doesn't*
Arch mage144: (My mistake, still one more action here.)
XStrike8: *tries to Trip Elaith*
Arch mage144: (With the whip?)
XStrike8: *Yup. 's something, at least*
XStrike8: Y'know, leaving is sounding better and better.... >.>;;;
Arch mage144: *the whip wraps around Elaith's feet, entangling him...*
Idran1701: *now Michael stabs him*
EbilRyuuzoku: Why....why him...
EbilRyuuzoku: Why here....then...those times before....he's....following.... o o
Arch mage144: ...*as Michael shoves his knife into Elaith's stomach, he cries out suddenly, eyes wide*
Arch mage144: (2 hits of damage)
Arch mage144: .......you......
Arch mage144: You HURT ME!
Idran1701: ...Well, yeah. I mean, I stabbed your stomach. That usually hurts.
Arch mage144: G...GOLEM, COME!
XStrike8: ... oh shit.
Idran1701: ...What's a Golem?
EbilRyuuzoku: O_O
EbilRyuuzoku: Oh god Micheal RUN!
Arch mage144: *Elaith swings his staff at Michael, but he deflects the blow*
Idran1701: ...OK. *begins running for the doorway*
Arch mage144: ...*and a 10 foot humanoid made of bronze busts down the fence and intercepts Michael*
Arch mage144: (Do you want to try to parry or dodge?)
Idran1701: Is that a Golem?
EbilRyuuzoku: O_O YES! NOW RUN!
Idran1701: *tries to dodge*
EbilRyuuzoku: GET AWAY FROM IT!
XStrike8: (Parry? THAT?)
Arch mage144: (OW)
Idran1701: (Well, I do have a knife. It COULD work.)
Arch mage144: *the golem raises its massive fist and winds up a punch...*
Idran1701: (using Luck!)
Arch mage144: (Has it been an hour? o.o 'kay)
XStrike8: (Smart man.)
Arch mage144: (Reroll the attack or the defense?)
Idran1701: (...uh...attack)
Arch mage144: (An 8, a 5, and an 8.)
Arch mage144: (...those are all going to hit you still, unfortunately.)
XStrike8: (Not-so-lucky.)
Idran1701: (Well, how much could it do?)
XStrike8: (The words "Ow" and "Ouch" come to mind.)
Idran1701: (At least it isn't "Owwie!")
XStrike8: (It's a golem. Made of Bronze.)
XStrike8: (I think the word "Ouch" is a bit insufficient.)
Arch mage144: *Michael takes a crushing blow...the sound of bones snapping is apparent, and it's obvious something in his chest was probably crushed*
Arch mage144: (12 hits of damage...)
XStrike8: (CRUNCH sounds more accurate, see? e.e;;;; )
EbilRyuuzoku: IM: Mordenkainen is teaching me water elemental when he gets back! >_<
Idran1701: ...Meep. *collapses*
EbilRyuuzoku: O_O NO!
Arch mage144: (You are STILL standing)
Idran1701: (...Wait, what? I only have 11 hits, don't I?)
Arch mage144: (You made your HT roll.)
XStrike8: (Still conscious.)
Idran1701: (Oh. Well, forget the *collapses* part, then)
Arch mage144: (Your move is halved, and you have to roll every turn to keep standing, but you are conscious.)
Arch mage144: That'll teach you to stab me!
Idran1701: *hobbles away as quick as he can*
EbilRyuuzoku: Leave them alone!
Arch mage144: *Michael gets 3 yards away*
Idran1701: *gasping* How would...that...teach me...anything?
Arch mage144: *Genivive gets an action*
EbilRyuuzoku: *looks to the golem and tries to cast shatter on it*
Arch mage144: (I erred the other day when I told you that spell was instant--you do have to concentrate, but you didn't do anything last turn, so I'll let you get away with it this time.)
EbilRyuuzoku: (*nods and notes this*)
Idran1701: (Does Eliath look like he's trying to control the Golem? e.g., Staring at it, having a look of concentration on his face, etc.?)
Arch mage144: (No, he doesn't.)
Arch mage144: ...*and instead of the desired effect...*
Idran1701: (Darn it.)
EbilRyuuzoku: (...uh oh...)
Arch mage144: *Genivive's spell produces a very loud BANG and the awful odor of brimstone*
XStrike8: (.... Magical failure suck.)
EbilRyuuzoku: >__<
Idran1701: *still gasping* Ugh...was that...supposed...to happen? I can...barely breathe...already.
Arch mage144: Gen, that was pathetic! You'd have been so much better off as a real mage...
EbilRyuuzoku: I AM a real mage!
Arch mage144: None of that "breaking objects" garbage...
Idran1701: *if possible, readies his knife for throwing*
Arch mage144: If you're a real mage, than why don't you have a real man?
Arch mage144: (Not your turn at the moment, it's Darian's.)
EbilRyuuzoku: ...that has nothing to do with being a mage!
Idran1701: (OK)
Arch mage144: Don't argue with me!
EbilRyuuzoku: Necromancy must have decayed your brain!
Arch mage144: ....
XStrike8: (Gen close by Darian?)
Arch mage144: (yes.)
XStrike8: *w to Gen* Methinks 'tis time to leave.... don't you?
EbilRyuuzoku: *w* I..agree.
EbilRyuuzoku: *w* I wholeheartedly agree... *appears to be shaking*
XStrike8: *concentrates, Complex Illusion*
Arch mage144: *the golem, meanwhile, stomps over towards Genivive...*
EbilRyuuzoku: O.O *screams*
Arch mage144: *and grabs her*
EbilRyuuzoku: HELP!
XStrike8: IM: SHIT.
Arch mage144: (Oh. It's Michael's turn)
Arch mage144: (He's still conscious)
Idran1701: *throws his knife at Eliath*
Arch mage144: *said knife manages to penetrate Elaith's upper arm, effectively crippling it*
Arch mage144: *and dealing 1 hit of damage*
Arch mage144: *the mage roars in pain*
Arch mage144: ...*spits*
Arch mage144: ...I think it's time for me to go now.
Idran1701: *continuing to gasp* Guess...you were right...about the...whole......
Idran1701: ...must...finish...sentence...
Arch mage144: Let's make a deal. *coughs*
Arch mage144: You let me go...and the golem doesn't crush her like an insect.
Arch mage144: You know it could, if only I commanded it to.
EbilRyuuzoku: *busy struggling* >.<
Idran1701: ...OK...*coughs*
Arch mage144: *beats out the fire on his clothes idly*
Idran1701: ...will...finish...sentence...later...
Arch mage144: *the mage looks like he's just BARELY standing*
XStrike8: You know, this sounds all well and good, but there's one problem.
Arch mage144: *between the burn wounds and the knife stabs
Arch mage144: *
Arch mage144: (As a side note, he's taken 8 hits worth of fire damage over the past two rounds.)
EbilRyuuzoku: (...sweeeet)
Idran1701: ...how...about...this...put her...down...and you...get this...back... *holds up necklace*
Arch mage144: ...*coughs up a bit of blood*
Arch mage144: ...give that back, you thief!
Idran1701: ...no...skill...indeed...
Arch mage144: Your life isn't worth the price of that necklace!
XStrike8: Gee. y're not lookin in th' shape t' be gettin such a thing back.
XStrike8: >.> How' bout yer life, eh?
EbilRyuuzoku: >.o *continues to squirm*
Arch mage144: ...I'll spare her if you let me go. *snarls*
XStrike8: Fightin's no good for anybody here....
Arch mage144: She's more useful to me dead then she is to you.
EbilRyuuzoku: ,>.<, Don't say that!
XStrike8: ... well, now, I didn't say nothin bout useful. >.>
Arch mage144: Dead, Gen...if I can't have you alive, I'll take whatever I can get...
Arch mage144: ...but let me go, and I'll let her live.
XStrike8: .....
EbilRyuuzoku: *mutter* I'm not yours to have....
Arch mage144: I can have whatever I want to!
Idran1701: ...then why...do I...have this?
EbilRyuuzoku: IM: Stop flaunting that in his face, you're only going to make him more angry!
EbilRyuuzoku: Just...go away Elaith!
XStrike8: IM: c'mon... there's gotta be somethin I c'n do....
EbilRyuuzoku: Leave me alone and leave!
Arch mage144: *starts to walk off--the golem follows, discards Genivive after a few steps, and continues*
Arch mage144: We...will meet again, Genivive...
EbilRyuuzoku: *very quickly scrambles away* ........
XStrike8: ... Well...
Idran1701: *hobbles towards Gen and Darian*
XStrike8: *runs over to Gen* I s'pose I'm still doin' a poor job o' protectin ya, miss...
EbilRyuuzoku: *starts to sob*
Idran1701: *also, looks around for any of his daggers left over from the previous day's fight*
Arch mage144: *a pair of them are visible, shining in the sunlight*
XStrike8: No no, ma'am... now's not th' time for all th' boo-hooin.
Idran1701: (close enough to pick up?)
EbilRyuuzoku: (Resident evil style!)
XStrike8: We need t' get you n' the moron inside.
XStrike8: Once we're there, well.. *shrugs*
EbilRyuuzoku: He's a psycho...why me....why him....I thought we were through.....
XStrike8: *holds out a hand to Gen*
XStrike8: Things happen, I s'pose.
Idran1701: ...would you...stop...calling me...that?
EbilRyuuzoku: *takes it, he can tell that she's shaking pretty badly from the whole thing*
Idran1701: You...all right?
Arch mage144: *THUD*

Arch mage144: *our good friend Michael, overcome by his wounds, collapses*
XStrike8: >.< Dammit.
XStrike8: 's always somethin, I tell ya.
EbilRyuuzoku: O.O Oh no! *tries to compose herself* We need to get him inside.
XStrike8: *picks up Michael as gently as can be managed*
EbilRyuuzoku: *tries her best to help*
Idran1701: *wheezing in his unconsciousness*

Arch mage144: H: ...lovely.
Arch mage144: H: Let's take care of the wounds...
Arch mage144: H: ...maybe I should get some heavy duty gardening equipment.
EbilRyuuzoku: It's my fault...he was here for me... I'm sorry.
XStrike8: I believe I've got a better idea....
XStrike8: 's gonna cost a bit, tho....
