You have just entered room "werphere."
THENinjaRabbi has entered the room.
FFFan80 has entered the room.
FFFan80: *currently has a midget danging from his grip*
Lithaladhwen: *currently really wanting to be put down*
PsychoQuadDuck: *currently leaning on his staff - though he quickly goes back to all fours*
Lithaladhwen: Look. I can use it because of the way my powers work.
FFFan80: Use it for what, exactly?
THENinjaRabbi: *holds onto it protectively*
Lithaladhwen: *defeated sigh* It'll let me teleport a little.
Lithaladhwen: *looks up* And it's my birthright!
FFFan80: Hmm...
THENinjaRabbi: *looks over at Stephan*
FFFan80: So pretty much
FFFan80: Whatever you can do right now
FFFan80: This thing makes you better at all of it.
Lithaladhwen: By letting me teleport. Yes.
Lithaladhwen: Teleporting makes everyone better at stuff.
Lithaladhwen: I told you, and you said you'd put me down if I told you.
THENinjaRabbi: You did say that.
FFFan80: ...*sighs*
FFFan80: -\/-; *...puts the kid down*
Lithaladhwen: *is on the floor once more*
Lithaladhwen: Now, may I please have that now?
THENinjaRabbi: *Flaps down* Yes.
THENinjaRabbi: *holds it out to him*
Lithaladhwen: *relieved smile* Thank you. *takes it and puts it around his head*
FFFan80: ...*readies himself for... something* ¬_¬
Lithaladhwen: Now see, this is what it does.
Lithaladhwen: *teleports... a little. To the other side of the room.*
Lithaladhwen: See?
Lithaladhwen: *does so again*
Lithaladhwen: *teleports behind Stephan*
PsychoQuadDuck: At least now I get why the giants would have wanted it.
Lithaladhwen: Now do you believe I'm not going to kill you or anything?
Lithaladhwen: Man. I like you guys, but wow.
Lithaladhwen: You're edgy.
THENinjaRabbi: That's what happens when you give the bad guy what he wants too often.
THENinjaRabbi: *Scraches his head*
Lithaladhwen: *sigh* I guess.
Lithaladhwen: But anyway, should we head back? I told Dawn I would be back. I promised.
Lithaladhwen: A man always keeps his word.
THENinjaRabbi: Alright. I see why not.
PsychoQuadDuck: Yeah, let's go.
Lithaladhwen: Okay, then.
FFFan80: ......
FFFan80: Just curious, Joss
Lithaladhwen: *scowls at Stephan and leads the way out*
THENinjaRabbi: *Follows Joss*
FFFan80: Does Dawn know what you can do with this thing?
PsychoQuadDuck: *follows Joss as well*
Lithaladhwen: Probably.
Lithaladhwen: She knows about me, if that's what you mean.
Lithaladhwen: *walking and talking*
Lithaladhwen: Why?
FFFan80: Just curious.
Lithaladhwen: I guess maybe I would be, too.
FFFan80: Just so you know kid.
THENinjaRabbi: *Just following in silence*
Lithaladhwen: *is wearing his headband and walking very grandly*
FFFan80: Nothing personal earlier. Rather be an asshole first and still be alive, than be nice and get blasted into oblivion for it.
PsychoQuadDuck: *following pretty silently as well. He still hasn't really opted to walk upright*
Lithaladhwen: Well. That does make sense.
Lithaladhwen: You were, but you are because you weren't and so you aren't.
Lithaladhwen: ^_^
FFFan80: ......
FFFan80: .......
FFFan80: Come again? o_ó
Lithaladhwen: asshole. alive. nice. blasted.
Lithaladhwen: See?
FFFan80: ......
Lithaladhwen: Not that would have blasted you.
Lithaladhwen: I wouldn't have.
FFFan80: Short of reading your mind kid. I wouldn't know that.
FFFan80: You'd be surprised what kinda crap kids can pull on people.
Lithaladhwen: No. I wouldn't be.
Lithaladhwen: But it's okay.
Lithaladhwen: Are you guys going to leave after we get back, or do you want to stay a while?
THENinjaRabbi: I dunno.
Lithaladhwen: I know you said you had things to do.
THENinjaRabbi: Yeah.
THENinjaRabbi: We still have some stuff to do.
FFFan80: Actually, I'm curious to see how Dawn reacts to your 'victory' there.
FFFan80: IM: ...which this could still be tied into for all we know
Lithaladhwen: I think she'll be glad, but I don't think she likes the whole 'me leaving' thing. She has a thing against my dad, I think.
FFFan80: If we end up going, we're probably gonna need to restock our supplies.
Lithaladhwen: She says he was too hard on me.
FFFan80: ......
FFFan80: Really now.
Lithaladhwen: I don't think she's right.
Lithaladhwen: He was training me to be a warrior. *displays burnscarred arm*
FFFan80: ...heh.
FFFan80: I remember my first burnmark.
Lithaladhwen: Yeah?
FFFan80: A very helpful lesson:
FFFan80: Some lapdragons breath fire, apparently.
FFFan80: Especially when grabbed by the tail <.<
Lithaladhwen: Oh! Not good...
PsychoQuadDuck: .......
PsychoQuadDuck: IM: What the fuck were you DOING to it, Stephan?
Lithaladhwen: *reach the gate to the estate*
FFFan80: Oh well, I've had worse.
Lithaladhwen: *knocks, and Glinsst answers*
Lithaladhwen: G: Joss. It's good to see you.
Lithaladhwen: G: You look victorious.
Lithaladhwen: G: *opens the way for everyone*
THENinjaRabbi: *Follows Joss inside*
PsychoQuadDuck: *it's at this point Damon switches to walking upright and using his staff like a cane. Walking on all fours tends to look weird*
FFFan80: *ditto*
PsychoQuadDuck: *anyway, he too follows Joss*
Lithaladhwen: *Joss boldly walks in, drawing some admiring looks for his new headgear. Glinss't stays by the gate, but Dawn leaves a group of children to approach the party.*
Lithaladhwen: D: Are any of you hurt? You seem all right, but --you know.
Lithaladhwen: D: I'm glad you're back, Joss. Though I suppose that means you're leaving us?
FFFan80: ...no, I always walk around with bruises and burns.
Lithaladhwen: J: *nods*
PsychoQuadDuck: Nothing a little rest can't fix.
FFFan80: IM: Kinda f#@king question is that... >\/>
THENinjaRabbi: They were a little tougher than expected, but we'll survive.
Lithaladhwen: D: Well, thank you again for helping him. He's a brave boy, but sometimes he doesn't quite know his own limits.
FFFan80: He's a tough kid.
THENinjaRabbi: Yep.
Lithaladhwen: D: Well, will you be staying?
THENinjaRabbi: It's up to the others.
FFFan80: ...either that or sleep outside.
PsychoQuadDuck: I don't see a reason not to stay...
Lithaladhwen: D: We don't have much space to offer with all the children staying here, but since you're friends of Joss' I could find some room.
FFFan80: If there's space, I'll just sleep on the floor. Long as there's a roof I could care less.
Lithaladhwen: D: I can't imagine that will be necessary.
THENinjaRabbi: I say we only stay the night.
THENinjaRabbi: I wish to report back.
FFFan80: Make sure you ask what all-important take was taking his time >_>
PsychoQuadDuck: I was also counting on only one night.
Lithaladhwen: D: I understand. Well, let me see what I can do about finding rooms. *to Stephan* With BEDS.
Lithaladhwen: *goes*
FFFan80: *task
THENinjaRabbi: You can ask him yourself.
Lithaladhwen: J: Well, I'm glad you're at least hanging around for the night.
FFFan80: ....
OnlineHost: FFFan80 rolled 1 20-sided die: 18
Lithaladhwen: *Dawn returns and leads people to adjacent rooms to spend the night.*
Lithaladhwen: D: Glinss't has been instructed to open the gate for you whenever you need. Sleep well, and I'll see you in the morning.
Lithaladhwen: *Time lapse?*
PsychoQuadDuck: *I don't see a reason why NOT to time lapse*
FFFan80: *sure*
Lithaladhwen: *It is so.*
Lithaladhwen: *Everyone returns to Doma without being attacked by giants. Good for you.*
Arch mage144: *exists*
Arch mage144: *specifically, is sitting in his office, folding parchment into odd geometric shapes to amuse himself*
FFFan80: *is travel banter ok?*
Lithaladhwen: *sure!*
FFFan80: ....just a thought here.
FFFan80: But is anyone else still bothered by how those Giants reacted?
PsychoQuadDuck: Well, only by how swiftly they said to kill.
FFFan80: ...hmmm...
THENinjaRabbi: It's a little disturbing.
FFFan80: *shrug* Eh... maybe all this shit's just made me too paranoid.
FFFan80: They did seem a bit divided there...
THENinjaRabbi: In any case, we'll just have to report this back to Hakaril.
FFFan80: ...oh well, they're loss.
FFFan80: *their
FFFan80: Oh... this should be good.
THENinjaRabbi: We're almost there.
FFFan80: 9_< ...how many years has it been anyway...
THENinjaRabbi: *Knocks on Hakaril's door*
Arch mage144: Come in! *door opens*
FFFan80: *looks around*
Arch mage144: *Hakaril's office, as is typical, is a huge mess*
THENinjaRabbi: Watch your step.
FFFan80: IM: Some things never change apparently...
FFFan80: <\/<? 9\/9?
Arch mage144: *there are scroll tubes and pieces of parchment everywhere, the occasional porn magazine, and some bizarre artifacts and devices strewn about his desk and bookshelves*
THENinjaRabbi: Well, we're back.
Arch mage144: Oh, yes.
Arch mage144: Did you find the missing children?
THENinjaRabbi: Yes.
FFFan80: Maybe
THENinjaRabbi: We think.
Arch mage144: *pokes idly at a model of a planar cosmology sitting on his desk*
Arch mage144: How can you be uncertain about finding a horde of orphans?
FFFan80: ...because we don't know who the fuck is missing, possibly? <\/<
Arch mage144: They're a bunch of kids. I don't have a better description. They're not exactly all related as far as I know.
THENinjaRabbi: We found out that a bunch of children are going to a location east of here. There's a woman named Dawn watching over them.
THENinjaRabbi: I think it's suspicious, but I have nothing to go on.
Arch mage144: ...what.
FFFan80: .....
Arch mage144: Dawn.
FFFan80: IM: Well that can't be good.
Arch mage144: Did you get her last name?
FFFan80: Yes, Dawn.
FFFan80: No but.
FFFan80: *describes the woman*
Arch mage144: ...fuck.
Arch mage144: FUCK.
FFFan80: ......
THENinjaRabbi: What?
FFFan80: ....so how fucked are we exactly? e_e;
Arch mage144: *throws the planar cosmology model across the room, which causes lots of brightly colored glass spheres and disks to shatter against the wall*
Arch mage144: *the shards clatter to the ground*
THENinjaRabbi: Calm down, Hakaril.
Arch mage144: Damnit! That psionic bitch is alive!?
FFFan80: .....
PsychoQuadDuck: IM: ..........
FFFan80: Psionic?
Arch mage144: I don't think you get it.
FFFan80: ...no shit.
Arch mage144: Kerov, did you read the reports on Elaith Thenswick?
FFFan80: So mind enlightening us?
THENinjaRabbi: I only perused them.
Arch mage144: She works for him.
THENinjaRabbi: ...oh.
FFFan80: ....
FFFan80: Him who?
Arch mage144: ...
Arch mage144: The only reason you don't know who he is is because we stopped him.
Arch mage144: Look.
Arch mage144: Powerful necromaner. Distant blood relative of Reshtaha, god of death. Name familiar?
FFFan80: .....
Arch mage144: He got his hands on some artifacts that let him dominate and utterly control amazingly powerful extraplanar dragons to impress a woman.
Arch mage144: And she didn't like him anyway. Necrophilia's one of her turn-offs.
THENinjaRabbi: Wow.
FFFan80: .....
FFFan80: ........
FFFan80: ............
Arch mage144: This is seven flavors of bad.
FFFan80: The FUCK?
PsychoQuadDuck: IM: That's just crushing.
Arch mage144: WHAT DO YOU THINK I'VE BEEN SAYING?
THENinjaRabbi: Well, what do you suggest then?
Arch mage144: ...I'm going to organize an army contingent. We're moving out and finding that bitch. She should be dead!
FFFan80: Wait, wait, wait.
FFFan80: So you're fucking telling me
Arch mage144: I don't know who brought her back...but it's not going to work.
FFFan80: We just dumped some little mind magic using kid
FFFan80: With some fucked up headband
THENinjaRabbi: Oh, hell.
Arch mage144: You what?
THENinjaRabbi: I KNEW this was going to happen.
FFFan80: To some bitch who serves some demi-god lich thing?
Arch mage144: ...
Arch mage144: You gave her a magical artifact!?
FFFan80: ....
PsychoQuadDuck: Not her, no.
Arch mage144: Yeah. It'll be really hard to take it from a little boy.
THENinjaRabbi: We might as well have.
Arch mage144: *facepalms*
FFFan80: e.e++ *all sorts of pissed off*
Arch mage144: I don't have words for this.
THENinjaRabbi: Dammit. Why can the person we hand the "magic item" to ever have good intentions?
FFFan80: Because life
FFFan80: fucking
FFFan80: sucks
Arch mage144: That's just how the cosmos works, I suppose.
FFFan80: >_< That's why
Arch mage144: This isn't the time to worry about that.
Arch mage144: I'll go organize an army contingent. Kerov, I don't know who you volunteered to pay for this little excursion, but give them 7,500 gp.
Arch mage144: *gil
Arch mage144: *stands and starts to walk out* And don't touch anything in here. You might die.
Arch mage144: *exits, looking deeply disturbed*
THENinjaRabbi: Yes, I'm well aware of the dangers.
THENinjaRabbi: Alright. You heard him.
THENinjaRabbi: Come with me, I'll get your pay.
FFFan80: *someone, looking very much like Stephan, stops at the door, looking curiously at Hakaril* >_>?
Arch mage144: ...Dan, not now. International crisis on my hands. Your brother just handed an evil bitch a magical artifact.
FFFan80: .....
Arch mage144: *walks past brusquely*
FFFan80: *blink blink*
FFFan80: .......
FFFan80: *blink blink*
FFFan80: ........
FFFan80: *storms in the room!*
FFFan80: *looks at Kerov and Damon briefly, then Stephan*
FFFan80: .....
FFFan80: .....
THENinjaRabbi: Don't ask.
FFFan80: YOU DID WHAT?!
FFFan80: *sighs*
FFFan80: Hello to you too brother ¬_¬;
PsychoQuadDuck: *sighs, looking rather... is it disappointed or distressed? Hard to say*
FFFan80: Look, whatever the hell happened, we'll fix it
FFFan80: No one uses me and gets away with it.
FFFan80: *sighs*
FFFan80: ~_~; ...exactly... how bad... are we talking here?
FFFan80: .....
FFFan80: I'm guessing from the silence, that bad >_>;
PsychoQuadDuck: I think it could be that bad, yes.
FFFan80: So... what, happened exactly? o_o;
PsychoQuadDuck: I still don't know how I can deal with this.
PsychoQuadDuck: Anyway....
FFFan80: Usually takes something pretty bad to get Hakaril worked up that badly.
PsychoQuadDuck: I'll let Stephan and maybe Kerov explain.
FFFan80: ...well? o_o
THENinjaRabbi: There's not much to explain, really.
FFFan80: What he said. And I really don't feel like going over it all either right now -\/-
FFFan80: ....fine fine >_>;
FFFan80: Look just... tell me if it's something I can help with, OK? Specially if the city's in danger too.
FFFan80: Whatever, I'm sure Chuck'll ask you all to thwack whatever the hell it is anyway 9\/9
FFFan80: ....e_e; *sighs* ~_~; I don't have time for this right now. We'll talk later >\/>; *scoots out*
PsychoQuadDuck: *shaking his head*
FFFan80: ......*sighs*
FFFan80: -\/- ...so now what?
PsychoQuadDuck: I don't really know. I'm still trying to deal with the fact I could have put Doma in danger.
FFFan80: ...I don't know about you, but I'm pretty sure of it myself right now.
FFFan80: >\/> So what do you plan on doing about it?
PsychoQuadDuck: I myself don't have a clue what I'm going to do.
FFFan80: ...well... as much as it pains me to give credit to the monarchy.
FFFan80: I'd say asking Hak there's a safe bet, if you wanna do something about it.
