You have just entered room "frombeneathitdevours."
Mekta satak kai has entered the room.
Mekta satak kai: Send Brian one?
Arch mage144 has entered the room.
Besyanteo has entered the room.
Besyanteo: (Evenin folks.)
Mekta satak kai: (Evenin'.)
Besyanteo: (On second thought...)
Besyanteo: (Yeah, that'll do.)
Mekta satak kai: (I'm actually...keeping my font this time.)
Besyanteo: (!)
Mekta satak kai: (Pulling out ye olde avatar means we keep the bolded mauve.)
Besyanteo: (Who are you and brian using?)
Besyanteo: (Got pulled off. Anyway!)
Besyanteo: (Trying out someone new. I feel guilty putting him in a mercenary mission. Just a little.)
PapatymisonN: (... mauve? That looks like brown to me.)
Besyanteo: (Considering he's about 12. =D)
Besyanteo: (And different monitors and display settings will do that. Though, yes, that comes out as brown for me as well.)
Mekta satak kai: (Brown is different. As you can see.)
Besyanteo: (... Not really.)
Besyanteo: (They look the same. o.o;-)
PapatymisonN: (He's right. They do.)
Arch mage144: (Also, I don't know who I'm playing yet.)
Mekta satak kai: (You people need to like...take an art class or paint or something.)
Mekta satak kai: (Or have monitors with better color.)
Mekta satak kai: (The second has more yellow in it.)
Arch mage144: (I actually have very little idea as to what's going on, since Charles has told me nothing direct and it was mostly "hey I want to do an RP thing tonight")
Mekta satak kai: (Anyway.)
Mekta satak kai: (Same.)
PapatymisonN: (Mine's a 17 inch flatscreen.)
Besyanteo: (PS 1st Gen RP,)
Arch mage144: (I know that much.)
Besyanteo: (heading into a town near Doma City that suddenly stopped communicating with the capital. No people or tradE)
FFFan80 has entered the room.
Besyanteo: (Guards hired our characters to go check it out)
PapatymisonN: (^_^)
PapatymisonN: (Hiya Dave.)
FFFan80: (will be a few, trying to finish up something)
Mekta satak kai: (Myrnal tries to help the guard every now and again.)
PapatymisonN: (Also: I'm stating now, as I got burned in a previous RP.)
PapatymisonN: (If you roll for initiative, YOU ARE IN COMBAT 100%.)
PapatymisonN: (I do not care if you don't IMPLICITLY state you enter said area for combat.)
Besyanteo: (... What, people walked out or something?)
PapatymisonN: (If you roll, you're there.)
Mekta satak kai: (Good deal.)
Mekta satak kai: (I'll be paying attention to such things.)
PapatymisonN: (Someone rolled for init on me, but didn't actually ENTER battle.)
Mekta satak kai: (....)
PapatymisonN: (Yeah.)
Arch mage144: (Uh. What?)
Mekta satak kai: ( Link to things for Herr GM. )
Besyanteo: (Who will you use Dave? :o)
PapatymisonN: (You see, to be IN the battle, you needed to enter this little room, and said person didn't actually ENTER the room. Or at least, didn't say one way or the other.)
Arch mage144: (I guess that, based on the description of the RP...)
PapatymisonN: (Despite the other two PCs going in...)
Besyanteo: (So, you had a metagamer.)
Arch mage144: (I'll play Zeke.)
Besyanteo: (Heh.)
FFFan80: (Well, as much as I overuse him, he does have a philsys sheet o.o)
Besyanteo: (I hear good thigns about Zeke. =D)
FFFan80: (hmm)
PapatymisonN: (As do I. I'm very glad he'll be here.)
FFFan80: (this is philsys correct?)
Besyanteo: (PS 1Gen)
PapatymisonN: (Da.)
FFFan80: (Uh)
Besyanteo: (Or, the majority of your repetoire.)
Arch mage144: (He's in here http://p068.ezboard.com/frpgww60462frm17.showMessage?topicID=221.topic )
Mekta satak kai: (Zeke. This is going to be another RP where Zeke isn't allowed to die because he can't leave Myrnal alone with these crazy people.)
FFFan80: (Anyone care that the character never got leveled from his last Philsys RP? ^_^; )
Besyanteo: (... That's kind of a personal thing. You should want to level your character,s but certainly aren't required. o.o)
Mekta satak kai: (Makes no nevermind to me.)
PapatymisonN: (Nor me.)
Besyanteo: (Also: I have already linked Cha to my sheet.)
FFFan80: ( *punts EZ Board* There ya go )
Besyanteo: (Ha)
FFFan80: (Also also: I have a bad feeling I added the Xp from dark tiding wrong >_>; )
FFFan80: (Anyway! )
Besyanteo: (Hm? ... There was the one accidental level up we talked about.)
Mekta satak kai: (This is gonna be a party fulla ornery.)
FFFan80: (*angst!*)
Mekta satak kai: (*same!*)
Besyanteo: (And, to make it all worse,)
PapatymisonN: (This should be... quite good. ^_^_
Besyanteo: (You have a rambunctious 12 year old following you around,)
Besyanteo: (obsessed with your coolness.)
Mekta satak kai: (Wait, what?)
Mekta satak kai: (There are MORE?!)
Besyanteo: ( bottom of the list )
Besyanteo: (=D)
FFFan80: (...*going senile apparently* whut?)
Mekta satak kai: (How does Stephan accomplish this shit?)
FFFan80: (wait wait wait)
Mekta satak kai: (He has a fucking fan club.)
FFFan80: (I... don't remember this o_o; )
Besyanteo: (... no, see, this is not something that's happened in the past.)
Besyanteo: (I just can't see it not happening once things are under way.)
Mekta satak kai: (There's apparently more than one rambunctious twelve year old willing to follow Stephan around obsessed with his coolness.)
Mekta satak kai: (Aside from Joss, he may acquire Spark.)
Mekta satak kai: (That's fucking amazing.)
Besyanteo: (=D)
FFFan80: (Midoku: ...perhaps I should prepare some form of fan publication for you? ^_^ )
FFFan80: (Stephan: e_e+++ )
Mekta satak kai: (If not for certain obvious factors, playing Joss would be tempting.)
PapatymisonN: (Why are you people surprised? Dark angsty antiheroes are well-desired by young boys.)
PapatymisonN: (Just look at Spawn, for crying out loud...)
Besyanteo: (And, we begin?)
FFFan80: (Dan: ...v_v *sighs* )
Mekta satak kai: ( Joss Hunter. )
Mekta satak kai: (See?)
PapatymisonN: (And, we begin.)
PapatymisonN: <rp>
Besyanteo: <Could also have been named Nip!>
Mekta satak kai: <Is not really named Myrnal!>
Arch mage144: <Zeke Mazuo, Mercenary for Hire>
FFFan80: <Tends to speak with colorful language>
Mekta satak kai: (Indeed. Mainly a lovely shade of green.)
PapatymisonN: *It is the beginning of fall in Doma City. The trees long to cling to summer as their leaves begin their descent into reds, yellows and oranges. Somehow, a lone, green leaf has fallen away from its mother tree, and attached itself*
PapatymisonN: *... to the newest posting on the "Board".*
PapatymisonN: *It declares: Town of Curtland Uncommunicative. Need Investigation Team. Transport Provided. 500 gil reward, plus expenses. Inquire Immediately.*
PapatymisonN: *it then gives the time at which to meet at the board.*
PapatymisonN: *That time... is now.*
Mekta satak kai: *Saw the notice board while out walking Heinrich, and headed back once she saw that the notice hadn't been taken down.*
Besyanteo: *There's a kitsunjin there! He's a short thing! He's standing on bare tippy toes to read it!*
FFFan80: *two men stand by the sign, looking very similar!*
Besyanteo: *He's also not wearing a shirt. He has am oversized pair of blue pants, with red patches on the knees, and a thick leather belt, from which manmy small pouches dangle*
Arch mage144: *is at the board, leaning against it with his arms crossed and looking very casual*
Besyanteo: (many*)
FFFan80: Angry looking one with blue platemail: ...so this is the one you were talking about?
Mekta satak kai: *waves to Hyral-people*
Mekta satak kai: IM: People I like. These are good things.
Arch mage144: *very tall and clearly Valthi, his blue hair is tied back into a long ponytail that goes all the way down to his waist; he is dressed in a black coat and leather with lots of rivets*
FFFan80: Boy-scout looking one with a trenchcoat and light plate armor: Yeah. I know you said you were looking for some extra pay. And, something about this worries me... >.>;
FFFan80: *nods to Myrnal* Small world.
Arch mage144: *additionally, he wears a shirt with a stylized logo that reads "CRIMSON DESTROYER"*
FFFan80: ....
Mekta satak kai: Yeah. Could certainly be worse. How you been, Zeke?
FFFan80: *raises an eyebrow at the Valthi* o\/ó
Besyanteo: *As for the rest of how he looks... well, honestly, the damned furries all kind of look alike, don't they? But he's red! With a white jaw, neck, chest and stomach! And his hands and feet are black. Yup, fox-like.*
Arch mage144: Eh? *quirks an eyebrow and looks up* Ah, sorry. I was...distracted. Staring off into space, y'see.
FFFan80: Ze 'Boyscout': ...well, I guess I should get back to the castle. ^_^;
Arch mage144: Alright. Work's been short lately. Been bored, nothing to do but party and dance with girls. You know how it is.
Arch mage144: Guess I've got something to do now, eh?
FFFan80: Angry-one: ...wait, you're not going? o\/o?
Besyanteo: Hm? =<.<= ... Oh hey! Are you people helping out with this thing too?
Mekta satak kai: Yeah. Pretty much the same here. As much as drinking and dancing with girls is fun......actual work is nice.
FFFan80: Angry-man: ......6\/6? *distracted by the little guy*
Arch mage144: Huh? *looks at the fox-dude* Yeah, sure.
Mekta satak kai: Daniel. You dragged Stephan here and aren't coming?
Mekta satak kai: *waves to that random small-one*
FFFan80: Daniel: .....
Besyanteo: *He smiles for them all* Oh good. I was hoping I wouldn't be the only one. I've been waiting here all day!
Arch mage144: IM: Little kitsunejin, scowling knight, ninja chick.
Arch mage144: Man, nobody ever taught you it pays to arrive fashionably late?
FFFan80: Daniel: ...Well um... I would but... <.<; ...I really need to stay for the kids, with the wife out of town and all...
FFFan80: Daniel: ...soI'llJustBeGoing... GoodLuck! ^_^;
FFFan80: Daniel: *zoom!*
Besyanteo: *he jumps around, his pouches rattlign crazzily as he does* What? No. o.o Does that help?
FFFan80: Angry-Man: .....
Mekta satak kai: ...
FFFan80: Angry-Man: .....e_e+++++
PapatymisonN: *a fella approaches the group, in royal colours, but clothes that look like he drives wagons*
Mekta satak kai: *sigh*
Arch mage144: Sure. Draws more attention to you if you walk in five minutes late. *smirks* If you show up early, you just become one of the crowd.
Besyanteo: Ooooooh. o.o
Arch mage144: So, Myrnal, you know this guy? *jerks his thumb at Stephan*
FFFan80: @$#@ing bloody son of a.... rawr.... -\/-++++
Besyanteo: >.o
Besyanteo: <.< ... Please don't sue the bad words. I don't like them.
PapatymisonN: Howdy folks. Y'all the ones who are here fer the Curtl'nd mishin?
Mekta satak kai: Yeah. He's a good kid. *to Stephan* Right?
Besyanteo: >.>
FFFan80: ...huh? e_e
Arch mage144: He looks like he ate somethin' that doesn't agree with him.
Besyanteo: Yup!
Mekta satak kai: *chuckles*
Besyanteo: *looking at the guard person*
Arch mage144: Yeah, that's me. Here for the mission. *points to self with his thumb*
Mekta satak kai: *lifts a hand in agreement*
FFFan80: *sighs and rubs his temples*
FFFan80: -\/-; Here for whatever the hell this is, yeah.
PapatymisonN: OK. You three come with me.
PapatymisonN: M'wagon's this way.
Mekta satak kai: *shrugs* You're the boss.
PapatymisonN: *heads for the nearest exit from town*
FFFan80: ....*headcounts*
Arch mage144: *counts* Aren't there four of us?
Besyanteo: *Jumps down from the small box he was standing on, and follows!*
PapatymisonN: Eh?
Besyanteo: *again with the crazy rattling!*
PapatymisonN: ... th'kid's comin' too?
Arch mage144: *pointing in turn* One. Two. Three. Four.
Besyanteo: I am! o.o
Arch mage144: Guess that's your answer.
PapatymisonN: ... y'sure about this, lil britches? It might be dangerus... o.o
Besyanteo: ... o.o
Mekta satak kai: IM: That kid needs to stop making noise. Even when he's not talking he jingles and rattles. It's making me nervous.
Besyanteo: >.>
Besyanteo: Uhm...
Besyanteo: Yeah. o.o
Arch mage144: Kid can probably handle it. He showed up early, after all. Dedicated to the cause and everything.
Besyanteo: I am Spark of the Arrowfist! I can handle anything! ^_^
FFFan80: ......
Mekta satak kai: ...
PapatymisonN: ... w'll allright...
Arch mage144: Must be pretty sure of himself to hang around all day. *adjusts his beret*
Mekta satak kai: Sounds like someone we know. *to Stephan*
PapatymisonN: Ain't r'sponsible if'n ya die.
Mekta satak kai: Long as he isn't some half-crazed cult boy, we should be fine.
PapatymisonN: This way. *continues on the way he was going*
Arch mage144: *follows*
Besyanteo: *follows more!*
FFFan80: ...eeriely familiar, yeah.
FFFan80: IM: ...for more than one reason...
FFFan80: IM: ...arrowfist, where the hell have I heard that before...
Besyanteo: (And completely coincidentally: )
Mekta satak kai: (Indeed!)
Besyanteo: (Spark also has an affinity for fire based magic. =D)
Mekta satak kai: (...)
Besyanteo: (Just not nearly as powerful.)
Mekta satak kai: (This is going to wig out our poor Myrnal.)
FFFan80: (*pokes Bes* =[ )
FFFan80: ( ...now I have to do this )
Besyanteo: (What? The sheet was made way before I knew about Joss. :o)
FFFan80: Hey, kid?
Besyanteo: Hm? <.<
Mekta satak kai: (That makes it all the more entertaining.)
FFFan80: 6\/6 You... don't happen to specialize in setting things on fire or anything like that, do you?
Besyanteo: ...
Mekta satak kai: (I really wish I could play Joss, but there are too many reasons I can't. ;_; )
Besyanteo: How'd ya know? o.o
FFFan80: .....
Mekta satak kai: ...
FFFan80: o_o
Mekta satak kai: What the fuck.
FFFan80: -_-
Besyanteo: Is it cuz I'm red? 6.6
FFFan80: ...
FFFan80: What?
PapatymisonN: (*so damn amused*)
Besyanteo: It's cuz I'm red, huh? o.o
Arch mage144: *blinks*
Arch mage144: I'm totally lost.
Arch mage144: What's this have to do with anything?
Besyanteo: ... And please stop using the bad words.
Besyanteo: I don't like them. >.>;
Mekta satak kai: It's nothing. You remind us of the kid who burned down the Jade Dragon. Don't worry about it.
FFFan80: .....
Besyanteo: Huh? Oh, wow. I'd never do that. o.o;
Arch mage144: Aw, man, you just had to bring that up. That still depresses me.
Mekta satak kai: Good.
FFFan80: You don't belong to a group worshipping some obscure God, do you? 6\/6;
Besyanteo: ...
Besyanteo: Uhm...
Mekta satak kai: What Stephan said.
PapatymisonN: *they exit the main gate, and there is a wagon waiting, with a 4 chocobo team to pull it!*
Besyanteo: ... I don't think Gaera and Tunare are obscure... <.<;
Besyanteo: ... I'm a shaman! ... In training. *sage nod*
FFFan80: IM: ...oh thank the Gods...
Mekta satak kai: 'kay. Like I said, don't worry about it.
Arch mage144: A shaman, huh?
Besyanteo: Yeah. o.o
PapatymisonN: *opens the door to the wagon* All in, folks.
Arch mage144: See, I told you he could handle himself. I can tell these things.
Arch mage144: *hops in*
Mekta satak kai: *follows Zeke*
Besyanteo: *hops in as well! ... Wow, that kid jumps.*
FFFan80: *plops himself inside*
Mekta satak kai: >_> IM: Weird fucking kids.
Mekta satak kai: IM: I was a normal child, thank you.
Mekta satak kai: IM: I think.
Mekta satak kai: IM: Maybe.
PapatymisonN: *hops on top, whips the chocobos into shape, and heads off*
FFFan80: >\/>?
Besyanteo: *And he sits! ... Up high somewhere. Does the wagon have a roof?*
PapatymisonN: We won't be a half hour, folks.
PapatymisonN: *yep*
Besyanteo: *Then they get to watch him crawl out the window and on top of it. Or on one of it's supports.*
Arch mage144: Short trip. Works for me.
Mekta satak kai: ....Can we like....put a leash on him?
Arch mage144: IM: Is that kid a fox or a spider?
FFFan80: If you wanna
PapatymisonN: ... er... kid, can you get back in the cabin? Don't wantcha fallin' off.
Mekta satak kai: I do.
FFFan80: I sure as hell ain't holding it >_>
Besyanteo: What? I'll be fine. o.o
Mekta satak kai: Why not? You're stronger. You can keep him from clambering up on things.
Besyanteo: I just like the open air. >.>
FFFan80: ....
Mekta satak kai: Yeah. See? I'm right.
PapatymisonN: ... alright...
Besyanteo: (And with agi 4 and climbing skill... That'd have to be a damned bumpy ride. o.o)
FFFan80: ...having had that tried on me before.
PapatymisonN: *and they ride along, a not so bumpy ride...*
PapatymisonN: Oh.
FFFan80: <\/< I wouldn't recommend it, unless you want something dislocated very fast.
PapatymisonN: *the fella hands a scroll into the cabin*
PapatymisonN: Names, addresses, and next of kin.
FFFan80: .....
Besyanteo: *looks in the window when he sees the arm move*
Arch mage144: *takes the scroll*
Arch mage144: *writing*
FFFan80: What?
Arch mage144: "Zeke Mazuo"
Arch mage144: "Don't got one"
Arch mage144: "Uh...Kamos Mazuo."
Arch mage144: *pass*
Besyanteo: (Kamos: ... Dude, he's dead! RAWK!)
Mekta satak kai: *snort* Kamos. Last time I saw him he blew up a tree to show that he could.
Mekta satak kai: *takes*
FFFan80: ......
FFFan80: .........
FFFan80: You're... related to Kamos.
Arch mage144: Yeah, I'm the dude's cousin.
Arch mage144: Pathetic sometimes, ain't he?
FFFan80: ......
Mekta satak kai: "Myrnal Shalienza. The Shining Blade, Vermilis. Yanna and Kerran Shalienza."
Mekta satak kai: *pass*
FFFan80: *takes*
Besyanteo: Kamos. o.o ... Kay. >.> ... Mose! ... Kaaaay moooooose. *toys with the name for a while*
Mekta satak kai: ....
Besyanteo: weird name. o.o
Mekta satak kai: IM: Please stop. Please. Please stop.
Besyanteo: (=D)
Mekta satak kai: IM: Gods help him if he starts on mine.
Mekta satak kai: IM: "mer NAAAAAAHHHHL! mer NAAAAAAHHHHHL!"
Mekta satak kai: IM: Not good.
FFFan80: "Stephan Tornas; Doma Works ; Midoku Tornas"
PapatymisonN: (... he took Midoku's name? o.o)
FFFan80: *leans out the back* Hey, shorty.
FFFan80: *holds up*
Besyanteo: *grab!*
Mekta satak kai: (Aww.)
Mekta satak kai: (His wiki says so, Charles.)
Arch mage144: (He did indeed.)
Besyanteo: 6.6 ... *grabs a piece of charcoal from a bag!*
Besyanteo: *And writes for a while*
Mekta satak kai: (It's been common knowledge for some time that Stephan is secretly adorable.)
FFFan80: (Stephan: *<\/<*+++ )
Besyanteo: *... and he keeps writing.*
FFFan80: .....
Arch mage144: IM: Dude's got a long name.
PapatymisonN: *leans over to see what the hell he's writing*
FFFan80: 9\/9 You need help up there?
Besyanteo: *He seems to be writing down the names of half the arrowfist clan, and the last half dozen locations they've settled in that they might be located at.*
Besyanteo: *Aparently the clan's nomadic.*
PapatymisonN: ..... what are ya... o.o
Besyanteo: Shhh.
PapatymisonN: Uh... ya just need... ONE name, kiddo.
Besyanteo: Writing. Must concentrate. Rude. 6.6
FFFan80: ....
FFFan80: *gets back inside*
Mekta satak kai: o_ô
FFFan80: <\/<;; ...Don't ask.
Mekta satak kai: Uh huh. I won't.
Besyanteo: *He eventually hands it back, once there's no room left*
Besyanteo: *and starts brushing charcoal dust off his paws*
Besyanteo: (... hands.)
Arch mage144: *quirks an eyebrow*
Besyanteo: (Fucking Redwall. x.x)
PapatymisonN: ... right... *rolls up the scroll*
Arch mage144: Whatever, man. You must have some list of kin.
PapatymisonN: (He's a furry, so, technically, they ARE paws.)
Besyanteo: Oh yeah!
PapatymisonN: o.o
Arch mage144: Huh.
Besyanteo: There's Master Stone, and miss Nightbreeze, and... *here ensues a long list of names*
Mekta satak kai: IM: That was excessive. If I wanted I could have included every dead relation, and everyone I'm almost related to, down to my three-legged scruffy huge-ass puppy.
Besyanteo: *It might just be every name he listed if they don't stop him.*
Arch mage144: Alright, alright, we get the idea.
Besyanteo: Huh? Oh, sorry.
PapatymisonN: (Timeskip, anyone?)
Besyanteo: Atleast I didn't list any of the dead relatives we commune with. o.o
Mekta satak kai: (Sure.)
Mekta satak kai: At least.
Besyanteo: (sure)
Arch mage144: (Aye)
PapatymisonN: *after a while (and some annoyance from Spark) the group arrives at the village of Curtland*
Mekta satak kai: (Some?)
Mekta satak kai: (That was a rather curt timeskip.)
PapatymisonN: (I'm good at those.)
Besyanteo: (^_^)
Mekta satak kai: (*punslaps Charles*)
PapatymisonN: *from what they can survey, the town is dead*
FFFan80: *...apparently has been ranting awhile* ...and he bloody expects me to do his bloody paladin wishy-washy crap for him.... I swear when I get back... e_e
PapatymisonN: (Roll int, all.)
OnlineHost: Besyanteo rolled 1 20-sided die: 16
Besyanteo: (25)
OnlineHost: FFFan80 rolled 1 20-sided die: 20
OnlineHost: Mekta satak kai rolled 1 20-sided die: 16
Mekta satak kai: (25)
FFFan80: (28)
Besyanteo: (... Ha)
Mekta satak kai: Sucks when the good guys rope you into missions, doesn't it?
Besyanteo: (... 28? How does that work? o.o)
Mekta satak kai: *is totally willing to encourage ranting of all kinds*
OnlineHost: Arch mage144 rolled 1 20-sided die: 20
FFFan80: (...)
PapatymisonN: *yup. One of the first things you notice is that huge gaping hole in the centre of the town*
Arch mage144: (32)
FFFan80: (Um, one sec)
Mekta satak kai: Well, that's bad sign number one.
Besyanteo: ... o_o
PapatymisonN: *from what you can tell, it destroyed two buildings in the process of being made*
Besyanteo: *just gapes. This is only significant from their view point because it shut him up*
FFFan80: (22 there, sorry)
Arch mage144: Well.
FFFan80: ...well fuck.
Besyanteo: (Dave: 26)
Besyanteo: (stat*3)
FFFan80: (*nod*)
PapatymisonN: ... well, ain't that somethin'.
Arch mage144: What happened here?
PapatymisonN: Damned if I know.
Arch mage144: Not much damage to the structures of the village, but...what the hell, man? How'd this even happen? A spell?
Mekta satak kai: Do we want to get out and check, or are we going to gawk out the window?
Arch mage144: *hops out of the carriage*
PapatymisonN: (I will be right back.)
FFFan80: *tries to scan the village astrally* <\/<? >\/>?
Besyanteo: *He stands, and bounds down from the top of the cart, and on into the cabin, and from there to the ground*
Arch mage144: *walks over toward the gaping hole*
Besyanteo: *Then he'll follow Zeke!*
Mekta satak kai: IM: Good. Let Zeke be the focus of juvenile adoration for now.
Arch mage144: Hmmm...
Mekta satak kai: IM: It's his turn, or something.
PapatymisonN: (Yeah, guys, please. Pause y'selves. I need to go do something, and I'll return promptly.)
Mekta satak kai: (Okay!)
Arch mage144: (Paused.)
PapatymisonN: (Aaaaaaaaaaand I'm back.)
Mekta satak kai: (Hullo.)
Besyanteo: (Whee)
PapatymisonN: *the astral is hard to read... there's death to it, no question... but... there's something... below... something powerful...*
Mekta satak kai: *crosses her arms and waits for magical investigation nonsense to be done with*
FFFan80: ...well, I'm sure this will shock and amaze all of you.
FFFan80: But something nasty's definitely down there, at least from the magic side of things.
Mekta satak kai: Cute.
Besyanteo: *peers over the edge of the hole, if it can be done safely*
Arch mage144: *peers down into the pit*
PapatymisonN: *it's a bunch of building rubble, to be sure*
PapatymisonN: (Int, you two.)

PapatymisonN: *Zeke spies something mechanical!*
PapatymisonN: *but it IS a fifteen foot drop so...*
Arch mage144: ...there's something down there.
Mekta satak kai: Great.
Besyanteo: Really? I don't see much... *he squints for effect*
Arch mage144: We need to get down. I'm not gonna jump or anything, so let's get a rope or something.
Besyanteo: I didn't remember to bring any. >.>;
PapatymisonN: *nothing is readily available*
Mekta satak kai: I'm really not excited about cartwheeling down into the hole.
Arch mage144: There's gotta be a ladder or rope or something we can borrow from somebody.
Arch mage144: Search the houses that are still standing or whatever.
PapatymisonN: *all the residences seem to be behind the two destroyed buildings*
Besyanteo: I'll look!
Besyanteo: *and before anyone can protest, he's bounding off!*
Mekta satak kai: I'll....go with you.
Mekta satak kai: *follows*
FFFan80: *sighs*
Arch mage144: *the hole's not so big that we can't go around it, I assume*
Mekta satak kai: IM: Fucking kid.
Besyanteo: *heading for the ruined houses. Or maybe past.*
FFFan80: -\/-; ...this is off to a good start.
Arch mage144: Eh, what do you expect?
Mekta satak kai: *chases the boy*
PapatymisonN: *there's a general store to the right, and a guard house to the left, with a mansion next door to the guardhouse**
PapatymisonN: *and you'd have to go around the buildings, but you can get around*
Besyanteo: *Let's try the store first*
Mekta satak kai: *follows*
Mekta satak kai: I'll come with you for, um. Backup.
Mekta satak kai: IM: And fucking supervision.
Besyanteo: Huh? Oh! Kay! Thanks! ... Uhm... Mis... er.
Besyanteo: ... What's your name? >.>
PapatymisonN: *and the general store is very nice, very clean...*
PapatymisonN: *and very, VERY empty... like the rest of the town, you'll note...*
Besyanteo: ...
Besyanteo: o_o
Besyanteo: Those are some empty shelves right there.
Mekta satak kai: (brb)
Arch mage144: He's just a kid. It happens.
Arch mage144: Even if he's capable of handling himself, he's a kid. *shrug*
PapatymisonN: (Int, lil britches.)

Mekta satak kai: (I keep seeing INT and thinking init.)
Mekta satak kai: (Also, Charles wins for referencing our dear Sherlock.)
PapatymisonN: (Woo!)
PapatymisonN: *Myrnal doesn't know what the hell the kid's talking about*
Mekta satak kai: (Sherlock is awesome. As far as I'm concerned, he's the only decent person ever to bear this name. After all, the only others I've met are my family.)
Mekta satak kai: If you say so. I don't grocery shop, so I wouldn't know the difference.
PapatymisonN: (And we're still paused. Was simply acknowledging the roll.)
Besyanteo: (Yarr!)
Besyanteo: *And...!*
Besyanteo: *He suddenly runs forward, to inspect the thign he saw!*
PapatymisonN: *it's a good coil of rope!*
Besyanteo: Yay! Here we go!
PapatymisonN: *with a price tag on it for 50 gil*
Mekta satak kai: (But yeah. I'm going to start suffixing her name with its proper pronunciation. Everyone apparently thinks it's MERnle. It isn't! Damn you!)
Besyanteo: *he snatches it up, and runs on out to Zeke and Stephan*
Besyanteo: (I wouldn't know another way to pronounce it.)(
Mekta satak kai: That's some expensive rope. We-- Dammit!
Mekta satak kai: (Mer-NAHL)
Besyanteo: What? <.<
Mekta satak kai: *chases the kid* No running off.
Arch mage144: ...
Besyanteo: We're saving the town. And expenses are covered, the sign-
Arch mage144: *rope get*
Besyanteo: Hey!
Besyanteo: *loses 1x rope*
Besyanteo: 9.9
Mekta satak kai: That's not the point. No running away from the group.
Mekta satak kai: Makes me pissy.
OnlineHost: Besyanteo rolled 1 66-sided die: 38
PapatymisonN: (Back in just a sec. Don't do anything that requires a GM.)
Besyanteo: ... Oh. o.o
Besyanteo: ... They say it helps with that if you drink less water. *sage nod*
Mekta satak kai: They do say that yes. What you can do to help is not run off. Steal whatever you want. I'm not going to criticize. Kill things, steal things, whatever.
Mekta satak kai: But no running off.
Mekta satak kai: 'kay?
Besyanteo: ... We're not stealing. o.o
Mekta satak kai: We haven't killed anything either.
Arch mage144: ...thanks. Glad you were able to find some.
Besyanteo: We're borrowing, to save the town. And the sign said expenses.
Mekta satak kai: Borrowing. Heh. You sound like my mom.
Besyanteo: ... >.9
Mekta satak kai: Anyway. You get my point, don't you?
Besyanteo: Uhm. o.o
Besyanteo: ... No running?
Arch mage144: Especially around the swimming pool.
Mekta satak kai: ...Yeah, that.
Mekta satak kai: Thanks, Zeke.
Besyanteo: Oh yeah. You can fall and bonk you head. Hurts.
Arch mage144: No problem. *thumbs up*
Besyanteo: ... But there's no water here. I'll be fine. <.<
Arch mage144: I exist to serve. I'm a walking public service announcement.
PapatymisonN: (Here.)
Besyanteo: ... So lets go down! *looks over the hole edge again*
Mekta satak kai: You are. I feel safer just seeing you nearby.
Besyanteo: (And so learning is once again side stepped. ^^)
Arch mage144: Heh.
Besyanteo: (Also, Dave?)
Arch mage144: (Fox-boy: *is a Disgaea ninja; he even dodges what's good for him*)
Besyanteo: (... pause)
Mekta satak kai: (Hee.)
Besyanteo: (Dave's having some kind of trouble.)
PapatymisonN: (Oh. Woop. Yeah. Pause.)
FFFan80: (sorry x.x; all set)
Mekta satak kai: (Y'okay?)
FFFan80: So... who wants the lucky job of going first?
Besyanteo: 6.6
Besyanteo: *pointedly stops talking.*
Arch mage144: *shrug* Someone tie the rope to something sturdy and I'll go.
Besyanteo: I can do that.
Besyanteo: *hands out for the rope!*
PapatymisonN: *one problem.*
PapatymisonN: *this used to be a square, a fountain and everything*
PapatymisonN: *there's nothing to tie a rope to for a good ten metres*
Besyanteo: *What, squares have no lampposts?*
PapatymisonN: *not for ten metres they don't*
Besyanteo: *That's a large town square.*
Besyanteo: ... erf. Uhm.
Besyanteo: ... There is nothing. o_o
Besyanteo: <_< >_> *looks for that guard*
PapatymisonN: *waiting in the wagon*

Besyanteo: Bring the wagon over!
PapatymisonN: Eh? *looks up from his book*
PapatymisonN: What for?
Mekta satak kai: Heh. Just do it!
Arch mage144: Yeah, do it!
PapatymisonN: ... OK... *crawls up to the wagon's driver's seat*
PapatymisonN: Where do you want me to put it?
Besyanteo: Close to the hole!
Besyanteo: *waves rope dramatically in one hand* Come on!*
PapatymisonN: You guys better know what you're doing... *rides it over to the hole*
FFFan80: I think it's safe to say, we'll have to go one at a time.
Arch mage144: How much does that cart weigh?
Besyanteo: ... Enough? <.<
Besyanteo: *shrug*
PapatymisonN: Should be stable, fer what I THINK yer wantin' to do...
Besyanteo: *he starts tying the rope to the side of the cart! HE actually looks like he knows what he's doing!*
PapatymisonN: ... I'll get in, just in case...
PapatymisonN: *hops inside*
Besyanteo: *There's lots of loops and odd knots involved.*
Mekta satak kai: If I fall on my ass it's coming out of your hide, Spark.
Besyanteo: (Want me to make a check for a knot to hold the heavier people, or can I jsut have it?)
PapatymisonN: (Check it, Shecky.)

Besyanteo: *tosses the length down the hole*
Arch mage144: *climbs down*
Mekta satak kai: *reluctantly follows, fully expecting Zeke to check out her ass*
Arch mage144: *checks out her ass*
Mekta satak kai: -_-;
PapatymisonN: (*checks out her ass*)
Arch mage144: *check of opportunity!*
Arch mage144: IM: Nice ass. Too bad she only likes girls.
Arch mage144: IM: Addendum. Too bad she only likes girls and won't let me watch.
Besyanteo: *Looks at Stephan* Your turn. o.o
Mekta satak kai: (.....Dude. Zeke.)
Besyanteo: (=D)

FFFan80: Well... here goes nothing, I guess... 6\/6
FFFan80: *gets ready to head down*
PapatymisonN: *you all land on a pile of rubble, glass, wood, stone, and some metal...*
PapatymisonN: *that device... it can be found!*
Besyanteo: *And he goes down last!*
Mekta satak kai: *does NOT check out Stephan's ass at any point*

Besyanteo: (Well,)
FFFan80: (...whut?)
PapatymisonN: *pointy at points. but not all pointy*
Besyanteo: (I believe he mentioned broken glass.)
Mekta satak kai: (So does that mean Myrnal walks over it like Legolas over snow?)
Besyanteo: (Dave: REcall you told me in DT that the twins ahd metal boots?)
Mekta satak kai: (Because that might be too effeminate. =/ )
PapatymisonN: (Add that damage to your sheets, by the by.)
Besyanteo: (So, his AC applies.)
PapatymisonN: (Ah. Then never mind for Stephan.)

Arch mage144: I can't make lights, only darkness. So I can't help.
Mekta satak kai: And I can't do much but stab things quietly.
Arch mage144: Well, damn.
Besyanteo: It like... explodes.
Arch mage144: ...that's not good.
Besyanteo: And then I turn all black for a few days.
Besyanteo: And smell funny.
Arch mage144: Yeah, we'll pass on that.

PapatymisonN: (*gets the tape*)
FFFan80: o_o; IM: ...Huh?
Mekta satak kai: IM: Fucking children.
Besyanteo: ... *he shakily stands and hugs close to her*
Mekta satak kai: IM: I hate children. Panicky nuisances.
Besyanteo: *her leg or something*
Mekta satak kai: *sighs and allows it*
Mekta satak kai: IM: I wasn't this jittery when I was a kid. Hell, I'd killed people just fine by his age.
Arch mage144: Kid, you accepted a mission like this and you're afraid of dead bodies?
Mekta satak kai: IM: Must be a generation gap or something.
FFFan80: ...I think you answered your own question.
Besyanteo: I... I... *he stutters something. It's pretty mangled*
FFFan80: He's still a kid.
Arch mage144: *shrugs*
FFFan80: Pretending your killing something, and finally seeing something dead, are entirely different things... -\/-
FFFan80: You just don't realize it til it happens.
Mekta satak kai: *takes Spark's hand* Just stick close. Remember how I said no running off? Well, we won't leave you either. We're still here. So, um. Chill. It's okay.
Besyanteo: ... Kay...
Mekta satak kai: IM: I'm never having children. Never having them never ever.
Besyanteo: *And there is now a kitsunejin hand latched into hers. Like iron!*
FFFan80: IM: ...I...I can't make it better... ,6.6, ... ,ó.ò,
FFFan80: ...>_< *sighs and shakes his head*
Mekta satak kai: *rolls her eyes* So, shall we move on and find out relevant stuff?
Mekta satak kai: IM: And quit worrying about some fuzzy panicky kid?
FFFan80: Y...yeah, let's get movin...
FFFan80: IM: Just focus on this Stephan... bad thing of death and beatings down here...
FFFan80: *tries the astral viewing again*
Arch mage144: IM: Kids. Should've known. Figured he could take care of himself if he signed up.
Arch mage144: IM: That's what you do, man. You only sign up if you can handle the job.
PapatymisonN: *and now that you're down there, you can tell...*
PapatymisonN: *whatever was big is behind you... but there's something else not too far ahead...*
PapatymisonN: *and what's ahead is definitely unclean*
FFFan80: ....
Arch mage144: ...what?
FFFan80: you want the bad news or the really shitty news first?
Arch mage144: No news is good news, they say. What's up?
FFFan80: Whatever I sensed before, is somewhere behind us.
FFFan80: ...and there's something not good in front of us, too.
Mekta satak kai: Oh. Awesome.
FFFan80: Beyond that... I really can't tell.
Mekta satak kai: Uh huh.
Arch mage144: Whatever. We have to find out what it is. That's the mission.
PapatymisonN: *the only good news is that nothing seems to be moving*
FFFan80: ...well no shit. e_e
FFFan80: *what he said*
FFFan80: So, which one shall we say hello to first? >\/>
Arch mage144: Whatever was behind us...we would've seen it coming in.
Arch mage144: If we go further in, it might be able to trap us. But we didn't notice it...so I don't think it's a monster or anything.
Arch mage144: Unless it's invisible, in which case we're screwed anyway, right?
Mekta satak kai: Something like that.
FFFan80: *shrugs*
Besyanteo: *just looks around, not really talking*
Mekta satak kai: *w to Spark* Let me tell you something. Even if I let go of your hand and it doesn't look like I'm here.... I'm a ninja. I am. You just can't see me. 'kay?
Besyanteo: ... kay.
Mekta satak kai: *firm nod*
Mekta satak kai: Okay.
FFFan80: >\/> ...well, since we're screwed either way, I guess just keep going in.
FFFan80: *starts off*
Mekta satak kai: *follows, presumably with a kid in tow*
Besyanteo: *he'll follow when Myrnal does*
PapatymisonN: *and ahead, towards the not-as-bad thing?*
Arch mage144: ...*yes*
PapatymisonN: *OK, well, as you continue on, there's something you hear...*
PapatymisonN: *is it... a grunt? No... no, it's definitely a pained moan...*
Mekta satak kai: ...
FFFan80: ...huh.
Besyanteo: ... *w* a person?
Mekta satak kai: *nods*
FFFan80: *looks around*
Arch mage144: ...*silent*
Mekta satak kai: *w* I'm going to head up there. *lets go of Spark*
Mekta satak kai: Maybe have a look.
PapatymisonN: *it continues... it sounds like it's coming from more than one place...*
Besyanteo: *he lets her go, and watches*
Arch mage144: *w* Myrnal, creep ahead and see what's up there. You're least likely to be spotted.
Mekta satak kai: *nods and heads forward, doing the usual sneaky nonsense*
Mekta satak kai: (Stealth roll?)
PapatymisonN: (Definitely.)
Besyanteo: (Can I do int to see if Spark can follow her movements? :o)
OnlineHost: Mekta satak kai rolled 1 20-sided die: 6
PapatymisonN: (Alright.)
Mekta satak kai: (23? Math not so good tonight.)
OnlineHost: Besyanteo rolled 1 20-sided die: 8
Mekta satak kai: (I bet he can.)
Besyanteo: (20)
Mekta satak kai: (She isn't going to do the crazy ninja-vanish shit at this point. Just basic "don't make shitloads of noise" stuff.)
PapatymisonN: *as Myrnal (and, unbeknownst to her, Spark) approach the darkness, they make out five figures...*
Besyanteo: (... No, see, he's not following aftrer her physically.)
FFFan80: >\/> ...
Besyanteo: (He's watching her, and taking mental note.)
FFFan80: *keeps himself nearby the little guy, just in case*
PapatymisonN: (Ah, alright.)
Besyanteo: (This is sort of an excuse to gain stealth ranks if he ever levels.)
PapatymisonN: *they're shambling, or sitting, or leaning on the smooth cave wall...*
PapatymisonN: *Uh huh. Undead alright.*
Mekta satak kai: *pauses to watch them*
Mekta satak kai: IM: That's.... not usually good.
PapatymisonN: *Spark can make them out too*
Besyanteo: *being unfamiliar with the walking dead, he just looks confused. Creeped out, his fur standing on dead, but confused.*
FFFan80: 6\/6?
FFFan80: *crouches down and whispers* What's wrong now? o\/ó
Besyanteo: *w* ... I can see them... They're... movign funny.
Mekta satak kai: (They doing anything besides existing?)
Besyanteo: *w* Like they're not really awake or something... and they bump into things...
PapatymisonN: (Nope. They have not seen you.)
Besyanteo: *w* It's creepy...
Mekta satak kai: (So nothing more interesting to see. No crazy rituals or half-finished art projects, love poetry to the cute zombess in the grave nextdoor....alas.)
Mekta satak kai: *heads back to report to the others*
Besyanteo: (Stephan: ... Drunks? o_o)
Arch mage144: (BRB.)
PapatymisonN: (Kay.)
FFFan80: IM: ...why do I have a feeling I know what these things are... ~\/~;
Arch mage144: (Back)
PapatymisonN: (*waiting for Myrnal to report*)
Mekta satak kai: (Didn't know if you needed more rolls or whatnot. Sorry to hold people up.)
Mekta satak kai: *w* Undead.
Mekta satak kai: *w*Joy.
Mekta satak kai: *w* Five bundles of zombie joy.
Besyanteo: ...
Besyanteo: *Now this should be fun: * ...Zombies?
Arch mage144: *w* Oh, is that all?
Besyanteo: Uhm... *looks confused*
Mekta satak kai: *takes Spark's hand again absently and nods to Zeke*
Arch mage144: *w* Undead creatures. Animated corpses.
Besyanteo: ...
Arch mage144: *w* Dark magic is being used to make dead creatures move.
Arch mage144: *w* We're going to have to destroy them.
Besyanteo: *he shivvers, and his fur fluffs up again, while his ears bend back and liue flat against his skull.*
Besyanteo: *but he nods*
Arch mage144: *w* Get the jump on them with a fire spell or something and they won't stand a chance.
FFFan80: *gets his blade ready* e_e
Arch mage144: *gives Stephan a look*
FFFan80: >\/> *nods*
Mekta satak kai: *sighs* IM: I'm not as good with undead, but whatever. I kill the enemy. S'bout all I can do. So...give it a shot. Why not.
Mekta satak kai: IM: Alternative is not killing them, which is just stupid.
PapatymisonN: (OK, then. Everyone, roll initiative.)
OnlineHost: FFFan80 rolled 2 6-sided dice: 6 5
Besyanteo: (I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE THIS CHANCE TO DUCK OUT OF THE EVENTS, LIKE A CHEAP BASTARD.)
Besyanteo: ( I mean...)
OnlineHost: Besyanteo rolled 2 6-sided dice: 3 5
OnlineHost: Mekta satak kai rolled 2 6-sided dice: 5 5
Besyanteo: (13)
PapatymisonN: (See, at least you DECLARED it.)
Mekta satak kai: (16)
FFFan80: (19)
PapatymisonN: (You don't just NOT say it and expect the GM to pick up on your not-being-a-good-RPer.)
OnlineHost: Arch mage144 rolled 2 6-sided dice: 6 1
Mekta satak kai: (This is fair.)
Arch mage144: (10)
Besyanteo: (... HA)
OnlineHost: PapatymisonN rolled 2 6-sided dice: 1 3
OnlineHost: PapatymisonN rolled 2 6-sided dice: 5 2
Besyanteo: (Perfect steps of 3.)
OnlineHost: Unknown "//" command.
Mekta satak kai: (Weird.)
OnlineHost: PapatymisonN rolled 2 6-sided dice: 5 1
OnlineHost: PapatymisonN rolled 2 6-sided dice: 2 4
OnlineHost: PapatymisonN rolled 2 6-sided dice: 5 4
PapatymisonN: (OK, so, Stephan, Myrnal, Spark, Zombie 5, Zeke, Zombie 2, Zombie 4, Zombie 3, Zombie 1.)
PapatymisonN: (Whenever you're ready, Dave.)
FFFan80: *room full of zombies, there is only one appropriate course of action, naturally*
FFFan80: e_e *forms a ball of flames in his hand, and proceeds to hurl it into the closest bunch of zombies*
FFFan80: (Fireball)
OnlineHost: FFFan80 rolled 3 6-sided dice: 5 3 6
FFFan80: (10+4*2+14 = 32 damage)
PapatymisonN: (... heh.)
Mekta satak kai: (Zombies take aggravated fire damage, though. Generally. So that's not too shabby.)
PapatymisonN: *the fireball zooms towards the closeknit group, and engulfs them in flame*
PapatymisonN: *each and every one of them screams and falls over*
PapatymisonN: (Double damage, actually. So 64 damage for each.)
Mekta satak kai: (Oh, keen.)
Arch mage144: *golfclaps*
PapatymisonN: (Congrats, you took out the entire group with one shot.)
Mekta satak kai: Stephan. Nice.
Besyanteo: (He called it, too. =D)
Besyanteo: ... Whoa. o.o;
Arch mage144: Nice shot.
FFFan80: >\/o; ...y..yeah.
FFFan80: *looks a little drained*
Arch mage144: You alright?
FFFan80: I'm good.. just a bit more than I'm used to.
FFFan80: I usually stab things first >\/>
Mekta satak kai: Stabbing is good.
Mekta satak kai: That was good, too, though.
PapatymisonN: *you notice that this caverns veers to the right...*
Mekta satak kai: They're....more dead. This is nice.
Arch mage144: Less effort's good in most cases.
Arch mage144: I doubt that those five zombies are responsible for all this damage, y'know?
Besyanteo: What's that?
Besyanteo: *looking down the other tunnel*
FFFan80: IM: Alright... need to be more careful, I sure as hell ain't Mid or Hakaril when it comes to magic, that's for sure... 9\/<;
FFFan80: o\/o? *looks also*
PapatymisonN: *it's the same as the other tunnel... bodies cast to the side...*
Arch mage144: ...zombies don't hoard halves of corpses.
Arch mage144: Nor do they display them like trophies.
Arch mage144: Something intelligent did this.
FFFan80: ...big question is, why the hell is it doing it.
Arch mage144: *shrug* I'm no mind-reader.
Arch mage144: And I wouldn't know whose mind to read, anyway.
Mekta satak kai: Well, since there are no minds here to read and no one to do it, shall we move on?
Arch mage144: Right.
Arch mage144: Lead on, ninja master.
Mekta satak kai: Yeah. *leaves Spark and her other gentleman friends behind to scout ahead again*
FFFan80: ...*tries not to smirk*
Mekta satak kai: (Stealth roll?)
PapatymisonN: (Sure!)
Besyanteo: *sticks with the guys!*
PapatymisonN: (And this is unrelated to that roll. Mostly.)
OnlineHost: PapatymisonN rolled 1 3-sided die: 1
PapatymisonN: (Go ahead.)
OnlineHost: Mekta satak kai rolled 1 20-sided die: 11
Mekta satak kai: (28)
PapatymisonN: *before Myrnal gets too far, she'll hear breathing...*
Mekta satak kai: ...*pauses*
PapatymisonN: *three sets worth...*
PapatymisonN: (Int.)
OnlineHost: Mekta satak kai rolled 1 20-sided die: 10
Mekta satak kai: (19)
PapatymisonN: *Myrnal can hear the breathing just fine, but she just barely can't pinpoint where it comes from*
Mekta satak kai: (Okay, now we burn TP before moving on. Hide in plain sight, 2TP.)
Mekta satak kai: (You want her to use her last stealth roll?)
PapatymisonN: (Sure!)
Mekta satak kai: (Okay. It's a perfectly average roll, so I feel no reason to tempt the Whatever.)
Mekta satak kai: *heads forward a bit to see if she can't figure out what's up*
PapatymisonN: *it's there, off to the side...*
Mekta satak kai: ... IM: Freaking weird.
PapatymisonN: *it's... three people, a woman, a man and a child. They've obviously been through the ringer.*
PapatymisonN: *But not the zombie ringer.*
Mekta satak kai: IM: I'm getting the others in here. I'm not retrieving and potentially protecting hostages on my own.
Mekta satak kai: *heads back*
PapatymisonN: *the woman is clad in guard's gear, while the man and child look like common villagers...*
Mekta satak kai: *noted*
Mekta satak kai: (Details are good.)
PapatymisonN: *and the chick's ready for anything...*
Mekta satak kai: (For the record, because she would've idly checked.... what's the woman look like?)
PapatymisonN: *a pretty blonde woman, but with the hard brown eyes of a warrior...*
Mekta satak kai: *w* Guys. A man, a child, and a guard are down there. I don't know what's up, but I wanted to let you guys know before I started dragging around random people.
Arch mage144: *nods*
Arch mage144: *w* Are they hostages?
Mekta satak kai: I don't know. I can go ahead and chitchat with them if you like. They look like they've had one hell of a day, but it's hard to say what happened without asking.
Arch mage144: *shakes his head* Let's just go together if you didn't see any threats.
Mekta satak kai: 'kay.
Mekta satak kai: *heads forward again, making less of an effort to sneak....just walking*
FFFan80: *follows*
Mekta satak kai: IM: Less chance of making them suspicious if I'm not ninja-creeping all around and then jumping them in the dark.
Arch mage144: *moves after her*
Besyanteo: (Sorry, distracted. x_x)
PapatymisonN: *Myrnal won't be detected till she's near face to face with the guardswoman*
PapatymisonN: GW: ... GAH! *raises her sword*
Mekta satak kai: *Snaps her fingers in the doorway to get her attention* Woman. We're not here to kill you. Not as far as I can tell.
Arch mage144: !
Arch mage144: Whoa, whoa, calm down.
Mekta satak kai: So chill. Man.
Arch mage144: (You've gotta imagine that as the MGS-style ! emote.)
Mekta satak kai: IM: She has to be blonde, doesn't she. *inward sigh*
PapatymisonN: ... *she breathes...*
Mekta satak kai: IM: I'm going to be sad if we have to kill her.
PapatymisonN: Oh gods... *gives Myrnal a hug*
Arch mage144: (Oh good, she's still breathing.)
Mekta satak kai: ...
Mekta satak kai: *freezes*
Arch mage144: *quirks an eyebrow*
Besyanteo: *Watching by Stephan*
Mekta satak kai: Um.
Mekta satak kai: *reddens a little* Quit that.
PapatymisonN: Thank the gods, thank the gods...
Mekta satak kai: *shoves her away*
PapatymisonN: *is shoved*
Arch mage144: Yeah, thank them later, let's get out of here. This place is dangerous, eh?
PapatymisonN: You're... not dead...
Arch mage144: What happened to those people back there? Who killed them?
PapatymisonN: It didn't get you... v_v
Arch mage144: What "it"?
PapatymisonN: ... the worm...
Arch mage144: The what now?
PapatymisonN: The worm... it... it destroyed ... destroyed the town...
FFFan80: ...a worm did all that.
Arch mage144: The worm?
Mekta satak kai: Big fucking worm.
FFFan80: *watched* 6\/6?
Arch mage144: I guess this ain't your usual worm.
Arch mage144: Must be a big one.
PapatymisonN: It made these caves...
Arch mage144: Thing tunnelled all this out?
Arch mage144: That's impressive. *attempts to gauge the width of the cavern tunnel*
Besyanteo: *Not him, just things in general*
PapatymisonN: *fifteen feet wide, at least...*
Arch mage144: Huge, man. At least twice as wide as I am tall.
Arch mage144: Probably a good bit larger.
FFFan80: Anyone else still up and about that you know of? o\/o?
Arch mage144: Gonna have to find the thing. Needs to be introduced to some high-velocity metal.
PapatymisonN: I think we're the only ones...
Besyanteo: *looks about astrally*
Arch mage144: How far do these tunnels go?
Arch mage144: And what the hell're you doing down here anyway?
FFFan80: And, exactly how did the three of you avoid this thing?
PapatymisonN: We came down here to kill it...
Mekta satak kai: All three of you?
Mekta satak kai: Where did those two come in?
Arch mage144: *quirks an eyebrow* You're in no shape to do that. And besides, the kids?
Besyanteo: *Still looking around for stuff! And things! With astral sight!*
PapatymisonN: The Fella: We were... watching... from the edge when the guard went down to attack it...*
PapatymisonN: -*
Mekta satak kai: Yeah, whatever.
PapatymisonN: And then the ground shook... most of the town fell in...
Arch mage144: The tunnels must've become unstable.
Arch mage144: Not like the worm's looking to make sure that they are, or like it cares that there're people above it.
Arch mage144: Where the fuck'd the zombies come from, though?
PapatymisonN: ... the worm... when you touch it...
Arch mage144: ......
PapatymisonN: It... makes you serve it...
Arch mage144: ...note to self, don't touch the worm.
Mekta satak kai: ...Oh, fuck no.
FFFan80: ....
FFFan80: ......
Mekta satak kai: No no. No. I veto. No servitude to anything.
Arch mage144: Good thing I can fight from a distance. *cracks his knuckles*
Mekta satak kai: That needs to die. A lot.
PapatymisonN: *oh, and as to the astral sight? Something unclean's up ahead*
Besyanteo: ... there's something back there...
Besyanteo: *looking down the tunnel leading ahead*
Besyanteo: It's... not right.
Mekta satak kai: (I'll be back in a tick. I have to overthrow my bladder.)
PapatymisonN: (I'll do the same!)
PapatymisonN: (The coup was successful.)
Arch mage144: (Congrats to the bladderatorial proletariat.)
Mekta satak kai: (Back.)
PapatymisonN: The Girl: ... more of them?
Mekta satak kai: All right, so where the hell is it? *to the woman* Did you see where it was going? Any ideas at all?
Mekta satak kai: I'm not talking about zombies. The worm obviously isn't here? Are we really going to have to play "follow the path of destruction" here?
PapatymisonN: I think... I think it must have a lair down here...
PapatymisonN: But I don't know why it hasn't come back... I haven't seen it for hours...
PapatymisonN: Just... people I knew... v_v
Mekta satak kai: IM: If she cries I might smack her.
Mekta satak kai: Okay. Fine.
Mekta satak kai: So it has a lair down here. This means we stay down here and you fucking don't. You guys need to leave.
Arch mage144: Yeah, get the hell out of here.
Arch mage144: We've been hired by the Doman government. We're on an official investigation.
FFFan80: *thumbs over to the rope*
PapatymisonN: Did you leave a way out? The ladders were destroyed in the tremor...
FFFan80: I'd suggest getting the hell up that fast.
PapatymisonN: o.o Bless you...
Mekta satak kai: Just use the rope we used. Leave it there for us if you could, please.
PapatymisonN: *nods* Come on, you two...
PapatymisonN: *and they head for the rope...*
Mekta satak kai: *rubs the back of her neck and watches them go*
Besyanteo: ("*... AND THEN THEY ARE ALL EATTEN. BY SCARABS. HAHAHAHAHA.*")
Besyanteo: *keeps looking down that tunnel, to see if anything changes*
FFFan80: 6\/6 ...
FFFan80: *just to be on the safe side, astrally checks the other way*
PapatymisonN: (Guard lady's visual inspiration.)
Besyanteo: (... KAy.)
Besyanteo: (... So.)
Mekta satak kai: (Charles you fucking bastard.)
Besyanteo: (I need to get up at 7 tomorrow.)
Besyanteo: (Is this concluding soon?)
PapatymisonN: *well, by now, you've sort of turned aroud...*
PapatymisonN: (We still got a little to go through yet.)
Besyanteo: (Yarr)
PapatymisonN: (So, you're bailin'?)
Mekta satak kai: (Bes. You and your Life. Pffft.)
Arch mage144: We're going to have to go deeper to find the creature's lair.
Mekta satak kai: (You and your...your...sensibility. Jeez.)
Besyanteo: (Not just yet.)
Besyanteo: (... whoops, yes I am.)(
Besyanteo: (Dad calling. LAter folks.)
PapatymisonN: (Night.)
Mekta satak kai: (Night, Bes. We'll take care of Spark, and send you a log.)
PapatymisonN: (Oh! Available tomorrow?)
PapatymisonN: (Cuz I want this put to bed as fast as possible.)
Mekta satak kai: (Brian and I will likely not be. We get up in the morning on Tuesday. It would HAVE to be done by 11.)
PapatymisonN: (... possible, if we get started fast enough.)
Mekta satak kai: (Start at 6.5EST?)
Arch mage144: (I have to work from 5 to 9.)
Mekta satak kai: (Ah. Fuck. That.)
Mekta satak kai: (I don't think we can tomorrow.)
PapatymisonN: (... Wednesday.)
Mekta satak kai: (Same. We talked about this.)
PapatymisonN: (Dammit!)
PapatymisonN: (We'll think of something.)
Mekta satak kai: (I work 5-9 Tues-Thurs, and Brian always has morning class. Weekends are best.)
Mekta satak kai: (Anyway. We pausing for the night or moving on? Decision?)
PapatymisonN: (Pausing for the night.)
Mekta satak kai: ('kay.)
PapatymisonN: (Never leave a man behind... ;_; )
Arch mage144: (Keep to the code, dude)
Mekta satak kai: (Put up an OOC thread and ask for times, Herr GM.)
Mekta satak kai: (Also, what Brian said.)
PapatymisonN: (I'm a marine, not a pirate.)
PapatymisonN: (*ties Brian's bootstraps to a cannon and shoves him overboard*)
Mekta satak kai: (Whatever. If we're suddenly done with no warning, somebody send me a log, somebody --preferably Charles-- start an OOC thread to get times so that we can finish an RP around this place for once.)
Mekta satak kai: (*not bitter at all ever always*)
PapatymisonN: (There's a thread put in already. Post.)
Mekta satak kai: (I already replied.)
PapatymisonN: (I am happy.)
PapatymisonN: (Ashley is my favourite action figure.)
Mekta satak kai: (My reply basically counts for Brian and me both. We have the same schedule.)
Mekta satak kai: (She's totally poseable. And such realistic facial features.)
Mekta satak kai: (Real cloth jacket.)
PapatymisonN: (Hells yeah.)
FFFan80: (To bed I go!)
PapatymisonN: (Post, or I keel you.)
FFFan80: (*saves and fwips*)
FFFan80: ( I did =O )
PapatymisonN: (Good boy! ^_^)
PapatymisonN: (*gives dave a treat*)
Mekta satak kai: (Thanks, Dave!)
Mekta satak kai: (Anyway. Someone send me a log.)
Mekta satak kai has left the room.
