You have just entered room "The Heart of Kzentil."
KotokiFrog has entered the room.
dragonclawsedw has entered the room.
dragonclawsedw: Arpee! o.o
KotokiFrog: Kzentil? Sounds like lentils.
Jak Snide: *gets onto making the OOC chat*
SongstressEnlil has entered the room.
Jak Snide: Okay, you know who you're characters are. I just need to ready a notepad for keeping details, then I'll begin.
dragonclawsedw: As usual don't get discouraged if I suddenly disappear...
Arch mage144: My font doesn't have to change, hurrah!
Jak Snide: Pervy, can you link me Enlil's sheet?
SongstressEnlil: *Sure*
SongstressEnlil: * http://greatdave.org//rpgww/rpstuff/RPchars/unclepervy.htm#enlil *
KotokiFrog: Do you have my exp on your copy of my sheet?
Jak Snide: Yup
Jak Snide: 950/1000
dragonclawsedw: 50 exp away from a level...ouchie
KotokiFrog: Whee.
Jak Snide: Trying to send you the version I have of it right now./
KotokiFrog: Don't worry. We both have the same version, I think.
Jak Snide: Okay
Jak Snide: Okay. I'm sorted. We all ready to begin, or does anyone need to grab a drink or snack first?
Arch mage144: Already got mine...too bad I don't have anything with caffiene ;_;
KotokiFrog: Wait, hold on, I need your version... Mine's lacking a coat.
dragonclawsedw: Nope...don't be surprised if after an hour I need to disappear for dinner for a bit..
Jak Snide: *nods* How long will you be away for that?
dragonclawsedw: Half hour at the most
Jak Snide: *nods* Well, assuming that everyone is ready, I'll get moving.
SongstressEnlil: *Yeah*
dragonclawsedw: Let's do eet!
KotokiFrog: Whee!
Jak Snide: The RP starts with you all travelling South through Doma, heading towards the Forbidden Plains, and perhaps beyond. Can you all think of a reason to be together to begin with?
SongstressEnlil: *Hmmm...*
SongstressEnlil: *Revisiting Nekonia, following a false lead*
dragonclawsedw: Sara is travelling with Karis to Nekonia to go to the festival
Arch mage144: Yep.
Jak Snide: *nods* Karis and Sara are heading to Nekonia as well. Rachel, can you think of a reason for Kotoki to be heading South?
KotokiFrog: Wanting to visit the festival, I guess.
SongstressEnlil: *Enlil will be on wing at first*
Jak Snide: *nods* Alright. Now we're set, lets get down to it. RPers, start your characters!
dragonclawsedw: <Vrooom vrooooom...er... Sara>
KotokiFrog: <Kotoki>
SongstressEnlil: <Over the plains and far away, it's Enlil!>
Arch mage144: <Karisuma Heru, Mediator>
Arch mage144: *galloping over the hills and plains on his red chocobo*
Jak Snide: *The road South of Doma is proving unusually difficult today. An icy wind bites at the exposed skin of all who travel, with a good feet of crisp, white snow making walking a tiring task*
dragonclawsedw: *following along Karis on a regular yellow chocobo*
SongstressEnlil: *Soaring overhead, perhaps fifty feet over the ground...*
dragonclawsedw: >.< Cold....
SongstressEnlil: *The cold does not affect her quite so badly, and her robes help*
Arch mage144: You're cold? *is bundled up in mediator's robes and a hat, so naturally, isn't bothered too much*
Arch mage144: *pulls to a stop*
KotokiFrog: *rather thanful for her coat*
Jak Snide: *Enlil finds that the wind is getting stronger and stronger, making flight more difficult. Soon it will make flight impossible, unless she does something about it*
SongstressEnlil: IM: I could sing...
dragonclawsedw: *nods* Cold <<wind>>
SongstressEnlil: 6_6
dragonclawsedw: ( <<'s mean it's in English, not common)
Jak Snide: (*nods* Gotcha.)
SongstressEnlil: IM: A Red Choboco?
Arch mage144: *peels off his outermost coat and tosses it to Sara*
SongstressEnlil: *Descends, curious.*
dragonclawsedw: *takes it and wraps herself in it*
SongstressEnlil: *Lands perhaps ten yards before them*
Arch mage144: *adjusts his fur hat (which is kind of like one of those things you always see the Russians wearing in spy movies, only grey/white)*
Arch mage144: Any bett...
Arch mage144: *blinks* Hello...
Arch mage144: ...can we help you, miss...?
dragonclawsedw: o.o <<Hey it's you!>>
SongstressEnlil: <<Sara?>>
dragonclawsedw: I know *points at Enlil*
Arch mage144: *blinks* Another English speaker.
Jak Snide: *Kotoki begins to find that, while her coat is indeed warm and snuggly, it's becoming less and less useful against the freezing cold*
Arch mage144: Do you speak common, as well?
KotokiFrog: >_>
KotokiFrog: What's english? -_-
SongstressEnlil: Yes, I do
SongstressEnlil: Who are you, Sir?
SongstressEnlil: I am Enlil
dragonclawsedw: That Karis ^_^
dragonclawsedw: Karis friend ^_^
Arch mage144: My name is Karisuma Heru. *nods*
SongstressEnlil: *Nods, and bows a little to him*
Jak Snide: (*tempted to call Sara Ugete*)
Arch mage144: *raises an eyebrow* Miss Enlil, then?
SongstressEnlil: Yes.
Jak Snide: *For a moment the wind blows especially strongly, howling and making standing upright more difficult than before*
SongstressEnlil: You are a friend of Sara's
SongstressEnlil: ?
Arch mage144: I am. *nods* I haven't known her too long...
Arch mage144: *shivers somewhat*
dragonclawsedw: (>.> *whaps Jak*)
dragonclawsedw: >.< *scrunches*
Jak Snide: (XD By the by, where is Kotoki?)
dragonclawsedw: <<Wind is blowing really hard>>
Arch mage144: ...we're on our way to Nekonia.
SongstressEnlil: <<Are you cold?>>
Arch mage144: Where are you headed?
KotokiFrog: (Somewhere behind?)
SongstressEnlil: Likewise
Jak Snide: (^_^;; Could you catch/meet up with the others or somesuch? I'd appreciate it.)
dragonclawsedw: <<Very cold>>
KotokiFrog: (Mm.)
dragonclawsedw: <<Bahama was nowhere this cold!>>
dragonclawsedw: <<I should get pants...>>
Arch mage144: Really? *blinks* Why are you headed there?
dragonclawsedw: *wearing apprentice robes*
Jak Snide: *In front of her, through the falling snow, Kotoki can spot a single, red object*
SongstressEnlil: Have you head of the Nyfe Gang?
KotokiFrog: *having been walking without looking where she was going, ends up bumping into said object*
KotokiFrog: >_>
KotokiFrog: Ouch.
Jak Snide: *...which is Karis' red chocobo*
Arch mage144: *turns to look behind him*
Arch mage144: ...excuse me?
KotokiFrog: *blinks*
dragonclawsedw: o.o
dragonclawsedw: *blinks at Kotoki*
dragonclawsedw: ...friend?
Arch mage144: ...ah, hello!
KotokiFrog: Sorry. I bumped into your chocobo... ^_^;;
SongstressEnlil: *looks around the Choco* Hello?
Arch mage144: He didn't seem to mind too much.
KotokiFrog: *pets*
KotokiFrog: He's a nice bird.
Arch mage144: 6.6 So...what are you doing out here?
SongstressEnlil: *Bows to Kotoki* My name is Enlil
KotokiFrog: Ah, I'm travelling to Nekonia...
SongstressEnlil: This is Sara and Karis.
KotokiFrog: *smiles*
KotokiFrog: I'm Kotoki. I own an inn in Doma.
KotokiFrog: Nice to meet you. ^_^
Arch mage144: ...OH!
Jak Snide: *The wind howls past again, this time staggering even the chocobo's*
SongstressEnlil: What an odd coincidence
Arch mage144: You're the proprieter of Kotoki's Inn!
KotokiFrog: Hm? You've heard of it?
dragonclawsedw: >.< <<wind>> hard!
Arch mage144: Of course!
KotokiFrog: ^_^
SongstressEnlil: I have dined there a few times with Will.
Arch mage144: ...I think that the wind is possibly getting stronger...
KotokiFrog: Ah. I'm afraid I haven't seen you there before...
Arch mage144: Perhaps there's a storm coming...
Arch mage144: We should keep moving.
KotokiFrog: It seems so.
Arch mage144: Would you like a ride?
KotokiFrog: *pulls coat tighter*
KotokiFrog: That would be very kind of you.
Jak Snide: *The fall of snow increases as well. Combined with the wind, it looks like a blizzard may result shortly*
dragonclawsedw: *fascinated and worried by the weather*
dragonclawsedw: <<Why's the sky so dark now...?>>
SongstressEnlil: 9_9
Jak Snide: *As if in reply, the wind howls past again, almost knocking Sara off her feet*
SongstressEnlil: It may be wise for you to seek shelter.
Arch mage144: Hop on.
Arch mage144: *scoots up a bit on his chocobo*
Arch mage144: Sara, you heard her...we need to get someplace less open and more safe.
KotokiFrog: *jumps on*
KotokiFrog: Thank you. ^_^;;
Arch mage144: *taps the bird with his foot, coaxing it to run onwards*
Jak Snide: *The chocobo moves forward, but it's obvious that it's having a hard time in this weather*
SongstressEnlil: *Tries to follow from the air*
SongstressEnlil: *Looking for shelter*
Jak Snide: *Enlil finds flightl almost impossible, the winds battering her from the side.*
Jak Snide: *Then, through the storm of snow, she spots something*
Jak Snide: *A great tree in the distance...but with what seems to be several lights shining from points up along it's giant trunk*
Arch mage144: *squinting*
dragonclawsedw: *follows after Karis*
dragonclawsedw: (AHH NIGHT ELVES!)
dragonclawsedw: (RUN!)
Arch mage144: (...what?)
SongstressEnlil: There's a Tree!
KotokiFrog: A tree?
Arch mage144: (The night elves are friendly!)
Arch mage144: (They're not drow!)
Jak Snide: (*Karis takes 139 damage from a hail of arrows*)
Arch mage144: (>_>)
Jak Snide: (Sorry. ^_^;; )
SongstressEnlil: IM: if it gets much worse... I'll sing for the wind
Jak Snide: *The snow's depth seems to have doubled since a half hour ago, now over two feet deep, making progress extremely difficult. The wind isn't relenting either, crying out for travellers to find shelter from the wrath of nature*
SongstressEnlil: Up ahead! A Tree!
Arch mage144: <<Sara! Follow Enlil, it's dangerous here!>>
Arch mage144: *doing his best to encourage his mount forward*
Jak Snide: *Kotoki, straining her eyes, can see the tree as well*
dragonclawsedw: <<You're coming too right, don't stay out here!>.
dragonclawsedw: *tries to follow after Enlil* >.<
Arch mage144: <<Of course I'm coming!>>
SongstressEnlil: *Finally, swoops down and sings a song of wind manipulation to lessen the wind*
Jak Snide: *The red chocobo is obviously tired, but does it's best to move onwards*
KotokiFrog: *clinging to chocobo*
Jak Snide: *The wind lessens somewhat, which makes conditions a little better. The chocobo's speed up slightly, but the snow remains just as deep as before, and the wind is ever present, even if reduced*
Arch mage144: ...it's times like this I wish I knew fire magic...
SongstressEnlil: *Keeps Singing, a swift and haunting melody*
KotokiFrog: ...do we need some?
SongstressEnlil: *And flying low*
dragonclawsedw: ...fire? o.o
KotokiFrog: Because I know a bit.
dragonclawsedw: I make fire....
Arch mage144: No, uh, don't do that...
Arch mage144: ...I was just thinking how it might be possible to raise the temperature of the surrounding area and melt some of this snow...
Jak Snide: *As the group moves nearer to the tree, they can see that the surrounding area is populated by a number of small mounds. Strangely, they appear to have windows, and some even have doors*
Arch mage144: But it's doubtful we can possibly influence this storm...
Arch mage144: ...it looks like a settlement.
dragonclawsedw: O.o IM: What a weird tree...it looks like people live in that thing...
dragonclawsedw: *urges her chocobo on*
KotokiFrog: If you can move a bit, I can cast a fireball...
dragonclawsedw: IM: I still can't believe I'm riding a giant chicken...
SongstressEnlil: *Lands, still singing, and walks with the Chocobo*
KotokiFrog: Which might melt the snow in front of us somewhat.
Arch mage144: ...that sounds a bit risky.
SongstressEnlil: *Now her song can be heard over the wind*
Jak Snide: *As they move even closer, then can see that a walkway runs spiraly up the tree, with several huts built into the side. An impressive sight, since the tree stands at least 50 feet tall*
dragonclawsedw: O_O
Arch mage144: 9.9 Interesting.
dragonclawsedw: IM: Wow...it's like out of Star wars with those Ewoks!
SongstressEnlil: -o- *Singing*
KotokiFrog: Wow.
Arch mage144: ...*closes on the tree and looks for a spot to dismount and possibly locate shelter*
dragonclawsedw: IM: Except that this is real...
KotokiFrog: It's... really big. o_o
dragonclawsedw: IM: ....I hope they're populated by harmless small fuzzy beings...
Jak Snide: *As Karis approaches the tree, he notices something he did not before*
Jak Snide: *At the base of the tree, wraped in a snow white cloak, is a small humanoid, it's face and skin obscured by the cloak. A short bow rests by its side*
Jak Snide: *It looks up at him and his red mount*
Arch mage144: ...*calls out* Hey!
Jak Snide: Who goes there?
dragonclawsedw: *follows after Karis, hoping to get out of the snow*
dragonclawsedw: IM: Cold cold cold cold cold...
Arch mage144: My name is Karisuma Heru, and these are my companions, Sara, Enlil, and Kotoki!
Arch mage144: We seek shelter from the elements!
SongstressEnlil: *Singing still to lessen the wind*
Jak Snide: *The creature squints* ...humans? Head over there. The Summer's Dream can offer you a place to rest*
SongstressEnlil: *The guard should be noticing the wind is has lessen*
Jak Snide: *he points, indicating one of the mounds*
dragonclawsedw: Human yes o.o
KotokiFrog: Thank you.
Arch mage144: Thank you, sir!
Jak Snide: *If the guard notices, he doesn't say anything about it*
Jak Snide: No trouble at all, sir.
Arch mage144: *hops off his chocobo and heads over towards the mound*
KotokiFrog: *does likewise*
SongstressEnlil: (Enlil: *Makes the wind blow directly up his shirt* Fuckhead)
SongstressEnlil: *Follows, ending her song*
Jak Snide: *The sound of chatter comes from within the mound. The group can see a door, as well as a sign post, which indicates the "building" is an inn of sorts*
SongstressEnlil: *Walks inside*
dragonclawsedw: *doesn't really look human though* o.o
dragonclawsedw: What I do with chocobo? o.o
dragonclawsedw: Leave outside?
Jak Snide: (*pokes Kate to the OOC chat*)
Arch mage144: Yes. *nod*
Arch mage144: *pulls the door open and holds it for the others*
Jak Snide: *The wind is beginning to pick up again*
KotokiFrog: *walks in* Thank you.
dragonclawsedw: o.o *feels bad to leave the chocobo outside but would rather be inside and does so*
Arch mage144: *follows the others in, shutting the door behind him*
SongstressEnlil: *Flaps her wings to get off the excess snow*
Arch mage144: *breathes a sigh of relief*
Jak Snide: *As the group enter, the entire room falls silent. From several tables, a few dozen halflings look at the group, utterly silent*
Arch mage144: Miss Enlil...*blinks*
Arch mage144: ...*blinks at the halflings*
dragonclawsedw: o.o
SongstressEnlil: Good evening, Sirs.
dragonclawsedw: <<What are those?!>>
Arch mage144: We come in peace. *spreads his hands in a gesture of friendship*
dragonclawsedw: <<Ewoks?>>
KotokiFrog: Erm, hello. ^_^;;
Arch mage144: <<What?>> *blinks*
Arch mage144: <<Halflings.>>
Jak Snide: *The halfings continue to watch them, until the barkeep, a stout and elderly hobbit speaks up*
Arch mage144: (Of course, that's not technically in English.)
Jak Snide: "Well, who might you be, large masters?"
KotokiFrog: Um, we're travellers. We got caught in the storm. ^_^;;
Arch mage144: I am Karisuma Heru, mediator and diplomatic ambassador.
dragonclawsedw: <Fuzzy little teddy bear things from a movie back on Earth>>
Jak Snide: *He looks at Enlil and Sara, noting that they don't seem to be your usual humans*
SongstressEnlil: I am Enlil, sir
Arch mage144: *understood about three words of that*
KotokiFrog: Oh, I'm Kotoki.
SongstressEnlil: (WEE LAG)
Arch mage144: <<Bears from Earth?>>
dragonclawsedw: <<Not real ones, made up>>
Arch mage144: <<...no, these aren't bears...>>
Jak Snide: "And what brings you to the Summer's Dream this eve?"
dragonclawsedw: *looking over the halflings in fascination*
Arch mage144: We seek shelter from the elements. *nods*
Arch mage144: There's a terrible storm outside.
SongstressEnlil: I can sing, in exchange for rooms.
Arch mage144: *raises an eyebrow*
Jak Snide: *The halflings in the bar seem to have lost some interest, and are resuming their acitivities of drinking, chatting and occasionally singing*
dragonclawsedw: Cold outside...
Arch mage144: (They've got enough singers, I'll wager. XD)
SongstressEnlil: *Notes the singing*
KotokiFrog: *sits down at the counter*
SongstressEnlil: IM: I wonder if they are willing to do a duet?
KotokiFrog: What kind of drinks do you serve? ^_^;;
Jak Snide: *The man looks back at Enlil* If it's rooms ye want, it won't cost you more than 2 gil a person.
dragonclawsedw: <<...wait is that a hobbit?>> o.O
Arch mage144: <<Yes, some people call them that.>>
dragonclawsedw: O.o .... o.O ....
Jak Snide: *Kotoki notices that the stool is far too small for her, as is the entire building*
dragonclawsedw: <<A real hobbit!>> O_O
Arch mage144: <<Do you have them on Earth?>>
dragonclawsedw: <<Only in stories>>
dragonclawsedw: *awed*
Jak Snide: *The barkeep looks at Kotoki* Well miss, we have Reevyn Stout, the local brew, as well as some of the human ales from North of here.
Arch mage144: <<Oh, I see. A shame. They're good people, mostly.>>
Arch mage144: Maybe we should sit down?
SongstressEnlil: I would prefer to sing, if your rooms are that cheap, sir ^^
KotokiFrog: Ah. I'll try the local, then. ^_^;;
dragonclawsedw: <<I wonder if there's one named Bilbo...>>
dragonclawsedw: IM: ....I'll never see the sequel to that movie either ;_;
Arch mage144: *gives Sara a confused look*
KotokiFrog: *finding chair too uncomfortable, sits on the floor instead*
Arch mage144: <<Did you know a halfling named Bilbo?>>
dragonclawsedw: IM: Unless I can get back home...
Jak Snide: *Fills Kotoki a mug of stout, then turns to Enlil*
dragonclawsedw: <<There's a story about one at home>>
Arch mage144: *nods, understanding*
Jak Snide: *To Enlil* Well miss, is your singing worth 8 gil to hear?
SongstressEnlil: IM: I don't recall that story.
KotokiFrog: *takes a sip*
dragonclawsedw: <<You've gotten really good at English>> Karis o.o
SongstressEnlil: I believe so.
Arch mage144: <<I'm learning.>>
Jak Snide: *The stout tastes bitter, and dries Kotoki's tongue, despite the liquid nature of the drink*
Arch mage144: *pats dictionary*
Arch mage144: I'm used to learning languages.
Arch mage144: It comes with being a diplomat!
SongstressEnlil: You are a diplomat, Sir?
KotokiFrog: *eeps*
dragonclawsedw: ^_^ *finds herself a stool to sit down on*
Arch mage144: *nods* That's right...well, I've been one before.
KotokiFrog: *and quickly downs rest of mug*
Jak Snide: *The barkeep looks at Enlil, along with some of the other halflings, expecting a demonstration*
Arch mage144: For Riva, mostly.
Arch mage144: I was originally born in Nekonia, but Nekonia doesn't hire human ambassadors...
Jak Snide: *Kotoki feels the alcohol rush to her head momentarily. The stout is quite powerful, for an ale*
SongstressEnlil: <<Sara, I think you'll like this song.>> ^^
KotokiFrog: *whees at headrush*
SongstressEnlil: *Composes herself, and spreads her wings*
Arch mage144: *seats himself next to Sara and looks at Enlil expectantly*
SongstressEnlil: *And uses Aura by instinct*
Jak Snide: *The wings cause a mix of alarm and awe among the halflings, who've never seen such a creature before*
Arch mage144: IM: I think she's a celestial...
Arch mage144: IM: ...but a very friendly one.
SongstressEnlil: *The air begins to smell sweet, and the room brighter....*
dragonclawsedw: o.o *watches*
dragonclawsedw: IM: ....I know hobbits and angels now...
Arch mage144: *relaxes*
KotokiFrog: *watches with interest*
dragonclawsedw: IM: I'm never going to get used to this place!
Jak Snide: *The effect os visible, with the alarm lessening, and the awe increasing*
SongstressEnlil: Ru~n through the cold of the night...
SongstressEnlil: *Wait*
SongstressEnlil: <<Run through the cold of the night>>
SongstressEnlil: <<As passion bu~rns in your heart>>
dragonclawsedw: o.o ^__^
dragonclawsedw: IM: That song sound familiar....
SongstressEnlil: <<Re-ady to fight, a knife held close.... by your side>>
KotokiFrog: *listens*
SongstressEnlil: <<Like a proud wolf a~lone in the dark
SongstressEnlil: >>
SongstressEnlil: <<With eyes that w~atch the world...>>
dragonclawsedw: ^__^
Jak Snide: *Enlil's song is clearly spellbinding, every head in the bar being focused on the herald*
Arch mage144: IM: Despite my not understanding completely...it's very nice.
SongstressEnlil: <<And my name like a shadow On the face of the moon>>
SongstressEnlil: <<Bro~ken mirror...>>
SongstressEnlil: <<a mil-lion shades of light>>
SongstressEnlil: <<The old echo fades away...>>
Arch mage144: *takes advantage of the moment and slips an arm around Sara*
dragonclawsedw: *doesn't seem to notice*
SongstressEnlil: <<But just you... and I Can find the answer, And then...>>
SongstressEnlil: <<we can run to the end of the world...>>
SongstressEnlil: <<we can run to the end...>>
SongstressEnlil: <<of ...the... world>>
dragonclawsedw: ^___^
SongstressEnlil: *Lets the piece end prematurely*
SongstressEnlil: *Aura fades away*
KotokiFrog: -_-
KotokiFrog: *thinks of Jak*
KotokiFrog: *claps*
Arch mage144: IM: She has to be a celestial of some sort...with a voice like that...
dragonclawsedw: ^__^ Yay... <<Good job Enlil!>>
Arch mage144: Very nice. *nosd*
Jak Snide: *The hobbits begin to clap as well, clearly entertained by the song. Suddenly, the cry of a horn being blown resounds through the bar, breaking the Enlil-enduced trance, and striking a look of terror on all the hobbits within*
SongstressEnlil: <<Thank you>>
dragonclawsedw: O_O
Arch mage144: Hm? *looks up*
KotokiFrog: *blinks*
SongstressEnlil: Thank you everyone.
SongstressEnlil: And what is this?
Jak Snide: Featherfoot's horn!
KotokiFrog: What was that...?
dragonclawsedw: What going on??
Arch mage144: A cry of alarm?
Jak Snide: *several halflings spring to their feet, grabbing weapons from beside them, and rush out of the inn, the wind blasting in through the open door*
Jak Snide: o_o By the gods...we're under attack?!
SongstressEnlil: *Follows them, had on Maru*
SongstressEnlil: *Hand
Jak Snide: *the barkeep, and the remaining halflings are clearly in a state of disbelief*
KotokiFrog: *draws crossbow from back*
Arch mage144: ...who would attack a halfling settlement in the middle of a storm!?
KotokiFrog: *runs out the door*
dragonclawsedw: (*points at OOC chat*)
Arch mage144: (Pause!)
Jak Snide: (Aye, indeed. At a dramatic moment! ^_^)
dragonclawsedw has left the room.
dragonclawsedw has entered the room.
Jak Snide has left the room.
Jak Snide has entered the room.
Jak Snide has left the room.
Jak Snide has entered the room.
SongstressEnlil: *Still following the Halflings*
SongstressEnlil: IM: Please, let it not be an attack...
Jak Snide: *As the group move outside into the blizzard once again, they can see that two score or so of halflings have assembled, armed with a variety of small arms and short bows*
dragonclawsedw: O.O Prepare for <<battle>>??
KotokiFrog: *loads crossbow and quietly steps up among them*
Arch mage144: We might have to.
KotokiFrog: Who's attacking?
SongstressEnlil: *Looks out for the foe*
Jak Snide: *Before them is a chilling sight. Skeletons, halfling in size, coated with frost and handling rusted and ancient looking weapons*
SongstressEnlil: IM: I might have to stop them...
KotokiFrog: o_o
SongstressEnlil: The dead.
Arch mage144: ...great.
SongstressEnlil: *Draws Maru*
Jak Snide: *Among their number stands one skeleton that towers above them all, at least 10 feet high*
KotokiFrog: Well... that's not good.
dragonclawsedw: O.O
Arch mage144: *reaches under his coat and pulled out a book with a greenish leathery cover*
Arch mage144: *pulls
SongstressEnlil: *Calls out* Please leave!
Jak Snide: *A giant halberd rests in it's two hands as it advances*
SongstressEnlil: There is nothing for you here!
Jak Snide: *The other skeletons remain still...*
Jak Snide: *And then, suddenly, the large skeleton speaks in a voice which cannot be its own*
Arch mage144: I somehow doubt we'll be able to reason with them...
SongstressEnlil: We must always try, Karis.
Arch mage144: You're right.
Arch mage144: *nods*
SongstressEnlil: Lest we commit an attrocity
Arch mage144: IM: They may, in fact, be intelligent...
SongstressEnlil: *Atrocity
Jak Snide: Surrender the Heart of Kzentil to us, halflings, or this army will lay your pathetic hamlet to waste.
SongstressEnlil: IM: The what?
dragonclawsedw: *making sure to stay behind Karis, Enlil, and Kotoki* O.O
SongstressEnlil: What is this Heart?
SongstressEnlil: *To the Skeleton*
Jak Snide: *The skeleton looks over at Enlil, it's eye sockets filled with an impenetrable darkness*
Jak Snide: Who is this that stands among you?
SongstressEnlil: *Advances*
SongstressEnlil: I am Enlil.
SongstressEnlil: May I know your name?
dragonclawsedw: <<What do they want...? I didn't understand it all, but I know they're here for something....>>
Jak Snide: *The skeletons pose relaxes, and it looks down at Enlil*
Arch mage144: <<They want "The Heart of Kzentil.">>
Jak Snide: I am Baeltinn, and my minions are her for the Heart.
SongstressEnlil: What is this Heart, sir?
Arch mage144: *nods, as if seconding Enlil's question*
Jak Snide: *Sara notices one of the halflings breaking from the ranks, quickly scaling the walkway leading to the top of the giant tree*

dragonclawsedw: IM: Where's that guy going...?
Jak Snide: The Heart is an artifact these diminutive wretches have in their possession, and it is something I desire. I will obtain it, by any means.
KotokiFrog: Why do you want it?
SongstressEnlil: Why do you need it?
Arch mage144: *looking around for any halfling who could conceivably bee a leader*
dragonclawsedw: *watching the lone hafling now, ignoring everything else* o.O
Jak Snide: *The skeleton's stance shifts, clearly becoming more agressive*
SongstressEnlil: *Does not react*
Jak Snide: That, little creature, is none of your business. Just know that if these creatures do not surrender the Heart to me, all her will die today.
Arch mage144: I would like to believe that no one here will die.
SongstressEnlil: Yes, perhaps there need be no such destruction
Jak Snide: Then I suggest you persuade the hobbits to hand over the Heart.
SongstressEnlil: But, I cannot help you unless you tell my what you desire with it
Jak Snide: I told you that is none of your concern! Give me the heart of PERISH in these snowy fields!
Jak Snide: (*or)
SongstressEnlil: Why do you not tell us?
Jak Snide: *the skeleton pauses*
SongstressEnlil: I shall not judge you.
dragonclawsedw: o.o *ignoring the negotiation attemps*
dragonclawsedw: IM: The hobbit is climbing the stairs
Jak Snide: It is none of your concern, as I have said before. You try my patience, fool. One. Last Chance. Hand over the heart, or all here shall die.
Arch mage144: *shifts his stance to a relaxed pose*
Arch mage144: No one here will die.
Jak Snide: *Sara notices the hobbit entering the upermost hut on the tree*
SongstressEnlil: May we have some time to speak with the people here?
dragonclawsedw: 9.9
dragonclawsedw: *pokes the nearest hobbit and whispers*
Jak Snide: Very well. You have 15 minutes.
dragonclawsedw: *w* Where you keep heart?
Jak Snide: *the hobbit looks around at her*
Jak Snide: ¬_¬ "I have nay a clue what ye be talkin' about, miss."
KotokiFrog: *looks around*
dragonclawsedw: *w* Is it up there at top of tree? *looks up to indicate*
Jak Snide: *Kotoki notes that both the skeletons and the halflings have raised their weapons, clearly expecting battle*
Jak Snide: *The hobbit snaps around to face Sara*
Arch mage144: *raises an eyebrow* Enlil...you discuss things with the hobbits...
Arch mage144: ...I can hold things here.
SongstressEnlil: I shall try.
SongstressEnlil: Thank you.
Jak Snide: "I told you I don't know what you're talking about! We don't have any such heart here!"
dragonclawsedw: *is probably the only person to ever be intimidated by a hobbit* O___O
SongstressEnlil: *Turns to face the Halflings/Hobbits/Cabbits/Whatever*
dragonclawsedw: 9.9 *heads for the stairs to the tree*
SongstressEnlil: Please, I do not believe that Baeltinn would do this for no reason.
SongstressEnlil: What is this heart that he speaks of?
Jak Snide: *one of the halfing swordsmen looks up at her*
Arch mage144: *opens up his book and reads, casually*
dragonclawsedw: 9.9;; IM: Oh jeeze this is going to kill....
dragonclawsedw: *Starts to run up the stairs*
Arch mage144: *glances up momentarily to see Sara sprinting up the tree*
KotokiFrog: *blinks at Sarah*
Arch mage144: IM: ...what's she doing?
Jak Snide: Miss, I don't have a clue what this "Baeltinn" is talking about. If anyone knows about this, you'd have to talk to Toras.
KotokiFrog: Where are you going?
KotokiFrog: *follows*
SongstressEnlil: Alright, where may I find him?
dragonclawsedw: Up 9.9
dragonclawsedw: *runs up the stairs*
Jak Snide: *The halfling points up at the upermost hut on the tree*
Arch mage144: *surveys the skeleton force in terms of numbers*
Jak Snide: *As Sara draws nearer to the top, she can hear the talk of hobbits within the huts. Babies cry, and heated debates come from within. At the top, however, she hears the loudest of these arguments*
dragonclawsedw: *pant pant* >.o
SongstressEnlil: *Nods, and spreads her wings*
SongstressEnlil: *Then flies to where he indicated*
Jak Snide: *Karis, looking at the undead force, can see that there are at least two score of skeleton warriors, with a dozen or so archers behind. And, of course, the large skeleton*
KotokiFrog: *still following Sarah, although tiring*
Arch mage144: IM: Looks like this is going to be quite a battle, if it turns out that way...
SongstressEnlil: *Assuming the tree deflects enough wind to let her fly there*
Jak Snide: *Enlil flies up the tree, arriving at the top of the tree as Sara and Kotoki do, from within, they hear heated words....*
SongstressEnlil: *Listens*
KotokiFrog: *ditto*
dragonclawsedw: >.< *pant*
Jak Snide: But sir, they'll slaughter us if we don't give it to them!
Arch mage144: T2Sara: What are you doing up there?
SongstressEnlil: *Walks inside*
Jak Snide: I don't care what they mi...
dragonclawsedw: T: I saw a hobbit run off up here...it sounds like they're arguing...
Arch mage144: (I'll assume telepathy is understood perfectly, regardless of language barriers and whatnot.)
dragonclawsedw: (Whoah, I cannot read that...)
Arch mage144: (She's a telepath too o.o)
Jak Snide: (*nods*)
Jak Snide: *Two halflings, once garbed in fine clothing, including a fine leaf green cloak, turn to face Enlil*
SongstressEnlil: *Nods to them*
Jak Snide: Who are you?!
KotokiFrog: *walks in behind Enlil*
Jak Snide: *The hobbit is clearly stressed by the sudden development down below*
SongstressEnlil: I am Enlil. And I seek the one called Toras
Arch mage144: T: Be careful...let me know if you run into trouble.
KotokiFrog: ...so this is where you keep the heart?
dragonclawsedw: T: Okay....
dragonclawsedw: *follows in*
Jak Snide: *looking at Enlil* I am Toras...*turns to Kotoki* And we have no such thing here!
dragonclawsedw: (Uh, change all of that to "IM" not telepathy ^_^;; Sorry about that)
SongstressEnlil: Why does Baeltinn believe that it is here?
KotokiFrog: Well then, you'll be in trouble with the skeleton down there. ^_^;;
KotokiFrog: Why does he want it, anyway?
Jak Snide: I know not why this madman is here! From what I've been told, he must be some crazed necromancer after an artifact!
SongstressEnlil: Sir, please listen to me.
dragonclawsedw: o.o What name of this place?
Jak Snide: *Toras looks up at Enlil again*
Jak Snide: *"Reevyn" says the other halfing to Sara*
SongstressEnlil: If you do have this here, please tell me. Baeltinn intends to destory your home to get it. He will slay everyone for it.
SongstressEnlil: Your friends, your family, your neighbors.
SongstressEnlil: All will die fruitless deaths in order that he can attain it.
SongstressEnlil: Is it worth it, to simply keep an unliving object?
Jak Snide: *The halfling hesitates, as if thinking something over, then looks back at Enlil*
SongstressEnlil: Please, if have it here, do not endanger your people for an object.
Jak Snide: ...do you even know what this object is, do you? Do you know the tale of it's bloody history, and how many innocent lives have been taken because of it?
SongstressEnlil: *Using Aura,*
dragonclawsedw: ...what is object? o.o
SongstressEnlil: Sir, does that justify losing more lives?
dragonclawsedw: *means it more in the sense of "what does object mean in english" but it's a bit hard to tell that*
SongstressEnlil: What is the Heart?
Jak Snide: Hah! You think I'll save lives if I give them the Heart, do you? Let me tell you just what it is...
Arch mage144: *watching the skeletal army out of the corner of his eye*
SongstressEnlil: *Nods*
Jak Snide: It was the heart of the necromancer Kzentil, who turned himself into a lich, and enchanted his own heart with horrific power.
SongstressEnlil: *Aura persists, lessening the shadows around her*
dragonclawsedw: IM: What is a <<necromancer>>?! O.o;;
Arch mage144: T: A necromancer is a mage with the power to control the dead.
Jak Snide: It alows a necromancer to raise the dead from the living, stripping away flesh and blood from a live being and turning it instantly into an undead minion, destroying a life in mere seconds.
KotokiFrog: So that skeleton wants the heart because...
SongstressEnlil: Then give it to me. I will take from here, beyond where his armies can reach.
KotokiFrog: *thinking*
dragonclawsedw: IM: Eww....one of those....
SongstressEnlil: And perhaps destroy it.
Jak Snide: Bah! Entrust what we have guarded to a stranger!? The necromancer will undoubtably follow you wherever you go, and cause death and destruction behind you. And besides, what proof do we have that you aren't working for them?
SongstressEnlil: I am an angel, sir. I have vowed to never take a life.
dragonclawsedw: o.o IM: I can't understand all of this...they talk too fast....
dragonclawsedw: *picks up death and destruction though*
SongstressEnlil: Do you truly believe that I would work for one who would do such things?
dragonclawsedw: IM: Something tells me I don't want to know though... *quickly leaves to go down*
Jak Snide: ....no, I cannot trust you. Appearances are deceptive, and you are not one of us. I will not trust you until you have shown you are on our side.
Arch mage144: T: *mental image of Karis nodding, as though that were a sound idea*
SongstressEnlil: Then strike me down.
SongstressEnlil: *Sheathes Maru, Aura still going*
SongstressEnlil: I will not stop you.
Jak Snide: *The hobbit hesitates, looking Enlil staight in the eyes*
SongstressEnlil: *Looks back*
dragonclawsedw: *runs all the way down the tree, panting again*
SongstressEnlil: I do not lie to you.
Jak Snide: Maybe you aren't one of them. Maybe. But I still cannot allow you to take the Heart.
SongstressEnlil: I desire only to prevent needless death
dragonclawsedw: *runs over to Karis* Enlil talk with hobbit.....
Arch mage144: *nod* Enlil will take care of things.
SongstressEnlil: If I can lure them away from you town, I can destroy them
Jak Snide: *Both Karis and Sara can see that the large skeleton looks impatient*
dragonclawsedw: I hope... *looks to army*
dragonclawsedw: *shivers*......
Arch mage144: <<Are you afraid?>>
dragonclawsedw: *shifts behind Karis*
dragonclawsedw: <<Yes>>
dragonclawsedw: <<I'm very afraid>>
Arch mage144: *offers his hand to Sara*
KotokiFrog: So is that all we need to know? About the heart, I mean.
Arch mage144: <<Everything will be okay.>>
SongstressEnlil: Can it be used in other ways.
Jak Snide: *The hobbit looks up at Enlil, suddenly intrigued by this offer. Then he frowns* You. Alone. You think you can destroy them all? My man her tells me there are over 50 of them out there.
SongstressEnlil: I can level a town, if needs be...
Jak Snide: *the hobbit nods to the Kotoki, then turns back to Enlil*
SongstressEnlil: I wish to draw them away, and do so.
KotokiFrog: *walks down the stairs*
Jak Snide: *Toras relaxes, his face displaying his sorrow* Very well. If you think you can destroy them all, then I shall give you the Heart. But know that if you fail, hundreds will die.
SongstressEnlil: I will not fail...
Jak Snide: *Kotoki arrives at the base to see the situation isn't getting any better*
Jak Snide: Wait outside. I shall fetch the heart.
SongstressEnlil: *Nods, and goes to do so*
KotokiFrog: *stands and waits*
SongstressEnlil: *Looks after Kotoki and the rest*
dragonclawsedw: IM: There are so many...
dragonclawsedw: IM: If they attack I'm going to die...
SongstressEnlil: IM: Please... let this work...
Jak Snide: *Enlil waits for a minute, then Toras walks outside, holding a large, red gem in his hands. Upon closer inspection, she can see that there is an ancient, withered heart inside*
Jak Snide: H...here...take it.
Arch mage144: *takes Sara's hand, trying to comfort her*
dragonclawsedw: *is shaking and feels very cold*
SongstressEnlil: *Does so*
SongstressEnlil: *Then closes her eyes*
Jak Snide: *Toras hands the heart over swiftly...*
Arch mage144: *squeezes gently in a gesture of reassurance*
Jak Snide: (wait...)
SongstressEnlil: IM:Father, may I be successful...
Jak Snide: *...and immediately Enlil's head is flooded with horrific, diabolic images, depicting deeds too terrible to describe. She staggers, the sheer force of these images straining her mind and body*
SongstressEnlil: >_<
SongstressEnlil: IM: NO!
SongstressEnlil: IM: You cannot Force me!
Jak Snide: *Pushing the barrage back, out of her mind, she regains her composure, although she is visibly weakened by the ordeal*
SongstressEnlil: IM: My mind is my own!
Jak Snide: Where is your messenger, human? *to Karis*
Arch mage144: She will return. I am confident in this.
SongstressEnlil: *To Toras* Why have you not destoryed this?
Arch mage144: *flips the page in his book absently*
dragonclawsedw: o.o *peers over Karis's shoulder*
dragonclawsedw: What do you read?
Arch mage144: Oh, it's just a book I've been into for a while...
Arch mage144: T: ...this is a special book.
KotokiFrog: *starts to hum, quietly shifting from foot to foot*
Jak Snide: It is impossible. Even the greatest of our mages cannot harm it, and we have no knowledge of what would.
dragonclawsedw: IM: Special how?
dragonclawsedw: o.o
SongstressEnlil: *Nods, and looks at it Astrally, seeing if she can find a way herself*
Arch mage144: T: I'll show you...if it turns out that we have to fight...
Jak Snide: Your time is almost up, boy. I hope, for your sake, that she does.
SongstressEnlil: (Using Interrelations of Dimensional Forces)
Arch mage144: T2Enlil: Enlil! We're running out of time! They're demanding you come out...
SongstressEnlil: IM: I shall be there in a moment
Jak Snide: *Enlil can tell that the object is drawing a huge amount of energy from the negative energy plane, but nothing more. It's aura is completely pitch black, and ten times as strong as that of any normal mage*
Jak Snide: I grow weary of this charade. *the skeleton points at a halfing home, and 3 skeletons move off towards it*
SongstressEnlil: (any way to destroy it she can divine)
dragonclawsedw: O.O
dragonclawsedw: No stop!
Jak Snide: (Nope)
dragonclawsedw: Do not hurt hobbits! O.O
SongstressEnlil: *Spreads her Wings, and takes flight*
Arch mage144: Hold it!
Arch mage144: *points up*
SongstressEnlil: *She flies over the army, and lands behind it*
SongstressEnlil: I have the heart!
Jak Snide: *The large skeleton looks up, and spots Enlil. The three skeletons stops.*
SongstressEnlil: You desire to have it?
Jak Snide: *The skeletons eye sockets flare red for a moment*
dragonclawsedw: *breaths a small sigh of relief*
Jak Snide: I do. Hand it over, and I shall leave have my minions leave this place.
SongstressEnlil: Catch me.
dragonclawsedw: O.o Why she say that?!
Arch mage144: IM: This does not bode well.
dragonclawsedw: <<Enlil what are you doing?!>>>
dragonclawsedw: <<He'll kill you!>>
SongstressEnlil: <<Luring him away>>
Arch mage144: T2S: Trust her...I think she has a plan.
SongstressEnlil: <<Please no not follow>>
SongstressEnlil: *Do not
Jak Snide: *For a moment, both Enlil and Kotoki feel that there is an outside force commanding the large skeleton, and that whoever Baeltinn is, he is not here*
KotokiFrog: *blink blink*
KotokiFrog: ...?
Jak Snide: You are a fool girl, and for this you, and this pathetic village shall pay!
SongstressEnlil: Then you lose your army.
Jak Snide: (Pause)
SongstressEnlil: And you will never take it from me
dragonclawsedw: (Cutscene!)
SongstressEnlil: (Dambit)
KotokiFrog: (*machine whirs as the pretty CG begins*)
Jak Snide: *The large skeleton and a score of skeletons, armed with swords and bows, move after Enlil, arrows already beginning to fly in her direction, the wind proving her saving grace from them...*
KotokiFrog: >_>
Jak Snide: *...as for the rest of the skeletons, they move towards the halfling soldiers, who raise their arms, preparing for battle*
Jak Snide: (Alright, Enlil, I presume is fleeing. As for the other 3, you have to choice to fight or flee)
SongstressEnlil: Destory them, and you lose your forces! Catch me, and get what you desire!
KotokiFrog: (Uh, fight.)
SongstressEnlil: *Takes to the air, and flies with the wind*
dragonclawsedw: O.O
Arch mage144: I will not allow you to harm anyone! *holds out his book*
dragonclawsedw: EEEEEEKKKK!
KotokiFrog: *looks at Sara*
KotokiFrog: Stay calm!
Jak Snide: *The large skeleton and his force follow Enlil, the large one's gaze skyward, tracking her*
KotokiFrog: *readies crossbow and takes aim*
SongstressEnlil: (Lemme know when I get them a ways away)
Jak Snide: (Enlil and her persuers are out of the picture for the moment. Combat time! roll initiative!)
dragonclawsedw: O.O Get...get them away... *lifts her hands*
*OnlineHost*: dragonclawsedw rolled 2 6-sided dice: 2 2
*OnlineHost*: Arch mage144 rolled 2 6-sided dice: 2 4
Arch mage144: (13)
Jak Snide: (Kotoki?)
KotokiFrog: (*can't remember how to roll*)
KotokiFrog: (*is dumb*)
SongstressEnlil: (//roll -dice1 -sides5)
SongstressEnlil: (*6)
*OnlineHost*: KotokiFrog rolled 2 6-sided dice: 4 1
Arch mage144: (Except that you want two dice for init, so it's just //roll)
SongstressEnlil: (Yeah, used to chat sys :P)
Jak Snide: *With a battle cry, the halflings let lose a hail of arrows, while some draw swords and axes, preparing for an assault.*
Jak Snide: *The skeletons, suddenly filled with energy, charge forward, the arrows proving less than effective against their bone bodies*
Jak Snide: *Six skeletons draw near to the remaining 3 of the group, 3 armed with sword, the others armed with bows. Clearly, the party will have to fight them*
Jak Snide: (Karis)
Arch mage144: *Karis raises his book, concentrating, and the pages begin to turn on their own*
dragonclawsedw has left the room.
Jak Snide: (Gah damnit.)
dragonclawsedw has entered the room.
Arch mage144: *suddenly, the book wiggles*
Arch mage144: *and, assuming it hits, one of those bow wielding skeletons is going to feel like they just got smacked with a physical blow*
Arch mage144: (Medium attack.)
Jak Snide: (o.O An unusual attack, but okay!)
Arch mage144: (FFT. Battle Dictionary.)
dragonclawsedw: O.o Book like Hakarils?
Arch mage144: It's a magic book, designed for combat...
Arch mage144: Easily concealed.
dragonclawsedw: ...combat book?
dragonclawsedw: IM: ...this world is odd...
dragonclawsedw: IM: So very very odd...
Jak Snide: *Suddenly, one the archer skeletons reels back, as if a powerful jab had been delivered to it's jaw, the jawbone cracking and spinning off to the side, clearly weakening the skeleton*
Jak Snide: (19 damage)
dragonclawsedw: o______o
Jak Snide: *One of the sword wielding skeletons charges Karis, who being the closest is the easiest taret to get at, blade raised high and screeching like a banshee*
Arch mage144: *makes an attempt to block with the book*
dragonclawsedw: Karis <<LOOK OUT!>>
Jak Snide: *His book is dashed aside, and the blade cuts across his chest, slicing through his clothing a drawing a crimson line across his torso*
Arch mage144: *winces, yelping*
Jak Snide: (16 damage, 59 HP left)
Jak Snide: (Sorry, 53)
Jak Snide: (Kotoki!)
Arch mage144: *reflexively, he hops backwards, putting a hand on his chest*
KotokiFrog: *fires at the nearest skeleton*
dragonclawsedw: O.O Karis!!!
Arch mage144: *looks over at Sara* I'm fine!
dragonclawsedw: You bleed! O.O
Jak Snide: *The bolt flies forth from Kotoki's weapon, striking a sword wielding skeleton dead centre in the skull, pitching it right off the neck.*
Jak Snide: *A split second later, it crumbled into a pile of bones*
KotokiFrog: ^_^
Jak Snide: (52 damage, a crticial. It'll take a full turn for her to reload)
Arch mage144: I'm fine, Sara, I'm fine!
Arch mage144: Concentrate on them! *points*
dragonclawsedw: <.< O_O
Jak Snide: *The 3rd sword skeleton bears down on Sara, its sword drawn back for a thrust*
Jak Snide: (Any defensive actions?)
dragonclawsedw: O.O
dragonclawsedw: (None this time Jak)
Jak Snide: (OUCH)
Jak Snide: *And the blade jabs right through her shoulder before she can react, the skeleton withdrawing it quickly with a twist, a trail of blood following the exit of the blade, and leaving Sara in deep, deep pain*
Jak Snide: (Is she wearing any armor?)
dragonclawsedw: (Just robes)
Arch mage144: SARA!
dragonclawsedw: >.< A....AAHHHHHH!!!!!!
Jak Snide: (22 damage, 38 HP left)
KotokiFrog: o_o
dragonclawsedw: (Damn O_o)
Jak Snide: (You got criticaled, gal_
Jak Snide: *)
Jak Snide: (And now, for more pain...)
Arch mage144: *darts to her side as quickly as he can, grabbing to support her*
Jak Snide: *But befor Karis can do so, he is pitched off his feet, as an arrow slams into him, knocking the wind right out of him as he hits the ground*
Jak Snide: (39 damage)
dragonclawsedw: O.O
dragonclawsedw: NO!
Jak Snide: (14 HP left)
Arch mage144: *thuds, breathing shallowly and hacking intermittently*
KotokiFrog: O_O
dragonclawsedw: KARIS! O.O
KotokiFrog: This is... bad...
Jak Snide: *Kotoki likewise feels the bite of an arrow, this one embedding itself in her thigh*
dragonclawsedw: IM: We're going to die....
Arch mage144: ...T...Tuh...
dragonclawsedw: IM: We're all going to die....
Jak Snide: (14 damage)
Arch mage144: ...Tunare...help me...
dragonclawsedw: O.O
Jak Snide: (36 HP left for Kotoki...)
KotokiFrog: Do either of you have any potions?
SongstressEnlil: (Wow, you folks must have awful stamina)
KotokiFrog: (Yup.)
dragonclawsedw: (*has a 1*)
KotokiFrog: (-1 here.)
Jak Snide: *Sara, despite staring at the badly wounder Karis, spots something out of the corner of her eye. Throwing herself to the ground, an arrow whistles overhead*
Jak Snide: (Sara!)
dragonclawsedw: O.O 9.9 O.O
dragonclawsedw: >.< .... *puts her hands out in front of her*
dragonclawsedw: FIRE!
dragonclawsedw: *casts flamethrower on the skeleton that stabbed her*
Arch mage144: ...IM: I can't die like this...
Arch mage144: IM: ...not here..
KotokiFrog: Sir. Do you have any healing items at all?
KotokiFrog: *looks around to see if there are any white mages among the hobbits*
Jak Snide: *The skeleton, despite being consumed in flame, appears to not be that affected, a few losely attacked ribs and minor bones tumbling to the ground, and the skeleton remaining unignited*
Jak Snide: (Down to 63 MP, and 15 damage done)
Jak Snide: (Karis' turn. He suffers a -5 penalty to all actions)
dragonclawsedw: O.O *scared shitless now*
Arch mage144: *coughs violently, noting the loss of his book*
Arch mage144: *rolls over, reaching into his coat pocket, and pulls out a shining handgun with a pearl grip*
Arch mage144: (Are there any skeletal warriors near Sara or himself?)
Jak Snide: (Uh, yah. There's the one standing by him, and the one which Sara just torched)
Arch mage144: *figuring he needs to save himself, takes a shot at the skeleton nearest to him, hand shaking slightly* I...*cough*...will not...allow you...*cough*...to harm...anyone!
Jak Snide: (.45 colt, or .35?)
Arch mage144: (*points to OOC*)
Jak Snide: *And, with a roar and a muzzle flash, the holy charged ammunition blows clean through the skeletons rib cage, the rest of the animated warrior collapsing around it*
Jak Snide: (26 damage)
Arch mage144: *breathes a sigh of relief*
Jak Snide: (Now, wait, 52. ^_^;; )
Arch mage144: ...no one...is going to die here...
Jak Snide: (Kotoki!)
KotokiFrog: All right.
KotokiFrog: I don't do this often anymore, but it seems that the situation calls for it...
Jak Snide: (Ut oh...)
KotokiFrog: *closes her eyes and lifts her arm to the sky*
KotokiFrog: PRETTY HENTAI POWER, MAKE UP!
Arch mage144: IM: ...what the...
KotokiFrog: *the snowfields fall away, to be replaced by a black void*
dragonclawsedw: O_o;;;
dragonclawsedw: ....hat the hell?
KotokiFrog: *multiple pairs of hands appear from the darkness and undress Kotoki, as her body shimmers pale purple*
dragonclawsedw: o_____o
SongstressEnlil: *Flying like Hell* That felt odd... What strange magic...
KotokiFrog: *the shimmer is soon replaced by a pink and purple sailor suit- a very, very skimpy one. Kotoki spins several times, and strikes a pose as the snowfields reappear*
dragonclawsedw: o_____o
dragonclawsedw: IM: Reminds me of that one show back on Earth...
KotokiFrog: You skeletons who threaten the lives of young lovers!
KotokiFrog: I cannot forgive you!
KotokiFrog: I am Sailor H, and in the name of justice and perversion, I'm gonna kick your asses!
Jak Snide: (Kotoki uses "Magical Girl Transformation!" and becomes Sailor H! +2 to Str and Sta, which grants an extra 10 HP, putting her on 46/60 HP)
Arch mage144: (...*jaw drop*)
Jak Snide: *despite the fierce battle that is going on around them, some of the nearer halfings cannot help but stare in confusion*
dragonclawsedw: o______o *is also joining those ranks*
KotokiFrog: ...*notices*
KotokiFrog: ^//^
KotokiFrog: Rather cold out here, isn't it?
Jak Snide: *The skeleton in front of Sara, unaffected by the extreme fanservice that just took place, graps it's small sword with both hands, and swings downwards at Sara*
Jak Snide: (Defensive action?)
dragonclawsedw: O.O
dragonclawsedw: *gets the HELL out of the way*
dragonclawsedw: (Duck)
Jak Snide: *And, half ducking, half skirting to the side, Sara swiftly moves the heck out of the way, most likely ensuring her continued existance on this plane for now*
Arch mage144: *coughs* SARA!
dragonclawsedw: I OKAY! *winces* IM: Sort of!
Jak Snide: *Another hail of arrows flies past, one impacting near Karis' head, another between Sara's feet, and the third whistling over Kotoki/Sailor H's shoulder*
Jak Snide: (Sara!)
Arch mage144: *eyes widen for a moment, then relax, as Karis shifts his body (still on the ground) to be able to face the action, gun still in hand*
dragonclawsedw: *tries the only other spell she knows*
dragonclawsedw: ...<<ICE!>>
dragonclawsedw: *and casts frostbite on the skeleton that is currently in her face*
Jak Snide: (Your intuition warns you of the backlash damage from the spell. Still wish to continue?)
Jak Snide: (Or do you want to take a good few steps back first?)
dragonclawsedw: (Step back *nods*)
dragonclawsedw: (Since she was hit with the spell before of course...)
Jak Snide: (Let's here a "woo!" for Sara, ladies and gents!)
Jak Snide: *Retreating a short way, Sara lets a small dagger of ice fly, impacting against the skeleton...and simply blasting it apart, spraying the ground with shards of ice and bone*
Arch mage144: Nice...nice shot, Sara!
Jak Snide: (70 damage. Uh, wow. o_o)
dragonclawsedw: (O_o)
Jak Snide: (Critical, by the by)
Jak Snide: (Karis! Only the 3 archers remain, one of which is injured)
dragonclawsedw: O.O
Arch mage144: (I'm assuming I'm still at penalties to act.)
dragonclawsedw: I stay with <<ice>> from now on.
dragonclawsedw: *nods sagely*
Jak Snide: (Yup)
Arch mage144: *struggles to his feet, reaches into his coat with his other hand, and pulls out a rather heavy looking silver handgun with a design similar to a modern Desert Eagle, or to Vash's gun in Trigun (easiest desc possible)*
dragonclawsedw: IM: Karis has a lot of guns..
Arch mage144: *kneeling to brace himself, the mediator crosses one arm over the other at the wrist, guns sideways, and takes aim at a skeletal archer*
Arch mage144: *squeezing the trigger, Karis' eyes narrow, as though sending a message with the ammunition that rockets down the battlefield--a message that says "get the fuck away from my friends, undead scum"*
Jak Snide: *One of the archer's arms is torn off as the .45 bullet lands home, it's body from the chest up being blown away a split second later as the .35 shot finds it's mark*
Jak Snide: (26 damage followed by 30, for a total of 56. Karis gets the "bad motherfucker" award)
Arch mage144: *having exhausted himself, thuds forward onto the snow*
Jak Snide: (Sailor H!)
KotokiFrog: Right.
KotokiFrog: *closes eyes again and makes hand gestures*
KotokiFrog: I call forces from the depths of time!
KotokiFrog: From countless battles!
dragonclawsedw: o_____o What you doing???
KotokiFrog: Forces that cannot be named!
KotokiFrog: Forces covered in tentacles!
KotokiFrog: *opens eyes*
KotokiFrog: Awaken! Pochi!
KotokiFrog: (Summon Lesser T-Monster.)
dragonclawsedw: (XD Oh dear lord...)
Jak Snide: *A flash of blinding light erupts from in front of Sailor H. When it fades...a small-ish tentacle monster, no more than 5 feet tall, erm, "stands", looking up at it's mistress with a single puppy-dog eye*
Jak Snide: (Give it a command. ^_^)
KotokiFrog: *pats t-monster on the head*
KotokiFrog: Good boy. Go get those bad skeletons now. ^_^
Jak Snide: *Pochi spins around, and looks at the skeletons, suddenly seeming disapointed*
Arch mage144: *doesn't notice any of this, being facedown in the snow and breathing rather hard*
dragonclawsedw: o_____o
KotokiFrog: C'mon, boy... You can rape their skulls or something.
KotokiFrog: ^//^
dragonclawsedw: ....you...create...monster..... O_____O;;;;;;;;;;;
Jak Snide: *It somewhat half-heartedly slithers up to one of the skeletons, and swings a tentacle at it*
KotokiFrog: No... I only summoned him.
KotokiFrog: He'll go back before any harm comes to either of you. Don't worry. ^_^
Jak Snide: *An attack that "cleaves" through the spine of the unfortunate undead creature, sending it toppling into 2 pieces*
dragonclawsedw: O_________O
Jak Snide: *Suddenly, an arrow embeds itself in Pochi's hide, causing the poor little thing to recoil and whimper in pain*
Jak Snide: (16 damage)
Jak Snide: (Sara!)
dragonclawsedw: *points at the (remaining?) skeleton* <<ICE!>>
Jak Snide: *Again, another dagger of ice flies out....yet simply melts before it reaches it's target*
Jak Snide: (Karis!)
Arch mage144: *Karis, being rather exhausted, twists his head so as to be able to sight the remaining skeleton and, gasping sharply as a result of the pain involved, squeezes a single shot from his .35 off*
dragonclawsedw has left the room.
Jak Snide: *Much like before, the bullet tears into the final skeleton, blasting it apart. The group seems to be safe now, even though the battle around them still rages....*
Jak Snide: (42 damage)
Arch mage144: *collapses on the snow*
Arch mage144: (I think it might be best to hold on the wrap up for tomorrow.)
Jak Snide: (I was thinking of doing Enlil's bit now, but I can wait.)
Arch mage144: (I'd say wait.)
Jak Snide: (Now would be a fairly good time to pause actually, and it saves Kate having to read up a log.)
SongstressEnlil: (I want to do it)
SongstressEnlil: (Seeing as you aren't involved,)
SongstressEnlil: (And it would speed up things tomorrow)
Jak Snide: (Rachel and Adam, feel free to go, since there won't be any more for you two tonight.)
SongstressEnlil: (Adam? :P)
Jak Snide: (Er, Brian. >_<)
Jak Snide: (God damnit, I need another choco/tea....)
KotokiFrog: (I'll stay and lruk. ^_^)
