You have just entered room "The Elements of Balance."
dragonclawsedw: Problem?
der Archmage: Not now.
der Archmage: Didn't want to have to deal with other people messaging me.
T3chn0Namagomi: Der Yayering!
der Archmage: Anyway...this RP is going to follow, plotwise, on the heels of the whole bit with Nikumu's artifacts.
Jak Snide: Right. Ready to rumble. Or RP.
der Archmage: It's not uber important if you don't know what happened there.
T3chn0Namagomi: I know what happened there.
Ryuugami: *does not, doesn't care*
T3chn0Namagomi: D and Kilra did something very naughty.
der Archmage: It doesn't actually matter...and, erm, not exactly.
T3chn0Namagomi: XP
Ryuugami: OMG THEY WATCHED DISNEY TOGETHER? :{{{{
Ryuugami: HOW NAUGHTY
der Archmage: o_o;
Ryuugami: *snickers*
Ryuugami: <.<;
Jak Snide: >.>
der Archmage: Right.
T3chn0Namagomi: Okay...let's cut to the chase, shall we?
dragonclawsedw: *grins*
der Archmage: Anyway, starting location for this can be, really, anywhere in Doma City, probably near the castle or a local focal point.. You four figure out an exact locale, and I'll take it from there.
T3chn0Namagomi: A bar!!!
Jak Snide: :D!
der Archmage: ...er, whatever works. You won't be there very long.
Ryuugami: XD
Ryuugami: Bar works for Aerin JUST fine
Jak Snide: Kotoki's could work, although another bar is acceptable.
dragonclawsedw: *will be starting Ara in the castle*
dragonclawsedw: *will migrate though* ^^
Ryuugami: Bah! Shaun made up numbers for Aerin's crossbow... >_< But I forgot them!
Ryuugami: Maybe I should lurk anyway...
Jak Snide: <.< Crossbows have official numbers
Jak Snide: What type does she have?
Ryuugami: No clue. She bought it with Mahou.
Jak Snide: What's her strength?
Ryuugami: ...for a crossbow? o_O
Ryuugami: 1
Jak Snide: Right. Light Crossboy
der Archmage: X-bow wouldn't depend on STR o_o
Jak Snide: *Crossbow
der Archmage: ...just how big of one you could handle, not damage though.
Jak Snide: She needs Str 3 to wield a heavy one
Ryuugami: *nods*
Ryuugami: >.>;; I've been RPing all day. You all RP...I'll just lurk and watch
Jak Snide: Accuracy 15, 24+2d4 damage, takes a turn to reload.
Jak Snide: <.< Aaaaw.
dragonclawsedw: Awww.. Diaaa
Jak Snide: Come on...pleeeeeeease. O.O *puppy dog eyes*
der Archmage: ...o.o Don't lurk!
Ryuugami: Fine fine. >_>;;;
Ryuugami: It's what Aerin does best anyway...
Jak Snide: Yayerings!
der Archmage: ....you really don't want to RP?
der Archmage: I bet you'll get started and you'll enjoy it >.>;;
Jak Snide: <.< *nods*
Jak Snide: If not, Aerin can just...lurk out. ^_^;;
Ryuugami: aye
Jak Snide: Anyways....does Kotoki's bar sound like a good location for us all?
T3chn0Namagomi: Yes.
Jak Snide: Right. Then, Brian, take it away...
der Archmage: *nod*
der Archmage: <TEH GM!>
dragonclawsedw: <Ara!>
Jak Snide: <Jak Snide, currently on duty>
Ryuugami: <Aerin Marra, lurker extraordinaire>
T3chn0Namagomi: <Kamos, now with extra shotgun!>
der Archmage: *it is a fairly ordinary day in Kotoki's bar and the surrounding Doma area--people bustle about, doing their business, with little regard for the fact that great events may be unfolding about them...*
Jak Snide: (Probably because there's always some great event about to unfold...)
der Archmage: (...shush, you!)
der Archmage: *Ara, having been given a set of directives, mills about preparing herself for her task...*
dragonclawsedw: *paces back and forth* Great, just great Aya picked a wonderful time to go on vacation....
Ryuugami: *for an instance of great and unsual events, one can go to Kotoki's Inn, where Aerin Marra has actually left the safety and isolation of the castle library for once, to venture out AMONGST PEOPLE!*
dragonclawsedw: T: It's not a vacation you know...
T3chn0Namagomi: ...
dragonclawsedw: T: Hey where did you put those artifacts? Aside from the staff?
dragonclawsedw: T: The vault of course...
dragonclawsedw: Oh...duh...
Ryuugami: *well, almost amongst people...she is currently lurking in the farthest, least noticeable corner of the bar, not daring to bring any attention to herself*
Jak Snide: *Jak, however, is being usual and sitting at a table, feet up, and watching the bar from under his hat*
T3chn0Namagomi: *is, of course, sitting at the table. Drinking sake as usual, occasionally eating a marshmallow*
dragonclawsedw: *heads for the vault, grinning like a loon under her royal robes*
dragonclawsedw: IM: Filling in sucks....
dragonclawsedw: *pulls out the Lense and the crest*
Jak Snide: *glares at a bar waitress getting a little too chatty for her job, and sends her back to work with a mean glare*
dragonclawsedw: Since Hakaril used these things, he's been bound to Nimuku....
Jak Snide: (*the mean glare.)
dragonclawsedw: Gotta destroy these things....
der Archmage: ("the mean glare," eh? XD)
dragonclawsedw: *looks at the map Hakaril gave her* .....
dragonclawsedw: ;_; I'll never find my way on my own!
dragonclawsedw: *pulls off the robes to reveal her normal clothing underneath* I guess I'll need help....
T3chn0Namagomi: I swear, life is just getting weirder and weirder
dragonclawsedw: *scoots out the door* IM: Maybe Dia can help me? No...that won't work...
dragonclawsedw: IM: Ayra said she has a broken leg...
Jak Snide: IM: They get paid to serve drinks and food, not make this place look like a knocking shop....
dragonclawsedw: IM: Maybe the ivory horn? Nah...Ozzy doesn't like that fighting thing....and Mac frightens me...
T3chn0Namagomi: IM: Now....where am I going to go to get money now?
dragonclawsedw: IM: Maybe Kotoki's has some people!
dragonclawsedw: T: Just give Jak some money, he'll be glad to help
dragonclawsedw: T: Out of my head you...
T3chn0Namagomi: IM: Hmm....well, I guess I didn't really love Arnast or Pheryl....v.v...I can't believe I used them...At least I know now.
dragonclawsedw: *heads for Kotoki's*
Jak Snide: IM: Bloody hell...why do I have to sit around and watch the place while she's gone?! I'm sure that little bitch Alissa is lurking around her somewhere....
Jak Snide: IM: And who is that wierd girl in the corner? *looking at Aerin*
T3chn0Namagomi: *gulps down his sake*
dragonclawsedw: *busts into the bar rather untactfully and loud* Who wants to make money!
Ryuugami: *eying everyone nervously, playing with the hem of her shirt*
T3chn0Namagomi: !!!
T3chn0Namagomi: I want money!
Ryuugami: o_O;;
Jak Snide: ¬.¬ Hmm?
Jak Snide: *looks at Ara*
dragonclawsedw: IM: Wow, that worked well...
Ryuugami: *blinks at Ara* ...
Jak Snide: IM: "But dear, I was simply trying to make some extra income! For repairs and all!"
Jak Snide: IM: Yes, that'll work....
Jak Snide: ¬.¬ What're you doing here? *to Ara*
dragonclawsedw: I need a few people to help guide me to someplace....
Jak Snide: Where?
T3chn0Namagomi: Uhh...who or what do you want me to kill?
dragonclawsedw: A temple south of here
Ryuugami: *subtly stands up and scoots closer to Ara, amazingly still not drawing a great deal of attention*
Jak Snide: An evil temple?
Ryuugami: o.o;;
dragonclawsedw: No a good temple actually...
Ryuugami: IM: That is the queen's sister, isn't it...
T3chn0Namagomi: Do we have to go to a damn temple full of pansies?!
Jak Snide: IM: Good. No evil drow mages with polymorph spells then...
dragonclawsedw: Hey Jak, you remember when you visited Gunnir right?
Ryuugami: IM: I can't believe the royal family hosts me without asking for anything... >_>;;
Jak Snide: ......
dragonclawsedw: IM: Aya wouldn't stop talking about that.....XD
Jak Snide: Yes. *hisses the words out*
dragonclawsedw: This sort of has to do with that....
dragonclawsedw: *walks over, pulls out the staff of unrelenting anger and sets it on the bar*&
der Archmage: ...that's a rather large staff you've got there.
dragonclawsedw: We got this not long after out of that whole incident...
T3chn0Namagomi: ???
T3chn0Namagomi: *looks for where the voice came from*
dragonclawsedw: <.<;;;;; All the better to whack you with?
Ryuugami: o.o;;
der Archmage: *the possibly familiar figure of a mediator in a grey outfit with dark, brown hair and eyes to match blinks at Ara*
dragonclawsedw: O.o
T3chn0Namagomi: ...He dresses funny.
Jak Snide: *looks at the man*
Ryuugami: *brightens a bit...or at least looks slightly less nervous*
der Archmage: *blinks* So...why would you want to whack me with it? *smiles warmly*
Ryuugami: *Aerin even ventures a very timid smile and wave at Karis* >.>;;
der Archmage: o.o Hey! It's you!
der Archmage: ^_^ *smiles and waves back* Hi!
dragonclawsedw: *smirks a little* It's a joke referring to an Ayenee fairy-tale....
T3chn0Namagomi: ...I don't think I've seen you before.
der Archmage: ...sure you have. *blinks at Kamos*
Ryuugami: *shifts her weight lightly from foot to foot, and takes the opportunity to try to get Ara's attention...which is kinda counteracted by the fact she's whispering* Miss Ara... >.>;;
der Archmage: Hey, Aerin, speak up. She can't hear you if you whisper. ^_^
Ryuugami: >_>;;;;
Ryuugami: <_<;;;;
dragonclawsedw: <.<
Ryuugami: Uh...miss Ara...
dragonclawsedw: Yes?
Ryuugami: *mumble* I'll help you... ... ... >.>;;;
Jak Snide: *coughs loudly* Oi, Ara. As you were saying...
dragonclawsedw: You'll help? Thanks...
Ryuugami: *finds that enough, and scoots away from the group a bit*
dragonclawsedw: >.> Oh yeah...well these artifacts are like evil things that the drow that turned you into a Nightstand was trying to get.
T3chn0Namagomi: So...is this payment going to be advance or after the job is done?
dragonclawsedw: Afterwards Kamos, I'm not stupid.
T3chn0Namagomi: But what if we need supplies?
der Archmage: *blinks*
dragonclawsedw: Don't you have your own money?
Jak Snide: .....
T3chn0Namagomi: *grins innocently as he can*
der Archmage: ...you're being impatient. Let her speak.
der Archmage: Besides, I'm sure a mercenary like yourself has the supplies you need, right? o.o
T3chn0Namagomi: Not healing.
der Archmage: ...if you don't, you can't hardly call yourself a prepared and quality mercenary...
dragonclawsedw: *snicker*
Jak Snide: IM: ....where the fuck did I leave my healing potions again?
T3chn0Namagomi: I usually go to the medic afterwards
Jak Snide: IM: White mage reliant trash....
dragonclawsedw: IM: Damn, I should have grabbed something while at the castle...
der Archmage: ...that assumes you survive the job at all...
T3chn0Namagomi: And I don't mean those damn white mages
dragonclawsedw: *shakes head* Kamos you're a moocher...
Jak Snide: OI! What the fuck is the job already?!
dragonclawsedw: *turns back to Jak*
T3chn0Namagomi: I mean the REAL medics. The ones who actually STITCH your wounds up
Jak Snide: IM: I need to get out more...
dragonclawsedw: I need some people to help me get to the temple...and well straighten things out if something comes up...
Jak Snide: Right. Kill stuff, keep you alive, possibly save world from destruction. Got it.
T3chn0Namagomi: Hey, what did you call me? I am not a fucking mooch! I am resourceeful, damnit!
Jak Snide: *stops leaning back, and gets up*
der Archmage: I'm willing to help!
dragonclawsedw: IM: Well he was easy to convince!
T3chn0Namagomi: *resourceful
Jak Snide: How much do we get paid for this?
der Archmage: ...*grins at Aerin* Are you coming too?
dragonclawsedw: ^_^ That's great, thank you.
T3chn0Namagomi: Yeah...what kind of payment?
der Archmage: If she's going, you don't have to pay me anything. *winks*
Ryuugami: Y, yes... o.o;;;
Ryuugami: o___o;;;
der Archmage: ...great! ^_^
der Archmage: o.o So where're we headed? A temple?
der Archmage: Do you know where it is?
Jak Snide: *taps foot, waitinf for Ara to reply*
Jak Snide: (Waiting)
dragonclawsedw: I do!
dragonclawsedw: *pulls out the map Hak gave her*
T3chn0Namagomi: Good. I'm not a damn navigator
dragonclawsedw: Here's a map ^_^ I need help getting there..
T3chn0Namagomi: ...
Ryuugami: <_<;;
T3chn0Namagomi: ...you're a dragon, and you need help. That doesn't say much about you, but I'll take the job anyway. I want the money
der Archmage: *looking at the map* Mmm...oh. o.o
der Archmage: Sure! I think I can help...
Ryuugami: IM: Didn't I hear that her majesty is horrible with directions? Is her sister as well...?
der Archmage: ...what about these two? *points to Jak and Kamos*
der Archmage: You going to take them with us? I think they'd like to know what they're getting paid. *nods*
Ryuugami: *peeps at the map* o.o
Jak Snide: *grits his teeth*
Jak Snide: Yes, Indeed I do.
dragonclawsedw: Of course they're coming...IM: There's money involved...
dragonclawsedw: *gives Karis the map*
der Archmage: *studying map*
Jak Snide: ....
der Archmage: ...mmmhmm. It's not that far away, but it'll take a bit if we walk.
Jak Snide: IM: Come on, how much gil is this worth...it's not that hard you green bitch...
T3chn0Namagomi: How much money are you going to give us, damnit
Ryuugami: >_>;;;
dragonclawsedw: >V>
der Archmage: >.>;; Patience, friends.
Ryuugami: IM: Wow, how greedy...
dragonclawsedw: 1000 each to shut you two up
dragonclawsedw: If you don't act like assholes I might make it more.
T3chn0Namagomi: ...in advance?
Ryuugami: IM: I wonder if we could do just as well without those two...
dragonclawsedw: No not in advance!
der Archmage: The lady already said no, Kamos.
der Archmage: *smiles faintly at Aerin*
Ryuugami: o-o;;;
der Archmage: So. ^_^ What mode of transportation does everyone favor?
Jak Snide: IM: That's good.
T3chn0Namagomi: I can fly if I need to.
Ryuugami: o_o;;
der Archmage: You can't just fly ahead and leave us behind. *blinks*
Ryuugami: *quietly* Chocobos...? >->;;
Jak Snide: Payment after is fine. I'm in.der Archmage: *nods at Aerin and Jak alike* Any objections?
dragonclawsedw: I prefer dragon. *grin*
der Archmage: *blinks*
Jak Snide: Chocobos? None at all, since I'm just a plain and simple human who can't turn into anything fancy.
Ryuugami: o__o;
Jak Snide: IM: Fucking freaks...
Ryuugami: >.>;;
T3chn0Namagomi: *teasingly, to Ara* Although I'll accept half if you can get Aya away from the king.
Ryuugami: o_O;;;
T3chn0Namagomi: *snickers*
Ryuugami: IM: ...is he...touched in the head...?
dragonclawsedw: <_<; No.
Jak Snide: e.e Look, can we stop fucking talking and get a move on?
dragonclawsedw: Though I think it would be a better idea if we just get chocobos or something...
der Archmage: ...of course, why not? o.o
Jak Snide: IM: Back home, we'd be halfway to the temple by now...
T3chn0Namagomi: Okay, but I am not sitting on a damn flightless bird
der Archmage: Then you can follow us in flight. *nod*
dragonclawsedw: Ceiphied *rolls eyes*
Jak Snide: Whatever, Valth. If she's paying for them, I'm not objecting.
dragonclawsedw: Where's the chocobo rental or whatever in this place?
Jak Snide: ...say, don't the royal stables have any?
T3chn0Namagomi has left the room.
der Archmage: I'd think they do. I've seen them.
Jak Snide: (o.O
Jak Snide: *)
T3chn0Namagomi has entered the room.
Jak Snide: Right, then we can get them from there, and maybe grab some supplies as well.
der Archmage: Perhaps so. *nod*
Jak Snide: IM: Royalty are always good for mooching.
dragonclawsedw: True then... *heads back to the castle*
dragonclawsedw: IM: Lord everyone's always mooching off of Aya >.>;;
Jak Snide: *follows, grinning as he finally gets out of the inn*
Ryuugami: *trails at the back of the group*
Jak Snide: BRANDON! Watch the place!
Jak Snide: *turns his head back to his front, and follows the dragon*
T3chn0Namagomi: On the other hand, I may need to be able to kick the shit out of anything...can't do that if I'm exhausted...
dragonclawsedw: *sigh* Make up your damn mind Kamos...
dragonclawsedw: *enters the castle with little trouble, aside from Zemekis's badgering*
der Archmage: *nods and smiles warmly at everyone he sees*
T3chn0Namagomi: We better not run into Ass Fagrico...
Jak Snide: *stalls his pace a little, so he falls next to Aerin* Who're you anyway?
Ryuugami: o.o;;;
der Archmage: ...it's not particularly nice to say things like that...
Ryuugami: IM: How childish... o_o;;;
dragonclawsedw: <.< You know I haven't seen Ash in a while...
Ryuugami: Oh!
T3chn0Namagomi: Maybe he died.
Ryuugami: o_O;; M-my name is Aerin...
T3chn0Namagomi: If he did, I'll throw a party for everyone.
Jak Snide: Right, and what is it that you do, Aerin.
der Archmage: .........
Jak Snide: IM: Just another eejit meat shield?
der Archmage: Kamos, I'm very sorry. -.-
Ryuugami: Err... >.>;; Erm...research...largely...and sometimes I receive training from...a bounty hunter...
Jak Snide: IM: And why won't that bloody bastard shut up? Who the hell insults a general in Doma castle?
dragonclawsedw: Jeeze Kamos, lay off Ash...
T3chn0Namagomi: You mean Ass?
dragonclawsedw: T: Can I ride Forte sis?
Jak Snide: Right. So, let's say an orc is about to rip your arms off. What do you do?
der Archmage: ...I'm sorry because you make me very disappointed in humanity.
dragonclawsedw: T: Sure, stay away from the black chocobo...ever since my friend rode it, he's been rather...uh yeah...
der Archmage: IM: ...or maybe it's just him.
dragonclawsedw: This way to the stables guys...
Jak Snide: (Black Chocobo?)
T3chn0Namagomi: ...Well, "Legendary Heroes" suck ass!
Jak Snide: IM: Sure, the guy who saved the fucking world is a git...riiiiiiight.
Ryuugami: o_O;;; Disappear and run like hell!
dragonclawsedw: (Yes, a black chocobo)
T3chn0Namagomi: (Heheh....)
dragonclawsedw: *they arrive at the stables, hey who's GMing this anyways? XP*
Jak Snide: ....can you actually fight, girl?
Jak Snide: Or do you just stand around and bleed?
Ryuugami: Y, yes.... >_>;; IM: doesn't mean I LIKE it...
dragonclawsedw: Okay, dibs on the green chocobo...
der Archmage: Of course she can, if she needs to!
dragonclawsedw: Y'all can use any other ones you want...
T3chn0Namagomi: I get the .
T3chn0Namagomi: I get the black one!!!
der Archmage: *puts an arm around Aerin* She's a resourceful person!
dragonclawsedw: I'd stay away from the black one though...
Jak Snide: How? Spells, swords, that thing at her side?
dragonclawsedw: Uh...he's in no condition to ride...
der Archmage: (Kamos really wants a period, apparently)
Ryuugami: o-o;;
Ryuugami: *mumble mumble*
T3chn0Namagomi: (Sorry. Bird was jumping on the keyboard)
T3chn0Namagomi: Why not?
dragonclawsedw: Black chocobo: *in the corner of his stall, cowering from the visitors* O____O Waaaaaark...
Jak Snide: Speak UP!
T3chn0Namagomi: *looks at the black chocobo*
Ryuugami: *mumble* spells...I'm still adjusting to *mumble* magic...and my crossbow... *grows MORE quiet at Jak's command*
dragonclawsedw: O______O *hides his face from Kamos with his wings*
Jak Snide: For the gods sake, girl, speak louder. e.e
T3chn0Namagomi: I am not getting the damn piss-yellow one
T3chn0Namagomi: ...Is there a gray chocobo?
der Archmage: Aerin, you can speak up, people want to hear what you have to say. ^_^
Jak Snide: ¬.¬ *glares at Kamos, and pulls his hat down a bit more*
dragonclawsedw: Kamos you're as picky as a pregnant woman!
Jak Snide: IM: I like my "piss yellow" hair, thank you.
der Archmage: IM: All these two do is grumble and complain...
Ryuugami: <//<;;; O_o;;; >.>;; v_v;;;
T3chn0Namagomi: Fine. I get the damn blue one.
Ryuugami: ...
Jak Snide: Look, Aerin, what do you normally do when you're in a fight? Hang back and fire bolts and spells?
der Archmage: IM: ...I think she's very upset.
der Archmage: IM: ...I wonder how I can cheer her up?
T3chn0Namagomi: *gets on the blue chocobo*
dragonclawsedw: *sighs and climbs onto Forte*
T3chn0Namagomi: ...
Ryuugami: It depends upon the situation...
Jak Snide: *nods once, moving towards a chocobo*
Ryuugami: *finds the nearest chocobo -- a plain yellow one -- and climbs up on it*
Jak Snide: IM: Right, maybe she's not totally green then.
Ryuugami: <.<;; >.>;; <.<;; -.-;; IM: Leave me ALONE... ._.
Jak Snide: *same as Aerin, isn't going for anything special*
Ryuugami: *glomps her chocobo gently and pats its head*
T3chn0Namagomi: Is there anything different about the different colored ones?
Jak Snide: Oi, girl, you finished?
T3chn0Namagomi: Besides the color?
dragonclawsedw: Umm...
der Archmage: *sits on a red chocobo and pats it gently on the head*
dragonclawsedw: I think some of them are more accustomed to traversing different terrain...
der Archmage: I think this one seems nice. ^_^
Ryuugami: <.<;;
Ryuugami: (Jak talking to Aerin?)
Jak Snide: (Yes.)
Ryuugami: *mumbles quietly and hides her face using the chocobo*
T3chn0Namagomi: ...Different terrain? Like what?
Ryuugami: >.>;;
Jak Snide: ¬.¬ Y'know, you could answer me.
T3chn0Namagomi: *is obviously not an expert in chocobology*
dragonclawsedw: Well Forte is really good going through forests...
der Archmage: IM: If only she weren't so shy. -.-
T3chn0Namagomi: ...
Jak Snide: *mutters* Fine...Oi, Ara! Let's get going!
dragonclawsedw: Right, let's go guys!
dragonclawsedw: =Go Forte!=
Jak Snide: *spurs his chocobo onwards*
T3chn0Namagomi: Uhh...I'm naming you...uhh....what should I name you...
T3chn0Namagomi: Ahh, forget it!
T3chn0Namagomi: Kyah!
T3chn0Namagomi: *ditto*
der Archmage: *pats the chocobo and pokes it to run*
Ryuugami: <.<;;;;;;;; v_v;;;;;;;;;;
Ryuugami: *follows the group at the back*
Ryuugami: *whispers to the chocobo* I'll call you Zephyr...
dragonclawsedw: ^_^ *hums* Da dum da da da dum da dum da duuum....
Jak Snide: e.e IM: Gods, shut her up....
der Archmage: *the group of chocobo riders tears across the landscape at a fairly good clip, as chocobos are very mobile animals, and can cover a large amount of ground in a relatively short amount of time*
der Archmage: *hums along merrily with Ara* ^_^
Jak Snide: IM: SHIT! Forgot supplies! >_<
T3chn0Namagomi: *hums something very different from what the others are...*
der Archmage: *whistles the FF chocobo theme*
T3chn0Namagomi: *Exit -> Running seems to play in the background for no reason whatsoever*
der Archmage: (*laughs*)
Jak Snide: ...... *wonders how he can blow up all the humming goons in one spell*
Ryuugami: *wishing she had the courage to make enough noise to hum*
T3chn0Namagomi: *tries singing to the tune that he's humming, but is HORRIBLY off-key*
der Archmage: *sticks a finger in his ear*
dragonclawsedw: *ears fold down*
der Archmage: *stops humming and pulls out his map, studying it*
Ryuugami: >.>;;
dragonclawsedw: IM: Ceiphied help me..
der Archmage: Mmm...looks like we...just keep going this way and pray nothing screws up!
Jak Snide: Ara, what do we need to doa t this temple anyway?
dragonclawsedw: O_o What could possibly screw up?
Ryuugami: o.o;;;
dragonclawsedw: Oh, I need some artifacts to neutralize the ones I brought along...
der Archmage: Well, I don't think anything will!
Ryuugami: *scratches her chocobo's neck and warks at it quietly*
der Archmage: Let's be optimists. ^_^
T3chn0Namagomi: *is still singing horribly*
der Archmage: So, what temple is this, anyway?
der Archmage: *reading the marks on the map*
Jak Snide: And these neutralisation artifacts are....
dragonclawsedw: Umm....
der Archmage: ...the goddess Shamayu?
T3chn0Namagomi: What's a Shamayu?
T3chn0Namagomi: *resumes singing*
der Archmage: I don't know. Ara, do you?
Ryuugami: o.o;;;
dragonclawsedw: The temple of...uh...yeah her!
der Archmage: ...what's she a goddess of?
dragonclawsedw: Umm...balance or something I think...
dragonclawsedw: She's the anti-Nimuku I think...
der Archmage: Oh! I know her! Balance and Order, in some forms.
Jak Snide: IM: Explains a fair bit.
der Archmage: ...she's supposed to love organization and detest entropy, among other things.
Jak Snide: Do you know exactely what we're looking for?
der Archmage: *looks to Ara for an answer*
T3chn0Namagomi: Lord Nikumu, help me....I'm going to pansyville
dragonclawsedw: The seeds of...umm...
dragonclawsedw: Seeds of Balance.
Jak Snide: ¬.¬ What was that, Kamos?
dragonclawsedw: >_> Umm....
T3chn0Namagomi: We're going to be going into pansyville
Jak Snide: IM: Another one of them?! And him?!
Ryuugami: IM: ...Shamayu...
dragonclawsedw: Kamos if you going in there swearing to Nimuku I'm pretty sure that she's going to blast the crap out of you...
Jak Snide: ¬.¬ If I don't.
T3chn0Namagomi: ....Well, it's not my fault that all those good gods are pansies!
Jak Snide: Look, worship drow gods and die, got it?
Ryuugami: *w* No...Shamayu is for balance and order, she wouldn't be prone to blasting people...without good reason...Nikumu, on the other hand...would blast him for fun...
Ryuugami: >.>;;
T3chn0Namagomi: Nikumu, Nikumu, Nikumu, Nikumu.
Jak Snide: IM: e.e I hate this Niku....gah!
Ryuugami: IM: ...worse than my little brother ever was... -_-
der Archmage: ...*sighs*
T3chn0Namagomi: ...
der Archmage: You two shouldn't fight. It's counterproductive to our mission.
der Archmage: And I think it makes her upset. *points to Aerin*
Ryuugami: o.O;;
Ryuugami: IM: DON'T POINT TO ME!
Ryuugami: >.>;;; I'm fine... *very quietly* really...
T3chn0Namagomi: How is it counterproductive? We still get money, and we still get to kill shit. What isn't counterproductive about that?
T3chn0Namagomi: *is
Jak Snide: e_e How long will it take us to get there at this rate?
der Archmage: *looks at map*
der Archmage: We'll get there...tomorrow. It might be good to stop sometime over the next hour or two and make camp. I'd suggest we go until dark, actually...
Jak Snide: Is there a village along the way?
T3chn0Namagomi: I doubt it.
der Archmage: *checks map*
der Archmage: A very small one. *nod*
Ryuugami: IM: I don't even know who these people are...
Jak Snide: Hmm...what's it called?
T3chn0Namagomi: Oh great. Hick Town incoming.
der Archmage: It's called Shamayumia. I assume it's probably a colony of worshippers.
T3chn0Namagomi: Ack! Even worse! Pansyville!
Jak Snide: Hmm. Think there will be priests there?
der Archmage: Probably.
Jak Snide: Potion making ones, specifically.
Jak Snide: Right, we should stop there then. I forgot to grab stuff at the castle.
Jak Snide: And Kamos, you can sleep in a tree outside the village, if you want.
T3chn0Namagomi: I'll buy supplies, and then sleep outside, yes.
Ryuugami: *past her supply pouch* IM: ...no potions, and no money...
T3chn0Namagomi: IM: If they don't try to convert me to pansyism, that is.
Ryuugami: >_>;; IM: Pansies, huh? They still make things he can't, that he wants to use... -_-;;
Jak Snide: (Fast forward, oh GM of time magic?)
dragonclawsedw: >.>;; *shakes head*
Jak Snide: IM: Great, I don't have to listen to him bitch while I try to sleep.
der Archmage: *the group finds themselves arriving on the outskirts of a fairly small, rural town, passing through a few farms on the way in*
T3chn0Namagomi: Look! It's Hick town!
der Archmage: *the town is much like any other small town in Doma, the houses of the people consisting of mostly wood and occasionally brick affairs*
T3chn0Namagomi: They have farms!
Ryuugami: IM: ...like Dad and Mom's farm...
T3chn0Namagomi: And inbred hicks, I'm guessing
Jak Snide: ¬.¬ What's wrong with farms, Kamos?
Ryuugami: o__o;;
der Archmage: ...do you not like food, Kamos?
Ryuugami: You know, we need farms to grow our food...
T3chn0Namagomi: I have my own idea of food.
T3chn0Namagomi: *pulls out a K-ration*
der Archmage: ...that's not food.
T3chn0Namagomi: Yes it is.
der Archmage: It's processed chemicals.
T3chn0Namagomi: It keeps me alive, damnit
der Archmage: How can you eat that? Wouldn't you rather have a nice steak or some fresh fruit?
der Archmage: Or bread? Or corn?
dragonclawsedw: That stuff's disgusting Kamos >_>;;
T3chn0Namagomi: Uhh....I'd rather have marshmallows!
Jak Snide: *speeds up, trying to get into town and away from Kamos*
Ryuugami: >.>;;
Ryuugami: Sugarcane is a crop...
Ryuugami: That farms raise...
T3chn0Namagomi: ....Is it raised by inbred hicks?
Ryuugami: ...
Ryuugami: *follows after Jak*
der Archmage: (Marshmallows are actually made, or used to be made, from a plant called a "marsh mallow.")
T3chn0Namagomi: (o.O)
der Archmage: (The corky stems were peeled and eaten.)
Ryuugami: (I did not know that. o.o And now I do.)
T3chn0Namagomi: (My head, Dia)
Jak Snide: *Rides into town* (If the GM allows so)
der Archmage: *of course*
dragonclawsedw: *also rides into town*
Jak Snide: *looks around for a place to tether/stable his mount*
der Archmage: *Jak is met by silence, as it's gotten dark, and no one seems to be out in the streets at the moment*
Jak Snide: Yo, does the map say anything about this town?
T3chn0Namagomi: *rides into town*
der Archmage: *there are a set of posts to tether horses or chocobos to outside a nearby, well lit building, presumably an inn of some sort*
dragonclawsedw: Hmm, think we should rest the night?
der Archmage: *up the road is stone building with rather elaborate architecture that is obviously some sort of place of worship*
Jak Snide: *rides over to it, dismounts as begins to tether the chocobo*
Jak Snide: That'd be the sensible thing to do...
dragonclawsedw: o_o Whoah, this place reminds me of that Varrock town we visited a while back...
Jak Snide: (And someone's been reading their latest copy of the GMing tips newsletter.)
dragonclawsedw: *tethers her chocobo*
T3chn0Namagomi: *looks for an item shop*
der Archmage: It is a bit like Varrock. *nods*
Ryuugami: *ties Zephyr up with the others, and looks around nervously*
Jak Snide: Varrock?
der Archmage: *after a bit of searching, Kamos comes across the village alchemist's, which is built as an addition to the church*
Jak Snide: IM: Shops will probably be closed about now...
T3chn0Namagomi: *facepalm* Damnit...it's a church
Jak Snide: Look, let's leave the Valth to wonder the streets, and get our rooms, okay?
Jak Snide: *to the others*
der Archmage: I haven't any problem with that...
der Archmage: *looks to Aerin and Ara*
dragonclawsedw: No prob with me...
Ryuugami: *eyeing the church*
dragonclawsedw: *looks to Karis*
T3chn0Namagomi: *goes straight to the alchemist, trying to ignore any preachers*
Ryuugami: IM: The...Valth...? Went that way...
dragonclawsedw: IM: He looks kinda young..
Ryuugami: IM: I think I'll...pass
Jak Snide: Right. *walks inside, presuming Aerin isn't going to answer*
Ryuugami: *looks at Karis and Ara* o.o >.> <.<
dragonclawsedw: *heads in after Jak*
Ryuugami: *follows after Ara slowly* >.>;;
Jak Snide: *looks around, then looks for the receptionist/innkeep*
der Archmage: *follows behind Aerin with a warm smile* ^_^
T3chn0Namagomi: *uhh...goes to teh alchemist as quickly as possible*
der Archmage: *Kamos finds himself, after opening the alchemist's shop door, in a very stereotypical alchemical laboratory*
T3chn0Namagomi: ...*looks around on the shelves for healing potions*
der Archmage: *bottles of multicolored fluid litter the shelves, odd scents waft into the Valthi's nostrils, and esoteric books and materials are scattered across the floors and desks*
Ryuugami: *looks around the inn, trying to assess the people there (particualrly their hostility), and listening in for any interesting conversations*
dragonclawsedw: IM: Nah, Taryn's more of my style...
der Archmage: *a very harmonic sounding voice echoes in Kamos's ears*
dragonclawsedw: ^_____^ Mrrrrrrrr.... *tail twitching*
der Archmage: Can I help you with something?
T3chn0Namagomi: Uhh...yes.
der Archmage: *Karis leans on Aerin and grins* ^_^
T3chn0Namagomi: I need healing potions.
Ryuugami: o__o;; o//o;;;
der Archmage: *meanwhile, Aerin notices that most of the people in the inn appear to be less than hostile, and a fair number of them are wearing what appear to be snow-white robes with an insignia on them*
Ryuugami: *mumble mutter freeze*
Jak Snide: *is still looking for the inn keep*
der Archmage: *the innkeep finds Jak!*
der Archmage: (The GM is trying to do two things at once!)
Ryuugami: (Innkeep gains one (1x) Jak Snide -- can be used as an item to cast one Nukebeam.)
Ryuugami: (we can wait for you to handle Kamos first, if you want)
Jak Snide: (The GM should squash the wondering party member member, and have him respawn at the temple.)
dragonclawsedw: (Aye, we be patient)
Jak Snide: Hey there, you got any rooms for rent?
der Archmage: *a man with roughly shoulder length blonde hair dressed in sky-blue robes with a yellow sash leans over the counter*
der Archmage: Healing potions?
Jak Snide: (*waits*)
der Archmage: Innkeep: Well...yeah, I think so. *looks at the ledger*
der Archmage: I: Yeah. How many rooms do you need?
der Archmage: What sort of healing potions?
dragonclawsedw: Four *nods*
T3chn0Namagomi: Uhh...potent ones.
dragonclawsedw: ...wait no...five ^_^;;
T3chn0Namagomi: Oh...an antidote or two?
Jak Snide: Four. Kamos is sleeping out of town.
Jak Snide: *smirks*
der Archmage: How potent? *the man's voice reminds Kamos of a chime or a bell rather than a human voice*
der Archmage: I: Absolutely...four rooms...nope, sorry...can't do that.
T3chn0Namagomi: Uhh....something that's strong enough to heal a nasty wound
der Archmage: *the innkeeper frowns and studies his ledger*
Ryuugami: o.o;;
Jak Snide: Right. How many rooms do you have?
der Archmage: I: Three. *nods*
Jak Snide: Right. I'll take one.
Jak Snide: I dunno how the others will sort themselves out.
Jak Snide: Now, how much is it a night?
Ryuugami: <<;;
dragonclawsedw: >.>;;;
der Archmage: I: 30 gil per room per night.
Jak Snide: (GM is using his powers to plot kinky sex with Aerin! Oh noerings!)
dragonclawsedw: (XD)
Jak Snide: Right. Ara, you're the one paying, right?
der Archmage: (Am not XP)
T3chn0Namagomi: (...Aerin's too young)
der Archmage: (Not for Karis XD)
Jak Snide: (How old is she?)
dragonclawsedw: IM: Hmm....NOOO!
T3chn0Namagomi: (16, methinks
dragonclawsedw: IM: I DON'T WANT TO BE STUCK IN THE SAME ROOM AS KAMOS!
dragonclawsedw: IM: Maybe he'll sleep outside...yeah that's right..
Jak Snide: (She'd be legal in the UK then.)
T3chn0Namagomi: (Dear god...that'll be hilarious.)
Jak Snide: (How old is Karis?)
Ryuugami: (there's two guys, and two girls. o_o the division is obvious )
Ryuugami: (and Aerin is 15, maybe 16 by now)
T3chn0Namagomi: (Three guys, if Kamos forgets.)
der Archmage: (Karis is 16.)
Ryuugami: (Jak has a room, though *takes OOC into the OOC chat*)
Jak Snide: (Ah.)
DarkEternal514 has entered the room.
DarkEternal514: *waves*
DarkEternal514: Hi!
Ryuugami: (o.o)
Jak Snide: (RP CHAT!)
Ryuugami: (tis the RP, ooc brackets)
DarkEternal514: (sorry. Right.)
DarkEternal514: (I just can't get used to that, can I? Or maybe I just don't hover enough.)
Jak Snide: Ara! Are you paying or what?
der Archmage: Well, I don't see how this is a problem...
der Archmage: Ara and Aerin can share a space, can't they? o.o
Ryuugami: (shoulda warned you on the invite)
Ryuugami: o.o;;
der Archmage: IM: ...seeing as how there's not going to be any suggestion other than that that'll be acceptable.
dragonclawsedw: Yeah! O_O; We can share a room right Aerin? *smile*
Ryuugami: *nods* >.>;; Of course.
dragonclawsedw: IM: I am NOT sleeping with Kamos...
dragonclawsedw: IM: Not after Arnast....UGH X.X;;
Jak Snide: ¬.¬ Oi...sister of the queen....bill paying time.
der Archmage: ...if Kamos decides to come back, he can stay in my room, if the mage doesn't want his company...
dragonclawsedw: Oh...right um...
Ryuugami: IM: Oh God...what if I'd been put in a room with...someone else? x_x;;;
Jak Snide: I don't.
der Archmage: IM: ...*inward sigh*
dragonclawsedw: *takes out her wallet and counts*
dragonclawsedw: Here ya go *nods*
der Archmage: *Ara pays the innkeep 90 gil*
der Archmage: I: Thanks much. *hands Jak, Ara, and Karis each a key*
Jak Snide: *takes his key, and walks off upstairs*
der Archmage: IM: He's so terribly antisocial. ._.
der Archmage: *the robed man nods at Kamos*
Jak Snide: IM: Peace and quiet...ah, at least it's a change.
Jak Snide: *looks about for his room*
der Archmage: *a small collection of bottles on the wall racks light up*
der Archmage: Will those do?
T3chn0Namagomi: Yeah. A couple.
der Archmage: *the figure nods* A tithe of 100 gil is requested for alchemical services...100 gil for eaach potion.
Ryuugami: *slips off to a corner of the inn to sit down on her own and listen into the local conversation, letting the voices and (relative) solitude calm her nerves* -_-
der Archmage: *each
T3chn0Namagomi: ....
T3chn0Namagomi: *pays up*
T3chn0Namagomi: And...what about antidotes?
T3chn0Namagomi: I may need one.
der Archmage: 80 gil.
T3chn0Namagomi: *pays that*
Jak Snide: *finds his room, ands goes inside and locks the door*
dragonclawsedw: T: Hey Aya, I'm about to go into a possibly dangerous temple, what should I bring?
dragonclawsedw: T: Get a soft.
dragonclawsedw: T: What's that do?
dragonclawsedw: T: Undoes petrification. Trust me you'll need it.
T3chn0Namagomi: Thanks...*jets out*
dragonclawsedw: Okaaaay... *heads out of the inn and goes for the alchemy shop*
der Archmage: *Ara and Kamos run into each other in the street*
der Archmage: *Karis takes a seat next to Aerin and grins sheepishly* ^^
T3chn0Namagomi: O.o
Jak Snide: *takes the time to shut the windows, lock them, and draw the curtains, and place a "Do Not Disturb" sign on the doorknob (if there is one)*
Ryuugami: o___o;; >->;; *mumbles a hello*
T3chn0Namagomi: *ran into Aya*
der Archmage: (There is. Jak does not want to be bothered. XD)
der Archmage: (Not literally running into.)
dragonclawsedw: *Ara*
T3chn0Namagomi: (Damnit...I'm messing up everywhere, damnit)
dragonclawsedw: ...eh...oh hey Kamos...>.>
Ryuugami: *Kamos has Aya on the brain :P*
der Archmage: (Dude, relax. o_o)
Ryuugami: (chill, Doug, it's okay. You're doing a fine job RPing)
T3chn0Namagomi: Uhh....hey.
Jak Snide: (Yeah. If you RP an asshole, all the other characters are going to hate you if you do a good job.)
SlyFox565 has entered the room.
der Archmage: ^_^ Hello!
T3chn0Namagomi: *gets on his chocobo, and rides out of town*
dragonclawsedw: Is there a potions shop around here?
der Archmage: *...and Kamos vacates the premises*
dragonclawsedw: ....riiight.
Ryuugami: <-<;;; Um... *digs for something to say*
dragonclawsedw: *shakes head and goes to the potions shop*
der Archmage: *Ara notes the alchemists*
T3chn0Namagomi: I hate this place....
dragonclawsedw: *walks on in* o.o Hello?
Jak Snide: *for all intents and purposes, is asleep*
der Archmage: *the echoing, tonal voice sounds* Hello?
der Archmage: *the alchemist gives Ara a smile*
dragonclawsedw: O_o IM: Whoah..
dragonclawsedw: ^_^ Hello, do you have any softs?
der Archmage: Of course. *the alchemist nods, and some bottles on the rack illuminate*
der Archmage: Lots of travelers passing through this sanctuary today...
dragonclawsedw: Oh, we're seeking some specia.....IM: Er, probably not a good idea to tell him...
dragonclawsedw: IM: I don't even know if they'll let me have them...what if neutralizing them destroys those seed things as well..
der Archmage: ...if you have come to seek, I am here to aid you in finding. *the alchemist smiles brightly*
dragonclawsedw: IM: I bet they want to keep them....
dragonclawsedw: We just wish to visit the nearby temple of Shamayu *nods*
der Archmage: It pleases me to see pilgrims of Order like yourself. *the alchemist himself seems to glow*
dragonclawsedw: ^_^;; Y-yes isn't it great? Go balance...um, how much for a soft?
der Archmage: We ask a tithe of 80 gil.
dragonclawsedw: That's good...um...do you have anything that'll restore magical energies?
dragonclawsedw: IM: Hmm..210 gil left...I shoulda brought more, oh well...
der Archmage: *more bottles illuminate* A tithe of 100 gil is requested. *the alchemist nods*
dragonclawsedw: I'll take one magic restore and one soft ^_^
der Archmage: *the alchemist points to what looks like an offering plate*
der Archmage: *Karis attempts to strike up a conversation with Aerin by first making eye contact*
DarkEternal514 has left the room.
Ryuugami: *which seems to be a VERY difficult thing to get from Aerin*
der Archmage: *Karis, somewhat flustered, sighs and leans back in his chair*
Ryuugami: >.> <.<;; >.>;;; *looks just about ANYwhere but at Karis's eyes*
Ryuugami: Are you okay? o.o;;;
der Archmage: ...yeah, I'm fine! *smile*
Ryuugami: ^_^;;; That's good...
der Archmage: ....and you're okay too, right? ^^;
Ryuugami: >.>;; You're always a cheerful person, so it's good that you're doing okay...oh...! Yes, I am. ^_^;;
der Archmage: Not nervous or anything, being out here in an unfamiliar place?
Ryuugami: <_<;; Errr...
Ryuugami: I'm used to strange places... >.>;;
der Archmage: ...ah, I see. o.o
Ryuugami: I mean, uh...
dragonclawsedw: o.o *puts the money on the plate*
Ryuugami: My hometown is...gone...so...
der Archmage: *the alchemist motions for Ara to take the potions, smiles faintly, and exits the room*
dragonclawsedw: *takes the potions* o.o
dragonclawsedw: *heads back to the inn*
der Archmage: *right then o_o*
dragonclawsedw: ^_^
dragonclawsedw: *heads to her/Aerin's room*
dragonclawsedw: IM: I hope there's two beds...
der Archmage: *there are, thankfully for the two of them*
der Archmage: *Karis, meanwhile, continues to strike out*
der Archmage: ...so, um...I guess it's getting late and all. Maybe you should get some sleep?
Ryuugami: >.>;;; Yeah...I guess...
der Archmage: OK. o.o Well, I'm going to bed. So...you do whatever seems like a good idea, yes?
Ryuugami: *nods*
Ryuugami: Good night, Karis. <_<;;
Ryuugami: ^_^;; Sleep well!
der Archmage: You too. *smiles and walks off to his room*
Ryuugami: >.>;;; *scoots off to her and Ara's room and sleep*
der Archmage: *the GM invokes the power of...TIME LAPSE!*
dragonclawsedw: *is flat out asleep on her bed* zzzz
der Archmage: *Kamos, having slept outside in the cold, doesn't feel very rested in the morning*
SlyFox565: (why not invoke the power of the cutscene?)
der Archmage: (...the GM is not that creative.)
Ryuugami: *sleeps fitfully*
der Archmage: *the sun rises, its rays creeping into the window of one Jak Snide, their radiance sneaking directly into his eyes...*
dragonclawsedw: *yawns, sitting up*
T3chn0Namagomi: -v-
T3chn0Namagomi: Stupid fucking climate
Ryuugami: e.e *raises with Ara, a jaw-cracking yawn escaping her mouth* >o< >< o.o;;;;
Jak Snide: *hisses, and rolls out of the bed onto the floor*
Jak Snide: *THUD*
Jak Snide: GAH! SONova...
der Archmage: *Jak hears a knock at the door*
Jak Snide: *mutters, scrambles to his feet*
Jak Snide: Who is it?!
Ryuugami: >.>;; Is it time to go now, miss Ara?
der Archmage: ...Karis. *blinks*
der Archmage: ...it's morning...
Jak Snide: e.e I noticed. One minute.
der Archmage: Sure.
Jak Snide: *gets dressed, complete with hat*
der Archmage: *walks next door to Ara and Aerin's and knocks similarily*
der Archmage: ^_^ Good morning!
dragonclawsedw: *sits up and ruffles her hair*
Ryuugami: o.o! <.<;; M, morning!
der Archmage: ...when do you two want to move out?
dragonclawsedw: o.o As soon as possible!
Ryuugami: *slept in her clothes, it being a habit of hers, and digs in a pocket, pulling out a comb*
dragonclawsedw: *takes out the Staff of Unrelenting Anger*
Ryuugami: >.>;; In a second...
dragonclawsedw: ...*shivers* Real soon....
T3chn0Namagomi: *gets up*
dragonclawsedw: *pulls out the crest too*
dragonclawsedw: Hey Aerin...?
Jak Snide: *walks out of his room, and turns to Karis* Hey, you know if there's a shop that sells potions in town?
Ryuugami: *busily works out the knots her hair acquired during her sleep and then shoves the comb away*
Ryuugami: Yeah?
Ryuugami: o.o;;
dragonclawsedw: Can you hold onto this for me? *hands her the crest*
der Archmage: ...I don't know, no.
Jak Snide: *mutters*
DarkEternal514 has entered the room.
Ryuugami: Sure...
Ryuugami: *takes the crest* o_o;;
der Archmage: Ask someone else, maybe they do...
Jak Snide: *nods* Right.
dragonclawsedw: Maybe Kamos can take the lense thing...
dragonclawsedw: *holds the lense away from her body as if it were a dead rodent*
T3chn0Namagomi: ...*walks groggily into town*
der Archmage: *leans on the wall and waits for the women*
Jak Snide: *walks up to the door of the girls' room* OI! Do either of you know if there's an alchemist in town?
Ryuugami: o__o;; I can carry that too, if you want me to, miss Ara...
Ryuugami: Or maybe Karis can--
Ryuugami: >.>;;;
Jak Snide: (Earning my negative charisma.)
Ryuugami: *lets Ara answer Jak*
Ryuugami: <.<;;
dragonclawsedw: Yes, there is, down the street!
Jak Snide: Whassit look like?
dragonclawsedw: Uh....o_o It was kinda dark last night, but you can probably find it..
Ryuugami: o.o;;;;
Ryuugami: ...near the temple, I think...
Jak Snide: Eh? Alright.
Ryuugami: IM: Kamos was near the temple...so that was probably what he was looking for...
Jak Snide: *walks off, out of the inn (dropping the key on the desk) and goes to look for the shop*(
Ryuugami: *slips out of the room and down into the inn's main room as soon as Jak leaves by the door*
T3chn0Namagomi: *groggily slumps over to where he tied his chocobo*
dragonclawsedw: Oh wait!
Jak Snide: Mornin' Kamos, you fuckin' bastard. *walks past*
dragonclawsedw: *dashes after Aerin*
Ryuugami: o.o;;;; *freezes*
der Archmage: *yawns and follows*
Ryuugami: Yes?
dragonclawsedw: Take this too *hands her a soft*
Ryuugami: Th, thanks... o_O;;
Ryuugami: *packs it away into a pouch at her side*
Jak Snide: *(presumes that he) finds his way to the alchemist*
T3chn0Namagomi: Whatever. At least I don't wear a hat that says I'm compensating for something
der Archmage: *gives Kamos a strange look*
der Archmage: ...IM: Yeah, that's what the guns are for...
Ryuugami: >>;;;
dragonclawsedw: *walks on out of the inn* IM: Should I give it to Kamos or Jak...
Ryuugami: *goes over to Zephyr and makes sure the inn took good care of him, brushing down his feathers with her hand*
Jak Snide: (*prods the GM* Me go shopping? o.o)
der Archmage: (...yeah sure o_o)
der Archmage: *the alchemist emerges at the sound of a new arrival*
der Archmage: *the man appears totally wide awake and alert, yet relaxed at the same time, despite it being early morning*
der Archmage: *he speaks, as he did to Ara and Kamos, in a very tonal, harmonic voice*
dragonclawsedw: IM: Hmm, Aya said Kamos uses dark magic sometime....
dragonclawsedw: Hey Kamos...
Jak Snide: (*proposes they skip the CI between the alchemist, and just buy the stuff, to speed things up*)
T3chn0Namagomi: Hmm?
T3chn0Namagomi: *one could hear the tiredness in his voice*
T3chn0Namagomi: *turns to Ara*
Jak Snide: Hey, I'll take two healing potions, and an elixer of magic resitance.
Jak Snide: IM: I wonder if that girl is still in business.
dragonclawsedw: *holds up the lense* Hold this for me.
T3chn0Namagomi: What does it do?
der Archmage: Absolutely. *the alchemist's voice rings, clear as a church bell*
der Archmage: A tithe of 300 gil would be greatly appreciated for our services.
dragonclawsedw: (Did Jak fall asleep?)
der Archmage: (He slept *nods*)
Jak Snide: (I'm here)
Jak Snide: *pays the man*
Jak Snide: (What strength are the potions? Moderate?)
der Archmage: *the alchemist smiles, a very solemn thing* Your patronage is appreciated.
T3chn0Namagomi: What does this lens thingy do?
der Archmage: (Fairly strong ones.)
dragonclawsedw: Uh...
Jak Snide: *nods once, and takes the potions*
dragonclawsedw: Well Aya says it amplifies magic...
Jak Snide: Right. Thanks. *walks out*
dragonclawsedw: But it has a pretty harsh magic feedback when you do
der Archmage: *frowns at Ara* I heard General Silvar talking about that thing...
T3chn0Namagomi: ...
der Archmage: I'd be careful with it.
dragonclawsedw: Yeah Aya got fried when she tried it out...
T3chn0Namagomi: Figures. I don't get anything useful
Ryuugami: (*would NOT have given it to KAMOS >_>;;*)
dragonclawsedw: Then don't use it...
dragonclawsedw: All the better...
Ryuugami: (*with nothing against the RPer :P*)
T3chn0Namagomi: Whatever, damnit...I just want to get this over with.
dragonclawsedw: Right, let's go...
Jak Snide: *walks back towards the group*
Jak Snide: We all set?
der Archmage: I'm ready whenever you all are. *nods*
dragonclawsedw: *looks to Aerin* You ready?
dragonclawsedw: Oh and don't use the crest *nods to Aeris*
Ryuugami: Yes...Okay... o.o;;
Ryuugami: *untethers and hops up on her chocobo*
Jak Snide: *likewise*
dragonclawsedw: *gets onto Forte*
dragonclawsedw: =Let's go Forte!=
Jak Snide: Karis, get a move on.
der Archmage: *nods and mounts his chocobo*
T3chn0Namagomi: *gets on the chocobo*
dragonclawsedw: *and they're off!*
Jak Snide: *spurs his mount into motion*
Jak Snide: Which way now, oh map holder?
der Archmage: *pats the chocobo on the head and motions him forward*
der Archmage: ...this way. *leads on southward*
Ryuugami: *follows, once again, at the rear of the group*
der Archmage: We're approaching the Forbidden Plains...shouldn't take long to get to the temple, as this town was built to be close by.
Ryuugami: o.o;
T3chn0Namagomi: Good.
Jak Snide: Is the temple on the plains?
Ryuugami: *fiddles with the crest she was given, wondering exactly what it is and what it does*
Ryuugami: >.>;;
T3chn0Namagomi: I don't care if it is or not.
dragonclawsedw: Why are the forbidden plains forbidden? o.o
der Archmage: *the entire group feels an overwhelming sense of...organization washing over them, and everything seems to fit together perfectly...*
der Archmage: *the rhythm of the running chocobos...everyone's breathing syncs...*
dragonclawsedw: IM: ....CREEPY.
T3chn0Namagomi: ...What the hell is this?
Jak Snide: <_< *mutters* Bloody hell....they're getting more manipulative these days....
Ryuugami: IM: There were wars on them...bloody wars...
Ryuugami: -.-
Ryuugami: IM: ...I didn't say that aloud...
dragonclawsedw: *continues onwards*
Ryuugami: There were wars on the plains, Miss Ara...very bloody wars...between dragons...Nekonians...and Domans...
Jak Snide: *is increasingly irriated by the order of everything, just as the constant ticking of a clock could drive a man insane(
dragonclawsedw: ...really? Why would dragons, nekonians, and Domans fight?
der Archmage: *after a few more minutes, an enormous building made of what appears to be a perfectly symmetrical crystalline structure that grew out of the ground itself, arranging into pointed ramparts, towers, and butresses*
Ryuugami: They all wanted the land, I believe...
Ryuugami: o__o
dragonclawsedw: O_O
dragonclawsedw: IM: Shiny.
T3chn0Namagomi: ...I say the damn dragons should have eaten the domans.
der Archmage: *appears on the horizon*
der Archmage: (*completes sentence fragment >.<*)
Ryuugami: ...
T3chn0Namagomi: .....Great. It's a large crystal....thingy
Jak Snide: Hmm. Fancy.
Ryuugami: *sighs* IM: Can't even appreciate architecture. -_-
der Archmage: *everyone's blinking has synched by now*
Jak Snide: Right. Ara, why did you need an escort again?
dragonclawsedw: To get here o.o Well and to deal with anything bad that might show up...
dragonclawsedw: *urges her chocobo onwards to the temple*
Jak Snide: *attempts to fight off the overwhelming feeling that he has to be in sync with everything else*
T3chn0Namagomi: You already brought something bad with you
der Archmage: *the chocobo speeds up...and the others speed up to match*
Jak Snide: ...
dragonclawsedw: <.< Oh so you guys are coming too?
der Archmage: *Jak is successful, since he's actually making a conscious effort*
Ryuugami: err...yeah...?
Ryuugami: If that's alright. >>;;
der Archmage: I am, if you don't mind.
dragonclawsedw: *doesn't really seem to be caring about the synchronization*
der Archmage: This place seems interesting.
dragonclawsedw: Not at all ^_^
T3chn0Namagomi: *attempts to go out of sync, into chaos and disorganization again, and go a little faster*
Jak Snide: IM: Bloody hell....even the "good" religions these days are forcing themselves on people.
der Archmage: *a voice echoes in the heads of the group*
der Archmage: V: Welcome...!
Jak Snide: IM: Er, hi.
dragonclawsedw: o.o Hello!
T3chn0Namagomi: IM: Nice greeting system. Big and gaudy
der Archmage: V: *the voice is very even toned, and devoid of any strong emotion* Please state your business.
Ryuugami: o_O;
Ryuugami: o_______o;;;
Jak Snide: *looks at Ara*
dragonclawsedw: I'm looking for the seeds of Balance!
der Archmage: V: Please approach and enter the temple. Your business will be further discussed there.
T3chn0Namagomi: ....
Jak Snide: ¬.¬ *wonders what Ara might look like to a passer by, seemingly talking to herself*
der Archmage: Might as well. o.o
dragonclawsedw: *hops off the chocobo and walks over to the temple*
dragonclawsedw: =Stay Forte=
T3chn0Namagomi: *attempts to ride the chocobo into the temple*
der Archmage: *the group has reached the front of the temple now, which appears to be a very impressive looking wall of diamondlike material up close*
Jak Snide: *makes sure he hops off in a differant manner to Ara, finding the spell over the area even more annoying than before*
der Archmage: *...Kamos slams into the door*
T3chn0Namagomi: (You didn't tell me about any damn door!)
dragonclawsedw: (XD)
Jak Snide: IM: At this rate I'm going to drink that bloody elixer just to save me the trouble of forcing myself out of sync.
dragonclawsedw: O_O Real shiny.
Jak Snide: ....
Ryuugami: *slips off her chocobo and whispers to it* ...stay with Forte... *and then follows Ara cautiously*
T3chn0Namagomi: ....
Jak Snide: IM: ...and it appears to have affected the mind of that chocobo*
Jak Snide: IM: Or maybe the Valth....
der Archmage: *hops off his own chocobo and follows after the others*
SlyFox565: (Forte?)
dragonclawsedw: *heads for the door and tries to open it*
der Archmage: *the DOOR is fairly easily opened after Ara gives it a sharp tug by the handle*
T3chn0Namagomi: -.-
Ryuugami: *helps Ara with the door*
T3chn0Namagomi: Figures. Relative of the queen does everything
Jak Snide: *walks inside, looking about and looking fairly irritated*
Ryuugami: ...
der Archmage: *a bright light seems to illuminate the inside of the temple*
dragonclawsedw: <V< Oh shut up Kamos.
dragonclawsedw: >.o *walks in*
der Archmage: *everything is perfectly spotless, immaculately clean, and insanely well organized*
T3chn0Namagomi: Well, have all those town criers executed, then
Jak Snide: *tilts his hat downwards, to shield his eyes*
T3chn0Namagomi: *rides the chocobo in*
Ryuugami: *walks in slowly, eyeing everything around the temple as she does so*
der Archmage: *for every statue on the right side of the hallway, a statue in the exact same location is on the left*
Jak Snide: ....
der Archmage: *even the dust in the room seems to be perfectly catalogued and sorted*
Ryuugami: *seems slightly unnerved*
Jak Snide: IM: What the fuck does he have up his arse? Bloody fanatical athiests...
der Archmage: *the chocobo walks into the temple, carrying Kamos with it*
der Archmage: *the room is eerily silent for a moment*
Jak Snide: Right. Ara, who do we talk to?
T3chn0Namagomi: ...what the hell are we supposed to do now?
Ryuugami: o.o;;;
dragonclawsedw: (XD Dust...)
der Archmage: *on the opposite wall is a perfectly symmetrial design, and to the left and right are passageways*
Jak Snide: ¬.¬ You could dismount, Kamos.
T3chn0Namagomi: We're inside a perfectionist's dream castle...
Ryuugami: IM: first he doesn't want to ride a "damn flightless bird," and now he rides it into a temple...
dragonclawsedw: Hey uh...Shamayu? Is that you?
T3chn0Namagomi: Hell no I am not dismounting.
der Archmage: It is kind of unwieldly to ride a chocobo into a building. o_O
Ryuugami: >.>;;
Jak Snide: Oh, what, is the ground not good enough for your feet? e_e
T3chn0Namagomi: No.
Jak Snide: Then what's the fucking problem?
dragonclawsedw: Hello?
T3chn0Namagomi: It's not good enough for my damn boots.
dragonclawsedw: *shouting out randomly*
der Archmage: *a brilliant light illuminates the room for a split second, and a faintly glowing man in crystalline armor materializes before Ara and the group*
dragonclawsedw: Where are the--- O_o Oh!
Ryuugami: o______o;;;;
Jak Snide: e_e *mutters* Figur...eh? O_o
dragonclawsedw: IM: Shiny man...
der Archmage: *his helmet is adorned with winglike protrusions, and his face is concealed*
Jak Snide: Hey there. You the priest around here?
der Archmage: M: I am a member of the Vanguard of Order.
Jak Snide: Temple guard, right. Where can we find the head man around here?
T3chn0Namagomi: Well, at least that helmet would make a good tip for a 30xv shell
der Archmage: *a pair of glowing orbs materialize behind the soldier, forming a perfect triangular formation*
dragonclawsedw: Hey are those the seeds?
der Archmage: M: No. *his, or perhaps her, voice is very monotonous, yet not unfriendly*
der Archmage: M: Do you seek the Seeds of Balance?
Ryuugami: o.o;;;; *stares at all the synchronization and symmetry, disturbed by it all*
Ryuugami: IM: Doma is NEVER this orderly... <_>;;;
dragonclawsedw: Yes I do.....
dragonclawsedw: *takes out the SoUA*
der Archmage: M: *the guard appears not to respond*
dragonclawsedw: I need them to destroy this.
Jak Snide: *looks at the staff, wondering what magic it holds*
T3chn0Namagomi: ...
der Archmage: M: I see.
dragonclawsedw: Kamos, bring me the lense...
Jak Snide: IM: The thing stinks of darkness...
T3chn0Namagomi: Why?
dragonclawsedw: And can you bring me the crest Aerin?
Jak Snide: What are those things? *to Ara*
dragonclawsedw: We're going to destroy them..
T3chn0Namagomi: Why destroy it?
dragonclawsedw: They're artifacts of Nikumu
T3chn0Namagomi: It could be sold for a lot of money.
der Archmage: M: *the guard stiffens for a moment*
Jak Snide: *scowls* Good. Blast the retched things to dust.
dragonclawsedw: What the hell are you talking about Kamos?!
Ryuugami: *scoots up toward Ara and hands her the crest quietly* <.<;;
dragonclawsedw: In the wrong hands these things can like...anihiliate cities!
der Archmage: *the symmetrial pattern on the wall glows faintly, then glows more strongly*
Jak Snide: *GLARES at Kamos* Let artifacts of a drow god exist?! I think NOT!
der Archmage: *Karis blinks and stays quiet*
T3chn0Namagomi: *DEATH GLARES back* Shut your mouth you racist bastard.
Ryuugami: *shrinks from all the yelling, retreating to hide near the quiet Karis*
der Archmage: M: Silence, mortals!
T3chn0Namagomi: At least I do-
Jak Snide: *twitches*
dragonclawsedw: O_o;;;
Ryuugami: (Aerin is way ahead of ya, guard man)
der Archmage: *gives Aerin a wry smile*
Jak Snide: IM: What does he know?!
der Archmage: K: *w* It'll be OK, I promise.
der Archmage: M: ...do not bicker in the hall of Her Greatness...
Ryuugami: >.>;;; *w* Hope so...
der Archmage: K: *takes Aerin's hand in an attempt to reassure her*
Ryuugami: IM: Bet he doesn't like disorderly yelling in the temple of or-- o//O;;
T3chn0Namagomi: *grumbles*
Jak Snide: IM: I'll bicker all I want.
dragonclawsedw: *coughs* Just give me the lense Kamos.
Jak Snide: ¬_¬ Aye.
T3chn0Namagomi: Fine, fine, damnit.
dragonclawsedw: *takes it*
T3chn0Namagomi: *throws it to Ara*
der Archmage: M: ...this issue is best discussed with Her Greatness personally.
dragonclawsedw: *or catches it*
der Archmage: M: Would you wish to speak with her about this dire matter?
dragonclawsedw: Yes we do.
der Archmage: *the insignia on the wall glows even brighter still...*
dragonclawsedw: IM: Hey this ain't that bad...
Ryuugami: >->;;;; *stands there watching the goings-on, not having anything to contribute*
Jak Snide: IM: What?! An audience with a goddess? ...nah, probably just the high priestess.
dragonclawsedw: *takes the artifacts in her arms*
T3chn0Namagomi: ...
der Archmage: *...and out of the wall steps an almost blindingly bright, angelic figure, that of a woman in flowing, cream colored robes tied with a silvery sash...her rather spartan yet still magnificent dress signifies her as one devoted to
der Archmage: all things organized and neat*
Ryuugami: o___o
Ryuugami: IM: ...I'm suddenly reminded of...Mom...
Ryuugami: -_-
T3chn0Namagomi: ...Obsessing quite about neatness, are we?
der Archmage: *a set of six snowy wings unfold from her back, each perfectly aligned with the other*
Jak Snide: *gives Kamos an elbow to the side, although not a particularly hard one*
dragonclawsedw: <.< Shush Kamos.
der Archmage: *the entire room's hearts beat in unison*
Jak Snide: IM: Bloody hell.... -_-*
dragonclawsedw: IM: I feel so odd o_O
T3chn0Namagomi: IM: This is freaky as hell...I'm going to go and down an assload of sake when I'm done
der Archmage: *the woman opens her eyes, revealing a shimmering kindness unexplainable in mere words, a sense of righteousness, fairness, justice, and friendship that touches the very souls of all present*
dragonclawsedw: ^_^ Hello!
Jak Snide: IM: That's no priestess. o_o *clearly a little awed by this*
Ryuugami: o.o ... *stops twitching and being nervous for once, and just stands there...albeit still quietly*
der Archmage: S: Greetings, children of Order.
T3chn0Namagomi: IM: What the hell IS THIS?!?!
T3chn0Namagomi: *clearly freaked out by all of this*
Jak Snide: *looks at Ara, waiting for her to speak*
der Archmage: *her inflection cannot be placed among any Gaeran accent, her tone is perfectly level and calm, and her voice has a very faint and even melodic rhythm to it, much like that of the alchemist in the town*
dragonclawsedw: o.o I have a request, can I use your Seeds of Balance to destroy these artifacts?
der Archmage: S: *is totally silent for a moment*
der Archmage: S: ...the Seeds of Balance are indeed a powerful extension of the forces of Order onto the material world...however...
Jak Snide: *can't help but feel that the situation is about to go rotten*
Jak Snide: IM: This has been way too easy...
der Archmage: S: They alone are not nearly enough to destroy such powerful and dastardly artifacts.
T3chn0Namagomi: IM: There's a catch
dragonclawsedw: What else is needed then?
T3chn0Namagomi: IM: Heh...time to sell them!
der Archmage: S: There are two other such artifacts of Order. A set, much like the one created by Nikumu, forged by my followers a millenia ago and given my blessing.
dragonclawsedw: o_o Please don't tell me those are lost...
der Archmage: S: They are not lost. Nothing is ever lost in the fabric of creation...
Ryuugami: o.o ...
T3chn0Namagomi: Naukuty's law, Ara. We have to look everywhere for them
Ryuugami: IM: ...just destroyed...
der Archmage: S: All things find their place, and they exist within that niche.
Jak Snide: IM: Hmm...the chance to hunt down and destroy drow artifacts, and request bonus pay!
der Archmage: S: This is the way of Order.
T3chn0Namagomi: ...Who are you?
T3chn0Namagomi: Or...what are you?
der Archmage: S: I am the goddess Shamayu. Who are you?
dragonclawsedw: IM: Yep, they're lost.
T3chn0Namagomi: No...really. Who are you?
der Archmage: S: I am the goddess Shamayu. *repeats, exactly the same as before*
Jak Snide: Kamos, you idiot, shut up.
T3chn0Namagomi: *jaw drops*
Ryuugami: o_o; *sweatdrops again, losing her extended calm*
dragonclawsedw: Do you mind if we leave these here?
dragonclawsedw: *indicates artifacts*
Ryuugami: >.>;;; *reclaims her hand and sticks them in her pockets, eyeing around the temple nervously* <-<;;
der Archmage: S: Yes.
der Archmage: *Karis looks somewhat miffed at being rejected thus*
Jak Snide: IM: Well...this is a first....
Ryuugami: *poor, poor Karis*
der Archmage: (=P)
T3chn0Namagomi: *stands there, jaw gaping, and in shock*
der Archmage: S: Such things upset the Order of this place devoted to Balance...
dragonclawsedw: IM: Crap...
dragonclawsedw: *sighs* Any hints to where we can find either of these artifacts?
T3chn0Namagomi: *stands there, in shock as his beliefs were shattered right then and there*
der Archmage: S: They exist in their current place within the matrix of Order.
Ryuugami: *looks increasingly more worried* >>;; <<;;; >>;;;;
dragonclawsedw: That's not a very helpful hint...>.<
Jak Snide: Look, can you tell us where they are? Presumably you these things destroyed, right?
der Archmage: (...presumably you these nani?)
Jak Snide: IM: Why do religions and their gods always have to be so fucking convoluted in their advice...
Jak Snide: (*you want)
der Archmage: S: I cannot intervene in these things...until the natural Order is destroyed.
Jak Snide: (Sorry, it's 4am.)
der Archmage: S: The forces of Hate and Love are in equilibrium now.
Jak Snide: So, what, we have to comb the world to find the other two?
der Archmage: *it occurs to Ara that Hakaril said he was studying to figure out where the other artifacts might be*
dragonclawsedw: *shakes head* Maybe Hakaril knows...
Jak Snide: *mutters* Some help the gods are these days....
der Archmage: S: The purpose of the gods is not to serve mortals.
dragonclawsedw: *gathers up her artifacts* Sorry guys, let's go...
SlyFox565: (you're lucky the gods don't totally flip out and kill you, like Fou Lu)
T3chn0Namagomi: *sits there, on his chocobo, jaw gaping*
der Archmage: S: ...do you intend to leave without what you came for?
Jak Snide: IM: Oh, no, we're not doing you a favour in any way, are we? e_e
Jak Snide: *looks at Ara, seeing as she's his "boss" at the moment*
dragonclawsedw: ...oh yeah! The seeds!
dragonclawsedw: Mind if we borrow them? We'll bring them back, don't worry ^_^
der Archmage: S: If you wish to acquire the tools of Order, you must first be tested. If you are indeed worthy to be a champion of Order, you shall have what you seek.
Jak Snide: ....
Ryuugami: o___o;;
Ryuugami: IM: oh boy...
Jak Snide: IM: WHY didn't I see this coming?!
T3chn0Namagomi: *gaping*
dragonclawsedw: o.o Uh, okay!
Ryuugami: IM: >.>;; My brother used to do that...
der Archmage: *the wall behind Shamayu slides down and vanishes...*
Jak Snide: <_< *looks at Kamos, and nudges him* Oi, snap out of it.
dragonclawsedw: Hey Jak *hands him the lense*
dragonclawsedw: YOU hold this.
Ryuugami: o.o;
Ryuugami: Would you like me to hold the other again...?
der Archmage: *revealing a large chamber containing a 30 foot tall golem made of what looks like quartz or diamond, just like the majority of everything else in the temple*
dragonclawsedw: Oh, yes please do-- WHOAH
Ryuugami: o_O;;;
Jak Snide: *looks at the lense, then drops it, taking a step back*
dragonclawsedw: 6.6;; Heeeey...Jak!
Jak Snide: *glares at Ara* I don't want to touch that thing!
der Archmage: *the lens crashes to the floor...but it doesn't break*
Ryuugami: *scootles over and scoops up the lens*
Jak Snide: Yeah...thanks kid....
Ryuugami: >>;; I can carry both...or Karis can carry one...
dragonclawsedw: Try not to use them at all...
Ryuugami: Okay. o_o;;;
der Archmage: *the golem remains motionless*
Jak Snide: ...anyway, what do you want us to do? *speaking to god*
Ryuugami: *scoots over to Karis, handing him the lens, and then back over to Ara, to receive the crest*
dragonclawsedw: *holds the staff steady*
T3chn0Namagomi has left the room.
Jak Snide: IM: That thing had power....I don't want to think what I may do with it....
SlyFox565 has left the room.
T3chn0Namagomi has entered the room.
T3chn0Namagomi: (Sorry)
Jak Snide: (Welcome back mate.)
T3chn0Namagomi: (What did I miss?)
der Archmage: (Nothing)
Ryuugami: (need an invite to the OOC chat?)
dragonclawsedw: So we have to beat that golem to be able to use the seeds?
T3chn0Namagomi: (Yes)
der Archmage: S: The solution is yours to find. Be a true champion of Order, and victory shall be yours.
der Archmage: S: *vanishes with the guards*
T3chn0Namagomi: Beat...THAT?
Jak Snide: No way. Golems that big normally have magic resitance, and I doubt you could dent that with a sword.
T3chn0Namagomi: That thing looks like not even artillery will make a dent in it!
dragonclawsedw: o.o I wonder if we can talk with it?
Jak Snide: *looks at the golem, trying to remember if he's heard about anything like this before*
der Archmage: *the golem remains still and motionless*
Ryuugami: ...
der Archmage: *Jak recalls a lot of basic information about golems...but nothing specific that might help him wiht this one*
der Archmage: *with
dragonclawsedw: *walks up to it*
Ryuugami: Fighting isn't very orderly...is it?
der Archmage: *the golem is still motionless...*
Jak Snide: The seeds may be implanted in it...maybe as a source of power.
dragonclawsedw: No, battles can get very chaotic, especially where I'm from...
der Archmage: *what looks something like a pearl necklace materializes before Ara*
Ryuugami: "Be a true champion of Order..." >.>;;
Ryuugami: o_o
Jak Snide: It'd have orders from it's master, so tampering with it might cause it to react.
Jak Snide: Eh?
T3chn0Namagomi: Champion of order?
Jak Snide: *blinks*
dragonclawsedw: o.o
Jak Snide: *shudders* IM: This place is giving me the creeps.
dragonclawsedw: Oooo.... *reaches out to take it*
der Archmage: *Ara takes the necklace, and as she holds it, she feels a strange warmth flowing through her body*
T3chn0Namagomi: What am I supposed to do here?
der Archmage: *her breathing, heart rate and metabolic processes fall into a very rhythmic pattern, and her normally chaotic and disorderly hair organizes itself*
Ryuugami: *watches Ara carefully*
dragonclawsedw: *blinks*
dragonclawsedw: *puts a hand on her head and feels around her hair*
Jak Snide: (Hmm....lemme see....wizard, mediator, holy knight, archer....and pissy mercenary. We have an FFT party.)
dragonclawsedw: O_O NO WAY!
Jak Snide: o_o IM: Alright...this is wierd....
dragonclawsedw: *puts on the necklace* ^_^
T3chn0Namagomi: (Ara isn't a holy knight)
dragonclawsedw: *looks up at the golem* Thank you. ^_^
Jak Snide: (She isn't?)
T3chn0Namagomi: (She doesn't wear actual armor)
dragonclawsedw: (Close enough)
Jak Snide: (Holy dragon, DK sword, etc etc...)
Jak Snide: (*takes the FFT discussion to the OOC room*)
der Archmage: *as Ara slips on the necklace...*
der Archmage: *a very faint presence in the back of her mind seems to indicate to her that doing anything disorderly would be most unwise*
dragonclawsedw: IM: .....I have a feeling that I shouldn't have done that....
der Archmage: *however, she feels considerably stronger*
Ryuugami: (Ara: *pounces Kamos and rips off his shirt*)
dragonclawsedw: *looks up at the golem* Do you talk?
der Archmage: *the golem is silent...*
der Archmage: *...and suddenly, its eyes come alight*
T3chn0Namagomi: This is not a good thing...
Ryuugami: o_O
der Archmage: *the golem's joints illuminate with the eyes, throwing off white light into the room*
dragonclawsedw: No wait...he won't attack us....
T3chn0Namagomi: -.-
der Archmage: *a flat voice echoes in the room* Find the pattern...fall into Order...do not strike when defense will serve...
dragonclawsedw: -.- *Stands there*
der Archmage: *the golem begins to move, the joints and eyes suddenly changing to glow red, and it raises its fist high into the air*
dragonclawsedw: O_O;;;
Ryuugami: o_O
der Archmage: (Init rolls, everyone!)
*OnlineHost*: Ryuugami rolled 2 6-sided dice: 2 1
*OnlineHost*: dragonclawsedw rolled 1 6-sided die: 4
*OnlineHost*: T3chn0Namagomi rolled 2 6-sided dice: 1 5
Ryuugami: (woo, 7, SUCKAGE)
dragonclawsedw: (wait, why'd I only roll 1...O.o; )
*OnlineHost*: dragonclawsedw rolled 2 6-sided dice: 5 2
T3chn0Namagomi: (12...decent)
T3chn0Namagomi: Pattern? What pattern?
*OnlineHost*: Jak Snide rolled 2 6-sided dice: 6 2
Jak Snide: (15)
dragonclawsedw: (14)
der Archmage: (Jak, Ara, Golem, Kamos, Karis, Aerin.)
dragonclawsedw: There probably is one, we just haven't seen it yet....
Jak Snide: *looks at the golem, and decided to get the hell away from it before doing anything else*
der Archmage: *Jak backs away from the golem*
Jak Snide: *Tries to figure out what this patern is, examining the golem, the room, and anything else which seems to stand out*
dragonclawsedw: O.o *gets a crazy idea*
der Archmage: *so far, nothing seems apparent to Jak*
Jak Snide: *mutters* Maybe we should stand in a patern or something....
Jak Snide: Hey Ara, how many beads on that knecklace?!
dragonclawsedw: Uh.... *counts*
der Archmage: *the golem doesn't appear to be moving...in fact, it appears to be waiting patiently for something*
Ryuugami: o_o
Ryuugami: *raises her fist high into the air, mimicking the golem*
Jak Snide: ....
der Archmage: *the golem does not respond*
der Archmage: ...well that was an interesting thought. o_o
Ryuugami: >.>;; *pulls her arm back, looking embarrassed as hell*
dragonclawsedw: (How many beads on the necklace?)
der Archmage: (12.)
dragonclawsedw: 12 beads.....
Jak Snide: Hnn. *looks for a patern on the golem's body*
Jak Snide: (His go is over, he's already done way too much methinks)
T3chn0Namagomi: (AFK to put dog out)
der Archmage: (The "go" system assumes that the enemies are actually reacting. The golem is frozen again.)
dragonclawsedw: *grins and places both hands to the floor* It's about balance right....?
Ryuugami: IM: Stupid, stupid, stupid...
Ryuugami: o__o
dragonclawsedw: *chants* VU VRAMIER!
der Archmage: *a stone golem of Ara's fashioning erupts from the floor, roughly 8 feet tall*
dragonclawsedw: 9.9;; Aw, it's not big enough....
der Archmage: Ara's golem: *stands, awaiting a simple command easily understood by a creation of limited intelligence*
dragonclawsedw: Golem...uh...stand there. o_o
der Archmage: *the golem obeys...*
der Archmage: ...*and the larger, diamondlike golem attempts to smash Ara*
dragonclawsedw: O_O AHHH!
Ryuugami: o_O;;;
Jak Snide: *mutters, immediately beginning to charge a spell, then stops himself*
Jak Snide: IM: It reacts to everything we do.
Jak Snide: IM: Wait...if we take action, so does it.
T3chn0Namagomi: IM: This is messed up. It attacks her for summoning something
Jak Snide: (*waits for the outcome of the attack*)
der Archmage: *Ara leaps out of the way of one incoming fist...and the other catches her in the back, sending her sprawling across the floor, her jaw cracking but not breaking*
der Archmage: (40 points of damage to Ara.)
Ryuugami: >_<;;
Ryuugami: Miss Ara!
T3chn0Namagomi: Ewwww.....
dragonclawsedw: >.<;;; ....ow....
Jak Snide: ...ouch. >.o
Jak Snide: Ara...try giving the necklace to it or something...maybe it'll give us the seeds in return.
dragonclawsedw: *picks herself up slowly* Urrgh...
Jak Snide: *backs off* After all...it said defence is the key or something...
der Archmage: *the lights on the golem become green*
Jak Snide: IM: Although how the fuck do you defend against an attack like that?
Jak Snide: o_O Eh?
T3chn0Namagomi: .....
Jak Snide: (What colour were the eyes before?)
der Archmage: (Red.)
dragonclawsedw: *pulls herself to her knees and rubs her face*
dragonclawsedw: Ugh, i think I'm bleeding
Ryuugami: >_<
Ryuugami: IM: I should have studied more magic...
der Archmage: Ara! Are you OK!?
der Archmage: ...that looked rather painful...
T3chn0Namagomi: I swear, that must have sucked...
Jak Snide: *looks around for something that looks out of order, besides the party*
dragonclawsedw: It was painful... *winces*
dragonclawsedw: Nothing broke fortunately....
der Archmage: (*that was delayed so badly it was probably out of character, I'd say treat it as though it were earlier >.<*)
dragonclawsedw: I think...
Jak Snide: IM: She summoned a golem from the floor of the temple....disrupting the order....if we fix something out of order....
Ryuugami: (kay, don't worry about it. o.o)
Jak Snide: (Indeed.)
der Archmage: *Jak notices something*
Ryuugami: IM: What exactly are we trying to DO here with the golem? Get around it? Put it out of order? Play pattycakes?
der Archmage: *the golem is projecting an astral signature...*
der Archmage: *...which has receded significantly*
Jak Snide: (What does Jak sense. He can't "see" the astral, but he can feel it)
Jak Snide: Hmm...*tries to concentrate harder, and "feel" the aura's type*
der Archmage: (He's feeling the fact that the creature's aura is very, very weak at the moment. Meaning, in his mind, that the creature is possibly vulnerable to magical attack.)
Jak Snide: ......hey...how many of you can cast magic?
Jak Snide: *looking for any weak points on the golem*
Ryuugami: I can... <_<;;
Jak Snide: Anything offensive?
Ryuugami: ...a little bit...
dragonclawsedw: I can *groan*
Ryuugami: Ara, you shouldn't! >_>;;
Jak Snide: It's aura's weak. If we all hit it at once with magical attacks, it may destroy it. Now hurry up!
Jak Snide: IM: At once...order...syncronisation....
Jak Snide: Karis! Can you cast magic as well?
der Archmage: Yes. *nods*
Ryuugami: *raises her hands slightly, a look of concentration on her face, not a word being uttered from her mouth*
Jak Snide: Wait! We need to hit it all at once...
T3chn0Namagomi: Oh, very cute. A simultaneity trick
der Archmage: *raises his hands as well, focusing and muttering softly*
Jak Snide: *cups his hands, and moves them backwards, turning his left side towards the golem*
Jak Snide: Kamos, Ara, get a spell ready.
Ryuugami: *with a little concentration, holds her simple spell in place, waiting for a signal from the others*
dragonclawsedw: R-right...
T3chn0Namagomi: Affirmative...
Jak Snide: *charges up a ball of organge energy in his hand*
dragonclawsedw: *mutters the incantation for chaotic disintegration*
der Archmage: *prepares a blast of high-powered water*
Jak Snide: *look at Kamos*
T3chn0Namagomi: *chanting* forces of death...destroy my opponent beyond the body...create a second death...beyond death!
T3chn0Namagomi: BLACK BOLT!!!
Jak Snide: Go!
Jak Snide: *lets a Meltdown spell fly at the same time as Kamos*
Ryuugami: *hurls an ice ball at the golem*
T3chn0Namagomi: *black lightning forms into Kamos's hands, and forms into a boltlike shape, which zooms at the golem*
der Archmage: *launches a high-pressure blast*
dragonclawsedw: CHAOTIC DISINTEGRATION!
Jak Snide: (*pokes Dia*)
Jak Snide: (Or not. *sees her spell*)
Jak Snide: IM: This better work...
der Archmage: *a massive blast of various types of energy slams against the golem, and huge chunks of crystalline material fly off at the touch from each spell, breaking off a number of pieces*
der Archmage: *the golem appears to have suffered significant damage...but is still standing*
Jak Snide: ....*watches the eyes, preparing to move if they turn red*
der Archmage: *the golem's lights become red, and Jak senses the magical aura is stronger*
Jak Snide: Shit.
T3chn0Namagomi: ...
T3chn0Namagomi: What the hell..
Jak Snide: MOVE! It's going to attack!
dragonclawsedw: O_o ...it's red flame green flame....
T3chn0Namagomi: (...damnit, Kamos looks like a moron again)
Jak Snide: *moves away from the golem as fast as he can without taking his eyes off it*
Jak Snide: (Uh, why's that Doug? O_o)
dragonclawsedw: Golem! Defend me!
T3chn0Namagomi: (Because everyone else notices something)
T3chn0Namagomi: *attempts to take cover, but due to his semi-clumsiness, ends up brushing by Ara's tail in the process*
Jak Snide: (Doug, Kamos probably could have sensed the weak aura if he'd checked)
der Archmage: *the golem stops noisly, darting over towards Jak with remarkable speed...*
Jak Snide: IM: Aaaw fu...
T3chn0Namagomi: (Figures. Everything's about the aura
T3chn0Namagomi: )
Jak Snide: (It's Brian. Next thing you know we'll be fighting G-cubes. *chuckles*)
der Archmage: *and a pair of man-sized fists slam into the mage, first sending him straight into the ground, and then snapping his lower body delicately, shattering the bones in his upper thighs and pelvis into about three dozen pieces*
dragonclawsedw: (OW)
dragonclawsedw: O.O JAK!
Ryuugami: >_<;;;
T3chn0Namagomi: Holy hell!
Ryuugami: *tries to get a view of the golem's eyes...*
Jak Snide: ...ow....*finding it difficult to speak*
T3chn0Namagomi: Hell no, I am not healing him.
Jak Snide: He...aling pl..ease....*cough*
der Archmage: *the golem's eyes and joints are glowing reddish*
T3chn0Namagomi: Stand your ground people!
Ryuugami: >_>;;;;
Jak Snide: (Damage report, or is he just crippled?)
T3chn0Namagomi: Defensive stance! It may continue attack!
der Archmage: (4/83 HP.)
T3chn0Namagomi: (OW.)
Ryuugami: >_<;;;
T3chn0Namagomi: *gets into such*
Jak Snide: IM: Stupid fucking divine tests....
T3chn0Namagomi: *prepares for another attack*
T3chn0Namagomi: *has noticed that it didn't attack while green, but did while red*
Jak Snide: (How well can Ja kmove?)
Ryuugami: *darts closer to Jak, hands held outward, trying to cast the only healing spell she knows on him before the golem can react to her*
dragonclawsedw: (Probably not...)
Jak Snide: (*Jak move)
T3chn0Namagomi: No, you moron!
T3chn0Namagomi: Stay there!
T3chn0Namagomi: It'll attack again!
Ryuugami: IM: And he's hurt, you cold-blooded...
der Archmage: *actually, Kamos...*
der Archmage: *it did attack while green*
der Archmage: *it turned red after attacking*
T3chn0Namagomi: (Oh.)
T3chn0Namagomi: (-v-)
Ryuugami: (tis how I interpretted it, too, and is what Aerin thought. No biggie.)
der Archmage: (Sorry.)
Jak Snide: IM: Maybe we should just go talk to Hakaril about this....
Jak Snide: A...ra....
Ryuugami: (tis kay. o_o)
der Archmage: *Jak feels a bit better...but not a hell of a lot better. Some of his internal injuries heal, and a few bones fuse together*
dragonclawsedw: Jak!
T3chn0Namagomi: Shit...
T3chn0Namagomi: ...not good.
Ryuugami: *mentally berating herself for having such weak magic* >_<
Jak Snide: ...I better...get danger p..ay for this.
Jak Snide: (How much healing?)
der Archmage: (He's up to 20/83.)
dragonclawsedw: e_e;; IM: If I wasn't already in a lot of pain I'd facevault
der Archmage: *Ara, being fairly good at sensing auras, notes that the golem's aura is projecting itself stronger now, unlike when the lights were green*
Jak Snide: *manages to grin slightly*
Ryuugami: o__o;;; *stares at Jak, trying to assess how effective her spell was*
dragonclawsedw: O_O Dude, whatever you do, don't attack it!
T3chn0Namagomi: ....Why...
T3chn0Namagomi: ...this is messed up
Jak Snide: *tries to get a feel of the golem's aura again*
T3chn0Namagomi: Wait...we need to find a pattern.
dragonclawsedw: Because it's aura's like shooting through the roof!
dragonclawsedw: >_> And it'll smash your face in.
dragonclawsedw: ....waaaaaaait....
dragonclawsedw: *lifts an eyebrow*
dragonclawsedw: Kamos! Shoot it!
T3chn0Namagomi: No.
Jak Snide: Aerin...po..tion. Belt.
dragonclawsedw: YES!
T3chn0Namagomi: No.
Jak Snide: IM: Good thing I purchased some...
dragonclawsedw: JUST SHOOT THE DAMN THING YOU MORON!
T3chn0Namagomi: No.
dragonclawsedw: (who's turn is it anyways?)
T3chn0Namagomi: If you want to hurt it so badly, kill it yourself.
der Archmage: (It really does NOT matter.)
Ryuugami: *grabs the potion from Jak's belt, and holds it, hesitating* o__o IM: Should I pour it...
T3chn0Namagomi: *waits*
Jak Snide: Potion...g...ood.
Ryuugami: Err...open your mouth? ^_^;;
Ryuugami: *pours the potion down Jak's throat carefully* >.>;;;;;;
Jak Snide: ....
Jak Snide: *does so*
dragonclawsedw: *Sighs and takes out her dragon king sword* Golem! Attack it! *rushes forwards, swinging her sword at the golem*
der Archmage: *the majority of Jak's wounds seal up, but the soreness does not go away*
der Archmage: *the golem rushes the...golem...and Ara herself leaps into the fray...*
Ryuugami: *moves quickly AWAY frmo the golem and other current combatants*
Jak Snide: (Can Jak move, and what's his HP at?)
der Archmage: (One sec)
Jak Snide: (Okay. But if you had real dice, this'd all be alot faster. *smirks*)
der Archmage: *Ara's blade strikes the golem, cleaving a good chunk out of its leg, and her pet golem strikes the creature's other leg, cracking it*
der Archmage: (NO IT WOULD NOT ><)
dragonclawsedw: (XD)
der Archmage: *the golem stretches and shifts, raising a massive fist...and crushing Ara's golem in a single stroke*
dragonclawsedw: O_O;; Eep.
der Archmage: (Jak is up to 67 HP. But he's still unable to move.)
Jak Snide: IM: Gah...I need to get away...blasted, weak body....
dragonclawsedw: HEY! >_> That's not fair, that golems stronger...IT'S NOT BALANCED!
Ryuugami: *shakes her head* IM: I can't DO anything here...my arrows won't do anything...my magic is too weak...
Jak Snide: (Question: Would Aya feel if she was disrupting the balance due to the necklace?)
der Archmage: *the pieces of crystal chopped off of the golem are melting and clearing themselves away*
der Archmage: (At the moment, Ara doesn't feel like she's disrupting anything. She'd know if she were.)
der Archmage: *the golem's lights change to green again*
T3chn0Namagomi: o.o
der Archmage: *and its aura recedes*
T3chn0Namagomi: Offensive! Now!
Jak Snide: (Question: Would Jak's mind shield spell act as a pain killer? And if so, would he be able to move if he cast it?)
dragonclawsedw: No!
der Archmage: (It could--he couldn't.)
Ryuugami: >.>;;; <.<;;; <.>;;;;
der Archmage: (It's not just pain.)
dragonclawsedw: When the eyes glow green you hit it with magic! When they're red you don't hit it with magic, you attack it with something else!
T3chn0Namagomi: Everyone! On offense!
Ryuugami: Either way it's going to hit us...
Ryuugami: ...magic attacks, physical attacks, magic, physical...there's your pattern...
dragonclawsedw: <.< Try not to let it hit you *looks at shattered pieces of golem*
dragonclawsedw: *then to Jak*
Ryuugami: >_>;;
dragonclawsedw: Yeeeaa...um, don't let it hit you....
T3chn0Namagomi: *chanting*Energy beyond eternity, beyond comprehension...strike forth and kill all who offend! Githu!
Jak Snide: Hit it's arms! *coughs*
Ryuugami: *forms a rough ball of ice rapidly, holding it in place and hurling it at the Golem's arm when Kamos unleashes his spell*
T3chn0Namagomi: *well, fires a large energy bolt at the golem*
der Archmage: *the Githu blast strikes the golem, cleaving off a large chunk of its torso*
Jak Snide: The arms! Then it can't hit back!
der Archmage: *and the ice ball adds a bit more damage to the mix*
Jak Snide: *finding it easier to speak now*
der Archmage: *...and the golem marches over to Kamos...*
dragonclawsedw: KAMOS LOOK OUT!
T3chn0Namagomi: Try me, bitch-off!!
T3chn0Namagomi: *attempts evasive action*
Jak Snide: (...who wouldn't try to dodge the golem, anyway? O_o)
dragonclawsedw: (Ara: KAMOS STAND THERE AND TAKE IT LIKE A MAN!
Jak Snide: (XD)
der Archmage: *Kamos leaps out of the way of a fist, dodging the golem's forceful and powerful blow...*
T3chn0Namagomi: *doesn't land the best, rolls and gets back up*
der Archmage: *and a second fist slams down, colliding with Kamos' face*
T3chn0Namagomi: Damn...what the hell is that thi-
Ryuugami: >_<;;
T3chn0Namagomi: (You just had to do that, didn't you?)
dragonclawsedw: .....ouch.
Ryuugami: IM: I'm next...everyone has been hit but me...And Karis...
der Archmage: *the mercenary is sharply cut off as his nose is completely and totally broken, among oher things*
der Archmage: ...O_O
der Archmage: KAMOS!!!
der Archmage: (46 points of damage.)
T3chn0Namagomi: (Am I still able to move?)
Jak Snide: (At least you didn't slammed into the ground)
der Archmage: (Yes. But it hurts like FUCK.)
T3chn0Namagomi: ......sh.....it....
Ryuugami: *feels sick to her stomach and crouches down*
dragonclawsedw: IM: It's attacking everyone at least once...maybe I can prevent the others from being hit....
der Archmage: *the golem freezes, glowing red*
der Archmage: ...Kamos...
der Archmage: IM: As much as I dislike him...that's really...really bad...
der Archmage: IM: I wish I could do something more to help ><!
T3chn0Namagomi: *attempts to reach for a potion*
der Archmage: *Kamos manages to pull a potion out of his items*
Ryuugami: ...now that it's red, physical attacks would hit better... >.>;;
Ryuugami: *looks to Ara*
Ryuugami: ...
T3chn0Namagomi: *attempts to down the potion*
dragonclawsedw: *looks to the others* IM: Gotta help them....
der Archmage: *Kamos successfully drinks the potion, but his nose is still...rather broken.*
dragonclawsedw: Vu Vramier!
Ryuugami: *concentrates hard, trying to will the magic that makes herself disappear from sight* (*will leave success up to teh GM, since its success of mildly sporadic for Aerin*)
der Archmage: *however, he does stop bleeding profusely and feels a bit less...pained*
Jak Snide: *tries to concentrate and cast a mind shield spell, hoping to dull the pain more*
der Archmage: *Jak feels the pain recede as he does so*
der Archmage: *...and Ara summons a golem*
T3chn0Namagomi: Damnit! I thought these things were supposed to be potent!
Jak Snide: Ah...better...gah...
der Archmage: *the massive golem turns to look at Ara's golem as though deeply offended*
Jak Snide: IM: Still sore as hell...
der Archmage: *...and the golem promptly glows yellow*
T3chn0Namagomi: IM: maybe we're not supposed to kill it directl-
dragonclawsedw: Golem! Defend those two! *points at Karis...* hey where'd Aerin go?
Ryuugami: o_o;;
T3chn0Namagomi: o.o
Jak Snide: What the...?
der Archmage: *Aerin is indeed invisible*
der Archmage: ...that's new.
dragonclawsedw: o_O It's glowing...yellow?
Ryuugami: *scoots away from her former position*
Ryuugami: >_>
der Archmage: ...so, how do we respond to this?
dragonclawsedw: o_o I have no idea....
T3chn0Namagomi: IM: Maybe if.....
dragonclawsedw: *scans it astrally*
der Archmage: *Kamos notes that the golem is obviously straining...and that it's aura is very potent at the moment, but that it's structural integrity seems to be maintained*
der Archmage: *and Ara notes the same*
T3chn0Namagomi: *looks for something that could be potentially be brought down on the golem*
dragonclawsedw: Erk....
dragonclawsedw: Neither advantage?! Oh crap!
Jak Snide: (Does Jak note this as well, or is the spell he cast and/or his condition preventing this?)
der Archmage: (He's not seeing it.)
T3chn0Namagomi: *attempts to down another potion*
der Archmage: *something in the back of Ara's brain whispers "keep balance...keep balance..."*
der Archmage: (Kamos is now at full health, and his nose heals up.)
Jak Snide: IM: What the hell is going on....
dragonclawsedw: IM: Well at least it's not the staff speaking this time...
der Archmage: "Hold your ground...stay steady..."
T3chn0Namagomi: *looks for anything that could be brought down on the golem to crush/harm it*
dragonclawsedw: Uh ...uh...don't do anything! O_O
T3chn0Namagomi: (Given my luck tonight, there won't be anything)
der Archmage: *nothing like that is in the room, seeing as how it's an almost immaculate, organized space*
dragonclawsedw: Don't attack it!
T3chn0Namagomi: (I knew it)
dragonclawsedw: IM: We have no advantage, why attack it anyways?
der Archmage: "Do not attack when defense will serve..."
Ryuugami: o_O;;
der Archmage: *the room is eerily silent, except for the whispering in Ara's head*
dragonclawsedw: IM: Why do they always pick my head?!
Jak Snide: IM: Why do I always end up being taken out of the big battles? e.e This is undignified....
der Archmage: *the yellow light on the golem begins to fade...*
Ryuugami: >_>
dragonclawsedw: o.o
der Archmage: *and the construct's head promptly rolls off its shoulders and slams to the ground*
T3chn0Namagomi: .....
T3chn0Namagomi: Figures.
dragonclawsedw: o___o
T3chn0Namagomi: It has to happen AFTER it hits me.
dragonclawsedw: ....did we win?
der Archmage: *the rest of the golem rapidly breaks down into smaller pieces, disintegrating into fine dust, which is promptly blown away by a sweeping yet mild gust of wind*
der Archmage: The Seeds of Balance are yours. *Ara's pearl-like necklace glows*
Ryuugami: o__O;;
der Archmage: ...Aerin? o_o *looks around*
dragonclawsedw: WE DID IT! WOOO!
Ryuugami: *relaxes her control over the spell...in as much as she can* >.>;; Y,yes?
Jak Snide: *coughs* Oi....can someone fetch a fucking priest....I think I'm broken...*sounds irritated rather than angry*
dragonclawsedw: o.o Jak!
Jak Snide: IM: Yes, you did it. Too bad I got crushed....
der Archmage: ...that...wow. We did it.
dragonclawsedw: *runs over to him* Hold on a second...
Ryuugami: There should be priests here... *looks around for the man from before, or anyone else*
der Archmage: And the answer, in the end, was NOT to fight. o_o
der Archmage: ...*the hall is silent*
T3chn0Namagomi: Blah.
T3chn0Namagomi: Pacifism sucks ass
dragonclawsedw: *casts dragon recovery on Jak*
der Archmage: *Jak is fully healed...but his back is somewhat sore*
der Archmage: *he can walk with assistance*
Jak Snide: Yeah...I say we should have blown the damn thing's arms off...and can someone help me up?
dragonclawsedw: *offers her hand*
Jak Snide: *takes it*
Ryuugami: *eventually loses control of her spell, if it didn't drop before, and starts searching more actively for anyone in the hall*
dragonclawsedw: *pulls Jak up*
dragonclawsedw: You took a real nasty hit there....
Jak Snide: No shit...you got lucky compared to me.
Jak Snide: *smirks* And I still want danger pay.
T3chn0Namagomi: Hey. Next time we do one of these test things, I'm not going to do anything unless I can blast something down onto the other guy.
der Archmage: *spots Aerin*
der Archmage: Hey! ^_^ *wave*
T3chn0Namagomi: -.-
der Archmage: ...so, uh...
der Archmage: ....can we all go home now o_O?
dragonclawsedw: You'll get double for taking that one, thank you Jak
Ryuugami: *waves back timidly* ^_^;;
dragonclawsedw: For now, we have the seeds....
T3chn0Namagomi: -v-
T3chn0Namagomi: What about me, damnit.
T3chn0Namagomi: It whapped me right in the face.
Jak Snide: *grins* Suddenly being broken like a dropped plate seems worth it...
dragonclawsedw: You get double to Kamos, 2000 GP
Ryuugami: >_>;;;
dragonclawsedw: IM: I hope sis doesn' mind if I borrow the money from the treasury...
T3chn0Namagomi: Good...
Jak Snide: IM: And there are no medial tithes to pay at temples. Yet. e_e
Ryuugami: IM: greedy little... -_-;;
dragonclawsedw: Let's get going *nods*
Ryuugami: ...Yeah...
der Archmage: *nods, almost in unison*
Ryuugami: *sticks close to Karis and follows the group as they move out*
Jak Snide: I...
dragonclawsedw: >.> Hmm?
der Archmage: *smiles happily*
Jak Snide: (Does Jak think he can ride a chocobo?)
T3chn0Namagomi: *walks out, looking quite pissed*
der Archmage: (Yesh. He can basically just lean on the bird.)
dragonclawsedw: *looks at her golem, which is made of the same stuff the temple is out of*
Jak Snide: ..never mind, I'm fine. Just help me to my chocobo.
dragonclawsedw: No problem Jak *helps Jak stand and walk*
der Archmage: *the golem stares blankly*
Jak Snide: (Brian, I take it I can level myself up once we're done for the night?)
Jak Snide: (Or should I wait till the end of the RP?)
der Archmage: (Wait till tomorrow.)
der Archmage: (OH wait)
der Archmage: (I don't have to update it. Feel free.)
Jak Snide: *stands up, with aid*
Jak Snide: (*chuckles*)
der Archmage: *helps Jak as well*
der Archmage: You''ll be OK.
Jak Snide: Thanks...
der Archmage: I think so, anyway.
Ryuugami: *stands back a little, hovering around the others nervously* >.>;;;
Ryuugami: IM: My spell should have helped him more... ._.;;
der Archmage: *steps back from Jak and leans on his chocobo, patting it gently*
der Archmage: *smiles warmly at Aerin, just because Karis is like that*
dragonclawsedw: *climbs onto Forte*
dragonclawsedw: *looks at her golem*
dragonclawsedw: I hope it can keep up...
Jak Snide: *manages to get himself up onto his mount, and leans forward onto it*
Jak Snide: So...what now? Back to Doma?
dragonclawsedw: IM: ooooh, I can get a load of that prpetty crystaly material
dragonclawsedw: Yep, back to Doma...I need to talk to Hak...and pay you guys...
Jak Snide: Is there an opening for another job after this?
Ryuugami: o.o
Jak Snide: IM: If that drow is dead, then I can at least destroy what he inteded to use....
Jak Snide: IM: And more pay is always good.
dragonclawsedw: Um..possibly Jak
T3chn0Namagomi: ...figures.
T3chn0Namagomi: I get smashed in the face by a damn golem
dragonclawsedw: Hakaril will know where the other two artifacts are...hopefully...
Jak Snide: *nods*
Ryuugami: -_-
dragonclawsedw: =Take us back to Doma Forte=
Jak Snide: ...Kamos, for once, shut up. Ara was slammed into a wall, and I got broken, full body style.
Ryuugami: If you need my help again, miss Ara... >.>;;
T3chn0Namagomi: There better not be any more "divine tests"
T3chn0Namagomi: You shut up, mage.
dragonclawsedw: <.< Hmm? You'd help me too?
Ryuugami: *w* There they go fighting again... ._.
Ryuugami: Y, yeah... >_>;;
Ryuugami: The castle supports me without questioning...I...
T3chn0Namagomi: At least I'm not a damn racist bastard.
Ryuugami: I should be doing something... <_<;;
Jak Snide: The world doe...ah, fuck it. *kicks his mount into action*
Jak Snide: *twitches once as he rides off*
dragonclawsedw: Eh, Aya's just nice like that
der Archmage: Yeah, I stayed there for a while...
Jak Snide: IM: Stupid, narcicistic, drow loving sonova....
der Archmage: ...General Silvar insisted on teaching me magic. o_O
Ryuugami: o.o;;;
Ryuugami: I need to learn more magic...
dragonclawsedw: Hakaril could probably help..
Ryuugami: *shudders at the thought of asking someone to teach her*
dragonclawsedw: I'd help but I'm not such a good teacher....
T3chn0Namagomi: IM: Stupid deformed heartless racist.
Ryuugami: >_>;; Th, that's okay... ^_^;;
dragonclawsedw: Hey I never needed my soft....
der Archmage: I guess sometimes we don't need everything we prepare for?
dragonclawsedw: T: Aya! You made me waste my money on a soft! >.<
dragonclawsedw: I guess not *riding*
der Archmage: *nods and rides off into the sunset!*
T3chn0Namagomi: ...
Jak Snide: (Is this RP set to continue for more? o.o)
der Archmage: (*is shot for cliché*)
der Archmage: (I had nothing planned. Shows you what a crappy GM I am! :D!)
Jak Snide: (*Keris burts into flames as he rides into the sun*)
Jak Snide: (Bah. I enjoyed the RP. XP)
T3chn0Namagomi: *rides off away from the sunset*
T3chn0Namagomi: (I just didn't enjoy the lack of ENV weapons)
Jak Snide: (And it'd be cool if we could fast forward back to Doma and discuss "the plan!")
Ryuugami: (I loved the RP, bah to environmental weapons. >_>)
Ryuugami: (they shouldn't be put into an RP where they don't fit in)
der Archmage: *FAST FORWARD! :D!*
Jak Snide: (The only battle took place where the enviroment couldn't really be used.)
dragonclawsedw: *OHYES!*
Jak Snide: *back in Doma, a bit later, and feeling better*
Jak Snide: IM: ....why....why must I work with this eejit scum of a Valth?!
T3chn0Namagomi: IM: Why do I have to deal with this biased pyromaniacal mageling?
Ryuugami: ._. IM: Why...why must those two fight so much?
Jak Snide: (Jak and Kamos, the comic duo! Or at least the cursing, bitching duo)
Jak Snide: (Gah! Aerin's getting in on our act!)
dragonclawsedw: IM: I like corn. o_o
Jak Snide: (Where are we now? Doma castle?)
der Archmage: (Sure.)
der Archmage: (...I'm seriously done GMing, I'm outta juice)
dragonclawsedw: Okay follow me guys...*offers her hand to Jak again* We'll get you to the white mages...
Ryuugami: (okies...)
Jak Snide: *doesn't take her hand this time* S'alright, I'm fine now.
dragonclawsedw: Okay *takes the necklace off*
Jak Snide: *winces slightly as he hops down, but the journy has given him time to recover*
Ryuugami: <exheunt Aerin, who lurks off somewhere in the castle, probably the library>
Jak Snide: Right...now, payment time, right?
T3chn0Namagomi: Money. Now.
dragonclawsedw: Right... IM: Oh poop, they still haved the other two artifacts...
Jak Snide: *doesn't have any artifacts*
Jak Snide: So, to the treasury? Or does the castle have a reward collection desk or something?
Ryuugami: <*has the crest, and forgot about it! :D!*>
dragonclawsedw: The treasury.
dragonclawsedw: Follow me... IM: Three doors down...
Jak Snide: *does so*
Jak Snide: IM: Been a while since I've been in the castle...
T3chn0Namagomi: *follows*
T3chn0Namagomi: IM: I have bigger issues, really.....
dragonclawsedw: Here we go... *stops in front of a vault*
Jak Snide: *grins*
Jak Snide: IM: Finally...compensation for my time, effort, and most importantly, pain and breakage.
T3chn0Namagomi: IM: I better get what she said
dragonclawsedw: Let's see...ah... *opens the vault after poking it in several places*
Jak Snide: IM: Complicated.
dragonclawsedw: *opens it up and takes out a few stacks of gil*
dragonclawsedw: Here you go boys...
dragonclawsedw: *slides the gil into their hands*
T3chn0Namagomi: *takes the gil*
T3chn0Namagomi: 's what I came for. I'm leaving now.
T3chn0Namagomi: And don't forget to execute those damn town criers.
Jak Snide: *takes the gil and nods* Thanks. When you decide to do something about those artifacts, contact me.
dragonclawsedw: I will Jak...
dragonclawsedw: *sweatdrops at Kamos*
dragonclawsedw: IM: Weirdo...
Jak Snide: IM: I'll see those things destroyed...
Jak Snide: *w2Ara*And instead of executing those town criers, can you just get him exiled or something? It'd make Doma a better place.
dragonclawsedw: *w* What is this all about with the town criers?
Jak Snide: *w*No idea, but all those Valth bastards are crazy.
dragonclawsedw: o_o;; Right..
Jak Snide: Right, I best be off. I've been away for a few days now...
Jak Snide: IM: >.> Kotoki's going to want an explenation....
Jak Snide: *nods to Ara, then walks off*
dragonclawsedw: (TEH END!)
Jak Snide: (YAY!)
Jak Snide: </Jak?
