You have just entered room "The Elements of Balance."
Jak Snide has entered the room.
EbilRyuuzoku has entered the room.
XStrike8 has entered the room.
Daien01 has entered the room.
EbilRyuuzoku: o.o Rawr!
XStrike8: Hmm... most interesting.
Daien01: Correct.
Jak Snide: *is here, and in colour*
EbilRyuuzoku: I'm a dwagon!
GM Archmage: Alright.
XStrike8: How intriguing. I like dragons with a little bit of salsa, myself. ^_^
GM Archmage: Everybody think they're ready?
XStrike8: Yeah. I also think I should RP more, but eh.
EbilRyuuzoku: On sec, I wanna get a drink.
Daien01: I am. o.o
Jak Snide: Hell yeah. Coke rationed, stomach full, sanity going out the window by the second...
GM Archmage: OK. I think I shall throw the rest of this away while you do that.
Daien01: And I have coffee and coke. So I have caffeine for today.
Jak Snide: Oh, and suitable music on. Yup ready.
Daien01: ... Oh, Diet Coke, mind you.
Daien01: XP j/k
Jak Snide: ...*has Diet Coke as well* O_o
XStrike8: *plays Legend Of Mana while he waits*
GM Archmage: Ew.
Jak Snide: >.> *stares longingly at IWD2*
GM Archmage: OK.
Daien01: ... DIET COKE.
Daien01: Alex knows the power of DIET COKE!
GM Archmage: *drinks Energy Sobe*
Jak Snide: Actually, it's all we have.
Daien01: ... *casts Turn Everyone by invoking the name of Diet Coke*
GM Archmage: *will saves*
GM Archmage: *actually, fort saves*
Jak Snide: "Full fat" coke tastes better...but Diet is better for you.
GM Archmage: ...no...
GM Archmage: It really isn't. It contains aspartame.
GM Archmage: There's no "fat" in coke. Just sugar.
EbilRyuuzoku: Back!
GM Archmage: Alright!
GM Archmage: Plot synopsis/review for prior events:
Jak Snide: ...must all you yanks break my fragile perceptions of reality?!
XStrike8: HA HA HA WE ARE EVIL.
Jak Snide: ...Bloody pink Texans...
GM Archmage: Jak, Aerin, Kamos, and Ara traveled to the temple of the goddess of order, Shamayu. There, the four of them retrieved a powerful artifact known as "The Seeds of Order."
Jak Snide: (Karis was there as well!)
GM Archmage: Ara was seeking the artifact so that she could use it, with two others, to counteract a set of evil artifacts created by Nikumu, the god of hate. And yes, Karis was there as well.
GM Archmage: Ara is currently seeking the next artifact in the set--the Weave of Balance.
GM Archmage: And so, we pick up the scene in the courtyard of Doma Castle...
GM Archmage: <THE GM!>
Jak Snide: <Jak Snide, bastard extrordinair!>
XStrike8: <Damian Smith>
EbilRyuuzoku: <Ara Muyo-er Mythril>
Daien01: <Daien. Yes, he's back... I guess.>
GM Archmage: *Ara hears the familiar shouting of Hakaril, the well-known Doman General and Archmage*
EbilRyuuzoku: IM: Ah, it's Hak!
EbilRyuuzoku: *is wearing the seeds currently
GM Archmage: *the wind rustles in the courtyard, and a swirl of leaves blows past in a tiny whirlwind*
EbilRyuuzoku: Hakaril!
GM Archmage: *all in all, it's a rather nice day, weatherwise, not too hot, not too cold, not overly cloudy*
GM Archmage: Hak: *waves at Ara and darts over* ....*pants slightly*
GM Archmage: H: ...THERE...you...are...
EbilRyuuzoku: o.o Heya Hak...what's up?
XStrike8: *walking down the street towards the castle's gates*
GM Archmage: H: I've managed to, by studying old records and transactions of some trade caravans that I dug up, locate the Weave of Balance.
GM Archmage: H: I think so, anyway. I'm fairly positive.
EbilRyuuzoku: Oh! One of the artifacts right?
XStrike8: Hopefully this report will go quickly enough... Especially since there's not much TO report. -.-
GM Archmage: H: Yeah. It's a cloaklike artifact...*pulls out a sketchpad, and shows her a fairly simple scholar's impression of what the cloak should look like*
XStrike8: *walks up to where the castle's guards are, well, standing guard*
GM Archmage: *the cloak is fairly ordinary looking, with a bone neck clasp and an order rune inscribed on the back*
EbilRyuuzoku: o.o What does it do though?
GM Archmage: H: I'd assume it protects the wearer in some way.
EbilRyuuzoku: ....oh, of course...where would I find the thing? And are you coming with us this time?
EbilRyuuzoku: We don't have to go in any temples right?
GM Archmage: H: Nope. No temples...not this time...*murmurs something* I intend to go with you. *nods*
GM Archmage: (From here on out, assume text without a prefix of some sort is Hakaril.)
GM Archmage: ...actually, this should be much easier than any temple excursion...
EbilRyuuzoku: Good ^_^ Where is this place?
EbilRyuuzoku: Or thing rather...
GM Archmage: ...hey, wait, isn't that Damian?
EbilRyuuzoku: Damien? *frowns* Wait isn't that the guy....
XStrike8: *to the guard(s)* Pardon me, but I'm here to see General Hakaril. I'd assume I'm expected.
XStrike8: Cool.
GM Archmage: Are you, Damian? *smirks*
XStrike8: (Whoops. Strike that last.)
GM Archmage: Most likely so...*the guards step out of his way, lowering their pikes*
XStrike8: Sir Hakaril. I'm here for that report I mentioned earlier...
GM Archmage: Report away. *sounds slightly bored*
XStrike8: *walks over to Hak* Well, as far as I can tell, nothing much seems to be going on.
GM Archmage: *smirks again* If only you knew.
GM Archmage: Not much in run of the mill Doma...doesn't that figure?
GM Archmage: Kind of a calm before a potential storm, really...
EbilRyuuzoku: *eyes Daien*
EbilRyuuzoku: IM: Yeah that's the one Nakibe picked...
XStrike8: *chuckles somewhat* I'd assume you've been having troubles of your own?
GM Archmage: ...possibly.
Jak Snide: *walks out of one of the stores of Doma, looking disgruntled about something*
GM Archmage: Would you qualify unearthing a set of tools capable of demolishing entire cities trouble?
XStrike8: e.e Don't tell me you're keeping either of those "tools" here, are you?
GM Archmage: Try all three of them.
Jak Snide: IM: How long can it take them to find out what to do next?! It's been ages since I've heard anything from Ara....
XStrike8: I'm no expert in that sort of magic, but I'd never.... O.O
XStrike8: Thank goodness that security around here seems to be tighter than in the past.
EbilRyuuzoku: *pulls the Staff of Unrelenting anger from hammerspace*
GM Archmage: The alternative would be to let them fall into the hands of...someone...else.
Jak Snide: IM: Bah, to hell with waiting. *changes his course, heading towards the castle*
EbilRyuuzoku: It's hard to get to them with me around....
GM Archmage: Ara has them...
GM Archmage: ...she's keeping them safe...
XStrike8: Wonderful. So, may I ask, what else are you intending to do with them....
GM Archmage: IM: As much from me as anyone else...
EbilRyuuzoku: Destroy 'em ^_^
XStrike8: Ara? o.o Hmm... Ah, I see.
Jak Snide: *a short while later is at the castle gate, and trying to get a look inside*
GM Archmage: Destroy them. Obliterate them. Remove them from the face of the planet.
XStrike8: You bear such a striking resemblance to your sister, the Queen.
XStrike8: *bows to Ara somewhat*
Jak Snide: IM: Bah. Most likely I'll have to deal with the guards which that Pervy's so expertly trained...
GM Archmage: She is her twin...
GM Archmage: Twins tend to do that. Look alike, you know.
XStrike8: Really?
Jak Snide: *walks up to the guards at the gate, expecting them to stop and question him*
GM Archmage: Really. *sarcastic edge*
EbilRyuuzoku: O.o You...don't remember me...?
XStrike8: I've seen a few twins in the past that looked nothing alike before.
GM Archmage: *the guards do, in fact, stop Jak, polearms at the ready*
GM Archmage: Well, that does happen. It's a fluke.
XStrike8: <.<
GM Archmage: G: Hold it!
GM Archmage: G: State your business.
Jak Snide: e_e Name, business at the caslte and so on, right?
GM Archmage: G: ...a mindreader, or else a very sarcastic, bitter bastard.
EbilRyuuzoku: o.o;
Jak Snide: The later. I'm here to see Ara. Tell her that Jak is here.
XStrike8: Hmm... can't say that I do, m'lady.
GM Archmage: G: Right. *sends off one of the other guards*
XStrike8: Although.... IM: *chuckles*
XStrike8: Hm? o.o e.e
EbilRyuuzoku: But...you....the ritual...I.... O.o;;;
GM Archmage: I find it hard to believe you haven't met her...
XStrike8: IM: Is there something you're not telling me, Naki? >.> Or am I just getting old.
GM Archmage: G: Lady Ara!
XStrike8: IM: Well... maaaaybee... You ARE kinda old there.
XStrike8: IM: Older than what? e.e
XStrike8: Hmm... I may recall something.... *still frowning somewhat*
EbilRyuuzoku: Yeah what is it! *shouting to the guard*
Jak Snide: *waits, tapping one foot, arms crossed*
GM Archmage: G: *the guard snaps to attention, saluting* Someone to see you! A Jack, or something.
EbilRyuuzoku: Oh! Jak Snide? Let him in...
GM Archmage: G: Jack, knave, fool, jester, all the same to me...*mumbles*
EbilRyuuzoku: IM: Good, now I don't have to go look for him...
GM Archmage: G: Yes, Lady.
GM Archmage: G: *runs back to his post*
GM Archmage: G: Alright, let him in.
GM Archmage: *the guards get out of Jak's path*
XStrike8: Interesting.
Jak Snide: Right. Ta. *walks inside, and looks around for Ara*
GM Archmage: Ah, if it isn't...Mr. Snide?
XStrike8: I'm just wondering, though... why would you keep those items on your person in the first place?
GM Archmage: ...if you knew who else wanted them, you'd want to keep them, too.
XStrike8: Snide? -.- This name sounds mildly familiar to me....
Jak Snide: Yes. And you must be the resident Archmage.
Jak Snide: *looks at Ara* Have you found out anything about these artifacts yet?
GM Archmage: You've gotta know who I am...*smirks*
EbilRyuuzoku: Jak! You came just in time...we have a lead now..
Jak Snide: *smirks slightly* Good. Who's cold, dead hands do we have to pry it from?
GM Archmage: Hopefully no one's.
XStrike8: Hmm... interesting.
GM Archmage: This shouldn't be very difficult, as I was planning to explain to Ara...
XStrike8: So I'm assuming you're all going to take these... items somewhere?
GM Archmage: Well, we're trying to get our hands on some counterartifacts.
GM Archmage: Ara has one of them already...
XStrike8: counter.. artifacts? o.o
EbilRyuuzoku: o.o *points to the beads on her neck*
Jak Snide: Ah yes, those things...
GM Archmage: Created by the goddess of order.
Jak Snide: IM: I remember what I went through for those...
XStrike8: Facinating.
GM Archmage: They're equally powerful in different ways, and they could be used to destroy the tools of hate.
XStrike8: *frowns* But you're all going to go do this yourselves, I expect?
GM Archmage: Anyway...the Weave is reportedly currently held by some sort of mercenary warrior in...*appears to be trying to remember*
XStrike8: No insult to your abilities or anything, but... are you sure you might not need an extra hand or two?
EbilRyuuzoku: Well we've had other help before...Aerin and that Karis kid help...
GM Archmage: Hm? I don't know, Ara, do you want to bring him along?
EbilRyuuzoku: Sure why not *shrugs*
Jak Snide: IM: Karis....ah yes, the juvenile, idealistic kid...
EbilRyuuzoku: Oh... *looks to Jak* >_> I'm expecting you wish to get paid again right?
XStrike8: Oh. Speaking of payment, Sir Hakaril.
Jak Snide: You're right, although destroying those blasted artifacts will be part of my reward.
GM Archmage: ...you're going to hire a MERCENARY for this?
XStrike8: I'm wondering if you ever uncovered anything on gates or teleportations?
GM Archmage: I haven't even explained what we're planning to do...
EbilRyuuzoku: o_o Uh, then what are we going to do?
GM Archmage: I've got some books on them, yes...why?
Jak Snide: ¬_¬ *glares at Hakaril*
GM Archmage: ...well, I figured we could always ask him for it.
GM Archmage: He'll give us the damned thing and we'll be on our way.
XStrike8: Ah, so you HAVE found something. Perhaps I might look at those books when we return? o.o
GM Archmage: Absolutely. *nods*
Jak Snide: IM: Who has thing thing anyway?
GM Archmage: Anyway, Ara, I figure you have enough bodyguards, assuming you need them...
XStrike8: He? He who? And I assume this person will be giving us one of these artifacts, correct?
GM Archmage: He being some hermetic mercenary who lives north of here, between Doma and Middith, somewhere in the forest.
Jak Snide: Hmm. Mage or warrior?
EbilRyuuzoku: Somewhere in the forest? Oh yay *grins*
XStrike8: Hmm... Any idea where exactly this person might reside?
XStrike8: Or will we have to track him down?
EbilRyuuzoku: I have a good idea how to find him though *grins wider*
XStrike8: (*pauses*)
XStrike8: >.>;;; The last person I saw with a smile like that...
XStrike8: IM: Me Me me ^-^ Don't remind me. e.e
EbilRyuuzoku: IM: Bah I don't need bodyguards...as long as no mazoku are involved...or really large golems, I'll be fine...
Jak Snide: Oi, Ara, how much trouble are you expecting on this little excursion?
GM Archmage: Track? I know, roughly, where he was last seen.
GM Archmage: I did some research on the topic, asked around, dug up old logs...
XStrike8: Hopefully we won't have much trouble, mister... Snide, wasn't it?
Jak Snide: Jak.
XStrike8: Jak.
GM Archmage: Jak Snide. Famed pyromaniac and homicidal, angry magician. Skilled yet...hot tempered.
Jak Snide: Got it in one. I take it I need not reapeat your reputation.
XStrike8: Hmm... -.o
GM Archmage: My reputation? *smirks*
XStrike8: Well, as for myself, I'd rather just be called Damian.
XStrike8: My reputation... is not important.
Jak Snide: *looks at Damian and nods*
GM Archmage: Tell me, what do people say about me? That my talents are legendary? That I'm a top graduate of Gunnir? That my research skills and scholarly attributes are immeasurably valuable?
EbilRyuuzoku: >_> IM: Hooo boy...
XStrike8: >.> *chuckles*
Jak Snide: Actually, to tell the truth, word around town is that you're an arrogant, stuck up school boy of a mage, who's gender is under scrutiny.
GM Archmage: ...my...WHAT!?
Jak Snide: *shrugs* Just rumors, thought. Nothing to go by really.
XStrike8: *mumbles* Well, you did ask, you know.
GM Archmage: *normally deep red eyes flare more brightly*
XStrike8: -.o
GM Archmage: My GENDER!?
EbilRyuuzoku: Heeey....you know Hakaril is quite OBVIOUSLY a guy you know
GM Archmage: Don't make you show you who's the superior man here, buddy...
XStrike8: 9.9 *sigh*
EbilRyuuzoku: *eyes him* IM: Not bad looking one, I wouldn't mind drawing him one day... GAH!
Jak Snide: *raises hands* Did I ever say I believe this?
EbilRyuuzoku: (Color o_o)
XStrike8: (Sankyuu. ^_^)
Jak Snide: I'm just relaying what the populace in general are saying.
GM Archmage: *muttering* ...tax increase...raise...making an example...
Jak Snide: IM: ...or the scum who hang around the bars....
GM Archmage: ...*mutter*...
Jak Snide: Maybe you shouldn't judge someone by their reputation, hmm? Can be quite misleading, don't you think?
XStrike8: Certainly.
GM Archmage: ...can be. *eyes narrowed*
XStrike8: Well, as I said, I don't think I have a reputation around here...
EbilRyuuzoku: *sighs* >.>;;;
Jak Snide: So why don't we forget what we've each heard, and instead form our own opinions, eh?
XStrike8: *mumbles* and I'd prefer it stay that way
GM Archmage: Fine.
GM Archmage: So, you think you want to come along? I'll assume you're only coming if money's involved...
Jak Snide: Money would be nice. And I've got my standards to maintain. But I also want to see these evil, heritical artifacts destryoed, and in a permenant fashion.
GM Archmage: I'm afraid to say that I'm not offering you any pay, unless things actually turn dangerous. Which I highly doubt.
Jak Snide: ....sounds fair.
Jak Snide: But I get half the bones in my body broken again, I better get some damn good pay....
EbilRyuuzoku: *coughs* Are you boys done arguing yet?
Jak Snide: Hmm? Oh, yeah, sure.
XStrike8: Evil? Well, I'm not sure if I could call any artifact like Sir Hakaril has described to me so FAR evil.
XStrike8: But... hmm... something you haven't told me about these artifacts, by any chance?
Jak Snide: Oh, he hasn't mentioned the Nikumian artifacts?
XStrike8: Nikumian? Hmm... Can't say I recognize that name... -.-
XStrike8: But then I don't much about this place.
EbilRyuuzoku: God of Hatred here apparently.
Jak Snide: Yes. Drow god.
Jak Snide: *spits at the ground*
GM Archmage: Worshipped by numerous drow, along with several...less intelligent, primal creatures.
XStrike8: *raises eyebrow* Drow? Something else I haven't heard of?
GM Archmage: Some of the more evil goblins, kobolds, cave sahuagin, troglodytes...
Jak Snide: Dark elves. Murderous cave dwelling scum.
GM Archmage: ...well, cave dwelling elves, anyway.
XStrike8: And I'd assume that... hmm... yes. If they're artifacts of a God of Hatred, it'd probably be best if they were destroyed.
XStrike8: Hmm... -.-
GM Archmage: Their skin tones range from midnight blue to black.
EbilRyuuzoku: Black....?
GM Archmage: Depends largely on their geographical birthplace.
GM Archmage: There is a large population of black-skinned drow in Argovia.
XStrike8: Hmm... o.o
Jak Snide: ....
XStrike8: More things for me to remember...
EbilRyuuzoku: IM: You mean that one guy I.....oh...
Jak Snide: Right, right. Anyway, shouldn't we get going? We can talk and walk at the same time.
EbilRyuuzoku: Yes, let's be on our way...
GM Archmage: I don't think the Argovian Alahi worship Nikumu, for reference...
GM Archmage: Fine. *nods*
GM Archmage: This guy doesn't live too far out, by my calculations...
XStrike8: Sounds like a plan to me.
GM Archmage: Right then.
GM Archmage: *starts to march off* Coming?
Jak Snide: *follows*
XStrike8: *walks along*
XStrike8: Hmm.... -.-
Jak Snide: Anyway, who is this bloke we're going to see?
XStrike8: Not like I'd know the person even if I knew his or her name.
EbilRyuuzoku: *follows along* Hm...
GM Archmage: His name is...Ethyn Prynne.
EbilRyuuzoku: IM: This ought to be a piece of cake ^_^
Jak Snide: Hmm. An elf?
Jak Snide: Or just a man with a fancy name?
GM Archmage: I'm honestly not sure.
EbilRyuuzoku: IM: Maybe I'll run into Taryn out there *^_^*
GM Archmage: There's actually a record of him in the castle archives...
XStrike8: Can you really tell by the name alone with some people?
Jak Snide: Right. You said he was a mercenary. What's he know for, then?
GM Archmage: Apparently, he worked for one of the past kings, before the current Charles.
Jak Snide: A good sign, I suppose.
GM Archmage: He has a track record as a demon slayer.
XStrike8: Hmm....
XStrike8: Sounds interesting enough.
Jak Snide: IM: I like the sound of this....
XStrike8: But.
XStrike8: Why'd he leave Doma?
Jak Snide: Man of the sword, or a mage like you and I?
EbilRyuuzoku: Demon Slayer o.o Oooh.
Daien01 has left the room.
GM Archmage: He's a recluse. Apparently, the king no longer needed him. He's been out of service since...*thinks*
GM Archmage: Since the current king was a teenager, maybe even before.
GM Archmage: I'd estimate he's probably fairly aged.
EbilRyuuzoku: Well if he's a human or something like that.... *shrugs*
Jak Snide: *nods* Right. Any reason to resent the crown these days?
GM Archmage: He might not be. The records don't say.
XStrike8: Good good.
GM Archmage: No, not really. I don't think so anyway, unless there's something that no one bothered to write down.
EbilRyuuzoku: Hmph, well history books can be filled with all sorts of propaganda...
XStrike8: The less trouble that we find on this trip, the better.
Jak Snide: Right. Now, are you sure that there won't be trouble? No records of disturbances in the region we're heading to?
GM Archmage: No, no major issues. There are a lot of fey in the woods, but that's about it.
GM Archmage: ...the fey tend to keep to themselves anyway.
Jak Snide: Fey....*nods*
EbilRyuuzoku: It's just a forest....fey aren't that much of a problem..
Jak Snide: Hmm...Ara, you're a druid or something, aren't you?
EbilRyuuzoku: Yes, yes I am.
Jak Snide: *nods* Then we should be fine.
Jak Snide: IM: No need to try and grab a few guards from around here for support...
GM Archmage: *the group reaches the city limits*
EbilRyuuzoku: *Jak notices the vines in her hair, and two little green marks below her eyes and all that sort of signal this*
XStrike8: Druid, you say?
XStrike8: Powers that have to do with nature, am I correct?
EbilRyuuzoku: *nods*
XStrike8: Excellent, excellent.
XStrike8: o.o -.- Hmm...
EbilRyuuzoku: *looks to the forest* Hmm..
GM Archmage: ...trees talking to you, Ara?
Jak Snide: ...and what about you Damain? What might you be skilled in?
GM Archmage: *sounds perfectly serious, and is*
XStrike8: I'm still trying to learn a bit more of magic... I've heard something about users of Darkness magic.
EbilRyuuzoku: *grins* I was about to ask
XStrike8: *ignores Jak's question*
EbilRyuuzoku: *turns to the nearest tree* =Hey do you know where an old hermit lives in here is?=
Jak Snide: ....*notices this, and does not look pleased*
Jak Snide: *COUGHS* Oi, Mr Damian person.
XStrike8: Yes? >.>
Jak Snide: What might I expect you to do, should we be jumped by bandits?
XStrike8: -.- If you must know, Darkness magic is my own specialty.
GM Archmage: Tree: =...hmmm?=
GM Archmage: T: =Oh...hermit...describe...?=
Jak Snide: ...so four mages with no support? Excellent...
XStrike8: Actually, I prefer hand-to-hand combat.
Jak Snide: IM: Come up against one bastard with a magic protection amulet or the....
EbilRyuuzoku: =A really old one, we think, if he's a human, he might be an elf though, he has a special cloak with him that sort of feels like balance=
Jak Snide: Hmm. Interesting.
Jak Snide: IM: Not so screwed then, it sems.
GM Archmage: T: =The entire forest...feels like balance...my child...=
EbilRyuuzoku: =I mean moreso than usual= IM: Well there's an oxymoron =Um, more like this= *points to her beads*
Daien01 has entered the room.
Jak Snide: (Welcome back)
GM Archmage: T: =The balance is strong...and also strong...here.=
GM Archmage: *Ara has a mental vision of a fairly small wooden house with a smoking chimney, and gets the impression that it's only a few miles out*
EbilRyuuzoku: =Direction?=
GM Archmage: *Ara finds herself glancing northward*
XStrike8: I believe Sir Hakaril said you specialized in explosions of some sort, Jak?
EbilRyuuzoku: That way guys *points north*
GM Archmage: ...glorified explosions. *smirks*
GM Archmage: Ah? The tree tell you or something?
EbilRyuuzoku: He's gotta small house out there...
EbilRyuuzoku: *nods* Yep
Jak Snide: Fire magic, yes. The destrutive elemental arts of Ice and Lightning as well.
GM Archmage: Obviously...your sense of direction is something like that of a drunken carrier pidgeon.
XStrike8: Good. For once things are going our way.
Jak Snide: IM: Gods, don't I sound like some pompous mageling now...
GM Archmage: *wanders onward into the forest*
Jak Snide: *looks at Hakaril* And you...you favour the holy offensive arts, don't you?
GM Archmage: Quite right...and I'm an accomplished Astralist, as well.
EbilRyuuzoku: *follows after as well*
GM Archmage: As well as a competent conjurer.
XStrike8: Hmm...
EbilRyuuzoku: IM: Blah blah blah, my destruction's better than yours..
Jak Snide: Asrtalist. *chuckles* Messing with that plane is beyond me...
XStrike8: Astralist? Hmm...
Jak Snide: (*Astralist)
XStrike8: Perhaps I should've learned to manipulate the Astral Plane.
XStrike8: o.o
XStrike8: >.>;;; Eheh. Then again...
EbilRyuuzoku: o.o The astral plane is big.
GM Archmage: ......no kidding.
GM Archmage: It overlaps with the material one.
Jak Snide: IM: That's why astral magic can affect living beings, I suspect.
XStrike8: On second thought, I'm rather glad I DON'T mess with the Astral plane much.
EbilRyuuzoku: Of course, then no connection could be made between me and my astral body...
Jak Snide: IM: Bah....better than shadow magic...bloody drow magic, that is....
EbilRyuuzoku: (What a lovely party XD)
Jak Snide: (Just wait till they start trying to stab each other.)
GM Archmage: ...*sniffs the air*
GM Archmage: Anyone smell...smoke?
EbilRyuuzoku: *sniffs*
Jak Snide: *sniffs the air as well, trying to detect said smell*
GM Archmage: *there is a faint scent of wood smoke in the air, as though someone has built a fire*
XStrike8: *sniff*
XStrike8: Where's that coming from, though?
Jak Snide: IM: Ah...familiar.
Jak Snide: Wood burning. I know it well.
GM Archmage: ...*sniffs*...over there?
Jak Snide: *smiles ever so slightly*
EbilRyuuzoku: *sniff sniff*
EbilRyuuzoku: *nods* Yeah...
GM Archmage: *peering through the trees, the group spots a cabin, which Ara recognizes as the one from her vision*
EbilRyuuzoku: Hey there it is!
GM Archmage: ...looks like your typical hermetic residence.
EbilRyuuzoku: ^_^ IM: Peace of cake...
Jak Snide: IM: Why do I know that something's going to go wrong?
EbilRyuuzoku: (Piece^)
GM Archmage: (Going to say, as oppposed to war of cake?)
EbilRyuuzoku: *strolls up to the house*
EbilRyuuzoku: (XP)
XStrike8: Interesting.
EbilRyuuzoku: (*throws cake at Brian*)
GM Archmage: (War of Cake: "HEY, THAT'S MY PIECE!")
Jak Snide: *hangs back, keeping an eye out*
Jak Snide: (<.< *steals cake, blames it on someone else*)
GM Archmage: *the house stands, silent and ominous yet inviting*
EbilRyuuzoku: *knocks on the door*
GM Archmage: *the door makes an echoing sound typical of that made when one applies their fist in a rapping manner to a wooden surface*
GM Archmage: *after a few minutes, a slightly gruff male voice sounds*
EbilRyuuzoku: *waits*
GM Archmage: V: Yeah? What do you want!?
Jak Snide: IM: Taking his time...
XStrike8: Pardon us for bothering you, sir.
EbilRyuuzoku: Hey uh, are you Ethyn Prynne?
GM Archmage: *the door opens, revealing a well-built man of slightly more than average height with slightly pointed ears and skin with a very faint midnight blue tint*
Jak Snide: .......
Jak Snide: . . . .
GM Archmage: E: Yes, I'm Ethyn Prynne. You need something? Lost in the woods?
GM Archmage: E: No, that can't be. You were looking for me.
Jak Snide: IM: What is this!?! A drow?! No....my gods....what an abomination.
XStrike8: Hmm.... o.o Interesting.
EbilRyuuzoku: Yes um...we'd like to obtain the cloak of balance *nods*
Jak Snide: IM: ...probably just the product of raid and rape. Poor bastard.
GM Archmage: E: ...so you show up on my doorstep and ask me for it? How do you know I have something like that, anyway?
GM Archmage: I did my research.
GM Archmage: You show up in the Doman records, you know...and after a little reading of caravan trade logs and merchendise listings...
EbilRyuuzoku: Yep, you're in the books you know, demonslayer. *nods* ^_^
GM Archmage: E: Nice work, detectives. *chuckles* What do you want it for?
XStrike8: A couple troublesome artifacts.
XStrike8: We'd rather not have them.
EbilRyuuzoku: Indeed...some Nikumu artifacts..
GM Archmage: E: Artifacts of Nikumu? What sort?
EbilRyuuzoku: Well let's see... this for one... *produces the staff again*
GM Archmage: E: I'm afraid I'm not familiar with that...
XStrike8: Apparently, you should be glad of that. >.>;;;
XStrike8: *w to Ara* Are you sure you should be taking that thing out here?
Jak Snide: ....*watches the events from a good few yards away, keeping an eye on the artifacts, and the "spawn"*
GM Archmage: E: ...it doesn't help that I only have a vague idea of what it is.
EbilRyuuzoku: *w* I'd rather not leave it alone at the castle where Ceiphied knows who can grab it...
XStrike8: *w* And this is safer, I suppose.
GM Archmage: *Ara notices something rather odd*
XStrike8: Well, I'm told it's quite a destructive little item.
GM Archmage: *...Ethyn isn't blinking*
EbilRyuuzoku: IM: ....that's weird, is he part fish or something? Maybe that's why he's blue...mmm fish...
XStrike8: *w* And what if someone tries to assail you here or something, m'lady?
EbilRyuuzoku: *w* Eh, nothing I can't deal with ^_^
GM Archmage: E: *stands, silent, apparently mildly distraught*
XStrike8: Hmm...
GM Archmage: So, you going to help us...and the rest of mankind...out here?
Jak Snide: *scrutinises the half breed, finding the whipsering unnerving*
GM Archmage: E: I might as well...except that...
GM Archmage: E: *stares, apparently into space...which Damian notes he's been doing the entire time, not once looking at anyone*
EbilRyuuzoku: ...er...exccept what?
Jak Snide: ....
GM Archmage: E: ...it was stolen from me.
Jak Snide: *glances around him quickly*
XStrike8: IM: Odd... Naki...
GM Archmage: GREAT. >.<
XStrike8: IM: Yes? o.o
XStrike8: IM: Is there something... wrong with that man over there?
EbilRyuuzoku: .... Uh, by what?
EbilRyuuzoku: IM: Go figure... o_O;;;
XStrike8: IM: Gee, why don't you find out for yourself?
GM Archmage: E: My home was raided in the night by a group of forest gremlins.
GM Archmage: E: *looks mildly embarrassed*
XStrike8: IM: Please, Naki. e.e Fine fine, sure sure. *peers at Ethyn on the astral*
Jak Snide: *speaks up* So we have to seek out the little buggers, put them to the sword, torch or whatever, and retrieve the item ourselves, right?
XStrike8: Forest Gremlins.
GM Archmage: *Nakibe doesn't notice any astral ills*
XStrike8: Wonderful. e.e
GM Archmage: E: Well, if you do, you can have the damned thing.
XStrike8: IM: Back. Hmm? o.o
GM Archmage: E: However.
Jak Snide: Right. Any idea where they are then?
Jak Snide: Hmm?
XStrike8: IM: Nothin unusual there. Why'd you wanna check, anyways? .... no reason.
EbilRyuuzoku: Eh?
GM Archmage: E: That's not all they took from me. Most of it was useless trinkets and the like.
XStrike8: IM: THEN WHADDYA WASTIN MY TIME FOR?!? e.e ... whatever. 9.9
EbilRyuuzoku: What else did they take? O.o;
GM Archmage: E: They did take something somewhat important, besides the Weave...
XStrike8: Trinkets, you say?
GM Archmage: E: ...they took a pendant of some value.
GM Archmage: ...and a pendant isn't a minor trinket?
EbilRyuuzoku: Sedimental thing?
Jak Snide: A magical one, I assume?
GM Archmage: E: Yes, a magical one.
Jak Snide: (Sedimental? O-o)
GM Archmage: ...will you look at me when I talk to you?
EbilRyuuzoku: (Sentimental ^)
GM Archmage: IM: Great Lord Agnostic, he's really spaced out, or something...
EbilRyuuzoku: *frowns and waves a hand in front of his face* .....or um....
GM Archmage: *Ethyn appears to take no notice*
XStrike8: Hmm... e.e
Jak Snide: .....
XStrike8: Is there anything else besides the pendant?
Jak Snide: *tries to get a "feel" of the man's aura*
EbilRyuuzoku: *w* Hak I think he's blind >_>;;;
GM Archmage: *the man's aura is distinctly weak, magically, yet strong willed*
GM Archmage: ...*mumbles* That might explain why he quit working for the royal family.
Jak Snide: IM: No trickery, and no real magic potential....
GM Archmage: Might I inquire as to what the pendant does?
GM Archmage: E: ...without it, I'm almost completely blind.
GM Archmage: IM: Aha. So she was right.
XStrike8: I.... see. o.o
GM Archmage: That's quite an impediment...to...well, everything.
GM Archmage: E: You have a talent for stating the absolutely obvious.
GM Archmage: E: Tell you what. You get my pendant, and you can have the Weave.
Jak Snide: Fair enough...
EbilRyuuzoku: o.o Sure...
XStrike8: *sighs* Well, there goes the idea of having a peaceful day for once.
XStrike8: A peaceful mission, more like.
GM Archmage: E: I WOULD get it myself, but even gremlins are rather difficult to handle when you have no vision.
Jak Snide: D'ya have any idea where these gremlins are, or do we have to track them down entirely on our own?
XStrike8: They're nearby, I'd assume? o.
GM Archmage: E: They should be. Gremlins are fey, and have a very distinct scent, if any of your are trackers.
GM Archmage: They've got rather unique auras, too. It should be easy to find them, as they tend to congregate together.
EbilRyuuzoku: o.o *thinks*Ahh...auras I can deal with yes....
Jak Snide: ...fey, eh?
Jak Snide: Hey, Ara, I thought fey "usually" kept to themselves.
EbilRyuuzoku: IM: Little gremlins shouldn't be such a problem anyways...tee hee gremlins are funny...
GM Archmage: ...gremlins are mischevious creatures.
EbilRyuuzoku: >_>; I'm not the one that said that, Hak did...
Jak Snide: Right, right....
GM Archmage: They occasionally steal things of minor value--based on how shiny they are.
Jak Snide: IM: Eejit. *to self*
XStrike8: Hmm.
XStrike8: I've heard similar things about wild dragons.
GM Archmage: Occasionally they'll take livestock or whatever, but trinkets are more common...
XStrike8: >.> Not all the things I've heard are true, mind you.
Jak Snide: *drops a hand to the dagger inside his robes*
GM Archmage: ...I've heard rumors of them stealing little children, but I think those are likely false.
XStrike8: Little children? e.e
EbilRyuuzoku: Naaaah, gremlins don't do that....at least not where I come from...
GM Archmage: E: *shakes his head* Good luck. I would help you more, but being...well...blind...makes that rather difficult.
EbilRyuuzoku: IM: There are much more nasty things there that'll steal children...
GM Archmage: E: Please, return when you have retrieved my pendant...and you shall be welcome to my hospitality. I would be in better shape to have company if I could see them.
XStrike8: Agreed.
EbilRyuuzoku: IM: What a nice hermit ^_^
GM Archmage: It's just a rumor...
XStrike8: Good thing for the Goblins it's a rumor.
Jak Snide: *looks at Hak* Hey, astralist, think you can track them down?
XStrike8: There are certain things I won't abide by if I can help it. -.-
GM Archmage: *closes his eyes*
GM Archmage: ...there are a lot of fey over that way. *points* They're less than a mile away.
XStrike8: Good. Within easy walking distance.
XStrike8: Although... v.v
GM Archmage: What?
XStrike8: I'm not eager to walk into a fight.
Jak Snide: Joy. Are we going to fry them, or try and reason with them?
GM Archmage: ...well, it depends how shiny the cloak is.
GM Archmage: Maybe they'll trade, barter, or otherwise part with it.
GM Archmage: If not...
Jak Snide: Boom. Gotcha.
XStrike8: I'd rather not go down that road, if it can be helped.
GM Archmage: The pendant, as well. We do need to get that.
EbilRyuuzoku: So they like shiney things?
GM Archmage: ...unless you feel good about stealing from cripples.
GM Archmage: *smirks at Jak*
GM Archmage: They're pack rats, Ara. *laughs*
Jak Snide: By the look of the poor sod, he's got enough trouble with his heritage. And why would I need a pendant that improves eyesight, anyhow?
GM Archmage: I was talking about the Weave. It IS technically his property.
EbilRyuuzoku: IM: Damnit! Competition!
GM Archmage: ...his heritage?
GM Archmage: Ah. He looked to be half drow, perhaps.
XStrike8: Hmm...
Jak Snide: Aye. *frowns*
EbilRyuuzoku: Drow? Not half fish?
GM Archmage: ...half FISH?
XStrike8: Drow... hmm...
Jak Snide: O-o *looks at Ara*
GM Archmage: Where in the name of...
XStrike8: Half.. FISH? o.o
GM Archmage: ...what the hell would...
XStrike8: >.>;;;;;
EbilRyuuzoku: Well he wasn't blinking so I thought... *shrugs*
GM Archmage: ...why in the realm of the material plane would you...
XStrike8: Hn.
GM Archmage: ...I think that's probably a side effect of his blindness. Blinking tends to be less instinctive when you're unable to see anyway...or perhaps that could be why he's blind.
GM Archmage: I wouldn't know, honestly.
XStrike8: In either case, it's a moot point, isn't it?
GM Archmage: Quite.
GM Archmage: *off in the distance, the sounds of high pitched giggling can be heard*
EbilRyuuzoku: >_> Lets go find some gremlins.... -.- *scans the nearby astral*
GM Archmage: >.> That sound...?
Jak Snide: ...no need for the astral, when you have the cackling of mishivious fay to follow...
EbilRyuuzoku: >.> Heheh.
EbilRyuuzoku: *starts stalking off in that direction*
XStrike8: *follows*
Jak Snide: *follows, keeping an eye open for anything that looks like trouble*
GM Archmage: *Ara spots, in a small clearing, a ring of mushrooms with numerous faerielike creatures in various shades of green and purple sitting atop them*
GM Archmage: *seated atop one of the mushrooms is a grey elf who looks rather familiar*
XStrike8: Hmm o.o
GM Archmage: *the fey are sipping tea from a rather gaudy china set, dancing around in circles, and giggling gaily*
Daien01: ... ... *seems, wierdly... to be enjoying their company... and a nice cup of tea.*
Jak Snide: Hmm? I know that elf...
XStrike8: Facinati... isn't that Sir Daien? o.o
EbilRyuuzoku: o_O
GM Archmage: ...yes, it is.
GM Archmage: ...having tea with a bunch of gremlins.
EbilRyuuzoku: IM: Hey that's that one guy Sis really doesn't like...
Daien01: *continues in his happy happy drinking. Mmmm... Teeeaa...*
EbilRyuuzoku: O_o;;;;
GM Archmage: Great Lord Agnostic. What a story.
EbilRyuuzoku: Are you sure that's really TEA he's drinking?
GM Archmage: ...no, it just looks like it.
Jak Snide: This looks bloody wierd....some sort of charm magic, maybe?
GM Archmage: Or he could enjoy teatime with fey.
GM Archmage: ...damned if I know, really.
XStrike8: O.. kaaay... o.o
XStrike8: Daien? Is that you, Daien?
Jak Snide: Never figured him as that sort of person. I'd watch yourself.
EbilRyuuzoku: O.o; Daien?
Daien01: *... whoosh.*
GM Archmage: *the whole scene looks like something out of a very trippy fantasy novel, or else a very extreme acid trip*
EbilRyuuzoku: IM: Did I duel him once? I can't remember....
GM Archmage: *fairies and pixies flit around, gremlins dance and savor freshly brewed tea, and a satyr plays a panpipe set*
EbilRyuuzoku: IM: Reminds me of that one silly human fairy tale...what was it...Almace in wonderland?
Jak Snide: (Whooooaah! Duuuuude! This was just like that one time, two years ago! Aaaawesome!)
XStrike8: Daien? DAIEN. e.e
Daien01: *... whoosh.*
XStrike8: (Almace? Wonderful. >:P)
GM Archmage: o_o;;
XStrike8: (Where's the Serious one?)
Jak Snide: ....
Jak Snide: Prod him or something. Or hit him around the head.
GM Archmage: ...I'm trying not to attract attention to us.
GM Archmage: If you want to try, fine.
XStrike8: *frowns* Same.
EbilRyuuzoku: Why?
XStrike8: Although... hmm..
EbilRyuuzoku: What would they do? Make us drink tea also? Oh I'm so scared...
GM Archmage: Fey tend to dislike humans, except when they're toying with them.
GM Archmage: ...they'll more likely run away.
Jak Snide: *tries to get a "feel" of Daien's aura, and figure out what's up*
GM Archmage: Unless you threaten them...
GM Archmage: *Daien is apparently being affected by some sort of moderately powerful enchantment*
Jak Snide: ...he's been charmed with an enchantment spell, or maybe a potion.
GM Archmage: ...okay. No one make any sudden movements.
GM Archmage: I'm going to attempt to negotiate with the fey.
Jak Snide: Right. Have fun.
XStrike8: Should I try to get sir Daien out of there?
XStrike8: I think I can do that, at least.
GM Archmage: ...IM: Bastard.
AIM T3chie has entered the room.
GM Archmage: Yeah, sure, go on, give him a good whack.
Jak Snide: IM: No bloody way am I risking making an ass out of myself. The entire "Mr Nightstand" incident was enough to last me for the next 3 years....
GM Archmage: ...actually. *considers*
GM Archmage: Ara.
EbilRyuuzoku: ...eh?
GM Archmage: ...you're not a human. They tend to dislike humans in particular...maybe they'll be more receptive to a dragon?
XStrike8: That sounds like a plan.
Jak Snide: Failing that, she can go all big 'n scare them into submission.
GM Archmage: If you like the idea of roughly two dozen fey skittering away in sheer terror. *chuckles*
Jak Snide: ....now that you mention it....*smirks*
EbilRyuuzoku: o_O; It's worth a shot....
Daien01: *Teletubbies... Teletubbies...*
EbilRyuuzoku: (XD)
Daien01: *.. Get him out of this hell already!*
XStrike8: Wonderful.
Jak Snide: *looks at Daien again, and tries to determine if said enchantment is centred on his mind*
GM Archmage: Go for it, just appear calm...relaxed...yeah.
EbilRyuuzoku: ...calm...right... *clears her throat* I'm...uh...going in...
XStrike8: *w* Can she really do it?
GM Archmage: *w* ...maybe?
EbilRyuuzoku: *strolls casually into the crowd* =Hey there, what's up?=
GM Archmage: *the fey stop dancing momentarily to look at Ara, interest flickering in their eyes*
Jak Snide: *keeps trying to "feel" what exactely is affecting Daien, if he can*
GM Archmage: *a somewhat larger gremlin steps forward, scratching his head just behind the stub of his horn*
Daien01: > > ...
GM Archmage: *Jak can't pick up anything*
Jak Snide: Hmm....
GM Archmage: Gremlin: =Hello...= *slightly edgy*
Daien01: *looks at Ara, sensing the disruption*
Jak Snide: IM: Maybe.....
EbilRyuuzoku: ^_^ =Nice party you have going...hey what's wrong?=
GM Archmage: G: ...o.o ^_^ =Nothing.=
XStrike8: IM: Hmm... Woo.. Party!!! Did they bring the Hot Moogle Yaoi? :D
GM Archmage: G: =How can we help you?=
XStrike8: IM: Uhh... WHAT? o.o;;;
GM Archmage: *the majority of the fey go about their business*
XStrike8: IM: ^_^
Daien01: Hey... Ara... Come... join us... ^ ^ *is not quite aware... He IS having tea with fey, in the end.*
EbilRyuuzoku: =That elf guy over there, you know him? I think he's someone I know...=
GM Archmage: He's crazy. *laughs*
GM Archmage: Wait until I tell Aya about this...
KnightsofSquare has entered the room.
GM Archmage: G: =Oh, him! He was enjoying tea with us. ^_^=
EbilRyuuzoku: IM: Lord, what ever they had him smoking has got him hit up good O.o;;
GM Archmage: G: =He likes our tea!=
XStrike8: *w* Tea? o.o
XStrike8: *w* I wonder what that "Tea" is spiked with.
EbilRyuuzoku: =I see that...uh, I think I might need him to come with me, you see uh...he's getting married tommarow and we need to pick out his tuxedo..=
XStrike8: IM: I wish I knew what she was telling that thing. Eheheeh... she's probably asking it for a date or something. Maybe she even wants a bit of that "Tea" *snickers*
Jak Snide: *w* Hey Hak, what do you think's going on here?
GM Archmage: G: =...what are you talking about?=
EbilRyuuzoku: IM: does that guy even have a girlfriend?
EbilRyuuzoku: =Wedding, him, elf guy, tommarow, he can't stay for tea= *nods sagely*
GM Archmage: ...*w* Fey like to toy with mortals, as I said. I bet he's been charmed.
GM Archmage: G: =Oh. Disappointing.=
XStrike8: *w* Waitasec....
XStrike8: *w* What prevents them from doing the same to her? o.o
GM Archmage: G: =He'll miss his wedding. ._.=
Daien01: *sip sip. I say. This is some jolly good tea, wot?*
Jak Snide: *w* That's what I was thinking. Any idea how to break it?
XStrike8: *shrugs* *w* Not my department.
GM Archmage: *w* A good whack to the head? An anti-charm? I don't know any...
EbilRyuuzoku: =He can't miss the wedding though ya know, I need him to come with me...=
EbilRyuuzoku: *takes a moment to study the gremlin's aura to get a feel of what they look like*
Jak Snide: *w* Right. Look, do we really need to bother with him? Can't we just get what we came for, and go? They'll get bored and let him go soon enough.
XStrike8: *w* Maybe... but still... >:\
Jak Snide: *w* You think they're reinforcing the spell every now and then?
GM Archmage: *the gremlin's aura is typical of any other fey, rather lighthearted yet strong willed, and somewhat magically inclined*
GM Archmage: *w* They'll let him go when they're done. But I doubt they care that much.
XStrike8: *w* And the million dollar question...
GM Archmage: *w* Million what?
XStrike8: *w* Will he be in good condition when they DO let him go.
XStrike8: *w* Err... nevermind that.
GM Archmage: G: =We like him. He's fun!=
Jak Snide: IM: Dollar, dollar...heard that somewhere before...
EbilRyuuzoku: =Actually he can be very grouchy when you get to know him, he's not very fun to play with...=
Jak Snide: Say....Damian....you an offworlder?
GM Archmage: G: =Yes he is. o.o=
XStrike8: *w* <.< Perhaps...
GM Archmage: ...hm?
EbilRyuuzoku: O.O *gets an idea*
Daien01: *... walks up to Ara and offers her a cup*
EbilRyuuzoku: =I bet I could find you someone more fun to play with=
Jak Snide: *w* Heard that word "dollar" before from an offworlder who dropped by the inn.
GM Archmage: G: =Really?=
EbilRyuuzoku: =Oh yes, one second....=
EbilRyuuzoku: Doom!
XStrike8: *w* So there's someone else from my world here... hmm... Or at least one similar.
EbilRyuuzoku: *poof* =o.o= ??
Jak Snide: *heards "Doom!", then spots Ayra appear*
Jak Snide: ....eeeh?!
EbilRyuuzoku: Oneeane! =^_^= *glomps Ara's leg*
Jak Snide: O_o Familiar...who is that again?
EbilRyuuzoku: IM: Oh crap wait...x.x;; Death...scare off fey...d'oh, I just hope she doesn't do that "I'm death" act again x.x;;;
XStrike8: Ah. Ayra. o.o But why....?
EbilRyuuzoku: Heya Ayra, do you want to play with some fun people?
EbilRyuuzoku: =o.o= Playing is nice, are Robert and Solis here?
GM Archmage: G: =Hmmm? A new friend?=
EbilRyuuzoku: =Ayra likes to play, but she'll only play if Daien isn't here because she doesn't like Daien much...they don't get along..=
GM Archmage: G: =This is Daien?= *points*
EbilRyuuzoku: *points at Daien* =That is Daien, this is Ayra=
EbilRyuuzoku: =Herro= =o.o=
Daien01: ... *still going on his happy stuff*
EbilRyuuzoku: =Hey you guys are fey! Like Dalma!= =^_^=
Jak Snide: *w* What the hell is she up to?
EbilRyuuzoku: *eyes Daien and snickers softly*
GM Archmage: G: =Dalma? We don't know her....=
GM Archmage: G: =...do you dance like the fey do?=
EbilRyuuzoku: =I like dancing!=
GM Archmage: *Daien snaps out of his trance*
XStrike8: *w* I wish I knew.
EbilRyuuzoku: =I uh....um...=
GM Archmage: G: =Dance with us!=
Daien01: >.<
Daien01: ...
EbilRyuuzoku: =^_^= *starts dancing around* Hubba hubba zoot zoot!
Daien01: o.o ...
Daien01: <.< Where the hell...
Daien01: What the hell am I doing here...?
Jak Snide: *w* Ah, results...
XStrike8: *w* Looks like her plan is working... whatever it was.
EbilRyuuzoku: >.> IM: Good he's out of it...
EbilRyuuzoku: *walks up to Daien* *w* I'll explain later, c'mon let's go...
EbilRyuuzoku: *starts dragging him off*
Daien01: O_o;;; What the-...?
EbilRyuuzoku: =^_^= A num num!
GM Archmage: ...Daien! *w*
Daien01: >_< A- ... >.>;;; Hakaril??
GM Archmage: ...get over here! *w*
XStrike8: *w* Sir Daien.... Lets go...
Daien01: >_< What the hell's going on???
Daien01: *walks uncertainly towards Hakaril's location*
GM Archmage: ...I think some fey captured you and decided you were fun to play with.
XStrike8: *w* C'mon, before they notice you're gone.
Jak Snide: In other words, you got forced into a magical happy tea party.
GM Archmage: No, I think Ara negotiated his release.
Daien01: ...
EbilRyuuzoku: *snicker snicker*
Daien01: *twitch* ...
XStrike8: What WAS in that Tea, I wonder.
Daien01: ... e.e ... Move aside, as I change this... "tea party" of theirs into a barbeque.
EbilRyuuzoku: *mimics Daien* Would you like a spot of tea? *cackle*
GM Archmage: Whoa, whoa!
GM Archmage: You can't just fry all those fey...
GM Archmage: ...and besides, they'll fight back.
XStrike8: *restrains a snicker or three*
Daien01: ... Want to bet, Hakaril?
GM Archmage: ......
GM Archmage: Daien.
GM Archmage: We need something from them...
Daien01: ...
Jak Snide: Yeah. Then you can fry them.
GM Archmage: ...don't tell me you forgot to ask, Ara.
Daien01: >_<;;;; Fine...
Jak Snide: Oh, and try not to incinerate Ayra as well.
Daien01: Just thank whatever gods you believe in that I'm tired from all this.
EbilRyuuzoku: Ask....about....GAH!
EbilRyuuzoku: >_> You don't think those are the guys that did that do you?
Jak Snide: IM: Stupid, stupid dragons....
Daien01: Bloody fey...
EbilRyuuzoku: They looked mostly like regular fey to me, not gremlins....there were a few gremlins though o_O;;
Daien01: That's the last time I'm every trusting a damn fey...
GM Archmage: ...quite a few, in fact...
Daien01: *ever
GM Archmage: ...actually, I'd say...*blinks*
GM Archmage: Don't you detect that?
XStrike8: Huh?
XStrike8: o.o
Daien01: ... e.e Okay, I'm giving you 10 minutes, then I'm taking care of this my way.
GM Archmage: *points to a dancing fey wearing a somewhat familiar looking cloak*
EbilRyuuzoku: O_o You're kidding me....
Daien01: <.< ...
Jak Snide: ....hey, Hak, is that cloak flame resistant?
Daien01: ...
XStrike8: Lucky, but where is that pendant?
GM Archmage: ...I wouldn't risk it.
XStrike8: >.>Do you want to risk it?
Jak Snide: Eh, whatever. I'll just be here to back you all up should you fuck up.
GM Archmage: ...what is there to fuck up?
Daien01: ...
Daien01: *twitch* ...
Jak Snide: I dunno. Maybe you'll anger the pixie gods, or some shit like that....
Daien01: ...
GM Archmage: Yes, the pixie gods...*mutters*
XStrike8: A "Mage of Last Resort". Excellent *dripping sarcasm, anyone?*
Daien01: ... >.< I'm losing patience...
GM Archmage: ...Tunare will have my head for mass murder of fey. *razzes Jak*
XStrike8: Enough of this.
XStrike8: Just point me to the pendant.
XStrike8: I'll take care of things.
GM Archmage: ...Fenn...oh, plane of...fuzzy things.
Jak Snide: Bah, whatever....
EbilRyuuzoku: *meanwhile, still dances around*
Daien01: ... >.>?
GM Archmage: Pendant...not seeing it. Cloak...he's wearing it...
GM Archmage: ...ah! *points to a pile of treasure*
Daien01: e_e;; *taps his foot impatiently*
Daien01: <.< ...
XStrike8: Great. That'd slow things down...
GM Archmage: *...which is things like candelabras, paperweights, loose change, and shiny jewelry*
XStrike8: Okay... 9.9 -.- I'm not interested in doing this.. but....
EbilRyuuzoku: O___O
EbilRyuuzoku: IM: Shiney...
Daien01: <.< ...
Daien01: -_-;;;; Guess twins will be twins...
Jak Snide: Hmm?
XStrike8: *concentrates for a moment*
Jak Snide: *looks at Ara*
Jak Snide: IM: Ah....
XStrike8: Vanish. -.- *uses Creeping Darkness on himself*
Daien01: >.> Someone fill me in?
EbilRyuuzoku: Those fey have something important we need, namely the cloak and a pendant thingy..
Jak Snide: We need to get that cloak *points* to destroy some artifacts, and we need to get a pendant back to resotre the sight of some poor, blind, half drow bastard.
EbilRyuuzoku: The cloak we need to neutralize evil artifacts, the pendant is for a blind guy...
Daien01: ... After you take them, I'm giving them the taste of the elements. e.e
Jak Snide: ...say, Daien, just how did they charm you, anyway?
Daien01: ... I... just... Don't... KNOW. O_o;; I... Uh... I saw... A light... <.< I suppose it was that pile...
Daien01: And... Then... I saw them... then... shapes... shadows... then... nothing.
EbilRyuuzoku: Aw leave the fey alone, they're just playing a joke anyways >_>;;
Jak Snide: ...so in other words, you blindly walked towards some shiny stuff, defying the depths of know idiocy?
Daien01: ...
Daien01: *twitch* Listen, when you're in the forest, half-lost...
Jak Snide: ...you're a bloody elf. How do you get lost in a forest?
Daien01: >_< I'm not a wood elf!
Jak Snide: Wood, grey, high, whatever. You're still one bloody race.
EbilRyuuzoku: IM: What's wrong with shiney stuff?
Daien01: e_e ...
Daien01: What. Ever.
GM Archmage: (OK...Creeping Darkness?)
XStrike8: (Jes.)
Daien01: >.< Just... shut up, okay? Shut up. I wouldn't be in this forest if it wasn't for Aya, in any case... e\/e As if the few verbal arguments we've had were not worth more than me saving her scaly ass...
EbilRyuuzoku: <_<;;; So you blame my sister for getting lost?
GM Archmage: (Gotcha.)
EbilRyuuzoku: You can't do that unless she was actually with you ya know...
GM Archmage: *Damian creeps about*
Daien01: No, I blame your sister for having to move around the whole of Doma trying to earn something.
GM Archmage: *mutters*
XStrike8: <.< >.>
GM Archmage: ...quiet, both of you.
Daien01: While your bloody sister sits on her ass and feeds her face off of taxes! e\/e
XStrike8: *Damian slides through the shadows towards the fey with the cloak*
XStrike8: *...attempting to be as stealthy as possible*
EbilRyuuzoku: <.<;; I don't think Aya sets the taxes....
GM Archmage: *and no one notices him*
Daien01: ... e.e She sure as hell recieves them.
GM Archmage: ...I don't think she sits on her ass, either.
EbilRyuuzoku: 'sides you're the one that kept insulting her *shrug* You brought it on yourself Hippy Teaparty Man...
XStrike8: *looks around the thing hoping to find a clasp or something quickly as possible*
Daien01: ...
Jak Snide: Ara, pay him no notice. He's probably just sore 'cause no one will hire him.
KnightsofSquare has left the room.
EbilRyuuzoku: Heh...
Daien01: >.> oh, so "insulting her" is worth firing, even if I saved her...
Daien01: *glares at Jak* You're doing this on purpose... e_e++
EbilRyuuzoku: >_> Just when did you save her anyways?
Jak Snide: And? Deal with it, elf.
Daien01: ...
Daien01: *glares at Jak* ...
Daien01: Gah... *turns away*
Jak Snide: Really, getting worked up over a few words.... you're almost as bad as that Kamos.
XStrike8: IM: Hmm... Hopefully I won't get caught doing this....
Daien01: Whatever.. I don't care. You can all go burn in the hells for all I care anymore.
GM Archmage: *the clasp is a set of bone hooks on the front*
XStrike8: *unclasps all stealthy-panda-like*
Jak Snide: Right. Then why don't you just piss off, eh?
Jak Snide: It's obvious that you don't like us, so why hang around?
Daien01: ...
EbilRyuuzoku: Jak does have a point >_>
Jak Snide: Oh, and you might want to thank Ara here for getting you out of happy tea land.
Daien01: ...
Jak Snide: Just before you fuck off into the woodlands, prancing all the way.
GM Archmage: *Damian unclips the clasp...*
GM Archmage: *...and promptly drops the cloak on the ground*
Daien01: ... While your way of expressing it leaves a lot to be desired... *looks at Ara* Thank you. I owe you one.
GM Archmage: *the fabric thuds to the ground, making a sound that, while largely dampened, is hardly ignored by the nearby dancing fey*
XStrike8: IM: DAMN. *hurries up and picks it up*
GM Archmage: *a number of them turn to look as the cloak apparently flies away on its own*
Jak Snide: *casts his eyes towards the fay camp*
Jak Snide: Oi oi, trouble's brewing, it seems. O_o
XStrike8: *Does his best to creep away... in a different direction from the party*
EbilRyuuzoku: >_> Uh oh....
GM Archmage: *the fey seem a bit dumbfounded for a moment*
Jak Snide: *watches the cloak move around in mid air, apparently of it's own free will*
EbilRyuuzoku: IM: He didn't get the pendant....hmm...maybe...
EbilRyuuzoku: =o.o= *blink*
Daien01: *turns around and looks at the fey* ...
EbilRyuuzoku: Wind?
Jak Snide: Can anyof you create a distraction?
GM Archmage: G: =...wind?=
GM Archmage: Depends. What sort? *smirks*
Daien01: ...
XStrike8: *weaves and dodges seemingly randomly between the trees*
Jak Snide: Something to cover Damian's rear end...'cos I presume that's him going invisible in there.
EbilRyuuzoku: =Dark wind= *shrugs*
Daien01: ... e.e Hmm.. *thinks* ...
EbilRyuuzoku: IM: Gaaah, Ayra shut up!
XStrike8: IM: Dammit dammit dammit.. >.< WOOSH!! I'M THE WIND!!!
Daien01: >.> *w* Do you think they would notice if I summoned something? Would they realize who summoned it?
Daien01: *to Hak*
GM Archmage: *w* I think that might be a bad idea...
GM Archmage: ...perhaps...um...something flashy? *w*
EbilRyuuzoku: =Hey you got pretty shinies= =o.o=
Daien01: *w* Hmm...
XStrike8: *after a minute, moves along a path that would take him a little closer to the party*
GM Archmage: *w* ...Damian. *motions him over*
EbilRyuuzoku: *w* A small lightening spell maybe....gah I wish I knew scatter bleed...forgot that one a while ago...
GM Archmage: *w* I assume you didn't get the pendant...
Daien01: Whatever. What's the worst that could happen? I end up drinking tea again. *smirks* -.-
GM Archmage: ...*w* Lightning?
Jak Snide: *w* Lightning I can do.
XStrike8: *runs towards Hak*
GM Archmage: *nod*
Daien01: ...
Jak Snide: *w* Thing is, it comes from me, so I doubt it'd divert them away from us.
Daien01: *w* Wait, I think I got an idea...
Daien01: *turns around and walks back without explaining what it is*
GM Archmage: ......
EbilRyuuzoku: ......
Jak Snide: ...these elves are mad, I tell you....
AIM T3chie has left the room.
EbilRyuuzoku: *w* I am so not saving his ass next time....
GM Archmage: IM: ...what the hell?
XStrike8: *w* Well, I got one.
AIM T3chie has entered the room.
Daien01: *starts moving off a fair distance from them and starts chanting, for those that may notice*
XStrike8: *w* If I'm lucky, this spell will hold for a little while longer. I think I can find the pendant given ti... o.o
XStrike8: *w* What's Daien doing? o.o
GM Archmage: *w* I have no idea.
Daien01: *starts chanting and gathering magic energies for a summon spell, specifically* -.- ..
EbilRyuuzoku: e_e; Being an idiot?
XStrike8: *w* Hmm... I'm gonna need a diversion of some sort.
XStrike8: Looking through that pile of stuff isn't exactly gonna be fast.
EbilRyuuzoku: *meanwhile, Ayra herself has started poking around at the shiney things*
Daien01: *raises his hands to the sky and finishes the chant* (Summon Eagle Flight)
Jak Snide: *shakes his head*
XStrike8: o.o
GM Archmage: *an eagle pack materializes, soaring over the area...*
XStrike8: Well, that might work, too... I'll be back *dash/creeps towards the pile*
GM Archmage: *...and a large number of them swoop at the fey, causing them to scatter suddenly*
Jak Snide: IM: Worked. Who'd have thought it.
Daien01: IM: Take that, bastards. And thank your Mab that I haven't just torn you to shreds.
EbilRyuuzoku: =o.o= Heeey where is everyone going?
GM Archmage: *the fey are too busy ducking and hiding to pay any attention to Ayra*
XStrike8: *searches the pile for pendants*
Daien01: *grins and nears the others*
Daien01: ... *w* Guess we're even.
EbilRyuuzoku: *w* Whatever, I'm just surprised the fey didn't attack you..
Jak Snide: Guess so. Now let's hope one of them didn't swipe then pendant as they ran.
EbilRyuuzoku: =o.o= Does this mean that these are my shinies?
Daien01: *w to Ara* Too proud to admit, Ara?
GM Archmage: *Damian finds not one, but three pendants, one gold with a tiny crystal at the end, a second silver with a seraphim like adornment, and a third made of silvery metal with a silver thunderbolt hanging from it*
XStrike8: IM: Hmm... when in doubt... *grabs all three*
XStrike8: *goes back towards the others*
GM Archmage: ...*w* Get it?
EbilRyuuzoku: *steals just about all the other shinies left in the pile*
EbilRyuuzoku: o.o Why are we still whispering?
Jak Snide: Because you're idiots.
XStrike8: Got somethin.
XStrike8: 3 pendants.
Jak Snide: Hmm? 3? Let's see 'em.
GM Archmage: ...well then. One of them has to be right.
XStrike8: *holds up all three of the pendants*
EbilRyuuzoku: *scans them*
Daien01: Easy. But first, we get OUT of here.
Jak Snide: (Can Jak use "magical lore" on all 3 of them?)
GM Archmage: (Yes. And Ara is scanning them.)
GM Archmage: *Ara notes that the gold pendant has a focusing crystal which increases the intensity of auras near it*
Jak Snide: (Right. Scratch....12 TP then)
GM Archmage: *the seraph pendant is holy enchanted in some manner, and the thunderbolt one is air/lightning enchanted*
Jak Snide: (Can Jak tell any more than this? o.o)
GM Archmage: (OOC: The seraph pendant is 0/+1 and +2 to resist holy.)
GM Archmage: (The thunderbolt one is +4 to cast and resist air/lightning.)
EbilRyuuzoku: Hmmm *points at the gold pendant* I think it's that one...
Daien01: Hmm...
Daien01: Let's get out of here first, and discuss later.
XStrike8: So we have it. Good good.
Jak Snide: ....let me see that one with the thunderbolt on it.
XStrike8: Sure, I suppose. *hands it to Jak*
Jak Snide: IM: It's about time I got myself some form of usefuly magical trinket.
Jak Snide: *takes it, and examines, looking it over for any details as he begins to walk away from where the fey were*
Daien01: *walking off too*
Daien01: Right. Which one is the right one is easy. We'll just ask if he remembers. If he does, we're sure which one it is.
EbilRyuuzoku: *has skittered off chasing a squirrel*
Jak Snide: (Brian, can I mark the pendant down on Jak's sheet, or should I wait till later?)
GM Archmage: (Mark it.)
Jak Snide: (Ack! Skittering facehugger Ayra!)
XStrike8: (She want's to Implant you with her Wai Seeds!!)
GM Archmage: ...well then. Apparently...our job here is done o_O?
Daien01: ... Okay, now someone fill me in on what the cloak is for.
EbilRyuuzoku: Well we should give the guy back his pendant of course >_>
XStrike8: Simple enough.
GM Archmage: Almost done, then.
XStrike8: And no fighting to speak of.
Daien01: uh... HELLO?
EbilRyuuzoku: I already told you...it's to neutralize some drowish nikumu aritfacts...
Daien01: ...
Daien01: I.. see...
Daien01: If you need any help, just post a notice in the guild or something. Most mercenaries know better than to accept jobs from Doma... But, eh, I guess I'll never learn.
Daien01: >.> Anyway. What Nikumu artifacts are they?
GM Archmage: ...potent ones.
GM Archmage: Why do you care?
Daien01: ...
Daien01: Good question. *walks off*
EbilRyuuzoku: <.< You're not going to use them.
GM Archmage: *rolls his eyes*
XStrike8: Hmph. Leaving already, Sir Daien.
GM Archmage: IM: He's about as pissy as Kamos.
Daien01: ... <.< ... Oh, so you request my presence... Damian, was it? I'm honoured.
Jak Snide: Let him go.
GM Archmage: ...if he wants to leave, he can...
GM Archmage: I don't undertstand why he'd be concerned with our current mission anyway.
XStrike8: I'm not exactly going to stop him.
GM Archmage: I didn't think you were
Daien01: >.> *shrugs* Makes no difference to me. *puts his hands in his robe pockets and stays there* The longer we keep on talking, the longer we'll take to reach the guy's house, eh?
EbilRyuuzoku: Yes, let's go back....
Jak Snide: ...what, do we walk faster when we don't talk?
XStrike8: As you wish. *chuckles and bows lightly*
XStrike8: *walks along*
GM Archmage: *walking as well*
Daien01: ... >.> You pay more attention to where you're going that way. *walking* If Ara's anything like her sister... *smirks*
Daien01: *said, of course, so that Ara can listen*
Daien01: *hear, listen, whatever.
EbilRyuuzoku: ......*snorts*
XStrike8: Hn. I see why the ladies react so badly to you >.>
EbilRyuuzoku: I think I see why my sister doesn't like you....
GM Archmage: *sighs*
EbilRyuuzoku: >_>; Was that comment really nessessary anyways Daien?
Jak Snide: *chuckles* Just take it in your stride, Ara.
Daien01: Pardon me, your highness. So, where is this house? >.>
EbilRyuuzoku: Hakaril knows >.>
GM Archmage: Over there. *points*
Jak Snide: Then lead on, archmagus.
GM Archmage: *leads*
GM Archmage: *after a minute, the group arrives at the house*
Jak Snide: *hangs back again*
XStrike8: Well, that was certainly interesting.
Jak Snide: IM: No combat, no pay. Bugger. Ah well, at least I didn't get smashed this time...and I did get this. *looks at the pendant*
EbilRyuuzoku: I'm sure Ayra had fun, tee hee
XStrike8: Hmm... well, nothin left to do, I suppose, except. *knocks onthe door*
Jak Snide: Well, is someone going to knock on the door?
Daien01: Heh. <.< Wonder if those fey are done running about now.
EbilRyuuzoku: *knocks* Hey!
GM Archmage: *Ethyn, after a few minutes, shows up at the door*
GM Archmage: E: Yes? Who are you, and what do you want?
GM Archmage: E: Oh...you people again. You smell familiar.
EbilRyuuzoku: We found your pendant ^_^
GM Archmage: E: You did? Excellent!
XStrike8: And I wonder. Is that a good thing or a bad thing. *chuckles lightly*
XStrike8: The smell, I mean.
GM Archmage: E: *holds out his hand* May I have it?
EbilRyuuzoku: O.o What do I smell like....?
GM Archmage: E: Dragon.
EbilRyuuzoku: ....oh...
Daien01: ... <.< We have three here. Do you remember what yours looked like?
XStrike8: Hmm. You can smell that, hmm?
Jak Snide: IM: This is where we find out if things will turn sour or not today....
GM Archmage: E: It has a crystal on the end. Made of gold.
EbilRyuuzoku: *points at the gold one* It's that one, can't you tell by the aura?
GM Archmage: E: *takes it from Ara and slips it around his neck shakily*
Jak Snide: ...Ara, remember, not everyone can read aura's?
Daien01: <.< Yes, you were right, it seems.
GM Archmage: E: ...I can see again...!
Jak Snide: (*-?)
Daien01: ...
GM Archmage: E: Thank you...thank you...
GM Archmage: E: You may keep the Weave, as promised.
GM Archmage: E: ...would you like to come in for tea?
Jak Snide: *nods once, eyes possibly betraying his distrust of the half drow to the deamon hunter*
Daien01: *TWITCHES at the mention of tea*
XStrike8: <.< *snickers*
GM Archmage: ...*laughs out loud*
XStrike8: I wouldn't mind some... Tea myself.
EbilRyuuzoku: *snicker* I'd love some tea...
GM Archmage: E: Come in, then, and have a seat.
Daien01: ... You're doing this on purpose! >.<
EbilRyuuzoku: *cackle*
GM Archmage: E: What?
Jak Snide: Erm...*tries to think of an un-blatently rude excuse to get the hell out of there*
Daien01: Let's put it this way. I'm not going to drink tea for at least two years. Bloody fey. >.<
GM Archmage: E: I see. Well, you could always have some gin instead...
Jak Snide: *waits to see what the others will do*
XStrike8: That certainly sounds nice.
Daien01: I'd be grateful for that, on the other hand.
GM Archmage: E: *withdraws into the house*
GM Archmage: ...IM: Nice guy, really, for a hermetic mercenary.
GM Archmage: IM: Maybe even hermits like company sometimes?
EbilRyuuzoku: Gin? Oh yeah! O___O
Daien01: <.< So, you're a mercenary, eh?
Daien01: *follows in*
Jak Snide: *decides that the prospect of trecking back to Doma isn't that great, and aproaches the doorway cautiously, although he tries to hide it*
GM Archmage: E: *takes down a bottle and pours glasses*
XStrike8: Hmm... if I may ask, what kind of tea are we having?
Daien01: ...
GM Archmage: E: Yes, I used to be a mercenary...and herbal tea, made from homegrown plants, right here in the forest.
Daien01: ...
EbilRyuuzoku: It said in the books you killed a lot of demons o_o
Daien01: >.> Hmm.. *nods*
GM Archmage: E: That would be the case. *sips at tea* Ethryn "Shadowchaser" Prynne, they called me.
EbilRyuuzoku: o.o Oooooh...
GM Archmage: E: Been a few years since I picked up a weapon and hunted anything at all.
EbilRyuuzoku: Why'd ya stop?
GM Archmage: E: Except for eating, of course.
XStrike8: Hmm... another wandering shadow.
GM Archmage: E: Why do you think?
XStrike8: *nods*
XStrike8: I can certainly understand that.
Jak Snide: Something got his eyes, no doubt.
Jak Snide: *not drinking anything*
GM Archmage: E: I lost my sight to a balor. That *utters a drow curse*...seared my eyes with unholy flames.
Jak Snide: *flinches*
Daien01: ... A ... balor? Eck.. That's..
GM Archmage: IM: *blinks* That's an epithet that roughly equates to "tree-fucker." o_O
XStrike8: If I may ask.. what sort of creature is a Balor? o.o
Jak Snide: IM: And he knows that blasted language as well..
EbilRyuuzoku: o.o I've heard of those...you don't see them much in Ayenee....
GM Archmage: IM: Weird epithet to use describing a balor...maybe he has some weird hatred against wood elves...
GM Archmage: E: Enormous demons, fire, swords the size of men, everything in the textbook. Just like the description of hell's minions given by most who have nightmares about them.
XStrike8: Hm. -.-
EbilRyuuzoku: *frowns* How enourmous?
Daien01: -.- T*to the others*: I know I usually have no tact, but I don't think he's having fun saying how he lost his eyesight..
GM Archmage: E: Two, three times as tall as any human or elf.
EbilRyuuzoku: *frowns* Are there larger versions? I remember fighting something that sounded like that a while ago, but it was way bigger and it had a whip IM: Damn thing almost killed me...
XStrike8: So now you live here.
XStrike8: Do you enjoy it?
GM Archmage: E: Might be. Rumors fly, but I have yet to see one, and probably never will.
GM Archmage: E: ...at the very least, I can relax here. No longer it is kill or be killed.
GM Archmage: E: No more chasing the shadows...
XStrike8: *nods* Hm.... I can certainly understand how you feel.
GM Archmage: That crystal necklace...it improves your astral sight, doesn't it? Lets you see without actually seeing...
GM Archmage: E: Yes. The royal family gave it to me when I lost my vision before I was dismissed.
XStrike8: I see. Glasses, of a sort.
XStrike8: *sips at his tea somewhat*
GM Archmage: E: A bit more complicated, I think.
Daien01: Hmm... Interesting.
GM Archmage: E: *sips at his own tea*
Daien01: <.< Speaking of necklaces, who's taking the other one? *sips at his gin*
EbilRyuuzoku: >.> I don't need it, I already have one
GM Archmage: *appears lost in thought*
Daien01: So do I. *shrugs*
EbilRyuuzoku: *looks down at the Seeds of Balance*
EbilRyuuzoku: Maybe you should have it Damien?
XStrike8: What's it do, if I may ask?
GM Archmage: I think it's holy enchanted. Helps defend against light energy.
Daien01: hmm...
EbilRyuuzoku: Against it? o.O Tai would probably like that....
XStrike8: Hmm... I don't have any particular problems with Light energy..
Daien01: Just one thing worries me... >.> Won't the fey do something now we've stolen part of their treasure? Don't really know, just wondering...
XStrike8: But.. hmm...that could certainly be useful.
EbilRyuuzoku: *thinks* Thought he already has that other pendant of his which is his sword...hmm...
XStrike8: Hmm... >:\
XStrike8: Hopefully they don't know WHO has their stuff.
EbilRyuuzoku: Well they stole it in the first place...
XStrike8: I mean, if you run off and leave your treasures in the woods... *shrugs*
Daien01: <.< Ara, you go tell them that if they do do something.
GM Archmage: They probably won't notice.
EbilRyuuzoku: Yea, they're fey not dragons....they won't get all picky over their hoards.. *waves a hand dismissivly*
GM Archmage: ...fey have the attention span of children.
XStrike8: They might have forgotten... hmm...
Jak Snide: *keeps as silent as before, but toys with the pendant around his neck with a finger*
Daien01: e\/e This is the second time I've had a fight with fey... Bloody bastards. >.<
Daien01: Next time they'll be fertilizing the soil. >_<+
Jak Snide: IM: Wow....threatening...
GM Archmage: *smirks*
GM Archmage: E: Fey. *sips his tea* Occasionally annoying. Nothing more.
XStrike8: Hmm... Sir Hakaril.
GM Archmage: Yeah?
XStrike8: Any chance that you might know what this cloak does, exactly? o.o
XStrike8: Or might that require study?
XStrike8: *holds up the weave*
GM Archmage: Study. It's not just a simple enchantment.
Daien01: ... You're speaking to one who passed through ten hells to get... Oh, forget it. >.<
XStrike8: Yes, Sir Daien? >.>
EbilRyuuzoku: <.< Eh?
Daien01: Nothing. Just trust me when I tell you fey are bastards and go burnt on sight.
GM Archmage: *smirks and rolls his eyes*
Daien01: >.> You should know how it feels, Hakaril.
XStrike8: Hmm? o.o
XStrike8: Hmmm... -.-
EbilRyuuzoku: Oooh, you talkign about that whole Righte thing Daien?
EbilRyuuzoku: I'll give it to you on that, Righte IS a bastard e.e;;
XStrike8: Righte, hmm? I see.
XStrike8: So how's that tea taste, Ara?
Daien01: I'm really grateful for your help that day, A- ...
XStrike8: And how about your drink Daien?
GM Archmage: ...so, is there a Lefte? *smirks*
Daien01: Hm.. Fine, Damian.
Daien01: ... And, Hakaril. Shut up. Just... Shut up. -.o;
Jak Snide: *shifts in his seat, obviously unconfortable*
GM Archmage: *sips tea and smiles*
XStrike8: Hakaril.
XStrike8: >.> Is there something wrong, Sir Jak?
GM Archmage: ...IM: I think I know.
Daien01: >.> ... Yes, something wrong?
XStrike8: The tea tends to calm my nerves when I have matters on the brain. *sips* It's probably my only vice, as I drink the stuff too much sometimes.
XStrike8: -.-
GM Archmage: (Color?)
Jak Snide: Hm? Oh, nothing.
GM Archmage: IM: My ass.
XStrike8: (*ties Blue color to a rock and throws it into the Marianas Trench*)
Jak Snide: ...and don't call me sir Jak. I'm not bloody royalty....
GM Archmage: Bloody royalty tends to indicate a revolution.
GM Archmage: ...we haven't had one of those in a while, have we?
EbilRyuuzoku: >_> Sis won't like that.
GM Archmage: I wasn't suggesting it.
XStrike8: Well... what will you do now, Miss Ara, Sir Hakaril?
Jak Snide: ....look, just don't give me a title or nothing. I'm not the sort that suits them.
XStrike8: *nods* Fine with me... Jak.
GM Archmage: Go back to the castle, research the Weave, and look for the last artifact...
Jak Snide: *nods*
XStrike8: Any clues?
GM Archmage: ...hints here and there. I'm uncertain as of now.
Daien01: Surprised that Jak here is interested in helping. Last time we fought together, he was laughing like a madman and throwing random spells. <.<
GM Archmage: *chuckles*
XStrike8: Hmm... -.-
Jak Snide: What, you mean against that wretched demon?
EbilRyuuzoku: What is the last artifact?
Daien01: Yes. Barak. <.<
GM Archmage: Order's Edge.
Jak Snide: Well, he really pissed me off, and I lost my temper. Happens to everyone.
Daien01: Sure... >.>
XStrike8: Order's Edge. Hmm.
Jak Snide: *coughs* Probably a sword, or some other weapon
EbilRyuuzoku: Most likely yes...
EbilRyuuzoku: How do these artifacts all get put together and stuff? o.o
GM Archmage: ...I don't know yet.
GM Archmage: We'll figure it out, yes?
XStrike8: In any case, is everyone ready?
GM Archmage: I am.
GM Archmage: E: Leaving? *sips his tea*
Daien01: Same here. >.> ....
GM Archmage: E: I still have gin l eft...
XStrike8: I want to thank you, Sir Ethyn, for having us.
Jak Snide: *stands quickly, happy at the chance to get out of there*
GM Archmage: E: Come back sometime.
XStrike8: I believe I shall.
GM Archmage: E: ...since I have no need to go out and hunt hellspawn anymore, I happen to have become quite a good card player.
GM Archmage: E: Perhaps you would join me sometime?
XStrike8: Really? I might have to play against you sometime.
Daien01: Hmm... o.o Interesting. Maybe I should sometime, too. *nods* Thanks for your hospitality.
GM Archmage: E: Not a problem.
EbilRyuuzoku: *nods and stands* Thanks for the tea ^_^
XStrike8: *gets up from the table, and starts towards the door*
EbilRyuuzoku: o.o Hey how come you live out in the forest alone anyways?
GM Archmage: E: ...people irritate me most of the time. Besides...
Daien01: *follows Damian towards the door*
GM Archmage: E: *holds up his hand and looks at it* I get a lot of...distrust.
Daien01: *instinctively throws a look at Jak* <.<
GM Archmage: We'll come back and visit sometime. ^_^
GM Archmage: *waves and walks out the door*
XStrike8: *goes over to Ethyn and shakes his hand*
Jak Snide: *walks out hurridly*
Daien01: *nods and walks out*
XStrike8: I hope to see you again.
EbilRyuuzoku: *waves at him as she leaves* ^_^ Bye!
XStrike8: *waves. amd walks out*
GM Archmage: *shuts the door and marches off towards Doma* I'm headed back to the castle.
EbilRyuuzoku: o.o Wow, that was nothing like getting the seeds at all! It feels good not to have my spine crushed...
EbilRyuuzoku: ...oh yea, me too...
GM Archmage: ...you want me to make sure you don't get lost? >_>
Jak Snide: *mutters* ..head back to Doma...
XStrike8: That was most interesting. Perhaps I might come with you all the next time you travel.
GM Archmage: Feel free...I've got nothing against you.
Daien01: Well, I'm going back to the city. I spent far too long, so I gotta hurry. See ya! *doesn't wait for the others to reply or anything as he runs off*
EbilRyuuzoku: Yea o.o You did good getting the cloak...eh?
GM Archmage: *sighs* That man...
EbilRyuuzoku: o_O That was abrupt...
Jak Snide: ...good ridance. *still muttering*
XStrike8: What about him?
GM Archmage: Nothing, and everything.
Daien01: *gives them a small wave as he's leaving, but nothing more*
GM Archmage: *mutters* I'll never understand him.
XStrike8: Oh, I think I understand him quite well enough. -.-
GM Archmage: ...hm.
EbilRyuuzoku: Daien? He's just an ass that doesn't like Aya, or probably me for that matter >.>; Even though I helped save his girlfriend.
GM Archmage: *shrugs*
Jak Snide: *not really paying attention, begins to veer off away from the main group, not really paying attention where he's going*
XStrike8: Well, Perhaps we can look into those books for a short time, Sir Hakaril?
Jak Snide: *exit Jak*
GM Archmage: Yes, perhaps.
Daien01 has left the room.
Jak Snide: </Jak>
Jak Snide has left the room.
XStrike8: But for now... I think I'll be at the Jade Dragon.
GM Archmage: ...alright. I'll head back to my office. See you around.
GM Archmage: </GM>
EbilRyuuzoku: *frowns* ....something of great importance in Ayenee, gah I forgot! *disappears*
