Arch mage144: OK, we start now, JES!?

AdamSquint: <Squintz, Paladin of Mithra>
FFFan80: <Stephan, Grumpy Swordie>
dragonclawsedw: =<.<= .... =>.>= ..... *sneak sneak*
AdamSquint: *standing guard....like always*
Arch mage144: *It was an unsuspecting day in Doma as three of its inhabitants lounged around the castle...*
Arch mage144: *and, of course, none of them had any idea what they were about to become drawn into...*
dragonclawsedw: IM: I'm sneaky like blue haired ninja man person!
FFFan80: ¬_¬ *sigh*
FFFan80: -\/-; IM: Why did I agree to do this?!
FFFan80: ........
AdamSquint: o_o
FFFan80: e_e; *pokes one of the 'alert' guards* Hey you...
dragonclawsedw: *"sneaks" past Stephan*
Arch mage144: Guard: o_o Yeah?
FFFan80: ....
FFFan80: -\/-; *sigh*
FFFan80: e_e ...you know where some white mage named 'Kylie' is?
AdamSquint: IM: ...this is a boring job.
Arch mage144: G: Erm...no, I'm afraid I don't.
FFFan80: IM: ...I think that's her name...
Arch mage144: G: You could check the white mage's barracks or something...
dragonclawsedw: (Doesn't even know her name! Shame on him!)
Arch mage144: G: They're down the hall, past General Silvar's office.
dragonclawsedw: IM: Now the sneaky ninja of DOOM strikes!
dragonclawsedw: RAWR! *pounces the guard*
Arch mage144: G: O_O
FFFan80: IM: Past the tight asses' office? Woohoo... e_e;;;
FFFan80: O_o;;;;
AdamSquint: *looks at the sun*
Arch mage144: G: HOLY...
AdamSquint: IM: ...about done...
FFFan80: *whips his sword out* e\/e
Arch mage144: G: *tackled by a little catgirl*
FFFan80: .......
dragonclawsedw: =o.o= *climbs onto the guard's head*
FFFan80: ............
AdamSquint: *turns and walks toward the guard barracks*
dragonclawsedw: =^_^= I win!
FFFan80: 6_6;;; ...the @#$?
Arch mage144: *Hakaril walks past the guard, Ayra, and Stephan*
FFFan80: IM: ...I must be going #$#ing nuts, she looks like lizard girl...
Arch mage144: H: Ah, hello Ayra. ^_^ Keep up the good work!
AdamSquint: *walks up to the guard*
AdamSquint: ...o_o;;
dragonclawsedw: =^_^= Thank you Mister Hakaril!
Arch mage144: H: Oh, and hi Steve...and...Squintz!
FFFan80: ....*facepalms*
AdamSquint: Hello, Hakaril. *bows*
FFFan80: ¬\/¬ ...nice training for your soldiers... 'general' XP
Arch mage144: H: Squintz, I've been meaning to seek you out.
dragonclawsedw: =o.o= *looks at Stephan* Oh I know you ....you're that really grouchy guy right?
Arch mage144: H: ...we need to talk. It's important.
AdamSquint: what is it about? *curious*
FFFan80: ......
FFFan80: e_e;;;; ....maybe.
FFFan80: 6\/6 ...who're you?
Arch mage144: H: ...*glances around*
dragonclawsedw: =o.o= I'm Ayra...
Arch mage144: H: ...a certain item you might have picked up.
AdamSquint: *nod* Which one? Wraithslayer?
Arch mage144: H: Aya mentioned it to me...you found it in a lich's barrows.
AdamSquint: ...oh, THAT one.
FFFan80: ......
FFFan80: IM: Oh my @#$#@ing god...
AdamSquint: *reaches into his robes to find it* I put it here sometime...
Arch mage144: H: O_O
dragonclawsedw: =o.o= What?
AdamSquint: *finds it* Here we go!
Arch mage144: H: Don't get it out here!
Arch mage144: H: o_o;;;
AdamSquint: o_o sorry. ^^;;
AdamSquint: I do have it, though.
dragonclawsedw: =^_^= You know Oneeane Aya....
FFFan80: e_e;;; IM: ...what is it with these 'Ryuuzoku', do they just clone each other instead of @#$#ing to have kids?
FFFan80: ....
Arch mage144: H: Good...erm...I think you ought to come to my office...
FFFan80: 6\/6? ...'Oneeane'?
AdamSquint: *nod*
dragonclawsedw: =o.o= And Oneeane Ara maybe.....
Arch mage144: H: ...shit. We're going to need some help, most likely.
dragonclawsedw: Older sister silly!
FFFan80: ....oh.
AdamSquint: ...help? What's the matter?
Arch mage144: H: Er, Ayra?
Arch mage144: H: Is your sister around? Either of them?
dragonclawsedw: =o.o= Ummm....
FFFan80: You're asking the Queen for help?
dragonclawsedw: Oneeane Aya's off at some place with Ani....
Arch mage144: H: ...damnit.
FFFan80: Why, the 'many' brave guards here not enough help for ya >:D
dragonclawsedw: Uuuuh.....Oneeane Ara's working =o.o=
Arch mage144: H: Brave guards, eh? *smirks*
AdamSquint: ...
Arch mage144: H: ...no, I need someone more capable to help me with this.
dragonclawsedw: =>.<= *looks like she's concentrating hard*
AdamSquint: *looks over Stephan* Perhaps he could do? He certainly seems a bit more..competant...than some of the people here...
dragonclawsedw: Uuuuh....Oneeane Aya's head is messed up right now...
Arch mage144: H: Maybe. You up for a little adventure, Stephan? *grins*
FFFan80: .....?
Arch mage144: H: Perhaps make a little money in the process...
FFFan80: ¬_¬ ...what's in it for me?
AdamSquint: *mental facepalm*
Arch mage144: H: ...whatever you want. I'm willing to reward you for your assistance.
Arch mage144: H: The alternative is dragging a squad of guards.
dragonclawsedw: *hops of the terrified guard's head*
FFFan80: ....heh....
Arch mage144: G: *resumes his post nervously*
AdamSquint: ...A squad of guards...
FFFan80: Then it'd better be something big XP
dragonclawsedw: =o.o= Whatcha doing?
AdamSquint: *thinks of when the guards were brought last time*
Arch mage144: H: Whatever you want...er...well Ayra...
Arch mage144: H: Grown up stuff.
AdamSquint: *shudder*
dragonclawsedw: =o.o= I can do grown up stuff!
Arch mage144: H: ...really...what does "oneeane" think of that?
dragonclawsedw: =o.o= Not much, she's having trouble thinking right now *sage nod*
FFFan80: ¬_¬; IM: She's probably too plastered at ye old 'Jade Dragon' to care, I'd bet.
Arch mage144: H: Is she drunk constantly or something o_O?
dragonclawsedw: She's gotta bad headache
FFFan80: ....*cracks up*
AdamSquint: ...
dragonclawsedw: She's um....far away *points in whatever direction Gunnir is*
Arch mage144: H: ......*blinks slowly*
Arch mage144: H: Right...
teh Dia has entered the room.
dragonclawsedw: *noddles* Far away.
AdamSquint: I do not think that this child would be viable...she's too young. o.o
Arch mage144: H: Actually.
Arch mage144: H: She LOOKS like a little kid...
dragonclawsedw: =>.<= I am not too young!
dragonclawsedw: *pout*
Arch mage144: H: But I bet she packs a punch. o.o
dragonclawsedw: Yeah!
AdamSquint: ...you sure?
dragonclawsedw: I kicked a dragoon in the face!!! RAWR!
KnightsofSquare has entered the room.
Arch mage144: H: o_o;;;
FFFan80: .....riiiiiiight.....
Arch mage144: H: Well, uh...
Arch mage144: H: I guess we can take Ayra...
AdamSquint: ...umm...
AdamSquint: o_o;;
dragonclawsedw: And I got his helmet too and Robert was all jealous! *proud proud*
FFFan80: ...you're kidding, right? ¬_¬;;
Arch mage144: H IM: How embarrassing. Beween my own soldiers and a 12 year old girl...I choose a little girl.
Arch mage144: H IM: Even I know the Doman forces are poorly trained >.<
Arch mage144: H: ...nah.
Arch mage144: H: She's related to Aya.
AdamSquint: Hmm...true...
Arch mage144: H: And Aya's the Eternal Dragon Warrior!
FFFan80: 6\/6;; *gestures Hak to the side, thinking he's out of earshot*
Arch mage144: H: Therefore, the sister of such a person MUST be pretty strong, right?
FFFan80: >\/>++ *w* ...SHE'S A LITTLE KID!
AdamSquint: *looks at Ayra closely*
dragonclawsedw: =o.o= I'm death.
AdamSquint: IM: She doesn't LOOK like a dragon...
AdamSquint: o_o DEATH?
Arch mage144: H: ...and she's the grim reaper.
FFFan80: o.o -.- O_o;
FFFan80: ....EH?
Arch mage144: H: Yeah...OK. We're taking Ayra.
dragonclawsedw: =^_^= ...
Arch mage144: H: Come on. Everyone into my office. We've got some things to discuss.
dragonclawsedw: Shhhh....=>.>=
AdamSquint: *if it could, jaw would drop comically*
AdamSquint: *nods and follows*
dragonclawsedw: A lotta people get scared when I tell them that....
FFFan80: e\/e+++ I've got a few thing's I'd like ta sa...
FFFan80: ................
FFFan80: >.<++ IM: ...money, money... shuttup...
Arch mage144: H: *holds the door open*
AdamSquint: *walks inside*
FFFan80: <\/< *follows others in*
dragonclawsedw: *skitters in*
dragonclawsedw: Mister Hakaril do you have any more catnip?
Arch mage144: H: *motions everyone to have a seat and takes a seat of his own behind his desk*
Arch mage144: H: Uhm...later, Ayra.
Arch mage144: H: I keep it around for Noire. ^_^
AdamSquint: *sits*
dragonclawsedw: =o.o= Otay.
FFFan80: IM: catnip? Good thing Dan's not here
dragonclawsedw: *sits*
Arch mage144: H: Squintz...take out...the Lens.
AdamSquint: *nods, and takes it from his robes*
FFFan80: IM: *mental image of Dan glomping Ayra and yelling 'WAI'* -_-;;;
AdamSquint: Here.
Arch mage144: H: *takes the Lens and holds it up for all to see*
FFFan80: ....?
dragonclawsedw: =o.o= Ooooo....shiney.
FFFan80: ..since when do you need glasses?
AdamSquint: that thing's pretty potent..it gave Her Highness quite a zap...
Arch mage144: *the Lens is a piece of glass roughly 8 inches in diameter, with many colors swirling within its surface*
Arch mage144: ...no kidding it's potent.
FFFan80: 9.9 ...it's some kind of magic thing, then?
AdamSquint: *nods slowly*
Arch mage144: ...this Lens was crafted by the followers of Nikumu to amplify their power with his will. I've been hearing reports of cults springing up all over Igala recently.
AdamSquint: o_o
dragonclawsedw: =o.o= Who's Nikumuuuu? *swings her legs while she sits*
Arch mage144: Nikumu, Ayra, is the god of hate.
AdamSquint: IM: Nikumu was the one that revived Xzar'il...eVe
dragonclawsedw: =o.o= Is he mean?
Arch mage144: ...yes Ayra.
dragonclawsedw: Oh...I don't like mean people... *nod*
Arch mage144: Nikumu is...assuming you read good and evil subjectively...on the evil side of things.
FFFan80: <\/< IM: Good, then she'll leave me alone...
AdamSquint: ...well, he's the God of Hate...
Arch mage144: This is true.
FFFan80: ...dunno if I'd say that...
AdamSquint: ...hate is rarely good...
FFFan80: e_e ...sometimes hate can be justified...
dragonclawsedw: So he's like Shababingo?
Arch mage144: ...Stephan, there's a difference between grumpy and hateful.
Arch mage144: You have no idea what the followers of hate...are...capable of...
Arch mage144: *Hakaril appears to be slightly distressed*
FFFan80: o.ó?
Arch mage144: Shaba......what?
dragonclawsedw: Shababingo! Big mean dark god!
FFFan80: ...any paticular reason you'd like to share with us?
Arch mage144: ...no, Stephan, and especially not with someone like you. *faraway stare* ...you'd mock me anyway.
dragonclawsedw: =o.o= He's the reason Oneeane Ara was killed =u.u=
AdamSquint: ...They are capable of pure evil...eVe
Arch mage144: ...it doesn't matter.
Arch mage144: The point is...this artifact is part of a set.
AdamSquint: ..a set?
dragonclawsedw: =o.o= Shiny...
FFFan80: o.ó? ...well, what the hell does it do?
Arch mage144: It's shiny, Ayra, but very dangerous.
Arch mage144: ...if a wizard casts a spell through it, the spell is amplified...
Arch mage144: *goes over to a bookshelf and gets out a very old and quite dusty leatherbound tome*
dragonclawsedw: IM: Where's Hakaril's kitty?
Arch mage144: *sets the Lens on the desk and flips through the book, turning it around to show a book with very yellowed pages and and a diagram of the Lens*
FFFan80: *coughs from dust* >.e;
Arch mage144: It says here that the spell is amplified by the caster's rage, among other things.
dragonclawsedw: IM: I wanna pet the kitty....
FFFan80: .........maybe I should hold onto it then... ehehe >:-]
Arch mage144: The caster, however, suffers for using such a force to power their spell, as a wave of negatie energy washes back on them.
FFFan80: .........
AdamSquint: ...
Arch mage144: ...continued use and exposure to negative energy can result in the caster becoming an incorporeal wraith.
FFFan80: .....nevermind....
dragonclawsedw: IM: Kitties are wai....
AdamSquint: ...horrible.
dragonclawsedw: *stares off into space*
Arch mage144: I thought you mind change your opinion.
Arch mage144: *flips through a few more pages*
Arch mage144: Ayra, are you listening?
dragonclawsedw: =o.o= Wha?
Arch mage144: ...nevermind.
Arch mage144: *stops page turning at a page with a sketch of what appears to be a stafflike object*
AdamSquint: ..what is that?
Arch mage144: *the staff has a decorative tip shaped something like the recognized religious symbol for Nikumu*
Arch mage144: ...this is the Staff of Unrelenting Anger.
Arch mage144: Guess who created it?
AdamSquint: ...Nikumu?
dragonclawsedw: An angry person?
FFFan80: ¬_¬ IM: ....duh.
Arch mage144: ...right, Squintz...and Ayra, too...
AdamSquint: ...>_>;;
Arch mage144: It channels the wielder's rage into a very focused form.
Arch mage144: If used by one who is merely upset, it might be able to wound or kill.
AdamSquint: ...but someone with a great rage...o_o
Arch mage144: If used by someone genuinely angered or in great emotional turmoil...
Arch mage144: *nods*
Arch mage144: ...and combined with the Lens...
Arch mage144: It could be used to level cities.
AdamSquint: I see...
FFFan80: IM: ...damn, that would be powerful....
dragonclawsedw: =u.u= I'd have to work overtime *pouts*
FFFan80: 6\/6;;; IM: ...wonder if Lizard Girl knows her sister is nuts...
Arch mage144: No human is capable of that much anger.
Arch mage144: Only creatures of the plane of hate could achieve that...
Arch mage144: ...luckily, the staff has been, apparently, lost.
AdamSquint: GOOD.
FFFan80: e_e++ ....I dunno Hak.... you've never seen members of my family pissed.
AdamSquint: ...but what should we do about this lens?
Arch mage144: ...unfortunately, Squintz...
Arch mage144: I think I may have found it.
AdamSquint: ....
FFFan80: ....YOU found it?
Arch mage144: Er, well, I didn't FIND it.
Arch mage144: I know where it IS.
Arch mage144: ...I think.
dragonclawsedw: =o.o= You should brake it *nods*
AdamSquint: *swears, which is unlike him* Shit.
FFFan80: <\/< ...sure, let's try to break something a GOD made... nice plan -\/-;
dragonclawsedw: If it's broken then it can't be used by mean people....
Arch mage144: Well...
Arch mage144: ...perhaps I should show you something.
AdamSquint: What is it?
dragonclawsedw: =o.o=
FFFan80: o.ó?
Arch mage144: *stands up, walks over to his bookshelf again, and gets out a very thick black book*
dragonclawsedw: IM: I like kitties....
Arch mage144: *sets it on the desk and opens it*
teh Dia: =-.-= *a diminutive, ebony-furred, sleek feline struts into Hakaril's study, as if it were her own office, wings folded carefully against her back, an oddly-shaped, grey bundle hanging from her mouth*
Arch mage144: ...er...here's how I found it...
Arch mage144: *points to a passage*
FFFan80: 6\/6? *glances over a shoulder*
AdamSquint: *looks at the passage*
dragonclawsedw: Kitty! =^_^= *scoots over to Noire*
teh Dia: =-.e= *surveys the room's occupants, deigns to dip her head at Hakaril, and trots over toward Ayra*
FFFan80: .......AH! *jumps*
FFFan80: <_<;;; >_>;;;
dragonclawsedw: =Hello= =^_^=
AdamSquint: *looks at Noire, then goes back to the book*
teh Dia: =9.9= *muffled* Mrow. *stretches up against Ayra's thigh and bats at her hand, as if to tell her to hold it out*
FFFan80: @_o;;;
FFFan80: ......
FFFan80: e_e;;; IM: Oh... just a regular cat....
FFFan80: ......
FFFan80: o_O
Arch mage144: It is said that the supposedly lost "Staff of Unrelenting Anger," once wielded by the mighty wizard of hate, Wre'pat, was misplaced by the wizard while he was exploring the Shuman Mountains.
FFFan80: O_O;;; IM: ...with...wings...*URK*
teh Dia: *stretches her wings out, just to spite Stephan*
AdamSquint: ...misplaced?
Arch mage144: It goes on to pinpoint the supposed battle in which he may have lost the item.
AdamSquint: ...how do you misplace a powerful artifact like that?
Arch mage144: According to this text...
dragonclawsedw: *puts out her hand*
FFFan80: *seems to be edging behind Squintz and Hakaril* >_>;;;;;
teh Dia: =^_^= *drops the furry bundle into Ayra's hand*
dragonclawsedw: =o.o= *peers at it*
Arch mage144: ...the staff was wrested from his control as a result of a duel with the arch magus Julius Hawthorne III.
teh Dia: *which promptly uncurls to nuzzle Ayra's hand blindly, mewing slightly* =-.-=
AdamSquint: ...ah.
Arch mage144: ...the founder of the Gunnir Academy.
dragonclawsedw: WAI!
dragonclawsedw: *snuggles the kitten*
teh Dia: =^_^= *fairly exudes pride*
teh Dia: =>_>=
Arch mage144: ...er, Noire...there you are.
teh Dia: T2Hak: Tell her to be careful with my baby!
dragonclawsedw: Look Noire's a mommy! =^_^=
FFFan80: =>_>=;;;;; IM: Cat... not normal... @_o;;; Evil... plotting against me....
Arch mage144: ...don't squeeze the kitten too hard, Ayra.
dragonclawsedw: =o.o= Okies I'll be very gentle *nods*
Arch mage144: ...anyway.
Arch mage144: Seeing as how it was lost in the mountains...during a duel with the founder...
teh Dia: *glances over a wing at the others in the room, temporarily fixing a green eye on Stephan*
dragonclawsedw: (Stephan's a nekojin >XD)
AdamSquint: ..it should still be there?
Arch mage144: And the only record of anyone surviving direct combat with archmage Hawthorne III...
teh Dia: *then hops up on Ayra's shoulder* =n_n=
Arch mage144: ...it should be...
Arch mage144: *gets out a map*
FFFan80: >_> *glanced at* O_O; *URKS*
teh Dia: *begins grooming Ayra, as if she were her kitten, mrring deeply*
dragonclawsedw: *pets the kitten* =^_^=
Arch mage144: *points and draws a circle in white energy around a small section of the Shuman fairly close to Gunnir*
Arch mage144: Around here.
AdamSquint: ...does anyone else know?
teh Dia: =-.-= *and in the manner of very very young kittens, just kinda sits there and is held, occassionally kneading Ayra's paw*
FFFan80: >_>;;; *tries to focus on the task at hand* S...so we gotta go there, then?
Arch mage144: ...probably.
AdamSquint: ...who else do you think?
Arch mage144: Er, I was trying to take a nap the other day...
dragonclawsedw: Mrrr *pets gently*
FFFan80: ...and exactly how did you 'stuble' across a weapon of great EVIL anyways, Hak? ¬_¬
Arch mage144: ...and I felt this massive "ping" on the astral. Woke me right up.
AdamSquint: o.o
dragonclawsedw: =Your baby is so wai=
Arch mage144: ...I guarantee I wasn't the only one who felt that.
AdamSquint: ....
AdamSquint: So...what do you suggest we do?
Arch mage144: ...we're going looking for it.
FFFan80: Actually...
AdamSquint: ..before someone else gets it?
Arch mage144: Exactly.
FFFan80: <.<? ...Mid did seem distracted this morning when we were f...
FFFan80: .........
Arch mage144: ......
Arch mage144: Really o_o?
teh Dia: =o_o= *pauses a moment to decipher Ayra's message, and replies to her in draconic* =Thank you=
AdamSquint: IM: ESPECIALLY Xzar'il..
FFFan80: <.<;;;;;; ...having breakfast.
AdamSquint: o_o;;;
dragonclawsedw: Oh yay we're looking for stuff and going on adventures and all!
Arch mage144: Mid's learning to sense astral waves like that!?
Arch mage144: Fantastic! ^_^
Arch mage144: He's becoming more talented every day!
dragonclawsedw: IM: Robert will be so jealous! =^V^=
dragonclawsedw: IM: Ohohohoho!
FFFan80: ....uh, yeah... woohoo. >_>;
Arch mage144: ...anyway...
AdamSquint: o.o
Arch mage144: ...I also have a really bad feeling I can't explain...
teh Dia: =<_<= *jealous jealous* =>_>=
Arch mage144: ...wait.
AdamSquint: wait?
Arch mage144: Ayra. Did you say Aya was at Gunnir?
dragonclawsedw: Oneeane Ara was complaining about something..
Arch mage144: ...and she had a headache?
Arch mage144: ...how did she get it. e_e
dragonclawsedw: Yeah, she said she had a bad headache..
dragonclawsedw: Ummm.....
dragonclawsedw: She didn't tell me but Ara knows because she heard her better...
teh Dia: =e_e=
Arch mage144: ...can you get ahold of Ara and find out?
dragonclawsedw: =o.o= Ara's working in the Jade Dragon right now...
AdamSquint: *starts getting lost in thought*
FFFan80: ...*glances down*
Arch mage144: Can't you communicate with her telepathically, or something?
dragonclawsedw: =u.u= I'm bad at telepathy....I can't do it like Oneeane....
Arch mage144: Great. >_<
FFFan80: O_o;;;; *skitters back behind the others away from the semi-moody kitty*
dragonclawsedw: =o.o= We can go ask Oneeane Ara...
Arch mage144: ...we're headed to the Jade Dragon first, then, because we need to discuss some things with her as well.
dragonclawsedw: Otay *noddles*
teh Dia: T2Hak: Hmph. SURE. GO on adventures when *I* have to take care of my kitten! I see how it is. =e_e=
dragonclawsedw: *pets the kitten*
Arch mage144: Does anyone have any objection to the plans?
AdamSquint: *nod*
AdamSquint: None at all.
FFFan80: O_o;;; ...huh?
FFFan80: o.o -.-
dragonclawsedw: =Does wai kitten have a name?=
FFFan80: Uh... no, whatever.
Arch mage144: ...wai kitten's name is...
teh Dia: *climbs her way down Ayra's front, scooping up her kitten as she jumps to the floor with an inaudible "tap" as she spreads her wings to slow her descent*
Arch mage144: Kawa.
Arch mage144: *nods sagely*
dragonclawsedw: =^_^= WAI!
Arch mage144: Kawa wai indeed.
dragonclawsedw: =Take good care of Kawa= =^_^=
Arch mage144: ...right. o_o Let's go to the Jade Dragon...
Arch mage144: -V- I'm worried about something.
FFFan80: 6_6;;; <_>;;; IM: ...I KNOW THAT THING'S... EVIL!!!
teh Dia: *trots over to Hakaril's desk and curls up in a box of his that she's commandeered and somehow filled with soft fur and bits of cloth* =e.e= =-.-= =^_^=
teh Dia: Mrawr.
dragonclawsedw: =o.o= Otay... *nod*
teh Dia: =-.-= *mrrs faintly*
dragonclawsedw: =Bye bye wai dracokitties!=

dragonclawsedw: People couldn't see me, because I had no physical body....but I was still there...
FFFan80: <.<? So, you have multiple bodies, then? <_>?
dragonclawsedw: Mu had damaged my astral form so badly I had to retreat my physical body to stay alive
dragonclawsedw: *nod* Yep....
teh Dia: T2Hak: I'M NOT A CAT!
FFFan80: >.>? ...fascinating...
dragonclawsedw: Your astral body is so different...not like human's or ryuuzoku or mazoku....
FFFan80: o.o You know... in my brief moments in the astral plane, I do notice something seems... 'different' about myself... perhaps that's it then?
teh Dia: *settles Kawa to sleep and goes to leave Hakaril a hairball in his spare shoes*
dragonclawsedw: I think that's it....
FFFan80: ^_^; ...perhaps I should speak with Mr. Hakaril again about it sometime.
Arch mage144: *wanders into the Jade Dragon*
Arch mage144: ARA!
dragonclawsedw: Yeah, he seems to know his stuff...
Arch mage144: O_O
FFFan80: >.O;
Arch mage144: ...I need to speak with you!
dragonclawsedw: But be careful he yammers a lo-- GAH!

FFFan80: ***>_>***;;;; Uh... could I go and do that right now?
Arch mage144: She fought...him...

AdamSquint: Mithra.
Arch mage144: ...Great Mithra. >.<
AdamSquint: o_o;;
Arch mage144: And she's ALIVE!?
FFFan80: <_< Course I will...
Arch mage144: ...damn.
AdamSquint: who's him?
Arch mage144: Ara...I really don't think I should take Ayra with me now.
FFFan80: <.< >.> *does secret hat shadow stealth smooch* -.-
dragonclawsedw: Saar better not be back here....eVe I swore Arnast finally killed him..
dragonclawsedw: Take AYRA with you??
Arch mage144: No, Ara...whoever Saar is...
FFFan80: *<.<* ...I'll see ya later *^_^* *>_>*;;; *hurries over*
dragonclawsedw: OVO Of course you're not taking Ayra with you!

Arch mage144: Ara.
dragonclawsedw: *pout*

dragonclawsedw: <.< Uh sure....
Arch mage144: ...this is going to be difficult. And dangerous.
Arch mage144: Riss'ar can handle the bar work, right?
dragonclawsedw: -V- Gotta make sure my sis is safe.
Arch mage144: Riss'ar: ^_^ Sure thing, General Silvar!
dragonclawsedw: >.> Yep, he's very capable...
FFFan80: *approaches the table*
dragonclawsedw: >.>;; As long as he doesn't go on another experimentation trip agian.
Arch mage144: IM: ...what kind of experimentation?
Arch mage144: ...is Dia around?
dragonclawsedw: Ayra you stay here.
Arch mage144: Ayra, stay with Dia and Riss'ar.
dragonclawsedw: =._.= *mope*
Arch mage144: ...sorry.
teh Dia: *Dia's familiar yelling is heard from the back room*
dragonclawsedw: But I wanna go on an adventure!
Arch mage144: But this is really dangerous!
FFFan80: >.O;;;;
dragonclawsedw: *whine*
Arch mage144: ...but what if you got hurt?
FFFan80: e_e;;; IM: ....oh wonderful...
Arch mage144: Or killed?
AdamSquint: Listen...you want to be a grown up, right?
AdamSquint: *to Ayra*
dragonclawsedw: ....killed...uh.....
dragonclawsedw: =<.>= Who will reap me if I get killed?
Arch mage144: ...exactly.
Arch mage144: So stay here where it's safe.
teh Dia: *bursts out of the back room, face falling blank as she spots the group* ...Ara? Ayra? Hak? Squintz?
Arch mage144: ...I promise you won't have to come for any of our souls.
dragonclawsedw: Hey Dia!
teh Dia: *studiously ignores Stephan*
AdamSquint: o.o
AdamSquint: *looks at Dia* Yes?
dragonclawsedw: Dia can you do me a favor?
teh Dia: Ara. o_o What's up?
Arch mage144: Hello, Dia. *looks serious*
teh Dia: Yeah.
Arch mage144: ...we need you to watch Ayra.
Arch mage144: The four of us are going on a little trip.
dragonclawsedw: *sulk* =._.=
teh Dia: ...
teh Dia: ...okay. -_-;;
Arch mage144: Sorry.
Arch mage144: ...it's really important.
teh Dia: It's okay. She and Rob can play games or something...
Arch mage144: ...and too dangerous for little girls.
Arch mage144: No offense, Ayra.
FFFan80: Hehe... I didn't know your Inn doubled as a day-care, Dia >XD
AdamSquint: IM: VACATION! WOOO! Hush, you.
dragonclawsedw: =o.o= Robert is here???
dragonclawsedw: I wanna play with Robert! =^_^=
Arch mage144: *snickers quietly at Dia's ears*
AdamSquint: *doesn't mention the ears, for he fears an angry Dia*
Arch mage144: *...but only momentarily, as his mind wanders back to the task at hand*
teh Dia: ^¬.¬^ *ignores Stephan*
Arch mage144: ...I think we should be going soon.
dragonclawsedw: Yay! Thankyou UsaDia!
teh Dia: Rob's out back, Ayra. <^_^>
teh Dia: ... *sweatdrop*
FFFan80: ...*chuckles*
teh Dia: ^<_<^
dragonclawsedw: *w* Ayra, what did I say about calling her that?
dragonclawsedw: Sowwy =u.u=;;
teh Dia: ^e_e^ It's okay, Ayra. Come on... *takes her hand* Let's go see Robert.
dragonclawsedw: Robert Robert!
teh Dia: *heads into and through the back room with Ayra*
XStrike8 has entered the room.
dragonclawsedw: -V- Well then, shall we be going?
Arch mage144: Yeah. Ara, Squintz...Stephan?
AdamSquint: I'm ready.
Arch mage144: IM: When you're done with your "male friend," that is...
FFFan80: <_< *distracted* Eh?
Arch mage144: ...we're going, Stephan.
AdamSquint: IM: So, we're gonna go off and destroy evil? Barak...I thought you left my head.
FFFan80: -.- *sipping on a straw*
FFFan80: o.o -.-
dragonclawsedw: (XD)
FFFan80: OH! Uh.. yeah, I'm ready.
Arch mage144: Right...
Arch mage144: ...Ara. >.>
dragonclawsedw: <.< Yeah?
Arch mage144: ...what's your overland speed as a dragon?
FFFan80: *>.<* IM: ...I hope no one noticed that...
dragonclawsedw: Umm...well I'm faster when I fly...
Arch mage144: ...well you can fly...
Arch mage144: ...quickly?
dragonclawsedw: Yep o.o
AdamSquint: ....is she big enough to hold us all?
Arch mage144: ...I think so.
Arch mage144: *scrutinizes Ara*
dragonclawsedw: *snorts* Of course I am!
Arch mage144: IM: Yeah, she's big enough...er...>_<
Arch mage144: IM: GODDAMNIT YOU'RE ENGAGED!
Arch mage144: ...excellent.
FFFan80: ...*AHEM*
Arch mage144: ...what?
AdamSquint: IM: Looks like she's big enough from here. ...as a DRAGON. I know.
dragonclawsedw: *goes to step outside*
FFFan80: ¬_¬;; ...exactly how the @#$#@ are we supposed to keep from falling off her?
Arch mage144: Ara'll let us ride her all the way to the spot...
Arch mage144: ...hang on.
AdamSquint: yep.
dragonclawsedw: You hold on you dumbass...
AdamSquint: *walks outside*
Arch mage144: *follows*
dragonclawsedw: IM: Ceiphied that sounds so kinky...
FFFan80: ....TO WHAT?
dragonclawsedw: Me!
dragonclawsedw: ....hey could you all look the other way for a moment?
Arch mage144: ...why?
dragonclawsedw: I have to transform.
Arch mage144: ...yeah...
dragonclawsedw: *coughs*
AdamSquint: *turns away*
Arch mage144: ...I'll close my eyes. *grins*
dragonclawsedw: >V> Turn around.
Arch mage144: *turns around reluctantly*
FFFan80: *hasn't yet*
Arch mage144: Stephan doesn't...find you attractive anyway. *smirks*
FFFan80: <\/<+++ *DEATH glare*
dragonclawsedw: <V< I don't care, you too Stephan.
AdamSquint: ...
FFFan80: Sheesh fine...
FFFan80: *mutter* If you're gonna be a whiney @#$#@ about it *mutter*
FFFan80: <\/< *turns around*
Arch mage144: *taps his foot*
dragonclawsedw: *shakes her head and transforms, glowing a bright golden color, supplemented by the loss of clothes....*
dragonclawsedw: *moments later a large golden dragon sits in her place*
Arch mage144: (Fanservice! Woo! *the GM cheers*)
dragonclawsedw: T: Okay I'm done...
dragonclawsedw: T: Y'all can turn around now
AdamSquint: *turns back* o_O
Arch mage144: *turns around...and stares at the enormous ryuuzoku before him* ...yep, she's big enough that all three of us can ride with no problem.
AdamSquint: IM: That's a big dragon.
AdamSquint: I agree.
FFFan80: *turns around*
FFFan80: 9_9;;;; IM: ...daaaaaaamn
Arch mage144: *climbs up and wraps his arms tightly around Ara's neck*
dragonclawsedw: *ruffles up a few scales to provide things to hold onto*
AdamSquint: *climbs up and grabs a scale*
FFFan80: *climbs up*
Arch mage144: ...er, OK then. Everyone got a good grip?
AdamSquint: I do.
FFFan80: 6\/6; ...I guess...
dragonclawsedw: Okay! *extends her wings outwards* And we're off....uh...
FFFan80: ....uh?!
dragonclawsedw: T: Which direction?
Arch mage144: ...that way. *points*
FFFan80: ...*facepalms*
dragonclawsedw: (Anything she says is supposedly telepathy, I tend to mess up though sometimes ^^;; )
dragonclawsedw: *takes off*
FFFan80: *holding tight* <_<;
Arch mage144: (*calculates Aya's probable flying speed*)
Arch mage144: *after a few hours or so, the group, very tired from riding on a flying dragon...*
FFFan80: @_@;;; IM: Arms... falling asleep...
dragonclawsedw: IM: ACK! I think I have a cramp >.<
Arch mage144: ...er, OK, land here! *points to a spot in the mountains*
dragonclawsedw: T: Gotcha....
dragonclawsedw: *soars down to the spot and makes a rather shaky landing*
Arch mage144: *hops off Ara and stumbles around, slightly dizzy for a moment*
AdamSquint: *more like rolls off*
FFFan80: @_@;;; *wobbily gets off*
AdamSquint: ...that...was different...
Arch mage144: ...never ridden a dragon before?
AdamSquint: nope.
Arch mage144: Hm.
Arch mage144: ...guess that goes for most people.
dragonclawsedw: Rawr... *scratches behind her ear*
Arch mage144: Ara, I'd suggest you return to normal.
Arch mage144: You won't fit in a cave or anything like that.
FFFan80: ...next time... air ship... definitely.... @_@;;;
Arch mage144: The mountain paths are probably too narrow for you
dragonclawsedw: T: Drats....
dragonclawsedw: *begins to shrink, her draconic features disappearing, save her ears and tail*
Arch mage144: ...OK then. *nods*
AdamSquint: o.o
Arch mage144: We're a few miles out from Gunnir.
FFFan80: o.ó? ...ain't that some mage school?
Arch mage144: This is the location, more or less, where Hawthorne III and Wre'pat's famous brawl took place.
dragonclawsedw: Yeah....hey let's see if I can contact sis...
Arch mage144: ...yes, Daniel.
AdamSquint: ...
Arch mage144: *Stephan
AdamSquint: so...you think it's here?
Arch mage144: (*BLARGH*)
dragonclawsedw: T: Hey sis you feeling okay?
Arch mage144: Close by.
dragonclawsedw: T: *nothing*
dragonclawsedw: O.o; She's not responding...
AdamSquint: ...
Arch mage144: ...not good.
FFFan80: Eh.
FFFan80: Probably plastered, I'd bet ¬_¬
Arch mage144: *glances around the current landing spot, which is a plateau of sorts*
dragonclawsedw: She's not dead at least....
Arch mage144: *shakes his head violently* Erm...well...
dragonclawsedw: Let's go *nod*
Arch mage144: ...anyone know which way we should go? Your guess is as good as mine. It just can't be far from here...
AdamSquint: ...hm...
AdamSquint: can you sense it?
Arch mage144: ...as a random note, we're probably standing OVER Gunnir's basement.
dragonclawsedw: ...anyone elses guess is better than mine....
dragonclawsedw: Basement?
Arch mage144: Yeah.
dragonclawsedw: Aya mentioned something about the basement...
Arch mage144: Gunnir's basement extends for miles away from the school itself...
Arch mage144: ...it's the result of an experiment gone awry.
AdamSquint: ...so...do you think it's possible?
Arch mage144: A very crazy mage, as a graduation day prank, tried to animate the whole building. >_>;;
dragonclawsedw: What KIND of experiment?
dragonclawsedw: ....>.>;;;;;;;
Arch mage144: ...it didn't work.
FFFan80: .....*sweatdrop*
Arch mage144: The excess energy collapsed on him, and there was a massive wild mana surge...
Arch mage144: The entire graduating class of 1278 was turned into rabbits.
dragonclawsedw: O.o;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
AdamSquint: o_O
FFFan80: o.O; .....kay....
Arch mage144: The mage himself reportedly ended up...er...
Arch mage144: Let's just say his remains would fit on the head of a pin.
FFFan80: >_>;;; IM: Well, that tops the frog squad story back home...
FFFan80: ....nice... <_<;;
dragonclawsedw: o_o; Well then...
Arch mage144: ...Gunnir has a lot of odd history behind it. ^^;;
Arch mage144: Um, anyway, supposedly, the basement is like a living thing.
FFFan80: ...wait, don't tell me...
FFFan80: e_e;;; ...you went to school there right?
Arch mage144: It grows and expands itself...it's like a living anthill under the mountains.
Arch mage144: And...yeah. I did.
FFFan80: <\/< ...that explains a lot...
AdamSquint: ...
AdamSquint: So...
Arch mage144: Archmage of Gunnir, class of 1309.
Arch mage144: ...right...anyway.
dragonclawsedw: O.o; Aya mentioned something about a tongue in the basement...
Arch mage144: A tongue?
AdamSquint: A TOUNGE?
dragonclawsedw: ......maybe the basement licked her...
Arch mage144: I wouldn't be surprised.
FFFan80: ....whatever you had in mind for a reward...
FFFan80: e_e;;; ...double it.
AdamSquint: ...>_>;;;
Arch mage144: Someone found a primitive society of creatures made of cobwebs and dust down there once...
dragonclawsedw: o.O;;;
dragonclawsedw: ....Weird....
Arch mage144: ...supposedly, they had managed to invent fire at about the same time that they went extinct.
AdamSquint: ...amazing.
Arch mage144: Hey, look!
dragonclawsedw: <.> Aya also mentioned something about a nightstand....
FFFan80: .....*sweatdrops*
dragonclawsedw: o.o Eh?
Arch mage144: ...I wouldn't know abou that.
dragonclawsedw: She wouldn't stop laughing to tell me...
Arch mage144: *points to a rather large hole in the rock face that looks like a potential cave entrance*
AdamSquint: o_o
FFFan80: >\/> *glances over*
AdamSquint: Should we go down into it?
dragonclawsedw: <.< Enterance?
Arch mage144: I dunno, what do you think?
AdamSquint: ...I think it's our only lead.
Arch mage144: Fair enough.
dragonclawsedw: Worth a shot....
FFFan80: Well, *IS* the basement place remotely close to here?
Arch mage144: ...we're on top of it.
Arch mage144: For all I know, that leads straight into it.
Arch mage144: *wanders over towards the hole*
AdamSquint: *looks down the hole*
dragonclawsedw: *follows*
FFFan80: *shrugs and follows* IM: Hey, if they wanna get @#$#ed over first...
Arch mage144: *the hole leads into a very standard sort of sandstone cave, much like the rest of the mountains, and, like most caves, it happens to be slightly damp and cool*
AdamSquint: *decides to hop into the hole*
AdamSquint: IM: I hope it isn't alive...
Arch mage144: *on the opposite wall, a very unusual thing for a cave, is a metallic looking door*
dragonclawsedw: *draws her sword*
FFFan80: .....?
dragonclawsedw: >.> Well that's interesting...
FFFan80: >\/> ....I think we found your basement.
AdamSquint: *draws his sword too*
Arch mage144: Yep.
Arch mage144: Looks like the way in.
Arch mage144: Stephan, you can go first. ^_^
FFFan80: .....
FFFan80: ¬\/¬ ....why's that, may I ask?
dragonclawsedw: *snicker*
Arch mage144: ...*mumble* No reason.
AdamSquint: it's because you're closer to the door.
FFFan80: o\/o If you know this place so well, why don't you go first?
dragonclawsedw: ...>.>;;;
Arch mage144: I don't know it at all1
Arch mage144: *!
dragonclawsedw: Fine I'll go first!
Arch mage144: Only the freaks and the gothic kids hung out in the basement.
dragonclawsedw: *shakes her head* Men...
Arch mage144: I think they used to summon the spawn of hell down here!
Arch mage144: For fun!
AdamSquint: I'll do it...
FFFan80: e_e
AdamSquint: If it's hellspawn...
dragonclawsedw: *opens the door*
AdamSquint: ...or not.
Arch mage144: *the door opens*
Arch mage144: *huzzah*
AdamSquint: *walks through*
Arch mage144: *and the four get a good look into the next room, a rectangular room made up of greyish stone*
Arch mage144: *the room smells somewhat mildewed*
FFFan80: ...you see anything in there? *to Squintz*
FFFan80: *is still outside*
AdamSquint: ..not much...
Arch mage144: *to the right and left, Squintz can see doorways*
AdamSquint: there's doorways to the sides.
Arch mage144: *there is also apparently a doorway on the ceiling*
AdamSquint: ...and one...up.
FFFan80: ...wha?
dragonclawsedw: ....9.9 *walks in*
AdamSquint: ..don't ask why.
dragonclawsedw: That's weird...
FFFan80: >\/>? *walks in* 9\/9? *looks up*
AdamSquint: there is a door on the celing.
Arch mage144: ...I told you this place was goofy.
Arch mage144: *looks up the hole in the ceiling*
AdamSquint: I can see that now..
Arch mage144: Why do you think I didn't spend much time down here?
FFFan80: ...how the hell would you reach that door? Fly?
Arch mage144: ...a human didn't put it there.
Arch mage144: The basement has its own twisted sense of logic.
AdamSquint: ...
dragonclawsedw: ....okaaaaay.
dragonclawsedw: >.> ... <.< ... Which way do we go anyways?
FFFan80: ...says the man who 'Doesn't know anything' about this place ¬_¬;;;
Arch mage144: I don't!
Arch mage144: ...I know the basics from rumors.
Arch mage144: ...which way?
FFFan80: Up? XP
dragonclawsedw: I say left!
Arch mage144: Yeah, Stephan, let's stand on each other's shoulders and climb up. XP
AdamSquint: Left is fine.
FFFan80: You say left, huh Ara?
FFFan80: >\/> ...we should go right, then *nod*
dragonclawsedw: >V> Hey!
Arch mage144: ...I think I can trust Ara's judgement.
Arch mage144: YOU wanted to go UP.
FFFan80: *I* was joking e_e
Arch mage144: ...sure you were.
dragonclawsedw: Left it is! *heads to the door on the left and opens it*
AdamSquint: *follows Ara*
Arch mage144: *and Ara stares into a room very much like the last one...only there is a "door" on the floor instead of on the ceiling*
Arch mage144: *and there is another exit to the right*
AdamSquint: ...what do you see?
dragonclawsedw: Uh, seems like a room just like the last one..
dragonclawsedw: 'cept the door's on the floor
AdamSquint: ...this thing is like a maze...
FFFan80: ....wooo freakin' hooo e_e+
Arch mage144: *scratches his head*
Arch mage144: *Stephan, despite being the LEAST magically attuned of anyone...*
FFFan80: (Hey! XP)
Arch mage144: *senses a very strong aura coming from the direction of the door on the floor*
AdamSquint: so..what now?
FFFan80: >.o;;; ...huh?
FFFan80: *seems distracted*
dragonclawsedw: No idea....
FFFan80: *rubs at his forehead* ...the hell is this feeling....? >.<;
dragonclawsedw: o.o Eh?
AdamSquint: ...*looks at Stephan* o.o?
Arch mage144: ...what is it?
FFFan80: ....I dunno....
Arch mage144: ...well describe it.
FFFan80: >\/o;;; ...it feels like when I'm using magic... but....
FFFan80: ...it's coming from somewhere else... I think...
dragonclawsedw: Where's it coming from?
FFFan80: *walks a few steps*
FFFan80: ....?
Arch mage144: *blinks*
FFFan80: 6\/6 ....the floor, I think...
Arch mage144: ...oh!
Arch mage144: I sense that!
Arch mage144: ...why didn't I notice before...
AdamSquint: o.o
Arch mage144: ...there's something majorly magical down there.
FFFan80: >\/>? ...huh?
dragonclawsedw: The acadamy maybe? *grins*
AdamSquint: ...or the staff. o_o
Arch mage144: I'm betting Squintz is right.
Arch mage144: I mean, even the walls down here radiate magic to some extent...but...
dragonclawsedw: Sweet then we found it!
Arch mage144: *Squintz and the others notice that the walls are moving, just slightly*
dragonclawsedw: *goes to pry the door open*
FFFan80: .....
FFFan80: o.o -.-
AdamSquint: ..is it just me...
Arch mage144: ...that aura...erm, Ara...
AdamSquint: or is the wall moving?
FFFan80: .....uh....
Arch mage144: *Ara pulls the door on the floor open*
dragonclawsedw: >.> Yeah? *pull*
Arch mage144: *and it reveals another room below*
Arch mage144: ...it's a bit farther off than that. But it's not TOO far.
dragonclawsedw: Well at least know which direction to go in now *nod*
AdamSquint: *follows the others*
FFFan80: ....wait.
Arch mage144: ...what?
FFFan80: *gets his sword out*
FFFan80: *goes over to a nearby wall*
FFFan80: 9\/9 *tries to cut an 'X' shape into the wall*
dragonclawsedw: >.>;; Uh Stephan....
FFFan80: What?
dragonclawsedw: I...wouldn't do that if this place is alive...
Arch mage144: *the stone is surprisingly soft...and a bit of purplish black BLOOD oozes from the scrape*
dragonclawsedw: O_O;;;
AdamSquint: ...
FFFan80: >.O;;; GAH!
FFFan80: *hops back*
Arch mage144: *a very quiet squeal is overheard*
FFFan80: 6_6;;;
AdamSquint: freaky.
Arch mage144: ...smooth, Stephan.
Arch mage144: Real smooth.
dragonclawsedw: Oh crap...
FFFan80: >\/> we're in a freakin' MAZE, don't you think it might be smart to mark off where we've been?
dragonclawsedw: I think it might be smarter NOT to piss off the maze!
AdamSquint: it's a good point...
Arch mage144: *a rumble is heard...*
FFFan80: .............
AdamSquint: Great.
dragonclawsedw: ....>.> *looks to the hole down from the door*
dragonclawsedw: Let's....GO!
AdamSquint: The walls are alive, and we're going to be killed.
Arch mage144: *and a rather large ceiling stone comes loose and simply FALLS on Stephan*
FFFan80: 9_9 O_o
dragonclawsedw: O_O STEPHAN!
AdamSquint: o_o
Arch mage144: *the weight and sudden blow from the stone knocks him to the floor*
FFFan80: *THUNK* @_@;;;;;
dragonclawsedw: Jeeze *shakes her head and tries to push the rock off of Stephan*
AdamSquint: o.o
Arch mage144: (54 points of damage...Stephan escapes with a broken leg, as the stone bashes his shoulder/upper back and falls on his calf as he goes down.)
dragonclawsedw: (Ow....)
AdamSquint: ...that had to hurt.
FFFan80: >o< @#$#@%@#!!!! *holding leg*
dragonclawsedw: *winces*
dragonclawsedw: Um, that looked like it hurt
FFFan80: e\/<+++ NO @#$@#$ING SHIT!!!
AdamSquint: Yep.
AdamSquint: ..so..should we do something to help him?
Arch mage144: ...damn...er...
dragonclawsedw: Oh shut up and let me heal you *grumble*
Arch mage144: Stephan, that didn't look comfortable.
FFFan80: e_e+++
dragonclawsedw: *places both of her hands on Stephan and chants*
Arch mage144: ...DON'T POKE THE WALLS WITH YOUR SWORD! ><
FFFan80: >o< I DIDN'T KNOW THE @#$#@$ING CEILING WAS GONNA #$@$ING FALL ON ME DAMMIT!!!!
dragonclawsedw: -.- Recovery!
FFFan80: e_e;;; *pant, pant*
AdamSquint: in all fairness, the walls were moving...
AdamSquint: perhaps you didn't see the fact that they weren't normal walls?
FFFan80: .........
FFFan80: >\/e *twitch*
Arch mage144: *Ara's spell does a fairly good job of healing Stephan's shoulder, upper back, and even leg wounds, but the bone is still broken*
Arch mage144: (34 HP restored.)
Arch mage144: ...moron.
dragonclawsedw: Looks like you'll have to be careful abotu that leg now..
FFFan80: e\/e++++++++++++
AdamSquint: *holds out his hand* I'll help you...
Arch mage144: Squintz, always the helpful one. *laughs*
dragonclawsedw: Let's move on...>.>;;;;
FFFan80: >\/<++++++ *struggles to keep from tottaly flipping out and severely hurting Hak*
FFFan80: e_e+++ *reluctantly lets Squintz help him up*
AdamSquint: *lends a shoulder*
AdamSquint: Hak...it's the job descrption.
dragonclawsedw: *heads down the door in the floor*
AdamSquint: *Hakaril
AdamSquint: (Squintz would never call him Hak...)
Arch mage144: ...well, that's why I'm aparently not a paladin...
Arch mage144: *follows after Ara*
AdamSquint: Heh.
AdamSquint: *follows, a bit more slowly*
FFFan80: e_e+++ IM: No @#$#@ing shit...
Arch mage144: *the room below contains four things*
Arch mage144: *a pile of bleached bones*
Arch mage144: *a rack*
Arch mage144: *an urn*
Arch mage144: *and a door on the back wall*
dragonclawsedw: <.<;; ..... >.>;;;; ...... O.o
FFFan80: *shudders a bit at the urn* o_o;
AdamSquint: ...interesting...
dragonclawsedw: Ew...must be a torture chamber...
dragonclawsedw: *looks in the urn*
FFFan80: O_@ WAIT!
Arch mage144: *the urn is painted bright red and orange alternating zig zags and is apparently made of ceramic*
FFFan80: OPEN THAT THING AND I'LL CUT YA DAMMIT!!! e\/<+++
Arch mage144: *the urn doesn't have a lid >.>*
dragonclawsedw: *looks inside the urn*
Arch mage144: *the urn is filled with a sticky looking black tar*
dragonclawsedw: *sniffs the tar*
AdamSquint: *looks at the bones, then the rack* This...is disturbing.
dragonclawsedw: Wonder what this stuff is....
Arch mage144: *the tar smells somewhat strong...you've smelled tar before, I'm sure*
dragonclawsedw: Yuck....tar...
dragonclawsedw: *picks up the urn*
AdamSquint: ...tar is in it?
dragonclawsedw: Yeah, at least that's what it smells like...
FFFan80: IM: I swear... if that @#$#@ing thing spawns something e_e+++
AdamSquint: ...hmm..I'd be wary of tar that you find in random urns...
FFFan80: Here's a crazy idea... LEAVE THE #$@$ING URN ALONE AND LET'S LEAVE!
Arch mage144: *suddenly, the tar leaps out of the urn and wraps itself around Ara's head and face*
FFFan80: O_O;
dragonclawsedw: AHHGMMMPHHH!
AdamSquint: ...
AdamSquint: *readies his sword*
AdamSquint: DAMN IT!
FFFan80: *pulls away from Squintz, tries to balance on one leg* >.e;;;
Arch mage144: *and the tar sits there sucking on Ara's face >_>;;*
dragonclawsedw: *scrambles around trying to pull it off*
Arch mage144: *which, at the moment, isn't hurting...but it's kind of hard to breathe*
dragonclawsedw: T: Get this shit off of me!
AdamSquint: *realizes the situation he's in*
AdamSquint: IM: Darn.
AdamSquint: *raises an arm* DON'T MOVE, ARA. *throws a fireball at the tar*
FFFan80: Lemme try something...
FFFan80: ...*facepalms*
AdamSquint: IM: Please don't let me mess up...
Arch mage144: (*rolls some dice*)
AdamSquint: IM: FUCK! TAR!
AdamSquint: IM: SHIT!
FFFan80: >\/>;;; IM: ....well she's a dragon right? Don't they like fire...? *sweatdrop*
Arch mage144: *the fireball sears the tar, breaking it free from Ara's face*
AdamSquint: *hits his face*
dragonclawsedw: >.<;;;;
AdamSquint: IM: Idiot!
Arch mage144: *however, Ara, as a result of having fire explode in her face, is singed slightly*
dragonclawsedw: *blackened face*
dragonclawsedw: e_e;;;; *cough*
FFFan80: <\/< >\/> *checks to see where the tar went*
Arch mage144: *Ara has a mess of sticky black tar in her hair*
FFFan80: o\/o .........
FFFan80: o.o ..........
Arch mage144: *the tar, at the moment, is squirming in the urn*
dragonclawsedw: *holds the urn away from her body*
FFFan80: >.< *snicker*
dragonclawsedw: Anyone got a f(&^(ing lid?!
AdamSquint: ...use a bone or something!
FFFan80: ...would ya settle for ice?
AdamSquint: *looks to see if a bone could cover the urn*
Arch mage144: *no, not really*
dragonclawsedw: Put SOMETHING on top of it! >.<;;
AdamSquint: *looks around* IM: THINK!
Arch mage144: *the urn, thrashing wildly, wrests itself from Ara's grip*
dragonclawsedw: GAH!
Arch mage144: *Hakaril, meanwhile, is snickering at the whole predicament*
FFFan80: *chants* -\/-+++
Arch mage144: *the urn crashes to the floor, bursting open*
FFFan80: ...*stops* 6_6;;;
Arch mage144: *and a tar creature roughly four feet tall rears up from the muck*
FFFan80: O_o;;;;;;
dragonclawsedw: *snarl* eVe
FFFan80: e\/e;;;; *gets out his sword*
FFFan80: ........
FFFan80: O\/<+++ *WINCES at pain in his leg*
FFFan80: IM: @#$#@$@ @$#@$@ @#$#@$@# >.<++
Arch mage144: Ara, get back from that thing.
dragonclawsedw: *scoots away*
dragonclawsedw: What the hell? Who animated the tar?1
Arch mage144: *the tar creature, as quickly as tar can move, slides over into a crack in the wall and slips away*
FFFan80: >_>;
FFFan80: e_e;;; ...well, this just keeps getting better...
Arch mage144: ...well at least it's gone.
dragonclawsedw: Stupid thing...I have tar in my hair now *whine*
Arch mage144: ...sorry? o_o
Arch mage144: I could clean it for you...
dragonclawsedw: Can you? I don't want to have to cut it...
FFFan80: Why not?
FFFan80: I hear bald's all the rage now >:D
AdamSquint: ...
dragonclawsedw: eVe#
Arch mage144: *walks over towards Ara, holds up his hands, closes his eyes and starts chanting softly*
Arch mage144: *a brilliant flash of light illuminates the room, and Ara's hair is tar free*
FFFan80: >.e;
AdamSquint: o.o
dragonclawsedw: ^_^ Yay!
FFFan80: -.- o.o
Arch mage144: ...there, all clean.
Arch mage144: *Squintz feels something seeping up around his ankles*
AdamSquint: ...6_6 *looks down*
AdamSquint: IM: If this is what I think it is..
Arch mage144: *...and he notes that he's standing in a puddle of black ooze*
AdamSquint: ...
AdamSquint: well, this sucks.
dragonclawsedw: ....O.o Squintz MOVE!
Arch mage144: *...which is rapidly growing*
AdamSquint: *tries to move away*
Arch mage144: (*rolls dice*)
FFFan80: *walk/stumbles away from Squintz* <\/<;;
Arch mage144: *Squintz finds himself rooted to the spot as the tarlike creature begins to crawl up his legs*
Arch mage144: Squintz! o_o;;;
AdamSquint: v_v Crap.
dragonclawsedw: OVo ICE!
Arch mage144: ...someone DO something!?
dragonclawsedw: *casts an ice spell on the tar at Squintz's feet*
Arch mage144: ...hell, I'LL...or Ara...
Arch mage144: *the ice spell freezes the goop solid*
dragonclawsedw: *grin*
AdamSquint: ...
Arch mage144: *leaving Squintz with a frozen scuplture around his feet and legs*
FFFan80: ...*gets his sword out*
AdamSquint: *takes his sword, and gets to work*
dragonclawsedw: Just smash it off now *nod*
AdamSquint: Thank you.
FFFan80: <\/< ... I think it's icicle chipping time.. *nod*
FFFan80: 6\/6 *chip, chip, stabbity*
dragonclawsedw: Hey either that or you could be on fire...
Arch mage144: *walks over and helps with his own sword*
dragonclawsedw: *takes out the dragon king sword and helps out also*
AdamSquint: ...can you chip the goop from NEAR my feet, rathter than the corners, Stephan?
Arch mage144: *after a moment, Squintz is able to break free*
FFFan80: .......
AdamSquint: *breaks free, woot.*
FFFan80: e_e+++ ...you want me to stab your damn foot?
Arch mage144: *thankfully, no permanent harm was done...except that any hair on his legs has been stripped off*
dragonclawsedw: (He was attacked by animated Nair XD)
AdamSquint: *luckily, didn't have any to begin with*
Arch mage144: *elves don't have much...or any...body hair*
Arch mage144: ...well, now that we're done playing with tar monsters and torture racks...
Arch mage144: Maybe we should keep moving?
dragonclawsedw: Yeah let's move on... >.>
FFFan80: *This factoid was brought to you by the Doman High Council on Non-Human Societies*
dragonclawsedw: *heads for the door they didn't come through*
FFFan80: >\/> Indeed...
Arch mage144: *on the other side of THIS door...*
Arch mage144: *is a room containing the following items:*
Arch mage144: *a discarded podium, lying on its side*
Arch mage144: *a few books*
Arch mage144: *a wooden staff with a small bottle next to it*
Arch mage144: *a door on the opposing wall, also made of wood*
dragonclawsedw: *eyes the staff*
dragonclawsedw: ...is that it?
FFFan80: *glances at said staff*
Arch mage144: *and a rather long, jet black staff lying in the corner*
Arch mage144: ...that's it. *points*
dragonclawsedw: ....ah...
FFFan80: ....that's it?!
dragonclawsedw: *walks over and picks up the other staff*
AdamSquint: o.o
FFFan80: Someone just left it, sitting in a corner of some room!?
AdamSquint: I don't think so...
FFFan80: ....in that case...
Arch mage144: More like...it probably got burped up here, or something.
FFFan80: ...or someone else is down here... <\/<;
Arch mage144: *the staff on the ground appears, to Ara, to be an ordinary, wooden staff*
AdamSquint: ...I'd be careful about it...
dragonclawsedw: But this other stuff has to belong to someone...
AdamSquint: don't touch it..
Arch mage144: *a glob of black ooze drips from the ceiling, landing on Stephan's shoulder*
Arch mage144: ...HEY!
dragonclawsedw: *picks up one of the books*
Arch mage144: *Hakaril strides over towards Ara and the books, snatching the volume out of her hand*
FFFan80: >_> O_O WAH!!!!
AdamSquint: ...Stephan...o_o
dragonclawsedw: Hey! >.>
Arch mage144: ...this is a library book I lost a fear years ago. o_O
Arch mage144: *few
FFFan80: *swats at it* >\/>
dragonclawsedw: O.o;; What's it doing here?
FFFan80: ....EXCUSE ME?!?!?!
Arch mage144: *the ooze rolls off his shoulder onto the floor*
AdamSquint: *watches the ooze*
Arch mage144: ...I loaned it to someone else.
FFFan80: 6\/6 *stomps on it*
dragonclawsedw: Who? O.o;
FFFan80: ......*with the wrong leg*
FFFan80: >.@++++ OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!
Arch mage144: *the goo simply slips into the cracks...and Stephan feels a sharp pain*
Arch mage144: ...I think we ought to grab that staff and get out of here.
FFFan80: *falls back* @\/<++++
dragonclawsedw: Right....oo...
AdamSquint: ...are you sure it's the right one?
Arch mage144: ...and er, I loaned it to some guy who I used to hang out with at drinking parties.
dragonclawsedw: *picks up the potion* o.O ... O.o....
Arch mage144: *the small vial is coal black, with a tiny white label*
dragonclawsedw: *tries to read the lable*
FFFan80: e\/<+++ @#$@# damn @#$@#$@ing black @#$#@$ing ooze @#$@#$ing @#$@#$...
AdamSquint: ..*cringes at all the obsenities
AdamSquint: *
Arch mage144: *scrawled across it in very messy handwriting: "Mirin's Stave Lubricant"*
dragonclawsedw: O_O;;;
dragonclawsedw: <.< Hey Stephan...
Arch mage144: ...whatcha got there, Ara?
dragonclawsedw: ....*snicker* I think I have something here you might want...
FFFan80: ....?
FFFan80: >\/>? ...what?
dragonclawsedw: *snickers and gives him the vial*
Arch mage144: ...oh, staff lubricant!
AdamSquint: ...
Arch mage144: Er...that's...not used for...what you think it is.
FFFan80: .......*FACEFAULT* *O.o*
dragonclawsedw: *Cackle*
FFFan80: >\/>++++ *Would be kicking if his leg wasn't broken* >.<+++++++++++
Arch mage144: It's to keep...the wood...nice and shiny *snickers*
AdamSquint: ....o_o;;;
FFFan80: e\/< *twitch*
dragonclawsedw: *snicker*
FFFan80: ...CAN WE GET THE @#$#@$ING STAFF ALREADY!!!!??
Arch mage144: ...but I guess..*laughs*..it could work for other kinds of..."wood."
Arch mage144: *coughs*
Arch mage144: ...right, the staff.
AdamSquint: *snickers a bit*
FFFan80: e_e++++
Arch mage144: *walks over and picks up the jet black staff*
FFFan80: *...silently pockets the vial*
AdamSquint: Be careful..
Arch mage144: ...it's cold to the touch. Feels like it's made of marble or something...but it's black.
Arch mage144: It's not as heavy as stone, either.
Arch mage144: Maybe ivory of some sort.
AdamSquint: hmm...
dragonclawsedw: Odd...
dragonclawsedw: *picks up another book and looks at it*
Arch mage144: *the sigil of Nikumu at the staff's end glows a faint purple*
FFFan80: ....you might wanna put that down... *points* e_e;
Arch mage144: *Ara reads the book's title: "Steamy Sorceress Stories, Volume 1"*
AdamSquint: ...well, at least we know it's what we're looking for..
dragonclawsedw: >.>;;;;;
dragonclawsedw: *puts the book down*
FFFan80: >\/> ...anything useful over there?
AdamSquint: *glances at the books hastily, looking for anything interesting*
dragonclawsedw: No not really...
Arch mage144: *deep voice* V: It appears we have been upstaged.
dragonclawsedw: Let's get goin--
AdamSquint: ...
AdamSquint: What is that?
FFFan80: ........
FFFan80: *gets sword ready* e\/e
Arch mage144: *standing in the doorway is a fairly tall drow with white hair and burning, reddish eyes, his body wrapped in a midnight blue cloak with the hood down*
AdamSquint: ....drow...
dragonclawsedw: O.o GAH! That better not be Amana!
FFFan80: O_@ *facefaults*
Arch mage144: *in one hand, he grips a staff made of black oak with a greenish gem at the tip*

dragonclawsedw: ....Eh?
dragonclawsedw: >.> *looks to Hakaril*
AdamSquint: o.o?
Arch mage144: *the expression on Hak's face is twisted into one of utter and complete rage, and the sigil crowning the staff in his hand glows accordingly, throwing off purple light and sparks in all directions*
FFFan80: ......?
Arch mage144: YOU!
AdamSquint: GAH!
FFFan80: <.<? ....the hell?
dragonclawsedw: O.o Hakaril?!

Arch mage144: YOU BASTARD! You...you KILLED HIM!
FFFan80: .....?
Arch mage144: AND YOU MADE ME WATCH!
dragonclawsedw: O_o What....is Hakaril talking about?
Arch mage144: D: ...it was a fitting end, in my eyes.

Arch mage144: ...yes.

Arch mage144: *the other mastiff winces, but seems otherwise unaffected, and D'vinn brushes off the attack entirely*
Arch mage144: (Stephan!)
AdamSquint: IM: Dammit! Now now, don't get greedy..one out of three ain't bad.
FFFan80: e\/<++++ *clutches at sore side* You pissed off the WRONG MAN TODAY, @$#@$@#!!!
Arch mage144: D: I fear such feeble tricks of light cannot harm me...
AdamSquint: ...feeble tricks of light?
Arch mage144: D: As your "friend" Hakaril knows, I'm certain.
AdamSquint: eVe
Arch mage144: eVe###
Arch mage144: D: ...a shame he didn't learn his lesson...
FFFan80: >\/>+++ *thrusts at the Mastiff that bit him*
Arch mage144: D: I thought if I killed one of his friends for standing against me...he'd know better than to do it again.
AdamSquint: o_o you...MONSTER!
dragonclawsedw: *holds her sword steady*
Arch mage144: *Stephan's blade tears off a large hunk of the mastiff's shoulder muscle, causing it to wince in pain and whimper loudly*
AdamSquint: v_v You give a bad name to drow!
Arch mage144: (Ara)
Arch mage144: I'M GOING TO KILL YOU, DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME!?
dragonclawsedw: IM: I'll show him a fancy light trick...
Arch mage144: I'M GOING TO STICK YOUR HEAD ON A PIKE IN THE DOMAN COURTYARD!
dragonclawsedw: *chants*
AdamSquint: <_<;;;
dragonclawsedw: Earth dragon lord....*etc etc*
Arch mage144: I'M GOING TO CASTRATE YOUR CORPSE WITH A RUSTY SAW!
AdamSquint: IM: Rage...anger...o_o That's what he WANTS!
FFFan80: >\/>??
dragonclawsedw: DRAGON SOUL BEAM!
FFFan80: O_@ IM: ...she can use that thing TOO!?!
Arch mage144: *the massive burst of soul energy, conjured forth by the will of the Eternal Dragon Warrior and furthered by the powers of the dragon lords...*
Arch mage144: *...is, unfortunately, rapidly dissipated by an on the spot force of will competition between D'vinn and the caster*
AdamSquint: o__O
Arch mage144: D: Tricks of light, my lady...
AdamSquint: IM: HOLY MITHRA!
FFFan80: O_o
dragonclawsedw: OVO
Arch mage144: D: Learn some effective magic and try again!
dragonclawsedw: eVe######################
Arch mage144: *a surge of astral energy jolts through the air, slamming into Ara forcefully and causing her to feel extremely ill*
dragonclawsedw: >.<##
dragonclawsedw: OVo GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
Arch mage144: *a sudden shock runs through her system as she feels excess mana channeled outward through her body against her will (Aya loses 44 HP and 22 MP.)*
AdamSquint: o_O
dragonclawsedw: *coughs a bit and shudders visibly, looking a bit pale*
Arch mage144: *the first mastiff leaps at the ryuuzoku as well, eager to finish what its master started...*
AdamSquint: ARA!
dragonclawsedw: >.o .. O.O AH SHIT!
FFFan80: >_>!!! F*&K!
Arch mage144: *however, Ara nimbly dodges the attack just in time*
dragonclawsedw: *hisses, lying on her side*
Arch mage144: Will...you...just...lay down...AND DIE!?
Arch mage144: *Hakaril levels the staff at D'vinn again, a look of utter hatred and rage grimly illuminating his face*
AdamSquint: IM: Such rage...o_o
Arch mage144: *a second jet of black energy erupts from the staff's tip towards D'vinn, slamming against him and again throwing him against the stone wall, the sickening sound of crunching bone echoing in the chamber*
FFFan80: >.o;; ...such...p..power...
Arch mage144: (D'vinn takes 136.)
Arch mage144: (Squintz.)
FFFan80: But... I thought Hak said... *looks Hakaril over*
dragonclawsedw: o.< Holy hell....
Arch mage144: DIE, DAMN YOU!
AdamSquint: *grabbing his sword, he charges at the last dog, leaping and slashing*
AdamSquint: ARRAHHHH!
Arch mage144: BURN IN THE PRISON THE GODS MADE FOR THE DECEASED OF YOUR KIND!
XStrike8: (DIE IN OBSCURITY!!!)
Arch mage144: *Squintz's slash manages to cleave off one of the mastiff's legs, causing purplish black ichor to erupt from the wound and spray the floor tiles*
Arch mage144: (Stephan!)
FFFan80: >\/o;;; ...Time to finish this damned thing off...
FFFan80: *goes toward the less-legged Mastiff for a chopping swing* >\/>+
Arch mage144: *with one last mighty chop...Stephan lops the creature's head off, a similar spray of ichor now exploding from the creature's neck as its corpse drops to the ground, lifeless*
Arch mage144: D: *coughs quietly* I refuse...to be defeated...by my own STUDENT!
FFFan80: 6\/< ...*pant*...*pant*...
dragonclawsedw: eVe Hsssssss....
dragonclawsedw: *starts chanting something in ryuuzoku* eVe
Arch mage144: *D'vinn raises his hand, palm outstretched, towards Hakaril...*
dragonclawsedw: Sieema...sieema...cloakia....terra....e.e
AdamSquint: *thinks*
Arch mage144: *...and a very grim laughter echoes in the chamber as a thick column of black energy lances from D'vinn's hand, catching the archmage in the chest*
Arch mage144: O_O
Arch mage144: O.<;;;;
AdamSquint: O_O
AdamSquint: HAKARIL!
dragonclawsedw: HAKARIL! O.O
FFFan80: ....damn.... e_e;
Arch mage144: *a phantasmal creature in the shape of a scythe holding wraith materializes before Hakaril, bringing its blade down, and cleaves across his body, causing his eyes to bulge momentarily before rolling back in his skull*
AdamSquint: O_O
dragonclawsedw: O.O HAKARIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FFFan80: O_o;;; ...the f*&K!?
AdamSquint: eVe
Arch mage144: *the mage crashes to the ground with a resonating thud as the staff in his hand slams to the ground beside him, clattering against the stone*
AdamSquint: Okay, you son of a bitch...
FFFan80: 6.6;;;
FFFan80: e.e;;
Arch mage144: D: ...I should have just killed him years ago.
AdamSquint: When you start to hurt my friends...THAT'S when you face the true power of Squintz Altec, Paladin of Mithra! eVe
dragonclawsedw: oVO GRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!
AdamSquint: *his eyes start to go towards white*
Arch mage144: (Ara is indeed up.)
dragonclawsedw: VU VRAMIER! OVO
dragonclawsedw: *slams both of her hands on the ground*
Arch mage144: *a large stone golem rises from the floor, beating its chest with rage...*
Arch mage144: *...and the creation dashes towards D'vinn, crushing him with a mighty punch to the chest, causing the elf to crumple*
dragonclawsedw: eVe *seething*
Arch mage144: *D'vinn coughs, a bit of blood soaking the front of his robes*
AdamSquint: eVe
Arch mage144: D: ...now...is not the time for my death...
AdamSquint: YES IT IS!
dragonclawsedw: Wanna bet?! eVe
Arch mage144: (Squintz.)
AdamSquint: *begins charging towards D'vinn, his eyes already white, and thrusting right at his heart*
Arch mage144: *meanwhile, the prone Hakaril, balancing narrowly on a hair-thin tightrope between life and death, coughs as well, though much more quietly*
Arch mage144: *the paladin's blade thrusts towards D'vinn, with the absolute intent on piercing his most vital of organs, ending his life on the spot, and avenging all who had suffered at his hands...*
AdamSquint: (Oh, yes, he was using Redemption's Rage, like it matters. ^^;; )
Arch mage144: *and the drow, aware of this, in an act of desperation, raises his hand...of which is utterly and completely ruined by the blade piercing through it...and the sword's point embeds itself in the drow's rib*
Arch mage144: (D'vinn takes 29...)
Arch mage144: *D'vinn coughs again, hacking up a bit of his lifeblood onto Squintz's clothing*
AdamSquint: eVe
Arch mage144: D: ......
Arch mage144: D: ...even if I were to die...
Arch mage144: D: ...my end is not forever...and not in vain...
Arch mage144: D: For the seeds of hatred...have been sewn.
dragonclawsedw: *quietly orders the golem to stand in front of Hakaril*
Arch mage144: (Stephan)
AdamSquint: eVe You...will die today....
AdamSquint: ...and you WILL die in vain.
Arch mage144: D: ...how singleminded.
AdamSquint: It's not being singleminded...
FFFan80: ...whatever @#$#@er...
AdamSquint: it's being SMART.
FFFan80: e_e ...you won't be around to see it...
Arch mage144: D: You will never...realize what a fool you are...elf.
FFFan80: -\/-++ *starts to channel dark energy into his blade*
dragonclawsedw: eVe *hisses*
AdamSquint: I KNOW where I'm a fool.
AdamSquint: I need not discover it. eVe
FFFan80: (Void Slash, D'vinn)
Arch mage144: *a blade shaped crescent of shadow energy rips forth from Stephan's blade, just bypassing Squintz and slicing into D'vinn's chest, causing his eyes to widen for a moment with shock as he finds he lacks the necessary willpower...*
Arch mage144: D: ...he'll hate you.
dragonclawsedw: .....*snort* I bet he hates everyone....
FFFan80: e_e ...watch me care.
Arch mage144: *and at last, the dark elf D'vinn, servant of Nikumu and master of the mental arts...falls, dead, slumped against the wall as a lifeless corpse*
dragonclawsedw: ....HAKARIL!
dragonclawsedw: *runs over to him* HAKARIL! O.O
Arch mage144: *the mage's skin is paler than usual, and he does not seem to respond to Ara's calls*
AdamSquint: eVe May Mithra have mercy upon your soul.
AdamSquint: *turns and goes to Hakaril*
dragonclawsedw: Hakaril! O.O
dragonclawsedw: *places both hands on him and starts chanting*
FFFan80: -\/- ...hmph... *places his sword back*
AdamSquint: *does so too*
FFFan80: .............
FFFan80: <.< .............
AdamSquint: HEAL!
FFFan80: ....so....uh....
AdamSquint: *casts his spell*
dragonclawsedw: *winces, seeming to strain to cast her own spell*
FFFan80: ...is uptight mage there Ok?
Arch mage144: *a golden light surrounds Hakaril...and, after a moment, the mage begins to breathe again, in short, ragged gasps*
dragonclawsedw: >.< REGROWTH!
AdamSquint: o_o You're alive! ^_^
Arch mage144: *the large number of healing spells seem to stabilize his condition, but only to some extent--Hakaril moans softly before collapsing again on the stone, unmoving except for his somewhat irregular and whispery breathing*
AdamSquint: o_o
AdamSquint: ..this is bad...
dragonclawsedw: <.< ... >.> There's gotta be a way outta here...
FFFan80: >.e; ...indeed...
dragonclawsedw: Maybe back to the acadamy....yes!
AdamSquint: I say we take him to Gunnir.
AdamSquint: yes...
dragonclawsedw: They'll be able to help us there!
Arch mage144: .......d...ie.
AdamSquint: o.o
dragonclawsedw: Hakaril...calm down, it's going to be okay!
Arch mage144: ...y...you...
FFFan80: ....*slight* problem....
AdamSquint: He is dead, Hakaril.
Arch mage144: ...kk...
FFFan80: e_e ...where the hell *IS* it?
Arch mage144: *Hakaril's eyes flutter and close*
dragonclawsedw: >.> *looks around the room*
AdamSquint: *sheaths his sword, and reaches to pick up Hakaril*
AdamSquint: ....somebody take the staff...and try to keep an even mind.
dragonclawsedw: I'll take it....
dragonclawsedw: *reaches out to grab the staff*
Arch mage144: *the staff lies on the ground next to Hakaril...the only other things of interest, really, in the room, are D'vinn's corpse, D'vinn's staff, and a door on the other side of the room (not the one they entered through)*
AdamSquint: ...try to be happy while holding it.
Arch mage144: *Ara picks up the staff, which is cool to the touch...almost chilling*
dragonclawsedw: ^_^ ....cold..
AdamSquint: *looks at D'vinn's corpse.
AdamSquint: **
dragonclawsedw: >.> *eyes D'vinn's corpse*
AdamSquint: ...should we take that as well?
dragonclawsedw: *scoots over to it and starts to search it*
dragonclawsedw: Maybe he's gotta map or something...
Arch mage144: *Ara does not find a map, and instead, she finds a rather long dagger with a hilt decorated with a purple handle with what looks like a sky full of stars swirling in it*
Arch mage144: *the end of the grip is shaped like a black star itself*
dragonclawsedw: O.o .. ooooo.....
AdamSquint: *carries/drags Hakaril over to the corpse, and tries to pick it up too*
dragonclawsedw: Pretty
Arch mage144: *Squintz is not quite strong enough to carry both the mage and D'vinn*
Arch mage144: *and they're way too cumbersome*
AdamSquint: ...can someone help me?
AdamSquint: Stephan?
dragonclawsedw: Golem!
dragonclawsedw: Pick up the ugly dead guy!
FFFan80: ....*ahem*
FFFan80: e_e;;; *points to busted leg*
AdamSquint: ...right.
Arch mage144: *the golem wanders over, lifts D'vinn up and throws him over its shoulder*
dragonclawsedw: *slips the dagger into her boot*
AdamSquint: *takes the staff D'vinn had and uses it to support himself*
AdamSquint: There...
AdamSquint: let's get going...
Arch mage144: *there's two ways out--one they came in, and another door*
AdamSquint: *looks at the other door*
Arch mage144: *it's a fairly standard wooden door*
AdamSquint: ..it's probably the best choice to use that door...the way we came would require us to go back up..
dragonclawsedw: *heads for the other door*
dragonclawsedw: Right, going up wouldn't be good for Stephan
FFFan80: >\/> ...nice of ya to think of me...
Arch mage144: *Ara, assuming that she opens the door, sees that the next "room" looks more like a starfield--the walls are black, and pinpricks of white light move around like you might see (nowadays) at a planetarium*
dragonclawsedw: O.o ... Pretty...
dragonclawsedw: *walks in*
AdamSquint: What is? *hobbles over*
AdamSquint: ooooh...you're right..
Arch mage144: *as Ara stands in the room, she hears a voice echoing in her head*
Arch mage144: This is your gateway to your destination...
dragonclawsedw: O.O;;
Arch mage144: ...where would you like to go?
dragonclawsedw: Who said that?!
dragonclawsedw: Uh....the Gunnir academy?
Arch mage144: ...are you sure?
dragonclawsedw: Yea! Wait....um..
FFFan80: ...well, where the hell ELSE could we go?
dragonclawsedw: <.< Hey guys come in here now!
AdamSquint: *hobbles in*
Arch mage144: ...the fates that rule the cosmos shall take you all to your destination.
dragonclawsedw: *becons her golem in too*
Arch mage144: *the golem follows*
AdamSquint: o.o
dragonclawsedw: We'd like to go to the main hall of the Gunnir academy please
Arch mage144: These walls have been imbued, over time, with the powers of all things, as one might expect of such a place...this is the focal point for your journey...
Arch mage144: ...and it shall be your gateway to your destination.
AdamSquint: o.o
Arch mage144: *the entire group feels a sudden wave of coldness wash over them*
AdamSquint: *shivers*
dragonclawsedw: >.<
Arch mage144: *...and they are all standing in a starry void, only this time, it's more like floating instead of being in a room*
FFFan80: 6_6;;;;
AdamSquint: o.o
Arch mage144: *and as suddenly as the stars appeared, they fade, leaving the group standing in the Gunnir hallway...*
AdamSquint: o_o
FFFan80: .... -.- o.o
Arch mage144: ...*and all heads turn to look at the newcomers*
dragonclawsedw: O_o;;;
dragonclawsedw: .....hi? ^_^;;
Arch mage144: Massive crowd of students: *blink, almost in unison*
AdamSquint: o_o
AdamSquint: ...um...hello?
FFFan80: o_o;;;;
AdamSquint: ...can we get some help?
Arch mage144: *through the throng comes a man who, were Aya around, she might recognize--a dark haired man in reddish robes, holding a gnarled staff*
Arch mage144: Mage: ...perhaps...
Arch mage144: M: What sort of hel.......
dragonclawsedw: We need to get to the infirmary....
Arch mage144: M: ...by the gods above.
Arch mage144: M: Every single one of them.
Arch mage144: M: ...that staff. *points to the Staff of Unrelenting Anger*
dragonclawsedw: Eh? o.o *rests it on her shoulder*
AdamSquint: ....yes...Sir Hakaril here has been injured, and he needs help...we were looking for that staff...
FFFan80: >.e ...he ain't the only one...
AdamSquint: That drow tried to kill us. *points to D'vinn's corpse*
Arch mage144: M: Yes! To...Hakaril? *looks at the barely conscious mage*
dragonclawsedw: >.> Yep, Hakaril REALLY NEEDS HEALING LIKE NOW!
AdamSquint: INDEED.
Arch mage144: M: ...Arch Magus D'vinn Ka'lath.
AdamSquint: o_o
Arch mage144: M: *quietly* We will discuss this later. NOW is the time to get out of everyone's sight!
dragonclawsedw: >.> *w* Good idea..
dragonclawsedw: Golem, come.
AdamSquint: *nods*
Arch mage144: *the mage points to a wall, which vanishes, revealing a room with beds*
FFFan80: *limps toward said room* >.e;;;
Arch mage144: *he darts in quickly, motioning to the others to follow*
AdamSquint: *hobbles inside, using the staff as support*
Arch mage144: *once everyone is in, the wall reappears*
Arch mage144: M: ...you look familiar. *squints at Aya*
dragonclawsedw: o.o I do?
Arch mage144: *Ara
dragonclawsedw: OH!
Arch mage144: M: ...aren't you the queen of Doma?
dragonclawsedw: You have my sister here!
dragonclawsedw: Where is she?!
Arch mage144: M: Safe.
dragonclawsedw: Good u.u
Arch mage144: M: My name is Arch Magus Julius Hawthorne VI.
dragonclawsedw: Hawthorne....O.o Hey aren't you the founder??
Arch mage144: H: I met your sister the other day...her and a pair of others...oh no.
AdamSquint: ...no...he is the fourth..o.o
Arch mage144: H: That was my great-grandfather.
Arch mage144: H: Unfortunately, the school is no longer owned by the Hawthorne family...it is now ruled by a differnet governing body.
Arch mage144: H: But now is not the time to discuss politics!
AdamSquint: *hobbles over and lays Hakaril on a bed*
AdamSquint: *stretches his back* Ahhhh...
Arch mage144: H: ...you are carrying...Hakaril Silvar...and the presumed corpse of Arch Magus D'vinn Ka'lath.
AdamSquint: Yes.
Arch mage144: H: ...and the Staff of Unrelenting Anger.
Arch mage144: H: Tell me...was D'vinn seeking the staff?
AdamSquint: I suppose so...
Arch mage144: H: ...and you found it...where?
dragonclawsedw: Um...somwhere in the basement..
AdamSquint: Yes...
Arch mage144: H: ...why does THAT figure.
dragonclawsedw: Hakaril'll be okay right?
Arch mage144: H: He seems to be alive...what happened to him?
AdamSquint: D'vinn used a powerful spell on him...
dragonclawsedw: Something....yeah something awful...
AdamSquint: ..it looked like the Reaper himself sucked the soul out of him...
dragonclawsedw: Uh what do I do with this? *holds up staff*
Arch mage144: H: ...I don't want it.
Arch mage144: H: No one with any sense would.
dragonclawsedw: Well what do I do with it?
AdamSquint: ...that's a good question.
Arch mage144: H: ...we'll figure it out later.
Arch mage144: H: ...did anyone...use it?
AdamSquint: ..Hakaril did.
Arch mage144: H: ........
Arch mage144: H: May whatever gods he prays to have mercy on him...
AdamSquint: *nod*
Arch mage144: *Hakaril suddenly snaps awake, his eyes opening*
dragonclawsedw: ....why....? O_O
dragonclawsedw: Hakaril! You're okay!
dragonclawsedw: *hugs him*
FFFan80: <.< ...looks like he's Ok...
Arch mage144: LET GO OF ME!
FFFan80: <\/<?
dragonclawsedw: O.O;; *backs off*
AdamSquint: o_o
Arch mage144: *Hakaril's eyes widen considerably, every portion of the whites of his eyes and his irises turning black as he leaps to his feet, staggering shakily*
Arch mage144: YOU KILLED HIM, DIDN'T YOU!?
Arch mage144: NO...IMPOSSIBLE!
Arch mage144: WHERE IS HE!?
dragonclawsedw: O_O ....yes...?
AdamSquint: Dead...
Arch mage144: NO! >_<
AdamSquint: *points to the corpse*
dragonclawsedw: *points to the dead body*
Arch mage144: NO NO NO NO NO NO NO! >.<
FFFan80: o\/o;;; ....the hell?
Arch mage144: ...*Hakaril raises a hand, blasting off the golem's arm holding D'vinn with a column of whitish light*
FFFan80: O_o;;
dragonclawsedw: >.o *winces* Hey!
AdamSquint: o_o
Arch mage144: *he leaps forward, pulling his sword from hits sheath, and, in a very brutal display, drives the weapon through D'vinn's corpse's forehead*
AdamSquint: ...
Arch mage144: DAMN YOU! DAMN YOU!
dragonclawsedw: ....>.o ....
FFFan80: o_o;;;;
dragonclawsedw: ....
AdamSquint: IM: It's hard to not see through your vow...
FFFan80: ...what the hell are you doing?!
Arch mage144: DAAAAMN YOU! ,>.<,
dragonclawsedw: It...appears he's mutilating the corpse.
Arch mage144: *sobbing, the archmage collapses on the body of his fallen enemy*
dragonclawsedw: *stands* Hakaril....?
dragonclawsedw: *walks over to him*
FFFan80: >\/>? Why? We already killed the damn guy...
dragonclawsedw: As he said....that guy took the life of one of his friends....
FFFan80: ..........
dragonclawsedw: u.u It's only understandable that he wanted to kill him himself...
Arch mage144: *Hakaril appears to take no notice of either Ara or Stephan, the only noise of response the sound of angered sobs*
AdamSquint: o.o
dragonclawsedw: Hakaril.... *reaches out to touch his shoulder*
AdamSquint: *looks uncomfortable*
dragonclawsedw: Hakaril, I'm sorry..... u.u
FFFan80: ......
FFFan80: <.<;; ...*has no idea what to do*
Arch mage144: *the mage slowly stands up and turns around*
Arch mage144: ...*his eyes are lowered towards the floor*
Arch mage144: ...you...you denied me something...I thought I would never have...and then the chance came...
dragonclawsedw: IM: Ooooh crap....
AdamSquint: o.o
AdamSquint: IM: Shit.
Arch mage144: H: Hakaril.
dragonclawsedw: *takes a few steps back* u.u
FFFan80: ...now just a damn minute... e_e+
Arch mage144: ...you don't understand, do you. u_u
Arch mage144: DO YOU!@?
Arch mage144: *!?
FFFan80: ........
dragonclawsedw: *remains quiet*
AdamSquint: .....
Arch mage144: .........I hated him.
Arch mage144: *glares at Hawthorne*
Arch mage144: You KNEW he was like this!
Arch mage144: You knew who he really was, deep down!
Arch mage144: And you never DID anything!
FFFan80: <.< .......
Arch mage144: H: ...I couldn't, Hakaril.
dragonclawsedw: ......
Arch mage144: ...I want to have a necromancer animate his body so I can spit in his face before I murder him.
Arch mage144: LIKE HE KILLED MASAHIRO! ,>.<,
FFFan80: ..........
AdamSquint: IM: Should I tell him about the necromancer I know?
Arch mage144: .........
dragonclawsedw: ......
dragonclawsedw: IM: Well this is awkward...
Arch mage144: I...I...*sits down on the bed again*
FFFan80: >\/>;;; IM: ...godsdammit...
Arch mage144: ......
Arch mage144: Keep that staff away from me.
Arch mage144: I'd probably level Gunnir with it.
AdamSquint: o.o
dragonclawsedw: No problem....^^;;;
AdamSquint: Yeah...
FFFan80: Yeah... last thing we need is you blowing us up with it too >\/>;;;
Arch mage144: *sighs*
Arch mage144: ...I...I shouldn't be angry at you...
AdamSquint: so...
Arch mage144: ...you're...my friends...right?
AdamSquint: Right. *nod*
dragonclawsedw: Yes Hakaril...we're you friends!
FFFan80: ............ >\/>;
Arch mage144: ...hating you accomplishes nothing.

FFFan80: e_e+
FFFan80: -_-;;; *sighs*
FFFan80: ...look at it this way...
FFFan80: <\/< If this guy was such a big @#$#@... he's gone now...
FFFan80: -\/- ....can't do anything else...
Arch mage144: ......
Arch mage144: He killed him. ,-.-,
dragonclawsedw: And we killed him. u.u
Arch mage144: ...but...I guess...either way...he's avenged.
AdamSquint: Yes...
Arch mage144: H: ...sorry to interrupt...but...
FFFan80: ....indeed....
dragonclawsedw: You were still a part of his death...
dragonclawsedw: Eh?
AdamSquint: Avenging a friend's death is not about killing the killer...
AdamSquint: yes?
FFFan80: <\/<? ...what?
Arch mage144: H: You do realize this will have to be explained to the Gunnir Council.
FFFan80: o\/o ...the same 'wise' people who let this guy stick around?
FFFan80: <\/< ...we're @#$#@ed....
dragonclawsedw: No we're not...
AdamSquint: he was trying to kill US.
dragonclawsedw: ^_^ *grins* Not as long as we have my sister on our side!
FFFan80: ......
FFFan80: e_e;; ...you mean the unconcious one?
dragonclawsedw: Hey she's better now... *looks to Hawth* Right?
Arch mage144: H: I believe you...
Arch mage144: H: ...they might not.
Arch mage144: H: She should be.
AdamSquint: ...wonderful. v_v
dragonclawsedw: Good! We have a teacher and the queen of Doma on our side!
FFFan80: ...against an entire ACADEMY e_e;
dragonclawsedw: I bet there's only a small portion of the student body that supported D'vinn...
Arch mage144: H: You do realize that the Academy doesn't answer to Doma.
Arch mage144: H: ...you'd be amazed.
Arch mage144: H: The school demographics are about 20% drow.
dragonclawsedw: 80% everything else...
AdamSquint: ...
Arch mage144: H: True. But the Council suspected him of being...many things...
AdamSquint: would that 80% support D'vinn just because he was a drow?
AdamSquint: *20%
dragonclawsedw: What do you mean suspected?
Arch mage144: H: Most likely.
dragonclawsedw: Not trusted right?
Arch mage144: H: ...yes, he's been suspected of many...cruel and unnecessary acts.
Arch mage144: H: Including the death of three students.
AdamSquint: hmmm..
Arch mage144: H: One of them was...Hakaril's best friend and roommate.
Arch mage144: -.-
dragonclawsedw: ....why didn't they do anything about this before?!
Arch mage144: H: Not enough evidence.
dragonclawsedw: IM: I already know the answer to that....
FFFan80: Plus...
FFFan80: -\/- ...the old 'I scratch your back, you scratch mine' mentality...
FFFan80: >\/> ...he probably knew a few things about the other higher ups, I'd bet.
Arch mage144: H: ...the Council has been somewhat...corrupted over the years.
dragonclawsedw: *eyes the staff of unrelenting anger in her hands*
FFFan80: e_e ...there's a big shocker.
Arch mage144: H: The only one I know for sure I can trust is Archmage Wray...
dragonclawsedw: Surprise surprise...
dragonclawsedw: *snarls lowly*
AdamSquint: Wray?
Arch mage144: H: He's the actual head of the Council.
AdamSquint: ah...
FFFan80: ...uh lizard girl...
FFFan80: e_e ...could you put that down before you blow us to kingdom come?
Arch mage144: H: The others...some of them would support D'vinn...
dragonclawsedw: Eh? *looks to the staff*
dragonclawsedw: Hey can I snap this thing in half?
AdamSquint: ...I doubt it.
Arch mage144: H: ...*sighs* I know very little, in all honesty...except that about half of the Council is supporting a gradual expansion of Gunnir as an independant country.
AdamSquint: If it was that easy, it would have been done before.
Arch mage144: H: Even if you could, you wouldn't want to.
dragonclawsedw: Gunnir as a country?
dragonclawsedw: ....uh how do we destroy this thing?
Arch mage144: H: ...you can't.
dragonclawsedw: What?!
Arch mage144: H: Just what I said.
AdamSquint: Nikumu made it himself.
Arch mage144: H: It'd take far more power than any of us could command to destroy it.
AdamSquint: You can't undo a god's work...
FFFan80: ....A GOD made it, duh. -\/-;
dragonclawsedw: Well then we'll have to give it to another god to destroy...
AdamSquint: ...how?
Arch mage144: H: ...you know any gods, miss?
AdamSquint: Just waltz up to Ryuugami and ask her to destroy it?
dragonclawsedw: Well I've bet ryuugami...
Arch mage144: H: Ryuugami!?
dragonclawsedw: met^
Arch mage144: H: Erm. o_O
dragonclawsedw: And Nakibe....and Stacey....
AdamSquint: ...or Mithra...or...
Arch mage144: H: ...Nakibe...Mithra...right.
Arch mage144: H: Er. We can deal with this later...
dragonclawsedw: Maybe Ayra can get Resh to destroy it...
FFFan80: ...and why would they BOTHER to help you do that?
AdamSquint: Yeah..
Arch mage144: ...*Hakaril appears to be somewhat disgusted at the moment*
Arch mage144: My own school...corrupted at the very head.
Arch mage144: I can't stand it! >_<
Arch mage144: IT MAKES ME SICK!
AdamSquint: o_o
dragonclawsedw: Even the noblests of councils can be corrupted....
dragonclawsedw: -V-
AdamSquint: Indeed.
FFFan80: ...that's life...
Arch mage144: ...I have half a mind to go up there and blast them all to ash. *seething*
AdamSquint: ..that wouldn't solve anything.
dragonclawsedw: *tightens her grip on the staff, the end beginning to spark*
Arch mage144: Then give me that staff!
Arch mage144: eVe
AdamSquint: Ara...don't.
AdamSquint: o_o
dragonclawsedw: *blink* ....ack!
dragonclawsedw: >.<
Arch mage144: ...GIVE IT TO ME!
Arch mage144: H: HAKARIL. e_e
dragonclawsedw: O.O;; No!
AdamSquint: I can't let you go and kill innocent people!
Arch mage144: H: ...you can't fight hate with more hate.
Arch mage144: H: Because either way, hate wins.
Arch mage144: *sighs angrily, but appears to be calming down...to the point where he starts weeping into his hands*
dragonclawsedw: *rests the staff behind her head on the back of her neck, draping her arms over the ends*
dragonclawsedw: Well uh...
Arch mage144: H: Alright...
FFFan80: IM: Sheesh, crying over some 'corrupt' people... bah...
Arch mage144: H: ...the only thing we can possibly do, I suppose...is wait until morning.
dragonclawsedw: u.u True...
Arch mage144: H: ...*beckons to Ara, as though he were to whisper in her ear*
dragonclawsedw: *moves closer* >.>
FFFan80: -\/- IM: He just doesn't realize that deep down... almost anyone will trade anything for their own gain...
Arch mage144: H: *w* ...keep an eye on Hakaril...he's likely to be very unstable for the next few days.
Arch mage144: H: *w* That staff...is probably going to cause him to be somewhat volatile...shifting between polar extremes of rage and depression.
AdamSquint: *appears in thought*
dragonclawsedw: *w* RIght, I'll keep an eye on him...
dragonclawsedw: *w* I'll also hold onto this...
Arch mage144: *said archmage decides to lie down and attempt to relax, staring at the ceiling...*
dragonclawsedw: *sits back on the bed, resting her back against hte wall*
Arch mage144: ......Ara...Squintz........
Arch mage144: ...Stephan...
AdamSquint: Yes?
dragonclawsedw: Hm?
FFFan80: <\/<?
Arch mage144: ...I'm sorry.
AdamSquint: it's not your fault...
dragonclawsedw: ...it's okay Hakaril *nod*
FFFan80: .........
FFFan80: ..........
FFFan80: ....guess you couldn't help it... *mutter* or some @#$#@... *mutter*
dragonclawsedw: Can I go see my sister?
Arch mage144: H: Certainly. She's down the hall, actually.
dragonclawsedw: Thanks ^_^
dragonclawsedw: *stands* I hope she's okay....
Arch mage144: H: ...she'll live.
Arch mage144: H: Though I believe she suffered a major mindwarping.
AdamSquint: *sits on the bed*
AdamSquint: ...major mindwarping?
dragonclawsedw: Yeah I know....
dragonclawsedw: I felt it too...
Arch mage144: H: ...they engaged in combat with D'vinn.
Arch mage144: *sits up* Back to school. *smirks faintly*
dragonclawsedw: Let me go see her....
AdamSquint: Ah...
Arch mage144: H: *waves a hand and the wall opens up*
dragonclawsedw: *stands, holding the staff in one hand* -.-
AdamSquint: Umm..sir?
Arch mage144: H: Yes?
AdamSquint: What do you want me to do with this? *is holding D'vinn's staff*
Arch mage144: H: o_o
Arch mage144: H: That's his staff, isn't it.
AdamSquint: yes.
dragonclawsedw: Oh I have his dagger!
FFFan80: Keep it the hell away from Hak, for one thing -\/-;
Arch mage144: H: Keep them both...do whatever you want with them, it's not my concern.
dragonclawsedw: *slips it out of her boot and holds it up proudly*
AdamSquint: ...okay.
AdamSquint: IM: I'll sell it...Noooo! Give it to ME!
AdamSquint: IM: Whatever.
FFFan80: >\/> Say... does that dagger DO anything?
Arch mage144: H: How should I know? I haven't tried scrying it yet.
dragonclawsedw: *gives it to Hawthorne* Do it then o.o
Arch mage144: H: *takes the dagger* o_o -.-
Arch mage144: H: ...tricky...
Arch mage144: H: ...fascinating at the same time.
dragonclawsedw: What's it do?
Arch mage144: H: This thing packs quite the punch. It's imbued with the spell "Gravity Reversal."
AdamSquint: o.o
dragonclawsedw: o.O Sounds fun...
Arch mage144: H: The spell kicks in occasionally when the weapon draws blood...I think.
FFFan80: ...hmmmm....
dragonclawsedw: Ooo....
dragonclawsedw: *takes the dagger back and puts it in her boot*
Arch mage144: H: And there's a simple trick on it to make it sharper, as well.
dragonclawsedw: Sharp good ne?
FFFan80: ...good in a pinch, probably...
dragonclawsedw: *heads for the exit* I'm going to visit my sister now...I'm so worried..
dragonclawsedw: She doesn't respond when I telepath her...
FFFan80: *shrug* She could just be sleeping, you know.
AdamSquint: *begins a meditation*
FFFan80: Hmmm....
FFFan80: <.<? ...why do I feel like I'm forgetting someth...*starts to step forward*
FFFan80: ...>_@;;;;; OOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!
FFFan80: *THUD*
dragonclawsedw: *goes to seek out her sis*
Arch mage144: *oh, yeah, Ara locates Aya*
dragonclawsedw: Aya!
dragonclawsedw: -.- *groan* Ara?
dragonclawsedw: Aya are you okay??
dragonclawsedw: No....I'm not....no....
FFFan80: *Wince, Teeth Grit, Growl* >.e;;;;
dragonclawsedw: *groan* It was just like having Saar in there.... ,>.<,
dragonclawsedw: *growls angrily* But he's dead...Arnast killed him, don't worry about him anymore!
dragonclawsedw: >.@ He's not...he's still out there.......

dragonclawsedw: ...... >.>;; Aya you need rest.
dragonclawsedw: ,^_<, Ehehehee....it's all true...he sees everyting...oh he brought it all before me...so clear so clear...
Arch mage144: *Hakaril, in a very Hakaril-like fashion, has managed to pass out on the Gunnir steps*
Arch mage144: *IN A BED
dragonclawsedw: He'll come back...they'll all come back!
Arch mage144: *THE GM IS RETARDED OR SOMETHING
dragonclawsedw: (XD)
dragonclawsedw: He'll come back for us....they'll all come back for us....hehehehe...nothing'll stay dead...it's all in vain!
dragonclawsedw: We never shoulda come here sister! We're such fools!
dragonclawsedw: Such fools! We've ruined everything! It's going to be our faults....heheheee....@.<
dragonclawsedw: AYA! O_O;;;
dragonclawsedw: *slaps her sister*
FFFan80: *meanwhile, Stephan is nursing a busted leg* e.<+++
dragonclawsedw: >.o useless.....I was born useless...we'll die useless....it was never meant to be...you were never meant to be sister....
dragonclawsedw: AYA SNAP OUT OF IT! OVO###
Arch mage144: *and Hawthorne is brooding in the room with Hakaril...wondering what the hell to do next...*
dragonclawsedw: *the staff in her hand sparks* eVe# STOP!
AdamSquint: *And Squintz is meditating*
dragonclawsedw: He's here! I can feel it! I can feel you! Arnast is coming back! Hehheehee...coming for me...
dragonclawsedw: oVO# *mightily slams the staff down upon her head*
dragonclawsedw: >.<####
dragonclawsedw: @_@ What elder? Scribe the historea dracorum?
dragonclawsedw: Snap out of it damn you! Are you really this weak!?

dragonclawsedw: Beats the hell outta me...the council here is corrupt apparently...
dragonclawsedw: ...surprise surprise.... *growl*
dragonclawsedw: O.o Hey what's up with that evil and forboding looking staff?
Arch mage144: *the staff glows faintly*
dragonclawsedw: It's the staff of unrelenting anger, an artifact created by the god of Hate, Nimuku meant to channel the weilder's anger into powerful magic energy...
dragonclawsedw: o_o
dragonclawsedw: ....okay.
dragonclawsedw: See? Watch this....grr! >V<
dragonclawsedw: *staff begins to spark*
dragonclawsedw: Whoah stop! O.o; Don't blow this place sky high!
dragonclawsedw: ^^;; Sorry.
dragonclawsedw: o.o I'm keeping it for now until we can destroy it.
dragonclawsedw: Uh, is that a really good idea....?
dragonclawsedw: A lotta evil things'll probably want that...
dragonclawsedw: So?
dragonclawsedw: Hey! Maybe I can break it with my sword!
dragonclawsedw: *puts the staff on the ground*
dragonclawsedw: *draws her sword*
Arch mage144: (......)
dragonclawsedw: <.<;; Uh if a god made it, I bet it'll be a bit more durable than that...
dragonclawsedw: ....oh yeah that's what the others said.....

dragonclawsedw: (Hit it Mr. GM!)
Arch mage144: *and therefore, as the adventurers drifed off into sleep...*
AdamSquint: n.n
AdamSquint: -n.n
Arch mage144: *Stephan entered the realm of dreams with his mind wrapped around lovely fantasies of his lover, Midoku...*
dragonclawsedw: -.- snaaaaaarrr....
FFFan80: -_^ ....ehehe.... snuggwy....
Arch mage144: *the Paladin of Mithra, Squintz, slept soundly through the night, solemn and meditative...*
dragonclawsedw: -.- zzzzzzrawrzzz...
Arch mage144: *Ara Mythril, the Queen's sister, managed to avoid getting angry and pondered a method to destroy the Staff of Unrelenting Anger...*
dragonclawsedw: IM: Maybe I should sit on it...
teh Dia: (XD)
dragonclawsedw: IM: ....NO.
Arch mage144: *and Hakaril, still smoldering with rage and lost in a seesaw of emotion between uncontrolled hatred and depression, finally found his way into a restful sleep...*]
Arch mage144: ...*what will happen next time? Tune in for the next episode of...Brian's RPs!*
teh Dia has left the room.
KnightsofSquare: (Restful sleep! It was behind door number TWO!)
KnightsofSquare has left the room.
