Lithaladhwen: (Is everyone here/)
Lithaladhwen
: (*?)
FFFan80
: (Possibly)
OMG Priam
: (Reporting in)
UltimateKoD
: (Probably.)
Lithaladhwen: *The last time we left our heroic hero protagonists, they had followed an elf to some rich people with a problem. Also having problems were two of the party's friends, Tassi and Myrnal. The problem itself?*
Lithaladhwen
: *This guy named Memory. Rinthron, technically, but who the hell cares. Well, he does. But again, who cares about him? To better even the odds against him, they acquired.... -dramatic chord- Vade Mecum.*
Lithaladhwen
: *When they first went up against Memory, way too much crazy shit happened for the party's comfort. So Vade Mecum took them back out and suggested that they consult people who'd been in this longer.*
Lithaladhwen
: *Namely Myrnal and Tassi.*
Lithaladhwen
: *The party had a dramatic moment and the last session ended.*
Lithaladhwen
: (Sheet links?)
Arch mage144
: *looking worried, standing around in the living room*
FFFan80

FFFan80: ( *lunk* )
OMG Priam: ( Kurt )
UltimateKoD: (Moo.)
CGNakibe: ( Damian )
CGNakibe: (Also: King Charles != Moo-ey Moo Cow)
UltimateKoD: (Agreed. I was just being cute.)
Lithaladhwen: (You can talk to each other now.)
Arch mage144
: *continues to look worried*
Arch mage144
: Okay...maybe...we can use the staff...and go inside...Tassi and Myrnal's individual dream realms?
UltimateKoD
: That would be an idea.
FFFan80: Hmm...
FFFan80
: The question is... would Memory be there too? >_>;
UltimateKoD
: Does it matter?
CGNakibe: Its better than sitting here and waiting for him to do something to them.
Lithaladhwen
: *Yanette bites her lower lip and leans down to talk quietly with her husband.*
Arch mage144
: If...
Arch mage144
: If the dream realm is not his...
Arch mage144
: ...maybe he will have less control over it.
Lithaladhwen
: *Myrnal's hand twitches a little in her sleep.*
OMG Priam
: Memory is not there.
FFFan80
: Hmmm.
Lithaladhwen
: *Tassi appears pretty comfortable.*
FFFan80
: I guess we don't have many options.
OMG Priam
: He should have no control over their personal realms, I think.
OMG Priam
: Unless he bluffs extraordinarily well, which I don't find likely.
UltimateKoD
: We don't.
UltimateKoD: *puts his "treasured artifacts" off to the side, in case they'd find harm within the realm* Someone... dial us in.
Lithaladhwen: (Agh. I can't believe you said that. Yes I can, but I think I wish you hadn't.)
FFFan80
: (*smacks Cha*)
CGNakibe
: (Thank you, Keanu)
Arch mage144
: ...dial?
CGNakibe
: Eh?
UltimateKoD: (Not Keanu. Richard Dean.)
OMG Priam: Vade Mecum, now's the time. Send us to them, and this is a rhyme.
UltimateKoD
: I dunno. Take us in her mind.
UltimateKoD: ... clever.
OMG Priam: Thanks.
FFFan80
: (Dan: Jesus, what's wrong with you people? >_<)
CGNakibe
: Heh.
Arch mage144
: Quite...clever.
FFFan80
: ....*coughs*
Lithaladhwen
: *...*
OMG Priam
: (The problem with non-in-person RPs is it is not easy to distinguish between periods of GM nonaction and in-game inaction*
OMG Priam
: )
Lithaladhwen
: *Vade Mecum does nothing.*
Lithaladhwen
: *I think you know why.*
OMG Priam
: (Thanks!)
UltimateKoD
: ... huh.
FFFan80: ...shouldn't something be happening by now? o_o;
CGNakibe
: ... is there something wrong?
Lithaladhwen
: (Oh, I didn't see that!)
Lithaladhwen
: (Shite.)
Lithaladhwen
: *Vade Mecum takes on that vaguely magical glow everyone loves to see when they ask him to do something.*
Lithaladhwen
: (That was actually a good enough rhyme that you get 30 XP for it.)
Lithaladhwen
: (Remind me of that.)
Arch mage144
: (XD)
OMG Priam
: (=D)
Lithaladhwen
: *The party finds themselves standing on a dirt road between two wheatfields. On the left the path runs back toward a thick forest, and on the right it moves on to a town or something. Sitting in the path are two kids! (cont)*
Arch mage144
: *blinks*
Lithaladhwen
: *There's a boy of about six sitting on the ground next to a girl of about nine. She's asleep and he's leaning on her shoulder watching the party. Beware of any child the GM describes. Or SHOULD YOU?*
CGNakibe
: (Come play with us!)
UltimateKoD: (We know ALL your secrets...)
OMG Priam: In retrospect, I probably shouldn't have used that rhyme already. He probably won't let me use it twice, and I could have used it when we were asking for an orange or something.
Arch mage144
: Are they...other travellers?
CGNakibe
: ... maybe.
Arch mage144
: Or...are they...part of the dreaming?
UltimateKoD
: I'd have to believe they're a part of Myrnal's psyche.
Lithaladhwen: *The boy watches them and blinks once, sitting patiently.*
OMG Priam
: I would agree. But we should be cautious nonetheless.
UltimateKoD
: *nods*
UltimateKoD: *goes over to the boy, and crouches down*
OMG Priam: *moves the staff back and forth, watching the boy's eyes*
CGNakibe
: IM: Yeah. They might ask us to play their reindeer games. Um... what? ^_^
Lithaladhwen: *the boy watches the staff, and then watches the king*
UltimateKoD
: Hey there, pal. My name's Charles. What's yours?
Lithaladhwen: Hello. I think I know you.
OMG Priam
: im: Too easily distracted. Probably not Memory.
Lithaladhwen
: You came here for my sister, didn't you?
CGNakibe
: ... sister? o.o
UltimateKoD: Is your sister Myrnal?
Arch mage144: *quirks an eyebrow*
Lithaladhwen
: *looks puzzled* Yes.
UltimateKoD
: Is she around?
Lithaladhwen: *glances over to the girl* Well, technically, she's all around. It isn't even fair for me to say I'm me.
Lithaladhwen
: But that's confusing.
Lithaladhwen
: *smile*
UltimateKoD
: I agree.
UltimateKoD: Is there a place where I can talk to her?
Lithaladhwen: *bites his lip* Um. Well, here's the thing.
Arch mage144
: Who...are you?
Lithaladhwen
: *He stands and the little girl doesn't even move.* And don't worry about her. She's no more real than I am. She doesn't wake up.
Lithaladhwen
: *nod*
Arch mage144
: Wait, Myrnal...does not wake up?
CGNakibe
: So she's asleep even here. That can't be good.
Lithaladhwen
: That's not her name, and that's not her. Not any more her than I am. But rather than have me saying "we" all the time, you should just call me Danis.
Lithaladhwen
: *grins at Daniel* You're Stephan's brother. And Damian, and the king, and Darin and ...I don't know you. *to Kurt*
UltimateKoD
: That's us.
OMG Priam: I don't know you either. It's....a pleasure to not have made your acquaintance?
Arch mage144
: Alright...Danis...
UltimateKoD
: Listen, Danis. Whatever your sister's name is now, or before, we need to talk to her.
FFFan80: Hello.
UltimateKoD
: Can you help us?
Lithaladhwen: It's okay. I'm here because she wants me to be. Or rather, because she wants you to be here. Just don't worry about it. I'll help if I can.
Lithaladhwen
: Which way are you going?
CGNakibe
: IM: This whole thing is passing strange. Boss, it passed strange a couple miles back.
Lithaladhwen: I'm over in the woods if you want me. I can be your guide, but my powers are limited and if you let me help you, you might learn things you didn't want to know. I can't help it. Okay?
OMG Priam
: I love learning things I don't want to know. Who else is in?
Arch mage144
: ...we would...appreciate your guidance, Danis.
FFFan80
: If it will help her... what else can we do?
CGNakibe
: *Shrugs* If it happens, it happens.
UltimateKoD: Very much so.
CGNakibe: Either way whatever Myrnal knows can help us.
Lithaladhwen
: All right. *nods*
Arch mage144
: IM: What does he mean when he says she does not exist or wake?
Arch mage144
: IM: Surely she exists...we have seen her living body in the real world!
Lithaladhwen
: *Danis points toward the woods and disappears. His sister also disappears. Moments later the landscape changes a bit.*
Arch mage144
: IM: How long has she been comatose, dwelling only in the plane of dreams? What is she trying to accomplish here/
Arch mage144
: *?
FFFan80
: IM: Is this what all our minds look like from within? I wonder if mine would look like Ordana...
OMG Priam
: Travel without walking. Convenient.
CGNakibe
: IM: How often in those books did people just not exist in their own dream world? About as often as you've changed your hairstyle. Hey, I LIKE my hairstyle.
OMG Priam
: im: I may have to study dream magic with a bit more scrutiny.
Lithaladhwen
: *The air fills with the smell of smoke. It seems to be coming from the village, but that doesn't seem to be where things are happening. (cont)*
Arch mage144
: IM: This surreal landscape...*headshake* It troubles me.
Lithaladhwen
: *An older woman with very long brown hair runs down the dirt road, pursued by a couple of guys who look pretty thoroughly covered in blood.*
CGNakibe
: IM: Still. Something is... broken. Yeah. She doesn't have me to muck around in here. As if that's a GOOD thing. But really. She should be here.
Lithaladhwen
: *She drops a kid in the grass at the edge of the field and makes it almost to the party before one of the guys grabs ahold of her hair and her own momentum flips her back down to the ground. She vanishes.*
UltimateKoD
: ... dear gods...
Lithaladhwen: *The same little girl the party saw before breaks out of the grass and runs for the woods. The guys pursue!*
UltimateKoD
: *does the same!*
FFFan80: >.o; IM: ...why... did something seem so familiar about that...
Lithaladhwen
: *The guys are fast enough that they phase right THROUGH the party and pull ahead of them into the woods.*
OMG Priam
: *stands his ground, presuming he will be carried by the vision*
CGNakibe
: Is... that a past memory?
OMG Priam
: Yes.
UltimateKoD
: ...
UltimateKoD: *stops*
CGNakibe: ...
FFFan80
: There's nothing we can do, Charles... v_v
CGNakibe
: I was afraid of that.
UltimateKoD: ... I guess there's nothing we can do... o.o
Lithaladhwen: *The party hears screaming! Yeah, it's kids. At least one. Loud cursing from the menfolk.*
Arch mage144
: ...can we...do anything about this?
Arch mage144
: Or are we...forced to simply observe the dream world's projections?
OMG Priam
: They are illusions. Myrnal is telling us her story.
UltimateKoD
: ... dammit, I'm going.
UltimateKoD: *heads towards the direction of the screams*
OMG Priam: ...I regret to say, I agree. *follows*
OMG Priam
: im: This dream world....so fickle!
UltimateKoD
: IM: I can't just do NOTHING. e_e
Arch mage144: *follows after Charles*
FFFan80
: ...dammit, Charles! >_< *chases*
FFFan80
: IM: You're going to get youself killed!
CGNakibe
: *follows as well* You realize that most likely nothing will come of this, right?
Lithaladhwen
: *Not far into the woods, the guys come into a clearing where the thugs have grabbed the kids and are holding them up above the ground, quite literally kicking and screaming. One's the little girl, and one's plainly Danis.*
OMG Priam
: im: Ah. No wonder.
UltimateKoD
: *will ATTEMPT to rip the thugs off them!*
Lithaladhwen: *The party can't touch anything. Not here, at least.*
UltimateKoD
: eVe
UltimateKoD: *turns away*
Lithaladhwen: *Things start happening very quickly at that point. The guy holding Danis pulls a knife and cuts the boy across the throat, tossing him down. The girl writhes until she grabs a knife from her assailant's belt.*
CGNakibe
: See? Its just... her showing us.
FFFan80
: .....
Arch mage144
: ......
Arch mage144
: This is...this is...
UltimateKoD
: *face burns* IM: This is the past. It's immutable. It's unchangable. Still... this image is... unacceptable!
FFFan80: ó_ò ...Goddess...
CGNakibe
: ... e.e IM: Though dammit I wish I didn't have to watch this..
OMG Priam
: ...I believe disgusting is the word you're looking for....*a little green himself*
Lithaladhwen
: *She manages to tag him and get away, grabbing a pack from the edge of the clearing and disappearing as she vaults some undergrowth.*
CGNakibe
: Despicable also works, among many others. e.e
Arch mage144
: ...I...how can we...be expected to simply watch this!? Why are we seeing this!?
UltimateKoD
: I still keep coming back to unacceptable.
UltimateKoD: e_e
OMG Priam: *to the sky* I see. He protected you......he still protects you.
CGNakibe
: I would agree.
Lithaladhwen
: *The guys run to follow her, and everyone disappears. Except for Danis.*
Lithaladhwen
: *He's standing behind the party, unharmed but looking kind of sad and apologetic.*
FFFan80
: ....
Arch mage144
: ...so...you...died.
CGNakibe
: She's still guilty about this, isn't she?
OMG Priam
: Not you. He.
UltimateKoD
: ... *kneels down to look Danis in the eye*
CGNakibe: I can't really blame her at all.
UltimateKoD: I am SO sorry this happened to you.
Lithaladhwen: *looks at Charles* I'm not here. I'm sorry.
Lithaladhwen
: I...uh.....
Lithaladhwen
: I'm sorry. I can only take you where she wants. Before you move on, you should know that… um. I'm supposed to help you.
Arch mage144
: I see no difference between them, even if one is only a shadow!
Arch mage144
: Why...why does she want to show us this!?
UltimateKoD
: ... alright.
Arch mage144: What will it accomplish!?
FFFan80
: v_v IM: ...bro...
OMG Priam
: Hey.
OMG Priam
: Calm down, calm down.
CGNakibe
: Darin.
CGNakibe
: We have to trust Myrnal on this.
Lithaladhwen
: I'll help you when I can. But you'll have to pass some defenses. No one was really supposed to be in here, so you'll have to force your way through. Okay?
OMG Priam
: im: Emotive....or pragmatic....
UltimateKoD
: ... he's right.
UltimateKoD: Lead the way, Danis.
OMG Priam: *to Darin* Have you never wanted to be understood?
UltimateKoD
: (*is a Doman, so, is expecting Wrexsoul.*)
CGNakibe: *looks calmly at Darin* We're in her head, sort of. We have to follow the flow within it.
CGNakibe
: (You too?)
Lithaladhwen
: He scratches the top of his head. You have to go back. To the village. Just be careful. We...she... doesn't want to hurt you. We just have to be careful.
Lithaladhwen
: *That was an emote!*
OMG Priam
: Myrnal is asking us to see what she has seen, to know where she is coming from, and hopes that we will come to understand.
Lithaladhwen
: *That thing he did was the first sentence. The GM was being weird and omittive.*
Lithaladhwen
: *And that's my word now. Omittive.*
Arch mage144
: *shakes his head* I...no...I...
CGNakibe
: ... Lets go.
Arch mage144
: ...I would never burden anyone else with my memories. *looks at the ground, plainly not interested in saying anything else*
UltimateKoD
: ... *heads that way*
FFFan80: If we don't.
Lithaladhwen
: *to Darin* It's okay. We understand better than you think.
FFFan80
: We may not be able to free her.
Lithaladhwen
: Go on ahead.
Lithaladhwen
: *vanishes*
Arch mage144
: *follow*
CGNakibe
: Do you burden yourself with your memories, Darin? Can you let go of them so easily? Even the painful ones?
Arch mage144
: *wordless, still looking at the ground*
UltimateKoD
: Our memories make us who we are.
UltimateKoD: To forget them is to forget ourselves.
CGNakibe: IM: Yes yes, now tell him about anger leading to hate. ... shut up.
OMG Priam
: *follow as well*
CGNakibe
: *Follows*
Lithaladhwen
: *The pathway to the forest has someone lying in it. There's all kinds of blood and torn clothing everywhere. It's probably that one woman.*
FFFan80
: ....v_v
UltimateKoD
: ... I pray to the gods she was at least buried. e_e
FFFan80: IM: She's not real Dan... there's nothing you can do now... but Goddess if I could...
Lithaladhwen
: *She stirs, and pushes herself up off of the ground!*
FFFan80
: o_o;
Lithaladhwen
: *She sits up and twists her head. Her neck cracks noisily. It's actually kind of gross.*
FFFan80
: ....
CGNakibe
: .. >.o;; Ow.
UltimateKoD: IM: ... this could be bad.
Lithaladhwen: *She's still covered in blood, but as she shifts and stands her joints seem to go back where they should be.*
FFFan80
: IM: It's not real it's not real stay calm stay calm....
Lithaladhwen
: *She stands in the pathway and watches the boys.*
Arch mage144
: ........
UltimateKoD
: ... uh... g-greetings.
OMG Priam: Good morning.
Lithaladhwen
: So what the hell do you want?
CGNakibe
: *Mutters* Things are starting to get interesting.
UltimateKoD: I'm ... King Charles. ... good to see you... up and around?
OMG Priam: We wish to pass.
Lithaladhwen
: Oh.
UltimateKoD
: Oh. We're... here to see ... Danis' sister?
Lithaladhwen: You've come a long way.
OMG Priam
: It is nothing compared to your path.
Lithaladhwen
: I'm here. I'll always be here. It's you who don't belong.
FFFan80
: We know that.
CGNakibe
: Eh. *shrugs* We're trying to help, and we'll leave as soon as we can.
UltimateKoD: We just need to speak to Danis' sister, and we'll be on our way.
OMG Priam: We are here, too.....most of us.
OMG Priam
: Just not now.
Arch mage144
: Miss...who are you?
OMG Priam
: im: Good gods, I hope I have my metaphors straight.
Arch mage144
: This realm is full of...unfamiliar people. I would...like to be better acquainted with its residents.
UltimateKoD
: IM: I can guess, but guessing is... not a good strategy at this junction.
Lithaladhwen: Call me Anira.
Arch mage144
: Anira...I see...and what relationship do you have with...the dreamer?
Lithaladhwen
: She's my daughter.
Lithaladhwen
: It's why I'm here. Why the hell are you here?
OMG Priam
: im: Surprise. Come on, Darin, think!
Arch mage144
: So I see...
UltimateKoD
: She's... in a situation.
UltimateKoD: We need some intelligence from her.
Lithaladhwen: No she isn't. This is where she belongs.
Lithaladhwen
: You've come a long way, but no further.
Arch mage144
: *raises an eyebrow* We...need to see her.
CGNakibe
: ... Why are you doing this?
UltimateKoD: ... ma'am, please. Just let us by.
Lithaladhwen: Look around you. Why should she be the only one who walks away? What makes her so special? No… she's staying. And if you aren't careful, you'll die here with us.
UltimateKoD
: ...
FFFan80: ...what... are you talking about? o_o;
Lithaladhwen
: You have ten seconds because I know you're her friends.
UltimateKoD
: Now I must be firm.
UltimateKoD: Stand. Aside.
OMG Priam: *taps the staff, solidly, on the ground*
FFFan80
: ...Charles... >_>;
CGNakibe
: *folds his arms* I came here for a good reason. I'm not leaving yet.
OMG Priam
: We have come here to protect Her from harm. And we shall not leave until the job is done.
Lithaladhwen
: *Anira props the collar of her coat and grins.*
Lithaladhwen
: (Roll initiative.)
OMG Priam
: With or without your clearance.

FFFan80: What do you mean... 'we' told you? o_o;
Arch mage144
: Kerran. *bows politely* We...need to find Myrnal Shalizena...are you her father?
UltimateKoD
: IM: ... I believe that was an assumption.
Lithaladhwen: Eh. Not hardly. Grandfather or somesuch. Lived with us a while. If I were here, I'd invite you to stop by, but I don't know how likely that'll be if you don't leave us alone.
CGNakibe

Lithaladhwen: (Koss says!)
FFFan80
: ...t...thanks... Charles...
UltimateKoD
: Oh, no problem. If I weren't here, you'd probably get yourself killed...
Lithaladhwen: (I just realized that Damien's life is like being stuck as the movie in an episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000)
FFFan80
: .....
CGNakibe
: (Don't forget, he has his own personal Crow)
FFFan80: (But who's Tom Servo then? =[ )
Lithaladhwen
: (Crow: "Caw, caw, BANG fuck, I'm dead.")
Lithaladhwen
: (Like that?)
CGNakibe
: (Not THAT Crow. >.>)
OMG Priam: im: And let the very landscape roar 31 years, 52 days, 9 hours, 18 seconds, and 246 jiffies, holding within it the.....wait, what? Dammit, Kurt, concentrate!
Lithaladhwen
: (Kurt!)
Lithaladhwen
: (While we're goofing off, Kurt has sense!)
Lithaladhwen
: (He can do things!)
OMG Priam
: (Hopefully!)
OMG Priam
: (SAME AS LAST TIME. THE GROUND IS VERY ANGRY.)
OnlineHost
: OMG Priam rolled 1 20-sided die: 3
OMG Priam: (OR MAYBE KURT IS VERY BAD AT GEOLOGICAL PSYCHOLOGY)
CGNakibe
: (Apparently that means it'll roll over in bed and cry itself to sleep)
Lithaladhwen: (This looks like a job for.... BIPOLAR BEAR.)
Lithaladhwen
: (If he can just get out of bed. ;_; )
UltimateKoD
: (... are we gettin' goin' again, folks?)
Lithaladhwen: (MATK?)
OMG Priam

Arch mage144
: (Cripes, man)
CGNakibe

CGNakibe
: *that harsh word is said again... and someone may want to check their eyes because Daniel seems to be the one that looks weird*
CGNakibe
: (Another 7 round +7 Blur. We can't fit another 7 in there. ;_; )
FFFan80
: IM: ...what's happened to me?
CGNakibe
: (Daniel has +7 PA for the duration!)
Lithaladhwen
: *Well, what the hey. Charles is nearby, since he decided to heal Daniel. Why the hell not go ahead and go for him this round. It occurs to the party that Kerran is going for the healers!*
OnlineHost

UltimateKoD: (Just a moment, getting AC.)
UltimateKoD: (9 for the ring mail, 8 for the pot helm.)
CGNakibe: (Two hits, Ashley?)
UltimateKoD: (... I'm scared.)
Lithaladhwen: *Kerran slams into the king with two powerful blade strikes, digging through armor with both attacks. Multiply your total AC by two and subtract that number from 93. That's 59, and how much damage Charles just took. Daniel is next.*
UltimateKoD
: ... that was unpleasant... >.e
FFFan80: *Daniel, is normally a pretty passive guy*
OMG Priam
: How dignifiedly put. *water droplets begin to become visible around Kurt*
FFFan80
: e_<
Arch mage144
: Sire!
FFFan80
: *However, saying he's upset right now would be an understatement*
FFFan80
: *Halberd in hand, Daniel charges their attacker, intent on putting out some hurt of his own this time*
FFFan80
: (5 TP for extra attack)
Lithaladhwen
: (As long as you have enough TP to support it, you do all of the things you want.)
UltimateKoD

OMG Priam
: (fine....)
UltimateKoD
: (... are you sure?)
CGNakibe: (We need to check)
CGNakibe
: (Wait, does that make Darin into Doctor Doom? o.o)
OMG Priam
: (ARE YOU OKAY?! BUSTAH WORF!)
Lithaladhwen
: *Daniel steps in front of the king, swings the halberd back and LAYS INTO that old dude. The first hit pushes Kerran back and the others just split him right the fuck open.Daniel has power when pissed and we're all quite impressed.*
UltimateKoD
: ... ... *laughs*
UltimateKoD: Damn, Daniel. Remind me to get the shit kicked out of me more often. ^_^
OMG Priam: *the droplets fall to the ground and dissipate.*
CGNakibe

UltimateKoD
: It's OK, Daniel. Dream, remember?
UltimateKoD: Anyone other than him heal? Darin?
Arch mage144: ......
CGNakibe
: Healing.... isn't exactly my "thing"
Arch mage144
: T...wh...I don't heal...no.
OMG Priam
: .....
UltimateKoD
: ... oh, wait.
FFFan80: ...
UltimateKoD
: *digs into his pouch* Potion. Forgot about these.
FFFan80: o_@ *suddenly clicks that the King is hurt*
OMG Priam
: im: ....so did I, actually.
FFFan80
: OH GODDESS WHAT THE HELL WAS I THINKING?!
UltimateKoD
: ... the right thing.
UltimateKoD: Now shut up and let's go...
FFFan80: YOU'RE HURT!
CGNakibe

UltimateKoD: *drinks the vial, and feels much better!*
FFFan80: v_v;
OnlineHost
: UltimateKoD rolled 1 10-sided die: 4
UltimateKoD: (34 HP better!)
CGNakibe: That was more... challenging... than I thought.
Arch mage144
: ...yes...
CGNakibe
: *seems visibly relieved now that he knows what this was*
FFFan80
: How much more of this do we have to go through?
Lithaladhwen
: *The little girl they've been following bursts out from the treeline and ducks into the center of town. She's carrying a crossbow in both hands because it's nearly as big as she is.*
UltimateKoD
: I don't know. How insane is Myrnal?
FFFan80: ....
CGNakibe
: She's like me.
UltimateKoD: Uh oh.
CGNakibe: If you judge by that standard, very.
UltimateKoD: *heads after Crossbow Girl*
CGNakibe: IM: Such an inflated opinion of yourself! Shut up, you.
OMG Priam
: *follows! Or, more accurately, pursues alongside.*
CGNakibe
: *Follows*
CGNakibe
: IM: You know.... Huh?
FFFan80: *follows*
FFFan80
: Do you need any more assistance, Charles?
CGNakibe
: IM: If I see she has a version of ME in here I'm going to be very, very pissed. Hah. Can't copy me, though. I'm an ORIGINAL.
CGNakibe: ....
Lithaladhwen: (Daniel, please make a missile evasion roll.)
Arch mage144

OnlineHost: Lithaladhwen rolled 2 6-sided dice: 5 2

Lithaladhwen: *A yellow-handled dagger flies through the trees and digs itself between the plates in Dan's armor. It briefly jolts him with electricity for 20 damage, and then flips back through the air and disappears through the treeline again.*
Lithaladhwen
: *It hits flatly into the palm of a black-clad woman who steps around the corner.*
FFFan80
: GARHG
FFFan80
: >_<
Arch mage144
: Myrnal!
CGNakibe
: WHat the....
OMG Priam
: What in...
CGNakibe
: .... Fucking hell....
Lithaladhwen
: Hey guys. Darin. Dan. Kurt. ...Charles. Damian.
Lithaladhwen
: How is everyone?
UltimateKoD
: ... Myrnal. Been a while.
UltimateKoD: I'm... I've been better.
Arch mage144: Why did you attack him!?
CGNakibe
: *sighs* Myrnal, you've made it quite an interesting day today.
Lithaladhwen
: You want to make bets on whose next, or do you want to come over here? I want to know if anyone here's got a pair.
OMG Priam
: *gathers energies*
Arch mage144
: What...what?
Arch mage144
: IM: Oh...I see...this isn't Myrnal, either...
CGNakibe
: *sighs and starts chanting*
Arch mage144
: IM: It's...Myrnal's...subconscious? o_O
Arch mage144
: IM: Hostile to everyone...how sad...
OnlineHost
: CGNakibe rolled 1 20-sided die: 17
UltimateKoD: ... *comes forward*
OMG Priam: We do not have pairs. We have a dozen.
CGNakibe

OnlineHost
: Lithaladhwen rolled 1 20-sided die: 6

Lithaladhwen: *Myrnal pulls an arm over her eyes and takes a few steps backward.*
Lithaladhwen
: You still can't attack me!
OMG Priam
: *contains a matrix of water bubbles over his hand*
Lithaladhwen
: You're blinding me instead!
Lithaladhwen
: You're all pussies.
CGNakibe
: *That being said, Damian strides forward as if there ain't a thing in his way*
Arch mage144
: .......
OMG Priam
: I don't know this girl. Someone tell me whether we're attacking this visage.
Arch mage144
: IM: Why not just let us in? Why be so guarded? What does she have to hide?
OMG Priam
: (*unbolds so as to have a different typeface than Myrnal*)
UltimateKoD: *puts his hand on her shoulder*
UltimateKoD: Think again.
UltimateKoD: Have you got a good bead on my location yet?
UltimateKoD: Are you able to strike?
CGNakibe: *when he gets there, he just says* Can you please just stop this?
OMG Priam
: *those water beads twitch*
UltimateKoD: Then go ahead, if you have to.
Lithaladhwen: *Charles, make a parry roll.*
OnlineHost

Lithaladhwen: *Myrnal strikes out with enough certainty of Charles' location to hit him and zap him for 24 damage.*
Lithaladhwen
: Jackass.
CGNakibe
: Stay back, Charles.
UltimateKoD: Comes with the job.
UltimateKoD: No, Damian.
Lithaladhwen: You still can't hurt me.
CGNakibe
: You know me better than that, Myrnal.
Lithaladhwen
: Everyone makes that mistake, you know.
OMG Priam
: *releases that energy! The water shoots outward, and surrounds Myrnal...*
FFFan80: CHARLES, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! o_@
Arch mage144
: Stop it! Just stop it! This is completely unnecessary, all of it!
OnlineHost
: OMG Priam rolled 1 20-sided die: 19
OMG Priam: (33)
UltimateKoD: ... dammit! This is time for TALKING, you idiots!
OnlineHost: Lithaladhwen rolled 1 20-sided die: 10
CGNakibe: I always wanted to test my skill against you... not like this, though.
Lithaladhwen
: *The water pressure blasts Myrnal back and rather than stumbling backward and hitting a tree or something, she totally dissipates. Instead of a body, several flat black daggers hit the ground where she was standing.*
Arch mage144
: ...what?
FFFan80
: o_o
FFFan80
: -_-
CGNakibe
: How very ninja, Myrnal.
FFFan80
: ...what... just happened?
UltimateKoD
: ... you do realize we were here to TALK to her, RIGHT? e_e
Arch mage144: *walks over and kneels, investigating the pile*
OMG Priam
: You fools! DREAM WORLD.
UltimateKoD: IDIOTS.
Arch mage144: She wasn't real, sire.
CGNakibe
: Yes, I realize that.
Arch mage144
: Not...not her.
UltimateKoD
: ... ugh.
OMG Priam: *sighs, dusts himself off.*
CGNakibe: I wanted to talk to her without the distractions of her trying to stab me, you know.
OMG Priam
: *takes stock of his surroundings, in all directions.*
Lithaladhwen: *Darin, kneeling to inspect the weapons, touches one and finds that it dissolves into his hand. In front of him a ways, he sees a red boot step out of a doorway several yards ahead.*
UltimateKoD
: We may not GET that chance, you realize...
Lithaladhwen: *Everyone else sees Myrnal stepping out of a ruined cottage, holding a crossbow.*
Arch mage144
: ....hm?
Lithaladhwen
: .........
CGNakibe
: Its worth a shot. Better than getting ourselves killed trying to fight every person in her subconscious.
UltimateKoD: ... here we go again...
OMG Priam: *If she even lifts that crossbow one foot...*
Lithaladhwen: ....*she looks from each one to the next until they've all been inspected*
Lithaladhwen
: Dammara. You're really here, aren't you?
FFFan80
: ....
OMG Priam
: .....
CGNakibe: *looks around... and spots Myrnal* You didn't believe it?
FFFan80
: Who are you?
UltimateKoD
: ... oh for...
UltimateKoD: Yes, we're here, Myrnal. We're here about Memory, or Rithorn, whatever the hell his name is...
OMG Priam: *watches for a little longer, judging for aggression. Presuming he detects none, he relaxes.*
Lithaladhwen: I'm... it's fine. It's me.
Lithaladhwen
: *points to the knives* Darin has his.
UltimateKoD
: ... we're supposed to take one.
FFFan80: ....
FFFan80
: *looks confused*
CGNakibe
: *picks up a knife* Haven't known you to give away blades, Myrnal. *shrugs*
UltimateKoD: *takes one as well*
OMG Priam: *stretches a little, regains some composure, and walks towards the knives, taking one*
Arch mage144: I have my what? *looks at the knives*
CGNakibe
: *chuckles* Maybe I should learn how to use them, at least.
Lithaladhwen
: *Each time a party member touches one, it dissolves and absorbs into his skin.*
Arch mage144
: ...oh, I see...
Lithaladhwen
: I made them.
UltimateKoD
: Ah... good. Something to help.
CGNakibe: *nods*
Arch mage144
: We...came to help you.
FFFan80
: *avoids touching one for now*
Lithaladhwen
: I.... You need to be able to do out there what I can do in here. I.... I think.
CGNakibe
: Its good to see you again, by the way.
UltimateKoD: ... Daniel, quit being such a wimp.
Lithaladhwen: Yeah, uh... *shifts her weight uncomfortably*
FFFan80
: ...
FFFan80
: .....
Lithaladhwen
: I... figured you'd go find Tassi first.
FFFan80
: I'm not being a 'wimp'.
Lithaladhwen
: But, uhm...since you're here.
Lithaladhwen
: I think… I think they give you some power to shape this place. I don't know I …don't think that I can use them.
Lithaladhwen
: But take them.
Arch mage144
: *quirks an eyebrow*
CGNakibe
: You probably can't. This IS your world after all.
UltimateKoD: We WILL. *looks at Daniel...*
CGNakibe: If you need a tool to change it... *shrugs*
UltimateKoD: PROBABLY not as an order...
OMG Priam: Is that so.
OMG Priam: Would you mind if I tested this?
FFFan80: >\/> ...Charles... EVERYTHING in here has been trying to kill us. How do you know this isn't going to do that too?
Lithaladhwen
: I, um. Go ahead. I'll let you.
CGNakibe
: Daniel?
CGNakibe
: Its alright.
UltimateKoD: Do you trust Myrnal or not? Hmm?
Lithaladhwen: Oh, THAT'S a question.
FFFan80
: ...
Lithaladhwen
: I hate asking that question. The answer is always terrible.
CGNakibe
: She apparently trusts us enough to give us permission.
Lithaladhwen
: Don't answer, Dan.
OMG Priam
: *points, two-fingered, at a wall, intending to shape a piece of it into a sphere.*
Lithaladhwen: *Yeah, it works.*
FFFan80
: HOW DO I EVEN KNOW THAT'S HER AND NOT SOME BLOODY VISION OF MYRNAL'S LOVE OF CATS?!
Lithaladhwen
: You happy?
OMG Priam
: Yes, thank you.
Lithaladhwen: Dan. Shut up.
UltimateKoD
: ... agreed.
FFFan80: *apparently, things are getting to him a wee bit* o_@
CGNakibe
: *suddenly has a fluffy bunny on his head*... Umm... what the... 9.9;;
Lithaladhwen
: Or I'll stab you in the face and then fix you with my crazy godpower.
UltimateKoD
: *rolls his eyes*
UltimateKoD: Daniel, I order you to take a dagger. Is that enough?
CGNakibe: =6.6= *whiffle whiffle* =Need some help there, boss?=
UltimateKoD: And no buts.
Arch mage144: ...cats?
CGNakibe
: That's actually a good question, Daniel.
CGNakibe
: IM: Why the hell did you do THAT, huh? Because it was funny. Oh, wonderful. Simply wonerful.
Lithaladhwen
: I like dogs better, for the record.
UltimateKoD
: Oh yes... how is Heinrich?
Lithaladhwen: Still missing a leg. Is this a test?
Arch mage144
: Well...this means that...we need to rescue Tassi now. *resolute fire in his eyes!*
OMG Priam
: We know it's not a vision of her animal affinity because of that. *points to the sphere. It nods.*
UltimateKoD: No, you're good.
Arch mage144: Myrnal...are you going to wake up now?
Lithaladhwen
: *turns her head as if listening to something no one else can hear*
Lithaladhwen
: I.... I can't yet. They're coming.
CGNakibe
: So, Myrnal. What do you know about this Memory person?
CGNakibe
: They?
UltimateKoD: Right.
Arch mage144: They?
UltimateKoD
: Oh.
Lithaladhwen: I can hold them off, but you need to go.
Arch mage144
: ....*nods*
UltimateKoD
: ... give me a moment!
FFFan80: ...
Lithaladhwen
: He's trying to break in. He's taking the form of people....people I knew.
UltimateKoD
: *heads off!*
CGNakibe: She says we need to go, Charles.
Arch mage144
: ...oh!
OMG Priam
: Make it quick. I'm already inventing a rhyme.
FFFan80: *sighs and picks the dagger up*
CGNakibe
: Lets go.
Arch mage144
: That...explains...quite a lot.
UltimateKoD
: I'll be right back!
Lithaladhwen: *Dan's hand sucks the dagger right in like everyone else. Everybody has one.*
FFFan80
: IM: Goddess help us all
CGNakibe
: IM: Doesn't seem like we have the time to discuss this peacefully... >.<;;;
UltimateKoD: *heading for Anira... but will turn tail and run if she's alive again...*
Lithaladhwen: *Oh, no. She's still lying right where you left her.*
Lithaladhwen
: What is he doing? He's going to.... can't he just leave her alone?
UltimateKoD
: *good. He's taking that gun, then...*
CGNakibe: I have no idea what the hell he thinks he's doing.
UltimateKoD: *heads back* OK, let's go.
Lithaladhwen: *He can do that.*
OMG Priam
: ....Vade Mecum, who has made us appear, do compel us return from here.
UltimateKoD
: IM: I don't know if this will work twice, but... it's worth it.
CGNakibe: Um, Charles? She might still need that...
FFFan80
: Huh?
UltimateKoD
: ... she almost kicked our asses. She'll be fine.
Lithaladhwen: Damian, don't worry.
Lithaladhwen
: I'll make her another.
CGNakibe
: *shrugs* Alright. If you say so.
UltimateKoD: *pockets it, like he did with the CD and battery*
Arch mage144: IM: This makes me wonder if it's possible to create ridiculous things in this world and take them with us...
Lithaladhwen
: *The staff pulls them out in the same sparkly glowy light. The last thing the party sees is Myrnal turning away and lifting her crossbow.*
UltimateKoD
: See you when you wake up, Myrnal...
Lithaladhwen: (Computer is dying. Ack. Five minutes!)
CGNakibe
: ... or perhaps before...
OMG Priam
: (I nominate this as a break point, actually)
OMG Priam: (Work at 8:30 and all)
Arch mage144: (And so it shall be)
Lithaladhwen
: *Same here, Priam. This was intended to be a session break.)
UltimateKoD
: (Let's just tie up loose ends.)
Lithaladhwen: (You don't have to nominate anything.)
UltimateKoD
: (SPEEDILY.)
CGNakibe: (The King has a collection of Misfit Toys now)
Lithaladhwen
: *When the party gets back, everyone is more or less where they left them. Myrnal's still curled up in that chair, and Tassi's on the couch.*
UltimateKoD
: *Gun?*
Lithaladhwen: *Yes, Charles has a really old model Valthi revolver. Presumably, you'll go bug the healer next.*
Arch mage144
: *You bet. Darin's not leaving his woman in dreamland!*
Lithaladhwen
: *But that....*
Lithaladhwen
: *Is a tale for next week!*
Lithaladhwen
: </RP>
UltimateKoD
: </rp>
UltimateKoD: Good stuff!
OMG Priam: EXP get? Or save it for later?
Lithaladhwen
: Later. I'll getcha later.
OMG Priam
: Cool
OMG Priam
: I'S OUT Y'ALL
Lithaladhwen
: Two minutes. Gotta reset! Love to you all, and thanks for coming tonight!
CGNakibe
: No problem.
UltimateKoD: No sweat!
