pdRydia: <Azul, wai wai lapdragon of...wainess>
Arch mage144: *when we last left our heroes, they were standing in the midst of what was presumed to be a lich's barrows...surrounded by the undead*
XStrike8: I DON'T LIKE THIS PLACE ANYMORE!!! >O<
AdamSquint: ...>_>...
pdRydia: Griao. >< *hides in Solis's clothes*
AdamSquint: *readies Wraithslayer*
Arch mage144: *a pair of floating, intangible looking, grey cloaked beings move towards the group, and a pair of rotting, decaying humanoids come up from behind*
XStrike8: SCARY!!!
dragonclawsedw: e_e Well then....this should be fun.
Arch mage144: (Combat, everyone roll 2d6 and add it to your init. 2x Spectre, 2x Ghoul.)
*OnlineHost*: XStrike8 rolled 2 6-sided dice: 3 2
*OnlineHost*: AdamSquint rolled 2 6-sided dice: 2 2
*OnlineHost*: dragonclawsedw rolled 2 6-sided dice: 3 3
AdamSquint: (7.)
XStrike8: (Init 6)
dragonclawsedw: (*forgets her base init* >.<;; )
dragonclawsedw: (11 Then)
Arch mage144: (Specter A, Spec B, Ghoul B, Aya, Ghoul A, Squintz, Solis is the init order.)
Arch mage144: *the first specter swoops at Aya, swiping at her with an intangible, misty, clawed hand*
dragonclawsedw: Gah! O_O;;
dragonclawsedw: IM: Better me than the kid at least >.o
XStrike8: T: MISS AYA!!! O.O
AdamSquint: IM: Prepare thyself...
Arch mage144: *the hand passes right through Aya, yet it freezes her to the bone, a supernatural cold that supercedes the coldest ice she'd ever been subjected to*
Arch mage144: (36 points of damage.)
dragonclawsedw: (OW.)
dragonclawsedw: >.< C-cold.....
AdamSquint: O_O Are you okay?
Arch mage144: *the second specter, sensing Squintz's nature, dives and swoops, shrieking*
dragonclawsedw: *looks sick*
AdamSquint: eVe Back, foul beast!
Arch mage144: *luckily, the hand passes through him without doing any real damage...*
AdamSquint: eVe
Arch mage144: *Solis whirls around just in time to see a misshapen humanoid, a ghoul, creeping up on him*
XStrike8: S... scary things... >.< *pulls out a card*
XStrike8: UWAAAH!!! O.O
dragonclawsedw: SOLIS! >.O
Arch mage144: *the ghouls nails rip into his skin, causing the child to cringe as blood issues from his wounds*
AdamSquint: O_O
dragonclawsedw: eVe###
AdamSquint: IM: DAMMIT! >___<
Arch mage144: (Roll a d20, Shaun.)
*OnlineHost*: XStrike8 rolled 1 20-sided die: 5
XStrike8: ;_; THAT HURT!!!
Arch mage144: *Solis's body shakes as an almost paralyzing fear unnerves him*
Arch mage144: (Aya.)
dragonclawsedw: PIECE OF SHIT!!! *reaches both her hands back, charging a ball of white energy in her hands, glaring at the ghoul that dared harm a child before unleashing the blast upon the loathsome creature* CHAOTIC DISINTEGRATION!
AdamSquint: O_o
Arch mage144: (Holy fuck, Aya's pissed. *rolls dice*)
Arch mage144: *as Aya releases the blast, the air vibrates and shakes, and the entire room quivers with immense power*
pdRydia: *whimpers*
Arch mage144: *the attack strikes the ghoul with intensity, leaving nothing, not even a trace of ash*
Arch mage144: (204 damage.)
AdamSquint: IM: I hope this sword is all that it was said to be....
Arch mage144: *the other ghoul, enraged by the loss of its partner, takes a swipe at Aya*
Arch mage144: *the creature's nails rip into Aya's skin, causing bloody tracks across her middle* (20 damage, Aya is at 6 HP, and will be -6/-6 until healed)
AdamSquint: MISS AYA!
dragonclawsedw: >.< Argh...*staggers*
Arch mage144: (Squintz is up.)
AdamSquint: *hurries to her side, forming a ball of healing energy and touching her forehead, trying to heal her wounds*
AdamSquint: Don't worry...
dragonclawsedw: Cold >.<
AdamSquint: ....cold...?
AdamSquint: O_o
XStrike8: Get away!!! Get AWAY!!! >O< *swings futily at the various ghouls and such... not quite able to bring himself close to any*
Arch mage144: *Aya feels a rejuvenating warmth spread throughout her body, causing her to feel somewhat better (15 HP recovered, 21/62 HP, she's good)
AdamSquint: o_o
Arch mage144: *meanwhile, Solis swings futilely at ghouls and whatnot*
AdamSquint: e_e We must stop them...
XStrike8: Someone get rid of the mean bad evil things!!! ;_;
Arch mage144: *the first specter, the one that attacked Aya, swoops over towards Squintz*
dragonclawsedw: o.o Poor Solis.. >.o
Arch mage144: *the creature attempts to touch him with its icy hand...*
AdamSquint: O_O
Arch mage144: *and Squintz hops out of the way narrowly*
Arch mage144: *the second specter rushes him as well, ganging up on the poor holy knight...*
AdamSquint: IM: Ahh!
dragonclawsedw: Squintz! O_O
Arch mage144: *and he feels a chilling, icy sensation that induces incredible nausea, forcing him to fight to keep from expelling his stomach's contents*
AdamSquint: IM: Urg...
AdamSquint: urrr.r....p....
Arch mage144: *the wave of chilling dark energy saps his life force, reducing his strength (25 damage)*
Arch mage144: (Aya)
dragonclawsedw: O.O Squintz!
dragonclawsedw: *growls* Rotten....*lifts both hands into the air, chanting, palms glowing red as a shower of small fireballs spreads out over centered at the other ghoul (nonwraith thing)* INFERNO ARRAY!!
Arch mage144: *fireballs slam into the ground, exploding and causing massive chunks of rock and flame to erupt everywhere*
Arch mage144: *however, the ghoul is apparently unaffected*
dragonclawsedw: O_O Gah! Shit!
Arch mage144: *and it takes the opportunity to dash forwards, lunging to bite Aya*
AdamSquint: O_O MISS AYA!
KnightsofSquare has entered the room.
XStrike8: IM: Mean ghost-thingies... bad things!!! ;_; GET EM AWAY!!!
Arch mage144: *the creature sinks its yellowed yet sharpened teeth into Aya's shoulder, tearing a chunk of flesh away and gnawing at her upper torso and neck*
AdamSquint: O_O
Arch mage144: *without warning, she feels her muscles lock up, and she falls to the ground, the world going white around her* (Aya takes 22. She's paralyzed and at 0 HP.)
Arch mage144: (Squintz is up.)
dragonclawsedw: (0 HP?)
AdamSquint: YOU UNHOLY BASTARDS!
Arch mage144: (Yes. 0 HP.)
AdamSquint: *swings his sword at the ghoul that attacked Aya* eVe
dragonclawsedw: >.< *groan*
Arch mage144: (Slash, I assume?)
AdamSquint: (yeah.)
dragonclawsedw: ^-.-^ .....
Arch mage144: *the blade bites into the ghoul, causing a jet of black issue to erupt from the creature's wound and spray all over Squintz, soaking him in the vile body fluids of the undead*
Arch mage144: (Solis.)
Arch mage144: (And 25 damage.)
XStrike8: IM: Mean.... mean..
AdamSquint: eVe
XStrike8: eVe
dragonclawsedw: -.-
AdamSquint: Hasheet! Anee Haseet!
XStrike8: Wheels of fate, Twist and Turn.... From what once was, to what never Will Be....
XStrike8: Priestess of magic, I call upon the... turn the very hands of fate against them... PRIESTESS REVERSED *aims his spell at the nearest handy ghost-thingy*
pdRydia: *punctuates the end of Solis's spell with a haughty "MEEP"* >\/>
dragonclawsedw: IM: Everything's all white.....AHHH! WHY CAN'T I MOVE?!
Arch mage144: *the magical auras that protect the ghoul seem to weaken somewhat*
Arch mage144: *and the first specter dives at Solis, swooping and shrieking*
XStrike8: o.o;; Uh... oh.....
Arch mage144: *luckily for Solis, the creature misses, swooping past and through him without any effect*
XStrike8: >.< Slimy...
Arch mage144: *however, the second specter swoops down towards Squintz...*
Arch mage144: *who feels the same icy chill as he felt earlier, the specter's hand passing through him and causing him to freeze*
Arch mage144: (24 damage.)
Arch mage144: (Squintz is up.)
AdamSquint: >_<
AdamSquint: DAMN IT!
AdamSquint: Feel the wrath of the LIGHT! MISHFAT!
AdamSquint: *forms his trademark sword of light, which I will not describe here, casting it at the ghoul Solis did stuff to before*
AdamSquint: IM: Perhaps...this'll work...perhaps...
Arch mage144: *the ghoul, blasted by the massive energy from the holy spell, is reduced to a pile of purified ashes*
AdamSquint: eVe
Arch mage144: (Ouchu.)
Arch mage144: (Solis.)
XStrike8: GO AWAY, GHOSTIES!!! eVe
XStrike8: I call upon the fury of the storm... leap down and smite my enemies!!! GRA!!!
Arch mage144: (Specter A or B? Not that there's a difference, neither has been attacked.)
Arch mage144: *unfortunately, the electrical burst is merely shrugged off by the specter, who seems to totally ignore it, cackling with glee and swooping at Solis*
XStrike8: WHAT? O.O
AdamSquint: ...IM: DAMMIT!
Arch mage144: *luckily, Solis dodges the attack, ducking just in time*
dragonclawsedw: ^-.-^ .... IM: Hope everyone else is okay...
XStrike8: (Brb.)
Arch mage144: *he is, however, not so lucky as the second specter swoops in and tears through him with an icy hand...*
Arch mage144: (25 damage)
AdamSquint: O_o
AdamSquint: eVe
AdamSquint: IM: dammit...must protect...
AdamSquint: IM: Must save...
AdamSquint: *charges at a ghoul(you pick) and stabs with Wraithslayer* eVe
Arch mage144: *the blade tears through the normally incorporeal creature, ripping through the very essence of its being and tearing shreds of its cloak and flesh apart (17 damage)*
AdamSquint: eVe
Arch mage144: (To specter A. Solis is up.)
XStrike8 has left the room.
XStrike8 has entered the room.
XStrike8: Stupid Ghosties... you wanna play, huh? e.e
Arch mage144: *the specters cackle evilly*
XStrike8: I'lll show you.... -.-
XStrike8: Father of magic, grant me power... Magician... -.-
XStrike8: *lets the power flow into him*
Arch mage144: (+4 to all spellcasting for 5 rounds.)
Arch mage144: *meanwhile, the first specter swipes his hand as Squintz, who shrugs off the blow...*
AdamSquint: eVe
dragonclawsedw: *meanwhile still lies on the floor*
Arch mage144: *and Solis, luckily, dodges as well*
XStrike8: *puts his hands in front of him, starting to channel his new power*
XStrike8: -.-
Arch mage144: (Squintz.)
AdamSquint: eVe
AdamSquint: *leaps into the air, ending with a slash to the previously wounded specter*
Arch mage144: *the slash rends the creature in two pieces, causing it to squeal as its body is ripped asunder by the mighty blow (27 damage)*
AdamSquint: GRAAHH!
AdamSquint: eVe
XStrike8 has left the room.
Arch mage144: (Solis.)
AdamSquint: (GAH!)
dragonclawsedw: (XD)
XStrike8 has entered the room.
XStrike8: LETS SEE YOU LAUGH THIS OFF!!! GRA!!! eVe *points at the nearest spectre*
Arch mage144: *amazingly, the Specter seems to totally shrug off the Gra spell, and it dashes at Solis*
AdamSquint: O_O
Arch mage144: *the cold hand tears through Solis's body, causing him to shake and chill*
Arch mage144: (Solis takes 18, he's down to 1 HP.)
Arch mage144: (Squintz.)
AdamSquint: O_O
AdamSquint: *realizes his allies are in bad shape*
AdamSquint: *leaps over to Solis, trying to heal him with magic*
XStrike8: >.O AAAH... *huff puff*
Arch mage144: *Solis feels the opposite of the chilling death--healing warmth spreads throughout his body, rejuvenating him (+17 HP, he's up to 18)*
Arch mage144: (Squintz)
Arch mage144: (Er, excuse me. Solis)
XStrike8: >.O This isn't going very well.....
AdamSquint: nope...
AdamSquint: >_<
XStrike8: I need a new card... o.o
XStrike8: *grabs a different card out of his deck*
XStrike8: This one should work... I think.... -.-
XStrike8: Queen of magic, be my shield... my strength in times of need... EMPRESS!! *again, self-cast*
pdRydia: Griao...
Arch mage144: *Solis feels the protective arms of the Empress wrap around him, guarding him from harm*
Arch mage144: *and, thankfully, they do, as the specter comes in for another blow*
Arch mage144: (Squintz)
AdamSquint: *leaps over to Aya's side to heal her back up*
Arch mage144: *Aya feels a healing warmth spread throughout her body, and she regains consciousness...but she can't move any of her limbs*
Arch mage144: (17 HP regained)
AdamSquint: IM: This is going bad...VERY bad...
AdamSquint: >_<
Arch mage144: (Solis)
dragonclawsedw: ...-.- .. e_e *groan*
XStrike8: Let's try this one more time... GRA!!! o.o
dragonclawsedw: ...O_O AHH! I CAN'T MOVE!
AdamSquint: O_O
AdamSquint: Don't worry, I'll protect you....
AdamSquint: <_< Damn beast...
Arch mage144: *the lightning blast erupts from Solis' fingertips, striking the wraith with great force and causing its form to break up violently as the electrical surges tear through its figure*
Arch mage144: *static and electricity discharge wildly through the air (34 damage)*
AdamSquint: o_o
Arch mage144: *badly weakened and seeking self preservation, the wraith flees for its...life*
Arch mage144: (The party gains 400 XP. That was pretty hard.)
AdamSquint: (w00t! Levelup!)
dragonclawsedw: (Only cuz the dice hated us XP)
AdamSquint: *sighs, relieved*
XStrike8: (The dice wanted us DEAD.)
Arch mage144: (Aya can't move, btw.)
dragonclawsedw: ....o___O.....
dragonclawsedw: ....I can't move! O___O
AdamSquint: *places Wraithslayer back in its sheath*
AdamSquint: o_O
XStrike8: -.-
AdamSquint: oh no...
XStrike8: *sinks slowly to the floor*
Arch mage144: *Squintz comes to a miraculous revelation after fighting with the blade and realizes its true potential, just for the record*
XStrike8: Don't... *huff* mind... *puff* me... -.-
dragonclawsedw: Solis???
XStrike8: Fighting is tiring.
XStrike8: And Ghosties are Mean. *sage nod*
dragonclawsedw: *struggles to get up, goes nowhere*
AdamSquint: ...
dragonclawsedw: *cusses angrily in ryuuzoku*
AdamSquint: this is bad...
XStrike8: Worse than the ghosties? o.o
AdamSquint: we're wounded...o_o...drained...and Her Highness can't move...
XStrike8: *pets Azul... or at least tries to*
dragonclawsedw: Alusa t'mazoku.....
XStrike8: T: Sorry, Azul... I'm just... so tired now... -.-;;;
Arch mage144: *the sounds of whispering echo in the tunnels*
AdamSquint: ...
pdRydia: Griao...
AdamSquint: *tries to think of a way to restore Aya*
pdRydia: *nuzzles Solis worriedly*
pdRydia: >>
dragonclawsedw: .....O_O
dragonclawsedw: *ears twich*
dragonclawsedw: ...oh shit...
XStrike8: Wh... what was that? o.o *still laying on the ground for the momentm trying to catch his breath*
AdamSquint: I'm sure it is nothing....*is unconvincing*
Arch mage144: *whispers echo again*
AdamSquint: ...or not...
AdamSquint: o_o
XStrike8: Nothing sure is LOUD, Mister. o.o
Arch mage144: *Solis looks over towards the corner and spots a pile of crates, boxes, and books, and spots something he hadn't noticed before*
dragonclawsedw: No I heard that o_____o
XStrike8: o.o *looks at the books... upside down and stuff* Ooh.
AdamSquint: o.o
Arch mage144: *lying propped up against the boxes is a lens-like piece of glass about 12 inches in diameter*
XStrike8: *slowly gets to his feet*
XStrike8: o.o
XStrike8: *runs over to it*
dragonclawsedw: Kulsa....kulsa kulsa.....
XStrike8: *taps on it lightly* Somebody dropped their glasses. o.o
AdamSquint: what are you saying...
XStrike8: Some BIG glasses, too. o.o
AdamSquint: What? *looks over to the glass*
Arch mage144: *as Solis touches the lens, he can feel a bit of power feedback tingle in his finger*
AdamSquint: ....what IS that thing?
XStrike8: AAH!!! O.O
XStrike8: *pulls his hand quickly away*
dragonclawsedw: *lies there* IM: Damn this floor hurts...
dragonclawsedw: Hey didn't we buy some like potion or something for this earlier?
XStrike8: *looks at his hand* o.o
dragonclawsedw: Y'know at that place with the gnome.. *trying to remember*
Arch mage144: (Yes, actually. Squintz is carrying a potion that cures paralysis.)
XStrike8: o.o *touches the lens again*
AdamSquint: *remembers the potion*
AdamSquint: Your highness...
dragonclawsedw: Yeah?
AdamSquint: I hope you don't mind...but I have a potion that might help..
AdamSquint: um...I'll open your mouth for you...^//^
dragonclawsedw: >.> So we DID get something..uh..
pdRydia: Meep!
AdamSquint: *leans over, and opens Aya's mouth, pouring that potion they got in*
Arch mage144: *Aya feels her muscles relax and unclench*
dragonclawsedw: ...O_o; Um...I can open my mouth fine? See I'm talking...uh, it's just the rest of me that can't move...why are you blu-- *gargle*
AdamSquint: ...it it better?
dragonclawsedw: >.o Yeah... *sigh of relief*
Arch mage144: *the lens sparkles in the dim light*
Arch mage144: *next to it, by the way, are a number of books, but you guys checked those out last time*
dragonclawsedw: ....shiney. *zips over to the lense*
Arch mage144: *and there is an unopened crate*
XStrike8: Funny glasses. o.o
Arch mage144: *Aya picks up the lens and examines it closely, and notices that it is no ordinary glass lens*
AdamSquint: ...
XStrike8: o.o
Arch mage144: *it seems that faint swirls of black and purple move beneath the surface of the glass*
AdamSquint: *walks out to the crate, and out of curiosity, opens it*
dragonclawsedw: ...pretty.... *scans it astrally*
XStrike8: Oooh.
XStrike8: Whatcha lookin at Mister Squintz? o.o
Arch mage144: *the crate is full of mostly old, motheaten (or perhaps something worse) books, but Squintz spots a small talisman*
AdamSquint: hmm...
Arch mage144: *of which is shaped vaguely like a heart*
AdamSquint: *picks up the talisman* This...
Arch mage144: *Aya notes that the glass has a strong shadow aura*
AdamSquint: *looks at it astrally*
AdamSquint: Hmm..
Arch mage144: *the talisman, on the other hand, has a faint life aura surrounding it, making it an unsual find in a necromancer's den*
AdamSquint: ...this is odd..
AdamSquint: This feels like life..
AdamSquint: o_o?
dragonclawsedw: ...icky shadow...
XStrike8: ooh.
XStrike8: They're BOTH so pretty. ^_^
XStrike8: And Shiney. ^_^
AdamSquint: yeah...o.o
dragonclawsedw: Shadow magic isn't my style...too much like mazoku magic...
dragonclawsedw: ...wonder what this thing does though....
XStrike8: Oooh. Shadow Magic?
AdamSquint: As it is not mine either...
XStrike8: Damian likes Shadow magic. o.o
dragonclawsedw: Yes he does..
XStrike8: But I wasn't ever good at it... v.v
dragonclawsedw: Wonder what this thing does... *holds it up above her*
Arch mage144: *the lens shimmers*
Arch mage144: *it seems to reflect light...but also...*
Arch mage144: *it seems to bend the mana stream flowing through it into strange colors*
dragonclawsedw: O.o ...... o.O ........
AdamSquint: what is it?
AdamSquint: o.o
XStrike8: Can I see your pendant-thingy, Mister Squints?
dragonclawsedw: Hmm....stand back for a second Solis...
XStrike8: *Squintz
AdamSquint: sure...
AdamSquint: *hands the talisman to Solis*
XStrike8: o.o Okay.
dragonclawsedw: *holds the lens out in front of her with one hand*
XStrike8: *takes the talisman and stands back*
Arch mage144: *the talisman makes Solis feel...safe*
XStrike8: *absentmindedly puts the talisman on* -.-
dragonclawsedw: *casts a fireball at it with the other*
Arch mage144: (Fireball fireball?)
XStrike8: Miss Aya? o.o
XStrike8: Shouldn't you put that... further away from you?
Arch mage144: *the fireball strikes the lens and goes through it, becoming twice as large, twice as hot, and, for all the astrally inclined, twice as powerful*
Arch mage144: *however, Aya feels a sudden, sharp feedback...*
dragonclawsedw: O_< ..... YOW!
XStrike8: O.O
XStrike8: WOOOOOW!!!
Arch mage144: *shadow energy flushes through her being, causing her to faint*
AdamSquint: O_O
Arch mage144: (Aya takes 20 damage.)
dragonclawsedw: >.< ... @_@ *thud*
AdamSquint: Ahhh!
AdamSquint: *hurries to heal her*
XStrike8: AAAH... O.O;;;
Arch mage144: *Aya is revived, warmth canceling out the shadow energies (and restoring her to 10 HP)
AdamSquint: o_o
dragonclawsedw: O_O .....
AdamSquint: you okay?
dragonclawsedw: ...*stares at the thing*
dragonclawsedw: .....;_; No faaair...
dragonclawsedw: Crappy shadow energy...
AdamSquint: ...
AdamSquint: what happened?
dragonclawsedw: This thingy amplified my spell apparently...using some sort of Shadow magic enchantment that backlashed on me..
AdamSquint: ah...
dragonclawsedw: *sets the lense down, steps FAR away from it, and casts dragon recovery on herself*
XStrike8: Ooh...
dragonclawsedw: *growl* I wanna break that thing now..
Arch mage144: *Aya feels the familiar warmth of her own healing spread throughout her body, restoring her energies and patching up a few wounds (26 HP, she's at 36)*
XStrike8: Aww... ;_;
dragonclawsedw: Stupid piece of crap...
AdamSquint: don't do that...
AdamSquint: it might be useful someday..
dragonclawsedw: Not to me it won't e_e
AdamSquint: My father always said, 'everything has a use.'
AdamSquint: I'm sure this has one too.
dragonclawsedw: Well I'M not carrying it.. *looks annoyed*
AdamSquint: ...
XStrike8: Yeah. Big Brother was always talking about "using your surroundings".... or something like that.... I think. 9.9;;;
XStrike8: *pets Azul* T: Don't worry... we'll be out of this scary place soon...
XStrike8: IM: I hope... >.> <.<;;;
pdRydia: -.-
pdRydia: Meep. *nuzzle* >>
dragonclawsedw: Hmph.
XStrike8: I can hold it... if you want me to.
Arch mage144: *meanwhile, in case you missed it, Solis feels...safe*
dragonclawsedw: Go ahead, I don't think you should try using it though.. e.e
XStrike8: (Thanks for reminding me, Brian.)
XStrike8: ...
XStrike8: *blinks* Maybe mister Squintz should hold it....
dragonclawsedw: Whatever... *waves her hand* -V-;;
XStrike8: ... I like this heart-thingy. ^_^
XStrike8: It... feels nice.
AdamSquint: ...uh, okay...
AdamSquint: well, that's good. ^_^
AdamSquint: *picks up the lens*
pdRydia: o.o griao...
dragonclawsedw: IM; I get the short end of the loot stick, great...
Arch mage144: *the ghostly whispering resumes*
AdamSquint: this place creeps me out...
AdamSquint: I think we should get on the move.
dragonclawsedw: .....*groan*
dragonclawsedw: More stuff coming to kill us...fantastic...
AdamSquint: ...
XStrike8: I don't wanna fight no more today.. ;_;
Arch mage144: *the group has a strange feeling of dread wash over them...like proceeding ahead without resting is suicide*
Arch mage144: *conveniently, Squintz spots a light ahead, and senses no danger or undead astrally*
dragonclawsedw: .....>.>;; I ain't going nowhere.
AdamSquint: ...there's a light ahead...
XStrike8: ... maybe we should rest or somethin? o.o
AdamSquint: yeah...
dragonclawsedw: If we don't rest we'll all be dead...
AdamSquint: hm...
dragonclawsedw: (Stop that rhyming now I mean it! "Anybody want a peanut?")
XStrike8: I don't think I'd like Dead.... ;_;
XStrike8: (Someone's watching PPG.)
Arch mage144: *the light flickers invitingly*
KnightsofSquare: (Eh? No, that's the Princess Bride)
dragonclawsedw: *moves towards the light!*
AdamSquint: *goes into the light*
Arch mage144: *as the group moves towards the light...*
XStrike8: *follows timidly*
pdRydia: (color)
dragonclawsedw: (AHH! NAKIBE!)
Arch mage144: *they find that the gloomy aura of the gave gives way to a well lit, grassy meadow, complete with flowers*
Arch mage144: *a stream runs past, fed by a lake a few hundred feet away*
AdamSquint: ...
dragonclawsedw: ...didn't we come from this place? *looks confused*
AdamSquint: ...this...is unexpected...
XStrike8: Woooooooww.... O.O
AdamSquint: ..hm...
Arch mage144: *a bird chirps...*
dragonclawsedw: ...no really, we were just out here...before we went in right?
Arch mage144: *and suddenly, the sound of an explosion, a thundering crash, and a zapping noise fill the air*
XStrike8: ... ehehe.... it's sooo pretty... EEEEK!!!! O.O
dragonclawsedw: ...YAAHHH! O_O
AdamSquint: O_O
Arch mage144: *the bird screeches and is silent*
dragonclawsedw: .....>.> We're lost aren't we.
AdamSquint: I hope not...
XStrike8: This isn't fun at allll ;_;
AdamSquint: I agree...o.o
AdamSquint: *looks around worriedly*
dragonclawsedw: >.>;; Isn't there a good place to rest? I don't think this place is it...
XStrike8: Can't we just get some rest or something before some creepy thing comes out the walls?!?
Arch mage144: *there are no walls*
Arch mage144: *and if there are, Solis can't see them, because he's in the middle of a green meadow*
dragonclawsedw: *walks over to the lake*
XStrike8: W... Wait, miss Aya!!!
Arch mage144: *Aya sees her reflection in the lake*
XStrike8: *waddles after her* O.O
AdamSquint: *is suspicious of the whole deal*
AdamSquint: >_>
Arch mage144: *bluntly put, she looks like shit--her hair is mussed, she has burns all over her body, and she's slightly pale*
AdamSquint: <_<
dragonclawsedw: .....I look like crap! Squintz why didn't you say something?!
AdamSquint: er..
dragonclawsedw has left the room.
AdamSquint: I didn't think it was that important when we were being attacked by undead.
AdamSquint: (...)
XStrike8: (... indeed.)
pdRydia: (dot dot dot)
dragonclawsedw has entered the room.
XStrike8: (WB)
dragonclawsedw: (Thanks)
dragonclawsedw: I know but you coulda mentioned something after the battle was over....
AdamSquint: ...
dragonclawsedw: *dips her hands in the water of the lake*
AdamSquint: Okay, I'll keep that in mind.
XStrike8: Umm... Miss Aya? o.o
XStrike8: What about that sound we heard? o.o
Arch mage144: *the lake is filled with cool, fresh water*
AdamSquint: *decides its safe, and drinks some of the lake water*
dragonclawsedw: *busily splashing the water on her face* I don't hear anything here, it was probably just down that corridor...
XStrike8: Oh. o.o
Arch mage144: *the water tastes...SO FRESH AND SO CLEAN!*
Arch mage144: *erm, anyway*
XStrike8: *looks cautiously around the clearing*
dragonclawsedw: (XD)
Arch mage144: *the clearing is large and like any other grassy meadow, including a small orchard*
Arch mage144: *flowers are everywhere*
dragonclawsedw: ...I should take a bath...
Arch mage144: *Solis spots what looks like a stone dais*
XStrike8: o.o
AdamSquint: hmm...
XStrike8: *walks over to the stone*
XStrike8: o.o
dragonclawsedw: *dunks her head in the water*
XStrike8: *cocks his head and looks at it on the astral*
AdamSquint: IM: she's taking a bath, hide somewhere and spy on her... NO! Yes! NO!
XStrike8: T: This sure is a weeird rock, Azul.
pdRydia: o.o
pdRydia: Meep?
pdRydia: >>
dragonclawsedw: *pulls her head out* -.-
pdRydia: T: Is it safe?
pdRydia: *still hiding in Solis's clothes*
XStrike8: T: I don't know. o.o
dragonclawsedw: *almost looks like a totally different person with her hair "down"*
pdRydia: *peeps his head out of a sleeve* o.o
XStrike8: Miss Aya!!!
Arch mage144: *the stone is magical, and that's all Solis can see*
AdamSquint: *yawns tiredly*
XStrike8: MISTER SQUINTZ!!!
AdamSquint: Yes? o.o?
dragonclawsedw: *takes off her boots and socks*
AdamSquint: *hurries over to Solis*
XStrike8: There's somethin over here!!!
AdamSquint: ...what is it?
Arch mage144: *Squintz is staring at a big stone dais*
AdamSquint: hmm...
XStrike8: I... I dunno. o.o
Arch mage144: *runes, which he does not recognize, are carved into it*
AdamSquint: ...well, this is odd.
AdamSquint: *tries to scan it astrally*
dragonclawsedw: *wriggles her toes and sticks them in the water*
pdRydia: o.o
dragonclawsedw: ^_^ Ah...
pdRydia: *idly wonders if the stone is good to eat*
XStrike8: It's Weeeird.... o.o
Arch mage144: *the stone is very...poweful, and that's all Squintz can tell*
AdamSquint: ...
AdamSquint: well, this is obviously not your run of the mill stone...
dragonclawsedw: *lies down on her back with her feet in the water*
AdamSquint: *walks up and touches it*
dragonclawsedw: ("Would you like to save your game?" Yes< No< )
Arch mage144: *the stone feels slightly warm to the touch*
Arch mage144: *Squintz feels a certain sense of impending doom*
AdamSquint: o_O
AdamSquint: um...Solis...
AdamSquint: get away. FAR away.
AdamSquint: NOW.
XStrike8: O.O
pdRydia: o.o
pdRydia: o__o
XStrike8: *RUNS LIKE HECK*
Arch mage144: *Solis runs like heck*
AdamSquint: *backs away from the stone*
XStrike8: MISS AYA MISS AYA!!
Arch mage144: *the stone glows*
AdamSquint: *backs up MORE*
dragonclawsedw: Hmmm? ^_^
XStrike8: THERE'S SOMETHING HAPPENING!!!!
AdamSquint: *hell, he's running now*
XStrike8: SOMETHING BIG IS COMING!!!! O.O;;;;;
dragonclawsedw: Eh? *sits uP* WHAT?!
dragonclawsedw: What the hell did you people DO?!
Arch mage144: *the stone stops glowing*
AdamSquint: Accident!
AdamSquint: ....
XStrike8: *tuggs at Aya, trying to get her to LEAVE*
Arch mage144: *and a slight crackling sound is heard*
dragonclawsedw: ....I don't like the sound of that.
AdamSquint: IM: Woo! Excellent job! Shut UP! It was a mistake!
XStrike8: SCARY ACCIDENT... ;_;
dragonclawsedw: *gets up onto her feet*
Arch mage144: Excuse me.
dragonclawsedw: *picks up her boots* O_o;
dragonclawsedw: ...uh...
dragonclawsedw: <.< ... Squintz did you say something?
AdamSquint: it was an accident, I swear! ^^;;;;;
AdamSquint: ..huh?
AdamSquint: ...wait...I didn't say anything..
AdamSquint: *looks around*
dragonclawsedw: .....Solis please say you said something...
XStrike8: S...s.... Sorry, Miss Aya.... O.O;;;
Arch mage144: *Squintz sees a man behind him, wearing a grey cloak and robes with a hood, tied at the waist with a golden sash*
AdamSquint: o.O
AdamSquint: ...um...guys...
Arch mage144: *the hood covers his face, and only a few strands of long, white hair can be seen poking out*
dragonclawsedw: <.< GAH!
AdamSquint: ...there's someone here...
XStrike8: W... Who are you, Mister? O.O;;;;
dragonclawsedw: Alusa! O_o;;;
XStrike8: Are you friendly? Please tell me you're friendly. >.<;;;
Arch mage144: Who am I...?
Arch mage144: I have a better question.
Arch mage144: Who are you?
dragonclawsedw: IM: This better not be the necromancer...
AdamSquint: I am known as Squintz Altec, Holy knight.
XStrike8: Uhh... S... s... Solis Darylshield, Sir...
dragonclawsedw: >.>;;
dragonclawsedw: Aya Mythril-Domanda...
Arch mage144: And why are you here?
AdamSquint: umm...
dragonclawsedw: We were about to rest....
dragonclawsedw: And I was going to take a bath myself...
Arch mage144: *silent*
dragonclawsedw: .......
XStrike8: o.o;;;
Arch mage144: ...you wish to bathe in those rejuvenating waters?
dragonclawsedw: ...Well, if you don't mind....^^;;;
XStrike8: Re.... Re Juu... >.o o.<
Arch mage144: Go ahead...
pdRydia: O_O
AdamSquint: ...
pdRydia: m...meep...
XStrike8: o.o
dragonclawsedw: ^_^ Thank you.
Arch mage144: ...but you will bathe in them forever.
pdRydia: *takes refuge in Solis's shirt*
XStrike8: T: Shh....
dragonclawsedw: .........
dragonclawsedw: UM.
pdRydia: (XD)
AdamSquint: ...Um...what did you say?
XStrike8: Why? o.o
AdamSquint: ...
Arch mage144: There is no leaving my sanctum.
AdamSquint: IM: Aw, hell.
Arch mage144: You may stay as long as you wish...
Arch mage144: ...but I like my privacy.
AdamSquint: IM: hell? You're beyond that...
dragonclawsedw: ....uh....
XStrike8: B... But... Mister...
Arch mage144: Therefore...you may not leave to tell anyone of this magical spring and its properties.
AdamSquint: IM: I doomed us all...
Arch mage144: You should have known better than to come here.
XStrike8: I... I need to see my Big Brother... he... he worries about me, and whatnot... O.O;;;
AdamSquint: IM: Well, great job, oh Holy one!
dragonclawsedw: Well actually..
XStrike8: PLEASE, can we leave, mister creepy man? Please? *The Eyes... the Evil.. err, Puppy Dog Eyes!!!*
Arch mage144: No.
XStrike8: O.O
dragonclawsedw: We DIDN'T know better to come here since this place was supposedly a secret.
XStrike8: *pouts* That's not fair. -V-
AdamSquint: how about you let them go...
AdamSquint: but I'll stay..
Arch mage144: No.
dragonclawsedw: So it's not really our faults, it's an accident... >.>;;
AdamSquint: ...
dragonclawsedw: IM: ...This guy negotiates like a 2 year old.
Arch mage144: I am much older than 2.
dragonclawsedw: HEY!
dragonclawsedw: eVe ...stay OUT of my head.
AdamSquint: ...
XStrike8: T: This mean man doesn't like us much, Azul. ;_;
Arch mage144: You should have stayed out of my sanctum.
AdamSquint: IM: woo! mind reader! Hey, if you're listening, Squintz here likes to sleep with his sword!
dragonclawsedw: You don't want us invading your space? FINE, then don't invade mine. Got it?!
AdamSquint: IM: SHUT UP!
XStrike8: B... but we didn't know it was yours... ;_;
Arch mage144: I know you are here for something other than this spring.
Arch mage144: Why are you here?
AdamSquint: Well..
dragonclawsedw: -V-;; We're here to kill a lich.
dragonclawsedw: *folds her arms over her chest*
AdamSquint: we heard about a necromancer...a lich...and yes, we have quested here to slay him.
Arch mage144: Are you?
dragonclawsedw: IM: I bet this guy IS the lich, with my luck.
XStrike8: IM: I... I just wanna go hoooome...
Arch mage144: *extends his hand outwards, the robes slipping off his withered, decaying limb*
XStrike8: O.O;;;
dragonclawsedw: .............IM: I so saw that coming.
AdamSquint: ...
AdamSquint: Aw, shit....
Arch mage144: Luckily, I believe in honor.
AdamSquint: ...huh?
XStrike8: S... Sir? o.o
Arch mage144: *twitches a finger and all three of party members go flying backwards into the spring*
dragonclawsedw: You're the lich I knew i-- *splash*
XStrike8: AAHH!!! O.O;;;
XStrike8: *Sploosh*
XStrike8: *comes up gurgling and spluttering... and wet*
AdamSquint: *splash and stuff*
Arch mage144: *everyone feels remarkably better than they did before (we're talking full recovery)*
dragonclawsedw: *swims up* >.o
Arch mage144: *though you're all wet*
XStrike8: *paddles to the shore*
XStrike8: W... what was... Oh. o.o
dragonclawsedw: .....>.>;; *folds her arms over her chest*
XStrike8: T: Azul, are you Okay in there? o.o
AdamSquint: *swims over and gets out* e_e
dragonclawsedw: IM: Is this a lich or a lech?
Arch mage144: At your full strength?
Arch mage144: *lowers his hand*
AdamSquint: ....I suppose..
dragonclawsedw: ...yeah...
Arch mage144: Good.
Arch mage144: *the space between the lich and the party flickers momentarily, a sudden flash of light illuminating the area*
AdamSquint: O_o
Arch mage144: *the light brightens...and...*
Arch mage144: *a ghostly figure shimmers into view...<c>*
Choark has entered the room.
Arch mage144: *the figure is a creature, roughly spherical in shape, with a singular, LARGE eye in the center of the front of its face, a large, toothy maw, and several waving stalks on top of its head*
dragonclawsedw: O_O NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
AdamSquint: O_O
pdRydia: T meeeeep... ._.

dragonclawsedw: ;_; IM: I'm dead..
pdRydia: *shiver* ><
dragonclawsedw: IM: Or I'm gonna be a statue again...
Arch mage144: *the lich fades away, disappearing from the area*
AdamSquint: >_<
Arch mage144: *a voice echoes* I like to entertain my guests...or derive entertainment FROM them...
dragonclawsedw: IM: Bastard...
AdamSquint: IM: >____________<
dragonclawsedw: ;_; Not another one....
AdamSquint: *draws Redemption*
Arch mage144: (Roll your init and pray, people. XD)
*OnlineHost*: AdamSquint rolled 2 6-sided dice: 1 5
dragonclawsedw: ...o__o But this one has a big ol' eye...
XStrike8: I don't like to be entertainment...
*OnlineHost*: dragonclawsedw rolled 2 6-sided dice: 3 1
Arch mage144: (o.o Redemption?)
*OnlineHost*: XStrike8 rolled 1 6-sided die: 2
AdamSquint: (9.)

XStrike8: (Whoops. Lemme reroll)
*OnlineHost*: XStrike8 rolled 2 6-sided dice: 3 4
Arch mage144: (Yes...)
dragonclawsedw: (8 ;_; )
Arch mage144: (9, 8, and...8?)
XStrike8: ( 8 )
AdamSquint: IM: I trust this blade...
AdamSquint: IM: You have saved me before, save me again...
Arch mage144: (Ooookay, the beholder is going first.)
dragonclawsedw: IM: Cephied help me....
Arch mage144: *the beholder, eye wide, grins toothily at the party*
AdamSquint: ...o_o;;;;;
dragonclawsedw: ;_; Go awaaaaaay...
pdRydia: >.<;;; GRIAO!
XStrike8: BAD thing.. BAAAD!!!
Arch mage144: *the creature turns an eyestalk at Solis, and a reddish ray erupts from the end of the eye*
AdamSquint: O_O
AdamSquint: SOLIS!
dragonclawsedw: NO! O.O
XStrike8: AAAHHH!!!!
Arch mage144: *the blast catches him in the chest, and suddenly, he feels an extreme compulsion to obey every command of the creature*
Arch mage144: Stand aside.
pdRydia: T: Solis!
XStrike8: o.o -.- o.o
dragonclawsedw: O_O It's...just like last time...
pdRydia: Griao!
XStrike8: *walks out of the way of the thing*
pdRydia: o.O
AdamSquint: ...last time?
AdamSquint: You fought this before? O_O
pdRydia: T: Solis Solis? O.o??
XStrike8: IM: The Number you are trying to reach is unavailable at this time.
dragonclawsedw: Not THIS one...another one but....it didn't have that big eye...
AdamSquint: ....great...
Arch mage144: (Squintz.)
AdamSquint: This is going to be hell.
dragonclawsedw: *Shivers* And...it turned me into stone... >.< *shiver*
AdamSquint: But I won't go down without a fight!
dragonclawsedw: IM: My magic didn't even scratch it last time too ;_;
pdRydia: ._. Meep! Meep meep griao! ><
AdamSquint: The light of Justice is greater than that of evil! Feel my wrath! *summons up his sword and throws it at the beholder*
AdamSquint: eVe
dragonclawsedw: Stab it or something! ....no >.<
AdamSquint: No?
AdamSquint: o.o?
dragonclawsedw: Magic hardly hurts it! >.<
AdamSquint: ...it does?
AdamSquint: SHIT!
Arch mage144: *unluckily, the blast of holy energy seems not to affect the ghost beholder...*
Arch mage144: (Aya's turn)
dragonclawsedw: >.< *takes out her dagger and holds it up in the air* ASTRAL VINE!!
dragonclawsedw: *a cord of astral energy snakes down and strikes the dagger, making the blade glow red*
Arch mage144: (...I'm going to make a gentle, prompting suggestion...)
Arch mage144: (Aya's weapon magically functions by draining the life out of things.)
AdamSquint: (AdamSquint: Oh, and does it take a turn to change weapons?)
dragonclawsedw: (Bend over, put your heads between your legs, and kiss your asses goodbye?)
Arch mage144: (Yes.)
Arch mage144: (No, I'm suggesting you change your mind, unless you want to heal that thing when you hit it, because it's better at sucking life out of things than your dagger is.)
dragonclawsedw: (Damnit! >.>;; )
dragonclawsedw: *rewinds a second*
Arch mage144: (And Aya knew that. You, unfortunately, didn't. So I'm giving you a chance.)
dragonclawsedw: ASTRAL IMBUE!
Arch mage144: (Target?)
dragonclawsedw: (Self)
AdamSquint: IM: What should I do? Use the sword! I AM using a sword! No, the OTHER sword. Ah, YES! ^___^ GREAT IDEA!
Arch mage144: *Aya feels a surge of astral energy pumping through her veings, postively improving her spellcasting abilities*
Arch mage144: (Solis is unable to act this round...so...)
Arch mage144: *the beholder flies around, behind the party...*
Arch mage144: *and aims an eye ray at Aya and Squintz*
AdamSquint: O_O
dragonclawsedw: O.O SHIT! Look out!
Arch mage144: *a pale grey beam lances towards Squintz, who, when struck, feels sharp, immense pain ripple through his body (38 damage)*
AdamSquint: >___< GRAAHH!
Arch mage144: *and Aya's flesh begins to literally MELT off her arms as a pale green blast strikes her, a burning sensation causing her to wince in pain (17 damage)*
dragonclawsedw: O.O AHHHHHH!!!!!
AdamSquint: O_O
dragonclawsedw: AAAAHHH! I'M MELTING!!
AdamSquint: UNHOLY SHIT!
Arch mage144: (Go Squintz!)
AdamSquint: *sticks his sword back in its sheath, and redraws Wraithslayer*
AdamSquint: eVe
dragonclawsedw: >.<;;; I'm gonna be SOUP!
AdamSquint: We SHALL NOT LOSE!
dragonclawsedw: *growls and tries to ignore that the fact her arms are dribbling*
dragonclawsedw: IM: ...EW.
Arch mage144: (You can act this turn, Squintz is capable of that.)
AdamSquint: GARRR!
AdamSquint: *leaps at the Beholder, chopping with his sword* DIE...AGAIN!
dragonclawsedw: IM: Why the hell did I have to buy that stupid dagger?! Now I HAVE to use magic! >.<###
Arch mage144: *the sword cleaves through the beholder, slicing its form with immense precision and causing it to shimmer and break apart*
Arch mage144: *an unholy moan echoes through the room*
Arch mage144: (35 damage.)
dragonclawsedw: IM: Might as well go all out...
dragonclawsedw: *starts chanting*
XStrike8: *stares vacuously into space*
Arch mage144: (Solis is released from the spell and may act.)
Arch mage144: (But it's Aya's turn.)
dragonclawsedw: Earth dragon lord...*etc etc, scribes a six pointed star in the air in front of her with her finger*
XStrike8: o.o -.- o.o Wha... what happened?
AdamSquint: eVe
dragonclawsedw: DRAGON SOUL BEAM!
AdamSquint: I will NOT leave my child a bastard. I WILL NOT, YOU HEAR ME?
Arch mage144: *the blast erupts from Aya's hands, tearing across the landscape...and it pierces directly through the beholder ghost, causing it to wail*
Arch mage144: (65 damage.)
AdamSquint: (Can Squintz rage and attack same turn?)
Arch mage144: (Yeah, cause I like rage techs.)
Arch mage144: (Solis is up)
AdamSquint: (woo!)
XStrike8: O.O;;;;
XStrike8: IM: WhatcanIdowhatcanIdo?!?
XStrike8: Umm umm....
XStrike8: REVERSE PRIESTESS!!!
dragonclawsedw: eVe Alusat! *makes obscene gestures at the beholder*
AdamSquint: <_<
AdamSquint: Umm...miss Aya...is that really necessary?
Arch mage144: *unfortunately for Solis, his tarot card glows...and the beholder seems unaffected*
Arch mage144: *...and it doesn't seem happy(
Arch mage144: *the beholder aims an eye ray at each of the three members*
AdamSquint: O_O
dragonclawsedw: NO! eVe
dragonclawsedw: (*taps four blue mana*)
XStrike8: (Use the floating lands!!!)
AdamSquint: (First in, last out. ^_^)
dragonclawsedw: (Ext Feild)
dragonclawsedw: IM: No friggen magic damper this time either eVe
dragonclawsedw: COUNTERFEILD!
Arch mage144: (Ooooh. o.o)
Arch mage144: (Kate, roll a d100.)
*OnlineHost*: dragonclawsedw rolled 1 100-sided die: 26
dragonclawsedw: (*dies*)
Arch mage144: *all three spells fizzle, shooting sparks and going berserk*
Arch mage144: (Low is GOOD when you're rolling something that has a flat percentage to work with me.)
dragonclawsedw: (O_O *redies from shock*)
Arch mage144: *the beholder's eye widens in surprise*
Arch mage144: (Squintz.)
AdamSquint: O_o
AdamSquint: IM: THANK ISHTAR!
AdamSquint: IM: OR FALDRIS...or WHOEVER!
dragonclawsedw: TAKE THAT! eVe#
AdamSquint: IM: But now it is my time to fight...
AdamSquint: *eyes glow white* Feel my wrath!
AdamSquint: *chops at the beholder*
AdamSquint: (Redemption's Rage...and chop. ^_^)
Arch mage144: *with the power of Redemption's Rage, Squintz slices through the beholder's form, causing it to shimmer and warp dramatically*
AdamSquint: eVe
Arch mage144: (42 damage.)
AdamSquint: (woot!)
Arch mage144: (Solis.)
XStrike8: Umm... umm....
XStrike8: Master of magic, grant me your power, your wisdom MAGICIAN!!!
dragonclawsedw: Solis, do you have a sheild spell? If you do, use it please O___o;;
XStrike8: *uses on himself, of course*
XStrike8: Umm.... o.o;;;
dragonclawsedw: >.>;; Never mind.
XStrike8: Sure... just as... soon as I... find the card...
XStrike8: *starts rummaging through his deck for the card*
Arch mage144: *the Magician's power aids Solis, boosting his magical essences*
Arch mage144: *...and the beholder is pissed*
dragonclawsedw: o______o Eek.
Arch mage144: *the beholder narrows its large eye and glares at Aya*
AdamSquint: >_>
dragonclawsedw: O_O
dragonclawsedw: IM: ....uh, now what happens...
AdamSquint: NO!
AdamSquint: Watch out, your highness!
dragonclawsedw: For what?! O_O The last one I fought didn't have that eye! O___O;;
Arch mage144: *a black beam lances out of one of the eye rays...and strikes Solis, causing immense pain to wrack his body, and he collapses soundlessly*
AdamSquint: Well..this one does..
AdamSquint: O_o
AdamSquint: HOLY SHIT!
Arch mage144: *his body falls to the ground with a THUD*
dragonclawsedw: .....SOLIS!!!!!!
Arch mage144: (72 damage. Solis is at -7.)
AdamSquint: SOLIS!
pdRydia: MEEP!
XStrike8: -.-
*OnlineHost*: AdamSquint rolled 1 6-sided die: 3
pdRydia: *snuggles Solis* Griao! >_<;; Meep!
AdamSquint: (He's in this rage for 3 more turns.)
Arch mage144: *a second beam, of the grey sort, lances out at Squintz...*
pdRydia: T: Solis Solis! ;_; Wake up!
AdamSquint: eVe
dragonclawsedw: SQUINTZ! LOOK OUT!
AdamSquint: eVe
Arch mage144: *...whom of which is immediately turned to stone, a glaring, angry looking statue worthy of a master*
dragonclawsedw: O_O
dragonclawsedw: ....um.....
Arch mage144: *the beholder grins widely at Aya, showing all of its teeth*
dragonclawsedw: ^_^;;; Hi?
Arch mage144: (It's Aya's turn.)
dragonclawsedw: IM: I'm damn glad I have THIS!
dragonclawsedw: *whips out the soft she bought earlier and dashes over to Squintz, quickly applying it to the holy knight* >.>;;
Arch mage144: *uncorking the potion and applying it to Squintz, the holy knight's flesh softens rapidly...*
dragonclawsedw: *starts poking Squintz* Getupgetupgetup!!! O_O;;
AdamSquint: RAAAAAR!
AdamSquint: eVe
dragonclawsedw: *jumps back* You're up good!
AdamSquint: That's it...he's fucking DEAD!
dragonclawsedw: *points* KILL!
Arch mage144: *and the beholder proceeds to blast Squintz with another beam*
dragonclawsedw: O_o;;;
AdamSquint: GRAHH!
AdamSquint: FUCK!
dragonclawsedw: IM: Wow, he cursed o_o
Arch mage144: *the holy knight feels a stabbing pain as a grey beam strikes him in the chest, reducing him to his knees*
Arch mage144: (32 damage. Squintz is at 8 HP, suffering -5/-5.)
AdamSquint: (Should I count that stoned turn as one of the ones for his rage?)
Arch mage144: (Yes.)
AdamSquint: (okay, 2 more, including this.)
AdamSquint: Listen, son of a bitch...
Arch mage144: (Well, it's his turn now...)
Arch mage144: *the beholder glares coldly*
AdamSquint: Not YOU, or ANY goddamned lich will stop me!
AdamSquint: FOR MISHFAT!
AdamSquint: *Chop*
Arch mage144: *and, in a last ditch, desperate, enraged effort, Wraithslayer cleaves directly through the beholder...*
Arch mage144: *and, with a massive flash of light, a lot of unholy, soul rending wailing, and a sudden ripple in the astral, causing everyone nearby to shiver...*
Arch mage144: *...the ghost beholder is put to rest, vanishing from the ethereal and material planes*
AdamSquint: eVe
dragonclawsedw: >.< IM: Yuck...
XStrike8: (Everyone that CAN shiver, that is.)
Arch mage144: (And everyone gains +450 XP, even Solis.)
XStrike8: x.x
dragonclawsedw: .....SOLIS!
Arch mage144: (Whom of which is near death.)
AdamSquint: ...and that was for ME.
dragonclawsedw: *runs over to him* Oh Ceiphied.......
dragonclawsedw: *gathers him into his arms* ....>.>
AdamSquint: *slowly returns to normal, before falling down in pain*
dragonclawsedw: The lake!
AdamSquint: Ugh...
AdamSquint: ...yes..the lake....
dragonclawsedw: *runs over to the lake, dragging/carrying Solis with her*
AdamSquint: *gets up, and helps her with Solis*
Arch mage144: *as Solis is dipped into the lake, he slowly regains consciousness...*
Arch mage144: *and the man from earlier stands over the lake, walking on the water*
Arch mage144: ...so.
XStrike8: AAAAAAAHHH!!! O.O
AdamSquint: *walks into the water*
pdRydia: Meeeeeeeep. ._.
Arch mage144: You are strong of heart and mind...
XStrike8: o.o -.- o.o
dragonclawsedw: eVe *snarl*
Arch mage144: ...you have iron wills.
AdamSquint: eVe
pdRydia: *drenched with Solis*
pdRydia: *clings to Solis's shoulders*
XStrike8: Wha.... what happened? o.o
dragonclawsedw: I also have an iron toed boot, would you like it up your ass?
XStrike8: Why am I all wet again? And why does my Head hurt? >.<
Arch mage144: *lowers his hood, revealing rotting, sunken grey/green flesh, his eye sockets caving in on themselves, and wrinkles puncuating every inch of his skin*
XStrike8: I remember.... o.o;;;
XStrike8: O.O;;;;
dragonclawsedw: .....>.<
AdamSquint: ...disgusting.
dragonclawsedw: ....eeeeew...
dragonclawsedw: Put your hood back on, you look better...
Arch mage144: ......
XStrike8: *gets slowly out from the water*
Arch mage144: You aren't exactly persuading me to treat you nicely.
XStrike8: >.O C... Can we please go home now?
Arch mage144: Now. You say you have come to defeat a lich?
dragonclawsedw: Well sending a beholder at us wasn't that nice either...
AdamSquint: Yes.
Arch mage144: WHY ARE YOU DISTURBING ME!?
AdamSquint: We have.
Arch mage144: I JUST WANT TO BE LEFT ALONE!
AdamSquint: ...o_O;;;
dragonclawsedw: To stop the fighting!
Arch mage144: ...what fighting?
dragonclawsedw: The war!
Arch mage144: ...one moment.
dragonclawsedw: There are two undead armies fighting in Doma and I don't lik--- o_o;;;
Arch mage144: *the lich stops floating on the water and falls in*
AdamSquint: ....
dragonclawsedw: O.o;;;
AdamSquint: what?
AdamSquint: ...*confused, MAJORLY*
XStrike8: O.< What was... that all about?
Arch mage144: *immediately, he pops back out, and his appearance is like that of a kindly old man, complete with a thick, white beard and hair*
XStrike8: ... my head still hurts. >.<
dragonclawsedw: .....uh....
AdamSquint: ...o_O;;;;;;;;
AdamSquint: IM: Wow, that water did wonders... No kidding...
Arch mage144: ...*cracks his knuckles*
Arch mage144: ...I'm stiff again. *wince* I guess immortality isn't quite all you'd believe.
dragonclawsedw: *lifts an eyebrow at him* ......
AdamSquint: ...
AdamSquint: uhhh...*speechless*
dragonclawsedw: You're immortal?
AdamSquint: Liches are immortal...
XStrike8: Immortal? O.O;;;
Arch mage144: Yes.
dragonclawsedw: Oh...now...
Arch mage144: Are you talking about the army I command?
dragonclawsedw: *nods* Yeah, the one full of dead guys...
XStrike8: O.O;;;
Arch mage144: *sighs heavily*
Arch mage144: ...I would have disbanded them, but it was so much trouble...
dragonclawsedw: e_e;;;
AdamSquint: ...trouble?
Arch mage144: You see, I created that army to protect the town from a greater threat.
dragonclawsedw: O.o The other lich?
Arch mage144: ...the lich Xzar'il.
AdamSquint: ...IM: A good lich? What the hell?
XStrike8: Eh? o.o
dragonclawsedw: ...that's such a weird name...
AdamSquint: Xzar'il...
AdamSquint: O_O THAT BASTARD!
AdamSquint: eVe
AdamSquint: *has much, MUCH hatred in his voice*
dragonclawsedw: ....you know him? O.o;
Arch mage144: You know of him?
AdamSquint: ...I fought him...
XStrike8: Is he a bad man, mister? o.o
AdamSquint: ...he was a Mind Flayer..
Arch mage144: And you lived?
dragonclawsedw: Mind Flayer?!
AdamSquint: He ran away.
Arch mage144: He still IS a mind flayer.
AdamSquint: eVe
Arch mage144: An alhoon. An illithilich.
dragonclawsedw: I've heard....wait...*frowns*
XStrike8: ooooh... O.O;;;
Arch mage144: *sighs heavily*
dragonclawsedw: One of my mages was ranting about a mind flayer a while ago..
AdamSquint: ....I promised myself I would not rest until I slay him....
AdamSquint: eVe
Arch mage144: ...well, he was killed...supposedly...
Arch mage144: And, due to his pact with Nikumu, he has risen again.
AdamSquint: ....
dragonclawsedw: ....who's Nikumu?
XStrike8: Niku...mu? o.o
Arch mage144: Nikumu...*hushed tones*
Arch mage144: ...is the god of Hatred.
AdamSquint: ...Makes sense...
dragonclawsedw: o.o Oh, so he's sort of like Shaburanigudo?
AdamSquint: such a vile, hateful beast..
Arch mage144: Shaburanigudo? I cannot say I've heard of him.
dragonclawsedw: You wouldn't, he's from another dimension. *grin* LIke me.
Arch mage144: *nods*
Arch mage144: *as though he's totally unsurprised*
Arch mage144: Your aura is not native to this plane.
AdamSquint: <_<
Arch mage144: Yours...*look at Squintz*
Arch mage144: ...is very powerful, yes untempered.
Arch mage144: I predict great things for you...
dragonclawsedw: No, you guys don't have ryuuzoku here apparently...
AdamSquint: ...you do?
XStrike8: We don't? o.o
XStrike8: oooh.
Arch mage144: And the young man...
dragonclawsedw: Heh! Lucky paladin... *pats him on the back*
Arch mage144: ...*glares hard*
AdamSquint: ..o.o
Arch mage144: ...I predict that he is cursed.
XStrike8: *blinku*
AdamSquint: I'm not a paladin...
XStrike8: o.o
dragonclawsedw: ......>.>;;;;
Arch mage144: But one day...he will overcome it.
AdamSquint: >_>;;
Arch mage144: And when he does...
dragonclawsedw: IM: *gives Solis the "sucks to be you" look*
XStrike8: C... Cursed?!? O.O;;;
dragonclawsedw: (*eats the IM*)
Arch mage144: He shall be the most powerful master of his art in the entire material plane.
AdamSquint: o_O
pdRydia: >.>
Arch mage144: Those who overcome adversity are stronger for it.
Arch mage144: ...and some of us pay a price for our power.
pdRydia: Griao. o.o
pdRydia: T: What's he saying huh?
Arch mage144: Now...
dragonclawsedw: Yeah, I know all about that ... *sighs*
XStrike8: T: He... he says...
Arch mage144: I presume the three of you would like to leave and hunt down the real culprit here?
AdamSquint: Amazing...o_o
XStrike8: T: He says I'm Cursed. ;_;
XStrike8: *looks near to tears*
dragonclawsedw: Yes....
AdamSquint: YES. eVe
dragonclawsedw: ...wait...
XStrike8: I... I guess so...
AdamSquint: That brain sucking bastard will pay...
dragonclawsedw: *falls over beating her head on the ground* ARGH WE GOT THE WRONG LICH! >.<
AdamSquint: >_>;;;;
XStrike8: o.o
pdRydia: T: ... o.o But you're Solis. You can't be cursed. ?_?
Arch mage144: Whenever you wish to leave...please, use that dais. *points to the stone dais*
Arch mage144: But...
XStrike8: T: I... I dunno.... >.<;;;
Arch mage144: ...don't tell anyone about my spring.
XStrike8: But? o.o
AdamSquint: We shall not.
pdRydia: ^_^ *licks Solis happily*
AdamSquint: You have my honor and my word.
Arch mage144: I would prefer to avoid tourists.
dragonclawsedw: Yeah, I can keep a secret...
dragonclawsedw: ...Can I use it one last time though?
XStrike8: Tourists? o.o Oh.
Arch mage144: ...*eyebrow quirk*
Arch mage144: Certainly.
XStrike8: Where are we, again? <.>
XStrike8: My head's still kinda fuzzy...
dragonclawsedw: Thanks... *walks into the water*
AdamSquint: *also walks into the water*
dragonclawsedw: ...say what's your name?
Arch mage144: My name is Malik.
AdamSquint: Thank you for pointing us in the right direction, Malik...
dragonclawsedw: Where's Xzar'il anyways?
Arch mage144: *sighs* I'm sorry I troubled you.
Arch mage144: He lives...
dragonclawsedw: Do you know?
Arch mage144: ...on an island.
dragonclawsedw: ...island?
Arch mage144: Yes.
Arch mage144: The island of Telluria.
dragonclawsedw: O_O
AdamSquint: o.o
dragonclawsedw: That's where those other guys went!
AdamSquint: isnt' that...
AdamSquint: yeah...
XStrike8: oooh...
dragonclawsedw: ...wonder how they're doing...o.o *wrings out her hair*
Arch mage144: I shall keep an eye on your progress...
Arch mage144: I admit I am unfortunately not powerful enough to assault Xzar'il directly...
Arch mage144: But...
Arch mage144: I can give you each a small gift of sorts to make the task easier.
Arch mage144: How can I aid you best?
Arch mage144: ...wait. Don't tell me,
Arch mage144: I know. *thin smile*
AdamSquint: *eyebrow raise* o.ô
XStrike8: o.o WOOW.
dragonclawsedw: Heh...mindreader...
XStrike8: You must be really good at readin people's minds, mister.
Arch mage144: *Squintz feels an improvement in his talents at channeling holy energy (a free +1 bonus to Holy Magic, woo woo)*
AdamSquint: (woo!)
AdamSquint: O_O
AdamSquint: Thank you...o_o
Arch mage144 has left the room.
AdamSquint: (GM DOWN!)
Arch mage144 has entered the room.
AdamSquint: (wb!)
Arch mage144: You, young man...*looks at Solis*
XStrike8: Y... y.. Yes, sir? o.o;;;
Arch mage144: I believe I shall expand your capabilities in your art as well. (Solis gets +1 to Tarot Magic.)
XStrike8: Oooh.... o.o -.- o.o
Arch mage144: *Solis feels the knowledge of the tarot users of the past flood into him*
XStrike8: WHEE!!!! ^-^
XStrike8: Wait... >.> *pulls out his cards, and sees them all glowing for the moment.... except for one card.*
XStrike8: v.v
Arch mage144: *blinks*
pdRydia: o__o
pdRydia: Meep?
AdamSquint: o_O? Huh?
pdRydia: *eyes the nonglowing card*
XStrike8: *looks curiously at the Universe card* o.o Weeird. This one doesn't work.
pdRydia: T: non shiny. o.o I'm hungry.
Arch mage144: And you, miss...
Arch mage144: I sense you have an affinity towards the element of fire. Perhaps I shall increase that.
XStrike8: *the card has the picture of a dancer on it, in the middle of a great set of stones* Aww... v.v
Arch mage144: (+1 fire rank for Aya...but...I'm not quite done yet.)
dragonclawsedw: Fiiiire *big grin on her face*
AdamSquint: <_<;;;
dragonclawsedw: IM: Fire is shiney.
pdRydia: o.o
Arch mage144: *Aya's clothing shimmers briefly...*
Arch mage144: (I assume she's wearing what she's wearing in all the fanart, yes?)
dragonclawsedw: <.< .. >.> What the?!
dragonclawsedw: (Yes, and the robe on top of that)
Arch mage144: *and a pair of golden, shimmering robes replace her old ones*
Arch mage144: *they sparkle, shine, and otherwise reflect the light in a dazzling manner*
AdamSquint: o_O
dragonclawsedw: O.o .... o.O ... ^_____^
XStrike8: oooOOOoooo....
dragonclawsedw: IM: Shiney!
Arch mage144: I'll let you discover their power on your own. It's more fun that way. *slight smile*
dragonclawsedw: ^___^ Thanks...
pdRydia: o.o
pdRydia: T: hungry...
Arch mage144: And now...I suppose...oh, wait.
AdamSquint: IM: that thing is going to be hell on stealth...
pdRydia: *super sneaky ninja dragon slips over toward Aya*
pdRydia: >.>
Arch mage144: *Azul finds himself in the possession of a sandwich*
XStrike8: Those are some really shiney robes, Miss Aya.
AdamSquint: Yes, they are.
pdRydia: *about ready to nibble on the robes...then sees the sandwich*
pdRydia: O_O
pdRydia: ^_^ *happy POUNCE*
pdRydia: Grar!
XStrike8: WHEE!! ^o^
Arch mage144: Now...if we're all finished here...
pdRydia: *chomp chew munch*
pdRydia: ^_____,,^
Arch mage144: Could you four leave me alone? *wan smile*
AdamSquint: Yes, sir.
XStrike8: Yes, sir. ^_^;;;
AdamSquint: And thank you for your aid.
dragonclawsedw: Heh, no problem..
Arch mage144: I shall be watching you.
AdamSquint: if you three are ready...?
AdamSquint: *walks out of the water*
dragonclawsedw: I'm ready... *shakes her hair out*
AdamSquint: okay...
AdamSquint: let's go.
XStrike8: Okay...
XStrike8: *walks over to the stone slab*
AdamSquint: *ditto*
Arch mage144: *and as the three touch the dais, they vanish in a flash of light...hopefully...if Kate cooperates...*
Arch mage144: *otherwise, she might end up in three or four pieces...*
AdamSquint: (XD)
dragonclawsedw: (ahhh1 no no no !)
Arch mage144: *and the group arrives in the middle of the town, sitting in the gazebo*
AdamSquint: ...
AdamSquint: wow, that was fun. ^_^
dragonclawsedw: (AHHH! GAZEBO!)
pdRydia: o___,,,o??
AdamSquint: (Shaun, you save too, just in case I crash.)
XStrike8: (Certainly. But I'm close to crashing, too. o.o;;; )
AdamSquint: (Huh?)
XStrike8: (Comp's not acting right either. AOL ain't helping.)
AdamSquint: (ah.)
dragonclawsedw: (I didn't get it all because I froze)
Arch mage144: (Same)
dragonclawsedw: o.o What do we do now though....?
Arch mage144: (Wait, Dia can save it, can't she?)
AdamSquint: (yes...o.o)
KnightsofSquare: (...I've got everything from when Aya was chomped by the ghoul on)
AdamSquint: (Dia's got the whole thing..)
pdRydia: (saved)
Arch mage144: (And that concludes this section of "a war of two evils.)
AdamSquint: (w00t!)
XStrike8: (YAYERING!!! ^o^)
dragonclawsedw: (Rest is up to the other two eh?)
AdamSquint: (*attempts a save too*)
Arch mage144: (Well, maybe.)
Arch mage144: (I don't know what I'll do with them yet.)
AdamSquint: (WOOOOO! IT SAVED RIGHT!)
AdamSquint: (I DIDN'T CRASH!)
Arch mage144: (Woo.)
