Ebil Dia has entered the room. dragonclawsedw has entered the room. XStrike8: There. XStrike8: Much nicer. XStrike8: And Ebiler. Ebil Dia: indeed... Ebil Dia: ebil? XStrike8: Ebil. ^_^ Ebil Dia: hell? was rather a nice place when Dia visited >:D Ebil Dia: EBIL GM COLOURS! AAAAAAAAH! XStrike8: Dia, you're using Jared, right? XStrike8: And we have Kamos here... Ebil Dia: *gets into the Jared if-it-moves-it-might-eat-me mentality* Ebil Dia: yup ^_^ dragonclawsedw: I'll be using Kyra, which should be okay since combat hasn't started in the hunt yet... XStrike8: Which makes for one last char. AM told me you were intent on using Kyra, yes... dragonclawsedw: And this'll probably be done by the time Amanda gets back XStrike8: Likely XStrike8: Anyone think that we really need a fourth party member? Ebil Dia: o.o Up to you. Ebil Dia: Didn't Jak want in on this RP? T3chn0Namagomi: Uhh....are the enemies suitable for a group of 2 level 1 PCs and 1 level 3 PC? XStrike8: Sore Wa Himitsu Desu. XStrike8: Although I'll be checking up on them. Ebil Dia: <.< Ebil Dia: ...what's the big deal, Nam? o_o The main thing is the RP, not the combat. >.> dragonclawsedw: Yeah XP XStrike8: *has exactly TOO MANY windows open now. @.@;;;* dragonclawsedw: You deal with my weak white mage and YOU'LL LIKE IT! T3chn0Namagomi: Uhh...how can you RP a corpse? XStrike8: He thinks I might kill off Kamos. Ebil Dia: You think ... XStrike8: As I told you before, if you do something stupid, then I'll not catch you or whatever. Otherwise. T3chn0Namagomi: I'm guessing I'm going to have to go Solid Snake on the dungeon or something Ebil Dia: Doug, Shaun is not going to kill your character because of a roll of a die...you have to be really, REALLY...either stupid or annoying to get killed off Ebil Dia: worse than Folx, because you'll notice he lived. T3chn0Namagomi: Ahh T3chn0Namagomi: I wouldn't have let Folx live Ebil Dia: I would have. >.> Ebil Dia: *doesn't believe in char death under very many circumstances* T3chn0Namagomi: If I were in the party, I mean dragonclawsedw: Or if Shaun suddenly removes his plastic mask and reveals that he's really from Ayenee and nukes all our chars in an auto. Ebil Dia: XD XStrike8: *AUTO AUTO!!!* Ebil Dia: Shaun is a secret AYENEER! T3chn0Namagomi: What I mean is if Kamos were in the party, he wouldn't have gone to help Cantor XStrike8: *switches his playlist OFF Ayeka Bojo, because that's NOT the theme I wanna start things off with* Ebil Dia: then Kamos would have been left alone outside in Isil XD T3chn0Namagomi: Heh...and he would have to try some Stealth Infiltration Action XStrike8: ^________^ T3chn0Namagomi: Okay...shall we get going with the RP? Ebil Dia: <.< ... XStrike8: Ah. There it is. T3chn0Namagomi: And hope that none of us die? Ebil Dia: ... Ebil Dia: Doug, stop being paranoid. Your char's not going to die. o.o;;; XStrike8: Ebil Dia: And hell, he's the strongest of the group, anyway, if someone DOES die, it won't be him. 9.9;; T3chn0Namagomi: Maybe I should put Waru Bad Blood on for BG music...maybe that'll calm me down Ebil Dia: XStrike8: (*drops a Tarrasque Plush into Nama's lap*) dragonclawsedw: T3chn0Namagomi: T3chn0Namagomi: XStrike8: (Baby Jesus) T3chn0Namagomi: (*crushed by the Tarrasque Plush*) Ebil Dia: (the queen of England) dragonclawsedw: (YO MOMMA!) XStrike8: We begin our tale on the outskirts of the town of Szezle. It's a somewhat peaceful town... as peaceful as Rivan towns get, anyways. XStrike8: It's got the usual bar fights and suspicious townsfolk in it.... but today something's a bit different. Ebil Dia: (Szezle) dragonclawsedw: *as per her white mage of Varrock duties mandate, she makes her occasional journeys accross the continent to selflessly help people in need* XStrike8: *Travellers are distraught to hear the sound of... marching down the main streets* dragonclawsedw: (Ack, brb, I gotta reconnect...) Ebil Dia: (okies. o.o) Ebil Dia: (<.<) dragonclawsedw has left the room. T3chn0Namagomi: *walks into the town, wearing a gray trenchcoat and blue shirt/pants, with a grim look upon his face, as if the next person to annoy him was to die* Ebil Dia: (...*wonders if her character is a marcher*) T3chn0Namagomi: *hears the sound* *grumbling angrily* This BETTER not be a fucking parade... T3chn0Namagomi: (He's pissed. Try walking from Nekonia to Szezle and see how you feel, though) XStrike8: Trumpeter: MAKE WAY!!! XStrike8: Make way for the Imperial Army!!! Ebil Dia: (...shouln't we wait for Kate to come back? ^_^;; ) T3chn0Namagomi: -v- What Imperial army, and what reason? XStrike8: (Nothing's gonna happen, yet.)

T3chn0Namagomi: *looks around* XStrike8: S2: Don't worry too much. We'll protect ya. *chuckles* Ebil Dia: *can't decide if he should be proud or terrified, jumps as another soldier addresses him* T3chn0Namagomi: Goddamnit...if I had money, I wouldn't have to do this... Ebil Dia: o.O;; ^_^;; I, I'm not nerv-- ...*meekly* yes. ._. T3chn0Namagomi: *looks for people to gain information from* Ebil Dia: IM: I thouht I was here to protect, not be protected... T3chn0Namagomi: *and REAL information, not "Times are tough"* XStrike8: *In front of the marching men, there's a stern-looking man. He seems to be the commander* COMPANYYYY!!!! XStrike8: C: HALT! Ebil Dia: *skids to a halt* O.o;;; T3chn0Namagomi: IM: Hmm....maybe I should listen in... XStrike8: C: Hmmm.... T3chn0Namagomi: *decides to attempt to sneak near the group, to get an idea of what's going on* Ebil Dia: o__o;; XStrike8: C: *turns back to the men* Make camp outside the town, 1000 paces. Ebil Dia: *resists the urge to fiddle with his brand spanking new Traidam* XStrike8: *men* Yes, Sir. T3chn0Namagomi: IM: or maybe not... Ebil Dia: *a beat late* Yessir! ^_^;; XStrike8: *the men start towards the outskirts of town* XStrike8: *glares at Jared* Not you, Soldier.

Ebil Dia: (someone wanna catch Kate up?) dragonclawsedw: (Hai, what's going on?) XStrike8: (The Rivan Imperial Army is marching through town.) XStrike8: (Along with Dia's char, Jared.) dragonclawsedw: O.O IM: Oh my! It looks like there's going to be a war! XStrike8: Can I HELP you, sir? e.e Ebil Dia: o___o;; *gives in and begins fiddling with the Traidam* T3chn0Namagomi: I was hired by an unknown employer to deal with some sort of disturbance here XStrike8: *looks Kamos over* Hmm.... XStrike8: *pulls out a paper* Are you one Namagomi? T3chn0Namagomi: Yes T3chn0Namagomi: *nods* dragonclawsedw: IM: I should get out of here.... dragonclawsedw: O.O *watches soldiers march by* Ebil Dia: *eyes Kamos fearfully* <.<;; XStrike8: *extends a hand* Good. Name's Commander Treize of the Rivan Imperial Army, 4th division. dragonclawsedw: (TREIZE! XD) T3chn0Namagomi: *handshake* XStrike8: Well, we should talk inside *hooks a thumb at a nearby inn* T3chn0Namagomi: *nods* Ebil Dia: o___o;;;; XStrike8: C'mon, Soldier. Look SHARP, now. dragonclawsedw: o_o Ebil Dia: *comes sharply to attention* XStrike8: *to Jared, obviously* Ebil Dia: o_____o;;;;;; dragonclawsedw: IM: I should look for another place to um...do good. Ebil Dia: *looks scared, rather than sharp, naturally* XStrike8: Lets go. *walks towards said inn. Ebil Dia: *pauses a moment, before hurrying after* T3chn0Namagomi: *follows the commander, seeing as he (Kamos) does not know the city* XStrike8: Treize: Bartender! Gimmie the best wine you have. XStrike8: Bartender: Ya take Red? XStrike8: Treize: Whatever. e.e XStrike8: Anything for you, sir? T3chn0Namagomi: A sake, if possible XStrike8: Get him a Sake. e.e Ebil Dia: o__o;;; dragonclawsedw: *curious however, she slips to the inn where the commander went* XStrike8: *the Bartender returns with the drinks* Soldier. Jared. Sit down, please. XStrike8: The emperor tells me that you've seen the Four Winds out here? T3chn0Namagomi: *sits down, and takes a gulp of his sake* Ebil Dia: *sits mechanically* Ebil Dia: Er, ah, um... >.>;; I...err...there are dragoons, yes...^_^;; T3chn0Namagomi: No, I don't believe I have XStrike8: Where's their base? Any ideas? dragonclawsedw: *sits at a table not too far away and eavesdrops* T3chn0Namagomi: (Four winds?) dragonclawsedw: *since she's good at that XP* XStrike8: (Ask IC, and you shalt be answered.) Ebil Dia: U, up, north, near home. ^_^;;; And east! North and east. Northeast! T3chn0Namagomi: May I inquire as to what that may be T3chn0Namagomi: ? XStrike8: Northeast, huh? XStrike8: Oh. Sorry. XStrike8: We're here to put an end to a... troublesome set of dragoons. The Four Winds sect. Ebil Dia: >.>;;;;;;; T3chn0Namagomi: I see...I've heard of these "dragoons", prefer to call them "Lancers" myself dragonclawsedw: IM: Dragoons... XStrike8: They're quite opposed to the new government, and they've even gone so far as to declare themselves seperate entirely from the country, citing various scriptures. Hell, they think they're some kinda damned paladins or something. Ebil Dia: Father calls them dragon kni-- *hushes up suddenly* <-<;;;;;; dragonclawsedw: IM: Like...that one scary dragoon...that tried to kill Dia... T3chn0Namagomi: Hmph...religious bastards, I'm guessing XStrike8: >.> You have something to say, soldier? *glares at Jared* Ebil Dia: (doesn't Kyra still have that pendant from Cheryl? Was that Kyra who got it? The rose quartz thing) XStrike8: Something like that. dragonclawsedw: IM; Self-proclaimed paladin's of Ishtar dragonclawsedw: (Yep, she does) Ebil Dia: No sir. ^_^;;;;;;;; dragonclawsedw: >.< Twisting her power to their own uses.... dragonclawsedw: *talking out loud now, her hands shaking* Marring her name... XStrike8: Unfortunately, we have no information on their base, other than where it is, thanks to this young lad here. *pats Jared on the shoulder* T3chn0Namagomi: !! Ebil Dia: o_____o;; *patted* T3chn0Namagomi: *turns around to where Kyra is* XStrike8: Hmm. <.< *looks directly at Kyra* Ebil Dia: *oblivious to Kyra* dragonclawsedw: O_O;;; XStrike8: Madam, this is Military business. I'm sure you want to stay out of it. e.e Ebil Dia: IM: If someone were to eat me, would they bake, fry, boil, or grill me? ;_; dragonclawsedw: <.<;;; *whisles* Um....what are you talking about sir? T3chn0Namagomi: Confidential information XStrike8: Exactly my point.... wait. T3chn0Namagomi: *turns around* dragonclawsedw: *gulps, then smiles* I didn't hear anything... *sweetly* XStrike8: (Does Kyra have any obvious signs of her being a White mage?) T3chn0Namagomi: ... dragonclawsedw: (Yes, she wears white mage robes) T3chn0Namagomi: (I think she wears the robe) XStrike8: (Figured) XStrike8: You, ma'am. You a white mage? XStrike8: <.< dragonclawsedw: (and she has "WHITE MAGE" written in black letters on her forehead) dragonclawsedw: Y-yes...^^;; Ebil Dia: (XD) XStrike8: (Heh.) T3chn0Namagomi: ... XStrike8: ... nevermind. XStrike8: Anyways, what we need is information. dragonclawsedw: IM: Whew..... Ebil Dia: *notices Kyra for the first time and stares at her in fear* IM: AAAAH A WHITE MAGE! T3chn0Namagomi: (Hold on) dragonclawsedw: o___o IM: Why is that kid looking at me like that..... Ebil Dia: IM: ;_; I hope she doesn't cast a holy spell and fry me...ack, that's another way someone could cook me... XStrike8: (K.) Ebil Dia: *looks to be a middling teenager, looking about as average as average gets, except for the fact both his hair and his eyes are pitch black* dragonclawsedw: IM: Don't tell me that's another....like that Taero guy... T3chn0Namagomi: (Back) Ebil Dia: (XP) XStrike8: We're gonna attack the place from the front. We need you to infiltrate the place and tell us a bit about the layout. Any dragoons come your way, you're free to do what you want with em. But we NEED that info. T3chn0Namagomi: Hmmm... Ebil Dia: (*acquires an eyeglass-induced headache* yarr...) T3chn0Namagomi: I understand XStrike8: Emperor Redwin's willing to pay you well for this job, you understand. T3chn0Namagomi: Information about layout, and also security level if applicable? T3chn0Namagomi: Yes, I understand Ebil Dia: o___o XStrike8: Works for me. Anything to make a siege easier for my men. Heck, if you can destroy some of their water or food supplies, I'd be grateful. dragonclawsedw: *continues to eavesdrop* Ebil Dia: In, infiltrate... *looks ready to faint* T3chn0Namagomi: (Heh...Stealth Infiltration Action! Namagear Solid 2: Sons of the Four Winds) XStrike8: Not you, Soldier. Ebil Dia: *looks RELIEVED* ^_^;;; T3chn0Namagomi: I understand... Ebil Dia: I...knew that.... XStrike8: Hopefully we won't need you on the front lines at all. Ebil Dia: (Treize: -_-; HOPEfully...) XStrike8: *glances back at Kyra* Something tells me you might be interested in this as well, ma'am. T3chn0Namagomi: I basically just have to play spy for you, and get info, possibly also sabotage XStrike8: Are you interested? We sure could use a white mage in our ranks. dragonclawsedw: (Damnit!....*growls and goes to throw dinner in the microwave*) dragonclawsedw: o_o Er...I...um...... dragonclawsedw: IM: I should help but....but THIS IS A WAR! O_O T3chn0Namagomi: So? XStrike8: >.> v.v Most of our commanders wouldn't want any mages around. But they don't know a damned thing about em anyways. T3chn0Namagomi: War equals profits*to Kyra* dragonclawsedw: I...guess....I could help out.... dragonclawsedw: >V> Profits are not my concern, helping people is. T3chn0Namagomi: *rolls eyes at Kyra* Stereotypical White Mage Ebil Dia: M, miss... *to Kyra* T3chn0Namagomi: *turns back to the Commander* Ebil Dia: >.>;;; These dragoons...are threatening my family. v.v;;;;;; XStrike8: Your family, son? v.v Hmm.... Ebil Dia: And...many other families in Riva... <.<;;; T3chn0Namagomi: *takes another drink of sake* XStrike8: No WONDER you were willing to volunteer this information. Ebil Dia: v_v;;;;;; XStrike8: Well, Madam, even if profit isn't your concern, you would be paid for such an excersize, should you choose to. dragonclawsedw: That's awful....o.o dragonclawsedw: *pointedly ignores Kamos* dragonclawsedw: I'll do it sir.... XStrike8: *nods solemnly* Ebil Dia: *luckily, is too afraid of Kyra to glomp her* Ebil Dia: ^__^;;; T3chn0Namagomi: *ignoring Kyra* Ebil Dia: *oblivious to the ignoring* dragonclawsedw: -.- XStrike8: Hmm... You'll likely need to prepare for this kind of thing. *pulls out a sack from his armor* XStrike8: *counts out some coins, and gives them to Kyra and Nama* 300 each to buy provisions with. T3chn0Namagomi: *nods* T3chn0Namagomi: *takes coins* XStrike8: >.> Just don't run off on me. Ebil Dia: o___o;;; dragonclawsedw: Um.... thank you... o_o; Ebil Dia: IM: shiny coooiiins... dragonclawsedw: (XD) dragonclawsedw: *takes the money* Ebil Dia: (*idly wonders if ALL her dragon chars will have hoarding instincts >_>;;;*) XStrike8: Hmm.... Jared. >.> T3chn0Namagomi: (ProbablY) Ebil Dia: Sir! o_o;;;;; XStrike8: I just thought of something. Ebil Dia: Yessir? T3chn0Namagomi: IM: Provisions... XStrike8: You didn't happen to hear of any back ways into their fort, did you? dragonclawsedw: *stands* Excuse me, sorry to intterrupt but where is the potions store? XStrike8: *shrugs* Not sure. I'd assume it was down that way *points to a general location down the street. T3chn0Namagomi: I'm going to wait...I need to ask this man something Ebil Dia: Er, ah, um...^_^;; I and everyone I know tries to avoid it when we can so... *trails off* Ebil Dia: But, ah, a back way...wouldn't it be by the, erm, back? dragonclawsedw: Okay... *nods and exits the bar* XStrike8: Not exactly, son. Ebil Dia: *looks down the way the commander points* o____o XStrike8: *puts his hand on Jared's shoulder* Ebil Dia: *jumps slightly* <.<;;; XStrike8: Look. -.- dragonclawsedw: IM: I'll need mana restore...I hope they have some.... XStrike8: Here. *gives Jared another 300* Hopefully we won't see any fighting. And I know you're new and all, but just in case, you should buy something, too. KnightsofSquare has entered the room. XStrike8: (Hewwo, Mike.) Ebil Dia: y, y, yessir! T3chn0Namagomi: Excuse me, commander. XStrike8: And don't be so nervous.... eh? >.> Ebil Dia: *salutes and waits to be dismissed, almost having run off before remembering not to do so* XStrike8: What is it, Kamos. XStrike8: Dismissed, Soldier. dragonclawsedw: *searches for the potions shop* Ebil Dia: Yessir! ^_^;; T3chn0Namagomi: Might I ask exactly what kind of things to expect from the lancers if I get caught? Ebil Dia: *darts off quickly* XStrike8: *the potion shop is located a little ways off the street* Ebil Dia: *also hunting for the potions shop* XStrike8: Well, I've heard that this is one of the older Dragoon sects. Most likely they've killed Dragons before, many of the higher ones, anyways. Ebil Dia: (*likes all these chat Rps taking place in Riva <.<; ^.^;*) T3chn0Namagomi: Hmm....any unique threats? Poison, perhaps? XStrike8: Watch out for fire breath. T3chn0Namagomi: Ahh...yes... XStrike8: Or perhaps poison-tipped Lances, if they're that low. T3chn0Namagomi: Fire breath....WAIT! They breath FIRE?!?! T3chn0Namagomi: O.o XStrike8: They could, according to records. If they've killed enough dragons, they accquire this power, I'm told. XStrike8: Never learned how myself. T3chn0Namagomi: I understand, and will prepare accordingly XStrike8: But *pats his own lance* I'm not exactly inexperienced myself. Ebil Dia: (Dia: e.e+ *scorched and burned* YEAH *cough* the &^#@ can breath fire!) T3chn0Namagomi: I understand T3chn0Namagomi: *gets up* XStrike8: (Damian: *similarly scorched* Yeah, they're a scream. e.e) T3chn0Namagomi: This SHOULDN'T be TOO complicated...I hope...

Ebil Dia: *gathering up his courage, darts forward toward the nearest dragoon and stabs at his chest* >_<;;; T3chn0Namagomi: (Why forcefield if they have physical attacks?) dragonclawsedw: (*smirk*) XStrike8: *the dragoon can't dance out of the way in time, and is caught in the shoulder by Jared's glaive* Ebil Dia: O_O;; *just barely refrains from apologizing* Ebil Dia: IM: B, blood...eep... ;_; XStrike8: *Staggering back, the Dragoon decides to help his friend and stabs at Kamos* XStrike8: *which Kamos nimbly dodges, having seen the dragoon look his way* T3chn0Namagomi: Suckass. dragonclawsedw: (Inviting Vince to watch) T3chn0Namagomi: What DID you do to get in there anyway? XStrike8: *the other dragoon seems like he's not quite in the fight, and merely stands and shakes his head* Smartzvn85 has entered the room. XStrike8: D1: GrrrrRRR.... eVe Smartzvn85: (hello. I will be lurking...) XStrike8: (More Kamos Action) T3chn0Namagomi: Yeah, Grrr to you too, asswipe dragonclawsedw: o___o Eeeek T3chn0Namagomi: I have a nifty little suprise for you, anyway... T3chn0Namagomi: *extands his hand out* T3chn0Namagomi: *a set of blue glowing crosshairs appears in front of it, and four missiles fly out* (could Multimissile split up the damage between targets, perhaps?) Ebil Dia: O_O T3chn0Namagomi: (In other words, could two hit each one, rather than four hitting one of them?) XStrike8: (Hmmm....) XStrike8: (Possible. Lower AT for it, though, due to the extra lock required.) T3chn0Namagomi: (Hmm...or maybe just have all four hit the injured one) T3chn0Namagomi: (I mean the REALLY injured one) XStrike8: *the four missiles impact the dragoon all at once, in a large explosion. There isn't much left of the dragoon when the dust clears* XStrike8: (Kyra) T3chn0Namagomi: (He's dead?)

DRIVE EM BACK!!! XStrike8: *Kyra's staff is right on target, breaking the dragoon's nose. Though weak, he manages to keep his footing through the powerful blow* XStrike8: (Jared) Ebil Dia: *fires off a second dark arrow at the remaining dragoon, once again opting to stay as FAR away from him as possible* XStrike8: *and the dragoon is blasted back into a tree. Apparently a sturdy one, as a branch ends up going through the dragoon's chest* Ebil Dia: O___O;; Ebil Dia: *keels over and hurks* ;;>_<;; T3chn0Namagomi: Uhh...holy shit...

Ebil Dia: ~___~ dragonclawsedw: *moves to Jared* Please...let me heal you...move your hand away... Ebil Dia: O_O NOOOOOOO! XStrike8: T: mm.... -V- T3chn0Namagomi: *searches the corpses for anything of value* XStrike8: There'll only be more of them.

I'm sorry. Ebil Dia: (whoops, ignore my T ^_^;;;;; ) XStrike8: *nods* Get that checked on. RIGHT AWAY, SOLDIER. Ebil Dia: Yessir! Ebil Dia: IM: Should have bought a potion...should have yes... T3chn0Namagomi: (Note that Kamos's healing spell is not holy-based) Ebil Dia: (indeed? But Jared wouldn't know. >_>;; ) T3chn0Namagomi: I am NOT casting Sak on him XStrike8: *Kamos only finds 25 coins on the dragons, and nothing intact of value* T3chn0Namagomi: *gets 25 coins* dragonclawsedw: ._. I'm sorry I can't be more useful.. Smartzvn85: (why would dragons carry coins?) XStrike8: Eh. I've seen a couple men shrivel up and die when a competent healer tried to heal their wounds. XStrike8: (Dragoons, not dragons. >:P) Smartzvn85: (and how?) Smartzvn85: (OH) XStrike8: (*thwaps V* Smartzvn85: (oops...) Smartzvn85: (*thwapped* OW!) XStrike8: (*thwaps himself for the error*) Smartzvn85: (HA!) XStrike8: Real wierd, too. dragonclawsedw: They must've been undead.... XStrike8: No one can explain it. Least no one I know, anyways. Ebil Dia: *perks up and listens* T3chn0Namagomi: Odd... dragonclawsedw: Or...something like it... Ebil Dia: O_O *listens intently* Ebil Dia: Er, ah...what were those people like, sir? XStrike8: I'd like to think I'd know an undead when I see one. XStrike8: Seemed normal enough to me. T3chn0Namagomi: Or...shadow...dra...gon...s.... XStrike8: Eh? There ARE no Dragons in Riva, sir. >.> T3chn0Namagomi: I know that they can take human form XStrike8: Least that's what we're told. Better to ignore the beasts than try to fight em, I'd say. Ebil Dia: *frrezes in his spot* Ebil Dia: *freezes XStrike8: <.< Ebil Dia: *slinks off to clean and bandage his wound* XStrike8: Eh. Ebil Dia: <.<;;;;;;;;;;; dragonclawsedw: o.o Oh...hm...

So THERE. e\/e AND DON'T CALL ME A BEAST! RAWR! *bappity*) XStrike8: Hopefully we won't get attacked like that again.

We should get there in a while. dragonclawsedw: *nods* T3chn0Namagomi: Hmm...and then I come in dragonclawsedw: IM: That...didn't seem so bad... ^^ Ebil Dia: -.- IM: I won't have the time to mix up a batch of potions...

We're usin em on the wounded right now. Ask the surgeon if he has a couple. Probably doesn't have much he can spare, though.

XStrike8: Probably we should rest here a little longer. T3chn0Namagomi: Wait until nightfall? XStrike8: *A soldier stops Treize* XStrike8: Yeah. Better time for you to get in, I'd say. dragonclawsedw: Nightfall....' T3chn0Namagomi: Me too...unless they have a night shift. dragonclawsedw: IM: But what if they attack at night?! O_O Smartzvn85: (I should draw Kyra o.o) dragonclawsedw: *shivers* IM: I never should have gotten mixed up with this... Smartzvn85: (What exactly does she look like?) T3chn0Namagomi: Okay...so what can I expect if I mess up their food and water storage? Ebil Dia: (ask in OOC chat) T3chn0Namagomi: as a bonus, I mean?

XStrike8: *the line's decently long, as several minorly wounded soldiers are waiting to get potions* dragonclawsedw: IM: I never thought.....I'd end up being part of a war again... Ebil Dia: *facefall* XStrike8: *another man walks by* Hey, I hear that the Commander's campin out here for the day!!! Ebil Dia: v_v XStrike8: Soldier: Really? o.o XStrike8: S2: *shrugs* We'll see in a bit.

Ebil Dia: IM: ...that's true...and no human should know it...^_^;;; XStrike8: Soldier: *nods* Ebil Dia: Uh...yeah...^_^;;;;;;; T3chn0Namagomi: IM: Is this what I'm being forced to deal with? Loss of love...and now unknown rewards? Why DO I exist anyway? XStrike8: Soldier: *looks wistful* My girlfriend sang a song somethin like that. XStrike8: Said she'd learned it from a friend of hers when she was little. Kyo Kusanagi95 has left the room. Ebil Dia: o__o *blinks* Ebil Dia: S, sang it? Ebil Dia: I, in common, I mean? Ebil Dia: *Common Kyo Kusanagi95 has entered the room. XStrike8: Soldier: Yeah. What OTHER language would she sing it in? e.e XStrike8: Soldier: Anyways... >.> That's all I needed to know...

Smartzvn85 has left the room. dragonclawsedw: Oh...um...thank you...^^ XStrike8: *eventually Jared feels as if he might never get through the line, especially at the pace it's moving* T3chn0Namagomi: Hmm...I don't think I'll need a tent dragonclawsedw: *retreats to Treize's tent* dragonclawsedw: *and...kinda hides there* XStrike8: Treize: Suit yourself. -.- Ebil Dia: >.>;;; *eyes the person in front of him, deciding to scoot off before he decides to ask him any more questions* Ebil Dia: *heads back and pitches up his tent, with a bit of difficulty* T3chn0Namagomi: IM: It's not like I'm going to be in there all day and night...

Even that has its limits... Ebil Dia: IM: I wonder how Joseph and Jaan are doing? And little Joy... >.> T3chn0Namagomi: Is life really worth it...all things die in the end anyway... Ebil Dia: *sighs* ._. IM: That white mage almost HEALED me... Ebil Dia: *shudders a bit* XStrike8: *And with these thoughts in mind, the sun slowly inched its way behind the clouds and gave way to the moon* T3chn0Namagomi: Is love real? If so...why is it always withheld from me? XStrike8: *A full moon... an omen to some, but to others, beauty* XStrike8: Treize: *to a subordinate* It's time. Rally the men. T3chn0Namagomi: Interesting...I never did look at space before... XStrike8: Treize: *looks up at the moon* A nice night..... dragonclawsedw: <.< ... >.> ..... IM: Really wish Daniel was here...

Ebil Dia: o.o;;; dragonclawsedw: O.O IM: Oh my... Ebil Dia: IM: It looks like Auntie Lynn's house XStrike8: *the Fort of the Four Winds, Called Windfall, seemed creepy in the encroaching moonlight, as if someone had put silver streaks into pure black obsidian stone* Ebil Dia: *shudders at foul memories of cheek-pinching and cooing* XStrike8: Treize: So. This is the place.... well... T3chn0Namagomi: I guess it's time for me to do my bit... XStrike8: Treize: I suppose they'll be out soon enough to attack us. Merc. XStrike8: Yeah... we'll....

Not AGAIN. Men. ATTACK!!!! Ebil Dia: O_O;;;; Ebil Dia: *this time, obeys the order to attack immediately, if jerkily* T3chn0Namagomi: Shit... XStrike8: *the two groups clash in battle again* dragonclawsedw: O.O Eek! T3chn0Namagomi: *attempts to move around the group* XStrike8: *Jared and Nama can't quite get close to the main fighting, but it's definitely heavier than before.* Ebil Dia: o.o;;;;;; Ebil Dia: IM: Now would be a good time to find a back way.... ._. XStrike8: *and much tighter, as there's very little room for Nama to get through to the front* Ebil Dia: IM: Jaan was so much better at that than me... XStrike8: *And Kyra's bad feeling seems to grow slowly stronger by the second* T3chn0Namagomi: IM: This would be a lot easier if I were a chimera... dragonclawsedw: *winces* dragonclawsedw: IM: This can't be good... XStrike8: *there seems to be something.... building on the astral. To Kyra it's like a painful ache coming from... somewhere* Ebil Dia: *heads his way over to Kamos* Err...sir!

XStrike8: .... dragonclawsedw: *gulps* XStrike8: We both have a problem, mister Namagomi. XStrike8: I can't leave till this is sorted out somehow. I suspect that the Emperor won't take kindly to reports of demons, and I'd only get sent BACK out here. T3chn0Namagomi: A BIG problem...this needs to be brought up to someone who knows how to deal with these things Ebil Dia: M, maybe we can capture a dragoon...and ask what's happening! ^_^;;; T3chn0Namagomi: Problem is...who?

T3chn0Namagomi: That is tactically wrong on so many levels XStrike8: *sigh* Yes, Miss. I'm a Commander in the Rivan Imperial Army. XStrike8: Whether I like it or not, it's my JOB to do something about this matter... XStrike8: >.> As much as I'd rather not have to...... dragonclawsedw: o___o XStrike8: There's gotta be a spellcaster or someone behind this.

WE don't know if those things really ARE contained there or not. Ebil Dia: maybe if we take time now, though, it'll be better than to rush in... XStrike8: But HOW MUCH TIME DO WE HAVE?!?
