322:45:55: <viejo> [heavy breathing]
423:11:08: <Rainglove> The entire group is in the back of a covered cart, rolling down a road that hasn't seen pavement since the apocalypse. You were all approached a few weeks back by various messengers about coming to a small town by the name of Novit, in exchange for a position of joint leadership in the town. You're headed there now both to see the town and learn...
523:11:15: <Rainglove> what, exactly, they'd need protection from.
623:12:45: <Rainglove> The man driving the cart has been blathering on about his family of smiths and how famous they all used to be years ago, before the world went bang.
723:13:52: <Rainglove> the entire world coughs expectantly at all you silent faggots
823:14:01: <Goatwright> FUCK THE WORLD.
923:14:03: <Goatwright> I WANT MY CART.
1023:14:12: <viejo> Maybe we're in your cart... RIGHT NOW?
1123:14:21: <Benedict> The goblin in the cart, overshadowed by the much larger races, cleans his musket as he listens to the driver go on and on about his family of smiths. "Nurel is interested. What did his family specialize in? Armor? Guns?"
1223:15:15: <NachtRuine> The masked man with the face of stone mutters a prayer under his breath, with no intonations, simply words.
1323:15:27: <viejo> Qojo looks out across the countryside and tries to spot anything interesting to take his mind off this drivel.
1423:16:07: <Goatwright> Waakanti watches the road, anxiously tapping his foot against the floor of the cart. He yearns to stretch his legs and his back, and perhaps become familiar with this new landscape.
1523:16:37: <Rainglove> The man seems entirely caught off guard by someone actually paying attention to his chattering. "Oh, y'know, they made uh... swords. Swords n' armor. All kinds of stuff like that. Anyway, my great uncle Jeremy, he invented the neck guard after he got in a /real/ nasty fight with his wife..."
1623:16:40: <Rainglove> the blathering continues
1723:17:12: <Benedict> Nurel listens, because there is not much to do.
1823:17:29: <Dados> Viejo, How gorgeous is this landscape?: 31 [1d20=20]
1923:17:29: <viejo> 1d20+11 How gorgeous is this landscape?
2023:17:34: <Rainglove> god
2123:17:34: <Rainglove> damn
2223:17:46: <Rainglove> Spontaneous rainbows appear
2323:17:46: <Goatwright> what the fuck
2423:17:54: <Hippocratesi> A peculiar elf sits in the back of the cart, his axe and his companion Húron asleep at his side. He isn't particularly happy with traveling with strange, ugly races but holds his tongue for now. He's too tired to even tell the driver to shut the fuck up.
2523:17:58: <Rainglove> the birds sing
2623:18:06: <Goatwright> What birds?
2723:18:13: <Goatwright> The MUTANT MAGIC MONSTER BIRDS?
2823:18:36: <Rainglove> the birds
2923:18:38: <Rainglove> duh
3023:18:58: <NachtRuine> Saavou spots the rainbows. "This is not your doing?" he says quietly to who knows what.
3123:19:00: <viejo> Seeing as Qojo's magnificent elven-like gaze finds literally nothing of interest, he turns back to the cart and its occupants.
3223:20:14: <Rainglove> Saavou the stonefaced, father of all bad puns, gets no response
3323:20:31: <Benedict> Nurel spies rainbows. How strange. "Rainbows. He thinks this is a good sign, driver."
3423:20:34: <Goatwright> He sure is stonefaced
3523:22:31: <Goatwright> ANYWAYS.
3623:23:01: <Goatwright> Waakanti rolls his shoulders, grumbling slightly as he calls up to the driver. "How much longer?"
3723:23:08: <Rainglove> The cart continues rolling along, and all you people staring intently at the blindingly beautiful landscape see a house appear from behind a hill, followed by a few more. A good-sized settlement (by post-apocalypse standards) appears. Ten or fifteen of what seem to be community houses, as well as some larger buildings that presumably...
3823:23:12: <Rainglove> Serve the needs of the citizens.
3923:23:51: <Rainglove> the birds continue singing, heralding your arrival
4023:24:01: <Benedict> "Driver. What does he know about town? What makes group? Elves? Half-orcs?
4123:27:06: <Rainglove> "Tore 'is jugular right out she d... Er, it's a bit of a mix to be honest. We get all types. Dwarves founded the place, they were holed up in the mountains right over there." He points to some rather spectacular mountains. "Still got the most o' them, but we got a bit of everything. Haven't seen too many of uh, your type though."
4223:28:25: <NachtRuine> "The call of the truly needy is blind."
4323:28:49: <Benedict> "He figured you would not." Nurel finds his rifle to be clean enough and takes a look over to those nice mountains, reminding him of home. Are those the mountains Nurel lived under when he was younger?
4423:30:19: <Rainglove> Odds are good.
4523:31:03: <Goatwright> "What types live beyond?" Waakanti gestures at the horizon. "Those that trouble you; why you brought us here."
4623:31:12: <Benedict> "<Here's to hoping I see no familiar dwarves.>" Nurel speaks in his native tongue.
4723:31:40: <NachtRuine> "Yes. What creatures are we expected to face?"
4823:32:43: <Hippocratesi> "Orcs, I presume?" Gwyn finally looks up, having noticed they were nearing the town.
4923:34:41: <Rainglove> "Well, sort of. There's all types. We got a real problem with bandits. Not so much in the town, but around it. We tried to clear this road off 'fore bringing you lot in, probably why we haven't seen any. Then there's the whole mostly dead dwarven kingdom in the mountains, dunno what's in there."
5023:35:48: <Benedict> "Guns will chase bandits. What does he call dwarf?"
5123:35:48: <NachtRuine> "I might expect that which is no longer dead in the dead kingdom."
5223:35:58: <viejo> "Hey, big golden guy, I've been meaning to ask, what's up with the damn -lion-?" Qojo pipes up.
5323:38:17: <Goatwright> Waakanti bristles slightly at the possibility of undead.
5423:39:20: <Hippocratesi> Gwyn wrinkles his nose at the rather rude monkey boy. "He is my dearest friend, we've forged a bond that cannot be broken. What is with your ridiculous headress, /monkey/?"
5523:39:29: <Rainglove> "Call it dead is what I call it. Never really knew a lot about it before, dwarves don't like to talk about it."
5623:40:04: <Benedict> "Understand. Nurel thanks information."
5723:40:05: <viejo> "A bond that can't be broken? The kind formed during, yakno..." Qojo winks.
5823:40:14: <viejo> "Your secret's safe with me, bud. Safe with me."
5923:41:03: <Benedict> "Safes not safe with several people."
6023:42:00: <NachtRuine> "My profession is of secrets. I assure you this one will not be retained in memory."
6123:42:42: <Hippocratesi> "Believe what you wish, ape. I haven't the time to argue with the likes of you." Gwyn furrows his brow. Fucking degenerate races.
6223:43:09: <Benedict> Nurel's mule has no doubt been following the cart. What a nice mule.
6323:43:11: <viejo> "Oh and, my ridiculous headdress? Let's just say we've forged a bond... One that cannot be broken... Wait, I think I find a tear forming. Oh, my!
6423:43:22: <viejo> Qojo cackles to himself.
6523:43:30: <Rainglove> The cart rolls into town, an oddly comforting bustle of activity surrounding the apparently massive cart. Some stop their activity and stare as the cart passes, clearly knowing who it holds. Others continue with their work. Odds are none of you have been in this kind of place for months, and it's a bit of a shock after the silence of most of the world.
6623:43:43: <Benedict> "Humor does not suit he." Nurel says to Qojo.
6723:44:55: <NachtRuine> "Civilization." Saavou looks around through the masses. "The exception to the rule. At least now."
6823:44:58: <Benedict> "He hears chatter. Nurel thinks expectations will flatten once tribe steps out."
6923:45:13: <Benedict> "Or perhaps just when tribe sees he."
7023:45:20: <Hippocratesi> Gwyn glances at the bustle of the town, feeling a pang of sorrow. It reminded him of the days when his clan prospered. Those days would return, he'd make sure of that.
7123:47:33: <Goatwright> Waakanti ducks further down in the cart, doing his best to avoid the gazes of those outside.
7223:47:37: <Goatwright> These... TINY PLEB RACES.
7323:48:07: <Dados> Viejo, perception again. Is anyone in the town smiling?: 18 [1d20=7]
7423:48:07: <viejo> 1d20+11 perception again. Is anyone in the town smiling?
7523:48:47: <Rainglove> The cart rolls to a stop in front of a relatively unassuming stone building, one of the few things made of stone in the town. "Well, this's where I let you off. Head dwarf's inside, it's been pleasure. Hope to see you all again." He nods at Nurel, then hops off the cart and begins tending to that poor goddamn mule.
7623:49:02: <Dados> Benedict, Let's look for any goblins, Nurel. Try not to lose your nose.: 17 [1d20=9]
7723:49:02: <Benedict> 1d20+8 Let's look for any goblins, Nurel. Try not to lose your nose.
7823:50:12: <Rainglove> Qojo, nobody really smiles a whole lot these days, but people don't seem to be doing too badly considering the circumstances. Nurel retains his nose, and he does catch at least one glimpse of a goblin among the larger races.
7923:50:38: <NachtRuine> Saavou stands, looking out down the road. He steps off the cart, the cape whooshing as he goes. He stares, perhaps pensively.
8023:50:43: <viejo> "Not a single smile... URGH." Qojo sulks.
8123:50:43: <Benedict> Nurel tips his head to the driver and waits for everyone else to get out first. Don't want to be stepped on. "Mule has food at pack, if he wishes to feed." Nurel sees a fellow goblin! Yes!
8223:50:56: <Goatwright> Waakanti exits the cart, arching his back and stretching his arms. Jesus, that shit was cramped.
8323:52:24: <viejo> Can I inspect the mule?
8423:52:33: <Hippocratesi> Gwyn wakes Huron and they both hop off of the cart. The white lion takes in his surroundings, a bit agitated at the new faces and such.
8523:52:48: <Rainglove> If it means that much to you
8623:53:08: <Dados> Viejo, this is knowledge, nature: 25 [1d20=19]
8723:53:08: <viejo> 1d20+6 this is knowledge, nature
8823:53:10: <Benedict> "If tribe would depart. He does not wish to be stepped on. Depart last."
8923:53:15: <Rainglove> Anyone who may have been close to the cart is suddenly much further at the appearance of the lion
9023:54:08: <Goatwright> Waakanti looks around at the inhabitants of the town, frowning. How many humans are there?
9123:54:25: <NachtRuine> Saavou turns to look at the lion for a moment, then returns to gazing into the crowds.
9223:54:34: <Hippocratesi> Gwyn shrugs and gives Huron a good pat on the head. That'll do. Are there any other elves around, GM?
9323:54:45: <Rainglove> they seem to be fairly well represented. Dwarves are an obvious majority, but there seem to be a roughly even mixing of the other common races. Elves and humans seem pretty equally represented.
9423:54:57: <viejo> give me a lowdown on this mule
9523:54:57: <Benedict> Nurel is the last to leave the cart, nodding to that other goblin if he spots him/her again.
9623:56:17: <Goatwright> Waakanti frowns deeper, turning to look back at his group. Ugh, this is some GROSS SHIT.
9723:56:21: <Rainglove> It's obviously seen hard times, but y'know, it survived the world going bang, so it's doing surprisingly well all things considered. Seems well fed, which makes sense since this thing is probably the driver's livelihood.
9823:56:58: <viejo> Qojo is inspecting the mule closely. "This is just a regular mule? Jee, how did you even manage to drag all their fat asses over here? Poor mule." Qojo pats the mule.
9923:57:08: <Rainglove> There are a few waves from the passing crowd, but nobody says anything. They seem to be there just to check out the weirdos. The door to the town hall awaits.
10023:57:41: <Hippocratesi> Gwyn returns the giant's look of disgust and then heads inside to meet this 'head dwarf'. Hopefully he's not some stupid drunk like the rest. What's it like inside?
10123:57:44: <NachtRuine> Saavou looks to Waakanti. Even without Saavou's face, he could probably tell that he shares the same sentiment. He approaches the town hall.
10223:57:57: <Goatwright> All this DISGUST.
10323:57:59: <Benedict> Nurel waves to the crowd, wondering how many think of him as nothing more than a savage. He then heads for the town hall, keeping up surprisingly well with the group.
10423:58:18: <Goatwright> Waakanti also heads into the town hall, ducking through the doorway.
10523:58:38: <viejo> Qojo struts off after the gang.
10623:59:32: <Rainglove> roll perform for strut power qojo
10723:59:48: <viejo> 1d20
10823:59:48: <Dados> Viejo, 1d20: 18 [1d20=18]
10923:59:54: <viejo> it's one of those games

1112014-08-23
112
11300:00:15: <Rainglove> the crowd breaks into applause as the doors close behind you
11400:02:37: <Rainglove> inside, everything is fairly quiet and the building is noticeably cooler than outside, the halls lit by what seem to be lamps blessed with light. There don't seem to be terribly many people here, just a few dwarves with a smattering of other races. One dwarf approaches you from further inside the building, extending a hand to shake as he approaches.
11500:03:07: <Benedict> Nurel does not trust dwarves extending hands.
11600:03:13: <Hippocratesi> Gwyn simply nods to the dwarf. No touching.
11700:03:42: <viejo> Qojo imagines the dwarf getting on top of stools of varying heights to shake everyone's hand. He sniggers.
11800:03:43: <Rainglove> "Pleasure to see you all made it, I was waiting for you. Name's Hart. I trust you had no trouble on the way in?"
11900:04:23: <NachtRuine> Saavou bends downwards to shake his hand once or twice. "No issues."
12000:04:55: <viejo> "We lived through the odd boring story or two. Through as many bandits as you like at me, just no more stories."
12100:05:01: <viejo> Throw* hurdur
12200:05:16: <Benedict> "Comfy cart. The cart..." Nurel struggles for the word, and so does hand signs to indicate the driver. "He was interesting."
12300:05:38: <viejo> "Interesting in a I-wish-I-was-anywhere-else-than-here kinda way? Yeah?"
12400:05:48: <Benedict> "Nurel like stories."
12500:05:50: <Goatwright> "It was long."
12600:05:58: <Hippocratesi> "Cramped."
12700:06:37: <NachtRuine> "No real issues, then." It sounds like he should've emphasized the word real.
12800:07:32: <Rainglove> "Outstanding." He looks around, taking the group in for the first time, the look on his face suggesting that he's looking at an investment rather than at people. He drops Saavou's hand. "So you already know about our uh, immediate issues?"
12900:08:18: <Benedict> "Bandits."
13000:08:29: <Hippocratesi> "We know of your bandits but I assume there is much more than that."
13100:08:42: <Goatwright> "There was mention of undead."
13200:09:19: <viejo> "Oh? Is it my turn? Bandits. Undead bandits. Undead pirate bandits."
13300:09:23: <NachtRuine> "I know enough."
13400:12:58: <Rainglove> "Close enough. They're somewhere in those mountains, can't have missed them on your way in. We uh, haven't been able to find out exactly where they are."
13500:13:59: <viejo> "Oh boy, a wild goose chase."
13600:14:04: <Rainglove> "They've been... a bit of a pain. We rely pretty heavily on getting trade through a pass in those mountains, s'actually something I was hoping we could get ahold of 'fore trade starts back up, but they're not making that easy."
13700:14:05: <viejo> "Bandit geese."
13800:14:49: <NachtRuine> "Do you suggest we find their base of operations."
13900:15:02: <NachtRuine> Saavou has trouble asking questions with a monotone voice.
14000:15:02: <Rainglove> "Y'don't need to go hunting them down, I don't think. We just need to get them out of that pass."
14100:15:22: <Rainglove> "If you want to, couldn't hurt. I don't imagine they'll leave just because you've pushed 'em back."
14200:16:20: <Goatwright> "So you'd prefer we kill them."
14300:16:32: <Goatwright> BLUNTNESS.
14400:16:47: <Hippocratesi> "It will be done. What do we get in return for this?"
14500:16:55: <viejo> "Have you seen us? They'll take one look and laugh their way out of this land."
14600:17:22: <Goatwright> "I am a proficient combatant."
14700:17:37: <NachtRuine> "I have ways of obtaining information from bandits. They value their life more than it's worth."
14800:17:41: <Goatwright> Waakanti frowns down at this LOUD ASS FUCKING MONKEY PRICK.
14900:18:19: <Rainglove> "Prefer, yes, but if that rubs you the wrong way then don't." The dwarf does his best to ignore the oddities of the group.
15000:19:26: <viejo> "Hey they're just people too yakno, no need to brutally murder them unless we have to."
15100:19:28: <Benedict> "Perhaps if tribe finds a scout, Nurel talks about camps."
15200:19:31: <Rainglove> "We just need the pass. Rest can come later, if it needs to. As for rewards... we don't have a whole lot, but we will. Like I said, I wanted that pass before trade started up again. People have to go through there to get to the north of the continent. If we get set up here, anybody and everybody's gonna be passing through."
15300:19:57: <viejo> "What do they steal?"
15400:20:03: <Rainglove> "So I guess I'm not giving you anything immediately, but it'll pay out eventually."
15500:21:08: <Benedict> "Nurel is satisfied with that. What tribes are beyond the pass and does he tribe," Nurel nods to the dwarf, referring to him and his town. "Hold a place for gunsmithing?"
15600:21:10: <Rainglove> "We've only lost a couple wagons to them, I'm not sending anyone through there while the mountains are like that. Out here, they usually just go for whatever people have on them. Food, gold, silks, anything and everything."
15700:21:55: <NachtRuine> "Then we shouldn't need bait. Our very presence should suffice."
15800:22:04: <viejo> "It's wrong of them but they're probably just tryna make a livin' yaknoo, don't like this "deal with them" aka "murder the shit out of them" tone. That's the last resort, man."
15900:22:16: <Goatwright> "Nothing immediately?" Waakanti doesn't like the sound of that noise, and straightens up a bit. "How would it pay out? Some of us have immediate needs."
16000:23:17: <Rainglove> "We don't know what's beyond the pass, really. We came down south, here, not to the north. We haven't been there since the bang. I'm guessing a bunch of small towns, same as we have down here. If we can help them in exchange for goods, all the better."
16100:23:38: <Hippocratesi> "Killing them is anything but a last resort. If they wish to make a living, there are other means than ruining someone else's life. They know what they are doing and they will pay for it."
16200:23:47: <Rainglove> He shrugs at Waakanti. "We can probably meet whatever 'needs' you have. Nothing excessive, but we're not terribly off."
16300:24:03: <viejo> "Nice meal for your pet, right?"
16400:24:26: <Hippocratesi> "If he chooses."
16500:24:28: <Goatwright> "I am not inclined to stay. I have my own goals."
16600:25:09: <Goatwright> "If there's nothing substantial to offer, then this does not contribute to them."
16700:25:21: <Rainglove> "Awful hard to offer you anything when you haven't said what you want."
16800:25:31: <viejo> "Nice to know you have morals. Oh boy."
16900:25:38: <Benedict> "Monkey, if Nurel can," He looks up to Qojo. "The bandit tribe hurts our tribe. Tribe either force other tribes to join them, or kill them. If Nurel can convince some to turn leaves, he will, but the bandit tribe will plan on this tribe death when tribe approach."
17000:26:04: <NachtRuine> "Barter begins with statement of desires, giant."
17100:26:27: <Goatwright> "Information. Money. Equipment. All will do."
17200:26:44: <Hippocratesi> "Hmmph." Gwyn shakes his head. No point arguing with the young and foolish.
17300:26:50: <Rainglove> Back at Nurel, sorry, this would've been said earlier. "We're lucky enough to have a smith, yeah. Don't think he's worked with guns, but he could probably learn. He's real good at what he does."
17400:27:02: <viejo> "From what I got of that, you're okay. But if you call me monkey one more time I'm going to start acting like one and flinging my shit all over the place."
17500:27:44: <Rainglove> "What kind of information? How much money? What equipment?" The dwarf doesn't seem angry, exactly, but doesn't seem particularly pleased about this.
17600:27:52: <Benedict> "Nurel lacks a name for he." Nurel then turns to the dwarf. "Nurel can make own guns. Only location is needed."
17700:29:25: <viejo> "Just call me Qojo little fella. You got a name buddy?"
17800:29:47: <Goatwright> "Information regarding the happening that tarnished your land. If nothing sufficient, then enough gold and equipment to take me further through these fields and mountains. At least until the next town."
17900:32:22: <Rainglove> "Just ask around if you want to know that, we have a couple mages. If you want to go after you help us, I'll see what I can get you."
18000:32:44: <Rainglove> "I don't think anyone knows what actually happened, but they've probably got a better idea than anyone else does."
18100:32:57: <Goatwright> Waakanti nods. "That will have to do."
18200:33:32: <Hippocratesi> "No one knows what caused this...apocalypse, I suppose you could call it?"
18300:34:01: <Goatwright> "I am unfamiliar with the word."
18400:34:38: <Rainglove> "Pleasure, your grace." The dwarf nods in a mocking half-bow. "Filthy wizard magic's what caused it." He looks like he's about to spit, but then remembers where he is. "Anything aside from that, you'll have to ask the mages themselves."
18500:35:39: <viejo> "'Your grace'? Oh, my, we're moving up in the world already! Soon we'll be kings of the world!"
18600:35:42: <NachtRuine> "Take us to them, if we're done here."
18700:35:47: <Goatwright> Waakanti's brow furrows somewhat, but takes the information for what it is.
18800:36:55: <Hippocratesi> "When will we be expected to go after these bandit savages?"
18900:38:48: <Rainglove> "Soon as works for you. Take a day or two to get situated if you plan on staying here, meet people. I did say shared leadership," He seems to regret this immensely. "And I meant it, soon as you're done helping me out. Sometime within the week would be ideal."
19000:38:59: <Rainglove> A sense motive roll would not be terribly out of place here.

20400:39:50: <viejo> gfucking
20500:39:51: <viejo> g
20600:39:51: <Goatwright> I swear to god
20700:43:46: <Rainglove> His favorite color is grey-blue. He may have been attracted to his cousin at some point. He is clearly in this because he wants power, and while you are going to help him achieve that goal, you are also in the way of it. You get a sense that he can move people when he wants to, probably how he got where he is.
20800:43:59: <Rainglove> A short, sturdy creature fond of drink and industry.
20900:44:27: <Benedict> Nurel was in another state of mind or something.
21000:44:27: <Rainglove> this is only nacht
21100:44:39: <Benedict> I know.
21200:45:44: <Rainglove> that's just viejo
21300:45:47: <Rainglove> goddamn I can't type
21400:46:40: <Rainglove> Saavou, you get the feeling he's untrustworthy, despite his apparent position of power. You
21500:46:40: <viejo> Qojo laughs. "Oh man, you types do try to hide it, don'tcha? 'Oh, my poor, poor town!' You just want this for your own gains, don't bullshit us."
21600:46:44: <Rainglove> erp
21700:46:51: <Rainglove> you'd best watch for any knives in the night.
21800:47:08: <Goatwright> Waakanti wonders what he's selling.
21900:47:21: <Hippocratesi> Gwyn just wants to axe his big head in.
22000:47:24: <Rainglove> 19:38	Rainglove	soap statues
22100:47:33: <Goatwright> Waakanti could use some soap.
22200:47:38: <Benedict> Nurel doesn't even know what is going. "Nurel is lost in forest."
22300:47:49: <Goatwright> It would help protect from disease. Very important.
22400:47:51: <NachtRuine> Saavou looks to Qojo in agreeance. "What do you stand to gain from this, dwarf?"
22500:48:07: <NachtRuine> "No one does something for nothing."
22600:48:09: <viejo> "I may joke and prance but I'm tellin' ya, this guy is bad news."
22700:48:17: <Goatwright> "I will take your soap on top of my reward for the bandits."
22800:48:22: <Goatwright> Waakanti nods.
22900:50:49: <Rainglove> /Now/ he looks downright displeased. "I've told you. This stands to be a primary trading area for the continent, once people are established. Until then we build up."
23000:51:35: <viejo> "Did you say 'we' or 'I'? I didn't quite hear ya."
23100:51:44: <NachtRuine> "You mishear. I do not ask what the town stands to gain. I ask what you stand to gain."
23200:51:51: <Rainglove> From the back there's a muffled cry of "Soap's in here!"
23300:52:06: <viejo> Garret get out of this rp god fucking damn it.
23400:52:18: <Benedict> "<Pointless to question motives now. If the dwarf becomes a problem later, he is dealt with later.>" Nurel complains to himself in goblin. At least no one here speaks goblin!
23500:52:37: <Goatwright> "Can I?" He points towards the source of the muffled cry.
23600:53:37: <Rainglove> The dwarf sighs exasperatedly and waves him that way. "Gold, and I get to run the trading hub of the world. Anything else?"
23700:53:53: <Goatwright> No soap for Waakanti. :[
23800:54:08: <Benedict> He just waved you to go grab it.
23900:54:08: <Rainglove> he waved him towards the soap goddamn
24000:54:27: <Goatwright> OH
24100:54:38: <Goatwright> I am a tired Goatwright.
24200:54:49: <Goatwright> Well, Waakanti goes off to collect his soap. Mm, yes. Soap.
24300:55:03: <viejo> "These are pretty hard times for this town to be ran by a gold-hungry little turnip, ain't it? Don'tcha think?"
24400:55:30: <Benedict> Nurel goes back to his kinda-broken Common. "When does tribe set out to pass? Tonight?"
24500:55:33: <Rainglove> A redheaded, incredibly well tanned half-elf serves him his soap for low low prices.
24600:56:20: <NachtRuine> Saavou stares at the dwarf. There's something else, but he just can't tell. "We have more important matters to attend to than ulterior motives. We must gather information from the mages, as per the contract."
24700:56:45: <Dados> Hippocratesi, Can I spy that fine specimen?: 11 [1d20=2]
24800:56:45: <Hippocratesi> 1d20+9 Can I spy that fine specimen?
24900:56:47: <Goatwright> Waakanti gives her a few copper pieces and takes his soap. "Is this of quality animal fat?"
25000:56:49: <Hippocratesi> no i can't
25100:57:06: <Goatwright> He is not affected by her tan or her tits.
25200:57:08: <Rainglove> Gwyn nearly trips over himself while standing still
25300:57:10: <Rainglove> impressive
25400:57:28: <Rainglove> The half elf totally notices while she waves Waakanti out
25500:57:58: <Benedict> Not a goblin. Nurel is not interested.
25600:58:02: <Goatwright> Waakanti grumbles and returns to the conversation, putting the soap away.
25700:58:49: <Hippocratesi> Gwyn feels embarrassment. He hasn't felt this in...a long time. He awkwardly looks around.
25800:59:06: <Goatwright> Does Waakanti notice his awkward recovery?
25900:59:13: <NachtRuine> Gwyn isn't even on Saavou's radar.
26000:59:48: <Rainglove> Qojo's description of the dwarf as a turnip is becoming more accurate by the moment. "Look, I'm in charge here, and I'm offering you part in building what I hope's gonna be huge in a few year's time. You want in or not?"
26101:00:08: <Goatwright> DOES HE, HIPPO?
26201:00:24: <Hippocratesi> if you want him to nigga
26301:00:32: <Hippocratesi> 1d20+3
26401:00:32: <Dados> Hippocratesi, 1d20+3: 13 [1d20=10]
26501:00:34: <Benedict> "Will he provide a place for Nurel's tribe, if Nurel finds and guides the tribe here?"
26601:00:57: <Goatwright> Waakanti slaps a piece of soap into Gwyn's hand. "You are forgiven."
26701:01:27: <Goatwright> He then turns around and looks down at the short pig-disgusting humanoid. "Should it not be they who offer you a part if you are incapable yourself?"
26801:01:32: <Rainglove> "If we can fit 'em. I suppose. What do they /do/?"
26901:02:04: <Hippocratesi> Gwyn gives Waakanti a look of utter confusion and stares at the soap in his hand. "...I'm not understanding. Is this a some backwards insult you Giants have?"
27001:02:16: <Benedict> "Nurel does not know. Goblins are good with firearms. Firing band for protection."
27101:02:17: <Hippocratesi> remove that a
27201:02:25: <Goatwright> "Soap is not an insult."
27301:02:31: <Goatwright> "It is soap."
27401:02:42: <Goatwright> Elves are fucking weird, man.
27501:03:14: <NachtRuine> "I am sure more hands are of use. We will clear off the path. Take us to the mages."
27601:04:07: <Hippocratesi> Gwyn blinks and simply shoves the soap in his bag. "Dwarf, I have a question similar to the...green thing's. May my clan find refuge here as well?"
27701:04:37: <Benedict> "Nurel is a goblin. Nurel is Nurel."
27801:04:42: <viejo> "The green thing? You never seen a goblin before? How fucking dumb are you?"
27901:05:17: <NachtRuine> This is the peanut gallery Saavou will have to associate with. He sighs quietly, and with implied impatience.
28001:06:02: <Benedict> Nurel understands you, Saavou. "Nurel would like to talk to mage tribe."
28101:06:11: <Hippocratesi> "You dare talk to ME in such a way, you disgusting MONKEY?" Gwyn turns to the Monk Monkey. "Learn your place, child. I don't have the patience for your kind."
28201:06:30: <viejo> "And you, ya lil' turnip you, we're here now so we may as damn well, for your people's sake, not yours. Maybe you can get your own priorities in the right place and have a heart sometime, huh?"
28301:06:30: <Benedict> This is Nurel's new family, it seems.
28401:06:55: <Benedict> Nurel tries to give a little pinch to Qojo so he quiets down.
28501:06:57: <Rainglove> Viejo your residual sense motive gives you the feeling that this dwarf is not happy about these savages moving in. "Maybe we can, we'll have to see. The mages are that way." He points outside. "It's been a pleasure."
28601:07:06: <Rainglove> potential savages
28701:07:37: <viejo> "Ouch! Jeez! Alright, buddy. You never did tell me ya name. Don't be shy, I'm alright. Kinda. Hehe."
28801:07:51: <Benedict> Nurel tries to remember what paladin did after a conversation was over. He thinks it was bowing. Has to be bowing. He bows his head to the dwarf and heads for the mages. "Nurel is Nurel, Qojo."
28901:08:14: <NachtRuine> Saavou turns in the direction he pointed and walks, his cape dramatically swooshing behind him.
29001:08:16: <NachtRuine> /swooosh/
29101:09:21: <Rainglove> 1d20 How swoosh is the swoosh
29201:09:21: <Dados> Rainglove, How swoosh is the swoosh: 16 [1d20=16]
29301:09:31: <Rainglove> Saavou is one suave motherfucker
29401:10:03: <Hippocratesi> Gwyn shakes his head in frustration. "Come, Huron." The two head off to wherever the mages are. God damn KIDS.
29501:10:11: <viejo> "You ain't so bad are ya? Man, people have such dumb ideas 'bout races as a whole. Put it there buddy." Qojo offers a hand.
29601:10:26: <Goatwright> Waakanti also heads off to the mages.
29701:10:27: <Benedict> Nurel does not understand this gesture.
29801:11:01: <viejo> Qojo nods towards his hand. "Hey don't leave me hangin'! You know what a handshake is, right?"
29901:11:04: <Rainglove> The dwarf turns and leaves, leaving those of you who have not left all alone in a suddenly less than friendly stone hall.
30001:11:17: <Benedict> "No."
30101:12:12: <viejo> "That's a real damn shame. Good thing ol' Qojo's here to teach ya. Just a greeting, yakno? You shake hands as a "hey buddy, how's it goin'" kinda thing."
30201:12:40: <NachtRuine> "Good to know we're getting along. Good, yes."
30301:13:22: <Benedict> Nurel understood some of those words. So he switches his musket to his other hand, grabs one of Qojo's finger, and shakes it like he was trying to put out a match.
30401:13:37: <Goatwright> qt
30501:13:56: <viejo> Qojo laughs, but more good heartedly than previously. "That'll do for now little fella. Let's go catch up!"
30601:14:17: <Benedict> Nurel thinks catching up means following. He does that.
30701:14:31: <Rainglove> You arrive at THE MAGE CAGE. It's an unassuming wooden building on the edge of the town, apparently fairly recently built. Even those of you who aren't magically attuned can feel arcane power oozing into the air around this building. Those of you who can cast, K Arcana.

31601:16:44: <Benedict> Nurel wishes he was engineering right now.
31701:18:23: <Rainglove> viejo I'll let you in this case since you apparently have no casters with K arcana
31801:20:27: <Rainglove> Qojo you know magic's been frowned upon (to say the least) since the world went bang. To have a building like this, with obviously untrained wizards inside of it doing magic they obviously know nothing about, is very, very odd.
31901:20:53: <viejo> "This is, er, a lil' fishy."
32001:20:57: <Rainglove> And they are obviously untrained. Well trained mages, divine or arcane, don't leave this much power floating around.
32101:21:35: <NachtRuine> "In what manner. The arcane, perhaps."
32201:21:41: <viejo> "Can't ya feel the magic in the air? Not even capable of a single spell and I can feel it. Wonder what's goin' on here. Real fishy."
32301:22:03: <Benedict> "Nurel feels wind."
32401:22:17: <NachtRuine> Inquisitor Orison: Detect Magic GO!
32501:22:20: <Goatwright> Waakanti DETECT MAGICS
32601:22:31: <Hippocratesi> Gwyn detects the magic
32701:22:33: <viejo> "Do they even know what they're doin'? Man. This is getting weirder by the minute."
32801:23:04: <Benedict> "A question to ask mage tribe."
32901:23:30: <viejo> "They even count as mages?"
33001:24:43: <Hippocratesi> "No use standing here gawking like deer. Let us confront them." Gwyn approaches the building's door.
33101:25:33: <viejo> Qojo rolls his eyes at the gold nonce.
33201:25:55: <Rainglove> Waakanti you ignorant shit you do recognize this kind of spill. This just sort of /happens/ around new mages, regardless of their school. Shit goes everywhere. They usually get it under control in a matter of months, never more than a year. Everyone else, there's lots of relatively weak magic going on in there. Even your relatively low-powered...
33301:25:57: <Rainglove> casting is stronger.
33401:26:41: <Goatwright> "They are not mages. They are pups."
33501:27:02: <Benedict> "Nurel does not like dogs."
33601:27:09: <Goatwright> "And they will grow into their robes, so to speak." Waakanti also approaches the door.
33701:27:18: <Goatwright> and wizard hats
33801:27:19: <Goatwright> :^)
33901:27:37: <viejo> "Hey, hey you know what'd be a great idea after the apocalypse? Untrained magic. Urgh." Qojo sighs.
34001:27:40: <NachtRuine> "Apprentices, then." Saav, with his not autism, knocks on the door.
34101:27:51: <Goatwright> thank god for non-autists
34201:28:18: <Rainglove> Qojo as the only one with K Arcana, you know that while only a few people were gestalted in the bang, a lot of people did have that magic root itself in them. Sorcerers, if you had to guess, the barbarians of the magic world.
34301:28:57: <viejo> Qojo conveys this to the group in some attempt to enlighten them, the dense fucks.
34401:29:01: <Benedict> Nurel waits for the door to open, and whispers to himself. "Nurel does not want dogs trying to bite he."
34501:29:24: <Goatwright> "Not true dogs, goblin." Waakanti rolls his eyes.
34601:29:28: <Goatwright> Goblins are so fucking DUMB.
34701:29:29: <Goatwright> GOD DAMN.
34801:29:40: <Rainglove> The door pops open, a thirty-something human peering out at Saavou. Compared to the spill around the house, his magic is well contained. He's at least been trained. He is taken aback by Saav's stone face, then recovers. "Yes?"
34901:29:53: <Benedict> "Nurel questions the bite of a fake dog."
35001:30:03: <NachtRuine> "We have questions."
35101:30:14: <Hippocratesi> "And we'd like answers."
35201:30:25: <viejo> "Hey, common ain't his first language, easy."
35301:30:31: <Dados> Benedict, Nurel looks for the dog ears, or dog tail. Dogs are scary.: 23 [1d20=15]
35401:30:31: <Benedict> 1d20+8 Nurel looks for the dog ears, or dog tail. Dogs are scary.
35501:30:42: <Goatwright> "And you assume it is mine?"
35601:31:01: <viejo> "Ain't as easy for some."
35701:31:04: <NachtRuine> "May we come in."
35801:32:04: <Rainglove> "If you must." The door opens the rest of the way as the man steps aside.
35901:32:41: <NachtRuine> Saavou enters. "Your hospitality is appreciated."
36001:33:11: <Rainglove> Nurel there are dogs in the town, feral things that pick at scraps. Nothing that looks like it could win a fight with a half-dead rabbit.
36101:33:37: <Goatwright> Waakanti also enters. BIG MAN MAGIC.
36201:33:41: <Goatwright> HE FLAUNTS HIS MAGIC MUSCLES.
36301:33:44: <Goatwright> MMMMMMMMMMMMAGIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIC.
36401:34:14: <Benedict> But no dogs in this building?
36501:34:17: <Rainglove> Roll spellcraft Waakanti
36601:34:18: <Rainglove> no
36701:34:19: <NachtRuine> The items on Saavou flex his magic muscles for him.
36801:34:38: <Hippocratesi> Gwyn makes his way in, Huron following him. The lion stays.
36901:34:47: <Benedict> Nurel feels safe and whispers to himself. "No dogs. No true or fake dogs."
37001:34:48: <Hippocratesi> With him.
37101:35:12: <Benedict> Nurel then goes on in.
37201:35:25: <Rainglove> You enter a common room in the building, several very sturdily build pieces of furniture lying around. In the back of the building the sounds of thumping objects and fizzling spells create a quiet blanket of white noise.

38201:38:23: <Rainglove> Saav glows with the golden light of the inquisition, the divine power making waves in the arcane backwash. Waakanti kinda makes the air jiggle.

38901:39:32: <Goatwright> clearly this is what Waakanti is thinking.
39001:41:08: <Rainglove> The mage is clearly put back by the shine. Now would again not be a bad time for sense motive, as well as K local should anyone have it. "Err... Destruction? Right. Someone with a lot of power tried doing something they didn't know how to do. Why?"

41701:46:30: <Rainglove> everyone else who isn't Nurel, you get the sense that this guy is much, much more put off by Saav than he let show. Like, "Holy shit please don't kill me" put off. Whether it's the divinity or the inquisition only qojo and Saav know it's because of the specific kind of magic he wields, rather than just because it's divine.
41801:46:53: <Benedict> Nurel is Nurel.
41901:47:10: <Goatwright> Waakanti wonders how his soap smells.
42001:47:22: <Rainglove> K local tells you that inquisitors might have played a role in the mass extinction old wizards experienced post-apocalypse
42101:47:29: <Rainglove> too low to get anything specific
42201:47:43: <Goatwright> Waakanti certainly would know nothing about that
42301:48:02: <viejo> "Huh, he really doesn't like you. Either of you two feel like telling us what the tension's about? I hope it's not sexual, yuck."
42401:49:09: <Benedict> "Qojo. Have he wondered about the sound of silence?"
42501:49:41: <NachtRuine> Saavou knows why the mage flinches. He removes his mask in an attempt to be friendly. "Do not fear, mage. I do not desire to harm you or your kind."
42601:49:54: <viejo> "Sound of silence? You gon' have to speak more clearly little fella, I don't get what ya mean."
42701:50:30: <Benedict> "It means he should try silence."
42801:50:42: <viejo> "Heeeyyyy it's not a mass of scars and teeth behind it. Man, this one guy I knew, urgh, there was a damn reason he wore it. A good reason."
42901:51:00: <NachtRuine> His voice is much more emotive now, with all the fluctuations of normal speech. Yet his face... It's that of a half-orc, but bleached and with heavily chipped teeth, an attempt to look more human.
43001:51:03: <Benedict> Why is Nurel stuck with an autistic monkey who comments on everything?
43101:51:24: <Rainglove> that's what he gets for being friendly
43201:51:53: <viejo> Qojo's the only one being nice to the little faggot.
43301:51:56: <Hippocratesi> A Half-Orc. Utter disgust appears on Gwyn's face.
43401:52:10: <Goatwright> Waakanti also appears put off.
43501:52:12: <viejo> "Although, your face is kinda, er, odd."
43601:52:25: <Benedict> Nurel is okay with the half-orc.
43701:53:32: <Rainglove> The mage is not comforted by the absence of the mask, though he seems less afraid of imminent death. "I've had some uh, less than pleasant experiences with some of you overly zealous divine types. Really though, what'd you want and how soon can you be not here?"
43801:55:22: <NachtRuine> Not fearful of death? Close enough. "Simply tell us what you know about the event and I'll be on my way." He places the mask again, and its effects come back. "I promise."
43901:56:25: <Goatwright> "The..." Waakanti nudges the elf for the word.
44001:56:35: <Hippocratesi> "Apocalypse."
44101:56:39: <Goatwright> "Thank you."
44201:58:47: <Rainglove> "We uh, don't really know. I'm trying to find out, but I'm a bit short-handed here and haven't been able to devote as much time as I'd like to finding out. Someone blew up to the south. I don't know what he was doing or why he was doing it, all I know is he left a pretty big hole where a city used to be."
44301:59:24: <Benedict> "What was name?"
44401:59:26: <viejo> "You got a looot of magic spilling about all around here."
44501:59:45: <viejo> "Can your guys even tie their own shoelaces?"
44601:59:46: <Goatwright> The south. Waakanti comes from the northwest. He nods, figuring he has come to the right place at the right time, and makes a mental note to head south.
44702:00:01: <Goatwright> "How south?"
44802:00:53: <NachtRuine> "We currently have other obligations, but could you use additional help."
44902:01:19: <Goatwright> "We could?"
45002:01:53: <Rainglove> "Well it's pretty easy to find, whole city went boom. I wouldn't go near there though, even if I were... like you lot. Whole place's cursed. Can't get within a mile of the place without getting swarmed by undead and crushed by wild magic." At Nurel, "Don't know who it was."
45102:02:12: <Benedict> "Not mage. City."
45202:02:42: <Benedict> Nurel makes a note that City and Tribe are probably interchangeable.
45302:02:42: <viejo> "A bunch of dysfunctional gestalts?" Qojo half-laughs half-sighs.
45402:02:53: <Rainglove> At Qojo, "They're intelligent enough in their own right. they're just untrained, and this isn't the most friendly environment to learn in. Took me a lot of arguing to get even this half-assed building set up."
45502:03:16: <Goatwright> Waakanti wonders about this wild magic, overshadowing his predisposition towards undead. Maybe he knows something about this.
45602:03:36: <Goatwright> "How trained are you, mage?"
45702:04:00: <viejo> "Yeah, alright, my bad. Can't be easy finding the necessary resources after the ol' kaboom. Your leader here is a piece of work, I'll tell you that."
45802:04:28: <Hippocratesi> "Who let one of those drunks become leader in the first place?"
45902:05:00: <Benedict> Nurel curses in his native tongue. Who cares about the dwarf? Not Nurel! He cares about this city.
46002:05:33: <Rainglove> He pulls himself up to his unimpressive full height. He's maybe six foot. "I'm a classically trained scholar of abjuration, trained in the esteemed college of Riverton. It's uh... it's a hole now."
46102:06:02: <Benedict> "Was Riverton city?"
46202:06:09: <viejo> "You ever heard of Oakbrook? Long shot, but yaknow."
46302:06:38: <Rainglove> "Afraid not. Geography was not my strong point."
46402:06:55: <Rainglove> "Riverton wasn't the city, but it was close. I was here, in the mountains, when things went up, so I was alright."
46502:07:11: <Benedict> "What was city?"
46602:07:44: <Goatwright> Waakanti makes it a point to remember to revisit this place at a more convenient time, preferably after his payment.
46702:08:23: <Rainglove> "The city was called Tratil, big old place, run by orcs if I remember right."
46802:08:28: <NachtRuine> As a mage of abjuration, he might notice a familiar spell on Saavou's cape. But that's neither here nor there. "Are there others to your knowledge who are researching the same ends?"
46902:08:28: <Hippocratesi> Gwyn wishes he wasn't wasting his time not helping his clan.
47002:08:35: <viejo> "Thought not. Eh. Whatever. Have you known the leader here for long? We're currently his lapdogs and he's sending us off to do his dirty work."
47102:10:20: <Rainglove> "A right piece of shit he is, and he knows what I think of him. Like I said, took me a month of arguing just to get this place set up. You want untrained magic time bombs running around? Because that's how you get 'em."
47202:11:15: <Goatwright> "Would you not struggle to teach if you specialize?"
47302:11:40: <Benedict> "Nurel is sorrow about conditions. If Nurel can aid, he will. Gold to increase conditions, maybe."
47402:11:54: <viejo> "Well, not sure how long we're around for, but he gives you any trouble come find us, or me, at least. Got a bad gut feelin' 'bout him early on. His further comments only proved it."
47502:11:56: <Rainglove> "There's nobody else, and abjuration's one of the more acceptable schools these days. Nice and safe, doesn't run any risk of blowing up the whole town." He scowls/
47602:12:40: <Goatwright> Waakanti returns the scowl, not one to be looked at funny. "I was simply asking."
47702:13:14: <viejo> From my sense motive check, did I get a feeling if this goi is gud or not?
47802:13:29: <Rainglove> He seems decent enough.
47902:13:39: <Rainglove> He was pissed about the situation, not at the oversensitive giant.
48002:13:42: <NachtRuine> "I believe we've gotten all we need. We must prepare for the job."
48102:13:49: <Goatwright> WELL FINE.
48202:13:52: <Goatwright> NEVERMIND.
48302:13:53: <Goatwright> GOD.
48402:14:05: <Goatwright> I THOUGHT HE WAS UPSET I WAS CALLING ABJURATION GAY
48502:14:15: <viejo> "Off we go then. You need us, just, just look for the freak show paradin' round town."
48602:14:17: <Rainglove> NIGGA HE'S IN THE SCHOOL OF NOT GIVING A FUCK
48702:14:37: <Rainglove> YOUR AIR JIGGLIN' ASS AIN'T GONNA DO SHIT TO BOTHER HIM
48802:14:46: <Goatwright> Y'KNOW WHA
48902:14:48: <Goatwright> WHAT EVEN
49002:14:51: <Benedict> Nurel is going to wait for the others to leave first. Nurel is planning nothing suspicious.
49102:14:55: <Goatwright> I BET I COULD TAKE NACHT IN A FIGHT
49202:15:03: <Rainglove> GET OUT OF THE IC GODDAMN
49302:15:13: <Goatwright> YOU STARTED IT.
49402:15:51: <Rainglove> The mage nods cautiously as people presumably start leaving.
49502:16:05: <Benedict> Except Nurel. Nurel has a QUESTION for that mage.
49602:16:26: <viejo> Can I roll K (geography) to get any info on the landscape?
49702:16:38: <Rainglove> Nurel would probably know that if anyone would speak as relatively unknown a language as goblin, it would probably be someone like this wizard
49802:16:51: <Goatwright> "Good luck with your pups. I remember such training. Many years of practice, but too few days of preparation. And one is never prepared for such an ugly world." Waakanti nods, then steps outside.
49902:16:52: <Rainglove> Sure, just tell me what landscape you want to know about
50002:17:00: <viejo> The one they're in currently?
50102:17:14: <Rainglove> roll away
50202:17:21: <Dados> Viejo, worth a shot YAKNOW: 22 [1d20=16]
50302:17:21: <viejo> 1d20+6 worth a shot YAKNOW
50402:17:36: <NachtRuine> "I'm sure you'll get more use out of someone other than me. I'm not exactly knowledged in the general arcane. Not that you'd want me, anyway." He chuckles in monotone as he begins to leave.
50502:17:59: <Benedict> Nurel looks up to the mage, holding up a hand, opening and closing to indicate talking. "Goblin?"
50602:18:22: <Rainglove> The mage seems surprised, then nods. "Some."
50702:19:03: <viejo> "That chuckle's real damn creepy, just tellin' ya. Doesn't help with the whole mask thing. Bit weird, yaknow?"
50802:19:09: <Benedict> Nurel goes for the more comfortable tongue. "<Do you know the locations of any goblin tribes in the area? I'm not sure of your opinion on my people, but I would like to help as many of mine as I can, just as you want to help yours.>"
50902:19:31: <Rainglove> The dwarf is indeed right about this being a location central to the continent, and to trade. The northern and southern halves of the continents are almost entirely separated by a mountain ridge that is too treacherous to cross in most places, and entirely impassible in the winter. The area that you're in specifically is a plain to the south...
51002:20:06: <Rainglove> which sits near the mouth of that pass the dwarf wouldn't shut up about. He may be an ass, but he knows where to build.
51102:20:33: <viejo> Qojo conveys said information to anyone it'd interest.
51202:23:05: <Rainglove> The mage thinks for a minute, clearly not having spoken goblin in a very, very long time. "<Not many goblins left, dwarf doesn't like...>" He searches for a non-offensive word and fails to find one. "<Savages. Drives them out. Afraid they kill traders.>"
51302:23:34: <Rainglove> His distaste towards the dwarf is apparent during the second sentence
51402:25:22: <Benedict> "<You're not going to offend me, I know we're seen as savage, and I know how much dwarves and goblins hate each other. Has this dwarf specifically been looking for and killing my people? Why would he bring me here and give the okay to allow goblins?>"
51502:25:45: <NachtRuine> Saav stands in the back, waiting for his compatriots to get the information they themselves need.
51602:26:19: <viejo> Qojo reads a book while he waits. After all, knowledge is power. And power, power is the right to say FUCK YOU MOOOM
51702:30:54: <Rainglove> "<Not... hunting. When he finds them, he makes them go. You are... special. Even if savage. As are those.>" He waves towards the door the others exited. "<He will not like you, but for now he will not attack you.>"
51802:32:24: <Benedict> "<Of course. Perhaps he will try to chase me off when I'm no longer useful. Increase his position of power. If you learn the location of a goblin tribe, I would appreciate the information. I want to save as many of mine as I can. And..."> Nurel digs into his gold pouch and gives the mage a few coins. 23 gold in total. "<I am unsure of how much this will help.
51902:32:30: <Goatwright> Waakanti sits down along the wall of the building, waiting around.
52002:32:40: <Benedict> but if it can help you, take it. That is all I needed.>" Nurel nods to the mage and heads out.
52102:33:16: <Rainglove> "<Be safe.>" The mage pockets the gold as Nurel leaves.
52202:34:25: <NachtRuine> 1d20+4 sleight of hand
52302:34:25: <Dados> NachtRuine, sleight of hand: 23 [1d20=19]
52402:34:26: <Rainglove> Everyone is once more together
52502:34:35: <Rainglove> jesus
52602:34:59: <NachtRuine> Hopefully no one notices Saav placing 10 gold on a table nearby.
52702:35:57: <Benedict> "Nurel achieved needs." Nurel says to anyone outside the mage house.
52802:36:12: <Rainglove> Mages don't see shit
52902:36:14: <viejo> "Good on ya bud. Are we headin' off then?"
53002:36:23: <viejo> Qojo looks up from his books.
53102:36:31: <Goatwright> "Were we not told to wait days or two?"
53202:36:37: <NachtRuine> "We must prepare."
53302:37:04: <Benedict> "Dwarf speaks leaving as tribe wishes. Time is ours."
53402:37:11: <viejo> "Were we? Eh, I mustn't have paid attention, there was a lot of bullshit to get through."
53502:38:05: <Goatwright> Waakanti looks off at the path. How far away is it?
53602:38:22: <Rainglove> which path?
53702:38:26: <Goatwright> The mountain path.
53802:38:29: <Goatwright> pass
53902:38:30: <Goatwright> w/e
54002:39:35: <NachtRuine> "I am personally ready. If you must all prepare, then I shall wait."
54102:39:52: <Rainglove> Not terribly. The town is maybe a mile off from the base of the mountains
54202:40:00: <Goatwright> Oh, alright then.
54302:40:05: <viejo> "No reason to wait on my end, may as well get it done. I get the feeling it won't be over once these bandits are dealt with."
54402:40:16: <Goatwright> "I am ready as will be."
54502:40:54: <viejo> "Before we set off it might be, er, good if we know each other's names. Basic knowledge about who you're dealing with, yaknow."
54602:41:31: <Benedict> Nurel makes sure he has his ammo on him. Yep. He's good. "Nurel prepares." He then waits.
54702:42:27: <NachtRuine> "I am Acolyte Saavou Dresel the Vengeful, Shepherd of Law." Since they're on good terms, he gives them the short version.
54802:43:28: <Benedict> If these people don't know Nurel's name by now, there is no hope for them.
54902:43:36: <viejo> "... Yeah, that REALLY doesn't help with the whole creepy thing ya got goin'. I'm Qojo."
55002:43:39: <viejo> "Just, Qojo."
55102:44:49: <Hippocratesi> "I am Gwyn, of the Au. And this-" He gestures towards the white lion. "is Húron."
55202:45:58: <NachtRuine> "My apologies if I unsettle you, Qojo. Comes with the job." Despite the monotone, one could conceivably tell it was meant to be a joke. A bad one, but one at that.
55302:46:15: <Benedict> "...Nurel is Nurel."
55402:46:37: <Goatwright> Waakanti looks at them all.
55502:46:40: <Goatwright> He just.
55602:46:41: <Goatwright> Looks at them.
55702:47:08: <viejo> "It's alright, we've got this little fella here to balance it out." Qojo almost goes to ruffle Nurel's hair/hat. Almost.
55802:47:18: <Goatwright> wow what a prick
55902:47:39: <Benedict> Nurel frowns at Qojo. "Nurel is not dog for laps."
56002:47:50: <NachtRuine> "Giant. Your name."
56102:49:48: <Goatwright> "My name is my own. If we free this pass of men and receive what is owed, then I believe my name will not matter as I depart."
56202:49:56: <Goatwright> "For now you may call me as you wish."
56302:50:09: <Benedict> "Rude."
56402:50:24: <Hippocratesi> "I'd do that regardless, Giant."
56502:50:49: <viejo> "Oh, this is going to be fun. -Anything-?" Qojo grins.
56602:51:35: <NachtRuine> "You must forgive my calling you Giant. It's the first thing that comes to mind."
56702:51:37: <Benedict> "Nurel wishes to flank pass."
56802:52:04: <Goatwright> "It is what I am, though I am less grand than I once was." Waakanti frowns.
56902:53:50: <Goatwright> "I will not apologize for lack of formality, however. We believe community is a luxury reserved for trust, and time is little for such a luxury. Our time together will be short, as will this problem."
57002:54:19: <Benedict> "Nurel thinks time is good."
57102:54:22: <viejo> "Jee Mr. Sincere. You ever smiled before? Ah forget it. Let's be off."
57202:54:32: <Goatwright> "Once," he responds.
57302:54:36: <Goatwright> And then he starts off.
57402:54:37: <Goatwright> ;_;
57502:54:50: <NachtRuine> "Well spoken, fellow fallen." He turns and faces the path. "We must address our plan. If we require one."
57602:55:03: <viejo> "That's one more time than I would've guessed at." Qojo mutters.
57702:55:23: <Hippocratesi> "We don't know their numbers, do we? It'd be wise to scout first."
57802:55:54: <Goatwright> "Such discussions can be made as we move."
57902:55:54: <Rainglove> Somewhere from the ether waakanti's instructor yells the giant equivalent of "YEW FOKKIN WOT M8?" at qojo
58002:55:58: <Rainglove> of course, nobody hears this
58102:56:17: <Benedict> "Qojo wishes to see bandit tribe turn leaves. Bandits make scouts? Recruit? I can also scout. Small. Good hide. He does not want to slaughter all of tribe."
58202:56:22: <Goatwright> Goddammit.
58302:56:58: <viejo> "If someone with a soft touch to their foot is what you need, then look no further."
58402:57:05: <NachtRuine> "Reform is an option."
58502:57:14: <viejo> "How 'bout we go have a lil' look-see?
58602:57:34: <Benedict> "Can. When tribe arrives. Reform is good option."
58702:58:27: <Benedict> "Bandits can garden. Scouts. Pass guards. If necessary, threaten with return if they fall off pass."
58802:59:11: <Hippocratesi> "Or they can face punishment like the thugs they are."
58902:59:37: <Hippocratesi> "I see no point in using diplomacy against brigands."
59002:59:42: <NachtRuine> "Punishment is a part of reform."
59103:00:18: <Benedict> "What does he plan to punishment with?"
59203:00:37: <Benedict> MAN, LOOK AT THAT PASS, WE ARRIVED SO QUICKLY.
59303:00:52: <NachtRuine> "Pain. Or perhaps prison. Possibly both."
59403:01:03: <Goatwright> "They have not granted such graces to those who were robbed, surely. I do not believe they deserve such forgiveness."
59503:01:29: <Benedict> "No pain. Prison. Pain return thought of bandit tribe."
59603:01:37: <viejo> SUDDENLY the group all seemed content with a conclusion they all agree to and they head on over.
59703:01:53: <Rainglove> You have arrived at the pass not once, but twice
59803:02:02: <Benedict> So, Mr. Rainglove, can you tell us about this here pass and how we can sneak?
59903:02:02: <Rainglove> perhaps you should consult the wizard on this when you return
60003:02:07: <Rainglove> INDEED
60103:02:14: <viejo> rollyrolly sneaky sneaky?
60203:02:15: <Goatwright> "Thievery for we meant [the flog]", he pantomimes repeated lashing against his back. "It instilled much restraint."

62903:09:44: <Rainglove> BACK NOW
63003:11:07: <Rainglove> The mountain walls aren't sheer, there's definitely a way up with a bit of work, which shouldn't be much trouble for you fighter types. Walking down the middle would be suicide if there are any archers anywhere among the mountains.
63103:11:45: <Goatwright> WAAKANTI WAS BUILD FOR ROCKS, WALLS, AND CLIMBING THEM.
63203:12:02: <Rainglove> Those 24-s and that 26 can pick out some ideal spots for ambushing if you can pull one off.
63303:12:41: <Benedict> Nurel points out good ambush locations for everyone.

63903:13:39: <viejo> "Hey, good spotting bud."
64003:13:49: <Benedict> "Again, give tribe reform chance. Tribes deserve second chances?" Nurel tries to climb a mountain with his little goblin limbs.

64203:13:51: <Benedict> 1d20+3

65203:15:22: <Goatwright> Waakanti furls his brow, wondering why it might be as such.
65303:15:24: <Rainglove> everyone flies up the mountain, except saav, who falls on his sorry ass
65403:15:28: <Goatwright> Might he roll DA GEOGRAPHY?
65503:15:56: <Rainglove> IT WAS A SEX JOKE
65603:15:56: <viejo> Oh, I have a climbing speed of 30ft
65703:15:57: <viejo> kek
65803:16:04: <Benedict> Nurel offers a useless hand to help Saav up if he wants to try again.
65903:16:04: <viejo> ZOOM
66003:16:07: <Benedict> Stupid goblin.
66103:16:26: <viejo> Qojo zooms back down the wall. "You, er, going to be able to make it up alright?"
66203:16:38: <NachtRuine> Saav is willing to try again.

66603:16:58: <Rainglove> WOOSH
66703:17:11: <Benedict> Nurel probably helped, yeah. He's good like that.
66803:17:18: <Goatwright> OH.
66903:17:19: <viejo> Nurel threw him up.
67003:17:22: <Goatwright> I SEE.
67103:17:24: <Goatwright> SORRY.
67203:17:42: <Benedict> Let's get to those ambush locations and look at some bandits!
67303:17:49: <Goatwright> Since he got dat gud Perception roll, Waakanti finds a good place to send up that ambush.
67403:17:51: <viejo> Qojo scuttles up the wall.
67503:17:57: <Goatwright> He waves the others over.
67603:18:06: <viejo> Are we rolling stealth?
67703:18:15: <Rainglove> survival, anybody who's got it
67803:18:17: <NachtRuine> "The help is appreciated, compatriot." Saav also looks for an ambush spot. This is not his usual tactic, but it will do.

69103:20:46: <viejo> I'll let you be the one to find it out of pity. :^)
69203:21:10: <Rainglove> Hippo continues to occupy the void. Waakanti the spirits of your ancestors are with you, and you identify the direction the bandit camp most likely lies in, should you wish to head that way. You also identify the tracks of what seems to be a recent patrol, apparently alone. Seven, eight people.
69303:21:32: <Hippocratesi> 1d20+1 aight
69403:21:32: <Dados> Hippocratesi, aight: 3 [1d20=2]

69803:22:02: <Goatwright> 1?
69903:22:08: <Goatwright> or
70003:23:01: <Goatwright> What direction was the patrol headed?
70103:24:05: <Rainglove> Deeper into the mountains, along the pass. From what you can guess, they're probably looking for travelers whose loads they wish to lighten
70203:24:50: <Benedict> What rude bandits.
70303:25:10: <viejo> can we go somewhere
70403:25:23: <Goatwright> Waakanti holds up eight fingers, then points further down the path.
70503:26:25: <Benedict> Nurel guesses he means move towards that direction. Nurel will do so.
70603:26:39: <Goatwright> As does Waakanti!
70703:26:52: <NachtRuine> As does Saavou!
70803:27:07: <Rainglove> AWAAAAAY
70903:27:17: <Hippocratesi> Yea
71003:27:40: <viejo> Qojo follows.
71103:29:09: <Rainglove> After several tense moments of walking calmly along the mountain, the bandits come into view as you come over the crest of a particularly large ledge. They haven't noticed any of you yet from what you can tell, and they're about a hundred feet ahead of you.
71203:29:26: <viejo> Roll perception to see what they're up to?
71303:29:35: <Rainglove> they're walking
71403:29:42: <Rainglove> talking
71503:29:57: <Benedict> Nurel has large ears. Perception to hear what they're saying?

72003:30:36: <Goatwright> Are there any Large sized rocks nearby?
72103:30:50: <Rainglove> well
72203:30:53: <Rainglove> there are the mountains
72303:30:56: <Rainglove> think you can lift those?
72403:30:59: <Rainglove> yes there are rocks
72503:31:08: <viejo> 1d20+11 just going to roll my stealth already
72603:31:08: <Dados> Viejo, just going to roll my stealth already: 27 [1d20=16]
72703:31:16: <NachtRuine> "Our plan. I have an idea, but it places me in danger. I can draw their attention, then frighten them. Then you all come out and present the ultimatum of surrender."
72803:31:19: <Rainglove> INTO THE SHADOWS
72903:31:31: <Benedict> I just wonder what those jerks are saying.
73003:32:04: <Rainglove> Do you speak dwarf?
73103:32:10: <viejo> "Sounds kinda dumb to me, but I guess you know what your abilities are." Says an annoying voice from somewhere in the depths.
73203:32:14: <Benedict> Do I suck dick? The answer is no.
73303:32:22: <Rainglove> You hear dwarf.
73403:32:29: <Goatwright> "Hang on," Waakanti whispers.
73503:32:39: <Benedict> "The tribe speaks drunk."

73903:33:00: <Goatwright> what
74003:33:00: <Rainglove> who the shit are you sensing motive on
74103:33:07: <Benedict> "Yes. Dwarf tribe."
74203:33:09: <viejo> goat, but I'm most joking about
74303:33:11: <NachtRuine> "They are drunk? This will be easier than I need it to be."
74403:33:14: <Goatwright> he's getting a fucking rock
74503:33:16: <Goatwright> as you see
74603:33:34: <Rainglove> he appears to be attempting to propose to you
74703:33:37: <Rainglove> in the way of his people
74803:33:38: <Goatwright> He heads over to the largest Large rock he can carry and hoists it up over his head, then lets out a deep breath, lowers back down to a crouch, and wanders back over towards the ledge.
74903:33:53: <Rainglove> unfortunately the rocks his people use for wedding rings are much larger than can be used by normally sized folk
75003:33:55: <Benedict> "No, the tongue seem clear. The tribe speak drunk. Dwarf tongue."
75103:33:57: <Goatwright> He gives them all a nod, his arms straining just a fair bit.
75203:34:11: <Rainglove> you become
75303:34:12: <Goatwright> "Go. I will be ultimatum."
75403:34:13: <Rainglove> incredibly obvious
75503:34:15: <Rainglove> with this giant rock
75603:34:26: <Goatwright> OKAY FINE NOT AT THE LEDGE YET THEN.
75703:34:29: <Benedict> It'll be funny when Goat rolls a 1 on attack.
75803:34:42: <viejo> "We're not even giving them an option? Just, brutal murder?" Qojo says in a hushed tone.
75903:34:52: <NachtRuine> "Right." He looks to the giant. "Threatening. Good. Not subtle, but threatening. I shall go unless others have objections."
76003:35:14: <Goatwright> "I am secondary option. A bargaining tool."
76103:35:27: <Goatwright> He gives Qojo his best reassuring neck-straining nod.
76203:35:35: <Benedict> "Nurel would prefer to keep close, in case the bandit tribe decides to harm you." To that end, Nurel looks for shadows that will keep him close to the half-orc.
76303:35:39: <Dados> Benedict, STEALTH: 24 [1d20=12]
76403:35:39: <Benedict> 1d20+12 STEALTH

76603:35:59: <Goatwright> "I will wait back. Call up when you are ready for the display or a throw."
76703:36:00: <viejo> Qojo skulks along in the shadows
76803:36:29: <NachtRuine> "Then I go." He removes his mask and places it into a pouch. "The signal is a whistle." He slides down and makes himself look as innocent as possible.
76903:36:58: <Benedict> Nurel follows close by, he has healing spells ready for the half-orc.
77003:37:21: <viejo> Qojo has hopefully found a good spot to jump in incase things go sour.
77103:37:43: <Rainglove> roll climb to see how graceful your decent is Saav
77203:37:47: <NachtRuine> "May Cath'paz shine down upon me..."

77503:39:13: <Benedict> "Nurel needs to invest in climbing rope for him." The goblin whispers.
77603:39:18: <Rainglove> Saav manages to slide down part way, then has an oopsie partway down and tumbles a few feet
77703:39:31: <Rainglove> he swooshes to the bottom, but manages to land on his feet
77803:39:38: <Rainglove> if you want to roll acrobatics or perform or something
77903:39:42: <Rainglove> that /may/ improve your landing

78703:40:15: <viejo> turns the stumble into a triple front flip
78803:40:20: <viejo> the judges all score 10

79003:40:32: <NachtRuine> fucking ukraine
79103:41:11: <Goatwright> The dwarves jump up from their camp and applaud.,
79203:41:30: <Rainglove> Saav ninja-slides down the mountain after his stumble, throwing up the most epic tail of dust that has ever been created. He arrives at the bottom, wrapped in a cloud of dust, silhouetted against it by the sunlight
79303:41:54: <Rainglove> The bandits have noticed his glorious display
79403:42:00: <Benedict> "He is impress." Nurel is impressed. Whisper whisper.
79503:42:23: <Rainglove> +5 to whatever your next roll is, provided it involves that cloud
79603:43:09: <NachtRuine> "Enemies of the law! You have a chance to redeem yourselves! Surrender now or face divine justice!" With swift movements, he disperses the cloud with an amazing, and Dazzling Display!

80003:43:30: <Rainglove> jesus
80103:45:05: <Rainglove> The bandits fucking piss themselves and fall down the mountain
80203:45:18: <Rainglove> cries of "Holy SHIT" echo through the mountains
80303:46:06: <Rainglove> They haven't surrendered yet
80403:46:12: <Rainglove> but they are flat-footed as fuck
80503:46:18: <Goatwright> "...hm."
80603:46:30: <Goatwright> Waakanti waits for DA WHISTLE, regardless.
80703:47:02: <Rainglove> As the bandits tumble to the bottom, several of them throw down their swords and run the fuck away, not even looking back
80803:47:25: <Rainglove> You're left with five guys, two of whom have misplaced their weapons in their descent, three of whom look nervous as hell
80903:47:26: <Benedict> Are they running for their camp to tell the story of the acrobatic man of God?
81003:47:50: <NachtRuine> Saav quenches the thirst of Waakanti by whistling. "No one move! This is an order!"
81103:48:04: <Rainglove> The divine light of the inquisition is once again in effect
81203:48:36: <Goatwright> Waakanti stands upright, holding the massive boulder high over his head as he lumbers over to the edge of the cliff.
81303:49:09: <Goatwright> He proceeds to let out a mighty, Giant yell, and holds his position, waiting for Saav to continue.
81403:49:35: <Rainglove> Suddenly there are only three guys, with two very disconcerted men trying and failing to run away.
81503:49:46: <Rainglove> they may be a bit disoriented
81603:50:32: <Goatwright> rad
81703:51:26: <NachtRuine> Saav picks one of the men. "You! I forbid you to move from your spot!" Forbid Action, Go! DC 15, roll Will to negate!
81803:51:41: <Benedict> Nurel sneaks in closer.
81903:52:10: <Dados> Rainglove, HNGH: 7 [1d20=4]
82003:52:10: <Rainglove> 1d20+3 HNGH
82103:52:20: <Rainglove> The man freezes in place
82203:52:37: <Hippocratesi> Gwyn can't help but admit he's rather impressed.
82303:53:44: <NachtRuine> Saavou approaches not with a walk, his cape slowly billowing.
82403:53:50: <NachtRuine> remove that not
82503:55:15: <Goatwright> GOD HAVE HIM SAY SHIT.
82603:55:18: <Goatwright> LET'S GET THIS STUFF ROLLING.
82703:55:23: <Rainglove> Saav's art style suddenly becomes much less western. There are still two bandits in addition to Saav's frozen one.
82803:55:33: <Goatwright> LIKE MY ROCK.
82903:55:46: <Rainglove> They look very much like they wish they had run away, but the wrath of god is a bit close now.
83003:55:58: <NachtRuine> "You are going to tell me everything you know. All of you. It will make things much less painful to speak now. And don't lie. I can tell a lie."
83103:56:06: <NachtRuine> "Question 1: Where is your camp?"
83203:57:25: <Rainglove> One of the two non-frozen bandits just points. The other shoots him the dirtiest look in the world. The frozen bandit continues to be unable to move.
83303:57:37: <Goatwright> Can Waakanti hear the conversation at all aside from murmurs, or is he too far up?
83403:57:45: <Rainglove> We'll say he can hear fine
83503:57:50: <Goatwright> Rad.
83603:58:47: <NachtRuine> "Good. Question 2: Who do you report to?"
83703:59:16: <NachtRuine> "Remember I'm not the only one here." He points to the giant holding a giant boulder.
83804:00:02: <Rainglove> "R-Rotter." The same bandit who pointed speaks up.
83904:00:15: <Goatwright> "AND I CAN SMELL YOUR DWARVEN BLOOD PULSING THROUGH YOUR VEINS!" he shouts in response to the point.
84004:00:22: <Goatwright> He knows well the stereotypes of his people.
84104:01:11: <NachtRuine> "Once again, good. Last question: What does he /fear/?" His expression almost crooks into a smile.
84204:02:34: <Rainglove> "I- What?"
84304:03:24: <NachtRuine> "Did I stutter? What. Does. He. Fear? What is he most scared of?"
84404:04:41: <Rainglove> "I don't know, I don't talk to him! He stays in the camp, we just p-patrol..."
84504:06:38: <NachtRuine> He grunts. "Fair enough. Here's what gonna happen." He dispels the forbidden action. "The one who talked and the one who froze gets to turn themselves in. You." He points to the one who didn't blab. "You are going to take us to Rotter. And you are going to help me explain that whatever he fears, he fears that less than me. Got it?"
84604:08:09: <Rainglove> The man stares at Saav, sizing him up, then sighs and nods. "You'd best be real persuasive if you want him to listen."
84704:08:16: <Rainglove> the other two run the fuck away
84804:09:27: <NachtRuine> Hopefully to turn themselves in, otherwise Saav might hunt them down. "Where are your friends?" He mocks looking around. "Oh. Guess I'm real persuasive, then."
84904:11:59: <Goatwright> Waakanti does his best to gently roll the boulder down the edge of the cliff without crushing anybody, then descends after it and down to Saav.

86521:01:45: <viejo> Qojo wants to avenge the jews.
86621:01:48: <NachtRuine> Saav wants to CONQUER CHAOS
86721:01:49: <viejo> DOWN WITH HITLER
86821:03:06: <NachtRuine> Saav is curious about the religious state of the city. Do they worship a god? Which god?
86921:03:19: <Rainglove> roll K religion m8
87021:03:24: <Benedict> "Nurel check mule." Nurel says to the group as he realizes, oh no, he doesn't have all of his ammo on him. He's missing two cartridges! Gasp! He needs to get to his mule which is around here, because fuck you, Rain.

You saw a sort of town center on your way in, looked like a marketplace. Odds are if you people who want to be kings tried talking to people you'd find plenty of shit going on.
87621:05:16: <Rainglove> Nurel fins his mule
87721:05:27: <Rainglove> suddenly nurel is shark, apparently
87821:05:43: <Rainglove> finds*

88321:06:16: <NachtRuine> "We should go to the center. If we are to be here, we must know the happenings of the city."
88421:06:52: <Benedict> "<Wise Woman. Did you take my ammo?>" Nurel talks to his mule as the mule does mule things, searching the many bags the mule is forced to carry for two cartridges. Two simple cartridges.
88521:07:52: <Hippocratesi> "Reasonable enough." Gwyn heads off towards the center of town, where the town center is.

88821:08:33: <NachtRuine> Saav follows, looking around as he walks.
88921:08:34: <Rainglove> Saav, you know a little about the religion of the dwarves who lived near here before, which is presumably the dominant religion of the area. They worshiped a pantheon with the majority following an earth god, something to do with caves. A smaller subset followed a merchant god, who you know nothing about.
89021:10:07: <Rainglove> The town is hustly and bustly around you. People are going about their business. Some of them stop to watch you as you pass, but the lion, the creepy goddamn stone face, and the kawaii goblin all combine to give everyone at least one reason to stay away
89121:10:45: <Rainglove> monkeyman's autism is /almost/ strong enough to be felt from ten feet away, but not quite
89221:11:18: <Benedict> Nurel eventually finds his two ammo, lightly flicking the mule in the side. "<Don't steal my ammo, Wise Woman. You're a mule. You cannot even use a gun.>" With that, Nurel joins the others in the center of town once he spots them. Are there any... ENGINEERING things in this town?
89321:11:50: <Hippocratesi> Is there anything for an extreme racist of the elven kind in the town center?
89421:11:55: <NachtRuine> 1d20+10 listening for the words of the public
89521:11:56: <Dados> NachtRuine, listening for the words of the public: 24 [1d20=14]
89621:12:41: <viejo> Only ten feet? His Autistic Aura is weakening!
89721:14:15: <Benedict> "He finds ammo." Nurel says with a small amount of pride, holding up the cartridges.
89821:14:57: <Rainglove> Nothing terribly new Nurel, but there's some stuff being built. Walls are being built, very slowly, with pre-fabbed ballistae being lifted onto them by a series of pulleys and some serious counterweights
89921:15:21: <viejo> "All by yourself? Jee, mayor of this place has got some strong competition."
90021:16:16: <Rainglove> Saav, There is an awful lot of shit being said. There's the obvious occasional discussion about the bandits, the price of food, someone whining about the mages being allowed to be where they are, a couple people commenting on aforementioned walls, someone seems to have gotten the clap recently...
90121:16:45: <Rainglove> Gwyn, they are unfortunately not stoning humans in the town square
90221:16:50: <Hippocratesi> shit
90321:17:03: <Benedict> Could those pulleys and such be improved in any way to make building the walls faster and/or easier?
90421:17:11: <Rainglove> roll engineering
90521:17:18: <Benedict> 1d20+4 Time to get a 1
90621:17:18: <Dados> Benedict, Time to get a 1: 20 [1d20=16]
90721:17:47: <viejo> Qojo goes off to ask some dirty commoner peasant if there is anything interesting going on in town or nearby. ANYTHING.
90821:18:04: <Hippocratesi> Well, are there any animals around?
90921:18:58: <NachtRuine> Saav shakes his head a little to stop listening to all the inanities of peasant life. Although he is somewhat curious about the food prices. Not enough to investigate. Yet. He approaches the marketplace to browse the goods within.
91021:19:33: <Rainglove> The system they're using is unfamiliar to you, but you have a pretty good guess at some ways to make it less terrifyingly wobbly and lift with less weight
91121:20:49: <Benedict> Nurel is going to live here for awhile, might as well help them in some way. He coughs at his party members, holds up a hand, and spins circles on the palm with a finger. Does he want paper and a pen? "Have? Need draw something."
91221:21:17: <Rainglove> Saav, there's not a whole lot to browse. You'd guess industry hasn't really had time to start up, so outside of blacksmithing, clothing, carpentry, and food, there's not much for display
91321:21:58: <Rainglove> Most magic items are less than commonly available, but you'd guess there's someone at that mage's area that can get you items of that variety
91421:23:00: <NachtRuine> He doesn't have much use for any of this, and he's already decked out in enchanted items. He looks to Nurel, attempting to decipher his intentions.
91521:23:34: <Benedict> Nurel continues to "draw" on his hand. "Nurel need..." He thinks of the word. Think, think...
91621:23:37: <Dados> Benedict, 1d20: 19 [1d20=19]
91721:23:37: <Benedict> 1d20
91821:23:45: <Benedict> "Paper! Nurel need paper and pen."
91921:25:36: <NachtRuine> "Ah. My apologies, I do not have either. Perhaps a merchant does." Saav does have his book, but he wouldn't dare let anyone draw on it.
92021:25:55: <Rainglove> Paper is in abundant supply, and cheap
92121:26:16: <Benedict> Nurel understands, nodding, and approaches a merchant for a single sheet of paper and to borrow a writing utensil, if the merchant is okay with that.
92221:26:31: <Rainglove> Gwyn, there are wild dogs, if that interests you. They stick to the gutters.
92321:26:50: <Rainglove> Nurel has achieved paper
92421:27:59: <Benedict> Nurel understand his not-goblin talk is shit, so he draws to show the builders what he means. The design is quite easy to understand, and doesn't require anything more than what they have on hand. Less wobbly. Lift with less weight. Make the job so much easier. Nurel thanks the merchant and heads towards the builders.
92521:28:55: <NachtRuine> Saav noticed Nurel's drawings looking pretty technical. He follows Nurel. "You are an engineer."
92621:29:39: <Benedict> "En... gin... eer." Nurel sounds out the word. It sounds familiar. "Nurel is gunsmith." That is all he knows. Nurel tries to get the attention of one of the builders.
92721:33:28: <Rainglove> There are dwarves building shit, as they do. The foredwarfman is yelling very, very loudly. "TO THE LEFT... MORE... MORE..."
92821:34:04: <viejo> 1d20+11 perception, is there anything out of the ordinary going on
92921:34:05: <Dados> Viejo, perception, is there anything out of the ordinary going on: 20 [1d20=9]
93021:34:24: <Benedict> Two can play the shouting game, dwarf. "DESIGN IS THE DUMB." That oughta catch a dwarf's attention, if not... "NUREL IMPROVE IT."
93121:35:19: <NachtRuine> Saav stands by Nurel, smirking behind his mask at his comment.
93221:35:42: <Rainglove> "EH?" The dwarf is still in scream mode, and turns around. "IMPROVE WHAT?"
93321:36:10: <Rainglove> Qojo you spot, gasp, a DISTRESSED FARMER
93421:36:14: <Rainglove> WHATEVER COULD BE THE MATTER
93521:36:18: <Benedict> Nurel points at the pulleys and such, and then holds up his little engineering sheet. "SAFE. FASTER. NUREL MAKE BETTER."
93621:38:41: <Rainglove> The dwarf takes the sheet. "WELL." He coughs. "Er, sorry." He scans the document. "Well." He turns and compares it to a nearby piece of the lifty buildy thing. "That'll uh... what's yer name?"
93721:38:43: <viejo> A FARMER? IN DISTRESS? AUTISM... ENGAGE
93821:38:56: <Benedict> "Nurel is Nurel."
93921:39:08: <viejo> Qojo slides up next to the farmer. "Hey, hey buddy, hey my buddy ol' pal. What's tha matta?"
94021:43:07: <Rainglove> "Well... Nurel. I'll uh, see what I can do with this. Thankee." Shoutmode reactivates. "OY, YOU, I SAID LEFT. WHICH WAY'S LEFT?"
94121:43:23: <Rainglove> Dwarfman goes off to bash heads together
94221:43:50: <Benedict> "Nurel hopes he uses it." With that, Nurel got what he wanted. Engineering saves the day. Let's go back to the town square.
94321:44:18: <NachtRuine> "He will. Any improvement is better than none."
94421:44:56: <Benedict> "Nurel know dwarf-men before magic. Stubborn. Drunk. Fight a lot."
94521:45:27: <Rainglove> The farmer is somehow not comforted by qojo's display of compassion, but he ignores it, being practically in tears. "Please, are you one of the people they were bringing in to get rid of the bandits? Do you know where I can find them?"
94621:46:17: <NachtRuine> "I am not very familiar of dwarves, but I have heard they appreciate efficiency."
94721:47:45: <Benedict> "Hope okay with goblin design." Is Qojo's autistic ass within view?
94821:48:10: <Rainglove> It is, and oh dear god what has he done to upset that poor farmer
94921:48:36: <Benedict> Oh dear.
95021:48:54: <NachtRuine> "The elf is bothering a farmer." Saav approaches.
95121:49:13: <viejo> Qojo detects an incoming edge.
95221:50:08: <viejo> 'My good, good manbuddy, what's wrong? Gotta bit of time before I need to go teach some bandits a lesson or three. My ears are yours. Not literally though, jeez.@
95321:51:06: <Benedict> "Thought Qojo was monkey?" Nurel is confused.
95421:51:14: <Hippocratesi> "That thing is no elf, orc." Gwyn approaches, having been in a sort of robotic stasis for the past few minutes.
95521:51:34: <viejo> GWYN'S AN ANIMATRONIC
95621:53:18: <Hippocratesi> maybe
95721:53:50: <viejo> myth BUSTED
95821:53:52: <Rainglove> "S-some kind of wolves came out of nowhere, some sort of magic... I don't know! My family's holed up in the farm, the... whatever they were were tearing through a cow when I left. Please, just..." More sobbing
95921:54:14: <Dados> Viejo, magic wolves: 11 [1d20=5]
96021:54:14: <viejo> 1d20+6 magic wolves
96121:54:28: <Rainglove> well, there were wolves at one point
96221:54:35: <Rainglove> and a lot of magic did happen at another point
96321:54:40: <viejo> Hmmm

96621:55:05: <Dados> Viejo, IS HE FAKING IT? (sense motive): 15 [1d20=5]
96721:55:14: <Rainglove> nope
96821:55:36: <NachtRuine> "This appears urgent, and farms are in short supply. Where is the farm."
96921:55:38: <viejo> 'Point in the right direction and I'm on it.'
97021:56:30: <Rainglove> The finger is pointed. "J-just that way, down the road. It's n-not too far."
97121:57:20: <Hippocratesi> "We'll deal with these wolves for you, weakling."
97221:57:28: <viejo> 'On it!' Qojo goes scampering off.
97321:58:04: <NachtRuine> "Stay here. We will come back once we handle them." Saav follows Qojo, his cape wooshing with the sudden movement.
97421:58:19: <Hippocratesi> Gwyn goes after them, staying behind a bit.
97521:58:29: <Rainglove> majestic wooshing is had
97621:58:36: <Rainglove> FARM
97721:58:37: <Rainglove> BAM
97821:58:40: <viejo> 'Magic wolves doesn't bring anything to mind, guess I must've flipped past them during 'study time.''
97921:58:47: <viejo> MY GOD IT'S SO
98021:58:48: <viejo> farm-like
98121:58:53: <Rainglove> indeed

98421:59:52: <NachtRuine> 1d20+11 K(nature) + monster lore
98522:00:17: <Rainglove> Not terrible, all things considered. The barn is more of a shed, and the house is... pretty small, but there are fenced areas with living things inside of them. There's also a fenced area with a few dead things inside it, in addition to a few living things that look very angry.

99022:01:14: <viejo> 1d20+6 hrrrkkkk
99122:01:33: <Rainglove> Saav, things got mutated all to hell when magic went bang. You know there are people who got magic when the world went boom, but animals is something you haven't heard of before
99222:01:39: <Rainglove> this bears investigating, at the very least
99322:01:53: <Rainglove> Gwyn you have definitely heard of wolves
99422:02:03: <Rainglove> You think you might have seen one before
99522:02:10: <NachtRuine> "This isn't natural. Animals shouldn't have been affected by the event."
99622:02:11: <Hippocratesi> I'm not sure, man
99722:02:20: <Rainglove> You're right
99822:02:23: <Rainglove> they're probably walruses
99922:02:29: <viejo> A wolf stole Garret's nose
100022:02:55: <viejo> 1d20+11 I spy with my little eye... A WOLF?
100122:02:55: <Dados> Viejo, I spy with my little eye... A WOLF?: 21 [1d20=10]
100222:03:09: <NachtRuine> "Regardless, they must be put down."
100322:03:54: <Hippocratesi> "How unfortunate. If it must be done, so be it." Gwyn *unsheathes axe*
100422:04:09: <Rainglove> Well qojo, there are oddly large wolves in tha pasture
100522:04:15: <Rainglove> and it looks like there used to be a fence there
100622:04:19: <Rainglove> as well os some very nice cows
100722:04:24: <Rainglove> but now there is no fence
100822:04:27: <Rainglove> and there are no cows
100922:04:56: <viejo> 'Well damn, those are some big wolves. Looks like the ol' farmer's cows have been shredded, unless the wolves are holding them hostage. Seems unlikely. Heh.\
101022:05:28: <NachtRuine> have they noticed us?
101122:06:10: <Hippocratesi> Gwyn has a second thought. "Hold on, do not attack yet!"
101222:06:46: <NachtRuine> "For what purpose?"
101322:06:58: <NachtRuine> make that a statement
101422:07:12: <viejo> 'Jee, speak a little louder and invite them on over.'
101522:07:31: <Hippocratesi> Gwyn steps forward and calls out to the walruses.
101622:08:26: <NachtRuine> "What are you doing."
101722:08:30: <Rainglove> what do his elf lips say

102322:08:47: <Rainglove> IT'S A NOT-SHIT ROLL
102422:08:57: <Hippocratesi> DO WE WIN
102522:10:02: <viejo> 'Man, I hope you know what you're doin'.'
102622:10:13: <Rainglove> Well, the wolves definitely don't like you
102722:10:19: <viejo> Qojo whispers from the shadows of a nearby mushroom
102822:10:25: <Rainglove> but they stop murdering things and they don't seem like they're going to murder you
102922:10:26: <Rainglove> maybe
103022:10:28: <Rainglove> hopefully
103122:11:35: <viejo> 'Hey! Over here! Elf buffet! Congratulations; you're the main course.' Qojo says in a hushed tone to Gwyn.
103222:11:46: <Benedict> Nurel was here the whole time.
103322:11:50: <NachtRuine> "If you can ensure they do not return, I shall hide as well. Signal for help if needed."
103422:11:57: <Rainglove> Qojo's autism can in fact be felt from ten feet away
103522:12:32: <viejo> It'll repel the wolves.
103622:12:41: <viejo> They'll fear eating Qojo will make them autistic as well.
103722:13:11: <Hippocratesi> Gwyn narrows his eyes at the wolves. "They won't attack, not for now. Hurry up and retrieve the human's family, if they're alive. I will watch the beasts."
103822:13:43: <viejo> 'What, and bring the wolves' meal to them? Whose side are you on?'
103922:14:28: <Hippocratesi> "Bring them to /us/, simpleton!"
104022:15:33: <NachtRuine> Saav hesitates for a moment, but realizes now is not the time to wonder. "We must go." He looks to Gwyn. "I will trust you. Make sure I am not mistaken in doing so." He goes to the house.
104122:15:41: <Benedict> Nurel is so small that he can probably sneak over to the farm. Let's try.
104222:15:44: <Benedict> 1d20+12 STEALTH

104522:16:20: <viejo> 'Simpleton? Jee, thought we already established who's braindead and who's not. Just as a head's-up, ain't me buddy.' Qojo goes sneaking off towards the house.
104622:16:40: <Rainglove> roljo qojo
104722:16:47: <viejo> I did earlier.

105222:17:21: <Rainglove> well
105322:17:25: <viejo> they sniff out a nose
105422:17:27: <viejo> garret's nose
105522:17:29: <Benedict> Stupid wolves. They can't find me.
105622:17:31: <Benedict> I got Norton.
105722:18:19: <Rainglove> w-were there people here? The wolves see nothing
105822:18:51: <Benedict> Nurel is 2good. He approaches the house and, hey, might be a window, let's look in. "Nurel is helping." He whispers to anyone that is inside.
105922:19:42: <Rainglove> A terrified twelve year old half-shrieks at Nurel's appearance, and runs away.
106022:20:03: <NachtRuine> Saav similarly approaches the house, removing his mask as he does. He tries the door.
106122:20:23: <Benedict> But Nurel is kawaii!
106222:20:27: <Rainglove> The door is, go figure, locked
106322:20:31: <viejo> Qojo tries to find an entrance.
106422:20:52: <Rainglove> Mom appears at Nurel's window a few seconds later. "Who are you?"
106522:21:09: <Rainglove> Qojo you find nurel's window and the front door
106622:21:10: <Benedict> "Nurel is Nurel. Dirty person sent us to help."
106722:21:24: <Benedict> Sent he* Nurel doesn't know the word "Us"
106822:21:55: <NachtRuine> "Makes sense to lock the door." He sees someone at the window in front of Nurel. "We are here to get you away from the wolves."
106922:22:56: <viejo> 'We're here to help, some farmer asked for our help. Gon' assist you and your family out of the building. Anyone hurt?'
107022:23:10: <Hippocratesi> Gwyn turns to his faithful lion. "Huron, Menace." He points to the, uh, wolves.
107122:23:17: <Hippocratesi> 1d20+7 i-i dunno if i need to roll for that
107222:23:17: <Dados> Hippocratesi, i-i dunno if i need to roll for that: 22 [1d20=15]
107322:23:20: <Hippocratesi> jeez
107422:23:23: <Rainglove> She is clearly relieved, though worried. "what about the farm though?"
107522:23:28: <Rainglove> Huron is a menacing motherfucker
107622:23:43: <Benedict> "First tribe safety. Farm later."
107722:23:52: <Hippocratesi> do i need to roll intimidate or
107822:24:00: <Rainglove> we'll just uh
107922:24:12: <Rainglove> say the lion's pretty goddamn sacry
108022:24:18: <Hippocratesi> d'okay
108122:24:20: <NachtRuine> "As he says. Farms can be rebuilt."
108222:24:23: <viejo> 'I er, agree with the lil' guy. Your lives mean more than this farm right now.'
108322:24:59: <Benedict> "If wish, tribe can clear farm later. No cost. First, tribe safety. Open window?"
108422:25:54: <Rainglove> "I'll just get the door, if that's alright." She glances worriedly in the direction of all her dead farm things, then gets the door. Children have mysteriously appeared with her as she opens it.
108522:26:37: <Benedict> Nurel sneaks around to the front door, beckoning the farm family to follow him in stealth mode.
108622:26:41: <viejo> How mysteriously are we talking?
108722:27:14: <viejo> 1d20+10 I want to sense her motive
108822:27:15: <Dados> Viejo, I want to sense her motive: 15 [1d20=5]
108922:27:16: <Rainglove> Not terribly. Mom-powers or some shit.
109022:27:38: <Rainglove> She doesn't want her kids dead. She'd appreciate if the farm didn't dead either.
109122:27:58: <viejo> GOSP. THEY'RE the wolves.
109222:28:14: <viejo> Qojo follows along and watches out for big nasty wolves.
109322:28:57: <Rainglove> There's a very large lion between qojo and the wolves, prowling back and forth and growling any time one of them comes near the mostly-destroyed fence between the party and them.
109422:29:16: <Benedict> Let's get this family outta here!
109522:29:25: <NachtRuine> yeh
109622:29:32: <viejo> scoooot
109722:30:34: <Rainglove> The family is scooted. Huron breaks off as everyone distances themselves from the farm.
109822:31:37: <Benedict> Are we heroes?
109922:31:41: <Hippocratesi> Gwyn gives Huron a good ol' rub behind the eyes. I guess lions like that, I dunno.
110022:31:47: <Hippocratesi> ears.
110122:31:48: <Hippocratesi> not eyes
110222:31:49: <Rainglove> are you heading all the way back to town?
110322:31:50: <Hippocratesi> i'm sorry
110422:32:31: <NachtRuine> I'd figured we were taking the family to the crying farmer. I thought it was pretty close.
110522:33:44: <Rainglove> Tears are shed, hugs are had. The farmer shakes the hand of someone who isn't racist and too autistic or kawaii to know what a handshake is
110622:34:09: <NachtRuine> Saav knows what a handshake is.
110722:34:24: <Benedict> Nurel knows what a handshake is now thanks to Qojo. He grabs the farmer's thumb and shakes it like it was putting out a match.
110822:34:27: <NachtRuine> His mask has been put back on, since he is now in public.
110922:34:28: <Rainglove> "Thank you, thank you so much. The uh... what happened to those things? Did they destroy anything?"
111022:34:48: <Benedict> "Saw dead animal. Did not clear. Tribe safety first. Can return later."
111122:37:21: <viejo> 'They're still there, but we can go deal with them if ya want. Probably not all that safe havin' them around these parts in the first place, let alone damaging your farm.'
111222:38:09: <Hippocratesi> "We made sure to get your family out first."
111322:38:10: <NachtRuine> "Yes, we were more concerned for your safety. Now that you are safe, we can handle them."
111422:38:19: <Rainglove> "That would be appreciated, if you's uh... if you would?"
111522:38:55: <Benedict> "Would. No cost."
111622:39:32: <viejo> 'Easy peasy. These fists of steel will smack a wolf jaw or seven.'
111722:40:59: <NachtRuine> "Your food output is needed, especially now. We will handle them." He turns around to return to the farm.
111822:41:10: <Rainglove> WOOSH FARM
111922:41:23: <Benedict> What a nice farm.
112022:41:26: <Hippocratesi> Are the wolves still standing there
112122:42:13: <Rainglove> They've moved on to devouring chickens, but yes
112222:42:24: <Benedict> NOT THE CHICKENS, EDDY.
112322:42:47: <viejo> 'Jee, those wolves sure are wolfing down those chickens, right? Geddit?'
112422:43:05: <NachtRuine> Saav looks to Gwyn. "Do you intend to speak to them again."
112522:43:58: <Hippocratesi> "No point. Let's just kill them here and now."
112622:44:29: <Benedict> "Nurel will stay back. With gun. Bang bang. Safer."
112722:45:30: <viejo> 'Time to kick some furry behinds.'
112822:45:54: <NachtRuine> "Very well. I shall make it easier."

157700:03:57: <viejo> Qojo splutters the end of the story and ends it on an autistic note.
157800:04:16: <Benedict> "But shuriken not nail."
157900:04:54: <Rainglove> We'll say thirty gold apiece for five of them, talk about mages later?

159700:07:55: <Rainglove> it's a bunch of tents, mostly empty with a few people walking around. They haven't noticed you yet, but your hostage is walking towards them, and they're gonna see him soon.
159800:07:55: <Goatsmith> He was not particularly enthralled by either story, but nods in appreciation nonetheless before setting his sights on the camp.
159900:08:05: <Rainglove> Later, qojo
160000:08:18: <Rainglove> have a chat with THEM MAGES
160100:08:49: <Goatsmith> (I have K Arcana to a degree now if it's needed by a caster btw)

160300:09:07: <NachtRuine> Saav whispers to the others. "So how shall we handle the leader?"
160400:09:44: <Benedict> "Nurel could try talk? Nurel think it work."
160500:09:44: <Hippocratesi> "I'd rather see his head roll but I'm sure you'll all want to /talk/ to him."
160600:09:53: <Benedict> YEAH, I DO, GWYN.
160700:09:55: <Goatsmith> "Were we not going to scare him with words and boulders?"

161100:10:07: <Rainglove> what an IC channel
161200:10:58: <NachtRuine> "He's among friends in his own home. It is much harder to scare a man in his own home than out in the world. It can be attempted, but I offer no promises. Alternatively, we can talk him down."
161300:11:24: <Benedict> "Nurel used do that in goblin tribe."
161400:12:23: <Goatsmith> "I am comfortable with what ever action we choose, so long as the job is done and done right."
161500:12:50: <NachtRuine> "Then you are experienced, Nurel. I am good at causing fear, but diplomacy is not something I can do."
161600:13:30: <Benedict> "Perhaps offer of coin and food if guard pass for us. Enemy-friend?"
161700:13:51: <Benedict> "Or just make stand down? Choice is tribe."
161800:14:34: <Goatsmith> "There is likely no gold or food to barter if they couldn't directly pay us for our services."
161900:15:33: <Benedict> "Trade bring. But understand. Stand down. Nurel is ready."
162000:15:59: <viejo> 'Whatever it is let's get on with it. They'll see us soon or later.'
162100:16:10: <Hippocratesi> "It's settled then. Let's move on."
162200:16:53: <NachtRuine> "You appear certain in your ability. You shall take charge once we enter."
162300:17:19: <viejo> 'Broken-Common diplomacy it is - what a hoot. Let's go.'
162400:17:38: <Rainglove> AWAY GOES THE BAND OF IDIOTS

162600:17:48: <viejo> DUM DUM DUM DEEDUMDEEDUM DUM
162700:19:52: <Rainglove> Someone yells as the band of... you fellows approaches the camp. A group of eight or ten scrambles as you approach, and comes running out to meet your group. Several of them yell at your group as they run towards you. They're all yelling different things, but it comes down to "Who are you and what do you want?"
162800:20:23: <Benedict> "Tribe here to speak to leader."
162900:21:01: <Hippocratesi> Gwyn furrows his brow at all the literally pig-disgusting races around him.
163000:21:48: <Goatwright> Waakanti stares down at them, securely holding his big ass rock.
163100:22:12: <NachtRuine> Saav does hope the word of mouth has spread about him as he also stares down the group behind his mask.
163200:23:32: <Rainglove> There's complete disarray, then they finally seem to pick someone to talk. He sneers as he speaks, and does his best to look like he's talking to dirt. "And why should we bring you to him?"
163300:23:35: <viejo> Qojo remains light on his feet and ready to boogie.
163400:24:43: <Benedict> Nurel must have dirt on him. He hopes he can buy soap later. "Discuss pass. Opening. Better life for he and tribe."
163500:26:07: <Goatwright> He'll have to ask Waakanti for some later. "Or you settle for less." He hikes his rock up a bit.
163600:27:25: <Rainglove> "Or what, you'll throw a rock at me?" The sneer is... sneerier. "Why would we open the pass?"
163700:27:49: <Goatwright> Waakanti is offended. "I am offended." It is now clear he's offended.
163800:27:54: <Goatwright> Because he's offended.
163900:28:23: <viejo> 'Look what ya did? You're making my bud upset. Look, look! Is that a tear I see forming? For shame. No respect out here.'
164000:28:37: <Benedict> "Hate coin? Hate hot food? If so, do not open pass. If like those things, opening pass benefits all. Think. Two hot meal day. Small home for self. Good, yes?"
164100:29:12: <Benedict> Nurel pinches Qojo. Shut up, Qojo.
164200:29:15: <Goatwright> Waakanti stares magic frosty ice daggers at Qojo.
164300:29:35: <NachtRuine> Saav is fighting the urge to put these savages in their place. Thinking they are better than civilized beings.
164400:29:44: <viejo> 'Yeesh.' Qojo rubs his crippled nipple better.
164500:32:03: <Rainglove> Sense motive plz. "We get fed just fine. You got a reason we should let you in, or are we just gonna exchange pleasantries?"

165900:34:05: <Benedict> Saav is our greatest ally.
166000:34:16: <NachtRuine> :)
166100:36:13: <Rainglove> They pretty clearly do not get fed just fine. Times be tough for bandits. You get the feeling diplomacy isn't gonna make these guys budge.
166200:36:40: <Benedict> Saav, tell Nurel that, damn it.
166300:38:47: <NachtRuine> Saav takes a step forward. "You do not feed well. You are all skin and bones. Now you are either going to let us in, or you shall lose either your skin or your bones."
166400:39:18: <Hippocratesi> "Perhaps your heads, if you're lucky."
166500:40:11: <Benedict> Nurel large ears twitch at Saav's words. Liars, eh? If they won't admit it, Nurel will get their stomach to admit it. "He is sure? Nurel think they feed well. Perhaps bandit tribe ears... well-done minotaur tongue with roasted potato. Wolf steak with grounded pepper?"
166600:40:21: <Benedict> eats*
166700:40:42: <Goatwright> "You're becoming illegible, goblin." He whispers down at Nurel, nudging him with his foot.
166800:42:01: <viejo> 'Minotaur tongue and roasted potato? Oh man, I gotta try that.'
166900:42:05: <Benedict> "Nurel is sorrow." Nurel whispers back, then speaks up, thinking of more recipes off the top of his head to get the bandits stomachs growling to help the team through. "Roast steak with rice. Or bread chicken with herb?"
167000:42:28: <viejo> 'Mmm, doesn't that just make ya gut feel all warm and tingly? Mmm, food.'
167100:42:43: <Benedict> Nurel pinches Qojo again. Man, shut up.
167200:42:43: <NachtRuine> Upon hearing Nurel's words, he gives control back to him. Perhaps he can tempt them.
167300:43:18: <Rainglove> "I get it, I get it." The man makes an attempt at shushing Nurel. He looks over at Saav. "And what, you're just gonna steal my skin?"
167400:44:13: <Benedict> "Nurel reminds of bread of garlic tribe used to make. Bread of garlic with butter spread in."
167500:44:17: <viejo> Nurel disrespects Qojo's other nipple this time.
167600:44:29: <Goatwright> "Your skin looks unappealing and well worn."
167700:44:43: <Goatwright> "I doubt it would make for good leather."
167800:45:24: <Hippocratesi> "You're also a degenerate, who would wear you?"
167900:46:00: <NachtRuine> "I have no need for it. In fact, I do not need to do it myself. I can get your friend to do it for me." He removes his mask and approaches, a crooked smile growing. "Now will you let us in, or shall the carving begin?"

168100:46:05: <Dados> NachtRuine, 1d20+12: 28 [1d20=16]
168200:48:37: <Rainglove> The man blinks and reconsiders his position.
168300:49:02: <Rainglove> "Um... Right. Would you uh, prefer us to bring him here or..."
168400:49:50: <NachtRuine> "Bring him out."
168500:50:06: <Benedict> Nurel takes a step to the background. "<Not as good as I thought.>"
168600:52:42: <Rainglove> "Ooookay." And off he goes.
168700:53:05: <Rainglove> The remaining crowd of bandits shuffles and coughs and just sort of stands around.
168800:54:15: <Goatwright> Waakanti continues to look down at them.
168900:54:21: <Goatwright> This rock is getting uncomfortable.
169000:54:25: <Rainglove> And several minutes later out comes THE MAN HIMSELF, a half-orc by the looks of him. He is... quite large.
169100:54:36: <Goatwright> How large?
169200:54:43: <Rainglove> And somewhat pissed, by the look of things
169300:54:59: <Benedict> He's a big guy.
169400:55:03: <Rainglove> Around seven foot
169500:55:13: <Hippocratesi> He ain't shit
169600:56:06: <viejo> Qojo whistles.
169700:56:09: <Goatwright> He is not big for Waakanti.
169800:56:21: <Goatwright> Waakanti is bigger, and he continues looking down at this PIG DISGUSTING HALF-ORC SCRUBLET.
169900:56:29: <NachtRuine> "Rotter."
170000:56:44: <Hippocratesi> Gwyn stares that degenerate in the eyes.
170100:58:07: <viejo> 'Jee, I forgot how cliche the name was. I mean, seriously? 'Rotter'?'
170200:59:10: <Rainglove> That degenerate does not look intimidated in the slightest. "Dad was an orc, what do you expect? Did you want me for something, or should I kill you now?"
170301:01:33: <Benedict> "<Not the friendliest half-orc, but I don't meet a lot of friendly ones.>"
170401:01:48: <Goatwright> "I believe we could kill you beforehand."
170501:03:16: <NachtRuine> "That said, we'd like to discuss the pass."
170601:03:35: <Benedict> "Bandit tribe is starving. You in way of pass. Can get two hot meal day if willingly talk."

172801:09:57: <Benedict> Nurel is a terrible diplomat. Don't ask him to do it ever again.
172901:10:22: <Goatwright> We can intimidate.
173001:10:36: <Benedict> A bandit leader. In his camp. Surrounded by his followers.
173101:10:39: <NachtRuine> can we really
173201:10:42: <Goatwright> We can take 'em
173301:11:07: <Rainglove> "And why would I care what you have to say about the pass?"

173901:11:51: <Goatwright> "It is not a winning battle."
174001:11:55: <Goatwright> "We likely won't, no."
174101:11:56: <viejo> 'If we fail? Pft. We're gestalts.'
174201:12:23: <Goatwright> Waakanti kicks out the back of Qojo's knee. HOLY SHIT YOU ARE SUCH A DUMB FUCKING MONKEY GODDAMN WHY DID /YOU/ HAVE TO BE A GESTALT
174301:12:50: <Benedict> Nurel sighs. "Even if beat us, how will he feed his tribe? Tribe is starving. Cities hold back caravans. He has too many mouths to feed, like my tribe did before the magic. Either he and tribe will die out, or the tribe will turn on he."

174601:12:59: <viejo> Qojo dodges the lumbering faggot's kick.
174701:13:22: <Benedict> "Nurel and tribe offer way to prevent that."
174801:14:18: <Rainglove> "Is this some kind of joke?" Rotter watches the infighting and the autism. "If you want a fight, you'll get one. Give me a reason I shouldn't burn you out of the world right now."
174901:15:14: <Benedict> "He and tribe will still not have food. He and tribe will starve out."
175001:15:19: <Goatwright> How close is the nearest non-Rotter bandit?
175101:17:03: <viejo> How close is Qojo to Mr Big Boots Half Orc?
175201:18:34: <Rainglove> They're all about ten feet away from you. Rotter's got several people on either side of him.
175301:18:58: <Benedict> You mentioned the other bandits are clearly starving. What about Rotter? How well fed is he?
175401:19:11: <viejo> Also what do I garner with my glorious sense motive?
175501:21:01: <Benedict> Rain-chan, please.
175601:21:56: <NachtRuine> "Because you're surrounded. The second I give the command, the cavalry will approach and swarm you. You're outnumbered, and outmatched."

175801:22:02: <Dados> NachtRuine, bluffarooni: 31 [1d20=11]
175901:22:09: <Rainglove> Rotter seems to be doing alright. Not starving, but he also looks like he's much more used to living like this than other people might have. He probably wasn't a noble in his previous life.
176001:22:52: <Goatwright> Waakanti nods. This is a good lie.
176101:23:38: <Rainglove> Rotter can't really read through the mask, but you're not sure how convinced he is. "And I just have to take you at your word for that?"
176201:25:37: <NachtRuine> "Yes." Don't add more details than needed.
176301:28:42: <Rainglove> The half-orc glances at the bandits to his sides, then steps forward. "... Let's go somewhere quieter."
176401:29:27: <viejo> Can I use my sense motive now?
176501:30:08: <Rainglove> He does not believe you, but doesn't seem like he wants to talk in front of his men

176901:30:31: <Rainglove> You don't get the feeling he /could/ pull anything against all of you.
177001:30:36: <NachtRuine> great
177101:30:55: <Benedict> Nurel follows to private talk room, I guess.
177201:31:15: <NachtRuine> "Sounds good."
177301:31:16: <Rainglove> it was more take a walk private
177401:31:19: <Rainglove> not bedroom private
177501:31:29: <viejo> Let's all go for a walk then. Dumdeedum.
177601:31:38: <NachtRuine> "Let's take a walk, discuss our terms."
177701:32:03: <Hippocratesi> "Very well." Gwyn goes.
177801:33:02: <Goatwright> Waakanti forces the boulder into the arms of one of the bandits. "Hold this for me. If you do not still possess it when I get back, I will be both offended and upset." He then follows after Rotter.
177901:33:15: <Rainglove> The bandit and the boulder hit the ground
178001:33:30: <viejo> did waakanti just kill a bandit
178101:33:30: <Goatwright> One down.
178201:33:33: <Goatwright> :^)
178301:33:33: <Rainglove> The bandit does keep holding on though
178401:33:41: <Rainglove> no goddamn
178501:35:51: <Rainglove> WALKING. Rotter is keeping a very careful eye on all of you, but he doesn't seem terribly afraid. "That was a pretty awful lie, but the mask was neat. I'm going to be straight with you. I don't like living up here. It's pretty shitty. I'd love to have a nice little house with two meals a day. But I trust you've met the dwarf running that town down there?"
178601:36:40: <NachtRuine> "Yes. I do not trust him. He aches to be rid of us." Saav thinks further. "Just as... he aches to be rid of you."
178701:37:15: <viejo> 'Yeah, he seems like a piece of work. Wanted us to get rid of you lot without a second thought.'
178801:38:08: <Benedict> "Dwarf hunt down goblin tribes. Dislike he."
178901:38:23: <Hippocratesi> "A drunk shouldn't be running anything."
179001:41:22: <Rainglove> "He'd kill me soon as look at me. Not too much of a friend to orcs, that one. Or most races. So the whole camp is stuck here, with nowhere to go. I don't want to get any of them killed unnecessarily, and so here we sit."
179101:42:05: <Benedict> "He tell Nurel, camp is for tribes... hiding from dwarf?"
179201:42:22: <viejo> Qojo's brow furrows at this next spouting of GARBAGE.
179301:42:50: <Benedict> What were the main races in that camp?
179401:43:42: <Goatwright> Dwarves, right?
179501:44:05: <viejo> Can I use a knowledge skill to find out Rotter's power level?
179601:44:07: <Hippocratesi> There were some dwarves, if i remember correctly
179701:44:20: <Benedict> I know there were people -speaking- dwarf.
179801:44:37: <Rainglove> A whole lot of mixes, surprisingly. Someone with a good bit of perception would've noticed a few more half-and-halfs like Rotter, fetchlings, ratfolk, you may have seen some goblins mixed in as well.
179901:44:48: <Benedict> MUH PEOPLE.
180001:45:06: <Benedict> Alright, I'm sensing motive on what Rotter said. Make sure he's not bullshitting us.

180501:45:30: <Goatwright> BUT WAAKANTI DOES.
180601:45:36: <Benedict> And let's detect for any EVIL on Rotter.
180701:45:39: <Goatwright> Cast cast cast Detect Magic.
180801:45:48: <Hippocratesi> I too cast Detect Magic
180901:45:49: <Rainglove> He said he was going to be straight with you, and from what you can tell he seems to be telling the truth
181001:46:05: <Benedict> But is he EVIL?
181101:46:10: <Rainglove> ain't no ebil. that the only alignment you can detect?
181201:46:27: <Rainglove> K arcana or spellcraft detecting magickers

181601:47:03: <Rainglove> roll for it

183101:49:47: <NachtRuine> "And it appears that we are both gestalt."
183201:50:29: <Rainglove> "I don't like waving my dick in other people's faces. So, will you help us?"
183301:50:32: <Goatwright> Can Waakanti tell what KIND of magic? Divine or arcane, at least?
183401:50:37: <Rainglove> arcane
183501:50:55: <Goatwright> Waakanti nods. "You have many reasons to stay away. The mages would appreciate your perspective."
183601:51:24: <viejo> 'Depends what 'help' entails. Also, what's your side of this story? Dwarf leader sold you as a bunch o' no-good murderous bandits, that whole shabang.'
183701:51:54: <Benedict> "Nurel is unsure. Rotter has raided caravans, from what dwarf say, and tribe does not say nice things about bandit tribe."
183801:52:17: <viejo> 'Yeah, I'm wonderin' how many folk you lot kill.'
183901:52:26: <Goatwright> "I have a concern before I will agree to assist however." Waakanti straightens up a bit. "The village is many, and all may not be as open to a takeover with formerly violent men of races thought lesser."
184001:52:37: <Hippocratesi> "What's this about you intercepting trade?"
184101:53:06: <NachtRuine> Saav looks to all the others. They ask too many questions in too little time.
184201:53:10: <Rainglove> "We're stuck in a mountain with next to nothing living in it. Did we pull food from a few merchants who didn't need it? Yeah. It was either that or die. Killing... wasn't me, if they weren't trying to kill me. There are a few here who never really learned to be civilized."
184301:54:22: <viejo> Is he telling the truth or do we need to roll sense motive again?
184401:54:23: <Benedict> "Then Nurel will not help. Yet. Bandit tribe needs to learn. If bandit tribe taken to town, tribe cannot... be savage."
184501:54:39: <Rainglove> he's not lying
184601:54:45: <NachtRuine> he has no reason to lie
184701:55:17: <Hippocratesi> "Why should we help /you/? What will you give in return?"
184801:55:26: <NachtRuine> "The issue is less of the tribe being savage, and more the man running it."
184901:56:00: <viejo> 'Yeah, okay, I can buy that. We can drop any notions of hostility between our group and yours then.'
185001:56:27: <Rainglove> "You're here to deal with me, aren't you? Either kill me or run me off? Here's your third option. And you're not running anyone off. Nowhere to go."
185101:57:28: <viejo> 'I can't say I want to run you off now that we know about your living conditions, and I definitely ain't gon' kill you if you're just tryna survive. It's basic instinct. All ears to your idea.'
185201:57:33: <Benedict> "Nurel like idea of helping, but Nurel does not wish to hurt town-tribe. Dwarf, another story."
185301:57:56: <NachtRuine> "We have no desire to kill. We would like to hear your option, as it appears it may be the only desirable one."
185401:58:09: <Hippocratesi> "Go on then, what is your plan?"
185502:00:10: <Rainglove> "You help us get out of here. How, I don't really care. Get us into the town, get the dwarf to stop hunting us down, whatever works for you. I just don't want people being hunted down anymore. Do it however you want. If you want my help, or anyone in that camp, you have it."
185602:01:31: <Benedict> "Hmm. What of tribe in north? Dwarf wanted connect with tribe to trade. Could live there. If possible, could tell dwarf bandit tribe willing to guard pass for coin and food, like Nurel's original plan."
185702:04:15: <viejo> 'Do ya have any intentions of killin' the dwarf leader? You were straight before, would appreciate it if ya straight now, makes things easily, yaknow.'
185802:04:39: <Goatwright> "If you're skilled in combat, guarding these prized caravans seems as a good use of your skills."
185902:05:29: <viejo> easier*
186002:05:32: <NachtRuine> "Killing the dwarf leader will only result in more chaos." He adds nothing else, as that is his only justification for not killing him.
186102:05:35: <Rainglove> "There's people there alright, but they're ah... not terribly friendly towards us, either. Same group of dwarves from what I can tell. That said, if you can do some convincing, it might happen."
186202:05:46: <Benedict> Nurel suddenly remembers something! "...Dwarf made Nurel and rest of tribe leaders, yes? If Dwarf have problem, rest of tribe leaders agree to let Rotter and bandit tribe become guards. Dwarf can do nothing."
186302:07:51: <Rainglove> The look on his face is somewhere between surprise and outright laughter. "You /really/ think that dwarf'll make you lot equal leaders in that place?"
186402:08:25: <Goatwright> "I can eat him," Waakanti says. "This would solve the issue."
186502:08:26: <Benedict> "If dwarf wish to not anger five gestalts, yes."
186602:08:33: <Goatwright> "If he is the aggressor, I see no issue."
186702:08:38: <viejo> 'Nah, course not. I could tell he was power hungry, nothin' else. Gettin' rid of people. People like you and me.'
186802:08:55: <Benedict> "Nurel learn that dwarf is hunting goblin tribes. Nurel not like dwarf anyway."
186902:09:02: <NachtRuine> "I did not expect he would keep his word. Even us five would not be able to take out those in his control."
187002:09:27: <Hippocratesi> "I don't like dwarves at all, really."
187102:09:45: <Benedict> "Nurel is aware."
187202:11:04: <Rainglove> "... Right. Long as we're we're allowed out, we'll be alright, I think."
187302:13:53: <Benedict> "Nurel thinks... try to convince dwarf to allow bandit tribe to guard pass. If not, tribe gets city to agree with us."
187402:14:15: <Goatwright> "While we can have issues with him, I believe we should find the complete town impression before we remove him from play."
187502:14:27: <viejo> 'Either way, these people here are starvin' and that ain't changin' 'til we get goin'.'
187602:14:56: <Rainglove> Rotter seems not at all confident that you'll actually succeed at what you're doing
187702:15:07: <Rainglove> but he knows this is probably the best he's gonna get
187802:15:14: <Goatwright> Waakanti fishes the soap out of his bag and holds it up. "Gwyn saw a pointed-ear who sold me this soap. Perhaps he may display his strength in an effort to woo her and then gather information on what the other elders feel."
187902:15:43: <Hippocratesi> Gwyn raises a brow but...does not object.
188002:15:44: <Goatwright> "This may then help in making our next decision."
188102:16:06: <viejo> 'Just... What? Are you serious? This is... This is...'
188202:16:11: <Benedict> "Tribe knows mages dislike dwarf. Nurel saw a goblin town. Ask for information about opinion."
188302:16:16: <viejo> 'AN AMAZING IDEA. My, my my my, why didn't I think of it?'
188402:16:20: <NachtRuine> Saav gets that feeling as well. "We are a ragtag bunch, but we've made it this far."
188502:16:25: <Hippocratesi> "I...could try."
188602:16:33: <Goatwright> "Thank you, ape man."
188702:16:35: <Benedict> "Nurel thinks this tribe is good tribe."
188802:16:57: <viejo> 'No problem, ya lumbering braindead fossil.'
188902:17:27: <viejo> 'There's a mage in town who particularly dislikes the dwarf leader and seems good enough to me. We should talk to him first.'
189002:17:48: <Goatwright> "Gwyn. I may be able to help in your display."
189102:18:00: <Benedict> Nurel then looks to Rotter. "If take awhile, Nurel will try bring food to bandit tribe."
189202:18:23: <Hippocratesi> "What could you do, giant?"
189302:18:28: <NachtRuine> Saavou smiles, genuinely, and in a non-sadistic manner, for the first time in front of the group. It's a small smile, broken by his misshapen teeth, but it's one at that.
189402:18:53: <viejo> Qojo grimaces.
189502:19:06: <Goatwright> "When my people are to woo their mates, they fight sand worms, so that they might show their superior strength over much greater foes. I am small now, but it is something I may address. For a time."
189602:19:24: <Rainglove> Rotter nods thankfully at Nurel. "If you need me for anything, yo- And I do mean need. /Need/. You know where to find me."
189702:19:30: <Goatwright> "If we may disguise me, you may..." He lets out an exaggerated sigh. "...'save' the town from a 'giant'."
189802:19:47: <Goatwright> He is clearly uncomfortable with the thought of being a violent stereotype, but it doesn't seem to make his suggestion any less earnest.
189902:20:16: <Hippocratesi> Gwyn furrows his brow and folds his arms. "Disguise you?"
190002:20:32: <Goatwright> "They must not recognize I am that of the same giant."
190102:20:45: <Goatwright> He touches the tanned skin of his cheek.
190202:20:50: <Benedict> "Shall return to town now? Get info tribe need? Mask-man can talk to mage, I find goblin, Qojo can talk to farmer, giant and elf talk to soap."
190302:20:53: <viejo> 'That is the dumbest idea I've ever heard.'
190402:21:07: <Goatwright> "I am offended."
190502:21:11: <Goatwright> Ice dagger stare.
190602:21:20: <Goatwright> "Your standing fluctuates and it makes me uncomfortable."
190702:21:28: <NachtRuine> "Let's get all the information we need, then decide our course of action." He puts on his mask as he says this, his voice warping as he does so.
190802:21:44: <Benedict> "Mask... not required for mage."
190902:22:03: <Goatwright> -fluctuates +changes
191002:22:28: <Hippocratesi> Gwyn can't believe he's working with...DEGENERATES. "...I will consider your plan, giant."
191102:22:33: <NachtRuine> He looks to Nurel. "My apologies. The mask comforts me."
191202:22:39: <viejo> 'This'd make a great piece of the theater. Five Tards Unite: The Musical.' Qojo looks up mystically and spreads his hands out in an arc.
191302:23:40: <Goatwright> "Please do not provoke me further."
191402:23:53: <NachtRuine> "I don't sing. I don't have the voice for it."
191502:24:23: <Goatwright> "I have yet to insult your lack of person. Please do not continue to insult my perception of this world."
191602:24:57: <viejo> 'Please, ya don't understand half the words comin' out of my mouth and the other half ain't 'me' or 'smash' so it upsets ya.'
191702:25:32: <Hippocratesi> "Do you ever shut up, monkey?"
191802:25:34: <NachtRuine> "Your statements are out of line."
191902:25:58: <NachtRuine> "If you take such issue with us, then leave. I assure you, you will not be missed."
192002:27:15: <viejo> ''You will not be missed.' Jee, what cliche villain role are you applyin' for?'
192102:27:54: <Goatwright> "I will not continue to take such comments from such a disgusting lower creature such as yourself. If combat is what you desire, combat is what I can offer."
192202:28:47: <viejo> Qojo laughs.
192302:28:53: <viejo> ''Disgusting lower creature,' oh man.'
192402:29:23: <Goatwright> "You are an ape that speaks."
192502:29:33: <Goatwright> "The goblin holds higher standing than you."
192602:29:44: <viejo> 'And you're a bigger, hairless ape that spouts nonsense. At least I have the ability to talk, numbnuts.'
192702:31:27: <NachtRuine> "Giant. I believe we are done here. I'm sure the monkey has no reason to follow us, since he reviles us so, so we shall go."
192802:32:11: <viejo> 'This is brilliant. All you can do is call me a monkey. Oh how far civilization has come.'
192902:32:20: <Benedict> "Nurel take back what he say about this tribe being good tribe."
193002:32:32: <Hippocratesi> "Would you rather we call you the degenerate that you are?"
193102:32:55: <Goatwright> Waakanti's nostrils flare somewhat, but he concedes to the less disgusting half-orcs. "I will wait until we have finished our business, then, should your impressions of my standing not be damaged by this decision."
193202:33:18: <Benedict> "<Wise Women, grant me the patience to not shoot myself with my musket.>" Nurel complains in his native language.
193302:33:48: <Benedict> "Nurel think tribe should quiet and get dwarf information from town tribe. Yes? Yes, Nurel thinks is good. Tribe goes now."
193402:33:51: <NachtRuine> "We are leaving to gather information. Feel free to follow, should you change your attitude." He turns and begins to leave.
193502:34:25: <Hippocratesi> Gwyn shakes his head and makes his leave.
193602:34:38: <Benedict> "Qojo, he," Nurel refers to YOU, Qojo, "must learn when open and when close mouth. Please follow." Nurel goes to town.
193702:35:18: <viejo> 'No Nurel, don't talk like that. If they were talkin' shit to you 'bout you bein' a goblin like you're lesser. That'd be okay with you, huh?'
193802:35:44: <Benedict> "Nurel simply not care. Opinion of other matter less than opinion of self."
193902:35:58: <Goatwright> Waakanti stares at Qojo before following after Saavou and Gwyn.
194002:37:13: <viejo> 'Bunch o' fuckin' idiots.' Qojo grumbles as he follows along.
194102:37:45: <viejo> SUDDENLY BACK IN TOWN
194202:38:44: <Benedict> "Okay." Nurel looks up to the tall members of the group. "Elf and giant talk to soap. Mask talk to mage. Qojo talk to farmer. Nurel find goblin."
194302:39:12: <viejo> 'We're lettin' the guy who visibly scares the mage talk to him alone? Hmmm.'
194402:39:41: <NachtRuine> "I have given the mage a gift. He should know I have no intention of hurting him by now."
194502:39:54: <NachtRuine> "I am also curious of their progress on the pelt."
194602:40:55: <Benedict> "Mask... better with non-goblin than Nurel."
194702:42:00: <Goatwright> Waakanti beckons Gwyn over and heads off towards the town hall. "So, you must approach the female and make your desire to acquire her known."
194802:42:12: <Goatwright> "I will act oblivious, and you may then approach me and challenge me."
194902:42:25: <Benedict> With that said, Nurel leaves the group to look for that other goblin in town. He doesn't care if the goblin is not a qt lady, just be nice to have a goblin friend again.
195002:42:31: <Goatwright> "You might then defeat me in combat and win her with your display."
195102:42:52: <Rainglove> perception, nurel
195202:42:53: <Hippocratesi> Gwyn gives Waakanti a blink and then finally nods. "...Alright." They ENTER THE TOWN HALL.
195302:42:57: <NachtRuine> Saavou is fairly certain that this is not how courtship works. Regardless, he goes off to the mage house.
195402:43:22: <Benedict> 1d20+8
195502:43:22: <Dados> Benedict, 1d20+8: 13 [1d20=5]
195602:43:42: <Hippocratesi> So uh
195702:43:47: <Hippocratesi> is the pretty girl around
195802:44:11: <NachtRuine> He knocks upon the magic-infested building's door, removing his mask as he does so.
195902:44:25: <Goatwright> Waakanti enters a few minutes after Gwyn, and then does his best to look preoccupied.
196002:47:48: <Rainglove> Nurel, it takes a whole lot of goddamn looking, but you do find another goblin. Unfortunately it is not the qtpi of your dreams, but an older male, hammering away at a dagger in the forge
196102:48:18: <viejo> Qojo checks up on the farmer to see if he's oka- TO SEE IF THERE'S COMBAT LURKING IN THE SHADOWS.
196202:49:08: <Rainglove> fuck you qojo there is too much going on for you to be picking a fight
196302:49:30: <Benedict> Nurel will probably find his qtpi when he recruits other goblin tribes to join him... wait, he probably should have talked to the mage and found out info on tribe locations. Shit. Oh well. Nurel approaches the older goblin smith, greeting him in their native tongue. "<Was your tribe known for smithing? In the years before magic washed over the world, my tribe
196402:49:34: <Benedict> was known for gunsmithing.>"
196502:49:44: <Rainglove> Saavou, the same mage answers the door. He recognizes you and seems slightly taken aback, but he opens it the rest of the way. "Hello?"
196602:49:48: <Rainglove> it being the door
196702:50:12: <Rainglove> Gwyn that elf is in the same place she was for waakanti
196802:50:21: <Rainglove> unfortunately, so is that dwarf
196902:50:28: <Rainglove> stealth roll babbies
197002:50:32: <Goatwright> (Rain we can totes wait it's fine)
197102:50:46: <Goatwright> 1d20+1 fug what is stealth
197202:50:47: <Dados> Goatwright, fug what is stealth: 13 [1d20=12]
197302:51:00: <Hippocratesi> 1d20+7 DID SOMEONE SAY STEALTH
197402:51:01: <Dados> Hippocratesi, DID SOMEONE SAY STEALTH: 9 [1d20=2]
197502:51:05: <Goatwright> wow
197602:51:07: <Rainglove> oh dear
197702:51:21: <Goatwright> he's too busy being boisterous and charismatic
197802:51:24: <Hippocratesi> oh no
197902:51:27: <Goatwright> like the golden stunner he is
198002:51:31: <NachtRuine> Saavou recognizes that it will take a while for the mage to get used to him. "Hello mage. How goes the research on the pelt? I trust it's been enlightening?"
198102:52:49: <Rainglove> Nurel the goblin is very surprised to see another goblin around. Like goddamn holy shit. "<Not particularly. Miners, mostly, but I made the ore into something useful. How did you come to be here?>"
198202:54:09: <Benedict> Nurel answers with raising his musket and letting a divine spell dance between his fingers. And if that isn't hint enough. "<They call what I am a gestalt. The dwarf in charge of this town was eager to recruit me and a few others. You might have seen them. A talking monkey, half-orc with a mask, a giant, an elf with a lion.>"
198302:55:23: <Rainglove> Saavou, the mage nods. "Well, we learned a little about it, but not much. Having a live one would have been helpful. From what we can tell, they used to be normal wolves, but the magic... shaped them into something else. The hides are almost armored, it's really very interesting. Like mail almost."
198402:56:11: <Rainglove> "Aside from the hide itself, there's a pretty strong arcane aura around the whole thing, but I couldn't feel it in here, had to take it elsewhere. Some kind of weird evocation magic, don't really know what that's about."
198502:57:26: <Rainglove> Waakanti and co, you are really shit at hiding. The dwarf stomps up to you, and dreams of talking to elf lady drain away. "You take care of those bandits? You don't look half-dead, what'd you do to 'em?"
198602:57:43: <NachtRuine> "Hm. Could it possibly be reproduced? May make good armor. Lighter than mail, yet just as strong." Saavou realizes that they are talking through the doorway. "May I come in?"
198702:59:02: <Benedict> Nurel thinks the other goblin must be so amazed he forgot how to talk. No matter (don't think I'm rushing you, Rain-baby). "<The dwarf doesn't seem to like our kind, though. What do you think of him?>"
198802:59:23: <viejo> Qojo asks about for anyone of notable GIRTH and FORTITUDE in the town.
198902:59:37: <Rainglove> "Sure, sure." The mage steps out of the way. "I'm not sure about reproducing it, and I'm... really not too sure about its applications as armor. Good old steel is probably better, but I'm no armorsmith."
199002:59:51: <Goatwright> Waakanti glances at Gwyn, in an attempt at covertly exclaiming 'oh shit'. "We have made a plan we are currently executing. There are hurdles to overcome."
199103:00:37: <Hippocratesi> "The giant speaks true, we are working on it." Gwyn hates talking to this faggot dwarf god damn go away
199203:00:54: <Goatwright> Gwyn is angry. Angry about DWARVES.
199303:01:07: <Hippocratesi> ALL THE TIME
199403:01:47: <Rainglove> SORRY BENNY. "<Your companions are... rather hard to miss. I've seen them. The dwarf himself is easy to understand though. He keeps those who are useful near himself, chains them down. Those he finds distasteful he drives away. I am useful, and so here I am. The others were not, and they are gone.>"
199503:02:25: <Benedict> "<...Others?>" Possibly referring to those bandits? "<Would you mind telling me of them?>"
199603:02:29: <Rainglove> At waakanti and co. "What kinda plan you need to be in here for? You looking for me?"
199703:03:55: <Goatwright> Waakanti rubs his beard somewhat. "...yes. Yes, sir. I need you to find our ape friend. I need you to talk to him in this moment. It is important."
199803:04:18: <viejo> Qojo is busy doing a backflip off the mule.
199903:04:20: <viejo> 1d20+11
200003:04:20: <Dados> Viejo, 1d20+11: 27 [1d20=16]
200103:04:29: <Hippocratesi> "Yes, it is very urgent. He's become a bit of a problem...more than usual."
200203:04:37: <NachtRuine> "Right." He enters. "Good to know you are making progress. Regardless, I am here for another reason. You do not trust the dwarf leader, right?"
200303:06:12: <Rainglove> "<Other goblins, apologies. They lived near here, hunted near here. But their appearance was less than civilized. The dwarf was concerned they would be mistaken for raiders by traders, and he drove them away with cannons and with arrows.>"
200403:06:22: <Rainglove> Roll bluff waakanti and gwyn
200503:06:28: <Rainglove> qojo you stick the landing
200603:06:33: <Rainglove> 9/10
200703:06:52: <Hippocratesi> 1d20+1 this is seriously not gonna work man i swear
200803:06:52: <Dados> Hippocratesi, this is seriously not gonna work man i swear: 20 [1d20=19]
200903:06:54: <Hippocratesi> WOW
201003:07:11: <Rainglove> Saavou, the mage looks around worriedly as you ask him about the dwarf. "I have my problems with him. I don't trust him terribly well, no."
201103:07:28: <viejo> 'Man, if this were a sport I'd be king.'
201203:07:33: <viejo> :^]
201303:07:39: <Hippocratesi> :^[
201403:07:44: <Goatwright> jesus do I even need to roll
201503:07:52: <Hippocratesi> i don't think so
201603:07:53: <Rainglove> n-no
201703:08:26: <Benedict> "<Ah. Yes. Other goblins. I heard of that. I'm not exactly fond of it. I was worried I would be the only goblin here and chased off when I was no longer useful. I am glad to see another one here. Do you know of other goblin tribes in the area? I do admit I would like to help them get civilized so the dwarf doesn't hurt them.>"
201803:09:33: <Rainglove> The dwarf looks somewhat alarmed and heads off towards the door, calling for a few other dwarves to come with him as he goes.
201903:10:03: <Goatwright> Waakanti gives Gwyn a respectful nod, then goes back to attempting to appear inconspicuous so he might perform his mating display.
202003:10:48: <NachtRuine> "Do you know of others who would share this opinion?"
202103:11:05: <NachtRuine> "Or perhaps just the town in general?"
202203:12:23: <Rainglove> Nurel: "<I know there are several who moved to the mountains, with the bandits. I haven't met them, though. Only heard of them. I know of one tribe a fair distance from here who have managed to escape the dwarf's attention for the most part, and would prefer they stay that way.>"
202303:13:21: <Hippocratesi> Gwyn is amazed at how convincing he was. He approaches the qt red head at the soap place, making sure his swagger was switched to the on position. "Greetings, kinsman. I am Gwyn, I was brought here to protect this town, you may have seen me earlier. May I ask your name?"
202403:13:30: <Benedict> Nurel marks down goblin tribe with bandits in his head notes, then presses on. "<Do you know where? Just a general direction, and a tribal name.>"
202503:15:28: <Rainglove> Saavou: "I know that the dwarf is less than popular here, among the apprentices. But from what I can tell the majority of people are apathetic at best. Inside the town he doesn't do much that's overtly terrible. People don't want to get kicked out next, and they don't care enough to speak up and risk losing everything."
202603:18:36: <viejo> Qojina
202703:18:39: <viejo> Batharlina
202803:18:46: <viejo> Xlaquimbina
202903:21:30: <NachtRuine> He grimaces. "Apathy, then. Hrm. Anyone specific that you know has issues with him?"
203003:21:44: <Rainglove> Gwyn: "I'm uh, Sira. Did you want something?"
203103:24:44: <Rainglove> Nurel: "<Sharpened claw tribe, if I remember right. You'll find them if you go west along the mountains, can't miss them. You might not have too much trouble with them, since you're a goblin, but they're not terribly receptive to outsiders at the moment.>"
203203:25:56: <Benedict> "<Thank you. Really, thank you. I'm sure with time, you'll see more goblins in town, if I can help them.>" Wait, was Nurel supposed to be asking about something else? ...Oh yeah! "<Though, convincing them with the dwarf here will be.. difficult. What does everyone in town think of him?>"
203303:26:03: <viejo> Qojo goes and checks on the farmer to see if everything is okay after the scare earlier. 'How ya doin' after that ol' scare earlier?'
203403:27:43: <Hippocratesi> "Sira." He nods. "I think you're quite beautiful, much more so than the degenerates around here. And I wish to prove my strength to you." Gwyn points on over to Waakanti. "Starting with that disgusting beast over there."
203503:28:51: <Rainglove> Saavou: "Specifically... not really. It's not something I look for people to talk with. It's an opinion I have. I would look to races he dislikes, and to people who contribute something valuable enough that they need not fear being thrown out of town."
203603:28:58: <Goatwright> Waakanti pretends to suddenly chime in! He grumbles. "Pointy-eared fool! You cannot take a man as powerful and wondrous as I! Such a threat will be met with combat!"
203703:31:03: <Rainglove> Qojolimbo, you find that farmer. He seems to be doing alright, actually. "Doing... better. I really can't thank you all enough for helping me out there. I would've lost... everything. Is there anything I can do to repay you?"
203803:32:00: <Hippocratesi> 1d20+1 Gwyn turns to Waakanti, raising his fists. "So be it!" He rushes the big evil giant and punches him right in the whatever place. (this won't work)
203903:32:01: <Dados> Hippocratesi, Gwyn turns to Waakanti, raising his fists. "So be it!" He rushes the big evil giant and punches him right in the whatever place. (this won't work): 17 [1d20=16]
204003:32:07: <Hippocratesi> how am i doing this
204103:32:10: <Goatwright> oh my god
204203:32:39: <Rainglove> well waakanti, you've been punched
204303:32:41: <Rainglove> very convincingly
204403:33:36: <NachtRuine> "Noted. That is about all I needed to ask about. I thank you for your assistance, and wish you the best of luck in your studies."
204503:33:42: <Goatwright> Waakanti takes a fist to the face, his neck cocking awkwardly. He turns back to look at Gwyn and glares at him, then grabs him by the collar and pulls him close.
204603:33:52: <viejo> 'Well, do ya have anything you can offer? If it's resources you or ya town can use then I'd have to decline, doin' fine myself.'
204703:34:12: <Rainglove> Nurel: "<He is disliked by people like us. Races he dislikes. Others... they do not care. They aren't affected by his actions and so ignore them.>"
204803:34:25: <Goatwright> "Brace yourself and then after this you must hit me as hard as you can," he whispers as low as he can. "You must trust me. For our payment."
204903:34:53: <Hippocratesi> Gwyn nods, bracing himself for Giant Fury.
205003:36:57: <Rainglove> Saavou, the mage stops you before you exit. "I'm uh... you're probably not the best person to ask, but do you know anyone or think anyone in your group might be able to help me out here? We've got a lot of people here and keeping up is... a challenge."
205103:39:14: <Goatwright> Waakanti clamps both his hands around Gwyn's head and, taking a step back with him to build some momentum, lifts him up by his head just enough to swing and slam him into the nearby wall.
205203:39:21: <Goatwright> 1d3+3 muh unarmed
205303:39:21: <Dados> Goatwright, muh unarmed: 5 [1d3=2]
205403:39:44: <Rainglove> Qojo: "Well... not really, I'm afraid. We lost a lot to those wolves and I don't know how we're going to recover. But if you /do/ need anything I can provide , let me know."
205503:41:07: <viejo> 'Nice to know, thanks. Though, puttin' it in perspective, I'm here to help you, so, anythin' you or anyone else here needs help with? Like, that's kind of my specific reason for bein' here. So, anythin' else?'
205603:41:55: <Rainglove> That is going to leave a pretty nasty bruise gwyn, goddamn
205703:43:00: <Benedict> "<Do you know a rough percentage? I am sorry for all the questions and disturbing your work, by the way. Helping our people is just hard if someone like the dwarf is in charge. What is his name, anyway? Where did he come from?>"
205803:44:09: <Hippocratesi> Holy god damn shit. Gwyn picks himself up from the ground, once again rushing up to punch that nigga right hard in his god damn face.
205903:44:10: <NachtRuine> "Well, I can attempt to learn of the arcane. Alternatively, I would figure the giant as being the most useful for you. Would you like me to ask for his assistance for you?"
206003:44:18: <Hippocratesi> 1d3+3 FUCK
206103:44:18: <Dados> Hippocratesi, FUCK: 5 [1d3=2]
206203:49:32: <Rainglove> Nurel: "<I have no percentage. It may be large, I do not know. Nobody speaks of it openly. The dwarves call him Tolay, and he came from the mountain. He was a merchant, the child of a priest and a paladin.>"
206303:51:26: <Benedict> "<Tolay.> Tolay. <Tolay.>" Nurel repeats twice in goblin and once in common. Time to see how Tolay's fellow dwarves think of him. "<Thank you, friend. I will leave you to your work. If you see me in town and need something, do not be afraid to call on me. Our kind needs to stick together.>" With that, Nurel looks for those builders from earlier.
206403:52:19: <Goatwright> Gwyn is surprised to find that Waakanti's eyes roll back into his eyes as he crumples to the floor.
206503:52:23: <Rainglove> They continue building
206603:52:23: <Goatwright> He seems to have knocked Waakanti out.
206703:52:28: <Rainglove> and are where they were
206803:53:58: <Benedict> "HOW GOES BUILD?" Nurel shouts to the dwarves.
206903:54:18: <Hippocratesi> Gwyn gives Waakanti a light kick for good measure. He turns back to Sira, a big smile on his face. "Well? Impressed?"
207003:56:19: <Rainglove> The same foreman from before waves at Nurel. "IT GO- er, it goes alright. Can I help you?"
207103:56:55: <Benedict> Nurel guesses he doesn't have to shout, so he just beckons the dwarf over. "Nurel have questions."
207203:58:00: <Rainglove> Sira is, surprisingly, still there. Gimme a charisma roll, Gwyn.
207303:58:28: <Hippocratesi> uh just
207403:58:31: <Hippocratesi> basic charisma?
207503:58:41: <Hippocratesi> 1d20+1 alright
207603:58:41: <Dados> Hippocratesi, alright: 11 [1d20=10]
207703:58:42: <Rainglove> yep
207803:59:03: <NachtRuine> "Well, I can attempt to learn of the arcane. Alternatively, I would figure the giant as being the most useful for you. Would you like me to ask for his assistance for you?"
207904:01:44: <Rainglove> Qojo: "Well, we don't really need anything I think you could provide, unless you really like building fences. I can handle it, it'll just take time."
208004:03:09: <Rainglove> Saav: "If you would, and if he might be helpful, then yes. I would be very appreciative."
208104:04:13: <Rainglove> Gwyn you have contained the spaghetti. Somehow. Sira does seem a bit... shocked, by the now-unconscious giant on the floor. "H-how uh... how am I supposed to explain that?"
208204:05:39: <viejo> 'Building fences is not my favourite past-time, heck, it's not even in my top ten, so I'll pass. If it ever creeps it's way up my interests-ranks then I'll let ya know.'
208304:06:31: <Rainglove> "I figured. Really though... Thank you."
208404:07:08: <viejo> 'Don't sweat it. I'll go expend my heroics elsewhere.' Qojo walks off to nowhere in particular.
208504:07:23: <Hippocratesi> Gwyn approaches her, leaning against the counter. I'm assuming there's a counter. "So, my beautiful Sira, shall we talk?"
208604:07:33: <NachtRuine> "I will do what I can to learn of the arcane. As for the giant, I will ask him next time I see him."
208704:12:18: <Rainglove> "About what?" She is still the tiniest bit preoccupied with the unconscious giant on the floor of her workspace.
208804:12:57: <Hippocratesi> "I wish to know your opinion on dr-er, dwarf that's in charge here."
208904:14:43: <Goatwright> Waakanti is out cold.
209004:14:48: <Goatwright> He can't even wake himself up.
209104:14:55: <Goatwright> Fucking magic.
209204:15:30: <Rainglove> "Well uh, he's been here since the town was founded and he's kept us relatively sa... are you just going to leave him there?"
209304:17:47: <Hippocratesi> "I, uh..." Gwyn glances at the 'unconscious' Waakanti. "He'll be fine. You say he's kept you all safe? He's a warrior of sorts?"
209404:19:47: <Rainglove> "Oh god no, just good at organizing people. He's intimidating, but he's not much of a fighter. He keeps the dangerous stuff out of the town is all. Sends out parties to push the bandits back."
209504:20:32: <NachtRuine> "I shall return upon learning more of your magic and will ask the giant for his help. Farewell until then."
209604:21:41: <Rainglove> The mage waves as Saav exits. He seems to be warming up, at least.
209704:22:25: <Hippocratesi> Gwyn tries not to giggle at 'intimidating'. "Ah yes, the bandits. We'd heard about them." He changes the subject a bit. "How do the others in the town think of him? Is there anyone else who has considerable power here?"
209804:24:02: <NachtRuine> Saav steps out. Who might be considered influential in the area?
209904:24:10: <NachtRuine> 1d20+6 KLocal
210004:24:10: <Dados> NachtRuine, KLocal: 22 [1d20=16]
210104:27:02: <Rainglove> "Well there are the mages, they're pretty big, at least the couple who know what they're doing. There's the artisan's guild, which the dwarf pretty much has in his pocket since he's, y'know, a dwarf. There's the guardsmen, but there aren't a whole lot of them. Maybe a dozen? That's why we needed your group."
210204:27:16: <Rainglove> "We uh, might need a new one after... that." She looks back at the giant.
210304:27:29: <Rainglove> Saav, you get basically what Sira just said to gwyn
210404:27:34: <NachtRuine> sweet
210504:27:39: <viejo> You sneaky fug rain.
210604:27:40: <Rainglove> artisans guild, guards, mages
210704:28:28: <NachtRuine> He makes a note to talk to the guards later. But first, he must find Waakanti. He approaches the town hall.
210804:28:37: <Rainglove> oh dear
210904:28:40: <viejo> 1d20+6 knowledge on those wolves inspecting them when they were kill
211004:28:40: <Dados> Viejo, knowledge on those wolves inspecting them when they were kill: 25 [1d20=19]
211104:28:59: <Rainglove> blahddy fockin ell m8
211204:29:13: <viejo> gimme the fakkin info ya cheeky twat m8
211304:29:42: <NachtRuine> He enters the town hall and looks about for the giant. You'd think he'd be easy to find.
211404:29:50: <Rainglove> there he is
211504:29:51: <Rainglove> unconscious
211604:29:53: <Rainglove> on the floor
211704:30:50: <Goatwright> Very unconscious
211804:30:57: <Hippocratesi> "He'll be waking up soon, don't worry about him." Gwyn attempts to block her view of the giant. "So, what is it that you do here? I'm sure you're quite influential as well?"
211904:32:17: <NachtRuine> Saav is confused. "What is the purpose of this."
212004:33:15: <Rainglove> Qojo them wolves was mejick. Something's up with their jaws, specifically their teeth, that the mages wouldn't have noticed. They're blackened, and burn to touch. You recognize faint traces of magic, and at a guess you'd say those teeth were a hell of a lot hotter when they were alive. Hellhounds? Fire breathing wolves? No idea.
212104:33:59: <NachtRuine> "Why has the giant fallen? I require his assistance."
212204:34:35: <NachtRuine> fug, question to statement
212304:35:02: <viejo> Qojo goes to the mage-d00d and mentions such knowledge findings to him.
212404:36:07: <Rainglove> Sira doesn't even into the man with the stone mask. "I uh, manage supplies for scouting parties and trading caravans." She waves at the room she was in before uh, this, which is full of carefully ordered and labeled crates. "I guess I'm the local quartermaster, if you want to call it that."
212504:36:41: <Rainglove> Magic man is interested in Qojo's repurts
212604:36:55: <viejo> Monkey man oos and ahs
212704:37:03: <Rainglove> fucking racist
212804:37:20: <viejo> THEY MADE ME INTO THIS MONSTER
212904:37:25: <Benedict> Nurel is frozen in time out of his own choice (really).
213004:37:44: <viejo> 'So whatdya make of it? Think it had something to do with the whole magical hoo-ha?'
213104:38:49: <Hippocratesi> "I see, quite an important job." Gwyn nods to himself. "...Could I ask you something, Sira? This is simply between you and I."
213204:40:26: <NachtRuine> Saavou feels ignored, and probably for good reason. He goes over to the giant. "Giant. Are you unconscious."
213304:40:47: <Rainglove> Dwarfy responds to Nural, finally. "What'd you want to know about?"
213404:41:02: <Rainglove> Nurel
213504:41:04: <Rainglove> sheeeit
213604:41:47: <Benedict> SHeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeit.
213704:41:53: <Rainglove> "What'd you uh, want to ask about?"
213804:42:34: <Goatwright> Waakanti does not respond.
213904:42:34: <Benedict> Nurel points to the town hall. His finger is good at pointing. "Tolay. Opinion of he? Heard he not like goblin."
214004:42:53: <NachtRuine> He shakes the giant. "Giant, I require your assistance."
214104:43:43: <Hippocratesi> "I need your help with something. It is for the betterment of this town, I assure you."
214204:43:54: <Goatwright> If Waakanti was not before, he is now, which Saavou can tell by the faint but sudden gasp he emits in response to the shaking.
214304:43:57: <Goatwright> But he still lays on the ground.
214404:44:12: <Goatwright> Holy shit, masked retard, this plan was given like an hour ago check your game
214504:45:39: <NachtRuine> Saavou didn't care about your romancing bullshit. He stands up and looks to Gwyn. "Let me know when he wakes." He leaves the town hall.
214604:46:29: <Rainglove> Nurel: The dwarf looks towards the hall somewhat nervously. "He's done alright by me but uh, yeah, not too fond of you types."
214704:46:29: <Goatwright> GOD FAGGOT JUST DRAG ME OUT OR SOMETHING HOLY SHIT HNNNGH WHY CAN'T I JUST TALK INTO YOUR MIND GODDAMN --Waakanti.
214804:47:08: <Rainglove> Gwyn: "What?"
214904:47:16: <Benedict> "Tolay. Bring others like Nurel to this town? Chase out later?"
215004:48:09: <Rainglove> "If he knew they were with you... he might let them be."
215104:49:08: <Benedict> "Not what Nurel mean. Before Nurel here. Tolay brings others, chase out later?"
215204:49:14: <NachtRuine> Retcon him leaving. Saavou drags the giant, straining to move him a foot at a time. "If I must... Wake you, I shall... Do it my way."
215304:49:58: <Hippocratesi> "The dwarf, your leader, he is not fit to run this settlement. He is driven by greed and that is not a trait you want in a leader. He chases out those seeking help and I...we are looking to change that. Are you willing to help us?" He tries to drive attention away from the half-orc dragging a giant man out of the door.
215404:52:12: <Goatwright> Once Waakanti feels the dirt on his cheek, he lurches up and dusts himself off. "My thanks for pulling me out."
215504:52:25: <Rainglove> "You... what? What are you asking me to do?"
215604:52:30: <Goatwright> "I must clarify I knocked myself out and did not lose in combat."
215704:53:31: <NachtRuine> "Oh. You are awake." Even without the tone, he sounds disappointed. "I am not concerned with how you got to that state, since no one else was. I ask of your assistance. You are knowledgeable in the arcane."
215804:54:33: <Goatwright> >he sounds disappointed
215904:54:34: <Goatwright> wow okay
216004:54:56: <NachtRuine> He doesn't get much opportunity to force people to wake. It's a thrill.
216104:55:09: <Hippocratesi> "Convince those who will listen to overthrow the dwarf, I can promise that this is for the best." Gwyn takes a look around. "...And also a night with you."
216204:55:21: <viejo> ALPHA AS FUCK
216304:55:30: <Goatwright> What a weird fetish. "Yes, I am." He straightens himself back up. "I did not learn very much, but I know some things. Maybe enough to help."
216404:56:12: <NachtRuine> "The mage is asking for anyone who can help. I have agreed to learn the arcane myself, and I recommended you as someone else who may help. Are you willing."
216504:57:38: <Goatwright> "I see no reason why not while I am still here. It may be payment for the favor I require."
216604:58:16: <viejo> Meanwhile the mage and Qojo are staring at each other and the sexual tension is reaching palpable levels.
216704:58:58: <NachtRuine> "Shall we go now." He begins to go, waiting for Waakanti to follow.
216804:59:08: <Goatwright> Waakanti does in fact follow.
216904:59:24: <NachtRuine> TO THE MAGIC HOUSE
217004:59:30: <Goatwright> AWAY.
217104:59:50: <Rainglove> "Y- What?" She seems more weirded out than outright offended. "You knocked a giant unconscious outside my office and now you want me to plot to overthrow the governor and... what?"
217204:59:57: <Rainglove> She UGH can't even
217305:00:13: <Goatwright> She's being so raped right now.
217405:00:20: <Hippocratesi> Am I gonna have to pull out my +1 diplomacy
217505:00:23: <Hippocratesi> gosh
217605:00:24: <Goatwright> Why can't he respect her boundaries?
217705:00:32: <Rainglove> You arrive at the magic house and interrupt qojo and the mageman's sexual tension
217805:00:44: <Hippocratesi> 1d20+1 PLEASE LIKE ME
217905:00:45: <Dados> Hippocratesi, PLEASE LIKE ME: 19 [1d20=18]
218005:00:47: <Hippocratesi> GOD
218105:00:47: <NachtRuine> Saav knocks once again, inadvertently messing with sexual tension.
218205:00:48: <Hippocratesi> DAMN
218305:01:18: <Hippocratesi> "Trust me."
218405:02:35: <viejo> Qojo bats his eyelids.
218505:04:12: <Rainglove> Gwyn's elfen waifu is... persuaded. "Well... what were you planning, exactly?"
218605:05:50: <Rainglove> Mageman opens the door, breaking off from the competition to see who can make who cum with their eyes first. "He- Oh, hi again."
218705:05:52: <Goatwright> this is goddamn amazing I swear to christ
218805:06:11: <viejo> >'He-
218905:06:12: <viejo> god damn
219005:06:26: <Goatwright> "I am here to help."
219105:06:41: <NachtRuine> "I have brought the giant. Unfortunately, I have yet to learn of the arcane just yet. I require more time." A joke.
219205:07:30: <Goatwright> Waakanti doesn't get it
219305:07:35: <Goatwright> What a fucking weirdo this guy is.
219405:07:56: <NachtRuine> One day people will appreciate his humor.
219505:08:24: <viejo> 'We were just talkin' 'bout those wolves we encountered earlier. Something odd goin' on with them.'
219605:08:30: <Hippocratesi> "We have nothing set in stone yet but we will soon. I'll come back with information when I can. For now, just convince as many of the people as you can. I cannot thank you enough for, Sira, I am truly grateful." Gwyn starts to turn to leave but remembers something. "Ah right. Tonight, you and I? You never gave a definitive answer." He smiles.
219705:08:33: <Hippocratesi> How is this working.
219805:08:42: <Rainglove> "Oh... thank you, of course. Come in, come in." The door, it is opened.
219905:08:54: <viejo> Who's replying?
220005:08:56: <viejo> The mage, or Sira?
220105:08:57: <Goatwright> Waakanti ducks into the small shit shack.
220205:08:57: <Benedict> Nurel wishes there were goblin qts for him to flirt with.
220305:08:58: <viejo> :^]
220405:09:01: <Rainglove> mageman faggot
220505:09:15: <Hippocratesi> hyuck
220605:09:16: <viejo> Mageman's door is open? Gross.
220705:09:27: <NachtRuine> Saav enters the magic house.
220805:09:29: <Rainglove> qojo probably opened it with his goddamn staring contest
220905:09:38: <Hippocratesi> for this* fug
221005:10:16: <NachtRuine> He notices Qojo at the magehouse as well. "Oh, hello."
221105:10:29: <Benedict> Nurel waves in the dwarf's face. "Tolay bring others, chase out later?"
221205:10:36: <Rainglove> Gwyn: "Are you going to be knocking more people unconscious?"
221305:11:33: <viejo> 'Yo. What're you two doin' here?'
221405:11:44: <Hippocratesi> Gwyn chuckles. "Hopefully not."
221505:12:21: <Goatwright> Gross. "I was told to come."
221605:12:21: <NachtRuine> "We have come to assist the mage in his work.
221705:12:51: <Rainglove> keep that shit to yourself waakanti nobody cares what gwyn tells you during your special bondage time
221805:13:29: <viejo> 'Farmer didn't offer up anything interestin', came to talk 'bout those wolves.'
221905:13:58: <NachtRuine> "Have you found something new regarding the wolves?"
222005:14:38: <viejo> Qojo relays the earlier info; 'Qojo them wolves was mejick. Something's up with their jaws, specifically their teeth, that the mages wouldn't have noticed. They're blackened, and burn to touch. You recognize faint traces of magic, and at a guess you'd say those teeth were a hell of a lot hotter when they were alive. Hellhounds? Fire breathing wolves? No idea.
222105:14:54: <Rainglove> Nurel: "Not that I know of, we haven't been here too long though. He generally keeps people he needs around, and we haven't been here long enough to stop needing people."
222205:16:07: <Rainglove> The mage gestures towards Waakanti. "So um, what's your training? Enchantment?"
222305:16:09: <Benedict> Nurel is not sure why he thought he could get useful info out of the dwarves. Of course they would be living easy. "Nurel good. Sorrow for bad Common. Hope paper help he work." With that, he leaves, disappointed in himself and his poor communication skills.
222405:16:13: <NachtRuine> "Their teeth were hot. Interesting. Warrants further study."
222505:17:35: <viejo> 'I've got basic knowledge on most things, one of the pros of a privileged background.' He says this last part with some distaste.
222605:18:32: <Benedict> Nurel buys more paper from the merchant from earlier and takes a seat somewhere nice and quiet, seeming like the shy boy in a classroom. He then plans out the design for a future WEAPON. Rainglove, making first attempt at learning advanced weapon design. Engineering time.
222705:18:34: <Dados> Benedict, 1d20+4: 14 [1d20=10]
222805:18:34: <Benedict> 1d20+4
222905:19:09: <Goatwright> "Informal and nonspecific. I was trained as a shaman, and was tasked as the only one with any knowledge of magic in my tribe. I had to know enough."
223005:19:26: <Rainglove> Gwyn: "Sure." She doesn't sound at all confident about that very short sentence.
223105:19:54: <Rainglove> well nurel, that's not a particularly good roll, but it's enough to get started
223205:20:17: <viejo> 'Broad and encompassing. Sure, you might know more in one or two areas, but I know more in general. Books are wonderful thangs.'
223305:20:48: <Hippocratesi> Gwyn shrugs, it's a 'yes'. "All will be well, Sira. I shall see you later." He leaves the town hall and has no idea where the fuck everyone is.
223405:21:09: <Rainglove> The mage seems less than thrilled at hearing this. "Well, uh... we can still use you, I think. Have you ever trained anyone in anything magical?"
223505:21:18: <NachtRuine> Saav frowns behind his mask. A privileged person. Reminds him of... No, focus on present and future, no past, no past.
223605:21:30: <viejo> 'Can ya sense any magic in me?'
223705:21:44: <Rainglove> that was directed at waakanti you nonmagical fuckface
223805:21:53: <Hippocratesi> way to be rude
223905:21:55: <Goatwright> lel
224005:22:06: <viejo> pteroREDACTyl
224105:22:37: <Goatwright> "I have not. However, I, er..."
224205:22:41: <Benedict> Nurel works on the first design for what he will call the Blackened Tooth. Not even half-way through and he can see some serious design flaws in the weapon, but remove those, and everything else looks solid. Nurel makes notes in Goblin on a different page about what to work on.
224305:22:44: <Goatwright> Waakanti seems to clam up a bit as his brow furrows.
224405:23:05: <Goatwright> "I might have somebody who can, in a sense, help."
224505:23:09: <Goatwright> "I suppose."
224605:23:14: <Benedict> Nurel is happy by his lonesome. No autists. No scary mask people. No giant racists. If only there were other goblins need him.
224705:23:17: <Benedict> Nurel wishes he was home.
224805:23:26: <Benedict> near him*
224905:23:44: <Hippocratesi> Gwyn suddenly remembers that someone was meant to talk to the mages, perhaps they're there? WHO KNOWS? He goes forth.
225005:23:48: <Rainglove> "Someone like...? Are there more of you?"
225105:23:58: <Rainglove> Gwyn arrives forth
225205:24:00: <viejo> Someone like him? Qojo hopes not.
225305:24:05: <viejo> Two giant racists are enough for him.
225405:24:21: <Hippocratesi> There is only one giant racist there :^]
225505:25:15: <NachtRuine> #rekt
225605:25:56: <Hippocratesi> Gwyn walks into the building, assuming the doors open. He conveniently spots the others! He walks over, most likely being completely useless in this situation but he stays regardless.
225705:25:56: <Goatwright> kek
225805:26:30: <viejo> Qojo regards him with a frown as Gwyn just slips inside the door and doesn't introduce himself.
225905:26:58: <Hippocratesi> mageman and elfbeard have met before
226005:27:02: <Hippocratesi> i-i think
226105:27:15: <viejo> I meant greetings. My bad.
226205:27:32: <Goatwright> "Well, hrm. Do you have any incense?"
226305:28:06: <Goatwright> "And a live..." He tries to think of the word. "Large round bird?"
2264
22652014-09-03
2266
226702:26:14: <Rainglove> EVERYONE IS ONCE MORE IN THE HOUSE OF THE RISING MAAAAAAAAAGE
226802:26:37: <Benedict> NUREL IS NOT, FUCK OFF. HE'S DRAWING GUNS.
226902:26:48: <Goatwright> THE OOOOOOOOOOOOOOONLY THIIIIIIIIINGS A MAAAAAAGE NEEDS
227002:27:09: <Goatwright> IS A SPELLBOOOOOOK AND A BUUUUUUCK
227102:28:20: <Dados> Viejo, Can Qojo find Garret's nose?: 16 [1d20=5]
227202:28:20: <viejo> 1d20+11 Can Qojo find Garret's nose?
227302:28:41: <Rainglove> no
227402:28:56: <Benedict> Does Garret's nose even exist in this setting?
227502:29:04: <NachtRuine> it's a relic
227602:29:05: <Goatwright> Yes.
227702:29:10: <Goatwright> It's a legendary artifact.
227802:29:18: <Rainglove> +10 to sneak, -2 to wis
227902:29:25: <Rainglove> +2 CHA
228002:29:39: <Benedict> I need that artifact.
228102:29:41: <NachtRuine> anyways
228202:29:49: <Rainglove> better get looking
228302:30:09: <NachtRuine> "What is required to summon," Saav asks Waakanti.
228402:30:09: <Rainglove> Waakanti all that shit you wanted for SUMMONING THE ANCIEEEENTS has been gathered
228502:30:18: <Goatwright> Oh groovy.
228602:30:38: <Rainglove> we are not having a mini-quest where you dig through cupboards
228702:30:43: <Goatwright> I wasn't expecting one
228802:30:45: <viejo> Or ARE we?
228902:30:49: <Rainglove> noh
229002:30:49: <Goatwright> I thought he'd just go fetch them
229102:30:50: <Goatwright> but yeah
229202:30:55: <viejo> 1d20+11 sense motive on GM
229302:30:55: <Dados> Viejo, sense motive on GM: 12 [1d20=1]
229402:31:03: <viejo> a-are you trying to s-sell me something?
229502:31:06: <NachtRuine> wow
229602:31:08: <Rainglove> Soap carvings
229702:31:23: <viejo> Have all my life's savings good sir.
229802:33:32: <Goatwright> Waakanti cracks the neck of the live chicken, using his teeth to rip open the flesh before setting it down on the ground. He stuffs the incense through the opening, lights them, then proceeds to set it down on the floor and sits beside it.
229902:34:03: <Goatwright> "It would be beneficial if you also sat. Channel your..." He looks for the words. "...people pride. Honor your ancestors."
230002:35:00: <Rainglove> the chicken smolders sexily on the floor
230102:36:10: <NachtRuine> Saav is uncertain what he means, but he does the courtesy of sitting regardless.
230202:36:36: <Goatwright> Waakanti looks appreciative, then waits for EVERYBODY ELSE'S ASS GODDAMN C'MON MONKEY ASSHOLE.
230302:37:10: <viejo> Qojo arches an eyebrow then shrugs, placing his large monkey booty on the ground. What a comfy fleshy cushion.
230402:37:43: <Hippocratesi> Gwyn calmly sits, wearing an imaginary 'I really wish I wasn't here right now' badge.
230502:37:50: <viejo> He thinks of his ancestors swinging through the trees and shitting on those below. He imagines a big wet monkey shit landing on Waakanti's stupid face.
230602:39:00: <Goatwright> He then proceeds to chant, calling upon the awful, pestering spirit of his former shaman mentor. "Yaruman, [make yourself known to us in this time. We call upon your otherworldly knowledge to aide us in this moment.]"
230702:40:12: <Rainglove> The chicken coughs and stands up, then looks around. Its head flops around rather unnervingly, and then screeches through the hole in its neck. "WHOOOOO HAS DARED TO SUMMON THE SPIRITS OF TH- Oh, god, you again?"
230802:40:31: <Hippocratesi> "This is happening, isn't it?"
230902:40:44: <viejo> "Oh hey, something interesting."
231002:41:26: <NachtRuine> How... not-spectral.
231102:41:47: <Goatwright> Waakanti was hoping he would not literally possess the corpse of this chicken. Maybe it wasn't dead for long enough. Maybe his mentor is an asshole. Who can say?
231202:42:18: <Goatwright> "Master, the mages here require assistance in the arcane."
231302:43:29: <Rainglove> "And what, you can't help them?" The chicken turns off to the side so that its mostly-detached, upside-down head faces towards Waakanti.
231402:45:05: <Goatwright> "Your knowledge of the arcane was not fully passed on to me before your parting, and our reading material was little in this regard."
231502:45:25: <Goatwright> "Had you not managed to die, perhaps I would have been taught more well."
231602:46:24: <Goatwright> He's a bit snappy today from all the HAPPENINGS.
231702:49:26: <Benedict> Nurel likes drawing guns away from the magic place.
231802:49:33: <Rainglove> The chicken of the dead silently disapproves of his grammar. "Fitting an ocean inside of a pail is more difficult than you think, short one. Have you got some way for me to not be inside a mostly dead chicken? Teaching magic requires things like hands."
231902:51:31: <Goatwright> Waakanti sighs. "If you must."
232002:52:38: <Goatwright> He picks up the possessed chicken and looks at the master mage. "Would you be willing, or shall I?"
232102:53:40: <Rainglove> The mage seems both amused and slightly disturbed. "I'm uh... less than familiar with your particular breed of magic. Please continue."
232202:55:17: <Goatwright> Waakanti looks almost as if he's aggravated by the situation, but it quickly fades as he proceeds to turn the chicken around to look at him and then bites its head clean off.
232302:55:31: <Goatwright> And eats it, incense and all.
232402:55:35: <Goatwright> And then he waits.
232502:55:36: <viejo> "This is gettin' freeeeeeaky!"
232602:57:12: <Rainglove> Fort saaaaave
232702:58:25: <Goatwright> 1d20+5 I AM STRONK FOR MEIN ANCESTORS
232802:58:25: <Dados> Goatwright, I AM STRONK FOR MEIN ANCESTORS: 11 [1d20=6]
232902:58:30: <Goatwright> WOW DAMMIT DADOS ALREADY
233002:58:35: <viejo> :^)
233102:58:47: <viejo> So quick to disappoint.
233202:58:49: <Goatwright> GOD WHY CAN'T WE JUST TEACH THIS FAGGOT MAGIC AND BE ON OUR WAY
233302:59:06: <NachtRuine> pretty sure this means he vomits a little in his mouth
233402:59:09: <Rainglove> YOU CHOSE THIS
233503:04:27: <Rainglove> Waakanti, that head wiggles all the way down. God. Damn. You manage to keep it down, somehow, and a few seconds later you feel something... pretty nasty. Something ethereal forces its way from your stomach and out your throat, and lo and behold it's a spooky ghostly looking giant climbing out of your mouth.
233603:05:07: <NachtRuine> "Disturbing."
233703:05:15: <Goatwright> Waakanti dry heaves as said giant fucking just FORCES ITS WAY FROM HIS MOUTH.
233803:05:18: <Goatwright> He does not look pleased.
233903:05:48: <viejo> Qojo slaps his hands on his knees and laughs in glee.
234003:05:50: <Rainglove> He examines his limbs, then the retching waakanti, then sighs. "Well, I suppose this'll do for now. Please try to contain your stomach."
234103:06:45: <Goatwright> "[Of course.]" He goes off in a corner somewhere to calm himself before he blows chunks.
234203:08:11: <Rainglove> The giant attempts to regain his composure and introduces himself to the mage, and MAGICAL DIALOGUE ensues
234303:08:38: <viejo> "Oh, man, nasty. You okay?"
234403:09:15: <Rainglove> the mage and the SPOOPY GIANT are now both occupied with each other and the mage would probably not notice if you smashed a window
234503:09:26: <Goatwright> "Yes." He takes deep breaths and rests his head against the wall.
234603:09:34: <Goatwright> SPOOPY MAGIC QUEST: COMPLETE
234703:09:39: <viejo> "I MEAN, considerin' the bravado with which you gnawed it off I thought it was, yaknow, NORMAL Or somethin'."
234803:09:52: <NachtRuine> "Do you require water."
234903:11:43: <Goatwright> "I am fine." Waakanti straightens himself up and tries to look a little more dignified. "We eat many things, of which are not threats. But chicken heads have beaks and skulls, and raw brains, and the incense. It is not as pleasant."
235003:11:59: <Goatwright> "Things crawling back up is especially difficult." He gestures at the giant.
235103:12:06: <Goatwright> The giant larger than him that just forced its way through his face.
235203:12:07: <Goatwright> That giant.
235303:12:12: <viejo> Qojo tosses a waterskin from his sash to Waakanti. "You, er, got a few bits, like, ALL over your face."
235403:12:34: <NachtRuine> "I am surprised you did not sever your jaw."
235503:13:03: <Goatwright> 1d20+2 wow I hate you
235603:13:03: <Dados> Goatwright, wow I hate you: 17 [1d20=15]
235703:13:09: <viejo> dados why
235803:13:10: <NachtRuine> fukn caught that
235903:13:14: <Goatwright> Waakanti catches the waterskin with FANTASTIC GRACE.
236003:13:21: <Goatwright> He has regained his dignity.
236103:13:26: <viejo> Waakanti wasn't even looking.
236203:13:31: <viejo> Just stuck his arm out and nabbed it.
236303:13:36: <Goatwright> Anime shit.
236403:13:42: <Goatwright> Waakanti is the secretprotag.
236503:13:55: <viejo> Qojo internally ooooo sheeeits.
236603:14:35: <NachtRuine> "Are giants naturally capable of dislocating their jaws." Saav is impressed by catch, but does not verbalize such.
236703:15:50: <Goatwright> "My thanks." He proceeds to clean his face with the water. "We have normally strong jaws, especially those of us from the desert. Sand worms are plated. But ghostly forms are... formable, somewhat."
236803:16:14: <viejo> 1d20+6 knowledge check on sandworms?
236903:16:14: <Dados> Viejo, knowledge check on sandworms?: 16 [1d20=10]
237003:16:18: <viejo> ehhh
237103:16:39: <NachtRuine> 1d20+11 knature+ monster lore
237203:16:39: <Dados> NachtRuine, knature+ monster lore: 12 [1d20=1]
237303:16:42: <NachtRuine> fug
237403:16:47: <NachtRuine> are they merchants
237503:16:55: <Goatwright> yes
237603:17:02: <Goatwright> digestable merchants
237703:18:47: <Benedict> They sell soap statues.
237803:19:11: <NachtRuine> Saav simply nods, fairly sure they are not merchants. Kinda. Maybe. "Are they your primary diet."
237903:20:28: <Goatwright> "Yes. Some reptiles included, but sand worms are large and will feed many."
238003:20:47: <Goatwright> He rubs this throat a bit. "Thank you again," he says as he tosses the waterskin back to Qojo.
238103:21:07: <NachtRuine> ROLL REFLEX
238203:21:17: <Goatwright> DO IT.
238303:21:59: <viejo> OH NO
238403:22:02: <viejo> IT'S OGRE
238503:22:03: <Dados> Viejo, 1d20+6: 18 [1d20=12]
238603:22:03: <viejo> 1d20+6
238703:22:05: <viejo> yee
238803:22:12: <NachtRuine> caught with similar grace
238903:22:19: <viejo> Qojo catches it just as well, if not... BETTER than Waakanti.
239003:23:45: <NachtRuine> Again, impress. "Well, I do believe your ancestor should perform as expected with regard to teaching the assistants."
239103:24:42: <NachtRuine> apprentices*
239203:24:56: <Goatwright> "Yes. Perhaps this will help him move on," he mutters under his breath.
239303:25:56: <NachtRuine> "Pardon. You mumbled."
239403:28:19: <Goatwright> "It is unimportant." He dismisses it with a wave of his hand.
239503:30:48: <NachtRuine> "Hrm." He doesn't dig further, even if he's fairly certain it is just the opposite. "Earlier, what did you mean by people pride."
239603:31:38: <Goatwright> Waakanti's brow furrows. "Being proud of the people you are."
239703:32:26: <Goatwright> "You are an orc, yes? A small one with a big brain, at least."
239803:34:07: <NachtRuine> An odd compliment. "I am part orc. My mother was human. I... Have no pride for my orc heritage."
239903:34:42: <Goatwright> Waakanti does his best not to sneer, but fails by quite a bit. "This is possible?"
240003:34:49: <Goatwright> In DISGUST, that is.
240103:35:10: <Hippocratesi> Gwyn awakens from his nap. "Mmm...what'd I miss?"
240203:35:59: <Goatwright> wow rude
240303:36:11: <NachtRuine> "Very much so. Here stands an example."
240403:36:14: <Hippocratesi> how is that rude
240503:36:22: <Hippocratesi> ya DEGENERATE
240603:38:01: <Goatwright> "Why?"
240703:40:35: <NachtRuine> "That is a long story. In an effort to make it short, I shall say that orcs have rarely treated me well."
240803:41:37: <Goatwright> "That is not what I meant."
240903:42:37: <NachtRuine> "What is your intention behind your question, then."
241003:44:27: <Goatwright> "Why would such a creature as you be conceived? You are not the same, and both do not thrive together."
2411
24122014-09-05
2413
241422:33:31: <Rainglove> The world resumes existing
241522:34:45: <Goatwright> Waakanti resumes being punished for his ancestors.
241622:35:23: <NachtRuine> Saav does a mental checklist. "It appears the last facet of the city we need to talk to would be the guards."
241722:35:29: <Benedict> Nurel resumes being alone in town while everyone is with the mages.
241822:35:43: <Goatwright> "Shall we do so?"
241922:36:18: <NachtRuine> "Yes. But first we must find Nurel. Who did we tell him to speak to."
242022:39:55: <Goatwright> "Did we?"
242122:40:01: <Goatwright> Waakanti hmms.
242222:42:55: <NachtRuine> "I am sure we told him to speak with someone." Saav ponders. "We shall look for him in the town center. He may be with the engineers."
242322:43:28: <Goatwright> Waakanti nods, and exits to go look.
242422:44:11: <NachtRuine> Saav does as well.
242522:44:29: <Benedict> Nurel is near one of the stalls in the market. Making a feeeew fine additions to the design he has on paper. Nothing fancy, just making lines clearer to see.
242622:46:27: <Goatwright> He comes up behind Nurel and nudges him with his foot. "What have you found?"
242722:48:09: <Benedict> Wow. Rude. Seriously rude. Nurel puts the gun design away, standing up. "Dwarf is Tolay. Odd name. Tribes chased out town before when become useless. Dwarf tribe okay with Tolay."
242822:49:28: <NachtRuine> Saav grunts. "Useful for him, I'm sure. The dwarf cares only to line his pockets." Contempt, contempt, contempt.
242922:50:26: <Benedict> "Nurel also... learn other thing, important only to Nurel. What mask and giant learn?"
243022:52:58: <NachtRuine> "Mages are against the dwarf. He obstructs their teachings."
243122:53:57: <Goatwright> "Gwyn won over the half-elf."
243222:54:25: <Benedict> "Mage, of course. Obvious from begin talk. Half-elf?"
243322:54:47: <NachtRuine> "W-won over." Saav sounds presumably very confused.
243422:56:27: <Benedict> The group is near the market stalls, Qojo.
243522:57:43: <NachtRuine> "Is that related to why you were unconscious."
243622:58:29: <viejo> Sometimes the little toy monkey inside of Qojo's head slams cymbals together in such an intriguing fashion that it would almost seem like Qojo wasn't there at all. Suddenly he snaps back into existence.
243722:59:24: <viejo> Where did he come from? Where did he go? Where did you come from autistic Qojo.
243823:00:04: <Goatwright> "The shopkeeper in the town hall."
243923:00:10: <Goatwright> "He has wooed her."
244023:01:11: <NachtRuine> "Wooed h - What does this have to do with anything."
244123:01:22: <Benedict> "Woo?"
244223:02:16: <viejo> "Woah woah woah, hold on, I must be dreamin'!"
244323:02:24: <viejo> The sound of autism draws closer.
244423:06:27: <NachtRuine> "He approaches. What have you done." Saav turns to Qojo.
244523:07:51: <Goatwright> "She has information regarding the dwarf. It's beneficial."
244623:07:56: <Goatwright> He grumbles at their AUTISM
244723:08:27: <Benedict> Nurel still does not understand what wooing is. He asks again, "Woo?"
244823:09:26: <viejo> "Whaddya mean, have I been makin' use of myself?"
244923:10:36: <viejo> "Don't worry lil' fella, we all have to have this talk at some point or other." Qojo squats down to more of an eye level with Nurek. "Y'see, when a man and a woman love each other very much..."
245023:11:24: <NachtRuine> "Do not treat him as a child." He turns to Nurel. "He has courted another for the purposes of procreation."
245123:13:04: <Benedict> Nurel understands the word "procreation" and thus learns what Waakanti meant. "Nurel thanks." He says to Saav, then peers at Qojo. "Yes. Nurel not child."
245223:13:10: <Goatwright> "Perhaps not procreation.
245323:14:33: <NachtRuine> "Not procreation." He again, seems confused. "Then for what purpose. I do not believe she has land to offer."
245423:15:05: <viejo> Qojo tilts his head a bit and then pulls a face. "Yeah, huh, I have trouble tellin' ages of some folk. I'm just yankin' ya leg anyway, no harm meant."
245523:17:06: <NachtRuine> "Do you woo her with the intent to gather information."
245623:18:00: <Benedict> "Is elf make harem?"
245723:18:47: <Goatwright> "Yes, for information."
245823:18:52: <Goatwright> "And no."
245923:19:31: <NachtRuine> "Do you have any information to show for this."
246023:20:44: <viejo> "How'd he woo her then? Maybe a romantic poem and some flowers?"
246123:22:39: <NachtRuine> "That is not of our concern. Our concern is whether he has information from this." He turns to Qojo. "On a similar note, what have you come up with."
246223:24:25: <viejo> "What I told ya earlier really, those wolves we encountered are magical, some sort of, er, 'hellhound' if you want to be dramatic. Fiery bite that dulled after dyin'. Get the feelin' they're around because of the whole magic who-ha. Get the feelin' we might be encounterin' more mutated nasties in the future but who knows."
246323:27:05: <NachtRuine> "I reference the discussion you had with the farmer. We are attempting to assess the town's opinion of their leader, remember."
246423:28:00: <viejo> "Ah right you are. Nah, absolutely nothin' of use. Nada. Just a farmer yaknoooow." With the extended O Qojo twists his hands so they are palm-up and shrugs slowly.
246523:28:52: <Benedict> "Least Qojo tried. Nurel thanks." The goblin looks around for Gwyn. Where is that fucking half-elf.
246623:30:03: <NachtRuine> "Nothing. Not even word of mouth. I-" Saav looks to Nurel, and ponders his words. "Yes. I suppose the attempt is enough. But enough talk. We must find the wooer."
246723:30:31: <Benedict> Well, half-elf fucker. Hurk hurk.
246823:31:01: <Hippocratesi> Gwyn arrives to wherever they are, I didn't scroll up. "I am late?"
246923:31:19: <Benedict> "Little. Matter, no. What elf learn from half-elf?"
247023:32:31: <Hippocratesi> "Ah." He strokes his beard. "Sira is willing to help us overthrow the drunk. She's agreed to talk to some of the others in this settlement."
247123:32:47: <Hippocratesi> "What of you all, what do you have?"
247223:33:30: <Benedict> Nurel repeats the information he learned word for word. "Dwarf is Tolay. Odd name. Tribes chased out town before when become useless. Dwarf tribe okay with Tolay. Nurel also learn other thing, important only to Nurel."
247323:33:57: <NachtRuine> "The mages are against the dwarf, this much was already known. The others appear complacent, as they remain 'useful'."
247423:34:46: <Hippocratesi> Gyn lets the information sink in. "Fine. What is our plan for now then?"
247523:36:01: <NachtRuine> "We must speak with the guards. They remain the last facet of the town unspoken to. From there, we figure it out." Saavou, in case you couldn't tell, is a fairly big proponent of the 'figure it out' plan. Got that from his mom.
247623:36:11: <NachtRuine> 'figure it out afterwards', rather
247723:37:37: <Benedict> "Guard seem like support Tolay. Nurel think guard give advantages. Purchase loyalty. Big house. Good mates. Ignore town commands?"
247823:39:59: <NachtRuine> "It is logical. The guards protect the city. Or, they should."
247923:40:27: <Benedict> "Not protect farm. Lazy. Not care, maybe."
248023:42:59: <NachtRuine> "You have a point. They are likely run by greed, just as the dwarf."
248123:43:31: <NachtRuine> "But uncertainty does nothing for us. Let us see for ourselves." Saav looks about for where the guards might be posted.
248223:43:51: <Benedict> Lead us to the guards, Rainglove-chan.
248323:44:09: <Goatwright> Yeah RAIN.
248423:44:43: <Rainglove> GOD DAMN IT'S LIKE I SAID WE'D RP OR SOMETHING
248523:45:33: <viejo> "It was a folly trusting Tollay." Qojo winks.
248623:46:41: <Rainglove> It looks like an actual barracks or post hasn't been built yet, but you'd have heard what house they're posted in and can find it pretty easily
248723:47:10: <NachtRuine> We go there.
248823:47:22: <Rainglove> ADVENTUUUUURE
248923:47:26: <Goatwright> Yeah.
249023:47:27: <Goatwright> We go there.
249123:47:57: <Benedict> ADVENTURE TO THE GUARD HOUSE.
249223:47:58: <Rainglove> you get there. People are coming and going, but the actual door to the building is open for anyone to go in.
249323:48:17: <Benedict> Nurel goes on in!
249423:48:29: <Hippocratesi> Gwyn goes in.
249523:48:33: <Goatwright> As does Waakanti, who ducks down to fit in.
249623:49:06: <Goatwright> Any guards in that shit?
249723:49:13: <Goatwright> Anybody who looks like they're obviously in charge of said guards?
249823:49:29: <Hippocratesi> The guy without a helmet on is clearly the leader of the guards
249923:49:32: <NachtRuine> Saav goes in, cape aflutter and magestic.
250023:49:54: <Rainglove> The man in the asymmetrical armor, obviously
250123:50:48: <viejo> Qojo follows.
250223:51:19: <Rainglove> yeah, he's in there talking to one of the guards. His armor's not particularly shiny, probably because there ain't shit to shine it up with at the moment.
250323:51:29: <Rainglove> He's, shocker, yet another fairly large dwarf
250423:51:38: <Goatwright> Gross. I bet he has DWARF PRIDE and shit
250523:51:56: <Goatwright> Waakanti points him out and waits for the more socially acclimated to talk to him.
250623:52:13: <Benedict> Nurel wonders if the dwarf is from the city his tribe used to fight against.
250723:52:22: <Hippocratesi> "You there, dr-dwarf." Gwyn waves to get his attention.
250823:53:20: <Goatwright> SOCIALLY ACCLIMATED, Gwyn.
250923:53:38: <Hippocratesi> He can't read minds, you giant fuck
251023:54:28: <Rainglove> The dwarf shakes his head and waves off the guy he was talking to, then turns towards the group. "Ah, yes, glad to see you all at last. What can I do for you?"
251123:55:05: <NachtRuine> "Hello, guardsleader. How go your duties?"
251223:55:27: <NachtRuine> (make that a sentence, fuuck)
251323:57:21: <Rainglove> "Busy, as usual. I heard about that uh, rumble down by that farm. Thanks for that."
251423:57:58: <Goatwright> "We want to know your thoughts on this leader of yours."
251523:59:08: <Hippocratesi> "How much is he paying you to protect his hide?"
251623:59:39: <viejo> "Straight to the point eyyyyy no foreplay at all?"
251723:59:52: <Goatwright> Waakanti audibly groans and leans down a bit to Gwyn's level.
2518
25192014-09-06
2520
252100:00:00: <Goatwright> "Please."
252200:00:14: <Hippocratesi> "Is that not what we're here for?"
252300:00:17: <NachtRuine> This could be suspicious. Saav covers. "Yes, some of us are considering becoming a guard for ourselves."
252400:01:47: <Rainglove> "Uh, he seems alright. Little aggressive, but he lets us do our jobs. And I wouldn't worry too much about becoming guards yourselves, the pay is... pretty awful."
252500:02:43: <viejo> "Yaknow, I get the feelin' ol' mayor boy makes a pretty penny from bossin' people about."
252600:02:43: <NachtRuine> Saav's surprise is hidden behind his mask. "He does not pay you well for protecting the town."
252700:03:45: <Benedict> "Nurel wish know coin amount received for guard."
252800:03:49: <Rainglove> "Nobody really gets paid well. We're all struggling a bit. I survive, as does everyone else."
252900:04:08: <Hippocratesi> "Has no one brought this up to him?"
253000:04:44: <Rainglove> The guard shrugs. "The world blew up a year ago, I'm honestly surprised we've recovered as quickly as we have. Things've been slowly improving, no reason to think they won't keep doing that."
253100:05:11: <viejo> "Improving for who though? The people or this mayor of yours?"
253200:05:41: <Rainglove> "Considering everyone was either holed up in that godforsaken mountain or living in the mud, I'd say everyone."
253300:06:31: <NachtRuine> "Fair enough. Why was there no guard presence regarding the farm incident?" He tries to word it without contempt.
253400:07:24: <viejo> "Alright alright so it's been well so far, ya don't think there's a just bit of power hungriness in him though? 'Cause, between you and me bud, I don't think he gives a damn 'bout any of you folk. I mean, sure, as tools to get him somewhere, but not as people."
253500:08:31: <NachtRuine> "Enough. We know his opinion at this point. No use poking."
253600:08:46: <Dados> Viejo, Sense motive. Is he a BUSTA?: 27 [1d20=17]
253700:08:46: <viejo> 1d20+10 Sense motive. Is he a BUSTA?
253800:09:12: <Hippocratesi> jesus christ
253900:09:26: <viejo> What's his god damn favourite colour?
254000:09:29: <Rainglove> "We got a lot to guard, and we're a bit... understaffed. People're tired."
254100:09:55: <Rainglove> Well sheeeit
254200:10:26: <Rainglove> you get the feeling he does actually care about the town, and that while he isn't quite as set against the dwarf as you are he knows he has his issues.
254300:10:49: <Benedict> What a good dwarf.
254400:11:00: <NachtRuine> 1d20+11 fuck it i shall sense as well
254500:11:00: <Dados> NachtRuine, fuck it i shall sense as well: 20 [1d20=9]
254600:12:04: <NachtRuine> (ill presume i got the same thing) "This conversation was very enlightening. Thank you, guardsleader."
254700:12:07: <Benedict> Nurel pulls on Saav's... pants? Dress? I forget what Saav wears, but Nurel wants to whisper something.
254800:12:29: <NachtRuine> Saav looks down and kneels. "Yes."
254900:13:23: <Benedict> Nurel looks to the dwarf guard, then whispers to Saav. "Guard know pass bandits result of Tolay removing good tribesman from town? Town problems cause by Tolay."
255000:14:54: <NachtRuine> Saav thinks about this for a while, trying to figure out what he's saying firstly. Then he gets it and stands up. "One more thing, guardsleader. What do you know of the bandits in the pass?"
255100:18:21: <Rainglove> "We've had some trouble with them. We were hoping you lot would take care of them, which you uh... are doing, right?"
255200:19:28: <NachtRuine> He knows as much as the commoner on the street, then. "Yes, simply trying to get as much information about them before then."
255300:20:51: <NachtRuine> "If that is all you have on them, then I believe we are done."
255400:22:45: <Rainglove> "... Alright. If you, uh..." He looks at Qojo. "You're goddamn terrible at this, by the way." He makes sure the other guards are occupied, then lowers his voice and returns to Saav. "If you could let me know if you're planning on heating things up... Change would be good. But I don't want you hurting these people in your quest for glory."
255500:23:47: <Goatwright> Waakanti decides to interject into this! He is the NOMADIC WARRIOR type. He can relate. So he whispers back, "Our plan has been to discuss with others their similar opinions in hopes such a turnout is not the case."
255600:24:31: <Hippocratesi> "We intend no harm to come to those in this settlement."
255700:24:55: <NachtRuine> Saav's surprise is noticable even with the mask now. He quiety replies, "I intend to start a fire that not even the oceans can extinguish. But the common person shall find warmth, not brimstone."
255800:25:34: <Benedict> "Nurel wish for guards to make sure tribe safe. Nurel, mask, giant, elf, Qojo deal with Tolay?" Nurel whispers to the dwarf and his fellow ADVENTURERS.
255900:26:04: <NachtRuine> "I give you my word and my life. Should we do anything to harm the innocent, then I give you clearance to strike me down."
256000:26:53: <viejo> Qojo laughs at the brutal honesty. "Terrible? At what? Jus' makin' idle conversation yaknoooow." He grins.
256100:27:39: <viejo> "Fuck me, 'I intend to start a fire that not even the oceans can extinguish'? Is that supposed to be ENCOURAGING?"
256200:28:11: <NachtRuine> "In a world of ashes, it is."
256300:28:24: <Benedict> "Mask not great at speech."
256400:28:26: <Goatwright> "Your dramaticness is unnecessary."
256500:28:35: <Goatwright> "Please hold it in for threatening as you have before."
256600:29:42: <NachtRuine> He frowns behind his mask. "Very well. Forgive me and my way of speaking."
256700:30:35: <Rainglove> The guard is clearly not comforted by this. "I just want somewhere safe for people to live. This place's got its flaws, but it's livable. If you intend on turning it upside down and starting your... crusade, we have a problem."
256800:31:25: <Goatwright> Waakanti gives everybody a good solid LOOK. Except for Nurel. Nurel has been the least awful this whole time. "There is no crusade. We are simply doing what is best for your community."
256900:31:50: <Goatwright> "He is a threat from the inside."
257000:32:33: <viejo> "Look, however oddball we come off as, we have people's intentions at hearts yaknow. I'm tellin' ya, that mayor of yours is bad business. It may be alright now but he simply wants power in this new world, and he wants to shut out others who pose any resistance."
257100:33:00: <Benedict> "Nurel wish for safe place for all. Nurel's people. Dwarf's people. Qojo's people. All people. This place will be safe. Nurel swear, but Nurel must remove Tolay. Guard help?"
257200:33:21: <NachtRuine> Saav personally disagrees with this 'not crusade' business, but will go along with it for now. "Yes, we require as much assistance as possible."
257300:33:27: <Hippocratesi> "I simply don't like him."
257400:34:39: <viejo> "My people? Boy oh boy, you don't wanna know 'bout my people."
257500:35:37: <Benedict> "Tell Nurel later. Focus on Tolay."
257600:35:51: <viejo> "Anyway, we don't want to cause any harm, but there needs to be change for the good of the people."
257700:38:17: <Rainglove> The dwarf continues not to be comforted, and he enters supersrs mode. "I won't tell Tolay what you're doing, and I can even keep the guard from being wherever you are if you let me know when. But if you do this wrong, and if you get people killed, gestalt or not you're not going to be here much longer."
257800:39:28: <Hippocratesi> "Fine by me."
257900:39:57: <Benedict> "If Nurel fail, Nurel lay down musket so dwarf can hang."
258000:41:27: <Goatwright> "Agreeable."
258100:41:38: <NachtRuine> "By the word o - " Draaamaaaa. "Very well."
258200:43:28: <viejo> "We appreciate that and, this is just a thought is all, wouldn't there be less likelihood of violence if you were there showin' support? Wouldn't be any 'call the guards' it'd be all 'oh damn the guards are already here.' You er, get what I mean."
258300:45:03: <Rainglove> "No. I can't promise everyone'll just stand by while you do... whatever. And I don't want to fight the people. You want to lead, you lead. If you need fifty swords to do it, maybe you shouldn't."
258400:45:28: <Benedict> "Just protect town people and keep guard away, please."
258500:46:05: <viejo> "Didn't say 'be our personal army,' just thought the leader of the guards might have some sway on changin' things for the better. Might even be some other people of importance we could get along."
258600:46:35: <NachtRuine> "Wise words."
258700:47:54: <viejo> "Five weirdos confrontin' the mayor is somethin', five weirdos and some of the town's own important people speakin' to them and showing it's in their interest, well, might be a much better idea and not lead to fifty swords having to be drawn."
258800:51:39: <Rainglove> "And what if half of those swords don't want you kicking the mayor out? Maybe some of them'll just stand there, but some of them won't. And what do you think the people're gonna do when the guards start killing each other?"
258900:53:48: <Goatwright> "This is a fair point, I am afraid to admit."
259000:53:55: <Benedict> "Do half swords know mayor removes tribesman when no longer useful to Tolay?"
259100:54:51: <Benedict> Should I diplomacy that?
259200:55:01: <viejo> YES
259300:55:13: <Benedict> 1d20+8 Time to roll a fucking 1.
259400:55:14: <Dados> Benedict, Time to roll a fucking 1.: 22 [1d20=14]
259500:55:19: <NachtRuine> yeeeee
259600:55:36: <viejo> yeee
259700:56:39: <Rainglove> "... I might be able to be there, myself. But I can't bring the entire guard. Maybe two or three people."
259800:57:18: <Goatwright> "This will suffice."
259900:57:37: <viejo> "That's absolutely peachy. It's for the best."
260000:57:39: <Benedict> "Make sure other guard protect town people. Nurel thanks. Gods bless."
260100:57:43: <NachtRuine> "Perfectly enough. In fact, it's more than expected. We thank you, guardsleader."
260200:58:20: <Rainglove> He does not look as happy with this outcome as you are, but he nods and turns back to his work.
260300:58:59: <viejo> "Didn't think that'd fly. Huh." Qojo stops buzzing for a moment and scratches his head. "Shall we go ask some other people? Like the lead mage?"
260400:59:12: <viejo> "Leader of the guards is a pretty big ally to have on our side."
260500:59:35: <NachtRuine> "Yes, I agree. Let us make haste. Big work is ahead of us."
260601:01:38: <NachtRuine> TO THE MAGE HOUSE?
260701:02:03: <Benedict> Nurel is going to the mage house because he feels SO GOOD about his successful diplomacy.
260801:03:15: <NachtRuine> Saav, while on the way, tells Nurel, "Very nice work. We would not have his support without your help."
260901:04:18: <Benedict> "Mage easy. Nurel can be quiet."
261001:04:24: <viejo> SUDDENLY THEY'RE THERE. "Hey, you got a minute?"
261101:04:27: <Goatwright> Waakanti fumbles along.
261201:04:43: <Hippocratesi> Gwyn wants to get this shit over with.
261301:05:08: <Rainglove> BAM HOUSE WOAH MAGE OPENS DOOR "Sure, what's up?"
261401:05:35: <Benedict> Nurel, the most lawful of goblins, fuck you Rainglove, keeps quiet and lets the people who actually know Common do the talking.
261501:05:48: <viejo> "We were wonderin' if you'd be interested in assisting us with somethin'. We think it'd be for the good of the town, and you'd be a good influence there. Think it might even be in your interest, too."
261601:06:09: <Benedict> Oh wait, maybe he should talk if fucking Qojo is going to do it.
261701:06:36: <viejo> Oh jee I'm sorry for trying to FUCKING GET SOMEWHERE IN A REASONABLY TIME FRAME
261801:06:53: <viejo> REASONABLE*
261901:06:55: <Benedict> QOJO IS A SHITTY DIPLOMAT. STICK TO YOUR KNOWLEDGE.
262001:07:31: <viejo> Then other people god damn HURRY ALONG AND GET IT OGRE WITH
262101:08:09: <Rainglove> "... I get the feeling I know what kind of assisting you're talking about. I uh... I don't really have any great desire to be murdered in my sleep, as much as I'd like to help you."
262201:08:50: <Benedict> "Guard dwarf is helping. Risk small."
262301:09:07: <NachtRuine> "We have the support of the guardsleader."
262401:09:53: <viejo> "Yeah, I mean, the /head of the guards/ is in on it. The more people of importance there who can speak for the good of the town the less likely there'll BE any bloodshed. We certainly don't want any blood spilled."
262501:10:58: <Rainglove> "No, I mean... you know what it's like for us arcane types right now. I think. Look at where we are." He waves at the really too small house on the edge of the town. "We're out of the way and non-threatening. What're people gonna think if they see /me/ up there helping toss out the dwarf?"
262601:11:26: <Benedict> "With guard dwarf? New day."
262701:11:51: <viejo> "We change the views of the people that day. Needs to be change."
262801:12:07: <viejo> "You don't want to be thought of us, hm, dirty, any more, do you? When you and your apprentices are tryna do their best?"
262901:12:30: <Goatwright> "I provided you with aide," Waakanti says simply
263001:12:37: <Goatwright> "It would be gracious to return the favor."
263101:12:53: <Benedict> Wow, these people suck at diplomacy.
263201:13:21: <Hippocratesi> "Stop being a coward and fight. Do you intend to simply stay in this terrible home forever?"
263301:13:37: <viejo> Qojo shrugs and nods. "Or, that. That works, too."
263401:13:40: <Benedict> Nurel covers his face with his not-musket-holding hand.
263501:13:44: <NachtRuine> Saav sighs. This certainly isn't going to help.
263601:14:13: <Rainglove> "That'd be nice, but I don't think staging a rebellion would help my image. And... You did. But look at what you're asking for. You want me to show up at your overthrowing the dwarf. You want the only semi-competent mage in town to show up and... what? Stand around threateningly? What if they think I'm there to blow them up if they say anything?"
263701:14:53: <Rainglove> you could try rolling diplomacy again
263801:14:54: <Rainglove> or y'know
263901:14:56: <Rainglove> bluff 'im
264001:15:10: <Hippocratesi> 1d20 "Prove them wrong." (THIS WON'T WORK)
264101:15:10: <Dados> Hippocratesi, "Prove them wrong." (THIS WON'T WORK): 4 [1d20=4]
264201:15:13: <Hippocratesi> IT DIDN'T WORK
264301:15:15: <NachtRuine> "My friend. What we are offering is a choice. You may either sit here and do nothing. Nothing will change. Or you can stand with us, and things will change for the better."
264401:15:17: <viejo> "We don't /want/ to be threatening, that's the thing. We want it to go as smoothly as it can, and we think you, as the head mage here, would be a good influence."
264501:15:17: <NachtRuine> 1d20+1
264601:15:17: <Dados> NachtRuine, 1d20+1: 7 [1d20=6]
264701:15:20: <NachtRuine> fug
264801:15:21: <viejo> god damn
264901:15:37: <Benedict> "Nurel make swear. Help tribe, tribe help bring mages out of house to public. Also make house bigger. Magic school."
265001:15:39: <Benedict> 1d20+8
265101:15:39: <Dados> Benedict, 1d20+8: 23 [1d20=15]
265201:18:40: <Rainglove> "How can you guarantee that this will go over well?"
265301:19:12: <Benedict> "Guard keep townspeople inside, also joining us with two others. Elf recruiting half-elf inside Tolay building."
265401:19:19: <Benedict> Joining tribe*
265501:21:41: <Benedict> Mage-chan sure is quiet.
265601:22:31: <Rainglove> mage-chan is THINKING
265701:22:38: <Benedict> STOP THINKING, MAGE-CHAN.
265801:22:39: <Benedict> BAKA.
265901:22:51: <Goatwright> B-BAKA
266001:23:42: <Rainglove> mage chan shakes his head. "I'm just... what is it, exactly, you want me to do here? Just show up?"
266101:24:30: <Goatwright> "Yes."
266201:24:35: <Benedict> "Show with tribe, yes. If possible, can convince Tolay to step down. No fight. No blood. Nurel maybe able do that."
266301:25:02: <NachtRuine> "He has a way with words."
266401:25:06: <Benedict> OH RIGHT, GWYN. Nurel looks up to the golden faggot. "Tell half-elf plan."
266501:26:31: <Hippocratesi> Gwyn nods to the tiny green degenerate. "Right." He leaves and goes to the town hall. Oh fuck, what was the plan?
266601:26:57: <Benedict> Something involving fucking the half-elf, probably.
266701:27:10: <Hippocratesi> Right right, of course.
266801:27:39: <Rainglove> "I can be there. If you need me to speak... we'll see. But I can be there."
266901:27:54: <Rainglove> Gwyn, you locate your waifu. Fortunately for you, Tolay seems to be out.
267001:28:45: <viejo> "That's great, really. It means a lot."
267101:29:07: <NachtRuine> "Yes, we are gracious of your support."
267201:29:09: <Benedict> Nurel bows his head to the mage. "Nurel thanks. Gods bless." Oh wait, Nurel should seal the deal. He takes off a glove and bites off some skin on his hand, causing it to blood. He then holds it out for the mage. It's a goblin thing. "Nurel swears. Mage get better life. Mage get better home."
267301:29:56: <viejo> And Nurel was the seemingly okay one. And now this.
267401:30:44: <Hippocratesi> "Sira! I have fine news." The golden racist approaches the counter. "We've managed to get the town guard on our side- most of them. How goes your efforts?"
267501:31:13: <Benedict> Stop disrespecting TRADITIONS, Qojo.
267601:32:08: <Rainglove> The mage eyes Nurel, pulls a /very/ small knife from his robe and slices his palm. He flexes his fingers, then shakes Nurel's hand. "If this fails, I'm dead. I hope you realize that."
267701:32:34: <NachtRuine> "It won't."
267801:32:35: <Benedict> "Nurel will die first before allowing he to die."
267901:33:40: <Rainglove> Sira looks up from whatever she was doing. Probably bookkeeping shit. Nerd stuff. "The wealthier dwarves are probably not going to go along with you too easily, but the other races... you might have a shot. I'm not sure about the commoners."
268001:34:21: <Goatsmith> Waakanti ponders this.
268101:34:36: <Goatsmith> "Perhaps our new friends have valuables to offer."
268201:34:41: <Rainglove> The mage seems less in fear of his imminent doom, and nods. "Alright." He pulls his hand back and the wound heals itself. "When will you need me?"
268301:35:40: <Benedict> Nurel cast Lay on Hands... on his own hand. "Will send tribeman when ready."
268401:35:41: <Benedict> 1d6
268501:35:42: <Dados> Benedict, 1d6: 6 [1d6=6]
268601:37:01: <Hippocratesi> Who gives a fuck about the dwarves bitch, holy shit. "What could they possibly offer?" He turns to the giant that he 'beat up' some moments ago.
268701:37:43: <Rainglove> The mage tugs his sleeve back down, still flexing his fingers. That arcane healing is some weird demonic shit. "I'll wait, then. Please be careful."
268801:37:48: <Benedict> "<Gods of the Blackened Toothed Tooth, if you can hear me, please lead me to victory. This town, this is the perfect place for our people to live in.>" Nurel whispers this so mage man doesn't overhear him. Fucking mages. He then looks to Saav. "Where now?"
268901:38:19: <viejo> "Hopefully this turns out best for all. Bar maybe the mayor. It's appreciated bud." Qojo leaves.
269001:38:42: <Goatsmith> "They surely have some goods from their... work."
269101:39:10: <Benedict> Nurel peers silently at the mage. He was feeling that. He was feeeeeeeeling that. Oh lawdy. "<And pray I did not make a mistake with this mage, Gods.>" Nurel whispers again.
269201:40:05: <viejo> ... doesn't the mage speak Goblin?
269301:40:05: <Hippocratesi> "You are saying we should bribe the drunks for their approval?" Gwyn fondles his beard.
269401:40:12: <NachtRuine> Since Saav isn't tuned against evilness, he turns to Nurel. "We have the guards and the mage. They have left for the half-elf. Are there others."
269501:40:33: <Goatsmith> "Dwarves are the easiest to bribe, are they not?"
269601:40:40: <Benedict> That is why Nurel is whispering.
269701:41:01: <Benedict> "Town itself?"
269801:42:10: <NachtRuine> "We would need to draft a speech to get the crowd on our side. I am... too dramatic, apparently." It's almost like he resents that comment. "So I do not know who would be best to deliver such a speech."
269901:42:26: <Benedict> "Nurel not good Common."
270001:43:26: <NachtRuine> "Are there others who speak Goblin."
270101:44:01: <Hippocratesi> "That is very true! Good thinking, Giant."
270201:44:07: <Benedict> Nurel points at the mage.
270301:44:49: <Rainglove> The mage is not at all oblivious to this. "If you don't want me to hear you, then leave. If you want me to help you, then trust me."
270401:44:50: <Benedict> "Also other goblin at smith."
270501:45:39: <NachtRuine> "You have a way with words, Nurel. If I can take your words, perhaps I can deliver the speech. Again, I do not know who else could."
270601:46:15: <Benedict> "<...Hmm. I am... far more diplomatic compared to the others in my group, as you can tell, even with my limited Common. If you do not mind, I would like you to take what I say in Goblin and write in Common, so someone else can use my words and convince the town to fight with us.>"
270701:46:41: <Goatsmith> I GUESS GWYN AND WAAKANTI ARE OFF TO THE CAMP.
270801:46:48: <Rainglove> AWAAAAAAAAY THEY GO
270901:46:56: <Rainglove> AND THEEEEERE THEY ARE
271001:47:02: <viejo> QOJO TAGS ALONG AS WELL OH HOW'D THAT HAPPEN
271101:47:09: <viejo> DOO DOO DOOOO
271201:48:40: <Goatsmith> Gross
271301:48:59: <Hippocratesi> Gwyn approaches a stupid ass bandit. "Where is your leader, Rotter?"
271401:49:03: <Rainglove> The mage considers. "<What would the speech be for?>"
271501:49:14: <Goatsmith> Also is that bandit still around with his boulder?
271601:49:55: <Rainglove> both the bandit and the boulder are gone
271701:50:01: <Rainglove> does he still have it wherever he is?
271801:50:02: <Rainglove> maaaaaybe
271901:50:25: <Goatsmith> Waakanti wonders if he will see him, but brushes it off for now.
272001:50:47: <Benedict> "<To convince the town that Tolay is a poor leader for them. That he is the source of their problems. I am not sure if you know this, but the bandits are former civilians from here who were cast out of the town by Tolay when he no longer found them useful. I don't want to use scare tactics, I don't want to say "You are next", but I do want them to know that
272101:50:51: <Benedict> Tolay is not the leader they need.>"
272201:51:11: <Rainglove> The bandit seems surprised, but it seems like he recognizes the merry band of retards. "Wh- Oh. He's er, this way." He leads you into the camp, and eventually to rotter
272301:51:52: <Benedict> IS THE BANDIT STILL HOLDING THE BOULDER?
272401:52:02: <Goatsmith> I ASKED
272501:52:24: <Rainglove> 20:48	Rainglove	both the bandit and the boulder are gone 20:48	Rainglove	does he still have it wherever he is? 20:48	Rainglove	maaaaaybe
272601:52:26: <Hippocratesi> WHEN THEY ARRIVE. "Rotter, we've come to ask for your aid in our plan."
272701:53:32: <Benedict> "<You just write what I say, okay? Well, obviously make sure my goblin talk is in Common. The masked one will be giving the speech since he is not poor with Common like I am.>"
272801:53:48: <Rainglove> From rotter: "What do you need from me?"
272901:54:15: <Goatsmith> "Do you have any valuables from caravan raids?"
273001:54:44: <Hippocratesi> "We presume you have many of them."
273101:54:57: <Benedict> "<I will start talking when you are ready to write, mage.>"
273201:55:14: <Rainglove> The mage seems hesitant, but nods. "<I can help you.>"
273301:55:41: <NachtRuine> "I will leave you to your work, Nurel, mage. I shall see if they have finished up at the town hall."
273401:55:58: <Rainglove> Rotter: "We have some stuff, nobody's really moving terribly valuable things through here though. What're you looking for?"
273501:57:04: <Hippocratesi> "We them to...convince the greedier drunks to take our side."
273601:57:11: <Hippocratesi> add a need there holy fuck why do i do that
273701:57:52: <viejo> Qojo tuts. "A bribe don't sound very /lawful/ to me."
273801:58:02: <Benedict> Nurel nods to the mage and, once the mage is ready, starts speaking in Goblin about the terrible state of the world, about what this town represents for the future, and how Tolay is hurting that future with his greed. A few inspiring words about what Nurel's group can do for them, and Nurel ends it with:
273901:58:17: <Benedict> "<Unite behind us, and we will lead this town to prosperity.>" And it is a great speech because Nurel rolled a fucking 27.
274001:58:52: <Rainglove> The mage does his best to translate.
274101:59:07: <Benedict> "<Need me to slow down? Repeat anything?>"
274201:59:19: <Hippocratesi> "It is not my fault that the drunks will take gold over their own lives."
274301:59:22: <NachtRuine> During this time, Saav has realized they are not at the town hall anymore.
274401:59:44: <Rainglove> He shakes his head, then reads quickly over the finished manuscript. "<I think I have it.>"
274501:59:56: <viejo> "Doesn't reflect well on us bribin' people. Just sayin'."
274602:00:15: <Rainglove> Rotter grins. "How many dwarves are we talking?"
274702:00:27: <Benedict> "<I'd offer to read it to make sure, but my reading Common is as good as my speaking Common. I will trust that you did well. Thank you, mage.>" Nurel wonders what kind of BONUS that speech will give.
274802:00:55: <Rainglove> we'll call it +6
274902:01:25: <Goatsmith> Waakanti turns to Gwyn for this answer.
275002:01:30: <Rainglove> The mage hands it over. "<It's a good speech, if I understood you correctly. Be safe.>"
275102:01:36: <Benedict> That means a guaranteed 26. Awwww yesh.
275202:02:07: <Hippocratesi> Gwyn looks somewhat amused. "Presumably a good number, given the town leader's race."
275302:02:18: <NachtRuine> Saav returns with serendipity. "They are not at the town hall. They must be somewhere else."
275402:02:42: <Benedict> "<It will only be called a good speech if it convinces the townspeople. And again, I do swear that I will make sure we improve the conditions of this house and improve your standing in this town.>" Nurel bows his head again, and then turns to see Saav. Perfect. Nurel hands the speech over to the half-orc.
275502:03:31: <NachtRuine> "Hrm." He looks over the speech, hands slowly shaking as he reads it. "This is a glorious speech. I would be honored to read it." His monotone betrays him again.
275602:03:51: <Benedict> Monotone hurts Nurel. "If not like, say so."
275702:04:55: <NachtRuine> "Confound this mask." He removes it. "This is a grand speech, and I ask that I be the one to read it." Now his tones return, proud emotion behind it.
275802:05:43: <Benedict> Nurel tries to look like the mature paladin he heard about from the humans and dwarves. No smiles. He fails, and his grin shows off his blackened teeth. "Nurel wish Mask to read it."
275902:05:56: <Rainglove> Saav, there is some profound divine displeasure at your comments towards that mask
276002:06:05: <Rainglove> you're not smote, but someone ain't oo happy
276102:06:09: <Rainglove> *too
276202:07:37: <NachtRuine> He feels it. He whispers to the mask, "My apologies. I did not mean to offend you, my lord." He places it upon his face once more. "I am truly gracious, and I shall do what I can to ensure it is presented as it should be.
276302:07:39: <Rainglove> Rotter thinks. "Well, as close as we are to that old dwarf cave, we've been in to the upper layers a few times. We /might/ have some lost bits of gold they'd like to get back. Some nice little golden statues."
276402:08:58: <Hippocratesi> "I'm certain that will work." Gwyn nods, just to make it clear that he is certain.
276502:09:28: <Goatsmith> Waakanti also nods.
276602:10:19: <Rainglove> "One second." Rotter turns and heads into a back room. There's some yelling, some banging, and Rotter returns with a faintly magical bag. He opens it, and you really don't need much knowledge to recognize a bag of holding with at least twenty pounds of gold in it."
276702:11:06: <viejo> "Well daaaaaaaamn. Ain't that jus' a pretty pile o' juicy moolah."
276802:11:25: <Goatsmith> "It is good to see you committed."
276902:11:30: <Benedict> "Convince town now, or wait for tribe?"
277002:12:04: <NachtRuine> "We should wait. Besides, we need to send word to the supporters. When exactly do we plan to do this, anyways?"
277102:12:09: <Rainglove> "Not a whole lot we can do with it as-is. If it gets us out of this pass... not like we can use it here anyway."
277202:12:46: <Hippocratesi> "Indeed, we will see that you do not regret this." Gwyn takes the bag from the not-so-bad degenerate's hands.
277302:13:07: <Goatsmith> He nods, then they TAKE THEIR LEAVE WOOOOOSH.
277402:13:15: <Rainglove> WOOOOOOOSH BACK TO TOWN
277502:13:25: <Benedict> Nurel thinks on it, then shrugs. "Soon tribe returns, Nurel knows."
277602:13:29: <Rainglove> BAM
277702:13:33: <Rainglove> tribe is back
277802:13:48: <Rainglove> knock knock door opens everyone gets teleported inside
277902:13:55: <NachtRuine> "I shall take your word for i - " He sees the tribe return. "Your timing is impeccable, Nurel."
278002:15:02: <Benedict> Nurel waves to the returned tribe. Hello!
278102:15:05: <NachtRuine> He turns to the others. "We have a magnificent speech at the ready to convince the masses."
278202:15:14: <Goatsmith> "We have a means of convincing the higher level dwarves."
278302:15:34: <Hippocratesi> "And that means is this." Gwyn places the bag on a table that is clearly there.
278402:15:42: <viejo> "And I discovered my true inner self."
278502:16:08: <NachtRuine> "Then we are capable of convincing everyone. We need a time."
278602:16:33: <Benedict> Nurel nods, then blurts out the first plan he has. "Convince dwarf. Get guard to get Tolay away, back to he's home, maybe. Get guard to bring people to square. Give speech so Tolay no hear. Get others. Go to Tolay."
278702:18:36: <NachtRuine> "Another idea. We can say that we have captured Rotter. He will come to the town square, where I deliver the speech, and we get him to resign."
278802:19:20: <Hippocratesi> "Sira is our best bet in distributing this gold. I shall take it to her, if there are no objections?" Gwyn pretends to wait for a response and simply walks out of door and fuck it, he's at the town hall and he plants the bag on the counter. "Greetings yet again. We've found a means to convince your drunken overlords."
278902:20:57: <NachtRuine> "What say you, giant?"
279002:21:01: <Rainglove> Sira checks the bag and her eyes widen. "I'll uh, get that where you want it."
279102:21:34: <Goatsmith> Oh, Waakanti is consulted! He is almost taken back by this.
279202:22:29: <Goatsmith> "I do not think the thought threat should be present. It can empower the dwarf."
279302:23:03: <Benedict> "Agree with giant. Leave Rotter. Bring he after town safe."
279402:24:00: <Hippocratesi> "Good! I shall see you soon." He returns to the others.
279502:24:01: <NachtRuine> "I did not say we would actually have him. But we shall go with your plan. You have yet to steer us wrong."
279602:24:06: <Hippocratesi> He also remembers he has a lion.
279702:24:23: <Benedict> Saav is a good friend to Nurel.
279802:25:13: <NachtRuine> "Shall we do this... say, high noon tomorrow. Otherwise, we might as well do it now."
279902:25:50: <Hippocratesi> "/Should/ we do it now?"
280002:26:22: <Hippocratesi> "We still have the greedy drunks to convince."
280102:27:33: <Benedict> "Half-elf need time. Bring things to dwarf tribe. Tomorrow good. Can get rest. Needed."
280202:28:43: <Rainglove> THE NIGHT PASSES AS NACHT GOES TO GET FOOD
280302:30:06: <Benedict> Did we need an inn room or did Tolay give us houses.
280402:30:20: <Hippocratesi> We sleep on the streets
280502:30:27: <Rainglove> you get inn rooms for FREEEEEE
280602:30:30: <Hippocratesi> THE NIGHT PASSES
280702:30:35: <Hippocratesi> GWYN FUGS SIRA
280802:30:37: <Hippocratesi> THE WOLVES HOWL
280902:30:48: <Hippocratesi> IT'S TOMORROW GO GO GO
281002:31:26: <Rainglove> THE DAWN HAS COME
281102:31:30: <Rainglove> THE SUN IS HIGH
281202:32:51: <Benedict> Did anyone get a good sleep last night because of Gwyn fucking Sira?
281302:33:14: <NachtRuine> Saav meditates for most of the night.
281402:33:40: <Goatsmith> Waakanti is an easy sleeper.
281502:34:27: <NachtRuine> "It is time. Inform our supporters of the plan. I shall prepare myself for the speech."
281602:35:25: <Goatsmith> Waakanti goes to talk to the guard guy!
281702:36:16: <Benedict> Nurel goes to get the mage.
281802:37:43: <Hippocratesi> Gwyn stays where he is.
281902:38:30: <Goatsmith> >doesn't even talk to her the next morning
282002:38:31: <Rainglove> The guys are got
282102:38:34: <Goatsmith> Cold, Gwyn
282202:38:52: <NachtRuine> Saav casts eagle's splendor on himself!
282302:39:06: <Rainglove> Saav becomes a graceful, elegant, forceful motherfucker
282402:39:15: <Benedict> Nurel is like that naturally.
282502:39:33: <Rainglove> maybe it's maybelline?
282602:39:34: <Hippocratesi> Clearly she's out delivering the goods, goat
282702:39:45: <Hippocratesi> h-he's a good husbando
282802:39:46: <Hippocratesi> ;_;
282902:40:02: <Goatsmith> UHUH.
283002:40:25: <Benedict> Nurel goes... where he needs to go. Probably up front with Saav as he speeches so Saav can point out the town's future leaders.
283102:40:35: <Rainglove> Everyone's assembled at wherever you are. The dwarf is studiously avoiding getting near the mage.
283202:40:41: <NachtRuine> He grasps at his chest, infusing himself with the power of the law, granting him solidarity. Touch of Law!
283302:40:45: <Benedict> Mad rude.
283402:41:27: <NachtRuine> Finally, after the preparation, he goes to make the speech
283502:42:33: <NachtRuine> 11+2(CHA)+8 (Heropoint) +6(awesome speech) +1 (Diplo) MAKES 28
283602:42:39: <Rainglove> As happens, people naturally gather around the gestalts where they appear, and with Saav being as heavily enchanted as he is he quickly draws a crowd
283702:42:51: <Goatsmith> Waakanti watches from the sidelines-ish.
283802:43:06: <Benedict> Nurel thinks his speech sounds pretty good in Common.
283902:43:16: <NachtRuine> Saavou's mask shall be a symbol! A symbol of change for the better, for the people, for the world!
284002:43:46: <Hippocratesi> Gwyn is close by as well. Watching. Waiting.
284102:46:13: <Rainglove> At first, the people are confused. But they get what's happening pretty quickly. At first there's murmuring, but as Saav launches into the heart of the speech, fueled by the power of his god and with Nurel's words to guide him, the people quiet. As he tells them of the town they could be, and of the dwarf's true nature, they begin to shift again.
284202:48:14: <Rainglove> They seem to follow Saav's direction. It isn't an angry murmur this time, but one of discontent. They know that things could be better, and that with the help of the gestalts they can make things better. As Saav finishes Nurel's written speech, the people are, for once, united.
284302:48:22: <Rainglove> Time to do what you came here to do.
284402:49:23: <Benedict> "<I must have done pretty good on that speech, mage. People seem ready to follow.>" Nurel takes some small pride in what he spoke and what the mage wrote. "<Again. Thank you. Now, let us see if Tolay will step down, yes?>"
284502:50:06: <Rainglove> The mage nods. "<It was... well written. The inquisitor does it justice.>"
284602:52:04: <NachtRuine> As the crowd roars, Saav looks to Nurel and the mage. "Thank you, my friends. Come." The mask was placed upon his chest, but now he raises it to his face. "Let us pass judgement."
284702:52:45: <Benedict> And so Nurel marches with his tribe to Tolay's place. Oh boy.
284802:53:16: <Rainglove> The people follow
284902:53:39: <Hippocratesi> Gwyn feels...INSPIRED. Maybe these degenerates aren't so bad after all. He follows the crowd.
285002:54:32: <Goatsmith> Waakanti also follows. He's fairly impressed, and even moved himself.
285102:54:33: <NachtRuine> (okay redact him putting the mask to his face, it remains around his neck) "TOLAY! THE PEOPLE HAVE MADE THEIR VOICES CLEAR! YOU ARE NOT /FIT/ TO GOVERN THEM!"
285202:58:44: <Rainglove> The door to the hall opens. Saav's speech in the middle of town was pretty hard to miss, and he's prepared himself. The people stand, for the most part quietly, behind Saav, waiting. Tolay exits, head held high. He seems... not quite resigned, but something close to it.
285302:59:38: <Benedict> Nurel feels some sorrow for Tolay. He did help build the town to how it is, after all.
285402:59:55: <Rainglove> He looks to Saav, and the gestalts, and then to the crowd behind them. "I... Alright. I won't make a speech. What do you want?"
285503:02:53: <NachtRuine> "It is less what we want, and more what you deserve."
285603:02:55: <Benedict> "If Nurel may do talking to Tolay?" Nurel asks the group.
285703:03:57: <NachtRuine> "Hrm?" Saav looks to Nurel. "I've dreamt of this moment. The moment that my destiny might be realized."
285803:04:53: <Benedict> "Mask destiny be realized. Trust Nurel. It work out."
285903:07:08: <NachtRuine> "But... I..." Saavou stops to think on it. "Very well. I must trust you. Just as you did in me." He steps back, and allows Nurel to stand where he stood.
286003:30:39: <Benedict> Nurel elects for a different approach from yelling to Tolay and decides to approach for a more normal conversation. Close enough to speak normally, not close enough for Tolay to try and attack him.
286103:31:52: <Rainglove> Tolay stays where he is, cautious of being lynched.
286203:32:09: <Rainglove> "I'm listening."
286303:33:42: <Benedict> Nurel regards Tolay with a nod. "Nurel is sorry it come to this. Nurel understand any hate Tolay have for he and tribe." He takes a moment to find the words he wants. "Nurel know Tolay exile tribesman before when no useful to Tolay. Nurel does not wish this on Tolay. Tolay might imprison enemies. Nurel does not wish this on Tolay."
286403:34:25: <Benedict> "Nurel wish Tolay to step down from leadership. Be merchant. Earn wealth Tolay want. Nurel wish for Tolay to make Nurel and his tribe," Nurle points out Saav, Qojo, Waak, and Gwyn. "New leaders of town. That is all."
286503:34:55: <Benedict> Nurel*
286603:36:08: <Rainglove> Tolay seems surprised, and then he nods. "I can accept this. Lead, then. And may you be more fortunate than I was."
286703:36:11: <Rainglove> ssssense motive
286803:36:45: <Dados> Benedict, Time to fail.: 13 [1d20=13]
286903:36:45: <Benedict> 1d20 Time to fail.
287003:37:03: <Hippocratesi> 1d20+1 what's his favorite bedtime story?
287103:37:04: <Dados> Hippocratesi, what's his favorite bedtime story?: 10 [1d20=9]
287203:37:07: <Hippocratesi> FUG
287303:37:21: <NachtRuine> 1d20+11
287403:37:21: <Dados> NachtRuine, 1d20+11: 31 [1d20=20]
287503:37:25: <Rainglove> goddamnit
287603:37:27: <NachtRuine> FUCK YOU
287703:37:38: <Benedict> Saav is always there for his buddy Nurel.
287803:39:53: <Rainglove> He's trying to save face in front of the people by stepping down graciously. he could probably not care less about how fortunate you are. You have a nagging feeling he may come back later.
287903:40:33: <Benedict> Just Saav feeling that or Nurel as well?
288003:41:26: <Goatsmith> 1d20+4 I'll feel things
288103:41:26: <Dados> Goatsmith, I'll feel things: 16 [1d20=12]
288203:41:33: <Rainglove> just saav
288303:42:20: <Goatsmith> Waakanti's face forms into one of confusion from being put into a position of leadership.
288403:42:29: <Goatsmith> But muh people! Muh quest!
288503:42:36: <Benedict> The town is your people now.
288603:42:45: <NachtRuine> Saav leans down to Nurel's ear and whispers, "He will be back."
288703:42:47: <Goatsmith> B-but
288803:42:56: <Rainglove> you could still just leave
288903:43:41: <Hippocratesi> Gwyn just wants to get his people here already, god damn.
289003:43:41: <Benedict> Nurel nods at Saav's words, then looks to Tolay. "Nurel hope he finds fortune in new profession." He then lets Tolay leave.
289103:44:20: <Goatsmith> shut up Rain god
289203:44:26: <Rainglove> Tolay takes one last look at everyone from the steps, walks down, and walks off through the crowd, who part to let him through
289303:45:07: <Rainglove> The people are still there. If you want to say something, now is the time.
289403:45:47: <Benedict> Nurel watches Tolay go, and beckons his group over. "Tribe is now leader of town." He says to the group and oh god, the people are here, Nurel didn't prepare a victory speech.
289503:45:56: <Goatsmith> Waakanti cautiously puts his fist up.
289603:46:00: <Goatsmith> And hoots.
289703:46:48: <NachtRuine> Saav does so as well. "For today! For tomorrow! Forever!"
289803:47:19: <Benedict> Nurel is going to join the idiots in hooting, then. "Bright future. For town. For world. For all!"
289903:47:19: <Hippocratesi> Gwyn sighs inwardly and puts his fist up.
290003:47:36: <NachtRuine> Saav doesn't hoot, but he does put his fist up.
290103:48:28: <Rainglove> It's not glorious, but it'll do. The crowd cheers and echoes Saav, and people slowly begin to file away, back to their lives.
290203:49:00: <Rainglove> LEVEL GET
290303:49:04: <Benedict> Nurel heads into the town hall. New HQ for the United Leadership or whatever the group is calling themselves.
290403:49:34: <Hippocratesi> first order of business
290503:49:38: <Hippocratesi> promote my waifu
290603:50:19: <NachtRuine> Saavou follows. He says to Nurel, "Were it me passing judgement, I would have exiled him."
290703:51:50: <Benedict> "Nurel knows. Nurel hope show mercy, change character. If Tolay return, if Tolay try ruin what tribe build, then Tolay receive no more chance."
290803:52:26: <Rainglove> The interior of the hall is quieter than normal. Dwarves peer out from behind doors as you enter. And, of course, Sira is back there somewhere.
290903:52:51: <Hippocratesi> gon get my dick sucked
291003:52:53: <Hippocratesi> i-i mean
291103:53:15: <Benedict> "Nurel make promise to mage about improve house. Nurel wish for builders to make better house for mage when finish walls."
291203:54:30: <Hippocratesi> Gwyn approaches Sira, a smile on his face. "I told you to trust me, did I not?"
291303:55:41: <NachtRuine> "I am going to have to look over the law books."
291403:55:47: <Benedict> Who does Nurel have to talk to to start getting orders around, gods damn. "Also need grab Rotter and work on pass. Start trade."
291503:56:06: <NachtRuine> "Shall I get Rotter."
291603:56:17: <NachtRuine> "Or perhaps later."
291703:56:36: <Benedict> "Later. Need learn what Tolay was work on."
291803:57:38: <NachtRuine> "Yes. We will probably also have to change around the finances. Fit it to make sure the town gets the brunt of the funds."
291903:58:21: <Goatsmith> Waakanti ponders what to do!
292003:58:27: <Goatsmith> This is a strange circumstance.
292103:58:36: <Rainglove> Sira laughs and proceeds to fuck, Nurel locates the construction dwarf and lays down the new construction law, Saav... does not find law books I suppose
292203:58:49: <Hippocratesi> Wonderful
292303:58:53: <Hippocratesi> the end
292403:58:54: <Hippocratesi> we win
292503:59:44: <NachtRuine> No, Saav finds law books. He sees them and are drawn to them. He embraces himself within the law. He also realizes that he is going to have to change some of the laws. But not without the proper procedures, of course.
292604:00:17: <Benedict> Nurel also wants someone to find him whatever Tolay used to plan out finances, payments, etc. What did he plan for the town in upcoming weeks!
292704:00:20: <Goatsmith> Maybe he needs to
292804:00:28: <Goatsmith> CONSULT ALL 500 OF HIS ANCESTORS
292904:02:43: <Rainglove> they all agree waakanti
293004:03:00: <Rainglove> you are the most faggot in the smallest body they have ever seen
293104:03:21: <NachtRuine> such concentrated faggotry
293204:03:31: <Benedict> Why did we make a big fag a leader.
293304:03:34: <Goatsmith> wow r00d why do you hate me Rain
293404:03:40: <Rainglove> he's a little fag
293504:04:55: <Goatsmith> :[
293604:04:55: <NachtRuine> How do the laws look? Are any of them sketchy and not just?
293704:05:05: <Goatsmith> that's it I'm quitting
293804:06:03: <Rainglove> not really nacht. This is ancient dwarven tradition, it's pretty
293904:06:04: <Rainglove> set in stone
294004:06:18: <Goatsmith> ba dum tsh
294104:06:25: <Rainglove> nothing sticks out to you as especially awful
294204:06:48: <Benedict> What about the finance books? Anything corrupt in them that Tolay put in?
294304:07:58: <Rainglove> gimme a wisdom check
294404:08:00: <Rainglove> anyone can do it

295604:08:50: <Goatsmith> eat shit
295704:08:58: <NachtRuine> :c
295804:09:09: <Goatsmith> :>
295904:10:13: <Rainglove> Well waakanti, seems like some small chunks of money have gone missing for the last few months. Not terribly much, but it does add up to a goodly amount. As for where that goodly amount /is/... you're not sure
296004:10:47: <Rainglove> as far as places significant to tolay, this is the only building you know of
296104:12:51: <Benedict> Sure would be nice to know this, but Nurel is dumb and finds nothing big.
296204:13:19: <Goatsmith> Waakanti relays this as he explores the town hall with them!
296304:13:26: <Goatsmith> And continues looking TROUBLED
296404:13:49: <Rainglove> do you think possibly
296504:13:51: <Rainglove> you might percept some things
296604:13:52: <Rainglove> maybe
296704:14:05: <Benedict> Nurel does a double-look and sees what Waakanti is saying. He curses Tolay in Goblin. "Something wrong, giant?" Nurel asks his companion and friend.
296804:15:16: <Benedict> 1d20+8 Nurel tries to... PERCEPT some things.
296904:15:16: <Dados> Benedict, Nurel tries to... PERCEPT some things.: 12 [1d20=4]
297004:15:23: <Benedict> Nurel at least didn't lose his nose.
297104:15:52: <Goatsmith> 1d20+8
297204:15:52: <Dados> Goatsmith, 1d20+8: 23 [1d20=15]
297304:15:58: <Dados> NachtRuine, I SEE EVERYTHING: 31 [1d20=20]
297404:15:58: <Goatsmith> ayyyy
297504:15:58: <NachtRuine> 1d20+11 I SEE EVERYTHING
297604:16:04: <Goatsmith> Wow fuck you
297704:16:05: <NachtRuine> lmao
297804:16:08: <Goatsmith> Go to bed
297904:16:16: <NachtRuine> no, its like 10
298004:16:31: <Goatsmith> 11
298104:16:35: <NachtRuine> 10
298204:16:37: <NachtRuine> time zones
298304:18:28: <Rainglove> ayyyy lmao
298404:19:21: <Rainglove> saav while you're all doing your walkthrough you do manage to find a fake panel in the floor of one of the storerooms that leads to some kind of cellar
298504:19:30: <Rainglove> And now is the time
298604:19:32: <Rainglove> for phat loot
298704:20:27: <NachtRuine> "What in the name of Cath'paaz." He enters the cellar. Is there a light anywhere? If not, he lights one of the candles he carries.
298804:21:02: <NachtRuine> By lights, I mean he casts Light on it
298904:21:38: <Rainglove> Gold glitters as the candle lights, and you can sense what is definitely magic down here. You're gonna need more people to clear this place out and get stuff later, but if you want to do a quick lookthrough you can roll appraise.
299004:21:43: <Goatsmith> Waakanti shakes his head. "I am unsure what to do with my position."
299104:22:03: <Dados> NachtRuine, HRRRK: 14 [1d20=13]
299204:22:03: <NachtRuine> 1d20+1 HRRRK
299304:23:48: <NachtRuine> Lookthrough initiate!
299404:25:09: <Benedict> 1d20 What's an appraise?
299504:25:09: <Dados> Benedict, What's an appraise?: 12 [1d20=12]
299604:27:12: <Rainglove> Well, you don't find a whole lot. You dig up a ring of +1 protection, a ring of feather fall, and two rings of spell storing.
299704:27:33: <Benedict> Nurel is not sure if he needs any of these rings. What about this gold?
299804:27:34: <Rainglove> The other magical items are either unidentifiable at this point or you just can't find them
299904:28:18: <Benedict> Anything that looks like a GUN?
300004:28:22: <NachtRuine> Saav picks up the ring of protection. He will take it once they've properly inventoried this hideaway.
300104:28:29: <NachtRuine> But for now he puts it down
300204:28:38: <Rainglove> Well, it is the town's money. if you want to claim some for yourself, take your 3K up to 3.5K. Hardly going to break the townspeeople's banks.
300304:29:13: <Benedict> I thought you said the 3K was Rotter's money!
300404:29:21: <NachtRuine> oh wait
300504:29:23: <NachtRuine> i cast sift
300604:29:43: <NachtRuine> 1d20+5 gonna see everything
300704:29:44: <Dados> NachtRuine, gonna see everything: 22 [1d20=17]
300804:29:53: <Rainglove> There is a gun nurel, and it's a masterworked musket which, in your very limited experience, means it /could/ indeed be magical
300904:30:04: <Rainglove> what exactly that enchantment is, and whether it is good or not, is unknown to you
301004:31:32: <Rainglove> Saav you find no traps or anything of that sort. Maybe Tolay just didn't have time? Other than that you see a lot of gold and more items with enchantments that you just can't ID at this point
301104:31:38: <Benedict> Well, Nurel can probably ask that mage in town to look at it and maybe transfar the enchantment to his rifle. His rifle holds sentimental value. "Lot gold should go back to town. Stolen by Tolay."
301204:31:54: <Goatsmith> Hello I am here to help
301304:32:59: <NachtRuine> "No traps. There's more to be found here, but we will have to do a proper inventory, to tell if this is the missing gold."
301404:33:15: <Benedict> "Why else it hidden?"
301504:34:07: <NachtRuine> "Better safe than sorry. Besides, we need to count it up anyway. Put it in the coffers of the town."
301604:35:03: <Benedict> "Should be used for town, yes." Nurel is gonna take that musket, though. Oh boy. He's the only one who can use it, but he still looks to the group for approval.
301704:36:10: <Goatwright> DETECT MAGIC
301804:36:14: <Goatwright> ERRYWHERE
301904:36:24: <NachtRuine> Saav knows he is eyeing the musket. "You can take it once we get everything on the books. Just as I plan to take one of the rings."
302004:36:53: <Benedict> Nurel nods, and returns the musket. "May belong to tribesman." The group shall continue on, yes?
302104:38:43: <Rainglove> You get the same thing saav did
302204:38:49: <Rainglove> magic items, can't ID them all yet
302304:39:09: <NachtRuine> "Actually. These might be stolen goods. These may belong to people. We would have to return them to those who lost them."
302404:40:13: <Goatwright> Can I not roll?
302504:40:21: <Rainglove> if you have appraise, sure
302604:40:32: <Goatwright> Spellcraft I-I mean
302704:40:47: <Rainglove> if you want to try
302804:40:55: <Goatwright> 1d20+5
302904:40:55: <Dados> Goatwright, 1d20+5: 18 [1d20=13]
303004:41:03: <Goatwright> not bad
303104:41:11: <NachtRuine> s-should i roll too
303204:41:27: <Rainglove> I-I Might not have all the loot picked out just yet
303304:41:28: <Rainglove> so uh
303404:42:24: <Goatwright> wow
303504:42:26: <Goatwright> o
303604:42:28: <Goatwright> w
303704:42:51: <Rainglove> you know what faggot
303804:42:56: <Rainglove> you get a goddamn knife
303904:42:59: <Rainglove> a +2 knife
304004:43:01: <Rainglove> enjoy it
304104:43:04: <Goatwright> NO GOD
304204:43:08: <Goatwright> STOP
304304:43:11: <Benedict> He's sorry, Rain.
304404:43:12: <Goatwright> I'M SORRY
304504:43:14: <Benedict> Let's just continue, yeah?
304604:43:26: <NachtRuine> Saav has decided what to do with the potential contraband. "Once we catalog everything, we will let the people tell us if anything important of theirs has gone missing to come to the hall. If the musket remains, it is yours."
304704:44:16: <Goatwright> "I suppose this is fair."
304804:45:00: <NachtRuine> "You will have your pick of items as well, giant."
304904:45:23: <NachtRuine> "But let us move on. This contraband will not go anywhere."
305004:45:28: <Benedict> "Let us see what else hall provides."
305104:45:53: <Benedict> You know what, I keep using us, Nurel picked up the word us sometime within the past two days. Yeah!
305204:46:06: <Rainglove> LEARNING
305304:46:50: <Rainglove> This is the only sooprsekrit thing actually in the hall, as far as you can tell. The rest of it is the administrative stuff you would expect. Offices, dwarves, waifus.
305404:47:26: <Benedict> But not goblin waifus.
305504:47:41: <NachtRuine> Saav is undeterred by all waifus. He is on the job.
305604:48:20: <NachtRuine> He is also normally undeterred by waifus, but especially so in this particular moment.
305704:48:53: <Benedict> Not much left, then. "Should tribe grab Rotter?"
305804:49:25: <NachtRuine> "Yes. Let us go now."
305904:49:32: <Benedict> And they're off!
306004:49:34: <NachtRuine> TIME AND SPACE WARP TO BANDITOS
306104:49:36: <Goatwright> WOO
306204:50:08: <Benedict> HELLO, CAMP, THE HEROES ARE HERE.
306304:50:26: <Rainglove> WEEOOOO
306404:50:29: <Rainglove> TO ROTTER AWAY
306504:50:43: <NachtRuine> Spuddenly the group is in front of Rotter!
306604:50:57: <Benedict> Nurel shows his respect with the bow of his head.
306704:51:16: <NachtRuine> Saav shows his by placing his mask around his neck.
306804:51:23: <Rainglove> The bandit from before leads you to THE TENT OF THE ROTTER. "Hello again. Do you need something else from me?"
306904:51:56: <Benedict> "Tolay removed. Look at new town leaders."
307004:52:44: <NachtRuine> "Tolay has resigned. You and your people are welcome into the city, as long as they respect the law."
307104:53:36: <Rainglove> He looks surprised. "Well that's welcome news. How did you uh... handle him?"
307204:54:31: <Goatwright> "With support, and not with force."
307304:54:37: <NachtRuine> "With his way of words and a speech to the public. There were some who disagreed with him. With our help, that turned to most."
307404:54:47: <NachtRuine> His, of course, refers to Nurel.
307504:56:33: <Rainglove> He seems EVEN MORE SURPRISED, but he contains it. "Well... thank you. I will let everyone know."
307604:57:57: <Goatwright> "Oh, also." Waakanti rubs his beard.
307704:58:00: <NachtRuine> "You should consider joining the guards. You appear capable of it, and I'm sure you would make a nice addition."
307804:58:37: <Goatwright> "I commanded one of your men to carry a big boukder and neglected to tell him he may release it. Does he still possess it?"
307905:00:13: <Rainglove> Rotter laughs. "Yeah, he's still got it, somehow. I think he got it moved into his tent. And uh, I don't think I'm cut out for guard duty."
308005:02:22: <Goatwright> Waakanti is surprised! He must meet this gentleman. He is not really one for this politics shit. "Where is his tent?"
308105:02:23: <NachtRuine> "It is your call. Though do posit the idea to your people. Our guards are somewhat understaffed."
308205:03:05: <Benedict> "Perhaps Rotter help build walls? He's decision."
308305:03:57: <Rainglove> Rotter points. "I'll... think about it. Maybe later. Thank you for the offer, though."
308405:04:45: <Benedict> Nurel nods. "Go lead tribe to town. Remember: must follow law."
308505:05:00: <NachtRuine> He nods. "We should probably return. There is much work to do."
308605:05:03: <Goatwright> Waakanti goes off in the direction!
308705:06:11: <Rainglove> Waakanti you find the tent, but there is nobody inside. However, your rock is there. Someone's magically seared a smiley face into the top.
308805:06:48: <Benedict> 1d20+8 Nurel looks around for that goblin tribe that lived with Rotter. Not to approach, just to scout out for qts.
308905:06:49: <Dados> Benedict, Nurel looks around for that goblin tribe that lived with Rotter. Not to approach, just to scout out for qts.: 12 [1d20=4]
309005:06:57: <Benedict> No qts for Nurel :(
309105:07:20: <Goatwright> He frowns, lifting the rock up. Is the man stuck under it?
309205:07:32: <Rainglove> You find evidence of their camp, and could probably locate them yourself if you came back at a later date. They seem to be on the move.
309305:07:37: <Rainglove> Nope, no man. Just rock
309405:08:13: <Benedict> Nurel is sad.
309505:08:33: <Goatwright> He sets the rock back down and casts Detect Magic on the smily face.
309605:08:50: <Rainglove> it's just an arcane symbol
309705:09:54: <Goatwright> DAMMIT GUY. YOU PLAYED WITH MY HEARTSTRINGS.
309805:10:18: <Goatwright> Waakanti grumbles and exits the tent.
309905:10:46: <NachtRuine> Saav goes back into town, waving to Rotter as he goes.
310005:11:10: <Rainglove> Rotter and a few of the more lightly loaded bandits make their way into town with you.
310105:11:33: <Benedict> Nurel is going to town, with no goblin friends.
310205:13:11: <NachtRuine> Since Nurel surely mentioned the bandits in the speech, no one should be making any trouble as they come in.
310305:13:23: <Goatwright> Waakanti ain't goin' back. WHERE ARE YOU, GUY?
310405:14:21: <Rainglove> HE IS NOT HERE FUCK YOU
310505:15:35: <Goatwright> MAN FINE GOD HE GOES TO THE TOWN
310605:15:48: <Goatwright> Way to HYPE ME UP FOR NOTHING
310705:15:49: <Benedict> Nurel drops by the mage place to let him know he can expect improved living conditions once the walls are built.
310805:16:03: <Rainglove> The mage is GREATLY PLEASED by this news
310905:16:14: <Rainglove> GREATLY
311005:16:16: <Rainglove> PLEASED
311105:16:28: <NachtRuine> He's like thiiis close to kissing you.
311205:17:20: <Benedict> Nurel keeps his promises.
311305:17:58: <NachtRuine> Saav sits down on the side of some road and watches the people go about their daily lives, pondering what his purpose is now. He feels... listless.
311405:19:06: <NachtRuine> Within, what, a little over a day, he's managed to gain the power he so desired, thanks to his compatriots. But what does he do now?
311505:20:19: <Goatwright> Come out of the closet, maybe?
311605:20:39: <NachtRuine> Fuck you, he chaste. Besides, that's probably heretical.
311705:20:55: <Goatwright> Messed up.
311805:22:46: <Benedict> Guess Nurel also should tell the guards to expect increased wages once the books are handled and trade begins.
311905:23:36: <NachtRuine> Yes, totally so. Saav wishes this for the guards as well. It will encourage more people to be guards.
312005:25:13: <Benedict> Enjoy that pay in the near future, guards, yeah.
312105:25:34: <Rainglove> they are GREATLY PLEASED
312205:25:44: <Rainglove> goddamn nurel just pleasing the entire town
312305:25:58: <NachtRuine> if only saav could please someone
312405:25:59: <Benedict> Nurel is a people pleaser.
312505:25:59: <NachtRuine> wait shit
312605:26:07: <NachtRuine> you get the idea
312705:26:14: <Benedict> But Nurel wishes he could speak good Common.
312805:26:23: <NachtRuine> OH WAIT
312905:26:30: <NachtRuine> BUT THERE IS SAAV
313005:26:35: <NachtRuine> YOUR TRUSTED BUDDY
313105:26:58: <Benedict> Ugh. Ugggggh. Gotta ask this guy to teach him Common. Ugggh.
313205:28:01: <Benedict> After Nurel makes sure the two most helpful parties get their wishes fulfilled by the new town leaders, Nurel realizes something. He sucks at Common. Like, he barely got by in the past two days with his limited speaking. He needs to improve his talking. Is there a teacher around here? While searching for some sorta school, he sees Saav, being all without
313305:28:09: <Benedict> purpose. Nurel decides to join him on the side of the road.
313405:29:04: <NachtRuine> Saav looks to Nurel. "Ah, hello Nurel. Giving out lots of good news today, huh."
313505:30:08: <Benedict> "Mage happy with better house news. Guard pleased by wage news. Hard... hard get them understand. Nurel poor Common."
313605:31:45: <NachtRuine> "Yes, I know." Inspiration strikes. "What if I am to teach you. A way to repay you for letting me to read the speech."
313705:33:02: <Benedict> "Speech only work because mask read. No repay." Nurel states, then faces forward. Secretly rubs hands, probably to invisible Qojo's delight. "But... Nurel need teaching. If Mask could."
313805:35:31: <NachtRuine> "I shall do so." Ah, teaching. Another good purpose for Saavou. "Simply come to me when you feel up to the task."
313905:36:29: <Benedict> Nurel nods. "Late day. Now, want relax."
314005:38:45: <NachtRuine> "Yes, you should relax. We have had a busy day." Saav looks out into the distance. "I still have work to do. I must comb the laws of this city. Ensure the code is enforceable."
314105:39:47: <Benedict> "That how mask relax? Go do. Need strong law."
314205:42:41: <NachtRuine> "It's... Not exactly how I relax. It's been a while since I have." He looks to Nurel. "What of you? How do you relax?"
314305:43:35: <NachtRuine> shit. questions to sentences
314405:44:07: <Benedict> "Clean gun. Make ammo. EN-GEN-EAR-RING." Nurel sounds out the last word. Not sure what that even is. Is it like gunsmithing? He assumes so.
314505:46:05: <NachtRuine> "Engineering. Very productive way to relax."
314605:47:15: <Benedict> "All tribe did. Was good. Good learning."
314705:49:34: <NachtRuine> "Hm. Out of curiosity, what did you learn that was important only to you. If it is private, I will understand."
314805:50:05: <Benedict> Nurel doesn't understand the question, and shows so with a tilt of the head.
314905:50:54: <NachtRuine> "When you spoke to some townspeople about the dwarf."
315005:52:51: <Benedict> "Oh. It is not thing mask need concern with."
315105:53:40: <NachtRuine> "I know it is not needed. But it is desired."
315205:54:31: <Benedict> Nurel clicks his tongue. Saav -has- been useful. "Location. Goblin tribe that hide from Tolay. Nurel wish to meet and bring them to town."
315305:56:33: <NachtRuine> "Ah. Understandable. Should I happen to come across information regarding your tribe, I shall inform you."
315405:58:19: <Benedict> "Goblin in town also say Rotter group had tribe live with them. Recruit them important to Nurel, but tribe might not welcome... not-goblin. Which why Nurel say not concern he with."
315506:01:21: <NachtRuine> "That makes sense. Very well, I shall not concern myself." He stands up. "I should examine the laws. If there is nothing else, I shall take my leave."
315606:02:51: <Benedict> "Nurel rest here for bit. Will talk mask later, about Common."
315706:05:07: <NachtRuine> "I shall prepare a rudimentary course." With this, he walks away into the night. Actually, he walks into the town hall. He will probably be up law-reading or meditating.

316121:00:58: <Benedict> Nurel practices those Common words Saav taught him. He's learning! How much time has passed between becoming the new kings in town and now?
316221:01:45: <Dados> Viejo, 1d20+13: 18 [1d20=5]
316321:01:45: <viejo> 1d20+13
316421:01:53: <viejo> A mediocre backflip is taking place somewhere.
316521:02:44: <NachtRuine> Saav has combed through and through the law books in the interim, making sure the code is, well, up to code. If he could grow stubble, it would be very apparent.
316621:03:18: <viejo> 1d20+6 k nobility, does this provide anything vaguely useful as to the current situation?
316721:03:18: <Dados> Viejo, k nobility, does this provide anything vaguely useful as to the current situation?: 13 [1d20=7]
316821:03:25: <viejo> probably not

317121:05:05: <Rainglove> you're a pretty weird group of kings
317221:05:07: <Rainglove> like wow
317321:06:09: <NachtRuine> well that was a given
317421:08:24: <Benedict> Nurel is the better king out of all of them.
317521:08:33: <viejo> more like
317621:08:36: <viejo> that was a gibbon
317721:08:45: <viejo> do I get a hero point now?
317821:09:44: <Rainglove> -2 charisma
317921:15:25: <viejo> 1d20-4 charisma for the rp session
318021:15:25: <Dados> Viejo, charisma for the rp session: -3 [1d20=1]
318121:16:01: <NachtRuine> pfffffffffffft
318221:16:04: <NachtRuine> pfffffffffffffffffffffffffffffft
318321:16:09: <Benedict> PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFT
318421:16:25: <NachtRuine> True Autist!
318521:16:32: <viejo> Somewhere in the distant is the sound of obnoxious cackling.
318621:17:13: <Benedict> Nurel feels an aura of evil in the town hall. It feels like autism.
318721:17:35: <viejo> Qojo is in the town hall and laughing at something or other.
318821:17:43: <viejo> Perhaps he glimpsed Garret's nose?
318921:17:55: <NachtRuine> Saav does not care for Qojo's imminent insanity. He must work.
319021:18:07: <viejo> 1d20 how loud is this laughter
319121:18:08: <Dados> Viejo, how loud is this laughter: 1 [1d20=1]
319221:18:25: <Benedict> Qojo is mute.
319321:18:28: <viejo> Qojo chokes while laughing and splutters.
319421:18:28: <NachtRuine> just loud enough to hear
319521:18:35: <NachtRuine> but barely audible
319621:19:35: <Benedict> Nurel gets out of his chair from practicing his Common and opens the door outside slightly, checking for those mages that were SUPPOSED to arrive.
319721:25:34: <Benedict> Nurel is still waiting for mages anyway, to ask questions about the new musket and his old musket.
319821:26:24: <NachtRuine> Saav is similarly curious of the contents of the cellar. He paces about in the hall, law book in hand.
319921:28:53: <NachtRuine> He's trying so hard to remember the codes, as well as critiquing them for efficacy.
320021:29:55: <viejo> 1d20+6 can Qojo improve on Nurel's shitty engineering advice?
320121:29:55: <Dados> Viejo, can Qojo improve on Nurel's shitty engineering advice?: 24 [1d20=18]
320221:31:14: <viejo> oi goblin m8 yer plans r shit
320321:33:49: <Benedict> Nurel cannot hear the mute autist, who manages to choke on his own laughter.
320421:35:01: <viejo> Qojo looks outside at the engineers and attempts to convey his own superior designs.
320521:35:26: <viejo> Unfortunately he is too busy coughing and spluttering. By the time he's recovered he's forgotten what they were. Silly monkey.
320621:36:30: <NachtRuine> Saav is endlessly pacing. "Code 86-2, subsection A: Any person who..." The rest devolves into unintelligible mumbles.
320721:42:18: <Hippocratesi> Gwyn is having a grand old time with Huron, his lion that exists.
320821:42:22: <Goatwright> Waakanti exists.
320921:42:44: <Goatwright> He is being there.
321021:44:33: <viejo> LET'S GO
321121:44:35: <viejo> where's this quest at?
321221:44:56: <Rainglove> on today's autistic adventuring itinerary:
321321:45:34: <viejo> [autism intensifies]
321421:49:23: <Rainglove> ONE WEEK HAS PASSED. You've been getting immigrants into the town every day or two, people slowly trickling in from outside. Rotter's bandits, rather than come into the town, have set up a ways outside while housing is being constructed. LEMME KEEP TYPAN PLS
321521:51:19: <Rainglove> Yesterday one of those groups of immigrants brought news about a keep that a group of nobles and assorted peasantry had been staying in before the world went bang. Apparently a group of magical beasties went and beat their way inside and ate the king. Ain't that the darndest thing.
321621:51:54: <Rainglove> Most people got out, but the fortress is now empty of people, filled with beasties, and holding a goddamn castle at the moment doesn't sound too bad
321721:53:56: <viejo> Did they give any description of the beast for a potential knowledge roll?
321821:56:04: <Rainglove> gimme a k arcana and a k nature
321921:56:06: <Rainglove> whoever has it
322021:56:23: <Dados> NachtRuine, k nature: 19 [1d20=5]

323521:59:18: <Dados> Goatwright, Nature: 12 [1d20=8]
323621:59:35: <Rainglove> starting off on a high note
323721:59:39: <Hippocratesi> i would've been sad if the hunter got the lowest roll
323821:59:40: <viejo> I-I didn't s-see my arcana roll s-so I can r-r-r-reroll it, right?
323921:59:48: <Rainglove> noh
324021:59:57: <viejo> o-oh
324122:03:43: <Rainglove> your nature rolls get you one of the types of creatures, something that you remember hearing about post world-bang. a type of magical plant-life that mutated from some kind of hallucinogenic plant. Exactly what it is you aren't sure. Your arcana's not high enough to get you the other sorts of thingymadoodles.
324222:06:24: <Goatwright> Darn
324322:06:44: <NachtRuine> "The monster will likely attempt to use hallucinations against us. Luckily I am trained to withstand mental assaults."
324422:06:59: <Benedict> What a bunch of NERD talk. Nurel is only interested in one kind of nerd talk: ENGINEERING TALK. He takes out his notes from last week and thinks of ways to improve the design.
324522:07:10: <Benedict> 1d20+5 Attempting RANKU UP towards advanced firearms
324622:07:11: <Dados> Benedict, Attempting RANKU UP towards advanced firearms: 12 [1d20=7]
324722:07:14: <Benedict> Haha nope.
324822:07:24: <Rainglove> nurel's brain farts audibly
324922:07:51: <Benedict> Nurel does some drawings and realizes: He kinda just drew a dildo launcher. He crumbles the paper up, then rips it up so no one can see it.
325022:08:24: <viejo> "They trained you against mind-controlling mutated plants? Man, who'd have thunk they taught that in creep school!"
325122:09:32: <NachtRuine> "You should know, fellow alumni. Were you not the valedictorian."
325222:10:14: <viejo> "Considering I was the only pupil, I'd like to think I was top of the class." He looks from side to side before adding, "but ya never know."
325322:10:21: <Goatwright> "Harsh words." Waakanti laughs.
325422:10:22: <Benedict> Alumni and valedictorian are words Nurel does not know. He does not get the joke. "Nurel mind is strong. Nurel will be fine." Oh hey, he's speaking a little clearer this week thanks to some Common lessons.
325522:11:12: <Hippocratesi> "They are simply plants, we have nothing to worry about."
325622:15:22: <NachtRuine> "We should remain on guard, despite their plant nature. They did take a castle."
325722:16:23: <Hippocratesi> "Guarded by halflings, perhaps."
325822:17:19: <Benedict> "When does the tribe leave?"
325922:17:20: <viejo> "Simply plants? Man, remember those wolves we sliced and diced? Which, by the way, was pretty awesome. I mean, big gold guy and his god damn lion tearing shit up. MAN. This is why I went adventuring!"
326022:17:47: <Goatwright> "The creatures of this land do seem more formidable than most."
326122:17:51: <viejo> "Anyway I'm pretty sure they were mutated as well and they packed more of a punch than a normal wolf would. Who knows what the magic apocalypse has wrought?"
326222:18:00: <Goatwright> "Perhaps we should take caution."
326322:21:45: <NachtRuine> "We should certainly take caution."
326422:21:51: <viejo> "Those wolves we fought? Teeth had some kind of fiery kick to it, or, bite is probably a better way of putting it. Agree with the even-bigger-fellow that caution is good. We don't know what this magical shabang whoha brouhaha has done to the world in full yet."
326522:22:17: <Benedict> "...Whoha... brouhaha?"
326622:24:39: <Goatwright> "They are terms for magic, I believe"
326722:24:58: <NachtRuine> "Moving on, the trip will take longer than just a few hours, so we will need to prepare supplies."
326822:25:40: <Benedict> "Nurel has mule with food. Dried meat and fruit."
326922:26:10: <NachtRuine> "I came to the town with several days worth of rations, so I shall be fine."
327022:26:16: <Hippocratesi> "I can also hunt, if needed."
327122:26:36: <Benedict> "If one in tribe needs food, Nurel will share."
327222:27:16: <viejo> "I can gnaw on this javelin or this torch if I get peckish." LOOT CONFIRMED
327322:29:46: <Goatwright> "I can hunt decently."
327422:30:25: <Benedict> Nurel keeps his old musket close. A mage did all the magic shit so he didn't have to replace it. "When do we leave?"
327522:31:16: <NachtRuine> Saav's sword seems slightly brighter in comparison to last time he wielded his sword. "I would suggest a day of preparation."
327622:31:56: <viejo> Qojo scratches his bum for a day. Now he's ready. Ready for Freddy [the plant].
327722:32:09: <NachtRuine> Saav prepares his combat spells.
327822:32:33: <NachtRuine> He prays to Cath'paz as well.
327922:32:39: <Benedict> "A day, then. Nurel wants to test cauldron." For that day, Nurel tries to see if he can make something to improve crops in the town.
328022:32:49: <Benedict> 1d20+9 Please to make GMO products
328122:32:49: <Dados> Benedict, Please to make GMO products: 20 [1d20=11]

328322:33:02: <Rainglove> w-well uh
328422:33:05: <Rainglove> we can cover that later
328522:33:09: <Benedict> Okay.
328622:33:44: <Hippocratesi> Gywn just goes back to uh, training Huron. Sure would be nice to kill those plants.
328722:34:48: <viejo> Woosh?
328822:34:56: <Rainglove> wooshiness occurs
328922:35:06: <Rainglove> A DAY AND A NIGHT AND A HALF A DAY OF TRAVEL
329022:35:08: <Rainglove> DUSTY TRAILS
329122:35:10: <Rainglove> BANJOES
329222:35:12: <Benedict> Nurel and his mule get to travel again. Wise Woman the Mule is happy.
329322:35:16: <viejo> day and night
329422:35:18: <Rainglove> MIDNIGHT CUDDLING
329522:35:22: <Rainglove> AND THEN YOU ARRIVE
329622:35:23: <viejo> I toss and turn I keep autism in my mi-iiiind
329722:36:06: <Benedict> Nurel whistles some Blackened Tooth Tribe songs as the group travels by day.
329822:36:44: <viejo> "Hey, what tune is that? Sounds like the one I do when I'm takin' a dump!"
329922:36:49: <Goatwright> Waakanti looks up at the castle, surprised. "I've not seen a structure this large."
330022:36:53: <Rainglove> in the distance the castle appears. It's not particularly grand, it seems like it was built for the sole purpose of serving as a keep, which is probably why it's lasted as long as it has. As you close in nothing really becomes visible outside. The gate is clearly open from some distance, but the castle seems... entirely deserted.
330122:37:12: <Goatwright> STILL THE BIGGEST HE SERN
330222:37:12: <Goatwright> Seen even
330322:37:13: <viejo> any point in perception?
330422:37:21: <Rainglove> there ain't shit to see
330522:37:23: <NachtRuine> Saav remains mostly quiet during the trip. He is in thought. Upon reaching the castle, he feels uneasy.
330622:37:46: <viejo> can I roll any knowledge to get a better idea of the keep or is it, again, pointless?
330722:37:59: <Hippocratesi> Gwyn remains unimpressed.
330822:38:19: <Rainglove> engineering would give you a general idea of keep construction if you uh, really need it and want me to go look at wikipedia
330922:38:36: <Rainglove> the internal architecture is unique to each keep, aside from general standards
331022:38:48: <Benedict> Qojo and his fucking insults. Nurel licks his teeth and breaths easy to calm himself so he doesn't threaten Qojo, or actually try to hurt Qojo. "Old goblin song. Do not insult. Please." Nurel manages to get out.
331122:39:02: <viejo> nah I was only wondering if there's any info I can provide, just say no in future if it's totally unnecessary
331222:39:36: <viejo> "Oh, nonono, my bud, not the actual dump itself! The tune I whistle! Helps me relax! Real nice melody!" Qojo whistles it out.
331322:40:00: <Benedict> "He is still insulting."
331422:40:11: <Rainglove> nurel, you get them evil shakies as you close in on the keep
331522:40:14: <Goatwright> "He does it often."
331622:40:15: <Rainglove> things wot want to be smote in there
331722:40:30: <viejo> "I'm sorry! I was only tryna relate. I'll zip it!"
331822:40:37: <NachtRuine> "Come now. There is work to be done."
331922:41:18: <Benedict> Nurel makes a low growling noise. Might be mistaken to be aimed at Qojo, but it's not! Don't worry. "Nasty things inside. Can feel it."
332022:41:48: <Rainglove> anyway, you are there. OH BRAVE HEROES, WHAT DO YOU DO
332122:42:00: <Goatwright> Waakanti casts DETECT EVIL, ALL OVER
332222:42:01: <viejo> Qojo shrugs. "Well, guess we better go in and see what's what."
332322:42:06: <Goatwright> Magic
332422:42:11: <Goatwright> Not Evil
332522:42:16: <Rainglove> sure is some evil shit in- sure is some magic shit in there
332622:42:29: <Rainglove> roll K arcana
332722:42:30: <Hippocratesi> let us say i also detected the magic
332822:42:31: <Benedict> How close is this evil shit?
332922:42:33: <NachtRuine> "We shouldn't rush in."
333022:42:35: <Goatwright> 1d20+1 lel
333122:42:35: <Dados> Goatwright, lel: 6 [1d20=5]
333222:42:40: <Hippocratesi> let us say i don't have to roll that
333322:42:41: <Rainglove> sure is magic
333422:42:45: <Dados> Viejo, credit to team?: 15 [1d20=9]
333522:42:45: <viejo> 1d20+6 credit to team?
333622:42:50: <Rainglove> sure is magic
333722:42:53: <Dados> NachtRuine, i detected too: 22 [1d20=16]
333822:42:54: <NachtRuine> 1d20+6 i detected too
333922:43:11: <Benedict> Losers having to detect magic.
334022:43:39: <Rainglove> sure is some kind of evil-aligned outsiders in there. What in the fuck are they doing on this plane?
334122:44:25: <NachtRuine> Saav is visibly surprised, even behind the mask. "Outsiders. On this plane."
334222:44:51: <Goatwright> Waakanti frowns. "Spirits?"
334322:44:54: <viejo> "Hoo-boy."
334422:45:07: <NachtRuine> "They are evil."
334522:45:28: <NachtRuine> I detect for chaos
334622:45:33: <Benedict> "Nurel feels it."
334722:45:39: <Rainglove> ain't no chaos
334822:45:39: <Hippocratesi> "Outsiders?" Trouble's a-foot. "...I suppose we /should/ act with cautious."
334922:45:48: <Hippocratesi> caution
335022:45:49: <Hippocratesi> fuc
335122:46:17: <NachtRuine> "They are simply evil. No chaos around." Damn I knew I should've prepared protection from evil, not chaos.
335222:46:39: <Benedict> Nurel was born to fuck up outsiders.
335322:47:38: <Goatwright> Told you
335422:47:41: <NachtRuine> "We know as much as we're going to know standing here. We must enter." Saav goes on the approach.
335522:48:00: <Goatwright> Good thing I have Protection from Evil :^)
335622:48:02: <Benedict> Nurel's musket is at the ready and he advances on, mule following like the dumb animal it is.
335722:48:39: <Hippocratesi> Gwyn follows, axe at the ready. Huron marches behind, lion-ness at the ready.
335822:49:35: <viejo> Qojo shakes his body, gets nice and limber, then follows on.
335922:50:26: <Rainglove> Saav, you enter the the courtyard. A few corpses are littered here and there, mostly in pieces. The smell of five day old dead people is... lovely. The door to the inner keep is in front of you, slightly ajar, and darkened archer slits peer down at you from the walls around the courtyard.
336022:50:47: <Rainglove> Ain't nobody here but them ghosts, cap'm
336122:51:43: <Benedict> Nurel says a goblin prayer for the deceased. Perhaps Klikk can help the dead find a path home. Klikk is a goblin god, before anyone asks in OOC.
336222:52:12: <Hippocratesi> Gwyn taps a corpse with his foot.
336322:52:25: <viejo> "Well don't that just put a dampener on things. What kinda welcoming party is this?"
336422:53:14: <Goatwright> Waakanti enters after, scowering. He turns to the party. "Might I attempt to speak to them, if they are spirits?"
336522:53:41: <NachtRuine> Saav is eyeing the archer slits. He presumably sees no one there. "You can try. But keep an eye on those slits. Perfect place for an archer attack."
336622:54:01: <NachtRuine> "Other than that, we should be safe here."
336722:54:16: <viejo> "Do you ever get that gut feeling that says "pst, hey, hey buddy, something naaaasty's going on here"? Anyone? No?"
336822:54:51: <NachtRuine> "Do you refer to the smell of the dead."
336922:55:38: <Hippocratesi> "We can assume the keep is not as empty as we may think it is."
337022:55:42: <Benedict> "If Nurel listen to gut feeling all time, Nurel would not walk the magic-ruined land."
337122:55:43: <viejo> "I mean, you can read all you want and learn lots but there's a big difference between readin' this kinda shit and seein' this kinda shit."
337222:56:13: <viejo> "What makes you say that Nurel?"
337322:57:53: <NachtRuine> "Agreed. There are names behind the corpses, lives." He shivers at the thought of something. "Though we may not know them, we can certainly avenge them."
337422:59:06: <Goatwright> Waakanti looks up to the building and shouts in Necril. "[WHO GOES THERE?]"
337522:59:10: <Hippocratesi> "I have seen it before. It does not bother me much, anymore."
337622:59:22: <Benedict> "Nasty thing going on everywhere, Qojo. If Nurel listened to gut, he would be hiding in cave forever."
337723:00:17: <Goatwright> Necril of course sounding vaguely evil.
337823:00:31: <viejo> Qojo laughs, but it's not a harsh cackle. "Yeah, yeah I know what you mean. I lived a sheltered life yaknow? Before all this and also... before all that. Have ya ever been the cause of somethin' nasty? I mean, you, not you were there, but /you/ were the cause of somethin' nasty?"
337923:02:08: <Goatwright> "No, but I imagine you feel this often."
338023:02:28: <NachtRuine> "Yes, I have." Oh, the memories.
338123:03:21: <Benedict> "Nurel did nasty things in past."
338223:03:52: <viejo> Qojo laughs weakly then looks at his feet. He shuffles them a bit. "Nah, I'm an alright sort." He looks up. "There is one thing though. One big... stain."
338323:04:11: <viejo> "What'd you do Nurel? I mean, if ya want to share, of course."
338423:04:52: <Benedict> "Nurel is goblin. Qojo and others know what kind of things goblins do."
338523:06:06: <Goatwright> "Very well, small one."
338623:07:30: <Hippocratesi> "You don't seem to be the type of goblin I've dealt with."
338723:07:44: <Benedict> "People change."
338823:08:17: <NachtRuine> Saav looks about at the dead bodies, kind of just staring at them.
338923:08:31: <viejo> "Hey, I try not to type-cast. Or even... people-cast. Where I'm from this whole race hate thing wasn't really... a thing."
339023:09:51: <Benedict> "No goblins where Qojo lived?"
339123:09:53: <viejo> "What was that tune you were whistlin' anyway?"
339223:09:54: <Goatwright> Waakanti does not comment on this.
339323:10:04: <NachtRuine> "For some people, it comes naturally."
339423:10:05: <Goatwright> Muh racism.
339523:10:45: <Hippocratesi> Gwyn also stays silent. Huron nibbles on an arm.
339623:11:24: <Benedict> "A song for victory. Nurel's tribe would sing it together after beating dwarves and bring home supplies. Food and such. It a song for when we share with tribe and family. -Not- when tribesman takes a shit."
339723:11:43: <viejo> "None but, well, my parents tried to teach me well, yaknow? Like, you get this idea of what a race is supposed to act like then ya treat them like that and it just doesn't help anyone, does it?"
339823:12:21: <viejo> "Oh..." Qojo shuffles his feet. "I'm sorry for the comparison, I didn't know. Thought it was just some jolly ol' song yaknow?"
339923:13:12: <NachtRuine> "Yet even when taught properly, sometimes experiences cause prejudice."
340023:13:21: <Goatwright> "Such assumptions helped my people."
340123:13:57: <Hippocratesi> "We also prospered just fine."
340223:14:20: <Benedict> "If Qojo is sorry, then nothing needs worrying. Nurel should have explained earlier."
340323:14:54: <viejo> "Yeah, true. We're just a rag-tag group thrown togetha from lots of different ways of livin'. Havin' a jolly ol' chat amoungst the dead, a mutated plant waitin' to make a meal outta us. Don't really matter what our backgrounds or race is right now, really, long as we work together, get the job done, go back home for a nice warm supper."
340423:15:30: <viejo> "We have that in common, right? I mean, we all wanna get rid of this plant then enjoy a nice cooked meal?"
340523:16:51: <Goatwright> "I suppose so, loud one."
340623:17:10: <NachtRuine> "No argument from me."
340723:18:02: <Hippocratesi> "Yes...a meal." Gwyn strokes his beard and is clearly thinking of other things than food.
340823:18:24: <Goatwright> A meal of pussy.
340923:19:16: <viejo> "Current stench and scene doesn't really hit it home but just tryna make a point I guess. For the record, you bein' goblin doesn't bother me one bit, Nurel."
341023:22:34: <NachtRuine> "Personally, the stench doesn't bother me. There are worse smells. Noticable, certainly."
341123:27:40: <NachtRuine> Saav kneels to the last corpse, looking over it.
341223:31:33: <Goatwright> Waakanti continues attempting to call to the outsiders in Necril.
341323:31:54: <Benedict> Nurel does not like this... EVIL sounding tongue.
341423:32:25: <viejo> "Yeesh! What is that?"
341523:32:29: <NachtRuine> It's only the language of the dead.
341623:33:02: <Goatwright> And Waakanti says as much.
341723:33:13: <Benedict> It's so evil!
341823:33:24: <Goatwright> "All shamans worth their salt know the language of the dead."
341923:33:55: <viejo> "'Language of the dead'? Creepy. I'm not a shaman and I seem to have spilled my salt so yaknow."
342023:34:40: <Rainglove> the world resumes spinning. Nothing replies to Waakanti's calls.
342123:34:56: <Goatwright> He frowns.
342223:34:56: <viejo> perception rolls?
342323:35:17: <NachtRuine> "Perhaps I shall try. Outsiders may not speak the language of the dead." He turns to the wall and shouts "[REVEAL YOURSELF.]" Infernal, the language of lawful evil outsiders and devils, probably sounds like a lot of hissing and generally evil sounding sounds.
342423:35:20: <Rainglove> nothing to perceive
342523:36:25: <Hippocratesi> "Whatever it is you said doesn't seem it'd move them to show themselves"
342623:36:49: <viejo> "Guess it's my turn." Qojo says a similar sort of thing but in Aklo. :^)
342723:38:24: <NachtRuine> "It appears nothing will do. We must press on then. Say your prayers for the dead and let us move."
342823:38:31: <Rainglove> shit continues not to happen
342923:38:47: <Benedict> Fascinating.
343023:38:59: <Benedict> Can Nurel detect where in the keep the EVIL is coming from?
343123:39:01: <viejo> "Guessin' the tongue of angels won't work." Qojo shrugs. He moves forward.
343223:39:25: <Rainglove> there are multiple sources of EEEEVIL nurel, although there is one especially strong source deeper into the keep.
343323:40:09: <Benedict> EEEEEEEEEEEEEVIL. "Strong source deep in keep. Tribe should continue advancing." Nurel does so.
343423:40:18: <NachtRuine> "I was sure they would've responded to me. I mainly use it to convene with Cath'paz." Saav follows.
343523:40:50: <Hippocratesi> Gwyn follows the rest deeper inside.
343623:41:01: <Benedict> "A nasty tongue to use for a Kat'paz."
343723:41:44: <Goatwright> "Will we simply head inside?"
343823:41:54: <NachtRuine> "Cath'paz would be my god."
343923:42:06: <NachtRuine> "Do you sense something, giant?"
344023:42:15: <NachtRuine> (question to statement, fug)
344123:43:13: <Benedict> "Nurel senses evil. Unless tribe insists on retreating, evil only go away when we kill it."
344223:43:28: <Goatwright> He points to the goblin.
344323:44:55: <Rainglove> Entering the inner keep, you're met with a mostly destroyed room. and in one corner sits one of those plants you've heard about. It leaps toward you on *gasp* legs qojo, it is trippable. Another joins it from a nearby hallway.

375900:36:51: <Rainglove> spores poof
376000:36:59: <Hippocratesi> Gwyn is silently extremely butthurt at his performance.
376100:37:00: <Rainglove> the air slowly clears, and the spiders go away
376200:37:03: <Goatwright> Waakanti covers his mouth.
376300:37:10: <Rainglove> the walls are no longer spiders
376400:37:17: <viejo> "Ain't that the darnest thing, not a scatch on us!"
376500:37:21: <Rainglove> qojo is still a spider though
376600:37:23: <Rainglove> just him
376700:37:55: <NachtRuine> "I... Am disappointed," he quietly says to himself. He looks about the place, having not been really able to do so during the fight.
376800:38:05: <Benedict> Nurel pats his musket. "<We did good, but there is more ahead. Continue to perform well, Blackened Tooth.>"
376900:38:05: <Goatwright> "I believe I performed decently."

377800:38:50: <Hippocratesi> "Damn these hands!" Gwyn huffs and puts his weapon away.

378600:40:25: <Goatwright> "I am mostly unfamiliar with plants," he proclaims.
378700:40:41: <viejo> "Ain't triggerin' anythin' in my mind." Qojo shrugs.
378800:41:04: <viejo> "Nice shootin' by the way. Smallest guy hits the hardest, who've thought it?" Qojo winks at Nurel.
378900:41:35: <Benedict> "Musket makes one man five." Nurel states, pre-loading his musket for the next encounter.
379000:41:43: <Goatwright> "Everybody moved before I might have weakened them. I apologize my hits were not fantastic."
379100:41:53: <viejo> "Is that so?" Qojo puts his hands on his hips and archs an eyebrow before laughing.
379200:42:02: <Rainglove> Saav these are obviously mutated. You do recognize the poison though, and you know that if either of them had managed to slam down on anyone else your odds of survival are pretty bad. The contact poison is much nastier than the airborne stuff.
379300:42:21: <viejo> "No one's hurt which is great! Thought that plant was gonna get me a couple of times then."
379400:42:26: <Hippocratesi> "I will do better. There is no excuse for my performance."
379500:42:35: <Hippocratesi> "As will Huron."
379600:42:42: <Benedict> "Yes. Sword cannot pierce plate. A bullet can."
379700:42:48: <Rainglove> the rest of the group also learns this because saav
379800:43:05: <Rainglove> anyway, the path deeper into the keep leads forward, and there are several side-paths

380900:47:58: <Rainglove> well, you feel the faint magical pull of the armory in addition to the EEEEEVILLLLL deeper in the keep. You also catch the occasional glimpse of what might be shadows moving on the walls. They occasionally seem to coalesce into more solid forms. The shapes of children, maybe? But then they flit away. Whatever they are, they're part of the evil aura.
381000:48:35: <Benedict> "<Nasty little things.>" Nurel says in his native tongue.
381100:48:53: <Goatwright> Can he attempt his GHOST SIGHT TRAIT to REALLY SEE THESE GHOSTY GUYS?
381200:49:48: <viejo> "Yaknow that gut feelin' I was talkin' about? Just got worse."
381300:49:50: <Rainglove> no, whatever they are they're very much alive
381400:50:17: <Benedict> Nurel isn't sure who the leader of this group is. "Where should the tribe go?"
381500:50:25: <Goatwright> Gross.
381600:50:36: <viejo> "Like when you're readin' a story and the main character's goin' somewhere dangerous and you're all like "no main character! Don't do it! You're in danger!" and he does it anyway and somethin' nasty happens?"
381700:50:51: <Benedict> "Nurel doesn't read stories."
381800:50:57: <Hippocratesi> "We should look for an armoury. Take whatever we can that my prove useful."
381900:50:57: <Goatwright> "Please stop talking."
382000:51:04: <Hippocratesi> may even
382100:51:11: <viejo> "I'll stop talkin' when you start hittin' more." Qojo winks.
382200:51:14: <Goatwright> He pats Qojo not rudely, but not friendily.
382300:51:53: <Goatwright> "There is the presence of magic further in. This may be the armoury."
382400:52:06: <viejo> "Well, time's wastin'. Let's go."
382500:52:23: <viejo> Qojo trots on ahead. He gets out the torch for good measure.
382600:53:00: <Benedict> Nurel is ready to attack EVIL things.
382700:53:14: <Hippocratesi> Gwyn takes his axe back out just in case.
382800:54:28: <viejo> Qojo lights the torch.
382900:55:18: <Goatwright> Just to help, Waakanti casts Light on his hammer, then follows suit.
383000:55:35: <Rainglove> as you advance, those shapes show up more often until the walls are almost entirely covered in shadows. Out of the darkness ahead of you one of those figures comes into view, fully solid this time. It seems to be a... goblin? It looks almost exactly like a goblin, except greyer. It just stands there, watching you.
383100:56:39: <Benedict> Does the goblin have any sort of familiar shape or it's just... a goblin?
383200:56:46: <Rainglove> just a goblin
383300:56:54: <Benedict> And it's evil?
383400:56:58: <Rainglove> very
383500:57:02: <viejo> "You know I was sayin' I don't have anythin' against people? Well, that doesn't count for creepy people who emerge from shadows like that."
383600:57:18: <Rainglove> whoever it was who detected outsiders earlier, this is one
383700:57:32: <Benedict> I'm sorry, MY BROTHER. Maybe Nurel can get something from it. "<Can you understand me? What are you?>" Nurel speaks in goblin.
383800:58:23: <Goatwright> Waakanti almost growls threateningly at it.
383900:59:08: <Rainglove> The goblin hisses, and its teeth are definitely not goblin teeth. They look wolfish, almost. "<Why do you bring your light here?>"
384000:59:55: <Benedict> "<We are taking this keep. Purifying it. I ask again: What are you?>"
384101:02:38: <Rainglove> "<We serve order. We go where there is chaos, and we devour it wholly. There was chaos here, and now there is silence. This place is already purified. Your services are not needed.>"
384201:03:35: <Goatwright> "What is he saying?"
384301:03:36: <Benedict> "<You reek of evil. It offends my nostrils. What chaos was here? There were just peasants and old nobles that you killed or chased from here. Why do you take the form of a goblin?>"
384401:04:10: <Benedict> Oh right, other people are here. "He claims to serve order."
384501:04:43: <viejo> "... Order?"
384601:05:01: <Hippocratesi> "A strange definition of Order." Gwyn furrows his brow at the evil goblin.
384701:05:14: <NachtRuine> "In what manner does he serve order."
384801:05:39: <Benedict> Nurel asks Nacht's question in goblin.
384901:08:54: <Rainglove> "<It is what we are.>" The thing seems almost perplexed by the question. "<It creates us, makes us whole. We are its teeth. You will take your light elsewhere.>"

386801:11:47: <NachtRuine> what is even going on
386901:13:06: <Rainglove> The goblin hisses again, and it seems to shift again, shadows curling around it. "<You are but a candle in the void, and you would drive us out? This place was another light, and it burned our eyes. Your burn our eyes.>"
387001:13:18: <Rainglove> you* fug
387101:13:38: <Benedict> "<You burn my nostrils.>"

398801:37:33: <Benedict> Nurel is getting no help from anyone because they want to attack the goblin. Nurel will question why they are so eager to kill a goblin later. He takes a five foot step and casts SMITE EVIL on the goblin. And then attacks with deadly aim. Time to miss.

420202:12:07: <Benedict> 30 damage?
420302:12:33: <Rainglove> in a display of pugilism not seen since the art of punching things with fists was invented, qojo pounds the everloving shit out of that ethereal goddamn wolf.
420402:12:40: <Rainglove> Shadows splat graphically against the walls.
420502:13:06: <Benedict> We are victorious?
420602:13:13: <Rainglove> cheerful music plays
420702:13:43: <NachtRuine> "Brutal." He looks to the wounded. "Do you require help."
420802:13:48: <Benedict> Nurel slaps his hand on his face and casts Lay On Hands since the battle is over.
420902:13:50: <Benedict> 2d6
421002:13:50: <Dados> Benedict, 2d6: 5 [2d6=2,3]

421202:13:58: <Benedict> Doesn't really do much, but whatever.
421302:14:07: <Goatwright> Waakanti puts up a fist of victory.
421402:14:36: <Viejoseph> "Well I er, huh, guess I got carried away with that." He laughs. "You can only miss so many times, yaknow? Irritates a guy."
421502:14:39: <Rainglove> The shadows withdraw deeper into the keep, leaving the walls bare.
421602:14:45: <NachtRuine> Saav's victory pose is him just standing there, cape aflutter. His victory pose is very similar to his normal pose.
421702:14:50: <Benedict> 1d20+8 Nurel looks for VALUABLES in the armory.
421802:14:50: <Dados> Benedict, Nurel looks for VALUABLES in the armory.: 18 [1d20=10]
421902:15:02: <NachtRuine> Saav senses for evil.
422002:15:30: <Hippocratesi> Gwyn relaxes and lets the bottom of his axe rest on the ground.
422102:15:48: <Goatwright> "Do you sense any other evil?"
422202:16:00: <Benedict> Nurel will sense for evil as he searches for TREASURES.
422302:16:01: <NachtRuine> I don't know, do I?
422402:17:00: <Viejoseph> Qojo's victory pose involves a backflip.
422502:17:10: <Viejoseph> But he decides not to tempt fate and merely calms down instead.
422602:17:20: <Rainglove> yeah, the major source is still deeper into the keep, where you'd guess the dining area was through some external godly knowledge
422702:17:49: <NachtRuine> "The dining area houses the last vestige of evil. We are nearly finished."
422802:17:55: <Benedict> What about the TREASURE?
422902:18:08: <NachtRuine> "It is powerful, however. Steel yourselves."
423002:18:11: <Rainglove> you find a glorious +1 battleaxe
423102:18:16: <Hippocratesi> YES
423202:18:36: <Rainglove> also assorted arms and armor that none of you can use because you're all special snowflake goddamn weapon users
423302:18:44: <Benedict> Nurel whistles for the elf, and points out the axe.
423402:18:47: <Rainglove> but you do know a certain set of guards that could really use some of this shit
423502:19:27: <Hippocratesi> Gwyn spots the axe. He approaches the axe and takes it. Yes. This axe will do.
423602:20:16: <Benedict> "Once keep is tribes, we need to grab the rest of... all this for our guards." Nurel then decides to continue towards the dining room.
423702:20:47: <NachtRuine> "Yes. We'll get a caravan out here soon. But for now, we must move." Saav follows Nurel.
423802:21:25: <Viejoseph> "Which of you lot wants to give ol' Qojo a nice healin' boost? Come oooonnnnn, help a bud out."
423902:21:53: <Benedict> Nurel casts LAY ON HANDS on Qojo.
424002:21:54: <Benedict> 2d6
424102:21:54: <Dados> Benedict, 2d6: 4 [2d6=3,1]
424202:21:58: <Benedict> It barely does shit.
424302:22:23: <Viejoseph> "Just what I needed! Thanks bud, you did good back there!"
424402:22:44: <Benedict> "Nurel is bad healer, he knows." Come here, shadows, so we can KICK YOUR ASS.
424502:23:00: <Rainglove> YOU ARRIVE AT THE PRECIPICE OF DARKNESS
424602:23:05: <Rainglove> the precipice is a couple of closed doors
424702:23:11: <NachtRuine> Is it rain-slicked?
424802:23:15: <Rainglove> no
424902:23:18: <Rainglove> no penny arcade go home
425002:23:52: <NachtRuine> "Shall I sift to see past the door, or shall we just go in?"
425102:24:01: <NachtRuine> (question to statement)
425202:24:09: <Benedict> "Sift."
425302:24:57: <NachtRuine> He remembers that he cannot see past doors. "Er. I cannot. The doors are closed. My apologies."
425402:25:16: <Benedict> Are the doors locked?
425502:25:50: <Dados> Viejoseph, anything WEIRD about these doors?: 23 [1d20=11]
425602:25:50: <Viejoseph> 1d20+12 anything WEIRD about these doors?

426202:26:33: <Rainglove> but just doors
426302:26:45: <Benedict> Let's go in, then!
426402:26:48: <Viejoseph> >just doors
426502:26:49: <NachtRuine> Saav doesn't have a good feeling about this. He opens the door.
426602:26:54: <NachtRuine> s. Doors.
426702:27:03: <Viejoseph> what kind of gm are you? I want a 20 page analysis of the doors on my desk by Monday.

427502:28:04: <NachtRuine> this is the true evil
427602:28:08: <NachtRuine> ANYWAYS
427702:28:14: <NachtRuine> WHAT'S BEHIND DOOR NUMBER DARK
427802:28:20: <Viejoseph> http://funhoo.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Identifying-Wood-Yep-Its-Wood.jpg
427902:28:20: <Viejoseph> FIVE HOURS LATER
428002:28:21: <Hippocratesi> a Beholder
428102:28:21: <Rainglove> SURPRISE
428202:28:26: <Rainglove> IT WAS PAIN
428302:28:36: <NachtRuine> i remember that
428402:28:43: <Hippocratesi> >he doesn't know how to identify the many different types of wood
428502:28:59: <Goatwright> Gasp
428602:29:02: <Viejoseph> They're mahogany.
428702:30:29: <Rainglove> The entire room is shrowded in what seem to be living shadows. To those of you with K religion, they're undead shadows. There's a man inside. He seems like that goblin earlier, but different. Bigger, for one. More sure of himself. He feels much more strongly of both evil and magic.
428802:30:45: <Benedict> DISGUSTING.
428902:31:26: <Rainglove> He fuzzes back and forth between wolf and man less than the goblin did. You catch the occasional flicker of something other around his edges, but for the most part he seems to be an almost entirely ashen grey man.
429002:31:57: <Rainglove> he, also like that goblin, just watches you as you enter.
429102:32:09: <Viejoseph> "More of the same," Qojo says in a hushed tone.
429202:32:35: <Rainglove> The shadows rustle on the floor beneath your feet, occasionally brushing against you and sapping tiny amounts of your strength.
429302:32:42: <Benedict> "<Why does he insist on taking the form of a goblin.>"
429402:32:50: <Rainglove> This one is a man
429502:32:56: <Rainglove> HUman
429602:33:09: <Benedict> He took the form of the goblin earlier!
429702:33:13: <Rainglove> different guy
429802:33:14: <Benedict> So eh!
429902:33:20: <Benedict> ....EH!
430002:33:23: <Hippocratesi> "And who might you be, 'human'?"
430102:33:27: <Benedict> Remove what Nurel said.
430202:34:08: <NachtRuine> c-can i try k planes again
430302:34:18: <Rainglove> give it a shot, this is a different thing
430402:34:40: <NachtRuine> 1d20+7 plaanes
430502:34:41: <Dados> NachtRuine, plaanes: 21 [1d20=14]
430602:34:47: <Viejoseph> 1d20+6 just in case
430702:34:47: <Dados> Viejoseph, just in case: 26 [1d20=20]
430802:34:52: <NachtRuine> nice
430902:34:57: <Rainglove> "I am not named. Who are you, and I will repeat the question my shadows asked you. Why do you come to this place?"
431002:35:04: <Viejoseph> All that analysing of the doors really sharpened Qojo's mind.
431102:35:09: <Rainglove> like a KNIFE
431202:36:48: <Rainglove> He's something akin to a fetchling, and almost certainly a shapeshifter. Lawful evil, like the things you fought before. Saav you have an inkling that your god may have had a hand in this, though he's been suspiciously quiet about you murdering beings that live to serve his cause.
431302:37:03: <Rainglove> Probably from a plane of shadow or just a straight up plane of evil
431402:37:46: <NachtRuine> Saavou is /super/ /fucking/ /sketch/ about this.
431502:37:56: <Rainglove> You know that these sorts of things occasionally come into the material plane, either brought by wizards or particularly vengeful gods, and that in large enough numbers they can overwhelm almost anything. Judging from the number of shadows in this room, there are a very large number here.
431602:39:36: <Rainglove> shadows have been known to serve more benign purposes though. Qojo's heard of those who form particularly strong bonds with darkness and the shadows, and they aren't all necessarily evil.
431702:39:58: <NachtRuine> Saav attempts to tone back any hostility, because he very likely will wreck us. "We came in response to being told people were killed here."
431802:40:26: <Goatwright> Waakanti looks down at this human and hmms, scratching his chin.
431902:40:37: <Hippocratesi> Gwyn holds his tongue.
432002:43:12: <Rainglove> "The others told you why we came. Chaos reigned here. It continues to reign. This plane is filled with it." While his face is almost entirely expressionless, the man seems absolutely disgusted. "We have come to purge it. If it will not bow to the tongue, it will fall to the teeth."
432102:45:42: <NachtRuine> "We hold the same purpose. We both desire to purge this land of chaos." Saav glances at the holy symbol of his god. "Were the people within this hold perpetrators of chaos."
432202:48:39: <Rainglove> "The land stinks of it. Do you not see them, writhing across this world? The people do not serve order. They serve only themselves. This place was not the strongest offender, but it was the most easily destroyed."
432302:49:24: <Benedict> "Killing sends no message, only continues 'chaos' you fight against."
432402:49:57: <Viejoseph> "Usin' chaotic measures to reduce chaos seems a bit backwards, don'tcha think?"
432502:50:29: <Goatwright> "For once I agree with the hairy one."
432602:50:43: <Hippocratesi> "He speaks the truth."
432702:51:02: <NachtRuine> Saav is too busy sweating bullets to speak.
432802:52:28: <Rainglove> "The only disorder in this keep is your own. What chaos was here is purged, and the corpses of those who once dwelled here will strengthen the teeth. While this is not our first choice, it is the necessary one."
432902:53:30: <Viejoseph> "But ya kinda betrayed your own way of thinkin'. You can't claim to be lawful then commit so many chaotic acts for lawful ends. Along the way you're gonna change. You're taintin' yourselves with these acts and betraying your own philosophy."
433002:54:01: <Benedict> "All you did was destroy stability of good people and force them to run to our town. How was this keep in disorder? How did you even help bring stability? All you did was force people to have to start again, or, if they did not find our town, become bandits and steal from good people, only furthering the chaos."
433102:55:08: <Goatwright> "You would need to perish this world, which would only prove to be futile in the end."
433202:55:16: <Goatwright> "For every action, a reaction."
433302:55:36: <Goatwright> "Destruction breeds chaos no matter the cause."
433402:56:23: <Hippocratesi> "This 'order' that you fight for is a lost cause, demon. You cannot win."
433502:57:56: <Rainglove> "There is no chaos in battle. There is the quiet failing of disorder, the falling of the weak-willed. And then there is only the dark, and peace. The chaos that spreads from this place will, with time, be quelled. It is merely one part of the process."
433602:58:54: <Benedict> "You purposely make chaos, in the belief it will be order? You contradict! If you fight chaos, then why make more chaos?"
433702:59:02: <Viejoseph> "No chaos in battle? Yeah, alright buddy. Think you've already got the wrong end of the stick and you've barely begun. You're blind to the chaos you've wrought here in the name of law. If that's the case, well, you're gonna be quelling a whole lot of this plane, if not all of it."
433803:01:20: <Rainglove> "That is my intention. Where disorder seeds itself, there we will go. Others have failed, before us, but where they were weak we are strong. While there may, for now, be chaos, it will soon be ended."
433903:02:48: <Viejoseph> "Then you may as well start with yourself if you're seeking to quell disorder. Others have failed before you and you'll fall in line and fail as well. Preying on a plane that's taken such a heavy hit, course there's going to be some chaos, but for law to form it doesn't need your outside involvement. You're an outsider, you literally don't belong here in name
434003:06:10: <Benedict> "You continue in circles, surprised his feet did not dig a hole for him to hide in." Nurel prays to his goblin gods for patience. "You purposely make chaos, so that you can go and quell that chaos, and it's just... a repeating motion of crushing things, going where they ran to, and crushing them again. Problems not solved. Problem made by you. Is he desperate
434103:06:26: <Benedict> for work? Is he trying to gain favor with another being? Is he no doubt failing, because he continues to make chaos?"
434203:06:56: <NachtRuine> Saav bucks up and speaks the demon's language. "[You do not follow law. You follow emptiness. You desire for all living things on this plane to die. The very nature of life is disordered, and thus you desire it purged. Demon, let me tell you this: there is no law in the void. Law cannot exist without the disorder it fights. It cannot exist without life.]"
434303:07:54: <Benedict> Why is Saav speaking so... EVILLY?
434403:30:49: <Rainglove> The man laughs. "There is law in life. We are law, and we live. Your god is law, and he lives. We chase the chaos until there is nowhere for it to run, and when it is done running, it is devoured. It is the nature of things. How will you fight this?"
434503:35:59: <Benedict> Nurel takes a look around the room. Is there anything, perhaps, keeping this outsider on this plane that could be destroyed and send him back home?
434603:37:50: <Rainglove> Once outsiders are summoned they're here, especially if a god brought them in.
434703:38:28: <Benedict> Fug.
434803:38:28: <NachtRuine> "We will fight it as we always have: by creating settlements. Without structure, law falls apart. We came to this keep not only in response to death, but to take it, and use it to further the spread of law. Your job is done here, so should you not move on to the next source of chaos."
434903:41:06: <Rainglove> "We require a place to grow stronger, and to feed. This place offers us both. To where would we move that we could do this?"
435003:47:48: <Goatwright> "What about the dwarven ruins?"
435103:48:04: <Goatwright> He looks to his allies.
435203:50:44: <NachtRuine> Saav is struck with inspiration. "You have seen how this land is ravaged. There is a city by the name of Riverton. Close to it is the heart of the destruction. Surely it could use purging."
435303:54:42: <Rainglove> The man nods slowly. "That place is... dangerous. Filled with the unliving. You are correct though, it is less than silent." He pauses for a moment. "I am not normally inclined to... relocation. But for another hand of his, we will go. I will gather myself. You may go." And with that the shadows begin creeping in from around the keep.
435403:55:53: <NachtRuine> Saav is shocked. "You are another agent of my lord."
435503:56:25: <Benedict> Oh Gods, what. Nurel looks to Saav, and mystery man.
435603:58:25: <Viejoseph> "'Another hand of his'? Oh boy."
435703:58:30: <Rainglove> Mystery man doesn't seem inclined to respond. Not once to mince words, him. He turns away and heads for a door, shadows swirling around him as he goes.
435803:58:44: <Viejoseph> "Well ain't this just peachy."
435903:59:36: <NachtRuine> Saav has not had a good day today. He's lost in thought as to the implications.
436004:00:31: <Rainglove> victory? music plays
436104:01:03: <Benedict> Friendships lost. At least the keep belongs to the group.
436204:01:47: <Benedict> Nurel wonders if his GMO-making potions worked out.
436304:01:50: <Goatwright> "Your beliefs seem difficult."
436404:02:13: <NachtRuine> Saav uneasily looks to the group, mask hiding his 'ohshitohshit' expression. "The keep is ours. We should head back."
436504:02:26: <Viejoseph> Qojo gives him a lame expression.
436604:03:11: <Hippocratesi> Gwyn narrows his eyes at the half-orc and then nods. "Fine. It would be useful to bring others here."
436704:03:19: <Viejoseph> "So how many of your siblings were present there? Was ol' granny shadow tinkering along on the floor, tryna creep a bit closer for a warm cuddle?"
436804:04:46: <Goatwright> Waakanti elbows Qojo in the side a bit. "Your mouth is just as difficult."
436904:05:01: <Goatwright> He then proceeds to look around the keep a bit.
437004:05:03: <NachtRuine> Saav sighs in an understanding way. "You remember how I said I've done nasty things before. What got me here was one such."
437104:06:16: <Viejoseph> "Man, I get it when you guys elbow me other times, but this is /different/. Someone needs to damn well ask, may as well be Mr Big Mouth. That being of pure condensed evil just acknowledged him as working for the same... whatever it is. This is news to me and I think it's news to you lot. You'd be a damn fool not to ask questions."
437204:06:30: <Rainglove> It certainly is a keep. The portcullis and main gate are a bit smashed up from plants and death but are definitely repairable. The armory still only really contains standard +1 arms and armor which aren't too useful to you.
437304:06:47: <Viejoseph> Gosp, a pair of +1 fists!
437404:07:10: <Rainglove> There is a treasury, though it's mostly empty. Splitting up what's left gets you each 500 gold.
437504:07:21: <NachtRuine> "And your worries are understandable. Ask what you like, away."
437604:07:28: <NachtRuine> ask away*
437704:11:55: <Benedict> "Why did Saav support attacking him? How is Saav different from man?"
437804:16:12: <Viejoseph> "Makes me wonder what he wants out of all of this."
437904:17:22: <NachtRuine> "The man adheres to Cath'paz much closer than I do. He is a pure adherent, in fact."
438004:18:51: <Benedict> "What makes Saav similar besides the god?"
438104:18:52: <Viejoseph> "Cath'paz? Doesn't sound good to me."
438204:21:55: <NachtRuine> "We both follow the word of law. Our methods are much different, as you can tell." He looks to Qojo. "Cath'paz is the god of revenge and of the fallen."
438304:25:30: <Benedict> "Revenge. Fallen. Says nothing about law. Nothing about slaughtering keep to "destroy chaos"." Nurel is still disgusted by that shadow man, and a little at Saav. "He never answer. What made this place Chaos. He created it himself."
438404:29:02: <NachtRuine> "I do not understand why Cath'paz is lawful, but he is. My theory is that he does not instigate hostility, but rather responds to it."
438504:31:24: <Benedict> Nurel responds with a huff from his nostrils. "Yet Cath'paz send outsider to kill people here. Potentially innocent." Nurel takes one last look at the place and makes notes in his head about what to do with it. "Nurel dislike Cath'paz. Saav should remove himself from Cath'paz." With that, Nurel heads out. Maybe go back to town. Who knows.
438604:33:41: <NachtRuine> Saav follows Nurel. "That is the issue. I cannot. I owe a debt to him, and you must always repay debts to gods, lest you meet their wrath."
438704:35:44: <Benedict> "What debt is owed? Spread law? Force worship of Cath'paz? Destroy all 'chaotic beings'." Nurel and his mule carry on. "Goblins would be considered 'chaotic'."
438804:39:46: <NachtRuine> "Spread law. That is why I became a king: to spread the word of law. It is Cath'paz's belief that law comes from the destruction of chaos. It is my belief that law comes from people: that they yearn to be governed in some manner. It is here we disagree, but we work towards the same end: the spread of law."
438904:40:26: <Benedict> "Others also believe in spread of law." Nurel knows that much about the gods, at least!
439004:43:01: <NachtRuine> Saav sighs. "I suppose I must explain my situation in detail." He raises his hands, exposing his wrists. They are wrapped by cold steel, and in fact, Saav bangs the two together to exemplify that. "Do you know what these are."
439104:43:39: <Benedict> "Shackles. Slave?"
439204:44:39: <NachtRuine> Saav looks downwards. "Yes. Nearly 5 years. The last 6 months were the worst."
439304:46:59: <Benedict> Nurel switches his musket to his left hand and rolls up his right sleeve until a hobgoblin slave mark can be seen. "Was slave. Only few months after apocalypse."
439404:49:44: <NachtRuine> "My sympathies." He lowers his arms. "I needed a way out. The last 6 months were spent under orcish slavers. I nearly died numerous times from their treatment. Cath'paz gave me the means to escape, under his power. It was he who gave me this mask. This rapier."
439504:51:13: <Benedict> "Cath'paz still kill anyone that not fit his vision of law."
439604:53:04: <NachtRuine> "The point I am trying to make is that I cannot leave his service until I have paid him back for my life. And I do not know how to pay him back."
439704:54:11: <Benedict> "Probably expect Saav to train new follower."
439804:58:24: <NachtRuine> "I cannot be certain. I must convene with him tonight. Perhaps he can shed some light."
439905:00:45: <Benedict> Nurel continues on his way to town, but remembers. He's supposed to be a paladin. "Find a way. Nurel help you, so long as it not... disagreeable." And with that, Nurel silently continues back to town.
440005:07:06: <NachtRuine> Saav stops and sighs. He clearly needs to speak with Cath'paz, if only for just a momentl.
440105:07:32: <Benedict> Blah-blah day-and-a-half later, back to town. Nurel makes the necessary rounds telling guards about equipment at the keep, then takes the GMO potion to the farmers, giving them the recipe to recreate it.
440205:08:27: <Rainglove> zim zam zoom, straight to the moon
440305:08:33: <Rainglove> the things are delivered
440405:09:36: <Benedict> Two birds killed, Nurel drops the mule at the stables and takes the road out of town to the mountain pass.
440505:10:51: <Rainglove> along the open road he does travel
440605:11:49: <Rainglove> eventually you locate obvious signs of life, and manage to zero in on the goblin encampment
440705:11:56: <NachtRuine> Saav attempts to convene with Cath'paz. He needs answers.
440805:12:23: <Rainglove> They are clearly suspicious of you, nurel, but nobody makes any attempt to attack you as you arrive. They are watching, though.
440905:12:54: <Benedict> Nurel can accept that. Do they have any banners to show their tribal affiliation?
441005:13:17: <Rainglove> ah yes, the banner of the flaming faggot
441105:13:23: <Rainglove> I mean uh, sharpened claw
441205:13:37: <Benedict> Wow, rude, Rain.
441305:14:22: <Rainglove> Saav, you don't really get a direct reply. More of a "Well?"
441405:14:46: <NachtRuine> "Why did you say nothing when I killed your servants?"
441505:15:12: <Benedict> Nurel makes a cautious approach towards the camp, on the look out for any surprise spears, javelins, or arrows.
441605:17:43: <Rainglove> "There was nothing to say. You wanted something, they wanted something. Had I an especially strong desire for either of you to have what you wanted I would have interfered. You both survived."
441705:18:48: <Rainglove> Nurel, nobody's training weapons on you. They're just going about their gobliny business. Cooking, preparing dead shit, and you believe you hear the ring of a smith's hammer somewhere in the back.
441805:20:54: <Benedict> Maybe this tribe is related to whatever tribe the goblin smith in town came from, Nurel thought to himself, and continued approaching.
441905:22:17: <Rainglove> You arrive with no real trouble. Somebody does hail you as you enter though, and calls to you in goblin. "<What do you seek here?>"
442005:25:36: <Benedict> A big group of goblins. It's been so long since Nurel saw one. It's enough to put a smile on his face. "<Communication. To see if I can help. Perhaps see if I can convince you to move to the town of Novit.>"
442105:26:06: <NachtRuine> He can understand this. "My lord, I am ever grateful for what you did for me 5 years ago. How can I pay this debt back?"
442205:27:05: <Rainglove> A few goblins pause at the name. "<Novit? We are not wanted there. Why would we go?>"
442305:27:49: <Benedict> "<Novit is changing. The old leader, Tolay, stepped down after the town united in saying they didn't want him. You're looking at one of the leaders now.>"
442405:28:12: <Goatwright> Waakanti maybe goes to look for those wizards or, uh, something.
442505:29:24: <Hippocratesi> Gwyn, uh
442605:29:30: <Hippocratesi> makes the long journey back home
442705:29:40: <Goatwright> no ;_;
442805:29:59: <Hippocratesi> he's getting the tribe you
442905:30:01: <Hippocratesi> double giant
443005:30:06: <Goatwright> wow
443105:30:20: <Hippocratesi> at least he has one :^]
443205:31:43: <Rainglove> Saav, you feel what is almost a cosmic chuckle. "You seek freedom from my service. This is not hidden from me. But at this time I need you. I will not seek vengeance against you so long as you do not actively oppose me, do not be afraid for that."
443305:32:14: <Rainglove> "You may have your freedom from my service, but not yet. Soon."
443405:32:43: <Rainglove> Nurel, the goblins seems pretty surprised. "<A leader? How?>"
443505:33:01: <Rainglove> waakanti you locate the wizards, who are where they have been
443605:33:06: <Rainglove> the familiar smell of burning magic, ahhhh
443705:33:41: <Benedict> "<A Blackened Tooth has a way with words. I, with help with a few others, convinced the town that Tolay would not help them.>"
443805:35:38: <NachtRuine> "Simply point me in the direction you need me in."
443905:40:00: <Rainglove> "<You... seem to be speaking the truth. I will spread the word. We will send a few, to verify what you say. If it is true, we will come.>"
444005:41:29: <Rainglove> "All will be made apparent when it is time. I must wait for a few more pieces to fall before I can release you, but it will not be long. Have patience. Have I not rewarded you well for your service thus far?"
444105:44:14: <Benedict> "<Please do. The town of Novit will be the future for our people. These tattered tents and dark caves don't have to be our future for long.>" Nurel displays some divine magic so his next words hold weight. "<Our Gods. Goblin Gods. Blackened Tooth Gods. They want us to unite as one, and they have asked me to do it.>"
444205:44:59: <Benedict> "<And... if you choose to live in Novit or choose to return here, do tell your Wise Woman, or whomever is your leader, that a goblin named Nurel wishes to speak with him or her. And that if your tribe needs help, know that I will do what I can.>"
444305:45:42: <Rainglove> The goblin considers Nurel's words. "<We will tell her. Thank you for this news.>"
444405:46:21: <Benedict> Nurel does the typical goblin goodbye, takes three steps back, and turns to head back to town. Was easier than he expected.
444505:47:50: <Rainglove> away he swaggers
444605:48:47: <NachtRuine> "You have, my lord, and I am grateful. Thank you for answering my call."
444705:50:32: <Rainglove> Cath'paz signs off
444805:57:59: <NachtRuine> While still uneasy, his words certainly did help.
444920:24:42: <Goatwright> He nods appreciatively, brandishing his hammer and setting it down, it towering over him somewhat. "Yes. My people guide my hand, I suppose. Thank you."
445020:26:43: <viejo> "Man, I never even realised just how freakin' big it is! I mean, at first glance you think we're all a bit weird, but I mean, considering we can all wreck face it goes the other way!"
445120:29:03: <viejo> "I'm used to practice fights and urgh they get so LAME. 'Qojo go easy on the recruits.'" He groans. "Some skinny runt with a quivering fat lower lip blubbing about havin' to throw baby's first punch that packs as much force as can be generated by two and a half kittens."
445220:29:54: <Hippocratesi> Gwyn has no idea what this nigga is saying.
445320:30:00: <Goatwright> Neither does Waakanti.
445420:30:29: <viejo> "Oh. I'm doin' it again." Qojo's buzz dies quickly and he looks somewhat glum.
445520:31:56: <Hippocratesi> "It does tend to happen."
445620:32:48: <Goatwright> "Do you often seek battle, small ape?" He kneels down a bit to be more on eye-level, in a gesture that doesn't seem to be threatening.
445720:34:19: <viejo> Qojo laughs at the 'small ape.' "Guess I am pretty small to you two, you big ol' hunks of meat." He looks between the two of them. "Well, I mean, sorta, it's a nice change actually havin' a challenge, doin' some genuine good with what I have, and it is a buzz but, I mean, I don't wanna die and... stuff."
445820:36:24: <Hippocratesi> "Well, no one wishes to die."
445920:37:01: <Hippocratesi> "But sometimes things must be done, things where that could lead to their deaths."
446020:37:28: <Hippocratesi> i can't into grammar anymore.
446120:38:21: <Goatwright> Seems fitting for such a lug. :^)
446220:38:43: <Hippocratesi> :^[
446320:39:59: <viejo> "Yeah, very true. I lived a sheltered, comfortable life for so long and it bored me senseless. Now I'm out here it's, great, really, lots of new people and places and things to do!... But... It kind of makes me realise what I had in my old life and I can never go back."
446420:41:28: <Goatwright> "I know a similar feeling, not being able to return to what once was."
446520:42:38: <Hippocratesi> "As do I. That magical blast destroyed my home and most of my people. There are not many of us left."
446620:43:04: <viejo> "Oh." He looks down at his feet. "That's real bad. I'm sorry that happened to you."
446720:43:56: <Goatwright> "Those of my people who do remain are scattered to the winds, among other tribes or finding their own new lands. But I do not believe they are dead. We remain strong in the face of this challenge."
446820:45:40: <Goatwright> "
446920:45:47: <Goatwright> "But I suppose we have all suffered."
447020:46:33: <Hippocratesi> "I suppose it is up to us to make things better again?"
447120:47:59: <viejo> "That's right!" Qojo brightens up. "We'll get this land nice and smooth-sailin' again. I'm kinda concerned about that demon or whatever it was the other day and our arrangement with it."
447220:48:17: <Goatwright> Waakanti shakes his head. "My only goals are to find what has done this, and if it was man, eat them and steal their soul. This, and to restore myself to what I once was."
447320:48:31: <Goatwright> "What happens to this, your land, is not among my great concerns."
447420:52:05: <Hippocratesi> "Hmph. In perfect honesty, my primary concern is getting a home for my people again. I have no interest in these other races either."
447520:54:24: <Goatwright> "I wish no ill towards those of this land; it is simply not my concern."
447621:01:01: <Goatwright> Waakanti decides to change the topic! He prods Qojo gently on the chest. "Small ape. I do believe I had challenged you moons ago. If you crave battle, now may be time to battle."
447721:01:11: <Goatwright> "If you are not afraid of my hammer."
447821:07:00: <viejo> Qojo's eyebrows jump up his forehead quickly before returning to their normal position.
447921:07:10: <viejo> "Ooo. Ooo yes. Oh I'm game if you are."
448021:09:17: <viejo> "Where dya wanna throw doooown then?"
448121:11:18: <Goatwright> "Outside of town, so that we do not scare the townsmen."
448221:11:29: <Goatwright> "All I ask is that I might be allowed to use my all, such as you are."
448321:15:36: <viejo> "Go for it, just, don't kill me, alright?" He laughs.
448421:16:44: <Goatwright> "I have enough haunting me. Your mouth would not be a welcome invitation." Was that a joke? It was probably a joke. He's making jokes!
448521:17:51: <viejo> "Ho ho! That's extra incentive to swing wide with that fuck-off-huge hammer of yours then!"
448621:17:59: <viejo> They go off someplace suitable. Does Gwyn FOLLOW?
448721:18:06: <viejo> Does he wish to VIEW COMBAT MOST INTENSE?
448821:20:33: <viejo> 1d20+5 initiative pls

449621:22:27: <viejo> OH I'm equipping Qojo with his nunchuk by the way
449721:22:29: <viejo> ;^)
449821:22:52: <Goatwright> Waakanti pulls out his earthbreaker, his knuckles going white as he clutches do it, and rather than advancing he stays put and gives Qojo a particularly strange look, echoing a few Giantish words that fill him with some doubt.
449921:22:54: <Goatwright> -2 to attack rolls.
450021:23:03: <Goatwright> yer go

452021:26:39: <viejo> DO YER WORST
452121:28:19: <Goatwright> Waakanti gives another shout and his weapon begins glowing slightly. He then moves in for a POWER ATTACK.
452221:28:26: <viejo> immediate action to trip
452321:28:29: <viejo> sozbro
452421:28:32: <Goatwright> wait what

452621:28:47: <viejo> that's the whole flowing monk shit

453521:30:08: <viejo> that's bang on the DC
453621:30:19: <NachtRuine> Saav just happened to be in the area and has decided to spectate the fight as well. He presumes this is not a death match.
453721:30:24: <viejo> I've been forgetting to apply it, but you get sickened from any immediate action cmb that's successful
453821:30:40: <viejo> reflex halves it, and seeing as it's only 1 round at the moment it's halved to nothing
453921:32:02: <viejo> 1d20+10 aoo from falling prone
454021:32:02: <Puffgoof> Viejo, aoo from falling prone: 29 [1d20=19]

456321:45:54: <viejo> so that is a shame
456421:46:19: <viejo> 1d20+5
456521:46:19: <Puffgoof> Viejo, 1d20+5: 19 [1d20=14]

459621:51:30: <Goatwright> WHY DID I EVEN TRY
459721:51:43: <Goatwright> WELL UH HANG ON
459821:51:49: <Goatwright> I'LL DO SOMETHING ELSE
459921:51:51: <viejo> but

460621:52:18: <viejo> 1d8+4 gudnite
460721:52:18: <Puffgoof> Viejo, gudnite: 8 [1d8=4]
460821:52:26: <Goatwright> poo
460921:52:34: <NachtRuine> wait are we using dados or puffgoof
461021:52:42: <viejo> Qojo kicks Waakanti across the face and presumably knocks him out.
461121:52:44: <Goatwright> Puffgoof needs to go
461221:53:43: <viejo> 1d20+9 pls
461321:53:43: <Puffgoof> Viejo, pls: 12 [1d20=3]
461421:53:45: <viejo> WHY
461521:54:07: <Goatwright> JUST AS WAAKANTI IS KNOCKED OUT, QOJO SUDDENLY FINDS HIMSELF SIMILARLY ASLEEP
461621:54:12: <Goatwright> But peacefully
461721:54:14: <Goatwright> It is very nice
461821:54:39: <viejo> Qojo snoozes with a smile on his face, dreaming of running across the land and kicking giant's faces. Bliss.
461921:54:49: <NachtRuine> Saav is very confused by this result. He does not know who has won.
462021:54:57: <Benedict> Nurel walks in just as the two knock each other out. "What."
462121:54:58: <Goatwright> JUST AS PLANNED
462221:56:00: <NachtRuine> Saav looks to Nurel. "The two were in combat. Not a death match. I think."
462321:56:17: <Goatwright> Gwyn you must clarify for them
462421:56:19: <Benedict> "Why was they doing that?"
462521:56:29: <viejo> or
462621:56:29: <viejo> is there anything I roll to wake up
462721:57:16: <NachtRuine> "I arrived in midst of combat. I cannot tell the purpose. Especially since they both appear to be unconscious."
462821:58:28: <Benedict> Nurel walks up to Qojo and tries to poke up away. With his musket.
462921:58:34: <Goatwright> You wake up about now.
463021:58:43: <Goatwright> Pre-poke
463121:58:50: <viejo> Qojo yawns. "Man, I was havin' the most wonderful dream!"
463221:59:09: <viejo> "It was- hey, watch where you're pokin' that!"
463321:59:20: <Goatwright> I suppose Waakanti also wakes up, less dreamily.
463421:59:36: <viejo> Qojo goes to offer a hand to Waakanti, despite how silly that might look.
463521:59:45: <NachtRuine> "For what purpose were you two in combat."
463622:01:05: <Goatwright> Waakanti takes the hand and stands up. "Your fighting is just as annoying as your mouth, but I will admit there is... an advantage to your size."
463722:03:16: <viejo> "Hey, don't feel too bad! I've been training since I popped outta the womb! Besides, ya nearly hit me and, man, that would've hurt. Felt it tickle the hairs on my skin as it descended."
463822:03:34: <Benedict> Nurel puts this as a mystery he will never solve.
463922:03:59: <NachtRuine> Saav looks to Nurel. "We can at least assume it was not out of malice. Perhaps a challenge or duel."
464022:04:05: <Goatwright> "It was a test of honor. A challenge," he answers.
464122:04:17: <Benedict> "Qojo insult honor?"
464222:04:36: <Goatwright> "Moons ago."
464322:05:55: <viejo> "Hey, at least you know my use now. Besides, we ever get in a situation where more 'honourable combat' needs to take place - I'm ya man. Heck, I'll pull his pants down, nab his diary and write a few entries into it while beatin' him into the mud."
464422:06:39: <NachtRuine> "You boast too much."
464522:07:08: <Benedict> "Does not sound honorable."
464622:07:22: <viejo> 'Yeah, okay Mr 'I will bring a fire to this land that even the seas themselves could not extinguish.'" Qojo puts on a deep, serious voice for the last part.
464722:08:12: <NachtRuine> "Have I not toned back my dramaticism since then."
464822:09:06: <viejo> 'That particularly line stuck in my mind. Your recently revealed previous alliance kind of poked it into conscious thought again as well. They seem to fit together well, don'tcha think?"
464922:09:27: <viejo> particular*
465022:11:30: <Goatwright> "I do not think we need to be fighting."
465122:11:39: <NachtRuine> "Ah. I remember now that I have not yet explained myself to the rest of you. Very well. I am an open book, for the most part."
465222:12:04: <viejo> "It's not fighting - it's a damn valid point. I don't see why the rest of ya are so easy goin' about it."
465322:12:53: <viejo> "Especially seein' as we're comin' into some kind of power despite not knowin' each other at all. I mean, I don't even know ya name still!" He directs this at ______.
465422:13:38: <Benedict> "Saav talk to Nurel about already, on road back to town. Nurel not happy, but Nurel get answers."
465522:13:59: <Goatwright> "The orc has certainly done enough in the effort for this town." He uncomfortably scratches his beard. "And I did not ask for this power."
465622:14:58: <viejo> "You three," he directs this at Gwyn, _____, and Nurel, "I know what you lot want I'm pretty sure. Some place for your people. That much seems obvious. I don't know what Saavou's damn intentions are and if some of his past comments and alliances are anythin' to go by, a guy's gonna be suspicious."
465722:18:07: <NachtRuine> "My intentions are simple. I want the world to improve, to return to the way it was before this whole event. It is my belief that we must start by organizing ourselves, under word of law."
465822:19:35: <viejo> "'Under word of law'."
465922:20:29: <viejo> "I'm hopin' it's not the same sort of law as that demon fella wanted."
466022:20:51: <Hippocratesi> Gwyn awakens from his hibernation. "That demon we met before serves under the same God that you do. This 'word of law' you talk about is quite vague in its meaning."
466122:21:15: <viejo> "I doubt it seein' as he didn't exactly greet you particularly well, but a past alliance is still somethin' to be suspicious about, it gave you some leeway with him, her, it... whatever, at least."
466222:22:20: <NachtRuine> "The demon is a pure adherent to Cath'paz. I am not. We do not know each other, he simply gave me the leeway that he did due to our commonality."
466322:22:58: <Goatwright> "Your god's name sounds silly."
466422:23:05: <Goatwright> Waakanti contributing as usual.
466522:24:52: <NachtRuine> "That is a matter of opinion. You are entitled to yours." Saav distinctly says nothing of his own opinion to Cath'paz's name.
466622:25:32: <viejo> "Don't go talkin' about honour then say somethin' like that - step it up."
466722:26:08: <viejo> "Does this Cath'paz hold any power over you?"
466822:26:31: <viejo> "Also, can ya take that damn mask off when you talk to us? It's hard when I can't even see your expression."
466922:26:54: <Goatwright> "I believe that is the point."
467022:27:23: <Hippocratesi> "I shall leave you all to this debate." Gwyn stands up from his seat. "I am leaving and shall return in short. With others." The Golden Man fades in the horizon.
467122:28:22: <NachtRuine> Saav takes off the mask. "I personally feel more comfortable with the mask on, but very well." He has a fairly neutral expression at the moment, though his eyes suggest remorse. "Cath'paz does not hold direct power over me. It is a debt to him that I must pay to him before we may part ways."
467222:29:00: <viejo> "Why? Why do you wear the mask?"
467322:29:15: <viejo> "A... debt? What sorta debt?"
467422:32:27: <NachtRuine> "The mask makes things easier. My voice would dare not betray a lie I tell with it on. Like the one I told Rotter. As for the debt." Saav raises an arm, revealing a shackle around his wrist. "It is a debt of liberation."
467522:33:33: <viejo> "That only makes me wonder how easily it is for you to lie to us."
467622:34:36: <viejo> Qojo eyes it up before returning his gaze back to Saavou's mashed face. "Sounds like he has some power over you if you're indebted to him. Just how powerful is this Cath'paz fella?"
467722:36:25: <NachtRuine> "I can cast a spell of truth, if it would put you at ease. As for Cath'paz, he is a god. A number of my spells come from his power."
467822:37:30: <viejo> "How would I know it's a spell of truth? I'm as magical as a bean."
467922:37:43: <Goatwright> "I would."
468022:37:44: <viejo> "A god? Well... god damn."
468122:38:20: <NachtRuine> "You would know because it would affect you as well. It is a zone of truth."
468222:39:11: <viejo> "Well, I got things in my past I ain't happy about but, if we're all stuck in this together then that might be worth it."
468322:40:08: <NachtRuine> "Very well. Make sure not to resist it." Saav casts the Zone of Truth spell! Everyone in a 20 foot radius is physically incapable of lying unless they feel like Will saving!
468422:40:22: <NachtRuine> Saav willingly fails the check.
468522:40:30: <Benedict> 1d20+8 Fuck telling the truth
468622:40:30: <Puffgoof> Benedict, Fuck telling the truth: 28 [1d20=20]

469822:42:16: <Benedict> Enjoy telling the TRUTH, Waakanti.
469922:42:20: <viejo> Just because you FAILED IT.
470022:42:25: <NachtRuine> Saav and Waak must not lie.
470122:42:35: <viejo> But nah, Qojo lets it work its magic.
470222:42:39: <Goatwright> FINE THEN.
470322:43:24: <viejo> wouldn't be very LAWFUL or GOOD of him to talk the talk then not tell the tell
470422:43:37: <NachtRuine> "If you are uncomfortable with speaking the truth, you may leave the area."
470522:43:55: <Goatwright> "I do not care."
470622:44:25: <NachtRuine> Saav has a sit down because he doesn't feel like standing at the moment.
470722:45:34: <viejo> "I don't think it works like that, if this thing really works, we need to know the basics; that none of us have ill intent. Don't need to go askin' about anythin' else."
470822:45:44: <Goatwright> Waakanti likes standing.
470922:46:33: <Benedict> Nurel sits on the floor and starts cleaning his musket.
471022:48:38: <NachtRuine> "I do not wish to see any of you harmed significantly. I simply wish to have the world back in order, as opposed to the chaos that reigns now."
471122:49:52: <Goatwright> "What would you do to pursue that?"
471222:50:08: <Goatwright> Curiosity!
471322:52:14: <NachtRuine> "I would expand our settlement, and encourage others to be created as well, although I would prefer having the largest settlement. With you all, I would also attempt to clear out chaos: the undead in the dwarven ruins come to mind as an example."
471422:53:33: <viejo> "What power does Cath'paz hold over you?"
471522:55:09: <NachtRuine> "There is the debt. He has his own plans, and I simply happen to fit a role within it. He told me this much when I convened with him. Once I have done what he expects, the debt will be paid off, and he will not hold any sway over me."
471622:56:33: <viejo> "What is it that he expects from you and, if you don't follow suite, what happens to you?"
471722:58:45: <NachtRuine> "I do not know for certain what he expects from me other than for me to act as I already have. Similarly, I do not know what happens if I do not fulfill these expectations, but I fear smiting may be related."
471823:00:47: <Goatwright> "Smiting?"
471923:03:02: <NachtRuine> "As in 'strike me down'. Generally speaking, gods are not beings one should cross."
472023:07:10: <Goatwright> "I see."
472123:08:20: <NachtRuine> "Any further questions?"
472223:08:39: <NachtRuine> Saav feels a little weird being able to actually ask a question, as opposed to stating it.
472323:09:39: <Goatwright> He looks to Qojo.
472423:09:58: <viejo> "What do you... honestly," he adds with a light smile, "expect Cath'paz to ask of you? I'm presuming you would rather do that than be 'smited,' and if it's anything like what that other guy was doin' then it's gonna be a real tricky situation, ain't it?"
472523:11:27: <NachtRuine> "Since the two of us both agree that the word of law needs to be spread, I presume it is exactly that. Vague, yes, but it is the most accurate way I can put it."
472623:11:55: <NachtRuine> "Without being uncertain about the truthfulness behind my words, of course."
472723:13:25: <viejo> "Seems his definition of 'law' is somewhat different to what others would take the word to mean. What's the likelihood of him askin' you to do as the other guy we met is doing?"
472823:16:46: <NachtRuine> "I... Do not know. As I said before, however, I do believe he expects for me to act as I normally would. I feel I, we, rather, have done a good job of bringing law thus far, and I would hope that Cath'paz understands that while our methods are different, we both work to the same ideal."
472923:17:42: <viejo> "Alright, that's it from me. There's a danger he'll ask you to perform as the other guy is and refusal will end in smiting, so I'm wary of that, but I ain't gonna act on somethin' that hasn't happened yet."
473023:18:05: <Goatwright> "I have no questions myself."
473123:18:10: <viejo> "So, whose turn is it next to be placed under the spotlight and be bombarded by questions?"
473223:19:37: <NachtRuine> "I simply created this for myself, since my integrity was in question, but if you desire to use it for other reasons, as long as they agree, I'll keep the spell up. But know its power wanes. The time limit is rather restrictive."
473323:20:09: <viejo> "Then there's no time to waste. Big fella, what's your name?"
473423:20:47: <Goatwright> "I do not wish to say."
473523:21:04: <Goatwright> He looks almost smug at this response.
473623:22:35: <viejo> "Right riiiiight. You have fun being nameless. I'm gonna call you Mr X from now on then."
473723:22:54: <viejo> "No, wait, that sounds too cool, you can be No-Name Freddy."
473823:23:08: <Goatwright> "If you must."
473923:23:17: <viejo> "It's mysteeeerious. Ooooo!"
474023:25:45: <Goatwright> "Anything else?"
474123:25:47: <NachtRuine> "I intend to continue addressing you as giant. Why do you insist upon anonymity?"
474223:27:26: <Goatwright> "Names are considered objects of close trust and social permanence among my people."
474323:27:43: <Goatwright> "It is similarly why I have neglected to remember your names fully."
474423:27:46: <Goatwright> "It would be rude"
474523:28:02: <Goatwright> -rude +disrespectful
474623:29:03: <NachtRuine> "While I do not understand, I shall accept your answer." Probly like 1 minute left.
474723:29:13: <viejo> "You're not among your people any more and won't be for a while, I'm thinkin'. Might want to start gettin' used to the real world."
474823:29:38: <Benedict> "Qojo, do not disrespect."
474923:30:28: <viejo> "Alright alright, it's just, how do they even function socially? They can't /all/ be close so what happens then? One of them says 'hey you, giant!' and seven of them turn around and ask if they were referring to them?"
475023:31:02: <viejo> "Or do they address each other by what they're wearing to distinguish them apart - "you in the yellow hat!" I mean, really, what?"
475123:31:11: <Goatwright> "You have willingly left your people. I have not. If I ignore the beliefs of my people, nobody will be left to honor them, and they will die. It is my job as shaman to not allow this."
475223:32:25: <viejo> "I did not willingly leave my people."
475323:32:51: <NachtRuine> And the spell is gone. Waakanti and Saav no longer feel compelled not to lie.
475423:33:01: <viejo> Qojo shrugs. "Fair enough, it's just pretty alien to me and it'll be hard for you in this outside world as well. But if that's how you feel then whatever man."
475523:33:19: <Benedict> Nurel is safe for another day.
475623:33:31: <NachtRuine> "The spell fades."
475723:33:40: <Goatwright> Waakanti nods.
475823:33:54: <viejo> Who?
475923:34:29: <NachtRuine> "I apologize if you felt uncomfortable as a result of the spell."
476023:34:30: <Goatwright> No-Name Freddy
476123:36:37: <NachtRuine> "Similarly, I apologize if the mask gives you discomfort as well. I will attempt to wear it less when among you."
476223:36:49: <viejo> "Hey! I have an idea that might work. Ish. What if you use another name, one of your choosing, that you use that isn't your true name?"
476323:37:23: <Goatwright> "I would not know what to choose."
476423:37:25: <viejo> "Your pseudo-name, so to speak. Is that a thing? I think it should be a thing."
476523:37:32: <Goatwright> "But I am not against this."
476623:37:35: <viejo> "No-Name Fre- No okay that's really dumb."
476723:37:38: <NachtRuine> "I believe the term is nickname."
476823:38:26: <viejo> "I'm not sure what names are like from where you're from but Freddy is not a suitable name for you. And nah, not even a nickname, just a lower form of a name so that we can actually address you as something."
476923:38:52: <Benedict> "Nikli."
477023:39:24: <Goatwright> "Does this have a meaning?"
477123:39:47: <Puffgoof> Viejo, batharl pls: 23 [1d20=16]
477223:39:47: <viejo> 1d20+7 batharl pls
477323:42:35: <Benedict> "The Tall One."
477423:43:19: <Goatwright> "I suppose this could work."
477523:44:14: <Benedict> "Until he is comfortable with Nurel, Nurel shall call him Nikli, then."
477623:44:42: <Hippocratesi> Gwyn finally returns with like a million other golden racists. They set up camp outside because fuck going in.
477723:45:36: <viejo> "Errrr, Nkosiyabo?" Qojo suggests after taking his nose out of one of his books. Yes he has books.
477823:45:47: <NachtRuine> Saav looks to the crowd of gold. "He returns."
477923:47:22: <Hippocratesi> Gwyn approaches the group, wondering why they're still dicking around. "They refuse to come in. I will not argue with them."
478023:48:47: <NachtRuine> "How do you suggest we house and feed them? They cannot hunt in the woods forever."
478123:49:23: <Hippocratesi> "They will for now."
478223:49:49: <viejo> "I think that's an appropriate name for someone of your culture but, hey, just gettin' this knowledge from a book so correct me if I'm wrong."
478323:50:30: <viejo> "Do they have any cattle or livestock with them Gwyn? I hope they didn't all come here empty-handed."
478423:51:33: <Hippocratesi> "Well yes, we brought all we could. Cattle and such things."
478523:52:31: <viejo> "That's good at least. Are they stayin' here then? If yes you er, might want to think about arrangin' accomodation, arrangin' or buildin' that is."
478623:56:09: <Benedict> "Nurel will need to find a spot for his kind to camp. Not sure what Elf's people would do to Nurel's."
478723:58:36: <viejo> "I wonder if my people are still knockin' about."
478823:59:13: <Benedict> "Can check. If wish, Nurel will go with if you fear attacks on road."

4793
479400:00:47: <viejo> "This is ridiculous. Can we just get it damn straight that there's to be no race-based fightin'? I mean, seriously."
479500:01:23: <viejo> "If we're helpin' to sculpt this new world then we should damn well wipe all these petty attitudes and feuds."
479600:01:56: <NachtRuine> "The most difficult thing to destroy is the idea."
479700:02:25: <Goatwright> HRK DELAYED RESPONSE Waakanti is surprised by Qojo's suggestion. "I am flattered."
479800:02:28: <Hippocratesi> "I will make sure conflicts do not occur. They must soon realize that we cannot afford to be isolationists any longer."
479900:03:22: <viejo> Qojo smiles warmly at Gwyn and nods. "That's a great attitude to have. I'm serious."
480000:04:07: <viejo> "Think nothin' of it, is it appropriate? I mean, you read books for so long you start to think you know the world, then you get out here and it's just not like that."
480100:06:02: <Benedict> Nurel wonders how much of Gwyn's attitude comes from the fact that Gwyn is fucking a half-elf.
480200:06:41: <Hippocratesi> Nurel is
480300:06:45: <Hippocratesi> possibly correct
480400:06:49: <NachtRuine> Saav looks to Gwyn, a slight smile forming. "Your efforts are noble. Just know there will be dissent."
480500:07:59: <Hippocratesi> "I foresee issues, I know my clan well. They will be dealt with." Gwyn gives an assuring nod.
480600:08:16: <Goatwright> "It is appropriate enough."
480700:09:44: <NachtRuine> He returns the nod. "Then I am sure there will be no issues."
480800:11:38: <viejo> "It'd be great if your people started thinkin' like that 'cause I'm sure goblins are used to prejudice and shit, so, an effort from them would be swell."
480900:13:03: <Benedict> "Do not talk as if goblins do not cause problems. Nurel will have to control his people as well."
481000:13:42: <viejo> "People in general cause problems, regardless of what race they are."
481100:15:15: <NachtRuine> All of this talk of people's people reminds Saav of his homeland. He becomes lost in forlorn and nostalgic thought.
481200:18:07: <Hippocratesi> "They'll listen to me," Gwyn taps himself on the chest. "I assure you."
481300:20:27: <viejo> "We might just have a shot at this yet."
481400:21:34: <viejo> "I do wonder if there are any other Vanara about. Just for curiousity's sake. Maybe they're a made-up race and I'm actually a mutated monkey from the magical apocalypse? Ooo how mysteeeeeerious! Ya shoulda asked me when you had the chance!"
481500:25:45: <Benedict> "Maybe there are. Maybe we find them. Maybe Qojo can be their king."
481600:26:33: <viejo> >qfw
481700:29:00: <viejo> Qojo raises his eyebrows at Nurel. "Really. Me. King. Great idea."
481800:29:27: <Benedict> "Qojo has intelligence, even if he lacks the grace."
481900:30:27: <viejo> http://x4.fjcdn.com/comments/Oh+OP..+You+would+know+_80fced6b9dd0c0b77d9b526dea0696d1.jpg his expression is something like that
482000:30:48: <NachtRuine> Saav snaps out of thought. "Hrm? My apologies, I wasn't listening, did I miss something?"
482100:30:58: <viejo> "Intelligence doesn't make a man fit to be king. Necessary, but not the only requisite."
482200:32:47: <Benedict> "It helps."
482300:35:53: <viejo> "Besides, I find the thought of whole groups of people of a single race odd. Why don't people integrate more out here? Wasn't like this back in Oakbrook."
482400:36:23: <viejo> "I don't want a home for just Vanara, I want a home for all who are good of heart."
482500:38:03: <NachtRuine> "Where I come from, it was integrated. Else I would not be a half-orc. There were many different types of person in the city. Human, orc, dwarf, elf. Good. Bad. Neither."
482600:40:04: <viejo> "Not sure I could even say what was in my old place. It wasn't a 'thing' and there were so many. Tall, short, blue, red, it just... didn't really matter."
482700:41:40: <Goatwright> "There were no others among us who were nonhostile."
482800:41:58: <Goatwright> "We had humans, but they were servants," he puts it lightly.
482900:42:41: <viejo> "... Servants?"
483000:43:01: <Goatwright> "Servants."
483100:43:34: <Benedict> "All Nurel had were goblins. Tribe fought against dwarves frequently."
483200:45:31: <viejo> "Main Vanara in my life were my parents. My mother was a fighting instructor, my father a man of knowledge."
483300:48:05: <Benedict> "Sure there more."
483400:52:05: <viejo> Qojo shrugs. "It's not a big issue for me, honestly. My culture wasn't heavily influenced by Vanara ways."
483501:56:48: <Goatwright> Waakanti is doing Waakanti things.
483602:00:01: <Benedict> Nurel is going to talk with his goblin people. Don't need Rain for that.
483702:01:09: <NachtRuine> Saav combs through the law books still. You think he'd be done by now.

4841
484221:53:09: <Rainglove> WORLD APPEAR
484321:53:10: <Rainglove> WOW
484421:53:37: <Rainglove> Time to go looking for a druid/something I guess
484521:54:21: <NachtRuine> Saav is still reading those fucking law books.
484621:55:28: <viejo> Qojina Vagina is trying to see if she (yes I'm a grill don't hit on me silly guys) can improve anything structure-wise.
484721:55:30: <viejo> 1d20+6
484821:55:30: <Puffgoof> Viejo, 1d20+6: 17 [1d20=11]
484921:55:39: <Hippocratesi> Gwyn just finished conversing with Sira about the thrills of cutting an enemy in half. Huron grew more of a mane. I gotta say, today is a good day.
485021:55:56: <Benedict> How long has it been since our last adventure?
485121:56:01: <Rainglove> a week
485221:56:06: <viejo> Long enough for Qojo to have his sex op.
485321:56:08: <Rainglove> qojina the FUCK are you trying to build
485421:56:29: <viejo> A hen-house for chickens.
485521:56:47: <Goatwright> WAAKANTI HEADS FOR THE WIZARDS.
485621:56:50: <Goatwright> I MUST TALK TO THE WIZARDS.
485721:57:03: <viejo> I want this hen-house added to the map for town consistency. :^)
485821:57:25: <Rainglove> THE WIZARDS ARE THERE
485921:58:07: <Goatwright> "WIZARDS", Waakanti shouts as he starts devouring the wizards in his excitement.
486021:58:12: <Goatwright> No but really
486121:58:21: <Goatwright> He knocks on the door, all polite-like.
486221:58:46: <Rainglove> The wizard, go figure, answers the door. Did he get a new coat? It seems like he got a new coat.
486321:59:10: <Goatwright> "You have a new coat." He has a new coat!
486422:00:03: <Benedict> Nurel stays in what he claimed as "his room" in the town hall, soaking in all the tribal essence of the past with those banners and wall painting. And then he does some engineering study.
486522:00:12: <Benedict> 1d20+5 Let's work on that gun design!
486622:00:12: <Puffgoof> Benedict, Let's work on that gun design!: 20 [1d20=15]
486722:00:16: <Rainglove> "I have a new coat." He has a new coat. "Come inside. What do you need me for?"
486822:01:54: <Goatwright> He steps into the building, looking it over. "This is much more fitting for inhabiting. I hope you are comfortable." Due to his lack of Bluffing, it is fairly obvious he's skirting the question a bit.
486922:02:16: <viejo> Qojo slides on up to the door of Nurel's room. "Hey buuuuuuuuuuuuddy, whatcha workin' on?"
487022:03:22: <Benedict> Nurel always gotta deal with the autist. "Design." Nurel wishes he didn't leave the door open.
487122:03:31: <NachtRuine> Saav decides that several hours (several meaning double digits) of scanning the law books has taken a toll on his mind. He goes for a walk around the place, figuring that might unrattle his head.
487222:03:56: <Rainglove> "Yes, it's very nice not to have to cram four people into a room." The mage, due to his lack of social skills, looks around appreciatively at the architecture.
487322:04:00: <viejo> Qojo wanders on over and peers over his shoulder. "Oooo, that a new model you're workin' on? Looks real fancy."
487422:04:19: <Rainglove> Nurel that is a good roll. An unspecified but high amount of progress is made.
487522:04:39: <Goatwright> They are both awkward. It is nice.
487622:05:19: <Benedict> Nurel assumes that his roll was a good one, thank you Blarkentuf. It appears that Nurel is designing something along the lines of a pepperbox rifle. "Suppose."
487722:05:23: <Goatwright> "Have any of the new citizens introduced themselves to you?"
487822:06:06: <viejo> "Aw, am I botherin' ya? Just say and I'll go find someone else to, er, talk to."
487922:06:32: <Goatwright> 1d20 Qojo's cleavage hangs down in Nurel's face
488022:06:32: <Puffgoof> Goatwright, Qojo's cleavage hangs down in Nurel's face: 18 [1d20=18]
488122:07:01: <Rainglove> "A few. We have yet more sorcerers, and instructing them continues to be a struggle. Your uh... ancestor is helpful, though he isn't terribly adept at instructing them either, he seems to have had some experience."
488222:07:08: <Benedict> "It fine." Nurel doesn't care for monkey tits. Only goblin ones. "Thought Qojo would try flip 'round room."
488322:08:03: <viejo> "Oh nonono not when a master craftsman is at work!" Qojo pulls up a seat and watches Nurel work.
488422:08:31: <NachtRuine> He sees the open door to Nurel's room. He doesn't enter, but addresses the people within it anyways, pulling down his mask. "Hello, Nurel. Qojo."
488522:09:54: <viejo> "Hey, Nurel's workin' on a new design for a gun! Ain't that swell?"
488622:10:05: <Goatwright> "Arcane magic is different, and with a lack of a material form, it is understandable." He lowers his breath. "And so long as he is not distracting me during combat, I am pleased."
488722:10:41: <Hippocratesi> With nobody else seemingly around, Gwyn decides to train young Huron.
488822:11:01: <Rainglove> rrrrrroll handle animal buddeh
488922:11:04: <Goatwright> "But this is not why I have come to visit. I have a request. An.. affliction I need consultation on."
489022:11:12: <NachtRuine> "It seems like a good use of his abilities. Coincides with his combat capabilities."
489122:11:24: <Puffgoof> Hippocratesi, OH GOD PLEASE: 23 [1d20=16]
489222:11:24: <Hippocratesi> 1d20+7 OH GOD PLEASE
489322:11:32: <Hippocratesi> such training
489422:11:39: <Goatwright> much learning
489522:12:03: <viejo> "Yeah too true. If we ever get in a sticky spot maybe ya could train the guards in the use of guns?"
489622:12:26: <Rainglove> The mage blinks. "Perhaps you should seek out an alchemist? I understand that when people are less than careful with their choices in... partnership... certain afflictions may come over you, but generally that is not something I can treat."
489722:12:44: <Hippocratesi> oh right i train him to
489822:12:51: <Benedict> At least no one is asking about the banners and warpaint on the walls yet. "Just design for now. Admire when Nurel actually makes it." Nurel stands up and puts the design away, moving to his alchemy lab and cauldron to... make... something. Once he gets an idea.
489922:12:57: <Hippocratesi> fight
490022:13:15: <Goatwright> Hippo you might wanna go look at Handle Animal
490122:13:19: <Goatwright> to learn about the tricks
490222:13:26: <Hippocratesi> i'm literally looking at it
490322:13:32: <Hippocratesi> fight is
490422:13:33: <Hippocratesi> a choice
490522:13:36: <Goatwright> Just making sure guy
490622:13:41: <Goatwright> trying to HELP OUT
490722:13:49: <Hippocratesi> I DON'T NEED YOUR HELP MOM
490822:14:00: <Goatwright> CALM DOWN JEFFREY
490922:14:32: <Hippocratesi> also that roll would be a 27 my bad
491022:14:47: <Goatwright> "Ah, no. I have not lain with woman yet, but I appreciate your concern. What I need help for is like a curse, but not, as I have been told. It is beyond my understanding."
491122:15:06: <NachtRuine> Saav has seen all of this before, so he is not new to it. "I await your prototype." Sensing that Nurel is busy, he takes his leave.
491222:16:48: <Rainglove> The mage seems concerned. "A curse is a serious matter. I may not be the best one to handle this though, unless it is specifically an arcane curse. You may want to seek out some sort of priest, or divine authority."
491322:17:36: <Benedict> Taking some dirt from outside, Nurel does some ALCHEMY shit to learn what kind of effect the magic apocalypse might have on the town's crops.
491422:17:39: <Benedict> 1d20+11
491522:17:39: <Puffgoof> Benedict, 1d20+11: 21 [1d20=10]
491622:18:22: <Hippocratesi> well, i train him in heavy labor
491722:18:25: <Hippocratesi> which takes two weeks
491822:18:50: <NachtRuine> Saav comes across Gwyn training his animal. He watches.
491922:19:48: <Goatwright> "It is a result of the same affliction that has destroyed your land, I believe." Waakanti begins to pull off his loose robes, and then his chestplate and padding, revealing a series of long, forking scars, resembling burns with a faint shimmer.
492022:20:16: <viejo> is there anything I can roll that would provide anything useful?
492122:21:12: <Goatwright> "A large object fell from your land into mine, killing my tribe and afflicting those who survived with various ailments. I was shrank in size. I was once twice this size." He frowns, looking down at his own scars. "Normally I try to hide their magic, to not raise too much suspicion."
492222:22:26: <Hippocratesi> Gwyn finds some heavy things and has Huron push and pull them. I don't fucking know how to train lions.
492322:22:52: <viejo> Huron can help pull things about for the elves to set up. Useful Huron.
492422:23:30: <Benedict> Huron is a BITCH
492522:23:52: <Rainglove> The mage frowns. "That is a problem. I am... unsure of how to help you. Magic from the apocalypse is very difficult to control. Perhaps one of the sorcerers could help you, since their magic stems from it, but as untrained as they are that would be unwise."
492622:24:07: <NachtRuine> "You are training your animal to bear heavy weights?"
492722:25:07: <Benedict> Nurel probably ain't learning shit, so he just makes the old tribal drink that would strain his teeth black. Yeeeeeeeah.
492822:26:34: <Goatwright> "Do you know of any I might contact for aide? It is one of the only reasons I am in your land, and I would like to continue my journey as soon as I am able."
492922:26:35: <Hippocratesi> Gwyn hadn't noticed the half-orc standing there. "I am. It will take some time, but he'll soon be able to help in building structures and other such work. Hopefully."
493022:28:55: <NachtRuine> "Good. The town can use as much help as we can get."
493122:28:57: <Rainglove> The wizard shakes his head. "I don't know anybody I would trust with something that delicate. Mostly because I think they're either incapable of doing anything or will probably kill you. I will ask around, though."
493222:29:24: <Hippocratesi> "Have you seen the others at all?"
493322:30:07: <NachtRuine> "Nurel and Qojo are in the former's room. I have not seen the giant anywhere. He is likely out."
493422:31:11: <Goatwright> Waakanti sighs. Guess he's staying around for a bit longer. "If you hear of anybody in another town, please do let me know." He gives the wizard a short bow, then puts his shit back on. "And please do try to be secretive about this. I worry what more this could do with its mysterious magic."
493522:31:14: <Benedict> Making it sound so gay, Saav.
493622:31:28: <NachtRuine> Not gay. Qojo's a lady.
493722:31:34: <NachtRuine> apparnetly
493822:31:35: <Benedict> As if Nurel knows!
493922:32:15: <Rainglove> "I am well aware of the dangers of magic." The mage nods to waakanti, then heads back into the new and improved magehouse 2.0.
494022:33:27: <Goatwright> And Waakanti takes his leave. Does he see any of those FAGGOTS?
494122:33:33: <Hippocratesi> "Hm." Gwyn gives a nod and goes back to training. "Perhaps they will show soon enough."
494222:35:25: <NachtRuine> He probly sees Saav and Gwyn. Saav nods. "Yes, I think we should address the agenda. Once the giant makes himself known, we can gather to see what needs doing."
494322:35:45: <Goatwright> HE'S OTUSIDE
494422:35:46: <Goatwright> GODDAMN
494522:35:51: <Goatwright> outside*
494622:36:40: <NachtRuine> I'd presumed Gwyn and Saav were outside as well, seeing that Gwyn's training his animal.
494722:36:54: <Benedict> Nurel has his drink and stains his teeth black with it. And then heads out to wherever Gwyn and Saav are. Get out of Nurel's room, Qojo.
494822:39:02: <NachtRuine> Saav sees Nurel approach. "Nurel. Do you know where the giant is?"
494922:39:46: <Benedict> "Nurel was in room all day."
495022:41:21: <Benedict> GET YOUR CHARACTER'S TO THE MAIN ROOM IN THE TOWN HALL, VIEJO AND GOATWRIGHT
495122:41:35: <Hippocratesi> BUT EVERYONE IS OUTSIDE
495222:41:56: <NachtRuine> SUDDENLY EVERYONE IS IN THE MAIN ROOM
495322:41:58: <NachtRuine> MAGIC
495422:42:12: <Goatwright> FUCK OKAY
495522:42:16: <Goatwright> WHATEVER
495622:42:17: <Goatwright> THEY'RE THERE
495722:42:34: <Rainglove> BAM
495822:42:38: <Hippocratesi> WE ARE ALL SITTING AT A LONG TABLE
495922:42:40: <Rainglove> DISCUSS YOUR SHIT
496022:43:44: <NachtRuine> "Okay, so item one on the agenda is improving the arability of the land. How can we do this?"
496122:43:54: <Benedict> "Potion not helping?"
496222:45:14: <Goatwright> Waakanti raises his hand.
496322:45:24: <Hippocratesi> "We could ask the assistance of a druid."
496422:45:24: <Goatwright> He may be a savage, but at the table, he is a gentleman.
496522:45:26: <Goatwright> M'Qojo.
496622:45:45: <NachtRuine> "Last I checked, the potion was helping, but the land is still corrupted." Saav looks to Waakanti. "Speak as you like. No need for turn taking."
496722:46:00: <Goatwright> "It is rude to interrupt, I find."
496822:46:57: <Goatwright> He then points to Gwyn. "I agree with this. A druid would help greatly, but I do not think their magic will be as relevant in a land like yours. Everything is tainted."
496922:47:36: <Goatwright> "So if we are to find a druid, I believe we must look for one such as us. I spoke with the wizard recently, and he told me many sorcerers have come about because of this. Such a combination seems likely, if any."
497022:48:14: <NachtRuine> "So you suggest we find a gestalt druid with arcane abilities?"
497122:49:00: <Goatwright> "Yes."
497222:49:24: <Hippocratesi> "I doubt that they are so easy to find."
497322:50:16: <Goatwright> "This town found all of us."
497422:50:57: <NachtRuine> "Consider the effort the last leader took to find us, however. We would have to not only look for a gestalt, but one who is a druid."
497522:51:15: <Benedict> "And tribe find another gestalt quick with Rotter." Nurel drums his fingers on the long table. Maybe that other goblin tribe has an arcane druid gestalt.
497622:51:33: <Benedict> "Could try... goblin tribe... west? Of town. Maybe druid gestalt there."
497722:52:48: <NachtRuine> Saav writes down something on a piece of paper. "I'll put that on the list of potential places."
497822:52:50: <Goatwright> "Goblins are not always the most welcoming, especially in these trying times."
497922:53:00: <Goatwright> "No offense meant, you being an exception."
498022:53:31: <Benedict> "None taken. Nurel knows how his people can be. Nurel is, so far, thankful that goblins that have joined town are being peaceful."
498122:54:11: <NachtRuine> "I think the fact that we have Nurel should help with that issue."
498222:54:52: <Goatwright> "A giant and a half-orc may overtake this."
498322:55:07: <Goatwright> "As far as I am aware, the town through the pass is connected by roads, meaning they likely lead to others. We can continue to travel until we've heard word of such a druid."
498422:55:50: <Hippocratesi> "We should consider how long that could potentially take."
498522:56:31: <NachtRuine> "If I recall, there is indeed another town by the road. That is another place to possibly check." He scribbles something down.
498622:57:30: <Benedict> "Talking of town Tolay wanted to trade with?"
498722:57:46: <Goatwright> Waakanti nods.
498822:58:03: <NachtRuine> Saav thinks a little. "Yes, that one. We're due a visit there anyway."
498922:58:33: <Benedict> "Hmm. Might be town founded by same tribe as Tolay. Might not like our... removal of Tolay."
499022:58:51: <Hippocratesi> "We will deal with that as it comes."
499122:58:58: <Goatwright> "Although, do druids not prefer nature? Perhaps a forest is a likely location."
499222:59:09: <Goatwright> "As they are rare, it seems more likely as well."
499322:59:41: <NachtRuine> "In fact, the rarity of said forests help to pinpoint other potential places."
499423:00:16: <Goatwright> He nods.
499523:01:04: <NachtRuine> He, once again, scribbles something down. "Any other ideas?"
499623:02:47: <NachtRuine> "I personally cannot come up with anything other than what has already been stated."
499723:03:05: <Benedict> Nurel shrugs.
499823:04:40: <Goatwright> "I believe the forest idea is the best."
499923:05:00: <Hippocratesi> "Are any of us even aware of any forests still standing?"
500023:05:41: <Goatwright> "Someone in town must be."
500123:05:41: <Benedict> "Was some still standing around a dwarf city Nurel's tribe had problems with."
500223:05:59: <NachtRuine> "I think the town is our best shot. Highest concentration of people. Should we find a forest on the way, we can search it on the way back, should we not find our druid."
500323:06:48: <Hippocratesi> "Very well."
500423:07:28: <Goatwright> "Would a druid not reasonably want to avoid an urban setting surrounded by dead nature?"
500523:08:05: <NachtRuine> Saav stops to consider this. "You raise a valid point." He ponders.
500623:08:36: <Goatwright> "Perhaps we should vote, if we have objecting thoughts."
500723:10:10: <NachtRuine> "Yes. I am still of the opinion that we should go to the town first, since as I said, we're due a visit anyways. Nurel, Qojo, Gwyn, what say you?"
500823:10:44: <Benedict> "Nurel is... biased? Biased. He would vote for tribe."
500923:11:34: <NachtRuine> Saav nods. "That is fine. It is your vote. One town, one forest, one tribe."
501023:12:46: <Hippocratesi> "...I do feel that it is likely for there to be a druid amongst the goblin tribe."
501123:13:16: <Goatwright> "And the small ape's thoughts?"
501223:13:28: <NachtRuine> "One town, one forest, two tribe. One vote remains." He looks to Qojo.
501323:21:06: <Benedict> The room is silent as they wait for Qojo.
501423:22:09: <Hippocratesi> can we please just go to the tribe
501523:22:47: <viejo> "I'm easy goin'. Seriously. We can rock paper scissors over it?" She smiles.
501623:23:55: <viejo> "Although, I mean, seriously, if I say anythin' other than tribe we'll be here 'til the sun's set. So I'm tribe."
501723:24:42: <NachtRuine> "Tribe it is. Let us prepare then." Saav folds up the paper and puts it in one of his pockets.
501823:25:39: <Benedict> ZIP ZAM, PREPARING SO FAST, LOOK AT NUREL PREPARE. And now he has his mule and gun ready to head to the OTHER goblin tribe the previously-lone-goblin mentioned weeks ago.
501923:26:31: <NachtRuine> Saav totally gets his shit prepared. Combat spells, just in case, and enough rations to last. He is ready
502023:27:30: <viejo> Qojina Vagina puts on her eyeliner then heads to the diner for a date with a burly miner
502123:28:12: <Hippocratesi> Gwyn washes and dresses up his axe in a cute dress for the road.
502223:28:24: <NachtRuine> OKAY WE'RE ALL READY AND WE GO
502323:28:37: <Rainglove> WALKING
502423:28:39: <Rainglove> BANJO MUSIC
502523:28:44: <Hippocratesi> STANDING
502623:28:48: <Rainglove> QOJO MAGICALLY LEARNS TO PLAY THE HARMONICA
502723:28:52: <Benedict> GOBLIN MUSIC
502823:28:53: <Goatwright> Waakanti uses his TRUSTY CAMEL-DRAWN CARAVAN OF THE DESERT.
502923:29:36: <NachtRuine> SAAV SILENCE
503023:30:00: <Hippocratesi> DROPPIN' OUT THE WINDOW
503123:30:03: <Hippocratesi> LETTIN' EVERYTHING GO
503223:31:04: <Rainglove> and zim zam zoom the town comes out of the distance. Wooden walls, stakes, the works. A goblin yells at you in goblin as you approach. "<OY, WHO'S WALKIN' THERE?>"
503323:31:55: <viejo> "Hi!" Qojo waves.
503423:32:07: <Benedict> A town? These goblins are a bit more advanced than the others. "<Nurel of the Blackened Tooth Tribe. With me are some companions. We wish for entry to your town.>"
503523:32:13: <Hippocratesi> Gwyn regrets his vote.
503623:32:37: <NachtRuine> Saav stands ready. He also stands by his own vote.
503723:32:51: <Rainglove> you could just moonwalk away gwyn
503823:33:29: <Puffgoof> Viejo, perception. What colour is that goblin's underwear?: 31 [1d20=19]
503923:33:29: <Rainglove> The goblin disappears for a moment, then returns and yells back. "<Ain't you lot dead?>"
504023:33:29: <viejo> 1d20+12 perception. What colour is that goblin's underwear?
504123:33:49: <Goatwright> Waakanti stares daggers into the back of Gwyn's head for his TERRIBLE VOTE.
504223:33:54: <Goatwright> As covertly as possible.
504323:34:22: <Rainglove> qojo it's like he's wearing NOTHING AT ALL
504423:34:25: <Benedict> "<The fact that I'm standing here proves otherwise. Only 99.99% of the Blackened Tooth are dead. I'm the last one.>"
504523:34:57: <viejo> Gross. Qojo sneers briefly at wrinkled goblin cock before snapping back to attention.
504623:35:21: <Hippocratesi> Gwyn frowns as he feels the daggers being stared.
504723:35:38: <viejo> "Man, that guy should really wear undies..." Qojo whispers to the group.
504823:36:30: <Rainglove> "<Well that's a uh... shame. What're you here for, then?>"
504923:36:43: <NachtRuine> Saav considers saying something to Qojo, but stifles himself.
505023:37:29: <Benedict> "<My group wishes entry to search for a druid. Specifically a druid that can be classified as a "gestalt". I wish to enter to just... see how this tribe is doing. Help how I can. Perhaps convince you to come live at Novit.>"
505123:39:35: <Rainglove> The goblin makes another exit and entrance. "<Well, I dunno if we've got what you're lookin' for, but you can come on in. Just don't blow anythin' up.>"
505223:40:26: <NachtRuine> Saav does not know if we are having success, nor whether or not he should be getting ready for something bad to happen.
505323:40:45: <Benedict> "<I carry no explosives, don't worry. Just alchemical cartridges.>" Nurel looks back to the group. "He will let us in."
505423:41:25: <NachtRuine> "Good. Do they hold a druid gestalt."
505523:42:37: <Rainglove> The gate OPEEEEEENS
505623:43:03: <Benedict> "Tribe will need to search." Nurel leads the way into this goblin town.
505723:43:20: <NachtRuine> He nods, walking in with Nurel.
505823:43:30: <Goatwright> Waakanti rides his caravan in.
505923:43:34: <Hippocratesi> Gwyn steps in.
506023:43:41: <Benedict> SO WHAT IS INSIDE THIS THING?
506123:43:47: <viejo> "Aw, more goblins! Are you happy Nurel?"
506223:43:50: <Rainglove> waakanti's massive faggot ass
506323:45:01: <Benedict> "Yes." No. This isn't Nurel's tribe, just some other goblin tribe :(.
506423:45:20: <Rainglove> other than that, a bunch of goblins and some wooden houses. Most things are built out of wood, in contrast to novit, which is mostly stone. Wonder where the wood came from? They do seem surprisingly built up for a village of goblins, but maybe they were here before the big boom.
506523:45:49: <Goatwright> "Do they speak something other than your tongue?"
506623:45:50: <NachtRuine> 1d20+12 lookan for anything obviously druidy
506723:45:51: <Puffgoof> NachtRuine, lookan for anything obviously druidy: 31 [1d20=19]
506823:45:53: <Goatwright> Waakanti grumbles.
506923:46:00: <Goatwright> 1d20+11 okay sure Perception
507023:46:00: <Puffgoof> Goatwright, okay sure Perception: 16 [1d20=5]
507123:46:02: <Goatwright> wow
507223:46:07: <Rainglove> you did it
507323:46:28: <NachtRuine> you did the thing
507423:47:26: <Goatwright> I am the guy
507523:47:32: <Hippocratesi> 1d20+8 hey
507623:47:32: <Puffgoof> Hippocratesi, hey: 9 [1d20=1]
507723:47:37: <Goatwright> even worse
507823:47:39: <Hippocratesi> absolutely retarded
507923:47:43: <Hippocratesi> i'm not rolling anything else
508023:47:46: <Benedict> 1d20+8 Where would the leader of this town be living?
508123:47:46: <Puffgoof> Benedict, Where would the leader of this town be living?: 17 [1d20=9]
508223:51:37: <Rainglove> Saav, you identify some charms over some doorways that are most likely magical. The exact nature of them is a K arcana roll
508323:52:17: <Rainglove> Nurel, the biggest house is right the fuck there, with a couple goblins outside.
508423:52:22: <Rainglove> Another charm over that door.
508523:52:25: <viejo> 1d20+7 pls
508623:52:25: <Puffgoof> Viejo, pls: 26 [1d20=19]
508723:52:31: <NachtRuine> 1d20+7 kcana
508823:52:32: <Puffgoof> NachtRuine, kcana: 22 [1d20=15]
508923:52:55: <Rainglove> viejo what are you uh
509023:52:56: <Rainglove> rolling
509123:52:59: <viejo> k arcana
509223:53:02: <Rainglove> oh
509323:53:08: <Goatwright> Waakanti is too unobservant to notice charms. :[
509423:53:11: <Goatwright> He is having an off-day.
509523:53:19: <viejo> seeing as we got exactly the same perception score I figured Qojo would be able to see it as well
509623:53:28: <viejo> unless you actually want me to reroll perception
509723:54:15: <Rainglove> Saav, those are definitely magical charms, probably from some local shaman. Qojo, with your magical knowledge of the distinction between casting classes, you'd guess it's a witch.
509823:55:24: <NachtRuine> "There are magical charms thataway. Perhaps a druid." He points.
509923:56:01: <Goatwright> "Do druids possess such magic?"
510023:56:15: <viejo> "Looks like witch charms to me."
510123:57:01: <Goatwright> "Ah. That is magic I am very familiar with."
510223:57:20: <Benedict> Nurel points out the obvious Leader Home. "Leader of town there. Could ask about druids."
510323:57:26: <Goatwright> This does not make him any less annoyed by this town, though. H-honest.
510423:58:00: <NachtRuine> Saav looks to Qojo. "A witch's charms. Hrm." He looks to Nurel. "Yes, I suppose we should ask the leader before bursting into people's homes."
510523:59:17: <Benedict> Nurel makes the approach to the leader's home, stopping before the guards there have to stop them. "<My group would like to speak to your leader about something.>"
510623:59:58: <Goatwright> Waakanti does not cast Detect Magic at the door in front of these guards, considering it's obvious and all.
5107
5108 2014-09-20
5109
5110
511100:00:05: <Goatwright> The casting, that is.
511200:00:50: <Rainglove> The enter-exit shuffle occurs once more, and a goblin with some very nice headgear appears. "<I'd heard we had visitors. How can I help you?>"
511300:02:07: <Benedict> "<First, do you speak Common? It would be easier for my group to understand us, if you can. If not, I'll just translate.>" Nurel shrugs, and starts asking. "<My group is searching for a druid "gestalt", and we were curious if your... town had any. How long has this town been here? I always heard goblins were in caves and tents.>"
511400:06:41: <Rainglove> The goblin shuffles around in his belt, pulls out a vial, and downs the contents, smacking his lips. "I do now. We have one who weaves magic, she may be the one you seek. Our town has been here since the world ended. We build well, and quickly." He smiles.
511500:08:02: <Benedict> "Nurel sees that. Wish his own were... around to do thing like this. Where is, Nurel guesses, the Wise Woman we are seeking? And what tribe does this town belong to?"
511600:09:06: <viejo> "Where'd you get all the wood from to make this place? It's real nice lookin' by the way."
511700:10:33: <Goatwright> Waakanti does his best to not be a dick.
511800:10:39: <Goatwright> And look less threatening.
511900:12:40: <Rainglove> The goblin points. "You'll find her that way. She is difficult to miss. And we are known as the scorched nail." He swaps over to qojo in the barrage of questions. "Our weaver has a way with these things. She works slowly, but effectively. We took wood from fallen forests, after the explosion, and since then she has grown them."
512000:13:06: <Benedict> "...Grown them how?"
512100:13:28: <viejo> "Sounds like this lady who weaves magic has been pretty helpful to you guys gettin' back on your feet."
512200:13:59: <Goatwright> "This does sound like a wizard."
512300:14:06: <Goatwright> "I am guessing she is both witch and druid."
512400:14:17: <Goatwright> -wizard +druid
512500:14:52: <Rainglove> The goblin shrugs. "She weaves. And yes, she has been a great blessing to us."
512600:15:41: <Goatwright> Fucking dumb goblins goddamn everyone knows druids
512700:16:11: <Goatwright> "Might we go see her?"
512800:16:48: <Rainglove> "Of course."
512900:17:18: <Goatwright> Waakanti leaves Nurel to fap about to his brethren and goes off in the witch's direction.
513000:18:58: <viejo> Qojo goes off to see the wicked witch.
513100:19:35: <Rainglove> You're soon confronted with a wooden hut that feels surprisingly strongly magical. Torches burn incense on either side of the door, and the ubiquitous charm is seated firmly over this door as well.
513200:19:57: <Benedict> Nurel does the typical goblin bow to thank this great leader and goes to see the wonderful Wizard of Scorched Nail.
513300:20:13: <Goatwright> Waakanti feels less bad about casting Detect Magic on this door.
513400:20:52: <Rainglove> That's a magic door.
513500:20:58: <Rainglove> Well, it's just a door
513600:21:02: <Rainglove> but there's magic around it
513700:21:08: <viejo> Qojo calls out. "Helloooooo, anyone hooooome?"
513800:21:10: <Goatwright> Can I roll spellcraft to determine said magic?
513900:21:12: <Rainglove> Nurel arrives
514000:22:20: <Benedict> "<I doubt she speaks Common.>" Nurel says in Goblin, and then calls out for the witch-druid. "<Excuse us. Are you busy?>"
514100:23:34: <Rainglove> It's just a general fog of witch magic, waakanti. The door pops open at Qojo's screeching, and a goblin opens the door. She's much more plainly dressed than the whoever you talked to just now was. "I speak your language just fine. Why are you here for me?"
514200:25:07: <NachtRuine> "We would like to ask of your assistance."
514300:25:22: <viejo> "We're lookin' for a druid. Y'know one of those shape-shifter people-of-nature types."
514400:25:28: <Benedict> Nurel asks the important question in his head. Is she a qt? "Ah. Nurel rarely find goblin that speak Common." Nurel opens his mouth, but Saav takes the question.
514500:25:51: <Goatwright> Waakanti does his best to...
514600:25:57: <Goatwright> ...ooze hexy magic?
514700:26:11: <Goatwright> Maybe that shaman/witch hex bond will make them seem less threatening.
514800:27:01: <Rainglove> She gives waakanti a 'you alright dude?' look. "You're disturbing the air. What assistance are you looking for?"
514900:27:13: <Rainglove> nurel she ain't too bad lookin'
515000:27:36: <Goatwright> "Oh. I was attempting to make it clear my understanding of your magic. I apologize."
515100:28:23: <NachtRuine> "The farmland near our town is corrupted. We would ask of you to cleanse it, or to tell us how to do so."
515200:29:46: <Rainglove> She looks somewhat confusedly at Waakanti, then turns to Saav. "Corruption from the blast?"
515300:30:20: <NachtRuine> "We believe so, yes."
515400:30:26: <Goatwright> Goddamn why are these goblins so retarded
515500:30:44: <Benedict> Fuck you, Waak.
515600:31:13: <Goatwright> "I am a shaman. We possess magic similar to witches."
515700:31:17: <Benedict> Nurel rubs his hands. Too qt.
515800:31:25: <Goatwright> Does he shuffle his feet?
515900:33:11: <Rainglove> "Removing the magic from the soil is... very difficult. I am not sure if I could help you in addition to my work here."
516000:33:29: <viejo> 1d20+11 sense motive on this slut
516100:33:30: <Puffgoof> Viejo, sense motive on this slut: 28 [1d20=17]
516200:33:37: <Goatwright> "We can perhaps provide payment."
516300:34:13: <Rainglove> She shakes her head. "Payment is not the issue. I would gladly help, but I cannot be in two places at once."
516400:34:43: <Rainglove> There's not a whole lot to sense, qojo. She's being honest, and aside from being weirded out by waakanti's attempt at spiritual bonding she doesn't seem to feel particularly strongly about any of you
516500:35:27: <Goatwright> "Payment in exchange for your prolonged services." Waakanti holds in a begrudging sigh. "There are... other goblins among our town, who would benefit from your efforts, if any."
516600:36:09: <NachtRuine> "If you cannot leave, is it possible to instruct one of our people on magic removal."
516700:36:39: <Benedict> "<Is there something we can to help this town, so that you could have some time to try and help the area around our town?>"
516800:37:24: <Rainglove> She taps her fingers against the door. "It is possible that I could teach you. As the tall one said, our magic is similar." She thinks for a moment, then opens her door. "Please, come inside. Speaking like this is uncomfortable."
516900:38:08: <Goatwright> Waakanti nods, then ducks far down and squeezes through the doorway. Goddammit.
517000:38:31: <NachtRuine> Once Waakanti gets his giant ass in, Saav follows.
517100:38:32: <Benedict> Nurel has no trouble entering a home made for GOBLINS.
517200:39:04: <NachtRuine> He has to bend a little to get in, but no real issues otherwise.
517300:40:49: <Rainglove> It's less like a witch's house than folklore would have led you to believe, though there are some holdovers. A pot of something magical bubbles happily away in one corner, and charms of various designs line one wall. Seating of only one size is available, unfortunately.
517400:41:50: <viejo> Qojo follows.
517500:42:02: <NachtRuine> Saav chooses to stand, or at least, stand as much as he can.
517600:42:20: <viejo> Qojo seats her dainty little bottom into a chair.
517700:42:41: <viejo> "This isn't how my books described a witch's den! I mean, er, house? Sorry."
517800:43:12: <Rainglove> She magically floats a few charms off the wall, eyeing them and returning them, looking for something. "As I said, actually dispersing the taint is difficult. It is far easier to take it from the ground and put it into something else, but this has... interesting consequences. I-" she shoots a less than delighted look at Qojo.
517900:43:25: <Goatwright> Waakanti finds a rug or something to sit cross-legged on.
518000:43:33: <Goatwright> He similarly glares at Qojo.
518100:43:41: <Goatwright> GODDAMN BTCH
518200:44:03: <Rainglove> "I am concerned about what may be done, in short. The process pulls at things from other worlds, and if you are less than careful bad things happen."
518300:44:30: <Goatwright> "What other worlds?"
518400:44:43: <Benedict> "<Forgive Qojo. His mouth talks so much that his tongue gets sunburn.>" With that said, Nurel takes a seat in an available chair. "Does Wise Woman know how magic boom occurred?"
518500:45:49: <viejo> Qojo looks down and fiddles with her hands.
518600:47:06: <Rainglove> She shakes her head at Nurel. "<No idea.>" back to everyone else: "The other planes. I am hesitant to explain further unless I know you are capable of handling it." She turns away from the wall of charms and begins rummaging through vials.
518700:47:27: <Goatwright> Waakanti KNEW he should have paid attention to those lessons.
518800:47:43: <NachtRuine> "We have fought beings of other planes before."
518900:47:58: <Goatwright> "I... was supposed to have training in such matters."
519000:48:03: <Benedict> "Wise Woman make it sound like knowledge would kill us."
519100:48:04: <Goatwright> He looks mighty embarrassed.
519200:49:58: <Rainglove> "It wouldn't kill you unless you're incompetent, as with all magic. It's just more dangerous to other people. At least if you blow yourself up only you blow up. And... I believe I felt that, your encounter. Something very large moved across this world, it is somewhere I would rather it not be. That was your doing?"
519300:51:12: <Goatwright> "It was the masked one's doing."
519400:51:21: <Goatwright> Waakanti the snitch.
519500:52:10: <NachtRuine> "We came across a devil in a keep that we desired to use, and I pointed it towards the source of the boom." Saav ain't no bitch, he own up to his actions.
519600:52:17: <Hippocratesi> don't worry, we'll steal his lunch money later
519700:54:57: <Rainglove> She nods to herself. "I suppose you didn't intend harm." She finally finds the vial she was looking for and returns to you, rolling it between her fingers. "What do you plan to do with the land you cleanse? And how much do you intend to change?"
519800:55:42: <Benedict> "Farming. Change as much as we need to as population grow."
519900:56:54: <NachtRuine> "Yes, it is intended to help feed a growing population. We've recently gotten a large influx of people, so more supplies will be needed."
520000:57:01: <Hippocratesi> "We hope to expand quite a bit."
520100:57:50: <Rainglove> She frowns. "What do you know of the planes?"
520200:57:59: <Goatwright> "They exist."
520300:58:24: <Goatwright> "The only plane I am truly familiar with is the ethereal plane."
520400:58:28: <NachtRuine> "I am quite familiar with the planes."
520500:58:32: <NachtRuine> 1d20+7 kplanes
520600:58:32: <Puffgoof> NachtRuine, kplanes: 22 [1d20=15]

521400:59:38: <Rainglove> you're uh
521500:59:44: <Rainglove> suddenly really familiar
521600:59:50: <Rainglove> good thing you slacked off in class
521701:00:14: <Goatwright> sides.exe has crashed
521801:00:25: <viejo> 1d20+6 pls
521901:00:26: <Puffgoof> Viejo, pls: 8 [1d20=2]
522001:00:27: <viejo> lel
522101:00:33: <Rainglove> what's a plane
522201:00:42: <Benedict> I think it's a breakfast dish.
522301:00:50: <Rainglove> a penguin
522401:00:56: <Benedict> A penguin wizard.
522501:04:21: <viejo> "Planes?... OH! Planes! Right."
522601:04:37: <viejo> For a minute there Qojo pictured grand flying constructions.
522701:04:38: <Rainglove> "... Right. Cleansing large swathes of land may prove to be more difficult than you expect." She returns to the cupboard, shuffles around, and returns with a few more vials. "It would be easier to show than to explain."
522801:04:59: <Goatwright> "Okay."
522901:05:02: <NachtRuine> "Show away."
523001:05:06: <Benedict> "Please do, Wise Woman."
523101:05:14: <Hippocratesi> "Mmhm."
523201:07:30: <Rainglove> She hands off the vials to the party. "This is not harmful. It simply makes certain things... easier to see." She uncorks her vial, tests the contents with a finger, then downs the whole thing.
523301:07:58: <Benedict> Nurel will trust the Wise Woman. He downs the drink.
523401:08:18: <Goatwright> Waakanti casts Detect Poison on it.
523501:08:24: <Hippocratesi> Gwyn glances at Waakanti. Are these savages serious?
523601:08:37: <Goatwright> You better believe he ain't that trusting yet.
523701:08:58: <Rainglove> Ain't no poison here nigga
523801:09:08: <viejo> Qojo guzzles the load.
523901:09:17: <viejo> "Blergh! Tastes like lime!"
524001:09:32: <NachtRuine> Saav will trust Nurel. He drinks it.
524101:09:59: <Goatwright> Detect Magic immediately after, followed by a S-s-s-spellcraft roll.
524201:10:08: <Goatwright> 1d20+5 WILL IT KILL?
524301:10:09: <Puffgoof> Goatwright, WILL IT KILL?: 21 [1d20=16]
524401:11:51: <Rainglove> Some kinda witch magic, and something you're really not at all familiar with. After a second or two, what seem to be faint threads shimmer into existence. Some slide from the floor and through the ceiling without contacting anything, a few connect from the floor to one of the charms on the walls, and some seem to be tied to the charms but continue onward
524501:13:23: <Goatwright> "It is at least not poisoned," he reassures Gwyn.
524601:13:26: <Goatwright> And then he drinks it.
524701:13:46: <Hippocratesi> Gwyn drinks it as well.
524801:14:33: <Rainglove> they're all varying colors and thicknesses. Saav and Nurel, a few stand out particularly vibrantly to you in comparison to others. The goblin taps one delicately. "These are anchors between this world and others, or anchors between other worlds that intersect with our own."
524901:15:38: <Benedict> Why are they so vibrant?
525001:15:45: <Rainglove> "Travel along them is impossible, unfortunately, but things can be sent or called. Some things go easier. Raw magic seems to travel the most easily. Physical objects are very difficult to move from our world to others, but other worlds to ours do not seem to have such issues."
525101:15:52: <Goatwright> wow what about Waakanti
525201:15:58: <Rainglove> nope
525301:16:02: <Goatwright> b-but
525401:16:05: <Goatwright> his 24
525501:16:14: <NachtRuine> Saav examines the particularly vibrant ones with curiosity.
525601:16:24: <Rainglove> he still sees them just fine, there's just none that stand out particularly brightly
525701:16:41: <Goatwright> lame
525801:16:52: <viejo> Is that... Is that Batharl hurtling along at the speed of light?
525901:17:14: <Hippocratesi> my god
526001:17:20: <Hippocratesi> I see it too
526101:17:23: <viejo> He's coming right for us and he's entered crit city! RUN!
526201:17:44: <Rainglove> Saav, there's nothing particularly astounding about it visually, but it certainly feels different. Roll K planes.
526301:17:55: <NachtRuine> 1d20+7 kplanes
526401:17:57: <Rainglove> Nurel can as well
526501:17:57: <Puffgoof> NachtRuine, kplanes: 12 [1d20=5]
526601:18:00: <Benedict> Nurel is also curious about one of these vibrant threads and stares at them. Curiously. He wants to touch one. Curiously.
526701:18:17: <Benedict> Even if I don't have knowlege in planes?
526801:18:30: <Rainglove> in this specific instance
526901:18:33: <Benedict> 1d20 Oh boy, time to fail!
527001:18:35: <Puffgoof> Benedict, Oh boy, time to fail!: 13 [1d20=13]
527101:18:46: <NachtRuine> upset.jpg
527201:18:47: <Rainglove> well, maybe the witch knows
527301:19:04: <Benedict> "Why are some threads so.. vibrant?"
527401:19:16: <NachtRuine> "Yes, I see these as well."
527501:19:30: <Goatwright> Waakanti looks at them with confusion.
527601:19:42: <viejo> 1d20+6 hrk
527701:19:43: <Puffgoof> Viejo, hrk: 8 [1d20=2]
527801:19:51: <Goatwright> not YOU you bum
527901:19:58: <Rainglove> should've paid attention in plane class
528001:20:05: <viejo> fuck you I have k planes as well
528101:20:15: <Goatwright> it was for the fags seeing the sparkly liens
528201:20:17: <Hippocratesi> 1d20-1 what are planes????
528301:20:17: <Puffgoof> Hippocratesi, what are planes????: 5 [1d20=6]
528401:20:20: <NachtRuine> "They feel... Different."
528501:20:20: <Goatwright> lines even
528601:20:24: <Hippocratesi> oh wait
528701:20:28: <Hippocratesi> oops
528801:20:32: <Hippocratesi> 1d20+1 what are planes????
528901:20:34: <Puffgoof> Hippocratesi, what are planes????: 5 [1d20=4]
529001:20:37: <viejo> >sparkly lines
529101:20:38: <Hippocratesi> :(
529201:20:39: <Goatwright> my sides
529301:20:48: <viejo> what special snowflake bullshit is this
529401:21:04: <Hippocratesi> they have GODS
529501:21:07: <Rainglove> The witch shrugs. "They likely hold some significance to you. Those who follow gods or have left some piece of themselves on other planes usually have draws to them."
529601:21:12: <Rainglove> hippo wiiiiiins
529701:21:44: <viejo> it might be gods
529801:22:04: <Hippocratesi> gods aren't REAL
529901:22:33: <Benedict> Nurel wonders what happens if he TOUCHES a thread.
530001:22:52: <viejo> Qojo is too busy trying to get the taste of seme- lime out of her mouth.
530101:23:09: <Rainglove> "That is not the purpose of me showing you this, though." She tugs at one of the lines that connects to one of the charms. "As I said, magic can be sent along these lines. The charms... absorb undirected magic, and send it elsewhere. It is a very slow process, many do not notice it."
530201:23:40: <NachtRuine> Saav ponders quietly, "Perhaps some of these are tied to Axis? No, no, it'd be Abaddon." He gets the urge to poke at a thread, but keeps himself in control and listens to the witch once again.
530301:24:16: <Benedict> Touch touch touch. "Nurel does not follow yet."
530401:25:07: <Rainglove> "Some things follow the magic along the threads. Never very friendly things."
530501:25:34: <Rainglove> Nurel, you don't feel anything particularly strong. A faint tug every time you touch one, like something is trying to draw you away, but you remain firmly rooted in reality.
530601:26:12: <Goatwright> Waakanti just observes.
530701:27:12: <Rainglove> "That is why I am concerned. Without preparation, many things follow the magic. The charms are slow, and I have taken care to weaken any outsiders, but without constant observation large amounts of magic travel very quickly, and anything following it arrives at full strength."
530801:28:14: <NachtRuine> "So this is the only way to cleanse the land. By shovelling the threads into these... Charms."
530901:28:52: <Benedict> "Does Wise Woman mean that attempt to clean will attract... devils and demons?
531001:29:32: <Rainglove> She shakes her head. "It can be done very quickly, but as I said, things see the magic. The charms act as... filters? They slow the flow of magic into the threads, so that only very small creatures are drawn. And I have taken precautions against them. Without the charms, it is difficult to control the flow. Too much magic at once and very large things come."
531101:29:53: <Goatwright> "How large?"
531201:29:59: <Goatwright> Waakanti seems almost intrigued.
531301:30:04: <Hippocratesi> "And what sort of things?"
531401:30:54: <viejo> And why can't kids resist the taste of cinnamon toast crunch?
531501:31:01: <Rainglove> She shrugs. "Depends on what sees. Sometimes a charm will break and I will have only a few small wolves. Sometimes I will have several very large bears. Often they are beasts of shadow, devourers."
531601:31:17: <Goatwright> "Anything.. larger?"
531701:31:27: <Goatwright> Waakanti rubs his beard, intrigued.
531801:31:34: <Goatwright> Quite so, now.
531901:32:18: <Benedict> "Wolves? Farm near town had problem with magic wolves."
532001:32:35: <Rainglove> "Without caution, yes. Pick the wrong thread and a very angry demon may appear in your lap. If you are cautious, then only the smaller creatures I have dealt with."
532101:33:36: <Goatwright> He takes a mental note of this. "So, in order to cleanse the land, I must find the right thread and.. put magic into it?"
532201:34:25: <Rainglove> "That is overly simplifying it, but at its core, yes."
532301:34:49: <Rainglove> "The speed at which you cleanse an area also matters, the amount of magic you are dumping, all of that matters."
532401:35:47: <NachtRuine> "I presume a slow amount is best, so as not to attract outsiders."
532501:36:45: <Rainglove> She nods. "It is preferable to avoid connecting to certain planes as well. The infernal plane, the plane of shadow, places such as those."
532601:37:34: <Goatwright> "May we find somewhere I can attempt this?"
532701:38:36: <Rainglove> "If you are alright with trying here. I have, as I said, taken precautions."
532801:38:56: <Benedict> Nurel touches one of the threads for a bit longer this time, curious if one of the goblin gods is trying to speak to him.
532901:38:56: <Goatwright> Waakanti nods. "I do not mind."
533001:40:50: <Rainglove> No words come through Nurel, but you feel the limited magic inside of you surge. Nothing really happens, but you can certainly feel the effects.
533101:41:16: <Goatwright> Waakanti picks a particularly random thread. Can he sense what plane it might be from?
533201:41:25: <Goatwright> Wot with his previously established fantastic crit of a roll.
533301:41:39: <NachtRuine> Saav is similarly curious of the threads, but he knows touching the threads that call to him would take him to no good place.
533401:41:52: <Rainglove> Rolling over your K planes roll from earlier, it feels like a nice little neutral plane. There's probably a bunny on the other end, hopping about happily.
533501:42:05: <Goatwright> Groovy.
533601:42:21: <Goatwright> Waakanti begins slowly channeling magic into it.
533701:42:41: <Rainglove> Roll spellcraft
533801:42:43: <NachtRuine> Yet still, his mind calls to it. He gives one of the vibrant threads a poke.
533901:43:00: <Goatwright> 1d20+5
534001:43:00: <Puffgoof> Goatwright, 1d20+5: 14 [1d20=9]
534101:43:03: <Rainglove> You feel basically the same thing, saav.
534201:43:03: <Goatwright> darn
534301:43:04: <Benedict> What an odd feeling. Nurel will just forget about touching threads.
534401:43:21: <Rainglove> Will save, waakanti.
534501:43:25: <Goatwright> oh boy
534601:43:32: <Goatwright> 1d20+8
534701:43:32: <Puffgoof> Goatwright, 1d20+8: 23 [1d20=15]
534801:43:51: <NachtRuine> Saav doesn't like that feeling. His curiosity sated, he pays attention to the giant and his spellcrafting.
534901:45:32: <Rainglove> Waakanti you just about get blown the fuck up. As soon as you start trickling magic through, it feels like a void's opened up underneath you. There's an audible crack as this happens, before waakanti manages to mostly regain control of himself.
535001:46:26: <Rainglove> You put a brief surge from the ground into the thread, though it seems like it was weakened by whatever that witch has in place. It's more surprising than directly harmful.
535101:47:39: <Rainglove> The witch blinks at the bang and starts, but returns to whatever she was doing as Waakanti manages not to explode.
535201:47:57: <Benedict> "What just happened?"
535301:48:04: <NachtRuine> "You are alright, giant."
535401:49:08: <Goatwright> "I.. I think." Waakanti starts a bit.
535501:49:18: <Goatwright> "I do not think I should touch that thread."
535601:50:10: <Rainglove> The witch shakes her head. "That is what happens with every thread. It's what I use the charms for, as I said."
535701:50:59: <NachtRuine> "I would attempt to try this as well, but I fear that I may only bring trouble, given the negativity of my energy."
535801:51:52: <Goatwright> This gives Waakanti an idea!"
535901:52:15: <Goatwright> He attempts the same thread, then attempts to channel positive energy into it, rather than straight magic.
536001:52:54: <Hippocratesi> ruh roh
536101:53:07: <Benedict> Viejo got bored
536201:53:10: <Benedict> Not enough FIGHTING
536301:53:17: <Rainglove> not enough OOC CHANNEL
536401:54:01: <Rainglove> You get the same pull, waakanti, but you manage to keep it under control this time.
536501:55:01: <NachtRuine> "Witch, would negative energy be harmful for our purposes."
536601:55:22: <Goatwright> "I used positive energy, and it seemed to help considerably in controlling it."
536701:55:29: <Goatwright> "But I am limited in its use."
536801:55:54: <Rainglove> Waakanti it occurs to you that the land isn't really tainted with positive energy
536901:56:16: <Goatwright> o-oh
537001:56:23: <Goatwright> w-well maybe just ignore what I said
537101:56:28: <Rainglove> The witch shrugs. "I doubt it. It is simply another type of energy."
537201:56:59: <Goatwright> "And what are these charms you've made?"
537301:57:32: <NachtRuine> "Then I shall give it a try." He makes it a point to avoid the threads that call out to him. He picks one and goes for it.

538802:02:25: <Benedict> Nice.
538902:02:42: <NachtRuine> not my fault. i have great modifiers
539002:04:01: <Rainglove> Saav, the same BANG happens, and you dump a whole lot of shit down that pipe. Something clenches around your wrist and your hands go cold as the magic stops. The witch eyes Saav, then lets go of his wrist. "Perhaps you could use some help."
539102:05:53: <Rainglove> She grabs one of the charms off the wall and pulls at a few threads, removing them, then holds it out for whoever to grab. "It slows the flow. Simply tie it to the thread."
539202:06:27: <Goatwright> Waakanti does not immediately go for it, assuming Saav still wants to try.
539302:06:54: <NachtRuine> c-can i try again?
539402:07:01: <NachtRuine> is that a thing?

539902:08:30: <Rainglove> yeah
540002:09:05: <NachtRuine> "I-I think I can handle it." His mask, while betraying his voice, still cannot hide his panic.
540102:09:13: <Puffgoof> NachtRuine, ohboy: 23 [1d20=6]
540202:09:13: <NachtRuine> 1d20+17 ohboy

541302:09:59: <Goatwright> get sent into Hell
541402:10:01: <Goatwright> do we need to rescue him
541502:10:03: <Goatwright> that could be fun
541602:10:09: <NachtRuine> Hell actually is the LE plane
541702:10:19: <NachtRuine> not Abaddon like previously stated
541802:12:14: <NachtRuine> 1d20+9 HERO REROLLLLLLL
541902:12:14: <Puffgoof> NachtRuine, HERO REROLLLLLLL: 27 [1d20=18]
542002:12:39: <Goatwright> Is the first near-failure evident or
542102:14:59: <Rainglove> Saav just kind of fades temporarily into non-existence before somehow finding a spring of internal will and pulling himself back. It's pretty visible. Saav, meanwhile, gets a nice little glimpse of the absolute nothingness between planes before yanking himself back to the material plane.
542202:15:19: <Rainglove> Something very hungry pulls at the other end of the thread, but as saav returns the thing fades.
542302:15:41: <Benedict> "Saav. You no longer get to touch threads."
542402:15:43: <Goatwright> Waakanti snatches the charm from Saav. "Perhaps it is best you... not."
542502:15:48: <Rainglove> The witch seems pretty concerned. "I uh, do not think you can do this."
542602:16:31: <NachtRuine> Saav looks about with shaky hands and breath. "I do not wish to return there."
542702:17:06: <NachtRuine> It's pretty obvious, even with the mask, that he's kinda terrified.
542802:17:46: <Goatwright> "In fact, perhaps it is time we take our leave. We have obtained what we need. I do not assume you require more time with your people, goblin."
542902:17:55: <Benedict> Even Nurel could do better than you, Saav.
543002:18:01: <Goatwright> Waakanti seems somewhat ANGRY with how bad Saav just almost goofed.
543102:18:23: <NachtRuine> "I-I was certain I could've handled it. I do not understand."
543202:18:59: <Benedict> Nurel looks to Waakanti, then to the Wise Woman. "<Is there anything this town needs help with? My... possibly one of yours as well, don't know your pantheon, has tasked me with helping all goblins. Uniting them, too. What is your name?>"
543302:19:34: <Goatwright> "It is clear you cannot and I would not be comfortable with further attempts. Your god no doubt casts doubt upon the toying with these strings of being. You have other things you may do. Law is your knowledge. Stick with this, manage town. Stick with anger."
543402:21:06: <NachtRuine> "Anger is not my place. But neither is this, I suppose." He seems defeated.
543502:21:51: <Rainglove> The goblin kicks at Waakanti. "You are clearly not suited to this either. It is a matter of practice and of learning. Do not berate him because you are luckier than he."
543602:23:21: <NachtRuine> "Luck aside, I do not wish to attempt this again. I saw beyond this plane, and I do not wish to see it again. The chance of it happening again is enough of a deterrent."
543702:23:59: <Goatwright> "I do not have gods of evil clouding my luck, witch-goblin." He nudges her kicking away with his foot.
543802:29:59: <Rainglove> She shakes her head. "For one who claims to have much in common with my magic, you are terribly judgemental of those who experiment with it." She turns to Nurel. "<The chief would be able to tell you what needs to be done. I am Avi.>"
543902:30:55: <NachtRuine> "I will be outside." Saav leaves and kinda just sits down and tries to forget the abyss.
544002:31:49: <Benedict> "<I am Nurel. Last of the Blackened Tooth. If you or your people need me, feel free to come to Novit at anytime to seek my aid.>"
544102:32:04: <Goatwright> Waakanti seems somewhat rustled by this comment, but lets out a deep breath. "You are right. I apologize. I worry for the well-being of his town if he were not safe, and I have been taught with great caution. I thank you for your teachings. If you may, please write down a means to create these potions."
544202:32:13: <Benedict> Nurel puts the qt goblin's name in his "best remember this shit" memory folder.
544302:32:19: <Goatwright> "I will go address my angry mistake." He then goes out to APOLOGIZE to Saav.
544402:32:36: <Hippocratesi> Gwyn is there.
544502:34:23: <Benedict> Nurel writes down that alchemy recipe for the GMO-making products, and gives it to Avi. "<Not sure if you're people are having trouble with their crops. But this helps, Avi. Thank you for your teachings, Wise Woman.>"
544602:35:08: <Rainglove> Avi nods at Nurel. "<I will remember your offer, though I doubt I will be able to leave for some time. I would not thank me for what I have shown you yet, those two are... unstable. But what is done is done. They will learn with time.>"
544702:35:25: <Goatwright> Waakanti nudges Saav with his big smelly giant food. "I am sorry for the lecture."
544802:35:56: <Benedict> "<Of course they are. That's why we came looking for someone like you.>"
544902:36:37: <Goatwright> foot*
545002:37:18: <NachtRuine> "And I am sorry for almost casting the town into the shadow of some horror."
545102:38:19: <Goatwright> "I was more concerned for your specific well-being. Your own town needs you now. I had not helped only to see it fall after I take my leave."
545202:38:40: <Rainglove> She nods. "<Well, I am glad to have potentially been of some help. It is nice to see a new face every now and then.>"
545302:39:59: <Benedict> "<And Nurel hopes yours is one he'll see often. I will be speaking to your chief now.>" Nurel does that typical goblin bow, then turns and heads out.
545402:41:21: <NachtRuine> "I do not expect that it would fall should I phase out. It is stable enough. But I appreciate your concern."
545502:42:21: <Benedict> Nurel has no time to deal with losers. Needs to earn favor. He heads back to the chief to see how he can help this goblin town.
545602:42:56: <Rainglove> zim zam zoom back to the chief nurel goes
545702:43:15: <Goatwright> "You are its driving force, you and that goblin. The others and I are merely here for... the experience, perhaps, but our desires seem more selfish than not. But you both continue giving to its growing number of people."
545802:45:25: <NachtRuine> "I appreciate these words. But you still spoke the truth in the tent."
545902:46:44: <Goatwright> He shakes his head. "Perhaps I am only lucky. Fate may be repaying me for its past deeds."
546002:47:02: <Benedict> Nurel bows his head to the guards at the house, then speaks in his goblin tongue again. So comfortable to be able to speak goblin all the time. "<The Wise Woman helped greatly. I thank you for allowing us to see her. Does your town need any sort of aid? My people can help in some way.>"
546102:47:22: <Goatwright> "We will both learn, in time, but it may be a good idea to find somewhere safer to practice, and so long as supervision is present."
546202:49:11: <NachtRuine> He nods. "Yes. I will take care to ensure that it does not happen again. I am capable of taking luck out of the equation, but only for short amounts of time."
546302:49:38: <Rainglove> The chief thinks, then nods. "<The forest I spoke of earlier, that was destroyed in the blast. Some of it still stands, and it is possessed of... some kind of evil. Some form of living plants come from it. Our walls protect us, but they make life difficult, and I shudder to think of what may be deeper inside that forest."
546402:51:12: <Benedict> "<We will take care of it soon. I would say now, but two of our kind had a small learning experience and need some rest.>"
546502:52:55: <NachtRuine> >small'
546602:54:11: <Rainglove> The goblin nods. "<Understandable Speaking with the weaver is stressful. It was a pleasure seeing you, it is nice to know we're not the only survivors.>"
546702:55:25: <Benedict> "<There was another goblin tribe that survived, and I am continuing to look for survivors. I do wish to unite goblins as one, so that we have a better chance against anything that threatens us. I will take my leave again.>" Another bow, and then Nurel... goes around town. Admiring all the GOBLIN that is this town.
546802:56:04: <Goatwright> Waakanti goes and waits by his caravan.
546902:56:49: <NachtRuine> Saav kinda just wanders, still shaken from his vision.
547002:57:09: <Goatwright> We are getting along swimmingly today.
547102:58:09: <Benedict> It's the power of GOBLIN TOWNS
547203:00:34: <Goatwright> TOLD YOU IT WAS GROSS.
547303:01:12: <Benedict> IT'S THE BEST TOWN EVER
547403:01:17: <Benedict> Let's abandon Novit and live here.
547503:04:39: <NachtRuine> Yeah nah. Too little diversity.
547603:07:35: <Benedict> Hippo, if you're ever bored with Gwyn, you could switch him out with one of your other PCs.
547703:07:51: <Benedict> Just say Gwyn is doing town shit/helping his people/fucking his gf for 30 days and 30 nights.
547803:10:22: <Hippocratesi> I mean I could but
547903:10:31: <Hippocratesi> that'd just tempt me to do it any time I feel like
548003:10:40: <Hippocratesi> I wouldn't get invested
548103:10:45: <NachtRuine> (ooc pls)
548203:10:50: <Hippocratesi> oops
5483
5484 2014-09-21
5485
5486
548703:11:28: <Hippocratesi> Meanwhile, in the Fortress of Justice
548803:13:07: <Goatwright> Waakanti is around.
548903:13:14: <Goatwright> Doing Waakanti things where he is needed.
549003:13:36: <Benedict> Nurel sits in the main hall at the long table, using his learned writing skills in Common to write down some important roles the town will need as it continues to expand. Aided by a letter from the public stating what they need for the town. Actually, he's just copying the type of people the town is demanding. He's not intelligent enough to think of them on
549103:13:38: <Benedict> his own.
549203:14:01: <Hippocratesi> Gwyn and Huron are around.
549303:14:31: <Hippocratesi> Paladin-chan has just arrived, if it's an appropriate time.
549403:15:03: <Benedict> Go introduce yourself to the leaders or something.
549503:17:48: <Hippocratesi> She hears that the leaders are in the town hall! She taps on the door and enters, presumably the main hall is empty. "Erm, hello? I was told to come here."
549603:18:38: <Rainglove> OY LEADERS
549703:18:42: <Rainglove> YOU GOT A GUEST
549803:18:49: <Hippocratesi> HULLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
549903:18:58: <Benedict> Nurel is in the main hall, you blind bitch. He looks up from the writing he is doing to see... a new immigrant? Ugggggh. "Yes?"
550003:19:04: <Rainglove> SOME TALKIN' PAIR A' TITS
550103:19:35: <Goatwright> What race is she?
550203:19:42: <Benedict> Celestial. Angel-kin.
550303:21:07: <Goatwright> Waakanti sighs. When are qt giants gonna show up?
550403:21:07: <Hippocratesi> She looks somewhat surprised at an important looking goblin being there. "Are you one of the leaders I was told about?"
550503:21:53: <Benedict> Nurel nods, then looks for the OTHER leaders to help him out. Gwyn? Waak? Saav? Qo- Qojo is never any help.
550603:22:18: <Hippocratesi> Gwyn is off being a dick.
550703:22:46: <Goatwright> Waakanti is there too.
550803:22:49: <Goatwright> c-cause why not
550903:24:43: <NachtRuine> Saav is walking down the hall, cape aflutter because of magic, mask up, reading a law book. He sees Nurel and Waakanti gathered with someone, and approaches. "Is this someone who requires our assistance."
551003:26:09: <Hippocratesi> Paladin-chan was about to speak until another scary man appeared. "I am presuming you are all like me then? Gestalt, was it?"
551103:26:44: <Hippocratesi> "I was led here by my Goddess, she told me I'd find help here."
551203:26:56: <Goatwright> "Oh, more gods."
551303:28:26: <NachtRuine> Saav lowers his mask, remembering his promise. "Yes, we are gestalt. What help are you in need of?"
551403:29:14: <Benedict> Nurel looks around for... are there any sort of immigration forms around here?
551503:31:35: <Hippocratesi> She frowns a bit. "My home and all those within it have perished- except me. I was hoping I could perhaps stay here, in exchange I will help in anyway I can. It's the task I've been given for now."
551603:34:11: <Benedict> Nurel is not going to find any immigration forms anytime soon, but his LARGE FUCKING EARS pick up paladin-chan's story. How sad. It reminds him of another story. A story about Nurel. Well, okay. He then remembers the list he was making, and so beckons Paladin-Chan, Saav, and Waak over.
551703:34:57: <Hippocratesi> Paladin-chan approaches.
551803:35:19: <NachtRuine> "My sympathies. You will find good company here." He sees Nurel beckoning him and moves.
551903:37:10: <Benedict> Goatwright, you fuck, get over here. Nurel points to the list he made, and the letter from the townspeople. "Though all of..." Looks up to Paladin-Chan. "Most of us would be considered 'leaders', we don't really have a... specialized role in how to keep the town running. We need to assign ourselves a role."
552003:38:02: <Goatwright> "Should I be receiving a role?"
552103:38:12: <Benedict> "The town sent a letter, and I looked through the letter to put down the roles in order." Wow, Nurel doesn't sound like shit. The roles seem to be: Ruler, Councilor, General, Diplomat, High Priest, Royal Enforcer, Spymaster, Treasurer. Two roles, Warden and Magister, have names next to them already.
552203:38:15: <Benedict> The dwarf guard and the mage guy,
552303:39:56: <NachtRuine> Saav looks over the list. "We do not have enough within our group to fill all of these roles. Will we have to expand our group or will we simply leave those to be vacant?"
552403:42:20: <Benedict> Nurel hands the letter to Saav. "There are some people in town who can fill the unfilled roles."
552503:45:52: <NachtRuine> "Very well." He looks over the list in detail, then looks to the celestial, then back to Nurel. "Shall we handle the visitor before we begin discussing this?"
552603:46:19: <Hippocratesi> "If it is an urgent matter, I am willing to wait."
552703:47:16: <Benedict> "Suppose. Maybe she can help in way."
552803:48:50: <NachtRuine> He nods. He asks the celestial, "In what ways /can/ you help?"
552903:51:37: <Hippocratesi> Paladin-chan blinks. "Well, I'm a Paladin. I can be a diplomat, if one is needed."
553003:52:41: <Hippocratesi> "And if a peaceful approach doesn't work, I can deal with the problem in other ways."
553103:55:14: <NachtRuine> Sounds like someone Saav knows. "A diplomat is not out of the question. More than one can be useful."
553203:55:30: <Goatwright> Waakanti rubs his chin. "It seems a bit early though, does it not?"
553303:56:38: <NachtRuine> "Of course, I do not intend to allow a stranger to take up an important role so early. That would be imprudent."
553403:58:47: <Benedict> "Even the people on that list are strangers to us, though. We don't really know our town people well, so I do not think they would mind a paladin with power, if we decided on it."
553504:02:48: <NachtRuine> "But we know that they mean no harm to the town." Saav looks to the angelkin. "While I do feel that you have no ill intentions, we must be certain that you won't turn out to cause harm to one of us, or worse, the town as a whole."
553604:05:59: <Hippocratesi> "I assure you that my intention is to protect and serve, though I understand your caution. I take no offense."
553704:07:22: <Benedict> That still leaves ALL THE OTHER FUCKING ROLES. Including the most important one.
553804:07:23: <Benedict> Ruler.
553904:11:27: <NachtRuine> We ain't focused on that, we focused more on whether the angel gonna kill us. "To be certain, would you mind if we asked you a few questions while you were under the effect of a truth-telling spell?"
554004:12:17: <Hippocratesi> "Um...okay. I can't exactly refuse, I suppose."
554104:12:21: <Benedict> Oh gods. That spell again.
554204:15:11: <NachtRuine> Not Zone of Truth. Well, like Zone, but only affecting one person, and we'll know if it doesn't take. "I thank you. If we ask a question you are uncomfortable with, you are able to not answer." Saav approaches and casts Touch of Truthtelling. Will save negates, but as said, we'll know.
554304:15:49: <Hippocratesi> oh right i have to roll
554404:15:57: <NachtRuine> well you can just not roll and let it happen
554504:16:10: <Hippocratesi> well i might as well do that
554604:16:16: <Hippocratesi> ASK AWAY
554704:17:24: <NachtRuine> She very briefly takes the image of an inevitable, an outsider of pure law. "Good." He gives her space. "What or who brought you here?"
554804:18:05: <Hippocratesi> "Nydiella, Goddess of Song and Tranquility, brought me here."
554904:18:23: <Benedict> "Never heard of Nydiella. Who is she?"
555004:19:43: <Hippocratesi> "I cannot say."
555104:20:38: <NachtRuine> "We do not have much time to ask questions, so we should focus on the important parts." He turns back to her. "Do you intend to cause harm to anyone within this town, or to the town itself?"
555204:21:02: <Hippocratesi> "No."
555304:22:28: <NachtRuine> He nods. "So now we are certain. Just one or two more questions before I dispel the spell. What is your name?"
555404:22:50: <Hippocratesi> "My name is Aeria."
555504:23:29: <NachtRuine> Saav looks to Nurel. "Do you have any questions for her, or shall I dispel?"
555604:24:21: <Benedict> "What exactly are you?"
555704:25:02: <Hippocratesi> "I am what is called an Aasimar."
555804:26:19: <Benedict> "I'm done."
555904:28:33: <NachtRuine> The spell falls, and Aeria no longer feels compelled. "I apologize if you were uncomfortable, it is a side effect of the spell, I have found. But now we are certain that we do not have reason to worry. I am Saavou Dresel." He bows.
556004:29:46: <Hippocratesi> Aeria bows her head. "If it gains your trust, I am willing to endure discomfort. It is nice to meet you, Saavou."
556104:32:03: <Benedict> "Nurel of the Blackened Tooth Tribe." Nurel just wanted to assign roles today.
556204:33:08: <Hippocratesi> "And you, Nurel." She bows to him as well. What a nice goblin.
556304:34:42: <NachtRuine> "Ah, yes, the roles. Let us return to that." He puts the list in the middle of the table's occupants. "Shall we start from the top?"
556404:35:23: <Benedict> "I suppose."
556504:36:37: <NachtRuine> Saav clears his throat. "Ruler. Fairly obvious in terms of what's expected. Who among us would fit that?"
556604:38:58: <Benedict> "Qojo." Nurel makes a funny.
556704:40:48: <NachtRuine> Saav laughs, but it's kind of a weird laugh, like from someone who hasn't laughed in a while. "Nurel makes a joke. And a good one. But moving on, the giant has said himself he doesn't wish to stick around."
556804:43:18: <Benedict> "The giant does not wish to stick around. Gwyn, unsure. Qojo is Qojo. I am good with words. You have a way to inspire. Aeria is too new. Seems the only ones that would fit would be me or you."
556904:45:32: <NachtRuine> Saav sighs. "And I presume we both likely desire to be the ruler. I do not feel it is fair to make this decision without at least having everyone here. Perhaps we should move on, see if one of us fits a certain role better than ruler."
557004:48:08: <Goatwright> "I do not believe I have much in common with these people as it is."
557104:48:38: <Benedict> "Or let town vote." That always works. Next on the list is Councilor!
557204:48:42: <Goatwright> "But the orc's questionable religious problems may prove an issue for ruling."
557304:49:06: <Hippocratesi> "...Questionable?"
557404:51:34: <NachtRuine> Saav was kinda afraid that would be brought up around the angelkin. "Yes, my god is... Not good, to say the least. But our connection is not a permanent thing, and I intend to cut it once a debt has been paid back."
557504:53:53: <Hippocratesi> "You worship a god of evil? And you fail to bring this up yourself?"
557604:54:44: <Goatwright> "He has done much for these people, regardless."
557704:55:00: <Benedict> Here_we_go.ponyexpress
557804:55:37: <Goatwright> "You are new to this table; please do not already prepare to chastise one which you are unfamiliar with yourself."
557904:55:47: <Goatwright> Waakanti casts GIANT'S GLOWER.
558004:55:54: <NachtRuine> Saav rubs his forehead. "I am a victim of circumstance. I assure you I, myself, am not aligned perfectly with my god."
558104:56:39: <NachtRuine> "If you would like to discuss my life story, we may do so at a later date."
558204:58:59: <Hippocratesi> "I do apologize if it is not my place but you cannot expect me to accept such a thing so easily. I trust that you will not be a problem, as the others here tolerate you, but I will personally remain cautious."
558305:00:51: <NachtRuine> "And that is perfectly acceptable. You are clearly a strong adherent to good, and I respect that. Just know the worship is not a warm one. Now, shall we move on?"
558405:00:56: <Benedict> "So, the next item is councilor. The one who brings what the town wants to ruler."
558505:01:35: <Rainglove> somewhere, cath'paz pouts
558605:02:06: <Benedict> Nurel feels so distant from his own gods.
558705:02:12: <Goatwright> Glasbok pats him reassuringly on the back. "You'll get the next one, buddy."
558805:02:43: <Goatwright> "This seems fitting for the ape."
558905:02:49: <Goatwright> Waakanti nods.
559005:04:16: <NachtRuine> "I feel Qojo's talents lie in his intelligence, as odd as that is to say, but on several occasions, he has known more than even I. He may be better suited for a role that takes advantage of that. Councilor does not exactly do so."
559105:05:15: <Goatwright> "He also has a distinct nagging quality that gives him want to investigate into the affairs of others. None of us possess this strongly."
559205:06:42: <NachtRuine> "Yes, but Qojo is hardly approachable. Would you tell your worries and expectations to him?"
559305:08:34: <Benedict> "I would not trust Qojo with my breakfast."
559405:09:00: <Goatwright> "I hardly trust him to breathe properly." He rubs his beard. "I understand."
559505:09:09: <Goatwright> "Perhaps we shall set this one aside. What is next?"
559605:09:51: <Benedict> General is next on the list.
559705:10:16: <Benedict> "Someone strong or char- chara... someone good with words."
559805:10:56: <Goatwright> "Yo?"u
559905:11:00: <Goatwright> "You?"*
560005:11:14: <Rainglove> gesundheit
560105:11:29: <NachtRuine> "Charismatic would be the word, Nurel. That said, in terms of strength, that would go to either the giant or Gwyn."
560205:14:17: <Benedict> "We will ask the elf if he wants to be General, then, if Nikli does not want it."
560305:15:29: <Goatwright> "I am poor words."
560405:15:35: <Goatwright> with words
560505:15:37: <Goatwright> goddamn
560605:16:04: <Benedict> "But strong."
560705:16:14: <NachtRuine> "Yes, but you have strength. Sometimes action is more important than word."
560805:16:51: <Goatwright> He shakes his head. "What is next?"
560905:17:10: <Benedict> Diplomat.
561005:17:27: <Benedict> Nurel waits for everyone to stare at him.
561105:18:54: <Goatwright> Waakanti actually objects! "I do not believe your understanding of the language would let you fit comfortably here."
561205:19:32: <Benedict> "I've been learning the past few weeks."
561305:19:44: <Hippocratesi> Gwyn bursts through the door because the plot says so.
561405:20:09: <Goatwright> "You would serve better as leader. The people are used to short ones."
561505:20:15: <NachtRuine> "Yes, I have been instructing him in proper Comm- Oh hello Gwyn. Would you like to be the general of the town's army?"
561605:20:18: <Goatwright> Ho ho. Waakanti jokes.
561705:20:20: <Rainglove> A dwarf tumbles away from the suddenly opened door
561805:21:15: <Hippocratesi> "That depends on who and what is in the army."
561905:22:00: <Benedict> "Army would need to be diverse. Not like we have a lot of one specific race. But you would get to train and command them."
562005:24:05: <NachtRuine> "Yes, you'd have mostly free reign regarding your army. Unless the ruler specifically contradicted you, of course."
562105:24:50: <Hippocratesi> "...And who is the ruler?"
562205:25:14: <Benedict> "Undecided."
562305:25:15: <NachtRuine> Saav looks to Nurel. "We have yet to decide. It's a difficult question."
562405:25:48: <Benedict> "Could let the town vote. Or we, the 'leaders' vote, so long as we don't vote for ourselves."
562505:27:26: <Hippocratesi> "Hmmmph. Fine. I will be this 'General'."
562605:27:47: <NachtRuine> "Great. Put it to paper and let's look at the next one."
562705:28:17: <Benedict> The next one after General is still Diplomat.
562805:28:46: <Goatwright> "What of this sparkly creature?" He points to Paladin-chan.
562905:28:57: <Hippocratesi> Gwyn scribbles his name and leaves. Who's the bitch? Who cares.
563005:29:36: <Benedict> He probably just wanted to get home to his waifu and j-j-jam it in.
563105:30:46: <NachtRuine> "Actually, I feel she may do best as the High Priest. Very clearly pious, and not... ambiguous as I am."
563205:32:13: <Hippocratesi> Aeria speaks up. "Does that not involve an official religion?"
563305:33:00: <Benedict> "From the letter, you could just be more like a... mediator? I think is the word? You just make sure the various religions don't try killing each other."
563405:33:32: <Goatwright> "She has already sneered at the thought of a god opposing her quest for good, has she not?"
563505:34:05: <NachtRuine> "The town does not have an official religion to itself. That said, most people within the city are not evil."
563605:35:28: <Goatwright> "It is still unnerving, in my opinion."
563705:36:26: <Hippocratesi> "Is it not beneficial for evil to be wiped from here?"
563805:37:22: <Goatwright> "We have already had experience with overzealousness in terms of religious alliance."
563905:37:44: <NachtRuine> "Let us not get into ideological arguments. Let us return to the issue of a diplomat."
564005:40:26: <NachtRuine> "We would require someone that is either charismatic or intelligent. Both may be preferable. I am not exactly the former."
564105:41:26: <Benedict> "Nurel is not the later." And Nurel goes back to referring to himself in the third person. Why? Maybe he's just comfortable with it. Piss off.
564205:41:33: <Goatwright> "A female has its perks in traditional court systems, does it not?"
564305:42:17: <Hippocratesi> "I...suppose it would."
564405:42:51: <Goatwright> Waakanti nods.
564505:46:39: <NachtRuine> "Right. So she becomes a diplomat. That would leave Nurel to be the High Priest, since me being High Priest is not the best idea, what with the god I worship, and that there are no other religious people in the group."
564605:47:13: <Goatwright> "Does it not require a mediator?"
564705:48:30: <NachtRuine> Saav stops to ponder this. "I would suppose so. Yet I imagine it would help greatly if the High Priest himself were pious."
564805:48:45: <Benedict> "I am sure the people in town are pious."
564905:49:45: <Goatwright> Waakanti rubs his chin. "There are not enough people to fill these roles, it seems."
565005:50:15: <Benedict> "The townspeople knew that, and they provided a list of people who could take certain roles. Except Ruler, of course."
565105:50:22: <NachtRuine> "We will find someone within the town to fill said roles. Perhaps the ones which we cannot decide on."
565205:52:50: <Hippocratesi> "If you don't mind me asking, who is this Qojo I keep hearing of?"
565305:53:10: <Benedict> "Qojo is a monkey-person who opens his mouth so much, his tongue is sunburnt."
565405:53:31: <NachtRuine> "Qojo is the one member of the group who is not present. He is... a special one. He shines in combat, but is dim elsewhere."
565505:54:58: <Hippocratesi> "I, er, see."
565605:55:24: <Benedict> Do we even want Royal Enforcer?
565705:55:43: <Hippocratesi> well it's not required
565805:55:49: <Benedict> Spymaster is next on the list.
565905:57:16: <NachtRuine> "Is there anyone in the group would might be considered cunning?"
566005:57:53: <Goatwright> "No."
566105:58:12: <Benedict> "Well... Qojo is good at stealth?"
566205:58:49: <NachtRuine> "Qojo can stealth, but he is by no means cunning. He is practically an open book. As such, we should probably find someone in the town who will handle that."
566305:59:22: <Goatwright> Waakanti slouches in his too-tiny seat. "This is difficult."
566405:59:35: <Benedict> "I think we need to decide on a role we would take if not made ruler, Saav." Next item, and last item, on the list is treasurer.
566506:00:45: <NachtRuine> "I did not expect this to be easy by any means." He looks at the list. "Perhaps Qojo would be best as a treasurer. Counting coins, balancing payloads. He is... well-educated, so that may do well for him."
566606:01:41: <Goatwright> "I suppose it would keep him away from people."
566706:01:57: <NachtRuine> "Any objections, Nurel?"
566806:05:12: <Benedict> "None, but he might have one. That leaves... Ruler, Councilor, Priest, Spymaster. And leaves me, you, and Nikli out of a job."
566906:07:28: <NachtRuine> "Then we shall fill them. Out of the list, the giant sounds best fit either as the Councilor or the Priest. You are best fit for Ruler or Priest or Councilor. I am best fit for Ruler, and perhaps Spymaster. Does that sound about accurate?"
567006:09:07: <Benedict> "My cunning feels insulted." A joke? Maybe? Probably.
567106:09:46: <NachtRuine> "Do you desire to be a spymaster, Nurel?"
567206:09:55: <NachtRuine> It flies over his head, if it is indeed a joke.
567306:10:56: <Benedict> "No."
567406:12:40: <NachtRuine> "It is clear that we both desire to be the ruler. Once we decide that, the rest should fall into place. Let's try to keep this civil. Nurel, why do you feel that you are a good candidate?"
567506:13:43: <Goatwright> "Are we welcome to provide our input?"
567606:14:22: <Benedict> "Please do, the decision of ruler should come from everyone. Including our new friend." Nurel nods to the angel with the HUGE TITS.
567706:14:31: <Goatwright> What a rack.
567806:14:37: <Hippocratesi> YO THAT'S YOUR OWN HEADCANON
567906:14:41: <Hippocratesi> I AIN'T SAID NUTTIN BOUT TITTIES
568006:14:46: <Goatwright> Waakanti would possibly bounce his giant wang off them.
568106:15:15: <Goatwright> "The goblin is inherently less threatening appearing, which can work in our favor."
568206:15:27: <Hippocratesi> "I don't feel it is my place to say, I have only just met you all."
568306:15:37: <Benedict> "As for why... I'm a different goblin? As in, while I do wish for a home for my people, and I did perhaps get carried away a few days ago when I... saw the Wise Woman of the other tribe, I do not let race blind me to what needs to be done. Even with my inferior Common weeks ago, it was my words that united everyone behind us."
568406:15:39: <Goatwright> "As for personality types, he is less.. draconian. Calmer. Kinder. Less anonymous."
568506:16:07: <Hippocratesi> Gwyn bursts through the door once again. "I'd forgotten my axe. Has anything else been decided?"
568606:16:10: <Benedict> "Though I might have a problem with assuming the best of my own people, I feel I would be able to guide everyone fairly." Nurel is not good with words this time.
568706:16:36: <Benedict> Nurel waves to Gwyn. "We are deciding on ruler between me and Saav. Qojo has been made treasurer. Our new friend here is the Diplomat."
568806:17:04: <NachtRuine> "Gwyn, who do you feel would make a better ruler?"
568906:17:17: <Hippocratesi> Gwyn wrinkles his nose.
569006:18:30: <Hippocratesi> "...If I must choose, the goblin. He is exceptional. I suppose."
569106:19:35: <NachtRuine> Saav nods. "Very well. Aeria, since you have the benefit of having first impressions, who would make a better leader?"
569206:19:51: <Goatwright> Waakanti chuckles slightly.
569306:20:00: <Goatwright> Somebody's salty he has the lesser vote.
569406:21:49: <Hippocratesi> "I do appreciate it but truthfully, it is not for me to decide."
569506:22:08: <Benedict> What a nice lady.
569606:22:17: <Goatwright> What a nice rack on that nice lady.
569706:22:24: <Hippocratesi> i didn't wanna be a DICK
569806:22:42: <NachtRuine> "It appears that it would not have mattered anyways." The disappointment is strong with this one. "Then by majority vote, Nurel will be the leader. Make it so."
569906:23:41: <Benedict> Nurel does not like how defeated his friend sounds. "Nurel would have voted for Saav. Though it was Nurel's words, it was Saav's passion that carried us to victory."
570006:23:47: <Benedict> KING NUREL THE FIRST
570106:25:23: <NachtRuine> "I appreciate the sentiment." He doesn't exactly sound as such, but it may just be the saltiness clouding his mind. "Then that would leave me with Spymaster, unless there were some other role befitting of me."
570206:25:47: <Goatwright> "Please do not show special favor over your people, goblin, and you shall do fine."
570306:26:37: <Benedict> "I will not. You have my word." KING NUREL looks to Saav. "You could be councilor. It is a position... like a "mayor", I think."
570406:28:20: <Benedict> Councilor, High Priest, and Spymaster still need to be filled. Grab your roles, Saav and Waak, so we can hand the last one to a random NPC.
570506:28:34: <Hippocratesi> Gwyn leaves in silence. But not without his axe.
570606:29:04: <Goatwright> "What would I do as this priest, exactly?" Waakanti frowns. "I do not want to hold services."
570706:29:51: <NachtRuine> "Councilor may befit a more charismatic person than I. Although, why is a Spymaster even necessary, given the lack of towns in the area?"
570806:30:01: <Benedict> "You will make sure the other religions don't try to start a religion war with each other, mediate disputes between them, and make sure everyone has a place where they can worship. You do not need to "hold service"."
570906:30:40: <Goatwright> "I suppose I can do this."
571006:30:46: <Benedict> "Spymaster could work for criminal elements in our own town."
571106:31:19: <Benedict> Watch*
571206:32:18: <NachtRuine> "I am better fitted for punishing and catching criminals than watching for them. Is there no role that befits that? A judge or some other enforcer of the law, perhaps?"
571306:32:43: <Benedict> Nurel looks through the letter again to find something.
571406:33:21: <Benedict> "Marshal?"
571506:35:28: <NachtRuine> Saav perks up just a little. "Yes, that sounds like that is an appropriate job for me. It will do."
571606:36:48: <Benedict> Nurel assigns two civilians with +1 to important stats to the role of Spymaster and Councilor.
571706:37:34: <Goatwright> "What of the bandit leader?"
571806:37:41: <Goatwright> "Err, former bandit."
571906:38:46: <Benedict> "We can ask him, but he seemed... quite reluctant to work when we invited him to town."
572006:38:49: <Benedict> Plus we don't know his stats.
572106:39:06: <Goatwright> >implying he's not going to be fiatted to Rogue/Wizard
572206:39:24: <Hippocratesi> what a terrifying combination
572306:42:01: <NachtRuine> "Yes, I feel Rotter may prefer to be low profile."
572406:42:36: <Benedict> "Will ask him, but not know. At least we got all the paperwork sorted for Novit."
572506:43:02: <NachtRuine> "Are we to rename the place?"
572606:44:41: <Benedict> "Should we?"
572706:46:13: <NachtRuine> "I feel no need to, personally."
572806:46:52: <Benedict> "Neither do I."
572906:46:55: <Goatwright> "I believe it would be rude."
573006:47:18: <NachtRuine> "Then it stands, and I believe we are done with the deliberation."
573106:47:34: <Benedict> "That we are." Nurel files the paperwork or something.
573206:47:46: <Goatwright> Waakanti goes off to be lonely and aloof.
573306:47:49: <Goatwright> I-I guess
573406:48:44: <NachtRuine> Saav sticks around and pulls out his law book and continues where he left off when he was pulled in. The night shift never comes for Saav.
573506:49:34: <Hippocratesi> Aeria sees shit is finally dealt with, for now. "Excuse me, are there any rooms available? I'd like to retire for the evening, if I am not needed elsewhere."
573606:52:24: <NachtRuine> Saav looks up from his book. "Since you came at such a short notice, we don't exactly have a room ready for you. If you intend to retire, you may use my room, for I do not intend to sleep tonight. Things should be sorted out before your second night here."
573706:53:42: <Hippocratesi> "Erm...thank you. Where is it?"
573806:55:41: <NachtRuine> Saav gives her the directions. "Mind your step as you walk in, there may be some books stacked a little too close to the door."
573906:57:10: <NachtRuine> The definition of 'some', of course, being the entirety of the laws of Novit, barring the one book Saav has right now.
574006:57:51: <Hippocratesi> "Right..." She nods and heads to the room. N-Nighty night time.
574106:59:07: <NachtRuine> The light from Saav's candle will remain lit until the sun rises.
5742
5743
5744 2014-09-22
5745
5746
574723:24:04: <NachtRuine> Saav is, shockingly enough, not currently reading over the lawbooks. Rather, he sits in front of a fireplace, perhaps in a meditation of sorts. A lawbook is right next to him, but that's beside the point.
574823:28:24: <Hippocratesi> Aeria is sitting somewhere out in the main hall, deep in that prayer stuff. Gwyn's off training soldiers, can't be slackin' on dat army.
574923:33:50: <NachtRuine> For pacing purposes, Saav finishes his daily meditations. He walks out into the hall, book in hand.
575023:34:29: <Hippocratesi> Aeria sees the man of EVIL. "Hello."
575123:36:19: <NachtRuine> The man of evil who lent his room to her. "Hello. I trust accomodations have been made for you." The non-questioning tone reminds Saav that his mask is up, and lowers it.
575223:39:30: <Hippocratesi> "Yes, they have." She stands. "What's that mask anyway, if you don't mind me asking?"
575323:41:34: <NachtRuine> He looks down on it and unfastens it from around his neck, turning it towards him. He's unused to seeing it from this angle. "It was a gift. It makes my voice monotone, as you've noticed."
575423:42:56: <Hippocratesi> "A gift?"
575523:44:22: <NachtRuine> "Yes. It's comforting to me. But I've noticed it does not comfort anyone else, so I have been attempting to keep it off when in public."
575623:46:10: <Hippocratesi> "Comforting...you don't want others seeing your face?"
575723:47:43: <NachtRuine> "You have seen my face?" It is indeed not a pretty sight.
575823:49:56: <Hippocratesi> Aeria gives a smile. "It's not exactly a sight for sore eyes but it isn't good to hide behind a mask all of your life."
575923:53:20: <NachtRuine> Saav smirks a little, but it fades quickly. "It's difficult not to when the mask was, at one point, the only thing I had."
576023:54:37: <Hippocratesi> "What was it that brought you to...serve evil?"
576123:57:07: <NachtRuine> "The gift of freedom." Saav moves his wrists around a bit, causing the distinctive sound of shackles.

5766
576700:01:04: <Hippocratesi> "I just...can't trust you fully as long as you walk that path. I hope you understand?"
576800:01:52: <Benedict> What a bitch.
576900:01:53: <viejo> Is that Qojo walking past? Oh wait, it's time for bed.
577000:02:12: <viejo> 1d20+13
577100:02:12: <Dados> Viejo, 1d20+13: 21 [1d20=8]
577200:02:26: <Hippocratesi> these low rolls
577300:02:27: <Hippocratesi> i hate dados
577400:02:28: <NachtRuine> "Completely. Just as I hope you understand I intend to go off that path when I can."
577500:02:43: <viejo> 21 is enough to frontflip past the doorway. No bonding for tonight.
577600:03:39: <Hippocratesi> "That-" She spots a small monkey woman frontflip past. "...That is Qojo, I presume?"
577700:04:54: <viejo> 1d20+13
577800:04:54: <Dados> Viejo, 1d20+13: 19 [1d20=6]
577900:05:01: <viejo> WOOOOOSH
578000:05:25: <NachtRuine> Saav did not see, as he was facing the other direction. "Judging from your expression, probably, yes. An odd one."
578100:08:09: <Hippocratesi> Aeria stares blankly at the doorway for a moment. "Erm, anyways, your hope for redemption gives me a bit more peace of mind- if that means anything to you."
578200:12:40: <NachtRuine> "We do plan to work together, for the betterment of society, so any bit helps." Saav looks over his mask. "Just out of curiosity, what would you have done if I were unabashedly evil?"
578300:14:07: <Hippocratesi> "I would have smitten you, regardless of the consequences."
578400:16:32: <NachtRuine> "I don't know why I expected anything but that conclusion."
578500:17:36: <Hippocratesi> "Thankfully, it wasn't necessary!"
578600:22:30: <NachtRuine> "Yes, thankfully. Oh, I, er, hope the books were not an issue for you to navigate. The ones in my room, that is."
578700:25:02: <Benedict> Books like: Seducing an angel, how to talk to girls, and 101 spaghetti recipes by Bert.
578800:25:40: <NachtRuine> >implying any of those books are worth the paper theyre printed on
578900:25:44: <Hippocratesi> "There was some maneuvering but I managed. I was just happy to sleep on a bed, it'd been Gods know how long." Aeria frowns at the memories of sleeping on the dry ass ground.
579000:26:20: <Benedict> Nurel liked sleeping on top of rocks and moss when he was younger ;-;
579100:26:37: <Hippocratesi> goblins don't high as standards :)
579200:26:41: <Hippocratesi> don't have
579300:26:42: <Hippocratesi> fug
579400:27:31: <NachtRuine> "Yes, I know the feeling." You know, slavery and stuff. "I am not accustomed to the softness, even now."
579500:29:20: <Hippocratesi> "If I'm not being too personal, may I ask where you're from?"
579600:31:26: <NachtRuine> "Ecclesia. Very fair city. At least, I hope it still is."
579700:32:56: <NachtRuine> "What of you?"
579800:35:16: <Hippocratesi> "I come from Braedon, a rather fantastical place- well, it /was/ anyway."
579900:37:02: <NachtRuine> "My condolences. How far from here was it?"
580000:39:17: <Hippocratesi> "It felt pretty far, coming here on foot."
580100:46:29: <NachtRuine> "Right, right." Saav spots the scar on her eye. "Might I ask where you got that scar?"
580200:50:52: <Hippocratesi> Her hand moves to touch her face, as if she'd forgotten it was even there. "Damned Orc bandit. I was cocky in my younger days and this is payment for it. I would've lost the /rest/ of my face had...a friend not pulled me away."
580300:53:23: <NachtRuine> Saav grunts with understanding. "Gotcha."
580400:54:09: <Hippocratesi> "And what of you? You were a slave?"
580500:57:35: <NachtRuine> "Yes, I was." A tinge of discomfort hits Saav's face at the word 'slave'.
580600:58:10: <Hippocratesi> "If you'd rather not talk about it, I won't pry."
580700:59:46: <NachtRuine> "No, it is fine. You are admittedly the first person to ask for details, so I was simply caught off guard."
580801:00:36: <NachtRuine> "Usually people are content with simply knowing."
580901:02:26: <Hippocratesi> "Apologies if I seem nosy- I just like to know about those I'm going to be working with."
581001:04:05: <NachtRuine> "It is fine. Ask your questions."
581101:04:23: <Hippocratesi> "Were you born into slavery?"
581201:05:13: <NachtRuine> "No. I knew a life before I was taken, which only made it more bitter."
581301:07:28: <Hippocratesi> "Well, what was that like? I imagine it was still difficult, being a half-orc."
581401:10:17: <NachtRuine> "It could've been worse. Ecclesia was a rather diverse city. There were still your racists, but every civilization has them."
581501:14:39: <Hippocratesi> "Braedon itself wasn't what I'd call diverse- it was rare to find a non-human. The Citadel was another story entirely."
581601:15:00: <Hippocratesi> "I suppose you could say I was sheltered from most racism."
581701:16:02: <NachtRuine> "Although I doubt you'd really face any. Given your appearance." He obviously refers to the angel-look.
581801:18:45: <Benedict> FLIRTING
581901:18:45: <Hippocratesi> "The opposite is not much better. You are held at much higher standards than the rest and it's difficult to to be as...perfect as others expect you to be."
582001:19:11: <Hippocratesi> "Hopefully that doesn't sound as whiny as I think it does."
582101:19:30: <Hippocratesi> MAYBE YOU SHOULD BREAK IT UP, OH KING NUREL
582201:21:46: <NachtRuine> "It does. But it is understandable. What is the Citadel?"
582301:22:42: <Benedict> Nah.
582401:23:54: <Hippocratesi> "Right, I should've explained. It is a place where aspiring paladins go to train."
582501:27:31: <NachtRuine> "Were there many like you there?"
582601:30:07: <Hippocratesi> "Aasimar? There were a few, perhaps more."
582701:30:44: <Hippocratesi> "Were there many half-orcs in Eccelsia?"
582801:32:26: <NachtRuine> "There were enough. Not quite as many as straight humans, for certain."
582901:35:21: <Hippocratesi> "So...this settlement. How big do you and your allies intend to make it?"
583001:39:38: <NachtRuine> "As big as it needs to be. Of course, how it expands is no longer part of my jurisdiction. You may wish to speak to Nurel, the goblin, about that."
583101:42:53: <Hippocratesi> "I suppose I'll do so when I see him next." Aeria sways a bit, thinking of something. "Seems I'm running out of things to talk about."
583201:44:43: <NachtRuine> "Do you desire to stop speaking? Or do you desire to find new things to speak of?"
583301:45:26: <Hippocratesi> "I've nothing else to do, I don't mind speaking for a while longer."
583401:47:33: <NachtRuine> Saav stands up. "Then would you like to take a walk with me? Get the mind jogging?"
583501:48:29: <Hippocratesi> Aeria blinks a few times. "Uh, sure. That'll be fine."
583601:50:36: <Benedict> CAAAAAN YOU FEEL, THE LOOOOOVE TONIGHT
583701:50:45: <NachtRuine> "I find that new scenery does wonders for thought and clearing the clutter of the mind. Useful for when you've been awake for a couple of days, reading."
583801:51:33: <Hippocratesi> "From what I saw of your books, you're quite the lawman."
583901:54:16: <NachtRuine> "Yes, although my attempts to shove the town's laws and codes into my head have gotten nowhere."
584001:55:48: <Hippocratesi> "There is more to it than simply reading them. It will come to you eventually, I'm sure!"
584102:01:53: <NachtRuine> "Yes, I certainly hope so. Staying awake for tens of hours at a time is not healthy. Not to mention a good way to get rid of all of my candles."
584202:03:28: <Hippocratesi> "Things you've learned are more likely to stay with you if get you proper rest. It's what my mentor taught me."
584302:09:31: <NachtRuine> "I will... Keep that in mind."
584402:13:10: <NachtRuine> "What of you? What is your passion?"
584502:14:29: <Hippocratesi> "I hope to become a living example of Good to the people of the wastelands. I want to give the hopeless hope."
584602:14:56: <Hippocratesi> "My Goddess shares the same goal."
584702:15:52: <NachtRuine> "A big goal."
584802:16:13: <Goatwright> Waakanti is around for whatever.
584902:16:18: <Goatwright> He's carving his soap.
585002:17:45: <Hippocratesi> "And I believe I can achieve it. If I fail, then perhaps others will take my place? Time will tell."
585102:20:35: <NachtRuine> Saav nods in understanding. The two happen to walk past Waakanti. "Hello giant. How goes your craft?"
585202:23:37: <Goatwright> "Poor. I am not an artisan."
585302:23:48: <Goatwright> He presents his crudely made statue of a bald, bearded dwarf in heavy armor.
585402:24:40: <Hippocratesi> "It's...quite nice."
585502:24:50: <Goatwright> "You do not need to lie to me."
585602:25:51: <NachtRuine> "It is better than that of someone who doesn't try. Keep at it."
585702:26:57: <Goatwright> "I appreciate your words, nonetheless." He sets the statue down somewhere. "What are you and our new resident doing?"
585802:28:39: <NachtRuine> "Talking whilst walking."
585902:29:47: <Hippocratesi> "There is not much else to do, it's a quiet day."
586002:31:23: <Goatwright> "I shall join you." He nods.
586102:31:38: <Goatwright> "I have yet to make myself very known. Now may be decent time."
586202:32:42: <Hippocratesi> "It's occurred to me that I never learned your name." She looks up at the giant.
586302:33:06: <Goatwright> "Neither have they."
586402:34:06: <NachtRuine> "It's a cultural thing. I simply refer to him as 'giant'. It does the job."
586502:34:35: <Goatwright> "I have received 'Nikli' and 'Nko' as temporary titles."
586602:35:52: <Hippocratesi> "Nikli. I like that."
586702:35:52: <NachtRuine> Saav snaps his fingers. "I'd forgotten about those. I will make it an effort to use them."
586802:39:41: <Goatwright> "You may use them if you desire. They are for your convenience."
586902:40:57: <Hippocratesi> "So what of you, Nikli? What brought you are?"
587002:42:40: <Goatwright> "A quest to avenge my people and return me to what I once was."
587102:42:54: <Goatwright> "I have a desire to eat that who caused this grave misfortune."
587202:43:26: <Hippocratesi> "Erm.../eat/ them?"
587302:49:00: <NachtRuine> "Yes, eat them. Don't know why, but that's his plan."
587402:55:06: <Goatwright> "
587502:55:09: <Goatwright> "Eat them."
587602:55:37: <Goatwright> "It is a tradition to eat your enemies among my people. I believe humans have stories of giants eating their children. This is not far from the truth."
587702:55:48: <Goatwright> Waakanti pulls back his lower lip, showing his fierce gnashers.
587802:58:44: <Hippocratesi> "That's, um..." She clears her throat. "So you are the only survivor of your tribe?"
587902:59:01: <Goatwright> "There are few others, but we are scattered, now."
588003:00:16: <NachtRuine> Saav begins to notice a trend in his compatriots' histories.
588103:02:57: <Hippocratesi> "It's good that you're lucky enough to have family left, as few as they are."
588203:03:13: <Hippocratesi> "Most aren't so fortunate."
588303:04:52: <NachtRuine> Saav simply nods in agreement.
588403:07:00: <Goatwright> "I hope they are still alive as we speak, at least."
588503:07:03: <Goatwright> Waakanti frowns somewhat.
588603:07:24: <Hippocratesi> "Have you tried finding them?"
588703:09:28: <Goatwright> He shakes his head. "We scattered after our deaths."
588803:09:47: <Goatwright> "Either they succumbed to the wastes or joined other tribes, I would have me believe."
588903:11:27: <NachtRuine> "So why had you not joined another tribe by the time we met?"
589003:12:23: <Goatwright> "I had a tribe, and they are gone. I do not desire another."
589103:12:59: <Goatwright> "They haunt me now, and I could not do this to them, their..." He tries to think of a word, but fails to. "[Vessel]," he states in Giantish.
589203:13:12: <Goatwright> "Instead I must avenge them so that they may rest well, and so I may join them."
589303:14:16: <Hippocratesi> "Well, it is a noble goal I must say."
589403:15:22: <Goatwright> "Thank you much, glowing one." He bows somewhat formally. "What of you?"
589503:18:24: <Hippocratesi> "As I told Saavou on the way here I want to give the people of the wasteland hope, to be a living example of Good."
589603:18:52: <Hippocratesi> "Maybe I can convince others to become paladins."
589703:22:34: <Goatwright> "Why must they become paladins?"
589803:23:45: <Hippocratesi> "It's not exactly a requirement."
589903:24:15: <Hippocratesi> "But it would be nice if my influence drove them down that path."
590003:25:21: <NachtRuine> "Would you not consider convincing others to take up shamanism, gi - Nikli?"
590103:28:14: <Goatwright> "I would not. It is sacred, and.. people-specific."
590203:28:29: <Goatwright> "Not all are drawn by their people, such as you. Just like not all are drawn by faith."
590303:29:41: <NachtRuine> "Fair enough."
590403:32:40: <Benedict> If Nikli wanted to carve soap, he should have asked a dwarf for help.
590503:34:29: <Goatwright> Too bad all the dwarves he's met have sucked.
590603:34:44: <Hippocratesi> All dwarves suck
590703:49:22: <Benedict> 1d20+5 A random dwarf in town starts soap-carving.
590803:49:22: <Dados> Benedict, A random dwarf in town starts soap-carving.: 7 [1d20=2]
590903:49:31: <Benedict> He sucks at it. But better than Waak.
591003:49:37: <NachtRuine> "Nikli, what've you been doing other than soap carving?"
591103:50:24: <Goatwright> He shrugs somewhat.
591203:52:56: <NachtRuine> "Is, is that the only thing that you've done?" Saav imagines soap carving for several days, and is oddly put off by it.
591303:54:30: <Goatwright> "Of course not. But I am unsure of what I must do. I understand my new role, but the need is not yet apparent."
591404:01:36: <NachtRuine> "Right, right. Well, I suppose the need has yet to come. Haven't heard about any religious or ideological arguments in the people."

592021:36:04: <Rainglove> YOU ARE IN IT
592121:36:05: <Rainglove> AMAZING
592221:36:26: <Rainglove> LOOK AT ALL THE STARTING THE CAMPAIGN IS DOING
592321:36:32: <Benedict> Nurel was too busy doing KING THINGS and that is why he did no soft RP, punks.
592421:36:55: <NachtRuine> Saav had already been doing so much Marshal work BEFORE he was even Marshal, so that's why he could laze about.
592521:37:15: <viejo> Qojo was busy embracing his feminity.
592621:37:34: <Benedict> Nurel passed a law banning transgendered people from his kingdom.
592721:38:21: <Hippocratesi> Aeria is praying.
592821:38:25: <Hippocratesi> Gwyn is training SOLDIERS.
592921:38:38: <Benedict> Nurel declares today penis inspection day. Does Qojo have enough PENIS to get examined?
593021:38:43: <NachtRuine> Saav is not doing the job he did several days ago.
593121:38:49: <viejo> Qojo is collecting vials of Aeria's pure sweat. Just kidding, she's getting limber.
593221:38:52: <Rainglove> how absolutely PIOUS
593321:40:40: <Benedict> Nurel wishes he could replace all of these assholes with goblins.
593421:40:52: <Goatwright> Waakanti APPEARS.
593521:41:07: <Goatwright> He is outside talking to people about their religious woes.
593621:41:11: <Goatwright> He has not looked for his rock bandit.
593721:41:12: <Goatwright> YET.
593821:41:32: <Benedict> Nurel has declared bandit and rock unions illegal.
593921:42:04: <viejo> BASED
594021:46:26: <viejo> TO THE TOWN
594121:46:41: <Benedict> Nurel looks over some notes and he realizes something. Didn't Tolay want to make trade with some shitty town in the north? He makes this thought known to the others in the town hall.
594221:46:58: <Rainglove> nurel's mental PA announces this to everyone
594321:46:58: <viejo> Wow, what a great idea! OFF THEY GO.
594421:47:18: <NachtRuine> Everyone is prepared and ready to go, because magic!
594521:47:29: <viejo> Qojo likes his status on Facebook,.
594621:50:20: <NachtRuine> "When we reach the northern town, we will meet with the leaders and discuss possible trade, perhaps any issues they might need our assistance with?"
594721:50:32: <viejo> "Sounds good to me, let's get goin' already!"
594821:50:49: <Benedict> "We did that with another town, so let's not make any promises."
594921:51:14: <NachtRuine> "Of course." And off they go!
595021:51:24: <viejo> "Maybe it'll be different this time? Chin up!" Wow Qojo sure is a lovely dainty hairy monkey fuck.
595121:52:37: <Rainglove> ON THE OPEN ROOOOOOOOOAD
595221:53:10: <Goatwright> Waakanti is riding along in his camel-drawn carriage.
595321:53:13: <Goatwright> Maybe people are in it with him.
595421:53:15: <Goatwright> Who knows!
595521:53:29: <Rainglove> if it's the same carriage you were all in day one
595621:53:31: <Rainglove> probably
595721:53:34: <Rainglove> INTO THE PASS

596921:55:23: <Benedict> Nurel lost his nose.
597021:55:28: <Goatwright> Waakanti found it for him.
597121:55:35: <viejo> It was in his ass.
597221:55:35: <Benedict> Thank you, Waak.

597521:59:49: <Rainglove> Every now and then you catch glimpses of people moving over the ridges of mountains. You know nearly all of Rotter's guys left, so it isn't them. Waakanti and Saav can make out that they seem to be fairly well equipped, whoever they are. Definitely not just wandering around or starving up here.
597622:00:56: <viejo> gosp
597722:01:00: <Goatwright> Waakanti turns to look at his bros in the back. "There are men along the ridges."
597822:01:15: <Rainglove> qojo almost has to will save against a stroke
597922:01:16: <Rainglove> almost
598022:01:18: <NachtRuine> "More bandits?"
598122:01:33: <Benedict> Nurel was too busy looking at a rabbit that, for some reason, had a pancake on its head.
598222:01:59: <viejo> Qojo suppresses a queef with her impressive vaginal muscles and training from her father.
598322:02:31: <viejo> "They look like they're ready to fight. What do you guys make of that?"
598422:03:01: <Benedict> Nurel puts Qojo back in her pokeball.
598522:03:10: <NachtRuine> "If they desire a fight, it is their unmarked grave."
598622:03:17: <Goatwright> "Shall we call up to them?"
598722:03:22: <Rainglove> Saav gains +2 edge
598822:03:36: <viejo> Qojo! Qojo!
598922:03:46: <Benedict> Nothing personel kid
599022:03:52: <viejo> Qojo is evolving into... Qojanna! The sex op was successful! DOO DOO DOO... DODODODODO
599122:04:30: <Rainglove> so uh
599222:04:32: <Benedict> "Do so."
599322:04:39: <Rainglove> these are some epic memes but what do you do
599422:04:54: <NachtRuine> "They may very likely see us regardless. It is your call."
599522:05:03: <Goatwright> Waakanti sits up a bit and bellows in his big giant voice.
599622:05:11: <Goatwright> "/WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOES THEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERE?/"
599722:05:22: <viejo> "Jee."
599822:06:49: <NachtRuine> "That oughta get their attention if anything."
599922:07:36: <Rainglove> You stop seeing people
600022:07:42: <viejo> 1d20+13 SUDDEN STEALTH
600122:07:42: <Dados> Viejo, SUDDEN STEALTH: 15 [1d20=2]
600222:08:00: <Rainglove> well you can't auto-fail skill checks but uh
600322:08:04: <Rainglove> you auto-failed that one
600422:08:14: <viejo> This bunny will make for an excellent piece of cover!
600522:08:21: <Benedict> Nurel wonders what it's like to kiss a gril, and then tries stealth.
600622:08:22: <Benedict> 1d20+13
600722:08:22: <Dados> Benedict, 1d20+13: 20 [1d20=7]
600822:08:35: <Goatwright> Waakanti cannot stealth as he is driving a cart.
600922:08:51: <Goatwright> But he readies a spell, just in case.
601022:08:53: <Rainglove> he could try
601122:08:57: <NachtRuine> 1d20+7 Saav is stealthy too
601222:08:57: <Dados> NachtRuine, Saav is stealthy too: 25 [1d20=18]
601322:09:02: <viejo> does anyone want to
601422:09:03: <viejo> detect magic
601522:09:10: <Goatwright> on
601622:09:11: <Goatwright> what?
601722:09:13: <Benedict> Does anyone want to guess what gender Qojo is this week?
601822:10:29: <Rainglove> well you tried stealthing
601922:10:31: <Rainglove> good job
602022:10:45: <Rainglove> what do you /do/
602122:11:09: <NachtRuine> Saav detects magic-o's
602222:11:09: <viejo> Can I roll any kind of knowledge about people who disappear?
602322:11:16: <Goatwright> what would we even detect magic on
602422:11:30: <Goatwright> the guys dozens of meters away?
602522:11:53: <NachtRuine> to see if they disappeared with magicks
602622:11:59: <Benedict> "We come in peace." Fuck detect magic.
602722:13:00: <Goatwright> WELL.
602822:13:03: <Goatwright> WE CONTINUE ALONG I GUESS.
602922:13:18: <Rainglove> fuck the mountains
603022:13:20: <Rainglove> on to the town
603122:13:53: <Benedict> Nurel has 0 idea of what just happened.
603222:13:59: <NachtRuine> "That was odd."
603322:14:25: <Rainglove> dumdeedum town comes into view wow looks about on par with where yours is at the moment, though with more of a focus on walls and such
603422:14:39: <Rainglove> defensive shit
603522:15:01: <viejo> 1d20+12 perception to see if ANYONE FOLLOWED US
603622:15:01: <Dados> Viejo, perception to see if ANYONE FOLLOWED US: 21 [1d20=9]
603722:15:12: <Rainglove> There are a few people who seem to be soldiers waiting on the road watching for you
603822:15:18: <Rainglove> WOOOOOW METAGAMING MUCH HOW WOULD QOJO KNOW
603922:15:49: <Rainglove> don't see shit
604022:16:07: <Rainglove> the bunny followed you
604122:16:16: <Rainglove> hopping along merrily behind waakanti
604222:16:17: <viejo> Qojo squats down and pats the bunny on the head.
604322:16:22: <Rainglove> as bunnies do
604422:16:25: <viejo> Tenderly.
604522:16:26: <viejo> Almost
604622:16:28: <viejo> TOO tenderly
604722:16:38: <Goatwright> Waakanti drives them OVER TO THE TOWN.
604822:16:40: <Goatwright> AND THEY STOP.
604922:16:42: <Goatwright> AND HE DISMOUNTS.
605022:17:15: <NachtRuine> "Their town appears well defended. How goes the progress on our own walls?"
605122:17:28: <Benedict> You tell me, Rain.
605222:17:31: <Rainglove> mostly finished
605322:17:47: <Benedict> Yeah, that, Waak.
605422:17:50: <Rainglove> the bunny is patted
605522:17:50: <Hippocratesi> Would it be pointless to use Detect Evil?
605622:17:56: <Goatwright> How would Waakanti know that?
605722:17:58: <Rainglove> on the town?
605822:18:04: <Benedict> DETECT EVIL: BUNNY
605922:18:14: <Hippocratesi> whoever's around we don't know, I guess
606022:18:16: <Rainglove> nigga that's a rabbit
606122:18:27: <Benedict> DETECT EVIL: RABBIT
606222:18:43: <Benedict> IT'S FUCKING CATH'PAZ IN MORTAL FORM
606322:18:47: <Rainglove> it's actually that demon guy from the other day but super in disguise
606422:18:47: <viejo> 1d20+11 Sense motive. What are its intentions?
606522:18:47: <Dados> Viejo, Sense motive. What are its intentions?: 20 [1d20=9]
606622:18:53: <Rainglove> it's a rabbit
606722:18:56: <Hippocratesi> or the soldiers
606822:19:00: <Rainglove> it wants carrots and pats and hops
606922:19:01: <Hippocratesi> weren't there soldiers
607022:19:05: <Rainglove> YES
607122:19:08: <Rainglove> yes there are
607222:19:09: <viejo> ANYWAY, is there any noticeable guardpost or people stationed?
607322:19:14: <Rainglove> YES
607422:19:17: <Rainglove> yes there are
607522:19:22: <Hippocratesi> Can I
607622:19:24: <Hippocratesi> detect evil
607722:19:25: <Hippocratesi> on them?
607822:19:25: <NachtRuine> "Hail, soldiers!"
607922:19:25: <Rainglove> they are standing on the road watching you approach
608022:19:26: <Benedict> Nurel will adopt that rabbit later. The official symbol of the Republic-Monarchy of Novit.
608122:19:31: <Rainglove> no hippo of course not
608222:19:32: <Rainglove> yes you can
608322:19:46: <Hippocratesi> I cast it then
608422:19:49: <Goatwright> goddammit
608522:19:54: <Rainglove> One of them waves back to Saav. "What's your business?"
608622:20:02: <Rainglove> no evil m8
608722:20:11: <Hippocratesi> oh
608822:20:52: <NachtRuine> "We come from the town to the south to discuss trade with your leaders."
608922:21:49: <Rainglove> The man seems rather surprised. "Trade?"
609022:22:20: <Benedict> "An exchange of goods for goods."
609122:22:46: <Hippocratesi> "May we enter the town?"
609222:24:36: <Rainglove> The man looks back towards the gate, then nods to Aeria. "Certainly. Please don't cause any trouble while you're hree."
609322:24:40: <Rainglove> Gate oooooopeeeeeeens
609422:25:27: <Benedict> Obviously we need to know if there are any goblins in this town.
609522:26:04: <Rainglove> The buildings in the town are constructed in a similar style as the ones in your own, and built of similar-looking stone. The people seem to be doing alright, not immediately obvious whether it's better or worse than yours are.
609622:26:04: <viejo> What's the town like?
609722:26:13: <Rainglove> inb4 YOU faggot
609822:26:43: <Goatsmith> "This must also be a town of dwarves."
609922:27:04: <Benedict> Judging by the similar fucking style... Nurel asks the first random townsperson he sees. "Dwarven town?"
610022:27:10: <NachtRuine> "Very likely. They may not receive us warmly given our actions."
610122:28:39: <Rainglove> You get a random yes
610222:29:15: <Benedict> Of course. "What kingdom are these dwarves from?"
610322:29:51: <Rainglove> random point towards the mountains
610422:30:05: <Benedict> The same mountains that are probably haunted by undead?
610522:30:38: <Rainglove> the very same
610622:30:58: <Benedict> Of course. "<How the hell did so many damn dwarves survive?>"
610722:31:33: <NachtRuine> "Let us go. The town hall will likely look familiar as well."
610822:31:45: <viejo> Let's go talk to someone of importance.
610922:31:48: <Goatsmith> Waakanti looks around for it.
611022:32:06: <Dados> Hippocratesi, where could it be?: 11 [1d20=4]
611122:32:06: <Hippocratesi> 1d20+7 where could it be?
611222:32:14: <Hippocratesi> Where did my breasts go?
611322:32:31: <Rainglove> goddamnit you whore put them back
611422:32:33: <Benedict> How do you misplace something so huge? To the town hall, KING Nurel goes.
611522:32:40: <Rainglove> nobody bows
611622:33:00: <Benedict> Assholes.
611722:33:25: <Rainglove> but you get somewhere around there eventually through more random directions
611822:33:52: <Hippocratesi> Is it more impressive than ours?
611922:34:07: <Benedict> They're leading us in circles! And then Nurel remembers the important questions, like, "What is this place called?"
612022:34:09: <Rainglove> yours is definitely nicer looking
612122:34:16: <Hippocratesi> Yes.
612222:34:17: <Hippocratesi> Good.
612322:34:21: <Rainglove> Valkas, bennay
612422:34:24: <NachtRuine> All is according to keikaku.
612522:34:58: <Goatsmith> Waakanti goes in!
612622:35:05: <Benedict> Nurel wanted to go in first, but okay.
612722:35:14: <Rainglove> the king's herald enters
612822:35:15: <NachtRuine> Saav goes in as well.
612922:35:16: <Hippocratesi> Aeria goes in!
613022:35:27: <Rainglove> and all the other heralds and assorted squires
613122:35:37: <viejo> Qojo the COUNCILLOR goes in.
613222:35:39: <Rainglove> peasants
613322:36:54: <Goatsmith> WHERE ARE THE BIG SHOTS?
613422:37:11: <Hippocratesi> that's us, retard
613522:37:23: <Rainglove> The small shots are in there
613622:37:51: <Rainglove> A, shocker, dwarf comes over to you. "I'm uh, not sure who you are. Do you need some kind of assistance?"
613722:37:57: <Benedict> Quick, let's look for Tolay's twin brother who founded the northern town.
613822:38:00: <Benedict> 1d20+8
613922:38:00: <Dados> Benedict, 1d20+8: 16 [1d20=8]
614022:38:15: <Goatsmith> "We are leaders of the town over."
614122:38:25: <Hippocratesi> "We've come to discuss a trade agreement."
614222:39:20: <Rainglove> He seems confused for a moment. "Leaders? What of Tolay?"
614322:39:40: <Goatsmith> "The town wished to replace him."
614422:39:43: <viejo> "Tolay stepped down. He was a rotten apple."
614522:40:15: <Benedict> Nurel covers his face with his hand. "<I don't remember making these two -diplomats-.>"
614622:40:43: <NachtRuine> Well the only diplomat is the only one who doesn't know who Tolay is.
614722:43:54: <Rainglove> Well that was not a terribly polite thing to say. The dwarf seems rather angry at that. "And now you want to start 'trade'? After starting a rebellion against my comrade?"
614822:44:38: <Goatsmith> Maybe you should detect evil on THIS guy.
614922:44:38: <Benedict> "A rebellion is the wrong word when he peacefully steps down and continues to live within the town to trade."
615022:44:43: <Benedict> DETECT EVIL
615122:44:47: <Hippocratesi> 1d20+13 "We /had/ no intentions of starting trouble. Could hear us out at least?"
615222:44:47: <Dados> Hippocratesi, "We /had/ no intentions of starting trouble. Could hear us out at least?": 25 [1d20=12]
615322:44:58: <NachtRuine> Saav, unlike the giant and the loudmouth, keeps his mouth shut since he's not a diplomatic person.
615422:45:12: <Benedict> This is why Saav is Nurel's friend. Everyone else is DUMB.
615522:45:31: <Goatsmith> Holy shit Waakanti wasn't the one who INSULTED Tolay
615622:45:39: <Hippocratesi> maybe if they like each other so much, they should get married.
615722:45:43: <Goatsmith> He was stating FACTS.
615822:45:45: <Benedict> He insulted him by still living.
615922:47:14: <Rainglove> no evil brah
616022:48:54: <Rainglove> The dwarf is still rather pissed, but he doesn't start axing you serious questions. "Be quick, whatever you have to say. An explanation would be an excellent starting point."
616122:50:10: <Hippocratesi> NUREL EXPLAIN
616222:51:57: <Benedict> "The town itself was not happy with Tolay. The guards were underpaid, the mages oppressed, and funds for construction of the wall around our town stolen for his personal fund. We're trying to change the mistakes Tolay made, and would like to open trade with your town. We got plenty of food production, if you need food." Thank you, GMO products.
616322:52:39: <Benedict> 1d20+10 Shut up, Viejo, now I'll fail because of you
616422:52:39: <Dados> Benedict, Shut up, Viejo, now I'll fail because of you: 13 [1d20=3]
616522:52:41: <Benedict> SEE?:
616622:52:52: <Benedict> I demand a free reroll because viejo is a cunt
616722:53:42: <Benedict> Wait. Can Nacht use that law spell and change that to a 21?
616822:53:51: <Rainglove> you're a bit late there
616922:53:57: <Benedict> I am never late.
617022:54:03: <Rainglove> today you are
617122:54:09: <Hippocratesi> but muh 25
617222:57:50: <Rainglove> The dwarf doesn't like your excuses. "Why was no notice sent to me about this? And now you have the nerve to come and beg for me to recognize your authority?"
617322:58:57: <viejo> "Beg? Pfffftttt"
617422:59:09: <Benedict> "Because we didn't know about the relation between this town and our town? Tolay only mentioned that he wanted to open a path here, not that you were communicating." Nurel pinches Qojo. Shut the -fuck- up!
617522:59:33: <viejo> OPPRESSION
617623:08:02: <Rainglove> The dude continues being buttblasted. "Your ape needs to learn its place. You have come into my home, told me you have deposed my ally, and have the nerve to claim that you didn't know about my existence?"
617723:08:14: <Rainglove> you probably don't have terribly long before he grabs the fire axe
617823:09:11: <Benedict> "Please do not call Qojo an ape." Nurel asks kindly and then USE THAT 30 WITH A +4 FROM HERO POINT. "We did not know of your existence, and I apologize for how long it took for us to contact you."
617923:09:21: <Hippocratesi> "We've tried to be peaceful but you aren't giving us much reason to tolerate you any longer."
618023:09:43: <viejo> +2 FROM SAAVOU'S SPELL THING
618123:09:45: <Benedict> Nurel just doesn't know why he tries anymore.
618223:09:46: <viejo> SURE THAT HAPPENED
618323:12:45: <Rainglove> Some kind of miniature diplomacy explosion happens as the dwarf both likes you more and hates you more at the same time. In the end he still seems displeased by your presence. "Just tell me what you came for. With fewer interruptions, this time." He looks at Qojo.
618423:13:39: <Benedict> "To start a trade agreement. What does your town need?"
618523:13:46: <viejo> Qojo smiles at the dwarf, but internally she's thinking "u wot m8 il fukken knok u out cold bruv sware on me mam il fokkin kil u m8"
618623:14:35: <Rainglove> "... You mentioned food?" He clearly doesn't like admitting he might need anything.
618723:15:07: <Benedict> "Food. We grow plenty thanks to one of my little creations. Wide variety, too."
618823:15:24: <Hippocratesi> "What can you give us in return?"
618923:17:55: <Rainglove> "We produce high quality magical artifacts. Our mages are unmatched."
619023:18:22: <Benedict> "Do you have many mages who are capable of teaching?"
619123:18:57: <Rainglove> "We like to hang on to what we have."
619223:19:31: <Benedict> "Of course. We could trade food for artifacts, then, if you find that agreeable?"
619323:19:47: <Goatsmith> Mages!
619423:19:58: <Goatsmith> Waakanti's internal alarms go off.
619523:20:23: <Goatsmith> He leans far down to whisper to the lil goblin. "I wish to speak with these mages."
619623:20:42: <Rainglove> he seems pained, but nods. "I can accept that agreement, for now."
619723:21:41: <Benedict> Nurel nods, then points to his GIANT FRIEND. "For now. Perhaps the two of us will find more to trade with each other in the future?" The goblin continues to TRY THAT DIPLOMACY, then points to Waak. "May my friend talk to the mages you have in town?"
619823:22:00: <Benedict> Points twice.
619923:22:03: <Benedict> Both hands.
620023:22:10: <Benedict> Gotta make sure the dwarf really LOOKS at Waak.
620123:22:26: <NachtRuine> It's kinda hard not to. Giant, and all.
620223:22:30: <Goatsmith> Waakanti tries to look.. idunno, scary?
620323:22:34: <Goatsmith> Maybe he grrs.
620423:22:38: <Rainglove> The dwarf looks. He seems unimpressed. "One of my guards will show you to them."
620523:22:53: <Goatsmith> Waakanti is hurt inside.
620623:22:59: <Benedict> "Thank you. My name is Nurel. May we have yours?"
620723:23:09: <Benedict> DIPLOMACY COMPLETE.
620823:23:59: <Rainglove> "My name is Layos. Don't feel as though you must speak with me personally, should you need to send word to me a messenger will suffice." He gestures towards a nearby doorway and the aforementioned guard appears.
620923:24:31: <Benedict> Mad rude.
621023:24:39: <Rainglove> Dwarfy turns and walks off as guardman approaches.
621123:24:52: <Rainglove> Guardman walks past you and opens the door, waiting.
621223:24:59: <Rainglove> You divine types get the evil tinglies.
621323:25:07: <Benedict> Mad nasty.
621423:25:09: <Hippocratesi> DETECT
621523:25:11: <Hippocratesi> EVIL

621823:25:46: <NachtRuine> Saav shivers with the feeling of evil.
621923:25:51: <Rainglove> mm bb
622023:25:54: <Hippocratesi> Aeria shudders and stares daggers at the guard.
622123:26:12: <NachtRuine> 1d20+14 snsmot
622223:26:12: <Dados> NachtRuine, snsmot: 20 [1d20=6]
622323:27:54: <Rainglove> Guardman is out the door and walking. Better follow, faggots
622423:28:00: <Rainglove> He doesn't seem overtly hostile, saav
622523:29:25: <Hippocratesi> Aeria follows, trying to condense her paladin tantrum.
622623:29:46: <NachtRuine> Saav follows, but keeps his distance. He whispers to the group, "I know I am not the only one who felt the evil, but he does not seem hostile. Stay on guard just in case."
622723:30:31: <Hippocratesi> "I won't let him out of my sight."
622823:30:43: <Benedict> "Of course I felt it, but we'll get no where if we start sniffing his armpits for evil." Nurel whispers.
622923:31:39: <Benedict> "I'd also like to make the request that when it comes to diplomatic matters, like trade, only myself or the diplomat should talk."
623023:33:00: <NachtRuine> "Agreed. I know I am not a diplomat, hence my silence. It is preferable that the others follow suit. We barely succeeded as a result of our opening insult."
623123:35:20: <Hippocratesi> "I agree as well, I felt he was close to attacking us at one point."
623223:35:57: <Benedict> "Probably was."
623323:36:21: <Goatsmith> "I said nothing wrong."
623423:37:13: <Hippocratesi> "It may not have been wrong, but I doubt he wanted to hear it."
623523:37:42: <NachtRuine> "Incorrectness does not excuse impoliteness in diplomacy."
623623:38:57: <viejo> "I, er, probably wasn't that helpful then. It's just HARD not to say what I'm thinkin'."
623723:39:07: <viejo> Hard like her phantom benis. ;DDD
623823:41:27: <Goatsmith> "The diplomat's comment was not particularly diplomatic."
623923:41:38: <Goatsmith> Waakanti is just sayin'
624023:41:43: <Hippocratesi> "You're both fine, just leave it to us next time. I can understand the difficulty of holding your tongue."
624123:42:04: <viejo> Qojo smiles. "I'll try better next time Madam Aeria."
624223:43:02: <Benedict> Nurel can feel the love tonight.
624323:43:50: <NachtRuine> Oh Lord. "What is our plan with the magical artifacts?"
624423:44:40: <Benedict> "Have our mages look at them. Beyond that, I've no idea. We'll ask our magister."
624523:45:44: <NachtRuine> He nods. "And what will we do upon meeting the mages here?"
624623:47:06: <Benedict> Nurel shrugs. "Waak wished to speak to them. Ask him."
624723:47:20: <Goatsmith> "It is for personal reasons, I am afraid."
624823:49:04: <NachtRuine> "Hm. Is that all we will do while we are here?"
624923:50:00: <Goatsmith> "You may want to acquaint yourself with the locals."
625023:50:39: <viejo> "Doesn't seem like we're gonna be getting anywhere with the town leader any time soon."
625123:51:44: <Hippocratesi> "We've at least gotten a trade agreement, that's a start."
625223:52:33: <NachtRuine> "I do wish I'd remembered to ask if either of the diplomats desired my assistance. Not necessarily directly, but by enchantment."
625323:53:12: <Benedict> "I probably could have used it the first time. I might have sounded more insulting than I intended. I did not like how he held himself above us."
625423:54:26: <NachtRuine> "I apologize for having not brought up the opportunity. It appears we are at a working relationship: we may not like each other, but we are useful to that regard."
625523:56:17: <NachtRuine> "Hopefully we may amend the former part."
625623:59:23: <Benedict> "The food is needed, so it will make the people here more receptive to us. We can send letters from time to time to see if he needs any help for his town. It makes him like us, and it gives us a stronger position to create more trade."

6259
626000:39:49: <Benedict> Herp
626100:48:46: <Rainglove> BAM ZOOM STRAIGHT TO THE MAGE HOUSE
626200:49:09: <Benedict> Who cares about mages?
626300:49:23: <Rainglove> Evil guard slams on the door and steps back, and a few minutes later a nervous looking man appears. "H-Hello?"
626400:50:26: <Benedict> Wow, that guard is probably a jerk to the mages.
626500:50:30: <Goatsmith> "Are you a mage?"
626600:50:33: <NachtRuine> Why are all head mages so nervous? Why is everyone in power nervous?
626700:51:02: <Benedict> Nurel rubs his hands, he ain't nervous.
626800:51:17: <Rainglove> a chorus of DESU DESU sounds in his ears
626900:51:42: <Rainglove> The man nods, staying firmly behind his door. "Do you require my services?"
627000:52:29: <Benedict> Nurel points twice to the giant that wanted to talk to the mages.
627100:52:38: <Goatsmith> "I do, yes."
627200:53:29: <Rainglove> He waits
627300:54:03: <Goatsmith> "I have an ailment, which I would like consultation on."
627400:54:21: <Goatsmith> "Before we go into it, I believe we should introduce ourselves."
627500:54:55: <Rainglove> He continues waiting
627600:56:32: <Goatsmith> "We are the new leaders of the town over." He gestures to the CREW.
627700:57:23: <Benedict> Nurel is obviously the KING.
627800:58:19: <Rainglove> The mage raises an eyebrow, half-asks a question, glances over at the guard, and stops. "Right. I'm a uh, local artifact creator."
627900:59:00: <Hippocratesi> 1d20+7 SENSE MOTIVE
628000:59:00: <Dados> Hippocratesi, SENSE MOTIVE: 21 [1d20=14]
628100:59:56: <Rainglove> He's scurred of the guard ya dummy
628201:00:26: <Goatsmith> "Would we be able to talk anywhere more private? I feel this ailment is... personal."
628301:00:33: <Benedict> Nurel tries his luck with mage knowing Goblin and the guard not knowing Goblin. "<Why are you nervous?>"
628401:00:35: <Goatsmith> d-do I gotta roll bluff
628501:00:51: <Hippocratesi> what exactly are you bluffing
628601:00:57: <Benedict> Himself.
628701:01:36: <Goatsmith> His ailment isn't private
628801:01:48: <Goatsmith> he is LYING FOR MOTIVES OF PRIVACY
628901:01:53: <Rainglove> he wants people to think he has herpes
629001:02:17: <Goatsmith> Totally
629101:02:24: <Rainglove> The mage shakes his head. "I think, uh, not right now, no."
629201:03:41: <Goatsmith> Waakanti frowns.
629301:04:29: <Goatsmith> He peaks in to look at the guard.
629401:04:39: <Goatsmith> peeks even
629501:05:07: <Rainglove> The guard is standing outside in plain view of all of you
629601:05:12: <Rainglove> he's just standing arounf
629701:05:14: <Rainglove> being a guard
629801:05:23: <NachtRuine> An EVIL guard
629901:07:18: <Goatsmith> "..Do you know other tongues?" He says under his breath, still glancing at the EYVAIL guard.
630001:09:02: <Rainglove> He shakes his head veeeery slightly. It seems like less of an 'I dunno' and more of a 'not right now'. "I'm afraid we'll have to discuss any problems out here."
630101:10:58: <Goatsmith> "Right. Well," seeing as how Waakanti knows he can't lie very well, he just goes for duh TRUTH. "I was formerly twice my height, and some sort of affliction caused by an artifact I believe to be linked with your land's disaster."
630201:11:07: <Goatsmith> +caused it
630301:11:26: <Goatsmith> "Your leader says you are quite trained. Perhaps you can help."
630401:12:21: <viejo> "Want to explore the town a bit?" Qojo looks towards Aeria.
630501:12:49: <Rainglove> He drums his fingers on the door. "Perhaps I can help, yes."
630601:13:31: <Hippocratesi> "[This guard does not give me a good feeling but...I suppose the others can handle whatever comes. Sure, I'll walk.]"
630701:14:59: <Goatsmith> He continues to glance at this guard. "Would another time be easier, however?"
630801:15:06: <viejo> "[May as well investigate! Besides, seems I'm not suited to talking. It is so nice to engage in this language, however. It's been a long time.]"
630901:15:15: <viejo> Qojo trots on out with Aeria.
631001:15:22: <viejo> wos in dis fuggen town den
631101:15:22: <Rainglove> The guard has clearly noticed waakanti's starig and fails to give a shit.
631201:15:46: <Rainglove> perrrrrception
631301:15:58: <viejo> 1d20+12 pls
631401:15:58: <Dados> Viejo, pls: 24 [1d20=12]
631501:16:05: <Rainglove> The mage nods. "If you can wait, yes."
631601:16:08: <NachtRuine> Saav sees Qojo and Aeria trot off. He is concern, but figures they can handle themselves. Besides, guard bein' evil and all.
631701:16:18: <Hippocratesi> Aeria follows. "[Likewise.]"
631801:16:32: <Hippocratesi> 1d20+7 UH WOTS OUT HER?
631901:16:32: <Dados> Hippocratesi, UH WOTS OUT HER?: 27 [1d20=20]
632001:16:39: <Hippocratesi> i can see the world
632101:16:48: <Rainglove> qojo has shown you the world
632201:16:52: <viejo> "[I hope my attempt at the language isn't too painful to your ears... I am somewhat rusty.]"
632301:16:53: <Rainglove> shining, shimmering, etc.
632401:17:07: <viejo> er
632501:17:07: <viejo> Just like Aeria's wet juicy
632601:17:08: <viejo> heart
632701:17:54: <Benedict> Lesbians are the worst.
632801:17:57: <Hippocratesi> "[You're pretty good if you ask me. Not perfect, but I'm sure you'll get it all back in time.]"
632901:18:03: <Goatsmith> He nods. "I can. I shall return."
633001:18:47: <Rainglove> Now that you've seen the one guard, you notice a few more every now and again among the people. Nothing /really/ obvious, but they're around. The crowd of people parts around them, giving them small circles all to themselves.
633101:18:47: <Goatsmith> He then turns to Saav and Nurel to see what they want to do.
633201:19:11: <Rainglove> They seem different from standard guards. Darker, somehow. Not all of them feel evil, but many of them do.
633301:19:16: <viejo> Can I attempt sense motive of sorts on what's going on? or is that DUMB
633401:20:52: <NachtRuine> Saav has done the things he wanted to do, but he is obviously still focused on the guard, and his evility.
633501:21:05: <Rainglove> it's kinda dumb. K local would do, though
633601:21:17: <Rainglove> Thar be a guard.
633701:21:18: <viejo> 1d20+6 HRK
633801:21:18: <Dados> Viejo, HRK: 23 [1d20=17]
633901:21:20: <Rainglove> and he be evil
634001:21:21: <Rainglove> well
634101:21:23: <Hippocratesi> "[This town doesn't give me a good feeling. Something's wrong here.]"
634201:22:01: <NachtRuine> 1d20+6 imma klocal too
634301:22:01: <Dados> NachtRuine, imma klocal too: 17 [1d20=11]
634401:22:18: <Goatsmith> What does the KING wanna do, Benedict?
634501:22:29: <Rainglove> Shit is definitely wrong on some level. You're not too good with people Qojo, but you know enough to know that if people are putting that much effort towards avoiding what's supposed to be the local police force somethin' ain't right.
634601:22:38: <Rainglove> They don't strike you as being out there to protect the people.
634701:22:52: <Rainglove> You definitely get the feeling at least a few of them are there to watch you.
634801:23:01: <Goatsmith> Fucking corrupt dwarves.
634901:24:01: <viejo> "[Yeah, yeah you're right. There's something fishy going on here and... Is he watching me? The people seem pretty avoidant of them, there is definitely something weird going on here.]"
635001:24:05: <Benedict> King wants to do stuff in the background, AKA not RP.
635101:25:47: <NachtRuine> Saav raises his mask. Hard to know what you're saying when they can't see your lips. "Giant. Come, we should explore the market. See if there is anything interesting."
635201:26:40: <Hippocratesi> "[Indeed, citizens should feel safety around the guards, not fear. They're watching us. Unfortunately, I don't think there's anything we can do for now.]"
635301:27:09: <viejo> "[Shall we try and find a more secluded area and corner a townsperson? Get them to spill the beans on what's going on?]"
635401:27:10: <viejo> LAWFUL GUD
635501:27:59: <Hippocratesi> "[Qojo. No.]"
635601:28:11: <Goatsmith> Waakanti nods. "That is acceptable. Let us go."
635701:29:14: <Hippocratesi> "[Perhaps not corner them but...speak to them. Maybe I can convince someone to trust me.]"
635801:30:06: <viejo> "[WELL, I don't mean like... In a ROUGH manner, just find someone on their own without a guard about is all.]"
635901:30:33: <NachtRuine> As the two walk, Saav says to Waakanti. "The guards watch us. They watch the people as well, but not with good intention."
636001:30:45: <Hippocratesi> "[That may prove difficult. There are guards all around.]"
636101:30:52: <viejo> "[I could try slipping into a house unseen?]"
636201:31:51: <Rainglove> LAHFULL
636301:31:53: <Rainglove> GEWD
636401:32:14: <viejo> There's nothing unlawful or bad about trying to get out of sight of some evil fuggen guards
636501:32:32: <Hippocratesi> "[Qojo, please.]"
636601:32:39: <Goatsmith> "I believe, as Gwyn, I am guilty of feeling superior... but these dwarves. I feel justified in my distaste."
636701:32:54: <viejo> "[I'm just trying to think outside the booooox.]" She seems put out.
636801:33:37: <Hippocratesi> "[Maybe...we could find a shopkeep?]"
636901:33:57: <viejo> "[Sure. Anyone who doesn't have a guard peering over their shoulder.]" THEY SEARCH
637001:34:20: <Hippocratesi> 1d20+7 WHERE BE SHOPS?
637101:34:20: <Dados> Hippocratesi, WHERE BE SHOPS?: 9 [1d20=2]
637201:34:27: <Hippocratesi> WHERE BE MY HANDS
637301:34:32: <Rainglove> somewhere up your nose
637401:34:52: <NachtRuine> "You may feel distaste, but do not presume superiority. I assure you, I share that aspect with you. Unfortunately, I fear we cannot meddle, at least for the time being. One town is more than enough."
637501:37:17: <viejo> 1d20+12 TELL ME YOUR SECRETS SHOPKEEPER
637601:37:18: <Dados> Viejo, TELL ME YOUR SECRETS SHOPKEEPER: 31 [1d20=19]
637701:37:25: <viejo> What colour underwear is he wearing?
637801:37:28: <Goatsmith> "I feel the same, but our two paladins may feel otherwise."
637901:37:38: <Rainglove> well
638001:37:58: <Rainglove> It takes a good amount of looking but eventually you find a shop that /seems/ to be out of view of one of the guards
638101:38:06: <Rainglove> though your being there will probably draw them soon enough
638201:38:20: <NachtRuine> "We may need to temper their fervor. Or at least attempt to. We cannot save the entire world."
638301:38:27: <Benedict> Nurel feels the death of law in the land and oh hey let's do some studying on gun design.
638401:38:29: <Benedict> 1d20+5
638501:38:29: <Dados> Benedict, 1d20+5: 7 [1d20=2]
638601:38:31: <Benedict> Nope.
638701:39:11: <viejo> Qojo begins to speak, then closes her mouth and looks to Aeria.
638801:39:43: <Rainglove> another dildo launcher, nurel
638901:40:49: <Hippocratesi> "[Act quickly.]" Aeria enters the shop.
639001:41:58: <Rainglove> gimme a sssssstealth check
639101:42:06: <Goatsmith> He nods. "But it's quite distasteful to see this treatment. We did not treat our /slaves/ with such a disdainfully watching eye."
639201:42:36: <Rainglove> qojo and aeria
639301:42:47: <Hippocratesi> i-if you say so
639401:43:00: <Hippocratesi> 1d20+1 STEALTH IN HEAVY ARMOR
639501:43:01: <Dados> Hippocratesi, STEALTH IN HEAVY ARMOR: 18 [1d20=17]
639601:43:04: <Hippocratesi> wow
639701:43:37: <viejo> 1d20+13 HRK
639801:43:37: <Dados> Viejo, HRK: 31 [1d20=18]
639901:43:38: <Goatsmith> Gwyn 2: Electric Rollaloo
640001:43:51: <NachtRuine> Saav cringes at the accented word. "Yes, I agree. But what can we do. Liberate this town, too. Who would rule it. Surely not I."
640101:44:53: <viejo> I am become shadow
640201:45:00: <Rainglove> you've uh
640301:45:04: <Rainglove> evaded the guards pretty good
640401:45:30: <Rainglove> this seems to be a potion shop, or something of the kind. Someone you suspect is an alchemist is behind the counter, and he waves as you enter.
640501:45:52: <viejo> Qojo looks to Aeria.
640601:47:21: <Hippocratesi> Aeria steps up to the counter. "Hello. We've got some questions for you- about the town."
640701:47:22: <Goatsmith> "Nor I." He idly browses through the stalls as he walks with Saav, thinking. "They did not say the leader was evil."
640801:48:13: <Rainglove> He nods, looking somewhat deflated. "Don't suppose you've any need for any kind of magic, then?"
640901:49:10: <Hippocratesi> "No, I'm afraid not."
641001:49:43: <NachtRuine> "From what I could feel, he may not be. Which is... Odd. I can think of a couple of explanations, but nothing which I can prove right now."
641101:50:12: <Rainglove> "Well, what'd you want to know?"
641201:50:22: <viejo> "But one of our friends is interested in alchemy, we could show him to your shop later if you'd like?"
641301:51:11: <Hippocratesi> "We're curious about many of the guards here. The people fear them, I'm sure you're no exception?"
641401:51:12: <Rainglove> "Sounds good, business has been dreadful. Turns out people don't really feel like spending money on spitting fire when they can't afford to eat." He grins, only sort of bitter.
641501:52:25: <Rainglove> He blinks, surprised, then looks outside and back at you two. "That's uh, not really your business, but uh... they're not terribly popular."
641601:52:29: <Goatsmith> "Do you think he's oblivious?"
641701:54:05: <viejo> "We weren't followed but we don't know how long we have."
641801:54:42: <NachtRuine> "That is one possibility. Another might be magic. He may be hiding his evilness. But as I said, I cannot prove it."
641901:56:16: <Hippocratesi> 1d20+13 "I can assure you that it /is/ my business. The guards here are corrupt and your town is suffering for it. I-...We are only here to help."
642001:56:16: <Dados> Hippocratesi, "I can assure you that it /is/ my business. The guards here are corrupt and your town is suffering for it. I-...We are only here to help.": 32 [1d20=19]
642101:58:17: <viejo> Qojo looks at Aeria in wonder. So beautiful.
642201:58:21: <Goatsmith> "I do not think this would make much sense, with his men eminating such vileness."
642301:59:23: <Rainglove> He shakes his head and continues glancing between you and his storefront. "I do believe you. But speaking about this is... very dangerous."
642402:00:17: <Hippocratesi> "I realize that. Is there somewhere we could speak in private?"
642502:01:38: <Rainglove> He nods and gestures towards a back room. He waves at the front of his shop and a sign flips to "closed", then turns and heads back, looking very very nervous
642602:02:11: <NachtRuine> "Some people cannot, or do not, try to sense the evil around them. Regardless, the cause is not important. Not as much as what is happening. It is a tragedy, but I fear we may go too far, should we do anything."
642702:03:13: <Hippocratesi> "I will make sure no harm comes to you." Aeria follows him to the back.
642802:05:49: <Rainglove> You all end up in what's actually a decently sized room for being the back of a shop. Potions and wands of various sizes line the walls. The alchemist rubs his hands nervously. "What is it you wanted to know, exactly?"
642902:06:10: <Hippocratesi> "Was it always like this?"
643002:07:42: <Rainglove> "Since I've been here. It's some sort of... cult, from what I understand. I haven't dealt with them terribly much. I think they were part of the dwarves when they were in the mountains."
643102:09:39: <Hippocratesi> "A cult..." Aeria nods to herself. "And what of the town's leader, Layos? Is he in the cult?"
643202:10:22: <Rainglove> he shrugs. "I don't know. I haven't seen them with him, but he can hardly be ignorant of their existence."
643302:10:57: <NachtRuine> "We should probably attempt to find the others. I think we've been here long enough."
643402:11:00: <viejo> "Who is their leader and where do they live?"
643502:11:49: <Rainglove> He shakes his head. "I don't know terribly much about them. I do my best to avoid learning more, honestly. They're not the most scrupulous of groups."
643602:12:23: <viejo> "Do you know what their cult focuses on?"
643702:13:13: <Goatsmith> Waakanti nods. "Yes. Let us."
643802:13:17: <Goatsmith> AND THEY BEGIN TO LOOK
643902:13:53: <Rainglove> "They're just... here. They don't like people asking about them. I don't know if they want us here,or if they're just hiding here. They're very secretive and very good at finding people."
644002:13:58: <Rainglove> He resumes looking very nervous
644102:14:07: <Rainglove> Good fuggen luck finding them in the background of some random shop
644202:14:25: <NachtRuine> 1d20+12 GRK
644302:14:25: <Dados> NachtRuine, GRK: 31 [1d20=19]
644402:14:51: <Rainglove> Saav uh
644502:14:56: <Rainglove> hones in on magical auras or some shit
644602:15:40: <NachtRuine> HE CAN SEE THE AURAS. "Follow, giant. I feel them." He closes in.
644702:16:00: <Rainglove> You locate the shop with the closed sign
644802:17:08: <viejo> Just don't draw any attention. :^)
644902:17:12: <Goatsmith> Waakanti follows.
645002:17:18: <NachtRuine> Odd. What are they doing in a closed shop? Saav knocks.
645102:17:42: <Goatsmith> He is a giant and thus naturally draws attention. "Perhaps they are hiding."
645202:17:56: <Rainglove> The alchemist has a small heart attack. You all hear the knock. He starts grabbing very angry looking potions/
645302:18:08: <viejo> half-giant scrublord manlet*
645402:18:09: <Rainglove> He suddenly seems very fond of explosives
645502:18:23: <viejo> "Oh shit, do you think they found us?"
645602:18:59: <Hippocratesi> Aeria huffs. "Probably. Damnit, I didn't think they'd find us so soon!"
645702:19:09: <NachtRuine> Saav patiently waits. "Perhaps. This feels odd, however. Is it that late, for a store to be closed?"
645802:19:09: <Hippocratesi> "We may not be able to avoid a fight here..."
645902:19:42: <viejo> "I'm sorry, I thought we weren't seen or followed." She says to the shopkeeper.
646002:20:03: <Rainglove> He pockets another bomb. "I figured it'd happen sooner or later."
646102:20:42: <Rainglove> And now that he has his bombs, the alchemist dramatically shoves the door open and dives out, thumping to the ground behind the counter. He starts yelling something mostly unintelligible about never being taken alive.
646202:20:48: <viejo> "How lethal are they?" She indicates the bombs.
646302:20:50: <Rainglove> This is both clearly visible and audible to saav
646402:20:56: <Rainglove> he gone qojo
646502:21:13: <viejo> "Shit! Aeria what do we do?"
646602:22:05: <Hippocratesi> Aeria rubs a hand on her face. "He...that wasn't necessary..." She looks to Qojo. "We help him." She takes out her sword of greatness and walks back out into the front of the store.
646702:22:32: <Rainglove> Well there's saav
646802:22:38: <Rainglove> and there's that angel chick
646902:22:50: <NachtRuine> Saav connects the mental dots. "Perhaps they learned of the guard's t - " The bursting occurs. "Hello. You are the shopkeep, I presume." He seems confused.
647002:22:58: <viejo> "Here we go..." She follows.
647102:23:21: <Goatsmith> Waaanti looks in.
647202:23:38: <Goatsmith> Waakanti even
647302:23:52: <Rainglove> "-UCKING WORLD BLEW UP AND I Surrr..." he trails off, then straightens up. "Er, hello, we're uh... we're closed."
647402:24:10: <Rainglove> He realizes he's holding a bomb and places it delicately behind the counter.
647502:24:30: <viejo> 1d20+12 Did anyone besides those two see/hear this?
647602:24:30: <Dados> Viejo, Did anyone besides those two see/hear this?: 29 [1d20=17]
647702:24:52: <Rainglove> probably
647802:24:54: <Hippocratesi> Aeria was just about the SMITE EBIL but she sees who the dudes really are. "Oh."
647902:25:14: <Rainglove> she still could
648002:25:23: <NachtRuine> "My apologies. I thought my compatriots were h - Oh, they are." He lowers his mask. "Is this what you've been doing?"
648102:25:58: <Hippocratesi> I mean I COULD
648202:26:17: <viejo> Qojo looks fairly pissed off. "Why are you two even here? Weren't you talking to that guy about the artifacts?"
648302:27:14: <Hippocratesi> "We were /attempting/ to figure out what was going on here."
648402:29:00: <NachtRuine> "As were we. It would've been nice if you'd let us know what you were doing as opposed to hiding it behind your angelspeak. I realize a guard was there, but still. A hint."
648502:29:39: <Rainglove> The alchemist seems somewhat blindsided and just kind of stands there thumbing a vial of something.
648602:29:57: <Goatsmith> "Being upset over this seems quite silly." Waakanti frowns, then looks around for any guards.
648702:30:03: <Hippocratesi> "What sort of hint could we have given you?"
648802:30:10: <Goatsmith> As quickly an' covertly as possible.
648902:30:16: <viejo> "One thing lead to another, we took an opportunity to try and get some more information on the whole rotten thing. I still don't quite get why or how you two ended up here."
649002:30:25: <Rainglove> you don't see any immediately but they're almost certainly either coming or well hidden
649102:31:13: <viejo> "Damn it we can't talk out here so openly."
649202:31:14: <Goatsmith> Can I perception?
649302:31:39: <Rainglove> feel free
649402:32:02: <NachtRuine> "I felt your auras. This is not our mess, we should leave."
649502:32:48: <Dados> Goatsmith, 1d20+11: 18 [1d20=7]
649602:32:48: <Goatsmith> 1d20+11
649702:32:49: <Hippocratesi> "We won't get far, you realize that?"
649802:32:52: <Goatsmith> Shit
649902:33:04: <Rainglove> You don't see anything unusual
650002:33:06: <NachtRuine> 1d20+12 wotic
650102:33:06: <Dados> NachtRuine, wotic: 18 [1d20=6]
650202:33:15: <Rainglove> the auras have left you
650302:33:15: <viejo> does muh 29 notice anything?
650402:33:40: <Goatsmith> Waakanti is struck with a bright idea! The thing he's best at.
650502:33:58: <Goatsmith> "Stay here."
650602:34:00: <NachtRuine> "We were simply purchasing elixirs and potions, were we not?" Saav hints at the idea.
650702:34:11: <Goatsmith> "I will create a distraction, if I must."
650802:34:43: <viejo> 1d20+13 do the shadows lend me their aid? (pls)
650902:34:43: <Dados> Viejo, do the shadows lend me their aid? (pls): 22 [1d20=9]
651002:34:45: <viejo> fug
651102:35:11: <Benedict> Nurel is probably looking for qt goblins to rub his hands at.
651202:35:18: <Rainglove> You do notice some sort of disturbance outside. Whether it's people evading a guard or people getting away from the noise is a mystery
651302:35:36: <viejo> Is my stealth high enough to go have a looksee without being seen?
651402:35:46: <Rainglove> You can try
651502:35:58: <Rainglove> you have a crowd, which will help
651602:36:13: <viejo> Sure. She sneaks along.
651702:36:48: <Goatsmith> Waakanti drags Saav along while whoever continues their interrogation. "Let us be loud and distracting, orc."
651802:36:55: <NachtRuine> "We should not cause any more attention to be drawn to ourselves. We simply say we were buying a potion and leave."
651902:37:43: <Rainglove> Qojo gets out of the shop and into the street alright. You, again, don't /see/ anything, but you get the feeling you're being watched. The crowd is moving very oddly.
652002:37:46: <Rainglove> K religion or arcana
652102:38:07: <viejo> 1d20+6 religion
652202:38:07: <Dados> Viejo, religion: 12 [1d20=6]
652302:38:12: <viejo> 1d20+7 arcana (pls)
652402:38:12: <Dados> Viejo, arcana (pls): 9 [1d20=2]
652502:38:14: <viejo> god damn it
652602:38:31: <Goatsmith> "I am not a good liar."
652702:38:35: <Dados> Benedict, Nurel gets the feeling he should roll religion for some reason: 22 [1d20=17]
652802:38:35: <Benedict> 1d20+5 Nurel gets the feeling he should roll religion for some reason
652902:38:41: <Rainglove> Something seems off, but what it is you have no idea
653002:38:53: <NachtRuine> "But I am." The mask has its real use.
653102:39:04: <viejo> Any point in another perception check?
653202:39:12: <Hippocratesi> Aeria turns back to the alchemist. "I can't just leave you here, will they not take you away?"
653302:39:19: <Rainglove> You'd have to hit a very high DC
653402:39:30: <Benedict> muh 22
653502:39:30: <viejo> 1d20+12 I BELIEVE
653602:39:31: <Dados> Viejo, I BELIEVE: 24 [1d20=12]
653702:39:41: <Goatsmith> "Then you can stay, if you must, but we came in together and will surely draw attention together in a closed shop."
653802:39:45: <Rainglove> Nurel, you can feel something in that crowd. Somebody's doing something divine, and it ain't the good kind.
653902:39:47: <Rainglove> Nope
654002:39:55: <viejo> Qojo sneaks back.
654102:40:07: <Benedict> Nurel cannot stand this EVIL, and so he approaches the crowd to figure out what the fuck it is.
654202:40:08: <viejo> "Something weird is going on but I'm not sure what."
654302:40:56: <NachtRuine> "Define weird. Perhaps I might provide insight."
654402:40:56: <viejo> "I... really don't know what to expect. I'm sorry you've been drawn into this." She talks to the shopkeeper. "I don't know how much /they/ know but what would you feel most comfortable with? Staying here or coming with us?"
654502:40:57: <Rainglove> Spending a couple seconds concentrating on detect magic /does/ give you locations.
654602:41:23: <viejo> Qojo shrugs. "I couldn't say. Nothing came to mind."
654702:41:37: <Hippocratesi> 1d20+6 OH UH K RELIGION
654802:41:37: <Dados> Hippocratesi, OH UH K RELIGION: 16 [1d20=10]
654902:41:40: <Hippocratesi> jeez man
655002:41:44: <Goatsmith> Waakanti casts Detect Magic, then!
655102:41:49: <Rainglove> The alchemist still seems terribly nervous. "I was kind of into it already. Honestly I'd prefer leaving but..." He gestures at his shop.
655202:42:01: <Rainglove> theeeere you go
655302:42:30: <viejo> "I know this is... Well, this is quite a big thing for someone you've just met, but, I'm sure there's room back in our town for you? If we constructed a shop for you?"
655402:42:31: <Goatsmith> 1d20+2 And muh small Arcana
655502:42:31: <Dados> Goatsmith, And muh small Arcana: 18 [1d20=16]
655602:42:32: <Rainglove> someone's in that crowd waakanti. You can't get an exact area, and as far as you can see there isn't anyone there, but there's definitely magic there.
655702:42:50: <Benedict> Nurel wants to see what's in that gods damn crowd.
655802:42:54: <viejo> "I... Well, I really don't want to leave you here on your own with your explosives and gungho nature... It'll get you hurt."
655902:43:06: <NachtRuine> 1d20+7 ill roll religion too
656002:43:06: <Dados> NachtRuine, ill roll religion too: 16 [1d20=9]
656102:43:14: <Rainglove> you'd want spellcraft here
656202:43:26: <NachtRuine> 1d20+7 muh spellcraft
656302:43:26: <Dados> NachtRuine, muh spellcraft: 16 [1d20=9]
656402:43:27: <Goatsmith> 1d20+5 even better
656502:43:27: <Dados> Goatsmith, even better: 18 [1d20=13]
656602:43:32: <Goatsmith> wow
656702:43:39: <Goatsmith> the same goddamn rolls
656802:43:54: <Hippocratesi> "I'm sorry for this, I truly am. I'd hate for you to leave your home behind but I cannot possibly leave you here with a clear conscience."
656902:44:05: <Dados> NachtRuine, m-muh arcanas?: 24 [1d20=18]
657002:44:05: <NachtRuine> 1d20+6 m-muh arcanas?
657102:44:09: <Rainglove> Waakanti has a bit of a brain fart, but he can recognize an invisibility spell
657202:44:11: <viejo> The true hero.
657302:44:18: <Rainglove> and that's what that is
657402:44:41: <viejo> what RACE is this shopkeeper?
657502:44:58: <Goatsmith> "There's someone invisible in this crowd."
657602:45:01: <Rainglove> Human
657702:45:27: <Goatsmith> Can he continue casting Detect Magic to pinpoint a more exact location?
657802:45:49: <viejo> "Will you come with us? If only for now while whatever it is that's going on happens, and if anything happens to your shop you can come back to our town with us?"
657902:46:30: <NachtRuine> "By my Lord, what is wrong with this town?"
658002:47:13: <NachtRuine> "Though I preferred leaving, I fear we have been thrust into action."
658102:49:29: <Rainglove> You have the five-foot area he's in, can't get more precise
658202:50:12: <Goatsmith> That seems like enough.
658302:50:59: <Goatsmith> "Orc, come. Help me locate." He leads Saav to the five foot area, making sure to keep casting in case the guy moves.
658402:51:13: <Rainglove> The alchemist looks anxiously at the street, then sighs and nods. "I think I won't be staying here terribly long either way, so... yeah, I'll come with you."
658502:53:47: <Rainglove> The aura stays there. Those of you with detect evil, you start detecting some more evil.
658602:54:20: <Rainglove> Impending doom alarms go off. While you may have qualms about getting into a lethal fight in a crowd of innocents, these guys may not. Moving might be a good idea.
658702:55:46: <Hippocratesi> "We can't fight this. Alchemist, come with us. Right now." Aeria exits the shop and WE NEED TO GET GOING, LIKE REAL FAST GUYS.
658802:55:48: <Goatsmith> "Saav." Gasp! Name use!
658902:55:54: <Goatsmith> "You are good with fear, yes?"
659002:55:58: <viejo> Qojo follows WOOSH
659102:56:13: <NachtRuine> "Hrm? Yes, of course I am." He is not used to him using his name.
659202:57:48: <Hippocratesi> Aeria calls out to the other two. "We need to go, NOW!"
659302:58:38: <Rainglove> People are shoved out of the way. The alchemist follows the shiny angel lady, letting her clear the lovely little path.
659402:58:55: <viejo> Qojo follows behind the alchemist. Gotta protect our d00d.
659502:58:59: <Goatsmith> He sets his hand on Saav's shoulder, and a sense of luck begins to flow into his friend. Hello, free reroll!
659602:59:30: <Goatsmith> "I believe we should clear this crowd. I have a spell that may help, but it would draw your weapon. I do not think we have this luxury."
659702:59:48: <Goatsmith> require you draw* whoops
659802:59:58: <Rainglove> Reminder that an invisible whoever is right next to you
659903:00:14: <Hippocratesi> Aeria sees they won't god damn listen so she keeps running.
660003:00:46: <Rainglove> Where're you headed, generally? Towards the exit of the town, towards an empty area...?
660103:01:24: <viejo> there's someone RIGHT next to us who's invisible?
660203:01:57: <Rainglove> Next to waakanti and saav
660303:02:03: <Hippocratesi> the exit
660403:08:25: <Rainglove> The crowd begins to thin as you hit the edges of the residential area, aeria. The closed gate comes into view, as does one of the guards.
660503:08:37: <Rainglove> The Bad Guards. The normal ones are also there.
660603:10:00: <Rainglove> Alcheman slows from his sprint, lagging behind you as he comes into view.
660703:10:22: <Goatsmith> Waakanti's eyes continue scanning the five foot area. WHERE ARE YA, BADDIE?
660803:10:32: <Hippocratesi> "Godsdamn, I wasn't thinking. We'll never past these guards."
660903:10:52: <Hippocratesi> get past*
661003:10:52: <Hippocratesi> fug
661103:11:21: <Hippocratesi> "Do you have any ideas, alchemist?"
661203:12:43: <NachtRuine> "Invisible one. I know you are there. What is your intention."
661303:13:22: <Rainglove> He thumbs something that is probably explosive in his pocket. "Not really. The walls are thick and difficult to scale, and those men... The three of us cold probably fight one, but there may be more."
661403:15:15: <Hippocratesi> Aeria looks behind her. "And the others aren't here either. I...I'm not sure what to do."
661503:16:24: <Rainglove> The empty space responds, Waakanti. "You are obstructing our operations with your interactions here."
661603:17:37: <Goatsmith> "By simply being here?"
661703:17:41: <NachtRuine> "What operations." No one ever told Saav about the cult thing.
661803:17:58: <Goatsmith> Waakanti doesn't even think they've done much!
661903:18:20: <Rainglove> "Your presence is enough of a disturbance. Your interactions with the townsfolk are our major concern."
662003:20:20: <Goatsmith> He gives Saav a look of concern.
662103:20:34: <Hippocratesi> Aeria turns back to the guards and holds up her hands. "We only wish to leave! Please, let us through!"
662203:20:50: <viejo> "What are the other two doing? Damn it. This is a mess."
662303:21:09: <NachtRuine> "I had not originally planned to do anything besides trade. We have enough problems on our own hands." This itself is true.
662403:22:22: <Rainglove> "Your original intentions are not our concern. Your actions are. You have taken someone."
662503:23:01: <Goatsmith> "We have?"
662603:23:11: <Rainglove> The guards on the gate don't move. The Big Bad Guard also stays where he is. He doesn't speak, just stays stood between you and the gate.
662703:23:41: <Rainglove> "An alchemist. Your friends have him, unless I am mistaken. We cannot allow him to leave. We should not allow /you/ to leave."
662803:24:39: <Goatsmith> Fucking good guys and their good morals.
662903:25:02: <Goatsmith> Waakanti tries to look over the crowd for his other party members.
663003:25:04: <viejo> Any roll I can do to check out these guards and their intentions to us?
663103:25:45: <Rainglove> you can try
663203:25:51: <Goatsmith> "Should not means room for negotation, yes?"
663303:26:02: <viejo> 1d20+11 sense motive
663403:26:02: <Puffgoof> Viejo, sense motive: 30 [1d20=19]
663503:26:19: <Hippocratesi> Aeria stands her ground. "We don't have to fight."
663603:26:25: <Rainglove> hrk
663703:26:35: <viejo> I am becometh Dados.
663803:26:43: <Rainglove> this is puffgoof
663903:26:50: <Rainglove> goddamn asshole check your dicebot privilege
664003:26:58: <viejo> Dados is my dicebotfu.
664103:27:24: <NachtRuine> "You would desire him back. Is he pivotal to your operations, whatever they may be."
664203:27:51: <Rainglove> "Hardly pivotal, but essential."
664303:28:28: <Rainglove> Qojo, the guards on the gate are scared for their fuggen lives. The only reason they're not bolting is the big ol' guard between you and them. And, coincidentally, them and the rest of the town.
664403:29:19: <viejo> Qojo relays this to Aeria. "[Aeria, something weird is going on. Do we appeal to these guards and take that big bastard down? I know it's rash but, things are weird and I think we might have to act.]"
664503:30:00: <Goatsmith> "And if we return him, we are free to leave?"
664603:30:40: <Rainglove> "We will be much more lenient. Freely leaving? I am unsure."
664703:31:03: <Hippocratesi> "[I fear the same thing. I can try but...I can't guarantee anything.]" Aeria looks again to the guards.
664803:32:00: <Goatsmith> This makes Waakanti uncomfortable, but he tries not to show it. Instead he turns to his friend, who is a better talker than he.
664903:35:10: <Hippocratesi> 1d20+13 "We are somewhat ignorant of what's happening here but we've only come to help all of you. It's clear you don't act for fear of what may happen to you but you shall have nothing to fear if you stand with us. We are not your average adventurers."
665003:35:12: <Puffgoof> Hippocratesi, "We are somewhat ignorant of what's happening here but we've only come to help all of you. It's clear you don't act for fear of what may happen to you but you shall have nothing to fear if you stand with us. We are not your average adventurers.": 29 [1d20=16]
665103:35:17: <Hippocratesi> LORD HAVE MERCY
665203:35:24: <viejo> God damn Aeria you are wonderful.
665303:38:37: <NachtRuine> "I did not have any input on their actions. Allow us to leave, and I will convince the others to give you the alchemist."
665403:38:46: <Rainglove> The biggun ain't havin' dat. The guards seem less fearful, but big guy draws a greatsword from behind him, holding it in both hands. He remains where he is, but something... horrible emanates from him. Aeria, you recognize the aura of an antipaladin.
665503:39:36: <Rainglove> You don't have to be able to detect magic to feel this, it's an actual aura.
665603:39:44: <viejo> "Now, that's not very nice is it? I'm gonna kick your ass!"
665703:40:19: <Hippocratesi> Aeria suddenly scowls. She draws her own greatsword and holds it out in front of her in both hands. "/I am not afraid of you./"
665803:40:28: <Hippocratesi> why didn't it do the thing
665903:40:41: <NachtRuine> "Does that not seem a fair trade? We are important elsewhere, and the alchemist is important here."
666003:40:49: <viejo> Qojo gets into a combat-ready pose, fists at the ready and dancing from foot to foot.
666103:41:58: <viejo> "If you won't fight with us - make sure you don't fight /against us/." Qojo directs this at the guards.
666203:42:06: <Rainglove> The voice remains quiet for a moment, Saav. "It is not simply a matter of fair trade. You have encroached upon us. We must ensure it does not happen again."
666303:43:24: <Rainglove> The antipaladin doesn't respond to your comments. Just stays there, sword at the ready. Grey flame licks against his fingertips, though the sword remains unlit for now.
666403:44:00: <NachtRuine> "What would you have happen? An oath? A geas? What?"
666503:44:38: <Rainglove> "That is not up to me."
666603:44:52: <viejo> "Seems our new pal doesn't want to come over and play! Alchemist, would you do the honours?" She nods at one of his explosive potions. "Might want to get back, fellas." She winks at the other guards.
666703:45:05: <Goatsmith> "Surely we must have motivation to trade off."
666803:45:10: <Puffgoof> Hippocratesi, BEHOLD MY UNREMARKABLE INITIATIVE: 4 [1d20=3]
666903:45:10: <Hippocratesi> 1d20+1 BEHOLD MY UNREMARKABLE INITIATIVE
667003:45:18: <Rainglove> you did it
667103:45:27: <Hippocratesi> I DID IT
667203:45:48: <Rainglove> The alchemist blinks, tapping his fingers against a bomb. "I uh... if I have to."
667303:45:58: <Puffgoof> Rainglove, alchemist initiative: 17 [1d20=13]
667403:45:58: <Rainglove> 1d20+4 alchemist initiative
667503:46:02: <viejo> awww yeah
667603:46:07: <Rainglove> 1d20+3 antipaladin initiative
667703:46:08: <Puffgoof> Rainglove, antipaladin initiative: 15 [1d20=12]
667803:46:11: <viejo> 1d20+5
667903:46:11: <Puffgoof> Viejo, 1d20+5: 19 [1d20=14]
668003:46:13: <Hippocratesi> dude why
668103:46:37: <viejo> Can I opt to take my turn after the alchemist's?
668203:46:40: <viejo> but before antipaladin's?
668303:46:49: <Goatsmith> "Then what must we do?"
668403:46:51: <NachtRuine> "Then who is it up to?"
668503:47:05: <Rainglove> you can delay initiative, yes
668603:47:54: <viejo> I will do so then, alchemist ahoy
668703:48:56: <Rainglove> 1d20+6 we doin' splash or direct damage?
668803:48:57: <Puffgoof> Rainglove, we doin' splash or direct damage?: 14 [1d20=8]
668903:49:00: <Rainglove> splaaaash
669003:49:35: <Rainglove> Antipaladin gets hit for 5 puny damage
669103:49:38: <Rainglove> Qojo's turn
669203:49:48: <viejo> Can I delay my turn until after antipaladin's?
669303:49:51: <Rainglove> yeah
669403:49:56: <viejo> I will do so
669503:50:56: <Rainglove> The antipaladin's sword bursts into grey flame, and he mutters something. Qojo, a spell hits you. Will save.
669603:51:05: <viejo> is it an enchantment?
669703:51:25: <Rainglove> it is mind-affecting, but not enchantment
669803:51:37: <viejo> 1d20+7
669903:51:37: <Puffgoof> Viejo, 1d20+7: 15 [1d20=8]

670603:52:04: <Puffgoof> Viejo, 1d20+2: 9 [1d20=7]

671603:52:50: <Rainglove> feel free to attack
671703:52:56: <viejo> as in, full attack?
671803:53:02: <Rainglove> You have to close the distance son

672603:54:21: <Puffgoof> Rainglove, 2d6: 8 [2d6=2,6]
672703:54:25: <viejo> oh boy
672803:54:57: <Rainglove> Something terrifying rips through you as you swing at the antipaladin. You eat 8 nonlethal damage, and fail to do shit.
672903:54:59: <Rainglove> Aeria's turn
673003:55:04: <Rainglove> Spell is still in effect on qojo

673803:56:19: <Rainglove> you can still close the gap and attack, smiting is a swift action

674003:56:49: <Hippocratesi> 1d20+12 pls hit

674503:57:35: <viejo> does it swing back to my turn?
674603:59:01: <Rainglove> Alchemist's turn. He chugs a vial of something and becomes much more dextrous which is somehow visible.
674703:59:10: <Rainglove> And since he just has a move action, qojo's turn.
674803:59:35: <viejo> 1d20+13 trip

675404:01:47: <Rainglove> your first attack puts you on the ground

695004:41:15: <viejo> Qojo collapses. Time for a nap.

695604:43:30: <Puffgoof> Hippocratesi, JESUS LOVES ME THIS I KNOW: 20 [2d6=4,3]
695704:44:03: <Rainglove> Aeria cleaves dat antipaladin helmet.
695804:44:04: <Rainglove> WHAM
695904:44:18: <Rainglove> Dead paladin
696004:44:22: <viejo> meanwhile invis guy slits qojo's throat
696104:44:35: <Rainglove> qojo snores loudly
696204:45:14: <Hippocratesi> Aeria drops her greatsword on the ground. She sure is feeling that silky smooth 7 HP right now.
696304:45:56: <Goatsmith> "No! We may have been followed."
696404:46:26: <Hippocratesi> "That's...great."
696504:46:41: <Goatsmith> Waakanti goes over to Qojo and starts burning through his FERVOR since we aren't being attacked yet and I might like my spells.
696604:46:47: <Goatsmith> 1d6
696704:46:47: <Puffgoof> Goatsmith, 1d6: 5 [1d6=5]
696804:46:58: <Goatsmith> can I keep rolling and rolling
696904:47:02: <Rainglove> The people on the wall are oddly quiet at the antipaladin's death
697004:47:08: <viejo> Qojo gets up groggily. "Urgh... Thanks. What happened? Did we win?"
697104:47:08: <Rainglove> if you have multiple uses per day
697204:47:45: <Goatsmith> 5d6 Aeria has Lay on Hands and can heal herself
697304:47:45: <Puffgoof> Goatsmith, Aeria has Lay on Hands and can heal herself: 15 [5d6=6,1,2,5,1]
697404:47:51: <Goatsmith> fuck

698004:48:35: <Rainglove> you really like to get extreme rolls with that
698104:48:39: <Rainglove> again yes

698304:48:49: <Puffgoof> Hippocratesi, ah yea: 10 [2d6=4,6]
698404:48:51: <viejo> does that alchemist want to slip me a potion or seven?

698604:48:54: <Puffgoof> Hippocratesi, dat feels gud: 5 [2d6=1,4]
698704:48:54: <NachtRuine> Saav cannot heal anyone. He will reconsider this next time.
698804:49:07: <Rainglove> He can indeed, though his supplies are very limited
698904:49:16: <NachtRuine> I channel negative energy, remember?
699004:49:22: <NachtRuine> Ain't no undead in our party.
699104:49:32: <Hippocratesi> 2d6 one more i guess
699204:49:32: <Puffgoof> Hippocratesi, one more i guess: 6 [2d6=5,1]
699304:49:35: <Goatsmith> Not yet.
699404:49:47: <Goatsmith> What HD is this antipaladin?
699504:49:59: <viejo> "You got any more of those healing potions, alchemist?"
699604:51:30: <Hippocratesi> Aeria picks up her greatsword. "We'd have died if you two hadn't come along...I thank you both."
699704:51:55: <Rainglove> He shuffles around in his coat and hands on off to qojo. "I'm um... a little low on stock."
699804:52:00: <Goatsmith> "They want the alchemist."
699904:52:05: <viejo> "Really? Was it that bad? I can barely remember... If punch sapped my energy until I... collapsed."
700004:52:11: <Rainglove> He keeps eyeing the antipaladin. He doesn't seem any less nervous.
700104:52:12: <viejo> Every punch*
700204:52:24: <Hippocratesi> "I'm not going him to them."
700304:53:06: <NachtRuine> "You are adamant in this decision. Nothing will change your mind."
700404:53:36: <Hippocratesi> "You are not wrong, Saavou."
700504:53:51: <Hippocratesi> GIVING him* holy fuck
700604:54:38: <viejo> 2d8 pls
700704:54:38: <Puffgoof> Viejo, pls: 9 [2d8=5,4]
700804:54:46: <NachtRuine> "They were questions. The mask obscures them. But the answer is received regardless."
700904:55:00: <viejo> "Thanks... So, who's after him?"
701004:55:35: <Rainglove> add 7 to that qojo
701104:55:39: <Goatsmith> "We did not see him, but they seem affiliated with the town."
701204:55:46: <NachtRuine> "There is an invisible being. He is likely around. He requires the alchemist for reasons unknown."
701304:55:47: <viejo> neat
701404:57:00: <Rainglove> The invisidude doesn't make himself apparent
701504:57:17: <Rainglove> People are watching, from the main area of the town, but the area around you remains empty.
701604:57:22: <viejo> After some panting Qojo replies; "Tough, he's staying with us, presuming he wants to."
701704:57:39: <Rainglove> "I'd like very much not to go back."
701804:58:07: <Hippocratesi> "And you won't, not while I am here."
701904:58:14: <Rainglove> Someone else, dressed similarly to the antipaladin, approaches. Those of you with alignment detection, evil cleric. He doesn't seem overtly hostile.
702004:59:23: <Goatsmith> Waakanti casts Detect Magic.
702104:59:28: <Goatsmith> Lookin for invisidick.
702205:00:11: <Hippocratesi> Aeria turns to the cleric. "Another cultist?"
702305:00:13: <Goatsmith> Oh or that may be him, but y'know, just in case.
702405:00:45: <Rainglove> You detect him, waakanti. Somewhere in the vicinity of the cleric, but still invisible.
702505:01:42: <Rainglove> The cleric stops as he approaches and gestures towards the antipaladin. "You have made your position clear. I desire only the body of my comrade. I cannot negotiate for your freedom."
702605:02:09: <viejo> 1d20+11 sense motive on this fuck
702705:02:10: <Puffgoof> Viejo, sense motive on this fuck: 24 [1d20=13]
702805:02:20: <Rainglove> telling the truth far as you can tell
702905:02:27: <NachtRuine> 1d20+14 oh yeah totes. why he want the body?
703005:02:27: <Puffgoof> NachtRuine, oh yeah totes. why he want the body?: 23 [1d20=9]
703105:03:29: <Rainglove> well he's a cleric
703205:03:32: <Rainglove> and this is a dead guy
703305:03:42: <Goatsmith> an EVIL cleric
703405:03:42: <Rainglove> probably something to do with religion, or potentially raising dead
703505:03:52: <Goatsmith> oh I get it
703605:03:53: <Rainglove> resurrection and such
703705:04:06: <Goatsmith> >stealing my dead body for his own zombie
703805:04:23: <viejo> DO IT GOAT
703905:04:56: <Hippocratesi> "And what do you plan to do with this body? I presume your group of heathens aren't one for funerals?"
704005:05:00: <viejo> How are those guards looking? Like they went to join uuussss?
704105:05:29: <viejo> god damn coward guards
704205:05:50: <Hippocratesi> after fighting him, i'd be scared as fuck of him too
704305:06:19: <Hippocratesi> but he is dead now
704405:06:21: <Hippocratesi> so
704505:07:11: <Rainglove> The cleric seems affronted, but keeps his cool. "Our practices are no concern of yours. We simply desire the return of our dead. If you would refuse that, we will take it."
704605:08:12: <viejo> "Open that door first."
704705:08:46: <NachtRuine> "If you cannot negotiate for our freedom, then what can you negotiate."
704805:09:49: <Rainglove> "I am not here to negotiate. I am here to request."
704905:11:37: <NachtRuine> Saav looks to the others. "Honestly, I just want to move on. I don't care what he does with the body, for I have no intention of coming back here."
705005:11:59: <Goatsmith> "We do need to leave."
705105:12:15: <Goatsmith> "This seems enough a barter tool."
705205:13:31: <Hippocratesi> "Give it to them then."
705305:14:59: <NachtRuine> The angel condones it, and that's enough for Saav. He turns to the cultist. "Go ahead."
705405:15:37: <Rainglove> The cleric approaches the corpse, casts something, and it levitates up into the air. He leaves, corpse with him.
705505:15:49: <Rainglove> Invisidude remains somewhat near you, 15-ish feet away for those of you with detect magic
705605:15:56: <Rainglove> those of you without, no idea
705705:16:27: <Hippocratesi> Aeria turns back to the guards. "Open the gate."
705805:16:28: <Goatsmith> "The invisible one remains by us."
705905:17:05: <viejo> "He can watch us leave then. With the alchemist."
706005:17:11: <viejo> "What's your name by the way?"
706105:18:36: <Rainglove> "I am unimportant, and serve a higher purpose. I wish to speak with you, though... perhaps elsewhere. Would you accept my presence, perhaps, at a later date?"
706205:18:56: <viejo> Is this the invisible guy talking?
706305:19:02: <Rainglove> yes
706405:19:16: <Rainglove> this'd be the first time qojo and aeria have 'seen' him
706505:19:32: <viejo> Qojo giggles a bit at first, and then outright laughs. "Not you. You." She directs this clearly, this time, at the alchemist.
706605:19:42: <NachtRuine> "There is no elsewhere until you let us go."
706705:20:18: <Hippocratesi> "I will not make deals with the likes of you. Let us leave."
706805:20:19: <Rainglove> The air is miffed. "I believe you will be freed in a few moments."
706905:21:16: <NachtRuine> "Aeria, please." Saav turns to where he expects the invisible being to be. "Come visible, and come with a good explanation."
707005:22:19: <Rainglove> The alchemist still seems semi-shocked by things. "My name is uh, Lecit. Pleasure to make your acquaintance."
707105:22:31: <Rainglove> he becomes so out of it he will probably not speak for a while
707205:22:32: <Hippocratesi> "Do not 'please' me, Saavou, I've had enough of this."
707305:23:51: <Rainglove> The invisi-thing is quiet for a moment. "I cannot be seen here. They may know of my presence, but more than that would be... unwise. I would not harm you, I wish only to speak with you, somewhere more... comfortable."
707405:24:40: <viejo> "I'm pleased to meet you, and extra pleased that you won't be in the clutches of this... thing. My name is... Qojanna."
707505:24:57: <viejo> 1d20+12 sense motive on this bastard
707605:24:57: <Puffgoof> Viejo, sense motive on this bastard: 20 [1d20=8]
707705:25:19: <Rainglove> well he's invisible, so not a lot of cues to go off of, but he /sounds/ honest
707805:25:30: <Goatsmith> "The masked one and I are willing to talk to you, as we have spoken beforehand. I believe our friends should begin going, alchemist in hand."
707905:25:35: <NachtRuine> "Aeria, we have come across enemies who have turned out to be friends, and vice versa. Do you remember my mention of Rotter? He is such an example of the former. At least consider their words before writing them off. If things are to sour, I am certain we will make short work of it."
708005:25:45: <Rainglove> although if saav's taught you anything that don't mean shit
708105:26:27: <viejo> "Somewhere you can more comfortably fit a knife in between our shoulder blades? Hmmm."
708205:27:07: <Hippocratesi> "This is a /cult/, Saavou, an /evil cult/. We are not making friends with them."
708305:27:11: <Rainglove> "I carry no such weapons."
708405:27:56: <Hippocratesi> "I will not consider anything they say. I would be very happy if we could simply leave."
708505:29:16: <viejo> "If you even vaguely decide to consider this, make sure it's a place of /our/ choosing. Not his."
708605:29:19: <Goatsmith> "You know not if he is in said cult, in his defense."
708705:29:24: <Goatsmith> "Perhaps he is a defector."
708805:29:35: <Rainglove> There's a yell from somewhere around the town, and the gate creaks slightly. It's not open fully, but you can exit.
708905:30:05: <NachtRuine> "Are you not a proponent of redemption. We have a potential chance to redeem at least one member of this cult. Is that not a worthy cause. At the very least, heed him for now. Should we find him to be incapable of such redemption, we stop, and we'll never contact them again."
709005:31:23: <Hippocratesi> "...Do what you want." Aeria walks out of the gate. HMPH.
709105:31:50: <Rainglove> The alchemist follows. he ain't stain' hurr.
709205:32:28: <viejo> Qojo regards them for a brief moment longer. "Thanks for coming to our aid - we needed it." With that she goes off in pursuit of the other two.
709305:32:46: <viejo> "[You were incredible back in that fight.]" She says to Aeria.
709405:33:16: <NachtRuine> Saav sighs. She may be unhappy, but at least it is done. He 'looks' to the invisible being. "Come with a good enough explanation to persuade an angel." With that, he goes, cape dramatically flapping as he goes.
709505:33:31: <Goatsmith> Waakanti waits a bit before they're out of earshot, then comments. "I believe she is too demanding for one so new to our council."
709605:33:46: <Rainglove> The invisi-thing is no longer there.
709705:33:52: <Rainglove> it b gon
709805:34:24: <Hippocratesi> "[Thank you.]"
709905:34:29: <Goatsmith> He then fetches his camel-drawn cart and speeds up to pick everyone up.
710005:35:27: <NachtRuine> Before the giant speeds up to them, Saav says, "She is an agent of good, looking to smite evil. She is reasonable in her actions, if overzealous."
710105:36:52: <Rainglove> The cart is retrieved
710205:37:15: <Goatsmith> "Perhaps it is my inability to sense evil, but he did not attack us, after all."
710305:37:45: <Goatsmith> And then everyone is picked up!
710405:39:21: <Rainglove> time to ride along like super friends
710505:39:57: <NachtRuine> Well, not all of us are super friends at the moment.
710605:39:59: <Rainglove> you catch another glimpse of whoever on top of the mountains on the way back, but they vanish and you don't see them again
710705:40:35: <NachtRuine> I DETECT MAGIC
710805:40:35: <NachtRuine> jk
710905:42:09: <Rainglove> you detect yourself
711005:42:10: <Goatsmith> Are their outfits FAMILIAR at all?
711105:42:12: <Rainglove> wow man you p evil
711205:42:20: <Rainglove> nah, you don't get a very good look
711305:42:22: <Rainglove> just dark
711405:42:32: <Rainglove> standard traveling gear from what you can see
711505:42:34: <Rainglove> cloaks and such
711605:42:35: <Goatsmith> Man that's gonna bug him.
711705:46:19: <NachtRuine> Saav is just kinda done with today in general.
711805:47:11: <NachtRuine> He really hopes he made the right call with the invisibul guy.
711905:47:48: <Goatsmith> So we END UP HOME WITH LIMITED COMMUNICATION.
712005:48:01: <Rainglove> WEIGHT OF THE WORLD ON HIS SHOULDERS
712105:48:32: <NachtRuine> If Saav could write music, this is totally a time to do so.
712205:48:44: <Goatsmith> Waakanti stops his cart by the town hall and dismounts, grooming and caring for his camels and such.
712305:52:15: <Goatsmith> He is upset he didn't get to talk to that mage.
712405:52:36: <NachtRuine> Saav sighs and just finds a place to sit nearby, pondering his actions.
712505:56:13: <NachtRuine> Since he's probably close to Waakanti, he looks over to him, lowering his mask since the action is over. "Do you think we made the right call?"
712605:56:17: <Goatsmith> "Well." Waakanti looks around at everyone.
712705:56:45: <Hippocratesi> Aeria's gone into the town hall to pray and shit.
712805:57:31: <Rainglove> She alone
712905:57:39: <Rainglove> There are people there, of course
713005:57:52: <Goatsmith> "The right call?"
713105:58:11: <NachtRuine> "Regarding the invisible being."
713205:58:40: <Goatsmith> "...Telling him we'd meet?"
713305:59:11: <NachtRuine> "Yes, as opposed to just leaving, as Aeria wanted."
713406:00:17: <viejo> Qojo wants to find out if there's a suitable place for Licet or whatever his fuggen name was to stay.
713506:02:09: <Rainglove> lecit
713606:02:18: <Rainglove> probably le meg howse
713706:03:21: <NachtRuine> "I feel like we did, but I am beginning to doubt myself."
713806:03:32: <Goatsmith> "I do, for reasons I stated."
713906:04:07: <NachtRuine> "But what if it is simply a ruse to get us off guard?"
714006:04:24: <Goatsmith> "There is no reason to shut whoever it was out. They could visit us of their own accord, anyway, if he were malicious. We simply invited him."
714106:05:35: <viejo> Qojo directs Lecit there and introduces him and explains the situation.
714206:06:15: <NachtRuine> "A good point. Logically speaking, I still feel I did the right thing, yet my emotions speak otherwise."
714306:06:56: <Rainglove> The mages welcome their arcane brother. Thank god he knows his shit and isn't a sorcerer
714406:08:03: <viejo> "You alright if I leave you here for now? I'd like a chat about the ongoings in that town back there, as I'm sure my... colleagues would as well at some other point."
714506:10:16: <Goatsmith> "Saav, I believe you are, as these people say, being a pussy." Waakanti grooms his camel affectionately. "I believe you let your emotions build under that mask of yours and you become overwhelmed my simple, silly things."
714606:10:33: <Rainglove> Alchebro is fiiiiine
714706:11:30: <Goatsmith> "There is nothing wrong with your actions. Had you not extended the invitation, I would have myself. He may not even come. You have done what can amount to no action, in the end of things."
714806:12:49: <Goatsmith> "Perhaps the blue paladin is upset we consider the offers of evil, but she should consider that there is more to gain than her personal quest for 'good'."
714906:13:22: <Goatsmith> "We may gain an ally who could lead to the 'good' action of freeing that town."
715006:13:33: <NachtRuine> "While with some vulgarity, you have made your point. I will attempt to cease my griping."
715106:14:24: <Goatsmith> "Vulgarity displays passion, which I believe is appropriate for your heightened sense of self."
715206:15:44: <NachtRuine> "My only passion is that of law, and I already attend to it with the very fibers of my being."
715306:16:22: <viejo> Qojo goes off somewhere quieter, by a nice pond, and dips her feet into the cool water. How relaxing.
715406:19:55: <NachtRuine> "Back there, you used my name. It startled me, for I know how your culture is with names."
715506:20:21: <Goatsmith> "And I used it again."
715606:21:40: <NachtRuine> "Is there anything specific which prompted this?"
715706:22:44: <Goatsmith> "I felt enough trust in that moment. You are truly different from those I am used to, and yet we share many things."
715806:24:27: <Goatsmith> "And the people of this land are very loose with their names. Perhaps I have loosened my beliefs, to compensate."
715906:27:42: <NachtRuine> He nods, grunting an understanding grunt. "That is good. I have noticed the similarity in our ideologies as well."
716006:33:29: <Goatsmith> "I would say you and the elf would be the easier ones for me to handle."
716106:34:02: <Goatsmith> "The goblin is kind, but I believe we differ in more things than others."
716206:37:11: <NachtRuine> "Yes, although Nurel and I share our own similarities as well. Although I have not talked much to him as of late."
716306:40:42: <Goatsmith> "Is there a schism?"
716406:42:23: <NachtRuine> "No, at least I would presume not. It has been more a case of work. Nurel as the ruler has lead him to become much busier."
716506:42:59: <Goatsmith> "This would make sense."
716606:48:36: <NachtRuine> "The only reason I am not as busy is likely because I was essentially already doing the work of a Marshal. A head start."

717321:19:42: <Goatwright> Waakanti is wandering through the bandit camp. He decides he should go check on Rotter and see if everyone's doin' okay.
717421:22:08: <Rainglove> well the number of tents has shrunk considerably, but there are still plenty of people there. Rotter's not too hard to find, he's wandering through the tents checkan on people.
717521:24:52: <Goatwright> Waakanti walks up to him, nodding. "Rotter. I see your camp has dwindled."
717621:29:07: <Rainglove> Rotter looks over, surprised. "A bit, people've been drifting into town or going elsewhere."
717721:31:27: <Goatwright> "You are all welcomed into the town itself, if you still do not feel comfortable."
717821:33:45: <Rainglove> He nods. "Comfort's not really the issue, there's just not space. Thanks, though."
717921:36:19: <Goatwright> "You are welcome. How are other things going? Has anyone raised any complaints?"
718021:36:21: <viejo> Can I roll to attempt to start the basic building for a house? (sun)
718121:40:53: <Rainglove> "Nothing anyone can really do anything about. You're buildin' pretty quick, we'll get in there eventually. Things've calmed down an awful lot since the dwarf's been gone."
718221:42:03: <viejo> 1d20+7 engineering to see if she can help out/speed things up
718321:42:03: <Puffgoof> Viejo, engineering to see if she can help out/speed things up: 16 [1d20=9]
718421:42:08: <viejo> nope
718521:42:22: <Rainglove> goat: "Nothing anyone can really do anything about. You're buildin' pretty quick, we'll get in there eventually. Things've calmed down an awful lot since the dwarf's been gone."
718621:45:16: <Goatsmith> "This is good to hear. I am glad we could help. What about you, personally?"
718721:45:32: <viejo> Qojo just decides to help work physically then with her bear hands.
718821:49:29: <Rainglove> He shrugs. "Been doing fine. Keeping an eye on things, same's you, though there's not really much /to/ keep an eye on. Getting out of the mountains did wonders for everyone's disposition."
718921:54:08: <Goatsmith> "Good." He nods, pleased with this knowledge. "Before I leave you, I have one more question."
719021:55:01: <Goatsmith> "Did you ever have any issues with strange figures watching you along the ridges of the mountains? Did you know of anyone else who lived there?"
719121:55:48: <Rainglove> He thinks for a moment. "I heard a few things, but nothing really concrete. Figured it was some sort of undead somethin' from the dwarve's old home. Why?"
719221:57:36: <Goatsmith> "We noticed dark-dressed figures along the ridge once we passed through. They seemed to be watching us."
719322:00:20: <Rainglove> He shrugs. "Plenty of crazies in the world. Long as they don't hurt anyone they're probably fine."
719422:00:50: <Rainglove> He does his level best not to look too hard at waakanti while talking about crazies
719522:02:33: <Goatwright> Quite rude. "Well, alright. Thank you for your time."
719622:05:36: <Rainglove> He nods. "Glad to see you again." And with that he wanders off.
719722:06:05: <Goatwright> And Waakanti is alone.
719822:06:28: <Goatwright> Wondering where that bandit with the rock is.
719922:09:35: <Rainglove> a man wander's past, waakanti's rock floating along behind him, smiley face glowing
720022:14:52: <Goatwright> Waakanti gawks somewhat, quickly approaching him. He gestures at the rock. "Are you...?"
720122:15:46: <Rainglove> The rock does not reply. The man turns around and seems surprised. "Ah, hello. Can I uh..."
720222:17:14: <Goatwright> "Are you the one I gave this boulder to?"
720322:17:24: <Rainglove> He nods nervously.
720422:18:32: <Goatwright> "And you kept onto it?"
720522:18:55: <Rainglove> "Well I uh, figured it wouldn't hurt."
720622:19:46: <Goatwright> Waakanti gives the man a pat on the back. "I am both honored and respectful of this. It has been many weeks. You are a man of good means."
720722:20:34: <Rainglove> He blinks, then looks at the rock. "Do you er, want it back?"
720822:20:52: <Rainglove> he does not want to lose his rock friends
720922:21:22: <Goatwright> "If you wish to part with it, but you seem to have become attached." He notes the smiley face.
721022:23:12: <Rainglove> He nods and pats the rock. "I'd rather hang onto it if you don't need it."
721122:23:33: <Goatwright> "May it serve you well. Do you have a title?"
721222:26:13: <Rainglove> "Willard. And you're that uh, gestalt, right?"
721322:26:55: <Goatwright> He nods. "I am the high priest of this town, now. I am Waakanti. It is a pleasure, Willard."
721422:30:46: <Rainglove> Willard smiles. "A pleasure to meet you as well. Now uh, I do need to..." And then he was sucked into the narrative void because I am laaaaaate
721522:44:09: <viejo> Qoja's busy helping out building shit.
721622:44:20: <viejo> That lithe, sweating body. Ooophf.
721722:44:51: <Goatwright> Gross.
721822:45:02: <Hippocratesi> ew monkey sweat
721922:49:54: <NachtRuine> Saav is probably mediating a legal dispute.

7229
723001:48:42: <Rainglove> The town exists for some reason. wurr u ppl at
723101:50:17: <NachtRuine> Saav is probably filing papers.
723201:50:33: <Benedict> Nurel is in his bedroom, praying to his god Ulinazi. Five rings on strings are tied on his hand, and he twists and turns his hand so the rings click together while he prays. It's stupid goblin shit, don't question.
723301:51:09: <Hippocratesi> Aeria doing something, I dunno, angel stuff.
723401:52:55: <Rainglove> There's a pop in whatever communal room is near all of you, presumably a currently empty section of the town hall. A vaguely familiar evil aura also appears.
723501:54:11: <NachtRuine> Saav's spidey senses are tingling. "It's time. And I didn't prepare the invisibility dispel, dammit." He puts down his work and heads for that communal room.
723601:54:25: <Benedict> Nurel smells that smelly smell that smells very... smelly. Evil. He sighs, praying session having to end early, but does ask Ulinazi one last thing first. "<Am I doing this right, or should I be taking a different path to unite my people?>" He then unties the rings from his fingers, puts them away, and grabs his musket. Shhh! I'm huntin' evil!
723701:55:24: <Hippocratesi> Aeria frowns and silently heads to the communal room, grabbing her greatsword. Who wants to see a head roll?
723801:57:21: <Rainglove> The room is, predictably, empty. Thankfully everyone here can detect both evil and magic to locate the approximate area your invisible friend is in. A voice floats from the room as you enter. "Thank you for allowing me this opportunity to meet with you. Your civility is appreciated."
723901:57:55: <Benedict> Nurel don't remember inviting no EVIL into his town hall.
724001:58:53: <Hippocratesi> "I should cut you down where you stand."
724101:59:39: <NachtRuine> Saav looks to this approximate area. "I do hope you brought a good explanation."
724202:02:15: <Rainglove> "I believe we have something to offer each other. I believe you are on... less than cordial terms with the leaders of the town you visited recently. Should you seek the destruction of those who you fought, I may be able to offer some assistance."
724302:04:45: <Benedict> "The dwarf? Why would I want that? I sensed no evil on him, but you... you reek of it. You offend my goblin nostril hairs, which are burning, thanks to you."
724402:09:28: <NachtRuine> Saav looks to Nurel and Aeria, then back to the approximate area. "While I am inclined to believe you, my friends may need convincing that we, in fact, share a common goal."
724502:12:33: <Benedict> Nurel wishes he was home praying to his god.
724602:13:02: <Rainglove> "I seek the destruction of the same force you do. To that end, our goals are the same. Beyond that, I doubt we will find much common ground."
724702:13:32: <Benedict> "Why do you seek it, when you reek like them? What are you gaining?"
724802:15:47: <Rainglove> "We share a... similar heritage. I am not allied with them. As I have said, I seek their destruction, and that is what I hope to gain."
724902:16:52: <NachtRuine> "Why did the king not detect as evil. I presume you speak of the cult, which surely the king would've at least noticed."
725002:17:58: <Rainglove> "He is unaware of the extent to which they operate. He believes them merely an elite guard, and what he sees is carefully controlled."
725102:20:03: <NachtRuine> "Yes. The guards. Are they the main perpetrators. Did they have something to do with the dark paladin."
725202:20:27: <Benedict> That dark paladin probably hated goblins, too.
725302:20:40: <NachtRuine> he probably hated everything
725402:21:01: <Hippocratesi> "We may have similar goals but that doesn't mean I have to work with you."
725502:22:12: <Rainglove> "You would be foolish not to take advantages where you find them. The guard is unaffiliated with the cult. As far as I have seen they are completely separate."
725602:23:13: <Benedict> "What, exactly, is this cult? What do they worship? What do they want?"
725702:25:02: <Goatsmith> Waakanti is theeeeere
725802:25:33: <Rainglove> There's a pause. "I am unsure of all the answers. They seek the summoning of a lesser god, one I have had disagreements with in the past. What they wish to do with it, I am unsure."
725902:26:27: <Benedict> "You are being quite helpful."
726002:26:43: <Hippocratesi> "Foolish? I'm pushing it as it is working with him." Aeria gestures to Saavou.
726102:26:54: <Hippocratesi> I did not mean to enter that
726202:26:57: <Hippocratesi> IT'S TOO LATE NOW
726302:28:51: <Rainglove> "I have no reason to withhold information. I am seeking your assistance, and I am not so unwise as to give you undue reason not to trust me."
726402:28:54: <Goatsmith> "Does this cult have a leading man?"
726502:29:23: <NachtRuine> Saav appears slightly offended at first, but then considers the fact that his aura is evil (and in fact has gotten stronger lately), so he shrugs it off.
726602:30:40: <Rainglove> "A dwarf, though I know little of him. I believe they originated within the mountains, and that he has been leading for some time. Perhaps since the blast."
726702:32:00: <NachtRuine> A dwarf. That narrows it down.
726802:32:15: <Benedict> It's always fucking dwarves. "It is always dwarves. <Did this magic bang turn goblins good and dwarves bad?>"
726902:32:54: <NachtRuine> >implying. "How would you suggest going about dispelling the cult. Cutting off the head, perhaps."
727002:35:19: <Goatsmith> "And it is a different dwarf from the leader of your town?"
727102:35:36: <Rainglove> The air almost smiles. "That is why I have come to you now. There is a ritual they will be performing, sometime soon. They will all be gathered together, and they will be performing magic that is... unstable, to say the least. Disrupting this ritual would be a very effective way of thinning their numbers."
727202:39:11: <Benedict> "And interrupting this ritual will do absolutely no harm to anyone in the town? I highly doubt that, and I do not like you coming here, with your stink of an aura, telling me to kill people, evil people to be sure, but giving me no info, just saying "Hey, kill things, it'll all work out". I want names. I want faces. Get those first."
727302:39:34: <Benedict> "And again, I highly doubt you are doing this for no reason. Do you have a cult in town and you want to take over?"
727402:40:29: <Goatsmith> Waakanti perks up a bit, looking at Saav. "I believe we have learned a way to disrupt magic."
727502:40:38: <Hippocratesi> "Nurel is right. You certainly have more to gain from this than simply wiping them out."
727602:43:21: <NachtRuine> Saav looks to the palapair. "His reason is that he does not desire a smaller god to be summoned. Given our experience there, it would likely be very bad for us. That said, the giant and I are indeed capable of disruption. But I want to make sure that innocent casualties are minimal. None preferably."
727702:43:44: <Benedict> "None at all."
727802:44:07: <Hippocratesi> "Are we truly working with him?"
727902:45:16: <Goatsmith> Now that Saav mentions it.. "What is the name of this god?"
728002:45:25: <NachtRuine> "I am saying we are capable of it. If your moral chords are still struck, then you do not have to come. But know that we have enough problems without a cult's god on this plane."
728102:45:28: <Benedict> Nurel already asked.
728202:49:30: <Rainglove> "I do not believe townsfolk will be near. The ritual itself will be performed a fair distance away from the town, in a lightly wooded area. The town itself should be far enough from the blast to be unharmed. As for my seeking to seize the town... I have no use for a mortal following." He sounds almost disgusted by the idea.
728302:51:28: <Benedict> Nurel gets a random idea in his head. "Are you one of Cath'paz's followers?"
728402:52:10: <Rainglove> "We have had... dealings. I am not overly fond of associating with those who call themselves gods."
728502:52:23: <Rainglove> Different kind of disgust in his voice now
728602:52:47: <Benedict> "And if this cult is removed? You will leave the town be and move on?"
728702:53:15: <Goatsmith> "You do not speak as a man does. You speak as though you yourself are a god."
728802:54:49: <Rainglove> "I cannot promise I will never return. My life is rather long. I am no god, and I do not claim such things."
728902:55:42: <Hippocratesi> "What are you then?"
729002:55:57: <Benedict> This is probably the best Nurel is going to get, if this cult thing is true. "Get us a map that leads to a path that will let us sneak up on the cult. Their god will not enter this world." King's word is LAW.
729102:56:40: <NachtRuine> Pft.
729202:59:40: <Rainglove> "I prefer to keep other's knowledge of myself to a minimum. For now, we share a goal, and that is all that we must know of each other. I will show you, if you will permit me."
729302:59:54: <Rainglove> 'show you' in response to where the people are
729403:00:32: <Benedict> Nurel looks to his advisers for what they think.
729503:01:03: <Hippocratesi> Aeria's frowning INTENSIFIES.
729603:03:04: <NachtRuine> Saav sees the discontent of Aeria. "You may show me. I will convey the information to our more good-minded."
729703:03:52: <Goatsmith> "I am similarly willing to risk."
729803:05:27: <Benedict> "Show... how?"
729903:05:37: <Benedict> Nurel doesn't know what's happening.
730003:06:46: <Rainglove> "I will take you there, temporarily. Seeing the area ahead of time may be enlightening. I will caution you, if you are not prepared, you may suffer a certain amount of temporary sickness."
730103:07:29: <Benedict> "I suppose I will go. I'd prefer for my advisers to not get sick."
730203:08:20: <NachtRuine> "I've nearly been sucked into the ether before. Illness is nothing compared to that."
730303:08:55: <Hippocratesi> "I will go too, I guess."
730403:10:06: <Rainglove> "I will do what I can to soften the journey." Whoever agreed to go, something vaguely hand-shaped presses into your chest, but it's... not quite a hand. What feel like fingers protrude at odd angles from the palm, and the number of fingers where they should be is all wrong.
730503:10:27: <Benedict> Nurel is not aroused.
730603:10:53: <NachtRuine> I've seen enough hentai to know where this is going.
730703:11:32: <Rainglove> You flash into darkness, and moments later the world flashes back into being around you. You're in what seems to be an empty, lightly wooded area. Symbols are carved into various trees, and one area has been magically deforested, entirely devoid of any sort of life.
730803:11:55: <Rainglove> The city is visible in the distance.
730903:12:26: <Rainglove> The hands withdraw.
731003:12:40: <NachtRuine> Saav looks at the symbols, shaking his head of the feeling of teleportation. He'll never get used to that.
731103:13:26: <Benedict> Nurel also looks at the symbols. Would a religion roll tell him what god these cultists are summoning?
731203:13:37: <Rainglove> You can try, as can anyone else with K religion
731303:13:54: <Hippocratesi> 1d20+6
731403:13:54: <Puffgoof> Hippocratesi, 1d20+6: 23 [1d20=17]

731703:13:57: <Puffgoof> NachtRuine, muh ligion: 9 [1d20=1]
731803:13:57: <NachtRuine> 1d20+8 muh ligion
731903:14:04: <Goatsmith> is it about goats?
732003:14:41: <Benedict> Uh, wait, what's my religion again? Hold on.
732103:14:59: <Benedict> 1d20+7 Here we go. Time to fail.
732203:14:59: <Puffgoof> Benedict, Here we go. Time to fail.: 19 [1d20=12]
732303:17:29: <Rainglove> Aeria, you don't recognize the exact god, but this is a neutral evil whatever it is.
732403:17:41: <Rainglove> Saav they seem to be trying to summon a giant rubber ducky
732503:17:49: <Rainglove> Waakanti they worship soap
732603:18:04: <Goatsmith> Waakanti understands.
732703:18:14: <Benedict> Nurel learns nothing.
732803:18:29: <Rainglove> Nurel you get the same shit aeria does.
732903:18:42: <Benedict> What a lame-ass god.
733003:22:04: <NachtRuine> Saav considers this possibility, but marks it off as general retardation. "I cannot make out these runes."
733103:23:56: <Benedict> Nurel continues to look for a path that would lead them from Town? to here.
733203:24:13: <Rainglove> It's mostly open field nurel. You could just walk.
733303:24:19: <Rainglove> getting here unseen might be a problem.
733403:24:50: <Goatwright> "Saav."
733503:25:14: <Benedict> 1d20+8 Perception roll. Is there any path that would keep them hidden until they got close?
733603:25:16: <Puffgoof> Benedict, Perception roll. Is there any path that would keep them hidden until they got close?: 23 [1d20=15]
733703:25:43: <NachtRuine> "Yes, giant."
733803:26:13: <Goatwright> "You give off an aura of evil, yes?"
733903:26:41: <NachtRuine> "Yes, as much as I would rather it not. Why."
734003:27:13: <Goatwright> "As do these cultists. And you know how to disrupt their magic, as I."
734103:27:36: <Rainglove> You see one clearly marked trail, and the edges are lined with fairly high wild grass. Not much protection against being seen. Odds are some sort of invisibility would help greatly, since you're likely outside of hearing range.
734203:27:55: <NachtRuine> "I know how to, but I did not anticipate this happening today. I do not have the proper spells prepared."
734303:28:51: <Rainglove> The invisiguy speaks up. "You have several days, at least, before the ritual occurs. This is merely preparation. Destroying this area serves little purpose if all are not gathered here."
734403:30:10: <Benedict> But the wild grass might be good for Nurel. How far is the wild grass?
734503:30:29: <Goatwright> Waakanti nods. "And will you be aiding us directly?"
734603:30:31: <Rainglove> it lines the trail from the town to the forest. The whole way.
734703:31:05: <Benedict> And tell enough to cover Nurel?
734803:31:10: <Rainglove> yeah
734903:31:48: <Rainglove> "I could offer my assistance, although I would prefer to remain unseen. Should my martial prowess be required, I will offer it, though I hope it will not."
735003:31:51: <Benedict> Perfect. Nurel decides to test this by going into the wild grass and hiding.
735103:31:56: <Benedict> 1d20+13 This is something a kid would do.
735203:31:56: <Puffgoof> Benedict, This is something a kid would do.: 33 [1d20=20]
735303:32:05: <Benedict> Nurel disappears forever.
735403:32:11: <Rainglove> he finds garret's nose
735503:32:54: <Benedict> Nurel holds up the lone dwarven nose he finds in the grass. How curious. "This grass will do me well. I can sneak up on them, maybe shoot the head cultist between the eyes." He's hidden! Better use that perception if you want to find him!
735603:35:09: <NachtRuine> "Then I should have plenty of time to prepare the disruption. I sense you've come up with a plan, giant."
735703:36:03: <Goatwright> "Perhaps. Hiddeb goblin, you still have flasks to see the strings your goblin witch friend had shown us, yes?"
735803:37:54: <Benedict> Avi gave Nurel potions to see those strings? Did she, Rain?
735903:38:18: <Goatwright> She better, Waakanti told him to fucking get some. >:[
736003:38:31: <Goatwright> How would they fix fields if they can't see the shit to fix them you DUMB GOBLIN
736103:38:43: <Rainglove> yeah benny
736203:38:57: <Benedict> NUREL WAS THINKING WITH HIS PENIS AT THAT TIME, WAAK.
736303:38:59: <Benedict> GODS.
736403:39:07: <NachtRuine> THINK WITH YOUR HEAD NUREL
736503:39:17: <Goatwright> YOUR OTHER HEAD
736603:39:26: <Benedict> "Yes. They are in my room. Why?" Nurel is thinking about that QT now. He thinks with both heads.
736703:46:15: <NachtRuine> "Giant, where is this going."
736803:47:44: <Goatwright> Waakanti sits down and rubs his beard. "I am pondering the goods and the bads of this plan."
736903:48:38: <Benedict> "What plan? If this plan involves the potions, I am going to disagree with it. Last time, Saav almost faded from existence. What would happen this time? We just speed along the summoning?"
737003:50:14: <NachtRuine> Saav crosses his arms, mumbling, "Still bet I could probably do it if I had time, but still not going to try." He almost sounds pouty behind the mask.
737103:50:52: <Goatwright> He holds his hand up. "You are ruler, and out of your comfort, but please let me speak, first."
737203:51:31: <Benedict> Nurel steps out of hiding with that odd dwarven nose, then nods his head. He is listening.
737303:51:39: <Benedict> Seriously, who loses a -nose-?
737403:51:53: <Goatwright> An undead. :^)
737503:53:24: <Goatwright> "When I was examining these strands, I had noticed they gave off a sense of good or evil. One I could recognize, at least somewhat." He looks to Nurel. "When you and Saav did the same, you saw strands touched by your gods. Strong indicators of their likely alignment."
737603:53:47: <Goatwright> "Now," he continues, looking at Aeria and pointing at her.
737703:54:49: <Goatwright> "She is one touched by other worlds herself. Touched by gods. And worshipper of one, at that. She can see strands not only touched by her gods, but ones we know are good, and ones who, if a creature comes through, may recognize her as their own."
737803:55:13: <Goatwright> "This good is a natural opposer to evil. It is a powerful solution."
737903:56:04: <Rainglove> The invisivoice speaks up once again. "Should you wish to summon such a creature, I will not be able to offer my assistance. I will not risk such injury."
738003:57:02: <Goatwright> "This poses such a threat to Saav, as well, but we are not so powerful as to take on a whole cult... a single man nearly killed our two."
738103:57:54: <NachtRuine> "I likely would be unable to even attend. My aura may linger."
738203:58:34: <Goatwright> "We need an upper hand. This is an option, at least to consider, until another arises."
738303:58:37: <Benedict> "Does the invisible one mean to offer his aid, so long as we do no summon a creature?"
738403:59:08: <Benedict> Nurel thinks for a moment. "If taking on the whole cult is a problem, we could see about bringing Rotter's band to assist us in the fighting, or convincing the guards in that other town to protect and serve."
738504:00:10: <Goatwright> "This is what I am attempting to avoid. This provides more room for casualty."
738604:00:48: <Rainglove> "I would, though I would prefer not to be used in such a manner. Their warriors are not well suited to fighting one such as I. All will be in vain if some flee before they are destroyed, though, and while I may teleport freely, I cannot kill them all."
738704:01:01: <Rainglove> in response to the question about offering help
738804:02:54: <Goatwright> He thinks about that. "If we do not wish to use that plan, then perhaps a trap using our ally."
738904:05:38: <NachtRuine> "Why not simply tamper with their materials."
739004:07:25: <NachtRuine> "With some help with our alchemist friend, wolfsbane dust replaced by, say, something volatile. Poof."
739104:08:54: <Goatwright> Waakanti sits for a few moments, then shrugs. Sometimes the easier solutions are the wisest. "I suppose so. You would be able to sneak in and perform this exchange, I assume. Then our ally and we may pick off the survivors."
739204:09:21: <Benedict> "How large would this explosion be, though? I don't want to risk harming the town."
739304:10:04: <Goatwright> "We are quite far out."
739404:10:28: <NachtRuine> "I'm sure the alchemist will size it properly." Saav looks to Waakanti. "Why do you suggest that I am best capable of sneaking in."
739504:10:52: <NachtRuine> "Will they not realize that I am not of their cult."
739604:11:26: <Goatwright> "You detect as evil."
739704:11:26: <Goatwright> "You wore a mask."
739804:12:47: <NachtRuine> "I also detect as lawful. Would it not be best for the sneakiest among us to go in undetected rather than attempt to fool them."
739904:14:36: <Benedict> 1d20+4 Nurel wishes he was home so he can use his alchemy equipment at home to figure out something that would ruin this ritual and end it with a bang.
740004:14:36: <Puffgoof> Benedict, Nurel wishes he was home so he can use his alchemy equipment at home to figure out something that would ruin this ritual and end it with a bang.: 12 [1d20=8]
740104:15:20: <Goatwright> "I wonder if such a thing as that is why the invisible one couldn't do such a thing himself."
740204:15:31: <Rainglove> they probably wouldn't notice if you just stuck a bomb up there nurel
740304:16:10: <Benedict> Nurel will need bombs, then.
740404:16:19: <Rainglove> "I will not be approaching the ritual. Magic which draws outsiders... does not sit well with me."
740504:16:42: <Benedict> 1d20+13 Nurel goes back to sneaking in the high grass.
740604:16:42: <Puffgoof> Benedict, Nurel goes back to sneaking in the high grass.: 26 [1d20=13]
740704:17:27: <NachtRuine> "If you all truly feel that I am better fit than, say, Nurel, who has just disappeared as if to proclaim his sneakiness, then I shall go."
740804:17:36: <Puffgoof> NachtRuine, icunurel: 20 [1d20=7]
740904:17:36: <NachtRuine> 1d20+13 icunurel
741004:17:42: <NachtRuine> i dont see you nurel
741104:17:55: <Goatwright> 1d20+12 Do I?
741204:17:55: <Puffgoof> Goatwright, Do I?: 18 [1d20=6]
741304:18:02: <Goatwright> noep
741404:18:14: <Goatwright> "Perhaps the goblin king can sneak in, then."
741504:18:24: <Goatwright> "He seems adept at such in this field."
741604:19:17: <Benedict> "That is why I went into the field. I would prefer to risk myself over risking one of you."
741704:22:15: <Goatwright> "I suppose it is decided, then."
741804:22:19: <NachtRuine> "Noble. It seems our plan is set: prepare appropriate explosives, replace their materials, wait for the obvious signal, then finish off the survivors. Any dissenters should speak now."
741904:25:22: <Rainglove> The invisible one stirs. "I shall return you, if you are decided. I have stayed with you for far too long."
742004:25:48: <Goatwright> "I believe we are."
742104:26:35: <NachtRuine> "We appreciate your assistance."
742204:27:10: <Rainglove> Touch touch woosh, back to the hall
742304:27:37: <Rainglove> As the world spins back into place around you, the evil fades away.
742404:28:35: <Benedict> Nurel still smells EVIL in the air.
742504:28:55: <Goatwright> It might be Saav.
742604:28:55: <NachtRuine> Yes. One source of evil fades, yet another remains in this very room.
742704:29:30: <Benedict> Diiiiisgusting. "Well, I guess that is that. Back to work." Nurel says, but then just heads to his room for some PRAYING.
742804:30:00: <Rainglove> is that what the kids are calling it these days?
742904:30:58: <Benedict> Yes. Because he is literally praying to his god. Once he is in the room, he kicks the door shut, ties those rings on strings to his fingers, and clicks the rings together as he prays to Ulinazi for guidance.
743004:31:12: <Goatwright> Waakanti stands there awkwardly.
743104:32:03: <NachtRuine> Saav can feel his own aura, which is a weird thing since it usually doesn't really exert itself on his senses. He looks to Waakanti, lowering his mask. "Giant. I can feel my aura. I am not used to this. Has it become stronger to you?"
743204:33:21: <Benedict> It's okay, Saav. Nurel had his own equally strong aura of GOOD. This is probably going to make the whole sneaking thing difficult.
743304:33:25: <Goatwright> "I cannot tell such things."
743404:33:41: <Goatwright> "I believe this is for the best."
743504:34:24: <NachtRuine> Saav nods. "Yes, it probably is. I will ask the more morally inclined members when I get the chance."
743604:35:28: <Goatwright> He nods himself. Nigga ain't even aware of his oozing lawfulness.
743704:35:36: <Benedict> Nurel prays in his normal speaking tone for guidance. At least he's speaking in Goblin so no one has to hear him ask his god if he's taking the right path so far in uniting his people.
743804:36:50: <Rainglove> Nurel, you don't really get a firm "YES", but you get a feeling of peace. You haven't fucked up too badly.
743904:37:27: <Benedict> Good to know. Thank you, Ulinazi!
744004:40:09: <NachtRuine> mor liek
744104:40:14: <NachtRuine> U Lie, Nazi!
744204:42:17: <NachtRuine> With that, Saav leaves. Although he does remain curious about something. He goes into his room and meditates, calling out to Cath'paz to ask of his involvement regarding the cult, and whether destroying them is the right call.
744304:44:35: <Rainglove> Nacht, you don't really get a response one way or the other. You /do/ feel that that one thing he needs you to do is about to be called in, and soon.
744404:47:11: <NachtRuine> Dread overcomes Saav as his mind races of what he may be expected to do, and whether such actions will lose him the trust of his colleagues.
744504:47:41: <Benedict> You must kill Nurel.
744605:54:20: <NachtRuine> Saav paces the halls, obviously in deep thought given his recent meditation. He mumbles to himself worries of what's to come.
744705:56:05: <Rainglove> A man wanders through the town, whistling cheerily as he leads his horse. He raps on the door with a gauntleted hand, marveling at the sheer number of people around him.
744805:56:15: <Rainglove> Door to the town hall*, hrk
744905:57:55: <NachtRuine> How opportune it is that Saav be right there. Also why are the doors closed, it's not closing time yet. But regardless, Saav opens the door and looks to the man. "Hello. Do you require assistance."
745006:00:13: <Rainglove> Azrael's surprised by the mask. And the eeeeeviiiiil. "Ah, no. I'd heard that you might, actually, and was coming to offer my services. Although looking around..." He looks around. "You seem to be doing fine, so I may've been mistaken."
745106:01:12: <NachtRuine> Saav tries to give off a more lawful aura, but is not exactly sure how to. "What services do you provide."
745206:06:52: <Rainglove> He raps a fist against his plated chest. "I am a warrior, and recently a cleric. While I prefer to act as a defender for those I fight beside, my own ability to fight is nothing to sneeze at. I bring strength to my allies and death to my foes. And I suppose I can ride a horse, if you need that done."
745306:08:39: <NachtRuine> "You are gestalt. Odd how easily this city attracts such people. Come in, we are always in need of adventurers." He moves out of the way to allow the man clearance.
745406:11:39: <Rainglove> He enters, looking around. He'd detect as noticeably chaotic good, if that impacts saav at all. "And you seem to be as well, though I think I've heard more about you than you have about me. You're the one who gives the speeches and frees the people?"
745506:15:37: <NachtRuine> He frowns behind his mask at the chaos, but is, for some reason, pleasantly surprised to hear his reputation. "I gave the speech, yes. I claim no credit in writing it, however. It was a group effort to put in place the revolution. But we are not here for me. What can you bring to the table."
745606:19:28: <Rainglove> Azrael gestures to himself. "Only my fighting ability, and what magic my god gives me. I'm... pretty bad with words. By no means a leaderly type. I bring my sword, my shield, and my soldiering knowledge. What do you /want/ me to bring to the table?"
745706:23:33: <NachtRuine> "You might find that many of our cabinet members are fighters or clerics. I, myself, am the latter. However, we are becoming engrossed in our work here, and sometimes cannot afford to go out adventuring. You may be a welcome addition."
745806:25:30: <Rainglove> He nods. "Well that's a pleasure to hear, I've spent far too long drifting. What sort of uh, adventuring do you do?" He's not directly asking about Saav's being FUGGEN EBIL, but it's pretty obvious that's part of the question.
745906:29:33: <NachtRuine> "I sense curiosity as to my auras. I assure you that I am not evil, just a victim of circumstance. As for the group, we have been trying to build up our own little corner of safety and order in an unsafe world. It is... Much more difficult than one might think."
746006:34:46: <Rainglove> Azrael's more or less reassured. "Fair enough. What sort of problems've you been having around here? I'd imagine bandits are an issue."
746106:36:46: <NachtRuine> "Actually, we were able to get some of the bandits to come into the town once we took power, so no real issues there. We've attempted to trade with the northern town, but that didn't quite go so well." Saav snaps. "Oh yes. Before I go on any further, I require something of you."
746206:37:21: <Rainglove> "Fire away."
746306:40:53: <NachtRuine> "No, wait. That's for incoming cabinet members. Never mind. I was going to have you under a truthtelling spell to make sure you weren't a saboteur, but I think for our purposes, my own wits will do just fine. That said, what is your name."
746406:42:32: <Rainglove> "I'm Azrael. If some sort of truth spell would make you feel better, I'd be fine with it. I've been told I'm a miserable liar."
746506:44:50: <NachtRuine> "It is not part of the standard operating procedure which I have just created, and I would like to stick with it." Saav writes something down on a nearby piece of paper. "Where do you come from."
746606:46:15: <Rainglove> "Everywhere, sort of. Little nomadic group around the middle of the continent, the Ashiri. Dunno if you've ever heard of them."
746706:48:49: <NachtRuine> "There are many places I have not heard of and that is one." He scribbles something down. "What led you here."
746806:50:06: <Rainglove> "Heard there was some city building going on with some people in charge who didn't have their heads up their asses. Figured if I wanted to be anywhere, it was there."
746906:55:05: <NachtRuine> "Good to know we have favorable opinions floating about," he says as he writes more. "What is your wo - " More scribbling. "Alright, last one. Do you swear, under the highest authority of the law, to only act for the betterment of society, and to protect it, should the need arise."
747006:55:34: <Rainglove> "Of course, that's what I'm here for."
747107:00:18: <NachtRuine> "Just a formality," he says as he scribbles more and more. With a final flourish, he hands the paper off to Azrael and says, "Give this to the office down the hall when we're done, and you should get a card verifying that you are a prospective gestalt adventurer. You'll be official once the cabinet's had words with you."
747207:02:55: <Rainglove> Azrael accepts the flourished card. "Gladly. I'll go handle that now. Unless you need me for anything else?"
747307:04:11: <NachtRuine> "Unless you had other questions or just wanted to chat, that'd be all."
747407:06:16: <Rainglove> "Maybe later. For now... travel is killer. Thank you for seeing me."
747507:06:20: <Rainglove> And with that he departs.
747621:51:30: <NachtRuine> Saav is going around from place to place, filing papers here and there, carrying papers to and fro, general busy work.
747721:52:10: <viejo> Qoja is getting hands-on and helping out with building. Thatta gal.
747821:54:57: <Rainglove> Azrael's... around. Presumably near the town hall but wherever people are.
747921:55:29: <Hippocratesi> Aeria is praying in her room, as most paladins do.
748021:56:02: <viejo> Great session guys - same time next week.
748121:56:25: <NachtRuine> Same Kingmaker place, same Kingmaker time!
748221:56:26: <Hippocratesi> About that
748321:56:45: <Hippocratesi> Might not be here, gotta yu gi oh tournament
748421:56:53: <NachtRuine> (ooc plas)
748521:59:37: <NachtRuine> Saav's paper moving takes him out to where people are building, whereupon he spots Qoja. "Qojo. I must inform you of something."
748622:00:31: <viejo> "Give me a couple... a few seconds!" She finishes helping put something in place then goes on over. "Yeah? Somethin' up?"
748722:01:34: <Hippocratesi> Aeria awakens from her coma and walks out of the town hall. And there she sees Azrael! Talk about a coincidence. She approaches him. "I haven't seen your face before, are you new here?"
748822:03:34: <NachtRuine> "Another gestalt came by our hall last night. Given our recent strain regarding our own adventuring, I signed him up to be a potential replacement should I, you, or someone else be incapable of going. He will not be official until he has talked to the rest of us, and this naturally includes you."
748922:04:32: <viejo> Qoja raises her hands into the air before they slap limply on her thighs. "Man, I swear we aren't even gonna be that rare or special at this rate!"
749022:05:01: <Rainglove> Holy shit there are non-evil people here. Azrael nods to her. "Just came in a little bit ago, having a look around. Talked to ah..." He digs for the name. "Saavou, but other'n that haven't really met anyone."
749122:05:16: <viejo> "I hope he's a mixture of professional backrubber and footmassager. That'd be real nice right about now."
749222:07:03: <Hippocratesi> "Well it's nice to have you with us. I'm Aeria. I'm guessing you're gestalt as well?"
749322:07:08: <NachtRuine> "He appeared to be a fighting cleric sort. Had a rather chaotic aura about him, but he agreed to follow the town's laws. I did not enchant him since he wouldn't be part of the cabinet, but I did not sense any deception when I filled out the form for him."
749422:07:38: <NachtRuine> "Also there is now a form for this. If someone comes by looking to be an adventurer, you are to fill it out for them."
749522:08:25: <viejo> Qoja laughs. "Oh I bet that aura ruffled your feathers right up. There's your new hobby! A constant, watchful eye on him and if he's following..." She pauses dramatically. "The laaaaw!"
749622:08:41: <viejo> "Why? For what purpose?"
749722:09:23: <Rainglove> Azrael nods. "So they tell me. Pleasure to meet you, my name's Azrael. So uh, what do you do around here?"
749822:10:24: <NachtRuine> "Streamlining, and to make it easier to keep track of. They will turn in the form and receive a card of certification, which is stamped for authenticity. Once we all agree on them being suitable, they will be officially brought in and allowed to replace any one of us, should the need arise."
749922:11:00: <viejo> "I see you found your new hobby then. How many damn forms am I gonna have to fill out?"
750022:12:06: <NachtRuine> "I assure you the paperwork is minimal. A five-question battery is all. The real test is of our acceptance."
750122:12:34: <viejo> Qoja 'hmmmm's.
750222:13:00: <viejo> "Well, I'm part of the 'cabinet' so the bar isn't really set all too high!" She laughs.
750322:13:25: <Hippocratesi> "Azrael." Aeria puts the name in her brain. "I'm the diplomat. I try to do my job well but sometimes...things happen, I'll leave it at that. Our leader is Nurel, though I'm sure you've already heard about him. He's rather busy lately."
750422:13:49: <viejo> "'Be able to tie your shoelaces,' 'eat without dribbling,' 'blink with both eyes at the same time,' 'walk straight for at least ten metres,' 'understand the difference between a knife and fork.'"
750522:13:53: <viejo> She laughs more.
750622:15:54: <NachtRuine> Saav chuckles, but behind the mask, it sounds dead. "His name is Azrael." He describes his physical appearance. "If you see him, stop him and talk to him, then let me know how you feel about his abilities and mannerisms."
750722:16:01: <Rainglove> "I've heard a little about him, not much. Little bit odd to see a goblin as a king, but enh."
750822:18:17: <Hippocratesi> "I thought it odd as well but he's good-hearted, I'm sure he'll lead us to a good future."
750922:18:22: <Hippocratesi> "Do you uh, need help with anything?"
751022:19:00: <viejo> "His mannerisms? O-kay! Want me to suss this guy out now?"
751122:19:49: <Rainglove> "Actually yes. You lot got somewhere I can sleep? I haven't got much, but it'd be nice to have somewhere to keep it."
751222:21:09: <NachtRuine> "If you desire to, but I do not know of his location. He may be within the town hall. I must get back to my paper-moving, but I will come see you later, to ask of him. If I do not stumble upon the two of you talking, that is." He chuckles lightly, but still dead, as he walks off to continue his busy work.
751322:21:38: <Hippocratesi> "We may have a few rooms free in the town hall, I'll have to ask Saavou to be sure. If not, we can make room for you somewhere!"
751422:23:11: <viejo> Qoja pats her hands down, all sweaty and shit. May as well find this new faggo- guy.
751522:25:06: <Rainglove> "Much appreciated, walking around in plate gets a bit... restrictive. I'll be seeing you, then?"
751622:26:17: <Hippocratesi> "I was hoping to get you situated at least?"
751722:27:10: <viejo> -cheesy seductive music-
751822:27:19: <viejo> Probably played by Bear.
751922:27:35: <Rainglove> He contains the eyebrow waggle. "That'd probably go over better than my just demanding a room." Presumably they set off TOGETHER
752022:28:13: <Hippocratesi> UHHHHHHHHH
752122:28:19: <Hippocratesi> ARE THERE ROOMS AVAILABLE?
752222:28:32: <NachtRuine> yeah sure why not
752322:28:43: <Rainglove> none, anywhere
752422:28:49: <Rainglove> there are no more rooms int the world
752522:31:57: <Hippocratesi> Aeria shows him to a free room! "Lucky for you, this is our last one." She opens the door. "Nothing fancy but it'll satisfy your needs."
752622:32:20: <Rainglove> WHIRLWIND OF ROOM ENTERING
752722:32:22: <Rainglove> WOOSH

753300:19:17: <viejo> Ormunt is busy getting swoll underground.
753400:19:46: <NachtRuine> goddammit vejo
753500:20:02: <viejo> 1d20 is he lifting gud?
753600:20:02: <Puffgoof> Viejo, is he lifting gud?: 20 [1d20=20]
753700:20:28: <viejo> :^)
753800:21:56: <NachtRuine> Saav is, in fact, not underground, but is rather above it, and happily so. Sharing in this above-groundedness is a chair, in which he is sitting and relaxing.
753900:25:23: <Goatwright> Waakanti comes in and ruins Saav's relaxation. "Orc."
754000:27:57: <NachtRuine> He looks to Waakanti. "Giant." Mask lowering. "We have a new gestalt around, named Azrael. When you see him, let me know your opinion."
754100:38:21: <Goatwright> "Of what people is this gestalt?"
754200:41:04: <NachtRuine> "Human. Originally nomadic, but decided to settle here since we know what we're doing, according to him."
754300:43:06: <Goatwright> "Human.." He rubs his chin.
754400:43:19: <Goatwright> Less vile than most of the party, he supposes. So he shrugs.
754500:43:59: <NachtRuine> "I signed him up as an adventurer, so when one of us are obligated to stay, they will fill in. Or at least, he will once he's verified by everyone. That includes you."
754600:45:43: <Goatwright> Waakanti frowns. "I will be obligated to stay?"
754700:47:14: <NachtRuine> "It is a precaution. We do not know when urgencies will come up, and it is imprudent to send the cabinet out shorthanded."
754800:47:38: <Goatwright> He seems quite uncomfortable with this.
754900:50:09: <NachtRuine> Saav notices this. "Given the nature of your job, I do not expect it. But for those like Nurel and myself, we may be overcome by the obligations of our positions."
755000:51:13: <Goatwright> "This is good, then."
755100:52:05: <NachtRuine> "I still would like your opinion of him, when you get the chance. To make sure that I did not misjudge his character."
755200:53:53: <Hippocratesi> Aeria comes in to interrupt the conversation. "Hello, Nikli. Saavou."
755300:54:44: <Goatwright> "I will provide as such." He turns to see Aeria! "Hello, blue one."
755400:55:35: <NachtRuine> "Aeria. I was just telling the giant that we have a new gestalt, and he should be able to replace one of us when we go adventuring, once everyone verifies him."
755500:57:33: <Hippocratesi> "I've actually met Azrael already, he left a good first impression. I couldn't find you earlier so I gave him one of our empty rooms."
755600:59:24: <Goatwright> "I believe we will need to begin expanding quicker than we have, with our structures."
755701:00:53: <NachtRuine> "That is fine," he says as he rifles through his pockets for a paper, then pulls out a list of the others, and puts a checkmark next to Aeria's name. "And I must agree, giant. This city attracts gestalt like flies to vinegar."
755801:03:02: <Hippocratesi> "While new additions are always welcome, they aren't guaranteed to have the best intentions. Azrael won't be an issue but we should still be careful."
755901:05:06: <NachtRuine> "Of course. When I asked him my battery of questions, however, I did not sense any deceit. That said, there is a form for incoming adventurers. If an adventurer comes in and desires to be an adventurer, please fill it out so they can be properly kept track of."
756001:05:42: <NachtRuine> "It is a short form, so the process shouldn't be muddled by too much paperwork. I have enough to deal with as is."
756101:06:19: <Hippocratesi> "I understand. I'll keep them in mind if any others come."
756201:08:50: <NachtRuine> "You have my appreciation."
756301:17:04: <NachtRuine> Saav leans back in his chair. "I am surprised at the progress we have made so far, however. It has been quick work."
756401:19:07: <Hippocratesi> "It will only get harder, especially as we grow bigger."
756501:21:10: <NachtRuine> Were Saav more salacious, he might comment on that particular wording. Since he is not, he instead says, "Yes. I do not expect to be able to sit here and relax over time. Which I am used to, yet I am slowly becoming accustomed to being able to relax."
756601:28:02: <Hippocratesi> Aeria finds a feat for herself. "I may be getting a bit lazy myself. I spend far too much time in my room."
756701:29:48: <NachtRuine> "Out of curiosity, what is it that you do that would cause you to be there for so long? Prayer?"
756801:31:19: <Hippocratesi> "Prayer and meditation."
756901:31:39: <Hippocratesi> "It's...calming."
757001:33:19: <NachtRuine> "I'm aware of meditation's benefits, for I do it myself. Not so much for prayer, but that's a personal issue."
757101:36:49: <Hippocratesi> "I see, I won't pry."
757201:39:16: <NachtRuine> "You needn't pry, for my aura and my mannerisms should give off enough of an answer." He sighs. "That said, going out for an occasional walk does wonders, even if you'd prefer to pray all day."
757301:43:54: <Hippocratesi> "A walk, huh?" She leans back. "I used to take walks all the time back home. Not too sure what happened to that."
757402:07:00: <NachtRuine> "Take it up again. Gives you outside time, lets people talk to you without having to rely on coincidence."
757502:11:17: <Hippocratesi> "I think I will. It isn't healthy to be stuck in a room all-day."
757602:15:08: <NachtRuine> "'Tisn't. Luckily enough for me, in a manner of speaking, my work has shifted from sitting and writing all day to moving about papers and arbitrating."
757702:43:31: <Rainglove> Azrael comes down from wherever, notably less heavily armored, and begins the search for PEOPLE.
757802:46:37: <Hippocratesi> Saavou has mysteriously faded out of existence. Aeria is still sitting in the chair. I DUNNO WHERE THEY WERE, I'M ASSUMING THE TOWN HALL OR SOMETHIN'.
757902:49:57: <Rainglove> Well, the lawful paladin'll have to do. Azrael drops down into whatever seat was occupied by Saav's now mysteriously vanished self. "I'm really having the damndest time actually finding the people I'm supposed to be meeting with."
758002:52:16: <Goatwright> Waakanti wanders into the room. He spots the human. "You must be the new one."
758102:55:20: <Rainglove> Azrael nods. "Pleasure to meet you, name's Azrael. I don't believe I know your name."
758202:56:32: <Goatwright> "Most do not. I have been granted the title of Nikli. You may call me this." He gives him a nod.
758302:56:38: <Hippocratesi> oh god sorry
758402:59:16: <Hippocratesi> Aeria awakens from her coma. "Oh, Azrael! I see you've met Nikli?"
758502:59:39: <Rainglove> "Well, glad to meet you. What is it you do around here?" He nods somewhat confusedly at Aeria, confirming the blatantly obvious.
758603:02:28: <Goatwright> "I am the high priest of this small town. I help those with religious squabbles and settle them."
758703:04:02: <Rainglove> "Does religious fighting happen very often here?"
758803:04:23: <Rainglove> Seeing as besides waakanti everyone is either a cleric or a paladin or something, this is a serious question
758903:04:36: <Hippocratesi> "Surprisingly, no."
759003:05:18: <Goatwright> "Nearly, at some points, but I have helped settle things."
759103:05:30: <Rainglove> "Anything particularly exciting?"
759203:05:51: <Goatwright> "Just issues between this lot."
759303:07:20: <Goatwright> "Perhaps the town up north, as well, but I merely helped make us more willing to help."
759403:09:59: <Rainglove> "Huh, alright. How'd you get into that particular line of work?"
759503:11:34: <Goatwright> "It was what was left." He laughs somewhat. "But I seem to be good at it."
759603:13:17: <Rainglove> "Well, can't argue with results." He looks around. "So uh, I know I haven't met the goblin yet, anyone else besides him I still need to get 'approval' from?"
759703:14:02: <Goatwright> "Have you met the ape?"
759803:14:16: <Rainglove> "... Ape?"
759903:15:01: <Goatwright> "Ape."
760003:15:22: <Goatwright> "Such as you, but hairier, and more offensive."
760103:15:48: <Hippocratesi> "He means Qojo."
760203:16:07: <Hippocratesi> "She's helping with construction, you'll meet her eventually."
760303:16:17: <Goatwright> "She?"
760403:16:39: <Hippocratesi> Aeria sighs. "You didn't know either?"
760503:17:49: <Goatwright> "Qojo is very masculine, but similarly visually displeasing, and thus I do not try to look at him often."
760603:18:07: <Rainglove> Azreal just kinda... "Sounds like an interesting person." It's half question, half statement.
760703:18:42: <Goatwright> "That is a way to put it."
760803:18:46: <Hippocratesi> "She is...interesting but she means well."
760903:19:03: <Goatwright> "He... she? is a good fighter, though."
761003:20:10: <Rainglove> "What role does she fill?"
761103:21:12: <Hippocratesi> "She acts as our Councillor."
761203:23:27: <Rainglove> "Well, I look forward to meeting her. Since there are a few of you here now, is there anything I should be made aware of before doing... whatever you want me to do?"
761303:26:29: <Goatwright> "I believe our situation speaks for itself."
761403:29:11: <Rainglove> "... I'm not sure I follow. What're you planning on doing around here? Just keep growing as a town? Take over other settlements? Go on an insane murderous rampage across the continent?"
761503:32:22: <Goatwright> Waakanti's eyebrows furrow, and he looks to Aeria momentarily before realizing she's fairly knew herself.
761603:32:34: <Goatwright> He then sorta just.. shrugs.
761703:33:55: <Rainglove> "That's... informative. If you want me to do anything, you /are/ going to have to tell me what it is you want me to do." Azrael has the perplexedness.
761803:33:56: <Hippocratesi> "I can't say either."
761903:35:20: <Goatwright> "This is a question to ask the orc and the goblin."
762003:40:07: <Rainglove> "Alright then." He thinks to himself for a minute, then decides other people can drive the goddamn conversation.
762103:40:32: <Goatwright> nah Im sleepan
762203:41:16: <Rainglove> fuggen casuals
762320:29:43: <Goatwright> Waakanti is meditatin'.
762421:41:21: <viejo> Qoja is helping build shit.
762521:44:54: <Goatwright> Waakanti continues to meditate. He is along the outskirts of town, towards the bandit camp, sitting cross-legged upon a large boulder.
762621:45:37: <viejo> 1d20 Ormunt lifts the weights.
762721:45:37: <Puffgoof> Viejo, Ormunt lifts the weights.: 17 [1d20=17]

763321:46:29: <Goatwright> He is currently plastered and mentally scarring a poor young barwench.
763421:46:36: <Hippocratesi> Aeria is sitting at a table outside, having a DRINK.
763521:46:51: <viejo> Is she watching Qoja work her tight bod?
763621:47:05: <Goatwright> Obviously she's watching the wise Waakanti meditate.
763721:47:10: <Hippocratesi> w-well
763821:47:22: <viejo> 1d20 is she watching?
763921:47:23: <Puffgoof> Viejo, is she watching?: 9 [1d20=9]

764821:48:22: <viejo> that was a strength check
764921:52:30: <viejo> Qoja wipes the sweat off her brow and decides to take a break. Hm, who shall she go talk to? The faggot on the rock or the glorious dame sipping a cool beer?
765021:52:51: <viejo> "Hey, how're you doin'?"
765121:52:52: <viejo> She directs this at
765221:52:55: <viejo> Waakanti
765321:52:57: <viejo> :)
765421:52:58: <Hippocratesi> FUG
765521:53:00: <Goatwright> *gosp*
765621:53:02: <Goatwright> <3 u veejo
765721:53:51: <Goatwright> Waakanti stops chanting and opens his eyes to look down at the little monkey lady who has come over to talk to him. She feels a slight chill around Waakanti. "Consulting with my ancestors. They have become... vocal, as of recent."
765821:55:13: <Goatwright> "What of you?"
765921:56:55: <viejo> "They have anythin' interestin' to offer? Any words of wisdom or such?"
766021:57:16: <viejo> "I'm just tryna make myself useful I guess, haven't had any councilor duties as such yet so, just buildin'."
766121:57:25: <viejo> Qoja would play MC with you, Rain.
766221:57:32: <Rainglove> ;-;
766321:59:58: <Goatwright> "They have expressed an interest in me taking a different role."
766422:01:46: <Rainglove> Waakanti explodes
766522:02:00: <Goatwright> Yep
766622:02:39: <Rainglove> He reappears on a roof about thirty feet away, the angry yelling of a ghostly great-uncle temporarily audible
766722:03:10: <Rainglove> "-EACH YOU TO SASS ME YOUNG MAN WHEN I AM TALKING TO YOU YOU'D BEST LIST-"
766822:03:15: <Rainglove> and then it fades back out
766922:03:33: <Rainglove> waakanti you are on a roof
767022:04:33: <viejo> "'Expressed an interest,' huh?" Qoja calls on over.
767122:05:40: <Goatwright> Waakanti looks deeply embarrassed. It is perhaps the most clear face of emotion since he's arrived here. "Expressed an interest," he repeats, slowly climbing down from the roof.
767222:05:47: <Goatwright> He hopes he hasn't disturbed any of the occupants in said house.
767322:06:44: <viejo> I don't see a climb roll.
767422:06:48: <viejo> Or acrobatics.
767522:06:50: <viejo> :^)
767622:07:36: <Goatwright> >implying Waakanti probably isn't the height of the building
767722:07:46: <Rainglove> two-story house
767822:07:56: <Goatwright> that's a small leap down
767922:08:27: <Goatwright> 1d20+7 WHO WEARS ARMOR AROUND TOWN ANYWAYS
768022:08:27: <Puffgoof> Goatwright, WHO WEARS ARMOR AROUND TOWN ANYWAYS: 10 [1d20=3]
768122:08:30: <Rainglove> it's far enough for 1d6 nonlethal fall damage
768222:08:40: <Rainglove> waakanti lands on his face
768322:08:51: <Rainglove> ghostly laughter echoes through the streets
768422:09:16: <Puffgoof> Rainglove, 1d6: 6 [1d6=6]
768522:09:16: <Rainglove> 1d6
768622:09:21: <Rainglove> he also nearly loses a tooth
768722:09:35: <viejo> Are people actually laughing?
768822:09:54: <Rainglove> invisible people distantly related to waakanti
768922:09:59: <Goatwright> Waakanti stands slowly, spitting out a bit of blood. "Yaruman, please."
769022:10:37: <viejo> Qoja goes to him. She can attempt to help him up then she does. "Are you alright? Seems like your folks are kinda ill-humoured."
769122:11:22: <Hippocratesi> Aeria approaches the recently fallen Waakanti. "Are you hurt?"
769222:12:19: <Goatwright> "I am fine." He rubs his gums somewhat. "My mentor, though ill-benefiting, has watched over me since childhood. He believes in testing my abilities whenever he can."
769322:12:31: <Goatwright> "..usually at inopportune times.." he mutters.
769422:12:55: <viejo> Qoja puts her hands on her hips. "When's he gonna show himself to us so we can have a word with him? Real damn rude."
769522:13:55: <Hippocratesi> "I'm assuming there's no avoiding it?"
769622:15:23: <Goatwright> "He is the one who crawled out of my mouth, if you recall, Qojo."
769722:15:56: <Goatwright> "But no, there is not. I am a conduit of sorts, now. My life is theirs, as their afterlives are mine, in a sense."
769822:18:56: <Rainglove> The captain of the guard appears in the square, clearly looking for you lot and looking rather alarmed. He spots you and makes a beeline for you.
769922:19:51: <Goatwright> Waakanti waits until he makes his way over. "What is wrong?"
770022:21:16: <Hippocratesi> "Something's happened?"
770122:21:25: <Rainglove> "Somethin's... you'd best come see. Someone's been killed. We're not sure wha's happened."
770222:22:07: <Rainglove> Now that he's closer, the splash of blood across his arms is very visible. That ain't good.
770322:23:15: <Hippocratesi> "Take us there, and quickly."
770422:24:17: <Rainglove> He turns and goes, heading for the town hall. That really ain't good.
770522:24:29: <Goatwright> It's Gwyn
770622:24:43: <Goatwright> Also Waakanti hurries after the guard.
770722:24:53: <NachtRuine> Saav sees familiar faces rushing somewhere, and decides to follow, just knowing something is wrong.
770822:25:03: <Hippocratesi> Aeria runs along after.
770922:26:38: <viejo> Qoja is following.
771022:27:34: <Rainglove> Everyone arrives through the power of personal locomotion. The dwarf bursts through the doors, and it's immediately obvious some sort of fight happened. Slashes of blood stain sections of wall, and a shattered axe haft bars one doorway. The dwarf ignores it and heads towards a back area.
771122:28:21: <Goatwright> Waakanti glances at the doorway, but continues after the dwarf.
771222:28:38: <NachtRuine> Saav, while familiar with the sprays of blood, is still put off by it. He continues to follow.
771322:30:57: <Rainglove> The dwarf stops at a storeroom and waves you inside. A guard sits in one corner, alive and awaiting healing that should presumably arrive soon. He has the rest of the aforementioned axe in one hand. Sira's there as well, unconscious but apparently alive. The corpse of a half-elf lies against a wall, in pretty terrible shape.
771422:33:21: <Hippocratesi> "What exactly happe-" Aeria is cut off by the sudden appearance of Gwyn (or not, if you have something planned I dunno nigga). His beard trembles.
771522:33:23: <viejo> Can I attempt to sense motive on the rooms and any dents, blood splatters, etc. to get more info?
771622:33:59: <NachtRuine> Saav remains silent for a moment, then speaks gravely. "This is officially a crime scene. I require evidence bags. If you do not need to touch anything, do not."
771722:34:21: <Rainglove> you can roll perception and whoever has K planes or arcana can roll that
771822:34:42: <Goatwright> Can I roll both K Planes and K Arcana?
771922:34:59: <NachtRuine> I cast sift.

774222:36:22: <Rainglove> can you not read
774322:36:30: <NachtRuine> I did the planes
774422:36:37: <viejo> Arcana it is then.
774522:39:06: <Rainglove> I'm just gonna let that mess be what it is and not specify people because goddamn. Perc: Dead guy, assuming he's where he died, probably knew what was coming. He was facing the doorway and not near any of the few opened storage crates. He got hit fuggen /hard/, whatever hit him.
774622:39:59: <viejo> Qoja relays this to the party.
774722:41:20: <Rainglove> Planes/Arcana: There's MAGIC in the air. Summoning happened 'round here, and there's a particular planar flavor you recognize from the keep, though it doesn't feel like the exact kinds of critters you met there, they're from the same place.
774822:41:43: <Goatwright> Waakanti gives Saav a particular look.
774922:41:49: <Hippocratesi> Gwyn attempts to awaken Sira in his own barbarian elf way. Aeria moves closer to the half-elf corpse, making sure not to step in anything. "Were there any other witnesses?"
775022:41:52: <Goatwright> A look of "you dun fucked up now, guy"
775122:41:58: <Goatwright> "what'cha gonna do"
775222:42:28: <Rainglove> She's nearly dead, gwyn. Stable, but nearly dead.
775322:42:41: <Rainglove> She ain't comin' round
775422:42:59: <NachtRuine> Saav knows why he looks to him. "I know your thoughts, giant. This does not impede my job as Marshal."
775522:43:44: <Goatwright> "But it is something you will have to deal with." He then turns to the dwarf guard, making sure not to step in any piles of blood. "Is the half-elf one of ours?"
775622:44:17: <Rainglove> Those open crates from the perc roll were ransacked rather fiercely. One is busted in half, and most of them have had the nailed-on tops ripped off.
775722:46:11: <NachtRuine> What was inside? Or rather, what's supposed to be inside?
775822:46:18: <viejo> "Guess he, or she, or it, or whatever it was, was after somethin'."
775922:46:23: <Rainglove> The dwarf nods. "Worked 'ere. Nelson there'll be able to tell you what happened once he's back in shape, but from what I gather some kinda shadow beasties attacked the place. Nobody saw 'em come here, though..." He's come down off the PANIC and seems to be mostly confused.
776022:46:44: <Rainglove> He shrugs. "No idea what was in 'em."
776122:46:48: <Hippocratesi> Aeria does Lay on Hands on Sira, MAYBE SHE KNOWS SOMETHING or will have convenient amnesia.
776222:47:09: <Hippocratesi> 1d6 I-I guess I do this
776322:47:09: <Puffgoof> Hippocratesi, I-I guess I do this: 2 [1d6=2]
776422:47:13: <Hippocratesi> but why
776522:47:23: <Goatwright> Waakanti nods. He moves over to the guard and starts to heal him.
776622:47:33: <NachtRuine> "Giant. You are capable of convening with the dead, are you not."
776722:47:39: <Rainglove> you heal 2d6 bruv
776822:47:46: <Goatwright> I-I know?
776922:47:51: <Rainglove> I meant hippo
777022:47:58: <Hippocratesi> ah right
777122:48:00: <Hippocratesi> 2d6
777222:48:00: <Puffgoof> Hippocratesi, 2d6: 5 [2d6=2,3]
777322:48:17: <Goatwright> 6d6 expendin' three uses of Fervor (THIS MIGHT BE THE LAST TIME I HEALBOT, DUN DUN)
777422:48:17: <Puffgoof> Goatwright, expendin' three uses of Fervor (THIS MIGHT BE THE LAST TIME I HEALBOT, DUN DUN): 20 [6d6=6,5,1,3,3,2]
777522:48:38: <Hippocratesi> 2d6 a-and another?
777622:48:38: <Puffgoof> Hippocratesi, a-and another?: 9 [2d6=6,3]
777722:48:40: <Goatwright> That guard is definitely not gonna die now, at least. Waakanti looks up to Saav and nods. "I can."
777822:48:56: <viejo> "Shadow beasties? Can you give a good description of them, whatever it is you saw? In you're own time when you're ready."
777922:49:03: <viejo> your* fug
778022:49:16: <Rainglove> Good enough! Sira comes back around and sits up shakily, looking around. "Wh..."
778122:49:32: <Rainglove> Waakanti heals the shit out of that guard
778222:49:37: <Goatwright> Nelson.
778322:49:40: <Goatwright> Nelson is gud.
778422:50:54: <NachtRuine> "Keep that in mind when we hit a roadblock that only he," gesturing to the corpse, "can answer." Saav looks about. Can he track the aura?
778522:51:10: <Rainglove> He's conscious and mostly awake. He pushes himself to his feet. "Thank you... Sir." He winces. "How can I be of assistance?"
778622:52:06: <Rainglove> Saav, you can, though you didn't feel anything suspicious outside of the hall, which strikes you as odd.
778722:52:20: <Goatwright> "You are welcome. Tell him-" he points at Saav. "-all that you can. Qojo, come with me. I need your strength."
778822:53:50: <NachtRuine> Saav turns to the newly conscious guard, leaving the tracking off for later. He lowers his mask for the guard. "Let's start with the being that came in here."
778922:53:51: <viejo> "My strength? Well... Alright."
779022:53:57: <viejo> Qoja follows Waakanti to wherever.
779122:54:21: <viejo> "If you mean "ability to kick someone's ass" then yeah, I'm your gal."
779222:56:22: <Goatwright> Waakanti heads out to the room that was barricaded! "I believe there is something within this room that may be a threat, and that is your area of expertise."
779322:57:13: <Rainglove> Nelson the guard nods. "I was patrolling... Saw someone I didn't recognize come in here. Something just looked off about them, kinda hard to explain. Shifty, I guess? Came in after him, but when I came in I was... attacked. Some kind of wolf, I think? They were weird, same way that guy was. Killed one, pushed the other one in there and locked it in."
779422:57:17: <Goatwright> He sets his hand on Qoja's shoulder and imbues her with Fortune, then, as he begins chanting, casts Detect Magic through the crack of the door.
779522:57:21: <Rainglove> He points at the barred door down the hall.
779622:57:24: <Goatwright> Any spoopy magic inside?
779722:57:42: <Rainglove> More fuggen extraplanar bullshit.
779822:58:04: <Goatwright> Gross. Should I roll Planes or nah?
779922:58:15: <viejo> "Woah, what!"
780022:58:27: <Rainglove> We've already established you don't know shit about where they're from back in the keep
780122:58:29: <Rainglove> so
780222:58:31: <Rainglove> nah
780322:58:36: <Goatwright> Aight.
780422:59:26: <NachtRuine> Saav's expression drops. "You mean to say there is a being still within the hall." He looks for the giant and Qojo and realizes they left. "Stay here." Mask goes up, Saav goes after the two.
780523:00:08: <Goatwright> "There is something extraplanar in there..." Waakanti frowns. "Okay, I may attempt to bind this creature. I will want you to keep it distracted and still, if it appears intelligent."
780623:00:34: <Goatwright> Then Saav shows up! "There is an extraplanar creature in this room," he says, then gets back to his CHANTING.
780723:01:15: <NachtRuine> "Yes, I know. A wolf-type, similar to the one in the keep. Take caution."
780823:01:19: <viejo> Qoja puts hers fists up and bounces from side to side on the balls of her feet. "Oh I'm ready!"
780923:01:57: <Goatwright> "Ah. Likely not intelligent, then?"
781023:02:03: <Rainglove> The newly-revived guard stumbles past you and out of the hall. The sounds of the dwarf captain talking to Sira echo back down the hall.
781123:03:27: <NachtRuine> Saav looks to the guard. "Dammit, I told him to stay put." But he realizes more pressing matters are here. "What do you intend to do, giant."
781223:04:08: <Goatwright> "I have been granted the ability to bind such creatures, as of late. But if it lacks intelligence, perhaps there is no purpose."
781323:06:10: <NachtRuine> "I am uncertain as to its intelligence, but keep in mind they can shapeshift. The guard saw one as a person, and followed them, only to be attacked by the wolf-creature. There were two, one is dead, one is here."
781423:06:35: <viejo> Can I attempt a sense motive on something in the past? i.e. that guard's reactions?
781523:06:40: <Goatwright> "I will attempt it, then."
781623:06:50: <Rainglove> Feel free to try
781723:07:00: <viejo> 1d20+12 is he DA WOLF?
781823:07:00: <Puffgoof> Viejo, is he DA WOLF?: 21 [1d20=9]
781923:07:26: <Goatwright> Waakanti unjams the door and flings it open.
782023:10:04: <Rainglove> He was in full-plate, so you couldn't really read his face. Something about him did seem a little weird, though.
782123:10:57: <Rainglove> Waakanti, a wolf lunges at you. Another corpse lies in the corner of the room. You get the first round.
782223:10:58: <viejo> "They can... shapeshift? And the injured guard, the one next to the damn dead guy... Just walked off?..."
782323:11:43: <viejo> "Aeria! Gwyn! One of you chase that guard and don't let him leave! Now!"
782423:12:10: <Hippocratesi> Aeria chases the guard!
782523:12:11: <Goatwright> fug
782623:12:33: <viejo> "[Be careful!]"
782723:13:47: <Goatwright> Waakanti spends his standard action using Evil Eye on the wolf, his glare sending a chill through the wolf. -2 to saves
782823:13:53: <Rainglove> Aeria, there's a set of dented up plate piled up right in front of the door. Outside, you don't see anyone. This time though, you do feel eeeeevil. If you want to catch him, better do it before he has time to hide his alignment.
782923:13:56: <Goatwright> OKAY QOJA SAVE ME
783023:14:05: <Rainglove> Well, you do see people outside, but normal people

787223:18:29: <Rainglove> it's just getting further away from yer friendlies
787323:18:40: <viejo> Qoja gets her Tekken on and unleashes a sick 4-hit combo.
787423:19:32: <Hippocratesi> Aeria
787523:19:35: <Hippocratesi> keeps following it
787623:20:45: <Rainglove> Well the wolf is mostly dead

788323:23:14: <NachtRuine> Saav begins to emanate a sickening sound. Distressing Tone! DC 17 Fort negates, or suffer sickened!
788423:24:41: <Rainglove> Something wrenches at your mind as you round a corner, aeria, but you manage to resist it handily. A child stands at the opposite end of the alley from you, in tears.
788523:24:50: <Rainglove> 1d20+4 SAAAAAVES
788623:24:50: <Puffgoof> Rainglove, SAAAAAVES: 10 [1d20=6]

789123:26:54: <Hippocratesi> Well.
789223:27:09: <Rainglove> the wolf HRK stands
789323:27:17: <Hippocratesi> Aeria raises her hand and casts Smite Evil.
789423:27:32: <viejo> 1d20+14 why even bother, pup

789923:27:52: <viejo> Qoja throws a big ol' haymaker.
790023:28:01: <Rainglove> Qojo punches the wolf's face in
790123:28:08: <Rainglove> it explodes into shadow and extraplanar dust
790223:28:22: <Rainglove> Better get goin' kiddies
790323:28:25: <Hippocratesi> Do I just hit the kid then?
790423:28:30: <Rainglove> You're smiting
790523:28:34: <viejo> "Where's Aeria...? Aeria!" She goes off after her.
790623:28:41: <Rainglove> You have distance to close, though
790723:28:46: <Goatwright> "Qojo, you must keep close! Do not waste your magic!"
790823:28:52: <Hippocratesi> Well
790923:28:52: <Goatwright> Waakanti runs after.
791023:28:53: <Rainglove> 40 ish feet
791123:29:16: <NachtRuine> Saav collects a little of the dust before seeing everyone running, and goes to try to catch up.
791223:29:36: <Hippocratesi> Aeria advances and draws her sword. I don't think I can move 40 ft.
791323:29:36: <Rainglove> Saav, you can still feel the trail aera was following, though it's faint.
791423:30:06: <NachtRuine> He follows said trail.
791523:30:27: <Goatwright> We follow Saav.
791623:30:35: <Rainglove> nope, just 30. The kid shifts, growing in height, and summons...

794223:34:46: <Rainglove> wolf 2 trips itself. It's prone.
794323:34:49: <Rainglove> Aeria's turn.

796423:38:26: <Rainglove> Shapeshifter's turn. He disappears from his corner and reappears about 5 feet away from Aeria, then turns and sprints for the exit to the alley.
796523:38:50: <Puffgoof> Rainglove, For time's sake the wolves now just have one attack: 28 [1d20=18]

824100:23:49: <viejo> can I charge attack by jumping down at him?
824200:24:24: <Goatwright> 1d4+1
824300:24:24: <Dados> Goatwright, 1d4+1: 2 [1d4=1]
824400:24:28: <Rainglove> shore
824500:24:32: <Goatwright> Nauseated for two more rounds, then
824600:24:50: <viejo> 1d20+12 non lethal damage
824700:24:50: <Dados> Viejo, non lethal damage: 22 [1d20=10]
824800:25:01: <viejo> 1d8+9
824900:25:01: <Dados> Viejo, 1d8+9: 14 [1d8=5]
825000:25:26: <viejo> presumably Qoja descends from a building and kicks him in the face as she does.
825100:25:26: <Rainglove> hrk
825200:26:43: <Rainglove> mr. outsider, being unable to do anything besides take move actions, opts to just surrender. He spits out a tooth as another one grows in and throws his hands up, speaking in infernal. "[I would n-]" He retches. "[Peace.]"
825300:27:51: <viejo> "What damn demon language are you speakin'? Ain't gonna work on me!"
825400:28:00: <viejo> Qoja is going to flurry as she soon as possible.
825500:28:19: <Goatwright> Before Qoja kills the poor fucker, Waakanti arrives on the scene! "Move away."
825600:28:36: <viejo> >dealing nonlethal damage
825700:28:42: <viejo> >specified in chat I'd knock him out
825800:29:45: <Goatwright> Waakanti doesn't know that, gosh.
825900:30:23: <Hippocratesi> way to meta
826000:32:09: <Goatwright> Waakanti begins prepping a circle around the creature, then stops. "Ah yes. You teleport, do you not."
826100:32:19: <Goatwright> He hmms to himself, then snaps. Ah! He has the perfect thing for this.
826200:34:28: <Goatwright> Waakanti channels the magic of his far distant grandfather. A ghostly visage momentarily appears in the air, winding around Waakanti before disappearing again. He now seems a bit shrewder than usual, his eyes scanning quickly along the outsider.
826300:34:44: <Goatwright> And then he casts Tongues on himself! "Speak again."
826400:43:26: <viejo> "What? Fuck that! Soon as whatever you did wears off it's gonna be another chase. You can talk to him damn later."
826500:43:33: <viejo> With that Qoja knocks him out with an elbow to the face.
826600:43:39: <Goatwright> man seriously
826700:43:48: <viejo> it's late, and it's dumb to talk to him RIGHT NOW
826800:44:02: <Goatwright> it's late for YOU
826900:44:03: <Goatwright> >:[
827000:44:24: <Hippocratesi> Aeria ARRIVES. "You haven't killed him yet?"
827100:44:51: <viejo> it makes more sense to knock him out by far
827200:44:58: <viejo> it is indeed late
827300:45:02: <Goatwright> Then he just doesn't cast it.
827400:45:22: <viejo> nacht and anyone else can talk to him at a later date i.e. tomorrow as well
827500:46:21: <viejo> "Just knocked out. We can tie him up physically and magically and however we damn well can and then you can talk to him."
827600:47:15: <Goatwright> "As soon as it awakes it is capable of leaving."
827700:47:48: <Hippocratesi> "If we're so set on talking to him, we execute him afterwards."
827800:49:35: <viejo> "We'll just stand about and draw a nice magic circle around him while he waits to teleport away instead. I'll be surprised if none of you magic-users are capable of comin' up with some means to restrain him."
827900:50:41: <Goatwright> "He travels between planes, such as how he appeared on the roof. If we are to bind it, we require a separate spell."
828000:50:50: <Goatwright> "Perhaps the mages can help."
828100:51:09: <viejo> "Then we have more time with him unconscious to find out some way to stop him from doin' that."
828200:53:09: <Goatwright> "Then drag him along. We shall go to the mage house."
828300:53:43: <Goatwright> And Waakanti heads off over to the mage shack.
828400:54:24: <Rainglove> Yer off to see the wizard
828500:54:36: <Rainglove> and you arrive to see the wizard with minimal interference from flying monkeys
828600:54:46: <Goatwright> Waakanti knocks.
828700:55:19: <Rainglove> The wizard answers the door. "Hel-" He sees the unconscious guy. "What is that?"
828800:56:23: <Hippocratesi> "A demon."
828900:56:49: <Rainglove> "Why is it here?"
829000:57:03: <Goatwright> "We need assistance binding it, both to this plane and within a magic circle."
829100:59:20: <Rainglove> "Been a while since I've gotten to do that." His eyes are practically gleaming, and he turns back into the house.
829201:01:02: <Rainglove> he goes down a few doors to an empty stone room and inscribes the circle, then pauses. "I don't suppose any of you blessed-by-the-gods types would happen to have a divinely blessed weapon?"
829301:01:37: <NachtRuine> Saav plinks into existence. "I possess a rapier which I can imbue with my god's power."
829401:01:37: <Goatwright> "I do, actually."
829501:01:43: <Hippocratesi> "I do as well."
829601:02:07: <NachtRuine> Saav looks to the others. "It is probably best that I not use mine, now that I consider it."
829701:02:38: <Rainglove> "Yours uh, is probably not a good choice. Evil is not terribly effective at containing evil."
829801:03:07: <Goatwright> Waakanti pulls out his fughueg earthbreaker, some shrunken heads bound to the shaft by their hair. "Mine is actively protected by my ancestors. But if good is required, I suppose the paladin is best."
829901:03:13: <NachtRuine> "Yes, I... I did not consider that as I spoke." He slightly withdraws.
830001:03:14: <Goatwright> He still holds it out a bit, though, just in case.
830101:04:20: <Hippocratesi> Aeria hands out her greatsword, still stained with smelly ass wolf demon blood.
830201:04:26: <Goatwright> Nasty.
830301:05:07: <Rainglove> The wizard almost takes it, then reconsiders. "Just place it there, along the edge." he points.
830401:05:25: <NachtRuine> In an effort to be relevant, Saav says, "I picked up some of the dust the wolf left. Perhaps it might be of use."
830501:05:48: <Goatwright> To Aeria?
830601:06:37: <Hippocratesi> Yea, who's wepon?
830701:06:45: <Rainglove> aeria
830801:07:35: <Hippocratesi> Aeria nods and places it in the spot.
830901:08:21: <Rainglove> "If you could put him in?" He waves to whoever's dragging le outsooder
831001:09:04: <Rainglove> presumably he gets put in.
831101:09:45: <Rainglove> Wizard completes the circle, and it flares brightly into existence. Aeria's sword glows a soft golden-white, and the entire ring slowly takes on the same shade.
831201:10:16: <Goatwright> Waakanti looks semi-disappointed, putting his hammer back on his back.
831301:10:55: <NachtRuine> "Do not worry, giant. I am certain your weapon is next in line for containing an outsider."
831401:11:13: <Goatwright> "Thank you, orc."
831501:11:28: <Rainglove> "I can anchor him, but the spell doesn't last for long. Regardless, while I am here he shouldn't be able to escape."
831601:12:24: <NachtRuine> Mask down. "He spoke a demonic-sounding language, yes? Sounded similar to the keep demon?"
831701:12:49: <Goatsmith> "Yes."
831801:13:04: <Goatsmith> Waakanti NOW does the whole spirit thing, looking wiser, casting Tongues thing.
831901:13:29: <Rainglove> hrk scratch that he anchors the thing
832001:13:36: <Rainglove> green light BANG
832101:13:38: <NachtRuine> "I am capable of speaking to this outsider, then." He sees the casting. "And so can you, apparently."
832201:14:07: <Rainglove> The outsider remains unconscious. "Someone /is/ going to have to wake him up."
832301:14:22: <Goatsmith> "Yes. My ancestors provide me much support when I truly need it."
832401:14:56: <Goatsmith> "I suppose this is also something I can do."
832501:15:28: <Goatsmith> Wait scratch that
832601:15:37: <Goatsmith> If it's evil, does it need negative energy, o-or
832701:16:14: <Rainglove> nah, it's not undead
832801:17:25: <Goatsmith> Then yes, Waakanti casts Protection Against Evil on himself first and then enters the circle and heals it.
832901:17:43: <Goatsmith> 4d6 Just enough?
833001:17:43: <Dados> Goatsmith, Just enough?: 13 [4d6=1,1,5,6]
833101:18:15: <Rainglove> Outsider mang stirs, then pushse himself up onto his knees.
833201:18:56: <Goatsmith> Waakanti nooopes out of the circle.
833301:19:14: <NachtRuine> "[Why are you here, outsider?]"
833401:20:53: <Rainglove> "[I needed something that you had.]"
833501:21:05: <Rainglove> His face remains literally blank.
833601:21:35: <NachtRuine> "[That is?]"
833701:21:56: <Goatsmith> "[What you stole from the crates?]"
833801:25:04: <Rainglove> "[What I took from the elf.]"
833901:26:14: <NachtRuine> "[Cease dancing around the topic and tell us what you took.]"
834001:26:21: <Goatsmith> "[What did the elf have?]"
834101:29:58: <Rainglove> It flicks its wrist, and a small sheaf of papers appears in its hand. "[Knowledge. We seek to understand what we fight. You possess... interesting qualities.]"
834201:31:28: <NachtRuine> "[What do you fight?]"
834301:34:09: <Rainglove> It points at the sword set against the edge of the circle. "[You wield such weapons, and you must ask what we fight? We have heard of our brothers you have driven from their home in your world. We would prevent such from happening to others.]"
834401:38:27: <NachtRuine> "[Do you recognize this symbol?]" He flashes his holy symbol at the being.
834501:39:13: <Rainglove> "[I do not serve your god, but of course I recognize him.]"
834601:42:48: <Rainglove> Oh my god it's AMAZING comprehend language spells for everyone
834701:42:56: <Rainglove> what a friendly wizard
834801:43:00: <Rainglove> aeria can talk if she wants to
834901:43:27: <Hippocratesi> HOO-RAH
835001:43:28: <NachtRuine> Not a servant. That's comforting. "[You speak of your brothers. Do you refer to another of your kind who is a follower of my god?]"
835101:45:42: <Rainglove> It nods. "[I understand that you drove out a servant of your own god from land he had staked as his own. If you will stoop to such lows, we will do what we must to take precautions.]"
835201:46:00: <Rainglove> It points at Aeria. "[The presence of others such as /her/ only increases our need.]"
835301:47:36: <NachtRuine> "[It was an agreed upon deal. I directed it to a place which would suit it better than the land it held.]"
835401:47:46: <Hippocratesi> "[What RIGHT have you to come to our home and murder innocents, /demon/?]"
835501:50:33: <Rainglove> It snorts, which is /really/ weird coming from something with no facial features. "[The elf was no innocent. What right is it of yours to travel to our homes and slay us? You directed him to a place that would better suit /you/, not him.]"
835601:52:31: <NachtRuine> "[We would have never encroached upon that land had they not murdered all within it. The first death was of our kind.]"
835701:53:53: <Hippocratesi> "[It is /my/ right to cleanse this land of your filth and I will see it done.]"
835801:54:39: <Rainglove> He shakes his head. "[I will not argue such things with such beings. It is customary to make demands of a being such as I when you have placed me within a binding circle such as this. What do you seek of me?]"
835901:54:45: <NachtRuine> Giving the angel the ability to speak to the demon was not a good call.
836001:58:19: <Goatwright> Fucking wizard.
836101:58:34: <Goatwright> Waakanti pulls Aeria aside and gently pats her on the shoulder. "Aeria?"
836201:58:41: <Goatwright> HE KNOWS HER NAME GOSP
836301:59:25: <Hippocratesi> Aeria looks up at the giant. "Nikli."
836401:59:54: <Goatwright> "As you know, I am high priest, yes?"
836502:00:39: <Hippocratesi> "You are."
836602:02:23: <Goatwright> He nods. "I have been informed of your duty, to clear this world of evil, and I respect it because it is your quest. I too have a quest given by my people, and it is something I must respect out of principle." He points at the outsider. "But this communication is a matter of importance to not just you, but the town at large."
836702:02:40: <Goatwright> "Your beliefs are clouding your judgment. As such, we are now having religious differences, so I must act upon them as my duty."
836802:03:42: <Hippocratesi> "This is a /demon/, Nikli."
836902:07:33: <NachtRuine> "[Demon. You are concerned with our killing of your kind, just as we are concerned of the opposite. Is it not simple enough to remain in our own planes, and not to fight each other?]"
837002:09:54: <Rainglove> "[No. Some of us are sent here, and others of us choose to come. Returning is nigh impossible.]"
837102:10:19: <Goatwright> "This is a demon that is connected to other demons, Aeria. Killing this one sends a message that can endanger our people. It is an extreme act of good that can lead to bad, and I cannot allow this."
837202:10:31: <Goatwright> "Sometimes we must negotiate."
837302:13:19: <Hippocratesi> Aeria huffs. "Fine. I'll be outside." She walks out.
837402:13:51: <Rainglove> The wizard watches her go, clearly confused. The outsider is visibly relieved.
837502:14:56: <NachtRuine> "[Hm.]" Saav stops to think. "[Why are your kind sent here?]"
837602:16:09: <Goatwright> Waakanti returns to the demon at hand.
837702:17:50: <Rainglove> "[To spread. Our home plane is filled. We must find others. There are some who choose this plane because it is conflicted. Others are committed entirely to their ideals. We could hardly live in a chaotic plane. I am sure you have met some kind of good creatures here for the same purposes?]"
837802:19:39: <Goatsmith> "[We have not.. but such an expectation seems silly. You wish to join a plane expecting conflict not only from its residents, but of good outsiders?]"
837902:20:18: <Goatsmith> "[I understand your alignment, and it's not even that. It's just stupid. There's easier methods, surely.]"
838002:23:06: <Rainglove> "[We hardly expect not to meet resistance. Such is the nature of things. And what easier methods? The creation of a plane? Such things take eternities, and much destruction is wrought in their creation. We do not seek to absorb your entire plane. Not at this time. We seek only space to live.]"
838102:25:12: <Goatsmith> "[Are there not emptier outer planes?]"
838202:26:22: <Rainglove> "[None as desirable as this, even with the challenges it presents.]"
838302:26:51: <Goatsmith> "[And what makes this so desirable?]"
838402:27:00: <NachtRuine> "[This plane is desirable? Even with the cataclysm which racks it?]"
838502:32:17: <Rainglove> "[The directive of the gods. Your world has caught the interest of very powerful beings. I am unsure of the details.]"
838602:33:17: <NachtRuine> Saav looks to the giant. "What are we to do? It does not appear there is any way to negotiate anything."
838702:36:11: <Benedict> Man, king duties sure are SHITTY. Nurel decides a break is needed. A break to the nice mage house to see if things are going well.
838802:36:20: <Goatsmith> Waakanti sighs. "I worry there is nothing we can do. We have no power to create an alternate means."
838902:36:53: <Hippocratesi> Aeria sees Nurel approaching. "Nurel. I'm assuming you've seen the situation in the town hall?"
839002:37:00: <Goatsmith> "It seems all we can do is try to send a message. Perhaps war is all we can do."
839102:37:16: <Benedict> "No?"
839202:37:33: <Goatsmith> "No doubt it's what our truly unbiased goblin leader will want, regardless." Waakanti sighs, rubbing his eyes.
839302:37:40: <NachtRuine> "I do not expect a war will bode well with anyone. Especially not at the state this land is in."
839402:38:57: <Hippocratesi> "A demon found its way into our walls, murdered someone and now they," She gestures inside of the mage house. "are /talking to it./"
839502:39:00: <Goatsmith> "It seems you've inexplicably started it yourself, Saavou."
839602:39:20: <Goatsmith> -inexplicably +unintentionally
839702:39:26: <Goatsmith> I am sleeps
839802:39:43: <Benedict> "It that so?" Good thing Nurel brought his musket. Nurel goes into the town hall and where is that demon and do I even need to bother with init.
839902:40:19: <Rainglove> they're all in the mage house mang
840002:40:29: <Rainglove> there ain't shit but a dead guy and Sira in the town hall
840102:40:41: <Benedict> RIGHT
840202:40:43: <Benedict> MAGE HOUSE
840302:40:45: <Benedict> THAT'S WHAT I MEANT
840402:40:54: <NachtRuine> That sentence makes Saav very uncomfortable. "As if my shoulders did not carry enough weight."
840502:40:57: <Hippocratesi> Aeria follows in behind him.
840602:41:24: <Rainglove> Well you get there
840702:41:41: <Goatsmith> Waakanti hears the door. "I no doubt this is the seal to the decree."
840802:41:48: <Rainglove> There's a what's basically a dude but all solid black along with three faggots
840902:42:06: <Benedict> And he detects as EVIL!
841002:42:12: <Rainglove> naw
841102:42:19: <Benedict> wut
841202:42:21: <Hippocratesi> EEEEEEEEEEEEEEVIIIIIIIIIIII- what?
841302:42:24: <Rainglove> he doesn't detect
841402:42:34: <Benedict> M-muh evil
841502:42:53: <NachtRuine> "Nurel. Aeria. We cannot negotiate with it. I suggest we banish it back to where it came from."
841602:43:05: <Hippocratesi> "Why don't we kill it instead?"
841702:43:21: <Benedict> Nurel points to the black clothed faggot. "It?"
841802:43:24: <Goatsmith> "Either way, you're ensuring future conflict."
841902:43:33: <Goatsmith> "Nothing we can do about it."
842002:43:35: <Rainglove> he's not really black clothed, just
842102:43:39: <Rainglove> entirely pitch black
842202:43:42: <Goatsmith> Waakanti sure does sound annoyed.
842302:43:43: <Rainglove> faceless and all
842402:43:47: <Benedict> Oh. Should I bother with an init roll?
842502:43:50: <Goatsmith> WAIT
842602:43:55: <Hippocratesi> well it can't really do anything
842702:43:57: <Goatsmith> WAAKANTI HOLDS UP HIS HAND
842802:43:58: <Hippocratesi> for now
842902:44:01: <Goatsmith> A REALIZATION
843002:44:02: <Rainglove> well it can cast
843102:44:14: <NachtRuine> "Waakanti. You have the floor."
843202:44:20: <Goatsmith> "[A question.]" He looks at the outsider.
843302:44:29: <Rainglove> The dude stands there
843402:44:30: <Rainglove> as he has beem
843502:44:40: <Benedict> "He does not. Did that thing kill someone in town?"
843602:44:53: <Goatsmith> "[We have seen black figures hiding among the mountains. Are you related?]"
843702:45:11: <Rainglove> The wizard takes this opportunity to give nurel comprehend languages
843802:45:22: <Benedict> Neat!
843902:45:34: <Benedict> He can understand and speak it?
844002:45:39: <Rainglove> "[That was us, yes.]"
844102:45:41: <Rainglove> indeed
844202:45:44: <Goatsmith> "[This information likely means extending your life somewhat.]" He gestures to Paladin Dream Team.
844302:46:04: <Goatsmith> "[Are there more of you there?]"
844402:46:08: <Benedict> Nurel does not understand why he can understand these two idiots, but he plays dumb. Don't need to give away that he knows.
844502:46:16: <Rainglove> He is obviously markedly less comfortable with Aeria and Nurel's entrance
844602:46:25: <Rainglove> everyone noticed already nurel
844702:46:28: <Rainglove> the wizard put some voodoo on you
844802:46:31: <Benedict> Damn it.
844902:46:38: <Rainglove> there was chanting
845002:46:39: <Benedict> Why can't you make secret castings, wizard?
845102:46:40: <Rainglove> hand waving
845202:46:41: <Benedict> You piece of shit.
845302:47:00: <Rainglove> "[There are.]"
845402:47:18: <NachtRuine> "[What is your purpose in being there?]"
845502:47:29: <Goatsmith> "[Do they know you are here?]"
845602:48:27: <Rainglove> "[To live.]" Directed at Waakanti, "[I did not come alone.]"
845702:49:08: <Hippocratesi> "[There are others of your kind here? Where?]"
845802:49:11: <Benedict> Is that so? Nurel takes a look around the room for any demons sneaking around, maybe some detect evil if they're nearby.
845902:49:25: <Rainglove> You don't detect shit.
846002:49:34: <Benedict> Gods damn it.
846102:49:36: <Rainglove> "[I am unsure. They have likely left.]"
846202:50:10: <Benedict> "[One more question, Nikli. And then we follow the law and what it says to do to murderers.]"
846302:51:49: <Goatsmith> "I believe the law has a clause about interrogating murderers to prevent future ones from happening."
846402:51:58: <Goatsmith> "If it does not, I believe we should add one."
846502:52:19: <NachtRuine> "It indeed does." So speaks the fuggen authority of law.
846602:53:02: <Benedict> "Prove it." So speakth the fucking King. "Because that will change right now, as I will not let murderous demons walk around -this- town because two people want to be buddies with it."
846702:53:28: <Hippocratesi> "It has spoken enough."
846802:54:42: <Goatsmith> "So because you are a righteous fool, you will blatantly invite future attacks, ones we will then have no knowledge on? Do you remember when you told Saavou's god's outsider of 'extreme lawfulness'?"
846902:55:13: <Benedict> "Because you want to be friends with a murderer, you will continue to let them walk, and allow no justice for the victim's family?"
847002:55:40: <NachtRuine> "I do not intend for us to be buddies, nor do I intend to keep it here much longer," Saav says as he pulls out an abridged version of Novit's laws. As he leafs through the pages, he says, "You are acting rashly, and are not thinking of the future. One death will not end society. A thousand will."
847102:55:41: <Goatsmith> "Your wrath wil only spell more disaster if you cannot learn to think ahead of what your actions bring. This murderer is in as much prison as we can provide it."
847202:56:11: <Benedict> "That extreme lawfulness comment was for a demon that killed without providing a reason, just because he felt them corrupt. This demon has killed a member of -our- town, the town -we're- supposed to protect, and you will allow yourselves to let him walk because you're afraid?"
847302:56:42: <Goatsmith> "It is not walking, as you can see."
847402:56:47: <Hippocratesi> "And so this one death is of no importance to you?"
847502:57:10: <Benedict> "It is walking, because he does answer. But he is. Now. By my right as king, for the murder of an innocent of Novit, I'm sentencing this demon to death."
847602:57:30: <Goatsmith> "No one said anything about it walking free. We are interrogating it. You interrogate prisoners."
847702:57:48: <NachtRuine> "Nurel. Know that if you kill this demon, you will be the one responsible for causing a war. Think carefully."
847802:58:14: <Goatsmith> "After we have gained all we can, you may do as you wish. But I cannot allow you to simply jeopardize future lives because of you blindly following your faiths."
847902:58:40: <Goatsmith> "You made both of us these positions, Mashal and High Priest. Both of us are acting in this capacity."
848002:58:40: <Benedict> "I will not let myself be scared into letting murders happen in my town, because some demons think they can use words to make us cower." Nurel loads that musket. "It is not blindly following my faith. I am seeing the law done."
848102:59:12: <Benedict> "And the angel is the diplomat, and yet you two are... superseding? Her position, because of your own desires."
848203:00:15: <Goatsmith> "Our desires are to save lives by performing our jobs. Your diplomat was yelling at a prisoner, one who is under the jurisdiction of a Marshal."
848303:00:34: <Goatsmith> "If anything, not only was she out of line of her position, but she was superseding his."
848403:00:35: <NachtRuine> "Diplomats do not interrogate. I do."
848503:01:04: <Benedict> "He is now under my jurisdiction, and I say he is being sentenced to death. You are not saving lives. You are being -cowards-." He went there. "Will you let every demon who kills people in this town to get away with it because you fear a war?"
848603:01:09: <Benedict> Do I need an init roll?
848703:01:40: <Goatsmith> Yes, Waakanti will attempt to prevent it.
848803:01:42: <Rainglove> I said prepared actions, I mean prepared actions
848903:01:47: <Rainglove> The demon, deciding waiting will probably not to wonders for his life span, casts. A wall of earth erupts from the ground between you and him, breaking the circle and sending Aeria's weapon sliding towards her.
849003:01:50: <Benedict> I don't know what you mean.
849103:02:04: <Hippocratesi> "He is a /demon/ come here to disturb us for his own selfish desires. HIS kind is not to be reason-"
849203:03:35: <Goatsmith> So, now attack?
849303:03:48: <Hippocratesi> I suppose so
849403:04:53: <Rainglove> well there's a wall between you and him
849503:05:04: <Rainglove> a rather unstable looking wall, actually
849603:05:16: <Hippocratesi> Aeria quickly grabs her weapon. "You should have KILLED IT!"
849703:05:44: <Rainglove> someone should roll spellcraft
849803:05:58: <Rainglove> yes it is more important than arguing
849903:06:01: <Goatsmith> 1d20+6
850003:06:02: <Dados> Goatsmith, 1d20+6: 25 [1d20=19]
850103:06:03: <NachtRuine> 1d20+8 spells
850203:06:03: <Dados> NachtRuine, spells: 20 [1d20=12]
850303:06:08: <Hippocratesi> 1d20+6
850403:06:08: <Dados> Hippocratesi, 1d20+6: 19 [1d20=13]
850503:06:34: <Benedict> 1d20+6
850603:06:34: <Dados> Benedict, 1d20+6: 14 [1d20=8]
850703:06:50: <Rainglove> this is a blast barrier. It is going to explode rather violently in a few seconds to minutes.
850803:06:57: <Rainglove> You may want to leave the room.
850903:07:19: <Goatsmith> "Leave, now."
851003:07:26: <Goatsmith> Waakanti boooolts.
851103:07:33: <NachtRuine> "We want to leave. Now." Saav does just as he prescribes.
851203:07:44: <Goatsmith> He tries to boooolt to the other side of this wall, outside, if there's time.
851303:07:46: <Benedict> Nurel curses in his native tongue about IDIOTS not executing criminals, and then leaves. Good bye, mage house.
851403:08:16: <Hippocratesi> Aeria gets the fuck out.
851503:10:26: <Rainglove> 6d6
851603:10:27: <Dados> Rainglove, 6d6: 16 [6d6=4,2,3,1,5,1]
851703:10:36: <Rainglove> The walls survive
851803:10:57: <Rainglove> There's a really fuggen loud bang, and the room will probably need refinishing, but there's no major damage
851903:11:05: <Benedict> Oh thank gods.
852003:11:29: <NachtRuine> And what of the demon?
852103:11:47: <Rainglove> he gone
852203:11:58: <Benedict> Nurel looks inside to confirm. Yeeeep. Damn.
852303:11:58: <Hippocratesi> he blew himself up or he escaped?
852403:12:04: <Goatsmith> Any detect evils to be done?
852503:12:21: <Benedict> Let's find out. Detecting.
852603:12:33: <Hippocratesi> Detecting EVIL.
852703:12:45: <NachtRuine> Sure, ditto.
852803:13:14: <Rainglove> nawp
852903:13:19: <Rainglove> He escaped, presumably
853003:14:03: <Benedict> Nurel something of a mix of a sigh and goblin growl. He awaits for Waak and Saav to say something about him ruining it.
853103:14:39: <Goatsmith> Waakanti does not.
853203:14:52: <Rainglove> The wizard wanders off deeper into the house. You hear a faint "Well /that/ was exciting!" and then he's gone
853303:15:11: <Goatsmith> Rather, he mutters an "My apologies" and exits the mage house.
853403:15:17: <NachtRuine> Saav speaks, but he doesn't say what Nurel expects. "You were right."
853503:15:28: <Benedict> Nurel looks around the room to get an estimate for how much new furniture is gonna cost.
853603:15:30: <Goatsmith> 1d20-1 bluff for NONTRUE APOLOGY
853703:15:31: <Dados> Goatsmith, bluff for NONTRUE APOLOGY: 3 [1d20=4]
853803:15:48: <Goatsmith> It is obvious he is not sorry, but at least he made the effort to lie about it, r-right?
853903:15:59: <Rainglove> There wasn't any furniture in there, just a bare stone room. Furniture's pretty sparse in a house meant for training new mages.
854003:16:00: <Benedict> It would have been better if he said nothing at all.
854103:16:14: <Benedict> How do they relax? Nurel thinks they need some pillows in here.
854203:16:29: <Rainglove> there are other rooms, this is just not a living area
854303:16:37: <Benedict> Pillows.
854403:16:38: <Rainglove> gotta have somewhere to fuck up fireballs in
854503:16:56: <Hippocratesi> Aeria puts away her greatsword and crosses her arms.
854603:16:57: <Rainglove> they ain't jedi nigga these hardass sons of bitches summon hellfire
854703:17:00: <Goatsmith> Ah well.
854803:18:54: <Rainglove> That said, the blast did leave some structural integrity to be desired in this room. You probably want to get someone in here to fix up the rocks. If someone happens to have prepared mend (THE LEVEL 0 SPELL) they can do it.
854903:19:36: <Goatsmith> Waakanti goes to the town hall!
855003:20:52: <NachtRuine> Saav remains silent for a moment. "I will not apologize for what I have done, but I recognize that we did not take the appropriate actions. I will create a standard operating procedure for events such as this." With that, he goes to do so.
855103:22:13: <Benedict> "I will not apologize for the actions I wanted to take, but I will apologize for passions getting the better of me. I do not wish for murderous demons to live in my town, Saav. If it was a demon that did not have the magic to escape like this, I would be a bit more lenient." Nurel sighs, noting cracks and broken things. Oh wait, Saav probably already left.
855203:22:19: <Benedict> Nurel's apology: Ignored.
855303:22:43: <NachtRuine> Nah, Saav stopped when Nurel started speaking.
855403:22:46: <Goatsmith> Both parties miss the apology.
855503:22:53: <Goatsmith> Well, ome
855603:22:56: <Goatsmith> one*
855703:23:15: <Hippocratesi> "You have nothing to apologize for, Nurel."
855803:25:16: <NachtRuine> "I failed to consider the strength of the demon. I do not desire murderers to live among us either, but understand that I was trying to keep things from escalating past our control. My fault was expecting we had control in the first place. Should we find him again, I assure you we will destroy him without prejudice."
855903:26:13: <Benedict> That does give Nurel some relief. "I will try to listen to you and Waak, though do expect passion to get to me first. It's a goblin thing. Tell him I apologize if you see him first. I need to talk to the builders." And with that, Nurel goes to find those dwarves.
856003:28:01: <NachtRuine> Saav does a small bow to Nurel and Aeria, then goes off to create an SOP for what to do when an extraplanar being commits a high felony, a felony, and a misdemeanor, with regard to power of said being.
856103:28:01: <Goatsmith> Nikli*
856203:31:15: <Goatsmith> Waakanti is currently setting about looking at the bodies and talking to the guard about them. (we will just fill this in when Rain appears)
856303:34:56: <Goatsmith> Specifically he asks who they are and if they have any family. He's gotta go about buryin' 'em how they would have want.
856403:35:50: <Rainglove> The dead guard in the room that had the wolf in it did, but they're already there. The dead guy in the storeroom's been shuttled away to the local cleric/mortician.
856503:36:54: <Rainglove> Nurel locates his builders.
856603:37:09: <Goatsmith> Goooot it. He goes to talk to the present family, then. "Hello. I am High Priest Waakanti. I am dearly sorry for your loss."
856703:38:09: <Goatsmith> "Your son fought bravely, and even may have managed to save a life." He's unsure if Gwyn's waifu is around to corroborate.
856803:40:15: <Hippocratesi> >waifu
856903:40:18: <Hippocratesi> she was clearly cheating on the side
857003:40:21: <Hippocratesi> fuck that cunt
857103:40:27: <Hippocratesi> I'M GLAD HE'S DEAD
857203:40:47: <Goatsmith> But she's alive
857303:42:14: <Rainglove> A man, presumably the father, stands. He nods to Waakanti. "Thank you, it... He knew what he was getting into, joining the guard in times like these." He's not holding it together particularly well.
857403:42:52: <Hippocratesi> that's why i typed he
857503:42:59: <Hippocratesi> as in male
857603:43:02: <Hippocratesi> as in the half-elf
857703:44:06: <Benedict> Nurel tells builder mage house needs a-fixing.
857803:44:36: <Goatsmith> He sets his hand on the man's shoulder comfortingly. "I'm sure he is being rewarded for his bravery in the afterlife. If I hear word of his ethereal progress, I will let your family know." He offers them a smile.
857903:45:08: <Goatsmith> "Did your son, or do you, have any particular desires for his burial?"
858003:47:09: <Rainglove> There are no return smiles. The father shakes his head. "It wasn't something we thought needed to be discussed..."
858103:48:26: <Benedict> Nurel already has it written down what he wants done with his body, and he's only 16. Step it up, half-elves.
858203:49:04: <Goatsmith> "Are you comfortable with standard graveyard burial?"
858303:49:58: <Rainglove> He nods.
858403:52:50: <Goatsmith> Waakanti nods as well, withdrawing ten gold coin and giving it to the father. "This can never make up for your son's loss, but I hope it can help ease the process. If you need anything more, please come ask me."
858503:53:13: <Rainglove> He nods again. Family successfully dealt with.
858603:54:19: <Benedict> What a GOOD person.
858703:54:29: <NachtRuine> With that, Saav enters the hall. "You make a proper High Priest."
858803:54:51: <Goatsmith> Respect doesn't have to be GOOD.
858903:56:13: <Goatsmith> "If I respect anything, it is giving your life to protect others. It is what they both deserve."
859003:57:31: <NachtRuine> "Of course." A pause. "Nurel wishes to apologize for allowing his passions to overcome him."
859104:00:19: <Goatsmith> Waakanti sighs. "I had known this would happen with one of them. I do not apologize for my actions, as I did no wrong, and I place blame on his passion for allowing a distraction for its escape. But I will apologize for our inability to perform quickly and efficiently enough."
859204:01:36: <Goatsmith> "Hopefully we can set aside our differences in the future."
859304:02:04: <NachtRuine> "All of us are justified in our actions. None of us have to apologize for doing what we wanted to do, and in fact, none of us intend to. But we can acknowledge where we went wrong, and attempt to improve upon that."
859404:06:41: <Goatsmith> "He likely wants to remove the outsiders hiding within the mountains."
859504:07:58: <Benedict> Nurel gets those builders to fix mage house and then goes back to the town hall. King shit? Praying? Who knows.
859604:08:08: <Benedict> Oh, could Nurel make an engineering roll or is it too early?
859704:08:51: <Goatsmith> Waakanti and Saav are there speaking. There's blood and shit.
859804:09:10: <Benedict> Nurel is used to blood. It's so delicio- terrible. Absolutely terrible.
859904:09:40: <NachtRuine> "Likely. They did not seem aggressive when we went to the northern town, though. Yet that may soon change, given the events."
860004:10:27: <Goatsmith> "It seems a problem that they are there at all, after these events. You may want to inform the goblin."
860104:10:50: <Rainglove> he could benny, just in case I'm not here tomorrow
860204:11:54: <Benedict> 1d20+7 ENGINEERING IS A-GO
860304:11:54: <Dados> Benedict, ENGINEERING IS A-GO: 24 [1d20=17]
860404:12:08: <Rainglove> PROGRESS GET
860504:12:53: <Benedict> Nurel calms himself by planning out his gun design again. He thinks he's close to a final design, but there is just something missing to this pepperbox rifle. He worries that it would explode in his hand or get too hot. What else could he add to it... (one more roll for advanced firearms and bullets).
860604:13:36: <Rainglove> nurel is about to bring fire to the people
860704:14:53: <Goatsmith> "I am going to attempt to gather more information in the meantime." Aaand Waakanti is off to find the crypt with the cleric mortician!
860804:15:41: <NachtRuine> Saav gives a short bow to Waakanti as he leaves.
860904:17:44: <Rainglove> Waakanti finds his mortician. An elderly cleric is muttering over the corpse of the dead guy, holy magic readily apparent even at a distance.
861004:19:32: <Goatsmith> "Hello, cleric."
861104:21:38: <Rainglove> The cleric pauses, looking up. "Ah, hello. Is there something you need from me?"
861204:29:31: <Goatsmith> "Perhaps. I do need access to our newly deceased."
861304:34:09: <Rainglove> He gestures towards the corpse he is currently muttering over. "A truly depressing matter. Seems as though he was under the effects of a quest when he was killed."
861404:37:30: <Goatsmith> Waakanti's eyebrows raise. "Is that so? Do you know what it was?"
861504:40:14: <Rainglove> He shrugs. "It's a familiar type of magic, though I couldn't say precisely who did it. We get them like this every now and then though, and I'd /swear/ I've felt this kind of magic before." He frowns and looks back down at the dead dude, then shakes his head. "Probably just losing my mind. What'd you need him for?"
861604:42:28: <Goatsmith> "I wish to speak with him from beyond the grave. He has information important to the town."
861704:44:02: <Rainglove> "Feel free. I need to go make some notes anyway." The cleric moves to a nearby counter and starts writing.
861804:44:43: <Goatsmith> Waakanti casts Speak with Dead on the body!
861904:45:33: <Goatsmith> "What information did you have that the outsider wanted?"
862004:48:58: <Rainglove> HRRRRRK Corpse sits right the fuck up.
862104:49:43: <Goatsmith> Spoopy.
862204:49:55: <Rainglove> there's probably a skeleton inside him
862304:49:57: <Rainglove> right now
862404:50:37: <Goatsmith> 3Spoopy5Me
862504:50:52: <Rainglove> "Information about you and the others. The gestalts. Who you were."
862604:52:20: <Goatsmith> Waakanti hmm's. Perhaps this is why he had a quest on him. He tries to think of the next most important question to know.
862704:53:17: <Goatsmith> "Who put a quest on you?"
862804:55:06: <Rainglove> "There was a man, a red man. Didn't say who he was, just what he wanted."
862904:55:10: <Rainglove> *thump*
863004:55:41: <Goatsmith> Waakanti sighs. "It is a burden, not being powerful enough."
863104:56:36: <Rainglove> The corpse does not respond
863204:57:06: <Goatsmith> Dammit, you.
863305:00:16: <Goatsmith> "I don't suppose you have any, more powerful spells for such a thing?"
863405:00:27: <Goatsmith> He looks at the cleric.
863505:01:34: <Rainglove> The cleric shakes his head. "I ran a blood biography on him, nothing interesting. Killed an outsider, which you know, a few hours ago."
863605:01:38: <Rainglove> *by an
863705:02:35: <Goatsmith> "No details on this man in red?"
863805:03:47: <Rainglove> He shakes his head. "No idea. I'll let you know if I hear anything, though."
863905:04:20: <Goatsmith> Waakanti sighs. Just more questions, now. "Thank you."
864005:04:25: <Goatsmith> And then he leeeaves
864105:04:34: <Rainglove> The cleric returns to his work.
864222:51:38: <Goatwright> Waakanti is out meditating on his boulder again.
864322:52:25: <NachtRuine> Saav is walking around, still musing on the standard operating procedure for extraplanar beings who have violated the law.
864422:52:58: <Benedict> It should be death, Saav. Nurel waits in his room once again to pray. He hasn't it done for awhile. King duties. Shut up.
864522:53:43: <viejo> 1d20 all KIIIINDA underground gains
864622:53:43: <Dados> Viejo, all KIIIINDA underground gains: 15 [1d20=15]
864722:54:12: <viejo> Qoja is helping to build houses and shit.
864823:43:55: <Rainglove> BANG INVISIGUY
864923:43:57: <Rainglove> EVIL
865023:43:59: <Rainglove> FROM THE HALL
865123:44:41: <Benedict> Nurel always has to stop praying when he feels that EVIL in the air. Gods. Nurel grabs his musket and gets ready to GO.
865223:44:46: <NachtRuine> We there!
865323:45:35: <Rainglove> Inhuman hands woosh teleport you're in a field a few hundred feet away from the grove of trees. Fires are distantly visible. It is vurreh dark.
865423:46:16: <Benedict> 1d20+13 Let's be stealthy. LET'S GET DANGEROUS
865523:46:16: <Dados> Benedict, Let's be stealthy. LET'S GET DANGEROUS: 22 [1d20=9]
865623:46:19: <Rainglove> Run-time ACTIVATE
865723:46:26: <Rainglove> nurel's pretty stealthy
865823:46:56: <Goatwright> Waakanti waits for the signal! He cannot sneak.
865923:47:04: <Goatwright> Instead he just tries to stay low.
866023:48:06: <Benedict> "...Hmm. Is there a way to hide my aura? Won't be good if they can sense me." Nurel, of course, refers to his strong aura of GOOD.
866123:49:34: <Goatwright> "It would require a spell. Perhaps the invisible one has such a spell."
866223:50:07: <Benedict> WELL, DO YOU FAGGOT?
866323:50:39: <Rainglove> "I lack such abilities."
866423:51:04: <Benedict> "Then I will have to risk it, then."
866523:51:11: <NachtRuine> "If you give me time, I can prepare such a spell."
866623:51:22: <Benedict> "Do we have time?"
866723:51:51: <Rainglove> invisible shrug
866823:52:07: <Rainglove> "I believe so."
866923:52:35: <Goatwright> Waakanti fortunes everyone and starts his chantin'. Just in case we need it and everyone plans on stayin' close later.
867023:54:10: <Rainglove> well
867123:54:13: <Rainglove> awrite
867223:54:30: <NachtRuine> Saav meditates to get the spell Undetectable Alignment! TIME SKIP! Saav casts Undetectable Alignment on Nurel!
867323:54:45: <Rainglove> whambamwoosh
867423:54:53: <viejo> 1d20+14 stealthin'
867523:54:53: <Dados> Viejo, stealthin': 17 [1d20=3]
867623:54:56: <viejo> hrk
867723:54:59: <Rainglove> nurel is so neutral right now
867823:55:18: <Rainglove> Qojo falls over
867923:55:22: <Benedict> That was quick. Nurel stealths his way up to the cult's area. Hope he doesn't die, unless you want him to die. Then you can hope for that, I guess.
868023:55:23: <Rainglove> right into some nice grass
868123:56:04: <NachtRuine> Saav awaits the universal signal of shit blowin' up.
868223:56:55: <Rainglove> Nurel, there's all kinda of shit going on. That patch of dead vegetation you saw the other day (if you were there) is pulsing a deep red. A group of clerics chant over it, working some sort of arcane shit. People of various strengths wander about. You spot at least five or six antipaladins at the distance you're at.
868323:57:36: <Benedict> Nurel is so fucking disgusted right now.
868423:57:41: <Rainglove> But you get to the edge of the trees without anyone seeing you. The place they're storing stuff for use is pretty obviously located, near that pool of red, about halfway between it and the treeline.
868523:58:00: <Benedict> Any guards around/in that place?
868623:58:42: <Rainglove> one of the aforementioned antipaladins is sitting near there, leaning against a tree, sword sheathed. He doesn't seem to be terribly alert.
868723:59:02: <Goatwright> CHOKE HIS ASS OUT.
868823:59:18: <Rainglove> good fucking luck
868923:59:33: <Benedict> Nurel would love to choke his ass out or shoot him, but mission first. Nurel wants to get to that place to switch around alchemical stuff. Let's do that.
8690
8691 2014-10-04
8692
869300:00:23: <Benedict> Oh wait, is that antipaladin the group killed in town around? I'm suspecting he was revived.
869400:00:41: <Rainglove> Kinda hard to tell, they're all dressed in almost identical full-plate.
869500:01:13: <Benedict> Fags. Nurel likes light armor, himself. He continues to Alchemical Ingredients building. Should I roll anything?
869600:01:45: <Rainglove> You get behind the antipaladin with no trouble, and to the altar-thing. K Arcana or whatever your alchemy is in.
869700:02:20: <Benedict> 1d20+11 Guessing that means roll alchemy
869800:02:20: <Dados> Benedict, Guessing that means roll alchemy: 26 [1d20=15]
869900:02:34: <Rainglove> well
870000:02:39: <Rainglove> you identify the shit out of that stuff
870100:04:34: <Rainglove> You find the powder you're supposed to be replacing just fine. You recognize some of this stuff from... places. All those years in alchemist school. These are materials used to summon and bind evil critters, not the sort of stuff you'd expect to see from people who are summoning something that should like them.
870200:05:30: <Rainglove> You also manage to spot, from your new vantage point, el dwarfo from before, the one in charge of the town you're near. He seems rather heavily enchanted and completely oblivious to everything. Something about him just screams SACRIFICE TO THE ELDER GODS to you, but you're not really sure what.
870300:06:11: <Benedict> Gods damn it. Would those enchantments protect him from the explosion?
870400:06:33: <Rainglove> they'd keep him standing right where he is
870500:07:06: <Benedict> But would he be -alive-? Well, first, let's switch out the binding ingredients with "blows shit up" ingredients and get closer to the dwarf.
870600:07:54: <Rainglove> You manage to get closer, but unlike the altar the dwarf actually has people paying attention to him. Specifically a wizard or sorcerer of some sort, looking very bored right next to him.
870700:08:48: <Benedict> 1d20+8 Let's look for something that could distract them for a bit.
870800:08:48: <Dados> Benedict, Let's look for something that could distract them for a bit.: 12 [1d20=4]
870900:08:57: <Benedict> I'm not finding anything.
871000:09:05: <Rainglove> Your delicious goblin ass and some rocks.
871100:09:33: <Goatwright> If only they talked about signals beforehand.
871200:09:39: <Goatwright> Waakanti could try to make a distraction.
871300:10:12: <Benedict> Maybe we can start a small fire somewhere. Can we do that, Rain?
871400:10:25: <Rainglove> there are already several fires burning, but yes, you could start another one.
871500:12:28: <Rainglove> Saav, meanwhile, gets his attention rather rudely grabbed by a certain god of his. Something in the distance flares white, and someone only you can hear tells you that "He must live."
871600:13:05: <Goatwright> YOU GONNA START THAT FIRE, NUREL?
871700:13:19: <Benedict> NUREL GONNA START THAT FIRE. BURN, BABY, BURN.
871800:13:28: <NachtRuine> "Who?" Saav asks to apparently no one.
871900:13:53: <Goatwright> "Nobody has said anything," Waakanti says in a hushed tone. "Keep your voice low."
872000:14:13: <Rainglove> The white flares again. If you had to hazard a guess, you'd say whoever's glowing really brightly. people generally don't glow like that.
872100:14:34: <NachtRuine> Can Saav see who glows so brightly?
872200:15:09: <Rainglove> He's a fair ways out from the trees, but you can very dimly detect someone on the edge of the treeline.
872300:15:38: <Benedict> So, hey, fire starting.
872400:15:57: <Rainglove> Nurel manages to ignite some fallen pine needles.
872500:15:59: <Rainglove> You have fire.
872600:16:31: <Benedict> Look, lazy jackasses, fire! Nurel tries to get it spread on something flammable, but not something would burn the whole place down. He just needs to get close to the dwarf.
872700:17:50: <viejo> Qoja is eyeing up the curve in Aeria's back. Mmm.
872800:18:04: <Benedict> Degenerate.
872900:18:04: <NachtRuine> Saav whispers as he lowers his mask, "I have been spoken to. Someone come with me."
873000:18:23: <Rainglove> Nurel spreads his fire, and the base of whatever tree he's feeling up bursts into flame. The fire's of nurel's passion burn hot.
873100:18:32: <Rainglove> Someone, of course, notices and yells.
873200:18:45: <Rainglove> stealth nurel
873300:18:52: <Benedict> 1d20+13 Oh fuck oh fuck
873400:18:52: <Dados> Benedict, Oh fuck oh fuck: 30 [1d20=17]
873500:19:02: <Rainglove> goddamn
873600:19:16: <Rainglove> nurel becomes one with the forest and escapes from the newly started blaze unseen
873700:19:31: <Goatwright> Waakanti looks to Qojo. "I am not stealthy. The ape is."
873800:19:35: <Goatwright> "Take her."
873900:19:57: <NachtRuine> "Qojo. Come with me." He begins slowly moving towards the chosen one.
874000:20:06: <Benedict> Nurel wanted to see if he could take the dwarf with him, or at least put Protection From Evil on him. Or maybe see if he can replace the dwarf with someone that looks like a fatass dwarf but is really nothing more than a sack of potatoes with a helmet on.
874100:20:25: <Rainglove> A few people run away from the fire, a few people run for it, and your incredibly bored wizard decides to save the day by starting to magically dump water on it
874200:20:28: <Rainglove> you have not terribly long
874300:20:41: <Rainglove> but if you want to interact with him now is your best bet
874400:21:23: <Benedict> "Dwarf. Wake up." Nurel whispers to the captive and looks for something that would look like a dwarf to lazy fucking mages. If he can make another perception roll.
874500:22:13: <Benedict> VIEJO WAKE UP
874600:22:15: <Rainglove> Saav, you manage to close the distance unseen fairly easily. People are otherwise occupied. Your guy looks like an antipaladin, watching nurel's fire as disinterestedly as someone wearing a full helm can look.
874700:22:55: <viejo> Qoja follows to do whatever.
874800:23:12: <viejo> I already rolled badly for stealth.
874900:23:40: <NachtRuine> Damn. Antipaladins. The most unagreeable type of person.
875000:24:11: <NachtRuine> Knocking him out and putting him somewhere safe probably isn't the best plan, but neither is getting his attention.
875100:25:40: <Rainglove> Nurel, the dwarf doesn't respond to your speakin'. He's too hopped up on mind-control magic.
875200:26:26: <Rainglove> You could probably put something together if you had a few minutes, but you have seconds right now.
875300:26:56: <Benedict> Fuck. Cast Protection from Evil on him and get the fuck innawoods.
875400:27:05: <NachtRuine> 1d20+14 sense motive for likelihood that he'll kill us on sight
875500:27:05: <Dados> NachtRuine, sense motive for likelihood that he'll kill us on sight: 34 [1d20=20]
875600:27:26: <viejo> and, additionally, what is his favourite colour?
875700:28:06: <Rainglove> He's probably murder the shit out of you if he's anything like the last antipaladin, which he is
875800:28:11: <Rainglove> he's fond of orange
875900:28:29: <Benedict> Sounds like we need to capture a prisoner. Nurel stealths his way back to the main group.
876000:28:43: <Rainglove> saav and qojo are mysteriously missing
876100:29:15: <Goatwright> Waakanti is there!
876200:29:18: <Goatwright> Aeria is napping or something.
876300:29:20: <NachtRuine> Then knocking him out is the only option. He whispers to Qojo, "He must be incapacitated. Do not kill him."
876400:30:26: <Benedict> "Bad news. Hopefully what I did will help, but still bad news." Whisper whisper
876500:32:50: <Goatwright> "What is the bad news?"
876600:32:57: <viejo> "Let's hope this goes better than that damn summoner..."
876700:33:29: <Benedict> "Dwarf leader is being used as a sacrifice. I cast a spell on him that should protect him for a bit."
876800:34:15: <Goatwright> "And you cannot get him away?"
876900:34:23: <NachtRuine> "We have surprise. You do your thing, I'll do mine."
877000:34:58: <Benedict> "He is being watched closely by two spellcasters. Unless you wouldn't mind me ruining our plan to blow up this encampment, the spell will have to do.
877100:35:02: <Benedict> endquote*
877200:35:27: <viejo> "I can try and sneak up on him if ya want."
877300:35:43: <Goatwright> "Why could you not blow up the encampment? Would it kill him?"
877400:35:52: <viejo> It would be extremely painful.
877500:36:02: <Goatwright> For you.
877600:36:21: <NachtRuine> "If you feel you can. I can assist with that, with my touch." He refers to the Touch of Law.
877700:36:23: <Rainglove> no, it's uh
877800:36:24: <Rainglove> hurt them all
877900:36:26: <Rainglove> pretty bad
878000:36:46: <viejo> "Ready when you are."
878100:36:57: <Benedict> "Because I do not have all the ingredients nor the time to cause an explosion, but they do." Nurel then remembers. "There was also... another thing. The alchemical ingredients they had... it did not seem like it was for summoning their god. It was more for binding a creature."
878200:37:17: <NachtRuine> Saav gives Qojo the Touch of Law. "Go for it."
878300:37:23: <viejo> What bonus is it?
878400:37:29: <Rainglove> free 11
878500:37:34: <Rainglove> no need to roll
878600:37:42: <NachtRuine> you can if you want, but yknow
878700:37:44: <NachtRuine> luck
878800:37:44: <Goatwright> "This still seems potentially dangerous, does it not?"
878900:37:47: <viejo> Ah yeah, noice. Stealth of 35 then.
879000:37:53: <viejo> 25*
879100:37:54: <Rainglove> qojo becomes the night
879200:37:56: <Rainglove> oh
879300:38:04: <Rainglove> qojo becomes very hard to see
879400:38:05: <Benedict> "I only had seconds to act."
879500:38:50: <Benedict> "My spell should protect the dwarf, though. Evil creatures will not touch him, and they had their own spells on him that will no doubt protect him. Don't want their... 'sacrifice' dying early."
879600:39:35: <Rainglove> Right as nurel mentions sacrifices, a white flash blasts out from the center of the encampment. Will saves errybody.
879700:39:50: <NachtRuine> 1d20+9 hrk
879800:39:50: <Dados> NachtRuine, hrk: 20 [1d20=11]
879900:40:01: <Benedict> 1d20+8 Protect me, Ulinazi!
880000:40:01: <Dados> Benedict, Protect me, Ulinazi!: 9 [1d20=1]
880100:40:03: <NachtRuine> does qojo still get that touch of law?
880200:40:04: <Benedict> ded
880300:40:22: <Rainglove> she can save it if she wants to, since the stealth didn't uh
880400:40:23: <Rainglove> do anything
880500:40:33: <Goatwright> 1d20+8
880600:40:33: <Dados> Goatwright, 1d20+8: 21 [1d20=13]
880700:40:59: <Rainglove> VIEJO
880800:41:13: <viejo> what am I doing
880900:41:18: <Rainglove> will save plox
881000:41:26: <Rainglove> or you can take the 11 from touch of law since stealth sort of
881100:41:26: <viejo> enchantment?
881200:41:30: <Rainglove> no
881300:41:30: <Rainglove> got overriden
881400:41:58: <viejo> 1d20+7
881500:41:58: <Dados> Viejo, 1d20+7: 16 [1d20=9]
881600:42:01: <viejo> meh
881700:43:15: <Benedict> Hippocratesi, roll Will.
881800:44:31: <Hippocratesi> 1d20+6
881900:44:31: <Dados> Hippocratesi, 1d20+6: 8 [1d20=2]
882000:45:12: <Rainglove> Nurel and qojo are completely blinded by the blast, the afterimage of some ungodly massive burned into your eyelids. Saav and Waakanti manage to retain their vision, but everyone's thrown to the ground. You hear something roar, someone yell something about the circle being destroyed, and general chaos.
882100:45:22: <Rainglove> *ungodly massive thing, goddamn typos
882200:45:29: <Goatwright> What about Hippo?
882300:45:38: <viejo> Qoja presumably yelps.
882400:45:39: <Rainglove> blind
882500:45:47: <viejo> As in PERMANENTLY?
882600:45:51: <Rainglove> naw
882700:45:55: <Goatwright> I HAVE A SPELL FOR THA- oh
882800:45:57: <Benedict> Nurel falls to the ground, blinded and silent. No, wait, he's screaming.
882900:46:47: <Hippocratesi> Aeria is in a great deal of pain, for the eyes are a sensitive thing.
883000:46:47: <NachtRuine> Saav rubs at his eyes, trying to regain his focus and trying to figure out what the Hell just happened.
883100:47:45: <Goatwright> Waakanti quickly scrambles to his feet, readying his spells and such.
883200:48:05: <Goatwright> What do his eyes see? What is going on by the camp?
883300:48:21: <Rainglove> Saav, you see a very large, very evil thing murdering a very large number of cultists. Your antipaladin bro is charging towards it, sword drawn, and occasionally being stopped dead by trees in his way.
883400:48:41: <Rainglove> Waakanti also sees this, though he doesn't have the advantage of seeing the antipaladin outlined in white light
883500:49:07: <Rainglove> The dwarf is still standing in the clearing, on the ground and seemingly injured, but he's not being eaten, so that's something.
883600:49:36: <Goatwright> Waakanti turns to look at Saav! "Perhaps now is time for my initial plan."
883700:50:56: <Benedict> Nurel would like to see again, please.
883800:51:03: <NachtRuine> "He must live!" Saav scrambles to his feet and tries to catch up to the antipaladin.
883900:51:55: <Rainglove> You see something else appear in the forest from the direction you were originally camped in, before sneaking around to antipaladin man. Some many-armed something, wielding what looks like four or six swords simultaneously, slicing its way through cultists and weaving its way towards the evil summoned... whatever.
884000:52:13: <Rainglove> Distant maniacal laughter reaches your ears. That would seem to be invisiguy.
884100:52:18: <Rainglove> Nurel, you blind as shit.
884200:53:03: <Benedict> Nurel misses seeing things, but at least he still got his hearing.
884300:53:17: <Rainglove> Saav, luckily for you the antipaladin seems to have failed his save. He's trying to fight his way through a very large tree at the moment, apparently half-blind.
884400:53:49: <viejo> Qoja just tries to hide as well as one can who cannot see. It's all ogre/
884500:54:36: <Goatwright> Well, everything's dying. Waakanti decides to... help out, I guess?
884600:54:43: <Goatwright> He casts Call Lightning!
884700:54:45: <NachtRuine> Saav speaks to the antipaladin, staying well out of range. "Antipaladin! You must live!
884800:54:59: <Rainglove> Try another save, Nurel and qoja
884900:55:06: <viejo> 1d20+7 habbeb
885000:55:06: <Dados> Viejo, habbeb: 14 [1d20=7]
885100:55:10: <viejo> nonhabbeb
885200:55:19: <Benedict> 1d20+8 Pls
885300:55:19: <Dados> Benedict, Pls: 10 [1d20=2]
885400:55:19: <Rainglove> Saav, the antipaladin swings around blindly. "Who's there?!"
885500:55:21: <Benedict> Nope
885600:55:36: <viejo> Let's call out to each other, crawl to find each other, and cuddle.~
885700:55:49: <Goatwright> Gross.
885800:55:59: <Benedict> I don't fuck apes.
885900:56:18: <NachtRuine> "I am an agent of Cath'paz! He wills you to live!"
886000:56:19: <Rainglove> Waakanti what are you uh
886100:56:21: <Rainglove> trying to do?
886200:57:00: <Goatwright> I'm gonna help kill some cultists?
886300:57:14: <Goatwright> I don't want to just sit here and watch everyone die while having accomplished nothing.
886400:57:22: <Rainglove> well alright
886500:57:27: <Rainglove> you smite some cultists
886600:57:35: <Goatwright> That's not very climactic
886700:57:40: <Goatwright> he
886800:57:40: <Goatwright> s-so yeah
886900:57:46: <Goatwright> zaps niggas with lightning
887000:58:49: <Rainglove> the niggas are too busy running for their lives to notice. A good number of them are headed your way, actually, away from invisiguy and the giant demonic whatever they've summoned. Since the people are moving this way, so are the monsters.
887101:00:25: <Rainglove> Saav, the antipaladin seems rather confused. "I must protect the high priest! His life is of greater worth than ten of my own!" he launches into some rant about the worthlessness of his own life compared to the priest's. Thinking back, you vaguely remember a bit of priestly cloth dangling from the demon thing's jaws.
887201:01:19: <Rainglove> Waakanti, you do fry some people. An antipaladin sparks and pops rather amusingly as he thunks into the ground.
887301:01:32: <Rainglove> On the other hand, giant evil abomination coming at you.
887401:01:48: <Goatwright> Ah yes, Waakanti supposes that is an issue.
887501:01:49: <Rainglove> Nurel and qojo you save because fuck dados.
887601:02:02: <Goatwright> Can Waakanti call lightning onto the face of said giant evil abomination?
887701:02:19: <Rainglove> he will make it rather angry, but yes
887801:02:36: <Goatwright> Will it, idunno, blind it?
887901:02:42: <NachtRuine> "You have a greater design! You are not meant to die here!"
888001:02:58: <Rainglove> it'll do 3d6 damage
888101:03:08: <Goatwright> Well
888201:03:37: <Benedict> Nurel was blind, but now, he sees! "<Ulinazi, next time, please don't let me be blind for so long.>" Nurel makes a plead to his god and assesses the situation. Cultists running. That's good. 6-armed maniac running around. That's... probably not good. Abomination was summoned. That is not good.
888301:04:07: <ViejoOsoGrande> Qoja is presumably shocked at all the shit going on.
888401:04:28: <Goatwright> Waakanti uses Evil Eye on the abomination! -2 to Saves!
888501:04:31: <Goatwright> He's gotta try something
888601:04:37: <Benedict> Nurel doesn't have time to be shocked. Pop pop pop, let's make some cultists drop. With bullets.
888701:04:38: <Rainglove> Qoja and nurel a giant demonic abomination is staggering towards you from a decent distance away, sweeping cultists away left and right
888801:04:45: <Rainglove> waakanti is attempting to curse the giant evil abomination
888901:05:14: <Benedict> Oh, right, let's focus on that abomination instead. "<Well, if I have to die, let's die to something big.>" It obviously detects as EVIL, right?
889001:05:29: <Rainglove> overpoweringly so
889101:05:36: <Goatwright> About how soon until that giant evil abomination gets here?
889201:05:42: <Rainglove> two rounds
889301:06:02: <Benedict> SMITE EVIL!
889401:06:08: <ViejoOsoGrande> can I get an idea of how powerful this shitbag is
889501:06:11: <Rainglove> Saav, the antipaladin stops talking as he regains his vision. He looks around, plainly shocked, and just sort of stares for a second. Then he nods to you, and his voice is a little shaky when he speaks. "Perhaps you are in the right."
889601:06:20: <Goatwright> Okay. Waakanti tries to Slumber it! Pls! Roll Will! (pls!)
889701:06:25: <Rainglove> Well, you probably can't trip it
889801:06:26: <Goatwright> -2 to his save ;_;

890801:07:59: <Goatwright> So close though,
890901:08:07: <Benedict> Nurel is smiting evil on that big blob of abomination.
891001:08:26: <Rainglove> either decide on a turn order or roll initiative before we keep going
891101:08:41: <viejo> 1d20+7 whatever knowledge roll is relevant

892901:09:46: <viejo> kek
893001:11:04: <Rainglove> Qojo that roll gives you a bit more knowledge than you were looking for. Invisiguy, who is still slowly working his way over here, is an Asura, something that basically amounts to a cosmic oopsie. They reincarnate infinitely and basically want to destroy everything.
893101:11:37: <Benedict> Oh fucking wonderful.
893201:12:27: <Rainglove> The giant guy slamming his way towards you, you're not sure. Probably something off the infernal plane. Probably a very large demon of some sort. Odds are he has at least /some/ innate magical ability, however dumb he looks.
893301:12:50: <NachtRuine> Saav sees his entourage about to fight. "Now go
893401:12:58: <NachtRuine> !" He runs back to them.

900801:31:19: <Goatwright> Waakanti casts Protection against Evil on Aeria.
900901:32:19: <Rainglove> -2 to hit her, right?
901001:32:28: <Goatwright> http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/all-spells/p/protection-from-evil
901101:32:35: <Goatwright> If it's a physical hit it can't even touch her
901201:32:38: <Goatwright> unless it's using a weapon
901301:33:23: <Rainglove> it's like you expected to be fighting evil or something
901401:33:32: <Goatwright> : )
901501:33:59: <Rainglove> Whatever that thing is rears back and brings its hands together to pancake aeria
901601:34:34: <Hippocratesi> Aeria just looks at it.
901701:34:43: <Rainglove> Unfortunately Waakanti is part jesus and it reels back as its attack just bounces the fuck off
901801:34:53: <Rainglove> that's embarrassing
901901:35:04: <Benedict> Everyone point and laugh.
902001:35:28: <Goatwright> Waakanti looks PRETTY DAMN PROUD OF HIMSELF. "Aeria, it ends when you attack!" He shouts over at her.
902101:38:10: <Rainglove> No longer invisiguy is two rounds away, but he's close enough to try to hurt you. He waves one arm, and a wall of flame bursts into existence on top of Aeria, between the demon and the rest of the party. Heat rolls over you all. Those of you who are not aeria eat...
902201:38:20: <Rainglove> 2d4
902301:38:20: <Dados> Rainglove, 2d4: 6 [2d4=3,3]

903101:39:33: <Rainglove> clink
903201:40:16: <Rainglove> The wall of fire is still there, for reference, and deals damage on invisiguy's turn unless you resist it somehow
903301:40:35: <Benedict> Oh, my turn?
903401:40:42: <NachtRuine> no i still got stuff
903501:40:48: <NachtRuine> just thinkan

904101:42:30: <Rainglove> you control it
904201:45:00: <NachtRuine> Saav has it attack the beast then.
904301:45:12: <NachtRuine> In a flanking position, of course
904401:45:56: <Dados> NachtRuine, IGH: 10 [1d20=6]
904501:45:57: <NachtRuine> 1d20+4 IGH
904601:46:07: <NachtRuine> nop
904701:46:33: <Rainglove> you'd add 2 to that for flanking but still don't hit
904801:46:37: <Rainglove> nurel's turn
904901:47:12: <Benedict> How many feet do I need to take to step away from no-longer-invisiguy and get out of the flames?
905001:47:31: <Rainglove> the heat'll still affect you very slightly up to 30 feet away
905101:47:40: <Rainglove> 20 feet
905201:48:20: <Benedict> Move out and away from the flame and cast SMITE EVIL on the demon that Nurel knew was a bad egg.
905301:48:43: <Rainglove> you're not smiting the big demon anymore, but you got the littly guy
905401:48:49: <Rainglove> he's outside touch attack range

910101:57:48: <Rainglove> stop drop and roll kids
910201:57:50: <Goatwright> And then he calls down his earlier lightning on the demon.
910301:57:53: <Rainglove> only you can prevent giant fires

910701:58:37: <Benedict> RIP Aeria.
910801:59:40: <Rainglove> Big demon is half-dead but still has enough energy to royally fuck you over. Rather than flatten aeria, it spins out a greater burning sphere and throws it through her and towards the party.

916002:06:05: <Rainglove> clapclapclap
916102:06:43: <Rainglove> The demon just sort of collapses in a pile of swords and arms as qojo stares at him sassily.
916202:06:59: <Rainglove> A single strand of spaghetti flies off into the woods
916302:07:15: <viejo> straight through a portal and into Bert's pockets
916402:07:17: <Rainglove> he is tripped and has dropped everything
916502:07:20: <Rainglove> saav's turn
916602:07:22: <Benedict> Nurel's attack earlier obviously helped.

917202:09:05: <Rainglove> Nurel's turn
917302:09:10: <NachtRuine> Saav, being uncomfortably close to death, casts cure serious wounds on himself.

923102:14:51: <Rainglove> Aeria impales the shit out of demon guy's face.
923202:14:53: <Rainglove> He explodes.
923302:15:03: <Benedict> Just invisifucker left.
923402:15:22: <Benedict> GOATWRIGHT
923502:15:25: <Goatwright> YES
923602:15:26: <Goatwright> HELLO
923702:15:32: <Benedict> THE POWER IS YOURS
923802:15:35: <Goatwright> Is invisifucker under any particular damage?
923902:15:44: <Benedict> He's suffering 78 damage and is prone.
924002:15:55: <Rainglove> invisifucker is on the floor suffering from spaghetti-induced seizures
924102:17:43: <Goatwright> Waakanti does the unthinkable! The unimaginable! The incredible!
924202:17:54: <Goatwright> He casts Enlarge Person on Qojo. GO NUTS, MONKEY TITS, WITH YOUR LARGE FISTS.
924302:18:03: <viejo> kek
924402:18:04: <Rainglove> invisiguy HRK STANDS

924902:18:32: <viejo> I just don't care
925002:19:39: <Rainglove> invisiguy seems
925102:19:44: <Rainglove> horrifyingly confused
925202:19:57: <Rainglove> He opts to punch qojo in the gut because he cannot reach her face
925302:20:05: <Dados> Rainglove, muh serds: 23 [1d20=8]
925402:20:05: <Rainglove> 1d20+15 muh serds
925502:20:13: <viejo> yes
925602:20:13: <Rainglove> this does what like
925702:20:18: <viejo> oh wait
925802:20:20: <viejo> I can immediate action
925902:20:24: <Rainglove> oh right
926002:20:26: <Rainglove> well
926102:20:43: <viejo> 1d20+20
926202:20:43: <Dados> Viejo, 1d20+20: 40 [1d20=20]
926302:20:52: <viejo> also he misses because of the -4 to-hit
926402:20:55: <viejo> (sun)
926502:20:56: <Rainglove> qojo trips invisiguy into space
926602:21:02: <viejo> annnddd
926702:21:05: <Rainglove> he goes flying into the sky from her newfound strength
926802:21:11: <Rainglove> several seconds later he comes back down
926902:21:14: <viejo> 1d20+15
927002:21:14: <Dados> Viejo, 1d20+15: 21 [1d20=6]
927102:21:57: <Benedict> Impressive. Nurel claps like an American.
927202:22:20: <NachtRuine> Saav's kinda left speechless.
927302:22:21: <Goatwright> -1 to that attack but hopefully it doesn't matter
927402:22:31: <Rainglove> Invisiguy, being denied his dex bonus to anything, lands on qojo's upstretched fist
927502:22:33: <Rainglove> he explodes
927602:22:38: <Rainglove> qojo looks like an anime character
927702:22:50: <Rainglove> the world is saved
927802:22:52: <Hippocratesi> Aeria applauds. Good monkey.
927902:22:54: <Rainglove> I quit
928002:23:03: <viejo> 2d6+6
928102:23:03: <Dados> Viejo, 2d6+6: 13 [2d6=1,6]
928202:24:10: <NachtRuine> r-rain-sama?
928302:24:23: <viejo> Apparently Qoja is over 11ft and 1320lbs.
928402:24:36: <Hippocratesi> what a fatass
928502:25:19: <Benedict> Do we... do we do a victory pose? Oh wait, shit, that dwarf. If the battle is over, Nurel is going to check on that guy.
928602:26:04: <viejo> 1d20+13 do my huge eyes see anything from this height
928702:26:04: <Dados> Viejo, do my huge eyes see anything from this height: 18 [1d20=5]
928802:26:37: <Goatwright> Waakanti quickly shrinks Qojo back down, assuming combat is done.
928902:26:46: <Goatwright> Sorry Qojo, Waakanti doesn't like being reminded of his once glorious stature for too long.
929002:27:11: <Goatwright> "All who are in need of healing, please gather closely."
929102:27:14: <Rainglove> What's that you see qojo?
929202:27:27: <Rainglove> A distant glimpse of that demon's dignity?
929302:27:29: <Hippocratesi> Aeria gathers.
929402:27:30: <Rainglove> oh, no, it's gone
929502:27:33: <Hippocratesi> Closely.
929602:27:42: <viejo> I think I see a cloud in the shape of spaghetti!
929702:27:47: <Rainglove> The dwarf is still down there, tipped over
929802:27:52: <Rainglove> Still holding still
929902:28:04: <Rainglove> he seems a little crispy but otherwise alright
930002:28:06: <NachtRuine> Saav looks over himself. A good number of wounds still, but still capable. He takes the heals anyways.
930102:28:14: <viejo> Qoja relays the information she got from the earlier knowledge roll. What, you think I wrote it down anywhere or remember it?
930202:28:22: <viejo> By Asura by Asura by Asura!
930302:28:27: <Goatwright> Anybody who got close gets
930402:28:32: <Goatwright> 6d6
930502:28:32: <Dados> Goatwright, 6d6: 17 [6d6=5,2,2,2,1,5]
930602:28:38: <Benedict> Nurel casts lay on hands on the dwarf. Twice.
930702:28:39: <Benedict> 2d6
930802:28:39: <Dados> Benedict, 2d6: 6 [2d6=3,3]
930902:28:40: <Benedict> 2d6
931002:28:40: <Dados> Benedict, 2d6: 6 [2d6=2,4]
931102:28:41: <Goatwright> Including himself, Hooray!
931202:29:07: <Rainglove> The dwarf is significantly less crispy.
931302:29:18: <NachtRuine> Saav is super mega healed. He dispels the weapon and sends the fire elemental back where it came from.
931402:29:20: <Rainglove> He blinks and looks around, suddenly awake. "Wh-what just..."
931502:29:42: <Goatwright> Waakanti has most of his health back.
931602:29:44: <Benedict> "Easy. Catch your breath. Luckily you missed most of it."
931702:30:25: <Rainglove> He does not seem much calmed. It comes to your attention that there are a large number of dead people around you.
931802:30:26: <NachtRuine> Saav would help more, but he was selfish and took the Cure Serious Wounds for himself. So he instead looks around to see if that antipaladin is still around here.
931902:30:37: <Rainglove> Also, conveniently, a large number of very valuable dead people's things.
932002:30:46: <Benedict> Nurel ain't no liar. "A cult designing itself as your elite guard in town intended to sacrifice you to an outsider and gain control over it. The ritual failed. The cult is dead. The outsider is dead." Dead people are normal for Nurel. Because he was surrounded by his DEAD TRIBE a year ago.
932102:30:57: <Hippocratesi> Aeria starts looking through corpses. For loot.
932202:31:21: <Rainglove> well lookit that aeria
932302:31:23: <Rainglove> loot
932402:31:37: <NachtRuine> Saav has respect for the dead and would not dare to take something from a dead body unless he needs it more.
932502:31:51: <Rainglove> well
932602:31:53: <Rainglove> they don't need it
932702:32:07: <NachtRuine> True. Saav looks about, presumably not finding that antipaladin.
932802:32:09: <Goatwright> Waakanti goes and looks for those alchemical/magical supplies used to summon the bad guy.
932902:33:43: <Benedict> Obviously the dwarf is stunned by this revelation.
933002:33:51: <Rainglove> in shock
933102:34:38: <Rainglove> He just
933202:34:40: <Rainglove> takes a minute
933302:34:42: <Rainglove> to process this
933402:34:49: <NachtRuine> So no antipaladin anywhere around?
933502:35:00: <Rainglove> Not that you can see, but you could follow him if you wanted to
933602:35:01: <Benedict> I'm sure if he looks at the corpses he'll see his former "elite guards".
933702:35:19: <Rainglove> while the EEEEVILLL in the area is overpowering, his smaller trail is readily detectable
933802:35:48: <NachtRuine> The dead bodies aren't going anywhere. Saav, on the other hand, is. "I'll be back." He tracks the trail.
933902:36:00: <Rainglove> He is pretty aware you're telling the truth.
934002:36:08: <Hippocratesi> Aeria approaches the shocked dwarf. "Were you truly unaware of this cult?"
934102:36:38: <Benedict> "They intended to use him as a sacrifice. He was put under mind control before the ritual started. I believe he was unaware, Aeria."
934202:37:14: <Rainglove> He sort of recovers after a moment. "You... have my thanks, then. I am indebted to you, but I will need to wait before you ask me to fulfill that debt."
934302:37:22: <Rainglove> He looks like he's about to lose his lunch
934402:37:25: <Rainglove> and the rest of his meals
934502:38:09: <Benedict> "Do not consider it a debt. You do not need to repay me nor repay my town. If you need an escort back to your town, we can provide one." He looks to the corpses. "Though, if you wish for your town to claim anything off this cult, I would ask that my group be allowed to take what they want first."
934602:39:02: <Rainglove> Saav, the antipaladin isn't that far away. He's sitting against a tree, sword and helm on the ground beside him. He starts when you approach, then settles back to the ground when he sees you. "Who- Ah. Thanks for your... whatever that was, back there."
934702:39:04: <Goatwright> ARE THERE NO REMAINING MAGIC SUPPLIES?
934802:39:25: <Rainglove> The dwarf gives you the "Go the fuck ahead" wave
934902:39:35: <Rainglove> Rain gives you the "I need to roll this shit" wave
935002:39:40: <Hippocratesi> "Rest as long as you need to, Laytos. Take it easy."
935102:40:18: <Benedict> And so Nurel goes away collecting magical-seeming items for the group to take back to town, but what magical items he does not know, because Rain needs to roll. What about money? How much of that do we get?
935202:40:45: <NachtRuine> "It was not I who saved you. It was Cath'paz. Are you part of this cult. Or, were you."
935302:41:34: <Rainglove> A glorious, delicious 3K
935402:41:46: <Rainglove> plus whatever you sell later
935502:41:52: <Rainglove> I am sure there will be something
935602:42:08: <Benedict> 3K for everyone! Once Nurel is done collecting, he offers a hand to the dwarf to assist him up. "I will take you back to your town."
935702:42:58: <Goatwright> Waakanti, idunno, makes himself useful.
935802:46:14: <Goatwright> s-so uh, we end up in the north town?
935902:46:54: <Rainglove> shore
936002:47:22: <Rainglove> Saav, the antipaladin nods. "I am. Or was. I'm... not sure."
936102:48:54: <Benedict> Here you go, dwarf, you're welcome. Back to town. Don't need no thanks, but you can tell everyone that we're big heroes.
936202:49:24: <Goatwright> Maybe hook us up with some bitches.
936302:49:28: <Goatwright> Or some magic artifacts.
936402:49:29: <Goatwright> Y'know
936502:49:53: <NachtRuine> "What was the ulterior intention of the ritual. Why did they do this."
936602:53:08: <Rainglove> "We were to summon a creature from beyond, and the priest was to bind it. Then we'd... well, I'm sure you can figure out the rest. Press people to serve us, destroy those who refuse."
936702:58:09: <NachtRuine> Saav nods with understanding. "Once you are able to, you should leave, or hide. There are people here who would hunt you down, and neither of us wants that to happen. May our paths not cross again, barring Cath'paz's will." With that answer, and no other questions, he leaves.
936802:58:47: <Rainglove> The antipaladin doesn't follow him
936902:59:59: <Rainglove> well your mode of instantaneous transportation between towns has been /brutally/ fisted by qojo
937003:00:42: <NachtRuine> Saav returns to the group. "We must walk the way back. Does everyone have the proper rations for such a trip?"
937103:01:52: <Goatsmith> "I believe we are in a town, with newly acquired wealth."
937203:03:11: <Benedict> "I did not pack food. I should have, because I never trusted an invisible man." ...Was that invisible man red by any chance?
937303:03:22: <Rainglove> he was very much not red
937403:03:58: <Goatsmith> One day we will find that guy.
937503:04:56: <Hippocratesi> "At least he's gone."
937603:06:59: <NachtRuine> "The purpose of the ritual was to bind the outsider, and use it to conquer, and force others to serve them."
937703:08:20: <NachtRuine> "Thus it worked out for the better that we interrupted it, for had we simply killed the bound outsider, the cult would likely still remain."
937803:08:21: <Goatsmith> "Ultimately we would not have known about it without the imvisible outsider."
937903:09:10: <NachtRuine> "I do not believe it expected to fight Qojo."
938003:09:22: <Benedict> "I know the ritual was to bind the creature. I told Nikli that."
938103:10:40: <Benedict> "We gathered magic items off the cult. We'll need our magister to identify them when we go home." Nurel wants to go home.
938203:11:45: <Hippocratesi> "Would it be safe to leave now?"
938303:13:08: <Goatsmith> "They still have guards remaining."
938403:13:46: <NachtRuine> "Not to mention the beings on the path that we saw last time."
938503:14:54: <Goatsmith> "The other evil outsiders," Waakanti reminds.
938603:15:33: <Hippocratesi> "Right. Morning then."
938703:17:54: <Rainglove> THE DAWN COMES
938803:19:46: <NachtRuine> Saav meditates. He calls to Cath'paz, asking a question. "Why would you have me save an antipaladin, an agent of chaos?"
938903:21:16: <Rainglove> god don't respond
939003:22:00: <NachtRuine> Hrm. He asks, "Am I at least closer to having paid my debt?"
939103:25:19: <Benedict> Nope.
939203:25:42: <NachtRuine> Nope as in no response or nope as in not closer?
939303:27:07: <Rainglove> no response
939403:27:08: <Benedict> Both.
939503:27:18: <Rainglove> benny's mother
939603:29:05: <NachtRuine> Saav is perturbed by this. He looks to his shackles, and he tries to remove them. If the debt is paid off, they should come off now.
939703:29:37: <Rainglove> *clink*
939803:29:49: <Rainglove> off they go
939903:32:04: <NachtRuine> Saav's hands shake with this. His holy symbol, no longer responsive. His mask, no longer enchanted. His holy text, worthless. Saav is simply awestruck.
940003:32:29: <Goatsmith> Waakanti notices. "Are you alright?"
940103:32:50: <Hippocratesi> "Saavou?"
940203:33:46: <NachtRuine> Saav looks up to the giant and the angel. He holds up his wrists, hands still shaky, an uncharacteristically dark pigment compared to the rest of his skin. "I-I-I'm free." He looks about ready to bust into tears.
940303:34:55: <Hippocratesi> "Free? You mean...?"
940403:36:22: <NachtRuine> Aeria, you cannot detect an ounce of evil on Saav. "I'm my own master now."
940503:37:05: <Goatsmith> "Welcome to your new life. My people celebrate such life-changing events with a name change, but you may not find this suitable."
940603:38:14: <Hippocratesi> "I am happy for you, Saavou, truly."
940703:39:22: <NachtRuine> "My name was once too long to say in a single breath. Many titles were given to me, but none of them were mine. From now on, I'm just Saavou Dresel."
940803:41:14: <Hippocratesi> "And what of your powers? You lack a God now."
940903:42:21: <NachtRuine> "Gone. I will be incapable of adventuring until I am able to find a new god."
941003:43:03: <NachtRuine> He seems to have composed himself now.
941103:43:15: <Benedict> Nurel is happy for his friend, and he takes the shackles off the floor. "You could smelt these down and make them into something to represent your freedom."
941203:45:11: <NachtRuine> Saav looks to his mask, and holds it in his hands. "You will also find that I will not be able to speak in my monotone anymore. The mask has been disenchanted." He looks to Nurel. "I will ponder on it, friend."
941303:46:00: <Goatsmith> "Will you be searching for a new religion, then?"
941403:46:54: <Benedict> "Be good to hear you with emotions, for once." Nurel tries to think of some Lawful gods that would suit Saavou. Not goblin gods, he isn't going to force a non-goblin to have goblin beliefs.
941503:47:34: <NachtRuine> "Yes, I believe so. I am not fit for any other role. But now I am free to choose a god who fits my morals, and not be chosen instead."
941603:50:56: <Benedict> "Well, we have books on gods back in the Town Hall, with rituals on how to summon them. I guess a good start is there."
941703:51:39: <Hippocratesi> when the hell did we get that
941803:51:56: <Rainglove> king nurel wrote it
941903:51:57: <NachtRuine> I think he means contact, not summon
942003:52:00: <Rainglove> two days ago
942103:54:01: <NachtRuine> He nods. "I thank you for being here for me... Friends." It is clear he's uncomfortable with this wave of emotion that has hit him as a result of his freedom. "Nearly seven years of slavery have just ended."
942203:54:20: <Benedict> What's this "friends" bullshit.
942303:54:47: <NachtRuine> Fuck you, they're friends.
942403:54:50: <Goatsmith> Waakanti thinks that's some weird shit, too.
942503:54:58: <Goatsmith> But he lets him just run along with it I guess.
942603:55:08: <Hippocratesi> Aeria just smiles politely.
942703:55:37: <Benedict> Aeria x Saav.
942803:55:58: <Hippocratesi> neutral is disgust
942903:56:10: <Goatsmith> g-guess Waakanti's chances are gone too
943003:56:16: <NachtRuine> And we're back to this.
943103:57:44: <Benedict> Nurel wishes he had a qt.
943203:58:08: <Rainglove> he did
943303:58:12: <Rainglove> and then he left her
943403:58:17: <Rainglove> with his band of faggots
943503:58:44: <NachtRuine> Saav exhales. He stands and dons the mask. "I will gather myself, and should be ready to leave within the hour." Yep. Back to business.
943604:02:26: <Goatsmith> Back to awkwardness!
943704:02:27: <Benedict> Business as usual for the KINGS OF NOVIT.
943804:02:44: <Benedict> Nurel wishes he was home doing engineering things.
943904:02:55: <Hippocratesi> Aeria just wants to go home and pray.
944004:08:54: <Rainglove> you fly home
944104:08:59: <Rainglove> with the power of friendship
944204:09:04: <Rainglove> you're not accosted in the mountains
944304:09:07: <Rainglove> you dun see shat
944404:09:36: <Benedict> No evil shadows watching us? That's probably bad.
944504:09:57: <NachtRuine> 1d20+7 I STEALTH
944604:09:57: <Dados> NachtRuine, I STEALTH: 12 [1d20=5]
944704:10:00: <NachtRuine> nah jk
944804:10:08: <Benedict> But we're home! Nurel takes the magic items to the mage house for the magister to identify for the KINGS.
944904:10:30: <Rainglove> eventually identification will happen
945004:12:57: <NachtRuine> Saav walks back to his room. Given that most of its contents function as a way to serve Cath'paz, he is going to have to refurbish.
945104:15:55: <Benedict> Nurel heads back to his room to rest after that battle with the cult... yesterday, I don't know. He takes out the rings on strings and ties them to his fingers, clicking the rings together to pray to Ulinazi. "<Help the Masked One, Saav, on his journey to find a god that won't enslave him. And tell me if the goblin town is okay. It has been some time.>"

945601:16:20: <Goatwright> Waakanti is rock meditatin'.
945701:17:16: <NachtRuine> Saav is walking about, reading from a book, not looking where he's going. He's decked out in some very neutral, grey robes as opposed to the dark, rustic colored robes he usually wears.
945801:19:28: <NachtRuine> REDCAT BOOK READING, REPLACE WITH MARSHALLING
945901:19:45: <Goatwright> Redcat indeed
946001:20:28: <NachtRuine> Saav comes across Waakanti meditating as he's doing his rounds. "How goes it, giant?"
946101:21:59: <Goatwright> "It goes fine. I am communing with my ancestors. What of you?"
946201:22:42: <NachtRuine> "I have been trying to find a new god. There are more than I expected. But otherwise, I am well."
946301:24:14: <Goatwright> "Ah, yes. You have been freed from your bonds. Does this mean you are incapacitated?"
946401:24:55: <NachtRuine> "Do you mean powerless? Then yes, I have no divine powers."
946501:26:28: <Goatwright> "I see. This seems a potential problem."
946601:29:02: <NachtRuine> "Yes, luckily we have already signed up a replacement for me, should we go adventuring soon. It gives me an opportunity to find my god at my own pace."
946701:32:01: <Goatwright> "Good luck with your search, then."
946801:34:51: <NachtRuine> "I thank you. To what end do you commune with your ancestors?"
946901:41:59: <Goatwright> "They say perhaps I should change my skills."
947001:42:39: <NachtRuine> "Your skills?"
947101:43:24: <Goatwright> He motions towards his hammer, which is impaled into the ground. "They believe perhaps I am not cut out for this after all."
947201:45:15: <NachtRuine> Saav thinks for a moment, then realizes what he refers to. "Ah. Yes, I have noticed you carry that weapon, yet it does not see much use at all." Pot, meet kettle.
947301:47:24: <Goatwright> "I was not born with a weapon in hand. I was born to wield magic, and it is what I do best. I merely took up the mantle as a result of my transformation." He scratches his beard somewhat.
947401:49:55: <NachtRuine> "So you will let go of your weapon to focus on magic?"
947501:50:23: <Goatwright> He nods. "It is still important to me, and I will hold it close, but I do not think it will see much use."
947601:50:49: <Goatwright> "We had discussed potentially needing a druid a time ago, yes?"
947701:52:43: <NachtRuine> "I believe so, yes. Why, do you intend to take up druidry?"
947801:56:28: <Goatwright> "They have suggested it. A distant ancestor of mine was a fine druid, and it helped shape the foundation of some of our beliefs we still hold." He digs around in the folds of his cloak and pulls out an abnormally large scorpion, which skitters about in his hand. "We shamans build close relations with specific creatures as it is."
947901:58:17: <NachtRuine> Saav is slightly put off by the large scorpion. "Do you... Just carry that around?"
948001:59:18: <Goatwright> Waakanti nods. "She is my eyes when I have none."
948102:00:32: <NachtRuine> "I see."
948202:01:56: <Goatwright> "I believe wizards use similar creatures."
948302:06:38: <NachtRuine> "Hrm. Would this be your familiar, then?"
948402:09:59: <Goatwright> "She is."
948502:12:22: <NachtRuine> "Her name?"
948602:16:31: <Goatwright> "Oko."
948702:21:10: <NachtRuine> "Oko. I presume she's been with you for a while?"
948802:24:38: <Goatwright> "She is not my first familiar, but yes, she has."
948902:28:19: <NachtRuine> He nods in understanding. "I have never had a familiar. What is it like?"
949002:31:29: <Goatwright> "I enjoy it." Waakanti smiles. "She is like family. I trust her to aide me, as she trusts me to aide her. We have a deep, emotional connection, and she is smarter than the average scorpion."
949102:31:44: <Goatwright> Oko proceeds to snip and click at Saav, as if trying to tell him something.
949202:34:19: <NachtRuine> Saav reels back a bit at the snipping, then composed himself. "Your familiar clicks."
949302:34:47: <Goatwright> "She speaks."
949402:35:10: <NachtRuine> "I know not what she says."
949502:36:01: <Goatwright> "She greets you, and says she wishes you luck on your quest for religion."
949602:36:25: <Goatwright> "Oko is far more personable than I am." He seems to be serious.
949702:39:02: <NachtRuine> Saav looks as if he begins to chuckle, but stops as he realizes it was not a joke. "Ah. Well, I thank you for your regards, Oko."
949802:40:34: <Goatwright> She gives him a few more clicks. Waakanti responds back at the scorpion, using various clicks of his tongue and the chattering of his teeth.
949902:40:51: <Goatwright> This seems to make the scorpion's pincers droop. "I apologize."
950002:43:21: <NachtRuine> "I, uh, no offense taken." Saav looks back to the city. "I should return. I have not yet completed my rounds, and I believe my allotted free time is nearly up."
950102:44:30: <Goatwright> Waakanti nods. "Good luck."
950202:45:05: <NachtRuine> "I wish the same for you. I will see you around, giant." With that he goes.

951117:34:30: <Hippocratesi> it's okay
951217:34:49: <viejo> Not very well, apparently, so she stops, grabs some scrap wood SHIT, drags it off somewhere and makes a makeshift bullseye target.
951317:35:34: <Hippocratesi> Aeria gets bored and goes to find Qoja. And she just so happens to! "What's that you're making?"
951417:36:36: <viejo> "Just using scraps to make a target of sorts, refinin' my skills and all that," she says while knocking the wood into the earth.
951517:36:40: <viejo> 1d20+2 craft, how shit is it?
951617:36:40: <Dados> Viejo, craft, how shit is it?: 21 [1d20=19]
951717:37:03: <Hippocratesi> "Need any help?"
951817:37:23: <viejo> God damn, fuggen bootiful, the bullseye has been painted on immaculately... Where did she find paint? Does it exist? Now it does. Wow. Wait... Wait are those little numbered point markers by each coloured ring? God damn this is art.
951917:37:49: <Hippocratesi> "Oh...well."
952017:38:08: <viejo> "Aw, don't be so put out! You can help me make another one?" She smiles.
952117:38:29: <viejo> "Then when I miss the first target and hit the second I can claim I had planned it all along." She winks and laughs.
952217:39:21: <Hippocratesi> Aeria chuckles sensibly. "Sure." She INSPECTS the first target again. ""You're quite good at this, did you build things back home?"
952317:46:53: <viejo> "Minor props for plays and stuff but none of the big constructs for the important scenes. Never been able to act, still nice to get close to the set and stuff though."
952417:50:43: <Hippocratesi> "Ah, that's good. Things to keep you busy."

953418:01:34: <Benedict> Shameful.
953518:01:38: <viejo> "Just paint the bullseye on now, it'll be fiiiiine."
953618:01:39: <Benedict> A complete disgrace.
953718:02:39: <Hippocratesi> "I appreciate your kindness but..." Aeria frowns at the sight of this """"bullseye"""".
953818:03:30: <viejo> "Just need to smooth out the edges is all, get it nice and circular."

954118:04:13: <viejo> Qoja pauses before saying; "Ehhh circular doesn't necessarily mean an actual circle..." She laughs.
954218:05:07: <Hippocratesi> "At least it's standing I suppose."
954318:05:44: <viejo> Qoja hands Aeria some shurikens then walks about 10ft away. "Thrown a shuriken before?"
954418:06:51: <Hippocratesi> "Never really heard of them until I met you, so no." She frowns. "How do you hold these?"
954518:09:06: <viejo> Qoja shows her how, getting up behind her and guiding her arm back and forth to show her the motion.
954618:09:08: <viejo> ;)))))
954718:09:21: <Hippocratesi> oh baby
954818:09:26: <viejo> "It's all in the wrist, try a casual fling, well, not TOO casual, want some force behind it."

955518:11:20: <viejo> The shuriken hits the boundary between blue and white. "Heeey not bad!"
955618:12:49: <Hippocratesi> "Hah, I expected to hit something else entirely!"
955718:13:06: <viejo> "Let's see how well the master does now." She winks.

956218:15:40: <Hippocratesi> "Mind if I go again?"

956718:17:07: <viejo> The shuriken chips the border of the target.
956818:17:25: <viejo> "When you want to start getting fancy you can try somethin' like this."
956918:17:35: <viejo> She takes a few steps back, then cartwheels suddenly

957718:19:24: <Hippocratesi> "Still, not bad!"
957818:20:07: <viejo> "Your turn." She winks.

962919:17:06: <viejo> "What do they depict?"
963019:19:45: <Hippocratesi> "Symbols of peace, in simple terms. Some larger and smaller than others."
963119:20:03: <Hippocratesi> "I suppose I don't have to tell you that putting them on hurt...a lot."
963219:20:39: <viejo> "Did you choose to have them put on?"
963319:21:37: <Hippocratesi> "It was my choice, yes. It was worth the pain I'd say."
963419:24:20: <viejo> "I hope your goddess Nydiella respects your devotion."
963519:25:27: <Hippocratesi> "Oh, she does. I practically speak to her everyday."
963619:25:37: <Hippocratesi> "It's relaxing."
963719:26:22: <viejo> "Really? What's she like?"
963819:29:32: <Hippocratesi> "Motherly is one way I'd describe her. I've never seen her physically but her voice...it's soothing. She's the one who brought me out of my broken state."
963919:30:56: <viejo> "Your broken state?"
964019:35:27: <Hippocratesi> "As I told you before, I was the only survivor of my home. When I arrived and saw everything it didn't...quite click with me at first. It's shameful to say but I guess you could have called me a blubbering child."
964119:37:35: <viejo> "Well, here you are now at least, making targets and throwing shurikens with me." She smiles.
964219:38:30: <Hippocratesi> "That's true." She smoils back. "I am glad to have met you all, conflicts aside."
964319:40:58: <viejo> "I'm glad, truly I am. I don't need to say it again but I'm immensely happy you're here."
964419:43:15: <Hippocratesi> "Thank you, Qoja. Your words do encourage me, truthfully."
964519:44:09: <viejo> "Glad to hear it, I like fighting by your side - you are a true warrior."
964619:44:12: <Benedict> What fucking lesbians.
964719:44:15: <viejo> She'd rather be snuggling by her side though. :(
964819:45:43: <Hippocratesi> "And you are a true martial artist. I'm actually a bit envious of your dexterity."
964919:46:41: <viejo> "You are? Ha, well, maybe I can try and teach you how to be a bit more
965019:46:42: <viejo> limber
965119:46:44: <viejo> sometime?"
965219:47:17: <Hippocratesi> Do you want to roll diplomacy with that? :^]
965319:47:32: <Dados> Viejo, cha pls: 2 [1d20=3]
965419:47:32: <viejo> 1d20-1 cha pls
965519:47:38: <Hippocratesi> kek
965619:47:42: <viejo> ;_________;
965719:47:52: <Benedict> What an insulting cunt.
965819:48:10: <Benedict> Let's ignore how insulting Qoja is for that broom sweeping dirt from the road, despite no one holding it.
965919:49:08: <Hippocratesi> [nervous laughter]. "Maybe...maybe." Aeria suddenly notices a god damn floating broom. What a perfect coincidence to change the subject. "Are you seeing this too?"
966019:49:48: <viejo> Qoja blushes and looks upset.
966119:50:05: <Hippocratesi> ;_____;
966219:50:05: <viejo> She notices the broom as well. "Huh."
966319:50:41: <viejo> 1d20+10 Qoja throws a shuriken at it.
966419:50:41: <Dados> Viejo, Qoja throws a shuriken at it.: 13 [1d20=3]
966519:51:14: <Hippocratesi> dese rolls
966619:51:49: <Benedict> Too bad no one here could detect magic. Guess the broom has a soul, but then it gets a shuriken in it, causing a hiss in the air, and the broom to lift up, float, and head towards a goblin walking on the clean path the broom was making.
966719:52:16: <Benedict> An ugly goblin, too. Look at that fucking TUMOR and dragon skull tattoo.
966819:52:29: <Hippocratesi> >implying i can't detect magic
966919:52:40: <Benedict> >implying you can, lesbian
967019:52:45: <Hippocratesi> Oracles can, NERD
967119:52:52: <Benedict> LESBIANS LOOKS ALL MAGIC POWERS
967219:52:54: <Benedict> LOSE*
967319:53:03: <Hippocratesi> GOSH
967419:53:03: <viejo> "Oh, boy, I'm sure he's just here for a sandwich and then to be off on his way."
967519:54:35: <Benedict> The goblin pulls the shuriken free from the broom, and shoos it along to continue brushing along the road. He raises a small piece of bread up the the tumor on his head, which seems to grab hands and a mouth, as it takes the food and chews loudly (for a tiny little tumor). "<Filthy savages.>" Goblin talk. He's talking about YOU, Qoja.
967619:55:30: <Hippocratesi> "Somehow I doubt it." Aeria starts to approach the oogly goblin and notices the tumor grow god damn hands and a mouth. She gets a chill and winces. "Um, hello?"
967719:55:59: <viejo> "I stand corrected - he's just here for a sandwich for himself /and/ his disgusting wart."
967819:56:03: <viejo> She walks on over after Aeria.
967919:57:27: <Benedict> The goblin feeds another piece of hard bread to the tumor, which eeks happily, but then stops when two talls approach him. The broom, sensing that it is far from its master, dusts back to the goblin and sweeps around the three. "Yeah?"
968019:58:25: <Hippocratesi> Aeria watches the broom for a moment. "Are you new here?"
968119:58:42: <viejo> Qoja shoots Aeria a frown before looking back to the latest freak.
968220:00:26: <Benedict> "Am I that obvious?" The tumor on the goblin's face eeks as it waits for food that isn't arriving. Rather than wait, the tumor literally rips itself away, resembling something like a furless, green-skinned monkey. A chaotic monkey. Hello, skull exposure.
968320:01:51: <Hippocratesi> "It's just that I'm required to ask. You're a gestalt?" Fuck that monkey is freaky jesus christ put it away
968420:02:06: <viejo> Qoja visibly looks a bit sickened by it.
968520:03:25: <Benedict> The monkey eeks at the angel. Angel don't like it? Monkey don't like her. "Just ignore her." He talks to the monkey, who makes more eeks to 'talk' to the goblin. It seems they understand each other well. The monkey accepts whatever Flinz says next, and returns to being a tumor on the goblin's face.
968620:03:49: <Benedict> "What I've been told. Unless there's a bounty for 'em, then I ain't."
968720:05:51: <Hippocratesi> "Don't worry, no bounties here. I'm Aeria and this," She gestures to the monkey girl. "Is Qoja. We're gestalt as well."
968820:06:42: <Benedict> "Okay? And?"
968920:06:50: <viejo> Qoja holds her tongue and just half nods and shrugs.
969020:07:54: <Hippocratesi> Aeria frowns. "We're among the leaders of this town. Law requires you come with us to the town hall and sign some papers."
969120:09:44: <Benedict> "No." The goblin answers simply.
969220:10:22: <Hippocratesi> Aeria frowns and glances at Qoja. "...Could we bring the papers to /you/ then?"
969320:11:02: <viejo> "Pft, what? Why would /we/ bring the papers to this little weirdo and his gestalted half-wart-half-monkey-100%-gross abomination residing on his ugly face?"
969420:11:07: <viejo> There goes the autism/.
969520:11:37: <Hippocratesi> Aeria sighs.
969620:12:09: <viejo> Oops.
969720:12:22: <Benedict> " 'cause you trying to register me is more important than me caring to register for no reason, <you disgusting little ape>." The goblin says the last part in orcish.
969820:12:59: <viejo> "Sorry, what was that last part? Or was that your wart talkin'?"
969920:13:37: <Benedict> "If my friend was talking, he would sound more intelligent than you, believe me."
970020:14:21: <Hippocratesi> 1d20+13 GONNA HAVE TO BRING OUT THE DIPLOMACY "It's simply to keep track of the gestalt populace here, I didn't personally make these rules but I must enforce them. Will you /please/ come with us?"
970120:14:21: <Dados> Hippocratesi, GONNA HAVE TO BRING OUT THE DIPLOMACY "It's simply to keep track of the gestalt populace here, I didn't personally make these rules but I must enforce them. Will you /please/ come with us?": 22 [1d20=9]
970220:14:28: <Hippocratesi> >9
970320:15:10: <viejo> Qoja holds her tongue while Aeria attempts diplomacy magic.
970420:16:07: <Benedict> "Even if I don't intend to stay here longer than it takes me to search whatever library you mud-eaters managed to put together?"
970520:16:44: <Hippocratesi> "Would it change your mind if I said the leader here was also a goblin?"
970620:17:14: <Benedict> "It would convince me to stay here even less."
970720:17:26: <viejo> 1d20+19 rolling to trip that rude little faggot
970820:17:27: <Dados> Viejo, rolling to trip that rude little faggot: 39 [1d20=20]
970920:17:40: <viejo> Apparently Flinz is catapulted into another dimension.
971020:17:54: <Hippocratesi> "Qoja, what are you /doing/?"
971120:18:50: <viejo> "Teachin' him some god damn manners. "Mud-eater," HA. I don't mind bein' called that but /you/, you're angelkin. It's not on."
971220:19:17: <Benedict> Flinz is tripped. Ow. The tumor on his face doesn't like that and it launches itself at Qoja's face. It won't really do anything. Just scream and be ugly.
971320:19:44: <viejo> "Who's the mud-eater no- What? Get off! GET OFF!"
971420:19:53: <viejo> Qoja swats at her face as the little wart nibbles her furry face.
971520:20:06: <Benedict> It's not biting. Just screaming.
971620:20:32: <viejo> Maybe it's just her lice that's nibbling. :( Qoja is rather stressed at the screaming.
971720:20:55: <Benedict> Flinz picks himself up, but lets his tumor scream a little more before he calls it back to cover up his exposed skull.
971820:20:59: <viejo> She grabs it, if she's quick enough.
971920:21:06: <Hippocratesi> Aeria places a hand on her face.
972020:21:15: <viejo> 1d20+8 rolling reflex if that's fitting
972120:21:16: <Dados> Viejo, rolling reflex if that's fitting: 24 [1d20=16]
972220:22:26: <Benedict> Yeah, you grabbed it. It feels like pulsing flesh. By the gods, you can feel the blood flowing in your hand, and that skin feels like it's been rotting for over a year.
972320:22:34: <Benedict> Also, it's trying to bite you to get back to Flinz.
972420:22:50: <Hippocratesi> "Let it go, Qoja."
972520:23:07: <viejo> Qoja throws it back at him. "There."
972620:23:59: <Benedict> It splats and reforms on his face. "Don't do that again. It tends to start rotting if away from me for too long."
972720:24:32: <Hippocratesi> "I'm sorry about that. If you wish to leave I won't stop you."
972820:25:53: <Benedict> "Would, but I was told to go here. I'm not impressed so far, especially by the... goblin king who seems to order apes to trip anyone that says they don't want to meet him, but here I'm supposed to be. Probably for a library. If I have to register for this library, so be it."
972920:26:48: <Hippocratesi> "Fine. Follow me." Aeria goes to the town hall, god damn mean ass goblin
973020:26:49: <viejo> "You come here being a right rude little shit and you expect hospitality and kindness back? Just what backwards little hole did you crawl out of?"
973120:28:17: <Benedict> "I don't want your kindness, and I sure as hell don't want your hospitality. The only reason we are talking is because you stood in front of me. I'm here for what I was told to get. That's it. Having to spend another minute around you is torture." Despite not wanting to, Flinz follows the angel bitch.
973220:29:04: <viejo> Qoja follows behind him, simmering with anger.
973320:29:37: <Hippocratesi> Aeria enters the whatever room and grabs a paper and a pen. "Simply sign here and you're done." She hands him the two things.
973420:30:18: <Benedict> Flinz ain't just signing. He's reading carefully for any fine print.
973520:31:39: <Hippocratesi> i-i dunno, saav made it i just hand them out man pls
973620:33:03: <Benedict> Well, he'll sign, FOR NOW, but he'll be asking OOC about any fine print.
973720:33:19: <Benedict> Nurel is nearby doing king things. Aren't you glad that not all goblins are assholes like Flinz?
973820:34:19: <Hippocratesi> y-yea
973920:34:33: <Benedict> "Now, where is this library?" Flinz wants knowledge.
974020:35:37: <Hippocratesi> Aeria gives him directions to the library cause I don't know myself.
974120:35:56: <Benedict> Off he does, insulting angel bitch and monkey bitch in Draconic.
974220:35:59: <Benedict> goes*
974320:37:39: <viejo> "I swear I'm going to knock him out next time I see him unless the power of all the gods combined intervene to stop me."
974420:38:11: <Hippocratesi> "You will do not such thing, Qoja, you've done enough."
974520:38:15: <Hippocratesi> no* even
974620:38:36: <Hippocratesi> "It's not always okay to solve things violently."
974720:38:44: <Benedict> The tumor monkey reappears for a quick second with a small potion in his hand. Judging by what you can see of his rotting face, the potion seems to be an apology gift.
974820:38:45: <viejo> Qoja grumbles. "You're all too damn polite and... lawful. It's a bit much when there's someone actively being a rude bastard right to your face."
974920:39:07: <viejo> "Not always okay to just stand there being polite and a law-abidin' citizen when someone's being so disrespectful and horrid."
975020:39:52: <viejo> "Shoo, off you go now! Don't want to rot, do ya?"
975120:40:07: <Benedict> Tumor monkey keeps offering the potion.
975220:40:25: <Hippocratesi> "If he plans on using our library and other such services, he'll have to straighten out." Aeria notices the monkey and bends down to pick up the potion. "What's this?"
975320:41:01: <Benedict> It's a potion, and since monkey is unable to talk to you, he just heads on out back to his master, leaving rotten skin with each step.
975420:41:37: <viejo> "Shall we go to Nurel with this? He knows a bit about alchemy, right?"
975520:42:30: <Hippocratesi> "He may know something." Aeria goes to Nurel's expensive and clean office and knocks on the door.
975620:43:40: <Benedict> Nurel's office is cheap and tribal. He opens the door and immediately spot the potion. "I don't need a rejuvenation potion, thank you."
975720:45:25: <Hippocratesi> So that's what it is. "It was given to us by a newcomer, Flinz is his name. He's a goblin though not quite as polite."
975820:45:38: <Hippocratesi> "I suppose this is his form of an apology."
975920:46:00: <Benedict> "...Oh. I thought you were offering me a potion. I just assumed that's what it was."
976020:46:11: <viejo> "Not quite as polite? That's putting it lightly. Called Aeria a "mud-eater," or at least this a town created by "mud-eaters.""
976120:47:06: <Hippocratesi> "He was, er, rude."
976220:47:38: <Benedict> "It probably is not a rejuvenation potion, then." Nurel will study it if you fucking give it to him.
976320:48:40: <Hippocratesi> Jesus CHRIST FINE. Aeria hands Nurel the potion. "Could you find out then?"
976420:49:06: <Benedict> 1d20+11 MAYBE NUREL SHOULD JUST LIE IF YOU'RE GOING TO BE SUCH A BITCH. Let's study the potion.
976520:49:06: <Dados> Benedict, MAYBE NUREL SHOULD JUST LIE IF YOU'RE GOING TO BE SUCH A BITCH. Let's study the potion.: 21 [1d20=10]
976620:50:12: <Benedict> Good enough, I say. "Reduce person. If you can't tell by the name, it would make one of you about as short as me, maybe shorter. Means you would be weaker, but eh, also harder to hit, be a little more dexterous."
976720:51:07: <Hippocratesi> Aeria crosses her arms. "I'm not sure how to take this 'gift'."
976820:51:25: <Benedict> "By realizing it was a prank?"
976920:51:36: <viejo> "Let's force that rude bastard to take it then lock him in a cage."
977020:51:54: <viejo> Qoja immediately regrets her poor choice of words.
977120:52:04: <Benedict> "He would probably slip out. If he's a goblin, he would turn into the same size as a fairy."
977220:52:25: <viejo> "I'm sorry Nurel, I didn't... I didn't mean it like that."
977320:52:45: <Benedict> "I don't understand what you're apologizing for."
977420:53:05: <viejo> "Ah, nothin'. Just, nothin'."
977520:53:16: <Benedict> Nurel is confused.
977620:53:45: <viejo> "What do we do about this new guy anyway?"

978523:41:25: <Goatwright> Ormunt's kobold friends snicker from over in a corner.
978623:41:53: <Rainglove> the finger of god descends into the earth and points at the tiny kobold

980123:44:16: <Benedict> Nurel finds himself laughing in the middle of king duties.

980623:44:49: <Benedict> Seriously, Flinz is drawing too much attention to himself.
980723:44:53: <NachtRuine> Saav creepily chuckles to himself. He is unsure as to why, and this unsettles him more than it normally would've.
980823:46:07: <Benedict> 1d20+14 Flinz wants to learn more about this A-town he heard about from the mages that might have been a center for the magic apocalypse. Hope Rainglove doesn't mind telling me info if this works.

983602:03:23: <Goatwright> Otto just acts confused and upset, then.
983702:03:29: <Goatwright> Maybe they should go wrangle that wizard.
983802:03:59: <NachtRuine> Wizard is wrangled, everyone understands everyone, they do the forms.

984802:42:47: <NachtRuine> Saav returns with a paper and writing utensils. "Now then. Your name."
984902:43:02: <Goatwright> "[I cannot write.]"
985002:43:22: <NachtRuine> "I will be doing it for you. Your name?"
985102:43:48: <Goatwright> Otto looks mighty UNCOMFORTABLE. "O-Otto."
985202:44:13: <NachtRuine> "Otto." Scribble scribble. "Where are you from?"
985302:44:35: <Goatwright> "[I-I don't know. Not here.]"
985402:45:09: <NachtRuine> He scrabbles more. "Why are you here?"
985502:46:11: <Goatwright> "[I think I-I'm a prisoner?]"
985602:46:23: <Goatwright> He rubs his red ringed eyes.
985702:46:55: <NachtRuine> "A prisoner? What law have you broken?"
985802:47:42: <Goatwright> "[I dunno..]"
985902:55:30: <NachtRuine> Saav looks over Otto. No handcuffs. No leg restrictors. Not even a gag. "I, uh, I don't believe you are a prisoner. Why would you think so?"
986002:56:06: <Goatwright> "I was forced to come."
986102:56:12: <Goatwright> []
986202:57:29: <NachtRuine> Saav mutters something under his breath, presumably something negative. "Look, do you not want to be here? Is there somewhere else you can go?"
986303:00:18: <Goatwright> "[No, they killed my friends.]"
986403:00:31: <Goatwright> He sniffles.
986503:00:59: <viejo> And they're coming for him next!
986603:01:07: <viejo> They're just dragging it out and enjoying it.
986703:01:17: <viejo> 1d20 is this likely?
986803:01:17: <BEIGE> Viejo: is this likely?: 9 (1d20=9)
986903:02:14: <NachtRuine> Saav is annoyed with the fanaticism with bringing every gestalt they come across the others have. He looks for some kind of justification. "Did they at least attack first?"
987003:02:52: <Goatwright> Saav doesn't even know he's a gestalt, GOLLY.
987103:03:25: <Goatwright> "[We were uh, tryin' to get dinner, and then it attacked us, and then they showed up and killed 'em.]"
987203:03:34: <Goatwright> talked and attacked us, rather
987303:03:36: <Goatwright> because Bear talks
987403:04:01: <Goatwright> "[I tried sayin' sorry to it a-and all b-but idunno. I-is it against the law to eat bear, s-s-sir?]"
987503:06:21: <NachtRuine> Having already dealt with Bear, Saav connects the dots. "Oh. I see. Technically speaking, it is not. But he is a special case, since he is self-aware. However, you did not eat him. So someone could argue no harm, no foul."
987603:08:16: <Goatwright> "[B-but they still killed my friends...]" Sniffle.
987703:10:59: <NachtRuine> "This is an interesting legal issue. But as I interpret it standing here, you attempted to murder Bear. However, the others successfully murdered your friends. Is it self-defense?" He stops to think. "While I would not call you a prisoner, I would not recommend leaving. Arbitration may be needed."
987803:12:39: <Goatwright> "[B-but we thought the bear only a bear! What if you went to kill a chicken and it were not a chicken, but a uh... uh... a small feathered man! You did not know! It wouldn't be your fault!]" He's getting a bit worked up, tears welling in his eyes.
987903:12:58: <Goatwright> "[It isn't fair! N-now I have no home and no family and I'm being punished for it!]"
988003:15:54: <NachtRuine> "I am not saying you are to be punished. I am saying that you should be here so that we can decide if you are at fault or not. I believe action must be taken. I do not agree with what they did, but I do not have their side of the story."
988103:16:40: <NachtRuine> "Here's what going to happen. I am going to get the rest of them, and we are going to sit down and discuss the facts. Then we will figure out who is at fault."
988203:17:05: <Goatwright> The half-ogre rubs his nose with his sleeve and nods.
988303:17:22: <Benedict> OH SHIT, NUREL ENTERS THE SCENE.
988403:18:09: <Hippocratesi> SO DOES AERIA, PALADIN DREAM TEAM.
988503:18:47: <Benedict> What's this "dream team" bullshit you're trying to sell?
988603:19:00: <Hippocratesi> I-I'm sorry sir I-I just thought
988703:19:02: <NachtRuine> Saav looks to the two with a face of BUSINESS. "Nurel. Aeria. Get Qojo and go to the courts. Arbitration is required, regarding your recent actions."
988803:19:19: <Goatwright> Otto looks concerned and confused.
988903:19:27: <Hippocratesi> "Are...you serious, Saavou?"
989003:19:55: <Benedict> I AM THE KING. I CANNOT BE DETA- Okay. Nurel shrugs and leaves a plate of food in front of Otto before heading off to do what he was asked to do. Meat and veggies, Otto. Good eatings.
989103:20:42: <NachtRuine> "Yes. Some things just need to be cleared up."
989203:21:16: <Goatwright> Otto sniffs the food.
989303:21:19: <Hippocratesi> Aeria frowns and goes to the courtroom, wherever the hell that is.
989403:21:25: <Goatwright> He detects poison. It is not poison.
989503:21:30: <Goatwright> So he cautiously eats.
989603:21:44: <Goatwright> Guess they're generous slavedrivers.
989703:23:24: <viejo> Qoja comes along. "What's goin' on?"
989803:23:33: <viejo> Oh jee look at that huge god damn scar on her pretty little face.
989903:23:41: <NachtRuine> (okay everyone at the courthouse)
990003:23:47: <Benedict> "Saav is upset."
990103:23:59: <Hippocratesi> "He's being ridiculous."
990203:24:14: <Goatwright> Otto is there and he is very confused as to what is happening.
990303:25:21: <NachtRuine> Saav sits down with several books, at the Marshal's seat. "Here is the issue at hand. Otto has told me that he is being held against his will, and that you killed his friends. Now I'm sure you have a good reason. But I simply wanted to formalize this to make sure everything is handled. So explain, please."
990403:25:45: <Hippocratesi> "Saavou, this is silly."
990503:26:08: <viejo> "He can sod off if he wants, doesn't matter to me."
990603:27:04: <Benedict> Nurel waits for the other two to say their piece so he doesn't get annoyed at interruptions.
990703:28:32: <NachtRuine> "Silly or not, he feels compelled to be here, thinking himself a prisoner, when I don't know if he is indeed guilty of any transgression. And then there is the question of unsolicited murder."
990803:29:21: <viejo> Qoja just arches her eyebrows at him. "You really are damn bored, aren't ya?"
990903:29:32: <Hippocratesi> "Murder? Saavou, do you realize there are two paladins here?"
991003:30:14: <Benedict> Nurel looks to the other two for them to say something, then speaks up. "The goblin town asked us to deal with an ogre problem and plant problem. Plants were dead. Found two evil giants, and Otto-" Gods damn it, Qoja. "...And Otto. The two giants were seemingly abusing Otto and planned to kill an innocent. We intervened."
991103:30:29: <Benedict> "Otto appeared to have surrendered, and we worked to bypass the language barrier, in hopes he would come here."
991203:30:58: <Benedict> Nurel then writes on a piece of paper and holds it up for Saav to read. "Judging by how the giants treated Otto, I'm assuming he was their slave. Since he was a child?"
991303:32:09: <NachtRuine> Finally, someone reasonable who RESPECTS THE PROCESS OF LAW. He listens to Nurel and reads over the paper. He turns to Otto. "Otto, describe how your friends treated you."
991403:32:47: <Goatwright> "[T-they were my friends.]"
991503:33:05: <Goatwright> "[They were family, a-all I had and all.]"
991603:33:44: <Benedict> "I would like to request that Otto tell us how he came to meet his giant friends, if he does not mind."
991703:34:21: <NachtRuine> Saav allows it, motioning for Otto to answer.
991803:35:14: <Goatwright> "[I-I did not have a home.. I was alone, and then I was with t-them, a-and they fed me and taught me to fight and everything.]"
991903:36:00: <viejo> Qoja is busy inspecting Aeria's jawline. Yum.
992003:36:06: <Goatwright> Gross.
992103:37:17: <Hippocratesi> GUHROSS
992203:37:55: <Benedict> "If I may ask, when did you meet them? As a child? Recently?"
992303:39:30: <Goatwright> "[I was little.]"
992403:39:43: <Goatwright> "[I-I would be dead if not for them.]"
992503:40:22: <Hippocratesi> "So you knew them before the magic explosion?"
992603:41:14: <Goatwright> This question seems to confuse him
992703:41:35: <Benedict> "How many seasons has it been since you met them?"
992803:41:52: <NachtRuine> "Answer this one last question, then we will redirect the topic."
992903:42:22: <Goatwright> "[I don't know that high.]"
993003:43:25: <Benedict> "Very well. Let us move the topic."
993103:43:30: <Benedict> Nurel feels like a good lawyer.
993203:44:08: <NachtRuine> "So a large number. We can presume a long time." Saav looks to Nurel. "Nurel, describe what you saw when you came across Otto, his friends, and the bear."
993303:45:39: <Hippocratesi> Aeria huffs and sits back in the chair. I-I assume they're sitting.
993403:45:46: <NachtRuine> yeh they sittan
993503:46:26: <Benedict> "The half-ogre, Otto, has captured the bear that I had sent to you so he can sign papers. We simply watched, we had assumed the bear dead. Two giants appeared and we had to hide, and they started to push Otto. I do not know what they said, but their tone did not seem like one of respect. The bear was alive, it attacked a giant, the other giant laughed, and
993603:46:36: <Benedict> Otto was slapped on the..." Back? Across the face? You tell me, Goat.
993703:46:48: <viejo> Ass.
993803:47:23: <Goatwright> Across the head, like a sorta chastising way.
993903:48:03: <viejo> are you SURE they were evil
994003:48:21: <Benedict> "Slapped on the back of the head."
994103:48:23: <Hippocratesi> I
994203:48:27: <Hippocratesi> CHECKED
994303:48:38: <viejo> more to Goat than anyone else
994403:49:45: <Goatwright> Cave giants are CE
994503:50:31: <NachtRuine> Saav nods, going through the scene in his head. Saav looks to Aeria, and looks to speak, but stops, already knowing the answer. He thinks more. "Let's skip ahead to after his friends died. Otto surrenders. What happened then?"
994603:50:57: <Hippocratesi> "He wanted us to fight him."
994703:51:08: <Hippocratesi> "To avenge his friends."
994803:51:21: <Benedict> "Before that, he attacked with a very colorful spell. It did not harm two of us. We tried to bypass the language barrier, and after a spell, spoke to him. It seemed he wanted to die, but I was not going to kill a man who surrendered."
994903:52:53: <NachtRuine> "Of course, of course. After that?"
995003:54:04: <Benedict> "He wanted a fight, I wished to bring him here, so that he could be in a better environment, perhaps learn Common and support the town in some way. He refused and wanted to fight. He said if we won a fight against him, he would do what we wanted. I had him fight Qoja. Qoja won. We fixed him up. I returned news to the goblin town. Came back here."
995103:56:28: <NachtRuine> He nods, an understanding expression. He turns to Otto. "Otto, allow me to try to explain to myself. The reason you feel as if you are a prisoner is because you lost a fight with Qoja?"
995203:56:57: <viejo> "The fight he insisted upon havin', right?" She rolls her eyes.
995303:59:00: <Goatwright> "[I-I did not want to come, but they s-said I could and w-wouldn't fight me, so my freedom was all I had to offer..]"
995403:59:29: <Goatwright> He is very confused by all his JURYING and LAWYERING and such. He just wants his friends back. He's a simple guy. :[
995504:03:00: <NachtRuine> Saav clasps his hands together and thinks a little. He turns to the cabinet. "I can already tell that you all acted as is expected of you." Back to Otto. "And you were under duress by the other giants, so anything that happens prior to their death is forgiven, in the word of the law. However, there is one last matter to tend to."
995604:03:16: <Hippocratesi> "Oh my Gods."
995704:03:49: <viejo> "For god's sake all of that means /so little to him/. I doubt he knows what you're even talkin' about."
995804:03:59: <viejo> "Next time just come along so we don't have to go through all this crap."
995904:04:03: <NachtRuine> "Otto, you are not required to stay here. There's nothing keeping you here."
996004:05:15: <Goatwright> "[I might be slow, b-but I still know it's m-mean to say so..]" He pouts at Qoja, rubbing at his eyes before turning to Saav. "[B-but I ain't got nowhere to g-go.]
996104:05:25: <Rainglove> A flunky staggers in under the weight of a thousand papers and dumps them on a desk near qoja.
996204:06:26: <Rainglove> He starts handing off pieces of the stack several hundred pages at a time. "And this is to say that you agree to the judgement that was reached here today, and this is the surcharge for the courthouse, and this is..."
996304:06:43: <Benedict> "If Otto wishes, he may stay in the town as long as he wants under my expense. To learn Common. To work. To enjoy himself. Whatever he wishes."
996404:06:53: <Hippocratesi> "Saavou, this was a waste of time."
996504:07:12: <NachtRuine> Saav looks to the flunky. "Later, later, you'll get your surcharges. Not in the middle of arbitration."
996604:08:04: <Rainglove> The flunky takes the half of his remaining stack and staggers back out, but not before managing to dump about five pounds of paper in qoja's lap
996704:09:45: <NachtRuine> Saav sighs at the incompetence of the flunky. He looks to Aeria. "I just had to make sure everyone is abiding the law. That's my job." He looks back to Nurel and Otto. "Otto, do you agree to willingly stay here, under Nurel's charge?"
996804:11:13: <NachtRuine> He puts emphasis on willingly.
996904:11:58: <Goatwright> "[I-idunno. I guess I ain't got nowhere t'go.]" He still looks upset with this whole situation.
997004:12:41: <NachtRuine> "Would you like to stay here and think about it before agreeing?"
997104:13:59: <NachtRuine> Saav looks to Qoja and Aeria. "You can go if you want, your part's done here."
997204:14:18: <viejo> Qoja gives him a fairly unimpressed look before leaving.
997304:14:41: <Benedict> What a bitch.
997404:14:49: <Rainglove> qoja is hit in the face with the rest of the papers on the way out
997504:14:56: <Hippocratesi> "I'd...like to stay."
997604:14:57: <Goatwright> He thinks about it now, and then shakes his head. "[I-I'll just stay here, I guess. I ain't got nowhere t'go, an' yer givin' me a home. I guess yer sorry for killin' my friends.. right?]"
997704:15:05: <Goatwright> He looks to THE PALADINS.
997804:15:07: <viejo> YOU'RE NOT THE GM YOU CAN'T DECIDE WHAT HAPPENS HNGH
997904:15:16: <Goatwright> qoja is hit in the face with the rest of the papers on the way out
998004:15:19: <Goatwright> :^)
998104:15:20: <viejo> kek
998204:15:41: <Benedict> Oooooh boy. Nurel thinks of how to answer this politely. "I am sorry... for making you feel alone again." He thinks he handled that well.
998304:16:13: <Hippocratesi> "I'm very sorry for killing the only family you had, Otto. I hope you can forgive me."
998404:16:39: <Goatwright> He sniffles and rubs his eyes, then looks to Saav. "[Okay.]"
998504:18:31: <NachtRuine> He nods, and begins to slide a paper to him before remembering that Otto can't write. He instead gives the paper to Nurel. "This is an employment form, stating that Otto here is working for you. Work with him as you fill it out."
998604:19:02: <Benedict> Nurel takes the paper and heads on over to Otto. "May I sit?"
998704:19:21: <Goatwright> Otto gives a hesitant nod.
998804:19:34: <Hippocratesi> Aeria leaves and heads to her room. To ma-er, pray.
998904:19:58: <NachtRuine> Saav stands and holds his books. "My work is done here. I'm sorry to have kept you from your busy days. Nurel, let me know if there's anything you need."
999004:21:05: <Benedict> Nurel nods to Saav, then sits and works with Otto about employment. "Do not worry about room, board, and food. I will handle that out of my own funds. We can have you do stuff around the town and I will pay you for all of that, you can use that money however you wish. What are you good at?"
999104:21:22: <Goatwright> Whenever Saav exits, WAAKANTI IS THERE. WAITING.
999204:21:46: <NachtRuine> He did so, just now, in fact. He looks to Waakanti. "Giant. I see you're done meditating?"
999304:22:03: <Goatwright> "We are keeping it?"
999404:22:56: <NachtRuine> "I believe so. He thought himself a prisoner, which is why I called the meeting; to clarify to him that he was indeed not."
999504:23:26: <NachtRuine> "Slow, but likely capable of menial labor."
999604:24:38: <Goatwright> Otto looks at Nurel with a mighty confused look. "[Is that like that gold stuff I saw Kordin and Hafold keepin'? I-Idunno what to do with that.]" He tugs at the seams of his clothes, looking down. "[B-but I'm big an' strong, and I gots powers. They used to tell me I was special. Reeeal special.]" Otto smiles at Nurel.
999704:25:43: <Goatwright> Waakanti does not look impressed. "You are keeping a dangerous degenerate here for labor purposes."
999804:25:55: <Goatwright> "I believe we have oxen for such things."
999904:26:06: <Goatwright> "They are easier to train, I imagine."
1000004:26:42: <Benedict> You sure are special, Otto. "You are. You're what we call a gestalt. About as special as it gets in this new world." No doubt the giants meant something entirely different. "The gold can be used for..." Nurel thinks, then takes out a bar of soap, carving it. "Little entertainment things. You like art? Maybe writing in a journal?"
1000104:26:46: <BEIGE> Benedict: What a shitty soap statue.: 13 (1d20=13)
1000204:26:46: <Benedict> 1d20 What a shitty soap statue.
1000304:26:56: <NachtRuine> "Care to explain your displeasure?"
1000404:28:00: <Goatwright> He looks at the alright little soap statue. "[Well I just really dunno, s-sir. Everything here is different. It's kinda scary.]"
1000504:28:46: <Benedict> "New experiences are scary. It was a little scared myself. I was typically a cave goblin. Being around so many different people, and not being good with Common at the time, it made things difficult."
1000604:29:20: <Goatwright> Waakanti scoffs. "Ogres are a disgrace to giantkind. They are dumb, dangerous creatures. I understand he was raised among cave giants. (we will assume somebody said something about it, ie Qojo) They are similarly dumb and dangerous creatures, true giants as they may be."
1000704:30:36: <Goatwright> "They are naturally hostile. They don't have a high capacity for foresight. If this one is magic, it is a greater threat than the untrained mages we have now." He scowls bitterly. "Not to mention its bastard nature."
1000804:32:14: <Goatwright> Otto looks down again. "[I don't think the people here are gonna like me.]"
10009
10010 2014-10-24
1001121:32:42: <Benedict> This needs to be updated to say "SIX MONTHS LATER, AT THE HALL OF NEFARIOUS GESTALTS"
1001221:40:14: <Rainglove> SIX MONTHS. GODDAMN. CERTAINLY FEELS LIKE IT'S BEEN THAT LONG. The town's grown majorly since you last saw it, probably a thousand or so people, maybe more. The tent cities are gone, and thanks to glorious genetic engineering food for winter's just fine.
1001321:40:29: <Goatwright> Mmmagic.
1001421:40:46: <Benedict> Nurel is the alchemist hero the town needs. Flinz scratches his nuts.
1001521:41:07: <Hippocratesi> Aeria now has generic timeskip changes. I wonder what they could be.
1001621:42:09: <viejo> 1d20-1 How charismatic was Qoja to Aeria over this time?
1001721:42:09: <BEIGE> Viejo: How charismatic was Qoja to Aeria over this time?: 6 (1d20-1=7)
1001821:42:14: <viejo> It'll never happen.
1001921:42:20: <Hippocratesi> kek
1002021:42:30: <Rainglove> There's about six inches of snow coating everything, and the town's bustling as usual. You've been hearing lately of other towns that've gotten started, though it doesn't sound like anything truly city sized has sprung up. Trade has been increasing, and a few of the people traveling through have talked about how shit is finally getting together.
1002121:43:03: <Benedict> How is North Town and Goblin Town? They like us lots? They trading lots?
1002221:43:17: <Goatwright> 1d20 did waakanti smoove it with aeria :^ )
1002321:43:17: <BEIGE> Goatwright: did waakanti smoove it with aeria :^ ): 3 (1d20=3)
1002421:43:26: <Goatwright> double keks
1002521:43:34: <Rainglove> Most of them have either moved into your town or other towns, but there are still people in the goblin towns. Mostly the older generation.
1002621:44:07: <BEIGE> Benedict: How many times did Nurel rub his hands in front of the Wise Woman of the goblin town (did she move in or she still at the town): 12 (1d20+3=9)
1002721:44:07: <Benedict> 1d20+3 How many times did Nurel rub his hands in front of the Wise Woman of the goblin town (did she move in or she still at the town)
1002821:44:13: <Benedict> 12 times.
1002921:44:41: <viejo> 1d20 How cute does Qoja look in her furs?
1003021:44:41: <BEIGE> Viejo: How cute does Qoja look in her furs?: 8 (1d20=8)
1003121:45:18: <Rainglove> BUT TODAY, international end of timeskip day, a wizard showed up from out of the wastes and was looking for your merry band of faggots. So for time's sake you're all in the town hall with him because FUCK taking half an hour just to congregate.
1003221:46:53: <Benedict> Nurel is dressed for the season. Sure, he has his new Shadow Leather Armor on, but he's wearing cloaks and furs to keep his little goblin body warm. He's also without his musket, which was a usual sight six months ago. He seems to have replaced it with a more modern firearm.
1003321:47:26: <Goatwright> Waakanti's cloak has been replaced by one with fur. He is positively bundled up. He does not like this SNOW shit.
1003421:47:54: <Hippocratesi> Aeria has a scarf. And some winter clothes. Dressed for success.
1003521:47:59: <Benedict> Flinz, for once, is around the town hall. Because outside is cold and he is not used to the cold. He is used to a life of (goblin) luxury!
1003621:48:19: <viejo> Qoja is wearing some cute furs (fuck you Beige), boots, gloves, etc.
1003721:48:39: <NachtRuine> Saav is looking about normal, his robes having changed from grey to white with gold detail due to his new allegiance, but he is indeed bundled up: scarf, thicker gloves, the works.
1003821:49:48: <Rainglove> He's an elf or one of those other tremendously faggy part elf races. Pleasantries are exchanged etc. etc, and then mister wizard gets to business. "Anyway, I was hoping to discuss something else today. I've come from a settlement to the south, and I and a few other leaders are meeting soon to discuss the state of affairs in the land."
1003921:50:01: <Rainglove> RP IS GO
1004021:50:22: <Benedict> "Leaders from what towns?"
1004121:51:37: <viejo> Qoja nudges Aeria lightly and whispers "[I like your scarf, where'd ya get it?]" Angel or whatever the language is
1004221:52:23: <Hippocratesi> "[One of the tailors in town.]" It's Infernal, of course.
1004321:52:35: <Hippocratesi> No, it's Celestial haHA.
1004421:53:16: <Rainglove> "Just a loose group from the south. Some of them I'd... rather not engage with, but they lead sizeable settlements, and so they've been asked to attend. I haven't met with them all, but I think it's time for people to get together and figure out what the situation is in the world."
1004521:53:33: <viejo> Qoja feels the material between her index finger and thumb. Soft.
1004621:54:26: <Rainglove> pls contain yerself lesbeans
1004721:54:28: <Benedict> Nurel snaps his fingers at Qoja and Aeria. Focus, ladies. "When do you want us there? I'll need to see if the council thinks this is a good idea first."
1004821:54:48: <viejo> Thank god these furs soak up just how wet Aeria's outfit is making her.
1004921:54:55: <Hippocratesi> Aeria frowns. She's sorry, Mr. Nurel.
1005021:55:47: <viejo> Qoja pouts.
1005121:57:02: <Rainglove> "About a week, though the meeting place is about four days travel. Apologies for the short notice, but you're one of the more distant towns we know of."
1005221:57:03: <Benedict> Nurel is feeling it. He's doing as a king should. Gods, being a king SUCKS.
1005321:57:18: <Goatwright> Waakanti stares at the elf guy.
1005421:57:28: <Goatwright> A four days' travel? Can his camels handle that? Waakanti WORRIES.
1005521:57:37: <viejo> 1d20+12 sense motive GOSP
1005621:57:37: <BEIGE> Viejo: sense motive GOSP: 13 (1d20+12=1)
1005721:57:46: <viejo> He's trying to tell me I look shit in furs.
1005821:58:16: <NachtRuine> 1d20+14 is this guy fro real
1005921:58:16: <BEIGE> NachtRuine: is this guy fro real: 31 (1d20+14=17)
1006021:58:22: <Rainglove> yep
1006121:58:42: <viejo> 1d20+13 perception on his taste in fashion
1006221:58:43: <Hippocratesi> Aeria slightly makes a face. Four days of fucking traveling.
1006321:58:43: <BEIGE> Viejo: perception on his taste in fashion: 20 (1d20+13=7)
1006421:58:56: <BEIGE> Benedict: Flinz uses KNOWLEDGE to figure out if he knows any towns down south of Novit.: 25 (1d20+14=11)
1006521:58:56: <Benedict> 1d20+14 Flinz uses KNOWLEDGE to figure out if he knows any towns down south of Novit.
1006621:59:40: <viejo> Oh look, now Qoja's use out of combat is made redudant!
1006721:59:52: <Benedict> Nurel doesn't mind travel, and he beckons the diplomat to warm himself by the fire pit. "Please, while I talk with my council privately."
1006822:00:20: <Benedict> >Implying Flinz will share his knowledge or be with the group at all times
1006922:01:20: <Rainglove> Not a whole lot dude I've never seen RPd. You've heard about them, but all the traders coming through were deliberately quiet about where they were from. Probably afraid of people following them or something.
1007022:02:02: <Benedict> Sound like a bunch of inbred scum. "<Incest lovin' mudeaters.>" Flinz mumbles in Dwarven.
1007122:02:28: <viejo> Qoja just happens to know Dwarven and turns around to Flinz to respond!
1007222:02:31: <viejo> Just kidding, she's not Eelis.
1007322:02:36: <viejo> But she does sneer at that little cunt.
1007422:02:47: <Hippocratesi> "[Behave, Qojo.]"
1007522:02:48: <NachtRuine> "He does not appear to be tricking us. That said, I've been itching for a reason to take a trip outside the town."
1007622:03:16: <Rainglove> Diplowizard belatedly accepts fire invitations and goes off to be warm.
1007722:03:18: <Benedict> "It is four days, Saav. We would need something to keep us warm beyond our cloaks and furs."
1007822:04:11: <Hippocratesi> "Would the mages not have something for warmth?"
1007922:04:43: <NachtRuine> "I can prepare the proper spells, if needed. Besides, it's a convention of the newer towns. It would promote togetherness and trade, if things go well."
1008022:05:49: <Benedict> "True. Let us hope they don't look at all of us and decide we are not worth talking to. I would feel like learning all this Common was for naught.
1008122:07:40: <NachtRuine> "Considering our size, even if they would not want to speak with us, we are large enough to have a proper influence. So long as the diplomats are the ones handling diplomacy."
1008222:09:16: <Benedict> Large enough. Nurel. Goblin. "I did not grow a few inches during the Fall, Saav. But yes, Aeria and I can handle the diplomats. Qoja, if you can promise me you won't say something dumb, you can talk when you feel like it."
1008322:09:33: <Goatwright> "He means the town, goblin."
1008422:09:44: <Goatwright> Maybe Nurel shouldn't be doing the talking at the meeting after all.
1008522:10:29: <Benedict> "Sorry, I assumed differently since they will only see us, not know how large our town is."
1008622:10:47: <Goatwright> "I would guess they'd be told in some manner."
1008722:11:02: <Benedict> "People are usually skeptical."
1008822:11:14: <Rainglove> ARE YOU GOING Y/N
1008922:11:15: <Goatwright> You're dumb, Nurel.
1009022:11:16: <Rainglove> PLS
1009122:11:19: <Goatwright> Is what Waakanti WOULD say.
1009222:11:24: <NachtRuine> "Back to the original question. Do we go? I feel so."
1009322:11:33: <Goatwright> "It would be unwise not to."
1009422:11:35: <Benedict> "I see no reason not to."
1009522:11:50: <Hippocratesi> "We should."
1009622:12:10: <NachtRuine> "So it shall be."
1009722:12:37: <Benedict> Nurel waves for a guard to tell the diplomat to come back. "We'll be going. When would you like to leave?"
1009822:13:52: <Rainglove> Wizlomat returns. "Whenever is convenient for you, provided you can arrive. If you come early we can provide for lodging."
1009922:13:57: <Rainglove> *Arrive on time
1010022:14:56: <Benedict> Free lodgings, oh boy. "We'll leave when we can. You are welcome to stay in town until we leave if you want our protection. I'll cover the cost of your room and food."
1010122:15:32: <Goatwright> How nice.
1010222:15:46: <Goatwright> "What sort of people can be expect?"
1010322:21:54: <Rainglove> "That's appreciated, but I can handle returning myself. Like I said, I haven't met everybody involved, but I expect that most of the people there to know how to handle themselves. We're expecting representatives from about ten towns, not including this one and myself."
1010422:22:52: <Benedict> "So 12." Nurel can count! "Well, if you need supplies for your return home, just say so, otherwise, I suppose we'll be getting ready here before leaving."
1010522:24:57: <Rainglove> Wizahrd nods. "I should be alright, but thank you, I'll be seeing you in a week, then?" He looks ready to go.
1010622:25:03: <Rainglove> Prepares to go fug
1010722:25:24: <Benedict> "Perhaps less than that, if we leave quickly. Take care, sir."
1010822:25:47: <Rainglove> He nods and departs, INTO THE SNOW.
1010922:26:58: <Rainglove> speaking of departing
1011022:27:31: <Goatwright> nigga we're preparing
1011122:27:32: <Goatwright> shut up
1011222:31:12: <Benedict> OVER THE COURSE OF 4 DAYS, Nurel prepares his shit. His gun, his ammo, his mule, his WARM CLOTHING.
1011322:32:41: <Goatwright> Waakanti is gud 2 go. He makes sure his camels are nice and padded and he's got enough food.
1011422:32:53: <Goatwright> All aboard Waakanti's fuggin caravan, choo choo.
1011522:34:03: <Benedict> Nurel makes sure his mule is okay, because mules are important, then boards the caravan. Choo choo.
1011622:34:11: <NachtRuine> Saav gets his warm clothes as well as some reading/writing materials to pass the time. He also prepares his spells for the travels. On the caravan he goes.
1011722:34:26: <Hippocratesi> Aeria packs some supplies. Food, clothing, tam- er her sword, a fucking book to read i dunno let's get outta here
1011822:35:05: <Goatwright> On they go, woosh people cast some communal endure elements.
1011922:35:29: <Goatwright> Waakanti casts Read Weather every two days it takes them.
1012022:35:32: <Benedict> "What are you two reading?"
1012122:35:38: <Goatwright> Lemme know if predicted blizzard or something Rain
1012222:35:53: <viejo> Aw, look! Qoja has a cute little fur hood.
1012322:36:10: <viejo> Am I talking about her clothing or something else? Who knows. :^]
1012422:36:18: <Goatwright> gross
1012522:36:20: <Rainglove> Weather definitely seems a little iffy waakanti
1012622:36:36: <viejo> 1d20+7 k local, or geography, whatever
1012722:36:37: <BEIGE> Viejo: k local, or geography, whatever: 23 (1d20+7=16)
1012822:36:46: <Rainglove> w-what are you rolling for?
1012922:36:49: <NachtRuine> "I am reading political treatsies of the past. To see the future, one should look to the past."
1013022:37:05: <Hippocratesi> "Just a story book."
1013122:37:09: <Goatwright> Waakanti has some endure elements, wind control, and fire-based spells prepared just for iffy weather.
1013222:37:13: <viejo> I said you god damn nerd.
1013322:37:23: <Goatwright> for, not what
1013422:37:28: <Goatwright> why are you rolling
1013522:37:28: <Goatwright> nerd
1013622:38:06: <viejo> nevermind let's just get to this shithole
1013722:38:16: <Benedict> "Sounds nice." Nurel has nothing to read. Shit. He'll just... He'll draw gun designs like a kid trying to pass the time in class.
1013822:41:41: <Rainglove> whoever's got survival
1013922:41:43: <Benedict> AND SO NUREL DRAWS FOR FOUR FUCKING DAYS. Are we there yet? Are we there yet?
1014022:41:44: <Rainglove> rooooll away
1014122:42:14: <Benedict> 1d20 FUCK SURVIVAL, LET'S POSITIVE THINKING
1014222:42:14: <BEIGE> Benedict: FUCK SURVIVAL, LET'S POSITIVE THINKING: 12 (1d20=12)
1014322:42:15: <BEIGE> Viejo: 10 (1d20+7=3)
1014422:42:15: <viejo> 1d20+7
1014522:42:30: <Hippocratesi> 1d20+1 WOO
1014622:42:30: <BEIGE> Hippocratesi: WOO: 12 (1d20+1=11)
1014722:42:45: <NachtRuine> 1d20+12 SUVIVE
1014822:42:45: <BEIGE> NachtRuine: SUVIVE: 20 (1d20+12=8)
1014922:42:48: <viejo> Oh fuck I dropped the bottle of aspirin! Time to eat the glass.
1015022:42:55: <BEIGE> Goatwright: 16 (1d20+8=8)
1015122:42:55: <Goatwright> 1d20+8
1015222:43:52: <Rainglove> those are some stellar rolls right there
1015322:45:36: <Rainglove> Most of you (Excepting Saav and partially qojina) have no idea what the fuck you're doing out here in the snow. Goddamn. Waakanti's weather iffyness gets steadily worse until by the end of the second day your whole group is blizzarded to hell.
1015422:45:47: <Rainglove> But at least you're protected from the elements
1015522:46:20: <Rainglove> You're guessing you're about halfway to your destination. Ain't no life for miles in either way, and the snow's four feet deep and piling higher.
1015622:46:29: <Rainglove> Yer cart's just gone and stuck.
1015722:46:32: <Rainglove> What do
1015822:46:41: <Benedict> Die.
1015922:46:41: <NachtRuine> Keep Nurel out of the snow or we'll lose him 5ever
1016022:47:22: <Hippocratesi> "We're...stuck."
1016122:47:25: <viejo> 1d20+2 use inhuman amounts of pure brute strength to move it
1016222:47:25: <BEIGE> Viejo: use inhuman amounts of pure brute strength to move it: 19 (1d20+2=17)
1016322:47:32: <viejo> ooophf
1016422:47:36: <Rainglove> The cart moves! About a foot.
1016522:47:43: <Rainglove> And then it is once more stuck
1016622:47:47: <Goatwright> Waakanti gets out, clutching his cloak. This is some shit.
1016722:47:52: <Goatwright> How bad is the wind right now?
1016822:47:59: <Rainglove> blizzard bruh
1016922:48:01: <viejo> Qoja shrugs.
1017022:48:16: <Benedict> Nurel pops his head out of the caravan to look at the situation. Is this a situation where engineering knowledge will save the day :)
1017122:48:18: <viejo> "Kinda dumb to bring a cart in the first place."
1017222:48:28: <NachtRuine> Saav is careful about getting out. "Giant, what does the forecast call for?"
1017322:48:33: <Rainglove> 30-40 mph. -10. Cold as shit, and you're getting further from the warm places erry day.
1017422:48:42: <viejo> Redact.
1017522:48:45: <viejo> We're in the cart, aren't we?
1017622:48:51: <Benedict> We're in the caravan.
1017722:49:22: <Rainglove> you have an unspecified number of carts
1017822:49:30: <Rainglove> only one of which actually matters since it's the one you're in
1017922:49:38: <Rainglove> how the fuck many carts of supplies did you bring?
1018022:49:41: <Goatwright> Waakanti has his big old wagon
1018122:49:46: <Goatwright> I assumed we just piled into that
1018222:49:52: <Benedict> Nurel has his mule.
1018322:49:53: <Rainglove> you have one cart
1018422:49:55: <Rainglove> and a mule
1018522:50:06: <Hippocratesi> Aeria hops out as well. "If pushing it won't do, what else is there?"
1018622:50:11: <Benedict> Will some sort of knowledge help us get this caravan working again?
1018722:50:43: <Rainglove> K (Remove from snow)
1018822:50:47: <NachtRuine> "We would likely need to clear the snow, but given the situation, that seems... Unhelpful."
1018922:50:54: <Benedict> Nurel is useless.
1019022:51:20: <Goatwright> "I have fire magic, but I doubt none of us have the strength to sustain it. My camels will not be able to continue forward with the depth of this snow. I believe we may need to wait it out."
1019122:52:06: <Hippocratesi> "Well, that's unfortunate."
1019222:52:27: <viejo> "Let's just piss on it."
1019322:52:47: <viejo> "I mean, I'm going for one anyway, if this blizzard doesn't freeze my genitals stuck first."
1019422:52:54: <Goatwright> First deal of action!
1019522:53:02: <Goatwright> Waakanti casts Commune with Birds.
1019622:53:20: <Hippocratesi> there aren't any fucking birds out here waht the fuck
1019722:53:25: <Rainglove> waakanti gains the ability to speak with whatever kind of birds fly in 40 MPH winds
1019822:53:27: <NachtRuine> "Your level of detail is unnecessary."
1019922:53:30: <Goatwright> man maybe there's some hidden in some trees
1020022:53:34: <Goatwright> within a mile
1020122:53:36: <Hippocratesi> THERE'S A BLIZZARD
1020222:53:36: <Goatwright> :[
1020322:53:44: <Goatwright> FINE OKAY
1020422:53:46: <Goatwright> GOD
1020522:53:51: <Goatwright> I DON'T SEE YOU CASTING ANYTHING TO HELP
1020622:53:53: <Goatwright> FAGGOT ASS ORACLE
1020722:54:02: <Hippocratesi> I AM LOOKING
1020822:55:30: <Goatwright> Waakanti casts Eagle Eye!
1020922:55:51: <Hippocratesi> "That's really nice, Qoja."
1021022:55:53: <Rainglove> you are 400 something feet in the air
1021122:55:54: <Rainglove> woo
1021222:56:05: <viejo> "I'm surrounded by bores."
1021322:56:11: <Goatwright> Waakanti muses in his head that they look but as ants down below. Quite amusing.
1021422:56:18: <Goatwright> But then he looks for anything specific that may be nearby.
1021522:56:28: <viejo> Qoja goes and makes some snowballs.
1021622:56:33: <viejo> :^)
1021722:57:18: <Benedict> "If I step out of this caravan, I am likely to disappear forever. Sorry."
1021822:57:47: <Rainglove> Waakanti's special eyes see MILES of snow. And the occasional hill. And WAY, WAY off, light, probably from a fire.
1021922:58:24: <Goatwright> "I see a light."
1022022:58:42: <Goatwright> "It is far off, but I believe somebody is there."
1022122:59:22: <Hippocratesi> "/How/ far off?"
1022222:59:29: <Rainglove> WAY, WAY far off
1022322:59:33: <Rainglove> probably miles
1022422:59:46: <NachtRuine> "Our issue is getting there. The cart is stuck, and if it's far off, I doubt we can walk it."
1022523:00:13: <viejo> "Should we really be straying from the caravan in these conditions?"
1022623:00:36: <Hippocratesi> "That's also true, it'd be difficult to find our way back."
1022723:01:07: <Goatwright> "Miles." He frowns. "But there is nothing else close by."
1022823:01:26: <viejo> "Genitals out gang, let's get pissing!"
1022923:01:27: <viejo> She laughs.
1023023:03:05: <NachtRuine> Saav appears pensive. He handles a piece of brass. "I might be able to call out to the people by said fire."
1023123:03:47: <viejo> "Do it then, ain't gettin' younger standing around here worryin' away about this weather."
1023223:03:47: <Hippocratesi> "A spell?"
1023323:03:52: <Goatwright> "I am unsure if they'd come for us, but it is worth a shot." Meanwhile, Waakanti gets to work on his own plan!
1023423:04:02: <Goatwright> He starts looking for any sizable rocks.
1023523:04:52: <Rainglove> Waakanti stubs his toe violently, taking...
1023623:04:52: <Rainglove> 1d4
1023723:04:53: <BEIGE> Rainglove: 2 (1d4=2)
1023823:04:56: <Rainglove> 2 nonlethal damage
1023923:04:59: <Rainglove> he has found a rock
1024023:05:01: <Rainglove> and nearly broken his toe
1024123:05:12: <Goatwright> Waakanti lets out a yelp.
1024223:05:21: <NachtRuine> Saav stands and casts Clarion Call! With a loud booming voice, he shouts, "HELLO! WE HAVE A STUCK CART! WE REQUIRE HELP!"
1024323:06:39: <Rainglove> BWAAAAAAARM
1024423:06:45: <Rainglove> Saav's voice carries for great distances
1024523:06:46: <Goatwright> B-but still, he's got a rock! After he soothes the pain, he picks it up. "Nurel, please hitch your mule to my camels and the front of the cart."
1024623:06:59: <Goatwright> "We are going to try to get some distance, in the event they do come to help."
1024723:07:01: <viejo> Meanwhile Qoja throws a snowball into the air and then a shuriken after it. Seeing as it's a waste of GM-talk on it, let's just assume it hits. Wow.
1024823:07:23: <NachtRuine> Saav sighs. "Now we wait for uncertainty."
1024923:07:40: <Goatwright> "Saav, help me find stones."
1025023:07:51: <Hippocratesi> "How are these rocks going to help?"
1025123:08:20: <Goatwright> "I am going to build proper footing tools for our mounts."
1025223:08:45: <Hippocratesi> "Ah." Aeria helps find rocks in the four foot snow.
1025323:09:01: <NachtRuine> He looks to the giant. "Very well." He is careful about dismounting, then begins moving around, slowly, so as to not stub his toe, for rocks.
1025423:09:08: <NachtRuine> 1d20+13 ROCK
1025523:09:08: <BEIGE> NachtRuine: ROCK: 23 (1d20+13=10)
1025623:09:19: <Benedict> Uhh. Right. Mule. Camels. Front of cart. Lot of snow. "...Qoja? Could you hitch my mule to the camels and the front of the cart?"
1025723:09:25: <Goatwright> 1d20+11 ROCKS
1025823:09:25: <BEIGE> Goatwright: ROCKS: 25 (1d20+11=14)
1025923:09:58: <Rainglove> you uh
1026023:09:59: <Rainglove> find rocks
1026123:10:02: <Rainglove> I suppose
1026223:10:17: <viejo> Qoja helps out with whatever.
1026323:10:31: <Hippocratesi> 1d20+1 uh rocks
1026423:10:31: <BEIGE> Hippocratesi: uh rocks: 3 (1d20+1=2)
1026523:10:41: <Goatwright> Rad. Waakanti uses Stone Shape on the rocks, making some little boots of sorts for the camels and mule. Something that would help them walk through the snow.
1026623:10:58: <NachtRuine> "In hindsight, who thought it was a good idea to host a convention in the middle of winter?"
1026723:11:16: <Rainglove> someone who can teleport, probably
1026823:11:33: <Goatwright> He then fits them onto the animals, and goes over to his caravan and casts Wood Shape. He forms the front of his caravan into a plow, and does what he can to make the wheels a bit bigger and bulkier.
1026923:11:46: <viejo> "Considering the state of the land, I doubt they were that fussy."
1027023:12:03: <Goatwright> Content with his work, Waakanti nods and looks to his crew of casters. "Have you spells that instill within creatures new purpose?"
1027123:12:35: <Hippocratesi> "I do."
1027223:13:10: <Goatwright> "Teach the animals how to plow. I have such magic, but I worry I'm nearing my limit."
1027323:13:29: <Hippocratesi> She casts ANIMAL PURPOSE TRAINING on the animals. Heavy Labor, of course.
1027423:13:42: <Rainglove> the camels hulk out
1027523:13:47: <Goatwright> Also the mule.
1027623:13:48: <Goatwright> Swoll
1027723:14:08: <Rainglove> rar
1027823:14:17: <Goatwright> Waakanti them mounts back up and urges the animals onward towards the fire!
1027923:14:30: <Hippocratesi> Aeria hops back up onto the caravan.
1028023:15:28: <Rainglove> anybody got handle animal?
1028123:15:37: <viejo> GWWWYYYYYYNNNNN]
1028223:15:43: <NachtRuine> Saav remounts as well.
1028323:15:46: <Goatwright> I uh
1028423:15:47: <Goatwright> fug
1028523:15:50: <viejo> See Hippo, Gwyn would've proven useful! 2 months down the line
1028623:15:52: <Goatwright> I have a spell for it I believe
1028723:16:03: <Hippocratesi> w-well
1028823:16:28: <NachtRuine> i mean i can scare the animals into doing stuff
1028923:16:35: <Rainglove> you don't need to roll absurdly high
1029023:16:43: <Rainglove> provided you don't all get 4s again you should be okay
1029123:16:48: <Rainglove> just rolling it raw
1029223:16:56: <Goatwright> 1d20-1 whelp
1029323:16:56: <BEIGE> Goatwright: whelp: 12 (1d20-1=13)
1029423:16:56: <Hippocratesi> 1d20+4 i can try
1029523:16:56: <BEIGE> Hippocratesi: i can try: 24 (1d20+4=20)
1029623:16:59: <Goatwright> FUGGIN
1029723:17:00: <Goatwright> SHIT
1029823:17:04: <NachtRuine> pft
1029923:17:08: <NachtRuine> i aint even gonn try
1030023:18:23: <Rainglove> Somewhere something that sounds vaguely like a steam whistle sounds. The camels and mule take off, plowed snow flying fifteen feet into the air on either side of the cart.
1030123:18:26: <Rainglove> woosh
1030223:18:40: <Rainglove> just keep rocketing along at the speed of sound while I go get food
1030323:18:41: <Goatwright> Waakanti looks mighty proud of himself.
1030423:19:08: <Hippocratesi> "Very good thinking, Nikli!"
1030523:19:11: <Rainglove> aeria drives like a woman possessed good lord
1030623:19:30: <NachtRuine> "Well, this was unexpected. I hope the firekeepers do not exert themselves too much trying to get to us, since we are moving with such ease now."
1030723:19:45: <Goatwright> "Thank you. I would not have been able to do it without the help of my ancestors."
1030823:19:51: <Goatwright> "Or you, for that matter." He nods.
1030923:22:43: <Goatwright> "What do you suppose these leaders will be like?"
1031023:23:07: <Hippocratesi> "Perhaps more dwarves?"
1031123:24:25: <Goatwright> "I am not a fan of these dwarves."
1031223:25:17: <NachtRuine> "Dwarves stick to mountains, if I recall. I would expect to see humans."
1031323:25:28: <Benedict> "Maybe the next ones will be different. The North Dwarf is better since we saved him from the cult."
1031423:26:22: <Goatwright> "I do not believe I would get along with humans."
1031523:26:31: <viejo> Qoja just goes to a corner and gets cosy.
1031623:26:35: <Goatwright> Waakanti starts to wonder if maybe he's a bit of a diplomatic burden.
1031723:26:36: <Goatwright> NAAAAAAAAH.
1031823:27:26: <Benedict> "It is fine, Nikli. If I may speak plainly, truthfully, and have no one spread it around?"
1031923:28:02: <Hippocratesi> "What do you wish to say?"
1032023:29:20: <Benedict> Nurel waits for at least Waak and Saav to promise to not tell. Real men.
1032123:29:25: <Goatwright> Waakanti shrugs.
1032223:29:37: <Goatwright> Who the fuck is he even going to tell?
1032323:29:48: <Benedict> His ancestors.
1032423:29:56: <Goatwright> >implying they're not listening right now
1032523:30:08: <Goatwright> He literally has three ghosts around him at all time, bud.
1032623:30:10: <NachtRuine> "You would expect me to be nosy? Speak, please."
1032723:30:19: <Benedict> "Despite being a paladin, I still do not like dwarves and do not like dealing with them."
1032823:31:05: <Goatwright> "They have not left a good impression upon me. I had known of, but had not met, any dwarven people in my homeland."
1032923:31:38: <Goatwright> "I do not believe they were native."
1033023:31:58: <Benedict> "My old tribe had frequent meetings with dwarves from a city under the mountain. Since I was born, we were at war with them."
1033123:32:28: <Hippocratesi> Aeria shrugs. No issues with that.
1033223:33:26: <Benedict> "We did not like them because they killed us and because I was born and told to not like them. They did not like us because we were savages that cannibalized their dead." And then Nurel returns to just looking at his fancy rifle.
1033323:35:33: <Goatwright> "My tribe owned several humans as workers. We are heralded as great beasts to many races, I find, but humans especially. Those I encountered through my travels even moreso, perhaps because of our secluded nature."
1033423:36:40: <NachtRuine> Cannibalization aside, Saav's got no issue with that. "What's past has passed. Long as it doesn't affect today, it doesn't matter to me."
1033523:38:44: <Goatwright> Waakanti nods. "Hopefully they are not threatened by our collective appearances."
1033623:39:12: <Benedict> "Depends if they're dwarves or not."
1033723:39:39: <Hippocratesi> "I wouldn't doubt that they have their own council with them."
1033823:40:51: <Benedict> "Dwarves are crafty."
1033923:42:12: <NachtRuine> "Perhaps we should leave Aeria to handle dwarven diplomacy, if it would affect Nurel so."
1034023:44:41: <Benedict> "I can do it just fine, I just have trouble liking dwarves. Old hatreds and all. Cannot expect a paladin to completely give them up because a god gave him powers."
1034123:46:09: <NachtRuine> "If you insist."
1034223:47:19: <Benedict> I am sure Aeria has someone she dislikes beyond outsiders and demons.
1034323:47:24: <Benedict> Quotes* Shit.
1034423:48:47: <Goatwright> "Perhaps I should speak. I dislike all peoples equally."
1034523:48:52: <Goatwright> Waakanti cracks a smile. JOKES.
1034623:49:02: <Hippocratesi> She does.
1034723:49:07: <Hippocratesi> Oh
1034823:49:27: <Benedict> Funny Nikli.
1034923:49:30: <Hippocratesi> "I do indeed."
1035023:49:40: <Goatwright> Nikli is quite funny indeed.
1035123:50:35: <Goatwright> He is also useful. He decides to start casting Dancing Lights around the cart for whenever they start getting closer and more visible to whoever they're heading towards.
1035223:51:22: <Benedict> Nurel feels a little better since he opened up to everyone. Nurel's Social Link level is now 3.
1035323:51:28: <Rainglove> thirty seconds pass and WOOSH people
1035423:51:38: <Rainglove> nurel's chariot cards grow slightly stronger
1035523:52:28: <Rainglove> the card power slides to a stop by the source of the fire. It looks like another group of travelers, camped here because of the blizzard.
1035623:53:14: <Rainglove> Looks like three people and a wagon. On closer examination, looks like ratfolk.
1035723:53:42: <Goatwright> Waakanti does not know of ratfolk. They are quite interesting. His bias towards them starts slightly less worse than everybody else's!
1035823:53:46: <Goatwright> "Hello."
1035923:54:25: <Rainglove> One of the rats waves. Aeria, a pair of super cool shades have materialized on your face as you power-slide the cart to a stop. The rats seem surprised.
1036023:54:42: <Hippocratesi> "Greetings, Ratfolk."
1036123:54:42: <Goatwright> Gods are weird.
1036223:54:58: <Hippocratesi> 2cool
1036323:55:05: <Goatwright> "Are you stuck?"
1036423:55:09: <Benedict> Nurel likes the warmth of the cart.
1036523:56:02: <Rainglove> The rat that waved stands and nods. "Slight weather problem."
1036623:57:33: <NachtRuine> "Yes, we noticed. Unfavorable weather for travels."
1036723:58:05: <Benedict> "Are they heading for the town? Are they diplomats?" Nurel whispers to Saav.
1036823:58:49: <NachtRuine> 1d20+14 well are they
1036923:58:49: <BEIGE> NachtRuine: well are they: 33 (1d20+14=19)
1037023:59:12: <Goatwright> maybe you should ask
1037123:59:14: <Rainglove> their favorite colo(u)rs are red, purple, and violet respectively
1037223:59:30: <Rainglove> also you could ask
1037323:59:36: <Hippocratesi> "Are you all heading for the next town?"
1037423:59:45: <Rainglove> but I will let you hang onto that if you need it at some point while interacting with them
10375
10376 2014-10-25
1037700:00:08: <Goatwright> Thank you Rain
1037800:00:15: <Rainglove> fak u
1037900:01:24: <Rainglove> The rat shakes his head. "We're headed a bit deeper into the land, a meeting of sorts. Where're you headed?"
1038000:01:45: <Goatwright> "Similarly."
1038100:02:07: <Hippocratesi> "We're going to a sort of meeting as well. You're diplomats, then?"
1038200:04:29: <Rainglove> He nods yet again. Maybe he has a nervous tic or something. "Suppose that's a word for it. We're more stuck than diplomats at the moment. Don't suppose you could share whatever magic riding you have there?"
1038300:05:10: <Hippocratesi> "We'd be happy to." She looks to Waakanti. DO IT, FAGGOT DON'T BE RUDE YOU RACIST SHIT.
1038400:05:30: <Goatwright> Wow excuse you bitch don't look at me that way do I even look like I'm being a dick right now w o w
1038500:05:49: <Hippocratesi> all she did was look at him god why are you so fucking sensitive
1038600:05:57: <Hippocratesi> can she not LOOK in his direction
1038700:06:00: <Goatwright> Because I am a giant and thus have giant emotions
1038800:06:10: <Hippocratesi> fuk u
1038900:06:21: <Rainglove> contain your ERP
1039000:06:25: <Goatwright> "You may, although it may be a bit cramped."
1039100:07:59: <Rainglove> The rats converse among themselves for a moment, and the other two stand. "Better than staying out here."
1039200:08:30: <Rainglove> aaaaand thump thump thump the cart is suddenly three small rats heavier
1039300:08:34: <NachtRuine> "Certainly so. Where do you come from?"
1039400:08:57: <Goatwright> Urge the cart onward, oh Aeria!
1039500:09:08: <Benedict> These rats smell like poopy.
1039600:10:41: <Rainglove> "Just a small settlement slightly to the east of here. Not much to speak of, but somehow whoever these people are heard about us. You know anything about them?"
1039700:10:42: <Hippocratesi> OH UH
1039800:10:44: <Rainglove> the same rat is still talking
1039900:10:57: <Rainglove> santa-paladin still possesses godlike cart driving skills
1040000:11:06: <Rainglove> the shades give +15 to just this cart
1040100:11:09: <Hippocratesi> "We know just as much as you do."
1040200:12:03: <Rainglove> presumably you dash off through the snow once more
1040300:12:48: <NachtRuine> in a one camel open sleigh
1040400:14:11: <Rainglove> assuming you don't have any DEEP INTERPERSONAL DISCUSSIONS to have with either each other or the rats, you eventually arrive at a serious set of walls and your destination
1040500:14:45: <Goatwright> Has the blizzard let up considering we were halfway there and therefore it's two days later?
1040600:15:27: <Rainglove> it's still snowing like hell but the wind has calmed down considerably
1040700:16:20: <Hippocratesi> "This must be our stop." The camel SLOWS.
1040800:16:29: <Benedict> Those walls feel very welcoming.
1040900:18:07: <Rainglove> very. Nice and toasty.
1041000:18:18: <Hippocratesi> w-well Aeria approaches the gate.
1041100:18:49: <NachtRuine> Saav dismounts and checks himself to make sure he still has everything.
1041200:19:07: <Rainglove> Saav is buried up to his chest in snow. Goddamn. Still has everything.
1041300:19:29: <Goatwright> Waakanti decidedly doesn't dismount.
1041400:19:31: <Rainglove> The rats peer around from on top of the cart and decide that for the time being they'll stay where they are.
1041500:19:55: <Benedict> Nurel doesn't feel like disappearing yet. Cart he stays.
1041600:20:03: <NachtRuine> He regrets getting off in such a manner.
1041700:20:18: <Rainglove> Aeria, you manage to wade through the snow up to the gate with some effort. There's a dude visible on top of the wall, silhouetted by a torch.
1041800:21:52: <Hippocratesi> Aeria waves up to the dude. "May we enter? We are diplomats!"
1041900:23:38: <Rainglove> The dude starts, nearly falls off the wall, yells something about just a minute, and the gate opens.
1042000:24:07: <Goatwright> Waakanti urges his beautiful steeds inside.
1042100:24:11: <Goatwright> Mush, steeds!
1042200:24:18: <Rainglove> There's markedly less snow in the town. There's still a foot or so, but most of the falling snow seems to be drifting away from the top of the town and falling off to the sides.
1042300:24:21: <Rainglove> meeeeeejick
1042400:24:22: <NachtRuine> Saav scrambles back onto the cart before it escapes his grasp.
1042500:24:42: <Hippocratesi> Aeria gets back onto her mount and ENTERS THE TOWN.
1042600:24:42: <Rainglove> Saav gets a faceful of snow as the cart starts moving without him, but manages to get up
1042700:25:33: <NachtRuine> He wipes the snow off his face, wondering why he stopped wearing his mask.
1042800:26:13: <Benedict> Nurel hopes there is less snow inside.
1042900:26:35: <Rainglove> The town looks pretty nice as you enter. People of various races are wandering around. You're noticing more of the more animal races around here and markedly fewer dwarves.
1043000:26:43: <Goatwright> Once inside, Waakanti pulls them over to the nearest stables, disconnects the camels and mule, and gets those stone booties off their feet. Poor guys.
1043100:27:08: <Goatwright> He then puts the lil' stone booties in the cart for later. They'll probably still need them.
1043200:27:30: <Rainglove> adorable
1043300:28:04: <Benedict> Nurel hops out of the cart, holding his rifle close. Never know when you need to shoot a bitch. They arrived early, at least, so they get that free lodgings, right?
1043400:29:07: <Rainglove> While you're doing that, the wizard from before shows up. "You made it! Fantastic." He spies the rats. "And brought others, excellent."
1043500:29:35: <Benedict> Did Nurel just hear less enthusiasm over the appearance of the rats?
1043600:29:45: <Hippocratesi> Aeria grabs her shit from the cart. "We did. I assume room costs will be taken care of?"
1043700:30:07: <Goatwright> Waakanti gets his own shit as well.
1043800:31:55: <Rainglove> He nods. "The inn's right in the center of town, pretty hard to miss. have any trouble on your way here?"
1043900:32:46: <NachtRuine> "A blizzard hit us hard, got stuck momentarily."
1044000:33:22: <Goatwright> "It was quite the storm."
1044100:34:59: <Rainglove> he frowns. "Well, you made it here in plenty of time, so that's good. Sorry about the trouble."
1044200:35:53: <NachtRuine> "It was not your fault, you have nothing to apologize for." Saav looks about to familiarize himself with the current situation.
1044300:36:35: <Rainglove> There's not a whole lot you can tell from inside the town stable, but the building seems relatively well cared for. The people in town seem to be fairly well off, though the town seems smaller than yours.
1044400:36:49: <Goatwright> Richer but smaller. Got it.
1044500:37:32: <Goatwright> "Where is the inn located?"
1044600:37:46: <Hippocratesi> he just told us god damn
1044700:38:10: <NachtRuine> Saav heads off towards the inn, taking in the sights as he walks.
1044800:38:27: <Hippocratesi> Aeria follows. A warm bed would be nice.
1044900:38:58: <Benedict> Nurel will follow, he guesses, gods.
1045000:39:12: <Rainglove> Saav the inn is pretty obvious. It's the building with the "Inn" Sign in the middle of the town. The rats trail behind the group, still talking among themselves in rattese.
1045100:40:27: <Rainglove> The building seems pretty well-built. Probably no roaches.
1045200:41:29: <NachtRuine> He enters.
1045300:41:56: <Goatwright> Waakanti inspects the outside buildings in general. Can his INTENSE SHAMAN EYES discern how old all the material is?
1045400:42:44: <Rainglove> Not really. Probably less than two years, like nearly every other building.
1045500:43:08: <Benedict> Nurel just enters the place.
1045600:44:00: <Rainglove> Saav, it's purdy noice. It's also rather busy with a few other people who you'd guess are the leaders/diplomats from elsewhere. They're standing about chatting in the main room. Most of them take a few looks at your group as you enter, but nobody stares.
1045700:44:34: <Goatwright> Waakanti is pleased by the lack of staring.
1045800:44:39: <Hippocratesi> Aeria looks to the others. "Shall we mingle first?"
1045900:44:59: <NachtRuine> How's the race composition?
1046000:46:37: <Rainglove> pretty evenly mixed. There's a notable lack of dwarf, but other than that you spot a couple elves, a lone strix, a pair of half-orcs, a few catfolk, and your rats that you've already met.
1046100:47:10: <Hippocratesi> ELVES
1046200:47:24: <Benedict> Elves make me angry.
1046300:48:18: <NachtRuine> Half-orcs, but no humans. Huh.
1046400:48:49: <Goatwright> "I am unsure how good I would be at this mingling."
1046500:48:58: <Goatwright> Waakanti rubs his hands together and shuffles his feet.
1046600:49:25: <NachtRuine> "I am familiar with mingling, but I have not done so in a long time. I fear I'm rusty."
1046700:49:35: <Rainglove> waakanti's kawaii mode is activated
1046800:49:51: <Hippocratesi> Aeria blinks then looks to the goblin. "Nurel?"
1046900:50:38: <Benedict> "Sure?"
1047000:53:02: <Goatwright> GO MINGLE
1047100:53:02: <Goatwright> GODDAMN
1047200:53:06: <Goatwright> I'M READY FOR THIS MEETING
1047300:53:06: <Goatwright> FUG
1047400:53:16: <Hippocratesi> WELL WE MIGHT AS WELL JUST SKIP TO THE MEETING THEN
1047500:55:08: <Goatwright> I'M FINE WITH THAT
1047600:55:27: <Hippocratesi> RAIN HURRY
1047700:56:03: <Rainglove> WELL GODDAMN
1047800:56:27: <Rainglove> COMFORTABLE ROOMS WARM BEDS WHAM IT'S BEEN A COUPLE DAYS AND PEOPLE HAVE SLOWLY TRICKLED IN
1047900:56:33: <Rainglove> MEETING DAY
1048000:58:03: <Rainglove> You're in the town hall, two days later. People of various races are gathered. While there are a few groups like yours, with two or three representatives of different races apparently together, most are groups of a single race. You're also notably the largest group here by far.
1048100:59:26: <Hippocratesi> we're so scary
1048200:59:46: <Goatwright> grrr giant/half-orc/goblin monstuhs
1048301:03:06: <Rainglove> The wizard that apparently runs this particular town shows up after everyone else, and chairs flash into existence around the room. The wizard takes a seat and starts talking, not waiting for people to sit. He seems rather heavily enchanted at the moment. "Greetings, everyone. Glad you could all make it."
1048401:04:36: <Goatwright> Let's say before everybody got in, Waakanti casted Aura Sight. He peers at dem auras. Dem alignments.
1048501:04:53: <Hippocratesi> jesus christ if you get us thrown out
1048601:05:22: <Goatwright> He's not going to call anybody out christ
1048701:05:30: <Goatwright> it's just a good idea to know who we're dealing with faggot >:[
1048801:06:23: <Rainglove> He looks around at the absolute silence and coughs somewhat awkwardly. Clearly only got like eight charisma. "Right, well. I believe this is everyone of some significance within a week's travel of here. This's mostly just a meeting I was hoping to get everyone together for so we would know who was where, but there are a few issues I wanted to discuss more..."
1048901:07:02: <viejo> Suddenly it appears as if Qoja is going to say something!
1049001:07:05: <viejo> No, wait, false alarm.
1049101:09:15: <Rainglove> "... Seriously. Foremost the matter of our dealings between each other in the future. I know that a few of you have met before, but for the most part I believe everyone's been mostly isolated. So... welcome to the real world, I suppose." Waakanti, you're spotting a smattering of pretty much everything. There is notably less chaos than other alignments.
1049201:10:05: <Goatwright> But is there some EVIL?
1049301:10:12: <Rainglove> More good, but yeah, some evil
1049401:10:30: <Rainglove> the room largely trends towards neutral, though there are some of the extremes visible
1049501:11:11: <Goatwright> Waakanti makes a note to remember who specifically he noticed was evil for later. Most notably CE. But this can again, be gone over later.
1049601:13:52: <Rainglove> The wizard clears his throat nervously and continues. "But what I wanted to discuss can wait until later. Before I get to smaller details, was there anything anyone else was planning to discuss here? Things that may threaten other settlements, assistance you may need, anything of that sort?"
1049701:14:31: <Hippocratesi> k
1049801:14:34: <Hippocratesi> oops
1049901:14:39: <Rainglove> rather than all of you and me going back and forth over shit to discuss, if you lot have anything to say, I would do it now
1050001:14:49: <Goatwright> Waakanti raises his hand.
1050101:14:55: <Goatwright> It's okay guys he's got this.
1050201:15:01: <Rainglove> the teacher calls on him
1050301:15:09: <Hippocratesi> Aeria cannot hide her worry.
1050401:16:55: <Goatwright> "We are representatives of the town of Novit. We have been blossoming over the many months since we've been appointed as leaders, but there are some pressing issues we have that we may possibly require assistance with in the future. Namely, the presence of evil-aligned, malicious outsiders residing within the mountains near our town."
1050501:18:31: <Rainglove> those of you who aren't goat and also goat you may want to sense le motif
1050601:18:45: <NachtRuine> 1d20+14 i got this
1050701:18:45: <BEIGE> NachtRuine: i got this: 22 (1d20+14=8)
1050801:18:51: <Hippocratesi> 1d20+7 i wanna die
1050901:18:51: <BEIGE> Hippocratesi: i wanna die: 16 (1d20+7=9)
1051001:19:15: <Goatwright> "We have been attacked beforehand by an outsider affiliated with these ones specifically, who wished to gain information about we, the leaders, through the stealing of information performed by a guard put under a gea's quest by an unaffiliated man with the same desires."
1051101:19:45: <Goatwright> "It would be appreciated if we could receive any help with this pressing issue."
1051201:19:58: <Goatwright> 1d20+7 HRK
1051301:19:58: <BEIGE> Goatwright: HRK: 9 (1d20+7=2)
1051401:20:05: <Goatwright> They want soap.
1051501:20:25: <Benedict> 1d20 Let's positive thinking.
1051601:20:26: <BEIGE> Benedict: Let's positive thinking.: 14 (1d20=14)
1051701:20:44: <Goatwright> viejo pls
1051801:23:31: <viejo> what
1051901:23:57: <Benedict> Sense motive.
1052001:24:13: <viejo> 1d20+12 HRK
1052101:24:13: <BEIGE> Viejo: HRK: 19 (1d20+12=7)
1052201:24:38: <viejo> Oh am I beaten in everything OOC now? lel
1052301:27:21: <Rainglove> Most people seem surprised. A few seem nonplussed, and one or two seem downright exasperated. A tengu waves at Waakanti from across the room. "You've had this problem as well? We've had problems with cat-like creatures of a similar nature. Very persistent. We haven't had them actually venture into our town though."
1052401:28:03: <Goatwright> AW SHIT
1052501:28:32: <Benedict> "What do you mean cat-like? Do they walk like cats, they're sort of catfolk-ish? Do they disappear when you get a good look at them?"
1052601:29:44: <Rainglove> He seems to struggle to find a word. "Catlike in nature. They seem to become them from time to time. Very strange, and clearly not from this world."
1052701:30:39: <Benedict> "They're outsiders. They don't belong on this world."
1052801:30:49: <Goatwright> Waakanti motions for Nurel to shh.
1052901:30:52: <Goatwright> Now is not the time, friend.
1053001:31:03: <Goatwright> "Ours happen to take the form of wolves."
1053101:31:54: <Rainglove> The tengu frowns, then looks around at the rest of the room. "Perhaps we should discuss this later?"
1053201:32:18: <Benedict> "Might I have your town name, at least? I'd like to write it down."
1053301:32:43: <Benedict> Nurel takes out some paper and a writing utensil to mark down Novit and Tengu town as having an Outsider problem.
1053401:34:02: <Rainglove> "Peri."
1053501:34:39: <Benedict> Peri is written down for having an Outsider problem. "Do you wish to bring up anything else, Nikli?"
1053601:35:45: <viejo> Peri Peri Chicken?
1053701:35:51: <Goatwright> He nods. "Might we discuss the possibility of trade now?" He looks to the wizard.
1053801:36:23: <Rainglove> The wizard nods. "That is something I wanted to discuss."
1053901:36:31: <Rainglove> HOPEFULLY nobody will have a problem if we just
1054001:36:34: <Rainglove> glaze over that
1054101:36:58: <Benedict> No. We need to have details. How much are we getting? How much are we sending to what towns? What does each town need and what does each town have?
1054201:37:17: <Rainglove> If you REALLY MUST KNOW I will write it up later
1054301:37:38: <Goatwright> we must know indeed
1054401:37:46: <Goatwright> we want to do town shit Rain goddammit
1054501:37:49: <Goatwright> let us manage our trades
1054601:38:01: <Rainglove> I will build your trading minigame later
1054701:38:13: <Rainglove> goddamn I didn't know you wanted to play elite in kingmaker
1054801:38:34: <Goatwright> Okay, what's next for them to discuss?
1054901:39:03: <Benedict> Talk about how them dwarves are takin' their jerbs!
1055001:39:34: <Goatwright> Dey terk muh jerrrrrbs
1055101:41:47: <Rainglove> More boring bookkeeping shit we can go into if you want I suppose. Marking down as exact locations as they can about where people are, dat trade, a few of the smaller towns bitching about muh wolf problem. Nothing terribly significant, and nobody has real issues that seem similar to yours or that really require you to intervene.
1055201:41:54: <Rainglove> Unless you want to ride around to other towns killing bandits
1055301:43:02: <Goatwright> Oh I forgot to ask.
1055401:43:09: <Goatwright> Is anybody here in red?
1055501:43:45: <Rainglove> nobody's like, solid red, but there are some people who apparently think they look fashionable with some red mixed into their apparel
1055601:44:07: <Goatwright> >:[ I will find you, Man in Red.
1055701:44:56: <Goatwright> Okay so what's next to be brought up in this meeting or is it done?
1055801:45:21: <Benedict> What else, then?
1055901:47:28: <Hippocratesi> o-oh i thought there'd be more to the meetings
1056001:47:42: <Goatwright> S-so did I
1056101:48:15: <Rainglove> there is more goddamn I'm playing unlicensed medical unprofessional with viewhey
1056201:49:09: <Benedict> Okay, take your time. I'm gonna pick up some dinner.
1056301:59:22: <Rainglove> After hours of agonizingly boring shit and qojo cutting herself in the corner people stop bitching about the minor inconveniences their towns are suffering. During all the overly boring shit, your whole group feels something weighty drop into their pockets. 'Tis a note. "We're looking to get any gestalts we can together after the meeting. Meet upstairs at..."
1056401:59:28: <Rainglove> "The inn if you're available."
1056501:59:45: <Rainglove> WHO DID IT COME FRoh it was that strix all on his lonesome.
1056602:01:35: <Goatwright> >strix
1056702:01:38: <Goatwright> rain is this your old strix
1056802:02:16: <Rainglove> my old strix was a chick, nonmagical, and these are harpy-strix not "Nobody in the RP can read" owl strix.
1056902:02:34: <NachtRuine> Saav looks at the paper, as it keeps him from nearly falling asleep. He puts it back in his pocket, nodding to himself.
1057002:02:41: <Benedict> Gestalt sure are cool to be, except not. Nurel misses the old days of being a lazy shit.
1057102:02:45: <Goatwright> >Saav
1057202:02:47: <Goatwright> >falling asleep
1057302:02:50: <Goatwright> >while LAW is afoot
1057402:03:08: <Hippocratesi> Aeria sneaks a peek.
1057502:03:12: <NachtRuine> this isn't law its diplomacy
1057602:04:16: <Rainglove> The meeting does wind down, turns out nothing overtly interesting is happening in the world. The wizard nods as people finally shut the fuck up. "Well, this was informative. Please feel free to remain in town for the next few days and associate with each other. I don't expect to nail down everyone's time while one or two people discuss trade. Thank you for...
1057702:04:27: <Rainglove> "... Attending." And with that the meeting's adjourned
1057802:04:48: <Hippocratesi> oh
1057902:05:16: <NachtRuine> Saav straightens out his notes of the proceedings. Damn near empty, honestly. He stands and stretches.
1058002:06:31: <Benedict> Nurel was paying attention the whole time like a good king. Yes. A great king. Perhaps you could say a... good-great king.
1058102:07:05: <Hippocratesi> Aeria had dozed off but awoke just in time for the meeting to end.
1058202:07:29: <Goatwright> Waakanti actually listened and helped.
1058302:07:33: <Rainglove> Most people seem terribly disgruntled with the proceedings. Clearly mister wizard needs to rework his information-dumping format. While a few people stop and mingle, you spot a few others making their way for the exit fairly early. Some just seem eager to leave, but a few others, notably that strix, seem to be heading somewhere rather determinedly.
1058402:08:10: <NachtRuine> Saav looks to the others. "Shall we follow the note?"
1058502:08:13: <Goatwright> He then checks the note, and after reading it looks to his partners in crime.
1058602:08:24: <Goatwright> "We were to talk to the tengu of his outsider issues."
1058702:08:48: <Goatwright> "Shall one of us stay behind to talk to him?"
1058802:08:54: <Rainglove> mister tengu is remaining in the hall. Apparently he did not get the gestalt memo.
1058902:08:59: <NachtRuine> "We have time to do both. We'll be here for the next couple of days."
1059002:09:07: <Goatwright> Poor plebeian single-class tengu.
1059102:09:27: <Hippocratesi> "I imagine it is important." Aeria looks at her own note and hten back to the others. "The tengu can wait for now."
1059202:10:00: <Goatwright> Waakanti nods.
1059302:10:05: <Goatwright> "Alright, then. Let us go."
1059402:10:08: <Benedict> Nurel will just make sure the tengu stays. He gets up and approaches the tengu, bowing his head to possibly the fellow leader. "Quite a... chore, the meeting? Lot of information being dumped at us, I feel the man needs to work on his charisma. Are you staying in town for a few days?"
1059502:10:48: <Hippocratesi> Aeria FOLLOWS the Strix.
1059602:11:05: <Benedict> Nurel will catch up when he makes sure the tengu is staying around for a bit.
1059702:12:52: <Rainglove> The tengu nods. "I was planning to. Better to make connections now than later."
1059802:13:34: <Benedict> Excellent. "Excellent. Sometime tomorrow, perhaps, we can discuss our Outsider problem further? My people and I need to do something right now, but tomorrow is good for you?"
1059902:13:45: <Rainglove> Another nod.
1060002:14:10: <Benedict> And a nod and bow from Nurel to the tengu as he rushes to catch up with his comrades.
1060102:15:37: <Rainglove> Meanwhile THE INN. You head upstairs and note a meeting room that people are, go figure, meeting in. It seems a bit cramped, with about ten or so people in there already, and you aren't going to make it any better.
1060202:15:57: <Benedict> Fuck them, they can open a window or something.
1060302:17:09: <Hippocratesi> "It'll be a bit tight." Aeria lightly knocks on the door and enters.
1060402:17:25: <Goatwright> Lotta gestalts for an organized meeting.
1060502:18:16: <Rainglove> Lotta people in leadership positions
1060602:18:23: <Goatwright> Are any of them the evil bruhs Waakanti noted?
1060702:19:02: <Rainglove> Three of them, apparently unrelated to each other, and one of them's grouped up with someone who's rather strongly good-aligned.
1060802:19:44: <Goatwright> Waakanti wonders if it's something like Saav. He notes who they are specifically and will bring it up with the guys later.
1060902:19:57: <Benedict> Nurel's nose burns with the smell of EVIL.
1061002:20:09: <NachtRuine> Saav is uncomfortable. Not with the feel of evil, but the lack of space.
1061102:20:12: <Benedict> No, wait, that's just sweaty leaders in a cramped room. Never mind.
1061202:20:14: <Rainglove> delicious
1061302:24:00: <Benedict> Any day now, Rain.
1061402:24:22: <Rainglove> fug u
1061502:27:12: <Rainglove> Strixman nods as your group enters. "Well, I think that's everyone. Sorry for the cramped quarters but this shouldn't take too long. To be brief, there is something that I require your assistance for. I'm sure you're all familiar with the blast that ended civilization a few years ago?"
1061602:27:20: <Rainglove> (Fug sorry should be faster now)
1061702:27:54: <Hippocratesi> "Very."
1061802:27:56: <NachtRuine> "Yes, I believe we are."
1061902:28:37: <Benedict> "It was only about a year ago." Shut up, Nurel.
1062002:29:01: <Goatwright> "Overly."
1062102:30:38: <Rainglove> general mumbling from the rest of the group along the lines of "God yes you asshole". The Strix continues. "The town I'm a member of happens to be founded rather unfortunately close to where the blast originated from, and recently we've been noticing something concerning coming from that area."
1062202:31:16: <Goatwright> Inception sounds start blasting in Waakanti's head.
1062302:31:18: <Goatwright> This is it.
1062402:31:20: <Goatwright> It's happening.
1062502:31:30: <Rainglove> waakanti was the bomb all along
1062602:31:39: <Goatwright> Waakanti is the colossal titan
1062702:32:24: <Hippocratesi> "Something? As in, a creature?"
1062802:33:43: <Rainglove> "Currently we're seeing small waves of shadows and other undead moving out of that area. It hasn't been anything unreasonable yet, but they've been growing stronger. They first showed up about seven months ago, for reasons we're not really sure of. We can handle it for now, but in the future we may need assistance. I believe this is something that may..."
1062902:33:49: <Rainglove> "...Eventually threaten all of us."
1063002:34:15: <Benedict> Nurel blinks, then slowly turns his head to Saav.
1063102:35:30: <Goatwright> Waakanti also turns to look at Saav.
1063202:35:44: <NachtRuine> Saav remains quiet, continuing to listen.
1063302:35:46: <Hippocratesi> Aeria also looks at Saav, unsure why but still doing it.
1063402:36:18: <Benedict> Nurel then looks back to the group. Quick, let's ignore the thing Saav sent at them. "So your town is close to the blast location? Have you managed to learn anything about the blast?"
1063502:36:18: <Goatwright> Waakanti nudges Nurel and motions a sort of 'do we tell them?'.
1063602:49:44: <Rainglove> The Strix shakes his head. "Even before the undead, there were... issues. We lack magical expertise, even now, and the area is heavily cursed. We managed to get a few miles out from the city itself, but no closer."
1063702:55:29: <Benedict> "And you want to gather us together to defeat it?"
1063802:55:41: <Benedict> "The... thing you're dealing with."
1063902:56:45: <Rainglove> "If it becomes more of an issue. A wave of undead large enough to overcome our own town would at the very least present a problem for others, and I doubt they would stop growing in response to our leaving."
1064002:58:37: <Hippocratesi> "And these undead just keep showing up? There's no end to them?"
1064102:59:44: <Rainglove> "They're hardly numberless hordes at this point. A cleric of ours tells us there are many more, but that most leaving the city bypass our town. There were only a few bothering us before, but now we're seeing groups of five or ten almost daily."
1064203:02:05: <Benedict> "We will offer our aid." It is -their- mess, after all.
1064303:02:40: <NachtRuine> "Yes, yes. You'll have our support."
1064403:04:25: <Rainglove> The Strix smiles. "That is greatly appreciated. Thank you. If you require my assistance for anything, I will offer what I can."
1064503:04:53: <Goatwright> "We may also be able to offer assistance with the magical corruption of the ground you work."
1064603:05:08: <Benedict> "If you learn anything of the magic boom, or have anything that might be relevant to it, please send it to our town for study." No doubt Nikli would like that.
1064703:07:12: <Goatwright> quite
1064803:08:16: <Rainglove> "I'll let you know. So far our searches have been infuriatingly pointless, but if anything turns up I'll send word."
1064903:10:31: <Rainglove> Ladeeda a few other people offer to help, meeting ends
1065003:11:26: <Goatwright> Rad.
1065103:12:38: <Goatwright> Assuming nobody's coming up to them to talk or to shake down Waakanti for noticing their vile evilness, Waakanti exits and waits for his mates.
1065203:13:20: <Hippocratesi> Aeria exits as well. "Well, we learned a few helpful things I'd say."
1065303:13:31: <NachtRuine> Saav similarly exits, and looks to the now regathering group. "That was... Certainly something."
1065403:16:56: <Goatwright> "A few of the council members detected to my eyes as evil."
1065503:17:05: <Goatwright> "Four of the gestalts specifically."
1065603:17:32: <Goatwright> three whoops
1065703:18:05: <Hippocratesi> "Did you identify them?"
1065803:18:12: <NachtRuine> "I would say to keep an eye on them, but until they prove to be malicious to society, keep it at just that."
1065903:19:15: <Goatwright> Waakanti tells Aeria which ones specifically were evil (for Rain to fill out later I guess).
1066003:19:28: <Goatwright> "I saw all of their alignments. Most lean towards neutrality."
1066103:19:40: <Goatwright> "Specifically a significant lack of chaotic natures."
1066203:19:51: <NachtRuine> "Good."
1066303:20:04: <Goatwright> "There were very few." He nods.
1066403:22:45: <Goatwright> "So, is that all for now?"
1066503:23:29: <NachtRuine> "For today, I suppose."
1066603:25:46: <Hippocratesi> "If that's all, I'm off to bed. Goodnight, you three." EXIT.
1066703:26:13: <Goatwright> Waakanti hates to see her come, but loves to watch her leave.
1066803:26:17: <Goatwright> Dat ass. B)
1066903:26:35: <Goatwright> Nah but really, Waakanti decides to go as well. "I am going to go look through this town's shops."
1067003:26:40: <Goatwright> And he goes and does that.
1067103:28:04: <Rainglove> man, they really like selling food here
1067203:28:07: <NachtRuine> Saav decides to go off and examine the town. See the strengths of the town, and its weaknesses. It will help with preparing a contingency plan.
1067303:30:17: <Rainglove> Well, as mentioned earlier, pretty fairly wealthy, though small. The walls seem well constructed, the buildings seem fairly well put together, there just aren't terribly many people to guard them.
1067403:32:39: <NachtRuine> Having a large army to distract the guards would allow a small elite to come in mostly unobstructed. Saav will keep this in mind when putting it to paper back home.
1067503:36:06: <Goatwright> Jesus Saav
1067603:37:20: <NachtRuine> Saav does this for every town. He's just never been in one long enough to be able to comprehensively make one.
1067703:41:39: <Goatwright> Waakanti strolls on through. Is all they have food?
1067803:42:15: <Rainglove> nah, I'm rolling right now
1067903:55:16: <Rainglove> A random shopkeep calls out to Waakanti as he passes. "Sir! Potions, wands, rods, and other minor magical artifacts! Any interest in the arcane?"
1068004:04:42: <Goatwright> Aha!
1068104:04:52: <Goatwright> Look at this guy. It's like Rainglove knows exactly what I like about his games.
1068204:05:10: <Goatwright> Waakanti approaches the random shopkeep and nods. "I am a caster myself. What do you have?"
1068304:05:12: <Rainglove> all the shit you leave out of yours?
1068404:05:14: <Rainglove> I mean uh
1068504:05:18: <Goatwright> wow rude
1068604:05:27: <Hippocratesi> what kind of fag likes spending gold
1068704:05:50: <Rainglove> >Literally plays a golden man
1068804:05:52: <Rainglove> >Buys nothing
1068904:05:59: <Rainglove> stay OOC, plebs
1069004:08:57: <Rainglove> The shopkeep smiles. "I do have quite the selection." He pulls out a case from behind a counter and pops it open. Wands and rods line the thing, goddamn. "Invisibility? Healing? Speaking with animals? Immovable rods? Shockwaves? Whatever you want, I've got it."
1069104:11:39: <Goatwright> "Immovable rods?"
1069204:13:05: <Rainglove> El shopkeepo grabs one of the rods, lifts it into the air, taps a button, and lets go. The rod hangs in the air. "You can try to move it."
1069304:13:24: <Goatwright> Waakanti does indeed attempt to try and move it.
1069404:13:43: <Rainglove> I don't think you can roll high enough for that so
1069504:13:46: <Rainglove> rod goes nowhere
1069604:15:15: <Goatwright> He nods. "I can imagine this being quite useful. How much are you asking for it?"
1069704:16:01: <Rainglove> "Five thousand gold. I have a few more, should you want them."
1069804:17:24: <Goatwright> Waakanti internally >five thousand gold's
1069904:17:33: <Goatwright> "Do you perhaps accept trade?"
1070004:17:53: <Rainglove> "What've you got to trade?"
1070104:20:02: <Goatwright> Waakanti tries to think of all he's got on him. He scratches at his beard in thought. "...I suppose not a lot, actually. Divine focii? Physical labor? Other sorts of services?"
1070204:20:10: <Goatwright> He shrugs a bit. He's not about a little elbow grease to earn something.
1070304:20:17: <Goatwright> He's not some POMPOUS KING.
1070404:21:16: <Rainglove> "Nnnnnno, not those sorts of trades, sorry."
1070504:22:55: <Goatwright> Waakanti HARRUMPHS. "Even services a gestalt can offer?"
1070604:26:49: <Rainglove> "What sort of unique services do you offer?"
1070704:28:19: <Hippocratesi> well you see sir unlike your average adventurer
1070804:28:23: <Hippocratesi> i am two classes at once
1070904:28:26: <Hippocratesi> pretty cool huh?
1071004:28:49: <Goatwright> Hippocratesi I love you
1071104:30:56: <Goatwright> "I am an extremely potent caster than your average, and the nature of my powers allows me considerable ability regarding the deceased and the spirits beyond. I have strong relations with the spirits of my ancestors." He nods.
1071204:31:13: <Rainglove> goddamn shepard needs english 101
1071304:31:18: <Rainglove> waakanti
1071404:31:20: <Rainglove> fuck
1071504:31:22: <Goatwright> wow
1071604:31:23: <Goatwright> dang
1071704:31:25: <Rainglove> ffffff
1071804:31:30: <Hippocratesi> literally shepard
1071904:31:33: <Goatwright> you know what
1072004:31:35: <Goatwright> that's it
1072104:31:38: <Goatwright> I'm making a new character
1072204:31:40: <Goatwright> I'M DONE PLAYING
1072304:32:18: <Hippocratesi> NO WAIT
1072404:32:27: <NachtRuine> THERE'S MORE
1072504:33:41: <Goatwright> no
1072604:33:43: <Goatwright> NO
1072704:33:46: <Goatwright> FUK U HIPPO
1072804:33:47: <Goatwright> I'VE HAD IT
1072904:36:54: <Goatwright> waakanti translation: I have more spells than other casters normally do and I've got neat ancestral powers that give me interesting shit to do regarding magic dealing with dead niggas and ghosts
1073004:37:48: <Rainglove> "I'm... afraid I don't really have any need to communicate with the dead. Or for any kind of ancestral magic, really. If you can't pay for it I'm afraid you're not getting it."
1073104:39:03: <Goatwright> Waakanti taps his head in thought. "Do you.. perhaps do magical research yourself?"
1073204:39:23: <Rainglove> "Not really. I'm not very magically gifted myself. Just collect items."
1073304:40:09: <Goatwright> He snaps. Goddamn. "Alright. I apologize for wasting your time, then. Do you happen to own anything cheaper?"
1073404:50:15: <Rainglove> "Several cheaper items, yes. Wands of all descriptions, as well as scrolls or potions. I know a wizard who produces them for cheap, so if I haven't got it with me I can have it by tomorrow. Most of the other items in my possession are trinkets, though I possess one or two more interesting items."
1073504:52:43: <Rainglove> He rustles around and pulls out a cloak, a small vial, and a small cluster of tiny black pearls.
1073604:53:31: <Goatwright> Waakanti peers at them. "What do they do?"
1073704:56:07: <Rainglove> "Don't suppose you have any small fire spells on you?"
1073805:00:52: <Goatwright> Waakanti nods. "I do. Would you like me to cast it?"
1073905:01:24: <Rainglove> He pulls the cloak on. "Fire away. Gently, if you would."
1074005:04:02: <Goatwright> Waakanti gently shoots some fire at the shopkeep.
1074105:04:25: <Goatwright> Gently, of course.
1074205:04:32: <Rainglove> There's a horrifyingly dramatic woosh of flame, and a pile of bones falls to the ground where once there was man
1074305:05:18: <Goatwright> Oh god
1074405:05:28: <Goatwright> Waakanti is full panic.
1074505:05:40: <Rainglove> a few seconds later said man reappears a few feet away, patting out one of his partially on fire sleeves. "I wouldn't try that again today, the thing takes a while to recharge. Nice as a last resort, though."
1074605:05:59: <Rainglove> the pile of bones shimmers away in a flutter of illusion magic
1074705:06:27: <Goatwright> "Oh. I see." He lets out a sigh of relief. "That is actually quite an interesting piece. How much is it?"
1074805:08:02: <Rainglove> "Two thousand."
1074905:12:00: <Goatwright> Waakanti nods. "I quite like this. I might take it, but first, what are these other two items?"
1075005:13:53: <Rainglove> "Well these are beads of force, fairly common items. They trap anything they're thrown at, though if you put yourself inside of one they protect you from just about anything the world can throw at you."
1075105:15:18: <Rainglove> "They do explode as well, and it's... quite the blast, should you choose that option."
1075205:19:38: <Rainglove> "And this." He gestures to the vial. "Is an interesting little thing. You can put some of your life into it, which takes a while to get over, let me tell you. But if some magical beasty or poison decides to have a go at you later on, this thing'll protect you from it, at least a bit. Or you can use it to become incredibly strong for a few seconds."
1075305:26:08: <Goatwright> "I quite like the cloak. I'll be taking that." Waakanti drops his bag onto the countertop, pulling out 3000 gold pieces. Good thing this town is rich, or surely this would be fishy.
1075405:26:32: <Rainglove> Swap swap
1075505:26:33: <Goatwright> "Additionally, do you happen to have any items that..." He tries to find the words. "...make a man wiser?"
1075605:27:16: <Rainglove> He pulls out a headband.
1075705:27:24: <Rainglove> "Only slightly, but yes."
1075805:31:19: <Goatwright> "I'll take that as well, then."
1075905:31:23: <Goatwright> Swap swap goodbye 4k
1076005:31:36: <Rainglove> "Anything else?"
1076105:31:51: <Goatwright> He shakes his head. "No, but thank you."
10762
10763 2014-10-28
1076402:41:10: <Goatsmith> Waakanti is aboot.
1076502:41:34: <Hippocratesi> Aeria is doing things.
1076602:41:42: <Rainglove> It still snoweth. The majority of the various leaders are still in town from yesterday, that tengu not excepting. For time's sake, you've all managed to congregate with him in a room at the inn.
1076702:42:15: <Rainglove> "So what sort of trouble have your shadow things been giving you?"
1076802:42:54: <NachtRuine> "Murder, concerning the most egregious example."
1076902:44:40: <Rainglove> That seems to surprise him. "Really? We haven't had anything like that happen. They've harassed people before, and we had one person attacked, but nobody killed."
1077002:45:44: <Goatsmith> "We've had two murders and an assault, in fact. We captured it for a time, but it managed to get away before we got enough out of it."
1077102:45:58: <Hippocratesi> "And we haven't seen anymore since then."
1077202:46:09: <Goatsmith> -it +the one responsible
1077302:47:23: <Rainglove> "Hm. I'll have the watch keep a more vigilant lookout then. Do you know why this person was murdered?"
1077402:48:35: <Goatsmith> "There was a gea's quest put on him to investigate us by a separate individual, and the outsider wanted that information for itself."
1077502:50:18: <Rainglove> "Have you found the other individual? Is there a chance I may be dealing with him shortly?"
1077602:51:27: <Hippocratesi> "We...haven't found him, unfortunately."
1077702:52:15: <Goatsmith> "All we know is that he was in red."
1077802:53:29: <Rainglove> "I'll... be on the lookout for men in red? Alright. Is there anything you were wondering if I might know?"
1077902:55:26: <Goatsmith> "Have you been able to communicate with any of them?"
1078002:56:49: <Rainglove> "A few of them, though we haven't learned much. Mostly that they just want us to leave them alone, and I haven't got enough spare men to want to go and agitate them."
1078102:58:54: <Hippocratesi> "They wish to be left alone? Hm."
1078202:59:53: <NachtRuine> "That was what we were told as well, to my recollection."
1078303:00:21: <Rainglove> "It seemed prudent to avoid making enemies, if possible, so I decided to just let them be."
1078403:01:42: <Goatsmith> "Although we were also told about their plan to take our plane for themselves."
1078503:02:45: <Rainglove> "I... Did not hear about that. Did you get any other details?"
1078603:03:11: <Goatsmith> "Just that their own planes are full."
1078703:04:16: <Rainglove> "Hm. If I get the opportunity I'll ask about it, see if the ones near me have anything else to say."
1078803:04:53: <Goatsmith> "I am impressed to hear you're at least on speaking terms with them."
1078903:05:44: <Hippocratesi> "How often are you able to communicate with them?"
1079003:06:54: <Rainglove> "They travel near us fairly frequently, maybe two or three times a week. If it were something really urgent we know where they are and I /could/ go find them but... I'd rather avoid irritating them if I can."
1079103:08:03: <Goatsmith> "Understandable."
1079203:08:55: <Hippocratesi> "Indeed, I'm sure you've seen what they're capable of."
1079303:10:19: <Rainglove> "Not directly, but I've heard. Your murder doesn't make me any more eager to interact with them. That all you wanted to know about?"
1079403:10:36: <NachtRuine> "What is your suggestion to the course of action we should take?"
1079503:12:04: <Rainglove> "Try to find your man in red? You know your outsiders better than I do, do whatever you feel needs to be done."
1079603:15:27: <Goatsmith> Waakanti shrugs. "Well, thank you for your time."
1079703:16:47: <Rainglove> well that was extremely exciting
1079803:16:53: <Rainglove> Mr. Tengu departs
1079903:17:40: <Goatsmith> Time to hit on Aeria
1080003:18:35: <Goatsmith> "That was enlightening," Waakanti remarks.
1080103:18:45: <NachtRuine> "That was largely uninformative. Have we learned anything new that we can use?"
1080203:20:43: <Goatsmith> "We learned that maybe we can just go and talk to them."
1080303:21:06: <Hippocratesi> "After what happened, I don't think we are speaking terms."
1080403:23:09: <NachtRuine> "Even enemies must speak occasionally."
1080503:23:47: <Goatsmith> "It may be worth trying, considering they're still but a few miles off from town."
1080603:25:19: <Hippocratesi> "Well, if you're all up for it, I'll join you when the time comes."
1080703:25:48: <Goatsmith> "We can always use magic to protect ourselves."
1080803:26:34: <NachtRuine> "I don't want to speak to them, but I feel it must be done."
1080903:29:19: <Goatsmith> "I would be willing to speak with them alone, if necessary."
1081003:29:25: <Goatsmith> Waakanti don't give a fuck
1081103:31:10: <NachtRuine> "I would not be comfortable with letting you go alone."
1081203:31:59: <Hippocratesi> "I'd rather not lose you, or anyone, over such foolishness."
1081303:32:08: <Hippocratesi> "No one goes alone."
1081403:33:14: <Goatsmith> "If that's what you prefer, then I suppose somebody must go with me."
1081503:55:58: <NachtRuine> "As I said, I'll go, but I don't expect many pleasantries."
1081604:02:35: <Goatsmith> "Though it does not protect against magic, I have spells that can shield us from any physical attacks."
1081704:06:01: <NachtRuine> "The combination of the two magics should be enough insurance. I will see if I can prepare a way to easily escape should neither of those work as intended."

10819 2014-10-31
10820
10821
1082220:41:31: <Benedict> MEANWHILE, IN THE ADVENTURE GROUP.
1082320:41:54: <viejo> >adventure group
1082420:41:55: <viejo> pfthahaha
1082520:42:10: <Benedict> MEANWHILE, IN THE QUEST PARTY.
1082620:42:43: <Hippocratesi> Everyone is handing out Fantasy Candy to the little children of Novit.
1082720:43:21: <Benedict> No we're not.
1082820:43:24: <Benedict> Candy isn't healthy.
1082920:44:13: <Rainglove> you're all back in novit because that other town was boring as shit anyway. You can teleport there later if you need to.
1083020:45:06: <Rainglove> Meanwhile the town has been all abuzz about this giant flaming fucking chariot parked just outside town.
1083120:45:23: <Rainglove> Sounds pretty goddamn interesting
1083220:45:45: <Hippocratesi> Aeria GOES TO INVESTIGATE.
1083320:45:59: <NachtRuine> Saav is similarly interested.
1083420:46:37: <Goatwright> Waakanti also looks
1083520:48:32: <Benedict> Nurel is not interested but he has a duty to the town to look at it.
1083620:48:40: <Rainglove> Further deep investigation, in the form of walking to the edge of the town, reveals a very, very large chariot that appears to be very on fire, and is surrounded by all manner of assorted undead.
1083720:48:46: <Rainglove> Mostly skeletons, of the spooky scary variety.
1083820:48:57: <Goatwright> Waakanti uh
1083920:48:58: <Benedict> SPOOKY.
1084020:49:02: <Goatwright> casts Detect Magic on them?
1084120:49:08: <Benedict> ZOINKS, SCOOB.
1084220:49:11: <Rainglove> well they're skeletons
1084320:49:30: <Benedict> DETECT EVIL.
1084420:50:18: <Hippocratesi> Aeria shudders. SMITE EVIL SMITE EVIL SMITEEVILSMITEEVILSMITEEVILSMITEEVILSMITEEVIL- but she'll stand down for now.
1084520:50:26: <Rainglove> well they're undead
1084620:50:27: <Rainglove> so
1084720:50:28: <Rainglove> yes
1084820:50:34: <Benedict> EVIILLLLLLLLLLLL.
1084920:50:41: <nachtimus> Saav is unsettled by this appearance of skellingtons. He expects a fight.
1085020:50:43: <Goatwright> "Can we help you?"
1085120:50:48: <Goatwright> Waakanti speaks to them.
1085220:50:51: <Goatwright> He is not FRIGHTENED BY SKELETONS.
1085320:52:22: <viejo> "'Oh yes we were just searching for the town of cookies and cake'" Qoja mocks.
1085420:52:38: <Rainglove> The few skeletons near waakanti seem extremely weirded out by the presence of the befleshed one. They scoot away from him with a few of them muttering something along the lines of "Fine, fine".
1085520:52:53: <Goatwright> Waakanti ponders.
1085620:53:01: <Goatwright> Maybe he should speak the LANGUAGE OF THE UNDEAD TO THEM.
1085720:53:14: <Goatwright> So he speaks in NECRIL. "[Is there a reason you're here?]"
1085820:53:34: <nachtimus> Saav cannot speak to these skeletons. If they were outsiders, though, that would be possible.
1085920:54:17: <Hippocratesi> Aeria wishes to destroy them all, one by one. Undead scum.
1086020:56:12: <Rainglove> they answered you in common just fine waakanti. One of them just says the same thing in necril as it scoots away from him. "[Doing fine, fleshy]"
1086120:56:32: <BEIGE> NachtRuine: SNSMOT: 28 (1d20+14=14)
1086220:56:32: <NachtRuine> 1d20+14 SNSMOT
1086320:56:55: <Hippocratesi> do WHAT
1086420:57:02: <Goatwright> Well FINE RAIN GOD
1086520:57:08: <Goatwright> "Is there... a reason you're here?"
1086620:58:32: <Rainglove> More scooting occurs. Someone finally takes pity on you, and a slightly taller skeleton appears out of the crowd of bones. "You lost or something?"
1086720:58:57: <Rainglove> looks like he was a half-orc before undeath happened. I guess he's still a half-orc.
1086820:59:44: <Hippocratesi> "You seem to be the ones who are lost."
1086920:59:45: <Benedict> Are these skeletons full retarded or something? "You're near our town. What do you want?"
1087021:02:25: <Rainglove> He points up at the sky. "We were just passing through, but it's a full moon. You know how that works, right?"
1087121:02:29: <Rainglove> K religion whoever has it
1087221:02:40: <NachtRuine> 1d20+8 relig
1087321:02:41: <Goatwright> 1d20+4 I indeed do, says Waakanti
1087421:02:41: <BEIGE> Goatwright: I indeed do, says Waakanti: 13 (1d20+4=9)
1087521:02:41: <BEIGE> NachtRuine: relig: 19 (1d20+8=11)
1087621:03:04: <viejo> 1d20+7 skellingtons?
1087721:03:04: <BEIGE> Viejo: skellingtons?: 20 (1d20+7=13)
1087821:03:21: <Benedict> 1d20+7 Fug.
1087921:03:21: <BEIGE> Benedict: Fug.: 21 (1d20+7=14)
1088021:03:27: <BEIGE> Hippocratesi: help: 9 (1d20+6=3)
1088121:03:27: <Hippocratesi> 1d20+6 help
1088221:03:46: <Hippocratesi> that makes no sense but fine
1088321:05:25: <Rainglove> Saav, aeria, waakanti, there is totally nasty black magic that happens on full moons. They're probably going to burn your town to the ground in a massive orgy of death. Qojinoninata, Nurel, you know there's some sort of lunar shit less evil types use to fuel magic. How it works, no clue, but full and new moons are particularly strong times for such things...
1088421:05:27: <Rainglove> to be done.
1088521:05:37: <Rainglove> Totally not evil black magic though, just a little weird.
1088621:06:01: <viejo> Jeepers!
1088721:06:20: <Benedict> But they register as evil. EVIL.
1088821:07:04: <Rainglove> it's still negative energy
1088921:07:07: <Goatwright> EEEEEEEEEEVAUYUL
1089021:07:08: <Hippocratesi> Aeria reaches for her sword. Ain't no undead burning down ANYTHING.
1089121:07:17: <Rainglove> it just doesn't necessarily come from dark evil gods
1089221:07:21: <Rainglove> It /might/
1089321:07:51: <Rainglove> but it probably doesn't. Whole lot of effort to go to when you can just wave your hands and conjure zombies.
1089421:08:58: <NachtRuine> "I'm afraid your plans are quite contrary to our desires. Mainly that of life."
1089521:10:29: <Hippocratesi> "Your very existence is a sin."
1089621:11:09: <Benedict> Nurel is busy thinking of what else, besides burning the town, would be used for the full moon. Fueling magic, sure. But WHY?
1089721:11:20: <Rainglove> Mr. Skeleton seems mildly affronted. "Well that's rude. I'm not walking in here talking about how gross your /organs/ are." He sounds revolted.
1089821:11:56: <Goatwright> "Technically speaking, you once had organs yourself."
1089921:12:01: <Goatwright> Waakanti stares blankly at the skeleton.
1090021:12:13: <Benedict> How rude.
1090121:12:16: <Rainglove> "Well I don't now, and thank the gods for that."
1090221:12:22: <Benedict> Mr. Skeletal should blog about it on tumblr.
1090321:13:15: <Benedict> Nurel tries the diplomatic thing. "The full moon is typically used to fuel magic. That and a new moon. What exactly are you planning, and speak the truth, my friend here is good at sniffing out lies." Nurel points to his FRIEND, Saav.
1090421:13:35: <viejo> "We've got a bone to pick with you... Geddit? Bone to pi- ah forget it."
1090521:15:01: <NachtRuine> Saav knows their intentions. "Isn't it possible that you... Not burn and pillage our town?"
1090621:17:00: <Rainglove> Mr. Skeleton continues looking offended. "We just need to stop for the night here. Recharge, as it were. Nothing nearly as sinister as burning a town down."
1090721:17:18: <Goatwright> "You do appear to be burning your chariot down."
1090821:17:23: <Goatwright> "You can understand."
1090921:17:25: <Goatwright> More blank stares.
1091021:17:32: <NachtRuine> 1d20+14 i dont believe you
1091121:17:32: <BEIGE> NachtRuine: i dont believe you: 24 (1d20+14=10)
1091221:18:43: <Rainglove> well he seems to be telling the truth saav
1091321:19:00: <Rainglove> "Oh, the fire? That's just our driver. He likes to be dramatic."
1091421:19:06: <viejo> 1d20+12 hrrrkkk
1091521:19:06: <BEIGE> Viejo: hrrrkkk: 13 (1d20+12=1)
1091621:19:14: <viejo> They want to sell us Garret's nose.
1091721:19:21: <Benedict> "Tell your driver to come out."
1091821:19:36: <Hippocratesi> So we can smite 'im? Good thinking, Nurel.
1091921:19:56: <NachtRuine> Saav is unsettled. He looks to the others. "He seems truthful, as far as I can see." He obviously doesn't want to believe the skeleton, but he does.
1092021:21:30: <Rainglove> "Well, it's day time. If you want to go see him that'd be fine, but I don't think he can come out."
1092121:22:07: <Benedict> Nurel will, thank you very much. Nurel is gonna confirm the burning driver.
1092221:22:22: <Hippocratesi> "Truthful or not, we cannot have...undead near our town."
1092321:22:57: <Goatwright> "Technically we already do." He motions towards the mountain that just so happens to have TONS of undead.
1092421:23:37: <Benedict> "You know exactly what she meant, Nikli."
1092521:23:59: <Goatwright> "We allow every other type of being in."
1092621:24:12: <NachtRuine> "We must take care of that some time soon. That said, a camp could be set up outside the walls. Prevent any possible damage."
1092721:24:38: <Goatwright> "From bandits to goblin and elvish tribesmen to an unintelligent, rampantly magic half-ogre."
1092821:24:55: <NachtRuine> As a person who's been bitten too many times by evil-detected beings, he would rather edge closer to safety.
1092921:25:15: <Hippocratesi> "At least they are natural beings, unlike these abominations!"
1093021:25:19: <Goatwright> "It would not hurt to simply watch them. I would rather not incur additional penalties with whatever evil gods watch down upon us."
1093121:25:31: <Goatwright> "We've had enough of that."
1093221:25:39: <Benedict> "That half-ogre is doing much better, thank you." He is, right? Nurel's teachings have gone well?
1093321:25:49: <Goatwright> He talks, at least.
1093421:25:53: <Benedict> Good enough.
1093521:25:54: <Goatwright> And he farms gud.
1093621:25:59: <Benedict> Excellent.
1093721:26:11: <Hippocratesi> Gr8 stuff
1093821:26:29: <Benedict> So, uh, that flaming driver is there, right?
1093921:26:41: <Goatwright> Does the chariot burst into rainbows?
1094021:27:09: <NachtRuine> "I would feel better not having them within the city, but as I said, a camp outside the walls keeps the denizens safe."
1094121:27:35: <Goatwright> "A camp sounds passable."
1094221:28:24: <Benedict> This sounds like the need for paperwork. "Have them sign an agreement that they can be outside of our walls, but we will have guards watching them and will take action if they plan anything against our town."
1094321:29:32: <NachtRuine> "A verbal agreement is fine enough. No contracts needed, unless these beings would be bound to said contract."
1094421:30:45: <Rainglove> The half-orc speaks back up. "No need for any camps or such on your part. We'll be fine where we are."
1094521:32:28: <NachtRuine> "Just out of curiosity, where is it you all are going?"
1094621:33:48: <viejo> They've got a one-way ticket to hell and back.
1094721:34:26: <viejo> Glottis is their driving.
1094821:34:28: <viejo> driver*
1094921:36:54: <Rainglove> He points towards the mountains. "We've heard there're a few other undead types hanging out in there. We've just come up from another group down south, but they weren't really terribly friendly. Hopefully these guys'll be better."
1095021:37:24: <viejo> "How'd you end up this way? C'mon, spill your beans. All over the floor."
1095121:37:38: <Goatwright> "Dwarves tend to be rather racist and unwelcoming, but good luck nonetheless."
1095221:37:38: <Hippocratesi> "And where did you come from?"
1095321:38:03: <Benedict> Nurel wishes he knew the name of that dwarf place.
1095421:38:12: <Goatwright> Shitty Inn
1095521:39:15: <Rainglove> "Well we rode." He points at the giant flaming chariot that you'd heard about and have been standing near. "And yeah, but it might be somewhere to stay without you holy types trying to murder us all hours of the day."
1095621:40:16: <viejo> "I'm not holy in the slightest! C'mon, tell me your secrets."
1095721:41:13: <Benedict> "I feel I've been far more accommodating than I should. I offended by the bag of bones."
1095821:45:55: <Rainglove> Mr. Bones decides to just ignore the rude-ass goblin. "We're just traveling. Our driver pulls in undead like us from miles around with... something, and we just follow him. Better than wandering around until someone bashes you to pieces. We were down south with some outsider-undead-types, but they were a bit too bent on killing people for our tastes."
1095921:46:44: <Goatwright> Waakanti casts DETECT MAGIC on that cart.
1096021:46:52: <Goatwright> What's its deal?
1096121:48:10: <NachtRuine> "Can you tell us something about the southernly outsiders?"
1096221:48:10: <viejo> "Where's the final destination?"
1096321:48:49: <Rainglove> It's some kind of weird negative energy thing waakanti. Probably also keeps living people from getting too close, at least unintentionally.
1096421:48:56: <Benedict> Nurel wants to get off Mr. Bones Wild Ride.
1096521:49:30: <Goatwright> "May I see your driver?"
1096621:49:48: <Rainglove> Bone-orc shrugs. "Wherever we can find someplace. We've got plenty of time to find somewhere. And there's not really a lot to tell. They just sat around summoning more of them and occasionally trying to murder people."
1096721:50:13: <Hippocratesi> Aeria wishes to act but she'd get yelled at by Giant Asshole and Judge Orc.
1096821:50:33: <Goatwright> >Giant Asshole
1096921:50:39: <Goatwright> o-oh I thought they got along for the most part
1097021:50:49: <Hippocratesi> Those names were OOC of course :^]
1097121:51:27: <viejo> "Well good luck to you I guess. Obviously most people are gonna be pretty weirded out by you guys but hey if you're not hurtin' anyone it's fine by me." She shrugs.
1097221:51:41: <Benedict> "Well, feel free to camp out here, so long as you don't hurt anyone in town. As for your destination of the dwarf town, I am not sure if that is safe. There are outsiders near a mountain pass, and the outsiders might also be near and in the dwarf kingdom."
1097321:51:51: <Benedict> We should leave them be so they can set up a SPOOKY SKELETON CARNIVAL.
1097421:52:04: <Goatwright> Okay sure Waakanti leaves
1097521:54:31: <viejo> Qoja goes off to build a snowman.
1097621:54:37: <Goatwright> we can chill or you can bother otto or idunno nigguh
1097721:54:54: <Hippocratesi> Aeria goes to PLAY WITH THE CHILDREN OR SOMETHING.
1097821:54:59: <NachtRuine> With no other questions, Saav leaves as well, making sure to tell a guardsman to make sure someone's always got their eye on the skeleton carnival.
1097921:55:57: <Benedict> Nurel goes back to answer the door at the town hall to give out unhealthy candy, even though he disagrees with it.
1098021:57:15: <viejo> Qoja gives the snowman a huge raging cock.
1098121:57:25: <viejo> Then kicks it off and giggles.
1098221:57:36: <Hippocratesi> That's right
1098321:57:38: <Goatwright> The making of tumblr.
1098421:57:39: <Hippocratesi> fuck the patriarchy
1098521:58:27: <NachtRuine> Saav considers scaring people for the fun of it, but decides that wouldn't be becoming of the town marshal. Oh, responsibilities.
1098621:58:31: <Benedict> Nurel rubs his hands as he thinks of how lonely he is.
1098721:59:27: <Hippocratesi> Dwarf children are quite small.
1098822:01:06: <viejo> 1d20 How good is the snowman?
1098922:01:06: <BEIGE> Viejo: How good is the snowman?: 6 (1d20=6)
1099022:01:17: <viejo> Looks more like a turd.
1099122:03:30: <Benedict> Why do we have a snowman?
1099222:05:54: <viejo> Because you're all Lawful Anti-fun
1099322:06:22: <Hippocratesi> i assume it's still snow-y
1099422:06:33: <viejo> Qoja is pelting snowballs at the snowman.
1099522:08:10: <NachtRuine> Saav happens upon this scene of assault and battery upon the snowman. "Why do you pelt the snowman so?"
1099622:08:48: <viejo> "Why not? Nothin' better to do around here."
1099722:09:11: <viejo> 1d20+4 ACROBATIC THROW
1099822:09:11: <BEIGE> Viejo: ACROBATIC THROW: 16 (1d20+4=12)
1099922:09:33: <viejo> oh wait make that +14, she probably did a flip or some shit
1100022:11:05: <NachtRuine> "Well, you don't seem to be the type to enjoy reading, so that certainly limits things." A tone of mirth indicates that this was a joke.
1100122:12:14: <Benedict> Gods damn, there are so many kids. Why is candy even popular?
1100222:13:46: <Hippocratesi> God damn these kids have shitty costumes
1100322:14:05: <Goatwright> Haha that kid looks like a faggo- oh he's dressed as Waakanti. :[
1100422:15:46: <Benedict> So he's dressed as a faggot?
1100522:16:04: <Benedict> Wait, what is that one kid supposed to be dressed as? He has a D pinned on a jacket and is styling his hair all weird.
1100622:17:29: <Goatwright> Must be...
1100722:17:32: <Goatwright> ...a spy!
1100822:17:33: <Goatwright> Kill him!
1100922:18:25: <viejo> "Ha, you have no idea how many books I've read. Big ol' bookworm I used to be back in the day."
1101022:20:14: <NachtRuine> "Yes, but the mind is a muscle. It must be trained." Saav makes a snowball, then makes it levitate in his hand, for no other reason than just because.
1101122:21:21: <viejo> Qoja throws a snowball at it.
1101222:21:35: <viejo> 1d20+8 reflex hrk
1101322:21:36: <BEIGE> Viejo: reflex hrk: 25 (1d20+8=17)
1101422:23:38: <NachtRuine> *paf* The snowball is hit and it reels back from the collision, but comes back up, albeit a much less spherical shape. In fact, it's more of a potato shape now. "Nice throw."
1101522:24:15: <viejo> "Gotta keep the physical muscles good as well." She winks.
1101622:25:35: <NachtRuine> Saav lets it fall to the ground, to join its snow brothers. "You've known me long enough to know I'm a specialist."
1101722:27:34: <viejo> "Known you long enough to know there's probably a form about somewhere on authorizin' the construction of a snowman... or other snow-based object of unnatural origin." She says the last part in a well-spoken and jokey manner before laughing.
1101822:29:32: <NachtRuine> He chuckles. "I'll have you know forms are important. They standardize information. Makes things easier to organize."
1101922:32:11: <viejo> "Maybe in another life I'll understand the appeal... But for now, pelting this snowman with snowballs suits me fine." Whoosh, another one flies off.
1102022:32:59: <NachtRuine> "Then I shall leave you to it." With that, Saav takes his leave.
1102122:33:29: <Benedict> Wait a minute... that kid already got candy from here! Get the hell out of here, kid!
1102222:34:36: <NachtRuine> He sees Nurel handing candies out to the children at the town hall. "Enjoying your charity, Nurel?"
1102322:35:02: <Hippocratesi> Oh god, now the elf children are fighting with the goblin children.
1102422:35:13: <Hippocratesi> This is not on the job description for 'Paladin'.
1102522:36:12: <Goatwright> Waakanti materializes behind Saav and Nurel. "What are these things you hand out?
1102622:36:13: <Benedict> Goblin children out with leashes? Their parents won't like this. "Aeria, get the two groups to stop fighting for candy." Nurel gives the command, then looks to Saav. "Suppose? Not sure the point of this 'holiday'. Candy isn't good for you."
1102722:36:56: <Benedict> The goblin shrugs at Waak, holding up one such "candy". Something wrapped up , with the only visible part being a stick. "No idea. They call this thing a... candy apple?"
1102822:37:29: <Goatwright> Waakanti grabs it by the stick and sniffs it.
1102922:37:49: <Goatwright> He takes a bite, wrapper and all, and cringes. "This texture is unpleasant. Why is it cooked wrapped in paper?"
1103022:38:00: <Benedict> "You're supposed to remove the paper."
1103122:38:10: <Goatwright> "Why would you put paper on if you are supposed to remove it?"
1103222:38:17: <NachtRuine> "I did not have this holiday where I came from, but I can see the appeal, at least for the children."
1103322:38:30: <Benedict> "Because it is a sticky candy. Don't want dirt or other things sticking to it."
1103422:38:32: <Hippocratesi> "That's much easier said than done, Nurel." Aeria holds up a thrashing Goblin kid by his hood.
1103522:38:46: <Benedict> Wow. Holding up the GOBLIN kid? What a racist.
1103622:39:08: <NachtRuine> "They get to dress up in costumes, receive candy, and eat it all in one night."
1103722:39:14: <Goatwright> Waakanti removes the wrapper and takes a bite, then cringes.
1103822:39:16: <Hippocratesi> YOU CALLIN' ME A RACIST
1103922:39:19: <Goatwright> "It is too sweet."
1104022:39:51: <Goatwright> Aeria and the two groups are suddenly and violently shoved aside a giant cloaked figure frolics over to the door.
1104122:39:53: <Benedict> "I agree, but it seems the other races have a tradition about handing out candy like this on this specific day. Weird tradition, but it would be an unpopular move to get rid of it."
1104222:39:55: <Goatwright> It is none other than Otto!
1104322:40:01: <Goatwright> He holds his bag out.
1104422:40:04: <Goatwright> "Food!"
1104522:40:35: <Benedict> Oh gods. Nurel gets another candy apple out and drops it in Otto's bag. "Be sure you thank everyone who gives you candy, Otto."
1104622:41:03: <Benedict> At least Otto seems to enjoy his time in the town now :)
1104722:41:18: <Hippocratesi> Aeria moves the children before they are crushed by the god damn half-ogre. "It's great seeing you too, Otto." SARCASM, WATCH WHERE YOU'RE GOING BOY.
1104822:42:03: <Goatwright> "Okay! Thank you, mistuh Nurel!" Otto's grubby hands tear the wrapper off the candy apple as he begins to gorge himself.
1104922:42:27: <NachtRuine> After being shoved, Saav has a seat with the goblin and sighs. "I think I saw a child with a crude replication of my mask. I am unsure if it is flattering."
1105022:42:46: <Goatwright> Waakanti, meanwhile is ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY DISGUSTED. "[Move along, inbred.]" Otto gives a ginger pout and moves on to the other houses.
1105122:42:52: <Benedict> "I have not seen a child that looks like me yet. I feel unpopular."
1105222:43:59: <NachtRuine> "Perhaps it's simply chance. Or the fact that there are not that many goblin children here to begin with."
1105322:48:46: <Benedict> "Perhaps. I hope Otto doesn't destroy any houses looking for candy."
1105422:49:37: <NachtRuine> "Would you like to supervise him? I can hand the candy out."
1105522:53:34: <Benedict> "Not really. What am I, his father?"
1105622:54:35: <Goatwright> LG my ass
1105722:54:36: <NachtRuine> "Have you not taken up that role already? Even as his employer, you are teaching him how to properly act. That sounds like the job of a father to me."
1105822:57:55: <Benedict> "Couldn't you apply that to government, then, with its laws about how to act properly. Or should we call ourselves the older brother of the town?"
1105922:59:58: <NachtRuine> "That's a matter of philosophy. Personally, I feel government is akin to a third parent."
1106023:06:10: <viejo> Qoja's busy crying over broken promises and unfulfilled dreams.
1106123:07:52: <Benedict> What promises? What dreams?
1106223:07:58: <Rainglove> NIGHT FALLS
1106323:08:06: <Rainglove> OOOOOOO
1106423:08:19: <Goatwright> Spooky
1106523:08:37: <Hippocratesi> Aeria is in the main hall, glad to be away from those GOD DAMN KIDS.
1106623:09:32: <Rainglove> the kids are never far away aeria
1106723:09:50: <Goatwright> they all think she's so pretty
1106823:10:12: <Benedict> And that she's got big 'uns like the girls in the magazines.
1106923:10:12: <Hippocratesi> fug
1107023:10:28: <Hippocratesi> I never had a hot teacher
1107123:10:48: <Rainglove> nobody did
1107223:11:14: <Hippocratesi> o-oh
1107323:11:15: <Goatwright> I-I did
1107423:11:23: <Rainglove> lies
1107523:11:26: <Goatwright> truths
1107623:12:53: <Rainglove> ANYWAY MOON IS UP. On the outside of town the skellingtinos have set up some sort of structure that glows a dark blueish white in the moonlight.
1107723:14:14: <Benedict> I had a hot teacher.
1107823:14:37: <viejo> Neat. Qoja goes over to investigate.
1107923:14:40: <Rainglove> Some kind of metal spiral with little glowing orbs hanging from the sides. Every now and again one of the skellingtons will walk past and grab one of the orbs off of it and walk off with it.
1108023:14:54: <Rainglove> Well, qoja sees that
1108123:15:18: <Rainglove> Whatever those things are, they're giving off a faint magical aura. They look like little crystal balls almost.
1108223:15:18: <Goatwright> Waakanti heads over as well!
1108323:15:29: <Goatwright> And he detects magic on those crystal balls.
1108423:15:35: <Rainglove> well they're magic
1108523:15:42: <Goatwright> Yes but what do they DO
1108623:15:49: <Rainglove> K arcana bruh
1108723:15:55: <Rainglove> you and nana nana qojana
1108823:16:12: <Goatwright> 1d20+3 hrrrrrkkkkk
1108923:16:12: <BEIGE> Goatwright: hrrrrrkkkkk: 16 (1d20+3=13)
1109023:16:21: <Rainglove> they make pretty glowies
1109123:16:23: <Goatwright> waakanti why are you so useless
1109223:16:26: <Goatwright> I need to fix you
1109323:16:42: <Benedict> Nurel DETECTS EVIL on those orbs.
1109423:17:07: <Hippocratesi> Aeria materializes with the others.
1109523:17:19: <Rainglove> The ones the skellingtons are holding detect as ebil, but the ones hanging out on the structure don't.
1109623:17:42: <Goatwright> Waakanti casts caution to the wind.
1109723:17:48: <Goatwright> He grabs a little crystal ball.
1109823:18:54: <Rainglove> Waakanti, you feel a bit chilly. Everyone else, Waakanti seems to have thinned out quite a bit, in that he is now a skeleton.
1109923:19:07: <Goatwright> No shit it feels chilly.
1110023:19:08: <Goatwright> It's winter.
1110123:19:15: <viejo> 1d20+7 muh arcana knowledge
1110223:19:15: <BEIGE> Viejo: muh arcana knowledge: 9 (1d20+7=2)
1110323:19:16: <Goatwright> Snow is everywhere.
1110423:19:17: <viejo> dur
1110523:19:24: <Rainglove> A BIT CHILLY
1110623:19:31: <viejo> Qoja just calls out "Heeeyyyyy skeletooooooons, what're you guys up to?"
1110723:19:41: <viejo> "Are you up to some naughty skeleton magic?"
1110823:19:43: <Goatwright> >Qoja fails to notice Waakanti is a skeleton
1110923:19:46: <Hippocratesi> "N-Nikli, you..." Aeria goes to touch him, perhaps its an illusion.
1111023:19:50: <Benedict> OH GODS. WAAK IS SO SPOOKY. "Nikli, did you go on a diet? You're all bones."
1111123:20:03: <Rainglove> well she rolled a 2
1111223:20:03: <viejo> >implying is near those dorks and can even tell it's Waakanti
1111323:20:15: <Goatwright> it's not like his clothes just disappeare
1111423:20:47: <Goatwright> Waakanti steps away from Aeria's touch.
1111523:20:51: <Goatwright> Personal bubble.
1111623:21:01: <Goatwright> "I have not been eating as I once was."
1111723:21:11: <Goatwright> "I did not think it was so noticeable. Do I appear weaker?"
1111823:21:18: <Rainglove> Qoja the skeletons with the orbs seem to be /slightly/ inebriated. Except for the ones who aren't, and are terribly drunk on whatever. One of them waves at Qoja, but nobody responds.
1111923:21:22: <Rainglove> Nah aeria, he bones
1112023:22:03: <Hippocratesi> Aeria frowns as he moves. "I apologize but you're a...a skeleton."
1112123:22:17: <Rainglove> waakanti you do appear to be a skeleton
1112223:22:19: <Benedict> "You're falling apart. Like all your skin and muscle disappeared."
1112323:22:21: <Rainglove> you don't /feel/ dead
1112423:22:24: <Goatwright> "Oh."
1112523:22:25: <Hippocratesi> "The orb did something to you."
1112623:22:35: <Goatwright> Waakanti looks down at his hands. /Oh/.
1112723:22:54: <Goatwright> He decides to set the orb back down. Does it fix him?
1112823:22:58: <Rainglove> Aside from all the chilly, the orb you're holding feels nice and warm. Very comfortable in all this snow.
1112923:23:44: <Rainglove> Well goddamn your typing. Yes, but it takes a few seconds. The warm drains out of your arm where the orb was, and then you just sort of pop back into person-ism.
1113023:24:13: <Benedict> "You look like you could lose some weight."
1113123:24:27: <Goatwright> "You look like you could gain some inches."
1113223:24:32: <Rainglove> aw shit
1113323:24:37: <Goatwright> #rekt
1113423:24:42: <Rainglove> will save against that sick burn nurel
1113523:25:02: <viejo> Qoja waves back. "Oh man, you guys are having a good time, where do I sign up?"
1113623:25:09: <viejo> Qoja is psssyched.
1113723:25:10: <Benedict> 1d20+8 My feelings are hurt.
1113823:25:10: <BEIGE> Benedict: My feelings are hurt.: 24 (1d20+8=16)
1113923:25:24: <Rainglove> Nurel remains stoic. No trip to the burn center needed.
1114023:25:42: <Benedict> "You sound like you could learn to make a joke."
1114123:26:24: <Goatwright> "You sound like you should learn to take one." #doublereboundrekt
1114223:26:57: <Hippocratesi> "Quit acting like little boys, both of you."
1114323:27:09: <Hippocratesi> "This is not the time to be arguing."
1114423:27:14: <viejo> Hopefully Qoja isn't near these fucks.
1114523:27:16: <Goatwright> "Yes. Come. Let us take this opportunity to learn of these skeletons." Waakanti picks his orb back up and decides to go mingle with the skellytons and gain some INFORMATION.
1114623:27:18: <Rainglove> nah
1114723:27:18: <Benedict> ...Nurel whispers. "You still sound like you need to learn to make one."
1114823:27:25: <viejo> Praise the bum.
1114923:28:00: <Rainglove> One of the skeletons tosses an orb Qoja's way. He throws very badly, but it goes somewhat in her direction. She could totally catch that.
1115023:28:12: <viejo> Do I need to roll?
1115123:28:32: <Rainglove> nah
1115223:28:41: <viejo> She catches it.
1115323:28:55: <Rainglove> Qoja becomes spooky
1115423:29:09: <Goatwright> Waakanti spookily mingles with the spooks.
1115523:29:28: <Rainglove> Waakanti the skeletons are clearly uncomfortable with your beskinned nature
1115623:29:34: <Rainglove> mingling is not a thing that is happening
1115723:29:38: <viejo> "Oh damn, I've lost all my curves!" She laughs then stops suddenly. "This isn't permanent, is it?" she asks the skellyjelly who threw it.
1115823:29:42: <Goatwright> He grabbed the orb again
1115923:29:43: <Goatwright> you anus
1116023:30:03: <Rainglove> well then FINE
1116123:30:34: <Hippocratesi> Aeria looks to Nurel. "Should we...?" She gestures to some of the orbs.
1116223:30:50: <Benedict> "Are you calling me fat?"
1116323:31:44: <Goatwright> What is going on in this carnival of cadavers and where is the party bumpin'?
1116423:31:46: <Rainglove> The skelly shakes his head and approaches her. "Nah, should wear off by tomorrow, long as you don't eat it or something crazy like that."
1116523:32:12: <Hippocratesi> "Well, you have gotten a bit lazy recently."
1116623:32:31: <viejo> "I'm not completely braindead... even if it appears I have no fleshy parts currently." She ponders.
1116723:32:32: <Benedict> "So have you. Suppose we both need an orb."
1116823:32:43: <viejo> "What's the, uh, actual purpose of this? I mean, it's NEAT, but, why?"
1116923:33:35: <Hippocratesi> Aeria frowns a bit. "Well I- maybe we do, then."
1117023:33:57: <Rainglove> Well the party seems to be most bumpin' around the spiral thing, waakanti. A crowd's gathered around a few skeletons who are trying to build a larger skeleton out of their combined parts, but they're having issues with the limbs, what with having sixteen femurs among themselves.
1117123:34:27: <Goatwright> skeletons are fucking weird, man
1117223:34:40: <Rainglove> back off fleshy
1117323:34:57: <Goatwright> He decides to go look for that mysterious fire chariot driver.
1117423:36:37: <Rainglove> Qoja the skeleton laughs. "Just keeps us together. Don't know how it works exactly, but they're... warm, sort of. Things get a little bland when you don't have nerves."
1117523:36:53: <Benedict> Why the fuck are they doing that. Nurel whispers among his group. "Building a giant skeleton outside of our town. Suspicious."
1117623:37:27: <viejo> Qoja shrugs in a very skeleton like manner. "I'm game."
1117723:37:37: <viejo> rain are they removing body parts freely? like, is it obvious they're okay with it?
1117823:37:49: <Hippocratesi> it might not be so safe for us
1117923:38:04: <viejo> >implying qoja's going to take her own parts off
1118023:38:12: <Hippocratesi> w-well i-i just thought
1118123:38:28: <Rainglove> yeah viejo
1118223:38:44: <Rainglove> vaguely reminiscent of people building towers of cards
1118323:38:45: <NachtRuine> 1d20+5 wtf with skellies
1118423:38:45: <BEIGE> NachtRuine: wtf with skellies: 16 (1d20+5=11)
1118523:38:48: <Rainglove> just more interesting
1118623:38:51: <Rainglove> naaah
1118723:39:16: <Rainglove> Waakanti you find him eventually, or who you think is him. There's a guy walking around the spiral replacing orbs where people are taking them off. He seems fairly human.
1118823:39:23: <viejo> Qoja notices this. She puts her hands on the skelly's lowest ribs. "Mind if I take these?"
1118923:39:30: <Hippocratesi> "It is suspicious." Aeria whispers back, still not a skeleton because fuck that. "Should we continue to let them do it?"
1119023:39:41: <Rainglove> "... If I can get them back later."
1119123:40:05: <Goatwright> Waakanti approaches the the fairly human orb replacer! "Do they not fear your 'fleshiness' and 'organs'?"
1119223:40:21: <viejo> "What do you think I am, some sort of monster?" She laughs loudly before pulling off his two lowest ribs and using them against her ribcage as an instrument.
1119323:40:29: <Rainglove> roll perform
1119423:40:32: <viejo> 1d20-1
1119523:40:32: <BEIGE> Viejo: 5 (1d20-1=6)
1119623:40:34: <viejo> haha
1119723:41:05: <Hippocratesi> the ribs break
1119823:41:17: <Rainglove> qoja plays something that sounds vaguely like bohemian rhapsody but by a middle school violin player
1119923:41:29: <Benedict> "Stop playing any time."
1120023:41:34: <viejo> She walks about the area in a stomping manner while playing this tune.
1120123:41:44: <viejo> gtfo nurel she ain't with you goise
1120223:41:55: <Benedict> The terribleness can be heard.
1120323:41:59: <NachtRuine> (muh roll result?)
1120423:42:06: <Rainglove> you get nuffink
1120523:42:27: <NachtRuine> damn
1120623:42:28: <Rainglove> waakanti also got a 16
1120723:42:31: <viejo> 1d20+13 any skellies with particular good bone structure?
1120823:42:31: <BEIGE> Viejo: any skellies with particular good bone structure?: 23 (1d20+13=10)
1120923:42:38: <viejo> particularly*
1121023:43:07: <Benedict> 1d20+8 What the fug else is there around this spooky camp
1121123:43:08: <BEIGE> Benedict: What the fug else is there around this spooky camp: 25 (1d20+8=17)
1121223:43:29: <Rainglove> Waakanti the guy shakes his head at you. "Maybe, but I give them strength, so they put up with me."
1121323:43:40: <Rainglove> they're skeletons qoja
1121423:43:48: <Goatwright> "Who are you?"
1121523:43:53: <Rainglove> they all look more or less the same, except those who are obviously from larger or smaller races
1121623:43:53: <viejo> Are you saying skeletons can't be QTs?
1121723:43:59: <Goatwright> "And why do you do this?"
1121823:44:46: <viejo> She goes up to a random group and makes conversation. "Sooo do you guys do this often? These skeleton parties..."
1121923:44:50: <Hippocratesi> Are any of the lady skeletons wearing lipstick?
1122023:45:33: <Benedict> Seems to be nothing around this place. What a shitty festival ground. Nurel wanted to bob for apples or carve pumpkins.
1122123:46:15: <Goatwright> No need to get your tibia in a twist, Nurel.
1122223:46:59: <Benedict> Go gnaw on a BONE-r, Waak.
1122323:47:00: <Rainglove> nah hippo. Mostly either just bare skeletons or a few limited fashion accessories. Clothes tend to just be a pain when they rot off your body.
1122423:47:13: <Goatwright> What's wrong? Didn't you find that humerus?
1122523:47:23: <Rainglove> we're done
1122623:47:29: <Rainglove> time for vidya
1122723:47:32: <Goatwright> :^)
1122823:47:42: <viejo> b-but this scenario is alrite
1122923:47:48: <Rainglove> the puns
1123023:48:00: <viejo> At least I can take this seriously.
1123123:48:07: <Goatwright> Quit being such a bonehead, Rain.
1123223:48:17: <Rainglove> ;-;
1123323:48:44: <Hippocratesi> I 'UNNO WHAT ELSE TO DO
1123423:48:57: <Hippocratesi> I WANNA SMITE BUT I CAN'T SMITE, YA KNOW WHAT I MEAN?
1123523:49:04: <Rainglove> waakanti, "I'm just a traveling priest. They needed somewhere to go, and I'm trying to give it to them. It's been... quite the trip. I expect it'll last a while longer."
1123623:49:38: <Goatwright> 1d20+7 Sense Motive, I HIGHLY DOUBT THAT'S TRULY THE CASE
1123723:49:38: <BEIGE> Goatwright: Sense Motive, I HIGHLY DOUBT THAT'S TRULY THE CASE: 9 (1d20+7=2)
1123823:49:41: <Goatwright> wow
1123923:49:42: <Goatwright> fug
1124023:49:46: <Rainglove> literally jesus
1124123:49:48: <Goatwright> Is he selling me these orbs?
1124223:50:27: <Benedict> Let's just detect all the evil we can, Aeria.
1124323:50:50: <Hippocratesi> Yes
1124423:50:51: <Hippocratesi> you and me
1124523:50:56: <Hippocratesi> the paladin dream team
1124623:51:17: <Hippocratesi> Perhaps we could detect evil on
1124723:51:18: <Hippocratesi> the DRIVER
1124823:51:26: <Rainglove> Aeria one of the more inebriated skeletons comes up and sort of flops against you. "s'it true what they say 'bout you fleshy types? I heard you got all sorts of curves n' shit. Harrel tells me you just pack a bunch a' clothes up against yer bones to look bigger but I think e's crazy..."
1124923:51:28: <Rainglove> he continues rabling
1125023:51:30: <Goatwright> he channels negative energy
1125123:51:31: <Rainglove> rambling
1125223:51:35: <Goatwright> he's probably somewhat evil
1125323:52:23: <NachtRuine> Suddenly Saav is a person here!
1125423:52:54: <viejo> rainsain pls respond
1125523:52:58: <Rainglove> HRK
1125623:53:20: <Goatwright> "A traveling priest who rides in a flaming chariot and refuses to come out til nightfall?"
1125723:54:01: <Rainglove> Qoja, one of the skeletons nods. "Yeah, every few months when the moon's right. Real nice to get together. You new here?"
1125823:54:42: <Hippocratesi> Aeria shudders at the undead's touch. "Wel yes we- I mean-" She looks to King Nurel for help. 2spookydrunkenskeltals.
1125923:54:56: <Goatwright> Aeria.
1126023:55:01: <Goatwright> He wants you to get on Mr. Bone's Wild Ride.
1126123:55:01: <Rainglove> Waakanti the man looks slightly pained. "The fire makes it more... visible. It's perfectly practical. And I may not be entirely human."
1126223:55:07: <Goatwright> ;^)
1126323:55:12: <Hippocratesi> :^[
1126423:55:24: <Benedict> Nurel pokes the skeleton hugging Aeria and points off the crowd of skeleton. "Look at the bones on... that lady. Looks like she is calling you over."
1126523:55:31: <viejo> "I've been in this town for a few months now really, SO little happens. This is a nice change. Where do you travel about to?"
1126623:55:54: <Goatwright> "So what are you, then?"
1126723:55:54: <Rainglove> "Y
1126823:55:56: <Rainglove> hrk
1126923:57:02: <NachtRuine> Saav materializes next to Waakanti.
1127023:57:17: <Rainglove> "y'think so?" the skeleton peers off in sort of the same direction nurel pointed. "Naaaaah, she's wearing some other guy's humerus. She's taken man. But there's plenty of girls out here, gotta be one of them'd be into a little guy like you, eh?"
1127123:57:57: <Goatwright> Is Saav a skeltal?
1127223:58:21: <Hippocratesi> "How is it that you're, um...drunk?"
1127323:58:44: <NachtRuine> God no. That would be so embarrasing. Imagine Saav as a skeleton. A very spooky image.
1127423:58:53: <Goatwright> Then Waakanti SHOOS SAAV AWAYU.
1127523:58:58: <Rainglove> Qoja, "We're heading off into the mountains next, heard there's some others sort of like us up there, hopefully they're alright."
1127623:59:12: <Goatwright> HE'S TRYING TO BE INCOGNITO, FAGET.
1127723:59:12: <Benedict> "I am not interested in searching for a woman, an- Wow. Wow. She is just... she is making the eyeholes, you know what I mean? I think she'd rather have your... humerus."
1127823:59:20: <NachtRuine> oh right
1127923:59:46: <NachtRuine> because he's a - right. Well then, he simply wanders the carnival. Examining it for any possibly arcane ulterior motives.
1128023:59:53: <viejo> "What if they're hostile though? Or do they react differently to the er, undead?"
11281
11282 2014-11-01
11283
11284
1128500:00:37: <viejo> "I mean, a lot of undead I've come across just want to gnaw on my face."
1128600:01:11: <Rainglove> Waakanti, "I'm a sort of lesser undead if that... really concerns you. Why?"
1128700:02:21: <Rainglove> Nurel the skeleton is not persuaded. "Are you tryn'a get my head knocked off? I'm not goin' after that."
1128800:05:36: <Goatwright> "To be perfectly honest, I have reason to be interested in the powers you possess, for various reasons. The most pressing one is one I'm willing to make an exchange for, if necessary."
1128900:05:43: <Benedict> Plan B. "You would get your head knocked off anyway. The one you're currently hugging has my humerus. Take the hint."
1129000:07:14: <Rainglove> Nurel the skeleton suddenly seems rather apologetic. "Should've just said you'd got a bone in her man, calm down." He tries and slightly succeeds at not flopping all over aeria anymore, but remains there. "So what's a bunch of fleshies doin' here?"
1129100:07:44: <Rainglove> Waakanti: "What sort of powers? I may not be able to help you."
1129200:08:20: <Goatwright> "I suppose it depends on the extent of your power. How much control do you have over the dead?"
1129300:08:53: <Rainglove> Qoja: "Well, we dunno, is the thing. We're pretty hard to kill permanently, so we should be alright. Some of them are pretty bad."
1129400:09:48: <Hippocratesi> "A bone in- What?!" Aeria pushes the drunken skeleton away.
1129500:09:56: <viejo> "Do you still feel pain? Hope these questions aren't too dumb, I just... didn't know about you guys until today."
1129600:09:59: <Rainglove> Waakanti: "Plenty over the corporeal kind, though I generally don't exercise it. Why?"
1129700:11:08: <Rainglove> The skeleton flops over in the other direction. he sort of half collapses. You hear a faint "Goddamn w-" before his jaw goes sliding away from his skull. After a few seconds his arm starts crawling across the ground, attempting to reassemble himself.
1129800:11:34: <NachtRuine> Saav hears a small commotion, that being Aeria and Nurel and collapsed skeleton. He approaches. "I see you all have remained as you are."
1129900:11:53: <Rainglove> Qoja: "Nah, not really pain. Discomforting at the most."
1130000:12:13: <viejo> "That's good at least. How long have you been this way? All skeletonised."
1130100:12:34: <Benedict> Nurel decides to help Mr. Skeletal reassemble himself.
1130200:12:46: <Rainglove> "... A few years? I'm not really sure. I've been with this group for oh... a year or so."
1130300:13:34: <Rainglove> Nurel roll heal
1130400:14:16: <NachtRuine> A leg bone rolls towards Saav, who picks it up and places it closer to the bag of bones.
1130500:14:32: <BEIGE> Benedict: Let's think positive!: 20 (1d20=20)
1130600:14:32: <Benedict> 1d20 Let's think positive!
1130700:15:00: <viejo> "How long does it go on for? I mean, who's the oldest here?"
1130800:15:03: <Hippocratesi> Aeria grabs another one of the stray bones. "I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to do that!" Where the fuck does this go oh god
1130900:15:21: <Rainglove> Nurel you temporarily become a surgeon
1131000:15:30: <Rainglove> the skeleton is reassembled in seconds
1131100:15:39: <NachtRuine> Saav would've lent a hand with healing, but goddamn Nurel.
1131200:15:48: <Goatwright> He rubs his chin. "None over the incorporeal kind, or those who've passed one?"
1131300:16:26: <Benedict> Nurel's positive thinking opens the doors to many roads. Today's road was reassembling skeletons.
1131400:16:50: <Rainglove> Waakanti: "Afraid not, or at least not much. I can contact them, but not much besides that."
1131500:17:06: <Goatwright> He can contact them! "That may be enough."
1131600:17:20: <Goatwright> "I need to reach a particular individual who passed recently."
1131700:17:22: <NachtRuine> "What have you two made of this carnival thus far?"
1131800:17:54: <Benedict> "This is a carnival? So far I've just had this skeleton up against our diplomat. Are you okay now, skeleton? Did I put everything where it should be?"
1131900:17:56: <Rainglove> The skeleton laughs as his jaw is put back in place. "Been a while since that's happened! You got a hell of a shoving arm, lady."
1132000:18:13: <Hippocratesi> "Um, thank you. So you're alright?"
1132100:18:34: <Rainglove> "Fine, fine. Shorty here knows his stuff."
1132200:19:12: <Rainglove> Qoja: "Um... Probably the driver. Other than that I'm not sure. I don't think anyone's been undead for more than a couple years."
1132300:19:45: <Rainglove> Waakanti: "I'd need more specifics, if you have them. Did you know this individual?"
1132400:19:49: <NachtRuine> "It appears to be as mirthful as a carnival, thus I figured it to be so."
1132500:20:02: <Benedict> "Sometimes knowledge just comes to me. I honestly know nothing about bones and resetting them. I just... think positive. And that's all you need to do to find yourself a lady skeleton, Mr. Skeleton."
1132600:20:13: <viejo> "Huh. So this is a recent thing then? It wasn't caused by the ol' magic apocalypse was it?"
1132700:20:19: <viejo> Can I roll knowledge of any sorts in this regard?
1132800:20:33: <Benedict> Remember to think positive as you make the roll.
1132900:22:08: <Rainglove> Mr. Skeleton is inspired. "You've got a point." He picks himself up and dusts off his pelvis. "Well, you fleshies have a fine evening. Pleasure meeting you all." He gives aeria what seems to be the closest thing a skeleton can make to a wink, then walks off.
1133000:22:17: <Goatwright> Waakanti says the half-elf's name because god knows I don't remember. "He was put under a quest to gather information about me and my partners, and subsequently killed by a separate party who wanted that information. He was a guard who worked for us and our town."
1133100:22:49: <Benedict> "If we are lucky, no one will ask about my humerus and you, Aeria."
1133200:23:00: <Goatwright> "He has some potentially helpful information about the individual who put him under the quest. My magic is limited, and I was only able to get two brief and cryptic responses."
1133300:23:00: <NachtRuine> "I presume I missed a good amount."
1133400:23:16: <Rainglove> Qoja: "Honestly, no idea. I don't remember anything huge. I just woke up in a desert. After that it was just a lot of walking. Pretty much everyone had it happen that way, 'cept the ones who wandered into towns or something."
1133500:23:35: <Benedict> "Apparently if a male skeleton gives his humerus to a female skeleton that means those two are together. To get that skeleton off of Aeria, I needed to tell him that Aeria has my humerus."
1133600:23:39: <Rainglove> Waakanti: "How'd he die?"
1133700:23:58: <Goatwright> "He was murdered by an outsider."
1133800:24:46: <viejo> "Huh. That's real interesting. When I'm reduced to a skeleton I'll come find you lot for sure! So where is your leader?"
1133900:25:05: <Hippocratesi> Aeria gives a polite smile and immediately turns back to Nurel and Saav. "Er, what he said. Thank you...Nurel."
1134000:25:38: <Rainglove> Skeleman points towards where waakanti and the other dude are
1134100:25:55: <NachtRuine> "How humorous." Saav obviously doesn't catch the wordplay. "So have you noticed any possible indications as to the purpose of this carnival?"
1134200:26:20: <Rainglove> Waakanti: "Well... I'm not very good with those who died violent deaths. They tend to be rather loud."
1134300:26:35: <Benedict> "I still do not like the look of the giant skeleton they are making, but that thought vanished for a bit with the... Aeria situation. Also, I understood your joke."
1134400:27:00: <viejo> "Alright well, thanks for all the info, have a good night!" She smiles a skeleton smile. Then she goes stomping off playing that awful tune.
1134500:27:22: <viejo> Takataka... takataka! Tak tak tak tak TAK. TAK. Takakakaka
1134600:27:34: <Goatwright> Waakanti frowns. "He was a good guard. I'm sure he'll cooperate."
1134700:27:44: <Goatwright> "And I'm willing to pay for whatever troubles it causes."
1134800:28:01: <Rainglove> qoja parts the undead sea almost as if she were moses
1134900:28:02: <NachtRuine> "My what?" He disregards the joke thing. "Yes, I noticed the big one. Somewhat disconcerting. But perhaps they simply wish to socialize."
1135000:28:18: <viejo> :(
1135100:28:38: <Rainglove> The half-constructed giant skeleton takes a wobbly step, then two, and then half falls apart again. There's distant laughter.
1135200:29:10: <Benedict> "The... The joke. Humerus, like the bone, and it said the same as humorous, as in funny." Nurel just... stops. "Yes, we need to learn what that is for. Unless it's some strange skeleton mating ritual."
1135300:29:32: <Benedict> Bones fall, skeletons laugh. And Nurel, for a moment, laughs as well.
1135400:29:46: <Hippocratesi> "This 'carnival' does seem to be mostly harmless. I'm still not so sure though."
1135500:30:03: <NachtRuine> "I, uh, I don't believe skeletons can mate. They don't exactly have the means for it."
1135600:30:04: <viejo> Qoja uses the scattered bones as an opportunity to fish for different ones, perhaps they play a better tune?
1135700:30:06: <viejo> 1d20-1
1135800:30:06: <BEIGE> Viejo: 9 (1d20-1=10)
1135900:30:12: <Rainglove> slightly
1136000:30:23: <Rainglove> qoja now sounds like a seventh grader
1136100:30:56: <Rainglove> Waakanti: "Well the issue is actually getting them to talk, not anything else. They're... rather flighty. If you want me to try I can, but he probably won't have much to say."
1136200:31:37: <Goatwright> "I would appreciate it."
1136300:31:42: <viejo> Can Qoja entertain the crowd by juggling bones?
1136400:31:48: <viejo> 1d20+4 dex pls
1136500:31:48: <BEIGE> Viejo: dex pls: 8 (1d20+4=4)
1136600:31:52: <Benedict> "I know they can't, but there is still that whole... humerus thing. Maybe they combine their humerus in that big skeleton. All are one. I don't know."
1136700:31:53: <viejo> fuck these rolls
1136800:32:09: <Benedict> Gods, what is that awful music?
1136900:32:47: <NachtRuine> Saav writes the music off as simply the incapability of skeletons to produce proper music. That and the fact that bones do not a good instrument make. "Perhaps we never will know."
1137000:33:12: <Benedict> "We could try joining the crowd and asking."
1137100:33:40: <NachtRuine> "What do you mean by 'join them'?"
1137200:33:49: <Rainglove> Qoja throws bones everywhere
1137300:33:58: <viejo> "Urgh."
1137400:34:04: <viejo> who wants fun, right Beige?
1137500:34:11: <Rainglove> Waakanti: "Do you want to do this /now/, or can it perhaps wait?"
1137600:34:58: <viejo> Can she attempt to craft stilts out of the bones?
1137700:35:08: <Benedict> "Walking up and talking. I do not intend to become a skeleton."
1137800:35:12: <Rainglove> y-you can try
1137900:35:20: <viejo> 1d20+2 HRK
1138000:35:20: <BEIGE> Viejo: HRK: 17 (1d20+2=15)
1138100:35:26: <Rainglove> passable stilts
1138200:35:34: <Rainglove> they won't kill you
1138300:35:44: <viejo> She walks about in bone-stilts while playing the mediocre tune.
1138400:35:46: <Goatwright> Waakanti shakes his head. "It can wait. Do please come to me when you are free. And thank you."
1138500:35:51: <NachtRuine> "Nor I. I do not know the lasting effects, nor if they have compulsions to them."
1138600:36:07: <Benedict> Wow, that is a tall skeleton. "That is a giant skeleton." Nurel points to Qoja."
1138700:36:12: <Benedict> Remove that quote*
1138800:36:16: <Rainglove> In the distance a stilt-walking, ribcage-playing skeleton that looks vaguely like qonana appears
1138900:36:26: <Rainglove> The man nods
1139000:36:47: <NachtRuine> Saav looks to it. "It appears vaguely familiar. But it is not of my concern. Shall we find out the purpose of the construction?"
1139100:37:01: <Hippocratesi> "That...may be Qoja?"
1139200:37:18: <Benedict> "Well, we'll let her have her fun, but I am still curious of the giant skeleton."
1139300:38:34: <viejo> "Oh... Hi." She doesn't seem embarrassed so much as disappointed.
1139400:39:53: <Benedict> "What's wrong?"
1139500:40:10: <NachtRuine> "What are you doing?"
1139600:40:20: <viejo> "Oh, nothing, not a thing. What're you guys up to? Found out any good info?"
1139700:40:36: <viejo> "Havin' fun."
1139800:41:26: <NachtRuine> "I only have an inkling that this carnival... Has no ulterior motive. I believe our last lead is the giant skeleton they are attempting to create."
1139900:42:03: <Benedict> "They are just enjoying themselves. Guess they only have fun on full and new moons. Are you having fun, Qoja?"
1140000:42:29: <viejo> "Yeah, it's a good atmosphere. Definitely joining this lot when I bite the dust."
1140100:43:49: <NachtRuine> "I would personally rather that things that lie at rest remain so. But to each their own, I regrettably suppose."
1140200:44:27: <viejo> "They're not really /at rest/ though. I know what you mean though. Oh well, they seem like a good bunch."
1140300:45:08: <NachtRuine> "There are worse choices for hosts."
1140400:45:09: <Benedict> "I do not wish to join them when it is my time, and I hope you all are able to read whatever instructions I give you for how to deal with my body."
1140500:45:49: <viejo> "Alright Nurel, as long as it's not weird."
1140600:46:06: <Benedict> "Nothing weird." At least not weird for goblin culture.
1140700:48:37: <Benedict> "Should we leave them be or would you like to continue having fun with them? Also, was that you making the music? It was awful."
1140800:49:28: <viejo> "What music? No idea what you're talking about..." She winks.
1140900:49:38: <viejo> "Oh, right, winking doesn't work. Yeah it was me." She laughs.
1141000:50:57: <NachtRuine> "I do not have much fun at carnivals. I'd rather be with a small group than mingle among a large one."
1141100:52:34: <Benedict> "I do not understand the point of carnivals, so I have no enjoyment here."
1141200:52:43: <Benedict> Nurel is going home.
1141300:52:48: <viejo> "... Yay. I'm off."
1141400:52:49: <Goatwright> What a buzzkill.
1141500:52:55: <viejo> Qoja goes back to the carnival and festivities.
1141600:52:58: <Goatwright> Waakanti continues to mingle and ENJOY HIMSELF.
1141700:53:05: <viejo> Taka taka... tak tak... Tak Tak? TAK. TAKTAK.
1141800:53:05: <Goatwright> And wait for that priest guy.
1141900:54:48: <Rainglove> Qoja gains +1 perform (Bone xylophone)
1142000:54:50: <Rainglove> she's still awful

1142200:55:01: <BEIGE> Viejo: HEEEARGH: 6 (1d20=6)
1142300:55:26: <NachtRuine> Despite not enjoying the carnival, Saav can't bring himself to leave. He finds a good vantage point to watch the giant skeleton, though. Just to make sure.
1142400:56:53: <Benedict> Nurel is the happiest when alone.
1142500:57:26: <Rainglove> back to sixth grader level qoja
1142600:57:31: <Rainglove> gawd
1142700:57:45: <viejo> Alone in the Dark: Starring Nurel
1142800:57:51: <viejo> Rubbing his hands together in the closet.
1142900:57:59: <Benedict> 1d20+3 Nurel thinks positive and makes some music in his bedroom. So happy. So alone.
1143000:57:59: <BEIGE> Benedict: Nurel thinks positive and makes some music in his bedroom. So happy. So alone.: 14 (1d20+3=11)
1143100:59:08: <Rainglove> Waakanti, your priest shows up after a few minutes carrying a small book with him. "Right, you wanted to talk to..." He flips through the book, plops it down, and starts incanting. After a few seconds of this, a shadowy blob appears in the air between you and him.
1143200:59:25: <Rainglove> Every now and again there's a second or two of unintelligible screaming
1143301:00:26: <Goatwright> Whelp.
1143401:00:58: <Rainglove> The priest waves at you. "What'd y-" screaming continues. "Want to ask him?"
1143501:01:35: <Goatwright> Can one cast spells on ghosts?
1143601:01:58: <Rainglove> you can certainly try
1143701:02:30: <Goatwright> Waakanti certainly tries to cast Calm Emotions on this shrieking phantom.
1143801:02:33: <Goatwright> r-r-r-roll the Will
1143901:02:52: <Goatwright> Actually wait
1144001:02:53: <Goatwright> Before I do
1144101:03:11: <Goatwright> I use Evil Eye on it to lower its saves by 2 and then cast Calm Emotions
1144201:03:44: <BEIGE> Rainglove: well okay: 21 (1d20+5=16)
1144301:03:44: <Rainglove> 1d20+5 well okay
1144401:03:51: <Goatwright> man fuckin
1144501:03:52: <Goatwright> really
1144601:03:59: <Goatwright> beige you sack of ass
1144701:04:20: <Rainglove> [SCREAMING INTENSIFIES]
1144801:04:36: <Goatwright> "I, um, I tried." Waakanti gives a half-hearted shrug.
1144901:04:47: <Goatwright> "I wanted to ask him about the man who put the quest on him."
1145001:06:22: <Rainglove> The man shrugs. "Know anything else about him?"
1145101:11:52: <Goatwright> "He wore red."
1145201:15:19: <Rainglove> "That doesn't help much." The shadowy thing fades away.
1145301:15:29: <Rainglove> "What happened that made you want to talk to that guy?"
1145401:16:01: <Goatwright> fug x10
1145501:17:08: <Goatwright> "The information he was made to gather was valuable enough that a group of outsiders sent an infiltrator in to kill him and escape with the info."
1145601:17:38: <Goatwright> "I want to know what the connection is, and why somebody is curious enough about us to put one of our guards under a spell to investigate us."
1145701:18:55: <Rainglove> "Hm..." He looks around. "I can't say I know, but I'll keep an ear open. Not everyone who comes to me has forgotten everything."
1145801:19:34: <Benedict> Nurel rubs his hands as he thinks of qt goblin girls that he's too nervous to talk to.
1145901:20:18: <Goatwright> "Alright. Thank you again for the information, and good luck with the dwarves. And watch out for the outsiders around the area. They're affiliated with the one that attacked us."
1146001:21:21: <Rainglove> "I'll be careful. Thank you for allowing us to remain here for the night." And with that, he wanders off back to his spiral orb thing

1146502:07:39: <Rainglove> THE TOWN IS ACTUALLY NOT CURRENTLY IN A STATE OF PANIC FOR ONCE. Everything's fairly normal. People wandering about doing people things, you all sitting around doing... whatever you do. Not a whole lot, lately.
1146602:09:02: <Goatwright> Waakanti enjoys his not doing things.
1146702:09:20: <Benedict> 1d20+7 Nurel spends some time trying to build targets for himself so he can really test out this rifle that he hasn't had much use for in the POLITICAL FIELDS.
1146802:09:20: <Dados> Benedict, Nurel spends some time trying to build targets for himself so he can really test out this rifle that he hasn't had much use for in the POLITICAL FIELDS.: 16 [1d20=9]
1146902:09:29: <NachtRuine> Saavou is probably either arbitrating or reading, depending on the time of day.
1147002:09:42: <Hippocratesi> Aeria is praying in her room. What a bad habit.
1147102:09:49: <Rainglove> "praying"
1147202:09:57: <Benedict> "room"
1147302:10:03: <NachtRuine> "Aeria"
1147402:10:03: <Hippocratesi> "bad"
1147502:11:07: <Rainglove> Things've been very, very quiet lately, though some concerning rumors have reached you. You divine types have been getting faint whiffs of EEEEEVIL recently. Nothing as specific as a location or even people, but faint trails of it.
1147602:11:28: <Hippocratesi> EVIL?
1147702:11:44: <Rainglove> you've also heard that people's undead problems down south have been worsening, though you haven't been contacted by that Strix, so he presumably has a handle on things
1147802:11:55: <Rainglove> EVIL
1147902:12:21: <Goatwright> Waakanti is more concerned about the latter.
1148002:12:29: <Goatwright> UNRESTED UNDEAD. Heeby-jeebies.
1148102:13:43: <Benedict> Nurel thinks that evil is horrible, so he relaxes. By shooting targets.
1148202:13:53: <Benedict> 1d20+12 Let's shoot targets.
1148302:13:54: <Dados> Benedict, Let's shoot targets.: 26 [1d20=14]
1148402:15:06: <Rainglove> What you /do/ have is a recent report of some sort of necromantic hooblah happening in the town. Not the nice "normal" sort waakanti does, the rawr zambies kind. You also happen to have a general idea of where he is, somewhere in the residential district of the town.
1148502:17:11: <Rainglove> if you wanted to get this show on the road, that would be the place to go
1148602:17:18: <NachtRuine> Saav gon inquisit - I mean investigate that shit. Rawr zambies are against the law.
1148702:18:15: <Hippocratesi> Aeria finishes her CONVERSING and goes to find this necromancer. Justice must be dealt.
1148802:18:18: <Hippocratesi> Also smiting is fun.
1148902:18:55: <Benedict> Nurel can be found outside of the town hall shooting targets if anyone wants to drag him along.
1149002:19:00: <Benedict> 1d20+12 Bang.
1149102:19:00: <Dados> Benedict, Bang.: 13 [1d20=1]
1149202:19:29: <Rainglove> nurel and his goddamn misfires
1149302:19:42: <Rainglove> still working the bugs out of that new rifle
1149402:19:44: <Benedict> Only one time, thankfully it is an advanced firearm.
1149502:19:49: <Benedict> No explosions here.
1149602:19:58: <NachtRuine> Saav probly gonna drag Nurel into this. Just in case things go bad.
1149702:20:20: <Goatwright> Waakanti heads over there as well.
1149802:20:29: <Hippocratesi> She finds Nurel shootin' things. "Nurel, We're off to find this necromancer. It'd be best if you came as well."
1149902:20:48: <Goatwright> As head priest and bar-setting-necromantic-activity-er, this is all very important to him.
1150002:20:56: <Benedict> And Nurel is a Gunslinger. He quickly clears and fixes up his rifle at lightning speed, then silently joins the walking group once he's invited.
1150102:20:58: <Goatwright> It is actually in his job description to deal with this sorta shit.
1150202:21:19: <Rainglove> Saav the inquisivestigator, the town's a busy place. The streets aren't packed, but they're fairly busy with people wanderin' aboot doin' thangs. The stench of EVIL is sort of kind of there. Not amazingly strong, but there.
1150302:22:36: <NachtRuine> He follows this stench. It's probably a good lead to find this necromancer.
1150402:23:01: <Benedict> Nurel uses his DETECT EVIL to find his way through.
1150502:23:12: <Benedict> AKA sniff sniff and follow the evil that burns the nose.
1150602:23:31: <Hippocratesi> Aeria detects the evil as well. Where it be, GM?
1150702:26:16: <Rainglove> It's faint, but it's there. You eventually come to a house (who would have guessed), and you can practically feel the evil leaking out the door.
1150802:27:06: <NachtRuine> Saav looks to the others. "Shall we be polite, or rude?"
1150902:27:13: <Goatwright> Suddenly Waakanti is with them.
1151002:27:38: <Goatwright> He does not look happy with this NECROMANCY on his watch, but he's learned some MANNERS since town life.
1151102:27:42: <Goatwright> So he knocks.
1151202:27:45: <Goatwright> But he knocks sternly.
1151302:27:52: <Hippocratesi> Aeria was gonna kick the door down but fine.
1151402:28:00: <Rainglove> don't nobody answer.
1151502:28:08: <Goatwright> Waakanti looks to her.
1151602:28:10: <Goatwright> YOU CAN KICK.
1151702:28:25: <Hippocratesi> "As if he'd answer." Aeria raises her foot and attempts to kick in the door.
1151802:28:30: <Rainglove> ssssstrength check
1151902:28:30: <Hippocratesi> Do I need to roll for that or
1152002:28:34: <Hippocratesi> oh lordy
1152102:28:48: <Benedict> Nurel makes a note to tell someone to replace the door.
1152202:28:55: <Hippocratesi> 1d20+3 this is not gonna work
1152302:28:55: <Dados> Hippocratesi, this is not gonna work: 14 [1d20=11]
1152402:29:15: <Rainglove> Aeria's foot goes through the door, and it mostly goes in half, though it doesn't explode.
1152502:29:21: <Rainglove> Also, rrrrreflex saves, from everyone.

1154502:31:22: <Hippocratesi> AH MUH FIRE
1154602:31:26: <Goatwright> (he doesn't really)
1154702:31:35: <Rainglove> The front of the building also partially dissolves.
1154802:31:39: <Rainglove> But the door is gone!
1154902:32:20: <Goatwright> After recovering from the pain, Waakanti quickly starts casting Create Water to douse any residual fire.
1155002:32:38: <Hippocratesi> "I...guess that was foolish of me."
1155102:32:41: <Benedict> Nurel gets a face full of fire and rolls around and wow, the BIG GUY (4you) and little guy (4you) get all the pain. Nurel then makes sure Waak is okay with a cast of Lay on Hands.
1155202:32:44: <Dados> Benedict, 2d6: 5 [2d6=1,4]
1155302:32:44: <Benedict> 2d6
1155402:32:50: <Benedict> Worst god.
1155502:33:05: <Goatwright> Waakanti returns the favor with a use of Fervor on Nurel.
1155602:33:11: <Dados> Goatwright, 2d6: 7 [2d6=2,5]
1155702:33:11: <Goatwright> 2d6
1155802:33:15: <Hippocratesi> 2d6 muh lay on honds
1155902:33:16: <Dados> Hippocratesi, muh lay on honds: 5 [2d6=2,3]

1156202:33:19: <Hippocratesi> 2d6 muh lay on honds
1156302:33:22: <Hippocratesi> wonderful stuff
1156402:33:36: <Rainglove> Waakanti soaks some random civilians, most of whom were unharmed by the BANG. A couple seem a little dazed, but for the most part alright. The inside of the house seems unnaturally dark for the time of day it is.
1156502:33:54: <Benedict> "I wish I could do more, but Ulinazi is not very... responsive today."
1156602:34:12: <NachtRuine> Saav has the power of channeling positive energy thanks to Abadar. Who needs heals?
1156702:34:16: <Goatwright> Waakanti casts Light on his hammer and holds it up like a torch, toward the unnatural darkness.
1156802:34:19: <Goatwright> GIMME MORE HEALS.
1156902:34:29: <Benedict> "Aeria, take front. I'll watch the rear."
1157002:34:39: <NachtRuine> 3d6 CHANNEL ENERGY FOR THE GIANT
1157102:34:39: <Dados> NachtRuine, CHANNEL ENERGY FOR THE GIANT: 14 [3d6=4,4,6]
1157202:34:43: <Hippocratesi> "Very well." Aeria TAKES FRONT!
1157302:34:43: <Benedict> Not your rear, though, Aeria. Sorry.
1157402:34:53: <Hippocratesi> :(
1157502:35:29: <Benedict> "Nikli, behind Aeria. Saav, behind Nikli."
1157602:35:33: <Benedict> INTO THE SPOOKY HOUSE.
1157702:36:23: <Goatwright> Waakanti will ponder Aeria's rear with confusion, though, don't worry.
1157802:36:30: <Goatwright> Also, he takes his place behind her.
1157902:36:40: <NachtRuine> "Of course." Saav casts Light upon a crossbow bolt of his and holds it up.
1158002:37:02: <Hippocratesi> I gots me own light, ehehehe.
1158102:37:03: <Rainglove> SPOOOOOOKY. Shit's dark. You can see about five feet on either side of you, but the inside of the house seems unnaturally large. Nothing makes itself immediately visible to you as you enter, but noises are audible in the distance.
1158202:37:43: <Benedict> Nurel has darkvision. Does he fair better?
1158302:37:46: <Hippocratesi> "What puzzles me is how he managed to do all this."
1158402:38:34: <Goatwright> "Perhaps he did not work alone."
1158502:39:04: <Hippocratesi> "That is a possibility."
1158602:39:06: <Rainglove> Nurel can see ten feet. Still nothing definite, but you get the occasional glimpse of things moving on the edges of your vision. Everyone else just sees dark.
1158702:39:19: <Hippocratesi> I got muh darkvision too
1158802:39:23: <Hippocratesi> :(
1158902:39:37: <NachtRuine> "Illusions may also be culprit, so keep your senses sharp."
1159002:39:44: <Benedict> "I'm seeing things. Moving things. I'm going to hope that we just need to condemn this house because of a rat infestation."
1159102:40:06: <Rainglove> well then aeria sees it too goddamn
1159202:40:11: <Hippocratesi> :)
1159302:40:23: <Goatwright> "[Who is here?]," Waakanti calls out in NECRIL.
1159402:40:33: <Benedict> What a disgusting language.
1159502:40:44: <Rainglove> it's pretty gross
1159602:40:51: <Goatwright> It's whispering
1159702:40:53: <Goatwright> and shit
1159802:45:53: <Rainglove> Nothing responds. It continues to be dark. You eventually wander into a wall, after walking for what feels like several minutes, which shouldn't be possible in a house this size.
1159902:46:12: <Benedict> This is a haunted house.
1160002:47:12: <NachtRuine> Saav casts Sift to figure out what the fuck.

1160502:48:04: <Goatwright> YesD
1160602:48:08: <Goatwright> Waakanti detects magic.
1160702:48:12: <Goatwright> HE ALWAYS DETECTS MAGIC.
1160802:48:21: <NachtRuine> 1d20+8 (i guess ill also spellcraft while im at it)
1160902:48:21: <Rainglove> SHIT'S MAGIC. SPELLCRAFT PLEASE>

1161702:48:47: <Goatwright> man
1161802:49:00: <Benedict> Rain, could I try to use my positive thinking?
1161902:49:10: <Goatwright> you can't even detect magic
1162002:49:12: <Rainglove> Aeria comes through for you! Deeper darkness, the spell. As for the interior of the house, no idea.
1162102:49:21: <Benedict> POSITIVE
1162202:49:22: <Benedict> THINKING
1162302:49:24: <Rainglove> NO
1162402:49:32: <Rainglove> Everything is evil nurel
1162502:49:43: <Benedict> Everything?
1162602:49:44: <Rainglove> there is a good amount of it in multiple directions
1162702:50:21: <Hippocratesi> "This darkness is a sort of spell. As for how this house has impossible dimensions, I don't know."
1162802:50:28: <Goatwright> Waakanti tries for a Dispel Magic!
1162902:51:24: <Rainglove> caster level check
1163002:51:32: <Goatwright> Before he does though he casts Fortune on himself because I know I'm going to BLOW THE FUCKING ROLL, AGAIN
1163102:51:43: <Goatwright> and by cast I mean, y'know, class ability and all
1163202:51:50: <Goatwright> 1d20+5 FUG

1163602:51:59: <Rainglove> pfffft
1163702:52:06: <Goatwright> I'm mad
1163802:52:21: <Rainglove> Waakanti's hands fart
1163902:52:22: <Rainglove> loudly
1164002:52:23: <Benedict> You should have tried positive thinking.
1164102:52:24: <Goatwright> this is bullshit I don't EVEN WANT TO PLAY ANYMORE
1164202:52:27: <Rainglove> also nothing else happens
1164302:52:43: <Benedict> "Wasn't me." Nurel shifts the blame to someone else immediately.
1164402:53:11: <NachtRuine> "This is indeed a predicament."
1164502:53:24: <Hippocratesi> "...Right, well." Aeria LOOKS ABOUT SOME MORE SHE HOPES SHE DOESN'T SMELL ANYTHING
1164602:54:08: <Goatwright> Waakanti also looks.
1164702:54:08: <Benedict> Aeria smells failure and Italian dishes from Waak.
1164802:54:12: <Goatwright> God this is dumb. :[
1164902:54:52: <NachtRuine> "Perhaps we should advance in the only direction we can. If this house is as impossible as we expect, I do not expect we will return where we came from, but rather somewhere else."
1165002:56:18: <Hippocratesi> Aeria starts to walk along the walls, trying to feel for anything. Perhaps a DOOR or SOMETHING.
1165102:56:25: <Benedict> Nurel lowers his rifle and taps it along the floor like a blind man with a cane to help guide himself.
1165202:56:40: <Goatwright> Waakanti uses his hammer of LIGHT to guide his way.
1165302:56:48: <Goatwright> And he keeps calling out in Necril.
1165402:56:49: <NachtRuine> Saav gives a kick at the dead end before he follows the rest of the group, a sign of his dislike towards illusions.
1165502:56:53: <Rainglove> Aeria, reflex save
1165602:57:00: <NachtRuine> A light one. Just to send a message.
1165702:57:16: <Benedict> Calm down, nigga. Shit son. Relax.
1165802:57:28: <Hippocratesi> 1d20+4 OH GOD OH MAN
1165902:57:29: <Dados> Hippocratesi, OH GOD OH MAN: 16 [1d20=12]
1166002:57:38: <Goatwright> HE SAID RELAX NIGGA
1166102:57:48: <Hippocratesi> OH GOD OH JEEZ
1166202:57:50: <Hippocratesi> OH FUCK
1166302:58:08: <Rainglove> You feel your foot slip over a hole and you /almost/ fall in. Almost. But you don't.
1166402:58:18: <Rainglove> You can't see the bottom from where you are, but a ladder leads downwards.
1166502:58:49: <Hippocratesi> I wonder what would've happened if she fell. Oh well. "I've found something!"
1166602:59:22: <NachtRuine> Saav looks at this hole. "My suspicions are validated, it seems."
1166703:00:51: <NachtRuine> "Nowhere to go but down."
1166803:01:39: <Hippocratesi> "I suppose I'll go down first." Aeria starts down the fucking ladder since NO ONE ELSE IS GONNA SAY ANYTHING
1166903:01:46: <Goatwright> Waakanti heads over and, strapping his light source to his back, followers down after Aeria.
1167003:01:51: <Goatwright> -er
1167103:02:15: <NachtRuine> Once more than one person is on the ladder, Saav follows.
1167203:02:27: <Benedict> Nurel is the last to go down.
1167303:04:06: <Rainglove> Nothing eventful happens on the way down, but you feel the air cool. It's goddamn freezing down here. As you progress downward, the supernatural darkness lifts. You eventually hit the bottom in what seems to be a magically created cave, torches lining the path leading further into the cave.
1167403:05:23: <Hippocratesi> Aeria hops off the ladder and looks down this magical cave. "I think this is much worse than we thought."
1167503:05:32: <Benedict> "This isn't going to help our town any."
1167603:05:54: <Goatwright> Waakanti frowns. "I agree. This is a problem."
1167703:05:59: <Goatwright> "I am ashamed I let it happen."
1167803:07:01: <Benedict> "None of us knew about it, there is no need to shoulder the blame, Nikli."
1167903:07:05: <Hippocratesi> "/How/ did it happen?"
1168003:07:41: <Goatwright> "They likely hid the magic."
1168103:08:03: <Goatwright> Waakanti heads on down the cave cautiously, throwing up continuous casts of Detect Magic.
1168203:09:55: <Rainglove> You sense sporadic enchantments on the walls, though what exactly they are you have no idea. Protection from good seems to be thrown into the mix, though there seems to be some modified dimensional anchor as well as a few other things you just don't know.
1168303:11:05: <Rainglove> As you proceed further downward, the cave begins to widen until it's almost 30 feet across, though it's always about 10 feet high. You spot what appears to be a cavern in the distance, and you see movement.
1168403:12:07: <Hippocratesi> "This is far more than just the four of us can handle, I fear."
1168503:12:38: <Benedict> "You know I am not gifted with knowing magic. What is going on?"
1168603:13:33: <Goatwright> "They are binding outsiders, and intentionally attempting to keep good out."
1168703:13:48: <Goatwright> Waakanti spots the movement and calls out! "Who's there?"
1168803:14:22: <Benedict> "Binding outsiders. Like that cult we dealt with in the North? Think one of them survived and moved here?"
1168903:15:26: <Goatwright> "Perhaps. You know how things work out between us and evil outsiders."
1169003:15:49: <Benedict> "Evil tends to ruin my day."
1169103:15:55: <Rainglove> You catch what seem to be a pair of eyes turn towards you in the distance waakanti, but they fade away fairly quickly. Seems to be several somethings over there.
1169203:16:22: <Benedict> "I put five gold down on "that is not good"."
1169303:16:44: <Hippocratesi> "Nikli. Why did you do that?"
1169403:17:13: <NachtRuine> "No one's gonna bet against you on that one, Nurel." Saav takes out his crossbow juuust in case.
1169503:17:13: <Goatwright> "We don't have an element of surprise, anyway. I see no harm."
1169603:18:12: <Rainglove> are you still getting closer or
1169703:18:27: <Goatwright> Aeria should probably take the lead before we do.
1169803:19:04: <Hippocratesi> Aeria exhales and draws her sword. "Stay behind me." She goes forth.
1169903:19:06: <Hippocratesi> Time to die,
1170003:19:24: <Goatwright> Waakanti follows!
1170103:19:30: <Benedict> Nurel is watching that rear. Not your rear, Aeria.
1170203:19:55: <Goatwright> I'd watch your rear, Aerial.
1170303:20:50: <Rainglove> Aeria, that room ahead is fuggen /huge/. Seems to be a caver, several hundred feet across and a couple stories high. Stone catwalks crisscross the room. The eyes that you saw earlier belong to a small group of unintelligent undead, maybe 20 or so, walking past the doorway you've just come through. They ignore you.
1170403:21:45: <Goatwright> Does Waakanti know enough about muh necro to know that likely means their boss isn't currently aboot?
1170503:21:45: <Rainglove> The rest of the room /seems/ to be empty, though in a space that large it's hard to say whether there's nobody there or if you're just too far. There are spaces on the catwalks you can't see, and several smaller obstacles block your vision into even nearby corners.
1170603:21:57: <Rainglove> Roll K arcana
1170703:22:09: <Goatwright> 1d20+2 sigh
1170803:22:10: <Dados> Goatwright, sigh: 13 [1d20=11]
1170903:22:13: <NachtRuine> 1d20+5 i am of the smart
1171003:22:13: <Dados> NachtRuine, i am of the smart: 18 [1d20=13]
1171103:22:45: <Hippocratesi> "There's undead here. Looks to be about 20 of them, though they don't seem to be alarmed by our presence."
1171203:23:13: <Hippocratesi> "And this cavern is far bigger than any I've ever seen."
1171303:23:17: <Rainglove> Saav comes through, having learned at least something about necromancy through cath'paaz. The undead ignoring you so thoroughly likely means that they're on their way somewhere, rather than just milling about aimlessly. They've probably got some objective.
1171403:23:48: <NachtRuine> "They do not amble. They work to some end. But what end?"
1171503:24:19: <Goatwright> "Perhaps we should follow them and find out."
1171603:24:39: <Rainglove> The undead don't seem to care either way what you do.
1171703:24:56: <Hippocratesi> "Maybe they'll lead us to the source of all this." G-Guess we're following undead.
1171803:25:01: <Benedict> "We should not be so obvious, though." Nurel decides that it is time to stealth.
1171903:25:08: <Benedict> 1d20+18 Watch me get a low roll.
1172003:25:08: <Dados> Benedict, Watch me get a low roll.: 22 [1d20=4]
1172103:25:31: <Hippocratesi> it was indeed low
1172203:25:43: <Goatwright> but not low enough to mattah, it seems
1172303:25:46: <Rainglove> nurel is decently hidden
1172403:26:12: <Goatwright> Since Waakanti is huge and cannot into stealth, he instead spends his time carefully investigating the room.
1172503:26:30: <Rainglove> so yer splitting up or
1172603:26:37: <Rainglove> just asking for clarification's sake
1172703:26:45: <Hippocratesi> i don't think Nurel going alone would be
1172803:26:46: <Hippocratesi> smart
1172903:26:50: <Benedict> Nurel is just keeping himself in the shadows just in case.
1173003:26:53: <Goatwright> I think Saav can stealth
1173103:26:54: <Hippocratesi> though no one else has much stealth
1173203:26:55: <Hippocratesi> oh
1173303:26:57: <Benedict> He is a Master of Shadows.
1173403:27:05: <Rainglove> fuck off styx
1173503:27:13: <NachtRuine> He indeed can, but you know what they say about splitting up, gang.
1173603:27:26: <Hippocratesi> i-i mean we might as well still follow them
1173703:27:42: <Goatwright> Then we still follow!
1173803:28:27: <Benedict> Styx wishes he could stealth like Nurel.
1173903:29:48: <Rainglove> Nurel remains semi-hidden. The group of undead journey deeper into the cavern, and as you proceed you see more undead coming from various other tunnels. The group slowly swells to the size of a few hundred, though they mostly seem to be ignoring you. You notice that most of them are carrying small magical artifacts, one or two per group.
1174003:31:10: <Goatwright> Can I try to identify the items?
1174103:31:16: <Rainglove> spellcraaaaaaft
1174203:31:27: <Goatwright> 1d20+5 oh boy more rolling
1174303:31:27: <Dados> Goatwright, oh boy more rolling: 16 [1d20=11]
1174403:31:32: <Hippocratesi> "Perhaps this has been going on since before you all came here?"
1174503:32:06: <NachtRuine> 1d20+8 yay
1174603:32:06: <Dados> NachtRuine, yay: 20 [1d20=12]
1174703:32:09: <Benedict> "And we don't realize it for the six months we live here?" Nurel asks. From where? THE SHADOWS.
1174803:33:01: <Rainglove> Waakanti and saav, you can identify conjuration magic, though anything beyond that you don't know.
1174903:35:00: <Rainglove> Eventually, as you come over a rise in the cavern floor, a small sea of undead becomes visible, a black pillar rising from the middle. You see several larger figures among the undead, clearly not human. Some of them observe the pillar, while others seem to be directing construction. Still others are directing undead down tunnels away from the obelisk.
1175003:35:19: <Rainglove> You've probably come at least a couple miles by now, you're definitely beyond novit's walls.
1175103:35:57: <Goatwright> Waakanti looks to the K (Religion) pros. "Do you know what those creatures are?" He points at the large figures.
1175203:36:22: <Dados> Hippocratesi, well i dunno if religion'll do it but y'know i'll try: 17 [1d20=11]
1175303:36:22: <Hippocratesi> 1d20+6 well i dunno if religion'll do it but y'know i'll try
1175403:36:23: <Dados> NachtRuine, HRRRRM: 19 [1d20=11]
1175503:36:23: <NachtRuine> 1d20+8 HRRRRM
1175603:37:29: <Rainglove> What exactly you can't place, but they seem very reminiscent of fiends. Devils of some kind.
1175703:38:06: <Benedict> Oh, wait, shit, religion time?
1175803:38:11: <Dados> Benedict, Time to roll low.: 23 [1d20=16]
1175903:38:11: <Benedict> 1d20+7 Time to roll low.
1176003:38:17: <Rainglove> the same
1176103:39:00: <Hippocratesi> "They're devils. Fiends. /Exactly/ what, I'm not certain."
1176203:39:30: <Goatwright> Waakanti frowns. How far does the mass go?
1176303:39:50: <NachtRuine> "There is no way we can deal with this crowd. Not with just us."
1176403:39:54: <Benedict> Nurel should have brought snacks.
1176503:40:02: <Benedict> Nurel just wanted to shoot his rifle at targets.
1176603:40:07: <Rainglove> you'd guess there's at least several hundred undead. Best estimate is just under a thousand.
1176703:40:19: <Benedict> We can take 'em.
1176803:40:29: <Hippocratesi> "Even with our soldiers, could we take these beasts? They outnumber us by the hundreds."
1176903:40:41: <Hippocratesi> "Novit is in grave danger."
1177003:40:48: <Goatwright> "Not just Novit."
1177103:41:02: <Hippocratesi> The WHOLE WORD.
1177203:41:11: <Hippocratesi> [terrifying music intensifies]
1177303:41:18: <NachtRuine> so basically novit
1177403:41:19: <Hippocratesi> WORLD
1177503:41:24: <Rainglove> basically
1177603:41:32: <Hippocratesi> yea, pretty much
1177703:42:21: <NachtRuine> Saav looks at the pillar. Can he perhaps surmise its purpose from here?
1177803:42:32: <Rainglove> Somewhere around the base of the pillar, lava bubbles up from the earth, drowning the undead in that area. One of the larger fiends spreads a pair of massive wings and flies over it, blasting out a channel around the obelisk, whatever it is.
1177903:42:44: <Benedict> Novit is the world. "How did something like this get by us..."
1178003:42:56: <Hippocratesi> "Right under our noses."
1178103:43:01: <Rainglove> Given the rocks you saw being brought in, and that the pillar seems to be built from those rocks, you'd guess it's something involving summoning.
1178203:43:16: <Rainglove> what, exactly, you don't really know. more fiends?
1178303:44:30: <NachtRuine> "They're summoning. We can't let them do this."
1178403:45:13: <Hippocratesi> "And how do you suppose we stop them?"
1178503:46:01: <NachtRuine> "I... I don't know. I need to know. We need to know."
1178603:47:15: <Hippocratesi> "There is nothing we can do here, this is far beyond stopping. We need to...we need to evacuate, get the citizens to safety- SOMETHING."
1178703:49:16: <NachtRuine> "There's no place that would take this many people, much less be able to support them."
1178803:49:43: <Goatsmith> "Or travel this far."
1178903:49:45: <Benedict> "How do we evacuate the town without causing a panic and without causing whatever spies they have in town from releasing their present early?" Nurel is not fit for this type of king shit.
1179003:50:10: <Hippocratesi> "I don't know...I don't know." Aeria puts a hand to her head.
1179103:50:57: <Goatsmith> Waakanti takes a deep breath.
1179203:51:08: <Benedict> "If we... got time, we could ask caravans coming in to take some people back to their town. We'll even pay them, but needs to be done at night, perhaps? I think my word is strong enough to get all the goblins out and back to that goblin village, but that is only one small group of people."
1179303:51:26: <Goatsmith> He then takes a few steps back, sits down, and looks at the heads on his hammer.
1179403:51:52: <NachtRuine> Saav shakes his head. "Sitting here despairing does no one any good. We will have to leave, if we cannot do anything." He looks over the scene one last time, for details that would help him be able to research what the fuck.
1179503:52:08: <Goatsmith> "Do any of you have magic available that boosts knowledge?"
1179603:52:52: <Rainglove> Saav, you do notice a lot of tunnels leading off the cavern. Some of them seem to be roughly the same size as the one you came in through.
1179703:53:29: <Rainglove> As for what devils like that would be doing here, well, the massive undead army gives you a pretty good idea of their plans. Specifics, not so much.
1179803:55:42: <NachtRuine> He looks to Waakanti. "I can give you my touch of law. I am uncertain how helpful that would be to you. It depends on your skill."
1179903:59:12: <Goatsmith> Waakanti nods. "Anything that can help."
1180003:59:30: <NachtRuine> Saav obliges. Touch of Law!
1180104:00:29: <Goatsmith> Waakanti casts ancestral communion, and his eyes roll back into his head as he starts communing in necril and giantish to unseen figures.
1180204:01:09: <Rainglove> Nurel, you catch a glimpse of one of the fiends looking your way. They pretty clearly know you're there, and apparently now they know you know. Something starts picking uncomfortably at your mind.
1180304:01:22: <Goatsmith> And then I spend a hero point. 27 planes roll HNNNGH.
1180404:01:37: <Hippocratesi> A-All of our minds or?
1180504:01:41: <Rainglove> just nurel
1180604:03:03: <Rainglove> Waakanti, one of your ancestors knew a guy who had a cousin who went to the infernal plane once. There were these giant fuggen obsidian palaces there, all on fire and shit, pretty rad. That's where the pit fiends lived, the guys who command demonic armies when they move to establish footholds on new planes.
1180704:03:48: <Rainglove> They're also rather finicky fellows. Like to have everything looking absolutely perfect. If whatever structure that is doesn't meet up to exact specifications, odds are the guy it's for isn't going to want it.
1180804:03:54: <Benedict> Ah, shit. How did it spot me and my SHADOWS? Nurel scratches his head at the spot that feels like it's being picked at.
1180904:05:00: <Rainglove> Actually doing damage to whatever it is might prove difficult, as it's probably protected by magic and whatever those fiends down there are. But you don't need to do much damage for a more or less omnipotent being to notice it.
1181004:05:28: <Goatsmith> Waakanti thinks. Are they still working on it?
1181104:05:49: <Rainglove> It's the center of all the activity in the cavern
1181204:06:41: <Benedict> Ahh, that's what's bothering Nurel. That thing looking at him. "Bad news or terrible news first?"
1181304:07:35: <NachtRuine> Saav looks to Nurel. Well, where Nurel's voice cometh from. "Either, just spit it out."
1181404:07:42: <Goatsmith> "Pit fiends. Demonic armies of plane invasion."
1181504:08:03: <Hippocratesi> "That's...not good at all."
1181604:08:05: <Benedict> "Something is picking at my mind. What's picking at my mind is looking directly at me. Hint: It's the demons we're looking at, and if they see me..."
1181704:08:26: <Goatsmith> "We need to ruin that obelisk."
1181804:08:41: <NachtRuine> "They know." Dread would be too light a word to describe Saav's tone.
1181904:09:27: <Benedict> "Why him? Why not the angel with the butt?" thinks Nurel. Yeah, try to answer that, you fucking demon.
1182004:09:58: <Hippocratesi> "We can't get /near/ it, Nikli. And it's only a matter of time before they find the rest of us spying on them."
1182104:10:23: <Rainglove> It's probably not actually in your head nurel. You know what that feels like. This seems like more of an attempt at intimidation.
1182204:10:26: <Goatsmith> "I have an idea."
1182304:10:48: <Goatsmith> "But I need to get out of sight."
1182404:11:11: <NachtRuine> "There's nothing we can do right now. We should head back, bang heads together."
1182504:11:59: <Hippocratesi> "Saav's right. We need to leave."
1182604:12:37: <Goatsmith> Waakanti shakes his head. "We can't let this happen. Leaving will only ensure it happens."
1182704:13:22: <Goatsmith> He moves far back enough into the cavern so that the devils can't see him. These undead ARE mindless, roight?
1182804:13:37: <Rainglove> yes, but the devils certainly aren't
1182904:14:04: <Goatsmith> Can he move far back enough to be out of sight of them?
1183004:14:21: <Rainglove> yes
1183104:14:43: <NachtRuine> "I do not mean permanently. Just long enough to know what in the gods' name we need to do."
1183204:15:11: <Goatsmith> Waakanti gives him a quieting glance, then gestures for them to come back out of sight as well.
1183304:16:04: <Benedict> "If Nikli wishes, I could try to help him blend in with the shadows." AKA an assist roll to give you a bonus.
1183404:16:49: <Hippocratesi> Aeria steps back to where Waakanti is. "What exactly is your plan?"
1183504:25:24: <Goatsmith> "We need a corpse."
1183604:25:58: <Goatsmith> "I'm going to plant a stone that will stop the summoning, and with any luck, be too difficult to detect."
1183704:28:46: <Goatsmith> HELP WAAKANTI FIND A CORPSE NIGGAS
1183804:28:47: <NachtRuine> "If it's too difficult to detect, how could it stop the summoning?"
1183904:29:09: <Goatsmith> "Because they will not notice, but what they're summoning will."
1184004:30:35: <NachtRuine> "I will trust your knowledge."
1184104:30:52: <NachtRuine> 1d20+13 where the fuck a corpse at
1184204:30:52: <Dados> NachtRuine, where the fuck a corpse at: 17 [1d20=4]
1184304:31:05: <Benedict> 1d20+8 Look for spare corpses.
1184404:31:05: <Dados> Benedict, Look for spare corpses.: 28 [1d20=20]
1184504:31:11: <Benedict> THINKING POSITIVE.
1184604:31:26: <Hippocratesi> 1d20+7 oh we're doing things now
1184704:31:26: <Dados> Hippocratesi, oh we're doing things now: 23 [1d20=16]
1184804:31:31: <Rainglove> An undead falls off a crossbeam above you and lands right at nurel's feet
1184904:31:34: <Rainglove> "thump
1185004:31:40: <Benedict> "Found a corpse."
1185104:31:42: <Rainglove> all unlife leaves it
1185204:32:16: <Goatsmith> Waakanti goes over to it and casts ANIMATE CORPSE.
1185304:32:39: <Rainglove> HRRRRRRK
1185404:32:41: <Rainglove> It stands up
1185504:33:28: <Benedict> "Well, that's the... easy part, right? Or the hard part?"
1185604:34:18: <Goatsmith> He then casts Stone Shape on the wall, creating a proper piece of stone for the obelisk, but makes sure a huuuge air bubble forms inside the brick.
1185704:34:44: <Rainglove> well, there it is
1185804:35:06: <Goatsmith> After removing it from the wall, Waakanti gives it to the undead and commands it to add it to the obelisk.
1185904:35:26: <Rainglove> Off it goes, and you quickly lose sight of it amid the massive crowd of other zombies
1186004:35:52: <Goatsmith> Waakanti looks to his friends, frowning. "Now we hope."
1186104:36:11: <Hippocratesi> "Hope is a dangerous thing."
1186204:36:17: <Benedict> Nurel tries to look for it with the scope of his rifle. Does Nurel need to use more positive thinking?
1186304:36:29: <Benedict> "You're a paladin, don't say that."
1186404:36:57: <Hippocratesi> "You're right...I'm sorry. I'm just not in the best of moods."
1186504:37:08: <NachtRuine> "Let us leave. We have done what we can." Saav is quiet on the hope/despair thing.
1186604:37:49: <Rainglove> Nurel you really cannot pick out your zombie in a crowd of identical zombies
1186704:38:08: <Benedict> 1d20+8 Please think positive.
1186804:38:08: <Dados> Benedict, Please think positive.: 24 [1d20=16]
1186904:38:23: <Hippocratesi> "We should at least wait and see if it works."
1187004:38:46: <Benedict> "Trying to look for our... friend. Lucky for us one fell right in front of me."
1187104:38:48: <Rainglove> it's a fuggen zombie picked out for the express purpose of blending in with other zombies
1187204:38:59: <Benedict> HE'S ALSO CARRYING A HUGE STONE.
1187304:39:04: <Rainglove> THEY ALL ARE
1187404:39:08: <Goatsmith> They all are.
1187504:39:14: <Benedict> OUR STONE IS BETTER.
1187604:39:19: <Benedict> It was made with love and friendship.
1187704:39:29: <NachtRuine> "How can we see if it works? They all look the same."
1187804:39:33: <Benedict> "And I'm realizing the fu... futality? Futility? Of this."
1187904:40:14: <NachtRuine> "If Waakanti did it right, our zombie is indistinguishable from the others. And so far, it seems so."
1188004:40:26: <Goatsmith> "The only way we will know is whether or not it is summoned, but for now, we can consider alternatives in the event it does not."
1188104:40:50: <Goatsmith> "Come, let us take our leave before they make us."
1188204:41:12: <Benedict> "I just wanted to make sure. For now, I'd like to go back to the surface and find whatever number of clerics, paladins, or other casters that can cast protection are in town, and simply tell them to stop casting protection from evil on the people. As many as they can."
1188304:41:30: <Benedict> And so Nurel takes the rear once more, ready to shoot any zombies coming for the group.
1188404:41:48: <Hippocratesi> Aeria takes the lead once more, headin' out.
1188504:41:51: <Goatsmith> Waakanti starts headin' up.
1188604:42:06: <Rainglove> You make your exit unimpeded.
1188704:42:20: <Benedict> MAN, FUCK THIS CAVERN. FUCK THIS HAUNTED HOUSE.
1188804:42:24: <Rainglove> The house is still dark when you get up, but you manage to find the doorway without a terrible amount of trouble.
1188904:43:06: <NachtRuine> "Shall I have the building cordoned off?"
1189004:43:36: <Hippocratesi> "We should allow no one inside it- or near it."
1189104:43:52: <Benedict> "Condemn it. Get our clergy to throw holy water on it. Get our builders to destroy it. Just get it out of our town."
1189204:44:38: <Hippocratesi> "Maybe we could find information on who's house it is, or rather was."
1189304:45:31: <NachtRuine> "I... Don't think that's an option. But I will condemn the building, and make sure a guardsman is always posted in front of it."
1189404:48:01: <NachtRuine> "Giant, I would recommend getting your clergy to do what they can to protect the town from evil."
1189504:50:06: <Goatsmith> Waakanti nods, and he goes to talk to the CLERGY.
1189604:51:25: <Rainglove> Clergy be clergin'.
1189704:51:33: <Benedict> "I was rather hoping today would be relaxing."
1189804:52:17: <NachtRuine> "So long as the wicked do not relax, neither can we."
1189904:52:55: <Benedict> "Still can wish for an off day."
1190004:54:35: <Benedict> "I will be by my shooting gallery where you found me if I am needed." And so Nurel heads off to SHOOT SHIT because it's relaxing, nigga.
1190104:54:52: <Benedict> 1d20+12 Pop pop pop, watchin' muttafuggin' bottles drop.
1190204:54:55: <Dados> Benedict, Pop pop pop, watchin' muttafuggin' bottles drop.: 14 [1d20=2]
1190304:55:21: <Benedict> Haha, fuck you Dados, that isn't in the misfire range, you cunt.
1190404:58:28: <NachtRuine> Saav goes to try to arrange the city watch to be able to fend off an incoming invasion as well as they can.
1190504:58:31: <Goatsmith> I'm gunna get me some hirelings
1190604:58:50: <Benedict> Don't flat out say it, we don't need a panic.
1190704:59:02: <Benedict> 1d20+12 Please to be hitting with positive thinking.
1190804:59:03: <Dados> Benedict, Please to be hitting with positive thinking.: 28 [1d20=16]
1190904:59:51: <NachtRuine> Well of course not.
1191005:00:09: <NachtRuine> The inquisitor knows how to keep things secret.
1191105:00:47: <Hippocratesi> Will we tell everyone about the uh
1191205:00:49: <Hippocratesi> thing happening
1191305:01:04: <Benedict> Keep it a secret until it pops out of the ground like a birthday cake.
1191405:01:13: <Benedict> Then we can say "SURPRISE, WE MIGHT ALL DIE"
1191505:01:26: <Hippocratesi> I-I dunno man i-i think they should know
1191605:01:36: <Benedict> 1d20+12 Nah. Let's just shoot shit.
1191705:01:36: <Dados> Benedict, Nah. Let's just shoot shit.: 31 [1d20=19]
1191805:05:51: <Benedict> Shooting bottles sure is fun. Ringing in your ear is nice. Makes you forget the other ringing.
1191905:05:58: <Dados> Benedict, Relaxing.: 19 [1d20=7]
1192005:05:58: <Benedict> 1d20+12 Relaxing.
11921
11922 2014-11-06
11923
11924
1192522:48:37: <NachtRuine> "But back to a previous question, assuming the worst, is there anything you'd want to do before then?"
1192622:50:10: <viejo> "Oh, 'lawful' my ass. I've been around you guys long enough to have the definition of 'lawful' imprinted on my brain."
1192722:51:26: <viejo> "It's synonymous with 'no fun,'" She winks at them. "What would I like to do? Keep crackin' jokes. That's what. Suits me fine."
1192822:52:26: <Goatwright> "I suppose I'm the only one with a request."
1192922:54:06: <Benedict> "Well, let's go do what you want, then. Qoja, you want to fling insults at the outsiders on the mountain?"
1193022:54:15: <NachtRuine> "I have had fun before."
1193122:55:20: <viejo> Qoja tuts. "Didn't your mother tell you not to lie, Saavou?" She chuckles. "And sure, Nurel. I've got nothin' better to do, as per."
1193222:56:09: <Benedict> "Then let's take the cart. Nikli, if you don't mind?"
1193322:56:25: <Goatwright> "I do not."
1193422:56:34: <NachtRuine> Saav decides to just leave it at that.
1193522:58:13: <Hippocratesi> "So um...what is it we plan on saying to them?"
1193622:58:57: <Rainglove> Time and space do a little tango, and somebody hammers on the door to whatever room you're in.
1193722:59:44: <Goatwright> Gasp.
1193822:59:46: <Goatwright> The door is opened.
1193922:59:50: <Goatwright> Waakanti stares at whoever is outside.
1194023:00:18: <Hippocratesi> The outsider is outside.
1194123:00:40: <Rainglove> it's actually shia labeouf
1194223:00:44: <Rainglove> it is not shia labeouf
1194323:00:58: <Rainglove> but it could have been
1194423:01:05: <Goatwright> Actual Cannibal Shia LaBeouf?
1194523:01:06: <BEIGE> Viejo: is it?: 6 (1d20=6)
1194623:01:06: <viejo> 1d20 is it?
1194723:01:07: <Hippocratesi> actual cannibal shia labeouf should be our BBEG
1194823:03:09: <Rainglove> He looks kind of like him though, even though you have no idea who shia labeouf is. Some kinda magic dude. Also jesus christ he's not evil. Woah. He looks around through the open door. "Am I interrupting something?"
1194923:04:00: <viejo> They were playing The Rift: The Boardgame in one last attempt to have fun.
1195023:04:03: <viejo> It failed.
1195123:04:23: <Goatwright> "You are not. Can I help you?"
1195223:07:57: <Rainglove> "Well, I was planning on meeting with you a few weeks ago but I was delayed, unfortunately. I believe you met with a friend of mine who may have... slightly blown up one of your buildings."
1195323:08:15: <Benedict> Gods damn it.
1195423:08:39: <Goatwright> Waakanti stares daggers at the man.
1195523:08:41: <Hippocratesi> God dang
1195623:09:06: <Goatwright> In fact he stares so hard he accidentally casts Evil Eye on the man and lowers his AC by 2
1195723:09:08: <viejo> "Oh is that all? Well, no need to worry then, right? Right?" She laughs.
1195823:09:26: <Rainglove> goddamn waakanti put that away
1195923:09:31: <Goatwright> it was a joke
1196023:09:32: <Rainglove> that's embarrassing
1196123:09:35: <Goatwright> go0o0o0od
1196223:09:38: <NachtRuine> Part of Saav wants to reach for his crossbow, the rest wants to see where this conversation goes. "You may want to explain yourself."
1196323:09:49: <Hippocratesi> "A /friend/?"
1196423:10:01: <Goatwright> "And killed two of our guards."
1196523:13:42: <Rainglove> "He was a bit over-eager, and I apologize. I hadn't really intended for him to be such a problem, but things went rather far south very quickly. As for explanations, well... hmmm. What do you already know?"
1196623:14:20: <Goatwright> "Are you this 'man in red'?"
1196723:14:24: <Benedict> Nurel doesn't know as much as Waak and Saav. Let them do the talking.
1196823:15:26: <NachtRuine> "Why was information on us being collected?"
1196923:15:56: <viejo> 1d20+12 sense motive - I can be useful!
1197023:15:56: <BEIGE> Viejo: sense motive - I can be useful!: 29 (1d20+12=17)
1197123:17:49: <Rainglove> "I... maybe?" He wasn't expecting that question. "I've worn red from time to time, though it's not something I come across very often." To Saav: "I had sort of a hard time deciphering the notes honestly, but from what I saw there were plans for the town along with some pretty in-depth descriptions of each of you."
1197223:18:25: <viejo> Is red his favourite colour?
1197323:18:27: <viejo> IS IT?
1197423:19:03: <Hippocratesi> "Plans for the town?"
1197523:19:15: <Goatwright> He rephrases, then. "Did you place a quest on our guard?"
1197623:19:21: <Benedict> "In-depth descriptions of each of us?"
1197723:19:25: <Rainglove> no viejo, unfortunately
1197823:19:30: <Goatwright> you guys should DETECT EVIL
1197923:19:41: <NachtRuine> I detect ebil
1198023:19:42: <viejo> In all seriousness, what are his motives?
1198123:19:46: <Rainglove> he ain't ebil
1198223:19:49: <Goatwright> g0sp
1198323:19:57: <Benedict> Yeah, Rain already said this for us.
1198423:20:06: <NachtRuine> gotta make sure
1198523:21:24: <Goatwright> DETECT MAGIC
1198623:21:26: <Goatwright> JUST Y'KNOW
1198723:21:30: <Goatwright> IN CASE
1198823:21:45: <Rainglove> he seems genuinely apologetic qojuna matata. He strikes you as being sort of a less-than-lawful good. He doesn't seem at all hostile.
1198923:21:56: <Rainglove> he magic bruh
1199023:22:27: <viejo> "He... Seems alright in my books. So what the hell is going on?"
1199123:23:04: <Goatwright> "Why would you send an evil outsider, of all things?"
1199223:25:07: <Rainglove> "I was here because of that quest, actually. I've been trying to find someone, and I believe he's the one who put the quest on your friend." Back at nurel, "As I said, I had a hard time reading it, but it seemed like it described your abilities, generally. That you were all fairly... religious." BACK AT WAAKANTI. "I was otherwise occupied, and I didn't..."
1199323:25:30: <Rainglove> "Think he'd be nearly as aggressive as he was. I've since learned better."
1199423:25:48: <Rainglove> you can spellcraft to try to figure out more aboot his castan
1199523:25:53: <Rainglove> what sort of caster he be
1199623:26:01: <Goatwright> Ah. "So you are looking for the man in red, rather than being him."
1199723:26:08: <NachtRuine> 1d20+8 spellucraftu
1199823:26:08: <BEIGE> NachtRuine: spellucraftu: 14 (1d20+8=6)
1199923:26:11: <Goatwright> 1d20+5 hrk
1200023:26:11: <BEIGE> Goatwright: hrk: 8 (1d20+5=3)
1200123:26:15: <Goatwright> why do I even bother
1200223:26:21: <Benedict> Could I use positive thinking :^)
1200323:26:32: <Goatwright> you can't even tell he's magic you PALADIN
1200423:26:40: <Benedict> LET'S POSITIVE THINKING.
1200523:26:47: <Hippocratesi> 1d20+6 bruh
1200623:26:47: <BEIGE> Hippocratesi: bruh: 12 (1d20+6=6)
1200723:26:49: <Rainglove> sort of sorcerer-ish, but kinda different
1200823:26:55: <Rainglove> enh, probably doesn't matter
1200923:27:02: <Goatwright> So
1201023:27:03: <Goatwright> wizard?
1201123:27:16: <Goatwright> OH
1201223:27:16: <NachtRuine> "What do you know about them?"
1201323:27:50: <Benedict> "Learned better. Does that mean he isn't going to be a problem anymore? And would it be an okay request to see these forms? I want to know exactly what they learned about me."
1201423:29:30: <Rainglove> "He's a summoner of sorts, I believe. And I think he's still around here, though I'm not certain. But yes, I am trying to find him." He shuffles around in his pockets for a bit, then pulls out a sheaf of papers and hands them to nurel. "Good luck."
1201523:29:53: <Benedict> Oh boy, Nurel hopes he can READ THIS SHIT and if he can, know exactly what it says.
1201623:30:11: <Rainglove> some kind of code, nurel
1201723:30:15: <Rainglove> hope you got linguistics
1201823:30:42: <NachtRuine> Saav is also curious as to the papers' content.
1201923:30:51: <BEIGE> NachtRuine: huh: 24 (1d20+5=19)
1202023:30:51: <NachtRuine> 1d20+5 huh
1202123:30:55: <Rainglove> well
1202223:31:01: <Rainglove> fine then
1202323:31:03: <viejo> Saavou rewrites the code in a better format.
1202423:31:55: <Goatwright> "I have attempted to find information about him, but all that I've found is what he was wearing."
1202523:32:39: <Rainglove> Saav, it seems to be a general summary of the town, as well as a sort of threat analysis of your group. Defenses are detailed in it, and notes about the paladins and clerics in your party and town in general are noted. There also seem to be notations about where the residual magic from the BANG is particularly strong.
1202623:33:12: <NachtRuine> Who is the most threatening?
1202723:33:18: <Benedict> Nurel lets code man have the paper so he can tell the group about what it says.
1202823:33:28: <Rainglove> aeria and nurel specifically, being paladins
1202923:33:33: <Goatwright> Who is the weakest?
1203023:33:41: <viejo> Otto.
1203123:33:41: <Rainglove> tim the shoemaker
1203223:33:45: <viejo> haha
1203323:33:45: <Goatwright> poor Tim
1203423:33:50: <NachtRuine> Tiny Tim.
1203523:34:12: <viejo> Is he a peasant who rolled a 1 on health for his class and has a negative con modifier?
1203623:34:20: <Rainglove> yes
1203723:34:26: <NachtRuine> Saav gives a general overview of what is written. He goes into more detail reagrding notations on the residual magicks.
1203823:34:34: <Rainglove> if the town banker doesn't take pity on him he's likely to die of disease soon
1203923:34:53: <Rainglove> but old man scroob keeps a tight hold on his wallet
1204023:34:56: <Rainglove> ANYWAY
1204123:35:56: <Benedict> "Anything about our... backgrounds. Past. History. Things like that? I want to know how much they know."
1204223:36:29: <Rainglove> At waakanti: "I'm afraid I don't know much about him either. He has a propensity for summoning demons and outsiders like my friend you met a while back. I've been following him for a while, but he's been in this area for an unusually long time. Assuming he hasn't been misleading me."
1204323:37:05: <Benedict> "...Summoning demons? Like... pit fiends?"
1204423:37:06: <Goatwright> Waakanti pauses.
1204523:37:14: <Goatwright> They had the same thought!
1204623:37:27: <Goatwright> "Does he have necromantic magic available to him as well?"
1204723:37:56: <Rainglove> "I don't think he's nearly that insane, but I wouldn't put it past him. Have you been having... problems? With the armies of hell?"
1204823:38:09: <Rainglove> "And yes, he dabbles in various schools."
1204923:38:21: <Benedict> "We got demons and undead below our town attempting to summon a pit fiend to destroy us all." Blunt and to the point.
1205023:38:22: <Hippocratesi> "Yes...'problems'."
1205123:38:51: <viejo> Tim the shoemaker is constantly on the verge of death
1205223:38:57: <viejo> a particularly strong cough will knock him out
1205323:39:00: <viejo> please make this a character
1205423:39:05: <Goatwright> it's my next PC
1205523:39:10: <NachtRuine> "They are likely going to invade not only this town, but others, as well."
1205623:39:14: <viejo> Gestalt - Peasant/peasant
1205723:41:57: <Rainglove> He seems rather taken aback. "Where are they, exactly?"
1205823:42:35: <Benedict> "Go into the condemned house, find a hole, climb down, follow the cavern, you'll spot them. Thousands of them."
1205923:43:00: <Hippocratesi> "Don't actually go, of course."
1206023:43:58: <viejo> "I haven't er, seen it for myself but, these lot don't muck about, I can tell you that."
1206123:45:23: <Rainglove> "... Right. I may be going there anyway. What makes you mention pit fiends?"
1206223:45:50: <Goatwright> "I could recognize the obelisk they were using to summon one."
1206323:46:00: <Goatwright> "And the devils aiding in its construction."
12064
12065 2014-11-07
12066
12067
1206821:52:00: <Benedict> Novit gonna die, muthafucka.
1206921:53:03: <Hippocratesi> if nacht ever gets here
1207022:12:55: <Rainglove> it's been two days, have you fags done anything besides sit on your asses?
1207122:13:13: <Rainglove> moved people, fortified, anything like that
1207222:13:22: <Hippocratesi> Nah.
1207322:13:57: <NachtRuine> Saav has set up a guard detail by the house, and prepared an evacuation route away from the house.
1207422:14:02: <Goatwright> Waakanti's been talking to the clergy about setting up wards around the town.
1207522:14:20: <Goatwright> and the house
1207622:14:44: <Benedict> Nurel has tried to get the goblins in town to run back to Goblin town. If the Wise Woman was there, he shared his alchemical recipes to help the town survive. If not, then just shared it with whatever "leader" was there.
1207722:14:58: <Rainglove> what sort of wards bruh
1207822:15:07: <viejo> 1d20 charisma for today?
1207922:15:07: <BEIGE> Viejo: charisma for today?: 1 (1d20=1)
1208022:15:17: <Rainglove> starting off on a high note
1208122:15:26: <viejo> I think the rolls for hitting-on-Aeria charisma have all been 5 or less. About four rolls.
1208222:15:37: <Benedict> No, one of them was a 6.
1208322:15:42: <Hippocratesi> Gwyn got his tribe out of there and far awy. Himself included. :^]
1208422:15:44: <viejo> Ah, yes, thank you Benny.
1208522:15:59: <Benedict> Please to be surviving, goblins.
1208622:16:25: <viejo> Qoja has been meditating.
1208722:16:39: <Rainglove> Nurel got most of the goblins out of there. A few stayed behind, either because they had shit they wanted to do or just didn't care about the warnings they were gonna get blown up.
1208822:16:47: <Rainglove> But for the most part they gone
1208922:16:50: <NachtRuine> 1d20 accidental daily charisma
1209022:16:50: <BEIGE> NachtRuine: accidental daily charisma: 14 (1d20=14)
1209122:16:54: <Hippocratesi> Aeria is WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU THINK, wondering if it even helps anymore.
1209222:17:01: <Goatwright> probably mostly sustained protection against evil, probably consecrates, spells what would repel undead
1209322:17:06: <Goatwright> I know the latter exist but I can't think of their names
1209422:18:15: <NachtRuine> Saav's also sent a small party to the northern town with a message to the leader letting him know of possible incoming refugees.
1209522:18:46: <Benedict> Nurel hopes his waifu survived. He goes into the town hall for one last meeting.
1209622:20:18: <Hippocratesi> Aeria finishes and goes to the main hall as well. She sees the goblin and greets him. "Nurel."
1209722:20:24: <Benedict> "Aeria."
1209822:20:57: <Goatwright> Waakanti goes too then. MEETINGS.
1209922:21:00: <NachtRuine> Saav is summoned to the main hall.
1210022:21:11: <Rainglove> ah, friendship
1210122:21:16: <viejo> Ditto for the Qoja-gonna-blow-ya.
1210222:21:16: <Goatwright> the friendening
1210322:21:49: <Benedict> "Most of the people have been evacuated?"
1210422:22:02: <Rainglove> Did anyone actually
1210522:22:04: <Rainglove> commit time to that
1210622:22:16: <Hippocratesi> Well when you think about it
1210722:22:18: <Hippocratesi> what IS time?
1210822:22:20: <viejo> Considering most of them are good, you would think so.
1210922:22:23: <Benedict> Pretty sure Saav was doing shit for that.
1211022:22:23: <viejo> Two days later, hippo.
1211122:22:43: <Rainglove> awrite
1211222:22:50: <Benedict> And of course, Nurel focused on his people.
1211322:22:55: <NachtRuine> selfish
1211422:23:05: <Rainglove> what a dick
1211522:23:10: <NachtRuine> "As many as I can justify."
1211622:24:35: <Benedict> "I did not expect everyone to leave. Even a few goblins remained behind, but we did what we can. For this last meeting of Novit's council, I am stepping down as king, but put in a final request that the council also disband. I would like to focus on this "man in red" that seems to be summoning this pit fiend."
1211722:25:01: <Benedict> "And as a final word, if I should die, I want it to be known that it was an honor to work beside all of you."
1211822:25:53: <Hippocratesi> "Likewise. I am glad to have met all of you."
1211922:26:12: <Rainglove> Wwwwwill saves
1212022:26:19: <NachtRuine> Saav nods. "As it was for you all."
1212122:26:25: <Hippocratesi> WUT
1212222:26:33: <NachtRuine> 1d20+9 oshit
1212322:26:33: <BEIGE> NachtRuine: oshit: 16 (1d20+9=7)
1212422:26:33: <Hippocratesi> wait really?
1212522:26:41: <Benedict> 1d20+8 Cannot even let us have a peaceful moment, you fucking pit field.
1212622:26:41: <BEIGE> Benedict: Cannot even let us have a peaceful moment, you fucking pit field.: 26 (1d20+8=18)
1212722:26:43: <viejo> "Yeah." Blunt and simple.
1212822:26:52: <Hippocratesi> 1d20+6 I'M A PALADIN, SILLY WILL SAVES
1212922:26:52: <BEIGE> Hippocratesi: I'M A PALADIN, SILLY WILL SAVES: 22 (1d20+6=16)
1213022:26:59: <viejo> 1d20+7 1 again pls
1213122:26:59: <BEIGE> Viejo: 1 again pls: 8 (1d20+7=1)
1213222:27:05: <Hippocratesi> hahahahahaha
1213322:27:15: <Rainglove> is good day to be qoja
1213422:27:19: <viejo> I literally asked for it.
1213522:27:19: <Goatwright> 1d20+8 POSITIVE THINKING
1213622:27:19: <BEIGE> Goatwright: POSITIVE THINKING: 19 (1d20+8=11)
1213722:27:25: <viejo> Qoja insta-gibbed.
1213822:28:14: <viejo> Guess he failed his will save. :^)
1213922:28:17: <Rainglove> no u
1214022:28:23: <Goatwright> kek
1214122:28:33: <Hippocratesi> ruh roh
1214222:28:37: <Benedict> Guess the council ain't getting disbanded now.
1214322:28:51: <Goatwright> Waakanti nods in AGREEMENT, by the way.
1214422:29:55: <Rainglove> Saav and qoja, any magical effects affecting you are dispelled. Errybody else, you feel a greater dispel go rippling across the town.
1214522:30:36: <Rainglove> Qoja probably remains oblivious
1214622:30:37: <Benedict> "Either the mage house did one last test, or its time."
1214722:30:42: <Rainglove> being neither affected by buffs nor magical
1214822:30:56: <viejo> Qoja's eyes blink out of time of one another, but otherwise she is silent.
1214922:31:17: <Hippocratesi> "It's...I think it's time. We've failed."
1215022:31:41: <viejo> Qoja laughs abruptly. "What d'ya mean? That was abrupt. Doom and gloom."
1215122:31:59: <Benedict> "We got most people out, and we're still breathing. No failure yet." Nurel loads his rifle and heads on out the town hall.
1215222:32:28: <viejo> Qoja is otherwise unknowing of any dispelling.
1215322:32:44: <NachtRuine> "I'll let you know when we've failed." Saav unholsters his crossbow. He felt that dispel, and is worried by it.
1215422:32:54: <Goatwright> "All magic in town was dispelled," he lets Qoja know.
1215522:33:07: <Goatwright> And then Waakanti is OFF TO FIND HIS CLERGY. WHERE YOU AT, CLERGY? TIME TUH WORK.
1215622:33:14: <viejo> Whatever smile had been there fades. "... Oh. Oh right."
1215722:33:41: <viejo> "[I'll protect you Madam Aeria.]" she says quietly and seriously.
1215822:34:24: <Rainglove> The streets are very empty. You paladinish types, EEEEVILLLLLLL, in the direction of the house you went into the other day.
1215922:34:59: <Rainglove> Waakanti, you locate the few remaining clerics. Just two of them, and the mortician you talked to a while back, after that guard got murdered.
1216022:35:05: <Benedict> There's always evil there. "Saav, grab whatever soldiers remain in town, we need them organized."
1216122:35:31: <Hippocratesi> Aeria gives one last smile to Qoja. "[All will be well, Qoja.]" She exits, sword in hand, and meets up with the others.
1216222:36:04: <Goatwright> Rad. "I trust you felt the dispel sweep through the town. I need help setting the wards again, if you're feeling brave enough."
1216322:37:07: <NachtRuine> "On it." He runs outside and gets as many guardsmen as he can. There should already be some guards by the house.
1216422:37:42: <Rainglove> They seem just a wee bit jittery. The mortician speaks. "We'll get to it. Anywhere specific you want us to cover?"
1216522:38:57: <Rainglove> Saav, you do locate them. A couple zombie heads have been staked outside the house. At least a few of the soldiers felt the wave. They stand as Saav approaches.
1216622:39:51: <Goatwright> "Start with the residential area. Get the houses of anybody still left in town. Once you're done, meet with us back at the house. And expect a fight."
1216722:40:38: <Rainglove> The clerics depart.
1216822:42:44: <NachtRuine> "Men. It's happening. Your main objective is to get the rest of the civilians out of the town, not to fight. If you must fight, fight, but fight alongside your brothers. No one goes alone." He quickly goes into telling squads where to go to look for civilians.
1216922:43:11: <Goatwright> Waakanti then heads over to the BIG SPOOPY HOUSE.
1217022:43:13: <Rainglove> Soldiers file out as you give directions. Anything specific you want el captino to do?
1217122:43:18: <Rainglove> he's there
1217222:43:23: <Benedict> And soon enough, Nurel is by the house. Well, okay, guess telling Saav to run ahead was pointless. "Either they will come out of the house, or will break out of the earth outside of the town. Be ready for both scenarios."
1217322:44:55: <NachtRuine> He tells the Captain to assist the squad which will probably receive the most resistance. "Godspeed, Captain. It was an honor."
1217422:45:03: <Hippocratesi> Aeria materializes outside of the house.
1217522:47:10: <NachtRuine> Before the Captain leaves, he hands him an envelope. "Oh. If I die, give this to what remains of the cabinet. I pray I will see you later."
1217622:47:11: <Rainglove> Captain departs
1217722:47:16: <Rainglove> oh, well, now he departs
1217822:47:53: <NachtRuine> Saav runs back to his compatriots. "The guard is mobilized to move the rest of the civilians out."
1217922:48:19: <Goatsmith> "I have the clerics who remain warding the residential area."
1218022:49:38: <Benedict> "We did all we can. Now we just wait, I suppose."
1218122:50:17: <NachtRuine> "If I die, find the captain of the guard."
1218222:50:37: <Goatsmith> "You will not die."
1218322:50:45: <Hippocratesi> "None of us will."
1218422:51:02: <NachtRuine> "Hence if, not when."
1218522:51:26: <Benedict> "<If anyone dies, it will be me.>" Nurel says. "Again, honor to work with you all."
1218622:51:32: <Rainglove> IT'S TIME BUDDIES
1218722:51:55: <Hippocratesi> YOU BETTER GET READY TO DIE
1218822:52:08: <Rainglove> EEEEEVIL begins to spread from around the house. Desecrate, it feels like. Plants wither, stones crack, and you feel pretty generally shitty.
1218922:52:20: <viejo> "Less talk of us dyin', more talk of us kickin' their fiery asses back to hell."
1219022:52:53: <NachtRuine> "Yes." Saav loads his crossbow. "Let's."
1219122:52:59: <Benedict> Gods damn it, Nurel personally planted those flowers! Those assholes!
1219222:53:20: <Goatsmith> Waakanti PREPARES TO CAST and such
1219322:53:28: <Rainglove> The house explodes in a blast of fire. Reflex saves, laddies.
1219422:53:31: <viejo> Qoja is ready for Freddy.
1219522:53:37: <Benedict> Nurel readies his McHuge rifle.
1219622:53:46: <viejo> 1d20+8
1219722:53:46: <BEIGE> Viejo: 23 (1d20+8=15)
1219822:53:50: <BEIGE> Benedict: Let's think positive: 23 (1d20+11=12)
1219922:53:50: <Benedict> 1d20+11 Let's think positive
1220022:54:00: <Hippocratesi> 1d20+4 nah
1220122:54:00: <BEIGE> Hippocratesi: nah: 12 (1d20+4=8)
1220222:54:02: <Hippocratesi> nah
1220322:54:10: <NachtRuine> I take Qoja's roll.
1220422:54:17: <viejo> Aeria doesn't even attempt to dodge. What a boss.
1220522:54:25: <Benedict> I THOUGHT WE WERE FRIENDS, SAAV.
1220622:54:31: <Rainglove> GOAT
1220722:54:31: <NachtRuine> I'LL TAKE YOUR ROLL TOO
1220822:54:49: <viejo> Is Saavou clinging on to Qoja as she dives? haha
1220922:55:15: <NachtRuine> Depends on how you see it.
1221022:55:21: <BEIGE> Goatsmith: SORRY: 20 (1d20+3=17)

1222222:57:00: <Goatsmith> o
1222322:57:04: <NachtRuine> :^)
1222422:57:49: <Rainglove> Undead pour forth. probably 20-30 zombies. They're slightly buffed up by desecrate, but at the end of the day cannon fodder is cannon fodder. Hope you brought your blasts.
1222522:57:56: <Goatsmith> Waakanti brushes off the damage.
1222622:58:18: <Hippocratesi> >20-30
1222722:58:22: <Hippocratesi> BOY OH BOY
1222822:58:23: <Rainglove> Roll for initiative lads. We'll just assume you all go first, we're just determining order.

1223022:58:31: <BEIGE> Viejo: ay?: 23 (1d20+6=17)

1223822:59:13: <BEIGE> Benedict: 19 (1d20+6=13)
1223923:00:12: <Rainglove> Waakanti Qoja Nurel Aeria Saav
1224023:00:17: <Rainglove> goooo
1224123:00:23: <Rainglove> best mow them down fast, more are coming up behind them
1224223:00:30: <Goatsmith> Waakanti casts COLOR SPRAY into the fray of zombays.
1224323:01:07: <Rainglove> one or two resist, but 12-ish zombies are thrown to the ground and stunned
1224423:01:15: <Rainglove> now you have to actually kill them
1224523:01:15: <viejo> Can I flurry? hrk
1224623:01:19: <Rainglove> yep
1224723:01:38: <BEIGE> Viejo: trippy trip: 27 (1d20+20=7)
1224823:01:38: <viejo> 1d20+20 trippy trip
1224923:02:14: <Rainglove> Qoja kicks a zombie's lower half off in an attempt to trip it
1225023:02:35: <viejo> i-is it ded?
1225123:02:41: <Rainglove> extremely
1225223:02:48: <Rainglove> also the zombie behind it has a hat made of legs
1225323:02:48: <viejo> rain pls
1225423:03:02: <viejo> 1d20+20 guess another trip on that hat-faggot
1225523:03:02: <BEIGE> Viejo: guess another trip on that hat-faggot: 40 (1d20+20=20)
1225623:03:12: <viejo> His hat offends the shit out of Qoja.
1225723:03:42: <Rainglove> qoja momentarily ascends to super-saiyan and trips the zombie right back down the stairway to hell
1225823:03:49: <Rainglove> he takes three or four with him
1225923:04:26: <Rainglove> NUREL
1226023:05:05: <Benedict> 1d20+9 Let's shoot some shits. Twice.
1226123:05:05: <BEIGE> Benedict: Let's shoot some shits. Twice.: 21 (1d20+9=12)
1226223:05:40: <Benedict> 1d20+9 And one more for good measure.
1226323:05:40: <BEIGE> Benedict: And one more for good measure.: 29 (1d20+9=20)
1226423:05:52: <Benedict> OH, NOW YOU WANNA LET ME CRIT? AGAINST THESE FUCKING ZOMBIES?
1226523:05:54: <Benedict> YOU ASSHOLE.
1226623:06:43: <Hippocratesi> ROLL DUG DAMAGE
1226723:06:45: <Hippocratesi> DUH
1226823:06:59: <Benedict> NAH. NAH.
1226923:07:05: <BEIGE> Benedict: 19 (1d10+10=9)
1227023:07:05: <Benedict> 1d10+10
1227123:07:07: <Benedict> 1d10+10
1227223:07:07: <BEIGE> Benedict: 12 (1d10+10=2)
1227323:08:07: <Rainglove> well
1227423:08:28: <Rainglove> Nurel's crit bullet keeps going through like three or four zambies, knocking them stone-cold dead
1227523:08:29: <Rainglove> again
1227623:08:40: <Rainglove> aaaaeria
1227723:08:52: <Benedict> "These zombies feel incredibly weak for some reason."
1227823:09:28: <Goatsmith> "They are zombies."
1227923:09:35: <Hippocratesi> 1d20+8 le powar attack
1228023:09:35: <BEIGE> Hippocratesi: le powar attack: 26 (1d20+8=18)
1228123:09:46: <Hippocratesi> that thar's a crit
1228223:09:48: <Hippocratesi> i think
1228323:10:07: <Rainglove> greatswords crit 19-20, so unless you have a feat for it...
1228423:10:27: <Hippocratesi> 2d6+13 NO CRITS ALLOWED
1228523:10:28: <BEIGE> Hippocratesi: NO CRITS ALLOWED: 22 (2d6+13=5, 4)
1228623:10:44: <Rainglove> aeria super beheads a zombie
1228723:10:46: <Rainglove> like bam
1228823:10:49: <Rainglove> there goes his head
1228923:10:57: <Rainglove> SAAV
1229023:11:24: <NachtRuine> Zambies aren't worth the spells. He gets mundane and shoots one with his crossbow.
1229123:11:26: <BEIGE> NachtRuine: 18 (1d20+7=11)
1229223:11:26: <NachtRuine> 1d20+7
1229323:11:44: <Rainglove> if he'd missed the massive undead horde I'd have been shocked
1229423:11:44: <NachtRuine> 1d8 presuming a hit
1229523:11:44: <BEIGE> NachtRuine: presuming a hit: 8 (1d8=8)
1229623:12:25: <Rainglove> zombie goes thunk
1229723:12:45: <Rainglove> they do seem pitifully weak for the armies of hell
1229823:14:09: <Rainglove> The remaining zombies, meanwhile, swarm you. There are only about ten left in the initial wave, but aeria and qoja are up to their necks in dead meat now. Another wave comes up, and these ones seem beefier. You catch a glimpse of... a minotaur? Something rather large.
1229923:14:38: <Hippocratesi> Oh god
1230023:14:43: <BEIGE> Rainglove: just making one general attack roll: 13 (1d20+10=3)
1230123:14:43: <Rainglove> 1d20+10 just making one general attack roll
1230223:14:49: <viejo> M-M-MINOTAUR?
1230323:14:52: <Rainglove> Fortunately the meat is awful
1230423:15:00: <Rainglove> and Aeria and Qoja remain unscathed for now
1230523:15:15: <viejo> Somewhere far away Batharl excuses himself from the dinner table and vomits profusely in a toilet.
1230623:16:03: <Rainglove> Waakanti's turn rolls back around. Being caught in a horde is going to be very bad news for your casting.
1230723:16:14: <Rainglove> Might want to move a bit before that happens.
1230823:17:14: <Goatsmith> hrrrk, Waakanti's scorpion wiggles off onto him and onto Qojo, and then Waakanti makes some distance from him and the horde.
1230923:17:36: <Rainglove> you still have a standard action
1231023:17:39: <Goatsmith> His scorpion hides in Qoja's clothes and channels Waak's ENLARGE PERSON.
1231123:17:50: <Rainglove> HEYYYY
1231223:18:02: <Rainglove> qoja's turn
1231323:18:13: <Goatsmith> Enjoy your higher damage
1231423:18:18: <Rainglove> also reach
1231523:18:18: <viejo> Thanks bud. :)
1231623:18:37: <viejo> What can I actually do with that in this scenario?
1231723:18:41: <viejo> Can I attack that minotaur fuck?
1231823:19:52: <Rainglove> You'd have to get through the undead horde. Acrobatics check to move through threatened space without getting punched in the dick. Thankfully zombies probably have pitiful CMD to resist your moving past them.
1231923:20:39: <viejo> Qoja essentially wants to be in a position in frontish of the casters so the horde, and importantly minotaur, have to go pass her to get to them.
1232023:21:10: <Rainglove> You're already in that area, along with aeria
1232123:21:24: <Rainglove> everyone except waakanti is 10-ish feet behind you
1232223:21:34: <viejo> 1d20+18 (enlarge persond decreases tripping by 2 THANKS OBAMA)
1232323:21:34: <BEIGE> Viejo: (enlarge persond decreases tripping by 2 THANKS OBAMA): 21 (1d20+18=3)
1232423:21:46: <viejo> 1d20+18
1232523:21:47: <BEIGE> Viejo: 19 (1d20+18=1)
1232623:21:53: <Rainglove> well the second one misses
1232723:21:55: <Rainglove> but the first one hits
1232823:21:58: <Rainglove> because zombies
1232923:22:04: <viejo> Go away zombies.
1233023:22:49: <Rainglove> that your turn?
1233123:23:30: <Rainglove> Zombies are spreading from around the house and further into the town, not just in your direction.
1233223:23:43: <Rainglove> The minotaur and beefier few, however, do seem focused on you.
1233323:24:02: <Goatsmith> Hopefully the clerics arrive soon.
1233423:24:05: <Rainglove> Assuming qoja's done, NUREL
1233523:24:11: <Goatsmith> Or Rotter or the wizard or the alchemist
1233623:24:21: <viejo> Yeah rain
1233723:24:33: <viejo> also don't fiveget I can trip one if it attacks me.
1233823:25:09: <Rainglove> benedict pls
1233923:26:04: <Benedict> Nurel doesn't feel like it, but then his god told him to stop being a pussy.
1234023:26:06: <Benedict> 1d20+9
1234123:26:07: <BEIGE> Benedict: 25 (1d20+9=16)
1234223:26:10: <Benedict> 1d20+9
1234323:26:11: <BEIGE> Benedict: 27 (1d20+9=18)
1234423:26:15: <BEIGE> Benedict: 18 (1d10+10=8)
1234523:26:15: <Benedict> 1d10+10
1234623:26:17: <Benedict> 1d10+10
1234723:26:17: <BEIGE> Benedict: 13 (1d10+10=3)
1234823:26:19: <Rainglove> are you just blasting zombies or
1234923:26:21: <Benedict> Yes.
1235023:26:23: <Benedict> Zombies.
1235123:26:26: <Benedict> Same as before.
1235223:28:20: <Rainglove> Nurel blasts some zombies away from qoja and aeria. Overkill damage still carries over, and he drops 4 of them.
1235323:28:23: <viejo> might want to shoot the big guys
1235423:28:28: <Rainglove> Aaaaeria, your turn.
1235523:28:43: <Hippocratesi> Aeria attempts to get closer to Cowmanzombie.
1235623:28:51: <Rainglove> You have a bit of room to breathe now, but you're still not done whittling down the first batch that came up, and a second is nearly on you.
1235723:28:56: <Rainglove> Further into zambieland?
1235823:29:01: <Hippocratesi> o-oh well
1235923:29:13: <Hippocratesi> i-i guess i'll keep takin' out zoombies
1236023:29:28: <Hippocratesi> 1d20+8 muh power
1236123:29:28: <BEIGE> Hippocratesi: muh power: 11 (1d20+8=3)
1236223:29:32: <Hippocratesi> whaaaat
1236323:29:35: <Rainglove> ya blew it
1236423:29:41: <Rainglove> aeria scores THE FIRST MISS
1236523:29:52: <Rainglove> Saav's turn, and then the horde moves again.
1236623:30:52: <NachtRuine> Saav moves further away from the horde, and casts Murderous Command upon the minotaur, to get him to clean up these zombies.
1236723:31:22: <viejo> Rain do we have any clarification on what "big guys" there are? can we perc roll ooorrr?
1236823:31:26: <NachtRuine> DC17
1236923:31:39: <Rainglove> 1d20+6 hrk
1237023:31:39: <BEIGE> Rainglove: hrk: 25 (1d20+6=19)
1237123:31:41: <Rainglove> well
1237223:32:02: <Rainglove> They just look like beefier zombies, viejo.
1237323:32:16: <Rainglove> Slightly less prone to being one-shotted. Not necessarily MIGHTY MEN AMONG MEN, but sturdier.
1237423:32:22: <viejo> Oh right. Only the minotaur is the stand-out guy?
1237523:32:40: <Rainglove> He's the only immediately obvious one.
1237623:33:51: <Rainglove> But it's the undead's turn now. Where aeria and qoja were surrounded by 10-ish zombies before, you're swamped in them now. Completely surrounded, though they've provoked AoO's from you to do so. The minotaur is about ten feet off from aeria, just a zombie between them.
1237723:34:32: <Rainglove> They continue to spill out into the town in directions away from you.
1237823:34:52: <Rainglove> The minotaur, being large, is in fact within attacking range of aeria
1237923:35:04: <BEIGE> Rainglove: 23 (1d20+11=12)
1238023:35:04: <Rainglove> 1d20+11
1238123:35:08: <Rainglove> that a hit?
1238223:35:16: <Hippocratesi> yes
1238323:35:19: <Hippocratesi> just one over
1238423:35:20: <BEIGE> Rainglove: 15 (3d6+9=3, 2, 1)
1238523:35:20: <Hippocratesi> ;____;
1238623:35:20: <Rainglove> 3d6+9
1238723:35:23: <Hippocratesi> ow
1238823:35:27: <BEIGE> Rainglove: attack 2: 13 (1d20+5=8)
1238923:35:27: <Rainglove> 1d20+5 attack 2
1239023:35:32: <Rainglove> And that's a miss
1239123:35:33: <Hippocratesi> HAH
1239223:35:38: <Benedict> Protect your waifu Qoja.
1239323:36:30: <Rainglove> You hear a screech from behind you, and one of those larger demons that was attending to the pillar when you first saw it flies overhead. It watches you, but doesn't seem to be interfering.
1239423:36:34: <Rainglove> Waakanti's turn.
1239523:36:43: <viejo> Does the minotaur pass through my threat range? (10ft)
1239623:37:10: <Rainglove> Not even if you're directly adjacent to aeria. It's still out of her attack range, and getting near it requries her to either acrobatics or get AoO's
1239723:37:13: <viejo> have I been attacking with combat reflexes at all these zombies?
1239823:37:28: <Rainglove> you could have, if you feel like rolling it's not too late
1239923:37:32: <Rainglove> just roll damage
1240023:37:36: <Rainglove> we'll assume they all hit
1240123:37:45: <viejo> 2d6+10
1240223:37:45: <BEIGE> Viejo: 16 (2d6+10=2, 4)

1240923:38:04: <BEIGE> Viejo: 15 (2d6+10=4, 1)

1241623:40:38: <Goatsmith> Also it hides in her armor pls dun get it killed
1241723:41:03: <Rainglove> Waakanti's still got a move action. Do anything with that?
1241823:41:12: <Hippocratesi> >a scorpion gets to see aeria's tits before anyone else
1241923:41:40: <viejo> What weapon is the minotaur wielding?
1242023:41:43: <Goatsmith> He just maintains a distance from the horde, but I can't do anythin'
1242123:41:44: <Benedict> Hiding in her armor, not like it's going to go under her quilted cloth.
1242223:41:51: <Goatsmith> It might
1242323:42:08: <Benedict> It won't. It has no interest in angel tits.
1242423:42:21: <Rainglove> greataxe
1242523:42:27: <Rainglove> Qoja's turn
1242623:42:28: <viejo> AHHH

1243823:45:07: <BEIGE> Viejo: pls 2 b kicking in face: 13 (2d6+10=1, 2)
1243923:45:11: <Rainglove> Minotaur slams onto his minotaur ass
1244023:45:56: <BEIGE> Viejo: 31 (1d20+12=19)
1244123:45:56: <viejo> 1d20+12

1244623:47:09: <Rainglove> nurel's turn I believe
1244723:47:09: <Benedict> Besides the fallen Minotaur and zombies, what else is around?
1244823:47:40: <Rainglove> There's that demon flying around over you. You get the feeling there are about to be a few more targets than just that. You're sensing some bretty big ebul
1244923:47:51: <viejo> EBOLA?
1245023:47:59: <Benedict> EVIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIL. Let's shoot him out of the sky.
1245123:48:04: <BEIGE> Benedict: Kek one: 16 (1d20+9=7)
1245223:48:04: <Benedict> 1d20+9 Kek one
1245323:48:08: <BEIGE> Benedict: Kek two: 20 (1d20+9=11)
1245423:48:08: <Benedict> 1d20+9 Kek two
1245523:48:30: <Rainglove> Nurel misses a glorious two times
1245623:48:39: <Rainglove> Aeria's turn
1245723:48:50: <Hippocratesi> Am I close enough to the cowman?
1245823:48:52: <Rainglove> you could close the gap to the minotaur without provoking an AoO
1245923:48:56: <Rainglove> no, but see above
1246023:48:56: <Hippocratesi> rokay
1246123:49:12: <Hippocratesi> Aeria closes the distance and uh, attacks.
1246223:49:48: <Hippocratesi> but BEFORE THAT she smites evil.
1246323:50:17: <Hippocratesi> 1d20+20 I HOPE MUH MATH IS RIGHT
1246423:50:18: <BEIGE> Hippocratesi: I HOPE MUH MATH IS RIGHT: 36 (1d20+20=16)
1246523:51:25: <Hippocratesi> 2d6+21 i dunno i think this is right?
1246623:51:25: <BEIGE> Hippocratesi: i dunno i think this is right?: 31 (2d6+21=5, 5)

12468 2014-11-08
12469
12470
1247100:00:00: <Rainglove> Aeria beats the /shit/ out of that minotaur. Stabs it right through the neck. It's dead as a doornail.
1247200:00:17: <Rainglove> Saav's turn before the armies of hell come once more.
1247300:02:16: <NachtRuine> Saav calls out to the rest of the group once he sees the minotaur dead. "The guards and clerics can handle the zombies! Let's keep moving!"
1247400:03:00: <Rainglove> does he do anything else or
1247500:03:30: <Benedict> Hey, look at the flying demon above us, Saav.
1247600:03:58: <NachtRuine> He ain't on us yet, is he?
1247700:04:13: <Benedict> "We got a flyer above us, Saav. We should get rid of it so it doesn't tell everyone where we're going."
1247800:05:12: <NachtRuine> Saav looks up and casts Arrow of Law upon it!
1247900:05:48: <Rainglove> make a ranged touch attack
1248000:05:48: <Hippocratesi> Aeria gives an assuring nod and a smirk to the giant Qoja and heads on back closer to where the ranged folks are.
1248100:06:47: <NachtRuine> 1d20+6 i thiiink this is what id roll?
1248200:06:47: <BEIGE> NachtRuine: i thiiink this is what id roll?: 13 (1d20+6=7)
1248300:07:04: <viejo> Qoja moves back to the others because apparently the gate will blow the fug up.
1248400:07:06: <Rainglove> saav's arrow misses
1248500:07:08: <Hippocratesi> 1d20+1 I AM THE MOST ACROBATIC
1248600:07:09: <BEIGE> Hippocratesi: I AM THE MOST ACROBATIC: 5 (1d20+1=4)
1248700:07:18: <Rainglove> aeria gets mauled by zombies on the way back
1248800:07:30: <Hippocratesi> ow
1248900:07:31: <Hippocratesi> ouch
1249000:07:32: <Rainglove> 5d4 lots of tiny bites
1249100:07:33: <BEIGE> Rainglove: lots of tiny bites: 12 (5d4=1, 2, 4, 3, 2)
1249200:07:34: <Hippocratesi> ooh
1249300:07:38: <Hippocratesi> it hurts so bad guys
1249400:07:45: <Rainglove> try not to cry
1249500:07:53: <Benedict> Zombie bites are lewd.
1249600:07:55: <Hippocratesi> i actually need to heal
1249700:07:56: <Hippocratesi> really bad
1249800:08:04: <Rainglove> you have lay on hands
1249900:08:11: <Rainglove> that you could start using as soon as you start taking damage
1250000:08:22: <Benedict> We'll heal once we're out of the zombie swarm. Oh yeah, Nurel should try leaving the swarm, too.
1250100:08:28: <Hippocratesi> am i
1250200:08:32: <Hippocratesi> out of the swarm?

1251400:09:04: <BEIGE> Hippocratesi: WHERE DO YOU THINK I AM: 2 (2d6=1, 1)
1251500:09:05: <Benedict> Hippo, you need to think positive.
1251600:09:10: <viejo> THE ONENING
1251700:09:15: <BEIGE> Hippocratesi: THINK POSITIVE: 5 (2d6=4, 1)
1251800:09:15: <Rainglove> aeria your god has forsaken you
1251900:09:15: <Hippocratesi> 2d6 THINK POSITIVE
1252000:09:27: <Rainglove> he kind of remembers you now
1252100:09:32: <Hippocratesi> 2d6 harder faggot
1252200:09:32: <BEIGE> Hippocratesi: harder faggot: 2 (2d6=1, 1)
1252300:09:32: <Rainglove> he thinks he met you at a party once
1252400:09:37: <Hippocratesi> >he
1252500:09:37: <viejo> WOW
1252600:09:50: <BEIGE> Hippocratesi: this is very silly, Beige: 6 (2d6=1, 5)
1252700:09:51: <Hippocratesi> 2d6 this is very silly, Beige
1252800:10:08: <Hippocratesi> 2d6 the silliest
1252900:10:08: <BEIGE> Hippocratesi: the silliest: 5 (2d6=2, 3)
1253000:10:27: <Benedict> Nurel will just offer some heals once she gets close.
1253100:10:50: <Hippocratesi> Aeria gets close so she can stop hitting herself.
1253200:10:56: <Benedict> 2d6 Nurel thinks positive and uses Lay on Hands when Aeria is close enough.
1253300:10:56: <BEIGE> Benedict: Nurel thinks positive and uses Lay on Hands when Aeria is close enough.: 10 (2d6=6, 4)
1253400:11:01: <Hippocratesi> jesus
1253500:11:06: <Hippocratesi> well thank you benny
1253600:11:15: <Rainglove> angelic choirs sing from somewhere
1253700:11:17: <Benedict> Let's positive thinking!
1253800:11:28: <Hippocratesi> 2d6 ONE MORE
1253900:11:29: <BEIGE> Hippocratesi: ONE MORE: 4 (2d6=3, 1)
1254000:11:33: <viejo> That scorpion's still in between Aeria's tits.
1254100:11:35: <Rainglove> you are for now free of the zombies
1254200:11:37: <Benedict> Just stop.
1254300:11:37: <Hippocratesi> i'll stop
1254400:11:40: <Hippocratesi> :(
1254500:11:43: <Rainglove> might want to GET MOVIN LADDIES
1254600:11:53: <Hippocratesi> 48 HP will be fine r-right hahaha
1254700:11:58: <Benedict> Nurel gets moving.
1254800:12:04: <Rainglove> wherever you're going
1254900:12:13: <Benedict> Move closer to the town hall?
1255000:12:15: <NachtRuine> Saav procures the movement.
1255100:12:16: <Hippocratesi> where are we even going
1255200:12:17: <Rainglove> The bat demon thing follows you overhead.
1255300:12:32: <Hippocratesi> Aeria just follows Nurel.
1255400:12:51: <Goatwright> Waakanti uses Evil Eye on it as they travel to LOWER ITS SAVES BY 2, OOOOO.
1255500:13:09: <Rainglove> it's out of range faggot
1255600:13:33: <Goatwright> Evil Eye doesn't have a range
1255700:13:37: <Goatwright> I believe it's sight-based
1255800:13:52: <Benedict> "We should move closer to the Town Hall?"
1255900:14:20: <viejo> "Ain't this thing gonna blow? Why're we still here?"
1256000:15:19: <NachtRuine> "We should be trying to move civilians, unless we're looking for something."
1256100:15:45: <viejo> "Shouldn't we be getting /out/ of Novit?"
1256200:15:49: <Hippocratesi> "There's also a demon hunting us down."
1256300:16:05: <Rainglove> Something explodes rather violently off in the distance. Bits of hours come raining down.
1256400:16:13: <Goatwright> >hours
1256500:16:15: <Rainglove> Seems a bit beyond what most zombies can do.
1256600:16:20: <Goatwright> oh god time is literally falling apart around us
1256700:16:21: <Rainglove> house
1256800:16:22: <Rainglove> yes
1256900:16:22: <NachtRuine> Oh shit they're blowing up time
1257000:16:44: <Hippocratesi> RIP
1257100:16:44: <Hippocratesi> musta been the alchemist's house
1257200:17:15: <Benedict> Nurel looks to the source of the BOOM. What is COMING?
1257300:17:21: <viejo> We get a sudden glimpse into the future! What's that? It... It looks like a red-bearded dwarf and he's... oh what's that? It's a soap statue of... a woman! Yes a woman! How lovely! He's admiring it. Now he's... oh god, he's pulling his pants down. He's masturbating over it.
1257400:17:41: <Benedict> >Garret
1257500:17:43: <Benedict> >Masturbating
1257600:18:18: <Rainglove> Some sort of MAGIC nurel. Probably some dumb arcane caster or something.
1257700:18:21: <viejo> Who said it was Garret you presumptive fug?
1257800:19:09: <Benedict> "Waak. Can you tell what just happened and if there's something in that explosion?"
1257900:19:24: <Hippocratesi> "Nurel. We can't stay here."
1258000:19:41: <Hippocratesi> "Soon enough there'll be nothing to protect."
1258100:20:17: <Goatwright> I'm pretty sure Waakanti is too far for a detect magic, right?
1258200:20:27: <Rainglove> way too dar
1258300:20:28: <Rainglove> far
1258400:20:32: <Rainglove> my typing dear god
1258500:20:36: <Goatwright> "I would need to get closer to tell."
1258600:22:27: <Goatwright> Waakanti decides to go over and investigate instead of us sitting here in silence.
1258700:22:57: <NachtRuine> "The guards have likely moved everyone who is going to be moved, come to think of it." Saav sees Waakanti going to investigate the explosion and sighs. He follows.
1258800:23:22: <viejo> "We should, er, leave."
1258900:23:55: <viejo> "As much as I like a good fight isn't this thing going to blow and mishmash us into a pool of giblets any time now?"
1259000:24:00: <Rainglove> Waakanti, as you approach, you feel a fairly familiar brand of abjuration magic. A fireball takes out a side of a house, along with a dozen or so zombies. Your local wizard stands in the street in the middle of a circle of protection against evil, blasting undead. He seems somewhat frazzled.
1259100:25:32: <viejo> Qoja follows and her earlier comments are clearly only regarding the gate.
1259200:25:53: <Hippocratesi> Aeria follows the rest.
1259300:26:02: <Rainglove> okay you're there
1259400:26:05: <Rainglove> just do something pls
1259500:26:37: <NachtRuine> "I must agree. We've done what we can, now we must get out ali - " He sees the local wizard. "Mage man! Come with us!"
1259600:26:53: <Benedict> 1d20+8 Nurel looks around. How are the rescue attempts going?
1259700:26:54: <BEIGE> Benedict: Nurel looks around. How are the rescue attempts going?: 13 (1d20+8=5)
1259800:27:01: <Hippocratesi> "He's surrounded. We'll have to go get him."
1259900:27:02: <Benedict> Man, I wish I wasn't blind.
1260000:28:46: <Rainglove> The wizard sort of waves at you as Saav yells at him, and yells back. "Can't really leave the circle, sorry!"
1260100:29:58: <NachtRuine> "Once we get him, let's get out of Novit." Saav goes to assist the wizard. How does his situation look?
1260200:30:52: <Goatwright> Waakanti gets close to the horde and CHANNELS ENERGY HNNNGH.
1260300:30:57: <Benedict> "Sounds fine. My mule is out there with my stuff anyway."
1260400:31:02: <Rainglove> Not too bad. He seems pretty determined to protect his house, though. He's thinned out plenty of the zombies.
1260500:31:42: <Goatwright> Unless I can just mow down these zombies with my hammer with zero threat to myself
1260600:32:01: <Rainglove> they're pretty non-threatening
1260700:32:26: <Goatwright> Waakanti just sort of bats them aside as he advances, then. "Come. We cannot let you die here."
1260800:33:23: <Rainglove> "But my /house/." The wizard points at the house. The house stands there impassively. "I've got stuff in there, I can't just give it all up!"
1260900:33:50: <Goatwright> "You're a wizard! Do you have no spell for moving it?"
1261000:34:33: <Rainglove> He just sort of stares at Waakanti.
1261100:34:39: <NachtRuine> "You can either give up some of your items, or you can die. In dying, you lose all of your items, and your life. The choice is clear."
1261200:34:58: <viejo> Saavou should totally roll intimidate.
1261300:35:00: <Hippocratesi> "We don't have time for your foolishness, wizard!"
1261400:35:15: <NachtRuine> He will if wizard ain't gonna budge.
1261500:36:07: <Goatwright> Or you know
1261600:36:17: <Goatwright> somebody can roll Diplomacy to persuade
1261700:36:17: <Hippocratesi> pick him up and carry him
1261800:36:26: <Rainglove> He huffs. "Might we be able to come back later?"
1261900:36:29: <Goatwright> or that
1262000:36:29: <Hippocratesi> oh
1262100:36:39: <NachtRuine> Diplomacy first, then Intimidate.
1262200:36:52: <Benedict> 1d20+10 "We might not be able to come back, but I can pay to replace some of your stuff, mage. Please, let's leave, before we all die."
1262300:36:52: <BEIGE> Benedict: "We might not be able to come back, but I can pay to replace some of your stuff, mage. Please, let's leave, before we all die.": 19 (1d20+10=9)
1262400:39:36: <Rainglove> He sighs. And huffs. And almost pouts. "Fine." He throws a parting magic circle around the door of the house, then turns to leave with you.
1262500:40:37: <NachtRuine> Wizard has joined the party! Wizard needs food badly! I mean, Saav says, "Let's go." He goes.
1262600:40:59: <Benedict> Nurel runs to get the FUG outta Novit.
1262700:41:05: <Hippocratesi> Aeria goes. To leave. This town.
1262800:41:53: <Goatwright> Waakanti follows I g-guess.
1262900:42:09: <Benedict> 1d20+8 Let's take a quick glance around to see if Tolay is fighting or DED.
1263000:42:09: <BEIGE> Benedict: Let's take a quick glance around to see if Tolay is fighting or DED.: 10 (1d20+8=2)
1263100:42:14: <Benedict> Man, I'm blind.
1263200:42:31: <viejo> 1d20+13 muh eyes
1263300:42:31: <BEIGE> Viejo: muh eyes: 31 (1d20+13=18)
1263400:42:54: <viejo> Can Qoja spot the nametag on the inside of the back of the wizard's robes?
1263500:43:09: <viejo> 'Please return to Alban Fatmir if found.'
1263600:43:54: <Rainglove> Wizard follows, muttering to himself the whole way. You feel something ripple through the air again as you leave, similar to the desecration around the initial house, but stronger. Spellcraft might give you a clue.
1263700:44:17: <NachtRuine> 1d20+8 spellcraft you say?
1263800:44:18: <BEIGE> NachtRuine: spellcraft you say?: 27 (1d20+8=19)
1263900:44:25: <Hippocratesi> 1d20+6 what in the WORLD could it be
1264000:44:25: <BEIGE> Hippocratesi: what in the WORLD could it be: 17 (1d20+6=11)
1264100:44:44: <Rainglove> The demon from earlier flies off as you- jesus christ- head towards the borders of the town. The undead horde is visible behind you, slowly spreading through the alleys of the town.
1264200:44:53: <viejo> boo
1264300:45:46: <Rainglove> Saav, this seems to be a more powerful version of desecrate. You know it becomes stronger when it has something inside of it like a shrine to evil, or other significant structures, but this is above even that.
1264400:46:07: <Rainglove> Staying in this area is probably bad news for any of your strongly good-aligned buddies.
1264500:46:09: <Goatwright> 1d20+5
1264600:46:10: <BEIGE> Goatwright: 8 (1d20+5=3)
1264700:46:14: <NachtRuine> I-Is shit gonna be summoned?
1264800:46:15: <Goatwright> What is magic?
1264900:46:20: <Rainglove> They might also want to avoid detecting evil for too long.
1265000:46:27: <Rainglove> Overwhelming auras and all that.
1265100:46:47: <Rainglove> nah, this isn't pit fiend
1265200:46:56: <Rainglove> you'd probably be able to see it if it was
1265300:47:08: <Benedict> Nurel is just gonna keep running out of town, thanks.
1265400:47:20: <Goatwright> "Do you think the sorcerer from a few days ago is still alive?"
1265500:47:23: <NachtRuine> "There are overwhelming auras of evil, do not detect for it. We need to get out as soon as we can, the paladins among us may not be able to stand the stench."
1265600:48:20: <Benedict> "I can already smell it..."
1265700:48:36: <viejo> "Yeah, getting the hell out of here, pun unintended, would be great."
1265800:48:47: <Hippocratesi> "It's making me sick. Let's move, quickly."
1265900:48:54: <NachtRuine> And so we move quickly.
1266000:50:34: <Goatwright> Woosh.
1266100:51:58: <Rainglove> As you reach the outskirts of the city, you hear a screech from behind you. Sounds like the demon from before. This time though, it's not content to leave you alone. It slams to the ground in front of your group, dropping something that is definitely not undead beside it.
1266200:52:24: <Rainglove> It's something in a set of full plate, what exactly you're not sure.
1266300:52:32: <Goatwright> Can we roll to find out?
1266400:52:36: <Rainglove> K religion
1266500:52:52: <Rainglove> you're not going to get precise answers, but you can get good guesses.
1266600:52:57: <NachtRuine> 1d20+8 if this is a hell knight im going to shit my pants
1266700:52:57: <BEIGE> NachtRuine: if this is a hell knight im going to shit my pants: 10 (1d20+8=2)
1266800:53:11: <Rainglove> you can roll for the demon as well
1266900:53:15: <Rainglove> say which roll is which
1267000:53:21: <NachtRuine> 1d20+8 demon time
1267100:53:21: <BEIGE> NachtRuine: demon time: 9 (1d20+8=1)
1267200:53:24: <NachtRuine> wow
1267300:53:25: <NachtRuine> what is a demon
1267400:53:31: <Hippocratesi> 1d20+6
1267500:53:31: <BEIGE> Hippocratesi: 20 (1d20+6=14)
1267600:53:40: <Rainglove> 19:50	Rainglove	say which roll is which
1267700:53:51: <Hippocratesi> oh uh

1269600:56:51: <Rainglove> The demon is some sort of lesser pit fiend. Probably a fairly strong sorcerer in addition to a powerful melee fighter. The knight, you have no idea.
1269700:57:16: <BEIGE> Viejo: religion on knight :^): 18 (1d20+7=11)

1272401:01:47: <Hippocratesi> GOSH
1272501:01:47: <Rainglove> NURELLLLLLL
1272601:02:12: <Benedict> Nurel don't like the look of that Knight faggot. He loads up his wife and prepares to shoot that fucker. Twice. Because that's his thing.
1272701:02:16: <Benedict> 1d20+9 Shot one.
1272801:02:17: <BEIGE> Benedict: Shot one.: 20 (1d20+9=11)
1272901:02:34: <Benedict> 1d20+9 That was probably a miss. Shot two.
1273001:02:35: <BEIGE> Benedict: That was probably a miss. Shot two.: 11 (1d20+9=2)
1273101:02:41: <Benedict> No no, I think that might have hit.
1273201:02:47: <Rainglove> Shot one, being against touch AC, is a hit
1273301:02:54: <viejo> Did you smite, Benny?
1273401:03:17: <Goatwright> are my uh
1273501:03:21: <Goatwright> spells worn off, I'm guessing?
1273601:03:21: <Benedict> Nope, because I'm an idiot.
1273701:03:36: <BEIGE> Benedict: Hrk hrk.: 11 (1d10+10=1)
1273801:03:36: <Benedict> 1d10+10 Hrk hrk.
1273901:07:07: <Rainglove> Nurel hits for 11 damage. The knight is not particularly bothered by this. He chugs a potion, of some kind you can't identify, then roars some ungodly noise at Nurel.
1274001:07:14: <Rainglove> 1d20+16 Intimidate check to demoralize
1274101:07:14: <BEIGE> Rainglove: Intimidate check to demoralize: 33 (1d20+16=17)
1274201:07:17: <Rainglove> WELL
1274301:07:43: <Benedict> Well, uh. I guess there's no avoiding that unless I rolled a 20 in... whatever.
1274401:07:55: <Rainglove> it's against a flat DC of 10+level+will save
1274501:08:03: <Benedict> Ah. Well.
1274601:08:04: <Rainglove> er, wis mod
1274701:08:10: <Benedict> Nurel is very scared.
1274801:09:00: <Rainglove> Nurel takes -2 to pretty much everything
1274901:09:03: <Rainglove> Saav's turn
1275001:11:58: <NachtRuine> Saav touches Aeria and she feels the power of the law! Guaranteed 11 (unless you dont want it, i guess)

1275201:12:31: <Hippocratesi> LAW
1275301:12:46: <Rainglove> Waakanti's turn, unless saav wants to spend his move action on something else.
1275401:14:05: <Goatwright> Waakanti uses Fortune on Aeria. She gets a reroll a turn.

1276401:17:08: <Rainglove> The knight falls onto his ass
1276501:17:11: <Rainglove> and is kicked in the face
1276601:17:14: <Rainglove> he seems miffed
1276701:17:18: <Rainglove> Aeria's turn

1277601:18:18: <Hippocratesi> Aeria moves forward and prepares to stab the tripped faggot.

1279001:19:56: <Rainglove> Time for the fiend's turn
1279101:21:42: <Rainglove> The demon blasts a quickened fireball at aeria and Qoja. Reflex save.

1282801:24:51: <viejo> I'll use a ki point to gain a +4 dodge to my AC for one round.
1282901:25:39: <viejo> 26 is her AC with the dodge bonus.
1283001:27:16: <viejo> No ki for Qoja. No dodgy. Here it cums.

1283501:27:58: <viejo> yes
1283601:29:27: <Rainglove> The wizard drops a globe of invulnerability around aeria and qoja
1283701:29:30: <Rainglove> nurel's turn
1283801:30:06: <Benedict> Knight still down or standing?
1283901:30:14: <Rainglove> they're both on the ground
1284001:30:28: <viejo> Courtesy of your Autist Monkey. (I am sorry Benny)
1284101:30:36: <Hippocratesi> Does that globe do exactly what I think it does?
1284201:30:40: <viejo> no hippo
1284301:30:45: <Benedict> The demon and the knight are both on the ground? Really? God damn it.
1284401:31:17: <Benedict> Well, smite evil on the knight and attack his ass with a deadly aim.
1284501:31:41: <Benedict> 1d20+10 It's -4 to hit downed targets, I believe, so this +10 is correct.
1284601:31:41: <BEIGE> Benedict: It's -4 to hit downed targets, I believe, so this +10 is correct.: 30 (1d20+10=20)
1284701:31:45: <viejo> :^)

1285501:32:37: <viejo> +18 would hopefully do it
1285601:32:40: <viejo> for xbox hueg damage
1285701:32:47: <Rainglove> you could try
1285801:32:49: <Benedict> Oh, now I see what you mean.
1285901:33:02: <Goatwright> we get a point back from leveling anyway
1286001:33:08: <Benedict> 1d10+28 I smited the guy, and with hero point, this is correct.
1286101:33:08: <BEIGE> Benedict: I smited the guy, and with hero point, this is correct.: 34 (1d10+28=6)
1286201:33:11: <viejo> Nurel may be afraid, but he has the power of character to overcome it.
1286301:33:24: <Goatwright> >68 damage
1286401:33:26: <Goatwright> RAIN
1286501:33:31: <Hippocratesi> THAT NIGGA DED

1286701:33:33: <Rainglove> the knight just sort of
1286801:33:34: <Rainglove> tips over
1286901:33:37: <Goatwright> I WANT TO SEE WHAT IT SAYS
1287001:33:44: <Rainglove> pretty much his entire upper body is gone
1287101:33:57: <Hippocratesi> Aeria gives Nurel a thumbs up. Snipin's a good job, m8.
1287201:33:57: <viejo> Does the knight try and prop himself up to look at Nurel one last time before he's blown into bits?
1287301:34:00: <Benedict> "Headshot."
1287401:34:12: <Rainglove> The knight uses his turn to flop around on the ground
1287501:34:16: <Rainglove> Saav's turn
1287601:34:18: <viejo> "OH FUCK."
1287701:34:24: <Goatwright> "Impressive."
1287801:38:15: <NachtRuine> Saav is rendered speechless. But back to the combat! He jumps into the globe and gives his heals to Qoja! Cure Serious Wounds!
1287901:38:31: <NachtRuine> 3d8+5 enjoy the life
1288001:38:31: <BEIGE> NachtRuine: enjoy the life: 25 (3d8+5=7, 6, 7)
1288101:38:34: <Benedict> Nurel points at his eyes with a finger and a pink, then points at the remaining demon, mouthing the words, "You're next."
1288201:38:49: <Rainglove> The demon shrieks at the knight's death. Something from inside the town roars back. May want to hurry.
1288301:39:15: <Rainglove> goddamn saav
1288401:39:17: <viejo> Qoja is extremely grateful and shouts out a "THANKS"

1289001:40:06: <Hippocratesi> thanx giant who'll leave us soon
1289101:40:07: <Goatwright> He also spends his move action chanting so Aeria can keep using Fortune.
1289201:40:11: <Rainglove> demon is on the ground, so +4 to hit
1289301:40:12: <viejo> She's probably somewhat splattered in blood from the knight exploding right in front of her. She's a bit on-edge.

1295001:47:46: <viejo> Who did it attack? I'm guessing Qoja
1295101:47:48: <Hippocratesi> also that did hit me right?
1295201:48:07: <Benedict> Nurel isn't going to waste his last smite evil on this punk. Time for the usually shoot-shoot-bang.
1295301:48:09: <Rainglove> aeria
1295401:48:19: <Hippocratesi> I'M IN BAD SHAPE
1295501:48:21: <BEIGE> Benedict: Shot one on the demon.: 16 (1d20+9=7)

1296201:48:37: <BEIGE> Benedict: 18 (1d10+10=8)
1296301:48:43: <Rainglove> well, it ain't much
1296401:48:47: <Rainglove> but it's enough to giblet the demon
1296501:49:04: <Hippocratesi> 2d6 positive thinking
1296601:49:05: <BEIGE> Hippocratesi: positive thinking: 7 (2d6=4, 3)
1296701:49:10: <Hippocratesi> 2d6 positive thinking
1296801:49:10: <BEIGE> Hippocratesi: positive thinking: 7 (2d6=3, 4)
1296901:49:20: <Hippocratesi> 2d6 just heal me please
1297001:49:27: <BEIGE> Hippocratesi: just heal me please: 2 (2d6=1, 1)
1297101:49:32: <viejo> "We did it!" She laughs. "You lot did great! Nurel though, that shot I mean, that's scary, man."
1297201:49:36: <Rainglove> you stopped thinking positively
1297301:50:02: <Hippocratesi> 2d6 I will continue to think positively and smack myself in the face
1297401:50:02: <BEIGE> Hippocratesi: I will continue to think positively and smack myself in the face: 9 (2d6=4, 5)
1297501:50:07: <NachtRuine> "I have never seen such a terrific shot. Your gun has done you well, as you have to it."
1297601:50:18: <Goatwright> "You did well."
1297701:50:23: <Hippocratesi> 2d6 i should just roll this in another room
1297801:50:23: <BEIGE> Hippocratesi: i should just roll this in another room: 11 (2d6=6, 5)
1297901:50:36: <viejo> "Serves 'im right. They came here and saw what the king had to say about it."
1298001:50:39: <BEIGE> Hippocratesi: eh i'm almost there, one more: 10 (2d6=6, 4)
1298101:50:39: <Hippocratesi> 2d6 eh i'm almost there, one more
1298201:50:46: <Hippocratesi> exactly what i needed
1298301:51:37: <NachtRuine> "Come then, we cannot idle. Heal yourselves, then let's keep moving."
1298401:51:43: <Benedict> Nurel scratches his neck. Embarrassment time. "Well, it... it was just a lucky shot, and I had my God on my side..."
1298501:51:59: <Benedict> "Right! Healing! Who needs that?"
1298601:52:27: <viejo> Qoja checks herself. "Nope, I'm good. Thanks for that Saavou."
1298701:53:07: <NachtRuine> He nods. "I am slightly wounded from before, but nothing to waste spells on."
1298801:53:22: <Goatwright> Before they go, Waakanti casts Eagle Eye!
1298901:53:26: <Hippocratesi> "I'm fine. We can't afford to keep sitting here, though."
1299001:53:38: <Goatwright> He wants a good view above the town to see the progress of the horde and if he sees anybody significant still inside.
1299101:53:39: <Hippocratesi> "I'm sure that demon had friends."
1299201:54:10: <viejo> "We actually did it! Kicked its hellish ass! I've only read about demons and I just, wow, we don't fuck about."
1299301:54:15: <Rainglove> The horde has covered most of the town, waakanti. You also spot another demon headed your way, significantly larger than the one you just fought. You're probably not in any shape to fight that at the moment.
1299401:54:50: <Goatwright> RIP Rotter
1299501:54:59: <Rainglove> A column of flame blasts out from a row of houses uncomfortably near you.
1299601:55:07: <viejo> Let's rush off.
1299701:55:14: <NachtRuine> "Not a good sign! Let's move!
1299801:55:18: <Hippocratesi> No, let's keep looking at it.
1299901:55:31: <Goatwright> "The majority of the town is taken. A large demon approaches. We must go."
1300001:55:35: <viejo> "Hey we can take that one as wel- Oh, that's er, quite a lot... bigger... Time to scoot!"
1300101:56:12: <Rainglove> you presumably depart
1300201:56:19: <Goatwright> Waakanti lets out a LOUD WHISTLE.
1300301:56:22: <Goatwright> HE BECKONS HIS CAMELS.
1300401:56:28: <Goatwright> COME, CAMELS, LET US USE THE CART AND RIDE OFF.
1300501:56:47: <Rainglove> NOW MAY NOT BE THE TIME FOR HITCHING UP YOUR CART
1300601:57:05: <Goatwright> IT'S OKAY I HAVE MAGIC
1300701:57:07: <Goatwright> IT HITCHES ITSELF
1300801:57:08: <Goatwright> WOOD SHAPE
1300901:57:09: <Goatwright> ETC
1301001:57:11: <Goatwright> LET'S GO
1301101:57:33: <Rainglove> OFF YOU GO
1301201:57:38: <Benedict> Nurel's mule is also obviously there. Time to get the fuck outta dodge.
1301302:00:03: <Rainglove> As you journey away from the town, a few of the recently departed townsfolk come into view. They're generally gathered around something, watching, though a this distance it's hard to tell.
1301402:00:06: <Rainglove> *what.
1301502:00:21: <Goatwright> Waakanti drives them closer!
1301602:02:20: <Rainglove> Looks like rotter and tolay are fighting to the death! Who would have expected that. A blast of fire explodes against rotter as you close the distance. Apparently tolay had some magic in him after all.
1301702:02:42: <Hippocratesi> kek
1301802:03:03: <BEIGE> Viejo: MUH EYES: 27 (1d20+13=14)
1301902:03:03: <viejo> 1d20+13 MUH EYES
1302002:03:26: <BEIGE> NachtRuine: how duh battle looking? someone 'bout to die?: 22 (1d20+13=9)
1302102:03:26: <NachtRuine> 1d20+13 how duh battle looking? someone 'bout to die?
1302202:03:40: <Hippocratesi> "What's happening here? Who are these two?"
1302302:03:40: <Goatwright> Can we
1302402:03:40: <Rainglove> yeah saav, both of them are
1302502:03:42: <Goatwright> help?
1302602:03:47: <viejo> Can I throw this Javelin of Lightning at Tolay?
1302702:03:49: <Rainglove> rotter apparently did not expect quite this much resistance from tolay
1302802:03:54: <Goatwright> also she'd know who Rotter is by now
1302902:03:54: <Hippocratesi> it'd be real shitty of us to help either one
1303002:03:55: <Rainglove> of course you can interfere
1303102:03:59: <Goatwright> he worked for the town
1303202:04:07: <Benedict> "The dwarf is the former leader of the town. A very corrupt man."
1303302:04:12: <Hippocratesi> Tolay wasn't even EVIL man
1303402:04:15: <Hippocratesi> ;___;
1303502:04:26: <NachtRuine> Saav hops off the wagon and interferes. "Stop! Have you lost your minds?"
1303602:04:38: <Goatwright> Waakanti attempts to use Slumber on both of them.
1303702:04:40: <Goatwright> BRING OUT
1303802:04:44: <Goatwright> YER WIS ROLLS
1303902:04:52: <Goatwright> Will even
1304002:05:08: <Rainglove> >will saves on casters
1304102:05:17: <Goatwright> IT'S WORTH A SHOT
1304202:05:23: <Goatwright> IT'S NONVIOLENT AND I DON'T LOSE SPELLS
1304302:05:38: <Rainglove> 1d20+9 Tolay
1304402:05:38: <BEIGE> Rainglove: Tolay: 14 (1d20+9=5)
1304502:05:42: <Goatwright> kek
1304602:05:44: <Rainglove> 1d20+7 rotter
1304702:05:45: <BEIGE> Rainglove: rotter: 13 (1d20+7=6)
1304802:05:46: <Rainglove> well
1304902:05:47: <viejo> HAHA
1305002:05:48: <Goatwright> OH MY GOD
1305102:05:48: <Rainglove> there you go
1305202:05:48: <NachtRuine> WOW
1305302:05:52: <Goatwright> THEY BOTH FALL ASLEEP
1305402:05:57: <Rainglove> *thump*
1305502:06:11: <viejo> Qoja was initially somewhat surprised and serious, now she's just laughing.
1305602:06:15: <Benedict> "...Throw them both in the cart?"
1305702:06:25: <NachtRuine> Saav seems very confused. He looks back to the wagon. "Well, uh... That works."
1305802:06:35: <Goatwright> "I did that, sorry."
1305902:06:46: <Hippocratesi> "And take them where, exactly?"
1306002:06:53: <Rainglove> they're only asleep for 30 seconds
1306102:06:58: <viejo> "Well that's one way of getting around it, I'll give you that." She shoots half-giant a big grin.
1306202:07:09: <Rainglove> so
1306302:07:09: <Rainglove> and can't be slumbered again
1306402:07:11: <Rainglove> act fast
1306502:07:13: <viejo> "What do we do with them?"
1306602:07:17: <Rainglove> FAST
1306702:07:20: <viejo> I have silk rope
1306802:07:22: <Goatwright> "Get them into the cart."
1306902:07:29: <Goatwright> CAN WE DO THAT
1307002:07:30: <viejo> Qoja goes to wrap silk rope around their hands behind their backs.
1307102:07:31: <Goatwright> IN 30 SECONDS
1307202:07:38: <viejo> UNLESS THAT TAKES TOO LONG
1307302:07:43: <Rainglove> YOU CAN TIE THEM
1307402:07:47: <viejo> YEP
1307502:07:48: <Goatwright> Okay they are tied.
1307602:07:50: <viejo> she ties them both up
1307702:08:11: <Rainglove> They wake up. They both seem the tiniest bit irritated.
1307802:08:24: <Rainglove> From rotter: "The hell was that for?"
1307902:08:39: <Rainglove> Tolay seems about to say something, but just stays quiet. These fuggen faggots again.
1308002:08:50: <viejo> "Hey looked like you were taking a bit of a beating." She winks before becoming serious. "This is /not/ the time for this shit, you fucking idiots."
1308102:08:56: <Goatwright> "The town was just destroyed and you decide you need to fight."
1308202:08:57: <Benedict> "Can you -not- kill each other while there are DEMONS about to fly down on you?"
1308302:09:04: <Hippocratesi> Aeria hops off the camel or whatever they were god damn riding. "Now is not the time for your petty quarrels."
1308402:09:30: <NachtRuine> Saav was about to say something, but the rest of the party covered it pretty well.
1308502:11:06: <Goatwright> Also, Waakanti readies an action in case one of them does somethin' STUPID.
1308602:11:06: <NachtRuine> Well, just an addendum. "I know you two hate each other's guts with a burning passion. Save the fighting until /after/ you're safe."
1308702:11:30: <Rainglove> you have to pick one bruh
1308802:11:35: <Rainglove> when X does Y
1308902:12:12: <Goatwright> Okay, I ready an action for when Tolay breaks free?
1309002:12:21: <Goatwright> If/when
1309102:12:34: <viejo> Qoja is ready to trip Tolay.
1309202:14:04: <Rainglove> Rotter seems to be struggling to put coherent sentences together. "The coward ran from the fight! He could have stayed, could have helped people leave, but he ran! Could've gotten people killed for hi..." he continues
1309302:14:24: <Rainglove> sense motive wouldn't be horribly out of place here
1309402:14:44: <viejo> 1d20+12 sensu motu
1309502:14:44: <BEIGE> Viejo: sensu motu: 27 (1d20+12=15)
1309602:14:44: <NachtRuine> 1d20+14 don't lie to me
1309702:14:44: <BEIGE> NachtRuine: don't lie to me: 17 (1d20+14=3)
1309802:14:48: <Hippocratesi> 1d20+7 IS HE A-LYIN'?
1309902:14:48: <BEIGE> Hippocratesi: IS HE A-LYIN'?: 21 (1d20+7=14)
1310002:16:14: <BEIGE> Goatwright: MOTIVE SENSE: 16 (1d20+7=9)
1310102:16:14: <Goatwright> 1d20+7 MOTIVE SENSE
1310202:16:22: <Goatwright> Soap?
1310302:16:25: <Rainglove> Qoja, rotter's pissiness miiiiiiight tangentially possibly not entirely be related to tolay's very recent actions. Even though you weren't here for it, that one time tolay kept rotter and his group stuck up in a mountain pass nearly starving to death comes to mind.
1310402:16:56: <Rainglove> Tolay doesn't seem entirely innocent either, though your initial impressions make you doubt he would have picked a fight he could come so close to losing.
1310502:17:27: <viejo> "Rotter, please. I could tell when Tolay was talking shit and right now, I'm getting a similar kinda vibe off you. Was he actually runnin' or are you still sore from when he kept you away from the town?"
1310602:18:32: <Benedict> "Can we save these questions for -after- we're far away from the huge thing that was coming towards us? Because I don't feel like we're far away enough."
1310702:18:39: <viejo> I thought they were on the move?
1310802:18:47: <Rainglove> you just tied them up
1310902:18:50: <Rainglove> and are having a merry chat
1311002:18:59: <viejo> Okay well, she's now hurrying them along.
1311102:19:26: <Goatwright> THROW 'EM IN THE BACK.
1311202:20:01: <Benedict> THROW 'EM IN THE BACK AND GET THIS CART MOVING.
1311302:20:07: <Rainglove> INTO THE BACK THEY GO. "Of course he ran. Would you expect him to do anything less, snake that he is?"
1311402:20:30: <Rainglove> Tolay isn't denying anything, he's just staying there, just as mostly dead as rotter is
1311502:20:36: <NachtRuine> I am activating my inquisitor ability Discern Lies.
1311602:20:39: <Goatwright> Waakanti offers a few other civilians the back of the cart as well! Whoever can fit! Camels and mule are stronk!
1311702:20:46: <viejo> The wizard.
1311802:20:50: <Rainglove> The party wagon takes off
1311902:20:50: <viejo> Alban Fatmir.
1312002:20:58: <Rainglove> Tim the shoemaker
1312102:21:07: <Goatwright> "Please do not touch my things or fight in my cart."
1312202:21:20: <Goatwright> "I reserve the right to kick you out of my cart," he tells all the new passengers.
1312302:21:22: <Rainglove> Tim puts down waakanti's spare sandals
1312402:21:59: <Benedict> 2d6 Nurel thinks positive and heals Rotter
1312502:22:00: <BEIGE> Benedict: Nurel thinks positive and heals Rotter: 10 (2d6=4, 6)
1312602:22:04: <NachtRuine> "Snake or not snake, in-fighting is not an appropriate thing to do when you're running from the armies of hell."
1312702:22:07: <Benedict> 2d6 Nurel thinks positive and heals Tolay.
1312802:22:08: <BEIGE> Benedict: Nurel thinks positive and heals Tolay.: 2 (2d6=1, 1)
1312902:22:14: <Hippocratesi> gr8
1313002:22:15: <Benedict> Tolay is anti-positive.
1313102:22:20: <Rainglove> having trouble thinking positive nurel?
1313202:22:48: <Goatwright> Waakanti channels energy throughout the cart. EVERYBODY CAN USE HEALS. EVEN THE CIVVIES.
1313302:22:50: <Goatwright> 6d6
1313402:22:51: <BEIGE> Goatwright: 20 (6d6=3, 3, 1, 4, 3, 6)
1313502:22:57: <Goatwright> EVERYBODY GETS 20
1313602:23:03: <Rainglove> jesus waakanti
1313702:23:04: <Rainglove> calm down
1313802:23:05: <NachtRuine> "We don't want to see more people die."
1313902:23:07: <Goatwright> NO
1314002:23:10: <Goatwright> I AM BEING HELPFUL
1314102:23:26: <Goatwright> "There."
1314202:23:48: <Rainglove> "You're gonna see a whole lot more people die if you keep someone like /him/ around."
1314302:24:46: <NachtRuine> "Rotter, did you strike first in this little deathmatch?" Discern Lies means Saav knows when he lyin'.
1314402:25:51: <viejo> "Tell you what, Rotter. He starts acting up and we'll all deal with him."
1314502:26:02: <viejo> "Have you even got anythin' to /say/, Tolay?"
1314602:27:38: <Rainglove> Tolay shakes his head. "I doubt anything I can say would help me, being in the company that I am.
1314702:27:39: <Rainglove> "
1314802:28:06: <Rainglove> Rotter is not calmed. "I did, and you know as well as I did he had it coming."
1314902:29:28: <viejo> "Look Tolay, we want to make it out alive, with as many people as possible, and we haven't had reason to doubt Rotter in the past. We want to get everyone out alive. That's it. That's our stance. That's the stance of the "company" you're in."
1315002:29:39: <Goatwright> "Tolay, we are not going to hold past actions against you if you cooperate. Now is not the time for quarrels. It has been nearly a year. The town is gone. There is nothing to fight over."
1315102:29:56: <Goatwright> Waakanti gives Qoja UNDERSTANDING NODS for their agreeing.
1315202:30:31: <Goatwright> "Now does anybody know where we can drop off our load?"
1315302:30:42: <Goatwright> He looks back at the two and the rest of the civvies.
1315402:31:17: <viejo> She returns the nod. Right on.
1315502:31:36: <NachtRuine> "Even if I don't agree with things he's done, you can't just try to fight him. Not in this scenario, at least. If we weren't in the middle of evacuation, I'd say just call it an honorable duel and have at it. But we are, and we have better things to do than fight one another."
1315602:31:39: <viejo> you can drop off your load right on Tolay's stupid face
1315702:31:46: <Goatwright> gross
1315802:33:30: <Rainglove> Rotter sighs exasperatedly and glares at Tolay, then looks back at Waakanti. "My camp is still where it was. A few people stayed behind. Should be more than enough to accommodate these few."
1315902:35:26: <NachtRuine> He nods. "Alright. If I untie the two of you, will you save the fighting until after we get settled at the camp?"
1316002:35:56: <Goatwright> Waakanti thinks about this. "The outsiders are still in the mountains, but the outsider we encountered was a friend of the caster we met. So if the outsider was affiliated with these ones..." He HMMMS.
1316102:36:15: <Hippocratesi> "Do you think they were?"
1316202:36:25: <Goatwright> He then looks back to the rest of his council friends. "I would like to check, and possibly apologize for insulting them."
1316302:36:48: <Benedict> "Very well."
1316402:36:49: <Goatwright> The cart heads through the mountain pass!
1316502:38:25: <Rainglove> Tolay nods in response to Saav's question. Rotter eventually agrees. As you enter the pass, he directs you towards his camp. The road's out of the way, fairly well hidden behind a rockslide, but the cart manages to make it up.
1316602:38:59: <Benedict> Nurel looks out for any goblins that decided to stay in this shitty camp.
1316702:39:16: <Rainglove> You see a few people out and about in the camp. They seem to be prepared for you, somehow, and a cleric appears from inside, potions in-hand. He approaches the cart. "Is anyone injured?"
1316802:39:44: <Rainglove> you see a few, nurel. The race mix seems pretty even, barring dwarves.
1316902:40:08: <Benedict> "...Did you warn this camp of our arrival beforehand, Rotter? Or was it that man from days ago?"
1317002:40:35: <Rainglove> "I sent word after you started moving people out."
1317102:40:47: <Goatwright> "Good work."
1317202:41:22: <NachtRuine> Saav helps people off the cart, if they need the help. I presume Waakanti's crazy energies healed everyone up to tiptop shape.
1317302:42:05: <Benedict> Nurel is out of the cart. "Odd to come back here."
1317402:42:13: <Goatwright> Waakanti is crazy.
1317502:42:18: <Goatwright> CUHRAZY WAAKANTI.
1317602:42:22: <Goatwright> AND HIS MAGIC CAMEL CART
1317702:42:34: <NachtRuine> he's selling camels by the camel-ful
1317802:42:59: <Benedict> Nurel takes his mule away from this evil, spitting camels.
1317902:43:50: <Hippocratesi> Aeria hops off a camel. "I...suppose we stay here for now?"
1318002:44:17: <Goatwright> Waakanti makes sure the camels are okay and the cart is boarded up. "I'm going to go talk to the outsiders. If you wish you join me, you may. Rotter, I would recommend stationing people to watch toward the town. Please let me know if you see any other survivors."
1318102:44:40: <Rainglove> People are for the most part milling about. Rotter looks sideways at Aeria. "No offense, but... I'm not sure how much there really is for you types to do here. I handled this place before, I can manage again. Fewer people this time."
1318202:45:02: <Hippocratesi> Watchu lookin' sideways for?
1318302:45:19: <Rainglove> Waakanti, as you hand off your camels you spot someone who looks... /really/ suspiciously like that guard that got murdered a few weeks back.
1318402:45:21: <Rainglove> Like goddamn
1318502:45:34: <Goatwright> Nigga whaaaaaaaat.
1318602:45:36: <Rainglove> months, not weeks
1318702:45:40: <Goatwright> Waakanti casts Detect Magic all over him.
1318802:45:57: <Rainglove> aint's that some shapeshiftin' shit
1318902:45:57: <Hippocratesi> "Right. I understand."
1319002:46:19: <Goatwright> "Hold that thought, actually."
1319102:47:01: <Goatwright> Waakanti stomps over toward the shapeshifting little shit and physically lifts him into the air, giving him a few shakes for good measure.
1319202:47:43: <Rainglove> keep in mind that uh, this is one of the outsiders you were planning on talking to
1319302:48:09: <Goatwright> Yes but it's VERY INSULTING nonetheless.
1319402:48:19: <Goatwright> "Do not wear that face."
1319502:49:04: <Rainglove> The thing fades out of his hand and reappears a few feet away. "I have very few, unfortunately, and my standard appearance tends to draw attention."
1319602:49:54: <Goatwright> "You have drawn my attention with that one."
1319702:51:38: <Benedict> Nurel joins Waak. Hi,
1319802:51:38: <Goatwright> "I wish to speak with your leader."
1319902:51:38: <Goatwright> "If he is still alive."
1320002:53:29: <Rainglove> "I will tell him whatever you want him to know. You would not do well in our home."
1320102:54:45: <Benedict> Nurel looks to Waak, then nods to the outsider, mouthing, "Want me to try talking?"
1320202:56:13: <Goatwright> Waakanti exhales, and nods.
1320302:56:42: <Benedict> Nurel nods, then looks to the outsider. It's diplomacy time.
1320402:57:28: <Benedict> 1d20+10 "It would be better if we could either talk to him in his home or he comes out here to meet us, so we do not waste hours on you having to go back and forth to tell messages between our two parties." Nurel thinks positive as he talks.
1320502:57:28: <BEIGE> Benedict: "It would be better if we could either talk to him in his home or he comes out here to meet us, so we do not waste hours on you having to go back and forth to tell messages between our two parties." Nurel thinks positive as he talks.: 15 (1d20+10=5)
1320602:57:37: <Benedict> Nurel's positive thinking is being hurt by Tolay's presence.
1320702:58:03: <Rainglove> "What is it that you wish to discuss with him?"
1320802:58:52: <Benedict> It didn't work, it seems. Sorry, Waak. Nurel lets Waak handle the message.
1320903:00:24: <Goatwright> "We wish to discuss the situation regarding the town, these demons, and our mutual enemy."
1321003:01:20: <Rainglove> "We don't wish to deal with the demons, either on friendly terms or as their enemies."
1321103:07:15: <Goatwright> "I believe it would be in your best interest to repay the debt of killing our guards and not coming to warn us, nor apologize, sooner."
1321203:07:26: <Goatwright> "Six months passed."
1321303:08:01: <viejo> Qoja has gone off to, gosp, meditate.
1321403:09:54: <Rainglove> The outsider doesn't seem concerned. "They will reform, eventually, with us. I cannot return them to mortal life. As for warning you, we had no knowledge until very recently."
1321503:10:05: <NachtRuine> Saav internally reflects. While not surface level about his emotion, he's super mad about demons fucking up his jurisdiction of law.
1321603:10:46: <Benedict> Nurel rubs his hands together as the demon and Waak talk. Will the Goblin Town be okay? That demon might head there. Maybe he should have sent his people elsewhere.
1321703:11:00: <Rainglove> it's further from the town then you are now.
1321803:11:05: <Rainglove> although much less hidden.
1321903:11:11: <Rainglove> but it should be fine for now, hopefully.
1322003:11:11: <Hippocratesi> Aeria's quite upset. She's also covered in rotting flesh and chunks of antipaladin. Also Novit is destroyed and most likely a good number of people died. I gotta say, today was a good day.
1322103:11:22: <Benedict> >Hopefully
1322203:11:26: <Benedict> Hand rubbing intensifies.
1322303:12:51: <Goatwright> "You cannot simply turn a blind eye to this."
1322403:13:11: <Goatwright> "If anything, unless you, too, plan on fleeing, they will no doubt spread through the pass to the town over."
1322503:16:11: <Rainglove> "We have hid from them for a very long time, and we have become very good at it. Your concern is solely for your mortal life, and the lives of those you feel responsible for. While I may be forced to render my assistance, my companions will likely not feel any great pressure to follow me."
1322603:16:56: <Goatwright> "Any assistance is assistance enough."
1322703:17:40: <Rainglove> "The assistance of a single stranger to your plane, unwilling as I am, will not affect much."
1322803:19:06: <Goatwright> "It is one more than the five of us here. In that scale, it means a great deal."
1322903:19:40: <Goatwright> Man this outsider is a CUNT
1323003:20:13: <Rainglove> k planes pls
1323103:20:20: <Rainglove> just waakanti
1323203:21:31: <Goatwright> 1d20+4 time to want to die
1323303:21:31: <BEIGE> Goatwright: time to want to die: 23 (1d20+4=19)
1323403:21:35: <Goatwright> FUCKING
1323503:21:35: <Goatwright> EVERY
1323603:21:36: <Goatwright> TMIE
1323703:21:50: <Rainglove> HE'S BEEN BOUND BY THAT CASTER GUY FAGGOT
1323803:21:57: <Rainglove> HE /HAS/ TO HELP YOU
1323903:22:20: <Goatwright> That's bretty fuggin neat.
1324003:22:22: <Rainglove> HE BARELY UNDERSTANDS WHAT MORTAL LIFE EVEN IS, HE IS ENDLESSLY REINCARNATED AS A BEING OF SHADOW AND EVIL
1324103:24:22: <Goatwright> Well alright, that is useful information. "If your master has bound you to help us, can he not do the same with the others?"
1324203:24:25: <Rainglove> He probably doesn't even understand that his murdering those people had permanent consequences
1324303:25:10: <Rainglove> He clearly doesn't like the whole master thing. "He cannot hold many of us at once. We wouldn't allow it, and those I serve would take notice."
1324403:26:23: <Goatwright> Did Waakanti roll high enough to understand the concept of binding-by-name?
1324503:27:23: <Rainglove> that is not what this is but uh
1324603:27:25: <Rainglove> sure?
1324703:28:01: <Goatwright> Oh okay
1324803:28:03: <Goatwright> Well ne'ermind then
1324903:28:31: <Goatwright> "Is he offering only your help?"
1325003:29:07: <Rainglove> "I am sure he would offer his own assistance if he had the time, but he is distracted by mortal affairs and his own desire to burn for eternity."
1325103:30:46: <Benedict> "Guess you two make great friends." Nurel refers to the bound demon and the one who bound him.
1325203:30:56: <Goatwright> Waakanti nods. "To what extent are you to help us?"
1325303:33:16: <Rainglove> "I am to carry messages I deem reasonable to my kind, and am to offer more general assistance in times of great need. I will not sacrifice my own current form for you."
1325403:34:03: <Benedict> Nurel leaves Waak with the outsider. "Don't mind me. Just going to seek some answers." And by seek answers, Nurel means talk to his god to figure out: 1. Why no warning about those fucking demons under his town and 2. What he should do now. Continue unite goblin objective or something else.
1325503:35:29: <Goatwright> Waakanti nods again as Nurel goes off. "Very well, then. Do you have a title to address you as?"
1325603:38:19: <Rainglove> He shakes his head. "None that I will share. If you need me, I will not be far."
1325703:39:03: <Rainglove> Demons gonna demon, nurel. Can't help it. And your goblins are still relatively united, if not under you.
1325803:39:49: <Benedict> But there are more goblins or did the magic apoc basically wipe out most every tribe except for the ones Nurel found?
1325903:39:57: <Benedict> Flinz is currently rotting in town. Because he ded, nigga.
1326003:40:11: <NachtRuine> rip in pepperoni flinz
1326104:14:11: <Rainglove> A dwarf taps Saav from behind.
1326204:15:17: <NachtRuine> Saav turns about, as he was probably sitting down. "Hello. Do you require assistance?"
1326304:18:54: <Rainglove> It's one of the soldiers from the town. He hands Saav a greataxe, probably the heaviest goddamn weapon he's ever held. "One 'o the demons grabbed him. Didn't have any family we know of, and you're his immediate superior, so his axe goes to you." He pauses. "I'm... not sure what he would want done with it."
1326404:19:10: <Benedict> Nurel repeats his last question to his god.
1326504:20:22: <Rainglove> On closer inspection, the haft of the axe has the crest of Novit on it, and the edges along the blades are inlaid with silver inscriptions, at first glance it seems to be a dwarven account of direct ancestry. The names trail down the haft, stopping about halfway. A very well made weapon.
1326604:22:22: <Rainglove> Nurel, it's not that there are no more goblins, it's that they're not as in immediate danger of extinction as they were. They're in about as solid a position as they can be expected to be. There are more important jobs for a gestalt than further securing their position.
1326704:22:48: <Benedict> Good enough for Nurel, then. What else does Ulinazi want him to do? Besides the obvious.
1326804:23:09: <Rainglove> well the damn demons seem like a place to start
1326904:23:34: <Rainglove> your god of lawfulness and goodness would rather not see the material plane overrun with demonic hordes
1327004:23:42: <Hippocratesi> Aeria's w-walkin' around I guess.
1327104:23:57: <Goatwright> look at dat ass
1327204:24:14: <NachtRuine> He heaves a little bit upon holding the greataxe, but manages to hold it. He has a solemn face as he examines the greataxe. "If only I were the sort who might wield this." He looks in the general direction that Novit is. "I will keep it, until the day we take back Novit."
1327304:24:23: <Hippocratesi> That scorpion is still in her armor
1327404:24:31: <Hippocratesi> maybe
1327504:24:38: <NachtRuine> He looks back to the dwarf. "I thank you for your service, and only wish I could've done more."
1327604:25:43: <Rainglove> The dwarf nods. "Better'n dying of old age. Whenever you start thinkin' of heading back there... we'll be here."
1327704:26:19: <Benedict> Nurel did say "besides the obvious".
1327804:26:48: <Rainglove> Aeria that outsider approaches you, the one looking like that nicely murdered guard you had several months back.
1327904:27:04: <NachtRuine> He nods. "It won't be any time soon. But Abadar as my witness, I will return or die trying."
1328004:27:07: <Benedict> What an asshole.
1328104:27:40: <Hippocratesi> Aeria nearly vomits at the stench of evil. "What do you want?"
1328204:27:52: <Rainglove> The dwarf nods one more time, eyes the last name on the axe, then turns and departs.
1328304:28:19: <NachtRuine> Saav looks at said last name upon the axe, wondering why he eyed it.
1328404:29:59: <Rainglove> The outsider is oblivious. "I believe I will be spending a great deal of the next few weeks in your company, or relatively near it. I was wondering if I might negotiate your not shooting me the next time we interact. I would prefer not to destroy anything else while evading you."
1328504:30:35: <Rainglove> Saav, it's the captain of the guard's name, presumably, but you don't read dwarvish (I think).
1328604:30:56: <Goatwright> ;_; Oh no
1328704:31:37: <Hippocratesi> Aeria makes a face. "What do you mean? /You/ are traveling with us?"
1328804:32:08: <Goatwright> Waakanti PHASES INTO EXISTENCE behind her. The scorpion moves about in her armor. "Yes."
1328904:32:29: <Rainglove> "Not with you, necessarily. In your general vicinity. It would be foolish to expect our paths not to intersect at some point, and it is possible I will not be able to perfectly conceal myself at some point."
1329004:32:39: <NachtRuine> Nah, who do you think I am, a gara character? That said, his grip tightens upon it, and his anger flares for a moment before regaining his composure. "I must have more power before I can return."
1329104:32:47: <Benedict> Nurel is getting all the answers he's getting, it seems. "<At least I got most of them united. Gonna need to deal with the rest -after- this demon thing.>" He sighs like a man tired of his 9-5 job. "<I just want to go home.>" Oh well, back to the group. Hi, Saav!
1329204:33:10: <Rainglove> Saav's acquired a very nice greataxe.
1329304:33:39: <NachtRuine> He looks to Nurel. "Ah. Hello."
1329404:33:58: <Benedict> "I didn't take you for axes."
1329504:35:07: <NachtRuine> "I don't take to them. This is the axe of the captain of the guard." He looks down to it. In a more solemn tone, he says, "He didn't make it."
1329604:36:22: <Hippocratesi> Aeria is quite startled at the giant's stealthy appearance. And the creepy crawly in her armor. She glances at Waakanti and then back at the outsider. "I will hold my blade for now but if I see you doing /anything/ funny, I assure you that you won't have the chance to do it twice." She then turns back to Waakanti and taps the spot where the scorpion.
1329704:36:36: <Hippocratesi> "I kept your friend safe, now...please take him back."
1329804:37:24: <Benedict> Of course he did. "We saved as many as we could. We'll honor when when Novit can be reclaimed." Nurel looks at the name on the axe. Written in Dwarven. Due to Nurel's past of having to always deal with shiteating dwarves, could a linguistics roll help Nurel figure out the name?
1329904:37:35: <Rainglove> roll it bruh
1330004:37:45: <Benedict> 1d20+1 Let's think positive!
1330104:37:46: <BEIGE> Benedict: Let's think positive!: 7 (1d20+1=6)
1330204:37:48: <Benedict> Nope.
1330304:37:50: <Rainglove> nope
1330404:38:01: <Benedict> "Maybe Tolay can tell us if he isn't having a mood."
1330504:38:13: <NachtRuine> 1d20+5 hey if he can roll so can i
1330604:38:13: <BEIGE> NachtRuine: hey if he can roll so can i: 15 (1d20+5=10)
1330704:38:21: <Goatwright> "Ah, yes. Come, Oko." Waakanti holds his hand out, and the scorpion crawls onto it and finds its way into his cloak. "She says you are a strong fighter."
1330804:38:48: <Rainglove> nope
1330904:38:54: <Benedict> Dwarven is hard.
1331004:39:06: <Rainglove> base DC is 20 for simple foreign languages
1331104:39:32: <NachtRuine> mkay.
1331204:39:59: <Hippocratesi> Aeria wonders how the hell he can tell if it's female or not. "Uhm, tell her I said 'thank you' then."
1331304:40:22: <NachtRuine> Saav looks to Nurel. "Do you expect he'd do that for us?"
1331404:40:23: <Goatwright> Obviously she could TELL HIM.
1331504:40:38: <Goatwright> "She heard. How are you feeling?"
1331604:40:47: <Hippocratesi> Well EXCUUUUSE ME
1331704:41:43: <Benedict> "It seems innocent enough. If not, we can write down the symbols and ask some other dwarf we find on the road." Nurel goes to find Tolay.
1331804:41:59: <Hippocratesi> Aeria's taken aback at his concern. "I've had better days. Yourself?"
1331904:42:45: <NachtRuine> Saav stands, the greataxe showing its weight. He holds the axe on his shoulder as he joins Nurel in the search for Tolay.
1332004:43:36: <Rainglove> He's near the clerics, watching people enter and exit. He eyes Saav as he approaches, and notes the greataxe, but doesn't comment.
1332104:43:48: <Goatwright> He seems oblivious to this surprise or the strangeness of his actions. "I am conflicted, personally."
1332204:44:44: <Hippocratesi> "Over what? This business with those outsiders?"
1332304:45:39: <NachtRuine> "The captain of the guard did not make it. This is his axe. Would you read for us his name, so we can commemorate him for his service properly?"
1332404:45:58: <Goatwright> "What to do now."
1332504:47:27: <Hippocratesi> Aeria finds herself worried over the same thing. "I suppose we're back to where we all started- wandering."
1332604:47:45: <Hippocratesi> "There's no hopes of taking back Novit, not yet."
1332704:47:56: <Rainglove> Tolay doesn't take the axe. "His name was Gavin."
1332804:48:17: <Benedict> "Last name?"
1332904:49:03: <Goatwright> "I think I may return to my previous quest."
1333004:49:30: <Hippocratesi> "Oh...you'll be leaving us then?"
1333104:50:00: <Goatwright> "Are you disappointed?"
1333204:50:16: <Goatwright> He gives her something of a smile.
1333304:50:58: <Hippocratesi> Aeria frowns a bit. "I have to admit I am. It was only a day or so ago that we learned your name."
1333404:52:21: <Rainglove> "Oldheart. A good family."
1333504:53:02: <Benedict> "Was he the last of his family? Did he have any family members outside of Novit?"
1333604:53:09: <NachtRuine> "Gavin Oldheart." Saav commits it to memory.
1333704:53:53: <Rainglove> "None that live, that I know of. A son that went missing in the blast. He may be alive somewhere, but I haven't heard anything."
1333804:55:13: <Benedict> Nurel finds a new quest for the group, it seems. Nurel looks to Saav to see if he's thinking what Nurel's thinking.
1333904:56:14: <NachtRuine> He looks to Nurel. The two are thinking the same thing. "We will look for him. Wouldn't be right to keep a father's axe from being delivered to his son."
1334004:57:12: <Goatwright> "I have an obligation to my people first. Being with the town gave me an opportunity to continue my work, but without it I must set off on my own."
1334104:59:48: <Rainglove> Tolay looks back towards the clerics. "I don't know where you would start looking. Perhaps our old stronghold, but if you find him there he won't be in any condition to receive that axe."
1334205:01:12: <Hippocratesi> "...I understand. When do you plan to leave?"
1334305:01:50: <Benedict> Nurel activate positive thinking. "I think we'll find him well, and perhaps we can bring him here so you can tell him about how his father died to protect thousands from a demon invasion." Nurel looks in the general direction of the dwarven city. "You came from there? What is that place called. Everytime I look at it, I feel like its the same one my people
1334405:01:51: <NachtRuine> "I intend to search everywhere I've sent people. While I don't have the records of who went where anymore, I have places I can try for." He looks back to Tolay. "How well did you know Gavin?"
1334505:01:56: <Benedict> used to fight against."
1334605:04:36: <Rainglove> "Ironreach. A great citadel, in its time, but I don't believe we ever had conflicts with goblins."
1334705:04:52: <Rainglove> "We were well acquainted. Why?"
1334805:05:47: <Goatwright> "Don't sound so disappointed. I doubt our paths won't cross again. And when I am done, perhaps we can take back the town."
1334905:06:23: <Goatwright> "As for when I go, I suppose when most convenient."
1335005:07:08: <Benedict> "Yeah, my people never bothered with an Ironreach. Guess you dwarves all just build the same."
1335105:07:33: <NachtRuine> "Simply curious."
1335205:09:18: <Hippocratesi> "Goodbyes aren't the easiest thing for me." Aeria shifts a bit. "I feel a bit silly actually...we've barely known each other a year."
1335305:11:14: <Benedict> KISS THE GIRL.
1335405:11:51: <Benedict> "Well, sorry to bother you, Tolay, and apologies we couldn't protect the town and what assets you had in there. If we ever do visit Ironreach, is there anything you'd like us to look for in there?"
1335505:12:36: <Rainglove> "I brought everything that mattered to me to Novit. Thank you, though."
1335605:13:01: <Benedict> At least Nurel tries to be nice. Turn, leave the dwarf be.
1335705:13:15: <NachtRuine> With that, Saav offers a bow and takes his leave.
1335805:13:25: <Goatwright> "I appreciate that knowing me has meant this much to you." Waakanti gives her a genuine smile, which looks a bit crooked and too wide. Maybe he doesn't smile for a reason. "Do not consider it a goodbye. Consider it as until we meet again. We are long-living, our people. We have the time."
1335905:14:17: <Rainglove> Tolay doesn't make any move to follow you.
1336005:15:25: <Benedict> What an asshole.
1336105:16:55: <NachtRuine> Saav looks to Nurel. "That will be our first order of business then? To check the old stronghold?"
1336205:19:08: <Hippocratesi> "Knowing all of you means a lot to me. You took me in when you didn't have to. We achieved much together in such a short time."
1336305:19:21: <Benedict> "No. I'm not the leader of this group, so I'm not going to push anyone in any direction. Everyone else can make a suggestion about where to go. First real order of business, though, should be helping this camp a bit so they can survive here. It's still winter."
1336405:19:48: <Hippocratesi> "And I suppose you're right. With the world like this, our paths are sure to cross again. Sooner or later."
1336505:21:01: <NachtRuine> "Of course."
1336605:21:18: <Benedict> KISS THE GIRL.
1336705:22:16: <Benedict> Nurel sighs. "First few days are going to be awful. I was too used to being lazy in the town hall. Living off the land is going to be a pain." Oh wait, Nurel has that ring from before, so no food problems here, boss.
1336805:22:29: <Hippocratesi> GROSS, GIANT LIPS.
1336905:23:45: <NachtRuine> And Saav has a high enough Survival skill as well as spells. "I thought you were working that entire time."
1337005:25:30: <Benedict> "I was, but I got to sit on a chair with cushions, with a large fire to keep away the cold, and had water readily available."
1337105:28:27: <NachtRuine> He nods. "True enough."
13372
13373 2014-11-13
13374
13375
1337623:21:12: <Goatwright> Pasquale shrugs again! "Like I said, I only met 'im a few days ago."
1337723:21:16: <NachtRuine> "I did not originally have that concern, but now as you bring it up, let us check to be safe." He moves on with his patrol.
1337823:21:34: <Goatwright> Pasquale gets up off his fat ass and follows after.
1337923:21:43: <Hippocratesi> Aeria f-follows.
1338023:22:01: <viejo> Kye is still entertaining the children.
1338123:22:10: <viejo> What a swell guy.
1338223:22:57: <NachtRuine> Saav stumbles upon this scene of children being entertained. He looks back to the others. "Well, either he's a gentleman thief, or he's no thief at all."
1338323:23:26: <Hippocratesi> "Hm."
1338423:23:47: <Goatwright> "I never said I saw him steal anythin'."
1338523:23:58: <viejo> 1d20-1
1338623:23:58: <BEIGE> Viejo: 3 (1d20-1=4)
1338723:24:05: <viejo> Kye is oblivious to such conversations.
1338823:25:11: <NachtRuine> Saav approaches Kye, calling out to him as he does. "Keeping the children entertained, I see?"
1338923:26:03: <viejo> It takes a few seconds before he swivels around. "Guess so."
1339023:26:30: <viejo> Kye turns and begins to leave, but the children respond angrily. Kye's expression is blank and then a light flicks on and he flicks a coin back at them. They look at the coin then back to Kye, still angry. Another, brighter light flicks on, and Kye flicks two more coins back to them. They appear content and leave.
1339123:28:12: <NachtRuine> "I trust the accommodations have been acceptable?"
1339223:28:51: <viejo> "Just fine, between that rock over there and this rock over here, I've been spoilt for choice." He winks.
1339323:30:04: <NachtRuine> Whether the joke went over his head or not, he doesn't react. "If you don't mind my asking, how did you come to meet Pasquale?"
1339423:30:37: <Goatwright> "Does he do this often?" He looks to Aeria.
1339523:32:05: <Hippocratesi> "I...guess. He's mainly business."
1339623:32:30: <Hippocratesi> "But he's a valuable asset to our group. I wouldn't trade him for anyone else."
1339723:32:38: <viejo> "After Sir Pasquale here engaged in gas warfare with the noble punks at the bar, I got dragged into an 'honourable duel to the death' against a couple of trolls."
1339823:32:44: <viejo> "I say 'dragged' but really, I had a good time."
1339923:34:33: <NachtRuine> He nods. "I take it he came to your aid when the duel occurred? Or was it you who aided him in the bar fight?"
1340023:35:33: <viejo> "We were both game. They even wanted us to sign /forms/. Ha."
1340123:35:37: <Goatwright> "What makes him so useful?"
1340223:37:15: <NachtRuine> Saav mentally frowns. "A good match for partners, then." He does his best to hide his disgust towards the chaotic.
1340323:37:44: <Hippocratesi> "He's...very professional? He did well with managing Novit."
1340423:38:13: <Hippocratesi> "Alongside Nurel, who you haven't quite met yet."
1340523:38:50: <viejo> "At least he's interesting, I'll give him that. Where else are you going to find a baby-elephant rampage like he does?"
1340623:39:24: <Goatwright> "Managing? So what, y'ran the town?"
1340723:39:47: <NachtRuine> "Perhaps a zoo?" Half joke, half serious, half dig at Pasquale.
1340823:40:24: <Goatwright> "I heard that, y'ape-faced half-orc!"
1340923:40:48: <Hippocratesi> "We all did."
1341023:41:36: <NachtRuine> "I know you heard it."
1341123:42:54: <NachtRuine> Saav isn't down for name-calling. Not without a little tact about it.
1341223:43:59: <viejo> "Ha, right. With signs of "no petting, will bite.""
1341323:46:33: <NachtRuine> A smirk. He notes the position of the Sun. "While I'd like to stay and talk more, I should complete my patrols." He offers a nod to Kye and Aeria, then continues his walk.
1341423:47:38: <viejo> "So, have you fallen prey to the sheer overwhelming force that is Pasquale's charm yet?"
1341523:48:06: <Hippocratesi> Aeria chuckles. "There's no charm to be found there. He can keep dreaming."
1341623:49:02: <Goatwright> "Bah! I'm plenty charming. There's just no point in charmin' an iceberg."
1341723:49:04: <viejo> "Oh, bad choice of words. Dreaming of what, I wonder." He winks.
1341823:51:39: <Hippocratesi> "I'm not some tavern wench, Pasquale. Does your 'charm' come from you giving them drink?"
1341923:52:32: <viejo> "If he can resist the temptation to chug the thing himself."
1342023:54:27: <Goatwright> He looks a bit annoyed. "S'awful rude to call strangers such names when y'ain't ever met 'em. It's a woman's choice who she lays with."
1342123:55:07: <Goatwright> "I don't gotta get 'im drunk. Some women just ain't got frozen hearts."
1342223:55:36: <viejo> "Hey no need to pout, it's all fun and games, relax. I don't think... What's your name again?"
1342323:59:41: <Hippocratesi> "My heart is all but frozen, Pasquale."
13424
13425 2014-11-14
13426
13427
1342800:01:32: <Hippocratesi> "And I'm Aeria. You're Kye, right?"
1342900:02:04: <Goatwright> "I can tell. Must be an Aasimar thing."
1343000:05:59: <viejo> "That's right, Kye it is. I don't think Aeria here is the kind of woman to fall for short-term flirting, Pasquale. I imagine she's somewhat occupied with the destruction of Novit, as well."
1343100:08:12: <Hippocratesi> "I'm also not interested in drunks."
1343200:10:56: <viejo> "Drunk is a harsh word for such a jolly man. A merry man who enjoys a drink, no harm in that, is there?"
1343300:12:11: <Goatwright> "It's a religious thing, after all."
1343400:15:08: <viejo> "This that Drunken Fist you were talking about?"
1343500:17:48: <Goatwright> "Sort of! I learned it from a religious covenant, which I myself was a part of for a bit."
1343600:20:10: <Goatwright> "What about you, kid? You've got some skills yourself, for a youngin'."
1343700:21:30: <viejo> "What about me? Any specifics just ask away."
1343800:22:05: <Goatwright> "Where'd you learn the ol' shoot-an'-punch? You don't see too many folks with guns, let alone folks who're good with 'em."
1343900:23:16: <viejo> Pasquale seems to have forgotten Kye telling the other two the gun wasn't real as a means of lessening worry. He sighs. "Pretty standard stuff, really. Fell in with a bad crowd, got lucky."
1344000:23:49: <Goatwright> He's shot with it while they fought.
1344100:24:00: <viejo> >telling the other two
1344200:24:07: <Goatwright> Oh.
1344300:24:13: <Goatwright> Well yes, it's like him to miss that.
1344400:24:24: <viejo> It's okay Pasqualesenpai.
1344500:24:50: <Goatwright> "Well, least it made ya useful."
1344600:25:39: <viejo> "Surprisingly so, in fact. No one expects either of them. Surprise can be the greatest weapon sometimes, you know. Catch someone off-guard and they can be yours for the taking."
1344700:26:16: <Goatwright> "My body tends to do the same, haha!" He shakes his big ol' gut.
1344800:26:45: <Goatwright> "What about you, doll-faced-ice-queen? Can you really use that sword of yours?"
1344900:27:23: <Hippocratesi> Aeria looks slightly offended. "Yes...?"
1345000:27:36: <viejo> "One doesn't eat at all and one likes too much pie, the devastating duo; Pasquale and Kye." He winks.
1345100:39:44: <viejo> Kye's rhyme has killed the rp.
1345200:40:02: <viejo> 1d20 has it?
1345300:40:02: <BEIGE> Viejo: has it?: 11 (1d20=11)
1345423:30:41: <Hippocratesi> jesus fucking christ
1345523:30:51: <Hippocratesi> WHO INVITED HIM
1345623:30:55: <Hippocratesi> YOU SAID HE WOULDN'T SHOW UP
1345723:31:05: <Hippocratesi> BENNY, WAS IT YOU?
1345823:31:13: <Hippocratesi> GOD ALMIGHTY
1345923:31:15: <Benedict> THE GROUP HAD EARLIER DECIDED TO GO CLEAR OUT DWARF PLACE. "We should leave soon. Sooner we claim it, the better."
1346023:31:32: <Goatwright> "Do we get a cut of whatever's inside?"
1346123:31:59: <Hippocratesi> "Who's to say we claim it today? There's no telling what's in there."
1346223:32:15: <Goatwright> "Say, if ya do, then."
1346323:32:44: <NachtRuine> "If you'd be aiding us in clearing it out, then yes."
1346423:32:57: <Goatwright> "Then I'm up. You up, boy?"
1346523:37:02: <Benedict> VIEJO, ARE YOU UP, BOY?
1346623:37:28: <viejo> He gently shrugs. "Guess I'm up too."
1346723:38:39: <Benedict> Nurel goes to find TOLAY in order to learn the quickest and safest path to the dwarf mountain.
1346823:40:09: <Hippocratesi> we could just walk towards it
1346923:40:24: <NachtRuine> (what are we, scrubs)
1347023:40:24: <Rainglove> TOLAY is hanging out around the clerics still. People have been trickling in over the last week, though there was a huge influx on the day Novit went bang. You get DIRECTIONS of a RATHER SPECIFIC NATURE.
1347123:40:45: <Hippocratesi> 'just walk at it you fucking stupid goblin jesus christ'
1347223:41:16: <Rainglove> it's y'know, that way, and then the other way, and then there's a rock that looks like george the armorsmith's thumb (you know, the weird lumpy one he hit with a hammer), and then you just go straight for a while
1347323:41:17: <Benedict> NUREL returns to GROUP to give them the DIRECTIONS of a RATHER SPECIFIC NATURE.
1347423:41:47: <Goatwright> PASQUALE makes a CRUDE COMMENT and promptly DRINKS.
1347523:42:06: <NachtRuine> SAAVOU then takes the GROUP in the DIRECTIONS of a RATHER SPECIFIC NATURE.
1347623:42:39: <Hippocratesi> can we fucking get there god damn fucking dwarf fortresses and their dumb ass roads
1347723:43:00: <Goatwright> Is the entrance pretty?
1347823:43:21: <viejo> KYE forgets someone's NAME and CAPITAL LETTERS
1347923:43:36: <Rainglove> AD LIB: DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS
1348023:45:35: <Rainglove> You eventually ARRIVE at the ENTRANCE to the DWARF STRONGHOLD. A strong AURA of EVIL emanates from within. ASSORTED UNDEAD are visible withing, doing THEIR THING.
1348123:46:15: <viejo> Auras of evil? Who would've thought it.
1348223:46:31: <Benedict> Define: AURA. Define: EVIL.
1348323:46:54: <Hippocratesi> "Clean up here or ignore them for now?"
1348423:47:20: <Goatwright> "Well, we need to go in, don't we?"
1348523:48:50: <Rainglove> The entrance is impressive, if not massive. Ornate stone doors sit at the top of a trail that winds up the side of the mountain. Occasional undead are visible in the area, though most of them are just milling about minding their own business.
1348623:49:48: <Benedict> "Could kill them, but whatever is inside will know we're here. Could sneak past them, and if we kill whatever controls them, we can erase them."
1348723:50:04: <Hippocratesi> "It's up to you, Saavou."
1348823:50:19: <Goatwright> Can I roll History to see if I know about the place at all?
1348923:50:40: <Rainglove> sure
1349023:51:10: <Goatwright> 1d20+8 Hrk
1349123:51:10: <Dados> Goatwright, Hrk: 15 [1d20=7]
1349223:51:21: <NachtRuine> "I don't expect everyone is able to sneak as well as you can, Nurel. Surprise isn't exactly on our side."
1349323:51:47: <Benedict> "Then we'll attack. Just give the word."
1349423:53:25: <NachtRuine> 1d20+5 owait i have history too
1349523:53:25: <Dados> NachtRuine, owait i have history too: 8 [1d20=3]
1349623:53:31: <Rainglove> You've heard of this place, but only distantly. The dwarves were fairly secluded folk, especially before the apocalyptic WOOSH, and they largely kept to themselves. You know Ironreach was known for trade, especially in finished works of valuable materials. Gold statues and necklaces and the like.
1349723:53:32: <NachtRuine> nvm
1349823:53:48: <Rainglove> Saav they exported large numbers of dwarven noses to the world.
1349923:54:02: <NachtRuine> Noses? Weird.
1350023:54:02: <Rainglove> Anything more than that pasquale, you dunno
1350123:54:07: <Goatwright> "So, how many people've been up and about here?"
1350223:54:43: <Benedict> Did Ironreach sell soap statues?
1350323:55:06: <viejo> 1d20-1 perception
1350423:55:06: <Dados> Viejo, perception: 0 [1d20=1]
1350523:55:13: <Benedict> You lost your nose.
1350623:55:15: <Benedict> Permanently.
1350723:55:46: <NachtRuine> "Dunno. It doesn't matter right now, though." Saav pulls out his crossbow and loads it. How many undead are there?
1350823:56:18: <Benedict> Nurel quickly loads his raifu.
1350923:57:10: <Rainglove> Not terribly many out here. Maybe 10-15, very spread out.
1351023:57:46: <Goatwright> "We'll have to make a visit to the town market center, then."
13511
13512
13513 2014-11-15
13514
13515
1351600:00:04: <NachtRuine> "Nothing special. Let's just do it." Saav lines up his shot on an undead.
1351700:00:25: <Rainglove> rrrrrroll
1351800:00:28: <Rainglove> just to hit
1351900:00:45: <Goatwright> "I wouldn't say that. Ironreach was known for it's tradin', don't'cha know?"
1352000:00:54: <Goatwright> Pasquale extends his MIGHTY HAMMER.
1352100:01:12: <NachtRuine> 1d20+6 bang pow deadly aim
1352200:01:12: <Dados> NachtRuine, bang pow deadly aim: 12 [1d20=6]
1352300:01:37: <Rainglove> you hit their AC of 10
1352400:01:38: <Rainglove> barely
1352500:01:47: <Dados> Benedict, Hit one: 22 [1d20=12]
1352600:01:47: <Benedict> 1d20+10 Hit one
1352700:01:48: <NachtRuine> 1d8+4 dmg
1352800:01:48: <Dados> NachtRuine, dmg: 10 [1d8=6]
1352900:01:51: <Benedict> 1d20+10 Hit two.
1353000:01:51: <Dados> Benedict, Hit two.: 21 [1d20=11]
1353100:01:57: <Rainglove> you all commit genocide
1353200:02:46: <Rainglove> Undead go bang
1353300:03:09: <Benedict> Yaaay. All gone now?
1353400:03:18: <Rainglove> THE LAND HAS BEEN PURIFIED
1353500:03:47: <Goatwright> Insert Final Fantasy victory music.
1353600:04:09: <NachtRuine> Saav goes to retrieves his bolts. They're probably going to smell of rotten flesh. Disgusting.
1353700:04:51: <Benedict> Nurel cannot retrieve his bullets. Sadness. "Well, shall we go inside?"
1353800:05:29: <NachtRuine> With a squish he pulls out the last bolt. "Let's."
1353900:05:39: <Rainglove> The door stands before you.
1354000:05:41: <Rainglove> It is a door.
1354100:05:54: <Rainglove> The handle is clearly visible, with no odd arcane inscriptions nearby.
1354200:06:38: <Benedict> This feels like a trap.
1354300:06:51: <Goatwright> Somebody detect magiiiic
1354400:06:52: <Rainglove> perception?
1354500:07:01: <Goatwright> 1d20+8 Or Perception
1354600:07:02: <Dados> Goatwright, Or Perception: 24 [1d20=16]
1354700:07:16: <NachtRuine> Saav casts sift.
1354800:07:17: <Dados> Benedict, Let's think positive!: 10 [1d20=2]
1354900:07:17: <Benedict> 1d20+8 Let's think positive!
1355000:07:20: <NachtRuine> 1d20+9 sift
1355100:07:20: <Dados> NachtRuine, sift: 27 [1d20=18]
1355200:07:21: <Benedict> No positive today.
1355300:07:30: <Hippocratesi> Aeria detects magic.
1355400:07:40: <Rainglove> yeah, it's
1355500:07:42: <Rainglove> just a door
1355600:08:09: <Benedict> Well, okay. Nurel will be the first to head inside, gun ready.
1355700:09:15: <NachtRuine> Saav's right behind him.
1355800:09:42: <Rainglove> It's dark as shit nigga. Hope someone brought Light. Or torches. Nurel, assuming goblins get darkvision, sees a rather long and tall hallfway, lined with statues of what you'd guess are old dwarven leaders. The odd undead litter the hallway. Some of them turn to watch you as you enter, but for the most part they just wander.
1355900:09:50: <Rainglove> If you want to murder them all just do it their AC is shit
1356000:10:06: <Benedict> Goblins do get darkvision. Top kek.
1356100:10:29: <Benedict> "Big statues in here. Also undead."
1356200:10:48: <Hippocratesi> "They don't seem to care."
1356300:11:03: <NachtRuine> Saav casts Light on a crossbow bolt and holds it up. "Let's not expend more effort than we need to."
1356400:11:30: <Rainglove> everyone else can see roughly 60 feet, though it's dim on the edges
1356500:11:59: <Benedict> Is there any sort of big fire pit that Nurel can fire at and light up so everyone can see clearly, as if the rain was gone?
1356600:12:05: <Goatwright> Pasquale follows along, pushing away any dwarves who happen to get too close for comfort. "Nasty lil' bastards."
1356700:12:13: <NachtRuine> Can we see to the end of the hallway?
1356800:12:45: <Rainglove> Nope. It goes on for quite a ways. Either the dwarves had a shitload of leaders or they just really liked long hallways.
1356900:13:13: <Benedict> Going with both.
1357000:13:34: <Benedict> "I'm sure Tolay will be happy if he can live here again."
1357100:14:25: <NachtRuine> Saav fires the enlightened bolt down the hallway, watching as it flies for... something.
1357200:15:13: <Rainglove> Just a bunch of undead. The arrow thunks into one after a ways, and the thing tips over onto the floor, now much shinier.
1357300:16:17: <Goatwright> This causes Pasquale to laugh. "Really lit that guy's face up, eh?"
1357400:16:30: <NachtRuine> He progresses then. "Can't be too careful."
1357500:16:39: <NachtRuine> Down the hallway, specifically.
1357600:16:49: <Benedict> Nurel continues to watch out for any holes or undead around with his superior goblin darkvision.
1357700:17:06: <Rainglove> This is a long goddamn hallway. Like man, you've probably been walking for... a few minutes?
1357800:17:11: <Goatwright> "Y'certainly brightened his day."
1357900:17:18: <Rainglove> might want to perc
1358000:17:22: <Goatwright> Chuckle chuckle chuckle.
1358100:17:28: <Dados> Goatwright, Oh boy, is it an illusion?: 12 [1d20=4]
1358200:17:28: <Goatwright> 1d20+8 Oh boy, is it an illusion?
1358300:17:29: <Benedict> 1d20+8 Let's do this. Think positive.
1358400:17:29: <Dados> Benedict, Let's do this. Think positive.: 28 [1d20=20]
1358500:17:30: <viejo> "All we need to do is plonk a few party hats on these undead, a couple of cakes here and there, some music, it'd really do this place wonders."
1358600:17:34: <Benedict> THINKING POSITIVE.
1358700:17:38: <viejo> 1d20-1 HABEEB
1358800:17:38: <Dados> Viejo, HABEEB: 12 [1d20=13]

1359000:17:40: <Dados> NachtRuine, nottu dissu shittu againu: 19 [1d20=5]
1359100:17:51: <Goatwright> Clearly Kye and Pasquale are distracted by their jokes.
1359200:19:13: <Rainglove> Nurel you remember that chip off that one dwarf's beard. You're looping back around through where you've been, somehow.
1359300:20:50: <viejo> Clearly they should've put different coloured party harts on the undead for such a purpose.
1359400:20:54: <viejo> hats*
1359500:21:25: <Benedict> "Someone try to sniff out magic. Aeria? Saav? We've been looping."
1359600:21:42: <NachtRuine> Detect magic, pls!
1359700:21:51: <Hippocratesi> Detect Magic.
1359800:21:57: <Goatwright> "Oh, I got this." Pasquale whips out his handy Lantern of Auras and starts shining it around the room.
1359900:23:57: <Rainglove> Magic be detected. Ssssspellcraft. Pasquale the ether is not depositing small lanterns into your back pocket goddamnit.
1360000:24:06: <Dados> Hippocratesi, 1d20+6: 18 [1d20=12]
1360100:24:06: <Hippocratesi> 1d20+6
1360200:24:09: <Goatwright> MAN FINE I'LL BUY IT LATER
1360300:24:21: <NachtRuine> 1d20+10 spellcraft you say?
1360400:24:22: <Dados> NachtRuine, spellcraft you say?: 27 [1d20=17]
1360500:24:24: <Goatwright> Can I still Spellcraft to help o-or no?
1360600:24:29: <Rainglove> well
1360700:24:32: <Rainglove> saav's got you covered
1360800:24:37: <Goatwright> oh so he does
1360900:25:34: <Rainglove> This is some sort of conjuration shit Saav. Whatever it is seems to be tied to the statues on the sides of the rooms. Maybe take a closer look at those?
1361000:26:40: <NachtRuine> "These statues are suspect." He looks closely at them.
1361100:27:40: <Rainglove> Perrrrception. Or Appraise. or K engineering.
1361200:27:50: <NachtRuine> 1d20+14 percep
1361300:27:50: <Dados> NachtRuine, percep: 19 [1d20=5]
1361400:28:00: <Rainglove> other people could
1361500:28:02: <Rainglove> try to help
1361600:28:04: <Goatwright> 1d20+15 K (Engineering), you say?
1361700:28:04: <Dados> Goatwright, K (Engineering), you say?: 25 [1d20=10]
1361800:28:14: <NachtRuine> There you go.
1361900:28:29: <Goatwright> My ass can also roll, if you want
1362000:28:47: <Benedict> 1d20+7 I want to THINK POSITIVE with engineering, please.
1362100:28:48: <Dados> Benedict, I want to THINK POSITIVE with engineering, please.: 20 [1d20=13]
1362200:30:34: <Rainglove> Pasquale thinks positive-er. These statues aren't solid, m8. Looking at the pupils, you can see the heads are hollow, as well as parts of the bodies. There's some kind of mechanical contraption in the base of the statue you're looking at, and it seems to connect to others, but what it does you can't tell.
1362300:32:01: <Goatwright> "They are indeed. They're hollow, and there's somethin' in 'em. Mechanical, and they're connected, but idunno what for or what it does."
1362400:32:42: <Goatwright> He looks back to the group, clutching at his hammer. "We can always crack 'em open and find out, though!"
1362500:33:05: <Benedict> "There might be some switches at the base of the statues that could be used to open them?"
1362600:33:58: <NachtRuine> Saav examines the statue for something that looks like it could open it up. Percep again?
1362700:35:09: <Rainglove> Nah, you don't find anything. Just that mechanical whatever. Some kind of piped something that connects all the statues.
1362800:35:46: <NachtRuine> "I cannot find anything. We may have to break it open, unless someone else has another idea."
1362900:35:58: <Goatwright> Would either of Pasquale's crafts help him do something with 'em?
1363000:36:49: <Rainglove> clockwork might
1363100:36:52: <Rainglove> you could try
1363200:37:06: <Goatwright> 1d20+11 Pasquale goes up to it and sees what he can do to tinker with it.
1363300:37:07: <Dados> Goatwright, Pasquale goes up to it and sees what he can do to tinker with it.: 13 [1d20=2]
1363400:37:10: <Goatwright> wow okay
1363500:37:17: <Goatwright> dados confirmed intense hatred for Pasquale
1363600:38:20: <Rainglove> You don't really get anything out of that. It's not anything complicated, you know that. Just a switch of something of the sort.
1363700:39:10: <Goatwright> "Well, it ain't very complex. Nothin' beyond those lil' hairy bastards." He scratches his chin.
1363800:39:19: <Goatwright> "I can't really do nothin' with it, though."
1363900:40:45: <NachtRuine> Saav backs up. "Then I can't think of anything else. Have at it."
1364000:41:17: <Goatwright> Pasquale beams with excitement as he takes his hammer and whhhhacks at the base of the statue.
1364100:41:26: <Rainglove> roll damage bruh
1364200:41:44: <Goatwright> 2d6+10 power attack hrrrrrk
1364300:41:45: <Dados> Goatwright, power attack hrrrrrk: 16 [2d6=5,1]
1364400:42:13: <Rainglove> Where're you aiming for? The head, the body, one arm...?
1364500:42:26: <Goatwright> The body.
1364600:42:41: <Goatwright> Just to get it open, though, rather than demolish it
1364700:43:41: <Rainglove> Pasquale delicately bashes a chunk out of the statue. A thick fluid pours out through the hole, sort of yellowish. Looks and smells like lantern oil.
1364800:44:22: <Goatwright> "Well, it's flammable."
1364900:44:30: <Goatwright> "I'm not sure if you wanna, uh, y'know."
1365000:46:42: <Goatwright> He looks to what the OTHERS think they should do.
1365100:47:31: <Benedict> "Hmm. If there is lantern oil in all of them, maybe we can have to light up each of them?"
1365200:48:11: <Hippocratesi> "Most likely it'll give us enough light to find our way through. So we can stop going in circles."
1365300:48:51: <NachtRuine> "Any of you other magical sort know how to make a spark? All I've on me is a flint and steel."
1365400:49:19: <Goatwright> "Sure! Just step away."
1365500:49:36: <Goatwright> "Perhaps just avoid the statues in general, y'know, just in case."
1365600:50:00: <NachtRuine> Saav takes said advice.
1365700:50:22: <Goatwright> Pasquale heeds his own advice, stepping away a few feet from the oil before quickly brewing up a special alchemist's fire and tossing it at the puddle of oil.
1365800:52:30: <Rainglove> The statues down the hall light up, illuminating the stonework. The end of the hall becomes visible. Flaming oil continues to trickle out of pasquale's hole.
1365900:54:41: <Goatwright> Pasquale seems to have quite enjoyed lighting something up. "Right! Let's go on, then."
1366000:54:46: <Goatwright> He heads for the end of the hall.
1366100:55:10: <NachtRuine> "Let's." He follows, keeping an eye on the statues.
1366200:55:46: <Benedict> Let's go, Nurel-chan.
1366300:58:29: <Goatwright> What's at the end of the hall, oh mighty GM?
1366400:59:20: <Rainglove> You go. The hall opens up into an amphitheater-style area, noticeably clearer of undead. The walls are lined with carvings, and small rooms are inlaid into the walls. Looks like it was a central meeting area at some point
1366501:00:14: <Goatwright> K (Local) to get an idea of the town layoooout?
1366601:00:35: <NachtRuine> 1d20+4 i kinda know stuff like this
1366701:00:35: <Dados> NachtRuine, i kinda know stuff like this: 12 [1d20=8]
1366801:00:40: <Rainglove> You could try, but it'll be vague at best
1366901:00:49: <Goatwright> 1d20+9 Vague is okay
1367001:00:49: <Dados> Goatwright, Vague is okay: 20 [1d20=11]
1367101:01:30: <Benedict> "I thought there would be more undead around. The way the dwarves talked, I imagined a horde of them."
1367201:02:04: <Goatwright> "Maybe they're just hidin'!"
1367301:02:13: <NachtRuine> Saav looks at the walls and the carvings. "Perhaps we should've brought a dwarf with us. They would be able to make more sense of this stuff than we could."
1367401:02:49: <Benedict> If only someone spoke/read Dwarven. RIP Flinz.
1367501:02:53: <Hippocratesi> "Or perhaps, most of them have left."
1367601:02:53: <Goatwright> "I speak a lil' bit of dwarven, actually."
1367701:03:02: <viejo> Time to summon the Rift-portal, and in turn Eelis.
1367801:03:04: <Rainglove> Yeeeeeah, kinda pasquale. This is a hub, you already know that. From what you know of old dwarven culture it's likely that heading down will take you towards workshops and their mining area, while heading up will take you towards living spaces.
1367901:03:44: <NachtRuine> "Oh? Can you take a look at these carvings? Perhaps they'll give us some information we can use."
1368001:03:55: <Goatwright> He LOOKS AT THE CARVINGS TOO I GUESS.
1368101:05:33: <Goatwright> "Well, I know for one, headin' further down will probably get us to their workshops 'n mines. Further up would be homes and such."
1368201:05:58: <Benedict> "Hmm. I'd wager most of the undead are in the homes."
1368301:06:15: <Benedict> "Or any survivors in here." Nurel is of course referring to the Captain of the Guard's kid.
1368401:06:16: <Rainglove> History bruh. Mostly just significant events from history. There's a dwarf murdering the shit out of what you'd guess is a dragon, there's a dwarf army fighting some humans, there's a really detailed goddamn inscription of a dwarf king...
1368501:06:56: <NachtRuine> "Any idea where we might expect to find our lost heir?"
1368601:07:04: <Goatwright> He peers at the inscriptions. "Aaaand the inscriptions are just local history. No big deal, really."
1368701:07:12: <Hippocratesi> "I do not feel that there are any survivors here."
1368801:07:34: <Goatwright> "If we're lookin' for people, I'd probably figure with the goblin. Homes are a good bet."
1368901:08:49: <NachtRuine> "Alright. Homes, then the workshops. We go up."
1369001:09:23: <Goatwright> Pasquale slings his hammer over his shoulder again and starts headin' up with the group!
1369101:09:59: <Benedict> Up we go.
1369201:12:50: <Rainglove> You head up a lovely spiral staircase and into a series of ornate hallways. You'd guess this is where the nobility was housed. Arrow slits are visible along the portion of the wall between the stairs landing and where the rooms start, and breathing is audible from behind them. Seems like the dwarves really wanted to keep their nobility safe from the commoners
1369301:14:19: <Goatwright> He nudges Nurel and Kye. "You think you guys can, idunno, ricochet a bullet on in there or somethin'?"
1369401:14:31: <Benedict> "This is why I prefer goblin culture. There were no nobles or commoners. If you could fight, you were valuable. And in where?"
1369501:14:53: <Goatwright> He points at the arrow slits.
1369601:15:00: <Hippocratesi> "Does anyone else hear breathing?"
1369701:15:34: <Benedict> "We should try to make sure it isn't a friendly first."
1369801:15:35: <Goatwright> "I do as well. S'why I suggested shootin'!
1369901:15:39: <NachtRuine> Does the breathing sound like a person or just air rushing from a machine or something?
1370001:16:02: <Rainglove> living thing breathing
1370101:16:44: <Hippocratesi> "Shooting them without identifying them as a threat?" Aeria steps forward and yells out to the slits. "Hello?"
1370201:17:18: <Goatwright> "Well they're undead, ain't they?"
1370301:17:28: <Hippocratesi> "Undead don't breathe."
1370401:17:42: <Goatwright> "Don't they?"
1370501:17:54: <Rainglove> The breathing stops, and a few seconds later a labored voice comes back through the arrow slit. "Is someone there?"
1370601:18:39: <Benedict> "Yes. We also said hello."
1370701:18:47: <NachtRuine> "Are you alright?"
1370801:18:56: <Hippocratesi> "Is there anyone else with you?"
1370901:19:08: <Benedict> "There are a few with us."
1371001:19:15: <Goatwright> "Want help gettin' out?"
1371101:21:59: <Rainglove> "Help sounds /fantastic/." Whoever it is pauses to take a breath. "Door's through the room right next to here."
1371201:22:03: <Rainglove> The door is very clearly visible
1371301:22:38: <Hippocratesi> "Are you injured?" Aeria goes and tries to open the door.
1371401:22:42: <Benedict> Why does everything feel like a trap? "I'll go in first, just in case." The goblin says, and moves on to the door.
1371501:23:33: <Rainglove> That there's a door.
1371601:23:38: <Rainglove> Bein' a door and all/
1371701:23:42: <Hippocratesi> I
1371801:23:44: <Hippocratesi> attempted to open it
1371901:23:54: <Rainglove> hrk
1372001:23:56: <Rainglove> well it opens
1372101:24:20: <Benedict> WHAT'S INSIDE?
1372201:24:26: <Goatwright> A skeleton orgy
1372301:24:27: <Rainglove> FUCKING PATIENCE MAN-CHILD
1372401:24:39: <Benedict> I HAVE NO PATIENCE.
1372501:24:40: <Rainglove> THE WONDERS OF PATIENCE ARE INSIDE
1372601:24:46: <Goatwright> Gasp
1372701:24:47: <Rainglove> AND THEY FLOW THROUGH YOUR MONITOR AND INTO YOU
1372801:24:58: <Goatwright> GaAaAaAsp
1372901:26:32: <Rainglove> The door inside is dark, but illuminated by your torch. This is apparently a long hallway that stretches down the sides of the main one, and where the arrow slits are accessible from. You can see where that voice was coming from, but nothing is immediately visible there. Just an empty room with some stone strewn about.
1373001:27:08: <Hippocratesi> "...Are you in here?"
1373101:27:17: <NachtRuine> I detect magic.
1373201:27:20: <Benedict> Anything seen with darkvision?
1373301:28:02: <Rainglove> you detect absolutely nothing. Ain't shit there captain. The breathing is audible, from the corner of the room nearest the arrow slit you were at before, but there doesn't seem to be anything there
1373401:28:20: <Benedict> Fuck it, Nurel will take the risk and approach.
1373501:28:28: <Benedict> While detecting EVIL.
1373601:28:31: <NachtRuine> Hm. "No magic. Not that I can tell."
1373701:28:47: <Goatwright> Pasquale watches from outside!
1373801:30:21: <Rainglove> You don't detect evil or see anything. There's a sort of whitish haze in the corner, very faintly visible, but that's probably not talking to you.
1373901:31:02: <Benedict> "...Hello? We're here to help?"
1374001:31:44: <Rainglove> From the corner with the haze, "Oh thank god, I was thinking I'd be stuck here forever."
1374101:31:49: <Rainglove> "... Where are you?"
1374201:32:16: <Benedict> Nurel is approaching the corner with the haze. There's a ghost there, isn't there?"
1374301:32:46: <Hippocratesi> "In the room. With you." Aeria approaches the haze. "We can't seem to see each other."
1374401:33:56: <Rainglove> The haze sighs. "Of course. Well, you might as well leave then. I'll wait for someone else, I guess."
1374501:34:51: <Hippocratesi> "We aren't going to /leave/ you here."
1374601:35:18: <Benedict> "If you're a... ghost as I'm assuming, how are you trapped here?"
1374701:37:04: <Rainglove> "Well I was wandering around, and I heard some noises in here, and I came in to investigate, and then someone went and stuffed me in a box. It's... sort of challenging to explain exactly what it is."
1374801:37:17: <Goatwright> "A.. box?"
1374901:37:18: <Hippocratesi> "In a...box?"
1375001:37:28: <Goatwright> Pasquale enters into the room now, scratchin' his gut.
1375101:38:25: <Rainglove> ghostinabox
1375201:38:43: <Benedict> A tap dancing ghost?
1375301:38:49: <Rainglove> possibly
1375401:39:03: <Goatwright> too bad none of us can see it
1375501:39:27: <Rainglove> indeed
1375601:39:29: <Benedict> Nurel seduces the ghost by singing "Moses Supposes" except not really.
1375701:39:52: <Benedict> "Hmm. Maybe once we clear this place, you'll be freed. Or we could bring a cleric to help you."

13761
1376223:19:35: <Benedict> IT IS ROTTER'S BANDIT CAMP. As everyone else except Rain were told, Nurel is not here. He went to goblin town to rub his hands around pretty goblin ladies. So everyone seems free to do whatever. Oh boy.
1376323:19:47: <Goatsmith> Pasquale is sittin' about camp being a fatass.
1376423:20:39: <Hippocratesi> Aeria is cleaning her sword. Can't have dried blood all over it, gotta keep that shit shinin'.
1376523:21:21: <Goatsmith> He appears to have gone through the party loot and made himself a little more comfortable.
1376623:21:28: <Hippocratesi> fucking thief
1376723:21:34: <Benedict> Wow, what a huge asshole.
1376823:22:49: <Dados> Hippocratesi, 1d20+7: 20 [1d20=13]

1377023:22:52: <Hippocratesi> well
1377123:22:54: <Goatsmith> He's using it to help!
1377223:23:00: <Goatsmith> It was just sitting around!
1377323:23:21: <Rainglove> 1d20+8 apparently I'm doing a thing
1377423:23:22: <Dados> Rainglove, apparently I'm doing a thing: 11 [1d20=3]
1377523:23:26: <Rainglove> and failing at it
1377623:23:54: <Goatsmith> 1d20+4
1377723:23:54: <Dados> Goatsmith, 1d20+4: 10 [1d20=6]

1378023:24:59: <viejo> 1d20+15 Kye is being totally cool with some sleight of hand mischief.
1378123:25:51: <Goatsmith> Pasquale waddles over to Kye. "'Ey boy, doin' anythin' important?"
1378223:26:27: <Hippocratesi> Aeria stops what she's doing and looks around, thinking some kids are playin' tricks. Nothing. She assumes its due to lack of proper sleep and goes back to cleaning.
1378323:26:49: <Benedict> Two random assholes in the camp drop what they're doing, which is a shame since they were carrying pottery. Without a word, they leave the camp, heading north.
1378423:26:50: <Goatsmith> What a good housewife

1378623:27:33: <Goatsmith> :^)
1378723:28:09: <Rainglove> Azrael goes wandering off in the same direction as the pottery-slaying maniacs. Goddamn phillistines, these bandits.
1378823:28:49: <Hippocratesi> Aeria hears the breaking of pots and sighs, turning to see the two assholes walking off. Along with a fish-man. She follows curiously.
1378923:29:54: <Goatsmith> Since Kye is PREOCCUPIED with BEING AN EDGELORD, he catches up with Aeria. "Hey hey! You headin' home, too, sweetcheeks?"
1379023:30:49: <Hippocratesi> "So you heard it as well?"
1379123:31:12: <Benedict> As they travel north, they soon join another group of random peasants heading in the same direction. There is an orc and human "noble" within the group.
1379223:31:15: <Rainglove> Fish-man remains oblivious to angel-lady, being almost entirely devoid of perception.
1379323:31:54: <viejo> Does he have a -1 modifier to his perc?
1379423:32:14: <Benedict> You don't need perc. You can see them.
1379523:32:30: <Benedict> Nobles, I should say. Anyway, woo, walking simulator. As you get to Valkas, you see a few people leaving town and heading further north. Or at least trying to. The guards are doing their best to grab any people walking and drag them back to town.
1379623:32:47: <Goatsmith> "Sure did." He nudges her in the side.
1379723:32:49: <viejo> That was to rain.
1379823:32:56: <Benedict> Well, pfft.
1379923:32:56: <Rainglove> 1d20+8 can I stop being a zombie yet?
1380023:32:57: <Dados> Rainglove, can I stop being a zombie yet?: 10 [1d20=2]
1380123:32:59: <Rainglove> nope

1380323:33:04: <Dados> Goatsmith, 1d20+4: 12 [1d20=8]
1380423:33:07: <Goatsmith> gg
1380523:34:32: <Hippocratesi> Aeria frowns at his nudging before approaching the guards. "Any idea of what's going on here?" She helps with stopping the zambie civilians.
1380623:34:49: <Goatsmith> He scratches his head a bit. "Wait, what're we doin', again?"
1380723:34:50: <Benedict> "Stop tryin' to leave, you bastards! You got work to do!" The guards shout at the few peasants they keep trying to drag back in, stopping momentarily to see the medium-sized group of people heading right past them. That, was, uh, totally posted here. Yes.
1380823:36:00: <Benedict> The peasants do not like your helping, Aeria. In fact, they hate it. They hate it so much they they try punching you in the fockin' gabber.
1380923:36:57: <Hippocratesi> She backs the fuck up and rubs her soon to be swollen lip. Fucking peasants and their peasant strength.
1381023:37:38: <Goatsmith> The first coherent thing Pasquale sees is this PEASANT clocking his ice queen waifu!
1381123:37:41: <Benedict> Another peasant makes a swing for Aeria. A third for Kye. You should probably just kill 'em. Or knock 'em out.
1381223:37:55: <Benedict> SO MAKE THEM ATTACK ROLLS. No damage rolls. Just say if you're killing or knockin'.
1381323:38:36: <Goatsmith> He gives whatever peasant threw the punch a solid jab to the chin. "Hey, fuck you!"
1381423:38:46: <Hippocratesi> 1d20+3 She moves to knock the shit out of that peasant.
1381523:38:46: <Dados> Hippocratesi, She moves to knock the shit out of that peasant.: 17 [1d20=14]

1381823:39:03: <Hippocratesi> "/Don't/ kill them! They're being controlled!"
1381923:39:23: <Goatsmith> "Who said I was killin' 'im?"
1382023:39:31: <Benedict> Viejo, make an attack roll. No damage roll. Just say if you're killing or knockin'.
1382123:39:36: <viejo> 1d20+12 backhand slaps

1382823:39:49: <Dados> Viejo, 1d20+7: 11 [1d20=4]
1382923:40:05: <viejo> Kye is very casually back-handing slapping the peasants.
1383023:40:08: <viejo> Still with force.
1383123:40:11: <Benedict> Kye knocks out two peasants with the power of the pimp hand. Aeria and Pasquale also do some work.
1383223:41:10: <Goatsmith> "Y'lil shit." He stamps the peasant's head in the dirt. "These guys weren't so rowdy last we strolled through."
1383323:41:21: <Benedict> Thankfully, those were the only peasants starting shit, and the guards are thankful they can just drag in these assholes and throw them in a cell. "Fifth fucking time this week some random bastard tried to leave town and go north."
1383423:41:51: <Benedict> And another guard appears to try and control Pasquale. "Don't fuckin' kill them, we need them for labor!"
1383523:41:55: <viejo> 1d20-1 what do my elven eyes see?
1383623:41:55: <Dados> Viejo, what do my elven eyes see?: 18 [1d20=19]
1383723:41:57: <Rainglove> azrael continues wandering north, not a goddamn care in the world
1383823:42:14: <Goatsmith> Who even is he?
1383923:42:27: <Rainglove> no idea
1384023:42:32: <Rainglove> some fish dude
1384123:42:43: <Goatsmith> Is he tasty?
1384223:43:03: <Rainglove> maybe
1384323:43:10: <Rainglove> 1d20+8 time for more FAILURE
1384423:43:10: <Dados> Rainglove, time for more FAILURE: 24 [1d20=16]
1384523:43:15: <Rainglove> aw
1384623:43:15: <Hippocratesi> "Come. Following them is our best bet." Aeria continues to follow Azrael and the two other god damn assholes.
1384723:43:33: <Goatsmith> "I ain't killin' your mook! Just keep 'em in line." He straightens his coat, leaves the peasant be, and waddles back over to Aeria. "You alright?"
1384823:43:43: <Goatsmith> Oh okay they are going north more
1384923:44:11: <Benedict> The guards watch the people leave. Okay, bye.
1385023:44:35: <viejo> Kye just slinks along with the rest.
1385123:44:49: <viejo> He is absent-mindedly looking over the countryside. Gorgeous.
1385223:44:52: <Benedict> There is some fish dude on the road. He was probably from Rotter's camp or something. He looks enough like a lazy asshole to be with Rotter.
1385323:45:01: <Benedict> (That is Rain-chan)
1385423:45:19: <viejo> Rotter????
1385523:45:32: <Goatsmith> ?????
1385623:45:35: <Benedict> And yeah, the countryside is nice. Nice and covered with snow.
1385723:45:50: <Rainglove> Azrael is suddenly no longer a zombinity. Unfortunately this means he is once more a lazy asshole. He takes a moment to ponder where he is, as well as the people around him.
1385823:45:53: <viejo> Somewhere far away Qoja slides along on her genitals in search of her homeland.
1385923:46:05: <Hippocratesi> "I'm fine. I've had worse than a simple punch." Aeria spots the stupid fish-man and WE'RE AT HIM NOW SAY HI. "Are you...yourself again?"
1386023:47:42: <Goatsmith> Pasquale, being of distinct elemental outsider blood, gets a good look at this guy. He recognizes the cut of his jib. A real fishy sort.
1386123:48:02: <Goatsmith> "[You an undine?]", he barks in Aquan.
1386223:48:14: <Rainglove> FUCK FINE JESUS. "Certainly feels like it. What's..." He gestures towards the zobmies.
1386323:49:16: <NachtRuine> 1d20+10 shit sorry i was away this is will
1386423:49:16: <Dados> NachtRuine, shit sorry i was away this is will: 26 [1d20=16]
1386523:49:33: <Rainglove> Azrael waves a webbed hand at Pasquale. "[I look human to you?]"
1386623:50:32: <Hippocratesi> "We don't know, but it's got something to do with this voice we're hearing. May be a spell."
1386723:50:50: <Hippocratesi> "...Erm, have we met before?"
1386823:50:59: <NachtRuine> Saav was totally here the whole time. "Someone is attempting to control me. They fail to do so."
1386923:51:34: <Benedict> "I said fuck off!" There is some shouting in the woods near the path all the zombies are following. Dwarven shouting. Also bear noises. Insert bear noises here.
1387023:52:10: <Goatsmith> He shrugs. "[Maybe you coulda been an ugly tiefling.]"
1387123:53:09: <Hippocratesi> She goes off to investigate the noise, leaving the rest to talk among themselves. What's over there, eh?
1387223:53:11: <Rainglove> Azrael shrugs at Angel-lady. "Have we? I can't say I remember you."
1387323:53:15: <Rainglove> he shrugs at her back
1387423:53:41: <viejo> Kye scratches his ballsack.
1387523:53:50: <viejo> Specifically the left one first, then the right.
1387623:53:51: <Rainglove> batharl pls
1387723:54:26: <Benedict> Aeria goes off to be the hero she was meant to be. Except there is no time for heroism. Only bears. Big bears. Bears trying to get at a shoeless dwarf in a tree. A big dwarf (for you).
1387823:55:09: <Hippocratesi> A god damn pack of bears, how horrifying. This certainly is no time for heroism.
1387923:55:18: <Goatsmith> goddammit Benny
1388023:55:39: <Benedict> Was failing to be heroic part of your plan?
1388123:55:50: <NachtRuine> Saav follows after Aeria.
1388223:55:53: <Goatsmith> "So uh, what're we doin' out here, again?" He turns to ask Aeria, but now she's running into the bushes.
1388323:56:02: <Goatsmith> He scratches his head.
1388423:56:17: <Goatsmith> "Idunno where these people get all their energy from."
1388523:56:35: <Benedict> Saav also sees bears. Three bears. Perception.
1388623:56:51: <Hippocratesi> "Think we can take 'em, Saavou?"
1388723:56:57: <Dados> NachtRuine, wotic: 19 [1d20=5]

1389923:58:25: <Goatsmith> Muskrats
1390023:58:46: <viejo> Kye doesn't seem too bothered. His nuts require scratching.
1390123:58:47: <Benedict> It's actually only two bears. That bush just looks -a lot- like a bear. And one of the bears looks injured anyway.
1390223:59:18: <Benedict> So if you feel like saving a dwarf, make init rolls.
1390323:59:19: <Goatsmith> Pasquale moves in for the bear bush!

1390623:59:34: <NachtRuine> "They are weak, we can take them."
1390723:59:44: <Benedict> And thanks to Pasquale, the two actual bears notice you. But Pasquale really hurts that bush.
