(9:37:25 PM) You have just entered room "planescape11."
(9:37:27 PM) Besyanteo has entered the room.
(9:37:30 PM) Brodzky Zero has entered the room.
Brodzky Zero (9:37:33 PM): (I don't belong here.)
(9:37:35 PM) TheWaiChibiAngel has entered the room.
Brodzky Zero (9:37:38 PM): (Unhand me you knave.)
TheWaiChibiAngel (9:37:43 PM): *Priam is graciously getting me food.*
Idran1701 (9:37:43 PM): (...No, you don't. Sorry, Zero.)
Idran1701 (9:37:47 PM): (Meant to get Shaun.)
Brodzky Zero (9:37:58 PM): (Well tell Shaun that I said hi!)
(9:38:01 PM) CGNakibe has entered the room.
Brodzky Zero (9:38:07 PM): (Tell him, Idran.)
Idran1701 (9:38:14 PM): (Shaun, Zero says hi.)
CGNakibe (9:38:37 PM): (Rar.)
Brodzky Zero (9:38:46 PM): (Zip!)
(9:38:47 PM) Brodzky Zero has left the room.
Idran1701 (9:38:50 PM): (Anyway, once Priam gets back and Pervy shows up, we'll start. :O)
Besyanteo (9:38:57 PM): (Right.)
TheWaiChibiAngel (9:39:07 PM): (In the meantime, Idran:(
TheWaiChibiAngel (9:39:16 PM): (Burkholder, perhaps next friday?)
Idran1701 (9:39:21 PM): (Sure!)
TheWaiChibiAngel (9:39:28 PM): (And furthermore, I'm considering inviting Annabell to that, aswell.)
Idran1701 (9:39:33 PM): (I'll have to do some missions in the interim to hit 25, though. :O)
Idran1701 (9:39:36 PM): (Nifty.)
TheWaiChibiAngel (9:40:20 PM): *She appears to like you guys.*
Idran1701 (9:40:42 PM): (Really? Cool.)
Besyanteo (9:48:03 PM): Ho hum.
Besyanteo (9:48:26 PM): Been doing lots of DnD recently. I like the system alot more than I ever expected to.
Idran1701 (9:48:53 PM): *nod*
CGNakibe (9:48:58 PM): It has its useful.
Besyanteo (9:49:08 PM): Nice grammar Shaun. :o
CGNakibe (9:49:18 PM): *uses
CGNakibe (9:49:21 PM): *Stabs BES*
Idran1701 (9:49:33 PM): So, what do you two think in terms of 2e vs. 3e? :O
Besyanteo (9:49:35 PM): Hee. I have no room to speak at all. =D
CGNakibe (9:49:54 PM): 2e somehow makes more sense.
Idran1701 (9:50:18 PM): Honestly, I think that's the first time I've ever heard that said in that debate.
Besyanteo (9:50:28 PM): Idran: 3.5 has impressed me alot. 2e...It feels clunky to me.
Besyanteo (9:50:32 PM): The roll system that is.
Besyanteo (9:50:46 PM): Sometimes you want it high, sometimes low...
Besyanteo (9:50:55 PM): 3 atleast goes all in one direction.
Idran1701 (9:50:57 PM): *nod*
Besyanteo (9:51:07 PM): Although,
Besyanteo (9:51:15 PM): I can't argue with skill checks in 2e
Besyanteo (9:51:27 PM): Roll a d20, get it under your stat.
Besyanteo (9:51:33 PM): And I have a wis of 18. =D
Besyanteo (9:51:44 PM): ... stat checks*
Besyanteo (9:51:46 PM): Tired.
Idran1701 (9:52:06 PM): Heh. Though that just makes it all the more disheartening when you get a 19 or 20. :D
Besyanteo (9:52:18 PM): Heh.
Besyanteo (9:52:27 PM): I did that the other session as I recall.
(9:52:29 PM) SongstressEnlil has entered the room.
Besyanteo (9:52:33 PM): "Roll wis!"
Besyanteo (9:52:39 PM): "19... crap!"
Besyanteo (9:52:56 PM): "Why couldn't I have gotten that in 3.5 last night?!"
Besyanteo (9:53:17 PM): The idea of kits sort of works for me,
CGNakibe (9:53:22 PM): In 3.5 having everything go the same way makes it easier.
Besyanteo (9:53:26 PM): though Multiclassing works for me too.
Idran1701 (9:53:27 PM): "Or in combat 5 seconds ago? ;_;"
Besyanteo (9:53:34 PM): Heh. So true.
CGNakibe (9:53:35 PM): But yeah. Kits don't suck like trying to find the class you fit under.
Besyanteo (9:53:53 PM): Eh. There's alot of specialty classes in 3.5 to make up for that,
Besyanteo (9:53:56 PM): along with feats.
Idran1701 (9:54:02 PM): *nod*
Besyanteo (9:54:13 PM): You can make a level 1 fighter in 3.5 that runs like an RO assassin real easily.
Besyanteo (9:54:23 PM): Hell, they even have the Katars as simple weapons.
TheWaiChibiAngel (9:54:28 PM): *>_>*
Besyanteo (9:54:30 PM): Which means any class can do that.
Idran1701 (9:54:31 PM): ...
Besyanteo (9:54:43 PM): so long as they have dex 15
TheWaiChibiAngel (9:54:46 PM): *You mean like Lil's doing now? :(*
Besyanteo (9:54:49 PM): Yup.
Idran1701 (9:54:59 PM): Oh, you're saying you can do it in both. :O
Besyanteo (9:55:06 PM): Hm?
Idran1701 (9:55:13 PM): Since Lil is doing the same thing?
CGNakibe (9:55:15 PM): Bes: But you can only do that so long as the classes and character idea match.
Besyanteo (9:55:25 PM): Pretty much. Shaun: Eh?
CGNakibe (9:55:39 PM): You want to make an RO-style Crit-sin, you go Rogue or Fighter.
CGNakibe (9:55:45 PM): You DON'T go mage, for obvious reasons.
Besyanteo (9:55:48 PM): YEah, pretty much.
CGNakibe (9:55:53 PM): Or Rogue or any of the other 20 classes I can think of.
Besyanteo (9:55:55 PM): and Fighter is better for crits, really.
CGNakibe (9:55:58 PM): Sorry, Ranger.
Besyanteo (9:56:03 PM): the BAB helps so very very much.
Besyanteo (9:56:14 PM): Then you take weapon finesse and a high Dex.
Besyanteo (9:56:43 PM): You are suddenly on your way to being a crit whore AND a duelist.
CGNakibe (9:56:55 PM): That's the thing I DON'T like in some ways.
Besyanteo (9:57:00 PM): Hm?
CGNakibe (9:57:09 PM): Takes a lot of twinking in 3e sometimes to get stuff to work.
Besyanteo (9:57:15 PM): Not really.
Besyanteo (9:58:05 PM): I'd argue that all it takes to get through 3e is clerics in your party. PReferably 2 or more.
CGNakibe (9:58:16 PM): Not what I meant perse.
CGNakibe (9:58:22 PM): More of the character building thing.
CGNakibe (9:58:29 PM): Although Cleric is the most versatile thing in 3e.
Besyanteo (9:58:49 PM): I don't think so, but then I've only gotten to level 3 in cleric so far.
Besyanteo (9:58:52 PM): ... Also,
Besyanteo (9:59:02 PM): ... Actually, it bears mention.
Besyanteo (9:59:10 PM): My cleric here in 2e is a crack shot archer.
Besyanteo (9:59:19 PM): My cleric in 3e is useless for all things not healing.
Besyanteo (9:59:21 PM): NOW:
Besyanteo (9:59:24 PM): Start game?
Idran1701 (9:59:36 PM): Priam's still not here. :O
Besyanteo (9:59:51 PM): ... Missed that. Shit. I was trying to rush through the debate cuz I thought I was holding us up.
CGNakibe (9:59:58 PM): Naah.
SongstressEnlil (9:59:59 PM): *His tehcnomancy score isn't high enough to lay while grabbing food*
CGNakibe (10:00:02 PM): We got a little time yet.
SongstressEnlil (10:00:07 PM): **Play*
Besyanteo (10:00:07 PM): Kayo
CGNakibe (10:00:11 PM): Bes: You can fix that with a different build.
CGNakibe (10:00:19 PM): Or a good Favored weapon.
Besyanteo (10:00:33 PM): I've actually got a +1 light mace.
CGNakibe (10:00:38 PM): Clerics suck at nothing if they don't want to.
CGNakibe (10:01:01 PM): Takes more work to not suck at fighting, but then that's only if you're thinking Fighters are the standard.
Besyanteo (10:01:32 PM): More like... Hm.
Besyanteo (10:01:48 PM): I suck at Spot and Listen, despite the alertness feat.
CGNakibe (10:01:57 PM): Yeah. Class thing.
Idran1701 (10:01:58 PM): Clerics can be good at anything, but any one cleric is usually good at one thing?
Besyanteo (10:02:02 PM): I suck at hiding and moving silently, despite the stealthy feat.
CGNakibe (10:02:05 PM): Idran: Pretty much.
CGNakibe (10:02:16 PM): Its a matter of which gods or specializations you take.
Besyanteo (10:02:19 PM): Knowledge Religion has been an utter joke.
CGNakibe (10:02:33 PM): Knowledge: Religion really isn't useful in most people's campaigns. >.>;;;
Besyanteo (10:02:36 PM): Profession Apothecary has been useful!
Besyanteo (10:02:43 PM): And in this campaign, it was suggested.
CGNakibe (10:02:48 PM): Spellcraft, on the other hand, is useful for damn near EVERYONE.
Besyanteo (10:02:52 PM): It just never ever works.
Besyanteo (10:03:10 PM): LEssee...
Besyanteo (10:03:20 PM): HErbalism was, again, useful...
Besyanteo (10:03:45 PM): I have good AC, for a casting class.
Besyanteo (10:04:00 PM): I can't complain about that. But I'm usually in the background, since I can't hit for shit anyway.
Besyanteo (10:04:09 PM): So it's also never come up.
Besyanteo (10:04:17 PM): I'll note again:
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:04:21 PM): *I'm kicking the shit out of Item World :(*
Besyanteo (10:04:29 PM): Klaus: *pegs a called shot on a man's wrist*
Besyanteo (10:04:49 PM): Corran: *fails to hit a man standing still in front of him with a +1 light mace.*
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:05:38 PM): *I now have wings a-fucking-plenty.*
Besyanteo (10:05:47 PM): Sweet.
Idran1701 (10:05:55 PM): Wings?
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:06:06 PM): *Boneless Buffalo wings.*
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:06:10 PM): *32, to be exact.*
Besyanteo (10:06:24 PM): (Chris now faces the ogres choice: )
Idran1701 (10:06:30 PM): Aha. Thought you meant in Disgaea. :O
Besyanteo (10:06:37 PM): To enjoy delicious wings, or keep a clean keyboard.
Besyanteo (10:06:48 PM): ... Or get a napkin, but meh.
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:06:51 PM): *They aren't terribly messy, actually.*
Besyanteo (10:06:56 PM): Ah, well then.
SongstressEnlil (10:06:58 PM): *If they are boneless, a fork would do*
Idran1701 (10:07:02 PM): Wimp.
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:07:04 PM): *And I have pants.*
(10:07:23 PM) OMG Priam has entered the room.
Idran1701 (10:07:29 PM): Greetings!
OMG Priam (10:07:35 PM): Hoyhoy
Besyanteo (10:07:45 PM): Heyo.
Besyanteo (10:07:53 PM): *Ahem* I mean...
Besyanteo (10:07:59 PM): I hate you all, secretly. e_e
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:08:06 PM): *Hahah*
CGNakibe (10:08:15 PM): Screw that.
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:08:15 PM): *"Counter-Counter-Counter-Counter-Counter!"*
CGNakibe (10:08:19 PM): I hate you all OPENLY.
OMG Priam (10:08:23 PM): That shit is funny. Always.
Besyanteo (10:08:27 PM): Chris: Ha!
CGNakibe (10:08:36 PM): Chris: EPIC BATTLE EXPLODES!
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:08:37 PM): *I'm beefier than any of you plus any other of you.*
Besyanteo (10:08:55 PM): What IS her HP anyway?
Besyanteo (10:09:00 PM): 20 something?
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:09:02 PM): *Nearly 30*
Besyanteo (10:09:05 PM): ... hot damn
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:09:32 PM): *29, I think?*
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:09:33 PM): *28?*
CGNakibe (10:09:44 PM): Dayum
Idran1701 (10:09:54 PM): 29. :O
CGNakibe (10:09:54 PM): Arian is, like, made of paper compared.
Besyanteo (10:10:03 PM): We couldn't kill her if we actually wanted to.
Idran1701 (10:10:11 PM): Sorry, Klaus. :(
CGNakibe (10:10:19 PM): Poor Klaus is out of luck.
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:10:20 PM): *D12 Hitdie :D*
Besyanteo (10:10:23 PM): Oh, he doesn't want to either.
Idran1701 (10:10:31 PM): And +4 HP con bonus. :O
Besyanteo (10:10:33 PM): Remember, beefy servants are neat.
SongstressEnlil (10:10:40 PM): *Sure we good. We just have to do it the Sigilian way*
SongstressEnlil (10:10:45 PM): **Could*
SongstressEnlil (10:10:55 PM): *Who has pickpocket?*
CGNakibe (10:11:06 PM): Not it!
Besyanteo (10:11:07 PM): ... Ha.
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:11:19 PM): *I don't get it :(*
SongstressEnlil (10:11:26 PM): * :D*
Idran1701 (10:11:36 PM): Nor do I. :(
Idran1701 (10:11:43 PM): Also no rogues in the party, Pervy.
Besyanteo (10:11:55 PM): Pervy, you should explain. It was sort of obscure,
SongstressEnlil (10:12:00 PM): *Oh well.*
Besyanteo (10:12:00 PM): considering it was like 3 weeks ago now.
SongstressEnlil (10:12:08 PM): *Bes: I know :D*
Idran1701 (10:12:55 PM): ANYWAY
OMG Priam (10:12:59 PM): ANYWAY.
Idran1701 (10:13:03 PM): I take it since everyone's fonting up that we're good to start?
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:13:04 PM): ANYWAY.
OMG Priam (10:13:11 PM): <changes into suit>
SongstressEnlil (10:13:20 PM): <Jah Lov- Wait, Wrong day>
CGNakibe (10:13:49 PM): <DIE. IN A FIRE.>
Besyanteo (10:13:59 PM): <That Fiar>
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:14:02 PM): <*Benchpresses you.*>
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:14:07 PM): <*Yes, all of you.*>
Idran1701 (10:15:07 PM): When last we left off, Mebis had been recovered, if not entirely in one piece. Further, Lil got a new guest, and Ken got a new gift!
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:15:40 PM): (Beastmasters are kind of freaky :( )
Idran1701 (10:16:05 PM): They soon return to the empty mausoleum, and pass through, returning to the small room within the Mortuary in Sigil.
SongstressEnlil (10:16:55 PM): *Moves aside to let others through without any difficulty, and waits for someone to come.*
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:16:56 PM): IM: This is easily the worst thing that's ever happened to me. ...How the hell do you know? Trust me.
Besyanteo (10:17:30 PM): *And.. he pops in after Karl.*
Besyanteo (10:17:36 PM): *Moving out of the way similarly*
OMG Priam (10:17:50 PM): *also enters, a little jarred by the need to use his legs again.*
Idran1701 (10:17:58 PM): It takes a slight bit to get used once more to gravity, but not too much trouble.
SongstressEnlil (10:18:14 PM): *Leans on his staff until comfortable with that.*
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:18:30 PM): *Fleshbags and you're not thining to prepare yourself!*
CGNakibe (10:19:43 PM): *cpops in and lands on his feet. For once today*
Idran1701 (10:19:46 PM): As the group returns through, the door is opened, and one of the Dustmen waits to greet them. Ah, you've returned.
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:20:07 PM): Yep.
OMG Priam (10:20:29 PM): *deep breath.*
OMG Priam (10:20:50 PM): *holds up the Dome of Mebis*
Idran1701 (10:21:07 PM): ...And I see you had some measure of success. Then I shall show you back to Nicolas's office.
SongstressEnlil (10:21:42 PM): *Nods to the Dustman, and follows him*
OMG Priam (10:21:50 PM): im: ....what have I come to? Touching the dead without a priest's protection...
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:22:01 PM): *Follows!*
SongstressEnlil (10:22:10 PM): (Lil: HUGS!)
Idran1701 (10:22:11 PM): (Klaus is a priest! :D)
OMG Priam (10:22:17 PM): *also follows*
Besyanteo (10:22:23 PM): (=D)
Besyanteo (10:22:27 PM): *Follow!*
CGNakibe (10:22:39 PM): (... Pray to the Burger King!)
OMG Priam (10:22:56 PM): (The time is one o'clock. Do you know where your God is now?)
SongstressEnlil (10:23:27 PM): (Lil: Yes. e_e)
Idran1701 (10:23:47 PM): They are led through the halls, and soon find themselves outside his door once more. I shall take the remains off of your hands for now, and bring them to the animation chambers.
CGNakibe (10:23:48 PM): (Larry: Hey Lil!)
SongstressEnlil (10:24:18 PM): IM: Nice of him to remove all doubt.
Idran1701 (10:25:19 PM): Nicolas awaits within.
OMG Priam (10:25:20 PM): *hands the Braincase over*
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:25:38 PM): IM: And of me? You think I'm going to mention you? To them?
OMG Priam (10:26:06 PM): im: It is perhaps lucky that this appears to be a magic-dead realm...
Besyanteo (10:26:16 PM): (Klaus: Oh, by the way- *stabbed* ... I need a healing potion and a midol. Travel expenses. ;_;)
CGNakibe (10:26:29 PM): (Larry: If you DON'T I'll tell everyone about how you want to be a Fairy Unicorn Princess)
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:26:55 PM): (Lil: Is that so wrong? ._.)
Idran1701 (10:26:56 PM): He takes the head and body, though he struggles a bit with the latter, and nods to them.
SongstressEnlil (10:27:02 PM): (Nicolas: We can refer you to a portal for that)
OMG Priam (10:27:16 PM): (The key is nails on a blackboard for five minutes)
Besyanteo (10:27:24 PM): (=D!)
SongstressEnlil (10:27:25 PM): *Seeing as no one else is, Karl will enter the office.*
Besyanteo (10:27:35 PM): *follow!*
OMG Priam (10:27:48 PM): *follows. Not terribly comfortable with all this, suddenly.*
Idran1701 (10:28:31 PM): Within, they see Nicolas standing, perusing a tome as he glances up at the pair. Ah, you're back. And were you successful?
SongstressEnlil (10:29:00 PM): The remains are being taken to the animation chamber as we speak.
Besyanteo (10:29:18 PM): (... Uhm, hey guys?)
Besyanteo (10:29:24 PM): (James is very suddenly moving.)
Besyanteo (10:29:33 PM): (To the West Coast. Tomorrow. o_o)
CGNakibe (10:29:37 PM): (... wait, wut?)
OMG Priam (10:29:39 PM): (James?)
Idran1701 (10:29:39 PM): (...Wh...)
CGNakibe (10:29:41 PM): (NOW?)
Idran1701 (10:29:42 PM): (His brother, Priam.)
SongstressEnlil (10:29:44 PM): (Hahahaha)
Besyanteo (10:29:44 PM): (That's what I said.)
OMG Priam (10:29:48 PM): (....what)
Idran1701 (10:29:55 PM): (...Why?)
Besyanteo (10:30:01 PM): (NPC Karl or something. I need to go. And I'll find out.)
Besyanteo (10:30:06 PM): (Later folks.)
Idran1701 (10:30:16 PM): (Right.)
OMG Priam (10:30:22 PM): (I thought Pervy was Karl)
Idran1701 (10:30:25 PM): (Pervy, hand over Karl's keys.)
CGNakibe (10:30:25 PM): (W.T.F.)
CGNakibe (10:30:29 PM): (hahaha)
SongstressEnlil (10:30:33 PM): (I don't wanna be NPCed ;_;)
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:30:49 PM): (..What?)
Besyanteo (10:31:03 PM): (... Klaus)
Besyanteo (10:31:08 PM): (anyway, out)
OMG Priam (10:31:30 PM): (I would say that is likely the first case of someone forgetting their own character name, but with RPGWW's roster I'm not too sure)
Idran1701 (10:31:36 PM): (*nod* Right, fair enough.)
Idran1701 (10:31:49 PM): (Anyway...)
Idran1701 (10:32:56 PM): *nods* Excellent. Then...first, though it was not part of our original agreement, there is a finder's fee we normally offer as part of such an act. 100 gold to each of you for your service in the name of the Dustmen.
OMG Priam (10:33:25 PM): *bows a bit*
Idran1701 (10:33:26 PM): Though I do not have the funds on me at the moment, I will arrange for them to be properly dispersed to the five of you.
SongstressEnlil (10:33:28 PM): Thank you.
Idran1701 (10:34:14 PM): And now, then, as per our original agreement...I am afraid that I was...not as capable as I assumed I would be. Oddly enough, I have been able to find out little about the Dead Truce itself, though my research into this continues.
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:34:38 PM): IM: One hundred? YOu are now the avatar of a g-Yeah, seriously. 125, at least..
SongstressEnlil (10:34:48 PM): IM: That explains it. Well, we'll let Lilium handle that.
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:35:05 PM): (Hey, Priam. I got a Cellphone :D)
OMG Priam (10:35:12 PM): (Surprise!!)
CGNakibe (10:35:17 PM): IM: Wonder how long those people will be taking in there...
Idran1701 (10:35:25 PM): But as for your condition, Lilium, I was able to find a potential lead. A reference to a similar animation performed by a baatezu who dabbled in the necromantic arts some centuries ago.
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:35:35 PM): ...Yeah, I already know about the truce.
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:35:38 PM): Huh?
CGNakibe (10:35:39 PM): *sighs* IM: ... I hate this place.
SongstressEnlil (10:35:52 PM): IM: That is...unexpected.
Idran1701 (10:36:05 PM): Refered to as "undead yet living" in the references I was able to find, and specific note was made of the lack of an apparant connection to the Negative Energy Plane.
SongstressEnlil (10:36:48 PM): *Listening very intentally, now.*
Idran1701 (10:36:48 PM): From what I was able to tell, this baatezu still lives as far as most are aware. He dwells within the city of Dis, located on the plane of Baator.
OnlineHost (10:37:24 PM): SongstressEnlil rolled 1 20-sided die: 9
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:38:14 PM): How do you get there?
SongstressEnlil (10:38:16 PM): IM: Oh dear. Oh dear, oh dear.
SongstressEnlil (10:38:27 PM): And what of the undead he made?
Idran1701 (10:38:53 PM): It was refered to as a failed experiment. Too lively and free-willed.
SongstressEnlil (10:39:19 PM): Disposed, I take it?
Idran1701 (10:39:50 PM): *nods* In the end he had this subject deanimated as not suiting his goals, though he did mention it was based on prior research.
CGNakibe (10:39:59 PM): IM: This whole... plane... Dammit. The sooner we find a way back to our plane the better.
SongstressEnlil (10:40:09 PM): *Nods*
Idran1701 (10:40:12 PM): Uncited, unfortunately, given the baatezu proclivity for protecting potential sources of information from discovery by others of their kind. the very record itself is an anomoly, in fact.
SongstressEnlil (10:41:02 PM): You feel it is dependable?
Idran1701 (10:41:30 PM): His other records are accurate enough, yes.
Idran1701 (10:42:10 PM): And as for a means of transit...I am afraid I know none myself, but Dis is a large city.
OMG Priam (10:42:19 PM): im: There are ever more surprises behind this land...
Idran1701 (10:42:31 PM): I am sure finding such means will not be difficult. I know a great deal of trade is done with that city.
SongstressEnlil (10:42:51 PM): *Nods*
SongstressEnlil (10:43:52 PM): Who is this baatezu?
Idran1701 (10:44:38 PM): A kocrachon by the name of Karth'Zanon.
Idran1701 (10:45:19 PM): He serves now as a surgeon within Dis.
Idran1701 (10:45:44 PM): According to what I was able to discover, at least.
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:45:51 PM): *Nods*
SongstressEnlil (10:46:15 PM): I'd be mildly surprised if research records held more than that. Thank you.
Idran1701 (10:47:05 PM): *to Lil* As I said, I shall continue to investigate further into the Truce itself. You were told of the basics, but the gap in our records is...odd. I can find no mention of where it was made, or when, or even with whom.
Idran1701 (10:47:15 PM): Not beyond vague generalities at least.
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:47:51 PM): What sort of odd?
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:47:58 PM): (Er, scratch.)
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:47:59 PM): (Misread :O)
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:48:08 PM): Hmm..
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:48:17 PM): Is there any way you could keep me updated?
Idran1701 (10:49:05 PM): While you remain in Sigil, yes. If you do leave, I shall see what I can do. The Dustmen are widespread, it should not be too difficult to find you should you keep us appraised of your whereabouts.
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:50:08 PM): *Nods*
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:50:30 PM): IM: I'm not sure how I hsould feel about that. Then you should destroy them. That's your answer to everything!
CGNakibe (10:51:02 PM): (Larry: And its an AWESOME answer too)
Idran1701 (10:51:23 PM): If there is nothing further? I assume that you will be residing at the same inn while you remain within Sigil?
SongstressEnlil (10:51:41 PM): Might I ask a question on a different subject? With luck, it shall be a simple one for you.
SongstressEnlil (10:51:50 PM): *Shall => should
Idran1701 (10:51:55 PM): Perhaps it shall. Your question?
SongstressEnlil (10:52:39 PM): Am I incorrect to assume that deceased deities would fall under your faction's sphere of interest?
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:53:01 PM): IM: I'm going to kill him. That's your answer to everything.
Idran1701 (10:53:21 PM): To some degree, yes. Though few seem to have moved on to the True Death, clinging to life here as they do.
SongstressEnlil (10:53:39 PM): *Nods* I was wondering if you kept a record of them.
CGNakibe (10:53:57 PM): IM: What are they DOING in there anyway?
SongstressEnlil (10:54:00 PM): In particularly, I want to know if a certain deity has died or not.
CGNakibe (10:54:20 PM): IM: ... probably screwing things up. Maybe.
Idran1701 (10:54:35 PM): No special record, though they may be imprinted upon the Monument outside. This is something you would likely be better suited to speak with the Athar about. They have a much stronger vested interest in this field.
SongstressEnlil (10:54:51 PM): Alright.
Idran1701 (10:55:20 PM): The identity of one in life is of little meaning to us, you see, once they have moved beyond.
SongstressEnlil (10:55:36 PM): I see.
Idran1701 (10:56:02 PM): *to Lil and Ken and I guess technically Klaus* And you?
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:56:20 PM): I'm fine.
Idran1701 (10:58:16 PM): (You still with us, Priam? :O)
OMG Priam (10:58:47 PM): (Indeed)
OMG Priam (10:59:04 PM): *quirks an eyebrow questioningly.*
CGNakibe (10:59:04 PM): (I see.)
Idran1701 (10:59:17 PM): *to just Ken* Any further questions?
OMG Priam (10:59:31 PM): *shakes head slowly*
Idran1701 (10:59:37 PM): *nods* I shall keep in contact with you all, then.
Idran1701 (11:00:31 PM): As I have nothing further myself, you are free to leave.
OMG Priam (11:01:09 PM): *does so, after another bow.*
SongstressEnlil (11:01:17 PM): Thank you for your efforts, Nicolas.
Idran1701 (11:01:40 PM): And outside, a messenger zombie passes Arian by as the group rejoins him. Is it staring at him?
CGNakibe (11:01:42 PM): Took you all long enough. e.e
CGNakibe (11:01:58 PM): What WERE you all discussing in there?
Idran1701 (11:02:03 PM): And I thank you for yours.
CGNakibe (11:02:11 PM): <.<
TheWaiChibiAngel (11:02:16 PM): Things.
CGNakibe (11:02:22 PM): <.<;; What are you staring at me like that for?
SongstressEnlil (11:02:26 PM): *Makes his way out.*
Idran1701 (11:02:35 PM): *blank stare*
CGNakibe (11:02:38 PM): *looks over at the creepy zombie.*
SongstressEnlil (11:02:56 PM): Arian, I see you've found someone to talk to.
Idran1701 (11:03:07 PM): It resumes its shambling down soon after Karl's exit, acting as if it'd never seen Arian.
CGNakibe (11:03:15 PM): Feh.
CGNakibe (11:03:30 PM): (Arian: ;_; You only like me for my brains!)
Idran1701 (11:03:42 PM): (Zombie: *drops Arian for Karl*)
SongstressEnlil (11:03:52 PM): *Starts for the hopefully familiar way out*
CGNakibe (11:03:55 PM): (Arian: *weeps*)
SongstressEnlil (11:04:12 PM): So, you intend to go to Dis, Lilium?
CGNakibe (11:04:20 PM): Dis? What for?
TheWaiChibiAngel (11:04:33 PM): Likely.
SongstressEnlil (11:04:58 PM): In short, it seems there is a baatezu there that has managed to animate a being that seems to resemble Lilium.
SongstressEnlil (11:05:28 PM): Dis is a city of fiends, in the middle of one of their home planes.
CGNakibe (11:05:48 PM): And what? We're supposed to ask this one nicely how he put Lilium together so he could potentially help take her apart? e.e
TheWaiChibiAngel (11:07:00 PM): Wait, fiends?
SongstressEnlil (11:07:19 PM): Yes.
SongstressEnlil (11:07:33 PM): I believe the baatezu are one race of them.
Idran1701 (11:08:57 PM): Exiting the mortuary, the five are given the mentioned payment, and the gate is shut behind them.
SongstressEnlil (11:09:14 PM): *Looks around for that monument*
SongstressEnlil (11:09:26 PM): Thank you. *To payment guy*
Idran1701 (11:09:38 PM): (It's a large black obelisk in the middle of a square set of archways, just about a block ahead in the middle of an otherwise-empty square.)
TheWaiChibiAngel (11:09:49 PM): Hmph...
Idran1701 (11:10:26 PM): Another Dustman seems to stand watch nearby the pillar, oddly motionless even for one of their kind.
SongstressEnlil (11:10:49 PM): *Looks for Amsoth*
CGNakibe (11:11:17 PM): The very idea of going to a city of fiends in search of advice seems half-baked at the very least.
Idran1701 (11:11:24 PM): (He's not around, but knowing him and his feelings about this place, he's probably at that nearby bar getting bubbed up again.)
SongstressEnlil (11:11:39 PM): Quite. But it is also mentioned that a good deal of trade happens there.
SongstressEnlil (11:11:51 PM): This does seem to imply one can visit and live.
SongstressEnlil (11:12:20 PM): I would like to learn more before committing myself to such a trip.
CGNakibe (11:12:22 PM): I'm told a man can live without a soul for quite some time. -.-
TheWaiChibiAngel (11:12:22 PM): Hmm..
SongstressEnlil (11:12:40 PM): Much my thoughts, Arian.
TheWaiChibiAngel (11:12:47 PM): *Sighs* That means we're staying here awhile longer, huh?
SongstressEnlil (11:13:19 PM): Probably, unless we find a gate home, and you decide you'd rather go there.
SongstressEnlil (11:15:03 PM): *Looks to the rest.*
OMG Priam (11:15:31 PM): *contributing his silence!*
TheWaiChibiAngel (11:15:41 PM): ...No, I don't think I want to go back until this is delt with.
Idran1701 (11:16:05 PM): (Karl approaching that monument?)
SongstressEnlil (11:16:22 PM): (If the rest are walking that way)
CGNakibe (11:17:41 PM): *muttergrumble*damnhorribletrips...*grumble*foolisherrands...
Idran1701 (11:17:45 PM): (If no one says otherwise, I shall assume they are. :O)
OMG Priam (11:17:54 PM): (Indeed!)
TheWaiChibiAngel (11:18:01 PM): (Yep :O)
OMG Priam (11:18:01 PM): *is following whoever appears to know where they are going*
Idran1701 (11:18:34 PM): The fivesome heads towards that landmark, and as they near, they note something interesting; this isn't a Dustman, but a statue, carved to resemble one.
Idran1701 (11:18:43 PM): An extremely lifelike work, from a distance (and given the drab nature of your average Dustman), quite indistinguishable.
Idran1701 (11:19:01 PM): (*, and from)
SongstressEnlil (11:19:37 PM): *Pays it little mind, he'll go to have a look at the monument itself.*
Idran1701 (11:19:48 PM): In fact, as the group nears it, they could almost swear...oh, it did look at them.
Idran1701 (11:20:01 PM): NAME?
SongstressEnlil (11:20:29 PM): *Tonbae. But he'll note the others.*
CGNakibe (11:20:30 PM): *jumps a bit* O.o; What?
CGNakibe (11:20:35 PM): .... Oh. o.o
SongstressEnlil (11:20:47 PM): What's wrong, Arian?
TheWaiChibiAngel (11:21:02 PM): ...
CGNakibe (11:21:09 PM): Hm. o.o *peers at it* That's interesting.
TheWaiChibiAngel (11:21:25 PM): Lilium Cilestro.
SongstressEnlil (11:21:35 PM): *Looking at the monument*
CGNakibe (11:21:38 PM): *mutters*but why did they go through the trouble?
Idran1701 (11:21:43 PM): *to Lil first* THAT ONE YET LIVES.
CGNakibe (11:21:59 PM): Still. Fascinating.
TheWaiChibiAngel (11:22:03 PM): ...Okay?
CGNakibe (11:22:05 PM): And... oddly fititng. 9.9
Idran1701 (11:22:06 PM): *to Karl* THAT ONE IS UNRECORDED. SHALL HIS NAME BE INTERRED?
SongstressEnlil (11:22:11 PM): (Oh, I misinterpretted)
Idran1701 (11:22:22 PM): (Ah, he didn't say Tonbae?)
SongstressEnlil (11:22:30 PM): (HE DID NOW)
Idran1701 (11:22:36 PM): (SWITCH THE ORDER THEN)
SongstressEnlil (11:22:48 PM): No. Not yet.
OMG Priam (11:23:02 PM): ....Ka-gu-tsu-chi.
SongstressEnlil (11:23:11 PM): IM: What a morbid thing. I wonder what it does for duplicate names?
CGNakibe (11:23:19 PM): Hm? >.> *looks over at the foreign man.*
SongstressEnlil (11:23:21 PM): (Priam: Teehee :D)
OMG Priam (11:23:25 PM): (=D)
OMG Priam (11:23:31 PM): (Also, Morrie is awesome)
CGNakibe (11:23:45 PM): This seems like such a simple task, though. 9.9 I wonder.
TheWaiChibiAngel (11:23:56 PM): (You know, I was thinking about that at work earlier.)
Idran1701 (11:24:00 PM): THAT ONE IS UNRECORDED. SHALL HIS NAME BE INTERRED?
TheWaiChibiAngel (11:24:02 PM): (I was all "What the hell kind of name is that?")
OMG Priam (11:24:08 PM): No.
OMG Priam (11:24:22 PM): im: I suppose that makes sense...
SongstressEnlil (11:24:33 PM): IM: I wonder how it works?
Idran1701 (11:25:13 PM): Meanwhile, within, they can see just what this is. Thousands, tens of thousands of small names cover all surfaces of the obelisk and the archways around it; this is likely a monument for those that have no other.
CGNakibe (11:25:16 PM): I'd be quite interested in finding out who made this thing.
SongstressEnlil (11:26:01 PM): Kenichiro, do golems exist in your lands?
OMG Priam (11:26:38 PM): ....In legends.
SongstressEnlil (11:27:19 PM): *Nods* Much the same.
SongstressEnlil (11:27:25 PM): In our lands, that is.
Idran1701 (11:27:39 PM): It continues to watch the group silently, not reacting to their discussion amongst themselves.
CGNakibe (11:28:11 PM): IM: I wonder. Did this particular one use any other focii other than the normal ones? Perhaps there was a purpose to this specific type of stone...
SongstressEnlil (11:28:11 PM): No record of anyone even trying since the Devastation.
OMG Priam (11:28:28 PM): im: I wonder if this is even specific to deities, if any name can be added to the list...
CGNakibe (11:28:31 PM): *examine examine.*
TheWaiChibiAngel (11:28:44 PM): IM: Well, what is it? I have no idea.
OMG Priam (11:28:47 PM): im: I wonder if the deities from our realm also have presences here...
Idran1701 (11:28:52 PM): (It looks to be some sort of simple granite.)
TheWaiChibiAngel (11:28:54 PM): *Flatly* Larry.
SongstressEnlil (11:29:38 PM): IM: I wonder where Amsoth would be at? I'd prefer not to go through here without a guide just yet.
Idran1701 (11:29:41 PM): There's the briefest of pauses before the statue once more responds. THAT ONE IS UNRECORDED. SHALL ITS NAME BE INTERRED?
CGNakibe (11:30:59 PM): *raises his eyebrow* Lillium? o.o
CGNakibe (11:32:01 PM): What ARE you doing?
OMG Priam (11:32:10 PM): ..........!
TheWaiChibiAngel (11:32:12 PM): That's his name.
TheWaiChibiAngel (11:32:16 PM): Larry.
TheWaiChibiAngel (11:32:23 PM): He can't remember. So I gave him one.
Idran1701 (11:32:36 PM): The statue awaits a response.
CGNakibe (11:32:44 PM): ... that's....
SongstressEnlil (11:32:46 PM): IM: We are definitely going to need to have a talk.
CGNakibe (11:32:46 PM): ...
TheWaiChibiAngel (11:32:58 PM): *Statue!* No, no.
SongstressEnlil (11:33:05 PM): Otto Hendrick.
Idran1701 (11:33:36 PM): The pause is slightly longer now, but again it speaks. THAT ONE IS UNRECORDED. SHALL HIS NAME BE INTERRED?
SongstressEnlil (11:33:43 PM): Yes.
Idran1701 (11:34:31 PM): Stepping into the monument, the statue moves with purpose to a corner. Placing its fingertips (which seem to be shaped as chisels) against the stone, it begins slowly carving in an empty spot upon the edifice.
Idran1701 (11:35:11 PM): (Karl: Cheaper than a real tombstone!)
SongstressEnlil (11:35:14 PM): Interesting.
OMG Priam (11:35:18 PM): Lilium Cilestro.
Idran1701 (11:35:38 PM): *upon the being's return* THAT ONE YET LIVES
OMG Priam (11:35:47 PM): *looks at Karl.*
TheWaiChibiAngel (11:36:00 PM): We tried that.
SongstressEnlil (11:36:10 PM): *Nods* Curious, isn't it?
OMG Priam (11:36:14 PM): *nods.*
SongstressEnlil (11:36:27 PM): I hope that made grandpa happy, though.
CGNakibe (11:36:28 PM): It seems to be quite adept at keeping records.
CGNakibe (11:37:01 PM): Although I wonder how many sources they've allowed it for its information?
OMG Priam (11:37:04 PM): im: So it is not just for deities...
Idran1701 (11:37:09 PM): (:D)
SongstressEnlil (11:37:58 PM): Anyone know where Amsoth is?
Idran1701 (11:38:19 PM): (Arian and Ken'd know of his tavernous proclivities from last time.)
OMG Priam (11:38:28 PM): ....
CGNakibe (11:38:31 PM): Probably at the bar.
OMG Priam (11:38:38 PM): *to the statue* The Kazerian.
CGNakibe (11:38:41 PM): This place being as creepy as it is.
CGNakibe (11:38:48 PM): ... <.<
Idran1701 (11:38:52 PM): THAT ONE YET LIVES.
CGNakibe (11:38:59 PM): ...more's the pity.
SongstressEnlil (11:39:02 PM): I was tempted to try that myself. *to Ken*
TheWaiChibiAngel (11:39:26 PM): Roberto T Gilgam.
OMG Priam (11:39:45 PM): *to Karl* Do you know of any citizens of the Kazerian's ancient city?
Idran1701 (11:39:51 PM): *to Lil* THAT ONE DOES NOT EXIST
TheWaiChibiAngel (11:40:27 PM): Hmm...
CGNakibe (11:40:29 PM): Fascinating.
SongstressEnlil (11:40:31 PM): Sventrath comes to mind. But...I don't think I could name anyone whom we saw frozen. I hardly knew them.
TheWaiChibiAngel (11:40:32 PM): Steel Mongoose.
CGNakibe (11:40:37 PM): That DOES make you wonder how it knows.
Idran1701 (11:40:39 PM): THAT ONE YET LIVES
OMG Priam (11:41:10 PM): *did he just shrug a little?* Sventrath.
TheWaiChibiAngel (11:41:15 PM): Hmm...
Idran1701 (11:41:16 PM): THAT ONE...
CGNakibe (11:41:20 PM): What sorts of sources does it draw from? Does it only take in what it is told by its masters or is there some other element we haven't seen yet?
Idran1701 (11:41:21 PM): ...
Idran1701 (11:41:33 PM): ...
CGNakibe (11:41:34 PM): ... eh? What's wrong with it? o.o
OMG Priam (11:41:36 PM): (God dammit, it ate my quarters. Shake it!)\
SongstressEnlil (11:41:39 PM): Well.
CGNakibe (11:41:43 PM): (Tilt. Tilt!)
TheWaiChibiAngel (11:41:47 PM): Commander Ironpike.
Idran1701 (11:41:47 PM): ...YET...LIVES
SongstressEnlil (11:41:57 PM): (Reboot it)
OMG Priam (11:41:58 PM): >_>
OMG Priam (11:42:06 PM): *turns to Karl, wider eyed than usual!*
CGNakibe (11:42:07 PM): Wait, what?
SongstressEnlil (11:42:07 PM): Very interesting.
Idran1701 (11:42:15 PM): *to Lil!* THAT ONE YET LIVES
SongstressEnlil (11:42:22 PM): We'll definitely have to find him.
SongstressEnlil (11:42:42 PM): *Grins to Ken.*
OnlineHost (11:42:55 PM): SongstressEnlil rolled 1 20-sided die: 15
CGNakibe (11:43:00 PM): >.> Assuming we can get back TO find him.
OMG Priam (11:43:09 PM): *nod*
SongstressEnlil (11:43:22 PM): If we can get to a city in the plane of fiends, I am certain we can get home.
SongstressEnlil (11:44:04 PM): It's...possible Sventrath was the one who was frozen in that study, though.
SongstressEnlil (11:44:34 PM): That doesn't feel quite right to me, though.
SongstressEnlil (11:45:24 PM): Rather a shame there is not some way to draw him into the Astral Plane, and be sure.
CGNakibe (11:46:09 PM): Hm. Well, I think I've had enough fun with the golem for now.
CGNakibe (11:46:35 PM): IM: Although.... if they can do that here, I wonder what else they could manage?
CGNakibe (11:46:45 PM): <.<
SongstressEnlil (11:48:07 PM): I suppose this goes back to my original question.
TheWaiChibiAngel (11:48:41 PM): *Stands!*
SongstressEnlil (11:50:33 PM): *Looks to everyone*
CGNakibe (11:51:42 PM): Yes?
SongstressEnlil (11:52:02 PM): Have aniy idea where our guide would be?
Idran1701 (11:52:11 PM): (Arian answered him.)
SongstressEnlil (11:52:37 PM): (He's wanting more detail :D)
CGNakibe (11:52:50 PM): I told you before. He's probably busy getting drunk and shaking off the effects of this.. place. There is a bar nearby here.
CGNakibe (11:53:09 PM): Assuming he's waited for us instead of running off somewhere.
SongstressEnlil (11:53:10 PM): Lead the way, then.
CGNakibe (11:53:39 PM): *ah, its good to be leader. Heads directly for the place*
SongstressEnlil (11:53:57 PM): IM: Twit.
Idran1701 (11:54:19 PM): He heads out, soon bringing the group to the Gathering Dust Tavern and Inn. Within there are a number of Dustmen drinking, but none of the boisterousness that normally fills these establishments.
Idran1701 (11:54:45 PM): Indeed, it's solemn as a funeral here, as most drink their brew in silence. Well, with the exception of that drunkard at the bar.
Idran1701 (11:55:20 PM): ...'ey! Y're back!
SongstressEnlil (11:55:56 PM): *Nods* Ready for a change of scenery?
Idran1701 (11:55:56 PM): Looks like he's still got his words straight for today, at least.
Idran1701 (11:56:14 PM): Oh, indeed I am! Lead th' way!
CGNakibe (11:56:24 PM): *eyebrows raise*
Idran1701 (11:57:32 PM): Ain't a bad kip, but th' atmosphere leaves something to be desired, eh? *chortles*
CGNakibe (11:57:41 PM): WHAT atmosphere?
Idran1701 (11:58:07 PM): ...Ha! That's why I like you, Aaron!
SongstressEnlil (11:58:19 PM): *Chuckes*
SongstressEnlil (11:58:24 PM): **Chuckles
CGNakibe (11:58:24 PM): ... e.e+
Idran1701 (11:58:32 PM): The other patrons, rather than glaring at him, seem to be content to ignore his utter existence.
SongstressEnlil (11:58:43 PM): Let's go, shall we?
SongstressEnlil (11:58:58 PM): IM: I wonder what would happen if I hurled a brick in the middle of the room?
OMG Priam (11:58:58 PM): .........
Idran1701 (11:59:34 PM): (I think this might possibly be the one time Karl and Lil would ever have the same thoughts about something.)
TheWaiChibiAngel (12:00:02 AM): (Perhaps.)
SongstressEnlil (12:00:02 AM): (I dunno. Does Lil hate chocolate cake?)
CGNakibe (12:00:18 AM): (If she does then she's a GODLESS HEATHEN.)
CGNakibe (12:00:23 AM): (...oh, wait. Nevermind.)
CGNakibe (12:00:34 AM): (Larry takes care of everything! :D!)
SongstressEnlil (12:00:36 AM): *Steps outside*
Idran1701 (12:01:03 AM): (So, then, I'm going to timeskip ahead a couple of days here if there's no objections.)
Idran1701 (12:01:06 AM): (Anything you all will be taking care of during that time, feel free to let me know, and if there's something you really want to RP out, we can do that.)
CGNakibe (12:01:13 AM): *follows Karl outside*
CGNakibe (12:01:25 AM): *w to Karl* You know the sad thing about this?
SongstressEnlil (12:01:34 AM): (Maybe some minor things in between times. We'll talk later.)
Idran1701 (12:01:35 AM): (But buying supplies or that sort of thing, we can just handle in OOC.)
CGNakibe (12:01:37 AM): I actually prefer him before. >.>
SongstressEnlil (12:02:08 AM): *quietly* I have the feeling if we wait long enough, he'll be like that again.
CGNakibe (12:02:16 AM): Eyup.
OMG Priam (12:02:24 AM): (Kenichiro will mostly just practice his new combat skills in the interim. Nothing to see here.)
OnlineHost (12:02:33 AM): CGNakibe rolled 1 20-sided die: 9
SongstressEnlil (12:02:44 AM): (Karl's going to be doing what researches he can)
SongstressEnlil (12:03:12 AM): (Dis and Gates to Legunda being on the top of the list.)
CGNakibe (12:03:38 AM): (Golem research here. And Dis since that unfortunately seems like our next location.)
OnlineHost (12:08:12 AM): OMG Priam rolled 1 20-sided die: 18
TheWaiChibiAngel (12:09:12 AM): (Trying to get Larry out. He needs to get a job. Douchebag.)
OnlineHost (12:11:00 AM): SongstressEnlil rolled 1 20-sided die: 16
Idran1701 (12:12:19 AM): (Believe I've taken care of everyone's IMly details? :O)
CGNakibe (12:12:59 AM): (I'm done!)
OnlineHost (12:13:54 AM): SongstressEnlil rolled 1 20-sided die: 7
TheWaiChibiAngel (12:16:12 AM): (This just in: Tareen wears three pairs of glasses. At the same time.)
SongstressEnlil (12:16:34 AM): (But on her face?)
TheWaiChibiAngel (12:16:55 AM): (Who are you to judge?)
Idran1701 (12:17:00 AM): The days pass, and the group continues their stay at the Dragon's Vault.
Idran1701 (12:17:13 AM): The innkeep, who they have since learned is a Prime herself by the name of Melissa Quickriver, is a common sight; especially since she's usually the only other one in the building.
Idran1701 (12:18:23 AM): That afternoon, they subsist on a meal of some sort of boar meat once more...ah, no, apparantly that's "fhorge" meat. Tastes better than boar, actually, but still pretty close.
Idran1701 (12:18:49 AM): (Also feel free to change that for those that'd order something else. My own bit of color. :O)
CGNakibe (12:19:03 AM): *munch munch* And we're 100% sure this isn't boar meat? o.o Its not half bad.
SongstressEnlil (12:19:27 AM): *Fhorge? Is that Sigilian for tasty? It is as far as Karl's concerned!*
SongstressEnlil (12:19:39 AM): Quite so. Quite so. *Yawns*
SongstressEnlil (12:19:54 AM): Rather a shame we don't have it back home.
(12:20:10 AM) Besyanteo has left the room.
OMG Priam (12:20:18 AM): (Has Kenichiro been able to find 'proper' eating utensils?)
Idran1701 (12:21:03 AM): (Close enough facsimiles. A couple silver for things said to be straight from somewhere called the "Celestial Bureaucracy".)
Idran1701 (12:21:15 AM): ([Yes I know that's Chinese not Japanese.])
OMG Priam (12:21:31 AM): (Hey, it's all good in the made-up mishmosh of Ryokkugan!)
SongstressEnlil (12:22:07 AM): (Ken; Odin? Yeah, we got that.)
Idran1701 (12:22:16 AM): (And also go ahead and mark off another 1 gold each for the last two nights spent here.)
SongstressEnlil (12:22:22 AM): (Roit)
Idran1701 (12:22:24 AM): (The lot of you, that is, not just Ken.)
CGNakibe (12:22:51 AM): Apparently not.
CGNakibe (12:23:21 AM): (But but.. Ken's so awesome he WANTS to pay for all of us! >:{)
TheWaiChibiAngel (12:24:09 AM): *Has taken to eating less. Hmm..*
SongstressEnlil (12:25:02 AM): Well, we'll have time to get used to it. I've had no luck finding a way back.
CGNakibe (12:25:30 AM): Well...
SongstressEnlil (12:25:48 AM): Though I still have a few sources to explore.
CGNakibe (12:25:48 AM): I did manage to find a way we could get to Dis.
SongstressEnlil (12:25:55 AM): *Nods* Go on?
OMG Priam (12:26:03 AM): .....
CGNakibe (12:26:34 AM): A trade caravan. Headed to Dis. They had a job posting for it.
CGNakibe (12:26:48 AM): Posted by a Planar Trade Consortium.
SongstressEnlil (12:27:25 AM): *Nods* Know anything about them?
CGNakibe (12:27:57 AM): Not yet.
SongstressEnlil (12:28:17 AM): *Nods*
CGNakibe (12:28:23 AM): Although I did attempt to memorize their trade route for future reference.
CGNakibe (12:28:38 AM): Sigil, Dis... um.. Ribcage, Tradegate....
SongstressEnlil (12:28:57 AM): If nothing else, I expect they have a way in and a way out. It would be a shame to only find a one-way gate there.
OMG Priam (12:29:00 AM): What is the current plan to turn the baatezu to our favor in this matter? You called him a fiend...
SongstressEnlil (12:30:31 AM): I have yet to try and tackle that question. I've only a little knowledge about the baatezu, and Kocrachons in particular
CGNakibe (12:31:32 AM): A moment. *rummages around.* I thought this might... Here.
SongstressEnlil (12:31:34 AM): They are known as surgeons among their kind, the Kocrachons. It seems to be a general passion for them.
SongstressEnlil (12:31:40 AM): Hm?
TheWaiChibiAngel (12:32:18 AM): IM: This shouldbe good.
CGNakibe (12:32:59 AM): *hands Karl a list of places along the trade route* Figured I might not remember them all. So I did what I could.
SongstressEnlil (12:33:17 AM): *Takes it and looks it over.*
Idran1701 (12:34:36 AM): As Karl looks, there's Melissa with their drinks. Thought I'd pour you all something special this time. Arborean spice tea, straight from the fields of Arvandor. No extra charge.
SongstressEnlil (12:34:43 AM): *Grins*
OMG Priam (12:34:52 AM): *bows.* Many thanks.
SongstressEnlil (12:34:52 AM): *While reading, that is*
SongstressEnlil (12:35:00 AM): Thank you, Melissa.
SongstressEnlil (12:35:19 AM): Hmm. There is another benefit to this.
SongstressEnlil (12:35:57 AM): Delon-Estin Oti is reputedly home to a particularly well-organized library of some repute.
CGNakibe (12:36:12 AM): OH? That IS handy.
SongstressEnlil (12:36:16 AM): I've heard it suggested while looking for a way home.
Idran1701 (12:36:29 AM): (d20s for those drinking the tea. :O)
OnlineHost (12:36:47 AM): CGNakibe rolled 1 20-sided die: 20
CGNakibe (12:36:53 AM): (ACK)
OnlineHost (12:37:21 AM): SongstressEnlil rolled 1 20-sided die: 13
TheWaiChibiAngel (12:37:41 AM): *DOESN'T DRINK TEA, LUCKY FOR YOU!*
CGNakibe (12:39:32 AM): Ah... A fine day for starting out, I'd say.
SongstressEnlil (12:39:43 AM): *Nods*
OnlineHost (12:40:01 AM): OMG Priam rolled 1 20-sided die: 2
OMG Priam (12:40:05 AM): (Swish!)
TheWaiChibiAngel (12:41:08 AM): *mumbles* Freakin' libraries.
SongstressEnlil (12:41:09 AM): As I was saying...*sip* Kocrachons are surgeons, and have a great passion for it. Often, passionate enough to not care whether their work is needed or wanted.
TheWaiChibiAngel (12:41:41 AM): (Oh shit, the Vahzilok!)
SongstressEnlil (12:41:46 AM): They seem to enjoy, ah, experimenting as well.
Idran1701 (12:41:48 AM): (:O!)
CGNakibe (12:41:54 AM): We could probably find quite a bit at that library if we tried.
SongstressEnlil (12:42:01 AM): *Nods*
SongstressEnlil (12:42:25 AM): I certainly intend to do so.
SongstressEnlil (12:43:06 AM): In general, I've found the Baatezu seem to be rather legalistic.
SongstressEnlil (12:43:53 AM): Overly fond of intricate contracts and the like. Their plane, Baator, if what I read is correct, is the most foul tyranny to ever be..
CGNakibe (12:44:06 AM): Hmph.
SongstressEnlil (12:44:33 AM): We may be able to make a deal with it.
SongstressEnlil (12:44:42 AM): But, well, we'd have to be very careful.
CGNakibe (12:45:06 AM): And beware of people trying to sell you things, huh?
OMG Priam (12:45:09 AM): Is there a standard language?
SongstressEnlil (12:46:09 AM): I want to say that common is used there, but I am certain they have their own language. It wouldn't surprise me to learn they have a few.
SongstressEnlil (12:47:11 AM): But, common, or Planar as it is called here, should suffice for conversing. For any written contract, though...
SongstressEnlil (12:47:38 AM): From what I have gathered, though, Baatezu seem to honor their word.
SongstressEnlil (12:47:47 AM): Just, they adhere to the letter, not the spirit.
Idran1701 (12:48:51 AM): (And yet it's the high-level tanar'ri with the ability to use Wish.)
SongstressEnlil (12:50:51 AM): Thus, we might be able to convince him to tell us what we want. We'll just have to be very careful.
CGNakibe (12:52:34 AM): Hmph. This whole thing still doesn't sound good.
SongstressEnlil (12:52:46 AM): It does not.
SongstressEnlil (12:53:24 AM): But, given we'll be in the middle of a city full of his overly legalistic and tyranny-inclined kin, we'll almost certain have to play by its rules.
SongstressEnlil (12:53:29 AM): *his rules
CGNakibe (12:53:53 AM): One problem.
CGNakibe (12:54:07 AM): Do we know anything about these rules?
OnlineHost (12:55:32 AM): SongstressEnlil rolled 1 20-sided die: 6
CGNakibe (12:57:18 AM): (Mew?)
SongstressEnlil (12:57:34 AM): (Consulting. Asshole.)
TheWaiChibiAngel (12:57:35 AM): *Oddly quiet. PERHAPS ARGUING WITH A CERTAIN FINGERPRINT*
CGNakibe (12:58:02 AM): (I didn't know your asshole did consulting work. >:{)
SongstressEnlil (12:59:18 AM): Well, non-baatezu are of course seen as lower class.
SongstressEnlil (12:59:29 AM): And potential slaves for at least some, I am certain.
SongstressEnlil (1:00:13 AM): And, as far as agreements go, we'd have to be on the lookout for loopholes and tricky wording, of course.
SongstressEnlil (1:00:51 AM): I am certain no few would lie about their laws to get one to break an agreement.
CGNakibe (1:01:23 AM): Lovely.
TheWaiChibiAngel (1:01:32 AM): Hrmph.
SongstressEnlil (1:01:37 AM): I want to say that one can legally break an 'illegal" agreement without any repercussions from the law.
SongstressEnlil (1:02:25 AM): Not that this would necessarily stop the fiend in question from just biting your head off in a very literal sense for doing so.
SongstressEnlil (1:03:11 AM): I believe, though, we should consider this caravan.
SongstressEnlil (1:03:45 AM): I would like to see how they provide for their employees in Dis, myself.
CGNakibe (1:03:54 AM): I figured it'd be an option. And it turns out to be particularly attractive too.
TheWaiChibiAngel (1:04:22 AM): Larry's saying something about "'Loths"
TheWaiChibiAngel (1:04:33 AM): How you can always figure what side they're on- The winning side.
CGNakibe (1:05:36 AM): ... I remember someone telling me once to "Watch the rats".
CGNakibe (1:06:09 AM): I wonder what they meant by that. 9.9
SongstressEnlil (1:06:12 AM): Does he say what are Loths?
SongstressEnlil (1:06:19 AM): **Loths are?
TheWaiChibiAngel (1:08:03 AM): Some other kind of fiend.
CGNakibe (1:09:08 AM): ... and you're okay with that? That... thing still being in your head, I mean. >.>
TheWaiChibiAngel (1:09:22 AM): No, I'm not.
TheWaiChibiAngel (1:09:28 AM): But there' snothing I can do.
CGNakibe (1:09:57 AM): Were it some other thing I'd suggest an exorcism. >.>
SongstressEnlil (1:10:47 AM): Actually, there may be a faction that would help with that. Have you heard of the Athar?
CGNakibe (1:11:21 AM): Athar... Athar...That name DOES sound familiar..
SongstressEnlil (1:11:35 AM): Nicolas suggested I ask them about Tonbae.
SongstressEnlil (1:11:51 AM): To my knowledge, they are people who deny the gods are, well, gods.
CGNakibe (1:12:18 AM): What a strange notion.
SongstressEnlil (1:12:19 AM): I imagine, then, they would be all too pleased to help deal with Larry.
TheWaiChibiAngel (1:12:29 AM): Yeah, I thought of that...
TheWaiChibiAngel (1:12:35 AM): I don't know what todo, really.
SongstressEnlil (1:12:37 AM): I admit, I don't know much more than that about them.
SongstressEnlil (1:13:03 AM): *Nods to Lilium*
SongstressEnlil (1:14:16 AM): Perhaps I am biased, but I don't think I'd want a dead god trying to take root in my mind. I don't think there could be much harm in asking the Athar if they could do anything.
TheWaiChibiAngel (1:15:46 AM): *Nods* Are there any around here, though?
SongstressEnlil (1:16:05 AM): Well, I can't imagine they wouldn't have some sort of representation in Sigil.
OnlineHost (1:16:27 AM): SongstressEnlil rolled 1 20-sided die: 17
CGNakibe (1:16:33 AM): This place seems to have many that would travel here.
SongstressEnlil (1:17:25 AM): I believe they call a place called the Shattered Temple their headquarters, but I have no clue where it is.
SongstressEnlil (1:17:43 AM): I would assume here; most of the Factions seem to be based here.
TheWaiChibiAngel (1:18:04 AM): *Nods*
SongstressEnlil (1:18:24 AM): Perhaps Melissa would know?
CGNakibe (1:18:54 AM): Perhaps.
Idran1701 (1:18:59 AM): And look who pokes her head out of the back! Someone say my name?
CGNakibe (1:19:35 AM): Yes, miss Melissa.
Idran1701 (1:20:48 AM): Got another order?
TheWaiChibiAngel (1:20:57 AM): Any idea if there are any Athar around?
CGNakibe (1:21:05 AM): Not exactly. Err... yes, that's it...
Idran1701 (1:21:30 AM): Athar? Yeah, they're scattered all about, same as the other factions. Don't know any personally, though.
Idran1701 (1:22:11 AM): Why?
TheWaiChibiAngel (1:23:04 AM): Need to speak to some.
Idran1701 (1:23:34 AM): Ah. You'll probably wanna head over to the Shattered Temple, then. Over in the Lower Ward.
TheWaiChibiAngel (1:24:13 AM): *Nods* Thanks.
SongstressEnlil (1:24:36 AM): IM: I thought so.
Idran1701 (1:24:47 AM): *nod* Supposed to be that was the temple of some other god the Lady kicked out a long time back.
SongstressEnlil (1:25:21 AM): Intriguing. No doubt they'll have an interesting story to tell.
Idran1701 (1:25:31 AM): *nod*
CGNakibe (1:25:35 AM): IM: I imagine that WOULD shake your faith in gods entirely...
Idran1701 (1:25:56 AM): Aoskar, think it was.
OnlineHost (1:26:40 AM): SongstressEnlil rolled 1 20-sided die: 2
SongstressEnlil (1:27:16 AM): *Eyes widen for a moment.*
SongstressEnlil (1:29:09 AM): Thank you, Melissa. You've been most helpful.
Idran1701 (1:29:11 AM): (And, any problems with cutting here for the night? Getting kind of late, especially for you all. :O)
CGNakibe (1:30:02 AM): (Problems cutting? Not really here.)
TheWaiChibiAngel (1:30:18 AM): (Sure :O)
SongstressEnlil (1:30:20 AM): (I'm not into cutting. I listen to good music)
CGNakibe (1:30:34 AM): (These are the jokes folks.)
Idran1701 (1:30:47 AM): (Shini [and maybe also Pervy], want to handle the Athar stuff in a side session before next week's? :O)
SongstressEnlil (1:30:56 AM): (Sure.)
SongstressEnlil (1:34:12 AM): (XP?)
Idran1701 (1:34:59 AM): (Not for this session, I'm afraid.)
SongstressEnlil (1:37:44 AM): (Can I have some of Shaun's XP? He won't object)
TheWaiChibiAngel (1:37:45 AM): (Sure!)
TheWaiChibiAngel (1:37:54 AM): (Also, did Idran hear of the Developer's Room?)
Idran1701 (1:38:11 AM): (I did not!)
TheWaiChibiAngel (1:38:18 AM): (:D)
CGNakibe (1:38:21 AM): (Object, Pervy? Oh no.)
CGNakibe (1:38:33 AM): (*throws many many sharp objects at Pervy's person.*)
TheWaiChibiAngel (1:38:37 AM): (Enlil's seeing the concept sketches of the characters from End of the Chaos :D)
TheWaiChibiAngel (1:38:52 AM): (Erin's pose amuses me. "Ah geeze, not this shit again.")
Idran1701 (1:40:14 AM): (Concept sketches?)
SongstressEnlil (1:40:25 AM): ( :D)
TheWaiChibiAngel (1:41:03 AM): (Some unknown artists versions of the party before they hit the new world, and after.)
Idran1701 (1:41:24 AM): (Oh, that ought to be awesome. I hope we all get to see that. :D)
TheWaiChibiAngel (1:41:53 AM): (You should, if you explore Zonii properly.)
Idran1701 (1:42:54 AM): (Nifty. Mind if I pass this along to Bes? He just came back recently. :D)
