(8:00:23 PM) You have just entered room "planescapesq."
(8:00:26 PM) OMG Priam has entered the room.
(8:00:30 PM) TheWaiChibiAngel has entered the room.
OMG Priam (8:00:32 PM): HI ZELO
(8:00:32 PM) Brodzky Zero has entered the room.
Idran1701 (8:00:57 PM): All right. This shouldn't be too long, maybe an hour or two tops.
Idran1701 (8:01:45 PM): First, I'll fill in how you were written out in the last session. The caravan was on the way to Automata, when you all heard a strange humming noise.
Idran1701 (8:01:52 PM): The source was soon found; a group of hovering, geometric-looking crystals zipping from past the horizon towards the group.
Idran1701 (8:02:37 PM): Four in total, that ended up colliding with (in order) the bariaur leader of the caravan, Ken, Lil, and Idolator. Each one that hit one of them ended up vanishing, taking its target with it.
Idran1701 (8:02:48 PM): Though you'd only be aware of the people that were taken before you, of course.
Idran1701 (8:03:50 PM): So, then, everyone ready to start?
OMG Priam (8:04:04 PM): (Set)
TheWaiChibiAngel (8:04:11 PM): (:O)
Brodzky Zero (8:04:21 PM): <Beefo>
Idran1701 (8:04:38 PM): <RP START>
Idran1701 (8:05:37 PM): Each party member has disappeared, attacked by some sort of magic crystal thing. Ken, Lil, and Idolator each have the sensation of a sudden hurtling, before they find themselves standing in what looks to be a cavern.
OMG Priam (8:05:58 PM): *combat stance!*
Idran1701 (8:05:59 PM): Though dim, there is light coming from behind them, but the location is entirely unrecognized.
Idran1701 (8:06:33 PM): And as they materialize, they also hear a voice from behind. ...An interesting assortment.
Brodzky Zero (8:06:36 PM): *Looks around, calm as can be.*
OMG Priam (8:07:15 PM): *still looking forward. The other guys got his six, right? Right?*
Idran1701 (8:08:21 PM): The bariaur wheels around as best he can, as the voice continues. ...I have no idea what you are, for one.
TheWaiChibiAngel (8:09:24 PM): ...
Idran1701 (8:09:49 PM): Those examining the surroundings can just spy what looks to be a tunnel winding off into the distance ahead of them, curving not far ahead.
TheWaiChibiAngel (8:10:09 PM): Don't you know it's impolite to not know who we are when we don't know who you are, first?
Idran1701 (8:11:02 PM): And stepping forward is what looks to be an educated sort, wearing an academic-looking tunic and trouser-type outfit. Oh, my apologies. I would be Daniel Forsythe.
TheWaiChibiAngel (8:11:15 PM): (..Oh shi-)
OMG Priam (8:11:23 PM): (+t)
Idran1701 (8:11:28 PM): (...Did I accidentally copy someone's name? :D)
Brodzky Zero (8:11:43 PM): (Lance Corporal?)
Idran1701 (8:12:30 PM): And the four of you are here to help me with a task. The mercenary I hired is busy with his own task for now, so I decided it would be prudent to summon in some help.
OMG Priam (8:12:46 PM): *pivots on his feet, now in a high back combat stance facing Forsythe*
TheWaiChibiAngel (8:13:12 PM): ...
TheWaiChibiAngel (8:13:17 PM): And what if we don't want to help?
Idran1701 (8:13:19 PM): ...*he looks to Ken* ...Though the things I summon normally aren't quite so aggressive towards me.
TheWaiChibiAngel (8:13:32 PM): You think he's bad?
Brodzky Zero (8:13:33 PM): Mercenary?
Idran1701 (8:14:12 PM): ...Hmph. Don't think we'll have much of a choice, I'm afraid. Pikin' summoning spells.
TheWaiChibiAngel (8:14:44 PM): You get this a lot?
Idran1701 (8:14:49 PM): ...I hope this won't be too much of a bother for you. I...well, honestly, I normally get things that are a bit less...humanoid.
Idran1701 (8:15:08 PM): Me? Hmph. Nah, but I've heard it from others.
Idran1701 (8:15:27 PM): Those crystals are what pops up when a mage out on th' Prime casts a summoning spell.
Idran1701 (8:15:52 PM): ...The Prime?
Brodzky Zero (8:16:06 PM): *Walks over to the nearest wall of the cavern and inspects it.*
OMG Priam (8:16:13 PM): ...
Idran1701 (8:16:54 PM): ...I'm not sure what he's talking about...and you all seem free-willed enough, so I won't push my will on you or anything. I'm not that sort of mage, trust me. But I could use your help, if you're willing.
Idran1701 (8:18:26 PM): I'm trying to capture a young troll, you see. My allies and I, we're in dire need of healing supplies. Trollblood is an excellent base for healing potions, and having a live one...
Brodzky Zero (8:18:27 PM): Help? *Places his hand against the wall*
Idran1701 (8:18:43 PM): *he nods to Idolator* Yes, help.
TheWaiChibiAngel (8:19:04 PM): IM: Who the hell is that, anyway? ..Didn't I see him before?
OMG Priam (8:19:05 PM): *stops bobbing on his feet. Puts the jitte back in its place.*
Brodzky Zero (8:19:35 PM): *Emanates a dull scraping noise from his mouth/throat!*
OMG Priam (8:19:54 PM): Legunda?
OMG Priam (8:20:11 PM): *pronounced with his Ryokkugani accent not suppressed*
Brodzky Zero (8:20:28 PM): *Turns to Mr. Forsythe, and nods with an awkward rhythm.*
Idran1701 (8:20:35 PM): *to Ken* ...What was that?
OMG Priam (8:20:53 PM): *shakes head*
Idran1701 (8:20:55 PM): *he looks a bit surprised at his query*
Idran1701 (8:21:30 PM): This is Legunda, yes. You know of our land?
Brodzky Zero (8:22:30 PM): Mercenary help?
TheWaiChibiAngel (8:22:33 PM): *Quiet, for now!*
Brodzky Zero (8:22:55 PM): *To people who are not Forsythe, this last bit seems to be directed to.*
OMG Priam (8:23:27 PM): *waiting for Cobalt Ocelot*
Idran1701 (8:23:59 PM): *just standing silent, looking a little peeved*
Brodzky Zero (8:25:03 PM): *Looks around at everyone. Is anyone even paying attention to him? :D*
Idran1701 (8:25:22 PM): *Forsythe is a little confused by him, but other than that, seemingly no!*
Idran1701 (8:25:38 PM): ...Be that as it may, will you help us with this?
OMG Priam (8:25:43 PM): *doesn't seem to be paying attention! But then again, this guy almost never speaks anyway*
TheWaiChibiAngel (8:26:21 PM): *Is not paying attention!*
TheWaiChibiAngel (8:26:42 PM): ..Are trolls intelligent?
Idran1701 (8:27:48 PM): ...Intelligent? Well...I'm not sure. They might be. They're nasty brutes, though, killing most anything that isn't their kind for food.
Idran1701 (8:28:37 PM): We managed to chase a young one into these caves while it was weakened, but we were attacked before we could capture it ourselves. My hireling's defending the cave entrance for now.
TheWaiChibiAngel (8:28:59 PM): Young?
Idran1701 (8:29:08 PM): *he nods*
TheWaiChibiAngel (8:29:13 PM): How young?
Brodzky Zero (8:29:19 PM): *Goes back to feeling the walls.*
Idran1701 (8:30:12 PM): Well...I'm not an expert on troll anatomy or the like, but from his size and strength, he's definitely one of their young. Perhaps 10 years of age?
Idran1701 (8:30:30 PM): I'm not sure how long until they grow into adulthood, but if it's anything like humans, that would seem to be about correct.
TheWaiChibiAngel (8:32:19 PM): And you intent to..Cage it, and bleed it.
Idran1701 (8:33:15 PM): ...Well...yes, but it would cause no permanent harm to the beast. Trolls can recover from any injury, save fire or acid. Even a beheading is merely an inconvienance to them.
TheWaiChibiAngel (8:33:59 PM): Parents?
Idran1701 (8:34:01 PM): *and while Lil speaks with Daniel, the bariaur steps over to Ken, lowering his voice* 'Ey, what's Legunda? Never heard of it.
OMG Priam (8:34:25 PM): *waves him off. Is he dismissing him, or telling him that he has bad breath? WHO KNOWS*
Idran1701 (8:35:44 PM): There were none near the creature, but nor were there remains.
OMG Priam (8:35:52 PM): *holds up one finger to Forsythe.*
Idran1701 (8:36:19 PM): ...Yes?
OMG Priam (8:36:29 PM): *walks towards the light!*
Brodzky Zero (8:37:19 PM): *Decides to follow Ken, at a distance of a few paces.*
Idran1701 (8:37:41 PM): *turning to face the group's back, Ken sees its apparant source; a small stone resting on a shallow outcropping in the cave wall behind them, next to a second tunnel, slightly brighter itself*
OMG Priam (8:37:59 PM): im: Hmph. A narrow miss, then...
OMG Priam (8:38:28 PM): *Second tunnel's light...does it look like sunlight?*
Idran1701 (8:38:44 PM): *meanwhile, their "leader" harrumphs and crosses his arms, laying down on the cavern floor as best he can*
Idran1701 (8:39:15 PM): (It seems to, yes. Though some distance off, and the sounds of combat can just be caught from down its length.)
TheWaiChibiAngel (8:39:23 PM): *Thinking*
OMG Priam (8:39:42 PM): *snaps fingers at the other two, and beckons them to follow him. THAT MEANS YOU LILLIUM*
OMG Priam (8:39:49 PM): *then, heads towards the sounds of impending death!*
Brodzky Zero (8:40:04 PM): *Follows!*
Idran1701 (8:40:05 PM): ...I do have to tell you that if the lot of you do refuse, we will just try ourselves after this summoning spell expires.
Idran1701 (8:41:22 PM): *the pair start down the tunnel, though the bariaur sits where he lies; does Lil follow them as well?*
Brodzky Zero (8:41:32 PM): *Possibly even placing his hand on the sash that holds his blades!~*
OMG Priam (8:41:35 PM): im: You'd think none of these Westerners had ever heard of formalized rational discussion...
TheWaiChibiAngel (8:41:55 PM): *Ignores Ken, for the moment*!
TheWaiChibiAngel (8:42:01 PM): I'll help.
Idran1701 (8:42:16 PM): *nods* And your allies...?
TheWaiChibiAngel (8:42:17 PM): On the condition that you don't cage him. And bleed him only after he understands waht you're doing and why.
Idran1701 (8:42:26 PM): ...Agreed.
Idran1701 (8:42:32 PM): *meanwhile!*
Idran1701 (8:43:25 PM): Ken and the Idolator head down the tunnel, soon spying an...impressive sight. At the far end, a single man, wielding a light blade in one hand and with a shield strapped to the other, faces off against a trio of foes.
Idran1701 (8:44:07 PM): They're each looking wounded, though the similarly-garbed body laying near the military-looking trio implies that perhaps he isn't as outmatched as he would appear.
OMG Priam (8:44:23 PM): *paper get!*
Brodzky Zero (8:44:43 PM): *Waits for Mr. Ken to take action!*
OMG Priam (8:45:41 PM): *spins the paper, rips it in half in front of him, and a shimmering field establishes itself before Kenichiro.*
Brodzky Zero (8:46:17 PM): Incense?
OMG Priam (8:46:23 PM): *whence he is done with that, he shall stride forward into the room, two jitte prepared.*
Idran1701 (8:47:33 PM): Weapons drawn, Ken moves ahead towards the ongoing battle.
Idran1701 (8:47:40 PM): (Does Idolator join him?)
Brodzky Zero (8:47:45 PM): *Follows, drawing his own blades; an ornate shamshir and an equally art-ified jambiya.*
Brodzky Zero (8:48:10 PM): (Yes but my niece is like, ramming into my door head first and I am trying to tell her why it is not good to do such things.)
Idran1701 (8:48:27 PM): ...Hmm. It seems that they're wishing to aid my hireling for now. It might be prudent to wait for them to return; it could be risky to face even a young troll alone, miss.
Idran1701 (8:50:33 PM): (Still here, Shini? Wanting to make sure I don't jump into the combat running before you get the chance to respond. :O)
TheWaiChibiAngel (8:51:14 PM): (Yeah. Talking with Sarah, for obvious reasons.)
Idran1701 (8:51:30 PM): (*nod* Right. Any problems with me moving ahead with that, then?)
TheWaiChibiAngel (8:51:37 PM): (Go ahead.)
TheWaiChibiAngel (8:51:48 PM): *Sighs, and sits crosslegged on the ground!*
Idran1701 (8:51:51 PM): (Right. Then Priam and Zero give me a d10. :O)
OnlineHost (8:52:02 PM): Brodzky Zero rolled 1 10-sided die: 6
OnlineHost (8:52:02 PM): OMG Priam rolled 1 10-sided die: 4
Brodzky Zero (8:52:06 PM): (IS 6 GOOD)
Idran1701 (8:52:15 PM): (IT IS NOT HORRIBLE)
Brodzky Zero (8:52:24 PM): ( :unsmith: )
Idran1701 (8:53:57 PM): The foursome all throw glances down the tunnel towards the approaching pair, while one of the military sorts takes the chance to swing his blade towards the lone combatant.
Idran1701 (8:54:00 PM): (Ken!)
OMG Priam (8:54:19 PM): *Two-jitte style go!*
OnlineHost (8:54:27 PM): OMG Priam rolled 2 20-sided dice: 15 4
OMG Priam (8:55:10 PM): (regular first, dark second, because that's how they're listed on my sheet =O )
Idran1701 (8:55:33 PM): (*nod*)
Idran1701 (8:56:27 PM): The first jitte connects, bashing one of the opponents over the skull, though he manages to sidestep the second attack. (2 damage)
Idran1701 (8:57:05 PM): However, as he makes his swing, the foe targetting the lone one also has his blade to connect, adding another scratch to the fellow.
Idran1701 (8:57:08 PM): (Idolator!)
Brodzky Zero (8:57:47 PM): *Emits a warcry that is best described as flint and steel striking together rapidly!*
Brodzky Zero (8:58:23 PM): *Dashes towards the exact same fellow that Ken aimed for; with his long curved blade and also the shorter but still curved dagger!*
OnlineHost (8:58:30 PM): Brodzky Zero rolled 1 20-sided die: 9
OnlineHost (8:58:36 PM): Brodzky Zero rolled 1 20-sided die: 7
Idran1701 (8:59:29 PM): Though forceful, his charge has little effect, although it seems to prove enough of a distraction to cause both of the other two foes to miss their slashes towards the hireling.
Brodzky Zero (9:00:03 PM): *That warcry begins winding down into a continuous low scrape.*
Idran1701 (9:00:26 PM): And the man speaks up as he makes his own strike towards one of the soldiers, getting a good hit. Not sure who you folks are, but thanks for the aid!
Idran1701 (9:01:14 PM): The soldier on the far right collapses from the slash, bleeding profusely over his leathers. (Ken!)
OMG Priam (9:01:36 PM): *spins those things around, and comes in for a second volley!*
OnlineHost (9:01:39 PM): OMG Priam rolled 2 20-sided dice: 5 6
OMG Priam (9:01:48 PM): *Apparently, with too much spin*
Brodzky Zero (9:02:04 PM): (Ken: PROPELLOR MODE ACTIVATE)
Idran1701 (9:03:00 PM): Indeed it is, and nor is it enough to deflect the slash directed towards his own self by the center soldier. (4 damage to Ken)
Idran1701 (9:03:03 PM): (Idol!)
Brodzky Zero (9:03:48 PM): *Continues his assault on the same fellow; shouting in his inhuman way as he strikes!*
OnlineHost (9:03:55 PM): Brodzky Zero rolled 2 20-sided dice: 6 2
OMG Priam (9:03:59 PM): (God damn)
Brodzky Zero (9:04:09 PM): (??)
Idran1701 (9:04:10 PM): (You'd better get on the ball, Priam.)
OMG Priam (9:04:19 PM): (I blame the meeting at work today)
Brodzky Zero (9:04:22 PM): (!?!)
Idran1701 (9:04:59 PM): His inhuman shouts do naught but manage to again throw off their other opponent's swing, causing him to again miss his target.
Idran1701 (9:05:24 PM): Unfortunately, so to does it seem to do such to their current ally in this combat, as his own sword misses its target similarly.
Idran1701 (9:05:28 PM): (Ken!)
OMG Priam (9:05:50 PM): *spinspinspinspinSTOP swing!*
OnlineHost (9:05:53 PM): OMG Priam rolled 2 20-sided dice: 15 5
Idran1701 (9:06:50 PM): He still seems to not be quite accustomed to his second weapon, though his first scores another strike against the soldier; a glancing one, yes, but a strike nonetheless. (1 damage)
Idran1701 (9:07:53 PM): It seems to have angered him, however, as he makes a strong swing towards the hireling, scoring deeply into his side as he winces and gasps.
Idran1701 (9:07:54 PM): (Idol!)
Brodzky Zero (9:08:16 PM): *Third verse, same as the first!*
OnlineHost (9:08:24 PM): Brodzky Zero rolled 2 20-sided dice: 14 8
Idran1701 (9:09:21 PM): This time, the Idolator manages to score a strike against the soldier, bringing him to the ground along with his two fellows! (6 damage)
Idran1701 (9:10:00 PM): One remains, and though his face is contorted with rage and he lets out a scream of anger, he fails to penetrate the mystic field enveloping Ken.
Idran1701 (9:10:29 PM): Their ally looks near-collapse, and his poor swing against the sole remaining enemy shows this blatantly. (Ken!)
OMG Priam (9:11:25 PM): *Mizu-ryu falling mountain breeze combination!*
OnlineHost (9:11:29 PM): OMG Priam rolled 2 20-sided dice: 8 15
Idran1701 (9:12:25 PM): Though his primary jitte just passes over the soldier's head, his gift from the dark god makes glancing contact, restoring some of Kenichiro's life force as it does. (1 damage, Ken heals 1 hp.)
Idran1701 (9:12:35 PM): (Idol!)
Brodzky Zero (9:13:21 PM): *Falls upon the final guy like a shrieking swordsman!*
OnlineHost (9:13:33 PM): Brodzky Zero rolled 2 20-sided dice: 7 13
Idran1701 (9:15:40 PM): The pale bladesman's dagger scores a slash, shocking him enough into dropping his weapon on the ground as he attempted a counter blow. (2 damage from Idol, crit miss for the soldier.)
Idran1701 (9:17:45 PM): The hireling seems to still be recovering from his injury as he nods to Ken to finish things, watching the soldier's blade fall as he kneels and catches his breath.
Idran1701 (9:17:48 PM): (Ken!)
OMG Priam (9:18:11 PM): *hands the dark jitte to the hireling, and points to the guy.*
Idran1701 (9:18:38 PM): ...*nods* Thanks.
OMG Priam (9:19:19 PM): *steps back. Will not kill a man on his knees!*
Idran1701 (9:19:39 PM): (To clarify, ally's on his knees, not the soldier.)
Idran1701 (9:19:59 PM): And standing, he swings it against the side of the man's head as best he can, the man falls into unconsciousness; possibly even a concussion from the sound of that blow.
Idran1701 (9:20:29 PM): Their ally seems a bit restored from the strike, as he hands the weapon back to Ken. Hmph. Useful stick, isn't it?
Brodzky Zero (9:21:05 PM): *Examines the fallen.*
OMG Priam (9:21:13 PM): *takes it back. spins it into proper grip, and puts it back in its place.*
Idran1701 (9:21:33 PM): *he's breathing, but he's got a nasty bump on his head*
Idran1701 (9:21:54 PM): Where'd the two of you come from, anyway? You the folks my boss was summoning up?
Brodzky Zero (9:22:51 PM): *Places two candles from his messenger bag on either side of the fallen guy's body and begins lighting them.*
OMG Priam (9:24:13 PM): .....
OMG Priam (9:24:37 PM): im: Even here, he should understand his failure to recognize my apparel...
Brodzky Zero (9:25:02 PM): *Assuming no trouble lighting them, he will grip his shamshir with both hands and kneel to deliver a final blow.*
Idran1701 (9:25:09 PM): *glances to the two silent ones* ...I'll take that for a yes.
Idran1701 (9:25:18 PM): *sees what he's doing, but doesn't move to stop it*
OMG Priam (9:25:38 PM): *faces the guy, bows a little. Then goes to look at the place where the morelight is coming from. Points. Looks at guy. Question mark?*
Idran1701 (9:25:50 PM): ...That's the outside, yes.
TheWaiChibiAngel (9:26:00 PM): Are they about finished?
Brodzky Zero (9:26:14 PM): *Ker-snikker-snak*
OMG Priam (9:26:19 PM): *gives a look. =/ <--that one*
Idran1701 (9:26:30 PM): ...Right.
Idran1701 (9:26:44 PM): Well, you two do...whatever it is you're going to do. I've got a troll to try to track down.
OMG Priam (9:27:00 PM): *tips his board-hat*
Idran1701 (9:27:19 PM): *inside, the sounds of battle do seem to have calmed, while the hireling heads down the tunnel back to Forsythe*
OMG Priam (9:27:26 PM): *follows!*
Brodzky Zero (9:27:47 PM): *Sheathes his blade and begins a prayer.*
Idran1701 (9:27:49 PM): *he soon makes his appearance to the three waiting there* Hey, thanks for the help, but I thought you were going to...
Idran1701 (9:27:56 PM): ...Mongoose?
OMG Priam (9:28:00 PM): ...........
TheWaiChibiAngel (9:28:17 PM): ...Huh?
TheWaiChibiAngel (9:28:54 PM): *Stands* Do I know you?
TheWaiChibiAngel (9:29:19 PM): ...Whirlwind?
TheWaiChibiAngel (9:29:29 PM): ...Hahah, I knew you'd break down and use a shield!
Idran1701 (9:29:50 PM): ...Well, it wasn't exactly by choice.
Brodzky Zero (9:30:06 PM): *Reverberating scrapy noises~*
Idran1701 (9:30:16 PM): *he rotates his shieldarm, showing a missing hand under the cover of the shield* ...What the hell happened to you, though?
TheWaiChibiAngel (9:31:04 PM): Me? You know, the usual.
TheWaiChibiAngel (9:31:12 PM): Got killed. *Shrug*
Idran1701 (9:31:18 PM): Yeah, that's what I heard.
OMG Priam (9:31:19 PM): *nods, emphasizing the point*
TheWaiChibiAngel (9:31:19 PM): But we all know that was never going to stop me.
Idran1701 (9:31:37 PM): *chuckles* Well, if anyone, it'd be you.
Idran1701 (9:31:44 PM): Where the hell did you come from, though?
TheWaiChibiAngel (9:32:28 PM): Some other..Place.
TheWaiChibiAngel (9:32:32 PM): ...I don't really know myself.
Idran1701 (9:32:36 PM): ...Right.
Idran1701 (9:32:49 PM): ...Wait, Forsythe, you summoned her up?
Brodzky Zero (9:33:02 PM): *Finishes, stands, and approaches the others!*
Idran1701 (9:33:09 PM): That mean this quiet guy with the funny hat's a friend of yours, Mongoose?
TheWaiChibiAngel (9:33:46 PM): Who, Kenichiro?
TheWaiChibiAngel (9:33:53 PM): Yeah, he's actually pretty cool.
TheWaiChibiAngel (9:33:59 PM): He's the only one I don't want to stab at least twice a day.
Idran1701 (9:34:29 PM): Well, he and that other weird guy helped me out just now...there he is. *gestures as Idolator returns*
Brodzky Zero (9:34:49 PM): *Looks at the gesture!*
TheWaiChibiAngel (9:36:02 PM): ..I have no idea who that is.
TheWaiChibiAngel (9:36:13 PM): And I would have helped, had I known. But it looked like you were doing pretty well.
TheWaiChibiAngel (9:36:36 PM): After all, I think I still owe you one.
Idran1701 (9:36:53 PM): Two, isn't it?
Idran1701 (9:38:04 PM): ...All right, yes, well, I'm glad you two are getting to catch up, but I'm not sure how much longer this spell will last, and we still have to find that troll.
TheWaiChibiAngel (9:38:06 PM): Is it? You know how I am about the count.
Idran1701 (9:39:05 PM): ...Yeah, count me out for that. PTC doesn't give out any jink for summoned tasks.
TheWaiChibiAngel (9:39:43 PM): I've already agreed to help, with conditions.
Brodzky Zero (9:39:55 PM): Help. *nods, oddly slow.*
Idran1701 (9:40:45 PM): *looking at the bariaur* ...Picked up some weird allies, Mongoose.
TheWaiChibiAngel (9:41:07 PM): You have no idea.
Idran1701 (9:41:37 PM): The troll should be down this tunnel. Likely resting.
OMG Priam (9:41:59 PM): ...
Idran1701 (9:42:18 PM): We may need to incapacitate it again before we can take it somewhere where we can communicate with it. *to Lil* Will that be a problem with you?
TheWaiChibiAngel (9:42:31 PM): Unconcious.
Idran1701 (9:42:57 PM): ...*nods* That will be...trickier, but agreed.
Idran1701 (9:43:36 PM): *he gestures to the lot of them to follow, and grabbing the glowing magic stone, turns to head deeper down the cave*
OMG Priam (9:43:55 PM): *paper!*
OMG Priam (9:44:01 PM): *and follows.*
Brodzky Zero (9:44:19 PM): *Follows LCpl Forsythe.*
TheWaiChibiAngel (9:44:40 PM): *Follows!*
Idran1701 (9:45:38 PM): Whirlwind follows as well, as the group winds through the tunnel.
Idran1701 (9:46:13 PM): Some 100 feet in, they can spot the end of it as it opens into a wider expanse, where at the far end looks to be a small pile of oddly-distorted, green-tinted humanoid limbs.
Idran1701 (9:46:35 PM): AT first appearing hapazardly scattered, it's soon apparant that it's merely the somewhat-akimbo arms and legs of the small troll, bundled up into an approximation of a fetal position.
Idran1701 (9:47:13 PM): (brb)
TheWaiChibiAngel (9:47:17 PM): *Holds up a hand*
Brodzky Zero (9:47:52 PM): (brb too then)
Idran1701 (9:48:38 PM): (Sorry about that, got called away.)
Brodzky Zero (9:53:06 PM): (BACK)
Idran1701 (9:53:16 PM): *nods in agreement with Lil*
TheWaiChibiAngel (9:53:46 PM): *Looks around in her stuff for some of those rations she only needs out of habit*
Idran1701 (9:54:13 PM): *she finds them easily enough, and they seem to still be in edible condition*
TheWaiChibiAngel (9:55:59 PM): *Pulls off her katars, and makes to hand them to Whirlwind* Careful, there's an ancient, dead god confined to that one. *Indicates, then pulls the rations!*
TheWaiChibiAngel (9:56:19 PM): *She'll slowly walk towards Trolly, showing both hands, and the 'food' she's got*
OMG Priam (9:56:51 PM): *hands on weapons*
Brodzky Zero (9:57:05 PM): *Follows Ken's lead.*
Idran1701 (9:57:09 PM): ...*mutters as he holds the katars* Why do you always get the weird ones, Mongoose?
Idran1701 (9:57:33 PM): *and meanwhile, the troll perks its head up, staring at her with beady, black eyes*
Idran1701 (9:57:53 PM): *sniffing, it looks down at her hands, and makes some sort of gutteral noise*
TheWaiChibiAngel (9:58:09 PM): *Offers the food out, slowly.*
Idran1701 (9:58:52 PM): *after a brief pause, it snatches some of the dried meat from it, ignoring the rest, and throws it into its mouth, not even chewing as it swallows it down*
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:00:05 PM): *Puts the rest away, exchanging it for the reaminder of her dried meat and jerky*
Brodzky Zero (10:00:06 PM): *Watches the troll, occasionally glancing at Kenichiro to see if he's made a move.*
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:00:12 PM): You like it?
Idran1701 (10:00:46 PM): *it makes another growling noise, sounding as if it's saying something, before standing*
Idran1701 (10:01:31 PM): *and if this is a young troll, the adult ones must be huge; it's got a few inches on Lil in terms of height*
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:02:18 PM): *Did it sound like a "YOU ARE TRYING TO COMMUNICATE" or "STFUGTFO"?*
Idran1701 (10:03:19 PM): *hard to tell, but it was quiet enough that it might be the former*
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:03:32 PM): IM: Man..It's tall..
OMG Priam (10:03:45 PM): im: Man, it's tall.
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:04:03 PM): Come with us?
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:04:22 PM): *Takes a few steps back, offering another piece of the meat*
OMG Priam (10:04:48 PM): IM: This is seriously the least violent I have ever seen her. Maybe that trip into Dis wrought more havoc upon her psyche than I had guessed...
Idran1701 (10:04:49 PM): ( http://www.planetadnd.com/interactive_books/troll.gif if you want an image reference for its general look)
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:05:31 PM): (I'm thinking Warcraft Troll, because those are awesome.)
Idran1701 (10:05:41 PM): *it looks a bit suspicious, but it steps forward towards her, snatching the meat with one gangly arm*
Brodzky Zero (10:05:46 PM): (Me too, actually. Zulijin is just a badass ;3)
Idran1701 (10:05:49 PM): (Don't know WoW trolls. Link? :O)
OMG Priam (10:05:51 PM): (I'm thinking AD&D Tower of Doom trolls)
Idran1701 (10:05:56 PM): (Or that one.)
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:07:07 PM): ( http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/races/trolls.html )
Idran1701 (10:07:29 PM): *w* ...I would never have guessed this to work.
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:07:54 PM): *Smiles, nods, and begins walking, seeing if it follows*
Idran1701 (10:08:30 PM): *w* Always been a creative one, Mongoose.
OMG Priam (10:08:32 PM): (I can't find an image of the AD&D one =( )
Idran1701 (10:08:45 PM): *it does, watching the group cautiously*
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:09:21 PM): *Indicates the others* Friends. Help you.
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:09:38 PM): *w* Make with the helping!
OMG Priam (10:09:51 PM): ô_o
Brodzky Zero (10:10:25 PM): Help?
Idran1701 (10:12:26 PM): ...*offers some of his own meat similarly* Here, have some more.
OMG Priam (10:12:44 PM): ....
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:12:48 PM): *Nod*
OMG Priam (10:12:51 PM): IM: I wonder if this thing ever gets a full stomach...
Idran1701 (10:12:52 PM): *w* As long as you're not trying to rip my arms off, have as much as you want.
OMG Priam (10:13:32 PM): *digs about in his pack, using smooth motions, and produces some sort of meal-esque thing. Presents it to the troll, in a similar fashion.*
Idran1701 (10:13:54 PM): (Any meat in it? Can't remember if Ken was a vegetarian, or if I'm thinking of a different character.)
OMG Priam (10:14:34 PM): (It won't be very high in meat, but there will be meat in it)
Idran1701 (10:15:10 PM): *he takes Whirlwind's meat, and picks through Ken's offering for what little there is in his*
Idran1701 (10:15:24 PM): *he seems to be in somewhat higher spirits, watching the group with what seems to be less wariness*
Brodzky Zero (10:16:19 PM): *Does not dig through his own possessions. Instead, watches the troll intently.*
OMG Priam (10:17:01 PM): ....
OMG Priam (10:17:25 PM): *digs in pack one more time, pulls out some meat from the yet-to-be-sorted-into-meal-portions chunk, and gives him a hunk of just-meat*
Idran1701 (10:17:54 PM): *Forsythe offers his own carefully as it takes Ken's second gift* ...I think it's worked.
Brodzky Zero (10:19:26 PM): (AFK for a bit >: Arrrr)
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:20:05 PM): Of course it did.
Brodzky Zero (10:22:08 PM): (Back)
Idran1701 (10:22:30 PM): ...Have to admit, I'm a little surprised myself, Mongoose.
Brodzky Zero (10:23:37 PM): *What is behind the troll?*
Idran1701 (10:24:01 PM): *a fairly empty-looking room, with what looks like a few scattered animal bones; bat, from the looks of them*
Idran1701 (10:24:48 PM): Well, I appreciate your help...Mongoose. We'll bring this creature back with us, and communicate with him as best we can. You have my word.
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:24:59 PM): Oh, I know you will.
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:25:15 PM): Whirlwind'll see to it. And will be adequately compensated, I'm sure.
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:25:33 PM): After all, someone's going to have to keep you safe.
Idran1701 (10:26:16 PM): Oh, yes. I mean, sending me out alone as you did...that's double the normal rate for this mission.
Idran1701 (10:26:32 PM): *things seem to be getting less distinct to the trio*
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:27:29 PM): Oh! Let them know I'm not really dead. ...Or, you know, that it hasn't slowed me down some.
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:27:32 PM): I plan to come back.
Idran1701 (10:28:27 PM): *nods* Right. It'll be a big boost for the others fighting him, to know that someone survived it.
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:29:45 PM): They're sending more?
Brodzky Zero (10:30:45 PM): *Approaches the nearest wall and begins examining it.*
Idran1701 (10:31:55 PM): ...Not exactly. But after you and whoever else it was died against the Kazerian, things started to turn for us. Those men I was fighting out there...
Idran1701 (10:32:25 PM): (Time for one more sentence-reply or action on everyone's part.)
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:33:24 PM): *Nods* Just tell them I'm coming back, and that I'll be expecting my old room vacant!
Brodzky Zero (10:33:39 PM): *Reaches into his messenger bag for something.*
OMG Priam (10:34:16 PM): *does nothing!*
Idran1701 (10:34:28 PM): (I'll let Zero's character finish whatever he's doing. :O)
Idran1701 (10:35:11 PM): *smirking* We'll be sure to clear out the barrels before you get back!
Brodzky Zero (10:35:35 PM): *He pulls out a small tool; like a tiny hand-size mattock.*
Idran1701 (10:36:59 PM): *the tool is removed, as he begins to lose coherence; he'll have to hurry before he's gone*
Brodzky Zero (10:37:27 PM): *Begins chiselling away at the wall!*
Idran1701 (10:37:39 PM): (Taking samples, or just making a hole?)
Brodzky Zero (10:37:52 PM): (Making a marking of some sort.)
Idran1701 (10:38:29 PM): *Idolator makes a small indent into the wall just as the group fades out, and the feeling of hurtling returns, sending them assumedly back where they were*
Idran1701 (10:38:33 PM): </RP>
Brodzky Zero (10:38:48 PM): *ON THE NEXT EPISODE OF SLIDERS...*
Brodzky Zero (10:38:58 PM): *Will Idolator find true love?*
Idran1701 (10:39:10 PM): Who knows! But XP is more important so we'll do that.
Idran1701 (10:39:24 PM): First off, 300 for all: Ken and Idol for combat, Lil for avoiding combat.
Idran1701 (10:39:45 PM): And an extra 50 to Ken for figuring out what happened about 5 minutes in, or at least making a good guess.
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:40:30 PM): *No exp for avoiding combat with a Troll? :(*
Idran1701 (10:40:40 PM): Idran1701 (10:39:24 PM): First off, 300 for all: Ken and Idol for combat, Lil for avoiding combat.
Idran1701 (10:40:58 PM): That is what your 300 is for. :O
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:41:02 PM): *Oh, I thought that was "Avoiding the first combat"*
Idran1701 (10:41:09 PM): Ah. Nope! :D
Brodzky Zero (10:41:30 PM): *Troll Wrangling is a sport in some countries!*
Idran1701 (10:41:59 PM): Also, Zero gets the "Get on with it" award for his wall-chipping.
Brodzky Zero (10:42:13 PM): *What? >:*
OMG Priam (10:42:34 PM): Everyone has a last chance to do something!
OMG Priam (10:42:41 PM): *fishes in his bag*
OMG Priam (10:42:42 PM): .....
OMG Priam (10:42:43 PM): ....
OMG Priam (10:42:44 PM): .....
OMG Priam (10:42:51 PM): *gets out a tiny thing*
Brodzky Zero (10:42:52 PM): *Well yeah, that was his action.*
OMG Priam (10:42:53 PM): ....
OMG Priam (10:42:55 PM): .....
OMG Priam (10:42:57 PM): .....
Brodzky Zero (10:43:17 PM): *I was expecting whatever to happen after I indicated he was fishing through his bag :U*
Idran1701 (10:43:23 PM): Aha. Fair enough!
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:43:29 PM): *Does that mean that Lil could have written her memoirs?*
Idran1701 (10:43:39 PM): Only if you did it with a tiny mattock.
Brodzky Zero (10:43:48 PM): *What do you think Idolator was doing? 9_9*
Idran1701 (10:46:35 PM): Kay, updated your char sheets, for anyone that wants me to send them their current copies.
Brodzky Zero (10:46:43 PM): *Me please :I*
Idran1701 (10:46:57 PM): Also, Shini, looks like Lil's about one XP award away from levelling or so.
OMG Priam (10:47:06 PM): Mine should be current unless htings changed wihle I have been asleep =(
Idran1701 (10:47:33 PM): They went back to sell your third eye to Karth, but that's it.
OMG Priam (10:48:03 PM): Oh man, I was using that =(
Brodzky Zero (10:51:51 PM): *okay college time bye :U*
(10:51:53 PM) Brodzky Zero has left the room.
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:52:24 PM): *Belatedly, oh damn!*
OMG Priam (10:52:43 PM): ELSEWHERE NOW.
(10:52:44 PM) OMG Priam has left the room.
