(7:26:46 PM) You have just entered room "tunnelsandrats."
(7:26:49 PM) Besyanteo has entered the room.
(7:26:51 PM) TheWaiChibiAngel has entered the room.
Idran1701 (7:27:40 PM): Okay, then. Lemme know when you're both ready, and we can start. :O
Besyanteo (7:29:37 PM): Ha ha.
TheWaiChibiAngel (7:29:42 PM): *:O*
Besyanteo (7:29:45 PM): Horrible pun inserted successfully.
Idran1701 (7:30:49 PM): (Then we begin! :O)
Idran1701 (7:30:50 PM): <RP>
Besyanteo (7:31:21 PM): <I don't think you thought you celever plan through...>
Besyanteo (7:31:38 PM): (The typo is actually appropriate.)
Idran1701 (7:32:14 PM): It's some hours after the party's return to Sigil. Klaus has been busy with his own mission, while Lil's
been out on her own, exploring the city.
Idran1701 (7:33:01 PM): Eventually, however, she returns to the inn, with both a note pinned to her door and a priest awaiting
her return.
Besyanteo (7:33:29 PM): *He doesn't look particularly cheery tonight, either*
Besyanteo (7:33:40 PM): *Normally he's all sardonic smiles...*
Besyanteo (7:34:16 PM): *Has he noticed her yet? He may be preoccupied.*
Idran1701 (7:34:46 PM): (That to me or rhetorical?)
Besyanteo (7:34:51 PM): (To you)
Idran1701 (7:36:23 PM): (Since he's fairly distracted, you can go ahead and roll for him noticing her pass on upstairs.
Wis/Intuition.)
OnlineHost (7:36:38 PM): Besyanteo rolled 1 20-sided die: 4
Besyanteo (7:36:50 PM): (As with almost all wis tests, he passes.)
Besyanteo (7:36:57 PM): (But she had the chance!)
Besyanteo (7:37:11 PM): (1 in 10 is still decent~)
Besyanteo (7:37:18 PM): *he looks up* Lilium.
TheWaiChibiAngel (7:38:05 PM): (Sorry. Still kind of distracted)
Besyanteo (7:38:10 PM): (Kay.)
Idran1701 (7:38:13 PM): (*nod* No problem.)
TheWaiChibiAngel (7:38:36 PM): *Sighs* What?
Besyanteo (7:39:03 PM): It's time for you to fulfill your contractual obligations to me.
Besyanteo (7:39:16 PM): *he stands* and we've little time to waste. Come with me.
Besyanteo (7:40:04 PM): (I wait to see if Lil reacts angrily/violently/in some other fun way!)
TheWaiChibiAngel (7:41:14 PM): *Blinks*
TheWaiChibiAngel (7:41:35 PM): *Eyetwitch*
Besyanteo (7:41:35 PM): *he's by the door now, waiting to see what she does*
TheWaiChibiAngel (7:41:37 PM): What...Do you want?
Besyanteo (7:43:05 PM): You are going to be my messenger, to a party I can not communicate with safely. Now come along, if
you enjoy your continued existence.
Besyanteo (7:43:34 PM): *he pulls out an odd hand held device, and depresses something. It makes a clicking noise!*
Besyanteo (7:43:38 PM): (Idran: Ping.)
Besyanteo (7:44:05 PM): (Chris: Lil won't feel anything, so feel free to be "wtf?")
Idran1701 (7:44:20 PM): It triggers, and Klaus can sense the presence of the pebble not far from where it was before, near
that same underground spot.
Besyanteo (7:44:38 PM): ... Good, we still have time.
Besyanteo (7:44:44 PM): Come! *he heads outside*
TheWaiChibiAngel (7:45:12 PM): ...
TheWaiChibiAngel (7:45:27 PM): *Sighs, and follows*
Idran1701 (7:46:25 PM): The two head out, Klaus taking Lilium to the location of the portal given to him previously.
Besyanteo (7:46:33 PM): *Once she's outside, Klaus will lead her down the streets of sigils, heading through the ocasional
alley or side street. He seems on edge, constantly checking over his shoulder*
Idran1701 (7:46:37 PM): (Aha.)
Besyanteo (7:46:40 PM): (Heh, Sorry.)
Idran1701 (7:46:51 PM): (Rewrite if that wasn't the destination. :O)
Besyanteo (7:46:56 PM): (It was)
Besyanteo (7:47:47 PM): (a sec. Looking to see if I have some means of getting this done more efficiently...)
Besyanteo (7:47:59 PM): (If not, well,)
Besyanteo (7:48:06 PM): (Hee. It would be amusing if not.)
TheWaiChibiAngel (7:48:24 PM): ..
Besyanteo (7:48:36 PM): *ALSO*
Besyanteo (7:48:47 PM): *Klaus and Lilium now stand in an alley.. .trashy one, at that*
Besyanteo (7:48:58 PM): *paper blows by. There doesn't look like there's anything special here...*
Besyanteo (7:49:09 PM): ... *he sighs, and shakes out a bit*
Besyanteo (7:49:22 PM): Step foreward... five paces.
TheWaiChibiAngel (7:49:39 PM): ...
TheWaiChibiAngel (7:49:41 PM): *Does*
Besyanteo (7:49:50 PM): (That should put her well in the portal)
Idran1701 (7:50:01 PM): (*nod*)
Besyanteo (7:55:02 PM): (... At remidner from Idran)
Besyanteo (7:55:10 PM): *As Lilium is walking forward...*
Besyanteo (7:55:40 PM): *She hear's a wooshing sound! Lil's heard that sound way too many times. That's a knife flying
through the air at her fucking head!*
TheWaiChibiAngel (7:56:07 PM): *Falls away from it! Or tries.*
Idran1701 (7:56:21 PM): Lil is quick to react, but the air around her seems to be a bit faster, as it crackles with the familiar
sound of an opening portal.
Idran1701 (7:57:06 PM): The knife freezes in midair, as Lil and it travel through...she finds herself in a tunnel that to anyone
else would appear pitch black, the dagger clattering to the ground nearby.
Besyanteo (7:58:35 PM): *for about 5 long seconds, nothing happens.*
Besyanteo (7:58:42 PM): *and then...*
Besyanteo (7:59:09 PM): (Not sure how this would look from her side)
Idran1701 (7:59:57 PM): There's a brief flare of light as Klaus steps through the sparkling sheet of light. It remains open
enough for him to get a general look around the grounds about them before it closes, plunging him into darkness.
Besyanteo (8:00:35 PM): ... Appologies, but I knew you'd never agree to that portal key if I'd warned you.
Besyanteo (8:00:57 PM): Can you see?
Idran1701 (8:02:06 PM): (Just realized stuff might be moving a bit fast for you...Shini, if you'd like, I can try to keep things at a
bit of a slower pace than normal here.)
TheWaiChibiAngel (8:10:29 PM): ...
TheWaiChibiAngel (8:10:36 PM): Yeah.
Besyanteo (8:12:51 PM): *he reaches out with one hand into the darkness* Good. Take my hand, I'm blind in here. Head...
*he pings with his penultimate charge*
Besyanteo (8:15:01 PM): *he gestures* That way. If you see anything strange, tell me. ... Harm nothing.
TheWaiChibiAngel (8:15:13 PM): ...
TheWaiChibiAngel (8:15:16 PM): You want me to hold your hand.
Besyanteo (8:16:06 PM): *his expression is plainly not amused* If you like the negative energies I supply you with, you'll stop
questioning me Lilium.
TheWaiChibiAngel (8:17:23 PM): *Mumbles something! IN GNOMISH.*
TheWaiChibiAngel (8:17:28 PM): *And takes his hand!*
Besyanteo (8:18:08 PM): (Hee. I can't help but imagine Coal hanging out with BW's character now.)
Idran1701 (8:19:25 PM): The two head down the tunnel, Lilium obviously taking the lead in this situation.
Idran1701 (8:20:14 PM): It's a strange looking tunnel, definitely; it appears less an area carved beneath the city, and more a
street, covered over with the construction up top. Old, however; decades, perhaps.
Idran1701 (8:20:46 PM): Stranger still, what buildings may have stood down here appear to have been covered over
themselves, bricked up in places, completely masked with construction in others.
Idran1701 (8:24:55 PM): They continue down the tunnels, more and more deeply, Klaus giving the proper direction when
Lilium stops at the occasional fork in the pathway.
TheWaiChibiAngel (8:25:03 PM): *Waking!*
Idran1701 (8:25:30 PM): They draw closer to the goal, with the scratches of claws on surfaces slightly more apparant, the
scent of vermin growing slightly stronger.
Idran1701 (8:27:23 PM): There seems to be a slight light in this area, coming from ahead...just barely, but enough to allow
Klaus some level of vision.
Besyanteo (8:27:31 PM): *he continues, but slows*
Besyanteo (8:27:46 PM): If for some reason I should begin to wander away without sayying anything to you,
Besyanteo (8:28:02 PM): haul me bodily towards where we entered.
TheWaiChibiAngel (8:29:00 PM): ..Right.
Besyanteo (8:29:34 PM): Remember at all times that you are esentially safe here. Harm nothing.
Besyanteo (8:29:41 PM): *walks with her!*
Idran1701 (8:30:01 PM): As they move along, the light grows...the occasional patch of phosporescent moss along the walls, it
appears. It's slight, giving off a sickly, greenish glow to the environs.
Besyanteo (8:32:07 PM): *looks about, Idran knows what for!*
Idran1701 (8:32:15 PM): There's a skittering sound nearby as they continue...a single rat, walking down the tunnel.
Idran1701 (8:32:41 PM): Strange, though...the top of its skull seems to be missing, as its brain can be seen, pulsing and
twitching, slightly bulging through the opening.
TheWaiChibiAngel (8:32:54 PM): ...
Idran1701 (8:33:33 PM): It stops, turning to stare at the two with blank eyes.
Besyanteo (8:34:23 PM): *He looks back! Is it up to anything?*
Idran1701 (8:34:43 PM): It merely stares for a moment...before dashing off, down the tunnel ahead.
Besyanteo (8:34:56 PM): ... Let us continue. We are expected, now.
Besyanteo (8:35:18 PM): *keeps on down the way!*
TheWaiChibiAngel (8:37:51 PM): ..What..Was that?
Besyanteo (8:38:12 PM): ... One the the party I wish to speak with.
Besyanteo (8:38:55 PM): *doesn't explain further*
Besyanteo (8:39:03 PM): (One of the*)
Idran1701 (8:40:50 PM): Klaus continues on; does Lil follow?
TheWaiChibiAngel (8:42:11 PM): *Does!*
Idran1701 (8:43:14 PM): The pair continue down...the sound of skittering continues, issuing from deeper within.
Idran1701 (8:43:22 PM): The minutes tick by...footprints can be spied from a side tunnel in dust of the years, leading along the
same path they walk now.
Idran1701 (8:43:36 PM): Many of them, though all seemingly from the same person.
Idran1701 (8:44:29 PM): More rats of that odd variety can be seen...two...five...a dozen...each time dashing off down the
tunnel ahead.
Idran1701 (8:45:15 PM): Soon, the pair emerges into a cavern...a town square, it must once have been.
Idran1701 (8:45:33 PM): Suddenly, dozens...no, hundreds of eyes peer out from the darkness around them. Lilium can spot the
rats themselves, standing on various platforms, wreckages. But to Klaus, the light is yet too dim.
Idran1701 (8:45:52 PM): All seem to be staring at the pair.
TheWaiChibiAngel (8:46:22 PM): ...
Besyanteo (8:48:01 PM): *His eyes close breifly, and he looks pained. It is very breif.*
Besyanteo (8:48:15 PM): (Blah. Redundancy, lawl. Moving on, though...)
Idran1701 (8:48:22 PM): They watch, a sense of venom in their eyes as they gaze upon the two.
Besyanteo (8:51:15 PM): I am a messenger. This shell is but a tool that aided in my arriving here. I come with a proposition
from the Great lady Brache, Goddess of suffering, infestation and disease... I come offering a hand in friendship. Will you
(cont)
Besyanteo (8:51:22 PM): hear her offer?
TheWaiChibiAngel (8:51:30 PM): IM: Hm..
Idran1701 (8:52:40 PM): There's some scrabbling from the rats, as they shift, move about almost anxiously.
Besyanteo (8:53:50 PM): *he nods, though Lil would be pressed to figure out why*
Idran1701 (8:54:19 PM): Some draw nearer to the pair, watching inquiringly.
Idran1701 (8:54:51 PM): Not quite near enough to be a threat, but close enough to add a bit to any discomfort they may be
feeling.
TheWaiChibiAngel (8:56:04 PM): IM: Creepy little things.
Besyanteo (8:56:08 PM): She knows of the threat against you. Why you must hide yourselves and scavange for food among
those who would happily crush you under foot. In return for your alleigeance to Lady Brache, you will receive the
protection you (cont)
Besyanteo (8:56:12 PM): require against this.
Besyanteo (8:56:24 PM): (Always a handfull of words.)
Besyanteo (8:57:27 PM): She does.
Besyanteo (8:57:38 PM): *the word She is emphasized*
TheWaiChibiAngel (8:59:57 PM): ...
TheWaiChibiAngel (9:00:01 PM): What the...
Besyanteo (9:00:14 PM): *quietly* Sh.
Besyanteo (9:00:54 PM): ... *he nods*
Besyanteo (9:01:00 PM): Very well.
Idran1701 (9:01:01 PM): *there's the sound of footsteps from a nearby alleyway approaching them*
Besyanteo (9:01:10 PM): *he looks!*
Idran1701 (9:01:17 PM): ("Alleyway", rather.)
Idran1701 (9:01:44 PM): Someone familiar to Klaus, but new to Lilium; a human looking sort, though with a yellowish tint to
his skin.
Idran1701 (9:02:18 PM): Bald but for a series of braided spikes of hair down the center of his skull, and wearing simple
clothing with the lightest of armor. The Us wishes you to follow me.
Besyanteo (9:02:21 PM): (Rat carrier?)
Idran1701 (9:02:25 PM): (Yep.)
TheWaiChibiAngel (9:02:33 PM): IM: ...Wha.
Besyanteo (9:02:35 PM): *he nods* We shall.
Idran1701 (9:03:11 PM): *he looks to Lilium*
TheWaiChibiAngel (9:04:34 PM): ...
Besyanteo (9:04:34 PM): ... *he looks between them*
Besyanteo (9:04:40 PM): Is something amiss?
TheWaiChibiAngel (9:04:43 PM): ..No.
Idran1701 (9:05:08 PM): *nodding, he steps back down the alleyway, not looking back*
Besyanteo (9:05:18 PM): *follows*
TheWaiChibiAngel (9:05:46 PM): *Follows*
Idran1701 (9:06:19 PM): *He leads them to a small enclave, a building uncovered from the construction used to mask its facade*
Idran1701 (9:06:54 PM): *within, he gestures to a small mat on the floor, a number of rats crawling about the shelves that spot the
walls* Please, sit.
Besyanteo (9:07:29 PM): *he sits!*
TheWaiChibiAngel (9:09:11 PM): ..*does*
Idran1701 (9:09:15 PM): They are most intrigued by your offer, Klaus. Those who dwell above would rather slay their kind entirely
than coexist, it often seems.
Besyanteo (9:10:03 PM): Most who dwell above are small minded and ignorant. *Stated matter of factly*
Idran1701 (9:10:30 PM): Indeed. Though they are curious why you are joined by the shell. *he rummages through a small cabinet,
drawing out a loaf of bread*
Idran1701 (9:11:27 PM): *he looks to Lilium* Though you differ greatly from the others, do you not? Not entirely a shell, they can
sense.
Besyanteo (9:13:29 PM): (... Not sure if I should interject here or not.)
TheWaiChibiAngel (9:15:38 PM): Hmph.
Idran1701 (9:16:08 PM): They can almost feel your mind as they can our own.
TheWaiChibiAngel (9:16:43 PM): I..Really have no idea what you're talking about.
Besyanteo (9:17:28 PM): <_< ...
Idran1701 (9:17:30 PM): (Is that honest confusion or hesitancy?)
TheWaiChibiAngel (9:18:00 PM): (Honest confusion)
Idran1701 (9:18:37 PM): Most shells are a blank parchment. For you, the writing is there, but well faded. *he offers a portion of the
loaf to the two of them*
Besyanteo (9:18:49 PM): *he takes some, and eats sparingly*
TheWaiChibiAngel (9:20:32 PM): No, thank you.
Besyanteo (9:20:46 PM): She does not require food as we do.
Idran1701 (9:21:00 PM): *he nods* But I suppose your ally is not the issue here. Your goddess may be powerful as you see her,
Klaus, but they are aware of the strength of the foul god-brain first-hand.
Besyanteo (9:21:32 PM): *he raises a bushy black brow*
Besyanteo (9:22:19 PM): They still live. It's reach can not be too far, it's power too awesome.
Besyanteo (9:23:47 PM): (For reference: )
Besyanteo (9:23:52 PM): (Well, for Chris.)
Besyanteo (9:24:10 PM): (If Klaus survives this mission, I will be amazed. Does Lil run like Coal does? =D)
Idran1701 (9:24:49 PM): True. Though they live by sneaking in the shadows, by hiding from those that would wish them harm.
Through the virtue of those such as my race, that slay her other servants as they make themselves known.
TheWaiChibiAngel (9:25:39 PM): (She might :D)
Besyanteo (9:25:45 PM): (Heheh.)
Idran1701 (9:26:24 PM): But here where they dwell, the reach of all gods is limited.
Besyanteo (9:26:34 PM): ... *his brows furrow*
Besyanteo (9:27:18 PM): How is this possible?
Idran1701 (9:28:38 PM): The bladed mistress that rules this city prevents their entry. For what reason, none can say.
Idran1701 (9:29:15 PM): Another reason why they hide, skulk unwillingly. Should they grow too great in power, they may draw her
ire.
TheWaiChibiAngel (9:30:32 PM): T: Kill them all. No.
Besyanteo (9:30:47 PM): (Ha ha ha.)
Besyanteo (9:30:57 PM): *he simply nods*
Idran1701 (9:32:12 PM): So they ask, how is this protection offered? Will you guard them as I do, bring the singletons that they might
grow in number?
Besyanteo (9:33:54 PM): I was not priveledged with that information. However, typically, Brache's methods are far more
subtle, and far reaching. I do not expect picking off the occasional single foe is her intent.
Idran1701 (9:35:31 PM): ...Ah, you misunderstand. You see, not all of their kind have yet come to know Ilsensine as the Us do.
Many still serve as their eyes, not yet having been brought into their fold.
Idran1701 (9:35:37 PM): *her eyes
Besyanteo (9:39:58 PM): *he blinks*
Besyanteo (9:40:38 PM): I see. ... Of course, that would be certainly be done.
TheWaiChibiAngel (9:40:47 PM): IM: I don't like this.
Idran1701 (9:41:04 PM): *he nods* I believe we can all agree, ending the existence of Ilsensine and her servants, the hated flayers,
would be nothing but a boon for all.
Besyanteo (9:41:44 PM): *he nods*
Idran1701 (9:44:32 PM): And of course, they can see that the protection you have in mind through other means would certainly be of
aide.
Idran1701 (9:45:25 PM): Still, though, they wonder, how can they trust you, if you do not trust them?
Idran1701 (9:45:41 PM): The shell. Bid her depart.
Besyanteo (9:45:51 PM): ... *he nods* Lilium,
Besyanteo (9:45:58 PM): you now how to return to the inn?
Besyanteo (9:46:02 PM): (know*)
TheWaiChibiAngel (9:48:48 PM): Hmph.
TheWaiChibiAngel (9:48:50 PM): Yeah.
TheWaiChibiAngel (9:48:53 PM): *Leaves!*
Besyanteo (9:49:13 PM): (pause for a sec; )
Besyanteo (9:50:00 PM): And Lilium.
TheWaiChibiAngel (9:50:16 PM): Yeah?
Besyanteo (9:51:22 PM): In your room, you will find two beakers. They will sustain you for a further six days. If we do not
meet again by five, I suggest you enlist the aid of another.
TheWaiChibiAngel (9:52:10 PM): ...Right.
Besyanteo (9:53:14 PM): </RP?>
Idran1701 (9:53:43 PM): (Except for a minor detail as to the nature of the note Lil had pinned to her room's door, yes.)
Idran1701 (9:53:50 PM): (But I can IM that to Shini.)
Besyanteo (9:53:54 PM): (Kayo)
Idran1701 (9:53:55 PM): (Now, XP!)
Idran1701 (9:54:04 PM): (I'll say 300 to both.)
Besyanteo (9:54:21 PM): (Good news bad news time! Good news,)
Besyanteo (9:54:39 PM): (I'm free of Klaus! =D ... For some amount of time atleast. Whee. ... Bad news!)
Besyanteo (9:54:47 PM): (Sucks for Arian next time he gets hit by most anything.)
Idran1701 (9:55:15 PM): (Heh.)
Besyanteo (9:57:44 PM): Whee.
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:01:15 PM): *What's going on with Klaus? :(*
Besyanteo (10:01:24 PM): I hate him. :o
Besyanteo (10:01:38 PM): So he's going to spend some time off camera.
Besyanteo (10:01:57 PM): He's not gone per se, we'll see him again.
Besyanteo (10:02:08 PM): But I need a break from lulz evul
Idran1701 (10:03:12 PM): *nod* Thus why Guy came in; giving Bes the chance to play a character he better enjoys playing. Didn't
want to force him to stick with someone he wasn't having fun with.
Besyanteo (10:03:38 PM): He did start out fun. But... eh. I regret making him now.
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:05:02 PM): *Guy?*
Idran1701 (10:05:23 PM): His new character. He was in the session before last, where Lil was exploring the city.
Besyanteo (10:05:23 PM): You where there when he was introed, but Lil wasn't... right there.
Besyanteo (10:05:32 PM): What IDran said.
Idran1701 (10:06:07 PM): A petitioner from the Beastlands (spirit of a guy that died, basically); a mage that happens to be an
intelligent wolf.
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:06:34 PM): *OH, thjat guy.*
Besyanteo (10:06:49 PM): Yeah.
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:06:55 PM): *You know, Lil's actually fairly normal in comparison these days.*
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:06:57 PM): *..Like Coal.*
Besyanteo (10:07:17 PM): Heh. Not true with Coal. James is still normal.
Besyanteo (10:08:14 PM): But eh.
Besyanteo (10:08:20 PM): Arian's still around...
Besyanteo (10:08:23 PM): KArl's returning...
Idran1701 (10:08:39 PM): Ken's technically still here; he'll be offcamera like Klaus.
Besyanteo (10:08:51 PM): He';s not normal, though. Heheh.
Idran1701 (10:08:54 PM): Heh.
Besyanteo (10:08:55 PM): Durn foriegners.
Besyanteo (10:08:56 PM): =D
Besyanteo (10:12:09 PM): Was tempted to make another cleric for a while, and then play them both.
Besyanteo (10:12:44 PM): Klaus would be much less of a jerk if he knew Lil could get her regimen from sonjeone else easily.
Idran1701 (10:13:10 PM): At least, less of a jerk to Lil.
Besyanteo (10:13:16 PM): Hee.
