(10:25:01 PM) You have just entered room "sean30zb."
(10:25:06 PM) Brodzky Zero has entered the room.
Brodzky Zero (10:25:11 PM): *WHY IS IT SEAN 30 BZ*
Idran1701 (10:25:34 PM): Second one of the week.
(10:25:43 PM) SongstressEnlil has entered the room.
Brodzky Zero (10:25:48 PM): *!?*
Idran1701 (10:26:07 PM): You are z, Pervy and Bes's sessions are x.
Brodzky Zero (10:26:19 PM): *Wacky!*
Brodzky Zero (10:26:21 PM): *WHAT IS SEAN*
Idran1701 (10:26:23 PM): And multiple sessions in a week get a letter at the end of the number.
Idran1701 (10:26:28 PM): The name of the campaign.
Brodzky Zero (10:26:32 PM): *O_O*
SongstressEnlil (10:26:36 PM): *Shin-times is y?*
Idran1701 (10:26:47 PM): I don't know what that means Pervy, so yes.
Idran1701 (10:27:26 PM): ANYWAY
Idran1701 (10:27:37 PM): Anything you want to take care of before the session, Zero?
Brodzky Zero (10:28:07 PM): *What would I need to take care of?*
Idran1701 (10:28:18 PM): I don't know. If I did, I'd ask about it specifically. :D
Brodzky Zero (10:28:36 PM): *We already established last night that First can use his Moon Tiara Action once per day, doing damage as a Magic Missile.*
Idran1701 (10:28:55 PM): Only after he transforms.
Brodzky Zero (10:29:03 PM): *Yeah.*
Idran1701 (10:29:42 PM): <THEN WE BEGIN>
Brodzky Zero (10:29:52 PM): <AND THAT MEANS YOU!?
Idran1701 (10:30:06 PM): (no u)
Brodzky Zero (10:30:25 PM): ( Stop that.)
Idran1701 (10:30:31 PM): (:( )
Idran1701 (10:31:26 PM): As we left off last, First was wandering the streets of Sigil, having discovered a horridly ugly building not far ahead.
Brodzky Zero (10:33:59 PM): *Observes it, from a short distance~*
Idran1701 (10:36:50 PM): It looks to be some sort of artistic studio, judging from the variety of performances going on at the moment; musical, theatrical, oratorical, all sorts.
Brodzky Zero (10:39:13 PM): *Approaches the entrance.*
Idran1701 (10:42:25 PM): First heads up, reaching the courtyard gate. Ahead, crowds of observers can be seen milling around black-robed performers playing their songs; all types of styles, filling the air in a melodic mixture of tunes.
Brodzky Zero (10:43:29 PM): *TUrns around, trying to get a view of everything.*
Idran1701 (10:48:03 PM): Out here, things seem much the same as that he's already seen. Inside, though, he can spy through the windows a number of artists - painters, sculpters, carvers, all plying their trade and furthering their knowledge of their crafts.
Brodzky Zero (10:48:21 PM): *Approaches the sculptor window!*
Idran1701 (10:49:41 PM): As First advances, one of the audience members approaches him. Hey, it's you! You're that guy that was working on the statue of Hashkal!
Idran1701 (10:50:03 PM): That was a great piece of performance art, cutter. Shame the Hardheads had to step in.
Brodzky Zero (10:50:09 PM): ???
Idran1701 (10:50:18 PM): That was you, wasn't it?
Brodzky Zero (10:50:47 PM): Yes.
Idran1701 (10:51:31 PM): What're you doing here?
Brodzky Zero (10:51:44 PM): Nothing.
Brodzky Zero (10:51:53 PM): (Guy: *Looks out the window*)
Brodzky Zero (10:52:00 PM): (Building: *DEMOLISHED INTO A GIANT STATUE*)
Idran1701 (10:53:21 PM): *smirks* Nothing, eh?
Brodzky Zero (10:53:58 PM): *Nod.*
Idran1701 (10:54:34 PM): Hmm. That's a shame. Thought you might be looking into taking a class or two here.
Brodzky Zero (10:55:05 PM): A class?
Idran1701 (10:56:06 PM): Yeah. Always something new t' learn, after all, eh?
Brodzky Zero (10:56:22 PM): *Ponders.* Yes.
SongstressEnlil (10:58:47 PM): (First: I could make the money by teaching a course on intermediate Idolatry...)
Idran1701 (10:58:47 PM): How long've you been sculpting, anyway?
Brodzky Zero (10:59:23 PM): My life.
Idran1701 (11:01:27 PM): Wow. *chuckles* That's some devotion there.
Brodzky Zero (11:01:57 PM): It is as my Creator wills.
Idran1701 (11:02:03 PM): Eh?
Brodzky Zero (11:02:26 PM): (Dirty Liberal: GOD IS A LIE!!)
Brodzky Zero (11:02:46 PM): I serve him through my works.
SongstressEnlil (11:02:52 PM): (Admirers: Ew, religious art. *Snubs*)
Brodzky Zero (11:03:29 PM): (First: ;_; C'mon guys gimme a chance I made some pamphlets for you to read.)
Idran1701 (11:03:37 PM): Ah, a religious sort. Your god anyone I'd have heard of?
Brodzky Zero (11:03:47 PM): *Ponders.*
Brodzky Zero (11:03:48 PM): No.
Idran1701 (11:04:18 PM): What sorts of work you do for it?
Brodzky Zero (11:04:46 PM): All I do.
Idran1701 (11:04:58 PM): *smirks* No, I mean what kind of work?
Idran1701 (11:05:32 PM): Just follow a single style, or are you more widespread?
Brodzky Zero (11:05:49 PM): I perform works of many types in his honor.
Idran1701 (11:07:43 PM): *nods* Never been much for the whole "religion" thing, myself. But if that's what you're into, no problems with it.
Brodzky Zero (11:08:55 PM): Tell me about Class.
Idran1701 (11:09:03 PM): Eh?
Brodzky Zero (11:10:17 PM): You mentioned taking a Class.
Idran1701 (11:11:54 PM): Yeah. They're all right here, I've taken a few. Some of the teachers are a little dark, but eh.
Idran1701 (11:12:12 PM): The place attracts Bleakers for some reason.
Brodzky Zero (11:12:26 PM): Bleakers?
Idran1701 (11:13:07 PM): ...The Bleak Cabal?
Brodzky Zero (11:13:28 PM): The Bleak Cabal?
Idran1701 (11:14:23 PM): ...The faction.
Brodzky Zero (11:15:17 PM): What is it?
Idran1701 (11:17:39 PM): ...You new to Sigil, cutter?
Brodzky Zero (11:17:44 PM): Yes.
Idran1701 (11:18:00 PM): ...*sighs* Right.
Idran1701 (11:19:50 PM): They're all about the...the meaninglessness of life.
Idran1701 (11:21:49 PM): There's about...oh, a dozen factions here. They run things here in the Cage.
Brodzky Zero (11:22:05 PM): *Nod*
Idran1701 (11:22:31 PM): Each of 'em's got a different philosophy about things.
Brodzky Zero (11:24:37 PM): *Nod*
Idran1701 (11:26:19 PM): Not a member, myself, just an Indep.
SongstressEnlil (11:27:07 PM): (He's a Chameleon e_e)
Brodzky Zero (11:27:57 PM): Indep?
Idran1701 (11:30:14 PM): ...Not really up for explaining all the ins and outs of Sigil, cutter. Sure there's someone around willing to give you the chant if you're that curious.
Brodzky Zero (11:30:33 PM): *Nod.*
Brodzky Zero (11:30:40 PM): *Walks off to go find that someone.*
SongstressEnlil (11:30:47 PM): (Fucking Chameleons)
Brodzky Zero (11:33:06 PM): *Walk walk. Probably leaves the art-place.*
Idran1701 (11:33:54 PM): First heads out, exploring the city further.
Idran1701 (11:36:06 PM): (What sorts of things is he keeping an eye out for?)
Brodzky Zero (11:36:20 PM): (That's the tricky part!)
Idran1701 (11:36:25 PM): (>:)
Brodzky Zero (11:37:30 PM): (Basically nothing and also everything.)
SongstressEnlil (11:39:23 PM): (He's going to run into Ravel Puzzlewell at this rate. And then it'll all go to hell)
Idran1701 (11:39:26 PM): (Timeskip past it, then?)
Brodzky Zero (11:39:59 PM): (!?!(
Idran1701 (11:40:59 PM): (That a yes or a no? :O)
Brodzky Zero (11:41:06 PM): (Sure)
Idran1701 (11:41:41 PM): First's explorations continue, but don't come to much fruition; there's a lot in this city, but nothing that seems to be peaking his interest.
Idran1701 (11:42:43 PM): His appointment comes around eventually, but the clerk he speaks with informs him it has been made with the wrong department.
Idran1701 (11:42:48 PM): Luckily, this man's a bit more helpful than the stewards, and lets him know of the correct department to speak with.
Brodzky Zero (11:43:06 PM): (What appointment?)
Idran1701 (11:43:20 PM): (To find a job?)
Brodzky Zero (11:43:23 PM): (Oh right.)
SongstressEnlil (11:43:25 PM): (He made on at the Hall of Information previously)
Brodzky Zero (11:43:27 PM): (CONTINUE)
SongstressEnlil (11:43:38 PM): (Department of...Magic, wasn't it?)
Brodzky Zero (11:43:41 PM): (Yeah but timeskip in my head doesn't count as 'timeskip to next day')
Idran1701 (11:43:45 PM): (Wizard's Department.)
Brodzky Zero (11:43:49 PM): (I don't remember. I didn't even read the list.)
Idran1701 (11:43:59 PM): (Did I skip over something you wanted to do?)
Brodzky Zero (11:44:03 PM): (No.)
Idran1701 (11:44:03 PM): (I can step back if you want.)
Brodzky Zero (11:44:09 PM): (Just confused me for a second.)
Idran1701 (11:44:15 PM): (Ah. Okay.)
Idran1701 (11:44:19 PM): (Anyway!)
Brodzky Zero (11:44:21 PM): (YOU GOTTA SAY "THE NEXT DAY" or else I get loopy.)
Brodzky Zero (11:46:24 PM): (CONTINUE Bloop)
Idran1701 (11:46:30 PM): The re-appointment is scheduled for the following day, for merely another one silver processing fee.
Brodzky Zero (11:46:51 PM): *Deposits the coin on the table.*
Idran1701 (11:46:57 PM): (Anything he'd be doing besides further exploring before that one?)
Brodzky Zero (11:47:17 PM): (Nope.)
SongstressEnlil (11:48:21 PM): (Guy: You can leave my office now. First: ...)
Idran1701 (11:48:36 PM): The next day, he comes in, for the actually-useful meeting.
Idran1701 (11:49:20 PM): The clerk looks up as he enters, gesturing to a chair. Go ahead and take a seat. You're First, yes?
Brodzky Zero (11:49:27 PM): Yes.
Idran1701 (11:50:08 PM): *nods*
Idran1701 (11:50:39 PM): So, what sort of job are you looking for?
Brodzky Zero (11:51:35 PM): I require a job to attain a sum of twelve-thousand gold.
SongstressEnlil (11:52:29 PM): (Jobman: Blood War.)
Idran1701 (11:52:29 PM): ...All right, there's your salary concerns.
Idran1701 (11:52:35 PM): But what sort of job are you looking for?
Brodzky Zero (11:54:11 PM): *Nothing!*
Idran1701 (11:54:21 PM): ...Hello?
Brodzky Zero (11:54:23 PM): I am unsure.
Idran1701 (11:54:56 PM): All right. Let's start from the top, then.
Idran1701 (11:54:59 PM): What skills do you have?
Brodzky Zero (11:55:25 PM): I can work with stone.
Brodzky Zero (11:55:39 PM): I can work with swords.
Idran1701 (11:55:48 PM): *nods* All right, those are some good starts.
Idran1701 (11:56:07 PM): Are you looking for a permanent position, or temporary?
Brodzky Zero (11:56:08 PM): (Jobman: Your job is to hit rocks with swords.)
Brodzky Zero (11:57:45 PM): Temporary.
Idran1701 (11:58:58 PM): *nods* Usually more merc jobs for that anyway.
Idran1701 (11:59:15 PM): What sort of time investment are you willing to put in per job? A day, a week, a month, what's your limit?
Brodzky Zero (11:59:27 PM): Less than three months.
Idran1701 (12:00:39 AM): All right. Any objections about travel to any specific plane?
Brodzky Zero (12:01:19 AM): No.
Idran1701 (12:02:11 AM): Any racial or factional objections for your choice of employer?
Brodzky Zero (12:02:36 AM): No.
Idran1701 (12:02:51 AM): Do you have any faction allegiances yourself?
Brodzky Zero (12:03:13 AM): I give allegiance only to my Creator.
Idran1701 (12:03:55 AM): Religious allegiances, then? Name of your power?
Brodzky Zero (12:04:35 AM): It is not known.
Idran1701 (12:05:08 AM): Well, anything that would pose a potential problem for your employer? Any major inter-deific or racial feuds?
Brodzky Zero (12:06:30 AM): Not at this time.
Idran1701 (12:06:58 AM): Any potential moral issues?
Brodzky Zero (12:07:05 AM): No.
Idran1701 (12:07:40 AM): (Jobman: Okay, here's one from a slaad, paying 1,000 per baby eaten.)
SongstressEnlil (12:08:03 AM): (Extra ten percent for twins)
SongstressEnlil (12:08:21 AM): (Fensir: Oh shit.)
Idran1701 (12:10:44 AM): I believe that's all the pertinant questions. I'll fill out a list that matches your qualifications, and send it out to you at the next opportunity. You should recieve it within the next...oh, 3 hours or so.
Brodzky Zero (12:11:08 AM): *Nod.*
Idran1701 (12:11:10 AM): You can wait here, but it could be a while, so if you'd rather you can just leave your address and I'll have a mephit sent out for you.
Brodzky Zero (12:11:17 AM): *Nod.*
Idran1701 (12:13:13 AM): If you wish to wait, then you can take a seat out in the foyer.
Brodzky Zero (12:13:26 AM): *Stands.* Where is that?
Idran1701 (12:15:47 AM): The front room just before the desks, you'd have passed through it when you made the appointment
Idran1701 (12:15:48 AM): *.
Brodzky Zero (12:15:55 AM): *Nods, and makes his way for it.*
Idran1701 (12:16:23 AM): *he heads out; there are chairs!*
Idran1701 (12:16:31 AM): *Some are empty, but some have people.*
Idran1701 (12:16:37 AM): *It is his choice which to use.*
Brodzky Zero (12:16:59 AM): *Sits.*
Idran1701 (12:17:14 AM): (IN WHICH TYPE OF CHAIR? >:)
Brodzky Zero (12:17:46 AM): (EMPYY)
Idran1701 (12:17:52 AM): (WIMP)
Idran1701 (12:18:50 AM): *Outside, he can see the very start of a rainstorm; a greasy, grey rain, that seems to be leaving a film over every surface as it falls*
Idran1701 (12:21:07 AM): (And another timeskip? :O)
Brodzky Zero (12:21:33 AM): *He would chant quietly!*
Brodzky Zero (12:21:34 AM): (YES)
Idran1701 (12:22:16 AM): (*nod*)
Idran1701 (12:22:27 AM): (Actually, a brief pause while I assemble the list myself.)
Brodzky Zero (12:29:56 AM): (BRIEF EH?!)
Idran1701 (12:30:04 AM): (Yes.)
Idran1701 (12:32:42 AM): (Actually, I'll specify. Break for another 45 minutes, and we'll pick things back up then.)
Brodzky Zero (12:33:01 AM): (45 minutes? ;_; )
Idran1701 (12:33:12 AM): (LIKE MATH)
Brodzky Zero (12:33:12 AM): (That's 3 15s!)
Brodzky Zero (12:33:28 AM): (Or 3*3*sqrt25! ._. )
SongstressEnlil (12:33:46 AM): (That list better have Xanxost giving a job offering)
Brodzky Zero (1:01:30 AM): (WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO FOR 15 MINUTES)
Idran1701 (1:02:00 AM): (PLAY TENNIS)
Brodzky Zero (1:02:07 AM): (I don't have a Wii)
Idran1701 (1:02:14 AM): (I mean real tennis.)
SongstressEnlil (1:02:18 AM): (EXPERIMENT WITH THAT MAPPING PROCEDURE YOU EXPLAINED YESTERDAY)
Brodzky Zero (1:02:36 AM): (Pervy: It would take me hours to do it :( )
SongstressEnlil (1:03:48 AM): (*Thumbs up*)
SongstressEnlil (1:04:04 AM): (DO MAP)
Brodzky Zero (1:04:06 AM): (No.)
SongstressEnlil (1:04:16 AM): (MATH, I MEAN)
Brodzky Zero (1:04:21 AM): (NO)
SongstressEnlil (1:05:55 AM): (WHY YOU MAKE ME GOTTA HURT YOU, ZERO?)
Brodzky Zero (1:06:07 AM): (>: )
Idran1701 (1:08:28 AM): (SHOW HIM WHATFOR PERVY)
SongstressEnlil (1:08:57 AM): (*Tosses Zero down a well*)
Brodzky Zero (1:09:21 AM): (*Cries*)
Idran1701 (1:14:20 AM): (OKAY)
Brodzky Zero (1:14:30 AM): (I saved Frodo!)
Idran1701 (1:14:31 AM): (Also we'll assume he found someone to read it to him just for ease of progress.)
Brodzky Zero (1:14:42 AM): (OTAY)
Idran1701 (1:16:30 AM): First waits out the completion of the list, and a mere 2 and a half hours later, he recieves his list of potential opportunities for funding.
Idran1701 (1:16:42 AM): (HERE IS HOW IT WILL WORK)
Idran1701 (1:16:54 AM): (All will have at least one RPed scenes.)
Idran1701 (1:17:03 AM): (Some will just have a roll beyond that, others will be fully RPed.)
Idran1701 (1:17:17 AM): (As time passes, jobs he doesn't take will have a chance to be filled by someone else before he can get to them.)
Brodzky Zero (1:17:53 AM): (Can he track down and slay these interlopers?! >: )
Idran1701 (1:18:04 AM): (Yes! But he might get arrested again.)
Brodzky Zero (1:19:13 AM): (Does the list get new stuff?)
Idran1701 (1:19:19 AM): (It will, yeah.)
Brodzky Zero (1:19:26 AM): (I hate mission based stuff ._. )
SongstressEnlil (1:19:38 AM): (Lunia job!)
Idran1701 (1:22:04 AM): First has made his first selection!
Idran1701 (1:25:05 AM): Portals to Automata are fairly easy to come by, lucky for him. After a brief inquisition of a local tout, he finds one only 45 minutes' walk from the Hall of Information, leading right off the gate-town's marketplace.
Brodzky Zero (1:25:31 AM): *Runs there.*
SongstressEnlil (1:25:53 AM): (Brief inquisition amuses me. Because I am thinking it is Spanish style)
Idran1701 (1:26:01 AM): (It _is_ First. :D)
Brodzky Zero (1:26:20 AM): (Woop woop)
Idran1701 (1:26:25 AM): Passing through, he begins tracking down the address for Crenson. It's a few blocks away, but the regular layout for Automata makes finding any address an absolute breeze!
Idran1701 (1:28:12 AM): Soon enough, he arrives at what seems to be a store of some type. It's the correct address, though; the numbers are the same symbols!
Brodzky Zero (1:28:33 AM): *Enters!*
Idran1701 (1:28:47 AM): The door, it is locked!
Idran1701 (1:28:50 AM): Lights are on inside, though.
Brodzky Zero (1:28:57 AM): *Tries to enter, again.*
Idran1701 (1:29:21 AM): It is still locked.
Brodzky Zero (1:29:28 AM): *Waits outside.*
Idran1701 (1:31:31 AM): He stands outside and waits. Time passes, and some minutes later, he can see someone inside spot him and start for the door.
Idran1701 (1:34:23 AM): The door opens! I'm sorry, but we're...we're closed for the near future.
Brodzky Zero (1:34:24 AM): *Waits!*
Brodzky Zero (1:34:26 AM): (UNDO)
Brodzky Zero (1:34:31 AM): I am here for the job.
Idran1701 (1:34:54 AM): ...Oh! Oh, thank Deneir, you're here.
Idran1701 (1:34:59 AM): Please, come inside.
Brodzky Zero (1:35:05 AM): *Enters, as asked.*
Brodzky Zero (1:35:14 AM): (Haha you stupid NPC First is a vampire now you're fucked)
SongstressEnlil (1:35:16 AM): (Ew Faerunian :( )
Idran1701 (1:36:30 AM): *inside, it looks to be...a bookstore!* I don't know how they got here...I think my last shipment had one in it, and it reproduced. There's at least 2 in the storeroom in back.
Idran1701 (1:36:56 AM): One of them almost absorbed my assistant. He got away all right, I sent him home for now.
Brodzky Zero (1:37:08 AM): (First: *Leans in* I am here to... clean.)
Idran1701 (1:37:18 AM): Right now, I'm just getting what supplies I can away from the door, making sure they don't escape, that...that sort of thing.
Brodzky Zero (1:38:01 AM): I will eliminate them.
Idran1701 (1:38:28 AM): *nods* I'll show you to the storeroom.
Idran1701 (1:38:41 AM): I'll be...I'll be locking the door behind you. Knock when you're through and I'll let you out.
Idran1701 (1:38:48 AM): Don't want one slipping through the cracks.
Brodzky Zero (1:38:54 AM): *Nod, follow*
Idran1701 (1:39:56 AM): *Berne leads First through the stacks to a back room, and takes a key out. Unlocking the door, he stands aside, ready to open it and let First in*
Brodzky Zero (1:40:23 AM): (First: There's nothing but dead bees in here!)
Brodzky Zero (1:40:36 AM): *Enters.*
Idran1701 (1:40:38 AM): (Berne: No, those are zombie bees.)
Idran1701 (1:40:51 AM): (Berne: With regenerating stingers.)
SongstressEnlil (1:40:55 AM): (Berne: I like my bees)
Idran1701 (1:41:23 AM): *First steps in, and the door is slammed behind him. The lighting's a bit dim, but that's no trouble for him.*
Brodzky Zero (1:41:31 AM): (Berne: Now that you're locked in. Now, here's the clever part! To unlock it I just use the keypad.)
Idran1701 (1:41:44 AM): (:D)
SongstressEnlil (1:41:50 AM): (Hahahaha :D)
Idran1701 (1:42:07 AM): *There's many crates of book-binding and book-repair materials here.*
Brodzky Zero (1:42:33 AM): *Cares not. Begins looking for anything that moves.*
Idran1701 (1:42:46 AM): *Glancing around, he keeps an eye out...*
Idran1701 (1:42:57 AM): (Wis/Intuition check!)
Brodzky Zero (1:43:19 AM): (Oh god oh god what do I do?)
Idran1701 (1:43:26 AM): (d20!)
Idran1701 (1:43:34 AM): (NOT A D2)
Idran1701 (1:43:39 AM): (YOU HAD BETTER NOT ROLL A D2 >:)
OnlineHost (1:43:45 AM): Brodzky Zero rolled 1 20-sided die: 13
Idran1701 (1:44:16 AM): *...Out the corner of his eye, he spies movement on top of that box!*
Idran1701 (1:44:19 AM): *...Wait, no.*
Idran1701 (1:44:24 AM): *It's just some paper fluttering.*
Brodzky Zero (1:44:31 AM): *Approaches the box.*
Idran1701 (1:45:06 AM): *The parchment rests on top of it, flipping up and down a bit as it sometimes does.*
Brodzky Zero (1:45:21 AM): *Continues shambling about the store-room.*
Idran1701 (1:45:42 AM): *He continues his search...*
Idran1701 (1:45:45 AM): (Another d20 :D)
OnlineHost (1:45:56 AM): Brodzky Zero rolled 1 20-sided die: 15
Idran1701 (1:47:06 AM): *There doesn't seem to be anything...*
Idran1701 (1:47:33 AM): *...he brings his hand up, to slide a box out of the way, when he notices a shallow cut on the back of his hand, just slightly bleeding*
Brodzky Zero (1:47:46 AM): <_< >_>
Brodzky Zero (1:48:19 AM): *Looks around for what may have caused this.*
Idran1701 (1:48:29 AM): *...Still nothing but a couple of sheets of parchment fluttering in the breeze as they lay on their boxes.*
Brodzky Zero (1:49:07 AM): *Begins searching through boxes.*
Idran1701 (1:49:24 AM): (Another d20!)
OnlineHost (1:50:00 AM): Brodzky Zero rolled 1 20-sided die: 18
Idran1701 (1:51:20 AM): *Nothing but paper, ink, quills, string, glue, the sorts of stuff you'd expect to find in a bookstore storeroom.*
Idran1701 (1:52:04 AM): *...He feels a rush of air on the back of his neck.*
Brodzky Zero (1:52:14 AM): *Spins, drawing his swords!*
Idran1701 (1:52:54 AM): *...Nothing's there.*
Brodzky Zero (1:54:10 AM): *Begins slowly pivoting.*
Idran1701 (1:54:16 AM): (d20!)
OnlineHost (1:54:34 AM): Brodzky Zero rolled 1 20-sided die: 1
Idran1701 (1:54:39 AM): *...Wait, what breeze?*
Idran1701 (1:54:46 AM): *He's in a closed room.*
Brodzky Zero (1:57:14 AM): *Walks to an end of the room and places his back against the wall; and begins observing again~*
Idran1701 (1:57:38 AM): *He can still see the fluttering parchment. It looks like...three sheets.*
Idran1701 (1:57:54 AM): *Laying on various boxes scattered across the room.*
Brodzky Zero (1:58:14 AM): *Approaches one, to pick it up.*
Idran1701 (1:59:59 AM): *First heads forward, reaching out...and it floats away, as if blown by an errant gust of wind, landing on a box further away*
Brodzky Zero (2:00:15 AM): *Lunges for it.*
Idran1701 (2:01:13 AM): *He lunges for the paper...and all three of them lift up, zooming for First!*
Idran1701 (2:01:17 AM): (Initiative. :D)
Idran1701 (2:01:18 AM): (d10)
OnlineHost (2:01:23 AM): Brodzky Zero rolled 1 10-sided die: 1
Brodzky Zero (2:01:28 AM): (IS THAT GOOD OR BEST?)
Idran1701 (2:01:47 AM): (NEITHER; 0 (10) IS BEST)
Brodzky Zero (2:01:51 AM): (LAME)
Idran1701 (2:01:54 AM): (WAIT THAT ISN'T NEITHER)
Idran1701 (2:01:58 AM): (THOUGHT YOU SAID WORST OR BEST)
Idran1701 (2:02:03 AM): (IT IS PRETTY GOOD)
Idran1701 (2:02:49 AM): (First is first to begin his move, though it may finish after them. :O)
Brodzky Zero (2:03:15 AM): (WHAT)
Brodzky Zero (2:03:45 AM): (Burly Heart begins to play.)
Idran1701 (2:03:55 AM): (He starts now, and finishes later in the round. Every kind of move has something you add to initiative for how long it takes to finish.)
Brodzky Zero (2:04:05 AM): (Oh.)
Idran1701 (2:04:09 AM): (For your weapons it is 3 for jambiya and 5 for shamshir.)
Brodzky Zero (2:04:18 AM): (Aha. And he can use all three?)
Idran1701 (2:04:27 AM): (Yep! Only 2 next round, though.)
Brodzky Zero (2:04:34 AM): (Er, can he target all three with his attacks?)
Idran1701 (2:04:39 AM): (He can!)
Brodzky Zero (2:04:47 AM): (He will try to do that. Sissy pieces of paper.)
Idran1701 (2:05:07 AM): (QUICK QUESTION: How's he using the jambiya? :O)
Brodzky Zero (2:05:37 AM): (It changes. Currently, underhanded.)
Idran1701 (2:05:53 AM): (I mean stabbing or slashing?)
Brodzky Zero (2:05:59 AM): (Slashing.)
Idran1701 (2:06:07 AM): (*nod* Roll!)
Brodzky Zero (2:06:11 AM): (It's a very curved dagger.)
Brodzky Zero (2:06:15 AM): (3d20?)
Idran1701 (2:06:24 AM): (Yep!)
Idran1701 (2:06:30 AM): (And yeah, but you can use it for either still.)
Brodzky Zero (2:06:38 AM): (First two are Shamshir, third is jambiya)
Brodzky Zero (2:06:48 AM): (IT SHALL always be.)
Idran1701 (2:06:51 AM): (KAY)
OnlineHost (2:06:54 AM): Brodzky Zero rolled 3 20-sided dice: 14 12 11
Brodzky Zero (2:06:55 AM): (AWESOME)
Brodzky Zero (2:07:15 AM): (I love how numbers that aren't 1 or 20 mean nothing to me so I can always be happy :) )
Idran1701 (2:07:20 AM): (:D)
Brodzky Zero (2:07:27 AM): (Especially because I can never tell if 1 or 20 is good in a situation.)
Idran1701 (2:07:42 AM): (SECOND EDITION IS A BUNDLE OF SURPRISES :D)
Idran1701 (2:08:08 AM): *First swings his blades quickly, in a deft show of skill! One of the sheets of paper moves in for a quick slice against his exposed flesh, but he pulls his arm back just in time.*
SongstressEnlil (2:08:16 AM): (IT MAKES PERFECT SENSE)
Idran1701 (2:08:33 AM): *All three blade swings strike their targets...but to no apparant avail, as his slices seem to leave naught a mark on their surfaces!*
Idran1701 (2:08:55 AM): (They all hit, but for no apparant damage.)
Idran1701 (2:09:31 AM): *The two other sheets move in to try their own slices against First's skin, but he similarly evades their attempts agily*
Idran1701 (2:09:55 AM): (First is up again!)
Brodzky Zero (2:10:13 AM): *Hops back to get better footing!*
Brodzky Zero (2:10:23 AM): (Sword and shamshir directed at a slice.)
Brodzky Zero (2:10:29 AM): (Single slice.)
Brodzky Zero (2:10:32 AM): (One.)
Idran1701 (2:10:35 AM): (*nod*)
Brodzky Zero (2:10:36 AM): (OKAY ROLLING NOW)
OnlineHost (2:10:43 AM): Brodzky Zero rolled 2 20-sided dice: 19 17
Idran1701 (2:10:54 AM): (YOU SAID ONE >:)
Brodzky Zero (2:11:21 AM): (No, shamshir and jambiya directed at one slice.)
Idran1701 (2:11:36 AM): (Oh, a slice of paper.)
Idran1701 (2:11:42 AM): (Who says "slice of paper"? >:)
Brodzky Zero (2:11:48 AM): (Me.)
Idran1701 (2:11:52 AM): (YOU CRAZY)
Brodzky Zero (2:11:57 AM): (I get that a lot.)
Idran1701 (2:12:57 AM): *First hops back, though it's not quite fast enough to keep that speedy sheet from drawing some more blood across his arm, the splatters seeming to be absorbed into the sheet's surface as they hit it*
Idran1701 (2:13:33 AM): *His weapons both strike against the sheet easily, but again leave no mark upon the paper's surface.*
Idran1701 (2:13:54 AM): *The other two try their own strikes, to no avail.*
Idran1701 (2:14:42 AM): (The edges of his blades seem to simply slide off the paper, without even denting it.)
Idran1701 (2:15:12 AM): (And he is up again!)
Brodzky Zero (2:15:41 AM): (Repeat of last turn; two attacks directed at one paper)
OnlineHost (2:15:49 AM): Brodzky Zero rolled 2 20-sided dice: 17 10
Idran1701 (2:16:28 AM): (Still chopping with both?)
Brodzky Zero (2:16:52 AM): (Yes.)
SongstressEnlil (2:17:38 AM): (Silly Zero. The only way to defeat them is to nail them onto a church door with an implicit challenge for debate written on them)
Brodzky Zero (2:17:55 AM): (Duh. But First does not know this.)
Idran1701 (2:18:07 AM): *As the paper gives him another fine slice, drawing a bit more blood, he strikes out at it again. He has no problem hitting the paper, it appears, but actually hurting it is still another story entirely.*
Idran1701 (2:18:14 AM): (Man, First is lucky he doesn't feel pain. :D)
Brodzky Zero (2:18:18 AM): (He is.)
Idran1701 (2:18:35 AM): *This last cut seems to have further effect, though...as the paper seems to be stuck to his arm.*
Brodzky Zero (2:18:48 AM): *Sheathes his shamshir and tries to grab it.*
Idran1701 (2:19:29 AM): *As First moves to grab it, he avoids a second cut...but the third sheet of paper is successful as well, also adhering itself to him. His other arm, in this case.*
Idran1701 (2:19:41 AM): (Gimme a d20 to pull the first one free. LOW IS GOOD HERE)
OnlineHost (2:19:47 AM): Brodzky Zero rolled 1 20-sided die: 13
Brodzky Zero (2:19:52 AM): (Telling me jinxed it you know.)
Brodzky Zero (2:20:17 AM): (Theoretically, by causing me to delay those few milliseconds, the RNG had a different seed value >: )
Idran1701 (2:21:31 AM): *He tugs at it, but he can't seem to get it loose...even worse, he starts to feel some sort of suction from the paper, some force pulling him towards...well, both of them, actually.*
Brodzky Zero (2:22:07 AM): *Tries stabbing at it with his jambiya.*
Idran1701 (2:22:35 AM): (No roll, since it's stuck to your arm. No real chance of missing. :D)
Brodzky Zero (2:22:45 AM): (ROLLO)
Idran1701 (2:23:01 AM): (You want to roll damage, or should I? Your choice!)
Idran1701 (2:23:09 AM): (Relaized I never asked you since you were newer to the campaign.)
Brodzky Zero (2:23:19 AM): (You can.)
Idran1701 (2:24:34 AM): *He stabs down at it...he can feel the blade push a good deal into his own arm, but the paper seems to shrivel up as the weapon sticks through it, crumbling to dust.*
Idran1701 (2:24:37 AM): (4 damage!)
Idran1701 (2:25:28 AM): *He knocks the unattached sheet away, keeping it from slicing him yet again, though he can still feel the suction from the other sheet.*
Brodzky Zero (2:25:40 AM): *Switches hands and jas at that one too.*
Idran1701 (2:25:42 AM): *And as further worrisomeness, he can start to see an image of his facial features fade into view on its surface*
Brodzky Zero (2:26:17 AM): *That would be fearsome, if First had ever beheld the wonders of mirrors.*
Idran1701 (2:26:33 AM): *He gives it another deep stab, again cutting into his arm, but again ending the existence of the creature easily!*
Idran1701 (2:26:39 AM): (Another 4 damage roll. :D)
Brodzky Zero (2:27:50 AM): *Makes a lunging thrust stab at the third~*
Idran1701 (2:27:52 AM): *He barely has time to congratulate himself, though, before the third sheet slices at his face...adhering itself over the left side of his head, blocking some of his vision.*
Brodzky Zero (2:27:57 AM): (Oh right turns I forgot.)
Brodzky Zero (2:28:12 AM): (I AM TOO USED TO ROGUELIKES)
Idran1701 (2:28:17 AM): (:D)
SongstressEnlil (2:28:32 AM): (THEY HAVE TURNS)
Idran1701 (2:28:38 AM): (I WAS GOING TO SAY)
Idran1701 (2:28:44 AM): (But I didn't want Zero to cry again.)
Brodzky Zero (2:28:46 AM): (Yes, but you can immediately make another turn after you make a move.)
Brodzky Zero (2:29:04 AM): (So you can sort of just keep walking into things until one of you dies.)
Idran1701 (2:29:14 AM): (Speaking of turns, it is First's!)
Brodzky Zero (2:29:18 AM): (YEAH I KNOW)
Brodzky Zero (2:29:33 AM): (I have to run this scenario through the Zero System.)
Brodzky Zero (2:30:22 AM): (okay i saw some lines and dots move around on the screen)
Brodzky Zero (2:30:53 AM): (OPTIMAL ACTION WOULD BE POKE AT THE SUCKER LIGHTLY.)
Idran1701 (2:32:02 AM): (Hmm...)
Idran1701 (2:32:19 AM): (Gimme a Dex/Aim check to not slip. :D)
Idran1701 (2:32:22 AM): (LOW GOOD)
Idran1701 (2:32:26 AM): (<=13)
Brodzky Zero (2:33:13 AM): (Okay)
Brodzky Zero (2:33:18 AM): (D20?)
Idran1701 (2:33:37 AM): (Yep.)
OnlineHost (2:33:45 AM): Brodzky Zero rolled 1 20-sided die: 3
Idran1701 (2:35:35 AM): *First carefully prods the paer being, leaving a small hole in it. It seems to react, though he can't exactly see it to be sure, and he can feel himself getting just the barest of pokes from his weapon as well.*
Idran1701 (2:35:45 AM): *But at least he didn't stab through his brain!*
Brodzky Zero (2:36:04 AM): (Like that one anime character, he has a reserve brain in his shoulder.)
Idran1701 (2:36:16 AM): (Or like Ultimate Iron Man, he's made of brain.)
Brodzky Zero (2:36:34 AM): (Really?)
SongstressEnlil (2:36:39 AM): (And liquor, as I heard)
Idran1701 (2:36:41 AM): (Blame Orson Scott Card, he came up with it.)
Brodzky Zero (2:36:42 AM): (That must explain his alcoholi- yeah.)
Idran1701 (2:36:49 AM): (He wrote that story.)
Brodzky Zero (2:37:02 AM): (Orson Scott Card is a dick.)
Idran1701 (2:37:17 AM): *The paper is still attached, and still sucking at his face like a giant flat leech, only without the blood draining (hopefully!)*
Brodzky Zero (2:37:38 AM): *Tries prying it off.*
Idran1701 (2:37:48 AM): (d20 again!)
Idran1701 (2:37:53 AM): (AGAIN LOW BE GOODLY)
OnlineHost (2:38:12 AM): Brodzky Zero rolled 1 20-sided die: 19
Brodzky Zero (2:38:15 AM): (WOOP)
Idran1701 (2:38:40 AM): *He's not having any luck prying it; he can barely even get his fingertips underneath it.*
Idran1701 (2:39:02 AM): *He feels himself start to...fade, somewhat. That ain't good.*
Idran1701 (2:39:16 AM): (Oh, the poke was 1 damage, by the way.)
Idran1701 (2:39:22 AM): (Thought I said that, but nope.)
Brodzky Zero (2:39:24 AM): (YOU AREN'T SUPPOSED TO TELL ME)
Idran1701 (2:39:27 AM): (To the paper.)
Brodzky Zero (2:39:32 AM): (O_O!)
Brodzky Zero (2:39:42 AM): *Stabs the paper again, a bit more forcefully.*
Idran1701 (2:39:54 AM): (Another Dex/Aim check. :D)
Brodzky Zero (2:39:56 AM): (BUT NOT TOO MUCH >: I saw that gleam of Nethack in your eye!)
OnlineHost (2:40:00 AM): Brodzky Zero rolled 1 20-sided die: 17
Brodzky Zero (2:40:02 AM): (WOOP)
Idran1701 (2:40:58 AM): *He stabs a bit harder, and his sight returns to that eye as the paper dissolves. Though if he ever wanted a cheek piercing, now's the time for it!*
Idran1701 (2:41:15 AM): *Ew, blood tastes icky. :(*
Brodzky Zero (2:41:23 AM): *Perhaps!*
Brodzky Zero (2:41:28 AM): *Begins checking for others.*
Idran1701 (2:41:35 AM): (D@))
OnlineHost (2:41:42 AM): Brodzky Zero rolled 1 6-sided die: 6
Brodzky Zero (2:41:45 AM): (Hahaha)
Brodzky Zero (2:41:52 AM): (-sides@ makes it six.)
Idran1701 (2:41:58 AM): (:D)
Idran1701 (2:42:05 AM): (Heh.)
Brodzky Zero (2:42:07 AM): (I GOT A CRIT RIGHT?)
Idran1701 (2:42:18 AM): (YEAH SURE now roll a d20 to see how much of one :I)
OnlineHost (2:42:30 AM): Brodzky Zero rolled 1 20-sided die: 2
Brodzky Zero (2:42:32 AM): (2!)
Idran1701 (2:42:52 AM): *He can't see anything else in this room, no. Looks clear.*
Brodzky Zero (2:43:16 AM): *Goes and knocks on the door~*
Idran1701 (2:43:29 AM): *...a brief pause, and it opens!*
Idran1701 (2:43:53 AM): ...*the shopkeep looks a bit wide-eyed at his state* ...Did you get them?
Brodzky Zero (2:44:12 AM): Yes.
Brodzky Zero (2:44:14 AM): *Bleeds*
Idran1701 (2:44:56 AM): ...Well...*opens the door, taking a look around inside*
Idran1701 (2:45:23 AM): ...It looks clear, yes. I hope you'll understand if I give this a couple of hours, to ensure they're gone?
Brodzky Zero (2:45:33 AM): *Nod*
Idran1701 (2:46:47 AM): ...I'll...I'll see about funding your healing too, on top of...of the salary. *staring at the hole in his face*
Idran1701 (2:48:08 AM): (And cut here for today? :O)
Brodzky Zero (2:48:26 AM): (I GUESS IF YOU WANT)
Idran1701 (2:48:57 AM): (We actually had a somewhat-full-length session today! Even coutning the ~1 hour break. :D)
Idran1701 (2:49:02 AM): (Anyway, XP!)
Brodzky Zero (2:49:18 AM): (We can continue if you want. I ain't sleeping.)
Idran1701 (2:50:18 AM): (Yeah, but this seems like a good spot for it for me. Really, it was better length-wise than the last few sessions we've had.And since I'll be doing a lot less on-the-spot riffing for future ones, that should be able to be kept up.)
Brodzky Zero (2:50:59 AM): (Kay I guess :( Now I'll have to find something else to do.)
Idran1701 (2:51:11 AM): (:( )
Idran1701 (2:52:28 AM): (MATH?)
Brodzky Zero (2:52:43 AM): (No.)
Idran1701 (2:52:46 AM): (:( )
Idran1701 (2:53:53 AM): (XP!)
Brodzky Zero (2:54:20 AM): (XD)
Idran1701 (2:54:25 AM): (810 base. 200 bonus for sticking to First's "doesn't know what's what" so well. I loves him waiting outside the shop instead of knocking, that was a little detail that I might not have thought of myself. :D)
Idran1701 (2:54:29 AM): (Huh?)
Brodzky Zero (2:54:53 AM): (You XP!d at me :( )
Idran1701 (2:55:03 AM): (Oh, right.)
Idran1701 (2:55:08 AM): (I forgot that is an emoticon.)
Brodzky Zero (2:55:16 AM): (It's a high level one.(
Idran1701 (2:56:41 AM): (Anyway, right now First is at 7029/8000.)
Brodzky Zero (2:56:48 AM): (Yay)
Idran1701 (2:57:18 AM): (So, when's best for you for the next session for him?)
Brodzky Zero (2:57:35 AM): (Whenever I'm not at school, really.)
Idran1701 (2:57:44 AM): (*nod*)
Brodzky Zero (2:58:11 AM): (Or asleep or not at my computer.)
Idran1701 (2:58:21 AM): (Or eating or mathing.)
(3:12:59 AM) Brodzky Zero has left the room.
