(9:17:52 PM) You have just entered room "sean32z."
(9:17:56 PM) Brodzky Zero has entered the room.
(9:17:57 PM) SongstressEnlil has entered the room.
Brodzky Zero (9:18:08 PM): *WITH SPECIAL GUEST, RICHARD "LOWTAX" KYANKA*
Brodzky Zero (9:18:40 PM): <Lowtax>
SongstressEnlil (9:18:43 PM): *OH GOD HE'LL BAN ME*
Brodzky Zero (9:18:47 PM): <First>
SongstressEnlil (9:19:10 PM): <Scribbling Furiously>
Brodzky Zero (9:19:32 PM): (AFK PIZZA TIME)
Brodzky Zero (9:20:01 PM): (Idran tell Pervy about the 'attack' he will find it amusing)
Idran1701 (9:20:06 PM): (What attack?)
Brodzky Zero (9:21:55 PM): (The attack on SA)
Idran1701 (9:22:04 PM): (Oh. You know more about it than I do.)
Idran1701 (9:22:39 PM): (Anyway, just a few more minutes, got to take care of something really quick.)
Brodzky Zero (9:23:21 PM): *Okay so last night, SA was under a DDOS attack, right?*
Brodzky Zero (9:23:28 PM): *And the servers were crashing*
SongstressEnlil (9:23:36 PM): *I recall this*
Brodzky Zero (9:23:37 PM): *TURNS OUT*
Brodzky Zero (9:23:41 PM): *There was no attack on SA*
Brodzky Zero (9:23:58 PM): *It was an attack on an Anti-SA website. They redirected the attack to SA*
Brodzky Zero (9:24:11 PM): *Radium decided to make it seem like the attack was disastrous.*
Brodzky Zero (9:24:20 PM): *By taking some servers offline.*
Brodzky Zero (9:24:24 PM): *The clever part:*
Brodzky Zero (9:24:44 PM): *He rigged it so people who went to the anti-SA website, as it redirected to SA, would give SA the cookie data for both sites.*
Brodzky Zero (9:25:06 PM): *Therefore, Radium can now see who is registered on the anti-SA website, and see if they are also on the SA website.*
SongstressEnlil (9:25:35 PM): *Hahahahahahaha :D*
Brodzky Zero (9:25:40 PM): *There was some conflagration of drama last night after I left, though, so Radium has resigned.*
SongstressEnlil (9:25:42 PM): *Sass, was it?*
Brodzky Zero (9:25:46 PM): *Yeah*
Brodzky Zero (9:25:59 PM): *But that's okay because Radium had been thinking of leaving for a while to work on something else.*
SongstressEnlil (9:26:25 PM): *Wow, who'll take Radium's place?*
Idran1701 (9:26:27 PM): Oh, no, there wasn't any drama.
Idran1701 (9:26:33 PM): It was fairly mutual between both of them.
Brodzky Zero (9:26:53 PM): *I mean drama on the side of goons.*
Idran1701 (9:26:54 PM): According to Ozma, at least.
Brodzky Zero (9:27:00 PM): *I wasn't there so I dunno what happened.*
Idran1701 (9:27:04 PM): No, didn't have to do with Goon Drama either.
Brodzky Zero (9:27:07 PM): *But Lowtax and Rad are still palls 4ever.*
Idran1701 (9:27:29 PM): Also 3 more minutes. :O
SongstressEnlil (9:27:34 PM): * :]*
Brodzky Zero (9:27:37 PM): oooOOOoooOOoooOO
Brodzky Zero (9:28:02 PM): *Pervy who would win in a fist fight between Monju and Enlil*
SongstressEnlil (9:28:58 PM): *Boxing or Streetfight?*
Brodzky Zero (9:29:15 PM): *Boxing. Monju's no alleyway bum.*
SongstressEnlil (9:31:20 PM): *Hmmm. Stat wise, Enlil would have a few edges, due to experience. Storywise, Monju would probably have her due to physical advantages and general having to rough it.*
Brodzky Zero (9:31:37 PM): *Ned is the ref.*
Idran1701 (9:32:37 PM): That's unfair. :(
Idran1701 (9:32:43 PM): You need to have a ref from neither world.
SongstressEnlil (9:33:00 PM): *Sly Nye?*
Brodzky Zero (9:33:03 PM): *Ned knows Enlil's weakness (aka: her measurements)*
Idran1701 (9:33:11 PM): Which is why it's unfair.
Idran1701 (9:33:30 PM): And no NPCs, PErvy. >:
Brodzky Zero (9:34:00 PM): *Can we have G. Gordon Liddy in the party as our thief?*
SongstressEnlil (9:34:13 PM): *He'd be great for information gathering*
Brodzky Zero (9:34:26 PM): *He's got a party of 1.5 million I hear.*
SongstressEnlil (9:37:11 PM): *Well armed, but their AC sucks*
Brodzky Zero (9:38:53 PM): *I don't really know who G. Gordon Liddy is so :X*
Idran1701 (9:39:05 PM): He was the guy behind the WAtergate break-in.
Idran1701 (9:39:12 PM): (It said that in the Fashion SWAT article. >:)
SongstressEnlil (9:39:21 PM): *(It did)*
Brodzky Zero (9:39:22 PM): *I said really know.*
Brodzky Zero (9:39:26 PM): *As in "I know that much."*
SongstressEnlil (9:39:41 PM): *And now I know*
SongstressEnlil (9:39:43 PM): *And now I know*
SongstressEnlil (9:39:45 PM): *And now I know*
SongstressEnlil (9:39:46 PM): *And now I know*
Brodzky Zero (9:39:59 PM): *Now I know.*
Brodzky Zero (9:40:01 PM): *Now I know.*
Brodzky Zero (9:40:11 PM): *THE EARTH WILL SHAKE IN TWO WILL BREAK*
Brodzky Zero (9:40:18 PM): *Death all around all around all around.*
SongstressEnlil (9:40:57 PM): *That song's great. It's like Freddy Mercury going up to Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young, and doing their thing once, only better.*
Brodzky Zero (9:41:59 PM): *I have never heard those guys knowingly.*
Brodzky Zero (9:42:10 PM): *Crosby is a cool name though.*
Idran1701 (9:42:37 PM): OKAY
Brodzky Zero (9:42:41 PM): *The first time I heard the song I was lying in bed with a fever and that part scared the fuck out of me.*
Idran1701 (9:42:42 PM): OTHER STUFF DONE
SongstressEnlil (9:42:43 PM): *Hmmm. Ten Soldiers and Nixon's coming, four dead in Ohio?*
Idran1701 (9:43:08 PM): You two ready to go? Still going to go for four hours from now.
Brodzky Zero (9:43:13 PM): *SO GREY IS THE FACE OF EVERY MORTAL*
Brodzky Zero (9:43:15 PM): *Yes.*
SongstressEnlil (9:44:06 PM): *Yep*
Idran1701 (9:44:17 PM): (GOOD)
Brodzky Zero (9:44:29 PM): (SUIT UP!)
Idran1701 (9:45:12 PM): As last things were left, the party had just dashed through the portal to Acheron, seeking to avoid a herd of abrian that had begun to dash towards them.
SongstressEnlil (9:45:37 PM): <Had a depressing thought.>
Brodzky Zero (9:45:48 PM): <Makes a plaintive gesture>
Idran1701 (9:48:22 PM): Now, they find themselves standing on one of the great iron cubes of the Battlefield, the hole in space standing behind them, the sound of the crashing of other cubes audible resonating through the space of this realm.
Brodzky Zero (9:49:57 PM): Which direction? *To Astorias Magicguy*
SongstressEnlil (9:50:05 PM): *Sucks on his upper teeth a bit, looking about for orcses*
SongstressEnlil (9:50:16 PM): *And other humanoids.*
Idran1701 (9:50:57 PM): *still none directly in sight here, from what they can spy, though the sound of battle echoes in the distance*
Idran1701 (9:51:17 PM): *mageguy points* The tunnel is this way, not far from here.
SongstressEnlil (9:51:42 PM): *Nods* Roit, let's move out before the birds get here.
Brodzky Zero (9:53:26 PM): *Begins walking at a somewhat ponderous pace towards the designated direction.*
SongstressEnlil (9:53:56 PM): First time here, ain't it lad? *to Firstus, walking along with him in that rolling gait dwarveses do so well.*
Idran1701 (9:54:29 PM): *Ducim may notice First is walking kind of funny*
Brodzky Zero (9:54:36 PM): Yes. *Shifts his messenger bag.*
SongstressEnlil (9:55:28 PM): You gonna be okay, basher? Got a funny bit to your step there.
Brodzky Zero (9:55:58 PM): I will be okay.
Brodzky Zero (9:56:11 PM): *Puts some muscle into his walking!*
Idran1701 (9:56:28 PM): *frowns at First, but says nothing!*
SongstressEnlil (9:56:40 PM): Roit you are. See those soddin' big cubes up there? *motions toward the sky!*
Brodzky Zero (9:57:14 PM): *Looks*
Idran1701 (9:57:15 PM): *there are a lot of cubes in the sky*
Brodzky Zero (9:57:26 PM): (Are they shiny or oxidized or what)
Idran1701 (9:57:28 PM): *some of them are hitting each other, face-to-face only*
Idran1701 (9:57:38 PM): (Shiny)
Idran1701 (9:57:43 PM): (Or dull.)
Idran1701 (9:57:47 PM): (But none are rusty.)
Brodzky Zero (9:58:22 PM): (Ducim: Me and 6 mates are planning on moving into one. Long live Cubedtrumpet!)
SongstressEnlil (9:59:43 PM): When you see one comin' at ya, don't bang around up here. Get yerself into a hole quick.
Brodzky Zero (10:00:04 PM): (Ducim: AND WATCH OUT FOR BULLET BILLS!)
Brodzky Zero (10:00:11 PM): *Nod*
SongstressEnlil (10:00:20 PM): And get ready to be tumbled around, when cubes hit, it ain't a fun ride. But better than bein' topside.
SongstressEnlil (10:01:02 PM): Just watch out. Whatever else was topside'll be coolin' their heels down there, too.
Brodzky Zero (10:01:14 PM): *Nod*
Brodzky Zero (10:01:35 PM): *HAs taken to shuffling his feet across the ground; foregoing the process of lifting them!*
SongstressEnlil (10:02:07 PM): What's all that, then? *glancing at First's feet.*
Idran1701 (10:02:21 PM): *walking along in front of them, not paying much mind*
Brodzky Zero (10:02:34 PM): It is heavy here.
SongstressEnlil (10:03:50 PM): Heavy?
Brodzky Zero (10:04:00 PM): Yes.
SongstressEnlil (10:04:17 PM): *Keeps his eyes sweeping ahead, to warn his hapless, Peter Puppy-like employer of bad things*
Idran1701 (10:06:06 PM): *Ducim can spot the tunnel entrance up ahead, just barely visible in the flat surface of the cube*
Brodzky Zero (10:06:31 PM): *Slide slide; keeping his eye on enemy cubes approaching*
SongstressEnlil (10:08:20 PM): Let us check that tunnel out first.
Idran1701 (10:08:31 PM): *no cubes seem to be nearing their spot, thankfully*
Idran1701 (10:08:43 PM): The portal's not far along its length.
SongstressEnlil (10:08:56 PM): Don't need to stumble arse over elbows into a goblin kip, still.
Idran1701 (10:09:15 PM): ...*nods, still frowning*
SongstressEnlil (10:11:10 PM): *Makes to take the lead* Keep an eye on back if you can't keep up, lad. *to Firstian*
Brodzky Zero (10:11:24 PM): *Slide slide!* *Nod*
Idran1701 (10:11:48 PM): *staying between the two, going silent again for now*
Idran1701 (10:12:11 PM): *The tunnel cuts straight down into the surface of the cube, though it soon bends out of sight of the mouth*
SongstressEnlil (10:12:45 PM): *Goes to the mouth, looks in with dwarf-vision, to make sure there are no nasties.*
Brodzky Zero (10:13:46 PM): *Keeps with Magedude!*
Idran1701 (10:13:49 PM): *nothing in the first 15 feet before the bend*
SongstressEnlil (10:14:13 PM): *Steps inside.*
Idran1701 (10:14:34 PM): *fwoop*
Idran1701 (10:14:44 PM): *Ducim now stands at a 90 degree angle to First! Weird!*
SongstressEnlil (10:15:59 PM): *To the bend, trying to keep quiet about it, but without cutting his walking speed.*
Idran1701 (10:17:27 PM): *Ducim traverses the tunnel carefully, the mage following behind just far enough to let him run if something eats the blue dwarf*
Brodzky Zero (10:17:56 PM): *Follows behind Mageykins; keeping an eye out for back-attacks*
Idran1701 (10:19:06 PM): *nothing much around here that Ducim can see. A dead body, goblin, with a few bite marks on it, but it looks to be hours old, nowhere near fresh*
Idran1701 (10:19:12 PM): *And no sign of the thing that did the biting*
Brodzky Zero (10:19:27 PM): <_< >_>
SongstressEnlil (10:19:53 PM): *Quietly* Got a bit up goblin up here. Looks like it happened some hours back, just keep an eye out in case the critter what did get hungry again.
Idran1701 (10:19:55 PM): (The tunnel's about 10 feet wide, a perfect circle in shape.)
SongstressEnlil (10:19:58 PM): *gets
Brodzky Zero (10:20:14 PM): *Nod*
Idran1701 (10:21:39 PM): *The three slowly head down the tunnel...when a noise can be heard from behind them. A disgusting, ripping noise.*
Brodzky Zero (10:21:51 PM): *Turns and looks*
SongstressEnlil (10:22:40 PM): *Whirls about, crossbow ready.*
Idran1701 (10:23:10 PM): *The three of them turn back the way they came...The only thing behind them is the dead goblin*
Idran1701 (10:23:19 PM): *...Though its head seems to be tearing free of its body*
Brodzky Zero (10:23:37 PM): *Approaches, shamshir drawn*
SongstressEnlil (10:23:39 PM): Ah sod.
SongstressEnlil (10:23:59 PM): *Aim and fire! Hopefully before First gets in the way*
Idran1701 (10:24:03 PM): *A pair of wings seem to unfurl from it, flapping as it gains some height, tentacles dripping with ichor trailing from its mass as it whirls...spotting the three*
Brodzky Zero (10:24:16 PM): (I think this is from the Bat Out of Hell 3 Trailer)
Idran1701 (10:24:17 PM): (One surprise round attack from Ducim. :D)
OnlineHost (10:24:42 PM): SongstressEnlil rolled 1 20-sided die: 2
SongstressEnlil (10:24:49 PM): (Ha!)
Brodzky Zero (10:24:55 PM): (Home Sweet Home from the Guilty Gear Isuka OST. Fits perfect.)
OnlineHost (10:27:40 PM): SongstressEnlil rolled 1 20-sided die: 15
Brodzky Zero (10:27:47 PM): (Lag?)
Idran1701 (10:27:54 PM): (Nope, different roll.)
Brodzky Zero (10:28:00 PM): (I am lag :U)
SongstressEnlil (10:28:27 PM): Ah hell.
Idran1701 (10:28:33 PM): *Ducim's bolt goes wide!*
Idran1701 (10:29:04 PM): (Initiative. :O)
Brodzky Zero (10:29:12 PM): (WHAT DOEST I ROLL?)
Brodzky Zero (10:29:20 PM): (d100!?)
Brodzky Zero (10:29:23 PM): (Lag :( )
OnlineHost (10:29:36 PM): SongstressEnlil rolled 1 10-sided die: 10
Idran1701 (10:29:48 PM): (d10)
SongstressEnlil (10:29:50 PM): *Reloading!*
OnlineHost (10:29:50 PM): Brodzky Zero rolled 1 10-sided die: 5
Idran1701 (10:29:51 PM): (LIKE PERVY
Brodzky Zero (10:29:58 PM): (PERVY IS A ROBOT)
SongstressEnlil (10:30:09 PM): (BEEP BEEP BOOP BLIP)
Idran1701 (10:30:17 PM): (ROBOTS DON'T BLIP >:)
Brodzky Zero (10:30:22 PM): (Yes they do.)
Brodzky Zero (10:30:31 PM): (When they have radar devices.)
Brodzky Zero (10:30:55 PM): (Pervy has a meat-dar to aid in his prime directive: Seek out, and catalog pork chops.)
Idran1701 (10:30:59 PM): (Also light crossbows can be loaded and fired in a single round.)
Brodzky Zero (10:31:15 PM): (Kreb has a light crossbow with a pistol grip :) )
Idran1701 (10:31:28 PM): (Pistol grip for pistol whip? :) )
Brodzky Zero (10:31:39 PM): (Whip with a pistol grip)
Idran1701 (10:31:55 PM): (Pistol with a whip grip)
SongstressEnlil (10:32:03 PM): (ORDER?)
Brodzky Zero (10:32:04 PM): (Control the maze!)
Idran1701 (10:32:28 PM): (MAKE ZERO STOP DISTRACTING ME)
Idran1701 (10:34:45 PM): (Ducim is first to begin acting!)
Idran1701 (10:35:14 PM): (Reloading the crossbow moves him down to 7 if that's what he's doing.)
SongstressEnlil (10:35:22 PM): *Fits a new quarrel, alright.*
SongstressEnlil (10:36:00 PM): =Gods damned floating dead demon head= soddin' =buggered...=
Idran1701 (10:36:05 PM): *Ducim begins his reloading as fast as he can, as the group hears an awful shriek come from the bat-winged head facing them*
Idran1701 (10:36:19 PM): (Saving throws :D)
Brodzky Zero (10:36:35 PM): (WHAT I ROLL)
Idran1701 (10:36:41 PM): (d20)
Idran1701 (10:36:47 PM): (I don't get to ask for saving throws often enough :D)
OnlineHost (10:36:49 PM): Brodzky Zero rolled 1 20-sided die: 9
Brodzky Zero (10:36:54 PM): (Is 9 good?)
Idran1701 (10:37:06 PM): (Not for this!)
Idran1701 (10:37:11 PM): (HIGH IS GOOD FOR THIS)
Idran1701 (10:37:30 PM): (Pervy?)
OnlineHost (10:37:55 PM): SongstressEnlil rolled 1 20-sided die: 11
SongstressEnlil (10:38:03 PM): (Distracted by Shini)
Idran1701 (10:38:53 PM): *The three of them find themselves frozen in place, unable to react due to the intense fear coursing through their bodies*
SongstressEnlil (10:39:50 PM): *Teeth gritted, frozen in place whilst reloading* IM: Bliiiiiiiiiiimy...
Brodzky Zero (10:40:09 PM): ...
Idran1701 (10:40:20 PM): *The head begins a slow float towards First, approaching him and wrapping his tentacles around the idolator's own head, biting his mouth and snapping him out of his fearful rigidity*
Idran1701 (10:41:03 PM): (First can act, this is the second round after the bathead's turn.)
SongstressEnlil (10:41:55 PM): (Music: In the Land of the Pig, the Butcher is King)
Brodzky Zero (10:42:22 PM): *Swipes at its wings with his shamshir!*
Brodzky Zero (10:42:31 PM): (This lag is not cool dude)
Idran1701 (10:42:38 PM): (How many attacks is First going for here?)
Idran1701 (10:42:48 PM): (Also was that color, or a called shot?)
Brodzky Zero (10:43:07 PM): (One attack; called shot)
Idran1701 (10:43:17 PM): (*nod* d20, -4)
OnlineHost (10:43:23 PM): Brodzky Zero rolled 1 20-sided die: 16
Brodzky Zero (10:43:26 PM): (IS THAT GOOD)
SongstressEnlil (10:43:59 PM): (I HOPE SO)
Idran1701 (10:44:08 PM): *First swings his blade, slicing the creature's wing nicely and sending it to the ground!*
Brodzky Zero (10:44:22 PM): (First needs to get a bonus now to all creatures that latch onto his head)
Idran1701 (10:44:26 PM): *It seems fairly helpless right now; the shock of the strike serves to snap Ducim out of his paralysis*
Idran1701 (10:44:57 PM): (8 damage and you cut off its wing :D)
Brodzky Zero (10:45:37 PM): (I'm trying to remember the name of a German sword style; used against wearers of plate armor)
Brodzky Zero (10:45:56 PM): (It involved holding the blade with your own gauntleded hands and using the handle as a club)
Brodzky Zero (10:46:10 PM): (This is unrelated to the RP but I really need to rmeember)
SongstressEnlil (10:46:24 PM): *Shakes his head, making a sort of "Burrhurrhurrhurr" noise, and there is some flapping of cheeks.*
SongstressEnlil (10:46:33 PM): *Then he gets back to reloading.*
Idran1701 (10:46:54 PM): (Formal combat's basically over; it's flapping helpless on the ground.)
SongstressEnlil (10:47:09 PM): *And, will be quite happy to put a bolt through it's head at point blank range afterwards.*
Brodzky Zero (10:47:31 PM): *Adjusts his diadem.*
Idran1701 (10:48:09 PM): *the green glow of its eyes fade, and it lays still on the ground, bleeding a nasty green ooze out of both wounds*
Brodzky Zero (10:49:30 PM): *To Mageguy* Are you okay?
Idran1701 (10:49:47 PM): *the mage soon becomes able to move himself as well, blinking off the effect*
Idran1701 (10:49:51 PM): ...I believe so.
SongstressEnlil (10:49:59 PM): *Fits a new quarrel, and slings his crossbow over his shoulders. Then he looks balefully at the thing* Gimme that! *puts a book on the thing and yanks his quarrel back out.*
Brodzky Zero (10:50:36 PM): (He has witnessed death.)
SongstressEnlil (10:50:51 PM): *Then tries to shake off some of the gunk before putting it in the "To be cleaned" portion of his quiver*
Idran1701 (10:50:52 PM): *The quarrel snaps off in the skull, unfortunately for Ducim*
SongstressEnlil (10:51:00 PM): *Or not.*
Idran1701 (10:51:09 PM): *The missed one's still somewhere in the cave, though*
SongstressEnlil (10:51:29 PM): Sod it! *punts the thing up the cave, and gets the other one*
Idran1701 (10:51:50 PM): *...There it is, half-lodged in the iron wall. Sturdy bolt, this one*
Idran1701 (10:52:05 PM): (First is not going to like that :I)
Idran1701 (10:52:13 PM): (HE CANNOT SACRIFICE THAT WHICH IS PUNTED)
SongstressEnlil (10:52:21 PM): *Tries to remove it.*
Idran1701 (10:52:35 PM): *It comes out somewhat easily without breaking*
SongstressEnlil (10:52:36 PM): (Score one for Muamman <Surname>!)
Brodzky Zero (10:52:42 PM): (It was not his kill.)
Idran1701 (10:52:46 PM): (TAKE NOTES >: )
SongstressEnlil (10:52:58 PM): *Replaces it* Sorry 'bout that, cutter. *to the mage*
Idran1701 (10:53:28 PM): *staring off at the since-punted head* Hmph. Do you know what that was?
Brodzky Zero (10:53:32 PM): ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mordhau )
Brodzky Zero (10:53:38 PM): No.
Idran1701 (10:53:41 PM): (Even so, he can take the wing if he would like.)
Idran1701 (10:53:45 PM): (It is still here!)
SongstressEnlil (10:53:51 PM): Some kinda dead demon thing. Got a scream like an iron gate bein' ripped in half by a giant and recently widowed harpy.
Brodzky Zero (10:53:53 PM): (It is not a fitting sacrifice.)
Idran1701 (10:54:05 PM): (I mean as a tasty treat, perchance.)
Brodzky Zero (10:54:14 PM): (Wings = gristle)
SongstressEnlil (10:54:27 PM): Think they make bashers they kill into things like 'em.
Idran1701 (10:54:32 PM): (Tell that to the chicken!)
SongstressEnlil (10:54:37 PM): (You use them to escape the cube.)
Idran1701 (10:55:19 PM): I see.
SongstressEnlil (10:55:41 PM): S'get movin'?
Brodzky Zero (10:55:43 PM): Yes.
Idran1701 (10:56:29 PM): Yes...the portal shouldn't be much further, I believe.
Brodzky Zero (10:57:18 PM): *Slide slide slide*
SongstressEnlil (10:57:19 PM): *Nods and takes the front, trying to abuse being a planar to figure out where the portal is before blundering into it.*
SongstressEnlil (10:58:54 PM): (Music: Castle Dracula: CV2 version)
SongstressEnlil (11:00:20 PM): Looks pretty clear ahead.
SongstressEnlil (11:00:37 PM): *Still leading down. Trying not to lose Firstus, though.*
Brodzky Zero (11:00:51 PM): *Is managing to keep up!*
SongstressEnlil (11:02:28 PM): *Toward the supposed portal, but still keeping wary for orcses.*
Idran1701 (11:02:33 PM): *they continue on, navigating the slightly-twisty tunnel*
Idran1701 (11:02:50 PM): *more bodies are found, also goblin, but they seem to already be headless*
Idran1701 (11:02:55 PM): *Lucky? No? WHO KNOWS*
Idran1701 (11:02:59 PM): (About a half-dozen of them.)
Brodzky Zero (11:03:02 PM): *Slide slide; which isn't so easy when the ground isn't flat!*
Brodzky Zero (11:03:05 PM): (Is there any loot?)
Idran1701 (11:03:13 PM): (Is First checking this time?)
Brodzky Zero (11:03:16 PM): (No.)
Idran1701 (11:03:43 PM): (Then I guess you'll never know :I)
Brodzky Zero (11:03:53 PM): (Fair enough)
SongstressEnlil (11:04:17 PM): Bah. Probably more of 'em on th' cube.
SongstressEnlil (11:04:31 PM): *Stops a yard or so from the gate*
Brodzky Zero (11:05:16 PM): *Stops as well*
Idran1701 (11:05:23 PM): *also stops!*
Idran1701 (11:05:33 PM): What is it?
SongstressEnlil (11:05:46 PM): Right, anything we need t' be lookin' for on th' other side?
SongstressEnlil (11:06:10 PM): Would've asked last time, but had th' birds an' all.
Idran1701 (11:06:42 PM): Not especially. My research shall have to be done on the surface of the cube on the far side.
Idran1701 (11:06:56 PM): But beyond that, there are no special concerns.
SongstressEnlil (11:07:04 PM): *Nods and plunges in*
Idran1701 (11:07:13 PM): *He steps through!*
SongstressEnlil (11:07:15 PM): *Crossbow ready*
Brodzky Zero (11:07:20 PM): *Follows*
Idran1701 (11:08:04 PM): *follows through as well between the two*
OnlineHost (11:09:06 PM): SongstressEnlil rolled 1 6-sided die: 4
Idran1701 (11:09:33 PM): *there's a slight tingley feeling as they step forward, but otherwise things seem pretty much the same*
Brodzky Zero (11:11:38 PM): (TESUTO)
SongstressEnlil (11:12:23 PM): *Moving on, cautious as always*
Idran1701 (11:12:35 PM): *the trio moves on*
Idran1701 (11:12:55 PM): *Ducim keeps a careful eye out as they progress, reaching out with his keen dwarf senses*
Brodzky Zero (11:13:10 PM): *Continues glancing about, trying to be aware of things that mayu be hazardous.*
Idran1701 (11:13:37 PM): *however, their trip seems to be a short one, as a mere 20 feet later, following a few more twists and turns, they're on the surface of a...much different cube*
Idran1701 (11:14:44 PM): *they seem to be in the middle of a great rusted-out pit*
Idran1701 (11:15:09 PM): *the metal here seems much less solid, and here and there they can spot what appear to be the petrified remains of all sorts of things*
Idran1701 (11:15:21 PM): *equipment, people, even a few larger mechanical constructions*
Brodzky Zero (11:15:25 PM): *Scans them!*
SongstressEnlil (11:15:59 PM): This it?
Idran1701 (11:16:13 PM): It looks to be, yes.
Brodzky Zero (11:16:34 PM): *Steps backwards*
SongstressEnlil (11:16:46 PM): Roit then. Anything y' need, or y' just want us keepin' outta th' road?
Brodzky Zero (11:17:09 PM): *Flails a bit*
Idran1701 (11:17:15 PM): I may need some assistance later, but for now the latter will do quite fine.
SongstressEnlil (11:17:47 PM): ...Y' okay, basher?
Idran1701 (11:17:50 PM): *and their employer takes out a pair of miniature cubes, examining them*
Idran1701 (11:17:55 PM): ...*looks to First* Eh?
Brodzky Zero (11:18:37 PM): *Is swiping at the air with some fury.*
Idran1701 (11:20:06 PM): ...What is it?
SongstressEnlil (11:20:15 PM): *Scruntizes where he's swiping.*
Brodzky Zero (11:20:21 PM): It is harsh.
SongstressEnlil (11:20:29 PM): Might be unseesible.
Idran1701 (11:20:29 PM): *First seems to be turning...reddish-orange*
Idran1701 (11:20:50 PM): *...Wait, no, that's the rust in the air clinging to him*
SongstressEnlil (11:20:56 PM): Or an - huh?
Brodzky Zero (11:22:25 PM): *Gives up.*
Idran1701 (11:22:27 PM): *His swipes seem to only be making it worse, too*
SongstressEnlil (11:23:08 PM): Uh...got some rust on y'.
Brodzky Zero (11:24:03 PM): Yes.
SongstressEnlil (11:24:27 PM): Might have somethin' t' clean it off with. Lemme check.
SongstressEnlil (11:25:15 PM): Have a look 'round, make sure we ain't got no critters comin' up on us.
Brodzky Zero (11:25:24 PM): *Looks around!*
Brodzky Zero (11:25:31 PM): *Also scanning the remains*
Idran1701 (11:25:35 PM): *Nothing on the ground...*
Brodzky Zero (11:25:43 PM): *Since maybe creatures could take refuge there*
Idran1701 (11:25:44 PM): *...but there's something buzzing through the air in the distance*
Idran1701 (11:25:56 PM): *It looks vaguely draconic, though it's unlikely First could recognize that fact*
Idran1701 (11:26:14 PM): (Up to Pervy if Ducim would.)
SongstressEnlil (11:26:53 PM): *Pulls out a hanky* This'll do your face up, at least.
SongstressEnlil (11:27:12 PM): *Looks toward the dragony bit.*
Brodzky Zero (11:27:22 PM): Look. *points; with a hand caked with rust*
Idran1701 (11:27:36 PM): *It looks to be the shade of rusted iron itself, as it flits in the void between cubes*
SongstressEnlil (11:27:41 PM): Ah hell, not onna those Rust Wyverns, it is?
SongstressEnlil (11:28:07 PM): (Mmm lag)
Idran1701 (11:28:28 PM): ...It appears more to be a dragon than a wyvern...I didn't realize there _were_ dragons out here.
Brodzky Zero (11:28:52 PM): ...
SongstressEnlil (11:29:00 PM): S'long as it don't bother us, and we get in th' tunnel 'for it clues in t' us.
SongstressEnlil (11:29:20 PM): *Watches it, to make sure it isn't coming for them*
Idran1701 (11:29:29 PM): (Shouldn't be too dangerous; looks like it's a good hundred yards or so away.)
SongstressEnlil (11:29:55 PM): IM: I thought dragons was the ones with more'n one head, though. Like that one on Avernus.
Idran1701 (11:30:18 PM): ...Indeed. I'm not especially in the mood to deal with a dragon myself.
SongstressEnlil (11:30:27 PM): Best wait it out, I'm thinkin'.
Idran1701 (11:31:17 PM): *That doesn't seem to take long; it ducks behind one of the distant cubes, and doesn't look to have reappeared on the other side.*
SongstressEnlil (11:31:43 PM): Looks clear.
Brodzky Zero (11:31:50 PM): Okay.
Idran1701 (11:32:05 PM): *nods, turning his attention back to his two small, runicly-inscribed, slightly-charred cubes*
SongstressEnlil (11:33:14 PM): How you feelin', basher? The cubes don't seem twig to you.
Idran1701 (11:36:43 PM): (Wait, was that to the mage, or First?)
Idran1701 (11:36:46 PM): (I assumed the latter.)
Brodzky Zero (11:37:08 PM): (I thought he was talking to mAgiguy)
SongstressEnlil (11:37:38 PM): (First is always Basher right now)
Brodzky Zero (11:37:49 PM): (Okay)
Brodzky Zero (11:37:57 PM): I am okay.
Idran1701 (11:39:05 PM): *he's still getting a bit oranger, but it's slowed some at least!*
SongstressEnlil (11:39:19 PM): *He still shuffling?*
Brodzky Zero (11:39:23 PM): (He gets an AC bonus right?)
Brodzky Zero (11:39:43 PM): *He is shuffling, yes.*
Idran1701 (11:40:23 PM): *the mage begins a slow walk, holding the cubes out in front of him, examining them closely as he moves over the surface*
Brodzky Zero (11:41:47 PM): (I call for a water break at midnight)
SongstressEnlil (11:41:52 PM): I got eyes, Basher. A sod doesn't turn orange an' walk like 'e's got a boulder on his bacak for no reason.
Idran1701 (11:42:35 PM): (MOTION PASSES)
Brodzky Zero (11:42:46 PM): This land is heavy, and harsh.
SongstressEnlil (11:43:29 PM): I'm thinkin' you're meanin' that in ways most berks don't.
Idran1701 (11:45:00 PM): *somewhat distracted* This place doesn't seem especially harsh to me...no more so than some places, at least.
Brodzky Zero (11:45:38 PM): It is hard to walk, and the air is full of metal.
Brodzky Zero (11:45:50 PM): *Ponders*
Idran1701 (11:47:57 PM): Hard to walk?
SongstressEnlil (11:47:58 PM): Not havin' any trouble myself with movin'. Nor's the spellslinger there.
Brodzky Zero (11:49:16 PM): *Nod*
SongstressEnlil (11:53:57 PM): So what'd the chant, basher?
(11:54:11 PM) Brodzky Zero has left the room.
(11:55:29 PM) Brodzky Zero has entered the room.
Brodzky Zero (11:55:39 PM): (:( )
Idran1701 (11:55:40 PM): (FIRST DIED SORRY :( )
Brodzky Zero (11:55:51 PM): (I hope he took Ducim down with him.(
SongstressEnlil (11:56:15 PM): (Ducim put him in the Duke's room)
Idran1701 (11:56:33 PM): (WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? :( )
Brodzky Zero (11:56:35 PM): (Mandate: DO NOT TRADE ROCKS)
Brodzky Zero (11:56:51 PM): I do not know.
SongstressEnlil (11:56:56 PM): (Hahahaha :D)
Brodzky Zero (11:57:13 PM): (Also expect my net to go out soon)
SongstressEnlil (11:57:14 PM): *Nods* When y' say harsh, harsh like what?
Brodzky Zero (11:57:23 PM): (If it does, I'll be gone for like 15 minutes)
SongstressEnlil (11:57:26 PM): (Also: DF references, Idran)
Idran1701 (11:57:42 PM): (WATER BREAK IS NIGH ANYWAY)
Brodzky Zero (11:57:54 PM): The metal is surrounding me.
Idran1701 (11:57:55 PM): (Pause for that, wait out the 5 minutes and tack them on at the end of the session?)
Idran1701 (11:58:00 PM): (*15)
Idran1701 (11:58:06 PM): (My 1 key is breaking :( )
Brodzky Zero (11:58:16 PM): (My internet cable is breaking.)
Brodzky Zero (11:58:34 PM): (I think that it's overheating and causing my internet to drop.)
Idran1701 (11:58:37 PM): (Okay, we will pause for water and Zero's internet.)
Brodzky Zero (11:58:41 PM): (OKAY!!!)
Brodzky Zero (11:58:51 PM): (Pervy, make Idran download DF and watch the opening FMV)
Brodzky Zero (11:59:02 PM): (I'll be back in 20, hunny bunnies :) )
Idran1701 (11:59:06 PM): (NO)
SongstressEnlil (11:59:10 PM): (You heard the man, Spaceman)
Idran1701 (11:59:22 PM): (Hahaha you called Zero "the man".)
Brodzky Zero (11:59:22 PM): (I've been trying to make him watch it for a year.)
SongstressEnlil (11:59:38 PM): (DO IT OR I WILL BRIBE SHINI TO MAKE TARA INTO A DROW)
Idran1701 (11:59:49 PM): (I CAN PLAY THAT)
SongstressEnlil (12:00:11 AM): (NOT THE WAY SHINI'LL DO IT.)
(12:00:11 AM) Brodzky Zero has left the room.
Idran1701 (12:00:33 AM): (IF HE CAN PLAY JANDA THROUGH EVERYTHING I CAN PLAY TARA)
SongstressEnlil (12:00:56 AM): (OH HE THINKS HE CAN)
SongstressEnlil (12:01:13 AM): (I'M NOT DONE WITH HER YET.)
SongstressEnlil (12:01:24 AM): (EGRO: WATCH INTRO)
Idran1701 (12:01:35 AM): (LEGRO MY EGRO >: )
SongstressEnlil (12:02:00 AM): (NOT TIL YOU WATCH IT)
SongstressEnlil (12:06:45 AM): (AND IF YOU DON'T, I'LL WAIT TIL YOU COME TO OHIO, STEAL YOUR MONEY, AND BUY THOMAS COVENANT BOOKS WITH IT.)
Idran1701 (12:06:57 AM): (OKAY)
Idran1701 (12:07:06 AM): (I ONLY CARRY DEBIT CARDS ANYWAY)
SongstressEnlil (12:07:22 AM): (I'LL HAVE JUDO FIND YOUR PIN NUMBER)
Idran1701 (12:07:54 AM): (THE GAMES FORUM MOD?)
SongstressEnlil (12:08:24 AM): (I DON'T THINK HE IS.)
SongstressEnlil (12:08:34 AM): (HE'S LIKE BW. BUT BLACK)
Idran1701 (12:08:34 AM): (WAIT THAT IS JODO)
(12:20:36 AM) Brodzky Zero has entered the room.
Brodzky Zero (12:20:42 AM): (Pervy :) )
Brodzky Zero (12:20:46 AM): (Idran :) )
Idran1701 (12:20:51 AM): (Zero? :) )
Brodzky Zero (12:21:14 AM): (I am not Spanish; I'm Egyptian!)
Brodzky Zero (12:21:22 AM): (And you have the manners of a goat!)
SongstressEnlil (12:21:28 AM): (Firing squad :( )
Brodzky Zero (12:21:42 AM): (That'll do nothing; you need to remove my head.)
SongstressEnlil (12:21:55 AM): (We'll see about that.)
Idran1701 (12:22:08 AM): (Anyway, internet any better, Zero?)
Brodzky Zero (12:22:14 AM): (I am connected.)
Brodzky Zero (12:23:21 AM): The metal is pulled to me.
SongstressEnlil (12:24:02 AM): Hm. Looks like your shiv's okay.
Idran1701 (12:25:47 AM): *glances over, walking slowly and wielding the cubes somewhat like a divining rod as he sweeps the area*
Brodzky Zero (12:26:06 AM): *Nod; shuffle*
SongstressEnlil (12:26:31 AM): *Leaves Wizardo to his work. He's watching for nasties and working over First.*
SongstressEnlil (12:26:43 AM): So just the rust in th' air, eh?
Brodzky Zero (12:27:21 AM): Yes.
SongstressEnlil (12:27:59 AM): And it's tuggin' yer feet down, aye? *Taps First's foot with the edge of his boot*
Brodzky Zero (12:28:42 AM): Yes. It is hard to walk here.
Idran1701 (12:29:38 AM): (Let me know when you're done CIing and I'll timeskip on. :O)
SongstressEnlil (12:29:41 AM): *Frowns* Ye're not part lodestone, are ye?
Brodzky Zero (12:30:17 AM): I do not know what that is.
SongstressEnlil (12:31:07 AM): S'kind of rock. Some kinds of metal sticks to it, iron bein' a biggie.
Brodzky Zero (12:31:38 AM): I do not think so.
SongstressEnlil (12:32:19 AM): *Raises an eyebrow* So it ain't n'cessarily no, basher?
Brodzky Zero (12:32:46 AM): I do not think that I am.
SongstressEnlil (12:34:02 AM): Roit.
SongstressEnlil (12:34:23 AM): *Seems to be satisfied. And gets more onto keeping watch*
SongstressEnlil (12:34:26 AM): (Ready)
Brodzky Zero (12:34:38 AM): (NOT READY)
Brodzky Zero (12:34:40 AM): *Shuffles*
Brodzky Zero (12:34:41 AM): (READY)
Idran1701 (12:35:07 AM): *Time passes in Thuldanin, their employer continuing to wander over the surface of the cube, coming to a stop about half an hour later*
Idran1701 (12:35:35 AM): ...This seems to be the center.
SongstressEnlil (12:35:54 AM): Yeah?
Idran1701 (12:36:21 AM): *nods, setting the cubes down, one atop the other*
Brodzky Zero (12:36:28 AM): *Observes*
SongstressEnlil (12:37:05 AM): *Likewise. Best to ask after the fireworks*
Idran1701 (12:38:23 AM): *he steps back, writing on both some parchment and the cube's surface itself, observing the smaller items as he does*
Idran1701 (12:39:00 AM): *nothing much seems to be happening at first...but they can see the occasional spark start to drift around the two cubes now, seeming to come from just about nowhere*
OnlineHost (12:39:25 AM): SongstressEnlil rolled 1 20-sided die: 20
Brodzky Zero (12:39:59 AM): (Ducim: *Falls up. Off the cube. Onto another cube. Gets a bad thought.*)
Idran1701 (12:40:36 AM): *...This seems to be about all they can expect, after a few minutes of watching; no fireworks are forthcoming, it seems. :(*
SongstressEnlil (12:41:06 AM): IM: Crazy spellslingers.
SongstressEnlil (12:41:14 AM): *Back to keeping the nasties away*
Brodzky Zero (12:41:36 AM): *Sits and prays to himself quietly.*
SongstressEnlil (12:42:28 AM): (Idolating yourself is cheating)
Idran1701 (12:42:35 AM): *Ducim takes up a watch, keeping an eye on the ground and the air*
Idran1701 (12:42:54 AM): *Meanwhile, First prays, his skin and tunic getting ever more caked with rust*
OnlineHost (12:44:07 AM): SongstressEnlil rolled 1 20-sided die: 18
OnlineHost (12:44:37 AM): Brodzky Zero rolled 1 20-sided die: 14
Brodzky Zero (12:44:47 AM): (is 14 better than 18?)
Idran1701 (12:45:50 AM): *Beyond a few insects buzzing around, Ducim doesn't have much yet to spot*
Idran1701 (12:46:02 AM): *Things seem to be fairly boring here already; it's looking like it'll be a long day here*
Idran1701 (12:46:13 AM): *And not even a pond in sight :(*
SongstressEnlil (12:46:44 AM): IM: Wonder if he'd mind if I scarpered off to the the other side of the cube a looked for a good place to cast a rod?
Idran1701 (12:47:31 AM): *The insects perch on First on occasion...where they seem to be getting stuck just as badly as the rust in the air*
Idran1701 (12:47:34 AM): *Lousy planar pests*
Brodzky Zero (12:47:57 AM): *Does not let them interrupt his prayer!*
Idran1701 (12:49:49 AM): *They buzz unhappily, and the minutes tick by...Ducim catches sight of that dragon again, flitting about, but it still doesn't seem to have noticed the trio*
Idran1701 (12:49:58 AM): *Maybe take a shot at it, stir up some excitement?*
SongstressEnlil (12:50:08 AM): *Well, it's something to watch.*
Idran1701 (12:50:42 AM): *Well, in some good news, some of that rust seems to be sloughing off First's head, from the look of things*
Idran1701 (12:50:50 AM): *...Wait, that's his hair*
Brodzky Zero (12:52:11 AM): *Praying.*
Idran1701 (12:52:36 AM): *Just seems to have all dropped to the ground at once now, laying in a near-circle around him*
SongstressEnlil (12:53:12 AM): ...Hey, Basher. That supposed t' happen?
Brodzky Zero (12:53:29 AM): *Stops praying.*
Brodzky Zero (12:53:34 AM): I do not think so.
Brodzky Zero (12:53:39 AM): *Stands.*
Idran1701 (12:53:48 AM): *the hair doesn't stand with him*
SongstressEnlil (12:54:00 AM): Lemme get a look at ye. Kneel down 'ere.
Brodzky Zero (12:54:07 AM): *Kneels.*
SongstressEnlil (12:54:19 AM): *Gets a good look at First's headbits*
Idran1701 (12:56:06 AM): *His head looks a bit more pale than normal, and fairly smooth for a scalp*
SongstressEnlil (12:56:33 AM): Huh. Ye look pale under all that rust. Hurt anywhere?
Idran1701 (12:58:29 AM): (Zero's not here.)
(12:58:29 AM) Brodzky Zero has left the room.
(12:58:45 AM) Brodzky Zero has entered the room.
Brodzky Zero (12:58:47 AM): (AS I WAS SAYING)
Idran1701 (12:59:07 AM): (...Why did you just invite me here?)
Brodzky Zero (12:59:09 AM): *Upon his head is also a blueish steatite diadem; carved finely with images of warriors!*
Brodzky Zero (12:59:15 AM): (Easiest way to invite myself.)
Idran1701 (12:59:22 AM): (Can't you just invite yourself?)
Brodzky Zero (12:59:27 AM): (I had your window open.)
Idran1701 (12:59:31 AM): (:O)
Brodzky Zero (12:59:36 AM): (YOUR QUESTIONS AREN'T HELPING ME CATCH UP)
Brodzky Zero (12:59:38 AM): No.
Brodzky Zero (12:59:43 AM): (THAT WAS TO DWARFO'S QUESTION)
SongstressEnlil (1:00:16 AM): *Looks to the wizard, he obviously casting something?*
Brodzky Zero (1:00:33 AM): My head feels odd.
SongstressEnlil (1:00:44 AM): What like?
Idran1701 (1:00:50 AM): *nope; doesn't seem too aware of the proceedings, but he's not actually casting*
Idran1701 (1:01:01 AM): *just...writing, runicing, watching*
Brodzky Zero (1:01:05 AM): *Shrugs*
SongstressEnlil (1:01:44 AM): Hey, Spellslinger, you got a moment? Basher 'ere's got a bit of trouble, maybe you know what?
Idran1701 (1:02:18 AM): ...*glances up* I'm a bit...busy. What is it?
SongstressEnlil (1:02:37 AM): *Jerks a thumb toward Hairless*
SongstressEnlil (1:03:21 AM): He gettin' the stones, or whatever happens to berks that're here too long?
Idran1701 (1:03:39 AM): ...I don't believe so.
Idran1701 (1:04:04 AM): But there is some sort of enchantment within him...it appears necromantic in nature.
SongstressEnlil (1:04:41 AM): *Clicks his tongue* That's probably no good. Got any way t' deal with it?
Idran1701 (1:05:40 AM): I'm afraid not, no.
OnlineHost (1:07:46 AM): SongstressEnlil rolled 1 20-sided die: 11
SongstressEnlil (1:08:40 AM): ...Maybe that head bit got 'im?
Idran1701 (1:08:55 AM): ...Eh?
SongstressEnlil (1:10:13 AM): That thing we tangled wit' in th' tunnel.
Brodzky Zero (1:10:43 AM): *Stands; adjusts his diadem.*
Idran1701 (1:10:47 AM): ...Some sort of poison, you mean?
Idran1701 (1:11:03 AM): *some more hair trapped under it falls out as he adjusts the pretty crown*
SongstressEnlil (1:11:19 AM): Uh, could be. But I'm thinking, maybe it's done t' im what got done to that goblin, see?
Idran1701 (1:11:43 AM): ...I thought you said they had to kill their victim.
SongstressEnlil (1:11:57 AM): Said I think they do, didn't say I was sure.
Idran1701 (1:12:28 AM): ...Hmph. All right, then...if that's it, what would you have us do?
SongstressEnlil (1:12:36 AM): Well. Uh.
SongstressEnlil (1:13:12 AM): Oy, basher. Loosen your bone box.
Brodzky Zero (1:13:16 AM): ???
Brodzky Zero (1:13:21 AM): What do you mean?
SongstressEnlil (1:14:47 AM): Start making with the talkin' and coming up with ideas here. You're the one with the head case.
Brodzky Zero (1:15:13 AM): I think it will become okay.
Idran1701 (1:16:07 AM): ...*flatly* Certainly confident, I see.
Brodzky Zero (1:16:41 AM): It is important that you finish your work so we can return quickly.
SongstressEnlil (1:18:43 AM): You sure about that, basher? This don't seem like something you'll give the laugh if it bites back.
Brodzky Zero (1:19:12 AM): *Ponders*
Idran1701 (1:20:25 AM): That would seem a fairly unwise decision, yes.
Brodzky Zero (1:22:22 AM): What should be done?
Idran1701 (1:22:32 AM): ...I have no clue. I'm not a healer.
SongstressEnlil (1:23:13 AM): I'm thinkin' if y' ain't got a priest in yer pocket, it'd be best t' go find one.
Brodzky Zero (1:24:40 AM): Where would we find one?
Idran1701 (1:24:43 AM): I doubt we'll have much luck of that here. But I believe the Outlands portal isn't far from a town.
SongstressEnlil (1:25:31 AM): Wouldn't trust a cube-bound priest any longer than it'd take t' toss 'em off the edge.
SongstressEnlil (1:26:04 AM): *Looks to Wizardo* Think we'll be lookin' into that town. You wanna come, or feel like stickin' it out 'ere?
Idran1701 (1:26:50 AM): ...I'd rather not risk it. I have no clue how long this may take, and my work is early enough that it can still be interrupted.
SongstressEnlil (1:28:10 AM): Right. Mark yer spot good, an' we'll try an' fix all this up quick smart.
Idran1701 (1:28:25 AM): I'll be able to find it well enough on our return.
SongstressEnlil (1:29:22 AM): Roit. Get shufflin', basher. *toward the tunnel!*
Idran1701 (1:29:41 AM): *follows, slightly reluctantly, collecting his cubes as he goes*
Brodzky Zero (1:30:23 AM): *Shuffles!*
SongstressEnlil (1:30:48 AM): *Taking point again*
Idran1701 (1:31:54 AM): *the group heads on, back across Acheron*
Idran1701 (1:32:15 AM): *they soon return to the portal...no birds can be seen on the other side from this angle...*
SongstressEnlil (1:32:41 AM): *Heads through*
Brodzky Zero (1:32:56 AM): *Lets Magkins go and then goes himself!*
Idran1701 (1:33:30 AM): *...looks clear...*
Idran1701 (1:34:32 AM): ...*takes out some parchment*...It was a ways n...this way. *points out a direction*
SongstressEnlil (1:35:01 AM): *Nods, and starts that way, playing pointman and feeling much more in his element.*
Brodzky Zero (1:35:39 AM): *Is walking; doing his best to keep an eye out!*
Idran1701 (1:36:16 AM): *They walk along followed by the sound of now-more-audible angry buzzing, as the iron bugs still try to pull themselves off of First*
SongstressEnlil (1:37:12 AM): Maybe you oughta brush them off?
Brodzky Zero (1:37:25 AM): *Does so.*
Brodzky Zero (1:37:40 AM): *Picking them off if needed.*
Idran1701 (1:37:58 AM): *That doesn't seem to work as well as he might hink; they're stuck to his fingers now*
Idran1701 (1:38:02 AM): *think
Brodzky Zero (1:39:17 AM): *Tries to scrape them off onto his armor.*
Idran1701 (1:39:48 AM): *They get a bit smashed in the process, but they're off his hands at least*
Idran1701 (1:40:01 AM): *One good thing about metal bugs; they crush more than splatter*
Brodzky Zero (1:41:09 AM): *Walk walk*
SongstressEnlil (1:41:21 AM): *Likewise!*
Idran1701 (1:41:30 AM): *It's not long before they arrive at the town, First flaking a bit of rust along as they go, giving them a nice trail to follow back once they're done*
Idran1701 (1:42:32 AM): *They get more than a few looks at townsfolk as they approach; a blue dwarf and an orange humanoid make for an interesting pair, it seems*
Brodzky Zero (1:42:58 AM): (Mageguy: FEH! WHO NEEDS THESE SCHEMIELS!)
SongstressEnlil (1:43:10 AM): *Any chance Ducim knows the place?*
Idran1701 (1:43:14 AM): (WHY IS EVERYONE AN OLD YIDDISH GUY ZERO?)
Idran1701 (1:43:30 AM): (Pervy: Possibly! Roll me a d20.)
SongstressEnlil (1:43:52 AM): (Ducim: *Looks around* Looks...familiar. Ma Granitestrokes: THERE YOU ARE! Ducim: ...When'd we get that gate?)
OnlineHost (1:44:00 AM): SongstressEnlil rolled 1 20-sided die: 12
Idran1701 (1:44:15 AM): (Nope; his travels never took him to this place.)
SongstressEnlil (1:44:17 AM): (Music: Bindy)
SongstressEnlil (1:44:39 AM): (OH GOD THERE'S GONNA BE A SHA'IR)
Idran1701 (1:44:58 AM): (WHAT MAKES YOU SAY THAT?)
SongstressEnlil (1:45:12 AM): *Looks around for any sort of temple or someplace being a recognized healer's symbol*
SongstressEnlil (1:45:15 AM): (BINDY)
Brodzky Zero (1:45:37 AM): (Test)
Idran1701 (1:45:47 AM): (Lag?)
Brodzky Zero (1:46:33 AM): (YES)
Idran1701 (1:47:32 AM): (:I)
Idran1701 (1:47:50 AM): *Ducim spots what looks to be a temple not far ahead*
SongstressEnlil (1:48:06 AM): *He know the deity?*
SongstressEnlil (1:48:13 AM): *Of it, that is
SongstressEnlil (1:48:33 AM): *As he only chills with Muamman. And Thor. And Mishakal.*
Idran1701 (1:48:50 AM): *Diancecht, looks like*
Idran1701 (1:49:07 AM): (Celtic healing power)
SongstressEnlil (1:49:20 AM): (I know :D)
SongstressEnlil (1:49:38 AM): S'place we need right there. Good folk, them. *Gestures toward the temple.*
Brodzky Zero (1:50:00 AM): *Begins walking in that direction!*
SongstressEnlil (1:50:39 AM): *Follows along*
Idran1701 (1:52:19 AM): *The trio reach the temple, which stands open, inviting all inside its doors*
Brodzky Zero (1:52:26 AM): *Enters*
Idran1701 (1:52:37 AM): *Most citizens seem to be giving the group a wide berth, keeping themselves a good distance away*
Brodzky Zero (1:53:05 AM): (Stupid fucking teenage vandals.)
Idran1701 (1:53:10 AM): (?)
Brodzky Zero (1:53:24 AM): (Some kids just threw a rock through my neighbor's car window and ran off giggling)
Idran1701 (1:53:44 AM): (:( )
Brodzky Zero (1:54:42 AM): (ANYWAYS)
Idran1701 (1:54:46 AM): *inside, an acolyte notes them quickly; she heads up to the pair in greeting*
Brodzky Zero (1:54:51 AM): Hello.
Idran1701 (1:55:01 AM): ...Ah...welcome.
Brodzky Zero (1:56:57 AM): I need help.
Idran1701 (1:57:12 AM): (Forgot to change color. :O)
Idran1701 (1:57:26 AM): ...What...sort of help can we offer you?
Brodzky Zero (1:57:44 AM): *Waits for Ducim and Magio to speak*
SongstressEnlil (1:58:04 AM): You know that gate leadin' to Acheron?
SongstressEnlil (1:58:24 AM): He got bit by a flyin' demon head. Made 'is hair fall out.
SongstressEnlil (1:58:40 AM): Cutter there says he's got a bit of the necromancy in 'im.
Idran1701 (1:59:36 AM): ...*blinks* I see. Well, it's lucky you came to us, then...I'll get one of the priests here to do what they can.
SongstressEnlil (1:59:59 AM): *Nods*
SongstressEnlil (2:00:31 AM): *Once Acolyte leaves, he whispers toward magey* Good folk, like I said. Not too many questions usually.
Idran1701 (2:01:40 AM): *he nods, and an older-looking fellow in dark green leathers approaches* Well, I hear someone's had a bit of a tussle with a vargouille nearby?
Brodzky Zero (2:02:02 AM): *Nods*
SongstressEnlil (2:02:35 AM): That's what they're called! Kept thinkin' it was Pennag-something.
SongstressEnlil (2:02:59 AM): And yeah, this sod. *jerks a thumb at First*
Idran1701 (2:03:03 AM): *just standing and frowning*
Idran1701 (2:05:23 AM): Well, that shouldn't be too much of a trick to handle. Come with me.
Idran1701 (2:06:47 AM): *begins heading off* I hope you don't mind the look of the place. I'm afraid things have been a bit...tight around here in recent weeks.
Brodzky Zero (2:06:56 AM): *Follows*
Idran1701 (2:07:06 AM): *offers a small smile to the group at this comment*
SongstressEnlil (2:07:40 AM): IM: I ain't paying for it, if that's what he wants.
Idran1701 (2:08:54 AM): You're lucky you found us, however; usually, it's a matter of hours before one attacked by a vargouille succumbs to its curse.
Brodzky Zero (2:09:50 AM): ...
SongstressEnlil (2:10:12 AM): *Waits in the forechamber, looking about at things.*
Idran1701 (2:11:09 AM): Now, then, before we proceed, there is the matter of cost...
SongstressEnlil (2:12:05 AM): (Ducim: Lookit them torqs. Mage: I bet they're hiding goiters or something. Ducim: Ha! Healing god my arse!)
Idran1701 (2:12:56 AM): After all, we do have our own expenses to consider. Salaries, temple upkeep, supplies, that which we need to provide these services.
Idran1701 (2:14:52 AM): I'm certain this is agreeable, yes?
Brodzky Zero (2:15:29 AM): *Nod*
Idran1701 (2:16:46 AM): Well then, for this service, I would think a reasonable fee to be...oh...300 gold? The spellcasting for this healing is fairly complex, after all.
Idran1701 (2:16:59 AM): And I doubt you would find another temple willing to charge such a reasonable rate.
Brodzky Zero (2:18:00 AM): *Ponders*
Idran1701 (2:18:33 AM): I must warn you, this ailment is certain death if it isn't treated in time.
Brodzky Zero (2:19:24 AM): Okay.
Idran1701 (2:19:36 AM): Then we have an agreement?
Brodzky Zero (2:19:48 AM): Yes.
Idran1701 (2:20:11 AM): *nods* All right. If you will lie down? *he gestures to a low table in back of the side room*
Brodzky Zero (2:20:28 AM): *Does as asked!*
Idran1701 (2:20:55 AM): *the priest begins his chanting, laying his hands on First's chest...*
Idran1701 (2:21:19 AM): *the seconds tick by, and First can feel the force being purged from his body*
Idran1701 (2:21:58 AM): *soon, his work is done; he removes his hands, brushing the rust off, and steps back* Well...that should be it.
SongstressEnlil (2:22:26 AM): (First has gone from dying to having Dave's Syndrome)
Brodzky Zero (2:22:44 AM): (BUt his body is constantly 88 degrees! >_< )
Idran1701 (2:22:59 AM): (YOU SAID 89 >:)
Brodzky Zero (2:23:21 AM): (ANYWAYS BREAK?)
Idran1701 (2:23:27 AM): (SURE)
Idran1701 (2:23:39 AM): (First payin' the guy, or heal-n-dash?)
Brodzky Zero (2:23:52 AM): (Paying)
Idran1701 (2:23:55 AM): (*nod*)
Brodzky Zero (2:24:04 AM): (So he gets like, -50 gold for this adventure O_O )
Idran1701 (2:24:09 AM): (And now First will not turn into a bat-winged head flying around!)
SongstressEnlil (2:24:19 AM): (Kill him, sacrifice the body on the altar and reconsecrate it)
Idran1701 (2:24:37 AM): (Diancecht is a netural deity.)
Idran1701 (2:24:40 AM): (*neutral)
SongstressEnlil (2:24:54 AM): (Then check under the altar for treasure.)
Idran1701 (2:24:55 AM): (ANYWAY)
Idran1701 (2:25:04 AM): (NOW FOR XP AND ZERO IF YOU SAY "XD" IN RESPONSE I WILL SMACK YOU)
Idran1701 (2:26:30 AM): (250 base. 650 for the combat, bonus 100 for Zero for continuing to play First quite well IC, and 50 for Pervy for actually trying to find a use for those dwarven racial abilities.)
Brodzky Zero (2:26:50 AM): (What racial ability?)
Idran1701 (2:26:51 AM): (It almost worked too!)
SongstressEnlil (2:26:55 AM): ( :D)
Idran1701 (2:27:19 AM): (Knowing innately your depth underground without having to have traveled down yourself.)
SongstressEnlil (2:27:23 AM): (BEST CHARACTER POINTS I EVER SPENT)
Brodzky Zero (2:27:24 AM): (!!)
Idran1701 (2:27:30 AM): (He was trying to check the other side of the portal to see if it had worked.)
Idran1701 (2:27:39 AM): (The layer portal.)
SongstressEnlil (2:28:10 AM): (It's a bit tough when the whole thing is pretty much an iron vein, though)
Idran1701 (2:29:05 AM): (Yeah.)
Idran1701 (2:29:07 AM): (BUT YOU TRIED)
Idran1701 (2:29:29 AM): (Seriously that's the first time I've seen anyone use one of those. :D)
SongstressEnlil (2:29:58 AM): (I'd use them just because any self respecting dwarf would divine that information ASAP.)
SongstressEnlil (2:30:26 AM): (AND DUCIM IS A SELF RESPECTING DWARF.)
Idran1701 (2:30:35 AM): (Also First dinged)
Brodzky Zero (2:30:57 AM): (Woop)
Idran1701 (2:31:17 AM): (Level now or tomorre?)
Brodzky Zero (2:31:28 AM): (TOMORE)
Idran1701 (2:32:39 AM): (SO FAR THE RESULT OF LEAVING FIRST ALONE:)
Idran1701 (2:33:05 AM): (12000 gp fine, scar to cheek, lost all his hair, cloak burnt away, almost had his head fly away.)
Idran1701 (2:33:25 AM): (AND HE DOESN'T CARE ABOUT ANY OF IT :O)
Brodzky Zero (2:33:44 AM): (That's the best part.)
Idran1701 (2:33:48 AM): (It is.)
Idran1701 (2:34:07 AM): (I can't wait until the party remerges and he just mentions stuff out of nowhere.)
Idran1701 (2:34:19 AM): (Not to show off, just because he doesn't think it's really important or whatever. :D)
Brodzky Zero (2:34:28 AM): (They are all good deeds for his Creator.)
Idran1701 (2:34:34 AM): (Even the head thing?)
Brodzky Zero (2:34:46 AM): (Yes.)
(2:42:05 AM) Brodzky Zero has left the room.
(2:52:46 AM) SongstressEnlil has left the room.
