(9:28:41 PM) You have just entered room "sean34xb."
(9:28:45 PM) Besyanteo has entered the room.
(9:28:50 PM) Brodzky Zero has entered the room.
(9:30:36 PM) SongstressEnlil has entered the room.
Idran1701 (9:31:00 PM): All right, then!
Idran1701 (9:31:06 PM): Anything before we start?
SongstressEnlil (9:31:18 PM): *Pony?*
Brodzky Zero (9:31:21 PM): (I have a complaint.)
Idran1701 (9:31:35 PM): Put it in the box, Zero.
Brodzky Zero (9:31:53 PM): (I did but it's been a week and you still haven't gotten back to me.)
Idran1701 (9:31:59 PM): *reads it*
Brodzky Zero (9:32:11 PM): :its illegible:
Idran1701 (9:32:34 PM): It will be acknowledged and dealt with.
Besyanteo (9:32:58 PM): I've just been asked to handle dishes.
Idran1701 (9:33:08 PM)
: Bah.
Idran1701 (9:33:26 PM): When you return, then.
Idran1701 (9:33:39 PM): Until then!
Idran1701 (9:33:48 PM): Zero, entertain us with your skills.
Brodzky Zero (9:34:09 PM): *:handles dishes; juggling them:*
Brodzky Zero (9:34:34 PM): *Hey Idran while you have the time listento Hawaii Five O and then Rockabye.*
Brodzky Zero (9:34:41 PM): *YOU CANNOT EXAPE MY GREEN LANTERN'S MIGHT NOW!*
Idran1701 (9:34:46 PM): *turns yellow*
Brodzky Zero (9:34:58 PM): *Yellow is one of the colors used in manufacturing green*
Idran1701 (9:35:07 PM): Green Lanterns cannot affect yellow things.
Brodzky Zero (9:35:15 PM): *PARADOX*
Idran1701 (9:35:17 PM): Except Alan Scott, who can't affect things made of wood. :O
Brodzky Zero (9:35:53 PM): http://zero.mysidia.org/music/the_final_conflict.mp3 *Hopefully when Bes gets back he might know what NES game this is from.*
Brodzky Zero (9:36:00 PM): *I can't get it out of my head :(*
SongstressEnlil (9:40:26 PM): *Me either.*
SongstressEnlil (9:40:43 PM): *Godammn Zero. ::Goes to listen::*
Besyanteo (10:02:32 PM): Yarr
Idran1701 (10:02:39 PM)
: !
SongstressEnlil (10:02:54 PM): *Oh yeah, this thing*
Idran1701 (10:03:06 PM): Well, then! You both ready? :D
Besyanteo (10:03:13 PM): Sure
Besyanteo (10:03:19 PM)
: Green
Idran1701 (10:03:33 PM)
: <WE BEGIN>
Idran1701 (10:05:45 PM): When last we left, Karl and Guy's portal passage had concluded.
Idran1701 (10:06:11 PM): Strangely enough, their visit was quite quick for them. But apparantly more than a bit longer for the Autognome.
SongstressEnlil (10:06:17 PM): *Idly massaging his side bits*
Idran1701 (10:06:38 PM): At the moment, they feel a good deal sore, more than a bit injured, and likely quite confused.
SongstressEnlil (10:07:09 PM): *Yes!*
Besyanteo (10:07:12 PM): I think... we did not do it.
SongstressEnlil (10:08:35 PM)
: *Nods* I wish I had a better idea of where it opened to. I suppose the Trakaini Heresy could have resulted in that...
Idran1701 (10:08:44 PM): Are you all right? You do not look too well.
SongstressEnlil (10:09:19 PM): *Looks around, just to assure himself he's not in an identical place, and Autognome beat them there somehow.*
Besyanteo (10:09:21 PM): *streatches carefully, getting a feel for just how badly off he really is*
SongstressEnlil (10:09:47 PM)
: IM: I've never heard of a portal that looped back on itself. I suppose it is possible, though.
Idran1701 (10:09:57 PM): *Karl takes a glance over...it's definitely the same place.*
Idran1701 (10:10:17 PM): *...And the crackling noise from behind them suddenly seems to increase in speed*
Besyanteo (10:10:29 PM): (Karl: I conclude that we are in Bizaro Bytopia. I suspect we will find the place littered with couches covered in equal amoutns of gnomes and stale potato chips.)
SongstressEnlil (10:10:42 PM)
: Let's head bac- *looks behind him toward the gate.*
Besyanteo (10:10:51 PM): *looks at the source of the sound!*
Idran1701 (10:11:13 PM)
: *it's the portal!*
Idran1701 (10:11:23 PM): *it seems to be quivering even more so than it had been*
SongstressEnlil (10:11:37 PM): *Observes! Unless one gets the feeling it is about to bite them.*
Idran1701 (10:12:13 PM): ...I do not believe portals are supposed to do that.
Besyanteo (10:12:41 PM): *backing away, ears flattened, eyes never off of it*
Idran1701 (10:12:46 PM)
: *the edges begin to pull in, almost seeming to be sucked towards the center*
Besyanteo (10:12:55 PM): I think we should move away...
SongstressEnlil (10:12:58 PM)
: *watches for any other emerging differences, taking a couple steps back himself.* I concur.
Idran1701 (10:13:34 PM): *Autognome follows suit, and the two watch...*
Idran1701 (10:13:43 PM): *...the portal almost seems to be being...sucked into itself*
SongstressEnlil (10:14:22 PM): *All too interested in watching this phenomena. Though another step back may be in order.*
Besyanteo (10:14:42 PM): *already behind a tree*
Idran1701 (10:15:00 PM)
: *there's some final quivering...and a sudden magical blast; good thing they did move away*
Idran1701 (10:15:05 PM): (Spellcraft checks for both of you. :D)
Idran1701 (10:15:08 PM): (REMEMBER, d5*d3)

SongstressEnlil (10:15:33 PM): (6)
Brodzky Zero (10:15:34 PM): (Hahaha)
Besyanteo (10:15:44 PM): (4)
Besyanteo (10:15:55 PM)
: (so... pass)
Idran1701 (10:15:56 PM)
: (Easy pass for both of you. :D)
Besyanteo (10:16:01 PM): (by 9!)
SongstressEnlil (10:16:13 PM)
: (By lots)
Idran1701 (10:16:40 PM): *The specific blast pattern is somewhat familiar to both of them...it looks like a smaller version of the phenomenon known as a "retributive strike"*
Brodzky Zero (10:17:05 PM): (What!?)
Besyanteo (10:17:08 PM): (More information for the mechanic dum?)
SongstressEnlil (10:17:12 PM)
: ...Hm.
Idran1701 (10:17:18 PM): (You know what happens when you snap a Staff of the Magi?)
Idran1701 (10:17:23 PM): (Or a Staff of Power?)
Besyanteo (10:17:24 PM): (Ah.)
Brodzky Zero (10:17:29 PM)
: (No I don't :( )
Idran1701 (10:17:38 PM): (Karl only knows it from Trakaini writings, mind.)
Besyanteo (10:17:40 PM): (Zero: It blows up, and everything in... what, 50 yards?)
Besyanteo (10:17:43 PM)
: (Bam.)
SongstressEnlil (10:17:48 PM)
: Guy, can you find if anything magical still lingers here?
Brodzky Zero (10:17:53 PM): (Ah right.)
Idran1701 (10:18:00 PM): (Either explodes or gets sucked into the Astral.)
Idran1701 (10:18:07 PM): (50/50 chance of either.)
Besyanteo (10:18:16 PM): (Also: How would Guy look for lignering magic?)
Besyanteo (10:18:21 PM)
: (Does DnD have a mechanic for that?)
SongstressEnlil (10:18:23 PM)
: (WOULD THAT QUANTITY BE KNOWN? The Astral bit?)
SongstressEnlil (10:18:31 PM): (Detect Magic, likely.)
Besyanteo (10:18:34 PM): (lingering*)
Idran1701 (10:18:35 PM)
: (Detect Magic, yeah.)
Besyanteo (10:18:40 PM): (Ah. Right. *checks spell list*)
Idran1701 (10:19:02 PM)
: (And to Pervy: He might not know the Astral specifically.)
Besyanteo (10:19:09 PM): *his tail flicks in an odd pattern, while he mutters*
SongstressEnlil (10:19:17 PM)
: (Just otha' planes, then)
Besyanteo (10:19:19 PM): (So yeah, Detect Magic.)
Idran1701 (10:19:22 PM)
: (Yeah.)
Besyanteo (10:20:47 PM): There is not much here. What it is is small and hard to read. It is going away slow.
Besyanteo (10:20:56 PM)
: (No, not "slowly".)
Besyanteo (10:21:04 PM)
: (:o)
SongstressEnlil (10:21:12 PM)
: Going away slow?
SongstressEnlil (10:21:56 PM): You believe they shall linger a bit?
Idran1701 (10:22:09 PM): (Ah, and in case it wasn't clear, the portal's gone now.)
Besyanteo (10:23:00 PM): Yes... But later they will be gone.
Besyanteo (10:23:11 PM)
: We have lost it.
SongstressEnlil (10:23:29 PM)
: So it seems.
Besyanteo (10:23:40 PM): (We needed Bob.)
Idran1701 (10:24:17 PM)
: ...What shall you do now?
SongstressEnlil (10:24:23 PM): Hmm, I'm not quite convinced I've seen everything there is to see. Would you mind meeting me back at the inn later? *to Guy*
Besyanteo (10:24:46 PM): Later? You want me to stay here?
SongstressEnlil (10:25:16 PM)
: No, I would like to. I tend to do my best work when I have no one to mind.
Besyanteo (10:25:47 PM): ... If that is what you want.
Idran1701 (10:25:56 PM)
: ...Shall I leave with Guy, Karl?
SongstressEnlil (10:26:20 PM): *smiles to guy* I appreciate it. I'll be back before sunrise, I am sure.
SongstressEnlil (10:26:50 PM): *To Automat* Hmm, can you tell me if this soil is different from the maority of the soil samples you've taken?
SongstressEnlil (10:27:13 PM): Or would that impinge too much upon what your powers have asked you to do?
Idran1701 (10:27:25 PM): ...It would not!
SongstressEnlil (10:27:54 PM): Please do so, then.
Idran1701 (10:27:59 PM): *he takes a sample, staring over it...tasting a bit; that's never less strange*
Idran1701 (10:28:26 PM): ...It is not appreciably different, no.
SongstressEnlil (10:28:32 PM): IM: I don't know if his face makes that more or less unnerving.
SongstressEnlil (10:28:34 PM): Thank you.
SongstressEnlil (10:29:01 PM): I'll see you all later, then.
Idran1701 (10:29:34 PM): *he nods* I wish you luck in your work, Karl!
Besyanteo (10:29:40 PM): *and... off they go?*
Idran1701 (10:31:38 PM)
: *Yes!*
Idran1701 (10:32:54 PM): *Does Guy have any specific goals back in Grandin?*
Besyanteo (10:33:40 PM): *It's night and he's tired and somewhat injured. He carries no money, so his best bet is to head for bed*
Idran1701 (10:36:00 PM)
: (Talking over stuff with Pervy, I'm still here. :O)
Besyanteo (10:36:12 PM): (*nod*)
Idran1701 (10:39:11 PM)
: *A few hours later, Karl returns, and the two sleep for the night.*
Idran1701 (10:41:18 PM): *the next morning, the sun...well, not the sun, but the light returns*
Besyanteo (10:41:38 PM): *Guy is staring at his spell book, his ears flat against his skull*
Besyanteo (10:41:47 PM)
: IM: This is not possible.
SongstressEnlil (10:42:25 PM)
: *They still feel lousy?*
Idran1701 (10:42:48 PM): (Yeah; well-sore, like they were put through a lot of work.)
Besyanteo (10:43:38 PM): *and... he studies*
SongstressEnlil (10:43:51 PM)
: *Very recently awoken, and checking himself to make certain he didn't get planar debris in the soft bits*
Besyanteo (10:44:13 PM): *Guy seems... agitated*
Besyanteo (10:44:25 PM)
: *his tail twitches and his ears move back and forth while he studies*
SongstressEnlil (10:44:42 PM)
: Is something the matter?
Besyanteo (10:45:03 PM): There are new spells in my book.
Besyanteo (10:45:12 PM)
: I put them there. ... But I did not put them there.
SongstressEnlil (10:45:46 PM)
: ...Is that so?
SongstressEnlil (10:46:16 PM): What do you mean you put them there? They are in your style?
Besyanteo (10:46:52 PM): They are writed with my copy spell.
Besyanteo (10:47:09 PM)
: But I do not remember doing this.
SongstressEnlil (10:47:15 PM)
: What are they?
Besyanteo (10:47:26 PM): (*works with Idran*)
Besyanteo (10:48:59 PM)
: There are many. I can not understand some of them...
Besyanteo (10:49:18 PM)
: They will be useful. But I am confused.
SongstressEnlil (10:49:52 PM)
: *Purses his lips* Odd.
SongstressEnlil (10:49:57 PM): What are they?
Besyanteo (10:50:21 PM): (Did we decide to just keep the names for spells listed in the source material?)
Idran1701 (10:50:56 PM)
: (Yeah, easiest way.)
Idran1701 (10:51:18 PM): (Go ahead and leave the wizard's name off of the last one, though, if you'd like.)
Idran1701 (10:51:22 PM): (Up to you.)
Besyanteo (10:51:30 PM): The ones I can read are known as...
Besyanteo (10:52:15 PM)
: Alarm, Identify, Wizard Lock, Invisibility, Summon Swarm, and Earthen Grasp.
SongstressEnlil (10:52:31 PM)
: *Nods* I see.
SongstressEnlil (10:52:57 PM): How many are there that you cannot read?
Besyanteo (10:54:43 PM): There are two. ... I think they are about...
Besyanteo (10:54:54 PM)
: animals... and divination.
SongstressEnlil (10:55:30 PM)
: *Nods* You may be able to convince our illusionist to tell you more about them.
Besyanteo (10:56:07 PM): I hope so.
SongstressEnlil (10:56:07 PM)
: Or there may be some practioner about who is a bit more humble in ability but less prone to feeling disturbed?
SongstressEnlil (10:56:49 PM): I wasn't able to find much myself, unfortunately. Just curious burn patterns I've not been able to make sense of.
Besyanteo (10:56:50 PM): Yes. *his tail wags just a little*
Besyanteo (10:56:57 PM)
: (switch places.)
Besyanteo (10:57:00 PM)
: ... PAtterns?
SongstressEnlil (10:57:39 PM)
: *Nods, and produces what seem to be a bit of burnt wood* See for yourself?
Idran1701 (10:58:08 PM): *it's a fragment of bark, with some sort of regular pattern, assumedly from the portal blast, burnt into its surface*
Besyanteo (10:58:21 PM): *he looks it over carefully!*
Besyanteo (10:58:31 PM)
: (does it seem at all familiar?)
Idran1701 (10:58:46 PM)
: (Gimme another Spellcraft check.)
SongstressEnlil (10:59:09 PM): (Guy: *Sniffs* It smells like woe and gym class)
OnlineHost (10:59:51 PM): Besyanteo rolled 1 5-sided die: 3

Besyanteo (10:59:58 PM): (easy pass)
Besyanteo (11:02:20 PM)
: ...
Besyanteo (11:02:24 PM)
: Karl.
SongstressEnlil (11:02:30 PM)
: Hm?
Besyanteo (11:02:32 PM): Someone meant to close the portal.
SongstressEnlil (11:02:52 PM)
: *Frowns* Go on.
Besyanteo (11:03:35 PM): These marks are the burns from the portal close. One pattern *he tries to gesture with his nose... and, frankly, fails. Still!* is the portal.
Besyanteo (11:04:02 PM)
: This other one *again, gesture. You know, that's not very helpful* is another spell from the same school. I do not know it well,
Besyanteo (11:04:10 PM)
: but it is definitely another spell.
Besyanteo (11:04:19 PM)
: Someone cast something on the portal.
SongstressEnlil (11:04:20 PM)
: Hmmm.
SongstressEnlil (11:04:37 PM): *Has another look at them, now that he's in better light.*
Idran1701 (11:04:58 PM): (Spellcraft!)

SongstressEnlil (11:05:48 PM): (6)
SongstressEnlil (11:06:45 PM): Hmmm. Yes, I can see it now. Thank you, Guy.
Besyanteo (11:07:22 PM): Of course.
Idran1701 (11:07:36 PM)
: *as they talk, there's a sudden creak as Autognome sits up from the floor, looking across the short bed to the pair* Hello!
SongstressEnlil (11:07:50 PM): Good morning.
Idran1701 (11:09:29 PM): Are you feeling in a better condition today?
SongstressEnlil (11:09:53 PM): A bit sore, still. But better.
Besyanteo (11:10:16 PM): Yes.
Idran1701 (11:11:40 PM)
: *he nods* I am glad you have improved!
Idran1701 (11:11:47 PM): What is to be done today?
Besyanteo (11:12:37 PM): *tail flick*
Besyanteo (11:12:49 PM)
: I think we have a... mystery to solve.
Besyanteo (11:13:08 PM)
: (We're just short a few characters to get the vibe goin right.)
Idran1701 (11:13:14 PM)
: (:D)
Besyanteo (11:13:19 PM): (=D)
SongstressEnlil (11:13:19 PM)
: I would like to spend at least a little time taking it easy, resting away a few aches, and looking around later.
Besyanteo (11:13:27 PM): Yes.
SongstressEnlil (11:13:49 PM)
: Finding a way back to sigil that is nearby would be nice, too. But we can save that until after we are finished investigating.
Idran1701 (11:15:11 PM): I shall try to aid with your investigating!
SongstressEnlil (11:15:53 PM): I appreciate it.
Idran1701 (11:16:45 PM): (And timeskip their resting for now? Or do you have special plans?)
SongstressEnlil (11:17:24 PM): (S'good)
Idran1701 (11:17:48 PM): (Bes?)
Besyanteo (11:17:48 PM): (I'm good)
Besyanteo (11:18:06 PM)
: (Just a bit tired is all. Sorry.)
Idran1701 (11:18:45 PM)
: (Nah, no problem.)
Idran1701 (11:18:49 PM): (One sec.)
SongstressEnlil (11:19:43 PM): (I blinded him with this)
Besyanteo (11:19:55 PM): (Hm?)
SongstressEnlil (11:19:57 PM)
: (Wow, AIM does not like that link)
Besyanteo (11:20:41 PM): ( XD )
Besyanteo (11:20:45 PM)
: (I want to play that game!)
SongstressEnlil (11:21:04 PM)
: (Me too, Besford. Me too. That would be sweet as pie and a half.)
Idran1701 (11:22:24 PM): (I remember seeing that "screenshot". :D)
Idran1701 (11:22:27 PM): (That's awesome.)
Idran1701 (11:22:48 PM): (They are doubling up on Monks, though. >:)
Besyanteo (11:23:22 PM): (Nope)
Besyanteo (11:23:27 PM)
: (BAtz is a dancer there)
Besyanteo (11:23:32 PM)
: (Bartz*)
Idran1701 (11:24:08 PM)
: (Ah, you're right.)
SongstressEnlil (11:24:13 PM): (Brb)
Besyanteo (11:26:11 PM): (... Gah. I hate to do this, but: )
Besyanteo (11:26:24 PM)
: (I'm exhausted, and have an early morning. :-/)
Idran1701 (11:26:35 PM)
: (Aha. Hmm.)
Idran1701 (11:26:42 PM): (Well, we can pick things back up tomorrow?)
Besyanteo (11:26:52 PM): (Fine with me if PErvy can do it. )
Idran1701 (11:26:53 PM)
: (Zero's not having a side session this week.)
SongstressEnlil (11:27:15 PM): (Sure, I am completely free tomorrow)
Besyanteo (11:27:21 PM): (Spiff)
Idran1701 (11:27:22 PM)
: (At least we've got a good cliffhangery spot. :D)
Besyanteo (11:27:27 PM): (Heh.)
Idran1701 (11:27:27 PM)
: (And Guy got to sound dramatic!)
Besyanteo (11:27:36 PM): (Night)
Idran1701 (11:27:39 PM)
: (Night.)
SongstressEnlil (11:27:39 PM): (Like the movie preview guy!)
Besyanteo (11:27:53 PM): (Ha!)
(11:27:58 PM) Besyanteo
has left the room.
(11:28:17 PM) SongstressEnlil has left the room.
