(10:05:36 PM) You have just entered room "sean41."
(10:05:39 PM) SongstressEnlil has entered the room.
(10:05:39 PM) TheWaiChibiAngel has entered the room.
(10:05:46 PM) CGNakibe has entered the room.
SongstressEnlil (10:09:26 PM): *Derp*
(10:09:31 PM) Besyanteo has entered the room.
Idran1701 (10:09:44 PM): Hey, Bes. Still need to decompress a bit, or you good?
Besyanteo (10:09:57 PM): I'm alright
Besyanteo (10:09:59 PM): :o
CGNakibe (10:10:12 PM): Derp?
SongstressEnlil (10:10:22 PM): *Yes!*
Idran1701 (10:10:49 PM): All right. Think I've told everyone by now, but next week's game'll be Thursday at 11 Eastern.
SongstressEnlil (10:11:01 PM): *I wasn't told, but that oughta work*
Idran1701 (10:11:04 PM): It'll probably stick with that through the summer, hopefully beyond as well if schedules hold up.
Besyanteo (10:11:22 PM): *nod*
Besyanteo (10:11:38 PM): Pervy: Get me some time tomorrow for the exact stuff on that Robe
SongstressEnlil (10:11:49 PM): *Okay.*
SongstressEnlil (10:11:58 PM): *Or just tag me when you see me*
Idran1701 (10:12:01 PM): Anyway, since I assume everyone's good to start by now:
Idran1701 (10:12:04 PM): <RP!>
SongstressEnlil (10:12:12 PM): (Whichever of recalls)
SongstressEnlil (10:12:39 PM): <Fishing for disaster>
SongstressEnlil (10:12:49 PM): <Disaster at fishing>
Besyanteo (10:13:19 PM): <Played out Generic Lassie Parody?!>
CGNakibe (10:13:32 PM): <Washed up Child Star>
Idran1701 (10:13:33 PM): The last time we left this party so long ago, they had just accepted an offer by their recently-found phoenix to find some
plums.
Idran1701 (10:13:35 PM): Exciting!
SongstressEnlil (10:13:46 PM): (Guy is way cooler than a Lassie parody, and I'll here no different!)
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:13:50 PM): <TANK>
SongstressEnlil (10:13:51 PM): (*hear)
Besyanteo (10:13:57 PM): (=D!)
Idran1701 (10:14:01 PM): (That's Charcoal, Shini. :O)
Idran1701 (10:14:05 PM): (Lil's Vanifont.)
Besyanteo (10:14:15 PM): (... Wow)
CGNakibe (10:14:28 PM): (Hehehe)
Besyanteo (10:14:35 PM): (Also: I maintain that Charcoal and Lilin the same room atthe same time would bethe awesomeest thing ever)
Idran1701 (10:14:46 PM): They bed down for the night, fairly tired from their journeys across Elysium, before the phoenix takes them to the
outskirts of Xaos.
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:14:50 PM): (You almost saw it happen!)
Besyanteo (10:14:52 PM): (I'd throw in Tareen, but that would just go toofar)
CGNakibe (10:15:03 PM): (Too Far isn't NEARLY far enough! :D!)
Besyanteo (10:15:08 PM): (Heh)
SongstressEnlil (10:15:21 PM): (Toss in Kasarov as a commentator)
SongstressEnlil (10:15:28 PM): (He'd be good at it)
Besyanteo (10:15:56 PM): (Heheh)
Idran1701 (10:16:29 PM): Night passes fairly uneventfully, as one might expect in the nesting grounds of a phoenix.
Idran1701 (10:16:39 PM): Not much call to worry about wandering beasties and ne'erdowells here.
Idran1701 (10:16:52 PM): (Any night-time actions from anyone I should know of?)
Besyanteo (10:17:04 PM): (dog snores)
SongstressEnlil (10:17:07 PM): *Reading the whole night, with that nifty new book of his from Sigil*
SongstressEnlil (10:17:16 PM): *Dwarf snores*
Besyanteo (10:17:29 PM): (Ducim snoring will be superior)
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:17:37 PM): <Damnit Idran>
Besyanteo (10:17:40 PM): (Like me against Reako)
Idran1701 (10:17:50 PM): *Thorn decides to spend the night in the campfire, if anyone cares. He seems to like it there!*
SongstressEnlil (10:17:52 PM): (That was still hilarious)
Besyanteo (10:17:57 PM): (=D!)
Idran1701 (10:18:03 PM): (Bah, if I said nothing, you'd realize halfway through and curse me out for that. >: )
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:18:25 PM): (I'm running on 4 hours sleep scince 9 AM. It's a miracle I'm noticing I'm wearing pants.)
Besyanteo (10:18:40 PM): (Pants are the devil's miscreants!)
CGNakibe (10:18:44 PM): *studying magics*
Besyanteo (10:18:47 PM): (Also: *hug*)
SongstressEnlil (10:18:54 PM): (It's a miracle you're bothering. I wouldn't in your situation. =[)
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:19:09 PM): *Watching Thorn!*
Besyanteo (10:19:25 PM): *paws twitch while he sleeps*
Idran1701 (10:19:31 PM): *snoozing as the flames flicker around him*
SongstressEnlil (10:19:39 PM): IM: This is...amazing. How did we never think of this?
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:19:40 PM): (Pervy.)
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:19:45 PM): (Pervy I forgot to tell you.)
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:19:47 PM): (Terrible news.)
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:19:50 PM): (It's awful.)
SongstressEnlil (10:20:10 PM): (Awful me. Via IM)
Besyanteo (10:20:17 PM): (;-;)
Idran1701 (10:20:36 PM): Soon, daylight begins to break over the fields of Elysium, shining upon the encamped quartet and co.
SongstressEnlil (10:20:55 PM): *Snoozing now.*
SongstressEnlil (10:21:09 PM): *Up and at 'em!*
Besyanteo (10:21:13 PM): *he rises with the sun!*
Besyanteo (10:21:25 PM): *... to sit and look bored on the floor*
Idran1701 (10:21:30 PM): Those who slumbered may be slightly amazed at just how comfortable a flat rock plateau can be.
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:21:42 PM): *Not quite up yet*
SongstressEnlil (10:21:51 PM): *Twitches, turns*
Besyanteo (10:21:54 PM): IM: Get uuuuup....
CGNakibe (10:21:54 PM): *yawns and stretches as he wakes up* IM: Well. It seems to be time for us to greet another day.
SongstressEnlil (10:22:22 PM): Ain't Elysium th' best, cutter? *grins toward Guy*
Besyanteo (10:22:26 PM): IM: Would itbe an evil act to go hunt up some breakfast?
Besyanteo (10:22:44 PM): *his ears perk up* It is good, yes.
Idran1701 (10:22:46 PM): The phoenix shows signs of stirring himself, as the light of the sun begins getting to even one as used to heat as he.
CGNakibe (10:23:15 PM): That was quite a wonderful sleep.
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:23:21 PM): *Not up!*
CGNakibe (10:23:22 PM): I never thought rock would turn out so comfortable.
Besyanteo (10:23:26 PM): (Actually, do you still get hungry here?)
Idran1701 (10:23:44 PM): (Well, they do. Guy might not.)
SongstressEnlil (10:23:49 PM): *Very quietly* Somethin' that's been botherin' me. Lilium, does she sleep proper?
Idran1701 (10:23:57 PM): (I think the spell'd still be active, if he's been keeping it up.)
Besyanteo (10:23:57 PM): IM: ... Not very hungry. Hm.
Besyanteo (10:24:03 PM): (True)
Besyanteo (10:24:16 PM): I do not know.
Besyanteo (10:24:22 PM): *he stands up, and shakes out*
Besyanteo (10:24:38 PM): *and then he looks in Lil's direction*
Besyanteo (10:25:08 PM): ... She is not smoking, so the plane is not hurting her I think...
Besyanteo (10:25:12 PM): *he pads over*
Idran1701 (10:25:23 PM): *the slow build of activity about the plateau begins to grab Thorn's attention, as he opens his eyes, yawning and stretching*
Besyanteo (10:25:32 PM): *just to silently examine her*
Besyanteo (10:25:55 PM): (any knowledge skills oralikes he could use to figure out if she NEEDS sleep?)
SongstressEnlil (10:26:11 PM): *Small moan. Probably only Guy would detect it*
CGNakibe (10:26:17 PM): I... can't say for sure. I don't THINK so....
Besyanteo (10:26:20 PM): *he looks over*
Besyanteo (10:26:32 PM): *does Karl look like something'swrong?*
Idran1701 (10:26:35 PM): (For Guy? Hmm...no rolls necessary to know that most undead don't need sleep.)
Idran1701 (10:26:41 PM): (But Lil's not most undead, of course.)
Besyanteo (10:26:58 PM): ... She is not normal. But most like herdo no need sleep.
SongstressEnlil (10:27:18 PM): *Karl looks like Karl sleeping. Guy is fairly sure something's up, after travelling alone with him. But nothing out of the "ordinary"*
Besyanteo (10:27:18 PM): IM: ... wait. I'm right next to her. Well,this could beawkward
Besyanteo (10:27:32 PM): *he pads over to Karl!*
Besyanteo (10:27:52 PM): *Because that's better than and angry person waking upwith youin theirface, right?*
SongstressEnlil (10:28:13 PM): *Turns*
Besyanteo (10:28:21 PM): (Lil: AHHHHG!)
Besyanteo (10:28:26 PM): (Karl: Damn sleep turning.)
SongstressEnlil (10:28:27 PM): *Checking his crossbow bolts*
Idran1701 (10:28:28 PM): *Thorn soon hops out of the campfire himself, heading over to Lil and sitting nearby*
Idran1701 (10:28:31 PM): (Heh.)
SongstressEnlil (10:28:33 PM): (Heehee)
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:28:38 PM): *Flops over*
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:28:50 PM): *...It's hard to tell the status of her eyes with that gloom around it.*
Idran1701 (10:29:08 PM): *just watching her face*
Besyanteo (10:29:11 PM): IM: Eh. No way to know ifeither of them is alright.
Besyanteo (10:29:51 PM): (Guy: DAre you to bark at her)
SongstressEnlil (10:30:08 PM): So, we got anything in mind before we head out toward Xaos?
Idran1701 (10:30:11 PM): *and Coffinmaker, that NPC that still exists, is still sleeping himself just at the edge of camp, near the rock face on the far side*
Besyanteo (10:31:12 PM): *glances at the sun. How high is it now?*
SongstressEnlil (10:31:15 PM): (Coffinmaker: *Cuddles a rock like a plushie. Sucks his thumb*)
Idran1701 (10:31:18 PM): *the phoenix begins shifting a bit more, seeming pretty close to waking up from the look of it*
Idran1701 (10:31:36 PM): (Barely over the horizon; dawn just hit.)
Besyanteo (10:32:06 PM): IM: Why must humans sleep past dawn?
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:32:31 PM): IM: I wonder how long I can lie here before they realize I'm awake?
CGNakibe (10:32:44 PM): Ain't got much on my mind right about here.
SongstressEnlil (10:32:54 PM): *Shifts*
Idran1701 (10:33:00 PM): *still staring her in the eyes, that way dogs sometimes do*
CGNakibe (10:33:04 PM): *ahem* So.. Err... whenever you folk are ready? And Lilium feels ready to get up, of course.
Besyanteo (10:33:34 PM): (Ha ha ha)
Idran1701 (10:33:38 PM): T2all: Yes...no hurry...I always love a good rest.
Besyanteo (10:33:59 PM): (the Pheonix?)
Idran1701 (10:34:02 PM): (Yep. :O)
Besyanteo (10:34:14 PM): *he nudges Karl*
SongstressEnlil (10:34:23 PM): (Does that voice come to Karl, too?)
Idran1701 (10:34:28 PM): *it stretches, unfurling its wings in a flash of color*
Idran1701 (10:34:56 PM): *it'd seem almost unnecessarily showy coming from anyone else...and him too, really*
Idran1701 (10:35:07 PM): *but who'll argue with a phoenix?*
Besyanteo (10:35:18 PM): (Idran)
Besyanteo (10:35:22 PM): (Question on the floor.)
Besyanteo (10:35:25 PM): (*points up*)
Idran1701 (10:35:29 PM): (Handling it in IM, yeah.)
Besyanteo (10:35:33 PM): (Yarr)
Idran1701 (10:35:34 PM): (Sorry, should have said. :O)
Idran1701 (10:35:52 PM): (Thanks, though! Appreciate it.)
Besyanteo (10:35:57 PM): (Sure)
SongstressEnlil (10:36:12 PM): *Nudged, and groans*
SongstressEnlil (10:36:27 PM): *Turns away from Guy*
Besyanteo (10:37:00 PM): *goes down to his feet. What's his footwear?*
Idran1701 (10:37:02 PM): *finishing its stretch, it glances across the gathered group* T: Let me know when you've readied yourselves for the day.
SongstressEnlil (10:37:18 PM): *Some rather stout boots*
Besyanteo (10:37:32 PM): *He tries to steal one of them*
Besyanteo (10:37:37 PM): *with his mouth*
SongstressEnlil (10:37:47 PM): *This requires unlacing!*
Besyanteo (10:37:53 PM): *Trickery!*
Besyanteo (10:38:04 PM): *Then he settles for pulling Karl's leg*
Idran1701 (10:38:27 PM): *snerk* Wha?!...oh...right...*small frown, audible mumble* waken up by a telepathing...
SongstressEnlil (10:38:34 PM): Hnnnrg. *Sits up, eyes opened but completely unfocused.*
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:38:35 PM): *If Thorn's not too close, she's gonna do that thing where she reers back, then tries jumping into a standing position.*
Besyanteo (10:38:54 PM): *puts his foot down*
Idran1701 (10:39:00 PM): *He's not! Startles him pretty well, though; he almost jumps as high himself*
Besyanteo (10:39:08 PM): Good marning, Karl.
CGNakibe (10:39:16 PM): Is he up, Guy? *peering at Guy and Karl with amusement*
Besyanteo (10:39:28 PM): *prepared to run if Karl is an angry morning person again*
SongstressEnlil (10:39:35 PM): *"Looks" about, though it's quite likely he's not seeing anything.*
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:39:44 PM): *Smirks, kneeling and petting his head a bit* Such a fearsome thing, aren't you?
SongstressEnlil (10:39:55 PM): *He is breathing a bit heavily, though.*
CGNakibe (10:40:09 PM): IM: Rather the curious morning scene, I'd say.
Idran1701 (10:40:15 PM): ...*he growls a bit, but good-naturedly*
Besyanteo (10:40:26 PM): *he goes up to gnaw on his finger.s Not biting, mind you, which would do damage. But wet and warm and rough on sensitive fingers ahs
got to get attention*
Besyanteo (10:40:53 PM): IM: So high maintenance.
CGNakibe (10:40:58 PM): (Aramis: Hey Quick! Someone grab the shaving cream!)
Idran1701 (10:41:04 PM): *rubbing his head, he walks up to Arian* Good morning, I s'pose.
Besyanteo (10:41:07 PM): (Ha!)
CGNakibe (10:41:11 PM): (Arian: ... you're not even IN this RP. o.o;;)
SongstressEnlil (10:41:19 PM): *He definitely jerks a bit at it. But...one wonders how much he noticed. His eyes are unfocused, still.*
Besyanteo (10:41:23 PM): (Haku: IS this a bad time?)
Idran1701 (10:41:33 PM): *still seeming half-asleep himself*
Besyanteo (10:41:37 PM): *sort of a growl/grunt of surprise*
CGNakibe (10:41:45 PM): (Aramis: Says this RP is all full up or somesuch)
Besyanteo (10:41:55 PM): *he walks away* IM: Uhg, forget it.
CGNakibe (10:42:04 PM): Hey Karl!
CGNakibe (10:42:07 PM): Kaaarl. >.>
Idran1701 (10:42:29 PM): ...*yawns, looking to Karl himself* Is he always like this in the mornings?
SongstressEnlil (10:42:30 PM): *Nothing! But he is looking around. And his eyes are coming into focus slowly but steadily*
Besyanteo (10:42:55 PM): (Klaus: *grabs a sharp stuck* Up. e.e; *poke*)
CGNakibe (10:43:37 PM): As long as I've known him, yes.
Idran1701 (10:44:22 PM): Hmph. *yawn* Well...leaving soon, right? I think that's...that's what he said, isn't it?
SongstressEnlil (10:44:32 PM): *Shakes his head, and looks about, with a far more normal amount of bleariness*
SongstressEnlil (10:44:49 PM): Ah, time to go alrea-*trails off into a yawn*
CGNakibe (10:45:12 PM): We have a bit of time, if you're still sleepy.
CGNakibe (10:45:20 PM): But we DO need to get on the road sooner or later.
SongstressEnlil (10:45:53 PM): Sooner, I suppose. *Starts to get up, and gather his things*
Besyanteo (10:46:33 PM): (Alt-KArl: Later. *sleeps for another 5 hours*)
Idran1701 (10:46:41 PM): T: Road? *amusement* As you'll be travelling, you'll hardly need a road.
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:47:14 PM): *Hears this!?*
Idran1701 (10:47:37 PM): (I'll say yes, for the sake of ease of stuff!)
CGNakibe (10:48:00 PM): (*gasp* No! Not the stuff!)
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:48:00 PM): WOah, waoh.
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:48:05 PM): What's that supposed to mean?
Idran1701 (10:48:19 PM): T: If you all are ready, I can show you.
SongstressEnlil (10:48:29 PM): Means he's gonna gate us, Lil.
Besyanteo (10:48:38 PM): (Phoenix: Mmmm... freash baked dead, right on my doorstep)
Besyanteo (10:48:46 PM): (15 points for geting the reference)
Idran1701 (10:48:46 PM): T: Not quite that either.
SongstressEnlil (10:48:55 PM): *Hops off the boulder he was sitting upon and puts his bolts away.*
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:49:17 PM): (Phoenix: Hold it!)
SongstressEnlil (10:49:24 PM): *Finishes gathering up his things, and puts on his hat.*
Idran1701 (10:49:24 PM): T: It should be tight...but I think you all shall manage.
Besyanteo (10:49:25 PM): (h3h)
SongstressEnlil (10:49:42 PM): (Are we still detecting lies!?)
Besyanteo (10:49:44 PM): (... I never noticed 3 and e are right next to one another before.)
Idran1701 (10:49:46 PM): (You are!)
Idran1701 (10:50:04 PM): (But I don't think anyone's found out yet.)
Besyanteo (10:50:07 PM): *sits*
Besyanteo (10:50:11 PM): On your back?
Idran1701 (10:50:24 PM): T: Indeed.
Besyanteo (10:50:33 PM): ... I think...
Besyanteo (10:50:46 PM): I will stay here. I can not hold on.
SongstressEnlil (10:51:04 PM): Oughta be a ride an' a half, eh?
Besyanteo (10:51:15 PM): *his ears are flattened, belatedly*
Idran1701 (10:51:16 PM): T: They cannot hold you for the trip?
SongstressEnlil (10:51:16 PM): Perhaps he can carry you, Guy?
Idran1701 (10:51:33 PM): T: ...Perhaps...it would be less comfortable, but I believe I could manage that, yes.
Besyanteo (10:51:54 PM): *his fur fluffs up*
Idran1701 (10:51:57 PM): (Phoenix: But you'll have to catch the fruit on the way or I'll take you right back here.)
Besyanteo (10:52:01 PM): I... ok.
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:52:09 PM): ...This is the worst idea ever.
Besyanteo (10:52:19 PM): IM: Thank you!
CGNakibe (10:52:29 PM): (I just had a thought.)
CGNakibe (10:52:51 PM): (Bes, remember that D&D thing you ran with Spleen and his friend)
Besyanteo (10:52:59 PM): (...eh?)
SongstressEnlil (10:53:00 PM): IM: I wonder how comfortable this will be?
CGNakibe (10:53:03 PM): (Tamuron: *Rides Guy into battle* EHEHEHEHEH!)
Besyanteo (10:53:03 PM): (Sorta)
Besyanteo (10:53:08 PM): (The dragon?)
CGNakibe (10:53:09 PM): (Guy: GET THIS KOBOLD OFF ME)
Besyanteo (10:53:17 PM): (.... wtf? XD)
Idran1701 (10:53:33 PM): *stands up onto Lil, whining a bit*
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:54:12 PM): Even Thorn doesn't like it.
SongstressEnlil (10:54:45 PM): IM: Well, you are welcome to stay.
Idran1701 (10:54:57 PM): T: It is merely an offer. I guarantee you all safety during the trip, however.
Idran1701 (10:55:08 PM): T: *amusement* Not once have I lost a passenger.
CGNakibe (10:55:14 PM): *nods* Good to know.
Besyanteo (10:55:26 PM): IM: *mental iamges of falling off and miscasting his gliding spell*
CGNakibe (10:56:37 PM): IM: its reassuring.. although that still makes me wonder how many passengers he's had over the years...
Idran1701 (10:56:39 PM): *looks to Lil* T: Is that enough of an assurance for you?
Besyanteo (10:57:07 PM): (Lil: Do you have insurance?!(
SongstressEnlil (10:57:26 PM): Eh, it ain't the most daft thing any of us have done, I'll wager.
Idran1701 (10:57:29 PM): (Phoenix: Yes, but it doesn't cover acts of Powers.)
Idran1701 (10:57:36 PM): (Zeus: Hot diggity!)
TheWaiChibiAngel (10:57:47 PM): *Looks back down* How about it, Thorn?
Besyanteo (10:57:58 PM): (XD)
Idran1701 (10:58:08 PM): *still standing on Lil, looking up to her inquisitively*
Besyanteo (10:58:28 PM): =She wants to know if you'll let the big bird carry you.=
Besyanteo (10:58:43 PM): =She's coming too, if we go.=
Idran1701 (10:58:49 PM): =...Okay.=
Idran1701 (10:58:58 PM): *man, wolftalk is weird*
Besyanteo (10:59:02 PM): He says he will go.
Besyanteo (11:00:31 PM): (Lil: Traitor!)
Idran1701 (11:00:46 PM): *sits down, making himself somewhat flat and low enough to climb upon*
TheWaiChibiAngel (11:00:49 PM): (How big is Thorn again?)
Idran1701 (11:00:58 PM): (About the size of a Jack Russell or so.)
TheWaiChibiAngel (11:01:17 PM): (Unfamiliar with the size :( )
SongstressEnlil (11:01:22 PM): *Makes to climb onto the Phoenix's back. Front rows are fun!*
SongstressEnlil (11:01:30 PM): (My dog's a Jack Russell, Shini)
Idran1701 (11:01:32 PM): (About a foot and a half, maybe 2 feet long, I think.)
TheWaiChibiAngel (11:01:42 PM): (Hah.)
TheWaiChibiAngel (11:01:44 PM): (Well then.)
Besyanteo (11:01:47 PM): ((back in a sec)
TheWaiChibiAngel (11:01:47 PM): Alright then.
SongstressEnlil (11:01:53 PM): (And mine is a large one)
TheWaiChibiAngel (11:02:14 PM): Come on, fearless beast. *Scoops Thorn up* ...But let's not make this a habit. I've got an image, you know.
Besyanteo (11:02:55 PM): (back)
Idran1701 (11:03:01 PM): *he clings to her a bit with his claws, watching the phoenix now*
Idran1701 (11:03:45 PM): (And I assume everyone but Guy gets on? :O)
Idran1701 (11:04:00 PM): (Last call for stragglers!)
Besyanteo (11:04:21 PM): (Arain: *misses thie flight, has to reschedule for a month from now*)
CGNakibe (11:04:28 PM): *All aboard the Flying Birdie*
SongstressEnlil (11:04:34 PM): *Tries to be one of the last ones on*
CGNakibe (11:04:47 PM): (Arian: What do you MEAN the flight was cancelled due to weather?!? >.<)
TheWaiChibiAngel (11:04:47 PM): *Gets on!*
SongstressEnlil (11:05:10 PM): *Takes off his hat, and holds it on his lap*
Besyanteo (11:05:10 PM): (Pheonix: I will so eat you.)
Idran1701 (11:05:37 PM): *With everyone settled in, the phoenix begins flapping, slowly lifting up from the ground. It makes a small swoop, gently and harmlessly
picking Guy up in its talons, before beginning its ascent into the skies of Elysium*
Besyanteo (11:06:19 PM): *He whines as they leave the ground behind*
Idran1701 (11:06:55 PM): *The ground beneath them begins moving more quickly...the river Oceanus passes beneath them, what looks to be Riverside...even the
portal back to Sigil, for the sharp-eyed among them.*
SongstressEnlil (11:06:58 PM): (Guy: At least I don't have to spam reduce this time)
Idran1701 (11:07:07 PM): (Wis/Intuition checks for everyone watching the ground.)
SongstressEnlil (11:07:15 PM): (Guy: Or maybe... *Casts it on Lilium and Ducim*)
OnlineHost (11:07:25 PM): SongstressEnlil rolled 1 20-sided die: 2
Idran1701 (11:07:36 PM): (Which one, Pervy? :O)
CGNakibe (11:07:39 PM): (It was dwhat, Idran?)
SongstressEnlil (11:07:47 PM): (Sorry, that was Karl)
OnlineHost (11:07:50 PM): CGNakibe rolled 1 20-sided die: 8
SongstressEnlil (11:08:03 PM): (I'll say Ducim can't see from his current vantage point)
Idran1701 (11:08:08 PM): (*nod*)
OnlineHost (11:08:14 PM): Besyanteo rolled 1 20-sided die: 19
Besyanteo (11:08:19 PM): (HA HA FAIL)
Besyanteo (11:08:21 PM): (TOO SCARED)
Idran1701 (11:08:25 PM): (:D!)
OnlineHost (11:09:13 PM): TheWaiChibiAngel rolled 1 20-sided die: 15
TheWaiChibiAngel (11:09:19 PM): (SOMEONE ELSE WILL CALCULATE I AM TOO TIRED)
CGNakibe (11:09:34 PM): (Arian actually has bravery, yay! Or something)
Idran1701 (11:09:38 PM): (LIL SEES NOTHINK)
Idran1701 (11:10:54 PM): *Soon, the ground seems to fade away, as everything around them gets distinctly...silverier*
SongstressEnlil (11:11:21 PM): *Frowns toward the ground, until its no longer there*
Idran1701 (11:11:23 PM): *These surroundings may be familiar for some of the party; the phoenix appears to have flown into the Astral Plane*
Besyanteo (11:11:48 PM): (fun fact:)
Besyanteo (11:11:54 PM): (in 3.5, we'd die in here)
Besyanteo (11:11:58 PM): (No air)
Idran1701 (11:12:02 PM): (!)
Idran1701 (11:12:06 PM): (In 2e there's also no air.)
Idran1701 (11:12:10 PM): (But no breathing as well. :D)
Besyanteo (11:12:15 PM): (Heh.)
SongstressEnlil (11:12:41 PM): (Ah, cosmogeny changes)
Idran1701 (11:13:06 PM): *The flight continues, and soon, the silver void seems to itself fade, with a new land below them.*
CGNakibe (11:13:09 PM): (As a result you don't stay in the Astral plane at all if possible in 3e)
Idran1701 (11:13:23 PM): *To one side, an infinite pillar erupts upwards from the ground, and despite its eternal height, they still somehow catch a glimpse some
sort of ring-like structure at its peak.*
Idran1701 (11:13:31 PM): **glimpse of*
Besyanteo (11:13:35 PM): (There's also a storm there or something? This would beall sorts of annoying. Whee!)
Besyanteo (11:14:03 PM): (also: HI SIGIL!)
SongstressEnlil (11:14:07 PM): (Good ole psychic wind? They have that in 2e. It's like weather)
Idran1701 (11:14:31 PM): (There's some sort of astral storm, kind of like a psychic hurricane, in 2e too, but I forget the exact name.)
Besyanteo (11:14:34 PM): (in 3e it was described to me as being the reason people can't safely gate across it)
Idran1701 (11:14:35 PM): (It might actually be astral storm.)
SongstressEnlil (11:14:42 PM): *Looks toward it.* Hm. Intriguing.
Idran1701 (11:14:54 PM): T: Xaos is not far!
Idran1701 (11:15:06 PM): *No, you don't know why it's shouting telepathically. :O*
SongstressEnlil (11:15:20 PM): Looks better from th' outside, cutters?
Besyanteo (11:15:22 PM): (Becasue it can? =D)
SongstressEnlil (11:15:29 PM): (We're heavy =[)
CGNakibe (11:15:31 PM): IM: Strange..... what's that pillar doing here?
CGNakibe (11:15:40 PM): IM: ... wait. Am I breathing? o.o;;
TheWaiChibiAngel (11:15:44 PM): We can hear you fine, no need to yell!
Idran1701 (11:15:54 PM): (You're breathing here, Shaun. Just back on the Astral you weren't.)
Idran1701 (11:16:01 PM): (Slight confusion, sorry. :O)
CGNakibe (11:16:06 PM): IM: Ah... there... *inhale!*
Idran1701 (11:16:21 PM): *The phoenix seems to begin a descent, and below, indeed, you can just make out what appears to be a town.*
Idran1701 (11:16:45 PM): *The realm away from that pillar and past the town looks...cloudy, somehow, almost out of focus, but between the two, all sorts of terrain
can be seen.*
Idran1701 (11:17:14 PM): *Rivers, lakes, forests, deserts, and with what almost looks like actual rhyme and reason; it's almost like home here*
Besyanteo (11:17:52 PM): (Prime between Planes?)
SongstressEnlil (11:18:02 PM): IM: That can't be the Prime, can it?
Idran1701 (11:18:15 PM): (Not exactly; the Outlands, which is about as close as you can get in the Outer.)
Idran1701 (11:18:33 PM): (Even in the Beastlands, different terrains are kind of...helter-skelter next to each other.)
SongstressEnlil (11:18:36 PM): IM: No, surely not. It wouldn't be in this sort of shape.
CGNakibe (11:18:44 PM): IM: Are we... home? It DOES look like home...
Besyanteo (11:19:01 PM): IM: ... Weird looking. IT's all... spread out.
Idran1701 (11:19:12 PM): *the town below seems to be growing larger, and the phoenix begins slowing its descent, flapping its wings and buffeting Guy a bit with a
nice breeze*
Besyanteo (11:19:38 PM): *suddenly, all his fur points down!*
Idran1701 (11:19:58 PM): *before long, it begins to hover close to the earth, letting just enough slack in its grip for Guy to hop out safely*
Besyanteo (11:20:05 PM): *hedoes!*
Idran1701 (11:20:13 PM): *and the phoenix lands!*
Besyanteo (11:21:18 PM): *isa comical, blow dried sight! Fure goes every which way from high speed winds*
Idran1701 (11:21:37 PM): T: I hope the trip was enjoyable?
CGNakibe (11:21:45 PM): (Thank you for taking Phoenix air. We hope you all enjoyed the flight)
CGNakibe (11:21:51 PM): (Karl: Where's my peanuts!)
CGNakibe (11:22:04 PM): (Phoenix: I ate them. Got a problem with that? >.>)
Idran1701 (11:22:04 PM): (Guy: Stuck in my fur! Get a better grip next time! >: )
CGNakibe (11:22:21 PM): (I think Idran's is bettar, yaes)
Besyanteo (11:22:26 PM): *heshakes out. Repeatedly. Someone should invent a camcorder*
Idran1701 (11:22:47 PM): *Thorn grips Lil a bit more tightly, but he doesn't seem to be quite as nervous as she might expect. He's sure yipping a lot, though.*
CGNakibe (11:22:53 PM): *chuckles, suddenly wishing he had thought to work on a memory stone*
SongstressEnlil (11:22:58 PM): Certainly not the hassel that horseback is. *Disembarked!*
TheWaiChibiAngel (11:23:20 PM): Oh come on.
Idran1701 (11:23:28 PM): =...and we were in the air! And the ground was far, but we were in the air! That was something I liked! We were going fast!=
Besyanteo (11:23:37 PM): ...
TheWaiChibiAngel (11:23:45 PM): What are you, a hellhound or a weiner dog?
CGNakibe (11:23:51 PM): Heh. Not many people can say they flew to the next plane over.
CGNakibe (11:23:54 PM): (*snickers*)
Besyanteo (11:23:55 PM): Atlerast HE liked it
Besyanteo (11:23:57 PM): *shake!*
SongstressEnlil (11:24:02 PM): *Just slides down, and dusts himself off*
TheWaiChibiAngel (11:24:06 PM): Huh?
Besyanteo (11:24:15 PM): ... He won't shut up about flying
Besyanteo (11:24:32 PM): *sounds irritated!*
CGNakibe (11:24:33 PM): *makes his way off of the Phoenix, making sure not to ruffle too many feathers*
Besyanteo (11:24:52 PM): Pups... *huffs*
CGNakibe (11:24:54 PM): (Guy: And whose bright idea was it to put me back in Coach again? e.e)
Idran1701 (11:25:26 PM): *to the first one to claim it, the phoenix presents what looks to be an amulet from...somewhere, holding it in its beak*
SongstressEnlil (11:25:39 PM): Wait'll he gets a peak at the barmy pit in Xaos, then.
SongstressEnlil (11:25:45 PM): *Amulet get!*
Idran1701 (11:25:48 PM): T: You may use this to summon me when you've finished your search.
Besyanteo (11:25:50 PM): (Pheonix: Now watch me pull it from Ducim's ear!)
Besyanteo (11:26:08 PM): (Ducim: Hah, what are we, ki- OW GODS MY EAR GETITOUT AHHHHG)
Idran1701 (11:26:18 PM): (Hee. :D)
TheWaiChibiAngel (11:26:40 PM): ...Oh.
TheWaiChibiAngel (11:26:41 PM): Him.
SongstressEnlil (11:26:49 PM): (Ducim: *Spends a month in the Bleaker's care.*)
Idran1701 (11:27:06 PM): *still yipping, and squirming quite a bit in Lil's arms*
Besyanteo (11:27:43 PM): *his ears flatten and he stalks off. Just a dozen feet or so*
SongstressEnlil (11:27:47 PM): IM: I wonder how much it would cost for our surgical fiend to give him wings?
Idran1701 (11:27:56 PM): (...Oh, man.)
Besyanteo (11:28:01 PM): (Guy: I will eat you.)
SongstressEnlil (11:28:02 PM): *Puts on the amulet* Shall we be off, then?
CGNakibe (11:28:08 PM): IM: I wonder what that guy was looking at us for....
CGNakibe (11:28:13 PM): IM: Hm. Ah, well. Not important.
TheWaiChibiAngel (11:28:22 PM): *Puts Him down.*
Idran1701 (11:29:09 PM): *he starts to run over to Guy, before catching sight of his general demeanor and skidding to a halt*
Besyanteo (11:29:23 PM): *Atleast he's not glaring right at Thorn!*
Idran1701 (11:29:40 PM): ...=What is wrong? We were in the air, and we were moving fast! Didn't you think it was good?=
Besyanteo (11:30:16 PM): =... I do not like flying.=
SongstressEnlil (11:30:22 PM): *Makes to estimate the path they'll have to take to Xaos.*
Idran1701 (11:30:25 PM): =...Oh.=
Idran1701 (11:30:38 PM): *it's a pretty short trip; he can just see it now*
Idran1701 (11:30:43 PM): *not even half an hour, likely*
CGNakibe (11:30:47 PM): So, which way are we supposed to be going again?
Besyanteo (11:30:47 PM): =That doesn't have to stop you from liking it. ... I jsut don't.=
Idran1701 (11:31:06 PM): *and meanwhile, the phoenix lifts off, flying into the sky again* T: When we next meet!
Idran1701 (11:31:21 PM): =...All right.=
Idran1701 (11:31:42 PM): *and he walks back to Lil*
SongstressEnlil (11:32:17 PM): Oy, you lot know what a slaadi is?
Besyanteo (11:32:30 PM): (does he?)
CGNakibe (11:32:31 PM): Can't say that I've heard the term before.
Idran1701 (11:32:41 PM): (Hmm. Gimme an Int/Knowledge check.)
SongstressEnlil (11:32:47 PM): Big, colorful, frog-lookin' berk.
OnlineHost (11:32:53 PM): Besyanteo rolled 1 20-sided die: 4
Besyanteo (11:32:57 PM): (he does)
SongstressEnlil (11:33:01 PM): Watch out fer 'em, they come from Limbo.
Idran1701 (11:33:05 PM): (And Shini's starting to crash, so he's going to head off for the night. Gonna do a soft writeout for Lil here, so it's easier to get her back
in on Thursday.)
Besyanteo (11:33:06 PM): (to some degree anyway!)
SongstressEnlil (11:33:20 PM): All y' can trust 'em t' do is bite yer head off.
Besyanteo (11:33:48 PM): *he growls at their mention*
SongstressEnlil (11:34:11 PM): Not mean 'bout it like fiends are, mind. But they'll do it all th' same. 'Less they don't twig t' the thought at th' moment.
Besyanteo (11:34:22 PM): I know them.
SongstressEnlil (11:34:50 PM): Figured ye would, Guy.
SongstressEnlil (11:34:58 PM): *Simply listens*
CGNakibe (11:34:59 PM): Not like I haven't seen enough unfriendly things in the planes already.
Besyanteo (11:35:22 PM): Four of them would be happy, trying to eat all of us at one time.
SongstressEnlil (11:35:32 PM): Aye, if what I hear 'bout Baator's true. Just keep outta their way if y' see 'em.
Besyanteo (11:35:35 PM): Might be able to.
Besyanteo (11:36:05 PM): Claws on their hands, blue skin. They look like...
CGNakibe (11:36:06 PM): Right.
Besyanteo (11:36:11 PM): ... evil frogs. on man legs.
CGNakibe (11:36:52 PM): ... now there is a very frightening image.
Idran1701 (11:37:01 PM): ...Y...yes, quite.
SongstressEnlil (11:37:03 PM): Dunno about Evil. Limbo don't twig to it.
Besyanteo (11:37:36 PM): (Blarg)
(11:37:45 PM) TheWaiChibiAngel has left the room.
Idran1701 (11:38:01 PM): ...Well...don't think we should let that stop us, eh?
SongstressEnlil (11:38:01 PM): Mind you, when you're on the takin' end, it dun matter so much.
SongstressEnlil (11:38:18 PM): Course not, but bein' clueless never saved nobody.
Idran1701 (11:38:45 PM): ...True enough, I suppose, heh.
Idran1701 (11:39:00 PM): ...Should we start moving then? That's...that's it there, yes?
SongstressEnlil (11:39:06 PM): (AND THAT WILL GO ON HIS TOMBSTONE)
SongstressEnlil (11:39:30 PM): (And a Chaosman will carve out "Sucker" below it)
Idran1701 (11:39:34 PM): (NEXT TO THE PEPPERONI AND CHEESE?)
SongstressEnlil (11:39:45 PM): (PUNCHA PUNCHA PUNCHA!)
SongstressEnlil (11:39:55 PM): *Xaos-ward!*
Idran1701 (11:39:55 PM): (ANYWAY)
Idran1701 (11:40:09 PM): *aXos-ward!*
SongstressEnlil (11:40:12 PM): *Likewise, having fallen silent and into thought again*
Besyanteo (11:40:41 PM): *walkwalk*
CGNakibe (11:40:57 PM): IM: Be on the lookout for anything, okay?
Idran1701 (11:41:14 PM): *Soon, the town comes into sight...looks to be little more than a small farming village, really. Nothing like the gate-towns most of 'em have seen on
their travels so far.*
Idran1701 (11:42:01 PM): *Folks going about...their...well, if you can call it business. Some of them making cat-calls (literally) towards empty lots, some of them painting
murals, some painting over those murals with a fresh coat of beige*
Idran1701 (11:42:45 PM): *...Strangest sight so far, there's a modron there walking about, stacking debris into various regular piles around the outskirts of the city, only for a
group of humans to knock them over as he finishes.*
Idran1701 (11:43:11 PM): (Tridrone, specifically; pyramid on three legs. Arian'd be familiar with that sort personally.)
SongstressEnlil (11:43:18 PM): *Shakes his head*
Besyanteo (11:43:29 PM): (HA ha, Modrom)
Besyanteo (11:43:34 PM): (Modron* dammit)
SongstressEnlil (11:43:37 PM): IM: I swear I've seen this in a nightmare...
Besyanteo (11:44:00 PM): *Seems most interested in the Modron*
Besyanteo (11:44:14 PM): (Guy: CAlculate Pi to completreion!)
CGNakibe (11:44:21 PM): ... that's.... okay... should I even ask?
SongstressEnlil (11:44:28 PM): (Modron: I ain't no Moigno!)
Idran1701 (11:44:34 PM): *One of the rubble pushers walks up to Arian, giving him a questioning look* Hey, is this Xaos?
Besyanteo (11:44:35 PM): (Modron: Fuck you. 3.14--- *continues for a year befor getting bored*)
Besyanteo (11:44:45 PM): (Also: Moigno?)
SongstressEnlil (11:44:51 PM): *Sighs*
Idran1701 (11:44:55 PM): (Sentient mathematical equation.)
Idran1701 (11:44:58 PM): (:D)
Besyanteo (11:45:08 PM): (I thought that's what aModron was)
SongstressEnlil (11:45:20 PM): (No, a Modron's a metal guy)
Idran1701 (11:45:23 PM): (Yeah. A modron's a clockwork cyborg, basically.)
Besyanteo (11:45:25 PM): (Yarr!)
SongstressEnlil (11:45:32 PM): (A Moigno is math that is alive)
Idran1701 (11:45:38 PM): (I told you about Moignos once before, though; think that's where the confusion came in.)
Besyanteo (11:45:44 PM): (Whee)
Idran1701 (11:45:52 PM): *he seems to be waiting for an answer!*
SongstressEnlil (11:46:48 PM): No, this is Tradegate.
Idran1701 (11:47:08 PM): O' course it is! Where else'd it be, berk?
SongstressEnlil (11:47:16 PM): Exactly.
Idran1701 (11:47:20 PM): That's th' Master Merchant or wha'ever right there!
Idran1701 (11:47:25 PM): *points towards the modron*
SongstressEnlil (11:47:28 PM): (That trigger any detect lies?)
Idran1701 (11:47:34 PM): (It did!)
SongstressEnlil (11:47:38 PM): No, that's the gatekeeper.
Besyanteo (11:47:38 PM): *watching the Modron with interest!*
Idran1701 (11:47:41 PM): (Amongst the entire party, both Karl and the guy.)
CGNakibe (11:47:41 PM): Weirdness...
SongstressEnlil (11:48:09 PM): (What's it like?)
Besyanteo (11:48:11 PM): *Earlfick*
Idran1701 (11:48:12 PM): (The entire party somehow gets a pressing sensation at both comments that informs them "UNTRUTH")
Idran1701 (11:48:23 PM): (Mental deal, without words but communicating a fact.)
Besyanteo (11:48:25 PM): ... IM: Whaever.
SongstressEnlil (11:48:28 PM): IM: Hmmm.
Besyanteo (11:48:31 PM): *watches!*
Idran1701 (11:48:32 PM): (Except for Karl, who only got it at the guy's comment.)
Idran1701 (11:48:51 PM): *staring at Guy* Ah, go' yerself a kitty, I see! Mebbe I've got some fish for it somewhere!
Besyanteo (11:49:20 PM): Do it and I... *he stops short ,and considers*
Besyanteo (11:49:31 PM): ... -will not- bite you.
Besyanteo (11:49:39 PM): *... actually, nthat's not a lie*
Besyanteo (11:49:53 PM): *But he wants the other guy to think... you get it, right?*
Idran1701 (11:50:19 PM): A cat that talks! Now _that's_ insanity!
SongstressEnlil (11:50:25 PM): Let's just go find someplace that'll makes breakfast without glass'r some screed in it, alright?
Idran1701 (11:50:32 PM): *chortling...and chortling...doesn't seem to be stopping anytime soon*
Idran1701 (11:50:45 PM): *seems to have forgotten about the party too*
CGNakibe (11:50:46 PM): ... Um.. okay.
Besyanteo (11:50:48 PM): (*checks to see if Guy is Chaotic*)
SongstressEnlil (11:51:02 PM): IM: Well, it could be worse.
Besyanteo (11:51:18 PM): **ignore!*
Besyanteo (11:51:40 PM): I do not need food today. *to Ducim*
Idran1701 (11:51:48 PM): *he does the same, as that junk-shoving group comes by...and shoves him over*
Idran1701 (11:52:06 PM): *and continues on after the modron afterwards*
SongstressEnlil (11:52:10 PM): *Walks in* Most've us do.
SongstressEnlil (11:52:27 PM): *mutters* Soddin' Xaos.
Besyanteo (11:52:28 PM): *he follows* That is not why I told you, though.
SongstressEnlil (11:52:38 PM): Hm?
Besyanteo (11:52:48 PM): I just do not wish money to be wasted, buyying me food.
SongstressEnlil (11:53:03 PM): Ah. Good on ye, cutter.
CGNakibe (11:53:03 PM): Eh. Wasted? Why so?
CGNakibe (11:53:26 PM): IM: This place is too strange by half...
Besyanteo (11:53:27 PM): A spell. I will not need to eat for a day or two.
SongstressEnlil (11:53:28 PM): He knows a spell to repel hunger. It is quite useful, if a tad odd-feeling.
CGNakibe (11:53:32 PM): Ah.
CGNakibe (11:53:38 PM): I do believe I have heard of this.
Besyanteo (11:53:44 PM): *nods greatefully to the more articulate Karl*
CGNakibe (11:53:46 PM): Its an excellent spell, really.
SongstressEnlil (11:54:36 PM): *Into oasX they go?!*
Idran1701 (11:54:38 PM): *the party heads through the jumble of buildings, near-buildings, and post-buildings that make up Xeos, looking for a place that might serve a
servicable meal.*
CGNakibe (11:54:49 PM): (That name changes every time its said. I like that.)
Idran1701 (11:55:01 PM): (Heh.)
SongstressEnlil (11:55:09 PM): (Pronounce: Dan)
SongstressEnlil (11:55:15 PM): ((*pronounced)
Idran1701 (11:55:34 PM): *avoiding the various crazies and wackjobs, and the lesser crazies and minor wackjobs, they soon catch the scent of actual food not far from here.*
Idran1701 (11:55:43 PM): *With luck, it won't be part of a trash heap.*
SongstressEnlil (11:55:55 PM): *Heads toward it*
Besyanteo (11:56:03 PM): *he follows*
Besyanteo (11:56:16 PM): ... though,this is Xaos.
Besyanteo (11:56:24 PM): They might pay you to eat.
CGNakibe (11:56:39 PM): Its already quite strange as far as I'm noticing.
CGNakibe (11:56:48 PM): Althoug here's an excellent question.
SongstressEnlil (11:56:49 PM): Could do. *Nods toward Guy*
CGNakibe (11:56:54 PM): What WOULD they pay you to eat?
CGNakibe (11:56:57 PM): .... *thinks*
CGNakibe (11:57:11 PM): *suddenly starts reaching through his backpack for HIS spellbook*
SongstressEnlil (11:57:18 PM): I suspect trying to guess would be a waste of time.
Besyanteo (11:57:45 PM): .(Shaun: The materia lcomponent is food. =D)
CGNakibe (11:58:06 PM): (Wine count? >:P)
Besyanteo (11:58:13 PM): (for the drink part)
Idran1701 (11:58:14 PM): *Ahead, they see...that Guy wasn't that far off in some sense. A noble, dressed in finery that rivals even Arian's mother, seems to be serving tables
upon tables upon tables of food near the...the maybe-center of town.*
Besyanteo (11:58:17 PM): (not get sdome food)
Besyanteo (11:58:21 PM): (now*)
CGNakibe (11:58:26 PM): (....)
SongstressEnlil (11:58:27 PM): IM: I wonder how much it would annoy them if I started to lecture on maths?
Idran1701 (11:58:49 PM): Come, eat and drink, partake of my vittles!
CGNakibe (11:58:50 PM): (Excel: *pops in and declares Guy the Temporary Emergency Food Rations*)
SongstressEnlil (11:59:00 PM): Looks like a lark, that.
Besyanteo (11:59:02 PM): (Guy: *eats her*)
Besyanteo (11:59:13 PM): (Xaos: *aproves*)]
Idran1701 (11:59:27 PM): All are welcome, but for those who are not!
Idran1701 (11:59:43 PM): Who is and who is not, who knows? Who does not know is I!
SongstressEnlil (11:59:45 PM): *Looks to the group* Wanna chance it?
Besyanteo (12:00:07 AM): I will smell most things wrong with it, if they do not show plain.
CGNakibe (12:00:18 AM): Even so... I'm not entirely sure....
SongstressEnlil (12:00:21 AM): *Nods to Guy.*
CGNakibe (12:00:26 AM): I... suppose it would be worth a try. o.o;;;
SongstressEnlil (12:00:40 AM): Don't get too worried. Even barmies need good food.
SongstressEnlil (12:00:45 AM): Usually.
Besyanteo (12:01:00 AM): *goes over to check it out, with his nose!*
Idran1701 (12:01:04 AM): *some are eating, some are foodfighting, one fellow's sculpting a replica of the host out of...what looks to be mashed meat and an assortment of
rooted vegetables*
CGNakibe (12:01:53 AM): This apparently does not prevent them from enjoying it as I would were I still 8. o.o;;;
CGNakibe (12:02:00 AM): IM: ... though that's fun too sometimes. Still.
Idran1701 (12:02:02 AM): *to Guy's nose, though, it all smells authentic*
Besyanteo (12:02:16 AM): Safe.
Idran1701 (12:02:32 AM): *all manner and all courses of food seem to be present for the taking*
Besyanteo (12:02:33 AM): IM: Probably.
SongstressEnlil (12:02:38 AM): Consider it an opportunity then, my friend. *to Aramis*
Besyanteo (12:02:51 AM): (Ha ha, I fucked you up)
SongstressEnlil (12:02:59 AM): (YES!)
CGNakibe (12:03:09 AM): (HAR HAR)
SongstressEnlil (12:03:12 AM): (*Kaltz)
Besyanteo (12:03:28 AM): (Now you're just being a dork. =P)
CGNakibe (12:03:39 AM): I... suppose. o.o
SongstressEnlil (12:03:52 AM): *Makes for the place, as he hungers!*
CGNakibe (12:03:53 AM): *goes forth to...err.. play with his food*
CGNakibe (12:03:59 AM): (Baby Arian hungers...)
SongstressEnlil (12:04:14 AM): *Follows along.*
Besyanteo (12:05:20 AM): *Wais by hem patiently*
Idran1701 (12:05:30 AM): *The group follows along, passing by all number of feasters. A woman walks up, pressing some sort of bread into Karl's hands.* You must try this,
it's delicious!
Idran1701 (12:05:35 AM): *And leaves before a reply can be made.*
SongstressEnlil (12:05:46 AM): Wel- ...Oh.
SongstressEnlil (12:05:50 AM): *Examines it!*
Idran1701 (12:06:00 AM): *Some sort of spice bread!*
Besyanteo (12:06:12 AM): (THIS IS DELICIOUS CAKE, YOU MUST EAT IT)
Besyanteo (12:06:16 AM): ( EAT EAT EAT EAT)
Idran1701 (12:06:24 AM): *Approaching from the other end is a dwarf, looking fairly concerned, and with a symbol embroidered in his vest - a symbol familiar to Ducim.*
CGNakibe (12:06:36 AM): *takes ahold of some of the mashed potatoes, yes*
SongstressEnlil (12:06:38 AM): *Breaks it, holds some down to Guy's level*
SongstressEnlil (12:06:42 AM): Safe?
Besyanteo (12:06:46 AM): *Sniffs*
Idran1701 (12:06:53 AM): *it smells of spiced honey*
Idran1701 (12:07:02 AM): *tickles his nose a bit*
SongstressEnlil (12:07:03 AM): Well sod me. *Shuffles off toward the dwarf*
Besyanteo (12:07:03 AM): *Do you like sweet bread?
CGNakibe (12:07:04 AM): (My BEES will BLOT OUT THE SUN)
Besyanteo (12:07:10 AM): (minus the aserisk)
Besyanteo (12:07:22 AM): IT is safe.
Besyanteo (12:07:27 AM): ...
SongstressEnlil (12:07:30 AM): Thank you! *samples*
Besyanteo (12:07:32 AM): *turns his head and sneezes*
CGNakibe (12:07:40 AM): Bless you. <.<
Idran1701 (12:07:44 AM): *dwarf!* ...Eh? Funny lookin' brother, you are.
Idran1701 (12:08:20 AM): *the bread is quiet tasty!*
Besyanteo (12:08:35 AM): (It's the knd of bread you can eat ina alibrary)
Idran1701 (12:08:37 AM): *An odd honey, the spice seems to be part of its own flavor, not added later.*
Besyanteo (12:08:59 AM): (*hypocrite*)
SongstressEnlil (12:09:01 AM): Planes touch us all in it own ways, fellow traveler.
CGNakibe (12:09:07 AM): How about these potatoes, Guy?
SongstressEnlil (12:09:20 AM): This is rather nice.
Besyanteo (12:09:27 AM): I smell nothing foul in this place. Eat freely.
Idran1701 (12:09:38 AM): Suppose they do, suppose they do. So, what brings you to these parts, cutter?
CGNakibe (12:09:40 AM): Excellent.
Besyanteo (12:09:56 AM): (Arian: *gets a mouth full of motor oil*)
CGNakibe (12:09:57 AM): *and thus Arian begins to dine. Always remembering the golden rule of dining*
CGNakibe (12:10:02 AM): *... Pinky up! :D!*
Idran1701 (12:10:06 AM): Doesn't seem like the place for many of our number. Not that I'm not thankful, course.
Idran1701 (12:10:23 AM): (Wis/Int check for Arian. :O)
OnlineHost (12:10:32 AM): CGNakibe rolled 1 20-sided die: 16
CGNakibe (12:10:37 AM): (I know nothink!)
SongstressEnlil (12:10:38 AM): Toutin' for those Primes yonder. Got a friend in a small jam. Doin' a bit f' meself, too.
SongstressEnlil (12:10:58 AM): Y'self?
Idran1701 (12:11:45 AM): Ah, I know a bit about jams. Got a nasty one not far from here. Was lookin' for a bit of help from a friendly sort. Didn't realize just where I'd
traveled to, I s'pose. *frowns*
Idran1701 (12:11:54 AM): *delicious potatoes*
Idran1701 (12:11:59 AM): *with the skins left in!*
SongstressEnlil (12:12:01 AM): *Goes to find a nice place to sit*
SongstressEnlil (12:12:25 AM): What's th' trouble?
Idran1701 (12:13:06 AM): *follows suit, looking around the place, taking some fruit to eat* So...er...how're we going to go about this...this search, anyway?
SongstressEnlil (12:13:46 AM): I expect we should ask someone. Failing that...well... I suppose we can look for ourselves.
CGNakibe (12:13:59 AM): Hm. Now this is pretty good stuff.
CGNakibe (12:14:11 AM): IM: Although.. just in case... perhaps I SHOULD use that spell...
Idran1701 (12:14:23 AM): Got a friend trapped in a cave-in not too far from here. One-way portal into some old tunnels...when I say old, cutter, I mean _pikin' old_.
CGNakibe (12:14:38 AM): (And thus does Arian waste time keeping himself from being hungry for a bit....)
Idran1701 (12:14:50 AM): I got out, he didn't. Still alive in there, though, if th' tappin' was any indication.
SongstressEnlil (12:15:26 AM): Soddin' hells! Get me a bloody pick!
Idran1701 (12:15:45 AM): Got an extra one waitin', just need another hand t' use it.
Idran1701 (12:16:03 AM): Sounds like a...well, a feat.
Besyanteo (12:16:05 AM): (falling asleep.)
Idran1701 (12:16:20 AM): (How long you think you can last, Bes?)
Besyanteo (12:16:34 AM): (WIll a half hour do you?)
Idran1701 (12:16:39 AM): (Sure, that's fine.)
SongstressEnlil (12:16:42 AM): Right. I'll tell them cutters.
Idran1701 (12:17:07 AM): *nods* I'll meet y' on the edge of town off thataways.
Idran1701 (12:17:12 AM): ...Maybe a bit further. *frowns*
SongstressEnlil (12:17:33 AM): *Nods to the dwarf, then walks toward Arian with some speed.* Gotta go, cutter. Dwarf stuck in a cave-in.
CGNakibe (12:17:57 AM): Eh? *gulp* Hm. Need some help?
SongstressEnlil (12:18:06 AM): An' the day you find a half decent miner with these barmies is the day I'll set fire t' me beard.
SongstressEnlil (12:18:23 AM): Naw, better not. With a cave-in, ya dun want lads wet behind the ears.
Idran1701 (12:18:29 AM): *glancing to the conversation briefly, he looks between Karl and Guy* Well...what's the first step for that? We know it's...it's a grove of plums.
Idran1701 (12:18:37 AM): ...Just...ask people about that?
SongstressEnlil (12:18:47 AM): Meet ye back at Sigil sometime if not 'ere, aye?
SongstressEnlil (12:19:11 AM): Well... I suppose that it would be best to ask for someone who wanders out into the border lands.
CGNakibe (12:19:42 AM): Alright.
Idran1701 (12:19:53 AM): *nods* Mmm...a group of explorers, maybe?
CGNakibe (12:19:54 AM): Be careful, I guess.
SongstressEnlil (12:20:09 AM): *Nods* You lot, too.
SongstressEnlil (12:20:15 AM): *And off he goes.*
SongstressEnlil (12:20:31 AM): (Pseudo-ciphers are fun)
SongstressEnlil (12:20:47 AM): If we could find one, that would be best, yes.
Idran1701 (12:20:50 AM): (Haha, no more multicharing for Pervy.)
Idran1701 (12:21:14 AM): *glances to Arian* Er...how do we find that sort, though?
CGNakibe (12:21:28 AM): That's a good question.
SongstressEnlil (12:22:04 AM): Well, the town doesn't seem too large.
CGNakibe (12:22:06 AM): Somehow I feel that asking around might not get us too many places, and yet...
SongstressEnlil (12:22:16 AM): We should be able to explore it on our own with little trouble.
CGNakibe (12:22:24 AM): Is it just me, or did you two get that odd feeling when that fellow was talking earlier?
CGNakibe (12:22:31 AM): (-that +an)
Idran1701 (12:22:40 AM): ...A bit, yes.
CGNakibe (12:22:54 AM): Curious.
SongstressEnlil (12:23:07 AM): *Nods*
Besyanteo (12:23:33 AM): *lying down, not payying attention*
Idran1701 (12:23:36 AM): It was as if I knew he was lying.
SongstressEnlil (12:23:37 AM): What sort of feeling, exactly?
Idran1701 (12:23:42 AM): (Switch those. :O)
SongstressEnlil (12:23:57 AM): Much the same.
CGNakibe (12:23:58 AM): That could be useful here, I think.
Idran1701 (12:24:04 AM): *nods*
Idran1701 (12:25:21 AM): Well, then...I guess we should just...just start asking around? Seems a funny way to go about things, but with that feeling...
Idran1701 (12:25:26 AM): *shrugs*
CGNakibe (12:25:28 AM): Perhaps if we could ask someone who was likely to know about the plums, we could get an answer from them.
SongstressEnlil (12:25:31 AM): *Munches on his bread, and looks around for something to drink.*
SongstressEnlil (12:25:37 AM): Perhaps the cook?
Idran1701 (12:25:53 AM): ...Maybe. *nods*
SongstressEnlil (12:26:45 AM): Who wants to do it, then?
CGNakibe (12:27:20 AM): Um. *heads over to the cook* Pardon me.
Idran1701 (12:27:44 AM): ...Ah! An eater and a speaker!
CGNakibe (12:27:46 AM): But would you happen to know anyplace that you could find any excellent plums around here?
Idran1701 (12:28:02 AM): You wish a plumb plum, you say?
CGNakibe (12:28:24 AM): Indeed. Or perhaps to plumb for plums.
Idran1701 (12:29:05 AM): Yes, such delicate delicacies are wonderous. But I wonder where you could look.
SongstressEnlil (12:29:33 AM): *Gets up to look for something to drink. And some butter*
Idran1701 (12:30:24 AM): *he finds some apple butter and buttermilk not far from here; will that suffice?*
CGNakibe (12:30:44 AM): How about anyone that would perhaps know where we could go, then?
Idran1701 (12:31:09 AM): Yes, yes, your travels take you perhaps to the Traveler!
SongstressEnlil (12:31:11 AM): *They'll do!*
CGNakibe (12:31:35 AM): The Traveller? o.o Where precisely could we find this person?
Idran1701 (12:32:07 AM): *chuckles* Travelling, of course! Around and about, in and out, across and through!
CGNakibe (12:32:20 AM): IM: Of course.
Idran1701 (12:32:27 AM): But seek the blue, the green!
Idran1701 (12:32:38 AM): Find the cloak and uncloak the truth!
CGNakibe (12:33:16 AM): IM: .... strange. Very strange..
CGNakibe (12:33:41 AM): O..kay... Thank you... I guess. o.o;;
Idran1701 (12:33:55 AM): Good luck and good fortune!
Idran1701 (12:34:36 AM): *any further queries to this cook? :O*
CGNakibe (12:35:48 AM): *none seem to be forthcoming...*
Idran1701 (12:36:06 AM): *then Arian is handed a scone, and the cook's attention is diverted elsewhere*
Idran1701 (12:36:13 AM): *strawberry!*
CGNakibe (12:36:47 AM): IM: That was... almost singlehandedly unhelpful. ANd yet...
Besyanteo (12:36:54 AM): (Seek thee outthe glass of milk,arian...)
Idran1701 (12:37:11 AM): (As a note, nothing he said registered as an untruth. :O)
Idran1701 (12:37:44 AM): (And for convienance' sake (and time's sake) I'll say Karl and Guy were close enough to overhear you two.)
SongstressEnlil (12:37:57 AM): IM: Well, that could have gone better.
Besyanteo (12:38:05 AM): *tail flick*
Besyanteo (12:38:14 AM): IM: We'll still find it evnetually.
CGNakibe (12:38:21 AM): That was odder than even I expected. >.>;;
Besyanteo (12:38:47 AM): (Guy: Xiex FTW)
Besyanteo (12:39:04 AM): (Karl: *Whaps witha newspaper* No demon summoning)
CGNakibe (12:39:05 AM): (Arian: I love Xexyx...)
Idran1701 (12:39:13 AM): (Heh.)
CGNakibe (12:39:21 AM): (*Xexyz)
Idran1701 (12:39:23 AM): ...Um...yes, quite.
SongstressEnlil (12:39:45 AM): Well, we have a name to follow, now.
Besyanteo (12:39:51 AM): (*listens to Weird Al sing about E-Bay*)
Besyanteo (12:40:09 AM): *tail flick*
Besyanteo (12:40:13 AM): The Traveller?
CGNakibe (12:40:24 AM): Sounds more like a title than anything.
SongstressEnlil (12:40:30 AM): It sounded true, at least.
Idran1701 (12:40:39 AM): ...Well...a starting point is better than nothing, yes?
SongstressEnlil (12:41:00 AM): Perhaps it would be best to follow the nature of this town in searching?
CGNakibe (12:41:25 AM): ... Can't do much worse, I suppose.
Idran1701 (12:41:29 AM): ...The nature of this town?
SongstressEnlil (12:41:44 AM): *Looks out toward the street and passersby*
Idran1701 (12:41:56 AM): (...He's going to pull a Monju, isn't he?)
SongstressEnlil (12:42:03 AM): ( :O)
Idran1701 (12:42:26 AM): ...*watches*
SongstressEnlil (12:42:44 AM): *What sorts of passerby do we have*
SongstressEnlil (12:42:47 AM): *?
Idran1701 (12:43:24 AM): *various sorts; men and women, painters and soldiers, humans, elves, what look like a tiefling or two, even a bariaur off in the distance*
Idran1701 (12:43:32 AM): *looking for some specific type?*
SongstressEnlil (12:44:15 AM): *At first, he was going to look for someone trustworthy. He shelves that in preference for someone who looks unlikely to stab him*
Idran1701 (12:44:46 AM): *there's a respectable fellow walking by now, satchel in hand!*
Idran1701 (12:45:04 AM): *barely scruffy, even*
Besyanteo (12:45:17 AM): (*an Assimar walks by. KArl goes to speak to him, but suddenly has his tongue stabed out by him, and worn as a head dress*)
SongstressEnlil (12:45:30 AM): *Stands and walks toward him* You there! *Breaks his bread in half* Have some tea.
Besyanteo (12:45:32 AM): (Klaus: Ifeel like Ishould be somewhere...)
SongstressEnlil (12:45:43 AM): *And offers the uneaten-upon half*
CGNakibe (12:45:44 AM): (Klaus: So much... missed... opportunity. ;_; )
Idran1701 (12:46:03 AM): (Rats: Klaus, where's our grain?! >:)
Besyanteo (12:46:12 AM): (Hee)
SongstressEnlil (12:46:24 AM): (Rat: I got mites over here! Get the brush!_
Idran1701 (12:46:35 AM): ...Oh, what a generous offer! *chuckles*
Idran1701 (12:46:49 AM): *and takes it, taking a bite* Delicious. Freshly brewed?
SongstressEnlil (12:47:13 AM): Slightly. Can you help me find a fellow called The Traveler?
Idran1701 (12:47:37 AM): The Traveler? Now why'd you want to find that fellow?
Idran1701 (12:47:49 AM): Looking to pop a squid-head?
SongstressEnlil (12:48:07 AM): We're hoping he knows something we need to know. And many things we do not need to know but ought to know.
Idran1701 (12:48:41 AM): *chuckles* Where've I heard that one before.
Idran1701 (12:48:58 AM): Well, two things you can do. Sit here and wait for him to come by; he always gets everywhere eventually, but might take a while.
SongstressEnlil (12:49:18 AM): Time is an annoying issue, I fear.
Idran1701 (12:49:21 AM): Or go hunt him down somewhere in Xaos, if you think you can find him.
Idran1701 (12:49:33 AM): Or wait by his home, for him to come back for the night.
Besyanteo (12:49:39 AM): (10 GP says that's him)
SongstressEnlil (12:49:57 AM): Ah. Where would a traveler call home?
SongstressEnlil (12:50:12 AM): (Naw. It's his first cousin)
Idran1701 (12:50:23 AM): *grins* Now you're catching on!
SongstressEnlil (12:51:11 AM): *Nods* Could you tell me where he's been today so far?
CGNakibe (12:51:24 AM): When you put it THAT way, one wonders where the traveller CAN'T be found, since that's likely where he would be next. o.o
Idran1701 (12:51:26 AM): There's a house stinking of whiskey 12 paces right, and a few hundred klips thataways.
Idran1701 (12:51:39 AM): He's next door.
Idran1701 (12:51:59 AM): When he's not elsewhere, of course.
Besyanteo (12:52:44 AM): IM: Whiskey...
SongstressEnlil (12:52:51 AM): *Nods* I think that's a little too hard for me. I'm really quite terrible at this.
Besyanteo (12:52:52 AM): IM: Familair word. Fromwhere?
CGNakibe (12:53:07 AM): Hmm.
Idran1701 (12:53:10 AM): Well, you can only get worse before you get better.
Idran1701 (12:53:16 AM): ...Or can you only get better before you get worse?
SongstressEnlil (12:53:18 AM): Why, I'd lose my head if it weren't attached; how could I hope to find anything like that?
CGNakibe (12:53:25 AM): As for yourself, where might you be headed? o.o
Besyanteo (12:53:47 AM): might it be "everywhere"?
Idran1701 (12:53:47 AM): Heads, heads, heads, is that all you folks care about?
Besyanteo (12:53:59 AM): *tail flick*
SongstressEnlil (12:54:06 AM): No. But they do bother one once in awhile.
Idran1701 (12:54:15 AM): *he grins at Guy* Ah, bright one, you are.
CGNakibe (12:54:25 AM): *nods* As I thought.
SongstressEnlil (12:54:47 AM): I've detailed you long enough, though. Enjoy your ale!
CGNakibe (12:54:58 AM): A moment, please.
Idran1701 (12:54:59 AM): Sometimes, you would be right...but not this time, I'm afraid. As I said, his home is 12 paces right, and a few hundred kils *points* thataways*.
Idran1701 (12:55:03 AM): *klips
Idran1701 (12:55:11 AM): But yes, I must be leaving. Ta!
CGNakibe (12:55:17 AM): Ah. Hm.
Idran1701 (12:55:20 AM): *and he walks off...* Klip, klip, klip, klip...
Besyanteo (12:55:24 AM): *his tail lazily runs back and forth*
CGNakibe (12:55:40 AM): *looks at Guy* Well, what do you think?
SongstressEnlil (12:55:58 AM): *Is he saying klip with each step?*
Besyanteo (12:55:59 AM): (did he lie about going "everywhere" after this?)
Idran1701 (12:56:02 AM): (Yep.)
Besyanteo (12:56:19 AM): He's lying. Atleast about being the traveler.
Besyanteo (12:56:29 AM): ... Doesn't mean he never was.
Idran1701 (12:56:30 AM): (Yep to PErvy, that is.)
CGNakibe (12:56:33 AM): (Wait. Was that... ah)
Besyanteo (12:56:39 AM): (Ah. Scratch)
Besyanteo (12:56:48 AM): (well, hold atleast)
Besyanteo (12:56:52 AM): (Was he lying?)
Idran1701 (12:57:01 AM): (Not sure what you mean, Bes, I think there was a miscommunication. Thought you were asking if "everywhere" was where the Traveler was earlier.)
SongstressEnlil (12:57:11 AM): (I assume Idran would tell us if he lied)
Besyanteo (12:57:25 AM): (Arian: "Where might you be going?")
Besyanteo (12:57:30 AM): (Guy: "Everywhere?")
Idran1701 (12:57:41 AM): (...Aha. I totally missed Arian's question. >_>)
CGNakibe (12:57:49 AM): I'm thinking we just missed our chance to ask where to find those plums.
Idran1701 (12:57:50 AM): (Or rather...wait.)
Idran1701 (12:57:59 AM): (No, I saw it, but he answered with the head thing.)
SongstressEnlil (12:58:04 AM): Hm. Point.
Idran1701 (12:58:08 AM): (I think it's getting late for me too, heh.)
Besyanteo (12:58:11 AM): (... Ahhh.)
CGNakibe (12:58:12 AM): (Question: *dodged due to high-ass AC*)
SongstressEnlil (12:58:29 AM): (Question: Is an Elephant)
Besyanteo (12:58:32 AM): Let us head...
Idran1701 (12:58:33 AM): (Heh.)
Besyanteo (12:58:44 AM): a few hundred "klips"downthe road.
CGNakibe (12:58:56 AM): Still strange.
Besyanteo (12:58:59 AM): Better than nothing.
CGNakibe (12:59:07 AM): The "klips" thing, I meant.
Besyanteo (12:59:22 AM): (it is past 30 minutes... 4 AM comes for my brain)
Idran1701 (12:59:26 AM): (Indeed.)
Idran1701 (12:59:30 AM): (Pick things up next week? :O)
Besyanteo (12:59:38 AM): (plz)
CGNakibe (12:59:40 AM): (Juicy juicy brainmeats)
Idran1701 (12:59:41 AM): (*nod*)
CGNakibe (12:59:46 AM): (Good for everyone, I think.)
Idran1701 (12:59:56 AM): (Too tired for me to figure out XP right now, I'll get to you all tomorrow.)
SongstressEnlil (12:59:57 AM): A klip is a step, I think.
SongstressEnlil (1:00:07 AM): (YOU BETTER)
Besyanteo (1:00:09 AM): (k)
Idran1701 (1:00:12 AM): (Night!)
SongstressEnlil (1:00:14 AM): (And remind me to hassel Bes, too)
Idran1701 (1:00:21 AM): (Pervy, hassle Bes.)
SongstressEnlil (1:00:22 AM): (OR YOU GO ON THE LIST)
Besyanteo (1:00:27 AM): (with bages of brussels)
Besyanteo (1:00:30 AM): (and bees)
Besyanteo (1:00:51 AM): (HUGBEES)
