(4:02:55 PM) You have just entered room "onwardstobrux."
(4:02:57 PM) Besyanteo has entered the room.
(4:02:59 PM) CGNakibe has entered the room.
CGNakibe (4:03:43 PM): (Doooomed)
CGNakibe (4:03:46 PM): (oh, wait, wrong RP)
Idran1701 (4:03:49 PM): All right. Anything before we get started?
Besyanteo (4:04:02 PM): Tuna Caserole is tasty. Especially when I make it.
Besyanteo (4:04:10 PM): That is all
Idran1701 (4:05:52 PM): Well, then. :D
Idran1701 (4:06:01 PM): <We shall begin!>
CGNakibe (4:06:29 PM): <Allergic to Nature>
Besyanteo (4:06:57 PM): <insert furry joke here>
Idran1701 (4:07:23 PM)
: The foursome has just recently arrived in Brux, Guy leading the way as they attempt to discover just what exactly happened to Roland.
Idran1701 (4:08:02 PM): After a brief encounter with a group of foxes, they are unfortunately no closer to knowing what has happened than before.
Idran1701 (4:09:12 PM): Thus, they continue walking for now, under the dim light of the moon, Noctos, and the dim shine of Selera from below the horizon.
Besyanteo (4:09:44 PM): *Guy has been doing his best not to dash off into the brush!*
Besyanteo (4:09:56 PM)
: *Because that wouldn't be nice to the hunam prey animals.*
Idran1701 (4:10:37 PM)
: *Roland continues to stalk alongside Guy, keeping a close eye out on their surroundings*
CGNakibe (4:10:54 PM): *keeping up, at least, eyes wandering as he tries to watch out for things that want to eat him*
Idran1701 (4:12:26 PM): *walking alongside Arian, glancing around every now and again*
Idran1701 (4:13:13 PM): *Guy continues his push forward, not smelling or seeing anything out of the ordinary just yet...*
Idran1701 (4:13:42 PM): *They're still a few hours from his home, the trip shouldn't be much longer for the four of them*
Besyanteo (4:14:24 PM): *paddin along. Whee.*
Idran1701 (4:14:44 PM)
: *a light breeze picks up, blowing across them, rustling through the branches of the trees surrounding them*
Idran1701 (4:14:51 PM): (d20 for both)
OnlineHost (4:15:20 PM): CGNakibe rolled 1 20-sided die: 17
OnlineHost
(4:15:29 PM): Besyanteo rolled 1 20-sided die: 16
Besyanteo (4:15:37 PM): (well, we're safe or we're boned.)
CGNakibe (4:15:47 PM)
: (Money on boned)
Idran1701 (4:17:06 PM): *They continue walking, the wind picking up a bit more strongly over the next half-hour or so; it's not merely a gentle breeze now, but it's not so strong as to be uncomfortable either*
Besyanteo (4:17:53 PM): *is this typical for his home?*
Besyanteo (4:17:56 PM)
: *well, this part of it*
Idran1701 (4:17:59 PM)
: *it is!*
Idran1701 (4:18:15 PM): *nothing to notice but the weather here*
Besyanteo (4:18:40 PM): *as they walk* Look up, just a little.
Besyanteo (4:18:56 PM)
: *quietly* We should be close to the place...
Idran1701 (4:19:15 PM)
: Hmm?
Idran1701 (4:19:18 PM): *looks up!*
Besyanteo (4:20:22 PM): There is a city nearby... in the trees. Look for it.
Besyanteo (4:20:35 PM)
: It is... pretty.
CGNakibe (4:21:09 PM)
: City? Where?
CGNakibe (4:21:16 PM): *looks around for signs*
Idran1701 (4:21:34 PM): *nothing at ground level that he can see*
Idran1701 (4:21:48 PM): *does he look up?*
CGNakibe (4:22:10 PM): *he does indeed*
Idran1701 (4:22:48 PM): *above...they can just barely make out a serious of complexes, in the space across the trees above*
Idran1701 (4:23:40 PM): *stretching off into the distance, and a ways up, starting almost 75 feet off the ground, with a few platforms and constructions continuing up almost unbelievably high, around the taller trees*
Idran1701 (4:24:10 PM): *he and Karin can just make out a few figures, winged like her, moving about the structures; a few giant birds as well, from what they can see*
CGNakibe (4:24:35 PM): .... 9.9 Now THAT I didn't quite expect....
Idran1701 (4:25:32 PM): ...Wow. That's amazing.
Idran1701 (4:25:37 PM): Who are they?
Besyanteo (4:26:14 PM): *speaking simply* Elves.
Besyanteo (4:26:27 PM)
: (... wait, that's not what I meant at all.)
CGNakibe (4:26:39 PM)
: (Mew.)
Besyanteo (4:26:50 PM): (Eh. Whatever, what he actually said is fine.)
Idran1701 (4:27:02 PM)
: (Heh.)
Idran1701 (4:28:17 PM): *from behind them* Avariel, to be precise.
Besyanteo (4:28:26 PM): *he turns to look!*
CGNakibe (4:28:46 PM)
: *turns* Hello.
Idran1701 (4:30:04 PM): *From the grey-tinted feathered wings and pointed ears, she appears to be one of this race. Long orange hair, a fairly well-used maul in one hand, and a large eagle-like beak where her face would otherwise be.* Greetings.
Idran1701 (4:30:37 PM): Now, what are you two doing here? *to the two-legged members of the group*
CGNakibe (4:31:34 PM): Helping our two friends in figuring out what took one from his home. Perhaps you would be able to aid us in this...?
Idran1701 (4:32:17 PM): Shal. *giving them a look of suspicion; Karin especially*
Besyanteo (4:32:28 PM): What they say is true.
Besyanteo (4:32:41 PM)
: *left earflick*
Idran1701 (4:33:05 PM)
: *nods* You can still speak, which helps your case.
Besyanteo (4:33:28 PM): (pause a sec)
Besyanteo (4:34:42 PM)
: You know of this?
Idran1701 (4:35:28 PM)
: Some of our avian companions have been taken. Eagles, those that once served Remnis in life.
Idran1701 (4:35:52 PM): We found one, rescued him from the control he was placed under. But a half-dozen more are still missing.
Idran1701 (4:36:46 PM): I've been following all the travelers through this layer I've seen, looking for some sign, but nothing so far. *looks as if she'd be scowling if she had a mouth to do so with*
Besyanteo (4:37:00 PM): *more left ear flickings!*
CGNakibe (4:37:19 PM)
: So this isn't just an isolated case. Should've guessed it wasn't.
Besyanteo (4:37:39 PM): *takes a moment to translate thigns for Roland!*
Besyanteo (4:37:46 PM)
: *presto-translato!*
Idran1701 (4:38:29 PM)
: I take it your friend had the same thing done to him?
Besyanteo (4:38:41 PM): Yes.
Besyanteo (4:39:01 PM)
: I found him in Sigil,
Besyanteo (4:39:13 PM)
: being "walked." *growled out the last word*
Idran1701 (4:39:34 PM)
: Sigil?
Besyanteo (4:39:38 PM): Yes.
Idran1701 (4:40:05 PM)
: A city, I assume?
Besyanteo (4:40:26 PM): ...
Besyanteo (4:40:42 PM)
: (... Ok, uhm,)
Idran1701 (4:41:04 PM)
: (She's from a city in the middle of the BEastlands that keeps to itself and doesn't often deal with outsiders.)
Besyanteo (4:41:04 PM): ( ... Moving right along!)
Besyanteo (4:41:25 PM)
: IM: Tiem away has changed my perspective greatly, hasn't it?
Idran1701 (4:41:41 PM)
: (Even if she had heard of it before, she probably wouldn't have cared enough to remember. :D)
Besyanteo (4:42:00 PM): Yes. It is a big center of plane traveling.
Besyanteo (4:42:24 PM)
: It is... all the planes connect there.
Idran1701 (4:42:27 PM)
: *nods*
Idran1701 (4:43:03 PM): And you are headed where the capture happened now?
Besyanteo (4:43:57 PM): As close as we can, yes.
CGNakibe (4:44:35 PM)
: With luck we'll find whoever did this.
Idran1701 (4:44:54 PM): *nods* Show me, then, so I can take a look myself.
Idran1701 (4:46:56 PM): (Testing.)
Besyanteo (4:47:05 PM): *more translat! o!*
Besyanteo (4:47:16 PM)
: (I'm alive. I'm just ADD. x.x)
CGNakibe (4:47:29 PM)
: Guy?
Besyanteo (4:47:41 PM): *seems to be busily speaking wolfish to Roland*
Idran1701 (4:48:05 PM)
: =Do you think she will be of help?=
Besyanteo (4:48:38 PM): =I have no idea. But at worst we'll just have to tell her to buzz off, right?=
Idran1701 (4:48:58 PM)
: =Heh. True enough.=
Idran1701 (4:49:51 PM): *Glancing to the avariel...Roland actually speaks. Not a language either Guy or Arian understands, but Shal seems to.*
Idran1701 (4:50:24 PM): *She looks fairly inscrutable about the conversation, but nods*
CGNakibe (4:50:56 PM): IM: And there you have it.
CGNakibe (4:51:14 PM): IM: With luck this means we'll get done with this a little faster.
Idran1701 (4:51:38 PM): *they speak for a short bit, before Shal looks to Guy once more* Continue on. It is not far, your companion tells me?
Besyanteo (4:52:05 PM): Yes. *and, he starts off again!*
Idran1701 (4:52:48 PM)
: *continues alongside Guy*
CGNakibe (4:54:26 PM): *once again following*
Idran1701 (4:55:05 PM): *Karinska continues as well, glancing back to Shal every now and again, who takes up the rear position*
Idran1701 (4:55:30 PM): *w* ...Arian, I think she's staring at me.
CGNakibe (4:56:52 PM): *w* Is she? ... I think you're right, she is....
CGNakibe (4:57:21 PM): *w* ... wonder what her problem is, exactly. >.>
Besyanteo (4:57:47 PM): IM: I wonder if they realize how big elf ears are.
Idran1701 (4:57:49 PM)
: *In front, Guy catches sight of a few bats flying around low not far ahead. Normal animals, from the look of them.*
Idran1701 (4:58:03 PM): *They must be bug harvesting.*
Idran1701 (4:58:39 PM): *w* I don't know...it's weird, though.
Besyanteo (4:58:39 PM): *It's the twilight plane; when wouldn't there be bats feeding?*
Idran1701 (4:59:54 PM)
: *more bats as they continue forward*
Idran1701 (5:00:14 PM): *almost a whole flock, all about them, from the look of things*
Besyanteo (5:00:33 PM): *doesn't seem bothered!*
Idran1701 (5:02:19 PM)
: (Sorry, got pulled away for a bit.)
Besyanteo (5:02:39 PM): (Yarr!)
Besyanteo (5:03:00 PM)
: (Caramelldansen speedycake remix!)
CGNakibe (5:03:15 PM)
: *w* No kidding.
CGNakibe (5:03:30 PM): (Its a piece of cake to make a pretty cake? @.@)
Idran1701 (5:03:38 PM): *Roland seems to be busy watching them, however, looking a bit amused to Guy*
Besyanteo (5:04:47 PM): (wrong song)
Besyanteo (5:05:03 PM)
: =Hm?=
CGNakibe (5:05:15 PM)
: (Ah, good... but now I can't get it out of my HEAAAAD)
Besyanteo (5:05:21 PM): *oddly, this sounds only slightly similar in Common to how it sounds in wolfish*
Idran1701 (5:05:29 PM)
: =Oh, I've always liked watching the bat swarms. Not sure why.=
Idran1701 (5:05:39 PM): =An echo, maybe.=
Besyanteo (5:05:42 PM): =Heh.=
Besyanteo (5:06:12 PM)
: =...I've never really had echoes. Or none that really stood out.=
Idran1701 (5:06:22 PM)
: *glancing back to Shal off and on*
Idran1701 (5:06:34 PM): =Oh? Well, you are new.=
Idran1701 (5:07:07 PM): =Though they are rarer for me in the last few years.=
Besyanteo (5:11:02 PM): *walkings!*
Idran1701 (5:11:09 PM)
: (And timeskip? :O)
Besyanteo (5:11:15 PM): (sure)
CGNakibe (5:11:53 PM)
: (Certainly)
Idran1701 (5:12:47 PM): *The group walks on! The bats continue to swarm, though soon the group leaves them behind*
Idran1701 (5:13:02 PM): *Some hours pass, and Guy soon sees a familiar-looking rock structure.*
Besyanteo (5:13:19 PM): *home?*
Idran1701 (5:13:23 PM)
: *Home!*
Besyanteo (5:13:50 PM): *he goes to poke his head in, and see if osmeone else has taken up residence while he was out*
Idran1701 (5:14:25 PM)
: *...Looks empty.*
Idran1701 (5:14:33 PM): =Don't worry, I kept an eye on it while you were gone.=
Idran1701 (5:14:53 PM): *tail wag* =Thought you might be coming back some time.=
CGNakibe (5:16:02 PM): Not hard to guess where we might be now. *smiles just a little*
Besyanteo (5:16:17 PM): *he turns around* =Thanks... That means alot to me.=
Besyanteo (5:16:30 PM)
: *then he looks over as Arian speaks*
Idran1701 (5:16:35 PM)
: *glancing around, somewhat bored* Was this the place?
Besyanteo (5:16:50 PM): This is my home. It is not where the capture took place.
Besyanteo (5:17:03 PM)
: I promised Karin I would show her, and I am.
Idran1701 (5:17:52 PM)
: *looking around, smiling*
Idran1701 (5:18:04 PM): And I appreciate it. It looks nice, Guy.
Idran1701 (5:18:15 PM): How wide was your territory?
Besyanteo (5:18:53 PM): I do not know the words in your language.
Besyanteo (5:19:00 PM)
: (How convenient!)
Idran1701 (5:19:03 PM)
: (:D)
CGNakibe (5:19:50 PM): Hmm.
Idran1701 (5:19:57 PM): *nods, glancing to his cave* Do you mind...?
CGNakibe (5:20:37 PM): *Arian stares out, trying to at least figure out what sort of view he could get from here*
Besyanteo (5:21:16 PM): Go on.
Idran1701 (5:21:58 PM)
: *nods, looking inside his hole now*
Idran1701 (5:23:10 PM): *chuckling to Guy, pulling her head out* Well, it certainly looks nice and cozy here.
Besyanteo (5:23:14 PM): *It's... a hole! It's mostly bare. There's a grass mat big enough for Guy to sleep on, and there a few knick knacks he msut have filched off of travellers*
Besyanteo (5:23:22 PM)
: *Alternatively, they might have dropped them*
CGNakibe (5:23:43 PM)
: *looks over at Karin* IM: I'd probably get stuck in there, I figure.
Besyanteo (5:23:52 PM): *he looks at Arian* Is "cozy" good?
CGNakibe (5:24:33 PM)
: Ah. Oh. Yes, it is.
Besyanteo (5:25:07 PM): *louder, to KArinska* Thank you!
Besyanteo (5:25:18 PM)
: =Their slang is terrible.=
Idran1701 (5:25:36 PM)
: Are we done here?
Idran1701 (5:25:59 PM): *wags again* =I'm sure they'd say the same about our talk if they could understand it.=
Besyanteo (5:26:32 PM): =Heh.=
Besyanteo (5:27:06 PM)
: I believe it is you who asked to follow us. *staring blankly (as thought it could be any other way) at Shal*
Besyanteo (5:27:10 PM)
: (though*)
Idran1701 (5:27:35 PM)
: Follow you to where the kidnapping occured.
Besyanteo (5:27:59 PM): Then you will have to wait till we reach it, will you not?
Besyanteo (5:28:06 PM)
: *tail wag*
Idran1701 (5:28:53 PM)
: Apparantly.
Besyanteo (5:29:07 PM): Then try not to whine while you wait.
Besyanteo (5:29:46 PM)
: (Karl is a bad influence on him. =D)
Idran1701 (5:29:51 PM)
: Hmph. *stalking off, watching the deeper woods*
Idran1701 (5:30:38 PM): *once Shal's a bit further* ...What's with her?
Besyanteo (5:30:46 PM): *preemptively* =She's jsut mad because we're not marching in line for her. Heheh.=
Besyanteo (5:31:22 PM)
: I can not say. Are you ready? *ears perked*
(5:31:42 PM) CGNakibe
has left the room.
Idran1701 (5:31:49 PM): *tail wags silently, and he looks with amusement to Guy*
Idran1701 (5:31:52 PM): (Bah. :( )
(5:32:05 PM) CGNakibe has entered the room.
Besyanteo (5:32:51 PM): (Welcome back!)
Idran1701 (5:32:59 PM)
: (Indeed!)
Besyanteo (5:33:03 PM): (Guy told off the Elf, and he can abrely speak common! :o)
CGNakibe (5:33:41 PM)
: I'm ready if you are.
Besyanteo (5:33:43 PM): (for Idran's reference: It's no secret that Shaun, Pervy and myself all hate most stereotypical fantasy elves. They build pretty things, but they're as sociable as a can of beans.)
Idran1701 (5:33:50 PM)
: (:D)
Idran1701 (5:33:56 PM): (Indeed. :D)
Besyanteo (5:33:57 PM): *leads!*
CGNakibe (5:34:02 PM)
: *w to Guy* I don't think our new friend likes us much.
Besyanteo (5:34:11 PM): *quietly* I can live with that.
CGNakibe (5:34:13 PM)
: (Bes is incorrect)
Besyanteo (5:34:17 PM): (?!)
CGNakibe (5:34:25 PM)
: (I actually LIKE beans on occasion.)
Besyanteo (5:34:37 PM): (heheheh.)
CGNakibe (5:35:16 PM)
: (Elves are like those old men whose only purpose in life seems to be to tell kids to get off their damn lawns.)
CGNakibe (5:35:26 PM): (Regardless of whether or not the lawn is important, mind)
Idran1701 (5:35:32 PM): (:D)
Besyanteo (5:36:14 PM): (While we're off topic: )
Besyanteo (5:36:19 PM)
: (A vote!)
CGNakibe (5:36:45 PM)
: (Vote?!?)
Idran1701 (5:37:19 PM): (:O?!)
Besyanteo (5:37:22 PM): (Do you two agree that otters, as a broken nomadic society in Mossflower and Shannel, should be sort of like XKCD characters in-as-far-as the attitude of exploring the future, savoring life, and generally not taking anything *cont*)
Besyanteo (5:37:25 PM)
: (seriously ever?)
Idran1701 (5:37:37 PM)
: (Heh. I like the idea.)
Idran1701 (5:38:23 PM): (Maybe not never taking things seriously, but only the most important things, that seems like a cool idea.)
Besyanteo (5:38:41 PM): (=D)
CGNakibe (5:39:22 PM)
: (This makes a perfectly good idea, honestly. Also happens to fit well enough with the source material)
Besyanteo (5:40:11 PM): (Heh. And they'd finally have eprsonalities that weren't copied from the hares)
Besyanteo (5:40:25 PM)
: *walks on!*
Idran1701 (5:40:44 PM)
: *the group continues on!*
Idran1701 (5:41:14 PM): *Shal notices them start back up, and follows after, putting a bit more distance between them now*
CGNakibe (5:41:19 PM): *w to Karinska* I don't think that Guy likes our new friend much either.
Idran1701 (5:41:39 PM): *w* Hard to believe.
CGNakibe (5:42:09 PM): *w* Stranger things have happened.
Idran1701 (5:42:55 PM): *walking, walking, walking*
Idran1701 (5:43:08 PM): *soon, Roland's hackles start to rise, as he watches the trees around them*
Idran1701 (5:43:36 PM): *a slight growl to his tone, his ears flat* =...It's very close.=
Besyanteo (5:44:26 PM): *looks ofr unusual things!*
Besyanteo (5:44:32 PM)
: *sniffing around and suchlike*
Idran1701 (5:44:38 PM)
: (d20!)
CGNakibe (5:44:59 PM): ..... We must be close.
CGNakibe (5:45:16 PM): You think whoever it was might have left a trail here?
OnlineHost (5:45:18 PM): Besyanteo rolled 1 20-sided die: 8
Besyanteo (5:46:32 PM): *he stops!*
CGNakibe (5:46:37 PM)
: *suddenly realizes that he should probably be looking for clues too... and does just that.*
Besyanteo (5:46:39 PM): *and sniffs around some more in one place*
Idran1701 (5:46:49 PM)
: =What is it?=
Idran1701 (5:46:52 PM): *sniffs himself*
Besyanteo (5:47:04 PM): =I think... humans. a few weeks ago.=
Idran1701 (5:47:57 PM)
: =...I can't smell it. You've always been more sensitive than me.=
Idran1701 (5:48:12 PM): (d20 for Arian as well, while Guy uses his own methods.)
OnlineHost (5:48:26 PM): CGNakibe rolled 1 20-sided die: 5
Besyanteo (5:48:27 PM): (do those methods also involve a d20?)
Idran1701 (5:49:04 PM)
: (Nope, just the IM I sent you. :D)
Besyanteo (5:49:27 PM): *he runs over...!*
Besyanteo (5:49:33 PM)
: *about another 40 feet away*
Besyanteo (5:49:36 PM)
: *then stops*
Besyanteo (5:49:40 PM)
: *and looks around some more*
Besyanteo (5:49:52 PM)
: They were here...
CGNakibe (5:50:17 PM)
: Wait a second.
CGNakibe (5:50:32 PM): I think... *bends down*
CGNakibe (5:50:46 PM): *frowns* You're right, Guy. There probably were humans here.
Idran1701 (5:50:46 PM): *they can also spot Shal looking around herself off on the edge of the area, keeping her distance from the others*
Besyanteo (5:51:19 PM): *makes no move to help Shal*
Idran1701 (5:51:32 PM)
: *growls, glaring at the spot where Guy stands*
Idran1701 (5:51:40 PM): =I can smell it here too now.=
CGNakibe (5:51:40 PM): Over here we have a piece of metal.
CGNakibe (5:51:44 PM): Looks decorative.
Besyanteo (5:51:56 PM): *looks!*
Idran1701 (5:52:27 PM)
: *a shard of metal, it appears to have snapped off of...something*
CGNakibe (5:52:45 PM): Be careful. Might be other shards around here.
CGNakibe (5:52:54 PM): And seeing as you don't exactly wear shoes...
Idran1701 (5:53:37 PM): =We need to find these bastards!=
Idran1701 (5:53:53 PM): *fur standing on end, looking increasingly agitated*
Besyanteo (5:54:00 PM): =Well yeah, but losing our heads won't help.=
Besyanteo (5:54:19 PM)
: =I'm trying to figure out which way they went...=
Besyanteo (5:54:25 PM)
: *indeed, doign so!*
Idran1701 (5:54:32 PM)

Besyanteo (5:54:59 PM): (I -think- 6 passes)
Idran1701 (5:55:41 PM)
: *...If it wasn't such an old trail, it'd be easier...*
Idran1701 (5:55:45 PM): *...He thinks he has an idea.*
Idran1701 (5:55:52 PM): *But he's uncertain about it.*
Besyanteo (5:56:49 PM): *he keeps it up*
Idran1701 (5:57:01 PM)
: ...What were they doing, anyway?
Idran1701 (5:57:11 PM): They captured Roland, stuck that collar on him...why, though?
Idran1701 (5:57:22 PM): Why not get a normal dog?
Idran1701 (5:57:44 PM): *...If this is their trail, then Guy thinks he can follow it.*
CGNakibe (5:58:01 PM): A normal dog wouldn't be as smart. *frowns*
Besyanteo (5:58:16 PM): (is this one of those "no retest" skills? Because I know DnD has alot of them, and I can't keep track.)
CGNakibe (5:58:33 PM)
: (Tracking? I think it allows retries.)
CGNakibe (5:58:36 PM): (One of the few.)
Idran1701 (5:58:39 PM): (No retest here, but after a bit of following he can try again to see if it was real.)
CGNakibe (5:58:59 PM): (Ah. Makes sense)
Besyanteo (5:59:17 PM): *he... follows this trail!*
Besyanteo (5:59:23 PM)
: =I think this... might be it.=
Idran1701 (5:59:25 PM)
: (If there's no sign a few dozen feet off, then it was probably a false lead, after all.)
Besyanteo (5:59:37 PM): *following it slowly so as not to lose it*
Idran1701 (5:59:52 PM)
: *growling, stalking off besides Guy, looking even more ready to dash than Guy had been*
Idran1701 (6:00:07 PM): =When we find them...=
CGNakibe (6:00:08 PM): *trying not to step on the ubiquitous tree branches, and failing at that.*
CGNakibe (6:00:25 PM): *.... settles for a medium level of cracking tree limbs*
Idran1701 (6:00:50 PM): *following besides Arian gracefully, almost silent in her own steps*
CGNakibe (6:00:51 PM): If you needed to have a dog with a modicum of intelligence, training them would be a problem.
Idran1701 (6:01:25 PM): *Guy continues on...*
Idran1701 (6:01:27 PM): (Another check.)
Besyanteo (6:01:33 PM): =When we find them, you're going to- =

Besyanteo (6:01:41 PM): (no wait)
Besyanteo (6:01:46 PM)

CGNakibe (6:01:47 PM)

CGNakibe (6:02:08 PM)
: Unless the people got confused, which is possible...
CGNakibe (6:02:12 PM): (Not much better there. >:P)
Besyanteo (6:02:16 PM): (Indeed)
CGNakibe (6:02:18 PM)
: Then they want SLAVES, not dogs. e.e
Idran1701 (6:02:30 PM): *...Wait, he lost it.*
Besyanteo (6:02:42 PM): =... Shit.=
Besyanteo (6:02:50 PM)
: =Lost the trail.=
Besyanteo (6:02:59 PM)
: *moves back a ways!*
Idran1701 (6:03:00 PM)
: =Well, find it!=
Besyanteo (6:03:03 PM): *to try again!*
Idran1701 (6:03:15 PM)
: *that comment had a bark to it; Roland doesn't seem happy, even to the humans*
Besyanteo (6:03:33 PM): =you remember what you were telling me before, about being careful not to get in over one's head...?= *sniffsniff!*
Idran1701 (6:03:53 PM)
: *Guy wanders off a bit, trying to find another sign...*
Idran1701 (6:03:57 PM): (Roll!)

CGNakibe (6:04:54 PM): (Smells like Team Spirit)
Idran1701 (6:04:56 PM): (:D)
Besyanteo (6:05:26 PM): *stops again!*
Idran1701 (6:05:28 PM)
: *...There it is. He was following the wrong trail. But he can spot the right one, just a handful of paces to his right*
Idran1701 (6:05:38 PM): *the signs should have been obvious before, they're almost screaming to him now*
Besyanteo (6:05:38 PM): =... this way.=
Besyanteo (6:05:48 PM)
: *moves faster now, with more confidence*
Idran1701 (6:05:54 PM)
: *follows!*
CGNakibe (6:06:07 PM): *w* ... come to think of it?
CGNakibe (6:06:18 PM): *w to Karinska* I doubt that it would be an accident.
Idran1701 (6:06:21 PM): *the two wind through the trees; it's a bit harder for the two-leggers to keep up as easily, but they manage*
Idran1701 (6:06:33 PM): *w* What?
CGNakibe (6:06:46 PM): *w* Catching Roland, or any other Brux natives, for that matter.
CGNakibe (6:07:16 PM): *w* You could lure out a NORMAL dog with food, or something like that. But think about what it would take to fool Guy or Roland here.
Idran1701 (6:07:41 PM): *the trail winds through the woods; definitely humanoid, an animal'd never take this sort of path*
CGNakibe (6:07:55 PM): Either way, this doesn't speak well of what we might find.
Idran1701 (6:07:58 PM): *He can vaguely make out Roland's scent mixed in, as old as the rest.*
Besyanteo (6:08:35 PM): (Roland: Hey look, al eg of rabbit dangling from a string! *CHOMP* ... Tastes like cholorfornurglpu. *thud*)
Besyanteo (6:09:21 PM)
: *la la, on our way to catch some jerks.*
Idran1701 (6:09:23 PM)
: *he continues forward...other groups merged with this one, they're moving together now*
Besyanteo (6:09:36 PM): (afk,m bloodsugar situation)
CGNakibe (6:09:38 PM)
: Ah. Better path here.
CGNakibe (6:09:46 PM): (... Mew. o.o;; )
Besyanteo (6:28:23 PM): (Less severe than usual!)
Idran1701 (6:28:32 PM)
: (Everything okay?)
Besyanteo (6:28:57 PM): (yeah. This happens. Not regularly, but it happens.)
Idran1701 (6:29:04 PM)
: (*nod*)
Idran1701 (6:29:20 PM): *other animals' scents are mixed in along with the new groups...a rabbit...a pair of foxes...some sort of snake, he thinks, but they don't leave quite as much of a smell to identify...a sloth, even?*
Besyanteo (6:29:53 PM): ...
Besyanteo (6:30:07 PM)
: =they... they must have taken many, very quickly. How can this be...?=
Besyanteo (6:30:21 PM)
: *sounds worried*
CGNakibe (6:30:39 PM)
: (Ah, good, everything is alright now. Excellent.)
Idran1701 (6:30:44 PM): =...They won't stay taken once we find them, Guy.=
Besyanteo (6:32:10 PM): *doesn't reply. It would do more harm than good at the moment*
Idran1701 (6:32:50 PM)
: (Can the non-canines see Guy's worry?)
CGNakibe (6:32:56 PM): What's wrong?
Besyanteo (6:34:17 PM): (Hm.)
Besyanteo (6:34:28 PM)
: (*consults sheet*)
Besyanteo (6:35:15 PM)
: (... I have no made a gesture for that. o_o)
Besyanteo (6:35:17 PM)
: (not*)
Besyanteo (6:35:55 PM)
: *in a surprisingly human gesture, he shakes his head slowly (comparatively) from side to side*
Besyanteo (6:36:07 PM)
: I do not like what I am finding.
Idran1701 (6:36:32 PM)
: What did you find?
Besyanteo (6:37:06 PM): Many were taken, in a very short time.
Besyanteo (6:37:17 PM)
: Very short.
Idran1701 (6:39:37 PM)
: How many?
Besyanteo (6:40:21 PM): ... Five, since we began this trail.
CGNakibe (6:40:27 PM)
: A group of humans, then.
CGNakibe (6:40:33 PM): Well, that rules out accident entirely.
Idran1701 (6:41:27 PM): *staring ahead down the trail, before looking away, frowning* Do you think they're still here somewhere?
Besyanteo (6:41:36 PM): I do not know.
Idran1701 (6:42:41 PM)
: *Roland seems to have picked up the trail himself, moving ahead past Guy, picking up some speed*
Besyanteo (6:43:46 PM): =Wait!=
Besyanteo (6:43:49 PM)
: *follows!*
Idran1701 (6:44:18 PM)
: *Roland's running down the trail now, but Guy can easily outpace him*
Idran1701 (6:44:35 PM): ...What's going on? *picking up speed herself*
CGNakibe (6:44:52 PM): *follows* I don't know.
CGNakibe (6:45:15 PM): *turns up to running speed.... clearly not as fast as the wolves...*
Besyanteo (6:45:28 PM): =Slow down! We will lose the others!=
Idran1701 (6:46:42 PM)
: =We don't need them! We can stop these...poachers on our own!=
Idran1701 (6:47:03 PM): *he doesn't seem that willing to listen to reason right now*
Besyanteo (6:48:08 PM): =No we can't! That kind of thinking will get us right back where I found you in sigil! Slow down!=
Idran1701 (6:49:00 PM)
: *Guy's right up alongside Roland now, who's since shut up*
Besyanteo (6:49:17 PM): =Slow down or I will make you.=
CGNakibe (6:49:19 PM)
: HEY! WAIT UP!
Idran1701 (6:49:22 PM): *the two humans have fallen behind pretty badly by now, especially given the crowded terrain*
Besyanteo (6:49:31 PM): *his teeth are out now*
Besyanteo (6:49:37 PM)
: *if not currently being employed*
Idran1701 (6:50:14 PM)
: ...*glancing to Guy, Roland...starts to slow, ears flat*
Besyanteo (6:50:28 PM): *slows as well*
Idran1701 (6:51:30 PM)
: *Arian and Karinska are starting to catch up now*
Idran1701 (6:51:57 PM): *slight growl* =...Do you know what would have happened to me if you hadn't found me? How humiliating the idea of what I was doing is to me?=
Besyanteo (6:52:18 PM): =So you rush back to it blindly?!=
CGNakibe (6:52:20 PM)
: .... *Dash dash dash*
Besyanteo (6:52:23 PM): =Think dog!=
Besyanteo (6:52:30 PM)
: =They took you before and would again without help!=
Idran1701 (6:52:34 PM)
: ...
CGNakibe (6:53:03 PM): How far... *pant* do you think... *puff* we are from them?
Idran1701 (6:53:09 PM): ...*snorts* =You're...right. I'm just...when I think of it, I get so enraged...=
Idran1701 (6:53:20 PM): ...Not...far...I think I can...see them...
CGNakibe (6:53:31 PM): Good...
Besyanteo (6:53:33 PM): =You have a right to be. But if you can't control it, you're never going to get your revenge.=
Idran1701 (6:54:20 PM)
: =...You're right.=
Besyanteo (6:54:30 PM): ...
Besyanteo (6:54:43 PM)
: *he brushes up against Roland friendly like*
Besyanteo (6:54:50 PM)
: =We'll get them. They will suffer.=
Besyanteo (6:55:04 PM)
: *checks on Arian and Karin's progress*
Idran1701 (6:55:20 PM)
: *tail wag* =Yes, we will.
Idran1701 (6:55:22 PM): *=
Idran1701 (6:55:25 PM): *here they come now!*
Idran1701 (6:55:42 PM): =If I start acting like a fool again, Guy, nip me, all right?=
Besyanteo (6:55:55 PM): =Count on it.=
Besyanteo (6:56:16 PM)
: (Aww, bonding._
Besyanteo (6:56:17 PM)
: )*
Idran1701 (6:56:25 PM)
: *the two reach the pair of wolves quick enough, both out of breath*
Idran1701 (6:56:38 PM): (:D)
CGNakibe (6:56:40 PM): *pant puff pant..*
CGNakibe (6:56:47 PM): (Sadly, humans are made for marching, not running.)
Besyanteo (6:57:17 PM): *Is elfy mc Elferton still about?*
Idran1701 (6:57:19 PM)
: *slumping against a tree*
Idran1701 (6:57:41 PM): *and he thinks he just spotted her flying past, but it's hard to tell through the branches*
Idran1701 (6:57:48 PM): *she's not on the ground, at least*
Besyanteo (6:58:02 PM): *after a long pause: *
Idran1701 (6:58:03 PM)
: *the hours they've spent traveling are starting to catch up to all four now*
Besyanteo (6:58:05 PM): Sloooooooooooow.
Besyanteo (6:58:15 PM)
: *tailwag*
Idran1701 (6:58:33 PM)
: ...*chuckles*
Idran1701 (6:58:47 PM): We'll have to be, now. Just...just give us a bit to rest first?
Besyanteo (6:59:01 PM): We will walk.
CGNakibe (6:59:05 PM)
: I'm sorry my *puff* training doesn't live up to your *pant* high expectations.
Besyanteo (6:59:06 PM): There is no time to sit
Besyanteo (6:59:14 PM)
: *leads by example!*
CGNakibe (6:59:24 PM)
: *groans* *but gets up and starts moving*
Idran1701 (6:59:33 PM): *sighs, doing the same*
Besyanteo (7:00:10 PM): (fun fact: It is ebtter for you to walk as a cool down after a long run than to coem to a complete stop!)
Idran1701 (7:00:20 PM)
: (Really? Huh!)
Idran1701 (7:00:25 PM): (Why's that?)
Besyanteo (7:00:36 PM): (Guy doesn't know this, and is just a dick. =D And I dunno, but it's part of exercise programs.))
Besyanteo (7:00:42 PM)
: (warm up and cool down.)
Idran1701 (7:00:45 PM)
: (*nod*)
CGNakibe (7:01:03 PM): (Actually its because of the way that muscles function)
Idran1701 (7:01:56 PM): *The group press on, and soon he smells...a _lot_ more humans, all having been clustered together here at one point. An old campsite?*
Idran1701 (7:02:07 PM): *More animals too, of all sorts.*
Besyanteo (7:03:23 PM): ... They were here.
Besyanteo (7:03:30 PM)
: ... They are a very alrge group.
Besyanteo (7:04:00 PM)
: *turns and looks back* this may be a problem.
Idran1701 (7:04:02 PM)
: *there's a lot of scents going in and out...he doesn't think he'll be able to find a very good trail from here, not for how long ago it was*
CGNakibe (7:04:19 PM): ... damn. How large are we talking?
Besyanteo (7:05:07 PM): ... *he sits, and his head slants to one side*
Besyanteo (7:05:35 PM)
: *quietly* ten... twenty... thirty... fourty...
Besyanteo (7:05:59 PM)
: four... tee... five... six... seven...
Besyanteo (7:06:30 PM)
: *louder* thirty to fifty.
CGNakibe (7:06:47 PM)
: .... Fifty? .... that's... a bit bigger than us, I must say. >.>;;;
Besyanteo (7:06:53 PM): Yes.
Idran1701 (7:07:28 PM)
: ...They cleaned up well, I can barely see any signs they were here.
CGNakibe (7:07:30 PM): Hmmm....
CGNakibe (7:07:52 PM): So they're experienced too.
CGNakibe (7:08:40 PM): We need to know where they are. A permanent base of some sort is probably likely.
Besyanteo (7:09:03 PM): I do not know if I can find that from here.
Idran1701 (7:09:06 PM)
: ...Doing all this, I doubt they'd stay in the Beastlands.
Besyanteo (7:09:08 PM): Many came to here from many places.
Besyanteo (7:09:51 PM)
: *he gets up, and starts looking around the camping site*
Besyanteo (7:10:02 PM)
: *For anything they might have accidentally left behind or dropped*
Idran1701 (7:10:06 PM)
: (d20!)
OnlineHost (7:10:11 PM): Besyanteo rolled 1 20-sided die: 2
Besyanteo (7:10:13 PM): (!)
Idran1701 (7:10:29 PM)
: *Hmm...an old tent stake someone missed...*
Idran1701 (7:10:48 PM): *...what looks like campfire ashes...*
Idran1701 (7:11:13 PM): *...he doesn't see anything that might give a clue where they left.*
Idran1701 (7:11:20 PM): *...but he does hear something*
Idran1701 (7:11:47 PM): *under a bush nearby, a very quiet noise*
Besyanteo (7:11:53 PM): *he heads for it*
CGNakibe (7:11:57 PM)
: You're probably right. It would be too easy to for a local to find one here.
Idran1701 (7:12:14 PM): *Guy heads over!*
CGNakibe (7:12:38 PM): Eh?
Idran1701 (7:13:33 PM): *And he finds...a small chipmunk. Injured, its leg broken a good while back from what he can tell, having since reset improperly, but thankfully not having pierced the skin or gotten infected.*
Besyanteo (7:13:50 PM): =do you speak?=
Idran1701 (7:13:53 PM)
: *It's whimpering in pain quietly, and it doesn't look like it'll be able to walk any time soon, not without healing. Further...it looks to be one of the intelligent sorts.*
Idran1701 (7:14:09 PM): (His speech is canine-specific, remember.)
Besyanteo (7:14:22 PM): (ah, right. scratch that then)
Besyanteo (7:14:34 PM)
: Do you speak common?
CGNakibe (7:15:09 PM)
: *stays quiet, and lets Guy handle things*
Idran1701 (7:15:25 PM): *cringing from Guy a little, it nods*
Besyanteo (7:15:45 PM): Tell me what happened here.
Idran1701 (7:17:12 PM)
: *it's obviously an effort for it to talk right now* ...The hu...humans, they tried to catch me...one of them chased...chased me, and kicked me by mistake...I fell, and...and crawled into here...and hid...it hurts...
Besyanteo (7:18:25 PM): *he loks to Arian and Karinska* Do we have any healing magic things?
Besyanteo (7:18:34 PM)
: IM: I would fail to learn the word "potion",
CGNakibe (7:19:03 PM)
: I believe I do have a potion of some sort here... hold on....
CGNakibe (7:19:37 PM): *rummages through a backpack... and pulls out one of the cogs he knows is supposed to contain healing potion*
Idran1701 (7:20:05 PM): *frowning, kneeling down next to the chipmunk*
Idran1701 (7:20:11 PM): *Arian finds his potion!*
CGNakibe (7:21:35 PM): Ah. Here. *and thusly opens it...* Here. This should do.
Idran1701 (7:22:30 PM): *takes the potion from Arian, carefully holding it near the chipmunk* Here, drink this, you'll feel better.
Besyanteo (7:22:46 PM): They can be trusted.
Idran1701 (7:23:12 PM)
: ...*it looks a little suspicious about her, but it takes the cog, drinking from the open gap in one of its teeth*
Idran1701 (7:23:38 PM): *it closes its eyes, wincing a little as the bone resets itself...but that soon passes, and it flicks its tail, watching the four of them* Thank you.
Besyanteo (7:24:36 PM): We came to kill the humans who did this, and rescue the beasts teh yahve taken. ... Any help you could give us would be...
Besyanteo (7:24:38 PM)
: helpful.
Besyanteo (7:24:57 PM)
: IM: I need one of those "speak common more better" books.
Idran1701 (7:25:33 PM)
: ...There were a lot of them...they had things they were putting around the beasts necks, making them dim like a normal animal, and docile.
CGNakibe (7:26:31 PM): (Guy: Hooked on Phonics worked for me~!)
Idran1701 (7:26:57 PM): They...they wanted them to be dim, I think. Just...for the sake of removing their minds.
Besyanteo (7:28:03 PM): ...
CGNakibe (7:28:13 PM)
: So much for what I thought but... why?
Besyanteo (7:28:17 PM): *his entire fur stand on end*
Besyanteo (7:28:24 PM)
: *or however you'd put that*
Idran1701 (7:28:49 PM)
: ...*Karinska scowls, hunching herself up some* The Vile Hunt.
Besyanteo (7:29:19 PM): *he looks over*
CGNakibe (7:29:32 PM)
: Vile Hunt?
Idran1701 (7:30:08 PM): They stopped in Faunel sometimes. They think humanoid beings are the only things that deserve intelligence. That...*looks to Guy* that your sorts are freaks that should be wiped out.
CGNakibe (7:30:17 PM): Ah.
Idran1701 (7:30:26 PM): They usually don't last long in Faunel when people find out they're part of that group.
Besyanteo (7:30:47 PM): They will not last long when we find them, either.
Idran1701 (7:31:07 PM)
: ...I don't see how they're doing this, though.
Idran1701 (7:31:36 PM): They usually just try killing. They don't have the resources to make these...dimming collars.
CGNakibe (7:31:53 PM): This implies that thye have NEW, more vile resources to work off of.
CGNakibe (7:32:28 PM): But where from?
Idran1701 (7:32:46 PM): *sits back on her haunches* I don't know.
CGNakibe (7:34:20 PM): Either way we need to track them down. *seems to have a certain level of determination in his voice* We may not be able to stop them right off, but finding out where they are is a good place to start from.
Besyanteo (7:35:06 PM): *looks to the no logner injured thingy!* Which way did they go?
CGNakibe (7:35:40 PM)
: Cultists. I should've guessed that these would be just as aggravating abroad as they are at home.
Idran1701 (7:36:51 PM): I couldn't pay attention very well from the pain...I think I saw some light, though...
Idran1701 (7:38:37 PM): Really bright.
CGNakibe (7:39:00 PM): Hmmm. Wonder what that could be.
Idran1701 (7:39:25 PM): ...A portal, maybe?
Besyanteo (7:39:43 PM): (QUESTION!)
Idran1701 (7:39:47 PM)
: (?!)
Besyanteo (7:40:01 PM): (Is there a general way portals in the Beastlands open, as there is n The Staircase?)
Idran1701 (7:41:09 PM)
: (Afraid not, no.)
Idran1701 (7:41:30 PM): (But Guy or Arian should be able to detect one if it's nearby with Detect Magic.)
Besyanteo (7:41:41 PM): (true!)
Idran1701 (7:41:44 PM)
: (Guy, at least.)
Besyanteo (7:41:49 PM): *does magic things!*
Idran1701 (7:41:52 PM)
: (Since Arian didn't think to memorize it. :D)
Besyanteo (7:41:55 PM): *the detecting kind!*
Besyanteo (7:42:09 PM)
: (I always do! =D Because I'm fuckin lazy and don't change my memorizaiton list!)
Idran1701 (7:42:16 PM)
: (Heh.)
Idran1701 (7:42:28 PM): *Guy casts!*
CGNakibe (7:42:38 PM): (Hey, Arian didn't figure on having to find any Magical McGuffins while out here)
Idran1701 (7:42:55 PM): *He can see the glow of the remainder of the potion; the spell's worked*
Besyanteo (7:43:45 PM): *any portals hereabouts? Any indication of anything?*
Idran1701 (7:44:10 PM)
: *he wanders around a little, looking here and there for the telltale signs of a portal...*
Idran1701 (7:44:46 PM): ...=What are you doing, Guy?=
Idran1701 (7:44:54 PM): =What's going on? What did it say?=
CGNakibe (7:45:42 PM): (Hey! I'm nottan it. ._. )
Besyanteo (7:45:47 PM): =There's reason to believe that they used a portal to leave here....=
Besyanteo (7:46:00 PM)
: =And I'm using a spell to try to find it, if there is one here.=
Besyanteo (7:46:15 PM)
: =Which means wandering around like an idiot, as far as anyone else can see. Just a minute.=
Idran1701 (7:46:37 PM)
: =...All right.=
Idran1701 (7:47:26 PM): *Guy looks about...hasn't found anything yet...*
Besyanteo (7:47:28 PM): IM: c'mon c'mon...
CGNakibe (7:47:29 PM)
: Damn. It would figure that I forgot to memorize that spell today...
Besyanteo (7:47:42 PM): *is working in a pattern, honest*
Besyanteo (7:47:52 PM)
: *so he doesn't passover any area twice*
Idran1701 (7:48:07 PM)
: *...Wait...there's something here, near this fallen log*
Idran1701 (7:48:18 PM): *It's not a portal, exactly...but it looks close to one*
Idran1701 (7:48:25 PM): *Similar*
Besyanteo (7:49:07 PM): *examine!*
Besyanteo (7:49:12 PM)
: Something is here.
Besyanteo (7:49:17 PM)
: =I'm on to something.=
CGNakibe (7:49:28 PM)
: Ah.
Idran1701 (7:49:30 PM): *There's a slab of rock under the log...it's coming from it. Under it, rather.=
Besyanteo (7:51:06 PM): Arian.
Besyanteo (7:51:09 PM)
: Move this stone.*
Besyanteo (7:51:16 PM)
: (minus the asterisk!)
Besyanteo (7:51:27 PM)
: *moves back about 10 feet to let him do this*
CGNakibe (7:51:29 PM)
: Certainly. *insert heavy lifting here*
Besyanteo (7:51:34 PM): *We refer to this as a safe distance!*
Idran1701 (7:51:46 PM)
: (Str/Muscle check!)
OnlineHost (7:51:58 PM): CGNakibe rolled 1 20-sided die: 7
CGNakibe (7:52:23 PM): (Low is good, right? If so, check results are go!)
Besyanteo (7:52:31 PM): (this is correct!)
Idran1701 (7:52:32 PM)
: *He pulls...the rock slowly lifts up, and they can all see light shining from beneath it. It's almost blinding with how long they've been in Brux.*
Idran1701 (7:52:43 PM): *Until their eyes adjust, at least.*
CGNakibe (7:52:56 PM): What the....?
Idran1701 (7:53:02 PM): *And under the rock, they find...a hole.*
Idran1701 (7:53:16 PM): *A hole to Krigala, it looks like.*
Besyanteo (7:53:23 PM): (Krigala?)
Idran1701 (7:53:27 PM)
: (First layer.)
Besyanteo (7:53:37 PM): (I thought so. ... Yarr. o_o)
Besyanteo (7:53:42 PM)
: ...
Besyanteo (7:53:54 PM)
: Put it back. For now.
Besyanteo (7:54:07 PM)
: *thinkarung!*
CGNakibe (7:54:11 PM)
: *heave HO*
Idran1701 (7:54:24 PM): *darkness restored!*
Besyanteo (7:54:48 PM): =We need a plan.=
CGNakibe (7:54:49 PM)
: Where WAS that?
Besyanteo (7:55:07 PM): Krigala. The day layer.
Idran1701 (7:55:13 PM)
: *nods* I thought I recognized it.
Besyanteo (7:55:14 PM): *back to Roland!*
Idran1701 (7:55:26 PM)
: =Any ideas?=
CGNakibe (7:55:29 PM): So.
CGNakibe (7:55:35 PM): They have their own portal here.
Besyanteo (7:55:41 PM): =They're in Krigala. At the closest. And there's... dozens of them there.=
Idran1701 (7:55:54 PM)
: Not a portal...exactly.
Idran1701 (7:56:09 PM): I think this is a natural tunnel.
Besyanteo (7:56:11 PM): =I knew we'd need help, but I don't think four of us can take on fifty of them.=
CGNakibe (7:56:17 PM)
: Ah. I see.
CGNakibe (7:56:23 PM): Part of the same plane.
Besyanteo (7:56:24 PM): =But they ALL need to die. Painfully, if possible.=
Idran1701 (7:56:29 PM)
: =Yes.=
Idran1701 (7:56:43 PM): =...What do you think they've done with the other beasts?=
Idran1701 (7:56:50 PM): =The ones that couldn't be...pets.=
Idran1701 (7:56:56 PM): *fur raises slightly at the word*
Besyanteo (7:57:22 PM): =... I have no idea. What I've been made to understand is that... tehy're doing this JUST to take away the minds of our fellow petitioners.=
Besyanteo (7:57:25 PM)
: ...
Besyanteo (7:57:31 PM)
: =I know what we have to do.=
Idran1701 (7:57:36 PM)
: =What?=
Besyanteo (7:57:39 PM): =We're going to find out where they are,=
Besyanteo (7:57:47 PM)
: =and then we're going to see the Lord.=
Idran1701 (7:58:00 PM)
: ...
Idran1701 (7:58:06 PM): =You're right.=
Besyanteo (7:58:30 PM): *he turns to Arian* We have a plan.
Besyanteo (7:58:37 PM)
: ... the start of one.
Besyanteo (7:59:10 PM)
: We need to find these vile humans, and take their location back to my leader, the Wolf Lord.
Besyanteo (7:59:22 PM)
: And then death will visit them quickly after.
Besyanteo (7:59:39 PM)
: ... But it is very, very dangerous for Roland and me.
Besyanteo (7:59:57 PM)
: But you and Karinska...
CGNakibe (8:00:04 PM)
: Because they have the intention of capturing you both anyway.
CGNakibe (8:00:23 PM): Karin, think we can scout this place out well enough?
Idran1701 (8:00:32 PM): ...I think so. *nods*
Idran1701 (8:00:48 PM): ...I don't think we can do it now, though.
Besyanteo (8:00:56 PM): Why?
Idran1701 (8:01:04 PM)
: I want to help, Guy but...we've been traveling for over half a day now.
Besyanteo (8:01:17 PM): ... Oh.
Besyanteo (8:01:43 PM)
: *right ear twitch!*
Besyanteo (8:01:52 PM)
: Well... ... We rest for a while.
CGNakibe (8:01:56 PM)
: To be blunt we'd still be able to at least start on things if it wasn't for that run a moment ago. As it is, its not good for us to go tired.
Besyanteo (8:02:15 PM): Then... we can talk, and make better plans.
Idran1701 (8:02:22 PM)
: *nods*
CGNakibe (8:02:25 PM): For once I'm wishing we could've brought Lilium along.
Besyanteo (8:02:29 PM): ... KArinska. What else do you know about the Vile Hunt?
Besyanteo (8:02:54 PM)
: (Lilium: Hay guys! I am intrigued by your activities and would liek to subscribe to your news letter!)
Besyanteo (8:03:02 PM)
: (VH Guys: Awesome! *induct*)
Besyanteo (8:03:22 PM)
: (Arian: That went... well. So, what's your plan?)
Besyanteo (8:03:30 PM)
: (Lil: ... Plan? *collars Guy*)
Idran1701 (8:03:40 PM)
: (Heh.)
Idran1701 (8:03:48 PM): ...Not much. They didn't stay around for long when they showed up.
Idran1701 (8:03:55 PM): They were...natural sorts.
Idran1701 (8:04:22 PM): Wanting the purity of nature, and thinking you and other intelligent animals ruin that.
CGNakibe (8:04:37 PM): Their purity or none at all.
Idran1701 (8:04:41 PM): *nods*
CGNakibe (8:04:43 PM): That's pretty typical of bigots.
Idran1701 (8:05:16 PM): They'd tried getting through Faunel to the Beastlands before, but that never lasted long. Wrath usually took care of that.
CGNakibe (8:05:50 PM): Good thing you already want to kill them, by the by. Types like theirs tend not to be very reasonable to begin with.
Idran1701 (8:05:52 PM): The statue, that is.
CGNakibe (8:06:23 PM): *nods*
Idran1701 (8:07:12 PM): *to Guy* What did you want to know?
Besyanteo (8:07:47 PM): Anything. Everything.
Besyanteo (8:07:55 PM)
: Fewwer surprises mean a quicker kill.
Idran1701 (8:08:30 PM)
: Well...they had some magic. Mostly druidic, and nothing that powerful.
CGNakibe (8:09:08 PM): Druidic magic? What's that like, because I've only heard rumors.
Besyanteo (8:10:03 PM): (And...)
Idran1701 (8:10:04 PM)
: It's focused on nature. Manipulating or conjuring plants and animals, changing the weather, summoning the elements.
Besyanteo (8:10:12 PM): (I need to do dishes, go to bed and get up at 6. Arr.)
Idran1701 (8:10:15 PM)
: (Bah.)
Idran1701 (8:10:18 PM): (Cut here, then?)
Besyanteo (8:10:27 PM): (Plz.)
Idran1701 (8:10:30 PM)
: (*nod*)
Idran1701 (8:10:32 PM): (XP!)
Idran1701 (8:11:04 PM): (500 base. 150 bonus to Guy for his interactions with Roland.)
Besyanteo (8:11:47 PM): (=D!)
Besyanteo (8:12:17 PM)
: (715!)
Idran1701 (8:12:28 PM)
: (Yep!)
Besyanteo (8:14:25 PM): (only 19090 to level 6. x.x)
Besyanteo (8:14:30 PM)
: (also: Night)
Idran1701 (8:14:34 PM)
: (Night. :D)
(8:14:39 PM) Besyanteo has left the room.
