Though if nothing else, it does color my text distinctly from everyone else's, at least. [17:44] [Idran] Which is nice.

[17:45] <Besyanteo> you figured that out already [17:45] [Idran] Figured what out? [17:45] <Besyanteo> I'm reading a bti at a time and replying. I saw your question about color, [17:45] <Besyanteo> and then your comment on the same subject [17:45] [Idran] Aha. :D [17:46] <Besyanteo> ... Hmmm... [17:46] <Besyanteo> Vegetable Tian. Lovely.

[17:59] <Besyanteo> My motherfucking soul. [17:59] [Idran] Ah. [17:59] [Idran] Just think of her as a professional troll. She says what she says not because she entirely believes it (though she obviously partially does believe some), but because she likes getting liberals' hackles up. [18:00] <Besyanteo> I noticed some of that, yeah. [18:00] <Besyanteo> At the same time, I feel like going up to her, [18:00] <Besyanteo> slapping her, [18:00] <Besyanteo> and telling her to make me a god damned sandwich. Because if she's a fundamentalist christian and republican, [18:01] <Besyanteo> then she should know better than to raise her voice. >XP [18:01] [Idran] She'd probably slap you back. And with those hands, you'd probably be out for a week as a result. [18:01] <Besyanteo> Ha. [18:01] <Besyanteo> It would be worth it. [18:01] [Idran] Heh. [18:01] <Besyanteo> Especially if I could get off before hand that I stood for moderate republicans everywhere. [18:01] <Besyanteo> True that that's, well, not true, [18:01] <Besyanteo> but it would make it more fun. [18:01] [Idran] :D [18:02] <Besyanteo> Fucking hell. I hate fundamentalists. [18:02] <Besyanteo> It's like the pride parade all over again. But every day.

I retyped "George" twice, for that same problem. And still missed. Fook.) [18:42] [WolfLord] *to Arian and Guy* ...You brought this situation to my attention, so the choice is yours.

We need surprise on our side.= [18:46] [WolfLord] =Then we shall use stealth.= [18:47] [WolfLord] *speaking to the rest of the pack, he sends them in pairs to circle the camp, not to enter until his signal.

Who should I cast it on? [19:01] <Arian_Ren> Hmmm. Probably not me. I don't think I'd be able to fool their woodsmen long.

[19:03] <Karinska> *thus, after a brief cast, the Wolf Lord begins fading from view as well* [19:03] [WolfLord] *slight chuckle* This will do nicely. [19:04] [WolfLord] When you are ready, then?

[19:31] <GuyWolf> (6.) [19:32] [WolfLord] *Arian's spell is cast, and a Hunter is blasted by a set of missiles. Guy is less lucky with his target, as his missile goes wide, doing nothing more than leaving a score in the Hunter's tunic across the shoulder.* [19:32] [WolfLord] (Roll damage for Arian.) [19:32] [WolfLord] *To Guy's luck, however, it does tartle him into collapsing, staring back at the wolf that somehow knows magic too?* [19:34] <Arian_Ren> (How many missiles at this level, anyway? o.o) [19:34] [WolfLord] (3!)

[19:41] <GuyWolf> (Yes) [19:41] [WolfLord] (Scratch that, then!)

[19:42] [WolfLord] *...Not one of the better tastes he's had in his mouth, but he can ignore it as he heads to the cage.* [19:43] [WolfLord] *Unfortunately, opening it without hands might be a little tricky; there's only a latch, no lock, so not impossible at least.* [19:43] <Arian_Ren> *heads towards the cages furthest from the fighting.* Somehow I figure I'm going to pick up a bite or two doing this...

[20:27] <ArianRen> So THAT'S where you went. o.o [20:28] <GuyWolf> *killkillkill!* [20:28] [Shal] *she gives him a silent nod, before swinging her mace into a Hunter; the number seems to be thinning* [20:28] <GuyWolf> *HI LEG* [20:28] <GuyWolf> (... Ha ha. 3) [20:28] [Shal] *Yoink! Pulled away at the last minute!* [20:29] [Shal] (Arian still focusing on cages for now?) [20:29] <GuyWolf> *Other ankle!* [20:30] <GuyWolf> (... 7) [20:30] [Shal] *Yoink*2! Man, this one's nimble.* [20:30] <GuyWolf> *Ok, that does it.* [20:30] <GuyWolf> *It's the thigh for you* [20:30] <ArianRen> (Yeah, he is) [20:30] <GuyWolf> (... I should really quit while I'm ahead. 5.) [20:30] [Shal] *Yoink*3, and he runs off!* [20:31] <ArianRen> (There's a good amount of muscle wandering about this battlefield, and freeing the other petitioners is more important* [20:31] [Shal] *And before Guy can chase...* [20:31] *** Roland_ is now known as VileHunte [20:31] <VileHunte> You! *staring at Arian* [20:31] <VileHunte> *Why, it's the salesman!* [20:31] *** VileHunte is now known as VileHuntr [20:32] <GuyWolf> <_< [20:32] <GuyWolf> IM: Ha!

[20:37] <GuyWolf> (shit gives Guy an init adjustment of 1?) [20:37] <GuyWolf> (rolled a 2) [20:39] <VileHuntr> (With Arian's reaction adjustment, init order pre-action: Shal, Arian, Hunter, Guy, Karin) [20:39] [Shal] *Shal heads forward, readying a strike* [20:39] [Shal] (Arian!) [20:40] <ArianRen> *pulls out a tiny dagger and begins to chant, calmly looking at the huntsman himself* [20:40] [Shal] (Ice Knife?) [20:40] <ArianRen> (Ice Knife) [20:41] <VileHuntr> *The hunter begins to move forward himself, drawing his sword back as everything just about happens at once* [20:41] <VileHuntr> (Guy!)

[20:43] <GuyWolf> *OH CRAP YOUR ANKLE* [20:43] <GuyWolf> (*checks damage roll*) [20:43] [Shal] *Guy clamps on just about as Arian's spell completes, and Karin begins moving in herself* [20:43] [Shal] (d20 for Arian.) [20:44] <GuyWolf> (5 damage) [20:44] <ArianRen> (12) [20:45] [Shal] *The knife hits as Guy rips into the hunter's leg; though the majority of the blast focuses on him, Guy and Shal can feel the wave of ice pass through themselves as well.* [20:46] [Shal] (Roll for damage, Shaun; 2d4. And Bes, give me a d20 for Guy's save. :O) [20:46] <GuyWolf> (rolled a 5) [20:47] <ArianRen> (7) [20:48] [Shal] (Hunter takes 7 damage, Guy takes 3 and feels a little numb.) [20:48] [Shal] (Shal looks to have shrugged it off herself.) [20:49] [Shal] *The hunter swings at the wolf, missing as he shivers with the blast of ice, while Karin reaches him just late enough to miss the effect, her lack of skill in combat unfortunately showing itself as her target dodges easily out of the path of Karin's dagger.* [20:50] [Shal] *Shal's mace is about as effective, leading to a short growl from her that's quickly cut off with a hiss of pain.* [20:50] [Shal] *She readies for another strike...* [20:50] [Shal] (Arian!) [20:50] <ArianRen> *frowns and decides to conjure up some familiar balls of light...* [20:50] <ArianRen> (Magic Missile) [20:51] [Shal] *Arian begins his chantings, finishing them just as Guy regains his bearings...* [20:51] [Shal] (Roll for damage, Shaun, and Guy, you're up.) [20:52] <ArianRen> (8) [20:52] <GuyWolf> *Hey!* [20:52] <GuyWolf> *Let's rip that tendon out!* [20:53] <GuyWolf> (4 on the d20. Ha ha.) [20:53] <VileHuntr> *smashed by the balls of light, and obviously in a great deal of pain all around, he glares to Arian and Karin* How can you fight with these unnatural abominations? They're against the natural order of things! [20:54] <VileHuntr> *His leg slips just as Guy snaps; a lucky move for him* [20:54] <VileHuntr> *He struggles to keep his balance on the injured leg, but it's a trial* [20:57] <ArianRen> How? They're my friends, helping me understand that things are DIFFERENT here than at home. How could I NOT help a friend? [20:58] <VileHuntr> *Gasping in a mixture of pain and anger, he slashes out, and though Guy moves in time to avoid the worst of it, he does suffer a nick along his side* (2 damage) [20:58] <Karinska> *slashes at him along with his own sword strike, scoring a deep gash in his side* [20:59] [Shal] *just a bit afte rKarin's strike, she gets a good bash into his shoulder, with a slight cracking sound audible to Guy alone* [20:59] [Shal] *Shal readies for another blow* [20:59] [Shal] (Arian!) [21:00] <ArianRen> *more missiles of the magic kind!* [21:01] [Shal] (Roll for damage, and Guy's up!) [21:01] <ArianRen> (10) [21:01] <GuyWolf> *Other leg, dammit!* [21:02] <GuyWolf> (13) [21:02] [Shal] (Hit! Roll damage. :D) [21:02] <GuyWolf> (3) [21:03] [Shal] *Rip and tear indeed! As Guy gets a good chunk of quad, Arian's spell strikes, and the combined force sends the Hunter down, as he drops his sword to the ground besides him* [21:03] <GuyWolf> KILL HIM [21:03] [Shal] *He's out, but still breathing, and with this battle over, they can see most of the rest of the camp is already routed, either dead or gone* [21:04] <GuyWolf> *oh, he's unconcious?* [21:04] [Shal] (Yes!) [21:04] <GuyWolf> *More throat for me!* [21:04] [Shal] *Shal steps back as Guy goes for another bite* [21:05] <Karinska> ...*steps back a little herself; Arian can tell she's not entirely up to the sight of Guy ripping another esophagus to shreds, if not exactly _upset_ about it* [21:06] <GuyWolf> *shakes out* [21:06] [Shal] *gives him a good whack with her mace in the chest for good measure, cracking a few ribs; not that he's living enough to notice, of course* [21:08] <ArianRen> *lets loose a held breath* [21:09] [Shal] *and as Guy shakes out...a young boy, perhaps a couple years Arian's junior, approaches, dagger in hand and a look of pleasure on his face* [21:09] <GuyWolf> (Remind me how old Arian is?) [21:09] <ArianRen> ... STOP!... GUY!!! [21:09] <GuyWolf> *looks at Arian funny* [21:09] [Shal] (Oh, he's older than I thought.) [21:09] <ArianRen> *quick-dashes towards the kid, hoping to get there tin time* [21:09] <GuyWolf> ... [21:09] [Shal] (Make that a number of years Arian's junior.) [21:09] <GuyWolf> *Tackles Arian* [21:09] [Shal] (He looks to be 16 or so.) [21:10] <GuyWolf> (roll?) [21:10] <VileHuntr> (Sure!) [21:10] *** VileHuntr is now known as KnifeBoy [21:10] <GuyWolf> ( ... ) [21:10] <KnifeBoy> *stops, watching oddly* [21:10] <GuyWolf> (1) [21:10] <KnifeBoy> *Guy flies past Arian, tumbling into the dirt* [21:10] <KnifeBoy> *Ow, dirt in a cut hurts :( * [21:11] <GuyWolf> *yip* [21:11] <KnifeBoy> *to Arian, looking behind himself* ...What is it? [21:11] <ArianRen> *fake left, juke right!.... and does his own linebacker impression* [21:11] <KnifeBoy> (Roll!) [21:11] <ArianRen> (15) [21:11] <KnifeBoy> (Hahaha.) [21:12] <KnifeBoy> (Guy is going to be so ticked at him. :D) [21:12] <KnifeBoy> *tackle!* [21:12] <KnifeBoy> *and they both go down with an oof* [21:12] <ArianRen> OOF... [21:12] <GuyWolf> *will grab the back of Arian's neck in his teeth* [21:12] <KnifeBoy> ...Wh...what in the planes was that for, you crazy two-legger! [21:12] <GuyWolf> *gently* [21:12] <ArianRen> .... [21:12] <ArianRen> Eh? [21:12] <GuyWolf> *growling* [21:13] <Karinska> *is just confused!* [21:13] <ArianRen> *is now thoroughly confused* [21:13] [Shal] *likewise* [21:13] <ArianRen> O...kaay. [21:13] <ArianRen> I'm clearly missing something here. [21:13] <GuyWolf> *pulls back, gently* [21:13] <KnifeBoy> *scrambling out from under Arian, dusting himself off* [21:13] <GuyWolf> *Arian feels he should stand* [21:13] <ArianRen> *follows Guy's tugging...* [21:13] <GuyWolf> *lets him go* [21:13] <ArianRen> *And gets to his feet* [21:13] <GuyWolf> That... [21:13] <GuyWolf> *struggles* [21:13] <GuyWolf> *sputters* [21:13] <GuyWolf> Lord! [21:13] <GuyWolf> *barks!* [21:14] <KnifeBoy> *glaring up to Arian; for being a foot shorter than Arian, it's still an oppressive stare* [21:14] <ArianRen> ... Um. what? o.o;; [21:14] <KnifeBoy> *he can feel the eyes of nearly a dozen wolves in the camp on him as well now* [21:14] <ArianRen> *somehow has the presence of mind to look more than a tad embarassed here. Somehow he's offended SOMEONE, and he's not sure how or why* [21:14] <ArianRen> ..... [21:14] <ArianRen> ....... Oh. [21:14] <GuyWolf> *while growling* =my apologies. He doesn't know better.= [21:14] <ArianRen> I apologize for that. [21:15] *** KnifeBoy is now known as WolfLord [21:15] <WolfLord> ...Hmph. [21:15] <WolfLord> =I suppose it's all right, Guy.= [21:15] <ArianRen> *sighs, and sits down, muttering* There's your disaster for the day. Happy? [21:15] <WolfLord> *man, the Wolf Lord's voice isn't so impressive in this form* [21:15] <WolfLord> *well, beyond being a human and speaking Wolf* [21:16] <ArianRen> I assumed by your looks that you were somehow one of their small children. That was entirely my fault. [21:16] <WolfLord> *he sheathes his dagger* Yes, it was. [21:16] <ArianRen> .... Their.... business... is finished, then? [21:17] <GuyWolf> IM: DOZENS OF US ON THE FIELD [21:17] <WolfLord> I believe the camp is all but routed now, yes. [21:17] <GuyWolf> IM: AND HE THINKS WE'D MISS ONE?! [21:17] <WolfLord> (He's going to roll all over the inside of Arian's bedroll now, isn't he? :D) [21:17] <ArianRen> Good. [21:17] <ArianRen> (No kidding) [21:18] <GuyWolf> (=D!) [21:18] <GuyWolf> (He doesn't know Arian is Allergic, actually.) [21:18] <GuyWolf> (He never seems to sneeze around him) [21:18] <WolfLord> (Maybe not quite roll in it, then? :D) [21:18] <WolfLord> ((I'm sorry, that was almost horrible.)) [21:18] <ArianRen> (He did early on. HOnestly I keep forgetting when its not convenient. -.-;; ) [21:18] <WolfLord> (Heh.) [21:19] <WolfLord> And as an extra boon, I managed to capture the leader of this camp. To gain some information, and a hostage if necessary. [21:20] <ArianRen> *nods* [21:21] <WolfLord> *he looks back towards a tent and whistles...and a collared human walks up from behind it, a placid look on his face* [21:21] <ArianRen> *some may get the impression that any tail Arian MIGHT have had might have vanished under his tail about now...* [21:21] <WolfLord> (Haha. :D) [21:21] <ArianRen> ... o.o Well. There's an irony. [21:22] <WolfLord> If they thought it appropriate for us, I see no reason why we shouldn't find it appropriate for them. [21:23] <WolfLord> *there's a slight tinge of cruel pleasure in his words; he seems to be getting a little enjoyment out of the reversal* [21:23] <GuyWolf> ... *shakes out* [21:25] <WolfLord> *to the humanoids* Freeing the remaining captives will go much faster with the help of the three of you. [21:25] <ArianRen> *frowns, but only a little* I suppose pretty soon he'll know all about being a pet. [21:27] <WolfLord> Perhaps. Though I'll likely give him times of freedom, for information if nothing else. [21:30] <GuyWolf> (Yarr) [21:30] <WolfLord> (And timeskip?) [21:31] <WolfLord> (If there's nothing else people have to say.) [21:31] <GuyWolf> (Timeskip!) [21:32] <ArianRen> (Timeskip~!) [21:32] <WolfLord> *those with hands get to work releasing the petitioners, and those native to Brux join the pack for the trip back to the layer of twilight* [21:33] <ArianRen> (Oh, wait, TIME PARADOX OHNOES) [21:34] <WolfLord> *The Lord leads them through the forest once more, and the pack leaves the carnage behind for the scavengers.* [21:35] <WolfLord> *Shal joins them on the trip back, still keeping silent, standing proud in posture but apologetic with a glance to those she sneered on before* [21:37] <WolfLord> *Hours of travel pass by before the group returns to the twilight. Before leaving into the forest, the Lord looks over the five, Roland at one side and his new gift on the other* [21:37] <WolfLord> I assume you'll be returning with them, Guy? You still have your mission, after all. [21:38] <GuyWolf> Yes. [21:39] <WolfLord> *he nods* Well, thank you for letting us put an end to this...abhorrence. [21:39] <WolfLord> To all of you. Even you, Arian, even if you were a little overzealous. *small chuckle* [21:41] <ArianRen> No problem. Just... I don't intend to make that mistake again, if at all possible. [21:41] <GuyWolf> *sort of bows a little!* [21:41] <ArianRen> *bows as well* [21:41] <GuyWolf> (Also: Need to do dishes after this and get to bed) [21:41] <WolfLord> Yes, I would hope not. *a smirk, baring his teeth just slightly* [21:41] <WolfLord> (*nod* We're almost done. :O) [21:42] *** Shal is now known as Roland_ [21:42] [Roland_] *slight nudge to Guy* =I'm sure I'll see you again around here eventually, eh?= [21:43] <GuyWolf> *he nudges back* =Definitely. Tell your lady I said hi.= [21:43] <GuyWolf> (I forget her name. :( ) [21:43] <WolfLord> (I don't think we ever came up with it. :D) [21:44] <GuyWolf> (Ha) [21:44] <WolfLord> =Heh. I'll do that. Hopefully she won't be too upset she missed seeing you.= [21:44] <WolfLord> (Wrong window!) [21:44] <WolfLord> (But it didn't happen until now, which surprises me. :D) [21:44] <WolfLord> (That was Roland, obviously.) [21:45] <ArianRen> (Heh) [21:45] <GuyWolf> =Heh. There's next time.= [21:46] [Roland_] =True.= [21:46] [Roland_] =Try not to have too much fun in the two-leggers' world, all right? I don't want you getting too soft.= [21:47] <GuyWolf> =Ha. I'll do my best.= [21:48] <WolfLord> The five of you will always be welcome in my pack. But we should be leaving now, and I imagine so should you. [21:49] <GuyWolf> It is as you say. [21:50] <WolfLord> *nods* Then until we meet again. [21:50] <WolfLord> *and he's off!* [21:50] <GuyWolf> *watches them go* [21:50] <ArianRen> Goodbye. [21:51] <Karinska> *watching them leave, mostly the captive walking behind faithfully* [21:51] <Karinska> *once he's out of sight* *quietly* ...It's no offense to him, but...knowing you, Guy, I can't believe he'd do that. [21:52] <GuyWolf> It is his way. [21:52] <GuyWolf> ... We should leave.
