(8:46:06 PM) You have just entered room "firstaintlast."
(8:46:25 PM) Brodzky Zero has entered the room.
(8:47:00 PM) SongstressEnlil has entered the room.
Idran1701 (8:47:09 PM): OR IS HE?
SongstressEnlil (8:47:44 PM): <Daredevil approaches>
Brodzky Zero (8:48:02 PM)
: *First was sent back in time by a renegade ex-President John McCain to plant the seeds needed to set the past's future aright- undoing the wrongs he unwittingly wrought before they even have a chance to come to be.*
Idran1701 (8:48:12 PM): You can't play Daredevil in this game, Pervy. >:
Idran1701 (8:48:16 PM): You can play Foggy Nelson.
SongstressEnlil (8:48:35 PM): *Who*
Idran1701 (8:48:57 PM): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foggy_Nelson
Idran1701 (8:49:00 PM): He has a bow tie.
SongstressEnlil (8:49:18 PM): *Yes he does*
Brodzky Zero (8:50:22 PM)
: *McCain gave up the use of half of his celestial body so that First may have movement. McCain gave to his creation immunity to pain so that he would never give in if captured and placed in a prisoner camp.*
Idran1701 (8:50:29 PM): Anyway, whenever you are ready, Zero. :O
Idran1701 (8:50:36 PM): Also: :D
Brodzky Zero (8:50:42 PM): *McCain blessed his son with the inability to smile, so that there was a resemblance that would echo across the ages.*
Brodzky Zero (8:52:09 PM): *But, another was in the room that night- a final and most important gift was bestowed. Inside First's heart was placed a scroll with a single word upon it. And this is why First is ultimately a carrier of Hope.*
Brodzky Zero (8:52:18 PM): <FIRST SAGA GAIDEN Z>
Idran1701 (8:52:39 PM): *Last time, First was charging up for an ultimate attack! This time, more charging!*
Idran1701 (8:52:52 PM): (The secret of his tea habit revealed.)
Brodzky Zero (8:52:53 PM): (First: I AM GOING TO HIT YOU SO HARD WITH THIS SWORD)
Idran1701 (8:53:28 PM): (Serious intro now:)
Idran1701 (8:53:58 PM): *Leaving the rest of the party behind, First heads off on his own, returning to the spot where Karl ran off from him with orders not to seek him out.*
Idran1701 (8:54:24 PM): *He begins his campaign of information seeking, wandering from building to building and person to person, asking everyone he encounters if anyone has seen Karl.*
Idran1701 (8:54:38 PM): (Does he have enough common sense to use a description rather than a name, at least? :O)
Brodzky Zero (8:55:05 PM): (He does.)
Idran1701 (8:57:18 PM): *His series of interrogations goes on for hours, as light fades into darkness, with no success as of yet.*
Idran1701 (8:57:57 PM): *Thankfully, no guards seem to be hassling him. Though annoying, what he is doing certainly isn't illegal.*
Brodzky Zero (8:59:12 PM): *Darkness is not an obstacle for this supersleuth*
Idran1701 (8:59:36 PM): *Also thankfully, there doesn't seem to be much in the way of thug violence in this part of the city. He chose a good spot to run off from, at least, so no risk of stabbings either given or received.*
Idran1701 (8:59:48 PM): *Though pain doesn't harm him, death would certainly be annoying.*
Brodzky Zero (9:00:38 PM): *It would take quote a large group of thugs waking up pretty early and getting quite a jump with some ridiculously good stabbing implements to bring down THIS supersleuth.*
Idran1701 (9:01:14 PM): (Or one thug with a really, really big stabbing instrument.)
Idran1701 (9:01:20 PM): (Like a giant ballista arrow.)
Brodzky Zero (9:02:19 PM): (Point blank, maybe)
Idran1701 (9:03:22 PM): *Soon even the evening passes into nightfall, as groups of light boys begin emerging from wherever they spend their days, toting their multi-colored lanterns across the streets.*
Idran1701 (9:03:44 PM): *And still, no one that even recognizes the description.*
Idran1701 (9:03:54 PM): *Does he find a place to bed down for the night, or press on?*
Brodzky Zero (9:04:04 PM): (Is he tired?)
Idran1701 (9:05:42 PM): (Up to you. I'm not sure how exactly that works for him, but he hasn't had any heavy exertion today.)
Brodzky Zero (9:06:05 PM): (Well, considering he did not sleep the previous night...)
Brodzky Zero (9:06:17 PM): *Looks for an alley or park.*
Idran1701 (9:07:23 PM): *There's a nice dark, unoccupied enclave right nearby, tucked between two towering bespired brick buildings.*
Idran1701 (9:07:27 PM): (Bespired is now a word.)
Brodzky Zero (9:08:00 PM): (It's the Germanic version of French's "Spirellated")
Brodzky Zero (9:08:17 PM): *Begins the arduous task of setting his tent up, there.*
SongstressEnlil (9:08:39 PM): (Bespired : aspeired :: bemused : amused)
Idran1701 (9:09:10 PM)
: *It's cramped, but he can just barely fit the tent*
Brodzky Zero (9:09:11 PM): (It's got stalactites inside)
Brodzky Zero (9:09:33 PM): *He then makes to take a short nap before carrying on!*
Idran1701 (9:11:30 PM): *As he wakes up, he feels a small amount of pressure on his chest. Something tiny is on him!*
Idran1701 (9:11:39 PM): *Not attacking, though.*
Brodzky Zero (9:11:40 PM): *LOOKS AT THIS THING*
Brodzky Zero (9:11:43 PM): *WHAT IS THIS THING*
Idran1701 (9:12:07 PM): *It looks to be a small, grey-furred rat, sleeping itself. The normal kind, not the brainy kind.*
Brodzky Zero (9:12:12 PM): (Pause, need to wash my face with this damp rag I just found )
Brodzky Zero (9:12:31 PM): (OKAY)
Brodzky Zero (9:12:57 PM): *Puts it outside, and begins un-making his tent.*
Idran1701 (9:13:31 PM): *It wakes up, and squeaks as it is carried*
Idran1701 (9:13:53 PM): (How gentle is First on a scale of 5 year old girl to Lennie?)
Brodzky Zero (9:14:45 PM): (That metric is useless unless calibrated against a rabbit or ranch-strumpet.)
SongstressEnlil (9:14:47 PM): (I'd rate it a Squiggy myself)
Brodzky Zero (9:15:29 PM)
: (But, he is not trying to hurt the rat, simply remove it.)
Brodzky Zero (9:18:00 PM): (POST)
Idran1701 (9:18:22 PM): (Sorry distracted by a dumb webcomic)
Brodzky Zero (9:18:29 PM): (Which webcomic?)
Brodzky Zero (9:18:34 PM): (Pervy loves webcomics!)
Idran1701 (9:18:53 PM): ( http://comicofloathing.replica-saga.com/index.php )
Idran1701 (9:19:24 PM): *The rat is carefully set on the ground, running off as First takes the tent down*
Idran1701 (9:19:29 PM): *And without even a word of thanks*
Brodzky Zero (9:20:48 PM): *Is the tent sorted out easily enough?*
Idran1701 (9:20:54 PM): *Yes!*
Idran1701 (9:21:02 PM): (Sorry, thought that was implied. :O)
Brodzky Zero (9:22:19 PM): *Then First shall activate the plan he has!*
Idran1701 (9:22:34 PM): (DESCRIBE THE PLAN)
Brodzky Zero (9:22:35 PM): *He shall go to a place that will help him, somehow!*
Brodzky Zero (9:22:54 PM): (He is going to go to the cyberpunk headjack place.)
Idran1701 (9:23:54 PM): (The what now?)
SongstressEnlil (9:24:08 PM): (A bar)
Brodzky Zero (9:24:24 PM)
: (No. That place where he got the dwarf vision)
Idran1701 (9:24:47 PM): (Oh, the Sensorium?)
Brodzky Zero (9:25:15 PM): (Yeah.)
Idran1701 (9:27:16 PM): *First heads to the public Sensorium, located in the headquarters of the Sensates. Thankfully, he remembers the way after a bit of prompting.*
Idran1701 (9:27:45 PM): *Soon, he stands within the impressively-decorated main hall, heading through and to his destination.*
Idran1701 (9:28:05 PM): *At the sensorium, a sensate sits on duty, looking over at his approach*
Idran1701 (9:28:19 PM): *he stands as First comes nearer* Can I help you?
Brodzky Zero (9:28:26 PM)
: (Sigilian Sigil, a Free Newspaper for Berks: "Half be-brainless fellow seen stumbling about the sensorium, asking for a guy with a hat. Possible sign of negativity concerning overuse of sensorium facilities?)
Idran1701 (9:28:35 PM): (:D)
SongstressEnlil (9:28:58 PM)
: (I rule this broadsheet and this headline canonical)
Brodzky Zero (9:29:36 PM)
: Maybe. I am looking for someone who probably has not been here. But maybe I can find him with help from here.
Idran1701 (9:29:55 PM): Oh? And how may we help?
Brodzky Zero (9:30:40 PM)
: Would it be possible to get an image from my thoughts?
Idran1701 (9:31:02 PM): *he nods* It would.
Brodzky Zero (9:31:28 PM)
: Would it be possible to find a person with an image like that?
Idran1701 (9:32:49 PM): ...You mean find the person through your memory of him?
Brodzky Zero (9:33:09 PM)
: Or from an image from a memory.
Idran1701 (9:33:54 PM): ...I'm afraid I'm not sure. Perhaps a spellweaver could help with that. I imagine it might be possible, however, yes.
Idran1701 (9:34:05 PM)
: It would certainly be an interesting challenge.
Brodzky Zero (9:34:17 PM)
: Then I would like to attempt this.
Brodzky Zero (9:35:11 PM): (Fedoras, the hat most favored by dangerous criminals and drunks; and the First who sought them out.)
Idran1701 (9:35:26 PM): *nods* I'll call in someone to record the sensory stone with you. And once recorded, we'll see what can be done from there.
Idran1701 (9:35:28 PM)
: (?!)
Brodzky Zero (9:35:34 PM)
: Okay.
Idran1701 (9:35:39 PM): (Is that a reference to something, or just an amusing line? :O)
Brodzky Zero (9:36:03 PM)
: (An amusing line. One is featured daily in the Sigilian Sigil!)
Brodzky Zero (9:36:24 PM): (Its sister publication is Doma's Observer Observer.)
Idran1701 (9:36:24 PM): (!)
Idran1701 (9:36:33 PM)
: (Heh. :D)
Idran1701 (9:37:12 PM)
: *First is led in back to a somewhat barren room; a cylinder colored in dull white, with nothing within but a single pedestal and a pair of chairs on either side*
Brodzky Zero (9:37:36 PM)
: (Don't laugh. Keir at one time thought it somewhat amusing until Enlil condescendingly made a big deal of how 'clever and original' it was.)
Brodzky Zero (9:37:51 PM): *Stands near the center of the room.*
Brodzky Zero (9:40:14 PM): (AFK I need a ice cream)
Idran1701 (9:40:23 PM): *soon, he is joined by another; a robed gentleman, not quite elderly and not in the best shape, carrying a translucent gemstone*
Idran1701 (9:40:29 PM)
: (YOU HAD BETTER ENJOY IT)
Brodzky Zero (9:42:07 PM)
: (I WILL)
Brodzky Zero (9:42:13 PM): Hello.
Idran1701 (9:43:07 PM): *he nods* And hello to you.
Idran1701 (9:43:25 PM)
: Spencer told me of your request. It's certainly an intriguing one.
Brodzky Zero (9:44:06 PM)
: It is important that I find him.
Idran1701 (9:45:10 PM): So I understand. And I can try and help you, as it would be quite the new challenge for me.
Idran1701 (9:45:23 PM)
: Though I would like some background on this person first, if you can offer it?
Idran1701 (9:45:39 PM)
: Why is it so important that you find this person?
Brodzky Zero (9:46:07 PM)
: He is in danger.
Brodzky Zero (9:47:21 PM): (First: These real creepy weirdos are after him! They talk all weird, too! And serve some weird moral code!)
Idran1701 (9:47:38 PM): *nods* I see.
Idran1701 (9:47:44 PM)
: Is there any more information you can give me?
Idran1701 (9:47:56 PM)
: Forgive my curiosity if it offends. *smiles*
Brodzky Zero (9:48:15 PM)
: I must keep as much secret as I can.
Idran1701 (9:48:58 PM): Ah. *nod*
Idran1701 (9:49:05 PM)
: This is because of the danger involved?
Brodzky Zero (9:49:09 PM)
: Yes.
Idran1701 (9:49:44 PM): Well, I must warn you that due to the nature of the sensory stone, anything which you remember for storing within it, I will also be able to experience. As will those that in the future choose to use this stone.
Brodzky Zero (9:50:11 PM)
: Okay.
Idran1701 (9:50:47 PM): Is he within Sigil, or at the least the Outlands? If he is not, even with the aid of this image, locating him will be a great deal harder.
Brodzky Zero (9:51:14 PM)
: I do not know.
Idran1701 (9:52:23 PM): *nods* Hmm.
Idran1701 (9:52:38 PM)
: The magics I might need if he is not do have some risk associated with them.
Brodzky Zero (9:52:49 PM)
: Okay.
Idran1701 (9:52:53 PM): I would ask for something in return if it proves to be necessary.
Brodzky Zero (9:53:26 PM)
: Okay.
Idran1701 (9:53:41 PM): For now, though, let us begin? Please, take a seat.
Brodzky Zero (9:54:08 PM)
: Okay.
Brodzky Zero (9:54:10 PM): *Sits down*
Idran1701 (9:54:41 PM): *takes the opposite seat, setting the colorless gemstone between them*
Idran1701 (9:55:14 PM)
: Place your hands on the stone, and close your eyes. Focus on the memory you wish to record, from the start to the finish.
Idran1701 (9:55:28 PM)
: I will help bring out the details, the things you might otherwise miss.
Brodzky Zero (9:55:46 PM)
: Okay.
Brodzky Zero (9:56:14 PM): *Does so; trying to recall KARL telling First not to follow*
Idran1701 (9:57:34 PM): *The image is in his mind, slowly brightening until it's as if he was there once more. The feel of the air, the scent of the city, the glinting of light off the tip of one of the massive blades that lines the roof of the Barracks.*
Idran1701 (9:58:17 PM)
: *It's a short memory, and so it doesn't take long for it to be fully recorded within the stone. Eventually, the image of it fades once more into the dustiness of all memories, and First feels that it is complete.*
Brodzky Zero (10:01:05 PM)
: *Opens eyes*
Idran1701 (10:01:33 PM): *the gem's shifted, having taken on an orange tint and glowing from an unseen internal light*
Idran1701 (10:02:19 PM)
: ...Hmm. Well, it certainly seems clear enough for a start. Let me see what I can accomplish now.
Brodzky Zero (10:02:44 PM)
: Okay.
Idran1701 (10:02:57 PM): *taking a bit of fur from a pocket on his robes, he begins muttering, casting some sort of spell as the fur dissolves in his hands*
Idran1701 (10:03:21 PM)
: *soon after, though, he frowns, shaking his head* I'm afraid he's nowhere in the city, nor the plane.
Idran1701 (10:03:50 PM)
: I'm going to have to contact some more powerful beings in order to discover where your friend is.
Brodzky Zero (10:03:55 PM)
: Okay.
Idran1701 (10:03:56 PM): Though as I said, this could be risky.
Brodzky Zero (10:04:01 PM)
: *Nods*
Idran1701 (10:04:09 PM): ...Hmm.
Idran1701 (10:04:32 PM)
: If you could offer another experience to store within the Sensorium, that would be an agreeable trade.
Brodzky Zero (10:05:12 PM)
: Okay.
Idran1701 (10:05:39 PM): Do you have anything especially unique in mind which might suffice?
Brodzky Zero (10:06:08 PM)
: Yes.
Idran1701 (10:07:07 PM): What would that be?
Brodzky Zero (10:07:27 PM)
: I saw a phoenix recently.
Idran1701 (10:08:15 PM): *shakes his head* Most beings we have a number of experiences of encounters with stored.
Idran1701 (10:08:28 PM)
: Many use our Sensorium to learn of such rare creatures before meeting them in person, in fact.
Idran1701 (10:08:36 PM)
: *Sensoriums

Idran1701 (10:21:46 PM): ...Hmm.
Idran1701 (10:21:58 PM)
: Were there any experiences of personal importance or meaning to you that stand out?
Idran1701 (10:22:11 PM)
: Any strongy emotional events or happenings?
Idran1701 (10:22:13 PM)
: *strongly
Brodzky Zero (10:23:20 PM)

Idran1701 (10:23:43 PM): Who would that be?
Idran1701 (10:23:57 PM)
: Have you had any personal encounters with him? Divine encounters are quite rare in our collection.
Brodzky Zero (10:25:23 PM)
: (AFK, water)
Brodzky Zero (10:31:59 PM): (BACK)
Brodzky Zero (10:34:26 PM): He created me.
Idran1701 (10:34:57 PM): *nods* Yes, many deities do take credit for creating their race.
Brodzky Zero (10:35:15 PM)
: He created me personally.
Idran1701 (10:35:29 PM): ...Well, that is interesting.
Idran1701 (10:35:39 PM)
: Do you have memory of this?
Brodzky Zero (10:35:44 PM)
: Yes.

: Okay.
Brodzky Zero (10:37:00 PM): (PERVY YOUR BEARD IS A CP VOCODER)
Idran1701 (10:37:11 PM): But before I begin, do you have any clue where he may have left to? Or what the purpose of his departure may have been?
Brodzky Zero (10:37:18 PM)
: No.
Idran1701 (10:37:32 PM): Did he follow any specific deities?
Brodzky Zero (10:37:49 PM)

Brodzky Zero (10:52:38 PM)
: *Ponders*

: *Hours pass, and after almost a full day of travel, he reaches it, and begins looking for the specific patch that marks the destination; the Bleak Abyss*
Idran1701 (11:10:16 PM)
: *The search is short, as he soon locates the correct area of shifting color, diving in and once more observing the oddity of being only half-present in the physical realm*
Idran1701 (11:10:42 PM)
: *The tunnel into the depths of the demiplane stretches before him*
Brodzky Zero (11:10:51 PM)
: (Was this the one with the mushrooms?)
Idran1701 (11:11:16 PM): (It had a bunch of plants, yeah. I can't remember if it had mushrooms specifically, though, it was so long ago.)
Idran1701 (11:11:18 PM)
: (It might be?)
Brodzky Zero (11:11:27 PM)
: (It had glowing plants I think)
Idran1701 (11:11:31 PM): (Yeah, tha was it.)
Idran1701 (11:11:34 PM)
: (*that)
Idran1701 (11:12:45 PM)
: *He's still floating for now, not yet having been forced into the full reality of this plane*
Brodzky Zero (11:12:57 PM)
: *Travelling onwards!*
Idran1701 (11:13:44 PM): *Heading forward, it isn't long before First feels the sudden twist of reality pulling him into full manifestation, dropping him to the ground*
Brodzky Zero (11:14:05 PM)
: *Stands back up! And, still, onwards.*
Idran1701 (11:14:24 PM): *Things look just slightly different here. Ahead, he can see writing on the walls, runes written in Karl's handwriting*
Brodzky Zero (11:14:42 PM)
: *Makes to observe these.*
Idran1701 (11:15:01 PM): (Trying to read them, you mean?)
Brodzky Zero (11:15:11 PM)
: (I don't think First is literate enough)
Idran1701 (11:16:13 PM): (Can he read common? I thought he learned how to read as well, but you'd probably remember better.)
Brodzky Zero (11:16:52 PM)
: (He may have.)
Brodzky Zero (11:16:58 PM): (Totally up to you)
Idran1701 (11:17:18 PM): (Well, let's just move on then. :O)
SongstressEnlil (11:17:24 PM)

Idran1701 (11:19:04 PM)
: *BOOM*
Idran1701 (11:19:28 PM)
: *A sudden explosion issues from the writing, blowing First back a few feet and scorching his armor a bit*
Idran1701 (11:20:12 PM)
: (Remember, I was going to let you move on, Pervy suggested the Int check. :D)
Brodzky Zero (11:20:21 PM)
: *Makes to stand back up, if possible.*
Idran1701 (11:20:23 PM): (15 damage.)
Brodzky Zero (11:20:33 PM)
: (Out of how many? I don't even know)
Brodzky Zero (11:20:42 PM): (I'm too used to DH now)
Idran1701 (11:20:49 PM): (Oh, I'm not supposed to even say damage because of his pain resistance I just remembered.)
Idran1701 (11:20:51 PM)
: (But out of 44.)
Idran1701 (11:21:19 PM)
: *He's a little burnt, but he doesn't see any massive wounds or bleeding or anything. And his armor seems to have kept him from getting too scraped up as he flew back along the floor.*
Brodzky Zero (11:21:23 PM)
: (Okay. Because Mik's max HP is like 17 DH HP and I have no sense of scale)
Idran1701 (11:21:27 PM): (*nod*)
Idran1701 (11:22:21 PM)
: *This doesn't seem to be the only set of writing along the tunnel by any scale, though it's all in Karl's handwriting. Just passing a glance over the rest of it doesn't seem to cause any further explosions, however.*
Idran1701 (11:22:33 PM)
: *Though neither did passing a glance over this set.*
Idran1701 (11:22:43 PM)
: (Can I assume he ignores the rest? :D)

Brodzky Zero (11:28:33 PM): (BAK)
Idran1701 (11:28:49 PM): *He heads forward, continuing on. He soon reaches the statue area, and ahead the (STILL WRONG) glow issues forth from the region of the bridge, still not quite in sight.*
Idran1701 (11:29:00 PM)
: *(THINGS ARE VERY UNCREATORLY HERE)*
Brodzky Zero (11:29:34 PM)
: *Pauses for a moment, before continuing on*
Idran1701 (11:31:26 PM): *As he steps into the mouth of the bridge tunnel, a sudden ringing issues out from all around him, like a constantly-shaken bell*
Brodzky Zero (11:31:38 PM)
: <_< >_>
Idran1701 (11:31:50 PM): *it seems to be coming from everywhere, he can't pinpoint the source*
Idran1701 (11:31:54 PM)
: *and after a minute, it stops*
Brodzky Zero (11:32:05 PM)
: *Continues onwards!*
Idran1701 (11:32:14 PM): *Onwards!*
Idran1701 (11:32:37 PM)
: *Eventually, he emerges on the bridge itself, the massive hole in reality still twirling in the sky, still shooting bolts of electricity above them at random*
Idran1701 (11:32:48 PM)
: *And on the bridge itself, not 50 feet away, stands Karl*
Idran1701 (11:32:54 PM)
: (PERVY GO)
SongstressEnlil (11:33:43 PM)
: *Looks at First, and seems to grimace from one side of his face.* ...You?
Brodzky Zero (11:33:50 PM): Hello.
Idran1701 (11:33:58 PM): (He's been gone for about a week at this point, by the way, since I know it's hard to keep track with the long delay the game had.)
Brodzky Zero (11:34:20 PM)
: (Who has?)
Idran1701 (11:34:23 PM): (Karl.)
Brodzky Zero (11:34:28 PM)
: (:) What a fun name)
SongstressEnlil (11:34:45 PM): Why are you here?
Brodzky Zero (11:34:54 PM): There are people after you.
SongstressEnlil (11:35:07 PM): Oh yes. Many people indeed. But why do you know that?
Brodzky Zero (11:35:39 PM): They attacked your friends. And then asked about you.
SongstressEnlil (11:36:13 PM): Oh yes, they would do that. It's a very neat cover. Where are they now? The friends, that is?
Brodzky Zero (11:36:49 PM): They were at that Inn.
SongstressEnlil (11:37:34 PM): *He nods.* Yes, yes?
Brodzky Zero (11:37:43 PM): Yes.
SongstressEnlil (11:38:16 PM): Ah, very well then, no need to say more. Where are they now?
Brodzky Zero (11:38:40 PM): Who?
SongstressEnlil (11:39:14 PM): Our friends, of course. It's odd you'd be here alone.
Brodzky Zero (11:39:46 PM): The Inn.
Brodzky Zero (11:39:55 PM): They did not want to try to find you.
SongstressEnlil (11:40:08 PM): Oh really? How...interesting.
SongstressEnlil (11:40:22 PM): *He grins sardonically, and shakes his head*
SongstressEnlil (11:41:22 PM): And you?
Brodzky Zero (11:41:28 PM): I am here.
Idran1701 (11:41:35 PM): (Hahaha. :D)
SongstressEnlil (11:41:45 PM)
: Yes, I did ask you not to follow me.
Brodzky Zero (11:42:07 PM): I did not know if you knew that people were after you.
SongstressEnlil (11:42:31 PM): Oh, I've been well aware. They've infilitrated the Harmonium, you know.
Brodzky Zero (11:42:45 PM): I do not.
SongstressEnlil (11:43:40 PM): *He chuckles.* It's all so obvious, once you think about it. That entire little..scene, shall we say, with the Trakaini abassador...
SongstressEnlil (11:45:37 PM): It was interesting, don't you think, to see the various coteries quietly at war with each other. I wonder how many of them even knew?
Brodzky Zero (11:48:02 PM): *Has nothing to say to that!*
SongstressEnlil (11:49:58 PM): Which did you support?
Brodzky Zero (11:50:17 PM): Which what?
SongstressEnlil (11:50:56 PM): Oh, nothing. Actually, now that I think on it, your coming is quite well timed. I need your help.
SongstressEnlil (11:51:15 PM): *Rubs his chin*
SongstressEnlil (11:52:29 PM): I'm hoping to unravel a few more of the wonders here, before they can stop me.
SongstressEnlil (11:53:01 PM): You could provide a valuable service in the name of knowledge, and no doubt glorify your creator in the process.
SongstressEnlil (11:53:09 PM): Do you see below us?
Brodzky Zero (11:53:15 PM): *Looks*
Idran1701 (11:56:15 PM): *below is a scene that matches the above area very closely. The hole extends below the bridge to a small degree, but mostly the void under the bridge is filled with the glowing red mist that's everywhere here*
SongstressEnlil (11:56:39 PM)
: I need you to jump down there. It seems a bit violent, but it's not. No different than the ether we traveled through to get there. It's just colored. But I need to measure something. Then I'll bring you up.
Brodzky Zero (11:57:02 PM): How will you bring me up?
SongstressEnlil (11:58:09 PM): A trick of the ether I've learned. Don't worry. Now go on.
Brodzky Zero (11:58:37 PM): *Looks at Karl* Why does this trick not work for you, yourself?
SongstressEnlil (11:58:49 PM): I can't be at two places at once, can I now?
SongstressEnlil (11:59:14 PM): I need to be up here, to take the measure.
Brodzky Zero (11:59:35 PM): I do not want to take the risk.
SongstressEnlil (12:00:27 AM): Do you not trust me? I, who have been nothing but a staunch friend and ally since we first met? Who has helped since we first met?
Idran1701 (12:00:36 AM): *As Karl speaks, First feels a pressure on his mind. One he's barely able to fight off. An urge to do as he says without question and jump.*
Idran1701 (12:01:03 AM)
: *It seems he must be thankful his Creator has given him special defense against mental trickery.*
Brodzky Zero (12:01:29 AM)
: Why do I need to jump?
SongstressEnlil (12:03:38 AM): *Gestures toward the mists* I must be sure that when a living thing falls, they fall at the rate of gravity. That there is even gravity here. Well, it is amazing, is it not?*

SongstressEnlil (12:08:15 AM)
: *Doesn't seem to pay it much mind.* There are other reasons as well, but I really can't translate them into Common very effectively.
Brodzky Zero (12:08:49 AM): I saw a rat earlier. I could go get it and return. It is a living thing.
SongstressEnlil (12:09:44 AM): It's not sufficient. It doesn't have the right kind of thoughts. Thoughts affect the ethereal plane.
Brodzky Zero (12:12:05 AM): I do not wish to jump.
SongstressEnlil (12:13:53 AM): Why do you not trust me?
SongstressEnlil (12:14:20 AM): I said you will be unharmed, didn't I?
Brodzky Zero (12:14:28 AM): That is true.
SongstressEnlil (12:16:09 AM): Have I not always been your friend? Did I not help you attain the phoenix feather you needed?
Brodzky Zero (12:16:53 AM): That is true.

: (First!)

Idran1701 (12:54:48 AM): (He can move now also.)
Idran1701 (12:55:13 AM)

SongstressEnlil (12:55:34 AM)
: HA! You think I can't tell? DO YOU!? How did you find this place, who do you think directed you?
Brodzky Zero (12:55:47 AM): (You know I can't make a tactical decision without a hex-grid and full color tokens indication units and obstacles)

Brodzky Zero (12:56:52 AM): Only that hand ensnared me.
SongstressEnlil (12:57:37 AM): *Drawing back hopefully before First can turn on him.*
Idran1701 (12:57:37 AM): (It is lines like that that prove Arnie should play First in the movie.)
Brodzky Zero (12:58:15 AM)
: *Moves to flank Karl; moving away from the bridge. But still in striking position*
SongstressEnlil (12:58:40 AM): *Staying on the bridge, moving further down it.*
Brodzky Zero (12:58:40 AM): (First is designed for stealth)
Brodzky Zero (12:59:02 AM): *Follows, then. With speed!*
Idran1701 (12:59:10 AM): (I'll allow it!)
Idran1701 (12:59:12 AM)

SongstressEnlil (1:01:40 AM)
: *Retreats back as far as he can, never taking his eyes off First.*
Idran1701 (1:01:58 AM): (Is he heading all the way to where the bridge starts to "crumble" if possible?)
SongstressEnlil (1:02:40 AM)
: *It's almost like looking at a different person now, his eyes are wide, his lips draw back on the left side of his face. He's shaking.*
Brodzky Zero (1:04:23 AM): (If First defeats McCain in the present won't that create a paradox?)
SongstressEnlil (1:04:34 AM): *He reaches into his pack, pulling out a length of red cloth whilst his lips move rapidly, then flourishes it, the cloth drawing into a curious line.*

Brodzky Zero (1:10:15 AM): (Also put them on the hexboard)

Brodzky Zero (1:22:45 AM)
: (KARL SKIPS HIS TURN)
SongstressEnlil (1:22:53 AM): *Karl's already staccato breathing becomes sharp as the wound takes hold.*
SongstressEnlil (1:24:09 AM): *He draws something from his pocket, almost turning the pained breathing into a giggle, then starts to speak rapidly. There are a lot of...numbers to it. Karl makes a sort of cross gesture, then pulls his hand back toward himself*
SongstressEnlil (1:24:16 AM): (Invisibility)
Idran1701 (1:24:47 AM): *Karl vanishes from First's view!*
Idran1701 (1:24:50 AM)

Idran1701 (1:25:06 AM)
: (And also when Karl stopped concentrating, the lightning rats that were left back at the edge of the bridge disappeared.)
Brodzky Zero (1:26:18 AM)
: *Begins advancing on Karl's last known location, and swings his blades.*
Idran1701 (1:27:02 AM): (Wait, my mistake, they're still there. Forgot they hang around for a while.)

Idran1701 (1:28:54 AM): *First swings twice! But Karl seems to have moved already, just after casting his spell. He felt no motion, but there's only one direction he could have gone.*
Brodzky Zero (1:28:55 AM)
: (I also imagine Karl reciting the time-travel machine code from Bender's Big Score before bwipping into invisibility.)
Idran1701 (1:28:59 AM): (:D)
Idran1701 (1:30:40 AM)

Idran1701 (1:30:50 AM)

Brodzky Zero (1:31:09 AM)

Idran1701 (1:31:44 AM): (Advance down the bridge, you mean?)
Idran1701 (1:31:49 AM)
: (Though the rats don't seem able to follow him.)
Brodzky Zero (1:32:02 AM)
: (Sure)
Idran1701 (1:32:05 AM): (They're still there, and they're still milling about in the general area he used to be.)
Brodzky Zero (1:32:20 AM)
: (Wait, if they're not giving chase, he'll stand his ground)
Idran1701 (1:32:41 AM): (*nod*)
Idran1701 (1:33:19 AM)
: (I WAS WRONG ALL ALONG)
Brodzky Zero (1:33:28 AM)
: (ABOUT WHAT)
Idran1701 (1:33:40 AM): (Karl was at the edge of the rats, not the edge of the bridge. So at the moment, First is still in the rats. So I assume he moves out of them?)
Brodzky Zero (1:33:46 AM)
: (Yes)
Brodzky Zero (1:33:52 AM): (This is why we need hexboards! >: )

Idran1701 (1:36:00 AM)
: (First!)
Brodzky Zero (1:36:48 AM)
: Stop that, Karl.
SongstressEnlil (1:37:22 AM): It's the only way I can save you, First! Can't you see? Can't you see what they've done to you, to everyone?
Brodzky Zero (1:37:37 AM): No, I can not.
SongstressEnlil (1:38:14 AM): They've turned you against me! They've turned you against the betterment of the world!
Brodzky Zero (1:38:27 AM): No one turned me against anything.
Brodzky Zero (1:39:39 AM): *Makes to spin around and remove Karl's fighting arm*
Brodzky Zero (1:39:46 AM): (TWO OR THREE ATTANKS?)
SongstressEnlil (1:39:51 AM): Who brought you here, First?
Idran1701 (1:39:55 AM): (Two last time, three this time!)
Brodzky Zero (1:39:56 AM)
: I did.
Brodzky Zero (1:40:12 AM): (That spinning thing will be negated for a few more text bits >: )
Idran1701 (1:40:17 AM): (OKAY)
SongstressEnlil (1:40:28 AM)
: But how did you get here? How did you find the way?
Brodzky Zero (1:40:31 AM): (Waiting for the RNG to warm up.)
Brodzky Zero (1:40:49 AM): I asked a person.
SongstressEnlil (1:41:32 AM): Of course. Who, WHO?!
Brodzky Zero (1:42:26 AM): A person at the sensorium.
SongstressEnlil (1:42:36 AM): ...Now do you understand?
Brodzky Zero (1:42:40 AM): No.
SongstressEnlil (1:42:46 AM): He was one of them, First.
Brodzky Zero (1:43:06 AM): Was he?
SongstressEnlil (1:43:35 AM): *He wanted your memories, didn't he?*
Idran1701 (1:43:56 AM): (Haha reflex)
Brodzky Zero (1:44:03 AM)
: (No, it was an action)
Idran1701 (1:44:15 AM): (Then Karl is cheating because it isn't his turn >:)
SongstressEnlil (1:45:18 AM)
: (He has transcribed his words into the Abyss itself. Like a dabus)
Brodzky Zero (1:45:41 AM): He wanted a memory in exchange for helping me to find you.
SongstressEnlil (1:45:49 AM): See?
Brodzky Zero (1:46:28 AM): No.
SongstressEnlil (1:46:32 AM): Don't you understand, that's what the Keeper do. They monitor, they regulate. Hehehehe...but the keepers themselves are but a pawn, too.
SongstressEnlil (1:47:00 AM): *He's definitely having some trouble standing, and he's shaking pretty badly*
SongstressEnlil (1:47:11 AM): They used you, First.
Brodzky Zero (1:47:21 AM): No they did not.
SongstressEnlil (1:47:41 AM): They used you and they used your Creator... Because they're afraid.
Brodzky Zero (1:48:04 AM): They did not use my Creator. That is an impossibility.
SongstressEnlil (1:48:28 AM): Do you believe in fate, First?
SongstressEnlil (1:48:33 AM): This is very important?
SongstressEnlil (1:48:35 AM): *.
Brodzky Zero (1:48:56 AM): It is what my Creator decides for me.
SongstressEnlil (1:49:14 AM): And what guides his decisions, First?
Brodzky Zero (1:49:33 AM): He does.
SongstressEnlil (1:49:51 AM): *Shakes his head* Look around us, First. This is the answer.
Brodzky Zero (1:50:04 AM): *Looks around.*
Idran1701 (1:50:19 AM): *nothing but glowing clouds and holes in reality here*
Brodzky Zero (1:50:29 AM)
: I do not see it.
Idran1701 (1:50:32 AM): *and it still feels very, very un-Creatory here*
SongstressEnlil (1:50:36 AM)
: This is the physical manifestation of the Impulses.
SongstressEnlil (1:50:57 AM): From this power around thought and feeling, and from that arose the gods themselves!
Brodzky Zero (1:51:09 AM): I do not like it.
SongstressEnlil (1:51:34 AM): That's because it's absolute, First. It's so far above us, above them...
SongstressEnlil (1:51:51 AM): It's fate, First. This power is fate.
SongstressEnlil (1:52:07 AM): This power is why Lilium isn't dead. Fate wouldn't let her die!
SongstressEnlil (1:52:22 AM): That's what the Kazerian was trying to do, break fate.
SongstressEnlil (1:52:46 AM): Perhaps he can, but it will not go down without a fight, as we've seen.
SongstressEnlil (1:53:22 AM): I've told you about the prophecy that we found, long ago before we were thrown from Legunda?
Brodzky Zero (1:53:26 AM): No.
SongstressEnlil (1:53:36 AM): Oh, I have. Perhaps you've forgotten.
SongstressEnlil (1:54:30 AM): It had our names, First.
SongstressEnlil (1:54:38 AM): It had our descriptions.
SongstressEnlil (1:54:48 AM): It had our langauge, which did not exist in that time!
SongstressEnlil (1:55:06 AM): This is what the Trakaini did, First. They tapped into this power.
Brodzky Zero (1:57:40 AM): Okay.
SongstressEnlil (1:57:56 AM): Do you see now, it's fate? And the keepers cannot acknowledge that. That's why they have used us.
Brodzky Zero (1:58:07 AM): I do not see how I have been used.
SongstressEnlil (1:59:13 AM): They led you here, before I could complete my work. They led us to you to begin with. *shuddering breath, and a tear starting to roll down his cheek*
Brodzky Zero (1:59:35 AM): Why did they lead you to me?
SongstressEnlil (2:00:13 AM): They want you as a weapon! They want to deny the revelation of fate, First. They want you to stop me.
Brodzky Zero (2:00:32 AM): Why lead you to me instead of leading you away from this discovery.
SongstressEnlil (2:03:28 AM): Because, First, you don't understand it. Not like I do... I've devoted my life to this!
Brodzky Zero (2:05:35 AM): Why did you attack me?
SongstressEnlil (2:07:08 AM): Because, First, they got to you...they've woven their hooks into your...I have to save you!
SongstressEnlil (2:07:15 AM): You must jump!
Brodzky Zero (2:07:21 AM): I was leaving peacefully.
SongstressEnlil (2:07:54 AM): You may have thought that. But you also thought you came on your own...*He giggles, which ends in a pained hiss*
Brodzky Zero (2:08:28 AM): I did come on my own.
Brodzky Zero (2:08:31 AM): To try to help you.
SongstressEnlil (2:10:08 AM): THEN WHY DIDN'T YOU JUMP WHEN I SAID?!
SongstressEnlil (2:10:29 AM): DON'T YOU SEE HOW THEY'RE MAKING YOU LIE TO ME?!
Brodzky Zero (2:10:36 AM): I do not.
SongstressEnlil (2:11:15 AM): Think about it. You come to help. Then you refuse to help. Then you betray me. You must see, First.
Brodzky Zero (2:12:33 AM): I do not.
SongstressEnlil (2:12:59 AM): And this, this is how they've blinded you.
Brodzky Zero (2:13:47 AM): You do not seem to be thinking properly.
SongstressEnlil (2:15:16 AM): Blinded. I've touched the truth, First. And I draw it into reality, in a way the Trakaini never could. I take this, *he gestures at the stuff about them* And makes it understandable. And they can't have that!
SongstressEnlil (2:15:25 AM): I strip away the fear, First.
Brodzky Zero (2:16:05 AM): You have lied to me. I think it is good that I did not trust you and jump. You have attacked me.
SongstressEnlil (2:16:21 AM): When did I lie? WHEN!\
Brodzky Zero (2:16:39 AM): You said you could not use magic.
SongstressEnlil (2:16:45 AM): You come to me in bad faith, then call me a liar?!
SongstressEnlil (2:16:52 AM): This isn't magic, First.
Brodzky Zero (2:17:07 AM): You made those rats appear.
Brodzky Zero (2:17:11 AM): You made that hand appear.
SongstressEnlil (2:17:13 AM): Magic is but a pale imitation of an imitation of this.
SongstressEnlil (2:17:26 AM): Don't insult me with magic!
Brodzky Zero (2:18:36 AM): I did not intend to.
SongstressEnlil (2:19:29 AM): *He giggles* See? They did it again. It would be hilarious, if not so tragic.
SongstressEnlil (2:19:44 AM): What will you do when they turn you against your Creator, First?
Brodzky Zero (2:19:50 AM): They will not.
Brodzky Zero (2:20:07 AM): That too is an impossibility.
SongstressEnlil (2:20:12 AM): You said they wouldn't trun you against me, yet look where we are.
SongstressEnlil (2:20:26 AM): First, for the sake of all that you love, you must jump.
Brodzky Zero (2:20:32 AM): No.
SongstressEnlil (2:21:05 AM): *He shakes his head* Why do you doubt me?
Brodzky Zero (2:22:00 AM): You do not seem to be thinking correctly.
SongstressEnlil (2:24:09 AM): First, why do you deny the truth before your eyes? You have the proof, the connections have been laid bear! Why do you turn away?
Brodzky Zero (2:24:24 AM): You attacked me.
SongstressEnlil (2:24:33 AM): You betrayed me!
Brodzky Zero (2:24:40 AM): I did not.
SongstressEnlil (2:24:50 AM): Did you jump?
Brodzky Zero (2:25:00 AM): No.
SongstressEnlil (2:25:41 AM): That is your betrayal. You let them poison you against me. But...I can forgive you. But you must jump.
Brodzky Zero (2:25:51 AM): I would prefer not to.
Brodzky Zero (2:25:56 AM): Do not ask me again.
Brodzky Zero (2:26:01 AM): Do not attack me further.
SongstressEnlil (2:26:45 AM): WHAT ELSE COULD I DO!?
SongstressEnlil (2:27:24 AM): YOU CAME HERE! YOU SERVED THEM! YOU BETRAYED ME!
Brodzky Zero (2:27:39 AM): I serve no one but my Creator.
SongstressEnlil (2:28:04 AM): ...Yes. You're right. You don't serve them directly. But they trick you.
Brodzky Zero (2:28:32 AM): They told me not to seek you out.
SongstressEnlil (2:28:45 AM): That's because they wanted you do.
Brodzky Zero (2:28:58 AM): I came to assist you only because I feel my Creator would want me to.
SongstressEnlil (2:29:40 AM): And they use that, First? They know about your faith. And they turn it to their needs.
Brodzky Zero (2:29:52 AM): They did not.
SongstressEnlil (2:30:03 AM): Come, let me show you something more. I'll even put up my swords, if you will.
SongstressEnlil (2:30:11 AM): *sword
Brodzky Zero (2:30:16 AM): I will not.
SongstressEnlil (2:30:23 AM): Traitor.
Brodzky Zero (2:30:27 AM): No.
SongstressEnlil (2:30:37 AM): What will you do when they turn you against your Creator, First?
Brodzky Zero (2:30:43 AM): They will not.
Brodzky Zero (2:30:46 AM): That is an impossibility.
SongstressEnlil (2:30:47 AM): Do you think they'll permit him to know?
SongstressEnlil (2:30:53 AM): What will you do?
SongstressEnlil (2:31:18 AM): They've ensnared you, they've ensnared you so badly you can't even put down your weapons!
Brodzky Zero (2:31:27 AM): Because I choose not to.
SongstressEnlil (2:31:38 AM): But why do you make that choice?
Brodzky Zero (2:31:47 AM): I do not trust you anymore.
SongstressEnlil (2:32:01 AM): And why is that? You cannot stop with a single thought.
SongstressEnlil (2:32:37 AM): Follow it to the end, and you'll see I am right.
Brodzky Zero (2:32:55 AM): You have attacked me. I should kill you and sacrifice you. But I think you can be saved.
SongstressEnlil (2:33:28 AM): No, first. You aren't thinking it through. They're distracting you. That is why you must jump.
Brodzky Zero (2:34:04 AM): *Makes to take out those legs.*

SongstressEnlil (2:35:37 AM): Remember this when you betray your creator!
SongstressEnlil (2:35:41 AM): *Leaps off the edge*
Brodzky Zero (2:35:53 AM): *Observes this.*
Idran1701 (2:36:12 AM): *Karl plummets, falling...and he actually does stop for a time*
Idran1701 (2:36:28 AM)
: *he begins rising up, quickly sucked towards the massive vortex*
Idran1701 (2:36:47 AM)

Idran1701 (2:38:38 AM): *He can feel a vague tug from space itself trying to pull him in as well, but he keeps distant enough so as to not follow Karl's fate.*
Brodzky Zero (2:39:44 AM)
: *Is it possible to snag a chunk?*
Idran1701 (2:39:58 AM): (...Hmm.)
Idran1701 (2:40:09 AM)
: (Give me a Dex/Balance check. d20)
OnlineHost (2:40:14 AM)
: Brodzky Zero rolled 1 20-sided die: 12
Idran1701 (2:40:28 AM): *...if he stretches, but it might be dangerous*
Idran1701 (2:40:36 AM)
: *He thinks he can do it, though*
Brodzky Zero (2:41:05 AM)
: *Makes to do so.*
SongstressEnlil (2:41:45 AM): (C'mon, fall!)
Idran1701 (2:41:48 AM): *reaching out, he gets his hand on one, just as he begins to feel weightless*
Idran1701 (2:42:03 AM)
: *he scrambles back in time, though*
Idran1701 (2:42:13 AM)
: (Or whatever First's version of scrambling is.)
Brodzky Zero (2:42:20 AM)
: (Scrabbling.)
Idran1701 (2:42:30 AM): (That's what I meant.)
Brodzky Zero (2:42:37 AM)
: (Scrambling is verticle, scrabbling is horizontal.)
Idran1701 (2:42:50 AM): (I shall remember this!)
Idran1701 (2:43:07 AM)
: *this close to the vortex, he feels the tug not just on his body, though; he can start to feel it on the edges of his mind*
Brodzky Zero (2:43:45 AM)
: *Draws back several feet.*
Brodzky Zero (2:43:51 AM): (WHAT IS THE BRIDGE MADE OF MOSTLY)
Idran1701 (2:44:10 AM): (Stone, it seems like. As is this chunk, though it might not even really be matter.)
Idran1701 (2:44:25 AM)
: (Given the odd properties they were expressing.)
Brodzky Zero (2:44:31 AM)
: *Begins to use his rock hammer to pry up a large chunk.*
Idran1701 (2:44:50 AM): *before long, a piece of the bridge is retrieved*
Brodzky Zero (2:44:54 AM)
: (HOW BIG)
Idran1701 (2:45:30 AM): (I was assuming you meant big enough to just fit in a hand, but it can be a little bigger without taking too much time.)
Brodzky Zero (2:45:43 AM)
: (Football sized >: )
Idran1701 (2:46:09 AM): (Yeah, that works.)
Brodzky Zero (2:46:29 AM)
: *He shakes it a bit to make sure it is, in fact, tangible.*
Idran1701 (2:46:41 AM): *It is!*
Brodzky Zero (2:46:50 AM)
: *He satchels it and then makes to head back to the inn.*
Idran1701 (2:50:40 AM): *As he leaves, he sees a familiar satchel and book tucked away in a corner of the cave, both of which he's seen Karl with many times before.*
Idran1701 (2:50:59 AM)
: (Make that behind the statues!)
Brodzky Zero (2:51:02 AM)
: *Approaches cautiously.*
Idran1701 (2:51:12 AM): *As he does...nothing happens.*
Idran1701 (2:51:16 AM)
: *They seem to be safe.*
Brodzky Zero (2:51:32 AM)
: *Dual-satchels. And satchels the book.*
Idran1701 (2:51:50 AM): *They are taken!*
Brodzky Zero (2:53:47 AM)
: *Makes to head back to that inn!*
Idran1701 (2:53:54 AM): *He leaves the tunnel, and eventually the plane, with no trouble*
Idran1701 (2:54:11 AM)
: *And by evening on the third day after his departure, he has returned.*
Idran1701 (2:54:34 AM)
: (And we will stop there for now. :O)
Brodzky Zero (2:54:40 AM)
: (KAWAII)
Brodzky Zero (2:54:46 AM): (HOW MUCH EXPERIENCE DID KARL GET)
Idran1701 (2:54:55 AM): (NONE, HE DID NOT KILL FIRST)
Idran1701 (2:55:01 AM)
: (WAIT NO I WILL GIVE HIM SOME)
SongstressEnlil (2:55:09 AM)
: (Ah, but he ruined First's moral basis)
Brodzky Zero (2:55:27 AM): (KARL LOST AN ARGUMENT WITH FIRST)
SongstressEnlil (2:55:51 AM): (NYET. FIRST ATTACKED. THAT'S LIKE DOUBLE GODWIN)
Brodzky Zero (2:56:12 AM): (Uh, dude, Karl has a german name)
SongstressEnlil (2:56:32 AM): (So it First. Or should I say, Fritz)
Brodzky Zero (2:56:39 AM): (GODDAMNIT)
Brodzky Zero (2:56:48 AM): (Well, at least he can equip his spiked helmet now.)
Idran1701 (2:57:07 AM): (500 XP for Karl. 1500 XP for First.)
Brodzky Zero (3:00:20 AM)
: (Karl shot First.)
Idran1701 (3:00:35 AM): (That was horrible, but in a good way.)
Brodzky Zero (3:00:46 AM)
: (I almost didn't capitalize it)
SongstressEnlil (3:00:54 AM): *(idgi)*
Brodzky Zero (3:01:11 AM): (What the fuck does that mean)
Idran1701 (3:01:24 AM): ("I don't get it.")
SongstressEnlil (3:01:27 AM)
: *(Shit, you hung out in Byob)*
Idran1701 (3:01:37 AM): (Greedo/Han shot first?)
Idran1701 (3:04:18 AM)
: (Also, First is now at 20776/32000.)
Brodzky Zero (3:04:28 AM)
: (Kawaii)
Idran1701 (3:05:31 AM): (Pervy! How do you feel about not having to keep Karl's big secret any more? :D)
SongstressEnlil (3:06:06 AM)
: (Shit son, I've only spilled a few beans)
Brodzky Zero (3:06:35 AM): (Good thing First is going to sacrifice all of Karl's loot.)
Brodzky Zero (3:10:13 AM): *THAT WAS FUN*
SongstressEnlil (3:10:45 AM): *YOU DIDN'T GET THE BONUS STAGE*
Brodzky Zero (3:10:51 AM): *NEITHER DID YOU*
SongstressEnlil (3:11:04 AM): *OH HO?*
Brodzky Zero (3:11:15 AM): *What?*
Brodzky Zero (3:12:17 AM): *Karl: I told you I was hardcoooooooore*
SongstressEnlil (3:13:35 AM): *Well, despite a huge flurry of terrible rolls, a mostly non-combat caster managed to do a lot of damage to First. I was surprised!*
Brodzky Zero (3:14:04 AM): *THAT HAND SAVED KARL*
SongstressEnlil (3:14:23 AM): *Shit, be happy the Suggestion spells didn't take*
SongstressEnlil (3:14:47 AM): *I kinda wanted to see how Idran was gonna save you from it.*
Brodzky Zero (3:15:02 AM): *Me too :D*
SongstressEnlil (3:15:56 AM): *I'm pleased how uniquely designed First was to ruin my plans*
Brodzky Zero (3:16:13 AM): *Rephrase that so I know what you mean*
SongstressEnlil (3:16:49 AM): *+6 vs charm*
Brodzky Zero (3:17:01 AM): *LINK ME TO FIRST"S SHEET*
Brodzky Zero (3:23:07 AM): *DO IT*
Idran1701 (3:24:20 AM): I JUST SENT IT TO YOU >:
Brodzky Zero (3:24:32 AM)
: *I SAID LINK*
Idran1701 (3:24:38 AM): PROVE IT
(3:33:32 AM) Brodzky Zero
has left the room.
(4:02:47 AM) SongstressEnlil has left the room.
