Session Start: Sat Aug 31 19:51:36 2002
[19:51] [Maris] hey
[19:51] * GoldenH snrrrkkooooooorrreee
[19:52] [GoldenH] keee... oh people are here
[19:52] * GoldenH makes self presentable
[19:52] [FiatVictrix] Amazing, no?
[19:52] [GoldenH] pretty amazing
[19:52] * FiatVictrix laughs.
[19:52] [GoldenH] not like.... spiderman amazing. but still amazing
[19:53] [FiatVictrix] Wow. That's going to be difficult.
[19:53] [FiatVictrix] Tidying up the Op symbol, are ya? ^_^
[19:53] [Maris] and so are the artifacts missing from my room as well?
[19:53] [FiatVictrix] Yes. You should be proud I am here even unto the early hour.
[19:53] [GoldenH] just the book-related artifacts
[19:54] [GoldenH] not the armor and stuff
[19:54] [Maris] ok coo
[19:54] [Maris] and what does it mean that Livian botched her seduction roll by the way?
[19:54] [GoldenH] okay....
[19:54] [GoldenH] remember I was having you roll your WP vs her APP + Socialize?
[19:55] [GoldenH] she botched the app + socialize roll
[19:55] [Maris] yeah
[19:55] [FiatVictrix] Oh, and word of warning. Jynaru's in PMS from hell kill them all, raise them from the dead and do it again ANGER OF THE RAGE(TM) mode.
[19:55] [Maris] and isn't seduction appearance plus presences?
[19:55] [GoldenH] normally but ... I am different ;)
[19:55] [Maris] mkay
[19:55] [GoldenH] she was doing it socially, instead of merely by nature of her body
[19:56] [GoldenH] which is still nice
[19:56] [GoldenH] but the way she can just make it impossbile to politely deny her satisfaction.. well...
[19:56] [Maris] yes but does the botch mean i'm not attracted her?
[19:56] [GoldenH] yes.... she has to start all over again. But she already has started over again.
[19:57] [GoldenH] so....
[19:57] [Maris] ah.
[19:57] [GoldenH] basically I was increasing the difficulty of your WP roll
[19:57] [GoldenH] so now I reset the difficulty back to one
[19:57] * DarthTom returns
[19:57] [DarthTom] hey yo
[19:57] [GoldenH] hey DT
[19:58] [GoldenH] anyhow apparently shak and vanal have hooked up so unless vanal is the kind who shares on the short-term....
[19:58] [FiatVictrix] I am amused the three deadly stooges are the ones here, barring the ghostly presence of Hik.
[19:58] [Maris] Maris isn't the kind to ask if Vanal shares or not
[19:58] [DarthTom] GH:which he is *not*
[19:59] * GoldenH chuckles
[19:59] [DarthTom] Van shares that trait with me, he goes for the long-term stuff
[19:59] [GoldenH] well there you have it maris
[19:59] [FiatVictrix] Ooooooh... dogfight! ARF!
[19:59] [GoldenH] still find out IC
[19:59] [GoldenH] it will be more entertaining that way
[19:59] [GoldenH] %_%
[20:00] [Maris] well sucks that we lost the crap
[20:00] [Maris] What did I find in the papers though by the way?
[20:00] [GoldenH] don't worry you still have a shitload of jade bars, some badass armor and stuff
[20:00] [GoldenH] oh
[20:00] [GoldenH] Well you were reading...
[20:00] [GoldenH] and a lot of the stuff seemed to be intercepted mail
[20:00] [DarthTom] ....hmmm, remember that WP roll you had Van make when Rebecca presented herself at the party....was that a hint that she may be an Exalt ?
[20:01] [FiatVictrix] Indeed.... wait... did I get to keep the Hare and the Knight?
[20:01] [FiatVictrix] I was actually reading that book IC, and I'll be annoyed if it's gone.
[20:01] * DarthTom was reading the logs out of boredom
[20:01] [GoldenH] so it wasn't ALL gone
[20:01] [GoldenH] Tabius only handed over what he had
[20:01] [GoldenH] he had the stuff found in the desk, sans the book jyn is reading
[20:01] [GoldenH] jyn had that book in his private quarters
[20:02] [GoldenH] DT.. I would answer that but there ramifications of that WP roll are still in play
[20:02] [DarthTom] so, can we tie Tab up by his thumbs ?
[20:02] [GoldenH] yes
[20:02] * DarthTom blinks
[20:02] [DarthTom] But...Van RESISTED the WP roll
[20:02] [FiatVictrix] I am going to be quite amused if the code to the ciphered book is part of the book I have ^_^
[20:02] [GoldenH] but if you do, then who will translate your stuff?
[20:02] [GoldenH] exactly, DT. Exactly.
[20:03] [DarthTom] ......
[20:03] [DarthTom] ...Maris, are you ponderign what I'm pondering ?
[20:03] [FiatVictrix] Hmmmmmm......
[20:03] [DarthTom] (For the record, I said it in that initial group meeting: "Knowing my luck, Van will hit on the ONE anathema at the party.)
[20:04] * Maris thinks
[20:04] [GoldenH] actually
[20:04] [Maris] does it involve rubbergloves, mice, and figs?
[20:04] [GoldenH] I believe it was "incognito anathema"
[20:04] [DarthTom] same dif
[20:04] [DarthTom] either way, I called it
[20:04] [GoldenH] or did you?!
[20:04] [GoldenH] maybe....
[20:04] [GoldenH] that wasn't the anathema at all?
[20:04] [DarthTom] Hey, may day was craptacular enough dude...don't fuck with ym mind
[20:04] [GoldenH] maybe she just liked the dress?
[20:04] * FiatVictrix blinks.
[20:05] [FiatVictrix] Where do I remember that from? Mice and figs........
[20:05] [GoldenH] or maybe now i'm just pulling your leg...
[20:05] [DarthTom] Maris:nonononono...you got the delivery ALL wrong
[20:05] [GoldenH] or maybe you never killed the anathema you just killed people who were enchanted with performance charms?!
[20:05] [GoldenH] :D
[20:05] [Maris] wheel of time
[20:05] [DarthTom] it goes : "I think so, Tom, but what do mice, rubber gloves, and figs have to do with anything ?"
[20:05] [GoldenH] there are a lot of maybes
[20:05] [Maris] my bad Tom
[20:06] [GoldenH] don't assume me to be unevil
[20:06] [GoldenH] never assume......
[20:06] * DarthTom nods...and clobbers GH with his customer Whuppin' Stick
[20:06] [DarthTom] thank you, JMS
[20:06] * GoldenH falls over
[20:06] [Maris] and Wheel of time the guy with the bamboo staff asked elayne to get him a few mice and a basket of figs to help quesstion a prisoner.
[20:06] [Maris] the prisoner cracked before Elayne could reach the door
[20:07] [GoldenH] at least they didn't put the prisoner in a deep hole and say "it puts on the lotion!"
[20:21] [GoldenH] man!
[20:22] [GoldenH] shit!
[20:22] [GoldenH] computer thinks .rtf file has virus?!
[20:22] * TheScreenJockey has joined #pvpexalted
[20:22] [GoldenH] hey TSJ
[20:22] [TheScreenJockey] oy
[20:23] [DarthTom] yo dude
[20:23] [TheScreenJockey] did you ever get a religious ceremony stuck in your head?
[20:23] [GoldenH] yea...
[20:23] [DarthTom] nope
[20:23] * FiatVictrix waves.
[20:23] [TheScreenJockey] I've had the Hail Mary stuck in my head all evening
[20:23] [GoldenH] mother %$@!! I can't download hikari's file because it has a incurable virus!!!!
[20:23] * Thanos has joined #pvpexalted
[20:23] [GoldenH] hey thanos
[20:24] [GoldenH] TSJ you should try looking at your deleted items in your email client
[20:24] [DarthTom] yo
[20:24] [TheScreenJockey] The Catholics get all the cool prayers and ceremonies
[20:24] [DarthTom] TSJ:Yes, we do
[20:24] [Thanos] Thought it would be good on your nerves if I was here early ;-)
[20:24] [GoldenH] yea....
[20:24] [TheScreenJockey] i should?
[20:24] [GoldenH] yes
[20:24] [Thanos] Did you get my charactersheet?
[20:25] [GoldenH] find a pieces of spam that says "Increase cock size 20%" and read it, hail marys will be all gone
[20:25] [GoldenH] uhh I think so thanos...
[20:25] [FiatVictrix] No...
[20:25] [FiatVictrix] Incurable virus my ass.
[20:25] [FiatVictrix] Shunt it to a secondary account, snag it to A drive on the other, less god computer.
[20:25] [GoldenH] I can't download it at all
[20:26] [GoldenH] I guess I could try forwarding it to yahoo mail
[20:27] [FiatVictrix] Oh, yeah, there's a tiny leetle error on my charsheet, GH. Up the accuracy on kick by one on the quickstats.
[20:27] [FiatVictrix] Try forwarding it.
[20:27] [Thanos] We were suppost to have QuickStats?
[20:28] [GoldenH] ok
[20:28] [GoldenH] I will complain if there is something wrong with the character sheets.. as soon as I get a bloody chance to read them
[20:28] [GoldenH] ETA on the reading: 4 days
[20:29] [FiatVictrix] That's just something I did. Stats for my various attack forms.
[20:30] [FiatVictrix] I ngelected to factor in a specialty.
[20:30] [TheScreenJockey] i have to type up my char sheet on the other computer, otherwise i'd do it right now
[20:30] [Thanos] AH...... mine are pretty easy, Sword or Spell ;-)
[20:31] [GoldenH] hmmm just waiting for the immaculates now?
[20:31] [FiatVictrix] Bow, axe, kick, punch.
[20:32] [Thanos] Kick, Punch? what are those?
[20:33] [DarthTom] sword, (soon to get) bow, shield, kick, punch
[20:33] [TheScreenJockey] "Kick" actually has different stats . . . which I don't use in my games
[20:33] [GoldenH] unarmed attacks :p
[20:33] [FiatVictrix] Seems so.
[20:33] [TheScreenJockey] I pretty much figure all basic unarmed strikes are the same
[20:33] [GoldenH] uhh all dynasts have a 1 in brawl or MA so everyone should have kick/punch
[20:33] * FiatVictrix begins to work himself into a rage... think of Bud Selig... Benoit loses... more useless college football pre-empting everydamnthing...
[20:34] [GoldenH] He gave it away man! He gave away the BOOK!
[20:34] [DarthTom] okay, opinion on what music to plaY: Nine inch Nails, Barenaked Ladies, Dropkick muphys, or Cowboy Bebop ?
[20:34] [GoldenH] raaage!
[20:34] [TheScreenJockey] dude, my year revolves around the football season
[20:34] [DarthTom] *Murphys
[20:34] [FiatVictrix] I don't much care for the stat-split, as they don't do stats for elbow-strikes, headbutts, or knees...
[20:34] [TheScreenJockey] Rage Against the Machine
[20:34] [DarthTom] don't have
[20:34] [TheScreenJockey] oh no, even better, White Zombie
[20:34] [DarthTom] don't have
[20:34] [TheScreenJockey] damn you
[20:34] [GoldenH] for tonight? BNL will probably be more appropriate for the first half.
[20:34] [GoldenH] then NIN
[20:34] [DarthTom] okay then...what CD ?
[20:34] [TheScreenJockey] Kiss?
[20:35] [FiatVictrix] I like some college football. But there is way to much of it when out of the few channels I bring in over my atenna I can expect 90% to have college footbal.
[20:35] [GoldenH] help me I've got no soul to sell....
[20:35] [TheScreenJockey] Well, ABC is firmly in ESPN's pocket
[20:35] [DarthTom] gordon, Born on a pirate ship, maybe you should drive, Stunt, or Disc One ?
[20:35] [TheScreenJockey] or is it the other way around? i can never tell
[20:35] * DarthTom just listened to Maroon, so that one is out
[20:35] [FiatVictrix] The books...GONE.
[20:36] [TheScreenJockey] What else is on that's worth watching anyway?
[20:36] [DarthTom] jack squat
[20:36] [DarthTom] and jack left town
[20:36] [TheScreenJockey] What bothers me are pregame shows and postgame shows . . . and halftime shows . . . i can't stand those
[20:36] [FiatVictrix] Goddamned arrogant cowardly prick gives away the books I went down in the SEWERS!! THE SEWERS FOR!!!!!!!
[20:36] * FiatVictrix slams his head against the wall.
[20:36] [FiatVictrix] YOU WANT A PIECE OF ME?!?! HUH?!?!? HUUUUUUH!??!?!??!?!!
[20:36] [FiatVictrix] Ah... rage... she is like a sweet sweet nectar.
[20:36] [Thanos] Listens to Metallica Master of Puppets.
[20:36] [FiatVictrix] Yeah. Drop the talk, give me the football.
[20:37] [TheScreenJockey] I don't mind a little chatter to fill in the time between plays . . . but I don't need an hour of it beofre every game
[20:37] [FiatVictrix] Falcons 4-0 in preseason... who woulda thunk it
[20:37] [TheScreenJockey] Well they've got FSU alumnus Warrick Dunn
[20:38] [FiatVictrix] Of course, they'll start off 0-1 regular, with the first game in Green Bay, home of Farve who they had their hands on yet traded him away...
[20:38] * FiatVictrix :Rage level....60%
[20:38] [TheScreenJockey] i think it's Favre . . . it's only pronounced Farve
[20:39] * Disconnected

[20:44] [GoldenH] argh sisters
[20:44] * GoldenH is now known as Storyteller
[20:44] [TheScreenJockey] they're worse than gremlins, i hear
[20:44] * **cicada** dances
[20:44] [Storyteller] yes they are
[20:44] [TheScreenJockey] I wouldn't know . . . I've only ever had gremlins
[20:44] * TheScreenJockey is now known as Shakel
[20:44] [DarthTom] ...damn, should not have mentioned anythign Buffy...visions of Faith and Cordy are dancing in my head
[20:45] * DarthTom is now known as Vanal
[20:45] * FiatVictrix is now known as Jynaru
[20:45] [Maris] Why Cordy?
[20:45] [Maris] Faith and Buffy
[20:45] [Maris] Mostly Buffy though.
[20:45] [Vanal] Nah, too skinny
[20:45] [Vanal] Cordy, dude...
[20:45] [Shakel] because Charisma Carpenter is hot?
[20:45] [Storyteller] Buffy ain't my thing
[20:45] [Vanal] Well put, bud
[20:45] [Shakel] and she has a cool name?
[20:46] [Storyteller] Now, Faith and Willow
[20:46] [Jynaru] Fiat, at one point, has listened to damn near everything.
[20:46] [Vanal] yum...Faith
[20:46] [Vanal] willow is...'eh'
[20:46] [Storyteller] true
[20:46] [Vanal] sometimes cute, soemtimes not...
[20:46] [Storyteller] better than buffy though
[20:46] [Vanal] true
[20:46] [Shakel] You've just gotta see Alyson Hannigan at her best
[20:46] [Shakel] like her FHM interview
[20:46] [Storyteller] and that other girl? *gah*
[20:46] [Vanal] seen 'em, find 'em 'eh'
[20:46] [Vanal] GH:Anya ?
[20:46] [Storyteller] I actually didn't like her FHM interview
[20:46] [Storyteller] DT: sounds right
[20:47] * Thanos is now known as Tabius
[20:47] [Maris] FHM interview?
[20:47] [Vanal] .how pathetic is this ? A saturday night, and we're discussing which buffy chick is the hottest
[20:47] [Storyteller] No no not Anya
[20:47] [Shakel] Well I'll have you know I cant stand the show . . . but the chicks are hot
[20:47] [Storyteller] Anya is HOT
[20:47] [Storyteller] the lesbo

[20:47] * Storyteller gives tumbs down to tara
[20:48] [Storyteller] too chunky

[20:48] [Storyteller] and stoned

[20:48] [Storyteller] dude that isn't normal
[20:48] [Storyteller] I'm a college guy, I know what normal is
[20:48] [Vanal] dude...she wasn't chunky

[20:48] [Vanal] and I can prove it
[20:48] [Storyteller] she was so washed out
[20:48] [Storyteller] it was just bad

[20:49] * Vanal scratches his chin

[20:54] * manxcat has joined #pvpexalted
[20:54] [Storyteller] hey manx

[20:55] [Storyteller] that's not good
[20:55] [Shakel] just pointing that out is all
[20:55] [Vanal] just makes her tall and attractive, instead of short and attractive
[20:55] * Retrieving #pvpexalted info...

[20:59] [Storyteller] hold off on the innuendo, we don't want that snake to come here
[20:59] [Tabius] Snake? Hungry? erm..... I think Horney is the opperative term there ;-)

[21:00] [Vanal] of course
[21:01] [Jynaru] Wait a few.
[21:01] [Shakel] Columbian red-tail, yeah . . . he's a good 6 feet now
[21:01] [Tabius] Yeah
[21:01] [Shakel] they get up to 8 or 9
[21:01] [Storyteller] any Q's before we start?
[21:01] * Vanal is picturing Van fuming voer the situation...LITERALLY
[21:01] [Vanal] Where do babies come from ?
[21:01] * Storyteller points at shakel
[21:01] [Shakel] can i buy a 5th dot of Brawl?
[21:01] [Tabius] Does Tab still have that cloud of innability about him?]
[21:01] [Storyteller] if you have the XP
[21:01] [Shakel] well that i do!
[21:01] [Storyteller] ok
[21:01] [Storyteller] Innability?
[21:02] [Storyteller] oh speaking of clouds you can indeed take SAE instead
[21:02] [Jynaru] Not bad... I remember a science teacher of ours had constrictor of some sort, and the time she tried to feed it the rat and it wasn't interested.
[21:02] [Vanal] Nah, he's still got the cloud of 'pansy-ass' aorund him, though *g*
[21:02] [Vanal] (sorry dude, just getting in character)
[21:02] [Shakel] yeah, sometimes they just don't feel like eating . . .
[21:03] * Jynaru enjoyed watching the rat sit literally on top of the snake.
[21:03] [Tabius] Thank you good sir,
[21:03] [Shakel] in fact, if you ever try to buy a snake, ask if its a "good eater" . . . sometimes you'll get one that's almost impossible to feed
[21:04] * Vanal will never buy a snake...the only pets he watns have either feathers or fur
[21:04] [Shakel] some prefer chicks or rabbits or whatever, too
[21:04] [Jynaru] Yeah, it wasn't hungry. Always liked snakes, though. Don't think they'd make great pets, but interesting nonetheless.
[21:05] [Shakel] they're pretty much like fish that you can actually take out of the tank
[21:05] [Shakel] they don't do much more than fish, tho
[21:05] [Tabius] Great, smelly things than can crawl instead of just swim ;-)
[21:05] [Jynaru] I just don't have room. Got a nice aquarium, though. Relaxing to watch.
[21:05] [Shakel] they have no smell
[21:05] [Shakel] :)
[21:05] [Shakel] one of the bonuses
[21:06] [Shakel] and they only excrete waste about as often as you feed them . . . 2-4 times a month
[21:06] [Shakel] and chicks dig 'em
[21:06] [Jynaru] Hard to find if they ever get loose, though.
[21:06] [Tabius] Dang, that is cool :-)
[21:07] * Vanal will hang onto his cat, thankyouverymuch
[21:07] [Vanal] I want nothing that slithers getting near Bart *g*
[21:07] [Shakel] well i WOULD have a dog, but my place doesn't allow fur-bearing pets
[21:07] [Shakel] only fish, birds, and some reptiles
[21:07] [Jynaru] Chicks dig the pet snake?
[21:07] [Jynaru] Hmmmmmm.......... I can always use more chick points.
[21:08] [Tabius] I prefer no pets actually :-)
[21:08] [Shakel] they do . . . even chicks that don't actually like snakes dig the fact that you have one
[21:08] [Jynaru] Same here. Landlord hs heavy allergies.
[21:08] [Shakel] they are the most phallic of pets, after all . . . :)
[21:09] [Shakel] and they remind Christians of original sin :)
[21:09] [Jynaru] Hey, baby, wanna see my python? No, no. come back, my pet snake!!......damn.
[21:09] [Tabius] HAHAHAHA........
[21:09] [Storyteller] keep waiting?
[21:09] [Tabius] erm..... well..... dang it.
[21:10] [Jynaru] Hmmm... flip a coin, GH. Heads we wait, tails we don't.

[21:10] [Storyteller] heads = 1 tails = 2
[21:10] [Storyteller] Storyteller : 1d2, 2 , Total: 2
[21:10] [Storyteller] !roll 1d2
[21:10] [Vanal] we don't
[21:10] [Tabius] Off we go then
[21:10] [Storyteller] okay
[21:11] [Storyteller] Are you still in the arena or have you found somewhere less public to argue?
[21:11] [Vanal] less public, I'd imagine ?
[21:11] [Jynaru] As we left off, I was screaming at them in the arena bleachers, right?
[21:11] [Storyteller] yea
[21:11] [Storyteller] do we want to cut to the less public area?
[21:11] * Vanal does NOT need Peleps Renig to see *this*
[21:11] [Storyteller] and if so, where is it?
[21:11] * Tabius stands there all but seathing inside that he was taken advantage of.
[21:12] [Jynaru] We'd definitely want a less public place.
[21:12] [Jynaru] Would the barracks work?
[21:12] [Jynaru] After all, it'd have thick walls, people you MIGHT could trust...
[21:12] [Vanal] *not* the barracks
[21:12] [Vanal] Van doens't trust renig father than he can throw him
[21:12] [Vanal] *farther
[21:13] [Tabius] My rooms or the Cathak manners?
[21:13] [Vanal] *manors
[21:13] [Vanal] sounds good
[21:13] [Jynaru] Well, honestly, no one's going to trust my offer of Chez Ledaal.
[21:14] * Shakel would've suggested a busy tavern
[21:14] * Tabius looks to Vanal, does an about face and heads to the manners.
[21:14] [Jynaru] which one, though?
[21:14] [Jynaru] WHerever you got supposedly brainscrewed isn't the smartest place t talk about it, since who knows wha the offender might have done there.
[21:15] [Shakel] it's all about the nearest busy tavern . . .
[21:15] [Shakel] or brothel
[21:15] [Shakel] or dinner theater
[21:15] [Vanal] Mybe later, dearie
[21:15] [Shakel] no one notices anyone in those places - minding your own business is an art
[21:16] * Maris stays with the others having finally put away his claws.
[21:16] * Vanal walks down, still quite red and fuming
[21:17] * Shakel follows with a slight limp, still rubbing that spot where Jyn's elbow came down
[21:18] * FiatVictrix has joined #pvpexalted
[21:18] * Jynaru has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
[21:18] * FiatVictrix is now known as L_Jynaru
[21:19] * Maris mumbles to himself as he goes trying not to get pissed and start hitting people randomly.
[21:19] * L_Jynaru is now known as Jynaru
[21:20] [Storyteller] So... Cathak house?
[21:20] * Maris guesses so
[21:20] [Jynaru] (We now join your regularly scheduled show, in progress)
[21:20] [Vanal] sounds good
[21:20] [Jynaru] Apprently so.
[21:21] [Shakel] AS long as there's beverage available
[21:21] [Jynaru] I will take the time to re-arm and armor, though.
[21:22] * Rallan has joined #pvpexalted
[21:22] * Maris get's there and sits in the nearest available seat and looks to Tabius.
[21:22] * Tabius upon arrival orders the servants to prepair a small feast for the gathered Blooded and provide wine and ale as needed.
[21:23] * Vanal sits, and tosses down the first drink that comes his way
[21:23] [Maris] "So what are we going to do about this then?"
[21:23] * Shakel enjoys whatever food is offered and several more ales than you'd think possible
[21:24] * Jynaru simply glares at any servant who comes near, and touches nothing.
[21:24] [Vanal] "Aside from stringing our *esteemed* sorceror up by his thumbs, you mean ?"
[21:24] [Tabius] "Find the badguys and pin them down till the IO's can bring their handy dandy artifacts and encase them in Amber.
[21:24] [Shakel] between gulps of ale, "it's not his fault, y'know."
[21:24] [Maris] "So he says."
[21:25] [Maris] "Though I'm inclined to believe him."
[21:25] [Shakel] "Story sounds pretty solid to me. These things happen."
[21:25] * Vanal downs another drink and calms himself down
[21:25] [Maris] "It does mean we need to find whoever took him. Since the Anathema have been able to change shapes before It stands to reason they will again.'
[21:25] [Vanal] "fine then, we track the son of a bitch down and string *him* up."
[21:26] [Maris] "I think our first order of business is to check the room to see what's happened there since we left it."
[21:26] * Vanal leans back in his chauir
[21:26] [Jynaru] "Speaking of which, now that we're here, why don't you give us the story again, Tabius, with as much detail as possible?"
[21:27] * Maris nods to Tabius
[21:27] * Shakel beckons the most handsome servant for another ale and more food
[21:27] [Jynaru] "For example, what exactly you'd found so far, what you were doing when this so-called compulsion hit, and such?"
[21:27] [Tabius] "Well, I was doing what I had set out to do, figure out what the little toys did and see what was in the books. Upon initial investigation the little toys looked like nothing special, but perhaps were part of a puzzle that once put together might do something significant.
[21:27] * Vanal gets a third drink, and sips at it
[21:28] [Tabius] I set them aside and looked into the black book, or well was it the white one, one of the books. It was written in some kind of code and I was just starting to figure it out when I realized that I had given something to this guy sitting next to Tala.
[21:29] [Maris] "Where were you doing th studying?"
[21:29] [Shakel] !ex 8 (checking Shakel's drinking tolerance tonight)
[21:29] [Storyteller] Shakel : !ex 8 (checking Shakel's drinking tolerance, 3, 9, 9, 6, 2, 2, 2, 5, Successes : 2
[21:29] [Tabius] My quarters, where you had left me before you went to the arena after you had looked at those letters.
[21:30] [Maris] "You think anyone might have seen you between here and the arena?"
[21:30] [Storyteller] Cicada returns, and after ensuring that "everything is all right", promptly retires to her quarters, allowing you to be served by the other house slaves.
[21:30] [Storyteller] She does not seem badly injured
[21:30] [Tabius] The code was written in old realm. A detail that should not go unnoticed.
[21:30] * Jynaru pays careful attention, comparing the story here to the story at the arena.
[21:30] [Storyteller] Tala listens quietly, abstaining from the drink
[21:31] [Tabius] "I would guess that there was half of a city that saw me pass by, its not like my Skin goes unnoticed when I do not apply the concealing powerder.
[21:31] * Vanal rolls his eyes at that (Mutter) "Gee, *there's* a shock."
[21:31] [Shakel] waiting for her 4th drink, "Maybe we should take a look at those books. You've been spending an awful lot fo time with them."
[21:31] [Maris] Maybe someone saw someone doing something to you. Somehow activating the spell that got cast on you?"
[21:32] * Jynaru frowns.
[21:33] * Tei enters the room and quickliy makes his way over to the group looking verry upset and out of breath"
[21:33] [Jynaru] "I have the feeling Tabius here was alone, when it apparently happened... isn't that right?"
[21:33] [Tabius] "I have a good idea what happened. It was some kind of trap spell that took effect while one decoded the original manuscript.
[21:33] [Storyteller] A servant offers everybody refills, and has placed snacks in easy to reach places around the room before leave you to your privacy
[21:34] [Vanal] "A *what* ?"
[21:34] [Tei] "I'm afraid I have some rather disturbing news."
[21:34] [Storyteller] Tala nods to Tei as he enters, then waits calmly for the news
[21:34] [Shakel] "Yeah, see, that's what I figured. The books . . . huh? Tei?"
[21:34] [Tabius] "Trap Spell. Something that one casts on an object, portal, seal, and it goes off when a certain thing happens.
[21:35] [Tabius] "Tie, Good to see you. Whats happened?"
[21:35] * Jynaru laughs ironicaly.
[21:35] [Jynaru] "AH, more good news. So, Tei, what is it? Speak!"
[21:36] [Maris] "Just great."
[21:36] [Tei] "I was meditatiing in my chambers when a spirit appeared to me with the message that the anathema has resurfaced not 2 days from this city."
[21:36] * Vanal downs the rest of his drink in one shot
[21:36] [Vanal] "Fuck."
[21:36] [Tabius] "Great, more travel.
[21:37] [Shakel] "2 days away? So he's . . .leaving?"
[21:37] [Maris] "Where?"
[21:37] [Tei] "To the west about 2 days journey, in a small village."
[21:38] [Maris] "We need to get to him fast then. Did it say anything about him at all?"
[21:38] [Jynaru] "Oh, joy! We get to chase down yet another dragons-cursed anathema."
[21:38] [Vanal] "Let me guess, the spirit levied anothe r'stop him or the city is fried' tjreat."
[21:38] [Shakel] "we need to? . . . Can't someone else? . . . There's no one closer?"
[21:39] [Tei] "No. It appeared to be in a hurry. The fastest way there would be to join the wild hunt."
[21:39] [Vanal] "Oh, for joy."
[21:39] [Tabius] Could not the Hunt take care of it themselves?
[21:39] [Maris] "Well I want to make sure that the damn thing get's captured."
[21:40] [Tabius] Its the problem of everybody running in the same direction getting in each others ways.
[21:40] [Tei] to tab"I'm sure they could but scince I will have to let tell them about it I'm sure I will be asked to go."
[21:40] [Shakel] "Sweet Hesiesh' Brow, you just never rest, do you Mar?"
[21:40] [Maris] "I try not to."
[21:41] [Jynaru] "Yes, indeed. Still, the top priority has to be the capture of the Anathema."
[21:41] * Vanal sighs
[21:41] [Maris] "do we still have the puzzle pieces thing?"
[21:41] [Vanal] "I assume I'll be mobilizxing ym Talon again ?"
[21:41] * Shakel laughs . . . "capture"
[21:41] * Vanal scoffs
[21:41] [Vanal] "Capture ?!"
[21:41] [Storyteller] [Tala] "If indeed the spirits still believe we intend to keep our part of the bargin, they may expect us to personally deal with the Anathema."
[21:41] [Vanal] "LEt's find some way to kill him so that he STAYS dead."
[21:42] * Vanal scowls
[21:42] [Maris] "No idea how to do that right now Vanal."
[21:42] [Shakel] "I hear quartering the new thing . . ."
[21:42] [Tabius] There is no option Vanal. He must be encased or all the people of his decent must be killed.
[21:42] [Maris] "They couldn't figure it out back in the first age you really think they could figure it out now?"
[21:43] [Tei] "I must notify the order, soon. Who will go with me?"
[21:43] * Vanal bites back an acid-tongued remark
[21:43] [Storyteller] [Tala] "The Immaculate Order will be able to contain the Anathema once they have been restrained..... we have been trained for this."
[21:43] [Storyteller] Tala nods and stands
[21:43] [Tabius] "Well I guess we should get moving. Tie, how bad is Sable?
[21:43] * Jynaru grins.
[21:43] [Jynaru] "It's easier to hit a non-moving target, isn't it? I, for one, would also enjoy seeing the effects of the toy the Wyld Hunt brought with them."
[21:43] [Maris] "I'll go with you. Better then mucking around some damn stable. Besides maybe they'll heal me so I don't have to be so damned injured all the time."
[21:44] [Maris] ((sewer not stable))
[21:44] [Tei] "she should be fine apparently it looked much worse than it is."
[21:44] [Storyteller] Tala nods slowly, seemingly not surprised...
[21:44] [Shakel] "So we leave . . . first thing tomorrow?" (i hope i hope i hope)
[21:44] [Tabius] "Why tomorrow?
[21:44] [Maris] "Now would be better."
[21:44] [Jynaru] "I believe I'll go as well. This should be quite the show."
[21:45] [Maris] "The longer the anathema has to run the harder it will be to track.
[21:45] [Shakel] "Well, y'know, it's two days away . . . what's one good night's sleep gonna hurt?"
[21:45] * Vanal sighs "I may as well see this damned thing through to the end."
[21:45] [Tei] "As soon as the order is ready to move, likely immediately since they are allready ready to mobilize"
[21:45] [Storyteller] It is rather early afternoon....
[21:46] [Jynaru] (Why s it 'Business started playing as soon as I got the message about Anathema version X.0?)
[21:46] [Maris] "Let's go then."
[21:46] [Storyteller] (I have badass psychic powers)
[21:46] [Vanal] (mutter) "There'd better be some silver lining to all this at some point"
[21:46] [Maris] "We'll figure out what to do with the books when we get back."
[21:46] * Jynaru nods. "The sooner we get to the Anathema, the less chance it has to grow in power."
[21:46] [Tabius] "Sure there is Vanal, you get to hang out with me longer ." Tabius smiles real big.
[21:46] [Tei] "let us go to the orders tent's then." begins to walk off rather briskly
[21:47] [Storyteller] Tala follows.....
[21:47] [Shakel] "Two days," pouring herself a 5th ale, "Are we getting a wagon or something for this?"
[21:47] [Tabius] "I will be there after I get some things from the suite in the castle.
[21:48] [Tei] ""the order will provide all we need." he calls over his shoulder."
[21:48] * Maris nods
[21:48] * Vanal pointedly ignores Tabius
[21:48] * Maris heads for the order's encampment as he goes.
[21:48] * Jynaru will head to his place to get a good horse, and get the heavy artillery.
[21:48] [Vanal] "If we mobilize my Talon, we'll have a few wagons.
[21:49] * Tei is out the door
[21:49] * Vanal gets up and tries to see if he *can* mobilize his talon for the trip
[21:49] [Storyteller] Tala is at his side
[21:49] [Shakel] "Couldn't we just borrow one?"
[21:49] * Rallan has quit IRC (Quit: )
[21:49] * Maris will go with Tala and Tei and ask them if they could find some healers when they got to the camp.
[21:50] [Vanal] "Why borrow when you've already got a few dozen ?"
[21:50] [Tabius] "Your talon will slow us down since they are not mounted. As well, if the Anethema have massively damaging spells they would not survive, where we might.
[21:50] * Vanal scowls
[21:50] [Vanal] "The bloody immaculate forces aren't mounted, will it really make a difference ?"
[21:50] [Maris] "And someone get me a horse!"
[21:50] * Maris yells at scurrying mortals.
[21:51] [Tabius] Bring any we can mount though my brother.
[21:51] * Vanal scowls and at least tries to get one of his scalemasters to come with him
[21:51] [Tabius] "The Anethema have a 2 day head start, we have to get there quickly.
[21:51] [Jynaru] (I'll take care of that, Maris. Any friend of mine deserves a good horse.)
[21:51] [Storyteller] [cought, ST magic: Cicada needs to stay in the city tonight]
[21:51] * Vanal will need a horse, as well.
[21:51] * Tabius runs off to the castle to get his breastplace and some raw materials.
[21:52] [Tabius] (*Cough, already thought so :-)*)
[21:52] * Vanal sends a servant off to fetch a scalemaster OTHER than Renig
[21:52] * Shakel is the last to leave the table, and gets her horse ready . . .
[21:52] [Tabius] (*I swear we go through more horses :-p*)
[21:52] [Shakel] "Rather have a wagon. This is so horrible. Maris SO owes me one."
[21:54] * Vanal gets some gear together, and get himself a self bow and some broadhead arrows in addition
[21:55] [Storyteller] okay... everyone gets their shit together.....
[21:55] * Shakel looks tired and upset and makes it a point to glare at Maris
[21:55] * Vanal offers Shak a cigar ?
[21:55] * Shakel fakes a smile and accepts
[21:56] * Vanal saddles up, looking just as fretful and nervous as he was in the first encounter
[21:56] * Maris is stalking at a fairly fast pace through the IO encampment with a very annoyted look on his own face.
[21:56] * Tabius gets there a bit out of breath after lugging his breastplate across half the city with his bronzed self.
[21:57] [Vanal] "Gettign a bit flabby there, sorceror ?"
[21:58] [Storyteller] Okay... when you arrive at the east gate, Tala and Tei have discovered that a Talon will be provided in the morning... they are still waiting for the Tepet Legion to show, and think a talon of monks, along with your help, will be enough to take the Anathema down.
[21:58] [Maris] "The Morning!"
[21:58] * Vanal still dislikes the idea of not bringing alogn hsi own Talon
[21:58] [Tabius] "Not exactly used to the extra 40 pounds, let alone the extra 100.
[21:58] * L_Jynaru has joined #pvpexalted
[21:58] [Maris] "That's too damned long!"
[21:58] * Shakel looks even more tired and upset, if at all possible
[21:58] [Storyteller] Cicada accompanies her lord quietly
[21:59] * Maris roars at whoever gave him the news.
[21:59] * Vanal rubs his temples
[21:59] * Jynaru has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
[21:59] [Shakel] "What's another 12 hours, Mar? We'll be beter off in the morning anyway."
[21:59] * L_Jynaru is now known as Jynaru
[22:00] [Storyteller] [Tala] "Maris, they are not ready to move out until tommarow at best... They are brining together a special talon in order to assist us.. we can wait until morning for that."
[22:01] [Maris] "If that damned anathema runs for it another 12 hours could be enough to keep his trail so cold it will take weeks to catch up to him!"
[22:01] [Tei] "I doubt the demon is going anywhere."
[22:01] [Shakel] "We'd only get in a few miles before we'd have to camp for the night anyway. Anathema DO sleep, don't they?"
[22:01] [Tabius] The Daemon is likely headed here!.
[22:01] [Maris] "Or to the mine!"
[22:02] * Vanal sighs and looks around
[22:02] [Shakel] "Even better. Might as well let him tire himself out coming to us."
[22:02] [Jynaru] "How often did we sleep there for a while?"
[22:02] [Storyteller] [Tala] "Monks have already been dispatched to the mines, and if they dare come here, they will have two full legions to deal with. I doubt they are so foolish."
[22:03] [Maris] "They're best bet is to either run like hell or try and get an army."
[22:03] * Vanal wonders where the HELL the scalemaster he asked for is
[22:03] [Maris] "Either way time is of the essence in getting to them."
[22:03] [Shakel] "And how much good did it do you, really? If the Anathema is running all night, it'll be that much easier to deal with him if we're well-rested."
[22:03] [Vanal] "Oh, an ARMY. Thanks for the positivie goddamne dmental image, Maris."
[22:03] [Tei] "all we can do is wait for the hunt to move, and then move with it. We stand no chance on our own and the hunt is absolutely not budging untill the morrow."
[22:04] * Vanal nods
[22:04] * Maris growls
[22:04] [Shakel] "And I hapen to LIKE sleep."
[22:04] [Vanal] "If that is the case. I will see if I can obtain a scale or two of my men."
[22:04] [Storyteller] As you discuss this at the East Gate, a young woman arrives. Her blonde hair is the first you see, and then that her face is a dark red complexion as she draws near... she has a entire scale of troops marching in line as she brings her company to a halt in front of Vanal. "Lord Cathak Vanal. I am ready for your command."
[22:04] [Maris] "Well get me a dragon damned healer then!"
[22:04] * Vanal nods
[22:04] * Jynaru isn't particularly happy either.
[22:05] [Vanal] "Or perhaps that will not be necessary. It's good to see you scalemaster."
[22:05] * Tabius smiles nicely at the lady Talon commander.
[22:05] [Storyteller] She salutes you.
[22:05] * Vanal returns the salute
[22:05] * Jynaru takes a look at Vanal.
[22:06] [Storyteller] "And you, talonlord."
[22:06] [Jynaru] "Good timing, no?"
[22:06] * Tei complies with maris's request
[22:06] [Storyteller] She nots to Jynaru. "Timing is very important in the legions...."
[22:06] * Tabius returns the solute as well.
[22:06] [Vanal] "for those of you who are not in the loop, this is scalemaster Cathak Thynus Irin. I asked for volunteers, and have got some, it seems."
[22:06] * Vanal smiles
[22:07] [Shakel] "So are we not leaving until tomorrow?"
[22:07] [Storyteller] The salute wasn't directed at you, Tabius, she looks at you strangely before continuing to Vanal. "Lord Vanal, my troops are ready to depart whenever you command."
[22:07] [Vanal] "Unless the others feel that 9 Blodded and 25 men are insufficient ?"
[22:07] * Maris nods to the scalemaster his rage lessons as he appraises her in typical cynis fashion.
[22:07] [Tabius] "Perhaps Vanal, you, Thynus and myself could go make a base camp a half days march outside the city and wait for the others there?
[22:07] * Jynaru chuckles.
[22:07] [Jynaru] "Always good to have legionnaires on your side."
[22:08] * Vanal nods to Jyn
[22:08] [Maris] "And that should do well."
[22:08] * Maris says nodding.
[22:08] * Vanal sours, not relishing the prospect of spending time in close proximity to Tabius
[22:09] [Vanal] "We should make as much haste as possible."
[22:09] * Tabius sweetens knowing that Vanal is seathing inside.
[22:09] [Storyteller] Cicada stays behind her lord.
[22:10] [Maris] "Where's the damn healer and my Horse!"
[22:10] [Shakel] "Maybe I'm mistaken, but I always thought the Hunt were trained for this sort of thing . . . and they seem to have no problem with leaving in the morning."
[22:10] * Jynaru talks very quietly with Vanal for a minute or so.
[22:10] [Shakel] "what IS all the hurry? You boys are just so impatient."
[22:10] [Tabius] "Cicada, you should return to the Cathak manor and prepair for our return.
[22:10] [Storyteller] [Tala] "They will come later tonight... you will be healed during the meditations at sunset."
[22:11] [Maris] "Damn."
[22:11] [Shakel] I would disagree youngen. Nails are not attached to the
[22:11] [Shakel] skin, but to the tips of the bone underneath the skin. I
[22:11] [Shakel] would rule the claws would snap off but you need to have
[22:11] [Shakel] something very very powerful or strong to perform the deed.
[22:11] [Storyteller] She bows low to Tabius and quickly hurries off back to the Cathak House.
[22:11] [Vanal] (*blink* my kitten just crawled up the back of my chair and onto my shoulde6r...%"6
[22:11] [Shakel] [[damn, where'd that come from?]]
[22:11] [Vanal] [[I'
[22:11] [Vanal] ((and onto my keyboard))
[22:12] [Storyteller] [cats are truly evil]
[22:12] [Storyteller] [more evil than even I]
[22:12] * Maris growls yet again
[22:12] * Vanal looks at Irin "Stand by, commander. I msut cofner with my associates."
[22:13] [Storyteller] Vanal, you see an unwanted face approaching
[22:13] * Vanal squints
[22:13] [Storyteller] yeap
[22:13] [Vanal] "Well, *shit*"
[22:14] [Vanal] (you rat bastard)
[22:14] [Storyteller] Renig arrives in full battle gear, looking sourly at Vanal.
[22:14] [Storyteller] And actually, he arrives alone
[22:14] * Vanal raises an eyebrow "Joining the party, scalemaster Renig ?"
[22:15] [Storyteller] He shakes his head sadly as he steps near you. "As much as I would enjoy hunting down the Anathema and proving my loyalty to the immaculate order, I fear that my invitation has been lost in the mail."
[22:16] [Vanal] "I see. And you're off post....why ?"
[22:16] * Jynaru raises an eyebrow.
[22:16] [Storyteller] "To report, sir. You did not send for us today, but I felt you would still be interested in the details."
[22:17] [Vanal] "Very well. What do you have to report ?"
[22:18] * Tei is lost in the whirl of preperations for tommorows hunt
[22:19] [Vanal] (welcome to the politics of the legions...if someone wants to 'accidentally' behead a certain peleps scalemaster, be my guest)
[22:19] * Tabius stands there alternating between looking at Thynus and Renig.
[22:19] [Storyteller] He reaches into his packet and pulls out a small scroll bound in red tape. "This was delivered by courier a few hours ago. A tepet runner. He was quite out of breath, but insisted that it be delivered immediately." he looks at it. "It has not been opened, but I expect it is rather important."
[22:19] [Shakel] "Well, if you gentlemen will excuse me . . . I need to drink until I pass out . . . see you tomorrow."
[22:19] [Storyteller] Renig bows elegantly to you as you leave, Shakel
[22:20] * Shakel drinks until she passes out . . .
[22:20] * Vanal takes the scroll
[22:20] [Storyteller] roll stamina + resistance
[22:20] * Vanal reads it
[22:20] [Storyteller] shakel ;)
[22:20] [Shakel] !ex 8
[22:20] [Storyteller] Shakel : !ex 8, 7, 7, 3, 4, 9, 3, 3, 2, Successes : 3
[22:20] * Jynaru blinks slowly, and shakily lights a cig.
[22:21] [Storyteller] only takes a few hours.... you manage to find a place where the drinks are good and the men aren't brawling so much as to hurt your ears
[22:22] * Maris waits for Vanal to finish his reading.
[22:22] [Storyteller] Vanal, as you read it, you discover that the Tepets had been delayed by a flanking manuver by what was effectively a Talon of bandits, but the bandits have since been destroyed. They will arrive late, as they were, unfortunately, forced to send wing to chase them down for the good of the realm.
[22:23] [Storyteller] send (a) wing of troops
[22:23] * Vanal scowls
[22:23] [Vanal] "The 5th has been delayed."
[22:23] [Maris] "Too bad."
[22:24] [Storyteller] ... but only until the late morning.
[22:24] [Vanal] "Bandits. They've sent a wing to hunt them down."
[22:24] [Vanal] "They arrive late morning."
[22:24] [Maris] "Shall we reconvene in the morning then?"
[22:24] [Tabius] "A WING!
[22:24] [Maris] "Unless someone feels like mucking about in the sewer's again?"
[22:25] * Jynaru sighs.
[22:25] [Vanal] "Unfortunately, Shakel has gone to drink herself silly, so there's little incentive for me there, Maris."
[22:25] [Tabius] "What was there2 wings of bandits?
[22:25] [Vanal] "Flushing out bandits takes tiome and manpower."
[22:25] [Vanal] "Especially in this area. They tend to be rather good at *hiding*"
[22:26] [Maris] "Alright then."
[22:26] [Tabius] "So you think it was 'those' bandits?"
[22:26] [Maris] "Vanal you think you could send some troops to check it out though?"
[22:26] [Vanal] "Maris, I have 125 men under my command. The 5th has five thousand."
[22:26] [Vanal] "They can sapre the manpower, I cannot."
[22:26] [Maris] "The sewer rooms"
[22:27] [Maris] "Not the bandits"
[22:27] * Vanal looks at Renig "Take a scale and check it out."
[22:27] [Vanal] (errr...Fang, not scale)
[22:28] [Vanal] (thanks Maris ! I'm sending Peleps-boy to spelunk in the swers !)
[22:28] [Storyteller] Scalemaster Irin raises her eyebrow as Renig nods to you, turning to go. "And, my lord Vanal, who do you intend to leave in charge?"
[22:28] [Vanal] "Gehn. "
[22:29] [Jynaru] (Ah, isn't politicking fun?)
[22:29] [Storyteller] He nods
[22:29] [Storyteller] Storyteller : !ex 8, 8, 10, 8, 4, 4, 2, 8, 6, Successes : 5
[22:29] [Storyteller] !ex 8
[22:29] [Storyteller] (ooh, 5 sux on socialize roll. smooth time...)
[22:29] [Vanal] (eep ?)
[22:30] * Maris go get something to eat then come back for healing then go back to his place for some sleep.
[22:30] [Storyteller] "Lord Vanal, I wish you luck." He smiles, and bows to you. "May the Immaculate Dragons watch over you on your quest."
[22:30] [Vanal] (Gehn *is* Van's XO, so it works out well)
[22:30] [Storyteller] he then turns and leaves...
[22:30] [Vanal] "And yours as well, scalemaster. Best of luck."
[22:31] * Jynaru watches his ;eave, and waits till he's out of earshot. "Something.. disturbing about that man."
[22:31] * Tabius seems bemused by the things that Vanal has to go through on a daily basis with his troops.
[22:31] [Vanal] "Renig ?"
[22:32] [Vanal] "Peleps officer in a Cathak legion. He feels rather...pent-in."
[22:32] [Storyteller] Renig is out of earshot, lost in the throbbing masses of Malkor's Guard.....
[22:32] [Jynaru] "Ah. Difficult position to be in.
[22:32] [Vanal] "I would sympathize with him, if he wasn't such a pain in the ass."
[22:33] [Vanal] "He doesn't like me overmuch, and so he tries to make my job a living hell."
[22:33] [Maris] "Why don't you just demote him?"
[22:33] * Vanal smirks "He fails to realise that i used to do stuff like that as a hobby."
[22:34] [Vanal] "He's a political appointee."
[22:34] * Jynaru chuckles.
[22:34] [Maris] 'So."
[22:34] [Vanal] "And he's still blooded...and a semi-decent soldier."
[22:34] [Maris] "Give him a political appointment."
[22:34] * Vanal sighs
[22:34] [Maris] "Put him in the vangaurd and have him killed."
[22:34] * Tabius mentaly goes ouch. Somebody must have gotten the bad end of one of Vanal's little jokes and complained to mummy and daddy.
[22:34] [Maris] "There's plenty you can do to him."
[22:35] [Shakel] [[the best way to get rid of annoying underlings is to promote them]]
[22:35] * Jynaru shakes his head.
[22:35] [Maris] "And I am going to spend the rest of the day as easily as possible."
[22:35] [Vanal] [[there's a thought...]]
[22:35] [Jynaru] "In my experience, political appointees are damned hard to shake loose."
[22:35] [Vanal] [[Maybe I can con the Tepet into taking him ?]]
[22:35] [Maris] "I'll see you all in the morning."
[22:36] [Maris] "Your men find anything out about the room tell me."
[22:36] [Vanal] "I hope he doesn't try anything, else I WILL demote him."
[22:36] * Maris heads for his home.
[22:36] [Vanal] "I will."
[22:37] [Storyteller] anyone else want to do something with what is left of this day?
[22:37] [Vanal] (nope)
[22:37] [Tei] [not really]
[22:37] * Maris will get healed but nothing besides that.
[22:37] [Storyteller] Tabs]?
[22:37] [Jynaru] Hmmmm... Go home, go to sleep, try to enjoy the time before playing hounds again sounds good to me.
[22:38] [Tabius] Go and practice dodging pully armored up till the sun goes down. Then study something else.
[22:38] [Storyteller] ok
[22:38] * Maris will try and turn the tables on Livian and seduce the hell out of her.
[22:38] [Tabius] (*pully - fully)
[22:38] [Storyteller] how evil
[22:38] [Storyteller] okay maris, roll for seduction....
[22:38] [Storyteller] Storyteller : !ex 7, 7, 6, 3, 9, 8, 1, 9, Successes : 4
[22:38] [Storyteller] !ex 7
[22:39] [Maris] !ex 10
[22:39] [Storyteller] Maris : !ex 10, 1, 2, 2, 9, 8, 6, 5, 2, 6, 10, Successes : 4
[22:39] [Storyteller] ooh, and 8 sux combined seduction...
[22:39] [Storyteller] Well then you are both quickly making up for the fact that you won't be seeing each other for a while ^_^
[22:40] [Storyteller] Those of you who are still wounded attend the sunset meditations, and get all healed up.... and then you get a good night's sleep.
[22:40] [Shakel] [[but who won dammit!]]
[22:40] [Storyteller] it was a tie :)
[22:40] [Vanal] [[they both did]]
[22:40] [Maris] [I was trying to get her into a point where she'd stop trying to seduce me all the god damn time[
[22:40] [Storyteller] [if a seduction attempt is met with another seduction attempt it automatically succeeds....]
[22:41] [Jynaru] (This just means there'll be more struggling for sexual supremacy later. A win for Livian.)
[22:41] [Tabius] (*LMAO, try and secude me will ya, well HA I will seduce you as well!*)

Session Start: Mon Aug 26 21:04:40 2002
Session Ident: Hikari
[21:04] Session Ident: Hikari (Hikari@zaqd378a757.zaq.ne.jp)
[21:04] [Hikari] Are we still on for the 'Cicada jumps into Juniper's bed' sidequest?
[21:07] [GoldenH] yeap
[21:07] [GoldenH] whenever you want...
[21:12] [Hikari] I am ready anytime.
[21:12] [GoldenH] ok
[21:17] [Hikari] You might want to finish the chess, though.
[21:17] [Hikari] I will just run to the nest door convenience store and pick up some lunch.
[21:17] [GoldenH] ok
[21:18] [GoldenH] have fun filling your tummy to the correct amount
[21:52] [Storyteller] so you want to do that thing?
[21:54] [Cicada] I am ready.
[21:54] [Storyteller] cool
[21:55] [Storyteller] okay night falls, and you are wherever we are when we let off at the end of the day this coming saturday... so I'll just have your character end up at Tabius' room in the Cathak House so you can get anything you think you need
[21:55] [Storyteller] btw your post in the main room got cut off
[21:59] [Cicada] I know, I will tell as it goes on. :)
[21:59] [Storyteller] heh ok
[22:07] [Storyteller] okay you walk through the cool summer night, the cathak house lawn's green, damp grass crunching under your feet as you watch around you to make sure you haven't been followed.
[22:07] * Cicada first rests up in the Immaculate camp, then goes to her and Tabius quarters.
[22:08] [Storyteller] You quickly walk up to your quarters, grabbing your things
[22:08] * Cicada digs out her infiltration gear (black bodysuit, likely 'ninja style') and sets off over the rooftops towards the Mnemon residence, a spot of silent darkness in the not so silent darkness below.
[22:09] [Storyteller] roll dex + stealth +2
[22:09] [Cicada] !ex 10
[22:09] [Storyteller] Cicada : !ex 10, 7, 4, 7, 5, 6, 2, 6, 1, 8, 1, Successes : 3
[22:09] [Storyteller] Storyteller : !ex 5, 7, 6, 5, 8, 4, Successes : 2
[22:09] [Storyteller] !ex 5
[22:11] [Storyteller] okay... you leap over rooftops until you can see the large wall of pine trees providing a noise and sight buffer between the Menemon house and the rest of the city... it is quiet all around you, as everybody lies in bed trying to sleep and miserably failing, the anticipation of tommarow too great to bear...
[22:11] [Cicada] (Tomorow is when the time limit expires?)
[22:12] [Storyteller] no, it's when the 5th Legion arrives. you may as well know that they arrive late.
[22:12] [Storyteller] don't tell anyone till after saturday though
[22:12] [Cicada] (Oh well... none of my business... yet)
[22:13] [Storyteller] *nod*
[22:14] * Cicada crouches on the rooftop looking out for guards and patrols, making ready to cross the space between the buildings.
[22:14] [Storyteller] per + awareness +1
[22:14] [Cicada] !ex 7
[22:14] [Storyteller] Cicada : !ex 7, 3, 9, 9, 9, 7, 3, 3, Successes : 4
[22:16] [Storyteller] okay... you see the guards move slowly around the house, watching due to their nearly silent footsteps on the balconies and catwalks around the building
[22:16] [Cicada] [Is the space jumpable, or will I have to run?]
[22:16] [Storyteller] the guards hide in shadows, but you think you can see which ones are where.....
[22:16] [Storyteller] how far can you jump?
[22:17] [Cicada] Ehh.. Dex 5 Athletics 3. Can triple distance with aspect ability.
[22:19] [Storyteller] okay you can jump 144 feet if you activate your aspect ability.
[22:20] [Storyteller] soo....
[22:20] [Storyteller] you can just make it to one of the catwalks
[22:20] [Cicada] Well, the thing lasts a scene so I do it!
[22:20] [Storyteller] okay...
[22:20] [Cicada] 5 personal motes.
[22:21] [Storyteller] roll dex + athletics to make the jump...
[22:21] [Storyteller] you can stunt any roll if you want
[22:21] [Storyteller] you'll have to jump through the line of trees to make it onto the menemon house
[22:22] * Cicada carefully measures the distance and the patterns of the guards. Then close her eyes and take a deep inhale of the cool night air. And sprints!
[22:22] [Storyteller] okay you run across the rooftop you are on...
[22:23] * Cicada leaps from the edge of the roof and into the threes. Light as a feather she uses then as extra jumping platforms to make it to the roof of the Mnemon house, sending only a single leaf spiralling slowly to the ground below.
[22:23] [Storyteller] okay roll athletics + jump +2
[22:24] [Cicada] (uses them, that is)
[22:24] [Cicada] (?)
[22:24] [Storyteller] lots of rolls....
[22:24] [Cicada] (you mean dex + ath ?)
[22:24] [Storyteller] lol yes
[22:24] * Storyteller shakes his head stupidly...
[22:24] [Cicada] !ex 10
[22:24] [Storyteller] Cicada : !ex 10, 8, 6, 5, 2, 2, 9, 2, 5, 4, 6, Successes : 2
[22:25] [Storyteller] okay... you leap through the air, the pine needles brushing softly against your skin as your feet push off them for support, and then you're through them, landing with a soft *clunk* on a catwalk spiraling around the house
[22:26] [Cicada] (pine = NEEDLES. Stupid. Stupid!)
[22:26] [Storyteller] (don't worry 'bout it)
[22:28] * Cicada first jumps to the roof and make her way around to Juniper's bedroom on that to avoid the magics most certainly places on the catwalk. (not to mention the guards likely patrollong it)
[22:28] [Storyteller] oaky.... you hear footsteps coming from around a corner. the catwalk is shielded from light, and there are several doors and open windows stretching along the outside platform.....
[22:28] [Storyteller] ah ok
[22:28] [Storyteller] never mind that last bit
[22:29] [Cicada] (Oh but I minded all right. Just a bit faster than you. :) )
[22:30] [Storyteller] okay you walk carefully on top the woven birch roof, it quietly crunching under your light feet, as the moon shines down on you and giving everything an eerie glow... you carefully walk along until you think you are above her bedroom....
[22:30] [Storyteller] dex + stealth
[22:30] [Cicada] !ex 8
[22:30] [Storyteller] Cicada : !ex 8, 3, 2, 7, 4, 4, 4, 6, 7, Successes : 2
[22:30] [Storyteller] okay...
[22:30] [Storyteller] you're above her room now
[22:30] [Cicada] (birch roof, eh..?)
[22:31] [Storyteller] woven
[22:31] [Storyteller] it's like a giant mat
[22:31] [Storyteller] then you cover it with some kind of sealant...
[22:31] [Storyteller] anyhow
[22:31] [Storyteller] the house is four stories high, her room that tabius has been in was on the second room. that's what you're above right now.
[22:32] [Cicada] So she is not on the top floor?
[22:32] [Storyteller] no
[22:33] [Cicada] Hmmm...
[22:33] [Storyteller] she might have more than one room
[22:33] [Storyteller] but that was the only one tabius was in, and though you got a map of the place, it wasn't marked "Juniper's room is here."
[22:33] [Cicada] (Cicada has been to her bedroom once before, as far as I remember)
[22:34] [Cicada] (I might be mistaken)
[22:34] [Storyteller] you waited and tabius came down, that's what I remember
[22:35] [Cicada] (yes, but I brought her a message in person as well, and got recieved in her bedroom)
[22:35] [Storyteller] ah
[22:35] [Storyteller] quit right, I remember that now. sorry.
[22:35] [Cicada] (That is where Cicada is heading)
[22:36] [Storyteller] okay that was the same room tabius was in
[22:36] [Cicada] (fine)
[22:37] [Storyteller] so what do you do?
[22:37] * Cicada climbs carefully to the edge of the roof and secure a spike in it. Then ties a thin rope to that with a knot that will release when pulled sharply.
[22:38] [Storyteller] the spike holds securely into the roof as you spear the spike into the roof, it expanding inside and, as you give it a short tug, proves itself secure
[22:39] [Storyteller] Okay
[22:39] * Cicada then activates Feeling-The-Air-Technique to be able to sense forms and movements around her. Then securing the rope in a metal ring on her belt she lowers herself down to the windows of the target room like a spider as soon as she is sure there are no guards or they have passed.
[22:40] [Storyteller] okay... you carefully feel the air around you and when you think there is no movement below you peek over to make sure...
[22:40] [Storyteller] per + awareness
[22:40] [Cicada] !ex 6
[22:40] [Storyteller] Cicada : !ex 6, 8, 3, 5, 10, 5, 9, Successes : 4
[22:41] [Cicada] (funny how I do better on low abilities...)
[22:41] [Storyteller] (always good)
[22:42] [Storyteller] okay as you look over you see that there is one guard walking away from you, but you know from watching earlier that another will be walking past this wall before he rounds the corner
[22:44] [Storyteller] you slowly let yourself down behind him....
[22:44] * Cicada times a very quick drop behind him gliding soundlessly down to the window. Once there she graps the windowframe with one hand and yank the rope down to her with the other.
[22:44] [Storyteller] roll dex + stealth +2
[22:44] [Cicada] !ex 10
[22:44] [Storyteller] Cicada : !ex 10, 5, 6, 7, 2, 2, 7, 8, 3, 6, 9, Successes : 4
[22:46] [Storyteller] okay you manage to complete the manuver silently. The window is cracked open, but not enough for you to crawl through. You can see inside to the darkened room, and you see nobody... a single candle flickers on a small coffee table between two chairs, the desk with the mirror reflecting the light, illuminiating the room vaugely as you see the bed, the chairs, and the drawers within
[22:47] [Cicada] "The Mnemon bitch is probably busy working in another room" Cicada thinks to herself.
[22:49] [Storyteller] you hear the crunch of footsteps above you.
[22:49] [Storyteller] they are steady and do not slow as they approach....
[22:49] * Cicada first collects the rope and stores it on her belt again. Then she pulls out her knife again and sets to work on edging the window open, AFTER the footsteps have passed.
[22:50] [Cicada] (btw, have you noticed that Cicada is Vanal's sister-in-law?)
[22:51] [Cicada] (check the description of Ari and then the one of Cicada. :) )
[22:52] [Storyteller] (hmm :/)
[22:52] [Storyteller] (I'll have to look it up)
[22:52] [Cicada] (Hmmm, indeed)
[22:52] [Cicada] (I hope it is just a coincidence. The other possibility is too embarressing.)
[22:53] [Storyteller] The footsteps pass over you as you quickly draw the rope to you, and once they are far enough away, you find the window not difficult to fully open with your bare hands....)
[22:53] [Storyteller] (heh, Vanal's your daddy? :p)
[22:54] [Cicada] (no, my brother-in-law. More likely considering their age)
[22:54] [Storyteller] )hmm(
[22:54] * Cicada waits for a second hanging there by her hand, then slide into the room like a shadow.
[22:55] * Cicada then makes a quick acan of the things lying around in the room.
[22:55] [Storyteller] okay... you're in the room now. You look around, letting your eyes acclimate to the room... every thing seems silent
[22:56] [Storyteller] There are a variety of small things, like brushes and such on the mirror desk, and a couple of books and a corked bottle of wine sitting on the little table with the candle
[22:56] [Cicada] Is the bed made? Has it a blanket over it so as to look unused? Is it warm?
[22:56] [Storyteller] the bed is made, mute pastel green sheets drawn tightly over it... but it still looks comfortable
[22:56] [Cicada] (is the ink on any writing dry?)
[22:57] [Cicada] But the bed do not have one of those sheets over it to protect it from dust?
[22:57] [Storyteller] as you run your hands over the bed, you decide it has definate been made recently, but it still seems cold so it hasn't been used
[22:57] [Storyteller] no actually i've only seen those when the room is not intended to be used for long periods of time
[22:57] [Storyteller] and this one doesn't have one of 'em on it
[22:58] [Cicada] Okay, what time of the night is it?
[22:58] [Cicada] I suppose i set out a little after midnight.
[22:58] [Storyteller] okay
[22:58] [Storyteller] it's summer, so the sun will be up in about 5 hours
[22:59] * Cicada sneaks over to the door and listen for noises in the corridor outside.
[22:59] [Storyteller] you find some books and such on the mirror desk, and flipping through the ones that look like journals, you find none with wet ink...
[22:59] [Storyteller] You sneak over to the door and listen.... +1 per + awareness
[22:59] [Cicada] (+1 to the roll?)
[23:00] [Storyteller] yes
[23:00] [Cicada] !ex 7
[23:00] [Storyteller] Cicada : !ex 7, 10, 4, 7, 8, 9, 8, 4, Successes : 6
[23:00] [Storyteller] you stand at the door and listen, and hear absolutely nothing in the hallway outside.
[23:00] [Cicada] (OH YEAH! I know all that occur in the house because i overhear the mice talking about it!)
[23:01] [Storyteller] heh....
[23:01] [Cicada] Ok.
[23:01] [Storyteller] you hear a muted, faraway sound of people talking
[23:01] [Storyteller] but you can't make out anything
[23:02] [Storyteller] As you return to searching the papers, you can't find anything wet, per se, but after going through the papers on the dresser and such..
[23:02] [Storyteller] roll investig + perception
[23:02] * Cicada returns to the desk and leaf through the journal, looking for the entries for the last few days. Especially for the days after Cicada and Tabius came to town and the times they met up with Juniper at the party and the meetings.
[23:02] [Cicada] !ex 4
[23:02] [Storyteller] Cicada : !ex 4, 1, 3, 5, 10, Successes : 2
[23:02] [Storyteller] and are you trying to keep everything in it's proper order?
[23:02] [Cicada] Yes.
[23:03] [Storyteller] ok
[23:03] [Storyteller] you browse through the diary and try to read it.. what languages do you speak?
[23:04] [Storyteller] it's in old realm
[23:04] * Cicada do not know Juniper so she will rather err in the side of safety and assume Juniper is an orderholic.
[23:04] * Storyteller nods...
[23:04] [Cicada] Only high and low, sadly... Was never allowed to learn Old.
[23:04] [Storyteller] okay
[23:04] [Storyteller] in your searchings, you come across a large jade plate under the bed
[23:05] [Cicada] Do it look anything like the jade square I received?
[23:05] [Storyteller] no, it is much larger, and seems to be set in other metals
[23:06] [Storyteller] do you pull it into more light?
[23:06] * Cicada carefully takes it out and looks at it in the candlelight.
[23:06] [Cicada] (Yah! Cicada has found Juniper's luxurious nightpotty! Yah!)
[23:07] [Storyteller] roll int + lore ... lol
[23:07] [Storyteller] just lol....
[23:07] [Cicada] (a jade plate with a teleportation mechanism that sends her waste to a location one meter above her most hated person's bed)
[23:08] [Storyteller] Man, remind me not to enroll at the heptagram
[23:08] [Cicada] !ex 4
[23:08] [Storyteller] Cicada : !ex 4, 4, 9, 6, 4, Successes : 1
[23:08] [Storyteller] okay....
[23:08] [Cicada] (good artifact that, btw)
[23:08] [Storyteller] how much exactly has tabius let you learn about sorcery?
[23:09] [Cicada] Only the basics I presume. Likely mostly about detection and how to avoid it. For my less 'official' missions.
[23:09] [Storyteller] okay
[23:09] [Cicada] (traps and the like)
[23:10] [Storyteller] you don't know what it is, but it is obviously magical. It is a plate of white jade, a circle of smaller pieces of jade embedded in orichulum and covered in a thin web of moonsilver. The metals seem to flow into each other, and looks to be one solid piece
[23:11] [Cicada] Hmmm, my lord would love to have a look at this...
[23:11] [Storyteller] it is also rather heavy
[23:11] [Storyteller] you're not going to do any jumping with it
[23:11] [Storyteller] maybe 1/10th your normal jumping
[23:12] [Cicada] Well, it is likely for summonning something, but that is none of my concern.
[23:12] [Storyteller] it's about the length of one of your arms in diameter
[23:12] * Cicada replaces the plate under the bed.
[23:13] [Cicada] Now, the desk and the bed means that Juniper will return here. The plate means I cannot hide under the bed as Juniper will likely use the thing before sleeping. So...
[23:13] * Cicada looks at the ceiling.
[23:14] [Storyteller] the ceiling is a simple affair. It is made of large planks of wood, and after poking a few of them, you decide that they aren't going anywhere.
[23:14] [Storyteller] there is a closet
[23:16] [Cicada] Okay.
[23:16] [Storyteller] you go in the closet, it's rather empty.
[23:16] [Storyteller] it stinks though.
[23:16] * Cicada moves over and carefully open the closet and look inside.
[23:17] [Storyteller] lots of bags of various stuff lying around
[23:17] [Storyteller] scrolls and whatnot
[23:17] [Cicada] (damn, I had hoped to learn Juniper's taste in underwear... ;) )
[23:17] [Storyteller] oh, you already found that. it was in the drawers. she likes thongs.
[23:17] [Cicada] I .... see ....
[23:18] * Cicada makes a quick search of the items in the closet.
[23:18] [Storyteller] scrolls, etc... bags of weird herbs...
[23:19] [Storyteller] a few recreational drugs
[23:19] [Storyteller] roll per + awareness
[23:19] [Cicada] Hmm, that means she might use the stuf here before going to bed too...
[23:19] [Cicada] !ex 6
[23:19] [Storyteller] Cicada : !ex 6, 8, 2, 2, 6, 10, 3, Successes : 3
[23:20] [Storyteller] you hear something
[23:20] [Cicada] Okay, stunt time.
[23:20] * Cicada quickly close the closet, and look around in semi-panic for a hiding place.
[23:21] [Storyteller] you look around and figure you could shove yourself between a couple of the shelves, or you could climb up them and hide on top of them... there isn't any light in here, and you can't see anything up there, but it is pretty dark and you don't think there'd be anything out of there
[23:24] * Cicada makes a quick desision and runs for the wall next to the bed, getting as much momentum she can. And contunies straight up the wall to the ceiling above the bed. There she slams herself back towards the ceiling and digs in her nails, while pushing her feet against the wall for extra purchase. Hanging there face down ahe awaits her 'guest'. (I assume the aspect is still on and that the bed is a luxurious one with that tent like covering)
[23:24] [Storyteller] wait
[23:24] [Cicada] (you know, a four-poster bed of the good ould kind, or at least a mosquito net)
[23:24] [Storyteller] no
[23:24] [Storyteller] it isn't anything like that
[23:24] [Storyteller] it's a simple bed
[23:24] [Cicada] (damn.)
[23:25] [Cicada] So poor little I will just have to flatten myself even more. Thank gods for the diet I am on. :)
[23:25] [Storyteller] :O
[23:25] [Storyteller] you're going to hang there in plain sight?
[23:25] [Cicada] (people rarely look up, you know)
[23:26] [Storyteller] Still, I can see my ceiling fan when I walk in the room
[23:26] [Storyteller] roll int + larceny
[23:26] [Cicada] Not many shadows in your room and the fan likely moves.

[23:27] [Storyteller] okay
[23:27] [Storyteller] you want to burn some WP?
[23:27] [Cicada] 4 personal motes
[23:27] [Storyteller] *nod*
[23:27] [Cicada] (hell, yeah. 1 WP for an automatic succes.
[23:27] [Storyteller] okay
[23:27] [Storyteller] roll it

[23:28] [Cicada] !ex 5

[23:28] [Storyteller] !ex 4
[23:29] [Cicada] (I didn't even get any dtunt for my cool manouver... (sniff))
[23:31] [Storyteller] The door opens up and lady Juniper walks in. She's wearing a white frilly dress, and fooling around with a young man in a red tunic and long green pants
[23:31] [Cicada] (be occopied... please be occupied..)
[23:32] [Storyteller] they certainly seem occupied. don't even make it to the bed.
[23:32] [Cicada] Hmmm, will have to wait for them to finish... Become exhausted and all that...
[23:33] * Storyteller does the magical mumbo jumbo dance.... but it is not to be
[23:34] [Storyteller] When lady Juniper falls onto her back, she looks up and sees you. her eyes go wide, but she's rather pinned for the moment
[23:34] [Cicada] Stunt time!
[23:34] [Storyteller] okay
[23:37] * Cicada uses her legs to leap away from the wall and tumble towards the couple. Placing both her feet hard with all of her mass behind her on the back of the neck of the fine young gentleman. Then as he rolls away she will use her backwards momentum to spin up in the air and come down on Juniper one leg over each of her arms and a knife at her throat.
[23:38] [Storyteller] okay +1

[23:39] [Cicada] Hey! I forgot to use exm ! :)
[23:39] [Storyteller] don't worry.... it was damage
[23:40] * Cicada 's player shakes her head. Well, I did not REALLY expect to get away from this alive...
[23:41] [Storyteller] Storyteller : !ex 5, 6, 5, 1, 6, 2, Successes : 0, Botch
[23:41] [Storyteller] !ex 5
[23:41] * Storyteller falls over laughing
[23:41] [Storyteller] the dice are on your side tonight
[23:41] * Cicada 's player breathe a sigh of relief.
[23:42] [Cicada] (have you noticed that when one roll botches or fumbles, then the next roll will likely do the same? It works for ALL roleplaying games)
[23:42] [Storyteller] As the man tries to get up, he stubs his part
[23:42] [Cicada] (OW!)
[23:43] [Cicada] (hopefully you didn't mean stabbed)
[23:43] [Storyteller] so he's pretty much crying over lady juniper
[23:43] [Storyteller] like you stub your toe
[23:43] [Cicada] Am I on top of the lady now?
[23:43] [Storyteller] anyhow your knife is against her neck, and her eyes are wide, and she's in a rather compromised position
[23:43] [Storyteller] yeap
[23:44] [Cicada] "One of you make a sound, esteemed lord and lady and this fine soft neck gets a new breathing hole."
[23:44] [Storyteller] the man doesn't stop sobbing
[23:45] [Cicada] "Same if any of of the Exalted Dynasts should think to move."
[23:45] [Cicada] "Now, lady Mnemon. I have a few question for you..."
[23:45] [Storyteller] she stares at you quietly
[23:45] [Cicada] (questions, plural damn it!)
[23:47] * Cicada pulls down her hood with her free hand. "Now, my lord has feelings for you so I will not kill you unless you make me. Keep that in mind."
[23:47] * Cicada reveals her face.
[23:47] [Storyteller] She doesn't seem to be shocked. her eyes don't seem to be focusing right, in the darkness and all, and her breath smells like wine
[23:48] [Cicada] (oh crap...)
[23:48] [Cicada] But she is clever enough not to resist?
[23:48] [Storyteller] yea
[23:50] [Cicada] "Most Exalted lady Mnemon, you gave to me a square piece of jade a few days ago and mentioned my 'mother'. I would much enjoy if the noble lady would explain further."
[23:51] [Cicada] (the young rake, do he carry any markings I recoginze?)
[23:51] [Storyteller] nope
[23:51] [Cicada] (no House, no nothing?)
[23:52] [Storyteller] not from this angle
[23:52] [Cicada] (oh well, then I can always kill him 'not knowing better' :) )
[23:52] [Storyteller] heh
[23:52] [Storyteller] still, he's obviously a friend of house menemeon
[23:53] [Cicada] (could I use my chakram on him if necessary?)
[23:53] [Storyteller] yeap
[23:53] [Cicada] (goody)
[23:55] * Cicada waits for answers to her questions, pressing the knife slightly harder toward Juniper's silken skin.
[23:55] [Storyteller] She smiles as she raises her neck up, lessinging the bite of the point a bit
[23:56] [Storyteller] "I heard about your mother," she drunkenly says. "I heard about you too. I thought it was only fair that you should have a chance to find them." she gigglse
[23:57] [Cicada] "Lady Mnemon, my lord would be most distressed if a lady he favours should get murdered in the night by unknown assailants. I would so hate to distress my lord. Pray be more detailed in your explanation."
[23:58] [Cicada] (now why do I suspect that her first counterattack is going to be to try to kiss me or lick my face or something...?)
[23:58] [Storyteller] "Oh I'm not going to tell you *everything*, my dear girl," she smiles sweetly. "I think you want to know what i'm willing to tell you, though, so perhaps you should let me up?"
[23:59] * Cicada ponders for a minute.
[00:00] [Cicada] "If I have your oath on the honor of your House that you will tell and not call for any security, and keep your toy quiet. Then I will let the lady up."
[00:00] [Storyteller] she smiles sweetly. "You have my word."
[00:00] [Cicada] "On the honor of your House and ancestors?"
[00:01] [Storyteller] her eyes twinkle as she says yes
[00:02] * Cicada sheathe her weapons, get up and then give Juniper a hand.
[00:02] [Cicada] "You might want to put that man to bed, but that was your plan all along, I assume."
[00:03] [Storyteller] She takes your hand to get up, then she picks up her man and drops him on the bed. She waves for you to sit in the seat closest to the door.
[00:03] * Cicada locks the door first then sit down in the chair offered.
[00:05] [Storyteller] She fishes a couple of cups off the her desk and pours some wine from the bottle on her desk
[00:05] * Cicada idly picks up a handkerchief from the desk and offers Juniper it for the drop of blood trickling down the perfect skin of her supple neck.
[00:06] [Cicada] (am i overdoing Juniper's beauty? ;) )
[00:06] [Storyteller] she smiles and just wipes it off with her fingers. "Now, I wouldn't want to ruin a perfectly good napkin."
[00:06] [Storyteller] (Not really. she looks at least as good as you.)
[00:06] [Cicada] "Certainly, my lady..."
[00:07] [Storyteller] "Do you have it with you?"
[00:07] [Cicada] "the jade square? Yes"
[00:07] [Storyteller] she motions for you to pull it out
[00:08] * Cicada pulls it out from inside her tunic.
[00:08] [Storyteller] she smiles.
[00:08] [Storyteller] "You looked at it right after you got it, yes? I'm sure you had tabius examine it."
[00:08] [Cicada] "I did, but he did not find anything special about it."
[00:09] [Storyteller] "look at it again."
[00:09] [Cicada] "I am hardly in a position to impose on Cathak Tabius's time.."
[00:09] * Cicada study the square in detail.
[00:10] [Storyteller] per + awareness
[00:10] [Storyteller] also roll essence

[00:10] [Cicada] !ex 3
[00:10] [Storyteller] Cicada : !ex 3, 4, 7, 2, Successes : 1
[00:11] [Storyteller] your eyes see nothing, but running your finger along it you feel slight indentations scribed over the tablet. Still to light to examine, but there is definately something there.
[00:12] [Storyteller] she frowns. "It's only been a few days, but it should be more pronounced than that. Have you been getting much sleep?"
[00:12] [Cicada] "I feel some slight indentations, like an inscription or something."
[00:12] [Storyteller] She nods
[00:21] [Storyteller] "It attunes to the dreams of whomever has it, over time. It is like a dreamstone, only instead of recording dreams, it induces them. In due time, it will reveal through your dreams what the one thing you really want to know."
[00:22] [Cicada] "Not much, lady Mnemon. My duties have kept me busy."
[00:22] [Cicada] "Sleep is a luxury to a servant."
[00:22] [Storyteller] she nods then
[00:22] [Storyteller] "It is a shame. It will take longer for it to work if you stay awake... still, you have had the dreams then?"
[00:24] [Cicada] "I have had dreams of being carried and of people crying over me."
[00:24] [Storyteller] she shakes her head.
[00:25] [Storyteller] "I don't know why it would show you that, but I do know that whatever it is showing you is important to your quest."
[00:27] [Cicada] "I see. So what is it you know of my mother?"
[00:28] [Storyteller] She takes a sip of the wine, and shakes her head sadly.
[00:29] * Cicada narrows her eyes.
[00:29] [Storyteller] "I don't know anything about your mother, but I have been trying to find out for a good deal of time."
[00:29] [Storyteller] "I was hoping you could tell me, eventually, after that artifact reveals the facts to you."
[00:30] [Cicada] "Oh, and what interest might an Exalted Dynast have in a lowly servant-girl?"
[00:30] [Storyteller] "Less in you, and more in the mystery that surrounds you."
[00:31] [Storyteller] she smirks. "It is a very confusing one."
[00:31] * Cicada 's player 'almost' draw a sigh of relief.
[00:32] [Storyteller] she looks at the untouched glass of wine on the table
[00:32] [Cicada] "I see, the idle interest of a noble. I am much honored."
[00:32] * Cicada glances down at the wine she had completely forgotten.
[00:32] [Storyteller] She gives a small bow from her chair
[00:33] * Cicada takes the glas and taks a few sips, being suddenly rather thirsty.
[00:34] [Storyteller] Storyteller : !ex 4, 6, 8, 6, 5, Successes : 1
[00:34] [Storyteller] !ex 4
[00:35] [Storyteller] she starts nodding off in the darkness, but stops herself, barely watching you in the light of the candle
[00:35] [Storyteller] The moaning from the bed has finally stopped
[00:35] * Cicada sips the wine while looking at the lady.
[00:36] [Cicada] "Is that all you have for me, lady Mnemon?"
[00:36] [Storyteller] she smiles.
[00:37] [Storyteller] "I think I've answered your questions."
[00:37] [Storyteller] she adjusts her clothes to better fit her
[00:37] [Cicada] "Not in the way I hoped you would, but well enough to save the honor of your House and your life."
[00:38] [Storyteller] she nods
[00:38] [Cicada] "The lady might well want to sleep, I presume?"
[00:39] [Storyteller] "Indeed." she smiles, and starts standing. "Tabius doesn't know about you being here, does he?" her face is now hidden in shadow
[00:39] * Cicada stands up too. "My lord generously gave me the day off. Though I believe that I have somewhat strained what he permitted me to do with it."
[00:40] [Storyteller] she chuckles softly to herself
[00:40] * Cicada 's hand is ready to draw her chakram.
[00:40] [Cicada] "My lord has no business with this."
[00:41] [Storyteller] "Of course." the smile on her face is transmitted by the silence, rather than her face. "Well, if you are going, I hope you do not mind closing the window on your way out? It leaves in a nasty breeze."
[00:41] [Cicada] "I will. Lady Mnemon."
[00:42] * Cicada gets ready to leave then suddenly has a thought and stops."
[00:42] [Storyteller] She bows. "Till we meet again, Sable Cicada."
[00:42] * Cicada steps up very close to Juniper.
[00:43] [Storyteller] she still smells drunk, but there's another smell, too
[00:44] [Cicada] "The lady might want to make sure that wound do not scar, it is after all in a very visible position." (points an looks at the wound at her throat) "As you know my lord's techniques of healing leaves no trace. And I am willing to bet that he would help you out for only very small compensation..."
[00:45] * Cicada looks directly into Juniper's eyes, her own twinkling in the sporadic light.
[00:45] [Storyteller] she smiles quietly down at you. "Thank you for the note, but believe me," she says, "when I say I have my own methods for preserving my beauty." :)
[00:45] [Cicada] "After all it is not his loyal servant's name he moans in his sleep at night..."
[00:46] [Storyteller] she raises her eyebrow
[00:46] * Cicada stands there for a while aaaaaalmost touching her body against Juniper's.
[00:46] [Storyteller] :O
[00:47] [Cicada] "Now, if the lady has no further need for this unskilled servant.."
[00:47] [Storyteller] [hey, if you're trying to seduce her you can make a roll for that ^_^]

[00:48] [Storyteller] otherwise, she puts her finger on your shoulder, twirls you around, and with a light touch lets you drift off towards the open window
[00:49] [Cicada] (Should I match that roll for her Temperance with my App + Presence, or something? :) )
[00:49] [Cicada] (just to make the poor girl boil over..)
[00:50] [Storyteller] [unless you're actively [or unconsciously] trying to seduce her she can hold her own....]
[00:51] [Cicada] [Hmmm.... It would be uncounsious. Cicada is after all a little unhinged after what Tei did in the afternoon. She is not exactly in balance..)

[00:53] [Storyteller] well she IS drunk.....
[00:53] [Storyteller] so I'd handle that by increasing difficulty
[00:53] * Storyteller rubs his chin sagely
[00:54] [Storyteller] she seems regretful as she hints for you to leave
[00:56] [Storyteller] the air is tense, or something
[00:56] * Cicada has absolutely no understanding as to what just happened, and so bids a semi-polite goodnight puts her feet on the window, activate her aspect ability, and as she jumps out into the night taps the open window with her toe making it swing shut perfectly and without a sound.

[01:02] [Cicada] Good.
[01:03] * Cicada leaps to the rooftops and this time assisted by her aspect ability make for home and sleep..... and dreams.
[01:03] [Storyteller] ok
[01:04] [Storyteller] the dream is pretty much the same as last time
[01:04] [Storyteller] but it seems sharper
[01:04] [Storyteller] but not much

[01:05] [Storyteller] you can make out the difference between shapes by sight now, and small buildings, but they all blur together and you can't diffentiate similiar shapes, or colors.

[22:43] [Storyteller] it certainly feels like it.
[22:43] * Maris will then go get his horse and head for the IO camp.
[22:43] [Maris] How healed am I?
[22:43] [Storyteller] The people of Malkor's Guards spirits has been raised by the IO....
[22:43] [Storyteller] everyone is all healed up
[22:44] * Tei has been up since before dawn preparing for the hunt
[22:44] * Maris waits for everyone at the Road annoyed this has taken them so long.
[22:44] * Vanal armors up, gets his weapons and his troops, and gets ready to rock & roll
[22:44] [Storyteller] and so everyone is ready to go kick some anathema butt?
[22:44] * Maris nods
[22:45] * Shakel arrives fashionably late, still downing water
[22:45] * Tabius shows up at the east gate in his breastplate waiting to get going.
[22:45] * Jynaru shows up, loaded fr bear....Anathema-hunting.
[22:45] * Vanal looks at shak and mouths "hangover ?"
[22:45] [Storyteller] Today is the First of Resplendant Fire... and it certainly feels like it.
[22:45] * Vanal basks in the heat
[22:45] * Shakel shakes her head, "No sweat."
[22:46] * Vanal nods and drinks from a gourd...his armor is almost blindingly shiny
[22:46] * Maris grabs some of his own water and starts heading fown the road as everyones there now.
[22:46] * Tei is ready to leave at any time
[22:47] [Storyteller] Vanal's gift armor rests on Tala's shoulders as she looks around at the procession of monks around her.
[22:47] * Tabius learned a long time ago not to look at the Vein Sparkle Puss.
[22:47] [Storyteller] There are four dragon blooded immaculate monks as part of this talon....
[22:47] [Storyteller] and one of the "special, super-enlightened" kind.
[22:47] [Shakel] oooh . . .one of those
[22:48] [Storyteller] She is meditating quietly in the heat
[22:48] * Vanal checks with Irin to see if her troops are ready
[22:48] * Maris just keeps his horse going down the road.
[22:48] [Storyteller] Irin nods, her troops taking position around you
[22:48] * Jynaru drinks from a chilled metal flask as they wait.
[22:49] * Shakel tries to get a ride on a wagon
[22:49] * Tabius gets onto the horse that has been prepaired for him and gets ready to ride.
[22:49] * Vanal rides along
[22:49] [Storyteller] There isn't a wagon... if you want a horse, you're going to have to borrow one from somebody
[22:49] [Storyteller] The monks carry everything they need on their backs
[22:49] * Vanal fingers one of his broadhead arrows as he rides
[22:50] [Shakel] "Who the hell travels for two days without a wagon?"
[22:50] [Vanal] "We do, it seems. Want a lift ?"
[22:50] [Tabius] (*Thought he IO had everything we would need ;-)
[22:51] [Tabius] (*Othewise brings a horse from the CM stables.
[22:51] [Tei] [they have every thing we need, not wnat we would like]
[22:51] [Storyteller] "One does not need to ride when one has mastered the true meaning of one's essence," says one of the IO monks, his bald, white head glinting in the sun
[22:51] [Jynaru] (We don't NEED wagons. Just want them ^_^ )
[22:51] * Shakel accepts the lift . . . "This is so horrible. Mar's never going to make up for this."
[22:51] [Maris] "Put a cork in it baldy."
[22:51] * Maris says to the monk as he rides.
[22:51] * Vanal blinks at Maris
[22:52] [Storyteller] He raises an eyebrow at you and then resumes his quiet walking....
[22:52] * Tabius just looks passively at the monk and then back at the road in front of them.
[22:52] [Shakel] stares at the monk for a long moment . . . "Riiiiight."
[22:52] * Vanal gapes in slack-jawed awe at Mari's ballsiness
[22:52] [Storyteller] after several hours of nothing happening... nothing happens.
[22:52] [Tabius] (*Ew good).
[22:52] * Vanal tries to play his flute whilst riding
[22:52] [Storyteller] The walk along the Dragon's Channel has led you to the Serpentine river, and so you are now walking along that as well....

[22:53] [Vanal] "I don't think we're stopping for lunch."
[22:53] [Vanal] "I've got some field rations tucked away, if you want some."
[22:53] [Storyteller] "We will break in one hour," says the IO monk who spoke earlier.
[22:53] [Vanal] "I sit corrected."
[22:54] [Storyteller] This is odd, because they have not spoke to each other since you left.
[22:54] [Storyteller] They have spent the trip in silent meditation
[22:54] * Maris keeps an eye out as he goes.
[22:54] * Shakel looks out for the best-looking monk . . .
[22:54] [Storyteller] still, in an hours time, they make good on their promise.....
[22:54] * Vanal tries to flash tab's eyes a few times with his buckler
[22:55] [Storyteller] Shakel, the best looking monk is eating slowly from his bowl of warmed up rice...
[22:55] * Shakel lunches with the hottest monk, making idle conversation if possible
[22:55] * Vanal munches on a field ration bar
[22:55] * Maris grabs some more food fills his canteen and sits by his horse and waits for the immaculates to finish they're eating.
[22:55] [Shakel] and steering it towards that whole celibacy thing . . . how serious ARE they about that?
[22:55] [Storyteller] The monks conversation is truly boring, unless you like talking about the immaculate texts......
[22:55] * Tabius shakes his head once he figures out what Shakel is doing.
[22:55] * Tei eats silently
[22:56] * Jynaru munches on some fruit and his own version of a ration bar.
[22:56] * Vanal turns to Tab in an moment of odd candor "It seems I was the falvor of the day."
[22:56] [Shakel] they're monks . . . not dead
[22:56] [Storyteller] how serious? How about quoting the Five Incarnations of the Immaculate Dragons on the subject?
[22:56] * Shakel tries nevertheless . . . maybe just one kiss, on the cheek
[22:56] [Tabius] "So it would seem. Perhaps its part of the cow theory?
[22:56] [Jynaru] (Considering you can get kicked out for it...)

[22:57] * Maris says from his sitting position.
[22:57] [Storyteller] Shakel, the Immaculate monk looks at you strangely. "Lady Shakel, truly you must understand my vows."
[22:57] [Vanal] "So I've noticed."
[22:57] [Storyteller] His deep blue eyes draw you in

[23:00] * Tabius is waiting for Vanal to say that he has a need.
[23:00] * Shakel whispers, "Hey, I don't want to get you in trouble or anything. Just making conversation. We could always continue this in private . . . maybe when we make camp. How's that?"
[23:00] * Tabius turns his back to the conversation and does his best to not get noticed.
[23:00] [Storyteller] He looks at you, amused.
[23:00] * Shakel looks innocent . . . "Just want to talk. I don't know many monks."
[23:01] [Vanal] "If she pulls this off..."
[23:01] [Shakel] "And these guys are no fun at all," indicating Tab
[23:01] [Vanal] "HEY !"
[23:01] [Storyteller] "Very well, Shakel," he wispers, his voice taking on seductive tone. "If you wish to know the secrets of the immaculate order.... come to me two nights hence."
[23:01] [Shakel] quietly, "It's a date . . . so to speak."
[23:01] [Storyteller] His face betrays no emotion.
[23:01] * Shakel smiles broadly and drinks plenty of water . . . hot day
[23:02] * Vanal chuckles and scratches his beard
[23:02] [Storyteller] The monks stand as one.
[23:02] * Maris wonders if there are any pretty female monks to mess with.
[23:02] [Storyteller] "It's time to move on..."
[23:02] * Maris mounts his horse and sets out again.
[23:02] [Vanal] "Shakel, if you were a man, I'd say you have the biggest balls of anyone I've ever *met*"
[23:02] [Storyteller] OF course, maris... if you like bald women.
[23:02] * Tabius is sure that Shakel lets a bunch slash on her chest making her clothes stick to her.
[23:02] * Jynaru chuckles.
[23:02] [Jynaru] "Vanal, I think I'd be more worried if she thought we were the pinnacle of amusement. She has an od sense of humor."
[23:02] * Tabius goes and gets ready to ride out.
[23:02] [Vanal] "but 'no fun' ? Geez. I mean, sure I was tired...but she was no better !"
[23:03] * Vanal saddles up
[23:03] [Shakel] "Monks are people, too. And he's cute."
[23:03] [Vanal] "They're *monks*, Shak. Defrocking them is not something msot people make a hobby of."
[23:03] [Shakel] "We'll probably just talk . . ."
[23:03] * Maris chuckles, "If they had more hair they might be worth it.
[23:03] [Vanal] "if you come back with a shaven head, don't look for sympathy."
[23:04] [Maris] "I do think the occasional trip to the House of Bells to visit the pretty disciples is definately worth it.
[23:04] [Storyteller] You ride along side the river, and it is massive. The river stretches to the horizon as far as the eye can see... massive ships sail it, ships that normally one would only see on the open sea, but thanks to the depth and width of the river, they can sail within the realm as well......
[23:04] [Shakel] "Besides, there have to be ways around that celibacy thing . . . what exactly constitutes celibate?"
[23:04] * Vanal smiles as he remembers the House
[23:05] [Vanal] "Hey...I think my talon rode on that one, once."
[23:05] [Maris] ((oh wait I meant the Cloister of Wisdom))
[23:05] [Storyteller] A few enormous splashes occur, but of course those are just river dragons having a good time.
[23:05] * Jynaru puffs happily away on his latest cig.
[23:05] [Vanal] "I would think noy having oral, anal, or normal sex, shakel."
[23:06] [Shakel] "I'll be sure and get back to you with the facts on that. Discoveries may be made."
[23:06] [Jynaru] "The texts are probably quite specific."
[23:07] [Vanal] "Will you share those discoveries with me if they're any fun ?"

[23:23] * Jynaru checks his equipment and horse and such.
[23:23] * Shakel waves to the children
[23:24] [Storyteller] the next town is the one.... and as you leave the town, you had the definate impression that something here was just not right.... but you can't place it, and investigation turns up nothing, so you move on.

[23:34] * Maris responds, "Definately not a bird."
[23:34] [Maris] "Maybe someone should circle back and see what it is."
[23:35] [Shakel] "Maybe someone should."

[23:38] [Storyteller] As you come over a final hilltop, you gain your first sight of the remains a city... farmhouses and small shops are laid out in a pattern typical of such lazy outposts on the edge of civilization, small towns with nothing to do but rely on themselves.
[23:39] [Storyteller] As you get closer, you realize that there is absolutely nobody walking around in it.
[23:39] * Jynaru has joined #pvpexalted
[23:39] * Vanal adjusts his daiklaive and makes sur ehis bow is ready to shoot at a moment's notice

[23:42] [Storyteller] One of the immaculates motion for you to approach it, cautiously, and the four dragon blooded monks begin advancing, weapons in hand
[23:42] * Tabius casts Mirror of Bending light including Cicada in it.
[23:42] * Maris approachs it as he goes then.
[23:42] [Storyteller] Tabius and Cicada dissapears from view
[23:42] * Shakel makes sure her breastplate is on tight and jiggles her sword a bit
[23:42] * Maris approaches it even
[23:42] * Jynaru checks his assortment of weapons, and opens his quivers.
[23:42] * Vanal gets off the horse and follows, notching an arrow and advancing slowly

[23:44] [Vanal] (cue the Aliens soundtrack)
[23:45] * Jynaru dismounts and nocks an arrow, watching carefully for any movement.
[23:45] * Maris powers up Strength of Stone technique as he goes as well.
[23:45] [Storyteller] As you slowly approach the city nothing happens... it remains obvious, and eerily quiet and eventually a tight circle has been made around the town
[23:46] * Maris checks for hidden observers from inside the town

[23:46] * Tabius and Cicada follow behind a row of monks on the right flank.

[23:48] [Storyteller] Cicada clings to your arm as she looks around at the eerie silence
[23:48] [Tabius] I move her arm to my shoulder so that I can cast spells should shit happen. I whisper that her shacrum should be ready :-)
[23:48] [Tabius] Can that thing return to her?
[23:49] [Storyteller] heh...
[23:49] [Storyteller] what thing?
[23:49] [Tabius] The Shakrum?
[23:49] [Storyteller] Yes the Charkum is a returning chakrum
[23:49] [Tabius] I have no idea what it can do ;-)
[23:49] [Storyteller] it is like a boomerang
[23:50] [Tabius] HAhahaa.... then it does come back.... excellent..... oh that will be so bleeding cool ;-)..... to watch a Shakrum come out of nowhere and return to nowhere :-)
[23:50] [Storyteller] heh
[23:51] [Storyteller] Actually I think it will not dissapear
[23:51] [Storyteller] if you let go of something it stops being affected by the spell, right
[23:51] [Storyteller] ?
[23:51] [Tabius] It should..... once she touching it again.
[23:51] [Storyteller] hmn
[23:51] [Tabius] An interesting point for sure.
[23:52] [Tabius] One can attack out of it and it will not negate the spell.... it just shimmers a little bit.
[23:52] [Storyteller] so what are you doing?
[23:54] [Tabius] Following the right flank of IO:s
[23:55] [Storyteller] ok the IOs are now completely aroudn the city and seem to be in a holding guard pattern
[23:55] [Tabius] We will start looking for tracks leading away from the town :-)
[23:55] [Storyteller] excellent. roll perception + survival
[23:56] [Tabius] no investigation? :-( 3

[00:15] [Storyteller] okay.. you see the sign of the unconquered sun

[23:46] [Storyteller] maris, you detect a hidden observer in a building in front of you... looking in you cannot see anything past the window curtains [23:46] [Vanal] "I don't like this."

[23:48] [Storyteller] it sounds like something inside collapsed [23:48] [Vanal] "building @" [23:48] * Maris looks to that house as well deciding to kick in the door. [23:49] [Vanal] (2 seconds) [23:49] * Jynaru leaps back and left, covering both houses. [23:49] [Vanal] (gyah, damn sis, away for a minute or two) [23:50] [Storyteller] Irin's troops draw their swords and immidately surround the house to your right and the house in front of you, communicating through sign language that each house has two doors and several windows [23:51] * Maris will go up to the house he detected an observer and kick down the front door. [23:51] [Storyteller] Maris roll init [23:51] * Jynaru will wait outside for any attempts at leaping out a window.

[23:53] [Storyteller] you detect no observer [23:53] [Maris] This the house I detected an observer from? [23:53] [Storyteller] there is a room at the end of the hall, you suspect that is where the observer would be in [23:53] * Maris will kick that door down then. [23:53] * Shakel sticks close to Maris, watching his back [23:53] * Werlynn has quit IRC (Ping timeout) [23:54] [Storyteller] Maris kicks in the door, a scream filling the air..... [23:54] [Storyteller] a little girl is hiding behind the bed [23:55] [Maris] "Damnit it's just a kid!" [23:55] * Shakel spins around to face the attacker, and relaxes upon seeing it's a little girl [23:55] [Jynaru] (Wild gose chase number.... 2?) [23:55] * Maris looks at the girl, "I'm not here to hurt you. We're looking for a bad man. Can you tell me what happened here?' [23:55] * Maris tries to do his best to be as unscary as he can [23:55] [Shakel] "Mela's Bones, Mar . . . did we have to trash her house?"

[23:56] * Shakel shouts outside, "Hey Jyn, it's a little girl! Maybe you should shoot her just to be on the safe side!" [23:57] * Maris sighs and heads out and to the other house and this time tries to open the door normally. [23:57] [Shakel] then she sees the girl . . . "Shhh shhh . . .no sweetheart. It's okay." [23:57] [Storyteller] Okay maris... you open the door.. it is unlocked [23:57] [Storyteller] The little girl cowers in fear [23:57] * Shakel tries to pick her up. "come on, we need to find your parents." [23:57] * Maris looks for someone in the house. [23:58] * Vanal pulls back his bow and scans for a target [23:58] [Vanal] "Bloody damned civvies." [23:58] * Jynaru groans, and continues to wait outside. [23:58] [Storyteller] Maris searches the house, before eventually coming into a large pantry, where two little kids, a boy and a girl, stand afraid, flat against the wall [23:59] [Maris] Any look old enough to tell us anything [23:59] [Maris] ? [23:59] [Vanal] (Mutter) "What in the 10 depths of Hell happened here ?" [23:59] [Shakel] picking the girl up, "can you tell me where your mommy and daddy are? Huh?" [23:59] [Storyteller] the boy looks slightly old enough.... [00:00] [Tei] "Any body see anything else?" Tei scans the city himself as well [00:00] [Storyteller] but he is still white with fear [00:00] [Storyteller] Shakel, roll charisma + presence [00:00] [Shakel] !ex 7 [00:00] [Storyteller] Shakel : !ex 7, 9, 9, 8, 2, 3, 5, 2, Successes : 3 [00:00] * Shakel also uses her total lack of medical expertise to see if the girl's injured [00:01] * Maris gets on one knee and looks to the boy, "I'm a Dragon blooded and on your side.

[00:01] * Maris tries to exude confidence and soothing demeanor [00:01] [Storyteller] Shakel roll per + med [00:01] [Storyteller] The little girl allows shakel to pick her up but doesn't stop crying...

High Realm? Old? I can't be sure [00:56] [Storyteller] (he's speaking in low realm, BTW) [00:57] * Maris gives him a look that would have the fool continue. [00:57] [Maris] "The other two?" [00:57] [Storyteller] "The other two were women... One of them transformed into a horrible beast before our eyes... the other.. she dissapeared in broad daylight... [00:57] * Jynaru calls out as he comes down the stairs. "Tabius! Someone find me that damned sorcerer!" [00:57] [Storyteller] he shakes his head, eyes tearing [00:58] [Maris] "They were all from this village?" [00:58] [Storyteller] He nods slowly [00:58] [Maris] "And they raped and tortured the rest of the villagers why?" [00:58] * Tabius turns towards Jynaru and out of the ether says, "What?" [00:59] [Storyteller] "They were good people.... I don't know why they did this.. they started doing crazy, insane things ... the stories must be true... [00:59] [Maris] "Do you have any idea where they might have gone?" [00:59] [Storyteller] He shakes his head no [00:59] * Jynaru blinks. "If you're in here, turn of your bloody spell and follow me. Got a puzzle for you." [00:59] [Maris] "Did they have any items like my armor and claws, except maybe golden, or silver?" [01:00] [Storyteller] He looks at the things in your hands and shakes his head... [01:00] [Storyteller] "No... they didn't have any weapons... " [01:00] [Maris] "Any horses in this village?"

[01:04] * Maris stops to look at the man before he leaves," Ask everyone you can about what happened and see if you can't find out when the anathema left and to where."

[01:07] * Tala goes out to interview any reasonably coherant people she can find [01:07] * Jynaru taps Vanal on the shoulder. "I don't think that's going to work. Let our invisible magic guy try." [01:07] * Maris looks for the head Priest guy. [01:07] [Storyteller] One of the IO monks that came with the talon is looking around [01:07] [Vanal] "Tab, try and wake her up." [01:07] * Tabius walks over to the wet faced girl and touches his finger to her forhead channeling a point of essence into her to see if that stirs her. [01:07] [Tala] !ex 4 (cha + presence) [01:07] [Storyteller] Tala : !ex 4 (cha + presence), 4, 4, 6, 4, Successes : 0 [01:07] [Maris] "Hey Priest!" [01:07] [Maris] "Where's your head?" [01:07] [Tala] [argh] [01:07] [Storyteller] The IO man looks up at you Maris [01:08] [Storyteller] "We will provide what care can be given... [01:08] [Storyteller] "But the Anathema are no longer here..." [01:08] [Maris] "I know." [01:08] [Storyteller] "I am the leader of this talon." [01:08] [Maris] "Ther's 4 of them." [01:08] [Maris] "No weapons of them, awake a week so far apparently." [01:09] [Maris] on even [01:09] [Storyteller] "4? we should be able to take acre of them." [01:09] [Maris] "They most likely took the horses out of here." [01:09] [Storyteller] The monk nods [01:09] [Maris] "And they left within the last 5 or 6 hours [01:09] [Maris] "You realize what that means don't you?" [01:09] [Storyteller] He nods [01:10] [Storyteller] "Get the rest of your fellows together. We have Anathema to take down." [01:10] [Maris] "We're ready now." [01:10] [Storyteller] He nods. [01:11] [Storyteller] "Do you know which way they went?" [01:11] [Maris] "Had we been here 12 hours ago we wouldn't have to know that. But as it is we'll have to question the children." [01:11] [Storyteller] He shakes his head. [01:11] [Maris] "I'd suggest you'd have your men do that." [01:11] [Storyteller] "The children have been hiding for days." [01:11] [Storyteller] "They don't know anything that has happened since." [01:12] [Maris] "They've been watching out the windows the whole time. [01:12] * Vanal awaits to see if Tab's efforts succeeded [01:12] [Storyteller] He nods, looking over them [01:12] [Maris] "And don't you have any trackers in your party?" [01:12] [Storyteller] [tabius, are you using a charm or something?] [01:12] [Storyteller] He nods [01:12] [Tabius] (*No, just kind of a spiritual jolt.) [01:13] [Storyteller] "They are tending to the children and others right now... not all of the adults were taken here." [01:13] * Jynaru has quit IRC (Ping timeout) [01:13] [Storyteller] [honestly I don't even see how you can channel a point of essence into a person] [01:14] [Storyteller] [not without a charm] [01:14] [Maris] "There's some uninjured ones in the Tavern. They can take care of the people for a while. The trackers are going to be needed to find the anathema. [01:14] [Storyteller] [now if you want to try a mortal occult charm, if tabius knows those?] [01:14] * Jynaru has joined #pvpexalted [01:14] [Storyteller] The monk nods [01:14] [Tala] [2:20 am] [01:14] [Storyteller] "Very well. We'll search immidately.." [01:14] [Storyteller] okay [01:14] [Storyteller] and that's it for tonight

[01:15] [Maris] Mkay
[01:15] [Maris] Night then
[01:15] * Storyteller waves
[01:15] [Tabius] (*No clue either, but you can channel 1 point to make your anima flare..... but I don't want that... but kind of at her instead.
[01:15] * Maris really wishes monks weren't so stupid. It would make his job a hell of a lot easier.
[01:15] [Maris] and I'll see you all next week hoepfully
[01:16] * Maris has quit IRC (Quit: )

[01:18] * DarthTom has left IRC
[01:18] [GoldenH] Actually i'm looking forward to Lunars the most... sideals work fine as god-npcs ;)

[01:19] [Werlynn] http://www.white-wolf.com/Brian/Lunarpreview.gif
[01:20] [FiatVictrix] I'll enjoy Lunar for being able to finally build Kookatchi, and trick some poor sap of an ST into allowing him.
[01:20] [FiatVictrix] Sidereal is just going to have to live up to my pre-written stuff, and I expect it to have some rather nifty bckground stuff.
[01:20] [ThanosT] Talk to you all later, maybe sometime during the week now that I have figured out how to log in here without having to start my computer over in 9.1 :-)
[01:21] * ThanosT has quit IRC (Quit: Leaving)
[01:21] [GoldenH] well I'm going to buy GoD and Lunar
[01:22] [FiatVictrix] Eeeeh! a MEG for a gif?
[01:22] [GoldenH] and then I think I won't buy any more for a while
[01:22] [GoldenH] they should really be using jpegs for this
[01:23] * FiatVictrix intends to get Lunar and GoD, but really cares mostly about the hardbacks.
[01:24] [GoldenH] it's a bitch to read that writing
[01:25] [GoldenH] well I'm off to bed
[01:25] [Werlynn] i ordered god, hopefully i will get it like tuesday or wednesday

[01:26] * GoldenH nods
[01:26] [GoldenH] l8r'
[21:20] [Jynaru] Voice me, ST-man.
[21:39] [Jynaru] Gyaaaaah!!!! "This is the time in Exalted when we run around doing everything at once!"
[21:39] [Storyteller] heh
[21:49] [Jynaru] You know what this means. Double-quiver. One poisioned, one not. "Suck 6L POISON, ANATHEMA BITCH!"
[21:49] [Storyteller] heh
[22:50] [Jynaru] It's amusing that in almost equal priority with "Learn Crane/Falcon/Some Named Style" is "Get more Craft: Gardening dots."
[22:51] [Storyteller] lol
[22:52] [Jynaru] "You ignored the sign, didn't you? YOU GOT ON THE GRASS!!! DIE FOR YUR IMPERTINENCE!!!! DEADLY WRATH OF THE TALON!!!!!"
[22:53] [Storyteller] heh
[22:54] [Jynaru] "I am the student of Grand Master Lorax. I fight for the trees."
[22:54] [Storyteller] oooooh, the lorax
[22:55] [Jynaru] I still remember most of that Dr. Seuss book. It came to mind.
[22:56] [Storyteller] heh
[23:00] [Jynaru] Hmmm... WOuld Jyn have known beforehand what path they would take?
[23:00] [Storyteller] yes
[23:00] [Jynaru] It might be interesting to meet up with the 6 at some point, maybe as a "hunting" trip.
[23:01] [Jynaru] Maybe around dusk, ride off and meet up with them?
[23:05] * Jynaru idly ponders how they'd hide Valabon's hair... Headcloth, I guess.
[23:12] [Storyteller] [Jynaru PING reply]: 1min 50secs
[23:13] [Jynaru] Aiya... son of a bitcho!
[23:13] [Storyteller] yea
[23:15] [Jynaru] DCC sucsk the big one with me, rememer?
[23:16] [Storyteller] yea
[23:16] [Storyteller] i was hoping. DCC has less lag
[23:17] * Jynaru can send, but never recieve, it seems.
[23:18] [Jynaru] Besides, expecting goodness out of my connect on a Sat is foolish in the extreme.
[23:19] [Storyteller] heh
[23:20] [Jynaru] ANyway, what with my nice massive arch powers and being all woodcastey, I figure I got something.
[23:22] [Storyteller] nah
[23:23] [Jynaru] Figures. Still, nice to know they're out there.
[23:24] [Jynaru] Oh, and I didn't get anything? No stupid wild boar, turkey looking for a nest, nothing? Damn.
[23:24] [Storyteller] roll wits + survival
[23:26] [Jynaru] !ex 5
[23:26] [Storyteller] Jynaru : !ex 5, 9, 8, 8, 8, 4, Successes : 4
[23:27] [Storyteller] ooh... almost legendary. Wild boar it is.
[23:30] [Jynaru] Bah, apparently I need to do it in there.
[23:30] [Storyteller] hmm?
[23:30] [Storyteller] why in there?
[23:32] [Jynaru] Wow, 4 ain't bad!
[23:39] [Jynaru] GODDAMN IT!!! MOTHERFUCKING RANDOM SHUTDOWN OF DOOOOM!
[23:40] [Storyteller] yea
[23:40] [Storyteller] [Storyteller] okay....
[23:40] [Storyteller] also
[23:41] [Storyteller] roll per + soc
[23:41] [Jynaru] Soc?
[23:42] [Jynaru] Last thing I saw in our private convo was me getting 4 sux on a hunting roll.
[23:42] [Storyteller] ah
[23:42] [Storyteller] okay you notice nothing amiss
[23:43] [Jynaru] Also, JUST when she shows up, we hit the Twilight Zone.
[23:43] [Storyteller] heh
[23:47] * Jynaru hopes to finally get his talk with Tala done.
[23:47] [Storyteller] coo
[23:53] [Jynaru] Hmmmm.....What's the three-dot artifact rules in the Bo3C? I cna make a case for this improving balance, but since I don't have that book, and it'd be graceful crane stance, not sure if it would fit in well.
[23:55] [Storyteller] I forget
[23:55] [Storyteller] i'll have to look it up
[23:55] * Jynaru shrugs.
[23:56] [Jynaru] We've got a while to get it done.
[23:56] [Jynaru] Also, Wer is driving me MAD!
[23:56] [Jynaru] Pingout?!?!
[23:56] [Storyteller] lol
[23:58] [Jynaru] I mean, damn, I disc, but I pop RIGHT back in.
[23:59] [Storyteller] heh
[00:07] [Jynaru] The T returns!
[00:07] [Storyteller] ya
[00:07] [Jynaru] That's the problem with the name Anathema. The singular and plural are the same...
[00:08] [Storyteller] [big evil grin]
[00:08] * Jynaru sighs.
[00:08] [Jynaru] I was sort of figuring that...
[00:09] [Jynaru] Still, let's see if we can up Jyn's Anti-Anathema total a bit ^_^
[00:10] [Storyteller] heh
[00:23] [Jynaru] Anathema... It's ALMOST too bad this isn't happening at night with the town on fire.
[00:24] [Storyteller] heh
[00:32] [Jynaru] WHy do I keep having visions of these three as being in a Episode of COPS or a game of Rainbow Six?
[00:41] [Jynaru] Well... that girl has to have something going on with her if she isn't dead.
[00:42] [Storyteller] haven't found many dead yet
[00:42] [Storyteller] maybe.. 5 out of 30
[00:42] [Jynaru] She's sleeping in a room, as opposed to being all wailing mindless vegetable as well... whatupwitdat?
[00:42] [Storyteller] people tend to pass out
[00:43] [Jynaru] Ah.
[00:56] [Jynaru] Can we assume I called his name or something as I went?
[00:56] * Jynaru is a bit annoyed with the whole invisibility thing.
[00:56] [Storyteller] ok roll willpower + occult
[00:56] [Storyteller] or you culd just call his name in the room
[01:04] * Jynaru sighs.
[01:05] [Jynaru] A motherfucking week ago? All 4 of the goddamned bastard Anathema back in
[01:08] [Jynaru] You, sir, are a bad man. Still, at least we're getting this bit out of the way now.
[01:09] [Storyteller] yea
[01:09] * Jynaru will enjoy capturing/rekilling the damned annoying bastards.
[01:10] [Storyteller] yea
[01:15] [Jynaru] Just out of curiosity, since I offed the newest of the Anathema(Prob Malkor, with my luck) with good ol Glorious Seed, If I bust it out against him, would he recognize it/hurt hm more, or do anything different?
[01:15] [Storyteller] maybe deja-vu but that's all
[01:16] * Jynaru nods.
[01:16] [Jynaru] Alright.
[01:16] * Jynaru chuckes.
[01:18] [Jynaru] It'd be sort of fun if he did notice it. "Yeah, bitch, I got you last time. You want some more? You want some more?"
[01:18] [GoldenH] heh
[01:18] * Jynaru got the damned No Such nick message when he sent it the first time. I stand by that comment.
[01:18] [GoldenH] heh
[01:19] [FiatVictrix] Good thing I've got such dodge and all, taunting the big badass Solar isn't the smartest move, but it'd be so much fun.
[01:19] [GoldenH] heh
