[19:54] [GoldenH] ' [19:54] [GoldenH] 'morning [19:54] [DarthTom] yo [19:55] [GoldenH] how was last night? [19:56] [Hikari] Quiet. The kids didn't make much trouble. They fell asleep just about right after we had finished dinner. [19:56] [GoldenH] ah [19:57] [Hikari] And my boyfriend was not a complete failure with children. [19:57] [DarthTom] always a plus, that [19:57] [GoldenH] indeed [19:58] [Hikari] Well, all he had to do was stand being glared at by two sick kids. And then help me carry them to bed. [19:58] [GoldenH] being glared at? how strange [19:59] [Hikari] I think the kids were nervous. They only know me. [19:59] [GoldenH] ah [19:59] [Hikari] So he was a 'foreign element'. [19:59] * GoldenH nods sagely [20:00] [Hikari] The rest of the night until the parents came home we just read and talked. [20:02] [DarthTom] a decent night, in other words [20:02] [Hikari] Very 'decent'. [20:02] [GoldenH] [g] [20:03] * GoldenH stretches, yawns [20:04] [Hikari] Hey! You cannot be tired now! [20:04] [GoldenH] just woke up is all [20:04] * GoldenH is not a morning person [20:04] [Hikari] I should be the one who just woke up. [20:04] [GoldenH] true [20:04] [GoldenH] I guess I woke up four hours ago [20:05] [GoldenH] I知 still in morning mode though [20:05] * DarthTom had a nap...he works at 7 tomorrow... [20:05] [DarthTom] I'm definitely out of here by 1:30-2 my time, maximum [20:05] [GoldenH] indeed [20:06] * Maris has joined #pvpexalted [20:06] [Maris] hey [20:06] [GoldenH] my parents are throwing a big party tomorrow so I値l have to wake up at a reasonable hour [20:06] [GoldenH] yo maris [20:06] [Hikari] Good morning. [20:07] [DarthTom] word up, homie-g [20:07] [Maris] what exactly is a reasonable hour though? [20:07] [Maris] I mean one can interpret reasonable in many ways [20:07] [GoldenH] 7-8 am [20:07] [GoldenH] irrational, is more like it, especially for a sunday [20:07] [Maris] jeesz [20:07] [Maris] sucks to be you then [20:07] [GoldenH] true [20:07] [GoldenH] i woke up at 4 pm though [20:07] [GoldenH] today [20:07] [Maris] coo [20:08] [Maris] that's always a plus [20:08] [GoldenH] yea [20:08] [Hikari] To sleep to 4 pm.... [20:08] [GoldenH] [g] [20:09] [GoldenH] try it sometime [20:10] [Hikari] It would feel like losing an entire day... [20:10] [Hikari] (I might just gain a night, though) [20:10] [GoldenH] indeed [20:10] [GoldenH] like how I lost thursday [20:10] * DarthTom can't sleep any later than 11 AM [20:10] [DarthTom] generally, I'm up by 10:30 [20:11] [Hikari] When you don't have work, I presume. [20:11] [GoldenH] Oh, sure I have those speedbumps in my sleep pattern. but you can always just go back to sleep. [20:11] [DarthTom] bingo [20:13] * Thanos has joined #pvpexalted [20:13] [Thanos] HRMMMM [20:14] [GoldenH] hey thanos, welcome back from your trip [20:14] * Hikari wonders if it would be considered impolite to throw the dear thing still sleeping on her futon out in the pouring rain. She feels a little bad about not being able to give him her full attention. [20:14] [Hikari] Hi, Thanos. [20:14] [GoldenH] if the guy's alseep, let him sleep [20:14] [Thanos] HI [20:15] [DarthTom] yo [20:15] [GoldenH] read the logs? [20:15] [Thanos] Sorry not being here last week, had a wonderful time in WY though [20:15] [Thanos] Not yet.... trying to get into my email :-P [20:15] [GoldenH] heh [20:15] [GoldenH] WY: land of rain [20:15] [GoldenH] or at least fog [20:16] [DarthTom] I thought that was BC & Washington ? [20:16] [GoldenH] Washington was clear and dry when I was there. never been to BC though [20:16] [Thanos] No that is Seattle ;-) [20:16] [Thanos] WY is Wyoming [20:16] [GoldenH] indeed [20:17] [DarthTom] Washington STATE [20:17] [DarthTom] not DC [20:17] [GoldenH] I know [20:17] [DarthTom] and I've been to Vancouver, Canada's Seattle... [20:17] [Thanos] Florida is another of those rainy states. [20:17] [GoldenH] we went to mount st helens [20:18] [GoldenH] florida was pretty dry when I was there too [20:18] [Thanos] ouch... why is it that its always raining where ever I go except vages :-=P [20:19] [GoldenH] heh [20:19] [GoldenH] it is always foggy in WY [20:20] [Thanos] ouhc.... 114 new messages in my email..... ouch [20:20] [GoldenH] ouch [20:20] [Hikari] People love you. [20:21] [GoldenH] either that or he's on a mailing list [20:22] [Thanos] A little of both.... its a lot of spam. I just decided that I wanted to actually pay for my email account on Lycos so I can have massive spam blockage.... this is idiotic. [20:22] [GoldenH] just get a hotmail account. I have three and no spam. [20:23] [Thanos] I have had 2 hotmail accounts for over 5 years and this lycos account about as long. I get a LOT more spam at Hotmail.... so much so that I pretty much let it go and now just use the lycos one. [20:23] * GoldenH shrugs [20:23] [GoldenH] must have left the wrong checkboxes filled [20:24] [Thanos] hotmail was relatively new back then..... but I had to go to lycos to find a place to put in Thanos as my member name without ANY numbers or anything else behind it :-) [20:25] [Thanos] big things? Damn it...... [20:25] [Thanos] I had thought I would be able to game till I was summoned to be a Groomsman and had to get there early and stuff, you just don't leave friends hanging when they need you. [20:26] [GoldenH] friends, family. [20:27] [GoldenH] it's cool. I guess you didn't miss anything except for a really big fight [20:28] [Thanos] Best friend first 2 years of College. It was actually 2 of his friends from where he got his masters that flaked on him. One we didn't find out about till 1 hour before the wedding. Luckily his real friends from SDSM&T had his back and everything went very well. [20:28] [Thanos] DAMN IT.... I wanted to get into a really big fight TOO! [20:28] [Hikari] But now, for need of bloodshed, Tabius will begin stalking and killing all the other characters PC and NPC alike! [20:29] [GoldenH] lol [20:29] [GoldenH] sucks that your friend's friends are flakes, man [20:29] [Hikari] Flakes? [20:29] [GoldenH] bastards [20:29] [DarthTom] I thought flake meant 'airhead' [20:29] [GoldenH] it does [20:30] [GoldenH] but they're UNWORTHY, pitiful, scum-sucking airheads in this case [20:30] [Thanos] Basically :-) [20:30] [Maris] flakes means they're untrustworthy [20:30] [Thanos] Exactly [20:30] [Maris] they won't show up when you ask them too [20:30] [Maris] and they have no sense of responsibility [20:30] [Thanos] 8 of us from Tech showed, only 1 from UoWyoming showed..... pretty sad. [20:31] [Thanos] And we had a LOT farther to go....... [20:31] [Hikari] Even to a wedding....? I would maybe start reconsidering some of my personal relations. [20:31] [GoldenH] indeed [20:32] [DarthTom] oy vey [20:32] [GoldenH] so did you get the phone numbers of any cute bridesmaids? [20:33] [Thanos] I flew to Salt Lake and drove 3 hours from there to get to RockSprings. We had people from Gillete (5 hours driving) New Jersey, Oklihoma, Seattle Washington, and I think 2 from Denver [20:34] [Hikari] Almost international event. [20:34] [Thanos] erm..... there was 1 cute bridesmaid out of 3, and she was in a serious relationship and I was warned off the first day I got there ;-) heheheh my friend knows my tastes ;-) as it were and she would not fit for a long term relationship [20:34] [GoldenH] lol oh well man [20:35] * DarthTom pats than on the back [20:35] [DarthTom] win some, lose some [20:36] [Thanos] ;-) yeah, but I got to dance with all of them and several other people, very entertaining :-) [20:37] [DarthTom] heh [20:37] [GoldenH] heh [20:37] [DarthTom] Jinx, GH, you owe me a beer [20:37] [GoldenH] what I owe you a beer? [20:38] [DarthTom] old thing from my HS, [20:38] [DarthTom] two people who accidentally say the same thing, first one to say 'jinx' is owed a beer form the other [20:39] * Hikari will have to remember that for when Fiat is online. [20:39] * Hikari will get sooooooo drunk. [20:39] [Thanos] Was like half the session last time about xp and how one can spend it? [20:39] [GoldenH] I see [20:39] [Hikari] Only the first 30 minutes or so. [20:40] * **Malkor** hands DT a beer [20:41] [GoldenH] if that [20:41] [GoldenH] there should be timestamps on that log [20:43] [Thanos] ah there are...... [20:43] * DarthTom sips his brewski [20:43] * DarthTom makes a note: have some alcohol before going to bed [20:44] [Thanos] what the heck do I only have 4 dice in? [20:45] [GoldenH] I forget, exactly [20:46] [GoldenH] it might not have even been for you [20:46] [Thanos] Oh...... ;-)\ [20:46] [Thanos] There are plenty of things, just nothing that I can think of that would apply to the situation ..... np :-) [20:46] [DarthTom] okay, so a quick recap of the ending. Two dead anathema, 2 on the rampage, right ? [20:47] [GoldenH] four dead [20:47] [Hikari] To roll only four dice, how sad.... If not on a virtue roll, that is. [20:47] [GoldenH] all known anathema have been splatted [20:47] [DarthTom] oh, alrighty [20:47] [DarthTom] ... [20:47] [DarthTom] wait... [20:47] [Hikari] So now we only have the angry spirits left to deal with. [20:47] [GoldenH] anathema are much weaker than I previously suspected [20:47] [DarthTom] uh-oh [20:48] [DarthTom] so, we need some new big bads ? [20:48] [Hikari] And the scheeming Dynasts... [20:48] [GoldenH] nope [20:48] [GoldenH] plenty of things to harry you guys with [20:48] [DarthTom] ...aw, I was hoping for a charismatic villain [20:48] [DarthTom] nuts [20:48] [Hikari] And the one or five traitors in our midst... [20:48] [GoldenH] we're missing three of 'em [20:48] [GoldenH] you would have had a charismatic villain if you haven't killed em all [20:49] * Werlynn has joined #pvpexalted [20:49] [Thanos] for heavens sake..... I missed a fight with the Solar.... DAMN!!!!!!! [20:49] [GoldenH] two [20:49] [GoldenH] hello werlynn [20:49] [DarthTom] Thna: don't feel bad, so did I [20:49] [Werlynn] hey [20:49] [Hikari] Saw orcs. Killed orcs. Give us XP! [20:49] [Thanos] *all but sinks in shame* [20:49] [GoldenH] Well I said I had plans [20:49] [DarthTom] good [20:49] [DarthTom] ...I thought we were heading to the threshold at some point ? [20:49] [GoldenH] now I don't though, I have no idea what you all are going to do [20:50] [GoldenH] at some point meaning... uh... god only knows when [20:50] [GoldenH] 1-3 months [20:50] [DarthTom] Well, for all we know, some sidereal or abyssal is behind all this [20:50] [Werlynn] Anyone kill thing in chapter 3 (won't say what) that took me over 12k xp worth of respawns to kill (hopefully those past this point can guess) [20:50] [DarthTom] I STILL don't know what the fuck is going on *g* [20:50] [Werlynn] of NWN that is [20:51] [GoldenH] what happens tonight is sooooo based on your actions that I haven't a clue what's going to happen [20:52] [Werlynn] cool [20:52] [Hikari] We head up into the distant mountains and spend a century meditating. [20:52] [DarthTom] Well, the anathema are gone, it's time for Vanal to go cruise for some chickas [20:52] [GoldenH] lol [20:52] [DarthTom] screw meditation, Van wants some tail ! [20:53] [Hikari] You're into Lunars?! [20:53] [Maris] we slowly but surely gain enough power to rule all dragonblooded for eternity? [20:53] * TheScreenJockey has joined #pvpexalted [20:53] [GoldenH] hey [20:53] [GoldenH] one more [20:53] [DarthTom] then we get off by Dace & company *g* [20:53] [DarthTom] *offed [20:54] [Thanos] LoL.... hehehe [20:54] [Hikari] So, now I have to figure out how to get Tabius and Juniper together... [20:54] [Werlynn] I'm trying to come up with a name for my razor claws. Any suggestions? I was thinking of something with a wave or water theme [20:55] [DarthTom] Hik: lock 'em in a room with lots of booze [20:55] [Hikari] Hmmmmm.... [20:55] * DarthTom scratches his chin [20:55] [GoldenH] teeth bathed in crimson sheaths? [20:56] [Maris] mine are Kraken's Claws [20:56] [Maris] so don't steal that name [20:57] [DarthTom] Raken-kay aw-cays ? [20:57] [DarthTom] err [20:57] [DarthTom] well, you know what I meant [20:57] * DarthTom is now known as Vanal [20:57] * DarthTom [~ltermac@HSE-QuebecCity-ppp3496571.sympatico.ca] has left IRC [20:57] * Vanal [~ltermac@HSE-QuebecCity-ppp3496571.sympatico.ca] is on IRC (00:13) [20:57] [GoldenH] heh [20:57] * Vanal [~ltermac@HSE-QuebecCity-ppp3496571.sympatico.ca] is on IRC [20:57] [Vanal] eh, still a bit early [20:58] * Vanal is now known as ObiTomKenobi [20:58] * Vanal [~ltermac@HSE-QuebecCity-ppp3496571.sympatico.ca] has left IRC [20:58] [GoldenH] 3 minutes or so [20:58] [ObiTomKenobi] 3 [20:58] [ObiTomKenobi] 2 [20:58] [ObiTomKenobi] 1 [20:58] [Hikari] YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!!! [20:58] * ObiTomKenobi waits for it [20:58] [ObiTomKenobi] we have fangirl scream [20:58] * GoldenH falls off his chair [20:58] [Thanos] who is Bentharr? [20:58] [ObiTomKenobi] I repeat, we have fangirl scream [20:58] [Hikari] YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!! [20:58] [GoldenH] I guess we are all here [20:59] * ObiTomKenobi adjust his ear plugs [20:59] [GoldenH] Bentharr is the captain of the guard's protégé [20:59] * Hikari toss ObiTomKenobi the keys to her room. [20:59] [Thanos] Ah..... makes sense then [20:59] [GoldenH] yeap [21:00] [Werlynn] 13th Warrior on Sci-Fi [21:00] [TheScreenJockey] so uh, is Shakel dead, or just INC? 'cause if she's dead, well, i'd like to make a new character :) [21:01] [GoldenH] the muslim in Europe? [21:01] [GoldenH] INC [21:01] [ObiTomKenobi] smoke me a kipper, skipper ! I'll be back before dinner ! [21:01] * ObiTomKenobi is now known as Vanal [21:01] * Vanal [~ltermac@HSE-QuebecCity-ppp3496571.sympatico.ca] is on IRC (00:13) [21:01] [GoldenH] unless you want to make a new character [21:01] [GoldenH] takes a while to heal back from INC [21:01] [Hikari] What a guy!! [21:01] [Vanal] unless we've got some l33t healing charms [21:01] [GoldenH] true [21:01] [GoldenH] but we don't [21:02] [Vanal] we don't have ONE bloody doc amongst us ? [21:02] [GoldenH] nope [21:02] [Vanal] oy [21:02] [Thanos] None...... [21:02] [Vanal] Where's the gruesome twosome when you need 'em, eh GH ? [21:02] [GoldenH] well hikari and tei have the skill, but they doesn't have any charms [21:02] [Hikari] No-one with charms at least. [21:02] [TheScreenJockey] well, I figure either way I may be out of the loop for longer than the storyline allows . . . so if me making a new character would be easier, I happen to have a bunch of ideas floating around in my head [21:02] [TheScreenJockey] could probably have one for you by the end of your session tonight [21:03] [Vanal] alrighty [21:03] [GoldenH] it's up to you, really. [21:03] [Hikari] I was starting to get used to Shakel. [21:03] [Hikari] Oh well. [21:03] [GoldenH] indeed [21:03] [GoldenH] actually i think somebody MIGHT have a hearthstone [21:03] [TheScreenJockey] well honestly, did you anticipate a rather extended break in things right about now? [21:03] [GoldenH] let me check [21:04] [Thanos] brb [21:04] [Hikari] Though all she did was running around grapping men and splattering Anathema's breastplates with blood. [21:04] [GoldenH] what does a Stone of Healing do? [21:04] [GoldenH] is that cannon or not? [21:05] [TheScreenJockey] I知 almost sure my connection problems contributed to my poor judgment there :) [21:05] * Hikari ALMOST misses D&D style healing potions. [21:05] [Werlynn] There is 1 stone in the zenith book I know of [21:05] [Werlynn] but its level 4 [21:06] [GoldenH] hmm [21:06] [GoldenH] no it's not level 4 [21:06] [TheScreenJockey] just for the sake of getting back in the action without a bunch of rigamaroll (i have no idea how that's spelled, but have finally gotten to use it in conversation) . . . i'll make a new character, eh? [21:06] [GoldenH] if you wish [21:07] [TheScreenJockey] how many Immaculates does this group already have? [21:07] [GoldenH] but we have to start now [21:07] [GoldenH] two [21:07] [Maris] 2 [21:07] * Maris is ready then [21:07] [TheScreenJockey] hmm, could it stand another? [21:07] [GoldenH] I dunno [21:07] [GoldenH] what you think, Werlynn? [21:07] [TheScreenJockey] Wood style, I'm thinking [21:08] [GoldenH] don't have one of those yet [21:08] * Retrieving #pvpexalted info... [21:08] [GoldenH] what do you all think? [21:08] [Hikari] Okay, how does I change my name on this mIRC thing? [21:08] [Werlynn] Wood is cool [21:08] [Vanal] - /nick (new name) [21:08] [Werlynn] So is wind [21:08] [TheScreenJockey] "/nick newname" [21:09] * Hikari is now known as Cicada [21:09] * Hikari [Hikari@zaqd378a72e.zaq.ne.jp] has left IRC [21:09] * Cicada [Hikari@zaqd378a72e.zaq.ne.jp] is on IRC (00:13) [21:09] [GoldenH] Or we can just assume that jynaru lends you his healing hearthstone [21:09] [Werlynn] how does she attune to his manse? [21:09] [GoldenH] true [21:09] [GoldenH] wish I had more info on the stone [21:09] [GoldenH] maybe it was on the compendium [21:09] [TheScreenJockey] there's that rigamaroll I was talking about, it's okay, really [21:10] [GoldenH] ok [21:10] [TheScreenJockey] I hadn't racked up much XP to lose, so . . . [21:10] [TheScreenJockey] I致e delayed the festivities enough now . . . mind if I stand by quietly just to keep an eye on the storyline? [21:10] [Werlynn] There's a Stone of Healing in the main book but it just adds to your medicine ability [21:10] [GoldenH] Ah [21:10] [GoldenH] that's probably it then [21:11] [GoldenH] ok lets start where we left off [21:11] [Werlynn] If she takes Wood style immaculate then she gets the Style healing charms and can later pick up the medicine ones [21:11] [GoldenH] we need healing powerz [21:11] [TheScreenJockey] good, that cinches it then [21:12] [Werlynn] Wood dragon charms are self only till like the 7th one (not counting spiritw and spirits) [21:13] [GoldenH] Vanal's troops lay into the Anathema. One, who had tried to protect her compatriot, barely resisted against the horde as they executed her with a clean blow to the head. The then likewise killed her incapacitated friend [21:13] * Werlynn is now known as Tala [21:13] [Thanos] I am willing to spend the 10 exp for a spell that heals. [21:13] * GoldenH ponders this spell [21:13] [Vanal] (Geez...way to make them sound like bloodthirsty maniacs, GH) [21:14] [GoldenH] hey, you ordered your troops to kill the anathema... [21:14] [Vanal] true [21:14] [GoldenH] anyhow [21:14] [GoldenH] I had said that Vanal gave his men the day off for a celebration [21:14] [Vanal] so, it's celebration time ? [21:14] [GoldenH] so most of you were going with him to celebrate [21:14] [GoldenH] indeed [21:14] [Vanal] woot ! [21:15] * Maris decides to go with him as well [21:15] [GoldenH] so tell me, lord Vanal, what IS a Legion party like? [21:15] [Cicada] (whispers to Tabius) My lord, the matter of visiting the spirit remains unresolved... [21:15] * Tala was spending time training after the victory [21:15] [Vanal] as a certain blue troll said it : [21:15] [Vanal] Ale & whores *g* [21:16] * GoldenH is now known as Storyteller [21:16] [Cicada] ((Blue troll...? A smurf?)) [21:16] [Vanal] and of course, invitations to any and all individuals who wish to attend [21:16] [**Jynaru**] laughs [21:16] * **Tei** declines in order to likewise hone his skills [21:16] [Storyteller] [not a smurf. a troll] [21:17] [Vanal] ((gimme one moment, and I'll have a oic that explains ALL) [21:17] [Storyteller] [of course] [21:17] [Thanos] Healing Flames, its a suggested spell at the Compendium.... terrestrial of course. [21:17] [Storyteller] As you head towards Vanal's barracks, you notice that there are crowds gathering at the gates [21:18] * Thanos is now known as Tabius [21:18] * Thanos [~web-Guest@cm245.80.120.24.lvcm.com] has left IRC [21:18] [Vanal] ((GH, the blue troll thing...) [21:18] [Storyteller] [Ok, we'll assume you learn it, and use it on Shakel then?] [21:18] * Cicada casts a glance after Tei, then take a moment to steady herself and take her place at Tabius's side. [21:18] [Storyteller] [then you won't have to make a new character, TSJ] [21:19] [TheScreenJockey] [well then, all is well] [21:19] * TheScreenJockey is now known as Shakel [21:19] * TheScreenJockey [~TheScreen@1Cust211.tnt10.tpa2.da.uu.net] has left IRC [21:20] [Storyteller] Shakel is brought along on a stretcher by a handful of Vanal's troops; her wounds bound as taught in the Legions - well done, and nothing to sneeze at, but not exactly a professional job [21:20] [Maris] "Well that was certainly interesting." [21:21] [Tabius] can only do 5 levels unfortunately :-( [21:21] [Storyteller] [probably less, that was a pretty powerful spell. but you can use it more than once] [21:21] [Maris] "Should we report this to Malena [21:22] [Tala] [ [21:22] [Tala] ["only 5 levels" he says] [21:22] [Storyteller] [indeed] [21:23] [Vanal] "We're still alive..." [21:23] [Vanal] "I can't believe it." [21:23] [**Jynaru**] "Indeed, we should tell her. Her men are still looking for Bentharr, they must be told eventually." [21:23] [Storyteller] Vanals men are also carrying the remains of the Anathema, wrapped in the black cloth of the dead. [21:24] * Vanal grimaces and does the Realm equivalent of Crossing himself [21:24] [Maris] "Well I might as well head over there by horse and report what happened then. I'll catch up with you later. [21:24] [Maris] "And Jynaru, we still need to talk later." [21:25] * Maris gets onto his horse and heads for the Palace. [21:25] [**Jynaru**] "Of course, whatever you wish to know." [21:25] [Storyteller] "Jynaru watches Maris go off and continues walking along with the rest of the party." [21:26] * Cicada makes sure to avoid any eye-contact with Jynaru. [21:26] [Maris] gonna get there fairly fast and go up to see Malena [21:26] [Storyteller] You mounted? [21:26] [Maris] yeah [21:27] [Maris] just tell me when I get there and can talk with her [21:30] [Storyteller] allright you are told she is in the room where the party had taken place earlier. She is watching the servants clean up the mess and put everything away; already there is no food left on the tables, and indeed, nobody is there at all but the servants. Apparently she has taken the time to shower and bathe. her husband, the prefect, is lying on a stretcher besides her. [21:32] [Maris] "Hello Lady Malena and Prefect Tatashwan." [21:32] [Maris] "I have important news I thought you should hear from my lips." [21:33] [Storyteller] Tatashwan lies on the bed. Malena nods to you as you approach. [21:33] [Maris] "Only a few minutes ago I and my compatriots engaged 3 anathema at the Shrine to the Dragon in the east side of town." [21:34] [Maris] "One of these was Bentharr the missing guardsmen." [21:34] [Maris] ((I should have tried to get the heads for identification)) [21:34] [Maris] "We were able to defeat them thankfully and they shall no longer be a problem to your realm." [21:34] * Maris says with a smile dirt and blood on his head including some of his own. [21:35] * Maris has a glint in his eye of triumph. [21:37] [Storyteller] Tatashwan groans. "Bentharr? A Anathema?" [21:38] [Storyteller] Malena puts her head on his chest, soothing him. [21:38] [Storyteller] "For how long?" [21:38] [Maris] "I do not think he had been an anathema long. He seemed to mourn his fate before the anathema totally possessed him." [21:39] [Maris] "The other two I believe were quite experienced. Which would explain how they were able to penetrate so far into the Realm." [21:41] [Storyteller] Tatashawn moans. Lady Malena rises and bows. "Thank you, my lord. If you would not mind now leaving us? My husband is only just recovering. [21:42] * Maris nods, "If that is what you wish. Also some of the others have been quite injured. It may be a couple days before we are able to start looking into the matter with the spirits. But I will see if we cannot leave tomorrow morn." [21:42] [Maris] "I leave you to your husband milady [21:43] * Maris bows about as much as he is supposed to and heads out back to the barracks [21:43] [Storyteller] You see her call a servant towards her as you leave [21:43] [Storyteller] your return to the barracks takes little time [21:43] [Storyteller] indeed, you are there now [21:27] [Vanal] "If I ever HEAR of another anathema again, it will be too soon." [21:28] [Tabius] "Hear Hear. [21:33] [Shakel] sorry to interrupt here, and to be a pain, but i got hit with this inspiration as i was looking at Wood Dragon Style . . . so unless it'd complicate things, I壇 actually rather Shakel be shipped home to tend to her wounds . . . I知 usually not the finicky character-hanging sort, but, well, I really thought her gone [21:35] [Storyteller] I'd rather not introduce a new character needlessly... [21:35] [Shakel] forget it then . . . let's everyone welcome Shakel back [21:36] [Storyteller] ok [21:44] [Shakel] oh hey, am I better NOW? [21:45] [Storyteller] as soon as he says he casts the spell in the main room [21:45] [Shakel] ah, okay, wasn't sure [21:50] [Storyteller] make that second character anyway, it might come in handy later. [21:51] [Shakel] . . . I壇 actually planned on at least making up a background . . . maybe writing a whole prelude [21:51] [Storyteller] just go all the way. maybe I値l have everyone make a backup character [21:52] [Shakel] sure thing [21:28] [Vanal] "what's with the crowds ?" [21:29] [Storyteller] after a few minutes walking, you arrive at the Barracks. Many of his men disappear in order to make arrangements for the Ale and Whores [21:30] * Tabius walks over to Maris and the Lady. [21:30] [Maris] ((malena's back at the palace as am I I believe.)) [21:30] [Tabius] (Needs to know where Tabius is) [21:31] * Vanal sighs and pats Gehn on the shoulder "how're you holding up, old friend ?" [21:31] [Storyteller] Tabius is with the partiers [21:32] [Vanal] (and of course, by ale and whores, I meant...as much booze as possible, and as many people who wanna party as possible !) [21:32] * Tala stops the others for a moment before they all disperse [21:32] [Vanal] "yes ?" [21:33] * Tala gestures to the horse she was leading, bearing the carefully wrapped artifacts gained as the prizes of our victory [21:33] [Vanal] (what exactly did we *gain*? ) [21:34] * Tabius is thus with Vanal and Tala smiling. [21:34] [Storyteller] [a bunch of stuff] [21:34] [Storyteller] [you don't know exactly it will take a while to sort through it] [21:34] [Tala] [I think I remember most of it] [21:34] [Vanal] "Perhaps we should store it in a safe place ?" [21:36] [Tala] "I had considered one of my order's temples to be such a safe place, however you all fought hard. These are glorious prizes, and the warriors who slew the anathema can surely keep them safe. [21:36] [Tala] " [21:37] [Vanal] "Perhaps." [21:37] [Tala] "I know many nobles are fond of taking prizes from their battles." [21:38] [Vanal] "Taking prizes is...ghoulish, if you ask me." [21:40] [Tala] "Then I can prepare them to be sent to the Immaculates where they can be kept safe." [21:41] [Vanal] "By all means." [21:41] * Vanal runs a hand through his hair [21:41] [Tabius] 'It would be prudent to study them in my estimation before we sent them off. At least I would like to. [21:42] * Cicada suppresses a shudder at the thought of her lord even touching something that tainted. [21:41] * Tala shrugs [21:41] [Tala] Didn't want to deprive them of a chance to keep something if they want. [21:42] [Storyteller] naturally [21:42] [Tala] Could I trade that starmetal reinforced bp I was going to keep to a Temple for a jade one? [21:43] [Tala] I know it would take travel time, but that way I'm not keeping the starmetal but not losing armor. Otherwise I can try to justify it as "keeping it safe in the hands of an Immaculate Monk." [21:44] [Storyteller] I guess you can [21:44] [Storyteller] but you'd have to actually go to the temple [21:44] [Storyteller] or something like that [21:44] [Tala] ok [21:47] [Tala] I want some armor, but I know an immaculate in starmetal would be odd, except for saying "use their own armor to defend from them" and stuff [21:49] [Storyteller] if you feel you can use it, use it. otherwise, you'll have to send for some armor. [21:50] [Storyteller] you'll get it, of course, but you still need to send for it. [21:55] [Tala] Going to spend the 1 day not resting while I use Elemental Concentration to train Water Dragon Form, then will spend my unoccupied time resting to heal my wounds [21:56] [Storyteller] ok [21:44] * Maris walks up through the crowds of men towards the others [21:44] [Tabius] "One must know ones enemy to have a better chance of defeating them. We got lucky this time I think. [21:44] [Vanal] "We got very lucky." [21:44] [Maris] "Discussing the fate of the Anathema's gear then?" [21:44] * Maris says with a smile [21:45] [Cicada] (muttering) "Dragons be praised.." [21:46] [Storyteller] * Jynaru nods sagely [21:46] * Vanal shifts and winces slightly, finally feeling the aches and pains of battle [21:47] [Storyteller] Vanal's men return with wagons carrying ale [21:47] * Vanal beams and gives them a thumbs-up [21:47] [Storyteller] Whores start drifting by eventually, disappearing almost as soon as they arrive. [21:47] [Maris] "Well once we find out what they are I'll take a share of it then. I don't think I'll need any of it myself but House Cynis is always in need of more arms." [21:47] * Tabius (previous) stopped the stretcher with Shakel on it and began was looked like a breathing exercise for a moment. Tabius's anima flares or seems to as flames engulf is hands and he touches them to Shakels chest. The flames burn blue, white and red flicker along Shakels body seeming to mend the wounds before your very eyes. [21:47] [Tabius] (*Three levels of damage are healed*) [21:48] * Tala looks to Maris. [21:48] [Storyteller] Shakel becomes awake, finding herself in a strange room. The stretcher is in a room to the side of the main hall of the barracks [21:48] * Maris looks to Shakel with a smile glad to see her up again. [21:49] [Maris] "Greetings to the conquering heroine." [21:49] * Shakel sits up, about halfway before falling back down [21:49] * Vanal barely gives Shakel a glance [21:49] [Shakel] "Did I get her?" [21:49] * Maris says down to Shakel with a sincere smile [21:49] [Maris] "Ah well. You might say that." [21:49] [Maris] "But she is dead." [21:49] [Maris] "As are the other two." [21:50] [Shakel] "Well, she's been got, that's what counts." [21:50] [Vanal] "I still can't believe we took on all those anathema and lived to talk about it." [21:51] * Shakel pushes some hair out her face, "I must look horrible." [21:51] [Maris] "We had a hundred men behind us Vanal. And we worked extremely well as a team. The outcome was inevitable. Though I must say it did certainly feel rather like we were going to all die horribly at the time." [21:52] [Vanal] "Nothing is inevitable in battle Maris, EVER. ...but you do have a point. Now is not the time to mope, now is the time to celebrate." [21:52] * Tala sees that the artifacts are stored safely, studying them as she does, then goes pray in thanks to the Dragons, and meditate and practice. [21:52] [Tabius] 'That feeling could well have been an Anathema trick. We did let him sit there an awfully long time to bring his mystical might to bear. [21:52] * Shakel sits up completely this time [21:52] * Maris look to Shakel, "Well I have to say your not quite at your best. But all the blood and dirt has a certain charm of it's own. [21:53] [Shakel] "So who WERE those other two? With Bentharr?" [21:53] [Storyteller] * Tei goes to the walls of the city. At the top of a tower, he meditates, while overlooking the land to the east [21:53] * Tala also changes the wrappings of her wounds [21:53] * Maris shrugs, "I don't know. We should try and see if Melena's Maid looks like either." [21:54] [Vanal] "you do realize that we just beat the Wyld Hunt at its own game ?" [21:54] [Maris] "And it would be a good idea to keep the heads for identification." [21:54] [Vanal] "That's rather...morbid, Maris." [21:54] [Tabius] You mean Vanal that we beat the Wyld Hunt on its home turf? [21:55] [Maris] "Maybe. But I didn't get a very good look at them in the fighting. I'd very much like to have at least a second long look at their faces." [21:55] [Cicada] (whispering to Tabius) "My lord, has Malena been informed? I am especially worried about sir Illanador." [21:55] * Vanal waves his hand dismissively "Knock yourself out Maris." [21:56] [Tabius] (whispering to Cicada) 'I believe that Maris informed the Lady. If not, she will learn of it soon enough. Let them revel in the aftermath of a near Death experience. Its there due. [21:57] * Shakel slowly stands, cringing with the effort [21:57] [Shakel] "Now then. I need a few drinks and a hot bath." [21:57] [Storyteller] You are still badly wounded, but you can stand [21:57] [Cicada] (To Tabius) Yes, my lord, I understand. [21:57] * Maris waves over one of the soldiers and has him go receive the heads of the Anathema. [21:59] [Storyteller] Bentharr's head is still attached [21:59] [Maris] "And when does everyone think they will be ready to go and deal with the Spirits?" [21:59] [Cicada] ((that can be rectified)) [21:59] [Vanal] "I don't think we need to identify Bentharr. Leave his body alone." [21:59] * Maris tells him to remove it and put it in a bag then. [21:59] * Maris doesn't then [22:00] * Maris studies the others then and sees if he can recognize either of them. [22:00] [Storyteller] nope, you don't believe you've ever seen either of them before [22:00] [Tabius] "I can extend the flames of Healing only once a day, at best. [22:00] * Maris has them stored in a bad then. [22:00] [Storyteller] although you realize with a start, that both of their faces have changed since you saw them earlier [22:01] * Maris frowns and looks at the faces again [22:01] [Maris] "This is strange [22:01] [Storyteller] and their bodies too. their general build, shape, form [22:01] [Maris] "They don't look the same anymore. [22:01] [Shakel] "Once a day? I should be ready tomorrow then . . . Strange, Maris?" [22:01] * Maris looks at Bentharr and sees if he changed any [22:01] [Storyteller] Bentharr remains the same [22:02] * Maris tries to recall what they looked like before and how much they've changed in appearance [22:02] [Storyteller] you wouldn't have recognized them for the same person, not by a long shot [22:03] [Tabius] "That is correct Shakel. Its a very deep investment." Tabius's Anima banner is still flaring even though many minutes have past. [22:03] [Maris] "Does anyone understand why their bodies would change in death?" [22:03] [Tabius] "Perhaps they are Lunar? [22:03] [Shakel] "Infernal powers? No doubt returning to their true forms once dead." [22:03] [Vanal] "Perhaps they weren't the actual anathema ?" [22:04] [Maris] "Why wouldn't they be? They were carrying an awful lot of magic on there person." [22:04] * Shakel stares at Vanal utterly aghast . . . "Would you like to see my wounds one more time?" [22:04] [Storyteller] it's a pretty impressive wound [22:05] [Storyteller] even after the healing, there is still a deep gash in her side [22:05] * Vanal looks at Shakel [22:05] [Vanal] "not necessary. " [22:05] [Storyteller] only her Exalted powers prevent her from bleeding to death [22:07] [Storyteller] Tei arrives, watching silently [22:10] * Tala isn't at the party [22:11] [Storyteller] no [22:11] [Storyteller] I know where are you he will come find where you are [22:14] * Tala looks at Tei [22:14] [Tala] "Greetings." [22:18] [Storyteller] He smiles. "A message has arrived from the temple." [22:19] [Tala] "Excellent. What do they say?" [22:20] [Storyteller] He grimly hands you the letter [22:20] [Storyteller] It reads as follows [22:21] [Storyteller] The spirits to whom the temple were dedicated were Anathema. If the temple has been violated, the spirits of the area will stop at nothing to destroy the city. [22:21] [Storyteller] You must defend the city until reinforcements can arrive. They are likely to make their move within three days [22:25] * Tala 's expression looks grave [22:25] [Storyteller] Tei nods sadly [22:25] [Storyteller] "Normally, I would expect to make a pact. The wording seems to deny us that option." [22:26] * Tala nods. [22:26] [Tala] "According to the message the spirits actually were anathema." [22:26] [Tala] "Their souls that is." [22:26] [Tala] "Thus they have at least most of the power they possessed in life, a millennia ago. [22:26] [Tala] " [22:29] [Storyteller] Tei nods sadly [22:29] [Tala] "We must inform the others." [22:29] [Tala] "I will follow as quickly as I can." [22:29] [Storyteller] Tei nods and leaves you. [22:31] * Tala checks her bandages then follows Tei [22:50] [Tala] Oh, was that 3 days from when the message was sent to us, or 3 days from now? [22:50] [Storyteller] from now [22:05] [Vanal] "And I'm a pessimist Maris, you should know that by now." [22:05] [Shakel] "If these were not Anathema, they at least weren't human." [22:06] [Maris] "Do you think they could change shape further?" [22:06] [Storyteller] A few of Vanal's men return to the main hall with their ladies of ill repute. Apparently, somebody hired a bard [22:07] [Shakel] upon hearing the music. "Why didn't you tell me there was a party?!" [22:07] [Storyteller] music plays quietly [22:08] [Vanal] "...because you're wounded ?!" [22:08] * Tabius is happy to see a bard, maybe he will make a tale of the horrid battle. [22:08] [Shakel] "So no dancing then. I can live with that." [22:08] [Storyteller] shakel- you are at -2 [22:08] [Shakel] [[well, I can still drink and look pretty]] [22:08] [Shakel] [[and then pass out]] [22:09] [Storyteller] And food [22:09] [Cicada] [[And -2 wounds are great for pity sex ;)]] [22:09] [Shakel] "There's drink and there's song and we're . . . in here?" [22:10] [Maris] "Perhaps we should agree to leave tomorrow morning?" [22:10] [Vanal] "She does have a point." [22:10] [Maris] "I don't think this is really over yet." [22:10] [Maris] "/me looks at the others. [22:10] * Maris looks to the others [22:10] [Vanal] "Not by a long shot Maris...matters like this NEVER end this easily." [22:11] [Tabius] "No I do not think it is over" [22:11] [Maris] "So tomorrow then?" [22:11] [Tabius] It depends on how ready and wounded everybody is? [22:11] * Maris is at -2 [22:11] * Maris is at -1 even [22:11] [Maris] But just barely [22:11] [Vanal] "Perhaps we should heal up first ?" [22:12] [Maris] "There are still multitudes of bandits out there and the spirits will still be restless." [22:12] [Storyteller] The soldiers don't seem to have any need to heal up :) [22:12] [Maris] "We should deal with both before it's starts getting ugly." [22:12] [Storyteller] Jynaru wanders outside for some fresh air [22:13] * Vanal nods [22:13] * Maris watches Jynaru [22:13] [Maris] "By the grace of the dragons we will not need to fight so hard as we did today though." [22:14] [Shakel] "Tabius, I'll see you tomorrow again then? You can tend to these wounds?" [22:14] [Tabius] 'The troops just need leaders, both Vanal and I can spend a few days in the woods while the rest of you heal up? [22:14] * Tabius nods to Shakel, "Actually about this time tomorrow. [22:14] [Maris] "I'll go with you as well." [22:14] * Vanal nods [22:14] [Maris] "I'm not so badly injured that I need to stay here." [22:15] [Shakel] "Excellent . . . now gentlemen, there is a party that is woefully without my presence." [22:15] [Maris] "We'll meet at the south gate at 10 then?" [22:15] * Shakel starts limping for the door, and the party [22:15] [Storyteller] A small group of soldiers arrives. One of them is casting his eyes around the building, you recognize him as Illanador, Captain of the Guard. [22:15] * Shakel looks for a convenient crutch on the way [22:15] [Cicada] [gotta admire her fighting spirit] [22:15] [Storyteller] The arrive, but make room for Shakel to leave [22:15] [Vanal] "Can we help you, captain ?" [22:16] * Tabius looks at the CoP. [22:16] [Maris] "Captain." [22:16] * Maris says with a nod [22:16] [Tabius] ((CoG even) [22:16] [Storyteller] He bows his head. "My lord, I am told that you and your companions found Bentharr? [22:16] [Tabius] "What you knew as Bentharr, yes. [22:16] * Maris nods and points to the body nearby. [22:16] [Vanal] "I'm afraid so, Captain." [22:17] * Shakel activates Sweeten-the-Tap Method as soon as she hits the festivities [22:17] [Storyteller] He looks where Maris is pointing, and nods [22:17] [Storyteller] "Did he die well?" [22:17] [Vanal] "He did. He fought bravely." [22:18] * Maris refrains to mention he was shot down running from the fight. [22:18] [Storyteller] He nods, appeased. [22:18] * Vanal gives Maris a look [22:18] * Maris reaches down and pulls out a bag, "A moment Captain." [22:19] * Maris dumps the heads out of the bag onto a nearby table then sets them aright, "You don't know either of these two do you?" [22:19] [Storyteller] Illanador looks unhappily at the two heads on the table. [22:19] [Storyteller] "No, I have seen neither." [22:19] * Maris describes them as they were before they died." [22:19] [Maris] "And do those descriptions match any you know?" [22:19] [Storyteller] ".... "Before"?" [22:20] [Maris] "They didn't stay the same shape when they died." [22:20] [Maris] "Did you know either of those?" [22:21] [Storyteller] He shakes his head no, unhappily [22:21] * Maris nods and puts away the heads, " [22:22] [Maris] "Well you might have your men ask around to see if anyone knew any of those descriptions [22:22] [Storyteller] He nods sagely. [22:22] [Storyteller] "If you have no need of those bodies, I will take Bentharr. He deserves the honor of a ceremony." [22:23] [Cicada] (with bowed head, to Illanador) "Sir captain, you must know that what happened was in no way the fault of you or your training. And that sir Bentharr to the very last resisted what that terrible demon was doing to him..." [22:24] [Cicada] (bows) "I beg your forgiveness for speaking out of turn." [22:25] * Tabius only slightly raises and eyebrow. [22:26] * Vanal frowns [22:26] * Maris has quit IRC (Ping timeout) [22:26] * Maris [bjorndabas@user-2ivflqm.dialup.mindspring.com] has left IRC [22:26] [Storyteller] Illanador nods his head sagely, perhaps proudly. [22:27] [Storyteller] "The demons would not attempt to turn a man of no value to them. It is a sign of his potential what they did; I am only sorry that he could not have lived to use that potential for the good." [22:28] [Storyteller] If nobody tries to stop him, illanador and his men will retrieve the body and leave [22:29] * Vanal has no problem with that [22:29] [Cicada] [[brb, have to show a SO to the door.]] [22:29] [Storyteller] heh [22:30] [Storyteller] Illanador has now left [22:30] [Tabius] (*SO?*) [22:30] [Storyteller] The party is just getting started [22:30] [Storyteller] [boyfriend] [22:31] * Shakel is living it up as best her injuries allow [22:31] [Vanal] "well, if you'll excuse me, I've got a party to attend." [22:32] * Maris has joined #pvpexalted [22:32] [Tala] [still wondering where SO comes from] [22:32] [Vanal] {significant other] [22:32] [Storyteller] web [22:32] [Storyteller] wb [22:32] [Tala] [ah] [22:33] [Maris] ((thank you. anything important happen while I was gone?)) [22:33] [Storyteller] [last you saw?] [22:33] [Storyteller] [nm] [22:33] * Tabius is now smiling a bit having thought of something amusing/ [22:33] [Maris] ((captain saying that he'd have his guards ask around after teh 4 women)) [22:34] [Cicada] [back] [22:34] [Storyteller] [wb] [22:34] * Vanal nods to the others and joins the party, and begins looking around for any cute dynasts who may have decided to join in [22:34] [Storyteller] Tei arrives, waiting for Tala just outside [22:35] * Tabius is ready to PARTIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEY! [22:35] * Shakel is telling the soldiers how she took on an Anathema totally unarmed [22:35] [Maris] "Well I'll see you all tomorrow then." [22:35] [Storyteller] the soldiers seem impressed, not letting on that they were pretty much watching the whole thing. [22:36] * Maris heads outside and goes over to Shakel, "You need some rest Shakel. Come on over to my place and I'll see that you get it." [22:36] * Maris gives her a smile that says he has other things in mind. [22:37] * Vanal shakes his head "Damned Cynis, never think of anything else." [22:37] * Shakel eyes her audience, realizing they're not quite as captivated as they pretend to be, and then struggles to her feet, looking as least injured as possible [22:38] [Shakel] "Gentlemen, it's been wonderful, but we heroes need our rest . . ." [22:38] [Storyteller] murmurs of "of course" and "pleasant dreams" follow you as you leave [22:39] [Maris] "Allow me Shakel." [22:39] * Maris quite literally lifts her off her feet and carries her in front of him with both arms being careful of the wound of course." [22:40] * Cicada waits on her lord while keeping an eye on the crowd and on possible sniper locations. Trying to look less worried than she is. [22:40] [Cicada] [WOOOOO HOOOOO!!!] [22:40] [Vanal] [Huh ?] [22:40] [Storyteller] [wooohooooo? [22:40] * Shakel waves to teh partygoers as they exit [22:40] * Tala arrives a few minutes behind Tei [22:40] * Maris nods to the soldiers and heads off back to the Palace Shakel in arms. [22:41] [Cicada] [just cheering on the hot couple..] [22:41] [Storyteller] Cicada: highest combat ability + Perception [22:41] [Storyteller] [heh ok] [22:41] [Cicada] !ex 9 [22:41] [Storyteller] Cicada, 8, 7, 3, 1, 1, 7, 9, 3, 10, Successes : 6 [22:41] [Cicada] YEAH! [22:41] [Storyteller] Cicada: There are a LOT of places snipers could be. considering that there are no guards on duty, and everyone is partying. [22:42] [Storyteller] the guard positions are unmanned [22:42] [Storyteller] and the building is in a obvious location [22:42] * Cicada is going to have a busy night... [22:42] [Vanal] ... [22:42] [Storyteller] What, you going to tell your men not to party Lord Vanal? [22:42] [Vanal] good point [22:43] * Tabius, being unwounded, is also taking more of a look around than normal. He is not in a parting mood at the moment. [22:43] * Vanal shrugs, and continues having fun [22:43] * Tala nods to Tei [22:43] [Tala] "We should find the Prefect." [22:43] * Cicada brings Tabius a drink, just so that he can pretend to participate. [22:44] [Storyteller] Tei returns her nod. "I have already seen him; he is still recovering from the arrow, but at least he is awake." [22:44] [Tabius] 'Why thank you Cicada and just what I like. [22:44] [Tala] "Did you inform him?" [22:44] [Cicada] (to Tabius) My lord, I live to serve. [22:45] [Storyteller] Tei nods. "If I am not mistaken, he already knew." [22:45] [Tabius] "And and excellent servant you are, always there when I need you, willing to face any danger. [22:45] * Cicada stays be her lord and keeps an eye on the potential sniper locations. [22:45] * Tala frowns [22:46] [Tala] "Let us inform the others." [22:46] * Tala enters the party area [22:46] [Storyteller] Tei nods and walks up the steps alongside Tala [22:46] * Vanal idly starts chatting up a few ladies [22:47] [Tala] The wounded monk carefully makes her way through the partying crowd, mostly ignoring them, except to avoid bumping into them. [22:47] * Tabius makes sure not to be rude to anybody and of course nods respectfully to any dynast at the party. [22:47] [Storyteller] Many ladies seem interested in chatting with you, Vanal. It seems like every lady of the pool house has been enticed into coming here [22:48] [Vanal] pool house ? [22:48] * Tala nods to Tabius. [22:48] [Storyteller] they got paid to come here [22:48] [Vanal] oh [22:48] [Storyteller] Tei walks along side her [22:48] * Tala notes that he is less involved with the festivities and chooses to bring her news to him first [22:48] [Storyteller] "Good afternoon, Tabius" [22:49] [Tala] "I bring important news Tabius." [22:49] [Tabius] "Good afternoon" says as he smiles, [22:50] [Tabius] "Oh? Do tell" [22:50] [Storyteller] somebody swings through the air on a rope. Giggling comes from the second floor. [22:50] * Vanal looks up [22:50] [Vanal] "Mela's Ghost...give them one night to party..." [22:51] [Storyteller] two women watch after some stuntman [22:51] [Storyteller] fawn, more like it [22:51] [Tala] "My inquires to the Immaculate Order have received a response." [22:52] * Cicada glances once at Tei, then quickly look away. [22:52] [Tabius] "Most exciting and this quickly," [22:52] [Tala] "I would say fortunate, rather than exciting." [22:53] [Storyteller] tei observes the party and discussion, not seeming to notice cicada's glance [22:53] [Tala] "They also knew of the legend and have sent word that we have but 3 days to prepare to defend against what ever the spirits of the Anathema from the temple may send against us." [22:54] [Tala] "The spirits will stop at nothing to destroy the city and we must defend it until reinforcements can arrive." [22:54] [Tabius] "That is most interesting and unfortunate. [22:55] [Tala] "They are likely to attack within three days. [22:55] [Storyteller] "Not just the Anathema," Tei emphasizes "But also the spirits of the land, responsible for the natural order" [22:57] * Tala nods [22:57] [Tabius] "Then they must be reckoned with before they get here. [22:57] [Tabius] We must choose the field of battle and not let them destroy our homes. [23:57] [Tala] not sure if you were disconnected when I sent this: [23:57] [Tala] I completed my training when I returned to my quarters since I had about 4 hours remaining, I would have gone to sleep around 12 [23:58] [Tala] also, can I make the morning conviction roll to recover wp I spent the day before? [00:02] [Tala] ? [00:04] [Storyteller] I saw half of it [00:04] [Storyteller] sure you can make a conviction roll [22:57] * Ledaal_Jynaru [Fiat@dialup-209.244.115.96.Dial1.Atlanta1.Level3.net] is on IRC (00:13) [22:57] * Ledaal_Jynaru has joined #pvpexalted [22:58] [Storyteller] hey [22:58] [Ledaal_Jynaru] 'ello, all. [23:00] [Tabius] (*Hello*) [23:00] [Maris] ((hey)) [23:00] [Cicada] [hi] [23:01] * Ledaal_Jynaru is now known as Jynaru [23:01] * Ledaal_Jynaru [Fiat@dialup-209.244.115.96.Dial1.Atlanta1.Level3.net] has left IRC [23:01] * Jynaru [Fiat@dialup-209.244.115.96.Dial1.Atlanta1.Level3.net] is on IRC (00:13) [23:01] [Storyteller] Tei nods sagely [23:01] [Tabius] To allow them to fight here only endangers that which we are charged to protect. [23:02] [Storyteller] "We know only of Feather's resting place at this time, however. And time draws close." [23:03] * Tala gestures to Tei, Tabius, and herself. [23:04] [Vanal] (aw FUCK...guys, I've got an electrical storm here) [23:04] [Tala] "We would be best qualified to deal with a spirit." [23:04] [Storyteller] [ouch, are you going to ride it through?] [23:04] * Tabius nods. [23:04] [Storyteller] [or turn it off like I am wont to] [23:04] [Vanal] ((It's pretty damn close...and hydro's been iffy with the power this week)) [23:04] [Tabius] (*does DT have a surge protector?*) [23:04] [Vanal] [I do not] [23:04] [Tabius] (*OUCH!*) [23:05] [Vanal] [So I'm gonna hafta bail....I'll read the logs...don't do anything big tonight, pleeeeeeeeease ?!) [23:05] [Storyteller] [I値l try not to :p] [23:05] [Vanal] ((alrighty, seeyas)) [23:05] [Storyteller] [cya] [23:05] * Vanal has quit IRC (Quit: Why do the Sith always take the saying 'strike me down and I will become more powerful than you can possibly imagine' as a dare ?) [23:05] * Vanal [~ltermac@HSE-QuebecCity-ppp3496571.sympatico.ca] has left IRC [23:05] [Storyteller] ok [23:05] [Storyteller] Vanal goes off with one of the pool girls [23:05] [Storyteller] into his private chambers [23:05] [Cicada] [Okay! Everyone off to fight the spirits! Right now! ;)] [23:06] [Storyteller] [lol] [23:06] [Storyteller] [too bad for him if you do[ [23:06] [Tala] "Vanal is a skilled soldier. He would be best suited to manage his troops and preparing the city to defend itself with the captain of the guard." [23:07] [Storyteller] [that leaves cicada, jynaru, maris, and shakel] [23:07] [Tabius] "Your assessment is correct Tala. [23:07] [Storyteller] "Shakel is still injured as well" [23:07] * Tala nods [23:07] [Tala] "As am I." [23:07] [Storyteller] Tei nods sadly [23:07] [Tala] "However I will accompany you." [23:07] [Tabius] "Very even after what I could do for her." [23:08] [Storyteller] "And Cicada...?" [23:08] [Tala] "While the message we received implies that it may not be possible, perhaps some of the spirits can be convinced to return to their rightful places in the natural order on their own [23:09] [Storyteller] Tei nods hopefully [23:10] [Storyteller] "Should we ask Jynaru to come with us?" [23:10] * Tala shrugs, "She accompanies Tabius quite often, I would not expect her to remain." [23:10] * Tabius nods at Tala's comment. [23:11] [Cicada] I go where my lord goes. [23:11] [Storyteller] "of course." he says with an apologetic look at cicada [23:12] * Cicada too glance away, a bit ashamed if she has embarrassed Tei. [23:12] [Storyteller] * Tei wasn't that obvious [23:12] * Cicada was. [23:12] * Storyteller meanwhile plots [23:13] [Storyteller] "Jynaru seemed to do well against the Anathema as well." [23:13] * Maris meanwhile hopes the others don't take off without him. [23:14] [Storyteller] [or perhaps they will?] [23:14] [Storyteller] [we already are splitting it into two parties] [23:14] [Storyteller] [Tala and Tabius shall determine the split] [23:15] * Maris lets it be and has fun with Shakel then [23:15] * Shakel tries not to receive any further injuries [23:16] [Tabius] "Hrmmm if we must split up then I would think that Jynaru, Maris, Shakel and Tala be one party, while Tei, Cicada, and myself make up the other. Vanal gets the troops ready, of course. [23:17] [Shakel] [[poor, lonely Vanal]] [23:17] [Tala] (having both wounded people in the same party gimps that party alittle) [23:17] [Tala] (both of us at -2) [23:17] [Storyteller] [I知 not sure how wounded Tei is] [23:17] [Tabius] "Two wounded should make up for one whole person in my estimation. [23:17] [Tala] (he's not is he? wasn't in the fight) [23:18] [Maris] ((he wasn't there.)) [23:18] [Maris] (( I don't think he was at least)) [23:18] [Storyteller] [he did arrive eventually... I think. Anyhow, Tala already offered to come with did she not?] [23:19] [Tabius] "I was just commenting on splitting up, if we have to. I think it would be best to all go to the Lair of the seeming chief spirit and negotiate en-force. [23:20] * Cicada nods in agreement to her lord's suggestion. [23:20] [Tala] "Then we need not split up our party so thinly then" [23:21] [Storyteller] [the is the Tei party and the Vanal party, it is between these two parties that I intend for you to split] [23:21] [Tabius] (*AH) [23:22] [Storyteller] [after all you are leaving Vanal alone, and at least one immaculate to track down the spirits] [23:23] [Tabius] (*With a Talon and my 5 troops he is hardly alone, btw what time did the battle end and what time is it now?*) [23:23] [Storyteller] [the battle ended around 2-3 pm it is now around 6-7 [23:25] [Storyteller] [so you want everyone to come with you on your spirit hunt except for Vanal?] [23:26] [Tabius] ((Shakel might want to stay behind if we leave in the morning since she can't be healed again till 3 or so. [23:26] [Tala] [Unless anyone wants to stay and help Van] [23:26] [Tala] [morning is the latest we should leave] [23:26] * Shakel would reluctantly allow herself to be talked out of going [23:26] [Shakel] keep Van company [23:27] [Shakel] I知 sure nothing could possibly go wrong :) [23:27] * Jynaru finally arrives at the party. (Oh, so complicated.) [23:28] * Tabius upon seeing Jynaru entering the party scene he excuses himself and moves off to meet him. [23:28] * Cicada go along. [23:29] [Storyteller] Cicada, Tabius, and Jynaru leave the party [23:29] [Storyteller] so 'sup with the rest of us? [23:30] * Maris is busy tell ten tomorrow [23:30] * Thanos [~web-Guest@cm245.80.120.24.lvcm.com] has left IRC [23:30] [Storyteller] Tei will follow Tala around [23:30] [Storyteller] well I guess it's just us two then, Tala [23:31] [Storyteller] what do you want to do? [23:32] [Tala] "I shall rest until morning so that I will be prepared for our departure in the morning." [23:34] [Storyteller] Tei nods. "Very well, I suppose I should do the same." [23:34] [Storyteller] Tei bows to Tala and disappears out the door [23:34] * Tala returns to her quarters [23:22] * Now talking in #pvpexalted2 [23:23] * Jynaru has joined #pvpexalted2 [23:23] [Jynaru] Oh, so complicated. [23:24] * Thanos has joined #pvpexalted2 [23:24] [Storyteller] complicated? [23:24] [Thanos] very? [23:24] [Storyteller] I suppose so [23:24] [Jynaru] Multiple windows, reading two logs at once, balancing the connection. AS some people say, oy vey. [23:24] [Storyteller] true [23:25] [Thanos] well well [23:25] * Jynaru sighs. [23:26] [Jynaru] Ok. So I nodded sagely, said essentially nothing, and then went home and am now returning to the party, correct? [23:26] [Storyteller] this conversation will take place in a temporarlly later time [23:26] [Storyteller] indeed [23:26] [Thanos] its real important when dear GH. [23:26] [Jynaru] OK. That makes sense. I shall ummm... tell them I'm at the party then. [23:26] * Jynaru is braindead. [23:27] [Storyteller] directly after Tabius is done talking with Tala [23:27] [Thanos] Ok [23:27] [Storyteller] and Tabius goes with Jynaru to his House to discuss [23:27] [Storyteller] perhaps with cicada [23:27] [Storyteller] should I invite Cicada? [23:28] [Thanos] she just invited herself by following :-) [23:28] [Storyteller] lol [23:28] [Jynaru] Cicada's following, so do invite her, [23:29] [Jynaru] Women can be that way. [23:29] * Hikari2 has joined #pvpexalted2 [23:29] [Storyteller] hello, you may have just typed /join #pvpexalted2 [23:29] * Jynaru sighs. [23:29] [Storyteller] mIRC is nice that way [23:29] [Thanos] :-) [23:29] [Jynaru] If so, you are our grand prize winner! [23:30] [Hikari2] How did I change my name again? [23:30] * Thanos is now known as Cathek_Tabius_ [23:30] [Storyteller] use /nick [23:30] [Cathek_Tabius_] Hrmm [23:30] [Jynaru] The magic command is /nick. [23:30] * Cathek_Tabius_ is now known as C_Tabius [23:30] [C_Tabius] Ah haha [23:30] * Hikari2 is now known as S_Cicada [23:31] [Storyteller] or perhaps [23:31] * Storyteller slaps Jynaru around a bit with a blue herring [23:31] [C_Tabius] I was thinking of a nice quite park, instead of a house. [23:31] [Jynaru] The joys of a registered name. [23:32] [Jynaru] Hmmmm... problem being security. [23:32] [Jynaru] I do have a garden, if that would suffice for the setting. [23:32] [Storyteller] Tabius, Jynaru, and Cicada walk towards the Ledall house [23:32] * Jynaru chuckles. [23:32] [C_Tabius] "A garden is wonderful." (*No thanks to the ST ;-) [23:33] [Jynaru] (The last thing we need is Anathema dropping out of the sky yet again.) [23:33] [Storyteller] [G] [23:33] [Storyteller] [prepares the anathema-shaker] [23:34] [Jynaru] (Wasting away again in Anathema-ville, searching for my lost shaker of assault.) [23:35] * C_Tabius and the party arive at the garden? [23:35] [Storyteller] indeed [23:35] [S_Cicada] Sir Ledaal, you wished a word with my lord? [23:35] [C_Tabius] "About that horse....... [23:35] [Jynaru] (I am going to assume we arrive with no further meaningful chatter.) [23:35] [Storyteller] Jynaru, describe the garden if it warrents it [23:35] [Jynaru] It does, considering the nature of some of the plants. [23:36] [Jynaru] The garden is a small area, with open architecture, and a glassed roof. There is a wide variety of plants, most imported from the Threshold. [23:36] * S_Cicada makes sure to watch the surroundings for eavesdroppers and/or maybe some of Jynaru's filthy mercenaries. [23:36] [Storyteller] perception + awareness [23:37] [Jynaru] Certain ones are dangerous, including a cactus with extremly poisonous spines,and a flower with an odd sort of sopofiric pollen. As guest, you are of course warned away from them. [23:37] [S_Cicada] !ex 6 [23:37] [Storyteller] S_Cicada, 4, 3, 8, 7, 6, 3, Successes : 2 [23:37] * C_Tabius nods to the warning. [23:37] [Jynaru] There is a small pool with the equivalent of water-lilies and small fish swimming in it. [23:37] [Storyteller] Cicada: you don't notice any eavesdroppers or mercinaries [23:38] [Jynaru] (tut tut. So untrusting.) [23:38] * Jynaru flags down a passing servant and calls for some wine. [23:38] [S_Cicada] (wouldn't you be?) [23:39] [Jynaru] (in the home of a possible enemy who has demonstrated combat ability and command over a tiny army? Maybe.) [23:40] [Storyteller] Jynaru's servent eventually comes with several cups and a bottle of fine wine [23:40] * C_Tabius declines any wine, he has already satified his palet at the party. [23:40] * S_Cicada tastes the wine before Tabius is even allowed close to it. [23:40] * Jynaru nods at Tabius's comment. [23:41] [C_Tabius] "So, lets be about this." [23:41] [Jynaru] "Indeed, a horse. First, I would like some explanation as to the earlier events. How was it that Cicada came to be following me?" [23:41] [C_Tabius] "She did so at my request." [23:41] * Jynaru idly sips the wine. Some rather good vintages in the Ledaal satrapies. [23:42] [Jynaru] "I see. Perhaps on the information of some anonymous informant?" [23:43] [S_Cicada] (looking straight at Jynaru) My lord acted in intelligence provided by me. Flawed intelligence it later showed. I can only regret my incompetence. [23:44] * Jynaru waves his hand. [23:45] [Jynaru] "Ah. I was merely wondering how I came to be followed, and my horse assaulted and killed. Flawed intelligence you say?" [23:45] [Storyteller] [can you three handle talking in two places at once?] [23:45] [C_Tabius] (*Yes) [23:45] [Storyteller] [ok then wathc it] [23:45] [Jynaru] "Considering the recent events, perhaps you should not believe all you hear." [23:45] [Jynaru] Probably. [23:45] [Jynaru] I know I can. [23:45] [Jynaru] (Caffiene is good. [23:46] [S_Cicada] Flawed in the way that I failed to know that you knew that Bentharr was an Anathema. Perfect in the way that I guessed that you intended to kill him. [23:46] [C_Tabius] "Exactly how did you know that Bentharr was an Anathema? [23:47] * C_Tabius smiles with a glint in his eye. [23:47] [Jynaru] "I KNEW Bentharr was Anathema when I arrived at the shrine. I suspected it when the corpse of the Wyld-Tainted one was found in his rooms." [23:47] * Jynaru is unimpressed. [23:48] [Jynaru] "Very few mortals can slay Anathema, so it reasoned he either had help, or was Anathema. If he had help, there would be a larger amount of information to be found." [23:50] [C_Tabius] "I do not follow. The wyld ones were dead, not the Anathema, whom would not kill his own. [23:51] [Jynaru] "You ascribe a great honor to the Anathema, Sir Tabius. They have been known to battle amongst themselves." [23:52] [C_Tabius] "In the first age perhaps when there were many and power was something to be wrestled with amongs them, but now there is no such power only the Divine Heirarchy denying their greed. [23:53] * S_Cicada steps back behind Tabius and kneel on one knee slightly to the left of him. [23:53] [C_Tabius] "Next time perhaps you should show a bit more respect for others of the dynast by giving us a bit more information about your suspicions and intended actions. [23:54] [C_Tabius] I would seem that if you suspected Bentharr to be an Anethema you would have wanted, nay needed, back up to take him down. Cicada was their to provide that help if what I suspected was the case, either way. [23:55] * Disconnected [23:57] * Attempting to rejoin channel #pvpexalted2 [23:57] * Rejoined channel #pvpexalted2 [23:57] [Jynaru] "That horse was part of a breeding program, specifically to resist our anima effects." [23:58] * Retrieving #pvpexalted2 info... [23:58] [Jynaru] "I do not think she was aiming for something else, as I have seen her in action, and she has displayed SOME amounts of skill." [23:59] * Jynaru glances at Cicada. [23:59] [C_Tabius] "Her judgment I trust. Until it was proven otherwise it was best to detain you from killing unnecessarily or getting yourself killed unnecessarily. [00:00] * S_Cicada return the look. [00:00] [C_Tabius] "Do you think that the two of you could have taken Bentharr and the two woman by yourselves? [00:01] [Tala PING] [00:01] [Tala VERSION] [00:02] * Jynaru appears to consider this. [00:03] [Jynaru] "As you have most likely been informed, I did have help." [00:04] [C_Tabius] (****Only think you missed was this((((([Jynaru] "Very thoughtful of you. Tell me, does she always help by eliminating useful resources?" [00:04] [Jynaru] "The two women were an unexpected variant, but I have many resources to call upon." [00:05] -] [C_Tabius] PING [00:05] [Storyteller] I think Tabius is lagged out [00:05] [S_Cicada] [He did indeed] [00:05] [C_Tabius] ((Nope?)) [00:05] [Storyteller] [ah] [00:05] [Jynaru] He is. [00:06] * Jynaru notes C_Tabius is a rather longlived ghost. [00:06] [Jynaru] (Hmm.. Odd.) [00:06] [Storyteller] [he's not a ghost, he just lagged out of the other room] [00:06] [C_Tabius] "Your _hidden_ resources or just that hidden. If your intentions had been known or unquestionable it would have gone down differently. [00:07] [Jynaru] (I rather gathered that from him managing to speak.) [00:07] * Jynaru nods amiably. [00:07] [Jynaru] "Tell me, Tabius. Is it wise to reveal all of one's resources?" [00:08] [C_Tabius] "In my estimation Cicada did the only thing available to her at the time, do you disagree? [00:08] [Jynaru] "After all, I believe you yourself have a few tricks up your sleeves." [00:09] [C_Tabius] "Do you disagree? [00:09] * Jynaru considers, eyes resting on the chakram at Cicada's hip. [00:10] [S_Cicada] [small of her back, but nevermind] [00:10] [Jynaru] "While I would have vastly preferred she spoke BEFORE she used the chakram, I can understand her actions." [00:11] [C_Tabius] "So be it." [00:11] [Jynaru] (EH, couldn't remember, made a nice focusing point, anyway.) [00:11] * Maris [bjorndabas@user-2ivfins.dialup.mindspring.com] has left IRC [00:11] * Jynaru nods. [00:11] [S_Cicada] [hmmmmmmm...] [00:11] * C_Tabius glances at Cicada, "When dealing with our friend Jynaru again, please yell out Freeze if you need him to stop." [00:12] [C_Tabius] (*LOL's*) [00:12] [S_Cicada] Yes, my lord, I will. Please forgive your servant's rash actions. [00:12] [Jynaru] "Remember, Sir Tabius, that trust runs both ways." [00:12] * Jynaru rises. [00:13] [Jynaru] "Is there perhaps anything else you wish to ask of me?" [00:15] * C_Tabius looking back to Jynaru, "Not at this time good Ledaal, let this be finished and all but forgotten, like the Islesli." [00:15] * Jynaru grins wryly. [00:15] [Jynaru] "Yes, the mysterious Iselsi." [00:16] * C_Tabius grins a bit as his eyes twinkle with a tingle of fire. [00:16] * Jynaru calls servants to clean the garden, and shows his two guests to the door. [00:17] [C_Tabius] "Good to speak with you. I assume you wish to join us in raiding the Lair of the Rain spirit tomorrow morn?" [00:17] * Jynaru nods. [00:17] [C_Tabius] "Excellent, see you there." [00:17] [Jynaru] "I would be delighted." [00:18] * C_Tabius Tabius leaves the house and goes to his quarters. [00:18] * S_Cicada bows deeply to Jynaru as they leave, then turn and follow Tabius. [00:18] * C_Tabius is now known as Thanos [00:18] [Thanos] I have to get going unfortunatelly...... :-*( [00:18] [Jynaru] Awww... [00:19] [S_Cicada] (to Tabius) My lord, it is none of my concern, but have you considered getting in touch with Mnemon Juniper again? [00:19] [Thanos] I would like to talk to Sable at some time.... Hikari would you drop me an email of when you would be able to during the week, during PST evenings (after 5pm?) [00:19] [Thanos] .......sorry, didn't think it would last past now ;-( [00:19] [Storyteller] can I post this long for the rest? [00:19] [Storyteller] log [00:19] [Thanos] Yes, please do..... a good example. [00:20] [S_Cicada] No problem with me. [00:20] [S_Cicada] As for next week. Do you mean chatting here? [00:20] [Jynaru] No problems here. [00:20] [Thanos] Solid solid RPing at its best :-) [00:20] [Thanos] yeah sure, or on ICQ if you have it? [00:20] [S_Cicada] I only have this mIRC thingie. [00:20] [Thanos] damn...... thanos@lycos.com..... [00:21] [Thanos] then here then.... have to go :-(* [00:21] * Thanos has quit IRC (Quit: Leaving) [00:21] * Thanos [~web-Guest@cm245.80.120.24.lvcm.com] has left IRC [00:21] [Storyteller] sure shakel you can get that [00:21] [Jynaru] Yes, we did rather well, I thought. [00:21] [Storyteller] nm [00:21] [Storyteller] yes [00:21] [Storyteller] Cicada I can instruct you in the art of ICQ if you like [00:21] [S_Cicada] Not too many things for Cicada to say or do, but quite good yes. [00:22] * S_Cicada is now known as Hikari [00:22] * Hikari [Hikari@zaqd378a72e.zaq.ne.jp] is on IRC [00:22] [Jynaru] Heh, wrong window. [00:22] [Storyteller] yeap [00:23] [Jynaru] Indeed. I'm rather glad things went as well as they did. [00:23] [Storyteller] not very bloody [00:24] [Jynaru] It would have been rather distressing to have to resort to blackmail, or other such unsavory activites. [00:24] [Hikari] You mean us not having to kill you? :) [00:24] [Storyteller] heh [00:24] [Jynaru] YOu could have tried. Remember the resources ;) [00:24] * Jynaru wonders if he spent too much time pondering the options. [00:25] [Hikari] Yeah, yeah. [00:25] [Jynaru] I didn't really need 10 ways to poison and 8 blackmail items. [00:25] [Hikari] Urgh... [00:25] [Hikari] Being a bodyguard is tough work. [00:25] [Jynaru] Oh, and the sneaky magic tricks. Can't forget those. [00:25] * Jynaru chuckles. [00:26] [Jynaru] Indeed. I intend to make you earn your keep. [00:28] * Storyteller is now known as GoldenH [00:28] [Jynaru] No point in having a bodyguard if there's nothing to guard against. [00:28] [Hikari] Oh, you make me so proud of my self. [00:28] [Jynaru] indeed. [00:28] [Hikari] Sweet thing, knows all the right things to say... [00:30] [Jynaru] Nothing but the truth, after all. [00:30] [Jynaru] I would be remiss if I didn't comment on it. [23:35] [Storyteller] well since everyone's character is preoccupied while I let those three discuss things in private, anyone have anything to say? [23:35] [Shakel] I like swords [23:36] [Storyteller] I like skynard [23:37] [Maris] I like cake [23:37] [Tala] mmmm....root beer [23:37] [Storyteller] root beer floats? [23:39] [Tala] (brb, getting another IBC) [23:39] [Maris] well it's liquid so I壇 say it floats yeah [23:39] * Storyteller rubs his chin sagely [23:39] [Storyteller] I mean, the thing where you throw some ice cream into a cup of rootbeer :) [23:39] * Shakel rubs his chin with sage [23:40] [Storyteller] what IS sage, exactly? [23:40] [Shakel] I just have to say that was one kick ass Immaculate I almost had to make [23:40] [Storyteller] not ground up parts of GoldenH, hopefully [23:40] [Storyteller] heh, you may need it yet [23:40] [Shakel] it's an herb [23:40] [Storyteller] I see [23:40] [Tabius] Rootbeer and Icecream is the bombo [23:40] [Storyteller] so is it edible? [23:40] [Tabius] Bomb [23:40] [Shakel] yes [23:40] [Storyteller] I concur with your analysis, Tabius [23:41] [Storyteller] with what? [23:41] [Shakel] it's a good Italian seasoning [23:41] [Storyteller] hmm, so on pizza? [23:41] [Tala] probably not [23:41] [Tala] not pizza anyway [23:42] [Storyteller] bread? [23:42] [Shakel] better on pasta, excellent on pasta salad [23:42] [Tala] Can't think of anything in particular my mom used it on [23:42] [Storyteller] ah [23:42] [Tala] but she liked to put it on stuff [23:42] [Storyteller] I see [23:42] [Maris] witches burn it to purify things [23:42] [Shakel] yeah, it's also used as a garnish [23:42] [Maris] sage that is [23:42] [Shakel] like parsley [23:42] [Storyteller] hmm [23:43] [Shakel] now I think I値l pop a pizza into the oven [23:44] [Storyteller] heh [23:44] [Storyteller] a wise choice [23:44] [Tala] now that we've all made me think of my mom's cooking, can we get back to the game? [23:44] [Tala] so I can stop [23:44] [Storyteller] well like I said, Tabius, Jynaru and Cicada are talking [23:45] [Tala] oh [23:45] [Storyteller] so perhaps I can make it continue [23:45] [Storyteller] very well [23:45] [Storyteller] does anyone else have any use for the party? [23:45] * Maris shakes his head [23:46] * Shakel tells him to stop that [23:46] [Storyteller] Maris, if you stay in bed till 10 AM you will miss the rest moving [23:47] [Tala] So you can have dessert, but not breakfast =) [23:47] [Tabius] (*Hrmm) [23:47] [Storyteller] heh [23:47] * Maris will be ready to be there at ten [23:47] [Storyteller] I think they're leaving sometime around 2-3 AM [23:48] [Maris] Hrm? [23:48] * Maris had made plans to meet them at the gates at ten [23:48] [Maris] If they leave before then without telling me I won't know [23:48] [Maris] Well I'll know at ten. [23:48] [Tabius] Erm.... no limit on when we leave, its just the healing flames wont be available till after 3-4 pm.... [23:50] [Storyteller] so do you all want to wait until after breakfast to leave, or shall you leave Maris behind? [23:51] [Tala] 10 is fine for me [23:51] [Tabius] Same here. [23:51] [Maris] For me too [23:52] [Storyteller] ok [23:52] [Jynaru] The more, the merrier. [23:52] [Tala] 3-4 would be pretty late since we will have travel time and negotiating time and return time [23:52] [Storyteller] Around 10 am, everyone who is going shows up at the circle at center of the city in front of the Palace [23:54] * Maris comes with his horse again and in his newly cleaned armor. [23:55] * Shakel gets cleaned up, including yet another heretofore unseen outfit, and hangs with Vanal, distracting his men as best she can [23:55] [Storyteller] A boat has been arranged to carry you to the south bank of the river [23:55] [Storyteller] Vanal seems to not like being left out on something important [23:55] * Disconnected [23:57] * Attempting to rejoin channel #pvpexalted [23:57] * Rejoined channel #pvpexalted [23:57] * Topic is 'Exalted: maybe six feet ain稚 so far down' [23:57] * Set by GoldenH on Fri Jun 28 20:52:36 [23:57] [Tala] wb [23:57] [Storyteller] thx [23:57] [Storyteller] A boat has been arranged to carry you to the south bank of the river [23:57] [Storyteller] Vanal seems to not like being left out on something important [23:58] [Maris] "His soldiers will be useful in case we run into bandits." [23:58] [Tabius] (*actually its almost 10pm here (11pm your time GH?) so ending here is not a bad idea that way Vanal and everybody can get involved. [23:58] [Maris] "I知 sure there's more then enough dragon blooded here older then us who can deal with keeping the city safe." [23:59] [Jynaru] "Bandits will be the least of our worries." [23:59] [Maris] "Yes well they will most likely by the most common. And I don't feel like fighting off bandits every couple hours on our way to visit feather." [23:59] [Tala] "We can deal with 'bandits' easily enough." [00:00] [Maris] "Enough men and the Bandits will leave us alone."

[00:28] * Tala is now known as Werlynn [00:28] * Shakel is now known as TheScreenJockey [00:29] [TheScreenJockey] I like the way things are going . . . my few sessions here at least [00:30] [TheScreenJockey] I知 actually just sorry i missed out on the earlier stuff, looking at the transcripts [00:30] [Jynaru] True that. [00:30] [Jynaru] In my sessions I've had intrigue, battle, socializing, and some amazing rolls. [00:30] [Jynaru] Can't ask for anything else, really. [00:31] * Cicada has got nothing to complain about either. [00:32] [Werlynn] It's cool. I'm enjoying the game [00:32] [Cicada] But DAMN I need to hook Tabius up with Juniper, if nothing else then because I need to ask her questions... [00:33] * Cicada is now known as Hikari [00:34] [Hikari] Doing it the nice way would mean that I could avoid having to sneak into her bedroom at night and hold a knife to her throat. [00:34] [Jynaru] Hmmmm..... [00:34] [Jynaru] Get him drunk. [00:34] [Hikari] HE is no problem! It is HER! [00:35] [Jynaru] Or get HER drunk. [00:35] [Jynaru] Shakel could probably help with that ;) [00:35] [Hikari] She hasen't been 'convinently around' for ages! [00:35] [Jynaru] Hmmmmm...... [00:35] [GoldenH] heh [00:36] * Jynaru waggles a finger at GH. [00:36] [Jynaru] Bad, bad ST! [00:36] [GoldenH] oh you have no idea [00:36] [GoldenH] just watch [00:36] * Hikari watches. [00:36] [Jynaru] Trying to hide away an important NPC like that. [00:36] [GoldenH] you could go see her [00:37] [Hikari] I really AM going to sneak into her bedroom if something doesn稚 happen soon! I mean it! [00:37] [Hikari] And the fun that would be (he he) [00:37] [Hikari] Especially when I get caught. [00:37] [GoldenH] And found out she liked young servant girls in more ways than three? [00:37] [Hikari] Hmmmmm.... [00:38] [GoldenH] hypothetically speaking, of course [00:38] [Hikari] Hadn't thought of that variant... [00:38] [TheScreenJockey] time for me to say goodnight to all [00:38] * GoldenH has a dirty, dirty, dirty [00:38] [GoldenH] l8r TSJ [00:38] [TheScreenJockey] "goodnight to all" [00:38] * TheScreenJockey has left #pvpexalted [00:38] * TheScreenJockey [~TheScreen@1Cust211.tnt10.tpa2.da.uu.net] has left IRC [00:38] [Hikari] Damn you GoldenH! My SO has left the house! I have got no way to relieve 'stress'! [00:39] * GoldenH feels bad now [00:39] [Jynaru] Awwwwww.... [00:39] [GoldenH] imagine how I feel. I don't even have a SO [00:39] [Hikari] Well, that is bad too. Sorry. [00:39] * Jynaru almost feels sorry for her. [00:40] [Hikari] (almost) [00:42] [Hikari] Not to have a SO to beat up when in the mood. A terrible fate... [00:42] [GoldenH] quite [00:42] [Werlynn] mmm.....This is a good episode of Wild On [00:42] * Jynaru chuckles. [00:42] [Jynaru] You could go hunt insects with that plastic smg.... [00:43] [Hikari] Actually I have been recommended a ultrasound emitter. [00:43] [Hikari] Seems as if the little suckers does not like that stuff, and it is clean. [00:44] [Jynaru] Do your neighbors have pets? [00:44] * GoldenH curses the ultrasonic whine of the TV set [00:44] [Hikari] No, it is a 'no pets' building. [00:45] [Jynaru] Oh, you're solid then. [00:45] [Jynaru] Wire that thing up, and given enough power you should be mostly vermin free. [00:45] [GoldenH] doesn't seem to work against roaches [00:46] [Hikari] There is of course that lonely looking cat that always sit outside my window and mijaw pathetically. [00:46] [GoldenH] heh [00:46] * GoldenH decides he's going to have to end the log somewhere [00:46] [GoldenH] anything you want me to leave out of the log, before/after the game started? [00:47] [Hikari] I don't think there was any deeply personal stuff this time. [00:48] [Hikari] Have you, btw, considered putting up links to the homepage on the compendium and such places? [00:48] [Jynaru] Nah. Nothing secret. [00:49] [GoldenH] I did |
