[21:16] "Renig...out of curiosity...why did you feel the need to go so deep underground ? I'm sure there were other ways to secure the...site." [21:17] * *Renig* smiles apologetically to Tabius nd takes you by the arm, leading you towards the far corner of the little shrine. [21:19] <*Renig*> "Ah, I was ordered to return back to the manse, but we both know I would have accomplished nothing there." [21:20] "I see..." [21:20] "and whom placed the order ? Gehn, I assume ?" [21:20] "Instead..." he smiles. "The Regent actually." [21:21] * Cicada begins shaking her head softly. [21:21] "I see." [21:21] * Cicada then suddenly begins tearing off the clothes she has been given instead of her rags. "Ugly! Get it off! Ugly, dirty, filthy!" [21:21] "Any idea why the Regent would give a rat's ass about one scale ? No offenxe." [21:22] "Mela..." [21:22] * Vanal hustles towards Cic [21:22] * Tabius looks at Cicada wondering what the heck she is doing. [21:22] * Cicada proceeds to clawing her skin with her remaining hand, trying to tear that off as well. [21:22] "Dirty! Get it off! Must get clean!" [21:22] * Tabius restrains her from removing her own skin. [21:22] * *Renig* shakes his head sadly, looking over at Cicada with a mysterious look in his eyes. [21:23] "Atune to the Necklace it will magicly clean you completely!" [21:23] "Tabius...we're going to need to get her to an infirmary, for her own good." [21:23] * Cicada has long since been cleaned by the necklace, and I presume gotten new clothes. [21:23] (*OH.....*) [21:23] [naturally] [21:24] [she's quite clean] [21:24] "Yes, but no tieing her down." [21:24] "I'll talk to the docs." [21:25] * Cicada struggles with surprising strength against Tabius' hold, sreaming curses. [21:26] * Vanal looks at Cicada "*Calm* *down*, Cic." [21:27] "Your safe now, no harm will come to you." [21:27] * Cicada tires herself out struggling, then slumps down. [21:27] "He killed them..." [21:28] "Who killed whom?" [21:28] * Cicada draws a heaving sob. [21:28] "Cicada, please...who killed who ?" [21:28] "He said I was not a true woman..." [21:28] "Who is he ?" [21:28] "And then he killed them..." [21:28] "He killed our unborn daughter..." [21:29] * Werlynn (~Werlynn@ool-182dcd08.dyn.optonline.net) has joined #pvpexaltedrp [21:29] hey, you made it [21:29] "Cicada, please...tell me...who is this ?" [21:29] "And... and.. when Puuhda tried to defend me from his blows... he, Tabius... he killed Puuhda as well!" [21:30] "Then he made me as this.. he said I was better like this..." [21:30] "He would captured us and boated us across creation?" [21:30] (*Would - who*_) [21:30] "Sanyet... something happened to him.. he went mad... he killed them..!" [21:31] * Cicada breaks down in sobs. [21:31] "Them ?" [21:31] "Jynaru ?" [21:32] * Cicada cries wordlessly. [21:33] "Cicada, I knwo this is painful, but tell me...was Jynaru one of the people who was killed ?" [21:34] "She means her baby and Poodah." [21:34] "Or were there more Cicada?" [21:35] * Cicada shakes her head "I don't know...!" [21:35] * Vanal nods "Okay then...no mroe questions." [21:36] "Oh Sanyet... why?! I tried..! I broke with him! I tried!" [21:36] "Maybe he killed Jynaru.. he accused me of having been unfaithful with him too... he might have killed him..." [21:36] "His destiny lays elsewhere, and sooner than later you will be avenged." [21:37] * Cicada cries in Tabius' arms, no longer resisting. [21:37] * Tabius craddles Cicada and just holds her to give her comfort not trying to restrain her.

I fell into a burning ring of fire, I went down down down and the flames went higher, and it burns burns burns, the ring of fire, the ring of fire' [19:54] * Set by Sam_Hall on Sat Jun 21 19:58:32 [20:01] Approve of topic? [20:01] is good [20:01] missing artistic stuff though [20:02] * Sam_Hall shrugs. It's Johnny Cash, man. [20:02] Much of it is in the delivery. [20:02] true [20:02] It's more meant to bring up memories of the song than it is to stand alone. [20:24] Dice Script Active [20:56] T-5 [20:56] T-4 [20:58] * DarthTom is now known as Vanal [20:59] T-1 [20:59] T-2 [20:59] T-1 [21:00] Game Start [21:00] oh no! nobody here but Vanal! [21:01] * GoldenH is now known as Storyteller [21:01] * Vanal scratches his chin [21:02] Ooooonllllyyyy the loooonnneeellllllyyyyy [21:02] Johnny Cash: I'm so lonesome I could die. [21:02] Want me to weep on Vanal's strong masculine shoulders instead? :) [21:02] lets say you're at the Cathak Vanal Park where your men are having party, you and renig leaning against one of the several pillars near where you killed Bentharr last time. [21:03] * Vanal lights up a cigarette [21:03] <*Renig*> "So, what do you think?" [21:04] "Quite nice...don't like the shrubs over there though...was allergic to them as a kid." [21:05] * *Renig* laughs. [21:05] <*Renig*> "I changed the name, not the plants." [21:05] "I figured as much." [21:05] * Vanal puffs away [21:06] "Mind explaining about Cicada ?" [21:06] * *Renig* looks conspiratorially around, seeing Tala chatting on the other side of the park. He shakes his head about Cicada. [21:06] <*Renig*> "Didn't even know it was her." [21:07] "It's kind of hard to miss her, don't you think ?" [21:07] "did she show UP like that ? OR did it happen whilst she was here ?" [21:07] * *Renig* shrugs. [21:08] <*Renig*> "I don't keep track of every cheap prostitute who hides out in the sewers. I didn't think to check who it was. I assume she showed up like that." [21:09] "I'll choose to assume that by 'cheap prostitute' you mean 'prostitutes whom you did not know were my friend' [21:09] Tabius you see Renig and Vanal chatting amiably. Vanal's talon is here, celebrating the return of Renig (who was apparently never being a traitor after all) [21:09] <*Renig*> "Of course." [21:11] * Tabius keeps an eye on Renig and Vanal, but the majority of his attention is on Cicada and what the hell happened [21:12] * Cicada is lying in bed, moaning softly in half-unconsiousness. [21:12] "How is she, goldenrod ?" [21:12] ah, right, Cicada was staying in bed. [21:13] * Tabius gives Vanal a glance that could skin a cow but realizes that he just has to appear tough against him cause of his men, "? [21:13] "She looks like she could survive. Her head is a mess. [21:13] * Cicada could be lying or sitting just about anywhere. She goes where she is brought without any protests at all. [21:13] "And Cicada [21:13] "she is...... [21:13] "I can imagine. You know I'm going to throttle the life out of ...individuals who did this, right ?" [21:14] * Tabius looks heartbroken. [21:14] "Yes, and I get to kill the bastards." [21:15] * Vanal pats him on the shoulder [21:15] "Of course." [21:15] * Tabius looks back to Cicada as she attunes the Necklace of Clensing. [21:15] * Vanal turns back to the scais talking with some shady character [21:38] "Tabs...take care of her..." [21:38] * Vanal pulls otu a piec eof paper and scribbles somethign on it [21:38] "I will as best I can." [21:38] "Go to the base's infirmary...give them this." [21:38] (basically a 'sure, he can use the facilities, and you listen to this guy good, hear ?' note) [21:38] * Werlynn listens to Cicada's story [21:38] * Werlynn is now known as Tala [21:39] * Tala listens to Cicada's story [21:39] (that's fine Vanal) [21:40] * Vanal stands up, sighs, and heads back to renig [21:40] "Sorry about that..." [21:40] Renig sees you coming and ends the conversation with the shady character, sending him back away. [21:41] "Who was that ?" [21:41] <*Renig*> "Just a associate. He says we can go tonight, if you're not busy." [21:42] "I have to attend to some matters with the unit." [21:42] "A bit later, perhaps." [21:42] * *Renig* nods. [21:43] <*Renig*> "You should see it, maybe you'll have an idea I haven't." [21:43] "I will, don't worry." [21:45] Renig smiles and schmooses with Vanal for a while, then. [21:46] "Tala, lets take her to the infirmory and get Cicada some medical help." [21:46] * Vanal makes a note to meet with Gehn shortly...his moral compass needs calibrating [21:50] * Cicada lets Tabius take her to the infirmary, suporting herself on him the whole way. [21:50] * Tabius takes Cicada up, rapping his cloak around her mostly tattered bits of left over clothing and heads out. [21:50] * Tabius picks up Vanals note on the way out. [21:51] The barracks are quiet, or at least, this part is. Not being on active duty, there's little need for the infirmary.. injuries issued during practice needed help? not enough woman in ya? [21:52] of course the infirmary is well stocked, and the beds aren't the most comfortable, but it'll do. [21:52] * Tala nods [21:52] "Lets go." [21:53] * Tala helps Tabius carry Cicada to the infirmary. [21:53] * Tabius calls in a soldiers and tells him to run and get a full team and to be very discreat. [21:53] what do you mean, you want a medic? [21:54] (*Yes or more if there is one*) [21:54] (Answer: Sedation. What, a normal medic can re-attach limbs and do anti-crazy?) [21:55] ok, a few medics come in and itch their heads at Cicada [21:55] * Cicada suddenly realize that physicians are being called for and recoils in terror, shaking her head in quiet protest. [21:56] * Vanal sighs and breaks away from the festivities after a while, seeking out his old friend... [21:57] "I just want a general work over, find out if she will live, needs anything immediatly, we know about the limbs./ [21:57] Gehn is chatting with a couple of the troops that's been with renig for the last year almost, but he stops when he sees you coming near [21:58] * Cicada cringes away from the physicians. "Please.. don't let them touch me... Don't let them.. let them see..." [21:58] The medics look at the lot of you oddly. [21:58] * Cicada hides her face in Tabius clothing. [21:58] "You know I have no skill in this area Cicada, somebody has to do it." [21:58] "Dragonlord." [21:58] (brb) [21:59] "I'm sorry but I'm not really trained in mental illness." [21:59] "I will deal with that, I need a physical examination. She lost a baby and has had serious trauma lately." [22:00] the medics look at each other and then at Cicada. [22:00] * Tala aids the medics in tending to Cicada [22:00] "I will see how i can aid them." [22:00] "She's a Blooded.. if she resists, I can't do anything." [22:01] "Cicada, do not resist, trust me, they are professional soldiers and medics. This is for both our peace of minds. [22:02] (back) [22:03] * Cicada is comforted only slightly by Tala's presence. She is downcast and utterly shamed as the physicians reach the result that she has indeed been brutally beaten by somebody who enjoyed it and had many instances of less than voluntary sexual intercourse the last few days. Enough to make any trace of a lost child unclear. But she is healing well - physically. [22:04] "Dragonlord...are you busy ?" [22:04] "Not at all, General." Ghen smiles at the titles. [22:04] Strangely enough, the doctors do collaborate her story. [22:04] "Your office ?" [22:05] However, they DO find a malformed, half-fetus, that is quite dead, but still inside. [22:05] Ghen nods and leads the way. [22:05] * Tabius {Infirmery} "That would need to be removed, correct?" [22:05] the medic nods. [22:06] "Cicada, are you up for it, should we wait till tomorrow and see if you have more strength or just get it over with?" [22:06] "Gehn...we've been friends for how long ? Almost 15 years now, right ?" [22:07] "Get it out!" [22:07] "Get rid of it! Get it out!" [22:07] * Tabius nods to the Doctors and Tala. [22:08] "I'd like to think longer." [22:08] "Yea. What's wrong, Vanal?" [22:10] "Renig...something about it doesn't add up." [22:11] "Well, he's never liked you. I don't think I trust him, but what's the most he can be looking forward to? Talonlord?" [22:11] " [22:11] "Probably. It's moire what he said down in the sewers." [22:12] "And what would that be?" [22:12] * Tala goes out to see Tabius [22:12] "She should be fine... she hasn't really been seriously injured, though I would keep her in bed for a couple days after the operation. She needs sleep and good food. The favor of the gods couldn't hurt." [22:12] "It is done." [22:12] "Well for one...you know Ren. He's all 'Order this' and 'the texts say that'...he's a beleiver...but he was pretty dead-set against them getting the veins outside the city, right ?" [22:13] "I wish we knew what happened to her." [22:13] * Tabius shoulders kinda slump a bit and he exhales, taking a big breath, "I think I gathered the gist of it, the deails will come later." [22:13] "and he said he wa sin this for house Cathak..." [22:14] "He's an effin' Peleps political appointee..." [22:14] "Seems about right..." [22:14] "So it's obvious he's got somethign up his sleeve...but WHAT ?" [22:14] <*Gehn*> "I don't think that sounds right." [22:15] <*Gehn*> "Could be he's trying to frame you for something?" [22:15] "That's my thought. [22:15] * *Ghen* shrugs, looking at Renig. [22:15] <*Ghen*> "I wouldn't trust him, Vanal, but you already know that." [22:15] <*Ghen*> "Are you going to let him keep his command?" [22:15] "I've known that since we first met him." [22:16] "despite his insubordination...yes, for now. But *only* the scale, for now." [22:17] "He wants me to go out to the orichalcum veins...to 'check them out'." [22:18] <*Ghen*> coughs, and looks away from Renig. "The place is swarming with immaculates. You'd get caught instantly." [22:19] "Yeah, I know." [22:19] "FUCK I wish Jyn was here...he could do some digging for me." [22:20] <*Ghen*> "You're not honestly considering going down there...." [22:20] "Gehn, don't listen to what Tabius says. I'm not THAT dumb." [22:21] * *Ghen* laughs wholeheartedly. [22:21] "Anyways, there's one other topic I've got to address." [22:21] "Mainly...you remember Cicada, don't you ?" [22:22] <*Ghen*> "Sure, I remember her." [22:22] "We found her. In the sewers. Minus an arm and a leg. Raped. By our men." [22:22] "I want to know who did it." [22:23] <*Ghen*> rubs his chin. "I can't think of anyone. Sure it was really rape?" [22:24] "according to the little weasel who was down there..she's been...a lady of the night around here for a bit." [22:25] "Talk to the docs in the morning, I had Goldenrod bring her to the infirmary...but yes, I'm damn sure it was rape." [22:25] "And I will not tolerate any behavior like that in ANY unit I command, no matter the size. ESPECIALLY when my friends suffer for it." [22:25] * *Ghen* Ghen nods quickly [22:26] <*Ghen*> "I'll get right on it." [22:26] "Thanks." [22:27] * *Ghen* clasps Vanals' arm. "Don't do anything stupid." [22:28] gotta pause for a second, sister needs to use the computer, so i'm swapping [22:28] "I won't." [22:28] Ghen nods and walks off to investigate. [22:30] * Disconnected [22:28] * GoldenH is now known as Storyteller [22:28] anyhow vanal, let Tala and TAbius talk now. [22:29] no prob [22:30] if they want to [22:30] * Tabius looks at Tala sadly. [22:30] "Do you think the Dragons will smile kindly on her?" [22:31] "I think that she will be well." [22:44] "Another Anathema that needs to be encased and dropped into the bottom [22:44] "What did she say?" [22:45] (um, is there any OTHEr kind of rape ?) [22:45] "In her pregnant condition and his augemented strength and the [22:46] "In her pregnant condition and his augemented strength and the [22:46] "I do not understand, why would he do such a thing?" [22:46] "He exalted as a Sidreal, I guess like the Solar they go beserk at the beginning being more powerful I guess than they normaly are a bit later." [22:46] "In her pregnant condition and his augemented strength and the following insanity, perhaps from the island, he did it." [22:46] "Or at least She things that he did it." [22:46] thanks [22:47] well if you two are done i'll go back to Vanal. [22:48] (*Go ahead*) [22:48] unless either of you want to do something... [22:48] * Tabius goes in to be there for Cicada when she wakes up so she feels secure and safe. [22:49] Anyhow, Renig walks around, eventually innocently arriving next to Vanal. He lifts a drink to his mouth, and says, "So, where do we go from here?" [22:50] * Vanal looks at Renig and tries his hand at a little fib "When I figure that out, you'll know." [22:51] * Cicada awakes after a few hours. [22:51] "Where..?" [22:52] Renig shrugs. "I am almost ready to carry through, with or without you. So I'd appreciate a decision soon, m'lord." [22:52] * Tabius {Barracks next to the Infirmery} is slumped over next to Cicada's bed asleep. [22:52] "Don't forget who is the general here, Scalemaster Peleps." [22:53] * Cicada touches Tabius' face tenderly, as if to ascertain that it is indeed him and not somebody else. [22:54] "But sir, we don't have a lot of time. They know I'm here, questions will be brought up." [22:56] "I have some influence...I can delay those questions for a while." [22:56] Renig nods, satisfied. [22:56] "I'll leave you to the party then." [22:56] he smiles, and offers his hand. [22:56] "It's good to see you again." [22:57] * Vanal looks at him for a moment...and shakes it "Likewise" ....knowing that neithe rof them mean it in the slightest [22:58] Renig smiles, apparently having boosted his bullshitting skills since you last met him, because you can't detect a thing. And leaves you to your party... [22:59] Anyhow, Cicada wakes up back in the infirmary, still feeling numb all over from the drugs used to knock her out. [22:59] * Vanal sighs...reaches out and takes a dram of some unidentifiable hard liquor off a tray, downing it in one shot [23:00] * Tabius seems to sign in his sleep at the touch of Cicada's hand, but doesn't wake yet. [23:01] * Vanal smiles as he recognizes Jauna and begins cahtting with her, casually [23:02] * Cicada lets her hand rest on Tabius' cheek for a while, then suddenly begins crying again. [23:03] * Tabius slowly wakes up to the sound of sobbing and takes Cicada's hand in his own and smiles over at her. [23:05] "I'm sorry, Tabius... By the Dragons... I'm so sorry..." [23:06] "Please leave me. Don't sully yourself by staying with me." [23:06] * Tabius opens his mouth to say something, but nothing comes out and he closes it and just squezes Cicada's hand. [23:07] "I'm unclean. Defiled. Shamed. Ugly. Please don't look at me again... I beg you." [23:07] * Vanal eventually breaks off to check on his PC friends [23:07] "There are some things that cross all bounds and circumstances Cicada." [23:08] Vanal arrives, seeing Tala outside and hearing Tabius and Cicada talking quietly inside. [23:09] * Vanal looks at Tala "How's she doing ?" [23:10] "What do you mean..?" [23:10] "She is healing." [23:10] "I love you Cicada, that will never chance, regardless of what condition you are in, what has happened, or where you are." [23:11] * Cicada blinks at Tabius. [23:11] "Eevn though I... Did all that?" [23:11] "That's good. I've got my second-in-command working on tracking down the men that took advantage of her when she arrived." [23:12] * Tabius smiles, "Yes, even through all of that." [23:13] "But..." [23:13] * Cicada pulls herslef close to Tabius, trying to close the embrace. [23:14] "I don't understand." [23:14] * Tabius draws the chair closer to the bed and is embraced. [23:14] "I don't much myself, I just know how I feel." [23:14] * Tala looks at Vanal "What are you talking about?" [23:15] "You didn't know ?" [23:15] "No, Tabius did not mention it." [23:15] "Some legionnaires decided to have their way with her when she showed up." [23:17] "Tabius.. I still feel so ugly... There is the taint of ... of all that in me..." [23:17] * Tala frowns. "I hope you plan to deal with them accordingly." [23:17] "Can you help me feel clean again? Cleanse me with you fire..? Like you always have when I needed it..?" [23:18] * Tabius {inside} "You need that kind of healing, sure." [23:18] "From what Tabius said it was Sanyet who inflicted those... injuries on her." [23:19] * Tabius stands up with his anima already starting to flare as he whips essence around himself manuevering the forces of nature and creation to his whim as his hands turn into burning flames. [23:19] "The initial ones, yes." [23:19] * Cicada takes Tabius' hand, stopping him. [23:19] "Not that flame..." [23:19] "Or can you no longer bear to touch me...?" [23:19] "Erh......." [23:20] * Cicada shudders and looks down. [23:20] "I was told you needed to heal for a time before you did anything strenious." [23:20] "Believe me, when the time comes I will be VERY happy to fill you with that kind of fire." [23:21] "Your men would do such things to a crippled woman?" (you said she was missing her arm and leg again, right?) [23:21] [yeap] [23:22] "No, please.. Cleanse me... don't let me remember... all that." [23:22] (yup) [23:23] "It seems that some would. They will be punished." [23:23] * Tabius smiles at Cicada, raises a finger, and does a walk take a lookt to see if its secure motion and then does so [23:23] * Tabius does not want to be interupted. [23:25] * Cicada recieves Tabius in the bed - somewhat clumsily due to pain and handicap. "It hurts... but this time it will be good pain to wash away everything else." [23:26] "At last there is nothing between us... Tabius, are you mine? .. Mine alone?" [23:26] "I am Sable Cicada's, yes." [23:27] * Tabius does his best to not hurt anything anymore than absolutely necessary to give Cicada the cleansing she so very much needs." [23:28] * Tabius and has some fun with all the new positions one can get in with a partner with only 1 leg. [23:29] anyhow ,that finishes a few hours later, and everyone is gathered up at the top of the barracks. Cicada seems much improved, almost healthy again, happy to be with her friends. [23:30] (okay Tabs....TMFI) [23:31] * Vanal sips his drink and sighs [23:31] "Gape in awe, ladies and gentleman...I have no fucking clue what to do." [23:34] "What do you mean?" [23:34] "Renig." [23:34] "He's plotting something. I KNOW he is, but I don't know WHAT." [23:36] "Then lets interigate him a bit, I don't have this jewel on my head for no good reason you know. [23:36] * Vanal smirks "Not a bad idea." [23:36] "Oh and by the way, you two...two words...Sound. Proofing." [23:36] "I thought you had planned to kill him when u met him again." [23:37] "It was impromptu, but thanks for the compliment." [23:37] "I'm a general now. Politics get all funny and in the way." [23:37] * Vanal pulls out another cigarette and lights it....he's been chain-smoking since he first MET renig...he literally reeks of tobacco by now [23:39] * Cicada sighs. [23:40] "I mean, jsut...FUCK !" [23:41] * Vanal slams his head into the railing, HARD [23:41] * Tabius one gets cured, the other goes insane.........sigh. [23:41] "I can't even OFF him anymore, he's back in public knowledge ! And I want to know what the Hell he's got planned." [23:41] (not nuts, just VERY irritated) [23:42] * Tala (~Werlynn@ool-182dcd08.dyn.optonline.net) Quit (Quit: ) [23:42] "NEVER stick around a Peleps, you hear me ? NEVER." [23:42] "Then let me do your dirty work general." [23:43] "I still hold rank as a Special Forces Fanglord with Cathek do I knot?" [23:44] * Vanal smirks "You do." [23:45] "Which means I work outside the normal rank and file on special missions." [23:45] * Vanal nods [23:45] "I think by now I've got the authority to authorize such a mission." [23:45] "So if I go with Renig on his little errend then nobody can pretty much question my motives. [23:46] "If I use my own created beasts of the eyeless face, there will be no witness's other than myself either. [23:46] * Vanal nods [23:47] "Good, consider it authorized. This is unoffical of course, and for the love of Sextes, be careful." [23:48] "Now what does Renig want of you again?" [23:49] "Quite simply, to chekc out the orichalcum vein with him. He SAYS it's for house Cathak...but he's Peleps. Why would a Peleps want to help Cathak ?" [23:50] "He claims he's schemeing to get those veins for Cathak...right out form the order's nose...there's inconsitency number two." [23:51] "It sounds like to me that he is under Solar control or is unwittingly falling into their trap." [23:51] "Or he's trying to frame me. don't forget, he hate each other;s guts." [23:51] (Peleps and Cathak are allied right now.) [23:51] "ie he gets the stuff, ships it off, but it gets raided and the Solar end up with it." [23:51] (Yah, but why not seize it for PELEPS, then ?) [23:52] (yes they are.. it is all fun and games, isn't it..) [23:52] "That sounds plausible." [23:52] "Either way why would we want it?" [23:52] (Because you have the forces to properly pull it off and he doesn't.) [23:52] (Because if it goes wrong, he can blame you.) [23:52] (and there we go....I am no one's fall-guy.) [23:52] (Also, his house still benefits. They just don't take the fall.) [23:56] * Cicada looks distant, not really participating. [23:56] just happy to be back with your friends after so long? [23:57] "The questions still remains why would we want that stuff?" [23:58] * Cicada is certainly clinging to Tabius' arm like a shipwrecked sailor to a piece of driftwood. [23:58] "Black market. Very lucrative." [23:58] "*I* don't want it. It'd destablize an already tense situation." [23:59] "Who would by it Vanal, there is only one purpose such stuff would be really used for." [23:59] * L_Jynaru (Fiat@dialup-209.246.184.176.Dial1.Atlanta1.Level3.net) has joined #pvpexaltedrp [23:59] wb [00:00] "I know, I know." [00:00] "It might be useful in the construction of some high level artifacts, but very few are capable of such things/ [00:00] "And those that are, are few and far between as being on our side. [00:01] "I know. Look, this whole thing stinks." [00:01] "The sooner we get to the bottom of this, the better." [00:01] "We do need some way for you to signal me if things go wrong, though. I can a couple of scale there VERY quickly. Any ideas ?" [00:02] "........" [00:03] "What is it, Cic ?" [00:03] "Well, kind of." [00:03] "... I wonder where Sanyet went...? Is he alright? Eating well?" [00:04] * Cicada blinks and stops. [00:04] * Tabius seems to turn even whiter than normal and his jaw opens a bit and he looks confused. [00:04] * Vanal rubs his temples [00:04] "I mean, what do I care!" [00:04] "Riiiiiiight. Um...your idea ?" [00:04] * Vanal rubs his temples some more [00:05] "I don't know... I don't even seem to know what I can do myself anymore..." [00:05] "Well I could just launch a flare. [00:06] "Nothing else ? no funky telepathic screams or shouts or anything ?" [00:07] "Well moving and mystic stuff is my specialty, communications never was." [00:07] "But I think I could do something interesting with my minions once I get them recreated." [00:07] "Right. Well...it'll have to do." [00:07] They can mime if not actually talk. I could create them with the ability to write I suppose. [00:08] "that way you could read it, write a reply and I could get the message from him" [00:08] "I would have to leave a few behind anyways." [00:08] "That's perfect." [00:09] "I will need to raid the armory though for some weapons and light armor for the ones that go with me. [00:09] "I tihnk we've got a better selection than previous." [00:10] "The approach is what concerns me, should I just march in with my nose up, or sneak in and just get a good look. [00:10] * Vanal scartches his chin [00:10] "Fuck...this isn't going to work..." [00:10] * L_Jynaru is now known as Jynaru [00:11] (errr...ignore that, stray thought) [00:12] "Okay, fine...i'll arrang ea couple of book-keeping errors with Gehn." [00:12] "I would sneak, if I were you. The place will be crawlign with immaculates. [00:13] "What is the goal of the mission other than take a look for you with Renig?" [00:14] "Insurance." [00:14] "Quite simply, I'm going with him." [00:15] "YOUR job is to make sure anything I may learn doesn't get trapped there if I get caught." [00:15] "and to provide backup in case things get physical." [00:15] "Should my entire force of created beings be with you or just one or two?" [00:15] "Handful of them. Not too many." [00:18] "Good. I have the raw materials already, I just need a day to get them together and trained." [00:18] "Perfect. Give me a heads up, and I'll get thigns ready. I'm bringing Gehn in on this, too. [00:19] "OK" [00:20] "Is there a signal you want me to follow should he or anybody else need to die by Guillotine?" [00:21] "I'll tell you in barbarian." [00:21] "As you wish, how far off do you want me and my forces?" [00:22] "20 feet, give or take." [00:23] "If I do not give a signal to attack, do NOT attack. If I day to bug out, you bug out, okay ?" [00:23] "OK, I can keep them invis for an hour at a time by the way, its not indefinit." [00:23] "Hopefully an hour will be enough." [00:23] "Good." [00:26] "Thanks, goldenrod. I owe you." [00:27] "Your welcome general, sir." [00:28] so are you going to go find Renig and tell him you want to go after all? [00:28] I am [00:28] once Tabs has made the proper preps [00:29] (*Has got to make his minions o the eyeless face, outfit them with concealing Legionaire gear and stuff [00:29] okay, let's go [00:29] it's takes a couple nights to do it [00:29] want to buy anything wiht XP or prepare in some way? [00:30] (*other than the combo that was on Tabs sheet, not really....get ISoB up and running for the time period. [00:30] can't think of anything for now [00:31] allright.. essence full expcept for whatever you just casted.. ok! lets go... dooom doom doom ... [00:31] (*The minions will have Stealth of 3......besides maxed military stuff f) [00:31] (*cast in morning ;-), hope we get there at least 2 hours later) [00:31] at least? well it'll start right after dark. [00:32] Renig meets you after dark a few miles out of town at a signpost. The signpost says "North: To Bright Oblesk" and West: To the Imperial City" and "East: To Malkor's Guard" [00:32] (*ah, then cast after dark then and wait for the anima to die down to nothing) [00:32] he is wearing a black cloak that disguises his figures, daiklaive at his side, and a shady person is nearby looking sneaky. [00:33] * Vanal is in black, too...no sens ein being OVERT [00:33] also there is a shrubbery. [00:33] many shrubberies. [00:33] "Well ?" [00:33] (*Vanal where do you want me, Invis now or when or just follow, I can see in the dark.*) [00:34] (This demonstrates the value of not being seen.) [00:34] (hide...if you can't turn on the invis) [00:35] "It's clear, we can go whenever you're ready. It'll take a few hours to get to the quarry, of course, but i've arranged for that." [00:35] * Tabius hides far enough away that nobody without night vision could see them, but close enough that he with his night vision can see them. [00:35] "Oh ?" [00:37] Renig pulls out a brillinatly sparkling gemstone, you can see that it was made out of pure pieces of the five magic jades, with mystic runes carved into it with Orichalcum. [00:38] "Right..." [00:38] "Well, let's get this over with." [00:38] Renig holds the gemstone in front of him and activates it, the entire road seems to flicker for a moment, and then it is only a shadow and a blur of what was. [00:40] He then takes your arm and walks with you. You seem to move entire yards with each footstep. [00:40] * Tabius is going to have to run his ass off and does so. [00:40] * Vanal blinks [00:41] "We can use charms here, unless you want to bring those goons along." [00:42] "I beg your pardon ?" [00:42] [you are bringing a couple of those minions aren't you?] [00:43] (*Yes the plan called for Vanal to take 4 of them and I would take 4 of them.*) [00:43] Oh...yeah [00:44] "Those four are with me." [00:45] "Well it'll take a little longer than but i'm sure they can keep up. Nice, simple jog..." his eyes burn with motes of fire for a moment as he activates a charm, and then points the stone behind him. "As long as they keep up, they'll stay in the area of effect." [00:46] * Vanal nods and looks at the minions...and tabs...'Follow me. [00:47] * Tabius is already running ahead and is going to have a bitch of a time keeping up with them. [00:48] tabius you can either try to keep up, or you can try to sneak into the area of effect and hope they don't notice you. [00:48] * Tabius sneaks into the area of effect after casting Mirror of Bending light and making his boys invis to. [00:49] (*tabs could keep up, the minions could not.*) [00:49] allright. [00:49] roll your invis roll. [00:49] Dice Script Active [00:49] !ex 16 [00:49] Tabius (16) 8, 2, 6, 9, 8, 8, 8, 9, 4, 1, 10, 7, 6, 3, 5, 7, Successes : 10 [00:50] * Tabius will keep mental count for his minions during the jog so that all 9 of them can go in step and nobody will notice that there are 5 more feet hitting the fround than the 4 that are visible [00:50] (*ground not fround :-( *) [00:50] Storyteller (8) 6, 8, 2, 5, 3, 2, 9, 5, Successes : 2 [00:50] !ex 8 [00:51] You are not detected by the eeeevil renig [00:51] (*And there was much rejoicing*) [00:52] it seems like only minutes before you arrive at the riverbank, but instead of leading you straight into the quarry, he brings you around, by the riverbank. Here, you see there are metal rods already stuck into the rocks, so that you can climb the sheer cliff face near the rivers edge. [00:53] "Going around, are we ?" [00:54] "Yes, actually it's the weak point I found in their defenses.. you see, while the eastern part of the quarry is well guarded, they still have to allow the quarry to be mined for rock." [00:55] "So I thought to myself, when the rockslide happened, maybe it wasn't all rock." [00:55] "Maybe, some of the orichalcum went with it." [00:56] "The vein itself is massive, and is surrounded by sorcerous wards that would instantly detect even the strongest sorceries, so I couldn't go for that anyhow.." [00:56] "I see. And what exactly do you want me to do here ?" [00:56] "Tonight I just want to show you what I found. See if you can figure out how to get through it." [00:56] [00:58] "Okay, show away." [00:58] Renig walks over to the wall and grabs on one of the pinions, there are rows upon rows of them, so you can chose your own pace. His is wide, and he skips many of them as he works his way along the wall, his servant following along. He waves for you to follow, and then his attention is again focused on the rocky wall [00:59] * Vanal climbs up as quickly as he can, keeping an eye on Renig [01:00] * Tabius has his 4 minions keep close and takes a slightly casual pace up the rock being a bit paranoid for a trap. [01:00] the pinions are actually all horizontal, less vertical. [01:01] roll dex + athletics, you two, and one generic roll for your minons, Tabius. [01:01] !ex 11 (self) [01:01] Tabius (11) 1, 6, 2, 8, 6, 8, 10, 1, 10, 1, 6, Successes : 6 [01:01] Tabius (11), 6, 2, 1, 9, 10, 10, 7, 7, 6, 4, 5, Successes : 7 [01:01] Dice Script Deactivated [01:01] sorry [01:01] !ex 6 (minions) [01:01] Tabius (6) 5, 1, 2, 4, 4, 6, Successes : 0 , Botch [01:02] (*Um, something freaky happened there. [01:02] !ex 4 [01:02] Vanal (4) 2, 9, 7, 8, Successes : 3 [01:02] er!ex 5 [01:02] roll one more for the minions, tabius [01:02] !ex 6 [01:02] Tabius (6) 7, 9, 6, 9, 9, 9, Successes : 5 [01:02] !ex 5 [01:02] Vanal (5) 6, 9, 2, 3, 4, Successes : 1 [01:02] (4 sux, total) [01:03] Just as Vanal passes by one section of the rocks, the minions follow behind quickly, leaving almost no space between them. As one of them grabs a pinion, it comes out of the rock face, and falls into the water with a loud splash... [01:05] "Sorry...damn pinion slipped !" [01:06] a few more pinions slip... and there is only one of tabius' group that he sent with you left to follow. [01:06] * Vanal mutters 'damn' [01:06] "Damnit!" Renig yells back "I'll have those workmen flayed alive!" [01:07] (*Why does the script do the squares and stuff in the middle wit hthe extra 15? (7, 9, 6, 9, 9, 9)*) [01:08] [because it changes colors and you are not seeing the colors] [01:09] (*Hmmmmrrrr. confusing as all get out*) [01:09] Tabius and his other invisible minions have no problems following along [01:14] Eventually you come to a stone ledge chipped into the wall. You wonder how long it's been like this, but it looks recent to you. He steps off and waves for you to walk along (but not before putting his whole wait on the pin and leaning off of it) [01:14] and then continues on. You can see the rim of the quarry-bowl in the distance, but the ledge stops long before that. [01:15] * Vanal hops up [01:15] * Tabius follows walking in exactly the same foot placements as those previous to him and ordering his minions to the same thing. [01:16] "So, how much further ?" [01:17] "Not far, just up ahead." [01:18] * Vanal 's eyes dart around, he doesn't like this. [01:18] The sheer rock wall could easily collapse around you, as all that is keeping it up are the normal supports to prevent mass rockslids,, but not anything small.. [01:19] roll per + awe vanal, tabius [01:19] !ex 11 [01:19] Tabius (11) 5, 10, 8, 7, 9, 10, 5, 6, 10, 9, 8, Successes : 11 [01:19] !ex 7 [01:19] Vanal (7) 8, 2, 10, 10, 9, 1, 1, Successes : 6 [01:22] There is something underneath the water not far from the ledge... you can see the eddies swirling around the edges of the massive boulder, and Tabius can even see it for what it is.. a massive boulder of orichalcum. [01:22] Renig stops up ahead and points towards it, yelling over the raging surf. [01:23] * Vanal blinks [01:23] "Sweet Mela..." [01:23] * Tabius stiffles a by the Dragons comment. [01:23] it's gotta be at least 3 yards across, gaging by the depth of the water and how it splashes over the top [01:24] * Tabius tries to estimate its weight. [01:24] a ton/ [01:24] ? [01:25] * Tabius grins and invisible smile of smugness. [01:26] "Okay, I'm impressed." [01:26] "The problem, of course, is getting it out of here." Renig smiles broadly. [01:27] "Yeah..." [01:28] "Any ideas?" [01:30] * Tabius the minion next to Vanal makes a miming motion like a person realing in a modern fishing real but it reminds you of a wrinch [01:32] "The problem, of course, is getting it out of here." Renig smiles broadly. [01:33] (*Winch*) [01:36] * Vanal (~ltermac@HSE-QuebecCity-ppp3498921.sympatico.ca) Quit (Quit: Imagine there were two of you. Which one would win ?) [01:36] * Tabius (~web-Guest@ip68-108-128-145.lv.lv.cox.net) Quit (Quit: Leaving) Session Close: Sun Jun 22 01:37:59 2003
