[21:25] * DarthTom is now known as Vanal
[21:26] [Storyteller] ok .... as the anima fades from the solar's face, you hear a shout from the north pass... jynaru fires a couple arrows, causing a landslide in the pass and cutting them off, forcing them to go back to the last branch and take the long way around.... the solar was pushed behind a rock, and now is hiding there whiel the rest of you stand around deciding what to do, except for tabius, who will
[21:26] [Storyteller] be locked inside the mountain for three days
[21:27] [Vanal] "Well...the good news is...with luck, she'll stop glowing by the time we see them next."
[21:28] [Storyteller] maybe, but the rock she's hiding behind looks more like chalk than granite.
[21:28] * Vanal blinks
[21:29] [Vanal] "Sextes fucking Jylis..."
[21:29] [Vanal] "That rock, we destroy."
[21:29] [Vanal] "How long until you stop glowing ?"
[21:29] [Storyteller] "A few minutes..."
[21:29] [Vanal] "Okay, good. When you stop, I smash the rock."
[21:30] [Storyteller] "...ok"
[21:30] [Vanal] "I can't beleieve I'm doing this."
[21:30] * Vanal rummages around for a cigarette
[21:30] [Storyteller] vanal.. you only have big cigareetes left
[21:31] [Storyteller] you forget where you bought them... it seemed like a good deal at the time
[21:31] * Vanal scowls
[21:31] * Vanal smells them...they Jynaru specials ?"
[21:32] [Storyteller] no.. they're normal tobacco cigarettes. just really big.
[21:32] * Vanal scowls
[21:32] [Vanal] "What was I thinking ?"
[21:32] * Vanal lights one up
[21:32] [Storyteller] it tastes the same...
[21:33] [Storyteller] *ominous thunder*
[21:34] [Storyteller] Tabius, you're inside
[21:34] * Vanal arches an eyebrow
[21:34] [Storyteller] Miren is holding a satchel to herself... you can hardly tell that you've been locked inside for all eternity.
[21:35] * Tala looks to the north
[21:35] [Storyteller] the north pass has been blocked off
[21:35] [Storyteller] nobody can come from that direction unless they are willing to climb a landslide
[21:35] * Tabius is about the work of making the big mountain go boom.
[21:35] [Storyteller] they might decide to climb the mountain instad, but no mortal could do that in less than three days
[21:36] [Tala] [who was coming?]
[21:36] [Storyteller] you don't know
[21:37] [Storyteller] some large party of troops or something
[21:37] [Storyteller] maybe a scale or two
[21:38] [Storyteller] time passes...
[21:38] [Storyteller] it's almost noon
[21:38] [Storyteller] there's an ominous crackle of lightning and thunder.... the anima long has since faded and Vanal smashed the rock into pieces
[21:39] [Storyteller] it may have looked like chalk, but it wasn't any softer for it
[21:39] * Cicada having calmed herself that the girl is not going to be killed, instead spends her time fretting over Tabius being all alone. All alone with that *thing*.
[21:39] [Vanal] "Cic...don't worry."
[21:39] [Vanal] "If she tries anyhtign, Ari will beat the living crap out of her."
[21:40] [Storyteller] Jynaru is going to go check on the army
[21:40] [Storyteller] he doesn't know why anyone is using these roads
[21:40] * Cicada does not appear any less irritable or worried. Even Sanyet has trouble making her rest.
[21:41] * Tala sits down on the ground
[21:41] [Storyteller] the ground is covered with snow... 6 hours pass....
[21:42] * Vanal pulls his coat around him
[21:42] * Vanal stubs out yet another cigarette
[21:42] * *Jynaru*  comes leaping back, holding one arm in front of him to block the sun from his eyes.. he lands in the snow, skidding to a stop
[21:43] * *Kylara*  looks up from the dinner she is cooking with Sanyet
[21:44] * Cicada looks up nervously. Rubbing her own arms for warmth, first time ever she has appeared cold.
[21:45] [Vanal] "'Sup, bow-boy ?"
[21:45] * *Jynaru*  grumbles something about troops being in the mountains in winter and pulls off the scarf that was covering his neck and mouth... he has a small, bleeding line on one cheek
[21:46] [Vanal] "One of them grazed you, eh ?"
[21:46] * Vanal chuckles
[21:46] * Cicada hurries over to fuzz at the wound, cleaning and treating it.
[21:46] [Storyteller] it's really just a scratch... jynaru seems really annoyed by it
[21:47] * Tala gives Jynaru a quizical look and makes an "out with it" gesture
[21:47] [Cicada] "An expert archer among the troops?"
[21:47] [Cicada] "A *female* expert archer?"
[21:47] [*Jynaru*]  "More... a brotherhood, I think.. how did you know?"
[21:47] [Vanal] "Brotherhood ? Aw man.
[21:48] * Vanal scowls
[21:48] * Vanal shevles the 'got beat by a girl remark....partially because of Shak's sudden mental unloading at him for that remark.'
[21:48] [Vanal] "Alright already, I get the point, okay ?!"
[21:48] [Storyteller] "Odd thing... they were carrying the old flag... Got anything to eat?"
[21:49] [Vanal] "Old flag ?"
[21:49] * Vanal tosses Jyn a ration-bar
[21:49] [Storyteller] "Wyld Hunt.. before I was born."
[21:49] [Cicada] "Well, the arrow wound is precise, meant to hurt, not kill. It came frow a low height, but flew very evenly as if fired by an archer who relied less on strength, than expertise."
[21:49] [Cicada] "Want to know more?"
[21:49] [Vanal] "aw geez."
[21:50] [Vanal] "A bunch of old experienced coots out for one last joy ride ?"
[21:50] [Vanal] "Just what we need."
[21:50] * *Jyn*  grabs the bar with a thankful grunt but eyes the beef stew with a hungry eye. He seems to not want to know any more about his opponent.
[21:50] [*Jynaru*]  "I don't think they're after us... they already had a prisoner."
[21:50] [Vanal] "Oh ?"
[21:50] [*Jynaru*]  "I think he's a solar."
[21:51] [Vanal] "Care to describe him ?"
[21:51] * Tala smiles
[21:52] [Storyteller] Jynaru describes a man about 6'4, white skin, brown hair, garbed in gold shirt/white pants and a orichalcum nosering... probably no older than 21 but with an anathema who can tell?
[21:52] * Retrieving #pvpexaltedrp info...
[21:52] * Waiting 9 seconds for previous request
[21:52] [Cicada] "Uhh.. It might be tricky... But couldn't you use their help against mas.. against you know who?"
[21:53] * *Princess*  looks down at the ground
[21:53] * Vanal scowls
[21:53] [Vanal] "Well, no one I know..."
[21:53] [Vanal] "Out with it, blondie."
[21:54] [*Princess*]  "I don't know him.... but... the empress is gone.. isn't she?"
[21:54] * Tala scowls
[21:54] [*Jynaru*]  [to cicada] "You think it'd be better to ask now than later? After I collapsed the pass?'
[21:55] [Vanal] "As far as I know, anyways."
[21:55] [Cicada] "And got shot at? Probably after shooting first? No. Just a suggestion, though."
[21:55] [*Jynaru*]  "hmm.." it doesn't look like your guess is right but he's not talking
[21:56] * *Jynaru*  quickly starts eating a bowl of the beef stew when Kylara hands it to him.. he's hungry.. like a tiger!
[21:56] [Vanal] "Want me to chat with them ? Shootign a general will get them into all sort sof trouble."
[21:57] [*Jynaru*]  "Can't I just say I was you?" [/hungry]
[21:57] * Tala shakes her head
[21:58] [Vanal] "Jyn...since when do I carry a bow, first off..."
[21:58] * Tala points at the anathema, then shakes her head again.
[21:58] [Vanal] "Secondly, I'd like to think I've got better fashion sense then you."
[21:58] [*Jynaru*]  (!)
[21:58] * *Jynaru*  is forgunately very hungry
[21:58] [*Jynaru*]  "Hm maybe you should talk with them."
[21:59] [Vanal] "Right."
[21:59] * *Jynaru*  looks at Tala
[21:59] [Vanal] "what are you doing, Tala ?"

[22:02] [Storyteller] she is probably not talking for some rason
[22:03] [Tala] actually, since before the boat ride
[22:03] [Storyteller] ah
[22:03] * Vanal blinks
[22:03] [Vanal] "Tala...you're hiding something."
[22:03] [Cicada] "Some... sort of penance?"
[22:05] * *Jynaru*  and the two cooks watch, eating with their forks
[22:05] * Cicada is standing next to Sanyet, seeking warmth under his cloak.
[22:06] * *Sanyet*  is sitting down so he gives you the warmth you so crave, and a bowl of beef stew
[22:06] [Vanal] "Tala, you're awfully bloody quiet."
[22:07] * Joins: Prodigal_Victrix (Fiat@dialup-171.75.128.209.Dial1.Atlanta1.Level3.net)

[22:09] [Cicada] "... never ever doing *anything* like this ever again..." (mutter, grumble)
[22:09] * *Sanyet*  looks guilty
[22:09] * *Kylara*  offers Tala a bowl of rice
[22:10] * Tala accepts it, giving a nod of thanks
[22:10] [Storyteller] time passes... you eat in silence.
[22:11] [Storyteller] even the princess is so quiet, you can't hear the food munching.
[22:11] [Storyteller] a howling wind comes over the empty plain where the mountain once stood
[22:11] [Storyteller] and then the sun sets.....
[22:12] [Storyteller] even with the fire, it is very cold.
[22:12] * Quits: Jynaru (Fiat@dialup-171.75.128.209.Dial1.Atlanta1.Level3.net) (Ping timeout)
[22:13] [Storyteller] cold... and sleepy!

[22:14] [Storyteller] excellent.. no frostbite
[22:14] [Storyteller] still, everything is covered with a light dusting of snow when you wake up. even your horses
[22:15] [Vanal] "Goddamn it, I hate snow."
[22:15] [*Shakel*]  *Sometimes I think you hate everything but me!*
[22:16] [Vanal] "That's not true. I like cigarettes."
[22:16] * Tala brushes a crusting of ice from her body, where moisture which formed around her while she slept had frozen
[22:17] [*Shakel*]  *Even those cigarettes?*
[22:17] [Vanal] "What do you mean ?"
[22:18] * Joins: Jynaru (Fiat@dsc03-ati-ga-204-30-128-95.rasserver.net)
[22:18] [Storyteller] Shakel glows... the big one jutting out of your pocket lights up
[22:18] [Storyteller] wb
[22:18] * Vanal picks up the smoke and examines it closer
[22:18] [Vanal] "It's a cigarette. It's not a BAD smoke...."
[22:19] [Vanal] "Not my first choice, but a fag's a fag."

[22:22] * Vanal freezes his butt off
[22:22] [Vanal] "You know, *shelter* might be a good idea."
[22:22] * Cicada is the one who has to keep Sanyet warm this time.
[22:22] [Storyteller] you are spend your time drinking hot water and waiting for time to pass.... the princess explains that the other party is probably bringing a solar to the Empress to consume his soul or something. she wonders what will happen to him if she isn't there to recieve him?
[22:23] [Cicada] "What about that group? Think they consider us enemies and are moving around to try and find us?"
[22:23] [Tala] !ex 7
[22:23] [Storyteller] Tala (7), 7, 4, 5, 2, 1, 7, 7, Successes : 3
[22:23] [Vanal] "I dunno, hopefully a quick, mericful death. "
[22:23] [Storyteller] Tala... there is a slight glint in the east at the top of the mountain ridge... like the sun reflecting off a mirror... only for a moment, then it's gone.
[22:25] * Tala stares off to the east at a mountain ridge
[22:25] * Tala studies it
[22:25] [Storyteller] it's gone, you don't see it again

[22:29] [Vanal] "It's a mountain."
[22:29] [Vanal] !ex 7
[22:29] [Storyteller] Vanal (7), 3, 9, 1, 10, 6, 2, 7, Successes : 4
[22:29] [Storyteller] you don't see anything
[22:29] [Vanal] "Huh."
[22:29] [Vanal] "It's just a mountain."
[22:30] * Tala continues to study the ridge for anything else unusual
[22:31] [Storyteller] night falls.....

[22:33] * Storyteller pokes Tala
[22:33] [Tala] !ex 7

[22:33] [Jynaru] (It is never a good thing when perawe rolls so closely follow nigthtfall)
[22:33] [Storyteller] hm.. tala watches the ridge for a while but sees nothing...
[22:34] [Storyteller] somebody makes the diff 3 roll to keep the fire going.. morning comes
[22:34] [Storyteller] WOOOOSH! SMACK!
[22:34] * Vanal jolts up
[22:35] * Jynaru rolls over, unhappy at having his pleasant dreams disturbed.
[22:35] [Storyteller] there's an arrow in your firewood!
[22:35] [Storyteller] it has a note attached....
[22:36] * Tala picks up the note
[22:36] [Vanal] "Lemme guess."
[22:36] [Storyteller] the note is in high realm.. it reads
[22:36] [Vanal] "Give us the anathema, or you'll all dead."
[22:38] [Tala] .......
[22:39] [Vanal] (today, the part of tala will be played by Rei Ayanami)
[22:39] [Storyteller] "CITIZENS OF THE REALM, we have returned after a long journey, and had been joyful at sharing a warm meal and sharing tales of honor and glory, but instead you seek to delay us and hinder our journey. Although our quest is in haste, we seek to discuss the terms by whcih your House shall pay tribute to ours for this injustice. Please meet us at the south pass in 3 hours, or we shall take our
[22:39] [Storyteller] own payment. Please do not delay. Signed, Peleps Ursela, Sorceress of the Heptagram
[22:39] [Tabius] (*LMAO*)
[22:39] * Vanal reads the note
[22:39] [Jynaru] (twitch DON'T SAY THAT! And... they want PAY?!)
[22:39] * Vanal re-reads it
[22:40] [Vanal] "Is this some kind of *joke* ?"
[22:40] * Jynaru snores once and sits up, brushing his hair back. "Gunh?"
[22:40] * Tala sighs and shakes her head
[22:42] [Vanal] "Arrogant blighters, aren't they ?"
[22:42] * Jynaru fumbles, grabs a flask, and tips it up, sighing into the bottle as he finds it empty. "What's the problem now?"
[22:43] [Storyteller] roll int + lore!
[22:43] * Vanal tosses Jyn the note
[22:43] [Vanal] !ex 6
[22:43] [Storyteller] Vanal (6), 4, 8, 7, 7, 6, 2, Successes : 3
[22:43] [Storyteller] you know that name, Vanal...
[22:44] * Vanal does ?
[22:44] * Jynaru reads the note, frowning. "Might as well meet them and explain the situation."
[22:44] [Storyteller] yes.... she's a legend.. kinda. more like a ghost story... "Don't go wandering in the wild, young Cathak Vanal, or you'll end up like Peleps Ursela and nobody will ever see you again!"
[22:45] [Vanal] "Oh joy."
[22:46] [Jynaru] "Although, if they're looking for a warm meal, they should probably look elsewhere."
[22:46] [Storyteller] 200 years ago 15 Blooded went into the North to chase down a rouge solar exalt with the body of a full legion for the glory of the Realm and the hand of the Empress... none of them were ever seen again.
[22:46] [Jynaru] "Got any idea where it *shakes the arrow* came from? Might send a return message."
[22:46] [Vanal] "We seem to have found an expedition missing for the past 200 years."
[22:46] [Jynaru] "No wonder they're hungry... Hopefully not ghosts. I HATE ghosts."
[22:47] [Vanal] "I was going to say that...but Shak would just bawl me out again."
[22:47] [Vanal] "Anyways, shall we ?"
[22:47] * Jynaru raises a finger, sliding out of the makeshift sleeping bag and dragging on the normal accoutrements of ass-kicking.
[22:48] [Vanal] "Hey-hey..."
[22:48] [Vanal] "They're our people here."
[22:48] [Jynaru] "If the note isn't lying. If they haven't gone crazy."
[22:48] [Vanal] "We start *nothing*"
[22:49] [Vanal] "We can finish it, but no starting, copy ?"
[22:49] [Jynaru] "Hadn't planned on it, my dear Vanal. Just kicking some heads in if they try to gnaw my face off."
[22:49] [Vanal] "Right."
[22:50] * Jynaru stands, fairly well attired for someone in his position. "I guess women and mortals are holding down the fort?"
[22:50] * Vanal shrugs
[22:50] [Storyteller] Kylara sighs and sits back down. Sanyet has an odd twinkle in his eye...
[22:51] * Cicada is still fast asleep next to him, so that might be explainable.
[22:51] [Vanal] "Look, a few folks stay behind..."
[22:51] * Jynaru points at Sanyet. "Don't even think about it. I am NOT explaning to her why I dragged you down to meet crazy time-travelers."
[22:51] [Vanal] "Tala, since you're tongue-tied anyways...you stay here, ditto for Cic and Sanyet."
[22:51] [Vanal] "Kylara...you can come with, if you want."
[22:52] [Storyteller] allright then.... huh.. what's that on the ridge? looks like an anima flare.... the mountain peak bursts into green, like grass is growing everywhere
[22:52] [Vanal] "And Blondie, stay the hell here, *please*."
[22:52] [Jynaru] "No cavalry arrangement?"
[22:52] [Vanal] "What the fuck ?"
[22:52] [Vanal] "That looks wood-aspected to me."
[22:52] [Jynaru] "Oh, huzzah. More arrows?"
[22:52] [Vanal] "They shoot, they die..."
[22:53] [Vanal] "But let's have a nice little chat."
[22:53] * Vanal shoulders his shield and tromps off towards the flare...
[22:54] * Jynaru grabs a stick and scratches out some rudimentary high realm with ash from the fire, explaining that they're on their way and launches it hiiiigh and over in the general direction of the center of the glow before folowing after.
[22:54] [Storyteller] looks like arrows.... maybe a few dozen. they all burn up before they get close enough to hit the ground though, screeching before they finally disintegrate into dust.... everyone's awake now!
[22:54] [Vanal] "WE GOT THE IDEA, ALRIGHT ?!"
[22:54] [Storyteller] it's too far away to see if it hit, jynaru, but whoever was on the mountain is gone now
[22:55] [Vanal] "This is why I hate Peleps."
[22:55] [Storyteller] and the archer was in the east... the note said the south pass.
[22:55] [Vanal] "Never try and act all civilized...always have to bully us."
[22:55] [Vanal] "Rule one...never bully a Cathak."
[22:56] [Vanal] "anyways...you folks, stay on guard..."
[22:56] [Jynaru] "That's right. You're the best in that particular field of endeavor.
[22:56] [Vanal] "Damn straight."
[22:57] [Jynaru] To the pass with Vanal and Kylara?
[22:57] [Storyteller] Vanal and Kylara go south, you go East?
[22:57] [Vanal] that's cool
[22:58] [Storyteller] allright... i am sick of multiple channels so [Jynaru] and [Vanal]
[22:58] [Jynaru] That should work.
[22:58] * Jynaru 's running down a dream...
[22:58] [Storyteller] [Jynaru] Whaat are you doing?
[22:58] [Jynaru] [Jynaru] I imagine that I look around, figure out how to head east, and bust my hyperspeed groove over there.
[22:58] [Storyteller] [Jynaru] going east will involve climbing a mountain
[22:59] [Storyteller] [Jynaru] it's very tall
[22:59] [Storyteller] [Jynaru] And icy
[22:59] [Storyteller] [Vanal] You and Kylara silently head south to the pass.. you are halfway there when already you can see a small party, though yo can't really see the party so much as the smoke and light from a dozen torches....
[23:00] [Jynaru] [Jynaru] It can't be any colder than Cicada, and I put up with her. What's the diff?
[23:00] [Vanal] "I fuckin' hat emountains.
[23:00] [Storyteller] [Jynaru] Cicada weighs nowhere as much
[23:01] [Jynaru] [Jynaru] I'm not carrying the mountain, I'm climbing it. How hard to get over at hyperspeed groove?
[23:01] [Storyteller] [Jynaru] roll some stupid dex + ath and make some stunty! it looks impossible... for a mortal.
[23:02] [Storyteller] [Vanal] Kylara looks at you. "Vanal.. don't you feel a little odd going up against such a large number of exalts by yourself?"
[23:02] [Vanal] "I don't plan to fight."
[23:02] [Vanal] [Vanal] "
[23:03] [Vanal] [Vanal] "I don't plan to fight."
[23:04] [Storyteller] [Vanal] "Well I hope house Cathak has been doing better than the Tepets, then."
[23:04] [Vanal] [Vanal] "Hey, we still have legions left."
[23:05] * Jynaru buffs his claws, dragging the set of normal ones out, with the nice warm lining and slipping them onto his hands. He appraises the mountain and spits at the base of it, pondering making a rude gesture and springing up the mountain, leaving pale trails of greenery which are consumed instantly by fire and blow their ashes into the wind as he launches his way up and over, feet and hands
[23:05] * Jynaru blurring as he twists his way up the mountain, giving a wink to the dumbfounded mountain goat he passes on the way up as he catapults over the spire, springing out into the air and almost gliding his way towards where the exalt was, buffeted by winds before he folds his arms and spikes down out of the sky.
[23:05] [Jynaru] Is not good stunty, but eh.
[23:06] * Jynaru awaits verdict before the rollination commences.
[23:06] [Storyteller] huh. +2. the goat falls down, you get lunch later.
[23:06] [Storyteller] dex + ath or other roll you like better
[23:07] [Jynaru] !ex 20
[23:07] [Storyteller] Jynaru (20), 9, 5, 8, 1, 1, 1, 8, 10, 6, 10, 4, 7, 4, 10, 7, 3, 6, 9, 7, 1, Successes : 13
[23:08] [Storyteller] jynaru's on top of the woooorld!
[23:08] [Storyteller] there's lots of grass here
[23:08] * Vanal sighs
[23:09] [Storyteller] [Vanal] You come to a stop in front of the ghost legion...
[23:09] [Vanal] [Vanal] "Seriously, why's everyone gotta be so *tetchy*? 
[23:09] [Vanal] (err, ignore that)
[23:09] [Vanal] [Vanal] /me bows respectfully 'We got your message.'
[23:09] [Storyteller] [Vanal] they are quiet... you can't even feel the wind that's making their cloaks wave
[23:09] [Jynaru] Poooowerful wood aspect.
[23:10] [Jynaru] [Jynaru] "Hellooooooo? Person who shot screamer arrows at me?"
[23:10] * Jynaru looks for the arrow he shot.
[23:10] [Storyteller] she's not here. you see it lying in the grass, it's still good.
[23:11] * Vanal [Vanal] bows respectfully 'We got your message.'
[23:11] * Jynaru picks it up, looking for tracks. He smells perfume... hopefully a she.
[23:11] [Storyteller] there are no tracks. whoever was here is good... really good.
[23:12] * Tala sits with the Cicada, the Anathma and the others
[23:12] [Storyteller] [Vanal] A man steps forward.. he is wearing a white cloth wrapped around his head like a mask, but the smell of cinders and cinnimon gives him away as one of your own.. a fire aspect.
[23:12] [Storyteller] [Tala] the anathema is fretting... "It shouldn't take him much longer..."
[23:12] [Vanal] [Vanal] "Greetings."
[23:12] [Jynaru] [Jynaru] "Alright! Listen up, person with screamer arrows! If you can hear me at all, I'd like to speak with you before I have to carry my happy self BACK down the mountian I had to climb!"
[23:13] [Vanal] [Vanal] "Whom do I have the honor of addressing ?"
[23:14] * Tala closes her eyes and begins to meditate. The simmering essence brings her anima to the point where her skin glistens as if damp.
[23:14] * Jynaru walks along the grass, keeping the blood circulating as he watches south, having repocketed the arrow so as not to accidentally shoot someone with it.
[23:15] [Storyteller] [Vanal] one of the exalts looks up at the mountain and smiles to herself about something.... but the fire aspect doesn't seem to notice. "My name is Ragara Deled, leader of the honor guard of Paragon and humble servant to the throne. Who is it that has managed to attain the rank of general at such a young age?"
[23:15] [Jynaru] Can I reach the south pass with an arrow?
[23:15] [Vanal] [Vanal] "Cathak Hennig Vanal, son of Tiberius and Nivae, of Juche."
[23:16] [Storyteller] what's your max range Jyn?
[23:16] [Jynaru] something like 500 yards at -3.
[23:17] [Storyteller] nah, you need to be able to shoot at least 3 miles
[23:17] [Jynaru] Bah.
[23:17] [Jynaru] I shall run my way over to them.
[23:17] [Storyteller] ok you are running across the mountaintop
[23:17] [Vanal] [Vanal] "This is Tepet Kylara."
[23:18] [Storyteller] [Vanal] "Juche... I remember Juche. But your parents names have no meaining to my memory... but Hennig.... and a Tepet." he smiles and bows politely to Kylara... for some reason she blushes.
[23:19] [Vanal] [Vanal] "Er...that would likely becuase they had yet to be born when your expedition...vansihed 200 years ago."
[23:19] [Storyteller] the man behind them flinches. All the guards around him reach for their swords... and then quickly relax as the captive seems to give up.
[23:19] * Vanal keeps an eye on the anathema
[23:19] [Jynaru] (It takes me about 5 minutes from whenever I started to run to get there, I suppose. Insane running speed roughly = "When it's convienent?" )
[23:20] [Storyteller] [indeed]
[23:21] [Jynaru] [I'm the cosmic cavalry, baby. You know what the best part of this job is? Deciding who I save and who I don't.]
[23:21] [Storyteller] [Vanal] *laugh* "Yes... 200 years, nearly, isn't it.... 200 years of hiding and stalking... 200 years of hunting the most dangerous of all creation's enemies... 200 years of service to she who is most high...." he spits at the ground. "I pray the advisors who told her that it would be but a short journey were not so blind as to the date of our return."
[23:22] [Vanal] [Vanal] "Er..."
[23:22] [Vanal] [Vanal] "About the Empress..."
[23:22] [Storyteller] [Vanal] The woman who was smiling before steps away from the rest of the group.. looking at her, you wonder what she's about to do, but following her gaze, you see Jynaru on the edge of the mountain...
[23:22] [Vanal] [Vanal] "Don't worry about the man over there...he is my friend."
[23:23] [Vanal] [Vanal] "But might I inquire something ?"
[23:23] [Vanal] [Van] "It has been 200 years...but yet there are mortals in your party...how did they survive so long ?"
[23:23] [Storyteller] He nods, waving her back
[23:24] * Jynaru sliiiides into place, bowing as he goes to the woman who shot arrows and tossing her the arrow with the note on it lightly. "You forgot this." He sidesteps the snow that follows him down, looking at the other two as the wave of white passes inquiringly.
[23:25] [Storyteller] "They aren't.... These are the children.... and those who saw the light of the divine ways of the Immaculate Order and wished to atone for their deeds.
[23:25] [Vanal] "I...see."
[23:25] [Vanal] "Anyways, I am afraid I have ill news for you."
[23:26] [Vanal] "It pertaisn to the empress."
[23:26] [Storyteller] "The empress must be well, for only through Her favor could one such as you find his way into the command of such a large force..."
[23:26] [Vanal] "The Empress has vanished."
[23:26] [Storyteller] "WHAT?!"
[23:27] * Vanal nods
[23:27] * Joins: screevo (~no@dhcp024-209-046-057.neo.rr.com)
[23:27] [Vanal] "With no trace."
[23:27] [Jynaru] "6 years ago now. Got a Regent in the meantime."
[23:27] [Storyteller] His eyes narrow... "You mock me, boy..."
[23:28] [Vanal] "Sir, if I was mocking you, I would make it far more obvious."
[23:28] [Vanal] "she vanished with no trace 6years ago. A Tepet regent was selected in the interrim."
[23:29] [Storyteller] He is silent. Aghast, even.
[23:31] * Jynaru scans the others for their reaction.
[23:31] * Vanal looks totally impassive...to him, this is obviously old news...
[23:31] [Storyteller] they seem to be waiting for the reaction of their leader....
[23:31] [Storyteller] he's using a truth detecting charm, Vanal. you can spend a WP to block it.
[23:31] * Vanal lets him
[23:32] [Storyteller] "Repeat that again, one more time."
[23:32] [Vanal] "The empress vanished 6 years ago, my time. since then, a Tepet regent was selected to fill in he rposition in the interrim."
[23:33] [Storyteller] "Then the tepets... hold the throne..."
[23:33] [Jynaru] "Not quite."
[23:33] * Vanal shake shis head
[23:34] [Vanal] "The Tepet are but a shadow of their former selves."
[23:34] [Vanal] "their legions were annhilated in battle."
[23:34] [Jynaru] "No one has yet been presumptous enough to take the Throne. This is a government meant mainly to wait for her return, or one house to defeat the others."
[23:35] [Storyteller] Ragara Dened bows his head... and is silent.....
[23:36] [Storyteller] [Shhhhhnnnk....]
[23:36] [Storyteller] he has drawn his daiklaive.. it is massive... and there's a chip about the size of a house on it
[23:36] [Storyteller] "Get your friends... and leave. We will discuss our payment later....
[23:37] [Storyteller] he turns on the anathema......
[23:37] * Vanal blinks
[23:37] * Vanal turns his back
[23:37] [Vanal] "Let's go."
[23:37] [Storyteller] Kylara follows Vanal.... looking worriedly at Jynaru
[23:38] * Jynaru follows idly. "We will not be leaving the encampment just yet. Waiting on a friend."
[23:38] * Vanal make shis way back to the camp
[23:39] [Storyteller] you hear a lot of fighting and screaming
[23:39] [Storyteller] you make it back to camp..
[23:39] [Storyteller] Tabius is back! they must have got him out while you were gone
[23:40] * Vanal smiles
[23:40] [Vanal] "Good to see you, goldenrod."
[23:40] * Jynaru waves to him, sitting down on the sleeping bag. "How'd it go?"
[23:40] [Tala] As the others approach Tala slowly opens her eyes and stands. There is a crunching and crackling sound as the fine layer of ice and frost crumbles and flakes off.
[23:40] * Vanal blinks
[23:41] * Cicada is loudly screaming neigh incomphrensible questions at Tabius while shaking him violently, her cheeks streaked with tears.
[23:42] [Tabius] "uh, ummm, ouch, oh, hrmmph......"
[23:42] [Storyteller] the party down at the pass is clearly not getting along.. lots of animas are flaring
[23:42] [Storyteller] BOOMBOMMMMMMbbbb
[23:42] [Storyteller] the earth rattles and shakes...
[23:42] * Tala looks towards the south pass
[23:42] [Vanal] "What the HELL ?!"
[23:42] * Jynaru sighs. "Think I should have kept the letter for proof?"
[23:43] [Vanal] "That the hideaway ?"
[23:43] [Tabius] (*Clear something for me, the Anathema did her thing, Merin and I walked out with swaggage, and then the mountian disappeared?"
[23:44] [Storyteller] (Right)
[23:44] * Tabius in the momentary silence after the big boom, "Cicada, slow down, please and somebody help with this stuff."
[23:45] * Tabius drops the bundles he was carrying, a leather bag, a broach, a box, and a bunch of big and little swords and some odd cane.
[23:45] [Vanal] "Neat."
[23:45] * Vanal picks up some of the gear
[23:46] [Vanal] "We gonna let them kill each other down there ?"
[23:46] [Tabius] "Are we good to get our of here yet?"
[23:46] [Storyteller] there's this strange whirling noise... it sounds like a high pitched unearthly scream for a few moments... none of them move, but once the sound is again the fighting resumes as before
[23:46] * Tala continues watching the flashing and flaring essence in the south pass
[23:46] * Vanal blinks
[23:46] [Vanal] "That was odd."
[23:46] [Cicada] "They... the ones down there... are the Realm."
[23:47] [Cicada] "United under a leader... strong... and now like this."
[23:47] * Cicada shrugs sadly.
[23:47] * Tala slowly begins walking south
[23:47] * Vanal follows suit
[23:47] [Vanal] "Doesn't seem right to let them kill each other."
[23:48] [Jynaru] "You think you can stop 200 year old DBs from doing much of anything?"
[23:48] [Tabius] "Depends, as usual."
[23:49] [Storyteller] the closer you get, strangely, the harder it is to see. there seems to be a massive cloud of smoke, dancing vorticies of multicolored essence, and every so often a huge splash of golden light.... in between a dozen flowering tounges of flame.
[23:49] * Tabius puts his hand on Cicada's elbow, "You wanted to talk?"
[23:50] [Vanal] "Sweet Mela..."
[23:50] [Cicada] "Err.."
[23:50] * Cicada hurries to pick up a bundle of gear and make way after the others, leading a pair of horses.
[23:50] [Storyteller] nobodies dead yet, or at least there aren't any bodies....
[23:51] * Jynaru follows after and will assist in whatever way is deemed bwst. Got to get something to eat.
[23:51] [Vanal] "Think we should at least TRY to break them up ?"
[23:51] * Tala wraps the strip of magical cloth over her eyes and watches the battle
[23:52] * Tabius picks up the remaining bundle and walks after the others motioning for anybody else thats left to folow.
[23:52] * Tabius as there is no need to get seperated.
[23:52] * Vanal shrugs and follows
[23:52] [Storyteller] interesting... each side seems to have developed a counter for just about every move the other has. some of the essence flows actually seem to be nothing more than feints, which have been compensated for, somtetimes more efficnently than ingoring them
[23:53] [Vanal] "This is nuts..."
[23:53] [Vanal] "...but you know...wha tif we were to aim these guys at Bloom ?"
[23:53] * Tabius looks to see how many there are?
[23:53] * Tala studies the essence flows of the battle carefully
[23:53] [Storyteller] 40 mortals, 5 DBs, one solar.
[23:53] [Storyteller] it seems to be about even.
[23:53] [Tabius] "Vanal, should I end this?"
[23:54] [Vanal] "How ?"
[23:54] [Tabius] "At least for the exalted and a few mortals, by spell of course"
[23:54] [Vanal] "And then the solar picks them apart."
[23:54] [Vanal] (or did you mean all the exalted ?)
[23:54] [Tabius] Oh the Solar will be effected to."
[23:54] [Vanal] "By all means..."
[23:54] * Tala whips around, staring at Tabius
[23:55] [Storyteller] there's a horrible sound....
[23:55] [Tabius] "Tala?"
[23:55] [Storyteller] like metal grinding on stone....
[23:55] [Storyteller] something flies out of the circle!
[23:56] [Storyteller] roll dex + dodge tabius and jynaru
[23:56] [Storyteller] Storyteller (8), 4, 2, 2, 7, 7, 10, 2, 7, Successes : 5
[23:56] [Storyteller] !ex 8
[23:56] * Vanal 's shield whips around
[23:57] * Tala turns back, sliding on her jade claws
[23:57] * Vanal 's blade slides out of its sheath effortlessly
[23:57] [Vanal] "The amusement factor has faded."
[23:57] [Tabius] (*Spends 2 essence to get 4 more dice reflexively*)
[23:57] [Tabius] !ex 16
[23:57] [Storyteller] Tabius (16), 1, 9, 8, 4, 8, 8, 3, 6, 4, 4, 7, 7, 6, 10, 3, 2, Successes : 8
[23:57] [Storyteller] ok;... tabius avoids, whatever it is.
[23:57] [Storyteller] Jynaru?
[23:57] * Tala studies the flow of the battle, looking for a place to interrupt the solars defenses in favor of the Dragonblooded
[23:58] [Storyteller] roll perception + MA tala
[23:58] [Tala] !ex 8
[23:58] [Storyteller] Tala (8), 3, 1, 7, 5, 6, 9, 2, 10, Successes : 4
[23:59] [Storyteller] you'll have to watch for a few minutes, but you think you can figure it out eventually. besides this latest thing, nobody seems to be spending much essence...
[23:59] * Tala enters into a defensive form of the Rolling Seas stance, and begins the Dragons Defense Prana (water form and 5 dragon blocking)
Session Close: Sun Sep 28 00:00:01 2003


Session Start: Sun Sep 28 00:00:01 2003
Session Ident: #pvpexaltedrp
[00:00] * Vanal keeps his blade ready to simply deflect anythign zipping towards him
[00:00] [Storyteller] Storyteller (10), 2, 10, 6, 2, 5, 4, 10, 10, 1, 9, Successes : 7
[00:00] [Storyteller] !ex 10
[00:00] [Storyteller] Jynaru dodges.. whatever it is
[00:00] [Storyteller] it lands with a clunk between Tabius and Jynaru....
[00:00] [Tabius] Essence whips around Tabius in large gouts of flame flowing to forming over the battle field into a rune of power recognizable as the symbol of the Maiden of Death, Saturn. 
[00:01] [Tabius] (*ie, the spell called, The Battles End*)
[00:01] [Storyteller] it's a chunk of red jade, about a foot quare
[00:01] [Vanal] "Woah."
[00:01] [Storyteller] Suddenly the combatants grind to a stop.....
[00:02] [Storyteller] each of them staring at the other in surprise....
[00:02] [Storyteller] indeed the Fire Aspect's reaver daiklaive is missing it's tip.
[00:02] * Tabius looks at Vanal to say something.
[00:02] [Vanal] "Holy *FUCK*"
[00:03] [Tabius] (*LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!*)
[00:03] * Vanal blinks at the missing tip of the klaive
[00:03] [Vanal] "That just ain't right."
[00:03] * Vanal collects himself
[00:03] [Vanal] "People !"
[00:03] [Storyteller] it doesn't seem to be affecting Deled's stance much...
[00:03] [Vanal] "Could we all just *calm* *down* ?"
[00:04] [*Solar*]  "Could you kill them for me? Please? They're very annoying."
[00:04] [Storyteller] Storyteller (23), 1, 10, 7, 9, 7, 9, 3, 8, 2, 9, 8, 3, 6, 5, 6, 7, 10, 9, 2, 4, 4, 4, 7, Successes : 14
[00:04] [Storyteller] !ex 23
[00:04] [Storyteller] he sounds pretty convincing....
[00:04] [Vanal] Uh-huh
[00:04] [Vanal] ...
[00:04] [Storyteller] fortunately tabius' spell stops you from interfereing.
[00:04] [Vanal] "No can do."
[00:05] [Vanal] "And for the record...it'd look bad."
[00:05] * Tala looks puzzledly at Vanal
[00:05] * Tala wonders why the battle was stopped
[00:05] [Tabius] "and have a major incarna pissed at all of us."
[00:06] [Vanal] (I thought it was a bigass free-for-all, myself...)
[00:06] [Storyteller] The one surrounded in a numbus of white essence speaks... "You.. invoked the maiden of endings?"
[00:06] [Tabius] "Yes I did."
[00:06] [Vanal] "He's a dynast, for the record."
[00:06] [Storyteller] she lowers her staff... unlike every other exalted girl you've ever seen, she's an old, decripit hag.
[00:07] [Vanal] "I used to beat him up in school."
[00:07] [Storyteller] You are afraid of her ugliness....
[00:07] [Storyteller] "No Dragon Blood should be able to cast that spell....."
[00:07] [Tabius] "Thats also correct."
[00:08] [*Deled*]  "Release us! We cannot allow this Anathema to escape!"
[00:08] * Tabius looks to Vanal for orders.
[00:08] [Vanal] "He's not going anywhere."
[00:08] * Vanal smirks
[00:08] [*Solar*]  "I'm not?"
[00:09] [Vanal] "Not unless you want my girlfriend to cut you in half."
[00:09] * Vanal rests shakel on his shoulder
[00:09] [Storyteller] he takes a step... the old brotherhood moves to keep him in the center
[00:09] [Vanal] "Buddy, think for a moment."
[00:10] [Vanal] "You're at a standstill fightign these guys."
[00:10] [Vanal] "Add me, and my friends into the mix..."
[00:10] [Tala] [15 seconds up yet?]
[00:10] [Vanal] "You're a walking dead man."
[00:10] [Storyteller] The solar smiles, amused....
[00:10] [Vanal] "smile all you want, Jyn...what's your kill tally at so far ?"
[00:10] [Storyteller] [i modded the spell, it was too weak for my purposes. admittedly, i didn't expect tabius would be using it *here*... but it'll last for a scene)
[00:11] [Tabius] (*Ummm...... OOOPS!*)
[00:11] [Vanal] [the only reason I said for the spell was cause I thought the dynasts were fightign each other)
[00:11] [Tabius] [Not that we could tell the difference with all the essence roasting things]
[00:11] [Vanal] [point]
[00:11] [Storyteller] (Besides if you attacked him right after the spell would end you would gain Venus' disfavor which is probably worse than breaking an eclipse caste oath)
[00:12] [Storyteller] (They can resume the fight... but you can't get involved)
[00:12] [Vanal] (Right)
[00:12] [Tabius] "I have a solution, perhaps to the issue at hand."
[00:12] [Storyteller] (Or at leat not tabius)
[00:12] [Vanal] "Jyn, what's your kill tally at ?"
[00:12] [*Solar*]  "And what's to stop me... from dissapearing into the wind?"
[00:13] [Vanal] "Oh, just the fact that Jynaru here is checking out your head with more arrows than you can possibly fuckign imagine."
[00:13] [Vanal] "And the fact that you can run on this isle, but you can't hide ?"
[00:14] [*Solar*]  "This isle belonged to us once.... if it doesn't already, it will again soon..."
[00:14] [Vanal] "And of course, the fact we've taken out somethign like, what? 10 solars ourselves ?"
[00:15] [*Solar*]  "The Empress is gone? Then she's dead.... dead! You'll never see her again!"
[00:15] [Storyteller] the solar laughs!
[00:15] [Vanal] "Laugh all you want."
[00:15] [Storyteller] He stops laughing, and sheathes his sword.....
[00:15] [Vanal] "Empress or not, the Realm will live on."
[00:16] [Storyteller] he's a zenith, BTW.... his skin is glowing with golden essence, and his diaklaive is clearly not of this world... if it even exists
[00:16] [Tabius] "Isle of Tears for hims as well?"
[00:16] [Vanal] "Possible."
[00:16] * Jynaru sighs. "Gone doesn't even equal dead. It just means you come back stronger than before."
[00:17] [Vanal] "We'd know lots about being gone, wouldn't we ?"
[00:17] [Jynaru] "There would be the whole "Stopped fetich demon from escaping prison while escaping same prison" thing, yes."
[00:17] [Storyteller] the daiklaive winks out....
[00:18] [Storyteller] so too does the armor.'
[00:18] [Tabius] "Well ask him about getting exiled to that stupid island then......"
[00:19] [Vanal] "Death, or permanent exile, your choice."
[00:19] [Storyteller] "Death."
[00:19] [Vanal] "Fair enough."
[00:19] * Tabius takes several steps back and goes to sit down on a rock somewhere.
[00:20] * Tabius after taking the Princess by the elbow to lead her off as well.'
[00:20] * Vanal looks at the DBs
[00:20] [Vanal] "Would you like to do the honors ?"
[00:21] [Storyteller] the old air aspect speaks again... "We can't attack yet. We have to give him an even advantage."
[00:21] [Vanal] "What ?!"
[00:21] [Vanal] "*Even advantage* ?!"
[00:21] [Storyteller] she looks at tabius....
[00:21] * Tabius nods...... with a grim look on his face.
[00:22] [Storyteller] the solar shakes his head moving out of the circle.... the fire aspect concentrates.... the tip of his blade, which is missing, is instead replaced by solid fire
[00:23] [Storyteller] everyone lines up.......
[00:23] * Jynaru buffs the tip of an arrowhead idly. "How about you guys wait two hundred years, and we'll be back?"
[00:23] [Storyteller] Everyone shares a good chuckle
[00:24] [*Solar*]  "Any last requests?"
[00:24] [Jynaru] "Yes. Stop stealing my lines."
[00:24] [Storyteller] "Hm. ok, I'll let you say something then."
[00:24] * Tala scowls at the Blasphemous demon
[00:25] * Jynaru taunts the living hell out of Zenith-boy. Suck on -5 dice to everyone else!
[00:25] * Tabius takes out a silver thimbal and fills it with some snow warning it with his finger till it melts.
[00:26] [Jynaru] "Oh, and by the way... should I just bury them?"
[00:26] [Storyteller] staredooown......
[00:27] [Storyteller] "If there is no longer an Empress, the Realm does not matter. If you believe she is still alive, and not as this demon says.... burn us, so that our souls may seek rebirth, and serve once again at her side!"
[00:27] [Storyteller] [fire aspect is talkative]
[00:28] [Storyteller] Sanyet and the princess are talking on the sidelines....
[00:28] [Storyteller] you can't hear what they're saying...
[00:28] * Vanal looks at the fire aspect
[00:28] [Storyteller] the wind is too loud.....
[00:28] * Tala 's stares at the demon, her body flowing the Rolling Seas stance, waiting
[00:28] [Tabius] (*Is on the sidelines as well*)
[00:28] [Jynaru] "You know, there's a prophecy about her return we're TRYING to dragonsdamned fulfill! But you morons won't bother staying alive long enough to see it!"
[00:28] [Vanal] "And of course, the fact there's a first age anathema running around that you people might be able to help with...."
[00:29] [*Deled*]  "Do you have any idea how long it took to get him in the middle of that circle?"
[00:29] [Vanal] "But no...run away, die...give up on the people who still beleive in the Realm and what it stands for."
[00:29] [Vanal] "I'd say about 200 years."
[00:30] [Jynaru] "I've already killed one of those. Sure, he got back up, but hey. That was a year ago, and I have a good bow now."
[00:30] [Storyteller] "I do *NOT* have another 200 years to chase this bastard. If I don't do it today, I'm going to die. Do you understand?"
[00:31] [Vanal] "Of course."
[00:31] [Vanal] "But remember, you can still help the people of the Realm...don't die here."
[00:31] [Storyteller] he narrows his eyes at the anathema...... he didn't seem to hear you.
[00:32] [Storyteller] "If you have anything that can help us in this fight.. for the love of the dragons.. use it now!"
[00:32] * Vanal looks at the Zenith
[00:32] [Vanal] (OUR Zenith)
[00:32] [Storyteller] she is talking to sanyet.. .but she turns her head just enough to look into Vanal's eyes
[00:33] * Vanal looks back to the circle
[00:34] * Jynaru shrugs. "Might as well. Already damned if we don't get this bastard dealt with."
[00:34] [Storyteller] the minutes drag bye.....
[00:36] [Storyteller] ripples of cascading essence fill the air between the line and the point...... it's the geometric essence plane of doom!
[00:36] * Jynaru shrugs. "TABIUS! Tell me when to shoot."
[00:37] [Tabius] "When the sigil disappears.
[00:37] [Storyteller] the sigil is flickering....
[00:37] * Jynaru kicks up a starting block of ice. He doesn't want to be standing still at any point during this.
[00:37] * Joins: Kirad (~ieangogi@pcp04910678pcs.benslm01.pa.comcast.net)
[00:38] [Storyteller] and it's gone! init is pointless here just stunt your little assess off.
[00:38] [Storyteller] the brotherhood charges as one... essence forming them into a distinct whole, even on foot..... 
[00:42] * Tala rushes moves into the battle, watching the flows of defensive and offensive essence around the solar as he responds to attacks, striking and kicking, while flowing out of the way of counterattacks, waiting for the opportunity to unleash her planned attack
[00:43] [Storyteller] tala make a +1 stunted per + MA roll +spec if applies
[00:44] [Tala] !ex 8
[00:44] [Storyteller] Tala (8), 1, 4, 10, 2, 4, 7, 7, 6, Successes : 4
[00:45] * Jynaru bolts away, leaving a false impression of essence behind him as he moves at insane speeds, leaving only flickers of images when he dares open his eyes as he circles, exploding in a burning image of white out into the air above the melee, barreling down into it and daring the Solar to strike out at him as he bolts arows in those seconds of light. He finalls skids to a halt from the
[00:45] * Jynaru twisting dance and bows, suddenly obscured by the rushing press of blades.
[00:46] [Storyteller] +2 for Jynaru... i hope you save a couple actions for dodge
[00:47] * Jynaru has his plan. It admittedly involves the fullon ess 5 charsheet....
[00:47] [Storyteller] heh
[00:47] [Storyteller] it's ok
[00:47] * Storyteller doesn't have the time to look up the charsheets...
[00:47] [Jynaru] And now! The dooooooom that is 6 arrows!
[00:47] [Storyteller] so i'm just going to have to TRUST you guys :)

[00:47] [Storyteller] ok you made 6 arrows those are pretyy good

[00:48] [Jynaru] niiice. 19 sux, bitch.
[00:48] [Storyteller] hm, not bad.
[00:48] [Storyteller] anyone else want to take a stunt for the first turn?
[00:48] * Storyteller will resolve the first turn in one big lump at the beginning of the next game
[00:49] [Tala] why not now, instead of trying to remember?
[00:49] [Storyteller] because it will take me a loooong time to decide where I want this combat to go.
[00:49] [Storyteller] just declare your actions....
[00:50] * Vanal will hang back and cue up his group dodge charm
[00:50] [Tala] you haven't told me what i see, do i don't know what my action will be
[00:50] [Storyteller] you'll want to hold your action, I need to decide if I let you get in an unpercieved attack or not.
[00:50] [Storyteller] whikch is what i assume you're going for
[00:51] [Tala] To see if he uses something preventing him from adequately defending against my Essenc-Dousing Wave
[00:52] [Storyteller] dude, he has protection of celestial bliss... and he's so going to use a combo.  you want a unpercieved attack
[00:52] [Tala] I haven't given up on it, even though it's only worked once (twice if you count the time i got completely screwed over by its success)
[00:53] [Tala] k, so he blocks 6 or 7 attacks
[00:54] [Tala] there's 8 other people
[00:54] [Storyteller] right, so you hold your action and I think if I can work it in
[00:54] [Tala] no, like 10
[00:55] [Tala] If he uses another charm that isn't Adamant Skin or 7 shadows, i'll probably attempt it
[00:55] [Storyteller] remember POCB is scenelong, he can still use HGD this turn, and he likely has other persistants up too.
[00:55] [Tala] 1 parry, 1 dodge
[00:55] * Storyteller isn't going to screw your action but i need to have it make sense
[00:55] [Tala] yes; He can't use HGD if he uses something else
[00:56] [Kasumi] [Unless he combos, Tala.]
[00:56] [Tala] Kas: Did you read my stunt?
[00:56] [Tala] go do that
[00:56] [Storyteller] he's 300 years old, he'll use a combo, and i think he knows that he can't use HGD and that there's a immaculate over there and he's never faught an immaulate before.
[00:56] [Storyteller] so you have an advantage i jus need to think about what it is :)
[00:57] [Vanal] ('night all)
[00:57] [Storyteller] lesse... cicada want to declare an action this turn?
[00:57] [Storyteller] g'night DT
