-->	Kasin (~glennb@pandius.ichr.uwa.edu.au) has joined #rpg2
<Kasin>	hi
<Kasin>	heello?
-->	alamark (~sophie@host88.ichr.uwa.edu.au) has joined #rpg2
<alamark>	hi
<alamark>	KFC for dinner again :)
<--	GM has quit (Ping timeout for GM[j26.mri34.jaring.my])
<Kasin>	hmmm
<alamark>	So who's op then?
<alamark>	grab some chips while you can
<Kasin>	no one
*	Kasin  sighs
-->	GM (hannes@j31.mri33.jaring.my) has joined #rpg2
<Kasin>	hi
<GM>	Hi guys. No ops?
<Kasin>	watched you timeout earlier :)
<Kasin>	nope, you were the last
<Kasin>	(our last, best hope for Ops...)
<alamark>	So what now?
<alamark>	:)
<Kasin>	nothing, we live without it
<GM>	Well, we either go on without OP or we all quit the channel and then return after a few secs.
<Kasin>	lets just leave without it. if we encounter a problem, meet on #rpg
<Kasin>	it's unlikely
<GM>	OK. I believe that Kasin has just been found to be a prophet...
<GM>	... and there was a problem with the swords.
<Kasin>	yesssss
---	GM has changed the topic to: Up dust creek without an intelligent sword.
<Kasin>	ok, now what to do next
<Kasin>	If possible, I'd like to deal with the dragon first, but I don't know where to start
<GM>	Rest for the night?
<Kasin>	rest for the night is probably a good thing :)
<alamark>	(L): How long before the crown recharges for a div, Renik?
<GM>	R (L) I get one per week.
<GM>	R: (L) So in four days I get another.
*	Kasin  nods
<alamark>	ok
<Kasin>	defeating the dragon will initially primarily be an information gathering exercise
<Kasin>	either that, or someone wiull have a brainwave
<Kasin>	I doubt it's easily killable in the traditional way
<GM>	R: I'm wondering about the timing. I mean, why would the dragon come back to life now? Assuming it's the same dragon.
<Kasin>	Yes
<Kasin>	Although, we don't now that it will actually come back to life
<Kasin>	unless we can bring it back to life and thus kill it
<alamark>	What can you tell us about what happened in there?
<Kasin>	what else do you want to know?
<Kasin>	(who is here for this?)
<GM>	Presumably the party. Ab will still be with you guys unless you make it clear he's not wanted.
<Kasin>	(thats fine)
<Kasin>	what else do you want to know?
<alamark>	Describe it step by step what you experienced
*	Kasin  sighs
<Kasin>	Firstly, AD wanred me that if I came out with swords drawn in a threatening posture, he would attack me
<alamark>	This could be important
<Kasin>	he cast various defensive spells
<alamark>	ok
<Kasin>	I also cast various defensive spells
<GM>	K: Did you recognise his spells?
<Kasin>	no
<Kasin>	one casued him to be colourless
<Kasin>	another had no obvious sign, and another created some kind of defensive ward, like black teeth
<alamark>	Sounds like a shadow-based spell
<Kasin>	possibly
<alamark>	(The colourless oen)
<alamark>	one
<Kasin>	anyway, after I finished casting spells, I went in
<Kasin>	the heart itself is quite large, large enough to actually clamber inside it
<Kasin>	once itside I attacked it with Viv and Elenil
<Kasin>	mainly to see how it would react
<Kasin>	bkackness came from the wounds and surrounded me, and I could no longer feel myself
<Kasin>	It tried to rip me in half, mentally
<Kasin>	but I refused.
<GM>	Orbit: Telekinetically or purely mentally?
<Kasin>	not sure. it felt mental in nature
<GM>	Orbit: If it's mental, then the wards that are stopping me might have been designed to hinder it.
<Kasin>	possibly
<Kasin>	Then it tried to tempt me
<Kasin>	with power. scenes of me rising up, even slaying Kalnan
<Kasin>	scenes of glory, that kind of thing
<GM>	R looks concerned.
<GM>	R: That would imply it read your mind to some degree.
<Kasin>	yes, it would
<GM>	R: Through your Mind Blank.
<Kasin>	It knew about Kalnan, for example
*	Kasin  nods
<GM>	R nods slowly.
<Kasin>	Well, a mind blank won't protect against a powerful deity, nor facing an avatar
<GM>	R: Exactly.
<Kasin>	Then I heard heartbeats, two heartbeats. one of them mine.
<Kasin>	Then mine stopped
<Kasin>	It hurt, but since I refused to die, it seemed to get a bit desperate
<Kasin>	it washed over me with a tide of evil so strong I haven't felt the like before
<Kasin>	but, I've faced that kind of evil before, and won, so I wasn't going to give in now
<Kasin>	Then I was outside the heart
<Kasin>	and it was over
<GM>	Kasana: Just as well it was you that went.
<Kasin>	Yes, just as well
<alamark>	Yes
*	Kasin  chuckles
<alamark>	So you don't remember doing anything to/with Viv and Elenil apart from the beginning
<Kasin>	No
<Kasin>	when I appeared, elenil wasn't glowing and viv wasn't talking
<GM>	K: Elenil glows?
<alamark>	What about the symbols of power?   Could they help perhaps?
<Kasin>	Yes, in the presence of undead or cold using creatures
<Kasin>	Inside the heart, elenil was vibrating so much I could barely keep hold of it
<alamark>	(L): Elenil only glows when undead are nearby, and since it was going mad when AD was nearby...
<Kasin>	(to A) I don't know
<Kasin>	(L0 Yes. You realise Ab speaks this langauge?
*	Kasin  smiles
<GM>	M: Could Elenil have been afraid?
<Kasin>	maybe
<Kasin>	I had no sensation of fear
<GM>	Ab nods to Kasin.
<GM>	M: But you don't normally get sensations from Elenil?
<Kasin>	no, I don;t
<alamark>	It's not our kind host that I am adverse to hearing certain things...
*	Kasin  nods
<alamark>	Elenil is particularly silent for an intelligent sword
<alamark>	99.9% of the time, anyway
<GM>	M: Not really. Many intelligent swords don't actually talk.
<Kasin>	I'm a bit surprised. 
<Kasin>	elenil is just so alien
<Kasin>	was elenil destroyed? corrupted?
<GM>	M: Do you even know he's damaged? Maybe he was simply no longer trying to warn you of whatever it was.
<Kasin>	maybe
<Kasin>	although he is not aligned now
<GM>	K: Was he before?
<Kasin>	I don't know
<GM>	R: I never did a Know Alignment with the Crown on him before.
*	Kasin  nods
<Kasin>	Morn indicated _their_ minds are gone, plural
<GM>	M: I was about to ask that.
<GM>	R nods.
<Kasin>	Also, Morn said, as best as I can remember...
<Kasin>	at the moinds could not be recreated while the dragon lives
<Kasin>	although he placed special emphasis on the "lives"
<GM>	M: I'm really interested in the fact that Morn gave you information from a simple prayer, when my Divinations and Communes don't work.
<Kasin>	more like...."while the dragon....livs"
<Kasin>	simple prayer?
<alamark>	Well, given the similarities between Morn and God...
<GM>	M: (to A) True, but my divs could be accepted by Morn.
<Kasin>	did you try, about this?
<Kasin>	This is quite important to me, and Morn knows this
<GM>	M: Well, not about this.
<GM>	M: Should I do one about the dragon? Or about the heart? Or about the swords for that matter?
<Kasin>	The rule of magic here not not allow a response to the divs anyway - prayer might be different
<Kasin>	yes, all three? :(
<alamark>	One day, we're going to go to a place where Lyca literally rules...
<Kasin>	Actually, I'm not so sure that Morn rules this place
<GM>	M: I've tried just praying. That didn't work either.
*	Kasin  shrugs
<Kasin>	Well, I don't knwo
<GM>	Beorn nods to Alamark.
<Kasin>	I'm just guessing
<alamark>	you know what I mean
<alamark>	A place where light isn't the be all and end-all of whatever society lives there
<Kasin>	Lyca is also a goodess of the light
<GM>	Bruin: Gentler light than Morn's though.
*	Kasin  nods
<Kasin>	well, if you want to give it a shot Mitsumi...
<GM>	M nods.
<GM>	M: Maybe you coming out of the Heart changed the rules. Back soon...
<GM>	M wanders off to her room.
<Kasin>	(if AB wants an exaplantion of some of the terms, Kasin will provide them)
<GM>	Most of that last conversation went over his head, so it'd be nice.
<Kasin>	(do you want me to RP it out? I assume not)
<GM>	(Nope)
<GM>	Mitsumi will return after a while and shake her head.
<Kasin>	(ok. she explains)
<GM>	M: Nothing.
<Kasin>	Oh
<Kasin>	well...
*	Kasin  shrugs again
<alamark>	Damn
<alamark>	Aarrghhh
<Kasin>	Yes. without divinations, we have a great deal more trouble
<alamark>	Do you think it's circlet time?  Or do we wait for the crown?
<Kasin>	we can't afford to stay here for too long
<GM>	Jade: I just had a thought.
<Kasin>	yes?
<GM>	Jade: There were some threads of magic in the church.
<Kasin>	yes?
<alamark>	Ummm
<GM>	Jade: They moved outwards, and I've just realised why I can't see the wards.
<Kasin>	yes?
<GM>	Jade: They are too spread out away from the church. They seem to be centered there.
<Kasin>	ahh, thats interesting
<GM>	Jade: Or near there.
<Kasin>	Phadi Abdin, are there any hly reliucs the prophet left behind?
<alamark>	If you lose yourself in the magic, we may not be able to rescue you...
<Kasin>	(is there any chance I can type? not likely. damn wards against typing)
<GM>	Jade: Mind you, I couldn't really see enough to check just what sort of wards they were.
<GM>	(Ab: Any hilly relics? Well, there's his hillbilly grandmother...) :)
<GM>	Ab: Holy relics? There is the book of his teachings.
<Kasin>	hmmmm, anything else?
<GM>	Ab: Well, the prophet himself? He is interred in the church crypt.
<alamark>	How about remains of saints?  Has anyone been buried in the church?
<alamark>	Ahh
<alamark>	Now were getting somewhere
<alamark>	Any prophecies about the prophet rising again?
<alamark>	A second coming, or similar?
*	Kasin  shrugs
<Kasin>	can we approach the area?
<GM>	Ab: There are prophecies, yes. They mention a second propthet though, and they seem to imply that it's not the same one.
<GM>	Ab: You can approach anywhere you like.
<GM>	Ab: (bowing slightly) Prophet
<Kasin>	I see
*	Kasin  smiles
<Kasin>	I see
*	Kasin  slaps her evil twin
<Kasin>	Can we go there now?
<alamark>	We, or you?
<GM>	Ab: If you wish.
<alamark>	I take it only Kasin is considered a prophet?
<GM>	(Note, you haven't rested yet - not that it's too late or anything.)
<GM>	Ab: Yes.
<alamark>	Excellent
*	Kasin  raises an eyebrow at Alamark
<alamark>	I'm too busy to be a prophet
<alamark>	:)
<Kasin>	Well, shall we go now then?
<alamark>	I'm so far behind in my quests, I can't afford to die...
<GM>	M: (musing) You know, maybe you prayers were answered because you are the prophet...
<alamark>	OK
<alamark>	Perhaps
<GM>	Ab: Of course.
<alamark>	Prophet or prophecied one?  Is there a difference?
<Kasin>	Hmmm, perhaps. perhaps
<GM>	Ab: not in this case, no.
<Kasin>	I can't afford to die either. Girak needs a mother.
<GM>	R nods.
<GM>	(You go back to the church?)
<Kasin>	(yes)
---	GM has changed the topic to: Holy prophets, Batman. They're everywhere...
<GM>	Not long after you stand in the chamber that has the entrance to the crypts.
<Kasin>	What can you see Jade?
*	Kasin  detects evil around casually
<GM>	Jade: Hmm... no. We are further from the center than before.
<Kasin>	Ok, can you direct us?
<GM>	Jade: OK. (she grins)
<GM>	Jade will begin to amble through the church, pausing occasionally to look around carefully.
<GM>	After a while you have moved in a large arc.
<GM>	...and arrive back where you started.
<GM>	Jade: There's gotta be something in the center.
<Kasin>	center?
<Kasin>	Center of....?
<GM>	Jade: We have moved around the center of the magic. I can't get to the middle...
<GM>	Jade: Ah shit! They're angled.
*	Kasin  frowns at Jade
<GM>	Jade: It's below us. Below and ahead.
<Kasin>	Jaed, please watch your language
<Kasin>	Phadi Abdin, what is there?
<GM>	Jade: (absently) Sorry.
<GM>	Ab: The workrooms, the library, the private rooms of the lesser priests.
<GM>	Ab: I haven't been down there apart from when we went to the vault.
<Kasin>	the vault...
<Kasin>	lets head in that direction
<GM>	Jade: No, I couldn't see anything at all near that place.
<Kasin>	ok, in that case, we need to have a look manually
<GM>	Ab will nab a guard who will lead you to a staircase. You can descend a level.
<Kasin>	perhaps we could triangulate?
<GM>	(The monsters in the lower levels are tougher and worth more XP.) :)
<Kasin>	find the points where the field strength is equal?
<GM>	Jade: Yeah. Let's see if I can find threads here.
<Kasin>	(cool? is the guard the end of level monster?)
<GM>	(Nope, he's a NPC. You can't attack him.)
<Kasin>	(ahhh, the helpful NPC)
<GM>	Jade will amble around again...
*	alamark  sighs :)
<GM>	...and eventually will say...
<GM>	Jade: Another level down.
<Kasin>	down we go then
<GM>	Ab: I didn't know there was one. I shall ask.
<GM>	Ab will nab a young priest, who will inform him (in latin) that the level below is off limits to him. He can show you the staircase to get to it though.
<Kasin>	thats good enough
<GM>	You descend the staircase and get to another level. This one is fairly much empty of people. You do meet a higher-ranking priest who will bow politely and go on his way.
<GM>	Jade will amble again.
<Kasin>	(heh. this prophet business has it's perks)
<GM>	You come to another staircase leading upwards. Right beside this is a guardroom with ten guards.
<Kasin>	(is this familiar?)
<GM>	Nope. The other place had less guards, and wasn't as large.
<Kasin>	(hmmm....)
<Kasin>	(to the guards): What is this place?
<GM>	Guard Commander: The jail, lady.
<Kasin>	I see. Mind if we enter?
<GM>	GC: I am afraid I have strict orders, lady. I cannot let you enter. You could ask (x,y or z) to change my orders, however.
<Kasin>	Me specifically?
<GM>	GC: No, lady. Only those three may enter, and those they have named.
<Kasin>	I see.
<GM>	Ab: They are the highest ranking priests of the church.
*	Kasin  nods
<GM>	(Note - none of them is AD.)
<Kasin>	Well, ew can see them in the morning then
<GM>	GC bows.
<Kasin>	Unless they happen to be nearby?
<GM>	GC sends three of his guards off to check.
*	Kasin  waits for the guards to return
*	alamark  waits
<GM>	A few minutes later, one of the guards will come jogging back.
<GM>	G1: I have found, Z. He is on his way.
<GM>	GC nods.
<GM>	A moment later Z will glide in (priests don't run).
<GM>	Z: Greetings prophet. How may I serve?
<Kasin>	We would like to find out what is behind here
<GM>	Z: Of course. GC, the prophet may enter at any time.
<GM>	GC salutes smartly.
<GM>	GC: Yes, <title>.
<Kasin>	and my companions?
*	Kasin  gestures to include everyone
*	GM  mumbles that maybe he should do some preparation and name NPCs, give them titles... NAH!
<GM>	Two soldiers will jump up and open the doors wide. Another will get a lantern from a rack.
*	Kasin  smiles
<Kasin>	The lantern will not be necessary
<GM>	Z: (to K) You may take anyone you wish. Will you be needing my presence?
<Kasin>	No
<GM>	Z will bow slightly and glide out.
<GM>	(He has the gliding NWP.)
*	Kasin  moves through the doors
<Kasin>	(Kasin just has stomping)
<GM>	You move into a short corridor with various doors leading off it.
<Kasin>	Jde?
<Kasin>	(argghhh)
<GM>	Each door is stone, and is engraved with runes that seem to absorb your light.
<alamark>	Perhaps we should haver asked who was in here first...
<Kasin>	hmmmm
*	Kasin  detects evil
*	Kasin  stops de'ing
<Kasin>	Nothing I can detect
<Kasin>	Jade, do you know where?
<GM>	Jade nods and waddles down the corridor.
<GM>	At the end of the corridor is a small staircase leading downwards. There is a larger door at the bottom of it, with even more runes.
<GM>	Jade: Beyond that door.
<Kasin>	do the runes absorb the light as well?
<GM>	Yes. It's quite gloomy near that door.
<GM>	You hear a faint sound in the distance ... a gong?
<Kasin>	from down?
<alamark>	Uh-oh...
<GM>	Ab stiffens. You can hear the guards leap up back in the guardroom.
<Kasin>	What is that?
<GM>	Ab: Danger. The city is under attack.
<Kasin>	lets go upstairs!
<GM>	GC has sent five of his guards hurrying up the staircase.
<Kasin>	interesting timing, don't you think?
<GM>	You hurry up the stairs?
<Kasin>	a drgon has appeared
<Kasin>	(yes)
<GM>	Ab: Then the prophecy is true.
<Kasin>	a big one
<Kasin>	Oh great. Just when we could really do with viv and elenil!
*	Kasin  hurries
<Kasin>	No!
<GM>	You reach the top of the stairs. Ab will lead you towards the exit.
<Kasin>	the dragon has destroyed the mansion we were staying at
<GM>	Ab: By God!
<Kasin>	(mad about you is now playing...)
<Kasin>	What?
<GM>	(I'm playing Roxette - Paint)
<GM>	Ab: The mansion? It must have been after you.
<Kasin>	(mad about you is a sting song - _that_ song)
*	Kasin  nods
<Kasin>	irt's heading towards us
<GM>	(Yep)
<GM>	Kasana begins chanting.
<Kasin>	how close are we to the exit outside?
<GM>	You burst into the courtyards, people are scurrying everywhere.
<GM>	In the distance, but coming rapdily closer, is a huge black dragon.
*	Kasin  draws her swords
<GM>	(Sophie, you still there?)
<alamark>	OOC: Yep, but I _really_ need to toddle off to the bathroom.  BRB
<Kasin>	(me too!)
<GM>	(The dragon scare you that much?)
<Kasin>	:) I'm abck, Sophie isn't
<GM>	(Girls take longer.. :) (on average)
<Kasin>	(yep. i'm in a prime position to notice this, right next to the door to the door to the toliets as I am)
<GM>	(Now playing - Chances)
<alamark>	OOC: back
<Kasin>	(when left our heroes last...)
<alamark>	sighs
<Kasin>	9ready)
<GM>	OK, the dragon is approaching rapidly. What do you do?
<Kasin>	stand ready
<GM>	People near you scatter, fleeing in all directions in panic.
<GM>	Kasana finishes her spell but nothing appears to happen.
<Kasin>	(yeah grandkiddy, I was there, right near the prophet I was. Saw the whole thing)
<GM>	The dragon swoops towards you, but pulls up at the last minute and releases a stream of acid that turns the rock into a bubbling mess.... tracing a line towards the party at extreme speed.
<alamark>	Damn it, I Meteor Swarm the bastard.
<GM>	(Now playing - Dangerous)
*	Kasin  dodges
<alamark>	Fuck, not resist to acid
<alamark>	Me tries to finish spell
<GM>	As you start chanting, the line reaches the party ... and bounces off a barrier.
<Kasin>	(what is ab doing anyway?)
<alamark>	(Ah, thank you Kasana...)
<GM>	K: (to A) My force sphere should stop that one...
<GM>	The dragon flies by overhead ...
*	Kasin  casts resist acid and corrosion
<GM>	Shotan "flies" down, just behind the dragon. He suddenly changes direction, skidding, and comes to a stop near the party .. just near where the acid was stopped.
<GM>	(Alamark, you finish your spell and hurl it after the dragon?)
*	Kasin  moves towards shotan, but not too close
<alamark>	Agh, spellcraft check to find out whether it's likely to bounce back?
<Kasin>	(uhoh!)
<GM>	(OK...)
<Kasin>	(dicebot loading...)
-->	Dicebot (~glennb@pandius.ichr.uwa.edu.au) has joined #rpg2
<alamark>	d20
<--	Dicebot (~glennb@pandius.ichr.uwa.edu.au) has left #rpg2
<alamark>	damn
<Kasin>	(dicebot loaded)
<alamark>	d20
<GM>	(ON #dicerolls.)
<GM>	(ON #dicerolls.)
<alamark>	make by 7
<GM>	(If it's some sort of force barrier it will cause the meteors to impact - and explode.)
<alamark>	Ah, I guess I lose the spell then
<alamark>	What time of day is it?
<GM>	You do.
<GM>	Late afternoon, getting towards dusk.
<GM>	Shotan moves forwards cautiously and encounters an invisible barrier. He leans against it.
---	You have new mail (165 messages, 5264905 bytes total).
<GM>	K is frowning.
<GM>	K: Should I dispel the sphere?
<alamark>	What is the dragon doing?
<Kasin>	We can't do much in here. either can it, yet.
<GM>	(The dragon has passed from sight ...)
<GM>	K: Well, we can throw indirect spells at it.
<GM>	K: I mean direct spells.
<GM>	K: LIke hold monster.
<alamark>	I say we go after the heart.  It's probably our only chance
<Kasin>	Well, do so then.
<Kasin>	Si there any way out?
<alamark>	Well, the sphere would need to have an opening...
<GM>	K: Of the sphere? No, it's a sphere.
<Kasin>	Ok, so we wait here then????
<GM>	K: I think it goes underground.
<GM>	K: I can dispel it if you want.
<GM>	(The ground burned by the acid is now a furrow...)
<Kasin>	Well, where is the dragon?
<Kasin>	(what is ab doing?)
<GM>	R: It went that way (gestures). It's behind the church somewhere.
<GM>	(The church blocks your view in that direction rather effectively.)
<alamark>	Kasin, what are Viv and Elenil doing right now?
<GM>	Ab is looking pale, but is standing quietly with his sword in hand.
<Kasin>	Nothing (Imagine)
<GM>	S begins to slowly climb upwards over the sphere.
<Kasin>	(oops, that was I imagine. oh well)
<GM>	(Now playing - Shadow of a Doubt)
<alamark>	Viv, can you here us?
<GM>	S keeps circling upwards over the sphere.
<GM>	(no answer from Viv)
<Kasin>	It's landed on the market
<Kasin>	We need to get out, sorry Kasana
<alamark>	Kasana, how long will this sphere last?
<GM>	K: I ... am not sure.
<GM>	K is looking throughful.
<GM>	(lose the 'r')
<GM>	(and add a 't' - thoughtful)
<Kasin>	Why not?
<GM>	K: I never finished researching this spell. Well, never really started actually.
<Kasin>	Why did you cast it then?
<GM>	K: I wasn't thinking too clearly. I just ... cast it. It seems to have worked.
<Kasin>	So we can't get out at all??
<GM>	K: I was most of the way through it before I realised I didn't actually know it.
<GM>	K: I'm sure I can dispel it. Well, fairly sure.
<Kasin>	Some soldiers are prearing to attack the dragon
<Kasin>	Well, do it then!!!
<Kasin>	the soldiers have AD as well
<GM>	K: Don't get snappy. I've asked a few times already.
<GM>	K casts Dispel Magic.
<GM>	K: Should be gone now.
*	Kasin  tries to move forards
<GM>	Kasin moves forwards.
<Kasin>	There is another dragon attacking the first dragon
<Kasin>	(can she?)
<GM>	You see a flash of light from behind the temple, and the earth shakes.
<GM>	Shotan turns and starts to descend rapidly towards the group.
<GM>	(Can she what?)
<Kasin>	(move through where the barrier was)
<Kasin>	(I've been waiting for that to tell Shotan to come back)
<GM>	(as I said, you move forwards)
<Kasin>	(ahh, sorry)
<alamark>	Right, I think some of us should go back to the area where the heart is/was/
<alamark>	Jade?
<GM>	Jade: yeah, I'll come. Don't want to play with the big one.
<GM>	Kasana: It's dragon-killing time.
<Kasin>	I'm going to go to the big dragon, even weakened as I am at the moment
<alamark>	Mitsumi?
<GM>	Kasana starts to cast another spell.
<GM>	M: I'll come to the Heart.
<GM>	Ab: I must aid the city. I will see you all later. God watch over you.
*	Kasin  nods
<alamark>	And you
<GM>	(Ab starts to run around the temple.)
*	Kasin  waits for Shotan
<GM>	Shotan lands.
*	Kasin  oves towards the market on 2nd thought
*	Kasin  gets on shotan
<Kasin>	anyone want a lift?
<GM>	Reben I can't fly. I'll come to the Heart.
<GM>	Wilder: No thanks. Time to fly on my own.
<GM>	Wilder casts Fly.
<GM>	Kasana finishes Fly.
<GM>	Bruin and Beorn finish a quiet conversation and follow Ab.
<alamark>	Reben, want a fly?
<GM>	Reben: Yes, please.
<Kasin>	Renik?
<alamark>	I cast Lfy on Reben
<alamark>	Fly
<GM>	Wilder and Kasana fly over the church, towards the market.
<Kasin>	Times like this I need a lance
<GM>	Re: I will go to the Heart. I will be of more use there.
<Kasin>	(I assume Shotan doesn't have the lance with him)
<Kasin>	ok
*	Kasin  leaves towards the dragon
<GM>	Renik: What happened to your magical one?
<alamark>	Anyone else need spells the join the combat?
<Kasin>	(thats why I asked)
<Kasin>	(she wouldn't be carrying a lance on a trip into the temple, but Shotan might)
<GM>	The ground shakes again, you hear a distant roar as a building collapses.
<GM>	The wind is picking up rapidly.
<GM>	(Nope.)
<GM>	Reben flies upwards and away.
<alamark>	Let's go after the heart
<GM>	Alamark, Renik, Mitsumi and Korvic go for the Heart.
<Kasin>	(ok - head towards the market at top speed)
<alamark>	And the (party) dragons?
<GM>	The dragons will come.
<alamark>	Ditto, but for the Heart
<alamark>	OK
<GM>	You enter the church, the sounds of magical battle becoming stronger in the distance.
<alamark>	Jade?
<GM>	You quickly make your way downwards, there is no-one to stand in your way.
<GM>	Jade: Yes?
<alamark>	What can you sense here magically?
<GM>	(Where do you ask this?)
<Kasin>	(want to do this on another window?)
<alamark>	In the main room of the church I guess

---	GM has changed the topic to: Fighting the end-of-level boss. Cool merc though, just wish he'd hurry up...
<GM>	OK, you get back together.
*	Kasin  sighs
<alamark>	Well?
<Kasin>	It got away, but not before saying much of interest
<GM>	Angel: Excuse me, there seem to be people requiring my help.
<alamark>	Scratch that
<GM>	The angel moves to a nearby house and starts moving rubble ... with ease.
<alamark>	Exactly
<alamark>	Shotan, with your strength, we could really do with moving the rubble
<alamark>	I just tried to summon an eart elemental but it failed
*	Kasin  nods
<Kasin>	We will do what we can
<GM>	Shotan: Gladly, although I will have to take care.
<GM>	Only two stone houses have collapsed, both near to the magical battle between AD and the dragon.
*	Kasin  will go and move rubble looking for people
<GM>	The survivors will be helped out and quickly healed by the party.
<GM>	Amazingly there don't appear to have been any deaths amongst the populace.
<GM>	Apart from at Ab's mansion.
<alamark>	Damn
<Kasin>	rats!
<alamark>	Well, we - Mitsumi really - spoke to the prophet for a bit
<alamark>	I gather he wasn't very helpful
<Kasin>	the prophet?
<alamark>	He seems to have been unable to accept that his replacement was female
<alamark>	We went to the crypt
<Kasin>	oh dear!
<alamark>	I asked him to arise
<GM>	M: he seemed somewhat insance actually. Or rather, his spirit did.
<alamark>	What?
<GM>	M: And no, I didn't use a spell.
<Kasin>	(insane?)
<GM>	(yes)
<alamark>	He said something about the dragon being within us, and so he was unable to help us
<alamark>	I believe the words I used were...
<alamark>	"Prophet!  Your people need your help."
<alamark>	and...
<alamark>	Servant of the True God, the dragon has arisen.  Will you not arise also?
---	GM has changed the topic to: Winding down ... last drinks?
<Kasin>	very poetic there Alamark
<alamark>	Then I told him your were fighting it already
<Kasin>	what did he sau?
<Kasin>	(say?)
<alamark>	He spoke in Latin, but obviously reacted to what I said, even though it was in "language"
<Kasin>	(actually, we can have this alamark - kaisn conversation in the car)
<GM>	Yep. I need to go to sleep.
<Kasin>	yes. any other conversations?
<GM>	They will have to wait.
<Kasin>	ok
<Kasin>	I need sleep too
<alamark>	OOC: Do I get favour?
<alamark>	OOC: Do I get bonus XP?
<alamark>	OOC: Did I actually do anything useful?
<GM>	You both get 20k XP. Kasin can have 21 favor. Alamark gets 1 point.
<alamark>	YESSSS!!!!
*	GM  waves.
<GM>	Good night all....
*	Kasin  waves
