Session Start: Fri Oct 20 19:56:06 2000 [19:56] *** Now talking in #rpg2 [19:56] *** Topic is 'We're off to see The Dragon....' [19:56] *** Set by GM on Fri Oct 20 17:16:36 [19:56] you back? [19:56] Yep [19:56] Listening to 'dreadlock holiday' [19:56] you know thats guys last name is Kasin [19:56] Yep [19:58] Doesn't matter what his reason was. Either way he was rude. [19:58] *** GM sets mode: +o kasin [19:59] quite agree [19:59] I noticed, but it didn't change my attitude [19:59] Sama [20:00] ? [20:00] Back [20:00] Who? [20:00] Sorry, BM for 'the same' [20:00] The rude guy [20:00] I guessed [20:01] So how long will it take you two to eat, and can you play while doing so? [20:01] we are cooking pizza, we can start now [20:02] Well, the pizza will be rady in 15 mins [20:02] ready [20:02] OK... I'm ready too. [20:02] So we can do a bit more for now [20:02] OKie [20:03] So... AD had just disappeared, leaving you holding the bag. [20:03] yep [20:03] well, lets get back to the city I guess [20:03] OOC: Pun intentional, I assume? [20:03] * kasin looks for the rock [20:04] (Of course!) [20:04] (The rock is where you left it.) [20:04] (It has a fairly good chalk picture of Shotan on it. Shaded in an everything.) [20:04] the picture is getting better huh? [20:05] Yep. [20:05] ok.... [20:05] Hmm [20:05] (Can you start up the dicebot again?) [20:06] we go back I guess [20:06] Hang on ... just checking something... [20:06] Dammit, what do we do about Mitsumi? [20:07] I don't know. [20:07] I don't know anything. [20:07] OK, it seems that something (no idea what!) has scared the horses away. They seem to have torn over the cactus. [20:07] is the rock here? [20:07] bugger [20:07] Yes. [20:08] They'll die of thirst if we don't go after them [20:08] (Since you said you were holding it, rather than keeping it in the saddlebags.) [20:08] yep. we are going to have to walk, and think of something to do about M [20:08] (yep) [20:08] I'vce still got a Fly on me, I'll go up and take a look [20:08] ok [20:08] I think she might be in the dragon [20:08] * alamark flies up [20:08] which I assume is that thing [20:08] Alamark flies up, and almost immediately spots one of the horses, not far away. [20:09] I approach it from behind [20:09] It will allow you to fetch it without causing any problems at all. It's nibbling on a few tufts of grass. [20:10] OK, bring it to Kasin, then look for the other one [20:10] So Alamark will come back to Kasin with a horse. [20:10] (Luckily Alamark has no ulterior motive) [20:10] :) [20:10] You don't see the other one nearby. [20:10] * kasin talks to the horse and asks it where the other one is [20:11] It kept running away from the storm. [20:11] (you'll find out after a while that loud noise=storm for this horse) [20:12] oh well [20:12] (nned to check on pizza0 [20:12] (How appropriate if Alamark was riding at the moment - now playing Texarkana. :) [20:12] Texarkana? [20:13] (R.E.M. - texas (cowboys) and arkana (magic)) [20:13] (turns oven on) [20:14] well, A can see if he can find the other horse I guess [20:14] (*smile*) [20:14] ooc: now playing Una Paloma Blanca [20:15] To cut a long story short, you'll find the other horse most of the way back to the city. It is slightly wounded ... the cactus hit it when it tore free. [20:15] Healing prof [20:15] ooc: not listening to ooc comments any more!\ [20:15] It won't do much, but hey - I have the prof! [20:16] cure light wounds on it [20:16] ooc: I fly up to the sky, I can smell the newborn hay, I can feel the newborn sunlight on my golden skylit day... [20:16] ooc: very kasinish lyrics [20:16] we get back to town I guess [20:17] OK... the horse is healed and you two get back to the city. [20:17] Kasin ries, alamark can use his fly [20:17] Presumably Alamark is still carrying the bag. [20:17] ooc: I'm not sure, but una paloma blanca means a white something horse? :) [20:17] Yes, I have the bag [20:19] OK, so you're back at the city. Get a escort through the crowds. (Prophet! Prophet!) [20:19] ooc: sorry someone jyst returned some softwarer [20:19] * alamark sighs [20:19] *** GM changes topic to 'In the city, minus Mitsumi and Shotan flat...' [20:19] now...what are we going to do about M? [20:19] * kasin throws up her hands [20:19] Viv: Umm... do you have a div? [20:19] no [20:20] I did a div, and found the answer that A told me while I was casting it [20:20] Perhaps return home and get the others to do some divs, then decide? [20:20] Viv: Home sounds good. This place is too confusing. [20:21] every place is too confusing [20:21] we can't leave tho - not without Shotan [20:22] Viv: Shotan is the rock, isn't he? [20:22] Viv: Or am I really confused now? [20:22] I assume so [20:22] Well, actually, we could plane shift back [20:22] (you can take others when you plane shift can't you?) [20:23] (Yep. Up to 7 others I think.) [20:23] backson [20:23] ok, so we can get back [20:23] we won't be able to get back here though [20:23] Viv: Why not? [20:24] ? [20:24] no plane shifts are astral ability, unless someone casts astral spell [20:24] (or astral...) [20:24] There is a sudden loud crashing... [20:24] ...as Shotan grows out of the rock ... on the table. [20:25] ah [20:25] welcome back [20:25] Shotan: Thanks. What has happened? [20:25] bugger forgot to turn the oven on [20:25] lots. make sense of it how you will [20:25] (data dump) [20:26] (OK) [20:26] good, we can travel etc now [20:26] Shotan: Hmm... very confusing. [20:27] shall we plane shift or astrally travel back? [20:27] plane shift is quicker, but can only be done occasionally [20:28] (neither NPC will give an opinion) [20:28] hmm [20:28] well, plane shift. time may be of the essence [20:28] Shotan, how did you get back? what happened to you? [20:29] Shotan: Get back? One minute I was with you guys and you were going to drop the AM shell, and then I was on that table. [20:29] oh. the image gradually looked more like you [20:29] maybe the saddle, or the spell [20:30] Well, you've been "out" for a little while [20:30] Shotan: Maybe. I don't know. [20:30] Shotan: So I figured. [20:30] well, lets go. I want M back [20:30] Well, good to have you back, but we still don't have Mitsumi [20:31] * kasin sighs [20:31] OK... you PS back? [20:31] From the sdound of it, the bastard ate her [20:31] * kasin nods [20:31] (yes) [20:31] How did he get in her room/get her out of it, I wonder? [20:31] Yes, we PS back [20:31] *** GM changes topic to 'Letnor.' [20:31] You're ba-ack. [20:32] Time gone is? [20:32] Umm... hang on. [20:33] About three and half days. [20:33] and over there was? [20:34] Same? [20:34] About 10. [20:34] ok, find Renik [20:35] Easy enough. [20:35] Renik: What's wrong. [20:35] (Data dump?) [20:35] So time passed quicker on their plane? [20:35] or ours? [20:35] (yes) [20:36] ooc: I'll go check on the pizza [20:37] Renik: Well, I have my Crown div. Should I try to use it to find out about Mitsumi? [20:37] yes [20:37] Renik will do so... [20:38] Renik: Hmm... all I was able to get is that The Dragon has Mitsumi's soul. [20:39] the same as I got [20:39] the real question is, how do we get it back? [20:39] Renik: We have to try to communicate with TD. [20:40] we do? [20:40] why? [20:41] R: Well, we may be able to bargain with it. [20:41] R: Or maybe M's temple can help us? [20:42] what did you ask about M? [20:42] R: I just asked for her status. [20:43] R: I thought that was the most general thing I could ask for. I was hoping I might get some hint on how to get her back. [20:43] I was pretty general as well [20:43] maybe that is all we can know? [20:44] another thing we shouldn't know maybe [20:44] R: That is what I'm afraid of. [20:44] most of things we deal with lately, it's like being blind [20:44] R: I wi... really would love to be able to be able to do something about that. [20:45] any ideas on how to do it? [20:45] (PS: I'm assuming we are in the castle, as we are for all non-tivial discussions) [20:45] (Yep) [20:45] R: Unfortunately not, no. [20:47] hmm [20:47] I thought, jokingly, of a god in ou back pocket, but then I remembered we already have on in our basement [20:47] R: There is that ... maybe... [20:48] R shakes his head. [20:48] R: Too many maybes. [20:49] is what? what were you thinking of? [20:49] R: Well... maybe that god could help us? [20:50] I don't think we should do that [20:50] * kasin sighs [20:50] The dracolich? [20:50] R: No, I don't either. [20:50] Karkadan or soemthing [20:50] :) [20:51] (Those are the six-legged rabbits!) [20:51] floublouts you mean (with omlaut and accent etc.) [20:51] (Yep :) [20:52] whatever [20:53] well, we will have to work on what resources we have [20:53] R nods. [20:53] Remember last time this happened, we contacted her order, and they already knew? [20:54] R: Yes. [20:54] well, we could try that [20:54] renik and I could try other divinations as well [20:54] not that they are likely to help [20:54] R: All of the above. [20:55] yes, so we contact M's order, and try and do other divs as well [20:56] (OK, how do you contact M's order?) [20:57] Sending to same guy [20:57] * kasin nods [20:57] (You have a Sending memorised or is this tomorrow?) [20:58] (any pizza left?) [20:59] no to pizza [20:59] yes to sending [21:00] OK... so what's the wording of the sending? [21:02] * kasin waits [21:04] (eating the left over sandwiches) [21:04] .ah karap]\ [21:04] * GM waits, munching on biscuits. [21:04] krap. just deletd what I wrote [21:04] try uparrow [21:07] up arrow repeats the last message for Snak [21:07] (hold on) [21:07] hmmm, does here too. [21:08] of course :( [21:09] (Dicebot please) [21:09] conecting [21:10] *** Dice_roll has joined #rpg2 [21:10] *** Dice_roll has left #rpg2 [21:10] :) [21:10] there you go [21:10] Thanks [21:14] (Ok, done.) [21:15] We have found no way to recover Mitsumi is repeated a few times [21:15] from them? [21:15] I only had the one Sending, so a response to that will have to wait until tomorrow [21:15] yes [21:15] So they've already been working on the problem it seems [21:16] R: They sure are quick. [21:16] yes [21:16] well, i'm sure they have a passel of people doing divs everyday [21:17] R: True. But how many field agents would they have? I mean they have dozens just on this continent. [21:17] assuming they don't have a more efficient way of doing it [21:17] dozens??? [21:17] Mitusmi was the only agent for this continent [21:18] R: What about her temple? [21:18] aside from her temple [21:19] R: And aside from the priests from that temple roving Maret, and any others who happen to be keeping an eye on other countries... [21:19] errr, what? [21:20] things must have stepped up in her order in regard to watching this continent if they have all those extra people assigned to this continent [21:20] R: Are you surprised, given what's been happening? [21:21] Demon attack etc. [21:21] R nods. [21:22] not that much. nice if they stopped by and said hello though [21:22] R: I think most of them are supposed to be incognito. You know what her order is like. [21:23] oh [21:23] So... what now? [21:23] left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing, no one telling anyone else what is going on [21:24] R: Well, they obviously know something about what has happened. Perhaps we should go there to ask? [21:24] sounds like Unity security was for a while [21:24] * kasin nods [21:24] we can do more in person [21:24] someone should do [21:24] R nods. [21:24] (go) [21:24] perhaps we..should contact the dragon as well [21:25] R: How? [21:25] * kasin shrugs [21:25] sedning, ORbit [21:25] Sending? [21:25] R: Even better, why don't we bring them the Dragon? [21:25] they would love that [21:26] R: I'm sure it'd help their divs. And who better to get in touch with it. [21:27] yep [21:27] R: OK, so we head over tomorrow? [21:28] yes [21:28] we could go now, via the astral [21:28] I'll need several hours to rememorise [21:28] since I don't know how else we are going to get there [21:29] R: True. [21:29] well, in that case, I guess I'm going [21:30] R: There's no real need for me to go - won't need divs or truthsensing. [21:30] alamark? [21:31] yep [21:31] I guess it's just us two, three... uh four again [21:31] yes [21:32] * kasin hugs renik [21:32] we could have done with you there [21:32] R will hug back. [21:32] R: Maybe I should have come ... [21:32] you should have [21:34] well, we should go now [21:34] R: I guess there's no need to wait for morning. Hurry back. [21:34] R looks unhappy. [21:34] R: And don't take chances. [21:35] Um, my spells? [21:35] I've used just over half [21:35] No teleports [21:35] (You have 1 left I seem to recall.) [21:35] astral travel anyway [21:35] there is a colour pool just below the temple, if i remember correctly [21:36] oh yes [21:36] lets go then [21:36] * kasin hugs R again, then mounts Shotan [21:37] You two leave.... [21:37] * alamark sighs [21:37] R will watch unhappily. [21:37] * kasin waves [21:38] (You leave?) [21:39] (yep) [21:39] (Sophie?) [21:39] (ready for astral bad dudes again) [21:39] Grrr [21:41] (I don't speak growl. Is that a yes or a no?) [21:41] yes [21:41] OK... you enter the Astral. [21:42] ...and head along towards the colour pool for quite some time. [21:42] hey, nice and peaceful [21:42] company [21:42] I think there is a yoda about [21:42] ? [21:43] Viv: What, a muppet? [21:43] I get the feeling I'm being watched [21:43] OK, roll for surprised. You get a bonus of 1 since you've been alerted. [21:44] not surprised [21:45] (You shouldn't be! This _always_ happens.) [21:45] (well, Kasin is) [21:45] (somehow) [21:45] It might be the fact that creatures suddenly appear out of nowhere to attack you. [21:45] Manes, by the looks. [21:46] Number? [21:46] They are less than 60' away when you first notice them... and there are at least 30 of them. [21:46] question - _how_ can Kasin be surprised by an attack she expects? [21:47] (I seem to recall asking you the same thing once when the positions were reversed. You may expect an attack, but anyone can freeze when something appears right near them.) [21:48] errr, 60' away? [21:48] 60' is quite close ... definitely within the limit of vision. You should have seen them much earlier. [21:48] (ok, she is surprised. she does surprised type things this round) [21:49] Alamark? [21:50] buggert [21:50] Web spell [21:50] OK. The manes are in two seperate groups, but you'll be able to get most of one group, probably. [21:50] Init [21:52] * kasin waits [21:55] cool [21:56] dice bot working now? [21:56] anyone hear me?> [21:57] *** Disconnected Session Close: Fri Oct 20 21:57:05 2000 Session Start: Fri Oct 20 21:57:37 2000 [21:57] *** Now talking in #rpg2 [21:57] *** Topic is 'Letnor.' [21:57] *** Set by GM on Fri Oct 20 20:31:42 [21:57] glenn can't see our messages and we cannm't see his [21:57] see me now? [21:57] yep [21:57] Yep [21:58] *** GM sets mode: +o mrs_white [21:58] I connect to a closer server, in auckland [21:58] Cool. [21:59] dice bot working now? [21:59] anyone hear me?> [21:59] *** kasin has quit IRC (Leaving) [21:59] Anyway, Alamark manages to catch most of one group in his Web spell. [21:59] ok [21:59] Hmm... [21:59] *** mrs_white is now known as kasin [21:59] It's stuck again. :( [22:00] hmm [22:00] fine for me [22:01] fine for you too, by the looks [22:01] Fine for too, now. [22:01] :) [22:01] Anyway, Shotan (who is not surprised) will charge into the other group, partially scattering it. [22:02] Make and attack roll for SHotan's charge, Kasin. [22:03] DV 25 and 41 (=2 for charging) [22:03] OK, SHotan will hurl a few of the slower manes bodily aside with his charge. [22:03] (Not hoof attacks, trample.) [22:04] ok [22:04] Two of the manes will reach Alamark and be able to attack. These are from the webbed group. The others changed direction to scatter. [22:05] The two manes rush at Alamark and slam into each other as he sidesteps ... the are carried on past by their attack. [22:06] Next round? [22:06] So they break free from the web, or they're some that didn't get webbed? [22:06] how many are free? [22:07] Two were right on the outside and escaped totally. Some are struggling free, but most of that group are totally trapped. [22:07] There are around fifteen free ... and almost all of them are near Kasin. [22:07] attack those [22:08] Alamark? [22:08] (We'll want to finish soonish .. I'm starting to crash) [22:09] * kasin waits [22:09] crap. I'm practically out of offensive spells [22:10] Pick an action please. [22:11] Expose my shirt [22:11] oh dear [22:12] OK ... you flash at the Manes. Init. [22:12] these manes _do_ keep back to see alamark's chest [22:12] Alamark quickly exposes himself. [22:13] The creatures closest to him stop to stare at Alamark... [22:13] (comig back...) [22:13] ...meanwhile, back at the Kasin slaughterhouse... [22:13] ...Kasin chops down a number of Manes. [22:13] ermmm, how many hit points around do they have? [22:13] (are manes CE? I've forgotten) [22:14] Yes. And less than 20, put it that way. [22:14] (ok. she kills them with any hit, and probably only misses on a 1 and then another low number) [22:14] (basically kills 7 per round, plus generally 2 from Shotan) [22:14] Exactly. Same with Shotan. [22:15] So you two kill 9, Alamark amazes 5 ... leaving one that manages to get close to Alamark... [22:15] damn [22:15] ..and actually keeps coming right at him. [22:15] It claws at Alamark but is stopped by his protections. [22:16] Both of you roll d20 [22:17] nice bracket I'd say [22:18] (Alamark, other window.) [22:18] Actions for next round? [22:18] let kasin finish them off [22:19] let shotan kill that last one, look around for the main bad guys [22:19] The devils and demons are fighting in the distance [22:19] oh [22:19] Look slike a marilith [22:19] And some baatezu [22:19] OK .. it is as Alamark says. Quite a big battle, and getting bigger. [22:19] They're all ignoring you guys for now... [22:19] let's leave [22:20] I agree [22:20] You leave and get to the colour pool without further incident. [22:20] And we'll leave it here for the night. [22:20] Have 18k XP. Kasin can have 3 favor. [22:21] alrighty! [22:21] excellent [22:21]
