Session Start: Tue Jul 25 18:54:34 2000 [18:54] *** Now talking in #rpg2 [18:54] hi [18:54] Howdie [18:56] *** GM sets mode: +o kasin [18:56] I assume that you guys have had dinner? [18:56] yep [18:56] just replying [18:57] Sophie is having trouble with her client [18:57] Ah.... [19:02] *** alamark has joined #rpg2 [19:02] greetings [19:02] Hi [19:02] I believe I was ignoring the prat who's wife is a banshee? [19:03] whose [19:03] Where you? I've forgotten. The problem with face-to-face RP is that there are no logs. :( [19:03] hang on [19:04] :) [19:04] rats, no char sheets thus no history :( [19:04] I've forgotten too [19:04] Luinja was trying to research a spell, since Orbit wasn't really up to the task [19:05] We had just finished with Joan [19:05] Kasin had traveled to the astral and home (and had to go back home for that matter) [19:05] Ah yes [19:05] I had screwed it up royally, if you'll pardon the pun, by telling Girak [19:05] :) [19:05] yes [19:06] I'm not sure what we were actually going to do next however [19:07] aside from kasin going back to Karaash [19:07] The thing with Kasana and the demon? [19:07] demon... [19:07] what demon? don't remeber this [19:07] She was wanting to use some ice magic against the water demon. [19:07] The bahnshee? [19:07] banshee [19:08] oh yes, thats right [19:08] well, go right ahead and research por whatever she needs to do [19:08] She's finished. That's what she was doing earlier. [19:08] Ah yes [19:08] Kasana's ice plan [19:08] *** GM sets mode: +o alamark [19:09] oh, ok. so she has finished the spell and everything? [19:09] She has finished researching the spell, yes. [19:09] * kasin sighs [19:09] well, I guess we could do that straight away [19:09] although Kasin is due back in two days... [19:10] I seem to recall making plans for that battle... you guys were discussing contingencies... [19:11] I didn't think we were going to go straight away [19:11] (Sophie has crashed) [19:11] (I've told her to use the irc client I use - hers is very unstable) [19:11] No, I don't think you were planning to go right away. Too much planning still to do. [19:11] if everyone wants to, thats fine however [19:12] Kasana doesn't want to do it until things are worked out. You'll most likely only get one shot. [19:12] * kasin nods [19:15] *** alamarl has joined #rpg2 [19:15] someone kick me off please [19:15] *** alamark was kicked by kasin (alamark) [19:15] exactly [19:15] *** kasin sets mode: +o alamarl [19:15] how do I change my nick? [19:16] No, I don't think you were planning to go right away. Too much planning still to do. [19:16] if everyone wants to, thats fine however [19:16] Kasana doesn't want to do it until things are worked out. You'll most likely only get one shot. [19:16] * kasin nods [19:16] ok, so we...plan then [19:16] What things need to be worked out? [19:17] what everyone is going to do, what the conjurer might do, that sought of thing [19:17] Kasana wants someone to use a Wish (spell or item) to help her spell affect the demon. Also you need to decide what to do with it when it's trapped and who will attack the pirates. [19:17] how about we ignore the pirates? [19:17] until afterwards [19:18] they aren't a threat [19:18] if we have to battle on the ground, then we will have to deal with them [19:18] Well, she really means the conjurer and any pirates who happen to be guarding him. [19:18] ok then, I can talk out the pirates quickly, but would be better attacking the conjurer [19:18] Kasin should be able to take care of those [19:19] OK, presumably Alamark and Kasana are going after the demon. [19:19] Kasin is going after the conjurer. [19:19] yep [19:19] Do you want Beorn and Bruin along? Korvic? Anyone else? [19:19] maybe Reben against the pirates? [19:20] Reben can hold them off, yes. [19:20] Reben and Korvic against the pirates, Beorn and Kasin against the conjurer. Could do with a spellcaster there too. [19:20] Problem is, it may not be holding them off that we need, but cuttting through them quickly to get to the conjurer [19:21] in which case, Kasin will be there anyway, going for the conjurer, so between them and the bears, they should take care of them quickly enough [19:21] How about the pirates/conjuere group stay together until the conjurer is located? [19:22] OK, Orbit will stay home and provide communication. [19:22] Flame is willing to help against the pirates. [19:22] How about we summon a whole lot of food? [19:22] ? [19:22] It's weakness is it's need foer food, why not try and slow it down by tempting it with whatever it eats? [19:23] hmm, thats a good idea. Assuming the food is acceptable to us morally of course. [19:23] In massive quantities of course/ [19:23] People? [19:23] yes, pirates and conjurer group stay together [19:23] thats what I was hoping it wouldn't be [19:23] Well, Mitsumi? Divination to find out it's diet [19:24] ok, everyone has a job [19:24] You don't really know what it eats. [19:24] (Mitsumi will do a divination.) [19:24] the anti-pirates group shouldn't get too far afield I think [19:24] Mitsumi: It eats living beings. Any sort of living beings, but preferably intelligent ones. [19:24] *** GM changes topic to 'Making the PLAN' [19:25] oh, ok, not an option then really [19:25] Not really. [19:26] *** GM sets mode: +st [19:26] How about we summon huge quantities of fish or something? [19:26] Make it irresitible [19:26] irresistable [19:27] Bruin (the only one with the right spells) will refuse. [19:27] yes, it isn't nice [19:27] Why? [19:28] It probably eats fish now? [19:28] Would you prefer humanoids? [19:29] Bruin: Calling animals is only done so they can help. I'm not asking them to come to their deaths. [19:29] Bruin: If they were fighting it would be a different thing. [19:29] How can they possibly fight something that big? [19:30] thats the point [19:30] Bruin nods. [19:30] Just like you wouldn't ask 1000 peasants to stand in a field to slow a dragon down - by being eaten. You might give them bows though and ask them to shoot. [19:30] Well, how else do you propose to distract it until Kasana finishes her spell? [19:31] (That was Bruin) [19:31] Bruin: Show it a pretty female demon? How am I supposed to know? [19:31] It's unique [19:32] * kasin makes a face [19:32] Well, I was making a suggestion. If you don't like mine, maybe you should propose an alternative [19:32] I don't know either [19:33] Kasana: My spell actually only takes a round to cast... [19:33] should be ok then [19:35] now, we will have to stop the conjurer from getting into his portal and going to the underwater area [19:35] since he may be able to free the demon [19:35] this may prove difficult, since he is likely to be inside when we arrive [19:35] Mitsumi: How about you swim someone down to the underwater area while you're attacking? Or dimension door or teleport? [19:36] yes, possible [19:36] To engage him? [19:37] Mitsumi: To surprise him if he comes through the portal. [19:37] Well, a spellcaster is needed with the anti-conjurer group, so Bruin can't go [19:37] (to Beorn) I'm counting you as a warrior here (smiles) [19:38] Beorn: Good. [19:38] I could go to the underwater area [19:38] Mitsumi: I could go I suppose... [19:38] Kasana (to Alamark) I may need your help with the demon. [19:38] Faie enough [19:38] fair [19:39] (nods to M) yes, but by yourself? [19:40] I wouldn't think that was a good idea [19:40] Speaking of which, where do you intend to be? [19:40] M: I can keep a spellcaster busy in melee for a short while. Are there guards down there? [19:40] Korvic: I could go? [19:40] Orbit: Why don't you send Jade down to collapse that bubble of his? [19:40] Jade: (to orbit) I'd get wet! Yuck! [19:41] (said to whom? Mitsumi?) [19:41] (yes) [19:41] (To M) not that I saw [19:42] M: Well, I wasn't really planning on going. I'm not great against armed soldiers, and there won't be much time for divinations in battle. [19:42] the bubble would help us more that it hurts him however - he was able to go through the water, presumably with water breathing [19:42] (to M) nods [19:43] Jade (to O) Yeah, see! [19:43] Orbit pokes his tongue out at Jade. Flame grins. [19:44] * kasin sighs [19:44] Now children.... [19:44] :) [19:45] (change your name Sophie? [19:45] M: I don't see a problem with dealing with any pirates. So we're really just wanting to stop the conjurer getting to the demon, right? [19:45] yes [19:45] OOC: how? [19:45] M: So we want spells like Slow, Fumble, Web, etc... which really means a mage. [19:46] and killing the conjurer, because that is the best way to make sure the conjurer doesn't get the demon out [19:46] yes, we do [19:46] M: So who tells Allandrak? [19:46] we also need to move the demon somewhere else afterwards, and keep an eye on it, possibly for a very long time [19:46] * kasin shakes her head [19:46] Not me! [19:46] I'm not going to ask her [19:48] Renik: She's not going to be asked. That was the whole reason she accepted the position as court mage. [19:48] M: We do need another mage, Renik. And it _is_ for the good of Letnor. [19:48] * kasin nods [19:48] Yes, we need another mage in general I would think. [19:48] Simon? [19:48] Sometimes it seems hard to find any mages around this place at all. (gestures at the castle in general) [19:49] * kasin nods to Alamark [19:50] Kasana: Hey, only 'cause you don't let me in often. [19:50] And did anyone do anything about the situation other than me? [19:50] perhaps Simon - although I don't think he would be interested [19:50] (ie. the academy) [19:50] * kasin nods to Kasana [19:50] Well, there is an issue with that [19:50] two issues really [19:50] I think he would either be flattered or offended [19:50] Withe Kasana or the academy? [19:51] Renik: We do need another mage. Hmm... could we hire a trustworthy one in Waymeet? [19:51] (was that to me sophie?) [19:51] perhaps [19:52] M: I don't like the idea of Waymeet. Too easy to draw unwanted attention. [19:52] What we need is a mage with no personality, who likes to research but not to much, who likes to fight but not to much, and who is loyal. [19:52] Bruin: Umm... I know a mage. [19:52] Seems unlikely to find such a person, unless we make a mage-golem [19:52] you do? [19:53] Bruin: Yeah. He's a warrior-mage. Fairly odd, but nice enough. And totally loyal. [19:53] Bruin: Not as powerful as you lot though. [19:53] Totally loyal to whom? [19:54] Sounds interesting. I guess we continue on the plan of sucking whole continents into the party (grins) [19:54] Bruin: To whoever he decides his friends are. Me, for one. And Beorn. [19:54] Beorn: You mean 'shroom? He's still around? [19:54] Bruin: Yeah. At least he was. [19:55] Beorn: Hmm.. he's fun. [19:55] Orbit: Oh-oh. [19:55] * kasin looks grim [19:55] Fun huh? [19:55] Beorn: Yeah. [19:56] Bruin: (looking at Kasin) He's ... well, different. Says weird things and all. Acts a bit strange. Not impolite or anything (glancing at Beorn)... [19:56] not mushroom by any chance? [19:57] * alamarl sighs [19:57] a mage of the magic mushroom kind? [19:57] Beorn: He tried to call himself "Doom" at one point - back when he got fireball... [19:57] doom. I see. [19:57] Beorn: ...and yeah, then he found some magic mushrooms and I renamed him. [19:58] Bruin: (to Beorn) Just make sure you don't call him that. He'll get annoyed again. [19:58] Beorn nods, sighing. [19:59] so, what does he prefer to be called? [20:00] Bruin: His name is Teyol. I don't know what he's currently calling himself though. He gets bored with his name regularly. [20:00] Orbit hides his head under a wing. [20:00] I not sure about this [20:00] Kasana: For once I agree with her. [20:01] Bruin: Hey, it was only a suggestion. [20:02] Thnaks for the sugestion, it is appreciated [20:02] Is he really that wild and random? [20:02] Mitsumi: I could see if someone from my order is willing to help? It may take a while for someone to get here though. [20:03] Hannes other window? [20:03] * kasin nods [20:03] Bruin: Not really. He doesn't like rules much but doesn't break them just for the heck of it. Mainly he just likes wandering around outdoors and talking with animals. [20:03] Well, thats ok I suppose. [20:04] * kasin looks around at everyone [20:04] Bruin: He does get bored easily though. Tends to wander off into the woods if nothing is happening for a few days. Hmm... sorta like me. [20:04] Opinions? [20:04] Mitsumi: We could meet him, I guess? [20:04] Renik: At the very least meeting him would be interesting. [20:05] ?? [20:05] Beorn: I can show him the brewery. [20:05] He sounds ok [20:06] mage on tap [20:06] * kasin grins [20:06] Beorn laughs loudly. [20:07] Bruin: So should we go and find him then? [20:07] yes, ok [20:07] I have to go and pick up some others too. Not sure how to do that yet actuall [20:08] Bruin: OK. Let me know when someone can get me home. It might take a few days to find him though. [20:08] * kasin nods [20:08] I think I'll require a planeshift from someone [20:08] * kasin looks at Mitsumi [20:09] Mitsumi: To where? And do you know the fork? [20:09] to here [20:09] I don't know any forks, never bothered, since the spell is too powerful for me [20:10] Mitsumi: Well, I can do a Shift to here. So I guess I'll come along then. Where are we going? [20:10] back to where I come from [20:11] Mitsumi: Ah... sounds interesting. [20:11] We can astral back there. Viv knows the colour pool, so we can teleport to it in the astral [20:11] Kasana mutters something. [20:11] should be quick enough [20:11] Mitsumi: Fair enough. [20:11] Although we have have to stay for a little while to discuss matters with them, find out who is going, that kind of thing [20:12] We probably should leave tomorrow [20:12] Mitsumi: Staying there a while will give me a little time to look around. No problems. [20:12] I won't be going if you don't mind [20:12] I thought only M and I would go. Well, plus the crew of course [20:13] We (gestures at her weapons and Shotan) are a one woman adventuring party [20:13] * kasin smiles [20:13] so, break for a while, meet up again soon? [20:13] Bruin: Don't suppose you want to give me a lift home first? Like I said, it might take a few days? [20:13] Viv: Hmm... don't know 'bout that. [20:14] (Viv was to Brion?) [20:14] (not clear) [20:15] Was that to me Viv? [20:15] Viv: Yeah. [20:16] Viv: For completeness you should say a one woman, one horse and multiple weapons party. Or? I want at least a mention. [20:16] Thats why I said it the way I said it. One woman. [20:17] Hence also the "we" and "party" [20:17] Viv: (mutters something about lawyers) [20:18] I didn't mean to offend you Viv, you are a valued member [20:19] Viv: Yeah, alright. Let's get on with the getting people so we can get down to the smiting shall we? [20:19] ok then [20:19] (what shall we do now? the bit with K+M?) [20:20] Beorn: I like smiting. (grins) [20:20] (Unless there is anything else to do first?) [20:20] (Sophie?) [20:21] I guess it can wait [20:22] (waiting for Hannes to answer the chat request...) [20:22] (I accepted but got a "unable to connect" in response. Try query.)

Msglog [ON] [21:05] * kasin waits for Hannes to return...

Hmm.... [21:06] I'm back too.. [21:06] Suspicious? As in stealing cars or doing strange things to each other? [21:07] outide carpark or ICHR one? [21:07] AFAIK, they were hanging aroundf on of the emergency exits [21:07] ICHR one [21:07] which one? [21:07] the exit between the staff carpark and the visitor one [21:07] I'll show you later [21:07] I'll go and have a look in a minute [21:07] brb [21:16] *** GM has quit IRC (Read error to GM[j32.mri32.jaring.my]: Connection reset by peer) [21:16] *** GM has joined #rpg2 [21:18] * alamarl is away since 9:17:54 PM - automagically set away after 10 min idling. Msglog [ON] [21:20] * alamarl is back [21:20] back [21:29] Almost done. [21:30] BTW, our sysadmin has barred user friendly! Can't read it from work anymore! :( [21:31] Uf specifically? [21:31] UF [21:31] Why? [21:31] Yep. [21:31] Must have had a lot of students reading it I guess. *shrug* [21:32] that is what caches are for! [21:32] No sense of humour [21:32] Exactly [21:32] you _want_ people to read the same thing. it stays in the cache, no dramas [21:32] I'll talk to him about it. [21:34] otherwise ppl read other things, and your cache isn't as effective - assuming (s)he is using a cache of course [21:34] I assume so. [21:40] OK... the next morning Kasin and Mitsumi return. Bearing Mornites even... [21:41] one man in his 60s, three in their late teens, one in his 30s [21:41] (take Pr8 to see Alamark/Flame) [21:42] Uh-oh [21:42] Flame will be with Orbit and Jade - quite possibly with Alamark and Kasana too. [21:42] Hmmm ok [21:42] OOC: 3 in their late teens - bad news! :) [21:42] (speaking Karasshan) [21:42] (yes, didn't realise that until I typed that just then :) [21:42] (didn't realise Pr8 was in his late teens...oh well) [21:43] :) [21:43] (rats :) [21:43] OOC: I assume you mean a level 8 Priest? [21:43] (no) [21:43] (priest number 8) [21:43] OOC: Prat? [21:43] Ah [21:43] (I haven't named them.) [21:43] (oops, Pr9) [21:43] (anyway) [21:43] Flame, I have someone I'd like for you to meet [21:44] This is priest9 [21:44] Flame looks up. [21:44] Flame: Yeah? Hi. [21:44] (K) Pr9, this is flame (gestures at flame) [21:44] Flame bobs his head. [21:44] P9: (K) Umm... a dragon? [21:44] (L) Pr9 appears to start fires when he is angry, spontaneously [21:44] (K) yes, a dragon. a friendly one. [21:45] Flame: Hmm... [21:45] (K) sometimes very friendly [21:45] Orbit: Yes, he has psionics. Quite strong. [21:45] (L) I was thinking that you might know something or be able to help [21:45] Flame: Hey, cool. Can I have him as a familiar? [21:45] Jade glares at Flame. Orbit grins. [21:45] * alamarl laughs out loud [21:45] You'll have to excuse Flame [21:45] * kasin sighs [21:45] Orbit: We can train him. That will make him safer. [21:45] Flame, be serious [21:46] * alamarl chuckles [21:46] (to O, in L) Please [21:46] Kasana: Safer? With Flames training? Hmm... [21:46] (to Kasana) I was also hoping that Pr9 would rub off on him too... [21:46] O: Leave it to us. Flame will behave himself ... won't he? [21:47] Flame glares at Orbit, then drops his gaze. [21:47] Kasana: We can hope. [21:47] Jade: (to K) Don't get your hopes up. Flame has thick scales. [21:47] * alamarl lays a hand on Flame and Orbit [21:47] OK guys, that's enough [21:48] (K) and this is Alamark, a person who would probably be good at herding cats [21:48] (K) Oh, you should refer to him formally as Lord Protector, less formally as lord, and informally as Alamark. [21:48] P9 bows towards Alamark, and then performs a rather more courtly bow towards Kasana. [21:49] (K) thats Kasana, a slightly evil mage [21:49] He'll bow again towards Alamark, more deeply this time. [21:49] Herding cats? [21:49] P9 will look at you, surprised. [21:49] (K) yes, cats. They are rather cat like don't you think? [21:49] P9: (K) (to K) Do we kill her? [21:49] P9 has dropped a hand to his sword. [21:49] OOC: It is Kasin who is saying this? [21:50] (K) Only slightly, mainly in an annoying sense. We don't kill her, because her actions lead to good outcomes [21:50] OOC: And who are like cats? [21:50] OOC The dragons [21:50] (yes it is, and yes it is) [21:50] Let's not have this discussion now, please [21:50] * alamarl mutters "herding cats" [21:50] P9 (K) MY apologies. [21:51] P9 is looking a little stunned. [21:51] (K) No problem, I've had the impulse more than once [21:51] (K) (Introductions, plus titles for everyone) [21:51] (K) since he won't be a "party member" but will be around more than the other trainees [21:51] (oops, that was ooc, not K) [21:51] Introducing Renik will give the Mornites a shock. The old one will nearly fall over. [21:51] why? [21:51] (A king with a "K"!) [21:51] :) [21:52] They will have trouble with his name. [21:52] :) [21:53] OOC: What is Kasin (K) supposed to mean? Kasinik? [21:53] (Your old language.) [21:54] (Karasshan) [21:54] (as destinct from L, Letnorian, and E, English) [21:55] Ah [21:56] (grin: "don't mind the beholder...") [21:56] (Do you want to describe the other Mornites to Sophie?) [21:56] ("Shotan, Viv and Elenil you have already met :) [21:56] Pr1: 60s, frail. [21:56] Pr7: Mid 30s, carries a bow [21:57] Pr8: early twenties, naive [21:57] Pr9: late teens, very disciplined [21:57] Pa3: late teens, star-struck [21:57] (accurate?) [21:58] Yep, fairly. Although naive is a bit of an understatement for Pr8. [21:58] OOC: Pa = paladin? [21:58] (yes) [21:58] One of his more endearing traits: anyone who is not outright evil if obviously good. Therefore they don't lie, are always helpful, etc... [21:59] (introduce other ppl too, like Girak (hmmm, didn't think of that), etc) [21:59] And yes, he _would_ buy a bridge if you offered one to him. Assuming he could scrape up the cash. [22:00] OK... the whole spiel. [22:01] Renik's name will confuse them. Kasana will confuse them greatly. The beholder will be a real shock. [22:01] (oh dear. You think it a bargain too. A true innocent by the sounds of it) [22:01] :) [22:01] (Yep. And honoured to be able to help you by buying the bridge so your mother can get her operation.) [22:01] the castle as a whole will be shock, plus all that steel around [22:01] :) [22:02] Yes, definitely. [22:02] OK, those guys will take a while to settle in. Mitsumi will take them under her wing and teach them letnorian. [22:03] poo Pa3 and Pr8, and I hope Pa1 doesn't have a heart attack [22:04] ("yeah, that field over there contains the legions of demons which attacked us last year") [22:04] "And those are emissaries of the gods of Order. Yeah, they serve us..." [22:04] (L): OK, remind me why they're here again? [22:04] (For comic relief?) [22:04] (L) good experience for them mainly [22:04] :) [22:04] (I will assume L from now on) [22:05] Oh yes, is Kasin giving them the grand tour personally. [22:05] plus one of them can teach at the temple [22:05] ummm, yes [22:05] Ah... then they'll get even more of a shock... [22:05] since they can't speak to many other people yet. Besides, this is temple business, not secular business [22:05] why is that? [22:06] Where are your guardians again? One on Girak, one in Temple square...one at each gate was it? [22:06] yes [22:06] And the others? [22:07] (actually, assuming there is now 3 gates...) [22:07] don't knwo, didn't think about it [22:07] suggestions? Sophie? [22:07] 2 to go... [22:07] palace for one? [22:07] Suggestions: One at the Gate (castle/palace, one with Renik) [22:07] sounds great [22:08] OOC: thinking [22:09] Ditto [22:09] What are you going to tell them about all those guardians? [22:09] How many were there originally? [22:09] (7) [22:09] 7 [22:09] A gift from Corlan [22:09] (and they were replaced) [22:09] ? [22:09] (sounds good) [22:09] (why? do they go crazy at the sight of them?) [22:10] Are you going to tell them about their capabilities? [22:10] just say "thats one of the guardians" [22:11] unless they ask for more information [22:11] or otherwise react strangely [22:11] Well, initially they'll be Crystal = Morn... so the fact that they come from Order will be a surprise. [22:11] In other words, they'll be thinking "Wow, emissaries of Morn", and will probably ask if they are. [22:12] then alamark responds with "a gift from corlan" presumably [22:12] (the emissary has already left :) [22:13] *nod* And the Guardian will actually turn his head to look at Alamark. (ie it moves!) [22:13] :) [22:13] (hmmmm, it salutes too doesn't it?) [22:14] (Yes. That's all they ever do, unless ordered to do otherwise.) [22:14] (i.e. turning a head is actually unusual, not only for the Mornites) [22:14] They have occasionally spoken, eg, the attack by the emissary [22:14] (well, we don't exactly ask them to do much generally) [22:15] They speak when spoken to, or when something falls under their orders. [22:15] as the way it should be. they don't really need to go and stretch their legs and take a leak [22:15] :) [22:16] anything else they act strangely over? [22:17] The Mornites? Fairly much everything. "That commoner has a steel shovel over his shoulder!", "Is that a human? (Beorn)" "You talk!?! (Shotan)", etc... [22:18] true, true. I can start to imagine Kasin at 16, being brought here. She would be falling over herlself gawking at all the strangeness [22:19] Yep [22:19] OOC: Have any of them asked to be Kasin's squire yet? [22:19] They aren't too impressed by the palace though. [22:19] I guess we sought them out as best we can - part of the reason for the tour by people who know the language and can hopefully remember the customs [22:19] I recall some of the customs were fairly primtive [22:19] Yep. [22:20] (don't throw your bones in front of the baron's table, throw them behind you. don't your sleeve, use the tablecloth, thats what it's for" type of stuff) [22:20] :) [22:20] * alamarl sighs [22:21] OK, so they get shown around and then left in Mitsumi's care. [22:21] yep [22:21] ok, what next? [22:21] (Bed.) [22:23] (drats) [22:23] (oh well) [22:23] Actually, why don't you meet the mage first. That shouldn't take too long... [22:23] ok [22:24] 'shroom? [22:24] (Umm... am I still connected?) [22:25] yes [22:25] Yes, 'shroom. [22:25] should we call him 'shroom? would that offend him? [22:25] (sophie has crashed) [22:26] OK... waiting. [22:26] easy to forget how far K+A+R have come [22:26] Yep. [22:27] heh, our former "mentor" (well, mission provider) now works "for" us! [22:27] Yep. [22:27] *** alamarl has quit IRC (Write error, closing link) [22:27] BTW, want to OP me? [22:27] *** kasin sets mode: +o GM [22:28] *** alamark has joined #rpg2 [22:29] the last thing I saw was about would he be offended if we called him 'shroom? [22:29] *** kasin sets mode: +o alamark [22:29] (there was no reposnse to that) [22:29] ok [22:30] (anyway, lets meet 'shroom) [22:30] Bruin: Call him whatever he currently wants to be called. (shrugs) or Teyol. [22:30] (Is someone going to send Bruin home to get Teyol?) [22:31] (thats right) [22:31] (I assume so) [22:32] (OK, are you going to do anything in the few days he'll be away?) [22:32] Just continue as before [22:33] Mitsumi will have to go with him of course, to bring them all back. [22:33] They will return after three days. [22:34] Teyol is a tall, rangy fellow. Dressed in woodsman's garb. Carries a large dagger and a longsword as well as a shortbow and quiver. [22:34] He looks to be around 30ish. [22:34] * kasin nods [22:34] Teyol: Hey guys, well met. Call me Wilder. [22:35] OOC: (bad german accent) Interestink.... [22:35] OK [22:35] (Behind his back, Bruin shrugs.) [22:35] OOC: Joan Wilder... :) [22:35] Hello Wilder [22:36] * kasin smiles (at Bruin) [22:36] Wilder looks at Kasin and blinks a few times. [22:36] Wilder: (to K) You'd be the paladin, then, eh? [22:37] Greetings Wilder [22:37] (He'll offer his hand to shake) [22:37] OOC: BTW, what language are we speaking? [22:37] Yes, I am [22:37] Wilder will currently be speaking Letnorian actually. No accent... :) [22:38] :) [22:38] You have come to check out the place, see if it is suitable? [22:38] Wilder will do the rounds, shaking hands enthusiastically. [22:39] Wilder: Umm, yeah something like that. Bruin says you guys are fun to hang around. And relatively eco. [22:39] ecofriendly? [22:39] fun I suppose, in a demon-bashing way [22:39] Wilder: Yep, got it in one. [22:39] OOC: This is to be the mage on tap, right? [22:40] Wilder: Demon-bashing is fun, sure. [22:40] (Yes) [22:40] OOC: Rather rangerish, isn't he? [22:40] (If you say so.) [22:41] So Wilder, any questions? [22:41] Wilder: Yeah, lots. But I guess most of 'em will sort themselves out. [22:41] W: Is there anything urgent I should be preparing for? [22:42] We have ourselves a little vermin problem, of the demonic kind. Actually it's not little since it can demolish whole villages, but anyway... [22:42] Well, we will be fighting a conjurer, some pirates, and an unkillable demon... [22:42] W: Whoa, seriously bad karma. [22:43] W: Do we have a plan, or do we just go in blazing? [22:43] We have a plan [22:43] Bruin said you are a mage? [22:44] W: Yeppers. [22:44] Are you a specialist? [22:44] a combat mage by the looks? [22:45] W: Specialist? Umm... sorta. I'm what we call a preserver back home. Nature mage. [22:46] preserver? interesting [22:46] does that mean there are evil defilers? [22:46] * alamark sighs [22:46] W: All defilers are evil. Period. [22:46] Okay.... [22:46] What is a defiler? [22:47] W: Well, I draw energy from nature. Slow-like, so I don't damage anything. Defilers take quickly and destroy stuff. [22:47] * kasin nods [22:47] They seem...stupid. Like most evil really. [22:47] W: When you see circles of dead land where nothing will grow, you know you have a defiler infestation. Bad karma them dudes. [22:48] Dudes? [22:48] W: Well, defiling is quicker. Not easier, but ... seductive in a way. [22:48] W: (to Alamark) Yeah, the defilers. [22:48] seduction may be the right term for it I guess. [22:48] Like ice magic? [22:49] W: Ice magic? What's wrong with Ice magic? [22:49] See? [22:49] W looks around blankly. [22:49] Do you use ice-orientated spells at all, Wilder? [22:49] W: Of course. I do all sortsa nature stuff. Ice is winter, and that's nature. [22:50] hmmmmm [22:50] pardon my asking, but do you follow Lyca? [22:50] Well, you may cast your spells in that way I suppose [22:50] W: Mind you, you gotta watch ice... [22:50] W pauses. [22:50] OOC: Uh-oh [22:51] W (to A) Yes, but I'm not a priest. bruin converted me yonks ago. [22:51] * alamark laughs out loud [22:51] * alamark spluuters [22:51] Bruin grins. [22:51] splutters [22:51] * alamark says between laughing, sorry but these guys keep telling me ice is evil [22:52] OK, explain that one then [22:52] Why do you have to watch ice? [22:52] W: Evil? Nah, no more than a sword is evil. It's stuff you gotta watch though. Almost as bad as fire. [22:52] Renik splutters. [22:52] W: Now fire gets outta control real quick. [22:52] W: You just gotta be careful, that's all. [22:53] what does ice do? [22:53] W: Kills plants. Cover plants in ice out of season and their dead as. Not good. [22:54] W: Course these sorta things aren't really evil. Just dangerous. Not like stuff like necromancy. [22:54] * kasin nods [22:54] * alamark guffaws [22:54] Ah the paradoxes [22:54] Necromancy as a concept isn't actually evil, there is priestly necromancy [22:55] Wizardry? /me chuckles [22:55] defining necromancy as "to do with life forces" of course [22:55] W: (to K) Yeah, there's white and black nercomancy. White is fine. Black is killable. [22:55] * kasin nods [22:55] no pun intended I assume [22:56] Grey necromancy? [22:56] * alamark giggles [22:56] W: No such thing. It's just stuff that's not seen as black by some poor sod. [22:56] W: Sorta like defiling. Seductive. [22:56] * alamark laughs harder [22:56] W: (to A) Hey man, what're you on? [22:56] you seem very merry this morning Alamark [22:57] Beorn starts humming "We wish you a merry christmas" [22:57] Things may seem unclear to you Alamark, or even random, but they are quite clearcut [22:58] Oh, really? [22:58] W: Yeah, when it gets down to it, it's what in yer heart that matters. Not labels that people use. [22:58] * alamark chuckles [22:59] * kasin nods [22:59] quite correct [22:59] Agreed. And I do appreciate the seductive nature in general, but for someone who threatened to challeneg me if I used one more ice-based spell, Kasin has kindly agreed to reconsider the matter [22:59] * alamark laughs [22:59] At least for now *giggle* [23:00] Ah, hypocrisy. We're full of it... [23:00] * kasin frowns [23:00] W: Anyway, why don't you lot tell me about your demon infestation? Maybe I can help. I _like_ demons. No moral dilemas. [23:00] * alamark guffaws [23:00] (data dump) [23:01] Ah, well you see *chuckle* [23:01] You do it, Kasin [23:01] (I'm happy with a data dump) [23:01] (Besides, I really should be getting to bed.) :( [23:01] The Mistress of Contradiction here can explain _everything_, can't you Kasin? [23:01] * alamark sobers up [23:02] OOC: Are we in the castle ATM? [23:02] I assume so [23:02] W: (to A) Hey, be nice to the lady. Being a paladin is enough to drive anyone batty. (to K) No insult intended. [23:02] Hummph [23:03] W (to K) Well, following all those rules. How often do they stop you doing things you think you should, eh? [23:03] Not to mention those around them... [23:03] * alamark smirks [23:03] If you will recall, I approved this for this one time, given the circumstances. [23:03] Bruin will say something to Wilder in another language. [23:03] I disagreed with you earlier about using ice magic because you would complain that it was the only thing you had left memorised, even after I had suggested that you not memorise it in the first place and solve the problem! [23:04] (to W) I do disobey the rules from time to time, but only when I am sure. Thats what the rules do, force me to be sure [23:04] Wilder: Hey guys, if you want to have a spat I'll wait outside. Can you point me towards the demons? [23:04] Exactly my point, my dear Kasin! [23:04] W (to K) Fair enough. If it works for you. [23:04] * alamark collapseslaughing [23:05] * kasin sighs [23:05] Bruin will lead Wilder off to show him the brewery... [23:05] ..and thus the session ends for another night. [23:06] xp? [23:06] favour? [23:06] 16k [23:06] 5 [23:07] coolness [23:07] Me? [23:07] I've been going to be really early recently. 10:30 or so. I'm feeling the results of that habit now - but at least I don't have to drive home. [23:07] (or should I say, hot :) [23:07] Sorry Alamark, no favor. [23:07] Ah, bugger [23:07] No, noe of that either. [23:07] ..none.. [23:08] Anyway, good night. Will e-mail tomorrow. [23:08] * GM waves. [23:08] * kasin waves [23:08] OKey dokey [23:08] * alamark waves [23:08] up in smokey? [23:08] *** GM has quit IRC (Leaving) [23:08] *** Disconnected Session Close: Tue Jul 25 23:08:34 2000
