Session 13 Transcript
Session Start (youzhao): Sat May 28 21:17:54 2005 *** Jason has joined the chat. Jason: where's J? Dan: Waiyaddo no Dan rolled 6 10-sided dice: 8 8 2 4 6 8 Justin: //roll-sides10-dice10 Justin: blue spoonman rolled 10 10-sided dice: 4 2 2 5 7 1 7 5 5 2 Justin: :( Jason: Mayham66 rolled 8 10-sided dice: 1 7 8 10 9 9 4 1 Jason: me like these dice Justin: ;_; Justin: //roll-sides10-dice10 Justin: blue spoonman rolled 10 10-sided dice: 9 3 9 2 8 6 6 9 7 10 Justin: much better *** Jay has joined the chat. Dan: There we go. Justin: *queues up the YOU ZHAO theme song* Dan: Waiyaddo no Dan rolled 1 10-sided die: 5 Dan: Whoooh! No Paradox! Jay: heh Justin: I dunno what's scarier: Justin: my dad playing Willie Nelson Justin: or me knowing the song Jason: so are you going to roll your own dice and use the virtual web as your ST screen? Dan: No one is even curious who didn't get Paradox. :-( Jay: They are equal in the scary department Jay: ME! Jason: who? Jason: who Justin: I know it wasn't me Jason: ic Justin: or it would've been like three successes on one die Dan: What is Wu-Go doing about a week after the HQ gets hit? Jason: was it me from talking to the spiders? Justin: dan would have rolled an 11 Justin: or a 10, and spent a willpower Jason: that reminds me of Spinal Tap Justin: our dice go to eleven. Jay: Wu-Go would probably have gone looking for answers in the loom and tried to find some info on the guy through his few contacts in heaven I suppose Jason: so what is the You-Zhao theme song? Justin: I think it was the Escaflowne theme song in a funny hat Dan: There is a buzzing inside his robes. Dan: Almost as though Wu-Go had a cell phone. Justin: or a pager! Justin: what a gigolo Dan: But wait -- there are no cell phones in Yu-Shan! Jason: I would be asking the pattern spiders and use my spies to locate this mug Jay: *Stops and stares at the buzzing and reaches under the robes to search out the pest* Jay: (There is a college with something nifty like one) Dan: It is a torn strip of fine silk. Jason: you would know that Jay: *Reads it most curious. * Dan: It appears to be a letter from Izumi. Jason: hold on getting pizza from door Jay: (heh, I think I'm the only veteran online RPer) Jay: She's the missing kid right?) Dan: (he, and yeah ~_~) Justin: (yeah, yeah, you and your "out-of-character" parenthetics) Jay: (Like I know :P) Jason: back Jay: *Reads it while heading back to the others* Justin: (Izumi sneezes.) Justin: (and feels vaguely insulted.) Justin: (the kitten has declared a cute little fuzzy jihad against the keyboard, so if I type anything really strange I blame it on her) Dan: "...not sure where we are. Not sure what they'll do with us. Some kind of ward keeping Ms. Obol from leaving." Dan: Per + Awareness for Wu-Go Jay: harperus rolled 6 10-sided dice: 4 2 3 9 8 2 Jay: roll-sides10-dice6 Jay: hmm how does that work? Jason: "//roll-sides10-dice#" J Jay: harperus rolled 6 10-sided dice: 6 8 7 3 4 6 Dan: The "ink" flakes off the silk at your touch - it's probably blood. Justin: (fucking psycho kid.) Jay: (I think the di roller hates me. //roll-sides10-dice6 is what I put and nothing happens. ) Justin: (we're seeing you roll dice if it makes you feel any better.) Dan: (you rolled it once...) Justin: (you rolled two successes on the first and two on the second.) Jason: (maybe it does...maybe it does) Jay: ((ahh wierd so I can't see my suxxesses then, right)) Dan: So. Jay: *Takes it to the conventions HQ, careful not to ruin it further* Guess what I got? Nice little letter from Izumi. Jason: what a good child to write home...does he say where he is? Justin: ((I imagine Havoc's off in his dojo, for whomever cares. ^^)) *** Jay has left the chat. *** Jay has been invited to the group chat. Jason: probably *** Jay has joined the chat. Jay: Sadly no, but it seems to be writtin in blood so he can't be all that bad off *Giving a slight grin.* Jason: he is resourceful Jason: (so did I get any word from the Pattern Spiders or what?) Dan: Nope! They're being pretty useless. Jay: Should I send him a reply or wait do you think? Wheres Havoc and Traveler? Dan: However... both roll Int + Bureaucracy Jason: (as usual) Jason: Mayham66 rolled 5 10-sided dice: 5 2 3 2 10 Jay: harperus rolled 5 10-sided dice: 5 7 8 6 1 Dan: All Astrology is receipted and stored in the Forbidding Manse's records. Jason: (and Izumi did a Astrology?) Dan: Wu-Go would recognize the effect as Superior-Entreating Memorial Style, a resplendent effect of the Rising Smoke. Jason: check out the records then Jay: I'm going to send him a reply in the mean time Jason: probably good idea Dan: You can write on the letter in green ink and send it back free of charge. Justin: "Return To Sender" Justin: ((*cough*)) Jay: *Which he does, something short and sweet* "Problem is being worked on. Not much longer, promiss. " Dan: So. The problem is being worked on.... Jay: *Waits for Hino to do is thing* Jason: I check the records Dan: Int + Investigation. Jason: Mayham66 rolled 8 10-sided dice: 9 6 9 3 1 9 8 4 Jay: *Wu-Go also ops to send for Havoc incase something turns up in their favor* Dan: Searching through the miles of dusty shelves, you find the slip amidst the few other Astrological petitions he's filed. Jason: does it have location of Orgin? Dan: It's a very sparse petition, with neither cosignatures nor countersignatures. Dan: It gives you something to go on. Dan: Also, it's something specific to look up with the pattern spiders. Jason: i would believe it...any useful information though Jason: I guess I'll check with the spiders and see if they can actually help this time Dan: It has the "name" of the pattern spider that filed it. Jason: crazy....I will track down the pattern spider to talk to it Dan: It is probably on duty at the Loom. Dan: Your Efficient Secretary could probably look up its location for you. Jason: aren't they always...I will check the loom Jason: I'll summon him then and ask for the location Dan: He vanishes and reappears a moment later. You translate his chittering to mean that he is, in fact, at the Loom. Jason: okay then, I head on over Justin: Havoc shows up at HQ a bit after getting the message from Wu-Go. Jay: So, Izumi sent me a message a little while ago, written in blood. Lovely no? Hino's off at the Forbidding Mans's records to see if he can find where it came from. Jay: With luck, soon we'll have a place we can look around and maybe find those two. *Showing Havoc a copied version of Izumi's words.* Jason: I ask around on the loom for the Fat One Dan: T_T Dan: The pattern spider is not G0-T0! Dan: You're directed to the shift manager for the college of the Rising Smoke. Jason: I look for AUTO_CH_THON Dan: He in turn leaps off of the balcony and runs up along a thread to fetch his subordinate. Dan: All spider-ish, obviously. Jason: okay Justin: (( ^_^ )) Jason: i stand and wait Dan: A diminutive pattern spider lands on the railing and chitters at you. Justin: Havoc nods at the update, having nothing terribly informed to say on the matter. Dan: << what do you need, Exalt? >> Jason: I wish for the location that request "insert correct number" originated from Dan: It thinks for a few moments. Dan: It chitters a set of coordinates. Dan: Essentially longitude and lattitude. Dan: << I remember. It was in Creation, but not. Unusual. >> Dan: << Is that all, Exalt? >> Jason: write it down on Ninja (said in cool way) notebook Dan: ~_~ Jason: a sanctum? Dan: << No. As I said, in Creation. Or at least... within it. Material. Real. Alien. >> Dan: It sounds impatient. Dan: << Must I repeat myself further, Exalt? The Loom does not weave itself. >> Jason: alright, thank you for your time.... Jason: head back to HQ Dan: It leaps/floats back to the loom and climbs back into it. Jason: I fly a cloud back to the gate and use it to return to HQ Dan: *nods* Justin: I imagine Havoc and Wu-Go are waiting for you in whatever's left of the ... room ... we ... chill ... in. Jason: Find Havoc and WuGo, "Have the location....where's traveler?" Dan: The rubble has been cleared from HQ and the bodies removed. It's depressingly quiet, as most of the personnel vacancies haven't been filled. Jay: *Sitting behind a desk with his feet proped on it. Sipping on something, waiting* About time you get back, thought you got lost. Justin: Havoc leans against a wall nearby. Jason: the employee lounge Dan: Eh? Jason: "You talk to pattern spiders and get back quickly....I have a headache" Justin: "Traveler is off doing whatever it is he does when he doesn't see fit to perform his duties." Jay: They arn't that bad. Quick and to the point is all they want I'm sure. They are rather busy. So what you find out? Jason: sit down on half busted chair casually Dan: Hino thinks he hears a faint, friendly blandishment from the vicinity of your head, but isn't sure. Dan: his head, rather Jay: So he's in a closet with a pole of jade and some .....never mind Jason: "Not again" Jason: Goes to desk and finds medicine for head, and comes back Justin: "You said you had a location?" Jay: Maybe some tea would clear your head? Try a massage? I'm sure traveler could offer you one. We'll just blind fold him and tell him a thing or two. You'll love it. Jason: take out ninja notebook and say coordinates, "Something unusual about it as well, the spider was most unuseful on that part" Justin: Havoc glances in Wu-Go's direction. "What, you want to go looking for him?" Jason: "I felt if I questioned it more, be would do something to my thread, those things are tempramental" Jay: Hey, just trying to help Hino out a bit. *Smileing ever so slightly* Besides, we'll get this done faster without him I'm afraid. He's not exactly fit for this project. Justin: "Is he fit for *any* project?" Dan: Owwww Justin: Havoc might be joking, but he probably isn't. Jason: "we aren't trying to seduce the guy, true" Jay: *Wu-go's about to say something, then thinks better on that. Seems to actauly try to come up with something then shrugs* I'll get back to you on that. Jason: "Fair enough, though how are we going to get there.....we can't fly hte airship?" Jason: (we is the coordinates for anyways?) Dan: They're a location far in the North. Dan: Near the Pole of Air. Jason: "Guess we'll have to take a gate" Jason: "Let's get going then" Justin: Havoc will leave the armor with Gyaku before heading out. Jay: *Wu-Go gets up, finishes his drink and heads out. * Dan: Gyaku expresses a wish to come along. Dan: And pushes his glasses up his snout. Justin: Havoc raises an eyebrow at him. Jason: "why not" Justin: "If you wish," he shrugs. Jay: *Gives a slight tilt of his had* I don't see any reason not to have him along. Dan: ...strangely enough, so does Minako. Dan: Who overhears you talking with Gyaku. Jason: raises eyebrow at her Justin: Havoc nods his assent. Dan: Waiyaddo no Dan rolled 2 10-sided dice: 7 7 Dan: Whooh! Justin: o_o Dan: She steels her resolve. Justin: ((*ahem* o_o)) Jason: "interesting" Jay: Well, come along then. Dan: "I know I haven't learned how to fight very well, but... at least my anima can help you, right?" Jason: "true" Dan: Gyaku excuses himself to get ready. Justin: Havoc goes off to change out of the armor Jason: "let's go then, everyone meet up at the gate" Jason: Hino always ready, heads to gate and sits, waiting for the others to arrive Jay: *Heads off to the gate at his normal easy pace. Once there he goes over his PTR's and then sits down. Fanning himself with his hat* Dan: Going to grab anyone else before you go? Jason: Hino sharpens blades Jason: (Not unless they ask to come) Jay: (No reason to drag people to their deaths this time. Its going to have to be something they are willing to risk. Least to Wu Go) Justin: Havoc shows up next in his robes, looking as severe as ever Jason: (If say the serentity blabs to the other students while getting ready) Dan: She's quieter than usual. Dan: Easton isn't around, but you're pretty sure he'd want to come. Jason: (true, but could be backup in case of others then just the big baddy) Dan: ...for, strangely enough, the opposite reason than Minako. Jay: *Looks to the girl, PTR in hand* Are you sure you want to come? Justin: (( Well, if his Battles Senses start tingling I'm sure he'll come running. )) Jason: "You ready" Dan: "Y-yes, Master Wu-Go..." Jason: "You do know the charm defense of shining joy correct" Dan: "Yes, Master." Jason: "Good, make sure you use it" Jay: "May I ask you why then? You do know this guy's a troublesome sort. Might not be comming back. "Said smilng with his head tilted down, his hat covering his eyes* Justin: Havoc snorts. Dan: "I... I know. It's just... If there's anything I can do to help Izumi and Koku, I have to! Even if it's just a little!" Dan: She has that "arguing will be useless" look the young ladies get. Jason: "Well so be it, where is Gyaku?" Dan: Like the devil, Gyaku shows up at the sound of his name. Dan: He's wearing a gleaming black suit of armor, and has a massive armored gauntlet on one arm. Jason: "Finally, lets go" and Hino steps through the gate Dan: "Ready to go, sirs?" Dan: He pushes up his glasses. Jason: Hino is already through the gate Justin: Havoc's through Jay: *Waits to be the last through. * Dan: Unless otherwise noted, Gyaku and Minako will be following you guys along. Jason: So we take the yellow lane to the out gate Jason: since we all can't take the clouds Jason: do we get out of Yu-Shan without incident Dan: ...we'll assume that you guys grabbed appropriate papers from Nuran... Jason: of course Dan: ...and rocket through Yu-Shan at insanely high speeds. Dan: The gates are actually relatively close, although thousands of leagues away in Creation. Dan: You exit into cool, crisp air. (think air conditioning) Dan: The room is manned by two lion dogs who bow solemnly as you enter and ask for your papers. Jason: I immediatly put arms around bodyand shake a little Dan: Uh-oh. Jay: *Hands over the papers, giving a nod to the creatures* Jason: "why can't we have to go to the South, why always the North?" Jay: Because fate hates you Hino. Dan: The room is dominated by huge picture windows that show a snow-encrusted city stretching outwards, and beyond it tundra as far as the eye can see. Dan: You realize the cool air is being heated. Dan: Gyaku looks almost as uncomfortable as Hino, for what it's worth. Justin: Havoc asks the shivering ninja how far they are from their destination. Jason: (how far are we?) Dan: One of the lion dogs directs you to take fur-lined boots and thick parkas before you leave. Dan: (about 25 miles) Jay: Come on Hino, can't freeze yet. Besides, a ninja with his knees chattering together is gonna be little to no use for us. Dan: Minako giggles nervously. Jay: *looks over at minako, tilting his head slightly* Jason: Glaring, Hino takes the boots and parka, his ninja pajamas turn from black to white, "To the north 25 miles." Justin: Havoc takes the clothing and wordlessly puts it on over what he's wearing. Jay: See, fired up a bit. Better? Jason: (is the gate in a city or in the tundra?" Dan: The lion dog that checked your papers pads over and sits down, joints scraping stonily. Dan: "I recommend renting a yeddim. Look outside the north gates." Jason: exit the room Jay: *Gets dressed also. Following who ever seems to want to lead this time around* Dan: Minako thanks him, pats him on the head, and follows you out. Dan: Havoc turns around and has a moment of mild terror when he sees Gyaku. Dan: The huge, fur-covered form stirs up memories... but they retreat as he grasps at them. Justin: ! Dan: ^_^ Dan: Waiyaddo no Dan rolled 2 10-sided dice: 8 6 Jason: Guess we head through the streets to the North Gate Dan: Half an hour later, the five of you are riding in style aboard a rented yeddim. Dan: Specifically, in a leathery howdah-like structure mounted on its back. Justin: "This," Havoc says with a distasteful expression on his face, "is why we keep Traveler around." Dan: "Rrrrrrrrrmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm," says the yeddim. Jason: to the North! Jay: *Grinning he can't help it * I'm gonna have to let him know he was praised. Jason: "Yep" Dan: *idly wonders how fast a yeddim would take you* Dan: *counts on fingers* Jason: Hino huddles in corner with the parka covering him Dan: It probably takes you guys 2-3 hours to reach your destination, but it's obvious some time before then. Justin: ? Dan: It's in the foothills of mountain range bordering the snowswept plains you've been traveling over. Dan: Steep, jagged, and forbidding. Dan: As you get close, the question comes up... Dan: ...where exactly should you be going? Jason: Of course, its the freakin North Jason: how precise are the coordinates? Justin: I activate my Battles Senses. Dan: Precise. How precise is Hino's GPS? Jay: (Thinks Hino might need new batteries) Dan: Havoc knows. Jason: (no i don't, do i?) Jason: I spend a mote Dan: The call of battle floats down the slopes... Dan: Bah! Jason: Secret Senses Dan: Anyone else want to chip in? ~_~ Jay: *hes afraid to his his endings senses...but does so any how* Dan: You guys get the mental equivalent of a yellow arrow indicating your objective. Jason: fine I won't then Dan: No, it's fine. :-) Jason: we go there then Dan: You each feel a tug, and know each step you need to take. Jason: i have the yeddim step with fate Dan: You wind up among boulders and sharp icy projections... Dan: ...step with fate? Dan: ...and find yourselves at the mouth of a cavern. Jason: I jump down and meld with the shadows of the cavern Justin: I parry it before it eats us. Jay: BOOM! Dan: The wind howls around you, and there is a cliff not to far behind you. Dan: (the path to the cave is still wide enough for the yeddim, but you will have to leave him at the cave entrance) Jay: *Watches the scenory * Rather lovely I think. Lots of whtie but the rocks giving contrast...nice. Jason: don't want him to go in anyway, could get messy Dan: "Mmmrrrrrrrmmmmmmmmmmmm," agrees the yeddim. Justin: Havoc strides heedlessly into the cavern. Jason: I slide along the shadows a step behind hiom Dan: Minako tries her best to be sneaky as well. Dan: Everyone trying to be stealthy, roll it! Manipulation + Stealth Justin: I laugh at your "stealth!" Dan: Waiyaddo no Dan rolled 4 10-sided dice: 5 10 3 3 Jay: *Wu-Go just follows not bothering with the stealth. Besides someone has to be the target* Jason: spend 3 motes so my diff is now 4 Jason: Mayham66 rolled 10 10-sided dice: 7 1 4 5 6 8 8 10 5 7 Dan: Hino is stealthier than Minako. Jason: actually I will have my form up so Jason: Mayham66 rolled 15 10-sided dice: 3 10 3 5 2 7 10 2 8 9 3 4 6 2 5 Dan: -_-() Dan: You guys travel down the cave until the light from the entrance grows dim... and the floor flattens out. Dan: Literally. Dan: You find yourselves in a clearly artificial passageway. Justin: Havoc watches out for acid jets. Dan: -_-() Justin: ^^ Dan: You don't have to go too much farther before the passageway opens on a huge inner chamber. Dan: Do any of you have Craft (Architecture) or is that a dumb question? Justin: T_T Dan: Int + Occult, then Justin: //roll-sides10-dice5 Justin: blue spoonman rolled 5 10-sided dice: 3 7 9 2 10 Jason: who would waste exp on that? Dan: If you want to make manses... Jay: harperus rolled 6 10-sided dice: 1 9 1 4 3 6 Dan: Waiyaddo no Dan rolled 4 10-sided dice: 2 1 5 6 Dan: Waiyaddo no Dan rolled 9 10-sided dice: 7 8 6 10 3 7 6 2 9 Dan: Gyaku gets 6 success. Minako botches. Jason: Mayham66 rolled 6 10-sided dice: 3 10 2 7 6 3 Dan: Havoc, Gyaku, and Hino immediately recognize it as the interior of a manse. Dan: Wu-Go recognizes it as a First Age construction. Dan: (not that that's saying much right now) Dan: It's a vast open area, shaped like a pyramid with the top sliced off (kinda trapezoidal cross section, y'know?)... Justin: What's in it? Dan: ...ramps and walkways entirely made of ice criss-cross in front and above, anchored to vast stone support pillars. Justin: Oh. Jason: air manse, no doubt Dan: There appears to be an inner structure in the center. Justin: or a very cold water manse. Dan: That howling wind I mentioned before? Justin: Ah, yes. Dan: Within the chamber, it coalesces into a melody Dan: A meandering, never-ending, improvised song. Jason: that's pretty cool Dan: Light filters in from above, through ice-filled shafts. Dan: And a familiar figure is slouching on top of the inner structure, gnawing on a leg of meat. Jay: You know, I almost wouldn't mind a place like this. Jason: way too cold Jason: mr monster? Justin: Havoc waits for the figure to notice them. Dan: You can all see your breath, and your clothes are frosting over. Dan: Mr. Monster indeed. Justin: Havoc'll go ahead and activate DoSJ Justin: on general principle Jay: *Watches Havoc, removing his PTRs* Dan: "Should I use my anima?" Minako whispers nervously. Jason: Hino mutters about the cold Jason: fromteh shadows a cold whispers answers yes Justin: and then Havoc'll activate his anima power. Justin: just to get the point across. Jason: I'll activate DoSJ and Shadow Style at this point Dan: Despite being a good 50 yards or so away, at least, his chewing slows and stops. Jason: for the DoSJ //roll-sides10-dice Jay: *Waits to activate anything. * Dan: He tosses the leg aside and stands up. Justin: VBoS Form Jason: blah nm Jason: I'm going to steal his DEX + MA now Dan: Minako activates Optimistic Security Practice and Defense of Shining Joy. Dan: Okay. Did you steal his Dex + MA last session? Jason: Mayham66 rolled 9 10-sided dice: 10 6 2 10 4 8 6 1 6 Jason: I steal 5 of them Dan: I'm just letting you know, if you did, then you would have noticed that it had no apparent effect. Jason: yes Jason: oh Dan: ^_^ Jason: then I steal from his DEX+BRAWL Dan: Okay! Dan: Remember to commit the motes. Jay: *Activates 4 magical mat form Justin: Joy in Adversity Dan: 2m each for 10 motes, right? Jason: Yeah I know Jason: yeah Dan: You guys are too far away to get in striking distance this turn, I believe... Jay: How far? Dan: You guys are somewhat above him, with an icy bridge extending in front of you. Dan: About 10 yards up and 60 yards away Justin: so Havoc's already spent all his peripheral Jay: Wu-Go only needs to be within 25 yards of the guy) Justin: I think Jason: your glowing! Dan: All his peripheral?! Dan: Roll initiative... Jason: how many auto successes do we get from the Serenity's banner? Dan: Once she activates it, 3 Jason: Mayham66 rolled 1 10-sided die: 8 Justin: no, okay Justin: just 26 of it Jay: *Activates his anima banner, yay extra damage* Justin: //roll-sides10-dice1 Justin: blue spoonman rolled 1 10-sided die: 6 Dan: Waiyaddo no Dan rolled 3 10-sided dice: 9 10 2 Jay: harperus rolled 1 10-sided die: 2 Jason: 22 Justin: 34 Jay: (hmm what did i get with that roll? I toggled that online thing and it still doesn't show Jason: 2 Jay: damn 15 Dan: Havoc wins initiative, surprisingly enough. Justin: ;-) Dan: What's the range on the threads? Justin: Ess x 10 Dan: o_O Justin: so I can't reach him, in any case Justin: actually... Dan: What do you mean you can't reach him? Dan: What's your movement speed? Justin: Ah, yes. Justin: Quite a bit, then. Justin: I think I'll activate Dance of the Hungry Spider instead, though. Dan: *nods* Dan: Reflexive, idnit? Justin: Aye. Dan: Remember that you can run on air. Justin: That's what I intend to do. ^_^ Dan: If you dematerialize, you can't rematerialize until your next initiative. Justin: can I dematerialize after I thwack him? Dan: Yes. Dan: It's reflexive. Dan: Can you reach him? Justin: then I will run over and thwack him a couple of times. Justin: with the Gem, yes, I think so. Dan: 35 yards... + 17... puts you at 52. Dan: Just to let you know. Dan: You can hold your action, of course... Justin: yeah, that's a great idea. Dan: Did you blow BotBM? Justin: nope Dan: ...where'd all your motes go, then? Justin: Defense of Shining Joy, Violet Bier of Sorrows Form, Joy in Adversity, Dance of the Hungry Spider, and my anima power Justin: which is 10 frigging motes Dan: *nods* Dan: The anima power isn't committed. Dan: That is my ruling! Justin: that's helpful. Dan: Are you holding your action, dematerializing, moving, or what? Justin: I guess I'll just rush at him as far as I can go before dematerializing Justin: ^^ Dan: k! Justin: and not worry about activating persistants if I need to for the rest of the fight ^_^ Jason: who's next? Dan: Herr Monster Dan: Who hurtles through the air like a cannonball - at Havoc! Dan: You still have an action left - what do you do? Justin: (he's at -17 to hit me, incidentally.) Dan: Mwah? Justin: Dance of the Hungry Spider Dan: Oh! Dan: Wait Justin: people trying to whack me take half my initiative as a penalty Dan: You used Dance of the Hungry Spider, not Unnatural Many-Step Stride! Dan: @_@ Dan: Havoc has Dance of the Hungry Spider? o_O Justin: aye Dan: Guh! Justin: I'm not immaterial or anything, now that I think about it. ^_^ Dan: Or running on air. -_-() Justin: I can still jump. Dan: Right. Jason: that's for ranged attacks isn't it? Justin: it's for everything Justin: it's a different penalty with ranged though Dan: It's for anything that has to hit him before he -- uh-oh. Jason: that's one fucked up charm yo Dan: Ah, ne'er mind. Justin: it is when I still have Secrets of Future Strife boosting my initiative, yes. Dan: Very well! Dan: (it'd be cooler with PAoC Form!) Justin: and I plan to use Flight of Mercury as soon as I am able. >.> Justin: so I'll be dodging his meek little attempt to hit me Dan: He's at -21 dice, eh? Dan: Er Dan: 21 dice Dan: -17 Dan: Right? Justin: yeah Dan: 5! Whooh! Justin: //roll-sides10-dice16 Justin: blue spoonman rolled 15 10-sided dice: 10 6 7 2 1 7 1 10 8 6 1 10 5 1 9 Justin: only 10 successes on the dodge. :p Dan: Waiyaddo no Dan rolled 9 10-sided dice: 8 5 6 3 4 3 3 2 9 Dan: ~_~ Justin: Havoc would make Kasumi proud. Dan: Does he have PotVW up? Justin: no, but he does have Defense of Shining Joy and Joy in Adversity up Justin: *rolls Havoc's Essence for Joy in Adversity* Justin: //roll-sides10-dice4 Justin: blue spoonman rolled 4 10-sided dice: 4 6 8 8 Justin: four motes back! woo! Dan: Seeing that the fight has started and stealth has gone out the window Minako spends 10 motes to activate her anima power. Dan: ...but Havoc isn't close enough to benefit. Justin: I don't think he needs it right at the moment anyway. Dan: Hino's up! Jason: How far is he from the rest of us now? Dan: Ah. Dan: He flies past Havoc a fair distance... Dan: *thinks* Dan: ...he's on the bridge, about 35 yards away from you guys. Dan: Justin, don't forget Havoc's movement. Dan: How're you using it? Dan: Oh! Dan: X_X Justin: he's spent for the turn, 'member? Dan: Didn't he use a DoSJ dodge? Justin: Yes Justin: ...Havoc hasn't actually used his action yet. Justin: ^_^ Dan: btw, you can also move an extra 10 yards when attacking Dan: *forgot* Dan: No, wait... Dan: Yeah Justin: although I wasn't in range on my initiative tick anyway Dan: 2 x Dex for attack and defense. Dan: You can follow him should you choose. Dan: Or land.

Jason: and reading body language Jason: which would count for figuring out where the attack is coming from Dan: Which is why it's a higher difficulty to parry or dodge Dan: It does not make the attack undetectable, just hard to place.

Dan: ... Dan: ...so you only needed 9? Justin: yeah. Justin: my...phone is ringing Justin: brb Justin: back Dan: Gyaku spins nimbly on one foot, slams his spiked tail into Herr Monster's face, then shifts the other direction, and slams him entirely through the bridge with a final blow.

Dan: Jason could tell you about at least one sharp thing waiting to be used. Jason: you could yell to me for a knife Jason: actually, the guy might still have mine embedded in him Dan: Bingo! Dan: There should be one embedded in the ice or somewhere else convenient, and maybe one in him. Justin: mkay Justin: lemme know when it's my turn, then Dan: ...Jason, gonna roll that attack? Jason: alright, in a cold, angry voice, "It's time we end this." And my chain comes lashing out wrapping itself around her and crushing her.

Justin: ^^ Dan: It sprays out and freezes against the ice and stone. Dan: He falls, dying. Justin: Havoc will go ahead and finish him off. Dan: I'm getting a flashback to The Princess Bride, after Wesley kills the R.O.U.S. Justin: ? Dan: When he stands up, burned bloody and disheveled... walks over, picks up his sword... walks back, kills R.O.U.S. Justin: gotcha. ^^ Dan: He is dead. Jason: ah Dan: D-E-D-D Justin: I KILLED A NON-EXTRA! Dan: Whoooh! Justin: *dances* Justin: Havoc'll head over to help Hino now. ^_^; Dan: Gonna use your movement? Justin: Yeah. Dan: It'll get you about halfway. Justin: *nods* Jason: you know, I haven't killed a non-extra either Justin: I think we kind of want this other one alive x_x Dan: You know, you've both killed blood apes that weren't extras... Dan: You could just chop at her until she runs out of WP to fuel Shield of Mars with! Justin: blood apes don't count >_o Jason: I was just pointing out, you weren't the only one Dan: Or I could play Deus ex Machina.

Justin: oops. :-X Jason: so it goes away, even though I just do it and it stays for the rounds....exaslted has weird rules Dan: No, all non-Instant Charms can be voluntarily ended before their duration. Dan: She made you release it. Dan: The Charm makes someone make a single decision. Jason: which she forced me to do, which charm did she use? Dan: Force Decision Dan: Aptly named, eh? Justin: Jedi Mind Trick. Jason: you could use that charm to make someone not dodge, or something equally suicidle in battle? Justin: nothing suicidal Jason: what tree? Dan: Presence Dan: I'm not sure I'd let it cancel a dodge. Dan: They'd be like "Yeah, I'm not gonna dodge this one..." Dan: ...and then a moment later, go "holy crap! I need to dodge!" Dan: Maybe it'd give a penalty. Justin: anyway... Jason: ic Jason: who's first> Dan: It's good for either a) what the target it disposed to do anyway ( "you will sell me the antique china set you never liked anyway" ) or b) something that is instantaneous and they have no time for second thoughts about Dan: .... evil ninja girl Dan: She tries to end this, pronto.

Oh! Jason: chill? Dan: You only need to split it twice. Justin: Havoc will be there to catch her. ^_^ Justin: oh, nevermind, I thought she was going off the bridge Justin: carry on! Jason: ah, but I'm doing two squeezing attacks on her legs while in the air Dan: Hmm. Jason: I meant a bridge of ice, not a block Dan: Fair 'nuff Dan: That's how I interpreted it.

Jason: no point, I just sit on the bridge the rest of the fight Dan: ... Dan: See, this is exactly the kind of thing enemy mind control is supposed to do.

Jason: I have 10 without any tricks Dan: Then use tricks. *shrugs* Jason: That's what I'm doing, I'm not trying Jason: That's what I tried, and I failed Jason: so, I sit in the shadows as my third attack Dan: You do realize she blew WP and a full turn to end Blinding the Boar, right? Dan: ... Dan: Anyway. Dan: Hino, discontent with his neutralizing of a vastly superior foe, sulks. Havoc's turn.

Jason: Mayham66 rolled 5 10-sided dice: 4 7 8 7 8 Justin: I should have just taken the clinch and reversed it on her Jason: no, just at her, maybe in the hand Dan: You do realize you can use Sidereal Shell Games to just give yourself 5 Dex + MA dice, right? Jason: she dodge it or parry it? Dan: She dodges. Justin: //roll-sides10-dice4 Justin: blue spoonman rolled 4 10-sided dice: 4 4 2 9 Justin: I got a couple motes back. ^^ Jason: I have plenty of that dice....not sure if she does Dan: Waiyaddo no Dan rolled 15 10-sided dice: 5 9 4 3 7 8 8 9 5 9 1 3 7 7 4 Dan: Hino feels quite certain from watching her that she has at least Dext 5 Jason: well can't do nothing about it till next turn, and besides don't have the motes for it, not enough to get make it worth it Dan: Havoc's up.

Justin: that enough to incap her? Dan: Not quite. Dan: She wavers, though she keeps her feet. Justin: >_< Justin: would spending a willpower help? Justin: seriously, this is taking fucking forever Justin: x_x Dan: Ah, feck it. Justin: I have 1 willpower left. Dan: Well... Dan: She has 2. Dan: One more turn. Justin: how about being an angry Havoc and hissing at her to give the fuck up before he knocks her unconscious and lets Hino kill the fuck out of her? Dan: She'd probably roll Valor. Justin: Let's do that, then. ^_^ Dan: Waiyaddo no Dan rolled 5 10-sided dice: 5 7 2 3 6 Justin: by the way Justin: she lost a valor. Justin: :-) Dan: @_@ Dan: Waiyaddo no Dan rolled 4 10-sided dice: 5 1 7 1 Dan: She bleeds at you!

Dan: You don't lose any successes. Dan: She doesn't dodge. Jason: that's even worse Jason: Mayham66 rolled 15 10-sided dice: 5 1 4 5 10 3 7 5 8 9 4 8 5 5 8 Jason: 6 dam Justin: wonder if she has enough left for another Shield :p Dan: Waiyaddo no Dan rolled 15 10-sided dice: 3 2 1 8 8 6 6 4 2 7 7 1 9 7 10 Justin: oh geez Dan: Waiyaddo no Dan rolled 4 10-sided dice: 6 2 1 10 Dan: Havoc takes 1L Justin: x_x Dan: She takes 1L Justin: and falls unconscious? Dan: She drops to one knee, bleeding from a wound in her kneck. Jason: so now one takes any lethal Jason: no, not now Dan: (Her anima flares when she used SoM, obviously) Dan: She is officially at -4 Dan: Waiyaddo no Dan rolled 9 10-sided dice: 4 10 2 7 7 6 2 5 9 Dan: Waiyaddo no Dan rolled 15 10-sided dice: 3 5 6 1 1 1 4 2 8 1 2 6 8 1 2 Dan: Waiyaddo no Dan rolled 5 10-sided dice: 2 5 1 3 7 Justin: o_o Dan: ...

Jason: a lot probably...but how much? Justin: had Dan: 111, actually Justin: o_o Jason: at least you get them back Jason: wow Dan: She'd just spent her last WP and 5m of her last 8m on Shield of Mars, hoping to knock Havoc out. Justin: I get that mask off her Justin: who the hell is she? Jason: I burn the body of the stupid monster and think about doing the same to that fucking Sideral Dan: She looks... familiar. Dan: Despite the anima, she has no caste mark. Justin: I tend to the Sidereal while he does it and hope Hino doesn't kill her at some point when I'm not looking. ^_^ Justin: Familiar? Dan: Roll... Perception + Socialize! Justin: spending my last willpower for the hell of it Justin: //roll-sides10-dice4 Justin: blue spoonman rolled 4 10-sided dice: 3 4 3 6 Justin: one success! Justin: -_- Dan: ~_~ Justin: fucking dice hate me Dan: She's hot. Justin: Rowr! Dan: Don't think too much farther. Justin: can I use that willpower for a virtue instead? -_- Dan: Her hair is odd - smooth black with a couple misplaced streaks of blonde. Dan: Sure! Justin: which would apply? Dan: Compassion. Justin: //roll-sides10-dice3 Justin: blue spoonman rolled 3 10-sided dice: 9 9 6 Justin: two successes! Jason: i search the place for anything interesting Dan: She reminds you a little of Mebla Dul... Justin: ... Justin: *clickity-click* Justin: ..... Dan: Waiyaddo no Dan rolled 7 10-sided dice: 9 9 9 10 7 9 1 Dan: o_O Justin: o_o Dan: Minako hobbles up and looks at her. Dan: "Why, Master Havoc!" she exclaims. "She looks like you!" Dan: >.> Jason: she had a freakin half caste too....jesus Justin: Havoc drips blood. Jason: and this one was Havocs Justin: I'm kinda glad you didn't kill her now. ^_^ Dan: Actually Dan: You'd know that she's far more powerful than a half-caste could be. Justin: y'think? Dan: The screen wavers! Dan: Ripples and swims! Justin: oh shit, am I having a flashback? Dan: Sort of. Justin: %_% Dan: I'm too tired to do a proper one. Jason: true, she had more than 3 Essence, more than 7 or 8 even Justin: feel free to generalize, then. Dan: You remember an... acorn. Justin: an acorn? Dan: Something about cheating the rules of Exaltation. Justin: o_O Jason: what a cheater Dan: You remember her telling you that she was horrified and had destroyed the abomination. Dan: You remember her... lying. Justin: Mmm. Dan: Int + Occult! Justin: //roll-sides10-dice5 Justin: blue spoonman rolled 5 10-sided dice: 3 6 2 4 5 Justin: nothin'. Dan: I'm assuming Havoc is all broody and doesn't voice any of this? Justin: yeah Justin: 2 3 4 5 6 Justin: I got a straight Justin: does that give me any successes? Dan: Hino hears Minako say that the unconscious chick looks like Havoc. Dan: Sadly, it's beaten by two of a kind. Justin: damnit Justin: but I don't have enough motes for harmony of blows! Jason: hmmm, Hino will do some research later Jason: on this matter, but for now, he continous to search for anything interesting Justin: he should probably see if he can't find the people we came here to save Dan: Wu-Go reappears promptly with Ms. Obol and Izumi. Justin: oh, well, that'll do it. Dan: Izumi looks somewhat the worse for wear, but he insists he's fine. Dan: Ms. Obol is pretty much fine. Jason: Since apparently I find nothin of interest I guess we head back Dan: You do find the manse's hearthstone. Justin: we can't leave without blowing the place up or something! Dan: -_-() Jason: none of the peeps had it on them? Justin: Havoc will look around, too Dan: For whatever reason, they did not. Justin: well Justin: nah Justin: maybe not Justin: he's busy brooding and whatnot Jason: what level manse is this? Dan: From the interior and the hearthstone, you'd guess 4... maybe even 5. Dan: Definitely Air-aspected. Jason: guess I'll take the hearthstone with us, for the locker' Dan: @_@ Dan: You get the impression that further detailed investigation might be worthwhile... Justin: I suppose we'll start hiking back, then Justin: ...or not. Dan: ...but you guys have better things to do right now. Justin: well, havoc certainly plans on checking it out at some point Justin: since this place might have some info about his past and that sort of thing Dan: *nods* Dan: The yeddim remains waiting outside. Dan: "mmmmrrrrrrrrmmmmmm," it says, with loving concern. Justin: Havoc will go ahead and carry the girl out to the yeddim Justin: get ready to go Jason: guess we head on out Justin: after recovering his daiklave, of course Dan: Of course. Justin: how long until she recovers? Dan: If you don't keep her unconscious, she should wake up on the way back. Dan: I think. Dan: *checks* Justin: alrighty Justin: Havoc doesn't keep her unconscious, he merely keeps a very close eye on her Justin: there's a good chance she'll wake up at swordpoint Dan: Ah, no Dan: It'll be a few hours. Dan: About the time you get back to Yu-Shan. Justin: I figured we were going to HQ Justin: oh Justin: we have to go through Yu-Shan to get to HQ Justin: dur Jason: have to go through yushan to get there Justin: yeah Justin: the waking up at swordpoint bit remains relevant, then :-) Dan: The lion dogs at the gate express their concern about the glowering young woman's intentions. Jason: prisoner Justin: Havoc assures them that she is being kept under control. Dan: "I see," says one of them gravely. "I am sure one of the celestial lions on duty would be glad to escort you." Dan: Meanwhile, Gyaku opens the gate. Justin: Why do I suddenly have a bad feeling about this? Dan: I dunno. Why do you? Justin: >_o Justin: I'm recalling the last time we tried escorting a prisoner through Yu Shan, I suppose. Dan: Don't be silly. Dan: ... Dan: Just go through the gate! Dan: ^_^ Justin: *does so* Dan: The celestial lions offer similar concerns. Dan: Mostly because of the shape the Sidereals are in. Jason: mention again that she is our prisoner that we are escorting to the Convention of the west Justin: Havoc assures them, through gritted teeth this time, that they do in fact have the young lady under control. Dan: The apologize and say that they meant no offense. Dan: The head lion shrugs and waves you by. Jason: hop in the gold lane and shot off Justin: vroom! Dan: Vroom! Dan: She complains that the cuffs hurt her wrists. Justin: She gets a glare in response. Jason: she gets two actually Justin: oh shti Justin: shit Dan: ? Justin: carry on ^^ Dan: ....? Justin: as in "Oh shit! Two glares is scarier than one!" Jason: guess we get to our exit gate Dan: You guys are at your gate before more than five minutes. Justin: head through back to HQ Jason: hop out and get out of Yu-Shan Dan: The celestial lions tense up when they see you, as a squad of beat up Sidereals is never a good thing. Dan: Similar song and dance, they wave you through. Dan: ...and you guys are in your beloved HQ. Dan: Or at least, most of it. Justin: is it any more wrecked than it was last time? Dan: Nah. Justin: Havoc will ask the girl at some point if she has a name. Dan: Gyaku express concerns about whether HQ has the facilities to hold someone that strong. Jason: that's good Dan: She is uncooperative. Jason: what is the strongest material a room is made of Justin: Havoc tells him that she'd like to hold her somewhere nearby for a little while, at least... Justin: ...since he has various questions that need answering. Dan: There might be parts that are made of jade, in full or part. Jason: "you have anyother siblings?" Justin: :p Dan: She remains uncooperative. Jason: should put her in one made of jade and I'll blow couple effect points to make it so she can't teleport in or out for a season or more Jason: in other words she doesn't answer? Dan: Yeah. Justin: I could just bring her to the dojo and have the fair folk help keep track of her :p Dan: Gyaku's concern is about how strong she may be without using any Essence. Jason: Like she'll do it Dan: Limiting her Charms doesn't do much good if she can kick the door off its hinges. Jason: "Well, she isn't being very cooperative, we could just slit her throat now and get it over with" Jason: comment is made loud enough for her to hear if she isn't right by him Justin: Havoc raises an eyebrow at her to see how she responds to that Dan: Izumi does not disagree. Dan: She maintains a stoic silence. Dan: Izumi thinks aloud that maybe a few weeks of brutal interrogation would give her a more positive attitude. Jason: it might Jason: also said aloud Jason: "Though drugs and pyschological torture can work well too" Dan: It's at about this time that Nuran shows up. Jason: "well you got my vote in the matter" Hino goes to office taking Izumi along, talking about a special study session Dan: ...good stopping point? Justin: what does Nuran have to say? Dan: *eyes bleary* Justin: fine by me :p Justin: give us lots of xp, dan. x_x Dan: He gives Izumi a pat on the shoulder and nods warmly to Ms. Obol, expressing his great joy at having them back safe. Jason: i guess....though its almost too late for sleep Justin: Havoc ruins the atmosphere! ^^ Dan: "...who is this girl?" Jason: so I'm going to schedule a special study session on the techniques of torture for the junior operatives Justin: "That remains to be determined," Havoc growls. Jason: she was helping the monsters of Mebla Dul though Dan: "Is she a possible threat?" he demands sharply. Justin: "Not at the moment." Jason: and has the ability to use our charms Jason: "As long as the cuffs stay on her and has 24-hr surveillence" Dan: "We don't have time to deal with her right now. I want her locked up and under guard, but we need to get the Convention in functioning condition again first and foremost." Dan: "We can decide what to do with her after she's stewed a bit." Jason: "We don't have the facilities to guard her right now" Justin: Havoc offers to keep an eye on her. Dan: He snaps, "then find someone who does. I don't care if she's Cecylene's niece, we can't afford to lose the progress we've made in the West." Jason: Hino waits for Nuran's response to Havoc's suggestion Dan: Nuran does not feel that one of the Convention's operative can be tied up with guard duty at a time like this. Dan: operatives, even Justin: "Then I can have Qienzhiahi tend to it." Jason: "Let's just put her in a prison in Yu-Shan for now then" Jason: "If she can keep her mind focused on it long enough" Dan: Nuran says he'll leave it at your discretion, as long as it does not in any way interfere with fixing the Convention. Jason: o Justin: Havoc nods. Jason: "We'll have to leave the cuffs on if we leave her with the Fair Folk" Jason: tells Havoc after Nuran walks off Jason: guess we'll leave it in your hands then Justin: Havoc nods and heads off to the dojo with the girl Dan: *nods* Dan: Let's cut it off there. Justin: okie doke Justin: xp? Dan: Am I feeling generous? Justin: oh yes Jason: freakin Medbla Dul Jason: sounds good Dan: 20xp sounds nice. Justin: ^^ Jason: indeed Dan: Haven't decided how much downtime. Jason: how much should I tell J? Dan: 3, + 5 for end of story Justin: does that 20 include the end of story? Dan: Yes. Justin: alrighty Justin: I think I will finish up the CMoS preforms ^^ Dan: Like I said, you may or may not have 2 months to do so. Justin: *nods* Dan: ...though Nest of Living Strands is nasty. Justin: oh jeez Justin: yeah it is Dan: Cumulative! T_T Dan: Especially if you have something that gives you a bonus to your MA Justin: combine that with BotBM Justin: yeah Dan: It's not an attack or parry, so BotBM doesn't apply Dan: :-p Justin: oh? Dan: Yeah. Dan: Of course, Sidereal Shell Games would. *laughs* Dan: I'm curious how effective it would be for Hino to use SSG to screw up every defensive tactic someone tries using. Justin: *nods* Justin: CMoS Form gives you Unnatural Many-Step and Dance of the Hungry Spider every turn for free x_x Dan: "He's dodging? I'll steal his dex + dodge. Fighting in Melee? Yoink. Using Shield of Mars? His Dex + Res is mine!" Justin: man I can't wait to get that frigging charm Dan: Yeah. You didn't know that? Justin: I knew it, I just didn't really know what those Charms did very well until just recently Dan: You realize that lets you use your hopping defense to escape into the air? Justin: yeeeup Dan: "I attack him." "I go upwards!" "I jump!" "I go farther upwards!" Dan: btw Dan: Those knives were ... *searches memory* Dan: Spd +5, Acc +4, +10L, Def +3 Dan: Or something. Dan: Including starmetal bonus. Justin: crazy Justin: I would probably have collected them when I collected, uh, her. Dan: That's what I figured. Dan: Note that knives are form weapons for both VBoS and CMoS Justin: anything particularly distinctive about 'em? Justin: yeah Dan: They're very light and wicked sharp. What more do you need? Justin: an "I BELONG TO:" sticker? Justin: :-) Dan: You mean, like being attuned to someone? :-p Justin: :p Dan: I'ma get breakfast. Justin: I'ma go to bed Justin: good game Justin: ttyl Session Close (youzhao): Sun May 29 07:24:12 2005
