---

You have just entered room "chat16712310273223864024."
willcoon has entered the room.
Moonsword134 has entered the room.
willcoon: hi!
Moonsword134: Evening.
FrivYeti: *waves*
DonovanTz has entered the room.
FrivYeti: How is everyone?
DonovanTz: at work!
willcoon: hehe
Wakoid2 has entered the room.
Moonsword134: Where is the Levitating Priest-King?
willcoon: doing okay
willcoon: yourself?
FrivYeti: HP is around - he went for a brief walk with his girl, but he swears up and down that he'll be back two minutes ago.
Moonsword134: ...
FrivYeti: While we wait - we have a slight problem. Pope already knows, so I'll jump ahead and tell you.
Moonsword134: Okay...
DonovanTz: oh lord, now what
willcoon: ?
FrivYeti: The problem is my tabletop group.
Wakoid2: mutant orangutans from outer space?
Moonsword134: ...yes?
FrivYeti: Specifically, my RL group has been meeting on Sunday nights, and now they can't.
Moonsword134: Keep going.
FrivYeti: Anyone care to guess what the only day in the bloody week that they're available is?
Moonsword134: *raises hand* Thursday?
FrivYeti: *claps* You get a cookie!
willcoon: moonsword is cheating
Moonsword134: Cynicism is not cheating.
willcoon: arguable
FrivYeti: So... is there another day of the week that WE are all available?
DonovanTz: whenever
Moonsword134: ...I'm _not_ available Tuesdays and Fridays.
Wakoid2: any but fridays
DonovanTz: my schedule is so bloody eratic
willcoon: hm
willcoon: wednesdays perhaps?
FrivYeti: *shakes head* I'm no good on Wednesday or Thursday.
Moonsword134: And on Wednesdays, we probably won't be able to start before 8:30 since I have class until 8.
Moonsword134: Monday is good for me.
FrivYeti: I know the Pope can't do Mondays, but if that's the only day, we'll just have to go without him.
Moonsword134: *palms forehead*
willcoon: i could probably do mondays.
willcoon: er
FrivYeti: We may have to.
Moonsword134: ...this campaign _is_ cursed.
willcoon: mhm
FrivYeti: Although... *thinks* He's only not around on Mondays because he needs to go to Peterborough to see his girlfriend. I don't know if she's there over the summer.
DonovanTz: alright folks, I'll be right back, I have to open a curtain, and then fly a candybar in from heaven
FrivYeti: Righto.
Moonsword134: ...huh?
willcoon: i imagine some of us will have different scheduling considerations during the summer
FrivYeti: *nods* It's certainly a possibility. My schedule doesn't change much, but most folks' do.
willcoon: hm
FrivYeti: So, we can generally agree that Monday's the only option for the game to continue.
willcoon: hm. sucks for the pope though.
FrivYeti: It is unfortunate.
FrivYeti: Hopefully, his GF will be in town for the summer and it won't be a problem. *fingers crossed*
Moonsword134: I stand by my earlier statement that this campaign is cursed.
Moonsword134: Hopefully.
Moonsword134: When does summer start for them?
FrivYeti: Pretty soon. Early May, IIRC.
Moonsword134: Well, that's not too bad, then.
FrivYeti: *wonders where he got to tonight*
willcoon: -_-
Moonsword134: ...maybe we can keep him on as a mascot.
Moonsword134: Y'know, make a little symbol of a Popemobile with a rocket attached to it?
willcoon: we'll need a foam costume of him for when he's not here
FrivYeti: I think I can get behind that.
FrivYeti: I wonder if they make Hot Wheels popemobiles?
Moonsword134: ...or we put someone's dog in a Pope-hat.
Moonsword134: And then tie a rocket to the dog.
willcoon: I've got a corgi back home, I think he could pull it off with the proper solemnity
FrivYeti: The rocket?
willcoon: though making him hover would be difficult, he's quite dense
Moonsword134: Put a harness on him, like you see on some dogs, and attach four rockets to the harness, pointing down.
FrivYeti: It does take a certain amount of solemnity to pull off having a rocket tied to you.
Moonsword134: Small ones, of course. Strictly low thrust.
willcoon: he's Edgar, after "Poe," so I think he might be able to do it
Moonsword134: We're trying to make him hover, not send him through the ceiling... and the floor above you... and then through the roof...
willcoon: hmm
willcoon: it could work, people
DonovanTz: now things are breaking and i need to fix them. stand by
DonovanTz: or start without me
willcoon: o-o
Moonsword134: Arrgh!
Moonsword134: Dang it!
FrivYeti: What's up?
Moonsword134: I was inputting equipment into Anathema and accidentally deleted a template instead of removing it.
Moonsword134: <_<
FrivYeti: Eep.
FrivYeti: Are those recoverable?
Moonsword134: Take a guess. >_>
Moonsword134: *starts inputting stats for all five kinds of reaper daiklaves again*
FrivYeti: Ouch.
willcoon: -__-
willcoon: you must have been standing too cloase to the Haven
Moonsword134: It's not too complex, just irritating that I did it.
FrivYeti: I'm going to give HP until 8:30 to get back, and then we begin sans him.
willcoon: he's probably off having boring sex
Moonsword134: Anyone else picked up MoEP: Lunars yet?
FrivYeti: Hell yes.
FrivYeti: *cackles*
Moonsword134: Heh.
FrivYeti: And finished it, this week.
Moonsword134: Hey, Friv, if you kill off Valeria, can I bring in a Lunar to replace her?
DonovanTz: In fact, if you wipe the party, run a lunars game set in your new wacky creation!
DonovanTz has left the room.
Moonsword134: ...here we go again.
FrivYeti: *cries*
FrivYeti: Moonsword: You can't in this game. There are no Lunars.
FrivYeti: *wink, wink*
Moonsword134: ...I'll do it man. I'll do it.
Moonsword134: I've kept characters alive before by threatening the GM with absurd concepts for replacements and I'll do it again!
FrivYeti: *laughs*
Moonsword134: My favorite is the warforged wearing a pimp suit I've threatened not one but two different Hero GMs with.
Moonsword134: I've got a template for them.
Moonsword134: All I need is "Psych Lim: dresses like a pimp _all the time_" and I'm good to go.
willcoon: -________________-
Moonsword134: I think I hurt him...
Moonsword134: Heh.
willcoon: how many points is that worth?
willcoon: or uh
willcoon: whatever currency warforged use
Moonsword134: In Hero?
willcoon: Hero, DnD, same thing, right?
Moonsword134: Err, no.
Moonsword134: Ever heard of Champions?
willcoon: er, in passing
Moonsword134: GURPS?
willcoon: jaja
willcoon: natch
Moonsword134: *palms forehead again*
FrivYeti: AAAAARRRGGGHHHH!!!!!!
Moonsword134: Hero is a point-build system that originated for playing superheroes.
FrivYeti: Donovan can't join the chat.
FrivYeti: He's trying to reboot his program.
willcoon: nono I have seen GURPS
willcoon: WAHT
Moonsword134: Hero is sort of like GURPS but different.
DonovanTz has entered the room.
FrivYeti: Hahah!
willcoon: ah
Moonsword134: *FrivYeti does the happy dance*
DonovanTz: v is for victory friends
willcoon: take that , TECHNOLOGY
Moonsword134: WC, shut it!
Moonsword134: Do not tempt the happy-fun-evil computers!
willcoon: WE DEFY YOU, O VENGEFUL GODS!
Moonsword134: They will do evil things to become happy again if you anger them!
DonovanTz: hopefully, nothing else will go wrong tonight.Thus far everything that could have gone wrong at my theater has done so
willcoon: ALL OF US
FrivYeti: And I hear HP downstairs.
Moonsword134: Has the stage collapsed?
willcoon: ESPECIALLY FRIV
FrivYeti: Oh noes! I am being defied!
DonovanTz: that would involve the earth collapsing, so now
DonovanTz: er, no
Moonsword134: Anyone had a heart attack on stage from the brightness of the lights?
willcoon: no, I'm just defying in your name
DonovanTz: not a theater problem
DonovanTz: that's an audience problem and not my responsibility
Moonsword134: Your computer spontaneously exploded because of the curse of the Scottish Play?
FrivYeti: So.... new happy-fun fact.
Moonsword134: Moonsword is a madman?
DonovanTz: my computer is also not directly related to theater, so we're goo there as well
FrivYeti: Apparantly, HP's girlfriend is not leaving Peterborough this summer.
Moonsword134: Oh.
FrivYeti: So he won't be able to make Mondays ever.
DonovanTz: my typing however, is now suffering the wrath
Moonsword134: *palms forehead*
FrivYeti: So, it looks like we are Popeless. :-(
Moonsword134: Steal his hat!
Moonsword134: I want the cool hat!
DonovanTz: was monday the only safe day?
Moonsword134: ;P
FrivYeti: I believe so, yeah.
Moonsword134: No... we teach his girlfriend to play Exalted and give her a Cynis Wood Aspect or something...
DonovanTz: I'm impressed we've made it this many sessions to be honest with you
willcoon: brrarrg
Moonsword134: And I was looking forward to verbal sparring with his character, too...
hoverpope has entered the room.
hoverpope: Hey guys, just stopping by to say sorry I can't do mondays, and Moonsword, get the hell away from my hat.
Moonsword134: *grabs the hat*
FrivYeti: So... what is our plan at this point?
Moonsword134: It's mine, it's MIN!
hoverpope: Good luck, man. It's welded on.
Moonsword134: On a more serious note, sorry to hear that, HP.
FrivYeti: Revert to the low player-count and hope we can all make it every week?
Moonsword134: *breaks out the acid*
Moonsword134: Sounds good to me.
hoverpope: It's ok, I guess; I haven't really had a chance to get truly emotionally involved yet.
hoverpope: *Is preparing himself by rubbing alkalis on every possible surface*
willcoon: excellent sidereal plan
Moonsword134: So... either I get the hat or I get to watch you foam all over?
FrivYeti: It's win-win!
Moonsword134: Where's the loss for me here, again?
hoverpope: That's right!
Moonsword134: *splashes the levatating priest-king with much acid*
hoverpope: *Is saved by hovering miracles*
FrivYeti: So, will you be joining us tonight, Pope? Or does Baran get eaten by hobgoblins right away, proving his fears quite grounded? ;)
Wakoid2: or did he miscast when he tried summoning his demons?
hoverpope: I can be in tonight, I guess.
Moonsword134: ...wait, what about teaching your girlfriend to play so that she can join in on the mad hijinks?
hoverpope: Not really her bag.
Moonsword134: ...rats, defeated again.
willcoon: (okay moony... steal her bag...)
Wakoid2: you should expect it by now
hoverpope: She'd be annoyed within minutes about the inherant ubermensch style racism of a setting wherein people are intrinsically better in their blood due to relation to god.
Moonsword134: ...wow.
DonovanTz: but in this case they actually are full of divine power...
Moonsword134: Uh, I don't think that's gonna help, actually.
willcoon: OH MAN
hoverpope: It might - she'd be good with the high compassion.
willcoon: yeah probably wouldn't be a good idea
willcoon: the temptation to play up the master-race thing might be too high
DonovanTz: The sun god said "Thou shalt kick ass in my name" and his avatar said, "Well shit, I'm going to need a bigger stick."
FrivYeti: Especially in a Dragon-Blooded game. ;)
Moonsword134: *holds up black jade warstaff*
hoverpope: And then the sun god said "Shit son, you're going to need four bigger sticks."
Moonsword134: Thanks, happy with the one I got.
Moonsword134: Especially after what happened to that poor snake last game.
hoverpope: You hit a snake?
hoverpope: Did it catch fire?
Moonsword134: "Hit" is an insufficient description.
FrivYeti: The snake's a plane now.
Moonsword134: Try "provided the pulped remains of its brain with a sunroof" instead.
willcoon: *headfloor*
hoverpope: That's a good hit, and a good lunar charm too.
DonovanTz: You didn't send it into orbit. Cranial annhilation is par for the exalted course.
FrivYeti: "Snake-brain sunroof prana?"
Moonsword134: Hey, I'm not the one who claimed I sent it on an unscheduled commuter flight!
Moonsword134: That was the hobgoblin that was the target for my next attack.
Moonsword134: >:)
Moonsword134: >-D
FrivYeti: No, no. The snake IS a plane. As in, it is a flat surface.
DonovanTz: speaking of which, are we still in combat or did we drop out?
Moonsword134: No, that would be if I had hit it again.
FrivYeti: We dropped out with the general pulping of the first twenty hobgoblins.
Moonsword134: Currently its head is brain-blood pudding in a skull bowl.
Moonsword134: ..wow, that's a really sick description now that I read it.
FrivYeti: Alright, shall we head IC to get some session in? :)
willcoon: you going to keep the skullbowl?
willcoon: arriigggtt!(h)
Moonsword134: No.
Moonsword134: It's clearly not tough enough.
Moonsword134: ((After all, it didn't stop my first attack, now did it? ;) ))
DonovanTz: sure why not? I'll be in and out as best I can manage
willcoon: that's the problem with keeping tokens of the enemies you've defeated...
FrivYeti: The party has successfully defeated the Fair Folk, along with providing a bit of support to the battle on the other side of the safe zone.
FrivYeti: Darting Lynx's soldiers, with the help of Baram's demons and Tiger's arrows, have held their own, and seeing that Nezini is 'safely' surrounded by humans, Kizen's troops have withdrawn.
Moonsword134: ((Safe. Heh.))
FrivYeti: Most of Nezini's oakmen are dead, but the ten survivors have formed up around her willow-carriage, clearly not sure how to react to you.
willcoon: Skein looks sidelong at Tiger, and raises an eyebrow.
hoverpope: Baran is mostly busy catching his breath and wiping copious amounts of sweat from his brow.
willcoon: "What do you think, Tiger? Do we want to approach..." he makes sure Lynx isn't nearby. "Or do we want to let our fearless leader handle it?"
Moonsword134: ((Where is Baran compared to the Nezini-mobile?))
hoverpope: ((I'll be three feet from Lynx, wherever that is.))
FrivYeti: Darting Lynx is still occupied with directing archers to launch volleys at retreating hobgoblins, and convincing men not to charge in pursuit. ((Baran is about 200 yards away at the moment, with the troops.))
hoverpope: ((Or that. That's good too.))
FrivYeti: ((Same answer, basically.))
Moonsword134: Valeria leans on her staff next to the other two. Diplomacy isn't her strong suit unless someone needs a big stick waved around. She speaks too softly.
Wakoid2: Errant Tiger keeps an arrow in hand, but more in case of the possibility of Kizen's forces returning. "She seems a bit occupied at the moment. It wouldn't hurt to get a word in first.
Wakoid2: Just to see how Nezini is faring, of course."
DonovanTz: ::Hailey checks the field for salvagable javelins and then she and Amarranth will form up near Tiger::
Moonsword134: ((..the fuck is going on out there? It sounds like a god-damned fireworks show.))
willcoon: ((Is Nezini doing anythign we can see?))
FrivYeti: ((Nope. The carriage is not moving at the moment. She might be waiting to see what you're doing...))
Moonsword134: ((...it is a fireworks show. I wonder why...))
Moonsword134: ((Sorry, when explosions start going off outside my window, I tend to get a bit jumpy.))
DonovanTz: ((it was patriot's day on monday))
willcoon: ((oo. ))
Moonsword134: ((Patriot's Day? Where? And if so, why are they lighting off fireworks _here_?))
willcoon: Skein composedly approaches Nezini's carriage, not looking as though he expects the plantmen to do anything other than step aside and allow him passage.
hoverpope: Baran saunters back over to the rest of the team, wondering what's going on.
Moonsword134: ((It's not anything special in Georgia...))
Moonsword134: ((Wait... battles at Lexington and Concord.))
Moonsword134: ((232 years ago. That's probably why.))
Moonsword134: ((And the Oklahoma City bombing 12 years ago... and a bunch of other stuff...))
FrivYeti: The oakmen look confused for a moment, and then step aside at an unseen signal. Nezini's cultured voice rings out from within the willowcarriage. "Good afternoon to you, Captain. You have such... fortuitous timing."
willcoon: ((assuming they do so,)) "Honorable Lady Nezini, a pleasure to meet you again, though the circumstances are somewhat wanting. I trust, apart from the battle, that you are well?"
FrivYeti: "I have been better, but I have also been worse." The willow leaves slide aside, giving room for Nezini to step out, and she smiles gently. "Thank you for your concern."
FrivYeti: She looks around the area. "What brings you back to this region, and in such numbers?"
Moonsword134: Valeria shrugs as Nezini's gaze sweeps over her.
willcoon: Skein inclines his head politely. "As you may have been able to perceive based on the extent of our armaments ... we are serving as a diplomatic mission to Creation."
DonovanTz: ::Hailey steps quietly away from TIger and heads in Lynx's direction::
Moonsword134: ((Except diplomatic parties aren't usually armed to the teeth.))
FrivYeti: ((Maybe not in reality...)) Nezini nods thoughtfully. "How cunning. Seeking out allies, yes? Quite wise of you."
Moonsword134: ((Well, there was Perry's expedition into Japan back in the 1850's, that had a quarter of the American navy riding shotgun...))
FrivYeti: Darting Lynx, apparantly confident that the enemyis not returning immediately, is now walking over towards the group.
Moonsword134: Valeria raises an eyebrow and then steps forward to get the fey's attention.
willcoon: "You are too kind, Lady Nezini. I hope the noisome Kizen has not been plaguing you overmuch? That this is not indicative of a continuing pattern of activity?"
willcoon: Skein looks between the others and Lynx.
FrivYeti: Nezini shakes her head sadly. "I fear very much that it is. I was not so cunning as you." She looks over at Valeria.
Moonsword134: Valeria smiles wryly at Nezini's comment. "I was about to point out much the same, milady."
Moonsword134: ((Is it safe to assume that my anima banner has settled back down by now?))
FrivYeti: ((It went down from 11+ to 7+ at the end of the combat scene, so that's where it is at the moment.))
Moonsword134: ((Wasn't it at 16+ at the end of combat, though?))
FrivYeti: ((That only lasts one action, I thought.))
FrivYeti: ((Do Dragon-Bloods work differently?))
Moonsword134: ((My last action before the end of combat, it went iconic.))
Wakoid2: Tiger lowers his bow and arrow. "What is the cause of his dispute with you?" he asked. As Lynx approached, he turned and saluted her. "Enemy routed, Winglord."
willcoon: He takes a deep breath, and hopes for the best from Lynx, though he is wary. "You flatter us, Lady Nezini. Do you know what fuels his aggression?"
FrivYeti: ((Moonsword - Doesn't matter. It drops at the end of the action, and then the scene ends and it drops again. :) ))
Moonsword134: ((Fair enough.))
FrivYeti: Nezini sighs. "In my isolation, I believed that no outside court could intrude on my affairs. As such, I was quite brash with Kizen when he approached me for an alliance."
FrivYeti: "I underestimated how much his resources have grown, while mine have shrunk."
Moonsword134: ((Oh, by the way, the chat log for last session's been break tagged if anyone wants to review it.))
FrivYeti: Darting Lynx nods to Errant Tiger. "Very well done." She turns to Nezini with a stern nod. "Madam. You must be the famed Nezini of whom I've heard so much."
willcoon: Skein has to suppress a smile at that.
Moonsword134: Valeria doesn't bother, although her smile is a small one.
DonovanTz: ::Hailey and Amarranth return to the group. Hailey stands at attention with Amaranth at her feet.::
Moonsword134: She moves back from the fey to give Lynx more room and stands beside Hailey.
DonovanTz: ((not at attention, I meant parade rest))
Moonsword134: The ebon-skinned Terrestrial reaches down and gives Amaranth an affectionate scratch on the head.
DonovanTz: ::The irrepresible Amaranth leans heavily into it::
FrivYeti: Nezini raises an eyebrow slightly, looking Darting Lynx over. "I am. And you are?"
Moonsword134: ((Plus he knows Valeria well, she and his master being best friends and all.))
FrivYeti: "Winglord Darting Lynx, of the Fourth Dragon of Scarlet Haven." Darting Lynx glances around. "What circumstances led to your war with Kizen?"
FrivYeti: Nezini considers Darting Lynx for a few moments. "Winglord, should you not see to your troops first?"
Moonsword134: ((Oh, hell... here it comes...))
FrivYeti: Lynx blinks, as though she hadn't even considered it. "Of course. Carry on, Captain." She turns on one heel and goes to check on the scouts.
Moonsword134: ((...and this is our commanding officer on this mission? _Lovely_...))
willcoon: Skein looks between them, then smiles. "Thank you, Lady Nezini."
DonovanTz: ::Hailey reaches down and pats Amaranth on the head::
hoverpope: "I don't suppose you would like to teach me that particular trick, Lady Nezini?"
FrivYeti: Nezini chuckles softly. "I would be happy to, sir, but I fear that you are not capable of developing it. It requires a certain understanding of the nature of the Wyld that no mortal can match."
Moonsword134: "Nor, I suspect, that our superiors... or my _father_... would be pleased if you developed," Valeria adds in a harsh whisper to Baran.
hoverpope: " Comedy, my dear Valeria." He whispers back. "Nothing calms people down like it."
Moonsword134: "Obviously, you've never seen my father in one of his more intense moods," Valeria mutters sarcastically.
FrivYeti: Nezini chuckles softly at the interplay, then returns her attention to the group as a whole. "I fear that you may find this passage less traversable in the future."
Moonsword134: Valeria's head jerks sharply to pay more attention to the fey.
FrivYeti: " It is only a matter of time before Kizen begins to wear away at the edges of the pass.
willcoon: "Indeed? Has it begun to close once more?"
willcoon: "... Kizen."
Moonsword134: ((So we find him and kill him, then?))
Moonsword134: ((Can I get a vote?))
willcoon: ((not a bad idea..))
Moonsword134: ((Well, that's one. I'm all for it. Any other takers?))
willcoon: "This does present certain difficulties. For how long do you think the passage will remain open?"
hoverpope: "Lady Nezini, do you have any suggestions as to how we might keep the passage open?"
FrivYeti: Nezini considers thoughtfully for a few long moments. "Find yourselves a number of armies."
FrivYeti: "That may be sufficient." She shakes her head. "For myself, I intend to leave this place and travel into Creation."
hoverpope: "Do you have a destination in mind, some haven you seek?"
Wakoid2: "I take it those that you spoke of the last time we passed through are approaching?" Tiger asked.
FrivYeti: Nezini nods. "Can you not feel it? The Wyld is called to them, draws to them. They cannot succeed at their dream - it is an impossibility. But the regions near the Wall will feel their wrath at their failure."
FrivYeti: "I do not know when they will come. But with my domain taken by Kizen, I have no reason to stay and risk their anger."
Moonsword134: ((Yay. I'm thinking we need to send a courier back Scarlet Haven to get the entire city mobilized.
Moonsword134: ((And then move them all, _fast_.))
willcoon: "We thank you for this knowledge. It appears that we, too, must react to changing times."
FrivYeti: "Indeed. Thank you very much for your assistance. It was likely my salvation." Nezini regards you seriously. "If there is anything you require in return, I do not know when we will next meet."
willcoon: Skein looks to the others. "Our immediate concern is mobilizing the Haven and getting them through the passage."
hoverpope: "Should we not first establish a foothold for our people in the world?
hoverpope: Certainly, carrying our diplomatic mission onwards while sending word back would allow the people to mobilize while allowing us to not surprise those we meet there so greatly.
hoverpope: Arriving with no preparations in hostile territory would scarcely be better."
Moonsword134: "I find myself agreeing with Baran for once," Valeria says in her usual soft whisper.
Moonsword134: ((brb, bathroom))
Wakoid2 has left the room.
Wakoid2 has entered the room.
FrivYeti: ((Didn't see you bounce, Wakoid.))
Wakoid2: "We'll need to alert Haven at the very least. Considering that Kizen will likely take it upon himself, either in diverting their attention from him or out of
Wakoid2: maliciousness, to show them where it is, they'll likely be attacked soon."
Wakoid2: ((-shrugs-))
hoverpope: Certainly that is the case. I could return back to the city and spread the word, if need be.
hoverpope: ("")
Moonsword134: ((Back.))
FrivYeti: Nezini nods thoughtfully. "I can leave some of my surviving soldiers to keep watch for Kizen's forces. Good luck to you, mortals. I paid little attention to your kind in the past. I think that was an error."
willcoon: "Thank you, Lady Nezini. And luck to you as well."
Moonsword134: Valeria nods politely.
Wakoid2: Errant Tiger bowed, a bit stiffly perhaps, but with genuine gratitude for her help and words.
FrivYeti: Nezini steps back into the chariot, which begins walking southwards towards the mountains. Eight of the oakmen join her, while two slip off back towards the woods - presumably to send word to her other troops.
hoverpope: brb - ramen
DonovanTz: ::Hailey inclines her head slightly, just enough to be polite::
FrivYeti: The characters are briefly by themselves; Lynx is still talking to her men, and the soldiers are regrouping and conversing amongst themselves.
willcoon: Skein takes stock of the battlefield, nods to Tiger, then walks just near enough to Lynx to catch what she's saying to her men.
Wakoid2: "Our timetable just became a lot shorter than we thought we'd have..." Tiger says, putting away his bow.
hoverpope: ((back))
FrivYeti: Currently, she is discussing the formation of future patrols with Captain Kyll, who is in favour of sending troops back and forth across the Wyld border to hit Fair Folk targets.
DonovanTz: In case it wasn't obvious, she used magic on the winglord ::Hailey speaks softly::
hoverpope: "I believe we had noted such, yes."
Moonsword134: Valeria nods.
willcoon: "Indeed, Tiger. We must move swiftly. Hopefully, we will be able to recruit the Arbiters to our aid..."
Wakoid2: "Whether we wish to ally with them is one thing that has yet to be determined. Even if we did, they aren't exactly in a position to lend us much aid at the moment."
FrivYeti: As the characters discuss, Lynx's head snaps up suddenly, and her eyes narrow. She looks in the direction that the carriage departed towards.
willcoon: "They claimed to be able to hold the passage open, at least to some extent."
FrivYeti: She strides over to the group. "Where did she go?"
DonovanTz: ((alright show's over, I need to lock up the theater. I'll be back on around quarter to 11))
DonovanTz has left the room.
Wakoid2: "Hold it open, maybe," Tiger agreed. "However, against several Fae armies, rather than any natural decay? I also meant finding a place for our people to go to once they made it to Creation."
willcoon: "That is a matter worth our consideration."
willcoon: "Ah, Lynx, the Fey is dealt with."
Wakoid2: "She departed, Winglord. She said her territory has been taken over by Kizen, and she would be leaving... with additional reasons for beyond her
Wakoid2: conflict with him. Apparently, there are going to be several Fae lords coming to the area in the near future... and taking their displeasure at the passage's exisance on anything they can find..."
FrivYeti: Lynx's eyes narrow. "Does she say that."
hoverpope: "She does, sir."
FrivYeti: "And do you know why, precisely, she did not feel the need to say so directly to me?"
Moonsword134: Valeria shifts uneasily, out of sight of Lynx.
Wakoid2: "I wouldn't know Ma'am. However, it does match her previous statements from my original mission."
hoverpope: "I would expect, sir, that she is afraid of you. You are considerably more powerful than us, and it would only make sense for her to split us up in case we were going to attack."
FrivYeti: ((Roll Manipulation + Presence, Baran.))
hoverpope: ((But I'm being honest!))
FrivYeti: ((Really? That sounds like a 'quick attempt to calm her down'.
OnlineHost: Moonsword134 rolled 2 10-sided dice: 4 9
Wakoid2: ((can't it be both? ^_^))
FrivYeti: ((... oh, fine. You can roll Charisma.))
Moonsword134: Valeria moves behind Lynx quietly, her grip shifting as she prepares to slam Lynx to the ground with her staff if the commander attempts something... rash... towards their erstwhile ally.
Moonsword134: ((1 success on the Dex + Stealth roll.))
hoverpope: ((1 success on charisma + presence. WOO.))
Moonsword134: ((Whether or not I actually have Stealth being obvious from the rather pathetic number of dice I threw on that roll.))
FrivYeti: Lynx stares after the carriage, thoughtfully. "Yes, it does. So why is it that she just happens to be pursued by Kizen as we enter this area? I don't buy it, Captain."
FrivYeti: "It's entirely too convienient."
Moonsword134: Valeria, noting that Lynx has calmed down, steps right behind her and whispers softly, "Because she had just been attacked, ma'am."
Moonsword134: ((If I can't hit her, I can at least spook the crap out of her.  ;) ))
FrivYeti: ((Not with one success. ;) )) Lynx doesn't turn to look at Valeria. "Attacked just as we depart. Did she make any suggestions?"
Moonsword134: ((Spoilsport.))
Wakoid2: "True. But not necessarily a lie on her part. Considering that there are several, more powerful Fae going to be arriving in the near future, they may have come into conflict trying to solify their respective holdings."
Moonsword134: ((*sticks out tongue, goes back to editing BattleTech weapons for building tanks*))
FrivYeti: Lynx shakes her head after a moment. "Even if she was attacked, it seems possible that Kizen did so just so that we could rescue her. If we believe there is an overwhelming force enroute..."
FrivYeti: "We would be more likely to leave Scarlet Haven, leaving our people without their fortifications in case of an attack."
Moonsword134: "The same Kizen who sacrificed that many of his troops? A costly deception, I expect," Valeria notes quietly.
FrivYeti: "They are Fair Folk, Valeria. They do not care about lives." Lynx, apparantly coming to a decision, shifts her position. "I will send three scouts back to Scarlet Haven with this information."
FrivYeti: "We continue the mission as originally instructed."
Wakoid2: "Or we might dig ourselves in, fortifying our position. While both scenarios of the attack on Nezini are possible, which would be the most disasterous to us if it were true?"
FrivYeti: Lynx waves an arm. "We will leave that to the colonels to consider, Captain. It is beyond the reach of our current assignment."
Moonsword134: ((Would anyone mind if I 'accidentally' smashed in Lynx's skull?))
willcoon: ((probably unwise at this point))
willcoon: ((witnesses))
Moonsword134: ((...we can take 'em.))
Wakoid2: ((also, she's right, as far things go))
hoverpope: "Sir, while it is true that they do not care for lives, they have been known to sometimes exhibit concern for resources."
Moonsword134: ((...yeah, but can't we kill her anyway?))
hoverpope: "Your analysis, however, is quite correct. My only concern is that if this is not a ruse, it would very much be in the interests of any fae in the area to intercept our scouts returning home."
FrivYeti: Lynx nods after a moment. "Not a bad point, Master Baran." She considers, looking around. "Master Baran, would you be so kind as to accompany the scouts back to Scarlet Haven?"
hoverpope: "Yes sir! I would be honoured to be given such a vital task."
FrivYeti: "You would best be able to fill in any missing information as to their natures, given your training - other than Madame Valeria, who we can ill spare."
Moonsword134: Valeria takes a self-mocking little bow.
hoverpope: "Then sir, I should report back immediately." Baran salutes over-stiffly, and jogs off to get the scouts and his demons ready to go home.
willcoon: Skein looks on thoughtfully.
FrivYeti: "Very good." Lynx nods, and raises her voice. "Everyone prepare to move out!"
Moonsword134: ((brb, my stomach is not happy.))
FrivYeti: She goes to converse with her lieutenants again, leaving the group alone.
willcoon: "...That went well."
DonovanTz has entered the room.
hoverpope: The coruscant outline of a great and beautiful wasp flickers into existince faintly near the group, and with clicking voice speaks. "Master Baran will keep you all personally informed of any urgent information that arises."
hoverpope: " Be cautious and consider the possiblity that Darting Lynx is correct. Good luck, and let him know if you need anything."
hoverpope: The wasp flickers out of existence again a fraction of a heartbeat later.
Wakoid2: "It could have gone worse," Tiger said. "We need to get back into positions now anyway."
willcoon: "A wasp..?"
Moonsword134: ((Back.))
hoverpope: ((Agata, actually))
willcoon: "Well, that's handy."
FrivYeti: ((*poke poke* Should I just cut scene, or do people want to say / do anything else here?))
Moonsword134: ((Not me.))
willcoon: ((haha))
Wakoid2: ((I'm good))
willcoon: ((yeah, that's fine -_-;;))
willcoon: '((oops))
hoverpope: ((Bye everyone, It's been fun, but I'm all written out.))
FrivYeti: ((*waves* Bye!))
hoverpope: ((Why are you waving? You're sitting right over there.))
Moonsword134: ((Bye. We'll forgive you if you make more demons.  ;) ))
FrivYeti: ((There's a DOOR in the way. Two doors!))
DonovanTz: ((don't think you've heard the last of us, Pope!))
FrivYeti: ((That's like... another country.))
hoverpope: ((Goodbye everyone, hope to see you around the wikis and hypothetically on other chat game whatevers. I'll miss y'all, except Friv. Friv, get me a muffin.))
FrivYeti: ((Hmm.... no.))
Wakoid2: ((The Federal Rupublic of Hoverland))
Moonsword134: ((I'll be around on the unofficial wiki. I'm kind of lurking there, just not producing much Exalted content right now.))
willcoon: (( : ( ))
hoverpope: ((Oh, and is Ambisinister in the room at the moment?))
FrivYeti: ((*nods* That's Donovan.))
hoverpope: ((Yeah, but I haven't seen'm lately. Anyways, your commission is brewing. Mwa ha!))
hoverpope: ((See ya, everyone.))
hoverpope has left the room.
FrivYeti: ((Actually, guys, do you mind terribly if I call it a night here? I'm completely zonked.))
FrivYeti: ((We're meeting in four days anyway.))
willcoon: mm?
Moonsword134: ((No problem here. I might be a tad late that night since I have a presentation to give on the 23rd some time between 5:30 and 8.))
FrivYeti: ((Understood. *thumbs up* I will send out a reminder email on Sunday. Four experience for today, and a glimpse at the genius that is Darting Lynx. ;) ))
willcoon: ((cool! see ya then))
Moonsword134: ((Can I kill her yet?))
FrivYeti: ((Feel free. There may be consequences, but you could probably take her in a surprise attack.))
Moonsword134: ((Will anyone else help me?))
FrivYeti: ((I mean, she actually has to activate All-Encompassing Earth Sense in advance.))
DonovanTz: ((So when are we meeting up again?))
Moonsword134: ((And, if I'm executed for murder, can I bring in a Lunar? Maybe Exalt Amaranth?))
DonovanTz: ((are you kidding? I'm a good soldier, I can't buck the chain of command like that until i see signs of gross incompetence and negligence))
DonovanTz: ((I'd probably have to attack you if you tried it))
FrivYeti: ((Monday, April 23rd. We'll start at 8:30 to give Moonsword time to make it. :) ))
FrivYeti: ((Moonsword: If you want to take the job of revising the entire Lunar charmset down to a Terrestrial level, you can play a Lunar Sky Dragon.))
Moonsword134: ((...I'll think about it if I ever get fed up enough with Lynx.))
willcoon: ((oo...))
FrivYeti: ((*laughs*))
Moonsword134: ((No, no, seriously, I'll think about it. Lunars with most of their power intact and free reflexives? *drools* ))
FrivYeti: ((Some of their power intact.))

Friv, if you're interested, I've found a much easier trick for break tagging these things that only takes about thirty seconds. Use Crimson Editor (it's a text editor for programmers that I keep around because Notepad's so limited), make a macro of "down arrow, End key, < b r >", and hold Alt+1 until you reach the end of the file, then select the whole thing and dump it into the wiki. Makes that much faster and less repetitive than doing it by hand in the browser. - MoonSword
