Zenleigha:~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~SCENE WIBBLE~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Story Teller: When last we left our fearless heroes, Ruby and EC were arguing and Zen had collapsed into a crying heap
Dancing Ruby Wings: [hey! we stopped arguing!]
Dancing Ruby Wings: [lol]
Maylin: ((go fearless heros...))
Zenleigha: ((lol))
Maylin: *in his little corner, Sayjin yawns, stretches, turns three times and goes back to sleep*
Endless Chase: *EC carefully tucks something into an inside pocket on his robe, and folds the bundle up.*
Dancing Ruby Wings: [suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck]
Endless Chase: *He then moves a little ways away and begins to stretch, and warm up for the coming day*
Dancing Ruby Wings: *she lays on her side just outside the temple door, her eyes open and staring out at the buildings....with a heavy sigh she pulls herself off the ground, glancing up at the rising sun*
Endless Chase: One...two...three...four...five...six...seven...eight...nine...
Zenleigha: *squirms in her sleep, adjusting*
Story Teller: Foam sits on the far corner of the roof, completely unmoving. Only his eyes are in motion, staring at the rising sun
Dancing Ruby Wings: *she twists her neck, popping the joints to ease the discomfort of having slept on the hard steps, then does the same with her back*
Endless Chase: fourtythree...fourtyfour...fourtyfive...fourtysix...fourtyseven...fourtyeight...fourtynine....fifty...
Zenleigha: *groans at the counting*
Dancing Ruby Wings: *she chuckles at the groan and turns to yell* Wake up sleepy head!
Zenleigha: but its sooo bright! *stretches*
Maylin: *grumbles at the shout and is awake. After another stretch he begins a bathing process that is fascinating to watch due to throughness*
Dancing Ruby Wings: *she laughs* If the sun wasnt bright in the morning, I would be afraid
Endless Chase: You're not allowed co complain about brightness unless you have eight eyes.
Endless Chase: *Moves on to pushups*
Zenleigha: i'm just used to the trees shading everything
Zenleigha: *Sits up, combing out her hair*
Maylin: *lick lick lick*
Dancing Ruby Wings: *moves into a graceful backbend, stretching her sore back muscles* argh....remind me to find a softer place to sleep next time
Zenleigha: *Grins*
Zenleigha: not all of us are used to feather beds, but i have to say they are nice when available
Endless Chase: I moved the bed into the hallway.
Dancing Ruby Wings: *she rolls back up, standing* It's not like I'm going to be sleeping on one again anytime soon
Endless Chase: The floor was at least smooth.
Zenleigha: but even hammocks are more comfy than stone
Zenleigha: *stands*
Maylin: *pauses for a hairball, then goes back to bathing*
Dancing Ruby Wings: *she chuckles* Even grass is more comfy then stone
Zenleigha: *picks up oynx and places her gently into her sling*
Story Teller: Onyx: zzzz
Story Teller: Ember: zzzzz
Story Teller: Onyx and Ember: *pseudo-loud snoring*
Dancing Ruby Wings: *she looks down at Ember* good....keep sleeping....you had WAY too much excitement yesterday
Zenleigha: *grins* at least they haven't learned to awaken to the burning of the dawn
Zenleigha: *blinks a few times to adjust her eyes*
Maylin: *Sayjin suddenly stops and prowls over to the edge, looking down with a small twitch of his tail and the subtlest purr*
Zenleigha: i really hope May comes back soon
Zenleigha : I worry, especially after what you said you ran into Ruby
Dancing Ruby Wings: *she chuckles* They were mindless creatures.....even if she cant beat them on strength, she can outsmart them
Maylin: Foam! Get them off the roof!
Story Teller: Says a familiar voice
Zenleigha: *spins around*
Dancing Ruby Wings: *blinks*
Zenleigha: May!
Story Teller: Foam blinks and looks down at something on the other side of the temple
Zenleigha: Thank the gods you're safe!
Story Teller: Then he turns to face the rest of you
Story Teller: "Get off the roof"
Zenleigha: *grins*
Dancing Ruby Wings: *isnt on the roof*
Maylin: *is charging at a run towards the temple*
Dancing Ruby Wings: *chuckles* Told you so....
Story Teller: He steps over the edge and slowly floats down towards the ground
Dancing Ruby Wings: *waves*
Zenleigha: *climbs down the spider silk rope*
Endless Chase: *Grabs Onyx*
Endless Chase: I'll take her down
Maylin: *growls and scoops up one of the children*
Zenleigha: *is CARRYING onyx*
Endless Chase: *Jumps carefully*
Endless Chase: ((OK)
Story Teller: Pathian, who has woken up with the commotion, also scrambles down the side of the temple
Endless Chase: ((I figured it would be easier for EC, but whatever))
Dancing Ruby Wings: [lol]
Maylin: *gives Ember to EC and blinks at him, looking from him to the rope*
Zenleigha: ((but she was already down the rope))
Maylin: All of you! Please!
Endless Chase: ((Whatever, we all get off the roof))
Zenleigha: What is it?
Maylin: Hayako...
Zenleigha: *holds May’s shoulders* take a deep breath
Dancing Ruby Wings: *blinks again* Wait....What?!
Maylin: Alaethis is on his way, but I don't know how soon he'll get here
Zenleigha: what?!
Zenleigha: what's going on?
Maylin: I went to Heaven to check it out and see if it was safe and I met Hayako...I'm sorry! I didn't think I would endanger any of you I didn't say a word about any of you in case!
Maylin: I swear! *looks paniced*
Endless Chase: *remains silent*
Endless Chase: *Seeming almost as though he is purposly ignoring her*
Zenleigha: wait.... you went back? with out me ? *tries to hide her dissapointment*
Dancing Ruby Wings: *cringes at Hayako's name*
Maylin: I'm sorry, I wanted to see if it was safe...it's not even safe for me and I have diplomatic immunity
Zenleigha: *Sighs a little*
Zenleigha: so what happened, exactly
Dancing Ruby Wings: So....is she looking for us from up there or something?
Maylin: I'm sorry Zen, I can't keep my promise to you yet, please please forgive me! *grips her friend's arm*
Zenleigha: you should sit down and tell us over some breakfast
Zenleigha: exactly what happend
Maylin: No time! Where is a safe hiding place here? *looks at all of them*
Zenleigha: *takes her friend over to the stairs*
Dancing Ruby Wings: *points to the temple* We could go inside
Zenleigha: we can't open the door
Dancing Ruby Wings: *pulls the three orbs out of her pocket calmly and tries each one*
Story Teller: Unfortunately, nothing happens
Dancing Ruby Wings: *shrugs* It worked before
Zenleigha: alas
Dancing Ruby Wings: Well...hide eh?
Zenleigha: lets sit here on the steps, and you can tell us what happened
Endless Chase: *Looks up at one of the floating towers*
Zenleigha: we haven't been attacked yet
Maylin: all of you...hopefully we can keep them thinking I'm the only one...
Zenleigha: so it'll be okay for at least the amount of time for the rest of us to be informed
Zenleigha: so, *guides May to sit next to her*
Maylin: *tries to calm down* All right...last night, since I could not sleep anyway I went to explore the idea of Heaven. I thought it would help me get over my fear of it.
Zenleigha: *nods*
Maylin: While I was there I met Hayako, I didn't recognize her but she called me Rai-chan so she knew me. I later found out the Hayako killed you, Ruby.
Dancing Ruby Wings: *flinches*.....yeah, i know
Endless Chase: ((*Looks at the non-floating towers))
Zenleigha: *cringes*
Maylin: She told me what Heaven was, it's the home of the gods and creatures called Sidereals. There are gates all over creation, including one north of Alaethis's territory.
Zenleigha: Siderals? is that what that woman is? *ponders*
Story Teller: ((Sidereals is from an Old Realm root word meaning, "Of the Stars," ;-)))
Maylin: That measn it can act simularly to the Labriynth...when I mentioned that, Hayako took me to her office and had me tell her all I knew about Alabaster Chimes. Alabaster and his master may not have the best intentions for the Daimyo
Maylin: and Zen, when we get the chance I'll need to use you sending spell to warn him.
Zenleigha: O?
Dancing Ruby Wings: *purses her lips* Why can we trust what Hayako says? *trying her best not to be TOO biased*
Maylin: I dind't mean to be gone so long, but when I found out that I could, I decided to visit Alaethis, thinking he might be able to help me clear my head of my dreams and that stupid vision! It was pleasent talk to him and because of him
Maylin: I learned about Hayako
Endless Chase: You just said that Hayaku killed ruby. We're supposed to trust her about Chimes and the Daimyo?
Zenleigha: Well, she killed the old Ruby
Maylin: *shakes her head* there's no real way to tell, but it was Alaethis that warned me that something about the alliance may not be as sweet as we thought
Zenleigha: that doesn't mean she'll kill the new one . . .
Zenleigha : what do you mean?
Endless Chase: As far as I have been able to tell, that wasn't the right thing. It shouldn't have happened.
Dancing Ruby Wings: *a shiver crawls up her spine, but she ignores it....the memories are too fresh in her mind from yesterday*
Maylin: Hayako never directly accused Alabaster, but it might be Alabaster's master who wishes to make Lookshy another shadowland
Maylin: how easy would it be, his servant is on the inside, don't you see?
Zenleigha: *furrows her brow*
Maylin: I can't believe I missed it before, but then I didn't know much about Abyssal's before
Zenleigha: the Diamyo must be made to know this
Maylin: exactly!
Zenleigha: but isn't Chimes still with him?
Dancing Ruby Wings: As far as we know, yes
Zenleigha: we can't risk him over hearing . .
Maylin: I know what to say
Zenleigha: well, I'll have to say it
Zenleigha: so you better tell me
Maylin: I just need the spell, Zen, please *bites her lip* all right... thank you, I could kiss you right now
Endless Chase: I don't care. As far as I can tell, the Daimyo hasn't ever done anything but accuse us of things that should bear no punishment. I say let him make his own mistakes.
Zenleigha: i haven't heard back from the Diamyo in a while
Maylin: Shut up Endless Chase!
Zenleigha: if someone other than me sends the spell,
Endless Chase: Chimes has done more for us than the Daimyo has.
Zenleigha: well it could bode much ill
Dancing Ruby Wings: That wouldnt help anything- it would just cause more problems
Maylin: all right, you dictate for me then
Zenleigha: later though,
Dancing Ruby Wings: besides, do we really want more things runnign around like the things that destoyed your village?
Zenleigha: ones sent at night are safer
Maylin: *nods* you'd know better then I.
Endless Chase: Bah. I'm going to get myself some food.
Maylin: I am sorry if I worried you, I didn't mean to be gone so long.
Endless Chase: *changes into a bird and flies off*
Zenleigha: *hugs her tightly*
Dancing Ruby Wings: *nods* It's okay- im sure you had things you had to take care of
Maylin: *hugs back* I promise that I will take you to Heaven, but right now not even Aleathis wants me going through there.
Dancing Ruby Wings: *looks at May* What did Alaethis say? Should we stay here?
Maylin: *nods* he's on his way but he can't get here as fast as I could
Dancing Ruby Wings: *blinks* He's coming here?
Zenleigha: Alright, well we need to find shelter
Zenleigha: *smiles at the thought of Alaethis coming*
Zenleigha: He did say he'd come if we needed him
Maylin: yes *looks to Ruby* and he says you two need to talk.
Dancing Ruby Wings: *she coughs forcefully* o-okay...
Zenleigha: *wrinkles her brow for a moment*
Endless Chase: *Flies back, a dead monkey in his talons*
Maylin: lets get you all into shelter...
Zenleigha: Yes, we should get out of the sun
Zenleigha: *shades her eyes*
Dancing Ruby Wings: *she thinks for a moment* The only real hiding place i can think of is where i went yesterday
Dancing Ruby Wings: Its.....underground
Zenleigha: is that safe?
Zenleigha: well... you did say you dispatched it's former inhabitants
Dancing Ruby Wings: as long as you stay away from vines- the dragon kings i ran into were no real threat
Zenleigha: *nods*
Zenleigha : can do
Maylin: show me the way in, but nothing else, all right?
Dancing Ruby Wings: You arent coming with us?
Zenleigha: You have to, so you can finish telling us about heaven
Maylin: *shakes her head* I'm hoping they'll think I'm the only one...and this way I can see Alaethis
Story Teller: A bright ball of light flashes out of the northwest and hovers next to Zen's ear
Zenleigha: *stops, listening*
Story Teller: It bobs up and down for a moment, and then--in the voice of the Daimyo of Lookshy--it speaks
Story Teller: "Zenleigha-doso, I would be honored to receive the tribute of you and your...companions. As you are far away now, I imagine that setting a meeting time would not be convenient for you.
Story Teller: "Contact me in the future when you have more to discuss."
Zenleigha: *smiles*
Zenleigha: Wonderful
Maylin: actually, meeting soon would be a good idea Zen *her whole posture says "hint hint!"*
Endless Chase: *mumbles through a mouthful of monkey*
Zenleigha: I know, but we don't know where it would be safe to meet
Maylin: Jade?
Zenleigha: so, we'd have to wait until we were closer to Lookshy
Zenleigha: *furrows her brow*
Zenleigha: Well, I'll send on your intelligence tonight
Maylin: *shakes her head* no, I'm getting side tracked. Ruby, take them there and I will follow you to the entrance
Zenleigha: and then we'll plan our route out of here since we'll have to leave shortly after Alaethis' arival
Dancing Ruby Wings: *nods* you got it
Maylin: this way I won't be liing when I say I don' know where you are
Zenleigha: *nods*
Maylin: Endless Chase, can you feel Alaethis?
Dancing Ruby Wings: *she motions for them to follow her and she heads for the elevator entrance that she exited into the alleyway yesterday*
Zenleigha: *follows closely*
Endless Chase: He and I have not shared in The Brotherhood of Lake and River rite.
Story Teller: ((the rest of you are getting a little hungry))
Maylin: *follows them to the entrance*damn, hope he can follow by scent than...
Zenleigha: *pulls out a bit of flat travel bread to nibble on*
Endless Chase: ((Well, I figured all I got was a little monkey, as I carried it back whi;e still a hawk))
Story Teller: Another ball of light, shaped like a hummingbird, flashes out of the northeast next to Zen's ear
Zenleigha: *stops, blinking* that was quick
Maylin: ((damn you pitt!)
Zenleigha: *listens*
Story Teller: "Don't panic."
Zenleigha: ((in who's voice??))
Story Teller: ((Alaethis' voice))
Zenleigha: *blinks and smiles*
Story Teller: The building is exactly as you left it...the elevator doors are even still open
Dancing Ruby Wings: *points* This is the entrance May
Maylin: *she and Sayjin seem to simply walk on, with the slightest of nods from Maylin*
Dancing Ruby Wings: *nods, turns, and enters the elevator* Come on...
Story Teller: *whoosh! Click, hummmmm*
Zenleigha: *comes with*
Maylin: *"Great idea, woman, going off on your own. They kept me up whining about you leaving!"
Maylin: shut up, Sayjin
Story Teller: "Ishthak'naga *sthenish stheri*htchak mal'ith* met'inachis theri*nash?"
Dancing Ruby Wings: *once everyone is inside, she calls out in old realm* 8th level, please
Dancing Ruby Wings: [brb, bathroom]
Zenleigha: ((KK))
Maylin: *"oh that's a great way to say 'thanks for watching them'"*
Pathian: (could someone save it and email this to me so i can read whats happened so far?)
Zenleigha: ((yes))
Endless Chase: ((I'll get it for you))
Maylin: I dind't ask you to watch them, but thank you if you did
Maylin: *keeps to open areas of the city, one eye on the sky*
Story Teller: As the doors of the small room woosh shut and it begins to descend, you notice that, while Foam has silently tagged along with you, Endless Chase...has not
Dancing Ruby Wings: [back]
Story Teller: *descend, descend*
Zenleigha: *watches the celing*
Story Teller: The city is mostly empty today. There aren't even any goblins patrolling anywhere
Story Teller: The ceiling has several crystals in it, glowing faintly red
Maylin: *wandering, arguing with Sayjin about the likelihood of her being brutaly murdered*
Dancing Ruby Wings: *taps her foot against the ground* We are going to the floor that my office is located on, but we wont be going there
Zenleigha: Oh?
Dancing Ruby Wings *she flashes a crooked grin at Zen* Mostly because I don't think i could find it again if i tried
Zenleigha: *smiles*
Story Teller: *click*
Dancing Ruby Wings: Trust me, you'll see what i mean
Story Teller: The doors whoosh open, revealing a very dimly lit octagonal chamber
Zenleigha: *nods*
Zenleigha: *waits for ruby*
Dancing Ruby Wings: *steps out of the elevator into the room* Here we are...
Story Teller : There is a ramp on the opposite end, and soft emerald grass grows on the floor
Story Teller: Some few crystals in the ceiling still give off a dim glow
Zenleigha: *follows*
Story Teller: The ramp leads down into unlit darkness
Story Teller: There are two passages that travel off the room
Endless Chase: *follows*
Story Teller: The more May wanders, the more she's convinced that everyone really is gone. There's barely any movement at all, only a few lizards and birds in the sky
Dancing Ruby Wings: *standing in the middle of the room, she turns to the others* I suggest we stay right here.....the passageways are very confusing.....and down there *points to the ramp* I can only assume is the car ramp
Maylin: this is not right...*draws her dirk* only undead do this...
Story Teller: As the doors close, you hear a faint, "Have a nice day."
Zenleigha: Interesting
Zenleigha: *peers around her*
Maylin: *"why couldn't we hide with everyone else again?"*
Story Teller: In the distance, you can hear the sound of water dripping and some faint hissing sounds
Maylin: Stop being a pansy
Story Teller: The hissing sounds are getting nearer
Zenleigha: *shivers*
Dancing Ruby Wings: *groans, drawing Answerer* this could be fun...
Dancing Ruby Wings: *turns to Zen* Take Ember for me?
Zenleigha: *nods and takes Ember, adjusting the second travel sling over her other shoulder*
Dancing Ruby Wings: *smiles* Thanks...
Story Teller: You can hear a faint clacking in the distance, like fingernails--or claws--on stone
Dancing Ruby Wings: *turns her gaze down the two passageways, watching for movement*
Story Teller: But that, too, is getting nearer
Story Teller: It is hard to see down the passages. Unlike human-made passages, they flow in a gentle curve, obscuring vision too far down the corridors
Story Teller: And the echoes make it hard to detect the source of the sounds
Zenleigha: *shivers*
Pathian: (time of day?)
Dancing Ruby Wings: [morning]
Pathian: (ok thanks)
Zenleigha: Pathian?
Pathian: i can take a look
Zenleigha: thanks *smiles*
Pathian: (which direction are the sounds coming from ?)
Story Teller: ((Per + awareness. The echoes make it hard to tell))
Maylin: *"hey, I'm sure that you can deal with this no food thing, but I can't...so I'll catch up with you later"*
Zenleigha: ((how is your hand doing anyway?))
Endless Chase: ((Have any dice with you greens?))
Pathian: (ehhh it is getting better, just not as better as i would like)
Maylin: Hey! Oh fine *leans against a building to wait for him to get back*
Zenleigha: ((i know that feeling))
Pathian: (8 dice)
Story Teller: You can't quite tell. It might be coming from your right, but you're not sure
Dancing Ruby Wings: *looks at Pathian* I'll watch the other tunnel...dont worry
Story Teller: The sounds grow steadily louder
Endless Chase: ((Gotcha))
Pathian: ok, i go right
Story Teller: Now it's obvious that they're coming from the right
Zenleigha: and i'll... watch our backs.. and the kids...
Pathian: (ROCK)
Maylin: *massages the back of her neck* where are you...?
Pathian: (so i go down the right)
Zenleigha: *steadies herself, shifting one of the kiddies onto her back so she has her left side free to draw her bow if necessary*
Pathian: (draws dawn and dusk)
Story Teller: Pathian enters the tunnel, and...around the bend of the tunnel comes a lizard, though it's larger than any lizard you've thus seen. It has glittering green, gold, and grey scales and a crest of feathers running down its back.
Story Teller: It's also bleeding from several long wounds, running in terror, and isn't enough to make all that noise
Dancing Ruby Wings: [not a good sign]
Pathian: ITS A LIZZARD!
Dancing Ruby Wings: [TROGDOR!]
Pathian: (no burnination)
Story Teller: When it sees you standing there with your chakrams, it pauses for a moment. The thing's throat works, its tongue flicks out twice, then, in somewhat garbled Old Realm, it speaks
Zenleigha: Oh that doesn't sound good
Story Teller: "Help...me..."
Story Teller: And it collapses on the grass
Pathian: ummmmm....
Pathian: ok
Zenleigha: It needs help!
Zenleigha: *rushes over to it*
Pathian: (grabs it and drags it into the room)
Zenleigha: *meets pathion* Here, i can heal it
Dancing Ruby Wings: *purses lips* I hope that isnt the one that i almost killed earlier... *innocent whistling*
Endless Chase: ((lol))
Story Teller: Then, a dozen or more of them run around the corner as well...clinging to the walls, ceiling, and floor
Dancing Ruby Wings: *blink*
Zenleigha: I don't think it would run to human for help if it were you that harmed it
Pathian: (SPLITS ACTOINS)
Story Teller: The city reminds empty...
Dancing Ruby Wings: [A LOT]
Story Teller: ((Pathian...dude, you're carrying a body :-P))
Pathian: (:-P)
Story Teller: ((That's big action penalties unless you want to just dump it on the ground))
Zenleigha: *activates wound mending care tech*
Maylin: There is something defidently not right about this...hope the others are all right
Pathian: (fine then i drop the body and split actions)
Dancing Ruby Wings: {THUD]
Pathian: (i didn say that i was dragging it)
Story Teller: Pathian unceremoniously dumps the Dragon King on the ground, whipping around with his chakrams already in his hands
Pathian: (so its not like it fell that far)
Story Teller: Initiative!
Dancing Ruby Wings: [everyone, or just Pathian?]
Story Teller: Everyone
Pathian: (8)
Dancing Ruby Wings: *brandishes sword* BWAH!
Pathian: (plus a die)
Zenleigha: *her fingers glow brightly as she waives the up and down the body of the injured lizzard*
Dancing Ruby Wings: [12]
Story Teller: ((what did you get for initiative))
Pathian: (i thought you were rolling)
Story Teller: ((you can roll the one die))
Pathian: (in that case 16)
Story Teller: And Pathian wins!
Pathian: (ROCK WINS)
Zenleigha: *drags the body further back in the hall, out of the way to let him rest*
Pathian: (splits actions 3 times 2 attacks and a reserve)
Maylin: *spends 5 essence to use Wise Eyed Courtier method to detect any thinking creatures*
Zenleigha: *she leans over his side and whispers in Old Realm that everything will be alright*
Story Teller: The Dragon King hisses slightly. He's close to unconsciousness...you think. It's hard to tell, since he's not remotely human
Maylin: ((action cancled...))
Zenleigha: *takes an extra rag and poors a little water from her cantine on it and then drips the water into his mouth*
Pathian: (goes after the ones on the celing(hoping that they might crash onto the ones below ))
Zenleigha: *she then takes the damp rag and wraps some herbs into a poluce to wipe down his wounds with, while praying that they heal without infection*
Maylin: *begins searching through the city, hoping to find any sign of life at all*
Story Teller: ((enhancing those attacks at all?))
Pathian: (first chakram away at the nearist one on the cealing) (splits it for 1 mote)
Pathian: (seeing if more umpf is necissary)
Story Teller: The Chakram thuds into the lizard. It hisses and stops its forward progress, but the others swarm around either side of it and keeping coming
Story Teller: ((next attack?))
Story Teller: *rematerialize*
Maylin: *is searching through buildings, not throughly, but with a care for her person, hoping that there will be some life, even a goblin...*
Pathian: (next nearist one on the cealing(1 mote to split and 5 for cascade of cutting terror))
Story Teller: Maylin doesn't find life, exactly...she finds a team of what were probably explorers, when they were still alive
Story Teller: Now, they're nothing but cooling meat. The bodies are still somewhat fresh, though--they must have died in the night
Maylin: *scowls* What the hell could have done this? *begins searching the area for clues*
Pathian: (i save the last action for dodging)
Story Teller: Hundreds of duplicates of Dusk tear the Dragon King apart. Only a few scraps of flesh remain recognizeable
Story Teller: Ruby?
Dancing Ruby Wings: [so, how many of these things are there?]
Story Teller: 10, now. Some in the back seem to be hesitating, though
Dancing Ruby Wings: [splitting actions three ways, all attacks]
Zenleigha: Speak to them in Old Realm Ruby! see if you can scare them back!
Zenleigha: *yells down the hall*
Dancing Ruby Wings: *she runs, Answerer in one hand, leaps into the air and grabs a neaby vine, using it to propel herself towards one of the creatures on the ceiling tearing it down from its perch with a downward slash* BE GONE! *in old realm*
Story Teller: ((+2 stunt))
Zenleigha: ((ooie))
Dancing Ruby Wings: [6 successes]
Maylin: *she bites her lower lip and sheathes her dirk to examine the bodies and determine what could be missing*
Story Teller: ((I just rolled the whole thing for you...oops :-[))
Dancing Ruby Wings: [haha its okay if you want to do it that way lol]
Dancing Ruby Wings: [your the GM, your call]
Story Teller: The blow cleaves most of its torso off. Without a head, it can't keep its grip on the ceiling and it collapses to the ground
Story Teller: ((next action))
Story Teller: Most of their goods haven't been taken. Only their weapons and provisions--their money, rope, and so on is all still there
Dancing Ruby Wings: *she kicks away the body as it falls, before she stabs sideways towards the wall, impaling one of the giant lizards below the base of the neck, she runs down the hall, tearing her blade all the way through its torso, splitting...
Dancing Ruby Wings: even its tail down the middle*
Maylin: *sighs and out of respect for the dead, moves them enough to back burial easier later on. She continues walking the city, hoping that she looks casual to anyone watching....even thought she just moved bodies....um...*
Story Teller: ((+1 die stunt))
Dancing Ruby Wings: [are you rolling for me again?]
Story Teller : ((sure))
Story Teller: The Dragon King is torn completely in half. Answerer goes right through its scales like they were paper
Story Teller: ((next action))
Maylin: Spears and claws...what uses spears AND claws...?
Endless Chase: Dragon Kings, Maylin.
Dancing Ruby Wings: *the nearest dragon king after her short sprint is an unlucky one, as she thrusts her sword straight through its face, right between the eyes*
Endless Chase: *Endless Chase walks around some rubble to face her
Maylin: *jumps and turns, her hand moving to her dirk out of instinct only*
Maylin: what are you doing out here?
Maylin: You're supposed to be with the others.
Maylin: *lets go of the weapon*
Story Teller: The Dragon King's head is destroyed utterly. The headless, and mostly torso-less, corpse collapses to the ground. The others pause for a moment, then flee madly back down the tunnel
Maylin: You're supposed to be with Ruby and your daughters.
Endless Chase: I'm supposed to what now? I'm not supposed to do anything, least of all what you think I should.
Dancing Ruby Wings: *waves them goodbye as they flee in terror*
Zenleigha: *sighs in relief*
Dancing Ruby Wings: *satisfied, she brushes the gore off her pants and heads back into the original room*
Zenleigha: well, maybe we should stick to this part of the tunnel
Dancing Ruby Wings: Told ya, no big deal
Zenleigha: Since we can defend ourselves from here
Zenleigha: *smiles*
Dancing Ruby Wings: *winks*
Maylin: *scowls for a moment* I'm trying to keep you all safe. I'm expendable, you aren't.
Maylin: They need you...none of you need me.
Story Teller: The remaining Dragon King makes a long rasping sound in his throat
Endless Chase: Well, you have the last part right.
Dancing Ruby Wings: *glances over, kneeling beside Zen and the dragon king*
Endless Chase: And I can handle myself. Don't think you need to protect me.
Zenleigha: *leans over the Dragon King*
Zenleigha: hello? *she calls in old realm*
Story Teller: It's eyes are open, and it is glancing wildly around the room
Zenleigha: It's alright
Dancing Ruby Wings: *speaking in old realm* Calm....youre okay
Story Teller: "Who...are you?"
Zenleigha: *strokes it's arm soothingly* we're friends
Maylin: *blinks* I'm sorry...I didn't mean to tell you I was just thinking...you don't care what I was thinking, do you?
Story Teller: There is a rolled trill, not really an r sound
Zenleigha: you needed help, we're helping
Dancing Ruby Wings: *bows her head* I am Ruby, this is Zen
Zenleigha: *smiles*
Zenleigha: I healed you
Zenleigha: well, you'll still need to rest
Endless Chase: Not much any more, Maylin.
Story Teller: "Thank...you, Zen-dono."
Maylin: *groans and leans against a building* so what did I do now?
Zenleigha: *smiles*
Maylin: Going to Heaven?
Maylin: I didn't think you wanted to go.
Endless Chase: It's not what you did at all.
Zenleigha: no thanks is necessary, i was honored to be able to help
Endless Chase: I don't much care about what you get yourself into.
Story Teller: "My name is Sth*ismach"
Endless Chase: It's what you didn't do.
Maylin: What didn't I do? Kiss you good bye? *smirks slightly*
Zenleigha: *ponders* do you have a nickname we could call you so we don't butcher how it's pronounced?
Story Teller: ((drawn out hiss/ clacking of teeth together/i sound/ s sound/ hum/ "ah" sound/ "ch as in "loch"))
Endless Chase: I feel no need to justify myself to one of your kind.
Maylin: one of my kind?
Story Teller: "...No...I do not. I have...not needed one before."
Endless Chase: Exactly. One of your kind.
Dancing Ruby Wings: *nods* Then we will just have to try our best
Maylin: Endless Chase, I'm from your tribe, I'm Exalted just like you...I'm one of your kind
Story Teller: It turns its head slightly. "And thank you, Ruby-dono, for driving off the Mad Ones."
Zenleigha: Can I call you Sith? *not quite getting the sound right*
Zenleigha: Zenleigha is my proper name, but my friends call me Zen
Zenleigha: *Smiles*
Dancing Ruby Wings: *nods* You are welcome, I've had to do such things before....they are quite...persistant
Story Teller: "Sith?" It's tongue flicks in and out of its mouth a for a moment.
Story Teller: It pauses, then..."Sthenrraya?"
Endless Chase: You are nothing like my kind. My kind doesn't leave their friends while they sleep in the hands of one they cannot trust.
Zenleigha: *thinks*
Maylin: *it clicks and she groans* Endless Chase, think about it, if Foam wanted to kill us he would have done it by now
Maylin: and you are my kind, you let your daughters go down there with him
Endless Chase: You think, woman! His breed has done nothing to earn our trust. I am all for giving one their chance to prove themselves, but I cannot use blind trust.
Story Teller: It looks rather embarrassed at its horrible butchering of your name. You think so, anyway. The expressions are very hard to understand
Zenleigha: Sthenrraya
Zenleigha: i can say that *smiles*
Endless Chase: And I know that the daughters are in good hands.
Endless Chase: Ruby, Pathian, and Zen are all capable Exalts.
Maylin: well that was his chance then wasn't it? He proved he's trust worthy
Endless Chase: They do not need me all the time.
Dancing Ruby Wings: *chuckles* He said Zenleigha, Zen
Zenleigha: O
Endless Chase: Yes, he has proven himself.
Zenleigha: *blushes*
Dancing Ruby Wings: And he said it a lot better than I could hope to say his
Endless Chase: But you have not.
Maylin: Excuse me?
Zenleigha: *nods*
Endless Chase: You left us in a strangers hands while all of us were asleep.
Zenleigha: You must be skilled in languages Sith-sama
Endless Chase: You risked the lives of each of us, and of my daughters.
Maylin: Sayjin...Sayjin was still there as well
Maylin: *takes a step back from him, worried now*
Endless Chase: And I am to trust a cat.
Endless Chase: I'm not following you now to help you, or to keep you safe.
Story Teller: "I only speak our tongue, and the language of the Realm, and that imperfectly."
Endless Chase: I'm not worried about Ruby and the others fighting whatever they may find in those tunnels
Maylin: why are you following me than?
Endless Chase: I'm worried about what we do not know about.
Endless Chase: You said you spoke with Hayaku.
Maylin: I did, yes.
Endless Chase: I know she cannot be trusted, and that she is very powerful.
Endless Chase: I have seen her in my dreams.
Maylin: I never mentioned anyone else except for Alabaster Chimes and only because she asked about Abyssals
Dancing Ruby Wings: I believe you speak it very well, we just learned it as well
Zenleigha: What is your tounge?
Story Teller: It's lower jaw drops and it makes a small hissing sound
Endless Chase: I know that she has killed me at least once, and the same with ruby.
Maylin: if she's so powerful than I would think that having me take the brunt of her fury would be the most helpful to the group, don't you?
Zenleigha: *wrinkles her brow* that seems to me that it would prove very difficult to learn
Maylin: She didn't even know Alaethis was still alive, Endless Chase, I think you're safe
Story Teller: "It is...our language. The language...the speech."
Story Teller: "The Sacred Speech."
Maylin: She had no idea that we were back
Endless Chase: I have reason to suspect that she has killed me more than once before as well.
Zenleigha: *nods*
Maylin: then perhaps you should be a good boy in this life, shouldn't you?*is obviously nervous*
Story Teller: "The others may wish to meet you...I need to return, and they will want to know what you have done for me."
Endless Chase: And I have had a dream about her saying that she has found us again, us togather, and that she will come to us in a disguse.
Endless Chase: *disguise
Zenleigha: there are others like you? *looks very excited* yes, you must return to them
Zenleigha: but will it be safe?
Maylin: and I've had dreams of men in red armor raping me, they're just dreams though
Endless Chase: And I said allready that I cannot trust you. So I will ensure that you do not give her a chance to help her find them.
Story Teller: "We are...very few." It pauses. "We grow fewer each year. It is hard to train up the young in the right way, and more die than are saved from the madness."
Maylin: going to tie me up again...?
Zenleigha: *nods*
Dancing Ruby Wings: *she frowns sadly* Thats horrible....there used to be so many of you....what could have happened?
Zenleigha: *sits back, her paitient healing admirably*
Story Teller: It licks its teeth with its tongue. "We...do not know."
Endless Chase: *Gives her a bad look as he turns into a bird to circle around above her, still watching carefully*
Zenleigha: you need to rest here for a few more hours for the healing to take full effect
Story Teller: "I understand."
Story Teller: "Thank you again, Sthen-dono."
Maylin: *clenches her hands into fists to stop them from shaking so badly*
Zenleigha: *smiles* Like i said, Sith-san, the honor was mine
Endless Chase: *Occasionally screeches as he swoops down within ten feet of her head*
Story Teller: It closes its eyes and is soon asleep. You have to check its pulse to make sure, though--its breathing is so slow you almost think it died
Maylin: *returns "what's the bird's problem? Looks tasty..."*
Dancing Ruby Wings: *her stomach grumbles angrily, so she pulls some rations out of her bag to eat* <CHOMP>
Maylin: He thinks I'm a traitor...just let it be, Seyjin...*stops in a sunny spot in the city to pull out rations, getting something in her stomach*
Zenleigha: *leans back against the soft grass*
Zenleigha: Alaethis might be here soon
Zenleigha: i hope he doesn't teleport into a den of those critters
Dancing Ruby Wings: *swallows some bread* I havent seen them at all on the surface....so I doubt he will
Dancing Ruby Wings: And if he does, hes clearly MORE than capable
Zenleigha: true
Zenleigha: but it's still not much fun
Endless Chase: *Eventually perches, just within reach of the cat, almost as though he is daring the beast to strike*
Dancing Ruby Wings: *finishes eating and begins to wipe her blade clean*
Zenleigha: *lays the kiddies down in the ir sacs on the grass*
Maylin: *looks at him "Eww, eight eyes. No thanks"*
Maylin: I told you *looks to Endless Chase* you're accusing me of being a traitor, aren't you?
Endless Chase: *Stares*
Zenleigha: *combs through onyx's hair, braiding it into three designed sections*
Maylin: Would you rather I took the boat and left then? Went back up to Jade and from there, where ever? no, no you'd rather see me walk that journey, wouldn't you?
Zenleigha: *three tiny spirals that create a tiny cap of hair that will stay out of the way rather than get tangled*
Endless Chase: *Stares...menacingly*
Dancing Ruby Wings: *yawns, laying in the grass, bored that the threat is gone*
Endless Chase: ((Aaahhh! An asymetrical princess leigha))
Dancing Ruby Wings: [*dies*]
Story Teller: Foam sits against the far wall, watching everyone else's actions
Maylin: I thought so. *sighs and stands, slinging on her pack* well if you decide that killing me is better idea, be kind enough to make it a quick death. *heads back towards the entrance of the hiding spot*
Endless Chase: *Turns into a spider and follows*
Story Teller: Your path to the building is without obstacle
Story Teller: And soon, you stand in front of it
Maylin: *looks around, knowing that just because she can't see him doesn't mean he isn't there* the cover is probably already blown thanks to you. There's no point in keeping up with this, let's get them so we can continue treasure hunting
Maylin: until Alaethis gets here
Endless Chase: *Turns into a human*
Story Teller: Most of the wall is rubble, but there is one standing section with a set of metal doors in it
Endless Chase: Do you really think you deserve our trust, Maylin?
Story Teller: Dragon King: ssssssssSSSSssss...sssssSSSSSssss...
Story Teller: Ember & Onyx: zzzzzzZZZZZZZZzzzzzzz
Maylin: In all honesty, no, but right now I'm all you've got by way of warning now aren't I?
Zenleigha: I wonder what message May has for the Diamyo
Maylin: So you have two choices
Dancing Ruby Wings: *groans* I hate politics
Endless Chase: Let me ask this another way.
Endless Chase: Do you want our trust?
Maylin: You can abandon me up here and go to the others, or you can take me down to the others where there will be other people watching me so if I am a traitor I will be taken down quickly
Maylin: as for your question, yes, yes I want the trust of my comrades
Zenleigha: I know but they're a necessary evil
Maylin: *waits for the blow*
Endless Chase): I have no intention of letting you near them.
Zenleigha: for our survival
Endless Chase: Until you prove yourself to me.
Maylin: And how can I do that?
Endless Chase: Take that little knife and slit your palm.
Dancing Ruby Wings: *traces patterns in the grass* thats why i leave it to people who like it....it bores me
Endless Chase: Then all you need to do is stand there for a moment.
Story Teller: The grass cleans the blood right off your palm
Story Teller: It tickles
Maylin: *scowls* I'm not joining your little pack thing, Endless Chase.
Maylin: You've offered before and I said now
Maylin: no*
Endless Chase: Then you're not going near them.
Dancing Ruby Wings: *giggles* this grass is fun
Zenleigha: *nods* i don't like it so much as don't want to die
Zenleigha: oh??
Zenleigha: *looks down at the grass*
Dancing Ruby Wings: It cleans things
Zenleigha: neat!
Dancing Ruby Wings: It cleaned Ember when we were down here earlier...
Dancing Ruby Wings: and its super-soft
Zenleigha: hmm
Zenleigha: *strips down onyx and lays her on the grass*
Dancing Ruby Wings: [CLEAN BABY}
Story Teller: Onyx: zzzzzzzzzzzz...mumblemumble..zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Zenleigha: *strips down herself and rolls in the grass*
Zenleigha: i haven't had a bath since ...... well since Lookshy
Zenleigha: not a real one
Zenleigha: *wrinkles her nose*
Dancing Ruby Wings: *raises a brow and looks away* Once a barbarian......always a barbarian.....HONESTLY Zen
Zenleigha: I want to be clean!
Story Teller: Foam grins
Zenleigha: you should try it
Maylin: You magnificent asshole....you say that Zen and I wanted to be controlling, you rebelled against the Council and in the end you are just as bad as they are! Damn you! *leaves the wall and heads back to the city proper*
Zenleigha: who knoes the next time we'll have a tub
Zenleigha: really
Dancing Ruby Wings: NO decency at all!
Dancing Ruby Wings: *flicks chewy flesh bits off her armor* No thanks...
Zenleigha: oh so you'd prefer to be the smelly kid in the group?
Zenleigha: where is all your city propriety now?
Dancing Ruby Wings: *playfully flicks her off* I'd like to keep my clothes ON, thank you
Story Teller: Foam: "You should try it, Ruby-san," it says half-mockingly, gesturing to Zen. "It looks quite fun."
Dancing Ruby Wings: *smirks at Foam* Nice try buddy
Zenleigha: Oh, so you prefer lizard goo stuck to you
Maylin : *draws her dirk, looking around*
Zenleigha: *has laid out her clothes so they get clean*
Story Teller: Foam grins back at Ruby, and remains where he is
Dancing Ruby Wings: *sticks her tongue out, rolling over in the grass with her armor still on til her armor sparkles*
Story Teller: And oh, does it sparkle
Dancing Ruby Wings: *sits back up and looks at both of them* HA!
Zenleigha: you still smell *pinches her nose*
Dancing Ruby Wings: I'm sure in your old village you didnt bathe for weeks, it wont be hard adjusting again *winks*
Maylin: ENdless Chase, you've seperated me from my friends, you've done enough, leave me alone!
Pathian: (ok the clothes that need to be folded, are)
Story Teller: ((Zen is nekked :-P))
Endless Chase: *Stays silent and follows*
Dancing Ruby Wings: [as usual ;-)[
Story Teller: ((And there was much discussion))
Zenleigha: I have learned but evidently my teacher is a hypocrite *teases*
Zenleigha: *gets dressed*
Maylin: *doesn't move from where she is, looking every possible direction*
Pathian: (ROCK:-P)(strips and takes a grass bath)
Zenleigha: *dresses onyx*
Dancing Ruby Wings: *dies*
Dancing Ruby Wings: *hides her face in the grass, effectively washing her hair in the process*
Pathian: (:-P)
Endless Chase: *Watches her and listens*
Zenleigha: *leans back and scrubs her hair through the grass*
Zenleigha: *letting each strand become PERFECT and shiny*
Story Teller: You see nothing. Only the feeling that there are eyes on you convinces you that there is anything to your worry at all
Pathian: (gets clean and dresses again)
Dancing Ruby Wings: [your hair is not shiny enough to defeat me]
Maylin: Endless Chase if that is just you, at least have the decency to tell me, all right?
Zenleigha: ((no, but i am Exalted: Super Model))
Pathian: (but my chakrams are shiny)
Endless Chase: ((Um, he's still human shaped, and following her openly))
Maylin: ((damn you lucky people and your baths!))
Story Teller: ((Exalted: Teen Slumber Party))
Dancing Ruby Wings: [*dies horrible*]
Dancing Ruby Wings: [horribly*]
Pathian: *scouts for a couple of hundred feet down both paths*
Maylin: *enters one of the first buildings to begin searching*
Story Teller: You hear quiet, mocking laughter from the shadows of the buildings around you
Endless Chase: *Changes to comphy PJ pants (In RL)*
Endless Chase: Care to come out and play, little watchers?
Maylin: I'd rather they didn't play...
Endless Chase: My blade is hungry. It's been too long sice it's been fed.
Endless Chase: *Goes DBT*
Dancing Ruby Wings: *rolls over on her back* This is awful....i HATE hiding
Story Teller: The paths are crossed with other corridors occasionally. The lighting crystals barely work here...there are vines along the ceiling which pulse faintly, and grills in the floor that emit fresh-smelling air
Endless Chase: As am I. You see, I have quite a great appetite.
Maylin: please stop saying things like that....
Endless Chase: And one meal early in the day is not enough blood.
Pathian: *all seems well though?*
Maylin: Hayako, if that's you, just come out.
Story Teller: All seems well
Story Teller: The air shimmers, and a man appears. His skin is the color of brilliant bronze, and he has long black hair braided into three braids down his back. He is dressed in brilliant golden armor and has an enormous sword resting on his shoulder
Endless Chase: ((Aww fuck))
Dancing Ruby Wings: [???]
Maylin: *the words "bronze faction" flashes through her mind*
Story Teller: He smiles. "You called, little beast. But how much have you bitten off, I wonder?"
Pathian: (he doesnt have 4 arms does he?;))
Story Teller: ((no :-P))
Pathian: (damn)
Maylin: We don't want a fight, my lord.
Story Teller: The man smiles and gestures to EC. "He does."
Zenleigha: ((he's rash and impatient and .... and...!))
Maylin: He is simply bored...
Endless Chase: If one were to strike me, I would strike back.
Endless Chase: I don't care how strong they may be.
Maylin: my mate *smiles sweetly, lwering her dirk* he can be rash at times.
Dancing Ruby Wings: [*falls over laughing*]
Endless Chase: And she lies. There is not love in me for her.
Zenleigha: ((MATE 0.o))
Maylin: *looks at her "your WHAT?!"*
Zenleigha: ((stupid stupid))
Maylin: *glares back at EC*
Story Teller: The man laughs. "Where has your bravado gone, little beast? Have you found you dislike the taste of meat now?"
Maylin: *sheaths her dirk with a sigh* this is a pointless fight
Zenleigha: ((pssst ash...))
Dancing Ruby Wings: [?]
Story Teller: He turns to you. "There is the issue of...trespassing."
Zenleigha: ((go check your email.....))
Zenleigha: ((;-)))
Endless Chase: You are mistaken. My appetite is as large as I say it is. It was I that was stalked here.
Pathian: *heads back to the room with the ladies*
Zenleigha: How's it look Paethion?
Story Teller: "Ah...and you who was following her. Who hunts the hunter?"
Pathian: pretty clear
Zenleigha: good stuff
Endless Chase: I follow her because she can not be trusted.
Pathian: some vines, not a lot of light
Maylin: my lord, we did not intend to trespass...hunter? I'm not a hunter, the fariest thing from it in fact
Endless Chase: I can not allow her to put me or mine at risk.
Story Teller: "Not you, little bird. Him."
Maylin: *"Actually the more he talks the more it sounds like a marriage to me" sits to begin cleaning his paws*
Story Teller: "Your intent is not my concern, I am afraid." He smiles slightly. "This is my city."
Maylin: Then it's been you we've been looking for!
Endless Chase: And in a life long past, it was my home.
Story Teller: "That was long ago, little beast. As you can see, things are different now."
Pathian: how much longer is he going to need to sleep?
Story Teller: DK: *wakes up*
Endless Chase: Yes. This place is in ruins. The majesty that Rathess once had has been stolen from it.
Story Teller: ((;-)))
Pathian: (:-P)
Story Teller: "So it is with all things. Time drags them down into decay and sorrow."
Dancing Ruby Wings: *yawns in boredom* I can't stay here much longer or I'll go CRAZY
Zenleigha: I know that feeling
Zenleigha: *sits up*
Endless Chase: And you may feel free to keep it. This place holds nothing for me save stale memories and a stench of nostalgia.
Zenleigha: but we should wait with our friend
Maylin: *looks from EC to the King of Rathuss and back again*
Zenleigha: until he wakes up
Dancing Ruby Wings (2:07:11 AM): *points* He is awake
Pathian: he just did
Zenleigha: *turns around* so he is
Story Teller: "I thank you for your generosity, little beast. And, if that is so, I must ask you to leave." He points towards the east. "The door is that way."
Zenleigha: how are you feeling Sith-san?
Maylin: my lord, please, allow us to stay
Story Teller: Sith hisses a moment. "Better. Much better."
Endless Chase: I am not done here yet.
Maylin: if nothing else, at least allow an audience, perhaps something more formal?
Zenleigha: Good
Zenleigha: Maybe we can accompany you at least part way back
Endless Chase: I have no intention of leaving Rathess until I am ready.
Story Teller: The man shakes his head. "No, no...I really cannot accept excuses. I must ask you to leave. Now."
Zenleigha: *uses the DK sword stick to help herself up*
Maylin: *respect commanding attitude, personal essence*
Dancing Ruby Wings: *leaps to her feet* At last! Action!
Story Teller: Sith slowly gets up. His wounds are still bleeding slightly, but they look far better than they did
Zenleigha: *grins*
Endless Chase: And I told you, I am not done here yet. I am Endless Chase of the Silver Pact, and I do not act at the whim of any other man.
Maylin: My lord, I must request that you listen to our reasons for our intrustions into Rathuss. It was never our true intent to trespass, but you have made yourself difficult to find. We are seeking all those who do not wish the world
Zenleigha: here... let me... *dabs at the wounds with the poluice she made, wiping at the blood*
Maylin: shrouded in darkness to join us in the battle for Thorns on the side of Lookshy. Will you listen to our cause?
Maylin: *prays it works*
Zenleigha: *chanting as she does so, making it almost so that her voice glows as she spends a mote of essance*
Story Teller: Sith simply stands. Now that he's mostly upright, he's very tall. Topping seven feet, you think
Maylin: *"You just can't stop lying can you?"*
Story Teller: The man shakes his head. "I cannot do as you ask. This is my city, and I cannot leave it. I apologize."
Endless Chase: ((So now tha means he's looking EC in the eye((Go Forrest Folk size))))
Story Teller: He throws a glance at EC.
Endless Chase: *Stares back, showing nothing remotely like fear*
Story Teller: "If you will not leave of your own will-" he unlimbers his sword "-I'm afraid I wil have to force the issue."
Maylin: but will you send aid, or perhaps help with funding the armies with the fabled technology of Rathuss
Story Teller: He pauses, again, and looks at May. "What is in the city is mine. The city is mine. The stuggles of other powers do not affect me."
Endless Chase: ((Wait, I'm still taller. I'm in beastman form))
Maylin: It will when Creation becomes Shadowland
Story Teller: "So much the better for the rebirth of the world."
Maylin: *calls up her mark* this is the re-birth of the world, my lord. You don't seem to understand
Story Teller: He looks at it, then chuckles. The chuckling begins softly and soon he is laughing uproariously
Story Teller: Through his laughter, he points to his own forehead, where a brilliant golden sunburst flares to life
Endless Chase: Rathess was my home once, and I am entitled to see it as I will. If you feel you must force the issue... *Brings Silver Fang to bear in front of him*
Maylin: My name is Maylin,and this is Endless Chase, A Lunar...if that wasn't already obvious
Story Teller: "I must." He looks at May for a moment. "Please stay back...Maylin. This does not concern you."
Story Teller: ((We can stop here, or we can roll initiative))
Pathian: (the boys need to have a little pissing match)
Maylin: *sighs and does as she is told* Good luck, *isn't sure who she's talking to*
Endless Chase: ((19 init))
Story Teller: ((your move))
Zenleigha: ((2 am ))
Story Teller: 9(...and 2 am...))
Story Teller: ((we can do one turn and then stop?))(
Endless Chase: ((four actions, one attack, three parrys))
Endless Chase: ((Ok with me))
Maylin: ((damn cliff hangers!)
Dancing Ruby Wings (2:17:47 AM): [seriously]
Pathian: (im good till whenever i dont have class till 11:00)
Story Teller: ((I'm good at them ;-)))
Zenleigha: (( i have a french test i have to study for ))
Endless Chase: ((Spends four motes to enhance with Ferocious Biting Sword[Doubles the required successes to parry, odd success is wasted]))
Pathian: (well bah on you)
Pathian: (:-P)
Zenleigha: (( i'd not take it if i had a choice ))
Pathian: (i know)
Zenleigha: ((i'm not looking forward to it))
Maylin: (({insert phoney announcer voice} what will our heros do? Will Ruby, Zen, Pathien, Foam, and the children be safe int he tunnels below? Will Endless Chase meet his doom under the sword of the king of Rathus...Was the king just
Maylin: checking out Maylin? FInd out NExt week on Exalted: the Greek Tragdy!))
Endless Chase: ((gets ready to roll 19 dice...))
Dancing Ruby Wings: [lol]
Zenleigha: ((EXALTED: THE SOAP OPERA!))
Dancing Ruby Wings: [BWAH!]
Endless Chase: ((6 sux, requires double to defend))
Story Teller: ((down to 3))
Maylin: ((Same Exalted time, same exalted place!))
Endless Chase: ((3 on the hit?))
Story Teller: ((yes))
Endless Chase: What soak?
Story Teller: ((15))
Endless Chase: Damn...
Endless Chase: ((2 dice for damage
Endless Chase: Bah, one.
Endless Chase: ((Take that, -0 health level!))
Pathian: (plus silver fang)
Story Teller: His sword whips out even as he moves aside almost faster than thought, but you knock his sword away and bite deeply into his armor. He is not unprepared, however...
Endless Chase: ((That's right, another lethal and a -1 penalty))
Story Teller: Splits actions 4 ways, all attacks
Endless Chase: Well, here's to three parrys
Story Teller: ((7 sux on the first one))
Endless Chase: And a soak of 15 ;-)
Endless Chase: 14 dice on defense
Endless Chase: rolling...\
Endless Chase: 8 sux
Endless Chase: (whew)
Pathian: (one of my friends on campus demands that i use magic missle and attack the darkness:-P)
Story Teller: CLANG!
Story Teller: ((9 sux))
Endless Chase: ((Aww damn...
Endless Chase: Rolling 17 dice, channeling willpower through Valor for 4 extra dice for round
Maylin: *watches from the side, feeling unessecarily like a D'n'D*
Endless Chase: ((6 sux))
Endless Chase: ((pain))
Story Teller: ((2 lethal. You are being diseased...do you wish to resist?))
Endless Chase: Lethal soak 15, 12 natureal, 3 from robe
Endless Chase: Well, I allready used a charm, so can I still use infection resisting method this round?
Endless Chase: I don't know how that one works in or out of combat
Endless Chase: But yes, I do wish to resist
Story Teller: ((oh, that's right...))
Story Teller: ((well, roll Sta+resist))
Endless Chase: Rolling 13 dice...
Maylin: ((well too bad! you don't get to soak! ehehehehe! j/k))
Endless Chase: Bah, two
Endless Chase: At -1 penalty, currently
Pathian: (WOW!! you really need to let ash roll those ones for you :-P)
Story Teller: ((DIS-EASED!!))
Dancing Ruby Wings: [hahahahahahahaha]
Maylin: ((LOL))
Endless Chase: (I know, damn it)
Endless Chase: (Blarg...
Story Teller: A wave of nausea passes through you. When the man pulls back his sword for another strike, the wound is cold...and parts of it are already turning slightly black
Endless Chase: Suckage...
Story Teller: ((8 sux, third attack))
Maylin: *screams pointlessly* Stop it! Both of you!
Endless Chase: 8 sux, woo
Story Teller: CLANG
Story Teller: ((And, you can't block the last attack...))
Endless Chase: (That was only two...
Dancing Ruby Wings: [this is gonna hurt teh suxxor]
Endless Chase: Wait, never mind
Story Teller: ((Block, hit, block))
Endless Chase: That was three
Endless Chase: Suck
Maylin: ((and everyone is gripping their compie chairs....)
Zenleigha: ((yes yes it is))
Story Teller: ((8 lethal))
Dancing Ruby Wings: [><]
Endless Chase: Aww suck...
Dancing Ruby Wings: [ultimate suck]
Endless Chase: -4
Endless Chase: Blah...
Story Teller: ((roll Stamina + Resistance))
Zenleigha: ((PAIN!))
Maylin: JAKARI!
Zenleigha: ((and no one can heal you....because we don't know where you are))
Endless Chase: 7 sux
Endless Chase: ((I can heal myself, silly Jill))
Endless Chase: ((If I don't die, of course))
Story Teller: The wound is still cold and grey, but unlike the other one it at least appears to be repairing itself
