[07-30 15:50:07] <Eklem> Sherrif_Paul [test: 12] 16 18 21
[07-30 15:50:13] <Dionysus> You are all in Aldergast Prison, in a dark cell, without clothing.
[07-30 15:50:21] * Victor_Krum is now known as Matrim_Argent
[07-30 15:50:40] <Dionysus> An undeath priest of some sort is bleeding to death on the ground, as are two guardsmen.
[07-30 15:50:44] <Sherrif_Paul> I thought we were just outside the cell having whupped up on some folk.
[07-30 15:50:48] <Sherrif_Paul> ah. yes.
[07-30 15:51:00] <Dionysus> Paul has the sword of one of the guardsmen
[07-30 15:51:09] <Dionysus> A lady in robes ran off, having turned invisible.
[07-30 15:51:34] <Dionysus> The other guard, a rhineman, had a huge club that you would none of you be able to lift.
[07-30 15:51:49] <Dionysus> The hallway is dark, but the guards you incapacitated had a light.
[07-30 15:51:59] <Dionysus> From one direction, you see a faint light coming from under a doorway
[07-30 15:51:59] <Sherrif_Paul> I take the light in my other hand.
[07-30 15:52:10] <Dionysus> From the other direction, you hear the clamoring of prisoners in their cells.
[07-30 15:52:24] * arielturnip is now known as albert_
[07-30 15:52:28] <Viollca> what is the status of the wounded on the floor?
[07-30 15:52:29] <Dionysus> You can all now see Paul pretty clearly. He is proportioned like an elf where it counts.
[07-30 15:52:38] <Sherrif_Paul> hey.
[07-30 15:52:39] <Dionysus> Dying quickly, but the Reverend is tending to them.
[07-30 15:53:03] * albert_ tries to free his blanket from the rhineman
[07-30 15:53:07] <Dionysus> He tells you it will take all his concentration for the moment to deal with these.
[07-30 15:53:15] <Dionysus> It is freed, easily.
[07-30 15:53:37] <Sherrif_Paul> I go to where I hear the other prisoners clamoring.
[07-30 15:53:54] * Viollca has her back against the wall, hand over her mount, staring at the one guard who's head is bashed in
[07-30 15:54:13] <Viollca> *mouth*
[07-30 15:54:18] <Dionysus> As you walk down the hall, & can see more cells, in which prisoners are yelling & shouting.
[07-30 15:54:31] <Dionysus> s/&/you/
[07-30 15:54:39] <Sherrif_Paul> any I am particularly interested in freeing? or particularly not interested in freeing?
[07-30 15:54:45] <Dionysus> Well.
[07-30 15:55:01] <Dionysus> The reputation of this place is that it is for the worst murderers & rapists in the nation.
[07-30 15:55:08] * Matrim_Argent checks the closed door.
[07-30 15:55:16] <Dionysus> But these people are claiming to be nobles, rebels, & spies.
[07-30 15:55:38] * Viollca will help Aldo with the bodies if she can
[07-30 15:55:40] <Sherrif_Paul> do any give me credentials I particularly believe?
[07-30 15:55:57] <Dionysus> That is, they are telling you that they're important people who will reward you if you let them out. Some call for Caradonna specifically when they see her, & she verifies that they are, indeed, Red Cloaks.
[07-30 15:56:10] <Dionysus> Some are clearly aberrations, as well.
[07-30 15:56:16] <Sherrif_Paul> I see to those Carradonna vouches for.
[07-30 15:56:34] * albert_ will start toward Paul to see if he can help
[07-30 15:56:55] <Dionysus> Two aberrations & one that looks human, named Macey, Askasi, & Naivar, respectively, are the ones she can vouch for.
[07-30 15:57:02] <albert_> (Do you free the aberrations too?)
[07-30 15:57:09] <albert_> (nevermind)
[07-30 15:57:17] <Dionysus> There are other aberrations besides the ones he just freed.
[07-30 15:57:28] <Sherrif_Paul> I squint. "Sir Matrim?"
[07-30 15:57:34] <Matrim_Argent> Is it possible to listen at the door over the sound?
[07-30 15:57:40] * Matrim_Argent is not with you.
[07-30 15:57:41] <Dionysus> The door with the light? Yes.
[07-30 15:57:55] <Sherrif_Paul> I go to where Matrim is.
[07-30 15:58:07] <albert_> at a door to another aberration"Sherrif, these men."
[07-30 15:58:10] <Dionysus> Apparently, Matrim is listening at the door from whence light is coming.
[07-30 15:58:24] <Sherrif_Paul> I wait until he acknowledges me.
[07-30 15:58:36] <Dionysus> [neal's finding his char. sheet]
[07-30 15:58:49] <Sherrif_Paul> (ah. good idea. I should do the same...)
[07-30 15:59:31] <Dionysus> Beyond the door, Matrim, you hear movement of indistinct nature.
[07-30 16:00:08] * Matrim_Argent looks up after a moment. "Yes?"
[07-30 16:00:38] <Sherrif_Paul> "There are prisoners here claiming to be nobles. Would you by any chance be able to tell if they're here wrongly as we are?"
[07-30 16:01:03] <Matrim_Argent> "If they're local, I should recognize them."
[07-30 16:01:31] <Sherrif_Paul> "Thanks. I'll be over there."
[07-30 16:01:40] <albert_> "_Sherrif_"
[07-30 16:01:44] <Sherrif_Paul> I go to Albert. "Okay. What about these?"
[07-30 16:01:52] <albert_> "They need to be freed."
[07-30 16:01:59] <Sherrif_Paul> "You know them?"
[07-30 16:01:59] <albert_> (wait.
[07-30 16:02:09] <albert_> Billy I aasked them why they are there)
[07-30 16:02:12] <Dionysus> Caradonna says, "They could be useful in helping us escape."
[07-30 16:02:23] * Matrim_Argent will take a moment to look into the cells.
[07-30 16:02:27] <Dionysus> If you ask them, they tell you they're there because they're aberrations.
[07-30 16:02:52] <Dionysus> Matrim, you recognize a few nobles. One, a mutant named Mysoner, is a notorious thief as well as a former noble.
[07-30 16:02:54] <Sherrif_Paul> I take Carradonna and Albert at theri word and free them
[07-30 16:02:54] <albert_> "No. But they are inprisoned for no fault of their own."
[07-30 16:03:47] <Dionysus> Three of the aberrations are named Tag, Murrem, & Sawyer, & are infamous safebreakers.
[07-30 16:03:55] <Dionysus> And they tell you so.
[07-30 16:04:20] <Dionysus> But they also tell you that they can use those skills to help you escape.
[07-30 16:04:27] <albert_> "Albert. Entertainer." he shakes hands
[07-30 16:04:34] <Dionysus> They each shake your hand.
[07-30 16:04:49] <albert_> "And writer."
[07-30 16:05:04] <Dionysus> They nod at that. All of them are naked.
[07-30 16:05:09] <Dionysus> All the prisoners, that is.
[07-30 16:05:24] * Matrim_Argent promises those he know who're of better reputation than Mysoner help escaping.
[07-30 16:05:35] <Matrim_Argent> Knows. Plural.
[07-30 16:06:04] * albert_ will offer a blanket to someone if they want ti
[07-30 16:06:19] <Sherrif_Paul> I'll help Matrim spring the ones he vouches for.
[07-30 16:06:24] <Dionysus> As you're letting people free, you hear a strange screeching noise coming from above. The sounds of gears & wheels & machinery in general funnels down to you.
[07-30 16:06:25] * Matrim_Argent would also ask them if they've seen where confiscated items were taken.
[07-30 16:06:38] <Viollca> (one sec, can't find my character sheet)
[07-30 16:06:41] <Dionysus> Inhuman screams reach your ears.
[07-30 16:06:53] <Sherrif_Paul> what kind of inhuman?
[07-30 16:07:06] <Dionysus> One of the prisoners indicate the vaults are right next tot he torture cahmbers, & gestures to the doorway with the light coming through
[07-30 16:07:15] <Dionysus> Unnatural screams, rather.
[07-30 16:07:23] <Dionysus> Strange, nerve-rattling screams
[07-30 16:07:30] <Matrim_Argent> "Who is in there now?"
[07-30 16:07:37] <Dionysus> The other prisoners get fearful looks in their eyes
[07-30 16:07:37] <Sherrif_Paul> sighs harslhy. "I think we better break that up."
[07-30 16:07:43] <Sherrif_Paul> walks toward that door.
[07-30 16:07:50] <Dionysus> One of the Red Cloaks says, "Probably just the White Duke."
[07-30 16:07:50] * Viollca jolts upright hearing the screams
[07-30 16:08:09] <Matrim_Argent> "Who?"
[07-30 16:08:15] <Sherrif_Paul> on my way I point to Carradonna. "You're deputized. get me a posse."
[07-30 16:08:25] <Dionysus> "Not sure his name, only comes in when someone important has been brought in."
[07-30 16:08:37] <Dionysus> Caradonna looks at you, Paul, then looks to Albert, questioningly.
[07-30 16:08:59] <Dionysus> Dionysus says to Matrim, "What now, Sir?"
[07-30 16:09:24] * albert_ shrugs abit flabbergasted
[07-30 16:09:32] <Matrim_Argent> "Clearly we must try to overpower this White Duke. Do any of you know of his abilities?"
[07-30 16:09:46] <albert_> "We have no weapons."
[07-30 16:09:49] <Dionysus> Caradonna says, "Captain?" to Albert.
[07-30 16:10:00] <albert_> (that was to Caradonna and Paul)
[07-30 16:10:19] <Sherrif_Paul> I listen at that door.
[07-30 16:10:39] <Dionysus> Naivar, the human looking Red Cloak tells Matrim, "Not sure, but he talks to the Archduchess like he's better than her, even though he's only a duke, so he must be something special."
[07-30 16:10:44] * albert_ looks even more flabbergasted and says "All right?" a bit uncertainly
[07-30 16:11:02] <Dionysus> You hear footsteps beyond the door, Paul, & someone says from beyond the door, "Identify yourself."
[07-30 16:11:18] <Dionysus> Caradonna nods to Albert, then speaks softly to some of the prisoners.
[07-30 16:11:22] * Matrim_Argent frowns, as that sounds rather bad.
[07-30 16:11:24] <Sherrif_Paul> was it clearly directed at the door, or to someone internal?
[07-30 16:11:37] <Dionysus> It was clearly directed at the door.
[07-30 16:12:21] <Sherrif_Paul> "Just patrolling sir. Thought I caught wind of something. Nothing to report."
[07-30 16:12:26] <Matrim_Argent> To Naivar: "Thank you."
[07-30 16:12:32] * Matrim_Argent turns to watch the door.
[07-30 16:12:38] <Sherrif_Paul> I stand ready.
[07-30 16:12:47] <Dionysus> "If you've let Sir Matrim Argent out of his cell yet, tell him I wish to speak with him."
[07-30 16:13:02] <Sherrif_Paul> "I'll pass it along."
[07-30 16:13:14] <Sherrif_Paul> I turn to Matrim. "You heard that, sir?"
[07-30 16:13:41] <Sherrif_Paul> the advantage to being naked is you've already got it out, so you might as well swing it and see what you hit.
[07-30 16:13:44] * Matrim_Argent frowns, then nods and begins to step forward. "Perhaps there is a chance yet that this might be settled without more violence."
[07-30 16:13:57] <Sherrif_Paul> "Yes sir."
[07-30 16:14:35] <Matrim_Argent> "I will attempt to give warning if aught seems amiss."
[07-30 16:14:51] <Sherrif_Paul> "Yes sir."
[07-30 16:15:46] <Dionysus> The voice from beyond the door says, "Matrim? This is Duke Merriander Hyrase. I'm your only chance of escape. When I open the door, I hope you won't be foolish enough to attack me."
[07-30 16:16:39] * Matrim_Argent pauses in mid reaching for doorknob, then stands at attention in front of the door.
[07-30 16:17:40] <Dionysus> The door opens & a thin, handsome man in white stands there, with three swords, one in his hand, two on his belt. The one in his hand is being held as an offering.
[07-30 16:17:46] <Dionysus> Matrim, you recognize your family sword.
[07-30 16:18:17] * Matrim_Argent bows and murmurs, "You Grace," before accepting the sword.
[07-30 16:18:38] <Dionysus> "We'll be needing that sword's power on our way out. Is anyone else here skilled at swordplay?"
[07-30 16:19:35] <Sherrif_Paul> "Your Grace." bow slightly. "I've had some training."
[07-30 16:19:35] * Viollca bows her haed a bit and covers herself on seeing Matrim's reaction. She's still eyeing the stranger carefully thoughn
[07-30 16:19:49] <Dionysus> Merriander hands you one of the swords from his belt, Paul.
[07-30 16:19:50] * Matrim_Argent indicates Paul and Caradonna. "These two have both shown skill."
[07-30 16:19:53] <albert_> "No. Juggling knives is more my thing."
[07-30 16:20:01] * albert_ has never juggled knives
[07-30 16:20:14] * Matrim_Argent attempts to act as though he's fully clothed.
[07-30 16:20:15] <Sherrif_Paul> I hand the sword I took from the guard to Carradonna.
[07-30 16:20:32] <Sherrif_Paul> You'd never know I knew I was naked from the way I'm acting.
[07-30 16:21:08] <Dionysus> The Duke says, "Sir Matrim, you & your friends have a key ring from the Key-Keeper?"
[07-30 16:21:31] <Matrim_Argent> "Yes, Your Grace."
[07-30 16:21:57] <Dionysus> "Then, by all means, go through here to the armory & take whatever else you need or want. Evidence lockers are within as well, so all of your things are here."
[07-30 16:22:18] * Matrim_Argent thanks the Duke and starts that way.
[07-30 16:22:18] <Dionysus> He indicates a room on the other end of the torture chamber (which is devoid of victims or workers)
[07-30 16:22:23] <Sherrif_Paul> "Your Grace, may I be so bold as to ask what's going on?"
[07-30 16:22:39] <Viollca> nervously to Dioysus "What were those screams?"
[07-30 16:22:48] <Dionysus> "You seem to have caused the Archduchess some alarm, & she has unleashed the undead guards of the prison, as well as activated the maze."
[07-30 16:22:51] <albert_> quietly to Caradonna "Who is that?"
[07-30 16:23:04] <Dionysus> "If we dawdle, we'll likely be drained of our lifeforce or eaten alive."
[07-30 16:23:17] <Sherrif_Paul> nods. "So noted. Then let's not."
[07-30 16:23:28] <Sherrif_Paul> and I follow Matrim.
[07-30 16:23:37] * Viollca stares at the Duke in horror. "No..."
[07-30 16:23:43] <albert_> "Eaten?"
[07-30 16:23:55] <albert_> not really expecting an answer
[07-30 16:24:32] <Dionysus> The Duke gestures for everyone to go back to the armory.
[07-30 16:24:37] <Dionysus> He seems impatient.
[07-30 16:24:45] * albert_ absentlyputs a hand protectively around his middle
[07-30 16:24:48] <Dionysus> Caradonna tells Albert that she doesn't know who that is.
[07-30 16:25:01] <Viollca> does everyone go? What are Aldo, Dionysus and Gas doing?
[07-30 16:25:02] * albert_ "Oh." and steps forward
[07-30 16:25:12] <Sherrif_Paul> I went with Matrim.
[07-30 16:25:22] <Dionysus> Dionysus & Gas go. Aldo is taking care of the dying, but tells you to grab his hammer & clothes.
[07-30 16:25:42] <Sherrif_Paul> If there's suitable armor, I take some as well as my stuff.
[07-30 16:25:59] <Sherrif_Paul> I make sure it doesn't belong to anyone here first, though.
[07-30 16:26:01] <Viollca> dice d2
[07-30 16:26:02] <Eklem> 1 | [d2=1]
[07-30 16:26:10] <Dionysus> There doesn't seem to be much in the way of decent armor that fits you, Paul.
[07-30 16:26:19] <Sherrif_Paul> then I don't take any.
[07-30 16:26:23] <Viollca> "O-ok," Viollca heads along as well
[07-30 16:26:29] * albert_ puts on his clothes and asks Caradonna to reccomend him something when he approaches the weapons racks
[07-30 16:26:39] <Dionysus> "Take a sword," she says.
[07-30 16:26:53] <albert_> "Any one?"
[07-30 16:26:57] * Viollca grabs her clothes, Aldo's clothes, and *anything* that looks holy
[07-30 16:27:00] * Matrim_Argent recovers his things and belts on the sword.
[07-30 16:27:01] <albert_> as he reaches for the closest one
[07-30 16:27:13] <Dionysus> "That one looks about your size." She points to a normal broadsword.
[07-30 16:27:49] * albert_ picks it up and hefts it in a manner that looks right
[07-30 16:27:50] <Dionysus> There are a few random holy symbols that won't do you any good.
[07-30 16:28:02] <Dionysus> Though you probably don't know that they're useless.
[07-30 16:28:02] <Viollca> I grab all of them
[07-30 16:29:19] <albert_> "Anything else?" he asks Caradonna.
[07-30 16:29:29] <Dionysus> "Only if you know how to use them."
[07-30 16:29:45] <Dionysus> Dionysus looks around frantically
[07-30 16:29:46] <Sherrif_Paul> I'm going to consult with Matrim. "Okayyy...how likely is it I made a grave error fighting those guards?"
[07-30 16:29:52] <Dionysus> Until he finds a violin, that is in pieces.
[07-30 16:29:56] <albert_> "Ah well...." he grins a bit sheepishly
[07-30 16:30:02] <Dionysus> Dionysus begins to sob.
[07-30 16:30:05] * Viollca is looking through the armory, looking frantically and muttering in another language
[07-30 16:30:13] <Dionysus> Merriander goes & puts a hand on his shoulder & speaks to him softly.
[07-30 16:30:17] <albert_> "Hey. It'll be ok."
[07-30 16:30:26] * albert_ leans down toward Dionysus
[07-30 16:30:56] * Matrim_Argent frowns. "I do not know. It is very possible that they would not have been content with speech."
[07-30 16:30:59] <Dionysus> Dionysus puts the broken violin aside & says, simply, "I will have to find Panch when we leave."
[07-30 16:31:21] <Viollca> "Uncle Dy, you can always get Panch to make another. Take this."
[07-30 16:31:32] * Viollca hands him a holy symbol of music
[07-30 16:31:32] <Dionysus> He takes it. What is it?
[07-30 16:31:39] <Dionysus> He smiles & thanks you.
[07-30 16:31:54] <Dionysus> (Oddly enough, that means you gave him a musical instrument)
[07-30 16:32:05] <Sherrif_Paul> "Well, I'm inclined to believe that if they were on our side they should have identified themselves,"
[07-30 16:32:16] <Sherrif_Paul> "but with all this conspiracy crap going on, I'm not so sure."
[07-30 16:33:05] <Matrim_Argent> "Er. I feel I should point out that they were not given the chance to identify themselves."
[07-30 16:33:16] * Viollca is muttering and crossing herself.
[07-30 16:33:21] <albert_> Realizing he's as ready as he'll get, "Are we going to go get eaten, or what?"
[07-30 16:33:23] <Sherrif_Paul> nods. "Yeah. and that's what worries me."
[07-30 16:33:47] <Sherrif_Paul> "Not my best planning."
[07-30 16:34:10] * Viollca grabs a torch if she can as well.
[07-30 16:34:11] * Matrim_Argent lays a hand on Paul's shoulder. "Our allies are unlikely to have been working with the church of Undeath."

[07-30 16:34:26] <Sherrif_Paul> points. "Point."
[07-30 16:34:36] * Viollca shudders when you say "Undeath."
[07-30 16:35:12] <Dionysus> Duke Merriander indicates that the way out is back past the cells, & that you should all get going. He calls for Matrim & whoever has the keys & Paul to walk up front with him. Aldo locks the incapacitated guards & undeath priest in a cell & is now standing in the midst of the group, praying, saying he'll try to keep the undead at bay.
[07-30 16:35:44] <Sherrif_Paul> I obey.
[07-30 16:36:02] <Viollca> ... and proceedes to attach holy symbols to her clothing. She stands as close to Aldo as she can get, eyes darting left and right.
[07-30 16:36:04] * Matrim_Argent gladly does so as well.
[07-30 16:36:09] <Viollca> what is Gas doing?
[07-30 16:36:20] * albert_ follows while trying to figure out how best to hold his sword
[07-30 16:36:33] <Matrim_Argent> ( try the blunt end )
[07-30 16:36:41] <albert_> (thanks)
[07-30 16:36:49] <Dionysus> Gas is dressed in clothes too big for him, carrying a dagger, & looking nervous.
[07-30 16:36:49] <Matrim_Argent> ( 
[07-30 16:55:12] * Viollca would be close to Aldo, but if it's convenient to loose him here go ahead
[07-30 16:55:14] <Dionysus> Actually, no, the three Red Cloaks are still with you.
[07-30 16:55:26] <Dionysus> Aldo will be neither loosed nor lost.
[07-30 16:55:35] <Sherrif_Paul> that was a joke about the color of their uniforms.
[07-30 16:55:41] <Dionysus> i know, i just wanted to make sure ye knew
[07-30 16:55:43] <Dionysus> Anyway
[07-30 16:55:45] <Sherrif_Paul> heh.
[07-30 16:56:01] * Viollca sticks out her tounge at the gm
[07-30 16:56:07] <Dionysus> The Duke insists you keep moving, as staying in one place will only make you targets for traps or undead.
[07-30 16:56:50] * albert_ is taking cues from Caradonna, so he didn't stop unless she did
[07-30 16:57:08] * Matrim_Argent is not happy with the loss of people, but sees not many options, so follows the Duke.
[07-30 16:57:30] <Dionysus> As you begin moving again, you come to an area with several souls floating toward you. Roll willpower twice, everyone.

[07-30 16:58:59] <Dionysus> The same three also are filled with fear upon seeing the ghosts.

[07-30 16:59:37] <Dionysus> Caradonna & Gas & Dionysus have smilar reactions.
[07-30 16:59:50] <Dionysus> Some of the prisoners run for it, but most just retch
[07-30 17:00:13] <Dionysus> The souls don't seem to be coming near you though, which is probably due to Aldo's prayers.
[07-30 17:00:33] <Dionysus> They are, however, still in the way when you quit vomiting.
[07-30 17:00:49] <Dionysus> And the terror does not seem to be subsiding.

[07-30 17:02:25] <Sherrif_Paul> apparently he's at home where he is.
[07-30 17:02:49] <Sherrif_Paul> Okay. what do we know about ghosts and/or forsaken?
[07-30 17:03:04] <Dionysus> Aldo indicates that he's got other things he's holding back at the moment, & that someone else should take care of these. You probably don't even know what they're called, Paul.
[07-30 17:03:19] <Dionysus> The Duke urges those of you with weapons to try attacking.
[07-30 17:03:23] <Viollca> what are they doing? Are they moving towards us? trying to reach us? Just in the way?
[07-30 17:03:26] <Dionysus> He himself moves forward to do so.

[07-30 17:35:49] <albert_> what does it look like?
[07-30 17:35:56] <Sherrif_Paul> Viollca be jammin'.
[07-30 17:36:00] <Dionysus> You just see Viollca look at the soul & it vanishes.
[07-30 17:36:22] <Viollca> Do I still see it?
[07-30 17:36:32] * albert_ stops in mid-movement toward Paul
[07-30 17:36:39] <Viollca> do I glow like soul magic?
[07-30 17:36:54] <Dionysus> If you cast anything
[07-30 17:37:06] <Dionysus> You don't see anything, but you can feel it within you.
[07-30 17:37:18] <Dionysus> Because you're not letting it control you, you don't see yourself from outside.
[07-30 17:38:13] <Dionysus> Basically, you can either let it go, which will resume the battle, or hold it & use it, which means you risk its taking over, or Aldo can turn it while it is in you, & all will be well.
[07-30 17:39:33] * Viollca has her eyes shut tight and her shoulders raised. "Reverend, please..."
[07-30 17:39:52] <Viollca> "I can't hold it much longer."
[07-30 17:39:59] <AldoMurgen> Can I tell that it's still there? Okay then.

[07-30 17:40:58] <Dionysus> Viollca, you feel it leave.
[07-30 17:41:12] <Sherrif_Paul> Yeah. Paul just stares at her.
[07-30 17:41:22] * Matrim_Argent looks at Viollca as well. "Are you alright?"
[07-30 17:41:41] * Viollca exhales deeply and rubs her arms like she is cold. "Yes, I'm fine. Are you alright Paul?"
[07-30 17:41:46] <Sherrif_Paul> "It...was about to attack me."
[07-30 17:41:50] <Sherrif_Paul> "You stopped it."
[07-30 17:42:14] * albert_ is still staring dumbfounded at her as if he'd never seen her before
[07-30 17:42:14] * Viollca smiles weakly. "You would have done the same."
[07-30 17:42:19] <Dionysus> Merriander looks appraisingly at Viollca.

[07-30 17:43:11] <Dionysus> Merriander says to Viollca, "Are you a medium?"
[07-30 17:43:32] * AldoMurgen stares wearily at the conversation surrounding Viollca.
[07-30 17:43:52] <Viollca> "Yes, I can talk to the spirits. I've never done that before though, I didn't know if it would work."
[07-30 17:44:01] <Dionysus> Caradonna leans down to Aldo, "Glad you're back with us. We could use your blessings on our weapons."
[07-30 17:44:16] <albert_> holds upa finger, "A what?"
[07-30 17:44:18] <Viollca> (rather, Yes, m'lord,)
[07-30 17:44:56] <albert_> again this is asked without really expecting an answer
[07-30 17:44:59] <Dionysus> Merriander nods. "You talk to ghosts. Spirits are something else. I've heard that those who do it are called 'mediums.' It's very useful for us right now."
[07-30 17:45:20] <Dionysus> "Will you stay up front with us?"
[07-30 17:45:36] <Viollca> "If you wish, m'lord."
[07-30 17:45:51] * Viollca swallows a lump
[07-30 17:45:51] <Dionysus> "Stay behind Sir Argent. Let's get moving again."
[07-30 17:46:45] <Dionysus> You continue moving, I assume?
[07-30 17:46:48] * Viollca gives Paul a scared look before she moves ahead of him.
[07-30 17:46:49] <Viollca> yes
[07-30 17:46:51] <Sherrif_Paul> am I still depressed and afraid?
[07-30 17:46:59] <Dionysus> No, the fear, depression, & vomiting has stopped.
[07-30 17:47:05] * albert_ watches agog as Viollca moves to the front, finally catches himself and gets next to Caradonna again
[07-30 17:47:11] * AldoMurgen rolls his eyes amicably and makes more mumbled prayers, to bless the group's weapons.
[07-30 17:47:12] * Matrim_Argent bows slightly to Viollca and positions to protect her.
[07-30 17:47:16] <Sherrif_Paul> I take a deep breath to steady myself again as we move.
[07-30 17:47:19] <Dionysus> Also, Paul, your will & faith are restored after a few minutes.
[07-30 17:47:44] <Dionysus> I won't make you roll to bless weapons. Everyone but Paul, Matrim, & Merriander now have life-blessed weapons.
[07-30 17:49:20] <Dionysus> As you continue through the maze, it shifts again, & a few more prisoners get sealed off from you. You're now down to the ones I've named & yourselves.
[07-30 17:50:02] <Sherrif_Paul> I say "Tighten up ranks back there! Keep hold of the person's shoudler in front of you!"
[07-30 17:50:27] <Dionysus> Merriander says, "Sound advice," & nods to Matrim to take his shoulder.
[07-30 17:50:40] <Dionysus> So, Merriander is in the lead, then Matrim, then...?
[07-30 17:50:43] <Sherrif_Paul> I take Matrim's. "With your permission sir."
[07-30 17:50:50] * albert_ grabs a shoulder with his free hand
[07-30 17:50:52] <Viollca> (then Viollca?)
[07-30 17:50:58] <Matrim_Argent> ( Viollca's right behind Mat. )
[07-30 17:51:06] <Matrim_Argent> ( I thought. )
[07-30 17:51:13] * AldoMurgen places a meaty hand on Albert's shoulder, let's say.
[07-30 17:51:13] <Sherrif_Paul> (oh. then I take Viollca's.)
[07-30 17:51:39] * albert_ is behind caradonna if there's only room for single file
[07-30 17:51:40] * Viollca reaches up to Matrim's shoulder and glances behind her.
[07-30 17:51:52] <Dionysus> Gas has his hands on Aldo's shoulder; Dionysus on Gas's. Caradonna is in front of Albert, & she takes Paul's shoulder.
[07-30 17:52:15] <Sherrif_Paul> it's like the setup to a logic puzzle.
[07-30 17:52:20] <Dionysus> Behind Dionysus are the other prisoners: Mysoner, Naivar, Macey, Askasi, Tag, Murrem, & Sawyer.
[07-30 17:52:46] <Dionysus> They're keeping their mouths shut, looking terrified.
[07-30 17:53:10] * Matrim_Argent glances back and blushes slightly, then keeps his eyes ahead.
[07-30 17:53:23] <Dionysus> You come to an area of the maze that is made of black stone & metal. Merriander says to you all, "Put away your weapons, so their blessings & enchantments remain until we get in a fight."
[07-30 17:53:35] <Sherrif_Paul> I do so.
[07-30 17:53:55] * albert_ has no scabbard, Can I put it in my pouch?
[07-30 17:53:56] * Viollca pockets some of her charms
[07-30 17:53:58] * Matrim_Argent neatly sheathes his sword.
[07-30 17:54:00] <Dionysus> (yes)
[07-30 17:54:18] * albert_ reaches under his shirt, and his sword is gone
[07-30 17:54:33] <AldoMurgen> Did we recover any of our possessions?
[07-30 17:54:45] * Viollca gave you your clothes and hammer
[07-30 17:54:47] <Dionysus> You recovered all of them
[07-30 17:55:05] * AldoMurgen covers his hammer under his robe to the best of his ability.
[07-30 17:55:05] <Dionysus> Except Gas, who opted to leave his rags behind in favor of better clothes
[07-30 17:55:25] <AldoMurgen> s/robe/cloak/
[07-30 17:55:41] <albert_> will that work?
[07-30 17:56:00] <Dionysus> (yes, but you have no reason to knwo that)
[07-30 17:56:28] <albert_> after putting his hand under his shirt, albert looks slightly confused for a moment
[07-30 17:56:37] <albert_> (ok)
[07-30 17:56:52] <Dionysus> As you enter the void-endowed section of the maze, it becomes harder to see.
[07-30 17:57:06] <albert_> he quickly grabs caradonna's shoulder again though
[07-30 17:57:30] * Viollca holds her torch higher to compensate

[07-30 18:00:20] <Dionysus> Matrim, you feel Viollca slow behind you. Paul, Viollca has slowed ahead of you.
[07-30 18:00:37] <Sherrif_Paul> "What's wrong?"

[07-30 18:01:36] <Sherrif_Paul> "What did you see?" looking back at her eyes.
[07-30 18:01:40] <Dionysus> Something vaguely human in shape shambles forward.

[07-30 18:07:26] * albert_ is still handling it like a club

[07-30 18:09:16] <Dionysus> The magic on your blade is not blocked as you hit the beast. You get +3 for electrical damage on stun & wound. so str+5+3.

[07-30 18:10:27] <Sherrif_Paul> let him put that in his blunt and smoke it.
[07-30 18:10:31] <Sherrif_Paul> yeah. I said blunt.
[07-30 18:10:45] <Dionysus> The electricity striking the body of the anima apparently reacted to the void energy in it violently. It explodes into large chunks
[07-30 18:10:55] <Viollca> (when did you get a magic blade?)
[07-30 18:10:58] <Matrim_Argent> Eew.
[07-30 18:11:05] <albert_> (so that whole sword thing might have seemed strange to all of you)
[07-30 18:11:12] <Sherrif_Paul> (I was handed one by il duce.
[07-30 18:11:33] <Viollca> (noted)
[07-30 18:11:50] * albert_ reaches under his shirt and wipes gore off his face with a red silk scarf
[07-30 18:12:05] * Viollca shirks away at the chunks and wipes herself off frantically
[07-30 18:12:17] <Dionysus> Merriander just nods at the dead thing & begins moving forward.
[07-30 18:12:26] * albert_ will hand her one up the line
[07-30 18:12:26] <Sherrif_Paul> I fall back into place.
[07-30 18:12:36] <albert_> it is yellow
[07-30 18:12:42] * Matrim_Argent looks at Albert for a moment, decides this isn't the time to worry about it, and follows Merriander.
[07-30 18:13:32] <Viollca> "That, what did that?" to Paul as we keep moving?
[07-30 18:14:17] <Sherrif_Paul> "I'm...not exactly sure. I was handed this sword by the Duke."
[07-30 18:15:01] * albert_ keeps his sword out
[07-30 18:15:27] <Dionysus> Merriander glances back. "That sword was once the magical sword used by the Archduchess Corella, who was recently assassinated. The man who had it was arrested & brought here.
That's why I was here--to question him. I felt it best to arm someone with it, as its magical properties might be useful to us in our escape. If we get out alive, you can keep it, for all I care."
[07-30 18:16:08] <Sherrif_Paul> "Oh...thank you." Does the name of the Archduchess of Corella ring a bell?
[07-30 18:16:18] <Sherrif_Paul> as in we just saw her at a slaving camp?
[07-30 18:16:22] <Dionysus> She was the head of the Green Cloaks
[07-30 18:16:24] <Dionysus> Yep
[07-30 18:16:44] <Sherrif_Paul> "Sir...When was she assassinated?"
[07-30 18:17:24] <Dionysus> "Six weeks or so ago. At about the same time as you were taken prisoner."
[07-30 18:17:45] <albert_> "She died? I thought I'd imagined that." in a whisper to caradonna
[07-30 18:17:57] <Dionysus> "Though you might not realize it, given how I understand you were all brought in."
[07-30 18:18:19] * Matrim_Argent just keeps his eyes forward.
[07-30 18:18:19] <albert_> "How was that then?"
[07-30 18:18:27] <Dionysus> "Under the control of a powerful psionist."
[07-30 18:18:30] <Sherrif_Paul> "Yeah. I'm a little hazy about that night...I might have assaulted a tree, but I'm not sure."
[07-30 18:18:43] <albert_> "Oh, you did."
[07-30 18:18:53] <Sherrif_Paul> "Well it started it."
[07-30 18:18:58] <albert_> "only after dancing with it."
[07-30 18:19:29] <Dionysus> "Yes, those drugs were apprently administered to weaken you so the psionist could initially take you under control."
[07-30 18:19:29] * Viollca shudders.
[07-30 18:20:03] <Dionysus> "Or so the Baron told me."
[07-30 18:20:36] <Viollca> "M'lord, can I be so bold as to ask about our crimes?"
[07-30 18:21:17] <Dionysus> "Association with a resistance movement, as I understand it. They said they caught you working for the infamous Red Cloaks. Except for Sir Argent, who is facing a more serious
charge."
[07-30 18:21:54] * Matrim_Argent says nothing.
[07-30 18:22:25] <Sherrif_Paul> "So then if I may ask, what is your role in it?"
[07-30 18:22:37] * albert_ puffs up defensively
[07-30 18:23:10] * Matrim_Argent looks at Paul in surprise, then looks ahead again.
[07-30 18:23:15] <Dionysus> "Like I said, I was here to questiont he alleged assassin. Being Imperial Master Inquisitor, it's my job to investigate such high profile crimes. I had nothing to do with yourcase."
[07-30 18:24:16] * Viollca looks at the back of Matrim's head, still moving forward. You might have caught her eye when you turned back to look at Paul.
[07-30 18:24:26] <Dionysus> "Though someone important must be looking out for you, if you all got put in the same cell. Normally, women are on the other side of the prison. Sir Argent's family must be pulling strings for some reason, keeping his people together."
[07-30 18:25:03] <Dionysus> The way he says it, "his people" sounds like he's using action quotes on it.
[07-30 18:25:27] <Dionysus> Or scare quotes, whatever you know them by.
[07-30 18:25:37] <Matrim_Argent> ( "Laser" )
[07-30 18:26:09] <Sherrif_Paul> "So then, if you're here on the side of the law, and we find ourselves on the contrary side, how is it that you find yourself on our side?"
[07-30 18:26:33] <Sherrif_Paul> "Not that I'm not grateful by any stretch. I'm just confused."
[07-30 18:26:36] <Dionysus> "Because I don't want to be eaten alive."
[07-30 18:27:10] <Dionysus> "The Archduchess Vannah unleashed the undead. Nothing is controlling them. The maze is turned on. Without the aide of the Reverend & Sir Argent's blade, I would probably be dead already."
[07-30 18:27:10] <Sherrif_Paul> "So whatever got activated doesn't account for you being here on their business?"
[07-30 18:27:17] <Dionysus> "Not at all."
[07-30 18:27:21] * albert_ is muttering to Caradonna, "Wrong side of he law! We've done nothing but exist!, etc."
[07-30 18:27:49] <Sherrif_Paul> nods. "That makes things interesting."
[07-30 18:28:33] <Dionysus> "It will only get more 'interesting,' I am afraid." As he says this, the maze shifts to nromal metal & stone. "Looks like we can unsheathe our weapons.
[07-30 18:28:36] <Dionysus> "
[07-30 18:28:43] <Sherrif_Paul> I do so.
[07-30 18:28:59] * Matrim_Argent does so, gripping the sword's hilt tightly.
[07-30 18:29:45] <Dionysus> As you come into the new area, you find some of the prisoners that got split off from you earlier. They're all horribly mutilated & shambling toward you. Eight in all.

[07-30 18:30:05] <Sherrif_Paul> "Yeah. Who saw this coming." raises hand.

[07-30 18:56:34] <Dionysus> You come to a part of the maze that seals off on all four sides, trapping you in a room. Merriander looks back & says, "DOn't worry. This is the elevator, if we can get it to work, we should be out of the maze."
[07-30 18:57:13] <Dionysus> "Paul, you have the keys?"
[07-30 18:57:23] <albert_> "Elevator?"
[07-30 18:57:38] <Dionysus> "A moving room."
[07-30 18:57:50] <Sherrif_Paul> "Right here."
[07-30 18:57:57] <Sherrif_Paul> I do what he's indicating.
[07-30 18:58:01] <Dionysus> "Try them on those holes in the wall."
[07-30 18:58:10] <Sherrif_Paul> are there multiple holes?
[07-30 18:58:18] <Dionysus> "Do any of you understand steam engineering? I understand that's what powers this room."
[07-30 18:58:31] <Dionysus> Three holes, each marked in a funny language.
[07-30 18:58:32] <albert_> "oh. Amazing. how does it work?"
[07-30 18:58:47] <albert_> "Like a train?"
[07-30 18:58:55] <Sherrif_Paul> "Okay. I'm guessing these markings mean good, bad, and don't ask. which one is good?"
[07-30 18:58:58] <AldoMurgen> Is the mechanism visible?
[07-30 18:59:01] <Dionysus> "I guess," he says to Albert
[07-30 18:59:09] <Dionysus> Parts of it.
[07-30 18:59:17] <Dionysus> The language, Aldo, is dwarven.
[07-30 18:59:30] <AldoMurgen> What do the letters say?
[07-30 18:59:34] <Dionysus> They say "on", "up", & "down."
[07-30 18:59:57] <Sherrif_Paul> (okay, so I was wrong. (v) )
[07-30 19:00:29] * AldoMurgen holds out a wide hand to Paul. "The key, if ye don't mind."
[07-30 19:00:36] <Sherrif_Paul> "Go ahead."
[07-30 19:00:39] <Sherrif_Paul> hand him the keys.

[07-30 19:01:07] * albert_ watches interested
[07-30 19:01:15] * AldoMurgen turns his head to more easily hear the mechanism starting, if it does so.
[07-30 19:01:20] <Dionysus> The mechanism springs into life
[07-30 19:01:30] <albert_> "I've never been on a steam operated room before." he says to Caradonna
[07-30 19:01:31] <Dionysus> Steam billows out, cogs & gears roll & rattle
[07-30 19:01:32] * Viollca jumps at the noise
[07-30 19:01:33] <Dionysus> Pipes move
[07-30 19:01:35] * Matrim_Argent watches warily.
[07-30 19:01:41] <Dionysus> The engine does its thing. Now what?
[07-30 19:01:45] * AldoMurgen pulls absently at his beard. "Up or down?"
[07-30 19:01:55] <Dionysus> Merriander says, "Up, definitely."
[07-30 19:02:04] * AldoMurgen chooses "up".
[07-30 19:02:08] <Dionysus> He sounds almost worried at the idea of going down.
[07-30 19:02:16] <Dionysus> The room begins moving upward
[07-30 19:02:49] <Viollca> (rather, gravity suddenly increases for a moment.)
[07-30 19:03:27] <Dionysus> Heavy thuds are heard on the roof of the elevator
[07-30 19:03:30] * AldoMurgen turns the keys back over to Paul. "I wonder who's shoveling the coal," he grumbles, imagining zombie engineers.
[07-30 19:03:38] * Matrim_Argent looks up.
[07-30 19:03:43] <Dionysus> And a group of shimmering images hovers into the room from below.

[07-30 19:16:00] <Dionysus> The spectre vanishes, never to be heard from again.
[07-30 19:16:25] <Dionysus> At this time, you hear the crunching of bones & splatter of bodies as the elevator reaches the top of its journey.
[07-30 19:16:27] <Sherrif_Paul> Not even Dell commercials?
[07-30 19:16:32] <Dionysus> One of the walls slides open.
[07-30 19:16:48] <Viollca> "Paul, are you ok?"
[07-30 19:16:56] <Sherrif_Paul> "yeah..."
[07-30 19:17:01] <Sherrif_Paul> "that was...just...cold."
[07-30 19:17:19] <Dionysus> Being half-ice elven, that's a new one to you, being affected so by the cold
[07-30 19:17:26] <Sherrif_Paul> yeah.
[07-30 19:17:33] * Matrim_Argent watches Paul for a moment, assessing apparent health, then nods and prepares to march again.
[07-30 19:17:56] * Viollca worries over where you got touched, then notices that a wall is gone
[07-30 19:18:38] <Sherrif_Paul> I fall back into place.
[07-30 19:18:51] <albert_> as do I
[07-30 19:18:53] <Sherrif_Paul> (and cause four rows of blocks to disappear.)
[07-30 19:19:06] <Dionysus> Merriander looks cautiously out the opening, then looks back, "It seems the coast is clear for now. The Archduchess's tower is that way," he points in a direction, "And the women's cells are that way. The exit is past the cells, but we could stop half our troubles if we go speak with the Archduchess. It's up to you, though, escape with the undead at our backs or assassinate another of the Emperor's daughters?"
[07-30 19:19:23] <Dionysus> "If the latter, I will take responsibility for it."
[07-30 19:19:48] <Sherrif_Paul> "at the moment, I serve at the pleasure of Sir Matrim Argent."
[07-30 19:19:50] * albert_ eyes widen at that
[07-30 19:20:39] * Matrim_Argent looks shocked at the idea as well. "I... Would it come to that if we spoke with her?"
[07-30 19:21:18] * Viollca starts to talk but stops when Paul starts. She looks shocked, and casts Paul a quick angry look.
[07-30 19:21:33] <albert_> "I don't want to kill her, but speaking to her is different."
[07-30 19:21:33] <Dionysus> "Yes. She's quite mad."
[07-30 19:21:57] <Matrim_Argent> "And there is no possibility of reasoning?"
[07-30 19:22:37] <Dionysus> "You could try, but it's dangerous."
[07-30 19:22:53] <albert_> "Let's leave then, if there's little chance of reasoning with her."
[07-30 19:23:03] * Matrim_Argent frowns, uncertain, then nods.
[07-30 19:23:20] <Viollca> "I agree."
[07-30 19:23:22] <Matrim_Argent> "Yes. Our first responsibility is to the prisoners, then bring evidence of this madness to the Emporer."
[07-30 19:23:26] <Matrim_Argent> "Or so I feel, Your Grace."
[07-30 19:23:32] <Dionysus> "Understand that not stopping her would mean facing potentially more powerful undead?"
[07-30 19:23:47] <Dionysus> "The Emperor knows, Sir Argent. Believe me."
[07-30 19:23:49] <albert_> "Personally I'd like to tell her what I think of this place she has here, but...."
[07-30 19:24:11] * Matrim_Argent blinks. "Then why... why does he not act?"
[07-30 19:24:22] * Matrim_Argent shakes his head. "I apologize, Your Grace."
[07-30 19:24:26] <Matrim_Argent> "I withdraw the question."
[07-30 19:24:33] <albert_> 'He does, does he!?" this is outraged
[07-30 19:24:46] <Sherrif_Paul> (by the way, my statement was said in a tone of "don't ask me, I'm following the lead of more knowledgeable people here.")
[07-30 19:24:54] <Dionysus> He nods. "To answer none-the-less: I do not know. He just got angry & throws me out of the palace when I asked.
[07-30 19:24:56] <Dionysus> "
[07-30 19:25:13] <Dionysus> s/throws/threw/
[07-30 19:25:33] <AldoMurgen> "He's loyal and forgiving to his own children, at least."
[07-30 19:25:47] * AldoMurgen grumbles.
[07-30 19:26:17] * Matrim_Argent nods slowly, troubled.
[07-30 19:26:34] <Dionysus> "A failing many share. Shall we continue, then? The women's cells will be... disturbing, now. I fear they'll have been savaged by the undead greatly by the time we get there. Fortunately, there are far fewer women in prison here than men."
[07-30 19:26:52] <albert_> "Double standards" he says darkly
[07-30 19:27:48] <Dionysus> Gas whimpers in fear.
[07-30 19:27:56] <Dionysus> Dionysus seems to be humming to himself
[07-30 19:28:04] * Matrim_Argent blinks, then nods and falls in. "Yes, Your Grace. We must hurry to their aid."
[07-30 19:28:04] <Dionysus> The others are huddled close to each other, terrified.
[07-30 19:28:20] <Sherrif_Paul> on the way there, I say to Viollca, "what's wrong?"
[07-30 19:28:31] <Dionysus> Merriander looks at Matrim strangely for a moment, as if he was about to say something, then shakes his head & moves on, quickly, to the owmen's cells.
[07-30 19:28:39] * Viollca puts a hand on Gas's shoulder. "It's ok, Gas. We've come this far."
[07-30 19:29:18] <Viollca> (I should have said, it was more of an outraged than angry look.)
[07-30 19:30:19] <Viollca> "If we killed the Emperor's daughter, we deserve to be locked up in this place."
[07-30 19:30:32] <Viollca> *we would have deserved
[07-30 19:30:47] <Sherrif_Paul> Considers, then nods gravely. "So you can see where things aren't what they seem."
[07-30 19:31:25] <albert_> "There is a difference between killing the living and getting rid of undead." he agrees with Viollca
[07-30 19:32:04] <Viollca> "Right now all I see is horror and injustice."
[07-30 19:32:24] * Matrim_Argent lowers his head at the look. "If there is even a chance that one prisoner survives..."
[07-30 19:32:29] <Sherrif_Paul> nods. "I know. I'm having to put a lot of faith in people I trust."
[07-30 19:32:51] <Dionysus> Merriander nods at Matrim's statement.
[07-30 19:33:11] <Dionysus> As you cross the courtyard to the women's cells, you see a gallows down the way.
[07-30 19:33:18] <Dionysus> Three men are hanging from it.
[07-30 19:33:22] <Dionysus> They are struggling.
[07-30 19:33:27] <AldoMurgen> Alive?
[07-30 19:33:28] <Viollca> "If these men were killers and rapists all, kill them and let the gods sort them out. No one deserves the pain of unliving."
[07-30 19:33:33] <Dionysus> They are struggling.

[07-30 19:37:27] <Dionysus> Merriander just waits patiently as you take care of it, then moves when you begin to move again.
[07-30 19:37:43] <Dionysus> "Paul, is it? Unlock the doors, will you?"
[07-30 19:37:50] <Sherrif_Paul> I do.
[07-30 19:37:55] <Sherrif_Paul> "Yes sir."
[07-30 19:38:10] <Dionysus> As soon as the doors to the women's prison compound are open, you hear the screams
[07-30 19:38:14] <Dionysus> It is not pleasant.

[07-30 19:38:54] <Dionysus> It reeks of death inside.
[07-30 19:38:57] <Sherrif_Paul> is anything visible from here?
[07-30 19:39:12] <Dionysus> No, just dark hallway.
[07-30 19:39:42] * Matrim_Argent grips the swordhilt more tightly and remains on gaurd.

[07-30 19:40:25] * albert_ begins his death grip on his sword once again
[07-30 19:41:20] <Dionysus> The hall leads a short way down before you reach the cells.
[07-30 19:41:41] <Sherrif_Paul> paul will put a hand on Viollca's shoulder.
[07-30 19:41:45] <Viollca> When we start down, she asks "Can you see them?"
[07-30 19:41:49] <Dionysus> The first few are evidently inhabited by zombies & skeletons, women bashing themselves against the doors, trying to get out, clearly dead from their appearances
[07-30 19:42:54] * Viollca pulls into herself as we walk past the first cell
[07-30 19:42:58] * AldoMurgen prays calmly, the beat given by his footsteps.
[07-30 19:43:15] <Viollca> (nice description, Ben.)
[07-30 19:43:22] <Dionysus> As Aldo passes the cells, the struggling & growling from within them dies down.
[07-30 19:43:53] <Dionysus> About the fourth cell down, you hear a live voice say, "Please, please, let me out!"
[07-30 19:44:16] * Viollca doesn't turn at the voice

[07-30 19:50:45] <Dionysus> She does.
[07-30 19:50:53] * Matrim_Argent nods agreement and prepares to resume march.
[07-30 19:51:11] * AldoMurgen remembers his place and picks it up again with his first step.
[07-30 19:51:38] * Viollca resumes, eyes forward, looking nervous.
[07-30 19:51:42] <Dionysus> As you move along, souls flit toward you, but the Reverend's prayers hold them at bay.
[07-30 19:51:49] <Dionysus> Destroying many outright
[07-30 19:52:29] <Dionysus> You come to an area very obviously void-endowed. Merriander warns you to put away your weapons to maintain the magic/blessings.
[07-30 19:52:36] <Dionysus> It pases quickly, however.
[07-30 19:52:38] <Sherrif_Paul> I do so.
[07-30 19:52:46] <Dionysus> And you come out of it soon.
[07-30 19:52:58] <Dionysus> You don't see any other living women as you move along.
[07-30 19:53:08] * Matrim_Argent continues to look carefully.
[07-30 19:53:26] * albert_ will try to put his sword away in his pouch without being noticed
[07-30 19:53:45] <albert_> and retrieve it again as well
[07-30 19:54:52] <Dionysus> As you come to the end of the women's cells, you find another maze. However, Merriander says, "It looks like the Warden shut down this one. We should pass through it quickly. I imagine he already escaped."
[07-30 19:55:13] <Sherrif_Paul> whew.
[07-30 19:55:16] * Matrim_Argent nods.
[07-30 19:55:37] <Dionysus> As you travel the maze, which is not shifting, you see a distinct trail of blood.
[07-30 19:55:45] <Dionysus> Merriander
[07-30 19:55:51] <Viollca> (That bodes well.)
[07-30 19:55:53] <Dionysus> s patht hrough the maze follows the trail of blood.
[07-30 19:57:34] <Dionysus> It's not nearly as long before you come to the end of the maze, where you see the undeath priest from before, standing before a sturdy door that is apparently the exit. Another man, looking pale & near death, lies next tot he door.

[07-30 20:03:37] * albert_ has quit (Read error: Operation timed out)
[07-30 20:03:44] * AldoMurgen opens his eyes again and stares silently at him.
[07-30 20:04:04] <Dionysus> "Speak up, dwarf. I would hear your last words clearly."
[07-30 20:04:22] <Viollca> (can we tell he is an undeath priest?)
[07-30 20:04:25] <Dionysus> [yes]
[07-30 20:05:15] <AldoMurgen> "Ye look like someone I admired. Appearances, hmph."
[07-30 20:05:49] <Dionysus> Merriander says, "Melchoir, there's no need to threaten them. They are under my protection."
[07-30 20:06:34] <AldoMurgen> [who's Casper?]
[07-30 20:06:36] <Dionysus> Melchoir, the undeath priest, laughs. "I have no intention of letting any of you pass, Duke."
[07-30 20:06:42] <Dionysus> [gaspar?]
[07-30 20:06:47] * Matrim_Argent keeps his sword oriented on the Undeath priest.
[07-30 20:07:16] * Viollca is clutching a holy symbol, looking in terror.
[07-30 20:07:25] <Dionysus> "The voice rang in my ears. I know my mission!"
[07-30 20:07:32] * AldoMurgen unshoulders his hammer grimly.
[07-30 20:07:36] <Dionysus> "You will be my slaves!"
[07-30 20:07:51] <albert_Renkarr> "Never!"
[07-30 20:08:04] <albert_Renkarr> yelled suddenly, almost a reflex
[07-30 20:08:38] <AldoMurgen> "Stand aside, skin and bones."
[07-30 20:08:43] * albert_Renkarr is now known as albert_
[07-30 20:08:52] <Dionysus> He laughs again, raises his staff & strikes it to the ground. The hall fills with souls, & you hear running behind you, approaching.
[07-30 20:09:07] * Matrim_Argent glances quickly over his shoulder, then back.
[07-30 20:09:15] <Sherrif_Paul> I turn to guard the rear.
[07-30 20:09:20] <Dionysus> Several corpses are ambling toward you from behind.

[07-30 21:27:38] <Dionysus> Yes, actually, you can force it into something.
[07-30 21:27:56] <Dionysus> It's a diff of 15-22, depending on what yer forcing it into
[07-30 21:28:25] <Dionysus> The more mundane, the easier.

[07-30 21:47:25] <Viollca> "Shh, don't talk Paul, save your energy."
[07-30 21:47:30] <Dionysus> Merriander opens the gates. Without is a forest. No roads approach Aldergast prison, but there is a small stable outside.
[07-30 21:47:36] <Dionysus> Merriander hands the keys back to Paul.

[07-30 21:51:20] <Dionysus> "There is a town not far from here."
[07-30 21:52:14] <Dionysus> "About two miles southeast. It's very small, but you will be able to find rest & help there. I'll send word that a skilled healer go there as soon as I reach a city, which should be in about a day, if I ride fast. It's the least I can do."
[07-30 21:52:28] <Matrim_Argent> "Thank you again, Your Grace."

[07-30 21:53:27] <Dionysus> He goes to the stable & leaves a few minutes later on a fairly magnificent steed.
[07-30 21:53:42] <Dionysus> Caradonna spits as he rides off & says, "Bastard."

[07-30 21:54:17] <albert_> "Carry the wounded on his fancy horse, would hav ebeen a start."
[07-30 21:54:36] <Aldo_Murgen> Are there more horses?
[07-30 21:54:38] <albert_> "come on, we need to ge tthem to that village."
[07-30 21:54:55] <Dionysus> There There are four more horses.
[07-30 21:54:59] <Viollca> "We can make it to the city without him. And had he been seen with us, he'd be marked as a criminal for helping us escape."
[07-30 21:55:35] <Viollca> "Frankly, I'm glad to be rid of him."
[07-30 21:55:35] <Matrim_Argent> "He could have carried one, at most, and..." Mat nods agreement with Viollca. "He will be able to do more for our cause in his usual post."
[07-30 21:55:40] * albert_ just continues moving Paul
[07-30 21:56:02] <albert_> "He was still an asshole."
[07-30 21:56:06] <Dionysus> Do any of you use the four horses left?
[07-30 21:56:18] <Matrim_Argent> Wounded get precedence.
[07-30 21:56:19] <Viollca> sick and wounded get precedent
[07-30 21:56:20] <Dionysus> "He was the master Inquisitor. He's the biggest bastard in the Empire."
[07-30 21:56:22] <albert_> I think we need to try.
[07-30 21:56:23] <Dionysus> Cardonna says
[07-30 21:56:38] <albert_> (do I know what an Inquisitor is?)
[07-30 21:56:43] <Matrim_Argent> "He helped us."
[07-30 21:56:47] <Dionysus> Okay, so Paul, Gas, & anyone else who's wounded get a horse.
[07-30 21:56:51] <Dionysus> (yes, albert)
[07-30 21:56:55] <albert_> "We helped him just as much."
[07-30 21:57:08] <Aldo_Murgen> Who else is wounded?
[07-30 21:57:14] <albert_> "If he was wounded, we wouldn't have left him here."
[07-30 21:57:15] * Matrim_Argent remembers that he is.
[07-30 21:57:17] <Aldo_Murgen> I'm unhurt.
[07-30 21:57:32] <albert_> I'm unhurt
[07-30 21:57:38] <Matrim_Argent> Is wounded, that is.
[07-30 21:57:39] <Dionysus> Viollca has a minor wound, I think.
[07-30 21:57:58] <Viollca> "I feel strange, but it won't interfere with walking."
[07-30 21:58:00] <Dionysus> But someone needs to stay on Gas's horse with him.
[07-30 21:58:11] * Matrim_Argent will ride with Gas.
[07-30 21:58:22] <Viollca> she says, wiping some blood from her brow.
[07-30 21:58:34] <Aldo_Murgen> "You four ride ahead. Take Gas with you. I'm going to stay behind to bury Treena."
[07-30 21:58:42] * Matrim_Argent first asks someone to bind his arm though. It's bleeding rather a lot.
[07-30 21:58:44] <Aldo_Murgen> [actually, do i need to stay with the dying?]
[07-30 21:59:05] <albert_> which four?
[07-30 21:59:06] <Dionysus> [yes, you need to stick close to them. you can carry treena with you]
[07-30 21:59:28] <Aldo_Murgen> Scratch that, then.
[07-30 22:00:02] <Dionysus> You guys divy up the horses in some acceptable manner & go to the town then?
[07-30 22:00:06] <albert_> yes
[07-30 22:00:18] * AldoMurgen_ has quit (Quit: Leaving)
[07-30 22:00:24] <Dionysus> It's a small town, with a thick wooden wall around it.
[07-30 22:00:50] <Dionysus> As you approach the gate in the beginng of dusk a guard calls out for you to identify yourself.
[07-30 22:00:54] * Matrim_Argent makes sure his wings are covered.
[07-30 22:01:20] <Matrim_Argent> "Travellers in need of aid."
[07-30 22:01:21] <Aldo_Murgen> "The Reverend Aldo Murgen, servant of The Silver Mother, with wounded and dying."
[07-30 22:01:36] <Dionysus> The gates open.
[07-30 22:01:57] <Dionysus> Two guards look at you warily, but usher you in.
[07-30 22:02:14] <Dionysus> The two biggest buildings in town are a death church & a life church.
[07-30 22:02:40] <Sherrif_Paul> and we'll be going to one or the other before this is done.
[07-30 22:02:47] <Viollca> (huh, given it's location, I wonder why?)
[07-30 22:02:47] <Dionysus> Hahah
[07-30 22:03:17] <Dionysus> The guards tell you there's no healing church, but there is a doctor & the life priest is fairly skilled.
[07-30 22:03:23] <Aldo_Murgen> Sure, let's try the life church.
[07-30 22:03:31] <Matrim_Argent> Aye.
[07-30 22:03:51] * albert_ will help Paul and the others down from the horses
[07-30 22:04:21] <Dionysus> As you enter the life church, a man looks up from speaking to a young pregnant woman. He stops & stares, flabbergasted, at Aldo.
[07-30 22:04:27] <Dionysus> "You!" he cries in chagrin.
[07-30 22:05:06] <Dionysus> You recognize your most recent deacon, the one who quit at the beginning of the campaign.
[07-30 22:05:23] * Aldo_Murgen stares back, too exhausted to exuberate at him.
[07-30 22:05:27] <Sherrif_Paul> (gm = bastard)
[07-30 22:05:32] <Dionysus> "I came a thousand miles to get away from you!"
[07-30 22:05:46] <Dionysus> The deacon starts walking away as a the dumb founded pregannt girl stares
[07-30 22:06:04] <Dionysus> A portly minotaur walks in
[07-30 22:06:22] <Dionysus> The portly minotaur is in the robes of a full fledged priest fo Life
[07-30 22:06:36] <Dionysus> He look sat you, "Can I help you?" he asks in a thick northern accent
[07-30 22:06:41] <Dionysus> He strides forward.
[07-30 22:06:55] * Aldo_Murgen explains the present situation.
[07-30 22:07:07] <Dionysus> He moves for Gas & Paul immediately.
[07-30 22:07:19] <Dionysus> He orders the deacon to make rooms ready.
[07-30 22:07:29] <Sherrif_Paul> "Lost...so many..."
[07-30 22:07:32] <Dionysus> The deacon mutters but does so.
[07-30 22:08:17] * albert_ will try to help where he can (in caryying and the like) and then try and stay out of the way
[07-30 22:08:30] <Dionysus> The priest, named Dunkaur, carries Paul effortlessly to a room while someone else gets Gas. The Baron is also given a room.
[07-30 22:08:46] * Matrim_Argent , once the gravely wounded are seen to, asks, "Is there a place nearby where the rest of us might take rooms?"
[07-30 22:09:06] <Sherrif_Paul> "Balthasar..."
[07-30 22:09:14] <Dionysus> TDunkaur says he'll stay vigil over the wounded over night, then, when Aldo is rested, they can begin some ceremonies to restore them completely.
[07-30 22:09:37] * Viollca helps tend to Paul, "Can I help with the vigil?"
[07-30 22:09:42] <Dionysus> You are told that there is plenty of room in the temple, actually.
[07-30 22:09:52] <Dionysus> Dunkaur tells you that you should rest.
[07-30 22:10:20] <Viollca> "I'm fine, I, want to help."
[07-30 22:10:23] * Matrim_Argent thanks whoever says that and looks for a room.
[07-30 22:10:38] <Dionysus> The deacon grudgingly accepts your gratittude & shows you all to rooms.
[07-30 22:10:56] <albert_> "thank you."
[07-30 22:10:58] <Viollca> "Please Reverend,"
[07-30 22:11:23] <Dionysus> "Young lady, you are on the verge of exhaustion, & appear to have suffered wounds yourself. I will not allow you to hurt yourself in my temple."
[07-30 22:11:39] * Matrim_Argent locks himself in a room and has a minor emotional breakdown.
[07-30 22:11:44] <Dionysus> "You can trust me to tend them. I have experience in this."
[07-30 22:12:05] * Aldo_Murgen squeezes through Mat's keyhole and helps.
[07-30 22:12:09] <Dionysus> "If I must, I will carry you to a room & bar you in myself."
[07-30 22:12:21] <Matrim_Argent> Curse dwarfs and their morphing abilities!
[07-30 22:12:37] <Sherrif_Paul> (ROFL)
[07-30 22:12:51] * albert_ moves to Viollca and places his hands on her shoulders. "Maybe tomorrow when they do the ceremony you will have rested enough."
[07-30 22:12:52] * Viollca smiles. "Thank you Reverend, I shall take as good care of myself as I expect for our friends."
[07-30 22:13:01] * albert_ tries ot gently steer er
[07-30 22:13:12] <Dionysus> Ha. "Steer"
[07-30 22:13:15] <Dionysus> He's a minotaur
[07-30 22:13:16] <albert_> no steering needed
[07-30 22:13:17] <Dionysus> Anyway
[07-30 22:13:18] <Viollca> (moo!)
[07-30 22:13:29] <Sherrif_Paul> oh, cow'mon!
[07-30 22:13:38] <Dionysus> Game on
[07-30 22:13:48] <Dionysus> So you all breakdown, weep, & sleep?
[07-30 22:13:51] <Matrim_Argent> Stop joking. Lives are at steak here.
[07-30 22:13:57] <albert_> hehe
[07-30 22:14:00] <Sherrif_Paul> LOL
[07-30 22:14:14] <Matrim_Argent> Yes.
[07-30 22:14:18] <Dionysus> By the way, if you brought Treena with you, she's been laid up & the deacon is preparing her for burial. Funeral tomorrow
[07-30 22:14:19] <albert_> no breakdown or weeping, but sleeping shall happen
[07-30 22:14:36] * Viollca goes and asks where the others are, gradually finds out she can get a room, does so, and cries herself to sleep.
[07-30 22:14:38] <Dionysus> So sleeping?
[07-30 22:14:49] * Aldo_Murgen wonders how long we can milk the concept.
[07-30 22:15:09] * Sherrif_Paul is now known as A_Helicopter
[07-30 22:15:11] <albert_> yes
[07-30 22:15:23] <Viollca> yes
[07-30 22:15:30] * A_Helicopter probably has really odd dreams.
[07-30 22:15:38] * A_Helicopter is now known as Sherrif_Paul
[07-30 22:15:47] <Dionysus> You all sleep like babies, actually, & don't remember your dreams.
[07-30 22:15:55] <Aldo_Murgen> How odd.
[07-30 22:16:02] <Viollca> (what happens to used up souls? Did I feel that elf pass on or did he just cease to be?)
[07-30 22:16:14] <Dionysus> [you're not sure, Viollca]
[07-30 22:16:21] <Viollca> ok
[07-30 22:16:52] <Dionysus> Paul, you sleep very late.
[07-30 22:17:02] <Dionysus> The rest of you, it is up to you who wakes up first.
[07-30 22:17:03] <Sherrif_Paul> I don't doubt that.
[07-30 22:17:26] <Viollca> r wake
[07-30 22:17:26] <Eklem> Viollca [wake: 0] 3 5 8
[07-30 22:17:41] * Matrim_Argent prolly wakes up earlyish between training and pain.
[07-30 22:17:47] <albert_> dice d6
[07-30 22:17:47] <Eklem> 6 | [d6=6]
[07-30 22:18:01] * albert_ wakes late
[07-30 22:18:16] * Aldo_Murgen waits for Paul to wake up and asks his permission to tell the death church of the village's fate.
[07-30 22:18:34] <Dionysus> Before that
[07-30 22:18:35] <Dionysus> Aldo
[07-30 22:18:37] <Dionysus> When you get up
[07-30 22:18:43] <Sherrif_Paul> brb...
[07-30 22:18:48] <Dionysus> Dunkaur calls you to help him with a ceremony to restore Gas & Paul
[07-30 22:18:55] * Aldo_Murgen goes.
[07-30 22:19:41] <Dionysus> The ceremony is simple, but powerful. Basically, you're gonna baptize them, but not actually baptize them.
[07-30 22:19:48] <Dionysus> Roll faith.
[07-30 22:20:02] <Sherrif_Paul> back
[07-30 22:20:13] <Dionysus> r diff 10
[07-30 22:20:13] <Eklem> Dionysus [diff: 10] 14 17 18
[07-30 22:20:24] <Aldo_Murgen> r life faith 13
[07-30 22:20:24] <Eklem> Aldo_Murgen [life faith: 13] 14 16 23
[07-30 22:20:29] <Aldo_Murgen> karma
[07-30 22:20:40] <Dionysus> That works
[07-30 22:20:51] <Dionysus> Gas awakens, restored.
[07-30 22:20:53] <Dionysus> Now, for Paul.
[07-30 22:21:02] <Dionysus> r 10
[07-30 22:21:02] <Eklem> Dionysus [10] 14 14 18
[07-30 22:21:19] <Aldo_Murgen> r life faith 13
[07-30 22:21:19] <Eklem> Aldo_Murgen [life faith: 13] 22 23 23
[07-30 22:21:23] <Dionysus> Nice
[07-30 22:21:26] <Dionysus> Paul, you awake
[07-30 22:21:37] <Sherrif_Paul> blink, sit up, look around.
[07-30 22:21:37] <Dionysus> & you know for a fact that you are /whole/
[07-30 22:21:53] <Sherrif_Paul> sigh of relief.
[07-30 22:22:01] <Sherrif_Paul> "Thank you."
[07-30 22:22:05] <Dionysus> You did not notice before the attack, but while damaged, you noticed something important was missing
[07-30 22:22:09] <Dionysus> Now, it is back.
[07-30 22:22:23] <Sherrif_Paul> "I...thought I lost something."
[07-30 22:22:47] <Sherrif_Paul> "It was the wierdest feeling. wierd in a bad way."
[07-30 22:24:00] <Dionysus> Dunkaur nods. "Your soul was damaged. You are now restored. Priase be to the Silver Mother."
[07-30 22:24:11] <Sherrif_Paul> "Indeed."
[07-30 22:24:13] <Matrim_Argent> ( Hail Eris! )
[07-30 22:24:15] <Dionysus> He nods to Aldo & Paul & walks out fo the room to let them be.
[07-30 22:24:25] <Sherrif_Paul> "Gas?"
[07-30 22:25:03] <Aldo_Murgen> "Praise the Mother." He watches Dunkaur leave, then says, "Paul, I think we should tell the death church what happened."
[07-30 22:25:16] <Matrim_Argent> ( No, just a bit queasy )
[07-30 22:25:35] <Sherrif_Paul> "agreed. They'll want to know about that nest of undead back there."
[07-30 22:26:13] <Sherrif_Paul> (So if you get ordained in the Wealth church, do you become a vested interest?)
[07-30 22:26:25] <Aldo_Murgen> "And the village."
[07-30 22:26:39] <Matrim_Argent> ( If you rise high enough in the Wealth Church you become a Profit )
[07-30 22:26:58] <Sherrif_Paul> nods. "When you tell them about Anlir, be sure to tell them of the survivors you know about. Anlir isn't gone."
[07-30 22:27:37] <Sherrif_Paul> "At least, not while I live."
[07-30 22:29:09] * Aldo_Murgen nods. "Ye can rest a bit longer." Then he goes to report the death toll.
[07-30 22:29:20] <Sherrif_Paul> "Wait, Reverend,"
[07-30 22:29:40] * Aldo_Murgen stops and turns to listen.
[07-30 22:30:02] <Sherrif_Paul> "The woman we rescued, the Dwarven woman, you knew her. Did she make it?"
[07-30 22:30:36] * Aldo_Murgen turns away again. "Nae. She died instantly."
[07-30 22:30:49] <Sherrif_Paul> sighs, nods. "I'm sorry."
[07-30 22:31:01] <Aldo_Murgen> "Aye." Then he leaves.
[07-30 22:31:14] <Sherrif_Paul> and I rest a bit.
[07-30 22:31:44] <Dionysus> Go to the death church?
[07-30 22:32:04] <Aldo_Murgen> Right.
[07-30 22:32:16] <Sherrif_Paul> (This is probably a good spot for me to sign off.)
[07-30 22:32:22] <Dionysus> [dammit]
[07-30 22:32:24] <Dionysus> [all right]
[07-30 22:32:40] <Sherrif_Paul> (if you've got something planned you need me to stay for, I can,
[07-30 22:32:55] <Dionysus> [no, nothign special. jus' like havin' ye around]
[07-30 22:33:04] <Sherrif_Paul> (sorry.)
[07-30 22:33:10] <Dionysus> [it's a'ight]
[07-30 22:33:10] <albert_> night
[07-30 22:33:10] <Sherrif_Paul> (okay. goodnight all.)
[07-30 22:33:16] <Aldo_Murgen> night
[07-30 22:33:17] <Matrim_Argent> ( G'night, sirrah. )
[07-30 22:33:17] <Dionysus> The detah church!
[07-30 22:33:20] <Dionysus> Death
[07-30 22:33:21] * Sherrif_Paul has quit (Quit: Leaving)
[07-30 22:33:27] <Dionysus> It's as big as the life church
[07-30 22:33:34] <Dionysus> Somber faces greet you.
[07-30 22:33:43] <Aldo_Murgen> A somber face greets them back.
[07-30 22:33:57] <Dionysus> "How may we help you, reverend?"
[07-30 22:34:31] <Aldo_Murgen> "I have a massacre tae report, and an infestation o' undead."
[07-30 22:35:03] <Dionysus> They take you to the head priest of this temple.
[07-30 22:35:24] <Dionysus> "Ahh, Reverend? Please, sit, speak."
[07-30 22:35:35] * Aldo_Murgen sits, speaks.
[07-30 22:36:05] <Dionysus> They explain that they can't do anything about the undead. They know it's there, but the Emperor forbids them to act against it.
[07-30 22:36:17] <Dionysus> Their undead hunters are illegal within this part of the Empire
[07-30 22:36:28] <Dionysus> So they do what they can otherwise.
[07-30 22:36:43] <Dionysus> As for the massacre, they are disturbed to hear about it & say they will send messages to the high temple
[07-30 22:36:48] <Dionysus> An investigation will be under way
[07-30 22:37:57] <Aldo_Murgen> "Balthasar Tove was the local priest o' the mother o' death. He wasn't among the survivors. We buried the bones as best we were able."
[07-30 22:38:45] <Dionysus> "Thank you, Reverend. That is as much as we could ask."
[07-30 22:39:14] <Aldo_Murgen> "I dinnae suppose ye know a Melchior? Maybe a Melchior Tove?"
[07-30 22:39:36] <Dionysus> "Sadly, yes."
[07-30 22:40:04] <Dionysus> "melchoir was a brother to Balthasar & Gaspar. He is the agent of Undeath at the Prison."
[07-30 22:40:53] <Dionysus> "Gaspar, as you know, is your neew high priest."
[07-30 22:41:03] <Aldo_Murgen> Was I aware of that?
[07-30 22:41:07] <Dionysus> no
[07-30 22:41:31] <Dionysus> this priest doesn't know you were in a trance for six weeks
[07-30 22:42:48] * Aldo_Murgen blinks at that. "Er, well, I'm afraid the high priest is the last o' the brothers, then. Melchior - finally turned undead, i suppose - barred our exit from the prison, and
I was forced tae send him on."
[07-30 22:43:20] <Dionysus> The priest seems to be under strain a moment, then hides his face in his hands.
[07-30 22:43:27] <Dionysus> You realize that he's laughing
[07-30 22:43:32] <Dionysus> "Truly?"
[07-30 22:44:10] * Aldo_Murgen watches the death priest for a moment, terror unhidden on his face, and then nods. "Aye."
[07-30 22:44:25] <Dionysus> "You have slain the Keeper of the Bones of ALdergast Prison?"
[07-30 22:44:32] <Dionysus> He holds his hand forth to shake your hand.
[07-30 22:44:41] * Aldo_Murgen takes it, as if in a trance.
[07-30 22:45:26] <Dionysus> "Forgive me, Reverend. Melchior Tove has been a bane on the land for more years than I like ot count. His service ot undeath has caused more pain & misery in these parts than almost any other."
[07-30 22:45:54] <Dionysus> "To hear he is no longer here to plague us with trials unburdens my heart, but I understand you have sympathies for him."
[07-30 22:46:27] * Aldo_Murgen smiles nervously. "Well ... actually, I was a bit worried that the emperor might be sore."
[07-30 22:47:07] <Dionysus> The death priest frowns. "That he might. But then, you were escaping the prison anyway, correct?"
[07-30 22:47:30] <Aldo_Murgen> "Aye."
[07-30 22:48:59] <Dionysus> "I will not ask the charges against you, but I am aware of those that go into Aldergast prison, so I can imagine. I can guess that, more than likely, you were wrongly accused,
or at least accused of something we both find ot be repugnant to be illegal. The killing of Melchior Tove will do no damage ot your reputation, though it might be the only stain to said reputation you deserve."
[07-30 22:51:40] * Aldo_Murgen stands and smiles proudly. "My hammer dinnae kill the living. That's how I know he was undead." Then he frowns. "Thank you for listening, reverend. We'd better move on out
of this town soon."
[07-30 22:52:21] <Dionysus> He stands & bows, "Of course, Reverend. If there is anything I can provide that your temple cannot, you need just ask."
[07-30 22:52:38] <Dionysus> He reaches ot shake hands again.
[07-30 22:53:06] * Aldo_Murgen bows, shakes, thanks again, and goes back to the life church, because, what the fuck, my best rival's brother is my new high priest.
[07-30 22:53:34] <Dionysus> [I've been hoping to get that little surprise out of the way for a while now]
[07-30 22:53:54] <Dionysus> So, what does everyone do now?
[07-30 22:54:11] * Matrim_Argent would've gone on waking to find someone to see to his injuries.
[07-30 22:54:25] * albert_ wakes up at about noon and walks out into the main temple
[07-30 22:54:27] <Dionysus> The deaconw oulda taken care of it.
[07-30 22:54:42] <albert_> (unless someone wakes him earlier)
[07-30 22:55:12] * Viollca was going to talk to Paul, but wakes late and discovers that he is resting.
[07-30 22:55:28] * Matrim_Argent would've thanked him, then probably found somewhere out of the way to practice his music.
[07-30 22:55:45] * Viollca asks if there is a river nearby where she might bathe.
[07-30 22:55:59] <Viollca> scratch that, go find Aldo first
[07-30 22:56:01] <Dionysus> Dionysus finds you & asks if he can join you. He hums while you play, then shyly asks if he might try your flute.
[07-30 22:56:30] <Viollca> does he still have that instrument I gave him in the dungeon?
[07-30 22:56:51] <Dionysus> Yes
[07-30 22:56:52] * Matrim_Argent would be more than happy to allow that. It was a gift from him, after all.
[07-30 22:56:54] <Dionysus> It was a hamronica
[07-30 22:56:58] * albert_ will try and find out how Pau and Gas and the other wounded are doing before going in search of food and a way to clean himself
[07-30 22:56:59] <Dionysus> He's better with the flute.
[07-30 22:57:10] <Dionysus> Gas & Paul are resting
[07-30 22:57:12] <Aldo_Murgen> [is that like a porccolo?]
[07-30 22:57:20] <Dionysus> [yes]
[07-30 22:57:32] <albert_> piccolo?
[07-30 22:57:41] <Aldo_Murgen> [pork-olo]
[07-30 22:57:42] <Dionysus> [/ham/ron ica, /proc/colo]
[07-30 22:57:52] <Dionysus> [fuck all typos to fuck]
[07-30 22:58:18] <Dionysus> So Albert gets food & cleaning
[07-30 22:58:23] <Dionysus> Matrim does music
[07-30 22:58:26] <Dionysus> Viollca finds Aldo
[07-30 22:58:54] <albert_> He'll go to the market unless there iis food just waiting for him.
[07-30 22:59:07] <Aldo_Murgen> ["trombacon"]
[07-30 22:59:12] <Viollca> "Reverend, are the others ok?"
[07-30 22:59:34] <Aldo_Murgen> "Aye. The ceremony was a success."
[07-30 23:00:20] * Viollca brings a hand to her chest and exhales. "Thank the Mother of Life."
[07-30 23:00:41] <Viollca> "Can I help in any way?"
[07-30 23:01:13] * Aldo_Murgen smiles. "Well, we need tae make sure that they are comfortable while their corporeal wounds heal."
[07-30 23:01:54] <Viollca> "I'll do my best to that end then."
[07-30 23:02:19] <Viollca> "... the dwarven woman, did you know her well?"
[07-30 23:02:33] * Aldo_Murgen turns his head. "Aye. Too well."
[07-30 23:03:15] <Viollca> "I, I'm, My condolenses..."
[07-30 23:03:33] <Viollca> "Will there be a ceremony?"
[07-30 23:03:39] * Aldo_Murgen 's jaw shivers. "The life church has a new high priest. Balthasar and Melchior had a third brother. Imagine that! All three in one family."
[07-30 23:03:51] * Aldo_Murgen nods and wipes his eye. "Aye, there will."
[07-30 23:04:22] <Viollca> "
[07-30 23:05:27] <Viollca> "Reverend, I, well, I'm sorry. " she begins to tear.
[07-30 23:06:17] * Viollca wipes her eyes. "I apologize. I need to find a river. I shall return soon and assist these here however I can."
[07-30 23:07:04] * Aldo_Murgen nods. "Never mind. It was a long time ago."
[07-30 23:07:20] <Aldo_Murgen> "Hurry back. We may need tae move on with short notice."
[07-30 23:07:39] * Viollca nods deeply.
[07-30 23:09:01] <Viollca> ... and will go do what she said
[07-30 23:09:07] <Dionysus> So you go bathe? There's a stream near by
[07-30 23:09:13] <Viollca> yes
[07-30 23:09:38] <Dionysus> All right, does everyone attend Treena's funeral that afternoon?
[07-30 23:09:50] <albert_> yes
[07-30 23:09:57] <Viollca> yes
[07-30 23:10:05] <Matrim_Argent> If invited.
[07-30 23:10:09] <Dionysus> You are.
[07-30 23:10:21] <Dionysus> Paul & Gas are still resting
[07-30 23:10:29] <Dionysus> Dionysus offers to sing a hymn
[07-30 23:10:37] <Dionysus> Caradonna goes.
[07-30 23:10:53] <Dionysus> But the others (Tagm, Mysoner, Askasi, & Naivar), stay behind
[07-30 23:11:19] * Aldo_Murgen will attend and speak, and later inform the head priest of the life temple what happened in Aldergast.
[07-30 23:11:57] <Dionysus> The head priest takes it solemnly, notes that the Silver Warriors are barred from this region by law, & so the life chruch can do nothing about the undead there
[07-30 23:12:08] <Dionysus> He also says he will inform the High Priest of his brother's passing.
[07-30 23:13:12] * Aldo_Murgen will ask about the conditions surrounding Gaspar Tove's high vestment, if any.
[07-30 23:14:24] <Dionysus> The old high priest was about 300, & was human. He just died of old age. Gaspar got the pontificate by vote of the Archbishops. He himself was an Archbishop, having failed to make Silver Warrior so many years ago (bad leg).
[07-30 23:15:20] <Dionysus> By the way, he's high priest of the Maraddonic Life Church, not internationally.
[07-30 23:15:59] <Aldo_Murgen> So, nothing exciting, then.
[07-30 23:16:31] <Dionysus> Well, it makes him the most second powerful life priest alive, since there's no internationally high priest.
[07-30 23:16:39] <Dionysus> The only one more powerful is the elven high priest.
[07-30 23:17:31] <Aldo_Murgen> Those who attend the funeral learn that Aldo and Treena were engaged to be married, but that the marriage was called off. He doesn't explain exactly why. At the end he
gets choked up and has to sit down.
[07-30 23:17:39] <Aldo_Murgen> End of the eulogy, that is.
[07-30 23:17:45] <Dionysus> Dionysus sings a hymn.
[07-30 23:17:47] <Dionysus> r sing 16
[07-30 23:17:48] <Eklem> Dionysus [sing: 16] 19 20 24
[07-30 23:17:51] <Dionysus> It's beautiful.
[07-30 23:17:53] <Matrim_Argent> Oh my.
[07-30 23:18:42] <Dionysus> Anyone else do anything at the funeral?
[07-30 23:18:44] <Aldo_Murgen> The engagement was on the order of 5 human generations ago.
[07-30 23:19:27] <albert_> no
[07-30 23:19:49] <Dionysus> If no one does, then what do you all next?
[07-30 23:19:58] <Aldo_Murgen> [work]
[07-30 23:20:32] * Matrim_Argent plunges the world into war, destroys two of the moons, and goes home.
[07-30 23:20:39] <Aldo_Murgen> [efficient]
[07-30 23:20:43] <Viollca> dice d5
[07-30 23:20:43] <Eklem> 3 | [d5=3]
[07-30 23:20:44] <Aldo_Murgen> [still working here]
[07-30 23:21:30] * albert_ will find caradonna and asks her if she has any idea where the red cloaks are now, or a way to find out
[07-30 23:22:01] <Dionysus> She tells you that Magnus will likely still be in the central Empire, & that finding them won't be too hard. She knows where to ask questions.
[07-30 23:22:48] * Viollca helps as she is able unless she is told she isn't needed, in which case she goes back to her room for the night
[07-30 23:23:12] <albert_> "Good. Because I don't know anyone else in the empire."
[07-30 23:23:20] <Dionysus> The life priest will find you something to do if you insist on helping, but makes you go to bed ata decent hour.
[07-30 23:23:43] <Dionysus> She smiles & puts her arm around you. "Don't worry. Magnus will be glad to hear from us."
[07-30 23:24:14] * Matrim_Argent eventually lets people know that unless his help is needed for aught else, he is honor bound to depart for the capital and attempt to try to get a report to the Emporer.
[07-30 23:24:15] * albert_ grins "I don't know. i think I screwed up that last mission a tad."
[07-30 23:24:34] <Dionysus> Caradonna will look at you like you're mad.
[07-30 23:24:42] <albert_> would we be heading that way?
[07-30 23:24:50] <albert_> "What?"
[07-30 23:24:51] <Dionysus> Well, yes, everything is south of her, pretty much
[07-30 23:25:01] <Dionysus> Caradonna looked at Matrim like he was mad, not Albert.
[07-30 23:25:07] <Dionysus> of here
[07-30 23:25:07] <albert_> oh
[07-30 23:25:38] <albert_> "Doesn't he already know?"
[07-30 23:25:48] <Dionysus> Caradonna says to Matrim, "You still think, after what you've seen, that that bastard doesn't know? That he cares?"
[07-30 23:26:10] <Matrim_Argent> "Something must be done. Perhaps if he hears from enough sources..."
[07-30 23:26:22] <Dionysus> "His own daughter was running the place!"
[07-30 23:26:43] <albert_> "and the duke told him."
[07-30 23:26:44] <Dionysus> ""He's not going to do anything, because he set it up that way!"
[07-30 23:27:04] <Matrim_Argent> "I do not believe that."
[07-30 23:27:41] <albert_> "Why not? He murders children, why would he balk at a prison like that?"
[07-30 23:27:44] <Dionysus> Mysoner says to Matrim, "Sir Argent? Look, I know I lost my title and all, but I swear on my former lands & heirs, the Emperor approves of Aldergast prison. When I was put in there, not a year later, he visited it, Inspected it."
[07-30 23:28:29] <Dionysus> "He knows everything about it & approves of it. The people he puts in there are there because he's holding them ransom against other powerful folk."
[07-30 23:29:01] <Dionysus> "My wife, well, she's why I wasn't done away with. He kept me in prison so she wouldn't go running & tell what she knew about him."
[07-30 23:29:31] * Matrim_Argent shakes his head. "He... he does what..." He stops, clenches his hands, unclenches them.
[07-30 23:29:35] <Dionysus> "After I got caught stealing that tiara, he had her where he wanted her."
[07-30 23:30:27] <Matrim_Argent> "I will not speak of this. My duty is to ensure that he knows what is going on."
[07-30 23:30:38] <albert_> "But he does!"
[07-30 23:30:47] <Dionysus> Mysoner nods. "As you will, Sir Knight."
[07-30 23:31:00] <Dionysus> Caradonna almost looks like she wants to hit you.
[07-30 23:31:20] * Matrim_Argent , being transparent as glass, clearly has a lot of the same doubts, but feels obligated not to speak them.
[07-30 23:31:37] <albert_> "Aren't you going to be in some kind of trouble going back there? Is it really safe for you?"
[07-30 23:32:33] <Matrim_Argent> "I will attempt to be cautious. There are those who know me well and who I believe will hear me out."
[07-30 23:33:08] <Dionysus> Caradonna sighs.
[07-30 23:33:22] <Dionysus> "Albert, we can't let this fool get himself killed."
[07-30 23:33:24] * albert_ sighs, "Well. We're heading that way/ Would you like some company for a while?"
[07-30 23:33:34] <albert_> "Exactly." he grins at her
[07-30 23:33:56] * Matrim_Argent smiles with a bit of relief. "I would."
[07-30 23:33:59] <Aldo_Murgen> [back, reading]
[07-30 23:34:21] <Dionysus> Dionysus speaks up. "I have an errand I wish to run before I do much of anything else, but I would join you all the same. If we run tino the Lovell Tribe of Rom on the way south, I would like to stop in & speak with them."
[07-30 23:34:32] <Dionysus> s/tino/into/
[07-30 23:34:33] <albert_> "We'll have to convince him along the way." he says only half-jokingly as hesmiles good naturedly at the both of them
[07-30 23:34:47] <Dionysus> Caradonna nods at Albert.
[07-30 23:35:15] <Dionysus> Caradonna, by the way, is carving a staff.
[07-30 23:35:18] * Matrim_Argent smiles again. "I would be more than happy to have you along, old friend."
[07-30 23:35:19] <Viollca> one sec, where is this taking place?
[07-30 23:35:22] <albert_> huh
[07-30 23:35:34] <Dionysus> Wherver you gathered. Matrim said he was informing people.
[07-30 23:35:53] <Matrim_Argent> I imagined it as being as I encountered them.
[07-30 23:36:12] <Dionysus> Oh. I assumed you gathered people. Ahh well. Whoever wants to be there can be there.
[07-30 23:36:32] <Viollca> ok, I was under the impression I wasn't gathered yet, so I was being quiet. I will continue to do so.
[07-30 23:36:32] <albert_> Caradonna and i were talking
[07-30 23:37:21] <Dionysus> Dionysus was trailing Mat, & Mysoner was trailing on his own.
[07-30 23:38:36] <Dionysus> "Thank you, Sir. I should think we should all stick together.
[07-30 23:38:37] <Dionysus> "
[07-30 23:38:40] <albert_> "The gypsies?" he asks Dionysus curiously.
[07-30 23:38:43] <Dionysus> (that was Dionysus)
[07-30 23:39:02] <Aldo_Murgen> Where is the maraddonic high temple of life?
[07-30 23:39:06] <Dionysus> He looks to Albert. "Yes, young man. The roma Panch makes the finest violins in the world."
[07-30 23:39:08] <Dionysus> The capital city
[07-30 23:39:13] <Aldo_Murgen> Right.
[07-30 23:40:24] <albert_> "Oh. Really? That is what you play, I hear."
[07-30 23:40:43] <albert_> "So you'll be needing a new one."
[07-30 23:40:46] <Dionysus> "It is my preferred instrument, though I've yet to find one I couldn't figure out. Do you play?"
[07-30 23:41:19] <albert_> "Oh no. Never learned. Very interesting though. Who doesn't enjoy good music?"
[07-30 23:41:51] <Dionysus> "Sinners, mostly."
[07-30 23:42:02] <Dionysus> He smiles. "If you'd like, I can teahc you something."
[07-30 23:42:34] * albert_ laughs "I'm more of an acrobat/magician myself. And a writer of course."
[07-30 23:42:44] <Dionysus> "Oh? Poetry?"
[07-30 23:43:03] * albert_ pulls out a pamphlet "No. Political writing mostly." he hands him one.
[07-30 23:43:16] <albert_> he pulled the pamphlet from beneath his hat
[07-30 23:43:19] <Dionysus> He takes it. "Ahh, well. I've often hoped to find a lyricist..."
[07-30 23:43:32] <albert_> "Although, I have written poetry."
[07-30 23:43:51] <albert_> "I wrote a rather fine piece for the Archduchess Corella.."
[07-30 23:43:52] <Dionysus> "Well, then. Perhaps we can work together."
[07-30 23:44:07] <Dionysus> "I'd love to hear it."
[07-30 23:44:17] <albert_> "I'd love to try." he says enthusiastically.
[07-30 23:44:41] <Dionysus> He smiles. "Excellent."
[07-30 23:44:52] <albert_> "Oh well it's called, 'Famine's Folly'."
[07-30 23:45:15] * albert_ will tell Dionysus all about his poem
[07-30 23:45:23] <Dionysus> "A dour subject, but I could work music for anything."
[07-30 23:45:34] <Dionysus> He likes what he hears.
[07-30 23:45:45] <albert_> "well this was not a topic I would choose. it was commissioned."
[07-30 23:46:06] <Dionysus> He nods. "Sometimes, the best work is commissioned."
[07-30 23:46:41] * Matrim_Argent wanders off.
[07-30 23:46:42] <albert_> "How true. However, I fear this was my first. There is still a long way to go."
[07-30 23:46:54] <Dionysus> Caradonna sits idly by smiling.
[07-30 23:47:14] <Dionysus> "Well, we've plenty of time to work things out. Would you like to try your hand at writing songs with me, then?"
[07-30 23:47:18] <Dionysus> He holds out his hand.
[07-30 23:47:30] * albert_ takes it "Delighted!"
[07-30 23:47:35] <Dionysus> He shakes.
[07-30 23:47:40] <Dionysus> "As am I."
[07-30 23:47:56] <albert_> (so a rebel song has to come of this)
[07-30 23:48:01] <Dionysus> [definitely]
[07-30 23:48:09] <albert_> (awesome)
[07-30 23:48:54] * Matrim_Argent goes off to talk to Viollca.
[07-30 23:52:23] <Dionysus> Aldo, Albert, do anything special after that?
[07-30 23:52:38] <Aldo_Murgen> Can't think of anything.
[07-30 23:52:53] <Dionysus> A'ight.
[07-30 23:53:01] <albert_> start writeing with Dionysus and at night start writing my manifesto
[07-30 23:53:04] <Dionysus> Later that day, a very skilled healer arrives.
[07-30 23:53:14] <Dionysus> On a very fast but tired horse.
[07-30 23:53:45] <Dionysus> When he finds no work is left for him, he just nods & moves on. Does anyone go talk to the Baron?
[07-30 23:54:33] <albert_> no. I don't even know who he is.
[07-30 23:54:51] <Matrim_Argent> I will in a bit, likely.
[07-30 23:55:05] <Dionysus> A'ight. Lemme know when yer done with that stank ass gypsy
[07-30 23:57:00] <Dionysus> So those who are still here, what think ye of the session?
[07-30 23:58:30] <albert_> good
[07-30 23:58:46] <Dionysus> was that fight a bit too tough? too on the npcs?
[07-30 23:58:46] <albert_> that took a lot less time then I thought it would
[07-30 23:58:59] <albert_> I'm glad it was on them and not us
[07-30 23:59:39] <Aldo_Murgen> it was rather disappointing that Treena died so quickly
[07-31 00:00:03] <Dionysus> sorry. i tend to drop the ball & end things too early. gotta workk on that
[07-31 00:00:39] <Aldo_Murgen> no big deal
[07-31 00:01:00] * albert_ would have told Aldo after the funeral that he was sorry for his loss (you were gone, so I didn't say till now)
[07-31 00:01:09] <Dionysus> you have 11 more exes i can throw at you
[07-31 00:01:18] <Aldo_Murgen> correct
[07-31 00:01:57] * Aldo_Murgen says "she was lost to me an age ago" or something similar, then dries his eyes
[07-31 00:02:29] <albert_> he wouldn't have said anything but would have patted you on the shoulder anyway
[07-31 00:09:42] * Aldo_Murgen is imagining Mat and Viollca in a lolita encounter.
[07-31 00:10:02] <Dionysus> they're about the same age
[07-31 00:10:04] <Dionysus> but yeah
[07-31 00:10:46] <Aldo_Murgen> really? I guess I overestimated Mat's age
[07-31 00:11:21] <Aldo_Murgen> i imagine Viollca being much younger than i think she is, for some reason
[07-31 00:11:42] * Matrim_Argent has quit (Excess Flood)
[07-31 00:11:52] <Dionysus> mat's 234, viollca is 19
[07-31 00:12:02] <Aldo_Murgen> really?
[07-31 00:12:09] <Aldo_Murgen> oh, that's a typo
[07-31 00:12:23] * Matrim_Argent (~delirious@35556308.3974cd3.no.cox.net) has joined #Shem
[07-31 00:12:30] <Dionysus> 23
[07-31 00:12:33] <Dionysus> not 234, sorry
[07-31 00:15:26] <Dionysus> Okay, are we ending here?
[07-31 00:15:53] <albert_> are we?
[07-31 00:16:02] <Dionysus> well, i don't wanna move too far along without paul
[07-31 00:16:20] * Viollca is accepting her fate to end up in the grey lands
[07-31 00:17:16] <albert_> sounds good then
[07-31 00:18:19] <Viollca> poo, I was having fun
[07-31 00:18:29] <Viollca> good session billy
[07-31 00:18:50] <Viollca> that battle was one of the toughest I think we've ever had,
[07-31 00:18:58] <Viollca> right up there with Neal
[07-31 00:19:11] <Viollca> 's first fight with the warders
[07-31 00:19:27] <Dionysus> thanks
[07-31 00:19:42] <Dionysus> i think
[07-31 00:19:44] <Dionysus> too tough?
[07-31 00:22:12] <Viollca> tough enough, but I wouldn't go tougher
[07-31 00:22:57] <Dionysus> not until you guys are tougher?
[07-31 00:23:17] <Dionysus> err, not ?
[07-31 00:25:29] <Viollca> I enjoyed the challenge, but I don't think we could have handled anything tougher.
[07-31 00:25:33] <Viollca> comeing over
[07-31 00:25:45] <Dionysus> okay
[07-31 00:28:26] <Aldo_Murgen> I think it possible that we could have handled it slightly better.
[07-31 00:28:39] <Aldo_Murgen> If we had been a bit more powerful I think it would have been pretty easy.
[07-31 00:31:50] <Aldo_Murgen> How much trouble would Melchior have given us if he wasn't taken down immediately?
[07-31 00:40:22] * albert_ has quit (Read error: Operation timed out)
[07-31 00:57:53] <Dionysus> A lot
[07-31 00:57:56] <Dionysus> he was a gray saint
[07-31 00:58:24] <Dionysus> So he was fuck all strong in will & such
[07-31 00:58:42] <Dionysus> & had complete control over the undead
[07-31 00:58:51] <Dionysus> Except the vilechant, who had control of him.
[07-31 00:59:23] <Aldo_Murgen> Ah, so Aldo's temper may have been a stroke of luck for our side.
[07-31 00:59:33] * Dionysus has changed the topic to: friday - nathan's game | saturday - neal's game | love child, scorned by society
[07-31 00:59:38] <Dionysus> yes
[07-31 00:59:44] <Dionysus> it made the ghouls & spectres leave
[07-31 00:59:47] <Dionysus> when he died
[07-31 01:00:05] <Dionysus> the vilechant was the real big problem, in that no one could hit it but you
[07-31 01:01:11] <Aldo_Murgen> Never stand in the way of an enraged hammer-wielding dwarf.
[07-31 01:01:32] <Dionysus> amen.
[07-31 01:03:01] <Aldo_Murgen> Are hordes of undead going to be a frequent obstacle in this campaign?
[07-31 01:03:25] <Dionysus> occassionally, the undead will be a problem
[07-31 01:03:53] <Aldo_Murgen> I was kinda wondering, since it seems likely to underscore the tension between Aldo and Viollca.
[07-31 01:04:17] <Dionysus> indeed, & the importance of aldo & matrim.
[07-31 01:04:18] <Aldo_Murgen> Though, mostly, he just doesn't know what to make of her.
[07-31 01:04:48] <Dionysus> she likes you, of course
[07-31 01:05:42] <Aldo_Murgen> Aldo's abilities have been surprisingly useful. I never really expected the steamworking to be useful.
[07-31 01:06:24] <Dionysus> well, i like to bring up as many aspects of a character as i can. that's why i wanted to have copies of yer character sheets
[07-31 01:06:43] <Aldo_Murgen> Breaking down the door last session was neat. Life faith is awesome vs. undead, of course, but I'm looking forward to more constructive uses of the faith.
[07-31 01:07:19] <Dionysus> i know, i think yer a good one to get as much as ye can out of it
[07-31 01:09:19] <Aldo_Murgen> Who /was/ feeding that elevator's oven?
[07-31 01:09:48] <Dionysus> you guessed right, pretty much. the dead were working it
[07-31 01:10:11] <Aldo_Murgen> Yeah, we're all sinners, then.
[07-31 01:10:35] <Dionysus> ashariel will forgive you.
[07-31 01:11:07] <Aldo_Murgen> Later in the campaign he might have made it self-animate.
[07-31 01:11:18] <Dionysus> with higher faith, ya mean?
[07-31 01:11:30] <Aldo_Murgen> Yeah, later in his career, assuming he survives.
[07-31 01:12:20] <Dionysus> yeah. i imagine his faith will raise at some point. it will be pretty damned cool to see him do some higher level shit
[07-31 01:12:28] <Dionysus> also, reviving the dead to life would be nifty
[07-31 01:14:44] <Aldo_Murgen> I could totally see him animating a workshop full of tools and leading it into battle.
[07-31 01:15:18] <Dionysus> that would be bitchin' in the kitchen
[07-31 01:15:19] <Aldo_Murgen> Or to work, even.
[07-31 01:15:23] <Dionysus> indeed.
[07-31 01:15:42] <Dionysus> would be useful.
[07-31 01:16:21] <Aldo_Murgen> That would be his ultimate weapon, really. A cart full of tools and lumber that assembles itself into a house.
[07-31 01:16:27] <Dionysus> haha
[07-31 01:16:28] <Dionysus> nice
[07-31 01:17:46] <Aldo_Murgen> While he has a smoke.
[07-31 01:17:58] <Dionysus> haha. now, that's style
[07-31 01:23:10] <Dionysus> i am away myself. goodnight, ben
[07-31 01:31:24] <Aldo_Murgen> night
^_^ )
[07-30 16:36:58] <albert_> (love)
[07-30 16:37:07] <Dionysus> Caradonna shows Albert how to hold his sword the best way, to be ready.
[07-30 16:37:14] * Viollca shreeks and jumps back half a step, shuts her eyes, and gets even closer to Aldo
[07-30 16:37:36] * Matrim_Argent looks back at Viollca, then around alertly for the cause of the cry.
[07-30 16:38:14] <Dionysus> As you wander down the hall, everyone begins seeing translucent images of people, walking through walls & wandering around, looking dejected & horrible.
[07-30 16:38:27] * Matrim_Argent holds his sword out in front of him.
[07-30 16:38:31] * albert_ is freaked out
[07-30 16:38:31] <Dionysus> They flicker out of existence if they get near the group, & Aldo's prayers get stronger.
[07-30 16:39:02] * albert_ has forgotten how best to hold his sword, he's holding it more like a club now.
[07-30 16:39:24] <Dionysus> Did you let all the prisoners go? Or just some of them?
[07-30 16:39:58] <Sherrif_Paul> I only freed the ones that were vouched for. but someone else could have let the others out.
[07-30 16:40:17] <Dionysus> Would you have lent them the keys?
[07-30 16:40:19] <albert_> (do you have the keys? )
[07-30 16:40:33] <Sherrif_Paul> I think I have the keys.
[07-30 16:40:46] <Dionysus> You do. Would you have lent them to people letting others out or not?
[07-30 16:40:48] <albert_> are they calling out to us still?
[07-30 16:40:56] <Sherrif_Paul> yes I would have.
[07-30 16:41:11] <Dionysus> Then they would all have been let out by the other prisoners.
[07-30 16:41:39] <Dionysus> So you get to the end of the passage, past the cells
[07-30 16:41:56] <Dionysus> A huge black door is before you.
[07-30 16:42:46] <Dionysus> The Duke says, "Beyond this is the maze. It shifts & turns, but I can probably get us through it. But be warned, parts of it are heavily endowed with void energy, so any magical powers, or even the Reverend's prayers, may fail there."
[07-30 16:43:13] <Viollca> "The dead, they can't get though then, right?"
[07-30 16:43:13] * Matrim_Argent looks momentarily hopeful.
[07-30 16:43:29] <Dionysus> The Duke shakes his head. "The void won't affect them."
[07-30 16:43:33] <Viollca> oops
[07-30 16:43:39] <albert_> (Billy, is it common knowledge that aberrations and wild talents can be destroyed by void faith?)
[07-30 16:43:45] <Dionysus> [no]
[07-30 16:43:55] <albert_> (thanks)
[07-30 16:43:55] <Viollca> that should have been prefixed with a "Good sir, if I may speak, "
[07-30 16:44:11] <Dionysus> [noted, his answer remains the same]
[07-30 16:44:42] <Dionysus> "If you would open the door?"
[07-30 16:45:02] <Sherrif_Paul> I'll do it.
[07-30 16:45:04] <albert_> (who's he asking?)
[07-30 16:45:09] * Viollca brandishes her torch
[07-30 16:45:13] <Dionysus> [Paul, with the keys]
[07-30 16:45:43] <Dionysus> The doors open as soon as the keys are turned in the lock. They slide open, & a maze lies before you. The Duke tells you to stick close.
[07-30 16:45:49] <Dionysus> Be right back.
[07-30 16:52:04] * Sherrif_Paul dances the hustle
[07-30 16:52:44] <Dionysus> All right.
[07-30 16:53:22] <Dionysus> The maze is nice & dark. The Duke says, "Follow me & be ready to fight." & he moves in.
[07-30 16:53:35] * Matrim_Argent moves in a step behind.
[07-30 16:53:48] <Sherrif_Paul> same
[07-30 16:53:51] * Viollca edges forward
[07-30 16:53:59] <Dionysus> As you travel along, occassionally, you see the walls shift positions.
[07-30 16:54:12] <Dionysus> It's not long before part of your group gets cut off from you by moving walls.
[07-30 16:54:31] * albert_ either follows Caradonna or stands next to her if there's room
[07-30 16:54:35] <Sherrif_Paul> who did we lose?
[07-30 16:54:36] <Matrim_Argent> Which part?
[07-30 16:54:42] <Dionysus> Random prisoners A-G.
[07-30 16:54:53] <Matrim_Argent> Ah, they're not important. They haven't got names.
[07-30 16:54:58] <Sherrif_Paul> ah. red-cloaks.
[07-30 16:55:06] <albert_> screw you
[07-30 16:55:09] <albert_>
[07-30 16:55:12] * Viollca would be close to Aldo, but if it's convenient to loose him here go ahead
[07-30 16:55:14] <Dionysus> Actually, no, the three Red Cloaks are still with you.
[07-30 16:55:26] <Dionysus> Aldo will be neither loosed nor lost.
[07-30 16:55:35] <Sherrif_Paul> that was a joke about the color of their uniforms.
[07-30 16:55:41] <Dionysus> i know, i just wanted to make sure ye knew
[07-30 16:55:43] <Dionysus> Anyway
[07-30 16:55:45] <Sherrif_Paul> heh.
[07-30 16:56:01] * Viollca sticks out her tounge at the gm
[07-30 16:56:07] <Dionysus> The Duke insists you keep moving, as staying in one place will only make you targets for traps or undead.
[07-30 16:56:50] * albert_ is taking cues from Caradonna, so he didn't stop unless she did
[07-30 16:57:08] * Matrim_Argent is not happy with the loss of people, but sees not many options, so follows the Duke.
[07-30 16:57:30] <Dionysus> As you begin moving again, you come to an area with several souls floating toward you. Roll willpower twice, everyone.

[07-30 16:58:37] <Dionysus> Albert, Matrim, & Paul all look upon the forsaken & vomit from its hideousness.
[07-30 16:58:54] <Sherrif_Paul> ewww.
[07-30 16:58:59] <Dionysus> The same three also are filled with fear upon seeing the ghosts.
[07-30 16:59:02] * albert_ vomits
[07-30 16:59:22] <albert_> (tell us when we recover?)
[07-30 16:59:37] <Dionysus> Caradonna & Gas & Dionysus have smilar reactions.
[07-30 16:59:50] <Dionysus> Some of the prisoners run for it, but most just retch
[07-30 17:00:13] <Dionysus> The souls don't seem to be coming near you though, which is probably due to Aldo's prayers.
[07-30 17:00:33] <Dionysus> They are, however, still in the way when you quit vomiting.
[07-30 17:00:49] <Dionysus> And the terror does not seem to be subsiding.
[07-30 17:00:58] <Sherrif_Paul> is home-faith good for sending?
[07-30 17:01:06] * Matrim_Argent slowly backs away.
[07-30 17:01:07] * albert_ wipes his mouth with a sleeve and grips his sword/club all the tighter
[07-30 17:01:11] <Dionysus> It's hard to move forward. Depends on the undead, but yeah, it can work.
[07-30 17:01:12] * Viollca sees this and shouts to those running "Stay close to the priest!"
[07-30 17:01:23] <Sherrif_Paul> I'll try it.

[07-30 17:01:47] <Dionysus> One of the ghosts or the forsaken?
[07-30 17:02:02] <Sherrif_Paul> the ghost that's causing the fear.

[07-30 17:02:10] <Eklem> Dionysus [ghost: 12] 14 18 22
[07-30 17:02:18] <Dionysus> You fail to send it.
[07-30 17:02:25] <Sherrif_Paul> apparently he's at home where he is.
[07-30 17:02:49] <Sherrif_Paul> Okay. what do we know about ghosts and/or forsaken?
[07-30 17:03:04] <Dionysus> Aldo indicates that he's got other things he's holding back at the moment, & that someone else should take care of these. You probably don't even know what they're called, Paul.
[07-30 17:03:19] <Dionysus> The Duke urges those of you with weapons to try attacking.
[07-30 17:03:23] <Viollca> what are they doing? Are they moving towards us? trying to reach us? Just in the way?
[07-30 17:03:26] <Dionysus> He himself moves forward to do so.
[07-30 17:03:29] <Dionysus> They're in the way.

[07-30 17:07:03] <Dionysus> Merriander's blade whips out so fast you can't even see it & it causes one of the ghosts to flee as it strikes through it. You hear a strange wailing noise as he swings the blade.
[07-30 17:07:17] <Dionysus> Paul, your turn. You have a ghost & a forsaken (which loks like a ghost to you)
[07-30 17:08:00] <Sherrif_Paul> I attack the nearest one,

[07-30 17:37:06] <Dionysus> You don't see anything, but you can feel it within you.
[07-30 17:37:18] <Dionysus> Because you're not letting it control you, you don't see yourself from outside.
[07-30 17:38:13] <Dionysus> Basically, you can either let it go, which will resume the battle, or hold it & use it, which means you risk its taking over, or Aldo can turn it while it is in you, & all will be well.

[07-30 17:41:22] * Matrim_Argent looks at Viollca as well. "Are you alright?"
[07-30 17:41:41] * Viollca exhales deeply and rubs her arms like she is cold. "Yes, I'm fine. Are you alright Paul?"
[07-30 17:41:46] <Sherrif_Paul> "It...was about to attack me."
[07-30 17:41:50] <Sherrif_Paul> "You stopped it."

[07-30 17:43:52] <Viollca> "Yes, I can talk to the spirits. I've never done that before though, I didn't know if it would work."
[07-30 17:44:01] <Dionysus> Caradonna leans down to Aldo, "Glad you're back with us. We could use your blessings on our weapons."
[07-30 17:44:16] <albert_> holds upa finger, "A what?"
[07-30 17:44:18] <Viollca> (rather, Yes, m'lord,)
[07-30 17:44:56] <albert_> again this is asked without really expecting an answer
[07-30 17:44:59] <Dionysus> Merriander nods. "You talk to ghosts. Spirits are something else. I've heard that those who do it are called 'mediums.' It's very useful for us right now."
[07-30 17:45:20] <Dionysus> "Will you stay up front with us?"
[07-30 17:45:36] <Viollca> "If you wish, m'lord."
[07-30 17:45:51] * Viollca swallows a lump
[07-30 17:45:51] <Dionysus> "Stay behind Sir Argent. Let's get moving again."
[07-30 17:46:45] <Dionysus> You continue moving, I assume?
[07-30 17:46:48] * Viollca gives Paul a scared look before she moves ahead of him.
[07-30 17:46:49] <Viollca> yes
[07-30 17:46:51] <Sherrif_Paul> am I still depressed and afraid?
[07-30 17:46:59] <Dionysus> No, the fear, depression, & vomiting has stopped.
[07-30 17:47:05] * albert_ watches agog as Viollca moves to the front, finally catches himself and gets next to Caradonna again
[07-30 17:47:11] * AldoMurgen rolls his eyes amicably and makes more mumbled prayers, to bless the group's weapons.
[07-30 17:47:12] * Matrim_Argent bows slightly to Viollca and positions to protect her.
[07-30 17:47:16] <Sherrif_Paul> I take a deep breath to steady myself again as we move.
[07-30 17:47:19] <Dionysus> Also, Paul, your will & faith are restored after a few minutes.
[07-30 17:47:44] <Dionysus> I won't make you roll to bless weapons. Everyone but Paul, Matrim, & Merriander now have life-blessed weapons.
[07-30 17:49:20] <Dionysus> As you continue through the maze, it shifts again, & a few more prisoners get sealed off from you. You're now down to the ones I've named & yourselves.
[07-30 17:50:02] <Sherrif_Paul> I say "Tighten up ranks back there! Keep hold of the person's shoudler in front of you!"
[07-30 17:50:27] <Dionysus> Merriander says, "Sound advice," & nods to Matrim to take his shoulder.
[07-30 17:50:40] <Dionysus> So, Merriander is in the lead, then Matrim, then...?
[07-30 17:50:43] <Sherrif_Paul> I take Matrim's. "With your permission sir."
[07-30 17:50:50] * albert_ grabs a shoulder with his free hand
[07-30 17:50:52] <Viollca> (then Viollca?)
[07-30 17:50:58] <Matrim_Argent> ( Viollca's right behind Mat. )
[07-30 17:51:06] <Matrim_Argent> ( I thought. )
[07-30 17:51:13] * AldoMurgen places a meaty hand on Albert's shoulder, let's say.
[07-30 17:51:13] <Sherrif_Paul> (oh. then I take Viollca's.)
[07-30 17:51:39] * albert_ is behind caradonna if there's only room for single file
[07-30 17:51:40] * Viollca reaches up to Matrim's shoulder and glances behind her.
[07-30 17:51:52] <Dionysus> Gas has his hands on Aldo's shoulder; Dionysus on Gas's. Caradonna is in front of Albert, & she takes Paul's shoulder.
[07-30 17:52:15] <Sherrif_Paul> it's like the setup to a logic puzzle.
[07-30 17:52:20] <Dionysus> Behind Dionysus are the other prisoners: Mysoner, Naivar, Macey, Askasi, Tag, Murrem, & Sawyer.
[07-30 17:52:46] <Dionysus> They're keeping their mouths shut, looking terrified.
[07-30 17:53:10] * Matrim_Argent glances back and blushes slightly, then keeps his eyes ahead.
[07-30 17:53:23] <Dionysus> You come to an area of the maze that is made of black stone & metal. Merriander says to you all, "Put away your weapons, so their blessings & enchantments remain until we get in a fight."
[07-30 17:53:35] <Sherrif_Paul> I do so.
[07-30 17:53:55] * albert_ has no scabbard, Can I put it in my pouch?
[07-30 17:53:56] * Viollca pockets some of her charms
[07-30 17:53:58] * Matrim_Argent neatly sheathes his sword.
[07-30 17:54:00] <Dionysus> (yes)
[07-30 17:54:18] * albert_ reaches under his shirt, and his sword is gone
[07-30 17:54:33] <AldoMurgen> Did we recover any of our possessions?
[07-30 17:54:45] * Viollca gave you your clothes and hammer
[07-30 17:54:47] <Dionysus> You recovered all of them
[07-30 17:55:05] * AldoMurgen covers his hammer under his robe to the best of his ability.
[07-30 17:55:05] <Dionysus> Except Gas, who opted to leave his rags behind in favor of better clothes
[07-30 17:55:25] <AldoMurgen> s/robe/cloak/
[07-30 17:55:41] <albert_> will that work?
[07-30 17:56:00] <Dionysus> (yes, but you have no reason to knwo that)
[07-30 17:56:28] <albert_> after putting his hand under his shirt, albert looks slightly confused for a moment
[07-30 17:56:37] <albert_> (ok)
[07-30 17:56:52] <Dionysus> As you enter the void-endowed section of the maze, it becomes harder to see.
[07-30 17:57:06] <albert_> he quickly grabs caradonna's shoulder again though
[07-30 17:57:30] * Viollca holds her torch higher to compensate

[07-30 17:59:19] <Dionysus> Viollca, you notice that something is moving behind the party somewhere.
[07-30 17:59:58] * Viollca stops/slows and looks back for a second look
[07-30 18:00:20] <Dionysus> Matrim, you feel Viollca slow behind you. Paul, Viollca has slowed ahead of you.
[07-30 18:00:37] <Sherrif_Paul> "What's wrong?"
[07-30 18:00:38] * Matrim_Argent slows as well.
[07-30 18:01:07] <Dionysus> Merriander looks back, & urges you all forward.
[07-30 18:01:18] <Viollca> "Thought I saw something," she says starting behind you, then looks you in the eyes
[07-30 18:01:36] <Sherrif_Paul> "What did you see?" looking back at her eyes.
[07-30 18:01:40] <Dionysus> Something vaguely human in shape shambles forward.

[07-30 18:10:27] <Sherrif_Paul> let him put that in his blunt and smoke it.
[07-30 18:10:31] <Sherrif_Paul> yeah. I said blunt.
[07-30 18:10:45] <Dionysus> The electricity striking the body of the anima apparently reacted to the void energy in it violently. It explodes into large chunks
[07-30 18:10:55] <Viollca> (when did you get a magic blade?)
[07-30 18:10:58] <Matrim_Argent> Eew.
[07-30 18:11:05] <albert_> (so that whole sword thing might have seemed strange to all of you)
[07-30 18:11:12] <Sherrif_Paul> (I was handed one by il duce.
[07-30 18:11:33] <Viollca> (noted)
[07-30 18:11:50] * albert_ reaches under his shirt and wipes gore off his face with a red silk scarf
[07-30 18:12:05] * Viollca shirks away at the chunks and wipes herself off frantically
[07-30 18:12:17] <Dionysus> Merriander just nods at the dead thing & begins moving forward.
[07-30 18:12:26] * albert_ will hand her one up the line
[07-30 18:12:26] <Sherrif_Paul> I fall back into place.
[07-30 18:12:36] <albert_> it is yellow
[07-30 18:12:42] * Matrim_Argent looks at Albert for a moment, decides this isn't the time to worry about it, and follows Merriander.
[07-30 18:13:32] <Viollca> "That, what did that?" to Paul as we keep moving?
[07-30 18:14:17] <Sherrif_Paul> "I'm...not exactly sure. I was handed this sword by the Duke."
[07-30 18:15:01] * albert_ keeps his sword out
[07-30 18:15:27] <Dionysus> Merriander glances back. "That sword was once the magical sword used by the Archduchess Corella, who was recently assassinated. The man who had it was arrested & brought here.
That's why I was here--to question him. I felt it best to arm someone with it, as its magical properties might be useful to us in our escape. If we get out alive, you can keep it, for all I care."
[07-30 18:16:08] <Sherrif_Paul> "Oh...thank you." Does the name of the Archduchess of Corella ring a bell?
[07-30 18:16:18] <Sherrif_Paul> as in we just saw her at a slaving camp?
[07-30 18:16:22] <Dionysus> She was the head of the Green Cloaks
[07-30 18:16:24] <Dionysus> Yep
[07-30 18:16:44] <Sherrif_Paul> "Sir...When was she assassinated?"
[07-30 18:17:24] <Dionysus> "Six weeks or so ago. At about the same time as you were taken prisoner."
[07-30 18:17:45] <albert_> "She died? I thought I'd imagined that." in a whisper to caradonna
[07-30 18:17:57] <Dionysus> "Though you might not realize it, given how I understand you were all brought in."
[07-30 18:18:19] * Matrim_Argent just keeps his eyes forward.
[07-30 18:18:19] <albert_> "How was that then?"
[07-30 18:18:27] <Dionysus> "Under the control of a powerful psionist."
[07-30 18:18:30] <Sherrif_Paul> "Yeah. I'm a little hazy about that night...I might have assaulted a tree, but I'm not sure."
[07-30 18:18:43] <albert_> "Oh, you did."
[07-30 18:18:53] <Sherrif_Paul> "Well it started it."
[07-30 18:18:58] <albert_> "only after dancing with it."
[07-30 18:19:29] <Dionysus> "Yes, those drugs were apprently administered to weaken you so the psionist could initially take you under control."
[07-30 18:19:29] * Viollca shudders.
[07-30 18:20:03] <Dionysus> "Or so the Baron told me."
[07-30 18:20:36] <Viollca> "M'lord, can I be so bold as to ask about our crimes?"
[07-30 18:21:17] <Dionysus> "Association with a resistance movement, as I understand it. They said they caught you working for the infamous Red Cloaks. Except for Sir Argent, who is facing a more serious
charge."
[07-30 18:21:54] * Matrim_Argent says nothing.
[07-30 18:22:25] <Sherrif_Paul> "So then if I may ask, what is your role in it?"
[07-30 18:22:37] * albert_ puffs up defensively
[07-30 18:23:10] * Matrim_Argent looks at Paul in surprise, then looks ahead again.
[07-30 18:23:15] <Dionysus> "Like I said, I was here to questiont he alleged assassin. Being Imperial Master Inquisitor, it's my job to investigate such high profile crimes. I had nothing to do with yourcase."
[07-30 18:24:16] * Viollca looks at the back of Matrim's head, still moving forward. You might have caught her eye when you turned back to look at Paul.
[07-30 18:24:26] <Dionysus> "Though someone important must be looking out for you, if you all got put in the same cell. Normally, women are on the other side of the prison. Sir Argent's family must be pulling strings for some reason, keeping his people together."
[07-30 18:25:03] <Dionysus> The way he says it, "his people" sounds like he's using action quotes on it.
[07-30 18:25:27] <Dionysus> Or scare quotes, whatever you know them by.
[07-30 18:25:37] <Matrim_Argent> ( "Laser" )
[07-30 18:26:09] <Sherrif_Paul> "So then, if you're here on the side of the law, and we find ourselves on the contrary side, how is it that you find yourself on our side?"
[07-30 18:26:33] <Sherrif_Paul> "Not that I'm not grateful by any stretch. I'm just confused."
[07-30 18:26:36] <Dionysus> "Because I don't want to be eaten alive."
[07-30 18:27:10] <Dionysus> "The Archduchess Vannah unleashed the undead. Nothing is controlling them. The maze is turned on. Without the aide of the Reverend & Sir Argent's blade, I would probably be dead already."
[07-30 18:27:10] <Sherrif_Paul> "So whatever got activated doesn't account for you being here on their business?"
[07-30 18:27:17] <Dionysus> "Not at all."
[07-30 18:27:21] * albert_ is muttering to Caradonna, "Wrong side of he law! We've done nothing but exist!, etc."
[07-30 18:27:49] <Sherrif_Paul> nods. "That makes things interesting."
[07-30 18:28:33] <Dionysus> "It will only get more 'interesting,' I am afraid." As he says this, the maze shifts to nromal metal & stone. "Looks like we can unsheathe our weapons.
[07-30 18:28:36] <Dionysus> "
[07-30 18:28:43] <Sherrif_Paul> I do so.
[07-30 18:28:59] * Matrim_Argent does so, gripping the sword's hilt tightly.
[07-30 18:29:45] <Dionysus> As you come into the new area, you find some of the prisoners that got split off from you earlier. They're all horribly mutilated & shambling toward you. Eight in all.

[07-30 18:56:34] <Dionysus> You come to a part of the maze that seals off on all four sides, trapping you in a room. Merriander looks back & says, "DOn't worry. This is the elevator, if we can get it to work, we should be out of the maze."
[07-30 18:57:13] <Dionysus> "Paul, you have the keys?"
[07-30 18:57:23] <albert_> "Elevator?"
[07-30 18:57:38] <Dionysus> "A moving room."
[07-30 18:57:50] <Sherrif_Paul> "Right here."
[07-30 18:57:57] <Sherrif_Paul> I do what he's indicating.
[07-30 18:58:01] <Dionysus> "Try them on those holes in the wall."
[07-30 18:58:10] <Sherrif_Paul> are there multiple holes?
[07-30 18:58:18] <Dionysus> "Do any of you understand steam engineering? I understand that's what powers this room."
[07-30 18:58:31] <Dionysus> Three holes, each marked in a funny language.
[07-30 18:58:32] <albert_> "oh. Amazing. how does it work?"
[07-30 18:58:47] <albert_> "Like a train?"
[07-30 18:58:55] <Sherrif_Paul> "Okay. I'm guessing these markings mean good, bad, and don't ask. which one is good?"
[07-30 18:58:58] <AldoMurgen> Is the mechanism visible?
[07-30 18:59:01] <Dionysus> "I guess," he says to Albert
[07-30 18:59:09] <Dionysus> Parts of it.
[07-30 18:59:17] <Dionysus> The language, Aldo, is dwarven.
[07-30 18:59:30] <AldoMurgen> What do the letters say?
[07-30 18:59:34] <Dionysus> They say "on", "up", & "down."
[07-30 18:59:57] <Sherrif_Paul> (okay, so I was wrong. (v) )
[07-30 19:00:29] * AldoMurgen holds out a wide hand to Paul. "The key, if ye don't mind."
[07-30 19:00:36] <Sherrif_Paul> "Go ahead."
[07-30 19:00:39] <Sherrif_Paul> hand him the keys.
[07-30 19:00:51] * AldoMurgen turns "on", and waits a moment.
[07-30 19:01:07] * albert_ watches interested
[07-30 19:01:15] * AldoMurgen turns his head to more easily hear the mechanism starting, if it does so.
[07-30 19:01:20] <Dionysus> The mechanism springs into life
[07-30 19:01:30] <albert_> "I've never been on a steam operated room before." he says to Caradonna
[07-30 19:01:31] <Dionysus> Steam billows out, cogs & gears roll & rattle
[07-30 19:01:32] * Viollca jumps at the noise
[07-30 19:01:33] <Dionysus> Pipes move
[07-30 19:01:35] * Matrim_Argent watches warily.
[07-30 19:01:41] <Dionysus> The engine does its thing. Now what?
[07-30 19:01:45] * AldoMurgen pulls absently at his beard. "Up or down?"
[07-30 19:01:55] <Dionysus> Merriander says, "Up, definitely."
[07-30 19:02:04] * AldoMurgen chooses "up".
[07-30 19:02:08] <Dionysus> He sounds almost worried at the idea of going down.
[07-30 19:02:16] <Dionysus> The room begins moving upward
[07-30 19:02:49] <Viollca> (rather, gravity suddenly increases for a moment.)
[07-30 19:03:27] <Dionysus> Heavy thuds are heard on the roof of the elevator
[07-30 19:03:30] * AldoMurgen turns the keys back over to Paul. "I wonder who's shoveling the coal," he grumbles, imagining zombie engineers.
[07-30 19:03:38] * Matrim_Argent looks up.
[07-30 19:03:43] <Dionysus> And a group of shimmering images hovers into the room from below.

[07-30 19:04:00] <albert_> and then quickly looks down

[07-30 19:16:00] <Dionysus> The spectre vanishes, never to be heard from again.
[07-30 19:16:25] <Dionysus> At this time, you hear the crunching of bones & splatter of bodies as the elevator reaches the top of its journey.
[07-30 19:16:27] <Sherrif_Paul> Not even Dell commercials?
[07-30 19:16:32] <Dionysus> One of the walls slides open.
[07-30 19:16:48] <Viollca> "Paul, are you ok?"
[07-30 19:16:56] <Sherrif_Paul> "yeah..."
[07-30 19:17:01] <Sherrif_Paul> "that was...just...cold."
[07-30 19:17:19] <Dionysus> Being half-ice elven, that's a new one to you, being affected so by the cold
[07-30 19:17:26] <Sherrif_Paul> yeah.
[07-30 19:17:33] * Matrim_Argent watches Paul for a moment, assessing apparent health, then nods and prepares to march again.
[07-30 19:17:56] * Viollca worries over where you got touched, then notices that a wall is gone
[07-30 19:18:38] <Sherrif_Paul> I fall back into place.
[07-30 19:18:51] <albert_> as do I
[07-30 19:18:53] <Sherrif_Paul> (and cause four rows of blocks to disappear.)
[07-30 19:19:06] <Dionysus> Merriander looks cautiously out the opening, then looks back, "It seems the coast is clear for now. The Archduchess's tower is that way," he points in a direction, "And the women's cells are that way. The exit is past the cells, but we could stop half our troubles if we go speak with the Archduchess. It's up to you, though, escape with the undead at our backs or assassinate another of the Emperor's daughters?"
[07-30 19:19:23] <Dionysus> "If the latter, I will take responsibility for it."
[07-30 19:19:48] <Sherrif_Paul> "at the moment, I serve at the pleasure of Sir Matrim Argent."
[07-30 19:19:50] * albert_ eyes widen at that
[07-30 19:20:39] * Matrim_Argent looks shocked at the idea as well. "I... Would it come to that if we spoke with her?"
[07-30 19:21:18] * Viollca starts to talk but stops when Paul starts. She looks shocked, and casts Paul a quick angry look.
[07-30 19:21:33] <albert_> "I don't want to kill her, but speaking to her is different."
[07-30 19:21:33] <Dionysus> "Yes. She's quite mad."
[07-30 19:21:57] <Matrim_Argent> "And there is no possibility of reasoning?"
[07-30 19:22:37] <Dionysus> "You could try, but it's dangerous."
[07-30 19:22:53] <albert_> "Let's leave then, if there's little chance of reasoning with her."
[07-30 19:23:03] * Matrim_Argent frowns, uncertain, then nods.
[07-30 19:23:20] <Viollca> "I agree."
[07-30 19:23:22] <Matrim_Argent> "Yes. Our first responsibility is to the prisoners, then bring evidence of this madness to the Emporer."
[07-30 19:23:26] <Matrim_Argent> "Or so I feel, Your Grace."
[07-30 19:23:32] <Dionysus> "Understand that not stopping her would mean facing potentially more powerful undead?"
[07-30 19:23:47] <Dionysus> "The Emperor knows, Sir Argent. Believe me."
[07-30 19:23:49] <albert_> "Personally I'd like to tell her what I think of this place she has here, but...."
[07-30 19:24:11] * Matrim_Argent blinks. "Then why... why does he not act?"
[07-30 19:24:22] * Matrim_Argent shakes his head. "I apologize, Your Grace."
[07-30 19:24:26] <Matrim_Argent> "I withdraw the question."
[07-30 19:24:33] <albert_> 'He does, does he!?" this is outraged
[07-30 19:24:46] <Sherrif_Paul> (by the way, my statement was said in a tone of "don't ask me, I'm following the lead of more knowledgeable people here.")
[07-30 19:24:54] <Dionysus> He nods. "To answer none-the-less: I do not know. He just got angry & throws me out of the palace when I asked.
[07-30 19:24:56] <Dionysus> "
[07-30 19:25:13] <Dionysus> s/throws/threw/
[07-30 19:25:33] <AldoMurgen> "He's loyal and forgiving to his own children, at least."
[07-30 19:25:47] * AldoMurgen grumbles.
[07-30 19:26:17] * Matrim_Argent nods slowly, troubled.
[07-30 19:26:34] <Dionysus> "A failing many share. Shall we continue, then? The women's cells will be... disturbing, now. I fear they'll have been savaged by the undead greatly by the time we get there. Fortunately, there are far fewer women in prison here than men."
[07-30 19:26:52] <albert_> "Double standards" he says darkly
[07-30 19:27:48] <Dionysus> Gas whimpers in fear.
[07-30 19:27:56] <Dionysus> Dionysus seems to be humming to himself
[07-30 19:28:04] * Matrim_Argent blinks, then nods and falls in. "Yes, Your Grace. We must hurry to their aid."
[07-30 19:28:04] <Dionysus> The others are huddled close to each other, terrified.
[07-30 19:28:20] <Sherrif_Paul> on the way there, I say to Viollca, "what's wrong?"
[07-30 19:28:31] <Dionysus> Merriander looks at Matrim strangely for a moment, as if he was about to say something, then shakes his head & moves on, quickly, to the owmen's cells.
[07-30 19:28:39] * Viollca puts a hand on Gas's shoulder. "It's ok, Gas. We've come this far."
[07-30 19:29:18] <Viollca> (I should have said, it was more of an outraged than angry look.)
[07-30 19:30:19] <Viollca> "If we killed the Emperor's daughter, we deserve to be locked up in this place."
[07-30 19:30:32] <Viollca> *we would have deserved
[07-30 19:30:47] <Sherrif_Paul> Considers, then nods gravely. "So you can see where things aren't what they seem."
[07-30 19:31:25] <albert_> "There is a difference between killing the living and getting rid of undead." he agrees with Viollca
[07-30 19:32:04] <Viollca> "Right now all I see is horror and injustice."
[07-30 19:32:24] * Matrim_Argent lowers his head at the look. "If there is even a chance that one prisoner survives..."

[07-30 19:32:51] <Dionysus> Merriander nods at Matrim's statement.
[07-30 19:33:11] <Dionysus> As you cross the courtyard to the women's cells, you see a gallows down the way.
[07-30 19:33:18] <Dionysus> Three men are hanging from it.
[07-30 19:33:22] <Dionysus> They are struggling.
[07-30 19:33:27] <AldoMurgen> Alive?
[07-30 19:33:28] <Viollca> "If these men were killers and rapists all, kill them and let the gods sort them out. No one deserves the pain of unliving."
[07-30 19:33:33] <Dionysus> They are struggling.

[07-30 19:34:11] <Dionysus> Merriander says to Viollca, "Most of these men are political prisoners & spies, or people who had certain... protections. The only death row inmates here are those we'd be unable to hold anywhere else."

[07-30 19:37:27] <Dionysus> Merriander just waits patiently as you take care of it, then moves when you begin to move again.
[07-30 19:37:43] <Dionysus> "Paul, is it? Unlock the doors, will you?"
[07-30 19:37:50] <Sherrif_Paul> I do.
[07-30 19:37:55] <Sherrif_Paul> "Yes sir."
[07-30 19:38:10] <Dionysus> As soon as the doors to the women's prison compound are open, you hear the screams
[07-30 19:38:14] <Dionysus> It is not pleasant.
[07-30 19:38:32] * Viollca claps her hands on her ears
[07-30 19:38:51] * albert_ winces
[07-30 19:38:54] <Dionysus> It reeks of death inside.
[07-30 19:38:57] <Sherrif_Paul> is anything visible from here?
[07-30 19:39:12] <Dionysus> No, just dark hallway.
[07-30 19:39:42] * Matrim_Argent grips the swordhilt more tightly and remains on gaurd.
[07-30 19:39:47] * Viollca looks scared, her breathing has increased
[07-30 19:40:25] * albert_ begins his death grip on his sword once again
[07-30 19:41:20] <Dionysus> The hall leads a short way down before you reach the cells.
[07-30 19:41:41] <Sherrif_Paul> paul will put a hand on Viollca's shoulder.
[07-30 19:41:45] <Viollca> When we start down, she asks "Can you see them?"
[07-30 19:41:49] <Dionysus> The first few are evidently inhabited by zombies & skeletons, women bashing themselves against the doors, trying to get out, clearly dead from their appearances
[07-30 19:42:54] * Viollca pulls into herself as we walk past the first cell
[07-30 19:42:58] * AldoMurgen prays calmly, the beat given by his footsteps.
[07-30 19:43:15] <Viollca> (nice description, Ben.)
[07-30 19:43:22] <Dionysus> As Aldo passes the cells, the struggling & growling from within them dies down.
[07-30 19:43:53] <Dionysus> About the fourth cell down, you hear a live voice say, "Please, please, let me out!"
[07-30 19:44:16] * Viollca doesn't turn at the voice

[07-30 19:46:09] <Sherrif_Paul> I look to Aldo. "Is she alive?"

[07-30 19:47:04] <Sherrif_Paul> "Ma'am? any injuries?"
[07-30 19:47:11] <Sherrif_Paul> as I'm opening.

[07-30 19:47:25] <Dionysus> She stops dead & stares at Aldo as she steps out.

[07-30 19:48:03] <Dionysus> "A... Aldo?" She stammers.
[07-30 19:48:03] * AldoMurgen stares back, then clears his throat. "Treena."

[07-30 19:48:21] * albert_ looks back and forth between the two
[07-30 19:48:36] <Dionysus> She drops to her knees & weeps into the edge of your cloak

[07-30 19:49:27] <Dionysus> "Yes, I can walk."
[07-30 19:50:01] <Dionysus> She accepts the blanket. "Thank you."
[07-30 19:50:10] <Dionysus> She wraps it abotu her naked body,
[07-30 19:50:11] * albert_ he bobs his head in a nod
[07-30 19:50:37] <Dionysus> Merriander says, "We should get moving." He looks nervously down the hall.
[07-30 19:50:42] <AldoMurgen> "Stay close."
[07-30 19:50:45] <Dionysus> She does.
[07-30 19:50:53] * Matrim_Argent nods agreement and prepares to resume march.
[07-30 19:51:11] * AldoMurgen remembers his place and picks it up again with his first step.
[07-30 19:51:38] * Viollca resumes, eyes forward, looking nervous.
[07-30 19:51:42] <Dionysus> As you move along, souls flit toward you, but the Reverend's prayers hold them at bay.
[07-30 19:51:49] <Dionysus> Destroying many outright
[07-30 19:52:29] <Dionysus> You come to an area very obviously void-endowed. Merriander warns you to put away your weapons to maintain the magic/blessings.
[07-30 19:52:36] <Dionysus> It pases quickly, however.
[07-30 19:52:38] <Sherrif_Paul> I do so.
[07-30 19:52:46] <Dionysus> And you come out of it soon.
[07-30 19:52:58] <Dionysus> You don't see any other living women as you move along.
[07-30 19:53:08] * Matrim_Argent continues to look carefully.
[07-30 19:53:26] * albert_ will try to put his sword away in his pouch without being noticed
[07-30 19:53:45] <albert_> and retrieve it again as well
[07-30 19:54:52] <Dionysus> As you come to the end of the women's cells, you find another maze. However, Merriander says, "It looks like the Warden shut down this one. We should pass through it quickly. I imagine he already escaped."
[07-30 19:55:13] <Sherrif_Paul> whew.
[07-30 19:55:16] * Matrim_Argent nods.
[07-30 19:55:37] <Dionysus> As you travel the maze, which is not shifting, you see a distinct trail of blood.
[07-30 19:55:45] <Dionysus> Merriander
[07-30 19:55:51] <Viollca> (That bodes well.)

[07-30 19:57:34] <Dionysus> It's not nearly as long before you come to the end of the maze, where you see the undeath priest from before, standing before a sturdy door that is apparently the exit. Another man, looking pale & near death, lies next tot he door.

[07-30 20:04:22] <Viollca> (can we tell he is an undeath priest?)
[07-30 20:04:25] <Dionysus> [yes]
[07-30 20:05:15] <AldoMurgen> "Ye look like someone I admired. Appearances, hmph."
[07-30 20:05:49] <Dionysus> Merriander says, "Melchoir, there's no need to threaten them. They are under my protection."
[07-30 20:06:34] <AldoMurgen> [who's Casper?]
[07-30 20:06:36] <Dionysus> Melchoir, the undeath priest, laughs. "I have no intention of letting any of you pass, Duke."

[07-30 20:06:47] * Matrim_Argent keeps his sword oriented on the Undeath priest.

[07-30 20:07:25] <Dionysus> "The voice rang in my ears. I know my mission!"

[07-30 20:07:51] <albert_Renkarr> "Never!"

[07-30 21:41:06] <Dionysus> The wraith is no more.
[07-30 21:41:17] <Dionysus> It shines silver & just vanishes.
[07-30 21:41:30] <Dionysus> Aldo smashes a piece of wood with his hammer, though none of you know why.
[07-30 21:41:40] <Dionysus> Then again, none of you know why he attacked Merriander, either.
[07-30 21:42:01] <Viollca> Who, if any, are getting back up?
[07-30 21:42:10] <Dionysus> No one seems to be.
[07-30 21:42:10] <Viollca> who is dead?
[07-30 21:42:14] * Matrim_Argent takes the chance to check those behind him, then looks to Aldo, then looks around in general.
[07-30 21:42:26] <Dionysus> Murrem, Sawyer, Treena, & Macey.
[07-30 21:42:27] <half_dead_Paul> does dionysus stop singing?
[07-30 21:42:41] <Dionysus> Naivar, Tag, Mysoner, Dionysus are all alive.
[07-30 21:42:44] <Dionysus> Yes, he stops singing.
[07-30 21:42:49] <Dionysus> Your wound penalties return.
[07-30 21:42:59] <half_dead_Paul> I stumble down.
[07-30 21:43:04] <half_dead_Paul> "Help..."
[07-30 21:43:09] <Dionysus> Aldo turns to start praying, keeping Gas & Paul alive, but insists that they must get to help soon.
[07-30 21:43:24] <Dionysus> He also sheds tears for Treena, I am sure.
[07-30 21:43:25] * Viollca uses the soul to cast a ward-off undeath spell
[07-30 21:43:28] * albert_ will try to help the wounded as best as possible. By picking them up if he can
[07-30 21:43:29] * Matrim_Argent sees Aldo's got those two and checks on the Baron.

[07-30 21:43:53] <Dionysus> The Baron gurgles blood, & attempts to stand.
[07-30 21:44:01] <Dionysus> Nice, Viollca. The soul is sued up.
[07-30 21:44:09] <Dionysus> The Baron passes out.
[07-30 21:44:27] * Matrim_Argent catches him.
[07-30 21:44:33] <Dionysus> Merriander says, "Reverend, carry the boy. Girl, help Paul."
[07-30 21:44:45] <Dionysus> "Matrim, do you have the Baron?"
[07-30 21:44:52] * Viollca starts crying, glowing silver, and nods.
[07-30 21:45:29] * Matrim_Argent nods, puts away his sword, and lifts the Baron.
[07-30 21:45:30] <Dionysus> "You," he says to Albert, "Help with Paul as well."
[07-30 21:45:34] * albert_ moves ot help Viollca with Paul if there aren't other wounded to carry and tells her, "He'll be ok."
[07-30 21:45:54] <Dionysus> He says, "Lady, take the Baron from Sir Argent. We'll need his sword."
[07-30 21:45:59] <Dionysus> Lady=Caradonna.
[07-30 21:46:21] <Dionysus> Caradonna just nods & carries the Baron effortlessly, if Matrim lets her.
[07-30 21:46:25] * Matrim_Argent does.
[07-30 21:46:41] <Dionysus> "Paul, lend me your keys?"
[07-30 21:46:43] <half_dead_Paul> "Gas.."
[07-30 21:46:48] <half_dead_Paul> "Here..."
[07-30 21:46:59] <Dionysus> Aldo says Gas will be fine if ye can get to help soon enough, or some such.
[07-30 21:47:25] <Viollca> "Shh, don't talk Paul, save your energy."
[07-30 21:47:30] <Dionysus> Merriander opens the gates. Without is a forest. No roads approach Aldergast prison, but there is a small stable outside.
[07-30 21:47:36] <Dionysus> Merriander hands the keys back to Paul.
[07-30 21:47:46] * Matrim_Argent draws his sword again and prepares to follow Merriander.

[07-30 21:47:54] <half_dead_Paul> yeah. I catch them.
[07-30 21:48:34] <Dionysus> Merriander says, "My horse should be in those stables. I will take your leave now." He begins walking toward the stables.
[07-30 21:48:53] <half_dead_Paul> (I did take a mortal wound, didn't I? I'll be embarrassed if I didn't and I'm playing it this way...)
[07-30 21:49:21] <albert_> "What? you're leaving?!"
[07-30 21:49:34] <Matrim_Argent> "Thank you for aiding us, Your Grace. If I might ask before you go, do you know where medical aid might best be found?"
[07-30 21:50:24] <Dionysus> [you did, Paul, but Aldo's faith keeps it from killing you]
[07-30 21:50:32] <Dionysus> [yer still weak, though]
[07-30 21:51:19] * half_dead_Paul is now known as Sherrif_Paul
[07-30 21:51:20] <Dionysus> "There is a town not far from here."
[07-30 21:52:14] <Dionysus> "About two miles southeast. It's very small, but you will be able to find rest & help there. I'll send word that a skilled healer go there as soon as I reach a city, which should be in about a day, if I ride fast. It's the least I can do."
[07-30 21:52:28] <Matrim_Argent> "Thank you again, Your Grace."
[07-30 21:52:32] * Matrim_Argent bows.
[07-30 21:52:33] <albert_> "You're just leaving?" incredulous
[07-30 21:52:47] * albert_ looks at Matrim_Argent in disgust
[07-30 21:52:50] <Dionysus> He nods at you, & says, "Thank you, Sir Knight. Should your trial arise, I will happily speak on your behalf."
[07-30 21:53:12] * Matrim_Argent is, again, grateful.
[07-30 21:53:27] <Dionysus> He goes to the stable & leaves a few minutes later on a fairly magnificent steed.
[07-30 21:53:42] <Dionysus> Caradonna spits as he rides off & says, "Bastard."
[07-30 21:53:52] * Matrim_Argent , after he leaves, turns to Albert. "What else would you have him do?"
[07-30 21:53:56] <albert_> "Wha tan asshole." he agrees
[07-30 21:54:17] <albert_> "Carry the wounded on his fancy horse, would hav ebeen a start."
[07-30 21:54:36] <Aldo_Murgen> Are there more horses?
[07-30 21:54:38] <albert_> "come on, we need to ge tthem to that village."
[07-30 21:54:55] <Dionysus> There There are four more horses.
[07-30 21:54:59] <Viollca> "We can make it to the city without him. And had he been seen with us, he'd be marked as a criminal for helping us escape."
[07-30 21:55:35] <Viollca> "Frankly, I'm glad to be rid of him."
[07-30 21:55:35] <Matrim_Argent> "He could have carried one, at most, and..." Mat nods agreement with Viollca. "He will be able to do more for our cause in his usual post."
[07-30 21:55:40] * albert_ just continues moving Paul
[07-30 21:56:02] <albert_> "He was still an asshole."
[07-30 21:56:06] <Dionysus> Do any of you use the four horses left?
[07-30 21:56:18] <Matrim_Argent> Wounded get precedence.
[07-30 21:56:19] <Viollca> sick and wounded get precedent
[07-30 21:56:20] <Dionysus> "He was the master Inquisitor. He's the biggest bastard in the Empire."
[07-30 21:56:22] <albert_> I think we need to try.
[07-30 21:56:23] <Dionysus> Cardonna says
[07-30 21:56:38] <albert_> (do I know what an Inquisitor is?)
[07-30 21:56:43] <Matrim_Argent> "He helped us."
[07-30 21:56:47] <Dionysus> Okay, so Paul, Gas, & anyone else who's wounded get a horse.
[07-30 21:56:51] <Dionysus> (yes, albert)
[07-30 21:56:55] <albert_> "We helped him just as much."
[07-30 21:57:08] <Aldo_Murgen> Who else is wounded?
[07-30 21:57:14] <albert_> "If he was wounded, we wouldn't have left him here."
[07-30 21:57:15] * Matrim_Argent remembers that he is.
[07-30 21:57:17] <Aldo_Murgen> I'm unhurt.
[07-30 21:57:32] <albert_> I'm unhurt
[07-30 21:57:38] <Matrim_Argent> Is wounded, that is.
[07-30 21:57:39] <Dionysus> Viollca has a minor wound, I think.
[07-30 21:57:58] <Viollca> "I feel strange, but it won't interfere with walking."
[07-30 21:58:00] <Dionysus> But someone needs to stay on Gas's horse with him.
[07-30 21:58:11] * Matrim_Argent will ride with Gas.
[07-30 21:58:22] <Viollca> she says, wiping some blood from her brow.
[07-30 21:58:34] <Aldo_Murgen> "You four ride ahead. Take Gas with you. I'm going to stay behind to bury Treena."
[07-30 21:58:42] * Matrim_Argent first asks someone to bind his arm though. It's bleeding rather a lot.
[07-30 21:58:44] <Aldo_Murgen> [actually, do i need to stay with the dying?]
[07-30 21:59:05] <albert_> which four?
[07-30 21:59:06] <Dionysus> [yes, you need to stick close to them. you can carry treena with you]
[07-30 21:59:28] <Aldo_Murgen> Scratch that, then.
[07-30 22:00:02] <Dionysus> You guys divy up the horses in some acceptable manner & go to the town then?
[07-30 22:00:06] <albert_> yes
[07-30 22:00:18] * AldoMurgen_ has quit (Quit: Leaving)
[07-30 22:00:24] <Dionysus> It's a small town, with a thick wooden wall around it.
[07-30 22:00:50] <Dionysus> As you approach the gate in the beginng of dusk a guard calls out for you to identify yourself.
[07-30 22:00:54] * Matrim_Argent makes sure his wings are covered.
[07-30 22:01:20] <Matrim_Argent> "Travellers in need of aid."
[07-30 22:01:21] <Aldo_Murgen> "The Reverend Aldo Murgen, servant of The Silver Mother, with wounded and dying."
[07-30 22:01:36] <Dionysus> The gates open.
[07-30 22:01:57] <Dionysus> Two guards look at you warily, but usher you in.
[07-30 22:02:14] <Dionysus> The two biggest buildings in town are a death church & a life church.
[07-30 22:02:40] <Sherrif_Paul> and we'll be going to one or the other before this is done.
[07-30 22:02:47] <Viollca> (huh, given it's location, I wonder why?)
[07-30 22:02:47] <Dionysus> Hahah
[07-30 22:03:17] <Dionysus> The guards tell you there's no healing church, but there is a doctor & the life priest is fairly skilled.
[07-30 22:03:23] <Aldo_Murgen> Sure, let's try the life church.
[07-30 22:03:31] <Matrim_Argent> Aye.
[07-30 22:03:51] * albert_ will help Paul and the others down from the horses
[07-30 22:04:21] <Dionysus> As you enter the life church, a man looks up from speaking to a young pregnant woman. He stops & stares, flabbergasted, at Aldo.
[07-30 22:04:27] <Dionysus> "You!" he cries in chagrin.
[07-30 22:05:06] <Dionysus> You recognize your most recent deacon, the one who quit at the beginning of the campaign.
[07-30 22:05:23] * Aldo_Murgen stares back, too exhausted to exuberate at him.
[07-30 22:05:27] <Sherrif_Paul> (gm = bastard)
[07-30 22:05:32] <Dionysus> "I came a thousand miles to get away from you!"
[07-30 22:05:46] <Dionysus> The deacon starts walking away as a the dumb founded pregannt girl stares
[07-30 22:06:04] <Dionysus> A portly minotaur walks in
[07-30 22:06:22] <Dionysus> The portly minotaur is in the robes of a full fledged priest fo Life
[07-30 22:06:36] <Dionysus> He look sat you, "Can I help you?" he asks in a thick northern accent
[07-30 22:06:41] <Dionysus> He strides forward.
[07-30 22:06:55] * Aldo_Murgen explains the present situation.
[07-30 22:07:07] <Dionysus> He moves for Gas & Paul immediately.
[07-30 22:07:19] <Dionysus> He orders the deacon to make rooms ready.
[07-30 22:07:29] <Sherrif_Paul> "Lost...so many..."
[07-30 22:07:32] <Dionysus> The deacon mutters but does so.
[07-30 22:08:17] * albert_ will try to help where he can (in caryying and the like) and then try and stay out of the way
[07-30 22:08:30] <Dionysus> The priest, named Dunkaur, carries Paul effortlessly to a room while someone else gets Gas. The Baron is also given a room.
[07-30 22:08:46] * Matrim_Argent , once the gravely wounded are seen to, asks, "Is there a place nearby where the rest of us might take rooms?"
[07-30 22:09:06] <Sherrif_Paul> "Balthasar..."
[07-30 22:09:14] <Dionysus> TDunkaur says he'll stay vigil over the wounded over night, then, when Aldo is rested, they can begin some ceremonies to restore them completely.
[07-30 22:09:37] * Viollca helps tend to Paul, "Can I help with the vigil?"
[07-30 22:09:42] <Dionysus> You are told that there is plenty of room in the temple, actually.
[07-30 22:09:52] <Dionysus> Dunkaur tells you that you should rest.
[07-30 22:10:20] <Viollca> "I'm fine, I, want to help."
[07-30 22:10:23] * Matrim_Argent thanks whoever says that and looks for a room.
[07-30 22:10:38] <Dionysus> The deacon grudgingly accepts your gratittude & shows you all to rooms.
[07-30 22:10:56] <albert_> "thank you."
[07-30 22:10:58] <Viollca> "Please Reverend,"
[07-30 22:11:23] <Dionysus> "Young lady, you are on the verge of exhaustion, & appear to have suffered wounds yourself. I will not allow you to hurt yourself in my temple."
[07-30 22:11:39] * Matrim_Argent locks himself in a room and has a minor emotional breakdown.
[07-30 22:11:44] <Dionysus> "You can trust me to tend them. I have experience in this."
[07-30 22:12:05] * Aldo_Murgen squeezes through Mat's keyhole and helps.
[07-30 22:12:09] <Dionysus> "If I must, I will carry you to a room & bar you in myself."
[07-30 22:12:21] <Matrim_Argent> Curse dwarfs and their morphing abilities!
[07-30 22:12:37] <Sherrif_Paul> (ROFL)
[07-30 22:12:51] * albert_ moves to Viollca and places his hands on her shoulders. "Maybe tomorrow when they do the ceremony you will have rested enough."
[07-30 22:12:52] * Viollca smiles. "Thank you Reverend, I shall take as good care of myself as I expect for our friends."
[07-30 22:13:01] * albert_ tries ot gently steer er
[07-30 22:13:12] <Dionysus> Ha. "Steer"
[07-30 22:13:15] <Dionysus> He's a minotaur
[07-30 22:13:16] <albert_> no steering needed
[07-30 22:13:17] <Dionysus> Anyway
[07-30 22:13:18] <Viollca> (moo!)
[07-30 22:13:29] <Sherrif_Paul> oh, cow'mon!
[07-30 22:13:38] <Dionysus> Game on
[07-30 22:13:48] <Dionysus> So you all breakdown, weep, & sleep?
[07-30 22:13:51] <Matrim_Argent> Stop joking. Lives are at steak here.
[07-30 22:13:57] <albert_> hehe
[07-30 22:14:00] <Sherrif_Paul> LOL
[07-30 22:14:14] <Matrim_Argent> Yes.
[07-30 22:14:18] <Dionysus> By the way, if you brought Treena with you, she's been laid up & the deacon is preparing her for burial. Funeral tomorrow
[07-30 22:14:19] <albert_> no breakdown or weeping, but sleeping shall happen
[07-30 22:14:36] * Viollca goes and asks where the others are, gradually finds out she can get a room, does so, and cries herself to sleep.
[07-30 22:14:38] <Dionysus> So sleeping?
[07-30 22:14:49] * Aldo_Murgen wonders how long we can milk the concept.
[07-30 22:15:09] * Sherrif_Paul is now known as A_Helicopter
[07-30 22:15:11] <albert_> yes
[07-30 22:15:23] <Viollca> yes
[07-30 22:15:30] * A_Helicopter probably has really odd dreams.
[07-30 22:15:38] * A_Helicopter is now known as Sherrif_Paul
[07-30 22:15:47] <Dionysus> You all sleep like babies, actually, & don't remember your dreams.
[07-30 22:15:55] <Aldo_Murgen> How odd.
[07-30 22:16:02] <Viollca> (what happens to used up souls? Did I feel that elf pass on or did he just cease to be?)
[07-30 22:16:14] <Dionysus> [you're not sure, Viollca]
[07-30 22:16:21] <Viollca> ok
[07-30 22:16:52] <Dionysus> Paul, you sleep very late.
[07-30 22:17:02] <Dionysus> The rest of you, it is up to you who wakes up first.
[07-30 22:17:03] <Sherrif_Paul> I don't doubt that.

[07-30 22:18:16] * Aldo_Murgen waits for Paul to wake up and asks his permission to tell the death church of the village's fate.
[07-30 22:18:34] <Dionysus> Before that
[07-30 22:18:35] <Dionysus> Aldo
[07-30 22:18:37] <Dionysus> When you get up
[07-30 22:18:43] <Sherrif_Paul> brb...
[07-30 22:18:48] <Dionysus> Dunkaur calls you to help him with a ceremony to restore Gas & Paul
[07-30 22:18:55] * Aldo_Murgen goes.
[07-30 22:19:41] <Dionysus> The ceremony is simple, but powerful. Basically, you're gonna baptize them, but not actually baptize them.
[07-30 22:19:48] <Dionysus> Roll faith.
[07-30 22:20:02] <Sherrif_Paul> back

[07-30 22:20:40] <Dionysus> That works
[07-30 22:20:51] <Dionysus> Gas awakens, restored.
[07-30 22:20:53] <Dionysus> Now, for Paul.

[07-30 22:21:23] <Dionysus> Nice
[07-30 22:21:26] <Dionysus> Paul, you awake
[07-30 22:21:37] <Sherrif_Paul> blink, sit up, look around.
[07-30 22:21:37] <Dionysus> & you know for a fact that you are /whole/
[07-30 22:21:53] <Sherrif_Paul> sigh of relief.
[07-30 22:22:01] <Sherrif_Paul> "Thank you."
[07-30 22:22:05] <Dionysus> You did not notice before the attack, but while damaged, you noticed something important was missing
[07-30 22:22:09] <Dionysus> Now, it is back.
[07-30 22:22:23] <Sherrif_Paul> "I...thought I lost something."
[07-30 22:22:47] <Sherrif_Paul> "It was the wierdest feeling. wierd in a bad way."
[07-30 22:24:00] <Dionysus> Dunkaur nods. "Your soul was damaged. You are now restored. Priase be to the Silver Mother."
[07-30 22:24:11] <Sherrif_Paul> "Indeed."
[07-30 22:24:13] <Matrim_Argent> ( Hail Eris! )
[07-30 22:24:15] <Dionysus> He nods to Aldo & Paul & walks out fo the room to let them be.
[07-30 22:24:25] <Sherrif_Paul> "Gas?"
[07-30 22:25:03] <Aldo_Murgen> "Praise the Mother." He watches Dunkaur leave, then says, "Paul, I think we should tell the death church what happened."
[07-30 22:25:16] <Matrim_Argent> ( No, just a bit queasy )
[07-30 22:25:35] <Sherrif_Paul> "agreed. They'll want to know about that nest of undead back there."
[07-30 22:26:13] <Sherrif_Paul> (So if you get ordained in the Wealth church, do you become a vested interest?)
[07-30 22:26:25] <Aldo_Murgen> "And the village."
[07-30 22:26:39] <Matrim_Argent> ( If you rise high enough in the Wealth Church you become a Profit )
[07-30 22:26:58] <Sherrif_Paul> nods. "When you tell them about Anlir, be sure to tell them of the survivors you know about. Anlir isn't gone."
[07-30 22:27:37] <Sherrif_Paul> "At least, not while I live."
[07-30 22:29:09] * Aldo_Murgen nods. "Ye can rest a bit longer." Then he goes to report the death toll.
[07-30 22:29:20] <Sherrif_Paul> "Wait, Reverend,"
[07-30 22:29:40] * Aldo_Murgen stops and turns to listen.
[07-30 22:30:02] <Sherrif_Paul> "The woman we rescued, the Dwarven woman, you knew her. Did she make it?"
[07-30 22:30:36] * Aldo_Murgen turns away again. "Nae. She died instantly."
[07-30 22:30:49] <Sherrif_Paul> sighs, nods. "I'm sorry."
[07-30 22:31:01] <Aldo_Murgen> "Aye." Then he leaves.
[07-30 22:31:14] <Sherrif_Paul> and I rest a bit.
[07-30 22:31:44] <Dionysus> Go to the death church?
[07-30 22:32:04] <Aldo_Murgen> Right.
[07-30 22:32:16] <Sherrif_Paul> (This is probably a good spot for me to sign off.)
[07-30 22:32:22] <Dionysus> [dammit]
[07-30 22:32:24] <Dionysus> [all right]
[07-30 22:32:40] <Sherrif_Paul> (if you've got something planned you need me to stay for, I can,
[07-30 22:32:55] <Dionysus> [no, nothign special. jus' like havin' ye around]
[07-30 22:33:04] <Sherrif_Paul> (sorry.)
[07-30 22:33:10] <Dionysus> [it's a'ight]
[07-30 22:33:10] <albert_> night
[07-30 22:33:10] <Sherrif_Paul> (okay. goodnight all.)
[07-30 22:33:16] <Aldo_Murgen> night
[07-30 22:33:17] <Matrim_Argent> ( G'night, sirrah. )
[07-30 22:33:17] <Dionysus> The detah church!
[07-30 22:33:20] <Dionysus> Death
[07-30 22:33:21] * Sherrif_Paul has quit (Quit: Leaving)
[07-30 22:33:27] <Dionysus> It's as big as the life church
[07-30 22:33:34] <Dionysus> Somber faces greet you.
[07-30 22:33:43] <Aldo_Murgen> A somber face greets them back.
[07-30 22:33:57] <Dionysus> "How may we help you, reverend?"
[07-30 22:34:31] <Aldo_Murgen> "I have a massacre tae report, and an infestation o' undead."
[07-30 22:35:03] <Dionysus> They take you to the head priest of this temple.
[07-30 22:35:24] <Dionysus> "Ahh, Reverend? Please, sit, speak."
[07-30 22:35:35] * Aldo_Murgen sits, speaks.
[07-30 22:36:05] <Dionysus> They explain that they can't do anything about the undead. They know it's there, but the Emperor forbids them to act against it.
[07-30 22:36:17] <Dionysus> Their undead hunters are illegal within this part of the Empire
[07-30 22:36:28] <Dionysus> So they do what they can otherwise.
[07-30 22:36:43] <Dionysus> As for the massacre, they are disturbed to hear about it & say they will send messages to the high temple
[07-30 22:36:48] <Dionysus> An investigation will be under way
[07-30 22:37:57] <Aldo_Murgen> "Balthasar Tove was the local priest o' the mother o' death. He wasn't among the survivors. We buried the bones as best we were able."
[07-30 22:38:45] <Dionysus> "Thank you, Reverend. That is as much as we could ask."
[07-30 22:39:14] <Aldo_Murgen> "I dinnae suppose ye know a Melchior? Maybe a Melchior Tove?"
[07-30 22:39:36] <Dionysus> "Sadly, yes."
[07-30 22:40:04] <Dionysus> "melchoir was a brother to Balthasar & Gaspar. He is the agent of Undeath at the Prison."
[07-30 22:40:53] <Dionysus> "Gaspar, as you know, is your neew high priest."
[07-30 22:41:03] <Aldo_Murgen> Was I aware of that?
[07-30 22:41:07] <Dionysus> no
[07-30 22:41:31] <Dionysus> this priest doesn't know you were in a trance for six weeks
[07-30 22:42:48] * Aldo_Murgen blinks at that. "Er, well, I'm afraid the high priest is the last o' the brothers, then. Melchior - finally turned undead, i suppose - barred our exit from the prison, and
I was forced tae send him on."
[07-30 22:43:20] <Dionysus> The priest seems to be under strain a moment, then hides his face in his hands.
[07-30 22:43:27] <Dionysus> You realize that he's laughing
[07-30 22:43:32] <Dionysus> "Truly?"
[07-30 22:44:10] * Aldo_Murgen watches the death priest for a moment, terror unhidden on his face, and then nods. "Aye."
[07-30 22:44:25] <Dionysus> "You have slain the Keeper of the Bones of ALdergast Prison?"
[07-30 22:44:32] <Dionysus> He holds his hand forth to shake your hand.
[07-30 22:44:41] * Aldo_Murgen takes it, as if in a trance.
[07-30 22:45:26] <Dionysus> "Forgive me, Reverend. Melchior Tove has been a bane on the land for more years than I like ot count. His service ot undeath has caused more pain & misery in these parts than almost any other."
[07-30 22:45:54] <Dionysus> "To hear he is no longer here to plague us with trials unburdens my heart, but I understand you have sympathies for him."
[07-30 22:46:27] * Aldo_Murgen smiles nervously. "Well ... actually, I was a bit worried that the emperor might be sore."
[07-30 22:47:07] <Dionysus> The death priest frowns. "That he might. But then, you were escaping the prison anyway, correct?"
[07-30 22:47:30] <Aldo_Murgen> "Aye."
[07-30 22:48:59] <Dionysus> "I will not ask the charges against you, but I am aware of those that go into Aldergast prison, so I can imagine. I can guess that, more than likely, you were wrongly accused,
or at least accused of something we both find ot be repugnant to be illegal. The killing of Melchior Tove will do no damage ot your reputation, though it might be the only stain to said reputation you deserve."
[07-30 22:51:40] * Aldo_Murgen stands and smiles proudly. "My hammer dinnae kill the living. That's how I know he was undead." Then he frowns. "Thank you for listening, reverend. We'd better move on out
of this town soon."
[07-30 22:52:21] <Dionysus> He stands & bows, "Of course, Reverend. If there is anything I can provide that your temple cannot, you need just ask."
[07-30 22:52:38] <Dionysus> He reaches ot shake hands again.
[07-30 22:53:06] * Aldo_Murgen bows, shakes, thanks again, and goes back to the life church, because, what the fuck, my best rival's brother is my new high priest.
[07-30 22:53:34] <Dionysus> [I've been hoping to get that little surprise out of the way for a while now]
[07-30 22:53:54] <Dionysus> So, what does everyone do now?
[07-30 22:54:11] * Matrim_Argent would've gone on waking to find someone to see to his injuries.
[07-30 22:54:25] * albert_ wakes up at about noon and walks out into the main temple
[07-30 22:54:27] <Dionysus> The deaconw oulda taken care of it.
[07-30 22:54:42] <albert_> (unless someone wakes him earlier)
[07-30 22:55:12] * Viollca was going to talk to Paul, but wakes late and discovers that he is resting.
[07-30 22:55:28] * Matrim_Argent would've thanked him, then probably found somewhere out of the way to practice his music.
[07-30 22:55:45] * Viollca asks if there is a river nearby where she might bathe.
[07-30 22:55:59] <Viollca> scratch that, go find Aldo first
[07-30 22:56:01] <Dionysus> Dionysus finds you & asks if he can join you. He hums while you play, then shyly asks if he might try your flute.
[07-30 22:56:30] <Viollca> does he still have that instrument I gave him in the dungeon?
[07-30 22:56:51] <Dionysus> Yes
[07-30 22:56:52] * Matrim_Argent would be more than happy to allow that. It was a gift from him, after all.
[07-30 22:56:54] <Dionysus> It was a hamronica
[07-30 22:56:58] * albert_ will try and find out how Pau and Gas and the other wounded are doing before going in search of food and a way to clean himself
[07-30 22:56:59] <Dionysus> He's better with the flute.
[07-30 22:57:10] <Dionysus> Gas & Paul are resting
[07-30 22:57:12] <Aldo_Murgen> [is that like a porccolo?]
[07-30 22:57:20] <Dionysus> [yes]
[07-30 22:57:32] <albert_> piccolo?
[07-30 22:57:41] <Aldo_Murgen> [pork-olo]
[07-30 22:57:42] <Dionysus> [/ham/ron ica, /proc/colo]
[07-30 22:57:52] <Dionysus> [fuck all typos to fuck]
[07-30 22:58:18] <Dionysus> So Albert gets food & cleaning
[07-30 22:58:23] <Dionysus> Matrim does music
[07-30 22:58:26] <Dionysus> Viollca finds Aldo
[07-30 22:58:54] <albert_> He'll go to the market unless there iis food just waiting for him.
[07-30 22:59:07] <Aldo_Murgen> ["trombacon"]
[07-30 22:59:12] <Viollca> "Reverend, are the others ok?"
[07-30 22:59:34] <Aldo_Murgen> "Aye. The ceremony was a success."
[07-30 23:00:20] * Viollca brings a hand to her chest and exhales. "Thank the Mother of Life."
[07-30 23:00:41] <Viollca> "Can I help in any way?"
[07-30 23:01:13] * Aldo_Murgen smiles. "Well, we need tae make sure that they are comfortable while their corporeal wounds heal."
[07-30 23:01:54] <Viollca> "I'll do my best to that end then."
[07-30 23:02:19] <Viollca> "... the dwarven woman, did you know her well?"
[07-30 23:02:33] * Aldo_Murgen turns his head. "Aye. Too well."
[07-30 23:03:15] <Viollca> "I, I'm, My condolenses..."
[07-30 23:03:33] <Viollca> "Will there be a ceremony?"
[07-30 23:03:39] * Aldo_Murgen 's jaw shivers. "The life church has a new high priest. Balthasar and Melchior had a third brother. Imagine that! All three in one family."
[07-30 23:03:51] * Aldo_Murgen nods and wipes his eye. "Aye, there will."
[07-30 23:04:22] <Viollca> "
[07-30 23:05:27] <Viollca> "Reverend, I, well, I'm sorry. " she begins to tear.
[07-30 23:06:17] * Viollca wipes her eyes. "I apologize. I need to find a river. I shall return soon and assist these here however I can."
[07-30 23:07:04] * Aldo_Murgen nods. "Never mind. It was a long time ago."
[07-30 23:07:20] <Aldo_Murgen> "Hurry back. We may need tae move on with short notice."
[07-30 23:07:39] * Viollca nods deeply.
[07-30 23:09:01] <Viollca> ... and will go do what she said
[07-30 23:09:07] <Dionysus> So you go bathe? There's a stream near by
[07-30 23:09:13] <Viollca> yes
[07-30 23:09:38] <Dionysus> All right, does everyone attend Treena's funeral that afternoon?
[07-30 23:09:50] <albert_> yes
[07-30 23:09:57] <Viollca> yes
[07-30 23:10:05] <Matrim_Argent> If invited.
[07-30 23:10:09] <Dionysus> You are.
[07-30 23:10:21] <Dionysus> Paul & Gas are still resting
[07-30 23:10:29] <Dionysus> Dionysus offers to sing a hymn
[07-30 23:10:37] <Dionysus> Caradonna goes.
[07-30 23:10:53] <Dionysus> But the others (Tagm, Mysoner, Askasi, & Naivar), stay behind
[07-30 23:11:19] * Aldo_Murgen will attend and speak, and later inform the head priest of the life temple what happened in Aldergast.
[07-30 23:11:57] <Dionysus> The head priest takes it solemnly, notes that the Silver Warriors are barred from this region by law, & so the life chruch can do nothing about the undead there
[07-30 23:12:08] <Dionysus> He also says he will inform the High Priest of his brother's passing.
[07-30 23:13:12] * Aldo_Murgen will ask about the conditions surrounding Gaspar Tove's high vestment, if any.
[07-30 23:14:24] <Dionysus> The old high priest was about 300, & was human. He just died of old age. Gaspar got the pontificate by vote of the Archbishops. He himself was an Archbishop, having failed to make Silver Warrior so many years ago (bad leg).
[07-30 23:15:20] <Dionysus> By the way, he's high priest of the Maraddonic Life Church, not internationally.
[07-30 23:15:59] <Aldo_Murgen> So, nothing exciting, then.
[07-30 23:16:31] <Dionysus> Well, it makes him the most second powerful life priest alive, since there's no internationally high priest.
[07-30 23:16:39] <Dionysus> The only one more powerful is the elven high priest.
[07-30 23:17:31] <Aldo_Murgen> Those who attend the funeral learn that Aldo and Treena were engaged to be married, but that the marriage was called off. He doesn't explain exactly why. At the end he
gets choked up and has to sit down.
[07-30 23:17:39] <Aldo_Murgen> End of the eulogy, that is.
[07-30 23:17:45] <Dionysus> Dionysus sings a hymn.
[07-30 23:17:47] <Dionysus> r sing 16
[07-30 23:17:48] <Eklem> Dionysus [sing: 16] 19 20 24
[07-30 23:17:51] <Dionysus> It's beautiful.
[07-30 23:17:53] <Matrim_Argent> Oh my.
[07-30 23:18:42] <Dionysus> Anyone else do anything at the funeral?
[07-30 23:18:44] <Aldo_Murgen> The engagement was on the order of 5 human generations ago.
[07-30 23:19:27] <albert_> no
[07-30 23:19:49] <Dionysus> If no one does, then what do you all next?
[07-30 23:19:58] <Aldo_Murgen> [work]
[07-30 23:20:32] * Matrim_Argent plunges the world into war, destroys two of the moons, and goes home.
[07-30 23:20:39] <Aldo_Murgen> [efficient]
[07-30 23:20:43] <Viollca> dice d5
[07-30 23:20:43] <Eklem> 3 | [d5=3]
[07-30 23:20:44] <Aldo_Murgen> [still working here]
[07-30 23:21:30] * albert_ will find caradonna and asks her if she has any idea where the red cloaks are now, or a way to find out
[07-30 23:22:01] <Dionysus> She tells you that Magnus will likely still be in the central Empire, & that finding them won't be too hard. She knows where to ask questions.
[07-30 23:22:48] * Viollca helps as she is able unless she is told she isn't needed, in which case she goes back to her room for the night
[07-30 23:23:12] <albert_> "Good. Because I don't know anyone else in the empire."
[07-30 23:23:20] <Dionysus> The life priest will find you something to do if you insist on helping, but makes you go to bed ata decent hour.
[07-30 23:23:43] <Dionysus> She smiles & puts her arm around you. "Don't worry. Magnus will be glad to hear from us."
[07-30 23:24:14] * Matrim_Argent eventually lets people know that unless his help is needed for aught else, he is honor bound to depart for the capital and attempt to try to get a report to the Emporer.
[07-30 23:24:15] * albert_ grins "I don't know. i think I screwed up that last mission a tad."
[07-30 23:24:34] <Dionysus> Caradonna will look at you like you're mad.
[07-30 23:24:42] <albert_> would we be heading that way?
[07-30 23:24:50] <albert_> "What?"
[07-30 23:24:51] <Dionysus> Well, yes, everything is south of her, pretty much
[07-30 23:25:01] <Dionysus> Caradonna looked at Matrim like he was mad, not Albert.
[07-30 23:25:07] <Dionysus> of here
[07-30 23:25:07] <albert_> oh
[07-30 23:25:38] <albert_> "Doesn't he already know?"
[07-30 23:25:48] <Dionysus> Caradonna says to Matrim, "You still think, after what you've seen, that that bastard doesn't know? That he cares?"
[07-30 23:26:10] <Matrim_Argent> "Something must be done. Perhaps if he hears from enough sources..."
[07-30 23:26:22] <Dionysus> "His own daughter was running the place!"
[07-30 23:26:43] <albert_> "and the duke told him."
[07-30 23:26:44] <Dionysus> ""He's not going to do anything, because he set it up that way!"
[07-30 23:27:04] <Matrim_Argent> "I do not believe that."
[07-30 23:27:41] <albert_> "Why not? He murders children, why would he balk at a prison like that?"
[07-30 23:27:44] <Dionysus> Mysoner says to Matrim, "Sir Argent? Look, I know I lost my title and all, but I swear on my former lands & heirs, the Emperor approves of Aldergast prison. When I was put in there, not a year later, he visited it, Inspected it."
[07-30 23:28:29] <Dionysus> "He knows everything about it & approves of it. The people he puts in there are there because he's holding them ransom against other powerful folk."
[07-30 23:29:01] <Dionysus> "My wife, well, she's why I wasn't done away with. He kept me in prison so she wouldn't go running & tell what she knew about him."
[07-30 23:29:31] * Matrim_Argent shakes his head. "He... he does what..." He stops, clenches his hands, unclenches them.
[07-30 23:29:35] <Dionysus> "After I got caught stealing that tiara, he had her where he wanted her."
[07-30 23:30:27] <Matrim_Argent> "I will not speak of this. My duty is to ensure that he knows what is going on."
[07-30 23:30:38] <albert_> "But he does!"
[07-30 23:30:47] <Dionysus> Mysoner nods. "As you will, Sir Knight."
[07-30 23:31:00] <Dionysus> Caradonna almost looks like she wants to hit you.
[07-30 23:31:20] * Matrim_Argent , being transparent as glass, clearly has a lot of the same doubts, but feels obligated not to speak them.
[07-30 23:31:37] <albert_> "Aren't you going to be in some kind of trouble going back there? Is it really safe for you?"
[07-30 23:32:33] <Matrim_Argent> "I will attempt to be cautious. There are those who know me well and who I believe will hear me out."
[07-30 23:33:08] <Dionysus> Caradonna sighs.
[07-30 23:33:22] <Dionysus> "Albert, we can't let this fool get himself killed."
[07-30 23:33:24] * albert_ sighs, "Well. We're heading that way/ Would you like some company for a while?"
[07-30 23:33:34] <albert_> "Exactly." he grins at her
[07-30 23:33:56] * Matrim_Argent smiles with a bit of relief. "I would."
[07-30 23:33:59] <Aldo_Murgen> [back, reading]
[07-30 23:34:21] <Dionysus> Dionysus speaks up. "I have an errand I wish to run before I do much of anything else, but I would join you all the same. If we run tino the Lovell Tribe of Rom on the way south, I would like to stop in & speak with them."
[07-30 23:34:32] <Dionysus> s/tino/into/
[07-30 23:34:33] <albert_> "We'll have to convince him along the way." he says only half-jokingly as hesmiles good naturedly at the both of them
[07-30 23:34:47] <Dionysus> Caradonna nods at Albert.
[07-30 23:35:15] <Dionysus> Caradonna, by the way, is carving a staff.
[07-30 23:35:18] * Matrim_Argent smiles again. "I would be more than happy to have you along, old friend."
[07-30 23:35:19] <Viollca> one sec, where is this taking place?
[07-30 23:35:22] <albert_> huh
[07-30 23:35:34] <Dionysus> Wherver you gathered. Matrim said he was informing people.
[07-30 23:35:53] <Matrim_Argent> I imagined it as being as I encountered them.
[07-30 23:36:12] <Dionysus> Oh. I assumed you gathered people. Ahh well. Whoever wants to be there can be there.
[07-30 23:36:32] <Viollca> ok, I was under the impression I wasn't gathered yet, so I was being quiet. I will continue to do so.
[07-30 23:36:32] <albert_> Caradonna and i were talking
[07-30 23:37:21] <Dionysus> Dionysus was trailing Mat, & Mysoner was trailing on his own.
[07-30 23:38:36] <Dionysus> "Thank you, Sir. I should think we should all stick together.
[07-30 23:38:37] <Dionysus> "
[07-30 23:38:40] <albert_> "The gypsies?" he asks Dionysus curiously.
[07-30 23:38:43] <Dionysus> (that was Dionysus)
[07-30 23:39:02] <Aldo_Murgen> Where is the maraddonic high temple of life?
[07-30 23:39:06] <Dionysus> He looks to Albert. "Yes, young man. The roma Panch makes the finest violins in the world."
[07-30 23:39:08] <Dionysus> The capital city
[07-30 23:39:13] <Aldo_Murgen> Right.
[07-30 23:40:24] <albert_> "Oh. Really? That is what you play, I hear."
[07-30 23:40:43] <albert_> "So you'll be needing a new one."
[07-30 23:40:46] <Dionysus> "It is my preferred instrument, though I've yet to find one I couldn't figure out. Do you play?"
[07-30 23:41:19] <albert_> "Oh no. Never learned. Very interesting though. Who doesn't enjoy good music?"
[07-30 23:41:51] <Dionysus> "Sinners, mostly."
[07-30 23:42:02] <Dionysus> He smiles. "If you'd like, I can teahc you something."
[07-30 23:42:34] * albert_ laughs "I'm more of an acrobat/magician myself. And a writer of course."
[07-30 23:42:44] <Dionysus> "Oh? Poetry?"
[07-30 23:43:03] * albert_ pulls out a pamphlet "No. Political writing mostly." he hands him one.
[07-30 23:43:16] <albert_> he pulled the pamphlet from beneath his hat
[07-30 23:43:19] <Dionysus> He takes it. "Ahh, well. I've often hoped to find a lyricist..."
[07-30 23:43:32] <albert_> "Although, I have written poetry."
[07-30 23:43:51] <albert_> "I wrote a rather fine piece for the Archduchess Corella.."
[07-30 23:43:52] <Dionysus> "Well, then. Perhaps we can work together."
[07-30 23:44:07] <Dionysus> "I'd love to hear it."
[07-30 23:44:17] <albert_> "I'd love to try." he says enthusiastically.
[07-30 23:44:41] <Dionysus> He smiles. "Excellent."
[07-30 23:44:52] <albert_> "Oh well it's called, 'Famine's Folly'."
[07-30 23:45:15] * albert_ will tell Dionysus all about his poem
[07-30 23:45:23] <Dionysus> "A dour subject, but I could work music for anything."
[07-30 23:45:34] <Dionysus> He likes what he hears.
[07-30 23:45:45] <albert_> "well this was not a topic I would choose. it was commissioned."
[07-30 23:46:06] <Dionysus> He nods. "Sometimes, the best work is commissioned."
[07-30 23:46:41] * Matrim_Argent wanders off.
[07-30 23:46:42] <albert_> "How true. However, I fear this was my first. There is still a long way to go."
[07-30 23:46:54] <Dionysus> Caradonna sits idly by smiling.
[07-30 23:47:14] <Dionysus> "Well, we've plenty of time to work things out. Would you like to try your hand at writing songs with me, then?"
[07-30 23:47:18] <Dionysus> He holds out his hand.
[07-30 23:47:30] * albert_ takes it "Delighted!"
[07-30 23:47:35] <Dionysus> He shakes.
[07-30 23:47:40] <Dionysus> "As am I."
[07-30 23:47:56] <albert_> (so a rebel song has to come of this)
[07-30 23:48:01] <Dionysus> [definitely]
[07-30 23:48:09] <albert_> (awesome)
[07-30 23:48:54] * Matrim_Argent goes off to talk to Viollca.
[07-30 23:52:23] <Dionysus> Aldo, Albert, do anything special after that?
[07-30 23:52:38] <Aldo_Murgen> Can't think of anything.
[07-30 23:52:53] <Dionysus> A'ight.
[07-30 23:53:01] <albert_> start writeing with Dionysus and at night start writing my manifesto
[07-30 23:53:04] <Dionysus> Later that day, a very skilled healer arrives.
[07-30 23:53:14] <Dionysus> On a very fast but tired horse.
[07-30 23:53:45] <Dionysus> When he finds no work is left for him, he just nods & moves on. Does anyone go talk to the Baron?
[07-30 23:54:33] <albert_> no. I don't even know who he is.
[07-30 23:54:51] <Matrim_Argent> I will in a bit, likely.
[07-30 23:55:05] <Dionysus> A'ight. Lemme know when yer done with that stank ass gypsy
[07-30 23:57:00] <Dionysus> So those who are still here, what think ye of the session?
[07-30 23:58:30] <albert_> good
[07-30 23:58:46] <Dionysus> was that fight a bit too tough? too on the npcs?
[07-30 23:58:46] <albert_> that took a lot less time then I thought it would
[07-30 23:58:59] <albert_> I'm glad it was on them and not us
[07-30 23:59:39] <Aldo_Murgen> it was rather disappointing that Treena died so quickly
[07-31 00:00:03] <Dionysus> sorry. i tend to drop the ball & end things too early. gotta workk on that
[07-31 00:00:39] <Aldo_Murgen> no big deal
[07-31 00:01:00] * albert_ would have told Aldo after the funeral that he was sorry for his loss (you were gone, so I didn't say till now)
[07-31 00:01:09] <Dionysus> you have 11 more exes i can throw at you
[07-31 00:01:18] <Aldo_Murgen> correct
[07-31 00:01:57] * Aldo_Murgen says "she was lost to me an age ago" or something similar, then dries his eyes
[07-31 00:02:29] <albert_> he wouldn't have said anything but would have patted you on the shoulder anyway
[07-31 00:09:42] * Aldo_Murgen is imagining Mat and Viollca in a lolita encounter.
[07-31 00:10:02] <Dionysus> they're about the same age
[07-31 00:10:04] <Dionysus> but yeah
[07-31 00:10:46] <Aldo_Murgen> really? I guess I overestimated Mat's age
[07-31 00:11:21] <Aldo_Murgen> i imagine Viollca being much younger than i think she is, for some reason
[07-31 00:11:42] * Matrim_Argent has quit (Excess Flood)
[07-31 00:11:52] <Dionysus> mat's 234, viollca is 19
[07-31 00:12:02] <Aldo_Murgen> really?
[07-31 00:12:09] <Aldo_Murgen> oh, that's a typo
[07-31 00:12:23] * Matrim_Argent (~delirious@35556308.3974cd3.no.cox.net) has joined #Shem
[07-31 00:12:30] <Dionysus> 23
[07-31 00:12:33] <Dionysus> not 234, sorry
[07-31 00:15:26] <Dionysus> Okay, are we ending here?
[07-31 00:15:53] <albert_> are we?
[07-31 00:16:02] <Dionysus> well, i don't wanna move too far along without paul
[07-31 00:16:20] * Viollca is accepting her fate to end up in the grey lands
[07-31 00:17:16] <albert_> sounds good then
[07-31 00:18:19] <Viollca> poo, I was having fun
[07-31 00:18:29] <Viollca> good session billy
[07-31 00:18:50] <Viollca> that battle was one of the toughest I think we've ever had,
[07-31 00:18:58] <Viollca> right up there with Neal
[07-31 00:19:11] <Viollca> 's first fight with the warders
[07-31 00:19:27] <Dionysus> thanks
[07-31 00:19:42] <Dionysus> i think
[07-31 00:19:44] <Dionysus> too tough?
[07-31 00:22:12] <Viollca> tough enough, but I wouldn't go tougher
[07-31 00:22:57] <Dionysus> not until you guys are tougher?
[07-31 00:23:17] <Dionysus> err, not ?
[07-31 00:25:29] <Viollca> I enjoyed the challenge, but I don't think we could have handled anything tougher.
[07-31 00:25:33] <Viollca> comeing over
[07-31 00:25:45] <Dionysus> okay
[07-31 00:28:26] <Aldo_Murgen> I think it possible that we could have handled it slightly better.
[07-31 00:28:39] <Aldo_Murgen> If we had been a bit more powerful I think it would have been pretty easy.
[07-31 00:31:50] <Aldo_Murgen> How much trouble would Melchior have given us if he wasn't taken down immediately?
[07-31 00:40:22] * albert_ has quit (Read error: Operation timed out)
[07-31 00:57:53] <Dionysus> A lot
[07-31 00:57:56] <Dionysus> he was a gray saint
[07-31 00:58:24] <Dionysus> So he was fuck all strong in will & such
[07-31 00:58:42] <Dionysus> & had complete control over the undead
[07-31 00:58:51] <Dionysus> Except the vilechant, who had control of him.
[07-31 00:59:23] <Aldo_Murgen> Ah, so Aldo's temper may have been a stroke of luck for our side.
[07-31 00:59:33] * Dionysus has changed the topic to: friday - nathan's game | saturday - neal's game | love child, scorned by society
[07-31 00:59:38] <Dionysus> yes
[07-31 00:59:44] <Dionysus> it made the ghouls & spectres leave
[07-31 00:59:47] <Dionysus> when he died
[07-31 01:00:05] <Dionysus> the vilechant was the real big problem, in that no one could hit it but you
[07-31 01:01:11] <Aldo_Murgen> Never stand in the way of an enraged hammer-wielding dwarf.
[07-31 01:01:32] <Dionysus> amen.
[07-31 01:03:01] <Aldo_Murgen> Are hordes of undead going to be a frequent obstacle in this campaign?
[07-31 01:03:25] <Dionysus> occassionally, the undead will be a problem
[07-31 01:03:53] <Aldo_Murgen> I was kinda wondering, since it seems likely to underscore the tension between Aldo and Viollca.
[07-31 01:04:17] <Dionysus> indeed, & the importance of aldo & matrim.
[07-31 01:04:18] <Aldo_Murgen> Though, mostly, he just doesn't know what to make of her.
[07-31 01:04:48] <Dionysus> she likes you, of course
[07-31 01:05:42] <Aldo_Murgen> Aldo's abilities have been surprisingly useful. I never really expected the steamworking to be useful.
[07-31 01:06:24] <Dionysus> well, i like to bring up as many aspects of a character as i can. that's why i wanted to have copies of yer character sheets
[07-31 01:06:43] <Aldo_Murgen> Breaking down the door last session was neat. Life faith is awesome vs. undead, of course, but I'm looking forward to more constructive uses of the faith.
[07-31 01:07:19] <Dionysus> i know, i think yer a good one to get as much as ye can out of it
[07-31 01:09:19] <Aldo_Murgen> Who /was/ feeding that elevator's oven?
[07-31 01:09:48] <Dionysus> you guessed right, pretty much. the dead were working it
[07-31 01:10:11] <Aldo_Murgen> Yeah, we're all sinners, then.
[07-31 01:10:35] <Dionysus> ashariel will forgive you.
[07-31 01:11:07] <Aldo_Murgen> Later in the campaign he might have made it self-animate.
[07-31 01:11:18] <Dionysus> with higher faith, ya mean?
[07-31 01:11:30] <Aldo_Murgen> Yeah, later in his career, assuming he survives.
[07-31 01:12:20] <Dionysus> yeah. i imagine his faith will raise at some point. it will be pretty damned cool to see him do some higher level shit
[07-31 01:12:28] <Dionysus> also, reviving the dead to life would be nifty
[07-31 01:14:44] <Aldo_Murgen> I could totally see him animating a workshop full of tools and leading it into battle.
[07-31 01:15:18] <Dionysus> that would be bitchin' in the kitchen
[07-31 01:15:19] <Aldo_Murgen> Or to work, even.
[07-31 01:15:23] <Dionysus> indeed.
[07-31 01:15:42] <Dionysus> would be useful.
[07-31 01:16:21] <Aldo_Murgen> That would be his ultimate weapon, really. A cart full of tools and lumber that assembles itself into a house.
[07-31 01:16:27] <Dionysus> haha
[07-31 01:16:28] <Dionysus> nice
[07-31 01:17:46] <Aldo_Murgen> While he has a smoke.
[07-31 01:17:58] <Dionysus> haha. now, that's style
[07-31 01:23:10] <Dionysus> i am away myself. goodnight, ben
