[11-25 16:32:10] <Dionysus> Your crew of 11 special forces men entered Atanaxus by night on the northern shores of the continent, making their way south through deserts, savannah, & jungles to the hidden

camp of the roachman Ulzgrex's smuggler encampment. After entering & destroying his supply of dangerous poisons, marked to be brought into Maraddon for use by rebels & assassins, your crew split into two teams, both heading via different routes to the Island Bridge that

[11-25 16:32:10] <Dionysus> connects both continents.

[11-25 16:33:06] * Phil_Ken_Sebben is now known as Damon

[11-25 16:34:00] <Damon> I burn that bridge when we come to it.

[11-25 16:34:01] <Dionysus> Captain Damon Argent, Specialist Kaylarr Vernac, & Specialist Sir Arlie Battisto, along with native Brajur, their guide, crossed the Red Swamps to the point where the Island Bridge meets the continent of Taggarus. Behind you, Ulzgrex's trackers hound your steps, possibly supported by Atanaxan Imperial forces.

[11-25 16:34:52] * kaylarr is now known as Kaylarr_

[11-25 16:35:02] <Dionysus> Before you lies the way home: a thousand or more miles of islands so close together you can hop across to the next one, filled with wild animals, native tribesmen, smugglers, pirates, mercenaries, & the occassional hexar or morag.

[11-25 16:35:44] <Dionysus> The rest of your unit is either dead, including your healer & your hunter, or split off with the other group, set to meet you where the Island Bridge forks.

[11-25 16:36:08] <Dionysus> It is low tide, so the islands are further apart than normal, but high tide is in a few hours.

[11-25 16:36:18] <Dionysus> closer than normal.

[11-25 16:36:21] <Dionysus> My bad.

[11-25 16:36:21] * Kaylarr_ has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer)

[11-25 16:37:38] * Dani_ (~Dani@4b89d8f.11813a15.no.cox.net) has joined #shem

[11-25 16:37:38] <Dionysus> Brajur, a constrictor (python man), says, "I can guide you through these islandssss, but you must make me a promissse, Nobleman."

[11-25 16:38:07] <Dionysus> He's been with you since you reached the jungles.

[11-25 16:38:17] <Damon> "What promise?"

[11-25 16:39:04] * Dani_ is now known as kaylarr_

[11-25 16:39:12] <Dionysus> "That when we reach your lands, you will keep my former country men from finding me."

[11-25 16:40:45] <Arlie> "My good man, I'll make that promise provided you can lift us from this din. You'll have earned it, I am sure."

[11-25 16:40:59] * Damon nods. "Get us there and you've got it."

[11-25 16:42:11] <Dionysus> "Then the first thing you must know is to watch to the west. If, in the morning, the sky is red, we must find shelter. If you ever see tall, black clouds to the west, we must take shelter."

[11-25 16:42:33] <Damon> "Storms?"

[11-25 16:42:51] * kaylarr_ is listening

[11-25 16:43:29] <Dionysus> "I have heard them called many things: hurricanoes, typhoons, cyclones. Yes, storms. Some of the worst."

[11-25 16:43:31] <Damon> ( "And make me a promise: If my wife ever tries to have my son killed by a paladin, you'll show up all deus exy (( Hahaa. Sexy )) and imbue m'boy with the power of a god." )

[11-25 16:44:08] <Dionysus> ["Done & done."]

[11-25 16:44:44] <Damon> "We will if we can."

[11-25 16:45:02] <Dionysus> "Have you ever sseen the moragss or heckssarss?"

[11-25 16:45:14] * kaylarr_ nods no

[11-25 16:45:27] <Arlie> (Arlie is 5'10 sandy brown hair, good humored. The been called adventurous and courageous at best, reckless and fickle at worst.)

[11-25 16:45:44] * kaylarr_ nods yes "Far off. Didn't want to get too close, actually."

[11-25 16:45:47] <Damon> "No. Never been terribly inclined."

[11-25 16:46:02] <Arlie> "I've not seen them myself, they sound like an awful fright."

[11-25 16:46:16] * Arlie smiles

[11-25 16:47:09] <Dionysus> "If we sssee a morag, we hide or run. If we ssee a heckssar, we run. If you hear sssomething sso loud & inhuman it hurtss to hear, that issss a morag. I have never heard a heckssar make a sssound."

[11-25 16:47:09] <kaylarr_> (Kaylarr is tall thin and has no hair. He has slate grey eyes and taupe colored skin.)

[11-25 16:47:50] <Dionysus> "Finally, we mussst watch the tidesss. If they rissse while we are on a sssmall island, we may be sssswept away."

[11-25 16:48:55] <Damon> ( Damon's average hight, muscular, clean shaven, short brown hair.. )

[11-25 16:49:15] <Dionysus> [Brajur is about 6'2" normally, but he has a tail in place of legs that is about 9' long. He is well muscled, with a snake's head but human torso & arms, all covered in green & yellow scales. Brajur has a strange curved stick & an amulet of some sort]

[11-25 16:49:36] <Damon> "Remind me to buy a summer home here."

[11-25 16:49:52] <Dionysus> Brajur does his hissing laugh.

[11-25 16:49:57] * Arlie laughs and claps you on the back

[11-25 16:50:34] <kaylarr_> "Shall we?"

[11-25 16:50:36] <Dionysus> "Watch out for hidden deeps in the water."

[11-25 16:50:45] * Damon smiles. "We shall."

[11-25 16:50:46] <Dionysus> Brajur slithers across to the first island.

[11-25 16:50:51] * Damon follows.

[11-25 16:51:29] * kaylarr_ follows

[11-25 16:51:31] * Arlie pulls his sword, the grin fading to a smile, and follows

[11-25 16:51:41] <Dionysus> The first few islands are small & have little vegetation. It's easy to cross & it's very sunny out right now.

[11-25 16:52:33] <Dionysus> The fourth is of some size, with thick brush. You hear tropical birds about, & see the occassional monkey or other small animal in the trees.

[11-25 16:52:37] <Dionysus> There's a small path.

[11-25 16:53:14] * kaylarr_ walks near Damon and a distance away from Arlie

[11-25 16:54:01] <Dionysus> Brajur keeps the lead as well as he can, noting rough spots for you, trying to keep the path relatively clear, for now.

[11-25 16:55:08] <Arlie> "So Damon, first thing you planon doing when you get back?"

[11-25 16:55:12] <Damon> How closely are we being followed?

[11-25 16:55:14] <Dionysus> It's hot as hell, humidity like the worst New Orleans has ever had & then some, & there're lotsa bugs.

[11-25 16:55:21] <Dionysus> The enemy is thought o be maybe a day behind.

[11-25 16:55:31] <Damon> Aight.

[11-25 16:55:31] <kaylarr_> "A thousand miles, huh? We won't be back soon. At least you'll have time to think on that one."

[11-25 16:56:04] <Dionysus> "Depending on the route we take, it might be more. There are ssssaid to be asss many islandsss as ssstarsss in the ssky."

[11-25 16:56:46] * kaylarr_ looks incredulous

[11-25 16:57:00] <Arlie> "We had better arrive in haste. I have a bet with Strof in the other group as to who will arrive their first."

[11-25 16:57:03] * Damon considers the question, smiles, then frowns in response to the length and nods. "What is the time estimate?"

[11-25 16:57:39] <Dionysus> "The fassstessst any have been sssaid to make the journey isss sssicksss monthss."

[11-25 16:57:47] <Arlie> "A tidy sum of 20 drakes riding on the outcome..."

[11-25 16:58:20] * kaylarr_ pointedly ignores Arlie

[11-25 17:00:31] <Arlie> "Ah, six months, splendid." Arlie sighs, fall silent for a few moments.

[11-25 17:01:03] <Dionysus> "At leassst three until we meet the othersss."

[11-25 17:01:11] <Damon> "Six months isn't bad."

[11-25 17:01:18] <Dionysus> "Unlessss they are quick."

[11-25 17:01:29] <kaylarr_> "I suppose it could be worse....somehow."

[11-25 17:01:50] <Dionysus> "The enemy could be clossser."

[11-25 17:02:36] * Damon nods.

[11-25 17:02:40] <kaylarr_> "There's that for certain."

[11-25 17:02:53] <Dionysus> So, being special forces, you are trained & intended to gather your own food while on missions. I'm leaving it up to you: do you have supplies, or are you hunting/fishing?

[11-25 17:03:23] <Arlie> "Well, there's always a hope we could commendeer a ship from some pirates and scallywags. They do have pirates here, right?"

[11-25 17:03:32] <Arlie> Hunting for Arlie

[11-25 17:03:46] <Damon> Probably got minimal supplies and otherwise rely on what we can get, preferably on the move."

[11-25 17:03:47] <Dionysus> "Lotsss, but only piratesss are ssskilled enough to ssail thesse watersss."

[11-25 17:04:30] <Dionysus> So near the end of each day, you need to hunt/fish/gather. Brajur can show you some stuff to eat, but his diet differs from youn's.

[11-25 17:04:49] <Damon> How's the fruit situation?

[11-25 17:04:53] <Damon> And it's 'yourn'.

[11-25 17:05:11] <Dionysus> Varies by island, pretty good here & there.

[11-25 17:05:22] <Dionysus> Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck. I forgot to make Ben give us Eklem.

[11-25 17:05:44] * kaylarr_ gathers

[11-25 17:05:54] <Dionysus> Neal, you don't have Eklem, do you?

[11-25 17:05:58] <Damon> Nope.

[11-25 17:06:15] <Dionysus> Shitfuck.

[11-25 17:06:21] <Damon> Real dice?

[11-25 17:06:44] <Dionysus> I suppose, but I'm gonna try to avoid them at all costs, then, as I don't trust you.

[11-25 17:07:12] <Dionysus> Well, wait, Rob might have the hook up.

[11-25 17:08:35] <Damon> Indeed.

[11-25 17:09:25] <Arlie> (installing, continue on)

[11-25 17:09:42] <Arlie> (who knows if I'll be able to run it...)

[11-25 17:10:31] <Dionysus> The group encounters nothing dangerous for a few days. You cover maybe 20 to 30 miles a day on good days, maybe 3 or 4 on bad ones. Some days, you have to back track because the paths Brajur knows have been washed away or other ones have sprouted up. But for the most part, he is spot on.

[11-25 17:11:09] <Damon> Any sign of persuit closing?

[11-25 17:11:12] <Dionysus> It's slow & difficult, but nothing you can't handle.

[11-25 17:11:36] <Dionysus> The question of pursuit is left in abeyance until I know we have no Eklem or until we have an Eklem.

[11-25 17:12:53] <Dionysus> Brajur informs you of the tribes that live in the islands, a bit.

[11-25 17:13:38] <Dionysus> Each has its own markers, ranging from elaborate signs to minor markings on trees & rocks. These are used to show territory. He teaches you each a few to watch out for, which ones are cannibals, headhunters, or simply xenophobic.

[11-25 17:13:39] * kaylarr_ is interested in hearing about them

[11-25 17:14:06] <Dionysus> Some are friendly, however, & he shows you those, too. One notable one is the singing tribes, near to Abaddon.

[11-25 17:14:55] <Damon> Nice.

[11-25 17:16:18] <Damon> How big's the persuit likely to be?

[11-25 17:17:04] <Dionysus> Hard to say. If it's just Ulzgrex's people, maybe forty or so people. If he got Atanaxan army, maybe a few hundred.

[11-25 17:17:17] <Damon> How good're they at tracking?

[11-25 17:17:47] <Dionysus> Ranges from 13 to 19 (smell)

[11-25 17:18:18] <kaylarr_> are there any tall trees?

[11-25 17:18:23] <Damon> Probably want to avoid as many tribes as possible so's not to get them involved and give warning to the ones we do need to pass near.

[11-25 17:18:42] <Dionysus> Yes, plenty of tall trees

[11-25 17:19:41] <kaylarr_> if I climbed one, could I get an idea of the size of the party following us and how close theyare?

[11-25 17:20:30] <Dionysus> It'd be a roll.

[11-25 17:20:57] <kaylarr_> oh ok

[11-25 17:21:08] <kaylarr_> well we'll wait?

[11-25 17:21:41] <Dionysus> Apparently.

[11-25 17:22:56] <Dionysus> Depends on the tribe. Some could prolly whup even a few hundred Atanaxans, but most would be demolished.

[11-25 17:23:10] <Dionysus> The ones nearer Abaddon are a bit tougher, but generally not as friendly.

[11-25 17:23:17] <Damon> Precisely.

[11-25 17:24:10] <Dionysus> Though it Though it might be a fun idea to lead a hundred Atanaxans into a nest of dangerous cannibals.

[11-25 17:24:24] <Damon> It's one option, if we have to.

[11-25 17:25:50] <kaylarr_> Billy will be right back

[11-25 17:25:51] * Dionysus has quit (Quit: Leaving)

[11-25 17:26:10] <Damon> Ok.

[11-25 17:31:52] * Damon dances.

[11-25 17:33:50] <Damon> Ping?

[11-25 17:34:32] * Dionysus (~walter@4b89d8f.11813a15.no.cox.net) has joined #shem

[11-25 17:34:57] <Dionysus> So where was I?

[11-25 17:35:12] <Damon> Feeding Atanaxans to cannibals.

[11-25 17:35:27] <Dionysus> Who cares who wins?

[11-25 17:35:43] <Damon> I do. Cannibals rock.

[11-25 17:35:45] <kaylarr_> not me

[11-25 17:35:55] <Dionysus> So, Kaylarr, you climb a tree?

[11-25 17:36:03] <kaylarr_> (you should buy some hufu)

[11-25 17:36:07] <kaylarr_> yes

[11-25 17:36:20] <Damon> Why? There's plenty of the real thing about.

[11-25 17:36:30] <kaylarr_> (hah!)

[11-25 17:36:52] <Dionysus> You see tell tale signs of pursuit about a half day back, but numbers cannot be discerned due to brush.

[11-25 17:36:59] <kaylarr_> ok

[11-25 17:37:06] <kaylarr_> I report to the captain

[11-25 17:37:54] <Damon> "Alright. I want you to start hanging back. Make keeping us in sight your first priority, but I want you to be the first to see them if they get closer."

[11-25 17:38:18] <kaylarr_> "And when i see them?"

[11-25 17:38:45] <kaylarr_> (sorry Neal, a bit confused. Does he want me to keep looking from the trees?)

[11-25 17:39:20] <Damon> "Let us know, if possible. If not, use your judgement."

[11-25 17:39:31] <Dionysus> [bug statues!]

[11-25 17:39:45] * kaylarr_ nods and starts to fall behind a little

[11-25 17:40:03] * kaylarr_ starts to make regular checks in the trees

[11-25 17:40:04] <Damon> ( No. Fly missing man, more or less. )

[11-25 17:40:24] <Dionysus> [take a drink]

[11-25 17:41:23] <Damon> ( Teehee )

[11-25 17:41:38] <Dionysus> As you continue, with Kaylarr behind, you find the islands getting bigger & more laden with jungle.

[11-25 17:42:08] <Dionysus> Soon, it is taking a day or so to cross some of the islands themselves.

[11-25 17:42:17] <Dionysus> And your pursuers are closing in.

[11-25 17:42:38] <Damon> Signs yet of how many there are?

[11-25 17:42:38] >Eklem< Hi!

[11-25 17:43:03] >Eklem< Hi!

[11-25 17:43:09] <Dionysus> Looks like what's closest is a small group of about twnety or so, but it looks like an advance group--more are surely ebhind it.

[11-25 17:44:20] <Eklem> 1 | [d2=1]

[11-25 17:44:22] <Dionysus> Atanaxan army, too. Greater fly scouts, lead by a screecher (cicada man) lieutenant.

[11-25 17:44:34] * Eklem has quit (Quit: seeya)

[11-25 17:44:40] <Dionysus> [he'll be right back]

[11-25 17:44:57] <Damon> Right. Probably not a good idea to try to take them even with an ambush.

[11-25 17:45:06] * kaylarr_ will try to catch up and report upon getting that information

[11-25 17:45:26] <Dionysus> The greater flies are small dudes, about the size of a fat halfling. The screecher is a good seven feet in length.

[11-25 17:45:35] <Dionysus> They're all fast as fuck, but the flies are relatively weak.

[11-25 17:45:45] <Dionysus> The screecher would be the problem.

[11-25 17:46:11] * Eklem (~gilbertt@4b89d8f.11813a15.no.cox.net) has joined #shem

[11-25 17:46:17] <Damon> Could I take a screecher?

[11-25 17:46:19] <Arlie> dice d2

[11-25 17:47:00] <Dionysus> Yeah, any of you could, but only if it was alone.

[11-25 17:47:30] <Damon> What're our assets?

[11-25 17:48:41] <Dionysus> Powerful magic, a dude who turns shit to stone, your sword/flame, & Brajur's raw strength. Yourn cunning & skill & bravery. A chance to get good position.

[11-25 17:49:45] <Damon> What magic?

[11-25 17:49:52] <Arlie> Re: powerful magic, I create blue zones as a mutant power, which I then set off

[11-25 17:50:05] <Dionysus> The wild mage. Random, but potentially insanely powerful.

[11-25 17:50:39] <Damon> Always random though?

[11-25 17:50:55] <Dionysus> He can affect normal magic, but it's relatively weak. Still, he does have some skill.

[11-25 17:52:13] <Damon> Elaborate?

[11-25 17:52:22] <Dionysus> He has a 8 meta, a 5 fire, & a 4 air magic

[11-25 17:52:33] <Damon> Alright.

[11-25 17:53:46] <Damon> How much longer can we keep ahead of them?

[11-25 17:54:15] <Dionysus> Not much longer. They're flying. Assuming they can track you well & aren't just lucky, they could prolly catch you in the next two days.

[11-25 17:55:18] <Damon> "Kaylarr. Tonight, can you try to find out what their camping arrangements are like?"

[11-25 17:55:52] <Arlie> "Are you thinking ambush?"

[11-25 17:56:37] <kaylarr_> "I can do it. Report later in the evening, or tomorrow morning?"

[11-25 17:56:38] <Damon> "It might be our only choice."

[11-25 17:57:08] <Damon> "Evening. We'll need you awake tomorrow, too."

[11-25 17:57:33] * kaylarr_ nods and begins to fall behind once more

[11-25 17:57:43] <Dionysus> Rogue, Kaylarr.

[11-25 17:58:47] <Arlie> "Good fellow, that one, a bit stonefaced, but holds his own in the rockiest of situations."

[11-25 17:59:04] <Dionysus> Brajur just gives you a look.

[11-25 18:00:21] <Dionysus> That night, you find their camp fairly easily. They aren't trying to hide. The screecher stays separate from the flies, who are all clustered together, apparently exhausted. The screecher seems not to need to sleep, hanging to the side of huge tree, watching.

[11-25 18:00:48] <kaylarr_> how far off is he?

[11-25 18:01:09] <Dionysus> 15 feet from the flies, 30 feet from you.

[11-25 18:04:06] * kaylarr_ returns to the group and reports to Damon about the state of the flies after a days flying. "But I think I know how to take out the screecher. Unfortunately he doesn't sleep

so if he's dealt with all the others will need to be as well."

[11-25 18:04:34] <Damon> "What are you thinking?"

[11-25 18:06:09] <Arlie> "The big one might be keeping watch, do you need him to sleep?"

[11-25 18:07:00] <kaylarr_> "Well, he'll need to be taken out first because he's awake. However, he'll wake the others while he's being killed. A distraction might work, I don't think he'd wake the others to go check out something. Can't be sure though. But otherwise we'll have to deal with all of them awake."

[11-25 18:07:42] <Damon> How quickly does Kaylarr's ability work?

[11-25 18:07:50] <kaylarr_> depends

[11-25 18:07:58] <kaylarr_> at least a round with him

[11-25 18:08:05] <kaylarr_> probably more

[11-25 18:08:15] <Dionysus> For something that big, it'll take 10 rounds to turn it completely to stone. However, if he hits a vital spot, it will take much shorter to kill him.

[11-25 18:08:30] <Damon> Still not quickly enough to silence him, though?

[11-25 18:08:46] <Dionysus> Two rounds to petrify the noise-maker on that thing.

[11-25 18:09:01] <Dionysus> It's a big organ on his abdomen, if I read the wiki right.

[11-25 18:09:11] <Damon> What about the flies?

[11-25 18:09:39] <Dionysus> Five rounds at most to turn them to stone completely. Grab their huge eyes, three rounds til brain is hit.

[11-25 18:09:52] <kaylarr_> (sorry Neal I was a bit confused. I know how to silence him then)

[11-25 18:10:51] <Damon> ( The two rounds would still give him time to scream, wouldn't it? )

[11-25 18:11:02] <Dionysus> [most likely]

[11-25 18:11:20] <Dionysus> [in other words, luring him away before doing it would be best]

[11-25 18:11:38] <kaylarr_> (yes, but I'm sure he's mighty loud)

[11-25 18:12:06] <Dionysus> [yeah, but far enough away will give you time to kill & be gone before the flies arrive]

[11-25 18:12:27] <Arlie> "I suppose a hit upside the noggin would be insufficient, right?"

[11-25 18:12:39] <Dionysus> [it'd have to be a hard hit]

[11-25 18:12:44] <kaylarr_> "It certainly isn't my style."

[11-25 18:13:07] <Damon> What's the general mentality of a fly soldier?

[11-25 18:13:28] <Dionysus> Stupid, confused without leadership, mostly around for hit-&-run tactics.

[11-25 18:13:40] <Dionysus> But nasty fighters.

[11-25 18:13:43] <kaylarr_> "He's big and fast, I'm not sure /I/ could knock him out."

[11-25 18:14:00] <Damon> Define nasty.

[11-25 18:14:15] <Dionysus> They go for the genitals, throw mud, defecate at you, that sorta thing.

[11-25 18:14:31] <Damon> Lovely.

[11-25 18:14:46] <Damon> Likely to attack in a swarm?

[11-25 18:14:59] <Dionysus> Yes. Likely to run if alone.

[11-25 18:15:44] <Damon> "Alright. Tomorrow we travel for half a day, then set up camp an hour ahead of where they'll stop."

[11-25 18:16:03] <Dionysus> Brajur nods.

[11-25 18:16:10] * kaylarr_ listens

[11-25 18:16:30] <Arlie> "What if they scout?"

[11-25 18:16:55] <Damon> Actually, how far ahead are they likely to scout?

[11-25 18:17:11] <Dionysus> Not much more than an hour of travel, for them.

[11-25 18:17:22] <Dionysus> So you'd be better off a little further than that.

[11-25 18:17:29] <Damon> Change that to two hours, then, to be safe.

[11-25 18:18:19] <Damon> "This will be dirty, but I don't think we have much choice. At night we double back. Kaylarr, draw the screecher away and deal with him."

[11-25 18:19:01] * kaylarr_ nods

[11-25 18:19:54] <Damon> "I'll be standing between the flies and you. They'll try to swarm a lone man, and won't move forward alone if they don't have to."

[11-25 18:20:11] <Damon> "I should be able to buy a few seconds."

[11-25 18:20:35] <Dionysus> Brajur says, "And Sssir Battisssto & I?"

[11-25 18:21:42] <Damon> "Sir Battisto, keep where you can see me and they can't. Do what you need to when things go wrong. Brajur, this isn't your war. Keep going for a few hours when we make camp. We'll catch up tomorrow."

[11-25 18:22:14] <Dionysus> "I can fight, Sssir Argent. I can crussh them in my coilsss."

[11-25 18:22:36] <Dionysus> His tail curls about, illustrating such with the air.

[11-25 18:22:43] <Damon> "I won't tell you to, but if you're volunteering, we'd be happy to have you."

[11-25 18:22:54] <Dionysus> "I will fight, Sssir."

[11-25 18:23:13] <Dionysus> "Shall I go with the ssscreecher or the fliesss?"

[11-25 18:23:31] <Arlie> "Smashing. I must warn all though, as always, that when I say 'run,' please head. Hopefully things will not come to that, but I'll buy you time if I can."

[11-25 18:23:37] <Damon> "Alright. Take a tree near me. Kaylarr can deal with the screecher. Don't attack until the flies have engaged."

[11-25 18:23:39] <Arlie> heed*

[11-25 18:24:09] <Dionysus> "Yesss, ssir."

[11-25 18:24:19] * kaylarr_ nods shortly

[11-25 18:24:35] <Arlie> "I shall alight with you, Brajur. Perhaps I can provide cover from above."

[11-25 18:24:37] * Damon nods. "When we can't hold them off longer, we break towards Kaylarr. If the screecher is dealt with, the flies will probably break when they see it."

[11-25 18:24:45] <Dionysus> Brajur nods.

[11-25 18:24:49] * Arlie nods

[11-25 18:25:24] * Damon smiles grimly. "No pressure, Kaylarr."

[11-25 18:25:43] * Arlie smirks

[11-25 18:25:45] * kaylarr_ smiles slightly

[11-25 18:26:13] <Damon> "Let's go. The earlier we can be in position, the better."

[11-25 18:26:32] <Damon> Scratch that. Still evening.

[11-25 18:26:55] <Damon> "Get a few hours' sleep. We leave early."

[11-25 18:27:17] <Arlie> |r test

[11-25 18:27:55] <Arlie> (they are ordering pizza. Having fun Neal?)

[11-25 18:28:12] <Damon> ( Yays. Yourself? )

[11-25 18:28:56] <kaylarr_> "None taken sir." (sorry bout the delay)

[11-25 18:29:44] <Arlie> (I'm having a good time, I like Arlie. Eklem was fustrating me something awful)

[11-25 18:29:48] <Damon> Eh?

[11-25 18:29:58] <Damon> ( No worries. Pizza is good. )

[11-25 18:30:34] <Dionysus> Okay

[11-25 18:30:47] <Dionysus> Next day, nothing special happens until you enact your plan.

[11-25 18:30:54] <Arlie> =>r

[11-25 18:31:18] <Dionysus> So, Kaylarr, roll rogue.

[11-25 18:32:55] <Eklem> Damon [rogue: 14] 15 17 19

[11-25 18:33:19] <Dionysus> Okay, so Kaylarr reaches the encampment first, to draw out the screecher, yes?

[11-25 18:33:23] <kaylarr_> yes

[11-25 18:33:35] <Dionysus> When you get there, you note three flies are not in the camp.

[11-25 18:33:41] <Dionysus> What do you do?

[11-25 18:33:43] <kaylarr_> in adirection other than the others will be taking when sneaking in

[11-25 18:34:40] <kaylarr_> continue with the plan

[11-25 18:35:39] * kaylarr_ rustles some brush a ways from camp

[11-25 18:35:48] <Dionysus> Eklem, r awa 14

[11-25 18:35:50] <Eklem> kaylarr_ [16] 17 22 23

[11-25 18:36:14] <Dionysus> The screecher detatches himself from the tree & begins flitting through the jungle toward you.

[11-25 18:36:35] * kaylarr_ continues deeper into the jungle

[11-25 18:36:43] <Dionysus> Meanwhile, Arlie & Damon, three flies are buzzing around where you all are waiting.

[11-25 18:37:12] <kaylarr_> he'll create noise to continue him following

[11-25 18:37:15] <Arlie> "Well hello."

[11-25 18:37:17] <Dionysus> They are about four feet long & a good two feet wide. They're wearing black uniforms & wielding small daggers.

[11-25 18:37:35] <Dionysus> But they look tired.

[11-25 18:37:55] <Damon> What're they doing?

[11-25 18:38:02] <Dionysus> Looking for you.

[11-25 18:38:11] <Damon> But not at?

[11-25 18:38:14] <Dionysus> Not yet.

[11-25 18:38:51] <Dionysus> Do anything?

[11-25 18:38:57] <Damon> How long should it take Kaylarr to draw the screecher far enough away?

[11-25 18:39:12] <Dionysus> Fifteen minutes or so.

[11-25 18:39:35] <Damon> Alright. Raise a finger to my lips, and we'll try to keep out of their sight at least a few minutes longer.

[11-25 18:39:57] <Dionysus> Roll rogue.

[11-25 18:40:01] * Arlie nods grimly

[11-25 18:51:56] <Dionysus> It is knocked out, & deeply wounded. Your blade cuts through its weak carapace & knocks it to the ground. It bleeds a purplish color.

[11-25 18:57:34] <Damon> Ow.

[11-25 18:57:58] <Dionysus> The sword strikes the edge of the fly's abdomen, putting a huge gash in it, but not knocking it out of the air.

[11-25 18:58:27] <Dionysus> One fly attempts to put out the flames on its wings, but fails. The other weakly swings for Damon

[11-25 18:59:06] <Damon> And one's lna, and one's on fire.

[11-25 18:59:16] <Dionysus> Oh, right

[11-25 18:59:21] <Dionysus> So it does nothing.

[11-25 18:59:27] <Damon> It bleeds.

[11-25 18:59:30] <Dionysus> Fine, don't take my offer of a free counter-attack.

[11-25 19:03:19] <Damon> No one who can take care of a mortal wound, though.

[11-25 19:03:33] <Dionysus> Lord no.

[11-25 19:04:04] * Damon curses and puts the hurt fly down.

[11-25 19:05:46] <Dionysus> Now, what do you do?

[11-25 19:07:00] * Arlie walks up to it (hold action) "You've best surrender, lad."

[11-25 19:07:18] <Dionysus> It hurls its knife away, & cringes in a pathetic manner.

[11-25 19:08:14] <Damon> Combat over?

[11-25 19:08:19] <Arlie> ok, I'll look at Damon, then go for the knife it hurled.

[11-25 19:08:22] <Dionysus> Yeah

[11-25 19:08:32] * Damon nods to Arlie, then turns to the fly.

[11-25 19:09:05] <Damon> Is the fly gonna live?

[11-25 19:09:16] <Dionysus> Yeah, but it will never fly again

[11-25 19:10:07] <Damon> "There's a village about six miles in that direction. Our guide says the people there aren't bad to outsiders. Start a new life."

[11-25 19:10:19] <Dionysus> It whines & nods.

[11-25 19:11:14] <Dionysus> Now what?

[11-25 19:11:44] <Damon> How was our guide's rogue?

[11-25 19:12:00] <Dionysus> 13

[11-25 19:12:06] <Damon> Actually, this fly's pretty oblivious at the moment.

[11-25 19:12:23] <Dionysus> Very

[11-25 19:12:25] <Damon> "Follow him for a few minutes. Just enough to make sure he doesn't double towards the camp."

[11-25 19:12:37] <Arlie> "Righteo."

[11-25 19:12:39] <Dionysus> Brajur nods.

[11-25 19:12:50] <Arlie> (who were you talking to?)

[11-25 19:12:55] <Damon> Brajur, sorry.

[11-25 19:13:58] <Dionysus> Brajur does so as the fly weakly limps off.

[11-25 19:14:21] <Damon> And waiting resumes.

[11-25 19:14:31] <Dionysus> It gets to be about that time,

[11-25 19:14:48] <Dionysus> what do you do?

[11-25 19:15:24] <Damon> Wait between their camp and where the screecher should be.

[11-25 19:15:40] <Damon> Arlie and Brajur (if he's back) should hide. I'll be in the open.

[11-25 19:33:57] <Dionysus> You can swing & hit the lowest ones. They are shaking off surprise & getting ready to attack.

[11-25 19:34:11] <Damon> I'll hold 'till they do.

[11-25 19:35:44] <kaylarr_> yup

[11-25 19:35:51] <Dionysus> The punch hits you square in the side, knocking the sense out of you & cutting you a bit.

[11-25 19:37:18] <Dionysus> What do you do?

[11-25 19:38:12] <Arlie> wait, confused, hold

[11-25 19:38:28] <Dionysus> The flies begin their attack. Take action, Damon or Arlie?

[11-25 19:38:40] <Damon> Are they all focused on me?

[11-25 19:38:48] <Dionysus> Yes, for this round.

[11-25 19:38:57] <Dionysus> Though next round, some will change course for Arlie.

[11-25 19:39:09] <Damon> Can I tell that?

[11-25 19:39:12] <Dionysus> No.

[11-25 19:39:17] <Damon> Well then.

[11-25 19:39:21] * Damon swings into the swarm.

[11-25 19:39:21] <Dionysus> Not exactly, but you know Arlie is in their view.

[11-25 19:39:55] <Damon> I can't hit.

[11-25 19:40:09] <Dionysus> Arlie, do anything?

[11-25 19:40:19] <Arlie> I rush into battle, swinging. I'm trying to get my back to Damon

[11-25 20:30:45] <Dionysus> Kaylarr has wounds on his head & his side.

[11-25 20:30:46] <Damon> "Arlie, take the kit and see to him. Brajur, watch the other sides."

[11-25 20:30:59] * Damon turns around to face the flies.

[11-25 20:31:02] <Arlie> "Yes, right on it."

[11-25 20:31:09] <Dionysus> Brajur watches. The flies hover, making odd noises at each other.

[11-25 20:36:33] <Dionysus> So, you are all in the middle of a jungle island. Kaylarr is coming to.

[11-25 20:36:42] <Damon> Damn.

[11-25 20:36:48] <Damon> "Are you alright?"

[11-25 20:37:05] * kaylarr_ shakes his head as he sits up "Shit. That didn't go as I thought it would."

[11-25 20:37:21] <Damon> "What happened?"

[11-25 20:37:22] * Arlie stands over the body. "I've got 'im touched up as best I could. Had to cut off a bit of my shirt. Glad my mom raised me to talwasy tusk it in.. Hey he's up."

[11-25 20:37:31] * kaylarr_ probes his side "Yes, it seems so."

[11-25 20:37:32] <Dionysus> Brajur says, "The Atanackssansss are fiercsse"

[11-25 20:37:50] <Arlie> (always tuck*)

[11-25 20:38:00] * kaylarr_ grudgingly thanks Arlie

[11-25 20:38:30] <kaylarr_> "He was too fast, but I did silence him."

[11-25 20:38:43] <Damon> "Good. Can you walk?"

[11-25 20:38:53] <Arlie> "You'll get your chance to return the favor, I'm sure."

[11-25 20:38:53] <kaylarr_> "I underestimated him Sir. Yes, I feel better"

[11-25 20:39:43] <Damon> "Can you fight?"

[11-25 20:39:45] <kaylarr_> "well, a bit anyway" he says as he touches his side

[11-25 20:39:51] <Dionysus> Brajur says, "We ssshould be going, & sssooon."

[11-25 20:39:53] <kaylarr_> "I can try."

[11-25 20:39:59] <kaylarr_> "Lets."

[11-25 20:40:15] <Dionysus> So you all continue on?

[11-25 20:40:20] <Damon> No.

[11-25 20:40:25] <Dionysus> Oh?

[11-25 20:40:52] <Damon> "Then you'll get your chance real soon. We definately can't keep ahead of them now and they won't expect us to come after them again tonight."

[11-25 20:41:09] * Arlie grins

[11-25 20:41:15] <Dionysus> Brajur says, "How do you intend to track them?"

[11-25 20:41:21] * kaylarr_ eyes widen but he nods affirmation

[11-25 20:41:36] <Arlie> "Suppose we'll have to wing it?"

[11-25 20:41:37] <Damon> "If the screecher and flies haven't found each other yet they'll try to meet up at their camp."

[11-25 20:42:04] <Dionysus> "If they don't?"

[11-25 20:42:28] <Arlie> "Then we're no worse off, I suppose."

[11-25 20:42:29] <Damon> "Then we're no worse off than we are now."

[11-25 20:42:32] <Damon> Hah.

[11-25 20:42:49] <Dionysus> Brajur looks at both of you, shrugs. "Very well."

[11-25 20:42:53] <Damon> Presumably they've got supplies there too that they'll want.

[11-25 20:43:05] <kaylarr_> (are we running?)

[11-25 20:43:09] <Dionysus> They were traveling light, but they did have some stuff.

[11-25 20:43:23] <Damon> Moving as fast as possible. We can carry Kaylar if need be.

[11-25 20:43:30] <Dionysus> No need.

[11-25 20:43:32] <kaylarr_> I can still run

[11-25 20:43:39] <Dionysus> You get back to their camp & find it like you all left it.

[11-25 20:43:52] <Damon> Supplies and all?

[11-25 20:43:55] <Dionysus> Yep.

[11-25 20:44:08] <kaylarr_> "I can try and see them" he says as he motions to a tree

[11-25 20:44:20] <Dionysus> It's still night, so that won't do much good.

[11-25 20:45:10] <Dionysus> "WHat now?" asks Brajur

[11-25 20:45:31] <Damon> What're the probabilities for what they'd do in this situation?

[11-25 20:46:17] <Arlie> "If they don't come back, their supplies are forfeit."

[11-25 20:46:59] <Arlie> "In the name of Maradon! 3 smelly water canteens!" He chuckles to himself.

[11-25 20:47:19] <Dionysus> Depends on a lot of things. Atanaxans are notoriously hard to predict, being so damned 'alien'. Basically, the screecher is liable to do anything, with his noise-maker petrified. The flies are likely to run til they pass out, if they don't have a leader at this point. If they didn't come back here, or already left, they're likely going back. If they met up with the screecher, who knows? Maybe lying in wait for you, maybe going back, maybe rest

[11-25 20:47:19] <Dionysus> ing somewhere 'safe'.

[11-25 20:48:12] <Dionysus> The food they were carrying is inedible, but they do have clean water.

[11-25 20:48:16] <Damon> "Alright. Take what we can use. We'll change route and move on. If they're not here now, they're not coming back."

[11-25 20:48:35] <Dionysus> Brajur nods & picks up some water.

[11-25 20:48:55] * kaylarr_ carries something useful

[11-25 20:48:57] * Arlie takes some water

[11-25 20:49:53] <Damon> More travel.

[11-25 20:49:59] <Dionysus> Brajur says, "I know of a different route we can switch to from here, but it will be more difficult to find safe resting places on it--it is very close to the edge of the Bridge.

[11-25 20:50:00] <Dionysus> "

[11-25 20:50:24] <Arlie> "What is dangerous about the edge?"

[11-25 20:50:36] <Dionysus> "The tides might wash us away if we are not careful."

[11-25 20:50:56] <Dionysus> "And the pirates are more likely to stumble upon us."

[11-25 20:51:07] <Damon> "How far to another switching point?"

[11-25 20:51:39] <Dionysus> "Perhaps a day or so, I can get us to a path that leads us along a different route, one that will take us close to Abaddon, though."

[11-25 20:51:59] <Dionysus> [add the hissed esses, if you will]

[11-25 20:52:13] <Damon> "Through what and how close?

[11-25 20:52:14] <Damon> "

[11-25 20:53:07] <Dionysus> "About three hundred miles from Abaddon, but well into the territory that has the moragss."

[11-25 20:53:22] <Damon> "What are the chances of meeting one?"

[11-25 20:53:50] <Dionysus> "They are hard to misssss, that clossse to Abaddon.

[11-25 20:53:51] <Dionysus> "

[11-25 20:54:55] <Damon> "How long would we be on either route before we could switch back?"

[11-25 20:55:43] <Dionysus> "We could switch to a dozen or so different routes each day, really, but of the ones that will bring us all the way? Once or twice a week."

[11-25 20:57:06] <Damon> "How do you three feel about either of the alternate routes?"

[11-25 20:57:56] <kaylarr_> "I can swim, I don't think I'd stand much chance with the morag."

[11-25 20:58:07] <Dionysus> "The dangers are much the same, no matter the route. Some are just slightly worse than others on them. The sea is as deadly as a morag."

[11-25 20:58:43] <kaylarr_> "Which route would the bugs fear more, do you think?"

[11-25 20:59:42] * Arlie grins. "The bugs won't expect us to swing near the morags, and it would make tracking diffcult."

[11-25 20:59:49] <Dionysus> "The bugs fear Abaddon more than the sea, I would guess."

[11-25 20:59:51] <Damon> "Depends on how many of them can fly. The tide's less threat to those."

[11-25 21:00:15] <Dionysus> "Most of them fly, damn them."

[11-25 21:00:25] <Arlie> "Besides, the Morags make the better story."

[11-25 21:00:43] <Arlie> you can decide if he's joking

[11-25 21:00:55] <kaylarr_> "Well then Abaddon helps our odds I suppose. Although I have enough stories."

[11-25 21:01:06] <kaylarr_> he says dryly

[11-25 21:01:19] <Dionysus> "So, to the Islands of Destruction?"

[11-25 21:01:24] * Damon nods grimly. "We can't stay our current course. We'll pass near Abaddon, move as quickly as possible, and in a few days get back to this course."

[11-25 21:01:35] <Damon> "Or one more like it."

[11-25 21:01:46] <Dionysus> Brajur nods. "Let us be moving."

[11-25 21:01:47] * kaylarr_ nods

[11-25 21:02:05] <Arlie> "Lets."

[11-25 21:02:07] <Dionysus> So you travel?

[11-25 21:02:12] <Damon> Yep.

[11-25 21:02:48] <Dionysus> Weeks pass. You avoid the cannibal tribes, the headhunters, the occassional pirate camp. You note signs of pursuit once more, a much larger group, many days behind you.

[11-25 21:03:08] <Dionysus> You mutants now have thick beards & long hair.

[11-25 21:03:32] * kaylarr_ is hairless

[11-25 21:03:36] <Dionysus> It's hot as hell, humid as any tropical island chain would be, & full of the small kind of bug.

[11-25 21:03:41] <Damon> No shaving on the road?

[11-25 21:03:41] * Arlie jokes idly about "going native."

[11-25 21:03:52] <Dionysus> Unlikely you'd take the time, I imagine

[11-25 21:04:13] <Damon> Ok.

[11-25 21:04:16] <Dionysus> Though it's up to you.

[11-25 21:04:21] <Dionysus> I just assumed

[11-25 21:04:49] <Dionysus> Once or twice, a friendly tribe spots you & leaves you food, but more often than not, you have to hunt & gather.

[11-25 21:04:50] <Damon> Actually, it'd be a few minutes every few days, so yeah.

[11-25 21:05:24] <Dionysus> Mostly, wild pigs, fruits, maybe the occassional bird or eggs, fish, maybe some sort of shellfish, that sorta thing.

[11-25 21:05:34] <Damon> Sounds tasty.

[11-25 21:05:45] <Dionysus> As you near Abaddon, after months of travel, you can see the volcanoes of Abaddon in the distance.

[11-25 21:06:03] <Dionysus> It's an ominous sight.

[11-25 21:06:11] <Damon> Oh my.

[11-25 21:06:24] <Dionysus> Once, you even see, in the far distance, a dragon-type morag flying about, but it's miles off & not paying you any mind,.

[11-25 21:06:49] <Damon> We lay low while it's in sight.

[11-25 21:07:03] <Dionysus> Then, one morning, you awake to the sound of screechers sounding out not too far off.

[11-25 21:07:15] <Dionysus> And to the west, the sky is as red as blood.

[11-25 21:07:15] <kaylarr_> how manu

[11-25 21:07:17] <kaylarr_> ?

[11-25 21:07:20] <Damon> How far off is not too far?

[11-25 21:07:23] <Dionysus> A good dozen.

[11-25 21:07:29] <Dionysus> Maybe half a day again.

[11-25 21:08:02] <Damon> "The good thing is that they'll be as unable to act in a storm as we are."

[11-25 21:08:24] <Arlie> "I can blow the wind the opposite direction for a bit, hide the scent."

[11-25 21:08:32] <Dionysus> "The bad thing is, we are close to Abaddon, & morags care not what sort of weather it is."

[11-25 21:08:50] <Damon> "Do it."

[11-25 21:09:01] <Dionysus> Arlie spends the next however long chanting.

[11-25 21:09:06] <Arlie> "Yes sir."

[11-25 21:09:15] <Dionysus> Eklem, diff 1

[11-25 21:09:17] <Damon> "Is there any way to move in one of these storms?"

[11-25 21:09:52] <Dionysus> "Depends on the strength of the storm. Most of them, no. Some of them, if you are careful."

[11-25 21:11:11] <Dionysus> The breeze is blowing.

[11-25 21:11:17] <Damon> "We can't risk being caught in the open if it's one of the former. We'll find a place to dig in while Arlie works, and if the storm's weak enough we'll start moving again then."

[11-25 21:11:48] <Dionysus> Brajur nods, "Follow me. I know what ssssort of sssshelter we need."

[11-25 21:12:04] <Dionysus> He finds you high ground.

[11-25 21:12:11] * Damon follows.

[11-25 21:12:40] <kaylarr_> as do I

[11-25 21:12:48] * Arlie stops his chanting if he has to, follows

[11-25 21:13:49] <Dionysus> So eventually, you are found out by a small group of Atanaxan scouts.

[11-25 21:14:22] <Damon> Flies again?

[11-25 21:14:33] <Dionysus> Two swamp vampires (mosquito men) & three great hive (bee)

[11-25 21:14:49] <Dionysus> The swamp vampires are a good 12 feet in wingspan. The bees are about the size of the flies

[11-25 21:15:06] <Dionysus> You can tell they are nervous, though.

[11-25 21:15:14] <Damon> What do they do on finding us?

[11-25 21:15:25] <Dionysus> They pause, then one of them speaks.

[11-25 21:15:59] <Dionysus> "Mmmaarrraadddooonnsss, sssuuurrreeennnddduuurrr. Wwwweeee hhhhaaavvvveee cccaappptttuurrreeeddd yyyooouuurrr aaaallllllliiieeesss."

[11-25 21:16:50] <Damon> "What do you intend, then?"

[11-25 21:17:02] * Arlie glowers

[11-25 21:17:22] <Dionysus> [assume the funny voice] "You are under arrest. You will be tried."

[11-25 21:17:34] <Dionysus> "This is your custom, yes?"

[11-25 21:18:00] <Damon> "Generally. How long has it been yours?"

[11-25 21:18:14] <Damon> Are we officially at war?

[11-25 21:18:17] <Dionysus> "I do not understand the question."

[11-25 21:18:18] <Dionysus> No.

[11-25 21:19:07] <Damon> And which continent are we technically on?

[11-25 21:19:28] <Dionysus> Atanaxus, since they've got an army at your heels.

[11-25 21:20:04] <Damon> Do the Atanaxans do trials?

[11-25 21:20:20] <Dionysus> Not that you've ever heard of, not for non-Insectoids.

[11-25 21:20:45] <Damon> "I've never heard of you holding trials."

[11-25 21:20:58] <Dionysus> "You will be tried. You will come with us!"

[11-25 21:22:40] <Damon> How strong are swamp vampires?

[11-25 21:22:54] <Dionysus> 17 strength, at least

[11-25 21:23:19] <Damon> Yowza.

[11-25 21:23:54] <Damon> "And if we resist?"

[11-25 21:24:14] <Arlie> "Sir, I've got a zone surrounding me. If things turn bad, you run."

[11-25 21:24:19] <Dionysus> "You will not resist! You will be tried!" He sounds almost frantic.

[11-25 21:24:19] <Arlie> whisper

[11-25 21:25:45] * kaylarr_ flinches

[11-25 21:25:53] <Dionysus> The hives bolt, just fly off. The swampers push forward into your hiding spot, hunching down to get in with you.

[11-25 21:26:23] <Dionysus> Yes

[11-25 21:26:39] <Damon> This's a morag. If they wanna hide with us, they're welcome so long as they play nice.

[11-25 21:26:53] <Dionysus> You hear trees falling.

[11-25 21:27:07] <kaylarr_> "Can we run sur?"

[11-25 21:27:08] <kaylarr_> sir

[11-25 21:27:14] <Dionysus> The wind is picking up.

[11-25 21:27:22] <Dionysus> And it is starting to rain.

[11-25 21:27:22] <Arlie> "Would that be better or worse for us?"

[11-25 21:27:25] <Damon> Coming towards us?

[11-25 21:27:37] <Dionysus> Brajur says, "We shoudl remain hidden."

[11-25 21:27:52] * kaylarr_ hides

[11-25 21:27:54] <Dionysus> In the same way that the storm is coming toward you, yes. Directly toward you? Hard to say.

[11-25 21:27:55] <Damon> "We stay hidden."

[11-25 21:28:41] <Dionysus> The swampires cringe at every tremor.

[11-25 21:29:03] * Damon says quietly, "Arlie, keep the zone up."

[11-25 21:29:08] <Dionysus> Then, you see it.

[11-25 21:29:12] <Arlie> "Yes sir."

[11-25 21:29:45] <Dionysus> It is a bull-type. More horns than you can count, eight-legged, two-headed, twenty feet high, breathing clouds of black vapor that dissolves what it touches.

[11-25 21:29:54] <Dionysus> Rogue, all of you

[11-25 21:30:10] * kaylarr_ glances at Arlie sharply for a moment, until he catches sight of the morag, his mouth dropping open

[11-25 21:30:53] <Dionysus> It begins pawing the ground, like it is about to charge.

[11-25 21:31:05] <kaylarr_> "Can we run now, sir?"

[11-25 21:31:06] * Damon says very quietly, "Don't. Move. Arlie, do it. As far from us as you can."

[11-25 21:31:06] <Arlie> "run."

[11-25 21:31:17] * kaylarr_ runs

[11-25 21:33:13] <Damon> How far away is the morag?

[11-25 21:33:17] <Dionysus> A round.

[11-25 21:34:11] <Damon> "Arlie. Target to the left of it. The rest of you, run South ( or whatever direction is directly away from it )."

[11-25 21:34:23] <Arlie> "Target?"

[11-25 21:34:47] <Damon> ( One moment. )

[11-25 21:35:09] <Dionysus> [you would not be aware, most likely, that he is incapable of targeting. things just sorta happened, normally]

[11-25 21:35:29] <Damon> ( I'm assuming that since a surge is a random burst of magic, a mage can try to target it, and if he's lucky that's where it'll go if a direction based effect comes up. )

[11-25 21:36:15] <Damon> ( Or not. )

[11-25 21:36:21] <Dionysus> He can set his target, & hope the surge affects it, yes, but there's nothing to say it will hit that.

[11-25 21:36:36] <Damon> That's what Damon means when he says that. Try for an area and pray.

[11-25 21:36:42] <Dionysus> Fair enough.

[11-25 21:36:48] <Dionysus> Arlie's reply stands, however.

[11-25 21:45:33] <Dionysus> The hailstones miss everyone else, & just shatter on the morag, which ignores them.

[11-25 21:47:06] <Dionysus> Damon, go.

[11-25 21:47:28] <Damon> Keeps running away from the others, waving the sword and trying to hold its attention.

[11-25 21:48:03] <Dionysus> Swampire says to Arlie, using that shaky insect voice, "I can put you down if you wish, but this is safer."

[11-25 21:51:42] <Dionysus> The morag thunders past Damon, heads lowered, charging like the enraged bull that it is. Three trees are demolished in its patyh, but Damon manages to roll aside... barely.

[11-25 21:54:53] <kaylarr_> to himself "Damn you Arlie!"

[11-25 21:54:58] <Dionysus> Kaylarr is not far away, trying to hide. The swampires have Brajur & Arlie up in the air. Both seem to be comfortable where they are.

[11-25 22:15:18] <Dionysus> The morag blurs slightly & is now moving in slow-motion.

[11-25 22:15:29] <Damon> Niiice.

[11-25 22:15:51] <Damon> Now if we can just get it to charge into deep enough water or something...

[11-25 22:16:11] <Dionysus> No need to roll that ath now. You can actually stop & wait on it if you wanna, but deep water is a few miles off. It's still a danger, of course.

[11-25 22:16:15] <Dionysus> Just slower.

[11-25 22:16:21] <Dionysus> & yer insanely fasty.

[11-25 22:16:31] <Dionysus> More, Arlie, or no?

[11-25 22:16:33] <Arlie> "Kaylarr, are you alright!?"

[11-25 22:16:43] <kaylarr_> "No!"

[11-25 22:16:49] <Damon> Given that the ath boosts endurance, I could do a few miles if I have to.

[11-25 22:17:12] <Dionysus> Yeah, but the morag would take ages to do that at this point, & would likely lose the spell's effects, the both of you.

[11-25 22:17:15] <Damon> Though, depending on how it's slowed relative to the others, we might be able to just get away from it at this point.

[11-25 22:17:32] <Dionysus> It goes once every two rounds, as opposed to once a round

[11-25 22:17:39] <Arlie> "You sound great. Not flat. Wonderful."

[11-25 22:17:42] <Damon> Speed is halved then?

[11-25 22:17:47] <Dionysus> Yes.

[11-25 22:17:57] <Damon> Is that enough to get safely away?

[11-25 22:18:05] <Dionysus> Maybe, unless the spell wears off.

[11-25 22:18:54] <Damon> Well then.

[11-25 22:19:00] <Dionysus> An 8 level harvest spell that is bad for you all.

[11-25 22:19:10] <Dionysus> The morag's strength is increased.

[11-25 22:19:25] <Damon> So no noticeable effect.

[11-25 22:19:40] <Dionysus> If you want, you can notice the extra foot of creater it now makes.

[11-25 22:19:55] <Damon> I notice. I admire. I take pictures.

[11-25 22:20:06] <Dionysus> They come out poorly. Bad lighting

[11-25 22:21:04] <Dionysus> Level 4 chaos spell, bad for you.

[11-25 22:21:18] <Dionysus> Damon, something trips you.

[11-25 22:21:46] * Damon hits the ground, rolls, and regains his feet as quickly as possible.

[11-25 22:22:03] <Dionysus> Which is impressive, considering your ath right now. As far as you can tell, the morag's foot steps caused a tree root to lift & knock you down. You do, in fact, get up immediately

[11-25 22:22:30] <Damon> What we need is a roll of <destruction>, 01, 00.

[11-25 22:22:34] <Dionysus> Which way are you running, by the way?

[11-25 22:22:44] <Dionysus> Still away?

[11-25 22:22:50] <Dionysus> Not toward Kaylarr or nuthin' right?

[11-25 22:24:40] <Damon> Or Arlie. Or the morag.

[11-25 22:27:26] <Dionysus> Fuck it. All of you have clothes made of stone now.

[11-25 22:27:39] <Damon> Yerk.

[11-25 22:27:47] * kaylarr_ strips and then runs again

[11-25 22:41:46] <Damon> I need something fairly light and of a good size.

[11-25 22:41:54] <Dionysus> Damon, you must spend a round cutting free of vines.

[11-25 22:41:59] <Dionysus> You are three rounds ahead of the morag

[11-25 22:42:03] <Dionysus> A branch?

[11-25 22:42:04] <Damon> A handfull of those will work.

[11-25 22:42:08] <Dionysus> Okay, what ya do?

[11-25 22:42:11] <Damon> A branch would be better.

[11-25 22:42:17] <Dionysus> Plenty around

[11-25 22:42:35] <Damon> Try to get a bit more of a lead, then douse the sword, light the branch, hurl the branch, and veer.

[11-25 22:42:49] <Dionysus> Okay, one more surge, then you roll rogue for that.

[11-25 22:43:20] <Dionysus> Uhh, so Arlie, you now have cancer.

[11-25 22:43:24] <Dionysus> Nahh

[11-25 22:43:30] <Dionysus> Make that a strong fever

[11-25 22:43:46] <Damon> Isn't 43 pretty neutral?

[11-25 22:43:59] <Dionysus> Hmm.

[11-25 22:44:06] <Dionysus> Kaylarr, you have a strong fever

[11-25 22:44:31] <Dionysus> [strong pestilence, but doesn't really affect the matter at hand]

[11-25 22:45:07] * kaylarr_ is slightly deliriously trying to climb a tree and hide

[11-25 22:45:41] <Dionysus> Damon, you are hit with a sudden burst of emotion, for Arjuna.

[11-25 22:45:52] <Dionysus> Eklem, r morawa 15

[11-25 22:45:52] <Eklem> Dionysus [morawa: 15] 18 18 22

[11-25 22:45:52] <Damon> What emotion?

[11-25 22:45:55] <Dionysus> Love

[11-25 22:46:09] <Damon> Makes sense. Morag bearing down and all.

[11-25 22:46:10] <Dionysus> The morag plunges after the burning branch. The wind is really strong right now.

[11-25 22:46:26] <Dionysus> You are both cold & wet.

[11-25 22:46:40] <Dionysus> Kaylarr, you are hidden up in a tree with the Atanaxan army marching/flying past.

[11-25 22:46:41] * Damon turns back towards the other direction, looking for Arlie.

[11-25 22:46:52] * Arlie kicks his stone clothes. "Heh."

[11-25 22:46:52] <Dionysus> The swampire that survived is flying after the morag

[11-25 22:47:04] <Dionysus> Cold, wet, & naked, all three of you.

[11-25 22:47:09] <Damon> But alive!

[11-25 22:47:14] <kaylarr_> and shivering

[11-25 22:47:16] <Dionysus> In a blizzicane

[11-25 22:47:24] <Damon> It happens.

[11-25 22:47:33] <Dionysus> Brajur looks like he's falling asleep.,

[11-25 22:47:49] * Damon picks him up.

[11-25 22:48:00] <Dionysus> He's heavy & unwieldy, but you can manage

[11-25 22:48:02] <Arlie> "Come on, chap, Damon! Where have you been?"

[11-25 22:48:26] <Damon> "Having a run to warm myself up. Let's find Kaylarr and get to shelter."

[11-25 22:48:37] <Dionysus> Thunder, lightning, hail, rain, wind.

[11-25 22:49:14] <Dionysus> And you see the Atanaxan forces cresting the hill before you, lead by Ulzgrex, who is wearing what appears to be a Lord's robes.

[11-25 22:49:15] * Arlie helps carry "Did you see where Kaylarr went?"

[11-25 22:49:25] <Dionysus> Arlie gets the tail.

[11-25 22:49:35] <Damon> We three see this?

[11-25 22:49:37] <Dionysus> Ulzgrex is an 8 foot tall roachman.

[11-25 22:49:46] <Dionysus> No, Kaylarr sees them file past under his tree.

[11-25 22:50:06] <Dionysus> Arlie & Damon see it.

[11-25 22:50:10] <Arlie> "Fucking Bollocks."

[11-25 22:50:19] <Damon> Lord of what nation?

[11-25 22:50:47] <Dionysus> An Atanaxan lord, a pretty major one. Thing is, Ulzgrex must not be his real name if he's an Atanaxan lord. You know all of them,.

[11-25 22:51:00] <Dionysus> Know all their names, that is

[11-25 22:51:02] <Damon> And he was the one we raided, yes?

[11-25 22:51:07] <Dionysus> Yes

[11-25 22:51:13] <Damon> Huh.

[11-25 22:51:14] <Dionysus> He's equal in rank to a Maraddonic duke.

[11-25 22:51:35] <Damon> Do they see us?

[11-25 22:51:40] <Dionysus> Oh yes.

[11-25 22:51:55] <Dionysus> Ulzgrex calls out, "Surrender. I have a hundred men here!"

[11-25 22:52:02] * Damon stands at parade attention.

[11-25 22:52:14] <Dionysus> With Brajur in your arms still?

[11-25 22:52:24] * Arlie starts to talk, stops and looks at Damon

[11-25 22:52:26] <Damon> "I have a wild mage and a blue zone."

[11-25 22:52:36] <Damon> As close to parade attention as I can get.

[11-25 22:52:39] <Arlie> "We took out a Morag."

[11-25 22:52:45] <Dionysus> Just making sure.

[11-25 22:53:13] <Dionysus> Ulzgrex says, "You took out a few swampires."

[11-25 22:53:14] <Damon> ( This is hilarious. )

[11-25 22:53:18] <Dionysus> [it's awesome]

[11-25 22:53:31] <Eklem> Dionysus [diff: 12] 21 21 21

[11-25 22:53:49] <Damon> "What's this about a trial?"

[11-25 22:53:55] <Dionysus> Damon, if you use your power, you will set off the blue zone. In character, you don't knwo that.

[11-25 22:54:14] <Dionysus> "I thought, for two great Maraddonian nobles, one would be fitting."

[11-25 22:54:35] <Dionysus> "We tried your friends. They were all found guilty of being un-Atanaxan."

[11-25 22:54:52] <Arlie> You feel goosebumps. Hiss. "You've got a zone as well Sir."

[11-25 22:54:52] <Damon> "What's the punishment for that?"

[11-25 22:55:03] <Dionysus> "I understand my woodpires had them drained in an hour."

[11-25 22:55:09] <Dionysus> [tick men, for the record]

[11-25 22:55:58] <Dionysus> You note all the flying Atanaxans have landed. It's getting hard to stand.

[11-25 22:56:14] <Damon> "I see."

[11-25 22:56:22] <Dionysus> Kaylarr, your tree is bending.

[11-25 22:56:31] * kaylarr_ whimpers slightly in his swaying tree

[11-25 22:57:11] * kaylarr_ holds onto the trunk and tries not to be sick

[11-25 22:57:13] <Dionysus> By the way, since he told you you have a zone, you now know you can set it off.

[11-25 22:57:32] <Damon> "We seem to be at an impasse, then."

[11-25 22:57:38] <Damon> Oh my.

[11-25 22:58:16] <Dionysus> "Come now, Argent, Battisto, I'll bet you could convince us you're a tried & true Atanaxan. You just have to show us your extra legs."

[11-25 22:58:33] <Dionysus> "Oh, wait. I can see them. Not quite enough."

[11-25 22:58:43] <Dionysus> "A little small & pathetic really."

[11-25 22:59:01] <Arlie> "It's cold."

[11-25 22:59:13] <Damon> "Worse for them than us."

[11-25 22:59:18] <Dionysus> [if you both cast at the same time, Argent's power & Arlie's magic, you could potentially get two surges]

[11-25 22:59:27] <Damon> ( Yup. )

[11-25 22:59:57] <Dionysus> "Worst for your snake friend there."

[11-25 23:00:06] <Damon> "Look. You've got nothing I want. I've got nothing I plan on giving you. We're at a standstill. Why don't you just take your army and go home?"

[11-25 23:00:37] <Dionysus> "Because you took away my shipments, & since i can't have those, I want your drained bodies as trophies on my palace wall.?"

[11-25 23:01:11] <Dionysus> Something, in the distance, crashes & splinters. Shockingly, you can hear it above the storm.

[11-25 23:01:18] <Damon> Huh.

[11-25 23:01:21] <Damon> Which direction?

[11-25 23:01:32] <Dionysus> West.

[11-25 23:01:34] <Arlie> "Not again."

[11-25 23:01:41] <Damon> Is that where we were?

[11-25 23:01:50] <Dionysus> Not the way the morag went, nor where you were.

[11-25 23:02:21] <Damon> "That's not a great incentive to surrender!"

[11-25 23:02:42] <Dionysus> "I was just giving you a chance. I suppose we'll have to do this the hard way."

[11-25 23:02:53] <Damon> To Arlie. "Do it."

[11-25 23:02:57] <Dionysus> "Men, ready!"

[11-25 23:02:59] <Dionysus> Do it, kids.

[11-25 23:03:02] * Damon does it.

[11-25 23:04:41] <Dionysus> But.

[11-25 23:05:04] <Dionysus> Hell, I'll be generous. Yer also graced.

[11-25 23:05:09] <Damon> Wow.

[11-25 23:05:25] <Damon> So, the Duke convinces us he's part of our party?

[11-25 23:05:42] <Dionysus> Nope, but the blizzicane picks up.

[11-25 23:06:24] <Damon> Which way was Kaylarr from here?

[11-25 23:06:26] <Dionysus> Everything goes white for a moment.

[11-25 23:06:33] <Dionysus> To the southeast

[11-25 23:06:55] <Damon> And the army is to the southeast as well?

[11-25 23:06:59] <Dionysus> Yes.

[11-25 23:07:06] <Damon> Huh.

[11-25 23:07:08] <Dionysus> The snow is blinding in the gales.

[11-25 23:07:25] * Damon fishes for Arlie.

[11-25 23:07:29] <Arlie> "It's bloody cccold sir,"

[11-25 23:07:37] <Dionysus> You find him right next to you. Brajur feels dead.

[11-25 23:07:45] <Damon> "Run!"

[11-25 23:07:55] <Arlie> "Where?"

[11-25 23:08:08] <Damon> Can we tell which direction's which?

[11-25 23:09:28] <Damon> Where's the nearest village we know of?

[11-25 23:09:39] <Dionysus> Many miles off, on the next island to the east.

[11-25 23:09:54] <Damon> "This way!"

[11-25 23:09:59] * Damon starts northeast.

[11-25 23:10:03] <Dionysus> Noted.

[11-25 23:10:15] <Dionysus> Do you carry Brajur?

[11-25 23:10:18] <Arlie> "What about the guide?"

[11-25 23:10:38] <Arlie> (oh, are you still holding him?)

[11-25 23:10:41] <Damon> ( Yep. )

[11-25 23:10:47] <Damon> And yes.

[11-25 23:10:47] <Arlie> (nevermind.)

[11-25 23:10:52] <Dionysus> It is soooo slow going.

[11-25 23:10:58] <Dionysus> Roll strength, both of you.

[11-25 23:11:18] <Damon> Do I still have the bonus?

[11-25 23:11:29] <Eklem> Damon [strength: 15+3=18] 22 24 27

[11-25 23:11:54] <Dionysus> Damon, you are basically walking in place. Arlie, you're on the ground, trying to hold on for dear life.

[11-25 23:12:22] <Damon> What's the ground like?

[11-25 23:12:41] <Dionysus> Icy at this point, muddy, with the occassional tree root.

[11-25 23:13:04] <Damon> "Hold onto me!"

[11-25 23:13:12] <Arlie> "I, "

[11-25 23:13:50] <Arlie> I grab on to his torso, say a prayer to the Father of Luck,

[11-25 23:14:06] <Damon> "Stay low! We'll move across the wind until we come to a place to dig in!"

[11-25 23:14:17] <Dionysus> Damon, strength again.

[11-25 23:14:19] <Arlie> tell him he owes me a drink, or I owe him a drink. We'll flip for it.

[11-25 23:14:24] <Dionysus> Eklem, r wind 19

[11-25 23:14:24] <Eklem> Dionysus [wind: 19] 24 27 28

[11-25 23:14:33] <Eklem> Damon [strength: 15+3=18] 24 24 26

[11-25 23:14:44] <Damon> S'alright.

[11-25 23:14:45] <Dionysus> Still no forward movement.

[11-25 23:14:54] <Damon> That's the point of moving across the wind rather than against it.

[11-25 23:14:58] <Dionysus> Basically, you get a few steps, then get knocked back, etc.

[11-25 23:15:17] <Dionysus> Ahh, I missed that

[11-25 23:15:18] <Damon> We move at a right angle to it, and make progress in a diagonal direction.

[11-25 23:15:40] <Dionysus> You're still being pushed in the direction of the wind.

[11-25 23:15:50] <Damon> That's why the progress is diagonal.

[11-25 23:15:54] <Dionysus> Yes.

[11-25 23:15:59] <Damon> Right.

[11-25 23:16:05] <Dionysus> Roll dodge.

[11-25 23:16:10] <Damon> So we're looking for a hollow of tree roots, anything useable.

[11-25 23:16:17] <Dionysus> Eklem, r branches 14

[11-25 23:16:18] <Eklem> Damon [dodge: 15+6=21] 25 26 29

[11-25 23:16:36] <Dionysus> The flying branches, Atanaxans, & other debris is easily evaded.

[11-25 23:16:59] <Damon> Hahaa. Atanaxans.

[11-25 23:17:15] <Dionysus> You end up finding shelter behind a large black boulder.

[11-25 23:17:26] <Dionysus> Looks like volcanic rock.

[11-25 23:17:32] * Damon starts digging.

[11-25 23:17:37] <Dionysus> Noted.

[11-25 23:17:43] <Arlie> I help.

[11-25 23:17:47] <Dionysus> Noted.

[11-25 23:17:48] * kaylarr_ shivers

[11-25 23:17:51] <Dionysus> You dig in.

[11-25 23:17:55] <kaylarr_> and clutches his tree

[11-25 23:17:59] <Dionysus> Kaylarr, you prolly pass out eventually.

[11-25 23:18:08] <Damon> We need to hollow out a hole, huddle together in it, and get my sword lit for what heat we can get from it.

[11-25 23:18:20] <Dionysus> Hard work, but doable.

[11-25 23:18:28] <Arlie> at that time, I try to warm the reptile with a fire spell

[11-25 23:18:35] <Damon> Read my mind ^_^

[11-25 23:18:36] * kaylarr_ passes out, hopefully in a position conducive to not falling

[11-25 23:19:15] <Dionysus> He does not get very much warmer.

[11-25 23:19:24] <Dionysus> So you all hunker down for the night?

[11-25 23:19:32] <Damon> For the storm.

[11-25 23:19:37] <Dionysus> Same diff.

[11-25 23:19:38] <Damon> No one sleeps.

[11-25 23:20:02] <Dionysus> Eventually, the storm passes.

[11-25 23:20:14] <Damon> I want Arlie to keep working on the snake while I work on the shelter.

[11-25 23:20:31] <Dionysus> Kaylarr, you awaken to the sight of six orange robed figures with four arms a piece.

[11-25 23:21:59] <Dionysus> When the storm passes, the large black boulder gets up & wanders away.

[11-25 23:22:21] <Dionysus> The bull-morag does not seem to take notice of you.

[11-25 23:22:28] <Damon> Right.

[11-25 23:22:28] <Dionysus> And your spell effects seem to have worn off.

[11-25 23:22:40] * kaylarr_ lays in terror

[11-25 23:22:41] <Damon> Is our guide dead?

[11-25 23:22:50] <Dionysus> No, but he's not well.

[11-25 23:22:59] <Damon> To the village!

[11-25 23:23:01] <Dionysus> The hexars begin making funny noises.

[11-25 23:23:10] <kaylarr_> what kind of noises?

[11-25 23:23:12] <Dionysus> Damon, Arlie, you hear strange chanting from down the way.

[11-25 23:23:20] <Damon> That way!

[11-25 23:23:29] <Damon> Chanting means people.

[11-25 23:23:34] <Dionysus> Ha

[11-25 23:23:36] <kaylarr_> no it doesn't!

[11-25 23:23:57] <Damon> I'd guess we don't know enough about hexars to identify them by voice.

[11-25 23:24:01] <Dionysus> The hexars raise their arms & black energy begins flowing.

[11-25 23:24:03] <Arlie> "If it's the buggers, I can neutralize 'em."

[11-25 23:24:19] <Dionysus> You've never heard a hexar before, so no, though the chanting isn't pleasant.

[11-25 23:24:26] <Damon> "We'll find out."

[11-25 23:24:27] <Dionysus> The energy is floating in the air above them.

[11-25 23:24:28] <Arlie> "See, better stories, right?" Arlie doesn't smile.

[11-25 23:24:30] * Damon trudges.

[11-25 23:24:49] * Damon manages a small smile and nods. "No one will believe it."

[11-25 23:24:53] <Dionysus> As Damon & Arlie walk forward, they see around the trees to find a hex chanting over a pit with black energy floating in the air.

[11-25 23:25:05] <Damon> What's in the pit?

[11-25 23:25:09] <Dionysus> Kaylarr.

[11-25 23:25:15] <Damon> Right.

[11-25 23:25:22] <Arlie> "Is, that kaylarr?"

[11-25 23:25:30] <Dionysus> Around the pit lies about a half dozen various Atanaxans

[11-25 23:25:37] <Damon> "Yes."

[11-25 23:25:44] <Dionysus> Some obviosuly dead, some not.

[11-25 23:25:51] <Damon> "Same plan?"

[11-25 23:25:59] <Dionysus> The black energy focuses into a ball.

[11-25 23:25:59] <Arlie> "Pricks. Yes."

[11-25 23:26:08] <Arlie> Eklem, r blue 17

[11-25 23:26:09] <Eklem> Arlie [blue: 17] 23 25 26

[11-25 23:26:19] <Damon> "I'll try to draw them away. Get anyone who can walk to help you get those who can't out of here."

[11-25 23:26:27] <kaylarr_> under his breath "Oh, fuck!"

[11-25 23:26:33] <Damon> "Meet me at the village."

[11-25 23:26:46] * Damon heads away and calls out, raising his sword.

[11-25 23:27:11] <Dionysus> The ball flies out with incredible speed, striking a distant island, sinking it.

[11-25 23:27:19] <Dionysus> The village is gone.

[11-25 23:27:19] <Arlie> "...jove, not magic, NOT MAGIC!"

[11-25 23:27:30] <Dionysus> s/a/the/

[11-25 23:27:30] * kaylarr_ exhales, slightly

[11-25 23:27:31] <Damon> Showoffs.

[11-25 23:27:41] <Dionysus> This is an entire hex. They do that sort of thing.

[11-25 23:28:02] <Damon> Do they react to us at all?

[11-25 23:28:13] <Dionysus> An Atanaxan or two are starting to wake up. The hex doesn't seem to notice you.

[11-25 23:28:23] * Arlie drops

[11-25 23:28:28] <Dionysus> Amongst the Atanaxans, as you get closer, you notice a pirate or two.

[11-25 23:29:03] * Damon approaches from a 90 degree angle to where Arlie is.

[11-25 23:29:28] <Dionysus> A borer (beatleman) gets up. He's about ten feet tall & six feet wide.

[11-25 23:29:39] <Dionysus> He screeches & charges a hexar.

[11-25 23:29:43] <Dionysus> Place bets, anyone?

[11-25 23:29:50] <kaylarr_> the hexar

[11-25 23:29:55] <kaylarr_> 100 to 1

[11-25 23:30:00] <Damon> I'll take that bet.

[11-25 23:30:07] <Dionysus> Rob?

[11-25 23:30:08] <kaylarr_> you do that

[11-25 23:30:30] <Arlie> I bet on the snake man.

[11-26 00:11:37] <Dionysus> A black gaping hole is ripped in the hexar. Unfortunately, berzerk cancels wound penalties.

[11-26 00:11:45] <Damon> Does it cancel the new stun?

[11-26 00:11:54] <Dionysus> Yeah. Fist blocked with sword, sword blocked with fist, etc. No, new stun holds.

[11-26 00:17:19] <Dionysus> The hexars are soon all dead.

[11-26 00:17:25] <Dionysus> The black ball vanishes

[11-26 00:17:59] <Arlie> I start fishing clothes off the body. "A genlteman never tells." He grunts

[11-26 00:18:17] <Dionysus> Damon, there're dead pirates with clothes you could wear lying around.

[11-26 00:18:21] * kaylarr_ gathers some courage to head stealthily back to the area since the chanting seems to have ceased

[11-26 00:18:33] <Damon> "Well, in the hypothetical case that it was, I would appreciate if you saved that sort of thing for when we're not winning."

[11-26 00:18:43] <Dionysus> A llom (spiderman) attempts to speak to you.

[11-26 00:19:04] <Damon> Which you? Plural?

[11-26 00:19:06] <Dionysus> "Maraddon, we will leave you. No fight now. Maybe future."

[11-26 00:19:09] <Dionysus> Both of you

[11-26 00:19:20] * Arlie stops, pivots. "Sorry, sir, I thought I was naked and fighing demons with tree branches. Guess I got carried away."

[11-26 00:19:40] * Damon nods. "Go safely. Thank you for helping out."

[11-26 00:19:57] <Arlie> "Aye. Thanks."

[11-26 00:20:03] <Dionysus> "You will both be much feared in Taxanalanatxatl."

[11-26 00:20:28] * Damon curls the corner of his lips in a small smile. "See to it you keep a better eye on things next time."

[11-26 00:20:42] * Arlie grins

[11-26 00:20:46] * kaylarr_ joins the other two "I can't believe you did it."

[11-26 00:20:55] <Damon> "Do that. Name's Damon Argent."

[11-26 00:21:30] <Dionysus> "Lord Vekox will be long planning your deaths. Beware. None here will work for him again, but others will. We go now."

[11-26 00:21:34] * kaylarr_ puts on clothes

[11-26 00:21:50] <Damon> Vekox is a name I'd guess I know? Roachish Lord?

[11-26 00:21:52] <Dionysus> The name Lord Vekox is very familiar. He's one of the slimiest, most notorious roachmen dukes out there.

[11-26 00:21:54] <kaylarr_> "Reassuring."

[11-26 00:22:00] <Arlie> "Arlie Battisto. Madder men there have not been."

[11-26 00:22:15] <Dionysus> The Atanaxans leave.

[11-26 00:22:22] * kaylarr_ pats him on the back "For sure."

[11-26 00:22:27] <Dionysus> A few pirates peak from behind tree stumps & such, looking warily at you guys.

[11-26 00:22:32] <Damon> "You alright Kaylarr?"

[11-26 00:22:49] <Arlie> "Where's our guide?"

[11-26 00:22:56] <Dionysus> Back at the hole, I assume.

[11-26 00:23:01] <Damon> Where we left him, hopefully.

[11-26 00:23:06] <kaylarr_> "I nearly shat myself when I woke sir. Truth be told."

[11-26 00:23:22] <Arlie> "I think we elft him o'er here, I'll go check. I don't suppose there are any canteens about, aye?"

[11-26 00:23:34] <Damon> "They were hexars. Not many sane men wouln't come close to that."

[11-26 00:23:38] * Damon nods to Arlie.

[11-26 00:23:54] <Dionysus> A pirate walks up.

[11-26 00:24:06] * Damon looks at the pirate.

[11-26 00:24:19] <Dionysus> "D'you swags think you might be interested in a tour at sea?"

[11-26 00:24:23] <kaylarr_> "Yeah, I'm sane and I sure as hell didn't. Hats off to the ballsiest captain and special officer ever."

[11-26 00:24:44] * kaylarr_ looks down at the pirate

[11-26 00:24:52] <kaylarr_> "Swags?"

[11-26 00:24:58] <Damon> "Are you headed towards Maraddon?"

[11-26 00:25:56] <Dionysus> "My name is Barrow Fiensdane, one of the Isle Bri' Reevers, & we lost much of our crew. You swags seem a hard sort, good for the sea. We could use men like you. Aye, Maraddon,

Merukis, north Atanaxus, Ailanea. We'll raid all ports."

[11-26 00:26:33] * kaylarr_ is about to say something but stops himself and waits for Damon

[11-26 00:28:03] <Dionysus> The weather is warming up considerably from last night. Brajur is breathing shallowly, but seems to be recovering.

[11-26 00:28:38] <Arlie> I'll gather water from a nearby pool, splash it on him, see what happens

[11-26 00:28:48] <Dionysus> s/Ailanea/Akazad/

[11-26 00:28:49] <Damon> "How about a shorter deal? We help you reach Maraddon and pay passage both. In return, you don't sail under a reever flag near Maraddon's coast again."

[11-26 00:29:13] <Dionysus> He pauses. "You someone special up in the Empire?"

[11-26 00:29:39] <Damon> "I am."

[11-26 00:30:06] <Dionysus> "Who be you, then?"

[11-26 00:30:39] <Damon> "Sir Damon Argent."

[11-26 00:30:40] <Arlie> (your sword's still flaming, right?)

[11-26 00:30:50] <Damon> Probably not.

[11-26 00:31:06] <Dionysus> "Be it true that all talented men, save aberrant kind, be noble within your borders?"

[11-26 00:31:46] <Damon> "It's true. Are you talented?"

[11-26 00:32:27] <Dionysus> "I be, as do my mates." He gestures to two men nearby. "Empowered, sir. Our other two crew-mates are none so lucky, but they are a salty lot, good men both."

[11-26 00:32:48] <Damon> Empowered = mutant?

[11-26 00:32:56] <Dionysus> [so you know: talented=any sort of wild talent, or specifically wild or great talent. empowered=mutant]

[11-26 00:33:51] * Damon smiles. "Interested in a more honest life, then?"

[11-26 00:34:24] <Dionysus> "After last night, which came hours early, & this morning, sir, I am interested in a safer lifestyle."

[11-26 00:34:42] <Dionysus> "I hear tell your Emperor has signed more than one privateer in his day."

[11-26 00:34:57] <Damon> "If you'll keep to the laws of the Empire, we'll take you."

[11-26 00:35:47] <Dionysus> "Well, we'll see, shall we? I'll give it a go. Men?" They nod. "Then's settled. We take you to Maraddon, you get us 'tested,' as they call it?"

[11-26 00:36:18] * Damon nods.

[11-26 00:36:56] <Damon> "A priest will verify that you're empowered. It's not a painful test."

[11-26 00:37:19] <Dionysus> "Then help us fix our ship, sir, so we might convey you. It will take a morning's hard work."

[11-26 00:38:09] * Damon nods again. "Let's go. The sooner out of here, the better."

[11-26 00:38:15] * kaylarr_ helps with the repairs

[11-26 00:38:26] * Arlie comes walking back. "What's the plan, Sir?"

[11-26 00:38:31] <Dionysus> So you guys help fix the pirate ship "Daring"

[11-26 00:38:39] <kaylarr_> yes

[11-26 00:39:00] <Arlie> "Our guide is getting warmer, I might could help it along, but the sun will work as fast as I."

[11-26 00:39:35] <Damon> "We stick together, trust them as far as we have to and no further, and get back to the empire faster than expected and by a route the Atanaxans won't anticipate."

[11-26 00:39:44] <Arlie> "Sir, the bodies, should we do something about them?"

[11-26 00:40:08] * Damon nods. "We'll send them off. We can do that much for them, at least."

[11-26 00:40:14] <Dionysus> The pirates say they'll sew up their own in sialcloth & bury them at sea.

[11-26 00:40:23] <Arlie> "As it should be."

[11-26 00:40:43] <Arlie> I start dragging the others into the pit, collect debris

[11-26 00:40:55] * kaylarr_ helps

[11-26 00:41:15] <Dionysus> Noted.

[11-26 00:41:20] * Damon helps with the physical work, says prayers, does what he can.

[11-26 00:41:43] <Dionysus> So by noon, the ship is fixed, the bodies buried.

[11-26 00:42:00] <Dionysus> The five pirates show you the basics of shipcraft so they can sail out.

[11-26 00:42:09] <Damon> Alrighty.

[11-26 00:42:16] * Arlie eyes sparkle

[11-26 00:42:21] <Dionysus> Two weeks later, you pull into Maraddon city.

[11-26 00:42:47] * kaylarr_ is happy to be on solid ground again

[11-26 00:43:03] <Dionysus> On the way, one revelation to note is that one of the mutant pirates is not a he, but a she.

[11-26 00:43:09] <kaylarr_> huh

[11-26 00:43:22] <Damon> Huh, indeed.

[11-26 00:43:24] <Dionysus> They seem nervous around you lot.

[11-26 00:43:32] <Dionysus> But nice enough, as it were,.

[11-26 00:43:44] <Dionysus> They like to drink a fair bit.

[11-26 00:44:22] * Damon doesn't drink much, himself.

[11-26 00:44:22] <Dionysus> After a few days somber time for their lost comrades, they seem to perk up & get more cheerful, though still wary.

[11-26 00:44:32] * Arlie is kind, jokes with them, etc.

[11-26 00:44:36] <Dionysus> Never to drunkenness, Damon doesn't.

[11-26 00:44:53] <Dionysus> You can tell they tone down their savagery about you guys. Like they don't wanna piss you off.

[11-26 00:45:05] * kaylarr_ drinks a bit, but probably doesn't like their liquor much

[11-26 00:45:14] <Dionysus> It's cheap rum

[11-26 00:45:25] * Damon is friendly with them and learns what he can of the ship, and privately makes sure one of the four of us is awake at all times.

[11-26 00:45:26] * Arlie drinks to -2 and no further. He acts much drunker

[11-26 00:45:26] <kaylarr_> yeah, I stop drinking after tasting it

[11-26 00:45:56] <Dionysus> They fly a merchant flag that is clearly not their own.

[11-26 00:46:11] <Dionysus> Once in Maraddon City, do you make good on your deal?

[11-26 00:46:39] <Dionysus> Deals, rather, with the pirates & with the constrictor.

[11-26 00:47:05] <Damon> Of course.

[11-26 00:47:25] <Dionysus> Then Brujar goes into hiding.

[11-26 00:47:48] <Dionysus> The pirates become privateers, knights each of them, except the two humans, who are given rank in the navy

[11-26 00:48:16] <Dionysus> Damon, you are called to Argent Estate immediately.

[11-26 00:48:33] <Damon> I return as soon as possible.

[11-26 00:48:53] <Dionysus> Kaylarr, you are asked to brief the Head of Special Forces.

[11-26 00:48:59] * kaylarr_ does so

[11-26 00:49:05] <Dionysus> Arlie, you are told to do the same

[11-26 00:49:25] <Arlie> If ends are left dangling, I'll help clean them up, the briefing whoever I am told.

[11-26 00:50:08] <Arlie> *then

[11-26 01:02:47] <Arlie> so what did people think?

[11-26 01:03:07] <Arlie> You were a brilliant Damon, Neal.

[11-26 01:04:24] <Damon> Thanks *^_^* Arlie was awesome, too. I liked Kaylarr a lot, though I wish he'd gotten to come out more.

[11-26 01:04:48] <kaylarr_> yeah me too

[11-26 01:04:51] <Dionysus> i think kaylarr was interestingly done, as maedars are typically kinda aloof characters.

[11-26 01:04:55] <Arlie> Arlie was a perfect sidekick for Damon

[11-26 01:04:59] <kaylarr_> unfortunately I was getting my ass kicked instead

[11-26 01:05:11] <Arlie> Kalarr was the straight man

[11-26 01:05:13] <kaylarr_> why thank you

[11-26 01:05:20] <kaylarr_> I was a stealth fighter

[11-26 01:05:28] <kaylarr_> and I couldn't touch those things

[11-26 01:06:32] <Damon> Yeah. And the dice really worked against you against the screecher.

[11-26 01:06:55] <kaylarr_> no kidding!

[11-26 01:07:02] <Arlie> epic!

[11-26 01:07:05] <Dionysus> the dice were fuckers tonight.

[11-26 01:07:08] <kaylarr_> damn you Eklem and rolling me ones!

[11-26 01:07:18] <Dionysus> that wild magic was nuts.

[11-26 01:07:24] <kaylarr_> He's still alive though

[11-26 01:07:44] <Arlie> how about rolling under 5 while surging?

[11-26 01:07:44] <kaylarr_> which means he can continue in the forces

[11-26 01:08:10] <kaylarr_> I imagined him as sort of a quintessential assassin's guild member from Discworld

[11-26 01:08:15] <Dionysus> haha

[11-26 01:08:19] <kaylarr_> although he wears more than just black

[11-26 01:09:08] <Arlie> The surging took a bit long, I thought,

[11-26 01:09:12] <Arlie> sorry about that

[11-26 01:09:21] <kaylarr_> surging was cool

[11-26 01:09:27] <kaylarr_> I really like that Rob

[11-26 01:09:36] <Dionysus> sometimes it took me a sec to think of things, but i don't think it took too long. well, i mean, the morag fight took a long time, but i enjoyed it.

[11-26 01:09:44] <Arlie> Me too

[11-26 01:10:45] <kaylarr_> me too

[11-26 01:11:17] <Arlie> Yes. Damon == bad ass.

[11-26 01:11:17] <Damon> All of the fights were awesome. Even Kaylarr vs. the screecher. Eklem screwed him royally, but that also made the fight epic. He did beat some really high odds as the fight got tougher.

[11-26 01:11:34] <Arlie> Damon versus the hexars

[11-26 01:11:40] <Arlie> Damon versus the morag

[11-26 01:12:26] <kaylarr_> it was a good fight and I was lucky a lot

[11-26 01:17:02] <Damon> Yeah. You were beating rolls against numbers six or seven above you.

[11-26 01:17:18] <Dionysus> dani & rob will be right back. i am making the coalbiters comm for tim.
