PBA 011

[1/16/2014 3:01:14 PM] Kali: All right, good. [1/16/2014 3:03:37 PM] Kali: After a lovely morning shopping, or doing whatever you did instead of shopping, you return to the inn you left your paladin minder at, only to find him gone! Fortunately, he left the bartender a note to give you, which he duly does. There's just a room number and the word "KNOCK" underlined twice on there, though. [1/16/2014 3:03:47 PM] Kalor: ((I'm kind of pissed off today and I really, REALLY want to blow something up. So I guess I'll do the unthinkable and memorize magic missile.)) [1/16/2014 3:04:07 PM] Kali: ((1d4+1 OH NOES!)) [1/16/2014 3:04:15 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): ((That's good, Lira took Mount instead of MM for the shopping trip)) [1/16/2014 3:04:17 PM] Wynn: I'll go get him. [1/16/2014 3:04:23 PM] Jhett: Jhett nods. [1/16/2014 3:04:25 PM] Wynn: Wynn goes to the room and knocks on the door. [1/16/2014 3:04:47 PM] Janis: Janis is carrying a bone, which she tucks away in her cloak [1/16/2014 3:05:31 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) tucks her bought items into her empty sack, to make it easier to carry - extra clothes on the bottom for padding. [1/16/2014 3:05:55 PM] Kali: There's some giggling; some highpitched and some less so, and then Tarak's voice: "Back already? Gimme five minutes to get ow, don't *pinch*, dressed." [1/16/2014 3:06:13 PM] Wynn: Wynn shakes her head and goes back to the others. [1/16/2014 3:06:27 PM] Wynn: ((I'm guessing all that stuff is probably in two large sacks?)) [1/16/2014 3:06:35 PM] Wynn: He'll be out in a minute. [1/16/2014 3:06:35 PM] Jhett: Jhett glances at Wynn. "He coming?" [1/16/2014 3:06:38 PM] Janis: ....was that a girl giggling in there? [1/16/2014 3:06:43 PM] Wynn: I bought rain cloaks for everyone. [1/16/2014 3:06:49 PM] Wynn: Wynn hands them out! [1/16/2014 3:06:56 PM] Janis: Janis takes one. "Thank you." [1/16/2014 3:07:03 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) takes one! "Yes, that was thoughtful. Thanks." [1/16/2014 3:07:14 PM] Nilani: Nilani smiles as she takes hers. [1/16/2014 3:07:15 PM] Kalor: Kalor takes one [1/16/2014 3:07:17 PM] Wynn: Well... thank Tarak. He paid for them. [1/16/2014 3:07:30 PM] Jhett: Thanks. I got one, though, maybe save it for someone else on the ship? [1/16/2014 3:07:47 PM] Wynn: Wynn nods. "I also got extra clothes for any new crew that wake up." [1/16/2014 3:08:19 PM] Jhett: good thinking. [1/16/2014 3:08:25 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Did you get the items on the list? Are we ready to go? [1/16/2014 3:08:34 PM] Wynn: Yes. Just waiting on Tarak. [1/16/2014 3:08:38 PM] Kalor: As long as that new crew does not try to eat us, like the rest did. [1/16/2014 3:08:46 PM] Wynn: Jhett didn't. [1/16/2014 3:08:51 PM] Wynn: He's who I was thinking about. [1/16/2014 3:09:03 PM] Janis: And we're teaching Flamey not to do that. [1/16/2014 3:09:31 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): We'll have to double up, by the way. I only have enough casts for five mounts. Janis, would you want to ride with Jhett? [1/16/2014 3:09:46 PM] Janis: Ok [1/16/2014 3:09:53 PM] Jhett: I don't like eating people. Too stringy. [1/16/2014 3:10:01 PM | Removed 3:10:05 PM] Nilani: This message has been removed. [1/16/2014 3:10:10 PM] Nilani: Nilani grins [1/16/2014 3:10:27 PM] Kali: Tarak, from the top of the steps: Or worse, fattening. [1/16/2014 3:10:41 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) looks at Nilani. "You're with me, then." [1/16/2014 3:10:58 PM] Wynn: Wynn tosses a cloak up to Tarak. "Here. Maybe that armor won't get as dirty this time." [1/16/2014 3:11:00 PM] Kalor: I guess that depends... [1/16/2014 3:11:14 PM] Kalor: ...On whoyou are. [1/16/2014 3:11:17 PM] Janis: ((Do I want to know how undressed Tarak was?)) [1/16/2014 3:11:19 PM] Kalor: Kalor smirks [1/16/2014 3:11:29 PM] Kali: He saunters down them; if you didn't know how much he'd had to drink you'd probably mistake him for sober. He's followed by a pretty half-orc girl and a pretty elf, too. [1/16/2014 3:11:36 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) looks at Kalor. "I think you'll have to double up too." [1/16/2014 3:11:53 PM] Kali: And Tarak catches the cloak. "I don't think it *can* get any dirtier. Thanks." [1/16/2014 3:12:09 PM] Janis: (("Lira the Wiz (Winnie) looks at Kalor. "I think you'll have to double up too."))

((OH GOD! THE PUN!)) [1/16/2014 3:12:50 PM] Kalor: ((XD)) [1/16/2014 3:13:03 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): ((That is if we're assuming zombie-Larry is taking a horse)) [1/16/2014 3:13:07 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): ((Otherwise we're ok)) [1/16/2014 3:13:37 PM] Wynn: ((Larry apparently only wears a chain shirt, so he's not *that* heavy)) [1/16/2014 3:13:45 PM] Kalor: I actually do not know the mount spell. [1/16/2014 3:14:05 PM] Kali: Tarak: You're both wizards and you don't trade spells? [1/16/2014 3:14:20 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) frowns. "I learned Prestidigitation from him already." [1/16/2014 3:14:52 PM] Kalor: And I prefer the school of illusion to conjuration. [1/16/2014 3:15:54 PM] Kali: Tarak: Are other people's spellbooks really like other people's underwear? [1/16/2014 3:16:49 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) has no words. All the speechless. [1/16/2014 3:16:54 PM] Jhett: Jhett snickers. [1/16/2014 3:17:01 PM] Kalor: You mean that they are more difficult to wear? [1/16/2014 3:17:03 PM] Wynn: Wynn fastens her cloak around her shoulders and pulls the hood up over her helm. "Are we ready?" [1/16/2014 3:17:07 PM | Removed 3:17:18 PM] Janis: This message has been removed. [1/16/2014 3:17:30 PM] Janis: Yeah, I think so. [1/16/2014 3:17:36 PM] Nilani: Nilani nods [1/16/2014 3:17:39 PM] Kali: Tarak: No, are they, you know... private. [1/16/2014 3:17:48 PM] Jhett: Jhett looks around. "I'm ready to head back.  Let's go around that pit this time." [1/16/2014 3:18:13 PM] Kali: Tarak: I'll walk. C'mon. [1/16/2014 3:18:23 PM] Kalor: I have heard of wizards installing flame traps in their travel tomes, is that a common practice in undergarments? [1/16/2014 3:18:48 PM] Jhett: Jhett winces. [1/16/2014 3:18:50 PM] Wynn: Wynn grabs the two large sacks and carries them out. [1/16/2014 3:18:59 PM] Kalor: Personally I'm more partial to the simple poison needle trap... [1/16/2014 3:19:01 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) prepares her rain cloak, fastening it and taking the hood with her hands as she looks at Kalor funny. "Ok, mounts last about two hours...and will cut the travel time by about three." [1/16/2014 3:19:22 PM] Janis: Janis turns to Kalor "Why would you put that in your underwear? [1/16/2014 3:19:26 PM] Kali: Tarak: I take it you don't wear any, wizard. [1/16/2014 3:19:34 PM] Janis: Wouldn't it be bad if it went off? [1/16/2014 3:19:40 PM] Jhett: Very bad. [1/16/2014 3:19:40 PM] Kalor: Never, saves both time and money. [1/16/2014 3:19:47 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): ((LOL!)) [1/16/2014 3:19:53 PM] Kali: ((KALOR GOES COMMANDO TOO.)) [1/16/2014 3:19:58 PM] Kali: ((MIND BLOWN.)) [1/16/2014 3:20:45 PM] Kalor: ((If anyone actually asks him he will naturally say he referred to the trap. =p)) [1/16/2014 3:21:19 PM] Graaver: Graaver enters the inn! [1/16/2014 3:21:20 PM] Kali: Tarak: ... Gotta respect somebody with that kind of confidence. [1/16/2014 3:21:48 PM] Nilani: Nilani waves at Graaver [1/16/2014 3:21:57 PM] Kali: Tarak: Or lack of concern for his balls. Either way. [1/16/2014 3:22:02 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) looks at Graaver. "... we were just about to head back to Nation." [1/16/2014 3:22:14 PM] Kali: Spot check, alla y'all. [1/16/2014 3:22:15 PM] Graaver: Oh, well I needed the exercise. [1/16/2014 3:22:16 PM] Janis: ...Graaver? [1/16/2014 3:22:20 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): ((14)) [1/16/2014 3:22:32 PM] Wynn: ((7)) [1/16/2014 3:22:49 PM] Nilani: ((23)) [1/16/2014 3:22:53 PM] Janis: ((And Roll20 crashes on me, two seconds)) [1/16/2014 3:23:05 PM] Graaver: ((24)) [1/16/2014 3:23:05 PM] Janis: ((21)) [1/16/2014 3:23:52 PM] Wynn: ((allayall... I always thought that was regional. lol)) [1/16/2014 3:23:53 PM] Jhett: ((21)) [1/16/2014 3:23:58 PM] Kalor: ((17)) [1/16/2014 3:24:38 PM] Janis: What are you doing here, Graaver? [1/16/2014 3:24:47 PM] Graaver: Meeting up with everyone. What else? [1/16/2014 3:25:17 PM] Kali: Tarak: This is somebody you know? [1/16/2014 3:25:25 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Yes, this is Graaver. [1/16/2014 3:25:25 PM] Wynn: Another of the crew. [1/16/2014 3:25:26 PM] Graaver: Graaver looks at new person. [1/16/2014 3:25:33 PM] Wynn: Graaver, this Tarak, Paladin of St. Cuthbert. [1/16/2014 3:25:53 PM] Kali: Tarak: And he got here by himself too. At least it's daylight, it's not *quite* as fucking stupid now. [1/16/2014 3:25:59 PM] Graaver: Graaver gives a bow and offers a hand to Tarak. [1/16/2014 3:26:05 PM] Graaver: Graaver another paladin! [1/16/2014 3:26:15 PM] Graaver: ((oops. I said that out loud)) [1/16/2014 3:26:32 PM] Kali: Tarak: How do you know? [1/16/2014 3:26:41 PM] Janis: ((Wynn just said so)) [1/16/2014 3:26:42 PM] Graaver: Graaver looks confused. [1/16/2014 3:26:44 PM] Graaver: Wynn said so [1/16/2014 3:27:15 PM] Wynn: Already trying the "ignore your apprentice to try to induce anger" ploy, eh, Tarak? [1/16/2014 3:27:26 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) laughs softly. "(to Graaver) He's a bit of a drunk." [1/16/2014 3:27:37 PM] Graaver: Ah.. [1/16/2014 3:28:01 PM] Kali: Tarak: My mind is elsewhere. [1/16/2014 3:28:16 PM] Janis: ((With the orc and the elf, evidently)) [1/16/2014 3:28:18 PM] Graaver: Of course. It happens to everyone [1/16/2014 3:28:19 PM] Kali: Tarak *eyes* Graaver. "All right, let's get the hell out of here." [1/16/2014 3:28:23 PM] Kalor: Good news, sir monk. I do believe my magic can be tuned to transform your fists into even more lethal weapons. [1/16/2014 3:28:38 PM] Graaver: I don't think I want more lethal weapons. But thank you for the offer [1/16/2014 3:28:58 PM] Wynn: Let's get going before it gets dark again. Here's a rain cloak for you, Graaver. [1/16/2014 3:29:02 PM] Jhett: Jhett slings his pack over his shoulder. [1/16/2014 3:29:03 PM] Wynn: Wynn tosses him a cloak. [1/16/2014 3:29:09 PM] Graaver: Graaver takes it and nods. [1/16/2014 3:29:38 PM] Janis: Janis wraps her cloak tightly around herself [1/16/2014 3:29:47 PM] Wynn: I'll walk with Tarak as long as one of the horses can take these sacks. [1/16/2014 3:29:47 PM] Kalor: No trouble at all, the enchantment is actually made to work on steel, but my studies have led me to believe it can work on flesh as well, in certain circumstances. [1/16/2014 3:29:49 PM] Kali: Tarak: Still enough horses for everyone, or do I get to avoid the homicidal little bastards? [1/16/2014 3:30:08 PM] Janis: You don't like horses? [1/16/2014 3:30:16 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) shakes her head, counting over the party twice. "Definitely not enough, especially if one of the horses is carrying the sacks." [1/16/2014 3:30:21 PM] Graaver: Well if you need to try it out, feel free. I suppose it could be useful [1/16/2014 3:30:30 PM] Kali: Tarak: When they're not biting, kicking, rearing, or being generally completely fucking insane. Which is never. [1/16/2014 3:30:32 PM] Wynn: The sacks aren't *that* heavy. Just a bit bulky. [1/16/2014 3:30:47 PM] Wynn: I take it you don't have a warhorse of your own then? [1/16/2014 3:30:47 PM] Graaver: I can walk. Unless you plan on riding at speed [1/16/2014 3:31:13 PM] Janis: If there are more traps in the woods, we might not want to be going too fast. [1/16/2014 3:31:16 PM] Kali: Tarak: I hate horses. I'll walk, I'll even run; I'm not riding one of those lunatics. [1/16/2014 3:31:22 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Perhaps it would be better to walk, then. [1/16/2014 3:31:42 PM] Jhett: Especially if there are more traps. [1/16/2014 3:31:44 PM] Kalor: I have always been more partial to riding sharks. [1/16/2014 3:31:45 PM] Janis: ((Is it still pouring?)) [1/16/2014 3:31:46 PM] Wynn: Well, we can at least use one to carry all this gear. [1/16/2014 3:31:46 PM] Nilani: Nilani shrugs [1/16/2014 3:31:54 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) nods at Wynn. "Very well." [1/16/2014 3:32:18 PM] Kali: Tarak: He rides sharks without his underpants. Well, finally I met somebody with more balls than Allys. Let's go. [1/16/2014 3:32:31 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) exits the pub! [1/16/2014 3:32:34 PM] Janis: Allys has balls? [1/16/2014 3:32:35 PM] Wynn: Wynn grins slightly. [1/16/2014 3:32:35 PM] Nilani: Nilani pulls off her old cloak, which is rather muddy, dons the new one, and shakes her old one out outside. [1/16/2014 3:32:47 PM] Graaver: Graaver follows outside. [1/16/2014 3:32:54 PM] Janis: ...ew. [1/16/2014 3:32:57 PM] Janis: Janis follows [1/16/2014 3:33:03 PM] Kalor: Kalor follows [1/16/2014 3:33:09 PM] Kali: Tarak goes first again. [1/16/2014 3:33:10 PM] Wynn: ((Janis' fan theory gets some traction)) [1/16/2014 3:33:17 PM] Wynn: Wynn brings up the rear! [1/16/2014 3:33:24 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) casts Mount, making sure to summon a light horse. [1/16/2014 3:33:35 PM] Jhett: Jhett goes with the group. [1/16/2014 3:33:54 PM] Nilani: Nilani stays close to the mages [1/16/2014 3:34:18 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) leads the horse over to Wynn by the bridle. "Afraid I don't have a lead..." [1/16/2014 3:34:41 PM] Wynn: It's all right. [1/16/2014 3:34:49 PM] Wynn: Wynn loads the sacks on the horse! [1/16/2014 3:35:11 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) walks next to Wynn and the horse as she follows the party! [1/16/2014 3:35:29 PM] Kali: Tarak: So, any more people in the hellhole I haven't met, or don't remember? [1/16/2014 3:35:38 PM] Wynn: Yes. [1/16/2014 3:35:40 PM] Janis: Kes [1/16/2014 3:35:46 PM] Kali: It's still raining, but it's gone down to about a drizzle. [1/16/2014 3:35:55 PM] Wynn: There is also an elf named Raven. [1/16/2014 3:36:03 PM] Jhett: I've never seen him. [1/16/2014 3:36:17 PM] Janis: Most of us have only seen him briefly. [1/16/2014 3:36:17 PM] Kali: Tarak: Which one's the Academy girl? [1/16/2014 3:36:24 PM] Wynn: Kestrel. [1/16/2014 3:36:28 PM] Janis: That's Kes [1/16/2014 3:36:53 PM] Kalor: There is also a ghost in the library, cheery lass, has a sword through her chest. Doesn't speak much. [1/16/2014 3:37:06 PM] Janis: Oh, and Talas, of course. [1/16/2014 3:37:45 PM] Kali: Tarak: Any of 'em gonna be problematic? [1/16/2014 3:37:52 PM] Wynn: No. [1/16/2014 3:37:58 PM] Jhett: There's a lot of ghosts. They dont' seem to do anything but show up and be spooky. [1/16/2014 3:38:02 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) shrugs. "None of us really know where Raven disappeared off to." [1/16/2014 3:38:15 PM] Kali: Tarak: Didja do a systematic search? [1/16/2014 3:38:18 PM] Janis: And Talas is nice if you don't mess with her. [1/16/2014 3:38:26 PM] Wynn: Wynn runs a hand down the horse's neck. [1/16/2014 3:38:36 PM] Janis: Not really, no. [1/16/2014 3:38:47 PM] Janis: We didn't look much. [1/16/2014 3:39:23 PM] Kalor: Kalor itches his neck [1/16/2014 3:39:40 PM] Jhett: He's probably in the Forest. [1/16/2014 3:40:05 PM] Kali: Tarak snorts. "Yeah, we better do that when we get back. Allys'll have a goddamn conniption otherwise." [1/16/2014 3:40:12 PM] Kali: Notice checks. [1/16/2014 3:40:20 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): ((10)) [1/16/2014 3:40:26 PM] Wynn: ((20)) [1/16/2014 3:40:28 PM] Nilani: ((19)) [1/16/2014 3:40:29 PM] Graaver: ((24)) [1/16/2014 3:40:31 PM] Jhett: ((20)) [1/16/2014 3:40:31 PM] Janis: ((27, Janis uses super-sight)) [1/16/2014 3:40:36 PM] Kalor: ((11)) [1/16/2014 3:41:31 PM] Kali: Everyone but Lira and Sash hears some rustling in the trees, a ways into the woods where it can't be seen. [1/16/2014 3:41:55 PM] Janis: Janis perks up and keeps her bow out and ready [1/16/2014 3:42:04 PM] Graaver: Graaver thinks nothing of it! [1/16/2014 3:42:26 PM] Nilani: Nilani draws her crossbow, but keeps it under her cloak. [1/16/2014 3:42:35 PM] Jhett: Jhett looks around, hearing the rustling underbrush. "You hear that?" [1/16/2014 3:42:45 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Hear what? [1/16/2014 3:42:50 PM] Wynn: Wynn shifts to the left side of the horse and pulls her shield down to her arm. [1/16/2014 3:43:08 PM] Janis: Yeah. Try and keep cool. [1/16/2014 3:43:26 PM] Janis: If it's Wolves, we don't want them to know we heard them. [1/16/2014 3:43:33 PM | Edited 3:43:43 PM] Janis: ((Janis was speaking quietly.)) [1/16/2014 3:43:38 PM] Kali: A human head falls on the ground in front of Tarak, and rolls back to Wynn, landing face down. [1/16/2014 3:43:51 PM] Janis: Janis screams [1/16/2014 3:43:57 PM] Wynn: That's unpleasant. [1/16/2014 3:44:02 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) stays on the horse's right side, and  leaps into the air at the sight of the head! [1/16/2014 3:44:10 PM] Nilani: Nilani is thoroughly weirded out [1/16/2014 3:44:25 PM] Wynn: One of yours, Tarak? [1/16/2014 3:44:44 PM] Kalor: Well, someone has a funny sense of welcoming [1/16/2014 3:44:48 PM] Kali: Tarak draws his sword and uses it to turn over the head so he can see the face. [1/16/2014 3:44:58 PM] Wynn: Just stick together, everyone. Don't go separating. [1/16/2014 3:45:15 PM] Graaver: Is it normal for heads to roll around here? [1/16/2014 3:45:20 PM] Kali: Tarak: Nah, this one's fresh. [1/16/2014 3:45:26 PM] Jhett: Hrm. [1/16/2014 3:45:31 PM] Wynn: Janis, can you come back and keep the horse calm if anything happens? [1/16/2014 3:45:37 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): No, it's not normal... [1/16/2014 3:45:40 PM] Wynn: Wouldn't do to have her run off with all our gear. [1/16/2014 3:45:46 PM] Janis: Janis stays near the horse [1/16/2014 3:45:47 PM] Kali: Tarak pushes it over so the still-oozing neckhole is visible. [1/16/2014 3:45:57 PM] Jhett: You recognize him? [1/16/2014 3:46:00 PM] Janis: ...ew, gross. [1/16/2014 3:46:14 PM] Kali: Tarak: Looks familiar, but a lot of people look familiar. [1/16/2014 3:46:25 PM] Kalor: It's just cut right off in one clean chunk [1/16/2014 3:46:30 PM] Kali: Tarak: I think he just died. Nice and... fresh. [1/16/2014 3:46:47 PM] Janis: Janis looks in the direction the head came from [1/16/2014 3:46:54 PM] Kalor: Takes a lot of force to cut a neck cleanly like that. [1/16/2014 3:46:55 PM] Janis: ...meaning the killer's probably still here. [1/16/2014 3:47:03 PM] Wynn: Wynn looks up! [1/16/2014 3:47:17 PM] Kali: Tarak: Well, I guess we got a couple choices. We could stay here and bury this sorry son of a bitch, or try to find whoever did it, or... [1/16/2014 3:47:23 PM] Nilani: Nilani looks around suspiciously [1/16/2014 3:47:29 PM] Kali: He goes quiet as there's a *big* rustling noise in the forest. [1/16/2014 3:47:33 PM] Wynn: So help me, Kalor, if you yell "Run"... [1/16/2014 3:47:37 PM] Graaver: Graaver keeps close-ish to Janis. [1/16/2014 3:47:44 PM] Kali: It sounds like a flood coming your way, or an avalanche. [1/16/2014 3:47:52 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) runs her hand down the horse's side, her expression becoming worried. [1/16/2014 3:47:56 PM] Kali: Maybe a cattle stampede. [1/16/2014 3:47:56 PM] Janis: ............that's big...... [1/16/2014 3:48:05 PM] Kalor: Well, as we all know, logic is merely the way to be wrong with authority. [1/16/2014 3:48:46 PM] Jhett: Jhett looks toward the sound. [1/16/2014 3:48:49 PM] Wynn: Well... maybe running out of the way isn't the *worst* idea. [1/16/2014 3:49:14 PM] Graaver: ((you're all a lot more mellow than I remember. It's like a bunch of Graavers)) [1/16/2014 3:49:16 PM] Kali: You can see trees being knocked down! [1/16/2014 3:49:29 PM] Janis: ......guys? [1/16/2014 3:49:31 PM] Wynn: ((lol well we narrowly avoided pissing off five drunk dragons.)) [1/16/2014 3:49:37 PM] Kalor: We shoudl probably run. [1/16/2014 3:49:38 PM] Wynn: Let's go. Quickly. Stay together. [1/16/2014 3:49:40 PM] Kali: And then, suddenly, an *enormous* dragon pops out of the woods, with a human corpse in its teeth! [1/16/2014 3:49:49 PM] Wynn: ... Tarak? [1/16/2014 3:49:49 PM] Kali: A headless human corpse. [1/16/2014 3:49:55 PM] Janis: I don't think that's a good dragon! [1/16/2014 3:49:59 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) pales, turning white as a sheet. [1/16/2014 3:50:01 PM] Kali: Tarak: ... yeah, maybe it's time for you people to run. [1/16/2014 3:50:27 PM] Wynn: Go! [1/16/2014 3:50:28 PM] Kali: Tarak: Take 'em back to the ship! [1/16/2014 3:50:34 PM] Janis: What about you? [1/16/2014 3:50:42 PM] Kali: The dragon spits out the corpse. [1/16/2014 3:50:54 PM] Jhett: Jhett eyes the corpse. [1/16/2014 3:51:06 PM] Kali: It's headless! [1/16/2014 3:51:20 PM] Kali: And very bloody, and slightly chewed. [1/16/2014 3:51:22 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) tries some diplomacy! "yth jatil wux thric levnim origato udoka dolruth" [1/16/2014 3:51:31 PM] Kali: ((Translation?)) [1/16/2014 3:51:43 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): ((4. We mean you no harm let us pass)) [1/16/2014 3:52:01 PM] Kali: The dragon raises a gigantic, razorsharp claw! [1/16/2014 3:52:09 PM] Kali: Tarak: Go! [1/16/2014 3:52:13 PM] Wynn: Wynn tries to put Janis on the horse. "Go!" [1/16/2014 3:52:14 PM] Nilani: Nilani grabs someone and runs [1/16/2014 3:52:23 PM] Janis: Janis takes the reins [1/16/2014 3:52:23 PM] Kali: Who is Nilani grabbing? [1/16/2014 3:52:30 PM] Kalor: I don't think it's interested in talking, RUN! [1/16/2014 3:52:34 PM] Graaver: Graaver helps with grabbing Janis, then runs [1/16/2014 3:52:34 PM] Nilani: ((whoever's closest!)) [1/16/2014 3:52:36 PM] Janis: Lira, can you summon more horses? [1/16/2014 3:52:39 PM] Kalor: Kalor grabs Lira and runs after the others [1/16/2014 3:52:42 PM] Kali: Nilani grabs Jhett! [1/16/2014 3:52:45 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): It'd take too l-! [1/16/2014 3:52:52 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) runs with Kalor as she is grabbed. [1/16/2014 3:53:01 PM] Kali: The dragon spits out a helmet. "Uh, hi!" [1/16/2014 3:53:13 PM] Janis: .....hi? [1/16/2014 3:53:17 PM] Jhett: Jhett blinks in surprise as Nilani grabs him by the collar just in time to hear the dragon's greeting. [1/16/2014 3:53:18 PM] Kalor: Kalor stope [1/16/2014 3:53:22 PM] Janis: Janis waves back, cautiously [1/16/2014 3:53:25 PM] Kalor: stops [1/16/2014 3:53:29 PM] Kali: Dragon: This isn't what it looks like! [1/16/2014 3:53:31 PM] Jhett: ... hi. [1/16/2014 3:53:37 PM] Graaver: Graaver stops.. very confused. [1/16/2014 3:53:41 PM] Jhett: .... that's a headless corpse. [1/16/2014 3:53:44 PM] Nilani: Nilani stops running, turns around, and smiles uneasily [1/16/2014 3:53:48 PM] Janis: ...it kind of looks like you were eating someone [1/16/2014 3:53:53 PM] Kalor: That's a man's head [1/16/2014 3:54:06 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) tries to sense the dragon's motive! [1/16/2014 3:54:11 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): ((15)) [1/16/2014 3:54:39 PM] Janis: ((16 SM as well)) [1/16/2014 3:54:41 PM] Kali: Dragon: ... oh. Well, I guess it *is* what it looks like, then. [1/16/2014 3:54:44 PM] Kalor: That. Is a man's. Head. [1/16/2014 3:54:58 PM] Janis: ((...is that a Wild Wild West ref?)) [1/16/2014 3:55:01 PM] Kali: Dragon: Well, *yes*, but he was *bad.* And tasted like garlic, ew! [1/16/2014 3:55:05 PM] Nilani: ((SM:19)) [1/16/2014 3:55:07 PM] Kalor: ((Gold star!)) [1/16/2014 3:55:14 PM] Kali: It *seems* like a truthful dragon. [1/16/2014 3:55:27 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) looks at Kalor and then at the Dragon and then back again. [1/16/2014 3:55:37 PM] Kalor: Oh, in that case I guess it doesn't matter. [1/16/2014 3:55:40 PM] Wynn: Let's... uh... [1/16/2014 3:55:46 PM] Jhett: ...garlic? [1/16/2014 3:55:49 PM] Graaver: Graaver lets everybody talk, standing a bit awkwardly [1/16/2014 3:55:52 PM] Kalor: Kalor nods at the corpse. [1/16/2014 3:55:54 PM] Nilani: Nilani reholsters her crossbow [1/16/2014 3:56:09 PM] Kali: Dragon: Not that I mind garlic. I mean, a little garlic on a nice boar, roasted. Maybe a bushel of potatoes too. [1/16/2014 3:56:23 PM] Janis: ...um...you have a name? [1/16/2014 3:56:31 PM] Kalor: Have you considered altering his taste with magic? The flesh is inert now so it should be very simple for a great wyrm such as yourself. [1/16/2014 3:56:48 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) stares at Kalor. "....." [1/16/2014 3:56:58 PM] Wynn: Wynn looks at Kalor sideways. [1/16/2014 3:57:06 PM] Wynn: Really, wizard? [1/16/2014 3:57:08 PM] Kali: Dragon: Oh, I don't do magic! But that's a very good suggestion. [1/16/2014 3:57:09 PM] Nilani: Nilani is stonefaced [1/16/2014 3:57:17 PM] Jhett: Jhett glances at Tarak to see his reaction to all of this. [1/16/2014 3:57:44 PM] Kali: Tarak still has his sword ready, and he's staying quiet--and within charging distance of the dragon. [1/16/2014 3:58:00 PM] Wynn: It was nice to meet you, dragon. But we were just on our way. [1/16/2014 3:58:09 PM] Kalor: What? He said it was a bad man right? Don't argue with the great wyrm. [1/16/2014 3:58:24 PM] Kali: Dragon: He was very bad! ... hey, don't I know you? [1/16/2014 3:58:38 PM] Jhett: ... you might have come onto our ship the other day in humanoid form. [1/16/2014 3:58:44 PM] Jhett: You might have been drunk. [1/16/2014 3:58:49 PM] Kali: The dragon leans over and moves its terrible claws over to Wynn. [1/16/2014 3:59:08 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) frowns a bit, looking at Wynn worriedly! [1/16/2014 3:59:15 PM] Wynn: Wynn raises her head and lowers her hood. [1/16/2014 3:59:18 PM] Janis: ........oh Gods, it's one of them. [1/16/2014 3:59:27 PM] Janis: The drunk guys. [1/16/2014 3:59:33 PM] Kali: The dragon picks Wynn up and inspects her. [1/16/2014 3:59:41 PM] Janis: Hey! [1/16/2014 3:59:51 PM | Edited 3:59:57 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): (whispers to Janis) Let's hope it isn't the Copper. [1/16/2014 4:00:00 PM] Wynn: Taivo? [1/16/2014 4:00:56 PM] Kali: The dragon huffs. [1/16/2014 4:01:06 PM] Kalor: ((He's a dragon that doesn't do magic?)) [1/16/2014 4:01:22 PM] Kali: Dragon: I'm a *girl.* [1/16/2014 4:01:29 PM] Kalor: ((But magic is sort of their thing)) [1/16/2014 4:01:34 PM] Kali: Dragon: Taivo is a *boy*. Can't you tell the *difference*? [1/16/2014 4:01:35 PM] Wynn: Wynn clears her throat. "Would you mind putting me down?" [1/16/2014 4:01:44 PM] Janis: ...were you the one who liked riddles? [1/16/2014 4:01:52 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) looks at Janis with alarm! [1/16/2014 4:01:58 PM] Jhett: You're all large and scary to us. [1/16/2014 4:02:14 PM] Wynn: Cherys or Isla? [1/16/2014 4:02:15 PM] Kalor: Large yes, scary... Not so much. [1/16/2014 4:02:17 PM] Kali: The dragon's pointed, spiky ears perk up. "Riddles? Do you like riddles tooooooo?" [1/16/2014 4:02:20 PM] Janis: That's racist, Jhett. [1/16/2014 4:02:22 PM] Wynn: I'm afraid I didn't catch which of you was which. [1/16/2014 4:02:27 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) curses in Elvish! [1/16/2014 4:02:38 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): She traps people in her cave...!! [1/16/2014 4:02:44 PM] Jhett: ... fair enough, I apologize. [1/16/2014 4:02:52 PM] Kali: She sets Wynn down and pats Wynn on the head, carefully. It's like someone patting your head gently with a motorcycle. [1/16/2014 4:03:00 PM] Kali: Dragon: I do not!! [1/16/2014 4:03:11 PM] Wynn: Thank you. [1/16/2014 4:03:14 PM] Kali: Dragon: And I'm Cherys. Isla went home. [1/16/2014 4:03:25 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) blinks. "Oh... My mistake." [1/16/2014 4:03:40 PM] Kali: Tarak puts his sword away. "I remember you bein' smaller. And more, uh... bipedal." [1/16/2014 4:04:11 PM] Kalor: Then let's be properly introduced, I am Kalor of Delvingdeep, it is a pleasure to make your acquaintance again Cherys. [1/16/2014 4:04:12 PM] Kali: Dragon: I always let people go eventually! Sometimes after only a few months! [1/16/2014 4:04:19 PM] Wynn: ((Who would need a change of armor after being picked up by a dragon? Not this girl!)) [1/16/2014 4:04:32 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) frowns. "A few months is a long time for a human." [1/16/2014 4:04:59 PM] Kali: Dragon: Is it? Maybe I mean years, I always get those mixed up. You people and your funny  little language. [1/16/2014 4:05:14 PM] Kalor: ((Not Kalor either, he knows enough about dragons to see that as long as they're not ripping your head off, it's a better idea to talk.)) [1/16/2014 4:05:27 PM] Janis: I'm afraid we don't have years either. [1/16/2014 4:05:40 PM] Janis: We were kind of hoping to drop this stuff off on our ship. [1/16/2014 4:05:46 PM] Kali: Dragon: You *don't*? But you're not *all* beans. I smell elf on *somebody.* [1/16/2014 4:06:01 PM] Kali: Cherys leans over and sniff, sniff, sniffs at Lira, and then Jhett. [1/16/2014 4:06:06 PM] Janis: We have a couple elves in the party. [1/16/2014 4:06:07 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) continues calming the horse, her eyes narrowing a little. [1/16/2014 4:06:10 PM] Janis: Lira's an elf. [1/16/2014 4:06:13 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): ..! [1/16/2014 4:06:19 PM] Janis: So's Nilani. [1/16/2014 4:06:21 PM] Kali: The horse is in its happy place, having decided none of this is real. [1/16/2014 4:06:28 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): ((Oh good)) [1/16/2014 4:06:32 PM] Nilani: Nilani pulls her hood over her eyes [1/16/2014 4:06:40 PM] Janis: Janis gets off the horse. [1/16/2014 4:06:57 PM] Kali: Cherys: Elves live practically days! [1/16/2014 4:07:08 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) sighs. [1/16/2014 4:07:29 PM] Kalor: I believe you got that confused again, elves live practically millennia. [1/16/2014 4:07:29 PM] Jhett: I think you mean centuries? [1/16/2014 4:07:36 PM] Kali: Cherys, hopefully: Are you *suuuuure* you don't want to stay with me? I'll feed you lots of cows! You like cows, don't you? [1/16/2014 4:07:51 PM] Kali: Cherys: Tasty, fat cows, with crunchy nummy bones? [1/16/2014 4:07:52 PM] Wynn: I'm sorry, Cherys, but we really must get back. [1/16/2014 4:07:54 PM] Graaver: Graaver whispers. "I like cows" [1/16/2014 4:08:01 PM] Wynn: The ship gets angry if we stay away too long. [1/16/2014 4:08:03 PM | Edited 4:08:48 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Sorry... we couldn't stay even if we wanted. You see, we're cursed. [1/16/2014 4:08:22 PM] Janis: How about this? [1/16/2014 4:08:27 PM] Kali: Cherys: That's terrible! [1/16/2014 4:08:39 PM] Janis: Some of us can stay here and tell riddles with you. [1/16/2014 4:08:45 PM] Janis: The others can re-stock the ship. [1/16/2014 4:08:54 PM] Kali: Cherys: Reeeeeeeally? [1/16/2014 4:08:55 PM] Janis: And then, when they're done, they can come pick us up. [1/16/2014 4:09:02 PM] Jhett: I'm terrible with riddles. [1/16/2014 4:09:04 PM] Janis: That's a couple hours anyway. [1/16/2014 4:09:23 PM] Wynn: ....I'm not sure I like this plan. [1/16/2014 4:09:23 PM] Kalor: I am utterly terrible with riddles. [1/16/2014 4:09:32 PM] Nilani: Nilani forgot her slate [1/16/2014 4:09:39 PM] Wynn: I only know one. [1/16/2014 4:09:41 PM] Kali: Cherys: Oh good! It'll only take me a couple weeks to think of one, hold on. [1/16/2014 4:09:49 PM] Kali: She sits down; the earth shakes a little bit. [1/16/2014 4:09:56 PM] Janis: ..................this may have been a bad plan........ [1/16/2014 4:10:03 PM] Jhett: ... I hope she means moments. [1/16/2014 4:10:10 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) looks at Janis and then Jhett. [1/16/2014 4:10:19 PM] Janis: Lira, I bet you're good at riddles. [1/16/2014 4:10:31 PM] Kali: Cherys: No, I'm sure it means weeks! [1/16/2014 4:10:34 PM | Edited 4:10:46 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) blinks. (to Janis) "Why's that?" [1/16/2014 4:10:47 PM] Janis: ....well, you seem smart and stuff... [1/16/2014 4:10:58 PM] Kali: Tarak: ... Cherys, sweetheart. Darlin'. We can't stay weeks, we got to go back. Who's Mr. Deadie here? [1/16/2014 4:11:04 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): That's Kalor... I'm not as well-read as him. [1/16/2014 4:11:28 PM] Janis: Kalor just said he's bad at Riddles. [1/16/2014 4:11:41 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) nods. [1/16/2014 4:11:42 PM] Kali: Cherys: Oh, he's one of the bandits you mentioned yesterday! Don't you recognize him? [1/16/2014 4:11:57 PM] Jhett: Jhett eyes the body again. [1/16/2014 4:12:03 PM] Kali: Tarak: ... people look different without the head attached. [1/16/2014 4:12:06 PM] Janis: ................wait, what? [1/16/2014 4:12:15 PM] Janis: Oh, the headless guy. [1/16/2014 4:12:21 PM] Janis: I thought you meant Tarak. [1/16/2014 4:12:22 PM] Wynn: Tarak and Allys took down the leader of the bandits, but not all of them. [1/16/2014 4:12:40 PM] Kalor: Yes, I'm utterly terrible with riddles. Can't remember any for the life of me. [1/16/2014 4:13:00 PM] Kali: Cherys: So I dropped by and finished up. It's such a *dear* little town, and bandits are *very* untidy! [1/16/2014 4:13:11 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) frowns. "There's one I remember from before....but..." [1/16/2014 4:13:11 PM] Kalor: I do know plenty aboutt he migration patterns of the yellow tailed moray eel though. [1/16/2014 4:13:16 PM] Wynn: I'm sure the town will appreciate it. [1/16/2014 4:13:18 PM] Wynn: Wynn smiles. [1/16/2014 4:13:32 PM] Kali: Tarak: ... finished... up. How many were there? [1/16/2014 4:13:51 PM] Kalor: And did they all taste of garlic? [1/16/2014 4:14:01 PM] Kali: Cherys: Well I didn't *eat* them. [1/16/2014 4:14:22 PM] Kali: Cherys: I chewed a little, of course, but I wouldn't swallow a *person.* [1/16/2014 4:14:41 PM] Kali: Cherys: Besides, peeling them takes forever. [1/16/2014 4:14:57 PM] Kali: Even Tarak looks a little horrified. [1/16/2014 4:14:57 PM] Jhett: I can't imagine their clothes and armor taste very good. [1/16/2014 4:15:05 PM] Wynn: Wynn swallows. [1/16/2014 4:15:57 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): So... what *do* you like eating, then? [1/16/2014 4:15:57 PM] Kalor: This is why you should keep a rust monster handy. I do believe it would make peeling the tougher ones a snap. [1/16/2014 4:16:15 PM] Kali: Tarak: ... listen, Cherys, I don't suppose you could go on back there an' bury 'em? Humans do that with their dead, mostly. [1/16/2014 4:16:29 PM] Kali: Cherys: But then my *treasure* would get all rusty. [1/16/2014 4:16:43 PM] Kalor: Only anything that isn't gold. [1/16/2014 4:16:43 PM] Kali: Cherys: ... under the ground? What for? Do they sprout later? [1/16/2014 4:17:01 PM] Janis: Yeah, in the cabbage patch. [1/16/2014 4:17:02 PM] Wynn: We don't generally let our dead get eaten by scavengers. [1/16/2014 4:17:17 PM] Kali: Cherys: THEY TURN INTO CABBAGES??!!! [1/16/2014 4:17:26 PM] Kali: Probably every single person within a hundred miles heard that. [1/16/2014 4:17:28 PM] Jhett: Jhett rubs his eyes. [1/16/2014 4:17:37 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) cringes painfully from the noise. [1/16/2014 4:17:37 PM] Nilani: Nilani grins [1/16/2014 4:17:49 PM] Janis: Janis cringes, then scratches her chin [1/16/2014 4:17:58 PM] Kalor: Well, if you plant them together with cabbage seeds, then yes. I guess they do turn into cabbages. [1/16/2014 4:18:04 PM] Janis: I don't think so...I think babies just pop up like that. [1/16/2014 4:18:17 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): ((o boy... lol)) [1/16/2014 4:18:17 PM] Kali: Cherys: Oh. Wait, wait, THEY TURN INTO BABIES???!! [1/16/2014 4:18:18 PM] Wynn: Wynn clears her throat. [1/16/2014 4:18:29 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) continues cringing from the loud noise. [1/16/2014 4:18:31 PM] Janis: Janis shrugs [1/16/2014 4:18:32 PM] Wynn: I'm afraid Janis is a bit misinformed in her youth. [1/16/2014 4:18:38 PM] Janis: Janis shushes Wynn [1/16/2014 4:18:45 PM] Wynn: People do not grow once buried. We just do it to be respectful. [1/16/2014 4:18:54 PM] Janis: You shouldn't spoil it for her. [1/16/2014 4:19:00 PM] Wynn: For her? [1/16/2014 4:19:07 PM] Graaver: ((brb, dogs are having anxiety attacks)) [1/16/2014 4:19:09 PM] Kali: Cherys: Oh! Darnit. Well where do you get the babies, then? [1/16/2014 4:19:16 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Some elves plant acorns or other trees with their dead. [1/16/2014 4:19:16 PM] Wynn: Wynn looks at Janis, realizing she knew she was lying. [1/16/2014 4:19:33 PM] Janis: Janis smiles [1/16/2014 4:19:40 PM] Wynn: Tarak could probably tell you a lot about that, but I'm afraid we really must be going. [1/16/2014 4:19:55 PM] Kalor: And to grow coral. Calcium from their bones is an important part of our cities, so their bodies return to the... Um... Land, as their sould return to Aventernus. [1/16/2014 4:20:26 PM] Kali: Cherys: Well I want to know. Tell me. [1/16/2014 4:20:36 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Think of it as a riddle! [1/16/2014 4:20:49 PM] Kali: She moves her (gigantic, spiky) tail to block the road. [1/16/2014 4:21:10 PM] Janis: Pregnant women. [1/16/2014 4:21:12 PM] Kalor: Well, babies are basically like eggs. Where do dragon eggs come from? [1/16/2014 4:21:32 PM] Kali: Cherys: Mating! [1/16/2014 4:21:33 PM] Wynn: To be here is to be close to those dear, I see no light but feel warmth from within, [1/16/2014 4:21:41 PM] Kalor: And there you have it. [1/16/2014 4:21:45 PM] Wynn: It's lonely here but I'll soon be free. What am I? [1/16/2014 4:21:46 PM] Kali: Cherys: ... wait, wait, wait. BABIES ARE RAW EGGS!!! [1/16/2014 4:21:58 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) cringes more, covering her ears. [1/16/2014 4:22:00 PM] Jhett: Jhett sits down on a nearby log. [1/16/2014 4:22:06 PM] Kali: Cherys: ... how long do you cook them for? [1/16/2014 4:22:06 PM] Kalor: Well, actually more like the wyrmlings that come out of the eggs. [1/16/2014 4:22:14 PM] Wynn: Oh dear... [1/16/2014 4:22:41 PM] Janis: Janis scratches her head...really not understanding this conversation [1/16/2014 4:22:44 PM] Wynn: We don't... lay eggs. [1/16/2014 4:22:57 PM] Kali: Cherys, in a hushed, horrified voice: The eggs hatch *inside* you? But doesn't that *hurt*? [1/16/2014 4:23:14 PM] Kalor: Apparently. [1/16/2014 4:23:14 PM] Kali: Cherys: You've just got little eggy-shardy bits *inside*? [1/16/2014 4:23:24 PM] Wynn: No, there is no eggshell. [1/16/2014 4:23:39 PM] Wynn: ((Are we really telling a dragon about the facts of life? lol)) [1/16/2014 4:23:39 PM] Janis: ...wait, there are eggs involved? [1/16/2014 4:23:43 PM] Kali: Cherys: ... but... but... [1/16/2014 4:23:53 PM] Janis: I thought Bobby made that part up. [1/16/2014 4:24:02 PM] Kali: Cherys: Wyrmlings without shells come out *bad.* [1/16/2014 4:24:10 PM] Kali: Cherys: Are humans all... bad? [1/16/2014 4:24:11 PM] Wynn: Think of the mother as the shell. [1/16/2014 4:24:20 PM] Kali: Cherys: THEY BREAK OPEN THEIR MOTHERS?!??!! [1/16/2014 4:24:27 PM] Janis: EW! [1/16/2014 4:24:28 PM] Wynn: Not... if things go well. [1/16/2014 4:24:34 PM] Kali: Cherys: EW! [1/16/2014 4:24:45 PM] Graaver: Graaver sits on a rock admiring this spectacle. [1/16/2014 4:24:55 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) is still covering her ears, her eyes going from Dragon-Janis-horse, Dragon-Janis-horse. [1/16/2014 4:24:57 PM] Kali: Tarak facepalms. [1/16/2014 4:25:19 PM] Wynn: My mother had a few babies. I helped when the twins were born. [1/16/2014 4:25:33 PM] Nilani: Nilani smiles slightly at the surreality of this situation. [1/16/2014 4:26:00 PM] Kali: Cherys: But if they break you open and crack your shell to bits... how many babies are in a batch? [1/16/2014 4:26:09 PM] Wynn: Usually there is only one. [1/16/2014 4:26:22 PM] Janis: And how do the mothers get put back together? [1/16/2014 4:26:23 PM] Kali: Cherys: But then how does the mother regenerate after being *burst*? [1/16/2014 4:26:31 PM] Wynn: They don't break. [1/16/2014 4:26:38 PM] Wynn: Only when things go poorly. [1/16/2014 4:26:39 PM] Kali: Cherys and Janis are on the same page here. [1/16/2014 4:26:41 PM] Kalor: ((Actually they sort of do)) [1/16/2014 4:26:48 PM] Kalor: ((=p)) [1/16/2014 4:26:49 PM] Kali: Cherys: But you said they were like eggs. [1/16/2014 4:26:51 PM] Wynn: ((I did... lol)) [1/16/2014 4:27:03 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) looks at Kalor, making gestures and then covering her ears again. [1/16/2014 4:27:03 PM] Janis: Then how do the babies get out normally? [1/16/2014 4:27:06 PM] Wynn: Only in that dragons are born of eggs and people of mothers. [1/16/2014 4:27:27 PM] Kali: Cherys: But dragons have mothers too! [1/16/2014 4:27:38 PM] Wynn: They lay eggs, though, right? [1/16/2014 4:27:47 PM] Kali: Cherys: Yeah! [1/16/2014 4:27:59 PM] Janis: ...wait, people poop babies? [1/16/2014 4:28:06 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): :D [1/16/2014 4:28:07 PM] Wynn: ....... [1/16/2014 4:28:10 PM] Kali: Cherys: EW! [1/16/2014 4:28:15 PM] Kalor: Yes, but dragons lay eggs outside the body, where they need a shell to keep them safe. Humans nurture their young inside the body for the entire duration. [1/16/2014 4:28:42 PM] Kali: Cherys: But if they stay inside, how do they breathe in there? [1/16/2014 4:28:48 PM] Janis: Janis is making a horrified face. [1/16/2014 4:29:01 PM] Wynn: They get everything they need from the mother. [1/16/2014 4:29:03 PM] Kali: Cherys is too. It looks a lot like Janis's, despite being much more lizardy. [1/16/2014 4:29:04 PM] Kalor: They are connected to the mother, and she breathes for both of them. [1/16/2014 4:29:38 PM] Kali: Cherys: ... what do you *have* in there? Are there toys and things? [1/16/2014 4:29:51 PM] Wynn: Wynn chuckles. "The babies mostly just sleep." [1/16/2014 4:29:52 PM] Kali: Cherys pokes very gently at Wynn's belly. [1/16/2014 4:30:07 PM] Wynn: Wynn clears her throat. "I don't have one in there." [1/16/2014 4:30:11 PM] Kali: Cherys: How do you know? [1/16/2014 4:30:16 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) pales. [1/16/2014 4:30:18 PM] Wynn: .............. [1/16/2014 4:30:22 PM] Wynn: :D [1/16/2014 4:30:33 PM] Kalor: Kalor looks at Tarak [1/16/2014 4:30:38 PM] Janis: Well, Doctors put them in. [1/16/2014 4:30:38 PM] Kali: Tarak: ... what? [1/16/2014 4:30:43 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): ((LOL!)) [1/16/2014 4:30:48 PM] Jhett: Jhett looks at Nilani. "This is all happening, right?" He asks quietly. "I'm not just... having a stroke or something." [1/16/2014 4:30:56 PM] Wynn: :D [1/16/2014 4:31:05 PM] Janis: That's why, when women get pregnant, first they visit the doctor. [1/16/2014 4:31:09 PM] Kali: Cherys: ... wait, wait, *doctors* put them in there? [1/16/2014 4:31:11 PM] Wynn: There's certain... things you have to do... to grow a baby. [1/16/2014 4:31:13 PM] Kalor: I have learned that it is better to just accept things as the come along. [1/16/2014 4:31:17 PM] Kali: Cherys: Things like what? [1/16/2014 4:31:28 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) facepalms. [1/16/2014 4:31:29 PM] Wynn: Wynn blushes. [1/16/2014 4:31:37 PM] Kalor: Mating [1/16/2014 4:31:43 PM] Janis: ...what's mating? [1/16/2014 4:31:45 PM] Nilani: Nilani shrugs and looks amazingly uncomfortable. [1/16/2014 4:31:48 PM | Edited 4:32:04 PM] Wynn: Wynn claps her hands together. "Yes. Thank you, Kalor." [1/16/2014 4:31:56 PM] Kali: Cherys: Oh, you have to visit the doctor and mate with him so he'll give you a baby? [1/16/2014 4:32:06 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): ((Lmao)) [1/16/2014 4:32:09 PM] Wynn: Sure. [1/16/2014 4:32:15 PM] Janis: ((Clearly Janis didn't know as much as she thought)) [1/16/2014 4:32:25 PM] Kali: Cherys looks impressed. "Doctors must be really important to humans!" [1/16/2014 4:32:37 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) nods in agreement with this. [1/16/2014 4:32:43 PM] Kalor: Definitely [1/16/2014 4:32:57 PM] Janis: ................... [1/16/2014 4:33:01 PM] Janis: Janis looks confused. [1/16/2014 4:33:10 PM] Kali: Cherys: Well, I want a baby, are any of you doctors? [1/16/2014 4:33:15 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): ((OMG)) [1/16/2014 4:33:22 PM] Kalor: No, I'm a wizard. [1/16/2014 4:33:27 PM] Wynn: You might do better to find a dragon doctor. [1/16/2014 4:33:32 PM] Janis: Don't you need to find a dragon doctor? [1/16/2014 4:33:33 PM] Kali: Tarak, who was taking a swig from his flask, does a fairly impressive spittake and starts coughing. [1/16/2014 4:33:39 PM] Wynn: ((haha)) [1/16/2014 4:33:54 PM] Janis: ((Wait, does Cherys not know where Dragon babies come from?)) [1/16/2014 4:34:01 PM] Kalor: Kalor looks at Tarak again, then at the dragon, then gets a funny look on his face. [1/16/2014 4:34:05 PM] Kali: Cherys: No! I want a *baby*, not an *egg.* [1/16/2014 4:34:09 PM] Wynn: Oh! [1/16/2014 4:34:17 PM] Nilani: http://i.imgur.com/ouEgEHz.png?2 [1/16/2014 4:34:21 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) blinks. "Unfortunately, you would be asking for a mother to give up her young." [1/16/2014 4:34:22 PM] Wynn: Well, I'm sorry, Cherys, but only people can have babies. [1/16/2014 4:34:35 PM] Wynn: Just as we cannot have eggs. [1/16/2014 4:34:37 PM] Kali: Cherys: But I can be a person! You saw me! [1/16/2014 4:34:47 PM] Kali: Cherys: I just have to find the others again. [1/16/2014 4:34:53 PM] Wynn: But you're still really a dragon... and shifting would not be good for the young. [1/16/2014 4:34:59 PM] Janis: I think a father needs to be involved too. [1/16/2014 4:35:00 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): You just looked like a person. It doesn't make you a person. [1/16/2014 4:35:04 PM] Kalor: Why not? [1/16/2014 4:35:07 PM] Janis: ...sometimes... [1/16/2014 4:35:27 PM] Kalor: Clearly you do not remember the basics of applied Draconic arcana. [1/16/2014 4:35:35 PM] Wynn: You would have to be a human for several months. [1/16/2014 4:35:45 PM] Kalor: She looks like a person, it makes her a person all right... [1/16/2014 4:35:51 PM] Janis: And you need a Doctor. [1/16/2014 4:35:56 PM] Janis: And maybe a father... [1/16/2014 4:35:56 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) looks at Kalor. [1/16/2014 4:36:25 PM] Wynn: ((Dragonborn have to come from somewhere, right?)) [1/16/2014 4:36:26 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Surely, the baby would still be half-dragon? [1/16/2014 4:36:30 PM] Kalor: Transmutation field, remember? [1/16/2014 4:36:42 PM] Kalor: And yes, yes it would. [1/16/2014 4:36:42 PM] Kali: Tarak finally manages to stop coughing, although his eyes are watering from whatever it was he accidentally inhaled. [1/16/2014 4:36:52 PM] Graaver: ((dragon born are adults called by bahamut! I knew that one)) [1/16/2014 4:36:59 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): So she still would be a dragon. [1/16/2014 4:37:01 PM] Kali: Cherys: Wait, so I can or I can't? [1/16/2014 4:37:08 PM] Kalor: ((It would be a half dragon)) [1/16/2014 4:37:11 PM] Janis: Why do you want a baby? [1/16/2014 4:37:26 PM] Wynn: Perhaps you could ask Avramore. He seemed like he should know things like that. [1/16/2014 4:37:30 PM] Kali: Cherys: They're cute! I like pets. [1/16/2014 4:37:43 PM] Wynn: Babies aren't pets, Cherys. [1/16/2014 4:37:45 PM] Janis: I don't think you can treat a baby like a pet. [1/16/2014 4:37:51 PM] Wynn: They require a lot of care. [1/16/2014 4:37:55 PM] Kali: Cherys: Humans are sweet, too! You can learn lots of things! [1/16/2014 4:38:08 PM] Kalor: And juicy. [1/16/2014 4:38:09 PM] Kali: Cherys: And do tricks, like writing and talking! [1/16/2014 4:38:14 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) frowns at Kalor. [1/16/2014 4:38:33 PM] Kali: Cherys: Much smarter than parrots. Oh, I'd never eat a *human*. [1/16/2014 4:38:49 PM] Nilani: ((I swear, if Kalor's a cannibal...)) [1/16/2014 4:38:57 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): ((haha)) [1/16/2014 4:38:58 PM] Wynn: ((I'd smite him.)) [1/16/2014 4:39:21 PM] Kalor: ((Nah, he's just read a lot about dragons and is being silly)) [1/16/2014 4:39:41 PM] Janis: ...well, good luck with pooping a baby. [1/16/2014 4:39:49 PM] Janis: We're not Doctor's so we can't help. [1/16/2014 4:39:55 PM] Wynn: Cherys, could I suggest just having human *friends* that visit you willingly? [1/16/2014 4:40:04 PM] Wynn: Rather than taking them to your cave by force? [1/16/2014 4:40:24 PM] Wynn: Friends are better than pets. [1/16/2014 4:40:27 PM] Kali: Cherys frowns. It's... pretty scary looking. [1/16/2014 4:40:27 PM] Kalor: Quite a lot of humans look up to dragons from what I know. [1/16/2014 4:40:50 PM] Kali: Then her eyes fill with big tears. "But they always die. And then that makes me sad." [1/16/2014 4:40:54 PM | Edited 4:41:24 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) nods. "Dragonwyck is sure to have thankful people once they find out about the bandits." [1/16/2014 4:41:07 PM] Wynn: Wynn nods. "That is a terrible pain to bear." [1/16/2014 4:42:03 PM] Wynn: Perhaps elven friends would be better. They at least live longer than humans. [1/16/2014 4:42:17 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) facepalms. [1/16/2014 4:42:27 PM] Janis: Just be careful. Some elves can be mean. [1/16/2014 4:42:50 PM] Kali: Cherys: Aren't some of *you* elves? [1/16/2014 4:42:56 PM] Janis: I said some. [1/16/2014 4:42:59 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Yes, but we're cursed... [1/16/2014 4:43:01 PM] Kalor: Yes, you could head over to the village and tell them about how you took out the bandits. If you stay around and protect them from any other bad men or monsters they would probably want to be your friends forever. And their children as well. [1/16/2014 4:43:04 PM] Wynn: I promise you, though Cherys... You'll be happier with willing friends than you would with captives or pets. [1/16/2014 4:43:27 PM] Kali: Cherys: But can't you be my friends? Curses suck! [1/16/2014 4:43:34 PM] Kalor: And their children's children, and so on. [1/16/2014 4:43:35 PM] Jhett: No arguments there. [1/16/2014 4:43:39 PM] Wynn: We can be your friends, but we cannot stay. [1/16/2014 4:43:43 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) nods. [1/16/2014 4:43:46 PM] Wynn: We would disappear suddenly one day. [1/16/2014 4:43:51 PM] Janis: Once our ship takes off, we'll be going with it. [1/16/2014 4:44:11 PM] Kali: Cherys: Awww. [1/16/2014 4:44:28 PM] Kalor: Also, the curse is supposed to kill us within a few years if we don't find a way to get rid of it. [1/16/2014 4:44:45 PM] Wynn: ((Does it? Thought they all just "happened" to die)) [1/16/2014 4:44:57 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): ((I think he assumed it's because of the curse?)) [1/16/2014 4:45:17 PM] Wynn: ((Guess it could be IC. Just wondering if it really does)) [1/16/2014 4:45:20 PM] Kali: Cherys: Oh, that's awful! Oh that's so sad! [1/16/2014 4:45:44 PM] Wynn: That's why we need to get back to the ship in such a hurry. We need to try to break the curse. [1/16/2014 4:46:21 PM] Kali: Cherys: Ohhhhhh, all right! Buuuut we're still friends, right? [1/16/2014 4:46:26 PM] Janis: Yep. [1/16/2014 4:46:27 PM] Jhett: of course. [1/16/2014 4:46:28 PM] Wynn: Of course. [1/16/2014 4:46:32 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) smiles. [1/16/2014 4:46:38 PM] Nilani: Nilani nods [1/16/2014 4:46:43 PM] Kalor: I'd be honored to call one of the kin my friend. [1/16/2014 4:46:45 PM] Kali: Cherys: YAY!!! [1/16/2014 4:47:10 PM] Kalor: ((Oops, wrong continuity)) [1/16/2014 4:47:13 PM] Kali: She pats each person on the head with one enormous claw; again, it's like being patted with a motorcycle or something of equal size. [1/16/2014 4:47:37 PM] Janis: ...you still want to try some riddles? [1/16/2014 4:47:46 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) looks at Janis with alarm. [1/16/2014 4:48:03 PM] Janis: I just figure we could wait here for a couple minutes. [1/16/2014 4:48:06 PM] Janis: Like two riddles. [1/16/2014 4:48:22 PM] Kalor: Yes... A couple of weeks [1/16/2014 4:48:25 PM] Kali: Cherys: No! You gotta go break your curse right now!! [1/16/2014 4:48:32 PM] Janis: .....ok [1/16/2014 4:48:45 PM] Wynn: Keep the town safe, ok? [1/16/2014 4:49:02 PM] Kali: Cherys: Yeah! But I can give you a present right? Even if you're not pets? [1/16/2014 4:49:10 PM] Janis: Sure. [1/16/2014 4:49:24 PM] Kalor: I'm pretty sure they have a doctor in the village as well. [1/16/2014 4:49:39 PM] Kali: Cherys wriggles happily. "Oooh, a *doctor*!!" [1/16/2014 4:49:42 PM] Jhett: That's very kind, but you don't have to give us anything. [1/16/2014 4:49:49 PM] Kali: ((Oh god, that's evil. And hilarious.)) [1/16/2014 4:49:55 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) laughs softly. [1/16/2014 4:49:58 PM] Kali: Cherys: But I like presents! [1/16/2014 4:51:53 PM] Kali: She reaches into the folds between her scales and brings out something that looks like a crown--it's dark blue and each point has a little star made of diamonds, with one very large star in the center. She holds it with her pinky-claw (the others are too big) and lays it down in front of Wynn. [1/16/2014 4:51:54 PM] Nilani: ((WHERE IS YOUR DOCTOR?! I REQUIRE ONE BABY.)) [1/16/2014 4:52:11 PM] Wynn: Thank you, Cherys. [1/16/2014 4:52:25 PM] Wynn: We... don't really have anything to give you in return. [1/16/2014 4:52:40 PM] Kali: Cherys: That's okay! I'm gonna get a BABY. [1/16/2014 4:52:41 PM] Jhett: Jhett pats down his coat and pulls out a stick that has been whittled down to scepter size. [1/16/2014 4:52:43 PM] Kalor: Thank you Cherys. [1/16/2014 4:52:43 PM] Kali: Cherys: Byyyye!!! [1/16/2014 4:52:46 PM] Jhett: Here, take this. [1/16/2014 4:52:51 PM] Jhett: I made it. From a larger stick. [1/16/2014 4:52:52 PM] Wynn: Wynn picks up the crown. [1/16/2014 4:52:53 PM] Kali: Cherys: Ooh! [1/16/2014 4:53:08 PM] Kali: Cherys takes it, very carefully, between her claws. [1/16/2014 4:53:17 PM] Jhett: It's not much. But we don't have much to give you in return. [1/16/2014 4:53:29 PM] Kali: Cherys: That's okay! I love you!! Byyyyye! [1/16/2014 4:53:36 PM] Wynn: Goodbye, Cherys. [1/16/2014 4:53:40 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Bye Cherys! [1/16/2014 4:53:42 PM] Kalor: Bye Cherys. [1/16/2014 4:53:43 PM] Janis: Janis waves "BYEE! [1/16/2014 4:53:45 PM] Kali: She jumps up and flies away; the blast of wind from her wings is pretty harsh, so reflex save to keep your feet. [1/16/2014 4:53:47 PM] Nilani: Nilani waves [1/16/2014 4:54:02 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): ((14)) [1/16/2014 4:54:05 PM] Wynn: ((snort... 5)) [1/16/2014 4:54:05 PM] Janis: ((13)) [1/16/2014 4:54:10 PM] Graaver: ((20)) [1/16/2014 4:54:14 PM] Nilani: ((17)) [1/16/2014 4:54:26 PM] Kalor: ((4)) [1/16/2014 4:54:33 PM] Kalor: ((Natural 1)) [1/16/2014 4:54:36 PM] Wynn: ((Strength check! lol)) [1/16/2014 4:54:46 PM] Kali: Only Graaver and Tarak manage to keep their feet. [1/16/2014 4:54:51 PM] Wynn: ((would have been the same roll. :) [1/16/2014 4:55:06 PM] Graaver: Graaver immediately starts helping people up. [1/16/2014 4:55:08 PM] Wynn: Wynn gets to her feet.

I either need to drink a lot more or a whole goddamn lot less. [1/16/2014 4:55:34 PM] Janis: ....I'm still confused... [1/16/2014 4:55:38 PM] Janis: What's mating? [1/16/2014 4:55:47 PM] Wynn: Maybe later, Janis. [1/16/2014 4:55:52 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Well you see, when a man and a woman love each other very, very much.... [1/16/2014 4:55:55 PM] Kali: Tarak: ... somebody's gotta tell her some time. [1/16/2014 4:55:57 PM] Kalor: That is something a certain doctor I've never met is going to find out... [1/16/2014 4:56:03 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): ((XD)) [1/16/2014 4:56:18 PM] Jhett: Jhett eyes Kalor. "Yeah, that might have been rather cruel." [1/16/2014 4:56:30 PM] Kalor: Kalor blinks [1/16/2014 4:56:38 PM] Janis: ((It would be great if we come back here one day and find that the doctor has a very scaly child)) [1/16/2014 4:56:50 PM] Wynn: We should get going. [1/16/2014 4:56:57 PM] Nilani: Nilani nods [1/16/2014 4:56:59 PM] Kalor: Did you see her when we were back in the corridor? The guy's probably going to thank me. [1/16/2014 4:57:03 PM] Kali: (("Just what I always wanted. My own little doctor. I will name him George, and I will hug him and pet him and squeeze him..." )) [1/16/2014 4:57:03 PM] Janis: ...why is it cruel? Isn't that what doctors do? [1/16/2014 4:57:14 PM] Jhett: No. [1/16/2014 4:57:25 PM] Janis: ...now I'm really confused... [1/16/2014 4:57:26 PM] Kali: Tarak: I can tell her if you want.

[1/16/2014 4:57:44 PM] Jhett: Jhett dusts himself off. [1/16/2014 4:57:46 PM] Wynn: ... I don't think so, Tarak. [1/16/2014 4:58:08 PM] Kali: Tarak shrugs. "Somebody's gotta. She's at that age." [1/16/2014 4:58:12 PM] Janis: Janis looks expectantly at the party, waiting for an answer.

[1/16/2014 4:59:28 PM] Jhett: At least the path back will be safer. [1/16/2014 4:59:32 PM] Janis: ...anyone wanna hear my riddle? [1/16/2014 4:59:37 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Sure, Janis. [1/16/2014 4:59:38 PM] Wynn: Sure. [1/16/2014 4:59:46 PM] Nilani: Nilani nods [1/16/2014 4:59:49 PM] Janis: "What's green, hangs on a wall, and whistles?" [1/16/2014 4:59:59 PM] Kalor: Kestrel? [1/16/2014 5:00:08 PM] Janis: No [1/16/2014 5:00:12 PM] Wynn: Wynn frowns at Kalor. "What?" [1/16/2014 5:00:21 PM] Kalor: No that wouldn't be right, she prefers beams right? [1/16/2014 5:00:31 PM] Wynn: She's not green, either. [1/16/2014 5:00:32 PM] Kali: Tarak: Why the hell would she be green? [1/16/2014 5:00:42 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) smiles at Kalor. [1/16/2014 5:00:49 PM] Kalor: Kalor holds up a finger [1/16/2014 5:00:57 PM] Wynn: Wynn sighs. "I don't know, Janis." [1/16/2014 5:01:02 PM] Kalor: Same reason your ass is pink =p [1/16/2014 5:01:20 PM] Janis: Give up? [1/16/2014 5:01:31 PM] Kalor: Kalor snaps his fingers and returns Tarak's armor to normal colors [1/16/2014 5:01:32 PM] Kali: Tarak: Too much fun? [1/16/2014 5:01:43 PM] Nilani: ~a lizard with a whistle? [1/16/2014 5:01:50 PM] Kali: It was normally colored before--presti only works for an hour. [1/16/2014 5:01:57 PM] Janis: Nilani's close, but no. [1/16/2014 5:01:58 PM] Kalor: ((Nope)) [1/16/2014 5:02:11 PM] Graaver: Graaver suddenly stops. "NILANI IS TALKING" [1/16/2014 5:02:17 PM] Kali: ((Any actual change to an object (beyond just moving, cleaning, or soiling it) persists only 1 hour. )) [1/16/2014 5:02:22 PM] Janis: ((She wrote it down)) [1/16/2014 5:02:25 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) looks at Graaver funny. [1/16/2014 5:03:40 PM] Janis: ...do you want me to give you the answer? [1/16/2014 5:03:46 PM] Janis: Janis smiles smugly [1/16/2014 5:03:46 PM] Jhett: I give up, Janis. [1/16/2014 5:03:51 PM] Janis: It's a herring [1/16/2014 5:03:56 PM] Wynn: A herring? [1/16/2014 5:04:35 PM] Wynn: Wynn shakes her head. "I still don't get it." [1/16/2014 5:04:39 PM] Kali: Tarak: Herrings don't whistle. [1/16/2014 5:04:43 PM] Kalor: ((I thought the other effects to objects persisted as well, oh well. I'll just dirty it next time instead. Or clean it, whichever one changes it the most... =p)) [1/16/2014 5:05:01 PM] Janis: Well, you can paint it green, nail it to a wall, and the whistling's just there to keep it from being too easy. [1/16/2014 5:05:12 PM] Janis: ((Clearly no one here is a Gaiman fan :D )) [1/16/2014 5:05:23 PM] Jhett: ((I am, but I don't get it.)) [1/16/2014 5:05:30 PM] Kali: ((I like him as a person, he's very nice.)) [1/16/2014 5:05:44 PM] Wynn: What time is it when a dragon sits on your fence? [1/16/2014 5:06:17 PM] Kali: Tarak: Time for babies, apparently... [1/16/2014 5:06:25 PM] Graaver: Sounds like it's time to build a new fence [1/16/2014 5:06:31 PM | Edited 5:06:44 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) shakes her head in amusement, still leading the horse silently.

"Oh" [1/16/2014 5:06:53 PM] Janis: ((http://www.allsubs.org/search-movie-quotes/mirrormask/)) [1/16/2014 5:07:04 PM] Kalor: ((Well I could pull another Gaiman riddle. But Kalor is already too creepy... =p)) [1/16/2014 5:07:15 PM] Janis: ((Which one?)) [1/16/2014 5:07:24 PM] Kali: Tarak: Wonder what she'd look like in lingerie... [1/16/2014 5:07:34 PM] Jhett: Jhett trudges back toward the ship. [1/16/2014 5:07:35 PM] Janis: ...lingerie? [1/16/2014 5:07:40 PM] Kalor: ((The joke from the collector's convention. =p)) [1/16/2014 5:07:44 PM] Wynn: Wynn sighs. "Get over it, Tarak. She didn't like "clanky"." [1/16/2014 5:08:08 PM] Kali: Tarak: The clank comes off. [1/16/2014 5:08:18 PM] Janis: Isn't lingerie just fancy panties? [1/16/2014 5:08:25 PM] Kali: Tarak: Pretty much. [1/16/2014 5:08:25 PM] Kalor: Pretty much [1/16/2014 5:08:27 PM] Janis: Who cares what underwear she puts on? [1/16/2014 5:08:44 PM] Kali: Tarak: Well, just imagine a dragon wearin' underpants. It's funny. [1/16/2014 5:08:56 PM] Wynn: Wynn grins slightly. [1/16/2014 5:08:59 PM] Janis: ((Janis is learning much today...and not understanding any of it)) [1/16/2014 5:09:02 PM] Kali: You reach the ship, at last! [1/16/2014 5:09:07 PM] Kali: It is shipshaped. [1/16/2014 5:09:10 PM] Wynn: Thank the gods. [1/16/2014 5:09:14 PM] Jhett: Jhett heads inside. [1/16/2014 5:09:17 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): I'll dismiss the horse here. [1/16/2014 5:09:23 PM] Wynn: Wynn hauls the two sacks up to the ship. [1/16/2014 5:09:31 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) dismisses the Mount spell. [1/16/2014 5:09:40 PM] Graaver: Graaver helps move the sacks. [1/16/2014 5:09:53 PM] Janis: ...hey, Graaver, how'd you know we were in town, anyway? [1/16/2014 5:09:54 PM] Wynn: Wynn takes them to the galley. [1/16/2014 5:09:55 PM] Kali: Tarak eyes Wynn. "You sure you wanna do it?" [1/16/2014 5:10:00 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): ((Gotta poof, Lira will go to her room to unpack and stay there for awhile)) [1/16/2014 5:10:02 PM] Wynn: What's that? [1/16/2014 5:10:07 PM] Nilani: Nilani climbs aboard [1/16/2014 5:10:11 PM] Janis: Janis helps take stuff in [1/16/2014 5:10:17 PM] Kali: Tarak: Tell Janis. [1/16/2014 5:10:20 PM] Graaver: Graaver Kestrel told me [1/16/2014 5:10:28 PM] Kali: Tarak: You seem, uh... *inexperienced.* [1/16/2014 5:10:32 PM] Wynn: ... I don't think you're really the appropriate person to do so. [1/16/2014 5:10:36 PM] Janis: ...Kes spoke to you? [1/16/2014 5:10:48 PM] Wynn: Wynn flushes. "I know enough." [1/16/2014 5:10:54 PM] Graaver: Yes [1/16/2014 5:11:00 PM] Janis: Janis sulks [1/16/2014 5:11:08 PM] Janis: She hasn't been talking to most of us. [1/16/2014 5:11:14 PM] Graaver: Why not?

[1/16/2014 5:11:47 PM] Janis: I think Kes got scared. [1/16/2014 5:12:15 PM] Wynn: Wynn separates the goods in the galley, putting the clothes back in a sack. [1/16/2014 5:12:17 PM] Janis: ((Are Graaver and I in the room with Tarak and Wynn?)) [1/16/2014 5:12:38 PM] Kali: Tarak is in the hallway. [1/16/2014 5:12:43 PM] Kali: And heading to the individual rooms. [1/16/2014 5:12:46 PM] Jhett: Jhett heads to his room to put his stuff away.

Knockknockknock. [1/16/2014 5:13:30 PM] Wynn: Wynn is putting away the kitchen supplies. [1/16/2014 5:13:34 PM] Jhett: Jhett is going to his own room. Whose door is he knocking on?

[1/16/2014 5:16:19 PM] Janis: ((Or say we'll talk about it later and we can pretend it happened off-screen some other time)) [1/16/2014 5:16:23 PM] Kali: Like "tells Janis everything, but not about x, y, and z." [1/16/2014 5:16:34 PM] Kali: Or "tells Janis about storks." [1/16/2014 5:16:39 PM] Wynn: ((snicker)) [1/16/2014 5:16:59 PM] Janis: ((If Janis knows the cabbage patch is fake, she is probably not buying storks anymore either)) [1/16/2014 5:17:06 PM] Wynn: Well... I'm just surprised your mother told you about the... bleeding... and not the other parts. [1/16/2014 5:17:16 PM] Janis: She just said it was important. [1/16/2014 5:17:38 PM] Janis: She said it's a thing that happens and we'd have to deal with it some day. [1/16/2014 5:17:54 PM] Janis: But she told me that women get pregnant from doctors. [1/16/2014 5:18:05 PM] Wynn: Well, no. [1/16/2014 5:18:20 PM] Wynn: Doctors can tell if you *are* pregnant, but fathers get you there. [1/16/2014 5:18:27 PM] Janis: ...oh... [1/16/2014 5:18:30 PM] Kali: I don't know where Graaver, Nilani and Kalor went. [1/16/2014 5:18:50 PM] Janis: ((please tell me they're not in the galley)) [1/16/2014 5:18:51 PM | Edited 5:19:06 PM] Graaver: ((Oh, I would've probably gone to my room after helping unload)) [1/16/2014 5:19:46 PM] Nilani: ((I went to the galley, caught a snippet of the conversation as I opened the door, and noped on over to the library.)) [1/16/2014 5:19:52 PM] Wynn: :D [1/16/2014 5:19:59 PM] Janis: :D [1/16/2014 5:20:10 PM] Janis: ...what about kids without fathers? [1/16/2014 5:20:20 PM] Kalor: ((I went to the library)) [1/16/2014 5:20:24 PM] Wynn: Well, all kids have a father, even if they don't stay. [1/16/2014 5:20:33 PM] Janis: ...........oh... [1/16/2014 5:21:04 PM] Janis: ............ok....when I get home, I'll have to ask my mom about that. [1/16/2014 5:21:22 PM] Wynn: ... did you want to talk about it? Your dad, I mean.

[1/16/2014 5:23:16 PM] Wynn: Wynn chuckles. "I can't be your dad." [1/16/2014 5:23:25 PM] Janis: I didn't think so. [1/16/2014 5:23:28 PM] Wynn: I'll settle for being your friend. [1/16/2014 5:23:32 PM] Janis: Janis smiles [1/16/2014 5:23:33 PM] Janis: Ok. [1/16/2014 5:23:44 PM] Janis: .........hey, Wynn.... [1/16/2014 5:23:51 PM] Wynn: Hmm? [1/16/2014 5:23:54 PM] Janis: Earlier, I was gonna say something about...The Tainted. [1/16/2014 5:24:04 PM] Janis: Then Jhett walked in. [1/16/2014 5:24:25 PM] Janis: ....I was just gonna say...I may have left out something about him. [1/16/2014 5:24:30 PM] Janis: He's not really a thief. [1/16/2014 5:24:45 PM] Janis: Well, he probably is, but that's not why I'm chasing him. [1/16/2014 5:25:05 PM] Wynn: Wynn looks at Janis with compassion. "He hurt you." [1/16/2014 5:25:19 PM] Janis: ........he's why I don't have a father.... [1/16/2014 5:25:45 PM] Janis: And he's a monster. [1/16/2014 5:26:09 PM] Wynn: He... killed your father? [1/16/2014 5:26:16 PM] Janis: .......................... [1/16/2014 5:26:32 PM] Janis: He killed a lot of people. [1/16/2014 5:27:06 PM] Janis: I don't really know the details, but I'm told he was doing these experiment things. [1/16/2014 5:27:18 PM] Janis: And most of the time...they didn't end well. [1/16/2014 5:27:33 PM] Wynn: Wynn frowns. [1/16/2014 5:28:01 PM] Janis: ........one of the others might be from Solitude, they might know better than me. [1/16/2014 5:28:55 PM] Janis: Janis pulls out the bone and wraps it in the bag, tight [1/16/2014 5:29:01 PM] Janis: I'm gonna go give this to Flamey. [1/16/2014 5:29:08 PM] Wynn: Wynn smiles. "Ok." [1/16/2014 5:29:14 PM] Janis: Janis walks away [1/16/2014 5:29:33 PM] Janis: ((do I need to roll to tie it tightly in the bag?)) [1/16/2014 5:29:39 PM] Kali: Tarak steps in! [1/16/2014 5:29:41 PM] Kali: Nope. [1/16/2014 5:29:46 PM] Janis: ...Tarak? [1/16/2014 5:29:48 PM] Kali: You can take 10 or 20. [1/16/2014 5:29:54 PM] Janis: ((I do so)) [1/16/2014 5:29:55 PM] Wynn: Wynn grabs the sack of clothes and pulls some out for Tarak and Allys. [1/16/2014 5:29:57 PM] Kali: Into the kitchen, specifically. [1/16/2014 5:30:00 PM] Kali: Tarak: Yeah? [1/16/2014 5:30:02 PM] Janis: Janis hides the bone behind her back [1/16/2014 5:30:05 PM] Janis: ...hi [1/16/2014 5:30:06 PM] Janis: ...bye [1/16/2014 5:30:14 PM] Janis: Janis exits, keeping the bone hidden [1/16/2014 5:30:31 PM] Wynn: Got some clothes for you here. [1/16/2014 5:30:38 PM] Kali: He waves, eyeing Janis skeptically. [1/16/2014 5:30:38 PM] Wynn: And some for Allys. [1/16/2014 5:30:56 PM] Janis: ((Do I need a separate chat to see Flamey?)) [1/16/2014 5:30:59 PM] Kali: Tarak: We got to bring our stuff, but thanks for the thought. [1/16/2014 5:31:10 PM] Wynn: Wynn shrugs and puts the clothes back in the sack. [1/16/2014 5:31:22 PM] Kali: No, that can probably be summarized by "Flamey is gaining back her weight and looking healthy and happy, and seems affectionate." [1/16/2014 5:31:31 PM] Janis: ((Actually, I need a break to eat, can we just say I'm with Flamey until I get back?)) [1/16/2014 5:31:32 PM] Kali: Tarak: She's pissed at me. [1/16/2014 5:31:35 PM] Kali: ((Sure!)) [1/16/2014 5:31:38 PM] Janis: ((brb)) [1/16/2014 5:31:39 PM] Wynn: Allys? [1/16/2014 5:31:56 PM] Kali: ((The session's basically over, it's just squishy stuff from here on out, unless of course the librarymonster kills the other group.)) [1/16/2014 5:31:58 PM] Wynn: The comment about her apprentice? [1/16/2014 5:32:46 PM] Kali: Tarak: Yeah. Used to be she'd just punch me a couple of times and then we'd forget about it and move the fuck on. [1/16/2014 5:33:45 PM] Wynn: I really don't know her well enough to comment on the situation. [1/16/2014 5:34:16 PM] Kali: Tarak: It's hard to apologize through a fucking door. [1/16/2014 5:34:29 PM] Wynn: Yes, I would guess so. [1/16/2014 5:34:41 PM] Wynn: Luckily I at least got mine to open the door first. [1/16/2014 5:35:03 PM] Jhett: Jhett walks in with a violin case under his arm. [1/16/2014 5:35:16 PM] Wynn: Hey Jhett. You got some clothes, right? [1/16/2014 5:35:23 PM] Jhett: I did. [1/16/2014 5:35:24 PM] Kali: Kestrel follows him, quietly. [1/16/2014 5:35:41 PM] Wynn: Hello, Kestrel. Glad to see you out and about. [1/16/2014 5:35:51 PM] Kali: Kestrel nods. [1/16/2014 5:36:07 PM] Kali: Tarak: You been hidin' from us? [1/16/2014 5:36:12 PM] Kali: Kestrel shakes her head no. [1/16/2014 5:37:31 PM] Wynn: Wynn looks from Kes to Tarak and back, then sighs. "Yep. Lots to learn." [1/16/2014 5:38:00 PM] Jhett: I got some weird fruit back in Dragonwyck. Save the seeds, if we like it, I'll ask Talas to grow it. [1/16/2014 5:38:37 PM] Kali: Kestrel nibbles the fruit carefully. "... it is sour, but less so than a lemon." [1/16/2014 5:39:04 PM] Jhett: It would probably be good in a pastry. [1/16/2014 5:39:19 PM] Kali: Tarak: Well we never did get to the training room. There's always tomorrow. [1/16/2014 5:39:57 PM] Kali: He uncorks a bottle of something, clearly brought from his room. [1/16/2014 5:40:03 PM] Wynn: Wynn nods. "You're the boss." [1/16/2014 5:40:11 PM] Kali: Kestrel: Pastry. I do not cook. [1/16/2014 5:40:18 PM] Jhett: I grew up in a bakery. [1/16/2014 5:41:03 PM] Kali: Tarak: I nominate him to cook. [1/16/2014 5:41:15 PM] Wynn: Allys said you were a great cook. [1/16/2014 5:41:54 PM] Janis: ((back)) [1/16/2014 5:42:15 PM] Kali: Tarak blinks. "... did she?" [1/16/2014 5:42:30 PM] Janis: ((is everyone in the galley still)) [1/16/2014 5:42:30 PM] Wynn: Well... she said you were better than she is. [1/16/2014 5:42:38 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) wanders out from her room and goes towards the Galley. [1/16/2014 5:42:40 PM] Wynn: ((Right now, me Tarak, Kes and Jhett)) [1/16/2014 5:42:50 PM] Wynn: And her pancakes were pretty good. [1/16/2014 5:42:58 PM] Janis: ((And Lira, apparently)) [1/16/2014 5:43:10 PM] Janis: Janis enters the galley, a little sootier than before. [1/16/2014 5:43:26 PM] Janis: Are we making pancakes again? [1/16/2014 5:43:54 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) smiles at Janis. "I dunno, are we?" [1/16/2014 5:44:05 PM] Kali: Tarak: It usually doesn't turn out the way it's supposed to when I do it. [1/16/2014 5:44:08 PM] Wynn: I'm going to go put these in storage. [1/16/2014 5:44:25 PM] Wynn: Wynn takes the sack, my books, and my papers and exits! [1/16/2014 5:44:39 PM] Kali: Tarak eyes Janis, lazily. "She answer all your questions?" [1/16/2014 5:44:47 PM] Janis: Not really. [1/16/2014 5:44:53 PM] Wynn: ((:P)) [1/16/2014 5:45:01 PM] Janis: Fathers do something, but I still don't know what. [1/16/2014 5:45:03 PM] Kali: Tarak: Oh, well. What didn't she say? [1/16/2014 5:45:20 PM] Kali: Kestrel: What is the topic of discussion? [1/16/2014 5:45:36 PM] Janis: ((And Lira and Jhett's butt holes clench so hard, you can hear the clanging sound)) [1/16/2014 5:45:45 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): (( :P )) [1/16/2014 5:45:50 PM] Wynn: ((lovely visual. thanks for that.)) [1/16/2014 5:46:19 PM] Jhett: On the way back, we met a friendly dragon who was a bit unclear on the particulars of humanoid reproduction. [1/16/2014 5:46:22 PM] Janis: ((I'm starting to think I'm more Tarak than Janis in real-life :) )) [1/16/2014 5:46:44 PM] Kali: Kestrel: Janis is too young to reproduce. [1/16/2014 5:46:44 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) frowns a bit. "Mayhaps I should find another place to practice my craft." [1/16/2014 5:47:04 PM] Janis: Tarak said I wasn't [1/16/2014 5:47:14 PM] Wynn: Wynn returns sans sack, books, papers, and cloak. [1/16/2014 5:47:39 PM] Kali: Tarak swallows wrong and starts coughing again. [1/16/2014 5:47:44 PM] Janis: ((And now Tarak's shit himself)) [1/16/2014 5:48:09 PM] Kali: Kestrel: ... I am reasonably certain you are of insufficient age for optimal reproduction. [1/16/2014 5:48:31 PM] Wynn: ...... [1/16/2014 5:48:34 PM] Janis: Tarak said I was old enough that I should know what mating was. [1/16/2014 5:48:50 PM] Janis: ((Somewhere, Pedobear is peeking round a corner)) [1/16/2014 5:48:54 PM] Kali: Tarak wheezes a little bit, still coughing. "I did...  *not* say that." [1/16/2014 5:49:15 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) stands up, taking her materials, and exits the Galley, muttering under her breath. [1/16/2014 5:49:18 PM] Wynn: Well... [1/16/2014 5:49:24 PM] Kali: Tarak: I said you should know what it *is* not that you should go on ahead an' *do* it. [1/16/2014 5:49:37 PM] Jhett: Jhett pulls out flour and baking supplies. [1/16/2014 5:49:47 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) goes to the Library! [1/16/2014 5:50:33 PM] Wynn: Well, Tarak, you seem to be the resident expert. What were you going to tell her I didn't? [1/16/2014 5:50:49 PM] Kali: Tarak: Well I don't know, I don't know what you said! [1/16/2014 5:51:04 PM] Janis: I said, Wynn told me it was fathers and not doctors. [1/16/2014 5:51:13 PM] Janis: But I still don't know what they do. [1/16/2014 5:51:28 PM] Wynn: Wynn looks at Tarak expectantly. [1/16/2014 5:51:56 PM] Jhett: Jhett starts making pastry dough. [1/16/2014 5:53:03 PM] Kali: Tarak clears his throat and gives a lengthy, detailed and *surprisingly* accurate and rather clinical explanation. It takes a while. [1/16/2014 5:53:29 PM] Janis: ......................ewwwwwwwwwwww. [1/16/2014 5:53:34 PM] Janis: Why would anyone do that? [1/16/2014 5:53:44 PM] Wynn: Wynn blushes a few times during his speech. [1/16/2014 5:53:58 PM] Janis: ((Jhett is tuning them so far out :D )) [1/16/2014 5:54:11 PM] Kali: Tarak: Short version: When you turn into an adult your brain goes nuts and you think it's great. [1/16/2014 5:54:39 PM] Janis: ...wait, was that what you were doing with orc chick and elf guy? [1/16/2014 5:54:52 PM] Janis: ...why would you want to make a baby with them and just fly off! [1/16/2014 5:55:10 PM] Jhett: Jhett is making nice, wholesome pastry dough! [1/16/2014 5:55:12 PM] Kali: Tarak: Yep. Though it's uuuuuusually considered impolite to ask. [1/16/2014 5:55:21 PM] Wynn: ..... not every time creates a child, Janis. [1/16/2014 5:55:50 PM] Kali: Tarak explains about birth control! (Yes, it exists in this world and it's extremely effective. There are male *and* female versions.) [1/16/2014 5:56:10 PM] Janis: ...wait...why would you do it if you don't want a baby? [1/16/2014 5:56:14 PM] Janis: That's just weird. [1/16/2014 5:56:21 PM] Kali: Tarak: It's pretty fuckin' weird. [1/16/2014 5:57:03 PM] Kali: Kestrel: This is a very awkward conversation. [1/16/2014 5:57:14 PM] Jhett: Extremely. [1/16/2014 5:57:22 PM] Wynn: Agreed. [1/16/2014 5:57:34 PM] Janis: ((Maybe Tarak should've taken Janis aside first)) [1/16/2014 5:58:40 PM] Kali: Tarak: Well she had to know eventually. You want her to get pregnant for not knowing? It happens. [1/16/2014 5:59:12 PM] Janis: ....this is just so gross. [1/16/2014 5:59:16 PM] Wynn: Well, generally you don't need to go into details until they stop thinking it's "weird". [1/16/2014 5:59:33 PM] Kali: Tarak: Usually by then it *is* too late. [1/16/2014 6:00:00 PM] Kali: Tarak: Besides, some of 'em do it 'cause they want to see what all the fuss is about *while* they think it's weird. Don't you know any kids? [1/16/2014 6:00:13 PM] Wynn: ..... [1/16/2014 6:01:05 PM] Janis: ...wait, what kids have you met? [1/16/2014 6:01:18 PM] Kali: Tarak: Well I *was* one. [1/16/2014 6:01:27 PM] Janis: So was Wynn...I think. [1/16/2014 6:01:37 PM] Janis: I'm pretty sure. [1/16/2014 6:01:45 PM] Wynn: Wynn smiles slightly. "Once." [1/16/2014 6:01:58 PM] Kali: Tarak: Yeah, somehow I don't *think* you had that particular problem. [1/16/2014 6:02:22 PM] Graaver: ((Ok, I have to go now guys. Very entertaining story today with that dragon! xD)) [1/16/2014 6:02:29 PM] Jhett: Jhett starts cutting up the fruit. [1/16/2014 6:02:29 PM] Wynn: ((night Graaver)) [1/16/2014 6:02:34 PM] Graaver: ((Night)) [1/16/2014 6:02:41 PM] Kali: ((ni!)) [1/16/2014 6:02:49 PM] Wynn: Wynn looks a little confused. [1/16/2014 6:02:51 PM] Janis: ((G-night)) [1/16/2014 6:03:38 PM] Kali: Tarak: I can smell a virgin from 50 paces. [1/16/2014 6:03:50 PM] Jhett: ... gross. [1/16/2014 6:04:03 PM] Wynn: Wynn blushes again! [1/16/2014 6:04:07 PM] Wynn: :D [1/16/2014 6:04:14 PM] Wynn: ((I almost spat out my pizza, IRL)) [1/16/2014 6:04:14 PM] Kali: Tarak: Not *literally*. Shit, you people are weird. [1/16/2014 6:04:22 PM] Janis: ...what's a virgin? [1/16/2014 6:04:35 PM] Janis: ((Just when you think we're done with this)) [1/16/2014 6:04:39 PM] Kali: Tarak: Somebody who hsan't had sex. Prob'ly because they believe in some bullshit notion of physical purity. [1/16/2014 6:04:56 PM] Kali: Tarak: Or worse, romance. [1/16/2014 6:05:02 PM] Wynn: Not always. [1/16/2014 6:05:28 PM] Kali: Tarak shrugs. "People have different reasons." [1/16/2014 6:06:05 PM] Janis: Janis nods [1/16/2014 6:06:18 PM] Janis: ...well...I'm gonna be thinking about this a while. [1/16/2014 6:06:29 PM] Kali: Tarak: Just don't do it, kid. You're too young. [1/16/2014 6:06:36 PM] Wynn: Indeed. [1/16/2014 6:06:46 PM] Kali: Tarak: And I'd probably have to chop his head off. Or hers. Either way. [1/16/2014 6:06:48 PM] Janis: ...don't I need someone else to do it anyway? [1/16/2014 6:07:01 PM | Edited 6:07:05 PM] Janis: ...who am I gonna do...it...with? [1/16/2014 6:07:16 PM] Kali: Tarak: Nobody. exactly. [1/16/2014 6:07:25 PM] Janis: ...ok then. [1/16/2014 6:07:42 PM] Janis: ....where's the bi--uh...Allys? [1/16/2014 6:08:09 PM] Wynn: ((Allys appears! lol)) [1/16/2014 6:08:11 PM] Kali: Tarak: She's in her room. If you're feeling brave, see if you can get her to come outta there so I can apologize for being a dick. [1/16/2014 6:08:26 PM] Janis: Ok [1/16/2014 6:08:29 PM] Janis: Janis heads out [1/16/2014 6:08:42 PM] Janis: ((Is this another convo?)) [1/16/2014 6:08:48 PM] Kali: ((Yep.)) [1/16/2014 6:08:51 PM] Wynn: So what *did* happen with the last one? [1/16/2014 6:09:13 PM] Kali: Tarak shrugs. "Died." [1/16/2014 6:10:25 PM] Jhett: Jhett starts rolling out dough. [1/16/2014 6:10:53 PM] Jhett: ... where are you from, originally, Tarak? [1/16/2014 6:10:57 PM] Kalor: ((Goodnight everyone)) [1/16/2014 6:11:02 PM] Wynn: ((night Kalor)) [1/16/2014 6:11:07 PM] Jhett: ((Night!)) [1/16/2014 6:11:37 PM] Kali: Tarak: ... Meneluinin. It's been a long damn time, though. [1/16/2014 6:11:49 PM] Jhett: Thought so. [1/16/2014 6:11:50 PM] Wynn: Really? How did you wind up here? [1/16/2014 6:12:08 PM] Janis: ((What are the odds)) [1/16/2014 6:12:36 PM | Edited 6:14:11 PM] Wynn: Wynn inhales as she makes the realization. "That's how you knew Kestrel was Academy." [1/16/2014 6:12:48 PM] Jhett: Jhett nods. "Exactly." [1/16/2014 6:13:21 PM] Kali: Tarak: We were sent here. [1/16/2014 6:13:36 PM] Wynn: By who? [1/16/2014 6:14:36 PM] Kali: Tarak: Couple of priests. [1/16/2014 6:15:12 PM] Wynn: You're not incredibly talkative when you're not talking about sex, you know. [1/16/2014 6:15:39 PM] Jhett: Jhett starts folding the fruit into the dough. [1/16/2014 6:15:42 PM] Kali: Tarak: Well, if you *want* me to talk about sex... [1/16/2014 6:15:51 PM] Wynn: No, I think I'm good. [1/16/2014 6:16:06 PM] Wynn: I'm just curious about you and Allys. [1/16/2014 6:16:37 PM] Kali: Tarak: I mostly do what she says these days. [1/16/2014 6:16:54 PM] Wynn: You're a paladin. What does she do? [1/16/2014 6:17:37 PM] Kali: Tarak: Mostly she bitches at me. [1/16/2014 6:17:59 PM] Wynn: Is she a priest? A knight? A fighter with pretty armor? [1/16/2014 6:18:30 PM] Wynn: ...It is *really* pretty armor. [1/16/2014 6:18:44 PM] Kali: Tarak: She's a priest. Yeah, I guess you get to look pretty when you're with the dragons. [1/16/2014 6:20:16 PM] Wynn: I had a chance to purchase some gold and silver armor. [1/16/2014 6:20:56 PM] Wynn: I was fairly certain I'd be laughed at. [1/16/2014 6:21:20 PM] Kali: Tarak: Yeah, well. You've seen mine. [1/16/2014 6:21:36 PM] Wynn: Wynn frowns. "I have. Do you ever clean it?" [1/16/2014 6:21:40 PM] Wynn: Or fix it? [1/16/2014 6:22:08 PM] Kali: Tarak: What for? [1/16/2014 6:22:27 PM] Wynn: ...if nothing more than efficiency? [1/16/2014 6:22:33 PM] Wynn: Pride in what you stand for? [1/16/2014 6:22:37 PM] Jhett: Jhett lays the tarts out on a baking sheet and starts setting them in the oven. [1/16/2014 6:22:46 PM] Kali: Kestrel watches Jhett. [1/16/2014 6:22:50 PM] Wynn: You don't think people look at you and make a snap judgment about you and your god? [1/16/2014 6:23:02 PM] Kali: Tarak: The hell would I be proud of what I stand for? [1/16/2014 6:23:17 PM] Wynn: ......why stand for it if you're not? [1/16/2014 6:23:41 PM] Kali: Tarak: Like I told the kid, it's what we do. It *is* what we do. [1/16/2014 6:23:48 PM] Kali: Kestrel: Illogical. [1/16/2014 6:24:10 PM] Wynn: I don't understand. [1/16/2014 6:25:05 PM] Kali: Tarak: The hell would I be proud of being a god's butcher? [1/16/2014 6:25:32 PM] Kali: Tarak: Shit, I don't even know if I qualify for that. Seems like most days, I'm just the knife. [1/16/2014 6:25:59 PM] Wynn: Why do it if you don't agree? [1/16/2014 6:26:09 PM] Kali: Tarak: I said I'd do it. [1/16/2014 6:27:18 PM] Wynn: Wynn nods. "I can at least understand that." [1/16/2014 6:27:38 PM] Kali: Kestrel:... perhaps you merely need a lawyer. I would like to play. [1/16/2014 6:27:58 PM] Wynn: Play? [1/16/2014 6:28:17 PM] Kali: Kestrel holds up her dulcimer. [1/16/2014 6:28:25 PM] Wynn: Wynn smiles. [1/16/2014 6:28:33 PM] Wynn: I wondered when you'd make good on your threats. [1/16/2014 6:29:11 PM] Kali: Kestrel pauses. "It is not a threat. I will not play if you do not wish to hear." [1/16/2014 6:29:27 PM] Nilani: Nilani bursts through the door, looking flustered, clutching a book and her slate. [1/16/2014 6:29:31 PM] Wynn: It's just a figure of speech. You've mentioned that you play several times. [1/16/2014 6:29:37 PM] Wynn: I'd love to hear it. [1/16/2014 6:29:53 PM] Wynn: Nilani? Something wrong? [1/16/2014 6:30:29 PM] Nilani: Nilani pulls out a piece of chalk, dropping the book in the process, and scribbles frantically: [1/16/2014 6:31:03 PM] Kali: Kestrel: Are you hurt? [1/16/2014 6:31:07 PM] Nilani: ~DO NOT LISTEN TO RAVEN PLAY! HE CAN CONTROL YOUR MOVEMENT. [1/16/2014 6:31:22 PM] Wynn: Raven? [1/16/2014 6:31:53 PM] Jhett: Jhett blinks. [1/16/2014 6:31:55 PM] Nilani: Nilani sees kestrel, places the slate somewhere safe, and begins signing. [1/16/2014 6:32:21 PM] Kali: Kestrel translates. [1/16/2014 6:33:25 PM] Kali: Kestrel: He is in the library. He played a song that kept me from moving during its duration. I am uninjured. [1/16/2014 6:33:54 PM] Wynn: What?! [1/16/2014 6:34:11 PM] Wynn: Is anyone else there? [1/16/2014 6:34:13 PM] Jhett: Where has he been? [1/16/2014 6:35:37 PM] Kali: Kestrel: Lira and Kalor are tere. He has apparently been trying to escape and failing. [1/16/2014 6:35:48 PM] Wynn: Escape? Nation? [1/16/2014 6:36:11 PM] Wynn: Are Lira and Kalor ok? [1/16/2014 6:36:22 PM] Nilani: Nilani nods [1/16/2014 6:37:10 PM] Kali: Kestrel nods to Nilani. [1/16/2014 6:37:23 PM] Nilani: Nilani smiles [1/16/2014 6:37:43 PM] Jhett: There are people that can influence others through music, magically. [1/16/2014 6:38:07 PM] Wynn: ....... Is he a threat? [1/16/2014 6:38:16 PM] Nilani: Nilani pales and signs something [1/16/2014 6:39:20 PM] Jhett: Jhett watches the exchange. [1/16/2014 6:40:38 PM] Nilani: Nilani picks up her book and places it on the table [1/16/2014 6:40:41 PM] Kali: Kestrel: I am not suggesting that we attack him. I think he may become a threat, but he has been civil so far. We should simply be careful, and possibly find a way to deaden our ears to the effects of his music. [1/16/2014 6:41:13 PM] Jhett: Making you unable to move doesn't seem harmless. [1/16/2014 6:41:24 PM] Wynn: ((sorry I ate too much and am now feeling the effects. lol)) [1/16/2014 6:41:30 PM] Wynn: Indeed. [1/16/2014 6:42:10 PM] Wynn: Perhaps we should go see what is going on. [1/16/2014 6:43:12 PM] Nilani: Nilani walks over to the sink and puts some water in her ears. [1/16/2014 6:43:16 PM] Wynn: ((didn't kalor go to bed?)) [1/16/2014 6:43:39 PM] Kali: Water probably won't do it, unfortunately. [1/16/2014 6:43:44 PM] Nilani: ((yeah, he's still there, though, I think, just reading.)) [1/16/2014 6:43:52 PM] Nilani: Nilani shrugs [1/16/2014 6:44:03 PM] Wynn: Wynn goes to the library! [1/16/2014 6:44:25 PM] Nilani: Nilani follows at a distance [1/16/2014 6:44:46 PM] Kali: Tarak follows Wynn, as does Kestrel. [1/16/2014 6:44:57 PM] Jhett: Jhett follows as well. [1/16/2014 6:45:09 PM] Wynn: ((don't forget your pastries!)) [1/16/2014 6:45:17 PM] Janis: Janis re-enters [1/16/2014 6:45:18 PM] Jhett: ((They have to cook.)) [1/16/2014 6:45:26 PM] Janis: ((Is Tarak still there?) [1/16/2014 6:45:30 PM] Kali: Everyone shows up in the library; Raven is still lounging, sprawled out on a couch across from Lira. [1/16/2014 6:45:42 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) is working on her longbow! [1/16/2014 6:45:44 PM] Janis: Janis enters the library [1/16/2014 6:45:45 PM] Kali: Tarak is heading for the library with everyone else. [1/16/2014 6:45:55 PM] Janis: Hey, Tar...what the... [1/16/2014 6:45:59 PM] Wynn: .....Hello, Raven. [1/16/2014 6:46:01 PM] Janis: ...RAVEN?!? [1/16/2014 6:46:14 PM] Kali: Raven smiles a little smile and waves at everyone. He has pipes in his hand. [1/16/2014 6:46:15 PM] Wynn: We were wondering where you'd gone. [1/16/2014 6:46:28 PM] Kali: Raven: Why, I tried to escape. Didn't you? [1/16/2014 6:46:30 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) waves with one hand to the party entering the library. [1/16/2014 6:46:39 PM] Wynn: .... No. [1/16/2014 6:46:50 PM] Janis: ...you tried just getting off the ship? [1/16/2014 6:47:35 PM] Kali: Raven: Of course. How did we know they weren't lying? [1/16/2014 6:47:55 PM] Kali: Tarak: What's this about freezing girls in their tracks? [1/16/2014 6:48:11 PM] Nilani: Nilani facepalms in the hall [1/16/2014 6:48:23 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) frowns. "Freezing what?" [1/16/2014 6:48:26 PM] Kali: Raven: ... freezing? [1/16/2014 6:48:48 PM] Janis: ...Oh, hi Tarak. [1/16/2014 6:48:58 PM] Janis: So, Raven, what happened? [1/16/2014 6:49:16 PM] Kali: Raven: Why, I returned to the pods each time. Most unsatisfactory. [1/16/2014 6:49:26 PM] Janis: How many times did you try it? [1/16/2014 6:49:35 PM] Kali: Raven shrugs. "Several." [1/16/2014 6:49:38 PM] Wynn: Huh. [1/16/2014 6:49:54 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) looks towards Tarak. "So what's this about freezing girls?" [1/16/2014 6:50:09 PM] Kali: Tarak: I don't know. Apparently he froze Nilani, here. [1/16/2014 6:50:24 PM] Nilani: Nilani facepalms again [1/16/2014 6:50:31 PM] Wynn: Right. Might I see your pipes for a moment? [1/16/2014 6:50:41 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) looks at Nilani and then Wynn and then Raven. [1/16/2014 6:50:44 PM] Kali: Raven: Why? [1/16/2014 6:50:50 PM] Wynn: I'm curious. [1/16/2014 6:51:06 PM] Kali: Raven: I would prefer not. They're rather important to me. [1/16/2014 6:51:19 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) tries to sense Raven's motive! [1/16/2014 6:51:25 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): ((22)) [1/16/2014 6:51:44 PM] Janis: ...what are they? [1/16/2014 6:52:03 PM] Kali: Raven: Pipes, of course, made from fallen branches of glorious trees. [1/16/2014 6:52:08 PM] Nilani: ((SM:23)) [1/16/2014 6:52:16 PM] Wynn: Did you play some music magic? That might have caused a paralysis effect? [1/16/2014 6:52:38 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) stands up. "He didn't do it on purpose." [1/16/2014 6:52:48 PM] Wynn: Wynn raises an eyebrow. [1/16/2014 6:53:00 PM] Kali: Raven: Music magic, why no, I certainly don't think so. [1/16/2014 6:53:27 PM] Janis: ...so, are you not gonna try escaping anymore? [1/16/2014 6:53:38 PM] Wynn: What do you mean, Lira? [1/16/2014 6:53:48 PM] Kali: Raven: Perhaps. I couldn't say. [1/16/2014 6:53:48 PM] Nilani: Nilani looks a bit relieved, but is still intensely suspicious. [1/16/2014 6:53:52 PM] Wynn: It's not exactly something that can be done on accident. [1/16/2014 6:54:07 PM] Wynn: Much like you couldn't accidentally cast a spell. [1/16/2014 6:54:21 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) frowns a bit. "Perhaps it is his pipes, as you say. But I trust that he didn't do it on purpose." [1/16/2014 6:54:41 PM] Jhett: Jhett uses Detect Magic on the pipes. [1/16/2014 6:55:09 PM | Edited 6:55:16 PM] Jhett: The pipes are just pipes. [1/16/2014 6:55:20 PM] Kali: Raven: Made of good wood, as I said. [1/16/2014 6:55:29 PM] Wynn: Well, let this be a warning... to everyone. There will be no more acts from one crewmember to another that could be construed as harmful or forceful. [1/16/2014 6:55:35 PM] Janis: On 1/16/14, at 9:55 PM, Jhett wrote: > The pipes are just pies.

((...I like this explanation better. The pipes are pies!)) [1/16/2014 6:55:43 PM] Wynn: No more compelling persons to do something against their will with force. [1/16/2014 6:55:45 PM] Kali: ((I like pies in general.)) [1/16/2014 6:56:03 PM] Janis: ....what was this paralyzing? [1/16/2014 6:56:05 PM] Kali: Raven: I would not dream of doing such a thing, especially not to such a lovely lady. [1/16/2014 6:56:13 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) looks at Wynn with a scowl. "And what about what happened with the goo? Did you not agree that it was needed?" [1/16/2014 6:56:26 PM] Wynn: Did I not say "no more?" [1/16/2014 6:56:28 PM] Janis: Oh Gods, not this again. [1/16/2014 6:56:36 PM] Kali: Kestrel: ... perhaps I should not be present for this conversation. [1/16/2014 6:56:53 PM] Wynn: You have as much right to be here as anyone else, Kestrel. [1/16/2014 6:56:59 PM] Janis: ((Is Tarak still in armor? And if so, does it have a codpiece?)) [1/16/2014 6:57:07 PM] Wynn: (oh gods...)) [1/16/2014 6:57:11 PM] Kali: Tarak is not in armor; he is carrying his greatsword, though. [1/16/2014 6:57:16 PM] Janis: ((Good)) [1/16/2014 6:57:20 PM] Janis: Janis turns to Tarak [1/16/2014 6:57:22 PM] Janis: You. [1/16/2014 6:57:25 PM] Kali: Tarak: I have no idea what any of you are talkin' about, what I wanna know is, do I chop his head off, or not? [1/16/2014 6:57:59 PM] Wynn: ....No. Not yet anyway. [1/16/2014 6:58:12 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) sits back down and continues working on her bow. "Nonetheless, he didn't do it on *purpose*" [1/16/2014 6:58:20 PM] Wynn: Raven, you did not cause Nilani to become unable to move while you played? [1/16/2014 6:58:25 PM | Edited 6:58:49 PM] Kali: Tarak looks him up and down. "... not seeing any negative energy, but then that means fuck-all." [1/16/2014 6:58:48 PM] Wynn: ((dammit... forgot again. lol)) [1/16/2014 6:58:55 PM] Janis: ...hey, Tarak! [1/16/2014 6:59:06 PM | Edited 6:59:15 PM] Kali: Tarak: Yeah? [1/16/2014 6:59:22 PM] Janis: Allys said she'd see you at her room for your apology. [1/16/2014 6:59:54 PM] Kali: Tarak: ... really? ... didn't think that'd work, she usually sulks for a couple days and comes out when she's not afraid she's gonna hit me in the face anymore. [1/16/2014 6:59:58 PM] Wynn: ((Why did it matter if he had a codpiece? lol)) [1/16/2014 7:00:10 PM] Kali: Raven: Who is this "Allys"? [1/16/2014 7:00:13 PM] Janis: Nope, she'll see you now, but first, I have something to say. [1/16/2014 7:00:25 PM] Kali: Tarak: All right? [1/16/2014 7:00:33 PM] Janis: Janis kicks Tarak in the nuts, hard! [1/16/2014 7:00:44 PM] Janis: Next time you want to hurt your sister, leave me out of it! [1/16/2014 7:00:44 PM] Wynn: Janis! [1/16/2014 7:00:53 PM] Kali: He doubles up on the ground, wheezing. [1/16/2014 7:00:57 PM] Kali: Raven: ... that was unkind. [1/16/2014 7:01:02 PM] Janis: Janis crosses her arms and walks toward the chairs [1/16/2014 7:01:14 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) looks at Raven. "...Apparently, Allys is this guy's sister..." [1/16/2014 7:01:17 PM] Wynn: ............Am I invisible? [1/16/2014 7:01:21 PM] Janis: ((Man that felt good)) [1/16/2014 7:01:27 PM] Janis: ((Even ficitionally)) [1/16/2014 7:01:28 PM] Kali: Kestrel: No. [1/16/2014 7:01:36 PM] Kali: ((Hee.)) [1/16/2014 7:02:13 PM] Wynn: Didn't I *just* say no more? [1/16/2014 7:02:20 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) snickers. [1/16/2014 7:02:26 PM] Kali: Tarak: ... had it... coming. [1/16/2014 7:02:27 PM] Janis: He started it! [1/16/2014 7:02:29 PM] Jhett: Jhett winces. [1/16/2014 7:03:14 PM] Kali: Notice check. [1/16/2014 7:03:16 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Hey Raven, I know, why don't you play that tune again? Maybe it's the tune.. [1/16/2014 7:03:22 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): ((26)) [1/16/2014 7:03:30 PM] Wynn: ((10)) [1/16/2014 7:03:30 PM] Janis: ((28)) [1/16/2014 7:03:37 PM] Kali: Raven: But if I played that tune and it *did* something to all of you... [1/16/2014 7:03:45 PM] Nilani: ((11)) [1/16/2014 7:03:47 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): It didn't affect me last time. [1/16/2014 7:04:01 PM] Janis: What tune? [1/16/2014 7:04:20 PM] Wynn: Nilani said that Raven's music caused her to become immobile. [1/16/2014 7:04:45 PM] Janis: .......Tarak. [1/16/2014 7:04:55 PM] Janis: Janis goes over, now suddenly looking concerned [1/16/2014 7:04:58 PM] Janis: Are you ok? [1/16/2014 7:05:02 PM] Kali: Tarak: I surrender, kid. Shit, ow. [1/16/2014 7:05:04 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) looks at Tarak worriedly as well. [1/16/2014 7:05:12 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): You're bleeding...! [1/16/2014 7:05:22 PM] Wynn: What? [1/16/2014 7:05:26 PM] Janis: I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! [1/16/2014 7:05:51 PM] Kali: Tarak: Hey, hey, hey. It's okay, it's not from anywhere *important.* Calm down. Fuck, that might leave a mark, ow. [1/16/2014 7:06:20 PM] Jhett: Jhett looks at Tarak. [1/16/2014 7:06:25 PM] Wynn: ......do you have healing left? [1/16/2014 7:06:33 PM] Wynn: I know you used some on Nilani. [1/16/2014 7:07:10 PM] Kali: Tarak: It's not worth bothering with, I just didn't land too graceful in the pit. Stop frettin' at me. [1/16/2014 7:07:40 PM] Wynn: Generally *bleeding* is something to be concerned about. [1/16/2014 7:07:47 PM] Janis: You've been bleeding since then?!? [1/16/2014 7:07:53 PM] Kali: He is indeed oozing a bit of blood on his left side, between the waist and the hip. [1/16/2014 7:08:01 PM] Kali: It's coming through the fabric of his shirt, finally. [1/16/2014 7:08:06 PM] Wynn: Let me help. [1/16/2014 7:08:10 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) frowns. "You should really get that taken care of." [1/16/2014 7:08:39 PM] Kali: Tarak: Nah, it stopped for a while. It's just bruised. Don't waste the healing, we might need it later. [1/16/2014 7:09:13 PM] Wynn: I'm not accustomed to doing *nothing* while people bleed. [1/16/2014 7:09:25 PM] Janis: Really? You're gonna play mister tough guy now? [1/16/2014 7:09:46 PM] Kali: Tarak: I'm not being *tough*, just realistic. You don't know what's gonna come out of those pods today. [1/16/2014 7:09:49 PM] Wynn: At least let me heal it enough to stop the bleeding. [1/16/2014 7:10:14 PM] Wynn: If for no other reason than to prevent ruining that shirt. [1/16/2014 7:10:37 PM] Kali: Tarak: It's probably ruined already. [1/16/2014 7:10:45 PM] Wynn: Besides, should something hostile come from the pod today, I'd prefer to have you at full strength. [1/16/2014 7:11:16 PM] Kali: Tarak: Fine, but if somebody dies 'cause of this we're all gonna remember it forever. [1/16/2014 7:11:31 PM] Janis: Nobody's gonna die [1/16/2014 7:11:35 PM] Wynn: Wynn frowns. [1/16/2014 7:11:46 PM] Janis: In the week we've been here, only one of the pods has been really hostile. [1/16/2014 7:11:50 PM] Wynn: Wynn places a hand on Tarak's side and heals him enough to close the wound. [1/16/2014 7:11:59 PM] Wynn: ((how many hp, do you think?)) [1/16/2014 7:12:20 PM] Kali: 8. [1/16/2014 7:12:28 PM] Wynn: ((lol just enough)) [1/16/2014 7:13:09 PM] Wynn: Besides, we have Larry. And if your... sister is a priest, does she have healing as well? [1/16/2014 7:13:35 PM] Kali: Tarak: Yeah, but she doesn't blow it on flesh wounds either. [1/16/2014 7:13:41 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) continues to work on her longbow, seeing as Wynn has it covered. [1/16/2014 7:13:50 PM] Wynn: But she could if something came out of the pods. [1/16/2014 7:14:18 PM] Jhett: Jhett, not adding much to the proceedings, slips away to check on the pastry. Priorities. [1/16/2014 7:14:24 PM] Janis: ((Lira also has a longbow? I did not notice that before)) [1/16/2014 7:14:27 PM] Wynn: ((heh)) [1/16/2014 7:14:33 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): ((Nope, working on making it.)) [1/16/2014 7:14:45 PM] Wynn: Are you feeling better now, Tarak? [1/16/2014 7:15:10 PM] Kali: Tarak: Yeah, sure. Kid, you have a mean kick. [1/16/2014 7:15:17 PM] Wynn: Good. Now go apologize. [1/16/2014 7:15:29 PM] Kali: Tarak: Yeah. [1/16/2014 7:15:37 PM] Kali: Tarak eyes Raven again, and then departs. [1/16/2014 7:15:52 PM] Janis: And my name's not KID! [1/16/2014 7:15:59 PM] Janis: ...stupid jerk. [1/16/2014 7:16:12 PM] Wynn: Don't feel bad, Janis. He's still calling me kid too. [1/16/2014 7:16:19 PM] Janis: Janis nods [1/16/2014 7:16:34 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) looks at Raven. "So, about that tune?" [1/16/2014 7:16:43 PM] Wynn: Wynn eyes Raven. [1/16/2014 7:17:00 PM] Janis: I still don't know where this tune thing is coming from. [1/16/2014 7:17:29 PM] Kali: Raven: I had better not play. I might hurt someone. [1/16/2014 7:17:39 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): From what I can tell, they think that Raven was playing something that caused Nilani to freeze. [1/16/2014 7:17:56 PM] Janis: ...just now? [1/16/2014 7:18:09 PM] Janis: Janis looks at Nilani, as if expecting her to still be frozen [1/16/2014 7:18:21 PM | Edited 7:18:39 PM] Nilani: Nilani grins weakly at Janis [1/16/2014 7:18:23 PM] Wynn: She told us she could not move while he was playing. [1/16/2014 7:18:50 PM] Janis: ...huh. [1/16/2014 7:18:52 PM] Kali: Raven: Are you quite certain? [1/16/2014 7:19:00 PM] Janis: Where'd you get the pipes? [1/16/2014 7:19:09 PM] Kali: Raven: I made them myself. [1/16/2014 7:19:22 PM] Janis: Where'd you get the wood? [1/16/2014 7:19:22 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Where'd you learn the tunes? [1/16/2014 7:20:20 PM] Wynn: Wynn frowns. [1/16/2014 7:20:36 PM] Kali: Raven: I picked them up in a forest, long ago. And I made them myself as well. [1/16/2014 7:20:45 PM] Janis: Janis nods [1/16/2014 7:21:10 PM] Kali: Raven: For now, I will simply avoid playing. Alas, music is a great comfort in this miserable place. [1/16/2014 7:21:15 PM] Kali: Kestrel: I can play. [1/16/2014 7:21:26 PM] Wynn: ...I'll be back. [1/16/2014 7:21:36 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) looks at Raven. "Alright, I guess it's for the best.." [1/16/2014 7:21:39 PM] Wynn: Wynn leaves! [1/16/2014 7:21:44 PM] Janis: Are you a bard? [1/16/2014 7:21:55 PM] Janis: I don't think we ever got to know you. [1/16/2014 7:22:06 PM] Kali: Who is Janis asking? [1/16/2014 7:22:46 PM] Janis: ((Raven)) [1/16/2014 7:23:32 PM] Kali: Raven: What's a bard? [1/16/2014 7:23:46 PM] Kali: Raven, to Kestrel: Do you play the pipes? [1/16/2014 7:23:57 PM] Kali: Kestrel: Only the dulcimer. [1/16/2014 7:24:11 PM] Kali: Raven: I have never seen one of those. Please, do play. Something... cheerful. [1/16/2014 7:24:20 PM] Wynn: Wynn returns. [1/16/2014 7:24:39 PM] Janis: Janis turns to Wynn "What's wrong?"

[1/16/2014 7:27:39 PM] Janis: ((Oddly enough, I have AC/DC playing in the background. I imagine this sounds nothing like that.)) [1/16/2014 7:28:25 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) enjoys listening to the music, and turns towards Raven. "Bards usually play music for money, to tell tales, or for enjoyment." [1/16/2014 7:28:52 PM] Kali: Raven: What would I need money for? [1/16/2014 7:29:05 PM] Kali: (( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TxjpYHhfRyI  Sounds more like that.)) [1/16/2014 7:29:10 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) looks at Raven funny. [1/16/2014 7:29:45 PM] Kali: ((Although there's always this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wxx916B049M )) [1/16/2014 7:30:54 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): You use money to buy things, of course. Food, supplies, spells, equipment, all sorts of things. [1/16/2014 7:31:07 PM] Wynn (unarmored): Janis, a moment? [1/16/2014 7:31:14 PM] Kali: Raven: I have all the things I need here. [1/16/2014 7:31:19 PM] Janis: ...sure. [1/16/2014 7:31:25 PM] Janis: Janis leaves with Wynn [1/16/2014 7:31:31 PM] Wynn (unarmored): ((not leaving)) [1/16/2014 7:31:45 PM] Janis: ((Ok, nevermind that)) [1/16/2014 7:31:46 PM] Wynn (unarmored): ((just didn't want to talk across the room over the music :)  )) [1/16/2014 7:31:56 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) smiles. "Ah, that's good then." [1/16/2014 7:32:12 PM] Wynn (unarmored): What did you learn from Allys? Besides the sibling part, anyway. [1/16/2014 7:32:34 PM] Jhett: Jhett returns from the kitchen. [1/16/2014 7:32:44 PM | Removed 7:32:50 PM] Janis: This message has been removed. [1/16/2014 7:32:55 PM] Janis: Not much, actually. [1/16/2014 7:33:10 PM] Janis: Tarak said something to her about me that really hurt her. [1/16/2014 7:33:21 PM] Wynn (unarmored): About you? [1/16/2014 7:33:38 PM] Jhett: Jhett opens up his violin case and joins in with Kestrel's song. [1/16/2014 7:33:51 PM] Janis: Yeah.  I didn't get specifics, but apparently something happened a long time ago and Tarak was using me...sort of like how you feel around me, you know? [1/16/2014 7:33:57 PM] Janis: He was doing that, I think. [1/16/2014 7:34:00 PM] Kali: Raven, to Lira: Ahh, I wish I could play too! [1/16/2014 7:34:37 PM] Wynn (unarmored): .....using you? [1/16/2014 7:34:37 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) nods. "Perhaps you should attempt to purchase a new set of pipes... or if it truly is not the pipes...." [1/16/2014 7:34:40 PM] Wynn (unarmored): Wynn (unarmored) frowns. [1/16/2014 7:34:42 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) trails off uncertainly. [1/16/2014 7:35:10 PM] Janis: I'm sorry if I hurt him too bad...I just...I didn't like that. [1/16/2014 7:35:36 PM] Wynn (unarmored): No, I'm just trying to understand what you mean. [1/16/2014 7:35:57 PM] Wynn (unarmored): I mean... I try to protect you. I wouldn't call that using you. [1/16/2014 7:36:00 PM] Wynn (unarmored): .......do you? [1/16/2014 7:36:00 PM] Kali: Raven: It cannot be the pipes. I wish I could dance, too. [1/16/2014 7:36:11 PM] Janis: No, not how you act, how you feel. [1/16/2014 7:36:21 PM] Janis: He made her feel like that, I think. [1/16/2014 7:36:27 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) looks at Raven and gently prods him. "You were the one that suggested the party. How can you not dance?" [1/16/2014 7:36:55 PM] Kali: Raven, mournfully: My legs are all wrong for dancing now. [1/16/2014 7:37:08 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): All... wrong, how...? [1/16/2014 7:37:17 PM] Janis: Janis turns to Raven "You know, you could go to the forest and get wood for a new set [1/16/2014 7:37:24 PM] Janis: Maybe that would help. [1/16/2014 7:37:45 PM] Wynn (unarmored): Wynn (unarmored) frowns more and goes back to scrubbing. [1/16/2014 7:37:55 PM] Kali: Raven: The wrong shape. Look at them. [1/16/2014 7:38:00 PM] Kali: He points to his legs. [1/16/2014 7:38:00 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) looks. [1/16/2014 7:38:02 PM] Janis: Janis looks [1/16/2014 7:38:07 PM] Kali: Raven: And of course the one barely works at all. [1/16/2014 7:38:13 PM] Janis: ...what are you, Raven? [1/16/2014 7:38:14 PM] Kali: They look like normal dude legs to you. [1/16/2014 7:38:20 PM] Janis: ...you're not an elf. [1/16/2014 7:38:32 PM] Kali: Raven: Ah, but I *am* an elf, lady. [1/16/2014 7:38:45 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Your legs look normal to me... [1/16/2014 7:39:00 PM] Janis: ((Fuck, I know what he is, but I can't OOC it)) [1/16/2014 7:39:18 PM] Janis: ...then what do you mean, what's wrong with your legs? [1/16/2014 7:39:52 PM] Kali: Raven: They're on backwards! Well, not really, but they do feel like it it at times. And I hurt one in a great battle. [1/16/2014 7:40:14 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) frowns. "That is quite unfortunate." [1/16/2014 7:40:59 PM] Kali: Kestrel gets to the end of the song, finally, and turns to Jhett. "You begin this time; I will follow." [1/16/2014 7:41:15 PM] Janis: Raven, where in Meneluinin do you hail from? [1/16/2014 7:41:21 PM] Kali: Raven: The cane hardly seems adequate, does it? [1/16/2014 7:41:24 PM] Kali: Raven: What is Meneluinin? [1/16/2014 7:41:42 PM] Jhett: Jhett nods, and starts playing something, a lively folk tune. [1/16/2014 7:42:20 PM] Wynn (unarmored): ((I thought Men. was one country in the world, not necessarily the name of the world itself)) [1/16/2014 7:42:32 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) smiles at the change of song, her eyes on Janis. [1/16/2014 7:42:38 PM] Kali: Kestrel studies him for thirty seconds or so and then starts to play a very percussive accompaniment, periodically striking the body of the dulcimer lightly with the hammer to make a drumlike sound. [1/16/2014 7:42:42 PM | Edited 7:42:46 PM] Janis: ((22 SM on his "I am an elf" line)) [1/16/2014 7:43:13 PM] Janis: Where do you come from, Raven? [1/16/2014 7:44:05 PM] Kali: Raven: Home!

[1/16/2014 7:44:57 PM] Wynn (unarmored): Wynn (unarmored) starts polishing! [1/16/2014 7:44:59 PM] Kali: Raven: Is something wrong, lovely lady? [1/16/2014 7:45:13 PM] Janis: ....you haven't always been an elf, have you? [1/16/2014 7:45:21 PM] Janis: You don't talk like an elf. [1/16/2014 7:45:28 PM] Kali: Raven: How do elves talk? [1/16/2014 7:45:54 PM] Janis: ....differently...you're too...I don't know, but I know you haven't always been an elf. [1/16/2014 7:46:14 PM] Kali: Raven: One need not always be what one is to *be* what one is. [1/16/2014 7:46:31 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Indeed, let us not judge him for his elfiness. [1/16/2014 7:46:50 PM] Wynn (unarmored): Wynn (unarmored) raises an eyebrow at Lira, but keeps polishing. [1/16/2014 7:46:52 PM] Janis: I'm not, I'm judging him for his un-elfiness. [1/16/2014 7:47:05 PM] Kali: Raven: Is being an elf required? Are you an elf? [1/16/2014 7:47:26 PM] Janis: ........I'm not saying something is wrong with my legs. [1/16/2014 7:47:35 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) looks puzzled. [1/16/2014 7:47:47 PM] Janis: What do you mean they're on backwards? [1/16/2014 7:48:36 PM] Kali: Raven shrugs. "What difference does it make to you, my dear girl?" [1/16/2014 7:48:46 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) tries to sense Raven's motive. [1/16/2014 7:48:51 PM | Edited 7:48:54 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): ((21)) [1/16/2014 7:48:55 PM] Janis: I don't like secrets. [1/16/2014 7:49:05 PM] Janis: ((Janis apparently doesn't comprehend irony)) [1/16/2014 7:49:12 PM] Wynn (unarmored): :D [1/16/2014 7:49:38 PM] Kali: Raven: Well, well. It is no secret, but mortal people *do* get upset sometimes when one mentions it. [1/16/2014 7:49:55 PM] Janis: .......are you not mortal? [1/16/2014 7:50:01 PM] Wynn (unarmored): Wynn (unarmored) looks up. [1/16/2014 7:50:09 PM] Janis: ((He's Pan, isn't he?))

[1/16/2014 7:50:30 PM] Kali: Raven: I am an elf! At the moment. [1/16/2014 7:50:40 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) looks up sharply! [1/16/2014 7:50:42 PM] Kali: Raven: You ask far too many questions. [1/16/2014 7:50:55 PM] Wynn (unarmored): Wynn (unarmored) mumbles about people who are dishonest. [1/16/2014 7:51:04 PM] Kali: Raven: Now, you tell me a forest is here; kindly do point me in the right direction. [1/16/2014 7:51:11 PM] Janis: Janis smiles [1/16/2014 7:51:15 PM] Janis: I'll show you. [1/16/2014 7:51:18 PM] Janis: Janis stand up [1/16/2014 7:51:20 PM] Janis: Come on [1/16/2014 7:51:37 PM] Wynn (unarmored): Would you like company, Janis? [1/16/2014 7:51:46 PM] Janis: ....if you want. [1/16/2014 7:51:58 PM] Kali: Raven: No, no. That will not be necessary; I would prefer to be alone there. [1/16/2014 7:52:10 PM] Janis: Janis eyes him suspiciously [1/16/2014 7:52:20 PM] Janis: Well, let me show you the door, at least. [1/16/2014 7:52:24 PM] Wynn (unarmored): Wynn (unarmored) takes her shield, mace and rag and follows. "Then we can leave you when we show you the door." [1/16/2014 7:52:46 PM] Kali: Raven shrugs. "Perhaps I shall stay here, then." [1/16/2014 7:53:02 PM] Janis: ..................((Through gritted teeth)) Fine! [1/16/2014 7:53:04 PM] Wynn (unarmored): .......Do you fear me for some reason? [1/16/2014 7:53:14 PM] Kali: Kestrel and Jhett finish their second tune; Kestrel *almost* smiling. [1/16/2014 7:53:24 PM] Nilani: Nilani looks sadly at Raven [1/16/2014 7:53:26 PM] Kali: Raven: Should I? [1/16/2014 7:53:33 PM] Janis: Janis looks at Lira [1/16/2014 7:53:38 PM] Janis: What'cha doing? [1/16/2014 7:53:47 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) looks at Janis. "Making a longbow." [1/16/2014 7:53:52 PM] Wynn (unarmored): No, but the only thing that changed between you asking where the forest was and changing your mind was my offer to go with you. [1/16/2014 7:53:55 PM] Janis: Janis goes over and looks at it [1/16/2014 7:54:05 PM] Janis: ((Is it well crafted?)) [1/16/2014 7:54:41 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): ((It's *calculates* 9% done)) [1/16/2014 7:54:58 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): It'll take awhile to finish. [1/16/2014 7:54:58 PM] Kali: Raven: I had wanted to be alone, that was all. [1/16/2014 7:55:13 PM] Janis: Cool, I didn't know you knew how to use a bow. [1/16/2014 7:55:13 PM] Wynn (unarmored): Then I'll show you the door and leave you to your will. [1/16/2014 7:55:27 PM] Jhett: Jhett looks at Kes. "You lead again." [1/16/2014 7:55:28 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) smiles. "I am not as skilled as you are." [1/16/2014 7:56:01 PM] Kali: Kestrel nods, and starts to play again. This time it's a strange song, almost tuneless, until the tune becomes apparent about 45 seconds in. [1/16/2014 7:56:05 PM] Janis: Well, when you're done I could teach you. [1/16/2014 7:56:16 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) nods. "Sure!" [1/16/2014 7:56:35 PM] Kali: Raven: I shall simply return to my room. [1/16/2014 7:56:43 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) turns to Raven with a playful light in her eyes. "You never told me about your working theory about love." [1/16/2014 7:56:48 PM] Wynn (unarmored): Suit yourself. It is two doors down on the right. [1/16/2014 7:56:57 PM] Wynn (unarmored): Opposite the rooms. [1/16/2014 7:57:06 PM] Kali: Raven: Love cannot be told without music, lady. [1/16/2014 7:57:23 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) shrugs. "If you insist." [1/16/2014 7:57:35 PM] Kali: Raven: It would be quite impossible. [1/16/2014 7:57:39 PM] Janis: According to Tarak it can [1/16/2014 7:57:49 PM] Jhett: Jhett grins and joins in, doing some variations on the chaotic tune. [1/16/2014 7:57:49 PM] Janis: :D [1/16/2014 7:58:08 PM] Wynn (unarmored): Wynn (unarmored) raises an eyebrow at Lira again. [1/16/2014 7:58:22 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) looks at Wynn with a 'What?' look. [1/16/2014 7:58:31 PM] Kali: ((No fair, Tarak didn't talk about love *at all.*)) [1/16/2014 7:58:34 PM] Wynn (unarmored): Nothing. [1/16/2014 7:58:47 PM] Wynn (unarmored): Wynn (unarmored) sits down again, continuing to shine her shield. [1/16/2014 7:58:50 PM] Kali: ((Just sex. :) )) [1/16/2014 7:58:53 PM] Kali: Raven stands up, awkwardly, and grabs his cane from beside him, where it was leaning against the table, and limps awkwardly off, pausing to carefully turn and bow to everyone, with great politeness. [1/16/2014 7:59:02 PM] Nilani: Nilani holds up a gauntlet for Raven to read as he passes [1/16/2014 7:59:06 PM] Janis: ((Janis doesn't necessarily know the difference)) [1/16/2014 7:59:26 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) bids Raven a goodnight in Elven. [1/16/2014 7:59:42 PM] Wynn (unarmored): ((Lira workin' on a boy harem? lol)) [1/16/2014 7:59:54 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): ((Lol!)) [1/16/2014 8:00:04 PM] Kali: He says goodbye in return, in perfect elven. He does have kind of an odd accent, though. [1/16/2014 8:00:31 PM] Kali: Raven smiles to Nilani. "Ah, but if I caused you harm it is I should be sorry, lady." [1/16/2014 8:00:43 PM] Kali: He bows again to her, awkwardly, and heads off. [1/16/2014 8:01:01 PM] Janis: .........I need the bathroom, I'll be back. [1/16/2014 8:01:07 PM] Janis: Janis heads off [1/16/2014 8:01:26 PM] Nilani: Nilani wipes off the writing on her cloak. [1/16/2014 8:02:45 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) leans back, looking at her... fairly dismal progress. "Well, I don't think I'll be getting much more finished tonight. I'll have to keep at it." [1/16/2014 8:03:00 PM] Kali: Kestrel and Jhett finish that song too! [1/16/2014 8:03:05 PM] Wynn (unarmored): Is it *that* difficult to string a bow? [1/16/2014 8:03:18 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): I'm making a new bow, completely. [1/16/2014 8:03:40 PM] Wynn (unarmored): I was unaware that it took much effort. [1/16/2014 8:03:53 PM] Wynn (unarmored): Find a stick, find a string. [1/16/2014 8:04:52 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Perhaps for a crude bow... but I intend to make use of my craft for a long while. [1/16/2014 8:05:04 PM] Wynn (unarmored): Wynn (unarmored) shrugs. [1/16/2014 8:05:28 PM] Wynn (unarmored): Wynn (unarmored) turns the shield 180 degrees to polish the "bottom" [1/16/2014 8:05:44 PM] Wynn (unarmored): You mentioned something earlier. [1/16/2014 8:05:56 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Mm? [1/16/2014 8:06:02 PM] Wynn (unarmored): About interfering. [1/16/2014 8:06:15 PM] Wynn (unarmored): I was not trying to pick a fight. [1/16/2014 8:06:23 PM] Wynn (unarmored): I do not recall ever causing you ill will. [1/16/2014 8:06:35 PM] Jhett: Jhett looks at Kes. "I'll be right back." [1/16/2014 8:08:29 PM] Jhett: Jhett leaves the Liberry. [1/16/2014 8:08:37 PM] Wynn (unarmored): ((shudder)) [1/16/2014 8:09:05 PM] Kali: Kestrel nods. [1/16/2014 8:09:11 PM | Edited 8:09:23 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) frowns a little. "When I was trying to strike a deal, I remember. You probably did not intend to interfere. However, much as that is the case, I do similarly not intend to be bound by such conflicts of interest." [1/16/2014 8:09:47 PM] Wynn (unarmored): Could you at least refresh my memory? [1/16/2014 8:10:33 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): For the Law you just now wished, for example. Not to impart harm. And Janis did, with good reason. [1/16/2014 8:11:06 PM] Wynn (unarmored): There are better ways to handle things. [1/16/2014 8:11:26 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Do you sincerely wish to control all of us with your Laws? [1/16/2014 8:11:34 PM] Wynn (unarmored): A line must be drawn somewhere. [1/16/2014 8:11:41 PM] Wynn (unarmored): Control all of you? [1/16/2014 8:11:52 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Control, so you can.... [1/16/2014 8:11:56 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) 's visage darkens. [1/16/2014 8:12:04 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) looks like she's in physical pain. [1/16/2014 8:12:07 PM] Kali: Kestrel stares down at her musical instrument awkwardly! [1/16/2014 8:12:24 PM] Wynn (unarmored): I don't want to "control" anyone. [1/16/2014 8:13:13 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) doesn't hear Wynn, or it doesn't register fully. "That... vermin. He could suffer for a thousand lifetimes!" [1/16/2014 8:13:40 PM] Wynn (unarmored): Wynn (unarmored) frowns. [1/16/2014 8:13:52 PM] Wynn (unarmored): Do you confuse me for someone else? [1/16/2014 8:14:25 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) returns to the present. "No. You are Wynn, defender of Law, although for what reasons are beyond me." [1/16/2014 8:14:47 PM] Wynn (unarmored): Wynn (unarmored) frowns deeper. [1/16/2014 8:15:02 PM] Wynn (unarmored): Laws... prevent bad things from happening. [1/16/2014 8:15:20 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Do they? Locks only keep the honest man out. [1/16/2014 8:15:30 PM] Wynn (unarmored): Some people need more, some fewer, but some are universal. [1/16/2014 8:15:47 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) shakes, her knuckles turning white. [1/16/2014 8:15:59 PM] Wynn (unarmored): Would you really object to a law against murdering our fellow crewmembers? [1/16/2014 8:16:06 PM] Wynn (unarmored): Or stealing from one another?

[1/16/2014 9:11:15 PM] Nilani: ~I believe the last time someone murdered one of our group, the reward was... a large favor and a great secret?
