[12/7/2013 4:06:15 PM] Nation: Okay. [12/7/2013 4:06:48 PM] Nation: Everyone go ahead and roll a d20 for me. [12/7/2013 4:07:26 PM] Nation: The last thing you remember, you were going about your business. Maybe you were fighting, or sleeping, or drinking, or hunting, or just sitting around not being abducted. Well, not anymore. One minute you were living your life, the next... darkness. [12/7/2013 4:09:54 PM] Nation: Suddenly, light. Well, really really dim light. And really really stale air. The blackness in front of you seems to open up, revealing a room dimly lit by faint green light. Lirasian Ares is the first to awaken. [12/7/2013 4:10:58 PM] Lirasian Ares (Wizard): Lirasian Ares (Wizard) sits up, trying to remember how she got here without any luck. As quietly as possible, she takes a look around. [12/7/2013 4:12:51 PM | Edited 4:13:36 PM] Nation: She finds herself standing in a black metal cylinder that has just opened up before her. Across from where her pod is, she sees more pods, also opening, revealing semi-conscious occupants standing there. Kestrel wakes up next. [12/7/2013 4:13:43 PM] Kestrel: Kestrel stays perfectly still, just where she is, and feigns sleep. [12/7/2013 4:14:01 PM] Nation: Kalor awakens next. [12/7/2013 4:15:15 PM] Kestrel: Kestrel is apparently a tall human woman with very pale skin and dark hair in a needlessly-ornate, odd-looking updo. She's wearing a very plain outfit in black--black coat, black trousers, black boots, black gloves. [12/7/2013 4:15:37 PM] Kalor: He looks at the pod that surrounds him, and attempts to recall what he learned of powerful conjuration magic while studying at the libraries of Delvingdeep [12/7/2013 4:18:09 PM] Nation: A malnourished Elf wakes up next. [12/7/2013 4:18:16 PM] A Malnourished Elf (kinda shady, maybe a rogue): A Malnourished Elf (kinda shady, maybe a rogue) opens her eyes and looks at the ceiling for a bit, then closes them again.

[12/7/2013 4:18:57 PM] A Malnourished Elf (kinda shady, maybe a rogue): A Malnourished Elf (kinda shady, maybe a rogue) moves a bit further back into her cylinder. [12/7/2013 4:19:38 PM] Nation: Okay. [12/7/2013 4:20:08 PM] Nation: Janis wakes up next. [12/7/2013 4:20:32 PM] Janis: Janis wakes up, looks around and draws her bow. [12/7/2013 4:20:43 PM | Edited 4:20:52 PM] Janis: Janis exits the tube slowly and carefully. [12/7/2013 4:20:55 PM] Nation: Kind of tricky in the cylinder, but she can draw it. [12/7/2013 4:21:28 PM] Janis: ((Do I see any of the others out there?)) [12/7/2013 4:21:31 PM] Nation: You guys notice that you still have whatever gear you had on you that you had before everything went dark. [12/7/2013 4:21:37 PM] A Malnourished Elf (kinda shady, maybe a rogue): A Malnourished Elf (kinda shady, maybe a rogue) inches out, testing the floor before putting her full weight upon it. [12/7/2013 4:21:42 PM] Nation: Yes, you're all waking up in the same area. [12/7/2013 4:21:45 PM] Kalor: "I must've been drinking pretty hard last night. Hello?" He asks the room. [12/7/2013 4:21:55 PM] Nation: The floor is made of cold, dull metal. [12/7/2013 4:22:03 PM] Janis: Janis aims her bow at the group and draws back an arrow [12/7/2013 4:22:12 PM] Janis: Hold it right there! [12/7/2013 4:22:12 PM] Nation: Wynn wakes up. [12/7/2013 4:22:17 PM] A Malnourished Elf (kinda shady, maybe a rogue): A Malnourished Elf (kinda shady, maybe a rogue) jumps back into her pod, crouches down to present less of a target, and shields her face with her gauntlets. [12/7/2013 4:22:29 PM] Wynn, Paladin (Jennifer): Wynn, Paladin (Jennifer) opens her eyes, sees the bow, and casts Detect Evil towards as many of the people and pods as she can. [12/7/2013 4:22:53 PM] Janis: Kidnapping an official bounty hunter is a...uh...federal offense. Take me back right now and I will be lenient on you! [12/7/2013 4:23:14 PM] Nation: You guys can all describe yourselves to each other at this point. [12/7/2013 4:23:19 PM] Kalor: "Easy there, friend. Are you the one that brought me here? Surely there's been some kind of misunderstanding." He tells the bow-wielding figure. [12/7/2013 4:24:05 PM] A Malnourished Elf (kinda shady, maybe a rogue): A Malnourished Elf (kinda shady, maybe a rogue) gestures wildly at everyone, then looks exasperated and folds her arms. [12/7/2013 4:24:09 PM] Janis: Janis is an 11-year-old girl wearing a green bandana around her head, with long tangles of messy brown curls coming out. [12/7/2013 4:25:14 PM] Kalor: Kalor is a fairly tall human of slight build, but with a tendency towards rotundness. He has dark chestnut colored hair, and eyes with deep green almost luminous pupils. In the dim light it may be difficult to see but his skin looks rather pale. [12/7/2013 4:25:29 PM | Edited 4:25:40 PM] Lirasian Ares (Wizard): Lirasian Ares (Wizard) is a pretty typical elf, wearing her patrol outfit, her hair is a rusty blonde - her eyes are a light blue, and her skin is fair. [12/7/2013 4:26:20 PM] Wynn, Paladin: Wynn, Paladin is dressed head to toe in armor, with a full helmet on. It is unclear what race or sex. [12/7/2013 4:27:15 PM] Wynn, Paladin: Wynn, Paladin steps out and holds up her hands. [12/7/2013 4:27:26 PM] Wynn, Paladin: Hold, there. [12/7/2013 4:27:49 PM] Janis: Janis holds her bow steady. [12/7/2013 4:28:04 PM] Wynn, Paladin: Come, child. There is no need to fire upon those you do not know. [12/7/2013 4:28:24 PM] A Malnourished Elf (kinda shady, maybe a rogue): A Malnourished Elf (kinda shady, maybe a rogue) is a rather startled looking elf, wearing a dark outfit, with a bandolier, belt and cloak wrapped around her, with amber eyes and light ash-brown hair pulled away from her face, except for a portion which hangs in front of one eye. [12/7/2013 4:28:38 PM] Janis: I am not a child. I'm 11, which is almost thirteen, and that's almost full grown! [12/7/2013 4:28:47 PM] Wynn, Paladin: Wynn, Paladin has a young, female voice. [12/7/2013 4:29:04 PM] Wynn, Paladin: Indeed it is. [12/7/2013 4:29:09 PM] Janis: And I only intend to fire on some low-down, no good, dirty kidnappers. [12/7/2013 4:29:10 PM] A Malnourished Elf (kinda shady, maybe a rogue): A Malnourished Elf (kinda shady, maybe a rogue) tries to creep out, again, looking for an exit to this room. [12/7/2013 4:29:26 PM] Janis: ((Can I roll to see her?)) [12/7/2013 4:29:35 PM] Nation: Everyone roll notice. [12/7/2013 4:29:38 PM] Wynn, Paladin: And when we find them, I shall assist. However, I think it is safe to say none of us are those kidnappers. [12/7/2013 4:30:00 PM] Kalor: "You said you were a bounty hunter, I was not aware of any price on my head." Kalor shakes hs head and tries to focus. "Unless I did something I'm really going to regret last night, the last thing I remember was drinking." He shrugs "Sausages may also have been involved." [12/7/2013 4:30:18 PM] Lirasian Ares (Wizard): Lirasian Ares (Wizard) steps out of her cylinder, feeling for her pouches and her spellbook, as well as checking the rest of her gear. [12/7/2013 4:30:37 PM] Janis: I was chasing a very dangerous thief when you lot abducted me. [12/7/2013 4:30:52 PM] Lirasian Ares (Wizard): Why would a kidnapper leave you your weapons? [12/7/2013 4:31:04 PM] Janis: ...maybe you're really bad kidnappers...? [12/7/2013 4:31:05 PM] Nation: Pretty much everyone notices that this room is pretty full of still-closed pods. [12/7/2013 4:31:25 PM] Kalor: *Pats his robes, looking for his spellbook* [12/7/2013 4:31:27 PM] Janis: Janis, beginning to doubt herself, lowers her bow [12/7/2013 4:31:32 PM] Wynn, Paladin: Wynn, Paladin checks for her mace and shield, then removes her helm revealing a human girl in her late teens. [12/7/2013 4:31:53 PM] Janis: ...wow, you're big for a girl. [12/7/2013 4:31:58 PM] Nation: This seems to be a massive room, with a twenty foot-ceiling, with bunches of pods arranged into aisles. [12/7/2013 4:32:11 PM] Wynn, Paladin: The armor adds a few inches. [12/7/2013 4:32:27 PM] Nation: You're not sure where the dim green glow is coming from:  It doesn't seem to have a source. [12/7/2013 4:32:51 PM] A Malnourished Elf (kinda shady, maybe a rogue): A Malnourished Elf (kinda shady, maybe a rogue) runs her hand over the pouches of her belt and bandolier. [12/7/2013 4:33:27 PM] Wynn, Paladin: Wynn, Paladin moves to Janis. [12/7/2013 4:34:07 PM] Wynn, Paladin: Wynn, Paladin holds out hand. [12/7/2013 4:34:14 PM] Kalor: "If none of you are keen on attacking me, I would like to attempt a more thorough look at our surroundings." He holds out his hands and steps out of the pod. "Allow me to cast a quick detection spell to see where this energy is coming from." *Casts detect magic* [12/7/2013 4:34:17 PM] Wynn, Paladin: I am Wynn. [12/7/2013 4:34:36 PM] Janis: Janis eyes the hand carefully and then grabs and shakes it. [12/7/2013 4:34:42 PM] Janis: Name's Janis [12/7/2013 4:35:06 PM] Wynn, Paladin: Glad to meet you, Janis. Now, shall we assist in the attempts to discover our whereabouts? [12/7/2013 4:35:22 PM] Janis: Only if we find out where we are first. [12/7/2013 4:35:38 PM] Wynn, Paladin: Wynn, Paladin places shield on her arm and checks to ensure her mace is at her hip, javelins on her back. [12/7/2013 4:35:41 PM] Lirasian Ares (Wizard): I'll try looking for an exit. [12/7/2013 4:35:55 PM] Lirasian Ares (Wizard): Lirasian Ares (Wizard) searches around for a door or stairs or something that isn't pods in aisles. [12/7/2013 4:36:31 PM] Nation: You don't see any outer walls, you'll have to travel from this area. [12/7/2013 4:36:49 PM] A Malnourished Elf (kinda shady, maybe a rogue): A Malnourished Elf (kinda shady, maybe a rogue) sees her companions seem not to be TOO unfriendly, and holds out a scrap of paper, which reads: Nilani Adjarin                                                         Infiltrator-Retriever of lost items- Good Listener [12/7/2013 4:37:25 PM] Janis: ...why don't you talk? [12/7/2013 4:38:11 PM] Nilani Adjarin: Nilani Adjarin moves hands wierdly, looks exasperated, then resumes checking her gear. [12/7/2013 4:38:37 PM] Janis: ...someone cut your tongue out? [12/7/2013 4:38:54 PM] Nilani Adjarin: Nilani Adjarin looks up, shakes head [12/7/2013 4:39:05 PM] Janis: Oh, that's good, I guess. [12/7/2013 4:39:21 PM] Nation: Roll notice. [12/7/2013 4:39:37 PM] Kestrel: Kestrel opens her eyes and steps out of her pod silently. [12/7/2013 4:39:51 PM] Janis: ((Wynn was very interested in the ground, apparently)) [12/7/2013 4:40:26 PM] Kalor: "This room is full of magic" He says, to noone in particular. "Especially the pods" [12/7/2013 4:40:47 PM] Janis: ...you think there's more people in them? [12/7/2013 4:40:53 PM] Nilani Adjarin: Nilani Adjarin edges away from the nearest pod. [12/7/2013 4:41:31 PM] Kestrel: ((Anyone here from Meneluinin should probably PM me. :) )) [12/7/2013 4:41:46 PM] Kestrel: Likely. [12/7/2013 4:42:00 PM] Janis: Should we open them up? [12/7/2013 4:42:12 PM] Kestrel: It could harm them. [12/7/2013 4:42:22 PM] Nilani Adjarin: Nilani Adjarin edges even further away from the nearest pod. [12/7/2013 4:42:35 PM] Wynn, Paladin: They could harm us. [12/7/2013 4:42:47 PM] Kestrel: Not if they remain in the pods. [12/7/2013 4:42:52 PM] Janis: Janis nods but keeps looking at the pods. [12/7/2013 4:42:53 PM] Wynn, Paladin: Not that I think they could act swiftly enough once awakened. [12/7/2013 4:43:11 PM] Janis: I did.  I had my bow out afore you even noticed me. [12/7/2013 4:43:11 PM] Nation: The front of the pods have no seams that you can see. [12/7/2013 4:43:22 PM] Nilani Adjarin: Nilani Adjarin quits edging away from the pods, and starts shuffling hurriedly away. [12/7/2013 4:43:40 PM] Janis: ((To Nilani)) What's wrong? [12/7/2013 4:43:58 PM] Janis: You afraid of magic? [12/7/2013 4:44:56 PM] Nilani Adjarin: Nilani Adjarin shakes her head, points at the pods, puts her hands on head and makes a motion similar to one someone would make if snapping her neck. [12/7/2013 4:45:08 PM] Nilani Adjarin: Nilani Adjarin shivers. [12/7/2013 4:45:21 PM] Wynn, Paladin: Wynn, Paladin casts detect evil at the pod closest to where she pointed. [12/7/2013 4:45:52 PM] Kestrel: We're not killing them. [12/7/2013 4:46:14 PM] Kalor: "These pods seem to be under a variant of Otiluke's later stasis enchantments. I am unsure wether opening the pod would break it, but it should only kill them if they are already dying when they were put in there." [12/7/2013 4:46:26 PM] Nilani Adjarin: Nilani Adjarin nods, points at the pod, points at herself, then repeats the motion. [12/7/2013 4:46:40 PM] Janis: ...Oti-what? [12/7/2013 4:46:46 PM] Kestrel: We're not letting them kill us. [12/7/2013 4:47:03 PM] Nation: Keep in mind that the pods don't appear to open at all. No seams. They just look like black cylinders. [12/7/2013 4:47:04 PM] Wynn, Paladin: Indeed not. On both counts. [12/7/2013 4:47:19 PM] Kalor: A spell that halts the passage of time for its target, or stops all life processes in his body. [12/7/2013 4:47:26 PM] Janis: I don't see how we could open them anyway. They look weird. [12/7/2013 4:47:34 PM] Wynn, Paladin: I sense no evil from the pods. Is it possible that we are the only ones here? [12/7/2013 4:47:53 PM] Wynn, Paladin: (cylinders, not pods) [12/7/2013 4:47:55 PM | Edited 4:48:05 PM] Nation: One of them, the one you were looking at, opens! [12/7/2013 4:47:55 PM] Lirasian Ares (Wizard): We don't even know where 'here' is. [12/7/2013 4:48:13 PM] Nilani Adjarin: Nilani Adjarin looks visibly relieved, but is still wary [12/7/2013 4:48:13 PM] Kestrel: They may be lined in lead. [12/7/2013 4:48:14 PM] Janis: Janis quickly draws her bow and aims it at the pod. [12/7/2013 4:48:16 PM] Nation: Graaver wakes up. [12/7/2013 4:48:31 PM] Lirasian Ares (Wizard): Woah there... Janis, was it...? [12/7/2013 4:48:39 PM] Kalor: They are probably triggered remotely, or by a predetermined time, such things are not unheard of for the sealing of dangerous beings. Um, none of you are a dangerous being, are they? It can be so hard to tell sometimes. [12/7/2013 4:48:53 PM] Graaver, monk(Garrett): Graaver, monk(Garrett) backs against a wall, let's everyone do their thing. [12/7/2013 4:48:53 PM] Kestrel: Kestrel slips back behind one of the other pods, wordlessly. [12/7/2013 4:49:07 PM] Wynn, Paladin: Wynn, Paladin steps in front of Janis and draws her mace. [12/7/2013 4:49:14 PM] Nation: Graaver wakes up in a cylinder that has just opened onto a group of people staring at him. [12/7/2013 4:49:34 PM] Graaver, monk(Garrett): Graaver, monk(Garrett) stays in the cylinder, looks at everyone. [12/7/2013 4:49:49 PM] Janis: ...he doesn't look like a guy who snaps necks... [12/7/2013 4:50:01 PM] Wynn, Paladin: Wynn, Paladin relaxes visibly. [12/7/2013 4:50:54 PM] Nation: Describe yourself, Graaver. [12/7/2013 4:51:13 PM] Kalor: I don't look like a guy that snaps necks either, right? He looks worriedly at the others. [12/7/2013 4:51:21 PM] Graaver, monk(Garrett): Graaver, monk(Garrett) Poor monk, unarmed and unadorned except for simple clothes and a sling at the belt. [12/7/2013 4:51:49 PM] Graaver, monk(Garrett): Hello everyone... [12/7/2013 4:52:00 PM] Janis: Janis puts the bow down. [12/7/2013 4:52:16 PM] Lirasian Ares (Wizard): Lirasian Ares (Wizard) holds out her hands as a gesture of exasperation and peacemaking. [12/7/2013 4:52:18 PM] Kalor: Greetings my good fellow, my name is Kalor, who might you be? He extends his hand towards the monk. [12/7/2013 4:52:25 PM] Kestrel: Kestrel answers Kalor. "No." [12/7/2013 4:52:33 PM] Graaver, monk(Garrett): I'm Graaver. Good to meet you Kalor. [12/7/2013 4:52:44 PM] Graaver, monk(Garrett): Do you know what's happening? [12/7/2013 4:53:10 PM] Janis: Well, I was hunting a thief through the woods when suddenly, BAM! [12/7/2013 4:53:23 PM] Janis: It was very dark and then I woke up in one of these black things. [12/7/2013 4:53:35 PM] Kalor: I am afraid that I do not, one moment I was well into my third cup at the drowned monkey, and the next I was crawling out of this infernal tube. [12/7/2013 4:53:38 PM] Graaver, monk(Garrett): Graaver, monk(Garrett) Graaver has blue eyes, very short brown hair, pretty average but muscular build. [12/7/2013 4:53:43 PM] Kestrel: Kestrel frowns. [12/7/2013 4:54:00 PM] Wynn, Paladin: Wynn, Paladin holsters her mace and picks up her helmet. [12/7/2013 4:54:02 PM] Lirasian Ares (Wizard): The blackness is the last thing I remember... before that, I was on patrol. [12/7/2013 4:54:06 PM] Graaver, monk(Garrett): Hm. Do you know any of these other people Kalor? [12/7/2013 4:54:07 PM] Janis: And then, I was all ready to attack, cause I am very dangerous and fierce and stuff, but they seem ok, and then you woke up. [12/7/2013 4:54:21 PM] Kalor: Or it might have been my fifth... It gets sort of difficult to count after the second of the house's finest. [12/7/2013 4:54:27 PM] Wynn, Paladin: Wynn, Paladin struggles to hide a grin. [12/7/2013 4:54:55 PM] Janis: ((To Kalor)) Finest what? [12/7/2013 4:55:03 PM] Graaver, monk(Garrett): Graaver, monk(Garrett) looks at janis, being very serious to humor her. [12/7/2013 4:55:31 PM] Nilani Adjarin: Nilani Adjarin pales, then frantically runs her hands behind her back, then jams them into various places in her armor, including both her boots, and sections of her chest armor. She then sits down and folds her arms grumpily. her eyes then brighten for a bit, but she scowls to conceal it. [12/7/2013 4:55:47 PM] Kalor: Well, they call the liquid "Grog", but it is mostly fermented beans and home brewed alcohol, in my experience. [12/7/2013 4:56:02 PM] Janis: Oh...ok... [12/7/2013 4:56:03 PM] Kestrel: Intoxicants. [12/7/2013 4:56:10 PM] Kalor: Or that might have been the potion. [12/7/2013 4:56:17 PM] Janis: Janis looks over at Nilani. [12/7/2013 4:56:18 PM] Lirasian Ares (Wizard): Lirasian Ares (Wizard) pinches herself. [12/7/2013 4:56:27 PM] Janis: You lose something? [12/7/2013 4:56:39 PM] Kalor: One should never drink at the drowned monkey without first purchasing a potion of ironguts. [12/7/2013 4:56:39 PM] Nilani Adjarin: Nilani Adjarin shrugs. [12/7/2013 4:56:52 PM] Nilani Adjarin: Nilani Adjarin gets up and looks for an exit. [12/7/2013 4:57:07 PM] Janis: ...((To the others)) she's really weird. [12/7/2013 4:57:26 PM] Lirasian Ares (Wizard): A vow of silence is not very weird. [12/7/2013 4:57:31 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Okay, I skipped a couple hours of info, but I'm here and ready. [12/7/2013 4:57:48 PM] Nilani Adjarin: Nilani Adjarin begins to whirl around, then stops and resumes walking. [12/7/2013 4:57:50 PM] Janis: ((Don't worry, you didn't miss much)) [12/7/2013 4:57:55 PM] Kalor: This room is quite extraordinary, aside from the chambers, or pods I might call them, the air itself seems to have been enspelled with a low level light spell. [12/7/2013 4:58:22 PM] Graaver, monk(Garrett): Graaver, monk(Garrett) wanders around, looking for any sort of door or window. [12/7/2013 4:58:37 PM] Kestrel: I would not like to be silent. [12/7/2013 4:58:48 PM] Nation: You can't see an outer wall from where you are, just rows of cylinders. Another of which opens up as you speak. [12/7/2013 4:58:51 PM] Nation: Larry wakes up. [12/7/2013 4:58:55 PM] Wynn, Paladin: It would make things... difficult. [12/7/2013 4:59:06 PM] Graaver, monk(Garrett): Graaver, monk(Garrett) goes to the newcomer, helps him form his pod [12/7/2013 4:59:16 PM] Janis: Janis jumps slightly as the pod opens, but doesn't draw her bow this time [12/7/2013 4:59:19 PM] Graaver, monk(Garrett): Hello friend, I'm Graaver. [12/7/2013 4:59:42 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Thank you, Graaver! What happened? Do you have any idea where you are? [12/7/2013 4:59:48 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): er, we are? [12/7/2013 4:59:49 PM] Kalor: Mmmm... Indeed, I would probably not have the mental fortitude to keep silent for that amount of time, and I wrestle the very bonds of reality on a normal afternoon. [12/7/2013 4:59:55 PM] Nilani Adjarin: Nilani Adjarin looks over concernedly, but sees he has enough help. [12/7/2013 4:59:56 PM] Graaver, monk(Garrett): I don't know, it looks like we've all been kidnapped and brought here. [12/7/2013 5:00:06 PM] Janis: I do! We're in a big black room! [12/7/2013 5:00:16 PM] Kalor: Yes, but deliberately or accidentally? [12/7/2013 5:00:32 PM] Graaver, monk(Garrett): Yes Janis. You're a very keen ranger. [12/7/2013 5:00:35 PM] Janis: I don't see how you accidentally end up in a big black thingy. [12/7/2013 5:00:42 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Larry, Cleric (Adam) looks at Janis. [12/7/2013 5:00:44 PM] Kalor: Very simple. [12/7/2013 5:00:46 PM] Lirasian Ares (Wizard): Seems like an awful lot of magic was put into this room. I doubt it was accidental. [12/7/2013 5:00:52 PM] Kestrel: Most spells require speech. [12/7/2013 5:01:07 PM] Nation: ((Since we got a couple new folks, you guys can describe yourself again for them. :) )) [12/7/2013 5:01:41 PM] Janis: Janis 11-years-old, mostly green-foresty clothing including a green bandana that covers up her ears, long brown hair. [12/7/2013 5:01:56 PM] Kalor: There are multiple courses of events that might have led us to this room, say, golems with nonspecific instructions, seeking magic with no bodily component from the exact creature desired... Other things. [12/7/2013 5:02:08 PM] Wynn, Paladin: Wynn, Paladin is tall for her age/sex/race, in full armor. She holds a shield with a religious symbol and her helmet. Light brown hair in a low ponytail. [12/7/2013 5:02:09 PM] Graaver, monk(Garrett): Graaver, monk(Garrett) Average but muscular build, simple shirt and pants, young, blue eyes, short brown hair. [12/7/2013 5:02:16 PM | Edited 5:02:23 PM] Janis: Then why don't we remember no golems? [12/7/2013 5:02:42 PM] Kalor: Kalor is a fairly tall human of slight build, but with a tendency towards rotundness. He has dark chestnut colored hair, and eyes with deep green almost luminous pupils. In the dim light it may be difficult to see but his skin looks rather pale. [12/7/2013 5:03:06 PM] Kalor: Because obviously, they would have had to render us unconscious in some manner. [12/7/2013 5:03:12 PM] Lirasian Ares (Wizard): Lirasian Ares (Wizard) looks like a pretty typical elf, wearing a simple patrol outfit, her hair is a rusty brown, her eyes are green, her skin is fair, and she has a spell component pouch, a shortbow, a quiver, a spellbook, and a quarterstaff. [12/7/2013 5:03:33 PM] Kestrel: Kestrel is a tallish human woman with very pale skin and very dark hair, worn in a needlessly-ornate, odd-looking updo that slightly resembles a couple of unusual pastries set on top her head. She's wearing a very plain outfit in black, with a black coat, trousers, boots and gloves. She's also carrying a largish black bag up against her back, and a rapier at her side. ((Anyone from Meneluinin will recognize the outfit, probably.)) [12/7/2013 5:03:49 PM] Nilani Adjarin: Nilani Adjarin is an elf with light ash-brown hair, amber eyes, and darkish leather armor. [12/7/2013 5:03:59 PM] Wynn, Paladin: Perhaps we should move in one direction together to see if we can find an end to this cavern. [12/7/2013 5:04:06 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Regardless of how we came to be here, it's a pleasure to meet you all. [12/7/2013 5:04:22 PM] Graaver (Monk): I agree with Wynn. Standing around doesn't accomplish much. [12/7/2013 5:04:32 PM] Janis: Janis nods. [12/7/2013 5:04:55 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Larry, Cleric (Adam) is a slightly short, pudgy young man, with curly blonde hair and friendly, if slightly dull, green eyes. [12/7/2013 5:05:00 PM] Wynn, Paladin: Wynn, Paladin readies her mace again. [12/7/2013 5:05:45 PM] Kalor: I knew I should have memorized a light spell. Oh well, I hope the pervading enchantment in this room continues into adjacent structures. [12/7/2013 5:05:52 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Larry, Cleric (Adam) is carrying a mace, buckler, with a sling and a spell pouch on his belt, a holy symbol of Pelor around his neck, and a chain shirt. [12/7/2013 5:06:09 PM] Lirasian Ares (Wizard): Would you like a Light spell? I can cast one for you. [12/7/2013 5:06:24 PM] Nilani Adjarin: Nilani Adjarin puts a hand on her rapier's grip, ready to draw it if she meets any nasties. [12/7/2013 5:06:49 PM] Wynn, Paladin: Does anyone have a preferred direction? [12/7/2013 5:07:03 PM] Graaver (Monk): No. I don't think it really matters which way until we find something. [12/7/2013 5:07:05 PM] Kalor: Ah, a fellow student of the Art. Good to see you. [12/7/2013 5:07:37 PM] Lirasian Ares (Wizard): Art? The stuff they do at Talon? That is not my study, I'm afraid. [12/7/2013 5:07:57 PM] Janis (Ranger): Janis (Ranger) starts to walk off in a direction [12/7/2013 5:07:58 PM] Wynn, Paladin: Wynn, Paladin nods and starts off in a random direction. [12/7/2013 5:08:03 PM] Kalor: No no no, not just any art, The Art. Magic. [12/7/2013 5:08:07 PM] Janis (Ranger): I choose this way, come on! [12/7/2013 5:08:15 PM] Kalor: As the elves call it. [12/7/2013 5:08:19 PM] Graaver (Monk): Graaver (Monk) shrugs at Wyn and follows Janis [12/7/2013 5:08:22 PM] Lirasian Ares (Wizard): We're letting the kid decide..? [12/7/2013 5:08:24 PM] Wynn, Paladin: Wynn, Paladin smiles and follows Janis, quickly coming up beside her. [12/7/2013 5:08:25 PM] Kestrel: Kestrel follows them. [12/7/2013 5:08:36 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Larry, Cleric (Adam) trots along. [12/7/2013 5:08:39 PM] Graaver (Monk): She's obviously an accomplished Ranger. They all have keen senses of direction. [12/7/2013 5:08:57 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): Nilani Adjarin (Rogue) notices she is straying a bit far from the group, and starts to run in the direction Janis leads. [12/7/2013 5:09:07 PM] Lirasian Ares (Wizard): Lirasian Ares (Wizard) gestures to Kalor. [12/7/2013 5:09:11 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): It seems the worst thing we could do at the moment is split up. I don't know about any of you, but I don't appear to have any food or water. [12/7/2013 5:09:15 PM] Lirasian Ares (Wizard): Come, let us follow, it's better than nothing. [12/7/2013 5:09:34 PM] Kalor: Follows the group but tries to stay close to the wall. [12/7/2013 5:09:42 PM] Lirasian Ares (Wizard): I always keep rations with me when I'm on patrol, but I doubt I have enough for everyone. [12/7/2013 5:09:59 PM] Kestrel: I don't have any. [12/7/2013 5:10:02 PM] Kestrel: Kestrel frowns. [12/7/2013 5:10:18 PM] Nation: With a Light spell, non-elves can see a bit better. Black metal below you, black ceiling about twent feet above you. You follow the aisle of black cylinders until you get to the wall! You reach it after about 200 feet. [12/7/2013 5:10:23 PM] Janis (Ranger): Janis (Ranger) feels her way around the nearest wall as she leads [12/7/2013 5:10:29 PM] Kalor: I lack provisions, unfortunately I was unprepared for the sudden abduction. [12/7/2013 5:10:46 PM] Janis (Ranger): Hm... [12/7/2013 5:10:48 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): Nilani Adjarin (Rogue) holds out three ration packs. [12/7/2013 5:10:50 PM] Wynn, Paladin: Yes. Who knew I would need rations whilst studying in a temple? [12/7/2013 5:11:09 PM] Janis (Ranger): Janis (Ranger) mutters to herself as she points back and forth between the two ways the wall goes [12/7/2013 5:11:14 PM] Wynn, Paladin: Well, Janis, what do you see? [12/7/2013 5:11:24 PM] Nation: You figure there are at least 200 other cylinders in this room. [12/7/2013 5:11:30 PM] Janis (Ranger): Eenie, meenie, miney... [12/7/2013 5:11:39 PM] Janis (Ranger): MOE! This way. [12/7/2013 5:11:43 PM] Janis (Ranger): Janis (Ranger) heads left [12/7/2013 5:11:45 PM] Kalor: *Accepts a ration pack* Thank you. [12/7/2013 5:11:46 PM] Wynn, Paladin: Always choose the path to the right when given the choice! [12/7/2013 5:11:49 PM] Graaver (Monk): Graaver (Monk) follows Janis. [12/7/2013 5:11:54 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): Nilani Adjarin (Rogue) facepalms, but follows. [12/7/2013 5:11:56 PM] Wynn, Paladin: Wynn, Paladin sighs and follows Janis. [12/7/2013 5:12:05 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Then we should endeavor to find something to eat. I appreciate your candor, Lirasian, but I wish not to take your provisions unless it becomes necessary. [12/7/2013 5:12:14 PM] Lirasian Ares (Wizard): Lirasian Ares (Wizard) nods in agreement. [12/7/2013 5:12:20 PM] Janis (Ranger): If we get to the forest, I can hunt something. [12/7/2013 5:12:23 PM] Lirasian Ares (Wizard): Lirasian Ares (Wizard) folllows the group. [12/7/2013 5:12:24 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Larry, Cleric (Adam) follows along. [12/7/2013 5:12:27 PM] Kestrel: Kestrel nods. [12/7/2013 5:12:31 PM] Graaver (Monk): I don't think we'll find a forest around here. [12/7/2013 5:12:35 PM] Wynn, Paladin: I do not think we'll stumble into forest from here. [12/7/2013 5:12:39 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): Nilani Adjarin (Rogue) stuff the ration packs back into their pocket. [12/7/2013 5:12:42 PM] Kalor: That is assuming a forest is indeed in the environs. [12/7/2013 5:12:49 PM] Kestrel: It seems unlikely. [12/7/2013 5:13:06 PM] Nation: ((Should remind you that you don't know that you're on a ship. As far as you know, you're in a building, or underground somewhere.)) [12/7/2013 5:13:25 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): Nilani Adjarin (Rogue) constantly makes a series of hand movements as the walks. (don't kill us, we're just passing through!) [12/7/2013 5:13:27 PM] Wynn, Paladin: I have never seen metal floors in the forest I grew up in, nor in the caves. [12/7/2013 5:13:46 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): ((did anyone learn dark elf silent?)) [12/7/2013 5:13:48 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Well, this place can only be so big and it's good to be with capable hunters. [12/7/2013 5:13:56 PM] Janis (Ranger): Well, I've never seen no metal house neither. [12/7/2013 5:14:19 PM] Wynn, Paladin: Fair point. [12/7/2013 5:14:26 PM] Janis (Ranger): ((Not me, I only know Elvish, Common and Gnome)) [12/7/2013 5:14:29 PM] Kalor: Metal housing tend to corrode in my homeland, we rely more on living coral for our structures. [12/7/2013 5:14:52 PM] Nation: You find, eventually, what seems to be a door. A weird, iris-style door.

[12/7/2013 5:15:17 PM] Graaver (Monk): (I'm assuming we dont' know it's a door) [12/7/2013 5:15:21 PM] Wynn, Paladin: Stand back, Janis. [12/7/2013 5:15:22 PM] Janis (Ranger): ((Wait, I've read Locke and Key, DON'T OPEN THAT DOOR!)) [12/7/2013 5:15:22 PM] Kestrel: ((Don't forget to watch your PMs; I've PMed a couple people with various bits of information, but no one's replied, so hopefully, you got it.)) [12/7/2013 5:15:28 PM] Kalor: *Taps on the wall next to the door* Open sesame. [12/7/2013 5:15:36 PM] Wynn, Paladin: Wynn, Paladin casts detect evil toward the 'door' [12/7/2013 5:15:45 PM] Janis (Ranger): Are you sure you should open that? [12/7/2013 5:15:52 PM] Nation: The door is not evil. And yes, watch PMs. [12/7/2013 5:16:02 PM] Graaver (Monk): What else will we do? We can either open it or go back the other way. [12/7/2013 5:16:19 PM] Janis (Ranger): Maybe there's a door that doesn't look like it wants to eat us. [12/7/2013 5:16:19 PM] Kestrel: Kestrel nods at Nilani. [12/7/2013 5:16:27 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Is this odd thing even a door? [12/7/2013 5:16:28 PM] Nation: You can see no mechanism for opening it, either, not at first glance. [12/7/2013 5:16:43 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): Nilani Adjarin (Rogue) looks startled for a bit, then smiles. [12/7/2013 5:17:04 PM] Janis (Ranger): ...what's so funny? [12/7/2013 5:17:14 PM] Kalor: I focus my detect magic spell on the door. Let me see... [12/7/2013 5:17:16 PM] Kestrel: Kestrel looks for a. traps, and b. an opening mechanism. [12/7/2013 5:17:27 PM] Nation: Roll Search for traps, rogues! [12/7/2013 5:17:46 PM] Kestrel: ((14.)) [12/7/2013 5:17:56 PM] Janis (Ranger): Janis (Ranger) draws out her bow again, just to be safe. [12/7/2013 5:18:29 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): ((28)) [12/7/2013 5:18:59 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): Nilani Adjarin (Rogue) looks visibly relieved. [12/7/2013 5:19:05 PM] Kestrel: Kestrel reaches out to touch the door. [12/7/2013 5:19:14 PM] Janis (Ranger): I think Nilani's saying there's no traps. [12/7/2013 5:19:30 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Nilani? Does the door appear to be rigged? [12/7/2013 5:19:57 PM] Kalor: The door is magical but I'm having difficulty deducing what kind of aura it gives off, give me a second... *Gazes intently at the door* [12/7/2013 5:20:04 PM] Lirasian Ares (Wizard): Lirasian Ares (Wizard) turns to Kalor. [12/7/2013 5:20:13 PM] Lirasian Ares (Wizard): My offer still stands. Can you see well enough? [12/7/2013 5:21:06 PM] Kestrel: Kestrel rests a hand on it, checking for heat or cold or vibrations. [12/7/2013 5:21:12 PM] Nation: It opens, iris-like. [12/7/2013 5:21:15 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): Nilani Adjarin (Rogue) looks frustrated, then makes a gesture that looks like it represents someone pressing a button, then shakes her head. [12/7/2013 5:21:31 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): Nilani Adjarin (Rogue) stops mid-gesture. [12/7/2013 5:21:32 PM] Graaver (Monk): Look at that. [12/7/2013 5:21:37 PM] Janis (Ranger): I think she's saying not to open the door. [12/7/2013 5:21:43 PM] Nation: Outside the door is another hallway, of completely different construction. [12/7/2013 5:21:46 PM] Kalor: It is an aura of medium strength, and it radiates divination magic. [12/7/2013 5:21:52 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): Nilani Adjarin (Rogue) shakes her head. [12/7/2013 5:21:53 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): I'm sorry, do you not speak? [12/7/2013 5:22:06 PM] Kalor: I think this door will only open for, specific people or objects. [12/7/2013 5:22:10 PM] Lirasian Ares (Wizard): I think she took some kind of vow of silence. [12/7/2013 5:22:12 PM] Janis (Ranger): Yeah, but she says she still has her tongue and everything. [12/7/2013 5:22:16 PM] Graaver (Monk): Graaver (Monk) walks through the door carefully and looks around. [12/7/2013 5:22:22 PM] Wynn, Paladin: Graaver, do you mind? May we toss one of your bullets through to be sure? [12/7/2013 5:22:26 PM] Wynn, Paladin: ... or you. [12/7/2013 5:22:39 PM] Kestrel: Kestrel follows him. [12/7/2013 5:22:49 PM] Kestrel: Not everyone speaks in the same way. [12/7/2013 5:22:54 PM] Janis (Ranger): Janis (Ranger), keeping her bow out, follows. [12/7/2013 5:23:10 PM] Wynn, Paladin: Wynn, Paladin follows, as close to the front as she can get. [12/7/2013 5:23:11 PM] Janis (Ranger): She don't speak elf either. I know that. [12/7/2013 5:23:12 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): Nilani Adjarin (Rogue) inches into the hallway. [12/7/2013 5:23:33 PM] Lirasian Ares (Wizard): Lirasian Ares (Wizard) follows the group, again. [12/7/2013 5:23:36 PM] Kalor: How dark is the hallway? [12/7/2013 5:23:43 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): That's fair. I was raised on Common, and have spent little time with those who do not also speak it, as such. [12/7/2013 5:23:44 PM] Graaver (Monk): (I think he's telling us) [12/7/2013 5:23:58 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Larry, Cleric (Adam) walks along. [12/7/2013 5:24:28 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): Nilani Adjarin (Rogue) continues signing, but changes the sequence. (See? We're trying to leave. Thank you for opening the door, if that was your doing.) [12/7/2013 5:24:42 PM] Nation: The hall out here has much fresher air, and is a bit brighter. There's deck grating beneath you made of burnished brass. The walls seem to be made out of some kind of carved rock? Maybe even some kind of coral. Under the grating, you can see all kinds of wires and cords and piping. The hall is about seven feet across, and seven feet high. The warm light comes from glowing domes set on the walls at regular intervals. [12/7/2013 5:25:05 PM] Kalor: As part of my studies, I learned a variety of languages to better understand differing magical texts. [12/7/2013 5:25:15 PM] Kestrel: Which? [12/7/2013 5:25:17 PM] Kalor: And are those... Rails? [12/7/2013 5:25:33 PM] Janis (Ranger): What're those glowing things? [12/7/2013 5:25:40 PM] Graaver (Monk): Why would there be rails under us? [12/7/2013 5:25:51 PM] Lirasian Ares (Wizard): Hmm.. [12/7/2013 5:25:55 PM] Nation: Everyone roll notice. [12/7/2013 5:26:08 PM] Kalor: Common, obviously. He says as he's peeking out through the door cautiously. But also Elven, Draconic, Aquan and Infernal. [12/7/2013 5:26:24 PM] Janis (Ranger): ((Unnat 20)) [12/7/2013 5:26:26 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): 12 [12/7/2013 5:26:37 PM] Nation: The hall also curves before and after you, so you can't see the end either way. [12/7/2013 5:26:39 PM] Graaver (Monk): ((Unnatural 20)) [12/7/2013 5:26:42 PM] Lirasian Ares (Wizard): ((nat 1)) [12/7/2013 5:26:53 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): ((26)) [12/7/2013 5:26:59 PM] Kestrel: Infernal. You can speak with devils. [12/7/2013 5:27:20 PM] Lirasian Ares (Wizard): Lirasian Ares (Wizard) tries to think on what she knows about planes. [12/7/2013 5:27:22 PM] Kestrel: Kestrel is busy peering at the wall, trying to tell if it's organic or not. [12/7/2013 5:27:26 PM] Wynn, Paladin: Wynn, Paladin stiffens as though brought out of a daydream. [12/7/2013 5:27:29 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Why would you wish to speak with devils, Kalor? [12/7/2013 5:27:34 PM] Janis (Ranger): Why would you wanna talk to Devils? [12/7/2013 5:28:06 PM] Nation: Kestrel, roll K: Nature. [12/7/2013 5:28:33 PM] Kalor: It is the second best language for really vile curses [12/7/2013 5:28:38 PM] Janis (Ranger): ((Why can't I roll K:N?)) [12/7/2013 5:28:47 PM] Kalor: Helps to relieve stress, I've found. [12/7/2013 5:28:53 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): Nilani Adjarin (Rogue) grins. [12/7/2013 5:28:56 PM] Nation: ((Kestrel specifically said she was looking at the wall to figure out what it was made of.)) [12/7/2013 5:29:04 PM] Janis (Ranger): ((Ah)) [12/7/2013 5:29:28 PM] Janis (Ranger): Janis (Ranger) investigates the glowing domes. [12/7/2013 5:30:09 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): Nilani Adjarin (Rogue) marks the pod room with a red chalk circle to the right of the door. [12/7/2013 5:30:15 PM] Kestrel: Kestrel starts walking forward, feet quiet on the grating. [12/7/2013 5:30:19 PM] Wynn, Paladin: Don't touch, Janis. Not until we know more. [12/7/2013 5:30:34 PM] Janis (Ranger): I'm just looking. [12/7/2013 5:30:36 PM] Nation: They're warm. The lightdomes, anyway. [12/7/2013 5:30:50 PM] Graaver (Monk): Graaver (Monk) follows a bit behind Kestrel, keeping the rest of the group in view if possible.

Kestrel keeps walkin'. [12/7/2013 5:40:58 PM] Janis (Ranger): Janis (Ranger) looks down the grate. [12/7/2013 5:41:06 PM] Janis (Ranger): What are all those snake-y things? [12/7/2013 5:41:10 PM] Kalor: I was examining a light globe up close, already rolled. [12/7/2013 5:41:35 PM] Wynn (helmed): Wynn (helmed) tries to stay in the front, but near Janis. Realizing the difficulty, she simply stays near Janis. [12/7/2013 5:41:37 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): ((Sorry, I'll try to keep to the proper fashions of converastion)) [12/7/2013 5:41:57 PM] Graaver (Monk): Graaver (Monk) still following Kestrel. [12/7/2013 5:42:09 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Larry, Cleric (Adam) still strolling along with the group. [12/7/2013 5:42:21 PM] Wynn (helmed): Come, Janis. Before we are left behind. [12/7/2013 5:42:40 PM] Janis (Ranger): Janis (Ranger) walks but keeps looking down. [12/7/2013 5:42:49 PM] Janis (Ranger): But, what are they? [12/7/2013 5:42:52 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): Nilani Adjarin (Rogue) runs to catch up with the others. [12/7/2013 5:43:13 PM] Lirasian Ares (Wizard): Lirasian Ares (Wizard) follows the group. [12/7/2013 5:43:15 PM] Wynn (helmed): I don't know. But they don't look like snakes to me. [12/7/2013 5:43:21 PM] Kalor: Runs to catch up with the group after examining the globe. [12/7/2013 5:43:30 PM] Janis (Ranger): They sort of look like rope...but not really. [12/7/2013 5:43:45 PM] Kalor: They seem more like cables, or pipes... Though to carry what I cannot guess. [12/7/2013 5:43:53 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): Nilani Adjarin (Rogue) intently stares at each of the features in turn as she walks. [12/7/2013 5:44:02 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Larry, Cleric (Adam) tests a grate no one is standing on to see if it comes up. [12/7/2013 5:44:16 PM] Nation: Yeah, it seems to be made to come up. [12/7/2013 5:44:24 PM] Kestrel: Water? [12/7/2013 5:44:42 PM] Graaver (Monk): What about water? [12/7/2013 5:44:43 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Very well, I'll tug on a cable. [12/7/2013 5:44:50 PM] Kalor: Bows down and touches one of the pipes. [12/7/2013 5:45:08 PM] Janis (Ranger): ((To Larry)) [12/7/2013 5:45:12 PM] Janis (Ranger): What are you doing? [12/7/2013 5:45:14 PM] Kestrel: It could potentially contain water. In which case there will be a dispenser or spigot somewhere. [12/7/2013 5:45:25 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): ((Or whatever they are. Sorry, the pattern of how to put this stuff in isn't quite clicking yet)) [12/7/2013 5:45:25 PM] Graaver (Monk): That's true. [12/7/2013 5:45:34 PM] Janis (Ranger): Maybe they're like some kind of vines. [12/7/2013 5:45:35 PM] Nation: The large pipe is cold to the touch. [12/7/2013 5:45:48 PM] Nation: Larry is tugging on one of the cables? [12/7/2013 5:46:20 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Larry, Cleric (Adam) is lightly tugging on one of the cables. [12/7/2013 5:46:29 PM] Nation: Roll Fort, Larry. [12/7/2013 5:46:50 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): (26) [12/7/2013 5:46:56 PM] Kalor: I could attempt to freeze the pipe, however doing so might not be pertinent until we know what function it actually performs. [12/7/2013 5:47:20 PM] Janis (Ranger): Maybe we can cut it open. [12/7/2013 5:47:20 PM] Kestrel: Kestrel frowns. [12/7/2013 5:47:21 PM] Nation: A surge of energy goes through your arm. A lesser man might be thrown back, but not Larry the Cleric. You ride the pain. [12/7/2013 5:47:26 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): (God, am I going to waste all my nat 20s in the first game?) [12/7/2013 5:47:34 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Larry, Cleric (Adam) drops the cable. [12/7/2013 5:47:45 PM] Graaver (Monk): What happened Larry? [12/7/2013 5:47:48 PM] Janis (Ranger): Everything ok, Larry? [12/7/2013 5:47:51 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): So, I would suggest not messing with the cables. Something powerful seems to run through them. [12/7/2013 5:48:01 PM] Janis (Ranger): ...not water then... [12/7/2013 5:48:03 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): Nilani Adjarin (Rogue) looks worriedly at Larry. [12/7/2013 5:48:18 PM] Wynn (helmed): Are you hurt, Larry? [12/7/2013 5:48:34 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Don't worry, friends Nilani and Wynn. I am fine, if a little surprised. [12/7/2013 5:48:51 PM] Wynn (helmed): Wynn (helmed) turns to Janis. [12/7/2013 5:48:59 PM] Wynn (helmed): As I said... Don't. Touch. [12/7/2013 5:49:11 PM] Kalor: *Looks at the cable with renewed interest* So the cables ferry energy of some kind, and they are not even properly isolated from their environment. [12/7/2013 5:49:15 PM] Janis (Ranger): Ok, fine. Sheesh. Just making some suggestions. [12/7/2013 5:49:25 PM] Graaver (Monk): I'm sure she wouldn't grab it right after seeing someone else be hurt Wynn. [12/7/2013 5:49:53 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): (Is anyone else touching things under the grate I lifted?) [12/7/2013 5:50:05 PM] Janis (Ranger): ((I'm not after that)) [12/7/2013 5:50:09 PM] Kestrel: Kestrel isn't. She crouches to get a closer look, though. [12/7/2013 5:50:25 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Watch your head, Kestrel. I think it would be best to replace this grate. [12/7/2013 5:50:38 PM] Janis (Ranger): Janis (Ranger), curious, takes a closer look at the coral-like walls. [12/7/2013 5:50:39 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Larry, Cleric (Adam) lowers the grate back into place. [12/7/2013 5:50:57 PM] Janis (Ranger): ((If I roll K:N, could I get some idea where the coral came from?)) [12/7/2013 5:51:03 PM] Nation: ((Try it.)) [12/7/2013 5:51:21 PM] Janis (Ranger): ((25)) [12/7/2013 5:51:25 PM] Lirasian Ares (Wizard): Lirasian Ares (Wizard) looks puzzled. [12/7/2013 5:51:34 PM] Kestrel: Kestrel watches. [12/7/2013 5:51:36 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): Nilani Adjarin (Rogue) fidgets. [12/7/2013 5:52:02 PM] Kestrel: Kestrel then stands back up and backs away. [12/7/2013 5:52:03 PM] Wynn (helmed): Wynn (helmed) keeps watch on the farthest part of the hall watching for any who may approach while everyone is looking at the grating. [12/7/2013 5:52:05 PM] Kalor: Ah, I see... The grates are most likely meant to isolate the cables from occupants. Curiouser and curiouser. [12/7/2013 5:52:14 PM] Kestrel: We keep going. [12/7/2013 5:52:26 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): Nilani Adjarin (Rogue) trudges on. [12/7/2013 5:52:27 PM] Kestrel: Kestrel starts walking again. [12/7/2013 5:52:37 PM] Janis (Ranger): Hey, guys, check out these walls. [12/7/2013 5:52:44 PM] Graaver (Monk): Graaver (Monk) goes over to Janis. [12/7/2013 5:52:48 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): What of them, Janis? [12/7/2013 5:52:56 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Larry, Cleric (Adam) walks over to where Janis is. [12/7/2013 5:52:59 PM] Janis (Ranger): I think they were grown here. The coral stuff, I mean. [12/7/2013 5:53:12 PM] Graaver (Monk): How does someone grow a wall? [12/7/2013 5:53:25 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): Nilani Adjarin (Rogue) spins on one foot to look thoughtfully at Janis. [12/7/2013 5:53:28 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Curious. [12/7/2013 5:53:48 PM] Janis (Ranger): I dunno. But the color and texture don't look like cut coral. And the shape don't look like something you could make with a knife or axe. [12/7/2013 5:54:00 PM] Lirasian Ares (Wizard): Perhaps it is magical? [12/7/2013 5:54:09 PM] Lirasian Ares (Wizard): Lirasian Ares (Wizard) looks at Kalor, since he seems very knowledgeable. [12/7/2013 5:54:24 PM] Kalor: These walls... They remind me of Delvingdeep, my home city. [12/7/2013 5:54:42 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): Nilani Adjarin (Rogue) squints at the coral. [12/7/2013 5:54:52 PM] Kestrel: Are there tubes there? [12/7/2013 5:55:05 PM] Kalor: This coral is purpose grown into place. Powerful magic is required for such a feat. [12/7/2013 5:55:24 PM] Janis (Ranger): Maybe that's what's being fed through the snake-things. [12/7/2013 5:55:30 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Interesting. [12/7/2013 5:55:31 PM] Lirasian Ares (Wizard): Magic for the cylinders, magic for the walls... [12/7/2013 5:55:52 PM] Wynn (helmed): Wynn (helmed) tightens her grip on her mace. [12/7/2013 5:55:56 PM] Kalor: The tubes probably ferry water to keep it alive, although the same magic that grew it into shape usually helps with such tasks. [12/7/2013 5:56:12 PM] Kestrel: Someone could be watching us. [12/7/2013 5:56:33 PM] Janis (Ranger): ...if we can break one of the pipes then, maybe we can take some of the water. [12/7/2013 5:56:34 PM] Graaver (Monk): Watching us from what? The walls are solid. [12/7/2013 5:56:34 PM] Kalor: I have even heard of armor grown from coral such as this, although even in my home city, such is rare. [12/7/2013 5:56:51 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): Nilani Adjarin (Rogue) rests hand on rapier's pommel, ready to draw if necessary. [12/7/2013 5:56:58 PM] Lirasian Ares (Wizard): I don't think you want to touch those pipes, Janis. [12/7/2013 5:57:12 PM] Nation: Following the hallway, it eventually comes to an end, with three doors before you -- one left, one right, one straight ahead. More of the iris-style doors. [12/7/2013 5:57:14 PM] Kalor: I already did, they are cold and inert. [12/7/2013 5:57:31 PM] Janis (Ranger): See, they don't bite you like the rope-y things do... [12/7/2013 5:57:33 PM] Kestrel: Scrying. [12/7/2013 5:58:03 PM] Kestrel: Kestrel puts a hand on the leftmost door, without checking for traps! [12/7/2013 5:58:30 PM] Nation: It opens, revealing what looks like a large kitchen, or galley. [12/7/2013 5:58:35 PM] Kalor: However, although this coral is alive, it will not attack us. The creatures that made these walls are far too small to do such. There are varieties with painful stings, but as long as we do not touch them, we needen't worry either way. [12/7/2013 5:58:42 PM] Janis (Ranger): .......FOOOOOOOD! [12/7/2013 5:58:54 PM] Janis (Ranger): Janis (Ranger) dashes past into the kitchen. [12/7/2013 5:58:56 PM] Lirasian Ares (Wizard): Wait, it might be poison! [12/7/2013 5:59:00 PM] Wynn (helmed): Janis! Wait! [12/7/2013 5:59:05 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Indeed it might. [12/7/2013 5:59:16 PM] Wynn (helmed): Wynn (helmed) chases Janis and attempts to stop her. [12/7/2013 5:59:17 PM] Kestrel: The wall could sting us? [12/7/2013 5:59:18 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): Nilani Adjarin (Rogue) cautiously walks in, looking up before proceeding. [12/7/2013 5:59:21 PM] Kestrel: Kestrel eyes Kalor. [12/7/2013 5:59:24 PM] Lirasian Ares (Wizard): Lirasian Ares (Wizard) runs after Janis, and casts Detect Poison. [12/7/2013 5:59:38 PM] Kalor: It might, if the coral used is of a stinging type. [12/7/2013 5:59:53 PM] Janis (Ranger): Janis (Ranger) stops in the kitchen not eating anything. [12/7/2013 6:00:17 PM] Nation: There are cupboards and cubbies and cabinets and even a refridgerated container. They're... mostly empty. [12/7/2013 6:00:29 PM] Nation: Some dried meat, some dried fruit. [12/7/2013 6:00:31 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): (Mostly?) [12/7/2013 6:00:37 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): (ah.) [12/7/2013 6:00:46 PM] Nation: Stuff that keeps. [12/7/2013 6:00:47 PM] Graaver (Monk): Does anyone have anything to carry this with? [12/7/2013 6:00:49 PM] Janis (Ranger): ...no fair. There's barely anything left. [12/7/2013 6:00:59 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): Nilani Adjarin (Rogue) deposits two ration packs in one of the containers. [12/7/2013 6:01:00 PM] Kestrel: Kestrel frowns. [12/7/2013 6:01:02 PM] Lirasian Ares (Wizard): It's not poisonous. [12/7/2013 6:01:16 PM] Nation: There is a sink with a spigot near the counter, though. [12/7/2013 6:01:17 PM] Kestrel: All of this is intended for something. Someone is intending to keep us here. [12/7/2013 6:01:20 PM] Graaver (Monk): Are you sure you want to leave that here Nilani? There' sno guarantee we'll be coming back. [12/7/2013 6:01:27 PM] Wynn (helmed): Or it is to feed our captors. [12/7/2013 6:01:44 PM] Kalor: This almost looks like a ship's galley. But I feel no motion. Even more curious. [12/7/2013 6:01:45 PM] Janis (Ranger): Yeah, maybe we were just supposed to stay in the black things. [12/7/2013 6:01:46 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): Nilani Adjarin (Rogue) indicates that she wants whoever is hungriest to grab one [12/7/2013 6:02:01 PM] Nation: Roll notice, folks. [12/7/2013 6:02:06 PM] Janis (Ranger): Janis (Ranger) does indeed grab one. [12/7/2013 6:02:34 PM] Janis (Ranger): ((17)) [12/7/2013 6:02:54 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): ((same)) [12/7/2013 6:02:57 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): ((12)) [12/7/2013 6:03:00 PM] Kestrel: ((19.)) [12/7/2013 6:03:01 PM] Graaver (Monk): ((10)) [12/7/2013 6:03:12 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): ((oops, 12)) [12/7/2013 6:03:12 PM] Lirasian Ares (Wizard): ((25)) [12/7/2013 6:03:12 PM] Graaver (Monk): ((You got a natural 20 though Kestrel)) [12/7/2013 6:03:17 PM] Wynn (helmed): ((3)) [12/7/2013 6:03:18 PM] Kalor: ((7)) [12/7/2013 6:03:24 PM] Kestrel: ((Doesn't matter with skills.)) [12/7/2013 6:03:27 PM] Wynn (helmed): ((must be the helmet.)) [12/7/2013 6:03:36 PM] Lirasian Ares (Wizard): Anybody know anything about flowers? [12/7/2013 6:03:43 PM] Lirasian Ares (Wizard): Lirasian Ares (Wizard) points towards a strange flower [12/7/2013 6:03:55 PM] Kalor: I have knowledge of plants [12/7/2013 6:03:56 PM] Graaver (Monk): Janis? [12/7/2013 6:03:58 PM] Kestrel: Plant reproductive organs. [12/7/2013 6:04:06 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): ((19)) [12/7/2013 6:04:10 PM] Janis (Ranger): ((I know nature)) [12/7/2013 6:04:15 PM] Janis (Ranger): Let me see. [12/7/2013 6:04:26 PM] Kestrel: Some are edible. Others are poisonous. [12/7/2013 6:04:39 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): Nilani Adjarin (Rogue) looks over Janis' shoulder at the plant. [12/7/2013 6:04:54 PM] Janis (Ranger): ((10 K:N so, not so good, apparently)) [12/7/2013 6:05:02 PM] Nation: No roll needed. It's a pretty standard wildflower native to parts of Solitaire. Its yellow, and growing in a bit of moss wedged between two bits of floor grating. [12/7/2013 6:05:22 PM] Janis (Ranger): ...it's from home... [12/7/2013 6:05:23 PM] Lirasian Ares (Wizard): It's strange that there is moss and a flower here. [12/7/2013 6:05:28 PM] Kalor: To see the earth in a grain of sand... [12/7/2013 6:05:33 PM] Graaver (Monk): If plants are growing from the floor, should that mean there's earth underneath? [12/7/2013 6:05:39 PM] Lirasian Ares (Wizard): I wouldn't touch it, something is weird about this place... [12/7/2013 6:05:40 PM] Janis (Ranger): This is from Solitaire, back in Meneluinin. [12/7/2013 6:06:16 PM] Janis (Ranger): And the walls were made of stuff from Kalor's home. [12/7/2013 6:06:30 PM] Nation: There's no earth under it. Just a weird bit of moss growing in the middle of nowhere with a flower growing out of it. [12/7/2013 6:06:40 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): This is odd. [12/7/2013 6:06:47 PM] Wynn (helmed): Wynn (helmed) starts to fidget, then stops suddenly. [12/7/2013 6:06:55 PM] Lirasian Ares (Wizard): Lirasian Ares (Wizard) looks worriedly at the Paladin. [12/7/2013 6:07:00 PM] Lirasian Ares (Wizard): Are you ok? [12/7/2013 6:07:08 PM] Wynn (helmed): Fine. [12/7/2013 6:07:27 PM] Janis (Ranger): What if the people here knew about us aforehand? [12/7/2013 6:07:27 PM] Nation: There's also a large pantry off the galley, again, mostly empty. There are some grains and other stuff that keeps. [12/7/2013 6:07:57 PM] Kestrel: Plants should not be able to exist here. Should they? [12/7/2013 6:08:10 PM] Lirasian Ares (Wizard): Not like this, at least. [12/7/2013 6:08:13 PM] Janis (Ranger): I dunno. I dunno anything 'bout this place. [12/7/2013 6:08:14 PM] Kalor: The moss is probably able to produce nutrients for the flower in some fashion. What baffles me is how it has maanged to grow without access to ample light. [12/7/2013 6:08:44 PM] Wynn (helmed): I tire of these mysteries. Let us find someone to ask. [12/7/2013 6:08:51 PM] Janis (Ranger): Yeah. [12/7/2013 6:08:57 PM] Kalor: We may merely be witnessing an example of symbiosis, two plants working together to survive where neither could on its own. [12/7/2013 6:08:57 PM] Graaver (Monk): Works for me. Lead on. [12/7/2013 6:09:11 PM] Kestrel: Let them grow. [12/7/2013 6:09:12 PM] Kalor: Or, magic could be involved... [12/7/2013 6:09:15 PM] Wynn (helmed): I suggest we take all the food we can hold. If we have it, our captors do not. [12/7/2013 6:09:24 PM] Lirasian Ares (Wizard): We have nothing to hold the food with. [12/7/2013 6:09:33 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): One way or another. Should we try one of those other doors? [12/7/2013 6:09:34 PM] Kestrel: They mean to let us stay. [12/7/2013 6:09:39 PM] Kestrel: Yes. [12/7/2013 6:09:42 PM] Janis (Ranger): I got a sack. [12/7/2013 6:09:46 PM] Kestrel: Kestrel heads back to the hallway and checks the middle door. [12/7/2013 6:09:51 PM] Wynn (helmed): I assume they mean to let us stay against our will. [12/7/2013 6:09:54 PM] Nation: And there are sacks here, in the pantry, too. [12/7/2013 6:09:58 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): Nilani Adjarin (Rogue) stuffs a few empty pouches with dried fruit, and collects any remaining ration packs. [12/7/2013 6:10:07 PM] Kalor: *Looks at the bottom of the moss, where it meets the deck, and gently tries lifting it as to not damage eventual roots* [12/7/2013 6:10:11 PM] Lirasian Ares (Wizard): Lirasian Ares (Wizard) takes an empty sack. [12/7/2013 6:10:28 PM] Nation: The middle door opens onto another hallway. [12/7/2013 6:10:40 PM] Wynn (helmed): Wynn (helmed) takes a sack and places some food in it, tying it to the back of my belt, out of the way. [12/7/2013 6:10:52 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Larry, Cleric (Adam) fills a sack with assorted dried goods, and heads back to meet Kestrel at the next door. [12/7/2013 6:11:06 PM] Graaver (Monk): Graaver (Monk) takes a few dried fruits and puts them in a pocket. [12/7/2013 6:11:31 PM] Graaver (Monk): Graaver (Monk) follows everyone to the next door. [12/7/2013 6:11:42 PM] Lirasian Ares (Wizard): Lirasian Ares (Wizard) watches Kalor, curious and a little worried for anything that might go wrong. [12/7/2013 6:12:06 PM] Janis (Ranger): Janis (Ranger) runs after the group. [12/7/2013 6:12:10 PM] Janis (Ranger): Wait for me! [12/7/2013 6:12:22 PM] Wynn (helmed): Wynn (helmed) follows Janis. [12/7/2013 6:12:33 PM] Wynn (helmed): Wynn (helmed) though a little less eagerly now. [12/7/2013 6:12:35 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): Nilani Adjarin (Rogue) trudges along [12/7/2013 6:12:53 PM] Kalor: *Puts the plant back down and follows the group* [12/7/2013 6:12:59 PM] Lirasian Ares (Wizard): Lirasian Ares (Wizard) follows after Kalor. [12/7/2013 6:13:19 PM] Nation: You guys going down the new hallway, or checking the last door on the right before you do that? [12/7/2013 6:13:30 PM] Kalor: There was a door? [12/7/2013 6:13:34 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): Nilani Adjarin (Rogue) waits for the mages to check for wards and magic traps before checking the rightmost door for nonmagical traps. [12/7/2013 6:13:49 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): (I'm standing at the central door, waiting for the group to move.) [12/7/2013 6:13:58 PM] Kalor: I'm freshly out of magical detection spells, unfortunately. [12/7/2013 6:14:03 PM] Kestrel: Kestrel waits for everyone to catch up, then opens the righthand door. [12/7/2013 6:14:16 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): Nilani Adjarin (Rogue) facepalms. [12/7/2013 6:14:25 PM] Janis (Ranger): Janis (Ranger) follows her through the right door. [12/7/2013 6:14:27 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Not worried about traps, eh Kestrel? [12/7/2013 6:14:33 PM] Nation: This seems to be some kind of lounge area. There's even a fireplace. [12/7/2013 6:14:46 PM] Nation: Chairs and couches, and a spiral staircase going up. [12/7/2013 6:14:54 PM] Janis (Ranger): ...ok, what? [12/7/2013 6:15:04 PM] Kalor: *Walks up to the fireplace* [12/7/2013 6:15:15 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): Nilani Adjarin (Rogue) walks in, looks around, and shrugs. [12/7/2013 6:15:18 PM] Kestrel: If they wanted to kill us, they would kill us. [12/7/2013 6:15:18 PM] Wynn (helmed): That is a good point, Larry. Perhaps our friend, "Kestrel" knows more than (s?)he is letting on. [12/7/2013 6:15:19 PM] Nation: There's no fire going, but it's definitely a brick fireplace. [12/7/2013 6:15:41 PM] Kalor: I put one finger to the ashes. [12/7/2013 6:15:49 PM] Nation: No ashes, it's totally clean. [12/7/2013 6:15:53 PM] Graaver (Monk): Graaver (Monk) goes to the staircase. Shouts "Hello?" as I get to the next area. [12/7/2013 6:16:13 PM] Janis (Ranger): Looks like this fireplace has never been used.

[12/7/2013 6:16:50 PM] Kestrel: I know what you know. [12/7/2013 6:16:52 PM] Kalor: A very simple spell can remove remaining ashes. [12/7/2013 6:17:12 PM] Kalor: But yes, it is not recently used.

[12/7/2013 6:18:43 PM] Graaver (Monk): ((I don't know. It appears to be blank, as if someone has not created it yet)) [12/7/2013 6:19:02 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Graaver, what do you see upstairs? [12/7/2013 6:19:06 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): ((Interesting. I wonder how that works?)) [12/7/2013 6:19:26 PM] Kestrel: Kestrel inspects the furniture.

[12/7/2013 6:20:14 PM] Wynn (helmed): Wynn (helmed) turns to the door. "Did you hear something Lirasian?"

[12/7/2013 6:20:58 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): A genius what? [12/7/2013 6:20:59 PM] Janis (Ranger): ...a what? [12/7/2013 6:21:19 PM] Kalor: A location with its own consciousness. [12/7/2013 6:21:34 PM] Janis (Ranger): Yeah, whatever it is she said. [12/7/2013 6:21:45 PM] Nation: The furniture is very nice, what you'd see in very classy houses and establishments. [12/7/2013 6:22:05 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): That's very odd. What manner of magic could do such a thing? [12/7/2013 6:22:09 PM] Janis (Ranger): ((Wait, did we all go up the stairs?)) [12/7/2013 6:22:09 PM] Lirasian Ares (Wizard): Lirasian Ares (Wizard) looks suspiciously around the doorway, edging nearer the group. [12/7/2013 6:22:15 PM] Kalor: If that is true then it would indeed seem it is trying to make us comfortable. [12/7/2013 6:22:18 PM] Wynn (helmed): As the Wise Fool says, "Fancy words, like fancy clothes, are often there to distract you from what's underneath." [12/7/2013 6:22:21 PM] Nation: ((No, you're still downstairs.)) [12/7/2013 6:22:21 PM] Graaver (Monk): ((No we're still at the bottom)) [12/7/2013 6:22:37 PM] Janis (Ranger): (y) [12/7/2013 6:22:44 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): Nilani Adjarin (Rogue) is still looking around warily.

[12/7/2013 6:23:01 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Wise words, Wynn. [12/7/2013 6:23:11 PM] Kalor: How fortunate it is then, that my clothes are as plain as they are. [12/7/2013 6:23:15 PM] Kestrel: Plain clothing is easier to  maintain. [12/7/2013 6:23:23 PM] Nation: Made of the same coral-substance. The ceiling, that is.

There are a few tables and other furniture up here, but all of that fails to compare with the view beyond the glass walls. Something like this. http://spaceelephant.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/magic-space-wide.jpg [12/7/2013 6:27:33 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): I do not leave friends behind.

[12/7/2013 6:28:27 PM] Lirasian Ares (Wizard): It might've been a trick on my eyes, but if it wasn't, I want to be here if whoever or whatever that was returns. [12/7/2013 6:28:28 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): Nilani Adjarin (Rogue) scrambles to pick her rapier up again upon hearing it clattering to the ground.

[12/7/2013 6:30:26 PM] Nation: Now you can roll K: Planes if you got it. [12/7/2013 6:30:36 PM] Kestrel: ... unsettling. [12/7/2013 6:31:02 PM] Lirasian Ares (Wizard): Don't want to be left behind, but I'll keep my eyes peeled. Come, let's go up.

[12/7/2013 6:50:19 PM] Kalor: ((Or well, hallway)) [12/7/2013 6:50:57 PM] Janis (Ranger): Janis (Ranger) pulls out her bow and begins to find less visible places to be.

The difference between this number and infinity is negligible, and you all are complicating the situation by talking so loudly. I realize most of you are not used to evading much of anything, and have developed louder voices, but you must really try to keep quiet. Shadow people are amazingly dangerous, and there are older and fouler things than shadow people." [12/7/2013 6:52:43 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): Nilani Adjarin (Rogue) then begins writing on the back [12/7/2013 6:53:09 PM] Kalor: Ah, but I was merely suggesting that if there are shadows about, we shine some LIGHT on the situation. [12/7/2013 6:53:13 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): "Most of which posess a decent sense of hearing!" [12/7/2013 6:53:39 PM] Janis (Ranger): ...(whisper) so, just to check, is anyone going to open the door? [12/7/2013 6:53:42 PM] Wynn (helmed): Wynn (helmed) nods and moves toward the front of the group, leaving Larry and Kalor to watch the rear.

[12/7/2013 6:53:50 PM] Nation: This next stretch of hallway is bare except for one large iris door with a blinking green light dome above it. (reposting.) [12/7/2013 6:54:08 PM] Lirasian Ares (Wizard): Lirasian Ares (Wizard) follows the group. [12/7/2013 6:54:20 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): (In an appropriately low voice) Thank you, friend Nilani. I will do my best to stay quiet. [12/7/2013 6:55:11 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): Nilani Adjarin (Rogue) nods and is visibly relieved. [12/7/2013 6:55:34 PM] Janis (Ranger): How many of these doors are there? [12/7/2013 6:55:39 PM] Nation: So, opening the door with the blinking green light above it? [12/7/2013 6:55:56 PM] Graaver (Monk): ((Kestrel did and Wynn was moving that way)) [12/7/2013 6:56:13 PM] Kestrel: Kestrel tried to open it, yes. [12/7/2013 6:56:21 PM] Wynn (helmed): Wynn (helmed) readies shield and mace, then nods at Kestrel. [12/7/2013 6:56:24 PM] Nation: Kestrel! Roll fort! [12/7/2013 6:56:42 PM] Kalor: Kalor looks around. [12/7/2013 6:56:43 PM] Kestrel: ((7!)) [12/7/2013 6:56:53 PM] Janis (Ranger): ((That's probably not good)) [12/7/2013 6:58:30 PM] Kestrel: Kestrel sits down suddenly. [12/7/2013 6:58:37 PM] Nation: The door opens on an endless black void. The temperature in the hallway drops about 20 degrees immediately. There's no sound, just a major, total, absence of sound. [12/7/2013 6:58:44 PM] Lirasian Ares (Wizard): Are...are you ok Kestrel? [12/7/2013 6:59:00 PM] Kestrel: ... uncertain. [12/7/2013 6:59:03 PM] Nation: Voice: WHAT IN THE 14 HELLS ARE YOU DOING. [12/7/2013 6:59:05 PM] Kestrel: Kestrel closes her eyes. [12/7/2013 6:59:08 PM] Wynn (helmed): Wynn (helmed) stares into the void. [12/7/2013 6:59:19 PM] Kalor: Oh no, the void!

[12/7/2013 6:59:54 PM] Lirasian Ares (Wizard): Lirasian Ares (Wizard) tries to close the door. [12/7/2013 6:59:59 PM] Kestrel: Kestrel tries to close the door, still sitting. [12/7/2013 7:00:02 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): Nilani Adjarin (Rogue) whirls around. [12/7/2013 7:00:06 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Whispered:"I think we should close the group." [12/7/2013 7:00:08 PM] Nation: You touch the door, and it closes. [12/7/2013 7:00:30 PM] Wynn (helmed): Show yourself! [12/7/2013 7:00:34 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Also whispered: "You seem to know an unreasonable amount about damnation." [12/7/2013 7:00:37 PM] Kalor: Kalor spits a vile curse in infernal. [12/7/2013 7:00:44 PM] Janis (Ranger): Or, at least, introduce yourself. [12/7/2013 7:00:58 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): Nilani Adjarin (Rogue) signs frantically. (PLEASEDON'TKILLUSPLEASEDON'TKILLUSPLEASEDON'TKILLUS) [12/7/2013 7:01:03 PM] Kalor: Shouldn't the door at least be marked in RED? [12/7/2013 7:01:05 PM] Kestrel: Kestrel stands up; it takes two tries. [12/7/2013 7:01:13 PM] Lirasian Ares (Wizard): Lirasian Ares (Wizard) helps Kestrel. [12/7/2013 7:01:15 PM] Janis (Ranger): ((points to Nilani)) what she said. [12/7/2013 7:01:20 PM] Wynn (helmed): Do you need assistance, Kestrel? [12/7/2013 7:01:31 PM] Kestrel: Kestrel accepts the help. [12/7/2013 7:01:32 PM] Kestrel: No. [12/7/2013 7:01:33 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Larry, Cleric (Adam) looks to the nearest member of the group to Kalor and I, and, if they're looking this way, gestures for them to stand at my post. [12/7/2013 7:01:37 PM] Nation: A dark-skinned man in ratty clothes comes down the hallway from the opposite way. His ears are slightly pointed, he has fairly bright blue eyes and dark hair cut short. [12/7/2013 7:01:51 PM] Nation: Man:  Didn't you see the light?! [12/7/2013 7:01:57 PM] Graaver (Monk): Graaver (Monk) swaps place with Larry.

[12/7/2013 7:02:33 PM] Nation: Man:  but 'blinking' is always bad! [12/7/2013 7:02:37 PM] Kestrel: The light is green. [12/7/2013 7:02:51 PM] Wynn (helmed): Never mind the light. Who are you and why are we here? [12/7/2013 7:02:51 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Are you injured, friend Kestrel? [12/7/2013 7:02:56 PM] Kestrel: Blinking is always bad. I will remember that in the future. [12/7/2013 7:02:57 PM] Janis (Ranger): Oh, Gods! Would you shut up about the Fraking light!?!? [12/7/2013 7:02:59 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): Nilani Adjarin (Rogue) takes note. [12/7/2013 7:03:03 PM] Lirasian Ares (Wizard): Lirasian Ares (Wizard) is also worried about Kestrel.

[12/7/2013 7:03:41 PM] Nation: Man:  I'm Jarek. [12/7/2013 7:03:51 PM] Kalor: So let me guess, you know everything about where we are and why we are here? [12/7/2013 7:03:52 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Alright, then. Let me know if you deteriorate. [12/7/2013 7:03:53 PM] Kestrel: Did you bring us here? [12/7/2013 7:03:57 PM] Janis (Ranger): I know you're a Jerk, but what's your name. [12/7/2013 7:04:02 PM] Kestrel: Kestrel nods. [12/7/2013 7:04:08 PM] Nation: I didn't bring anyone anywhere. [12/7/2013 7:04:12 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): Nilani Adjarin (Rogue) 's signing slows down, then stops entirely. [12/7/2013 7:04:16 PM] Graaver (Monk): Graaver (Monk) relaxes, tryign not to laugh at Janis's comment. [12/7/2013 7:04:34 PM] Kalor: So... Then this... Place, brought us here on its own?

[12/7/2013 7:05:02 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): Nilani Adjarin (Rogue) tries to remember some elven gesture of politeness, but fails. [12/7/2013 7:05:17 PM] Janis (Ranger): Well, you're helpful, Jerk-man. [12/7/2013 7:05:25 PM] Kalor: Ah, finally something that makes sense. [12/7/2013 7:05:33 PM] Lirasian Ares (Wizard): Lirasian Ares (Wizard) turns to the new man and then to Kalor in confusion. [12/7/2013 7:05:35 PM] Graaver (Monk): I'm glad it makes sense to someone. [12/7/2013 7:05:37 PM] Kalor: So what nature is this curse? [12/7/2013 7:05:38 PM] Kestrel: The ceilings are insufficient. [12/7/2013 7:05:41 PM] Janis (Ranger): What do you mean we're cursed? [12/7/2013 7:06:00 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Cursed, you say? [12/7/2013 7:06:16 PM] Wynn (helmed): Speak plainly. [12/7/2013 7:06:21 PM] Nation: Jarek:  I've been here a very long time. Occasionally that room with the black cylinders shows up, drops up a bunch of you people. [12/7/2013 7:06:39 PM] Nation: Jarek:  They all die, eventually. [12/7/2013 7:06:48 PM] Kalor: So the rooms in this structure are not always here, correct? [12/7/2013 7:06:49 PM] Kestrel: "Shows up?" [12/7/2013 7:06:53 PM] Lirasian Ares (Wizard): Die?

[12/7/2013 7:07:40 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): Nilani Adjarin (Rogue) Is initially distressed, but shrugs, remembering that everyone dies eventually. [12/7/2013 7:07:47 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): And now you say only some of them die. Explain yourself, stranger. [12/7/2013 7:08:02 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Oh, that'll clear it up pretty well. Nevermind. [12/7/2013 7:08:02 PM] Nation: ((Sorry, that was a reply to the 'room' comment.)) [12/7/2013 7:08:17 PM] Kestrel: Not everything. [12/7/2013 7:08:25 PM] Nation: Jarek:  The people, though, they die horribly. [12/7/2013 7:08:33 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): Nilani Adjarin (Rogue) frowns. [12/7/2013 7:08:39 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): So from whence did you come, and why do you live while the others perish? [12/7/2013 7:08:40 PM] Lirasian Ares (Wizard): Lirasian Ares (Wizard) crosses her arms. [12/7/2013 7:08:44 PM] Kestrel: Clarify. [12/7/2013 7:08:46 PM] Nation: Jarek shrugs.

[12/7/2013 7:09:12 PM] Nation: Jarek:  Everyone else dies, though. [12/7/2013 7:09:20 PM] Kalor: In what ways? We want to hear details, here. Gory mutilation, suffocation, or do they just... Drop dead? [12/7/2013 7:09:22 PM] Wynn (helmed): By your hand? [12/7/2013 7:09:33 PM] Nation: Jarek:  Nah.

[12/7/2013 7:09:36 PM] Kalor: No, of course not [12/7/2013 7:09:45 PM] Kalor: That would be far too simple. [12/7/2013 7:09:45 PM] Nation: Jarek: One way or another. [12/7/2013 7:09:49 PM] Nation: Jarek:  You're on a ship. [12/7/2013 7:09:58 PM] Graaver (Monk): It doesn't look like a ship. [12/7/2013 7:10:01 PM] Kestrel: An airship? [12/7/2013 7:10:07 PM] Janis (Ranger): A void-ship! [12/7/2013 7:10:13 PM] Nation: Jarek:  Kind of, but it flies through the multiverse. [12/7/2013 7:10:13 PM] Kalor: Well, it was either than or a castle on the edge of forever. [12/7/2013 7:10:29 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): Nilani Adjarin (Rogue) is immensely interested.

[12/7/2013 7:11:18 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): How long have you been here? And you have not yet said from whence you came, either on this 'Nation', or before. [12/7/2013 7:11:20 PM] Nation: Jarek:  It's written down. [12/7/2013 7:11:26 PM] Kestrel: Where? [12/7/2013 7:12:44 PM] Nation: Jarek:  Some of the parts are marked. components and stuff, marked with 'Nation Section V-1-oo98sjb.' [12/7/2013 7:12:58 PM] Kestrel: Perhaps that is the origin, not the destination. [12/7/2013 7:13:03 PM] Janis (Ranger): Who names a ship nation? [12/7/2013 7:13:10 PM] Kalor: Sections you say? [12/7/2013 7:13:15 PM] Kestrel: One might as easily imagine the ship to be named V-1-oo98sjb. [12/7/2013 7:13:17 PM] Kalor: How big is this ship? [12/7/2013 7:13:27 PM] Nation: Jarek:  That would be a terrible name. [12/7/2013 7:13:34 PM] Kestrel: In Common. [12/7/2013 7:13:43 PM] Graaver (Monk): Well Janis here obviously thinks Nation is a terrible name as well. [12/7/2013 7:13:47 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Should we retire to the room with the chairs? It is clear that we have many questions, that you have at least some answers, and that this is not the best place to handle them all. [12/7/2013 7:14:06 PM] Nation: Jarek:  I think Janis is a terrible name. [12/7/2013 7:14:12 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Also, it lacks a door to oblivion. [12/7/2013 7:14:22 PM] Janis (Ranger): Well, Jerk is also a terrible name. Is your last name face? [12/7/2013 7:14:24 PM] Kestrel: Are there better provisions available than those in the... kitchen area? Fresh water? Places to rest? [12/7/2013 7:14:25 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): Nilani Adjarin (Rogue) 's eyes brighten a little. [12/7/2013 7:14:26 PM] Graaver (Monk): I like that idea Larry. [12/7/2013 7:14:56 PM] Kestrel: I find the ceilings in that room to be insufficient. [12/7/2013 7:15:11 PM] Lirasian Ares (Wizard): Insufficient? [12/7/2013 7:15:15 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Then where? [12/7/2013 7:15:18 PM] Graaver (Monk): Would the glass room be better Kestrel? [12/7/2013 7:15:19 PM] Nation: Jarek:  don't open doors with blinking green lights. Very bad. [12/7/2013 7:15:27 PM] Kalor: It is not actually a door to oblivion, that one likely leads out into interdimensional space. Ok, maybe "Door to oblivion" is a suitable name after all... [12/7/2013 7:15:28 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): Nilani Adjarin (Rogue) nods. [12/7/2013 7:15:30 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): I presume she refers specifically to the glass ceiling. [12/7/2013 7:15:54 PM] Kestrel: No. There are no rafters. Nowhere to hide. [12/7/2013 7:16:05 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): All the better. [12/7/2013 7:16:15 PM] Graaver (Monk): Are there any rooms with dusty rafters, Jer-.. Jarek? [12/7/2013 7:16:33 PM] Nation: Jarek:  That's the Negative Energy Plane. Very bad. [12/7/2013 7:16:36 PM] Wynn (helmed): We have nothing to hide. Do you, Jarek? [12/7/2013 7:16:42 PM] Nation: Jarek:  Tons! [12/7/2013 7:16:43 PM] Kestrel: Chairs are acceptable. [12/7/2013 7:17:00 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Larry, Cleric (Adam) moves towards Wynn. [12/7/2013 7:17:04 PM] Kestrel: Kestrel turns back around and heads back to the lounge area. [12/7/2013 7:17:06 PM] Kalor: Yes, the view is nice but the dust there is a KILLER. [12/7/2013 7:18:07 PM] Kalor: So how specifically do this... Ship, move between the planes?

[12/7/2013 7:20:26 PM] Nation: Jarek: Well, you saw those cylinder things, right? [12/7/2013 7:20:34 PM | Edited 7:20:56 PM] Nation: Jarek:  There's people in all of them.

[12/7/2013 7:20:44 PM] Nation: Jarek:  Never saw him before. [12/7/2013 7:20:52 PM] Kalor: Some type of enchanted stasis chambers. [12/7/2013 7:21:13 PM] Janis (Ranger): ((Hey, Josh, don't forget to change your Skype Handle to Raven)) [12/7/2013 7:21:18 PM] Kalor: Reminds me very much of the kind high ranking wizards use to store clones. [12/7/2013 7:21:23 PM] Joshua Trujillo: Raven, a 6" tall half elf, wears fine clothing and walks around with a carved black cane. His hair is probably the most distinctive feature.

[12/7/2013 7:22:22 PM] Janis (Ranger): ...doesn't all that hair get caught on stuff?

[12/7/2013 7:23:48 PM] Joshua Trujillo: Joshua Trujillo responds "Proper grooming prevents that" [12/7/2013 7:24:13 PM] Joshua Trujillo: (win 8 app I can't seem to change it.) [12/7/2013 7:24:15 PM] Kalor: But won't it get in your way underwater? [12/7/2013 7:24:40 PM] Kestrel: ... underwater? [12/7/2013 7:24:48 PM] Joshua Trujillo: "what would I be doing under water?" [12/7/2013 7:24:56 PM] Nation: ((Skype > Profile > Edit your Profile?)) [12/7/2013 7:24:57 PM] Wynn (helmed): Do we not have more pressing concerns than an elf's hair? [12/7/2013 7:25:01 PM] Kestrel: One tilts one's head back. [12/7/2013 7:25:10 PM] Kalor: Oh, you're an elf. [12/7/2013 7:25:12 PM] Kestrel: Kestrel also has very long hair; however, hers is all up. [12/7/2013 7:25:27 PM] Kalor: Forget I said anything, merely my mind wandering. [12/7/2013 7:25:46 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): Nilani Adjarin (Rogue) leans against the wall so she can survey both the area in front of her, and behind, as surprises seem to be everywhere today. [12/7/2013 7:26:04 PM] Lirasian Ares (Wizard): And who would you be, anyway? [12/7/2013 7:27:17 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Introductions are most important indeed if we are to get anywhere. [12/7/2013 7:27:21 PM] Kalor: He's clearly from one of the other pods. [12/7/2013 7:27:30 PM] Nation: You get back to the Lounge! Jarek in tow. [12/7/2013 7:27:38 PM] Raven  ThroneWatch: he bows toward Kestrel [12/7/2013 7:27:41 PM] Kalor: Jarek alluded to as much before. [12/7/2013 7:27:47 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): My name is Larry, and I am a humble servant of Pelor. [12/7/2013 7:27:55 PM] Lirasian Ares (Wizard): He might be from the other pods, but who is he? [12/7/2013 7:27:56 PM] Janis (Ranger): You're a butler? [12/7/2013 7:28:05 PM] Janis (Ranger): ((to Larry)) [12/7/2013 7:28:11 PM] Kalor: He's a man of the cloth. [12/7/2013 7:28:17 PM] Janis (Ranger): Oh, he sews [12/7/2013 7:28:30 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): Nilani Adjarin (Rogue) grins. [12/7/2013 7:28:31 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): No, young one, I am a cleric. [12/7/2013 7:28:35 PM] Graaver (Monk): He serves a god, Janis. [12/7/2013 7:28:36 PM] Janis (Ranger): OH! [12/7/2013 7:28:39 PM] Janis (Ranger): Ok. [12/7/2013 7:28:39 PM] Kalor: ((Always wanted to pull that joke XD)) [12/7/2013 7:28:51 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): ((That was pretty great.)) [12/7/2013 7:29:14 PM] Janis (Ranger): I'm Janis. I am the greatest bounty hunter in the world! [12/7/2013 7:29:44 PM] Janis (Ranger): Janis (Ranger) stands with her hands on her hips and chest out. [12/7/2013 7:29:59 PM] Kestrel: Kestrel. [12/7/2013 7:30:00 PM] Kalor: I am Kalor of Delvingdeep. A wizard in search for knowledge. [12/7/2013 7:30:21 PM] Wynn (helmed): Yes... well... I'm not sure why we're threatening one man who approached then introducing ourselves to another. [12/7/2013 7:30:24 PM] Raven  ThroneWatch: Raven  ThroneWatch nods and smiles [12/7/2013 7:30:26 PM] Nation: The lounge is a very nice room with comfortable furniture and a pleasant atmosphere. There's a spiral staircase going up. [12/7/2013 7:30:51 PM] Janis (Ranger): He's not being a jerk. [12/7/2013 7:30:55 PM] Nation: Jarek:  Oh, you were threatening me? Rude. [12/7/2013 7:30:57 PM] Kestrel: I was attempting politeness. [12/7/2013 7:31:18 PM] Kalor: I never threatened anyone. [12/7/2013 7:31:24 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Were we indeed threatening Jarek? I merely thought he would have answers to our questions. [12/7/2013 7:31:24 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): Nilani Adjarin (Rogue) holds out the slip of paper from before. It reads

"Nilani Adjarin, Infiltrator- Retriever of Lost Items-Good Listener" [12/7/2013 7:31:32 PM] Graaver (Monk): The only one being theatening was you, Paladin. [12/7/2013 7:31:34 PM] Janis (Ranger): I was just talking. [12/7/2013 7:31:54 PM] Lirasian Ares (Wizard): We're getting no answers from this... we should continue. [12/7/2013 7:31:57 PM] Lirasian Ares (Wizard): Lirasian Ares (Wizard) sighs. [12/7/2013 7:32:20 PM] Wynn (helmed): My first inclination when a man suddenly appears from nowhere implying we're all going to die horrible deaths is to become hostile, yes. [12/7/2013 7:32:32 PM] Kestrel: Kestrel eyes Jarek. [12/7/2013 7:32:34 PM] Graaver (Monk): That's completely understandable. [12/7/2013 7:32:36 PM] Kestrel: How long have you been here? [12/7/2013 7:32:38 PM] Kalor: Curses usually are such a bother. [12/7/2013 7:33:20 PM] Nation: Jarek:  I am not terribly social, which is apparently a capital offense, so I apologize. But... you shouldn't open doors to the Negative Energy Plane. [12/7/2013 7:33:32 PM] Kestrel: Green blinking lights are bad. [12/7/2013 7:33:43 PM] Kalor: Ah [12/7/2013 7:33:47 PM] Kestrel: How long have you been here? Are there alternative food sources on this ship? Places to rest? [12/7/2013 7:34:11 PM] Nation: Jarek:  Long time. I think I was one of the first. A few centuries? [12/7/2013 7:34:18 PM] Wynn (helmed): Wynn (helmed) reluctantly replaces her mace on her hip. [12/7/2013 7:34:36 PM] Janis (Ranger): But, if this is a ship, can't we just sail it home? [12/7/2013 7:34:41 PM] Kalor: So you're the only occupant that has survived for this long. [12/7/2013 7:34:47 PM] Kalor: Wait. [12/7/2013 7:35:02 PM] Nation: Jarek:  I can show you where food is. [12/7/2013 7:35:04 PM] Kalor: How long does it usually take for these newcomers to die? [12/7/2013 7:35:04 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): Nilani Adjarin (Rogue) realizes she hasn't sheathed her rapier, and does so. [12/7/2013 7:35:17 PM] Lirasian Ares (Wizard): Lirasian Ares (Wizard) puts away her shortbow. [12/7/2013 7:35:17 PM] Kestrel: And places to rest? [12/7/2013 7:35:21 PM] Nation: Jarek nods. [12/7/2013 7:35:24 PM] Kestrel: ... humans require sleep. [12/7/2013 7:35:32 PM] Kalor: It wouldn't be increments of, oh, around 60-70 years or so? [12/7/2013 7:35:37 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Larry, Cleric (Adam) puts away my mace. [12/7/2013 7:35:51 PM] Nation: JArek looks at Kalor. "Depends on what doors they open.  Usually a new group of people is dead within... five at the most?" [12/7/2013 7:36:01 PM] Raven  ThroneWatch: Raven  ThroneWatch looks for a place to sit. [12/7/2013 7:36:09 PM] Graaver (Monk): Five what? [12/7/2013 7:36:11 PM] Nation: Plenty of seats in the lounge. [12/7/2013 7:36:22 PM] Wynn (helmed): ((is there only one door besides the stairs?)) [12/7/2013 7:36:26 PM] Nation: Jarek:  Years. But that was all of them, in every cylinder. [12/7/2013 7:36:29 PM] Nation: ((Yes.)) [12/7/2013 7:36:49 PM] Wynn (helmed): Wynn (helmed) stands near the door, back to the wall. [12/7/2013 7:36:50 PM] Kalor: Well, you just saw what one plane can do to you. [12/7/2013 7:36:53 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): ((wait, is there another door in the lounge?)) [12/7/2013 7:37:00 PM] Kestrel: We will open no doors. [12/7/2013 7:37:01 PM] Nation: ((Nope. Just the one you came in.)) [12/7/2013 7:37:13 PM] Raven  ThroneWatch: Raven  ThroneWatch sits and watches the show. [12/7/2013 7:37:16 PM] Kalor: I imagine we will have a much higher probability of dying out there, than in here. [12/7/2013 7:37:18 PM] Janis (Ranger): But, wait, you said this was a ship, right? [12/7/2013 7:37:25 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): Nilani Adjarin (Rogue) sits cross-legged, against the wall, opposite the door. [12/7/2013 7:37:36 PM] Nation: Jarek:  Yes. Broken, though. Can't steer. [12/7/2013 7:37:37 PM] Lirasian Ares (Wizard): Lirasian Ares (Wizard) still nonplussed about the new person. [12/7/2013 7:37:51 PM] Janis (Ranger): ...of course... [12/7/2013 7:37:57 PM] Kalor: On the other hand, we have limited food. [12/7/2013 7:37:58 PM] Nation: Jarek:  Can't steer properly, I should say. [12/7/2013 7:38:08 PM] Kestrel: We stay here. We open  no doors. [12/7/2013 7:38:20 PM] Nation: Jarek:  Something will still kill you. [12/7/2013 7:38:26 PM] Graaver (Monk): We'll have to open doors eventually to find a way back. [12/7/2013 7:38:28 PM] Nation: Jarek: some of the doors are stable. [12/7/2013 7:38:31 PM] Janis (Ranger): Also, what about clothing? And baths? [12/7/2013 7:38:33 PM] Nation: JArek:  Some of them change. [12/7/2013 7:38:50 PM] Nation: Jarek:  Like the cylinder room, it's not always there. [12/7/2013 7:39:22 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): When it disappears, does somethign else take its place? [12/7/2013 7:39:28 PM] Kestrel: Few will miss me. Perhaps none. [12/7/2013 7:39:34 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): (something) [12/7/2013 7:39:58 PM] Nation: Jarek:  Yes. But it always comes back. [12/7/2013 7:40:26 PM] Nation: Jarek:  Then new people come, and they also die. [12/7/2013 7:40:40 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Where does the door go to when it disappears? Does that change? [12/7/2013 7:40:58 PM] Nation: Jarek:  The door stays where it is. What's on the other side changes. [12/7/2013 7:41:20 PM] Kestrel: And if we jam the door open? [12/7/2013 7:41:28 PM] Wynn (helmed): Why do you say "something will still kill YOU?" Why are you not included in this statement? [12/7/2013 7:41:43 PM] Nation: Jarek:  I've been here centuries. Nothing kills me. Just everyone else. [12/7/2013 7:41:45 PM] Kalor: So the cylinders... They contain people. [12/7/2013 7:41:53 PM] Lirasian Ares (Wizard): Yes just like us, Kalor. [12/7/2013 7:41:58 PM] Kalor: People in stasis, why do you think that is? [12/7/2013 7:42:00 PM] Wynn (helmed): Nothing? Have you been in a position to test that? [12/7/2013 7:42:22 PM] Kalor: How long were we in there, before they opened up to let us out here? [12/7/2013 7:42:29 PM] Nation: Jarek:  I don't know. [12/7/2013 7:42:38 PM] Kalor: Perhaps hours, days, years, CENTURIES? [12/7/2013 7:42:39 PM] Nation: Jarek:  I don't know what makes the cylinders open. [12/7/2013 7:42:59 PM] Kestrel: Perhaps *you* are cursed. [12/7/2013 7:43:10 PM] Nation: Jarek:  Maybe. Maybe we're all cursed. [12/7/2013 7:43:20 PM] Nation: Jarek:  You, me, Nation. [12/7/2013 7:43:26 PM] Kestrel: We have not been here for two hundred years watching everyone die around us. [12/7/2013 7:43:37 PM] Kalor: If the room is filled, and the cylinders open a few at a time, this could be thousands of years into the future. [12/7/2013 7:44:03 PM] Wynn (helmed): I refuse to believe St. Cuthbert would allow a curse to take me. [12/7/2013 7:44:21 PM] Kalor: My home, my family... I might never see them again. [12/7/2013 7:44:23 PM] Nation: ((Feel free to Sense Motive at any time, by the way. :) )) [12/7/2013 7:44:23 PM] Janis (Ranger): Maybe we're here to break the curse! [12/7/2013 7:44:54 PM] Lirasian Ares (Wizard): ((22)) [12/7/2013 7:45:00 PM] Nation: ((I'm not going to tell you to do, just do it on your own.  :) )) [12/7/2013 7:45:05 PM] Raven  ThroneWatch: Raven  ThroneWatch nods at Janis, "That seems to be reasonable." [12/7/2013 7:45:06 PM] Janis (Ranger): ((14, whatever that gets me)) [12/7/2013 7:45:29 PM] Kestrel: My area of expertise is not curses. [12/7/2013 7:45:30 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): ((9. ._.)) [12/7/2013 7:45:48 PM] Kalor: Curses are pretty simple actually. [12/7/2013 7:45:52 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): (19) [12/7/2013 7:46:06 PM] Lirasian Ares (Wizard): Lirasian Ares (Wizard) turns on Jarek with anger in her eyes. [12/7/2013 7:46:08 PM] Kestrel: You are a mage. [12/7/2013 7:46:09 PM] Lirasian Ares (Wizard): You're holding back. [12/7/2013 7:46:30 PM] Nation: Jarek:  So? [12/7/2013 7:46:54 PM] Kestrel: To what purpose? [12/7/2013 7:47:02 PM] Lirasian Ares (Wizard): So fess up. You're outnumbered, and dare I say, we have no reason to hold back. [12/7/2013 7:47:06 PM] Lirasian Ares (Wizard): You say you cannot be killed. [12/7/2013 7:47:17 PM] Kestrel: We're *not* killing him. [12/7/2013 7:47:29 PM] Graaver (Monk): He's done nothing to deserve death. [12/7/2013 7:47:32 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): My friends, we have no reason to start a fight. [12/7/2013 7:47:35 PM] Wynn (helmed): No, but Stubborn heads are not made of glass. [12/7/2013 7:47:53 PM] Janis (Ranger): ((Is there anything loud and breakable in the room?)) [12/7/2013 7:48:02 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): Nilani Adjarin (Rogue) whole-heartedly agrees with most of the party, and so stays seated. [12/7/2013 7:48:07 PM] Raven  ThroneWatch: Raven  ThroneWatch watches the outburst and says "Ms. would you like a seat." he stands in a room full of seats to offer his own. [12/7/2013 7:48:13 PM] Nation: ((There's a tasteful vase on the mantle.)) [12/7/2013 7:48:22 PM] Janis (Ranger): ((I shoot an arrow at it)) [12/7/2013 7:48:30 PM] Janis (Ranger): Janis (Ranger) shoots an arrow at it [12/7/2013 7:49:04 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): ((where am I, in relation to the vase?)) [12/7/2013 7:49:08 PM | Edited 7:49:18 PM] Janis (Ranger): ((Holy fuck, I crited the vase)) [12/7/2013 7:49:13 PM] Nation: That is the deadest vase that ever vased. [12/7/2013 7:49:26 PM] Janis (Ranger): SHUT UP! [12/7/2013 7:49:52 PM] Kestrel: Kestrel does a cartwheel and ends up behind a chair with regard to Janis. She doesn't wanna be the next fragile thing to die. [12/7/2013 7:50:08 PM] Nation: Jarek:  I liked that vase. [12/7/2013 7:50:25 PM] Janis (Ranger): We're tired. We're hungry. And yelling ain't helping nobody. [12/7/2013 7:50:28 PM] Lirasian Ares (Wizard): Lirasian Ares (Wizard) glares at Jarek, but remains silent for now. [12/7/2013 7:50:40 PM] Kestrel: Its pattern was agreeably symmetrical, but the colors were overly bright. [12/7/2013 7:50:47 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): It seems this day is becoming a lesson in impermanence. [12/7/2013 7:51:00 PM] Kalor: Calm down everyone! *Use diplomacy to defuse* We have no reason to believe that this gentleman is behind all this. And firing missile weapons in an area made of glass is hardly the most intelligent desicion. [12/7/2013 7:51:11 PM] Kalor: ((13)) [12/7/2013 7:51:16 PM] Janis (Ranger): If Jerkface won't talk, and he is a Jerkface, then threatening won't help, and I don't want us to all die in a fight! [12/7/2013 7:51:17 PM] Nation: ((Well, upstairs is made of glass. Not down here.)) [12/7/2013 7:51:22 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): Nilani Adjarin (Rogue) just wants some peace and quiet. [12/7/2013 7:51:41 PM] Janis (Ranger): Janis (Ranger) pants very loudly then goes and retrieves the arrow. [12/7/2013 7:51:46 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): (21 on diplomacy to aid with the calming process). [12/7/2013 7:51:56 PM] Kestrel: ((Diplo only works on NPCs, alas.)) [12/7/2013 7:52:26 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): ((Shucks. I suppose I should have looked that over)). [12/7/2013 7:52:28 PM] Wynn (helmed): I think we have plenty of reason. [12/7/2013 7:52:31 PM] Lirasian Ares (Wizard): Lirasian Ares (Wizard) looks at Kestrel with something even more than distrust. [12/7/2013 7:52:41 PM] Wynn (helmed): He's the only one of us that didn't wake up in a coffin today. [12/7/2013 7:52:51 PM] Kalor: Stasis chamber. [12/7/2013 7:52:55 PM] Kestrel: ((If you have a very high score, however, I generally would RP accordingly, myself!)) [12/7/2013 7:53:01 PM] Wynn (helmed): He's the only person we've seen, and we didn't see him until after we had searched around. [12/7/2013 7:53:08 PM] Kalor: Technically it is more like a meat locker, only without the ice. [12/7/2013 7:53:13 PM] Wynn (helmed): He claims everyone (including us) dies a horrible death. [12/7/2013 7:53:16 PM] Kestrel: Kestrel tilts her head to the side at Lirasian. [12/7/2013 7:53:16 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): ((BTW, has Raven actually introduced himself yet?)) [12/7/2013 7:53:21 PM] Lirasian Ares (Wizard): And he's holding back. [12/7/2013 7:53:22 PM] Lirasian Ares (Wizard): (n) [12/7/2013 7:53:24 PM] Wynn (helmed): We know he is holding something back, and won't tell us what. [12/7/2013 7:53:26 PM] Kalor: ((I have a score of 1)) [12/7/2013 7:53:28 PM] Lirasian Ares (Wizard): ((I was trying to push for it earlier)) [12/7/2013 7:53:39 PM] Raven  ThroneWatch: (no just a description) [12/7/2013 7:53:43 PM] Wynn (helmed): He's not offering any other suggestions. He's our only lead. [12/7/2013 7:54:00 PM] Graaver (Monk): Well... He did say the doors change. We could try a door or two. [12/7/2013 7:54:05 PM] Nation: Jarek:  I was answering questions until you started shouting at me. [12/7/2013 7:54:16 PM] Kalor: Exactly. [12/7/2013 7:54:18 PM] Kestrel: The last door was... unpleasant. [12/7/2013 7:54:27 PM] Nation: Jarek:  You want to see the Forest? [12/7/2013 7:54:27 PM] Janis (Ranger): If he wanted to kill us, why did he come to save us when we opened the door? [12/7/2013 7:54:36 PM] Kalor: Yes. [12/7/2013 7:54:38 PM] Janis (Ranger): ...what forest? [12/7/2013 7:54:40 PM] Wynn (helmed): To save himself. [12/7/2013 7:54:41 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): Nilani Adjarin (Rogue) perks up. [12/7/2013 7:54:47 PM] Kalor: We would very much like to see the forest. [12/7/2013 7:55:01 PM] Kestrel: ... forest? [12/7/2013 7:55:07 PM] Nation: He heads out the door! [12/7/2013 7:55:18 PM] Graaver (Monk): Graaver (Monk) follows group. [12/7/2013 7:55:19 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): Nilani Adjarin (Rogue) gets up, dusts herself off, and follows. [12/7/2013 7:55:24 PM] Janis (Ranger): Janis (Ranger) follows. [12/7/2013 7:55:27 PM] Wynn (helmed): Plain truth needs no gilded robes!! Or forests! [12/7/2013 7:55:38 PM] Lirasian Ares (Wizard): We're following a guy... who says everyone else dies.... great. [12/7/2013 7:55:40 PM] Lirasian Ares (Wizard): Lirasian Ares (Wizard) grumbles. [12/7/2013 7:55:42 PM] Raven  ThroneWatch: Raven  ThroneWatch stands and walks toward the door. [12/7/2013 7:55:50 PM] Kalor: Kalor follows right behind Jarek. [12/7/2013 7:55:54 PM] Wynn (helmed): Wynn (helmed) scowls and follows, keeping between Jarek and Janis. [12/7/2013 7:55:59 PM] Kestrel: Kestrel goes last. [12/7/2013 7:56:12 PM] Lirasian Ares (Wizard): Lirasian Ares (Wizard) follows reluctantly [12/7/2013 7:56:43 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Larry, Cleric (Adam) keeps stride with Kestrel. [12/7/2013 7:57:23 PM] Nation: He leads you down the hallway, past the Cylinder Room door, into another hallway with a bunch of doors on one wall and one large, door on the other. This door has moss growing around it, and some vines snaking through it. The door opens onto a huge, sylvan forest. [12/7/2013 7:57:52 PM] Kalor: So does that mean that all doors that lead to planes with detrimental traits have flashing lights? [12/7/2013 7:57:55 PM] Nation: Jarek:  This is a stable door. It's always the forest. It's where -- I think it is, anyway -- where most of the air and water come from. [12/7/2013 7:58:06 PM] Kestrel: It smells like plants. [12/7/2013 7:58:32 PM] Wynn (helmed): ((Detect evil)) [12/7/2013 7:58:47 PM] Nation: ((None that you can detect in your range.)) [12/7/2013 7:59:14 PM] Raven  ThroneWatch: (looks for invisible anything) [12/7/2013 7:59:16 PM] Nation: Jarek:  Also food, if you look for it. [12/7/2013 7:59:36 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): What manner of food, Jarek? [12/7/2013 7:59:37 PM] Kestrel: Food? [12/7/2013 7:59:40 PM] Janis (Ranger): Janis (Ranger) opens the door. [12/7/2013 7:59:45 PM] Nation: ((the door was open.)) [12/7/2013 7:59:55 PM] Nation: ((It opened when he approached it.)) [12/7/2013 8:00:00 PM] Kalor: Kalor steps through the door and looks around, especially at the sky. [12/7/2013 8:00:04 PM] Janis (Ranger): ((Oops, sorry)) [12/7/2013 8:00:08 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): Nilani Adjarin (Rogue) looks warily around for awhile. [12/7/2013 8:00:13 PM] Lirasian Ares (Wizard): The door responded to you... why? [12/7/2013 8:00:16 PM] Nation: Yep, there's a sky. [12/7/2013 8:00:26 PM] Kalor: ((K: The Planes)) [12/7/2013 8:00:34 PM] Janis (Ranger): Janis (Ranger) enters and begins to run around. [12/7/2013 8:00:37 PM] Nation: Jarek:  It opens when people get near. [12/7/2013 8:00:57 PM] Kestrel: Kestrel crouches and examines the grass. [12/7/2013 8:00:57 PM] Graaver (Monk): Graaver (Monk) goes through the door, tries to keep sight of Janis. [12/7/2013 8:01:01 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): (Sense Motive to see if that's BS) [12/7/2013 8:01:15 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): (music) [12/7/2013 8:01:25 PM] Nation: It's all real. Real grass, real trees, real plants, real stream. [12/7/2013 8:01:27 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): ((Notice, 23)) [12/7/2013 8:01:30 PM] Kalor: *Mumbles* It has a medium level divination enchantment, probably detects anyone that's... "Cursed". [12/7/2013 8:01:51 PM] Lirasian Ares (Wizard): Maybe Jarek knows how to... become uncursed. [12/7/2013 8:02:04 PM] Nation: Jarek:  If I did you wouldn't be here. [12/7/2013 8:02:15 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): ((sense motive, 21)) [12/7/2013 8:02:27 PM] Kalor: I wonder if it's not so much a curse as a system. [12/7/2013 8:03:22 PM] Kalor: Ship captains sometimes sign up a bunch of drunken sailors and set sail before they have a chance to sober up enough to change their minds. [12/7/2013 8:03:33 PM] Kalor: Maybe we're the "crew". [12/7/2013 8:03:34 PM] Kestrel: I was not inebriated. [12/7/2013 8:03:45 PM] Lirasian Ares (Wizard): The ship doesn't work, according to Jarek. [12/7/2013 8:03:47 PM] Kalor: And the ship is malfunctioning... [12/7/2013 8:03:54 PM] Kalor: Exaclty. [12/7/2013 8:04:16 PM] Kalor: It doesn't work, so instead of picking the right people, it picked us up randomly. [12/7/2013 8:04:16 PM] Wynn (helmed): ((sorry. had to clean up after daughter real quick. back now)) [12/7/2013 8:04:25 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): Nilani Adjarin (Rogue) pauses before entering, then goes off to check something. [12/7/2013 8:04:37 PM] Raven  ThroneWatch: "Maybe it works off of our life force." he smile and goes back to checking his nails. [12/7/2013 8:04:40 PM] Janis (Ranger): I didn't drink. I can't drink. It messes with the job. [12/7/2013 8:04:44 PM] Kestrel: ... I have no expertise in ships. Or... forests. [12/7/2013 8:04:48 PM] Nation: Jarek:  There's food, there's water. Game to hunt if you like meat, and fish in the water. [12/7/2013 8:04:53 PM] Kestrel: Kestrel looks at the trees distrustfully. [12/7/2013 8:05:04 PM] Kestrel: Water? [12/7/2013 8:05:26 PM] Nation: Jarek:  There's a river that runs through the forest and lots of streams. [12/7/2013 8:05:28 PM] Wynn (helmed): Wynn (helmed) stays in the hall to watch Jarek. [12/7/2013 8:05:34 PM] Lirasian Ares (Wizard): Lirasian Ares (Wizard) stays with Wynn. [12/7/2013 8:05:51 PM] Kestrel: You suggest we drink from the *river*? ... no wonder people often die. [12/7/2013 8:05:53 PM] Kalor: This seems like an expanded pocket plane, or maybe something bigger. [12/7/2013 8:06:25 PM] Nation: Jarek:  The water is clean. [12/7/2013 8:06:29 PM] Kalor: I once read about a spell that can create places like these. [12/7/2013 8:06:33 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): Nilani Adjarin (Rogue) checks on the mark she left near the cylinder room, to find it is gone. [12/7/2013 8:07:00 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Jarek, you never did elaborate on the  food we might find here. [12/7/2013 8:07:07 PM] Lirasian Ares (Wizard): ((Actually he did)) [12/7/2013 8:07:19 PM] Nation: Jarek gestures toward the forest. "Fruit, berries.  Fish.  Meat." [12/7/2013 8:07:56 PM] Graaver (Monk): Graaver (Monk) kneels at the nearest stream and drinks. [12/7/2013 8:08:01 PM] Kestrel: From a river. [12/7/2013 8:08:28 PM] Nation: Jarek:  The water from the river is filtered into the rest of the ship and cleaned if that makes you feel better. [12/7/2013 8:08:50 PM] Kestrel: Kestrel watches Graaver to see if he dies! [12/7/2013 8:08:59 PM] Nation: He does not die. It's very clean. [12/7/2013 8:09:04 PM | Edited 8:09:44 PM] Janis (Ranger): That's great but what about bathing water? [12/7/2013 8:09:11 PM] Graaver (Monk): Graaver (Monk) the water seems good. [12/7/2013 8:09:14 PM] Janis (Ranger): We can't drink the same water we clean ourselves in. [12/7/2013 8:09:28 PM] Kalor: Like I said, powerful wizards often create these places to rest or provide food. [12/7/2013 8:09:35 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): (My bad) [12/7/2013 8:09:45 PM] Nation: Jarek:  There are rooms in the doors across the hall that you can use. [12/7/2013 8:10:01 PM] Kestrel: Do those doors change? [12/7/2013 8:10:01 PM] Kalor: My guess is this is a permanent fixture, part of the ship from construction. [12/7/2013 8:10:02 PM] Nation: Roll notice! [12/7/2013 8:10:14 PM] Kestrel: ... are the ceilings ... better? [12/7/2013 8:10:15 PM] Lirasian Ares (Wizard): ((9)) [12/7/2013 8:10:21 PM] Janis (Ranger): ((24)) [12/7/2013 8:10:23 PM] Nation: Jarek:  Yeah, this one never changes. [12/7/2013 8:10:41 PM] Wynn (helmed): ((12)) [12/7/2013 8:10:42 PM] Nation: Jarek:  ... what's wrong with the ceilings? [12/7/2013 8:10:44 PM] Kestrel: Those across the hall? [12/7/2013 8:10:46 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): ((27)) [12/7/2013 8:10:50 PM] Kestrel: They lack places to sit. [12/7/2013 8:10:54 PM] Kestrel: Beams. [12/7/2013 8:10:57 PM] Kestrel: Hiding places. [12/7/2013 8:11:29 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): ((26, oops)) [12/7/2013 8:11:52 PM] Nation: Jarek:  No, those aren't dimensional doors, just normal doors. [12/7/2013 8:11:56 PM] Janis (Ranger): Why aren't you coming in? [12/7/2013 8:12:05 PM] Lirasian Ares (Wizard): ((Who are you asking?)) [12/7/2013 8:12:15 PM] Kestrel: Kestrel is in, but not far in. [12/7/2013 8:12:31 PM] Nation: Jarek:  I don't like nature. [12/7/2013 8:12:38 PM] Janis (Ranger): ...aren't you an elf? [12/7/2013 8:12:47 PM] Kalor: No. [12/7/2013 8:12:54 PM] Nation: Jarek:  It's too big and open out there. [12/7/2013 8:12:56 PM] Kestrel: ((8 on SM on that!)) [12/7/2013 8:13:10 PM] Nation: ((Jarek is a half-elf.)) [12/7/2013 8:13:14 PM] Janis (Ranger): ((18 SM)) [12/7/2013 8:13:15 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): (sense motive on that "I don't like nature" noise) [12/7/2013 8:13:23 PM] Kalor: Exactly [12/7/2013 8:13:31 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): (24) [12/7/2013 8:13:43 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): (devil) [12/7/2013 8:13:47 PM] Kalor: The ears fit but he's not... Elvish enough. [12/7/2013 8:13:58 PM] Kalor: Probably a half elf. [12/7/2013 8:14:12 PM] Janis (Ranger): ...probably. [12/7/2013 8:14:13 PM] Kestrel: Not all elves like nature. [12/7/2013 8:14:31 PM] Graaver (Monk): I know many elves that have never set foot outside the city. [12/7/2013 8:14:31 PM] Janis (Ranger): Janis (Ranger) looks at the nature around her, checking it very closely. (K:N) [12/7/2013 8:14:48 PM] Janis (Ranger): ((11)) [12/7/2013 8:15:16 PM] Kalor: I want to look around for edible flora. [12/7/2013 8:15:26 PM] Kestrel: Would you recognize them? [12/7/2013 8:15:30 PM] Kalor: Kalor looks around for any edible roots, berries and such. [12/7/2013 8:15:33 PM] Nation: The forest looks as real as any yo've ever seen. [12/7/2013 8:15:40 PM] Janis (Ranger): I'll come with you. Together, we can probably find some good stuff. [12/7/2013 8:16:09 PM] Graaver (Monk): Graaver (Monk) accompanies Kalor and Janis, but looks around at trees and such, not food. [12/7/2013 8:16:14 PM] Wynn (helmed): Perhaps we should have Jarek taste what you find first. [12/7/2013 8:16:31 PM] Kestrel: I can identify poisonous substances if necessary. [12/7/2013 8:16:40 PM] Janis (Ranger): ((Are the three of us out of sight of Jarek yet)) [12/7/2013 8:16:42 PM] Nation: Jarek rolls his eyes. [12/7/2013 8:16:51 PM] Lirasian Ares (Wizard): Lirasian Ares (Wizard) scowls at Jarek. [12/7/2013 8:17:13 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Larry, Cleric (Adam) strolls through the door up to Kestrel. [12/7/2013 8:17:20 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): Nilani Adjarin (Rogue) is bored and goes exploring, being careful not to open any doors with blinking lights. [12/7/2013 8:17:39 PM] Kalor: These pocket planes are usually made to be used for foraging, to harvest useful substances or the like. [12/7/2013 8:17:54 PM] Kalor: There's probably nothing in here that can harm us. [12/7/2013 8:17:55 PM] Wynn (helmed): Were you following us before you showed yourself? [12/7/2013 8:18:21 PM] Kalor: Unless of course whatever is wrong with the ship infected this place... [12/7/2013 8:18:26 PM] Kestrel: Kestrel frowns. [12/7/2013 8:18:39 PM] Nation: ((I started a new room for the foraging party.)) [12/7/2013 8:18:44 PM] Raven  ThroneWatch: Raven  ThroneWatch follows Nilani if he isn't sneaking around. [12/7/2013 8:19:13 PM] Nation: Jarek:  No, I didn't even know you were here before I heard you in the hall. [12/7/2013 8:19:30 PM] Wynn (helmed): Do you know anything about shadowy people? [12/7/2013 8:19:36 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): ((Notice, 9, probably doesn't notice raven)) [12/7/2013 8:19:54 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): Nilani Adjarin (Rogue) continues exploring [12/7/2013 8:20:17 PM] Nation: Jarek:  Ghosts. Probably. [12/7/2013 8:20:19 PM] Kestrel: Kestrel follows the foraging party. [12/7/2013 8:20:22 PM] Lirasian Ares (Wizard): Ghosts? [12/7/2013 8:20:38 PM] Nation: Jarek:  Lots of people died horribly here. So yeah, ghosts. [12/7/2013 8:20:45 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Larry, Cleric (Adam) backs out the door. [12/7/2013 8:20:59 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Larry, Cleric (Adam) turns on Jarek. [12/7/2013 8:21:53 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Larry, Cleric (Adam) draws his mace.

[12/7/2013 8:23:19 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): I was raised to help the weak and innocent. All creatures are my friends, so long as they do not exploit or hurt those people. [12/7/2013 8:23:24 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): ((Notice, 10)) ((search, 29)) [12/7/2013 8:24:38 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Now I cannot say for sure that the people that just walked into that forest are innocent. But I can say that you misrepresented what's going on here. So why won't you enter the forest, Jarek? [12/7/2013 8:25:02 PM] Nation: Jarek:  Because I don't want to. [12/7/2013 8:25:05 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): (rolling intimidate) [12/7/2013 8:25:07 PM] Nation: Jarek:  Are you going to make me? [12/7/2013 8:25:18 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): (18) [12/7/2013 8:25:55 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): That depends on what I'm going to have to do to make you. I have no desire to see blood shed this day unnecessarily. [12/7/2013 8:26:12 PM] Wynn (helmed): Luckily "necessary" has a vague definition. [12/7/2013 8:26:17 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Not yours. Not theirs. But if you leave me no choice... [12/7/2013 8:26:26 PM] Lirasian Ares (Wizard): Lirasian Ares (Wizard) looks at Wynn. [12/7/2013 8:26:28 PM] Lirasian Ares (Wizard): You agree with him? [12/7/2013 8:27:01 PM] Wynn (helmed): With Larry? I trust a priest of Pelor more than any other person on this ship at the moment. [12/7/2013 8:27:24 PM] Nation: Jarek:  You sure he's a priest? Maybe he's a liar. [12/7/2013 8:27:41 PM] Wynn (helmed): He might be. But I am damn near sure you ARE. [12/7/2013 8:28:01 PM] Lirasian Ares (Wizard): Lirasian Ares (Wizard) draws her shortbow. [12/7/2013 8:28:04 PM] Nation: Jarek:  Earlier, you asked me if I was holding anything back. I said 'tons'. At least I'm honest about my lies. [12/7/2013 8:28:20 PM] Lirasian Ares (Wizard): I think you should enter that forest, Jarek. [12/7/2013 8:28:54 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Indeed, Jarek. Lead us into the forest. [12/7/2013 8:29:26 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Larry, Cleric (Adam) circles around Jarek, to block his escape, and prod him through the door if necessary. [12/7/2013 8:29:38 PM] Lirasian Ares (Wizard): Lirasian Ares (Wizard) readies her shortbow. [12/7/2013 8:30:18 PM] Nation: Jarek looks at the Paladin, and the Cleric, and the Wizard. "Why is it the holy types that always start the mobs?" [12/7/2013 8:30:45 PM] Wynn (helmed): Because we have something worth fighting for. [12/7/2013 8:30:57 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): A mob has no leader, whereas we have you to lead us into the forest to find and protect the others. [12/7/2013 8:31:24 PM] Nation: Jarek:  they're fine. They're not getting threatened. [12/7/2013 8:31:27 PM] Kestrel: ((Damn, I miss  all the good parts! Oh well, I left my pitchfork at home anyway.))

[12/7/2013 8:32:14 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): (23) [12/7/2013 8:32:31 PM] Lirasian Ares (Wizard): I suggest you prove it. Now. [12/7/2013 8:32:53 PM] Nation: Jarek shakes his head. "Nope." [12/7/2013 8:33:02 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Larry, Cleric (Adam) nods to the others. [12/7/2013 8:33:09 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): ((21, notice, Raven)) [12/7/2013 8:33:15 PM] Wynn (helmed): As the Wise Fool says, "The wood corrects those whom the word will not bend." [12/7/2013 8:33:16 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): At the least, he's being honest about their safety. [12/7/2013 8:33:22 PM] Wynn (helmed): Wynn (helmed) draws mace. [12/7/2013 8:33:48 PM] Nation: Jarek:  So, going to beat on me until I do what you want? Very human of you. [12/7/2013 8:33:55 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Larry, Cleric (Adam) prods Jarek towards the door. [12/7/2013 8:34:05 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Not beat you. Just push you in the appropriate direction. [12/7/2013 8:34:05 PM] Wynn (helmed): No, but I have a shield with which to push. [12/7/2013 8:34:18 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): Nilani Adjarin (Rogue) turns and runs right into Raven, and is knocked to the floor because of her abysmal strength rating. [12/7/2013 8:34:26 PM] Wynn (helmed): Unless you care to tell us the real reason you do not wish to enter. [12/7/2013 8:34:28 PM] Lirasian Ares (Wizard): Lirasian Ares (Wizard) switches to her quarterstaff to prod Jarek with. [12/7/2013 8:34:46 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): Nilani Adjarin (Rogue) then picks herself up, looks questioningly at him, and hurries off. [12/7/2013 8:35:09 PM] Nation: Jarek vanishes.

[12/7/2013 8:36:59 PM] Wynn (helmed): (y) [12/7/2013 8:37:15 PM] Wynn (helmed): Where are you? [12/7/2013 8:37:21 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): ((she already made up a nickname for that kid?))

[12/7/2013 8:37:51 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Now, why she called the child Annie, I can't explain, but I'm sure there's some reasoning behind it. [12/7/2013 8:38:08 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): Nilani Adjarin (Rogue) facepalms. [12/7/2013 8:38:09 PM] Kalor: Annie? [12/7/2013 8:38:11 PM] Lirasian Ares (Wizard): Should we go after her? [12/7/2013 8:38:15 PM] Graaver (Monk): (( she had a pic of annie on earlier, from another game)) [12/7/2013 8:38:32 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Lirasian, Nilani, should we be separated from the others like this?

[12/7/2013 8:39:04 PM] Kalor: You seem agitated, did anything happen? [12/7/2013 8:39:18 PM] Lirasian Ares (Wizard): Where's Wynn? [12/7/2013 8:39:28 PM] Kestrel: We are evidently balls. [12/7/2013 8:39:30 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): Nilani Adjarin (Rogue) looks questioningly at Kalor. [12/7/2013 8:39:31 PM] Nation: Wynn should be there. [12/7/2013 8:39:38 PM] Wynn (helmed): There you are! [12/7/2013 8:39:40 PM] Janis (Ranger): Except Jerkface. He's a cup! [12/7/2013 8:39:43 PM] Graaver (Monk): (( I'm assuming Wyn ran into us on teh way back)) [12/7/2013 8:39:52 PM] Kalor: That is also a ship. [12/7/2013 8:39:56 PM] Janis (Ranger): Maybe. [12/7/2013 8:40:19 PM] Wynn (helmed): Wynn (helmed) gathers her compsure and tries to look stoic. [12/7/2013 8:40:28 PM] Graaver (Monk): These two came up with an idea as to what's going on. [12/7/2013 8:40:46 PM] Graaver (Monk): Graaver (Monk) pointing at Janis and Kalor. [12/7/2013 8:40:56 PM] Lirasian Ares (Wizard): Before you say, there's something you should know. Jarek vanished. Right in front of our eyes. [12/7/2013 8:41:00 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): Nilani Adjarin (Rogue) was going to leave again, but whirls around and listens. [12/7/2013 8:41:03 PM] Janis (Ranger): When? [12/7/2013 8:41:09 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Indeed he did. [12/7/2013 8:41:10 PM] Kalor: The room with the tubes, it's a shuttle. [12/7/2013 8:41:15 PM] Wynn (helmed): When we tried to force him into the forest. [12/7/2013 8:41:21 PM] Kestrel: He is a vessel. [12/7/2013 8:41:24 PM] Janis (Ranger): That's cause he's a cup! [12/7/2013 8:41:28 PM] Raven  ThroneWatch: Raven  ThroneWatch listens. [12/7/2013 8:41:31 PM] Kalor: It goes back and forth like a ferry, to this ship, and somewhere else. [12/7/2013 8:41:36 PM] Janis (Ranger): He isn't in the ship. He is the ship! [12/7/2013 8:41:42 PM] Lirasian Ares (Wizard): He is a ship? [12/7/2013 8:41:59 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): So that's why he wouldn't go through the door? Because he can't? [12/7/2013 8:42:00 PM] Kalor: It actually makes sense. [12/7/2013 8:42:25 PM] Kalor: He is the ship, or whatever is bound to the ship to make it fly. [12/7/2013 8:42:34 PM] Lirasian Ares (Wizard): No wonder he doesn't die. [12/7/2013 8:42:45 PM] Kalor: Think about it, do even elves live that long normally? [12/7/2013 8:42:55 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): That does explain a lot. [12/7/2013 8:42:55 PM | Edited 8:43:05 PM] Kestrel: Elves do. [12/7/2013 8:43:03 PM] Graaver (Monk): But he's only half. [12/7/2013 8:43:08 PM] Kestrel: Half-elves do not. [12/7/2013 8:43:26 PM] Janis (Ranger): A half-elf would only live to about 200, at best. [12/7/2013 8:43:38 PM] Raven  ThroneWatch: "Maybe he doesn't know he is the ship. Then all that threatening was all for nothing." he shrugs and smirks. [12/7/2013 8:44:00 PM] Kalor: That's the thing, the ship is broken, injured in some way. [12/7/2013 8:44:11 PM] Kalor: So maybe he is too? [12/7/2013 8:44:16 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Well, then perhaps it won't have any consequences if and when he returns. [12/7/2013 8:44:16 PM] Kestrel: Kestrel steps out of the forest, and says "Jarek?" [12/7/2013 8:44:17 PM] Wynn (helmed): Well... if this is true... maybe all groups threaten him and get sent to the negative energy plane. And... I just threatened him. [12/7/2013 8:44:28 PM] Wynn (helmed): Wynn (helmed) replaces mace. [12/7/2013 8:44:33 PM] Kalor: Like a dog that won't show that it's hurt for fear of showing weakness. [12/7/2013 8:44:44 PM] Lirasian Ares (Wizard): Lirasian Ares (Wizard) puts weapons away as well. [12/7/2013 8:44:48 PM] Janis (Ranger): Or, maybe he needs a second to come back. [12/7/2013 8:44:56 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Larry, Cleric (Adam) replaces mace. [12/7/2013 8:44:59 PM] Nation: He appears again. "Are we done threatening me?" [12/7/2013 8:45:07 PM] Wynn (helmed): Perhaps. [12/7/2013 8:45:10 PM] Lirasian Ares (Wizard): Lirasian Ares (Wizard) jumps. [12/7/2013 8:45:14 PM] Kestrel: They said you are the ship. [12/7/2013 8:45:15 PM] Janis (Ranger): I knew a guy who said when his willie went away, it took a few minutes to "re-joov-in-ate" [12/7/2013 8:45:15 PM] Kalor: You threatened him? [12/7/2013 8:45:24 PM] Raven  ThroneWatch: "civility is often the best recourse when assessing a situation." he says to no one in particular. [12/7/2013 8:45:29 PM] Janis (Ranger): ...I dunno what a willie is, but maybe it's like that. [12/7/2013 8:45:38 PM] Graaver (Monk): Graaver (Monk) makes a startled look at Janis. [12/7/2013 8:45:52 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): We didn't threaten, so much as prod him to enter the portal. [12/7/2013 8:46:06 PM] Nation: Jarek:  Still coercion. [12/7/2013 8:46:17 PM] Kestrel: Are you the ship? [12/7/2013 8:46:32 PM] Janis (Ranger): ((Well, way to ease him into that)) [12/7/2013 8:46:32 PM] Kalor: And since he vanished, he probably had a REASON to not go through the portal. [12/7/2013 8:46:45 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): We were concerned about the others, and nonplussed with your dishonesty. [12/7/2013 8:46:54 PM] Lirasian Ares (Wizard): Lirasian Ares (Wizard) nods in agreement. [12/7/2013 8:46:56 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): (to Jarek) [12/7/2013 8:47:14 PM] Kestrel: Kestrel is as diplomatic as a battering ram. [12/7/2013 8:47:15 PM] Nation: Jarek:  No, you're anxious like animals and needed a scapegoat to persecute. [12/7/2013 8:47:17 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): Nilani Adjarin (Rogue) looks at Jarek sorrowfully. [12/7/2013 8:48:04 PM] Lirasian Ares (Wizard): So why doesn't the ship work? [12/7/2013 8:48:05 PM] Kestrel: Kestrel frowns. [12/7/2013 8:48:22 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Yes, Jarek. What IS wrong with you? [12/7/2013 8:48:26 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): ((Diplomacy, 28)) [12/7/2013 8:48:41 PM] Wynn (helmed): We were not going to kill you, or even attempt to do so, unless you attacked first. [12/7/2013 8:49:01 PM] Kalor: Um, that still sounds threatening. [12/7/2013 8:49:03 PM] Raven  ThroneWatch: Raven  ThroneWatch looks at Jarek. "Not all of us." [12/7/2013 8:49:09 PM] Kestrel: I would like an answer. [12/7/2013 8:49:37 PM] Kalor: I still say that we should stop this pointless intimidation. [12/7/2013 8:49:42 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): (BRB, got to flip the laundry) [12/7/2013 8:49:58 PM] Kestrel: Intimidation? [12/7/2013 8:51:04 PM] Kalor: Yes, why even speak of killing and attacking? The only thing Jarek has actually done so far is stopped us from killing ourselves. And given us food. [12/7/2013 8:51:38 PM] Wynn (helmed): Wynn (helmed) flips up visor on helm so that full face is visible. [12/7/2013 8:51:49 PM] Kestrel: We are *not* killing anyone. [12/7/2013 8:51:52 PM] Raven  ThroneWatch: Raven  ThroneWatch nods in agreement with Kalor [12/7/2013 8:51:58 PM] Nation: Jarek changes, his skin turning darker, becoming a flat black llined with glowing cyan patterns that seem to move and change. "I was made to work with a crew, you see.  But I launched too early.  Then people started showing up.  'A crew', I thought.  But they died.  And so did the ones after them.  And the ones after them.  And the ones after them.  And the ones after them.' [12/7/2013 8:52:24 PM] Nation: Nation:  I am cursed.  I wasn't lying about that. [12/7/2013 8:52:38 PM] Kalor: You launched too early you say? [12/7/2013 8:53:07 PM] Nation: Nation:  Yes.  Not sure how, I wasn't fully activated yet. [12/7/2013 8:53:20 PM] Kestrel: You are the ship. [12/7/2013 8:53:43 PM] Kalor: Working theory now. (5) [12/7/2013 8:54:01 PM] Janis (Ranger): ((I called it!)) [12/7/2013 8:54:19 PM] Kestrel: What does it feel like to have organisms inside you? [12/7/2013 8:54:41 PM] Kalor: ((He's like Tin Man, I just realized)) [12/7/2013 8:54:42 PM] Nation: Nation:  How does it feel to have all those tiny cell things in you? [12/7/2013 8:55:04 PM] Janis (Ranger): ((I view him as Moya from Farscape)) [12/7/2013 8:55:05 PM] Kestrel: I don't talk to them. [12/7/2013 8:55:06 PM] Wynn (face open): ((Or Serenity)) [12/7/2013 8:55:14 PM] Graaver (Monk): ((I was thinking Moya too)) [12/7/2013 8:55:22 PM] Raven  ThroneWatch: Raven  ThroneWatch "where can I take a nap?" [12/7/2013 8:55:33 PM] Janis (Ranger): ((Actually, I guess Nation is Moya and Jarek is Pilot)) [12/7/2013 8:55:45 PM] Graaver (Monk): ((technically)) [12/7/2013 8:55:48 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): Nilani Adjarin (Rogue) points Raven towards the bedrooms. [12/7/2013 8:55:51 PM] Kalor: ((I just hope we won't have to go through all the trouble to get sodium cloride...)) [12/7/2013 8:56:05 PM] Nation: He points across the hall from the Forest door. "Rooms are in there." [12/7/2013 8:56:18 PM] Wynn (face open): So what do you need a crew for? [12/7/2013 8:56:39 PM] Kalor: So how exaclty are you cursed? And what do you mean you were built to work with a crew? [12/7/2013 8:56:52 PM] Kestrel: I would not make appropriate crew. [12/7/2013 8:57:04 PM] Graaver (Monk): Graaver (Monk) scowls at Kestrel. [12/7/2013 8:58:16 PM] Nation: Nation: I was made to work with a crew. I run all the calculation, all the many many many things I need to do to keep this ship working. The crew handles the navigation, the piloting, all of that. But with just me, I have to run everything. [12/7/2013 8:58:39 PM] Janis (Ranger): So, at some point, we could navigate you back home? [12/7/2013 8:58:57 PM] Nation: Nation:  It takes all of my resources just to keep us from getting ripped apart by metadimensional riptides. [12/7/2013 8:59:21 PM] Raven  ThroneWatch: Raven  ThroneWatch for a nice room. He walks away and look for a place to put his things down. [12/7/2013 8:59:28 PM] Nation: Nation: ... theoretically, if you don't die, yes. [12/7/2013 8:59:47 PM] Janis (Ranger): Janis (Ranger) smiles. [12/7/2013 8:59:48 PM] Kalor: The reality shear must be enormous, like I said, everywhere and nowhere. [12/7/2013 9:00:00 PM] Wynn (face open): How do you think we will die, as you are so quick to continue mentioning? [12/7/2013 9:00:37 PM] Nation: Nation:  I dont' know. I never know. I can never stop it. [12/7/2013 9:00:56 PM] Kestrel: ... what positions are crew required for? [12/7/2013 9:01:20 PM] Kalor: I take it that the cylinder room is not part of the original design, like this plane? [12/7/2013 9:01:26 PM] Wynn (face open): Where were you built? [12/7/2013 9:01:41 PM] Nation: Nation:  Solitaire. [12/7/2013 9:02:24 PM] Nation: Nation:  But with relativistic effects of uncoordinated multi-dimensional jumps, I've been lost for a thousand years. [12/7/2013 9:03:02 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): (Back) [12/7/2013 9:03:09 PM] Kestrel: What would happen if you entered the forest? [12/7/2013 9:03:29 PM] Nation: Nation:  ... bad things. The Forest doesn't like me right now. [12/7/2013 9:03:38 PM] Janis (Ranger): ...why? [12/7/2013 9:03:49 PM] Nation: Nation:  We had an argument. [12/7/2013 9:03:57 PM] Wynn (face open): Wynn (face open) reaches out to touch Jarek/Nation's shoulder to see if he is physical or simply an illusion [12/7/2013 9:04:07 PM] Nation: Nation is solid. [12/7/2013 9:04:08 PM] Janis (Ranger): Maybe you can bring it flowers. [12/7/2013 9:04:29 PM] Wynn (face open): Speaking of... why is there a flower in the kitchen space? [12/7/2013 9:04:30 PM] Graaver (Monk): It's my exprience that flowers can fix many problems. [12/7/2013 9:04:38 PM] Lirasian Ares (Wizard): ((back)) [12/7/2013 9:04:53 PM] Lirasian Ares (Wizard): ((SM on argument statement)) [12/7/2013 9:05:05 PM] Lirasian Ares (Wizard): ((13)) [12/7/2013 9:05:24 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): I apologize for losing my patience. I do my best to be an exemplary servant of Pelor, but unlike my God, my patience is limited. [12/7/2013 9:05:49 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): Nilani Adjarin (Rogue) edges off briefly to claim a room, but shortly returns. [12/7/2013 9:05:53 PM] Wynn (face open): ... and my god is not an examplar of patience himself. [12/7/2013 9:06:02 PM] Kalor: I apologize on behalf of my companions. [12/7/2013 9:06:13 PM] Lirasian Ares (Wizard): Apologies will win us nothing if we die anyway. [12/7/2013 9:06:19 PM] Lirasian Ares (Wizard): We need to cure this ship. [12/7/2013 9:06:23 PM] Janis (Ranger): I'm sorry I made fun of your name. [12/7/2013 9:06:36 PM] Kalor: But don't you see? Nation is in as much trouble as we are. [12/7/2013 9:06:42 PM] Wynn (face open): Though perhaps I can suggest, in case our demise is truthfully imminent, that honesty may be the best policy when greeting new crew? [12/7/2013 9:06:53 PM] Kestrel: You did not answer my question, regarding what crew positions require filling. [12/7/2013 9:07:13 PM] Lirasian Ares (Wizard): Lirasian Ares (Wizard) gestures at Kalor. [12/7/2013 9:07:16 PM] Lirasian Ares (Wizard): That's what... I said. [12/7/2013 9:07:38 PM] Kalor: Me too, half an hour ago. [12/7/2013 9:07:40 PM] Nation: Nation:  Two pilots, two navigators, two engineers, and one on power regulation. [12/7/2013 9:07:54 PM] Kestrel: My skillset is not appropriate. [12/7/2013 9:08:03 PM] Lirasian Ares (Wizard): You do not have the same sense of time that I do, then. [12/7/2013 9:08:07 PM] Kalor: When people were shooting at vases. [12/7/2013 9:08:11 PM] Lirasian Ares (Wizard): And how exactly are you telling time? [12/7/2013 9:08:12 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): Nilani Adjarin (Rogue) sets off to find something to fix. [12/7/2013 9:08:29 PM] Graaver (Monk): (to Kestrel) Surely you know how to read a map. [12/7/2013 9:08:30 PM] Janis (Ranger): I was trying to make a point.. [12/7/2013 9:08:30 PM] Kalor: *Points at the sky in the forest* [12/7/2013 9:08:31 PM] Wynn (face open): Indeed. Unless someone needs correction or conversion, I am afraid I am inadequate to perform these functions. [12/7/2013 9:08:33 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Indeed. And, fortunately, that is what I do. Before we arrived here, I healed in the name of Pelor in a small village. My skillset is not appropriate either, but nonetheless, we will have to learn if we intend to return to our homes. [12/7/2013 9:08:59 PM] Lirasian Ares (Wizard): The sky changes? [12/7/2013 9:09:00 PM] Nation: Nation:  I disguise myself to take the measure of new arrivals. Some do better than others, so I wonder if I should get my hopes up. [12/7/2013 9:09:20 PM] Janis (Ranger): I can navigate. [12/7/2013 9:09:38 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): ((Personally, I'm still getting an Event Horizon feel here)) [12/7/2013 9:10:04 PM] Kestrel: I can read maps adequately; I suspect more will be required here. [12/7/2013 9:10:32 PM] Kalor: The pertinent issue when it comes to our arrival is still, if Nation did not abduct us, who did? [12/7/2013 9:10:53 PM] Nation: Nation:  I don't know where that room comes from. I don't know where it goes. [12/7/2013 9:10:59 PM] Kalor: And if that cylinder room is part of the ship, or something else entirely. [12/7/2013 9:11:06 PM] Nation: Nation:  It's not part of the ship. [12/7/2013 9:11:15 PM] Kalor: As I suspected. [12/7/2013 9:11:23 PM] Janis (Ranger): Maybe it's another cup [12/7/2013 9:11:38 PM] Kalor: Excellent deduction. [12/7/2013 9:11:39 PM] Janis (Ranger): If they're all alive, maybe it is trying to help Nation [12/7/2013 9:11:50 PM] Graaver (Monk): I think the cylinder room was one of the original cups. [12/7/2013 9:11:51 PM] Kalor: I do indeed belive, it is another cup. [12/7/2013 9:11:58 PM] Lirasian Ares (Wizard): Cup...? [12/7/2013 9:12:04 PM] Lirasian Ares (Wizard): Lirasian Ares (Wizard) looks completely at a loss. [12/7/2013 9:12:07 PM] Janis (Ranger): ...does that make it a goblet? [12/7/2013 9:12:14 PM] Kalor: Yes [12/7/2013 9:12:17 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): A vessel. [12/7/2013 9:12:21 PM] Kestrel: ... And we are balls. [12/7/2013 9:12:23 PM] Graaver (Monk): The cups were how Kalor explained the ship's situation to us. [12/7/2013 9:12:24 PM] Kalor: Let's call the cylinder room a goblet. [12/7/2013 9:12:32 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Another, smaller ship. [12/7/2013 9:12:32 PM] Lirasian Ares (Wizard): Balls? [12/7/2013 9:12:36 PM] Wynn (face open): Wynn (face open) looks confused, and with the visor up, you can tell! [12/7/2013 9:12:40 PM] Graaver (Monk): Well, we're a ball. Not balls. [12/7/2013 9:12:50 PM] Lirasian Ares (Wizard): A ball, inside a cup? [12/7/2013 9:12:57 PM] Kalor: Yes [12/7/2013 9:12:59 PM] Graaver (Monk): between a cup and another cup. [12/7/2013 9:13:09 PM] Kalor: The ship is the cup, and we are the ball. [12/7/2013 9:13:17 PM] Lirasian Ares (Wizard): This is not a suitable analogy for me. [12/7/2013 9:13:31 PM] Kalor: Now we are in the ship, but we were... In the goblet. [12/7/2013 9:13:32 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): Nilani Adjarin (Rogue) understands [12/7/2013 9:13:35 PM] Janis (Ranger): It reminds me of a game this guy Jamaros would play outside a tavern my mum worked at. [12/7/2013 9:13:39 PM] Graaver (Monk): ((Playing the less than intelligent is fun)) [12/7/2013 9:13:49 PM] Wynn (face open): Wynn (face open) sighs. "The child gets it. My head hurts." [12/7/2013 9:13:59 PM] Janis (Ranger): Janis (Ranger) smiles. [12/7/2013 9:14:02 PM] Graaver (Monk): ((Only the simplest minds can understand)) [12/7/2013 9:14:11 PM] Janis (Ranger): And Miss Haversham in school said I wasn't getting nowhere. [12/7/2013 9:14:23 PM] Raven  ThroneWatch: Raven  ThroneWatch come back without his cane [12/7/2013 9:14:32 PM] Lirasian Ares (Wizard): I never dealt with any cups with a ball in them... especially ones between cups. [12/7/2013 9:14:42 PM] Lirasian Ares (Wizard): And certainly none that were broken. [12/7/2013 9:15:00 PM] Graaver (Monk): (to raven) Welcome back, friend. [12/7/2013 9:15:02 PM] Janis (Ranger): It's ok. If it's like the game, the ball always ends up in his left sleeve when you're not looking. [12/7/2013 9:15:14 PM] Wynn (face open): Who's left sleeve? [12/7/2013 9:15:15 PM] Kalor: That's exactly it, Nation is not only cursed, it's been boarded. [12/7/2013 9:15:19 PM] Kestrel: As long as assassination will not be required. [12/7/2013 9:15:20 PM] Wynn (face open): (err... whose) [12/7/2013 9:15:23 PM] Kalor: Over and over again. [12/7/2013 9:15:36 PM] Lirasian Ares (Wizard): That's why there's ghosts, right? [12/7/2013 9:15:43 PM] Janis (Ranger): The guy outside the tavern. [12/7/2013 9:15:49 PM] Kalor: All the people that came here and died.

[12/7/2013 9:19:10 PM] Kestrel: Kestrel just stares at his hand for a moment; then remembers to shake it. [12/7/2013 9:19:14 PM] Graaver (Monk): Graaver (Monk) If Wynn is praying, I'll go join her silently. [12/7/2013 9:19:34 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): I think I will join the two of you as well.

[12/7/2013 9:24:39 PM] Janis (Ranger): I waited too long, all the good rooms were taken. [12/7/2013 9:24:56 PM] Wynn (helmed): Your words honor me, Raven, though I fear I am undeserving. [12/7/2013 9:25:22 PM] Nation: Nation:  Hey, in a thousand years, you tell me if you can keep track of all your parts at all times. [12/7/2013 9:25:33 PM] Graaver (Monk): I like to keep my parts firmly attached. [12/7/2013 9:25:34 PM] Lirasian Ares (Wizard): Well then we can find it for you. [12/7/2013 9:25:39 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): Nilani Adjarin (Rogue) looks like she would like to find an operation manual or parts listing, or something which would help her do a better job of fixing things around here than the thief's tools she has stowed away. [12/7/2013 9:25:53 PM] Lirasian Ares (Wizard): Lirasian Ares (Wizard) doesn't recognize that look. [12/7/2013 9:25:54 PM] Janis (Ranger): What's going on? [12/7/2013 9:26:07 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): We can try, at the least. [12/7/2013 9:26:08 PM] Kestrel: I have never lost my nose or other body part. [12/7/2013 9:26:09 PM] Wynn (helmed): If I remember correctly, we have a crewmember who specializes in finding lost things, don't we?

What we must consider now is what we can do to ease that process. [12/7/2013 9:27:16 PM] Janis (Ranger): I can help! I hunt things! [12/7/2013 9:27:22 PM] Nation: Nation:  It might have gotten blown off the last time I fought with that jerk Skyspider. [12/7/2013 9:27:23 PM] Raven  ThroneWatch: Raven  ThroneWatch shakes his head no "Even the greatest warrior once had never used an arm.  Yet few have such humility to admit it.

[12/7/2013 9:27:55 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): Nilani Adjarin (Rogue) listens intently. [12/7/2013 9:28:16 PM] Nation: Nation:  One of those piece-of-junk Neogi ships.  This one was a real piece of work. [12/7/2013 9:28:39 PM] Lirasian Ares (Wizard): Lirasian Ares (Wizard) looks at her companions to see if they know what Nation is talking about.

[12/7/2013 9:29:12 PM] Nation: Nation:  We were fighting, it damaged me, I had to shuffle around some internals to compensate for the damage, and.... lost track of the bridge. [12/7/2013 9:29:29 PM] Wynn (helmed): Wynn (helmed) doesn't understand much unless she can hit it with her stick. [12/7/2013 9:29:43 PM] Janis (Ranger): ...do we need to go over a stream? [12/7/2013 9:29:45 PM] Kestrel: Damaged? [12/7/2013 9:29:47 PM] Wynn (helmed): Do you have weapons then? [12/7/2013 9:29:49 PM] Lirasian Ares (Wizard): Well we should at least try to find it, see if it's still here somewhere. [12/7/2013 9:30:07 PM] Nation: Nation:  Sure. Not a lot but enough to defend myself. [12/7/2013 9:30:13 PM] Kestrel: Are there alternative methods of steering? [12/7/2013 9:30:24 PM] Graaver (Monk): (to Janis) I'm sure your Ranger skills will be quite useful in finding our goal. [12/7/2013 9:30:24 PM] Nation: Nation:  You need the bridge. [12/7/2013 9:31:00 PM] Kalor: ((Do I know of the Slavers?)) [12/7/2013 9:31:00 PM] Nation: Nation:  It'll take at least three hundred years to grow a new interface for you to use. [12/7/2013 9:31:14 PM] Nation: ((Roll K: Planes, Kalor.)) [12/7/2013 9:31:54 PM] Graaver (Monk): ((Thank St. Cuthbert for this genius wizard)) [12/7/2013 9:31:57 PM] Kestrel: All of us will not survive for that. ... but perhaps it would be best to begin anyway. [12/7/2013 9:32:13 PM] Nation: Nation:  ... all right. [12/7/2013 9:32:36 PM] Janis (Ranger): ((This is one hell of a pilot episode :) )) [12/7/2013 9:32:40 PM] Kalor: The neogi he speaks of are interplanar slavemasters. [12/7/2013 9:32:48 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): (no pun intended?) [12/7/2013 9:32:53 PM] Kalor: They keep Umber Hulks as pets. [12/7/2013 9:32:55 PM] Wynn (helmed): Slavers? [12/7/2013 9:32:59 PM] Kalor: Yes. [12/7/2013 9:33:12 PM] Kestrel: Would it be possible to make a mock-control... setup, for training purposes? [12/7/2013 9:33:28 PM] Wynn (helmed): Wynn (helmed) tenses up. [12/7/2013 9:33:35 PM] Nation: Nation:  ... I should be able to manage that. [12/7/2013 9:33:48 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Larry, Cleric (Adam) grimaces at the mention of slavers/slavery. [12/7/2013 9:34:06 PM] Kestrel: Perhaps one of the rooms could be dedicated to it. [12/7/2013 9:34:10 PM] Wynn (helmed): Perhaps I know why St. Cuthbert would have me here after all. [12/7/2013 9:34:58 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Indeed. Exploitation of the innocent is truly evil, and cannot be tolerated, no matter where we may be. [12/7/2013 9:35:30 PM] Janis (Ranger): Bad guys, I can handle. [12/7/2013 9:35:37 PM] Janis (Ranger): Janis (Ranger) grasps her bow and grins. [12/7/2013 9:35:51 PM] Kestrel: ... are schematics available? Would they assist? [12/7/2013 9:36:35 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): Nilani Adjarin (Rogue) wants to go exploring to hopefully find something to fix, but would rather explore with a friend strong enough to pull her off of an electrified cable before she forgot anything useful.

[12/7/2013 9:37:24 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): (Sense motive, to see if I get what Nilani is expressing) [12/7/2013 9:37:25 PM] Kestrel: Instruction manuals? A guide of some sort? [12/7/2013 9:37:28 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): ^_^ [12/7/2013 9:37:31 PM] Wynn (helmed): Go where? [12/7/2013 9:37:37 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): (11) [12/7/2013 9:37:37 PM] Janis (Ranger): I'm not strong but I can squeeze into small places and stuff.

[12/7/2013 9:38:05 PM] Wynn (helmed): If you are going somewhere, I will go as well. [12/7/2013 9:38:05 PM] Janis (Ranger): Janis (Ranger) ditto. [12/7/2013 9:38:12 PM] Nation: ((There's really no physical damage to repair that you can see.)) [12/7/2013 9:38:14 PM] Janis (Ranger): Ok, come on then! [12/7/2013 9:38:15 PM] Wynn (helmed): I am certainly no good here talking about schematics. [12/7/2013 9:38:24 PM] Nation: ((And I was thinking of wrapping up anyway.)) [12/7/2013 9:38:45 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Well, there's potentiallly danger wherever you may go looking for the bridge. [12/7/2013 9:38:45 PM] Raven  ThroneWatch: follows. [12/7/2013 9:38:50 PM] Kalor: ((Falling asleep here anyway)) [12/7/2013 9:39:00 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): It would be wise for me to come along. [12/7/2013 9:39:06 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Larry, Cleric (Adam) follows. [12/7/2013 9:39:19 PM] Janis (Ranger): ((Yeah, it sounds like we're setting up for another session anyhow)) [12/7/2013 9:39:24 PM] Kalor: I will aid you. [12/7/2013 9:39:35 PM] Kalor: Kalor follows Larry [12/7/2013 9:39:38 PM] Graaver (Monk): Those with fast minds should probably be working with Jarek.. Or Nation to figure out the technical side. [12/7/2013 9:40:09 PM] Kalor: You have a point. [12/7/2013 9:40:36 PM] Graaver (Monk): I think three or four is plenty to travel safely. [12/7/2013 9:40:39 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Well, I'm not one of them. I have a mace with which to drive home Pelor's righteousness, and His grace grants me the ability to heal wounds. [12/7/2013 9:40:51 PM] Kestrel: So. We split up. [12/7/2013 9:40:59 PM] Janis (Ranger): I'm better at finding things than thinking things. [12/7/2013 9:42:18 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): Nilani Adjarin (Rogue) would most likely do well in either capacity, but has been itching to explore this place since she woke up. [12/7/2013 9:42:20 PM] Wynn (helmed): I may not be very good at protecting others, but I am worse at figuring puzzles. [12/7/2013 9:43:04 PM] Nation: ((I'm pretty sure that no matter who playes next, there will be exploration, so I wouldn't overthink things. :) )) [12/7/2013 9:43:15 PM] Kestrel: I would not be helpful in either capacity. [12/7/2013 9:43:31 PM] Wynn (helmed): ((heh... I think it's more just a difficulty in turning off the characters)) [12/7/2013 9:43:53 PM] Wynn (helmed): ((we're going to stop for the night, then go role-play a getting to know you in the rooms... lol)) [12/7/2013 9:43:56 PM] Janis (Ranger): ((Look, the exploration camp is getting too big.  Janis would probably do fine in either one, but, from an RP standpoint, she won't switch on her own.  If someone can make an argument for her to stay with the other group, I will switch)) [12/7/2013 9:44:21 PM] Wynn (helmed): ((Where Janis goes, Wynn goes)) [12/7/2013 9:45:21 PM] Wynn (helmed): ((but I think what Nation is saying is that it doesn't matter who is in what group right now)) [12/7/2013 9:45:26 PM] Kalor: Well, someone with knowledge shoudl go with the exploration team as well. [12/7/2013 9:45:57 PM | Edited 9:46:17 PM] Nation: ((Yeah. I wanted everyone here in the first game, but from here on out, it's going to be more of an episodic 'when there are a majority of players situation'.)) [12/7/2013 9:45:59 PM] Graaver (Monk): I vote Kalor if we take a braniac. I liked his cups. [12/7/2013 9:46:00 PM] Kestrel: Perhaps we should rest for the ... night? and regroup in the morning. [12/7/2013 9:46:09 PM] Raven  ThroneWatch: Raven  ThroneWatch goes with what ever group asks him. [12/7/2013 9:46:28 PM] Janis (Ranger): ((Good idea, stopping now might be best)) [12/7/2013 9:46:31 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): Nilani Adjarin (Rogue) is glad that so many people offered to join her, but severely needs to rest, and recognizes that some of the others may be even more exhausted than she is. [12/7/2013 9:46:58 PM] Janis (Ranger): Come on, let's...*yawn*...let's...let's go... [12/7/2013 9:47:09 PM] Janis (Ranger): Janis (Ranger) head starts to droop.

[12/7/2013 9:49:00 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Larry, Cleric (Adam) takes an unoccupied room, removes armor, and prays again before sleeping. [12/7/2013 9:49:23 PM] Wynn (helmed): (to Janis) this might sound odd, but... would you mind if I slept here? On your floor? It would comfort me. [12/7/2013 9:49:59 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): Nilani Adjarin (Rogue) sits in a well-hidden corner, wraps her cloak around her. and slips into a trance. [12/7/2013 9:50:13 PM] Janis (Ranger): ...that does sound weird...I think I'm fine on my own, thanks... [12/7/2013 9:50:18 PM] Nation: ((There are also beds!)) [12/7/2013 9:50:37 PM] Janis (Ranger): You can get the bottom bunk if you're afraid to sleep alone. [12/7/2013 9:50:53 PM] Wynn (helmed): ((Is it a bunk bed? lol)) [12/7/2013 9:50:59 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): ((elves meditate, they don't sleep)) [12/7/2013 9:51:03 PM] Graaver (Monk): ((Laughs in his sleep, obviously hearing Janis)) [12/7/2013 9:51:05 PM] Nation: ((Well, no, no bunk beds.)) [12/7/2013 9:51:14 PM] Nation: ((doesn't mean they don't like to use beds to do so!)) [12/7/2013 9:51:24 PM] Janis (Ranger): ((Awe, come on)) [12/7/2013 9:51:28 PM] Wynn (helmed): I am not afraid! (indignantly) [12/7/2013 9:51:39 PM] Janis (Ranger): ((Can't Nation make a bunkbed)) [12/7/2013 9:51:51 PM] Nation: ((takes time!)) [12/7/2013 9:52:08 PM] Wynn (helmed): But I understand. Sleep well, Janis. [12/7/2013 9:52:22 PM] Janis (Ranger): Good night Wynn. Nice meeting you. [12/7/2013 9:52:23 PM] Kestrel: ((I've had elves lie down to trance, sit up to trance, curl up in a nest to trance, and trance with opened eyes. It's all up in the air!))
