[12/18/2013 8:52:57 PM] Kestrel: All right, where the hell were we? [12/18/2013 8:53:22 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Just offed a vampire, and had Nation drop the bodies in the core. [12/18/2013 8:53:39 PM] ???: ((Well, into his positive energy tanks.)) [12/18/2013 8:53:43 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): And Wynn has the equipment. [12/18/2013 8:53:50 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): Nilani Adjarin (Rogue) is rather shaken [12/18/2013 8:54:02 PM] Kestrel: Right. We'll just pick up right there. You're all in the galley. [12/18/2013 8:54:19 PM] Janis (Ranger): ((So, we didn't sleep between Vampire and now?)) [12/18/2013 8:54:57 PM] Kestrel: Nope. [12/18/2013 8:54:59 PM] Wynn (no armor): ((I only have the first chunk of stuff. Who had the other set? I don't recall wha was inside)) [12/18/2013 8:55:19 PM] Kestrel: You can either discuss what to do with the goods, or just chat, or eat, or argue. [12/18/2013 8:55:32 PM] Wynn (no armor): I'd like to discuss the items that were on the vampire. [12/18/2013 8:55:34 PM] Kestrel: You wanted to RP without the DM, so this is your chance to RP with the DM but have a bit of a moment. [12/18/2013 8:55:40 PM] Janis (Ranger): Janis (Ranger) is putting the finishing touches on her mended bowstring [12/18/2013 8:55:41 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): As would I. [12/18/2013 8:56:17 PM] Wynn (no armor): I propose holding half the gold for group goods, like food, and splitting the rest equally. Nation, if he would like, will also count for a share. [12/18/2013 8:56:30 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): If no one minds, I would like the vampire's mace, so as to purify it, and bring the blinding light of Pelor to our foes. [12/18/2013 8:56:32 PM] Wynn (no armor): Items can go to those who need them, and be sold when possible to add to the gold stores. [12/18/2013 8:56:49 PM] Janis (Ranger): I'd like the armor! [12/18/2013 8:56:58 PM] Kestrel: Kestrel stays quiet.

[12/18/2013 8:57:28 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): Nilani Adjarin (Rogue) is fine with her current equipment, and makes no attempt to claim anything [12/18/2013 8:57:33 PM] Janis (Ranger): ((Just to be sure I'm right, how much of a bonus does Masterwork armor give?)) [12/18/2013 8:57:37 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): ((Both leather armors were masterwork.)) [12/18/2013 8:57:47 PM] ???: (Effectively nothing, with leather.)) [12/18/2013 8:57:57 PM] Wynn (no armor): There were two masterwork leathers, a mace, a longsword and 300 gp total [12/18/2013 8:58:09 PM] Wynn (no armor): and a knife [12/18/2013 8:58:21 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): ((All weapons were masterwork too, right?)) [12/18/2013 8:58:24 PM] Kestrel: Kestrel finds some of the fruit left over from breakfast, and nibbles it. [12/18/2013 8:59:24 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): Nilani Adjarin (Rogue) looks around for a kettle, cups, and tea leaves of some sort. [12/18/2013 8:59:25 PM] Janis (Ranger): ((Well, it at least removes my armor check penalty)) [12/18/2013 8:59:41 PM] Janis (Ranger): Janis (Ranger) gives her new bow string some experimental twangs [12/18/2013 8:59:47 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): ((Regular leather doesn't have a check penalty.)) [12/18/2013 9:00:01 PM] Janis (Ranger): ((Then I have gained nothing!)) [12/18/2013 9:00:17 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): ((Yep, it's just pretty.)) [12/18/2013 9:00:34 PM] Wynn (no armor): Then that leaves 20 gp each, including Nation, and I will hold 130 in safekeeping until it is needed. [12/18/2013 9:00:54 PM] Janis (Ranger): Why shouldn't nation hold the money? [12/18/2013 9:01:26 PM] Wynn (no armor): Nation, do you have a vault? [12/18/2013 9:01:30 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Also, I am happy to relinquish my silver mace for sale at an appropriate time, if the party is willing to allow me the mace. [12/18/2013 9:01:34 PM] ???: Nation:  I have no need for your vulgar moneys. [12/18/2013 9:02:13 PM] Janis (Ranger): I think you can have the mace. [12/18/2013 9:02:37 PM] Wynn (no armor): Were there any takers for the other equipment? If not, we can hold it in the training room. [12/18/2013 9:02:47 PM] Lira the Wiz (Maident): Fine with me. [12/18/2013 9:03:17 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Thank you, friends. I shall wield it in your defense. [12/18/2013 9:03:48 PM] Janis (Ranger): Janis (Ranger) grabs one of the sets of armor [12/18/2013 9:03:51 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Larry, Cleric (Adam) exchanges the silver mace for the masterwork mace. [12/18/2013 9:04:40 PM] Janis (Ranger): Maybe we should leave a watch by the pod room from now on. [12/18/2013 9:04:42 PM] Wynn (no armor): Very well. I'll go put these in the training room, then. [12/18/2013 9:05:00 PM] Wynn (no armor): Wynn (no armor) goes! [12/18/2013 9:05:18 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): Nilani Adjarin (Rogue) could not locate tea leaves. She sits down and starts scrawling something on a slate. [12/18/2013 9:05:18 PM] Janis (Ranger): In case something dangerous comes out like last time. [12/18/2013 9:05:22 PM] Wynn (visor up): Wynn (visor up) has had armor on this whole time! [12/18/2013 9:06:18 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): ~guys, I think I have something I had better tell you before a similar situation comes up. [12/18/2013 9:06:33 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): What is it, friend Nilani? [12/18/2013 9:06:57 PM] Janis (Ranger): ((Wait, is she speaking common right now?)) [12/18/2013 9:07:04 PM] Wynn (visor up): ((wrote it on her paper)) [12/18/2013 9:07:05 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): ((Writing it, I thought.)) [12/18/2013 9:07:10 PM] Janis (Ranger): ((Ah, ok)) [12/18/2013 9:07:26 PM] Wynn (visor up): Wynn (visor up) returns [12/18/2013 9:08:16 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): ~you may have noticed how unnecessarily hostile I was towards the vampire. This is because I was reminded of something which happened about five years ago. [12/18/2013 9:08:40 PM] Lira the Wiz (Maident): Lira the Wiz (Maident) looks over at Wynn. "Thanks for having my back." [12/18/2013 9:08:58 PM] Wynn (visor up): I don't think any amount of hostility was unnecessary regarding the vampire, but go on. [12/18/2013 9:09:17 PM] Wynn (visor up): Wynn (visor up) smiles at Lira. "My pleasure." [12/18/2013 9:09:41 PM] Kestrel: It was not a friendly vampire. [12/18/2013 9:10:08 PM] Wynn (visor up): ((I was going to ask if Kestrel was here or not)) [12/18/2013 9:10:13 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): ~The story would make no sense if I did not tell you that ten years before that, I entered a guild, but was having trouble keeping my membership, as I had no real skills that they found useful. [12/18/2013 9:10:39 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): ~It was then that I met a kobold named Gamphrey. [12/18/2013 9:11:10 PM] Kalor: ((Oh crap, I didn't realize you had started)) [12/18/2013 9:11:34 PM] Kalor: ((Anyhow, it's too late for me, I'm going to bed now, g'night)) [12/18/2013 9:11:35 PM] Wynn (visor up): ((You got 20 gp, Kalor)) [12/18/2013 9:11:40 PM] Lira the Wiz (Maident): ((Night Kalor)) [12/18/2013 9:11:45 PM] Wynn (visor up): ((night)) [12/18/2013 9:11:50 PM] Kestrel: ((G'night!)) [12/18/2013 9:11:57 PM] Janis (Ranger): ((Night)) [12/18/2013 9:12:02 PM] ???: ((gnight!)) [12/18/2013 9:12:11 PM] Wynn (visor up): ((hehe ???)) [12/18/2013 9:13:40 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): ~He seemed to like me, and helped me develop my talents as an infiltrator. After awhile, we were about equal in skill. We had a great partnership going. He could squeeze into small places to grab things I missed, and I could pick him up and run swiftly when things went wrong. [12/18/2013 9:14:14 PM] Janis (Ranger): These stories usually end with a "but" [12/18/2013 9:14:38 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): ~Unfortunately, one day we were hired to raid the tower of a prominant mage. [12/18/2013 9:14:58 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): ~whom we discovered was a member of the undead. [12/18/2013 9:15:11 PM] Kestrel: ((Everyone roll Notice, if you don't mind.)) [12/18/2013 9:15:19 PM] Lira the Wiz (Maident): ((23)) [12/18/2013 9:15:22 PM] Lira the Wiz (Maident): He was a vampire? [12/18/2013 9:15:30 PM] Janis (Ranger): ((24)) [12/18/2013 9:15:41 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): (( 8 )) [12/18/2013 9:16:02 PM] Kestrel: Undead can be agreeable. Many are not. [12/18/2013 9:16:06 PM] Wynn (visor up): ((14)) [12/18/2013 9:16:26 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): ((19)) [12/18/2013 9:18:17 PM | Edited 9:18:48 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): ~He attacked us, and we were separated. I was unable to return for awhile, but eventually came back with another infiltrator and found Gamphrey's body on an altar in the basement. [12/18/2013 9:18:54 PM] Janis (Ranger): That's terrible! [12/18/2013 9:19:05 PM] Wynn (visor up): The undead are despicable creatures. [12/18/2013 9:19:10 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): ~that's not even the worst part. [12/18/2013 9:19:15 PM] Wynn (visor up): Particularly the intelligent ones. [12/18/2013 9:20:25 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): ~He had been attacked with a variety of weapons, blunt weapons, blades, he even had a crossbow bolt or two in his side. [12/18/2013 9:21:14 PM] Wynn (visor up): Wynn (visor up) places a hand of comfort on Nilani's shoulder. [12/18/2013 9:21:58 PM] Kestrel: Undead can be agreeable. [12/18/2013 9:22:24 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): ~his face, in particular, had been smashed in. It looked as if he had been healed multiple times, to keep him alive and able to feel pain. As I stared at him, he started to move. [12/18/2013 9:23:13 PM] Wynn (visor up): Wynn (visor up) scowls [12/18/2013 9:23:28 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Larry, Cleric (Adam) reads on, horrified. [12/18/2013 9:24:08 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): ~he shambled towards me, and at first I was overjoyed that he was alive, but worried and almost told him to stop moving before he ripped open his wounds, but then I noticed a mark upon his neck. [12/18/2013 9:24:18 PM] Wynn (visor up): Healing magic used for evil is more despicable than simple destruction. [12/18/2013 9:24:21 PM] Lira the Wiz (Maident): He was a vampire? [12/18/2013 9:24:29 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): Nilani Adjarin (Rogue) nods [12/18/2013 9:24:29 PM] Janis (Ranger): What kind of mark?!? [12/18/2013 9:24:36 PM] Janis (Ranger): Oh. [12/18/2013 9:25:06 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): ... [12/18/2013 9:25:09 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): ~he then tried to attack. I had no choice but to kill him... [12/18/2013 9:25:35 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): ~as I finished, the other infiltrator found me in the basement. [12/18/2013 9:26:12 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): ~They thought I had killed him, hoping to fill the seat Gamphrey left. [12/18/2013 9:27:03 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): ~I was lucky to escape the town with my life, as all of my former comerades tried to hunt me down. [12/18/2013 9:27:19 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Friend Nilani... [12/18/2013 9:27:20 PM] Kestrel: There's a sudden clatter from the corridor outside the galley. [12/18/2013 9:27:30 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): Nilani Adjarin (Rogue) whirls around [12/18/2013 9:27:40 PM] Lira the Wiz (Maident): Lira the Wiz (Maident) looks in that direction with alarm!

[12/18/2013 9:28:31 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): Nilani Adjarin (Rogue) gets up and unsheathes her rapier, holding it behind her leg, out of view. [12/18/2013 9:28:51 PM] Wynn (visor up): Wynn (visor up) moves to the door [12/18/2013 9:29:23 PM] ???: Um, yes. Hello, potential kidnappers! [12/18/2013 9:29:35 PM] Kestrel: Another voice: Please don't hurt us? [12/18/2013 9:29:39 PM] Janis (Ranger): Are you a vampire? [12/18/2013 9:29:42 PM] Lira the Wiz (Maident): ((can you describe the people?)) [12/18/2013 9:29:49 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): Nilani Adjarin (Rogue) looks a bit relieved [12/18/2013 9:30:01 PM] Kestrel: Woman's voice, still outside the room: Are you? [12/18/2013 9:30:11 PM] Wynn (visor up): Wynn (visor up) steps into the hall. [12/18/2013 9:30:15 PM] Janis (Ranger): I asked you first! [12/18/2013 9:30:16 PM] ???: [Wednesday, December 18, 2013 9:00 PM] Jhett:

<<< ??? is himself a good looking if pale fellow with silvery hair, golden eyes, a long coat, and a scarf. The skin of his forhead and temples seem to be composed of a lot of very fine, irridescent green scales that seem to turn into normal skin. His ears are slightly pointed, but he doesn't seem elvish. [12/18/2013 9:30:17 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): No, we are pure of body and soul. [12/18/2013 9:30:23 PM] Kestrel: Woman: I asked you second! [12/18/2013 9:30:32 PM] Kestrel: Kestrel eyes Larry. [12/18/2013 9:30:35 PM] ???: He is currently bending over to pick up a violin case he dropped. [12/18/2013 9:30:50 PM] Lira the Wiz (Maident): We're not kidnappers... whoever you are... [12/18/2013 9:30:59 PM] ???: I can only speak for myself when I say that I am not a vampire. [12/18/2013 9:30:59 PM] Wynn (visor up): I assume you just woke up? [12/18/2013 9:31:19 PM] Wynn (visor up): Please, enter the room and be seated. [12/18/2013 9:31:26 PM] Kestrel: There's a woman behind him brandishing a little knife; she's short, slim, has long orange hair in waves, and she has elfy ears and pale skin with lots of freckles. [12/18/2013 9:31:30 PM] Janis (Ranger): Janis (Ranger) holds the bow steady. [12/18/2013 9:31:31 PM] Wynn (visor up): There is much we must tell you and much we would have answered. [12/18/2013 9:31:35 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): Nilani Adjarin (Rogue) looks inquisitively at the newcomers [12/18/2013 9:31:46 PM] ???: Okay, how about we all stop brandishing. [12/18/2013 9:31:53 PM] Kestrel: Woman: Who *did* kidnap us, then? Oh, right. [12/18/2013 9:31:58 PM] Wynn (visor up): ((wynn has no weapons or shield out atm)) [12/18/2013 9:32:08 PM] Kestrel: The woman hands the knife back to the man.

[12/18/2013 9:32:42 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Larry, Cleric (Adam) probably put the mace away when I got it. [12/18/2013 9:32:47 PM] Wynn (visor up): I am Wynn, Paladin of St. Cuthbert, and so long as you pose no danger to our group, we are no danger to you.

[12/18/2013 9:34:04 PM] Wynn (visor up): One of our companions can find you something to eat. [12/18/2013 9:34:06 PM] ???: ... I'm Jhett. Street musician and malcontent from Oosentia. [12/18/2013 9:34:12 PM] Kestrel: Silver smiles tentatively. She looks nervous. [12/18/2013 9:34:25 PM | Removed 9:34:58 PM] Janis (Ranger): This message has been removed. [12/18/2013 9:34:50 PM] Jhett: ((He's not, it's wrapped around his neck right now.)) [12/18/2013 9:34:54 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): Nilani Adjarin (Rogue) holds out a scrap of paper. it reads: Nilani Adjarin             Infiltrator-Retriever of Lost Items- Good Listener [12/18/2013 9:35:07 PM] Janis (Ranger): ((Sorry, misinterpreted that)) [12/18/2013 9:35:17 PM] Jhett: Jhett nods at Nilani, and moves for a seat. [12/18/2013 9:35:24 PM] Kestrel: Silver: Oh, good listeners are always nice to have around. [12/18/2013 9:35:36 PM] Janis (Ranger): Janis (Ranger) sits down and places her bow in her lap [12/18/2013 9:35:55 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): From where do you hail, friend Silver? [12/18/2013 9:35:58 PM] Kestrel: Silver sits as well; her feet are bare on the kitchen floor. [12/18/2013 9:36:05 PM] Wynn (visor up): Were you the only two that awoke with you? [12/18/2013 9:36:29 PM] Kestrel: Silver: Home. I live in the woods, really... the wilderness. I'm not... really very used to people anymore. [12/18/2013 9:36:30 PM] Janis (Ranger): Janis (Ranger) looks at Silver's feet. [12/18/2013 9:36:39 PM] Jhett: Yes. We saw the empty pod-things, but no one else was in there. [12/18/2013 9:36:56 PM] Janis (Ranger): (To Silver) Aren't you cold? [12/18/2013 9:36:57 PM] Wynn (visor up): Wynn (visor up) is standing by the open door. [12/18/2013 9:37:08 PM] Kestrel: Silver: We heard your voices. Oh, no, not at all. Should I be? Is it cold in here? [12/18/2013 9:37:14 PM] Wynn (visor up): We have not long been awake ourselves. [12/18/2013 9:37:45 PM] Kestrel: Kestrel: No. [12/18/2013 9:37:49 PM] Wynn (visor up): If Kalor had not already retired for the evening, I'm sure he would love to tell the tale of our current adventure. [12/18/2013 9:37:51 PM] Jhett: So, you're not the kidnappers. [12/18/2013 9:37:56 PM] Wynn (visor up): No. [12/18/2013 9:38:11 PM] Kestrel: Silver: Who *is*? [12/18/2013 9:38:16 PM] Kestrel: Silver: Do you know? [12/18/2013 9:38:20 PM] Lira the Wiz (Maident): It's a bit hard to explain... [12/18/2013 9:38:20 PM] Janis (Ranger): Janis (Ranger) shrugs [12/18/2013 9:38:24 PM] Wynn (visor up): We were all brought here to help fix the ship we are now on. [12/18/2013 9:38:35 PM] Jhett: Ship? [12/18/2013 9:38:50 PM] Wynn (visor up): It's a bit much to swallow at once. [12/18/2013 9:38:52 PM] Kestrel: Silver picks up an orange and sniffs at it, and then starts peeling it with her fingernails. [12/18/2013 9:38:58 PM] Janis (Ranger): It's called Nation. But sometimes, it's a half-elf named Jerkface. [12/18/2013 9:39:12 PM] Lira the Wiz (Maident): Lira the Wiz (Maident) hides a snicker. [12/18/2013 9:39:23 PM] Wynn (visor up): Wynn (visor up) smiles, but quickly hides it. [12/18/2013 9:39:44 PM] Kestrel: Silver: ... it's a ship and a half-elf? [12/18/2013 9:39:53 PM] Wynn (visor up): Nation? You could have warned us we had guests! [12/18/2013 9:40:01 PM] Janis (Ranger): It's like a cup and ball and stuff. [12/18/2013 9:40:27 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Again, friend Kalor would be best at explaining it, but apparently we're lost, hilariously far from home, in between planes. [12/18/2013 9:40:32 PM] Wynn (visor up): We don't know who took us, or why it chose us. All we know is that to get home, we must fix the ship. [12/18/2013 9:40:47 PM] Jhett: Nation:  I'm not your secretary. [12/18/2013 9:40:57 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): Nilani Adjarin (Rogue) grins [12/18/2013 9:41:08 PM] Wynn (visor up): Also, that sometimes evil creatures come from those pods and that Nation told us HE WOULD LET US KNOW IF ANYONE ELSE CAME OUT! [12/18/2013 9:41:51 PM] Kestrel: Silver winces. So does Kestrel. [12/18/2013 9:41:54 PM] Jhett: Nation:  How about you continually calculate the minute pico-corrections required to keep you all from imploding, then I'll watch the door. [12/18/2013 9:41:54 PM] Janis (Ranger): That's why I said we should post a guard. (mutters) Not that anyone was listening. [12/18/2013 9:42:08 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): Nilani Adjarin (Rogue) covers her ears [12/18/2013 9:42:13 PM] Wynn (visor up): Wynn (visor up) rolls her eyes. [12/18/2013 9:42:20 PM] Kestrel: Kestrel: I was listening. [12/18/2013 9:42:35 PM] Kestrel: Silver, nervously: Maybe we shouldn't fight. [12/18/2013 9:42:36 PM] Wynn (visor up): Then do not mention that you know when someone uses the door if you aren't going to use that knowledge to help us. [12/18/2013 9:42:58 PM] Wynn (visor up): I was under the assumption that Nation would tell us when the door was used so that we would not need a guard. [12/18/2013 9:43:15 PM] Jhett: ... well. This is tense. I'm picking up on tension. [12/18/2013 9:43:22 PM] Kestrel: Silver: You don't need a guard against me. I mean... you don't, really. [12/18/2013 9:43:31 PM] Janis (Ranger): Sorry. There was a vampire. We're still a little off. [12/18/2013 9:43:33 PM] Wynn (visor up): It is not you we are worried about. [12/18/2013 9:43:35 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Friend Wynn is upset because the second to last creature to come from a pod was a vampire. The last became its victim. [12/18/2013 9:43:54 PM] Lira the Wiz (Maident): It's been a long day for us. [12/18/2013 9:43:56 PM] Janis (Ranger): Or maybe it was the other way around. We're not entirely sure. [12/18/2013 9:44:15 PM] Kestrel: Silver: Well I'm definitely not a vampire. [12/18/2013 9:44:15 PM] Jhett: Ohh. Well, i'm not a vampire. [12/18/2013 9:44:22 PM] Kestrel: Silver: See? He's not either. [12/18/2013 9:44:24 PM] Wynn (visor up): ((Detect evil!)) [12/18/2013 9:44:26 PM] Kestrel: Silver starts eating the orange. [12/18/2013 9:44:41 PM] Wynn (visor up): ((damn... i'm getting off my game here... lol)) [12/18/2013 9:44:54 PM] Jhett: Jhett is not hungry at the moment. "Say, is there any alcohol?  I suspect that might help." [12/18/2013 9:45:26 PM] Kestrel: Kestrel nods. "Top shelf." [12/18/2013 9:45:45 PM] Kestrel: She points to one of the cupboards. [12/18/2013 9:45:47 PM] Jhett: All right then. [12/18/2013 9:45:54 PM] Lira the Wiz (Maident): Lira the Wiz (Maident) senses the scarved fellow's motive! [12/18/2013 9:45:57 PM] Jhett: Jhett moves over to the cupboards! [12/18/2013 9:46:02 PM] Lira the Wiz (Maident): (music) [12/18/2013 9:46:48 PM] Janis (Ranger): ((Can I use S/M to figure out what Silver is, or if there's anything weird with her?)) [12/18/2013 9:47:02 PM] Jhett: So. Wynn, Larry, and Nilani. How about the rest of you? [12/18/2013 9:47:07 PM] Jhett: Jhett pours himself something. [12/18/2013 9:47:14 PM] Kestrel: It would be Notice to observe anything off, and SM to observe anything about behavior. [12/18/2013 9:47:22 PM] Janis (Ranger): (y) [12/18/2013 9:47:23 PM] Kestrel: Kestrel: Kestrel. [12/18/2013 9:47:38 PM] Janis (Ranger): ((23 Notice)) [12/18/2013 9:47:40 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): ((Kestrel Kestrel Kestrel.)) [12/18/2013 9:47:42 PM | Edited 9:47:49 PM] Lira the Wiz (Maident): Lira the Wiz (Maident) makes an elven sign of respect. "Lira" [12/18/2013 9:47:45 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): ((Notice, 26)) [12/18/2013 9:48:02 PM] Lira the Wiz (Maident): ((8 notice)) [12/18/2013 9:48:12 PM] Jhett: How about the archer? [12/18/2013 9:48:16 PM] Jhett: Jhett looks at Janis. [12/18/2013 9:48:34 PM] Janis (Ranger): .......Janis...... [12/18/2013 9:48:43 PM] Jhett: Okay. [12/18/2013 9:48:48 PM] Wynn (visor up): There are a few others in their rooms as well. [12/18/2013 9:48:50 PM] Janis (Ranger): You're not an elf. [12/18/2013 9:48:59 PM] Jhett: I never said I was. [12/18/2013 9:49:08 PM] Janis (Ranger): What's with the scales? [12/18/2013 9:49:14 PM] Kestrel: Kestrel: Elfishness is not required. [12/18/2013 9:49:18 PM] Jhett: That seems like a personal question. [12/18/2013 9:49:25 PM] Jhett: What's with the hair? [12/18/2013 9:49:25 PM] Janis (Ranger): Ok. [12/18/2013 9:49:32 PM] Janis (Ranger): It's brown and curly. [12/18/2013 9:49:41 PM] Janis (Ranger): That's not an answer. [12/18/2013 9:49:56 PM] Jhett: Some people have pointy ears, some people have scales. [12/18/2013 9:50:12 PM] Wynn (visor up): Most of us have seen pointy ears, though [12/18/2013 9:50:14 PM] Kestrel: Silver: Dragonblooded people and some demonbloods have scales. [12/18/2013 9:50:20 PM] Janis (Ranger): Janis (Ranger) nods [12/18/2013 9:50:26 PM] Jhett: True. [12/18/2013 9:50:46 PM] Kestrel: Silver: I had a... a friend once with very beautiful silver scales. [12/18/2013 9:51:15 PM] Wynn (visor up): Well, Jhett, Silver, we were just listening... err, reading... a tale from Nilani, if she'd like to finish. [12/18/2013 9:51:33 PM] Jhett: Ahhh. I was wondering why we were only hearing half the conversation. [12/18/2013 9:51:40 PM] Jhett: I was wondering if there was a telepath. [12/18/2013 9:51:42 PM] Kestrel: There are a bunch of bottles on that top shelf, by the way--some of them are wines, brandies, some harder liquors. [12/18/2013 9:51:49 PM] Janis (Ranger): No. Nilani just doesn't talk. [12/18/2013 9:51:57 PM] Janis (Ranger): I think it's an elf-y thing. [12/18/2013 9:51:58 PM | Edited 9:52:07 PM] Kestrel: Kestrel: Talking is also not required. [12/18/2013 9:52:37 PM] Wynn (visor up): Kestrel, I believe you mentioned a dulcimer before. Perhaps some music after Nilani is finished would be the way to dissipate some of this tension. [12/18/2013 9:53:14 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): Nilani Adjarin (Rogue) resumes writing [12/18/2013 9:53:22 PM] Jhett: Jhett pours some brandy. [12/18/2013 9:53:59 PM] Kestrel: Kestrel: ... not in front of strangers. [12/18/2013 9:54:27 PM] Janis (Ranger): ...aren't we all strangers? [12/18/2013 9:54:28 PM] Wynn (visor up): ... ok. [12/18/2013 9:54:33 PM] Kestrel: Silver: You seem nice. I mean... you'd never try to burn somebody to death, would you? [12/18/2013 9:54:46 PM] Janis (Ranger): Are they a troll? [12/18/2013 9:54:56 PM] Jhett: Apparently someone once tried to set Silver on fire. [12/18/2013 9:54:57 PM] Kestrel: Silver: Oh my no. Not at all. [12/18/2013 9:54:58 PM] Wynn (visor up): ((who?)) [12/18/2013 9:55:06 PM] Janis (Ranger): Probably not then. [12/18/2013 9:55:14 PM] Kestrel: Silver: I mean, I don't seem like a troll, do I? [12/18/2013 9:55:16 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): ~I am finished with that sordid tale, I believed that sharing it would help me come to terms with my past misfortune. It would be a pity if I projected my hatred for a particular vampire upon the entirety of all undead beings. [12/18/2013 9:55:29 PM] Janis (Ranger): Do either of you know any elves? [12/18/2013 9:55:34 PM] Wynn (visor up): I don't think it would be a pity at all, Nilani. [12/18/2013 9:55:51 PM] Jhett: Jhett reads the slateboard. "Not all undead are bad." [12/18/2013 9:55:53 PM] Kestrel: Kestrel, stubbornly: Some undead are acceptable. [12/18/2013 9:56:04 PM] Lira the Wiz (Maident): Lira the Wiz (Maident) looks at Kestrel oddly. [12/18/2013 9:56:05 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): Nilani Adjarin (Rogue) sets down the paper, stows the chalk in a pouch, and breathes a relieved sigh. [12/18/2013 9:56:09 PM] Wynn (visor up): Well, when you find one, let me know. [12/18/2013 9:56:18 PM] Wynn (visor up): I'll be back momentarily. [12/18/2013 9:56:21 PM] Lira the Wiz (Maident): Have you ever met any acceptable undead? [12/18/2013 9:56:22 PM] Kestrel: Kestrel: I roomed with a vampire at the Academy. [12/18/2013 9:56:35 PM] Wynn (visor up): Wynn (visor up) goes to her room for a moment. [12/18/2013 9:57:06 PM] Lira the Wiz (Maident): And I assume they fed on...? [12/18/2013 9:57:16 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): While I believe in compassion above all, I have no tolerance for such abominations. [12/18/2013 9:57:30 PM] Kestrel: Kestrel: Volunteers. [12/18/2013 9:57:42 PM] Jhett: What makes them abominations? [12/18/2013 9:57:47 PM] Lira the Wiz (Maident): Lira the Wiz (Maident) scowls. [12/18/2013 9:58:01 PM] Wynn (visor up): Wynn (visor up) returns in a simple green shirt and brown pants and sets her shield and mace against the wall near the door. [12/18/2013 9:58:48 PM] Wynn (visor up): Wynn (visor up) looks incredibly younger, smaller, and less intimidating without the armor on. [12/18/2013 10:00:20 PM] Kestrel: Silver: ... vampires are so odd, aren't they? They drink blood so people get quite upset about them, but after all, other people eat meat, and it's not very *much* different really at all. [12/18/2013 10:00:36 PM] Lira the Wiz (Maident): They turn others into vampires. [12/18/2013 10:00:39 PM] Lira the Wiz (Maident): Sometimes, not willingly. [12/18/2013 10:00:40 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Evil, and the abominations which stemmed from it, began when the people turned away from Pelor's teachings. Thus, such creatures, in my eyes, are abominations. Would that I could provide them comfort and salvtion... [12/18/2013 10:01:00 PM] Janis (Ranger): I think people don't like it when they drink blood from THEM. [12/18/2013 10:01:16 PM] Janis (Ranger): If they drank animal blood, it probably'd be ok. [12/18/2013 10:01:17 PM] Kestrel: Silver: Well, yes, but the deer don't like it much when you eat them, either, do they? [12/18/2013 10:01:27 PM] Janis (Ranger): Janis (Ranger) shrugs [12/18/2013 10:01:32 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): ((So I (Adam) don't have a copy of The Light of Pelor handy, or I'd try to give a better response.)) [12/18/2013 10:01:32 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): Nilani Adjarin (Rogue) nods [12/18/2013 10:01:38 PM] Janis (Ranger): You need to be very respectful when you do it. [12/18/2013 10:01:41 PM] Wynn (no armor): People don't generally eat meat from intelligent creatures [12/18/2013 10:02:16 PM] Kestrel: Silver: How intelligent is "intelligent," though? [12/18/2013 10:02:25 PM] Wynn (no armor): ((about an 8 or so... lol)) [12/18/2013 10:02:26 PM] Lira the Wiz (Maident): The difference is it's sometimes drinking blood of your own kin... or worse. [12/18/2013 10:02:29 PM] Kestrel: Silver: ... it might not be *quite* as clear-cut as you'd think. [12/18/2013 10:02:38 PM] Jhett: Jhett sips his brandy! [12/18/2013 10:02:48 PM] Kestrel: Silver: That's all. Though of course vampires are rather awful. They smell. [12/18/2013 10:02:54 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Also, that which is naturally opposed to The Sun finds no favor with me. [12/18/2013 10:02:59 PM | Edited 10:03:25 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): Nilani Adjarin (Rogue) grins in response to silver's statement. [12/18/2013 10:03:07 PM] Wynn (no armor): I have no desire to argue further tonight. [12/18/2013 10:03:15 PM] Janis (Ranger): Janis (Ranger) stands up [12/18/2013 10:03:29 PM] Jhett: Anyway, none of us are vampires anyway. [12/18/2013 10:03:32 PM] Kestrel: Nation: Since you made such a big stink about me not alerting you, you should know that something just came in from the cylinder room. It seems to be on fire and quadrapedal. [12/18/2013 10:03:40 PM] Janis (Ranger): Janis (Ranger) heads for the door [12/18/2013 10:03:41 PM] Wynn (no armor): Damnation. [12/18/2013 10:03:47 PM] Wynn (no armor): And damn Nation. [12/18/2013 10:03:50 PM] Lira the Wiz (Maident): Lira the Wiz (Maident) heads for that direction [12/18/2013 10:03:51 PM] Janis (Ranger): Janis (Ranger) runs for the room [12/18/2013 10:03:54 PM] Kestrel: Silver turns white. [12/18/2013 10:03:57 PM] Wynn (no armor): Wynn (no armor) grabs her shield and mace and heads for the room [12/18/2013 10:03:58 PM] Kestrel: Pause. [12/18/2013 10:04:03 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): Nilani Adjarin (Rogue) sighs, grabs her rapier, and heads out. [12/18/2013 10:04:12 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): ((Rolling notice to see if I catch Silver's reaction.)) [12/18/2013 10:04:13 PM] Wynn (no armor): ((DM says pause!)) [12/18/2013 10:04:20 PM] Janis (Ranger): ((Heh, Damn Nation, I see what you did there)) [12/18/2013 10:04:24 PM] Lira the Wiz (Maident): :D [12/18/2013 10:04:28 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): (OOH, 24!)) [12/18/2013 10:04:39 PM] Kestrel: Janis makes it through the door first, followed by Lira, Wynn, and Nilani. [12/18/2013 10:04:56 PM] Kestrel: Sure, Larry catches it; she's not exactly trying to hide that she's frightened. [12/18/2013 10:05:06 PM] Kestrel: Are Larry and Jhett following? [12/18/2013 10:05:09 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): (just wanted to ensure I wasn't oblivious.) [12/18/2013 10:05:12 PM] Jhett: Jhett goes, yes! [12/18/2013 10:05:28 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Friend Silver, are you alright? Do you know what this creature may be? [12/18/2013 10:05:52 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): (Are we still on pause? Because it seemed like the pause didn't happen.) [12/18/2013 10:05:57 PM] Kestrel: Still paused. [12/18/2013 10:06:12 PM] Kestrel: I'm making a diagram briefly. Sorry. [12/18/2013 10:06:17 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Cool. [12/18/2013 10:06:40 PM] Janis (Ranger): ((Can I use something to see if Silver recognizes it?  S/M or Notice?)) [12/18/2013 10:07:14 PM] Kestrel: Um, when the fight is over. [12/18/2013 10:07:17 PM] Kestrel: Roll initiative. [12/18/2013 10:07:19 PM] Janis (Ranger): (y) [12/18/2013 10:07:21 PM] Wynn (no armor): ((I knew something else was going to pop out if I took my armor off)) [12/18/2013 10:07:32 PM] Lira the Wiz (Maident): ((16 init)) [12/18/2013 10:07:41 PM] Wynn (no armor): ((15)) [12/18/2013 10:07:49 PM] Kestrel: Because as you all reach the hallway, you find a furious-looking, frothing, fire-breathing dog of monstrous proportions, with fangs dripping little gobbets of fire. [12/18/2013 10:07:50 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): ((11)) [12/18/2013 10:07:58 PM] Jhett: (( 6 )) [12/18/2013 10:08:02 PM] Wynn (no armor): Oh boy. SIT! [12/18/2013 10:08:09 PM] Lira the Wiz (Maident): ((lol!)) [12/18/2013 10:08:30 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): ((Do I get an answer, or should I roll out and roll?)) [12/18/2013 10:08:36 PM] Kestrel: Talking has to be on your turn, I'm afraid. [12/18/2013 10:08:41 PM] Janis (Ranger): ((Can I use handle animal?)) [12/18/2013 10:08:51 PM] Kestrel: Well. Potentially efficacious talking. [12/18/2013 10:08:56 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): ((So I should still roll init, though.)) [12/18/2013 10:08:59 PM] Kestrel: Silver: It's on FIRE! [12/18/2013 10:09:05 PM | Edited 10:09:16 PM] Kestrel: Everyone should roll init? [12/18/2013 10:09:10 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): ((23)) [12/18/2013 10:09:19 PM] Janis (Ranger): ((14)) [12/18/2013 10:09:23 PM] Janis (Ranger): ((Init)) [12/18/2013 10:09:24 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): ((If that thing becomes Janis' animal companion, I might just die of laughter.)) [12/18/2013 10:09:29 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): ((Sorry, I wasn't sure if my actions were occuring in the context of the combat round.)) [12/18/2013 10:09:32 PM] Jhett: (( 6 )) [12/18/2013 10:09:35 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): ((That would be AMAZING.)) [12/18/2013 10:09:35 PM] Janis (Ranger): ((THAT WOULD BE SO COOL)) [12/18/2013 10:09:57 PM] Kestrel: Round 1: Larry, Lira, Wynn, Janis, Nilani, Jhett. [12/18/2013 10:10:10 PM] Kestrel: Kestrel is nowhere to be found, and Silver stayed back in the galley rather than going out into the hallway. [12/18/2013 10:10:36 PM] Janis (Ranger): ((Larry?)) [12/18/2013 10:10:37 PM] Kestrel: * Larry * [12/18/2013 10:10:52 PM] Kestrel: You're faced with a frothing hellhound, and Lira and Nilani are both between it and you. [12/18/2013 10:11:05 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): ((Just a sec.)) [12/18/2013 10:11:12 PM] Janis (Ranger): ((Wait, I was ahead. Why am I in the back now?)) [12/18/2013 10:11:26 PM] Kestrel: You're not in the back. You're in the front, next to Lira. [12/18/2013 10:11:34 PM] Janis (Ranger): ((Ah, ok)) [12/18/2013 10:11:41 PM] Kestrel: Janis and Lira are in the front. Wynn and Nilani are in the middle. Jhett and Larry are in the back. [12/18/2013 10:12:01 PM] Wynn (no armor): ((is there room to maneuver around each other?)) [12/18/2013 10:12:17 PM] Lira the Wiz (Maident): ((friendly units don't tend to impede movement)) [12/18/2013 10:12:19 PM] Kestrel: There's room to walk through, but charging will be impossible for anyone but Janis and Lira. [12/18/2013 10:13:21 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): K, then I'll take my move action to get to the front, and do a touch cast of Sanctuary on Lira. [12/18/2013 10:13:36 PM] Kestrel: Done. Link the spell in here please so we know what it does. [12/18/2013 10:13:39 PM] Kestrel: * Lira * [12/18/2013 10:13:43 PM] Wynn (no armor): ((lol. lira can't attack :P)) [12/18/2013 10:13:52 PM] Lira the Wiz (Maident): ((what does the spell do?)) [12/18/2013 10:13:53 PM] Wynn (no armor): ((or is that a different spell?)) [12/18/2013 10:14:09 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/SRD:Sanctuary [12/18/2013 10:14:35 PM] Kestrel: She can use nonattack spells or otherwise act, but if she attacks the spell vanishes. [12/18/2013 10:14:43 PM] Kestrel: She does know what has been cast on her.

[12/18/2013 10:48:00 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Friend Wynn, the light of Pelor shines on all. [12/18/2013 10:48:15 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): Nilani Adjarin (Rogue) ducks [12/18/2013 10:48:19 PM] Lira the Wiz (Maident): It is a bit of a danger, I'll give you that... [12/18/2013 10:48:21 PM] Kestrel: The deer meat on the plate is nicely seared, whereupon the hound gobbles it up. [12/18/2013 10:48:27 PM] Wynn (no armor): Not on evil outsiders. They don't particularly care for Pelor there. [12/18/2013 10:48:38 PM | Edited 10:48:52 PM] Janis (Ranger): Look, he even cooks his own food. He's like a little person. [12/18/2013 10:48:44 PM] Jhett: Mmmm. There's no words for 'Gently' in Infernal, but 'Be at ease' is 'orak vk tul'. [12/18/2013 10:48:47 PM] Wynn (no armor): There is nowhere to keep it that we will know we are safe from it. [12/18/2013 10:49:08 PM] Kestrel: Silver: ... it's on *fire.* We're not keeping it in the forest. [12/18/2013 10:49:10 PM] Janis (Ranger): Ok, if he's like another dog, we should let him eat first. [12/18/2013 10:49:18 PM] Janis (Ranger): We can heal him afterwards. [12/18/2013 10:49:25 PM] Jhett: ...forest? [12/18/2013 10:49:34 PM] Lira the Wiz (Maident): Yes there's a forest... uh... door. [12/18/2013 10:49:37 PM] Wynn (no armor): Short of keeping it in a cage in a storage room just to let it out at the first fire plane we come to, there is nothing we can do. [12/18/2013 10:49:37 PM | Edited 10:49:46 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): Nilani Adjarin (Rogue) whirls around, wondering how Silver knew about the forest [12/18/2013 10:49:53 PM] Janis (Ranger): But...but... [12/18/2013 10:50:05 PM] Janis (Ranger): Janis (Ranger) looks sad, but understands Wynn's making sense. [12/18/2013 10:50:27 PM] Kestrel: Hellhound: Woof! [12/18/2013 10:50:32 PM] Lira the Wiz (Maident): Well we can try having the hound guard the cylinder room at least.... [12/18/2013 10:50:48 PM] Wynn (no armor): So he can breathe fire on the next innocent to wake up? [12/18/2013 10:50:52 PM] Kestrel: The dog sits back on his haunches, flamey tongue hanging out on one side. [12/18/2013 10:50:57 PM] Janis (Ranger): I can be on guard with him. [12/18/2013 10:51:03 PM] Lira the Wiz (Maident): I didn't mean al- [12/18/2013 10:51:07 PM] Wynn (no armor): I will not leave you alone with this creature. [12/18/2013 10:51:08 PM] Lira the Wiz (Maident): Oh. [12/18/2013 10:51:18 PM] Janis (Ranger): Larry, I think Flamey is done. [12/18/2013 10:51:40 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Nation, are there any open portals at the moment? [12/18/2013 10:51:40 PM] Jhett: ... so. This is a ship. There's a forest on the ship. [12/18/2013 10:51:49 PM] Lira the Wiz (Maident): Not on the ship, my good companion. [12/18/2013 10:51:55 PM] Jhett: Nation:  Just the cylinder room. [12/18/2013 10:52:01 PM | Edited 10:52:16 PM] Janis (Ranger): LArry, we should heal Flamey. [12/18/2013 10:52:18 PM] Kestrel: Hellhound: Woof! [12/18/2013 10:52:26 PM] Wynn (no armor): Wynn (no armor) readies an attack in case things go south [12/18/2013 10:52:35 PM] Kestrel: The dog wriggles a little bit, restless. [12/18/2013 10:52:50 PM] Kestrel: Silver: And we are *not* keeping that thing in the forest. [12/18/2013 10:52:51 PM] Janis (Ranger): Janis (Ranger) uses the words Jhett taught he to try and calm Flamey [12/18/2013 10:53:04 PM] Kestrel: The dog flops over onto its side. [12/18/2013 10:53:06 PM] Janis (Ranger): ...how did you know about the forest? [12/18/2013 10:53:07 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Silver, how do *you* know about the forest? [12/18/2013 10:53:15 PM] Kestrel: Silver: ... oh, darn it. [12/18/2013 10:53:21 PM] Wynn (no armor): (( lol i thought that was a typo)) [12/18/2013 10:53:30 PM] Lira the Wiz (Maident): Lira the Wiz (Maident) looks at Silver curiously [12/18/2013 10:53:34 PM] Kestrel: Silver looks up at the ceiling. "I *told* you I was a rotten liar too." [12/18/2013 10:53:37 PM] Wynn (no armor): Damn it! [12/18/2013 10:53:50 PM] Janis (Ranger): YOU *ARE* THE FOREST! [12/18/2013 10:54:00 PM] Wynn (no armor): Wait... what? [12/18/2013 10:54:10 PM] Janis (Ranger): Like how Nation is Jerkface. [12/18/2013 10:54:17 PM] Janis (Ranger): ...I think... [12/18/2013 10:54:21 PM] Janis (Ranger): Aren't you? [12/18/2013 10:54:29 PM] Lira the Wiz (Maident): .... [12/18/2013 10:54:41 PM] Kestrel: Silver: ... well, yes, but he's still not living in there. He's all full of fire. I can't have *fire.* [12/18/2013 10:54:46 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Why would Silver be the forest, Janis? Was there an embodiment of the dead plane you all ventured to? [12/18/2013 10:55:04 PM] Kestrel: The hellhound streeeetches out, exposing its belly to Janis! [12/18/2013 10:55:12 PM] Jhett: Nation:  ... why did you even bother? [12/18/2013 10:55:15 PM] Wynn (no armor): Why can't you people just be honest with us? [12/18/2013 10:55:15 PM] Janis (Ranger): ((Is the Belly on fire?)) [12/18/2013 10:55:30 PM] Jhett: Nation:  They're clever and we're awful at being sneaky. [12/18/2013 10:55:30 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Really? Does everything related to this ship have an avatar? [12/18/2013 10:55:31 PM] Lira the Wiz (Maident): I don't think they're people, Wynn. [12/18/2013 10:55:38 PM] Wynn (no armor): You know what I mean. [12/18/2013 10:55:38 PM] Janis (Ranger): Janis (Ranger) rubs the belly. [12/18/2013 10:55:43 PM] Kestrel: Silver: I wanted to know if they were going to try to set *me* on fire. Not everyone is very nice, you know. [12/18/2013 10:56:04 PM] Jhett: nation:  That is a thing that happened. Someone tried to set her on fire. [12/18/2013 10:56:11 PM] Lira the Wiz (Maident): Was it you, Nation? [12/18/2013 10:56:14 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Also, Nation, I thought the forest was mad at you. [12/18/2013 10:56:16 PM] Kestrel: Janis rubs the hellhound's belly! It stretches out even more to let her, and seems pretty happy about it. [12/18/2013 10:56:21 PM] Jhett: Nation:  We made up. [12/18/2013 10:56:25 PM] Wynn (no armor): Wynn (no armor) scowls. [12/18/2013 10:56:31 PM] Jhett: Nation:  I've never harmed anyone. [12/18/2013 10:56:32 PM] Lira the Wiz (Maident): ((Sense motive!!)) [12/18/2013 10:56:37 PM] Lira the Wiz (Maident): ((17)) [12/18/2013 10:56:55 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): ((23)) [12/18/2013 10:57:04 PM] Kestrel: Silver's appearance changes a bit--her hair stays reddish, but now there are little tendrils and shoots of vines in it, and also it looks a little bit like it has exploded, been sat on, and then exploded again--it's still pretty long but it's quite messy. [12/18/2013 10:57:09 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): ((Also SM)) [12/18/2013 10:57:27 PM] Kestrel: Her skin cracks and turns whiter, too--bone white, with black streaks and knots. [12/18/2013 10:57:41 PM] Kestrel: Silver: He's really very nonviolent actually. [12/18/2013 10:58:07 PM] Wynn (no armor): Great. Now that you two lovebirds have made up, can we deal with this thing? [12/18/2013 10:58:12 PM] Kestrel: Hellhound: Arf! [12/18/2013 10:58:16 PM] Janis (Ranger): She's not a thing! [12/18/2013 10:58:20 PM] Kestrel: Silver: How do *you* know we're lovebirds? [12/18/2013 10:58:30 PM] Kestrel: Reflex save, Janis! [12/18/2013 10:58:46 PM] Janis (Ranger): ((15)) [12/18/2013 10:58:54 PM] Lira the Wiz (Maident): Lira the Wiz (Maident) looks over at Janis with concern! [12/18/2013 10:58:56 PM] Kestrel: Janis manages to dodge as the hellhound tries to lick her hand! [12/18/2013 10:59:03 PM] Wynn (no armor): ((oh no you didn't! if it looks like it's attacking her, i have no choice but to smack it with my hammah!)) [12/18/2013 10:59:15 PM] Janis (Ranger): It's ok. It's ok! [12/18/2013 10:59:24 PM] Janis (Ranger): Janis (Ranger) holds up her arms to calm Wynn. [12/18/2013 10:59:27 PM] Wynn (no armor): Now do you see what I mean? [12/18/2013 10:59:28 PM] Kestrel: The dog looks confused, but doesn't try for another lick. [12/18/2013 10:59:31 PM] Janis (Ranger): She just got excited. [12/18/2013 10:59:40 PM] Janis (Ranger): We can train her not to do that. [12/18/2013 10:59:41 PM] Wynn (no armor): Even if that was unintentional, it's not safe. [12/18/2013 11:00:00 PM] Kestrel: The hellhound's little tail wag-wag-wags. [12/18/2013 11:00:00 PM] Wynn (no armor): And, do you know what "evil" means? It doesn't mean cute puppies. [12/18/2013 11:00:09 PM] Wynn (no armor): It means things that want to do bad things to you. [12/18/2013 11:00:22 PM] Janis (Ranger): Just because it's on fire doesn't mean it's evil. [12/18/2013 11:00:29 PM] Jhett: Nation:  ... nice or not, it's made of infernal flame, you know. That's not safe for you or me or her. [12/18/2013 11:00:39 PM | Edited 11:01:43 PM] Wynn (no armor): No, my "god-given sight" as Kalor put it, does. [12/18/2013 11:00:45 PM] Lira the Wiz (Maident): Nation, how fast can you make a jump? [12/18/2013 11:01:31 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Wynn, this is a dog. Dogs don't have the intelligence to speak. It can't have the intelligence to play nice for this long only to kill us while we sleep. It's only a threat in that it doesn't understand that we're not fireproof. [12/18/2013 11:01:36 PM | Removed 11:02:26 PM] Kestrel: This message has been removed. [12/18/2013 11:02:01 PM] Lira the Wiz (Maident): And that it's dangerous to the ship, Larry. [12/18/2013 11:02:05 PM] Kestrel: Silver: I'm *really* not fireproof at all! [12/18/2013 11:02:11 PM] Wynn (no armor): ((I meant Kalor)) [12/18/2013 11:02:19 PM] Janis (Ranger): If Jhett teaches me Infernal I can train her to fix that. [12/18/2013 11:02:26 PM] Wynn (no armor): It cannot stay. [12/18/2013 11:02:30 PM] Lira the Wiz (Maident): It's dangerous to the *ship* [12/18/2013 11:02:34 PM] Lira the Wiz (Maident): the thing we're trying to fix? [12/18/2013 11:02:48 PM] Janis (Ranger): ((I was certain Jhett and Wynn would really hate that plan)) [12/18/2013 11:02:54 PM] Kestrel: Kestrel: ... perhaps more fireproof environs within the ship could be arranged. [12/18/2013 11:03:11 PM] Janis (Ranger): Yeah, we could fireproof my room, right Nation? [12/18/2013 11:03:12 PM] Wynn (no armor): It cannot stay. [12/18/2013 11:03:22 PM] Wynn (no armor): And it certainly is NOT staying with you. [12/18/2013 11:03:29 PM] Janis (Ranger): Says who? [12/18/2013 11:03:45 PM] Janis (Ranger): Who are you to tell me what I can and can't do?!? [12/18/2013 11:03:46 PM] Kestrel: Silver, nervously: You're not going to fight, are you? [12/18/2013 11:03:49 PM] Jhett: Nation:  It's not just made of fire, it's made of Infernal fire. [12/18/2013 11:03:57 PM] Jhett: Nation:  There's a big difference there. [12/18/2013 11:04:13 PM] Lira the Wiz (Maident): Nation, how fast can you make a jump? [12/18/2013 11:04:25 PM] Kestrel: Silver: There's not that much difference if you're flammable! Besides, you hate dogs. You always hate dogs. [12/18/2013 11:04:27 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): I like the idea that we may get lucky enough to find a plane to release it to, but this creature does not deserve a violent death just because. [12/18/2013 11:04:40 PM] Jhett: Nation:  ... a couple of hours. [12/18/2013 11:04:41 PM] Wynn (no armor): What happens when the only plane we line up with is some innocent village? What do we do then? Let it out? [12/18/2013 11:04:55 PM] Kestrel: Silver: Just because that one dog widdled on your... what was it again? [12/18/2013 11:05:05 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): Nilani Adjarin (Rogue) tries to calm everyone down, but is unsure how to do so and just ends up looking awkward. [12/18/2013 11:05:10 PM] Janis (Ranger): We can keep it until we find a fire plane. Nation said he had one before. [12/18/2013 11:05:32 PM] Wynn (no armor): He can't steer. [12/18/2013 11:05:40 PM] Wynn (no armor): Who knows how long that could be. [12/18/2013 11:05:42 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): And I realize that the danger to the ship, and to a lesser extent us, is not "just because", but murder makes us no beter than what you percieve it to be, Wynn. [12/18/2013 11:05:47 PM] Kestrel: The dog moves a bit, re-flopping so that Janis has a different angle. [12/18/2013 11:06:01 PM] Lira the Wiz (Maident): I think you should get ready to jump, Nation. [12/18/2013 11:06:03 PM] Janis (Ranger): Janis (Ranger) pets him again [12/18/2013 11:06:10 PM] Jhett: Nation:  All right, fine. [12/18/2013 11:06:33 PM] Kestrel: The dog pants happily, dribbling a bit of flame onto the corridor floor. [12/18/2013 11:07:16 PM] Janis (Ranger): ((Oh well. No fire dog for me :) [12/18/2013 11:07:23 PM] Lira the Wiz (Maident): We can take watches, get some rest, and have Nation take jumps until we find it a suitable hoome. [12/18/2013 11:07:36 PM] Janis (Ranger): I call first watch! [12/18/2013 11:07:43 PM] Wynn (no armor): Then I will stay with you. [12/18/2013 11:07:50 PM] Kestrel: Kestrel: I will take a watch. [12/18/2013 11:08:07 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): Nilani Adjarin (Rogue) volunteers [12/18/2013 11:08:07 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): I will take watch as needed. [12/18/2013 11:08:10 PM] Kestrel: Silver: I'm Talassica by the way. It's ... well, it's sort of nice to meet you, I guess. [12/18/2013 11:08:16 PM] Jhett: Jhett:  So.  Can someone explain to me, finally, what is going on here? [12/18/2013 11:08:17 PM] Janis (Ranger): I don't think I should leave, actually.  She doesn't seem to trust you like she trusts me. [12/18/2013 11:08:40 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): It's a bit complicated, friend Jhett. [12/18/2013 11:08:42 PM] Lira the Wiz (Maident): Lira the Wiz (Maident) scowls at Jhett and retires to her room. [12/18/2013 11:08:51 PM] Janis (Ranger): I thought we did, already. [12/18/2013 11:09:11 PM] Kestrel: The Hellhound barks twice. [12/18/2013 11:09:13 PM] Wynn (no armor): Would you care to explain how you know Infernal? [12/18/2013 11:09:24 PM] Kestrel: Kestrel, in Infernal: It is not uncommon. [12/18/2013 11:09:36 PM] Janis (Ranger): See, it's no big deal, Wynn. [12/18/2013 11:09:40 PM] Jhett: I speak Celestial, too, if that makes you feel better. [12/18/2013 11:09:45 PM] Kestrel: Kestrel: It is not uncommon. [12/18/2013 11:10:00 PM] Janis (Ranger): ...that was infernal, right? [12/18/2013 11:10:02 PM] Wynn (no armor): Yes, and you... well, we still have things to sort out, Kestrel. [12/18/2013 11:10:05 PM] Kestrel: Talassica: It's still on *fire.* Nate? Nate, get down here right this minute. [12/18/2013 11:10:27 PM] Janis (Ranger): Nate? [12/18/2013 11:10:30 PM] Jhett: Nation:  I'm calculating a jump, Talas. [12/18/2013 11:10:37 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): Nilani Adjarin (Rogue) grins [12/18/2013 11:10:44 PM] Janis (Ranger): She calls you Nate? [12/18/2013 11:10:47 PM] Janis (Ranger): Janis (Ranger) giggles [12/18/2013 11:11:15 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): (Mockingly) All the cool kids know Infernal. [12/18/2013 11:11:26 PM] Wynn (no armor): Wynn (no armor) grabs Larry. [12/18/2013 11:11:32 PM] Jhett: Nation:  You can put him in one of the empty storage rooms. Nothing in there but old wooden crates. And they're big and I can lock the door to keep him out of the more delicate areas. [12/18/2013 11:11:39 PM] Janis (Ranger): ...I don't know any cool languages. [12/18/2013 11:11:50 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): I was kidding, Janis. [12/18/2013 11:11:53 PM] Wynn (no armor): I'll be back in a moment. If anything happens to that girl while I'm gone, I will... [12/18/2013 11:11:59 PM] Kestrel: Talas: Well it's his name, isn't it. [12/18/2013 11:11:59 PM] Wynn (no armor): Wynn (no armor) scowls and storms to her room. [12/18/2013 11:12:02 PM] Janis (Ranger): I'm fine, Wynn. [12/18/2013 11:12:16 PM] Janis (Ranger): ...why's she always so...like that? [12/18/2013 11:12:20 PM] Lira the Wiz (Maident): Lira the Wiz (Maident) peeks over in Wynn's room briefly [12/18/2013 11:12:22 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): ((Did Wynn drag me along?)) [12/18/2013 11:12:32 PM] Kestrel: Talas: Crates are flammable, Nate!

[12/18/2013 11:13:04 PM | Edited 11:13:10 PM] Janis (Ranger): So what if some crates burn? [12/18/2013 11:13:12 PM] Lira the Wiz (Maident): (quietly) Wynn, may I have a word? [12/18/2013 11:13:23 PM] Kestrel: Talas gets teary-eyed. "They're made of TREES. Of course *you* don't care." [12/18/2013 11:13:37 PM] Janis (Ranger): But aren't they...like...dead trees?

Four hundred years isn't even that long! [12/18/2013 11:14:15 PM] Wynn (no armor): ((prob.))

[12/18/2013 11:48:01 PM] Wynn (visor up): After some time attempting to feed ourselves in the forest, I left her in our clearing to steal some food from a nearby campsite. [12/18/2013 11:48:04 PM] Lira the Wiz (Maident): Indeed, we have underestimated her. [12/18/2013 11:48:14 PM] Wynn (visor up): When I returned, she was gone. Captured. [12/18/2013 11:48:26 PM] Wynn (visor up): I left her alone that day. [12/18/2013 11:48:32 PM] Wynn (visor up): I failed her. [12/18/2013 11:48:46 PM] Kestrel: Talas: Talassica. [12/18/2013 11:48:46 PM] Wynn (visor up): I won't fail you. I'll not let what happened to Annie happen to you. [12/18/2013 11:48:53 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): And beyond that, she hunted the only fresh food we have had since finding ourselves upon this aventure. [12/18/2013 11:48:56 PM] Janis (Ranger): .........I'm sorry. [12/18/2013 11:49:00 PM] Kestrel: Talas: "Forest-lady" sounds old. [12/18/2013 11:49:02 PM] Janis (Ranger): But I'm not your sister. [12/18/2013 11:49:12 PM] Lira the Wiz (Maident): Lira the Wiz (Maident) smiles at forest-lady briefly. "Sorry, I will endeavour to remember your name." [12/18/2013 11:49:18 PM] Wynn (visor up): I know. [12/18/2013 11:49:24 PM] Wynn (visor up): Wynn (visor up) smiles sadly. [12/18/2013 11:49:28 PM] Wynn (visor up): Most of the time, anyway. [12/18/2013 11:49:34 PM] Kestrel: Talas: Talas is all right too. Nate calls me that sometimes. [12/18/2013 11:49:41 PM] Janis (Ranger): Janis (Ranger) feels really low. [12/18/2013 11:49:51 PM] Janis (Ranger): ...I'm sorry I yelled at you too. [12/18/2013 11:50:00 PM] Lira the Wiz (Maident): Say Larry, I have... something on my mind... Why do you call everyone 'friend'? [12/18/2013 11:50:09 PM] Janis (Ranger): I understand we can't keep Flamey. [12/18/2013 11:50:29 PM] Wynn (visor up): It's ok. I know I've been... hard... to deal with. [12/18/2013 11:50:49 PM] Janis (Ranger): No, I get it. I just... [12/18/2013 11:50:56 PM] Janis (Ranger): ...nothing. Thanks. [12/18/2013 11:51:00 PM] Kestrel: Talas, to Nilani: You can come and visit the Forest whenever you want, and I can direct you to your things too if you want. It's nice to see somebody who cares about plants and things. [12/18/2013 11:51:20 PM] Wynn (visor up): I'll let you go hunt then, but could you do me a favor? [12/18/2013 11:51:23 PM] Janis (Ranger): (To the group) You know I know you're talking about me right?!? [12/18/2013 11:51:39 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): Nilani Adjarin (Rogue) starts to carry most of the plants towards the Forest door, Except for a pot with a small purple flower, which she leaves at her room. [12/18/2013 11:51:42 PM] Kestrel: Talas: *I* wasn't. [12/18/2013 11:51:57 PM] Kestrel: Talas helps Nilani. [12/18/2013 11:52:10 PM] Lira the Wiz (Maident): Lira the Wiz (Maident) smiles at Janis. "Then you should know they were good things." [12/18/2013 11:52:20 PM] Janis (Ranger): Janis (Ranger) smiles "I know" [12/18/2013 11:52:20 PM] Wynn (visor up): Could you let me come with you when you are with the hound? It would make me feel better if I at least had your blessing. [12/18/2013 11:52:32 PM] Janis (Ranger): (To Wynn) You want to come hunting with me? [12/18/2013 11:52:55 PM] Wynn (visor up): I am a terrible hunter. A terrible thief too, for that matter. [12/18/2013 11:53:11 PM] Janis (Ranger): Just stand back and be quiet. I know what I'm doing. [12/18/2013 11:53:20 PM] Wynn (visor up): Wynn (visor up) nods and smiles. [12/18/2013 11:53:20 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): Nilani Adjarin (Rogue) enters the forest [12/18/2013 11:53:30 PM] Janis (Ranger): Janis (Ranger) leads Wynn to the forest. [12/18/2013 11:53:31 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Because, friend Lira, we must all coexist and cooperate if we are ever to get home. I may not agree with the backgrounds and choices the others on this ship have made, but until there is a reason for me to see anyone otherwise, they are my friend. [12/18/2013 11:53:46 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Or, at the least, I am their friend. [12/18/2013 11:54:01 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): As I have said, the light of Pelor shines on all. [12/18/2013 11:54:15 PM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): Nilani Adjarin (Rogue) looks back at the forest door, to see what it looks like from the inside. [12/18/2013 11:54:26 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): The least I can do is to remind others that the light is there. [12/18/2013 11:54:43 PM] Janis (Ranger): ((I think Wynn and I have done all the RPing we'll be doing, so can we just assume I am once again awesome at hunting?)) [12/18/2013 11:54:51 PM] Kestrel: Yep! [12/18/2013 11:54:54 PM] Wynn (visor up): :D [12/18/2013 11:55:01 PM] Kestrel: This time you also spot a deer flying away from you. [12/18/2013 11:55:26 PM] Lira the Wiz (Maident): Lira the Wiz (Maident) idly brushes a lock of hair away from her eyes. "Even infernal beasts, as I saw today?" Her eyes look a little to the side. "Even elves who abandon their closest relatives?" [12/18/2013 11:55:34 PM] Kestrel: The forest door is covered with moss! [12/18/2013 11:55:46 PM] Kestrel: On the inside. [12/18/2013 11:56:08 PM] Janis (Ranger): I wonder if Talas can hear us in here. [12/18/2013 11:56:16 PM] Kestrel: (There's also a big heart shape discernable in the moss, like someone at some point drew a heart there and then let the moss grow back over it.) [12/18/2013 11:56:31 PM] Janis (Ranger): Janis (Ranger) smiles at that [12/18/2013 11:56:51 PM] Wynn (visor up): Wynn (visor up) rolls her eyes. [12/18/2013 11:57:00 PM] Janis (Ranger): You know what you need? [12/18/2013 11:57:06 PM] Janis (Ranger): You need to loosen up. [12/18/2013 11:57:14 PM] Wynn (visor up): Wynn (visor up) chuckles. [12/18/2013 11:57:20 PM] Janis (Ranger): Ever since you got here, you've been acting like everyone's gonna kill you. [12/18/2013 11:57:37 PM] Wynn (visor up): I'm not normally this tense. It's been a strange few days. [12/18/2013 11:57:49 PM] Janis (Ranger): Janis (Ranger) shrugs "I guess so." [12/18/2013 11:57:52 PM] Wynn (visor up): And... can I tell you a secret? [12/18/2013 11:57:59 PM] Janis (Ranger): Sure [12/18/2013 11:58:01 PM] Wynn (visor up): I'm not a very good paladin. [12/18/2013 11:58:11 PM] Janis (Ranger): What do ya mean? [12/18/2013 11:58:34 PM] Wynn (visor up): I've been in training for years, but... they never thought I was ready for any real work. [12/18/2013 11:58:51 PM] Wynn (visor up): I don't "get it right" enough. [12/18/2013 11:58:58 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): I believe the light shines on us all. Sometimes, it's not as noticeable. When the clerics of Pelor told me how I came to be in their care, it was not a day where I felt the light, much at all. [12/18/2013 11:59:07 PM] Wynn (visor up): I suppose I've been over-doing it, trying to act the way a paladin should. [12/18/2013 11:59:21 PM] Lira the Wiz (Maident): You... feel the light? [12/18/2013 11:59:31 PM] Janis (Ranger): You know why I'm the greatest bounty hunter in the world? [12/18/2013 11:59:39 PM] Wynn (visor up): Why? [12/18/2013 11:59:56 PM] Janis (Ranger): Because I am! And I act like I would act to do so. [12/19/2013 12:00:03 AM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): The hound was born and raised on an infernal plane. When friend Janis offered it affection, it reacted like any good creature would. How could I turn my mace to it? [12/19/2013 12:00:07 AM] Janis (Ranger): You can't let anyone else tell you how to do your job! [12/19/2013 12:00:11 AM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): Nilani Adjarin (Rogue) finds the gardens and leaves the seeds and seedlings sorted out nearby. She hasn't had much experience planting things, and doesn't want to endanger the little plants. She instead walks back in the general direction of the forest door. [12/19/2013 12:00:24 AM] Janis (Ranger): That's how you become the best. [12/19/2013 12:00:44 AM | Edited 12:00:50 AM] Lira the Wiz (Maident): Lira the Wiz (Maident) smiles. "Yes, I too did not wish unnecessary violence." [12/19/2013 12:00:51 AM] Kestrel: Talas helps with the planting, and gestures at the plants a bit once they're in the soil. Most of them immediately sprout leaves, coming up through the soil. [12/19/2013 12:01:45 AM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): After a fashion, yes. I know Pelor's grace shines upon us all, and on the days when I know that deeply, then I *feel* the light. When we lose our way, or cannot feel the light, we scramble in percieved darkness. [12/19/2013 12:02:53 AM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): I believe that there are times in all our lives when we failed to feel the light, instead groping about for our way, and in those times, we do not always do what we wish we would have. [12/19/2013 12:04:10 AM] Lira the Wiz (Maident): I see, thank you for your wisdom. I do not believe Janis needs help in the forest, and I know not where the quiet one is off to. Is there anything you need help with, good friend? [12/19/2013 12:05:19 AM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): Nilani Adjarin (Rogue) exits the forest, and rummages around in her room for something. [12/19/2013 12:05:25 AM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): I do not believe so, friend Lira. I suppose we may as well catch some rest while we can. It has been a long day, with many unexpected happenings. [12/19/2013 12:05:50 AM] Lira the Wiz (Maident): Alright then. [12/19/2013 12:05:56 AM] Kestrel: Talas returns to Larry and Lira outside the forest, holding a basket. [12/19/2013 12:06:03 AM] Lira the Wiz (Maident): Lira the Wiz (Maident) turns to Talas. [12/19/2013 12:06:23 AM] Kestrel: Talas: Here, take this. It's more food, Nate *never* knows what people eat. I think he thinks people can survive on just fruit. [12/19/2013 12:07:03 AM] Lira the Wiz (Maident): Lira the Wiz (Maident) laughes good-heartedly. "We can take it to the kitchen, thank you." [12/19/2013 12:07:15 AM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Thank you, friend Talas. We appreciate your offering, and will do our best to respect you and your realm. [12/19/2013 12:07:26 AM] Kestrel: She hands Lira a large basket. There's potatoes, green beans, raspberries, onions, mushrooms, some lemons and a handful of mint, some peppers and some thyme. [12/19/2013 12:07:50 AM] Lira the Wiz (Maident): Lira the Wiz (Maident) takes the basket, looking at Larry briefly before heading to the Kitchen. [12/19/2013 12:08:29 AM] Kestrel: Talas: If you need anything else, ask! [12/19/2013 12:08:50 AM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): ((Survival is an untrained skill! So I should be able to cook effectively!)) [12/19/2013 12:09:56 AM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): (Though is making delicious things not taste disgusting Survival, or some other skill?) [12/19/2013 12:10:01 AM] Lira the Wiz (Maident): Lira the Wiz (Maident) tries to kinda wave and nod at Talas her understanding, setting down the basket at the kitchen and grabbing a handful of raspberries, breathing them in before eating them, enjoying the taste of her past for a moment - standing there, doing nothing else, and then putting away the items one at a time. [12/19/2013 12:10:42 AM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): Nilani Adjarin (Rogue) exits her room with a cloth-wrapped object and heads towards the lounge. [12/19/2013 12:10:55 AM] Lira the Wiz (Maident): Lira the Wiz (Maident) turns around, a bit jumpy [12/19/2013 12:10:59 AM] Lira the Wiz (Maident): Oh, hello. [12/19/2013 12:11:02 AM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): Nilani Adjarin (Rogue) enters the lounge [12/19/2013 12:11:13 AM] Lira the Wiz (Maident): ((oops)) [12/19/2013 12:11:14 AM] Kestrel: ((Could be survival, could be Craft: Decent Food, or Profession: Cook/Chef)) [12/19/2013 12:11:27 AM] Lira the Wiz (Maident): ((pretend mine is after yours?)) [12/19/2013 12:11:37 AM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): ((Cool.)) [12/19/2013 12:11:45 AM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): Nilani Adjarin (Rogue) reappears, carrying a cloth. [12/19/2013 12:11:51 AM] Kestrel: The raspberries are great, picked just at the very right time for maximal freshness and flavor. Mmm. [12/19/2013 12:12:16 AM] Lira the Wiz (Maident): Lira the Wiz (Maident) takes the mint last, puzzling at what to do with it. [12/19/2013 12:12:29 AM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Larry, Cleric (Adam) wanders into the kitchen. [12/19/2013 12:13:13 AM | Edited 12:46:20 AM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): Nilani Adjarin (Rogue) puts the cloth back in her room, then heads to the galley. [12/19/2013 12:13:25 AM] Lira the Wiz (Maident): Lira the Wiz (Maident) looks up. "What does mint go in? I put the fruit and vegetables over there, but I don't know what to do with this." [12/19/2013 12:14:30 AM] Lira the Wiz (Maident): Lira the Wiz (Maident) also picks up the thyme and sniffs it. [12/19/2013 12:14:41 AM] Kestrel: Mmm, thymey. [12/19/2013 12:14:49 AM] Kestrel: Not very wimey, though. [12/19/2013 12:14:57 AM] Lira the Wiz (Maident): :D [12/19/2013 12:15:25 AM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): (I thought you needed some kind of detector to figure out the wimeyness?) [12/19/2013 12:15:50 AM | Edited 12:46:48 AM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): Nilani Adjarin (Rogue) makes a note to look for books on Neogi and the undead. [12/19/2013 12:15:53 AM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): I believe mint goes well with fruit, and perhaps some meats. Honestly, we didn't use it much in the temple. [12/19/2013 12:16:18 AM] Lira the Wiz (Maident): Lira the Wiz (Maident) smiles in appreciation. "I put the peppers with the meats too. Works for me." [12/19/2013 12:17:14 AM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): By the way, I should mention that there's a very, very old corpse in the other storage room. I'm sure someone would have said something sooner, but between the vampire and the dog... [12/19/2013 12:17:23 AM] Lira the Wiz (Maident): A corpse? [12/19/2013 12:17:25 AM] Jhett: ((Nation's library does have books on aberrations of all stripes.)) [12/19/2013 12:17:27 AM] Lira the Wiz (Maident): Lira the Wiz (Maident) looks up in alarm! [12/19/2013 12:17:47 AM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Sorry, there's no good way of bringing such a thing up. [12/19/2013 12:18:10 AM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): The body has been dead for at least 200 years. [12/19/2013 12:18:16 AM] Lira the Wiz (Maident): Was... the person old? [12/19/2013 12:19:22 AM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): ((I wouldn't be able to tell that from a corpse that had been in the storage room for 200 years, right? Was it a skeleton, or do things not decay normally on the ship, due to the filtration, extraplanar fun, and maybe the cleanup crew?)) [12/19/2013 12:19:43 AM] Lira the Wiz (Maident): Lira the Wiz (Maident) finishes putting away the things in the basket, her full attention on Larry. [12/19/2013 12:19:50 AM] Jhett: ((Not really.)) [12/19/2013 12:21:15 AM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Honestly, I couldn't tell. It had been there a very, very long time. I know that much for sure, but the cause of death and any details of the individual have been well-obscured by time. [12/19/2013 12:21:30 AM] Lira the Wiz (Maident): Sorry... [12/19/2013 12:23:19 AM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): It's alright, friend Lira. It was the least of our concerns, given what has happened in the meantime. I just thought it better to say something before I forgot, and someone stumbled upon it. Also, once everyone knows, it should probably be discussed what we should do with it, though I assume it will wind up where the other two bodies we have dealt with on this ship did. [12/19/2013 12:23:44 AM] Lira the Wiz (Maident): Do... you think we'll end up like that, Larry? You remember how Nation said all his occupants die..? [12/19/2013 12:23:57 AM] Lira the Wiz (Maident): Lira the Wiz (Maident) picks up the empty basket, fingering it nervously [12/19/2013 12:26:16 AM] Kestrel: The basket is beautifully-made, with every piece woven together, symmetrical and seamless. [12/19/2013 12:26:43 AM] Lira the Wiz (Maident): ((masterwork basket +2)) [12/19/2013 12:26:56 AM] Kestrel: Yep! Someone is very good at making pretty baskets. [12/19/2013 12:27:00 AM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): I maintain hope that we will find the bridge, and ultimately our way home, friend Lira. [12/19/2013 12:27:35 AM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): If not, then I believe that Pelor has some greater good for us to fulfill. We will not die in vain. [12/19/2013 12:27:59 AM] Lira the Wiz (Maident): Lira the Wiz (Maident) shakes a little. "I wish I had faith like yours." [12/19/2013 12:30:17 AM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Remember, friend Lira: the Light shines upon us all. It is ours to find a way to feel the light, and do our best to be illuminated ourselves. [12/19/2013 12:30:59 AM] Jhett: ((Larry's church awards him a toaster if he manages an extradimensional conversion!)) [12/19/2013 12:31:19 AM] Lira the Wiz (Maident): Lira the Wiz (Maident) nods gratefully. "Do you think you could return this beautiful basket? I am not sure Talas likes me very much." [12/19/2013 12:31:39 AM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Of course. I would be happy to, friend Lira. [12/19/2013 12:31:39 AM] Kestrel: ((Well there's always Talas. Something tells me she might like the sun already.)) [12/19/2013 12:32:01 AM] Lira the Wiz (Maident): Lira the Wiz (Maident) hands the basket over. [12/19/2013 12:32:39 AM] Janis (Ranger): Janis (Ranger) enters the kitchen, with Wynn behind her carrying a turkey [12/19/2013 12:32:44 AM] Janis (Ranger): Hello! [12/19/2013 12:32:49 AM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Larry, Cleric (Adam) takes the basket to Talas, or the forest portal, if she already headed back. [12/19/2013 12:33:06 AM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Larry, Cleric (Adam) stops en route, upon seeing Janis and Wynn. [12/19/2013 12:33:11 AM] Lira the Wiz (Maident): Lira the Wiz (Maident) smiles at Janis and Wynn. "Nice catch." [12/19/2013 12:33:11 AM] Kestrel: She did head back. [12/19/2013 12:33:25 AM] Wynn (visor up): Wynn (visor up) smiles. [12/19/2013 12:33:26 AM] Janis (Ranger): Thanks. [12/19/2013 12:33:30 AM] Wynn (visor up): All Janis. [12/19/2013 12:33:41 AM] Janis (Ranger): Janis (Ranger) beams proudly [12/19/2013 12:33:50 AM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Well done, friends! [12/19/2013 12:34:25 AM] Wynn (visor up): Wynn (visor up) looks at Lira and smiles. [12/19/2013 12:34:47 AM] Lira the Wiz (Maident): Lira the Wiz (Maident) looks at Wynn a little questioningly, but smiles, hoping things worked out. [12/19/2013 12:35:14 AM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): I hate to ruin the mood, but must mention that while we were all searching for the vampire earlier, a long-dead corpse was found in the other storage room. [12/19/2013 12:35:37 AM] Wynn (visor up): Wynn (visor up) sighs heavily. [12/19/2013 12:35:50 AM] Janis (Ranger): What? [12/19/2013 12:35:54 AM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): The poor soul had been dead for at least 200 years. The cause of death could not be determined. [12/19/2013 12:36:09 AM] Janis (Ranger): Do we know what he was before he died? [12/19/2013 12:36:15 AM] Janis (Ranger): Human, elf, dwarf? [12/19/2013 12:36:23 AM] Jhett: ((Human, you think.)) [12/19/2013 12:36:38 AM] Wynn (visor up): Wynn (visor up) puts a hand to her temples. [12/19/2013 12:36:48 AM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): I believe human, but could not say for sure. [12/19/2013 12:37:22 AM] Wynn (visor up): Another of Nation's lost souls, I'd guess. [12/19/2013 12:37:26 AM] Lira the Wiz (Maident): Lira the Wiz (Maident) nods. [12/19/2013 12:37:36 AM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Again, I am sorry to mention this now, but we have been very busy in the meantime, and do not wish for any to be victim to such an unwelcome surprise. [12/19/2013 12:37:36 AM | Edited 12:37:50 AM] Janis (Ranger): Where'd you find him, exactly? [12/19/2013 12:37:40 AM | Removed 12:38:37 AM] Wynn (visor up): This message has been removed. [12/19/2013 12:37:57 AM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): ((You weren't there, remember?)) [12/19/2013 12:38:18 AM] Lira the Wiz (Maident): ((You were with me in the other storage room with the vampire)) [12/19/2013 12:38:30 AM] Wynn (visor up): ((oops thought you had said in a crate...)) [12/19/2013 12:38:35 AM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Storage room B, shoved in a crate. [12/19/2013 12:38:44 AM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): ((There, now I did. :P) [12/19/2013 12:38:45 AM] Lira the Wiz (Maident): How odd... [12/19/2013 12:38:52 AM] Wynn (visor up): ((:P)) [12/19/2013 12:38:58 AM] Janis (Ranger): Why would someone put him in a crate? [12/19/2013 12:38:58 AM] Wynn (visor up): Very... [12/19/2013 12:39:05 AM] Wynn (visor up): Perhaps to hide a murder. [12/19/2013 12:39:14 AM] Lira the Wiz (Maident): Lira the Wiz (Maident) looks sharply at Wynn. [12/19/2013 12:39:41 AM] Wynn (visor up): Wynn (visor up) looks at Lira blankly. [12/19/2013 12:39:43 AM] Janis (Ranger): ((brb)) [12/19/2013 12:39:48 AM] Wynn (visor up): What? Doesn't it make sense? [12/19/2013 12:40:16 AM] Lira the Wiz (Maident): It doesn't add up, that's all. [12/19/2013 12:40:18 AM] Wynn (visor up): It reminds me that who we claim to be may not always be truthful and there may be some with... ulterior motives. [12/19/2013 12:40:35 AM] Lira the Wiz (Maident): The other bodies, they aren't around. [12/19/2013 12:40:38 AM] Lira the Wiz (Maident): Why is this one? [12/19/2013 12:40:49 AM] Wynn (visor up): It's never been found before? [12/19/2013 12:41:12 AM] Wynn (visor up): ((I don't know about Kestrel's ghost either.)) [12/19/2013 12:41:30 AM] Wynn (visor up): Maybe all the others died off ship? [12/19/2013 12:41:47 AM] Wynn (visor up): Maybe a murder happened, and there was no convenient plane to hide to body. [12/19/2013 12:42:02 AM] Wynn (visor up): Hidden even from Nation. [12/19/2013 12:42:38 AM] Wynn (visor up): Unless Nation (or Talas) was the murderer, which I doubt, it should not worry us now. [12/19/2013 12:42:43 AM] Janis (Ranger): ((Back)) [12/19/2013 12:42:46 AM] Wynn (visor up): The culprit is long gone by now. [12/19/2013 12:42:52 AM] Lira the Wiz (Maident): Lira the Wiz (Maident) puzzles over it. [12/19/2013 12:43:02 AM] Janis (Ranger): Is he? [12/19/2013 12:43:31 AM] Wynn (visor up): If we were the first pods to open, and the pods only refill once everybody is dead, then I'd say yes. [12/19/2013 12:43:33 AM] Janis (Ranger): If he was an elf, he could've lived 200 years no problem. [12/19/2013 12:43:53 AM] Janis (Ranger): And if Nation can't see him kill someone, he might not be able to sense him at all. [12/19/2013 12:43:59 AM] Wynn (visor up): Did any of you get a read on Jhett? [12/19/2013 12:44:07 AM] Lira the Wiz (Maident): No, I don't really like him, though. [12/19/2013 12:44:20 AM] Wynn (visor up): Quite... cocky. [12/19/2013 12:44:30 AM] Janis (Ranger): He seems...weird... [12/19/2013 12:44:33 AM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Indeed, friend Janis, but we have seen no definite signs of any such killer in the time we have been on the ship. [12/19/2013 12:44:39 AM] Janis (Ranger): I don't think he'd bad though. [12/19/2013 12:44:41 AM] Lira the Wiz (Maident): Except us.... [12/19/2013 12:44:48 AM] Lira the Wiz (Maident): Lira the Wiz (Maident) looks sad. [12/19/2013 12:44:50 AM] Janis (Ranger): Or the ghosts. [12/19/2013 12:45:11 AM] Wynn (visor up): Well, besides the hound and the vampire, there's only one being I've sensed evil in. And it wasn't him. [12/19/2013 12:45:25 AM] Janis (Ranger): Who? [12/19/2013 12:45:48 AM] Wynn (visor up): Lira, do not be saddened by the death of a feral vampire. [12/19/2013 12:46:01 AM] Janis (Ranger): Do you mean Kes? [12/19/2013 12:46:05 AM] Wynn (visor up): That person was dead long before we killed it. [12/19/2013 12:46:24 AM] Wynn (visor up): Wynn (visor up) looks at Janis quizzically. [12/19/2013 12:46:35 AM] Janis (Ranger): The person you sensed evil in? [12/19/2013 12:46:36 AM] Lira the Wiz (Maident): I just wish we could have saved the one that he bit. [12/19/2013 12:46:43 AM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Indeed. [12/19/2013 12:47:22 AM] Wynn (visor up): I agree. But I sensed that you were saddened by the thought of yourself as a killer. [12/19/2013 12:47:32 AM] Wynn (visor up): That we are the only killers aboard. [12/19/2013 12:47:39 AM] Lira the Wiz (Maident): It... is true. [12/19/2013 12:48:04 AM] Janis (Ranger): But it's not killing if it's in self-defense, or defense of someone else, right? [12/19/2013 12:48:19 AM] Wynn (visor up): Killing, yes. But justified. [12/19/2013 12:48:33 AM] Janis (Ranger): Right, it's not something that's always wrong. [12/19/2013 12:48:36 AM] Lira the Wiz (Maident): It is still killing. [12/19/2013 12:49:01 AM] Lira the Wiz (Maident): If that corpse was hidden away by some murderer, who's to say that kind of thing won't happen again? [12/19/2013 12:49:02 AM] Wynn (visor up): Killing a vampire, though, is righting a wrong. [12/19/2013 12:49:16 AM] Janis (Ranger): Well, there must be some good vampires. [12/19/2013 12:49:21 AM] Wynn (visor up): It certainly could. [12/19/2013 12:49:49 AM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Larry, Cleric (Adam) remembers I'm still holding the basket, and hastens to return it before forgetting something else for hours. [12/19/2013 12:49:50 AM] Wynn (visor up): And judging by the frequency of hostile visitors, I shall not be setting foot outside my room in less than full armor! [12/19/2013 12:50:31 AM | Edited 12:51:56 AM] Wynn (visor up): We must be vigilant and avoid falling prey to one another. [12/19/2013 12:50:38 AM] Lira the Wiz (Maident): Lira the Wiz (Maident) looks at Wynn. "What justice is there in between planes?" [12/19/2013 12:50:57 AM] Janis (Ranger): DON'T SAY THAT?!? [12/19/2013 12:51:09 AM] Wynn (visor up): The laws of the gods still matter, regardless of location. [12/19/2013 12:51:20 AM] Lira the Wiz (Maident): Lira the Wiz (Maident) shies away from Janis. [12/19/2013 12:51:29 AM] Wynn (visor up): What is it, Janis? [12/19/2013 12:51:32 AM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): ((Can I assume that I was able to return the basket to Talas in the forest with minimal challenge?)) [12/19/2013 12:52:00 AM] Janis (Ranger): You can't ever say there isn't justice. There's always a line you don't cross, ever! It's not just laws or gods or whatever, it's just plain wrong! [12/19/2013 12:52:09 AM] Janis (Ranger): And you can't let people get away with it! [12/19/2013 12:52:15 AM] Wynn (visor up): Wynn (visor up) nods. [12/19/2013 12:52:25 AM] Lira the Wiz (Maident): ((no idea Larry)) [12/19/2013 12:52:33 AM] Jhett: ((I would guess so.)) [12/19/2013 12:52:35 AM] Wynn (visor up): ((i'd guess yes)) [12/19/2013 12:52:43 AM] Kestrel: ((Yep! Basket returned.)) [12/19/2013 12:52:45 AM] Lira the Wiz (Maident): Lira the Wiz (Maident) scowls a little. "There was no justice... for what I've done. There will never be, now." [12/19/2013 12:52:52 AM] Kestrel: ((It is a beautiful basket! You sure you want to return it?)) [12/19/2013 12:53:10 AM] Janis (Ranger): ...what do you mean? [12/19/2013 12:53:12 AM] Wynn (visor up): Wynn (visor up) looks at Lira, puzzled. [12/19/2013 12:53:27 AM] Janis (Ranger): The vampire? [12/19/2013 12:54:47 AM] Janis (Ranger): ((Whatever Larry has to say, he's putting a lot of thought in it)) [12/19/2013 12:55:01 AM] Kestrel: You hear the sound of music coming from across the hall! [12/19/2013 12:55:03 AM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): ((I suppose not. Talas did give us the basket, and mention that we can stop by to get food whenever, so the basket was likely an offer of a means of doing so.)) [12/19/2013 12:55:12 AM] Lira the Wiz (Maident): Not just the vampire. I abandoned them... and all out of some sense of right, but who can say? Whoever murdered the - [12/19/2013 12:55:16 AM] Wynn (visor up): ((It's Backstory Night!)) [12/19/2013 12:55:17 AM] Lira the Wiz (Maident): Lira the Wiz (Maident) looks towards the hall [12/19/2013 12:55:38 AM] Janis (Ranger): ...that's lovely. [12/19/2013 12:55:45 AM] Lira the Wiz (Maident): Lira the Wiz (Maident) wants to tear off in pursuit, but holds herself back for now... [12/19/2013 12:56:00 AM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): ((I was going to out of politeness, but it seems more reasonable to not. So I suppose we can either scrap my trip to the woods, or I can thank Talas again, and skip back to the ship with our pretty, pretty basket.)) [12/19/2013 12:56:09 AM] Janis (Ranger): Janis (Ranger) does tear off. [12/19/2013 12:56:19 AM] Janis (Ranger): Janis (Ranger) pursues the music, quietly [12/19/2013 12:56:28 AM] Wynn (visor up): Wynn (visor up) smiles. [12/19/2013 12:56:40 AM] Wynn (visor up): If you'd like to talk, I am willing to listen. [12/19/2013 12:56:41 AM] Janis (Ranger): ((I think Janis has ADD)) [12/19/2013 12:56:54 AM] Lira the Wiz (Maident): You're okay with Janis going to investigate on her own? [12/19/2013 12:57:01 AM] Lira the Wiz (Maident): Lira the Wiz (Maident) using a surprised tone. [12/19/2013 12:57:10 AM] Kestrel: Janis heads to the lounge! [12/19/2013 12:57:31 AM] Wynn (visor up): Wynn (visor up) I imagine Kestrel has finally decided to act on her constant threats of playing her dulcimer. [12/19/2013 12:57:46 AM] Wynn (visor up): ((didnt mean to /me that)) [12/19/2013 12:58:13 AM] Lira the Wiz (Maident): Lira the Wiz (Maident) relaxes visibly, fighting down the fight-or-flight feeling in her gut. "Sorry... where was I?" [12/19/2013 12:58:45 AM] Wynn (visor up): abandoning and murdering? [12/19/2013 12:59:01 AM] Wynn (visor up): Wynn (visor up) takes a seat. [12/19/2013 12:59:53 AM] Lira the Wiz (Maident): Right. Whoever murdered the person and stuffed them into a crate in a supply room... nobody here can say what justice they faced, if any. If one day you found my corpse in a room somewhere, how could you possibly achieve justice for that? There is no justice between the planes.... [12/19/2013 1:00:22 AM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Larry, Cleric (Adam), finished eloping with the beautiful, beautiful basket, returns to the ship, and follows the sounds of music to the lounge. [12/19/2013 1:00:35 AM] Lira the Wiz (Maident): :D [12/19/2013 1:00:35 AM] Wynn (visor up): When the end comes, your god will call you to his plane and judge you for your actions. [12/19/2013 1:00:54 AM] Lira the Wiz (Maident): Lira the Wiz (Maident) looks blankly at Wynn. [12/19/2013 1:01:12 AM] Wynn (visor up): Even if there is no justice in the life of the sinner, there will be justice in the end. [12/19/2013 1:01:43 AM] Lira the Wiz (Maident): Lira the Wiz (Maident) | Understanding clicks like a lightbulb turning on. "And what about self-justice?" [12/19/2013 1:02:01 AM] Wynn (visor up): Self-justice? [12/19/2013 1:02:50 AM | Edited 1:03:14 AM] Lira the Wiz (Maident): Lira the Wiz (Maident) nods. "Yes. Justice in what you do... for you. I abandoned people too, Wynn. I thought what I was doing was right. They suffered, and I will never be able to do anything about it." [12/19/2013 1:03:31 AM] Wynn (visor up): You want to know how to live with your sins. [12/19/2013 1:05:09 AM | Edited 1:05:13 AM] Lira the Wiz (Maident): Lira the Wiz (Maident) puzzles over the statement for a moment. "In my pride, I was blind. I can live with that just fine. But what my family suffered for me... for my mistakes..." [12/19/2013 1:06:14 AM] Wynn (visor up): All you can do is vow each day to do better. To be better. You can never undo your mistakes. All you can do is atone for them. [12/19/2013 1:07:09 AM] Lira the Wiz (Maident): Lira the Wiz (Maident) nods, resolve in her eyes. "And one last thing... do you feel no sorrow for the vampire? Do you not feel that he might have deserved a second chance?" [12/19/2013 1:08:05 AM] Wynn (visor up): For the vampire? No. The man that deserved sorrow and pity died when the vampire awoke. I will mourn the man, but not the undead. [12/19/2013 1:09:03 AM] Lira the Wiz (Maident): (quietly) Circumstances can be unkind. I just hope he truly did deserve his end. [12/19/2013 1:10:06 AM] Wynn (visor up): Nobody *deserves* a fate like that. If it were me turned into some blood-sucking ghoul, I'd hope nobody thought twice about ending that torment. It would not be me, but an evil in my body. [12/19/2013 1:10:37 AM] Lira the Wiz (Maident): Lira the Wiz (Maident) turns a little pale. "I... think I understand." [12/19/2013 1:11:45 AM] Wynn (visor up): Shall we join the party? [12/19/2013 1:12:16 AM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Party's wound down. Jhett put away the fiddle, and I think we're all getting ready to call it a night, both in and out of character. [12/19/2013 1:12:26 AM] Jhett: ((Yep.)) [12/19/2013 1:12:50 AM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): Nilani Adjarin (Rogue) heads to the library [12/19/2013 1:12:57 AM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): Nilani Adjarin (Rogue) spends a bit searching around, then facepalms as she remembers the Unseen Servants. She then stands near a chair and tries to compel them to bring her books on assorted undead and abberrations, and the most comprehensive guide to Neogi culture, physiology, habits, and/or other miscellanea in our collection. [12/19/2013 1:13:09 AM] Jhett: ((Easily done!)) [12/19/2013 1:13:28 AM] Wynn (visor up): Sleep easy, Lira. [12/19/2013 1:13:33 AM] Lira the Wiz (Maident): Lira the Wiz (Maident) smiles warmly. "You can if you wish, I am gonna call it for today. Get some rest soon." [12/19/2013 1:14:47 AM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): ((If that guide is a two-page pamphlet, I just might go crazy)) [12/19/2013 1:14:59 AM | Removed 1:15:09 AM] Lira the Wiz (Maident): This message has been removed. [12/19/2013 1:15:08 AM] Jhett: ((Just one page. Neogi:  NOPE.)) [12/19/2013 1:15:24 AM] Wynn (visor up): Wynn (visor up) goes to the lounge anyway. [12/19/2013 1:15:39 AM] Lira the Wiz (Maident): Lira the Wiz (Maident) heads to her quarters to trance and reflect on the day. [12/19/2013 1:16:16 AM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): Nilani Adjarin (Rogue) begins reading. She can always trance later. [12/19/2013 1:16:57 AM] Nilani Adjarin (Rogue): ((I am beginning to think I may regret that decision later...)) [12/19/2013 1:17:45 AM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Larry, Cleric (Adam), upon reaching my room, takes off the armor, etc, says a prayer of gratitude to Pelor, and goes to bed. [12/19/2013 1:18:11 AM] Wynn (visor up): Wynn (visor up) checks on Janis to make sure she did actually go to the lounge.
