[21:17] -] -Tala- You see spirits throughout the demense, watching
[21:17] -] *Tala* You see spirits throughout the demense, watching
[21:18] *Tala* looks for the one that told them to bring gifts
[21:18] -] *Tala* the spirits look very similar, but you think they are watching as well

[21:18] * Tala looks around for something
[21:18] * Jynaru hears this, and smiles.
[21:18] [Tei] "we can only do our best and hope it is enough"
[21:19] * Maris gives Jyn a look and smiles back at him at Tabius's comment.
[21:22] [Tala] "We bring you the payment you requested."
[21:22] [Storyteller] The spirits watch and say to you in old realm "Show us".
[21:23] * Tala holds up the totem
[21:23] * Tala waits for Tei w/ the other gift
[21:23] [Tei] holds up the plate of ferilizer
[21:24] [Storyteller] The spirits observe.
[21:24] * Vanal crosses his fingers and mentally prays his ass off
[21:24] [Tala] "We also have slain demons who invaded your forest." Tala sets down the totem and holds up the bag
[21:25] * Tala turns her head slightly to look at something
[21:25] [Tei] "If this pleases you, your graces"

[21:25] -] *tala* One of the spirits floats down closer. You recognize it as the speaker from earlier today
[21:26] -] *Tei* you see a spirit hovering, watching Tala hold up the bag.
[21:27] *Tei* what exactly does it look like
[21:27] -] *Tei* it looks like a human, but it is obviously not so, for it is floating in midair.

[21:26] [Tei] (spends the required personal and wp to activate spirit walking)
[21:26] [Storyteller] [ok]
[21:27] [Storyteller] The unmaterial spirit says "Show us."
[21:27] * Tala reaches in the bag and pulls out a head
[21:28] [Storyteller] The air hisses. "Ermanthi"
[21:29] [Storyteller] A spirit materializes, and puts his hand out for the bag
[21:29] [Tei] "foul things, I hope we did not everstep our bounds in destroying them."
[21:30] [Storyteller] "Demons have no place here"
[21:30] * Tala hands the bag to the spirit
[21:32] [Storyteller] the spirit takes the bag, still speaking in old realm. Pointing at the fertilizer "use that on the area that was tarnished by your friends. And leave the carving as well."
[21:32] [Tala] [LOL, "still" I would never have understood it]
[21:33] [Storyteller] [you have old realm, don't you tala?]
[21:33] [Storyteller] [guess not]
[21:33] [Storyteller] [Tei understands though, right?]
[21:33] [Vanal] [the silence is deafening]
[21:33] [Tei] [yes]
[21:34] [Tala] [just low and high]
[21:34] * Tei moves to comply with orders. "Tala, put the totem down."
[21:35] * Vanal crosses his arms and observes intently
[21:35] * Tabius hides a small grin.
[21:35] * Maris watches as well.
[21:36] * Tala nods to Tei and puts down the totem.
[21:36] [Storyteller] The spirit floats higher, and fades as it says "You may find Feather 80 miles to the south. You may find a audience with him there, if you are worthy."
[21:37] * Tabius looks to the west to see if the sun has finaly set.
[21:37] [Tei] "Thank you your grace."
[21:37] [Storyteller] The sun finally sets, and you are in the shadow of creation.
[21:38] * Tei hurries to unload the staming plate of poo
[21:38] * Maris looks to the three,
[21:38] [Maris] "So what'd we get?"
[21:39] [Tei] "Feather dwells 80 miles to the south"
[21:39] [*Cicada*] moves to assist tei with spreading the poo
[21:39] * Jynaru frowns slightly.
[21:40] [Maris] "How long will it take us to cover that distance Vanal?"
[21:40] * Tabius anima begins to flare as he moves his arms in a swirling motion. His body becomes bathed in etherial flames and his eyes erupt into a shower of sparks. In the aftermath Tabius' anima banner is a swirling flame roughly outlining the sigil of the House of Cathak.
[21:40] * Vanal does a mental tab
[21:40] [Vanal] (how long ? I've got no bloody clue)
[21:40] * Maris raises and eyebrow at Tabius's display.
[21:40] [Storyteller] survival + int
[21:41] [Vanal] !ex 5
[21:41] [Storyteller] Vanal, 8, 2, 5, 4, 3, Successes : 1
[21:41] * Tabius skin is still bronze.
[21:41] [Jynaru] (probably 5 hours.)
[21:41] [Storyteller] (closer to 15)
[21:41] [Vanal] (5 hours ? the average person walks at around 4 mph...without gear, on level terrain)
[21:41] [Storyteller] (On foot, walking)
[21:42] [Jynaru] (we're only going 5 miles an hour on horses/boats?)
[21:42] [Storyteller] (not everyone has horses)
[21:42] [Storyteller] It has been a long day and you tire
[21:42] [Vanal] (the boat is gone, and a group travels at the rat eof its slowest person)
[21:43] * Tabius goes to his horse and pulls out the book with the map trying to ascertain if the river goes south enough to shorten the trip.
[21:43] [Vanal] "15 hours. Roughly."
[21:43] [Maris] "Hrm."
[21:44] [Storyteller] Tabius: the most direct route would go at a right angle to the channel
[21:44] [Storyteller] Though you could go down the channel and hang a left on the serpentine river, it'd take about the same time.
[21:44] [Maris] "That's another day and then comming back. We'd barely get back in time for the fireworks.
[21:45] [Tabius] But if we get there and can negotiate with Feather then there will be no fireworks.
[21:45] [Storyteller] crickets and other night insects begin their night songs as darkness reigns
[21:46] [Vanal] "If we keep talking, it won't bloody matter."
[21:46] [Vanal] "Look, We've got a Talon of Heavy Infantry in the city, plus the guards, plus various dynasts."
[21:46] [Tabius] "Lets mount up and move along, we can discuss this on the way."
[21:46] [Vanal] "They'll be able to do without us if we arrive a little late."
[21:46] * Vanal saddles up
[21:47] * Jynaru begins re-arranging his gear for the long ride.

[21:47] [Jynaru] Can I pull off the Hun trick with WIllpower+ride?
[21:47] [Storyteller] Hun trick?
[21:48] [Jynaru] Sleeping in the saddle.
[21:48] * Storyteller ponders
[21:48] [Storyteller] does he do it often?
[21:49] [Jynaru] It's 15 hours, it's nightime, and I'll be damned if Jynaru's going to listen to Vanal whistle tavern ditties for 15 hours.
[21:49] [Storyteller] heh
[21:49] [Storyteller] if you could get somebody to lead your horse, but you have to spend a willpower and occasional reflexive ride+dex checks
[21:50] [Storyteller] maybe several willpower
[21:50] [Jynaru] Ewwww...
[21:50] * Storyteller ponders
[21:50] [Jynaru] SHag-nasty. Last thing I need is to be out of willpower when you asssault us with various animals or something.
[21:51] [Storyteller] heh
[21:51] [Storyteller] depends how long you sleep, I guess.
[21:51] [Jynaru] Doesn't sleep replenish willpower, or something?
[21:52] [Storyteller] when you wake up
[21:53] [Jynaru] Ah. Might do it, then...

[21:47] * Maris sits in his saddle still, "Well I suppose it could be very useful."
[21:48] * Tabius puts the book back and mounts up then follows Vanals lead.
[21:49] [Maris] "Well I don't have to worry much about seeing at night so I'll help Vanal lead then."
[21:49] * Tei takes a rear gaurd position and starts walking
[21:49] [Maris] "I don't think we'll get very far at night though."
[21:49] * Maris says this as he deftly moves his horse to the south of the party.
[21:50] * Tala mounts up and prepares to ride
[21:50] * Vanal smiles thinly
[21:50] [Vanal] "And what if negociations with our feathered friend break down ?"
[21:51] [Tabius] "The horses can see well enough, if Maris has no problems I can bring up the rear as I have no problems."
[21:51] [Maris] "We keep heading south." Maris says with a laugh.
[21:51] [Tabius] "If negotiations break down, well Vanal, then we get to have some fun.
[21:51] [Vanal] riiight
[21:51] [Tala] "We destroy him."
[21:51] [Storyteller] Who has horses?
[21:51] * Vanal nods
[21:51] * Maris has a horse
[21:52] * Tei does not
[21:52] [Storyteller] if there are four horses in the group I'll say you can all ride
[21:52] [Jynaru] (My definition of fun does not include being chased around by an unmanifested spirit tossing lightning at me.)
[21:52] * Vanal does
[21:52] * Jynaru has a horse.
[21:52] * Tabius Tabius and Cicada do.
[21:53] [Storyteller] ok so that's four horses
[21:53] [Vanal] (4 horseS eheheh)
[21:53] [Tabius] (*I think Tie is the only person that is not mounted)
[21:53] [Storyteller] but some of you're going to have to double up
[21:53] [Storyteller] (cicada doesn't have her own horses)
[21:53] [Maris] ((I don't think Cicada has a horse))
[21:54] [Tabius] (*Ok.....I know I insisted she bring one down on the boat, but if you say so maybe she didn't)
[21:54] [Storyteller] Cicada will ride with Tabius. Who will tei ride with?
[21:54] [Vanal] (thr 4 horsedynasts of the apocalypse)
[21:54] [Storyteller] (she insisted on brining your horse down the boat)
[21:54] [Tabius] (*Its all good.)
[21:55] [Jynaru] (Vanal-War, Tabius-famine, Maris-Death, Jynaru-pestilence?)
[21:55] * Maris would offer but he's huge and wearing jade armor so is very heavy al told."
[21:55] [Vanal] (Naw, Tab is pestilence...he's a plague to me)
[21:55] [Tala] (i had one)
[21:56] [Tei] (I'll ride with tala then)
[21:56] [Tabius] (*And Vanal is Famine, due to his lack of humor ;-)
[21:56] [Jynaru] (two immavulates on the same horse? SOunds like a joke Vanal would tell.)
[21:56] [Vanal] (...Hey, I'm the only professional soldier here...that leans me towards War, thankyouverymuch)
[21:56] [Storyteller] well that /2 to /3s your speed
[21:57] [Storyteller] I mean * not /
[21:57] [Vanal] (Two immaculates and a horse walk into a bar....The first immaculate says 'ouch')
[21:57] * Tabius off we ride.
[21:57] [Storyteller] whos leading?
[21:57] [Jynaru] (Actually..... not exactly, Van-man.)
[21:57] * Maris heads south picking a path and pointing out hidden ditches as he goes. He has an uncanny sense of sight even in the darkest pockets of shadow.
[21:57] [Vanal] (Hey, do YOU command a 125 men ? didn't think so.)
[21:58] * Jynaru follows along.
[21:58] * Vanal is leading, since he's been the ranger wannabe up until now
[21:58] [Storyteller] survival + perception

[21:58] [Storyteller] It's too dark
[21:58] [Vanal] "I can't see SHIT. "
[21:58] * Maris tries to help him pick out a path
[21:58] [Storyteller] You can't find a path
[21:59] [Vanal] "And one fertilizer crack with get you hit with the blunt end of my daiklaive."
[21:59] [Vanal] *will
[21:59] [Jynaru] (You were saying?)
[22:00] * Tabius takes hold of Vanal horses' reigns and leads it along a safe path, being able to see in the dark is very handy.
[22:00] [Maris]

[22:01] [Tala] !ex 4 (per+survival)
[22:01] [Storyteller] Tala, 4, 2, 5, 2, Successes : 0
[22:01] [Tala] (poo)

[22:02] [Jynaru] (LOL!!!!!)
[22:02] [Storyteller] Jynaru, uhhh you think you see a REALLY good shortcut
[22:02] [Storyteller] through a dry river
[22:02] [Jynaru] (Oh, the guy with survival as a caste ability gets lost. The ignominy of it all.)
[22:02] * Vanal sighs and follows
[22:02] [Tala] (we'll meet you there Jay)
[22:03] [Vanal] (Say Hi to Ari for me when you reach Imperial City !)
[22:03] [Maris] "Jyn you might not want to go that way." maris says to keep him from going straight into a thicket of poison ivy.
[22:03] [Storyteller] Tabius, you don't really think Jynaru's got a good shortcut
[22:04] * Jynaru shakes his head, and resumes following.
[22:04] [Storyteller] Jynaru: It looks REALLY good
[22:04] * Vanal scratches his beard
[22:04] [Jynaru] (That cigar must have been some STRONG stuff.)
[22:04] [Storyteller] allright
[22:04] [Vanal] (It's tobacco !)
[22:04] [Storyteller] whoever is leading?
[22:04] [Vanal] (and thanks for rmeinding me)
[22:04] * Vanal lights up a fresh stogie
[22:05] * Maris is leading for now as he can see in the dark
[22:05] [Storyteller] okay, roll again
[22:05] * Tabius looks over is soulder and says, "Hey Jynaru, what you thinkin, if you go down there you will get your horse to break a leg."
[22:05] [Maris] !ex 2
[22:05] [Storyteller] Maris, 10, 10, Successes : 4
[22:05] [Vanal] ...HE STOLE MY MOJO !
[22:05] * Jynaru follows along, dammit! I'm not crazy enough to ignore the entire rest of the group.
[22:05] [Storyteller] Maris, you manage to find a really good path. The party is able to run at full gallop for some of the way
[22:06] [Jynaru] (DAAAAAAAMN!!!!! Maris, we are not worthy to be in the presence of your mojo.)
[22:06] * Maris smirks at his luck
[22:06] [Storyteller] ok roll again maris.
[22:06] [Maris] !ex 2
[22:06] [Storyteller] Maris, 8, 3, Successes : 1
[22:06] [Storyteller] You continue travelling in the correct direction but you are forced to dismount to prevent damage to the horses.
[22:07] [Storyteller] The ground is too uneven here to ride them saftely
[22:07] [Storyteller] again
[22:07] [Maris] !ex 2
[22:07] [Storyteller] Maris, 6, 2, Successes : 0
[22:07] [Tabius] "Maris, tell me when you get tired and I will take the lead for a while."
[22:07] [Vanal] "*You* have survival skills, goldie ?"
[22:08] [Storyteller] Maris, you lead everyone on and you get to a big valley. You realize you've been going in the wrong direction for about ten minutes.
[22:08] [Maris] "Crap. Tab you might want to take over."
[22:08] [Maris] "I've never been so good at this survival stuff.
[22:08] [Tabius] "Not much, but I seem to have noticed a spot back a ways that would lead us around this mess.
[22:08] [Storyteller] (roll it)
[22:09] * Maris nods in the darkness and let's Tab lead the way.
[22:09] [Tabius] !exa 9
[22:09] [Storyteller] Tabius, 8, 7, 5, 4, 5, 8, 8, 6, 6, Successes : 4
[22:09] [Storyteller] Very well, you manage to backtrack your way back to the ridge and ride along it for a while
[22:10] [Storyteller] The darkness grows ever darker, and Luna shines above you. The trees sway in the winds.
[22:10] * Vanal turns to Maris"you realise he's never going to shut up about leading us when we couldn't, don't you ?"
[22:10] [Maris] "Yeah yeah. You rather we get hopelessly lost though?"
[22:10] [Storyteller] roll again

[22:10] [Vanal] "Point. But still..."
[22:10] [Tala] (lol)
[22:10] [Storyteller] Tala, you seem to agree with Tabius on the best way to proceed.
[22:10] * Maris stays behind Tab and checks up on the him as they go and gives him pointers
[22:11] [Vanal] (careful or Van will LITERALLY make your ears burn)
[22:11] [Maris] ((can we get a teamwork roll then for the trail finding?))
[22:11] [Storyteller] you guys wanna do it together?
[22:11] [Storyteller] Okay I'll get rid of the darkness penalty then.
[22:12] [Tabius] (*Sure, Tabs gots perception running all over the place, just no survival ;-)

[22:13] [Tabius] (*HOLY COW!)
[22:13] * Vanal is upstaged by Tab
[22:13] * Vanal seethes with anger
[22:13] [Vanal] (Jeez, do we like, cover 50 miles ?)
[22:13] [Storyteller] you ride along a riverbank for a while, the cool water trickling in the darkness.'
[22:13] [Tabius] (*Thats amazing, we both got as many success's as we rolled dice!)
[22:14] [Storyteller] (no, you can run at full gallop. I have to limit it to horse speed: 5 is max speed and so on.
[22:14] [Storyteller] (but that's pretty good on top that, so... ok)
[22:14] [Storyteller] 26 successes left. Morning comes
[22:15] [Storyteller] you've been awake for well over 20 hours at this point.
[22:15] * Vanal has tried to get catnaps as he's been riding
[22:15] * Maris decides to stick to the back and make sure no one get's left behind. He's got few skills that have to deal with riding in the daylight.
[22:15] [Storyteller] you find yourselfs in a grassy field as you ride on
[22:15] [Tabius] (*Cicada has probably been sleeping well, I hope)
[22:15] [Storyteller] Cicada has been hanging onto your back
[22:16] [Storyteller] But you don't really think she is sleeping.
[22:16] * Maris figures he'll sleep when this is over.
[22:16] [Jynaru] (That fits, considering so have I.)
[22:16] [Storyteller] Though she breathes slowly
[22:16] [Tabius] "Anybody else feel like catching some sleep and let the horses rest?'
[22:16] [Maris] "Might be a good idea to get a few hours sleep before we go on."
[22:17] [Tala] "If we don't what good would this trip be?"
[22:17] * Vanal nods
[22:17] [Vanal] "sounds good to me"
[22:17] [Tala] "If our horses die we will not make it back. If we have to fight Feather in this condition, so will we."
[22:17] [Maris] "What good is the horses passing out of exhaustion either."
[22:17] [Storyteller] The horses seem tired, as you have been riding them as hard as they can go for some time.
[22:17] * Maris shakes his head being way too tired."
[22:18] [Jynaru] "Sleep would be excellent right about now."
[22:18] * Tabius lets Cicada dismount then does so himself. Walking over to the stream he lets the horse drink his fill and refills his waterbag.
[22:18] * Maris dismounts and starts unsaddling his horse.
[22:18] * Vanal does all that dismounting aand gear-takign jazz
[22:18] [Maris] "Who wants watch then?"
[22:18] [Storyteller] Cicada looks over the field, apparently ready to take first watch.
[22:18] [Storyteller] Cicada volunteers, having rested well.
[22:19] * Tei dismounts and props his back against a tree.
[22:19] * Jynaru gets off his horse, and removes the gear.
[22:19] * Maris nods and throws out a sleeping roll from his pack after he finishes with his horse and finds a soft place to grab some rest. He's annoyed at not being able to take off his armor but sometimes speed takes precedence over comfort.
[22:20] * Tabius lets Cicada unsadle the horse and puts his back to a tree with his blade across his knees and nods off with a sigh of relief.
[22:21] * Jynaru takes out a small pillow, and stretches out on the grass.
[22:21] [Storyteller] The forest opens on a large grassy field. A river runs out of the forest here, and then runs north, along the boundries of the river.
[22:21] [Storyteller] You lay down to rest as Cicada stands watch. Sleep comes, in time.
[22:21] [Storyteller] How long do you want to sleep?
[22:21] [Maris] 2 to 3 hours
[22:22] [Vanal] 3 hours sounds good
[22:22] [Tabius] (*Was thinking more like 4?)
[22:22] [Storyteller] 20 hours you have been awake...
[22:22] [Maris] ((horses only need like 2 hours of sleep a day so I think 3 is fine for resting them.))
[22:22] [Storyteller] 26 now, I suppose.
[22:22] [Storyteller] for some of you.
[22:23] [Storyteller] It's about 7 am
[22:23] [Storyteller] so 3 hours?
[22:23] [Jynaru] (3 is better.
[22:23] [Storyteller] ok
[22:23] [Jynaru] (Need to get some riding in before noon hits, and it starts baking the people in armor alive.)

[22:30] [Storyteller] is the poison level in the Exalted book?
[22:30] [Jynaru] Consider it Coral Snake venom.

[22:32] [Jynaru] It's not exactly a coral snake, but it's closer to that than an poisonous frog.

[22:41] [Storyteller] first row that is

[22:42] [Storyteller] you're in the front? that'd be two blood apes.
[22:42] [Maris] ((lucky bastard))
[22:42] [Storyteller] Tei is in the second rank
[22:42] [Storyteller] I think
[22:43] [Tei] sounds about right
[22:43] [Storyteller] If you have stunts, this is the time for it.
[22:44] * Tala rushes between the two beasts, a whirlpool of razors, she drops down as she passes between them then rises up, spinning and slashing both of them, then flows back in a defensive stance
[22:44] [Tala] (2 attacks, 2 parries. after my attacks I activate flowing water defense)

[23:13] * Maris will move a boot onto the saddle and take teh other out of the stirrup propelling himself up as fast as he can and raising one of his fists into the middle of the bone cat hoping to knock it off course
[23:18] [Storyteller] can you repeat your action maris?
[23:18] [Jynaru] (True that..... Maris, you spiral upwards, ripping it open and shattering it's spine, whereupon it explodes like Fist of the North Star.)
[23:18] * Maris will move a boot onto the saddle and take teh other out of the stirrup propelling himself up as fast as he can and raising one of his fists into the middle of the bone cat hoping to knock it off course
[23:18] [Maris] He's going to follow it up with a series of 4 punches in an attempt to wear down the creature and hopes he doesn't break his horses back in the process of stopping this thing.
[23:18] [Maris] Powering each blow with Pounding Surf style.
[23:18] [Maris] A growl issues from his lips and spittle flies defying the cat to get past him.
[23:18] [Jynaru] (Ichor and pieces of cat cover Vanal.)
[23:19] [Vanal] (but yet...somehow...they don't stick to me)
[23:19] [Storyteller] allright, +3....

[23:22] [Storyteller] the great bone monster twists in the air, somehow avoiding your upward stroke. Your fist flies through it's bones, hitting nothing but air
[23:22] [Maris] ((Can I try a second punch to take it out of the air?))
[23:23] [Storyteller] sure you have a seris of four punches, that's -5 -6 -7 -8 -9

[23:24] [Storyteller] Allright, you connect with the great beast and smack it in midair. Some of the bones shatter off onto the ground and rain down on Vanal and Tala.
[23:25] * Maris throws his third punch happy with the last ones impact but wanting to do better.
[23:25] [Maris] !ex 8
[23:25] [Storyteller] Maris, 4, 3, 7, 9, 3, 4, 6, 8, Successes : 3

[23:27] [Storyteller] allright, your fist finds it's weak points, and it's spine cracks in two. It completes it's flight in midair, crashing to ground next to cicada and below jynaru, exploding into a cloud of dust and nasty bone knives.
[23:27] [Vanal] (Your kung-fu is strong)
[23:27] [Storyteller] Maris you go to the ground with it...
[23:28] * Maris tries to maneuver himself so he doesn't hit too hard.
[23:28] [Storyteller] but land on your feet, barely.
[23:28] [Maris] How's my horse?
[23:28] [Storyteller] Lying on the ground
[23:29] * Maris readies himself for any extra attacks.
[23:30] [Maris] Any attacks even
[23:30] [Storyteller] The blood ape to Tala's left bares it's teeth and snarls at Tala, still bleeding from the wounds it gave her. It quickly begins a furious assualt, lashing into her with both fists swinging.

[23:33] [Storyteller] or how ever many times you can....

[23:43] [Maris] minus two soak that time
[23:44] [Storyteller] As you fly through the air into Tala you manage to strike it in the face one last time. It falls to the ground, badly wounded, and as you and Tala collide you both take one damage and are knocked down.

[23:47] [Vanal] so lesse, how many apes are down ?
[23:47] [Storyteller] four apes, one cat
[23:47] [Vanal] cool
[23:47] [Storyteller] two apes left, both for you, Vanal.

[23:47] [Storyteller] your arrow bunced off the one on the right, maris

[23:48] [Storyteller] ?ex 9
[23:49] [Storyteller] yea, that would change things
[23:49] [Storyteller] The blood ape knocks the chakram out of the air as it streaks towards it. The chakram spins in a wide arc as it returns to cicada's hand
[23:50] [Storyteller] The blood ape then throws itself at Vanal, being the closest one at hand
[23:50] [Vanal] oh christ
[23:50] [Jynaru] (THREE Blood apes for Vanal. Don't you feel special?)

[23:53] [Storyteller] you could've only dodged one anyhow
[23:53] [Tabius] (*Principle of motion is a bitch*)
[23:53] [Tala] (hey, remember the one that attacked me?)
[23:53] [Vanal] anyhow...
[23:53] [Vanal] how much damage ?
[23:53] [Tala] (if he aborted to full dodge he could have dodged all)
[23:53] [Jynaru] (This is why you kill them BEFORE they get to go.)
[23:53] [Storyteller] The blood ape knocks you around a while but in the end only does 2L
[23:53] [Tala] (or until he ran out of dice, full dodge is -1 per)
[23:53] [Storyteller] (really?)
[23:53] [Storyteller] (ah)

[23:55] [Vanal] NOW can I dish out the payback ?
[23:55] [Storyteller] Allright, *NOW* Tei comes to help you out, rushing to beat on this ape that has just attacked you

[23:59] * Vanal whirls into the fray with a bestial roar, his Reaver Daiklaive glowing red-hot from the essence pouring through it, as he swings it in a gliterring metallic weave before him, taking a wide strike at one ape, then uses the momentum to whirl him ever-so-slightly and takes a sideways strike right into the second ape's rib cage (3 motes of Stoking Bonfire each).

[00:16] [Storyteller] and burn it.

[00:18] * Maris rolls his eyes but does as Tabius wants after he packs stores his supplies in a Bear bag that they can pick up on the way back. He keeps anything he thinks he might need but leaves the misscelanues camping junk.

[00:40] [Storyteller] no watchers

[00:40] [Vanal] "Look, this smells like a set-up."
[00:40] * Maris drops down
[00:40] [Tabius] "Damn."
[00:40] [Maris] "It went away."
[00:41] [Tala] "I'm sure."
[00:41] [Vanal] "Maybe we should burn the damned cat and get the hell out of here ?"
[00:41] * Maris nods
[00:41] [Maris] "Good idea to me."
[00:41] [Tabius] "We have enough firewood, lets get the rest of the beast picked up, burned, and get out of here.
[00:41] [Storyteller] there is a lot of firewood here
[00:41] [Storyteller] you'll need it all for the fire
[00:41] * Vanal picks up some
[00:41] [Tala] "After all, we gave them a six hour head start to send a messenger."
[00:41] * Maris heads back to the bone lion remains realizing something
[00:41] [Vanal] "Let's move it, troops ! You wanna live foreveR ?"
[00:42] * Maris is going at a sprint.
[00:42] * Jynaru re-holsters his bow, and grabs some more wood.
[00:42] [Tala] "We could very well have been tricked into abandoning the city."
[00:42] [Jynaru] "That doesn't sound too bad, Vanal."
[00:42] * Tabius sheaths is sword and picks up some firewood and head back to the camp.
[00:42] [Vanal] "Give me long life over immortality any day."
[00:42] * Tala picks up a staff length branch to use for a walking staff."
[00:42] [Tabius] "That or been sectioned of for termination.
[00:43] * Vanal sighs
[00:43] [Vanal] "4 weeks until leave....I would've been at home, with Ari. But noooooooooooooooooooo"

[00:44] [Storyteller] you don't notice anything missing. There are still a few bones lying around that need to be picked up, though.
[00:44] [Maris] Picking them up then

[00:44] [Tala] err -4.. I am at -2.
[00:44] [Storyteller] yes
[00:44] [Tala] and it just cost me a success
[00:45] [Storyteller] how strange
[00:45] [Storyteller] anyhow everyone makes it back okay
[00:45] [Storyteller] there's still a few bones lying around
[00:45] [Tabius] But Tala, your not carrying any wood and have a walking stick for balance.
[00:45] [Jynaru] (The epitome of grace, I am. Except when trying to figure out where to go to be graceful.)
[00:45] [Vanal] "Pick up the bones, I'll torch the pile."
[00:45] * Vanal gets ready to light some FIRE !
[00:46] * Tabius does a final sweep of the area.
[00:46] * Storyteller wonders if he can get Vanal to botch the burning stuff roll
[00:46] [Vanal] what roll ?
[00:46] [Vanal] I'm a fire aspect, remember ?
[00:46] [Storyteller] survival + wits
[00:46] * Tala sits back and tries to rest as much as possible
[00:46] [Storyteller] ah
[00:46] [Storyteller] but you have to build the fire correctly
[00:46] [Vanal] I need not two sticks to make fire
[00:46] * Jynaru stays far, far away from the bonfire. Wood aspect, all that.
[00:46] [Storyteller] or it won't be hot enough
[00:46] [Storyteller] seen charred bones, yes....
[00:46] [Storyteller] but make bones melt away?
[00:47] [Storyteller] that's what you gotta do...
[00:47] * Vanal lights a torch with his fire-aspecty abilities
[00:47] [Tala] (you can ignite it, but poorly constructed it's worthless. log cabin type should be right. Like a cook fire.)
[00:47] [Vanal] in that case, I'll roll
[00:47] [Storyteller] A block of wood lights on fire.
[00:47] * Vanal hefts the torch
[00:48] * Vanal plucks a cigar from his tunic and uses the torch to light it
[00:48] * Vanal blows a nice thick cloud of it in Tab's direction
[00:48] * Tabius goes to his horse and pulls some pouches out. After mixing a little of this and that he takes it and dumps it on the fire making it really burn.
[00:49] [Storyteller] what's that, occult?
[00:49] * Vanal hasn't LIT the fire yet
[00:49] [Vanal] "You guys found everything ?"
[00:49] [Jynaru] (Id go with lore, myself.
[00:49] * Maris looks for bones
[00:49] [Storyteller] you think you got 'em all
[00:49] [Jynaru] (Lore seems more line with chemical stuff, to me.)
[00:50] [Maris] "Think we got em all.
[00:50] [Maris] ((depends if he has to do chants and handwaving to make it.))
[00:50] [Storyteller] (not with his specialty though. Architecture and chemistry?)
[00:51] [Maris] ((if it's just some chemical reaction lore would work better. but asking a fire elemental to bless the fire would be more in line of occult))
[00:52] [Jynaru] (Can we just go ahead and melt some bones? Demons and anathema are probably rampagin through the streets as we speak...)
[00:52] [Storyteller] Heh
[00:52] [Jynaru] (Doing terrible nasty things like jaywalking and littering.)
[00:52] * Vanal just lights the bloody fire
[00:53] [Tabius] Occult or Lore.... yes. Bat dung and sulfer or something....
[00:53] [Storyteller] allright Tabius roll your wits
[00:53] * Tala sits back against a tree and tries to clear her mind, meditating on the situation while she rests
[00:53] * Vanal takes a few steps back
[00:53] * Maris sits and watches the fire smoking his own special blend to clear his head.
[00:53] [Jynaru] (Bat dung? Sulfur? Dear lord, he's casting Fireball!!! RUN!)
[00:54] [Vanal] ( D&D fireball...or Slayers Fireball ?)
[00:54] [Tabius] (*Just wits? or Lore with that?)
[00:54] [Tabius] (*Or occult?)
[00:54] [Storyteller] (lore , i won't give you the -2 penalty for not having lore, but it's not the right field.)
[00:54] [Jynaru] (Whichever one scorches your armor worse, probably.)
[00:54] [Tabius] !ex 6
[00:54] [Storyteller] Tabius, 7, 2, 10, 1, 7, 8, Successes : 5
[00:55] [Storyteller] seems to burn 'pretty well, turning a bright orange
[00:55] [Tabius] (*Not having lore? I am busting 4 lore man..... whats not to have?)
[00:55] [Storyteller] (no you got lore, if you didn't it'd be -2)
[00:55] [Tabius] (*AH!!!!!!)
[00:56] [Maris] "How long tell the fire finishes burning?"
[00:56] [Storyteller] maybe an hour or two
[00:56] [Maris] "We should leave someone with a horse to watch the blaze to gallop after us when the bones are done cooking."
[00:56] [Maris] "And the rest leave now."
[00:56] [Tala] "I will."
[00:56] [Tala] "I must rest anyhow."
[00:57] [Storyteller] down to three horses
[00:57] * Maris nods
[00:57] [Maris] "Anyone want to give me a ride?"
[00:57] * Tabius finds Tala and tells her he is going to help her out. He then proceeds to ignite his hands on fire, touch her hand and watch as fire covers her body ala Healing Flames. (*3 Lethal Health healed)
[00:57] [Storyteller] tabius you can cast your healing spell again soon, I think.
[00:57] [Storyteller] yea
[00:57] [Storyteller] there you go
[00:58] [Tabius] (*Could yesterday at 3pm, but didn't due to the meeting with the spirits that could have turned bad)
[00:58] [Storyteller] allright
[00:59] [Storyteller] So are you still staying behind Tala?
[00:59] * Storyteller points out you only have three horses left, not everyone can ride
[00:59] [Maris] "You all go ahead I'll come behind you."
[00:59] [Maris] "I can keep a pretty good pace by myself.
[01:00] [Tabius] we started with 5 horses, one is dead, there are 4 left, right?
[01:00] [Storyteller] no, started with four, one is dead, three left
[01:00] [Maris] ((if tala stays behind we lose one))
[01:01] [Maris] ((I'm pretty sure tala, vanal, tabius, and Jynaru all still have horses.))
[01:01] [Tabius] Tie would have to find a fide then and so would Vanal.... hrmm thats an ouchy.
[01:01] * Storyteller ponders this
[01:02] [Jynaru] Tei and Tala, Vanal and Maris/Jynaru and Maris, Tabius and Cicada.
[01:02] [Storyteller] ah
[01:02] [Tabius] not vanal, Maris, since his horse went down.
[01:02] [Storyteller] very well then
[01:03] [Storyteller] Maris lost his horse
[01:03] * Tabius (~web-Guest@cm245.80.120.24.lvcm.com) Quit (Quit: Leaving)
[01:03] [Storyteller] that's the only horse lost
[01:03] * Maris nods
[01:03] * Tabius (~web-Guest@cm245.80.120.24.lvcm.com) has joined #pvpexalted
[01:03] [Storyteller] wb.
[01:03] [Jynaru] So, maris, who are you gonna hitch a ride with?
[01:04] [Tala] Every horse carrying 2, especially with 3 or 4 in armor?
[01:04] [Maris] Both of you. I'm heavy. switching me off would be a good idea to spare the horse.
[01:04] [Tala] And Tab's horse carrying his bronze bottom and another rider?
[01:04] [Tabius] (Or heavier by 100lbs now)
[01:04] [Jynaru] No, 3 horses carrying two, one carrying one.
[01:04] [Jynaru] Hey, good idea.
[01:05] [Jynaru] Cicada doesn't weigh much.
[01:05] [Tala] Tab needs to learn Cirrus Skiff or the whirlwind
[01:05] [Maris] "Who's staying behind then?"
[01:05] [Tala] (that was ooc)
[01:05] [Jynaru] I suppose we could swap around to do the one armor per.
[01:05] [Maris] Probally a good idea.
[01:05] [Tabius] (*the skipp could hold me and 1 and only lasts a scene ;-( *)
[01:05] [Jynaru] Tala and Maris, Tei and Vanal, Tabius and Cicada, Me.
[01:06] * Maris nods
[01:06] [Tabius] "I do not suggest anybody stay behind. The bones are in the fire. We will know soon enough if it worked or not."
[01:06] [Maris] "I'm thinking someone might come and get the bones out of the fire before they finish burning.'
[01:07] [Maris] hey
[01:07] [GoldenH] hey
[01:07] * Maris sits down and leans against a tree and nods off
[01:07] * Jynaru shrugs.
[01:07] [Storyteller] whatd' I miss?
[01:07] [Tabius] (* (*This would be an excellent place to end things as well. Let the rest of the players get in on things next week.)
[01:07] [Tala] [We decided to end here]
[01:07] * Vanal sits down and goes to sleep
[01:07] [Storyteller] oh ok
[01:07] [Jynaru] ACtually, unless something happens on the wya, I'd rather get there before we break.
[01:07] [Maris] me too actually
[01:07] [Storyteller] well if you get there before we break I'll have to describe it
[01:08] [Tabius] (*Thats not a bad idea Jynaru/
[01:08] [Storyteller] and it gets hectic fast
[01:08] [Maris] we can get there and then we can stop
[01:08] [Maris] and you can describe it at the beginning of next week
[01:08] [Storyteller] allright then I guess you got there
[01:08] [Vanal] okay, we're there
[01:08] [Vanal] we describe it next week
[01:09] [Maris] what time do we get there?
[01:09] * Storyteller ponders
[01:09] [Jynaru] "There is a house in Tuchara, they call the rising sun.... it's been the ruin, of many blood, and lord, I know I'm one."
[01:09] [Storyteller] 2 pm
[01:09] * Jynaru strums the guitar.
[01:09] [Tala] (how many hours?)
[01:09] [Storyteller] you woke up at ten
[01:09] [Tabius] "Ok.....3-4 more
[01:09] [Storyteller] so two hours to get there
[01:09] [Storyteller] two hours to deal with ape-mess
[01:10] [Tala] (k, so my bashing level is back also, and all my essence)
[01:10] [Storyteller] ok
[01:10] [Tala] only 2 Lethal
[01:10] [Maris] ((we lose the bashing in 4 hours?))
[01:11] [Storyteller] you have to be resting
[01:11] [Tala] (riding peacefully?)
[01:11] [Storyteller] actually you'll loose it in 3, if you rest
[01:11] * Storyteller ponders this
[01:11] [Tabius] (*all but 15 of my essence, which is committed to Tala till tomorrow around 10:30am will be back)
[01:11] * Maris is sleeping for most of the two hours
[01:11] * Maris is clinging to Tala on the way there
[01:11] [Tala] (2 hours where I was really sitting resting, and 2 of riding?)
[01:11] [Storyteller] ok
[01:11] [Storyteller] yes then
[01:11] [Maris] coo
[01:11] [Vanal] alrighty, and it's 5 XP, I assume ?
[01:12] [Storyteller] yea+ whatever stunt bonus is
[01:12] [Tala] k
[01:12] [Storyteller] gg
[01:12] [Maris] you'll figure that out later I assume?
[01:12] *** Storyteller is now known as GoldenH
[01:12] [GoldenH] yea
[01:12] [Jynaru] (Riding slowly, with frequent stops, listening to the masterful blues guitar of Jyn... That should do it.)
[01:12] [Maris] k
[01:12] [Vanal] alrighty
[01:12] [GoldenH] right when i post the log
[01:12] [Tabius] What is the stunt bonus thing??
[01:12] [Maris] night then
[01:12] * Tabius Thanos
[01:12] [GoldenH] l8r
[01:12] *** Maris has quit IRC (Quit: )
[01:12] [GoldenH] if you do lots of stunts i igve you xp
[01:12] *** Tabius is now known as Thanos
[01:12] * Vanal yawns
[01:12] [Thanos] AH.... COOL!....... so we have to look in the logs to figure out how much then?
[01:13] [Vanal] welp, seeign as it's 2:20 here...
[01:13] [Vanal] It's bed time
[01:13] [GoldenH] I look inthe logs
[01:13] [GoldenH] l8r dt
[01:13] *** Vanal has quit IRC (Quit: Why do the Sith always take the saying 'strike me down and I will become more powerful than you can possibly imagine' as a dare ?)
[01:13] [Jynaru] Hmmmm... what's lots?
[01:13] * GoldenH itches self
[01:13] [GoldenH] two or three
[01:13] * Jynaru has continued his one combat roll, one stunt rule."
[01:14] [GoldenH] probably nobody got stunt XP this time
[01:14] [GoldenH] only one stunt each
[01:14] [Jynaru] Maris deserves one for that bone lion bit.
[01:14] [Thanos] ...... hehehehe like Tabs is going to be getting a stunt bonus EXP any time soon ;-)
[01:14] [Jynaru] Might give Tab one for the Zorro impression.
[01:14] [GoldenH] heh
[01:15] [GoldenH] but there was only one, alas
[01:15] [GoldenH] and I gave XP for one stunt last time, not so this time
[01:15] [Jynaru] We didn't have time for more, unless perhaps you wanted stunts like going through the grass with a fine toothed comb on picking up bones?
[01:15] [Thanos] Erm.... Torro was cool, but not worth an Exp, IMHO.
[01:15] [Tala] should i raise wp to 6 or wait and buy my first Ox?
[01:16] [Thanos] Things just don't last long enough ;-) , but don't think that we want walking Jugernauts to fight.
[01:16] * Jynaru pounces 10 yards, and triumphantly raises a finger bone!
[01:16] * Jynaru chuckles.
[01:16] [Jynaru] Alright, fearless leader.
[01:16] [Jynaru] Hmmm.... WP.
[01:16] [Jynaru] YOu spend WP on those spirit charms, and you've got essence to burn for soak.
[01:17] [Tala] [OT] HMm....so superman can't take a lightning bolt?
[01:17] [Jynaru] Raising a virtue gets you 1 more essence, too!
[01:17] [Tala] raising virtue gets me essence but not wp
[01:17] [Jynaru] Actually, virtue calculates WP.
[01:17] * Jynaru flips through the book.
[01:17] [Tala] I could justify raising compassion but i don't think conviction.
[01:18] [Tala] no, not after creation
[01:18] [Jynaru] Oh, yeaaah.. I see.
[01:19] [Tala] yeah I guess wp would be better. Give me 2 points of essence too
[01:19] [Tala] so I guess it's 10 xp to raise my wp to 6
[01:20] [Thanos] you are the lucky one, its 14 for me to go to 8..... and I don't know if its worth it :-P
[01:20] * Jynaru ponders.
[01:20] [Jynaru] Hey, GH, didn't you say you'd allow us to make up new charms?
[01:20] [GoldenH] maybe
[01:20] [GoldenH] if the charms suxxor than no
[01:21] [Thanos] I have another question. Since 'all' of my crafts is in Architecture, does it count as a new skill to get a rating of 1 dot in Crafts, Blacksmithing/metalworking?
[01:21] [Jynaru] I just want a normal 1 mote for two dice archery charm. Reflexive.
[01:21] * Jynaru doesn't have the ST companion, but he thinks that's a charm in it.
[01:21] [GoldenH] hmm, I don't think DBs get dice adders like that do they?
[01:21] [GoldenH] is'nt it one dice per one mote?
[01:21] [Tala] reflexive? that type of charm is always supplemental unless defensice
[01:22] [Tala] dbs get 1 mote 2 dice
[01:22] * Jynaru points at the description on page306, main book.
[01:22] [Tala] Stoking Bonfire Style
[01:22] [Jynaru] Oh, yeah...Whatever... don't mind me, brain dead.
[01:22] [GoldenH] ah
[01:22] [Thanos] (Throw is 1 for 2 dice, but I would have to check the errata to make sure it stayed the same)
[01:22] * Jynaru is so used to reflexive charms, he's almost forgotten about it.
[01:22] [Tala] but there limit is lower than solars
[01:22] [Jynaru] Limited to ability, but 1 for two dice.
[01:23] [Jynaru] Round down, so 3 motes gets you 5 dice if you don't have specialties.
[01:23] [GoldenH] ah
[01:23] [Tala] ST book has an archery charm that lowers environmental difficulties and another that doubles range increment
[01:24] [Tala] both are Air charms though
[01:24] * Jynaru boggles.
[01:24] [Jynaru] Air?
[01:24] [Tala] yes
[01:24] [GoldenH] ST guide has really wack charms
[01:24] [Tala] I always thought it made more sense
[01:24] [Tala] there's a wood thrown charm
[01:24] [Thanos] Which GCG said were not PC charms in one of his many posts.
[01:24] [Jynaru] WEll, I can see it, but I wonder if they gave that errata after DB book came out...
[01:25] [Tala] woah
[01:25] [Tala] look at Fire in the Belly Attitude
[01:25] [Tala] That is a kick ass charm
[01:25] [Tala] 2 motes per person
[01:26] [Tala] they get +1 willpower and valor
[01:26] [Tala] it's a presence charm
[01:26] [Jynaru] Now that's useful for going up against those pesky dawns.
[01:26] [Tala] Beats the crap out of the one in the book
[01:27] [Tala] That one that gives everyone 1 bruised is fairly worthless
[01:27] [Thanos] Exactly why they are not PC charms and were ment for NPC's before they even had the DB book out.
[01:27] [Tala] (imho)
[01:27] [Tala] If I were Van I would ask for Fire in the Belly
[01:27] [Thanos] (*for a group of extra's, having an extra bruized is the difference between life and death :-)
[01:28] [GoldenH] not really. six DBs with that charm can pretty much take anything down
[01:28] [Tala] If I wer GH I would raise the requirements to 4 and 2 or 3 essence and put it after the one that gives the bruised health level
[01:28] [Tala] only 1 use
[01:28] [Tala] can't stack it
[01:28] [GoldenH] ah
[01:29] * Jynaru considers GH as as Mills Lane from Celebrity Deathmatch.
[01:29] [Jynaru] Anyway, will you allow it?
[01:29] [Tala] hehehe check out Armor-Negating Strike technique. Water aspected martial arts charm
[01:30] [GoldenH] maybe
[01:30] [Jynaru] Ah. I'd have to combo it for much effectiveness anyway.
[01:30] [GoldenH] I'll have to consider.
[01:30] [GoldenH] yea
[01:30] [GoldenH] besides you should be saving up your XP for other things.
[01:31] [Jynaru] I'd rather have 4 arrows at 10 than one at 15. Now, paying 15 motes for 4 at 15, on the other hand...,
[01:31] [GoldenH] heh
[01:31] [Tala] hehehe
[01:31] [Jynaru] This is true....
[01:31] * Jynaru shrugs.
[01:31] [Jynaru] Although I wouldn't object to one arrow at 60.....
[01:32] [GoldenH] lol
[01:32] [Jynaru] I would call it "100mm Cannon Strike.", and love it, and hug it, and call it Monty Haul.
[01:32] [GoldenH] how about the
[01:33] [GoldenH] ST HAND OF BITCH-SLAPPING
[01:33] [Tala] you know what would suck if you had a Lunar in a clinch?
[01:33] [GoldenH] it?
[01:33] [Tala] shapechange to give it Porcupine Quills
[01:33] [Tala] you would die
[01:33] [GoldenH] heh
[01:33] [Jynaru] Leech-warforms?
[01:33] [Tala] it just has to hold on
[01:34] [Tala] and force 90 foot long quills though you
[01:34] [GoldenH] kinda like a fire aspect, only more blood.
[01:34] [Jynaru] Or perhaps skin of the poison arrow frog.
[01:34] [Tala] you either break free or die
[01:34] * Jynaru shakes his head.
[01:34] [Jynaru] That's just asking for the Wangaconda strangle.
[01:35] [GoldenH] heh
[01:35] [GoldenH] Lord of the Wangs
[01:35] [Tala] the lunar could also be come a 50 foot constricter with poison skin
[01:36] [Jynaru] Or he could just rip your throat out with his sharp pointy vorpal bunny teeth. The point is to kill them before they can tear you into tiny pieces.
[01:37] [Jynaru] 11 XP, and nothing to spend it on.... there are worse things in life.
[01:37] [GoldenH] heh
[01:38] [Thanos] 15 exp and waiting for 9 more and 3 months ;-)
[01:38] [Tala] After watching the Shadow and then Nick Fury I want to run an Adventure! gamre
[01:39] [Tala] hehehe
[01:39] [Tala] 1 xp
[01:39] * Jynaru runs some calculations...
[01:39] [Jynaru] WHat the hell takes 24 xp to learn?
[01:39] [Jynaru] WHOOO!!! Go Tala! You're rich, m'dear!
[01:39] [Tala] and waiting for 50 more so I can get my super exalted slaying combo of death
[01:40] [Tala] Theft of Essence + Flow Reversal + crashing wave style
[01:40] [Tala] muahahaha.
[01:40] [GoldenH] I need to find a ST
[01:40] [Tala] not really
[01:41] [Tala] but it's an awesome combo
[01:41] [GoldenH] how did you guys find an ST?
[01:41] [Jynaru] Don't look at me. I'm evil.
[01:41] [GoldenH] I need to find a ST
[01:41] [Jynaru] Besides, you've admitted you drive your STs crazy.
[01:41] [Jynaru] He advertised on the Exalted Compendium...
[01:41] [Thanos] Jynaru, you go from an essence of 3 to an essence of 4 (thats why you need 3 months)
[01:42] [GoldenH] damn, nobody's advertising on the compendium right now
[01:42] [Jynaru] This is true... Methinks the three months is going to be the hard bit.
[01:42] * Jynaru ponders.
[01:42] [Jynaru] You could TRY the official WW forums...
[01:43] [Jynaru] Or attempt to talk one of us into it, but I'd be a bit leery of that.
[01:43] [GoldenH] nah, those people aren't my style. only redeeming feature is GCG, but his last post was telling everyone he was raising the price of books
[01:43] [Jynaru] I run CoC, and that's scary. Hikari runs Sailor moon and Macho Women with Guns, and that's scarier.
[01:44] [Jynaru] What??? More expensive Exalted books?
[01:44] [GoldenH] Actually, what's even scarier is that I ran a freeform PBeM that was basically a mix of Rifts, CoC, Sailor Moon, and BeSM
[01:44] [Jynaru] Damn you Grabowski! You'll pay for this!! I SWEAR IT!!!
[01:44] [GoldenH] if you don't believe me go to the exalted forums....
[01:45] [GoldenH] and pray for your soul
[01:45] [Tala] Jyn, all he said was Lunar was gonna be like $30
[01:45] * Jynaru lives less than 50 miles from WW corporate Headquarters... he should go picket.
[01:45] [Tala] IIRC I paid that for DB
[01:45] [GoldenH] yea but now you'll pay 35 for lunar
[01:45] [Jynaru] Shock. Horror.
[01:46] * Jynaru figured they were raising it to 50, or something.
[01:46] [GoldenH] fortunately not
[01:46] [Tala] I can't wait for Lunar
[01:46] [GoldenH] I can't either....
[01:46] [Tala] They need to drop some more hints about how lunar charms work
[01:46] [GoldenH] When I get lunar I'm goig to throw 18 lunars at you and see if you can kill them.
[01:46] [Tala] Like putting a Lunar npc with stats in another book
[01:46] [Thanos] who is going to buy lunar? Give me the damn Sidreal book and then the rest of the Solar casts then Powers and Spirits, and never even print the lunar book.
[01:46] [Jynaru] I can't wait for ANY of the hardbacks, really.
[01:47] [Jynaru] Sidereal is of cours my favorite, followed closely by Abyssal, so we'll finally know what the hell is going on.
[01:47] *** Hikari has joined #pvpexalted
[01:47] [GoldenH] The only problem with that, werlynn, is that the books haven't been written. if the books HAD been written, we could buy it now
[01:47] [Thanos] If you want a lunar so bad go find a Werewolf book and let them shape change into other stuff :-P
[01:47] [GoldenH] 'sup hikari
[01:47] [Tala] I have zero interest in an *shudders and forces the word out with a retch* Alchemical *barf* book
[01:47] [GoldenH] I agree, Alchemicals are gay
[01:48] [Jynaru] Hey, Lunars are cool. It's gonna pack much back, especially on the wyld.
[01:48] [Thanos] oh no.... Alchemical book..... I think its covered in Iteration X quite well :-P
[01:48] [Jynaru] 'ello!
[01:48] [Jynaru] How was the match?
[01:48] [GoldenH] I wanna be a farie noble thing
[01:48] [GoldenH] that will EAT YOUR SOUL
[01:48] [Jynaru] Alchemicals require special love and care to work well.
[01:48] [GoldenH] but not your's, hikari
[01:48] [Tala] I want Lunar then Sidereal
[01:48] [Tala] I don't really need a book for Abyssals
[01:48] [Hikari] I di terrible in the individuals, but the pair contests went fine.
[01:48] [GoldenH] I dunno, the deathlords are really what I want to hear more about. I figure I'll completely revamp them
[01:49] [GoldenH] well that's bad and good respectively
[01:49] * GoldenH gives hikari.. a ... vorpal cookie
[01:49] [Jynaru] I rather like the concept of chucking some people deep down into the Bowels of Autochthon.
[01:49] [Tala] Alchemicals require special love and care....and ky
[01:49] [Hikari] AAAAAARRGGGHHH!!! HEELPP!!! IT BITES MEEE !! NOOOoooo!!!
[01:49] [GoldenH] maybe, but I d...
[01:49] * GoldenH takes the vorpal cookie away
[01:49] * GoldenH puts the vorpal cookie in a special box
[01:50] * Hikari breathes a sigh of relief.
[01:50] * Jynaru shrugs. That's good, at least.
[01:50] [GoldenH] You're supposed to eat it, not put it down your dress
[01:50] [Hikari] Hey!
[01:50] * GoldenH ducks
[01:50] [Hikari] You said you had removed the spy-cams!
[01:50] [GoldenH] I did!
[01:51] [GoldenH] Why would I lie to you?
[01:51] [Hikari] You are not supposed to just put up new ones!
[01:51] * GoldenH gulps
[01:52] [GoldenH] Are you sure those are mine?
[01:52] [GoldenH] ....
[01:52] [Hikari] ....
[01:52] [Hikari] Fiat....!
[01:52] [Tala] did Garbage do a song for Powerpuff Girls?
[01:52] *** Tala is now known as Werlynn
[01:52] [GoldenH] don't know
[01:52] [Jynaru] Hey! I never promised not to put spycams in there!
[01:53] [Jynaru] I didn't break my word, or anything...
[01:53] [Hikari] So, tell me, did everyone get killed?
[01:53] [GoldenH] he was probably just trying to protect you
[01:53] *** Jynaru is now known as FiatVictrix
[01:53] [GoldenH] no actually they killed my vast army with no casualties
[01:53] [Werlynn] no, this guy just sounds like the lead singer of garbage when he sings some of the lines
[01:54] [GoldenH] so we can do that side thing sometime later...
[01:54] [Hikari] And so all falls for the glorious Realm...
[01:54] [FiatVictrix] Vast army consisting of 6 blood apes and a bone lion.
[01:54] [Thanos] Jyranu, could you explain the Ultimate Combo for me?
[01:54] [GoldenH] I'm going to have to find some stronger baddies
[01:54] * GoldenH ponders sadly
[01:54] [GoldenH] Maybe six dawn castes.
[01:55] [GoldenH] Somebody's getting very angry
[01:55] [Hikari] Six monkeys?! Couldn't you at least have put the Chimpanzer and Orangutank in there as well?
[01:55] [GoldenH] no
[01:55] [FiatVictrix] Bring em. Those thingies on their foreheads makes good targets. ;)
[01:55] [FiatVictrix] Ultimate Combo? AS in Killer Instinct?
[01:55] [GoldenH] monkeys are a girls' best friend.
[01:55] [Thanos] No as in what you would use 50 Exp on?
[01:55] [GoldenH] I'd just buy a solar level spell
[01:56] [GoldenH] or maybe a few terrestrial spells
[01:56] [FiatVictrix] Oh, damn....
[01:56] [FiatVictrix] Command: 25, I think.
[01:56] [GoldenH] Are we talking DB only?
[01:56] * FiatVictrix doesn't really have access to much asswhoopin, even with 50 xp.
[01:57] [GoldenH] I think the key would be to take Snake Style and get that single-hit kill combo
[01:57] [FiatVictrix] No nifty IO arts, no sorcery... I can't build much of anything...
[01:57] [Thanos] Well you posed one earlier Fiat? I was wondering how you got a Simple, a Supplimental and an Extra action charm into the same combo.
[01:57] [Werlynn] Theft of Essence + Flow Reversal + crashing wave style
[01:58] [Werlynn] you can
[01:58] [FiatVictrix] That's Werlynn, not me.
[01:58] [Werlynn] If you use a simple with multi action you have to use the simple a number of times = to the actions you get
[01:59] [Werlynn] since the simple involves a martial arts dice roll I supplement the dice rolls with the theft of essence
[01:59] [Werlynn] I'm not really shooting for a combo like that
[01:59] [Werlynn] but I looked it over and I am about 85% sure I didn't miss any rules
[02:00] [Hikari] So the city is saved? Everyone is happ? And I can continue my quest to get Tabius and Juniper into the same bed.
[02:00] [GoldenH] No actually they just got to Feather's new hideout
[02:00] [Hikari] Ah.
[02:00] [FiatVictrix] Actually... I think for 50 XP I should be able to afford 100mm Cannon Strike.
[02:00] [Hikari] For the next big battle?
[02:00] [Werlynn] the theft of essence should make up for most of the essence spent on the flow reversals
[02:00] [GoldenH] not really fiat. if you want that charm, you're going to have to get me a hot co-ed
[02:01] [GoldenH] and 50 xp
[02:01] [FiatVictrix] Nope. Next Episode, we talk to Feather McMullet, the mafia man.
[02:01] [Thanos] Except you can't use Simples more than once per round ;-)
[02:01] [GoldenH] sure you can... if it's in a combo
[02:01] [FiatVictrix] ONly onw hot co-ed?
[02:01] [Werlynn] Than: Extra Action Charm
[02:01] [GoldenH] Only one, fiat. I'm rather pure for a college man.
[02:02] [FiatVictrix] Will you pay for plane fare? I could probably get two if I didn't have to pay to get them there...
[02:02] [GoldenH] I'm broke, fiat.
[02:02] [GoldenH] I got a handful of quarters
[02:02] [GoldenH] that's it
[02:02] * FiatVictrix chuckles.
[02:02] * Werlynn notes that Fiat said the could get the Co-ed there, not that she'd do anything......
[02:02] [GoldenH] well NOTHING can withstand my sexx0r
[02:03] [GoldenH] I accidentally hit on a girl twice my age, I feel bad.
[02:03] * FiatVictrix smiles. Werlynn knows how I think.
[02:03] [GoldenH] she was hot though.
[02:03] [Thanos] Dude, do you even know how much essence that will cost?
[02:03] * GoldenH sighs
[02:03] * Werlynn is a nice guy. Nice guys always lose so =(
[02:03] [FiatVictrix] 15. Per shot.
[02:03] [Werlynn] Than: That's why I included Theft of essence. Each attack drains essence
[02:04] * FiatVictrix ponders some things.
[02:05] [FiatVictrix] What sort of features are you looking for in your hot co-ed?
[02:05] [FiatVictrix] Particular hair/eye color, measurements, foreign accent?
[02:06] [Thanos] And willpower?
[02:06] [GoldenH] hmm, not picky. 36-42-36?
[02:06] * GoldenH doesn't remeber
[02:07] [Thanos] erm GH do you mean 36-24-36?
[02:07] * FiatVictrix ponders.
[02:07] [GoldenH] yea
[02:07] [GoldenH] probably
[02:07] [Werlynn] It is meant as an exalted slayer. Combine probable damage from each shot with the likely auto-lethal from each flow reversal and you are done. It's 4motes and 1 wp+ 8 and a willpower per shot
[02:07] [FiatVictrix] Damn. That makes it a bit harder.
[02:07] * FiatVictrix pulls out the "little purple book"
[02:07] [Hikari] Are those inches?
[02:08] [Werlynn] 36-42-36? ROFL
[02:08] * GoldenH grins
[02:08] [GoldenH] aom
[02:08] [GoldenH] ain't no girl like that
[02:08] [Werlynn] he likes 'em round
[02:08] [Hikari] If you mean inches, then I cannot help you.
[02:08] [GoldenH] centimeters?
[02:09] [Thanos] all 3 get used the each time, thats 12 essence +1 willpower per strike +1 willpower to get it all off to start with.... I will admit its nasty, but you have to do damage to start with to get 2 of them to work and the auto healthlevels are way to expensive to get.
[02:09] [Hikari] And besides I am not co-ed.
[02:09] [GoldenH] oh, right
[02:09] [FiatVictrix] If she ain't got buns his anaconda don't want none, hon.
[02:09] [Werlynn] no
[02:09] [FiatVictrix] He's merely looking for porn star/DoA 3 caliber women.
[02:09] [Werlynn] you only pay the 4 for the extra action charm once
[02:09] [Hikari] Ah.
[02:09] [GoldenH] so]
[02:10] [GoldenH] I'll give you the charm
[02:10] [Thanos] (*Erm I beg to differ, my grandmother was 36-26-36 when she got married ;-) I have dated a girl that was 34-24-34 DDD before :-)
[02:10] [GoldenH] if you do that
[02:10] [Hikari] Any preferences in Martial Arts style?
[02:10] [GoldenH] must know the Knock StoryTeller on Back charm
[02:10] [GoldenH] or at least animal magnetisim
[02:11] [Thanos] But every time you use the extra action charm, you HAVE to use the Simple charm which means you have to use the supplimental as well.
[02:11] [Werlynn] you only use the extra action charm once in the turn
[02:11] [Hikari] Does attracting musquitoes count as animal magnetism?
[02:11] [Werlynn] each extra action in the charm requires I pay for the simple and the supplemental
[02:11] [GoldenH] only if you also have a can of tobasco sauce
[02:11] * FiatVictrix rummages around for his phone.
[02:12] [Werlynn] Crashing Wave isn't 4 per attack, its 4 to get all the attacks
[02:12] [Thanos] (read the extra action charm, you have to pay for each extra action, which gives you dice (ie and action) which the book states you have to use the simple on every action and every time the simple is used you have to suppliment it to get essense from the damage.
[02:12] [Hikari] Hmmm, can't help you then.
[02:12] [FiatVictrix] I'll see what I can do.
[02:12] * FiatVictrix sends his browser to HotWire to find airfare.
[02:12] [GoldenH] cool
[02:12] [Werlynn] yes
[02:12] [GoldenH] oh and she's gotta be smmooooth
[02:13] [Hikari] Hey Fiat, can you get me a hot co-ed?
[02:13] [Thanos] (*so it is.... ok 12 to start then 8_1 therafter, still to expensive to get 1 auto damage)
[02:13] [FiatVictrix] How smoooooth? Shaved smoooooth? Smoooooooth like butter? Smoooooth as silk?
[02:13] [Thanos] hehehe
[02:13] [Werlynn] I have 3 charms in the combo. I pay 1wp for combo. 4m for the extra action charm, each extra action I spend 4m, 4m1w
[02:13] * FiatVictrix ponders.
[02:13] [GoldenH] somewhere between butter and silk
[02:14] [GoldenH] isometric.spaceninja.com
[02:14] [FiatVictrix] It's more expensive to fly to Japan, but I could probably round one up.
[02:14] [Werlynn] If your opponent is dead it's not too expensive, especially since you still aren't counting the essence theft
[02:14] [FiatVictrix] I assume you're talking male co-ed, of which I have less.
[02:14] * FiatVictrix jots that down.
[02:14] [Thanos] I am counting that the guy has soak, more so than you can do damage ;-)
[02:14] [Werlynn] Theft requires hit, not damage
[02:14] [Hikari] Actually I think my SO would prefer female...
[02:14] [Thanos] Since he is an exalted you know
[02:14] [Werlynn] theft is not resistable
[02:15] [Hikari] And, actually, so would I.
[02:15] [Werlynn] except by dodge/parry
[02:15] [Thanos] damn it, wasn't it required for damage?
[02:15] [FiatVictrix] Still, I have a few ripped and ready menfolk I can call upon.
[02:15] [Thanos] Holy cow, that is sweet!
[02:15] [Hikari] Hmmmm, call me later. SO in the house.
[02:16] * FiatVictrix nods.
[02:16] [Thanos] Ah.... I was looking at 'successful attack'....
[02:16] [Werlynn] =)
[02:16] [FiatVictrix] That makes it easier. If you can get his preferences, that'd be easier. Have him email me.
[02:17] [Hikari] (I warn you, he might do it...)
[02:17] * FiatVictrix tilts his pimp hat jauntily.
[02:17] [Werlynn] Woops, all my attackes got reduced to 1 die and a few of my auto-lethals were resisted. Guy still probably taked 5 lethal and I don't spend that much essence
[02:17] [FiatVictrix] (I warn you, so might I.)
[02:17] * Hikari laughs.
[02:17] [Werlynn] just willpower
[02:17] [Werlynn] so it means I can't repeat it
[02:18] [Werlynn] I still maul my opponent and suck him dry of essence
[02:18] [FiatVictrix] (You'll have some competition, so get ready!)
[02:18] * FiatVictrix 'll have to work hard if he wants a permanent arrangement. Not sure how hard it would be to get a transfer to a Japanese university.
[02:18] [Hikari] (hey, maybe that is what I need to 'get in shape')
[02:18] [Thanos] 5 leathal (or -2 to dice pool 5 times is bad ;-)
[02:19] * FiatVictrix chuckles.
[02:19] [Hikari] (and I might just steal his hot co-ed from him)
[02:19] [Werlynn] yeag
[02:19] [Werlynn] I would pretty much cripple my opponent if the ST stacked those -2s
[02:19] * GoldenH 's brain, instead of boggling, merely increases in accuracy
[02:19] [GoldenH] boooooobies
[02:20] [Thanos] still I would rather take Excellent Strike, Hungry Tiger Techique, and Leaping Tiger Attack ;-)
[02:20] [FiatVictrix] (THere's always that chance... You'd make a hell of a lot of money runnin a porn site, too.)
[02:20] [FiatVictrix] Does he mind blondes?
[02:20] [Hikari] His answer: No.
[02:20] [Thanos] of course the -2 woulds stack (at least I would things so)
[02:20] [Werlynn] I would want Exellent Strike, Hungry Tiger, Fire and Stones Strike, and Thunderbolt Attack Prana
[02:21] [FiatVictrix] Voluptuous a turn-off?
[02:21] [Hikari] He likes: "Well-proportioned"
[02:21] [FiatVictrix] Think big hourglass shape, and the Top Heavy merit from MWwG.
[02:21] [Thanos] TAP doesn't allow you to close ;-)
[02:22] [Werlynn] if you are already in range?
[02:22] * FiatVictrix ponders.
[02:22] [FiatVictrix] I'll have to do some measurements... not that I mind, of course.
[02:22] [Thanos] and if your not doing enough damange after HTT and LTA, FSS isn't going to help you much....
[02:22] [Hikari] (I think that last remark of his was meant to make me happy, more than anything else..)
[02:23] [Werlynn] With thunderbolt you could do minimum of 2 lethal
[02:23] [FiatVictrix] Bah. It's a cop out. that can mean ANYTHING.
[02:23] [Werlynn] well minimum 0
[02:23] [Werlynn] no min 2 lethal
[02:23] [FiatVictrix] I know, I've used it myself many times.
[02:23] [Werlynn] you make the 1 auto die automatic and double it with Thunderbolt
[02:23] [Thanos] if the badguy has ISoB or IBA on you can get 0 ;-)
[02:23] [FiatVictrix] Min 1. Soak, werlynn, soak.
[02:24] [Werlynn] If bad guy has one of those you dont use the combo
[02:24] [Werlynn] Fiat: Fire and Stones makes that 1 die automatic. Thunderbolt makes it 2 automatic
[02:24] [Werlynn] thunderbolt is after the damage is rolled
[02:24] [FiatVictrix] Ah... I see.
[02:25] * FiatVictrix wonders how he's going to set this up.
[02:25] [FiatVictrix] 1 co-ed to GH, one co-ed to Hikari and SO.
[02:25] [Thanos] TAP is doubled after the to hit roll, but before soak. LTA is doubled after Soak.
[02:25] [Hikari] Umh, I'll have to go take a shower. School party tonight.
[02:26] [Werlynn] nope
[02:26] [Werlynn] pg 193
[02:26] [Thanos] but before damage is rolled.
[02:26] [Werlynn] damage is rolled then doubled
[02:26] [FiatVictrix] Gh wants: Smooth. Hikari wants: Stamina, most likely, and an open mind.
[02:26] [FiatVictrix] Yeah...riiiiiiiight. Shower.
[02:26] [Thanos] go read it again Werlynn I just did
[02:26] [Thanos] (*SHOWER SCENE!)
[02:26] [Werlynn] I am reading it
[02:26] [Thanos] (*Sorry had to )
[02:26] * FiatVictrix chuckles.
[02:26] [FiatVictrix] Have fun, Hik.
[02:27] [Werlynn] "The character makes an attack as normal, but the amount of damage he inflicts is doubled after it is rolled."
[02:28] [Thanos] Oh heck, thats the one me and my Sunday night ST had a raw about we decided it was refering to the dice to attack that got converted into damage.
[02:28] [Werlynn] Leaping Tiger says: The character makes the attack roll as normal, but the amount of damage he does is doubled after soak but before damage is rolled"
[02:28] [FiatVictrix] Wait a minute... why am I sending out all the co-eds!?! I deserve some too!
[02:29] [FiatVictrix] Flying F enterprises: "Yes, we DO give a flying fuck!"
[02:29] [Thanos] TAP is a difference of oppinion as to what it effects. Heck, give me LTA any day if its your way ;-)
[02:29] [Werlynn] Doubleing after Ex Strike/Hungry tiger has alot of potential but those can all fail.
[02:30] * FiatVictrix puts a sticky note on the monitor to remind him of his co-ed duties.
[02:31] [Werlynn] But if you are doing it with LTA then I'd include 1 weapon 2 blows and do it twice. "CaptainDawnCaste rushes past his opponent with a furious slash, then turns and rushes back through him with an equally powerful slash, ending up out of melee range w/ his opponent as well."
[02:31] [Thanos] Potential is good, if you spend 10 essence on Fire and stone to make sure its damage you are basicly removing your ability to do another Combo
[02:32] [Werlynn] Looks cool. Of course, I think leaping into the air and bringing your sword down in a powerful downward chop is too (the TAP method)
[02:33] [Werlynn] If you get 10 dice past soak (quite possible) then with Fire and Stone + Thunderbolt you just did 20 damage
[02:33] [Thanos] Two hits one blow is two seperate rolls, which means you have to spend essence on Excellent strike and Hungry TT and Leaping 2 times each
[02:34] [Werlynn] With just Exstrike and Hungry Tiger I got 25 damage past soak of like 12. There was a down right mindboggling # of 10s
[02:34] [Werlynn] I know that
[02:34] [Werlynn] but 1 defense roll.
[02:34] [Werlynn] 1 crappy defense roll = 1 dead opponent
[02:35] [Werlynn] (I assume moderately good rolls)
[02:35] [Thanos] hehehe depends if he can spend 6 essence and get out of all of it with 1 crappy dodge charm :-P
[02:35] [Thanos] Depends on how much dice you have to throw on which one you want to use. Me personaly the character I was going to use that combo with has 35 dice to sping after EStrike
[02:36] [Werlynn] After my npc did that I took him out of my game by having his next opponent use the Perfect Block on his next 30damage uberstrike then kill him in 1 shot
[02:37] [Werlynn] My npc was doing too much of the damage
[02:37] [Thanos] yeah, NPCs seem to ;-)
[02:37] [Werlynn] the other dawncaste uses snake style
[02:37] [Werlynn] I keep trying to get him to make combos and buy athletics charms
[02:38] [Thanos] Now snake style is just fun.
[02:38] [Werlynn] I like it
[02:38] [Thanos] However, the Tiger Form and TLA with hiding in shadows and stuff, that is way nasty.
[02:38] [Werlynn] Make an armor-piercing-crippling-(insert LTA or TAP, your prefrence) combo
[02:38] [Werlynn] yes
[02:39] [Werlynn] He would have done Tiger Form if Dawn was out when we started
[02:40] [Werlynn] now that I have fixed the combat rules (before we were declaring our actions before initiative and splitting actions at any time in the turn)
[02:40] [Thanos] Oh shit..... Fire and Stone is limited by your STR.......you can only put 5 into it.... :-P
[02:41] [Werlynn] FaS + TAP if you get 5 dice past soak you just did 10 damage
[02:41] [Werlynn] now he is liking Snake form alittle more I think
[02:41] [Thanos] yeah, 10 is good..... but not even what one of my characters often gets off without FAS, TAP, or TLA
[02:41] [Werlynn] he kicks more ass because stuff pretty much has to take his hits w/o defending if it wants to attack him
[02:42] [Thanos] People can still declare a dodge as their first action and attack as their second.
[02:42] [Thanos] Regardless of their inish they get to dodge that first attack on them ;-)
[02:43] [Werlynn] We haven't played in like 3 months. It's pissing me off because I have 2 players. I can't just play w/ 1 and the other one seems to have a problem letting me know when he can play
[02:43] [Thanos] is it online?
[02:43] [Werlynn] You can't split like that until your initiative
[02:43] [Werlynn] IRL
[02:43] [Werlynn] otherwise you are limited to abort to parry or full dodge
[02:44] [Werlynn] 1 parry or constant dodging
[02:44] [Thanos] don't you declare your actions before you roll initiative?
[02:44] [Werlynn] no, according to the book actions are declared at your time in the initiative like we do it here
[02:44] *** Pimp_Daddy_F has joined #pvpexalted
[02:44] [Werlynn] we did that before
[02:45] [Werlynn] it made combats ALOT slower
[02:45] [Werlynn] Stuff that should have been easy was harder
[02:46] *** FiatVictrix has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
[02:47] [Werlynn] Now they will be facing my Fairfolk-GodBlooded/Exalted. (stronger than a godblood, weaker than a celestial)
[02:47] [Thanos] :-) my ST must have decided to use old WW rules then. Everybody has to declare what they are doing before inish is rolled. Only thing you can change is to abort to a different action and that takes your entire action unless you have cool charms or something.
[02:47] * Hikari is back.
[02:47] [GoldenH] I did that in the first sessoin, I think, didn't I?
[02:47] [GoldenH] wb
[02:48] [Thanos] Yeah GH
[02:48] [Werlynn] Wyldbarbarians "possessed" by fairfolk. Look like Ativus (ala Earth Final Conflict) with those energy claw thingies. They'll have some charms that give them extra dice and stuff to spice things up
[02:48] [Thanos] I might talk to my ST when the game starts up again. It would make combat much faster and make certain characters a lot more cool. Like the guy with all 5 dodge charms and some 22 dice to dodge when he has flow like blood up and running
[02:48] [GoldenH] I dunno, the only reason I'd make everyone declare first is if I wanted to screw you over.
[02:48] [Hikari] Thanks.
[02:48] [Werlynn] and I may have the claws do Agg
[02:49] [Thanos] I would suggest against anything doing Agg that isn't specificly stated somewhere.
[02:49] [Werlynn] my 2 solars housed a river dragon in 1 turn
[02:50] [Werlynn] I gave my players a hearthstone that gives Stamina Agg soak
[02:50] [Thanos] There was what, 1 charm that allowed Agg damage in the first game (against everything that is there are others that let you against Undead)
[02:50] * Hikari jumps clumsely around, tryimg to get into her dress.
[02:50] [Werlynn] I wasn't settled on the Agg thing
[02:50] [Thanos] Oh, well never mind then, you are making Agg a normal part of the game then. And next time, let the River Dragon get the jump on them after a fight with a bunch of normal barbarians
[02:51] [Werlynn] I'm not planning to make agg normal
[02:51] [Werlynn] but I needed a L4 earth hearthstone
[02:51] [Werlynn] and gave them that.
[02:51] [Thanos] each?
[02:51] [Werlynn] I don't want them to feel I gave them something that they wouldn't use
[02:51] [Werlynn] no, just 1 hearthstone
[02:51] [Thanos] Ah.....
[02:51] [Werlynn] but they also both have armor
[02:52] [Thanos] Armor I have found is a GOOD thing most of the time :-)
[02:52] [Werlynn] One has a belt I made up
[02:52] [Werlynn] it basically casts solar plate on him
[02:52] [GoldenH] does anybody have the part of the log I missed when I lagged out those two times?
[02:52] [Thanos] I love Solar Plate :-)
[02:52] [Werlynn] I made it kind of expensive though
[02:53] [Thanos] there was very little missed GH.
[02:53] [GoldenH] still i wanna put it in the log
[02:53] [Werlynn] 10 to commit the belt like the charm, and when it casts the charm it has to recharge from the hearthstone in it before it can be used again
[02:53] [Werlynn] while it is recharging he doesn't get the essence from the stone
[02:53] [Thanos] 10 to commit! DANG......
[02:53] [Werlynn] the charm costs 10 to use
[02:54] [Werlynn] every time
[02:54] [Werlynn] the armor is alot of soak iirc
[02:54] [Thanos] yeah, so, give me A reinforced Breastplace made of Orc
[02:54] [Werlynn] Plus I made the belt semi-sentient
[02:54] [Werlynn] not quite ala witchblade
[02:55] [Thanos] more soak by 2 lethal, only costs 4 to commit, and same negatives...... 10 to commit is like dang skippy.... it better be cool like Witchblade for that.
[02:55] [Werlynn] He first discovered what the belt did (none of their testing could make it activate) when it self-activated to block the riverdragon's suprise attack
[02:56] [Thanos] interesting.....
[02:56] [Werlynn] but the guy wearing it is the martial arts guy
[02:56] [Thanos] that is bad!!!!!
[02:56] [Werlynn] he is switching to melee
[02:56] * Werlynn is looking for the stat sheet for the belt
[02:57] [Thanos] Ah.... good :-)
[02:57] [Werlynn] this armor is 10L 10B
[02:57] [Werlynn] -1 mobility
[02:57] [Werlynn] 0 Fatigue
[02:59] [Werlynn] Fortunately it only self activates if it needs to in order to preserve him
[03:00] [Thanos] Just like the charm...... the fatigue rating isn't much until it gets up past 1
[03:00] [Werlynn] like if he is unaware of an attack
[03:00] [Werlynn] if he is ready to defend then it won't self-activate
[03:00] [Werlynn] I forget if I let him do it reflexively though
[03:00] [Werlynn] I don't think so
[03:00] [Thanos] hrmmm a nice ability I must say......
[03:01] [Werlynn] the belt can do it reflexively but he needs to focus to turn it on otherwise
[03:01] [Thanos] The fatigue rating of any kind of armor is all but negligable until it gets to 2 then its can be hurtful.
[03:01] [Werlynn] One of their tests was to have the other player attack him but that didn't activate it because he knew of the attack
[03:01] [Werlynn] and was willfully taking it
[03:02] [Thanos] Very interesting....... I would have slapped him in the back of the had with the flat of my sword after I had made the pretend hit, but thats just me ;-)
[03:02] [Werlynn] I finally had to make them stop testing it
[03:02] [Thanos] hehehe.
[03:02] [Werlynn] There was no way to give them a clue w/o giving it away
[03:03] [Werlynn] They tried for over an hour
[03:03] [Werlynn] "Nope." "nothing" "nada" "you take 1 bashing" "don't bother, that would just hurt."
[03:03] [Thanos] Now my Zenith just needs something that will perminantly put ISoB on her and I will be all happy.
[03:03] [Werlynn] Oo
[03:04] [Werlynn] Thats somethign that would make the belt worth 10 motes
[03:04] [Werlynn] anything under stamina in dice of damage after soak is negated?
[03:04] [Thanos] That and a ring or some duhicky to give +4dex+6Melee ;-)
[03:04] [Werlynn] would that be worth 10 essence?
[03:04] [Werlynn] It's already a L4 arty
[03:04] [Thanos] Ah......YES, that would be worth the additional, definitalyt
[03:05] [Werlynn] now they should like it
[03:06] [Thanos] 10/10 -1 dex autodefending and no damage if less than your Sta in dice after soak..... :-)
[03:06] [Werlynn] considering it looks like a big wrestling championship belt
[03:07] [Werlynn] Not quite that bad, but you get the idead
[03:07] [Thanos] hrmmmmm..... well I have a LOT of ideas for both a fighter and a Sorcerer for a Solar, I will have to see which I use when next I have a game to join.
[03:07] [Werlynn] gaudy
[03:07] [Werlynn] big broadbelt
[03:07] [Thanos] very....I get the idea well.....
[03:07] [Werlynn] I invented it on the spot
[03:08] [Thanos] HOLY COW its after 1pm I have to get in bed and try to sleep like 1 hour ago :-P
[03:08] [Thanos] Later ladies and gents
[03:08] *** Thanos has quit IRC (Quit: Leaving)
[03:08] [GoldenH] heh
[03:08] [Werlynn] the other item was a cool dagger
[03:08] [Werlynn] (I think it's cool)
[03:08] [Werlynn] It does agg to demons
[03:08] [Werlynn] and acts like a demon ward = the circle of the demon
[03:08] [Werlynn] 1st circle, L1 ward. 3rd Circle, L3 warc
[03:09] [Werlynn] d
[03:09] [Werlynn] oh well
[03:09] [Werlynn] 4 am here
[03:09] [Werlynn] 2 nights up this late is bad so its off to sleep
[03:10] [Werlynn] gnight
[03:10] *** Werlynn has quit IRC (Quit: )
