Session Start: Sat Feb 08 22:29:44 2003 [22:29] Useing Elemental Concentration to learn Essence-Dousing Wave Attack [22:29] ok [22:30] 5 days training time, Elemental Conenctration makes 1 day = 1 week, so i should be able to finish it [22:30] if i have the rest of the day [22:30] * Storyteller nods sagely [22:30] sounds ok [22:31] * Storyteller notes you're likely to be disrupted. not going for the strategy meeting? [22:32] After the last oh so useful meeting, and her "be like water, go w/ the flow" inspiration, maybe, mayebe not [22:35] heh [22:36] "we must punish her for her betrayal" "oh, ok, we forgive you" [22:37] lol [22:59] Blindfold would see essence of masking charms.... would that affect my roll from earlier? [22:59] * Storyteller shrugs [23:00] possibly, if you were looking at them. but would your meditation preclude general observation? [23:00] if they passed through my line of sight i would probably notice, doing more of martial arts practice [23:00] yea [23:01] * Storyteller suspects you think the essence is weird a lot here, but you've never seen this effect before, and the wyld essence discharge from the aborted solar spells is weird. but there is something else too. [23:01] the warning will probably confirm any suspecians. [23:04] * Tala writes it off till she hears a warning [23:05] and then? [23:07] * Tala goes to find the others [23:08] * Storyteller nods [23:10] in here better [23:10] there's a ripple in the distance [23:11] you watch it, carefully taking position [23:11] * Tala studies it cautiously w/ her blindfold aided essence sight [23:12] It walks right by you, but you can't see anything... except a equisite wrapping of essence, invisible to the naked eye. [23:12] roll per + occult [23:12] * Tala warily settles into a defensive stance, and follows [23:12] and dex + stealth [23:12] !ex 5 [23:12] Dice Script Active [23:12] !ex 5 [23:12] Tala (5), 9, 2, 2, 2, 5, Successes : 1 [23:12] that was per + occult [23:13] ok, you can't really tell anything about it from this distance. [23:13] !ex 7 dex stealth [23:13] Tala (7), 10, 6, 2, 3, 1, 6, 6, Successes : 2 [23:13] !ex 10 dex MA to activate form [23:13] Tala (10), 2, 6, 3, 5, 9, 3, 7, 8, 9, 1, Successes : 4 [23:13] It moves, and stops. you find yourself wishing you could see where it is, but you can either get a better look, or try to move when it does. [23:13] !ex 8 [23:14] you see another one moving towards you. But when you watch, it drops the invisiblity for a moment and puts up it's hand in a friendly signal, one you used with the army earlier when working with jynaru. [23:15] do i recognize it? [23:16] the person is definately one of the solars, she is even wearing the trademark sunbleached dress. [23:16] * Tala looks for the other one [23:16] Then just as quickly she dissapears under the guise, and begins stalking the one you were stalking before [23:16] That one is standing nearly still, though it starts moving away from you. [23:17] * Tala puts on her claws and pursues [23:18] roll per + awe [23:18] !ex 5 [23:18] Tala (5), 7, 7, 5, 2, 8, Successes : 3 [23:18] there is another one of the disturbances coming around a tent behind you [23:18] [3 total now?] [23:19] yea [23:19] 1 i am following, 1 following that one and 1 following me?> [23:19] you can't tell anything other than it's using the same type of charm [23:20] dunno if it's actually following you. it's abuot to come into plain sight. [23:23] Where are we now? [23:23] some boring spot within the encampment. [23:23] nothing important that you know of. [23:23] i assume no others are around to see me in an obivious combat stance moving through the camp [23:23] probably only several minutes walk from your original meditation point. [23:23] There's barbarians but they know you. [23:24] "There's that crazy bald chick again, running around in obvious combat stance" [23:25] * Tala moves more quickly, after the one she was pursuing, but she tries not to completely lose those behind her [23:27] i hear the shout? [23:27] nm [23:30] Now the one is obviously following you, and you've in fact completely lost track of this second signature [23:30] still you manage to keep the two ahead of you in sight [23:33] ? [23:33] so one is following me, I see 2 ahead of me, which did i lose track of? [23:34] the one following you [23:34] o, oh [23:35] musta seen you and got spooked [23:35] * Tala does her best to remain aware of her surroundings as she increases her pace to catch the one who did not show itself as "not-necessarily-unfriendly" [23:36] roll dex + stealth [23:39] !ex 7 [23:39] Tala (7), 5, 5, 10, 6, 7, 8, 6, Successes : 4 [23:39] !ex 9 [23:39] !ex 9 [23:40] you manage to stay out of sight, and now have both of them in your own view. There are roughly three tents in front of you, and you still haven't seen the essence pattern of the one behind you [23:42] * Tala tries to get w/in range to catch the "more potentially hostile" one. All of them are potentially [23:42] [that being the one who didn't flip her the sign :) ] [23:42] heh [23:42] ok you manage to get close enough to that one to make an attack [23:43] roll per + awe [23:43] !ex 5 [23:43] Tala (5), 8, 4, 6, 8, 5, Successes : 2 [23:49] [oh didn't see your reply woops] [23:49] s'ok [23:50] you're being attacked! an arrow appears out from behind a tent and flies towards you. You see essence guiding it's path as it makes a beeline for you. [23:50] [before or after my init?] [23:51] [ie do i have to abort to parry, or can i make it part of my action] [23:56] As the arrow streaks in at Tala she throws up her clawed hand in a parry while bending out of the path of the arrow. She catches the arrow between two blades of her claws, pinching it with just enough force to direct the arrow as she spins around, bringing it in a circle and she stabs it into the invisible thing she was about to attack. [00:03] ? [00:07] sorry finally got them quiet for a second. [00:07] 1 roll or 2? [00:08] +3 [00:08] 1 roll for parry [00:08] !ex 12 [00:08] gah' [00:08] 10 sux against you [00:08] what about hitting the guy? or it it all 1 roll? [00:08] two attacks, so -2 -3, then +3 for stunt [00:09] so +1 on the parry, +0 on your own surprise attack [00:09] !ex 18 (add willpower success) [00:09] Tala (18), 6, 2, 9, 2, 1, 8, 4, 1, 8, 3, 1, 1, 8, 3, 7, 10, 4, 10, Successes : 20 [00:09] actuall its 9+willpower, so 10 [00:10] gods above [00:10] that was the parry? [00:10] yes [00:10] ok obviously the arrow is not threatening to you. [00:10] :) [00:10] !ex 17 to hit [00:10] Tala (17), 7, 7, 3, 4, 6, 6, 1, 6, 9, 10, 10, 8, 6, 5, 1, 7, 9, Successes : 10 [00:11] Something inside the hidden things head snaps as you leap at it, and it jumps out of the way at the last second. [00:11] !ex 10 [00:11] 8 extra sux on damage [00:12] what's the arrow damage? [00:12] normal broadhead, STR + 2 [00:12] since I am redirecting it, wouldn't it be the firer's damage?

[00:18] 4L+ [00:18] it's not down though, it writhes in pain and rolls away, knocking down one of the barbarian's animal hide tents [00:18] btw- used 3 point stunt to pay for wp [00:22] ok next round init [00:22] !roll 1d10+9 [00:22] !roll 1d10+17 [00:22] Dice Script Active [00:22] !roll 1d10+17 [00:22] 11 [00:23] +17 not 9 [00:23] dex 5 wits 3 +1 dex from HS, +1 Wits from HS, +7 from claws [00:24] 19 [00:25] ok you go first [00:28] * Tala continues the motion of her spin and stab, leaving the arrow in her opponent as he uses her momentum to flip over his form so she is now on the other side of him in close quarters, and ends the entire continuous circular motion w/ an uppercut stab to the thing's midsection, while bringing her other claw (or the guy's body if he is impaled on the claw) up to use as a shield from the direction the arrow came from [00:30] arrow came from [00:30] [00:31] . [00:31] lol [00:31] trying to kill that guy and or use him as a shield :) [00:31] ok +3 [00:32] !ex 18 add willpower splitting for attack and to parry on top of usinghim as a shield [00:32] Tala (18), 8, 3, 1, 3, 7, 8, 9, 8, 3, 8, 8, 9, 3, 10, 9, 5, 3, 8, Successes : 1 [00:32] that is so frelled [00:32] :/ [00:32] 12 [00:32] +willpower [00:32] 13 [00:33] The thing spins around and you see a light blade appear in front of you, as whatever it is draws it's sword to fend you off. At the same time, it springs out of the way, desperate to evade your blow [00:34] !ex 9 [00:34] 4 extra sux, 6L soak [00:34] !exm 5 [00:34] Tala (5), 5, 6, 9, 6, 9, Successes : 2 [00:36] It is seriously wounded now and makes no attempt to defend itself. [00:36] er' [00:36] attack again [00:36] you note that the one who is "not so dangerous" is now attacking the one who shot the arrow at you, so there is no need to parry another shot. [00:36] initative [00:37] 2nd Action: [00:37] ah [00:37] * Tala had saved one for parry [00:37] unless i lose it [00:38] since nothing to parry [00:38] nothing to parry. [00:38] can't change it to something else. [00:38] no prob [00:38] !roll 1d10+17 [00:38] something screwy with dice in here [00:38] Dice Script Deactivated [00:38] you first again.

[00:48] but it's anima flares even brighter as it leaps into the air, soaring over several tents as it tries to get away from your deadliness [00:53] * Tala looks to where the archer became engaged w/ somebody else [01:00] * Tala doesn't want to lose track of that one if she goes chasing this one [01:02] well, if you don't chase this one, it's either going to get away, or somebody else will kill it./ [01:03] * Tala chases it then [01:10] wait that other guy is using speed and jumping charms i can't even come close to [01:12] he's at -2 [01:12] he just monkey leaped [01:12] so where am i in relation to him? [01:12] that's.... 45 feet away with several tents in between you and him [01:13] and the guy who fired at me? [01:14] * Tala chases her original target, running as fast as she can [01:14] yea [01:14] the guy who jumped away is 45 feet away.. [01:14] the guy who attacked you is.. well they have massive speed charms on now, yea [01:18] * Tala keeps running [01:19] what's your speed? [01:20] hang on, have the formula here somewhere [01:21] 45 sprint [01:22] 17 run [01:22] ok. [02:24] hmm... i leave the Blessed Isle a 2nd Coil (maybe 3rd since i had the form by then) Disciple, and I am probably going to return and be qualified for 5th Coil (grand mastery and possible having developed 1 or 2 of my own charms for the style) [02:25] I know. :D [02:25] Students = Followers :) [02:25] or Command [02:25] :) [02:26] hmmm... :) [02:26] you'll see :) [02:27] * Werlynn is already training for Tsunami Shout, thats how he spend the extra days after finishing E.D.W.A.
