[21:08] After the book thing, yes I suppose so. Unles my lord stayed up. [21:08] ok [21:09] I suppose you want the 'sneak into Juniper's bed thing done the next night. [21:09] "this" night technically [21:09] of this day.. [21:09] whatever [21:09] * Storyteller doesn't really know [21:09] Ok. [21:16] okay you had another funky dream..... [21:17] you are being carried somewhere [21:17] Tell me. [21:17] there are two people.... [21:17] one of them is carrying you, the other fretting at your side [21:17] one of them is crying [21:17] you can't see them, but you know they are important to you.. but you can't remember why [21:18] you're crying too, because there is something wrong [21:18] there's a pause [21:18] it's cold... [21:18] How 'big' am I? [21:18] nobody is holding you, you graps around ... [21:18] you really can't tell... you can't feel yourself. But you're being carried quite easily [21:18] Somebody else is holding you... [21:19] you don't know who they are [21:19] they are yelling now, it hurts your ears... [21:19] the two blurred shapes leave [21:19] you're put down, somewhere warm... and then you wake up [21:21] One question. Have I had these dreams for a long time or did they start recently? [21:21] you've only had this dream this one time [21:21] there was one other dream I bothered to mention [21:21] that was the only time you had that dream [21:22] Ok, but having this kind of dreams is new? [21:23] that's up to you [21:23] but as far as I am concerned, yes [21:24] Okay. [21:25] So they started getting 'real' after I got the jade square, eh? :) [21:26] shh.... [21:26] * Cicada is very angry, very angry indeed. [22:03] roll conviction? ;) [22:04] Yeah, right! [22:04] !ex 1 [22:04] Cicada : !ex 1, 6, Successes : 0 [22:04] lol [22:04] * Cicada takes it like a wuss. [22:05] you don't *have* to find maris first [22:43] you've just been meditating with Tei, Tei took off to see what the rest of the group was doing. You told him about the IO not wanting to sterilize everyone [22:43] Ok [22:47] uhhh... what's his name... [22:47] gotta look up the name ;) [22:47] who? [22:47] oh boy, back at the arena [22:47] that dude, the guy who helped you up the cliff face [22:47] oh [22:48] Red Bloom? [22:48] Red-something-to-that-effect [22:49] Hmm [22:49] seems right [22:50] damn, you got a good memory [22:50] yes, Red Bloom is right for that one guy [22:51] I remembered from looking at it last week [22:51] coo [22:52] he here? [22:57] pre + awareness [22:57] why are we here? [22:58] Tei followed them... [22:58] I'm not quite sure why you did [22:58] They want to fight/gamble [22:59] ah [22:59] was that your per+awe? [22:59] 3 [22:59] ok... [22:59] yea [22:59] per 3 awar 2 [22:59] you see him sitting in the highest row of the bleachers across the stadium [23:03] [these aren't deathfights right?] [23:05] nah [23:05] I keep an eye on him but try not to be overt [23:05] k [23:05] * Storyteller nods [23:11] What's he up to? [23:14] he's watching [23:14] you can't tell what [23:14] he's gone now [23:14] where did he go? [23:14] you can't see him... you were distracted by the servant approaching tei for a moment. [23:15] * Tala keeps an eye out for him [23:17] you feel a tapping on your shoulder [23:17] * Tala turns around [23:17] "How may I help you?" [23:20] You see Red Bloom smiling behind you [23:20] "No... but I might be able to help you." [23:20] "We meet again." [23:20] * Tala bows politely [23:20] He bows as well, well as well as he can for kneeling over one of the benches [23:21] "To tell the truth, I didn't expect to find you here. A woman of your enlightenment in an arena like this? Quite unsual." [23:24] "My companions are here." [23:25] He nods, pursing his lips and looking over the arena. [23:26] "Most of them. One, actually, is conspicuous in his absence...."[23:26] "And today doesn't seem to feature the deathmatches that the Prefect's celebration displayed." [23:26] He laughs when you mention the deathmatches [23:27] "A holdback from an old time. Still, it's better than some of the things i've seen." he says, leaving it hanging in air [23:30] * Tala gestures to her companions in the arena. "They are anxious. Danger looms close." [23:30] He nods sadly [23:32] "It's a shame really. Those spirits didn't mean to have such huge problems. All they want to do is survive. And now ... they're all going to cease to exist.. for the time being, at least. They will be back with time." [23:34] * Tala nods [23:38] "Their course is a foolish one, to assume that we would permit the genocide they plan to undertake" [23:38] He nods as well [23:44] He looks back towards the fight [23:44] his face scrunches up in confusion [23:45] "Is that.. Tei fighting Cicada?" [23:45] * Tala looks at him for a moment then back to the fight. "Yes. You know their names?" [23:46] he nods [23:46] "You and your companions have become quite popular around here, you know. The prefect made sure every peasant would know them, and what you looked like." [23:47] [that true?] [23:48] seems like it..... maybe he's exaggerating just a bit. [23:48] but the prefect was seen with you a lot [23:50] [can I make any kind of perception roll to pick up on that?] [23:52] perception + socialize if you wish... [23:52] you don't notice anything odd about his attitude [23:54] [sorry I meant Cicada taking that hit to the head so well] [23:55] ah [23:55] per + awe then [23:59] nope, you didn't notice.. you figure she just got hurt and you can't see it [00:02] "He has been her trainer. He is most likely seeing how well she has learned her lessons." [00:04] The robed man nods slowly, and then sits next to you [23:54] so what'd you end up doin? [23:54] Just posted [23:54] Comp crashed hard. [23:54] New system would not recognize the Java thing due to some idiotit pointer shit. [23:55] wack [23:55] So I finaly figured out how to get an older version under the security thing get it installed and get the internet back and running. [23:56] I did get an email out ot the exalted yahoo place about 8:30, but figured nobody would be watching that. [23:56] Can I come to the resque now........ [23:56] PLEASE :-) [23:56] Did I mention I got a nasty cold on Monday and have been fighting that off all week as well? [23:57] hmmmmmm [23:57] well I'll tell you what.... [23:57] allright I guess you get all bored, and hear they've gone to the arena.. but they're not really in any position to be rescued [23:58] Oh? erm..... is that an ouchy thing or a good thing? [23:58] a good thing, they're fighting each other for fun [23:59] AHHHHH!!!!!! OK..... well I guess Tabs would continue studying ;-) since he is still trying to develope another dodge charm :-) [23:59] heh ok [23:59] What happened that they are fighting each other for fun? [23:59] they got really bored [00:00] the players or the characters? and was it me missing that they are so bored, if so I am so sorry. [00:00] heh nah, i didn't really have anything planned for tonight, and I need to burn a day, and I've still got something to resolve. So good, now I get to screw with your mind [00:00] LMAO [00:00] you finish decoding the first page of the black book, and luckily, it isn't a spell that kills you [00:00] hrmmmm don't think they want to fight me anyways ;-) [00:01] OH SHIT ;-)\ [00:01] unfortunately, it is a spell that takes control of your mind [00:01] erm..... screwed, me, yes, again. [00:01] you are now compelled to return all of this stuff to it's rightful owner [00:01] who is of course the people you killed [00:02] We killed people, or do you mean the Anethema ;-) [00:02] the Anathema, duh ;) [00:02] but there are still two who survive..... [00:02] one is very, very far away [00:03] one is in this city [00:03] the spell lets you sense them [00:03] well they are dead, no need to return '=) [00:03] OH MY!!!! [00:03] Still alive...... [00:03] SHIT! [00:04] I think next game session is going to be a big fricken HOOT! [00:04] heh..... [00:04] And now I have an auto detect ;-) this will make things so much easier ;-) [00:04] heh.. [00:04] but you can't give them away, ever [00:05] and the auto-detect only lets you know where they are until you return the stuff [00:05] which you are compelled to go do right now [00:06] Then he gets up casts ISoB and heads out.......whistling ;-) [00:06] hehehe [00:06] okay you wander...../. [00:06] and wander..... [00:10] (*Here) [00:10] yo [00:10] okay tabius... you know what you have to do [00:11] * Tabius walks up to the robed individual and hands over a bag of trinkets and 2 books, one black, one white. [00:12] The robed man takes them, looks up, and smiles. [00:12] "Thank you, Tabius." [00:12] he takes the stuff and slides it into a binder at his side. [00:12] " [00:12] "Would you like to stay and watch?" [00:13] * Tala turns to Tabius. "Greetings." [00:13] * Tabius bows slighly to Tala. [00:15] "You two have met?" [00:16] * Tabius remains absolutely silent. [00:16] Red Bloom shakes his head no. He offers his hand to Tabius and introduces himself. "Not exactly. You can call me Red Bloom." [00:16] * Tala turns back to the fight. "We were just watching the games below." [00:17] * Tabius eyes dart very quickly back and forth as if looking for options. [00:17] !ex 5 (per+socialize; Sense Truth) [00:17] Tala : !ex 5 (per+socialize; Sense Truth), 5, 2, 7, 9, 8, Successes : 3 [00:17] * Tabius bows slightly taking a step back. [00:17] Tala, it seems to be true [00:17] Red Bloom laughs [00:17] "Oh you are a paranoid lot." [00:18] * Tabius looks at Red Bloom with fire in his eyes, but says nothing. [00:18] He gets up and bows to the both of you. [00:18] "Tabius. Tala, I hope to meet you again soon." [00:18] He nods his head as he leaves the arena [00:18] * Tabius activates smoke obscuring effects for 2 motes. [00:19] * Tabius starts casting Flying Guilitine as soon as he turns his back. [00:19] * Tala nods in return and then looks back at the fights [00:19] (*all personal essence*) [00:19] * Tala takes a step back as essence begins flaring around Tabius [00:20] (*All personal ;-)) [00:20] (there is no "hiding sorcery w/ personal essence") [00:20] (sorcery is always overt) [00:20] (*Well I am trying to keep my banner from showing ;-)) [00:21] (everyone still sees essence flaring and shaping into magic symbols and what not) [00:21] (*That I don't care about all that much ;-)*) [00:21] "What ..." [00:21] Tabius, Red Bloom leaps down out of line of sight [00:22] * Tabius leans over. [00:22] Tabius you run towards the edge, but when you get there, you can't see him anywhere. [00:22] * Tabius thinks that Red Bloom is a bastard. [00:22] what does smoke obsuring effect do exactly, tabius? [00:23] (*Adds to dodge, 1 p 2 dice up to your dodge rating. Tabs has 4 extra dice to dodge.) [00:23] (*Scene long) [00:23] ok [00:23] (i thought that was Flickering Candle) [00:24] * Tabius keeps looking. [00:24] per + awareness [00:25] !ex 5 [00:25] Tala : !ex 5, 3, 9, 7, 4, 8, Successes : 3 [00:25] !ex 11 [00:25] Tabius : !ex 11, 5, 9, 9, 8, 8, 10, 6, 9, 3, 3, 10, Successes : 9 [00:25] (*FC does to, but only yourself can be effected and its instant.... SOE is same page, but scene long and can be used to help allies) [00:25] (does it affect you?) [00:26] Tabius, you can see *everything*, and the sumbitch is gone. [00:26] (*Yes, but you have pay +1 for each ally, and pay for every 2 dice you add, either yourself or allies ..... so effecting you would cost 1 +1 per two dice added. [00:26] there are people everywhere, but none of them seem to have noticed anybody..... [00:27] now your sorcerey's about to go haywire... better turn it off. [00:27] (all it says is allies....) [00:27] roll int + occult [00:28] * Tabius lets the magic go. [00:28] !ex 11 [00:28] Tabius : !ex 11, 2, 2, 8, 1, 6, 9, 10, 3, 7, 10, 7, Successes : 8 [00:28] okay the magic dissipates harmlessly.... [00:28] (*the example gives bonus dice to Everybody in the example, which includes the user. [00:29] (no it doesn't) [00:29] (only the allies get bonuses in the example) [00:30] (*looks like you don't have to pay individualy. "Two motes for all 3 of Prana's dodge dice.... ) [00:30] (*Then the charm blows ass. [00:31] (strenght of the DBs. a coordinated group can protect eachother for a scene) [00:31] (*Not why Tabs would have taken the charm, totaly foriegn to concept) [00:32] (up to GH, he could House Rule it) [00:32] (*Not like Tabs has used it before on anything.....Safety Among Enemies would make imminently more sense, then and has same requirements.) [00:33] i'll have to think about it... email me the Q in detail later if you like. [00:33] * Tabius looks around in complete disbelief. [00:33] (since you haven't "really" used it, maybe you can swap for the more "character appropriate" charm) [00:34] * Tabius turns back to Tala, "Who is Red Bloom?" [00:34] "What was all of that about?" [00:34] hey they're all looking at you in #pvpexalted [00:34] they're right there [00:34] so.... [00:34] this channel has served it's purpose :) [00:06] BTW.... I lost EVERY file on my computer. Could you email me the original Tabitha character sheet ;) [00:06] sure [00:07] i'll have to find it, and I don't have any up-to-date records of your upgrades [00:08] I would not expect that you would ;-).... but you should know the 1 spell he got ;-) [00:08] yeap [00:08] I have a paper copy, thankfully, with him full up to date. [00:08] excellent [00:08] okay.... [00:09] you go up to the arena... that's where he is... [00:09] I just didn't want to have to type EVERYthing in again. [00:09] and you look around feeling for him... and then you realize who it is.... [00:09] it's a robed man sitting next to Tala [00:09] I guess Tabs ends up at the arena [00:09] join #pvpexalted2 [00:10] Ok.... going there. [00:13] okay you're freed of the compulsion to do what he says, but you still can't reveal him. [00:13] I may not, not reviel him but I can certainly punk his ass right here right? [00:14] sure [00:14] but oh that would look bad to Tala who would likely take my head off :-P [00:14] heh..... [00:16] now I will tell you right now I do not have a window open to Tala! [00:17] heh okay [00:19] Here goes nothing. [00:44] oh come on now, no hinting. that's just not fair..... [00:44] you can't reveal it, so if they ask you, you have to deny it.... [00:44] I revealed nothing Tala could not have already said. ;-) [00:44] true... [00:44] but she has to say it [00:44] hrmmmmm [00:45] no getting around celestial circle sorcery. I could've had you been their mind-body-soul slave if I was a real bastard. [00:46] Tell them facts surrounding what I personaly did is not revealing ;-) [00:46] Telling them WHY for real I gave them is a different story, compelled is not even close to knowing I was ensorcelled and forced to give over the Anethema's shit. [00:47] very well..... [00:48] Even what I gave would possible reviel ;-).........so I have to keep that to 'Items [00:51] I will give the a run for their money I will tell you that ;-) [00:51] cool :) [00:51] that's all i can ask really.. [00:53] (*can I say OOC, Sorry gues the ST has my balls by a real SHORT leash> [00:56] sure [00:57] eh... they can bleeding suffer through the crap like me ;-) Screw em, tabs was never part of their little group anyways. [00:58] heh [00:59] It would take a good bit of concentrated effort to know him over and out even with only 8 essence left. [00:59] Hold on, how long did I walk around trying to find this guy>? [01:00] you went pretty much straight there, roughly 15 minutes [01:01] Ok. thats about 3 more essence from the stones. [01:02] * Storyteller nods sagely [01:03] wooo woooo a whole 11 essence..... which wont help worth shit in a clinch ;-) [01:04] heh [01:07] Does Tab remember what the first page was...... spell, and if so what was the name of it ;-) [01:08] That and how the heck did Juniper pull off a Celestial level spell? [01:10] (*Hehehehehe and now the rightous wrath of Tala comes to bear ;-) exactly what I was hoping for. [01:11] If you don't mind the groups needs to be torn apart into a smaller one......... [01:11] "Congratulations on decoding my personal diary. Unfortunately for you, you decoded the wrong message; the one I put in as a defense mechanism. Of course you'll find yourself unable to stop reading this page now that you've gone through the process of decoding it, but that is very well. You will speak to no one of what you have done, and you shall return these immediately to their rightful owners.. you will know where we are by a sense... now leave, and do so immiately ... [01:11] nope [01:13] What about Juniper ;-) That little butterfly spell was not Ter, ;-) [01:13] �ome on, tell me, PLEASE..... (*gets on knees to beg*) [01:14] ew ew.... she could be the Empress in Disguise, or the top Mn woman with the bell, or or or [01:24] Did Tabs find out anything about the little odds and ends?
