Session Start: Sat Nov 02 19:09:23 2002 Session Ident: #pvpexalted [19:09] * Now talking in #pvpexalted [19:09] * Topic is 'Exalted: All my life I've been searching for somethin' Somethin' never comes, never leads to nuthin' Nothin' satisfies, but I'm gettin' close Closer to the prize at the end of the rope' [19:09] * Set by GoldenH on Fri Nov 01 18:55:32 [19:09] * ChanServ sets mode: +o GoldenH [19:09] * Kasumi is stealing someone's computer to fix their payment gateway. However, only dialup is available. [19:09] 'ello, GH. [19:09] Hey, GH. [19:09] 'sup Fiat [19:09] Kasumi [19:09] the original Excalibur, sweet [19:09] yo [19:10] "Oh, and NOW he uses the song, not when it was stuck in my head for a week." Speak of the devil. ^_^ [19:10] DTjo [19:10] ahhhhh well fate coincides to bring us together fiat [19:10] How's life going for those in da room? [19:10] * GoldenH scared people again. [19:11] * Kasumi is hoping he can convince the weekend support guy at the host to install a COM object.... [19:11] * GoldenH also somehow read through 3 chapters of night in under an hour. Time distortion getting worse, suspect may be over a year older than he should be [19:12] Unless Night has ginormous chapters, that's not so much time distortion as it is fast reading speed. [19:12] It's only a Castebook, after all... [19:12] it wasn't really big [19:13] Uther is going to go score w/ Igraine, so it must be the beginning [19:13] Must be. [19:14] * Kasumi is also trying to somehow leverage an experienced Fire Aspect into not being shit. Going OKish... [19:14] * FiatVictrix still finds Arthur a clear case of Dragon-Blood breeding true, or something. [19:14] it was the voices of us/ those not our own/ dreams of the first age thing [19:14] An experienced Fire non-IO? [19:15] Yeah. She's a retainer for the party Dawn, and I want to to be useful in battles against Mask of Winters. [19:15] She's OK, but she's a Melee specialist. Not a lot I can do with that. [19:15] True.... [19:15] Not MoW *personally*, of course. [19:16] Use that thing where people attack better in groups? Threshing the bloody wheat or something? [19:16] Athletics and Five Dragons helps, though. [19:16] Dang, sucks to be that guy. The last thing he saw before he died was a vision of Uther nailing Igraine [19:16] Brb. I have to go make Becca a cup of tea. [19:17] * FiatVictrix 'd say give her Snake Style. Just for init purposes, thwack them with whatever nifty artifact weapon you decide upon with flames on. [19:18] what [19:18] are you both fucking the same girl?! [19:18] Difficult, considering he's in Austrailia. [19:18] * GoldenH wouldn't put it past fiat [19:18] * FiatVictrix has yet to discern why that name seems so popular. I suspect a conspiracy. [19:19] "I think I'd notice if I was being fucked by two guys..." - Becca [19:19] figures [19:19] * GoldenH has a 'becca of his own, to tell the truth. and yes, she was attractive. But not as memorable as the dozen or so brittnies [19:19] * Hikari [Hikari@zaqd378a5f6.zaq.ne.jp] is on IRC [19:20] * Hikari (Hikari@zaqd378a5f6.zaq.ne.jp) has joined #pvpexalted [19:20] yaa hikari [19:20] Hey, Hikari. [19:20] Good morning everybody. [19:20] Britney/Brittanie/However each one spells it are nice, but don't last nearly as long. [19:20] 'ello, Hik. [19:20] * GoldenH knows. [19:20] Good point, Fiat - she's in a position to learn both Snake and Tiger. Maybe that would help. [19:20] * FiatVictrix supposes that having a dozen or so helps compensate for that, though. [19:20] but, some of them were blondes and some of them are brunettes [19:20] Snake AND Tiger? Scary. [19:21] yo [19:21] There are two Dawn at the dojo, both who know both styles *shru* [19:21] Wooooo... can you combo charms between the two? [19:21] yae [19:21] Yes. [19:21] With the athletics bonus early Tiger adds and the init Snake can add, an experienced Fire can be anywhere in the melee anywhen and whack somebody with funky jade weapon with flames on. [19:22] hahahaha I read that Horny Tiger Solar Style [19:22] don't ask me how [19:22] If you knew it, you could combo Tiger and Earth Dragon style. [19:22] It just matches the only living master of the style. [19:22] * FiatVictrix somehow finds the concept of a giant statue striking from surprise amusing. [19:23] A man so lecherous that even Jynaru's measly average of 10 sux are nothing but a virgin to virgin messup. [19:23] Whoa... [19:23] ... [19:24] aye carumba [19:24] Hikari, what dojo do you train at? [19:24] Suita-shiritsu taiiku kaikan. Seishinkan. [19:25] * Kasumi 's gf thought she might know some girls from your dojo, but thinks it may be a different one. [19:25] Girls? We have girls? [19:26] * Kasumi always uses MA combo - usually at least 5 Dragons with something else. [19:26] Lets see.... me, Matsuda, and.... no more. The rest are old grannies. [19:26] Maybe the elementary students. We have 8 of them. [19:26] Must be a different dojo, then. The local naginataka were going on about how cute the visiting girls were :) [19:27] ...wait...Kas...you're Japanese ? [19:27] Is she still in Japan? [19:27] Becka's sensei is still in Japan. [19:27] Oh. [19:28] I suppose I won't per chance run into her at the tournament at Osaka Castle tomorrow then. [19:28] DT - no, I'm Australian, but my gf does Naginata. [19:28] ahhh [19:28] * Hikari would so have liked to meet at least ONE Rebecca... (sigh) [19:28] You might meet her sensei, Nagae Reiko. Becka's right here in Melbourne...too poor to hit Japan :) [19:28] * GoldenH could dress up like one [19:28] Nagae...? [19:29] Nagae from central/southern Osaka? [19:29] six degrees, fiat? [19:29] Heh. ALWAYS 6 degrees. [19:30] * Hikari would appreciate GH dressing up. It would give poor Hikari a small fix at least.

Good to see you. :) [19:32] Hello, Hikari [19:32] * Hikari thinks of those names..... No bells rings. But then again, she has always been lousy at remembering names. [19:32] * Becca is *very* tired. She spent so much time not sleeping today [19:33] Okay, Fiat not i think I would like the real thing. [19:33] (not = now) [19:33] * Becca sniffs. a bad rebecca impersonator [19:33] * Kasumi screams. Cat attacking keyboard!

[19:35] Ah, hello Rebecca. [19:35] Hello, everyone. [19:35] Hikari - that's OK. You're not the only one who sucks with names :) [19:35] Hi, Rebecca. [19:35] Yo Bec [19:35] GH:you might wanan wash off the nail polish [19:36] I've been told I'm reproducing. Anyone care to explain? [19:36] ...now if you'll excuse me, I need a dosage of 9mm mental floss [19:36] FR:you see, when a man and a woman love each other very much... [19:36] Okay, now we need to get Kasumi's girlfriend on and have GH dress up again. REBECCA-O'RAMA! [19:36] * Kasumi 's Rebecca is also watching this chat. We're under gf surveilance :) [19:36] * DarthTom notes to self: find a girl named rebecca and go out with her... [19:36] * Kasumi is now known as KRebecca [19:37] * GoldenH is now known as GoldenH|APictureCalledRebecca [19:37] * Hikari looks at the name list and laughs. [19:37] #op [19:37] * ChanServ sets mode: +o DarthTom [19:37] Hello, Rebecca. [19:37] ...this is getting Kafkaesque [19:37] FRebecca, you are reproducing because you have a clone in Australia. [19:38] * GoldenH|APictureCalledRebecca is now known as GoldenH [19:38] -> *nickserv* identify 46019610 [19:38] -NickServ- Password accepted - you are now recognized. [19:38] * DarthTom fights his geek nature [19:38] so how have you been? Last I saw you were kinda beat up [19:38] aw, fuck it... [19:38] * FRebecca understands now. [19:38] Begun...this Clone War has [19:38] * Retrieving #pvpexalted info... [19:38] You people are all scaring me. I mean, really, why bother with MA combos when you can just talk them out of it. Maybe even convince them to join your side. Hey other Becca. ARe you my evil twin or something? [19:39] (you might be reproducing for reasons involving Fiat as well. But I haven't heard anything about that happening and I doubt Fiat has got the nerve to do it) [19:39] * GoldenH ? be charsimatic? never! [19:39] I'm not evil. How could I be evil? Just look at the name. :) [19:40] * KRebecca plays a brawling Eclipse. She usually beats them up a little before applying the charm :) [19:40] d'oh punnage [19:40] I can vouch for the existance of evil Rebeccas...ouch...stop hurting me... [19:41] Heh - lethal Pun Prana [19:41] It could be worse. she could be killing you with her tounge [19:41] KRebecca, where in Japan were you and at what dojos did you study? [19:41] (As for the other reproduction, I would hope I'd hear something about it before you guys.) [19:42] Woah - Australia. I train at the Kenshikan Dojo in Melbourne. [19:42] I thought you went Japan a little while ago. [19:42] Sorry if I was confusing. It was actually some Osaka and other girls that came over here... [19:42] Gah, boys. They never get it right. [19:42] I see. Some international program? [19:43] Internationsl friendship Australia-Osaka society demo-wotzit. [19:44] * Hikari wonders why she never heard of that. They must have had some need for English - Japanese interpreters. [19:44] * GoldenH gets it right [19:44] No, we trained by sign language :) [19:45] heh, I've been wondering about that. ASL and ESL are very similar [19:45] Sign language...? [19:46] the only differences being those to avoid vulgar gestures ;) [19:46] * Hikari has seen that done. Did not seem efficient... [19:46] I think they just waved their hands and naginata at each other a lot. Probably smiled and giggled, too :) [19:46] * Jydan [Jydan@dia-175.vaix.net] is on IRC [19:46] * Jydan (Jydan@dia-175.vaix.net) has joined #pvpexalted [19:46] Hey, Jydan. [19:47] Probably learned som bad english "I know kung fu!" [19:47] Heya Folks. [19:47] Hello, Jydan. [19:47] * Jydan sighs. Samantha must have signed off. [19:47] Becka learned Renzokuken. That made her whole year. [19:47] * GoldenH thought something was up. His Jydar had just went off [19:48] * Hikari has spend a lot of the last year training two foreigners naginata. Mostly she just translated instructions and helped with the book studies. [19:49] Oh my. BOTH Rebeccas. This is quite the day. [19:49] by the by, Choscura is now IRC-enabled [19:49] You missed GoldenH as a GRebbeca [19:50] * GoldenH 's got a rebecca, and DTs got a rebecca. You're the last man out. [19:50] * Jydan wonders where he put his Dune CCG card... He got a new book. Dune: The Butlerian Jihad, and he needs a bookmark. [19:50] Our students were out numbered 2 to 1 by Japanese sensei o.O [19:50] Is a Semantha okay? [19:50] Err.. [19:50] Samantha? [19:50] er no [19:50] Is that what the mystery girl's name is? [19:51] No, she either changes her name, or you throw her back and wait for a Becka :) [19:51] that's right. [19:51] no longer shall we say we can't get laid. we just say, we can't get a becca [19:52] Besides, what sort of girl is she if she doesn't change her name just to please your weird internet friends? [19:52] GH:speak for yourself, I'm pursing an Alanna... [19:52] Yeah, that's MG's name. [19:52] *pursuing [19:52] I'm goign to punch Kasumi in the head now. [19:52] hmmm, an Alanna? that's very nice, but I still think that my Agata beats her. [19:53] Agata ?! [19:53] Bloody hell, where did I put that CCG bookmark? [19:53] =) [19:53] What, we her parents ROCKS ? [19:53] *were [19:53] she's from poland [19:53] Ah [19:53] * GoldenH just wishes our schedules coincided more. Ah well, sex drive at all time low. [19:54] : You have a sex drive, GH? [19:54] Yes, actually. [19:54] Fiat:remembe,r he's the ST [19:54] I don't want Van's ebst buddy DYING 5 minutes into tonight's session [19:55] * GoldenH still waiting for fiat's college coed contacts [19:56] * GoldenH wouldn't kill jynaru just for implying he didn't have a sex drive [19:56] Jynaru suddenly grabs his brightly flashing crotch and dies screaming of the social disease the natives inflicted on him. [19:56] Hmm..... Sex-drive....? What's that? [19:57] GH:Fine, don't mangle him [19:57] : I'd insult him more by sucking up and playing all nice... yeah.. that's it. [19:58] Oh.. Fiat. I calculated your XP last night. Since I didn't see you, I couldn't tell you. [19:58] : Besides, I'm sure he'd get more enjoyment out of slowly torturing me than just dropping a tree on me. I've already got a kid last time I checked. [19:58] * KRebecca is now known as Kasumi [19:58] You got 8. [19:58] Speaking of XP. How much did we get last session, GH? [19:58] * GoldenH considers. maybe fiat just realized that the only reason that I am running this campaign is because I read about his obvious pimpness on the forums and am simply mindfucking him until I have broken his spirit, and he hands over his little books [19:58] * Kasumi is unhappy. Up to four hours before host calls him back re COM object :( [19:58] Did I tell you what you got Wer? [19:59] 5 xp for all [19:59] you said 8 right? [19:59] Yes. [20:00] So, Fiat...how's that post? :) [20:00] GH: when did I raise my wp? Before last game wasn't it? [20:02] according to my notes, Tala's permanant WP is 6... [20:02] * GoldenH checks his email [20:02] ...how long does it take to raise WP again ? [20:02] * Maris [~bjorndaba@adsl-63-202-88-81.dsl.snfc21.pacbell.net] is on IRC [20:03] * Maris (~bjorndaba@adsl-63-202-88-81.dsl.snfc21.pacbell.net) has joined #pvpexalted [20:03] hey marisu [20:03] hey [20:03] GYAH !

[20:03] That was my last xp expediture [20:04] I think it was when we got off the boat [20:04] your supposed to send me an email if you want me to count your XP expenditure, remember? =) [20:04] * GoldenH is too scatterbrained otherwise [20:04] * Werlynn told you on IRC and you said ok [20:04] * GoldenH said okay, then email me your new character sheet [20:04] how much xp do you have for me listed unspent [20:04] uhhh 19? [20:05] * DarthTom 's got 30...he thinks [20:05] ...damn, I need to burn some [20:05] yeap [20:05] * DarthTom WANTS to raise his STR...but lacks the downtime to do so [20:05] ok, I was right [20:06] I spent the xp before last game [20:06] yah well I already got most of the presence charms so you don't need any of those. [20:07] * GoldenH 's just saying if it wasn't in an email and it comes up, then it doesn't count [20:08] * GoldenH 's all alone in the house, so pump the NIN and dancE! [20:08] For anyone who's read Dune, the prequel to the prequel is out. [20:08] It's on the Butlerian Jihad. [20:08] It's CALLED The Butlerian Jihad. [20:09] Jydan - is it any good? [20:09] take off your pants and jacket [20:09] soooooo [20:09] take off your pants and jacket [20:09] The first few pages that I've read are neat. [20:09] * GoldenH dance! [20:09] It explains a WHOLE lot about the laws of the Great Convention. [20:09] Err... The Orange Catholic Bible. [20:10] Eventually, it will talk about the Battle of Corrin. [20:11] And give details on the start of the Feud between the Atreides and the Harkonnen. [20:11] and I got night last week [20:11] it's pretty cool [20:12] * Kasumi hopes it does so well. I enjoyed the prequels, but they weren't *really* Dune. [20:12] * GoldenH read throuhj night today, gotta love it [20:12] charms are sweet too [20:13] yeah [20:13] Btw, do we game today? It is ten past or so. [20:13] I want to see Book 6, which was based on Frank's recently discovered notes. [20:13] Hikari :DST [20:13] Daylight Saving Time....sigh.... [20:13] everything in the states happens an hour later [20:13] sorry, I hate it too [20:14] Yeah, it's 9.14 EST. [20:14] * Kasumi has DST too. Only about lunchtime, though...:) [20:15] I like the Daiklaves of Dual Prowess. [20:15] * DarthTom is debatign what he's gonan buy with all this XP...at least one or charm...likely two...and boost STR [20:15] * GoldenH was under the impression that the stupidity that is DST was a worldwide malady. glad to hear otherwise [20:16] * Jydan likes the "Fall Back" portion of DST, and that's it. [20:16] CURSE YOU BEN FRANKLIN!!! Electricity wasn't worth this! [20:17] No electricity, no computers, no inter-net... [20:17] * GoldenH could deal [20:17] * Jydan does the "I got a new book" dance. [20:18] * Kasumi likes Steel Devil Style. [20:18] it's nice [20:19] Steel Devil style rocks [20:19] : Internet via cans with loooooong string attached. [20:19] hhmm..GH, would I be able to boost my STR and buy a charm ? [20:19] eventually [20:19] got 'nuff downtime? [20:19] you realize that when I get to spend this XP it's ALL gettign spent [20:19] heh yea [20:20] you probably have enough downtime for the charm right nwo [20:20] : How long for specialties? 3 weeks? [20:21] : And is it possible to come up with a stunt for training and knock time off of that? [20:21] ...lesse...3 months plus...2 days [20:21] the 3 months beign for STR, 2 days for the charm [20:21] * Jydan sighs. Samantha hasn't signed back on. [20:22] yea you can take the charm [20:22] So Vanal is going to be rippling with muscles AND still have App 7 or so? [20:22] be a week away from the strength [20:22] Falling Star Maneuver, it is [20:23] Haha! Longshanks killed his LOVER! [20:23] can I interest you in a combo meal? [20:23] only +99 cents [20:23] * Jydan is watching Braveheart again. [20:23] FSM seems OK. Dragonling Athletics isn't bad, I'm finding. [20:23] : Got to love the FSM. Only way I have to raise arrow damage. [20:24] Dragonlings are great. You just have to have charms from 50 gazillion different abilities [20:24] Might have to go for FSM as well. [20:24] Need to kill Anathema. (and maybe a few parents) [20:24] Pity it has that slightly useless prereq. [20:25] : Don't dis the jump charm. I jump GOOD with that charm. [20:25] * Kasumi does think Anathema getting killed by Dragonlings in this day+age are a bit dopey, but of course it's different if the Dragonlings ae PCs [20:25] ae = are [20:25] next charm...Threshign Floor Technique... [20:25] and then, the big daddy melee charm *g* [20:26] Wonder how GOOOOOOD Cicada could jump with that charm...? [20:27] : Vanal: "Who's your daddy? Oh, wait, you can't answer, because you're DEAD!" [20:27] lol [20:27] * Gamer (~web-Guest@gateway2.uscg.mil) has joined #pvpexalted [20:27] You've also got to realize that the Dragonlings have had hundreds of years to perfect their abilities, while the oldest Solars have had only 5 or 6 years to learn their charms.

You suppose, as you peer into the depths of the long-abandoned dining hall, with glass chandeliers and run-covered floors that you have about three hours of light left. The final rays of the sun warm you, as does Irin's glowing fire anima. [21:03] (Don't worry, she's just going to the OOC channel.) [21:03] "Thanks, Scalemaster." [21:04] Irin nods sharply to Vanal [21:04] * Vanal holds his daiklaive cautiously in front of him [21:04] "Well let's check it out then. [21:04] * Jynaru shrugs. "After you, Maris. You're the one that knows boats." [21:05] * Maris walks further into the boat trying to find his way [21:06] Maris you walk into the magnificant hall, amazed even in this muted splendor at it's size and decoration. [21:06] "I doubt he knows 300-yard Anathema boats from Hell, Jun." [21:06] * Tala follows the others cautiously as she peers around the interior of the demon-ship [21:07] * Jynaru chuckles. [21:08] "If he does, THEN we worry." [21:08] "Well I haven't been in many no. But I've been in my share of First Age ships. My father was a peleps." [21:08] "Somehow, I doubt they were EVER this big." [21:08] "This ship is...." [21:08] * Maris shrugs and continues down his path trying to figure out how to get to the engine room or the bridge. [21:09] There are six doors to either side, each of the double doors only man sized, but still made of the finest pearl. There also seems to be some kind of pavillion at the end of the hall, the cloth made out of the finest spun moonsilver and steel [21:09] From halfway across the hall, you can see that there appears to be a large orb [21:10] "What if this is why Red Bloom left us here?" [21:10] "What do you mean. [21:10] "Then we're fucked. Don't think about that." [21:11] * Maris goes straight to teh orb to see if he can figure out what it does [21:11] "While I do not know how me might do so, what if he expects us to fix this ship and use it to escape?" [21:12] You walk into the pavillion, a large, dull orb. It appears to be made out of orichulum, but unlike most of the metal you have seen of this kind, it seems dull. Like whatever potency it once had is long gone.. it does not glow. [21:12] "And then he expects to sieze it from us when we use it to return to the Blessed Isle." [21:12] Six jade rings surround it like the rings of a planet, each of them having delicate carvings in old realm [21:12] "If he's intelligent enough to figure that out, why can't he fix it himself?" [21:12] "The bastard can TRY. FUCK takign him alive. I'm gonna cut him in half." [21:13] "Also, isn't giving control of a giant flying ship to people that hate you a stupid move for such an evil genius as you describe? He didn't even wear armor when he ambushed us!" [21:13] "maybe he never knew about it ? Maybe he thinks it's a lost cause ? Maybe he thinks that the big beat'll eat us first..." [21:13] "Anyone know old realm?" [21:14] * Jynaru shakes his head. [21:14] "Flying?" [21:15] * Maris sighs and grabs one of the rings pulling it to see if it does anything. [21:15] "Flying. Why else would you need that pull-to-deck trick?" [21:15] Maris, you reach out and grab one of the rings, and you hear a loud snap, as it pulls towards you about an inch, and then stops [21:16] Anything lese happen? [21:16] else even [21:16] nothing for a moment [21:16] then you hear a slight humming and vibration all around you... [21:16] * Maris holds onto the rign ready to shove it back in if he needs too. [21:16] "Dude.... warn us before you press the shiny buttons, ok?" [21:16] suddenly the jade rings are filled with an inner light, glowing their respective colors. [21:16] "I know what I'm doing" [21:16] You realized you don't recognize the sixth jade element. [21:17] "Mind explaining it to us ?" [21:17] * Maris touches the sixth one and tries to figure out what it is. [21:17] It appears to be some kind of alloy, but nothing you've ever seen [21:17] "Strange. A sixth element." [21:17] * Maris tries to move that one around. [21:18] This one spins around the central orbit [21:19] Apparently it is a selector of some kind, as various runes are etched into it that seem, even to nonexistant vocabulary, to be proper nouns. [21:19] You also feel the potential for it to be snapped into place [21:20] (what is it, Wits + Lore to figure out first age machines?) [21:20] (shuffles off to find his book) [21:20] * Vanal looks at it and ponders [21:20] !ex 5 [21:20] Vanal : !ex 5, 6, 10, 2, 2, 10, Successes : 4 [21:21] yar, wits + lore it be [21:21] !ex 6 [21:21] Tala : !ex 6, 6, 4, 8, 2, 5, 10, Successes : 3 [21:21] !ex 5 [21:21] Maris : !ex 5, 6, 3, 2, 1, 3, Successes : 0, Botch [21:21] * Maris is going to die.

[21:22] [Maris, I got to thank you for these botches] [21:22] !ex 5 [21:22] Jynaru : !ex 5, 6, 7, 4, 6, 7, Successes : 2 [21:22] [take an extra point of Xp ;)] [21:23] Maris looks at the runes, locking all the other rings into place, just as Irin looks at you with a confused look.... "That one looks like clothes" [21:23] (and what of Tala and I's rolls ?) [21:23] Suddenly, the central orb flares, and you are all blinded by a glowing light [21:23] GYAH ! [21:24] it is gone a moment later [21:24] (yeah, we should be able to say "umm...don't do that Maris...") [21:24] * Vanal averts his eyes...but tries to keep his buckler or daiklaive at a ready postion [21:24] (you wouldn't see any reason not to ;)) [21:24] "You know what you're doing..." [21:24] The central orb is glowing with an inner light now... [21:24] the entire pavillion, in fact, is lit by it. [21:25] Strangely, the pavillion seems closed... [21:25] looking at each other, you realise that your appearances have changed [21:25] * Maris looks at himself [21:25] "Um...Jyn...is that you ?" [21:25] * Vanal looks at himself [21:25] * Vanal checks his relfection in his shield [21:26] * Jynaru shrugs. "I dunno. Which one do you think I am? [21:26] It is clearly you... [21:26] How did our apperaences change? [21:26] but, your clothing, your hair... your weapons [21:26] "Hey...where's ym daiklaive ?!" [21:27] [21:27] "What did you *DO* Maris ?!" [21:28] your clothing has been changed into the most beautiful dress imaginable. jewled sashes, golden vests, each bearing the sign of your elemental caste on the back. Jynaru has a pirate's hat, but no bird. [21:28] * Maris checks for his armor and weapons [21:28] "What the HELL ?!" [21:29] * Vanal looks for his collar and his ring [21:29] Your hair, meanwhile, has been elegently braided and your hair is perfectly trimmed, having been raggedy after your long days at sea. Tala's has completely grown back, her deep black-blue hair falling to her waist [21:29] Irin's is in a large braid to her back, and Shakel's seems to be... spikey [21:29] * Vanal blinks at Tala... [21:29] * Tala stares at her clothes and her weapons [21:29] "hey, yuo don't look bad with hair..." [21:29] "Wonderful. Now I can look pretty when the native animals eat my corpse. Yarrr." [21:30] All your equipment has been buffed and shined, but it's still there [21:30] * Tala takes a handful of hair she hasn't seen in over a decade [21:31] "By the Dragons..!" [21:31] * Maris looks at the others, "Sorry. Guess I shouldn't be working that thing after all. At least no harm was done. [21:31] * Vanal blinks at the various's ladies new looks [21:31] "I can dig this." [21:31] * Maris steps back from the orb thing [21:32] The orb remains glowing, each of the runes now superimposed with golden light [21:32] "Definitely much digging." [21:32] Irin shakes her head quickly at maris. [21:33] Is she mad? [21:33] not really, more "ah, men". "Anyhow, I recognize some of these runes... I can't speak old realm, but I recognize a few of the characters" she says [21:33] she points out the old realm runes for dress, color, style, so on. [21:33] "Nice hat, Jyn." [21:33] "Well tell me before I do this stuff. I definately need to learn some old realm one of these days. It's proving to be useful. [21:34] * Vanal raises an eyebrow "The multitalented Cathak Irin..." [21:34] "Yarrrr." [21:34] she gives a acknowledging smile to Vanal, before laughing at Jynaru [21:34] * Vanal *Skael* appraises he new style... "It'll do...." [21:35] "Do any of you have a knife?" [21:36] "I wonder if this stays once we leave..." [21:36] * Vanal pulls put his Exceptional Boot Knife (TM) [21:36] (out) [21:36] "May i?" [21:36] * Vanal tosses it over [21:37] "It'll *do* ? Dear...this is the swankiest clothing I've ever WORN..." [21:37] * Tala catches the knife and proceeds to shorten her hair considerably, not to the point of shaving it off, more to get rid of what she considers to be in the way." [21:37] (Shak) "Yeah...but you've been out in the boonies for the past couple of years." [21:37] ok. [21:37] "Hey, what's that supposed to mean !" [21:37] 'So what do you think they mean Irin?" [21:38] A few strokes take care of that. Vanals knife cuts nicely, but then I don't imagine you're taking any time to make the cuts look good? [21:39] (Shak) "Oh, don't take it so personally...soldiers aren't supposed to be fashion-plates." [21:39] She's making them even, yes, but cuting it soldier-length [21:39] * Vanal grumbles [21:39] ok [21:39] The word "neat" is more appropriate than "good" [21:40] In a matter of moment's, the floor is covered with a pile of three foot long strands of dark blue hair, and Tala is looking more like her usual self, if quite fuzzy [21:40] "Speak for the legionairres. I can manage to keep the blood off of MY new outfits." [21:41] "Tala, no offense...don't become a barber." [21:41] [her hair is much more black than blue] [21:41] "I've NO IDEA how the ichor got on my armor, Jyn...the collar was supposed to STOP that from happening." [21:41] [I know, it's just kinda hard to say dark blue black hair ;)] [21:42] (Midnight blue.) [21:42] (allright, I'll use that) [21:43] * Jynaru shrugs. "I'm not sure if the makers ever considered you might be killing demons instead of standing back and telling other people to kill demons. [21:43] "I'm not sure...these clothes simply reek of tubularity, Jyn." [21:43] It is then you notice a low murmor coming from all around you. You cannot see anything outside of the pavillion, because of the curtains being down. [21:44] "Granted, I can't move too well in them." [21:44] * Maris looks around, "What the hell is that [21:44] * Vanal shucks the obstructing overcoat and pulls on his gear [21:44] (It isn't bad enough to give you more than a -1 mobility penalty and no fatiuge value) [21:45] "check the windows." [21:45] [no windows] [21:45] (And +2 style points?) [21:45] [it's like the inside of a tent] [21:45] "Pull open the curtains." [21:45] [I'd rate the total job around +1 APP] [21:45] (so I'm app *6* now ?) [21:45] [:)] [21:46] * Vanal still looks rather suave, even minus the long coat [21:46] * Tala returns the knife [21:46] [Tala's lost the bonus, but she is not looking shabby regardless] [21:46] * Vanal resheathes it in his boot [21:46] * Tala also removes the gaudier articles of clothing, like sashes and any jewelry [21:47] * Maris checks the windows and behind the curtains [21:47] this is easily done, but taking off too much might leave things a bit... chilly [21:47] Maris, you slowly peer through a part in the pavillion... [21:49] -> [Storyteller] PING [21:49] [Storyteller PING] [21:49] [Storyteller PING reply]: 0secs [21:50] * Tala follows the others once she finishes [21:51] * Maris closes the pavilian and goes back to the others, "There's people out there now." [21:51] "People? PEOPLE?" [21:51] * Maris nods [21:51] "Check for yourself" [21:52] * Jynaru goes over to use his ocular superiority. [21:52] There's a party going on. A rather formal, sedate party, but it's a ballroom party, nonetheless. The entire place is filled. They look human, well dressed, and very much having a good time. Oh, and their is no defineable theme, though what they wear is definately *quite* out of date [21:53] "Waitaminute..." [21:54] * Vanal peeks out [21:54] * Vanal ponders [21:54] "I don't think I'll need the armor...wish I'd brought my chain shirt, though." [21:54] "Illusion. Has to be. No way they could preserve those people for that long..." [21:54] "someone pass me my coat again ?" [21:54] "Irin have you figured out what that orb does yet? [21:55] "Time travel ?" [21:55] they're sipping wine, sampling foods from the large tables, and sitting at circular tables [21:55] conversing softly [21:55] Irin shakes her head no. [21:55] * Maris sighs, "Well I guess we could go talk with them [21:55] "It just seems to be some kind of tailoring device. I've never heard of anything like it." [21:55] "You think the humans are illusion?" [21:56] "...magic for tailoring...one of your relative develop that, hon ?" [21:56] (Shak) *pointedly ignores the good-natured jab* [21:56] "I don't see anything that would suggest that..." [21:56] :people?" [21:57] "Yes, I'm sure the ancient ones used that so they'd know what next season's fashions are. Of course it isn't time travel! Or we, my friends, are SCREWED." [21:57] "I'll go talk to them." [21:57] * Kasumi (Kasumi@203.40.169.63) Quit (Connection reset by peer) [21:58] "Don't snap at me, Ledaal...jsut because I spend mroe time sutdying maneuvers than magical theory..." [21:58] * Maris heads out into the party to see how they react. [21:58] Maris, you're pretty much ignored, though they are obviously politely averting their eyes [21:58] "You've got no idea what this damn boat probably is, do you?" [21:58] "A party boat ?" [21:59] wits + lore jyn [21:59] * Jynaru shrugs. [21:59] !ex 5 [21:59] Jynaru : !ex 5, 1, 3, 10, 7, 2, Successes : 3 [22:00] * Maris frowns and heads back to the others, "They're annoying me. Let's try and find the bidge." [22:00] bridge. [22:00] "You're familiar with the story about Danaa'd locking the gate to the underworld?" [22:00] "Yeah.' [22:00] "Yeah." [22:00] * Maris points to teh rather flagrant imagery of the story on his black jade armor. [22:01] "...Dude, have I ever mentioned just how tasteless that armor *is* ?" [22:01] "As we know, the great cleansing didn't quite get all the Anathema. Guess how they got the ones who fled to the gate." [22:02] "sank the ship ?" [22:02] "How?" [22:02] Irin is still pushing and prodding at the machine. Now it is making an illusion of various styles of clothing on the four of you. However, there seems to be no "undo" function. [22:02] * Jynaru nods. [22:02] "Oh bloody HELL...this is the ship, isn't it ?" [22:02] "We are FUCKED." [22:02] "Got it in one, V." [22:03] The anathema's Ship? [22:03] * Jynaru laughs. "Blooms insistence on dropping us off here makes so much sense now, doesn't it? He wants his old friends back!" [22:03] "Jeez." [22:03] "What do you mean?"? [22:03] * Tala tries to help Irin [22:03] "Maris, I jsut want you to know, if I die here, when I'm sitting in the arms of Heshiesh...I'll be laughing at you for gETTING ME INTO THIS MESS !" [22:04] (err...lemme retype that...) [22:04] "Maris, I jsut want you to know, if I die here, when I'm sitting in the arms of Heshiesh...I'll be laughing at you burning in the inferno for GETTING ME INTO THIS MESS !" [22:05] "What did I do?" [22:05] "As you know, my House is known for its collection of various texts. Some of them mention the usage of a great ship of the line after the cleansing to transport something very dangerous. It's implied that Anathema were involved." [22:05] "you TRIGGERED this !" [22:05] * Vanal is pacing around in a circle [22:05] "I pushed the orb. It makes illusions. [22:06] "THOSE *gestures to the crowd* do NOT look like illusions." [22:06] "Whatever the cargo is we haven't messed with it." [22:06] "Most likely are." [22:06] "Ten-to-one the anathema were the cargo." [22:07] "They aren't anathema. There's no way." [22:07] * Maris looks at teh partiers again. [22:07] "Howsabout you ask 'em ?" [22:07] The partiers are still trying to ignore you [22:07] "They won't talk to us." [22:07] * Jynaru chuckles ruefully. "I don't think that they would have been this festive after the uprising." [22:07] "We could punch them around but that makes little since. [22:08] "Did you TALK to them ?" [22:08] * Jynaru scans the crowd, looking for a face he Miiiiight recognize as a description of an important person. Also to see if they have the caste/aspect thing on back of shirt. [22:08] "Jun, they were ANTHEMA...they probably thought they'd had everythign under contorl, ands that'd get away scot-free." [22:08] Wellll if you actually left the pavillion they might talk to you [22:08] * Vanal grabs his coat [22:09] "I'm going out there, and I'm getting answers." [22:09] * Vanal composes himself [22:09] right now you guys sure are looking funny, looking through the crack of a pavillion at innocent partygoers :) [22:09] * Vanal pulls it on, puts on his dignified soldierly party manner, and heads out [22:10] * Jynaru shrugs. "Should we join him?" [22:10] "Or try to pretend we don't know the angry soldier with no manners?" [22:10] !ex 6 [22:10] Tala : !ex 6, 1, 3, 5, 1, 8, 3, Successes : 1 [22:10] * Vanal goes to get some food and drink..and tries to evesdrop on the various partygoers as he does so [22:10] * Maris thought he did actually go out there to talk with them [22:11] "Ah we might as well go out there." [22:11] * Maris heads out to see if they'll talk with him. [22:11] Okay... Vanal, Maris, Jynaru, are the guys going out and the girls fiddling with the machine? [22:12] ...dude, that sounds SO wrong [22:12] * Storyteller 's innocent, I swear [22:13] * Jynaru adjusts his hat to a jaunty angle. "While we're doing this, could you please not mess with the clothes thing? I don't really anticipate suddenly standing in the middle of that party naked." [22:13] * Vanal tries to insert himself into a conversation [22:15] You listen.. [22:15] but their conversation is in old realm [22:15] * Vanal winces [22:15] * Vanal mentally curses [22:15] When Jynaru tries to talk with one of them, they look at him oddly. [22:16] "Guys...we've got a big problem." [22:16] Then they call over to somebody else, who looks at Jynaru, bowing elegantly. [22:16] * Maris sighs and tests the food. [22:17] * Jynaru grins. "It's gotta be the hat." [22:17] * Jynaru will return the bow, and then examine the somebody else. [22:17] He is a bald black man, and his red robes complement his skin tone well. He bows to Jynaru, and then concentrates, and starts trying to speak in broken high realm [22:17] "sorry... good not I.." [22:18] His voice is deep, like Barry White [22:18] "Realm.. do you speak it?" [22:19] [I don't think High Realm would exist in the First Age] [22:19] "Ah! A translator! I speak two versions." [22:19] he looks at you questioningly, seems to be tinkering with some kind of amulet around his neck [22:19] * Jynaru will say that in both High and Low Realm. And probably bizarro military Old-ese. [22:20] "two versions of Realm? Can you use one of them then please?" his voice is much clearer this time through [22:20] * Vanal walks over to Jyn [22:20] * Jynaru nods. "Of course. Translator, this is Cathak Vanal." [22:20] * Vanal gives a polite bow [22:20] "Pleased to meet you." [22:21] * Jynaru will give a lengthy description of Vanal, making sure the other person both hears and understands he's talking about Vanal." [22:21] * Vanal is speaking High Realm [22:21] He looks at you two oddly. [22:21] "My name is Meridian." [22:21] he nods to your description, but seems rather confused. [22:22] * Maris stands next to teh two of them and listens [22:22] "The Threshold? What is that?" [22:22] "you msut forgive my associate...too much time on the leaf." [22:22] "he means...the river province." [22:23] (I assume Van learned the proper term is history class ?) [22:23] "But.. That is the heart of the Realm. Why should you need defense from that?" [22:23] (*in) [22:23] "There have been some..uprisings there." [22:23] "Hmm.. how strange." [22:23] "The powers prefer to keep it hush-hush." [22:23] "I would have expected to hear of it." [22:23] He nods suddenly, understanding. [22:23] "Of course, then" he smiles. [22:24] "I understand that too well." [22:24] he bows [22:24] "Tell me, I was forced to leave rather quickly, and never recieived full instructions...wha tis going on here ?" [22:24] "In any case, enjoy the party. Speak Realm though, not.. whatever it is you're speaking now. Never heard it before." He laughs as he turns to a woman who is following at his side, and they are about to leave as you interrupt [22:25] "Jynaru, we have a major problem." [22:25] * Jynaru nods. "I hate to say it, but you know what this means." [22:25] "I told you so." [22:25] "Ah, this is just a party we are having before we arrive at Twilight's Tear. We should be there by midnight, you know... you don't know!" he says, rather surprised. "I don't recognize you either." [22:25] "Tabs." [22:26] "I was recovering from injuries. I only fully recovered recently." [22:27] He nods. "Odd for you to be on a cruise ship though. Glad you are well now. Enjoy the party." [22:27] "I will." [22:27] "And NO. NOT Tabius." [22:27] He takes off the amulet, and stores it in his vest pocket, then moves off with his beautiful escort [22:27] "I am NOT running to the bronze-skinned TWIT every time we have a problem." [22:28] * Jynaru nods. "Who else knows the language?" [22:28] "No damned clue." [22:28] "Unless you think we can get by with knowing the tourist's phrasebook Irin knows." [22:28] "We can't...can we even GEt back ?" [22:28] * Vanal scowls [22:29] "Fuck. I sweat to Sextes Jylis, when this is voer, I am going to beat him until he can barely speak." [22:29] *swear [22:29] "We get Tabius." [22:29] "You'd better hope so. You see all these happy shining people? We can't last forever, and when we don't, thy're gonna be all golden." [22:30] * Maris watches the people around him and sighs [22:30] * Jynaru scans the crowd. "And I don't even have enough arrows for half these people." [22:30] "And I can't BS for eternity..by the way...think bacxk to HISTORY class. There WAS no Threshhold..." [22:30] "Let's try and find the engine room." [22:30] [have we had any luck yet?] [22:30] "And do what ?" [22:30] * Maris heads back to the others. [22:31] "Maris seem a bit... odd to you?" [22:32] Tala, what do you want to do [22:32] * Jynaru will speak quietly, hoping the noise of the party covers the conversation. [22:32] with the machine [22:32] It is just for giving you cool outfits [22:32] you can choose from just about anything [22:32] "Maybe we can get a couple of fully-functional Noble Warstriders from the machine and go nuts ?" [22:33] Well, in any case, she can try to get something more appropriate for her to be wearing. I thought Irin was trying to reverse the timetravel [22:33] (Does Shak know old realm ?) [22:34] no [22:34] (just exploring possibilities, thanks) [22:34] you can't get ARMOR from the mchine [22:34] "I mean, we know at one point he was on Red's side. What if that conversion was meant to fail, so we'd trust him now? He's awfully obsessed about fixing this thing..." [22:34] there is no timetravel as far as you think [22:34] you can't ger armor, clothes, or artifacts from the machine [22:34] there is no illusion according to the machine [22:35] * Maris looks at Tala and Irin, "Let's stop playing with the machine and try to figure out what else is on this ship. [22:35] "If he is, we beat him senseless."\ [22:35] * Vanal scowls [22:36] "in the meantime, we follow him. I know approximately Jack and shite about boats, and Jack just took a cruise to Nexus." [22:36] * Jynaru shrugs. "I can dig it." [22:37] "and dtich the hat, bud...you look like a Nexus pimp." [22:37] * Vanal head sback to the pavillion [22:37] * Tala nods and goes out , looking around outside the ship. What does it look like outside? [22:38] Irin will be through with it [22:38] Tala, roll Wits + Lore again [22:38] !ex 6 [22:38] Tala : !ex 6, 1, 9, 3, 8, 6, 5, Successes : 2 [22:38] "Hey! Chicks dig the hat! See?" [22:38] * Jynaru points at a random partygoer, who probably stares in incomprehension. [22:38] okay. Tala, you are covered in a light glow... a few minutes later you are wearing a simple, yet elegant embrodiered smoother-than-milk silk robe, and your hair is gone again. [22:39] * Maris looks around for a better way to go. [22:39] "Dude, enough relaxo-smokes." [22:39] * Jynaru will smile, bow to partygoer, and follow after Vanal. [22:39] * Maris looks for a way to get to teh bridge even. [22:39] * Tala accepts it as the closest she can get then goes outside to look around [22:39] there are only the six doors [22:39] "hey...you're bald again !" [22:39] "Hey, you'd prefer I get all jittery and start pumping arrows into shadows?" [22:39] * Maris checks one of the other doors then. [22:40] There seems to be a large spiral staircase behind the pavilion [22:40] "Then lay off the OTHEr stuff." [22:40] Going up or down? [22:40] It goes down into the depths of the sea. [22:40] * Maris sighs and opens one of the other six doors to see what's behind it. [22:41] Are we still where we were? [22:41] yea [22:41] I mean on the island [22:41] I mean into the depths of the ship (rolls eyes) people going into it [22:41] oh [22:41] When I alook around outside [22:41] you can't see from where you are, the great pearl doors are closed [22:42] I said I went outside twice [22:42] Nobody is guarding them [22:42] sorry [22:42] Nobody is guarding them, but the doors refuse to budge [22:42] "Okay, this is getting weirder and weirder." [22:43] "any volunteers to help me kick one down ? [22:43] * Tala looks for a window [22:43] * Maris sighs at the damn doors and looks at the others, "Well we can check around below for stuff." [22:43] "I doubt that door is going anywhere. [22:43] There are few windows, going to one you can see that it is apparently entirely decorative, as each one shows a different image [22:44] * Tala tries to go to the interior side of where the gash would be [22:44] okay [22:44] * Jynaru nods. [22:44] Anybody going with Tala? [22:44] * Maris will go with tala [22:45] "Maybr we should split up ? [22:45] * Jynaru will grab a glass of wine and carry it with him when he follows. [22:45] " [22:45] "wait no...dumb idea. I'd get lost." [22:47] * Maris looks to the others, "You think they might be ghosts?" [22:47] "Oh, THERE'S a cheerful thought." [22:47] "Ghosts that use artifacts? Tala can check later." [22:47] Ok [22:48] you make your way down to the ship, where the giant gash should be. [22:48] roll wits + investigation to figure [22:48] your navigation or get lost in the halls [22:48] !ex 5 [22:48] Jynaru : !ex 5, 8, 7, 1, 8, 10, Successes : 5 [22:48] The halls are not empty, but there are not many people. [22:48] !ex 5 [22:48] Tala : !ex 5, 8, 2, 6, 7, 10, Successes : 4 [22:49] Allright, you guys make it there... [22:49] Looking up at the great gash in the bottom of the boat, sunlight still trickles through, though it is the red of the setting sun. [22:49] "Okay, that was WIERD." [22:50] * Vanal has lost his overcoat, rolled us his sleeves, and is wearing his armor and stuff again [22:50] (Wait.... wasn't there a bunch of rubble in the gash?) [22:50] Strangely, you're going to have to "fall" into the hole; you are standing on the hull, of course [22:50] (yes, there was) [22:50] (And is it gone?) [22:50] no, the room is large, and otherwise empty except for what appear to be many old, broken, rotting casks and trunks, but it is filled with broken up jagged rocks and vines and such [22:51] "This is very strange." [22:51] * Jynaru ponders. [22:51] "I hate to say this, but we should head back, and get the others." [22:51] (is there a person-sized hole, or will we have to clear one?) [22:51] * Maris nods, "That might be a good idea." [22:51] You can crawl through [22:52] * Tala uses the opening to exit the ship [22:52] "I ESPECIALLY hate to say this part....but we need Tabs. He can speak tha tmish-mash of a language." [22:52] but if you did you'd be suspended in midair [22:52] How high? [22:52] hundred feet or so [22:52] got a rope, or you could make the jump [22:52] "Well let's try and get some rope." [22:52] "would a vine hold ?" [22:52] (Whaddya think, guys. I go through first with rope and Super-Ath?) [22:53] * Tala goes back to the machine [22:53] Maybe. [22:53] * Tala attempts to craft a rope w/ it [22:53] The vines are maybe a quarter inch thick, some of the major ones one, two inches thick [22:53] so...no ? [22:53] It means.... we'll see. [22:53] ... [22:53] * Vanal examines the vines [22:53] [any luck?] [22:54] "I'll look in the holds for stores of rope." [22:54] Dex + Craft, which means you get one dice [22:54] * Maris goes and tries to find store of rope in the holds. [22:54] !ex 1 [22:54] Vanal : !ex 1, 6, Successes : 0 [22:54] [I thought it was wits lore to make the machine work] [22:54] Vanal you get two dice [22:54] Tala aren't you trying to make a rope with the vines? [22:54] ohhh you mean the machine [22:54] * Storyteller so silyl [22:54] !ex 1 [22:54] Vanal : !ex 1, 4, Successes : 0 [22:55] (the second die) [22:55] you could give yourself a really elaborate clothes and then rip it apart [22:55] * Jynaru will examine the larger vines, attempting to find the largest, most resilient. [22:55] but you'd need to do it several times to make a rope of sufficient length [22:56] * Tala does it. [22:56] * Tala makes clothes designed for the purpose though, so they are tough enough [22:56] * Maris just looks for a hold and some rope in it [22:57] alright [22:58] You get the material.... [22:58] But... [22:58] Maris, there won't be any rope in the holds [22:58] Besides where the gashes are, the holds are completely deserted. [22:58] You find yourself wondering where the food and water is kept [22:58] Any cargo anywhere aboard? [22:58] The engine room, if it is here, isn't in the bottoms of the ship [22:58] besides in the rooms with the gash, where the cargo has been rotted to dust, nothing [23:00] * Maris heads back to the others not understanding it at all. Is there a way that looks like it would go up toward those dark service stairs? [23:00] You all return to the main room to help with the clothes. You have been getting a few odd looks now, as you keep returning to get new clothes [23:00] * Lilth (~BlackRose@pool-151-203-5-77.bos.east.verizon.net) has joined #pvpexalted [23:01] The black skinned man walks along with you, looking oddly. "Sir, is there a problem?" [23:01] You notice he now has a single, straight adamantium blade at his side. It's cold edge glints in the glow [23:02] "No problem at all." [23:02] "Why do you ask?" [23:02] * Vanal idly makes sure he can get at his daiklaive quickly [23:03] "Your companion, the one who insists on being... bald. Penance of some sort, I can understand. But.. what is with the clothes?" [23:03] "She's a little wiggy." [23:03] "too much time fighting Fair Folk." [23:04] * Jynaru quietly unzips a quiver. "If you'll wait just a moment, sir, we'll show you. Don't tell anyone, though. Classified." [23:04] [wow, they have invented the zipper?] [23:05] [they've got flush toilets..they've got zippers] [23:05] "Oh, that is such a shame. The Fair Folk are indeed horrible beings." [23:05] (Yep. Sidereals even wear Levi's. Future sight, all that.) [23:06] He bows to you. [23:07] * Vanal returns the bow [23:07] "It is becoming late. Would you like to be shown to your quarters? They have been prepared for everyone, should they tire of the party..." [23:07] "Not at the moment. Maybe in a while. [23:08] He nods, looking at you all with a calculating glance. "Very well. Please, do not hesitate to call for me." He reaches into his pocket, and removes from it a small circular coin, and hands it to you. "When you require my assistance, simply hold this in your hand and call my name, good sirs." [23:09] * Vanal nods [23:09] "Your name again?" [23:10] "Meridian, good sir." [23:10] * Maris nods [23:12] Okay what are you guys going to do now. [23:12] and where is everyone [23:12] of this exact moment [23:13] * Tala is working on the clothing-rope [23:13] * Maris is at this exact moment upstairs talking to Meridian. He's going to help Tala make the rope so they can get out of the ship. [23:13] * Jynaru 's heading towards the rubble-gash. [23:14] Tei is AFK.. Vanal? [23:14] no bloody clue [23:15] help maris...

[23:24] He was in the hold [23:24] "It just.. sealed up as the sun set..." he shudders. [23:24] "Waitaminute.. [23:24] ((Tei was in the village.))

[23:33] "Tei...you okay ?" [23:34] "What happened? Did the other tribes attack again?" [23:35] Tei shakes his head. [23:36] "When you didn't come, and night was apporaching, they sent me here. Tabius cast some kind of spell that made me fly though the air... After healing me he did not have the strength to take me farther. What is this place?

[23:37] * Tabius (~web-Guest@ip68-96-99-153.lv.lv.cox.net) Quit (Client exited) [23:38] * Jynaru will explain his theory to Tei. "We were just about to leave." [23:38] He shakes his head sadly [23:38] "It's a strange enough place [23:38] "I don't know how you are going to get off now." [23:39] He looks at what sister Tala is wearing [23:39] "Wait...the crack is CLOSED ?!" [23:39] * Jynaru nods. [23:39] his attention is diverted by Vanal. [23:39] "So how the HELL do we ge tout of here ?!" [23:39] "It .. grew together! [23:40] Tei shakes his head in disbelief [23:40] * Jynaru will tap the hull with his axe to demonstrate the solidity.

[23:41] "They were in there somewhere. Or maybe we'll have to wait tell daylight?" [23:41] [I'd probably just look like I was in ceremonial robes, prefectly legal, if the situation warranted it] [23:41] "What the FUCK did we get ourselves into ?" [23:41] [naturally but it isn't exact] [23:42] [and of couse you aer summmoning elaborate clothes to turn into rope] [23:42] [and then ripping it off your body [23:42] [:P] [23:42] "I told you, man. You think a boat they used to carry Anathema or warstriders or whatever wouldn't have major security?"

[23:51] * Vanal lights up a normal cigar [23:51] "Nope." [23:53] "Other than it helped keep me loose on hunts, they always said this stuff would be the death of me. I prefer this end to the other ones a person in my profession gets." [23:53] * Jynaru inhales deeply and smiles. [23:55] * Maris searches trying to find a way out. [23:56] The hours pass as you scour hallway after hallway, going into room after room after room; some of them locked, but more that you know are inhabited, for all during this time people are making use of their private quarters. [23:57] "Hey. Maris. Hold up a second." [23:57] for all of this you do not find any who speak your language, or a way off the ship... [23:57] though you do find some of the smaller doors, with jade stairways, that lead up to deck.. they are locked, however. [23:58] * Tabius [~web-Guest@ip68-96-99-153.lv.lv.cox.net] is on IRC [23:58] * Tabius (~web-Guest@ip68-96-99-153.lv.lv.cox.net) has joined #pvpexalted [23:58] * Maris waits up for Jynaru.

Think he could get us on deck?" [23:59] "Say we've finished our mission, have magical conveyance waiting for us?" [00:00] "We can ask." [00:00] * Maris pulls out the coin and says, "Meridian." [00:00] The coin changes from jade to lead in an instant, it's power used. [00:00] And so... you wait. [00:01] * Maris pockets the coin and waits for him. [00:02] where are you, in the ship [00:02] "Maybe we should ask him what's going on ?" [00:03] * Maris is just about done looking through it and is currently near one of the stairwell's going up. [00:03] * L_Jynaru (Fiat@dialup-65.58.23.190.Dial1.Atlanta1.Level3.net) has joined #pvpexalted [00:03] ok [00:03] * Jynaru (Fiat@dialup-209.246.186.54.Dial1.Atlanta1.Level3.net) Quit (Ping timeout) [00:03] * Jynaru [Fiat@dialup-209.246.186.54.Dial1.Atlanta1.Level3.net] has left IRC [00:04] A few minutes later Meridian arrives, adamant sword at his side. He is followed by two servants, one male, one female, both incredibly attractive and wearing only robes to cover their bodies [00:04] "Ahh, you are ready to sleep, good masters?" [00:05] "Actually I was wondering if you could open this door. I'd like to get some air before I head to bed." [00:05] He grimices. "I would not reccomend that. We are going through a storm right now, if we open the door it could flood the decks. We've had to delay putting off landing at the island until the hurricane passes, [00:06] "I don't feel a thing..." [00:06] "Of course, this ship has been enchanted with the most advanced in sorcery to prevent any sign that we are at sea in the first place! [00:06] * L_Jynaru grimaces. "Are there no windows that open?" [00:06] "We do not even need crew to man the sails or tiller." [00:06] "A storm huh? Is there a window where I can look at it?" [00:06] * Vanal raises a dubious eyebrow "I see." [00:07] "If you'd like to see outside I can make the door clear for you. Will that do?" [00:07] "No crew?" [00:07] * Maris nods to the man, "Do that please. [00:07] "Ah, there is crew. For instance, these two are servants. I am a guard, to protect from anyone who might have came abord.. with rather unfortunate intentions." [00:08] "No sailors though?" [00:08] * L_Jynaru blinks. "Have there been problems with that, sir Meridian? Saboteurs?" [00:09] "There are a few sailors, should the enchantments somehow fail. I, myself, have only sailed smaller ships. But there are those abord who have more experience." [00:09] "Does anyone guide the ship? A captain maybe?" [00:09] "We all serve a dual purpose on this ship." [00:09] "There is a captain. [00:10] "I would not be worried about a saboteurs. There are always those who do not understand the glory of the realm, and seek to do us injustice, but we shall deal with them in time.. and we are more then their match abord this ship." [00:10] "Well. Could you let me have a look outside then?" [00:10] he waves his hand over the door, a green jade rock in his hand. AS he does so the pearl door turns completely transparent, allowing you to see the deck of the ship. It appears as if you are in a great sea, waves rolling over the deck at least a foot high. [00:11] * Maris sighs as he looks out at it, "Well I guess I'd like a room if that's not too much trouble. I am tiring." [00:12] He bows to you, and waves to the two servants. [00:12] * L_Jynaru mutters under his breath. [00:12] "These two will serve you as you wish. If you would like seperate, or shared rooms... that can of course, be arranged. A good rest to you, my masters. [00:12] * Maris nods [00:13] * Maris looks to the others, "Things will be fine by morning. If not at least the ship will have landed." [00:13] "And I'd like my own room please." [00:13] * Maris says to the woman [00:14] * L_Jynaru will whisper to Tala and ask her if she'd mind going into spirit sight for a moment. Things are very strange. [00:14] The woman bows to you four. "Please, follow us." they say, and lead you away from the door, back into the bowles of the ship [00:14] * Maris follows them. [00:14] * Vanal nods and follows [00:15] * L_Jynaru will of course follow. [00:15] (Wait. 4? Where's Irin and Tei?) [00:15] Tala nods, closing her eyes for a moment, walking after them as she does so, and then her eyes quickly slip, and her step becomes irregular. A quick shake of the head. "If there are spirits, they are either material, or they are not here... There are the main spirits one would expect for a ship... and I feel a greater one... deeper in the ship... but it must be what powers the ship. Such things were used greatly in the first age." [00:16] Well, I'm going to assume you just picked up Tala, so that's five [00:16] (Ends at such things were used greatly.) [00:16] Tei must have turned in a while ago because he isn't around. [00:16] in the first age as a power source." [00:17] * L_Jynaru nods, and bides his time. Can ask the servents about Tei later. [00:19] * Maris merely follows [00:19] Anyhow, you are brought to a row of rooms. [00:19] "These rooms are empty" says the man smiling. "There are five of them, so you can each have your own room, or you could share if you prefer." [00:20] * Lilth (~BlackRose@pool-151-203-5-77.bos.east.verizon.net) Quit (Quit: « Ë×Çü®§îöñ » Info-[v9.4.22]- Released-[August 19, 2002]- Channel-[#Excursion on Dal.Net]-) [00:20] * L_Jynaru nods. "Is our compatriot nearby?" [00:20] They blink. "who?" [00:21] "Bald head, wore robes?" [00:21] "About this high, this wide? We thought he had gotten a room already." [00:21] "Ahh... I am afraid not, he requested rooms much earlier.. though he may still be walking the ship." [00:21] She nods. "You were allocated rooms, but we assign them as need requires." [00:22] * L_Jynaru smiles amiably. "Quite understandable. Do you know where he is?" [00:22] "Certain of the rooms are less grand then the others" she says, as she hands out small orbs of red jade [00:23] "His room, I mean." [00:23] * Vanal scowls deeply [00:23] "I think he may be near the bow of the ship, but I would have to check the records to be sure."

They also serve as your key should you need it." [00:24] * Maris takes a orb of red jade and goes to one of the rooms to get some sleep. [00:24] * L_Jynaru nods. "I would greatly appreciate that. He has some papers I need to finish." [00:25] * Maris nods to the servant before he goes in his room to sleep [00:25] The rooms aren't very big (maybe only 30'x15') but they are big enough, and the beds are packed with feathers. [00:25] and are *very* comfortable. [00:25] They are decorated in similar manner to the rest of the ship. A few pillars, some paintings here and there. [00:25] Plants hanging from the walls [00:26] everyone getting some shuteye? [00:26] Not I. [00:26] * L_Jynaru will wait until later, and then stalk the hallways. Must find Tei... disappearing=paranoia. [00:27] everyone else? [00:27] Maris? [00:27] * Maris is sleeping [00:27] ok [00:28] Vanal and Tala goto sleep, as are the two girls [00:28] who I guess don't have any fun tonight [00:30] Jynaru just stalking the hallways? [00:30] not going to go find somebody who knows what you're saying? [00:31] First thing is to find Tei, assuming said servant got back to me on where he is. [00:31] * L_Jynaru is likely under my Stealth Charm. [00:31] ok [00:32] ok [00:32] You go to his room [00:32] and knock on the door. [00:32] A sleepy Tei, wearing his immaculate robes, opens the door. [00:32] His head seems to have a 9'oclock shadow [00:32] "Jynaru?" [00:33] "There you are, Tei." [00:33] (I'd like to insert a little something prior to knocking on the door.) [00:33] ok [00:34] * L_Jynaru will lean against the frame of the door, and remove a single nail from his boot, and palm it before knocking on the door. [00:35] ok [00:36] "So what is it?" [00:36] * L_Jynaru smiles, and drops a hand on his shoulder, placing the flat end of the nail against Tei's skin. "We were checking up on you, you disappeared, and... it's best to know where everyone is around here." [00:36] * L_Jynaru will watch carefully for any reaction. One iron hobnail. [00:36] roll dex + larceny [00:37] (Standard equipment for professional Wyld hunters.) [00:37] (you know, for palming small items) [00:37] Spending a WP.

[00:39] but don't reroll it's obvious enough what the first two dice ar [00:39] * L_Jynaru can easily enough put a small nail in between his fingers, flat side down, and close the hand. [00:39] allright it's good [00:40] Tei doesn't seem to react at all to your hand, though he notices it [00:40] so.. no fair folk..... [00:40] "Just tell us if anything happens suspicios, ok?" [00:40] "Allright.. I just got tired of wandering... Getting here was very exhausting. Where are you staying?" [00:40] * L_Jynaru 'll tell him, and then leave. [00:40] * Storyteller nods [00:40] okay [00:40] now going to sleepy? [00:41] Nope. Re-activate the happy charm, play Solid Snake and hit the main room with the 6 pearl doors. Examine them closely. Very closely. [00:42] okay [00:42] smooth pearl [00:42] you've got your handles, think of a metal rod attached via two smaller rods [00:42] They're basically small duplicates of the large door at the end of the hall [00:43] anything else you want to know? [00:43] Which we also cannot open? [00:43] People go through them [00:43] No, you can open them, maris already has [00:43] The pearl doors? [00:44] the small ones [00:44] you can open [00:44] the big ones are shut against the storm [00:44] Hmmmm...... [00:44] * L_Jynaru ponders. [00:44] Is the ship anything in design like the one that Bloom brought us here in? [00:44] no, it's clearly a first age vessel [00:45] Well.... [00:45] want me to darw a quick picture? [00:45] one sec [00:45] I know THAT. [00:47] * L_Jynaru wants to know what sort of ship it is, and maybe where the captains room might be. [00:48] http://hammerand.virtualave.net/boat.jpg [00:48] there isn't any obvious place for the captain's quarters, or anything else for that mattery [00:48] it's all concealed into the house [00:48] into the er hull [00:48] Damn. [00:48] IE not obviously designed to be special [00:48] or at least look special. [00:49] Was there anywhere obviously blocked off when we were wandering around before? Guards, locks, that sort of thing? [00:49] nope [00:49] No guards? Christ.... [00:49] I'm only getting more and more creeped out. [00:49] besidse people like Meridian [00:49] * Bog_ModAway (Bog@h24-80-214-33.gv.shawcable.net) has joined #pvpexalted [00:49] He's the only one with a sword you've seen [00:50] * Bog_ModAway is now known as Bog_Mod [00:50] Meridian... eh.... [00:50] Did anyone else have that amulet sort of thing he had? [00:50] nope [00:50] but he had it concealed to begin with [00:50] Ah. [00:50] How are the the hatches and such locked down against the "storm"? [00:51] just seem to be water-tight [00:51] plus the handles, you know it just doesn't open [00:51] Hmmm... made of jade, you said? [00:51] the doors themselves are made of pearl [00:51] And the hull orichalcum? [00:51] yeap [00:52] the hull is orichulum, the doors are pearl, and the stairways are made of jade [00:52] What happened to all the rubble in the hold area? [00:52] most of the floor is also looking like orichlum but it is an alloy designed to put up to constant wear [00:52] did you go back to look? [00:52] * L_Jynaru was there when the thing closed and Tei was there. [00:52] I want to know what it was like THEN. [00:53] Or just after it closed. [00:53] yes, it looked like the rubble just dissapeared. [00:53] Oh.....fuck. [00:55] * L_Jynaru ponders. [00:55] And Tei at least isn't Fae. [00:55] There are no spirits according to Tala. [00:56] that's not what I said. [00:56] firstly, about spirits. [00:56] you have to understand that spirits are a rightful part of the natural order [00:56] if there weren't spirits, that would be a bad sign [00:56] so you have to look at the spirits there and decide if they are APPROPRIATE spirits [00:56] Material spirits... [00:58] * L_Jynaru ponders. [00:58] Oooooooh... let's check the cargo holds again. [00:59] Before, they were dusty and things had decayed. Check to see if that's stil the case. [01:01] Then, return to room, contemplate old legend, get sleep.
