[21:05] * Tabius did to no avail ;-) [21:05] and you all attacked different solars? [21:05] Yeah. One turn of combat. [21:07] We hope our backup DBs will save us, (and greatly overestimated our attacking ability in a few cases it seems). [21:07] heh [21:07] (Maybe if we had been informed of heavy armor in advance at least the monks would have acted as if they had combat experience?) [21:08] * Tala dealt like 6L to one [21:08] and Jyn slaughtered one [21:08] nope, it's still up... [21:08] * Cicada has a neat armor piercing weapon, no worries there. [21:08] (Bah. I killed one in one turn. WITH THE SAME THING I'VE BEEN DOING SINCE GAME 7!) [21:08] 14L and still going. [21:08] plus, they aren't counter-spelling [21:09] (If you've got 200 XP and can't beat that, you're doingsomething very wrong.) [21:09] of course now it has a per + occult roll at diffiulty 15... [21:09] Storyteller (12), 1, 9, 3, 3, 10, 10, 1, 6, 5, 1, 1, 9, Successes : 6 [21:09] lets see how the others do.. [21:09] Storyteller (12), 9, 2, 8, 2, 8, 8, 2, 9, 5, 6, 3, 8, Successes : 6 [21:09] Storyteller (12), 6, 7, 6, 2, 10, 1, 7, 9, 6, 10, 2, 7, Successes : 8 [21:09] (I guess they all have some 16 health levels) [21:09] *Diff 15 you say I could possible hit that, ;-) [21:09] * Tala was attacking a caster [21:10] they were all casting [21:10] did tala and tei attack the same one? [21:10] don't think so [21:10] did I interrupt him? [21:10] nope, he barely succeeded [21:11] * Storyteller points at the two sixes [21:11] 6L you did [21:12] cicada did 7L? [21:12] Yes. [21:12] Storyteller (12), 10, 8, 4, 10, 8, 1, 4, 2, 4, 6, 5, 2, Successes : 6 [21:12] ok so jynaru and cicada succeeded in their actions... [21:12] [err... what are you rolling for?] [21:13] the solar's ability to control the spells [21:13] [ah!] [21:13] * Jynaru made it die. Dead Infernal controls no spells. [21:13] * Cicada is now in the middle of a nuclear infer... err ... Solar level spell failure? :) [21:13] nah, he didn't botch [21:13] * Storyteller is dissapointed [21:14] ok lets see how the random dragon blooded do... [21:14] (leads a cheer for the wives) [21:14] lets see.... [21:14] * Storyteller does the averages in his head [21:15] 10 DBs per solar... [21:15] 10..dice..14.. 17 dice max...

[21:19] now to check to see if your assistancse brought down anyone [21:19] Storyteller (9), 4, 5, 8, 6, 3, 2, 9, 9, 2, Successes : 3 [21:19] Storyteller (12), 8, 10, 7, 2, 9, 10, 5, 9, 10, 5, 9, 5, Successes : 11 [21:19] Storyteller (9), 1, 9, 1, 9, 8, 3, 4, 8, 1, Successes : 4 [21:19] Storyteller (12), 1, 8, 6, 6, 5, 3, 1, 5, 8, 2, 6, 10, Successes : 4 [21:19] Storyteller (9), 9, 7, 4, 6, 7, 9, 10, 5, 9, Successes : 7 [21:19] Storyteller (12), 8, 6, 8, 3, 6, 10, 6, 7, 10, 10, 5, 6, Successes : 9 [21:19] Storyteller (9), 1, 10, 3, 2, 5, 6, 8, 8, 6, Successes : 4 [21:19] Storyteller (12), 9, 5, 9, 6, 5, 6, 10, 3, 10, 2, 6, 2, Successes : 6 [21:20] Ok.. here's how it goes down... [21:20] Storyteller (20), 10, 9, 7, 6, 5, 3, 10, 3, 3, 7, 2, 6, 8, 4, 7, 9, 5, 9, 6, 9, Successes : 12 [21:22] your attack on the solars is midly successful. Roughly half of them have had their spells disrupted. Two of the infernals are incapacitated; punctured with spears and arrows, they are lying unconcious on the ground, and the magic of their spells begins to wildly decay, unharnessed by anyone. two more are about to go down, bleeding profusely as they try to limp away. [21:23] obviously, these four are no further threat... [21:24] however, two of the solars took the hits, but were able to close off their essence flows, and have drawn their daiklaives... they do not seem happy. [21:24] The other six are now dodging wildly as they continue to cast their spells.. [21:25] one of them finishes at point blank, and the sky begins to burn overhead as massive fireballs fall to the ground, glowing huge trails of burning smoke [21:26] The two Tala and Tei are attacking are still casting their spells, and will probably finish next round, judging by the amount of essence left in them... [21:27] cicada's landslide falls from the mountain into the solars, including the one she was fighting, but all except the seriously wounded three are able to get out of the way.. [21:27] those three are covered under tonnes of rock [21:28] so: tala & Tei, yours still need to be dealt with [21:28] the rest of you, there are five more solars, two of them barely wounded and begining to actiave their melee combat combos [21:28] uh-oh [21:29] They want a piece of the champion, huh? They want to take on the Jynster, and all his Jynamaniacs, brother? [21:29] yea, they do [21:29] Dice Script Active [21:30] WAR IS JYNARU!!! [21:31] init? [21:32] init please.

[21:41] * Tala continues her relentless onslaught against her anathema foe. Her black jade claws, wet with her opponents blood, tear into it again and again, its blood splattering across the green grass as she tears into him, spinning and slashing and stabbing. [3 attacks, 2 charged with Theft of Essence Method, 4 personal, 4 periph, 2 willpower] [21:41] JUST Dawns he says. [21:42] +2 as the dawn trys to get out of your way and still manage to cast his spell. [21:42] * Tala 's anima flares around her, its shimmering blue light illuminating herself and her foe. [21:42] ah the folly of not having scene length defenses up before casting solar circle spells [21:42] [wait then he can't dodge] [21:43] quite right [21:43] [if he doesn't have flb or such up] [21:43] but he can move half his movement :) [21:43] * Tala can move full movement [21:43] naturally. futile. [21:43] 15 soak as last time. [21:43] !ex 16 [21:43] Tala (16), 5, 5, 10, 2, 1, 9, 8, 5, 10, 1, 2, 3, 9, 4, 1, 1, Successes : 7 [21:43] all successes are added to damage [21:44] !exm 1 [damage] [21:44] Tala (1), 9, Successes : 1 [21:44] !ex 9 [ess and martial arts steals 3m per success] [21:44] Tala (9), 7, 10, 8, 9, 7, 5, 3, 2, 3, Successes : 6 [21:45] hm, neat trick..

[21:50] Here's hoping that the two chunks work as advertised. [21:50] * Jynaru explodes from his position in the snow, slashing through the air as his blazing anima leaves a trail of flaming green stripes suggesting the form of a leaping tiger, lashing out with a spinning kick to the face of another foolish Solar, hammering his hand forward and tearing through the ribcage and heavy armor of the man as the body spins back around to face him, [21:50] * Jynaru ripping his arm up through the torso of the man as he raises his prize high before the stolen heart, no longer able to stand the torrents of power rampaging around Jyn's body, explodes into a fine red mist, creating a crimson rainbow settling down as he roars out his challenge to the remainng daiklave wielder. [21:50] * Storyteller thumbs up [21:51] [*crowd roars*] [21:51] [*even his target*] [21:51] Stunty bonus? [21:51] spellcaster or not? [21:51] * Storyteller will give you +3 [21:51] daiklave man. [21:52] (*nice Jyn :-)*) [21:52] * Storyteller nods [21:52] the dawn. [21:52] * Jynaru might as well see what the daiklave guy's got. [21:52] the daiklaive guy's got.... [21:52] * Storyteller counts his comboing [21:52] make your attack! [21:52] * Jynaru shall. 1 WP for three more dice. [21:53] !ex 26 [21:53] Jynaru (26), 8, 5, 1, 6, 8, 10, 8, 2, 8, 6, 9, 7, 10, 1, 8, 7, 10, 3, 10, 6, 7, 2, 9, 2, 7, 8, Successes : 20 [21:53] (Bitch.) [21:53] The dawn leaps away from you and your viscious cronies, calling upon his infernal combo to save him in this desperate battle... [21:53] Storyteller (22), 6, 10, 10, 5, 3, 5, 6, 4, 10, 10, 5, 1, 7, 6, 8, 10, 6, 5, 1, 10, 10, 8, Successes : 18 [21:53] !ex 22 +1 [21:53] 2 extra sux [21:54] !exm 8 [21:54] Jynaru (8), 8, 7, 10, 1, 5, 10, 2, 8, Successes : 5 [21:54] as essence flings around him, as he moves incredibly fast away from your blow, his daiklaive knocking you out of position just as it bunches into his chest [21:54] one more coming as well, with the 1 WP for hree more dice with the valor. [21:55] the orichlum visibly crushes under your fist as he moves back, and his eyes narrow to slits as he prepares for your next attack.. [21:55] !ex 26 [21:55] Jynaru (26), 3, 4, 5, 6, 5, 8, 3, 6, 8, 7, 5, 9, 6, 3, 10, 8, 1, 3, 3, 10, 2, 9, 5, 3, 7, 3, Successes : 11 [21:55] (DAMN!) [21:55] [21:55] (Stop parrying and die like a good boy!) [21:55] * Jynaru 'll take his tiny bits off essence back now for the 5D fort soon to come. [21:55] the infernal power rushes from his blade as he knocks you away from him, and twirls his daiklaive in the air as the other 9 dragon blooded rush him [21:56] maris, care to describe your ravaging horde? [21:56] * Storyteller will let them attack first next round with a good stunt/roll [21:59] the solars fall back, trying to reach one another. All of their animas are flaring widly, and you notice that they are somewhat different than the normal dawns. [22:00] * Maris charges forward at the front of his horde, his people flying after him. He roars in anger willing his fet to fly forward. And as he goes forward faster and faster and faster his people charge behind him their once traight line bending into a V with Maris at the head. The spirits of the land flow in and out of the army flying and binding and tieing it together almost making it one large beast who'sintents and purposes [22:02] The Seperate yells and roars merge to form one word over and over again, "Kill! KIll! Kill!" The air feels tense as if holding back and about to explode. The power of it builds up as Maris approaches the enemy and it seems likely the world will explode as he reaches them at the head of his beast. [22:02] woo +3 [22:02] presence + charisma [22:03] or wits [22:04] !ex 19 [22:04] Maris (19), 10, 5, 5, 3, 6, 5, 7, 8, 1, 2, 8, 8, 8, 5, 1, 1, 3, 6, 8, Successes : 8 [22:06] Ok... [22:06] The meteors stream down from the sky like teeth of red jade, crashing into the ground indiscriminately [22:07] the rain of fire, brimstone, sulphur and ash fall around you, obsuring your vision (-3 to all rolls) and doing a .. [22:07] Storyteller (14), 7, 7, 9, 3, 1, 9, 1, 9, 6, 5, 1, 6, 7, 8, Successes : 7 [22:07] !ex 14 [22:08] 7L attack to you. [22:08] can't be dodged/parried without a stunt, and it looks like it IS an indescriminate attack... [22:08] * Cicada sees the fireball descending on her in midflight. Though invisible to the eye, she remains in a state of being crushable. Calling on the wind in desperation she puts both her hands against the descending meteor and tries to catch it on a cushion of air and the force of her bracer, lightning and a whirlwind all that is visible under the burning rock, and then with a scream of anger and a great of feat of strength she turns the huge flaming [22:08] [cut off where?] [22:08] huge flaming. [22:09] ball from its path and sling it at a spellcasting Infernal. [22:09] [vengeful gust attack, 3 motes, 3 autosux, 5 if the bracer helps.] [22:09] +3 go... [22:09] still take 2L from the attack [22:10] scorching fires and ash and shit getting into your lungs [22:10] !ex 13 [22:10] Cicada (13), 1, 3, 10, 9, 9, 4, 10, 1, 1, 9, 8, 3, 5, Successes : 8 [22:10] Plus any autosux. [22:10] * Storyteller would say that's enough.. [22:10] but their soak is still 15. [22:10] Storyteller (2), 3, 6, Successes : 0 [22:10] !ex 2 [22:10] Storyteller (7), 8, 6, 1, 1, 5, 5, 10, Successes : 3 [22:10] !ex 7 [22:11] Storyteller (12), 1, 9, 7, 5, 7, 6, 7, 2, 4, 5, 9, 7, Successes : 6 [22:11] !ex 12 [22:11] Storyteller (12), 2, 7, 10, 10, 1, 9, 6, 8, 3, 6, 8, 6, Successes : 8 [22:11] !ex 12 [22:11] Storyteller (12), 1, 3, 3, 9, 5, 3, 10, 5, 5, 1, 8, 3, Successes : 4 [22:11] !ex 12 [22:12] the rocks crash into the ground, but overall they seem unaffected, safe within their body armor of orichulum.. [22:14] !exm 1 [22:14] Cicada (1), 3, Successes : 0 [22:14] (bah) [22:14] despite cicada's attack the rock glances harmlessly off his plate, though it knocks him about 10' along the now-smoldering rocks... [22:14] ok Cicada [22:15] wait everyone still needs to roll dodge/etc [22:16] anyone going to dodge? [22:16] or do you just soak it all? [22:16] if you get 7 sux on dodge you totally avoid the damage [22:16] parry works too. [22:16] I dodged allready got 2 sux and soaked the rest [22:17] (*Tabs is on the other side with his forces, no need dodge I presume?) [22:18] * Cicada is a lightning cloud of fury in the blackness of the overcast sky. Jumping from rock to rock in the avalanche she makes her way past the offending infernal from before. Kicking down hard on a huge rock she propels it against him and then sends august Moon along as well. Intinding to make the infernal look up towards the dropping rock as August Moon drops under him and then returns up trough him, cutting hin from crotch to chest, hitting [22:18] [more] [22:18] * Storyteller notes that everyone except maris and vanal are effected by the spell [22:18] [[chest, hitting [22:18] Storyteller (7), 1, 7, 6, 1, 2, 3, 8, Successes : 2 [22:18] !ex 7 [22:18] Storyteller (7), 2, 2, 10, 8, 3, 6, 7, Successes : 4 [22:18] !ex 7 [22:18] Storyteller (7), 10, 5, 1, 4, 9, 3, 2, Successes : 3 [22:18] !ex 7 [22:19] the rock and cutting down through him again on the rebound. Then just as the chakram returns bloody with foul icor to her hand the giant boulder impact on his head. [22:19] on average, the dragon blooded host takes 1L [22:19] * Jynaru stares up into the sky, rythmically slamming his right leg into the ground, as greater and greater bursts of fire and essence erupt from it, before leaping up into the air, momentarily eclipsing the ruddy glow of the meteor as he crashes into it, the awesome essence fueled force of the strike knocking it off course as he impacts the ground, sending shards of frozen earth flying as they sprout greenery from the verdant force of [22:19] ok. that's two thrown attacks... and a third.. probably MA?

[23:41] Wait I should see the spell effect [23:41] yae, it was greenish tint before, it's starting to be more gold [23:41] blindfold [23:41] ah true [23:41] go for it... [23:41] Ive seen Cicada cast it before too [23:41] the blindfold shows you that the essence pattern is very bad here, btw. [23:41] it's about to all fall down on you guys if you stay much longer. [23:41] anyhow you can see cicada [23:43] * Cicada staggers away from the Infernal, bruised from his savage blow and coughing up blackish icor in violent hacks. [23:47] * Tala approaches the exalt - the anathema - relatively slowly, watching his essence burn, getting cleaner. Watching Cicada back away. She raises her claws, looking at them, then at the Anathema. She takes a deep breath, and her expression hardens, then she drives her claws into the anathema [23:47] 's throat [23:48] +3 [23:48] !ex 24 (adding conviction, using stunt to get wp back) [23:48] Tala (24), 8, 4, 6, 10, 9, 1, 3, 3, 5, 4, 6, 10, 5, 3, 6, 9, 5, 10, 5, 2, 7, 1, 10, 10, Successes : 29 [23:48] (Whoa.)

[23:51] Correct, Tala. [23:51] it is? [23:51] I suspect that the dice numbers shown are the problem. [23:51] What? [23:51] * Storyteller will have to check later [23:51] ok [23:51] !exm 23 [23:51] Tala (23), 1, 3, 6, 9, 9, 3, 6, 4, 6, 2, 9, 1, 4, 6, 9, 10, 6, 6, 1, 7, 7, 3, 6, Successes : 7 [23:52] and that is one dead dude [23:52] * Jynaru nods to Tala. "Everybody, get the hell out of here, NOW!" [23:52] * Tala releases her held breath as she slowly withdraws her claws from the Anathema's throat [23:53] meanwhile the dice roller is fucked up and the essence waves are shaking the foudations of the infernal wall.. [23:53] * Tala watches the body fall then slowly turns to the others [23:53] "Grap some of the infernal bodies! There is something I must examine!" [23:53] "Yes, run." [23:53] * Jynaru quickly nocks the arrow signifying retreat and sends it into the air, the bright blue explosion clashing against the glowing Essence. [23:53] * Cicada grabs the body of one of the Infernals and drags him along. [23:53] "The essence is becoming very unstable - damaging." [23:53] the strange thing, made of steel and stone begins to move.... growling softly.... like it is alive.... [23:54] * Tei wastes no words and grabs a body and runs. [23:54] * Jynaru snags the body of an infernal and tosses it over his shoulder, helping to drag the body cicada is lugging along as well. (bless uber Str+ath) [23:55] * Tala picks up a pair of still living or not yet dead atleast, dragonblooded, slings them over each shoulder, and starts heading away [23:55] * Vanal stops dead in the middle of the battle, arrows bouncing off the glemaign shell of his strider and looks at the now-writhing wall "What the hell... [23:58] the whirlwind of essence grows and a moaning comes from it, as it flares and begins growing, engulfing the wall... [23:58] the remaining landships begin taking off below you.. mostly populated by the twisted infernal troops... [00:03] anyhow [00:03] lightning explodes from the clear sky into the enemy troops and great balls of fire rain from above... [00:03] * Tabius kills one of the gunners of the landships with FG in a hollow attempt to keep it from firing on Vanals Troops. [00:04] the huge spirit shows it's true form as the clouds turn into rainstorms, raining down water on maris' troops as the storm serpent strides down into the army, destroying everything in it's path... [00:04] "SWEET MELA !" [00:05] * Vanal shouts out to his troops " GET OUT OF ITS WAY !" [00:05] "So the city Solars can use their sorcery unopposed now. That should secure victory. I just hope they remember that we are on their side and that they do not feel the need to backstab us yet!" [00:05] * Tabius tries to percieve if its materialized or not. [00:05] it is most certainly materialzied [00:06] * Tala figures it's probably not within range of her charm [00:06] * Tabius starts calculating range to the thing to see if an FG can reach it and if one would even effect it much. [00:06] "*breath* They're a bit frigging late with the magics... Whaddya want these heavyass bodies for?" [00:06] golems grow out of the ground itself and begin hurling boulders across the pass [00:06] * Maris calls off his people and signals for them to back up. He doesn't want to at all get in teh way of the spells letting the solar's do their thing [00:07] the spells end quickly, and then a spike of essence rises from the western gate..... [00:07] "I found the source of some of the infernal influence on them! But I will have to analyze it more! Duck and run!" [00:07] like a tower of golden light, it falls into the sky... [00:08] * Tei (manxcat@wv-mltn-ubr-c-024-159-089-167.charterwv.net) Quit (Ping timeout) [00:08] in your ears you hear, as a giant bullhorn echoing over the pass, "Push the infernal army up against the wall, and let none of them survive!" [00:10] Maris army pulls back, forming a defensive wall as the solar magic sets to destroying the infernals... [00:10] Meanwhile... [00:10] * Jynaru curses under his breath as he futiley covers his head with an arm. [00:10] * Vanal pulls back with Maris, letting the solars do the rest [00:10] Jynaru, cicada, tabius, tala and tei are on a boat trying to somehow avoid getting crushed by the solar magic and the exploding, living wall [00:11] anyone want to drive? [00:11] What's the ability needed? [00:11] * Tabius tries to drive.

[00:12] Yes [00:12] you have big ballistas and small ballistas [00:12] "Captain! ICEBERG AHEAD!!!" [00:12] an you have essence cannons [00:12] A giant rock looms in front of you! [00:12] it's moving!

[00:13] you kill... 30 of the extras with a single blast of the wide-angled essence gun [00:13] (I hate perception rolls.) [00:13] unfortunately there are still 5,000 more [00:14] anyone else wanna kill stuff? [00:14] * Jynaru activates swallows defend the nest, strip out the cycling circuits, and shoot really damn fast? [00:14] Tabius, you run over countless troops [00:14] * Storyteller can buy that [00:14] suddenly, nets are thrown over the side as they attack! [00:14] Maris and Vanal, the infernal army has nowhere to go but through you [00:14] "Ummm, guuuuuys, I was not joking about the iceberg." [00:14] so they charge your lines [00:15] "STAND FAST !" [00:15] * Jynaru shot the iceberg with the essence cannon. [00:15] "Only about the ice." [00:15] * Maris has his people stop them him at the front. [00:15] * Tabius keeps mowing them down as best as he can avoiding iceburgs. [00:15] * Vanal gets his men in defensive formations mere MOMENTS before the oncomign tide of infernals swarms over them [00:15] roll charisma + presence [00:15] Vanal and Maris [00:16] !ex 7 [00:16] Vanal (7), 9, 5, 10, 10, 10, 3, 8, Successes : 8 [00:16] !ex 16 [00:16] Maris (16), 5, 7, 1, 4, 8, 9, 6, 3, 9, 1, 9, 10, 3, 9, 6, 9, Successes : 9 [00:16] YES ! [00:16] Wow [00:16] ((darn you)) [00:16] [nuch neatness in the ranks :)] [00:16] "Icebergs are the least of our problems!" [00:16] (much neatness) [00:16] You two work together to do the impossible, as you sustain almost no casualties against the rampaginig hordes. [00:17] They impale themselves on your spears until there is nothing but a huge, pile of bodies 8' high and your troops are holding the spears at a 60 degree angle in order ot try to kill the ones crawling over their fallen comrades to get away from the horror... [00:17] * Vanal raises his sword in victory [00:17] "DRACONIS VICTOR !" [00:17] Tabius you turn towards the barbarian army because the massive essence discharges from the wall are getting more violent [00:19] !ex 10 (message arrow) [00:19] Jynaru (10), 8, 8, 6, 9, 10, 7, 6, 3, 6, 2, Successes : 6 [00:19] Does it get to him?

[00:21] * Tabius keeps his distance then while trying to give the others good shots. [00:21] (The new slogan of the Legions: "Least kills buys the beer!" [00:21] * Vanal scowls...cna't have a mucked-up banner... [00:21] "Someone pull that thing out !"

[00:24] * Vanal gestures to his vision-slit [00:24] she grabs onto your leg and starts crawling up the 18' tall mass of orichlum and jade [00:24] * Vanal kneels the mssive strider down [00:25] * Vanal scowls, gently picks her up and brings her level with his head [00:25] She sticks the parchment into the little slot, completely blinding you [00:26] * Vanal pulls the parchment out with his free hand and sets her down [00:26] *Eleanor apes the movement [00:26] she squeals a bit as your massive hand clamps around her but stops when yuo puit her to the ground [00:27] * Vanal reads the parchment [00:27] "VERY FUNNY, JYN ! " [00:27] "Least kills buys the beer! ~Jyn" [00:28] "Poor bastard has NO idea, does he ?" [00:28] of course by now all the solar magic has dissipated... [00:29] (I killed your banner. That's got to count for a couiple hundred, right?) [00:29] (Hardly) [00:29] * Manxcat is now known as Tei [00:29] (Damn.) [00:30] the massive wall explodes in a massive explosion of exploding, as the exploding wall shoots shrapnel into the area, and tabius pilots the boat over the wall of dead bodies, right towards Vanal's kneeling warstrider... [00:30] the wall of dead bodies sink into the ground [00:30] as the magic of the bow transforms the solid land into liquid... [00:31] * Vanal steps the strider aside from the ship [00:31] * Jynaru shoots the essence cannon furiously behind them to clear out the shrapnel and remaining enemies, while waving at Vanal. [00:31] Vanal moves out of the way as the ship plows into maris' barbarian army [00:31] "GET CLEAR !" [00:31] * Maris gets his army out of the god dan way [00:32] "GODDAMNIT ! DON'T KILL OUR TROOPS !" [00:32] "Get that boat off my people damn it!!" [00:32] roll presence + wits Vanal and Maris [00:32] * Cicada begins looking to the wounded aboard.

[00:32] * Tabius tries to turn the ship to run along the battle lines instead of into them. [00:32] Maris gets his men out of the way, but Vanal looses a few of them, as his men try to drag each other out of the water... [00:33] Tabius roll wits + sail [00:33] * Vanal seethes with anger 'who the FUCK is piloting that thing ?!' [00:33] !ex 3 +1 (WP) [00:33] Tabius (3), 10, 7, 9, Successes : 5 [00:33] (LMAO!) [00:34] * Tei has started quietly following cicada and is acting as a nurse with his medicine 3 [00:34] (*Forgot I had 2 extra dice even) [00:34] Tabius turns the ship around in time, as the troops vanal lost are only waist-deep in the ground, and starts driving over the wall of dead bodies, incidentally giving them a proper burial [00:34] "GET THEM OUT OF THERE !" [00:35] the remains of the infernal army are now running around mindlessly, trying to escape through the ruins of the gate [00:36] * Maris has his people keep them from getting out his side. [00:36] * Jynaru picks them off carefully with focused blasts of the essence cannon, marking on a piece of cloth for each one he strikes down. [00:37] Okay you guys going to follow the retreating infernal army to the mountain under which Fallen Tounge sleeps? [00:38] Not yet [00:38] Need to lick our wounds [00:38] Yah [00:38] * Storyteller nods [00:38] Need to rest and recup [00:38] halfway there? [00:38] * Cicada sticks a pair of scissors violently into a DB soldier's leg to halt the artery bleeding, then telling a medic to underbind the wound and prep the soldier for surgery she tirelessly moves on to the next casuality. [00:38] or are you going to hide behind the wall? [00:38] Cicada roll stamina + medicine [00:38] Wall. Don't want to be surrounded. [00:39] * Maris stays where they can defend the easiest [00:39] (stunt? :) [00:39] sure [00:39] allright... you heading back to the wall then. [00:39] sure cicada, +2 [00:40] We'll have a good size force at their side of the path though [00:40] We're not losing any ground [00:40] And how were are losses? [00:40] * Cicada would advise a move forward to new positions, both in order to gain a foothold on the other side of the pass and in order to force the infernal forces to spread out in order to contain us, thus wasting their reserves. [00:40] * Jynaru heads straight for the Solar commanders. He wants answers. [00:40] almost none [00:40] !ex 10 [00:40] Cicada (10), 9, 5, 8, 6, 5, 8, 1, 8, 9, 3, Successes : 5 [00:40] * Storyteller is impressed. Cicada can keep that up all night. [00:40] It's about two hours after dawn [00:41] * Storyteller would estimate Maris' losses around 5% [00:41] my God in heaven [00:41] * Tei begins organizing the funeral pier for all the soldiers of our side who did'nt make it [00:41] that's like...an aw-isnpiring victory [00:41] * Storyteller shrugs... [00:41] if he had rolled 10s consistantly .... [00:41] * Jynaru told you that this would work. [00:41] * Maris is taking the most stategic place to ready for their next attack [00:42] if you guys go behind the wall, you could be bottled in. [00:42] if you stay here, you will probably be safe, and will notice if you are bottled in. [00:42] * Maris whereever the school of Bells tells him is the best place to go in this situation [00:42] If you leave, you can be surrounded. [00:42] "look, we need to dig-in in their turf." [00:42] * Tabius is about to suggest that they destroy the wall with the essence cannons and use the left overs to pile up their own fortificatoin [00:42] the school of bells says to accomplish your goals. [00:42] How sun-tzu [00:43] move forward past the wall, but not enough to where we'll get surrounded. [00:43] * Vanal pulls out his copy of the thousand correct action [00:43] It would probably be best to camp in the mouth of the pass, just out of sight of the wall [00:43] * Maris does that then [00:43] We can't afford to chase them today. Tommorrow, we move. [00:43] post sentries, you can't be flanked [00:43] if you chase them, you'll be exhausted if they send reinforcements. [00:43] If they attack, you can draw back, or hold your position. [00:44] * Maris set's up camp keeps moral high and makes sure the supply trains are still holding. [00:44] "giv eour troops a chance to recover. We're ALL beat." [00:45] Allright... [00:45] so you set up camp in the mouth of the pass... [00:45] * Cicada will advise, if asked, that the infernals are sure to launch a fullstrength counter-attack to drive them back. Because if we get a foothold beyond the pass they will have to stretch out their forces in order to be defensive. And that would lose the infernals the war. Thus the key is to advance beyond the pass, dig in, repel counterattack, and lauch the strategic strike at the cental manse either before or after the counterattack - each ha [00:45] Its advantages. [00:45] just out of sight of the smoldering remains of the infernal wall [00:45] * Maris checks on the Solar's casualties in this [00:45] * Tei leave stragedy to the others and focuses on taking care of the dead [00:46] the laborers start dragging their essence cannons in, and the landships are set to patrol [00:46] Solar's casulaties are around 30-40% [00:46] * Vanal scowls [00:46] * Maris tries not to smirk about that if the Solar general comes around [00:46] "I can't WAIT to get out of this oversized tin can." [00:46] well they were mainly a diversion. Can't be perfect. :) [00:46] And the final casualties for the surgical strike group? [00:46] The solars will arrive and set up camp soon. [00:47] * Storyteller considers. [00:47] * Tabius likes the landships and wont mind driving it around on patrol after picking up his 7 little friends. [00:47] 37% [00:47] * Tei remarks to no one in particular "The pyre will be seen for miles I suppose if we do everyone. Perhaps burn them in shifts to minimize the smoke and chance of the fire spreading." [00:47] * Cicada will take a pause from overseeing the construction of the advance field hospital to puul Jynaru aside if she sees him, Tei if she does not meet with Jynaru. [00:47] * Jynaru 'll go around and check on those remaining while he waits for the Solar general to get off his ass and let me kick it for lacking the timed spells. [00:48] * Tei is among the dead [00:48] lol [00:48] .... [00:48] [hopefully not! :)] [00:48] Now that's an out of context quote. [00:49] * Maris plays general and leaves it at whatever it is that good general's do [00:50] PAR-tay [00:50] * Tei will expand and say that he labores among the dead having stolen whatever manpower he can to pile up the bodies and gather the wood and oil neccesary to give them a proper sendoff [00:50] Victory party ? [00:50] always victory party. [00:50] So, who buys the beer? [00:50] "Jynaru, I have to talk with you." [00:50] Evne if you lose, you don't buy [00:51] Vanal [00:51] Remembe,r Vanal doens't drink [00:51] er [00:51] no :) [00:51] Personally? [00:51] * Storyteller considers [00:51] Jynaru killed what, two solars? [00:51] "Yes? What is it?" [00:51] And the essence cannoning. [00:51] with hyper-speed shooting and the deathmaking. [00:51] * Storyteller will leave it up to you guys, but Vanal probably killed more people [00:52] if you count his troops killing [00:52] He cna buy me some fruit juice and we'll call it even... [00:52] * Jynaru doesn't count troops. personal killing. [00:52] I was whackign entire fangs at a time... [00:52] so was jyn [00:52] "Jynaru, you can likely guess the Solars know I am a Dragon Blooded, now. With all of my sorcery and charms going on." [00:52] point [00:53] but I was doing it for longer [00:53] yeap [00:53] "If I ever go back to them, they will abort my child and force me to leave Sanyet..." [00:53] * Storyteller suspects tabius will have won the killing deparment. [00:53] "True. And you're worried about the whole childbirth thing... yeah. That." [00:53] *SNARL* [00:53] plus he buried all those bodies! no hungry ghosts. [00:54] "I want a meeting of our entire group, if you can arrange it. I must confess what I did and try, at least try, to win a new shelter for me and my family." [00:54] * Jynaru shrugs. "Can't see why they would. Do they know specifically that the child is Sanyets? It could be anyone's, as far as they're concerned..." [00:54] * Tabius can't believe that he likely won some kind of contest that he didn't even know about. [00:55] * Jynaru nods. "I'll see if I can gather them all up. Got a specific time in mind?" [00:55] "As soon as you can make it, please." [00:56] * Cicada rubs her hands nervously on her massively bloodstained apron. [00:56] "Where?" [00:56] "I don't think that the field hospital has the best ambiance for this sort of thing." [00:57] "Anywhere is good. But it should best be in private. Don't need the Solars sending assassins after me or Sanyet." [00:58] * Jynaru grabs a messenger, flashes his rank badge at him, and tells him to get others and tell the rest of the DBs (with descriptions and names) to meet him at a specific secured area as soon as possible, and to let their underlings handle this stuff. [00:59] * Cicada is called back to the aid station by the calls of a nurse and the pained screams of a wounded soldirer as be begins trashing about in panic. "I will be there right after this." she calls as she runs off. [01:00] The barbarian nods and runs off to collect the group [01:00] * Maris will do so after he's got his underlings started on their job wondering what the hell Jynaru wants with him. [01:00] * Tei is still stacking bodies like cord-wood [01:00] * Jynaru shakes his head sadly, contemplating the horrors he's going to inflict on the complete and utter moron who failed to get the timing correct. [01:00] * Tala is helping move wounded [01:02] * Vanal is checking on his troops' morale, casualities, tha tkinda thing [01:02] * Vanal is also out of his strider and smoking like a chimney [01:02] * Maris heads over as soon as he can leave his underlings to do most of the work. [01:03] * Tei will leave some underlings in charge of the dead and head over to whatever meeting is being planned [01:03] * Tala joins the meeting [01:04] Meanwhile, some of the surviving dragon blooded have been wandering around setting up mystical tents for everyone, completely with baths and guest bedrooms and good food. [01:04] The sorcery is impressive to watch and takes about 30 minutes each [01:04] * Tabius doesn't really know how anybody is going to get a message to him if he is piloting a patroling landship [01:04] * Cicada will find Tabius after she finally leaves another healer in charge of her part of the hospital, but she goes to find Tabius before heading to the meeting. [01:04] * Maris goes wherever he needs to go for the meeting and makes sure it's secure [01:05] It is decorated with unadorned hanging white tapestries and has a plesant smell [01:05] * Jynaru shrugs. Message arrow. Meeting in one of the tents, I suppose. [01:05] or you can go in a makeshift fort built by hand [01:05] and out of wood. [01:06] * Maris uses his tent. [01:06] Pleasant smell is better than dead bodies everywhere. [01:06] * Cicada is guided to Tabius ship and meets him there by effortlessly leaping aboard. [01:06] * Maris prefers that to the Dragon Blooded's spell places. [01:06] Plus he can lead his folk while he waits for the others to come [01:06] "Tabius, there is going to be a meeting of the circle. Your presence is requested." [01:07] hm, boat works too [01:07] * Storyteller guesses maris' tent is ok too [01:07] * Tabius turns around half way, "Oh good, I always look forward to those." about as sarcasticly as can be imagined. [01:08] "It might not be very pleasant, my teacher. It will be about judging me for treason..." [01:08] * Cicada looks down. [01:08] "Then lets hold it somewhere exceptionaly private, aboard this vessel perhaps? [01:09] "I believe Maris has already set up his tent for the purpose." [01:09] "Tabius, before you go there is something I must tell you..." [01:10] "What, that you are with child, have betrayed the Realm, and have married and Anethema?" [01:11] "I am with child. It isSanyet's daughter. I do not know when I will be able to express to you the love I feel for you in the way you want." [01:11] * Cicada nods shamefully. "I wanted to tell you before. But couldn't." [01:11] * Tabius lets the ship come to a stop, stands, "I knew before, but didn't tell you I did." [01:12] "You have made your decision for the forseable future, both of us must live with it." [01:12] "Tabius, in the judgement to come. I ask you to be just as Realm law demands you to be, so that there can be voiced no accusations against you later." [01:13] "The frell with the rest of them and any possible accusations. We are at war and need every able bodied DB [01:13] "That we can field, your efforts today alone are worthy of a pardon." [01:13] * Cicada nods. Then turns to leave. [01:13] "Yes, Tabius. Thank you." [01:14] * Cicada leaps off the side of the ship and makes for Maris tent. [01:14] * Tabius remands the ship to an able bodied somebody and takes his elite guard and leaves for the tent. [01:15] * Cicada surrenders all of her weapons and equipment to Vanal or Jynaru as she enter and then kneel in the middle before everyone else. [01:15] [everyone there?] [01:15] * Jynaru sets the large stack of weaponry to the side and claims his seat. [01:16] * Vanal is lounging in a chair, puffing away at a cigarette, looking quite exhausted [01:16] * Maris sits in his chair slouched and waiting to hear some sort of reason why he shouldn't kill her now. [01:16] * Tei is standing near the tent's entrance hands folded in his sleeves [01:16] * Tala waits silently [01:16] "Before we start this, let me say we all did amazingly well today. Casualties were light, good setup for the next advance. Now for the other reason we're here. Cicada?" [01:17] * Cicada looks nervously up at the faces around her. [01:17] * Tabius enters in clothing that looks like it burns as he moves, a sour expression on his face, leaving the minions outside. [01:17] * Cicada nods. [01:18] "I am here to be judged by Realm law for the crimes of betraying the Realm and its interests, of aiding Anathema, and for spionage for said Anathema forces." [01:19] "How did you betray the interests of the Realm?" [01:19] * Vanal mutters "tell us something we *don't* know" [01:20] "I pledge to fully coorporate with this improvised court and answer all question put to me truthfully to the limit of my ability and to obey and suffer any punishment sentenced to me." [01:20] "Well get off the martyr trip and tell us what you did." [01:21] "I looked to my own happiness with a man i met in the Solar kingdoms and thus took the side of that kingdom against the Realm on several key issues." [01:21] "oh for the love of....!" [01:21] ] /me turns to leave and calls over his shoulders "I vote we forget this non-sense and get on with the bussiness of destroying the demon." [01:21] * Tei continues muttering as he walks away "Treason my left toe." [01:21] * Jynaru shrugs. "Which issues?" [01:22] "Including passing on vital information to the Solar rules in order to arm them against any aggression from the side of Maris new kingdom." [01:22] * Vanal growls, the sound low in his throat [01:23] "In short, i have given them most of the strategic information on this kingdom you build." [01:23] * Tei goes on with the bussiness of caring for the dead. who do not call idiotic conferances in the middle of a war and seem so much more senseible than his fellow living [01:23] * Cicada sees Tei leave and is a bit saddned, she would have liked a single supportive face. [01:24] "With all due respect, can we settle this *AFTER* the campaign ?!" [01:24] "Can't we just kill her now?" [01:24] * Maris says annoyed [01:24] "She wanted it done now. I agree. Leaving this issue to fester can help no-one. As for killing, we're not nearly done yet, Maris. So would you please shut the hell up?" [01:24] "So what you are saying is basically this. You figured you stood your best chance to get what you wanted if you helped the Anathema win, doublecross us, and kill us." [01:25] "NO! Not kill you! Get you back to the Blessed Isle!" [01:25] "However, now that you think they will kill you and or your lover, you want to fall on our mercy?" Tala says matter of factly [01:25] "Get us back to the Blessed sle, by telling them EVERYTHING ABOUT US ?!" [01:26] "I will not be killed. My 'lover' will in a few years. I will just be seperated from him." [01:27] * Vanal grinds out his cigarette in an ashtray next to him [01:27] * Vanal scowls and rummages for another [01:27] "I am thinking along the same lines as Vanal, exactly how does disclosure of sensitive information [01:27] "Get us back to the Isle. [01:27] "Yes, to secure peace on this island by making sure your kingdom would never be a threat, and by making the Anathema send you home in 'appreciation' of my service to them." [01:27] "So instead, you give them the information they could use to butcher ever ylast man, woman, and child ?" [01:27] "What measures did you take to make sure the deal was secure, and would not be ignored?" [01:28] "In any case, you betrayed us because you felt it was in your own selfish best interest, and now that things have changed you are hoping that by confessing we will forget that you cannot be trusted and will always take the path that you feel will get you what you desire?" [01:28] "Well besides finding out the fact that the Solar were loosing their war and couldn't exactly come after them? [01:28] "Yes, I know that now. After having seen their minds for myself. Everyone of them is mad beyond even my skills of healing." [01:28] "WHY THE FUCK DID YOU TRUST THEM IN THE FIRST PLACE ?!" [01:28] "Not much more than my hopes, Jynaru." [01:29] "Good question Vanal." [01:29] * Jynaru shakes his head. "Foolish. Please, answer Vanal's question." [01:29] "Because they rule a kingdom that is more wellordered and with less oppression than the Realm. I saw that with my own eyes. Only lately have I seen the true nature of the rulers." [01:30] * Maris shakes his head and laughs. [01:30] * Jynaru winces. [01:30] "And that gave you the right to play God with the lives of every man, woman and child in the ribes ?" [01:30] "Their kingdom is enternally on the brink of selfdestruction because of the madness of the ruler. Left alone with no war to fight, they would likely fall upon each other." [01:31] "Not before eliminatign the first outside threat." [01:31] "Namely, the tribes." [01:31] * Cicada nods. [01:31] "Bravo, you've killed thousands of people." [01:31] * Vanal applauds softly [01:31] "If there was no big war, the tribes would be hardly a threat to them with the forces they keep here. [01:32] "So in essence you used information that could not be acted on, to get an in with lunatics so that [01:32] "Everybody could be united to take the war to the mountain and Tongue?" [01:32] * Vanal rolls his eyes [01:32] "That was my plan, Tabius." [01:33] "When seen from a very positive perspective." [01:33] "And when did this unfortunate plan of yours take shape?" [01:33] * The_Irrelevant_One (The_Irrele@24-117-14-80.cpe.cableone.net) has joined #pvpexaltedrp [01:33] "Next question: By what means are the tribespeople considered of the Realm?" [01:34] * Looking up The_Irrelevant_One user info... [01:34] "They aren't." [01:34] * Looking up Tei user info... [01:34] "Sad to say." [01:34] * Looking up The_Irrelevant_One user info... [01:34] "How has anything you've done at all helped this plan you have Cicada? Really? As far as I know all you've really done is betrayed the Tribes and us. The Tribes are under our protection." [01:34] "Then how can treason against Maris's empire be treason against the Realm?" [01:34] "My love for a mortal boy in their kingdom made me desperate. I came up with this plan as part of an attempt to see peace for both his and this kingdom." [01:34] "We have responsibilllty to them." [01:35] "YOU have responsibility. VANAL has responsibility." [01:35] "Where is the sheet of paper that lists you as the satrap for this area?" [01:35] "And I accept that responsability, doens't mean i think they're Realm citizens." [01:36] "On the flip-side, I DO care what happens to these people." [01:36] * The_Irrelevant_One (The_Irrele@24-117-14-80.cpe.cableone.net) has left #pvpexaltedrp [01:36] "There is no treason against the Realm here. Only individuals. The next crime is that of working with the Anathema. Raise your hand, who here is fighting in this war?" [01:36] * Jynaru raises a hand. [01:36] * Maris shakes his head [01:37] "You've made your point Ledaal, doens't mean I'm not pissed as hell." [01:37] * Tabius knows where this is going, raises his hand. [01:37] "Because, let us be honest, we're all working with the Anathema on this." [01:37] "So do I. And I personally believe that my espionage did little more than confirm things the Anathema already knew. This entire island is infested with their spies, both natural and occult." [01:38] "A moot point. She betrayed us. She betrayed as well the Tribes. It's not what she said. It's not who she said it too. It's the Betrayal that matters." [01:38] * Cicada nods. [01:38] * Tei continues stacking bodies and readying fuel. the first of the pyres should be lit soon. [01:38] "Maris, who is Shel Stormwind?" [01:38] "I agree with Maris...." [01:38] "I work with the anathema but I don't trust them over my fellow bloodeds." [01:39] "Shel Stormwind is the woman you betrayed us all to Red Bloom for." [01:39] "Did we put you in court and try you for that?" [01:39] * Tei wonders idly where the hell there preists are. I am burrying *their* dead [01:39] "foir the record, Cic put herself on trial here." [01:40] Tei: They just tilling the bodies under the ground. [01:40] * Maris looks at Jynaru, "You know as well as I that Bloom fucked up my mind to do it. NOone'stouched Cicada's mind but herself. She did it of her own damn freewill." [01:40] * Vanal pinches the bridge of his nose, his dehydration headache is gettign worse [01:40] Except for the bodies of their people. Those get sent home. [01:40] "Quite true. What I'm doing is looking at the precedent set by Maris. Was Maris punished for his crimes?" [01:40] "I think there were more pressing matters than putting Maris on trial, and I am begging to feel the same way as Tei in this matter. [01:40] "He wasn't as far as I can tell, and am willing to apply the same ruling to Cicada. Unless perhaps Maris wants to be executed for treason as well?" [01:41] Tei: There are a few morticians but they just use some preservation artifact, apparently... [01:41] "well, I could give them both a slug for each one of us they betrayed ?" [01:41] * Maris looks at Jynaru and shakes his head, "That is absulutely horrible logic." [01:41] * Vanal says, rather testily [01:41] "Oh, yeah that will be great, take out half the leadership of the tribes we need to defeat Tongue as well as our ablest scout. [01:42] * Tei is helping them then, and only burning those that they don't pay attention too [01:42] "And only other sorcerer in our little group." [01:42] * Vanal rubs his temple [01:42] "Bad logic? Like the bit you displayed when you suggested killing such a resource? You're no more important to the group than she is, so don't be holding yourself higher up, Maris." [01:42] * Vanal does NOT want to be in this bloody tent [01:43] "What I am suggesting is that we drop this matter, get back to accomplishing business, and deal with the frigging demon." [01:43] * Maris shakes his head, "Whatever. Don't kill her. I don't trust her. I don't want her near me. And I'm not lifting a finger for her." [01:43] "Hear Hear!" [01:43] * Tala just stands there, arms crossed [01:43] "Tala, whats your impressions?" [01:43] "whatever...I just want to get on with things." [01:43] * Jynaru shrugs. "That's fine. I'm simply suggesting giving her the same chance we gave you, Maris." [01:44] "That this should be dealt with later, however Cicada's willful betrayal should not go unpunished, when the time to deal with it comes." [01:44] * Maris looks at her and clenches his teeth. [01:45] * Cicada looks around again. [01:45] "There was no betrayal of the Realm, it's interests, and we cannot correctly cite her for working with the Anathema. Everything else is personal, and shall be dealt with as such." [01:45] "She has acted with utter selfishness, switching sides as the wind changes, to see to her own needs." [01:46] * Tala shakes her head. [01:46] "You swore you wouldn't do this shit to me Cicada. I talked with you and you swore it to me. Then you fucking went and betrayed me to the god damn anathema. What in the hell possesed you to do that?" [01:46] "She betrayed Us." [01:46] * Maris says to Cicada annoyed. [01:46] "Don [01:47] "Don't feel to bad Maris, your not the only one she has broken promises to." [01:47] * Cicada 's eyes narrwo. "I never swore anything, but to follow your orders Cynis Maris. I swore loyalty, to Tabius, Tei, and Sanyet. You will not get away with twisting my words in a court." [01:47] "Like hell we're a court." [01:47] "We're as close to one as can be convened." [01:48] "Enough of this. This is not the time for it, and right now there is no outcome that will not hinder our efforts against the demon less than they will already be now that we have started this." [01:48] "Fuck your words. You knew what I was asking. You delibrately twisted the words in your head to make them what you wanted while you knew what I was asking." [01:48] * Vanal stands up [01:48] "Why would you do that Cicada?" [01:48] "I want a clear judgement. So that I know if I have support for my operations together with you in the future." [01:48] "Maris, I suggest you calm down. This is not an arena fight." [01:49] "I've got an army to chekc up on, and I don't have the goddamned time to listen to you people argue." [01:49] * Jynaru waves to Vanal. "I guess I owe you a beer, then?" [01:49] * Vanal shakes his head "Fruit juice, man." [01:49] "This can wait till later. Just assume that you don't have support from Maris, or whomever, and work from there. [01:49] "So you are going to leave it like this? With nothing decided..?" [01:50] * Vanal DOES give Cic and icy glare as he walks out, however [01:50] * Vanal stops dead [01:50] * Tabius looks at Vanal. [01:50] * Jynaru shrugs. "Tei voted to dismiss." [01:50] * Tala looks at Cicada [01:51] "I assume Tabius is voting to dismiss." [01:51] "That leaves Vanal, Tala, and Maris. Get this done now. Vote. [01:51] "I showed my blooded nature on purpose today in order to prove to you that I do not intend to ever work with the Anathema again..." [01:51] "A deferment I would guess, or dismissal if it has to be decided now." [01:52] "If this was the legions, I'd have her flogged and be done with it. But it's not." [01:52] "Vote for flogging." [01:52] "Tala, Maris?" [01:53] "Will you betray me again Cicada if it suits your interest?" [01:53] * Maris asks looking at her [01:53] "No, much as i hate it... and you... I need you and your help." [01:54] "A clear judgement regarding your future? As you wish. You betrayed us. We could all be trapped here, and or die because of it. All so that you could live here in happiness. Should we leave this island, I vote that the punishment for your betrayal be to remain here with your husband and your child as you wished." [01:54] * Vanal is jugglign his copy of the thousand correct actions from hand to hand [01:54] * Tabius is half tempted to ask for an Eclipse Solar. [01:54] "When we leave this place? When you don't need me anymore? Will you betray me then?" [01:54] "Tala with the banishment." [01:55] "No. It would endager Sanyet and many others. I will not. [01:55] * Vanal ponders [01:56] "Would you stop blaming me for whatever it is you hate about Cynis and put it in the goddamn past?" [01:56] "Isn't there soem kidn fo spell or something that binds the members of a group together, so that they CANNOT wilfully betray one another ?" [01:56] "I will try... but... I will try." [01:56] "Cicada you demanded a judgement from us. You do not get to turn around and say 'no i don't want that'." [01:56] * Maris looks at her, "Is there?" [01:56] about the spell [01:57] "Kind of" [01:57] "I'm damned if I can remember the name, though." [01:57] "We'll do the spell then." [01:57] * Vanal is muttered mental curses [01:57] "I trust you all enough and respect your interests enough." [01:57] "Brotherhood? You're suggesting a sworn brotherhood?" [01:58] "Does this mean I am accquitted.. or something like that...? (stammering) [01:58] "And it will help keep this bullshit from happening [01:58] "Flogging won't work. I'd have to flog Maris, too." [01:59] "And, as much as I find the idea of being in a sworn brotherhood with *him* distasteful *points to Tabs*, it's the only way we're going to trust one another." [01:59] "Acquitted. Not enough votes to decide a punishment. Now get back to work, and I swear, if you EVER waste my time like this again, I will kill you." [01:59] "Yes a Sworn Brotherhood is the spell." [01:59] * Maris looks at Cicada and thinks about it, "I'm sick of this bullshit. Get someone to cast the spell." [01:59] * Tala takes a deep breath and lets it out slowly, eyes closed [01:59] * Jynaru gestures at the clothing. "Sworn brotherhood takes time and someone who knows it. Tabius?" [02:00] "Thank you. Thank you everyone. This means that both Sanyet and I will suffer no more. I promise I will make it up to you all.... And consult you firts when I get 'bright ideas' again." [02:00] "I've got to deal with something before we do it though. A mistake needs to be dealt with." [02:00] "Look, we're together for the campaign. How'sabout we finish the cmapaign, then go with the spell-whammie if it takes time." [02:00] (Clothing, equipment, whatever General get you stuff and get back to work.) [02:01] * Cicada stands up shakenly and unbalanced. [02:01] "Don't look for Sanyet Cicada. Don't get him near him untill I ok it. You will not like it if you do." [02:01] She turns and starts walking out of the tent. "This was a waste of time. I withdraw my vote and abstain. I will go with what the group. As Cicada shifts her directions like the wind, so will I go with the flow of the tide, like water." [02:01] * Cicada looks at Maris. [02:01] * Maris looks at the others and shakes his head, "Now I have to go find the bastard." [02:01] "Maris... tell me you didn't just say that." [02:01] "What is wrong with Sanyet? Is he sick? Jynaru promised me that none of you would hurt him if I did this!" [02:02] "I did just say that. Like I said a mistake. I'll fix it." [02:02] "Tell me you did NOT go behind my back." [02:02] "He is not hurt." [02:02] "I'm not going after someone who didn't do anything, relax Cicada. I'm an ass, not a nutcase." [02:02] !Maris, what is wrong with my husband?!" [02:02] * Vanal blinks "What did you do with him, Maris ?" [02:03] * Vanal (~ltermac@HSE-QuebecCity-ppp3498618.sympatico.ca) Quit (Connection reset by peer) [02:04] * Maris smiles at them, "A bad thing. You should be glad I'm doing this spell with you all. In fact you should probally find a dragon blood out there and have it cast immediately." [02:04] "Now I'm going to fix it." [02:04] "Anyone want to yell at me and keep me from doing that?" [02:05] "Fix it. Now." [02:05] "Maris, what did you do to sanyet?! And where is he?!" [02:05] "And I am coming with you." [02:05] "He's out there. He decided to fight with his father. I've still got to find him." [02:06] "And like I said you don't want to do that." [02:06] "No, I'm afraid you're not, Cicada." [02:06] "I'll go with him, just cause well I have a morbid couriosity about whats going on." [02:06] "We don't need any accidents. You can trust Tabius, can't you?" [02:07] * Cicada nods unwillingly, never taking her eyes off Maris. [02:07] * Maris shrugs, "That's fine with me. As long as cicada doesn't come it should be fine." [02:07] "It's settled. Get your ass moving. Maybe later you can explain why you sent me out to lie for you, Maris." [02:07] * Tei guesses they might run into him as he toils among the sensible dead [02:07] * Maris heads off from the camp going outside and yelling out, "Dreams! Get over here!" [02:08] ((Dances even)) [02:08] * Tabius motions his 7 to follow. [02:08] * Jynaru drums his fingers on the seat and watches Cicada. "Not quite what you expected?" [02:09] * Maris says as soon as he's over, "I need to find Sanyet. The man I had you watch. Can you help me?" [02:09] * Cicada looks sick with worry. "No. Both much better and much worse." [02:09] * Maris then has his tribesmen go out and help him find the poor bastard as well [02:09] "This all better work out for the best and Sanyet be well, or else you will have to kill me for betraying you all to the Anathema." [02:10] * Jynaru shrugs. [02:10] have the others seen your seven tabius? [02:10] "That makes two reasons I'd have to kill you. He'll be well." [02:10] "Believe me, I was totally unaware Maris did anything." [02:10] * Storyteller remembers they had ok [02:10] (*Everybody should be able to see them. Its not like there is much to see under all the armor and helmets and such. [02:10] * Cicada looks up at Jynaru, looking a little perplexed. "And the first reason is?" [02:11] (*BTW, 4 in appearance ;-) they are a pretty lot) [02:11] "Remember, the whole "Sanyet cares about Cicada to much, eliminate her and he'll train beter" bit you set off with the running away?" [02:11] * Cicada glares at Jynaru. "I will see if he is safe first. Then decide on your excuses." [02:11] Dreams will lead Maris to Sanyet [02:12] It's Dances with Sun and Bears [02:12] * Tabius follows and the seven follow him in a roughly guarding formation. [02:12] "Sorry, Jynaru... that came out all wrong after what you just did for Sanyet and I. Thank you again." [02:12] * Maris heads over, "Sanyet how have you faired?" [02:12] You find him sitting on a bucket, still in his gore-covered armor, and holding a elaborate bloody sword [02:12] * Maris goes to a knee on his side. [02:13] He looks up at you for a moment then looks back down [02:13] "Your father?" [02:13] * Maris says compasionately. [02:13] * Tabius just stands there at parade rest and listens. [02:13] "No.. he is fine." he sighs [02:13] * Jynaru shrugs. "Just continue to fight well, and please, don't name the kid something with an 'S' sound. I'm starting to lisp the rest of the time from the damn names." [02:13] "everything.. is fine." [02:13] "I need to talk to you." [02:13] "About Cicada." [02:14] "You know I'll listen, Maris." [02:14] * Cicada chuckles for a second, then goes back to brooding. [02:14] his fist crushes onto the hilt of his sword [02:14] "I know what i told you. I know what we talked about." [02:14] He listens silently [02:15] * Tei wanders back in about this time, smeared in blood and the stanch of the dead and burning flesh. "So did the "trial" go well?" [02:15] "She was acquitted." [02:16] [3:16] [02:16] "But I was wrong. I want you to know that. I want you to forget out talks and remember her as before we began talking. Can you forget that?" [02:16] ((I have no idea if I can actually command them to forget things)) [02:16] * Jynaru coughs. "Please, step outside, man. The fumes." [02:16] ((Hope I can)) [02:16] "Ah, I had hoped for as much. But to be honest I was'nt too hopefull. if you know what I mean?" [02:16] our talks even [02:16] "What? How can I forget that?" [02:17] "I do indeed. Waiting on Maris to clean up one of his mistakes...." [02:17] ((roll presence + manipulation)) [02:17] ((have to beat your own 11 successes)) [02:17] (*HOLY COW*) [02:17] ((damn. Can't use my presence charm can I?)) [02:17] ((the one that doubles teh pool?)) [02:17] (Burn WP and use that charm, boy.) [02:17] * Dalamar (Raistlin@12-240-149-195.client.attbi.com) has joined #pvpexaltedrp [02:17] * Storyteller supposes you can try [02:18] (*Remember that your stats are upped by 2 max 5 :-)*) [02:18] (Cicada would unfortunately be beat up, tortured and raped if she tried to get close enough to use her Medicine charms to assist Maris.) [02:18] ((mine aren't)) [02:18] (*At least for another hour or so*) [02:18] ((I wasn't with you)) [02:18] [speaking to cicada]"If I may be so bold, it was rather stupid of you to voluntary turn you're self over to the "mercy" of our companions." [02:18] (*DOH, thought all us were?*) [02:18] ((And I'll use em then and spend a wil for an auto.)) [02:18] (I know. Fortunately) [02:19] !ex 20 [02:19] Maris (20), 3, 1, 3, 9, 5, 8, 1, 2, 2, 9, 10, 3, 1, 1, 5, 7, 10, 10, 1, 6, Successes : 10 [02:19] ((damn it. I tied.)) [02:19] Sanyet remains unconvinced, and still believes cicada is evil. [02:19] "But.... I still lover her. But no!" [02:19] * Cicada nods. "Yes, but I saw no other alternative. Had nowhere else to turn. Sanyet and I cannot live on a Fireshark's rock." [02:19] (*DAMN that was close*) [02:20] (*hold on, you use a will for an auto success, so you got 11 success's, does that do it?) [02:20] (he didn't use a will for auto sux, did he?) [02:20] (ah he did) [02:21] (then yes he got 11 sux) [02:21] ((So I did it?)) [02:21] (I'd think that tying would allow you to cancel out.) [02:21] sanyet finds something to cry on [02:21] (yea you got 11 sux) [02:21] (so you didn't get any extra successes [02:21] "Tei... (looks up at him) What do you think? Do you hate me now?" [02:21] * Maris spends the next few hours trying to fix anything he's done to Sanyet as best he can. [02:22] * Tei says almost as a father to daughter "You should know me better than that." [02:22] roll intelligence + medicine [02:22] [maris] [02:22] !ex 3 with a will. No medicine [02:22] Maris (3), 10, 1, 6, Successes : 2 [02:24] ok [02:24] Sanyet is a sucker for love. [02:24] * Maris will bring him back to Cicada then with Tabius. [02:24] spell ended tabius [02:25] Sanyet reluctantly goes back with Maris to see Cicada [02:25] (*OK, tabs feels a lot less buff :-( [02:26] luna has set, and a bloody, beat up sanyet walks into the tent [02:26] * Tabius follows Maris the whole time just to see what he did. [02:27] * Maris should have gotten Sanyet a shower. [02:27] "Maris, please tell me that the blood isn't your fault." [02:27] "You get bloody when you fight a war. He hasn't had time to clean up." [02:27] Sanyet looks at Cicada reluctantly, but seems more comfortable holding the sword in his hand [02:27] "And the 'Mistake'?" [02:28] "Seems to be fixed, mostly." [02:28] * Tala is now known as Werlynn [02:28] * Cicada gets up and walks to Sanyet, looking at him. [02:29] "What happened..? What did he do to you?" [02:29] Sanyet tenses as he looks at cicada, then at maris, then at cicada again... [02:29] "It.. hE... nothing, Cicada. Nothing... at all..." [02:30] * Cicada glares over at maris.

[02:32] "You don't want to know. It's over anyways. Everything I have done has been undone." [02:32] "Calm, Cicada. Don't ruin this." [02:32] "You have your Sanyet back alive and well." [02:32] "Mostly" [02:33] "Now I have an army to deal with. Sanyet, Try to enjoy yourself as best you can. And be your own person." [02:33] Sanyet nods almost mechnically to Maris [02:34] He then tries to smile but, exhausted, slumps into a chair. [02:34] * Cicada reaches out to take sanyet's hands, tries to get close to him, desperately afraid of what has happened. [02:35] * Maris thinks about something of the stories they've told about what he does and remembers some things he could do to break it. He shakes his head figuring that's to harsh a way." [02:35] * Maris heads out to start making his army well again. [02:35] Sanyet reluctantly holds Cicada closer to himself [02:35] * Jynaru watches carefully to make sure Cicada doesn't snap and go after Maris. [02:36] * Cicada is a little too busy holding Sanyet to go around killing Dynasts right now. Maybe tomorrow. [02:37] * Jynaru stands up and turns to go. "Just remember, Cicada. This ends it. I want no vendetta, you understand?" [02:37] "No, I don't understand. But I don't want anything to happen to Sanyet or me." [02:38] "And Jynaru... please leave." [02:38] * Jynaru laughs as he leaves. "Yeah, sure. Take good care of him." [02:38] "And don't worry. Thank you again, Jynaru." [02:38] * Tabius leaves with Maris and goes and finds a good place to sleep and rest.
