Session Start: Sat Nov 30 20:49:33 2002 Session Ident: #pvpexaltedrp [20:49] * Now talking in #pvpexaltedrp [20:49] * Jynaru (Fiat@dsc01-ati-ga-4-111.rasserver.net) has joined #pvpexaltedrp [20:50] * ChanServ sets mode: +ntr [20:50] * Vanal (~ltermac@HSE-QuebecCity-ppp3496793.sympatico.ca) has joined #pvpexaltedrp [20:50] * Jydan (Jydan@dia-195.vaix.net) has joined #pvpexaltedrp [20:51] * Werlynn (~Werlynn@ool-182ded4e.dyn.optonline.net) has joined #pvpexaltedrp [20:52] * Cicada (Hikari@zaqd378a694.zaq.ne.jp) has joined #pvpexaltedrp [20:52] * Storyteller changes topic to 'Exalted: The Dragon Blooded Primary. Player chat only. Today's theme: The breaking of the fellowship.' [20:56] * Werlynn is now known as Werlynn_AFK [20:57] * manxcat (manxcat@wv-mltn-ubr-c-024-159-089-167.charterwv.net) has joined #pvpexaltedrp [20:59] * Tabius (~web-Guest@cm205.221.120.24.lvcm.com) has joined #pvpexaltedrp [21:00] * Werlynn_AFK is now known as Werlynn [21:00] alllllrighty [21:00] * manxcat is now known as Tei [21:00] we're all here then [21:00] Maris won't be here though [21:00] * Werlynn is now known as Tala [21:00] Here's the scene: You've all returned to the main camp [21:01] you've had a nights sleep, and it's the next day [21:01] "Remind me never to go hunting EVER AGAIN" [21:01] You are eating breakfast at the table on the gazeebo [21:02] * Tala would be avoiding them..... [21:02] this is mind you right after you get back from the ship; none of the downtime events have occured yet [21:02] Tala what are you doing then? [21:02] oh [21:03] * Vanal is unconcious, then [21:03] * Vanal drools a bit [21:03] * Jynaru likely spent the night nearby guarding the shaman then. [21:04] * Tabius would have healed Vanal by 3 once the essence was restored from healing Maris. [21:04] (no healing !) [21:04] * Cicada fortunately got a lot of training in feeding unconsious people lately. But it would be better if sorcerous healing could be applied. [21:04] I wouldn't have even gone back to the camp with them. Remember, she believes most of the group is under Mr unClean's control. The rest she isn't sure of [21:04] ok [21:04] (I'm saving THAT event for later) [21:04] * Tei had a haircut and is wearing his robes now [21:05] (*Thought that it would be OK, once we got back :-) [21:05] (*Sorry) [21:05] any food you want feel free to improvise [21:05] * Cicada has secretly packed the dress and accessories away very carefully. As much of the other stuff she can get too. [21:05] * Jynaru looks around to note any of the natives nearby. [21:06] !ex 3 [21:06] Tala : !ex 3, 7, 8, 5, Successes : 2 [21:06] good point.

[21:09] (Jynaru, that is cheating..) [21:09] What? [21:09] I'm just letting the good mojo of the G rub off on me. [21:09] (exg) [21:09] Hmm... [21:09] See?

Maybe you should use exb instead, Tala. [21:10] !ex 10 [21:10] Jynaru : !ex 10, 5, 5, 6, 7, 1, 4, 6, 3, 4, 1, Successes : 1 [21:10] !exb 10 [21:10] Tala : !exb 10, 4, 2, 5, 4, 1, 1, 4, 3, 6, 4, Botch, Successes : 0 [21:10] !exb 10 [21:10] Tala : !exb 10, 4, 5, 3, 4, 3, 3, 5, 1, 2, 5, Botch, Successes : 0 [21:10] * Jynaru shrugs. Apparently the mojo doesn't rub off for long. [21:11] I don't think i will [21:11] Awwww... [21:11] try now [21:11] exg or exb or normal? [21:11] normal [21:11] !ex 10 [21:11] !ex 10 [21:11] now [21:11] It's dead, jim! [21:12] !ex 10 [21:12] !ex 10 [21:12] * Jynaru killed the dice.... [21:12] now [21:12] !ex 10 [21:12] Tala : !ex 10, 9, 5, 7, 1, 5, 2, 10, 2, 1, 3, Successes : 4 [21:12] !ex 10 [21:12] Jynaru : !ex 10, 6, 1, 4, 8, 10, 3, 3, 8, 6, 2, Successes : 4 [21:12] !exj 10 [21:12] Jynaru : !exj 10, 8, 8, 2, 10, 4, 8, 5, 5, 7, 2, Successes : 6 [21:13] * Jynaru 'll use the J.

[21:13] !exj 10 [21:13] Tala : !exj 10, 3, 5, 1, 8, 10, 10, 4, 10, 1, 6, Successes : 7 [21:13] !exj 10 [21:13] Tala : !exj 10, 5, 9, 9, 2, 8, 10, 5, 8, 7, 10, Successes : 9 [21:13] !exj 10 [21:13] Tala : !exj 10, 4, 10, 10, 10, 2, 4, 9, 9, 8, 8, Successes : 10 [21:13] !exj 10 [21:13] Tala : !exj 10, 7, 7, 6, 4, 5, 4, 3, 10, 10, 4, Successes : 6 [21:13] !exj 10 [21:13] Tala : !exj 10, 9, 5, 2, 8, 8, 9, 9, 2, 10, 5, Successes : 7 [21:13] !exj 10 [21:13] Tala : !exj 10, 2, 8, 7, 3, 5, 7, 6, 7, 6, 10, Successes : 6 [21:13] !exj 10 [21:13] Tala : !exj 10, 2, 8, 8, 1, 9, 7, 7, 9, 5, 3, Successes : 6 [21:13] !exj 10 [21:13] Tala : !exj 10, 7, 5, 7, 5, 1, 2, 3, 9, 3, 3, Successes : 3 [21:13] ...can we get things MOVINGm PLEASE ? [21:13] lol [21:13] * Tala is totally using exj from now on [21:13] Allright enough with the dice [21:13] (*THats a little to muvh mojo) [21:13] * Cicada is deep in thought, eating her food slowly. Kimyee is happily nibbling away. Puuhda is moaning softly and tries to cheer her up by playing outrageous acrobatic stunts on the railing around the gazebo. [21:13] (Clearly, my seduction of Tala is begun.) [21:13] Eat breakfast and so on [21:13] Tala is also missing [21:14] She didn't come back with you [21:14] * Tei is eating quietly [21:14] * Jynaru asked about any natives in the area. [21:14] so is Van, 'cause he's drooling, bleeding, and KOed [21:14] * Cicada graps Puuhda and holds him fast against her lap with one hand before he manages to become too much of a pest. [21:14] * Tabius is eating heartily from a plate that he himself has prepaired. In the mean while looking around at everything with wonder. [21:16] What about the natives Jyn? [21:16] Are there any of them around? [21:16] yea, cooking you dinner, bringing you food, hanging wreathes of flowers with prayers just loud enough for you to hear [21:17] cooking breakfast, that is [21:18] ... swarmed by Natives. AS a random question, have we been teaching them High or Low Realm along with learning nativeish? [21:19] * Cicada has not seen any reason to teach them. [21:19] (lord knows I haven't, Van knows nativeish in a week or so) [21:19] Ah. Could have sworn someone mentioned teaching them one of the versions for military usage. [21:19] (Maris) [21:20] (well, he didn't 'caus eno one knew how to speka it) [21:20] He's teaching them something [21:21] * Jynaru rubs at his eyes before speaking. "I assume most of you are wondering about my conduct yesterday with our friendly Anathema." [21:21] * Storyteller isn't sure what anymore [21:21] they don't know anything besides nativeish right now though [21:21] * Cicada just eats on slowly, eyes shut. [21:22] * Tei puts his bowl down, and listens. [21:22] "Erm, yeah." [21:22] "It seems the concept of subltety is a closed book to our missing monk." [21:23] "Or perhaps slaying him in the midst of his tribe sounds like a good idea to someone?" [21:23] "Its something I certainly never ascribed to the Order in general" [21:24] * Tei frowns but says nothing [21:24] * Cicada pauses in her eating for a second, then continues. [21:24] * Jynaru takes a drink and leans back. "I guess I'm spoiled by the monks I tend to deal with. But that's not the point." [21:25] * Vanal shifts, and moans out something in his unconcious stupor [21:25] "There are noted exceptions friend Tei." [21:25] "We are seriously endangering our status here with these antics." [21:27] "Not only that, but we are seriously endangering ourselves with this dissent about him." [21:27] * Cicada nods. [21:27] * Jynaru looks around the table. "Or has that vanished now that we've had time to think?" [21:27] * Tabius nods about the dssent. [21:29] "I still think that keeping him under raps her keeps him from potentially terrorizing the rest of Creation [21:29] "Outside our perview." [21:29] * Jynaru shakes his head. [21:29] "And how do you propose to do that?" [21:30] "Perhaps you have a crystal jail hidden up one of those sleeves?" [21:30] "By whatever means necessary, no crystalin Jails, but I could construct a prison of sorts if necessary. [21:31] "doubtfull. For my jade he's either a killed or we leave him alone. I think we have few options in between. [21:32] "I just wish we knew more about the island before we make this kind of decision. [21:33] "If he is truelly stuck here as we are then his threat level is minimal in the larger picture." [21:33] That's the problem, Tei. We cannot leave him where he is. And any attempt to remove him destabilizes the tribe." [21:33] "His usefulness remains to be assertained, even if we don't trust his nature." [21:34] "He could very well be our ticket off this island, which serves the higher purpose of us warning the Relam [21:34] (*Realm Even :-P) [21:35] "It is unfortunate the he only speaks one language, and that only two of us can communicate with him directly." [21:35] * Jynaru looks at Tabius. "Have you been indulging in a bit too much Bright Morning?" [21:35] "I knew the person he was before he exalted, which I have changed my opinion about. I think he is newly exalted. [21:36] "Or maybe you'd like to sit and watch while everything falls apart around us? Have you already forgotten what the newly Exalted can do? Have you already forgotten the village?" [21:36] "The village was not the work of newly exalted, I can not believe that a newly exalted Anathema could [21:36] * Cicada gives Jynaru a quick, hateful, glare. [21:37] "Summon the Greater Minions of the Eyeless Face." [21:37] "Red Bloom was not newly Exalted. However, his minions were." [21:38] "New minions do not notice and actively countermagic ones Invisibility spell on a whim." [21:39] "From the evidence that I saw after most everybody but Maris was down and out, they have been an [21:39] "You'd be surprised. The newly Exalted do not operate as their previous selves. However, I'll concede the point." [21:40] "I suggest we deal with now, before we start a debate about then." [21:40] "Active band for many many years." [21:40] "A good suggestion. A vote?" [21:41] "I'me not done yet. Or maybe you've spent almost a decade hunting Anathema and can surpass my experience, I think I'm qualified to speak here." [21:42] "I'm using examples we all know for clarity. Remember Bentharr, everyone?" [21:42] "I am thinking I know Magic and how long it takes to learn, let alone the conversation Red Bloom [21:42] * Tei mutters "At least he has experiance in something" [21:42] "Had with others to get us sent here, while everybody else was unconcious." [21:43] * Jynaru shrugs. [21:43] * Cicada touches Tei's leg lightly under the table and almost imperceptively shakes her head to him. [21:44] "I am just giving a different perspective to the same problem, I agree its a problem and must be delt with." [21:44] "Maybe my examples are flawed. What I am saying is that this person will not be as you knew him. There is an element of un-predictability that argues against attempts to simply contain him." [21:45] "All that I do know is this: If we kill him, the Anathema spirit pops into somebody elses body." [21:46] "personnaly I would rather we talk to him rather than about him." [21:46] * Jynaru looks at Tei. [21:46] "If that body is outside the control of reasonable people like us, then it will be free to further make mahem. [21:46] * Jynaru just shakes his head sadly and returns to the debate with Tabius. [21:47] "Controlling, subduing, or just letting him be trapped on this island with the rest of us is better, than killing him., [21:47] "Who currently has the potential for more destruction, Red Bloom, or this new Exalt?" [21:48] "Red bloom, without question." [21:48] "yeah, but this isn't a choice between the two." [21:48] "And who knows about Red Bloom?" [21:48] "Just who seems to have noticed he's got control of at lest part of the damned Fire Fleet? Who can conceal himself and a band of other Anathema within the very Realm?" [21:49] "Where does the choice between the two exist for any practical application? [21:49] "That would be us. If we let this new Unclean sit around and gain in power, as he will, we are far less likely to be able to return, or even get the word out." [21:50] * Vanal hobbles out of his hut, using a stick as a cane [21:50] * Cicada spots Vanal and rushes to asist him, if he will let her. [21:50] "Killing this new one will set the spirit loose, yes. But it may not re-incarnate immediately. And it's far less likely to cause more trouble than Bloom, who we stand a chance of foiling." [21:51] * Vanal shakes Cic off "I'll walk on my own, dammit." [21:51] * Cicada nods and lets him. [21:51] "Then leaving him hear trapped is not an option. His almost immediate reinvestment is all but asured. [21:51] "Mackar all but proved that." [21:52] "If we kill him." [21:52] * Vanal speaks, his voice raspy "I think Malkor was a special case." [21:52] (*Malkor Even) [21:52] * Jynaru nods o Vanal. [21:53] "New question. Can we kill him, and what will happen to us if we're caught at it?" [21:53] "If we're caught...we alienate the village, and fight for our lives." [21:53] "Killing him should not be a problem I do not think, if we arrange it correctly. [21:53] * Vanal CAREFULLY sits down [21:54] "Not a problem at all. The difficulty is explaining away his abscence." [21:55] "I don't think the old 'he broke his leg and was eaten by a bear' excuse will fly." [21:55] "This isn't a simple case of in and out assassination where you're far away from the fallout." [21:55] "Yes, that would be a problem, but I will should like to find out if thats the only venue the others think is vialbe? [21:55] "Right about now, I'm in no shape to pull anything. Don't look at me." [21:55] "And, as much as I hate to admit it...he did save our necks." [21:56] "And Bloom spared ours for some ineffable reason. That does not make him a good person." [21:56] "I never said he was," [21:56] * Vanal scowls [21:57] "Let's put it simply. Anathema do not count. They are not people." [21:57] * Vanal chuckles weakly "Point." [21:57] "It is best to ascribe to them the same respect one gives to a thunderstorm or a rabid animal." [21:57] * Tei scowls again, but stays silent [21:58] "As of the last count, just the Anathema I have personally been involved with have amassed a death count of over..." [21:58] "If they feel pain and are sentient able to make their own decisions, then they have moral worth. [21:58] "Bullshit." [21:58] * Jynaru tallies rapidly on his fingers. [21:59] * Cicada decides not to tell how much she likes being out in thunderstorms and enjoy their touch. [21:59] "Even the lowest unclean slave has worth, abiet not much. [21:59] "You're telling me a group of...ravenign beasts who raped and massacred a village have moral worth ?" [21:59] "Over a thousand people. That's not counting Bloom, and that's only the confirmed death totals." [21:59] "Get out of your dream world, TAbius. This is reality." [22:00] "That's not counting the nigh-irrerperable damage caused by their heresies." [22:00] "Yes they do, until they prove otherwise by doing exactly what they did and killing other people with moral worth [22:00] "But yet, Anathema DO that sort of thing. It's their nature. That's why they're ANATHEMA" [22:00] "According to the law, what is the punishment for murder?" [22:00] "or didn't you pay attention to the good monk back in grade school ?" [22:00] "For heresies against the Immaculate Order?" [22:00] "Our new buddy here saved our necks, didn't try and bite them off. He has done nothing but help." [22:02] Right now he is sitting on a long in front of his tent, hands subtly glowing as he seems to be experimenting with his essence [22:02] "Look at him!" [22:02] "Already he begins to test the limits of his stolen power." [22:03] "As did we all, when newly exalted." [22:03] "What is the punishment for a commoner to consort with spirits? [22:03] "Actually, when I exalte,d I throttled the living hell out of goldenrod, here." [22:03] "Yes, its power that can be bent to good, instead of evil with the right teaching, just as Red Bloom did [22:03] "To the wayward DragonBlooded in his brood. [22:04] "Im a monk not a judge, you want tips find a lawyer." [22:04] "I can list multiple crimes that according to Realm law call for death." [22:05] * Vanal blinks blearily" [22:05] "As far as I'm concerned, the ground we walk on is an unofficial satrapy." [22:05] "According to the standards you are BOTH sworn to uphold, leaving him to walk free is a crime." [22:05] "That's dangerous ground, Jynaru. We thought that of Lookshy, remember ?" [22:06] "But you're right." [22:06] "Your opinion of what is a Satrapy or not is just that an opinion. [22:08] * Jynaru shrugs. "Vanal, what does military law say about jurisdiction in Legion occupied areas?" [22:08] "May I humbly suggest that we let sleeping lions lay for the time being and find out about the island first. [22:08] THen make an informed decision?" [22:08] "In theory...we've got control...in practice, whoever has the most weapons and men." [22:09] "And that would be who in this case?" [22:09] (nervously) "I agree. The Anathema must be watched. But we don't know what allies he might have waiting for an opportunity to destroy us should we attack him." [22:09] "Figuring out how the island works first might be a very good idea." [22:10] "I've no bloody clue. There's about 10 of us....but lord knows if HE'S got any backup." [22:10] "I want to off him too, but running in half-cocked is a DUMB idea." [22:10] "he has backup, he has a whole village if not an entire island." [22:10] "And for once, I agree with the shrinking violet here." [22:10] * Jynaru shrugs. [22:10] "We need recon. And we need to build up support of our own." [22:11] "I mean, look. He appears so simpleminded. Not exactly the model of a counquering Anathema, he must have greater allies and superiors." [22:11] "And how are we to do that with that thing in our midst?" [22:11] "Or really just be simple minded, which means he isn't an immediate threat." [22:11] "We pretend. I could train up some troops, under the gusie of 'prearing them'...swing them over to our side in the process." [22:12] "Plus, give *us* some backup at the same time." [22:13] "In which time the Anathema gains more power. This is one of the Unclean. Tei SHOULD know what they can do." [22:13] * Tabius nods in Vanals direction, "Excellent plan." [22:13] "MEANWHILE...some of you others either work to counter-act him, or otherwise render him ineffective." [22:14] "'cause let's face it...we're beaten up from the damned ship." [22:14] "In-effective is dead. They resist poisons, we have no controlled disease vector, and there is no way to physically restrain him." [22:15] "They resist all poisons?" [22:15] "They resist. They aren't immune." [22:15] "Dosage that would outright kills a normal person tends to merely make them ill." [22:16] "Being ill enough to get him quaruntied and afraid of himself to leave where he is at would do the trick [22:16] * Vanal pats himself down "anyone got a smoke ?" [22:16] "In theory theres not much differance btween the capabilities of a newly exalted anathem and a newly exalted dragonblood [22:16] "Hmmm... what if we 'counter' his influence on the natives a bit? Show him up, so to speak?" [22:17] "That's what I was thinking, Cicada." [22:17] "He's newly exalted, we've got to undermine his power base BEFORE we kill him, or we'll hit a revolt." [22:17] "They must be impressed by his powers over the dead. But what if one of us displayed powers like them. [22:17] * Cicada looks first to tabius then to the wounded Vanal. [22:17] "Don't look at me. My charms revolve more around 'hit it so that it falls down...HARD' " [22:18] "But you are wounded. The power over life and death, sir vanal." [22:18] "The power over the dead seemed to be a general power over spirits that the shauman around here have perfected [22:18] "How nice. Healing." [22:18] "Oh for the love of...you want goldenrod to HEAL ME ?" [22:18] * Cicada points subtly at Tabius. [22:18] "Can he even patch up those damn adamantine cuts ?" [22:18] "I really don't think making the anathema jealouse of us is a good Idea untill we know what he can do." [22:18] "Yes, It does not hurt. I promise you that." [22:18] * Vanal gestures to the bigass scars [22:19] "Let's provoke the Anathema to try his powers even more! What a perfectly lovely idea!" [22:19] "Sorry Van, I do not think I can make the really nasty cut I gave you go away, but much of the rest yes." [22:19] "Actually Tei, if the Anathema is 'new' he might want to become our appentrice..." [22:20] "Oh, even BETTER. Maybe we can teach him how to kill us at the same... [22:20] (Tei = Jynaru) [22:20] * Vanal double sover in sudden pain [22:20] "Bloody fucking HELL." [22:20] (NOw that's an interesting equation.) [22:20] (shut up, you know what I mean :) [22:20] * Jynaru looks steadily at her. "You are NOT suggesting what I think you are." [22:21] * Vanal 's wounds seep a little blood [22:21] "I am not saying we teach the Anathema anything. Sir Cathak Tabius knows better than that." [22:21] * Vanal puts pressure on the wound [22:21] "Lets make it a big ceremony. Have the entire tribe present to witness and help praying." [22:22] * Tabius in Native to a native he knows, "Get me a bandage Beauty by the Starlight, thank you." [22:22] "I doubt he needs to be taught, Anathem seem to have instinctive controll of they're powers. Even moreso than we do." [22:22] The girl bows to you and goes to get you a bandage [22:22] * Cicada sits down next to Vanal and assists with the wounds. [22:22] she comes back with a bandadge and hands it to Cicada [22:22] * Vanal curses rather vilely in Low Realm [22:23] She then winks slyly at Tabius and goes back to her tasks [22:23] "Does he know that sir Tei? Would we lose anything by this not working?" [22:23] "All the more reason to not give him time to master them." [22:23] * Vanal strips off his shirt [22:23] * Cicada smiles proudly on seeing her wink. [22:24] * Tabius boggles at what big muscles Vanal has. ( ';-) ) [22:24] * Vanal lets Cic tend to the seeping wound...one of the adamantium sword slashes [22:24] "Damn, this one is not too good. It might not scar well..." [22:24] "What we lose is our advantage over him. The longer we wait, the harder it is going to be to eliminate him. [22:24] "Blame your goddamn master...he's the one who cut me there." [22:24] * Cicada falters a bit. [22:25] "Sorry Van, demon spirits make you do weird things." [22:25] "Sit on it and rotate, goldenrod." [22:26] "You can't be serious? That would get dirt and other materials in your wound!" [22:26] "Well Jynaru, you want to go on a picnic with him right now and make sure he does not come back? Well, do so. Bring whatever support he has down on us like an avalanche. I am sure we can take it." [22:26] "The next point. It seems that as far as Tala is concerned, we're all under his thrall." [22:26] "Jynaru...if I move I'll re-open this wound...could you hit him for me ?" [22:26] * Tabius mockingly puts up his hands to ward off attack. [22:27] "Now while I don't think much of her subtlety, we need all the help we can get right now." [22:28] "Tala is another matter that well I do not know how to start to salve without killing the old fart.L [22:28] "I can't really fault her, She's a better monk than I am." [22:29] "I've been unconcious since he showed up, there's no fuckign way I'm under his thrall." [22:31] [22:31] "Here's what I propose. Loath as I am to admit it, Tabius is the best choice for a figurehead. We show him up. He resorts to traffic with whatever this tribe forbirds traffic with. He disappears." [22:31] "I'm willing to wait, but not long." [22:31] "Anyway, who say we compete him out? At the very least that will show us his true power and tthe extent to which he masters them. And that we then start exploring the island for his supporters?" [22:32] * Cicada nods to Jynaru. [22:32] "A week or so, tops. To wait any longer is to invite trouble." [22:32] "I also want him out of the picture as quickly as possible." [22:32] "do as you will, I will reserve my judgment of him till I have more to go on." [22:34] "But I'd watch out for Tala. Dragons only know what she'll do when she gets wind of this." [22:36] * Cicada nods to Tei. [22:36] "I should begin arranging equipment and rations for exploration trips immideately. Or should we do the full-tribe ceremony at once? [22:37] "Ceremony first. Let's get this area under control before spreading out." [22:37] * Vanal tries to get to his feet...and fails miserably [22:37] * Cicada gives the Realm salute. [22:38] "FUCK ! I MOTHING FUCKING HATE THIS FUCKING SHIT !" [22:38] *Mother [22:38] "Try not to stand, sir Vanal. You are about to be a star." [22:38] * Vanal GLARES at cicada [22:38] "Be quiet, little girl." [22:39] "Oh, get in the spirit of things, Vanal! Just think, you're helping propel Tabius to the prominence he so richly deserves!" [22:39] * Cicada shuts up. Not as if she intended to say any more anyway. [22:39] "...put me back on the sip." [22:39] *ship [22:40] * Cicada tries not to smirk. Cicada SO tries not to smirk. [22:40] * Jynaru shrugs. "Maybe if you ask nicely I'll let YOU push him off the pedestal we put him on." [22:40] "As long as it's with Dividing Wind." [22:41] "I swear to Hesiesh himself, you three will pay for this." [22:41] * Vanal looks totally miserable [22:42] * Jynaru shrugs. "Send me the bill." [22:42] "In flesh." [22:42] * Cicada checks Jynarus facial expression, she will TRY not to grin anymore than he does. [22:44] * Jynaru raises a glass to Vanal. "Why Vanal! I didn't know you felt that way! But please, don't let me get in the way of your vast love for Tabius's wonderful physique." [22:44] * Vanal is turnign bright red in anger [22:45] * Tabius does a good job at not laughing while he makes a muscle and smiles proudly. [22:45] * Jynaru oohs and ahhs and flutters his eyelashes at Tabius. [22:45] * Tei mutters something indecipherable about babysitting [22:45] "It would be tempting, but it'd be hopeless. i mena, he only *can* get it up when he's bronzed." [22:45] * Cicada very quickly runs to check on trekking equipment in a far away tent. The screetching laughter heard from the tent soon after has no relation to the conversation of course. [22:46] "Well Jyn, I have this idea that just might work........" [22:47] * Vanal jsut holds his head in his arms [22:47] "If you would like to take a walk on the beach with me that is?" [22:48] * Vanal tries to get to his feet again, successfully this time, g=and grabs his makeshift cane [22:49] * Jynaru slides the chair back and bows deeply. "I'd be delighted." [22:49] * Jynaru offers him an arm. [22:49] * Tabius takes the arm and skips off to the beach singing a little toon, "We're off to see the wizard....." [22:49] * Vanal hobbles off to find soem booze [22:50] * Tei sits alone for some time thinking [22:50] and wishing he spoke the solars language [22:50] * Cicada returns from the tent, drying away tears from her cheeks. "Ahhh, that felt good..." [22:51] * Cicada leans on the railing. "And what are you gloomy about, Sir Peleps Tei?" [22:52] * Vanal starts tossing back quite a few drinks [22:53] "Not much te be happy for. I've just spent the better part of a day discussing the execution of some one I barely know because he may or may not want to destroy creation. Wile the "Anathema" in question sits and plays quietly like a five year old." [22:54] * Cicada 's smile disappear. [22:54] !ex 4 [22:54] Jynaru : !ex 4, 8, 9, 2, 8, Successes : 3 [22:55] "Tei, you saw the village too. You know what those things do. Though I admit, he does appear so innocent.." [22:56] not so innocent with a giant halo flying around him [22:56] "Sans the anima thing, I mean.." [22:56] he is staring at the runes, trying to find out what they mean [22:56] "I refuse to judge one on the sins of another." [22:57] "So what do you want? Sould we wait for his crimes?" [22:57] * L_Jynaru (Fiat@dsc01-ati-ga-4-111.rasserver.net) has joined #pvpexaltedrp [22:57] * Jynaru (Fiat@dsc01-ati-ga-4-111.rasserver.net) Quit (Connection reset by peer) [22:58] [defiantly] "yes, I want to have some reason to kill other than, what he might do. I prefer to avoid murdering an innocent if I can help it." [23:00] A couple of the native girls saunter over to him, but he says something to them, shaking his head, and they walk away again [23:00] "Under any other circumstances I agree. And yes, I feel more bad than you can imagine about what we have to do. But it cannot be helped. Have you any idea of the pain, misery, and shame it causes to be voilated the way those monsters clearly do? The should be wiped out! All of them! Every Anathema monster every cursed..." [23:01] * Cicada bites down before she manages to scream "DYNAST!". [23:01] * Cicada sighs. [23:01] [coldly]"that sounds more like vengeance than justice" [23:01] "Not that I have any right to speak. It never really happened to me..." [23:02] "Yes, just vengeance... sorry..." [23:03] [more warmly] "I an't know what you've been through. I'm sorry for trying to judge you too." [23:03] * Cicada falls silent. She don't want to fight with Tei, and certainly not about this. [23:05] "but I'll tell you this I won't allow his death. Not on the pretext of saving us from his future evil." [23:06] "But what if you one day find him gone and me half dead in a tent, his first victim?" [23:06] * Cicada shudders. [23:06] "Then I kill him, not before. I won't kill on speculation like I've been saying." [23:07] "I've never killed anything knowingly, without a reason." [23:07] "I understand you Tei. I just... I don't know.." [23:08] "Neither do I. Just dooing the best I can." [23:09] "It was so easy just being a slave and soldier." [23:10] * Cicada shakes her head. [23:11] * Tabius starts heading back to the ghazibo. [23:12] "Still, the ceremony and exploration might give us time to figure out what is best." [23:14] * Cicada prods Tei's head. "You were kind of cute with hair." [23:15] "and I'm not now?" [23:15] * Tabius is now approaching the Ghazibo. [23:15] "Oh, but you are." [23:15] * Cicada sighs. [23:15] "I am sorry we promised not to do stuff like this." [23:15] "I am sorry. We promised not to do stuff like this." [23:16] (later sentence is the correct one) [23:17] * Tabius walks back in and takes a seat in front of his half finished break-fast and munches down some more. [23:17] "you promised, I did'nt. But this is neither the time nor the place for it anyway." [23:18] * Cicada looks about to protest. Then pauses and turns away. [23:19] "Well any ideas?" [23:20] [who?] [23:20] he's just asking you and cicada, everyone else seems to be wandering around [23:20] Vanal's well drunk by now [23:20] (*Either, both are there) [23:20] well as long as he wants [23:20] to get drunk [23:20] "Apart from the ceremony to undermine him and trying to figure out more about them environment that we are operating in, no." [23:21] "I don't like any of this, but I really hav'nt anything better to suggest." [23:21] Not rip-roaring...but fairly tipsy [23:22] "Other than popping off Jyn, Van, Maris, and Tala, I do not see an alternate to what they want." [23:23] "if only we could get him away from them for a while, hide him till we know more about his positions." [23:23] "Much as I want to see him dead. I am afraid i might falter at the sight of an helpless old man and so get killed myself." [23:24] "And I still have trouble jus condemning him." [23:24] The old man seems to have given up on his anima and goes inside, grabbing a large medicine stick, and looking around before heading out into the woods [23:24] "An interesting thought, but we are still hampered completely by the fact we know jack and nothing about this island. [23:24] * Cicada nods. [23:24] "Erm, we should not let him go by himself, regardless....." [23:24] "I should start preparations for mu expeditions immideately." [23:25] "Farwell for a the moment." [23:25] "would you like to tail him Tabius?" [23:25] * Tabius gets up and jogs after the Anathema. [23:25] * Tei follows tabs [23:25] He knows these lands well, and he is not as slow as his age would make it seem [23:25] roll perception + survival [23:26] * Cicada goes to the natives and begin talking about her planned trips and the equipment that she will need. [23:26] * L_Jynaru will likely be taking a short nap. [23:26] tabius [23:26] (*What dice thing is working anyways?) [23:26] Cicada you will be given what you need [23:26] the !ex seems to work fine [23:26] !ex 10 [23:26] Tabius : !ex 10, 6, 10, 10, 5, 3, 2, 9, 5, 6, 7, Successes : 6 [23:27] It is not difficult to follow him, he makes no effort to hide his trail [23:27] (*Once I catch up I will hail him of course, want to talk to him) [23:27] [do I need to roll to follow tabs] [23:27] * Cicada takes time to make sure that everything is in order. it is likely too late to start the first expedition today anyway. [23:27] no [23:27] Cicada you said you left in the morning regardless [23:27] * Cicada casts a single long glance after Tei and Tabius as they leave. [23:28] (ah, on the 'chasing Kimyee' trip?) [23:29] yes [23:29] "Rises-with-the-Sun Hold a moment please." [23:29] * Tabius in native. [23:29] (okay, but then Cicada will be gone once she sets out.) [23:30] * Tei approaches close on tabs heels. [23:30] He looks back to you shaking his stick, and then stops as you approach. [23:30] * Vanal staggers out of his hut, and looks for a fmailiar face [23:30] "You should not follow me, where I go is very dangerous." [23:30] * Tei looks at tabs for a translation [23:30] Vanal, besides the girl you are leaning on, you don't see anybody you recognize [23:31] {Native} "Your saftey is of my primary concern, where goest thou?" [23:31] "Yesh....figgers...never 'round whenI needum..." [23:31] * Tabius translates both right after smiling at Tei. [23:31] {Native} "I go to the Bay of the Midnight Coil, it is not far from here." [23:31] * Cicada is arraning what looks like a backpack, marching equipment and rations outside a tent. [23:32] {Native then Realm) "Very interesting, what is the purpose of the visit, if I may be so bold as to inquire." [23:32] {Native} "There is a spirit who dwells there, that I wish to commune with. She will know what I must do." [23:33] {Translates, then in N then R) "Do about what and why would she know?" [23:33] "This!" he says, raising his arm and causing his castemark on his forhead. [23:34] * Vanal looks at the girl helping him "Hey, you know you're a verrry pleashant looking girl..." [23:34] * Vanal kinda sways a bit [23:34] "She knows everything that has happened in my life; she will know about this." [23:34] She smiles and kisses Vanal lightly [23:34] "I know about that, if you wish to know." [23:34] {in native, then quickly translates) [23:34] He rubs his eyes. [23:35] "I suppose you would, but... you are very strange people. I do not think you understand what is really happening to me." [23:35] "Tell him we'd like to understand and aks if we can accompany him." [23:35] {Native then Realm} "We are unfortunately know all to well what is happening to you, even though you are slightly different" [23:36] He looks at you two and then shakes his head. [23:36] {Native) "Which is why we should accompany you." [23:36] "Then what is it? Tell me, and let me go on my own; I will not endanger your lives as well." [23:36] "Damn Tabiush...littke shit...makink fuuuunn of me...I'll show him...shomeday, he'll get hish..." [23:36] * Cicada shakes her head a little as she packs. It is not like that she does not understand why Tei does not want to protect her from the Anathema and what it might do to her. She has not exactly been fair to Tei lately, after all. [23:37] the girl leads you towards an unoccupied tent, Vanal [23:37] {Native, then Realm} "If it is so dangerous, is there not strength in numbers, specialy for such as we? [23:38] "Hey...where we goink ? [23:38] {Nativish} "No! I will not put you in danger as well. The spirits will not take kindly onto any but me approaching." [23:39] * Tabius translates looking at Tei for help in the direction of the conversation. [23:39] * Vanal looks at the native girl, and tries to comprehend what is going on [23:39] She just giggles and then starts playing with you once you are inside the tent [23:39] "Tell him I have a lot of experiance dealling with spirits, and will take my chances in order to meet this spirit, who must be so wise." [23:39] * Tabius translates it to Native. [23:39] "No! no no no no no no." [23:40] he seems agitated [23:40] "hey...shtop it...that feelsh...nish..." [23:40] to tabs "could you make us invisible and we follow him?" [23:41] * Vanal looks at the girl through bleary eyes... [23:41] she laughs as she carefully puts you down on the bed [23:41] {Realm} "Yes, for 1 hour at a time, possible several times in a row." [23:41] {Realm} "But I have my limits" [23:41] * Vanal joins in with the giggling [23:42] and the licking? [23:42] * Cicada puts on her pack. Checks that her belts and weapons are in place. Asks Kimyee for directions again. And then departs from the village after having told some of the natives to tell the others where she is going and how long time she plans to be away. [23:42] "I wish I could speak to him directly, it's very hard to be forcefull by translater." [23:42] "I can try and Act, I am a fire aspect after all." [23:42] * Vanal is aware fo the licking...he's not doign anything to stop it, but his brain is too occupied with gigglign right now [23:43] * Cicada will have to grow up and stand on her own legs. She cannot depend on Tei always being there for her. Especially when it would destroy all that he has build for himself. [23:43] * Tabius looks to Rising and appears to almost say something and then turns back to Tei. [23:43] He turns around and walks along his trail chanting under his braeth [23:43] poor vanal. fade to black [23:43] Storyteller : !exp 1, 2, Pregnancies, Boy: 0 , Girl: 1 [23:43] !exp 1 [23:43] [...] [23:44] Tsk tsk tsk. [23:44] and Vanal, the monogamous...couldn;t stave off this one *g* [23:47] So [23:47] Rising is now out of sight [23:47] (*Out of site to whom? [23:47] everyone [23:48] (*How the heck did he disappear walking away makes sound) [23:48] "C'mon Tabius I want to know where he's going." [23:48] * Jynaru (Fiat@dsc01-ati-ga-4-111.rasserver.net) has joined #pvpexaltedrp [23:48] he did walk away, you just got distracted [23:49] * L_Jynaru (Fiat@dsc01-ati-ga-4-111.rasserver.net) Quit (Connection reset by peer) [23:49] * Tabius looks for tracks. [23:49] * Tei helps [23:49] both of you roll per + survival [23:49] !ex 10 [23:49] Tabius : !ex 10, 5, 1, 5, 8, 4, 6, 4, 5, 3, 9, Successes : 2 [23:49] !ex5 and a wp [23:49] 50 dice or less. example: !ex 5 [23:49] !ex 5 [23:49] Tei : !ex 5, 5, 7, 7, 7, 1, Successes : 3 [23:50] and a wp [23:50] (*YEAH!!!!!) [23:50] it is not difficult to follow the shaman [23:50] you quickly find the trail [23:50] "quietly he'll stop if he knows we're back here." [23:50] "He just left, not helping his case. [23:50] "ok" [23:51] roll dex + stealth, both of you [23:51] * Tabius heads off quietly. [23:51] !ex 7 [23:51] Tabius : !ex 7, 10, 1, 4, 6, 6, 4, 4, Successes : 2 [23:51] !ex 5 [23:51] Tei : !ex 5, 4, 7, 5, 3, 7, Successes : 2 [23:51] (YEAH!!!! MOJO NIGHT OF DOOM) [23:52] ok your sneaking after the shaman [23:52] it'll take a couple seconds to find him [23:52] [you DID remember to become invisible, right?] [23:52] (*Not yet*) [23:54] you hear crashing in the bushes from ahead [23:55] * Tabius looks at Tei and then moves ahead a little more quickly. [23:55] * Tei follows keeping my eyes peeled, this is a savage jungle after all [23:56] you hear a shout of pain [23:56] }:) [23:56] * Tabius keeps going. [23:56] is it rises? [23:57] you break through a bush to see Tala standing over the shaman, bleeding heavily. She doesn't seem to notice you are there. [23:58] "I guess he refused to sleep with you Tala?" [23:58] "This is for your own good. Your soul will be free." [23:58] * Tei tackles her [23:58] [in the middle of an extra attack charm i started long before you got here] [23:59] With a final strike, she smashes her clawed fists into his head, vaporising it into a fine, red mist as Tei leaps through the air in slow motion [00:00] "I guess so." [00:01] Assuming she isn't tackled, Tala stands over the body of the shaman solemnly [00:02] Well you are tackled [00:02] oh she's tackled unless I can't [00:02] You aren't expecting it either so you don't get to resist [00:02] Tei smashes into Tala knocking her to the ground under him [00:03] * Tala grunts as she is hauled to the ground [00:03] * Tala tries to keep her claws out of the way so Tei isn't injured [00:04] * Tabius waits to see if Tei goes zerk on her. [00:04] * Tei is not holding back and likely drove something hard into her stomach [00:05] * Tei rolls off of her immediately and assumes the fire dragon form looking *EXTREMELY* frustrated [00:05] * Tabius in a voice as commanding as he can possible get, "HOLD THY WRATH IMMACULATE!" [00:05] [peripheral essence [00:06] * Tala moves away and stands, somewhat defensive, obviously in her Water Dragon stance, but not appearing hostile towards either [00:06] "Shut up, Sorcerer!" [00:06] "It is done. The demon is gone.." [00:07] "Its done, nothing we do now can bring the body back." [00:07] "No but avenging his murder will make me feel a lot better." [00:07] "I didn't murder anyone." [00:08] * Tei points to body [00:08] "I avenged to soul of that poor man." [00:08] * Tabius raises an eyebrow! [00:08] "don't give me any Bullshit stories of "Mercy"! [00:09] * Tala looks genuinely puzzled by Tei's behavior. [00:09] * Tabius very unviolently goes over and raps the body in his cloak, including any dirt that got blood on it. [00:09] "you murdered a man who did nothing to you ot of sheer pigheaded ness." [00:09] * Tei is starting to weep and shake [00:09] "There was no way to save him any more." [00:10] * Tabius very lowely says a prayer to the Dragons for the soul of the man while he works. [00:10] * Tala kneels next to the body and places her hand lightly on it and softly says a prayer for the soul of the man who was taken over by the demon." [00:11] * Tei rushes forward and atempts to very ungently slap herr hand away [00:12] "you have no right to touch him." [00:12] "I will take care of this, but you must tell me how to not have an angry ghost rise?" [00:13] "Let him rise." [00:13] * Tala finishes her prayer for the poor shaman, asking that the Dragons cleans what remains of his soul and send it back, that he might have a chance to live a full life unharmed by Anathema [00:13] "I said GET AWAY!" [00:13] "I will help you. So that we can send his soul to the Dragons." [00:14] Tei roll strength + presence [00:14] * Tei atempts to give tala a good hard shot in the jaw and knock her away [00:15] * Tala attempts to dodge [00:15] !ex 4 [00:15] Tei : !ex 4, 1, 9, 3, 3, Successes : 1 [00:15] Tei roll dex + MA + 1 [00:16] er +1 stunt [00:16] !ex 15 [00:16] Tei : !ex 15, 2, 3, 5, 9, 7, 10, 9, 5, 10, 7, 10, 9, 8, 4, 3, Successes : 12 [00:16] yeow [00:16] er tala dodge [00:17] * Tala uses Flowing Water Defense, but still going to dodge. A dodge is less "hostile" than a block [00:17] [nm about the charm, that would have affected his attack dice pool] [00:17] * Tabius just prays to the dragons that he doesn't get clocked by mistake. [00:17] !ex 8 [00:17] Tala : !ex 8, 7, 7, 3, 2, 4, 3, 6, 9, Successes : 3 [00:17] 9 dice damage tei [00:18] Tala's bashing soak?

[00:19] er, uninjured right... [00:19] (unharmed, maybe?) [00:19] that's it.. [00:19] at least I didn't say unhamed [00:20] * Tei stands there shaking in rage "Get away from me, I will handle this" [00:21] * Tei is chocking back a sob and has hot tears running down his face [00:21] "No Tei, I will handle this, your to emotionaly invested, you might make a mistake. [00:21] * Tei draws both blades [00:22] "Both your paths I respect, but the option are few. [00:22] "Get away or I WILL make sure you will" [00:22] * Tala moves back [00:23] * Tabius looks at Tei with almost shock. [00:23] "Perhaps if you were more "Emotionally involved" you wou'dt murder innocent people to make yourself feel bad [00:23] er better not bad [00:23] "Tei think about this. He was taken by an Anathema. Is there any way to free the soul of one who is taken so that their life may continue?" [00:23] * Tala was emotionally involved [00:24] * Tabius remains kneeling beside the body not having moved one muscle since looking up at Tei. [00:25] "We was a man, he was confused. He did not deserve to die for it" [00:26] * Tei turns from Tala "Leave me. will Handle things, his sufferingf is over now." [00:26] "mine is just begun." [00:26] * Tala nods "Yes. That is all I could do for him." [00:27] "I can only pray that the Dragons care for his soul" [00:27] "and your's may not be far off, I will never forget nor wil I forgive." [00:28] * Tei has never sounded so cold before [00:28] * Tabius has still not moved a muscle. [00:28] * Tala sighs sadly. "If you can come up with a way to free the soul of one so affected, then I will have no choice but to regret not taking that route." [00:29] "However in the over a decade I spent training, never did I hear of or read of such a way." [00:29] * Tei shakes his head. "Training to kill unarmed defensless old men?" [00:30] "Just go away, I can't deal with this now." [00:30] * Tei will ignore tala [00:31] [to Tabius] Do you know what they're funeral customs are?" [00:31] "I recognize that you cared for the soul of this poor innocent man, and I will leave him in your hands. I hope however, that you will meditate on what has happened and see that there was no way to save him, other than to set what still remained of his soul free." [00:31] * Tei is not hearing her [00:32] "Yes." [00:32] "what must we do?" [00:33] * Tabius explains the ritual. [00:33] * Tei prepares to preform it [00:34] or perform [00:34] * Tala walks away, heading towards the shore, where she can cleanse herself, and meditate on her decision, which was harder that the others know. [00:34] it will take a while [00:34] * Tei will take as much time as he needs [00:36] * Tabius follows suite. [00:36] even If it takes a week Tei will lay his soul to rest [00:36] ok [00:36] It will not take that long to bury him well [00:37] you finish at nightfall, just as the roar of the firebirds' nightly migration fills your ears [00:38] add visiting that spirit to my list of "Things to do" [00:39] visiting the fireshark? or the grave? [00:39] the spirit he was heading to, Tei is gonna try to find it [00:39] ok [00:40] Tabius? [00:40] tei starts walking off to the west after dark [00:40] * Vanal (~ltermac@HSE-QuebecCity-ppp3496793.sympatico.ca) Quit (Quit: "You think you're better than me because of your Spinaroonie ? Well the Spinaroonie has NOTHING on the Jericho Juke and Jive !" *dances spastically*) [00:40] * Tabius heads back to town to get supplies as he is off to take a long walk (*3 months). [00:41] leaving behind a marker that denotes a crime was commited at that spot but not what was done [00:41] ok [00:41] * Tala finishes her meditations and cleaning herself up then goes to see the others [00:42] Tala when you return to camp you find that except for Vanal and Maris and the two NPC girls, everyone has went their seperate ways [00:42] * Tabius once in town writes a long note in Old Realm for Cicada, then leaves. [00:42] * Cicada left a message with the natives as to her whereabouts. [00:42] * Tei would have told tabs where he was going and asked him to inform the others [00:42] ok [00:43] Tei you arrive at the bay that the shaman was working his way towards, and feel a presence of SOMETHING, something, lurking under the waves.... something... [00:43] * Tabius informs the others after making his own preperations. [00:43] roll perception + occult [00:43] !ex 6 [00:43] Tei : !ex 6, 7, 9, 3, 6, 7, 6, Successes : 3 [00:44] you don't know what it is, but if it is a spirit, it's damn powerful [00:44] * Tala lets Maris or Vanal know what happened and that she is going to go and meditate. She gives him a rough idea of where she is going (even she doesn't know, just what she is looking for in a place to meditate) [00:44] [spirit sight and walking peripheral [00:45] there is something underneath the waves, waiting for you quietly.... [00:45] She tells him she will be gone for quite a while, but if she is needed, they can come find her. [00:46] "Rises with the sun is dead." *sob, sniffle* [00:47] the waves remain quiet, as if it is no surprise to them [00:48] "I Buried him as he should have been not far from here. I would like to know more about him." [00:48] * Tei sounds verry conciliatory, "he said you'd known him since he was born." [00:49] * Tala is now known as Werlynn [00:49] * Tei kneals by the waters edge adding his tears to the pool [00:50] O_O [00:50] "I'm sorry if I don't know the proper form of address for you, Great Spirit." [00:51] the water boils softly as your tears drop into the water, and a beautiful, silky black hand reaches out of the water to take your face in it's grasp... [00:51] * Tei does not fight [00:51] then, it draws you slowly into the water with it [00:52] * Tei allows himself to be drawn in, trying to keep up communication the whole time [00:52] * Storyteller smirks [00:52] nobody will see tei for weeks. [00:53] * Tabius wont see anybody for months. [00:53] oh, really? [00:53] I could not stop his death, I gladly offer myself in his place." [00:54] i'll get back to you monday, ok tei? [00:55] be here... [00:55] k [00:55] * Werlynn (~Werlynn@ool-182ded4e.dyn.optonline.net) Quit (Quit: ) [00:55] Okay. [00:55] Tei is delt with [00:55] Jynaru is sleeping [00:56] Leaving in the morning jyn? [00:56] * Cicada is walking. [00:56] Probably. It's clear I didn't know nativeish when I left, so I learned along the way. [00:57] (*Well Tabius doesn't have planned to see anybody ;-) [00:57] (*Not until Cicada shows up in a few months?) [00:57] * Tei hopes he comes back out of the water in one piece [00:57] * Jynaru 'll likely leave in the morning after a talk to Vanal. [00:57] * Cicada wishes to learn the wyrding ways. [00:58] one and a half pieces when i'm through with you... [00:58] (*thinks Tei will come out with additional pieces like extra tentacle arms*) [00:58] * Cicada then will run around killing Anathema by yelling her true name and become savior of the entire universe. Hate to lose the colorchanging eyes, though. But all blue is nice too. :) [00:58] just going to have to wait to find out, won't you... [01:03] * Disconnected Session Close: Sun Dec 01 01:03:35 2002
