Session Start: Sat Jan 11 21:47:17 2003
Session Ident: #pvpexaltedrp1
[21:47] * Now talking in #pvpexaltedrp1
[21:47] * Tala continues walking w/ Maris
[21:47] <Storyteller> mmm ok
[21:47] * Maris walks and waits for a response, "What's this all about Tala?"
[21:48] <Tala> "You actually trust this 'Coils' being?"
[21:48] <Maris> "Not really no.  But I prefer it to a solar.  As long as it's not working with Fallen Tongue I don't think we have to worry about it."
[21:49] <Tala> "Then we have to worry about it."
[21:49] <Maris> "Why do you think it's allied with Fallen Tongue?"
[21:50] <Tala> "Look what it has asked you to do."
[21:50] <Storyteller> Jynaru is calling after you, maris
[21:50] <Maris> (( I know))
[21:51] <Tala> "All the anathema who went to this 'Eye' have been corrupted."
[21:52] <Tala> "Now it asks us to bring more of them, not to mention ourselves."
[21:53] * Jynaru (son@c-24-98-60-90.atl.client2.attbi.com) has joined #pvpexaltedrp1
[21:53] * Tala turns to Jyn as he approaches Maris
[21:53] * Maris nods to jynaru and closes up his pocket again
[21:54] <Jynaru> "Is there a problem, Tala?"
[21:54] <Tala> "I believe so."
[21:54] * Jynaru sighs. "Always, always with the lack of joy. What is it now?"
[21:54] <Maris> "There's got to be a way to destroy it Tala.  Perhaps we should do something about Coils.  But without the Solar's help i doubt anything will be accomplished on our own."
[21:55] <Tala> "We are about to give Fallen Tongue complete control of probably the most powerful Anathema on this island."
[21:55] <Maris> "Can you do something about Coils without killing the solar?"
[21:55] * Jynaru blinks.
[21:55] <Jynaru> "What. Did. You. Just. Say?"
[21:55] <Tala> "Minnow said that she believes the demon will have to release control temporarilty in order to make it permanent."
[21:56] <Maris> "Can you do something about it then?"
[21:56] <Maris> "Without Tei stopping you?"
[21:56] <Tala> "Possibly."
[21:56] <Tala> "Not alone."
[21:56] <Jynaru> "Ok, I know the damn thing possessed me, and it's not exactly a normal spirit, but infernal?"
[21:56] <Maris> "I've heard rumors to the same about anything in the sea
[21:57] <Tala> "The binding technique requires much of my focus."
[21:57] <Maris> "Everything I've heard is that anything in it has already been taken by Fallen Tongue."
[21:57] <Tala> "Minnow says that it is a demon and I believe it."
[21:57] <Maris> "Minnow believes it is a demon?"
[21:57] <Jynaru> "Hrrmmm.... This really alters the plan..."
[21:57] * Jynaru muses.
[21:58] * Maris crosses his hands, "Alright. Here's what we do. Jynaru can you send Sanyet on his way without you or Cicada?"
[21:58] * Tala shakes her head.
[21:58] <Tala> "Minnow believes we have to allow her to get to the cove."
[21:59] <Jynaru> "Not very readily."
[21:59] <Tala> "She says it is likely that the demon has access to the Empress's powers."
[21:59] * Jynaru raises his hand and points to the ring. "the only key on the island."
[21:59] <Maris> "I get that.  JYnaru and Cicada can shadow you easily enough.  And if Tabius and Minnow happen to come along as well as you for some reason or the other you'll be well helped."
[21:59] <Tala> "We cannot act until it releases control."
[22:00] <Jynaru> "Also, Cicada doesn't seem to be ready to leave him without being torn from him."
[22:00] <Tala> "But they cannot be allowed to become suspicious."
[22:00] <Maris> All three of you then."
[22:00] <Maris> "Tala you can go."
[22:00] <Maris> "Tabious can use his invisibility spell and follow."
[22:00] <Tala> "Minnow does not trust him to make the right decision."
[22:01] <Jynaru> "And how am I to explain this to those two, and my current superior?"
[22:01] <Tala> "Frankly, i am not sure if i do either."
[22:01] * Maris nods, "So no Tabius."
[22:02] <Jynaru> "Without the sorceror, how can we get rid of the deon in a manner that assures it won't return?"
[22:02] <Tala> "I believe Tabius' presence should be up to Minnow. She is the only one I think he would believe."
[22:02] <Maris> "And to those two you tell them you have irrevocable evidence that Coils is a demon and needs to be dealt with."
[22:02] <Jynaru> "Hrm. So, I should loop around after we leave?"
[22:02] * Maris nods
[22:03] <Tala> "We must find out where they are going as well."
[22:03] <Maris> "Tala tell Tei that I suggested you go together so you can reach the spirit's manse together."
[22:03] * Jynaru shrugs.
[22:03] <Tala> "That would make him suspicious."
[22:04] <Tala> "He knows how I feel about the path he has chosen."
[22:04] <Maris> "Then just tell him you don't trust Coils and want to make sure she's on the level."
[22:04] <Jynaru> "No. That's an insult to him."
[22:04] <Tala> "That, and they would likely kill me enroute."
[22:04] <Jynaru> "Remember, this is his spirit guide, apparently."
[22:04] <Jynaru> "Extra protection, maybe?
[22:05] <Maris> "Then perhaps you should just travel with Jynaru and co?"
[22:05] <Jynaru> "Since this is so vital to the security of the plan, it's best to ensur they get there safely, and all."
[22:05] <Tala> "Those who plan to stop the demon will have to trail them to the cove."
[22:05] <Maris> She already refused help."
[22:06] <Tala> "Who?"
[22:06] <Maris> "I can't change that without making her and him too suspicious."
[22:06] <Maris> "Coils."
[22:06] * Jynaru ponders....
[22:06] <Jynaru> "Wait."
[22:06] <Jynaru> "I'm taking them to meet my master, right? Who says he isn't now near the cove? I can fake some sort of vision."
[22:07] <Jynaru> "It's a better idea than trying to remain hidden for day of travel.
[22:07] <Tala> "Jynaru, do the two of them know where you are taking them?"
[22:07] * Maris nods, "Do that then. I think it will work well. Tala should go as well. Spirits and immaculates are her specialty in dealing with."
[22:08] <Jynaru> "I've given them two different destinations already. a third would be fine.
[22:09] <Tala> "What will you do Maris? The rest were going with you."
[22:09] <Maris> "Alright that's fine.  Deal with this and see what you can do with the Solar.  I don't trust that one any more but maybe she'll trust us more after we rescue her."
[22:09] <Maris> "Damn I wish I could go as well."
[22:09] <Tala> "What will Cicada do?"
[22:10] * Maris shrugs, "I don't think we'll have to worry about that."
[22:10] <Jynaru> "I have no idea. I've never trusted her any farther than I could throw the Imperial Manse."
[22:11] * Maris looks at jynaru, "Sanyet isn't exalted yet. If you have to use him to keep her on our side. Only if you have too though."
[22:12] * Maris looks serious, "Tala talk to Minnow and see what she decides."
[22:12] <Tala> "So basicly Jynaru cannot follow because Cicada may side with Tei."
[22:12] <Maris> "I'll do what I can on my side to make sure this trap doesn't havppen."
[22:12] <Tala> "And you cannot follow because you have to lead the others."
[22:12] * Jynaru nods. "Right. I imagine by now they're getting rather suspicious. I'll head back and throw down with the performance."
[22:12] * Maris shakes his head, "Jynaru knows how to handle Cicada Tala. Do your part and he'll do his."
[22:12] <Jynaru> "She's already chosen Sanyet over everyone else. I hold the key to his future. I can't see her sacrificing that."
[22:12] <Tala> "But if you bring her we cannot rely on her choosing correctly."
[22:13] <Tala> "All right,"
[22:13] <Tala> "Then who should I go with?"
[22:13] <Maris> "I still say you can just be your plain old suspicious self.  With jynaru along they won't try to kill you."
[22:14] <Maris> "Especially if Jynaru spends the time ridiculing you."
[22:14] <Tala> "Jynaru will not be with us."
[22:15] <Maris> "Jynaru need only knock on the tent and tell them he's been told he's heading for the cove.  Then he'll ask to travel with them since they're going the same way.  You go along as well."
[22:15] * Tala shakes her head.
[22:16] <Tala> "We cannot alert them. We have to follow them and ambush them in the middle of the ritual."
[22:16] <Maris> "Alright."
[22:16] <Tala> "I will go with Jynaru and Cicada. I have no desire to consort with the shapeshiftering anathema anyway."
[22:16] <Maris> "Jynaru take cicada and Tala and follow the two of them then.  Have Sanyet stay here with me."
[22:17] <Maris> "See if Minnow think's ZTabius can come."
[22:17] * Tala sets mode: +o Storyteller
[22:17] <Jynaru> "I don't think that will work very well. Sanyet's the whole point of Cicada going anywhere with me."
[22:17] <Maris> "Then take Sanyet."
[22:17] <Tala> "She will fight to protect him you say."
[22:18] <Maris> "I'm tired and a bit confused.  You know who's going."
[22:18] * Tala nods
[22:18] * Jynaru nods.
[22:18] <Maris> "I need sleep.  Don't screw this up."
[22:18] <Tala> "May the Dragons protect us."
[22:18] * Maris walks back to the fire with a grunt.
[22:18] * Tala follows
[22:19] * Jynaru follows slowly back to the fire.
[22:21] * Tabius [~web-Guest@ip68-108-120-114.lv.lv.cox.net] has left IRC
[22:25] * Tala slaps Jynaru around a bit with a large trout
[22:26] * Jynaru shrugs.
[22:26] <Jynaru> Apparently, I'm not understanding the plan.
[22:26] <Jynaru> This is better than running off in the night and then coming back with them, too.
[22:26] <Tala> You, me, cic, san go off as planned
[22:27] <Tala> course arcing to intercept Tei and Coils at cove
[22:27] <Jynaru> Argh.
[22:27] <Tala> the whole "not let them know" thing
[22:39] <Tala> hmm... get empress-coils stoned on the dust.....
[22:39] * Jynaru pondered that, you know.
[22:39] <Jynaru> It's insanely powerful stuff.
[22:40] <Maris> Get her after we get Coils
[22:49] * Vanal (~ltermac@HSE-QuebecCity-ppp3497159.sympatico.ca) has joined #pvpexaltedrp1
[22:55] * Vanal (~ltermac@HSE-QuebecCity-ppp3497159.sympatico.ca) has left #pvpexaltedrp1
[22:57] <Jynaru> Joy.
[22:57] <Maris> joy yourself
[22:57] <Jynaru> Hopefully now they're less suspicious of me as figuring I'm a complete and total moron.
[22:57] * Vanal (~ltermac@HSE-QuebecCity-ppp3497159.sympatico.ca) has joined #pvpexaltedrp1
[22:58] <Storyteller> allright
[22:58] <Storyteller> we'll do that in here..
[22:59] * Cicada (Hikari@zaqd378a455.zaq.ne.jp) has joined #pvpexaltedrp1
[22:59] <Jynaru> "Oh. That. New plan."
[22:59] * Cathak_T (~web-Guest@ip68-108-120-114.lv.lv.cox.net) has joined #pvpexaltedrp1
[23:00] <Jynaru> "Tala? Want to speak on it?"
[23:00] <Cicada> "Yes, please keep your scouting element informed as much as you can. Precious cargo being transported and all.
[23:01] <Tala> "Remember the story about the 'solars' who went to the Eye?"
[23:02] * Cicada nods.
[23:02] * Cicada takes Sanyet's hand if he is close enough.
[23:02] <Tala> "And Coils wants us to lead an army there?"
[23:02] <Tala> "As many of the exalts on this island as we can?"
[23:02] <Cicada> "You are afraid we might get possessed as well?"
[23:02] <Cathak_T> "Its rather obvious what Coils intends."
[23:03] <Tala> "She is a demon."
[23:03] * Cicada blinks.
[23:03] * Jynaru nods. "Infernal in the ranks."
[23:04] <Cicada> "So that is what Forked River meant when he said she was 'demonic'. I believed it his aversion to all of salt water."
[23:04] <Tala> "And Coils is about to take full control of probably the most powerful anathema on this island."
[23:04] * Cicada suddenly gets up, looking frightened.
[23:04] <Jynaru> "Hence why we're going to kill her. Coils, I mean, not the Empress."
[23:04] <Cicada> "What about Tei?!"
[23:04] <Tala> "That depends on him and only him."
[23:05] <Cicada> "Forked River detected the same smell on him several times!"
[23:05] * Cicada looks about ready to rush back to the camp to rescue Tei somehow.
[23:05] <Jynaru> "Don't even think it, girl."
[23:05] <Tala> "Minnow said we must wait until they reach the cove."
[23:06] <Cicada> (is Tabius and Minnow in this group?)
[23:06] <Storyteller> Tabius is supposed to be..
[23:06] <Tala> "There he believes coils will release control briefly before it can make it permanent."
[23:07] <Tala> "
[23:07] <Cicada> "Minnow? What does she know of the danger to Tei?!"
[23:07] * Cathak_T is following the conversation well enough.
[23:07] <Cicada> "How do we know that she is not a demon too?!"
[23:07] <Tala> "We have to follow them to the cove and quickly."
[23:08] <Tala> "She is not."
[23:08] <Cathak_T> "She is not"
[23:08] * Jynaru sighs. "Danger to Tei? Well, she's clearly got a lot of influence over him. Maybe she desires a pet Infernal of her own after she acquires a body."
[23:08] <Tala> "Cicada, Coils is the only one who must be destroyed."
[23:08] * Cicada catches herself before managing to continue her tirade, mostly because of Tabius speaking up.
[23:09] <Tala> "Tei will do what he will do, and we will do what we must."
[23:09] <Tala> "Coils must be destroyed."
[23:10] <Tala> "We must get started. I know part of the way. Hopefully we can pick up the trail from there."
[23:10] <Cicada> "I understand. What can I do? I have not yet mastered the mind and the healing of it well enough to counter occult influences."
[23:10] <Tala> "I cannot fight Tei and restrain the demon."
[23:11] <Cicada> "So we must neutralize Tei..?"
[23:11] * Tala starts towards the cove as best she knows
[23:11] <Jynaru> "Occupy. I do hope it doesn't come to THAT extreme."
[23:11] <Tala> "Hopefully not."
[23:11] * Jynaru will of course follow after Tala.
[23:11] <Cathak_T> "Before we get there, I have something that might help us if we have a few minutes and the moon is in the right place.
[23:12] * Tala looks at Tabius.
[23:12] <Jynaru> "Oh? Care to explain? Anything that gets us there faster is good."
[23:12] <Cathak_T> "I have nothing that can get us all there faster, but I have a ritual that we can utilize to make us all
[23:12] <Cathak_T> "More prepaired and protected."
[23:13] <Tala> "All right."
[23:13] <Jynaru> "Possible after we get there? I doesn't do any good if we're late to the dance."
[23:14] <Cathak_T> "But it only lasts as long as the moon is in the sky."
[23:14] * Cicada looks ready to run off in the night this instant, but controls herself.
[23:14] <Storyteller> a tiny cherrub made of glowing light shoots through the night air, hovering near Tala'
[23:14] <Cathak_T> "After we get there, I believe that life will get very complicated and rituals are not for fighting.
[23:14] <Storyteller> it chatters rapidly in a language you can't understand
[23:14] <Jynaru> "I don't think we'll get there tonight."
[23:14] * Cathak_T listens to the cherrub.
[23:15] * Tala looks alarmed.
[23:15] <Jynaru> "Since it's the cove near the village from the beginning, it should take a while."
[23:15] <Tala> "We must move now. And swiftly."
[23:15] <Tala> "They are flying!"
[23:15] <Jynaru> "Flying? Shit."
[23:15] * Cicada sighs.
[23:15] * Cathak_T starts running.
[23:16] <Cicada> "And they are not likely to take the scenic route, I suppose."
[23:16] <Jynaru> "Of course not."
[23:16] * Tala heads towards the cove
[23:16] <Tala> "Straight there."
[23:16] * Cathak_T to his horse and gets it saddled.
[23:16] * Cicada first makes sure to arrange a marching order so we do not get split up during the feverish march, then RUNS.

[23:17] <Storyteller> Sanyet proves himself competent with the horse, manage to keep up with his wife
[23:17] * Cathak_T takes out a hearthstone from one artifact and places it in a second one.
[23:18] <Cicada> "Sanyet, remember to saty out of danger if you can in any way! Promise!" she calls to him as they leap through the woods.
[23:18] <Storyteller> "I promise!"
[23:18] <Storyteller> he says as he dodges through the trees
[23:18] * Jynaru chuckles.
[23:19] <Jynaru> "I'd have sent him off to the Sidereal alone if you hadn't insisted on being there, you know."
[23:19] <Cicada> "You should have known the impossibility of that, Ledaahl."
[23:20] * Jynaru shrugs. "Yeah, couldn't pry you two apart with a warstrider. Just figured I'd mention it."
[23:20] <Cicada> "You are such a morale booster. Wonder why you never gets team assignments."
[23:21] <Jynaru> "Because nobody else is in my league."

[23:27] <Storyteller> Sanyet looks at you worridly and then looks back, slowing down
[23:28] <Cathak_T> "I need no help Sanyet, I think she ment Tala. You wouldn't be able to pick me up anyways."
[23:29] <Tala> (i doubt a horse could carry him anyhow)
[23:29] <Cicada> (point)
[23:29] * Cicada is an useless woman who already have forgotten the ways of her earlier men. :)

[23:33] <Storyteller> allrigh
[23:34] <Storyteller> are you guys going to stick together (lowest total sux) or go off one at at time?
[23:34] <Jynaru> Hrm. Do we all know where we're going?
[23:35] * Cathak_T can see at night perfectly.
[23:35] <Storyteller> it's on the other side of the river
[23:35] <Storyteller> but you have to go all the way to the ocean
[23:35] <Storyteller> so you can't really get lost
[23:35] <Jynaru> Hrmmm...
[23:36] <Cicada> [Sticking together would be kind of good, we rather need Immaculate support]
[23:36] <Cicada> [Though I am sure Cic and a Mortal could handle things on their own just fine. Right?]
[23:36] <Jynaru> (True that. Tala's the cornerstone of the entire plan... Let's go with that. Maybe pool sux and divide?)
[23:37] <Jynaru> (the faster helping the slower along?)
[23:37] <Cathak_T> (*Yeah.....)
[23:37] * Cicada did set up some sort of marching order..
[23:37] <Storyteller> (it would be 5 dice
[23:37] <Cathak_T> (*or just a wind brake*)
[23:37] <Storyteller> (er 5 sux)'
[23:37] <Storyteller> (either way you're making legendary speed :p)
[23:37] <Jynaru> (5 sux will do nicely ^_^)
[23:38] <Storyteller> allright. one Stamina + Endurance roll
[23:38] <Storyteller> stunt if you like
[23:38] * Jydan [Jydan@dia-222.vaix.net] is on IRC
[23:40] * Cicada is in front, driving herself mercilessly, finding and clearing a path for the mounted companions.
[23:40] * Cathak_T keeps to a very fast pace, using fallen logs as spring boards. Using his heightened perception he keeps his feet on solid ground and root, giving him exactly the right footing to keep the ppace break neck.
[23:41] <Storyteller> +1 for Cicada and Tabius
[23:41] * Cicada does this my leaping from tree to tree, clearing away brushes with chakram throws and finding the easiest path from her elevated position.
[23:41] <Cathak_T> !ex 4 +1 (WP)
[23:41] <Storyteller> Cathak_T (4), 6, 2, 2, Successes : 1
[23:41] * Tala focuses her breathing, using immaculate training to retain her strength, her the importance of her goal fueling her body w/ strength
[23:41] * Jynaru blasts along the path with the speed of a falcon, utterly unwilling to listen to the screaming of his muscles and allow Cicada Or her mortal to show him up.
[23:41] <Cathak_T> (*????? on the roll?)

[23:44] <Cicada> * Sanyet makes a muttered comment on how he would wish his wife would tire just a little, just sometimes...
[23:45] <Cicada> (just high enough for nearby people and NOT Cic to hear)
[23:45] <Storyteller> :p
[23:46] * Jarp [acidmax@ACACED07.ipt.aol.com] is on IRC
[23:48] <Storyteller> you'll make good time but get wery as day drags on
[23:49] <Jynaru> (Rest is for the weak!)

[23:52] <Storyteller> !exm 5
[23:52] <Storyteller> Sanyet's horse is beginning to tire.
[23:52] <Storyteller> this ride will probably kill it.
[23:52] <Tala> !ex 4
[23:52] <Storyteller> Tala (4), 7, 4, 5, 5, Successes : 1
[23:53] <Storyteller> Tala you are at -1 to all dice now due to fatigue
[23:53] <Jynaru> (So we get him a new horse.)
[23:53] <Storyteller> it's his favorite horse
[23:54] * Cicada will certainly allow Sanyet to slow down to spare his horse. (need him alone to slap him anyway)
[23:54] <Tala> [fuqmi]
[23:55] <Jynaru> (How close are we getting?)
[23:55] <Storyteller> you're probably halfway there
[23:55] <Storyteller> you'll need to cross the river soon
[23:56] * Cathak_T fortunately has not had a break to recast ISoB yet. Crossing the river wont be as difficult.
[23:57] <Tala> [we see anima?]
[23:58] <Storyteller> nope
[23:58] <Storyteller> okay you arrive at the river.
[23:59] <Storyteller> Sanyet dismounts as his horse begins to fail him. slowing it down to a mere walk, he takes it's head in his hands as it begins to cough
[23:59] * Cicada goes to Sanyet's side and asks what is wrong.
[00:00] <Storyteller> he's trying to calm his horse down
[00:00] <Cicada> "Will your horse be okay?"
[00:01] <Storyteller> "I think so"
[00:01] <Storyteller> he looks out over the ocean and shakes his head.
[00:01] <Storyteller> "I'm on foot now."
[00:01] * Cicada finds some winterdry grasses to dry the horses flanks with. No need for it to get suddenly cold after a ride like that.
[00:02] <Storyteller> he looks at the rest of you as you arrive at the mouth of the delta at the sea
[00:02] * Cathak_T thanks the dragons that his breastplace has Ritual of Elemental Empowerment Air on it.
[00:02] * Storyteller assumes you guys had some kind of plan for crossing the river?
[00:03] <Tala> [how far are we?]
[00:03] <Storyteller> a matter of hours.
[00:03] <Storyteller> it'll take an hour to cross the river, maybe three or four to get to the cove.
[00:04] * Cicada calls to the others; "Remember you have to cross naked, and we need a sacrifice as well. I suppose I could ask Forked River just to carry us across, though."
[00:04] * Tala lets her anima infuse her body (5 personal)
[00:05] * Cicada and Sanyet share a short private moment caring for his horse.
[00:05] * Cathak_T starts striping down to his draws. He leaves the headband, collar, red bracers on his wrists and the circlet around his right thigh oon though/
[00:05] <Tala> "
[00:05] * Tala begins removing her armor, and bundling it with her pack
[00:05] <Jynaru> "Argh. this is just not my day."

[00:05] <Tala> "Why exactly is this necessary?"

[00:06] <Tala> !ex 3
[00:06] <Storyteller> Tala (3), 3, 6, 8, Successes : 1
[00:06] <Cicada> "Because it is Forked River's requirement to all who desire to cross him without freezing to death in his waters."

[00:06] <Storyteller> Cicada (2), 10, 8, Successes : 3

[00:07] <Storyteller> Cathak_T (4), 8, 5, 5, 5, Successes : 1

[00:08] <Jynaru> !ex 2
[00:08] <Storyteller> Jynaru (2), 4, 9, Successes : 1
[00:08] <Cicada> "A sacrifice requires a small animal, which I fear we do not have time to catch. I will just plea for his help."
[00:09] * Cicada goes to the edge of the river and pray solemnly.
[00:10] * Cathak_T checks again on the moon.
[00:10] <Storyteller> another cherub flies from the northeast.. more east than northa ctually, and flies over to tala, chittering excitedly
[00:10] * Cicada would like to avoid the two hours or so swimming across usually takes. Arguing that they are on their way to fight the salt water demon.
[00:11] <Storyteller> the water boils
[00:11] <Storyteller> <Old Realm> an ancient voice comes out from over the river
[00:11] <Storyteller> "It is a demon?"
[00:11] <Cicada> "We suspect that she is. And that she might be in league with Fallen Tounge."
[00:12] <Cicada> "How else would a being of salt water be able to surive on this island?"
[00:12] <Storyteller> ancient oaths fill the air with hatred.
[00:12] * Cicada is of course speaking Old Realm too.
[00:12] <Storyteller> roll a dice of lethal; your ears are bleeding from the words
[00:12] * Cathak_T wonders if he should put his cloths back on or not.

[00:14] <Jynaru> (bad ten! I told you to wait until I'm trying to hit somebody!)
[00:15] <Storyteller> the surface river explodes in fire, a path burning across like oil on water
[00:15] <Cicada> "That, is our way across, ladies and gentlemen."
[00:16] * Jynaru applauds. "Good job."
[00:16] <Storyteller> the fire dissipates in a moment to leave a bridge of ice
[00:16] * Cicada says a prayer of thanks to Forked River, then makes haste across.
[00:16] <Storyteller> <Old Realm> "Destroy it!" the voice says to you all. "Destroy it and let nothing stand in your way!"
[00:17] * Jynaru will follow across.
[00:17] <Storyteller> ok...
[00:17] * Cathak_T quickly dresses again and runs across.
[00:17] <Storyteller> * Sanyet has a private laugh at tabius before leaving his horse and running across
[00:18] * Tala dresses again
[00:18] * Tala crosses the river and once across releases the essence infusing her anima
