Sadler:	Sadler's sitting a bit away from, but still with, Iriel.
:	crackles is now known as Iriel
~DrMann:	She's quiet a moment.  Then, "Step softly, child.  Be polite, but do not blink.  Do not look away.  Never run unless you are sure you must.  Things that run are hunted."
:	Zoe Nickname is already in use.
Nioki:	Azi shuts another atlas. This one only had streets named Despair or Pineapple, depending on which direction one faced.
Dusty:	"Yes ma'am." Dusty nods blinking. He bows politely.

Iriel:	"Perhaps I should not go."
Todd_:	"Why not?"
Sadler:	"Eh, why not?"
Dusty:	Dusty scans the library. "Where is Billy..."
Iriel:	She shrugs. "She said they could be dangerous."
Zoe_Chantili:	"You'll be with us though."
Todd_:	"..."
Todd_:	"There are very many things here that are dangerous."
~DrMann:	"Ah, that reminds me.  Billy gave me something to give to you.  It had nearly slipped my mind."  She shakes out her bag onto the table, and the contents of Billy's safe tumble out.
Iriel:	"Yes, but in the Library they are forbidden from hurting me." She chews on the tip of the white feather.
Todd_:	"We will be fine."
Dusty:	"Ah...thank you."
Dusty:	Dusty picks up the vial of quintessence, and...a picture.
Todd_:	"Iriel. I am dangerous. Azi is dangerous. We are both going. It will be safe."
Dusty:	He stows the picture quickly, but carefully in his wallet.
Todd_:	"Although, I understand if you do not wish to go."
Nioki:	"Ye can hold me hand if it'd make ye feel better."
Todd_:	He seems to realize what exactly he is advocating.
Iriel:	snickers.
Dusty:	"Thank you very much Ma'am."
Dusty:	bows again.
Dusty:	"And pass my thanks to Billy as well?"
:	Doctor_Light has joined #WanderersLibrary
~DrMann:	"Of course."
Dusty:	"Thank you so much."
~DrMann:	"And...  Do not be afraid to look for help while you are there.  It may come from unexpected places."
Dusty:	"I'll remember, Ma'am."
Dusty:	"I have to go now. Thank you for your time."
:	Nioki is now known as Azi
~DrMann:	"Of course."  She goes back to her reading.
&MisterFlames:	"Are you ready, Dusty?"
Dusty:	"Yes. Todd, Sadler, could you help me move Andra on to her cart?"
Todd_:	"Sure."
Dusty:	Dusty moves to where Andra is."
Todd_:	Todd goes over to assist.
Azi:	Azi stands and walks over to Dusty.
CYBIL:	"Are we leaving to this forest place?"
Dusty:	"I'm going. I...I didn't think anyone wanted to come."
Todd_:	Todd shrugs.
Zoe_Chantili:	Zoe goes over do  watch and stay out of the way
Sadler:	Sadler walks over to Dusty.
Dusty:	Together they lift the pot and deposit it gently on the trolley Dusty got?
Zoe_Chantili:	"I'd like to come, if that'd be alright?"
Dusty:	"I don't mind anyone coming..."
&MisterFlames:	"I wish I could come with you, but I'll be too affected by it." Midnight says.  "Humans should be all right, but I'll be too distracted."
Todd_:	"Uh.."
Todd_:	"What about me?"
Sadler:	"... and the bugs?"
Azi:	"I dunno what'll happen t' me, but I'm goin!"
&MisterFlames:	"The bugs...  well, they might become more idealized.  Not sure.  You'll have to let me know."  Midnight's tail flicks.  "All right, then, follow me, I'll get you to the Forty Acre Wood."
Dusty:	"...what."
Dusty:	"Did you...you mean...really?"
&MisterFlames:	Midnight starts to walk along, heading to a particular door.
Dusty:	follows, pushing andra along.
Dusty:	He's got the bag of womens clothing, and the towel on the trolley as well.
:	Heiden_ has joined #WanderersLibrary
Azi:	Azi follows.
Sadler:	follows. the rodents following him had scattered away from Midnight.
Zoe_Chantili:	Zoe follows Midnight
Iriel:	drifts behind the gaggle a ways.
Todd_:	Todd follows! He sticks with iriel if possible.
CYBIL:	CYBIL follows behind the group, observing their actions
:	Heiden has quit IRC: Ping timeout
&MisterFlames:	Midnight regards the door a moment, then does a complicated shimmer with her whole body before clicking her teeth and head butting the Door.  The door opens obligingly to an old growth forest.
Todd_:	"..."
:	Heiden_ has quit IRC: Ping timeout
Dusty:	follows some more
Azi:	Azi peeks through the door.
Sadler:	"..." Sadler looks through.
&MisterFlames:	"All right, we're nearly there."  Midnight walks through the forest, and she looks around for the appropriate signs.  "Careful of the rings."
Todd_:	Todd steps through. He tugs iriel after him.
Dusty:	"...rings?"
Zoe_Chantili:	Zoe follows, looking around carefully
Dusty:	follows, keeping both eyes peeled..
Todd_:	"Fairy rings, I think."
Sadler:	takes up the rear. "I've heard of those..."
Azi:	Azi follows just behind Midnight, looking around the forest with interest.
&MisterFlames:	"Faerie rings, yes.  You get odd resonances here and there, in the more primal locations."
Iriel:	Whee.
Azi:	"What d' they do?"
Dusty:	"Ah."
Iriel:	looks right at home surrounded by trees, once she's ascertained there aren't any wolves around.
Dusty:	"Oh, everyone, when we get in the True Forest. Please, don't run, don't blink, be quiet, and don't look away."
CYBIL:	CYBIL regards the portal, calculating its dimensions, then steps through behind the group
Zoe_Chantili:	"Don't blink?"
Zoe_Chantili:	"For the whole time we're there?"
~DrMann:	There's a chittering sound in the trees above them.
Dusty:	"I don't know. It's what Miss Efi told me."
Sadler:	"..." Sadler looks up.
Todd_:	Todd glances upward.
&MisterFlames:	"Don't make yourself prey," Midnight says.
Grapewhistle:	Iriel: AAAH WHAT IS IT (perception): 6 (5+4df=-, 0, +, +)
Iriel:	5+4df AAAH WHAT IS IT (perception)
Zoe_Chantili:	"I'll do my best..."
~DrMann:	There's a monkey in the tree lookind down at them.
Todd_:	"Don't break your gaze, zoe."
Dusty:	"Let's just keep going calmly."
Iriel:	"...What on Earth is that?"
Todd_:	"Or they'll take out your throat."
Todd_:	"It's a monkey."
Azi:	"S' a monkey."
Zoe_Chantili:	"Right...opposite of gorillas."
Todd_:	"Sure."
~DrMann:	This is somewhat unexpected in English old growth forest.
Azi:	"Huh? Nah. S' more like a really small an' screechy gorilla."
Zoe_Chantili:	"I mean....never mind, explain later...."
Azi:	"I've only seen 'em in a zoo before..."
&MisterFlames:	Or a small and screechy human, thinks the little cat to herself.  She doesn't worry about the monkey, she seeks out the signs of the Way.
~DrMann:	Midnight doesn't see anything in particular.  However, the monkey is gesturing to the group.
~DrMann:	It jumps to another tree just a little ways away.
Dusty:	"...?" Dusty observes the monkey's gestures. "Midnight...a friend of yours?"
&MisterFlames:	"Ah?"  Midnight shifts.  "We may have a guide.  Be cautious."  She moves to follow.
Sadler:	chuckles
Dusty:	Dusty frowns, not sure about this, but follows, pushing the trolley.
Zoe_Chantili:	Zoe follows, looking around the forest, a city girl at heart.
Iriel:	trails after Todd. Yyyyyep. Looks pretty foresty.
Azi:	"Huh? How d'we know t' trust it?"
Todd_:	Todd literally has no idea what any of this is. Where are all the cars?
&MisterFlames:	"Instinct," Midnight replies.
CYBIL:	Cybil wonders what instinct feels like and moves along
~DrMann:	The monkey leads them down a path, which soon becomes only a trail.
Dusty:	"...midnight?"
Dusty:	is nervous.
&MisterFlames:	"Yes, Dusty?"
Sadler:	"Ugh..." Sadler notices all the bugs after him. This is why he avoids the forest, oh yeah.
Dusty:	"Are we sure this is a guide?"
Todd_:	Todd shrugs.
&MisterFlames:	"Not entirely, but I'm watching for other signs, too."
Dusty:	"Ok then..."
Azi:	Azi trusts Midnight, and takes her word for it.
~DrMann:	The trees are closer together.
&MisterFlames:	"Keep your eyes open and your wits about you," Midnight murmurs.
Dusty:	Dusty is highly alert.
Todd_:	Todd glances at iriel again.
CYBIL:	Cybil increases it photosensitivity
~DrMann:	There are more sounds in the trees around them.  The cries of birds, the chattering of little beasts, the hum of insects.
Iriel:	She is straight-faced, looking up at the patches of sky visible through the overgrowth.
Zoe_Chantili:	"You feeling alright Iriel? Still nervous?"
Iriel:	"I am never nervous."
~DrMann:	The trees have changed.  There were mostly beech trees before, but now there are oaks, pines, larches, eucalyptus...
Dusty:	totally brought shovel.
Sadler:	The bugs LOVE Sadler.
Dusty:	*shovels
Todd_:	"It will be okay." He squeezes her hand.
~DrMann:	The trees tower above you, and the area seems huge and close together all at once.
Zoe_Chantili:	"Must be nice...I'm nervous...never been in the woods like this before."
&MisterFlames:	"Yes..."  Midnight purrs softly.
~DrMann:	Everyone roll mental defense.
Todd_:	"Same."
Dusty:	"...getting there..."
Grapewhistle:	Dusty: Come on: 2 (4df+2=+, -, 0, 0)
Dusty:	4df+2 Come on
Grapewhistle:	Todd_: whoa: 5 (4df+2=0, +, +, +)
Todd_:	4df+2 whoa
&MisterFlames:	4df+3 Mental

Iriel:	4df+3 mdef
Zoe_Chantili:	4df
Grapewhistle:	Zoe_Chantili: 1 (4df=+, 0, -, +)
Todd_:	Mann, I was wrong, that should be a 3 not a 5
Todd_:	Apologies.
~DrMann:	Azi, Midnight, Iriel and Todd are able to shake off the effects.  Everyone else has now gained the temporary Aspect In the Old Wood's Shadow.
Todd_:	Todd hums quietly. The vast nature of the wood is lost on him.
Dusty:	"..." Dusty rubs his temple for a moment.
Dusty:	He continues pushing though.
Zoe_Chantili:	Zoe looks back up at the forest canopy nervously, her eyes darting from patch of sky to patch of sky.
Sadler:	Sadler takes a deep breath.
CYBIL:	Cybil is momentarily overloaded by the species of trees apparent but continues on
&MisterFlames:	Midnight shifts her walk a bit.  She's no longer walking proudly along, tail in the air.  At the moment now, she's stalking.
Iriel:	iiiis not bothered at all, for some reason. She revolves slowly on the spot, taking in her surroundings
Sadler:	"... So... yeah. Where are we giong again?" he brushes off a... oh fuck it's a cicada.
Todd_:	grabs her hand. "C'mon, silly."
Iriel:	"Where are we going?"
Dusty:	Dusty notes this change, and grimaces. "The True Forest. All other forests are it's reflection."
Azi:	Azi shakes his head, but shows no other reaction. He notices Midnight's change.
Dusty:	"Diluted versions of it."
~DrMann:	The Monkey is up above them.  It seems larger now.  Smarter.  It grins.
Todd_:	Todd looks at it.
Todd_:	"Hmmm."
Iriel:	"I don't know what that means."
Zoe_Chantili:	"Is...I think the trees are getting a bit closer together..." Zoe takes a deep breath and lets it out nervously.
~DrMann:	"Three favors.  Three!  One to bring you.  Next two, quickly!  Haven't got all day, I don't!"
Todd_:	"I feel like we are getting close."
Dusty:	"....what?"
Azi:	Azi's eyes snap to the monkey.
Iriel:	"We have two favors left."
Todd_:	"We h-yeh."
~DrMann:	"Three favors!  Done one.  Do the other two, go home, eat the fruit and termites."
Dusty:	looks at the monkey curiously.
Iriel:	"Will you show us where we can plant this creature?" She gestures to Andra.
Dusty:	"We are in the True Forest?"
~DrMann:	"I know good spot, great spot!  Meadow, not too far.  You like it, you'll see!"
Sadler:	brushes off a stick insect.
~DrMann:	The Monkey swings to the next branch, and then the next, until it's almost out of sight, before stopping and looking back impatiently.
Iriel:	follows it.
:	Heiden has joined #WanderersLibrary
Dusty:	hesitates.
Todd_:	Todd goes with her! Goddamnit iriel.
Zoe_Chantili:	Zoe follows after Iriel
Dusty:	He followa but says catching up. "Are we in the true forest?"
Sadler:	follows.
Dusty:	*follows
Iriel:	"I do not think the monkey would be speaking if this was not a mystical place..."
:	Bright_ is now known as Bright
~DrMann:	"Of course!  First favor to bring you here!  Two left, let's go!"
Todd_:	"Perhaps."
Dusty:	"There are many mystical places, Iriel."
Todd_:	"Midnight?"
&MisterFlames:	Midnight follows as well.  In for a penny.  "Follow."
Dusty:	"Midnight, I thought...you weren't coming?"
Todd_:	"..."
Dusty:	follows.
Todd_:	Todd follows after it.
Sadler:	Funny, the bugs aren't crawling on Sadler's skin, but on the outside of his coat. He follows behind.
:	Heiden_ has joined #WanderersLibrary
CYBIL:	Cybil follows, looking at the foliage
&MisterFlames:	"Apparently I am already here."  Midnight acknowledges.  "Keep a look out on me a little.  My instincts might get the better of me."
Dusty:	"I will."
Zoe_Chantili:	"Right..."
Azi:	Azi scans the forest, looking for dangers.
Todd_:	"Would you like me to carry you, just in case?"
:	Heiden has quit IRC: Ping timeout
&MisterFlames:	"Can't hurt, Todd."
Dusty:	keeps scanning their surroundings every so often.
Todd_:	Todd nods, and picks her up gently.
~DrMann:	The Monkey leads them through the trail.  Azi and Midnight can smell traces of many animals, from rodents to great cats to elephants.
Azi:	4df+5
~DrMann:	Everyone roll Perception.  Those with In the Old Wood's Shadow get +1 to the roll.
Todd_:	"Huh."
Azi:	"Lotta scents 'ere. S' like a zoo inna forest."
Grapewhistle:	CYBIL: 3 (4df+3=+, -, -, +)

Todd_:	4df nose like a fish
Grapewhistle:	Azi: 3 (4df+5=+, -, -, -)

:	Heiden_ has quit IRC: Ping timeout
Sadler:	"you're telling me..." Sadler shakes off a bunch of quite lovely but still rather clingy bugs form his coat.
Zoe_Chantili:	4df+2
Grapewhistle:	Zoe_Chantili: 0 (4df+2=-, 0, 0, -)
~DrMann:	Iriel and Dusty see it.  It's tough to make out in the bushes there, with the sun-dappled foliage there producing its own stripes of black and yellow, but you gradually make out the long, muscular body, the green eyes, and the flicking tail.
Zoe_Chantili:	((sorry, that should be 1)
Dusty:	"...." Dusty continues moving calmly. "Stay calm iriel...don't be scared..."
Iriel:	is juuuuust about to run off in the other direction. She doesn't. Instead she bows.
Todd_:	"What?"
Zoe_Chantili:	"Do you see something?"
Dusty:	"Shhhh...just keep walking like normal..."
Dusty:	proceeds at a even pace.
~DrMann:	The Tiger slowly makes its way into the open.  The Monkey screeches and vanishes into the canopy.
Todd_:	Todd is irreverant. He tugs her along with one hand. "Listen to dusty please"
Todd_:	"Ulp."
Dusty:	"Relax..."
~DrMann:	"Such manners."
Sadler:	Sadler works to stay at an even pace. Just ignore oh god damn another stickbug
Azi:	Azi stares at its eyes, unmoving.
~DrMann:	The Tiger steps in front of Iriel, and returns her bow.
&MisterFlames:	"They are new to the ways here, Rajah," Midnight replies.
Todd_:	"..."
Iriel:	She tries very hard not to blink.
Dusty:	steps around from the trolley and bows to the tiger.
Todd_:	Todd steps back and bows as well.
CYBIL:	Cybil snaps back from the foliage as it notices something amiss
Todd_:	It is an awkward bow.
:	Heiden__ has quit IRC: Ping timeout
Azi:	Azi bows, never looking away from the tiger's eyes.
Zoe_Chantili:	Zoe bows down, and meets the Tiger's eyes. "Apologies if we have been rude."
Todd_:	Todd stares at it intently.
CYBIL:	Cybil notices the others and bows in accordance
~DrMann:	"What is your business here in my forest?"
Sadler:	Sadler bows, deep breath.
Iriel:	"We are looking for a place to plant this creature." She points to Andra.
Iriel:	"After this task is complete, we will leave."
Dusty:	"She is my daughter."
:	Bright is now known as O5-6
:	Heiden has joined #WanderersLibrary
~DrMann:	"A plant," the tiger says with distaste.  "Not terribly appetizing.  Not for myself, anyway.  Perhaps I will let you go."  Its tail thrashes behind it.
~DrMann:	"Then again, I am hungry.  Or...  Hmm.  You have clever hands.  Small hands."  It tilts its head and looks at Iriel contemplatively.
~DrMann:	"I need a service."
Todd_:	Todd stiffens.
Sadler:	...
Dusty:	watches, impassively.
Iriel:	"What do you ask of me?"
Iriel:	"I shall try." She approaches the big kitty.
~DrMann:	"I asked the Monkey, but he, ah, declined to leave his tree."
Todd_:	"...."
~DrMann:	"I ate a little bird today, and now my mouth is bothering me.  Something is stuck in my teeth.  Will you pull it out?"
Azi:	Azi stares, waiting to see if it attacks.
:	Heiden has quit IRC: Ping timeout
Todd_:	Todd places a hand over his mouth for a moment.
Zoe_Chantili:	"Be...careful Iriel...."
~DrMann:	The tiger opens its mouth wide.  Its mouth is wide and cavernous.  The teeth go back much farther than it seems they should.
Iriel:	She looks for stray tiny bones...bits of beak...talons...shredded feathers...
Sadler:	tries to look away, but can't really.

:	Tom90deg has joined #WanderersLibrary
~DrMann:	"Much," the tiger says.  "My thanks.  You may go on your way.  I am not so hungry now."
Todd_:	Todd relaxes.
~DrMann:	The tiger vanishes back into the underbrush.
Dusty:	nods.
Todd_:	And... a sigh of relief.
Dusty:	"Thank you iriel."
Iriel:	She digs a small hole in the ground, buries the broken bone, and covers it up with dirt.
Iriel:	"Shall we go on?"
Azi:	Azi keeps watching the forest, especially where the tiger departed.
Dusty:	"Mmm."
Todd_:	He gives her a quick hug after he is done. "Are you okay?"
~DrMann:	"Is he gone?" asked the Monkey, hanging by his tail from a branch.
Todd_:	She is done*
Sadler:	"Yes." He glares at Monkey.
Dusty:	"Yes. Will you lead us again?"
:	Tom90deg is now known as Zoe_Chantili
&MisterFlames:	"He's gone, thank you."
Zoe_Chantili:	"That was very brave of you Iriel."
Iriel:	She nods at Todd and touches his arm for a moment. "It was not so bad."
~DrMann:	"Yes, quick, quick-as-quick!  Let's go!"  The Monkey swings forward, leading them onward again.
Dusty:	follows at an even pace.
Todd_:	"I was terrified. You must be very brave." He smiles,and then picks up midnight again and moves on.
Sadler:	follows
Zoe_Chantili:	Zoe follows
&MisterFlames:	"It was, yes."  Midnight says nothing more, although she considers matters.  This is an Ideal, after all, and Stories can have power here.
Azi:	Azi follows quickly.
Iriel:	trots along.
Zoe_Chantili:	"Don't suppose we'll have a lion with a thorn in it's paw?"
~DrMann:	They soon come to a clearing.  The Monkey looks nervously around, and then gingerly sets down on the ground.  He walks on all fours to the center, and then pats the ground.  "Here!  Fine dirt, all fine for plants!  Plenty sun.  Everything you need.  Two favors!  Two done!"
&MisterFlames:	"This is an English forest, not a Greek one.  Besides, Lions are of the savannah."
Dusty:	"Thank you, Monkey."
Sadler:	"..."
Dusty:	Dusty takes a shovel, and begins digging sedately where the Monkey directed.
:	Heiden has joined #WanderersLibrary
Zoe_Chantili:	"Heh I don't think there's tigers in an english forrest either, I'm sure someone would've mentioned."
Azi:	Azi sniffs the ground.
Todd_:	Todd looks around.
Todd_:	"Midnight, shall I put you down?"
Zoe_Chantili:	"Need any help digging Dusty?"
Iriel:	"I've certainly never seen a tiger in England." She clasps her hands behind her back and stares up at the sky.
&MisterFlames:	"True, but the Tiger is the symbol of India."  Midnight hops down.  "Thank you."
Dusty:	"Please."
Todd_:	"Me neither."
Dusty:	"Thank you Zoe."
Zoe_Chantili:	Zoe picks up a shovel and starts to dig as well.
~DrMann:	"Dig quick, double quick.  Too open.  To open."  Now that the Monkey's arrived in the clearing, it looks very nervous.
Zoe_Chantili:	"But India's not been part of England for a long time, unless you count Cricket."
Sadler:	as well. Fuck off mantis i'm trying to dig.
&MisterFlames:	Midnight runs to a tree and climbs it, finding a perch to watch.
Dusty:	They finish digging after a few minutes?
Azi:	Azi looks up at the monkey.
Iriel:	glances around for anything weeeeeird
~DrMann:	As they dig, they hear something howling...
Sadler:	"... shit."
Todd_:	"Iriel tell me if you see some- oh dear."
Sadler:	rarely swears
Zoe_Chantili:	"I think we need to dig fast."
Todd_:	He grabs her hand.
&MisterFlames:	"Do not think like prey!" Midnight says.
:	Heiden_ has joined #WanderersLibrary
Dusty:	"...that was a Tiger...we haven't met the Wolf...stay calm everyone. Speed is for prey."
Sadler:	"Wasy for YOU to say."
Todd_:	"We will be okay."
~DrMann:	Everyone with In the Shadow of the Old Wood, you feel the hairs on the back of your neck rise, as the sound sends chills down your spines.  It touches something deep inside of you.  Something primal.
Iriel:	She gloms onto Todd's arm like one of those fish with suckhole mouths.
Sadler:	Lamprey
Azi:	Azi tries to pinpoint the distance and direction of the howl.
Todd_:	Todd keeps a an arm around midnight with the other.
Dusty:	Dusty feels afraid, but tries to push it down, and finish digging.
Zoe_Chantili:	Zoe's breath starts to come faster as she digs, trying to keep down rising panic from the howl.
Sadler:	Sadler is not good. Nope.
~DrMann:	You are not the top of the food chain.  You do not belong here.  The forest can take you at any time, and deep down, you know it.  Everything is watching you.
Sadler:	he shovels awkwardly, not really paying much attention.
:	Heiden has quit IRC: Ping timeout
Dusty:	"I will plant Andra here, and I will feed her quintessence, and I will take her home, and we will all be *fine*." He tries to reassure himself.
Azi:	"I wonder how wolf tastes."
Iriel:	"Tough and gamy."
Todd_:	Todd bears his fangs. Where he comes from, he -is- the top of the food chain."
&MisterFlames:	"Gamey."
:	Heiden has joined #WanderersLibrary
Iriel:	She shrugs.
Todd_:	"It is probably not good."
Dusty:	Is the hole finished?
Zoe_Chantili:	"Ever had south korean?" Zoe lets out a high laugh as she breathes fast, digging messily.
Azi:	"I dunno. Dogs taste pretty good. Though I guess I ent had many."
Dusty:	"Please...stay calm." Dusty tries to say this steadily.
~DrMann:	The hole is not quite done when the grey and black shapes burst from the treeline.
&MisterFlames:	"Turn toward them, do not let them circle!"
Todd_:	Todd positions himself between Iriel, and the nearest,and drops midnight.
Dusty:	Dusty looks up. He fights the urge to bolt.
Todd_:	His fangs are all the way out now.
&MisterFlames:	Midnight's already up a tree.
:	Heiden_ has quit IRC: Ping timeout
Dusty:	"Please remain calm, everyone."
Zoe_Chantili:	Zoe spins around, holding the shovel up and stares at the nearest figure, her heart pounding and breath going rapidly.
Azi:	Azi's back hunches, and his fingers become claws. He stares at the wolves.
Sadler:	Sadler wheels around.
Todd_:	"Azi, you will eat well tonight, friend."
Dusty:	"We are not here to fight."
~DrMann:	Everyone with In the Shadow of the Old Woods, you take -1 to your defense, but get +1 to attacks for the remainder of this scene.  You're keyed up.  You're fast, but you're making mistakes, and it's you almost want to break and run.
Dusty:	observes the gathered shapes intensely.
Dusty:	moves back a little positioning himself in front of Andra.
~DrMann:	The wolves are circling the group.  They're huge beasts, bigger than mastiffs.  One the size of a horse is watching from just beyond the circle of teeth and glowing eyes.
~DrMann:	When did it become night?  Wasn't it daylight just a minute ago?
Sadler:	"..." Sadler is not happy.
~DrMann:	At least the moon is bright.
Azi:	Azi lets out a harsh hissing scream, and his teeth turn to angular fangs.
Iriel:	She taps Todd on the shoulder. "Should I run?"
Todd_:	"NoA"
Todd_:	"No!"J
Dusty:	"No."
:	Heiden_ has joined #WanderersLibrary
&MisterFlames:	"Don't run.  They'll attack."
Sadler:	"Stay, Iriel. They chase if you run."
Dusty:	"We stand our ground."
Todd_:	"Do not run, ever."

Grapewhistle:	MisterFlames: Healing magic, plus whatever mods you feel like.: 1 (4df+2=+, -, -, 0)
Grapewhistle:	DrMann: Wounds: 4 (4dF+2=-, +, +, +)
~DrMann:	4dF+2 Wounds
~DrMann:	Sadler's injuries are resisting the healing magic.
Dusty:	"...do you want a circle, midnight?"
:	Rights has joined #WanderersLibrary
Azi:	Azi kicks at one of the corpses, and the claws sprouting from his feet lodge in it. He yanks them out, spilling the dead wolf's innards.
&MisterFlames:	"Yes, Dusty, and some help, please."
Zoe_Chantili:	Zoe examines the wolfs, seeing if any are still alive.
Azi:	"Want me t' draw one?"
Dusty:	Dusty leans down, and tries to sketch out a circle on well, any avaiable patch of cloth.
Grapewhistle:	Dusty: Circlan: 4 (4df+5=+, -, 0, -)
Dusty:	4df+5 Circlan
~DrMann:	There are one or two still alive.  The one hit by the shovels is merely unconscious.  Another is badly battered, but still breathing.
Zoe_Chantili:	Zoe looks for that old one who first attacked her, if it's still around.
~DrMann:	It was one of the ones that went chasing after the Cat.
&MisterFlames:	4df+3 Charged Circle.
Grapewhistle:	MisterFlames: Charged Circle.: 0 (4df+3=-, 0, -, -)
Zoe_Chantili:	Zoe heads over to one of the unconsious ones and looks at it. "HEy guys, some of these are still alive..."
~DrMann:	Dusty, it's about time to plant Andra.
Dusty:	removes sadler as gently as possible, and tries to plant andra.
Azi:	"Oh. Can I kill 'em?"
Sadler:	He is gently moved
~DrMann:	Thankfully, this involves no dice rolling, or you would probably end up burying yourself alive.
Zoe_Chantili:	"No...They're unconsious."
Dusty:	"I'm sorry, Sadler...we'l lfix you in abit..."
Azi:	"Yeah, so?"
Todd_:	"Everyone... shhh."
@pooryoric:	andra's pot comes off with a bit of effort, and her exposed roots writhe gently, probing for soil.
Zoe_Chantili:	"No need to be cruel. How we treat our enemies is just as important as how we treat our friends."
Todd_:	He grabs Iriel's hand.
Sadler:	Groan. He grips his side.
Dusty:	gently sinks Andra into the earth.
@pooryoric:	as soon as they touch the loam at the bottom of the hole, they delve deep, pulling andra's pod into place.
Zoe_Chantili:	Zoe turns around and watches Iriel's pod planting.
Dusty:	fills the hole with earth.
Iriel:	"We should find Mr. Shank or Mr. Finn when we return..."
Dusty:	He unstops the vial of quintessence, and stands, waiting.
Todd_:	"Shhh..."
Sadler:	Sadler is... kinda aware. Anyone who's almost blacked out but not quite should know how it feels.
Dusty:	is trembling somewhat.
@pooryoric:	the moon high overhead lends an eerie light to the scene as andra's pod softly quivvers under dusty's touch. something pops, softly.
&MisterFlames:	"I'm not able to get anything done here."
Azi:	Azi sits back to watch, quieting down.
@pooryoric:	with a series of soft pops, a tendril near the top of the pod tears itself loose and jerks all the way down the side of the pod, splitting the smooth flesh as it goes.
Dusty:	"...." Dusty inhales sharply.
Iriel:	hides her eyes. The noises are grossing her out just a touch.
Todd_:	"...."
@pooryoric:	the air is filled with an odd scent, crisp and clean, like a cross between celery and wildflowers.
Zoe_Chantili:	"Wow..."
Azi:	Azi resists the urge to cough.
@pooryoric:	pollen erupts from the top of the podd and drifts out into the night.
Dusty:	breathes deep.
Zoe_Chantili:	Zoe covers her mouth and nose
Dusty:	He doesn't care about allergies or asthma right now.
Azi:	He covers his nose and mouth with his shirt.
Iriel:	sneezes!
Todd_:	Todd stands stock still.
Sadler:	coughs. ach
@pooryoric:	slowly, the crack down the side of the pod begins to split. an odd fluid, like sap the color of fine white wine, begins to spill out. fingertips emerge from the crack and begin to pull hard on both sides.
Dusty:	"Ah...."
@pooryoric:	with a tremendous crack, the pod splits, and a girl, completely naked and soaked in fragrant sap bursts gasping out into the air, falling nearly into dusty's lap. "ah!"
Dusty:	Dusty is ready for this and gently hugs the girl in his arms, stumbling a bit all the same.
Dusty:	"Andra? Listen, it's me, Dusty, you need to drink this..."
Sadler:	Sadler opens an eyelid. Eh. He closes it.
Iriel:	makes an intensely disgusted noise and jumps back a few steps.
:	Todd_ has quit IRC: Connection reset by peer
:	Todd_ has joined #WanderersLibrary
@pooryoric:	her fingertips press gently against his shoulders and she gently exhales into his ear. "will you take me, my love?"
Zoe_Chantili:	Zoe walks over to the pile of clothes, and picks up some, ready to give Dusty when he needs it.
Todd_:	Todd shifts, -awkwardly-
Iriel:	"Ew."
Azi:	Azi might be embarrassed. The shirt covering his face makes it hard to tell.
Todd_:	"Sh."
@pooryoric:	her eyes open for the first time- they're entirely green, with no iris or pupil. just green spheres in an unusually thin face.
Dusty:	nods, after checking the moon to sees it's in the right spot, gently turns her head so he can look at her. "Drink..." He touches the vial to Andra's lips, and attempts to feed it to her.
@pooryoric:	she sips it, totally obedient.
@pooryoric:	her eyes widen.
@pooryoric:	"ah...?"
Dusty:	smiles. "Zoe, the blanket, please..."
Dusty:	"Hello Andra."
@pooryoric:	and then, with all the force her newly emerged frame can muster, andra slaps dusty hard across the face.
Zoe_Chantili:	Zoe picks up the blanket and hands it over, still watching in awe.
Dusty:	"Ow..."
Azi:	Azi starts, but doesn't get up.
Iriel:	"Oh."
Zoe_Chantili:	"Um....Miss? Blanket for you...."
@pooryoric:	she stands. "what have you -done-?"
Iriel:	"Todd, is this how...?"
Todd_:	"Shhh. Later. I promise."
Todd_:	Todd why would you promise that D:
Dusty:	stands, and just wraps the blanket around Andra. "I gave you your own will. I'm sorry, for everything."
Dusty:	He steps back.
@pooryoric:	she pulls away, throwing the blanket aside.
@pooryoric:	"I had a -purpose-!"
Dusty:	"...A-andra..."
Dusty:	"I...I..."
:	Zoe_Chantili is now known as Tom90deg
@pooryoric:	"you monster. you sick, adulterous fiend. I was created to serve you, to belong to you completely, and now you cast me aside?"
Dusty:	Dusty looks like he's about to crumple, but on the inside. "No! I just wanted you to live your own life! to not be bound to me!"
@pooryoric:	"get away from me."
Dusty:	"Andra...please...I love you, you're my daughter..."
@pooryoric:	"daughter!" she spits, a viscous green liquid that sizzles and burns through the leaves it lands on. "what fool thinks to take a mandrake for a daughter? if you knew the lore as I do, with the memories of all the mandrake ever to come before me, to live alongside me as kin, you would destroy yourself for such an insult."
@pooryoric:	"were I not -cursed- to love you with every fiber of my being, dustin cole, I would seek to kill you myself. now go. leave me. I would be alone."
Dusty:	"...I...will you come back with me? Later? I'm sorry...I do love you Andra..."
@pooryoric:	she steps back into her pod and curls up in the foetal position. "go -away-!"
@pooryoric:	"mandrakes are not -supposed- to have free will you -moron-."
Dusty:	takes the clothes, and blanket. He sets them in front of Andra. "Andra...I wanted...I want you to have everything. Please, I don't want you to go away. I want you to stay with me. I'm sorry I hurt you."
Sadler:	bleeds a bit.
@pooryoric:	"I had only one reason to live. I had a glorious purpose. I knew what I was, why I was. you stole it. I can feel it now in every mandrake that lives, the pulse of service and reason and purpose and unity, and you took it -away-."
Sadler:	oh good the bugs are staubing the wound.
@pooryoric:	gross sadler
Sadler:	yep.
Todd_:	"Perhaps..." he murmers to iriel. "Perhaps we should go."
Iriel:	"The lady said to remain here for long is bad."
Todd_:	He nods.
Dusty:	"I...I'll never know what I've taken from you. I can only promise that I'll give you as much as I can. Andra, you saved my life the day we met. I'm the one that ought to serve you...please, let me take you back?"
@pooryoric:	"yes. you should." andra says, bitterly. "leave me here to root and rot, and perhaps the Forest can profit by this fool's actions."
Azi:	"I ent leavin'."
Todd_:	"..."
Dusty:	"A-andra..."
@pooryoric:	"go -away-."
@pooryoric:	she steps down from her pod.
Azi:	*loves
Azi:	"Ye know e' love ye, right? I'm gettin' bloody sick o' all this."
@pooryoric:	"go away."
@pooryoric:	andra turns to look balefully at azi.
Sadler:	//noooooooo//
Azi:	"No. I named ye. I ent leavin' ye t' rot. Ye are a person."
Sadler:	He groans.
@pooryoric:	"look down, you fool."
@pooryoric:	she points at her feet. they've begun to take root.
Todd_:	Todd gently tugs on iriel and creeps away.
Iriel:	"No, we must wait. We have injured."
Todd_:	"Give them space" he says in a hushed tone.
Dusty:	"A-andra..." Dusty stands looking at her feet. "W-what's...why..."
:	Rights is now known as Esme
@pooryoric:	"he gave me free will. allow me to excersize it. I have choice? then I choose to remain, and to serve this Forest as I -should- have served -him-."
Dusty:	"No!"
Iriel:	She goes over to Sadler and attempts to hoist him up by the armpits. Sadler y u so fat.
Azi:	"Why don't ye serve 'im anyway?"
@pooryoric:	"mandrake is nothing without a purpose. I have chosen mine."
Azi:	"Y'know, choose to?"
@pooryoric:	she blinks.
@pooryoric:	"because he's a moron."
Azi:	"S" a purpose, innit?"
Todd_:	Todd sighs, and helps her out. He grows pale as he approaches. Sadler y u so delicious
&MisterFlames:	"Yes, Dusty."  Midnight replies.  "She chooses this.  You gave her the gift of choice, now *live* with it!"
Azi:	"Yeah, an' ye don't seem much better. Ye both 're gonna die if this keeps up."
@pooryoric:	from the roots at her feet, bark begins to climb, crawling up her legs and knitting them together, rushing up her belly.
Sadler:	Sadler leans more on iriel than Todd. Why u so hungry todd
:	Esme has left #WanderersLibrary
Dusty:	"Andra, oh god, please..."
~DrMann:	"Need t'go?"  The Monkey is looking out of the leaves of the trees nearby.
Iriel:	"Mr. Cole, it seems there is nothing you can do, and Mr. Sadler will die if we do not return quickly."
@pooryoric:	"this Forest needs a keeper. I need a purpose." the bark rushes up past her shoulders, and just before it reaches her lips she spits again at dusty. "and -you- need to -leave-."
~DrMann:	"Gotta go soon.  Not safe."
~DrMann:	"Smell the blood.  Everyone smells the blood, and be here, quick and quick!"
&MisterFlames:	"Right, sir.  We have to *leave*."
Iriel:	She staggers towards the beaten path. "Our final favor," she says to the Monkey. "Lead us back."
Dusty:	"..."
Azi:	Azi looks up at Andra.
@pooryoric:	within moments, the bark has covered her, and branches burst from her arms and throat and head. she is a tree, and growing -fast-.
Todd_:	"Let's go, Dusty. It is over."
Sadler:	heavy sigh. annoyed grunt.
Todd_:	Todd sounds actually regretful.
@pooryoric:	the ground begins to split as roots whip up around the tree, nearly throwing dusty to the ground./
&MisterFlames:	Midnight starts to move and quickly.
Sadler:	is dragged by iriel and Todd. he's slightly taller than both, so, yeah
Azi:	"Y'know what? I'm tired o' this. I'm really gettin' sick o' people."
Dusty:	Dusty backs up hurriedly. "Andra! God damn it! St-stop being a tree!"
Azi:	Azi follows, waving to the rapidly growing Andra as he runs.
~DrMann:	"Got it, got it!"  The monkey suddenly gives out a terrifyingly loud screech.  It hurts your eardrums.  It's answered by other chittering voices.  Other Monkeys appear, and Lemurs, and even some gibbons and tarsiers.
Todd_:	"Dusty! Come on!"
Iriel:	"Ow." She covers one ear with her free hand.
@pooryoric:	the tree is growing dangerously fast. you need to move.
Dusty:	backs away as slowly as he can afford to.
~DrMann:	The Monkey starts giving orders in chitters and screeches.  Vines are woven together in an instant, and Sadler is loaded into it.
Todd_:	"..."
@pooryoric:	enormous thorns cover its branches and the roots that whip at your feet.
Todd_:	"Thank you."
Todd_:	Todd returns to a normal color.
Iriel:	bounds over to Dusty.
~DrMann:	Dozens of hands grab Dusty by the arms and shoulders and pull him up into the branches of the trees.
Iriel:	"Bzuh?"
Todd_:	Todd grabs iriel and holds her back.
Todd_:	"It's too late."
~DrMann:	"C'mon!  C'mon!  Quick, double-quick!  Last favor!  Then fruits and termites!  Fruits and termites!"
Todd_:	Oh whoops
Iriel:	She turns sharply and darts down the trail.
Todd_:	Todd runs after her!
Sadler:	a small swarm of flying insects of all shapes follow Sadler.
~DrMann:	Dusty finds himself being thrown from branch to branch in a procession led by the Monkey.
~DrMann:	Sadler is handled somewhat more gently.
&MisterFlames:	Midnight left all of you monkeys far behind.  She's a cat, and forests are her ground.
Dusty:	"..." Dusty just sobs as he's carried away.
Todd_:	Todd grew up in the city! This is not his ground! He trips several times.
Iriel:	Iriel is just fast. Whatevs.
~DrMann:	Very soon, the trail grows to a path again.  The sounds start to die away.  The procression becomes smaller, until Dusty and Sadler are lowered to the ground, and then there is only the Monkey.
Iriel:	She skids to a stop and bows quickly to the Monkey. "Thank you," she says breathlessly.
~DrMann:	The group is back in England.  The monkey looks like just an animal again.  It looks solemnly at the group for a moment, then vanishes intot he trees.
Sadler:	the bugs land on Sadler. Oh cool moths and butterflies. And a mantis.
Todd_:	Todd bumbles into iriel.
Todd_:	"Whoops! Sorry.N
Todd_:	"*
Dusty:	follows, stifling his sobs.
Iriel:	trails after Midnight, trying reeeeeally hard not to fall over under Sadler's fat ass
&MisterFlames:	Midnight heads to the Way back.
&MisterFlames:	"Follow me...  we need to get Sadler treated."
Todd_:	Todd follows.
Iriel:	"Come," she says, looking around for the way back to the Library.
Azi:	Azi is actually crying a little. He keeps walking.
Azi:	Azi walks off to the side. He looks like a little boy again.
Todd_:	Todd helps out!
@pooryoric:	eventually, they return to the Library
Dusty:	returns to his place immediately.
Iriel:	Iriel dumps Sadler atop a table and scurries off to look for a healer-type.
Sadler:	Sadler is dumped. :(
Azi:	Azi walks straight to Desiderata's table.
@pooryoric:	story of sadler's life
Sadler:	:(
@pooryoric:	always the bridesmaid, yadda yadda
Sadler:	Well, if he had friends while vagranting
Sadler:	but alas
Iriel:	She returns with Finn. Quite a lot of blood is oozing out of his mouth and he's enveloped in white flames.
Todd_:	"...."
@pooryoric:	...wut
Todd_:	"Finn you don't look so hot."
Iriel:	"Yo."
Iriel:	"No, I'm cool."
Todd_:	He sniffs the air.
Iriel:	"/You/, my man," he says to Sadler, "look like complete shit."
Sadler:	Unconscious, now.
Sadler:	Bugs are clotting his sounds, though
Sadler:	wounds too
Todd_:	Blood smell?
Sadler:	I assume so.
Todd_:	From finn
Iriel:	Why yes, he smells of blood. His voice sounds weird.
Iriel:	4+4df MEDICALNESS
Grapewhistle:	Iriel: MEDICALNESS: 2 (4+4df=-, 0, -, 0)
Iriel:	2+4df two, right :|
Sadler:	4df+2 i'm bleeding here.

:	Iriel is now known as crackles
crackles:	yoric do i win
:	Azi is now known as Nioki
Todd_:	Todd is a bit to tired to care about finn. He wanders off to somewhere solitary, but where iriel can still see him.
crackles:	okay fine, i win
crackles:	since he won't answer
crackles:	Sadler is now TOTALLY FINE
~DrMann:	Sure.
Sadler:	coughs. "... Took you fucking long enough..."
crackles:	"I literally /just/ got here."
crackles:	"But fine, if you wanna be an ingrate."
Sadler:	He shakes his head. "Sorry... Thanks, Finn..."
Sadler:	brushes the bugs out of the now closing wounds. "I'm going to need a new coat..."
Todd_:	Todd lays back on the bookshelf, and yawns.
crackles:	"Oh, er."
crackles:	Finn takes off his coat and drops it on Sadler's head.
crackles:	"I'm not cold anyway."
Todd_:	waves at iriel.
Sadler:	"...Thanks. I'm okay right now..."
crackles:	Finn oozes mouthblood on his way towards his usual corner and vanishes.
crackles:	Iriel climbs up to Todd's spot.
crackles:	"...Hello."
Todd_:	"Hi."
Todd_:	He yawns again.
Todd_:	"I am tired."
Sadler:	"..." he sighs. his Mouse hops out of his old coat and climbs into his hair.
Todd_:	"Oh! Didn't you have a question?"
&MisterFlames:	"We can get you another coat," Midnight says.
:	O5-1 is now known as Bright
:	Sadler is now known as Dexa
crackles:	"Yes. But I've forgotten it." She gives Todd a hug. Her hands and feet are covered in dirt from digging.
:	Dusty has left #WanderersLibrary
Dexa:	"... yeah, of course." He sighs.
Todd_:	"Are you feeling okay?"
Nioki:	Azi sits at Desiderata's table, and waits.
Todd_:	He hugs her back, but decides he'd rather not let go and ends up with an arm around her. Crafty.
&MisterFlames:	"I've got things like that at my house."
crackles:	"I suppose." She kinda looks like she doesn't know how to react.
Todd_:	"That's good. I was worried about you, back there."
Dexa:	Sadler sits on the edge of the table. Great. Pretty much dead weight. Well, at least others weren't killed.
crackles:	"You were the one who got hurt."
Todd_:	"I did not get hurt, but you almost died."
Todd_:	He has an edge to his voice now, but it's not directed at her.
Dexa:	"It's alright, Midnight. Last house I went in is full of cockroaches still."
crackles:	"No. I helped the tiger. He helped me." She picks dirt out from under her fingernails.
crackles:	"But now Mr. Cole will be sad forever."
Dexa:	RE: Roachwave
Todd_:	"I owe him."
Todd_:	"Dusty will be okay, eventually. But we should take extra care to be nice to him."
crackles:	"He is quite mad. He cannot help what he does."
Todd_:	"I know."
Todd_:	He yawns.

:	Dr_Jameson is now known as Salmander
crackles:	"So it would seem."
crackles:	She waves to Sadler and hops off the shelf.
&MisterFlames:	"I understand that."  Midnight replies.
Todd_:	Todd follows, yawning.
Dexa:	He waves back, and slides into a chair.
crackles:	And goes through the Door to Tom's place.
Todd_:	He follows :V
:	Salmander has left #WanderersLibrary
crackles:	Footsteps approach Azi.
:	Todd_ has quit IRC: Quit: Bye
Nioki:	He looks up.
crackles:	It's...Titania.
Nioki:	"...Oh. Hi."
crackles:	She looks quite miserable.
crackles:	"Hey." She sits down. "Something's come up."
Nioki:	"What... Desi?!"
Nioki:	"What happened?"
crackles:	Titania rests her chin in her hand and stares up at the bookshelves just past his head. "It seems whatever he was going to do to you can't be done without extra help."
crackles:	"So, she volunteered. To die."
Nioki:	"No."
crackles:	"That's what I said. But she didn't listen to me."
Nioki:	"If she does that, I'll kill myself."
Nioki:	"Where is she."
crackles:	"It's all this mage mumbo jumbo I don't understand. And I don't know. She said she had to go think and for all I know she's already dead."
crackles:	"I hate mages..."
Nioki:	Azi stands.
Nioki:	"Come on."
crackles:	"Where're we going?"
Nioki:	"T' visit Murmur."
Nioki:	"Ye think I'd let 'im do this?"
crackles:	"O-oh. I, erm..." She looks quite uneasy. "I'm not going in there. I /hate/ mages."
Nioki:	Azi walks towards the silver door. It changes to a run. "Fine. I'm goin'."
Nioki:	Azi runs what may be the fastest he ever has.
&MisterFlames:	Midnight, who is a mage, grooms nonchalantly.
crackles:	Titania does not like mages. Fortunately she thinks Midnight is just a cat. :V
Dexa:	Sadler is admiring his healed wounds. Did he scar? I don't think he did, but i don't know how Finn works.
crackles:	Finn doesn't leave scars, but though the spots where they're healed may sting just a bit for a few hours if the wounds are particularly deep.
@pooryoric:	GM Fiat: no, no wound can be allowed to mar sadler's luscious pale skin
crackles:	unf
Dexa:	Yes. I am okay with this.
