Leeroy Jenkins fails to revive Brofessor

[19:05] <Lyra_Bel> "Alright, so"
[19:05] <Lyra_Bel> "Where is this cave, anyway?"
[19:06] <Alexander_Pyrite> "Augh lemme think"
[19:06] <Alexander_Pyrite> "that way"
[19:06]  * Alexander_Pyrite points away from the house
[19:07]  * Lyra_Bel goes that way
[19:07]  * Alexander_Pyrite flies after her
[19:07] <Alexander_Pyrite> "Hey lyra, I was thinking"
[19:07] <Lyra_Bel> "Mm?"
[19:07] <Alexander_Pyrite> "this shield is great and all, but that conversation with byron made me realize"
[19:07] <Alexander_Pyrite> "I need to hit stuff harder"
[19:07] <Alexander_Pyrite> "Can you make me a weapon or something?"
[19:07]  * Lyra_Bel frowns
[19:08] <Lyra_Bel> "That's not at all the takeaway message I got from that"
[19:08] <Lyra_Bel> "But I guess I don't see why not.  Whaddaya need?"
[19:08] <Alexander_Pyrite> "I mean, other than the fact that byron is a weirdo
[19:08] <Lyra_Bel> "Is he?"
[19:08] <Lyra_Bel> "I mean"
[19:09] <Lyra_Bel> "That poor guy"
[19:10] <Alexander_Pyrite> "Yeah, I know"
[19:10] <Alexander_Pyrite> "I knew of some of the fucked up things going on in my time but..."
[19:10] <Alexander_Pyrite> "I ran away just so i could not see them, ya know?"
[19:10] <Lyra_Bel> "That's another thing, yeah"
[19:10] <Alexander_Pyrite> "yeah"
[19:11] <Alexander_Pyrite> "anyway, lets move on from that topic"
[19:11] <Lyra_Bel> "Right"
[19:11] <Alexander_Pyrite> "Whatever is really heavy and does a ton of damage"
[19:11] <Lyra_Bel> "Sledgehammer?"
[19:11] <Lyra_Bel> "Battleaxe?"
[19:12] <Alexander_Pyrite> battleaxe, i cant hold a sledgehammer in one hand
[19:12] <Lyra_Bel> "Battleaxe it is"
[19:12]  * Lyra_Bel makes a battleaxe
[19:13] <Lyra_Bel> "That's not what I meant, though"
[19:13] <Lyra_Bel> "About Byron.  We... we really freaked him out, eh?"
[19:13] <Alexander_Pyrite> "yeah..."
[19:14] <Lyra_Bel> "S'like"
[19:14] <Alexander_Pyrite> "maybe the whole "IM INVINCIBLE" shtick wasnt the best idea"
[19:14] <Lyra_Bel> "Heh"
[19:14] <Alexander_Pyrite> "anyway"
[19:14]  * Alexander_Pyrite grabs the axe
[19:14]  * Alexander_Pyrite hefts it
[19:14] <Alexander_Pyrite> ((voices, can we have this statted by chance?))
[19:17] <Voices> < You can make some kind of half axe for 1d8 that requires 1 hand >
[19:18] <Lyra_Bel> ((Pen conjurations scale to the tier of my armour))
[19:19] <Voices> < 3d8+STR >
[19:20] <Lyra_Bel> "Thoughts?"
[19:20] <Alexander_Pyrite> "Looking good"
[19:20] <Alexander_Pyrite> "this will do"
[19:20] <Alexander_Pyrite> "looks like we're here"
[19:21] <Lyra_Bel> "You know where we're going?"
[19:21] <Alexander_Pyrite> "in that cave, if i remember right"
[19:22] <Lyra_Bel> "Well yeah, but once we're in, you can find the spot again?"
[19:22] <Alexander_Pyrite> "yeah i think"
[19:22] <Alexander_Pyrite> "i dont remember there being any other paths"
[19:22] <Lyra_Bel> "Easy enough"
[19:23]  * Lyra_Bel descends
[19:23]  * Alexander_Pyrite follows
[19:26] <Voices> You come across a room full of shattered stone coffins and a large shattered stone statue, fragments of dull grey Crystal line the ground
[19:26] <Voices> Through one of the other coffins the entrance to another room extends
[19:27] <Lyra_Bel> "Man"
[19:27] <Alexander_Pyrite> "onward, i gues"
[19:27] <Lyra_Bel> "This place is like a graveyard"
[19:27]  * Lyra_Bel kicks a fragment of crystal on her way past it
[19:27] <Alexander_Pyrite> "yeah i was in that coffin at some point"
[19:27] <Lyra_Bel> "Hah, nice"
[19:27]  * Alexander_Pyrite points to a particuarly shattered coffin"
[19:29] <Voices> Ahead you walk into the room where the imps helped you fight the other statue
[19:30] <Voices> Silence fills the air as the only noise are your footsteps crunching on stone shards
[19:30] <Lyra_Bel> "Is it weird that walking through a crypt for sentient rocks doesn't even feel strange anymore?"
[19:31]  * Alexander_Pyrite laughs
[19:31] <Alexander_Pyrite> "It sure was weird the first time i was here"
[19:32] <Lyra_Bel> "That's what I mean, yeah"
[19:32] <Lyra_Bel> "This'd have been crazy a week ago"
[19:32] <Lyra_Bel> "Now we don't even care"
[19:33] <Lyra_Bel> "I mean, this is my first time here at least, and it's nothing special"
[19:33] <Alexander_Pyrite> "imagine living statues and imps fighting them"
[19:33] <Alexander_Pyrite> "and that one"
[19:33]  * Alexander_Pyrite points to the telekinetic statue"
[19:34] <Alexander_Pyrite> "hurlin shit around like magic"
[19:34] <Lyra_Bel> "Okay that actually does sound pretty cool"
[19:34] <Alexander_Pyrite> "yeah, except that was the first time i scraped death"
[19:34] <Alexander_Pyrite> "got knocked out"
[19:34] <Lyra_Bel> "Fun"
[19:35] <Alexander_Pyrite> "when i woke up, bro wa here though"
[19:35] <Lyra_Bel> "And the spiked shield?"
[19:36] <Alexander_Pyrite> "laying next to him"
[19:36] <Alexander_Pyrite> "on that table thing"
[19:36]  * Alexander_Pyrite motions to the marble thing
[19:36] <Alexander_Pyrite> ((it was like a raised marble slab))
[19:40] <Lyra_Bel> "Huh"
[19:42] <Lyra_Bel> "Okay so"
[19:42] <Lyra_Bel> "What's the plan?"
[19:42] <Alexander_Pyrite> "Uh, I would have grabbed the shield, mayeb fought some mosnters on the way"
[19:42] <Alexander_Pyrite> "but uh"
[19:42] <Alexander_Pyrite> "I guess not"
[19:42]  * Lyra_Bel shrugs
[19:43] <Lyra_Bel> "Great"
[19:43] <Lyra_Bel> "Any backup plans?"
[19:43] <Alexander_Pyrite> "not really"
[19:43] <Alexander_Pyrite> "I was kinda hoping for a fight"
[19:43] <Alexander_Pyrite> "This axe is cool"
[19:44] <Lyra_Bel> "Anything for a fight, yeah"
[19:44] <Lyra_Bel> "Still haven't given up hope on that army of mind flayers"
[19:45]  * Alexander_Pyrite chuckles
[19:46] <Lyra_Bel> "Well, this clearly ain't working"
[19:46] <Lyra_Bel> "Next best thing I can think of would be to ask Regent"
[19:46] <Alexander_Pyrite> "which one again?"
[19:47] <Lyra_Bel> "The book"
[19:47] <Lyra_Bel> "Or Reggie might help too"
[19:48] <Lyra_Bel> "They'll know better than Lanased would"
[19:49] <Alexander_Pyrite> "Im not totally sure why we went to lanased in the first place"
[19:49] <Alexander_Pyrite> "But yeah, might as well ask"
[19:49] <Lyra_Bel> "I dunno, desperation?"
[19:49] <Lyra_Bel> "He knew at least a little bit about the crystals"
[19:50] <Lyra_Bel> "S'pose this explains why he was so opposed to crafting them into armour, too"
[19:50] <Alexander_Pyrite> "yeah"
[19:50]  * Alexander_Pyrite looks sad
[19:50] <Alexander_Pyrite> "poor bro"
[19:50] <Lyra_Bel> "He's gonna be okay"
[19:50] <Lyra_Bel> "Got it?"
[19:51] <Alexander_Pyrite> "yeah"
[19:51] <Alexander_Pyrite> "Alright lets ask the book"
[19:51] <Lyra_Bel> "Except..."
[19:51] <Lyra_Bel> "Faerzen's got it."
[19:52] <Alexander_Pyrite> "alright, we have a party to go to anyway"
[19:52] <Lyra_Bel> "Right, that was a thing"
[19:53] <Lyra_Bel> "Almost forgot"
[19:54] <Lyra_Bel> "Oh, crumbs"
[19:54] <Lyra_Bel> "Nickolai's present is in my other Sylladex"
[19:55] <Alexander_Pyrite> "wow both of our gifts are unattainable"
[19:55] <Lyra_Bel> "We suck at this"
[19:55] <Alexander_Pyrite> "i want to make nick a nice gold shirt but i dont have enough grist to make it"
[19:56]  * Lyra_Bel shrugs
[19:56] <Lyra_Bel> "Oh, hey"
[19:56]  * Lyra_Bel tries to draw the Brofessor
[19:56] <Alexander_Pyrite> "hm?"
[19:56] <Voices> Oh hey you made a sheild
[19:57] <Lyra_Bel> "Ugh.  Worth a try"
[19:57] <Alexander_Pyrite> "darn"
[19:57] <Alexander_Pyrite> "well what now?"
[19:57] <Lyra_Bel> "I dunno"
[19:58] <Lyra_Bel> "I guess we, uh..."
[19:59] <Lyra_Bel> "Oh, there was another thing I meant to get done"
[19:59] <Lyra_Bel> "Could deal with that I guess"
[20:00] <Alexander_Pyrite> "Sure
[20:00] <Alexander_Pyrite> "road trip!"
[20:01] <Lyra_Bel> "Back to my place?"
[20:02] <Alexander_Pyrite> "Cool"
[20:02]  * Lyra_Bel flies back up to the gate and through into LOTAD
[20:02]  * Alexander_Pyrite follows
[20:03] <Lyra_Bel> "Oh hey, actually..."
[20:03]  * Lyra_Bel approaches the carved city
[20:03] <Lyra_Bel> "HEY!"
[20:04] <Alexander_Pyrite> "what"
[20:05] <Lyra_Bel> "You things talk or what!?"
[20:06] <Alexander_Pyrite> "What"
[20:06] <Lyra_Bel> "Horses"
[20:06] <Lyra_Bel> "NPCs"
[20:07] <Alexander_Pyrite> "ah"
[20:07] <Voices> No response
[20:07] <Voices> Where even are the pony people?
[20:08]  * Lyra_Bel grumbles a bit then tries to get into one of the buildings
[20:08] <Voices> How do
[20:08] <Voices> You can't phase through the wall
[20:08] <Voices> No teleports
[20:08] <Voices> Maybe the ant-
[20:08] <Lyra_Bel> By pushing the door open
[20:08] <Voices> Oh yeah
[20:09] <Voices> That'd make sense too
[20:09] <Voices> The door is locked
[20:09]  * Lyra_Bel tries a different door
[20:10] <Voices> Locked
[20:10] <Alexander_Pyrite> "so what are you doing"
[20:10] <Lyra_Bel> Any windows to speak of?
[20:10] <Lyra_Bel> "Conscripting backup"
[20:10] <Voices> Any that exist are closed with black curtains drawn
[20:10]  * Lyra_Bel bangs a fist on one of them
[20:11] <Alexander_Pyrite> "well alrighty then
[20:11] <Voices> No response
[20:12] <Lyra_Bel> "I'm trying to convince myself that it's not worth blowing a hole through the doors"
[20:12] <Lyra_Bel> "Thoughts?"
[20:15] <Voices> Alex
[20:16] <Voices> You begin to think that Lyra may actually be a bit on the crazy and dangerous end of things
[20:17] <Alexander_Pyrite> "Lyra"
[20:17] <Lyra_Bel> "Mm?"
[20:17] <Alexander_Pyrite> "I think you may be a bit on the crazy and dangerous end of things"
[20:17] <Lyra_Bel> "Ya don't say?"
[20:17] <Lyra_Bel> "What clued you in?"
[20:18] <Alexander_Pyrite> "well i always knew"
[20:18] <Voices> Alex, you know that NPCs live here
[20:18] <Voices> You should probably stop her
[20:18] <Alexander_Pyrite> "but it was just made painfully obvious here once you decided to blow up a house with npc's in it"
[20:18] <Alexander_Pyrite> "you can not do this"
[20:18] <Lyra_Bel> "Yeah, I know"
[20:18] <Lyra_Bel> "Bluh"
[20:21] <Voices> maybe you should you know
[20:21] <Voices> Not use explosives anymore
[20:21] <Voices> Especially after
[20:21] <Voices> You know
[20:21] <Voices> Killing Brofessor with them
[20:26]  * Alexander_Pyrite looks at the door
[20:26] <Alexander_Pyrite> ((what is it made of?))
[20:27] <Voices> < Stone >
[20:27]  * Alexander_Pyrite takes the axe and tries to slice through the lock
[20:27] <Alexander_Pyrite> roll 1d20+9 athletics?
[20:27] <`DM> Alexander_Pyrite rolled 1d20+9 athletics? [ 1d20=5 ]{14}
[20:28] <Voices> Nope
[20:28] <Voices> Internal lock
[20:28]  * Alexander_Pyrite attempts to hack through the door
[20:28] <Alexander_Pyrite> roll 1d20+9
[20:28] <`DM> Alexander_Pyrite rolled 1d20+9 [ 1d20=5 ]{14}
[20:29] <Voices> It's a slab of stone
[20:29] <Voices> It's not going anywhere
[20:29]  * Alexander_Pyrite grunts
[20:30] <Lyra_Bel> "No luck?"
[20:30] <Alexander_Pyrite> "no brute force here
[20:30] <Lyra_Bel> "Screw it.  Didn't expect this to work anyway"
[20:33] <Lyra_Bel> "Next thing on the list"
[20:34] <Lyra_Bel> "Bed rocks"
[20:34] <Alexander_Pyrite> "Bed rocks?"
[20:34] <Lyra_Bel> "You die on them and then you get back up"
[20:34] <Alexander_Pyrite> "sounds good to know about"
[20:35] <Lyra_Bel> "Wanna go die on it?"
[20:36] <Alexander_Pyrite> "Um"
[20:36] <Alexander_Pyrite> "not particuarly"
[20:36] <Alexander_Pyrite> "why would this benefit me"
[20:36] <Lyra_Bel> "Sorry, bad choice of words.  I meant like hypothetically"
[20:36] <Lyra_Bel> "I'LL be the one dying on it"
[20:37] <Alexander_Pyrite> "You'll be doing what now?"
[20:37] <Alexander_Pyrite> "You are going to kill yourself"
[20:37] <Alexander_Pyrite> "On a rock"
[20:37] <Alexander_Pyrite> "and trust that you'll come back"
[20:37] <Lyra_Bel> "Worked for Byron"
[20:37]  * Lyra_Bel shrugs
[20:38] <Alexander_Pyrite> "like that guy is any good for information"
[20:39] <Lyra_Bel> "He's as good a source as anyone else is"
[20:41] <Lyra_Bel> "He's as good a source as anyone else is"
[20:41] <Alexander_Pyrite> "If you push trhough the ramblings and useless shit"
[20:42] <Lyra_Bel> "I s'pose"
[20:43] <Lyra_Bel> "Actually, wait, no."
[20:44] <Lyra_Bel> "S'not useless"
[20:45] <Alexander_Pyrite> "what isnt?"
[20:45] <Lyra_Bel> "The stuff he talks about"
[20:45] <Lyra_Bel> "S'like"
[20:46] <Lyra_Bel> "Back there, we were laughing about letting him stab you"
[20:46] <Lyra_Bel> "And he was all freaked out by how nonchalant we were about the whole thing, yeah?"
[20:47] <Alexander_Pyrite> "...yeah"
[20:47] <Lyra_Bel> "Dude"
[20:48] <Lyra_Bel> "I'm wearing a chainmail vest made out of dead spider, over some ancient dress I looted from a warehouse that a mass-murderer in a crow mask showed me."
[20:48]  * Alexander_Pyrite looks down at his clothes
[20:48] <Lyra_Bel> "And somehow I've got a pair of wings sticking through all that or something?"
[20:49]  * Lyra_Bel shakes her head
[20:49] <Lyra_Bel> "You're apparently bulletproof"
[20:49] <Lyra_Bel> "That's not normal"
[20:49] <Alexander_Pyrite> "Yeah..."
[20:50] <Lyra_Bel> "S'the same thing I was so worried about with Nickolai's mask, back when I thought it was *just* a sell-your-soul type deal"
[20:50] <Lyra_Bel> "Adapted to learn to function in the new world"
[20:51] <Lyra_Bel> "But to survive life in The Abyss, you give up your humanity, because there's no room for it"
[20:51] <Lyra_Bel> "Adapt or die"
[20:51] <Alexander_Pyrite> "was that a quote or something?"
[20:51] <Lyra_Bel> "A reference"
[20:51] <Lyra_Bel> "Not important, but it's been accurate enough so far"
[20:52] <Lyra_Bel> "My point is... he hasn't adapted"
[20:52] <Lyra_Bel> "Sabath forces people to grow, and he's refused"
[20:52] <Lyra_Bel> "Never realized how far gone we were until I saw someone normal"
[20:53] <Alexander_Pyrite> "Are you saying that byron is normal?"
[20:53] <Lyra_Bel> "I'm saying he hasn't accepted Sabath's rules"
[20:54] <Lyra_Bel> "Hasn't accepted that making stuff is the way to go"
[20:54] <Alexander_Pyrite> "So why have we?"
[20:54]  * Lyra_Bel shrugs
[20:55] <Lyra_Bel> "Because it's easier than staying normal"
[20:55]  * Alexander_Pyrite scoffs
[20:56] <Alexander_Pyrite> "Like this game is ever going to be easy
[20:56] <Lyra_Bel> "Welcome to Sabath"
[20:56] <Alexander_Pyrite> "maybe it'd be better if we just... stopped going with the flow"
[20:56] <Alexander_Pyrite> "Start to fight back"
[20:56]  * Lyra_Bel gives Alex a funny look
[20:56] <Lyra_Bel> "How?"
[20:58] <Alexander_Pyrite> "no fucking idea"
[20:58] <Alexander_Pyrite> "lets fly to derse, fuck up the queen"
[20:59]  * Lyra_Bel laughs
[20:59] <Alexander_Pyrite> "why not?"
[20:59] <Lyra_Bel> "Admittedly, that sounds pretty good right about now"
[20:59] <Lyra_Bel> "Anything for a chance to do some damage"
[21:01] <Lyra_Bel> "But I s'pose we've gotta get ready for the party too, eh?"
[21:01] <Alexander_Pyrite> "right"
[21:01] <Alexander_Pyrite> "That too"
[21:01] <Alexander_Pyrite> "I figure that could be fighting back too"
[21:01] <Alexander_Pyrite> "we're not supposed to be happy according to you, right?"
[21:01] <Lyra_Bel> "Actually, yeah, that's right"
[21:01]  * Lyra_Bel grins
[21:02] <Lyra_Bel> "Screw the world.  Let's have an awesome time."
[21:03] <Lyra_Bel> "Just gotta find Other-Me and Kek"
[21:04] <Alexander_Pyrite> "sure"
[21:04] <Alexander_Pyrite> "lead the way"
[21:04] <Lyra_Bel> "Um..."
[21:04] <Lyra_Bel> "I have no idea where that idiot brought her"
[21:04] <Lyra_Bel> "Okay new plan"
[21:04]  * Lyra_Bel fly-hops up to the roof
[21:05]  * Alexander_Pyrite follows
[21:06] <Lyra_Bel> "Grabbed this stuff from Lanased's caves.  If the other stuff doesn't work out, they should be close enough to a gift"
[21:06]  * Lyra_Bel gestures to the various trinkets she looted from the crystalline bedroom
[21:06] <Alexander_Pyrite> "ah"
[21:07] <Alexander_Pyrite> "If we dont find any grist, you mind if i give him that golden chainmail?"
[21:07] <Lyra_Bel> ((I didn't get a description beyond "various trinkets", so go nuts with whatever you wanna find))
[21:07] <Alexander_Pyrite> "It's sorta similar to a gold shirt, but it's actually armored"
[21:07] <Alexander_Pyrite> "I'd hate to lose it"
[21:07] <Lyra_Bel> "Hey, anything's fine by me"
[21:08] <Lyra_Bel> "Oh, there's also Faerzen's remote surveillance necklace"
[21:09] <Lyra_Bel> "Probably oughtta return it one of these days"
[21:09]  * Lyra_Bel captchalogues
[21:11] <Alexander_Pyrite> "What does that do?"
[21:11] <Lyra_Bel> "Faerzen can turn it on to let them watch you, like on Sabath's viewport"
[21:12] <Alexander_Pyrite> "Stalker necklace, got it"
[21:12] <Lyra_Bel> "Heh, basically"
[21:12] <Lyra_Bel> "S'not that useful when we've got Pesterchum, but I mean hey"
[21:12] <Lyra_Bel> "Worth noting, right?"
[21:13] <Alexander_Pyrite> "yeah
[21:14] <Alexander_Pyrite> "damn why is it that there's nowhere to fight things?"
[21:14] <Alexander_Pyrite> "I need some grist dammit"
[21:14] <Lyra_Bel> "I hear ya"
[21:14] <Lyra_Bel> "... Actually..."
[21:14] <Lyra_Bel> "If the ponies aren't willing to help, there's a sidequest I'd been meaning to deal with"
[21:15] <Lyra_Bel> "Kek obviously can't be trusted to pull it off"
[21:15] <Alexander_Pyrite> "which one?"
[21:15] <Lyra_Bel> "I froze to death a while ago"
[21:15] <Lyra_Bel> "Like, a long while ago"
[21:15] <Lyra_Bel> "I wanna go loot the body"
[21:15] <Lyra_Bel> :P
[21:15] <Alexander_Pyrite> "Oh"
[21:15] <Alexander_Pyrite> "right that"
[21:15] <Lyra_Bel> "Seriously, I had stuff with me down there"
[21:16] <Alexander_Pyrite> "what stuff?"
[21:16] <Lyra_Bel> "Nothing *too* important"
[21:17] <Lyra_Bel> "It's the principle of the thing"
[21:17] <Alexander_Pyrite> "isnt it weird"
[21:17] <Alexander_Pyrite> "brb guys gonna go loot myown corpse!"
[21:18] <Lyra_Bel> "It's Sabath"
[21:18] <Lyra_Bel> "Nothing's weird except Byron"
[21:18] <Lyra_Bel> "And that's because he's normal"
[21:18] <Lyra_Bel> "... sorta"
[21:18] <Alexander_Pyrite> "I guess"
[21:19] <Lyra_Bel> "I had stuff in my Sylladex when I started playing.  Reminders of home."
[21:19] <Lyra_Bel> "I want them back."
[21:19] <Alexander_Pyrite> "Sure, no problem"
[21:20] <Lyra_Bel> "Awesome"
[21:20] <Lyra_Bel> "Oh, wait"
[21:20] <Lyra_Bel> "S'cold down there"
[21:20] <Lyra_Bel> "Really cold"
[21:21] <Alexander_Pyrite> "Right"
[21:21] <Alexander_Pyrite> "All i have is a t-shirt"
[21:21] <Lyra_Bel> "Yeah you're gonna want something warmer"
[21:21] <Lyra_Bel> "Time to visit Lanased again"
[21:22] <Alexander_Pyrite> "oh yeah, time to look spiffy"
[21:22] <Lyra_Bel> "Also deals with the issue of party outfits.  Two birds, one giant spider"
[21:22]  * Alexander_Pyrite laughs
[21:23] <Alexander_Pyrite> "alright lets get going"
[21:23]  * Lyra_Bel and Alexander_Pyrite return to Lanased
