  1. [2011-12-21 21:09:42] <Mr_Wilt> And then Nolan was at the pool!

  8. [2011-12-21 21:10:15] <Mr_Wilt> Nolan don't notice no Stoat.
  9. [2011-12-21 21:10:20] <Sequence> Director Corbette stands by the sub, fidgeting.
  10. [2011-12-21 21:10:40] -->| Tara_Unknown (~chatzilla@synIRC-CBF7131F.dsl.pltn13.sbcglobal.net) has joined #redpool
  11. [2011-12-21 21:10:54] <TheRaven> Taggart shows up with the usual pool gear.
  12. [2011-12-21 21:11:06] <Scantron> Spencer slides into the pool area with his gear.
  13. [2011-12-21 21:11:09] <Soulless|Sicky> Stoat sneaks around.
  14. [2011-12-21 21:11:14] <thedeadlymoose> Eris looks for Stoat, since she's managed to not be around in forever and thus doesn't know anyone else. STILL.
  15. [2011-12-21 21:11:22] <thedeadlymoose> 6df+8 any small mammals about?
  16. [2011-12-21 21:11:23] <Glacon> thedeadlymoose: any small mammals about?: 8 (6df+8=3+, 4-, 3+, 4-, 4-, 3+)
  17. [2011-12-21 21:11:30] <thedeadlymoose> Apparently not.
  18. [2011-12-21 21:11:35] <thedeadlymoose> At least, no visible ones.
  19. [2011-12-21 21:11:36] <Tara_Unknown> Rosalind arrives at the pool with her gear, and still getting used to the glasses
  20. [2011-12-21 21:11:37] <Soulless|Sicky> Eris knows that she feels watched. Stoat is probably around.
  21. [2011-12-21 21:11:47] <thedeadlymoose> Fiiiigures.
  22. [2011-12-21 21:11:55] <Soulless|Sicky> Stoat doesn't /not/ arrive to missions without good reason.
  23. [2011-12-21 21:11:57] <TheRaven> Taggart notices Eris. He makes a note to ask who the hell she is later, as he's never seen her before.
  24. [2011-12-21 21:12:12] <Scantron> Spencer turns to Eris. "Hello, I don't believe we've met."
  25. [2011-12-21 21:12:20] <Sequence> "Emergence event in the pool, you need to handle it. Any questions?" He pats the sub and walks off.
  26. [2011-12-21 21:12:27] <Mr_Wilt> Nolan notes Eris. "Oh, hey. Eris, right?"
  27. [2011-12-21 21:12:40] <TheRaven> Taggart fixes his bayonet and hops aboard the sub.
  28. [2011-12-21 21:12:46] <Soulless|Sicky> Stoat sneaks in. There's no way to hide in here.
  29. [2011-12-21 21:12:50] <Soulless|Sicky> Suddenly Stoat!!!
  30. [2011-12-21 21:13:31] <thedeadlymoose> "Hey, Nolan," Eris says. "Did I get that right?"
  31. [2011-12-21 21:13:31] <TheRaven> "Evening Stoat."
  32. [2011-12-21 21:13:43] <Mr_Wilt> "Yeah. Cool to see you again."
  33. [2011-12-21 21:13:44] <thedeadlymoose> "And Stoat! "Well hello there, stranger."
  34. [2011-12-21 21:13:47] <Mr_Wilt> Nolan hops on into the sub.
  35. [2011-12-21 21:13:57] <Soulless|Sicky> "Hello, Weasel..."
  36. [2011-12-21 21:13:58] <Scantron> Spencer shakes her hand. "Spencer Smith." He then enters the sub.
  37. [2011-12-21 21:13:59] <thedeadlymoose> "Same to you."
  38. [2011-12-21 21:14:13] <Sequence> The sub begins to descend...
  39. [2011-12-21 21:14:15] <thedeadlymoose> "Eris Jackson. Nice to meet you, etcetera."
  40. [2011-12-21 21:14:21] <thedeadlymoose> (Also she entered the sub.)
  41. [2011-12-21 21:14:49] <Soulless|Sicky> Stoat sits by a window, looking out into the water.
  42. [2011-12-21 21:14:56] <Sequence> Perception, everyone.
  43. [2011-12-21 21:15:06] <Scantron> 6df+4 I came here to fuck bitches.
  44. [2011-12-21 21:15:07] <Glacon> Scantron: I came here to fuck bitches.: 3 (6df+4=3+, 4-, 0, 0, 0, 4-)
  45. [2011-12-21 21:15:14] <Soulless|Sicky> 6df+8 perception
  46. [2011-12-21 21:15:15] <Mr_Wilt> 6df+4 I came here to not see shit
  47. [2011-12-21 21:15:15] <Glacon> Soulless|Sicky: perception: 5 (6df+8=3+, 4-, 4-, 4-, 0, 4-)
  48. [2011-12-21 21:15:15] <Glacon> Mr_Wilt: I came here to not see shit: 3 (6df+4=0, 4-, 0, 4-, 0, 3+)
  49. [2011-12-21 21:15:16] <TheRaven> 6df+6 sniper eyes
  50. [2011-12-21 21:15:17] <Glacon> TheRaven: sniper eyes: 5 (6df+6=3+, 0, 4-, 3+, 4-, 4-)
  51. [2011-12-21 21:15:26] <thedeadlymoose> 6df+8 I /didn't/ come here to fuck bitches.
  52. [2011-12-21 21:15:26] <Glacon> thedeadlymoose: I /didn't/ come here to fuck bitches.: 11 (6df+8=0, 3+, 3+, 3+, 3+, 4-)
  53. [2011-12-21 21:15:33] <Tara_Unknown> 6df+7 seeing things?
  54. [2011-12-21 21:15:34] <Glacon> Tara_Unknown: seeing things?: 6 (6df+7=0, 0, 0, 4-, 4-, 3+)
  55. [2011-12-21 21:16:28] <Sequence> Everyone except Spencer and Nolan feel a strange sensation in their stomachs, like a really speedy elevator just stopped.
  56. [2011-12-21 21:16:47] <Mr_Wilt> Nolan is all the chillax.
  57. [2011-12-21 21:16:53] <TheRaven> Taggart grunts a bit. No big deal.
  58. [2011-12-21 21:17:00] <Scantron> Spencer is too full of testosterone and adrenaline to notice.
  59. [2011-12-21 21:17:02] <Tara_Unknown> "Ugh"
  60. [2011-12-21 21:17:17] <Scantron> "You alright, Rose?"
  61. [2011-12-21 21:17:46] <thedeadlymoose> Eris assumes it's just the submarine going down.
  62. [2011-12-21 21:17:47] <Soulless|Sicky> "..."
  63. [2011-12-21 21:17:51] <Soulless|Sicky> Stoat jumps a little.
  64. [2011-12-21 21:17:59] <Tara_Unknown> "I just had a nasty, plummeting feeling"
  65. [2011-12-21 21:18:28] <thedeadlymoose> "I assumed that was the sub going down. Is this not normal?"
  66. [2011-12-21 21:18:32] <Scantron> Spencer gives her a hug. "Don't worry too much. It'll sort itself out."
  67. [2011-12-21 21:18:38] <Sequence> The sub shudders as it rests on something.
  68. [2011-12-21 21:19:12] <Mr_Wilt> Nolan checks the monitors. Anything of note outside?
  69. [2011-12-21 21:19:29] <Soulless|Sicky> Stoat looks outside. What's up?
  70. [2011-12-21 21:19:41] <Sequence> The air seems slightly thinner than Earth, Nolan.
  71. [2011-12-21 21:19:47] <Sequence> Stoat, it looks like you're on the... moon?
  72. [2011-12-21 21:19:50] <Scantron> Spencer checks out the side of a sub window.
  73. [2011-12-21 21:19:50] <Tara_Unknown> Rosalind smiles
  74. [2011-12-21 21:20:02] <Soulless|Sicky> "..."
  75. [2011-12-21 21:20:08] <Soulless|Sicky> Stoat wonders if it's safe to breathe.
  76. [2011-12-21 21:20:27] <Sequence> Spencer, it really looks like you're resting in a miniature crater on the moon.
  77. [2011-12-21 21:20:42] <Scantron> "Well. Is there any air to breathe?"
  78. [2011-12-21 21:20:42] <TheRaven> "This should be just great. Instrument readings?"
  79. [2011-12-21 21:20:43] <Sequence> White, powdery rocks, blacker than night sky..
  80. [2011-12-21 21:20:49] <Mr_Wilt> "Apparently there is."
  81. [2011-12-21 21:20:55] <thedeadlymoose> "Oh hey. I've always wanted to go to the moon."
  82. [2011-12-21 21:21:08] <Sequence> Those of you looking out the windows, roll perception.
  83. [2011-12-21 21:21:09] <Scantron> "Huh. Let's go then." Spencer heads over to the hatch.
  84. [2011-12-21 21:21:13] <Scantron> 6df+4
  85. [2011-12-21 21:21:13] <Glacon> Scantron: 4 (6df+4=3+, 0, 0, 4-, 3+, 4-)
  86. [2011-12-21 21:21:18] <Soulless|Sicky> 6df+8 perception
  87. [2011-12-21 21:21:19] <Glacon> Soulless|Sicky: perception: 6 (6df+8=4-, 3+, 0, 4-, 0, 4-)
  88. [2011-12-21 21:21:30] <thedeadlymoose> 6df+8 moon, moon, go away, come again some other day
  89. [2011-12-21 21:21:31] <Glacon> thedeadlymoose: moon, moon, go away, come again some other day: 8 (6df+8=0, 0, 0, 0, 3+, 4-)
  90. [2011-12-21 21:21:31] <Sequence> Stoat catches a glimpse of something huge in the sky.
  91. [2011-12-21 21:21:35] <Sequence> Eris sees the same.
  92. [2011-12-21 21:21:40] <Soulless|Sicky> "Sky."
  93. [2011-12-21 21:21:49] <Soulless|Sicky> Stoat checks. What is that huge thing?
  94. [2011-12-21 21:21:50] <Sequence> It's an enormous planet.
  95. [2011-12-21 21:21:50] <Tara_Unknown> "We're on the moon?! It's hard vacuum out there! I don't think we have the equipment!"
  96. [2011-12-21 21:21:57] <thedeadlymoose> "Hey look. There's something there."
  97. [2011-12-21 21:21:57] <Mr_Wilt> Nolan pops the hatch and sticks his head out.
  98. [2011-12-21 21:22:03] <Soulless|Sicky> "...Planet. Sky."
  99. [2011-12-21 21:22:05] <thedeadlymoose> "Okay. /A/ moon."
  100. [2011-12-21 21:22:09] <Sequence> Much closer and larger than Earth, and far more covered with green.
  101. [2011-12-21 21:22:12] <Sequence> Nolan, you can breathe.
  102. [2011-12-21 21:22:14] <Sequence> You derp.
  103. [2011-12-21 21:22:15] <Scantron> Spencer looks back out the window, notes the planet, then heads back to the hatch.
  104. [2011-12-21 21:22:23] <thedeadlymoose> Eris braces herself for explosive decompression for all of three seconds.
  105. [2011-12-21 21:22:26] <Mr_Wilt> Nolan wasn't questioning if he could breath or not.
  106. [2011-12-21 21:22:29] <Soulless|Sicky> "..."
  107. [2011-12-21 21:22:31] <Sequence> In fact, parts of the planet seem to be covered in /teal/...
  108. [2011-12-21 21:22:33] <thedeadlymoose> "Nolan, I think I like you. You moron."
  109. [2011-12-21 21:22:37] <Soulless|Sicky> Stoat gets out of the Sub.
  110. [2011-12-21 21:22:39] <Mr_Wilt> "What did I do?"
  111. [2011-12-21 21:22:41] <TheRaven> Taggart gets out and takes up an overwatch position.
  112. [2011-12-21 21:22:46] <Soulless|Sicky> She looks around.
  113. [2011-12-21 21:22:49] <Mr_Wilt> "I checked the monitors. Calm down."
  114. [2011-12-21 21:22:50] <Tara_Unknown> Rosalind exhales as much as she can when the hatch opens
  115. [2011-12-21 21:22:53] <Scantron> "Instruments said there was air." Spencer gets out of the sub.
  116. [2011-12-21 21:22:55] <Sequence> You seem to have landed in the middle of a walkway.
  117. [2011-12-21 21:23:04] <Mr_Wilt> He pulls himself out of the sub and gets a good view of his surroundings.
  118. [2011-12-21 21:23:12] <Sequence> Stones have been placed in two parallel lines, leading towards a mountain.
  119. [2011-12-21 21:23:17] <Scantron> Spencer looks around. This is pretty pimpin'.
  120. [2011-12-21 21:23:19] <thedeadlymoose> "We could have been poisoned quite spectacularly, you know. Though as ways to die go, at least it's interesting."
  121. [2011-12-21 21:23:21] <TheRaven> "Road."
  122. [2011-12-21 21:23:26] <thedeadlymoose> Eris gets out of the sub and looks around.
  123. [2011-12-21 21:23:29] <Sequence> Crumbling columns crop up here and there.
  124. [2011-12-21 21:23:31] <Tara_Unknown> This does not, in any way, calm Rosalind down
  125. [2011-12-21 21:23:39] <Soulless|Sicky> "..."
  126. [2011-12-21 21:23:52] <TheRaven> "This is pretty obvious. Let's go."
  127. [2011-12-21 21:23:53] <Mr_Wilt> "Like I said, Eris. I checked the monitors."
  128. [2011-12-21 21:23:54] <thedeadlymoose> 6df+8 Do I see anything interesting? Anything fun?
  129. [2011-12-21 21:23:55] <Glacon> thedeadlymoose: Do I see anything interesting? Anything fun?: 11 (6df+8=3+, 0, 0, 3+, 0, 3+)
  130. [2011-12-21 21:23:56] <Mr_Wilt> Nolan knows what he's doin'.
  131. [2011-12-21 21:24:02] <Soulless|Sicky> She begins walking down the parallel lines.
  132. [2011-12-21 21:24:05] <Sequence> Well, those columns seem to have something carved into them...
  133. [2011-12-21 21:24:06] <Scantron> "Agreed." Spencer walks alongside Taggart. What's the gravity like?
  134. [2011-12-21 21:24:15] <Sequence> It's far. Far lighter than home.
  135. [2011-12-21 21:24:17] <thedeadlymoose> "Oh." Eris looks at least slightly disappointed at Nolan's clarification.
  136. [2011-12-21 21:24:25] <Sequence> Everyone who walks bounces up 5 feet in the air.
  137. [2011-12-21 21:24:33] <Soulless|Sicky> Stoat hops!
  138. [2011-12-21 21:24:35] <thedeadlymoose> Eris practices bouncing.
  139. [2011-12-21 21:24:40] <Mr_Wilt> Nolan hops down the runway.
  140. [2011-12-21 21:24:43] <Scantron> Spencer does flips and shit.
  141. [2011-12-21 21:24:44] <thedeadlymoose> "Hey look. Those columns have got something on them."
  142. [2011-12-21 21:24:47] <thedeadlymoose> Eris checks out the columns.
  143. [2011-12-21 21:24:57] <Soulless|Sicky> Stoat hops to Eris to check it out with her.
  144. [2011-12-21 21:24:59] <TheRaven> Taggart stays at the back of the group, rifle in a low ready position.
  145. [2011-12-21 21:25:09] <Sequence> They're pictures of some kind.
  146. [2011-12-21 21:25:15] <Scantron> Spencer is near the front, but he bounces over to look at the pictures.
  147. [2011-12-21 21:25:30] <Tara_Unknown> Rosalind goes out cautiously, but heads over to where Eris is when it is mentioned that there are carvings
  148. [2011-12-21 21:25:35] <Sequence> Spencer, roll Academics to figure out how to read them
  149. [2011-12-21 21:25:43] <Soulless|Sicky> Stoat notes all of these.
  150. [2011-12-21 21:25:44] <TheRaven> He starts humming something. You might recognize it as...seriously Taggart? Bad Moon Rising.
  151. [2011-12-21 21:25:46] <Tara_Unknown> Are the carvings relief enough to do a rubbing?
  152. [2011-12-21 21:25:47] <Scantron> 6df+8 oh man, you're just feeding his goddamn ego
  153. [2011-12-21 21:25:48] <Glacon> Scantron: oh man, you're just feeding his goddamn ego: 7 (6df+8=4-, 3+, 3+, 0, 4-, 4-)
  154. [2011-12-21 21:25:49] <thedeadlymoose> 6df+2 Anything that a really shitty scholar of Academics can figure out?
  155. [2011-12-21 21:25:49] <Glacon> thedeadlymoose: Anything that a really shitty scholar of Academics can figure out?: 0 (6df+2=0, 0, 0, 4-, 0, 4-)
  156. [2011-12-21 21:26:09] <Sequence> Spencer, you can see that they are meant to be read from top to bottom, right to left.
  157. [2011-12-21 21:26:28] <Mr_Wilt> Nolan continues down the runway. He's got no time for columns and shit.
  158. [2011-12-21 21:26:30] <Scantron> "Top to bottom, right to left, in case anyone was wondering." Spencer reads them that way.
  159. [2011-12-21 21:26:51] <Sequence> They're very worn, but Spencer can see that a particular stone plays a very big role.
  160. [2011-12-21 21:27:02] <Soulless|Sicky> "..."
  161. [2011-12-21 21:27:05] <Sequence> It's shown in all of the pictures.
  162. [2011-12-21 21:27:06] <TheRaven> "I see a bad moon risin'..."
  163. [2011-12-21 21:27:12] <Soulless|Sicky> Stoat waits for Spencer to figure shit out.
  164. [2011-12-21 21:27:16] <Scantron> "I see trouble on the way..."
  165. [2011-12-21 21:27:33] <Tara_Unknown> Rosalind tries to take a rubbing of the carvings
  166. [2011-12-21 21:27:41] <Scantron> Spencer points to a picture of the particular stone. "Looks like this stone here is important."
  167. [2011-12-21 21:27:41] <Sequence> The stone crumbles underneath her touch.
  168. [2011-12-21 21:27:52] <Soulless|Sicky> Stoat pulls Rosalind away.
  169. [2011-12-21 21:27:55] <Tara_Unknown> "Damn"
  170. [2011-12-21 21:28:03] <Soulless|Sicky> She notes the carvings, memorizing them.
  171. [2011-12-21 21:28:06] <TheRaven> "Well, that's just great. Don't touch anything, everybody."
  172. [2011-12-21 21:28:06] <Scantron> Spencer takes a few pictures, then gives Rosalind a hug. "Don't worry, I have pictures."
  173. [2011-12-21 21:28:21] <Sequence> Nolan, roll Ath!
  174. [2011-12-21 21:28:31] <Mr_Wilt> 6df+6 Come at me!
  175. [2011-12-21 21:28:31] <Glacon> Mr_Wilt: Come at me!: 5 (6df+6=3+, 4-, 4-, 0, 3+, 4-)
  176. [2011-12-21 21:28:42] <Sequence> Nolan trips over a rock and falls in slow motion.
  177. [2011-12-21 21:28:54] <Soulless|Sicky> Stoat hops over to Nolan.
  178. [2011-12-21 21:28:58] <thedeadlymoose> "Are you kidding? How are we going to find out what happens if we don't /touch/ anything?"
  179. [2011-12-21 21:29:00] <Soulless|Sicky> 6df+8 catchy?
  180. [2011-12-21 21:29:01] <Glacon> Soulless|Sicky: catchy?: 9 (6df+8=3+, 0, 4-, 3+, 0, 0)
  181. [2011-12-21 21:29:03] <Mr_Wilt> Nolan can't help but make fun of himself. "Noooooooooooooooooooooo!"
  182. [2011-12-21 21:29:07] <Soulless|Sicky> Stoat catches Nolan.
  183. [2011-12-21 21:29:11] <Sequence> Stoat manages to catch him, yes.
  184. [2011-12-21 21:29:12] <Soulless|Sicky> Her face is :|
  185. [2011-12-21 21:29:18] <Mr_Wilt> "Thanks, Stoat."
  186. [2011-12-21 21:29:19] <Scantron> Spencer uses Nolan as a springboard for a jump.
  187. [2011-12-21 21:29:28] <TheRaven> "Y'know, let's just make that a rule: never touch anything in the pool."
  188. [2011-12-21 21:29:29] <Sequence> Spencer can't control his flight!
  189. [2011-12-21 21:29:30] <Soulless|Sicky> She sets him down. "...Let's move on."
  190. [2011-12-21 21:29:32] <Tara_Unknown> Rosalind still looks disappointed. "I was hoping to do a rubbing, since that would copy the carvings perfectly. I guess I can take some of the stone fragments and analyze them, but I'm no Geologist"
  191. [2011-12-21 21:29:41] <thedeadlymoose> "I vote against this rule."
  192. [2011-12-21 21:29:44] <Sequence> He starts tumbling head over feet and falls a yard away from Nolan.
  193. [2011-12-21 21:29:44] <TheRaven> "For the love of Christ Spencer..."
  194. [2011-12-21 21:29:46] <Scantron> "Whoa!"
  195. [2011-12-21 21:29:55] <Mr_Wilt> "Spencer, I will punch you on the moon. I swear to shit."
  196. [2011-12-21 21:29:56] <TheRaven> Taggart facepalms.
  197. [2011-12-21 21:30:12] <Scantron> He takes the hit then stands back up. "No, no, it's cool." Spencer hops less exuberantly.
  198. [2011-12-21 21:30:25] <Sequence> There's another column near him, though.
  199. [2011-12-21 21:30:37] <Mr_Wilt> Nolan continues on down the runway.
  200. [2011-12-21 21:30:45] <Scantron> Spencer takes a look at the column.
  201. [2011-12-21 21:30:58] <Soulless|Sicky> "...Let's move on. Spencer?"
  202. [2011-12-21 21:31:03] <Sequence> This one shows how that stone is kept inside the mountain.
  203. [2011-12-21 21:31:18] <TheRaven> Taggart is at the back of the group, slowly looking for anything dangerous.
  204. [2011-12-21 21:31:29] <Scantron> "The stone I mentioned earlier, the important one. It's kept in the mountain." Spencer catches up with the front of the group.
  205. [2011-12-21 21:31:43] <Soulless|Sicky> "Okay. Let's go."
  206. [2011-12-21 21:31:45] <Mr_Wilt> Nolan heads for the front of the group, his rifle at the ready.
  207. [2011-12-21 21:31:51] <Soulless|Sicky> Stoat hops to the mountain!
  208. [2011-12-21 21:31:55] <Sequence> Stoat, Ath!
  209. [2011-12-21 21:32:01] <Soulless|Sicky> 6df+8 ffff
  210. [2011-12-21 21:32:02] <Glacon> Soulless|Sicky: ffff: 10 (6df+8=3+, 3+, 3+, 3+, 4-, 4-)
  211. [2011-12-21 21:32:13] <Sequence> Stoat nearly trips over a rock, but turns it into a graceful flip.
  212. [2011-12-21 21:32:23] <thedeadlymoose> Eris applauds.
  213. [2011-12-21 21:32:24] <Soulless|Sicky> Stoat is a ninja.
  214. [2011-12-21 21:32:28] <TheRaven> Taggart keeps his feet firmly on the ground.
  215. [2011-12-21 21:32:34] |<-- Fifthman has left irc.synirc.net (Ping timeout)
  216. [2011-12-21 21:32:50] <Mr_Wilt> As does Nolan.
  217. [2011-12-21 21:33:03] <thedeadlymoose> Eris thinks this is an excellent idea and attempts to duplicate Stoat's feet.
  218. [2011-12-21 21:33:03] <Sequence> The mountain towers above the group/.
  219. [2011-12-21 21:33:06] <thedeadlymoose> 6df+6 !
  220. [2011-12-21 21:33:07] <Glacon> thedeadlymoose: !: 5 (6df+6=4-, 0, 3+, 4-, 3+, 4-)
  221. [2011-12-21 21:33:10] <Scantron> Spencer hops a bit, but only to a reasonable extent.
  222. [2011-12-21 21:33:16] <Sequence> Eris fails.
  223. [2011-12-21 21:33:22] <thedeadlymoose> *feat.
  224. [2011-12-21 21:33:24] <Sequence> She faceplants into the powder.
  225. [2011-12-21 21:33:25] <Soulless|Sicky> Stoat shakes her head at Eris.
  226. [2011-12-21 21:33:35] <Soulless|Sicky> Then, she checks the mountain. Any opeings?
  227. [2011-12-21 21:33:38] <Soulless|Sicky> *openings
  228. [2011-12-21 21:33:43] <thedeadlymoose> Eris gets up and dusts herself off. "Hey, I had to try."
  229. [2011-12-21 21:33:47] <Sequence> There seems to be a cave halfway up, and a little goat trail leads up to it.
  230. [2011-12-21 21:33:56] <Soulless|Sicky> "...LEt's go."
  231. [2011-12-21 21:33:58] <Soulless|Sicky> "Cave."
  232. [2011-12-21 21:34:09] <Scantron> "Awesome." Spencer heads for the cave.
  233. [2011-12-21 21:34:10] <Soulless|Sicky> She starts getting up the trail to the cave.
  234. [2011-12-21 21:34:27] <Tara_Unknown> Rosalind follows the group after picking up a sliver of the stone, trying to stay close to Spencer
  235. [2011-12-21 21:34:38] <Scantron> Spencer allows her to stay close.
  236. [2011-12-21 21:34:41] <thedeadlymoose> Eris heads after Stoat in a more reasonable fashion.
  237. [2011-12-21 21:34:43] <Mr_Wilt> Nolan also heads for the cave!
  238. [2011-12-21 21:35:03] <TheRaven> Taggart is, of course, following.
  239. [2011-12-21 21:35:03] <Scantron> He walks reasonably now, but he's obviously enjoying himself.
  240. [2011-12-21 21:36:18] <Sequence> Ath, everyone!
  241. [2011-12-21 21:36:20] <Tara_Unknown> Rosalind keeps writing in her book as she follows, looking around for signs of flora and fauna

  254. [2011-12-21 21:38:13] <Sequence> Rosalind and Eris lose their balance and fall down onto the trail.
  255. [2011-12-21 21:38:19] <Sequence> Powder /everywhere/.
  256. [2011-12-21 21:38:27] <thedeadlymoose> Well shit.
  257. [2011-12-21 21:38:30] <Soulless|Sicky> Stoat tries not to breathe anything in.
  258. [2011-12-21 21:38:31] <Sequence> In fact, so much powder that it puffs up into a huge cloud.
  259. [2011-12-21 21:38:44] <Scantron> Spencer immediately helps Rosalind up and dusts her off. "Are you okay?" Spencer forgets not to breathe any in.
  260. [2011-12-21 21:38:58] <thedeadlymoose> "It's cool, Rosalind. We can pose as moon people. You know. Blend in."
  261. [2011-12-21 21:39:09] <thedeadlymoose> "Dammit Spencer, you ruined it."
  262. [2011-12-21 21:39:14] <Soulless|Sicky> She hops away from the cloud and to the cave.
  263. [2011-12-21 21:39:17] <Sequence> Luckily, it settles soon.
  264. [2011-12-21 21:39:19] <Tara_Unknown> Rosalind holds her breath, and shakes her head
  265. [2011-12-21 21:39:31] <Scantron> Shakes her head no, or shakes it to get out the dust?
  266. [2011-12-21 21:39:32] <Sequence> Eris and Rosalind are /covered/ in the stuff, now.
  267. [2011-12-21 21:39:45] <Mr_Wilt> Nolan also continues for the cave!
  268. [2011-12-21 21:39:54] <thedeadlymoose> Eris doesn't bother dusting off. Unless it seems to be getting in the way of moving around.
  269. [2011-12-21 21:40:00] <Sequence> Inside, there is less dust.
  270. [2011-12-21 21:40:01] <Soulless|Sicky> Stoat waits for people to catch up, looking into the cave.
  271. [2011-12-21 21:40:04] <Sequence> It is a bit dark, though.
  272. [2011-12-21 21:40:06] <Tara_Unknown> Once the dust settles, she looks at Spencer, kind of sheepishly
  273. [2011-12-21 21:40:07] <Scantron> After making sure that Rosalind's okay, he leads her out of the cloud and into the cave.
  274. [2011-12-21 21:40:16] <TheRaven> Taggart coughs a bit, and walks in.
  275. [2011-12-21 21:40:18] <Soulless|Sicky> She flips on her flashlight.
  276. [2011-12-21 21:40:18] <Sequence> Although, it seems less dark than it should...
  277. [2011-12-21 21:40:19] <Scantron> He smiles back. "I still think you're beautiful."
  278. [2011-12-21 21:40:21] <Sequence> Perception.

  285. [2011-12-21 21:40:41] <Tara_Unknown> Once in the cave, she cleans her glasses, and gets as much dust off of herself as she can, all while holding her breath
  286. [2011-12-21 21:40:52] <Sequence> Your dusting, it does not work.
  287. [2011-12-21 21:40:54] <Tara_Unknown> 6df_7 My glasses!
  288. [2011-12-21 21:40:54] <TheRaven> 6df+6 eyes

  294. [2011-12-21 21:41:41] <Sequence> Everyone but Taggart, Spencer, and Nolan notice the walls are glowing faintly.
  295. [2011-12-21 21:41:53] <thedeadlymoose> "Glowing walls? That's new."
  296. [2011-12-21 21:41:55] <Sequence> And they refract Stoat's flashlight /magnificently/.
  297. [2011-12-21 21:42:16] <Mr_Wilt> Nolan's too busy being Alpha to notice.
  298. [2011-12-21 21:42:18] <Soulless|Sicky> "...The walls reflect the flashlight. We'll probably only need mine to see."
  299. [2011-12-21 21:42:37] <Soulless|Sicky> "Let's keep moving. Eyes wide, ears open."
  300. [2011-12-21 21:42:39] <Soulless|Sicky> She walks in.
  301. [2011-12-21 21:42:40] <Scantron> "Hm?" Spencer looks at the reflections. "Impressive."
  302. [2011-12-21 21:42:44] <Tara_Unknown> "Is this my eyes being funny, or are the walls glowing?"
  303. [2011-12-21 21:42:45] <TheRaven> "Glowing...fucking hell." He moves up.
  304. [2011-12-21 21:43:14] <Mr_Wilt> "Neat." Nolan chambers a round into his rifle.
  305. [2011-12-21 21:43:17] <Scantron> Spencer holds Rosalind close. "We should get some samples of this."
  306. [2011-12-21 21:43:19] <thedeadlymoose> "They're glowing alright. Don't worry. I'm sure it's only somewhat likely to kill us."
  307. [2011-12-21 21:43:27] <Scantron> Spencer double checks to make sure that his gun is loaded.
  308. [2011-12-21 21:43:34] <Sequence> If you want to examine the walls close, roll Perception.
  309. [2011-12-21 21:43:44] <TheRaven> 6df+6 walls are weird

  315. [2011-12-21 21:44:23] <Sequence> It's not the /walls/ that are glowing. It's the crystalline masses growing on them.
  316. [2011-12-21 21:44:35] <Sequence> They don't seem to go with the powdery stone the walls are made of.
  317. [2011-12-21 21:44:43] <Soulless|Sicky> "..."
  318. [2011-12-21 21:44:48] <thedeadlymoose> 6df+8 also checking out walls like everyone else

  320. [2011-12-21 21:44:58] <Scantron> "Huh, it's more like the little crystals are making it glow."
  321. [2011-12-21 21:45:13] <Mr_Wilt> Nolan just continues on down the cave.
  322. [2011-12-21 21:45:14] <TheRaven> "$5 the crystals are watching us."
  323. [2011-12-21 21:45:25] <Mr_Wilt> "You're on, Taggart."
  324. [2011-12-21 21:45:27] <Soulless|Sicky> "..."
  325. [2011-12-21 21:45:32] <Soulless|Sicky> Stoat keeps going with Nolan.
  326. [2011-12-21 21:45:38] <Scantron> Spencer walks alongside Rosalind.
  327. [2011-12-21 21:45:58] <TheRaven> Taggart brings up the rear, as usual.
  328. [2011-12-21 21:46:13] <Sequence> The tunnel seems to be getting even more glowy, or maybe there's a light source beyond that last turn.
  329. [2011-12-21 21:46:21] <Tara_Unknown> Rosalind keeps looking around for things that interest her
  330. [2011-12-21 21:46:37] <thedeadlymoose> Eris tries to think if she's read anything about stuff like these crystals before.
  331. [2011-12-21 21:46:41] <thedeadlymoose> 6df+2
  332. [2011-12-21 21:46:41] <Glacon> thedeadlymoose: 2 (6df+2=0, 4-, 3+, 3+, 0, 4-)
  333. [2011-12-21 21:46:51] <Sequence> Nope. They do glitter most fascinatingly, though.
  334. [2011-12-21 21:46:56] <Sequence> And the rock is very powdery.
  335. [2011-12-21 21:46:58] <thedeadlymoose> /Shiny./
  336. [2011-12-21 21:47:07] <thedeadlymoose> "...Anyone know how to science better than me? Seen anything like these crystals before?"
  337. [2011-12-21 21:47:25] <Tara_Unknown> "I'm a biologist, but I can give it a look"
  338. [2011-12-21 21:47:39] <Scantron> 6df+8 tagging Modern Major General: "I know a bit about geology."

  340. [2011-12-21 21:47:54] <Sequence> Are you just peering at them, or are you touching them?
  341. [2011-12-21 21:48:06] <Scantron> Whoops, that should be +5, so 9. And Spencer touches one.
  342. [2011-12-21 21:48:29] <thedeadlymoose> I think we can assume that Eris has also touched one.
  343. [2011-12-21 21:48:31] <Sequence> Upon first glance, they resemble very unflawed quartz. Upon touching, however, it detaches from the wall.
  344. [2011-12-21 21:48:36] <Tara_Unknown> 6df+8 it isn't Radium, is it?
  345. [2011-12-21 21:48:37] <Glacon> Tara_Unknown: it isn't Radium, is it?: 8 (6df+8=0, 3+, 3+, 4-, 0, 4-)
  346. [2011-12-21 21:48:37] <Soulless|Sicky> Stoat pauses for everyone to do their shit.
  347. [2011-12-21 21:48:40] <Sequence> It seems to be connected to the others with a... root system?
  348. [2011-12-21 21:48:59] <Scantron> "Looks like quartz to me. And... roots? Really?"
  349. [2011-12-21 21:49:03] <Mr_Wilt> Nolan, however, decides to scout ahead a bit more.
  350. [2011-12-21 21:49:11] <Sequence> More wall crumbles and it's neighbors detach from the wall as well.
  351. [2011-12-21 21:49:13] <Scantron> "You know, I'm glad I didn't take that bet."
  352. [2011-12-21 21:49:16] <Sequence> It falls to the ground.
  353. [2011-12-21 21:49:17] <TheRaven> "What did I say? They're alive."
  354. [2011-12-21 21:49:30] <Scantron> Spencer backs away from the wall a bit and keeps walking forward.
  355. [2011-12-21 21:49:57] <thedeadlymoose> Eris promptly messes with them more, trying to learn any new things about them. !6df+8 Perception!
  356. [2011-12-21 21:50:05] <Sequence> And Roslaind, they are not Radium.
  357. [2011-12-21 21:50:06] <thedeadlymoose> 6df+8 Perception
  358. [2011-12-21 21:50:07] <Glacon> thedeadlymoose: Perception: 8 (6df+8=3+, 3+, 4-, 0, 4-, 0)
  359. [2011-12-21 21:50:34] <Sequence> They're very, /very/ shiny. They look more like moss than anything, really.
  360. [2011-12-21 21:50:46] <Soulless|Sicky> "Come on..."
  361. [2011-12-21 21:50:51] <Soulless|Sicky> "Nolan's already ditched."
  362. [2011-12-21 21:51:00] -->| Nioki (~chatzilla@synIRC-C7CFEF4F.ngn.east.myfairpoint.net) has joined #redpool
  363. [2011-12-21 21:51:00] <TheRaven> "Dammit guys, if I'm gonna be killed by something, it's sure as hell not going to be some kinda walking jewelry. Leave 'em alone."
  364. [2011-12-21 21:51:17] <Tara_Unknown> "Well, I've eliminated at least one radioactive possibility"
  365. [2011-12-21 21:51:24] <thedeadlymoose> "Hey, these are kind of like moss. If moss had anything to do with rock quartz. Also, they're extremely shiny. We should take some samples along with us. You know, in case we run into a situation where we need ... shiny."
  366. [2011-12-21 21:51:45] <thedeadlymoose> Eris attempts to detach some samples and bag them.
  367. [2011-12-21 21:51:51] <Soulless|Sicky> Stoat would smack Eris if she didn't already know that'd be useless.
  368. [2011-12-21 21:51:52] <Tara_Unknown> "Moss? Are you sure?"
  369. [2011-12-21 21:52:07] <Sequence> Eris is successful!
  370. [2011-12-21 21:52:10] <Scantron> "Right. Oh! That reminds me." He turns to Rosalind. "Have you tried on the necklace yet?"
  371. [2011-12-21 21:52:11] <thedeadlymoose> "That's what the voices in my head tell me, yup!"
  372. [2011-12-21 21:52:23] <thedeadlymoose> Success! Eris pockets as many as her pack can hold.
  373. [2011-12-21 21:52:27] <TheRaven> "I've seen a lot of moss, but this is the first time I've seen it jump off the walls."
  374. [2011-12-21 21:52:33] <Sequence> They didn't jump.
  375. [2011-12-21 21:52:34] <Mr_Wilt> Nolan is still walkin' up ahead, ignorin' the moss.
  376. [2011-12-21 21:52:34] <Tara_Unknown> "I haven't had a chance to"
  377. [2011-12-21 21:52:39] <Sequence> They fell off because the wall collapsed.
  378. [2011-12-21 21:52:51] <Scantron> Spencer nods, then keeps walking down the hall.
  379. [2011-12-21 21:53:04] <Soulless|Sicky> "Come /on/. Nolan's left us behind."
  380. [2011-12-21 21:53:15] <Mr_Wilt> Indeed he has! What does he see?
  381. [2011-12-21 21:53:18] <thedeadlymoose> Eris gives Stoat an innocent look.
  382. [2011-12-21 21:53:19] <Soulless|Sicky> Stoat goes to catch up to Nolan.
  383. [2011-12-21 21:53:23] <thedeadlymoose> And follows. Finally.
  384. [2011-12-21 21:53:25] <Sequence> As the group turns around the corner, they are met with the sight of an entire /cavern/ lined with the rock moss.
  385. [2011-12-21 21:53:27] <TheRaven> Taggart keeps up.
  386. [2011-12-21 21:53:37] <thedeadlymoose> "SWEET."
  387. [2011-12-21 21:53:42] <thedeadlymoose> "...Did I say that out loud?"
  388. [2011-12-21 21:53:47] <Mr_Wilt> "Neat."
  389. [2011-12-21 21:53:49] <Sequence> In fact, some of them seem to be different colors.
  390. [2011-12-21 21:53:50] <Scantron> Spencer takes a few pictures. "Yes, actually. But I concur."
  391. [2011-12-21 21:53:51] <Soulless|Sicky> "...Eris, no touchy touchy."
  392. [2011-12-21 21:53:56] <Sequence> It's like being inside a geode.
  393. [2011-12-21 21:53:59] <Sequence> And in the center of the geode...
  394. [2011-12-21 21:54:13] <Sequence> Is a plinth.
  395. [2011-12-21 21:54:26] <thedeadlymoose> "What, you think the entire thing will collapse on us?" Eris says this like she's not sure if it's a bad thing or not.
  396. [2011-12-21 21:54:27] <Sequence> It alone seems to have been invulnerable to the rock moss.
  397. [2011-12-21 21:54:29] <Soulless|Sicky> "...Spencer, you said something about something?"
  398. [2011-12-21 21:54:40] <Mr_Wilt> Nolan walks up to the plinth, examining it.
  399. [2011-12-21 21:54:51] <Soulless|Sicky> "A stone perhaps?"
  400. [2011-12-21 21:54:52] <Scantron> "Right. Oh! There was an important stone in the mountain. That's probably it."
  401. [2011-12-21 21:54:56] <Soulless|Sicky> Stoat gives Spencer a look.
  402. [2011-12-21 21:54:56] <Sequence> The edges have pictures on them, and in the center, there is a spherical indentatino.
  403. [2011-12-21 21:55:10] <Soulless|Sicky> She walks to the plinth, examining it veeery closely.
  404. [2011-12-21 21:55:12] <Scantron> Spencer goes up to it and sees what he can make of the pictures.
  405. [2011-12-21 21:55:16] <Scantron> He doesn't touch it, though.
  406. [2011-12-21 21:55:19] <Tara_Unknown> "If the crystals are growing in a truly moss-like fashion, there should be two distinct kinds visible"
  407. [2011-12-21 21:55:21] <TheRaven> "So we're looking for a rock, in the middle of a cave, full of glowing moss rocks. This should be just great."
  408. [2011-12-21 21:55:48] <Mr_Wilt> Nolan idly rubs a hand across the plinth, making a "hmm" sound.
  409. [2011-12-21 21:55:52] <Sequence> There's another path out of the cave, opposite of where you came in.
  410. [2011-12-21 21:55:55] <Sequence> The plinth feels cold.
  411. [2011-12-21 21:56:01] <Sequence> It hums gently.
  412. [2011-12-21 21:56:13] <thedeadlymoose> Eris tears her attention away from THE SHINY SO MUCH SHINY to investigate the plinth.
  413. [2011-12-21 21:56:22] <thedeadlymoose> !6df+8 Do I see anything?
  414. [2011-12-21 21:56:27] <thedeadlymoose> ...
  415. [2011-12-21 21:56:33] <thedeadlymoose> 6df+8 Do I see anything?
  416. [2011-12-21 21:56:34] <Glacon> thedeadlymoose: Do I see anything?: 5 (6df+8=4-, 3+, 4-, 4-, 4-, 0)
  417. [2011-12-21 21:56:37] <Mr_Wilt> Content that there isn't much to do here, he heads on down the second path.
  418. [2011-12-21 21:56:40] <Soulless|Sicky> "..."
  419. [2011-12-21 21:56:45] <Sequence> Nope. The shiny is too distracting.
  420. [2011-12-21 21:56:53] <Sequence> The plinth stops humming as Nolan takes his hand off of it.
  421. [2011-12-21 21:56:54] <thedeadlymoose> Shiiiiinnny.
  422. [2011-12-21 21:56:59] <Soulless|Sicky> "...Nolan, stop."
  423. [2011-12-21 21:57:06] <Tara_Unknown> Rosalind investigates the crystal moss. Not because it's shiny, but because she wants to be able to do a scientific comparison
  424. [2011-12-21 21:57:08] <Soulless|Sicky> Stoat puts her hand on the plinth again.
  425. [2011-12-21 21:57:11] <Mr_Wilt> "What?"
  426. [2011-12-21 21:57:12] <thedeadlymoose> Eris snaps her attention back to the plinth and tries her hand at groping it too.
  427. [2011-12-21 21:57:15] <Scantron> "Hm. I'm going to guess that something round goes here." He gestures to the indentation.
  428. [2011-12-21 21:57:18] <Mr_Wilt> Nolan stops.
  429. [2011-12-21 21:57:20] <Soulless|Sicky> "There's something here."
  430. [2011-12-21 21:57:21] <Sequence> As she rubs it, it hums like a crystal glass.
  431. [2011-12-21 21:57:37] <Mr_Wilt> "There's probably something down there, too."
  432. [2011-12-21 21:57:44] <Sequence> The tone changes with the pictures you touch.,
  433. [2011-12-21 21:57:48] <Soulless|Sicky> "..."
  434. [2011-12-21 21:57:59] <Sequence> ALSO REDACT EVERYTHING ABOUT ANOTHER PATH
  435. [2011-12-21 21:58:03] <Sequence> THAT WAS THE GM DERPING HARD
  436. [2011-12-21 21:58:04] <Mr_Wilt> Nolan reluctantly stays in the cavern.
  437. [2011-12-21 21:58:10] <Soulless|Sicky> "Spencer, make heads to tails about this?"
  438. [2011-12-21 21:58:29] <Scantron> Spencer notices the tones, and attempts to play some basic scales. "I'm not sure yet."
  439. [2011-12-21 21:58:42] <Sequence> The notes sound sour.
  440. [2011-12-21 21:58:53] <thedeadlymoose> "A musical instrument? An... unhappy musical instrument?"
  441. [2011-12-21 21:59:05] |<-- Wombat has left irc.synirc.net (Broken pipe)
  442. [2011-12-21 21:59:07] <Sequence> The pictures seem important.
  443. [2011-12-21 21:59:07] <Scantron> Spencer switches to a minor key then. "One must work /with/ the instrument..."
  444. [2011-12-21 21:59:17] <TheRaven> "Out'a tune."
  445. [2011-12-21 21:59:20] <Soulless|Sicky> Stoat looks to Spencer and examines the pictures themselves.
  446. [2011-12-21 21:59:23] <thedeadlymoose> Eris stares at the pictures.
  447. [2011-12-21 21:59:24] <Soulless|Sicky> What're they?
  448. [2011-12-21 21:59:48] <Sequence> They edge the plinth like lace. They're out of order.
  449. [2011-12-21 21:59:53] <Sequence> Academics to read them.
  450. [2011-12-21 22:00:02] <thedeadlymoose> !6df+2 this time for sure!
  451. [2011-12-21 22:00:04] <Mr_Wilt> 6df+4 Sure, why not?
  452. [2011-12-21 22:00:04] <Glacon> Mr_Wilt: Sure, why not?: 2 (6df+4=4-, 0, 3+, 4-, 4-, 0)
  453. [2011-12-21 22:00:07] <Scantron> 6df+8 Guys. Guys. Guys. I *got* this.

  455. [2011-12-21 22:00:10] <Soulless|Sicky> "...Spencer, get over see if you can read this."
  456. [2011-12-21 22:00:10] <thedeadlymoose> 6df+2 this time for sure!
  457. [2011-12-21 22:00:11] <Glacon> thedeadlymoose: this time for sure!: 3 (6df+2=3+, 3+, 4-, 0, 3+, 4-)
  458. [2011-12-21 22:00:16] <Sequence> Eris can see that they were made by people!
  459. [2011-12-21 22:00:23] <Sequence> Congratulations.
  460. [2011-12-21 22:00:24] <thedeadlymoose> "Guys!"
  461. [2011-12-21 22:00:28] <thedeadlymoose> "These pictures?"
  462. [2011-12-21 22:00:30] <Tara_Unknown> "If it's a musical instrument, it's perfect for you to figure out." Rosalind sounds particularly encouraging, although she's mostly taking notes and carefully poking around the crystals
  463. [2011-12-21 22:00:33] <thedeadlymoose> "They were made by /people/."
  464. [2011-12-21 22:00:39] <thedeadlymoose> Eris nods sagely.
  465. [2011-12-21 22:00:49] <Soulless|Sicky> Stoat is going to kill Eris, but she already knows that means nothing.
  466. [2011-12-21 22:00:50] <TheRaven> Taggart knows nothing of symbols. He contents himself by looking around the room for anything that might jump out. Literally or figuratively.
  467. [2011-12-21 22:01:19] <Scantron> "Brilliant observation." Spencer's probably being sarcastic, even though his tone of voice doesn't indicate it.
  468. [2011-12-21 22:01:35] <thedeadlymoose> Eris gives Stoat and Spencer yet another completely innocent look.
  469. [2011-12-21 22:01:40] <Mr_Wilt> Nolan baps Spencer.
  470. [2011-12-21 22:01:57] <Sequence> Spencer can see that it's telling the tale of a race of people. There were 2 groups, masters and servants, who worshiped a single stone.
  471. [2011-12-21 22:02:05] <Sequence> The masters were cruel.
  472. [2011-12-21 22:02:07] <Scantron> Spencer continues to try and coax something resembling a tune out of the rock.
  473. [2011-12-21 22:02:23] <Soulless|Sicky> Stoat waits to see if Spencer can make anything out.
  474. [2011-12-21 22:02:28] <Sequence> When he follows the order of the pictures, the tones are sweet and melodic.
  475. [2011-12-21 22:02:38] <Sequence> The slaves revolted, using the stone to bring their dead to life.
  476. [2011-12-21 22:03:15] <Scantron> "All right, I think I have an idea of what it's about. There were two groups, masters and servants. They worshiped a single stone. The masters were cruel, but the slaves revolted and used the stone to bring their dead to life."
  477. [2011-12-21 22:03:30] <thedeadlymoose> "What did they do to the masters?"
  478. [2011-12-21 22:03:32] <Sequence> The dead were forced to slay the masters.
  479. [2011-12-21 22:03:47] <Sequence> That picture's tone is a sad chord.
  480. [2011-12-21 22:03:55] <Scantron> "The dead killed the masters."
  481. [2011-12-21 22:03:57] <Soulless|Sicky> "..."
  482. [2011-12-21 22:04:02] <TheRaven> "Bring their dead back...are you tellin' me we're gonna be seeing zombies?" He makes sure his bayonet is firmly attached, and grins.
  483. [2011-12-21 22:04:05] <Soulless|Sicky> "Where does this cave fit in."
  484. [2011-12-21 22:04:05] <Mr_Wilt> "Any dead left?"
  485. [2011-12-21 22:04:11] <thedeadlymoose> "Why didn't the masters bring their own dead back to life?"
  486. [2011-12-21 22:04:32] <Sequence> The stone slaughtered the living and gave the city back to the dead.
  487. [2011-12-21 22:04:34] <Tara_Unknown> "That is downright creepy, Spencer"
  488. [2011-12-21 22:05:00] <Scantron> "The stone killed the living and gave the city back to the dead. And yeah, it is." This is fascinating him.
  489. [2011-12-21 22:05:01] <thedeadlymoose> Eris rolls her eyes at Taggart. "Zombies. Boring. Can't mess with their heads. Only get to blow them off."
  490. [2011-12-21 22:05:15] <Sequence> The last picture is of a skeleton holding the stone, buried under a mountain.
  491. [2011-12-21 22:05:22] <TheRaven> "Hey, that happens to be my specialty."
  492. [2011-12-21 22:05:44] <Mr_Wilt> "Killing zombies doesn't sound too bad."
  493. [2011-12-21 22:05:55] <Sequence> As Spencer touches it, the plinth hums furiously, starting to vibrate.
  494. [2011-12-21 22:06:03] <Soulless|Sicky> "..."
  495. [2011-12-21 22:06:10] <Scantron> Spencer retracts his hand.
  496. [2011-12-21 22:06:10] <Soulless|Sicky> "Okay. What're we to so now."
  497. [2011-12-21 22:06:21] <Mr_Wilt> "Find the stone?"
  498. [2011-12-21 22:06:30] <Scantron> "...well." He takes a few paces back. "So much for being the stone whisperer."
  499. [2011-12-21 22:06:34] <Sequence> It vibrates harder and faster, it's hum reaching a whining crescendo.
  500. [2011-12-21 22:06:36] <Sequence> Ath, everyone.
  501. [2011-12-21 22:06:42] <Mr_Wilt> 6df+6

  511. [2011-12-21 22:06:58] <Glacon> thedeadlymoose: Will she fall over this time?: 4 (6df+6=4-, 4-, 4-, 3+, 3+, 4-)
  512. [2011-12-21 22:06:58] <Tara_Unknown> "Physiologically, a zombie wouldn't be too different from the living creature it was made from. I would have to do a dissection to figure out what organs were still functioning and how, but tendons are still tendons"
  513. [2011-12-21 22:07:15] <Tara_Unknown> 6df+4 not an athlete

  515. [2011-12-21 22:07:30] <Sequence> The plinth explodes.
  516. [2011-12-21 22:07:38] <Sequence> Luckily, only Eris is hit by the shrapnel.
  517. [2011-12-21 22:07:41] <Sequence> -1 body.
  518. [2011-12-21 22:07:50] <Mr_Wilt> "Shit!"
  519. [2011-12-21 22:07:58] <Scantron> "Are you okay, Miss Jackson?"
  520. [2011-12-21 22:08:01] <Soulless|Sicky> "..."
  521. [2011-12-21 22:08:11] <Soulless|Sicky> Stoat checks. What could've caused this explosion?
  522. [2011-12-21 22:08:12] <Mr_Wilt> "Good job there, Spencer."
  523. [2011-12-21 22:08:14] <thedeadlymoose> Eris looks down at the shrapnel cuts.
  524. [2011-12-21 22:08:19] <Sequence> There is silence in the cave, broken only by the group and the crunch as rock moss and stone falls from the walls.
  525. [2011-12-21 22:08:21] <thedeadlymoose> "Well, at least it was shiny shrapnel."
  526. [2011-12-21 22:08:34] <Scantron> "Well, it went better than the last time you asked me to translate something."
  527. [2011-12-21 22:08:39] <Sequence> As the dust clears, a hole is revealed where the plinth was.
  528. [2011-12-21 22:08:43] <Mr_Wilt> "Oh fuck off."
  529. [2011-12-21 22:08:46] <Scantron> Spencer looks down the hole.
  530. [2011-12-21 22:08:50] <thedeadlymoose> "How did you manage to break it? I thought that stone was there for centuries."
  531. [2011-12-21 22:08:51] <Mr_Wilt> As does Nolan.
  532. [2011-12-21 22:08:55] <Scantron> "Come on, Mr. Patton. You know you love me."
  533. [2011-12-21 22:08:57] <Soulless|Sicky> Stoat shines her flashlight down.
  534. [2011-12-21 22:09:03] <Sequence> There are grips cut into the stone.
  535. [2011-12-21 22:09:05] <Sequence> No rock moss here.
  536. [2011-12-21 22:09:08] <Scantron> "And I'm not sure. I just touched the last rune, and that happened."
  537. [2011-12-21 22:09:11] <Mr_Wilt> "I'd love to push you down this hole."
  538. [2011-12-21 22:09:12] <TheRaven> "I think you mighta pissed it off, Spencer."
  539. [2011-12-21 22:09:18] <Soulless|Sicky> Stoat climbs down.
  540. [2011-12-21 22:09:29] <Scantron> Spencer follows.
  541. [2011-12-21 22:09:30] <Mr_Wilt> Nolan follows after.
  542. [2011-12-21 22:09:55] <TheRaven> Taggart heads down last.
  543. [2011-12-21 22:09:56] <thedeadlymoose> Eris follows. Probably still bleeding.
  544. [2011-12-21 22:10:15] <Soulless|Sicky> Eris looks to be functional... she's a tough cookie. Annoying, but tough.
  545. [2011-12-21 22:10:37] <Sequence> There's a glow coming from the bottom of the hole.
  546. [2011-12-21 22:10:49] <Soulless|Sicky> "...Something down there."
  547. [2011-12-21 22:10:50] <Scantron> Spencer makes note of it.
  548. [2011-12-21 22:10:56] <Soulless|Sicky> She climbs down a bit faster.
  549. [2011-12-21 22:11:21] <thedeadlymoose> Eris climbs down as fast as possible.
  550. [2011-12-21 22:11:25] <Mr_Wilt> As does Nolan. Gotta keep up the pace!
  551. [2011-12-21 22:11:33] <thedeadlymoose> "Exciting. As long as it's not zombies!"
  552. [2011-12-21 22:11:36] <Scantron> Spencer goes a bit faster.
  553. [2011-12-21 22:11:49] <Sequence> They reach the bottom.
  554. [2011-12-21 22:11:58] <Soulless|Sicky> What
  555. [2011-12-21 22:12:01] <Soulless|Sicky> s at the bottom?
  556. [2011-12-21 22:12:02] <Tara_Unknown> Rosalind follows Spencer as well as she can
  557. [2011-12-21 22:12:03] <thedeadlymoose> Eris takes an eager look around.
  558. [2011-12-21 22:12:05] <Scantron> Spencer takes out his revolver and looks around.
  559. [2011-12-21 22:12:05] <Soulless|Sicky> Stoat shines her light around.
  560. [2011-12-21 22:12:21] <Mr_Wilt> Nolan flicks on his rifle's flashlight attachment and looks around as well.
  561. [2011-12-21 22:12:22] <Scantron> Spencer holds Rosalind near once they're both at the bottom.
  562. [2011-12-21 22:12:23] <Sequence> There is so much rock moss, Stoat's flashlight is almost blinding.
  563. [2011-12-21 22:12:35] <Sequence> The walls look like a jewelry box.
  564. [2011-12-21 22:12:35] <TheRaven> Taggart drops down and winces at the light.
  565. [2011-12-21 22:12:47] <thedeadlymoose> Eris stares at the walls in a mixture of awe and glee.
  566. [2011-12-21 22:12:52] <Scantron> Spencer shields his eyes a bit.
  567. [2011-12-21 22:12:57] <Soulless|Sicky> Stoat smacks Eris upside the head.
  568. [2011-12-21 22:13:00] <Mr_Wilt> Mm, pretty. Nolan scrapes a few off and stows them in his pocket.
  569. [2011-12-21 22:13:01] <Sequence> So many different colors...
  570. [2011-12-21 22:13:04] <Mr_Wilt> Eva would probably like them.
  571. [2011-12-21 22:13:05] <Tara_Unknown> Rosalind seems a little jumpy even with Spencer's arm around her
  572. [2011-12-21 22:13:06] <thedeadlymoose> "Hey! What did I do?"
  573. [2011-12-21 22:13:07] <Soulless|Sicky> Then looks around.
  574. [2011-12-21 22:13:15] <Soulless|Sicky> Is there anything to note?
  575. [2011-12-21 22:13:19] <thedeadlymoose> Eris wants to collect /every single color/.
  576. [2011-12-21 22:13:25] <Sequence> Well, there's a room not too far away.
  577. [2011-12-21 22:13:37] <thedeadlymoose> Eris heads for it!
  578. [2011-12-21 22:13:41] <Mr_Wilt> As does Nolan!
  579. [2011-12-21 22:13:44] <Soulless|Sicky> Stoat goes to the room, examining everything along the way.
  580. [2011-12-21 22:13:46] <Scantron> Spencer leads Rosalind towards the room.
  581. [2011-12-21 22:13:58] <Sequence> In this one, the rock moss seems to have been cultivated.
  582. [2011-12-21 22:14:13] <Sequence> There's only a mix of yellow and orange, giving a soft, homey glow to the room.
  583. [2011-12-21 22:14:19] <Sequence> There's another plinth.
  584. [2011-12-21 22:14:28] <Soulless|Sicky> "Spencer, can you read?"
  585. [2011-12-21 22:14:36] <Sequence> It has a dead body on it.
  586. [2011-12-21 22:14:37] <Soulless|Sicky> Stoat examines the plinth curiously. Same pictures?
  587. [2011-12-21 22:14:41] <TheRaven> "Take cover, everyone."
  588. [2011-12-21 22:14:42] <Tara_Unknown> "We might want to be more careful with this one"
  589. [2011-12-21 22:14:42] <Soulless|Sicky> Oh dear.
  590. [2011-12-21 22:14:43] <Sequence> Yes, there are pictures.
  591. [2011-12-21 22:14:44] <thedeadlymoose> "Hey Spencer, if you're gonna blow this one up, I have no objections. But can you tell me to duck first?"
  592. [2011-12-21 22:14:45] <Scantron> Spencer smiles. "You know I can." Spencer goes over to examine the plinth, but doesn't touch it.
  593. [2011-12-21 22:14:49] <Sequence> It's a skeleton.
  594. [2011-12-21 22:14:49] <Mr_Wilt> "Egh." Nolan examines the body.
  595. [2011-12-21 22:14:55] <Mr_Wilt> The skeleton, even.
  596. [2011-12-21 22:14:56] <Scantron> "Don't worry, I'll try not to blow it up."
  597. [2011-12-21 22:15:00] <thedeadlymoose> Eris also checks out the body and pictures.
  598. [2011-12-21 22:15:04] <Tara_Unknown> Rosalind sees the dead body and her hand twitches toward her bag
  599. [2011-12-21 22:15:15] <Sequence> It's hands are crossed over it's chest, and balanced on it's ribs is a large, milky blue sphere.
  600. [2011-12-21 22:15:17] <Soulless|Sicky> She waits for Spencer to read, examining around further.
  601. [2011-12-21 22:15:27] <Mr_Wilt> Nolan yoinks the orb.
  602. [2011-12-21 22:15:30] <TheRaven> Taggart keeps an eye on it. He's played enough RPGs to know that skeleton is going to get up.
  603. [2011-12-21 22:15:30] <Mr_Wilt> Sphere.
  604. [2011-12-21 22:15:33] <Mr_Wilt> Thing.
  605. [2011-12-21 22:15:34] <Sequence> The pictures seems to be a story of a person's life and life after death.
  606. [2011-12-21 22:15:35] <Soulless|Sicky> "..."
  607. [2011-12-21 22:15:45] <Sequence> This skeleton was the leader of the dead, that killed the masters.
  608. [2011-12-21 22:15:48] <Soulless|Sicky> "Nolan, why are you touching objects without knowing what they are."
  609. [2011-12-21 22:15:51] <thedeadlymoose> Nolan only manages to grab it because Eris was behind him.
  610. [2011-12-21 22:15:53] <Tara_Unknown> She chews her lip and starts making sketches of the skeleton for comparison purposes
  611. [2011-12-21 22:15:58] <thedeadlymoose> "Nolan! Can I take a look at that?"
  612. [2011-12-21 22:15:59] <Mr_Wilt> "I'm a rebel, I guess." Nolan smiles a bit.
  613. [2011-12-21 22:15:59] <Sequence> The skeleton shudders as Nolan takes the orb.
  614. [2011-12-21 22:16:01] <Scantron> "Seems to be someone's life story and afterlife story. This fella here was the leader of the dead I mentioned earlier."
  615. [2011-12-21 22:16:01] <thedeadlymoose> "Too?"
  616. [2011-12-21 22:16:01] <TheRaven> "Didn't I tell you guys not to touch stuff?"
  617. [2011-12-21 22:16:06] <Soulless|Sicky> "..."
  618. [2011-12-21 22:16:07] <Sequence> And then it puts a hand on the plinth.
  619. [2011-12-21 22:16:12] <thedeadlymoose> "C'mon, Taggart. Learn to live a little."
  620. [2011-12-21 22:16:12] <Soulless|Sicky> "..."
  621. [2011-12-21 22:16:15] <TheRaven> "See!"
  622. [2011-12-21 22:16:16] <Scantron> Spencer jumps back.
  623. [2011-12-21 22:16:17] <Mr_Wilt> "..oh, well."
  624. [2011-12-21 22:16:17] <Sequence> And lifts it's head.
  625. [2011-12-21 22:16:19] <Soulless|Sicky> Stoat smacks Nolan upside the head.
  626. [2011-12-21 22:16:23] <Mr_Wilt> Nolan pockets the orb. "My bad."
  627. [2011-12-21 22:16:24] <TheRaven> "That's exactly why I said that!"
  628. [2011-12-21 22:16:27] <Mr_Wilt> He wines as Stoat smacks him.
  629. [2011-12-21 22:16:28] <thedeadlymoose> "Well hello there Mister Skeleton. Or is it Mss?"
  630. [2011-12-21 22:16:30] <Mr_Wilt> winces*
  631. [2011-12-21 22:16:39] <Sequence> There is a sound like dusty gravel.
  632. [2011-12-21 22:16:41] <Soulless|Sicky> Nolan you /fucking idiot/ .
  633. [2011-12-21 22:16:47] <Sequence> "Hiiiiiiraak?"
  634. [2011-12-21 22:16:55] <Scantron> "Pardon?"
  635. [2011-12-21 22:16:56] <Sequence> It holds out it's hand to Nolan.
  636. [2011-12-21 22:17:02] <Mr_Wilt> Nolan blinks.
  637. [2011-12-21 22:17:06] <Soulless|Sicky> Stoat looks to Nolan.
  638. [2011-12-21 22:17:07] <Sequence> "Hirak."
  639. [2011-12-21 22:17:12] <Mr_Wilt> Nolan looks down at /himself/.
  640. [2011-12-21 22:17:12] <Sequence> It's voice is clearer, now.
  641. [2011-12-21 22:17:15] <Soulless|Sicky> "...Give the orb back?"
  642. [2011-12-21 22:17:19] <thedeadlymoose> "Is that a question or an answer?"
  643. [2011-12-21 22:17:35] <Mr_Wilt> "I, uh, hi?"
  644. [2011-12-21 22:17:42] <Scantron> Spencer looks at the skeleton and holds his pistol up.
  645. [2011-12-21 22:17:43] <Sequence> It sits up and points to itself. "Melar. Lar hirak?"
  646. [2011-12-21 22:18:00] <Soulless|Sicky> "..."
  647. [2011-12-21 22:18:01] <Mr_Wilt> Nolan tries to grasp what it's saying. Academics?
  648. [2011-12-21 22:18:02] <thedeadlymoose> Eris points to it. "Melar?"
  649. [2011-12-21 22:18:05] <Scantron> "Maybe it's asking for your name."
  650. [2011-12-21 22:18:16] <Sequence> It nods and points to Eris. "Hirak?"
  651. [2011-12-21 22:18:20] <thedeadlymoose> "Eris."
  652. [2011-12-21 22:18:31] <Mr_Wilt> Nolan points to himself. "Nolan. Nooo-lan."
  653. [2011-12-21 22:18:43] <Soulless|Sicky> Stoat remains silent.
  654. [2011-12-21 22:18:51] <Tara_Unknown> "How is it...it has nothing that should be allowing it movement, let alone voice. There's no trachea, tendons, or musculature!"
  655. [2011-12-21 22:18:53] <TheRaven> "Just give it the bloody stone."
  656. [2011-12-21 22:18:56] <Sequence> "Eh-ris. No-lan. No-lan, mik saphir."
  657. [2011-12-21 22:19:03] <Sequence> It holds it's hand out to Nolan.
  658. [2011-12-21 22:19:11] <thedeadlymoose> Eris points to the sphere. "Saphir?"
  659. [2011-12-21 22:19:16] <Soulless|Sicky> "..."
  660. [2011-12-21 22:19:18] <Mr_Wilt> "Saphir?" He takes the sphere back out of his pocket. "This?"
  661. [2011-12-21 22:19:25] <Sequence> "Kal, saphir." It makes a beckoning motion.
  662. [2011-12-21 22:19:28] <Scantron> "I'm going to assume that it's magic."
  663. [2011-12-21 22:19:29] <Soulless|Sicky> "They revived the dead with something. Maybe that."
  664. [2011-12-21 22:19:39] <Mr_Wilt> "Do I give it to him?"
  665. [2011-12-21 22:19:45] <thedeadlymoose> "Wait. Maybe it wants something in exchange!"
  666. [2011-12-21 22:19:46] -->| Fifthman (~friiwinds@23623F3E.B8019D25.D7D820B8.IP) has joined #redpool
  667. [2011-12-21 22:19:47] <Sequence> It reaches out and grabs it.
  668. [2011-12-21 22:19:47] <Scantron> "Do you want to summon the dead?"
  669. [2011-12-21 22:19:54] <thedeadlymoose> "Di we have anything interesting to - oh."
  670. [2011-12-21 22:19:55] <Sequence> "Saphir."
  671. [2011-12-21 22:19:56] <Mr_Wilt> Nolan blinks.
  672. [2011-12-21 22:20:33] <Scantron> "I'd give it back."
  673. [2011-12-21 22:20:36] <Mr_Wilt> "Well, uh, sorry, I guess."
  674. [2011-12-21 22:20:59] <Sequence> It points to the pictograms. "Saphir. Orpa norkolta Saphir. Melar dereak Saphir. Saphir. Neur clark Melar."
  675. [2011-12-21 22:21:22] <Scantron> REDACT
  676. [2011-12-21 22:21:22] <TheRaven> "Y'speak English?"
  677. [2011-12-21 22:21:40] <Sequence> It looks down at the sphere. "Klemanor... Pache... English?"
  678. [2011-12-21 22:21:50] <Mr_Wilt> Nolan examines the pictograms it's pointing at.
  679. [2011-12-21 22:22:20] <thedeadlymoose> Eris points to the sphere in the pictograms. "Saphir?"
  680. [2011-12-21 22:22:24] <Scantron> "I was about to mention earlier, this skeleton here was the leader of the dead that killed the living."
  681. [2011-12-21 22:22:27] <Tara_Unknown> "Spencer, even with the things I've seen, most still have some kind of physiology that makes sense, even in a twisted sort of way"
  682. [2011-12-21 22:22:34] <Soulless|Sicky> "..."
  683. [2011-12-21 22:22:38] <thedeadlymoose> "Wait, Spencer, you knew that and didn't SAY anything?"
  684. [2011-12-21 22:22:49] <Scantron> "I forgot somewhat when the skeleton started moving."
  685. [2011-12-21 22:22:53] <Soulless|Sicky> "Spencer, got a clue how to speak the language?"
  686. [2011-12-21 22:22:57] <thedeadlymoose> "A likely story!"
  687. [2011-12-21 22:23:14] <Sequence> It taps the stone, commandingly. "English!"
  688. [2011-12-21 22:23:22] <Tara_Unknown> "Actually, I think he did"
  689. [2011-12-21 22:23:46] <Scantron> "You know, you're right."
  690. [2011-12-21 22:23:55] <Soulless|Sicky> Stoat goes ignored.
  691. [2011-12-21 22:23:56] <Soulless|Sicky> Okay.
  692. [2011-12-21 22:24:08] <Scantron> "I suppose I forgot that I actually /did/ mention it." Does Spencer have any idea of how to speak the language?
  693. [2011-12-21 22:24:11] <Sequence> "Melar komar saphir!"
  694. [2011-12-21 22:24:19] <Sequence> Academics to figure out what it means.
  695. [2011-12-21 22:24:25] <thedeadlymoose> Eris thwacks Spencer upside the head. "Stop ignoring her!"
  696. [2011-12-21 22:24:31] <Mr_Wilt> 6df+4 LET ME SPEAK THE LANGUAGE OF YOUR PEOPLE.
  697. [2011-12-21 22:24:32] <Glacon> Mr_Wilt: LET ME SPEAK THE LANGUAGE OF YOUR PEOPLE.: 4 (6df+4=4-, 4-, 3+, 0, 3+, 0)
  698. [2011-12-21 22:24:40] <thedeadlymoose> 6df+2 Eris has read so many books on this! SO MANY.
  699. [2011-12-21 22:24:41] <Glacon> thedeadlymoose: Eris has read so many books on this! SO MANY.: 0 (6df+2=0, 4-, 3+, 0, 4-, 4-)
  700. [2011-12-21 22:24:46] <Scantron> 6df+8 I came here to fuck bitches and talk to skeletons.
  701. [2011-12-21 22:24:46] <Glacon> Scantron: I came here to fuck bitches and talk to skeletons.: 8 (6df+8=3+, 4-, 4-, 4-, 3+, 3+)
  702. [2011-12-21 22:24:53] <Sequence> Nolan figures out that it's name is Melar! And that thing is a saphir!
  703. [2011-12-21 22:25:05] <thedeadlymoose> ...By "so many", I mean she maybe picked up a book on linguistics once, and then put it down again.
  704. [2011-12-21 22:25:10] <Soulless|Sicky> Stoat waits.
  705. [2011-12-21 22:25:14] <Sequence> Eris just figures out that it's name is Melar.
  706. [2011-12-21 22:25:16] <Mr_Wilt> Nolan already realized this!
  707. [2011-12-21 22:25:22] <Sequence> Also, for biologists, it's a male skeleton.
  708. [2011-12-21 22:25:28] <thedeadlymoose> "Hey, I think its name is Melar!"
  709. [2011-12-21 22:25:30] <Scantron> What does Spencer figure out?
  710. [2011-12-21 22:25:33] <thedeadlymoose> "...Wait. I knew that already."
  711. [2011-12-21 22:25:41] <Soulless|Sicky> "..."
  712. [2011-12-21 22:25:43] <Sequence> Spencer, you figured out that it's trying to command that stone! Probably to make it speak English!
  713. [2011-12-21 22:25:50] <Soulless|Sicky> Stoat facepalms.
  714. [2011-12-21 22:25:53] <thedeadlymoose> "Maybe I should have actually read that one book on xenolinguistics."
  715. [2011-12-21 22:26:01] <Scantron> "It's trying to get the stone to speak English."
  716. [2011-12-21 22:26:06] <Tara_Unknown> "He's a male, guya"
  717. [2011-12-21 22:26:09] <Scantron> "I think."
  718. [2011-12-21 22:26:19] <Mr_Wilt> "Oh, well, uh. Does it need some help?"
  719. [2011-12-21 22:26:24] <Mr_Wilt> Nolan offers his hand, as if to help him.
  720. [2011-12-21 22:26:35] <Sequence> It shakes the stone. "Melar speak dehat English? Saphir!"
  721. [2011-12-21 22:26:39] <thedeadlymoose> "Maybe he wants us to speak into the stone."
  722. [2011-12-21 22:26:49] <Soulless|Sicky> "Hello Melar."
  723. [2011-12-21 22:26:53] <thedeadlymoose> "A B C D..." Eris begins repeating the alphabet into the stone.
  724. [2011-12-21 22:27:08] <Sequence> It nods to Stoat and pulls the stone away from Eris.
  725. [2011-12-21 22:27:16] <Sequence> It looks so sad.
  726. [2011-12-21 22:27:24] <Sequence> Somehow.
  727. [2011-12-21 22:27:38] <thedeadlymoose> "Can you understand us, Mister Skeleton?"
  728. [2011-12-21 22:27:46] <Mr_Wilt> "Mister /Melar/, that is."
  729. [2011-12-21 22:27:50] <Soulless|Sicky> "Melar... Saphir? What does Saphir do?"
  730. [2011-12-21 22:27:53] <thedeadlymoose> "Mister Melar, I mean."
  731. [2011-12-21 22:27:56] <Sequence> It just looks at them.
  732. [2011-12-21 22:27:59] <Scantron> "[Perhaps it's more comfortable in German?] [Or perhaps in Latin.] [Do you speak Greek?] [Maybe it knows Russian.]"
  733. [2011-12-21 22:28:07] <thedeadlymoose> "Showoff."
  734. [2011-12-21 22:28:18] <Mr_Wilt> "Quit confusing it, you ass." Nolan baps Spencer.
  735. [2011-12-21 22:28:29] <Scantron> "Perhaps English simply isn't its forte."
  736. [2011-12-21 22:28:41] <thedeadlymoose> "Are you lonely, Mr. Melar?"
  737. [2011-12-21 22:28:54] <Mr_Wilt> "I'm not going around asking if it speaks Gaelic, am I?"
  738. [2011-12-21 22:28:57] <Sequence> It looks at the stone and then hands it to Nolan. "No-lan. Melar ka komar saphir. Ka komar. Melar por... melk. Jalam, melk."
  739. [2011-12-21 22:29:10] <Mr_Wilt> Nolan takes the stone, blinking.
  740. [2011-12-21 22:29:11] <Sequence> It lays back down.
  741. [2011-12-21 22:29:21] <Scantron> "Well, maybe it does."
  742. [2011-12-21 22:29:29] <Mr_Wilt> "I doubt it."
  743. [2011-12-21 22:29:34] <Scantron> "Have you tried?"
  744. [2011-12-21 22:29:40] <Mr_Wilt> "The moon isn't infamous for being invaded by Ireland.
  745. [2011-12-21 22:29:45] <Sequence> "No-lan komar saphir nar. Gop."
  746. [2011-12-21 22:30:00] <Soulless|Sicky> "Spencer, what can you make of it?"
  747. [2011-12-21 22:30:05] <Mr_Wilt> Nolan's not really sure what it's asking of him.
  748. [2011-12-21 22:30:08] <Sequence> It makes a shooing motion.
  749. [2011-12-21 22:30:09] <Scantron> What /can/ Spencer make of it?
  750. [2011-12-21 22:30:22] <Sequence> Spencer can tell that it's given up the sphere to Nolan.
  751. [2011-12-21 22:30:27] <thedeadlymoose> "Do you want to come with us, Mr. Melar?" Eris makes a waving, come-hither motion and turns on her heel.
  752. [2011-12-21 22:30:31] <Sequence> And now it wants everyone to go away so it can... rest?
  753. [2011-12-21 22:30:43] <Scantron> "I guess it belongs to you now, Mr. Patton. And it wants us to leave so it can rest, I think."
  754. [2011-12-21 22:30:47] <Sequence> As they watch, the bones detach and crumble.
  755. [2011-12-21 22:30:51] <Soulless|Sicky> "..."
  756. [2011-12-21 22:30:56] <Soulless|Sicky> "Goodbye, Melar."
  757. [2011-12-21 22:30:58] <Sequence> It sighs one last time, and then is dust.
  758. [2011-12-21 22:30:58] <Mr_Wilt> "..Oh. Okay."
  759. [2011-12-21 22:31:11] <thedeadlymoose> Eris bows her head and echoes Stoat. "Goodbye, Melar."
  760. [2011-12-21 22:31:13] <Tara_Unknown> "Figures"
  761. [2011-12-21 22:31:23] <Soulless|Sicky> "...Spencer, you know what this... Saphir, does?"
  762. [2011-12-21 22:31:37] <Sequence> There's a door behind the plinth.
  763. [2011-12-21 22:31:43] <thedeadlymoose> "I thought it raises the dead?"
  764. [2011-12-21 22:31:49] <Scantron> "Well, judging from the pictures on the first plith, it might be able to raise the dead, yes."
  765. [2011-12-21 22:31:52] <Mr_Wilt> "..Does that mean I can raise the dead, now?"
  766. [2011-12-21 22:32:12] <TheRaven> "Let's not try."
  767. [2011-12-21 22:32:15] <thedeadlymoose> "I am completely on board with this plan. Let's do it, Nolan."
  768. [2011-12-21 22:32:17] <Scantron> "Well, last time someone tried that, the living were killed."
  769. [2011-12-21 22:32:21] <Scantron> "So, maybe, but don't."
  770. [2011-12-21 22:32:24] <thedeadlymoose> "Oh c'mon, Taggart."
  771. [2011-12-21 22:32:49] <TheRaven> "Look, we already summoned one almighty dickhead this week, that's probably enough."
  772. [2011-12-21 22:33:07] <Mr_Wilt> "He's only a dickhead because you're a dickhead back," Nolan points out, still examining the stone.
  773. [2011-12-21 22:33:11] <Soulless|Sicky> "We wouldn't know how even if we wanted."
  774. [2011-12-21 22:33:19] <thedeadlymoose> "We summoned something? Why didn't I hear about this?" Eris grumbles. "Goddamn paperwork..."
  775. [2011-12-21 22:33:21] <Sequence> The stone seems to be made of lapis lazuli.
  776. [2011-12-21 22:33:34] <Mr_Wilt> Nolan's not quite sure what that is, but it's awfully pretty.
  777. [2011-12-21 22:33:36] <Tara_Unknown> "I haven't even met this summoned person you are all talking about, and I still think summoning the dead is a bad idea"
  778. [2011-12-21 22:33:37] <Soulless|Sicky> Stoat touches the stone. Does it hum?
  779. [2011-12-21 22:33:38] <TheRaven> "No, no, Spencer was the dickhead." He grins.
  780. [2011-12-21 22:33:41] <Sequence> It has patterns carved into it, too.
  781. [2011-12-21 22:33:47] <Sequence> It does not hum.
  782. [2011-12-21 22:33:47] <thedeadlymoose> "Look at it this way, Taggart. Maybe this stone will horribly murder us if we fail this quest. We should really, you know, play it safe and go do exciting things with it."
  783. [2011-12-21 22:33:54] <Sequence> It does feel awfully warm, though.
  784. [2011-12-21 22:33:57] <Scantron> Spencer examines the patterns.
  785. [2011-12-21 22:34:05] <Mr_Wilt> Nolan snerks. Okay, that was a good one.
  786. [2011-12-21 22:34:18] <Soulless|Sicky> "It's warm..."
  787. [2011-12-21 22:34:29] <Scantron> Can Spencer make anything out of the patterns?
  788. [2011-12-21 22:34:57] <Sequence> No. They're extremely beautiful, though.
  789. [2011-12-21 22:35:16] <Scantron> Spencer takes a few pictures.
  790. [2011-12-21 22:35:19] <thedeadlymoose> Eris stares at them too.
  791. [2011-12-21 22:35:24] <Mr_Wilt> Nolan examines the stone, thinking. "Uh, Saphir."
  792. [2011-12-21 22:35:27] <Soulless|Sicky> "...We should find a way back."
  793. [2011-12-21 22:35:31] <Sequence> It hums in his hands.
  794. [2011-12-21 22:35:32] <Mr_Wilt> Oh man he's trying to communicate with a dead-raising stone.
  795. [2011-12-21 22:35:34] <Scantron> "Let's go through that door now."
  796. [2011-12-21 22:35:44] <Sequence> There's a hole in the door, about the size of Saphir.
  797. [2011-12-21 22:35:55] <thedeadlymoose> Eris stoops to look through!
  798. [2011-12-21 22:35:56] <Sequence> Which now gets a capital letter.
  799. [2011-12-21 22:36:04] <Soulless|Sicky> "...Perhaps... Saphir in the hole?"
  800. [2011-12-21 22:36:05] <Sequence> It's more like an indent.
  801. [2011-12-21 22:36:09] <TheRaven> "Man, they weren't building this for geniuses, were they?"
  802. [2011-12-21 22:36:28] <thedeadlymoose> "Oh c'mon. You mean we can't keep this pretty sphere? Lame."
  803. [2011-12-21 22:36:38] <Mr_Wilt> "I concur. I kind of wanted to keep it."
  804. [2011-12-21 22:36:45] <Soulless|Sicky> "..."
  805. [2011-12-21 22:37:12] <Scantron> "We usually have to do something to make something happen at this point. It's probably a good idea to put it in. Regardless, when you do, I'll be over here..." Spencer steps back a few paces, taking Rosalind with him.
  806. [2011-12-21 22:37:18] <Soulless|Sicky> Stoat huffs. Fine. Let's just sit here, because we personally didn't want to let go.
  807. [2011-12-21 22:37:33] <TheRaven> "Well, you can keep it and we can stay in here, or we can open the door and not wind up like bag o' bones over here."
  808. [2011-12-21 22:37:35] <Mr_Wilt> Nolan pops the stone into the indent, reluctantly.
  809. [2011-12-21 22:37:35] <thedeadlymoose> "But we should still put it in there. You know. To see what happens."
  810. [2011-12-21 22:37:40] <thedeadlymoose> "For once I agree with you, Taggart."
  811. [2011-12-21 22:37:52] <Sequence> The door cracks in half, leaving the stone floating in midair.
  812. [2011-12-21 22:38:03] <Mr_Wilt> "Oh. Even better!" Nolan yoinks the stone.
  813. [2011-12-21 22:38:10] <Sequence> It is yoinked.
  814. [2011-12-21 22:38:15] <Sequence> The door halves collapse into dust.
  815. [2011-12-21 22:38:21] <Scantron> Spencer looks past the doorway. What's there?
  816. [2011-12-21 22:38:23] <thedeadlymoose> "Excellent."
  817. [2011-12-21 22:38:28] <Scantron> "That went better than expected."
  818. [2011-12-21 22:38:32] <thedeadlymoose> Eris does the same.
  819. [2011-12-21 22:38:36] <Mr_Wilt> As does Nolan.
  820. [2011-12-21 22:38:37] <Tara_Unknown> "This place sure likes turning into dust"
  821. [2011-12-21 22:38:37] <Sequence> More rock moss, this time teal and blue.
  822. [2011-12-21 22:38:48] <Sequence> It's been shaped into patterns, much like on the stone.
  823. [2011-12-21 22:39:06] <Scantron> Spencer takes more pictures. "This, I like."
  824. [2011-12-21 22:39:16] <Mr_Wilt> Nolan walks on into the room. He tries to talk to the stone some more. "Can you, uh, understand me?"
  825. [2011-12-21 22:39:27] <Sequence> It raises it's hum slightly.
  826. [2011-12-21 22:39:35] <TheRaven> Taggart heads into the room behind everyone.
  827. [2011-12-21 22:39:56] <Mr_Wilt> Nolan quirks an eyebrow. Man, the implications!
  828. [2011-12-21 22:40:07] <Scantron> Spencer gives Rosalind a quick hug and walks into the room beyond the doorway.
  829. [2011-12-21 22:40:11] <Soulless|Sicky> Stoat walks into the room.
  830. [2011-12-21 22:40:19] <Sequence> Roll Ath, Nolan!
  831. [2011-12-21 22:40:28] <Mr_Wilt> 6df+6 OH GOD NO FUCK YOU THIS IS MY STONE
  832. [2011-12-21 22:40:29] <Glacon> Mr_Wilt: OH GOD NO FUCK YOU THIS IS MY STONE: 8 (6df+6=3+, 4-, 3+, 3+, 0, 0)
  833. [2011-12-21 22:40:38] <thedeadlymoose> Eris looks around the room for anything else that looks highly entertaining!
  834. [2011-12-21 22:40:48] <thedeadlymoose> Or at least a different kind of shiny.
  835. [2011-12-21 22:40:51] <Sequence> The stone tries to tug itself from Nolan's hands!
  836. [2011-12-21 22:40:54] <Tara_Unknown> Rosalind follows. So far, the only things that have really interested her have been the crystal moss and the moving skeleton
  837. [2011-12-21 22:40:58] <Sequence> But it is trapped by his meaty fists.
  838. [2011-12-21 22:41:06] <Soulless|Sicky> "..."
  839. [2011-12-21 22:41:06] <Mr_Wilt> Nolan holds onto that motherfucker. "Woah! Hey! What're you doing?"
  840. [2011-12-21 22:41:13] <Soulless|Sicky> "Leave the stone be, Nolan."
  841. [2011-12-21 22:41:24] <thedeadlymoose> "See where it's trying to pull you!"
  842. [2011-12-21 22:41:27] <Soulless|Sicky> "It was never yours to begin with."
  843. [2011-12-21 22:41:37] <Scantron> "It seemed like the skeleton gave it to him."
  844. [2011-12-21 22:41:51] <Sequence> It's pulling towards the center of the pattern!
  845. [2011-12-21 22:41:55] <thedeadlymoose> "C'mon, Stoat, you can't tell me you're not curious to see what happens."
  846. [2011-12-21 22:41:57] <Soulless|Sicky> "If it's getting out of his hands it might be of use."
  847. [2011-12-21 22:42:01] <Mr_Wilt> Nolan heads toward the center of the pattern, then!
  848. [2011-12-21 22:42:11] <thedeadlymoose> Eris follows excitedly.
  849. [2011-12-21 22:42:12] <Soulless|Sicky> Stoat watches Nolan quietly.
  850. [2011-12-21 22:42:20] <Scantron> Spencer gives Nolan and Saphir some room.
  851. [2011-12-21 22:42:38] <Tara_Unknown> Rosalind stands back and tucks into a ball
  852. [2011-12-21 22:42:50] <TheRaven> Taggart observes.
  853. [2011-12-21 22:42:59] <Sequence> It dives into an elaborately carved indent. Move your fingers, Nolan!
  854. [2011-12-21 22:43:05] <Scantron> Spencer embraces her. "Don't worry, it's okay. I won't let anything hurt you."
  855. [2011-12-21 22:43:10] <Mr_Wilt> Nolan moves dem fingers.
  856. [2011-12-21 22:43:18] <Sequence> It clicks into place and hums.
  857. [2011-12-21 22:43:29] <Soulless|Sicky> "...What now, Saphir?"
  858. [2011-12-21 22:43:37] <Mr_Wilt> "What she said."
  859. [2011-12-21 22:43:59] <thedeadlymoose> "Thirding that."
  860. [2011-12-21 22:44:01] <Scantron> 6df+5 athletics maneuver to Rosalind's pdef: Spencer positions himself between Rosalind and the place where the ball went into the wall, in case anything comes out of there.
  861. [2011-12-21 22:44:02] <Glacon> Scantron: athletics maneuver to Rosalind's pdef: Spencer positions himself between Rosalind and the place where the ball went into the wall, in case anything comes out of there.: 5 (6df+5=4-, 0, 0, 3+, 4-, 3+)
