In the Deep Depths of Light, Session 5

<DM> -=QUEST RESUME!=-
<DM> *Lightwall, DanKaze, Maliki and co., you emerge from the prison and back into the central room, where Lordan comes up to meet you, perplexed.*
<Lordan> You took quite some time in there... who are they?
* Lordan is looking at Maliki, Herrian and Moe.
<Lordan> They're... not prisoners, are they?
* DanKaze still has the illusion that has the yellow glowy eyes up on each of them.
<DanKaze> Oh uhh.. well, they teeeechnically are...
<Lightwall> They are our minions, now.
<DanKaze> But they're under our control! The more worshippers for the Followers of Wisdom, the better, isn't that right, Mine Lord Lordan of the Followers of Wisdom of Nayru-san-sama-sensei?
* Serra is wearing Red Contacts
* Maliki keeps his mouth shut trying not to luagh
<Lordan> I see. ... I was not aware you've learned how to Subjugate others. In fact, I was about to heed you all over to the Training Grounds to learn that.
<DanKaze> It's uhhh... not perfect. We learned from watching you.
<DanKaze> .... I think.
<Lightwall> That's fine with me.  I need a lot more practice.  It took me a while to get it right.
<Lordan> Then allow me to show you how to get it right. Follow me.
* Maliki doesn't  like the sound of this and hopes light wall can think of a pressing engagement else where
* Lightwall follows Lordan.
* Lordan heads down to the southwest corner of the central room, where there's a grand entrance door to the Training Center. He opens it.
<Lordan> This way.
* Lordan enters.
* Lightwall follows, with Moe close behind.
* DanKaze follows Lightwall following Lordan. Don't believe in me, believe in the me that believes in you!
* Moe follows closely behind.
* Maliki considers booking it but guesses he should just play along for now he still had access to his magical hammer space if need be
<DM> *You enter another grand circular room, well-lit and not quite the size of the central room, but still large enough to house a good number of recruits. It appears to be a blank room design-wise, though there's various parchments sprawled across the entire wall all-around.*
<DM> *There's a number of ragged looking people to your left, being surrounded by several guards. Most of them look like citizens of Hyrule Village, however....
* Maliki shoots a rather worried look at light wall in a sort of "I think the jig is up way"
* Lightwall notices Maliki's uneasiness, but unfortunately he can't blow his cover; he hopes Maliki senses that he's trying to get us all out of here.
<DM> *Four of them are clearly not just "citizens". They're all equipped with various gear, and two of them are coming conscious (ala Serra and Alexander).*
<Serra> Eh?
<Lordan> This, Sir Lightwall and Dan Kaze, is the Training Center. It may not seem like much, but through the power of illusions, we are able to create whatever course we desire in here, similiar to your special recruitments.*
* Lordan points to the group of motley folks.
<Serra> HEY!
* Serra screams Lordan, the only guy talking.
<Lordan> That, over there, is a group of folks wanting to be members of the Followers of-
<Maliki> (and they know who we aree shiiiit)
<Serra> WHERE IS HERE?!
<Alexander> Well, probably here
* Lordan raises his staff and fires a magic blast aimed just over Serra's head.
<Maliki> "its not there"
<Lordan> $42d10
<Navi> Lordan: You rolled 42 Dice with 10 Sides. Result: 2, 9, 5, 5, 1, 8, 3, 7, 10, 6, 1, 7, 10, 3, 8, 3, 2, 3, 7, 8, 1, 8, 6, 3, 5, 7, 3, 6, 8, 10, 5, 4, 7, 9, 4, 9, 2, 2, 9, 8, 10 and 8. Total: 242. Successes: 31.
<Serra> Eek
<Serra> *Eek!
<Alexander> Well
<DM> *The blast of magic vwooms right past your head and impacts the wall behind you, causing a crackling explosion that deafens you for a moment.*
<Alexander> that was terrifying
* Lordan turns to Lightwall, as if ignoring Serra's outburst.
<Serra> YOU'VE CERTAINLY GOT A TEMPER!
* Serra is still yelling across the room.
<Alexander> Serra, calm down
* Lightwall kinks an eyebrow at Serra before turning back to listen to Lordan.
<Lordan> Forgive their... *cough* rudeness. They do not yet know the great power that we Followers of Wisdom, descendants of Nayru herself, possess.
* Serra notices that
* Serra thinks "Dafuq"
<Lordan> However, they are here to become initiates. You two were entered in... specially.
<Lordan> In fact, I was hoping you two could teach these new folks the joys and greatness of joining.
* Serra notices
<Serra> The hell?
<Alexander> No thanks.
* Serra takes off her random ass contacts
<Alexander> I like, got places to be
<Serra> There
<Alexander> I can't be in some wisdom club
<Alexander> Or whatever this place is
<Herrian> *the massive wolfos standing beside the dingo man whines lowly in a very confused state*
<Serra> Last I checked, freedom of religion was a thing! *Still yelling*
<Lordan> If you two could just knock on the door when you're done, we'll proceed to the next stage, where you'll learn how to properly use Subjugate. In the meantime...... use whatever force you believe is necessary.
* Serikka_Tonatsu is now known as Iyaruka_Aetashigo
<Lordan> Guards!
* Lightwall nods in acknowledgement.
<DM> *As he calls for the guards, they all stand to attention.*
<Lordan> We're leaving them here. Follow me.
* Lordan proceeds to the grand doors out, with all of the guards following.
<Alexander> Um..
<Serra> Hey!
<Alexander> Noone is guarding us anymore..
<DanKaze> Aye aye, sir! We'll make 'em super trust worthy, Mine Lordship and Mine Cap'n my captain!
<Alexander> SHHH!
<Serra> Get back here so I can slit your throat!
<DM> *They all exit, and the grand doors shut.... and lock.*
* Alexander takes a mad dash towards a door
<Alexander> Crap.
<Maliki> "Well now"
<Maliki> "Should i get my hammer?"
<Lightwall> It's useless to try and escape.
<Alexander> Why?
<Serra> Ahahhahaahahah!
<Serra> Just watch me!
<Maliki> "It is a veeery big hammer"
* Serra attempts to kick the door down. (Wisdom)
<Serra> $8d10
<Navi> Serra: You rolled 8 Dice with 10 Sides. Result: 3, 2, 4, 10, 7, 8, 4 and 5. Total: 43. Successes: 5.
<Lightwall> There are tons of the Followers of Wisdom here.  You're way outnumbered.
<Serra> *(CouragE)
<Serra> FFFFFFFf
<Maliki> "do we fight then?"
<Alexander> Too bad we don't have anything like bombs..
<DM> *Iyaruka_Aetashigo, you awake into the madness that is Serra and Alexander trying to break out of the room.*
<Maliki> (Also < is the offical door guy don't mess with the offical door guy)
<Iyaruka_Aetashigo> ???
<Door> $50d10
<Navi> Door: You rolled 50 Dice with 10 Sides. Result: 4, 6, 7, 7, 5, 4, 2, 8, 8, 10, 4, 7, 2, 7, 6, 3, 9, 2, 8, 4, 1, 5, 1, 10, 3, 7, 8, 2, 4, 8, 4, 9, 3, 6, 2, 9, 4, 10, 1, 8, 6, 7, 8, 8, 2, 2, 2, 5, 5 and 6. Total: 269. Successes: 32.
<Maliki> "I have a hammer"
<Lightwall> Don't, Maliki, there's another way.
<Maliki> "ok"
<DM> *Serra, your kick hits the door..... and does absolutely nothing. No wonder they're large grand doors... it's prevent anyone from even the possibility of breaking out.*
* Maliki looks around the room for any other clues
<Alexander> *Or.. breaking in*
<Serra> *Sigh*
<Iyaruka_Aetashigo> I don't know
<DM> *Well, there's parchments on the entire circular wall, and there's also the blast that Lordan made with his staff in the wall.*
<Serra> I wish Mathew went with me, now. ;~;
<Alexander> Are we under or above ground?
* Maliki walks over to look at one of the parchments in greater detail
<Iyaruka_Aetashigo> Where am I?
<Alexander> Well
<Alexander> You are right there.
<Serra> (Note: Mathew is a theif in FE7, who can pick locks. He's also one of Serra's potential love interests. lol)
<DM> *You look at the parchment, which reads:
* Door is now known as Parchment
<Iyaruka_Aetashigo> ... What is a right?
<Maliki> "not a left"
<Iyaruka_Aetashigo> What's left?
<Maliki> "not a right"
<Iyaruka_Aetashigo> ...
<Lightwall> (What's left = remains)
<Iyaruka_Aetashigo> I don't know what
<Lightwall> (lol)
<Parchment> You now enter Holy Ground, created by the one and only Nayru, Goddess of Law. Let yourselves become one with our teachings, and being enlightened into the greater destiny that falls before you.
* Iyaruka_Aetashigo is in confused
<DM> *It seems all of the parchments simply read that... over and over.*
* Maliki blinks "Does anyone know the teaching of naryu by chance?"
<Alexander> I wonder if there is anything behind these
<DanKaze> Huh, interesting parchments... I'm guessing this is the normal recruitment process...
* Lightwall addresses the group.
* Alexander is on the other side of the room, ripping up wall parchment
* Iyaruka_Aetashigo is still standing still, confused
<Lightwall> People!  Read well and heed the teachings of Nayru!
<Serra> Wh-
<Serra> WHO EVEN IS NAYRU?!
<Iyaruka_Aetashigo> ... What's a teachings?
<Lightwall> Then we shall proceed with your initiation.
<Alexander> I will not.
* Herrian trots over to Iyaruka_Aetashigo  and suddenly licks his face
* Lightwall facepalms.
<Iyaruka_Aetashigo> ???
* Serra is too grumpy to read
<DM> *Great wings of light grow behind Lightwall.*
* Alexander sees this happen
<Lightwall> (at Serra: ) Nayru is the Goddess of Wisdom.  You're a bit behind if you don't already know that.
* Alexander gets far away from everyone else in the room
* Iyaruka_Aetashigo looks at Herrian confused
<Serra> Pfft
<Herrian> *the large wolfos sits beside Iyaruka_Aetashigo  and pants a little
<Serra> Sorry, but the only goddess I believe in is St. Elimine.
<Iyaruka_Aetashigo> I... Don't know anymore
<Serra> Okay
<Maliki> "seems like herian likes you" he smiles a little he looks around the room  then went over to the blast of magic on the wall to look at it
<Lightwall> Well, if you want to survive your... initiation, ... you'd better learn who Nayru is.
<Serra> That thing is creeping me out.
<DanKaze> And if you do not, her laws will judge you, and you shall not live to see the light of day!
* Alexander gets into the pillar of light
* Alexander looks around
<Lightwall> (or the light on the wall :)  )
* DanKaze holds out his hand, and a large crushing fist seems to spawn directly over him, like a hammer of judgment.
<Alexander> So um like.. I see light of day..
<Serra> Wh
<Maliki> "oh good "
<Serra> You guys are idiots.
* Iyaruka_Aetashigo is still befuddled
* Serra goes to a wall and thinks.
<Serra> (BRB)
<Iyaruka_Aetashigo> I don't know what is going on
<DM> *Maliki, right as you're about to check out the hole in the wall, it seems to fix itself. Do you still wish to inspect it?*
<Lightwall> You may not understand everything right now, but hopefully... things will be clearer soon.
<Maliki> (yes)
<Alexander> Well, some people threw us in this place to teach us of Nyru or something
<Lightwall> Study these parchments on the walls and you will be enlightened.
<DM> *You tread closer to the wall Maliki, and as you get about point-blank to it, you find the wall still has a hole in it. Odd... it's like it unfixed itself once you got too close.*
<Iyaruka_Aetashigo> ... What is an enlightened?
<Maliki> "magic door?" he says mostly to him self and touches it
<Lightwall> (at Iyaruka: )  Knowledge.  That is what enlightened means.
<DM> *Maliki, you touch the hole in the wall. Roll Wisdom vs. 10 successes.*
<Serra> I'm not going to be enlightened by a goddess I've only just heard of
<Iyaruka_Aetashigo> ... What is knowledge?
<Serra> I don't go around forcing people to worship St. Elimine.
* Lightwall facepalms.
* Lightwall approaches Serra.
<Lightwall> (at Serra, in a low voice: ) Hey, I'm not here to impose on you. I'm just trying to help you survive.
<Maliki> 9d10
* Serra sighs and touches the stone
<Serra> $10d10
<Maliki> $9d10
<Navi> Serra: You rolled 10 Dice with 10 Sides. Result: 5, 1, 1, 10, 5, 3, 1, 3, 3 and 2. Total: 34. Successes: 4.

<DM> *Maliki, you touch the hole in the wall, but you get zapped, taking 1 shock damage.*
<DM> *Serra... what stone?
<Lightwall> (no kidding; I didn't hear anything about a stone...)
<Maliki> "ow" he shakes his hand a little "hey theres a nasty little hole here"
* DanKaze addresses everyone in the room.
<DanKaze> Greetings, those of you that would be recruits to the Followers of Wisdom!
<Serra> (FFFFF)
<Serra> (I thought you said it was a stone)
* Serra touches the hole in the wall

<DM> *Okay, so you touch the hole in the wall Serra, annnnnd....... you get zapped, taking a nasty 3 shock damage from touching it.*
<Serra> Okay, if this is some prank, I don't find it funny.
<DanKaze> My name is Dan Kaze, and I have just recently become an initiate of the Followers of Wisdom. Before I joined... oh... how poor a man I was!
<Maliki> "light wall , dan"
* DanKaze drops down to the ground, suddenly having the clothes of a poor man with ragged clothes covering him. He seems beaten up.
<Maliki> "Drop it"
<DanKaze> I was.... drop it?
<Alexander> (brb)
<Maliki> "at least one of us bearly knows the words coming out of his mouth"
* DanKaze seems to switch back to his normal clothing, aka the white robes.
<Maliki> "another has no intention of listening"
<DanKaze> Huh, good point.
<Maliki> "your up the creek boys
<Iyaruka_Aetashigo> ... What is a bearly?
<DanKaze> Then, I guess we'll have to teach them another way...
<Iyaruka_Aetashigo> And what's a initiate?
<Lightwall> (at Maliki: ) There's more than just them, you know. *points at all the other initiates in the room*
<DM> *The other recruits, aka the ragtap band of citizens, seems to be very confused. One side is telling them to join, the other side is being rebellious and refusing to even consider it.*
<Serra> Oh
<Serra> I don't know
<Serra> What about
<Serra> A BOOK
<Serra> At least that won't zap me to death!
<Serra> If you're going to force me to change my religion entirely, at the very least, do it painlessly.
<DanKaze> Hey, I don't know what zapped you.
<Iyaruka_Aetashigo> What's a religion?
<DanKaze> What would it take for you to become a Follower, Ms... what's your name?
<Iyaruka_Aetashigo> ((Iyaruka, dumb as ever))
<Maliki> "hey Iyaruka , whats a what?"
<Serra> You, lady.
* Serra looks at Iyaruka
<Serra> Religion
<Serra> noun
<Serra> "the belief in and worship of a superhuman controlling power, especially a personal God or gods."
<Serra> Yes
<Serra> I read Dictionaries
<Serra> And What?
<Lightwall> (Serra, Dan's talking to you)
<Iyaruka_Aetashigo> ... What is a superhuman?
<Lightwall> (We haven't been introduced yet, don't forget.)
<DanKaze> Hey, Lady with the pink hair! What's your name?
* Lightwall looks at Iyaruka, then rolls his eyes.
<Serra> HEY, RUDE ASS.
<Serra> My name is Serra, the greatest of Cleric, and the prettiest of lords.
<DanKaze> Meh, not my type... but I might just accept you as beautiful should you join us!
* DanKaze is slooooooowwwwwwwwwly nudging himself back to being Lightwall.
<DanKaze> *being behind Lightwall
<Serra> Hahahahahaha!
* Lightwall speaks to the group.
<Serra> You think that trick would work on me?
<DanKaze> No, but I thought I'd try!
<Serra> Sorry, but I prefer somebody who's honest.
<DanKaze> Oh? And why would you not trust me?
* Serra does an evil laugh.
<DM> *Cause he's apparently Level 43 and has nearly all of his stat points into Magic?*
<Serra> Of course not, you're clearly evil.
<Lightwall> Allow me to introduce myself.  My name is Lightwall. I just joined the Followers of Wisdom and have learned a lot.
* Maliki just sits in the middle of the room patting herians head scratching his ears "Settle in boy I have a feeling we will be here a while"
<Iyaruka_Aetashigo> ... What is a introduce?
<Lightwall> If you will but cooperate with us, we'll do our best to make this process... a lot more painless than it has to be.
<Serra> Now then, if you don't want me to destroy you with this Divine Tome (A Light Tome in FE7.), I suggest you let me go
* Serra is bluffing.
* DanKaze nudges himself over to Maliki and Herrian and whispers to them.
<Lightwall> I was once like you, but now...
* Lightwall gestures at Moe.
<Lightwall> ... I have been given powers beyond what I'd dreamed possible.
<DanKaze> A Divine Tome, you say? Pull it out Serra, and let us judge if it is REALLY divine!
<Lightwall> I even have my own minion to obey my will.
<Lightwall> If you cooperate with us this day, you will be a lot... better off than you are now.
* Serra pulls out a book, with a very similar design and size.
* Maliki grins at dan as he pats the large wolf's head an back a little
* Iyaruka_Aetashigo still looks confused
* Lightwall notices Iyaruka.
<Serra> Yahahahahaha!
* Maliki stands up and wispers to Serra a little
<Lightwall> (to Iyaruka: ) Young one, you look confused.  May I have your name?
<Iyaruka_Aetashigo> Iyaruka Aetashigo
* Serra hears Maliki.
<Serra> Calm down?
<Serra> CALM DOWN?!
<Alexander> Yes
<Maliki> "please"
<Lightwall> Okay, Ms. Iyaruka Ae... um, Ms Iyaruka...
<Alexander> Please calm down
<DanKaze> Yularko Iekiyago?
<Serra> This is a very ineffective way to convert someone to a religion!
* Maliki wispers
* Lightwall refrains from giggling at Dan's remark.
<Serra> Maybe if you people politely went up to houses and was like, "Excuse me, do you have a minute to talk about the lord?" Then maybe, JUST MAYBE, you wouldn't have to result to such terrible methods to get followers.
<Iyaruka_Aetashigo> Huh?
* Iyaruka_Aetashigo is still talking to Lightwall
* Lightwall is distracted by Serra.
* Lightwall glares at Serra.

<DM> *Your PSI Blast knocks the dive tome out of Serra's hands, soak it and blasting it into its hundreds of pages, floating around everywhere.*
<Serra> Nooooo!
<Lightwall> We'll have no more from other books, no matter what religion! Nayru's word is law, here!
<Serra> My "Guide to getting a boyfriend in a fortnight: Collectors Edition" is ruined!
<Iyaruka_Aetashigo> ... What?
<Lightwall> (lol)
<DanKaze> You could just have me, Ms. Serra.
<DM> *Alexander, roll Power vs. the door.*
<Serra> And you could just have the end of my spear, Darling.

<Alexander> Oh well
<Lightwall> (to Iyaruka, in a low voice: ) Hey, if you want to get out of here alive, just go along with everything, even if you don't understand.  Got it?
<Serra> Sorry, it'd be a waste to dirty my lance on such potential.
<DM> *You pound against the door, but fail miserably. Perhaps you should buy into this jargon that Lightwall and DanKaze are speaking.*
* Alexander keeps wacking at the door, 'unaware' it won't help because he really has nothing else to do
<DanKaze> Aww, but sweety! Your pink hair deserves no less!
<Iyaruka_Aetashigo> Uh... Okay...
* Lightwall approaches Serra.
<Alexander> Are you a person, Lightwall?
<Alexander> Or are you  mere illusion?
* Lightwall ignores Alexander for the moment.
<DM> *As Lightwall approaches you Serra, the wings on his back begin to glow even brighter, and even a halo spawns over his head.*
<Lightwall> Ms. Serra, look: if you want to get out of here, you'll have to cooperate.
* Serra hears that, and thinks up a plan on the spot.
* Alexander runs up to Lightwall and tries to slash at it
<Serra> Yahahahahaha! How flattering, Mr. Kaze, maybe we will make a good team after all.
<DM> (Roll your sword's attacking roll, Alexander)
<Lightwall> ("it"? lol)
<DanKaze> Exactly what I was thinking, My Lovely Serra!
<Alexander> (is that courage or is the attack roll something else?)
<DM> (should be courage, dunno what bonuses you've got for your attack though)

* Orithan (~Orithan@1.136.134.60) has joined #zurpg
* ChanServ gives channel operator status to Orithan
<Alexander> (I ALMOST DID IT!)
<Maliki> "do i get my hammer yet?"
* Lightwall raises his shield just in time to meet Alexander's blow.
<Orithan> (Hi)
<DM> *Alexander, you make a charge directly at Lightwall with your sword, but it slams into Lightwall's shield, who has superior defenses.*
<Alexander> (hi)
<Alexander> So um.. like.. pillar of light, where did that shield come from?
* Lightwall glares at Alexander, hand on hilt of his sword.
<Alexander> I can see through you.. there wasn't a shield there...
* Sephiroth kicks Door out the window.
* Sephiroth has kicked Door from #zurpg (You have been kicked out the window and you landed on a blue bird that tweets all day. Did you happen to find Twitter? «17,192»)
* Door (~WindStrik@24.246.165.68) has joined #zurpg
<DanKaze> From Nayru herself, of course! You can get such a thing too, Mr.... you, if you join us!
<Alexander> (THE DOOR HAS BEEN KICKED!)
<Lightwall> Fighting won't get you anyway, Mr. ... What's your name, Mr. Shield Basher?
<Alexander> Alexander
<Lightwall> *anywhere
<DanKaze> Yes, Mr. Alexander, you will gain a worthy shield of light, or whatever else you desire, should you join us!
<DanKaze> Maybe you'll get a grand hammer, like Sir Maliki! If you would please demonstrate your epic power...
<Lightwall> (still glaring at Alexander: )  Now, can we all get on with this initiation, or did you want to try that again?
* Iyaruka_Aetashigo raises hand
<Serra> Always so flattering!
<Alexander> I wanna try again
* Maliki reaches out to his left and a massive hammer suddenly appers in his hand  about twice of the man weilding it who holds it easly in one hand
* Lightwall draws his sword quickly, still glaring at Alexander.
<Iyaruka_Aetashigo> I want to join
<Maliki> (god i love this thing sooo much)
<Lightwall> Moe!
* Alexander prepares his sword and shield
* Serra continues to flatter DanKaze to keep the charade.
<Moe> Grunt grunt?
<DM> *The sword of light seems to be slowly drawing in all the light in the room towards it, allowing it to shine with much enlightenment.*
<Lightwall> See that this... incumbent... is taught a lesson.
<Serra> Why don't I teach him a lesson
<Serra> I've been travelling with this insufferable cur for a few days now
<Lightwall> (at Alexander: ) If you want to fight me, prove yourself.
<Alexander> Okay
<Serra> Fine, you do it.

<Alexander> Why did you do that, Moe!?
* Maliki walks over and wispers to Alexander
<Iyaruka_Aetashigo> ((Fourth wall keeps breaking))
* Moe stares blankly at Alexander, his face unchanging.
<Lightwall> Are you ready to cooperate now, Alexander?
<DM> *Iyaruka, there's the ragtag group of citizens that are still confused as heck in the corner, a wall covered in the same parchment over and over, the grand door that seems to be unshakable, the hole in the wall from Lordan blasting the crap out of it, and... where's the light in the room coming from? Oh right, Lightwall and his epic sword of light and wings.*
<Alexander> Fine...
<Lightwall> Very good.  Put your weapons away and allow us to proceed.
<DanKaze> Alas, Serra, your comrade has decided to be enlightened.
* DanKaze holds out his hand towards Serra.
<Alexander> What was enlightened
<DanKaze> Would you kindly join us?
<Serra> Ahahahahhaha!
<Alexander> All I thought happened was that we go to another room
* Iyaruka_Aetashigo attempts to read the Parchment, except that she cannot read like half the words because she doesn't really speak English
* Lightwall motions to Moe to come back.
<Serra> Of course...darling
* Serra keeps the charade.
* Moe grunts, and retreats to Lightwall's side.
* Serra hides her wedding ring while nobody's looking.
<DM> *A glow of light surrounds both Serra and Alexander.*
<DanKaze> Ms. Iyaruka! See that glow of light around your.... friends? Comrades... partners?
<Alexander> OH MY WHAT IS TIS
* DanKaze mutters to himself: one of these darn words better work.
<Iyaruka_Aetashigo> Yes
<Iyaruka_Aetashigo> Soon, they may join too.
<Alexander> :O
<Iyaruka_Aetashigo> ... I hope...
* Maliki pops his hammer back into its hidden contianer
<Lightwall> (to the entire group: )  Now, unless any of you wants to cause any FURTHER delay of our proceedings...
<Alexander> Iyaruka_Aetashigo has been converted!?
<DM> *A glow of light surrounds Iyaruka_Aetashigo as well.*
<Alexander> Not really
<DM> *The citizens in the back seem be worshipping the great Lightwall by this point.*
<Alexander> LETS GO
<Lightwall> Very good.
<Maliki> "oh goodie"
* Lightwall heads toward the door and knocks, per Lordan's instructions.
<DM> *You knock the door... but nothing happens.*
<DanKaze> Hang on, I think I know how to knock properly...
<Iyaruka_Aetashigo> ((Does the light even block out anything, Iyaruka can see in the light))
* DanKaze goes up to the door and knocks it 7 times. You, as players, recognize the knocking pattern as the first notes to the Super Mario theme.
<Lightwall> (lol)
<Iyaruka_Aetashigo> ((Beautiful))
<Alexander> That sounds.. familiar
<DM> *The door opens, and Lordan appears in front of it with a smile on his face.*
* Door is now known as Lordan
<Alexander> Hi
<DM> *DOOR BECOMES LORDAN. MY GOD.*
* DM runs.
<Alexander> Oh my
<Moe> (lol)
<Alexander> Framerate spikes
<Lordan> I see you have all become enlightened... *looking at the light glows around everyone* ... literally.
<Alexander> I don't feel like it
<Iyaruka_Aetashigo> Yes, I am very enlightened
* Moe sheaths his sword and bows to Lordan.
* Lordan twitches his eyebrow, then enters the room, closing the grand door behind him simply by pointing his staff at it.
<Moe> Master, they are ready.
<Moe> ***
<Maliki> "HE CAN TALK!"
<Lightwall> (D'oh)
<Lightwall> Master, they are ready.
<Lightwall> (dang shell thing!)
<DM> *Moe usually just grumbles... but yes, he has some limited form of speaking. Not to mention... that one skill.*
<Iyaruka_Aetashigo> Hello new world
<Alexander> Hey um.. Iyaruka_Aetashigo
<Moe> (Lightwall sheathed his sword, not me!  D'oh!)
<Alexander> Been feelin' okay?
<Lordan> It seems there are some of you that are more powerful than the rest.
<Iyaruka_Aetashigo> I am enlightened to join this group
* Lordan motions first to all of you... and then to the Lightwall-worshipping citizens to the side.
* Serra laughs evily.
* Iyaruka_Aetashigo attempts to fire a bow at Serra?
* Alexander is like.. what is going on..
* Iyaruka_Aetashigo or arrow
<Lordan> This will be unnecessary, but... in order to learn this skill, it is best to try it on those that already worship you.
<DanKaze> Oh, the glowy eye control thingy? Yeah, I've been working on it yo, and uhh, well....
* DanKaze points at Maliki.
<Lightwall> Yes, master.
<DanKaze> He keeps pulling his hammer out despite me telling him not to.
<Alexander> Can someone explain to be how a wall of light can talk?
<DanKaze> Don't worry, Master Lordan, he's pretty harmless still!
<Lightwall> (lol Alexander, you're a hoot!)
<Maliki> "theres a guy in the middle of it"
<Serra> And I'm totally loyal to all of you guys!
<DM> *Indeed. There is indeed a guy in the middle of the "wall of light".*
* Serra says this as she clings to DanKaze, to keep the Charade.
<Alexander> hey, Lordan, may I shank you?
<DanKaze> Oh, my darling! Master Lordan, Nayru has blessed us with love! Isn't that awesome?
<Lordan> Why yes it is, DanKaze.
* Lordan looks at Alexander.
<Serra> Yahahahahaha!
* Lightwall glares at Alexander, then watches Lordan.
<Lordan> Do you really wish to attack me?
<DM> *The enlightened glow disappears from you, Alexander.*
<Alexander> It wasn't me, it was Nyru
<Alexander> I swear!
<Serra> I'd say just ignore the kid, he's essentially harmless!
<Alexander> This steel sword would like to differ, Serra
* Lordan points his staff at Alexander. Alexander, you suddenly feel a great force pressing down on you. Roll Wisdom!
<Serra> Annoying, gets in the way, but harmless!

<Alexander> Can I leave then?
<Lordan> Focus on that man.
<Alexander> No thanks
<Lightwall> Yes, master.
<Lordan> Reach into your soul, Lightwall. Find the force necessary to draw that man down... and make him yours to command!
* Lightwall looks down on Alexander, focusing his eyes on him.
<Serra> Awwwww, I can't make him one of my subordinates again?
<Alexander> I don't like that look
<Alexander> Stop buring my soul!
<Serra> "buring"
* Serra takes out her dictionary tome.
<DM> *Alexander, the force around you stops, and you can move freely.*

<DM> *Alexander, you put up a great fight as you attempt to outdo Lightwall's force crush, but even with your mighty shield, Lightwall's focused mind plants you into the ground.*
<Lordan> Now, command him to be one of your subjects.
<Alexander> But I thought I wasn't worthy of one
<Maliki> "lippy isn't he"
<Lightwall> You! You are now one of my subjects and will obey my every whim!

<Lightwall> You will stay by Moe's side until I command you to do otherwise.
<Lordan> Excellent. You are becoming a worthy member, Lightwall.
<Lordan> Now, why do you all try to do it?
<Lordan> Even you, Alexander, can try it.
<Lordan> There's a pack of worshippers over there in the corner.
<Maliki> "err"
* Lordan points to them, who are still worshipping you all.
<Alexander> Try what?
<Maliki> "I hate to admit this but I'm very bad at at this magic type stuff"

<Lordan> What ARE you doing here, if not to become a Follower of Wisdom?
<Alexander> Or something
<Lordan> Oh, yes, soon... it will be soon, Sir Alexander...

<Serra> How about I look over this insufferable nussiance for you?
<Lordan> That shall be preferable, Ms. Serra.
<Serra> I'm excellent with kids!
<Lordan> Why don't you try the ability on him?
<Alexander> I heard shes not.
* DanKaze cannot seem to learn Subjugate properly.
<Serra> Oooooh, ability?

<Alexander> Well, he said he reached into his sould a little bit too much
<Alexander> *soul
<Maliki> "not sure it was him"
<Lightwall> (Dan Kaze cast Level 9 Doom, or something like that!)
<Serra> Yay, I'd love to learn something as powerful as that!
<Alexander> Is there anything here to fight? Like some monster rats or something?
<Lordan> Excellent. Do what I told Lightwall to do.
<Lordan> Reach into your soul and then use the force to subjugate Alexander.
* Alexander tries
<Lordan> In time, Alexander. As soon as you all learn how to use this ability...
<DM> (wait, are you two about to use Subjugate on each other at the same time?)

<Maliki> "can I come along ?"
<DM> *Alexander, you appear to not have the ability to spontaneously explode.*
<Lordan> Why yes you can.
<Serra> (Alexander, roll?)
<Maliki> "thank you for some reason I realy don't want to be in here when somones head actully explodes"
<Maliki> "its awful messy"
<Lightwall> Moe, remain here with Dan and help him to teach the people.
* Maliki grins a little at lordan and falls in behind as the wolfos also does so
<DM> *Well, since Alexander doesn't attempt to defend against your mind blast... Serra, you cause him to explode in a cartoon fashion. Think you went overboard like DanKaze.*
