  1. [17:48] <!DM-sama> So where to first?
  2. [17:48] <!DM-sama> Adn feel free to interact as we go.
  3. [17:49] <Zenaros> One vote for enchantment~
  4. [17:49] <!DM-sama> You're all total strangers to each other at the moment.
  5. [17:49] * Roland is aloof
  6. [17:49] <Conny> Enchantment? Enchantment!
  7. [17:50] <Daven> I vote for enchantment or Conjuration
  8. [17:50] <Rachel> I want evocation, because I want to learn to /magically/ beat things with my fists.
  9. [17:51] <Conny> s.s.s.scary.
  10. [17:52] <!DM-sama> Alright.
  11. [17:52] <Rachel> Then again
  12. [17:52] <Rachel> I could probably enchant the bat
  13. [17:52] <Rachel> and that would fun.
  14. [17:52] <!DM-sama> I guess since nobody is talking you quietly walk to the Tower of Enchantment.
  15. [17:52] <Rachel> Doesn't seem like my thing, though.
  16. [17:52] <Rachel> Oh okay.
  17. [17:52] <Rachel> I thought we were still discussing what we were doing
  18. [17:52] <!DM-sama> It's three to 1 and onii is aloof.
  19. [17:53] <!DM-sama> You can exsplore more than one tower, relax.
  20. [17:55] <!DM-sama> As the five of you enter the bulding the inside is filled with polished crystal.
  21. [17:55] <!DM-sama> The walls and floor shine to an almost mirrored finish.
  22. [17:55] <!DM-sama> A stair case coils upwards into the tower, with a different facility on each floor.
  23. [17:56] <!DM-sama> The ground floor is empty.
  24. [17:56] <!DM-sama> There's nothing in the room but thr five of you and the crstalline decor.
  25. [17:56] <!DM-sama> The walls are lined with what appears to by crystallized flowers.
  26. [17:57] <!DM-sama> ....
  27. [17:57] * Daven hangs back from the group, looking at the crystalized flower. He smiles and turns to his right, murmuring a few words to nothing then looking apologetic.
  28. [17:57] * Zenaros pokes his head out of his book, examining the surroundings.
  29. [17:58] <!DM-sama> You guys are all playing introverts.... this is going to be FUUUUUUUN~ :D
  30. [17:58] <Rachel> Can you fucking not
  31. [17:58] <Rachel> Please.
  32. [17:58] * Rachel reaches out to touch one of the flowers. "Well..at least the place is pretty"
  33. [17:58] <!DM-sama> Ur butt iz pretty
  34. [17:59] * Conny examines the flowers as there is seemingly nothing else of interest on this floor.
  35. [17:59] * Roland whistles "Man, this place is awesome!"
  36. [17:59] * Roland starts touching the walls and flowers and seeing if they're held in place at all, trying to find any he can pocket
  37. [18:00] <!DM-sama> You all continue up the stairs as you admire the scenery.
  38. [18:00] <@Roland> "I wanna test these and see what kind of properties they have. For science."
  39. [18:00] * Daven looks at Rachel then one of the flowers, he quickly looks to his right and nods. He plucks one of the flowers and gives it to her. "H-here...the voices said you might like this."
  40. [18:00] <!DM-sama> The flowers themselves seem to be growing from the walls of the tower.
  41. [18:00] <!DM-sama> And this crystal isn't as brittle as it looks.
  42. [18:01] * Rachel stares at the flower. "Th-Thank you..?" She reaches out and takes it. "Wait, what voices?"
  43. [18:01] * Roland puts one foot against the wall and pulls. "CMON YOU SUNUVABIIIIIIIIIIIITCHHHHHHHHH"
  44. [18:01] <!DM-sama> The ones in his head.
  45. [18:01] <!DM-sama> Because he's nuts.
  46. [18:01] <Rachel> No shit.
  47. [18:01] <!DM-sama> Also they're sharp.
  48. [18:01] * Daven simply smiles at her and just walks away, following the rest of the group.
  49. [18:01] <!DM-sama> The petals.
  50. [18:01] <!DM-sama> Be careful.
  51. [18:01] <@Roland> "OW FRAG IT ALL"
  52. [18:01] <!DM-sama> And by be careful I mean roll a strength check.
  53. [18:01] <Rachel> Oh
  54. [18:01] <!DM-sama> Not you.
  55. [18:01] <!DM-sama> Onii.
  56. [18:01] <@Roland> roll 1d20+2
  57. [18:01] <!DM-sama> Roland rolled 1d20+2 --> [ 1d20=6 ]{8}
  58. [18:02] <!DM-sama> Yeah, your hand slipped.
  59. [18:02] <!DM-sama> 1 damage.
  60. [18:02] <Rachel> I wanna pick one off the wall.
  61. [18:02] <Rachel> roll 1d20+4
  62. [18:02] <!DM-sama> Rachel rolled 1d20+4 --> [ 1d20=19 ]{23}
  63. [18:02] <@Roland> ....
  64. [18:02] <@Roland> LOL
  65. [18:02] <!DM-sama> I'm going to chalk up Daven's ability to pick the one he picked up to his elemental sense.
  66. [18:02] <!DM-sama> And Rachel to her freakish biceps.
  67. [18:02] <!DM-sama> As she snaps it off like a twig.
  68. [18:03] * Rachel hands the flower she just picked to Roland. "Don't strain yourself kid."
  69. [18:03] <!DM-sama> The flowers that are plucked quickly regrow.
  70. [18:03] * Roland gets up and dusts himself off "Gee, thank'ee ma'am"
  71. [18:03] * Zenaros glances at his familiar as he jots down notes on the flowers, "No."
  72. [18:03] <!DM-sama> The crystal pulses slightly, like a faint heartbeat.
  73. [18:04] * Conny looks at this development and then to the one who has picked one successfully jotting something down all the while
  74. [18:04] <Rachel> "That's..odd that they regrow like that though."
  75. [18:04] <!DM-sama> Everybody who isn't functionally retarded roll a spellcraft check.
  76. [18:04] <Daven> 1d20+13
  77. [18:05] <Zenaros> roll 1d20+14
  78. [18:05] <!DM-sama> Zenaros rolled 1d20+14 --> [ 1d20=1 ]{15}
  79. [18:05] <Daven> roll 1d20+13
  80. [18:05] <!DM-sama> Daven rolled 1d20+13 --> [ 1d20=6 ]{19}
  81. [18:05] <Zenaros> ...
  82. [18:05] <Zenaros> sunnuva
  83. [18:05] <Daven> Bwahahaha
  84. [18:05] <Conny> Roll 1d20+13
  85. [18:05] <!DM-sama> Conny rolled 1d20+13 --> [ 1d20=7 ]{20}
  86. [18:05] <!DM-sama> I said NOT retarded dear.
  87. [18:05] <Rachel> roll 1d20+0 because I can craft spells
  88. [18:05] <!DM-sama> Rachel rolled 1d20+0 because I can craft spells --> [ 1d20=3 ]{3}
  89. [18:05] <Rachel> I'm serious it's +0/
  90. [18:05] <Rachel> I just wanted to roll my dice.
  91. [18:05] <!DM-sama> Okay, Conny is the only who who realizes the flowers are made from crystallized mana.
  92. [18:05] <Zenaros> Zen's not a sharp man.
  93. [18:06] <Rachel> I'm like "What the fuck is magic"
  94. [18:06] <Daven> DAMN YOU 6!
  95. [18:06] <Daven> Wait..wouldn't Daven be able to hear them then?
  96. [18:06] <@Roland> roll 1d20+13
  97. [18:06] <!DM-sama> Roland rolled 1d20+13 --> [ 1d20=3 ]{16}
  98. [18:06] * Conny smiles to himself "Very interesting..."
  99. [18:06] <!DM-sama> Mana, not elementals.
  100. [18:06] <Daven> Ah true
  101. [18:06] <!DM-sama> They're just risidual mana.
  102. [18:06] <Zenaros> Did something fun happen on my nat1?
  103. [18:06] <!DM-sama> That does explain why he knew where to break one without much strength though.
  104. [18:07] * Daven looks around the tower to see any exists or entrances. Or possibly a teacher at least, the voices in his head were telling him to go everywhere at once it seemed as he looked back and forth, back and forth.
  105. [18:07] <!DM-sama> You think they're made of a precious gemstone.
  106. [18:07] <Zenaros> ... Oh my
  107. [18:07] <!DM-sama> So you now think this building is diamondsAhue.
  108. [18:07] * Zenaros looks again at the flowers.
  109. [18:07] * Zenaros reaches to pluck a handful.
  110. [18:08] <!DM-sama> There's a dorrway up the staircase leading into a circular hallway on the next floor.
  111. [18:08] <!DM-sama> It's where all of you end up after Zen gives up making the impossible strength check to break the flowers loose.
  112. [18:08] * Daven quickly goes to the dorway up, without saying much to everyone else.
  113. [18:08] <Zenaros> I roll str, I take it?
  114. [18:08] <!DM-sama> Yeah.
  115. [18:08] <Zenaros> roll 1d20+3
  116. [18:08] <!DM-sama> Zenaros rolled 1d20+3 --> [ 1d20=14 ]{17}
  117. [18:08] <Rachel> Does my strength check still carry over.
  118. [18:09] <!DM-sama> Nope.jpg
  119. [18:09] <Rachel> I just want to pick them because they're pretty.
  120. [18:09] <!DM-sama> The hallway circles the full circumference of the tower, along it's length there's another stair case leading up to an identical hallway, and a door that opens into a circular room.
  121. [18:09] <!DM-sama> It seems each floor has a layout like this.
  122. [18:09] <!DM-sama> Meaning each floor houses a single facility.
  123. [18:10] <!DM-sama> I'm going to assume you guys check out each floor in turn.
  124. [18:10] <Daven> Yes'm
  125. [18:11] <Zenaros> Iesu.
  126. [18:11] <Conny> ....I swear Emily can read minds.
  127. [18:11] <Rachel> >it's a building
  128. [18:11] <!DM-sama> You open the door to the second floor facility.
  129. [18:11] <Rachel> >not checking every room
  130. [18:11] <!DM-sama> Somebody roll 1d6
  131. [18:11] <!DM-sama> Just 1
  132. [18:11] <Rachel> roll 1d6
  133. [18:11] <!DM-sama> Rachel rolled 1d6 --> [ 1d6=3 ]{3}
  134. [18:12] <!DM-sama> Okay roll 1d18
  135. [18:12] <!DM-sama> Just do it.
  136. [18:12] <Rachel> roll 1d18
  137. [18:12] <!DM-sama> Rachel rolled 1d18 --> [ 1d18=12 ]{12}
  138. [18:14] <!DM-sama> As you enter the room a large purple crystal floats above a pedastal in the middle.
  139. [18:14] <!DM-sama> It illuminate the room with a faint glow.
  140. [18:15] <!DM-sama> The room is otherwise empty, containing only a girl who dances around nervously.
  141. [18:15] <!DM-sama> http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheetview.php?sheetid=606378
  142. [18:15] <!DM-sama> Too lazy to describe her so just read it.
  143. [18:16] * Daven walks over the to dancing girl and waves at her, then stops and looks at the others. "All you can see her right?"
  144. [18:16] <Rachel> "Yeah, I'm pretty sure we can see the elf"
  145. [18:17] * Daven smiles and nods. "Ah good, it'd be strange if I started seeing and hearing things no one else could."
  146. [18:17] <!DM-sama> "Ah.... h-hello." She says nervously as her ears droop. "H-have any of you see Instructor Talos? H-he was supposed to help me remove the memory of a recurring nightmare I've been having but he's not here."
  147. [18:17] * Zenaros peers over his book at her words, a faint noise coming from his familiar.
  148. [18:17] <Rachel> "Not since we met him for some sorta..introduction to this place, no we haven't."
  149. [18:18] <!DM-sama> (You never met the instructors)
  150. [18:18] <!DM-sama> (/me pats)
  151. [18:18] <Zenaros> "... can't say I have."
  152. [18:19] <Rachel> (Oh..we retconned that?)
  153. [18:19] <Rachel> (Whoopsie.)
  154. [18:19] <!DM-sama> "W-wait. you're the new students? Oh dear..." She says as she dances around from foot to foot as if trying to decide what to do.
  155. [18:19] * Daven shakes his head. "I uh...I guess we were hoping to meet him?"
  156. [18:20] <!DM-sama> Her face seems to say "I need to do something senior like so they'll respect me."
  157. [18:20] * Roland chuckles under his breath at the elf girl's obvious thoughts
  158. [18:21] <!DM-sama> "O-of course! Well this is his tower so I'm certain he's just on one of the other floors." She says as she folds her arms and nods affirmatively, despite her obviously nervous expression.
  159. [18:21] <!DM-sama> "Wh-which brings to questions why I haven't been looking for him instead of sitting here waiting....."
  160. [18:21] * Conny taps his finger on his chin for a moment in thought and clears his throat "You...said remove a memory? How exactly would such a procedure be done?"
  161. [18:22] <!DM-sama> Her ears droop again as she drops to her hands and knees apparently giving up on impressing anyone.
  162. [18:22] <!DM-sama> "W-with that..." She points to the glowing crystal from her prone position.
  163. [18:22] * Daven looks left and right to his shoulders then raises his thumb akwardly. "I-It's okay Senior! I uh...I thought you were cool!"
  164. [18:23] <!DM-sama> "It can alter the memories of the user, but it's dangerous for me because I suck... so I need an instructor to do it for me."
  165. [18:23] <Zenaros> "You could go with us... you've probably seen more of this tower than we have."
  166. [18:24] * Conny nods at the suggestion "It would complete both our goals"
  167. [18:24] <Rachel> "It'd help us get to know everything and helps us integrate here"
  168. [18:24] <!DM-sama> Her ears perk up.
  169. [18:24] <Rachel> "I mean you know.. if you wanted we're not gonna force you or nothin.
  170. [18:25] <!DM-sama> "Th-that sounds like a senior-like thing to do...."
  171. [18:25] <!DM-sama> "Okay!" she says excitedly as she hops to her feet.
  172. [18:25] * Daven looks around him as if a meriad of voices were talking to him all at once. "Oh uh...yes we'll gladly take your help Senior!"
  173. [18:25] <!DM-sama> "Follow me then! The next floor houses the Dream Gate!" She says as she points triumphantly.
  174. [18:26] <Ausbro> (So you guys still do 3.5/3.0 or have you moved onto PF?)
  175. [18:26] <Zenaros> (3.5)
  176. [18:26] <!DM-sama> The elf leads the five of you up the stairs to the next floor. (Die dingobreath, 3.5 4lyfe)
  177. [18:26] <Ausbro> (Kks)
  178. [18:27] <Ausbro> (That's nice.)
  179. [18:27] * Conny starts to right something down but stops and looks to the elf girl "Excuse me, may I ask your name?"
  180. [18:27] <!DM-sama> "Eh? Oh yeah! I'm Penely." She says with a nervous smile.
  181. [18:28] <!DM-sama> She opens the door leading to the next facility.
  182. [18:28] <!DM-sama> roll 1d6
  183. [18:28] <Daven> roll 1d6
  184. [18:28] <!DM-sama> Daven rolled 1d6 --> [ 1d6=2 ]{2}
  185. [18:28] <!DM-sama> The room is devoid of people.
  186. [18:28] <Rachel> "Nice to meet ya, I'm Rachel."
  187. [18:28] <Daven> "Eh? I'm not gonna...hrmm....Senior Penely...what are your three..s-sizes?"
  188. [18:28] * Rachel shoulders her bat and grins, holding out her left hand.
  189. [18:29] <!DM-sama> In the middle of the room is a chair that leans ba-.....
  190. [18:29] <!DM-sama> "E-eh?....."
  191. [18:29] <!DM-sama> The elfs ears stand on end as you can visibly see "the willies" shoot up her spine.
  192. [18:29] <!DM-sama> She pretends she didn't hear you.
  193. [18:30] <Zenaros> "... Zenaros-" he holds back a fit of laughter at Daven's remark.
  194. [18:30] <Daven> "T-the voices...they're wondering...what your three sizes were?" He says he seems to be shrinking more and more, rubbing this fingers together.
  195. [18:30] <!DM-sama> In the middle of the room is a chair that leans back in front of a large crystal ring, it's covered in runes and connected to the chair with tubes.
  196. [18:30] <!DM-sama> The chair has a crown like fixture that seems it would attach to the sitters head.
  197. [18:31] <Zenaros> "Too direct, friend."
  198. [18:31] <!DM-sama> "ANYWAY!"
  199. [18:31] <!DM-sama> "Th-this is the dream gate."
  200. [18:31] <!DM-sama> "When someone willingly falls asleep in the chair there with the thingy on their head it becomes possible for up to four other people to enter their dreams.
  201. [18:31] * Daven tries to seem to be quiet down things left and right of him. "I-it wasn't funny! ...Ah eh? Oh um...yeah..I uh suppose it was."
  202. [18:32] <!DM-sama> "I've never used it before, but I've heard some funny things have happened."
  203. [18:33] <!DM-sama> "...... Now that I think about it it might be easier to deal with my nightmares using this thing.... but I'd need friends for that... ehehe."
  204. [18:33] <!DM-sama> "N-NOT THAT I'M NOT POPULAR!"
  205. [18:33] * Zenaros sets his book to look at the device.
  206. [18:33] <!DM-sama> "L-lot's of people are terrified of my magical power you know!?" The elf insists.
  207. [18:33] * Conny raises an eyebrow "No doubt it would be an interesting experience for all involved. " Starts to write something down, raising another eyebrow at the girls comment.
  208. [18:34] * Daven looks at the elf, tiling his head with one way or another. His eyes seem to look to the back of him on occasion then grumbles. "No why would she lie about something so sad?"
  209. [18:34] <Zenaros> "I wouldn't mind having a look, senior Penely." he nods.
  210. [18:35] <!DM-sama> "Eh? R-really?" She says as she thinks for a moment.
  211. [18:35] <@Roland> "Yeah, why the hell not?"
  212. [18:35] <!DM-sama> "N-no, it's alright. Let's jsut find Instructor Talos!" The elf says as she leads your group out of this room and up to the next floor.
  213. [18:36] <!DM-sama> "I'm really no good with working magical machinery...."
  214. [18:36] <!DM-sama> Or magical anything else for that matter.
  215. [18:36] <!DM-sama> ^She didn't say that.
  216. [18:36] <Zenaros> "... my offer stands when you wish." Zenaros returns his face into his book.
  217. [18:36] <@Roland> "Bah, no guts, no glory Penley"
  218. [18:37] <Conny> "If at first you don't succeed try try again?"
  219. [18:37] * Roland walks along whistling
  220. [18:37] <!DM-sama> (You guys are creeping her out so bad.)
  221. [18:37] <Zenaros> (Even me?)
  222. [18:37] * Daven keeps to the back muttering to himself, his two index fingers pressing against one another as he follows the rest of the group.
  223. [18:37] <!DM-sama> (Particularly you and Captain Smooth over there)
  224. [18:37] <Zenaros> (Excellent.)
  225. [18:37] <Conny> (I think I should be the one to say "Even me?")
  226. [18:38] <Zenaros> (Have you seen my character image?)
  227. [18:38] <Daven> (Hey...not my fault the wind elemental wanted to have some fun...at her and his expense...)
  228. [18:38] <!DM-sama> Penely opens the door to the next room.
  229. [18:38] <!DM-sama> roll 1d6
  230. [18:38] <Conny> (Then again, i'm a halfling that isn't all smiles and joy)
  231. [18:38] <Daven> roll 1d6
  232. [18:38] <!DM-sama> Daven rolled 1d6 --> [ 1d6=3 ]{3}
  233. [18:38] <!DM-sama> roll 1d18
  234. [18:39] <Daven> roll 1d18
  235. [18:39] <!DM-sama> Daven rolled 1d18 --> [ 1d18=2 ]{2}
  236. [18:40] <!DM-sama> As you enter the room, it's a large empty chamber with white crystal lining the walls.
  237. [18:40] <!DM-sama> In the center sits http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheetview.php?sheetid=605197
  238. [18:41] <!DM-sama> She sits cross-legged.
  239. [18:41] <!DM-sama> The second elf you've met in a row.
  240. [18:41] <!DM-sama> Well met is a strong word as she appears to be meditating.
  241. [18:41] <!DM-sama> Penely whispers.
  242. [18:42] <!DM-sama> "This is the meditation chamber, it allows us to enter our own inner worlds to strengthen our mana networks."
  243. [18:42] <!DM-sama> "Charme must be busy trying to become stronger."
  244. [18:42] <!DM-sama> "Actually I'm just trying to get some sleep, and this is the one place nobody ever interrupts me." she says as she opens one eye.
  245. [18:43] <Zenaros> "... my own inner world, hmm?"
  246. [18:43] <Daven> "Mana...network...?" He tilts his head on the word, his bangs, moving left and right as he does so.
  247. [18:43] <!DM-sama> "What are you doing here, Lucky? I thought you were banned from operating any magical machinery unsupervised." the girl, apparently called Charme, asks Penely.
  248. [18:44] <@Roland> "Banned?"
  249. [18:44] <!DM-sama> "W-w-what are you talking about? That's rediculous! B-besides I'm just showing the new students around anyway." Penely replies nervously.
  250. [18:44] * Roland tilts his head inquisitively
  251. [18:45] <Rachel> "Banned? This sounds like something I wanna hear~"
  252. [18:45] <!DM-sama> "Huhuhu~ You guys won't learn anything from her except how to blow yourself up." Charme says with a giggle.
  253. [18:45] <!DM-sama> Penely puff up her cheeks and her eyes water.
  254. [18:46] * Daven walks to Penely and pats her on the back. "There there Senior Penely. At least most people don't think you're crazy cus you hear voices in your head." He says with a genuine smile.
  255. [18:46] <!DM-sama> "She's basically the school joke, the only reason she hasn't been kicked out is because she put so much work into studying support magic. She can't even use a wand without it backfiring." charme says with a sadistic grin.
  256. [18:46] * Rachel quickly shoots a glare at Charme. "Do you take pride in her misery..?"
  257. [18:47] <!DM-sama> "W-WELL AT LEAST I DON'T HAVE A BROTHER COMPLEX!" Penely returns as she points.
  258. [18:47] <!DM-sama> Charme's ears twitch.
  259. [18:47] * Daven looks to the others. "...What's a brother complex?"
  260. [18:47] * Zenaros pokes his head out from his book again.
  261. [18:47] <!DM-sama> "You want to die, Lucky?" Charme says as she stands and reaches for her daggers.
  262. [18:47] * Conny eyes Penely as he writes something down
  263. [18:48] <!DM-sama> "I-I'm not scared of you!" Penely says as she closes her eyes tightly, clearly trembling in fear.
  264. [18:48] <!DM-sama> [Stop] You all hear in your minds.
  265. [18:48] <!DM-sama> Not so much a word as a command.
  266. [18:48] <!DM-sama> The two girl are completely paralyzed.
  267. [18:49] <!DM-sama> A man enters the room between your group and flicks Charme's head with his finger.
  268. [18:49] <Daven> "Eh?...Eh?...Magic?" He says asking something that wasn't there as he looks to the two girls.
  269. [18:49] <!DM-sama> http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheetview.php?sheetid=604545
  270. [18:50] <!DM-sama> The white haired man grabs Charme by her ear and drags her over next to Penely.
  271. [18:50] <!DM-sama> The two girls, completely red in the face, look at the ground.
  272. [18:50] <!DM-sama> "honestly, you two are behaving like children in front of the new students." The man sighs as he scratches his head.
  273. [18:50] <!DM-sama> "Young ladies should carry themselves with more dignity than that."
  274. [18:51] <!DM-sama> "Yes sir...." the two girls say in unison as they pout adorably.
  275. [18:51] <!DM-sama> You get the impression that this guy has that effect on most of the female students.
  276. [18:52] <!DM-sama> "Both of you shoo. Charme go do something productive instead of slacking off, and Penely you go perform that memory wipe you wanted. I've set the parameters all you have to do it activate it."
  277. [18:52] <!DM-sama> They both nod and turn to leave.
  278. [18:53] <!DM-sama> "...... I hope she doesn't give herself amnesia this time...." The instructor says once the two girls have gone down the stairs.
  279. [18:53] <!DM-sama> He then turns his attention to your group.
  280. [18:53] <!DM-sama> "Hello, I assume you're all enjoying your first day so far?" he says with a smile.
  281. [18:55] <Rachel> "I am, I like it here."
  282. [18:55] <!DM-sama> "I'm the enchantment instructor Karnis Talos."
  283. [18:55] * Rachel holds up her flower and smiles
  284. [18:55] <!DM-sama> "I look forward to helping guide you all."
  285. [18:56] <!DM-sama> "Was Penely's explanation of the facilities here satisfacotory?"
  286. [18:56] <Daven> "Oh uh...yes sir, she explained everything really well."
  287. [18:56] <!DM-sama> "The only floor remaining is my personal chambers, so there isn't much left to see here but I'll be glad to answer any questions you have."
  288. [18:57] <!DM-sama> The man gives a reliable aura.
  289. [18:57] <!DM-sama> Far different from the headmaster who seems just as likely to troll you as give you actual advice.
  290. [18:57] <Zenaros> "For the most, yes... I'll be sure to make careful use of these facilities." Zenaros nods.
  291. [18:58] * Conny does a small bow "A pleasure to meet you sir and she was quite helpful if a bit needing some motivation at the start. She said you could access your inner world from this room?"
  292. [18:58] * Roland tips his hat "Good to meetcha sir."
  293. [18:58] <!DM-sama> "Be cautious, overuse of any of the facilities here could harm your mental stability."
  294. [18:58] <!DM-sama> "And the mind is key for a mage."
  295. [18:58] <!DM-sama> "That's right, this room is quite useful."
  296. [18:59] <!DM-sama> "It transports your conciousness into a physical representation of your mana network, where you can literally confront your inner demons."
  297. [18:59] <!DM-sama> "It's helped me greatly."
  298. [18:59] <Daven> "Mind...is key...?" He looks to his left for a second...then to his right. He raises his hand at the professor. "Oh uh..Professor, what about if you constantly hear voices of all sorts that no one else seems to hear? Oh and they uh...they said the mana flowers are lovely?"
  299. [19:00] <Zenaros> "... mana flowers?"
  300. [19:00] <!DM-sama> "...... The idea that 'hearing voices' is a trait of the mad is a very non-mage point of view. Skilled mages learn to hear voices that others can't all the time."
  301. [19:01] <!DM-sama> "I'd say it just means you have talent.... and tell them I said thank you." He smiles.
  302. [19:01] <Daven> "N-no need to sir they can hear you loud and clear!" He says nodding to the man again and again.
  303. [19:02] * Conny crosses out something on his journal and starts writing something.
  304. [19:02] <!DM-sama> "If there are no other questions I'd suggest you all move on to the next tower. There's a lot left to see."
  305. [19:03] * Zenaros raises his book, "There is one I have, Instructor Talos."
  306. [19:03] <!DM-sama> "I'm.... going to go check on Penely...."
  307. [19:03] <!DM-sama> "Yes?" he stops and turns.
  308. [19:03] <Zenaros> "What is there to keep us from becoming trapped in another's mind in the Dream Gate?"
  309. [19:04] <!DM-sama> "The magic of dream gate prevents them from waking until the visitors leave... or are killed."
  310. [19:04] <!DM-sama> "As I said.... use the facilities sparingly. The risks are great."
  311. [19:04] * Zenaros retracts his book, "... noted, Instructor."
  312. [19:05] <!DM-sama> Talos turns and heads down the stairs leaving you to decide amongst yourselves where to go next.
  313. [19:05] * Conny bows again "A pleasure to have met you sir"
  314. [19:05] <!DM-sama> Gotaa potty.
  315. [19:05] <!DM-sama> And we got a lot left to cover, so decide what tower is next.
  316. [19:06] * Conny turns to the others and clears his throat "So...where to next?"
  317. [19:07] <Rachel> "Evocation? I'd like to really go there."
  318. [19:07] * Daven stays quiet for a moment as he closes his eyes then looks up. "The voices-I mean uh...I think we should go to conjuration."
  319. [19:08] <Rachel> "That's fine too, I guess, it's really up to you guys but you know my preference"
  320. [19:08] * Zenaros flips through his book, where the handouts about the towers are tucked in. "... there's no Illusion Tower listed."
  321. [19:09] <@Roland> "I'll go wherever you guys wanna go"
  322. [19:10] <!DM-sama> Yes, mouto, everyone knows your preference.
  323. [19:10] <!DM-sama> :v
  324. [19:11] <Rachel> Excuse me, princess.
  325. [19:11] <Daven> Imouto, don't make me link it to you in spanish
  326. [19:11] <Conny> "I wouldn't mind visiting the evocation tower. We will no doubt be visiting all towers on our tour of the facilities"
  327. [19:12] * Daven looks to the others. "Well..m-maybe if we go to Evocation or Conjuration, we can find where Illusion is...r-right?"
  328. [19:14] <Zenaros> "A sound plan... though I imagine Divination would be a better method of finding this illusive tower."
  329. [19:15] <Daven> "Well..lets go to the evocation tower and see what happens, yeah? Yeah?"
  330. [19:16] <Zenaros> "Agreeable." he nods.
  331. [19:16] == Ausbro [webchat@12daef3.cd7f79a.uow.edu.au] has quit [Ping timeout: 360 seconds]
  332. [19:18] <!DM-sama> So Evocation then?
  333. [19:18] <Rachel> Yay! Punchpunch!
  334. [19:19] <!DM-sama> You leave the Enchantment tower and make your way to the Tower of Evocation.
  335. [19:19] <!DM-sama> As you open the large iron door you enter the tower.
  336. [19:19] <!DM-sama> The entrance halls is equally impressive to the last tower.
  337. [19:20] <!DM-sama> The walls appear to be made of iron, but cracks crackle with lightning and flame as if a vast power is being held back.
  338. [19:20] <!DM-sama> The stiar move upwards jsut like in the previous tower.
  339. [19:20] <!DM-sama> In the middle of the main hall is a pool of acid.
  340. [19:21] <!DM-sama> You can smell the chlorine.
  341. [19:21] <!DM-sama> There's also a breeze despite ebing inside.
  342. [19:21] <!DM-sama> And ice crystals hang from the cieling.
  343. [19:21] <!DM-sama> It's as if every element in nature is fighting for control within the tower.
  344. [19:21] <@Roland> "Woah..."
  345. [19:22] * Daven holds his ears tightly. "S-so much screaming..."
  346. [19:22] * Rachel smirks. "This feels familiar.."
  347. [19:24] * Zenaros jots down notes in his tome, "... I should have gotten a cloak."
  348. [19:25] <Conny> "This is...quite different compared to the last tower"
  349. [19:25] <!DM-sama> The five of you head up the stairs towards the first facility.
  350. [19:26] <!DM-sama> You open the door.
  351. [19:26] <!DM-sama> Roll 1d6
  352. [19:26] <Daven> roll 1d6
  353. [19:26] <!DM-sama> Daven rolled 1d6 --> [ 1d6=1 ]{1}
  354. [19:26] <!DM-sama> The room is empty, but that's not what you notice first.
  355. [19:27] <!DM-sama> Even if it were full of people you wouldn't have noticed.
  356. [19:27] <!DM-sama> As you enter the room you're all dumbstruck as the door opens into an extradimensional space.
  357. [19:27] <!DM-sama> The room is a massive circle floating in space.
  358. [19:27] <!DM-sama> Open sky is visible in every direction with no ground in sight.
  359. [19:28] <!DM-sama> The circle itself is clearly an arena, it's engraved with seals all over.
  360. [19:28] <!DM-sama> This place must be for combat between students.
  361. [19:29] <!DM-sama> The runes are likely magical protections to prevent any permanent injury or death.
  362. [19:29] * Daven finally takes his hands away from his ears and looks around, sighing. "Aaah, it finally stopped."
  363. [19:29] <!DM-sama> There's a large rotatable dial in the center, with depictions of several elements on it.
  364. [19:30] <!DM-sama> Earth, Fire, Water, Lightning, Acid, Cold, Sound.... it's currently set to Air.
  365. [19:30] * Zenaros sets his book to his side, "Most interesting..."
  366. [19:32] <!DM-sama> Anybody going to add anything? Anyone gonna touch the dial?
  367. [19:32] <!DM-sama> If not we can move on.
  368. [19:32] <Rachel> Mm.
  369. [19:32] <Rachel> I wanna turn it to water.
  370. [19:32] <!DM-sama> Anybody gonna stop her?
  371. [19:33] <Zenaros> I'm just noting what it does.
  372. [19:33] <!DM-sama> try to stop her*
  373. [19:34] <!DM-sama> Okay then.
  374. [19:34] <!DM-sama> Rachel turns the dial in the middle of the arena.
  375. [19:34] <!DM-sama> There's a button to press after you change it.
  376. [19:35] <!DM-sama> When you press the button the pedastal lights up and all of you feel a slight tingle as the space your in changes.
  377. [19:35] <!DM-sama> You find yourselves totally submerged in an infinate amount of water.
  378. [19:35] <!DM-sama> However you can still see and breath.
  379. [19:35] <!DM-sama> It's like you're in a giant bubble of water.
  380. [19:36] <!DM-sama> Think the FFX blitzball arenas
  381. [19:36] <!DM-sama> Only no matter how far you swim you wouldn't ever reach the end.
  382. [19:36] * Daven swims around, putting his hands behinds his head.
  383. [19:36] <!DM-sama> Also you are all soaking wet now.
  384. [19:36] <Zenaros> ... what about my book?
  385. [19:36] <!DM-sama> Especially Rachel, who has boobies.
  386. [19:37] <!DM-sama> It's wet too, but the pages aren't damaged.
  387. [19:37] <Zenaros> Oh thank you.
  388. [19:37] <Zenaros> ;-;
  389. [19:37] <Conny> (Oh thank god)
  390. [19:37] * Zenaros frantically reaches for his book
  391. [19:37] <!DM-sama> You going to keep fucking with the magic space room or are you good now?
  392. [19:38] * Roland whistles in a catcall fashion at rachel
  393. [19:38] <Rachel> I want to
  394. [19:38] <Zenaros> Before that...
  395. [19:38] <Rachel> I don't think everyone else wants to
  396. [19:38] <Rachel> but I want to.
  397. [19:38] * Zenaros attempts talking, "My booooook."
  398. [19:39] * Roland steps forward to the device
  399. [19:39] <!DM-sama> Also, just FYI
  400. [19:39] <@Roland> "Let's see what happens if I do THIS"
  401. [19:39] <!DM-sama> The dial is loose enough you could spin it roulette style.
  402. [19:39] * Roland spins the dial and lets it fall in a random place
  403. [19:39] <@Roland> (dat hivemind)
  404. [19:39] <Zenaros> Oh lawd this gon be fun
  405. [19:39] <!DM-sama> roll 1d10
  406. [19:40] <Conny> (oh dear)
  407. [19:40] <@Roland> roll 1d10
  408. [19:40] <!DM-sama> Roland rolled 1d10 --> [ 1d10=8 ]{8}
  409. [19:40] <!DM-sama> It lands on sound.
  410. [19:40] <!DM-sama> Gonna hit the button?
  411. [19:40] <Daven> Do it
  412. [19:40] <Zenaros> Do it
  413. [19:40] <@Roland> "HERE WE GO"
  414. [19:40] * Roland slams his open palm down on the button
  415. [19:41] <!DM-sama> The room is replaced by a sphere of pure sonic vibration.
  416. [19:41] <!DM-sama> Everything is blurry, as the blur spell and you can all hear a constant humming that drowns out all other sound.
  417. [19:41] <!DM-sama> You can speak, but nobody can hear you.
  418. [19:41] <!DM-sama> Like trying to spit while totally underwater.
  419. [19:42] <!DM-sama> It's tingly.
  420. [19:42] <!DM-sama> Also you all have boners now.
  421. [19:42] <!DM-sama> Except Rachel.
  422. [19:42] <@Roland> (lol)
  423. [19:42] <Conny> Even Rachel
  424. [19:42] <Conny> Drat.
  425. [19:42] <!DM-sama> She's doubled over trying to turn the dial before her knees give out on her.
  426. [19:43] * Roland holds Rachel at bay with one hand while laughing
  427. [19:43] <!DM-sama> You're 100% sure no female student has EVER abused this.
  428. [19:43] <!DM-sama> Nope.
  429. [19:43] <!DM-sama> Never.
  430. [19:43] <!DM-sama> (She can still break your face)
  431. [19:43] * Zenaros covers his crotch with his book, the snake on his shoulder visibly cackling.
  432. [19:43] <@Roland> (don't care, worth)
  433. [19:44] * Daven coveres his erection with both hands. "D-don't you think that's enough?"
  434. [19:44] <!DM-sama> But yes.
  435. [19:44] <Rachel> "G-Goddamn it this fucking thing won't turn!!"
  436. [19:44] <@Roland> "Move princess, I got it."
  437. [19:44] <!DM-sama> roll 1d10
  438. [19:44] * Roland spins the dial randomly and presses the button again
  439. [19:45] <@Roland> roll 1d10
  440. [19:45] <!DM-sama> Roland rolled 1d10 --> [ 1d10=4 ]{4}
  441. [19:45] <!DM-sama> IT's open sky again, this time storm clouds as far as the eye can see.
  442. [19:45] <!DM-sama> It's windy.
  443. [19:45] <!DM-sama> And the loud cracks of thunder are all too close.
  444. [19:45] <!DM-sama> ..... Which one of you is the tallest? :3
  445. [19:45] * Roland is doubled over with laughter
  446. [19:45] * Conny doesn't even try to hide anything "Well, that was interesting."
  447. [19:46] <Conny> (Not I)
  448. [19:46] <Zenaros> 5'11...
  449. [19:46] <Rachel> probably not me
  450. [19:46] <Rachel> only 5'5
  451. [19:46] <@Roland> 5'7", but I'm on the ground dying of laughter anyways
  452. [19:46] <!DM-sama> Make a reflex save to spin the wheel when your hair starts standing on end.
  453. [19:46] <!DM-sama> Zen.
  454. [19:46] <Conny> (It's a great day to be a halfling)
  455. [19:46] <Zenaros> roll 1d20+10
  456. [19:46] <!DM-sama> Zenaros rolled 1d20+10 --> [ 1d20=12 ]{22}
  457. [19:47] <!DM-sama> Never before has a mage run so fast.
  458. [19:47] <!DM-sama> roll 1d10
  459. [19:47] <Zenaros> roll 1d10
  460. [19:47] <!DM-sama> Zenaros rolled 1d10 --> [ 1d10=1 ]{1}
  461. [19:47] <Zenaros> Don't even care ;_;
  462. [19:47] <!DM-sama> You find yourselves in total darkness.
  463. [19:47] <!DM-sama> As you feel around it appears that rocks are floating around randomly.
  464. [19:47] <!DM-sama> Anybody gonna cast Light?
  465. [19:48] <Rachel> Can I light a cigarette?
  466. [19:48] <!DM-sama> Yes, but it's hardly enough to see by.
  467. [19:48] <!DM-sama> It's more like a lighthouse saying "accidental boob over here, stay away"
  468. [19:48] <@Roland> [light] and I use it on my right hand
  469. [19:49] <!DM-sama> The illumination from Roland's hand reveals that you're actually in a vast cavern of earth.
  470. [19:50] <!DM-sama> Gravity seems negotiable here as rocks float around.
  471. [19:50] <!DM-sama> Adn the amount of precious stones is shocking.
  472. [19:50] <!DM-sama> Veins of gems and raw metal jut through the erath.
  473. [19:50] * Zenaros is catching his breath, the serpent on his shoulder coiling with its mouth agape.
  474. [19:51] <!DM-sama> Also, the illuminated hand of Roland groped accidental delinquent boob as he thrusts it forward to cast the spell.
  475. [19:51] <!DM-sama> Roll to hit mouto.
  476. [19:51] <Rachel> uh
  477. [19:51] * Daven looks around as Roland and the Delinquent seem to be getting around fabulously.
  478. [19:51] <Rachel> Hm
  479. [19:51] <Rachel> hold on
  480. [19:51] <!DM-sama> You don't want to smack him?
  481. [19:51] * Conny notes it in his journal "I have to say this is quite a fascinating experience."
  482. [19:51] <Rachel> roll 1d20+10
  483. [19:51] <!DM-sama> Rachel rolled 1d20+10 --> [ 1d20=10 ]{20}
  484. [19:51] <Rachel> roll 1d20+5
  485. [19:51] <!DM-sama> Rachel rolled 1d20+5 --> [ 1d20=7 ]{12}
  486. [19:52] <Zenaros> "Nice catch..."
  487. [19:52] <Rachel> I couldn't decide if bat or hands but
  488. [19:52] <Rachel> both have the same roll
  489. [19:52] <!DM-sama> Damage on both.
  490. [19:52] <Rachel> Bat would be mean though I think.
  491. [19:52] <Rachel> But it would also be comedic
  492. [19:52] <Rachel> roll 1d8+4
  493. [19:52] <!DM-sama> Rachel rolled 1d8+4 --> [ 1d8=7 ]{11}
  494. [19:52] <Rachel> roll 1d8+4
  495. [19:52] <!DM-sama> Rachel rolled 1d8+4 --> [ 1d8=4 ]{8}
  496. [19:52] <!DM-sama> She brains you in the face and back of the head with her bat.
  497. [19:52] <!DM-sama> First one, then the other.
  498. [19:52] <!DM-sama> Worth it?
  499. [19:53] <Rachel> "IDIOT WATCH WHERE YOU'RE PUTTING YOUR HAND"
  500. [19:53] * Roland giggles from the floor, does a kickup, dusts himself off and just says with a grin, "WORTH IT."
  501. [19:53] <!DM-sama> That would make a great "STOP POSTING" .gif
  502. [19:53] <!DM-sama> I can see it.
  503. [19:54] <Zenaros> I was drinking tea, my sides.
  504. [19:54] * Conny shakes his head as he eyes Roland.
  505. [19:54] <!DM-sama> Are we done here or are you guys going to roll again?
  506. [19:54] <!DM-sama> Are you just TRYING to get the acid level?
  507. [19:54] <@Roland> "I say we get to gettin."
  508. [19:55] <Zenaros> "... I think we've seen enough, lest I become a lightning rod again."
  509. [19:55] <Daven> "L-lets see the rest of the tower! This place scares me..."
  510. [19:55] <Conny> "As fun as acid would be why don't we move on?"
  511. [19:56] <!DM-sama> You all continue on to the next floor.
  512. [19:56] <!DM-sama> Youopen the door.
  513. [19:56] <!DM-sama> roll 1d6
  514. [19:56] <!DM-sama> I don't care who.
  515. [19:57] <Rachel> roll 1d6
  516. [19:57] <!DM-sama> Rachel rolled 1d6 --> [ 1d6=4 ]{4}
  517. [19:57] <!DM-sama> roll 1d18
  518. [19:57] <Daven> roll 1d18
  519. [19:57] <!DM-sama> Daven rolled 1d18 --> [ 1d18=2 ]{2}
  520. [19:57] <!DM-sama> reroll, you met her already.
  521. [19:58] <!DM-sama> roll 1d16
  522. [19:58] <!DM-sama> Easy modo.
  523. [19:58] <@Roland> roll 1d16
  524. [19:58] <!DM-sama> Roland rolled 1d16 --> [ 1d16=10 ]{10}
  525. [19:58] <Rachel> roll 1d16
  526. [19:58] <!DM-sama> Rachel rolled 1d16 --> [ 1d16=8 ]{8}
  527. [19:59] <!DM-sama> This room has threads of mana along all the walls, all leading back to a loom like device.
  528. [20:00] <!DM-sama> Seated at it is http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheetview.php?sheetid=606281
  529. [20:00] <!DM-sama> Probably because of who's using the room, the threads are gold and glow like strands of sunlight.
  530. [20:00] <!DM-sama> "Ah! Hello, there. I'll be done in a moment." The muscular young man says with a smile.
  531. [20:01] <!DM-sama> He continues to spin the thread, but he does so mechanically, almost as if he's not really spinning it himself, but merely pedaling the machine and allowing his hands to move on their own.
  532. [20:02] <!DM-sama> Speaking of his hands, you can see that the threads actually connect to his body.
  533. [20:02] * Zenaros glances from his book, "... bright."
  534. [20:02] <!DM-sama> Finally he stops and stands and the threads all retract instantly, being pulled into his body at an alarming speed.
  535. [20:03] <!DM-sama> Once they've all retracted he make a fist and stretches.
  536. [20:03] <Conny> "Well that was...interesting"
  537. [20:03] <!DM-sama> "Alright it's all yours.... um.... I don't recognize any of you..." He says as he crosses his arms.
  538. [20:03] <Daven> "Um...what were those threads? They looked like they came from..."
  539. [20:04] <Conny> "Well we have only just arrived so that is to be expected no doubt"
  540. [20:04] <!DM-sama> "My mana network, yes. I was augmenting one of my spells."
  541. [20:05] <!DM-sama> "Oh? The new students? Welcome then!" he says with a smile.
  542. [20:05] <!DM-sama> "I'll be happy to help if you need anything, if anyone bullies you just let me know." The young man says as he pats Daven and Conny on the heads.
  543. [20:06] <!DM-sama> "And you, make sure to tell me if any of the horn dog boys around here tries anything and I'll set them straight." he says as he smiles at Rachel.
  544. [20:06] <Daven> "Ahu...." He says as he gets patted on the head.
  545. [20:06] <Rachel> "You act like I can't handle myself"
  546. [20:06] <Zenaros> "... what does one do to simply alter their spells?" Zen says, glancing at the device.
  547. [20:06] <Conny> "I'll no doubt keep that in mind Mr?" He tilted his head
  548. [20:06] * Rachel taps her bat idly against her foot. "I clocked one already, and if anyone bullies them I can take care of them easily."
  549. [20:07] <@Roland> "Oh boy, this guys a white knight. I hate goons like this..." and pulls his hat over his face and leans against the wall
  550. [20:07] <!DM-sama> "I... was only trying to help. Sorry if I offended." He says as he takes a step back.
  551. [20:08] <Rachel> "Didn't offend me, I was just letting you know."
  552. [20:08] <!DM-sama> "Of course..."
  553. [20:08] <!DM-sama> "W-well I'll be going then... stay out of trouble!" he says as he turns to leave.
  554. [20:09] <!DM-sama> His sword was shiny....
  555. [20:09] <Rachel> "And why are you headed off, did I scare you away?"
  556. [20:09] * Daven waves at the young man. "He seemed...friendly?"
  557. [20:09] <!DM-sama> He stops half way down the stair.
  558. [20:09] <Conny> (...we are going to creep everyone out in this school aren't we)
  559. [20:09] * Conny nods at this "He seemed cooperative"
  560. [20:09] <Zenaros> (It's not my fault...)
  561. [20:09] <!DM-sama> "My apologies ma'am, but I'm not afraid of anyone." he says as he turns with a stern expression.
  562. [20:10] <!DM-sama> "That was directed at you too. Even if you are a woman I won't hold back if you break the rules."
  563. [20:10] * Rachel smiles. "Sorry if I offended, I was only trying to understand."
  564. [20:11] <@Roland> "Hot air."
  565. [20:11] <!DM-sama> "..." The young man takes a deep breath as he glares at Roland.
  566. [20:11] * Roland whistles
  567. [20:12] * Zenaros jots down in his tome.
  568. [20:12] <!DM-sama> "I'm going to walk away, this time. Enjoy your first day... but don't think being new makes you exept to the rules." he says as he turns, his hand tightly on his rapier.
  569. [20:12] <@Roland> "You're welcome to try anytime big man. Any time."
  570. [20:12] <!DM-sama> He ignores you and walks away.
  571. [20:12] <Rachel> "Hotheaded. I like it."
  572. [20:13] <@Roland> "Like I said. Hot. Air."
  573. [20:13] * Roland leans against the wall again
  574. [20:14] <@Roland> "Guys like that ain't jack shit. I've been gettin' my ass kicked by them since I was a boy. They tire quick."
  575. [20:14] <!DM-sama> Anyway, the mana loom.
  576. [20:15] <!DM-sama> From what you gather it's used to rewrite the way a spell you know works, but none of you have any real idea how to use it.
  577. [20:15] <!DM-sama> Would anyone like to try or shall we continue?
  578. [20:15] <Zenaros> Would cantrips work with it too?
  579. [20:16] <Conny> I am good for the moment.
  580. [20:16] <Rachel> I'd like to fuck around with it
  581. [20:17] <!DM-sama> It only works on spells that are actually written on your spell list.
  582. [20:18] <!DM-sama> Rachel sits at the mana loom.
  583. [20:18] <Zenaros> Ah
  584. [20:18] <!DM-sama> You place your hands on it and begin to pedal.
  585. [20:18] <!DM-sama> Like thread from a spool your faint blue mana network begins to slowly unravel.
  586. [20:19] <!DM-sama> To the others it appears that your ability to use magic is fading.
  587. [20:19] <!DM-sama> You can clearly see a list of all the spells you know, you can see where they reside in your unraveled mana network.
  588. [20:19] <!DM-sama> What spell do you want to augment?
  589. [20:20] <Rachel> Burning Hands
  590. [20:20] <Zenaros> (I'll go after she does, I know what I want to augment~)
  591. [20:20] <!DM-sama> - Alter visual effect
  592. [20:20] <!DM-sama> - alter damage type
  593. [20:20] <!DM-sama> - Alter damage variable
  594. [20:20] <!DM-sama> - Alter additional effects
  595. [20:21] <!DM-sama> What do you want to change?
  596. [20:21] <Rachel> I want to look at additional effects.
  597. [20:21] <!DM-sama> Burning hands has no additional effects, would you like to reduce the damage to add one?
  598. [20:22] <Rachel> What is the current damage?
  599. [20:22] <!DM-sama> 1d4/level(max5d4)
  600. [20:22] <!DM-sama> You can reduce it to 1d3/level to add a new effect.
  601. [20:25] <Rachel> Can I reduce it to make it do a DoT on contact?
  602. [20:26] <Rachel> Actually
  603. [20:26] <Rachel> May I reduce the range to touch to make it do a DoT
  604. [20:26] <!DM-sama> Yeah, sure.
  605. [20:27] <!DM-sama> Do you want it to do a DoT, or do you want to make it persistent cast?
  606. [20:27] <Rachel> Persistent cast?
  607. [20:27] <Rachel> Like..coating my hands in fire?
  608. [20:27] <!DM-sama> The latter would let you use it multiple times over theduration, but each time it would only effect one target.
  609. [20:27] <!DM-sama> Basically.
  610. [20:27] <Rachel> Yesplease
  611. [20:28] <!DM-sama> You're changing it so that it now deal 1d4/lv (max 5d4) to a target you touch correct?
  612. [20:28] <Rachel> Yes
  613. [20:28] <!DM-sama> It can be used 1/2 levels.
  614. [20:29] <!DM-sama> So it hs 3 charges right now after you cast it.
  615. [20:29] <!DM-sama> Your level divided by 2 is the charges.
  616. [20:29] <!DM-sama> Okay?
  617. [20:29] <Rachel> Okay
  618. [20:30] <!DM-sama> Alright then, you've rewoven Burning Hands, the old version is lost to you now.
  619. [20:30] <Rachel> Can I reweave it more than once?
  620. [20:30] <!DM-sama> Yeah.
  621. [20:30] <!DM-sama> But the trade offs remain the same so it doesn't really matter.
  622. [20:31] <!DM-sama> You're not actually making spells stronger, you're making them different.
  623. [20:31] <!DM-sama> See?
  624. [20:31] <Zenaros> I can dig it
  625. [20:31] <Rachel> Yep
  626. [20:31] <!DM-sama> Leave it to mouto to save me the time of having to write a tutorial.
  627. [20:32] <!DM-sama> Rachel's mana winds back up into her and she stands up looking light headed.
  628. [20:33] * Rachel shakes her head as she tries to maintain her balance. "Th-That was something else..I gotta see what this does."
  629. [20:33] <Rachel> [Burning Hands]
  630. [20:33] <!DM-sama> Rachel's hands light aflame.
  631. [20:34] <!DM-sama> The fire persists for 1round/lv or until she's hit something 3 times.
  632. [20:34] <!DM-sama> So since she's just punching air it lasts for 36 seconds.
  633. [20:34] <Zenaros> Nice
  634. [20:34] <!DM-sama> It also becomes apparent that none of you could take her in a fist fight as her air swings make you flinch.
  635. [20:34] * Roland whistles
  636. [20:35] <!DM-sama> Anyone else gonna take a crack at it, or shall we move on?
  637. [20:35] <Zenaros> Me!
  638. [20:35] <!DM-sama> Okay.
  639. [20:35] <!DM-sama> Choose your spell.
  640. [20:35] <Zenaros> Color Spray
  641. [20:35] <!DM-sama> Okay.
  642. [20:36] <!DM-sama> Do you want to augment it's effects or it's asthetics?
  643. [20:36] <Zenaros> It's asthetics for now
  644. [20:36] <!DM-sama> Okay.
  645. [20:36] <!DM-sama> Keep it simple early, good.
  646. [20:36] <!DM-sama> How do you want it to look?
  647. [20:36] <Zenaros> Make it dark~
  648. [20:36] <!DM-sama> A fan of darkness instead of pretty colors?
  649. [20:36] <!DM-sama> Simple.
  650. [20:37] <!DM-sama> Also everyone gets to see how black and creepy your mana is now.
  651. [20:37] <Zenaros> Ku ku~
  652. [20:37] <!DM-sama> It's now a fear effect, not a pattern effect.
  653. [20:38] * Daven takes a few steps back once he sees the creepy as fuck mana.
  654. [20:38] <Zenaros> Also calling it Dark Spray on my sheet, if that's okay
  655. [20:38] <!DM-sama> The actual effects are unchanged, but it'll work on creatures that are immune to pattersn and not on creatures that are immune to fear.
  656. [20:38] <!DM-sama> What it actually does remains the same.
  657. [20:39] <!DM-sama> That's fine.
  658. [20:39] <!DM-sama> Anyone else want a turn?
  659. [20:39] <!DM-sama> Is Brutus still awake?
  660. [20:39] <Rachel> I'd go again simply to change the aesthetics but
  661. [20:39] <Rachel> I think I'd collapse.
  662. [20:39] <!DM-sama> You can do it later.
  663. [20:39] <Daven> Hmm
  664. [20:39] <Daven> Naw I'm good
  665. [20:40] <Daven> Since most of the things I have is SUMMON
  666. [20:40] * Zenaros walks from the loom, "... excellent..."
  667. [20:40] <!DM-sama> You can weave as many spells as you want in one visit, so you only have to invest 1/3rd of a day to changing your entire spelllist.
  668. [20:40] <!DM-sama> In the future spell changes will be done in private chat with me.
  669. [20:40] * Daven nods
  670. [20:41] <Daven> We should probably finish the tower and break since Brutus is ded.
  671. [20:41] <Conny> I am
  672. [20:41] <!DM-sama> Slow?
  673. [20:41] <!DM-sama> Yes, you are.
  674. [20:41] <Zenaros> Or not.
  675. [20:41] * DM-sama hugs the Brute
  676. [20:41] <Daven> Ded? Tired?
  677. [20:42] <!DM-sama> Okay.
  678. [20:42] <!DM-sama> Nobody else wants to weave a spell?
  679. [20:42] <Zenaros> I'm good.
  680. [20:42] <Conny> Nope, but I might return later at some point once I have put more thought into it.
  681. [20:42] <Daven> Naw, the only spells that aren't summon for me are Acid Arrow, Grease, Obsucring Mist, Unseen Servant and Phantom Steed
  682. [20:42] <!DM-sama> That's fine.
  683. [20:42] <Daven> I'm good.
  684. [20:43] <@Roland> I'm really really thinking about it
  685. [20:43] <@Roland> know what
  686. [20:43] <@Roland> fuck it
  687. [20:43] <Conny> Also, no I am not ded.
  688. [20:43] <Daven> Sound like you are
  689. [20:43] * Roland steps forward, brushes his duster off, "Do me a favor, hold this for me, yeah?", hands Rachel his hat, and sits on the chair
  690. [20:43] <!DM-sama> Okay.
  691. [20:44] <!DM-sama> You all continue up to what you're fairly certain is the last floor before the instructors room.
  692. [20:44] * Rachel takes the hat and puts it on. "Sure thing"
  693. [20:44] <@Roland> Oi oi
  694. [20:44] <@Roland> dm
  695. [20:44] <@Roland> pay attention
  696. [20:44] <!DM-sama> Oh.
  697. [20:44] <!DM-sama> Okay.
  698. [20:44] <!DM-sama> What do you want to weave?
  699. [20:44] <@Roland> gimme a sec
  700. [20:46] <@Roland> Ghoul Touch
  701. [20:46] <@Roland> I'm going to change ghoul touch
  702. [20:46] <!DM-sama> Okay?
  703. [20:46] <@Roland> I want to remove the stench aspect of it and replace it with something else
  704. [20:46] <@Roland> what are my options
  705. [20:46] <!DM-sama> Alright then.
  706. [20:46] <!DM-sama> I'll send you a list of equivalent effects.
  707. [20:51] <!DM-sama> As Roland weaves his spell his wispy grey smoke like mana fills the room.
  708. [20:51] <!DM-sama> It gives you all chills, but it's not all together unpleasant.
  709. [20:51] <!DM-sama> The kind of chill you get randomly out of nowhere that passes after a moment.
  710. [20:52] <!DM-sama> His magic is clearly negative, but not at all hostile.... unlike Zen.
  711. [20:53] <!DM-sama> Anyone else want a turn? Or are we good on that?
  712. [20:53] <!DM-sama> One sec.
  713. [20:53] == DM-sama changed the topic of #CYOAsteady to: 2 Days of following the schedule. Break tomorrow.| PASTEBIN HUB: http://pastebin.com/3azKncy7 | Brutus Pastebin: http://pastebin.com/mSFLXe0N
  714. [20:53] <Conny> "Very interesting" He scribbles something down in his journal
  715. [20:53] * DM-sama thumbsup
  716. [20:53] <Daven> I'm good
  717. [20:53] * Conny thumbsup
  718. [20:53] <!DM-sama> Okay.
  719. [20:53] <!DM-sama> See above.
  720. [20:54] <!DM-sama> You continue up to the next floor.
  721. [20:54] <Daven> Unlike everyone else, I dun wanna turn my grease into a black blob or something
  722. [20:54] * Roland steps off the chair and grabs his hat back from Rachel, flips it onto his head and runs his hand across the brim and says "Much abliged Ma'am."
  723. [20:54] <!DM-sama> roll 1d6
  724. [20:54] <Daven> roll 1d6
  725. [20:54] <@Roland> roll 1d6
  726. [20:54] <!DM-sama> As you open the door.
  727. [20:54] <!DM-sama> Daven rolled 1d6 --> [ 1d6=4 ]{4}
  728. [20:54] <!DM-sama> Roland rolled 1d6 --> [ 1d6=6 ]{6}
  729. [20:54] <!DM-sama> roll 1d15
  730. [20:54] <@Roland> roll 1d15
  731. [20:54] <!DM-sama> Roland rolled 1d15 --> [ 1d15=7 ]{7}
  732. [20:55] <!DM-sama> In this room is a swirling vortex of chaotic magic.
  733. [20:55] <!DM-sama> It floats in the center and being near if fills all of you with apprehension.
  734. [20:56] <!DM-sama> Standing in front of it, staring intently at it is a girl.
  735. [20:56] <!DM-sama> http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheetview.php?sheetid=606103
  736. [20:58] <!DM-sama> The vortex forms a crackling ball of multicolored lightning.
  737. [20:58] <!DM-sama> It arcs out to the edges of the room.
  738. [20:59] <!DM-sama> Anybody going to say anything?
  739. [20:59] * Conny moves a bit closer with pen at the ready "Well well well...this is interesting"
  740. [20:59] * Daven looks around and approaches the vortex. "Woah..what is this place?"
  741. [20:59] <!DM-sama> "It's the Maelstrom." The girl says flatly.
  742. [21:00] <!DM-sama> The most concentrated focal point of mana at the academy.... we students aren't privy to it's purpose."
  743. [21:00] <!DM-sama> This girl is beautiful.
  744. [21:00] <!DM-sama> Stunningly so.
  745. [21:00] <!DM-sama> The intensity with which she stares at the vortex of mana shows more suspicion that actual interest.
  746. [21:01] <!DM-sama> Her staff seems to be vibrating from ebing so close to such a powerful magical source indicating the energy contained within.
  747. [21:01] <Daven> "O-oh...Oh...." He quickly realizes the girl and his head instantly goes down, his fingers pressing against one another. "O-oh but um..why is it here then?"
  748. [21:02] <!DM-sama> "I don't know... I've asked instructor Carim and Headmaster Eiswell but both refused to give an answer."
  749. [21:02] <!DM-sama> "You are the snew students?" She says without looking away from the ball of magical energy.
  750. [21:03] <Zenaros> "Yes..."
  751. [21:03] <Daven> "Oh um, yes I'm Daven and they're are um.....hm?" He titls his head as he looks at the others.
  752. [21:03] <Conny> "Very interesting" He finishes his writing and closes his journal for the first time "Indeed we are madam"
  753. [21:03] * Conny looks over and nods at Daven "...Conny"
  754. [21:04] <Rachel> "I'm Rachel."
  755. [21:04] * Roland tips his hat "Roland."
  756. [21:04] * Zenaros looks out from his book, "... Zenaros. The snake is Nura."
  757. [21:04] <!DM-sama> The girl finally turns towards you and smiles softly.
  758. [21:04] <!DM-sama> "I'm Jaina, it's a pleasure to meet you all."
  759. [21:05] * Roland whistles, "You are one pretty woman, if you don't mind me being so bold ma'am."
  760. [21:06] * Roland smirks and stares at the Maelstrom
  761. [21:06] <!DM-sama> "I... thank you. If you like I can guide you on a tour of another facility since there's little students can do in this room."
  762. [21:07] <Daven> "Other...facility?"
  763. [21:07] <@Roland> "Well, I don't know about the rest of my peers here, but I think I'd enjoy that."
  764. [21:07] <Zenaros> "I don't suppose you know where the Illusion Tower is." Zenaros asks flatly.
  765. [21:07] <!DM-sama> "FUCK that.... you littel bastards aren't going anywhere." You hear a loud obnoxious voice say from behind as the door slams closed.
  766. [21:07] <!DM-sama> http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheetview.php?sheetid=604622
  767. [21:08] <@Roland> "Well, that's mighty rude of you to call us."
  768. [21:08] <!DM-sama> "Hey there, wondergirl. I assume it wasn't you who fucked with the arena setting right?" The man asks as he approaches Jaina and leans in uncomfortably close.
  769. [21:08] * Roland pipes up "That was me."
  770. [21:08] <!DM-sama> "...... Yes, it was m-..."
  771. [21:08] <Rachel> "I did too."
  772. [21:09] <!DM-sama> "Run." Jaina says under her breath.
  773. [21:09] <@Roland> "She's lying and trying to cover for me, it was all me."
  774. [21:09] <!DM-sama> "RUN!" She shouts as she whirls her staff and slams it into the ground.
  775. [21:09] <!DM-sama> The instructor is incased in a globe of force as his eyes widen, hands still in his pockets.
  776. [21:10] <!DM-sama> "Instructor Carim is very ill tempered. Please run!" Jaina insists.
  777. [21:10] <Zenaros> "No need to tell me thrice."
  778. [21:10] <!DM-sama> "I won't be able to hold him long but like this he'll be more concerned with punishing m-"
  779. [21:10] <@Roland> "But you're going to get in trouble for what we-I, for what I did."
  780. [21:10] <!DM-sama> [Lightning Bolt]
  781. [21:10] * Daven goes to push the Roland and Rachel. "Y-you heard her! Move!"
  782. [21:10] * Conny bows "It was nice to meet you madam Jaina" Then begins to run
  783. [21:11] * Zenaros stows his book and bursts into a sprint, his familiar coiled tightly.
  784. [21:11] <!DM-sama> A blast of magical energy instantly shatters the wall of force and passes through Jaina.
  785. [21:11] <!DM-sama> The bolt of electricity arcs towards the Maelstrom and is quickly absorbed by it.
  786. [21:11] <!DM-sama> "Lucky bitch.... I'm too strong to fight in here."
  787. [21:12] <!DM-sama> Jaina coughs violently as she tries to stand, electricity still arcing through her body.
  788. [21:12] <!DM-sama> You try to open the door but it's been wizardlocked.
  789. [21:12] <!DM-sama> The crazed instructor turns towards you.
  790. [21:12] * Roland slowly makes his way towards Jaina, never turning his back on the instructor
  791. [21:13] <!DM-sama> "Pop quiz brats." he says as he grins wickedly and steps on Jaina cutting off Roland.
  792. [21:13] * Roland glares
  793. [21:13] <!DM-sama> "How many schools of magic are there?"
  794. [21:14] <@Roland> "9"
  795. [21:14] <!DM-sama> "Wrong."
  796. [21:14] <!DM-sama> "You're out."
  797. [21:14] <Conny> "Eight"
  798. [21:14] <!DM-sama> "Wrong again half-pint."
  799. [21:15] <!DM-sama> "There's one...."
  800. [21:15] <!DM-sama> "The only school of magic is Evocation, everything else is just parlor tricks."
  801. [21:15] <!DM-sama> The instructor kicks Jaina towards you.
  802. [21:15] * Roland reaches for Jaina slowly, never taking his eyes off the instructors
  803. [21:16] <!DM-sama> "Since little miss goody goody there took the hit for you you're free to go."
  804. [21:16] <!DM-sama> "Get the fuck out of my tower, and next time don't enter the arena unless you intend to fight.... it's not a fucking toy."
  805. [21:17] <!DM-sama> The crazy eyes of the instructor send chills through you.
  806. [21:17] <!DM-sama> All of you together wouldn't even be like a fly to him.
  807. [21:17] <!DM-sama> And you can feel it.
  808. [21:17] <!DM-sama> Even with the Maelstrom eating away at his mana he could still easily overwhelm all of you.
  809. [21:17] <Daven> "Um sir...about the arena...maybe you should...not make the um...I mean the voices are screaming and.....never mind."
  810. [21:17] <Zenaros> "Noted."
  811. [21:17] <!DM-sama> "He flicks his wrist and the door swings open.
  812. [21:18] * Roland steps towards the door princess carrying Jaina and steps through the door and as he leaves says with venom, "There are 9. Universal, Abjuration, Alteration, Conjuration, Divination, Enchantment, Evocation, Illusion and Necromancy. Anyone as strong as you should recognize the strengths of the others, unless all that strength is just that of a mad bull."
  813. [21:18] <Zenaros> (are you wanna die.jpg)
  814. [21:18] <!DM-sama> "You have a very big mouth."
  815. [21:18] * Conny walks away before anything else can happen and ignores Roland.
  816. [21:19] <@Roland> "You're goddamn right." and continues walking away
  817. [21:19] <!DM-sama> "But I'd rather not feed that fucking thing more spells, so get out before I put my foot in it."
  818. [21:19] * Zenaros jots down in his tome, walking away.
  819. [21:20] <!DM-sama> "Girl... the bitchy looking one, not the half dead one. You're mana has a nice vibe.... don't waste your time learning card tricks with these clowns."
  820. [21:20] <Rachel> "Wasn't planning on it, I like it here."
  821. [21:20] <Rachel> "And for the record, despite what the idiot says? I fucked with the arena first."
  822. [21:20] <!DM-sama> "...."
  823. [21:21] * Rachel smiles. "As long as I learn to do what you do? I don't care how much you blast me."
  824. [21:21] <!DM-sama> With a wave of his hand those of you still in the room are blown out by a strong wind and the door is closed.
  825. [21:21] <!DM-sama> "Another time brat, I have something else to deal with." You hear from behind the door as you tumble down the hall.
  826. [21:22] * Roland breathes a sigh of relief and begins sprinting, looking for someone to give any sort of aid to Jaina
  827. [21:22] <!DM-sama> The tower begins to shake and you can feel a storm of mana spreading through it.
  828. [21:22] <!DM-sama> Even in the entryway the elements that were here before are growing chaotic.
  829. [21:23] * Conny watches as people tumble down the hall and shakes his head "I think it's time to leave this tower while still intact"
  830. [21:23] <!DM-sama> The pool of acid bubbles, the cracks in the walls are widening.
  831. [21:23] <Daven> "....So I guess that means get out?" He says as he tilts his head at the closed door. He looks to where Rolan runs to and screatches his head, however he spots the craks in the wall. "...I think that won't hold much for long...so lets go~" And with that he runs out of the tower before a flood of acid consumes them all
  832. [21:25] <!DM-sama> "The maelstrom..... is feeding." Jaina says weakly.
  833. [21:25] <!DM-sama> "Instructor Carim is containing it..."
  834. [21:25] <!DM-sama> "It's my fault..... the spell I cast to try and hold him back was a force effect.... the fact that it broke...."
  835. [21:26] * Zenaros looks over his tome and flips to the tower information, "... Conjuration Tower's got a Healing Spring."
  836. [21:26] <!DM-sama> "From the second I channeled mana it was feeding on me.... so he lured it to him instead."
  837. [21:26] <!DM-sama> "I'm still so naive...."
  838. [21:27] <@Roland> "Thanks Zen, hush Jaina, we're gonna get you to help."
  839. [21:27] <!DM-sama> Jaina seems to have fallen asleep as she goes quiet and begins breathing lightly as Roland carries her.
  840. [21:27] <Zenaros> "Don't mention it, Deathwish." Zen pokes back into his tome.
  841. [21:28] * Daven remains quiet, however a smile spreads on his face once he leaves the evocation tower as he looks around himself. "...Yeah, I've missed you all too." He murmurs before following the rest of the party to the conjuration tower.
  842. [21:28] <Daven> (And with that, I'm pass the fuck out. Night all)
  843. [21:28] <@Roland> "Deathwish huh? I like that. I like that a lot."
  844. [21:28] <@Roland> (and then that was my mage name forever)
  845. [21:28] <!DM-sama> Yeah, let's call it there for the night.
