- [2011-12-11 00:00:15] <Ironybot> Assuming that she actually can, of course, but I don't see why she wouldn't be able to.
- [2011-12-11 00:01:47] <Ironybot> Speaking of Hillevi being stupidly powerful, just how stupidly powerful is she? Could she, say, drop the air temperature in a target building to around -50C and hold it there for ten or twenty minutes? Could make a lot of jobs trivially easy if she can.
- [2011-12-11 00:03:41] <Ironybot> On the Reaper charms, I don't think that Einrik will be able to offer any new insights. If Lo Fang actually put billions into researching them, then thinking that Einrik will be able to run an analysis and come up with something new is likely laughably optimistic.
- [2011-12-11 00:04:00] <Falconis> well then
- [2011-12-11 00:04:36] <Falconis> man do you remember when she was angry with us
- [2011-12-11 00:04:42] <Falconis> and ice was forming everywhere
- [2011-12-11 00:04:49] <A_Mad_Oyster> she was mad as hell
- [2011-12-11 00:04:51] <TMIoverload> Not really sure. Einrik has LOTS of magic sensing
- [2011-12-11 00:04:56] <TheBeardiestBob> Ironybot: how big of a building are you thinking, and what time frame for the temp drop, and how visible would the magical effect be?
- [2011-12-11 00:04:59] <Falconis> and flippin Tartolo was getting knocked over
- [2011-12-11 00:05:02] <TheBeardiestBob> For the Hillevi freeze thing
- [2011-12-11 00:05:34] <Falconis> also Bob, any chance of Dual updates?
- [2011-12-11 00:07:01] <TheBeardiestBob> nope
- [2011-12-11 00:07:53] <Ironybot> The scenario I'm thinking of involves us surrounding a building and pinning the enemy there, then using Hillevi to soften them up through dropping the temperature and freezing them out in order to make the assault easier for us- so preferably a fast temp drop, over no more than a few minutes, visibility isn't too much of an issue as long as she doesn't pinpoint her own position, and building...
- [2011-12-11 00:07:53] <Ironybot> ...size could vary.
- [2011-12-11 00:09:07] <Ironybot> We do that and whoever's inside would basically have to produce a strong heat source of their own, freeze into death/unconsciousness, or come charging out into the teeth of our fire.
- [2011-12-11 00:09:17] <Abeo> Lo Fang did spend quite a lot on research but he also didn't tell us everything he knew about the charms.
- [2011-12-11 00:09:41] <Abeo> Einrik could easily detect something relevant to our own efforts with the charms
- [2011-12-11 00:10:31] <Abeo> Or maybe not. Doesn't hurt us to ask, and he might be happy to examine such a unique set of charms.
- [2011-12-11 00:12:58] <Abeo> Ironybot: I suppose another benefit to that tactic is that Armas could operate within the building with no problem
- [2011-12-11 00:13:13] <Ironybot> As could Hillevi herself, yes.
- [2011-12-11 00:14:10] <Ironybot> If it's just the two of them together at any point in a hostile area we should remember to consider having Hillevi just project a massive "everything is lethally cold" field around us.
- [2011-12-11 00:14:17] <Falconis> more Canadians
- [2011-12-11 00:14:18] <TheBeardiestBob> Well Ironybot, if you're talking something smaller than a five story building-yeah, she could do that.
- [2011-12-11 00:14:55] <TheBeardiestBob> Please do recall you are only protected from mundane cold.
- [2011-12-11 00:15:19] <Abeo> We still got reistance to supernatural cold though, right?
- [2011-12-11 00:15:34] <Guile> depending on how cold she can make it how quick, we could get a downburst
- [2011-12-11 00:15:39] <TheBeardiestBob> Yeah, but that's not the same as being fully protected from it. It's just lessened negative effect.
- [2011-12-11 00:15:44] <Ironybot> ...what? I thought that our cold resistance "matches our perceptual resistance", meaning that if we can't feel it then it can't hurt us- and we never felt Hillevi's very first supernatural cold attack.
- [2011-12-11 00:16:11] <Grail> That was prior to the Ogrimmir deal
- [2011-12-11 00:16:15] <Guile> cold turns into wind, so Hillevi is basically feeding power to Sake
- [2011-12-11 00:16:18] <Abeo> We did get punched by one of the brothers without getting frozen.
- [2011-12-11 00:16:28] <Ironybot> Yes, but it was definitely a supernatural cold effect and we definitely didn't feel it.
- [2011-12-11 00:16:34] <Abeo> Though it was sparring strength only
- [2011-12-11 00:16:45] <Grail> Though Ogrimmir described us as being difficult to deal with for cold manipulators
- [2011-12-11 00:16:50] <Guile> Irony- we didnt feel Hillevi's first attack, but it turned out guts to ice. we were definitely hurt
- [2011-12-11 00:17:05] <Grail> And I'd argue if HE is saying we'd be difficult to deal with it must be at least a substantial resistance.
- [2011-12-11 00:17:08] <Ironybot> Hillevi freezing the air+Sake making the cold air move around quickly could freeze people much faster than Hillevi's efforts alone.
- [2011-12-11 00:17:32] <TheBeardiestBob> Ironybot: You didn't feel it because it froze your nerves before the pain signal could be sent.
- [2011-12-11 00:17:39] <Abeo> Sake+SB could do that after Og's training maybe
- [2011-12-11 00:17:42] <Falconis> wow
- [2011-12-11 00:17:45] <Ironybot> Ah. So no one ever feels that attack?
- [2011-12-11 00:17:45] <Guile> I doubt we'd get a true downburst just from those two; although if we did, its basically a tornado on demand
- [2011-12-11 00:17:46] <Falconis> sh eis a beast
- [2011-12-11 00:17:50] <Falconis> she is a beast
- [2011-12-11 00:18:04] <TheBeardiestBob> You could feel it if you were the size of a house
- [2011-12-11 00:18:09] <TheBeardiestBob> or as hot as molten metal
- [2011-12-11 00:18:20] <Grail> Maybe we can't resist Hillevi going all out with her power
- [2011-12-11 00:18:22] <Ironybot> Okay, "no one ever" was sloppy wording, my apologies.
- [2011-12-11 00:18:57] <Grail> But if Ogrimmir's estimation holds any weight we should be able to ablate people like the twins to some effect
- [2011-12-11 00:19:24] <Guile> we dont do very well against magical cold. 10% cut is what I seem to remember bob saying
- [2011-12-11 00:19:33] <TheBeardiestBob> Also-Hillevi spent the majority of her time watching tv watching drama flicks-when she's lived a sheltered life. They have not helped her disposition to Camella, as they actively encouraged cattiness.
- [2011-12-11 00:19:37] <TheBeardiestBob> An FYI
- [2011-12-11 00:19:44] <Abeo> oh god
- [2011-12-11 00:19:48] <Ironybot> So the obvious question here is, how good is our cold resistance right now when we face supernatural cold attacks?
- [2011-12-11 00:19:55] <Guile> Good lord. We need to act fast! "Hillevi! Life is not like daytime soaps!"
- [2011-12-11 00:20:01] <TheBeardiestBob> Depends on the source
- [2011-12-11 00:20:12] <Grail> Well maybe the twins is generous
- [2011-12-11 00:20:20] <Abeo> quick, show her anime so that she feels the only valid approach to romantic rivalries is to be a doormat and just do your best for them!
- [2011-12-11 00:20:30] <Guile> on the other hand... wow, we could mold her into something totally bizarre
- [2011-12-11 00:20:34] <Grail> Anyone NOT from one of the top tier ice manipulation families should be fair game.
- [2011-12-11 00:20:35] <Abeo> avoid the ones where they go crazy and kill everyone obviously
- [2011-12-11 00:20:45] <Grail> For at least partial resistance.
- [2011-12-11 00:20:47] <Ironybot> And speaking of this cold resistance... it's supernatural, right? But it's not tied to our bloodline. Nor is our Einherjar sensing. What part of us are those magical abilities anchored in?
- [2011-12-11 00:20:47] <Guile> where she thinks real life is like daytime tv
- [2011-12-11 00:21:18] <Guile> if its a gift from Og, maybe our soul like a wizard contract?
- [2011-12-11 00:21:42] <TheBeardiestBob> The cold resistance was tied to your Summer line and your flesh manipulation, interestingly enough. A passive effect of your bloodline is that it now warps cells to better suit reduced temperatures when encountered.
- [2011-12-11 00:21:50] <Guile> then we send her to tvtropes.org and convince her some wizard wrote down all the rules by which life happens
- [2011-12-11 00:21:53] <Abeo> It would be neat if at some point we got the resistance hooked up to our einhar killing as well
- [2011-12-11 00:22:23] <Abeo> probably impossible though
- [2011-12-11 00:24:20] <Shot__> >tvtropes
- [2011-12-11 00:24:38] <Shot__> I searched for Golem Quest. I'm not sure if I should be happy or sad at the lack of an entry.
- [2011-12-11 00:25:25] <Abeo> That... would be an interesting entry, considering how much of the shenanagins were deliberate trope use
- [2011-12-11 00:25:26] <Guile> Golemquest would basically include EVERY trope
- [2011-12-11 00:25:36] <Ironybot> So our cold resistance is at this point an effect reactively produced by our physical body?
- [2011-12-11 00:25:45] <TheBeardiestBob> that is correct Ironybot
- [2011-12-11 00:26:08] <TheBeardiestBob> in the broadest sense, like how the Veyron somewhat shifts body configeration based on speed
- [2011-12-11 00:26:24] <Ironybot> I believe I have missed some information or a reference there.
- [2011-12-11 00:26:27] <Abeo> Hey Bob, do powerful souls naturally ablate magical attacks?
- [2011-12-11 00:26:58] <Abeo> To the body I mean, without specific soul-based body enhancment
- [2011-12-11 00:27:28] <Abeo> Like, a physical being has a really powerful soul, are magical attacks on their body less effective? (I suck at phrasing things)
- [2011-12-11 00:27:46] <Ironybot> Anyway, if our cold resistance is a reactive power rather than a fully passive one- does it drain our Summer powers when we use it? If we encounter seriously cold temperature and it has to warp all our cells for maxed out cold resistance in order to protect us, how much power will we burn to accomplish and maintain that- and will the effect reverse itself later, and if so, will that take...
- [2011-12-11 00:27:46] <Ironybot> ...power as well?
- [2011-12-11 00:28:03] <Ironybot> Sorry to stack questions all on top of one another like that.
- [2011-12-11 00:30:53] <Grail> Reactive magic is more powerful than active magic, I recall that much.
- [2011-12-11 00:31:30] <TheBeardiestBob> It only takes power to convert, and it's only got three variants, including neutral
- [2011-12-11 00:31:35] <TheBeardiestBob> and converting back takes power
- [2011-12-11 00:31:53] <TheBeardiestBob> but the conversion's about as energy consuming as healing the missing skin on one hand
- [2011-12-11 00:34:43] <Ironybot> Three variants- that it can tune our cells to? Neutral, cold resisting, but what is the third? I'd guess heat resisting but we don't actually have a heat resistance power right now... unless our inability to perceive heat properly is an actual power, bound up with this one?
- [2011-12-11 00:35:06] <Abeo> Maybe neutral, mundane, magic?
- [2011-12-11 00:37:02] <Grail> Isn't Armas resistant to heat on the mundane level?
- [2011-12-11 00:37:29] <Abeo> It'd be cool if his summer flesh "ate" heat
- [2011-12-11 00:37:58] <Ironybot> That was my impression, but it's a pretty fucked up thing to have on the mundane level, not being able to perceive being heated or frozen even up to the point of injury. Magic is a simpler explanation.
- [2011-12-11 00:38:59] <Abeo> In fact, we need to learn to eat fire
- [2011-12-11 00:40:02] <Grail> I bet Armin picked up a lot of circus tricks for shits and giggles

- [2011-12-11 01:04:57] <TheBeardiestBob> Ironybot: to the three states question, it's two varying forms of cold resistant, depending on severity. And the Summer line would need a more practiced Flesh manipulator commanding it to 'eat' the cold-but it's possible in the future.
- [2011-12-11 01:05:59] <Ironybot> Ah. The more severe cold resistant state requires more energy to assume, or has some other disadvantage to make it an undesirable default, I presume?
- [2011-12-11 01:10:24] <TMIoverload> Bob, Mad whatever is back to Amen is useful
- [2011-12-11 01:10:32] <TMIoverload> Just thought you should know
- [2011-12-11 01:11:29] <Abeo> Can't we just agree that Amen is "useful"?
- [2011-12-11 01:11:51] <Grail> We can never agree on anything
- [2011-12-11 01:11:55] <Grail> No matter how reasonable
- [2011-12-11 01:11:57] <Grail> So no
- [2011-12-11 01:12:00] <A_Mad_Oyster> But Amen IS useful :<
- [2011-12-11 01:12:00] <Grail> No we cannot
- [2011-12-11 01:13:08] <Abeo> Like I said, "useful"
- [2011-12-11 01:13:21] <Abeo> Technically, yes, we can use him to our benefit
- [2011-12-11 01:13:29] <Abeo> But generally I would advise against it
- [2011-12-11 01:13:40] <Abeo> Not because it is too risky, though.
- [2011-12-11 01:14:10] <Abeo> No, I would LOVE to be able to make that claim. The real reason is that we don't KNOW how dangerous any use of him is to us
- [2011-12-11 01:14:25] <Abeo> We can't make reasonable risk/reward choices when it comes to Amen

- [2011-12-11 01:15:29] <A_Mad_Oyster> HEY WUTEN, A DISTRACTION
- [2011-12-11 01:18:51] <Abeo> Honestly, if we were handed a guaranteed "destroy Amen utterly" button in the quest, I'd vote for pressing it. Probably
- [2011-12-11 01:18:56] <Guile> We arent dead yet! That's... LIKE winning, right?
- [2011-12-11 01:19:01] <Abeo> save for that vamp clan, I'd totally press it
- [2011-12-11 01:19:24] <Abeo> don't we have like, 8 people who want to kill us that are more powerful than ourselves?
- [2011-12-11 01:19:53] <Ironybot> Only eight?
- [2011-12-11 01:19:57] <Abeo> rather, agencies that either want to, or will if we don't do what they say
- [2011-12-11 01:20:01] <Abeo> heh
- [2011-12-11 01:20:21] <Abeo> I meant that we'd pissed off directly
- [2011-12-11 01:20:22] <Ironybot> As Shadowbro so aptly noted, to seek power is to make enemies.
- [2011-12-11 01:21:26] <Guile> sometimes it feels like living Armas's life is to make enemies
- [2011-12-11 01:22:07] <A_Mad_Oyster> Make enemies? You mean 'piss everyone off'
- [2011-12-11 01:22:44] <Abeo> I want Big Crazy to come back
- [2011-12-11 01:22:57] <Abeo> Cause he'll be all showing off his regeneration (he gets that from the hydra right?)
- [2011-12-11 01:23:12] <Abeo> And then we'll be all "Oh yeah, we figured that our AGES ago"
- [2011-12-11 01:24:27] <TMIoverload> How good is Big's Regen? Lammy level or is it better?
- [2011-12-11 01:24:39] <Guile> Better than ours, I'd bet that much
- [2011-12-11 01:24:56] <Guile> although the Rom trick is on a whole other level
- [2011-12-11 01:25:41] <Abeo> Didn't we regrow, like, half our torso and an arm in under a second?
- [2011-12-11 01:25:46] <Ironybot> Yes.
- [2011-12-11 01:25:57] <A_Mad_Oyster> Cost us alot though
- [2011-12-11 01:26:04] <A_Mad_Oyster> We went to the negatives

- [2011-12-11 01:28:00] <Guile> so something with multiple attacks, maybe?
- [2011-12-11 01:28:08] <BUTTZ> I wonder what the price of going into negatives is
- [2011-12-11 01:28:17] <Grail> We went into the negatives from the building
- [2011-12-11 01:28:27] <Guile> we devour our muscles and any fats we have left?
- [2011-12-11 01:28:29] <Grail> Not the mostly deflected dragon fireball
- [2011-12-11 01:28:34] <Grail> Massive hunger
- [2011-12-11 01:28:45] <Arknap> morning
- [2011-12-11 01:29:04] <Guile> ah, the 'so hungry I could eat a hobo' feeling is back
- [2011-12-11 01:31:32] <Abeo> I could eat a hobo
- [2011-12-11 01:32:06] <A_Mad_Oyster> ..
- [2011-12-11 01:32:08] <A_Mad_Oyster> ...
- [2011-12-11 01:32:22] <TMIoverload> You mean you could eat a hobo out Abeo
- [2011-12-11 01:32:26] <Ironybot> Armas can really only eat about half a hobo in one sitting, as I understand it.
- [2011-12-11 01:32:36] <Abeo> I could! I live in the hoboiest area of my city. Could get a hobo in 10 minutes, easy
- [2011-12-11 01:32:38] <A_Mad_Oyster> This is so wrong
- [2011-12-11 01:32:42] <A_Mad_Oyster> Yet so right at the same time
- [2011-12-11 01:32:52] <Grail> We could work our way up to eating a full hobo
- [2011-12-11 01:32:58] <Grail> Armas just needs to train
- [2011-12-11 01:33:02] <Guile> he could before, irony. Now he has that super-slimming advanced Whaitiri diet
- [2011-12-11 01:33:08] <Grail> Cue a rocky montage of cannibalism.
- [2011-12-11 01:33:14] <Guile> man, THATs the way to bring Whaitiri into mainstream
- [2011-12-11 01:33:15] <Abeo> With better mastery of flesh manipulation, we might be able to eat people liek Alex Mercer
- [2011-12-11 01:33:16] <Guile> diet pills
- [2011-12-11 01:33:21] <Guile> with human flesh inside
- [2011-12-11 01:33:23] <A_Mad_Oyster> I wonder if there's an Eat-A-Hobo Contest
- [2011-12-11 01:33:29] <TheBeardiestBob> Ironybot is... again, correct.
- [2011-12-11 01:33:41] <Abeo> Just punch some dude through the chest and absorb their delivious fleshstuffs

- [2011-12-11 01:34:10] <Grail> Bakbak could probably help us with that
- [2011-12-11 01:34:12] <A_Mad_Oyster> AND HAS A LEVEL 9 R TRAIT
- [2011-12-11 01:34:16] <Grail> The god is literally all mouths
- [2011-12-11 01:34:25] <Abeo> Even the lips?
- [2011-12-11 01:34:38] <Grail> Mouthception
- [2011-12-11 01:35:19] <Grail> Mouths within mouths, like a moray eel.
- [2011-12-11 01:35:38] <Grail> Or an Alien
- [2011-12-11 01:37:57] <Ironybot> Mahuika being brought up earlier makes me wonder... could Armas have ended up with any of the Maori deities being his patron, or none of them, instead of becoming a Whaitiri-souled cannibal man?
- [2011-12-11 01:38:24] <Ironybot> How different might our path have been?
- [2011-12-11 01:38:37] <Grail> I could see many different paths for Armas
- [2011-12-11 01:38:47] <Grail> I originally saw him a lot differently honestly
- [2011-12-11 01:38:49] <TheBeardiestBob> Yeah actually, it was dependent on who you bested, and the previous update post id. I had arbitrarily made up a little sheet.
- [2011-12-11 01:39:12] <Grail> He seemed to be aiming for the archetypal hunter.
- [2011-12-11 01:39:30] <Abeo> So basically whichever diety was most interested in us plus a bit of randomness?
- [2011-12-11 01:39:37] <TheBeardiestBob> Yeah
- [2011-12-11 01:39:56] <Abeo> I'm interested in what would have happened if we'd gone with that Summer court representative instead of Og
- [2011-12-11 01:40:09] <TheBeardiestBob> ...Haha.
- [2011-12-11 01:40:45] <Guile> it just occurred to me - either the Summer rep couldnt have saved us, or Og is one of the gods that can lie
- [2011-12-11 01:41:09] <A_Mad_Oyster> http://www.livestream.com/wuten
- [2011-12-11 01:41:13] <TheBeardiestBob> Long story short, I'm about 70% sure you'd be working for the Fire Giants and actively trying to bring about Ragnarok now, half-convinced it was also the Rapture and thus 'for the greater good' because of a whole mess of trickery on Loki's part.

- [2011-12-11 01:41:32] <Abeo> That would have been amazing
- [2011-12-11 01:41:46] <TMIoverload> I doubt the posters would think we were working for the greater good
- [2011-12-11 01:41:47] <Grail> Instead Armas is faffing about
- [2011-12-11 01:41:48] <Grail> Being a dick
- [2011-12-11 01:41:58] <Abeo> A win for us, right guys?
- [2011-12-11 01:42:08] <Grail> PreYeah.
- [2011-12-11 01:42:33] <Grail> Eh didn't delete that entirely, eh whatever.
- [2011-12-11 01:42:35] <Abeo> Funny how we ended up killing Odin's champions anyway
- [2011-12-11 01:43:05] <Guile> no matter what we do, Odin loses
- [2011-12-11 01:43:11] <Guile> or wins
- [2011-12-11 01:43:18] <Grail> It doesn't really seem like he's losing
- [2011-12-11 01:43:23] <Guile> mortal einher -> spirit einher
- [2011-12-11 01:43:30] <Grail> Yep
- [2011-12-11 01:43:48] <TMIoverload> Pretty sure Odin's side is supposed to come out barely winning ragnarok
- [2011-12-11 01:43:48] <Guile> and I still havent entirely given up the idea of working for Odin despite killing his dudes
- [2011-12-11 01:44:07] <Guile> That mightve been before he worked that trick with mercs who love war
- [2011-12-11 01:44:12] <Grail> I don't see how we're messing with him really
- [2011-12-11 01:44:14] <Guile> and rocked the face off the Finnish pantheon
- [2011-12-11 01:44:16] <Abeo> Sure, supposed to, doesn't mean they would
- [2011-12-11 01:44:39] <Grail> Aside from working for someone who doesn't like his dudes we're ultimately helping him
- [2011-12-11 01:44:47] <Grail> Contributing to his son's belief source
- [2011-12-11 01:45:11] <Grail> And inadvertently helping his dudes sometimes

- [2011-12-11 01:53:37] <Ironybot> Thank you.
- [2011-12-11 01:54:32] <Wutenheimer> http://www.livestream.com/wuten MY LITTLE PONY EP 10
- [2011-12-11 01:54:41] <Guile> have everyone bring an einher head like they're bribing the bouncer to let them into a fancy club
- [2011-12-11 01:55:06] <Abeo> But then, if we had a shitload of Og questions all at once we'd probably use them for stupid shit
- [2011-12-11 01:55:35] <Grail> I don't know I think we have one or two stored questions.
- [2011-12-11 01:55:46] <Abeo> do we?
- [2011-12-11 01:55:58] <Guile> No, only important questions allowed. Og... boxers or briefs?
- [2011-12-11 01:56:11] <Ironybot> He won't answer questions about himself.
- [2011-12-11 01:56:20] <Ironybot> That is much too personal.
- [2011-12-11 01:56:34] <Guile> true, all too true
- [2011-12-11 01:56:34] <Wutenheimer> ask og what the best pony is
- [2011-12-11 01:56:36] <Grail> How to get the special bullet for IT, and how to fix our eye and acquire the world eye ( can probably get them both in one go).
- [2011-12-11 01:56:41] <Wutenheimer> it'll be fluttershy, every time
- [2011-12-11 01:56:59] <Ironybot> I thought we could get the world eye from the Laib Olmai?
- [2011-12-11 01:57:11] <Grail> We totally can
- [2011-12-11 01:57:33] <Grail> It depends on if you'd prefer them and Laib to handle it or Ogrimmir
- [2011-12-11 01:57:33] <Ironybot> We could ask him how to rewrite Amen's personality with a copy of us.
- [2011-12-11 01:57:55] <Grail> And in the hypothetical situation where we have a bunch of Og questions I'm inclined to save their favor
- [2011-12-11 01:58:28] <Grail> They could probably help us acquire a massively powerful spirit animal with unique effects or something.
- [2011-12-11 01:59:37] <Grail> Other questions would perhaps be how to improve our ability to learn.
- [2011-12-11 02:00:17] <Ironybot> Lo Fang should be able to teach us chakra techniques for that.
- [2011-12-11 02:00:34] <Ironybot> Chakra should be able to enhance any of the mind, body, and soul.
- [2011-12-11 02:01:10] <Grail> What else would you propose?
- [2011-12-11 02:01:40] <Grail> How to use a Darkening bloodline in a way that would get us a mainline to Soullessness and avoid locking out the option?
- [2011-12-11 02:02:00] <Ironybot> I'm... not sure. How to get the soul bomb out of us is tempting, but could backfire lethally.
- [2011-12-11 02:02:12] <BUTTZ> I still want to ask for the Dictator in a Crate Kit
- [2011-12-11 02:03:08] <Ironybot> I don't understand the mechanics of the three routes to immortality well enough to pursue them, at the moment. The titles "soulless" and "mindless" seem terribly ominous.
- [2011-12-11 02:03:26] <Grail> Deathless does sound much better doesn't it?
- [2011-12-11 02:03:32] <Guile> theres always 'how to die and still keep Amen bound', even if I think SB should be able to keep control of the Eye (and thus Sisuthros's blood) for the few seconds we're gone
- [2011-12-11 02:03:54] <Grail> Well I can try to explain, but first how much do you know?
- [2011-12-11 02:04:04] <Ironybot> Yes, deathless sounds far better. With soulless immortality I have to wonder... but so much of our power is based in our soul! Where would all that go?
- [2011-12-11 02:04:17] <BUTTZ> Wherever we keep the soul
- [2011-12-11 02:04:36] <BUTTZ> What's Tartalo's method?
- [2011-12-11 02:04:43] <Guile> einrik is working on soullessness, isnt he?
- [2011-12-11 02:04:46] <Grail> Deathless I believe
- [2011-12-11 02:04:51] <BUTTZ> Souless because he bet it or something?
- [2011-12-11 02:04:52] <Guile> Tartalo's soul got stuffed in the Dark somehow
- [2011-12-11 02:05:12] <Arkeus> Einrik is soulless
- [2011-12-11 02:05:14] <Grail> His soul is stored in the Dark, preventing it from harm, but for some reason I recall him as being Deathless
- [2011-12-11 02:05:14] <BUTTZ> Deathless because he's too stubborn, and his soul isn't in his body
- [2011-12-11 02:05:22] <Arkeus> At leas,t latest iu heard from bob was that
- [2011-12-11 02:05:42] <Arkeus> And my understanding is the 'less' only means the part in question can't be killed
- [2011-12-11 02:05:44] <Grail> Einrik could, a while ago, render himself temporarily Deathless
- [2011-12-11 02:05:53] <Arkeus> Grail: he was fucking with us
- [2011-12-11 02:06:11] <Grail> Who the what now?
- [2011-12-11 02:06:30] <Arkeus> Einrik was hiding he actually was going soulless in a way that could look like deathless
- [2011-12-11 02:06:38] <Arkeus> as being soulless is REALLY rare
- [2011-12-11 02:07:13] <TheBeardiestBob> Einrik calls it Deathless. He knows it's Soulless. He doesn't want to spread the info about.
- [2011-12-11 02:07:24] <Arkeus> ^
- [2011-12-11 02:07:37] <Ironybot> Oh, human ability to lie, what can't you do?
- [2011-12-11 02:07:42] <Grail> So is it permanent Soullessness?
- [2011-12-11 02:07:42] <Arkeus> <Ironybot> I don't understand the mechanics of the three routes to immortality well enough to pursue them, at the moment. The titles "soulless" and "mindless" seem terribly ominous. <= can you explain it to Ironybot?
- [2011-12-11 02:07:46] <Grail> Or temporary?
- [2011-12-11 02:07:49] <Arkeus> i am always worried i interpret it badly
- [2011-12-11 02:08:09] <TheBeardiestBob> No, because I'm going to sleep. Night all

- [2011-12-11 02:08:37] <Abeo> So yeah, what were people thinking of asking for from Lo Fang, in terms of training?
- [2011-12-11 02:08:54] <Ironybot> How to learn faster is my very first question.
- [2011-12-11 02:08:59] <Arkeus> Well, the thing is, we need to get normal lessons first
- [2011-12-11 02:09:05] <Arkeus> Ironybot: for Ogrimmir?
- [2011-12-11 02:09:09] <Arkeus> Ogrimir?
- [2011-12-11 02:09:11] <Ironybot> No, for Lo Fang.
- [2011-12-11 02:09:19] <Abeo> I was thinking along the same lines
- [2011-12-11 02:09:21] <Grail> That would make sense
- [2011-12-11 02:09:32] <Arkeus> He cna teach that?
- [2011-12-11 02:09:37] <Arkeus> that would be VERY good
- [2011-12-11 02:09:38] <Ironybot> He should be able to teach us mental improvement chakra techniques, for memory, comprehension, and so forth.
- [2011-12-11 02:09:50] <Abeo> He seems to be able to process information way faster than a normal human should be able to
- [2011-12-11 02:10:00] <Arkeus> though i honestly would prefer something like 'learning to protect our mind from thinking too swiftly'
- [2011-12-11 02:10:12] <Ironybot> After that, I want to get a lot of lecture on soul and chakra theory, which we'll be able to understand a lot better with our new technique- and hopefully be able to use as a springboard for our own personal experimentation with non-chakra soul powers.
- [2011-12-11 02:10:36] <Abeo> I'd rather not mention anything soul-related to Lo Fang
- [2011-12-11 02:10:39] <Arkeus> Also, don't forget we should try to maximize what we learn from lo fang with Einrik's guy
- [2011-12-11 02:10:48] <Arkeus> learn more basic things with ito and him first
- [2011-12-11 02:10:57] <Arkeus> as Lo fang is very limited in time
- [2011-12-11 02:11:04] <Abeo> Currently he seems to have suspicions about us, and I'd rather not confirm them
- [2011-12-11 02:11:22] <Ironybot> His suspicions will be confirmed as soon as he sees us in person, I suspect.
- [2011-12-11 02:11:39] <Arkeus> unless we have super lurk by then
- [2011-12-11 02:11:46] <Grail> We do have a week
- [2011-12-11 02:11:48] <Arkeus> just a normal human here
- [2011-12-11 02:11:55] <Abeo> That'd be hilarious
- [2011-12-11 02:12:17] <Grail> Though he knows us to be a soul binder of some sort
- [2011-12-11 02:12:27] <Arkeus> he suspects us
- [2011-12-11 02:12:30] <Grail> So there's not point in going full on human disguised soul
- [2011-12-11 02:12:32] <Abeo> I'm still in favour of borders, but if super lurk comes up first, I wont complain if we get it
- [2011-12-11 02:12:41] <Grail> Then he'll know something entirely different
- [2011-12-11 02:13:15] <Abeo> Yeah, that we're awesome
- [2011-12-11 02:13:47] <Grail> The sheer trickery you can pull with Darkening is pretty amazing
- [2011-12-11 02:14:04] <Grail> Manipulating your soul to appear as something entirely different.
- [2011-12-11 02:14:21] <Abeo> Actually I am surprised he didn't push further when we claimed to have deactivated the Reaper death-bomb thingy. Cause we weren't anywhere nearby he should have asked "how" but he didn't
- [2011-12-11 02:15:01] <Abeo> So yeah, he probably does think us some variety of soul-binder
- [2011-12-11 02:15:50] <Grail> Irony did you ever ask Bob about the benefits of spirit animals to a Soul Manipulator?
- [2011-12-11 02:16:11] <Abeo> We could use a wind/water/shadow manipulator soul disguise. Would fit our story for how we blew up the dock
- [2011-12-11 02:16:37] <Wutenheimer> >yfw the new mlp is about giving
- [2011-12-11 02:16:40] <Grail> That would be beneficial
- [2011-12-11 02:16:46] <Wutenheimer> >just before christmas
- [2011-12-11 02:16:53] <Ironybot> I did not, so far as I recall. I do remember that the Laib Olmai use their soul sculpting to modify their own spirit animals and gain additional power thereby.
- [2011-12-11 02:16:54] <Grail> And we could hide Shadowbro's existence
- [2011-12-11 02:17:03] <Grail> I asked a bit
- [2011-12-11 02:17:19] <Grail> The straight answer is they can, but never learned specifically how.

- [2011-12-11 02:19:27] <Arkeus> <Grail> The straight answer is they can, but never learned specifically how. <= what?
- [2011-12-11 02:19:34] <Arkeus> i am not sure i understand
- [2011-12-11 02:19:43] <Wutenheimer> so, in all that fail
- [2011-12-11 02:19:51] <Wutenheimer> i got 1 achievement
- [2011-12-11 02:19:52] <Arkeus> Abeo: we would also be able to hid at least two other people with us
- [2011-12-11 02:19:54] <Ironybot> I believe we could hide spirit animals, yes. As well as concealing Shadowbro and any other facets of our own soul that we consider undesirable

- [2011-12-11 02:20:10] <Arkeus> and with super-lurk, it would be MUCH easier
- [2011-12-11 02:20:16] <Arkeus> than with lurk
- [2011-12-11 02:20:18] <Arkeus> oh right
- [2011-12-11 02:20:21] <Grail> Irony was asking at some point whether or not spirit animals were viable to a soul manipulator
- [2011-12-11 02:20:22] <Abeo> that is awesome. we'd be able to hide evidence of our illegal soul tampering
- [2011-12-11 02:20:44] <Grail> As our soul manipulation allows us to acquire spirit animal level powers without actually using one
- [2011-12-11 02:20:52] <Arkeus> [10-12 | 23:46:49] <TheBeardiestBob> The Darkening Bloodline derivative would give you the most potent defenses for keeping any potential soul consumption and self-soul grafting hidden.
- [2011-12-11 02:20:58] <Arkeus> [10-12 | 23:46:53] <TheBeardiestBob> That much is accurate
- [2011-12-11 02:21:07] <Arkeus> [10-12 | 23:47:15] <MrTT> the most potent, yes... my question is, would it potent ENOUGH
- [2011-12-11 02:21:13] <Arkeus> [10-12 | 23:47:49] <TheBeardiestBob> MrT: Enough relative to what? If you're talking about absolutes, nothing's absolute.
- [2011-12-11 02:21:19] <Arkeus> [10-12 | 23:48:12] <MrTT> @bob: Enough to prevent us being caught eating souls and being executed by ruling dragons for it
- [2011-12-11 02:21:21] <Grail> At least I think that was the gist of the question
- [2011-12-11 02:21:25] <Abeo> I'm guessing we'd be tricking the majority of gods at that point
- [2011-12-11 02:21:27] <Arkeus> [10-12 | 23:48:35] <TheBeardiestBob> MrTT: If you had enough stored soul you could sufficiently power it when 'called' on it: Yes
- [2011-12-11 02:21:33] <Arkeus> [10-12 | 23:48:54] <TheBeardiestBob> so actually being MORE evil would make it sufficiently powerful to hide you even from ruling dragons directly looking at you
- [2011-12-11 02:21:36] <Arkeus> [10-12 | 23:49:05] <TheBeardiestBob> and TRYING to pierce your disguise
- [2011-12-11 02:21:43] <Ironybot> Ah, I believe I have an answer to whether spirit animals are worthwhile given our soul manipulation powers, although not a direct one. The answer is "yes, they are".
- [2011-12-11 02:21:45] <Abeo> but then "gods" aren't exactly a homogenous bunch
- [2011-12-11 02:22:18] <Arkeus> Ironybot: oh?
- [2011-12-11 02:22:31] <Ironybot> See, even if we can make our own soul look like whatever we want, we're still limited by its soul volume. Getting spirit animals is effectively additional soul volume to play with, as far as I can tell, meaning that we could stack more abilities onto ourselves.
- [2011-12-11 02:23:00] <Arkeus> not sure what you mean
- [2011-12-11 02:23:02] <Abeo> plus if we figure out that "soul engine" trick....
- [2011-12-11 02:23:11] <Arkeus> you mean we'd have to hide our osul volume?
- [2011-12-11 02:23:12] <Ironybot> Also, if we sculpt our soul to be optimized at one thing, then unless we're a grandmaster-tier soul sculptor we'd be risking de-optimizing ourselves in other areas.
- [2011-12-11 02:23:17] <Arkeus> or we'd need bigger soul volume.?
- [2011-12-11 02:23:26] <Abeo> might also be able to graft souls directly into ourselves with enough tinkering
- [2011-12-11 02:23:27] <Arkeus> Ironybot: indeed
- [2011-12-11 02:23:47] <Arkeus> Also, laib olmai use spirit animal work around as they can't self soul sculpt
- [2011-12-11 02:23:59] <Arkeus> so they use spirit animals to have work arounds effects
- [2011-12-11 02:24:06] <Grail> We're aware
- [2011-12-11 02:24:13] <Ironybot> Yes, we brought that up already in this very conversation.
- [2011-12-11 02:24:15] <Arkeus> Grail: not everyone is
- [2011-12-11 02:24:18] <Arkeus> oh?
- [2011-12-11 02:24:19] <Arkeus> huh
- [2011-12-11 02:24:22] <Grail> Everyone in this conversation is
- [2011-12-11 02:24:26] <Arkeus> Sorry then
- [2011-12-11 02:24:58] <Arkeus> Btw, if we do the engine in our eye
- [2011-12-11 02:25:03] <Grail> In short I think you pretty much have the right idea and I was suspecting as much myself.
- [2011-12-11 02:25:09] <Arkeus> we could feed power to whaitiri if we want
- [2011-12-11 02:25:11] <BUTTZ> I'm not aware!
- [2011-12-11 02:25:19] <Arkeus> you are high?
- [2011-12-11 02:25:20] <Ironybot> Anyway, basically spirit animals are good because even if we can sculpt ourselves, it's not always a good idea to do so and additional soul volume to play with is good.
- [2011-12-11 02:25:20] <BUTTZ> (actually I'm not in the conversation either)
- [2011-12-11 02:25:31] <Abeo> I love how feding power to Whaitiri empowers ourself as well
- [2011-12-11 02:25:46] <Arkeus> Ironybot: the first part is at least true i think
- [2011-12-11 02:25:52] <Arkeus> second part, i am unsure
- [2011-12-11 02:26:00] <Abeo> why would more soul be bad?
- [2011-12-11 02:26:04] <Ironybot> What, "additional soul volume to play with is good"?
- [2011-12-11 02:26:04] <Arkeus> (the it counts as additional soul volume)
- [2011-12-11 02:26:11] <Abeo> especially if we go super lurk and can hide it
- [2011-12-11 02:26:14] <Arkeus> that it counts as additional
- [2011-12-11 02:26:21] <Grail> I'm mostly intrigued at Bob's mention of what mythical level spirit animals do.
- [2011-12-11 02:26:30] <Arkeus> he made a mention?
- [2011-12-11 02:26:31] <Ironybot> It doesn't count as OUR soul volume, as far as I know, but it's soul volume which will be dedicated to enhancing us- which is still good.
- [2011-12-11 02:26:32] <Arkeus> where?
- [2011-12-11 02:26:38] <Grail> Some time ago
- [2011-12-11 02:26:46] <Arkeus> oh, not today
- [2011-12-11 02:26:49] <Grail> As in weeks ago, so far my memory doesn't stretch that far.
- [2011-12-11 02:27:06] <Arkeus> as far as i know, he only talked about the limits, not their powers
- [2011-12-11 02:27:13] <Grail> At least with the clarity to accurately quote or paraphrase.
- [2011-12-11 02:27:47] <Grail> But I believe the gist of it was they provided something like multiple effects or special tricks inherit to them.
- [2011-12-11 02:28:18] <Ironybot> Hey, a thought. If we get soulless immortality, Shadowbro logically gets it too since he's part of our soul, right? But... the big reason he's vulnerable is that he's made of soul. How can someone attack his body, after all?
- [2011-12-11 02:28:33] <Ironybot> So he'd be virtually invincible except to mental assaults.
- [2011-12-11 02:28:37] <Arkeus> someone could attack his 'shadow' i think
- [2011-12-11 02:28:47] <Arkeus> but, yes, that was one reason i wanted to go four soulless
- [2011-12-11 02:28:53] <Arkeus> for
- [2011-12-11 02:29:15] <Arkeus> I also thought that if we go for soulless, SB could try for Mindless
- [2011-12-11 02:29:16] <Grail> I'd hope it work that way, otherwise I'm at a loss for how he could attain immortality himself.
- [2011-12-11 02:29:19] <Arkeus> but he has no 'blood'
- [2011-12-11 02:29:20] <Arkeus> :-(
- [2011-12-11 02:29:35] <Wutenheimer> bout damn time larro figured out some way being bad wouldnt be UNGODLY better then being good
- [2011-12-11 02:29:40] <Grail> Deathless seems like it'd be a bit difficult for a shadow.
- [2011-12-11 02:30:12] <Abeo> I dunno, when was the last time you saw a shadow die?
- [2011-12-11 02:30:21] <Wutenheimer> seriously, up to this point it's been BE GOOD AND GET GOOD SHIT or BE BAD AND GET FUCKED
- [2011-12-11 02:30:36] <Arkeus> larro?
- [2011-12-11 02:30:59] <Grail> Quest author
- [2011-12-11 02:31:04] <Wutenheimer> not a text quest author so you wouldnt give a fuck
- [2011-12-11 02:31:06] <Grail> I recall he started on /tg/
- [2011-12-11 02:31:18] <Grail> Then left because lack of interest or trolling or something
- [2011-12-11 02:31:19] <Arkeus> You know, it's actually possible us being deathless also means sb is
- [2011-12-11 02:31:26] <Arkeus> as sb is a reflection of our body
- [2011-12-11 02:31:26] <Grail> Then someone posted about it on /tg/
- [2011-12-11 02:31:28] <Arkeus> of sort
- [2011-12-11 02:31:29] <Ironybot> Larro does... Guardian Quest, Esper Quest, How to be an Overlord, and... something else, I think.
- [2011-12-11 02:31:43] <Grail> Essentially gloating over how tgchan acquired him
- [2011-12-11 02:31:44] <Ironybot> The wiki probably knows.
- [2011-12-11 02:31:44] <Wutenheimer> he's usually running 4 quests at a time
- [2011-12-11 02:31:49] <Grail> And no one cared
- [2011-12-11 02:32:14] <Ironybot> Not caring is something the internet is pretty good at.
- [2011-12-11 02:32:21] <Grail> Yep.
- [2011-12-11 02:32:28] <Wutenheimer> i dont even care, and i follow most of his quests...
- [2011-12-11 02:32:35] <Abeo> ditto
- [2011-12-11 02:32:39] <Wutenheimer> up to the end of the first thread at least
- [2011-12-11 02:32:52] <Wutenheimer> then i cease to give a fuck
- [2011-12-11 02:32:57] <Abeo> Except he jumps around too much for me to follow more than the one he updates teh most anymore
- [2011-12-11 02:33:00] <Wutenheimer> because they're all the goddamn same
- [2011-12-11 02:33:14] <Abeo> well, 3 of them are bsed in the same world
- [2011-12-11 02:33:24] <Wutenheimer> which is EVEN MORE ANNOYING
- [2011-12-11 02:33:33] <Abeo> one of which seems to have been completely abandoned
- [2011-12-11 02:33:47] <Wutenheimer> meh
- [2011-12-11 02:33:54] <Wutenheimer> dont even know which
- [2011-12-11 02:33:57] <Abeo> the first was given a somewhat hasty conclusionm which segued into the incomplete one
- [2011-12-11 02:33:59] <Wutenheimer> dont care
- [2011-12-11 02:34:36] <Abeo> shoujen=done, item=dropped, guardian= almost never updates, overlord=I currently follow
- [2011-12-11 02:34:42] <Grail> Anyway yeah, Irony any mythical spirit animals in mind?
- [2011-12-11 02:35:04] <Grail> Or anyone who has input really
- [2011-12-11 02:35:24] <Wutenheimer> overlord is probably the longest i've followed one of larros quests
- [2011-12-11 02:35:27] <Ironybot> I'm afraid not. I have very little background in mythology aside from the usual nerd absorption and would want to do some looking before setting on an appropriate mythic animal.
- [2011-12-11 02:35:32] <Arkeus> Well, if we get super lurk, Doony is obvious
- [2011-12-11 02:35:36] <Wutenheimer> and i'm still not impressed
- [2011-12-11 02:35:54] <Grail> I think I'm forever going to be the research mule.
- [2011-12-11 02:36:11] <Arkeus> mrTT was thinking about lynx, i think?
- [2011-12-11 02:36:27] <Grail> I was leaning towards mythical.
- [2011-12-11 02:36:29] <Arkeus> something to do with a 'finding things'
- [2011-12-11 02:36:32] <Abeo> Sphynx
- [2011-12-11 02:36:43] <Grail> That's interesting.
- [2011-12-11 02:36:49] <Ironybot> In this particular matter it may not be that relevant- all we really need to do is get an animal with as large a soul as we can; we can subsequently sculpt it into having whatever powers we wish, at least in theory.
- [2011-12-11 02:36:51] <Grail> Man eater if I recall
- [2011-12-11 02:36:52] <Grail> Riddles
- [2011-12-11 02:36:59] <Grail> Not exactly our strong suit
- [2011-12-11 02:37:06] <Abeo> Wordplay is though
- [2011-12-11 02:37:11] <Arkeus> Grail: i was meaning a mythical one
- [2011-12-11 02:37:12] <Grail> True enough
- [2011-12-11 02:37:17] <Wutenheimer> so
- [2011-12-11 02:37:17] <Arkeus> not the common one
- [2011-12-11 02:37:22] <Wutenheimer> does anyone else
- [2011-12-11 02:37:27] <Arkeus> a animal that looks for stuff, iirc
- [2011-12-11 02:37:27] <Wutenheimer> pee off their porch?
- [2011-12-11 02:37:37] <Arkeus> 'catching one get you an answer' animal, irc
- [2011-12-11 02:37:42] <Ironybot> I do not have a porch, as I live in an apartment complex.
- [2011-12-11 02:37:43] <Arkeus> iirc
- [2011-12-11 02:37:43] <Wutenheimer> because fuck if i'm gunna walk all the way accross the house
- [2011-12-11 02:37:56] <Grail> I don't have a porch.
- [2011-12-11 02:38:06] <Abeo> aren't you currently somewhat intoxicated?
- [2011-12-11 02:38:12] <Wutenheimer> slightly
- [2011-12-11 02:38:28] <Wutenheimer> and it's like a 15 second walk across my house
- [2011-12-11 02:38:30] <Abeo> then peeing off your porch is comletely acceptable
- [2011-12-11 02:38:45] <Wutenheimer> 2 seconds to the porch/deck
- [2011-12-11 02:38:48] <Abeo> a balcony would be classier imho
- [2011-12-11 02:38:49] <Grail> If we want to sculpt the animal itself it might be best to pick something with an innately malleable soul.
- [2011-12-11 02:39:00] <Wutenheimer> meh, just piss out the window
- [2011-12-11 02:39:14] <Ironybot> Ah, another potential bonus to spirit animals as opposed to using our Winter powers- they may not be inherently Winter aligned, as they're not part of our own soul, so they might be able to provide direct physical enhancement simultaneously with the use of Summer powers.
- [2011-12-11 02:39:15] <Abeo> I can only think of a ditto
- [2011-12-11 02:39:16] <Arkeus> Grail: urgh, hyndras :-(
- [2011-12-11 02:39:18] <Abeo> ....
- [2011-12-11 02:39:27] <Arkeus> Ironybot: ooooooooh
- [2011-12-11 02:39:37] <Arkeus> also, this is another reason to get super-lurk
- [2011-12-11 02:39:37] <Grail> Hydras don't seem innately malleable.
- [2011-12-11 02:39:43] <Arkeus> as it owuld make us less winter aligned
- [2011-12-11 02:39:48] <Wutenheimer> >I just realized she has our logo on her undies...
- [2011-12-11 02:39:54] <Wutenheimer> MrTT; really?
- [2011-12-11 02:40:05] <Wutenheimer> it WASNT the first thing you noticed?
- [2011-12-11 02:40:45] <Ironybot> As far as innately malleable souls- I don't think it's worth the bother. We'll be able to sculpt it regardless.
- [2011-12-11 02:41:32] <Grail> Oh one thing I'd love to get for Shadowbro is an Enera
- [2011-12-11 02:41:40] <Grail> It's a Japanese smoke spirit.
- [2011-12-11 02:41:44] <Arkeus> oooooooooh
- [2011-12-11 02:42:05] <Ironybot> The possibility of changing our sculpt constantly on short notice is a present one, but I suspect it would involve a lot more understanding of soul sculpting than we'll have for a very long time.
- [2011-12-11 02:42:08] <Grail> I recall him wanting some means of foggy/smokey/obscuring manipulation.
- [2011-12-11 02:42:25] <Wutenheimer> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_0UJk4EUzB0 fuck yes sunshine

- [2011-12-11 02:42:26] <Arkeus> yeah
- [2011-12-11 02:42:31] <Wutenheimer> one of the best movies ever
- [2011-12-11 02:42:36] <Ironybot> Ah, that's right, we can get shadowbro spirit animals as well, can't we? He's got a soul and that's all that's required, really.
- [2011-12-11 02:42:47] <Arkeus> nah
- [2011-12-11 02:42:50] <Arkeus> a body is, too
- [2011-12-11 02:42:55] <Ironybot> He has a body.
- [2011-12-11 02:42:58] <Abeo> yeah, need the body
- [2011-12-11 02:43:03] <Abeo> does he?
- [2011-12-11 02:43:04] <Ironybot> It's made of shadow, but he has one.
- [2011-12-11 02:43:08] <Grail> Sake can or at least we intend for him to.
- [2011-12-11 02:43:13] <Abeo> Don't think that counts...
- [2011-12-11 02:43:16] <Arkeus> not for the specifi purposes
- [2011-12-11 02:43:22] <Abeo> Sake said he MIGHT be able to get one
- [2011-12-11 02:43:24] <Ironybot> We can ask Bob if we can make this work.
- [2011-12-11 02:43:38] <BUTTZ> SB has chakra
- [2011-12-11 02:43:39] <Grail> I'm assuming he can
- [2011-12-11 02:43:50] <BUTTZ> Chakra are the soul-body interface
- [2011-12-11 02:43:56] <BUTTZ> So he's got something there
- [2011-12-11 02:44:08] <Ironybot> I'm betting yes, he can in fact bind spirit animals- though the usual techniques for doing so probably won't work terribly well for him.
- [2011-12-11 02:44:24] <Ironybot> I mean, he's not going to go hunting while naked and high on some kind of crazy tribal drug.
- [2011-12-11 02:44:27] <Arkeus> last time that came up, bob told us he couldn't
- [2011-12-11 02:44:46] <Abeo> He doesn't really need to though
- [2011-12-11 02:44:52] <Arkeus> but maybe our soul abilitiesm eans we can GIVE him one
- [2011-12-11 02:44:53] <Ironybot> Ah, this specific question has come up before? Damn.
- [2011-12-11 02:45:01] <BUTTZ> We need to tell Camella "Hey get got a drug that'll let you bind a spirit to yourself."
- [2011-12-11 02:45:03] <Abeo> he can just go beat teh shit out of weaker shadow-fiends until they do what he wants
- [2011-12-11 02:45:11] <Grail> I'm fairly certain it's possible for Shadowbro
- [2011-12-11 02:45:14] <BUTTZ> "Wanna try it? We can find you a honey badger or something"
- [2011-12-11 02:45:25] <Abeo> ...perfect fit.
- [2011-12-11 02:45:25] <Ironybot> Camella can murder her cat for its power.
- [2011-12-11 02:45:27] <BUTTZ> "I'm going to get a humminbird. Because I'm delicate like that"
- [2011-12-11 02:45:29] <Grail> At least it's implied.
- [2011-12-11 02:45:36] <Shifter29> And then camella goes downstairs...
- [2011-12-11 02:45:41] <Ironybot> As a bonus, then we don't have to deal with her cat anymore.
- [2011-12-11 02:45:49] <Abeo> She has a cat?
- [2011-12-11 02:45:54] <BUTTZ> Armas hasn't yet dealt with it at all
- [2011-12-11 02:45:59] <Ironybot> So much the better!
- [2011-12-11 02:46:06] <Grail> It saw something shiny in her room
- [2011-12-11 02:46:08] <Grail> It wanted it
- [2011-12-11 02:46:13] <Abeo> wut
- [2011-12-11 02:46:18] <Grail> Somewhere along the line it claimed Camella as it's owner
- [2011-12-11 02:46:25] <Grail> It's a pretty odd cat
- [2011-12-11 02:46:31] <Abeo> I'm so confused
- [2011-12-11 02:46:37] <Grail> I think it brought her a monsters finger
- [2011-12-11 02:46:53] <Abeo> So I'll just revert to my base suggestion: eat it.
- [2011-12-11 02:47:20] <Ironybot> ....we could murder and eat Camella's cat. She wouldn't ever have to know.
- [2011-12-11 02:47:30] <Ironybot> But that would be spectacularly dickish.
- [2011-12-11 02:47:47] <Grail> I'm going to say no just because someone is going to make the obvious joke
- [2011-12-11 02:47:50] <Grail> Most likely TT
- [2011-12-11 02:48:29] <Ironybot> If his comments in Larro's discussion thread are any indication, there would be a time-delay of about two updates before he made it, though.
- [2011-12-11 02:49:41] <Abeo> Grail: I hadn't even thought of that until you mentioned it
- [2011-12-11 02:50:23] <Grail> I apologize then
- [2011-12-11 02:51:19] <Grail> But those are the kind of obvious puns that instantly come into your head after playing characters focusing on word play.
- [2011-12-11 02:56:53] <Grail> Something slightly related, but how do you all think magical armor would compare against soul manipulation or spirit animals focused in that direction?
- [2011-12-11 02:57:15] <Arkeus> with super-lurk?
- [2011-12-11 02:57:16] <Grail> We've seen what a bear does in terms of protection frankly it is rather obscene in terms of potency.
- [2011-12-11 02:57:17] <Arkeus> unfavorably
- [2011-12-11 02:57:27] <Shifter29> Armour's most useful feature is that it's not a piece of you.
- [2011-12-11 02:57:40] <Arkeus> i expect it would stack, however
- [2011-12-11 02:58:02] <Arkeus> but i also think magical armor would compare unfavorably
- [2011-12-11 02:58:12] <Grail> I don't know
- [2011-12-11 02:58:27] <Grail> We've seen Artifact armor that essentially makes someone untouchable.
- [2011-12-11 02:58:30] <Arkeus> because we would have a thrice compounded soul manipulation bloodline specializing on soul clupting
- [2011-12-11 02:58:44] <Arkeus> I was kind of excluding Artifact ones
- [2011-12-11 02:58:54] <Grail> I have to imagine something that literally embodies protection when amplified with magic would be better
- [2011-12-11 02:59:09] <Arkeus> But even then, i think a mythical spirit aniam that has been 'enhanced' would be better
- [2011-12-11 02:59:12] <Grail> But we've seen no other evidence to support that
- [2011-12-11 02:59:51] <Grail> Then again we've seen no magical armor beyond the artifact so the scope of our experiences with it is rather small
- [2011-12-11 03:01:33] <Arkeus> Yeah, our scope with either is really small
- [2011-12-11 03:02:05] <Arkeus> As i expect a powerful spirit animal based on defense enhanced by soul sculpting >>>>>> baby bear
- [2011-12-11 03:02:49] <Grail> I'm going to sleep now
- [2011-12-11 03:03:11] |<-- Grail has left irc.rizon.net (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
- [2011-12-11 03:03:13] <Arkeus> night then grail
- [2011-12-11 03:03:14] <Arkeus> huh
- [2011-12-11 03:03:30] <Arkeus> oh, Ironybot. we might be getting more updates now
- [2011-12-11 03:03:35] <BUTTZ> I wonder if it'd be possible to find a coral colony with a collective soul?
- [2011-12-11 03:03:48] <Ironybot> More updates? How so?
- [2011-12-11 03:04:45] <Arkeus> He has been let go, if i understand correctly
- [2011-12-11 03:05:01] <Arkeus> so he might go back to fully an update a day, if not sometimes more on WE
- [2011-12-11 03:07:11] <Ironybot> I see. Hmm. I may have to make an effort to post my suggestions more promptly.
- [2011-12-11 03:08:10] <Arkeus> that's why i said that
- [2011-12-11 03:11:58] <Ironybot> Hey, what do you think Shadowbro needs to do to claim another shadow as his?
- [2011-12-11 03:12:10] <Ironybot> I wonder if we could con random people into selling us their shadows.
- [2011-12-11 03:12:44] <Ironybot> Go to a bar and I bet we could fast talk a hell of a lot of half-drunk people into selling us their shadows in exchange for being bought a round of beer.
- [2011-12-11 03:13:05] <Arkeus> ...That could actually work
- [2011-12-11 03:13:25] <Arkeus> But i think for him to be ABLE to take it would need SB to be much stronger
- [2011-12-11 03:13:37] <Arkeus> For now, i think your heart plan is the best bet for quick power up for SB
- [2011-12-11 03:13:57] <Ironybot> Something to speak to him about. More shadows were on his wishlist.
- [2011-12-11 03:14:20] <Arkeus> What do you think of my idea to sell the magic pistols to get Rabbit giving us darkening and helping us with the finalization of the bloodine?
- [2011-12-11 03:14:50] <Ironybot> The heart plan is definitely going to be great for him, yes. And consider that with the teleportation upgrade, we'll be able to teleport anyone in the net to anywhere that Shadowbro is... and combine that with his movement abilities.
- [2011-12-11 03:15:06] <Arkeus> <Ironybot> The heart plan is definitely going to be great for him, yes. And consider that with the teleportation upgrade, we'll be able to teleport anyone in the net to anywhere that Shadowbro is... and combine that with his movement abilities. <= i told you about that
- [2011-12-11 03:15:14] <Arkeus> like, the moment you talked abou teleport in disc
- [2011-12-11 03:15:18] <Arkeus> 1 or 2 weeks agio
- [2011-12-11 03:15:20] <Arkeus> ago
- [2011-12-11 03:16:37] <Ironybot> Your comment was not entirely explicit as to what you meant.
- [2011-12-11 03:16:47] <Arkeus> huh, ok
- [2011-12-11 03:17:46] <Ironybot> I interpreted it as saying that Shadowbro might be able to use his powers to teleport us around, rather than that we would be able to use the heart's powers to teleport to Shadowbro.
- [2011-12-11 03:18:02] <Ironybot> Although both might be true.
- [2011-12-11 03:18:08] <Arkeus> interestingly enough, this means SB could go in a building kilomoters away from us, and as he hs more than one shadow, he could still teleport all of us there
- [2011-12-11 03:18:42] <BUTTZ> As it is we could rob an armored truck and no mundane authority would be able to figure it out
- [2011-12-11 03:18:48] <Arkeus> <Ironybot> I interpreted it as saying that Shadowbro might be able to use his powers to teleport us around, rather than that we would be able to use the heart's powers to teleport to Shadowbro. <= it's more that he would use the multi-shadows of his being to teleport us around
- [2011-12-11 03:19:08] <Arkeus> BUTTZ: yeah
- [2011-12-11 03:19:08] <Ironybot> Well, yes. Even if he was just the one shadow we could still teleport to him kilometers away, if we built the heart for teleportation spec, since anyone in the net could teleport to his body.
- [2011-12-11 03:19:34] <Ironybot> The distinction matters mostly because it changes where the power draw comes from and the mechanics involved.
- [2011-12-11 03:19:43] <Arkeus> Ironybot: with the heart plan, he will be at least 25bodies
- [2011-12-11 03:19:47] <Ironybot> I am aware.
- [2011-12-11 03:19:50] <Arkeus> one for each russians+hafaz&co
- [2011-12-11 03:19:58] <Arkeus> irhgt, yes
- [2011-12-11 03:20:00] <BUTTZ> You think Hafaz will let you?
- [2011-12-11 03:20:04] <BUTTZ> Because I don't
- [2011-12-11 03:20:07] <Ironybot> We can probably talk him into it.
- [2011-12-11 03:20:09] <Arkeus> putting teleport in it means it drains SB MUCH less
- [2011-12-11 03:20:23] <Arkeus> Yeah, we can probably talk Hafaz int oit
- [2011-12-11 03:20:26] <Arkeus> into it
- [2011-12-11 03:21:04] <Ironybot> Nigh-immortality is a huge draw for anyone. Being able to draw on a variety of magical powers, have reliable escape routes, and communicate flawlessly with backup are just icing on the cake.
- [2011-12-11 03:21:21] <BUTTZ> The downsides are pretty big though
- [2011-12-11 03:21:38] <Arkeus> what are they?
- [2011-12-11 03:21:48] <Ironybot> If Armas can't spin those out of consideration he doesn't deserve those M and D traits of his.
- [2011-12-11 03:23:00] <BUTTZ> A single point of failure for your entire team. Your (crazy) employer (literally) holds your life in his sock drawer or whatever, he's going to use a chained hate entity that can lie to do the work, and you go from being human to being a weird magic colony organism
- [2011-12-11 03:23:33] <Arkeus> BUTTZ: we can add them later on
- [2011-12-11 03:23:41] <Arkeus> so they could see it if fails first
- [2011-12-11 03:24:14] <Arkeus> and 'single point of failure' means 'not hundreds of critical ones', in this case
- [2011-12-11 03:24:17] <Ironybot> I don't think this plan will actually have a significant impact on the level of humanity of those involved. It's externalizing the power rather than internalizing it, so it should function mostly like a magic item rather than like gaining crazy mutating magical powers.
- [2011-12-11 03:24:28] <Arkeus> Yeah
- [2011-12-11 03:24:41] <Arkeus> It should change them a bit, but no more than them having a bloodline
- [2011-12-11 03:24:42] <Ironybot> That's another reason I like it. Armas keeps modding himself.
- [2011-12-11 03:24:43] <Arkeus> if even that
- [2011-12-11 03:24:50] <BUTTZ> You give up your heart!
- [2011-12-11 03:24:56] <Ironybot> It grows back.
- [2011-12-11 03:25:19] <BUTTZ> The thing that grows back is an aspect of the group heart!
- [2011-12-11 03:25:21] <Ironybot> Technically the plan only requires a little heartsblood and a sliver of soul. We're talking a syringeful, here.
- [2011-12-11 03:25:27] <Arkeus> they don't give it up entirely unless we maange to spin that off
- [2011-12-11 03:25:35] <Arkeus> iirc, it was just taking a bith of heartflesh
- [2011-12-11 03:25:53] <BUTTZ> Isn't it best with the heart being given up entirely?
- [2011-12-11 03:25:56] <Arkeus> yes
- [2011-12-11 03:26:01] <Ironybot> The original proposal used heartblood. Tearing out heart flesh and later full hearts was a proposal to strengthen it.
- [2011-12-11 03:26:02] <Arkeus> But it would be harder to spin
- [2011-12-11 03:26:06] <Arkeus> and wecould still make it grow back
- [2011-12-11 03:26:51] <Arkeus> Also, about flesh magic, while the ucrrent powers are not that useful, i expect it to be the baby training wheels
- [2011-12-11 03:26:55] <Arkeus> first steps!
- [2011-12-11 03:28:24] <Ironybot> I am concerned a bit about flesh magic and our level of humanity. Seems like a quick way to discard lots of it if we mod our body heavily, particularly if we start doing things that cause cosmetic changes to our external appearance..
- [2011-12-11 03:28:45] <Ironybot> You know someone's going to want to grow claws or similar.
- [2011-12-11 03:29:15] <BUTTZ> Claws are too obvious. Subdermal armor is where it's at.
- [2011-12-11 03:29:54] <Arkeus> i think what we will get is stronger bones etc
- [2011-12-11 03:30:11] <Ironybot> I'm kind of hoping for more efficient and stronger muscles, keener and larger-spectrum eyesight, that sort of thing.
- [2011-12-11 03:30:14] <Ralith> stronger bones
- [2011-12-11 03:30:21] <Ralith> maybe a tozol-style ribcage if that's not too extreme
- [2011-12-11 03:30:34] <Ironybot> When we can see in infrared that will be a good day.
- [2011-12-11 03:30:45] <Arkeus> Also, about Red Caps footwork, i get the feeling that it not only givces you top speed in one step, but it also makes us much more resistant to damage while speeding us up
- [2011-12-11 03:31:04] <Arkeus> as the problem with having too much speed is breaking our ankles/etc, it's really good
- [2011-12-11 03:31:38] <Ironybot> It does apparently involve a lot of training on how to rapidly stop and start, yes.
- [2011-12-11 03:32:03] <BUTTZ> Tozol-style is what?
- [2011-12-11 03:32:40] <Arkeus> Ironybot: it also involves making the body more resistant to shock
- [2011-12-11 03:32:55] <Ironybot> Without magical modification?
- [2011-12-11 03:33:15] <Arkeus> with ones similars to what we can do to our ogans
- [2011-12-11 03:33:19] <Arkeus> organs
- [2011-12-11 03:33:20] <Ironybot> I thought we were only learning the mundane aspects of the style. Shock resistant seems magical.
- [2011-12-11 03:33:44] <Shot__> >Make armas a human/tozol abomination'
- [2011-12-11 03:33:46] <Shot__> oh god
- [2011-12-11 03:34:00] <Arkeus> Iirc, sellign them charms+ punt gun/doony's blood give us more than just punt gun/doony's blood
- [2011-12-11 03:34:10] <Ironybot> The flesh manipulation bits would have to wait until we get the whole lifelong friendship with horrific man-eating monstrosities thing going.
- [2011-12-11 03:34:28] <Ironybot> I thought that just got us teaching from both of them. I'd have to check, admittedly.
- [2011-12-11 03:34:50] <Ralith> BUTTZ: plate armor, basically
- [2011-12-11 03:35:02] <Ralith> the idea is you can't get shot in any critical organs without it having to go through the bone
- [2011-12-11 03:35:06] <Ralith> which is extremely strong
- [2011-12-11 03:35:06] <Arkeus> Well, keep in mind that when SB talked about the footwork, he did talk about magical quality to it
- [2011-12-11 03:35:34] <Ironybot> Speaking of lifelong friendship with horrific man-eating monstrosities, it would be awesome to have them in the heart net but I'm not sure that we actually want freaking Redcaps to have a telepathic heart-to-heart link with our almost-mundane minions. Seems like it might, ah, go over very poorly.
- [2011-12-11 03:35:46] <Arkeus> indeed
- [2011-12-11 03:36:15] <Ironybot> Making all that happen would be an epic-tier feat of diplomacy. More so if we have Camella involved.
- [2011-12-11 03:37:42] <Ironybot> I suppose we could just not tell anyone, then let them realize to their horror what they've signed up for and that there is no escape.
- [2011-12-11 03:38:32] <Ironybot> Would not be the more elegant of ploys, though.
- [2011-12-11 03:43:09] <Ralith> BUTTZ: assuming sufficiently strong bone, it makes it more or less impossible to be fatally wounded short of being shot through the eye or something
- [2011-12-11 03:43:26] <Arkeus> silly Ralith
- [2011-12-11 03:43:33] <Ralith> not sure if that's all that important to Armas given how easily he can regenerate, but we can probably use that energy for plenty of other things too
- [2011-12-11 03:43:47] <Arkeus> It's also utterly useless considering his enemies
- [2011-12-11 03:43:52] <Arkeus> it won't help with them
- [2011-12-11 03:43:58] <Wutenheimer> i just noticed how long my list of steam games is
- [2011-12-11 03:44:04] <Wutenheimer> it's actually kinda impressive
- [2011-12-11 03:44:17] <Ralith> Arkeus: being harder to kill doesn't help?
- [2011-12-11 03:44:29] <Ralith> harder to kill by physical trauma, anyway
- [2011-12-11 03:44:51] <BUTTZ> You'd give up a huge amount of flexibility yould need a serous membrane or something like it between each plate
- [2011-12-11 03:45:14] <Ralith> BUTTZ: it's basically that dragon (or w/e) body armor stuff, except biological
- [2011-12-11 03:45:20] =-= TMIoverloadaway is now known as TMIoverload
- [2011-12-11 03:45:22] <Ralith> and plus all the magic bonuses we can apply due to it being made of us
- [2011-12-11 03:45:27] <BUTTZ> Anything that causes connective tissue damage would leave you a complete cripple
- [2011-12-11 03:45:39] <TMIoverload> I find it unlikely such a system would actually work, and GfH tends a bit more towards realism
- [2011-12-11 03:45:46] <Arkeus> <Ralith> BUTTZ: it's basically that dragon (or w/e) body armor stuff, except biological <= and that armor is bad for us now
- [2011-12-11 03:45:56] <Arkeus> as flexibility > some lesser armor right now
- [2011-12-11 03:45:58] <Ralith> Arkeus: that armor doesn't have aforementioned magical bonuses
- [2011-12-11 03:46:10] <Ralith> if subdermal armor is worth it at all, then this is reasonable
- [2011-12-11 03:46:36] <TMIoverload> Ral, can you offer up a link to a pseudo-science explanation of how it works?
- [2011-12-11 03:46:37] <Arkeus> I don't think subdermal armor that is permanent is any good, honestly
- [2011-12-11 03:46:53] <Ralith> I'm not particularly convinced it is either!
- [2011-12-11 03:46:55] <Arkeus> Because our enemy would tend to melt our whole body in one strike
- [2011-12-11 03:47:10] <Ralith> Armas is way more about stealth and manipulation and *not being where the hit landed* than absorbing damage
- [2011-12-11 03:47:15] <Arkeus> and our best hope is usually to not be where the hit is, not to weather it
- [2011-12-11 03:47:20] <Ralith> way ahead of you
- [2011-12-11 03:47:30] <Arkeus> so more def in exchange for AG seems like a poor trade
- [2011-12-11 03:47:31] <Ralith> I was just commenting on the proposal of subdermal body armor
- [2011-12-11 03:47:39] <Arkeus> Ok
- [2011-12-11 03:48:01] <Ralith> probably a better investment would be (learning to make) defensive charms
- [2011-12-11 03:48:17] <Ralith> as far as surviving big hits goes
- [2011-12-11 03:48:42] -->| AlratanMobile (~alratan@FB93FF76.71D4971C.36443E58.IP) has joined #golemquest
- [2011-12-11 03:49:18] <Wutenheimer> probably be a good idea to learn from einrik and lo fang
- [2011-12-11 03:49:27] <Arkeus> Learning to make defensive charms, making on the fly flesh manipulation, making soul magic manipulation, spirit animals
- [2011-12-11 03:49:36] <Arkeus> all of those are better, i feel
- [2011-12-11 03:49:56] <Arkeus> I also think that, like the Valkonens use runes in their ices for some stuff, we could do the same in our flesh magic
- [2011-12-11 03:50:13] <Arkeus> Wutenheimer: Einrik's contact is probably a better idea i feel
- [2011-12-11 03:50:20] <Arkeus> (than einrik)
- [2011-12-11 03:50:22] <Wutenheimer> for charms
- [2011-12-11 03:50:23] <AlratanMobile> Magical tattoos of some kind
- [2011-12-11 03:50:27] <Wutenheimer> not chakras
- [2011-12-11 03:50:37] <Arkeus> I think Einrik's charms are chakra based
- [2011-12-11 03:50:41] <AlratanMobile> Those Maori ones we were considering before
- [2011-12-11 03:50:42] <Arkeus> can't be sure it's explciit, though
- [2011-12-11 03:50:57] <AlratanMobile> In think Einrik's charms are eldritch based
- [2011-12-11 03:51:41] <TMIoverload> I wonder what combining Lo Fang's lessons with Goblin Expendable charm lessons would give us
- [2011-12-11 03:51:59] <AlratanMobile> Before we go to Einrik's contact, what are we going to pay them with for teaching us?
- [2011-12-11 03:51:59] <Arkeus> TMIoverload: and comining it with soul manipulation
- [2011-12-11 03:52:04] <Arkeus> As all three use soul
- [2011-12-11 03:53:24] <AlratanMobile> How do we know the principles behind the goblin charms?
- [2011-12-11 03:53:28] <TMIoverload> Though honestly I want the trap-making/setup lessons, combined with Lo Fang expendable charm lessons.
- [2011-12-11 03:54:09] <Arkeus> Bob did say that increasing our soul manipulation ability would also increase the max we could learn of item crafting from goblins
- [2011-12-11 03:54:16] <AlratanMobile> Trap making is yet another competency we'd have to start from scratch
- [2011-12-11 03:54:26] <Arkeus> Trap making is based on charms
- [2011-12-11 03:54:38] <AlratanMobile> I strongly doubt that
- [2011-12-11 03:54:44] <Arkeus> It's actually no good for SB as he would have trouble powering them
- [2011-12-11 03:54:47] <AlratanMobile> Given the relative exchange rates
- [2011-12-11 03:54:48] <Arkeus> gimme a sec
- [2011-12-11 03:54:59] <AlratanMobile> As trap making is 1:1
- [2011-12-11 03:55:07] <AlratanMobile> And charm making is 1:5
- [2011-12-11 03:55:26] <Arkeus> 12[04-12-2011 | 08:47:52] <Arkeus> What kind of things would we learn by buying trap making lessons from goblins?
- [2011-12-11 03:55:26] <Arkeus> 12[04-12-2011 | 08:47:52] <Arkeus> for SB, i mean
- [2011-12-11 03:55:26] <Arkeus> [04-12-2011 | 08:48:43] <TheBeardiestBob> not much that's useful for him, since they rely on being able to make charms, and Dark residents have real trouble imbuing permanent objects of any sort-meaning the power drain of sustaining traps would suck.
- [2011-12-11 03:55:26] <Arkeus> 12[04-12-2011 | 08:49:00] <Arkeus> Damn
- [2011-12-11 03:55:26] <Arkeus> 12[04-12-2011 | 08:49:23] <Arkeus> Would SB be able to teleport charms now?
- [2011-12-11 03:55:28] <Arkeus> 12[04-12-2011 | 08:49:29] <Arkeus> Especially if they are of Armas make?
- [2011-12-11 03:55:28] <Arkeus> [04-12-2011 | 08:50:13] <TheBeardiestBob> Yeah, but no for long
- [2011-12-11 03:55:29] <Arkeus> [04-12-2011 | 08:50:16] <TheBeardiestBob> not for long
- [2011-12-11 03:55:39] <Ralith> can we get lessons on *non*-expendable charmgs?
- [2011-12-11 03:55:40] <Ralith> charms
- [2011-12-11 03:55:49] <AlratanMobile> I'd much prefer we focus our goblin training on the tactical aspects of their archery
- [2011-12-11 03:55:53] <Arkeus> passive charming seems to be it, Ralith
- [2011-12-11 03:56:02] <Arkeus> Alratan: we can't right now
- [2011-12-11 03:56:04] <Ralith> that seems more worthwhile
- [2011-12-11 03:56:04] <Arkeus> gimme a sec
- [2011-12-11 03:56:16] <AlratanMobile> Arkeus: why not?
- [2011-12-11 03:56:18] <Ralith> also man we need a wiki to index all our knowledge
- [2011-12-11 03:56:50] <Arkeus> 12[09-12-2011 | 04:44:52] <Arkeus> I was thinking about asking the Goblins some kind of Archery/hunting training mix, which isn't archery at all but visualization stuff we could use with our buntline, and asking this trainng to include a lot of real combat
- [2011-12-11 03:56:50] <Arkeus> 12[09-12-2011 | 04:45:12] <Arkeus> TheBeardiestBob: whihc is why that lone goblin couldn't sell shit
- [2011-12-11 03:56:50] <Arkeus> [09-12-2011 | 04:45:44] <TheBeardiestBob> Visualization is a crapshoot in real life unless you're already sufficiently masterful to begin with, you know that right?
- [2011-12-11 03:56:50] <Arkeus> [09-12-2011 | 04:45:50] <TheBeardiestBob> Be a huge waste of time and resources.
- [2011-12-11 03:56:50] <Arkeus> 12[09-12-2011 | 04:45:58] <Arkeus> This 'training' was partly in order ot learn more about iron trick, partly because i think the goblins know how to use their attentio nsense to great effects in range
- [2011-12-11 03:56:51] <Arkeus> 12[09-12-2011 | 04:46:06] <Arkeus> mmh
- [2011-12-11 03:56:51] <Arkeus> 12[09-12-2011 | 04:46:58] <Arkeus> So there isn't a way to ask for training that include attention sense use at range where we could use our buntline for hours of shooting?
- [2011-12-11 03:56:54] <Arkeus> 12[09-12-2011 | 04:47:08] <Arkeus> which wouldn't be a huge waste...
- [2011-12-11 03:56:54] <Arkeus> 12[09-12-2011 | 04:47:09] <Arkeus> huh
- [2011-12-11 03:56:55] <Arkeus> [09-12-2011 | 04:47:47] <TheBeardiestBob> Arkeus
- [2011-12-11 03:56:55] <Arkeus> [09-12-2011 | 04:47:55] <TheBeardiestBob> Can Armas shoot 'masterfully'?
- [2011-12-11 03:56:57] <Arkeus> 12[09-12-2011 | 04:48:00] <Arkeus> Far from it
- [2011-12-11 03:56:57] <Arkeus> [09-12-2011 | 04:48:03] <TheBeardiestBob> Can Armas spirit sense 'masterfully'?
- [2011-12-11 03:56:59] <Arkeus> [09-12-2011 | 04:48:12] <TheBeardiestBob> Then it's worthless, like I just said.
- [2011-12-11 03:57:46] <AlratanMobile> Well, as that's not what I want to learn from the goblins about archery
- [2011-12-11 03:57:53] <AlratanMobile> It's not a problem
- [2011-12-11 03:57:59] <Arkeus> what do yo uwant to learn?
- [2011-12-11 03:58:37] <AlratanMobile> When to shoot from ambush for best effect, where to aim so it will hit we're someone will be
- [2011-12-11 03:58:48] <AlratanMobile> *where someone
- [2011-12-11 03:58:56] <Arkeus> yeah, no
- [2011-12-11 03:59:02] <Arkeus> that's what i was talking about
- [2011-12-11 03:59:07] <Arkeus> it relies on spirit perception
- [2011-12-11 03:59:12] <AlratanMobile> It's not what you asked about
- [2011-12-11 03:59:13] <Arkeus> and we need to increase that first
- [2011-12-11 03:59:21] <Arkeus> that was a follow up to a talk in main
- [2011-12-11 03:59:29] <Wutenheimer> >learning from the goblins how to lead a shot
- [2011-12-11 03:59:34] <Wutenheimer> nigga what
- [2011-12-11 03:59:54] <Wutenheimer> just do it normally, LIKE EVERY OTHER GODDAMN HUMAN BEING IN EXISTANCE
- [2011-12-11 04:00:07] <Wutenheimer> HELL I DUNNO GO SHOOT SOME TRAP OR SOMETHING
- [2011-12-11 04:00:20] <Arkeus> SHOOT CAMELLA's CAT
- [2011-12-11 04:00:23] <Wutenheimer> seriously, that's the dumbest thing i think you've suggested
- [2011-12-11 04:00:26] <Arkeus> THAT SHOULD BE ENOUGH OF A TRAP
- [2011-12-11 04:00:31] <AlratanMobile> Lead a shot in a way impossible for people who can't sense the Intention of other people
- [2011-12-11 04:00:44] <AlratanMobile> As we know what people are going to do
- [2011-12-11 04:00:45] <Wutenheimer> sence the future
- [2011-12-11 04:00:54] <Wutenheimer> so, become a seer?
- [2011-12-11 04:00:56] <AlratanMobile> Not the future
- [2011-12-11 04:00:57] <Arkeus> It relies on having still better spirit sensing *and* shooting skills
- [2011-12-11 04:01:00] <AlratanMobile> No
- [2011-12-11 04:01:06] <Arkeus> we'lll have to wait for that
- [2011-12-11 04:01:09] <AlratanMobile> We know what people will do next
- [2011-12-11 04:01:21] <Arkeus> we have some kind of dim sense
- [2011-12-11 04:01:22] <AlratanMobile> That's the whole point of how our stealth works
- [2011-12-11 04:01:28] <Wutenheimer> then just suggest you apply our sencing shit to shooting
- [2011-12-11 04:01:32] <Arkeus> where they will look at, and, if we know the person, what they will do
- [2011-12-11 04:01:34] <Arkeus> not 'people'
- [2011-12-11 04:01:39] <AlratanMobile> We know where they will look next in precise detail
- [2011-12-11 04:01:51] <AlratanMobile> For hundreds of complete strangers at a time
- [2011-12-11 04:02:07] <Arkeus> Yes, where they will look
- [2011-12-11 04:02:19] <Arkeus> not where they will move unless we know the person really well
- [2011-12-11 04:02:20] <AlratanMobile> We know exactly where to move so not one of them will be looking at that spot when we get there
- [2011-12-11 04:02:24] <Arkeus> we need better senses first
- [2011-12-11 04:03:09] <AlratanMobile> The whole point of asking for the goblins to train us in this as part of archery is to get them to teach us those better senses
- [2011-12-11 04:03:37] <Arkeus> lol
- [2011-12-11 04:03:43] <AlratanMobile> As we're never going to get them on our own
- [2011-12-11 04:03:48] <AlratanMobile> Ever
- [2011-12-11 04:03:49] <Arkeus> Of course we are
- [2011-12-11 04:03:55] <AlratanMobile> How?
- [2011-12-11 04:04:02] <Arkeus> Spiritual sensing is one of our main thing
- [2011-12-11 04:04:07] <AlratanMobile> How?
- [2011-12-11 04:04:19] <Arkeus> We already have a way we have to increase them
- [2011-12-11 04:04:19] <TMIoverload> By actually taking the time to practice?
- [2011-12-11 04:04:23] <AlratanMobile> Describe the process
- [2011-12-11 04:04:31] <Arkeus> once we hit a plateau, we'll have another way
- [2011-12-11 04:04:43] <AlratanMobile> What should Armas do when practicing?
- [2011-12-11 04:04:47] <TMIoverload> You realize we've spent fuck-all time practicing anything but melee, which we have seen increases to
- [2011-12-11 04:04:48] <Arkeus> but currently sparring with russains help our psirit senses a lot
- [2011-12-11 04:05:00] <Arkeus> spirit senses a lot
- [2011-12-11 04:05:10] <Arkeus> Russians
- [2011-12-11 04:05:11] <AlratanMobile> We need to drop melee training, I agree
- [2011-12-11 04:05:26] <Arkeus> lol, Melee trraining IS for spirit sense
- [2011-12-11 04:05:30] <TMIoverload> Yep Al, I've been saying that since the beginning
- [2011-12-11 04:05:50] <Arkeus> What did you think we were doing?
- [2011-12-11 04:05:54] <TMIoverload> Never wanted to start
- [2011-12-11 04:06:18] <Arkeus> The whole point of the melee training with a bunch of russians is to increase spirit sense and gyaketsuote
- [2011-12-11 04:06:35] <Arkeus> It certainly doesn't truly increase our melee skills
- [2011-12-11 04:06:46] <AlratanMobile> The reason I suggested Jukenjitsu was because people wanted to do martial arts, and I hoped that a martial art based around a gun would be least bad
- [2011-12-11 04:06:50] <TMIoverload> But people are all "LOL, there's magic we can fight stuff up close, we'll have to do it eventually" Not like we stopped both the Elf and Doony from ever closing with us when we didn't want them to
- [2011-12-11 04:07:31] <Arkeus> TMIoverload: we stopped the elf because he was an idiot, and doony because we had back up and artifact
- [2011-12-11 04:07:32] <TMIoverload> Really Ark? Those gyms and Jukenhitsu were all about our spirit senses?
- [2011-12-11 04:07:42] <Arkeus> The gyms were stupid shit
- [2011-12-11 04:07:48] <AlratanMobile> Have to admit that the plan failed, and Jutentitsu has turned out to have nothing to do with actually using the weapon for its main purpose
- [2011-12-11 04:07:53] <Arkeus> Jikentsu was because of chakra, iirc
- [2011-12-11 04:08:05] |<-- MrTT has left irc.rizon.net (Quit: Leaving)
- [2011-12-11 04:08:10] <TMIoverload> No, we didn't know shit about chakra when we started learning Juke.
- [2011-12-11 04:08:17] <AlratanMobile> Jukenjitsu became about chakra later
- [2011-12-11 04:08:23] <TMIoverload> We only learned the Chakra stuff like the last few days before we left
- [2011-12-11 04:08:25] <Arkeus> TMIoverload: read how we looked for Jijukentsu
- [2011-12-11 04:08:34] <Arkeus> we were looking for a "magical style martial art"
- [2011-12-11 04:08:39] <Ironybot> We did get some contacts out of the whole gym thing, so it wasn't a total loss.
- [2011-12-11 04:08:45] <AlratanMobile> People wanted to waste our time with Krav Magra
- [2011-12-11 04:08:50] -->| EvilP-m (~AndChat@Rizon-3F181EAB.dynamic.dsl.as9105.com) has joined #golemquest
- [2011-12-11 04:08:56] <AlratanMobile> And I was determined not to do that
- [2011-12-11 04:09:25] <TMIoverload> Which was stupid as hell. Magic martial art? Why the hell would we go with that when we can shoot things in the head?
- [2011-12-11 04:09:33] <Ironybot> Hopefully if we get Shadowbro more memory manipulation we'll be able to run around blatantly stealing skills from everyone and their cousin.
- [2011-12-11 04:09:44] <Arkeus> lol Ironybot
- [2011-12-11 04:09:54] <Arkeus> Yeah, that's the downside of not having memory manip
- [2011-12-11 04:09:55] <AlratanMobile> But we do need to finish with gyaketsuote
- [2011-12-11 04:10:08] <Arkeus> We need gyaketsuote and spirit senes
- [2011-12-11 04:10:13] <Arkeus> as both stakc with everything
- [2011-12-11 04:10:14] <AlratanMobile> But that's so we can try to use it at range and socially
- [2011-12-11 04:10:30] <Arkeus> and the only way we have tfound to train for this is sparring with russians
- [2011-12-11 04:10:34] <Arkeus> and it's a free way
- [2011-12-11 04:10:37] <AlratanMobile> I think as soon as we can, we should start using paintballs
- [2011-12-11 04:10:46] <TMIoverload> Al, here's a problem with that. There's always going to be more neat tricks we can learn as we go deeper in the martial arts. Bob feeds us hooks. We need to learn which ones not to take
- [2011-12-11 04:10:51] <Ironybot> And with accelerated learning speed through chakras, once we get trained with that, our ability to learn both melee and ranged combat should massively increase, giving us a great multiplier to the effectiveness of time spent.
- [2011-12-11 04:10:53] <AlratanMobile> Rather than fists when practicing
- [2011-12-11 04:11:14] <AlratanMobile> There was a reason I said to buy 20 paintball guns
- [2011-12-11 04:11:18] <Arkeus> Ironybot: also the ability to not have our brain melt by speed thinking
- [2011-12-11 04:11:30] <Ironybot> We can probably buy that from Sometimes Merchant in the morning.
- [2011-12-11 04:11:35] <AlratanMobile> As the tricks in gyaketsuote don't seem to be based on melee combat
- [2011-12-11 04:11:43] <Arkeus> Yes, that's what i want to buy from him
- [2011-12-11 04:11:48] <AlratanMobile> We simply need to stop speed thinking
- [2011-12-11 04:11:53] <Ironybot> Why?
- [2011-12-11 04:11:55] <Arkeus> Yeah, hyaketsuote tricks are much more than melee
- [2011-12-11 04:12:00] <Arkeus> Same for spirit sensing
- [2011-12-11 04:12:20] <Arkeus> Speed thinking is GREAT if we can do it without harm
- [2011-12-11 04:12:22] <AlratanMobile> So we need to start practicing them in a way that helps things like shooting we need to practice with
- [2011-12-11 04:12:28] <Ironybot> That is, why would we stop speed thinking when we could take steps to make it safe? It has obvious and substantial benefits.
- [2011-12-11 04:12:46] <AlratanMobile> Even if you stop the organic damage
- [2011-12-11 04:13:02] <AlratanMobile> It still destroys your sense of time
- [2011-12-11 04:13:09] <AlratanMobile> Which is very dangerous
- [2011-12-11 04:13:14] <Arkeus> Again, there are ways to go against that
- [2011-12-11 04:13:24] <Arkeus> and putting Igor in the heartblood will help, too
- [2011-12-11 04:13:28] <Ironybot> Apples to donuts Sometimes Merchant can provide protections against virtually all damage.
- [2011-12-11 04:13:35] <Arkeus> Yeah
- [2011-12-11 04:13:38] <AlratanMobile> Heart blood is months or years off
- [2011-12-11 04:13:49] <Arkeus> lol, heartblood is short term
- [2011-12-11 04:13:52] <AlratanMobile> Not really a factor
- [2011-12-11 04:13:53] <Ironybot> Admittedly, he'll charge for it- but we have a lot to tell.
- [2011-12-11 04:14:00] <AlratanMobile> No, we don't
- [2011-12-11 04:14:03] <Arkeus> that's why Ironybot was wanting it
- [2011-12-11 04:14:10] <Ironybot> Sell. Excuse me.
- [2011-12-11 04:14:25] <Arkeus> It's a short term power up that will continue to stack and be a multiplying factor
- [2011-12-11 04:14:31] <AlratanMobile> We actually have quite little that's safe to sell
- [2011-12-11 04:14:35] <Ironybot> The heart plan is medium term. It cannot reasonably happen until after the doonongaes is dead.
- [2011-12-11 04:14:38] <Arkeus> We have quite a bit
- [2011-12-11 04:14:49] <Arkeus> Ironybot: Well, Einrik is here for Doony
- [2011-12-11 04:15:00] <AlratanMobile> Dooney is a month away
- [2011-12-11 04:15:04] <Arkeus> and if we want to use what little poison protection we have left, we shoukld try to kill him soon
- [2011-12-11 04:15:08] <AlratanMobile> If we can possible manage it
- [2011-12-11 04:15:11] <Arkeus> Doony is 'until a month' away
- [2011-12-11 04:15:16] <Arkeus> we can do it sooner
- [2011-12-11 04:15:18] <Ironybot> I'm pretty sure that poison protection is gone by now.
- [2011-12-11 04:15:22] <AlratanMobile> We should wait as long as possible
- [2011-12-11 04:15:46] <Arkeus> There is no reason to wait if we can NOT wait
- [2011-12-11 04:16:01] <TMIoverload> I'm thinking he's going to ambush the Russians on the Triad job
- [2011-12-11 04:16:12] <AlratanMobile> Then they die
- [2011-12-11 04:16:35] <Arkeus> TMIoverload: yeah, i think so, too
- [2011-12-11 04:16:40] <AlratanMobile> Easy come, easy go

- [2011-12-11 04:19:18] <AlratanMobile> Not just rifles, sub machine gun as well
- [2011-12-11 04:19:26] <Ironybot> Can't we now? Or are you looking for an even higher "very high"?
- [2011-12-11 04:19:41] <AlratanMobile> We need the bottomless magasine
- [2011-12-11 04:19:53] <AlratanMobile> Otherwise we run dry after 6 seconds
- [2011-12-11 04:20:02] <Ironybot> Shadowbro's teleportation reloads might not be a bottomless magazine, but they're pretty good.
- [2011-12-11 04:20:24] <Arkeus> Shadowbro can also teleport us out
- [2011-12-11 04:20:25] <Ironybot> And besides, the way that Bob runs the dice here, guns jam all the damn time.
- [2011-12-11 04:20:26] <AlratanMobile> We can't carry hundreds or thousands of rounds
- [2011-12-11 04:20:32] <AlratanMobile> They're too heavy

- [2011-12-11 04:21:34] <AlratanMobile> We need SB to teleport to clear jams as they happen
- [2011-12-11 04:21:40] <Arkeus> If we take care of the mind?
- [2011-12-11 04:21:43] <Arkeus> sure
- [2011-12-11 04:22:22] <AlratanMobile> I doubt we can take care of the mind
- [2011-12-11 04:22:28] <Arkeus> Anyway, AA12 by itself won't do squat
- [2011-12-11 04:22:35] <AlratanMobile> Yes it will
- [2011-12-11 04:22:36] <Arkeus> we need the DOOM round
- [2011-12-11 04:22:39] <AlratanMobile> No
- [2011-12-11 04:22:44] <Arkeus> or another way to concel his immortality
- [2011-12-11 04:23:08] <AlratanMobile> Target is to subdue him anyway
- [2011-12-11 04:23:15] <Arkeus> Sure it is <_<

- [2011-12-11 04:23:59] <AlratanMobile> Then we can approach close enough to put a doom round in him
- [2011-12-11 04:24:21] <AlratanMobile> We didn't have the upgraded Taste last time we fought
- [2011-12-11 04:24:36] <Arkeus> No, we had the matebas, and he didn't have his own gear
- [2011-12-11 04:24:43] <Arkeus> now he will have his gear
- [2011-12-11 04:25:29] <Arkeus> We can expect him to have a Artifact as well as quite a few magical items
- [2011-12-11 04:25:34] <AlratanMobile> Simply using his full abilities and expecting us to be a threat from the start is enough to kill us pretty trivially
- [2011-12-11 04:25:51] <AlratanMobile> If he gets anywhere close to us
- [2011-12-11 04:27:16] <AlratanMobile> A shapeshifting regenerating superfast superstrong opponent
- [2011-12-11 04:27:49] <AlratanMobile> Who can literally pop up in a crowd, tear us to shreds, and keep tearing until we stay dead

- [2011-12-11 21:23:08] <Guile> The trick would probably be abducting the curator, faking a change to the exhibit and an exchange to another museum, take it en-route, memory-wipe the curator and let him take the fall

- [2011-12-11 21:25:03] <A_Greedy_Squid> ...what details?
- [2011-12-11 21:25:09] <Guile> Okay, supernatural defenses. No illusion charm, just get a Curator-face mask. All tech.
- [2011-12-11 21:25:13] <Guile> fools the cameras, too
- [2011-12-11 21:25:26] <TheBeardiestBob> you mean the mask... UNDER a charm
- [2011-12-11 21:25:29] <Arkeus> Guile: darkening would make it damn easy
- [2011-12-11 21:25:41] <TheBeardiestBob> after all, the mask can fail if the voice doesn't match-and what if you're build's wrong?
- [2011-12-11 21:25:41] <TMIoverload> I think it has magical detection shit, so they'd be tracking our soul or someshit
- [2011-12-11 21:25:58] <TheBeardiestBob> I mean, 6'4" HUNGRY looking bodybuilder physique is not the norm for curators

- [2011-12-11 21:26:17] <Guile> true, that

- [2011-12-11 21:28:04] <Ironybot> Ah, speaking of horribly abusing innocents- Bob, what exactly does Shadowbro need in order to get another shadow? Obviously we could buy one, but to get the mere's shadow all he had to go was have us have it. If someone else willingly verbally agrees to give us their shadow, can he just take it and get a powerup?
- [2011-12-11 21:28:20] <Arkeus> wait wait wait
- [2011-12-11 21:28:24] <Arkeus> when did you arrive?
- [2011-12-11 21:28:27] <Arkeus> oh, right
- [2011-12-11 21:28:39] <Ironybot> It occurred to me yesterday that we could just go to a bar somewhere and get tipsy mundanes to sell us their shadows in exchange for a round of drinks.
- [2011-12-11 21:28:44] <Guile> might work - goblins can steal wierd things in a Deal, like voices and Names and shadows and things
- [2011-12-11 21:28:46] <Arkeus> Ironybot: btw, soul sculpting spirit animal = it's fine
- [2011-12-11 21:29:02] <Ironybot> Ah... "it's fine"? Did we think it would not be fine?
- [2011-12-11 21:29:10] <Arkeus> I think SB would have to LEARN to take it

- [2011-12-11 21:29:17] <Arkeus> Also, we would have to learn to make deals binding
- [2011-12-11 21:29:42] <Arkeus> ALSO, there is a reason why deals are OBVIOUS- people don't like it when you make deals that aren't obvious (obvious as being deals)
- [2011-12-11 21:29:46] <BUTTZ> Can you imagine the synchronized action bullshit we'll be able to do once we have the Heart of Clan Laine?
- [2011-12-11 21:29:49] <Arkeus> we may get killed real fast that way
- [2011-12-11 21:30:02] <TheBeardiestBob> Ironybot: you can actually have people 'sell' you their shadow now-but slight problem: completely mundane people lacking a shadow die due to health degradation as they become increasingly insomniatic and lose mental coherency. Death happens in about a month, usually.
- [2011-12-11 21:30:03] <Arkeus> <Ironybot> Ah... "it's fine"? Did we think it would not be fine? <= we talked about wheter it was taboo
- [2011-12-11 21:30:04] <Grail> I wonder how many children have sold their soul to another over a dollar or snack cake.
- [2011-12-11 21:30:04] <Arkeus> iirc
- [2011-12-11 21:30:12] <TheBeardiestBob> Having any magical capacity prevents this from occuring
- [2011-12-11 21:30:35] <Arkeus> BUTTZ: yeah
- [2011-12-11 21:30:41] <TMIoverload> Any magical capacity? That include any chakra capacity?
- [2011-12-11 21:30:48] <TheBeardiestBob> that is does
- [2011-12-11 21:30:51] <TheBeardiestBob> it does
- [2011-12-11 21:31:15] <Ironybot> So I don't recall ever thinking that soul sculpting spirit animals was taboo, since obviously all the Sami do it all the time. They'd have collectively run into a hell of a lot of trouble a long time ago if they couldn't do that.
- [2011-12-11 21:31:27] <TMIoverload> So if we used our SOul thingy to open and align others chakras, we could then buy someone's shadow without issue?
- [2011-12-11 21:31:31] <Arkeus> We didn't think it was, but Alratan did
- [2011-12-11 21:31:35] <Ironybot> Ah.
- [2011-12-11 21:31:37] <Arkeus> so it' good to have confirmation
- [2011-12-11 21:31:42] <Ironybot> He thinks a lot of things.
- [2011-12-11 21:31:42] <A_Greedy_Squid> Fuck them
- [2011-12-11 21:31:44] <A_Greedy_Squid> We dont care
- [2011-12-11 21:31:52] <Arkeus> Ironybot: our eye :-(
- [2011-12-11 21:32:21] <TheBeardiestBob> A new pain in Armas' repertoire. He's building quite an agony catalog.
- [2011-12-11 21:32:23] <Arkeus> But, yes, Ironybot: ifyou go and Make deals with tipsy people about buying important stuff, i'll SUST
- [2011-12-11 21:32:29] <Arkeus> it sounds extremely dangerous
- [2011-12-11 21:32:44] <Arkeus> That he is
- [2011-12-11 21:32:51] <Ironybot> It almost certainly is both dangerous and highly profitable.
- [2011-12-11 21:32:51] <A_Greedy_Squid> Good good, we need to...familiarize ourselves with pain
- [2011-12-11 21:33:00] <A_Greedy_Squid> And that almost everything can be regenerated
- [2011-12-11 21:33:01] <TMIoverload> I think the first thing we should do is learn to open others chakras.
- [2011-12-11 21:33:05] <TheBeardiestBob> get him some more diversity and Grim Gambler's Guts'll evolve
- [2011-12-11 21:33:09] <Ironybot> If we can get Shadowbro to learn memory manipulation, we can make the deals and then wipe their memories of it.
- [2011-12-11 21:33:12] <Guile> why, is our ultimate goal to be a nightmare chef assassin masochist?
- [2011-12-11 21:33:12] <Arkeus> lol bob
- [2011-12-11 21:33:16] <Arkeus> you are fun ;_;
- [2011-12-11 21:33:19] <Ironybot> Cover our tracks a bit.
- [2011-12-11 21:33:21] <TheBeardiestBob> and he'll have legitimately preternatural pain resistance.
- [2011-12-11 21:33:41] <Arkeus> Ironybot: there is a reason why Devils and Goblins are explicit about 'this is a deal'
- [2011-12-11 21:33:47] <Grail> Sadly this doesn't cover emotional pain
- [2011-12-11 21:33:49] <Arkeus> they certainly have memory magic, too
- [2011-12-11 21:33:49] <A_Greedy_Squid> But then again, with pain resistance, we won't even notice injuries...
- [2011-12-11 21:33:49] <TheBeardiestBob> I think the first thing you should learn is how to manage your OWN chakras
- [2011-12-11 21:34:01] <Arkeus> yep
- [2011-12-11 21:34:06] <Arkeus> Get lessons :-(

- [2011-12-11 21:34:38] <A_Greedy_Squid> Is it grave, doctor?
- [2011-12-11 21:34:46] <Arkeus> Will learning dunter footwork or teaching gobbos training decay our bloodline more, bob?
- [2011-12-11 21:34:55] <TheBeardiestBob> Squid, he died thirty five minutes ago

- [2011-12-11 21:36:36] <TheBeardiestBob> And doing that in melee range
- [2011-12-11 21:36:39] <Grail> GfH
- [2011-12-11 21:36:43] <Arkeus> bob: will learning dunter footwork or teaching gobbos in nn decay our bloodline (winter) more?
- [2011-12-11 21:36:44] <TheBeardiestBob> while still fighting back with kicks.
- [2011-12-11 21:36:49] <Arkeus> or doesn't it count?
- [2011-12-11 21:36:53] <A_Greedy_Squid> Good to see Rule of Cool still applies in GfH
- [2011-12-11 21:36:58] <Grail> The only quest where calligraphy is a real battle skill
- [2011-12-11 21:36:59] <TheBeardiestBob> it would count.
- [2011-12-11 21:37:01] <Arkeus> Damnit lo fang
- [2011-12-11 21:37:03] <Arkeus> you are awesome
- [2011-12-11 21:37:15] <Arkeus> too bad (lol) we'll get our butt kicked by you
- [2011-12-11 21:37:35] <Arkeus> mmmh ok, so no teaching gobbos/footwork before bloodline
- [2011-12-11 21:37:54] <TheBeardiestBob> Well he's built his chakra use in a way Camella'd drool over-he's all about detection and proper analysis, as close to a natural sensor as possible. With all that battle experience-it's kinda 'I've seen that move before-and I've seen it done better, whelp!'
- [2011-12-11 21:38:08] <Arkeus> lol
- [2011-12-11 21:38:18] <A_Greedy_Squid> How much potential have we lost in our bloodline? We only know it's "slowly" degrading...
- [2011-12-11 21:38:33] <TheBeardiestBob> Find out for yourself in quest somehow.
- [2011-12-11 21:38:41] <Grail> I can't imagine we've lost much.
- [2011-12-11 21:38:47] <Arkeus> bob, we talked last night about haggling for a bonus for whatever we take at the auction: for them to kill some einher for us
- [2011-12-11 21:38:49] <Arkeus> feasible?
- [2011-12-11 21:38:50] <TMIoverload> So, magic bullet for Darkening from the auction?
- [2011-12-11 21:38:57] <TMIoverload> That possible?
- [2011-12-11 21:38:58] <BUTTZ> Amen would be able to tell
- [2011-12-11 21:39:12] <A_Greedy_Squid> Well yeah, Since Amen is MAD enough to see our soul...
- [2011-12-11 21:39:17] <TheBeardiestBob> Yeah I guess, but you could also buy such a thing as a commission from Johann
- [2011-12-11 21:39:29] <Arkeus> Don't we need a einher question first?
- [2011-12-11 21:39:39] <Grail> Couple dozen thousand?
- [2011-12-11 21:39:43] <A_Greedy_Squid> ...Johann can choose which ability to activate?
- [2011-12-11 21:39:44] <Guile> Not really. We'd need an einher question to be SURE we'd get Darkening
- [2011-12-11 21:40:00] <Guile> but we can fire a shot into our mouth at almost any time
- [2011-12-11 21:40:03] <Arkeus> Guile: for johan making the bullet
- [2011-12-11 21:40:31] <Grail> But yeah is Johan capable of making the bullet right now, if he was briefed with the situation?
- [2011-12-11 21:40:42] <Grail> And if so how long would it take him to devise the correct bullet?
- [2011-12-11 21:40:50] <TheBeardiestBob> Yes, but it'd cost around $100k
- [2011-12-11 21:40:54] <Grail> Fund it
- [2011-12-11 21:41:01] <Arkeus> yeah, let's do it
- [2011-12-11 21:41:07] <Arkeus> how long would it take him?
- [2011-12-11 21:41:16] <TheBeardiestBob> and two weeks, a week and two days if you pay an extra 30k to get him to put everything else aside.
- [2011-12-11 21:41:29] <BUTTZ> Man's expensive
- [2011-12-11 21:41:30] <Arkeus> Damnit :-(
- [2011-12-11 21:41:44] <Guile> He pretty close to corners the market in his niche
- [2011-12-11 21:41:45] <TheBeardiestBob> His is a well respected art.
- [2011-12-11 21:41:50] <Arkeus> Anyone has a plan for getting it faster?
- [2011-12-11 21:41:59] <Arkeus> yeah, what Guile said
- [2011-12-11 21:42:04] <TheBeardiestBob> Only Demonologist Gunsmith in town that can actually do NON Demonic gunwork as well.
- [2011-12-11 21:42:07] <TMIoverload> It's the time it'd take that I have a problem with
- [2011-12-11 21:42:10] <Guile> we could gather the materials ourselves if we wanna be cheap. still 100k
- [2011-12-11 21:42:18] <Ironybot> There are other demonologist gunsmiths in town?
- [2011-12-11 21:42:21] <Arkeus> I think we could sell the pistols to Ogrimir
- [2011-12-11 21:42:23] <Guile> or we could spend our favor from Lo Fang on smuggling
- [2011-12-11 21:42:41] <BUTTZ> We could, you know, not be so quick to trade off these awesome magic guns
- [2011-12-11 21:42:41] <TheBeardiestBob> There are two others at the moment-neither is as skilled or as respected as Johann
- [2011-12-11 21:42:45] <Grail> Goblins to gold
- [2011-12-11 21:42:50] <Arkeus> TheBeardiestBob: would sellign the pistols to ogrimir be enough for him to give us such a bullet + help us finalize the bloodline?.
- [2011-12-11 21:42:51] <BUTTZ> You guys want to keep trading the Four Seasons and I think that's dumb
- [2011-12-11 21:42:56] <Grail> So do I
- [2011-12-11 21:42:57] <BUTTZ> These are guns with the magic in the METAL
- [2011-12-11 21:43:07] <Grail> But that's pretty much Arkeus
- [2011-12-11 21:43:08] <Guile> I never got the info on what those do?
- [2011-12-11 21:43:10] <Grail> Who's suggesting it
- [2011-12-11 21:43:12] <TheBeardiestBob> Ogrimir isn't interested in buying shit from you-he's got his contract, that's what he cares about.
- [2011-12-11 21:43:13] <Grail> Over and over
- [2011-12-11 21:43:30] <Grail> They negate an entire season of magic
- [2011-12-11 21:43:31] <Arkeus> mmh ok
- [2011-12-11 21:43:31] <TheBeardiestBob> just like Rabbit doesn't take solicitors-but GAMBLES with an interesting wager, that's a different thing.
- [2011-12-11 21:43:41] <Arkeus> Interesting
- [2011-12-11 21:43:44] <Grail> Shoot a guy using summer magic with the summer gun?
- [2011-12-11 21:43:53] <Grail> Oh hey why aren't you regenerating or shooting fire at me?
- [2011-12-11 21:44:12] <Guile> neat. so it wouldnt help against chakra-users, but bloodlines and fae... solid. Very solid.
- [2011-12-11 21:44:23] <Arkeus> Yeah, they are really powerful
- [2011-12-11 21:44:29] <Guile> Doony, say hello to my Summer gun
- [2011-12-11 21:44:32] <Arkeus> i expect it would kill Armas to use the summer or winter one, though
- [2011-12-11 21:44:46] <TheBeardiestBob> It's a similar 'three level' suppressor to the Taste.
- [2011-12-11 21:44:57] <TheBeardiestBob> the four are, that is
- [2011-12-11 21:45:02] <Guile> What happens if one person is shot with all four simultaneously? Considering how our winter and summer react to each other...
- [2011-12-11 21:45:07] <TMIoverload> Only three levels? Does the summer one stack with taste for that?
- [2011-12-11 21:45:20] <TheBeardiestBob> On Doony? Yes it would
- [2011-12-11 21:45:22] <TheBeardiestBob> man
- [2011-12-11 21:45:23] <A_Greedy_Squid> >TheBeardiestBob just like Rabbit doesn't take solicitors-but GAMBLES with an interesting wager, that's a different thing.
- [2011-12-11 21:45:24] <A_Greedy_Squid> HEHEHEHEHE
- [2011-12-11 21:45:25] <TheBeardiestBob> that would fuck him up
- [2011-12-11 21:45:31] <Arkeus> hehe
- [2011-12-11 21:45:33] <Arkeus> nice
- [2011-12-11 21:45:46] <TheBeardiestBob> six total levels of regenerative suppression.
- [2011-12-11 21:45:48] <Ironybot> Damn, we still haven't gotten any news on what Einrik told Camella and we were hanging out around here all night.
- [2011-12-11 21:45:51] <Shifter29> It's lower than 6, his regen is?
- [2011-12-11 21:45:56] <Guile> yeah, we got a solid plan for taking him on if we can get him to a location of our choice
- [2011-12-11 21:46:03] <Arkeus> So, it seems if we go Darkening, it will take at least a week and a bit for the bloodline to be done
- [2011-12-11 21:46:05] <TMIoverload> I think his was six or seven, but I could be wrong
- [2011-12-11 21:46:07] <Ironybot> They seem to have immediately become fast friends, though.
- [2011-12-11 21:46:10] <A_Greedy_Squid> So...let's go GAMBLIN' with Kyubey
- [2011-12-11 21:46:21] <Arkeus> yeah, they seem to
- [2011-12-11 21:46:22] <Ironybot> Diminutive names and all.
- [2011-12-11 21:46:43] <TheBeardiestBob> 'Rik has become her platonic favorite non-familial uncle. It's an italian thing.
- [2011-12-11 21:46:54] <Arkeus> TheBeardiestBob: if we had a question for Ogrimir, would johan be able to make the bullet faster?
- [2011-12-11 21:46:59] <Arkeus> lol bob
- [2011-12-11 21:47:00] <Arkeus> :D
- [2011-12-11 21:47:02] <TheBeardiestBob> Or at least, very commonly found in italy
- [2011-12-11 21:47:09] <Guile> Ark, that is a waste of a question
- [2011-12-11 21:47:17] <Arkeus> Guile: yeah, i agree
- [2011-12-11 21:47:19] <Guile> not that we have an einher on-hand
- [2011-12-11 21:47:24] <Grail> Right well we need money
- [2011-12-11 21:47:33] <Arkeus> I would much rather spend one on trying to maximize the finalization
- [2011-12-11 21:47:34] <Grail> We need to sell things for goblin gold
- [2011-12-11 21:47:39] <Arkeus> mayube get a bonus on those rolls
- [2011-12-11 21:47:40] <Grail> Gunner's arrows
- [2011-12-11 21:47:41] <TMIoverload> I disagree. Grabbing Draconic level soul stealth before our bloodline degrades too much would be good
- [2011-12-11 21:48:04] <Grail> What else do we have to sell?
- [2011-12-11 21:48:22] <Arkeus> The book, maybe
- [2011-12-11 21:48:26] <TMIoverload> Hate gun I guess. i want the blunderbuss for Sake
- [2011-12-11 21:48:27] <Arkeus> mmh
- [2011-12-11 21:48:33] <Guile> punt gun
- [2011-12-11 21:48:36] <Grail> Nah
- [2011-12-11 21:48:37] <Arkeus> Hate gun is not for sale
- [2011-12-11 21:48:44] <Grail> The Punt Gun is useful to the Redcaps
- [2011-12-11 21:48:45] <Arkeus> it's Locke
- [2011-12-11 21:48:48] <Grail> It's worth the training session
- [2011-12-11 21:48:50] <A_Greedy_Squid> We should gift one of Gunner's arrow quivers to BC because racism
- [2011-12-11 21:48:55] <A_Greedy_Squid> He's got 3 arrow quivers
- [2011-12-11 21:48:59] <A_Greedy_Squid> I mean, WE
- [2011-12-11 21:49:00] <Ironybot> He became Camella's uncle in the space of like three hours after meeting her? Damn. Man's more suave than we give him credit for.
- [2011-12-11 21:49:20] <Guile> I think its time we face up to the fact that Einrik is just a better Armas than Armas is
- [2011-12-11 21:49:22] <TMIoverload> Locke is dead and giving a hate gun to a kid is stupid
- [2011-12-11 21:49:28] <Arkeus> We could sell info for money to SM, i think
- [2011-12-11 21:49:38] <Arkeus> TMIoverload: for later on
- [2011-12-11 21:49:42] <TheBeardiestBob> He has a way with the wild-eyed.
- [2011-12-11 21:49:46] <Arkeus> unless we can make him something better
- [2011-12-11 21:49:48] <Arkeus> ahhaha
- [2011-12-11 21:49:51] <Arkeus> Oh, Einrik
- [2011-12-11 21:49:54] <A_Greedy_Squid> Bob: D'ohohohoho
- [2011-12-11 21:50:01] <TMIoverload> No, that's still stupid. A hate-gun is not some nice gift
- [2011-12-11 21:50:08] <A_Greedy_Squid> >Hate-gun
- [2011-12-11 21:50:09] <A_Greedy_Squid> >Child
- [2011-12-11 21:50:10] <A_Greedy_Squid> WAT
- [2011-12-11 21:50:16] <TheBeardiestBob> No but really Camella's player's all over him so what can I say?
- [2011-12-11 21:50:19] <Ironybot> Children can hate very well.
- [2011-12-11 21:50:20] <Guile> Sell the hate gun, use the money to make him the best toy the Svartelves can produce, tell him IT's an heirloom of his dad's?
- [2011-12-11 21:50:24] <Ironybot> Just sayin'.
- [2011-12-11 21:50:24] <A_Greedy_Squid> Child gets grumpy after being grounded, GOES ON RAMPAGE
- [2011-12-11 21:50:44] <Guile> Uh, we'd be leaving it in trust with his guardians until age of majority
- [2011-12-11 21:50:48] <Guile> Armas has SOME sense
- [2011-12-11 21:50:49] <A_Greedy_Squid> 'No pudding, sir? WELL FUCK YOU!'
- [2011-12-11 21:51:01] <Grail> I am a bit worried
- [2011-12-11 21:51:03] <Guile> ... maybe. Unless he thought child-rampage would be funny.
- [2011-12-11 21:51:05] <Ironybot> Anyway, ultimately it doesn't matter what it is, inherited items are important for other reasons.
- [2011-12-11 21:51:06] <Grail> Tell a kid his father died for a gun
- [2011-12-11 21:51:11] <Grail> Show him a gun that fires pure HATE
- [2011-12-11 21:51:12] <TheBeardiestBob> A toy that would forcibly drain his chakras and tax his soul while he holds it-all while using that energy to fuel making him feel secure? A trollish, training security blanket toy?
- [2011-12-11 21:51:28] <Grail> What does he think of his father?
- [2011-12-11 21:51:29] <Arkeus> lol
- [2011-12-11 21:51:37] <Ironybot> How heavily does it tax the soul?
- [2011-12-11 21:51:52] <TheBeardiestBob> Well it'd depend on how you built it, wouldn't it.
- [2011-12-11 21:51:54] <Guile> Did we just get that kid addicted to a blankie? I think we did
- [2011-12-11 21:52:00] <Grail> Would the taxing make his soul weaker in the end?
- [2011-12-11 21:52:01] <Ironybot> True.
- [2011-12-11 21:52:03] <Grail> Or stronger?
- [2011-12-11 21:52:04] <TMIoverload> Since he said training, just enough that you'll never die sounds best
- [2011-12-11 21:52:06] <Grail> From the strain.
- [2011-12-11 21:52:07] <A_Greedy_Squid> MY PRECIOUSSSSSSS
- [2011-12-11 21:52:54] <TheBeardiestBob> IF you properly tailored the item to the child....
- [2011-12-11 21:53:03] <Guile> So 15 years from now something tries to om nom him - a dozen years of slow protection magic buildup turns it into a crispy critter
- [2011-12-11 21:53:12] <Arkeus> lol
- [2011-12-11 21:53:19] <Guile> "Hey kid, come down into this sewer with me, it'll be fun!"
- [2011-12-11 21:53:44] <A_Greedy_Squid> We should dress up as the IT clown
- [2011-12-11 21:53:48] <TMIoverload> Who the hell posted the ingrown twin thing in Disc?
- [2011-12-11 21:53:52] <A_Greedy_Squid> For the sewer scene
- [2011-12-11 21:53:56] <Arkeus> but yeah, 130k for getting it in a week and 2 days
- [2011-12-11 21:53:57] <Arkeus> mmh
- [2011-12-11 21:54:03] <Arkeus> should be feasible
- [2011-12-11 21:54:17] <A_Greedy_Squid> "Feasible"-one of Armas' favorite words
- [2011-12-11 21:54:21] <Dart666> could we just buy enough luck to get the super-lurk?
- [2011-12-11 21:54:21] <Guile> This may be the worst plan we've ever come up with. And that's including stealing sperm
- [2011-12-11 21:54:29] <TheBeardiestBob> (Based off remeasuring at age 17, twelve years from now) You could be looking at a soul that's got an extra decade more weight than peers similarly coming of age, as well as chakra's as used to strain and abuse as a veteran, and as open as an apprentice' without any prior use. Their soul as a whole would be on average half again as large as it would have bee
- [2011-12-11 21:54:30] <A_Greedy_Squid> nonono
- [2011-12-11 21:54:32] <TheBeardiestBob> n.
- [2011-12-11 21:54:37] <TMIoverload> Oh shit, one time luck for the gamble
- [2011-12-11 21:54:38] <A_Greedy_Squid> Bob: What could SB do if we "purchased" some shadows? Does "owning" another person's shadow count as taboo already?
- [2011-12-11 21:54:46] <A_Greedy_Squid> ...someone said Gamble?
- [2011-12-11 21:54:55] <Arkeus> nice
- [2011-12-11 21:55:14] <TMIoverload> How much would enough one shot luck for that be Bob?
- [2011-12-11 21:56:02] <TheBeardiestBob> That would be singularly hard to acquire, with how hard Trick is to sense for any but it's owner.
- [2011-12-11 21:56:48] -->| Samar_ (~mabinogi@Rizon-8D3F6048.hsd1.md.comcast.net) has joined #golemquest
- [2011-12-11 21:57:08] <TMIoverload> Hmm, how about enough general luck rented out for the amount of time it'd take for us to shoot ourselves?
- [2011-12-11 21:57:42] <BUTTZ> Stealing sperm?
- [2011-12-11 21:57:56] <BUTTZ> Does this relate to the flesh titans?
- [2011-12-11 21:57:59] |<-- Samar has left irc.rizon.net (Ping timeout: 240 seconds)
- [2011-12-11 21:58:00] <Guile> MrTT, Buttz
- [2011-12-11 21:58:11] <Arkeus> TMIoverload: that's... not a bad idea
- [2011-12-11 21:58:14] =-= Samar_ is now known as Samar
- [2011-12-11 21:58:14] <A_Greedy_Squid> No, the best worst plan we ever came up with was MaidAmens. That's right, in PLURAL FORM
- [2011-12-11 21:58:23] <Guile> Basically, wining and dining, then literally jacking a Border member of their vital fluid
- [2011-12-11 21:58:27] <Guile> hopefully not personally
- [2011-12-11 21:58:54] <A_Greedy_Squid> Or...you know, we could just cut him a bit while he's drunk/passed out
- [2011-12-11 21:58:56] <BUTTZ> You're saying Armas is a prude?
- [2011-12-11 22:00:15] <TMIoverload> ...I wonder how much permanent luck we could get at the auction...
- [2011-12-11 22:00:53] <Arkeus> I am pretty sure Camella has a luck trait
- [2011-12-11 22:00:54] <Arkeus> :-
- [2011-12-11 22:00:59] <A_Greedy_Squid> ...
- [2011-12-11 22:01:07] <A_Greedy_Squid> Then we need to Gamble with her
- [2011-12-11 22:01:16] <Guile> No, just hopefully not a whore, Buttz
- [2011-12-11 22:01:38] <BUTTZ> You have NO idea what Ogrimir is going to have Armas do
- [2011-12-11 22:01:47] <Guile> Hence the 'hope'
- [2011-12-11 22:01:49] <Arkeus> you do?
- [2011-12-11 22:02:19] <TheBeardiestBob> I have been forced to give her a luck level three trait, as she's sustained such statistically unlikely high rolling averages
- [2011-12-11 22:02:28] <Arkeus> :_:
- [2011-12-11 22:02:32] <Arkeus> wow
- [2011-12-11 22:02:34] <TheBeardiestBob> That's ON TOP of prodigal skills and such
- [2011-12-11 22:02:37] <A_Greedy_Squid> ....
- [2011-12-11 22:02:39] <A_Greedy_Squid> WE NEED THAT TRAIT
- [2011-12-11 22:02:41] <A_Greedy_Squid> WE NEED THAT LUCK
- [2011-12-11 22:02:42] <TheBeardiestBob> It's... a bit distressing
- [2011-12-11 22:02:42] <Arkeus> That's... pretty great
- [2011-12-11 22:02:52] <BUTTZ> We've got other things going for us
- [2011-12-11 22:02:53] <Arkeus> Yeah, Camella is doing well
- [2011-12-11 22:02:54] <Guile> simmer down, squid
- [2011-12-11 22:03:05] <TMIoverload> How fast is that trait gaining XP?
- [2011-12-11 22:03:06] <TheBeardiestBob> I'm not comparing her against Armas
- [2011-12-11 22:03:07] <TheBeardiestBob> my issue
- [2011-12-11 22:03:10] <BUTTZ> She's not going to eat that heart, is she?
- [2011-12-11 22:03:22] <TheBeardiestBob> is that she's becoming more capable of pulling off unreasonable wins than any other character.
- [2011-12-11 22:03:30] <Guile> The reponse of a NORMAL person to being given a beating heart is not to eat it, Buttz
- [2011-12-11 22:03:35] <BUTTZ> So, cheat a little Bob
- [2011-12-11 22:03:43] <Arkeus> I thought that was the point of her character?
- [2011-12-11 22:03:48] <BUTTZ> You're the GM, that's your right. Your duty.
- [2011-12-11 22:03:50] <Grail> Or use new dice rolling programs
- [2011-12-11 22:03:53] <Grail> Seriously
- [2011-12-11 22:03:56] <Grail> Just cycle through them
- [2011-12-11 22:04:00] <TheBeardiestBob> I've had her switch three tiems
- [2011-12-11 22:04:02] <Arkeus> I had gotten the impression you had given ther special abilities to make her able to win impossible wins
- [2011-12-11 22:04:05] <TheBeardiestBob> and the luck stayed
- [2011-12-11 22:04:11] <Arkeus> her
- [2011-12-11 22:04:30] <TheBeardiestBob> no, she's just rolled well enough that it's become her thing, and she's PRACTICED at it
- [2011-12-11 22:04:32] <TMIoverload> Force her into a riddle contest with something deathless
- [2011-12-11 22:04:42] <TheBeardiestBob> different from having a special trait-this is flat experience accrual
- [2011-12-11 22:04:59] <Grail> Eh at this point I'm just ignoring it.
- [2011-12-11 22:05:00] <A_Greedy_Squid> She's so good at dice
- [2011-12-11 22:05:04] <A_Greedy_Squid> I'm so jealous
- [2011-12-11 22:05:14] <Grail> As at least in my mind Camella doesn't make sense
- [2011-12-11 22:05:21] <Grail> At least in this type of setting.
- [2011-12-11 22:05:23] <Arkeus> Neither in mine, actually
- [2011-12-11 22:05:25] <Arkeus> yeah
- [2011-12-11 22:05:51] <Arkeus> I had really gotten the impression you had chosen to give her reality-warping power as she is a 'outsider'
- [2011-12-11 22:06:01] <Arkeus> so that she can compete as a human
- [2011-12-11 22:06:49] <TheBeardiestBob> ....That's surprisingly close to the mark in a certain sense.
- [2011-12-11 22:07:17] <Arkeus> Well, the whole 'they came from the east' is a enormous flafg
- [2011-12-11 22:07:28] <TheBeardiestBob> She came from a magic-less setting, and has had rapid magic growth in her own way-without bloodlines and only limited chakra control, she's remolded her own soul. Think about that for a moment.
- [2011-12-11 22:07:36] <Arkeus> The wya the only people who may have had her spirit sensing ability coming from mongolia?
- [2011-12-11 22:07:44] <Arkeus> sure they weren't coming from another world ^^;
- [2011-12-11 22:08:10] <TheBeardiestBob> I'm explaining her good luck as 'had her world not been magicless, she would have been a once in a generation prodigal magician or possibly wizard that seriously altered the magic world.'
- [2011-12-11 22:08:18] <A_Greedy_Squid> Camella, you're so full of H4X
- [2011-12-11 22:08:22] <TheBeardiestBob> And that way if her luck fails
- [2011-12-11 22:08:42] <TheBeardiestBob> I can explain it as 'her connection to her old prowess fades in this new world, where her other self is much less talented.'
- [2011-12-11 22:08:48] <Arkeus> mmmh, interesting
- [2011-12-11 22:09:18] <BUTTZ> We should have gotten her that painting
- [2011-12-11 22:09:20] <A_Greedy_Squid> I still don't see how she views us as someone full of H4X too
- [2011-12-11 22:09:30] <A_Greedy_Squid> She's got even more herself
- [2011-12-11 22:09:48] <Ironybot> So, completely different topic: Can we help Whaitiri eat all the other still-existing Maori gods so that she can gain their powers/portfolios and become the supreme god of the Maori people?
- [2011-12-11 22:09:54] <Arkeus> Bah, the relationship between PC is really skewed
- [2011-12-11 22:10:22] <Arkeus> with the way BC is calling us a freak of nature when he was the one with spirit animal, and is the one who chose a power that can kill him at any time
- [2011-12-11 22:10:25] <TheBeardiestBob> Ironybot: I suppose, if you wanted to start a divine war that reached beyond the Maori pantheon
- [2011-12-11 22:10:31] <Arkeus> and he doesn't know about our cannibalism
- [2011-12-11 22:11:00] <Ironybot> Damn. Not terribly feasible, then, even as a long-term plan. Unless we can somehow rig the war to come out on top.
- [2011-12-11 22:11:49] <Ironybot> I was hoping that the Maori were obscure enough that they could have some internal pantheon rearrangement without attracting too much external attention.
- [2011-12-11 22:11:56] <Arkeus> heh
- [2011-12-11 22:12:16] <Grail> It's not
- [2011-12-11 22:12:20] <Arkeus> I am still amused by the idea of Lammy being less subtle than us
- [2011-12-11 22:12:29] <Grail> And it's rather interconnected with other Polynesian pantheons
- [2011-12-11 22:13:20] <TheBeardiestBob> Also, Armas isn't that far from $200k now
- [2011-12-11 22:13:25] <TheBeardiestBob> he'd doing kinda sorta okay
- [2011-12-11 22:13:28] <TheBeardiestBob> NOW MAKE MORE
- [2011-12-11 22:13:41] <Arkeus> We just need to give 130k for bloodline
- [2011-12-11 22:14:01] <Arkeus> Urgh, waiting another week, damn it
- [2011-12-11 22:14:13] <Arkeus> Maytbe we could find a way to stop the decaying, but...
- [2011-12-11 22:14:16] <Arkeus> So, bob
- [2011-12-11 22:14:32] <Arkeus> TMI's idea of spiking our luck fo the time to shoot at ourself, feeasible?

- [2011-12-11 22:15:26] <A_Greedy_Squid> With 4 million from Lo Fang...
- [2011-12-11 22:15:31] <Arkeus> Gun related, nice

- [2011-12-11 22:16:15] <Arkeus> Ironybot: good idea
- [2011-12-11 22:16:26] <A_Greedy_Squid> Darkening, Gravity, Darkening, Gravity, Darkening, SOUL-SCALE to finish him
- [2011-12-11 22:16:45] <Arkeus> I think it could work well enough
- [2011-12-11 22:17:01] <Arkeus> We might even have enough info for SM to give it to us this morning
- [2011-12-11 22:17:27] <Ironybot> Side note, buying a charm or something which we can burn for a minute or thirty seconds of luck like that could be a battle-winner.
- [2011-12-11 22:17:43] <Ironybot> Unfortunately it would be so expensive that we'd probably come out to a net loss on most battles.

- [2011-12-11 22:31:07] <Ironybot> Speaking of our eyes exploding, how bad was that? Did we take hits other than the power required to regenerate our eyes from that? Magical saturation in them now gone, or our powers on the fritz again, something like that?

- [2011-12-11 22:34:29] <Ironybot> One would think that gambler gods would think luck enhancement is hilarious. Every serious gambler believes in cheating their way to victory.
- [2011-12-11 22:34:47] <Arkeus> That's what i think irony
- [2011-12-11 22:34:49] <Guile> things can be hilarious when they happen to other people
- [2011-12-11 22:34:52] <Arkeus> but some don't like OTHER vheating
- [2011-12-11 22:34:53] <Shifter29> There is a difference between "luck" enhancement and fortune enhancement... so why not go for the latter?
- [2011-12-11 22:35:09] <Ironybot> I don't think I fully grasp the distinction. Clarify?
- [2011-12-11 22:35:14] <Arkeus> anyway, back to bed
- [2011-12-11 22:35:35] <Guile> fortune is luck in the matter of, well, fortunes, yes? The gaining and losing thereof
- [2011-12-11 22:35:43] <Shifter29> Luck is some weird-ass attribute based on your soul or whatever.
- [2011-12-11 22:35:56] <Shifter29> Fortune is the odds of an event occuring.
- [2011-12-11 22:36:42] <Shifter29> Though it is commonly referred to as a negative form of luck.
- [2011-12-11 22:37:13] <Grail> I bet there are Irish luck bloodlines
- [2011-12-11 22:37:23] <Guile> where are you getting this from, Shifter?
- [2011-12-11 22:37:49] <Shifter29> The dark. :P
- [2011-12-11 22:38:43] <Shifter29> But fortune is essentially the choices of people constrained by a situation interacting with each-other.
- [2011-12-11 22:40:04] <Shifter29> There is a difference between having the misfortune to be mugged 3 times in a week and being unlucky enough to have the same thing happen.

- [2011-12-11 22:47:44] <Ironybot> They used to give messenger pigeons medals, too. Purple Hearts in particular, if they arrived wounded.
- [2011-12-11 22:48:55] <Guile> We must breed an entire flock of souled pigeons

- [2011-12-11 22:49:43] <Ironybot> I'm pretty sure that our plans for the mass production of souled animals have been tabled until either we're rich or get an appropriately wealthy backer.
- [2011-12-11 22:50:05] <Guile> "Amen... Release the Summer pigeons!" Flaming pigeonshit everywhere while Armas laughs and laughs and laughs
- [2011-12-11 22:50:45] <Ironybot> Although now that you bring Amen into it, he'd probably get a kick out of torturing animals by putting them through usually-lethal hardships until some souls pop up.
- [2011-12-11 22:51:05] <Ironybot> Could have him run a cottage industry in the basement.
- [2011-12-11 22:51:36] <Shifter29> And some pigeons may gain his favour, not even god can help those ones...
- [2011-12-11 22:52:14] <Guile> Of course, with Amen involved it all goes horribly wrong and Istanbul becomes overrun with blood-pigeons the size of cars or something
- [2011-12-11 22:52:47] <Shifter29> And pigeon-mounted Russians.
- [2011-12-11 22:54:07] <Ironybot> So if Camella comes from a dimension with no magic- if we sent her home somehow, or someone else from our dimension went to her place, would all their magic go away? Certainly they wouldn't be able to draw on the nevernever for power anymore.

- [2011-12-11 22:54:43] <Ironybot> Or would it be like being in space, where they can use magic but only until they run out of the power they brought with them?
- [2011-12-11 22:55:06] <TheBeardiestBob> Well the worms were their first contact-magic has begun to contaminate their world.
- [2011-12-11 22:56:07] <Ironybot> ...so there's an entire world over there with magic but no history of using it, just ripe for the taking by whoever moves in and starts setting themselves up as in charge?

- [2011-12-11 23:04:13] <Ironybot> I wonder, if we have the heart plan going, maybe we could reinforce the connection enough that it would let us teleport across the dimensional barriers so long as we had another member of the net on the other side to home in on.
- [2011-12-11 23:04:34] <Ironybot> Might work, might not. Would almost certainly require some very specialized tweaking.
- [2011-12-11 23:09:57] <Ironybot> Hrm. If her world has new magic in it, does that mean that Belief is just starting to accrue from the whole populace right now, in the past couple months? Meaning that before long the whole world will start filling with newborn baby gods? Shit, they're going to have gigantic problems on their hands in very short order.
- [2011-12-11 23:11:47] <Shifter29> Yes, even worse ones than the current magical world we live in...
- [2011-12-11 23:12:16] <TheBeardiestBob> That is correct Irony
- [2011-12-11 23:12:26] <TheBeardiestBob> I'm going to go play games now I think
- [2011-12-11 23:12:27] <TheBeardiestBob> later
- [2011-12-11 23:12:30] |<-- TheBeardiestBob has left irc.rizon.net (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
- [2011-12-11 23:12:54] <Ironybot> There'll be no established interests to keep them down. And the modern world has some very nasty sensibilities compared to the old one in many ways, with a lot of rather ugly Belief flying around.
- [2011-12-11 23:14:02] <Ironybot> We might honestly have a reasonable argument that the other world would be better off with us going there and trying to take over and keep the problems down than it would be otherwise.
- [2011-12-11 23:15:03] <Shifter29> Everyone in this world would but altogether OR alone that would not happen.
- [2011-12-11 23:15:58] <Ironybot> Hrm?
- [2011-12-11 23:17:35] <Dart666> and the best way of doing it would be by eating baby gods
- [2011-12-11 23:19:38] <Ironybot> Actually Armas would personally have serious problems in Camella's world, since he couldn't get constant deliveries of huge quantities of magical meat. His Hunger might rapidly grow unmanageable unless her shifts to regular cannibalism, which is obviously a PR nightmare.
- [2011-12-11 23:20:00] <Ironybot> Eating baby gods might work, of course. Like delicious veal.
- [2011-12-11 23:20:12] <Dart666> we could just eat souls
- [2011-12-11 23:20:27] <Ironybot> That could work too, but it's basically eating people.
- [2011-12-11 23:20:58] <Dart666> in fact we wouldn't have to worry about any rules
- [2011-12-11 23:21:28] <Ironybot> Except the fact that we would be trying to establish a reputation as something other than a horrible man-eating monster.
- [2011-12-11 23:21:41] <Dart666> since there wouldn't have anybody capable of stopping us
- [2011-12-11 23:21:48] <Samar> good thing there's no one around who can see that we eat souls huh?
- [2011-12-11 23:22:13] <Dart666> ^
- [2011-12-11 23:22:38] <Ironybot> Well, any of the baby gods could probably pick up on it. Gods all have soul-o-vision, I'm pretty sure.

- [2011-12-11 23:26:02] <Dart666> the baby god's will be busy being babies and fighting each others
- [2011-12-11 23:26:12] =-= Samar_ is now known as Samar
- [2011-12-11 23:26:29] <Ironybot> I don't know about that. Some of them will likely be stupidly powerful, very quickly. The gods that billions believe in.
- [2011-12-11 23:27:00] <Dart666> also the tabus about souls wouldn't be in place
- [2011-12-11 23:27:05] <Ironybot> They might have no experience but sometimes power is all you need for success- or for hubris.
- [2011-12-11 23:27:45] <Ironybot> The formal rules against soul manipulation might not be in place, but there would still be the mundanes' reaction to "he ate that guy's soul" which others would be able to exploit.

- [2011-12-11 23:40:37] <Shifter29> As he's an Eldritch-type we probably would...

- [2011-12-11 23:43:05] <MrTT> i... would like to have einrik and maybe amen inspect the russians who went to lo fang for signs of tampering
- [2011-12-11 23:43:20] |<-- Samar has left irc.rizon.net (Ping timeout: 240 seconds)
- [2011-12-11 23:43:21] <MrTT> Since we deduced he must magically instill loyalty in his subordinates
- [2011-12-11 23:43:30] <MrTT> although... no i am just being paranoid
- [2011-12-11 23:43:45] <MrTT> he hasn't tried to do that to armas yet... or amen would have told us so
- [2011-12-11 23:43:53] <MrTT> or maybe he has done it before we got amen
- [2011-12-11 23:43:57] <MrTT> and hasn't bothered again
- [2011-12-11 23:43:58] <MrTT> damn
- [2011-12-11 23:45:14] <Samar2> so you mean like a "sleeper agent" type spell?
- [2011-12-11 23:45:39] <MrTT> yes
- [2011-12-11 23:46:13] <MrTT> in character we have our suspecions... out of character we were told lo fang uses subtle mind control
- [2011-12-11 23:46:40] <MrTT> although that was more confirmation of our in character suspecions
- [2011-12-11 23:47:03] <MrTT> then again, he probably doesn't have time to do so with every contractor
- [2011-12-11 23:47:09] <BUTTZ> Has Armas used Te Reo in front of anyone to issue commands besides in front of Hillevi?
- [2011-12-11 23:47:15] <MrTT> oh duh
- [2011-12-11 23:47:22] <MrTT> we can just ask if they actually personally saw lo fang
- [2011-12-11 23:47:24] <MrTT> most likely didn't
- [2011-12-11 23:47:31] <Ironybot> We know they did.
- [2011-12-11 23:47:44] <Ironybot> Hell, Matvey handed him the phone.
- [2011-12-11 23:48:04] <Shifter29> And their reaction was... yep let's check them.
- [2011-12-11 23:50:51] <Samar2> given bob's rather.. strange method of explaining away the Matvey third person typo, I am inclined to believe we may want to look into the possibility, but in a way that PARANOIA POWER LEVELING does not happen.
- [2011-12-11 23:51:31] <Grail> Going to sleep
- [2011-12-11 23:51:36] |<-- Grail has left irc.rizon.net (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
- [2011-12-11 23:51:58] <Ironybot> How did he explain it away?
- [2011-12-11 23:52:41] <MrTT> alright so... armas assigned his chakra (soul, winter) to soul sight and it blew up his eye... since his body is suffused with summer... some reason general suffusion as per ito does not do it... and that is good...
- [2011-12-11 23:52:47] <MrTT> but... this gives me an idea for a death touch
- [2011-12-11 23:53:05] <MrTT> push our winter chakra into a summer being in such a manner to make them burst
- [2011-12-11 23:53:12] <MrTT> a touch of death attack
- [2011-12-11 23:53:19] <MrTT> we will need to capture a summer creature to experiment on
- [2011-12-11 23:53:23] <MrTT> or have amen clone one
