  8. [2012-10-20 21:17:58] <PriceisMagic> Hey Falconis, when did you get on?
  9. [2012-10-20 21:18:23] <Juroko> few moments ago
  10. [2012-10-20 21:18:39] <Falconis> quantum logging on
  11. [2012-10-20 21:19:11] <Juroko> So, what shall we do this fall night?
  12. [2012-10-20 21:20:23] <Falconis> sleep?
  13. [2012-10-20 21:20:25] <Falconis> <_<
  14. [2012-10-20 21:20:26] <Falconis> >_>
  15. [2012-10-20 21:20:35] <Falconis> it's fall?
  16. [2012-10-20 21:20:37] <Falconis> huh
  17. [2012-10-20 21:20:38] <Falconis> ok
  18. [2012-10-20 21:21:44] <Falconis> im here if needed
  19. [2012-10-20 21:23:35] |<-- PriceisMagic has left irc.rizon.net ()
  20. [2012-10-20 21:23:51] <Juroko> Well, if you wish to do some Baran Doban, let me know.
  21. [2012-10-20 21:25:45] -->| PriceisMagic (cgiirc@Rizon-A995E4D3.lnse1.wel.bigpond.net.au) has joined #anti-matter
  22. [2012-10-20 21:29:29] <Grail> It sounds like someone will need to take initative if anything is to happen.
  23. [2012-10-20 21:30:32] <Juroko> Ok then, how about what happened after the mission in the cold, white north?
  24. [2012-10-20 21:31:43] <Grail> There you go
  25. [2012-10-20 21:35:11] <PriceisMagic> I thought it was your turn Grail
  26. [2012-10-20 21:35:46] <Grail> Eh it probably is, but if other people are antsy they can go.
  27. [2012-10-20 21:38:22] <Falconis> so nobody then?
  28. [2012-10-20 21:39:15] <Falconis> guess I'll just organize logs
  29. [2012-10-20 21:40:23] <Grail> Me or Juroko can go
  30. [2012-10-20 21:40:32] <Falconis> who shall it be then
  31. [2012-10-20 21:41:54] <Grail> Guess I'll go, just to check out where this boat is taking me
  32. [2012-10-20 21:42:08] <Falconis> for the life of me i can't find the logs from grails
  33. [2012-10-20 21:42:27] <Falconis> finally
  34. [2012-10-20 21:43:38] <Falconis> bluh, gonna take a while to sort through this
  35. [2012-10-20 21:43:41] <Falconis> BUT OK
  36. [2012-10-20 21:43:46] <Falconis> WHEN WE LAST SAW OUR HERO
  37. [2012-10-20 21:44:08] <Falconis> he was off with Vict- Princess, ramo and HUGE GUY on a boat, speeding away from minerva
  38. [2012-10-20 21:45:04] <Falconis> the city under siege by a single large golem of light and stone
  39. [2012-10-20 21:45:15] <Grail> He's just doing his best to hold on and watching the port city grow ever smaller in the distance as he does so.
  40. [2012-10-20 21:45:37] <Grail> On the bright side he owed like five dudes money
  41. [2012-10-20 21:45:42] <Grail> Suckers
  42. [2012-10-20 21:45:53] <Falconis> Donby three claws among them
  43. [2012-10-20 21:46:46] <Falconis> Right then, so you were on the deck, Hugeguy(truenamepending) piloting the boat and surrounded by booze
  44. [2012-10-20 21:47:03] <Falconis> the door to the lower area is locked tight
  45. [2012-10-20 21:47:33] <Falconis> light shooting up from the city, slicing the night sky and lighting it up as if the sun were still around
  46. [2012-10-20 21:48:15] <Grail> How are his sea legs? Can he stand up on the speeding vessel?
  47. [2012-10-20 21:48:24] <Falconis> Hadrian?
  48. [2012-10-20 21:48:25] <Falconis> sure
  49. [2012-10-20 21:48:55] <Falconis> not like he's a sea monkey, but he's pretty good with his legs too
  50. [2012-10-20 21:49:02] <Falconis> have to be if you wanna be a thief in minerva
  51. [2012-10-20 21:49:19] <Grail> One would, in a game like this, wonder if sea monkeys were a real thing
  52. [2012-10-20 21:49:27] <Falconis> ...heh
  53. [2012-10-20 21:50:22] <Grail> But Hadrian doesn't really have time to speculative meta-think, so he's going to see if he can find out what direction we're headed in by lumbering over the large drunken man and yelling "HEY WHERE ARE WE GOING?".
  54. [2012-10-20 21:51:13] <Grail> All smooth like
  55. [2012-10-20 21:51:26] <Grail> Okay not smooth like at all but he's a street thug.
  56. [2012-10-20 21:51:42] <Falconis> The man turns his head to face you a smoothly cocks and single eyebrow
  57. [2012-10-20 21:51:44] <Falconis> he grins
  58. [2012-10-20 21:51:46] <Falconis> and shrugs
  59. [2012-10-20 21:53:01] <Falconis> he fishes down by his feet for another bottle and takes a hearty swig
  60. [2012-10-20 21:53:26] <Grail> He offers a puzzled face in return, then tries to remember enough of those maps he's seen and put together where they'd be going if they continued straight onto this path.
  61. [2012-10-20 21:54:32] <Grail> It probably doesn't require remembering the maps actually, just a vague enough knowledge of geography to know what lies 'over yonder' in a random direction.
  62. [2012-10-20 21:54:40] <Falconis> straight out into open ocean. As far as the empire's maps know, there's nothing out there.
  63. [2012-10-20 21:54:52] <Falconis> nothing at all
  64. [2012-10-20 21:54:59] <Grail> Ah so there be dragons
  65. [2012-10-20 21:55:06] <Falconis> bearded dragons
  66. [2012-10-20 21:55:10] <Grail> Man we are a terrible port town
  67. [2012-10-20 21:55:15] <PriceisMagic> (Wasnt that guys name Duke?)
  68. [2012-10-20 21:55:23] <Falconis> (yes but im thinking of changing it)
  69. [2012-10-20 21:55:26] <Falconis> (shhhhhhhhhh)
  70. [2012-10-20 21:55:44] <Falconis> (because duke is too GfH-y >_>)
  71. [2012-10-20 21:56:16] <Grail> Okay well he's just going to walk around the ship then, see if it has a name anywhere
  72. [2012-10-20 21:56:46] <Grail> See if the jerky he stole last week is still good
  73. [2012-10-20 21:56:58] <Falconis> it's not bad
  74. [2012-10-20 21:57:36] <Falconis> hrm
  75. [2012-10-20 21:57:43] <Falconis> where are you looking?
  76. [2012-10-20 21:57:48] <Falconis> I don't want to presume
  77. [2012-10-20 21:58:21] <Grail> On the side of the ship, on the mast, the cannons (if there are somehow hidden cannons I didn't notice on the first go around).
  78. [2012-10-20 21:58:30] <Falconis> nope, no cannons
  79. [2012-10-20 21:59:22] <Falconis> After a few moments, you do indeed find a name on the side of the ship
  80. [2012-10-20 21:59:45] <Falconis> written in bold, flowing script in a deep red
  81. [2012-10-20 21:59:52] <Falconis> 'Victoria's Secret'
  82. [2012-10-20 22:01:07] <Falconis> The city is just a speck on the horizon by now, the light from the attack all but gone out
  83. [2012-10-20 22:01:13] <Grail> He quirks a brow at the name, but lacking knowledge of modern female underwear manufacturers he just shrugs
  84. [2012-10-20 22:01:20] <Falconis> ha
  85. [2012-10-20 22:01:21] <Grail> Damn alternate universe jokes
  86. [2012-10-20 22:01:49] <Grail> He's going to check all his gear, since I forgot whatever I had on me and it isn't in the logs
  87. [2012-10-20 22:02:02] <Falconis> ah
  88. [2012-10-20 22:02:06] <Falconis> ohboyherewego
  89. [2012-10-20 22:02:13] <Grail> I remember I had knives, a cloak, some pouches, lockpicks, and gold
  90. [2012-10-20 22:03:16] <Grail> Oh and thieves tools, whatever those are.
  91. [2012-10-20 22:03:17] <Falconis> [2012-09-25 01:29:39] <Falconis> Thief, start with 2 knives, lockpick, cloak, 1 medicinal pouch, sneak gloves and 700 gold
  92. [2012-10-20 22:03:49] <Falconis> 'thief tools' are essentially the lockpicks
  93. [2012-10-20 22:04:05] <Falconis> and wiggly things
  94. [2012-10-20 22:04:14] <Grail> Right, can we say I spent some of my gold on some stuff before I got called off to adventure?
  95. [2012-10-20 22:04:20] <Falconis> sure
  96. [2012-10-20 22:05:13] <Falconis> wat ya wanna buy?
  97. [2012-10-20 22:05:34] <Grail> Uh let's see, I want a big ass club, a crossbow, some leather armor with a couple metal plates, some poison, and...tell me how much all of that is
  98. [2012-10-20 22:05:37] <Juroko> I am justpicturing that guy from resident evil 4
  99. [2012-10-20 22:05:56] <Juroko> Just popping out of nowhere
  100. [2012-10-20 22:05:58] <Falconis> define 'big ass'
  101. [2012-10-20 22:06:19] <Falconis> arm length? top half of body length? whole body length?
  102. [2012-10-20 22:06:47] <Falconis> I assume you are buying bolts with the crossbow
  103. [2012-10-20 22:06:50] <Grail> Hadrian is a big, thug-like, enforcer thief
  104. [2012-10-20 22:07:19] <Grail> Somewhere between arm-length and half body length
  105. [2012-10-20 22:07:28] <Grail> Closer to arm length
  106. [2012-10-20 22:07:34] <Falconis> unless you want to get fancy, you can get that for free
  107. [2012-10-20 22:08:11] <Grail> What do you have in terms of fancy? Like magic effects or what?
  108. [2012-10-20 22:08:17] <Grail> And yes to the crossbow bolts
  109. [2012-10-20 22:08:37] <Falconis> magic effects or special design features
  110. [2012-10-20 22:09:10] <Falconis> right now it's just a big block of wood with a place where you can comfortably hold it
  111. [2012-10-20 22:09:21] <Grail> Oh no I want metal
  112. [2012-10-20 22:09:21] <Falconis> not 'block' just wood
  113. [2012-10-20 22:09:26] <Falconis> ah, METAL club
  114. [2012-10-20 22:09:50] <Falconis> unless you just gonna take a bit of pipe, that might actually cost you a bit to get, one way or another
  115. [2012-10-20 22:10:28] <Falconis> crossbows come in 200, 300 and 500 gold versions.
  116. [2012-10-20 22:10:32] <Falconis> 200 is standard
  117. [2012-10-20 22:10:40] <Falconis> 300 has extra range and stopping power
  118. [2012-10-20 22:10:51] <Falconis> 500 is made to be mounted on things
  119. [2012-10-20 22:11:05] <Falconis> bolts are roughly 2g a piece
  120. [2012-10-20 22:11:41] <Falconis> you could also get a cheap one for 100g
  121. [2012-10-20 22:11:51] <Grail> Leaning towards the 300 gold model, but let me see how much everything else costs
  122. [2012-10-20 22:11:52] <Falconis> but I wouldn't recommend it >_>
  123. [2012-10-20 22:12:09] <Falconis> the armour
  124. [2012-10-20 22:12:17] <Falconis> trying to remember the costings...
  125. [2012-10-20 22:12:33] <Falconis> 70, 150, 200 was it?
  126. [2012-10-20 22:12:54] <Falconis> 150+ comes with the metal plates and is better quality over all
  127. [2012-10-20 22:13:26] <Falconis> 70 is just the basic leather stuff, you can add the metal to that for 30 more, overall quality is less than the 150 one though
  128. [2012-10-20 22:13:42] <Falconis> the 200 one is really damn good,
  129. [2012-10-20 22:14:02] <Falconis> lots of attention spent on where should be harder than where, what shape the plates take
  130. [2012-10-20 22:14:20] <Falconis> straps and comfort, stuff like that
  131. [2012-10-20 22:14:51] <Falconis> you can get the flat leather of the second tier quality for 120 which is what most people normally get
  132. [2012-10-20 22:15:07] <Falconis> for poisons, you have to clarify what exactly you are looking for their
  133. [2012-10-20 22:15:11] <Falconis> there*
  134. [2012-10-20 22:15:42] <Grail> A poison I can put on a crossbow to kill a man if the bolt didn't do the job
  135. [2012-10-20 22:15:58] <Falconis> would be much easier to get if you were an assassin
  136. [2012-10-20 22:16:33] <Grail> It probably would be, but eh making stuff that kills someone is pretty easy, people do on accident all the time
  137. [2012-10-20 22:16:41] <Grail> Those poor, poor souls
  138. [2012-10-20 22:16:44] <Falconis> cheap, crude stuff that gets the job done nonetheless, made for rats but more potent
  139. [2012-10-20 22:17:19] <Falconis> can get a reasonable sized pack for 20-50g
  140. [2012-10-20 22:17:29] <Falconis> quality doesn't raise but quantity does
  141. [2012-10-20 22:17:32] <Grail> Get me some of that and since I'm not james bond I won't go for sleeping poison, but how about something that'll make people rush off to the bathroom?
  142. [2012-10-20 22:17:59] <Falconis> if ingested? this will do that sure
  143. [2012-10-20 22:18:18] <Grail> Okay so small amounts will act as a laxative and larger amounts will kill?
  144. [2012-10-20 22:18:39] <Falconis> if you are lucky the smaller amounts will kill em too
  145. [2012-10-20 22:18:55] <Grail> Hm okay what about that morning star I wanted?
  146. [2012-10-20 22:19:01] <Grail> Out of my price range?
  147. [2012-10-20 22:19:11] <Falconis> this is actually some pretty nasty stuff, it's just not discreet
  148. [2012-10-20 22:19:51] <Falconis> a morning star? 200-500 for anything worth talking about
  149. [2012-10-20 22:20:06] <Falconis> 200 will serve most men well
  150. [2012-10-20 22:20:28] <Falconis> above that is increasing weight and overall quality
  151. [2012-10-20 22:21:46] <Falconis> not something you normally find in Minerva
  152. [2012-10-20 22:23:07] <Grail> Okay I'll take the 200g croosbow, with 20 bolts, 200g armor, 20g for poison, and then the leftover 240g into the morning star.
  153. [2012-10-20 22:23:24] <Grail> Actually 220g into the morning star, leave 20g left over
  154. [2012-10-20 22:23:30] <Grail> Need some pocket change
  155. [2012-10-20 22:23:48] <PriceisMagic> (Keeping some shrapnel spare? smart)
  156. [2012-10-20 22:24:17] <Falconis> hope you can use that
  157. [2012-10-20 22:25:08] <Falconis> so you got some sweet ass armour
  158. [2012-10-20 22:25:20] <Falconis> standard bow
  159. [2012-10-20 22:25:24] <Falconis> 20 bolts
  160. [2012-10-20 22:25:36] <Falconis> horrible horrible poison
  161. [2012-10-20 22:25:49] <Falconis> and a morning star with a little extra heft
  162. [2012-10-20 22:26:09] <Grail> Fancy poison is for assassins and people who care about their victims not turning the ground their buried in green
  163. [2012-10-20 22:26:14] <Grail> Men other than Hadrian
  164. [2012-10-20 22:26:18] <Falconis> lol
  165. [2012-10-20 22:26:24] <Grail> they're*
  166. [2012-10-20 22:27:24] <Grail> Okay I'm all sorts of geared up now. Chilling on the boat, no clue where I'm going. So it's time to wait until something interesting happens
  167. [2012-10-20 22:27:37] <Falconis> right then, so as I was saying
  168. [2012-10-20 22:27:51] <Falconis> also, if you can you should add this to the wiki
  169. [2012-10-20 22:28:50] <Falconis> The large man turns the boat, angling back towards the mainland a bit
  170. [2012-10-20 22:29:26] <Falconis> with a little mental plotting you guess they are heading towards Forbis, another coast town towards the north
  171. [2012-10-20 22:30:01] <Grail> Sweet
  172. [2012-10-20 22:30:05] <Grail> My cousin lives in Forbis!
  173. [2012-10-20 22:30:30] <Falconis> He pulls two levers and loud CLANKS sound under you followed by a soft humm coming from all around
  174. [2012-10-20 22:31:08] <Grail> Ah damn, Hadrian looks around to see what's up with the hum
  175. [2012-10-20 22:31:14] <Falconis> he stretches and leaves the wheel and heads down below, the door
  176. [2012-10-20 22:31:48] <Falconis> You look around and instantly notice something that wasn't there before
  177. [2012-10-20 22:32:33] <Juroko> (Oh shit, air ship!)
  178. [2012-10-20 22:32:50] <Falconis> an unbroken line of script runs around the walls of the boat, glowing dully and humming softly
  179. [2012-10-20 22:33:53] <Falconis> the boat shoots through the water at speeds you are sure no boat should be going
  180. [2012-10-20 22:33:54] <Grail> Hm, hm, hm Hadrian looks at it thoughtfully
  181. [2012-10-20 22:34:03] <Grail> ...he has no fucking idea what that shit is
  182. [2012-10-20 22:34:05] <Falconis> no anything should be going
  183. [2012-10-20 22:34:51] <Falconis> it is then you notice that the wind batting against your face doesn't match what one would expect from something going this fast
  184. [2012-10-20 22:35:00] <Falconis> odd
  185. [2012-10-20 22:35:04] <Falconis> >_
  186. [2012-10-20 22:35:07] <Grail> Hoooooly shit, wait still standing? Not flying off into the sea?
  187. [2012-10-20 22:35:09] <Grail> Weird.
  188. [2012-10-20 22:35:26] <Grail> Hadrian looks around to see if the dude left any drinks left
  189. [2012-10-20 22:35:41] <Grail> left left left left left
  190. [2012-10-20 22:35:47] <Falconis> that he did, he would be hard pressed not to
  191. [2012-10-20 22:36:00] <Falconis> there are at least 3 crates of drink still on deck
  192. [2012-10-20 22:36:00] <Grail> Anything Hadrian recognizes?
  193. [2012-10-20 22:36:10] <Falconis> plenty hadrian recognizes
  194. [2012-10-20 22:36:38] <Grail> Okay he grabs a bottle and puts down an equivalent amount of gold
  195. [2012-10-20 22:36:49] <Falconis> two of the crates are stocked full with old blue, a pretty good brew served all around minerva
  196. [2012-10-20 22:37:19] <Falconis> the other crate is filled with long thin bottles of high class bubbly, no doubt liberated from the part ship
  197. [2012-10-20 22:37:37] <Falconis> 5 gold for a bottle of old blue
  198. [2012-10-20 22:37:48] <Falconis> hell if i know how much the other stuff costs
  199. [2012-10-20 22:37:51] <Grail> Fine, drinking it while he waits
  200. [2012-10-20 22:38:28] <Falconis> sec
  201. [2012-10-20 22:40:55] <Falconis> k
  202. [2012-10-20 22:41:37] <Falconis> Hadrian drinks for a few minutes accompanied only by the humm from the boat
  203. [2012-10-20 22:42:36] <Falconis> he's about halfway through when Ramo comes on deck, holding a mop in his hands
  204. [2012-10-20 22:43:00] <Falconis> he looks at you, surprise showing on his face
  205. [2012-10-20 22:43:12] <Falconis> [Ramo]"The hell are you doing here?"
  206. [2012-10-20 22:43:38] <Grail> "Hitching a ride."
  207. [2012-10-20 22:45:10] <Falconis> His eyes narrow and he points at you with the mop "This isn't a ferry kid. I hope you know how to swim"
  208. [2012-10-20 22:46:25] <Falconis> he drops the mop and walks towards you, flexing his fingers
  209. [2012-10-20 22:46:28] <Grail> "Wait, wait, wait. Come on, just let me hang around until you guys get to Forbis."
  210. [2012-10-20 22:48:17] <Falconis> [Ramo]"No dice. We let you off easy back in Minerva kid. By all rights I shoulda gut you the moment you stepped on the ship."
  211. [2012-10-20 22:48:39] <Falconis> [Ramo]"And we don't give free rides here"
  212. [2012-10-20 22:48:42] <Grail> "What if I mop the ship for you?"
  213. [2012-10-20 22:48:51] <Grail> He's putting on his best persuasive face
  214. [2012-10-20 22:49:18] <Falconis> He stops about an arm length away from you, eyes narrowing further
  215. [2012-10-20 22:50:41] <Falconis> He straightens and looks you up and down, seemingly giving the idea serious consideration
  216. [2012-10-20 22:50:48] <Falconis> "All of it?"
  217. [2012-10-20 22:51:34] <Grail> "Uh, sure." Hadrian is pretty sure something off is going to happen with this wacky magic ship, but it's better than trying to swim a couple miles carrying all his worldly possessions
  218. [2012-10-20 22:52:02] <Grail> He nods in a sure manner to back that up
  219. [2012-10-20 22:52:04] <Falconis> He grins and walks back to retrieve the mop
  220. [2012-10-20 22:52:33] <Falconis> teh closest thing to a grin you can bet you will ever see on this face anyway
  221. [2012-10-20 22:53:06] <Juroko> (Your fate is sealed)
  222. [2012-10-20 22:53:17] <Falconis> [Ramo]"Well then, hope to it. And no slacking off"
  223. [2012-10-20 22:53:20] <Falconis> hop* 4
  224. [2012-10-20 22:53:40] <Falconis> he reaches down and underhand throws the mop at you
  225. [2012-10-20 22:53:57] <Grail> Hadrian catches the mop and starts...mopping
  226. [2012-10-20 22:54:07] <Grail> And here he swore he'd never do an honest days labor again
  227. [2012-10-20 22:54:27] <Falconis> there goes that bet with old man jim
  228. [2012-10-20 22:55:02] <Falconis> You, mop
  229. [2012-10-20 22:55:04] <Grail> Oh well jim's probably dead now
  230. [2012-10-20 22:55:10] <Falconis> probably
  231. [2012-10-20 22:55:55] <Falconis> and after less minutes than you thought, you have mopped the entire deck
  232. [2012-10-20 22:55:55] <Grail> Hadrian just keeps wishing HE was an awesome thief with a magic ship
  233. [2012-10-20 22:56:08] <Grail> Damn lack of talent
  234. [2012-10-20 22:56:13] <Grail> And drive
  235. [2012-10-20 22:56:44] <Falconis> while you did so, duke(screw it) came back up top and retook his place near the wheel
  236. [2012-10-20 22:56:52] <Falconis> Ramo went down >_>
  237. [2012-10-20 22:57:15] <Falconis> The door to the deeper section is open now as far as you can tell
  238. [2012-10-20 22:57:20] <Grail> Hadrian continues mopping every surface
  239. [2012-10-20 22:57:33] <Grail> And eventually peers through the door
  240. [2012-10-20 22:57:36] <Grail> Mop first
  241. [2012-10-20 22:57:40] <Falconis> lol
  242. [2012-10-20 22:57:48] <Grail> "This part too, right?"
  243. [2012-10-20 22:59:11] <Falconis> you poke the mop and then your head through the door and find
  244. [2012-10-20 22:59:29] <Falconis> the cabin just as you remember, though pointedly void of Ramo and princess
  245. [2012-10-20 22:59:48] <Grail> Hadrian shrugs and continues mopping
  246. [2012-10-20 22:59:54] <Falconis> the chest sits there with it's cover open, the gold glistening invitingly
  247. [2012-10-20 22:59:58] <Grail> ROLLING POINTLESSLY FOR MOPPING
  248. [2012-10-20 23:00:02] <Grail> .dice 1d100
  249. [2012-10-20 23:00:03] <Classhole> Grail: Average(31.00) Total(31) Rolled(1d100=31)
  250. [2012-10-20 23:00:29] <Falconis> ....hehhhehehehhe
  251. [2012-10-20 23:00:31] <Grail> He's not messing with the gold, that shit defied gravity
  252. [2012-10-20 23:00:32] <Falconis> anyway
  253. [2012-10-20 23:00:49] <Grail> That's not good gold...man he never thought he'd think that phrase
  254. [2012-10-20 23:01:29] <Falconis> you continue mopping and when you are about halfway done
  255. [2012-10-20 23:01:50] <Falconis> the chest shuts, burbles and, for lack of a better word, belches
  256. [2012-10-20 23:02:08] <Grail> HE KNEW IT
  257. [2012-10-20 23:02:17] <Falconis> out Princess, who steps from out of it's mouth with light feet
  258. [2012-10-20 23:02:24] <Grail> HE DIDN'T KNOW IT
  259. [2012-10-20 23:02:41] <Falconis> she flicks back her hair and sighs
  260. [2012-10-20 23:02:52] <Grail> He looks at the scene, baffled.
  261. [2012-10-20 23:03:03] <Grail> Still mopping, oddly
  262. [2012-10-20 23:03:46] <Falconis> She scratches her stomach and looks around, freezing in place when she notices you
  263. [2012-10-20 23:03:54] <Falconis> "Oh."
  264. [2012-10-20 23:04:18] <Falconis> "That's what Ramo meant"
  265. [2012-10-20 23:04:58] <Grail> She gets a questioning look in response to that
  266. [2012-10-20 23:05:08] <Grail> Then he looks back down at his mop
  267. [2012-10-20 23:05:45] <Falconis> the mop looks like a mop
  268. [2012-10-20 23:05:58] <Falconis> slightly used, 127p
  269. [2012-10-20 23:06:01] <Grail> Damn
  270. [2012-10-20 23:06:03] <Falconis> +tax
  271. [2012-10-20 23:06:07] <Grail> Looks back at her
  272. [2012-10-20 23:07:56] <Falconis> She relaxes and smiles, tying her hair back with a bit of string
  273. [2012-10-20 23:08:27] <Falconis> "Trying out for the deck hand position? I'm flattered but we aren't hiring"
  274. [2012-10-20 23:08:50] <Grail> "Aww really? I was getting good at this too."
  275. [2012-10-20 23:10:12] <Falconis> "A shame really, Ramo would approve"
  276. [2012-10-20 23:10:25] <Grail> "But really, this was better than being dumped overboard and/or killed."
  277. [2012-10-20 23:10:37] <Grail> "...I think."
  278. [2012-10-20 23:10:53] <Falconis> She steps back and takes a seat on a lounge chair
  279. [2012-10-20 23:11:08] <Falconis> stretching herself on it languidly
  280. [2012-10-20 23:11:52] <Falconis> "Different strokes. So Ramo tells me you are going to Forbis?"
  281. [2012-10-20 23:13:51] <Falconis> "Pray tell why"
  282. [2012-10-20 23:14:04] <Grail> "That's where this 'ship' is headed right? I think he made it pretty clear I'm probably not going to be allowed to stick around, so Forbis, Forbis seems like a nice alternative. I hear they have plenty of loose coin purses anyway."
  283. [2012-10-20 23:16:26] <Falconis> "Hmm, that's because there's hardly anything in them worth holding tight"
  284. [2012-10-20 23:16:35] <Falconis> "But I guess we all start somewhere"
  285. [2012-10-20 23:17:02] <Grail> "Where'd you start? If you don't mind me asking."
  286. [2012-10-20 23:17:14] <Falconis> The chest rumbles and Ramo emerges, holding a coconut
  287. [2012-10-20 23:18:06] <Falconis> [Princess]"Oh me? That's quite a story, oh hey Ramo, I was just about to tell the story of my first heist"
  288. [2012-10-20 23:18:19] <Falconis> Ramo nopes and heads out to the deck
  289. [2012-10-20 23:18:52] <Falconis> She shrugs and sits, up, seemingly eager to start talking
  290. [2012-10-20 23:23:39] <Falconis> "So, there I was, surrounded by guards, staring Duke Quol in the eye. I had just taken his most prized possession, the ruby of Neptalai; and what a knocker she was. Most beautiful gem I had ever laid eyes on, and have ever to this day if you can believe it, those ancient Kripsians really did some good work I can tell you that. I've sampled from many of their works since"
  291. [2012-10-20 23:25:06] <Falconis> "Once there was this lovely box I found in one of there temples that played music when you touched a certain spot on the top, it was lovely, made a killing on that one, and im not talking about the gold"
  292. [2012-10-20 23:25:55] <Falconis> "You know I've had to kill some people, it's not all milk and roses. Sometimes they just don't respect having been outwitted, can you believe that?"
  293. [2012-10-20 23:26:21] <Falconis> "I mean obviously if I get my hands on it it means they weren't protecting ti well enough and it should belong to me, don't you think?"
  294. [2012-10-20 23:27:20] <Grail> "I can't disagree, but then I'm not as artful as you are I imagine."
  295. [2012-10-20 23:27:54] <Grail> Hadrian is just thinking his first theft was a watch she stole out of a guy's hands...man he sucks.
  296. [2012-10-20 23:28:00] <Grail> he
  297. [2012-10-20 23:29:03] <Falconis> "So anyway, im in the tower of phrizim when all of a sudden the eagle headed statues come to life and start coming after me"
  298. [2012-10-20 23:29:52] <Grail> Da fuck
  299. [2012-10-20 23:29:56] <Grail> Is all his face says
  300. [2012-10-20 23:30:38] <Falconis> A sudden lack of humming in the air shuts her up
  301. [2012-10-20 23:30:48] <Falconis> "Oh, we must be there!"
  302. [2012-10-20 23:31:15] <Falconis> She swings her legs off the side of the lounge chair and heads up top
  303. [2012-10-20 23:31:48] <Grail> He follows, presumably he mopped up the whole area while she was telling her tale of wonder
  304. [2012-10-20 23:32:39] <Falconis> oh yes
  305. [2012-10-20 23:33:49] <Falconis> You head up top into the night, the city of Forbis(?) is easily seen now,
  306. [2012-10-20 23:34:26] <Grail> Hadrian stretches his legs
  307. [2012-10-20 23:34:35] <Grail> Puts the mop in a corner somewhere
  308. [2012-10-20 23:34:43] <Falconis> Ramo is standing by the mast, leaning on it, Duke still by the wheel, Princess up front
  309. [2012-10-20 23:35:04] <Falconis> not the mast sorry, the wall
  310. [2012-10-20 23:35:19] <Falconis> >_>
  311. [2012-10-20 23:35:44] <Falconis> you are quickly approaching the docks and will no doubt be there in under a minute
  312. [2012-10-20 23:35:45] <Falconis> >_
  313. [2012-10-20 23:38:28] <Falconis> ?
  314. [2012-10-20 23:38:43] <Grail> "I know you guys said you don't need another set of hands, but uh, what if I get better? Maybe I could contact you guys somehow?" he asks hopefully as he ambles towards where the side of the ship he'll get off at.
  315. [2012-10-20 23:39:44] <Falconis> Ramo and princess look at each other
  316. [2012-10-20 23:41:02] <Falconis> [Ramo]"Persistent aren't ya"
  317. [2012-10-20 23:41:20] <Falconis> [Princess]"He has a good eye at least"
  318. [2012-10-20 23:41:27] <Falconis> Ramo grumbles
  319. [2012-10-20 23:42:16] <Falconis> he turns and goes below decks
  320. [2012-10-20 23:43:00] <Falconis> [Princess]"If you do feel like contacting me again, just look for something valuable and im sure our paths will cross"
  321. [2012-10-20 23:43:21] <Falconis> [Princess]"Maybe you'll get lucky again"
  322. [2012-10-20 23:43:31] <Grail> He smiles and nods
  323. [2012-10-20 23:44:09] <Falconis> She grins and Duke pulls the boat in to the Forbis docks , running silently over the waters, sounding no different than the tides themselves
  324. [2012-10-20 23:44:19] <Falconis> not as big or rich as minerva but not bad looking
  325. [2012-10-20 23:45:20] <Grail> Hadrian gets off the ship when it's all tied and up and anchored
  326. [2012-10-20 23:47:09] <Grail> He supposes it's time to look up his cousin
  327. [2012-10-20 23:47:13] <Grail> Hopefully he didn't die
  328. [2012-10-20 23:47:28] <Grail> Or move
  329. [2012-10-20 23:47:35] <Grail> Or find out he's a criminal
  330. [2012-10-20 23:47:45] <Juroko> Or turn into a crazy cultist
  331. [2012-10-20 23:48:51] <Falconis> or be named gremil
  332. [2012-10-20 23:49:28] <Falconis> You jump off the ship and moments later it turns and speeds off again
  333. [2012-10-20 23:49:51] <Falconis> no sign of oars or sail
  334. [2012-10-20 23:49:55] <Falconis> fukkin magic
  335. [2012-10-20 23:50:17] <Falconis> WELCOME TO FORBIS, CITY OF DREAMS
  336. [2012-10-20 23:51:29] <Grail> I'm gonna rob this place blind
  337. [2012-10-20 23:52:01] <Grail> At least until magical contructs attack it and I'm forced to fight some dudes for magic powers
  338. [2012-10-20 23:53:18] <Grail> Okay. Cutting off point for this session then?
  339. [2012-10-20 23:54:10] <Falconis> yes, though I am sad about it
  340. [2012-10-20 23:54:35] <Grail> Why?
  341. [2012-10-20 23:55:18] <Falconis> hmm
  342. [2012-10-20 23:55:33] <Falconis> well I guess we got stuff done >_>
  343. [2012-10-20 23:55:56] <Grail> Eh I've gotten from point A to point B at least
  344. [2012-10-20 23:56:08] <Grail> Hit me with something big in this town if you want
  345. [2012-10-20 23:56:17] <Grail> For the next session that is
  346. [2012-10-20 23:56:52] <Falconis> hmm, I think I finally figured out what your optional storyline is
  347. [2012-10-20 23:57:01] <Falconis> maybe you will have more luck
  348. [2012-10-20 23:57:37] <Juroko> So, done for the night Flac?
  349. [2012-10-20 23:58:45] <Falconis> uhh
  350. [2012-10-20 23:59:04] <Falconis> yeeeeeees
