  8. [4:35 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: I don't know.
  9. [4:35 PM] Faerie: What DO they do?
  10. [4:36 PM] Sawai: Time to become numba wan in Shadowverse

  18. [4:36 PM] Sawai: :firepopo:
  19. [4:36 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: A bridge blocked by carts remain before you.
  20. [4:37 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You stand amidst yourselves, with Recelle and Rurik by your side.
  21. [4:37 PM] Runic: Hmm I could use those as improvised weapons to roll 1d4+str or dex since I have Tavern Brawler if thats the case
  22. [4:37 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: In addition, yeah, Runic.
  23. [4:37 PM] Runic: Wait do improvised weapons count as finesse if its small like a bottle or table leg?
  24. [4:37 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It depends on the weapon in said question.
  25. [4:38 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Thrown flask can be dex, and splashing undead: Sure enough.
  26. NEW MESSAGES
  27. [4:38 PM] Runic: Hmm okay okay
  28.  
  29. [4:39 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: There's a number of people missing. Rurik seems blessfully unaware, but Recelle expresses a bit of concern in her face.
  30. [4:39 PM] Sawai: (w-woah, are we playing already? :surprisedpopo: )
  31. [4:39 PM] Faerie: (Oh snap)
  32. [4:40 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "At time like this..." She scratches her hair for a moment.
  33. [4:40 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Oh, are we not?)
  34.  
  35. [4:40 PM] Faerie: (>Koga playing Shadowverse as well)
  36. [4:40 PM] Sawai: (I just thought you said it was early)
  37. [4:40 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (I know it's early, but you folks gave me the 1, 2, 3!)
  38. [4:40 PM] Sawai: (yay)
  39. [4:41 PM] Faerie: (Sawai started it!)
  40. [4:41 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (If you wish to start when there's more people, that's fine by me as well!)
  41. [4:41 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (i'll gladly pause in that situation)
  42. [4:41 PM] Sawai: (m-maybe we should wait for Mizu or something?)
  43. [4:41 PM] Faerie: (Well, we probably can get more people a bit later)
  44. [4:41 PM] Runic: (What time does Mizu even get back at this time?)(edited)
  45. [4:42 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (In contrast, you have a healer and fighter, the specialist, and the mage in the party. That's a complete breakfast)
  46. [4:42 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Anyways, we'll call for the break then.
  47. [6:34 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Recelle straps on her daggers, reload and maintain her musket...
  48. [6:34 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: And looks at the rest of you while you are getting ready; There really isn't any time.
  49. [6:35 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The Complex, as far as Rurik is able to tell you, is just across the bridge, within a 10 minute walk.
  50. [6:35 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The Complex, as far as Rurik is able to tell you, is just across the bridge, within a 10 minute walk.
  51. [6:35 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: At least, normally.
  52.  
  53. [6:35 PM] Runic: (The musket I retrieved for Recelle Kap)
  54. [6:35 PM] Runic: (The one she always had)
  55. [6:35 PM] Kaperis: (Oh, you got it? Nice.)
  56. [6:36 PM] Runic: (ez pz :happykepa: )
  57. [6:37 PM] Mizuki: Alicia cleans the tears from her face and awaits near Recelle. There really isn't time to waste. She probably looked very silly, crying like that...(edited)
  58. [6:37 PM] Kaperis: John's ready as ever.
  59. [6:37 PM] Runic: Lexon getting out of fallen cart, finding nothing usefull, begins dusting himself off
  60. [6:37 PM] Runic: "I assume we're ready to go now"(edited)
  61.  
  62. [6:37 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: @Faerie
  63. [6:38 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Rurik will try his best to give direction, from the Mid position.
  64. [6:38 PM] Runic: "The faster we go, the faster we'll be able to meet up with Shadow... if he's alright" Lexon says with a bit of concern
  65. [6:38 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: What's everyone's Marching Order? Front, Mid, or Back?
  66. [6:38 PM] Runic: Lexon takes to the front
  67. [6:38 PM] Sawai: Tries to console Alicia, unsure of why she's really crying.
  68. NEW MESSAGES
  69. [6:40 PM] Mizuki: "I'm alright..." - Says Alicia with a smile patting the little girl's head. She may look tough sometimes, but she's a little soft inside and really cares about her companions.(edited)
  70. [6:40 PM] Kaperis: John is out front, too.(edited)
  71. [6:41 PM] Mizuki: Alicia is mid
  72. [6:41 PM] Sawai: (>companions)
  73. [6:41 PM] Sawai: (see: familiars)
  74. [6:41 PM] Sawai: ( :sadpopo: )
  75.  
  76. [6:42 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Lexon Front, John Front, Alicia Mid, Rurik Mid, Recelle Back, Princess Back.
  77. [6:42 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Alright.
  78. [6:42 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: First, the group makes their way precariously over the fallen carts and carriages.
  79. [6:43 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: A skeletal horse (as opposed to a horse skeleton; those would animate and attack you) reminds you of the grim situation that the world is currently in. But according to Rurik, there's a ray of hope.
  80. [6:43 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: At least, there's refuge, in the Complex. As long as you are not bitten...
  81. [6:43 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 1d100
  82. [6:43 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d100]: 21, Result: 21
  83. [6:43 PM] Mizuki: (n-no hime, Alicia cried because she attracted a ton of zombies and almost killed everyone ;-;)
  84. [6:44 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... As your trek down the road, a foul wind blows. It smells of rotten flesh and undead moan. But it might just be a distraction...
  85. [6:44 PM] Kaperis: (Not bitten? Did we all treat ourselves for the undead poison?)
  86. [6:44 PM] Sawai: (o-oh :sadpopo: )
  87. [6:44 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Lexon, John, perception.
  88.  
  89. [6:44 PM] Kaperis: roll 1d20+4
  90. [6:44 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+4]: 11, Result: 15
  91. [6:44 PM] Runic: roll 1d20
  92. [6:44 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20]: 3, Result: 3
  93. [6:44 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: John. You notice something wrong.
  94. [6:45 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: In an alley way a distance down, there's.. two armored figure, seemingly dancing and fighting against their shadows.
  95. [6:45 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: If they are screaming, you are unable to hear it. Their full-mask helm's preventing you from telling.
  96. [6:45 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: They seem to be paladins, of some sort.
  97. [6:46 PM] Mizuki: (where's Fae?)
  98. [6:46 PM] Mizuki: ( @Faerie )
  99. 6:46 PM] Faerie: (I went botherin' my aunt for reasons, connection should be more stable now)
  100. [6:47 PM] Faerie: (Man, I'm eyebag-tier tired. What'd I miss?)
  101.  
  102. [6:47 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: tl;dr paladins a distance away down in alleyway fighting against their own shadows or something
  103. [6:48 PM] Faerie: (Fuck. Are we gonna die)
  104. [6:49 PM] Runic: "Hmm, notice something John?" Lexon says, noticing John facing something, along with his pace has slowed considerably(edited)
  105. [6:51 PM] Mizuki: (Alicia will be a little quiet at the start, if someone refers to her, please @ me. I'll be doing this school stuff for a while)
  106. [6:51 PM] Kaperis: (Microwave bugging out, sorry.)
  107. [6:52 PM] Kaperis: "There's a... a fight... going on...?" John sounds uncertain. He squints and points them out to the others.
  108. [6:53 PM] Faerie: Assuming there's enough space for 3 people in a row, Razmik shifts to the front formation, looking for whatever it is that John's pointing to.
  109. [6:54 PM] Faerie: A fight probably wasn't high on the list of things they'd want to encounter along the way, but well...
  110. [6:54 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You shift from mid to front.
  111. [6:54 PM] Faerie: (For how long did we march beforehand?)
  112. [6:55 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Approximately... 2 to 3 minutes?
  113. [6:55 PM] Sawai: (h-help)
  114. [6:55 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You are barely past the bridge, going slowly down the road.
  115. [6:55 PM] Sawai: (I'm being reaction-bullied :sadpopo: )
  116. [6:56 PM] Kaperis: "Should we go look?" In spite of asking, John already looks prepared to jog over.
  117. [6:57 PM] Mizuki: Alicia waits for someone else to answer. She made some really poor decisions lately... Maybe she should just stay quiet.
  118.  
  119. [6:58 PM] Faerie: "Best be careful, but yes." Raz motions to John, "Let's try not to bring too much attention to ourselves."
  120. [6:58 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: As you discuss and move, one of the knight topples over.
  121. [6:59 PM] Runic: "Yeah, let's do it, though I'd prefer if we take a quiet approach and see what's actually in that ally first"(edited)
  122. [6:59 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The other knight seems to shift his stance a little, more defensively, but still wordless.
  123. [6:59 PM] Faerie: "Hey, Lexon? That's a good idea, maybe you should take point while whoever's over there's distracted"(edited)
  124. [6:59 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The helm drops from the fallen knight's head. Shadows- shadows cling onto the knight's flesh, seemingly draining it of life.
  125.  
  126. [7:00 PM] Faerie: (Fuck)
  127. [7:00 PM] Runic: "Huh?!"
  128. [7:00 PM] Kaperis: John starts running ahead. He doesn't shout, though, paying the minimum heed to Razmik's words.
  129. [7:01 PM] Mizuki: Alicia stares at her companions a little restless - "M-Maybe we should hurry..."
  130. [7:01 PM] Runic: Lexon for some reason, instinctively takes out his driftglobe, awkardly tries to turn on that newfangle thing he recieved, and throws it into the ally
  131. [7:01 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Recelle kneels down, taking aim. "I'll support you from here."
  132. [7:01 PM] Mizuki: and follows after John
  133. [7:01 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Rurik stammers. "I, I'll protect this lady here."
  134. [7:01 PM] Faerie: Razmik follows after John - something had clearly gone south, not much use to care about being sneaky at that point
  135. [7:01 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... And stands behind Recelle.
  136.  
  137. [7:03 PM] Sawai: "She's my servant! If you want to protect her, you protect me!, yells at Rurik.
  138. [7:03 PM] Mizuki: (who the fug is Rurik?)
  139. [7:03 PM] Faerie: "What the hell do shadows respond to? Sunlight?" He looks over Lexon, expecting the Driftglobe to do something soon
  140. [7:03 PM] Faerie: (Revelator Rurik)
  141. [7:04 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "I'll do my best!" Rurik answers, certainly... He's just a barkeep.
  142. [7:04 PM] Faerie: (Old geezer we saved from the cultist altar)
  143. [7:04 PM] Kaperis: "Fall back! We'll cover you!" John cries once near the alley. He frantically gestures for the paladins to escape the alley, holding his spear up for... uh, what ARE they fighting?
  144. [7:04 PM] Mizuki: (oh, yeah)
  145. [7:04 PM] Runic: "No clue! That's why I'm trying to turn on this darn thing to throw it at them Razmik!" Lexon responds
  146. [7:04 PM] KogasaGaSagasa:
  147.  
  148. satisfiedpopo1
  149. [7:05 PM] Kaperis: (Oh, useful)
  150. [7:05 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The knight that's still standing turns toward John, his eyes obscured.
  151. [7:05 PM] Sawai: ( cute! :happypopo: )
  152. [7:05 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It doesn't seem like he's reacting much to your words, merely numbly fighting the shadows still.
  153. [7:06 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (I don't have a good meme for Mizu so I used her primary colors)
  154. [7:06 PM] Mizuki: Alicia stares at the enemies. What are those shadows? Maybe she knows something.
  155.  
  156. [7:06 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Anyways, if you wish to intervene, then give me the initiative!
  157. [7:06 PM] Kaperis: roll 1d20
  158. [7:06 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20]: 18, Result: 18
  159. [7:06 PM] Mizuki: (arcana check? Investigation? Religion?)
  160. [7:06 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Alicia: Those shadows? Religion.
  161. [7:06 PM] Runic: roll 1d20+4
  162. [7:06 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+4]: 17, Result: 21
  163. [7:07 PM] Mizuki: roll 1d20+2
  164. [7:07 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+2]: 6, Result: 8
  165. [7:07 PM] Mizuki: roll 1d20+5
  166. [7:07 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+5]: 16, Result: 21
  167. [7:07 PM] Mizuki: (+2 is initiative, +5 is religion)
  168. [7:07 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: They are your typical undead shadows, Alicia.
  169. [7:08 PM] Faerie: (>that map
  170. Oh dear)
  171. [7:08 PM] Faerie: roll 1d20
  172. [7:08 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20]: 13, Result: 13
  173. [7:08 PM] Faerie: (test)
  174. [7:08 PM] Mizuki: (easy then~)
  175. [7:08 PM] Kaperis: Not good. John can only charge in loudly and pray the surprise will buy the men time!
  176. [7:09 PM] KogasaGaSagasa:
  177.  
  178. [7:09 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 1d20+2
  179. [7:09 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+2]: 4, Result: 6

  184. [7:09 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+4]: 20, Result: 24
  185. [7:09 PM] Faerie: ''That's right!'', Razmik recalls the ghoul onslaught and Illiad activating the artifact, that is, its command word. He shouts it over to Lexon, in case the device's daylight was needed.
  186. [7:09 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 1d20+7
  187. [7:09 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+7]: 17, Result: 24
  188. [7:10 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 1d12+4
  189. [7:10 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d12+4]: 4, Result: 8
  190. [7:10 PM] Faerie: He had a very distinct feeling it would.
  191. [7:10 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 4d6
  192. [7:10 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [4d6]: 3,1,3,1, Result: 8
  193. [7:10 PM] Mizuki: "Those are normal shadows" - Starts Alicia - "Remember? We fought some wolf ones on the first night we met... They are weak against radiant damage..."(edited)
  194. [7:10 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Recelle takes a aimed shot! A shadow stutters.
  195. [7:10 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Lexon, your move.
  196. [7:10 PM] Faerie: (Weren't they weak against fire?)
  197. [7:10 PM] Kaperis: "Against what??" John shouts behind him.
  198. [7:11 PM] Mizuki: (not those apparently!)
  199. [7:11 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Those old ones were weak against Fire AND Radiant since tutorial)
  200. [7:11 PM] Faerie: (''what's radiant damage????'')
  201.  
  202. [7:11 PM] Mizuki: (paladin things, I think)
  203. [7:11 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (I blame the paladin)
  204. [7:11 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: for reference, the one directly north of you is the fallen one.
  205. [7:11 PM] Faerie: (Please say ''paladin-stuff'' in-character)
  206. [7:12 PM] Kaperis: (Fire = light, warmth, still more or less similar. A lot of monsters associated with darkness are weak to fire.)
  207. [7:12 PM] Runic: Lexon, using his Fast Hands to try to turn on the driftglobe, not being told how to actually turn the damn thing on he just begins to shake it wildly
  208. [7:12 PM] Mizuki: "Uh... Holy stuff, I guess" - Answered Alicia
  209.  
  210. [7:12 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Such as holy water, yes.
  211. [7:12 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Erm.
  212. [7:12 PM] Runic: "FUCKING TURN ON ALREADY"
  213. [7:12 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The driftglobe shines gently.
  214. [7:12 PM] Runic: "AHHHHH"
  215. [7:12 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It gives off light like a torch.
  216. [7:12 PM] Faerie: (It just needs a command word; I ''gave'' it to you, it's just that the actual word was never specified!)
  217. [7:13 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (There's erm, two.)
  218. [7:13 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (1/day it can Sunlight, remember?)
  219.  
  220. [7:13 PM] Faerie: ''Shimmer, Lexon!, try yelling that at it!''
  221. [7:13 PM] Faerie: (pls)
  222. [7:13 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You have a feeling that if Shadow Jager is here, the command word would be "Be lit like the sun, and conusme the darkness before me!"
  223. [7:14 PM] Faerie: (We gotta go deeper; it's only emitting non-magical light right now)
  224. [7:14 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: But as-is, "Shimmer" in Elven will work.
  225. [7:14 PM] Kaperis: John doesn't know how to pray! He'll just silently hope these shadows are vulnerable to being stuck with pointy things.
  226. [7:14 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (It's still magical, just not SUN light)
  227.  
  228. [7:15 PM] Faerie: (Man, why are blueberry muffins so good)(edited)
  229. [7:15 PM] Runic: "Turn on! Light! Sunshine! Shimmer!" Lexon yells just thinking of some word that might activate it
  230. [7:15 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: While the Sunlight of the orb is not like that of the natural sun, radiant beyond belief, it's... Strong enough to disable their ability to hide in the shadows.
  231. [7:15 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It also illuminate an area around you clearly!
  232.  
  233. [7:15 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: That was with a bonus action?
  234. [7:15 PM] Runic: "MY EYES" Lexon yelps from how close he is to the ball of light
  235. [7:16 PM] Runic: (Yes)
  236. [7:16 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: :ok_hand:
  237.  
  238. [7:16 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: What else would you like to do, Lexon?
  239. [7:16 PM] Runic: Lexon then runs towards the ally, driftglobe raised proudly above him
  240. [7:17 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You let it go, and it gently drifts around you.
  241. [7:17 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Emitting light like that of the sun.
  242.  
  243. [7:17 PM] Runic: After reaching the ally, he quickly withdraws his sword ready to slash one of the nearest undead shadow there
  244. [7:17 PM] §upposition: (14% on mobile, closing store)
  245. [7:18 PM] Faerie: Razmik whistles to himself half-smiling, and casts the front of his cloak to his sides. ''That's more like it, thank you!''
  246. [7:18 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You are somehwat blocked by the shadows in your way, but you are able to strike at one that's blocking you easily.
  247. [7:18 PM] KogasaGaSagasa:
  248.  
  249. [7:18 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Roll for your to-hit.
  250. [7:18 PM] Runic: (okay)
  251. [7:18 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (I'll update every once per round)
  252. [7:18 PM] Runic: roll 1d20+4
  253. [7:18 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+4]: 17, Result: 21
  254. [7:18 PM] Faerie: (Oh man, are pictures for babbies gonna be a thing now? Rad)
  255. [7:19 PM] Runic: roll 1d6+4
  256. [7:19 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d6+4]: 3, Result: 7
  257. [7:19 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: That's a hit! With the sunlight, the shadows have nowhere to hide!
  258. [7:19 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: However, it feels like you are slicing at nothing.
  259. [7:20 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: John.
  260. [7:20 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ( I want pizza :sadpopo: )
  261. [7:21 PM] Kaperis: John goes for the centermost shadow in attempt to get their attention. His spear's reach should allow him to do so without completely surrounding himself.

  285. [7:24 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It dissipates, screaming silently.
  286. [7:24 PM] Kaperis: Sometimes, the best distraction is just hitting them extra hard.

  296. [7:28 PM] Faerie: Both arms stretched in front of him, he pulls both hands away from each other in a single motion, commanding the shadows to do the same.

  311. [7:31 PM] Faerie: Pass.

  317. [7:33 PM] Faerie: (Hm, so for saves, you need to actually go over the DC to pass, instead of just meeting it like you'd do for AC when attacking. Is that right?)
  318. [7:33 PM] Mizuki: Alicia quietly, simply summons a firebolt and throws it against one of the shadows that managed to resist Raz's spell
  319. [7:33 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (No, they have a small circumstantial penalty.)(edited)

  386. [7:42 PM] Kaperis: (It's not sunlight, it's just normal light.)
  387. [7:42 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Sunlight spell is not true sunlight)
  388. [7:43 PM] Faerie: (What. The third level Sunlight spell is NOT actually sunlight? ...Man, whoever came up with that spell must feel dumb)

  418. [7:48 PM] Runic: 'I really hope its not one of you guys that turned' he thinks
  419. [7:49 PM] Runic: Afterwords he quickly retaliates against the undead that manged to get that hit on him, not caring a second whether its one of the thief they've met, now fallen, or not

  450. [7:53 PM] Kaperis: The near shadow is injured... as much as shadow can be called as such. John attempts a rare, advanced technique! Namely, striking it across with the shaft of his spear.
  451. [7:54 PM] Kaperis: ... It's a very innovative technique! Even John was surprised.
  452. [7:54 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (After combat, we'll take a 20 - 30 minute break, as I realize I should go out and do some shopping, and you folks can introduce back in Denden-chan)

  542. [8:08 PM] Kaperis: roll 1d20+7
  543. [8:08 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+7]: 17, Result: 24
  544. [8:08 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: That's a hit.
  545. [8:08 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Shaft strike, once again!
  546. [8:08 PM] Faerie: (There's never, ever been anyone as dead as this guy right now)
  547. [8:09 PM] Kaperis: Distracting Attack! Which at this point is indistinguishable in the torrent of blows.
  548. [8:09 PM] Kaperis: roll 1d4+5
  549. [8:09 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d4+5]: 1, Result: 6
  550. [8:09 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The knight falls!
  551. [8:09 PM] Kaperis: (Or not!)
  552. [8:09 PM] Faerie: (You know, Sawai would probably enjoy Battlemaster! Lots of rolling)
  553. [8:09 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (260 XP for adventure thus far, and now we commence a 30 minute break)
  554. [8:09 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (brb erm... snacks)
  555. [8:09 PM] §upposition: (I don't get that do I :sadpopo: )
  556. [8:10 PM] §upposition: (I imagine not)
  557. [8:10 PM] Kaperis: (I wanted to help Kogasa feed herself, so I tried dropping all my resources on one turn.)
  558. [8:10 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (You will, don't worry)
  559. [8:10 PM] Runic: pets Supposition
  560. [8:10 PM] Runic: Oh!
  561. [8:10 PM] Kaperis: (Fighter mega combo stronk)
  562. [8:10 PM] Runic: unpets Supposition
  563. [8:10 PM] §upposition: (So I get the 260?)
  564. [8:10 PM] Kaperis: (And John gets another attack next level...)
  565. [8:10 PM] Faerie: (Fucking combo walletkiddies)
  566. [8:11 PM] Runic: (Jesus that's insane Kap kek)
  567. [8:11 PM] Kaperis: (I mean, it's the same as a Sorc using up most of their spell slots at once, but still.)
  568. [8:11 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (not yet, we'll tally at the end)
  569. [8:12 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (it's just that we have 260 to distribute to all participant of today's campaign thus far)
  570. [8:12 PM] §upposition: (ah gotcha)
  571. [8:12 PM] Faerie: ''Hahaha, how did you do that? You're saying they teach guards to strike with both ends of their weapon, at once?''
  572. [8:13 PM] Faerie: (Get the fuck out, Razmik wanted in on that stuff!)
  573. [8:13 PM] Faerie: ((Time to verse the shadows some more))(edited)
  574. [8:17 PM] Faerie: (((Man, lots of japs play this)))
  575. [8:19 PM] Sawai: (I'm 21-2, I think)(edited)
  576. [8:20 PM] Sawai: (or maybe 3 losses, don't remember)(edited)
  577. [8:23 PM] Sawai: (hey, I'm not using a netdeck anymore, since i added that AoE card :distinguished: )
  578. [8:23 PM] Kaperis: (Wait, was that seriously asked IC? )
  579. [8:30 PM] Kaperis: (@Sawaii: Yeah, the only reason those cards aren't seen much in meta is because they aren't much use against spammed midgame legendaries like Aurelia or Ancient Elf. But in lower ranks, free of 'perfect' decks, they can wipe tempo decks like they ain't shit.)
  580. [8:30 PM] Sawai: (rarely draw it, though :sadpopo: )
  581. [8:31 PM] Faerie: (Koga called for a break, so not really!)
  582. [8:32 PM] Kaperis: (Decks almost always seem to favor 2 or 3 copies of cards to ensure consistent drawing -- important when the deck size is 40. The exception being 9 and 10 cost cards.)
  583. [8:32 PM] Faerie: (>Mentor's Teachings into two Quickbladers when there's 2 banners on my side
  584. Gotta go fast)
  585. [8:32 PM] Faerie: (>TOPDECK GILGAMESH)
  586. [8:34 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Back)
  587. [8:34 PM] Kaperis: (wb~)(edited)
  588. [8:35 PM] Faerie: (Hello!)
  589. [8:35 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: As the knight falls, and the dust settles, you... Are left with what appears to be a silent knight.
  590. happypopo21
  591. [8:35 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... Rurik peeks out from behind Recelle. "Everyone's alright?"
  592. [8:35 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Recelle nods. "Seems like." ... And finishes reloading.
  593. [8:36 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The knight stands before his (?) former comrade for a moment, before turning toward you all, silent.
  594. [8:37 PM] Runic: Lexon takes deep breath, recovering from the shock he took, "Could be worse" he says, panting a bit
  595. [8:37 PM] Kaperis: John watches the possessed knight collapse, gradually catching his breath. He turns to the remaining paladin. "Are you all right, sir?"
  596. [8:38 PM] Faerie: ''Well, that was... fast!'', Razmik puts his weapon down and looks at John. They didn't teach that kind of spearplay back at home!
  597. [8:38 PM] Runic: Lexon grudgingly reaches up to the floating driftglobe and grabbing it
  598. [8:39 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It stops floating around you, now in your hands.
  599. [8:39 PM] Runic: "Alright Razmik, how... the hell do I turn off this thing now, same way?"(edited)
  600. [8:39 PM] Faerie: Then he turns to the silent knight, checking for anything out of the ordinary (for someone who just witnessed a fellow get devoured by shadow, that is).
  601. [8:39 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The knight regards you silently.
  602.  
  603. [8:40 PM] Kaperis: John stares awkwardly for a moment. "...Um, wave once for 'yes'?"
  604. [8:41 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ...
  605. [8:41 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The knight stands tall, staring down at you lot.
  606. [8:42 PM] §upposition: (I can be spawned in whenever)
  607. [8:42 PM] Faerie: ...
  608. [8:42 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Oh, that's one of the Knight from the Complex." Rurik pipes up.
  609. [8:42 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... Dene, you... Step across dream, as you fell asleep.
  610. [8:42 PM] Faerie: ''What order do you serve?'', Razmik chimes in, trying to coax spoken words out of it.
  611. [8:42 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You may walk up behind the party.
  612. [8:42 PM] Sawai: (playing against Forestcraft netdeck)
  613. [8:42 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The Knight stares down at Razmik, his (?) gaze barely registerable behind the helm.
  614.  
  615. [8:43 PM] Sawai: (this is beyond bullshit)
  616. [8:43 PM] Mizuki: Alicia slowly approaches the rest of the party and waits, quietly
  617. [8:43 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "They are like that, just..." Rurik shrugs.
  618. [8:43 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Like stones or machines."
  619. [8:43 PM] Mizuki: "Why?" - Alicia whispers to Rurik - "Are they normal people?"
  620. [8:44 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: 'I... think so? Some of the other knights are much more talkactive, they manage the interaction between their order and us common folks." Alicia was whispered back.
  621. [8:44 PM] Faerie: ''Are they... human? I mean, not like that. Do they ever talk?'', he asks Rurik. He looked devoted to his craft, at the very least.
  622. [8:45 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "As long as you don't provoke them, they'll protect you - that much we know." Rurik addresses, "You can even insult them for the most parts, but we try not to."
  623. [8:45 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "I have not even seem them without their helmets on."
  624. [8:45 PM] Mizuki: "I'm... Sorry about your companion" - Said Alicia looking at the knight
  625.  
  626. [8:46 PM] Faerie: This one over here sure made an impression on him.
  627. [8:46 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The knight gazes at Alicia, silently...
  628. [8:46 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 1d20
  629. [8:46 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20]: 13, Result: 13
  630. [8:46 PM] Mizuki: (there's something very wrong with this order)
  631. [8:46 PM] Faerie: Razmik looks at the knight... and then at John... then back at the knight.
  632. [8:46 PM] Faerie: ''Helmets, uh?'' he asks himself.
  633. [8:47 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The knight turns toward John, suddenly.
  634. [8:47 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Axiom registry: Not found. State business."
  635. [8:47 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: A raspy, ancient voice sounds from within the helmet.
  636. [8:47 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Rurik jumps in surprise.
  637. [8:47 PM] Faerie: (Welp, suspected as much.)
  638.  
  639. [8:48 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "..."
  640. [8:48 PM] Faerie: That... didn't sound very human. In the slightest. Razmik wondered if it was mages behind the order, or if they were somehow involved.
  641. [8:48 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Axiom registry: Not found. State business." He (?) repeats.
  642.  
  643. [8:48 PM] Mizuki: Alicia rests her hand on the sword's grip, ready for action if the need arises
  644. [8:49 PM] Kaperis: "We just wanted to help," John explains. "We're on our way to the Complex."
  645. [8:49 PM] Sawai: (delete Forestcraft)
  646. [8:49 PM] Kaperis: (Suddenly, Eberron)
  647. [8:50 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Loading Axiom. Assitance moduel not found in target. Target non-hostile." The knight eases a moment. "Direction toward the Complex registered."
  648. [8:50 PM] §upposition: Denalthir stands behind the party, having just caught up. And now she is very confused at the ghostly soldier.
  649. [8:50 PM] Kaperis: (>Axiom)
  650. [8:50 PM] Kaperis: (... Well, St. Cuthbert DID apparently have a presence in this city.)(edited)
  651. [8:50 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Guidance module loading. Directive sent to Axiom." The knight pauses for a moment.
  652. [8:51 PM] Mizuki: "The hell is this? Some kind of machine maybe?" - Wonders Alicia
  653. [8:51 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "State further business, if any." The knight finally states.
  654. [8:51 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... Then turns to gaze at Alicia, silently.
  655. [8:51 PM] Faerie: ''Hmm. What's there to add?'', Razmik asks his companions
  656. [8:52 PM] Mizuki: "N-No, nothing else, thanks..." - She answers. Hopefully she didn't ruin anything this time
  657. [8:52 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: This whole time. This knight has only been talking with John.
  658. [8:53 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It's.... almost if the knight does not register the rest of you as someone he(?)'s capable of interacting with.
  659. [8:53 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (... as John is the only Lawful person in the group.)
  660. [8:53 PM] Faerie: ''Hey, maybe mention the presence of undead everywhere in the city? In case they... it... didn't know, yet? What about it, John?''
  661. [8:53 PM] Sawai: (hey, I'm a noble!)
  662. [8:53 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (But you are not Lawful. :smugpopo: )
  663. [8:53 PM] Sawai: (I have a scroll of pedigree!)
  664. [8:53 PM] §upposition: (KEH HE H HEH)
  665. [8:54 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (In fact, you are Chaotic in alignment!)
  666. [8:54 PM] Faerie: (You're probably not even Good aligned!)
  667.  
  668. [8:54 PM] Mizuki: "I'm pretty sure he knows it already, Raz" - Whispered Alicia
  669. [8:54 PM] Kaperis: (>Microwave not working at random intervals)
  670. [8:55 PM] Kaperis: (I-I can't NEET like this ;_;)
  671. [8:55 PM] Sawai: (I don't have a microwave)
  672. [8:55 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The knight resumes previous stance, combat-ready.
  673. [8:55 PM] Sawai: (and I haven't taken a step outside the door for close to a month :sadpopo: )
  674. [8:55 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Ending interface. Assuming Guidance duty."
  675. [8:56 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Follow me, citizens." He speaks, motion for you to follow.
  676. [8:56 PM] Kaperis: (Sorry for going afk, was trying to fix.)
  677.  
  678. [8:56 PM] Mizuki: (living the dream, hime :sadpopo:)
  679. [8:57 PM] Kaperis: John follows with a shrug. This fellow must be using some kind of sacred dialect, though Razmik seems not to recognize it.
  680. [8:57 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Rurik followed after, appearantly not noticing if there's anything wrong.
  681. [8:57 PM] Sawai: (except >assignments :sadpopo: )
  682.  
  683. [8:57 PM] Sawai: (exams never)
  684. [8:57 PM] Sawai: (I refuse to believe they're real)
  685. [8:57 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The knight is guiding you... Up the nearby roof.
  686. [8:58 PM] §upposition: Denalthir follows silently, sizing up the strange soldier
  687. [8:58 PM] Kaperis: "Rurik, are all the paladins this, erm, stiff?" John asks aside.
  688. [8:58 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: From there, you are lead down the rooftop, toward the Complex.
  689. [8:58 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Em. Not all." Rurik comments. "Some are alright folks that will talk and... Shit, I haven't seen one of THOSE talk."
  690.  
  691. [8:59 PM] Kaperis: "Those?"
  692. [8:59 PM] Faerie: ''At least it seems to know its way around the place better than us, hm?'', Raz points out, still walking in front rank relative to his allies' position.
  693. [8:59 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Knights." Rurik pauses.
  694. [8:59 PM] Kaperis: (Also, was the other paladin just a person?)
  695. [8:59 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: A normal humanoid animated by the shadow, as far as you can tell.
  696.  
  697. [9:00 PM] Mizuki: "I'm starting to think this guy isn't even sentient. Maybe just a construct controlled by someone else" - Whispered Alicia to Raz curious and a bit worried - "M-Maybe we... Uh... Could test it? Ask something only a sentient being would be able to respond"
  698. [9:00 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Skipping through the rooftop, you quickly arrived at ... a battlescorched alleyway. It's painted red and black with undead's remain.
  699. [9:00 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Two knights stand at guard of a gate into what appears to be a mini-district, surrounded by a wall of stone.
  700. [9:00 PM] Kaperis: (Depends on your definition of sentient! In human terms, no, it is not.)
  701.  
  702. [9:00 PM] Kaperis: (Philosophy~)
  703. [9:00 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Please do not Turning Test the Knight)
  704. [9:00 PM] Faerie: Razmik was a bit taken aback by the request. Something only a sentient being could answer? He thought it over for a bit...
  705. [9:01 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Or Turing, but I guess it passeed Turning test already from Razmik)
  706.  
  707. [9:01 PM] Kaperis: (What is the average airspeed of an unlaiden swallow?)
  708. [9:01 PM] Faerie: ''I have an inquiry to make, knight.''
  709. [9:01 PM] Mizuki: (it's TIME)
  710. [9:01 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: He ignores you, unlawful scumbag.
  711.  
  712. [9:02 PM] Mizuki: (whoa)
  713. [9:02 PM] §upposition: "Heh"
  714. [9:02 PM] §upposition: Denalthir is suddenly intrigued
  715. [9:02 PM] Runic: (kek)
  716. [9:02 PM] Faerie: ''For some weird reason, it only seems to listen to you, John. Can you do us a favor, then?''
  717. [9:02 PM] §upposition: Denalthir approaches the knight
  718. [9:02 PM] Faerie: (WHAT'S HIS FAVORITE COLOR)
  719. [9:02 PM] §upposition: "Hail fair Knight!"
  720. [9:03 PM] Kaperis: (Sidenote: in many DnD settings, the pure Lawful Neutral plane is known as Mechanus, the Clockwork Nirvana.)
  721. [9:03 PM] §upposition: Denalthir says in the most sarcastic voice she can manage
  722. [9:03 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The knight turns toward the group... Or John, rather. Ignoring Den, completely, speaking over her.
  723. [9:03 PM] Faerie: (Mechanus is a very boring place!)
  724. [9:03 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Guidance over. Resuming duty within 30 seconds."
  725. [9:03 PM] Kaperis: (St. Cuthbert is also Lawful Neutral, albeit leaning good.)
  726. [9:03 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: He stands still, as if focusing on something.
  727.  
  728. [9:04 PM] §upposition: "Hehheh, heyyyyy, it's not very nice to ignore people talking to you Ser!"
  729. [9:04 PM] Faerie: (Yeah, but his portfolio also includes wisdom and common sense; seldom things you see in constructs like this one)
  730. [9:04 PM] Kaperis: "Hm. That'll be all, then. Thanks!" John says. He gives a friendly (if slightly forced) wave goodbye.
  731. [9:04 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: He ignores you, you unlawful scum.
  732. [9:04 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The knight stares at John.
  733. [9:04 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Acknowledged."
  734. [9:04 PM] Faerie: ''Hey hey, John. Try the tree thing. You know, asking him what happens if a tree falls and nobody's there to hear it'', Raz hurriedly speaks, now curious to hear its answer.
  735. [9:05 PM] §upposition: (where's my hobogrin.jpg)
  736. [9:05 PM] Faerie: (Why is Denalthir so smug)
  737. [9:05 PM] Kaperis: "Huh? How would he know, if he wasn't around to hear it?" Evidently, John fails the sentience test?
  738. [9:05 PM] Faerie: (PFFFFT)
  739. [9:05 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Acknowledged." The knight answers John. (!)
  740. [9:06 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Failure to understand question, unable to reply."
  741. [9:06 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Please register with the Axiom." The knight stated. "Resuming duty. Reinforcement detected. Resuming duty."
  742. [9:06 PM] Faerie: Razmik was, if anything, a bit surprised by John, largely ignoring the knight's answer. ''A-alright, then. That works, too, I suppose...''
  743. [9:06 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... The gate opens, and a small team of knights comes out, joining the knight.
  744. [9:07 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: They return into the city...
  745. [9:07 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... The gate swings close.
  746. [9:07 PM] §upposition: "Sword in the mud." Denalthir calls after it.
  747.  
  748. [9:07 PM] Kaperis: "Well, he seemed nice, I think!" says John. "Where do we go from here?"
  749. [9:07 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Um." Rurik walks up to a knight on guard duty.
  750. [9:07 PM] Mizuki: "They aren't very different than zombies" - commented Alicia
  751. [9:07 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Entry request."
  752. [9:08 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The Knight regards the barkeep.
  753. [9:08 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... The gate swings open.
  754. [9:08 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "There we go." Rurik nods to the party. "So, um. Weclome to the Complex."
  755.  
  756. [9:09 PM] §upposition: "Does that mean it's drink time? Because that sure sounds like drink time." Denalthir walks up and pats Rurik on the back, smugly grinning at him
  757. [9:09 PM] Faerie: ''Zombies are a tad less friendly, I'd think.''
  758. [9:09 PM] Kaperis: "Maybe we should wait until we've, you know, washed off the dried blood and bile?" John suggests.
  759. [9:10 PM] Mizuki: "I could use a drink... And a bath" - Said Alicia
  760. [9:10 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Inside the Complex, it's... Well, it's like the Poor's Quarter, with many people cramped together in each of the building, reinforced further. You notice knights patrolling and the like, silent without anyone talking with them...
  761. [9:10 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 1d20
  762. [9:10 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20]: 14, Result: 14
  763. [9:10 PM] Faerie: Heey. 'Sword in the mud'? Razmik hadn't seen John using a sword, so far, but the knight seemingly did. And so did he! Did Denalthir think he was a sword in the mud, too? He sure hoped not.
  764. [9:10 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Alicia, you... Notice that the armors are not uniform.
  765. [9:10 PM] Faerie: (Ooh.)
  766. [9:11 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Most are in some sort of breastplate or chain shirt. If there once was decoration, it was ripped off or marred.
  767. [9:11 PM] Kaperis: John watches them walk around with interest. He must admit, he's never seen such precisely maintained patrols before! They must have almost perfect coverage of the area.
  768. [9:11 PM] Faerie: Any overseeing sigils or banners nearby? Anything that could indicate affiliation, really.
  769. [9:11 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Within the crowded pathway and alley, there's a small, tall building in pure white, seemingly made of marble or... some sort of opaque crystal?
  770. [9:12 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: None, Razmik.
  771. [9:12 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You feel out of place, being the only person bearing a holy symbol.
  772. [9:12 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 1d20
  773. [9:12 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20]: 9, Result: 9
  774. [9:12 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Was this not supposed to be a Paladin/Cleric congregation?
  775.  
  776. [9:12 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You feel eyes watching you. Commoners, refugees.
  777. [9:12 PM] Kaperis: (Ohhh, I get it! They're knights instead of paladins because constructs have no +CHA! Ha ha.)
  778. [9:13 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You are very out of place.
  779. [9:13 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Actually, constructs do have cha in 5e!)
  780. [9:13 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Just usually really low)
  781.  
  782. [9:13 PM] Kaperis: (D-does that mean golems are people too? :sadpopo: )
  783. [9:13 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Kappls)
  784.  
  785. [9:14 PM] Faerie: Funny, that. Not a single man of the cloth, or the like. ''I wonder if the commanding officers are the ones the district takes its name from...'', he utters in no particular direction.
  786. [9:14 PM] Mizuki: "Maybe we should look for someone to talk to? A paladin, and a sentient one preferably" - Commented Alicia to no one in particular - "I just want a little rest... We can take care of everything else later"
  787. [9:14 PM] §upposition: Denalthir makes a slight point of having a staring contest with anyone who lays eyes on her

  789. [9:15 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Oh, yeah." Rurik nods. "You can find a building somewhere to squat in. There'll be food once in a while, but... Well." He shrugs. "It's best if you go out to find food. They only serve gruels, enough to keep one barely alive."
  790.  
  791. [9:15 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: They rarely do, Denalthir.
  792. [9:15 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Their eyes... Remind you of your own. Or that of wolves.
  793. [9:15 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Or vultures.
  794.  
  795. [9:15 PM] Mizuki: "What about drinks?" - Asked Alicia to Rurik
  796. [9:15 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Even the children, they do not smile. They regard you... As an opportunity, at best.
  797. [9:16 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Rurik grins. "Hey, I have my own stash, you are welcomed to any amount of it. In fact, Aleswell is in the Complex after they setup the walls..."
  798. [9:16 PM] Faerie: To Razmik, his symbol meant a lot - it served as a bridge between the Morninglord, his beliefs and whatever place he was on, most of the time. ''I am honored to carry it with me always'', is what he always told himself. But in a place like this, he felt a bit uncomfortable indeed. What if others thought he was flaunting, or somesuch?
  799. [9:16 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "You are welcomed to stay there, if you have nowhere to go." He adds, grateful of you saving him.
  800.  
  801. [9:17 PM] Kaperis: John didn't expect life to be all sunshine and daisies in a place like this... but seeing it seems to bother him.
  802. [9:17 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Recelle shakes her head.
  803. [9:17 PM] Kaperis: "Well, let's treat our wounds first. Was anyone poisoned?"
  804. [9:17 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "I suggest we head to Aleswell, take a short break (Short Rest), and then head to find the ... Head honcho or something?" Recelle tilts her head, cutely.
  805. [9:17 PM] Mizuki: "I'll be sure to drop by later" - Said Alicia with a faint smile
  806. [9:18 PM] Runic: "Yeah I'd love to take a short break actually"
  807. [9:18 PM] Faerie: As he walks with the group, Rurik's words ring in his ears. Food? The folk back at the prison didn't seem to be doing too well on food, either.
  808. [9:18 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "I mean, we can just take a break anywhere, but..." Recelle smiles at Alicia, a bit sly. "Maybe a drink or two would do us good."
  809.  
  810. [9:19 PM] Faerie: (Aw man, Create Food and Drink is a level 3 spell. Never ever!)
  811. [9:19 PM] Sawai: "Should you be drinking at work?", asks Recelle, pouting
  812. [9:19 PM] Faerie: (RUDE)
  813. [9:20 PM] Kaperis: "The princess has a point," John says thoughtfully.
  814. [9:21 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Recelle laughs a bit. "A bit of apple cider maybe? As long as we can take a break, anything's fine."[9:21 PM] Faerie: ''Mhmm. Maybe a game of cards or two?'', Razmik looks at John, a slight smile forming.
  815.  
  816. [9:21 PM] Faerie: John didn't seem particularly averse to cards!
  817. [9:21 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The party moved to Aleswell. It's a bit rundown... And as Rurik opens the door, he frowns. There's a group of ten-odd people sitting in the common room.
  818. [9:21 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: They look at Rurik... And mutters some sort of apologies.
  819. [9:22 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Sorry, Aleswell. We'll leave soon, just.... One night."
  820. [9:22 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Rurik frowns. "... That's fine and all, just take your time and relax. We are all people here."
  821. [9:22 PM] Faerie: While it was true that they did need to take a breather after all that, badly, Razmik ponders any way he could be of help to the sheltered there. Didn't seem like he would be curing any diseases for the rest of the day, regrettably.
  822. [9:23 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Rurik turns to address the group, clearing up a table for them to sit around.
  823.  
  824. [9:23 PM] Kaperis: "Cards? Er, I-I don't really... I mean I do, but... ahem, later." John's reply is thoroughly wishy-washy.(edited)
  825. [9:24 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... This is a safe place. A small fire in the fireplace, set by one of the refugee, crackles softly. Some sort of small animal's being roasted on it, causing a waft of delicious meat smell to fill the room.
  826. [9:24 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Rurik frowns, and prefers people to not cook from it, but... Whatever.
  827. [9:25 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You are served free drinks - famous Aleswell ales, as well as apple cider for Recelle (on request), and water if non-alcoholic preference is there.
  828. [9:25 PM] Faerie: By all his frowning, Razmik imagined Rurik wasn't having a good time trying to get by. Still, offering his place the needy like that was a very noble effort. ''Thank you for having us'', he says to the barkeep as he sits down.
  829. [9:25 PM] Mizuki: Alicia sits down smiling a little - "Maybe we could play a game?"
  830.  
  831. [9:25 PM] Runic: "I'll take an ale" Lexon says tiredly
  832. [9:26 PM] Faerie: (NEVER PLAY GAMES WITH WIZARDS)
  833. [9:26 PM] Runic: "I'll sit this one out, I'm just gonna drink a little and rest up a bit"(edited)
  834. [9:26 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "It's fine, it's fine. Been away for three four days, and people are sitting in here. I'll do a check around the house later to make sure there aren't Rats." Rurik nods.
  835. [9:26 PM] §upposition: Denalthir enjoys a bit of ale. Not much, but a bit.
  836. [9:26 PM] Kaperis: John eventually caves and shares an ale with the others. He figures it's fine to relax a little.
  837.  
  838. [9:27 PM] Mizuki: Alicia takes a sip of the ale too
  839. [9:27 PM] Faerie: Why was it always water? Non-drinkers had feelings, as well! Besides, it was true that they were on duty. Er, some of them, at least. He was never not on duty, though.
  840. [9:27 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... You feel good, almost immediately.
  841. [9:28 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... Whatever recipe the Aleswell kept, it's a very good one, and filled you with determination hope and strength.
  842. [9:28 PM] Faerie: ''Everyone seems to be enjoying themselves, I guess...'' He muses, and doesn't let it bother him too much.
  843. [9:28 PM] Faerie: (CARDS CARDS CARDS)
  844. [9:28 PM] Sawai: Sulkingly drinks water.
  845. [9:28 PM] Mizuki: (do you have Cards? Alicia would be willing to play!)
  846. [9:28 PM] Kaperis: (John does.)
  847. [9:29 PM] Runic: (I don't think hope and determination will ease this pain in Lexon's heart)
  848. [9:29 PM] Runic: Lexon decides to rest his head on the table, resting a bit
  849. [9:29 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Partaking in the ale, wine, cider, or enjoying a meal on the house, you are under a Minor Heroes's Feast effect. You make all Wisdom checks with advantage, and makes all checks to resist Poisoned and Frightened with advantage.

  858. [9:30 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: With Rurik around, the deadened air in the inn seems to ... Stir. Into life. With just the barkeep around, the inn seems to be filled with a vibrant magic.
  859. [9:30 PM] Kaperis: John makes sure to express his gratitude, since comfort must be scarce around here.
  860. [9:31 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It's non-magical - merely the dedication and years of experience that the barkeep carries with him under his belt.
  861. [9:31 PM] Mizuki: "Hey, lets play something!" - Alicia says taking another sip - "You mentioned card games, Raz? Everything on our adventure is always so serious... We never have time for stuff like this"
  862. [9:31 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Rurik grins to John, "Hey, don't drink too much until tonight. I'll get the rooms cleared out and aired out, and ya'll can stay here for the night. Beats finding a random building to squat in, aye?"
  863.  
  864. [9:32 PM] Faerie: ''I wouldn't call this an adventure, considering the world already ended...'' Something about Razmik's tone suggests a bit of worry, or reluctance to take whatever they were in lightly.
  865. [9:32 PM] Faerie: (Pls no nightmare triggers)
  866. [9:32 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Like an overweight fish finally put back into water, Rurik's in his element. Even the refugees seem to lighten in spirits.
  867. [9:33 PM] Kaperis: "It does. And thanks again."John smiles and sheepishly fiddles with his deck. "I have a deck, if you'd like to play..."
  868. [9:33 PM] Mizuki: (can I summon Azura?)
  869. [9:33 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Recelle shrugs. "It's an adventure as long as we call it that. After all."
  870. [9:33 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Yes, Mizu)
  871. [9:33 PM] Mizuki: (one hour of casting though, right?)
  872. [9:33 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: During the meal, Alicia sits to the side, casting her ritual slowly.
  873. [9:33 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (10 minutes)
  874. [9:33 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (So... not that long)
  875.  
  876. [9:33 PM] Mizuki: (cool)
  877. [9:33 PM] Mizuki: (nyanzura or ravenzura?)
  878. [9:34 PM] Kaperis: (I don't think it'd be a nightmare trigger to say the world ended. After all, most of the people here saw it happen, unlike us.)
  879. [9:34 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Up to you)
  880.  
  881. [9:34 PM] Kaperis: (Hope isn't exactly at the top of the feels list for these people, I think.)
  882. [9:34 PM] Faerie: Well, all that aside, Razmik was unwinding, and the atmosphere did get him in a better mood. ''I can play too, if anyone'd like''
  883. [9:34 PM] Faerie: (Mainly meant that because of Alicia calling this an adventure, heher)
  884. [9:35 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Recelle smiles happily, reaching out to the princess, pulling her a bit closer, warmly.

  903. [9:37 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "I am glad to see that you are alright, Master." was the first thing Azura speaks, to you.
  904.  
  905. [9:37 PM] Faerie: It's fine, Razmik didn't know what he was doing, either! He did other things in his free time, after all.

  910. [9:38 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The other refugees are somewhat distant, but they don't seem as on guard as they were at beginning, especially after Rurik told them of your exploits. With embellishment.
  911. [9:39 PM] Mizuki: Telepathically she explains everything that happened since Azura got dismissed, putting emphasis on the mistakes she made - "I'll be more careful from now on... Sorry you got hit again"
  912. [9:39 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Azura softly /meows/ at Razmik, as if sensing his doubt.

  1025. [9:54 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Alicia, give me an Arcana check.
  1026. [9:54 PM] Kaperis: (C-can I upgrade to Half elf too :sadpopo: )
  1027. [9:54 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (kek)
  1028. [9:54 PM] Mizuki: roll 1d20+7
  1029. [9:54 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+7]: 3, Result: 10
  1030. [9:55 PM] Faerie: (>upgrade)
  1031. [9:55 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Axiom sounds familiar.
  1032. [9:55 PM] Kaperis: (Yes, upgrade. :firepopo: )
  1033. [9:55 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Being pureblood human is an advantage :smugpopo: )
  1034. [9:55 PM] Sawai: (I just wanted cute pseudo-elf-ears :sadpopo: )
  1035. [9:55 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Axiom... Axiom... Axiomatic...
  1036. [9:55 PM] §upposition: Denalthir thinks she knows how this is done. "Uh, c-call!!"
  1037. [9:55 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Of the Law?
  1038. [9:56 PM] Kaperis: (Half elf ears just look stubby :smugpopo: )
  1039. [9:56 PM] Mizuki: (I don't even know how to play poker)
  1040. [9:56 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Alicia, the details you recall is fuzzy. It's something related to regulation and law, of the extreme kind.
  1041. [9:56 PM] Mizuki: (:firepopo:)
  1042. [9:57 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: While everyone had beginner's luck... Razmik's beginner's luck shines the most.
  1043. [9:57 PM] Mizuki: Alicia talks telepathically to Azura - "I remember hearing something like that... It's related to rather extreme regulation and law, isn't it?"
  1044. [9:58 PM] Faerie: ''Ah, hey, we're not betting money, are we?'' He'd hate to take it from people, and he'd be worried if the game ended with him running dry. Money was always needed most during emergencies!
  1045. [9:58 PM] Kaperis: (Lawfully-aligned, anti-chaos enchantments on weapons used to be called "Axiomatic" weapons~)
  1046. [9:58 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "More so than that. It appears there must be some sort of portal or link to Mechanus, somewhere in the city." Azura adds.(edited)
  1047. [9:58 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Best be careful; who knows what they'll do?"
  1048. [9:59 PM] Faerie: (>portal
  1049. That's it, everyone, time to derail by hopping onto Sigil)
  1050. [9:59 PM] Faerie: (And die shortly after)
  1051. [9:59 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Moreso than that, there's a creature template called Axiomatic Creature, for creature of law incarnate. It's on-par with celestial creature template.)
  1052.  
  1053. [10:00 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Ding.
  1054. [10:00 PM] Mizuki: "Guess I'll go easy on drinking then" - Said Alicia to Azura taking another sip - "For now lets just... Have fun a little more. I'll explain everything to everyone soon"
  1055. [10:00 PM] Faerie: (Hm, are Modrons axiomatic?)
  1056. [10:00 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Very much so, Fae.)
  1057. [10:00 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Everyone, finish your short rest soon.
  1058. [10:00 PM] Mizuki: (one last round!)
  1059. [10:00 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: If you need to wizard your spells, or whatever, do so right now.
  1060. [10:00 PM] §upposition: (Oh right)
  1061. [10:01 PM] Mizuki: (I'll wizard my spells :sadpopo:)
  1062. [10:01 PM] Faerie: (All done over here.)
  1063. [10:01 PM] §upposition: (1 HP missing, so that basically recovers right? And how does one wizard one's spells?)
  1064. [10:01 PM] Sawai: (are we rolling again?)
  1065. [10:01 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Arcane Recovery 1 slot of level 1 spell, Alicia.
  1066. [10:01 PM] Sawai: (can I do arcane recovery too?)
  1067. [10:01 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Rest of you, recover your features that recovers on short rest.
  1068. [10:01 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (No, but you can adjust your sorcery points and spell slots.)
  1069. [10:02 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (You can burn spell slots for sorc points, or vice versal, albeit always at a loss)
  1070. [10:02 PM] Sawai: (but I can do that at any point, no?)
  1071. [10:02 PM] Mizuki: "I'm the dealer now" - Said Alicia taking the cards and distributing them
  1072. [10:02 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Yeah, but it takes bonus action normally)
  1073. [10:02 PM] Sawai: I see
  1074.  
  1075. [10:02 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ...
  1076. [10:02 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The door swings open into the inn, disruptingly.
  1077. [10:02 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: A group of knights step in.
  1078. [10:03 PM] Mizuki: (wait!)
  1079. [10:03 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The atmosphere changes almost instantly. Gone is the warm and fuzzy feeling of being at home.
  1080. [10:03 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (>waiting)
  1081. [10:03 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ( :smugpopo: )
  1082. [10:03 PM] Mizuki: (I'll recover my hp with the short rest, how does it work again?)
  1083. [10:03 PM] Runic: (I thought Mizu wanted to deal real bad lol)
  1084. [10:03 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Roll your hit die that you gain when you level. You have 2 hit dice as fighter, d10's, and 2 hit dice as wizard, d6's)
  1085. [10:03 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Roll them, one at a time, and heal for the amount you rolled plus con mod)
  1086. [10:04 PM] Mizuki: roll 1d6+2
  1087. [10:04 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d6+2]: 5, Result: 7
  1088. [10:04 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Heal for7 - can use more Hit Dice as you wish.
  1089. [10:04 PM] Mizuki: (full hp)
  1090. [10:04 PM] §upposition: (I won't arcane recovery the thingy, I'll just take my 1 HP and keep my 2 sorc points :sadpopo:)
  1091. [10:04 PM] Kaperis: (Aren't we getting a long rest as well? Does that have built-in healing?)
  1092. [10:04 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (When you do long rest, yes.)
  1093. [10:04 PM] §upposition: (I should have only burned 1 level 1 slot and 2 level 2 anyway)
  1094. [10:05 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Axiom registry required." The group of knights turn to John, as one.
  1095. [10:05 PM] Kaperis: (I used up my shortrest dice, so.)
  1096. [10:05 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Come."
  1097. [10:05 PM] Faerie: (This is a short rest. Probably can get a long one in Aleswell at night, as well.)
  1098. [10:05 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Maybe.)
  1099. [10:05 PM] Mizuki: Alicia stares at the knights
  1100. [10:05 PM] Faerie: (>Aleswell, as well
  1101. No regret.)
  1102.  
  1103. [10:05 PM] Kaperis: "Oh, yes. Sorry for taking so long." John politely excuses himself and goes with them.
  1104. [10:05 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: What of the rest of you?
  1105. [10:06 PM] Mizuki: "The hell is this?" - She asks - "Wait John!"
  1106. [10:06 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Azura stares intently at the knights... Landing on Alicia's shoulder.
  1107. [10:06 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Rurik seems surprised. "You can't just barge in her-"
  1108. [10:06 PM] Faerie: ''Er, will you be alright?'' Razmik stands up, naturally. The notion of getting separated from his fellow dreamer-coasters seemed bizarre to him.
  1109. [10:06 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: One of the knight stares at Rurik, his raspy, old voice sounds. "Resistance?"
  1110. [10:06 PM] §upposition: Denalthir follows behind John; not like they'd pay her any mind either way, way they've been acting.
  1111. [10:06 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "...N, no, sir."
  1112.  
  1113. [10:07 PM] Faerie: (I can't believe John's getting fucking robotized)
  1114. [10:07 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Rurik stammers. This is the first time he was talked to by one of the knight.
  1115.  
  1116. [10:07 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "You." One of the knight turns to Razmik.
  1117. [10:07 PM] Kaperis: "It's all right, I said I'd go through all the proper procedures earlier." John motions calmly to Rurik. "I'll be back once I'm done."
  1118. [10:07 PM] Mizuki: Alicia goes after John as well - "Thanks Rurik, it was great while it lasted. I feel way better now!"
  1119. [10:07 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Divine knight template detected. Conversion and upgrade requested. Come."
  1120.  
  1121. [10:07 PM] Kaperis: (>Conversion)
  1122. [10:07 PM] Kaperis: (Uh oh.)
  1123. [10:07 PM] Faerie: ''Yes, me? Alri-''
  1124. [10:08 PM] Mizuki: "Hey, wait a second John!" - Said Alicia - "I need to talk to you about... something first"
  1125. [10:08 PM] §upposition: "Shut up John, I'm following you and your weird new friends"
  1126. [10:08 PM] Faerie: >Conversion
  1127.  
  1128. [10:08 PM] §upposition: Denalthir looks straight at them when she says it
  1129. [10:08 PM] Mizuki: "In private. You too, Raz" - She said
  1130.  
  1131. [10:08 PM] §upposition: "Or are you having second thoughts?"
  1132. [10:08 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: They do not register you, Denalthir.
  1133. [10:08 PM] Faerie: ''I'll have to apologize; creed cannot be 'upgraded'. What could you mean?'', Razmik asks for clarification.
  1134. [10:09 PM] Kaperis: "Is it all right if they follow along?" John asks the 'speaker' of the group.
  1135. [10:09 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Explaination requested." The knight paused, as if thinking.
  1136. [10:09 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Explaination accepted."
  1137. [10:09 PM] Faerie: With the way they've acting, the knights probably won't offer him a satisfactory answer, he realizes.
  1138. [10:09 PM] Kaperis: (Well, that went better than I thought.)
  1139. [10:10 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Axiom requires all divine warriors of faith to unite in a Crusade against all that disturbs the Axiom." The knight explains. "Individuals will join force in the Axiomatic Weave and gains communal strength against encroaching darkness."
  1140. [10:10 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Any warrior of sufficient Trust Level are to be accepted into the Axiomatic Weave as well."
  1141. [10:10 PM] Faerie: (WHOOO WE SWORDCRAFT NOW WHOOOO)
  1142.  
  1143. [10:11 PM] Mizuki: "Ask him to take out his helmet, John, Raz" - Whispered Alicia
  1144. [10:11 PM] Kaperis: "Nope," John tells Alicia.
  1145. [10:11 PM] Faerie: Ahh. That made quite a bit more sense. ''If I understand correctly, this must be the... alliance of sorts Shadow and his dad told us about.''
  1146. [10:12 PM] §upposition: Denalthir makes different creepy faces at the knights
  1147. [10:12 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Input unclear." The knight says.
  1148. [10:12 PM] Kaperis: John crosses his arms indignantly. "I wouldn't take mine off just because someone's asking, either."
  1149. [10:12 PM] Mizuki: "There's something very wrong going on, you guys can't just follow him around!" - Whispered Alicia again - "This city has a link to Mechanus!"
  1150. [10:12 PM] Faerie: It sounded like a reasonable initiative, to do away with clerigal differences and rallying as a single unit. Razmik nods, ''I will follow.''
  1151. [10:12 PM] Sawai: Asks Recelle what's going on.
  1152. [10:13 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Recelle frowns, holding the princess closer...
  1153. [10:13 PM] Faerie: (Mechanus; does anyone else know of it?)
  1154.  
  1155. [10:13 PM] Kaperis: "Oh... does that, uh, 'Trust Level' come with responsibilities? I'm already a member of the Armsdale Watch."(edited)
  1156. [10:13 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Roll Arcana.
  1157. [10:13 PM] Mizuki: (me?)
  1158. [10:13 PM] Mizuki: (I googled mechanus :sadpopo:)
  1159. [10:13 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Anyone to recall Mechanus)
  1160. [10:13 PM] Mizuki: (i-is that allowed?)
  1161. [10:14 PM] §upposition: Roll 1d20+3
  1162. [10:14 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+3]: 5, Result: 8
  1163. [10:14 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (You are allowed to know as a player, but not as a character.)
  1164. [10:14 PM] Sawai: roll 1d20+4
  1165. [10:14 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+4]: 1, Result: 5
  1166. [10:14 PM] Sawai: ( :sadpopo: )
  1167. [10:14 PM] Mizuki: roll 1d20+7
  1168. [10:14 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+7]: 8, Result: 15
  1169. [10:14 PM] §upposition: (/shrug)
  1170. [10:14 PM] Kaperis: (The epithet is "The Clockwork Nirvana", and it looks exactly like what you picture.)
  1171. [10:14 PM] Mizuki: (not that bad)
  1172. [10:14 PM] Kaperis: (What else is there to know~?)
  1173. [10:14 PM] Faerie: roll 1d20-1
  1174. [10:14 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20-1]: 1, Result: 0
  1175. [10:14 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "You will join the Axiomatic Weave." The knight simply replies. "Your former creed or personality, organization, or any baggage is unneeded."
  1176. [10:14 PM] §upposition: (To be fair I know literally nothing of it)
  1177. [10:14 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Perfection requires no external influence."
  1178. [10:15 PM] Faerie: (''Mech... a? Is that something you ride?'')
  1179. [10:15 PM] §upposition: Denalthir has an idea and lights up at that statement!
  1180.  
  1181. [10:15 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Alicia.
  1182. [10:15 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: What they are talking about...
  1183. [10:15 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You are hit with an idea.
  1184. [10:15 PM] KogasaGaSagasa:
  1185.  
  1186. [10:16 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: If there's anything that reminds you of their movement and mannerism, it's a conjoined, central mind.
  1187. [10:16 PM] Kaperis: "Ah. Then I'll have to decline, if it interferes with my duties as a guard." Despite his usual, excessive politeness, John doesn't think to offer an apology for this.
  1188. [10:16 PM] §upposition: She uses prestidigitation to conjure googly eyes hovering in front of one of the soldiers' eyes.
  1189. [10:16 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: An Axiomatic Mind.
  1190.  
  1191. [10:16 PM] Mizuki: "Raz! John! He's going to brainwash you... Your personality, personal ideals will be all gone" - She whispers again - "You will be nothing but a lawful construct!"(edited)
  1192. [10:16 PM] Faerie: Okay, that didn't necessarily rub Razmik the right way. 'Unneeded', yeah, but did that mean they'd do away with him? Would he be turned into one of... them?
  1193. [10:16 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Request denied." The knight says, staring at John.
  1194. [10:16 PM] §upposition: Denalthir snickers
  1195. [10:16 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "You have duty with us." The knight speaks, ignoring the eyes.
  1196. [10:17 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Come."
  1197. [10:17 PM] §upposition: "High and mighty, eyes falling, falling falling~"
  1198.  
  1199. [10:17 PM] Faerie: ''Inquiry: does this 'duty' entail being made to be like you, Sir knight?''
  1200. [10:17 PM] §upposition: "...I'm going to love tearing you all to little pieces!"
  1201. [10:18 PM] §upposition: (H O B O G R I N)
  1202. [10:18 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Inquiry accepted." The knight nods. "Yes."
  1203. [10:18 PM] Kaperis: John sighs. "I told you, I can't. I'll leave the Complex if the law requires it, but I won't go with you."
  1204. [10:18 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The knight turns to Denalthir. "Threat registered. Processing."
  1205. [10:18 PM] Faerie: Well, wasn't that just dandy. John had the right ide-
  1206. [10:18 PM] Faerie: ''Wait, no!''
  1207. [10:18 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Request denied. Request denied." The speaks to John, twice.
  1208. [10:18 PM] §upposition: "Oho~ Now you hear me?"(edited)
  1209. [10:18 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "You are to join us."
  1210. [10:18 PM] Faerie: ''She meant no harm; it was a joke. A joke.''
  1211. [10:19 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "... Processing. Instruction unclear." The knight replies to Razmik. "Threat level elevation cancelling."
  1212. [10:19 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "... You are to join us." The knight repeats, to John and Razmik.
  1213. [10:19 PM] Faerie: (fug)
  1214. [10:19 PM] §upposition: Denalthir's getting...rather giddy teasing the Knight
  1215. [10:20 PM] Mizuki: "We are leaving" - Said Alicia
  1216. [10:20 PM] Kaperis: John frowns deeply. He slowly looks over his shoulder at the innkeep.
  1217. [10:20 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... The innkeep seems shakened, shaking his head, not knowing what's going on.
  1218.  
  1219. [10:20 PM] §upposition: Denalthir walks past the Knights, just outside of the bar, within 30 feet...
  1220. [10:20 PM] Sawai: (I'm really sleepy :sadpopo: )(edited)
  1221. [10:20 PM] Kaperis: ... How many are there?
  1222. [10:20 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Sawaipls)
  1223. [10:20 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: 8.
  1224. [10:20 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Erm.
  1225. [10:20 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: 1 innkeep.
  1226. [10:20 PM] Sawai: (>too sleepy to spell sleepy)
  1227. [10:20 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: 8 knights.
  1228.  
  1229. [10:21 PM] Faerie: (We'd get fucking slaughtered. Uh... plus, they'd know if anything happened to any other)
  1230. [10:21 PM] §upposition: "HEY, elevate that threat out here why don'tcha?"
  1231. [10:21 PM] Kaperis: "...All right, let's go."
  1232. [10:21 PM] Mizuki: Alicia approaches Rurik and whispers - "Leave with us, those guys aren't people"
  1233. [10:22 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "... Processing." The knight says. "Unwillingness to cooperate detected. Inquiry: Reason for unwillingness to comply."
  1234. [10:22 PM] Faerie: ''We'll... need to discuss this with someone in charge.''
  1235. ''Someone reasonable'', Razmik thought.
  1236. [10:22 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Statement: Axiom wishes humanity no harm."
  1237. [10:22 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The knight... nods.
  1238. [10:22 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Acknowledged. You will be brought to a representative."
  1239. [10:22 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Come."
  1240.  
  1241. [10:23 PM] Kaperis: John looks at Razmik. He was just gonna make a break for it, himself. This is probably a better plan.
  1242. [10:23 PM] §upposition: Denalthir conjures antlers to go with its googly eyes
  1243. [10:23 PM] Mizuki: "Uh... Wait here for now, we will be back" - Said Alicia to Rurik
  1244. [10:23 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "... Wait, I'll go with you." Recelle frowns.
  1245. [10:23 PM] Faerie: ''Willing to. Please lead.'', Razmik states, making a very questionable attempt at replicating their manner of speech.
  1246. [10:24 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "It just doesn't feel right to ... Let you two go alone. The princess can stay behind in Aleswell for now if she needs to rest..."
  1247.  
  1248. [10:24 PM] Faerie: (Was John really just gonna tail it? :sadpopo:)
  1249. [10:24 PM] Mizuki: Alicia follows the knights along with the rest of the party, while explaning under whispers what Mechanus is
  1250. [10:24 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Come." The knight repeats for one final time, and turns as a group.
  1251. [10:24 PM] Kaperis: (Yup! He doesn't want to fight the knights because thinning out their numbers could hurt the people living here.)
  1252. [10:24 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... You note the distance in which they are apart, and their motion and steps.
  1253. [10:25 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: They are uniformed, like cogs in a machine.
  1254. [10:25 PM] Sawai: Won't let Recelle leave without her.
  1255. [10:25 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Recelle notes the princess... And sighs. It might be dangerous, but the princess IS, for all intents and purpose, good at speaking to others...
  1256. [10:25 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ...
  1257. [10:25 PM] §upposition: "Like a poppa buck, leading its babies. So cute~ Ahahahaha~" Denalthir cackles quietly, adorning the Knight with various baubles(edited)
  1258. [10:25 PM] Faerie: (IN PAPER)
  1259. [10:25 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You are brought to the crystalline building.
  1260. [10:26 PM] Mizuki: (I love Denalthir)
  1261. [10:26 PM] Sawai: ( :satisfiedpopo: )
  1262. [10:26 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The gate swings open in anticipation, and you are lead to a small room, what appears... To be a classroom, with a clergy with a nervous tick in his left eye.
  1263. [10:26 PM] Faerie: Anything of note on the way there? Less refugees occupying the building's surrounding, compared to other areas maybe?(edited)
  1264. [10:26 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "... Visitors? Ah, visitors. Welcome to the Complex's heart."
  1265. [10:26 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Good question, Razmik.
  1266. [10:27 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Within a certain preimeter, there are... Knights, keeping post, or recovering.
  1267. [10:27 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Refugees seem unwilling to approach the central building.
  1268.  
  1269. [10:27 PM] Faerie: (I wonder if it's ''just'' because the knights are creepy.)
  1270. [10:28 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The cleric gazes at Razmik. "Ah. Ah, oh, joyous occasion, Lanthander's finest."
  1271. [10:28 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: He looks around, nervously.
  1272. [10:28 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Wecome to the Complex's heart, yes."
  1273.  
  1274. [10:28 PM] §upposition: Denalthir thinks the horns at least will be a bit too much in here...
  1275. [10:28 PM] Faerie: ''Yes, hello'', Razmik bows his head slightly to greet.
  1276. [10:28 PM] §upposition: She replaces the horns with a halo.
  1277. [10:29 PM] Faerie: After hearing the clergy speak, he didn't quite know what to make of it. Should he feel complimented, threatened, or...?
  1278. [10:29 PM] §upposition: "Holy Knight, perfectly Lawful, follows the Law to a T...no time for Tea at all though...Keh heh heh~"
  1279. [10:29 PM] Faerie: (DENALTHIR PLEASE)
  1280. [10:29 PM] Kaperis: John's there too! Though admittedly, he greatly resembles 'the guy with the Paladin'.
  1281. [10:29 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "H, hush, don't anger them..." The cleric seems scared.
  1282. [10:30 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "T, hey'll cut anyone down if they so much as step out of the line." The cleric whispers, nervous.
  1283. [10:30 PM] Faerie: ''We were instructed to follow here; a word is to be had with you, I believe.''
  1284.  
  1285. [10:30 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Y, yes. Welcome to the heart of the Complex." He stammers.
  1286. [10:30 PM] Kaperis: "... They treat their own clergy that way?" John asks, aghast.
  1287. [10:30 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The knights leave this room, letting you talk with the man.
  1288. [10:30 PM] Faerie: That was a development. He didn't seem to be as gung-ho on keeping people in line as the knights.
  1289. [10:31 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... He seems not relieved in the slightest.
  1290. [10:31 PM] §upposition: Denalthir places a pair of wings on the knight's back as it leaves
  1291. [10:31 PM] Mizuki: "Are you the leader of those men?" - Asks Alicia
  1292. [10:31 PM] §upposition: "Fly away now Lawful angel~"
  1293. [10:31 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "No, no... It's... That THING." The cleric stammers.
  1294. [10:31 PM] Kaperis: "What thing?"
  1295. [10:31 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The cleric thinks for a moment.
  1296. [10:31 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 1d20
  1297. [10:31 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20]: 2, Result: 2
  1298. [10:31 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 1d20
  1299. [10:31 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20]: 13, Result: 13
  1300. [10:31 PM] Faerie: Razmik studies the Cleric, eager to spot anything that'd give his position and deity away.
  1301. [10:32 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Erm, uhh..."
  1302. [10:32 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Give me a religion, Razmik.
  1303. [10:32 PM] Faerie: roll 1d20-1
  1304. [10:32 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20-1]: 4, Result: 3
  1305. [10:32 PM] Kaperis: (I wonder if John could talk his way out of this...)
  1306. [10:32 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "It's a ... Rogue Shield Guardian." The cleric starts. "Infued with... something. Something alien."
  1307. [10:32 PM] Faerie: (The cards took all my good rolls)
  1308.  
  1309. [10:33 PM] Mizuki: (can I roll arcana?)
  1310. [10:33 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Ah, yes, erm." He noticed Razmik's gaze, and presents his holy symbol.
  1311. [10:33 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "I am a cleric of Mask, you understand - I don't belong here." He stammers.
  1312. [10:33 PM] Kaperis: "A shield guardian? Uh, rogue from what?" John asks, confused.
  1313. [10:33 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Mask is a deity of shadow, deception, and of thieves.
  1314. [10:34 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: They are often evil, but this one doesn't seem to radiate that evil final boss feeing to you.
  1315.  
  1316. [10:34 PM] Faerie: ''Something interfering with what's happening in here?'', Razmik asks, after recalling whatever he knew about Mask.
  1317. [10:34 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Rogue, rogue from ... I don't know, why do you have to ask difficult questions? Arg." He seems frustrated.
  1318. [10:34 PM] Mizuki: "Shield guardian?" - Wonders Alicia
  1319. [10:35 PM] Mizuki: (can I roll?)
  1320. [10:35 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Shield guardian, wizard's pets." The man adds.
  1321. [10:35 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Yes, Alicia, go ahead. Arcana.
  1322. [10:35 PM] Mizuki: roll 1d20+7
  1323. [10:35 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+7]: 2, Result: 9
  1324. 😀1
  1325. 🔫1
  1326. [10:35 PM] Mizuki: (fucking hell)
  1327. [10:35 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Shield guardian? Sounds like the golem that wizards can make to serve them.
  1328. [10:35 PM] Sawai: roll 1d20+4
  1329. [10:35 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+4]: 16, Result: 20
  1330. [10:35 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Literally, a shield guardian.
  1331. [10:35 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Ahhh.
  1332. [10:35 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Princess, you know of this.
  1333. [10:35 PM] Sawai: (rolled for the same thing)
  1334. [10:36 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: A construct, made for wizards, by wizards. They act as silent guardians that shields the wizard from harm.
  1335. [10:36 PM] Kaperis: (Man, we don't need to go Planescape, Koga brought the Planescape to us.)
  1336. [10:36 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: They are able to shield the wizard - or anything wearing a key amulet - from harm, as well as store spells.
  1337. [10:36 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: A rogue one? Perhaps he's more referring to one without a Wizard master?
  1338. [10:37 PM] KogasaGaSagasa:
  1339.  
  1340. [10:37 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You understand the ... Typical designs, to a Shield Guardian, princess.
  1341.  
  1342. [10:37 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: As to you, Razmik,
  1343. [10:37 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The cleric chuckles nervously.
  1344. [10:37 PM] Faerie: (>Regeneration
  1345. Yeah, we weren't supposed to fight that)
  1346. [10:37 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "... Blessing of Mask, you understand."
  1347. [10:38 PM] §upposition: (tfw I almost hobo'd it into a fight)
  1348. [10:38 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Just as you shine under light, Mask lets us... Hide." He offers a prayer to Mask, calming down a little.
  1349.  
  1350. [10:38 PM] Kaperis: (Denalthir seems considerably less dignified than she did at the start of this game, huh.)
  1351. [10:38 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Anyways, relax, I have no desire to fight you, or an army of undead outside. Or the knights and that golem."
  1352.  
  1353. [10:39 PM] §upposition: (Remember what happens when I'm presented with things that aren't hostile but don't like me)
  1354. [10:39 PM] §upposition: (G O O G L Y E Y E S)
  1355. [10:39 PM] §upposition: (Like the axe)
  1356. [10:39 PM] Faerie: ''Fascinating'', Razmik thought. He'd have to pick up a book on Mask next time he'd wake up.
  1357. [10:39 PM] Mizuki: "What is brainwashing the knights?" - Whispers Alicia getting close to the priest - "Is it this golem thing? Are they even humans?"
  1358. [10:39 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Yes, yes. One such as you, we wouldn't want to convert you or anything. But we have worked together before, your church and ours, against common evil." The cleric of Mask chuckles nervously.
  1359. [10:40 PM] Kaperis: "Well, these things answer to some god or another now, right?" John remarks. "Why is that?"
  1360. [10:40 PM] Faerie: ''They told us we'd be allowed to speak with a 'representative''', he put emphasis on the word.
  1361. [10:40 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Brainwashing... Yes. Ah... " The cleric nods. "It's the shard that made the Shield Guardian. Yes. That ... " He shrugs. "I don't understand it at all, no, but... The shield guardian's controlled by something, in which controls the knights, joining them into a mental network."
  1362.  
  1363. [10:41 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "The Axiom, they call it." The cleric sneers.
  1364. [10:41 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "I am just caught up in this, fam!" He claims to Razmik. "I'll help you, as long as you don't land me in a mess, alright?"
  1365. [10:41 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... His mannerism reminds you of Shadow Jager, in some ways.
  1366.  
  1367. [10:42 PM] Faerie: Razmik doubted the Cleric was a fan of their design. What's deception when everything's always the same, forever?
  1368. [10:42 PM] Mizuki: "Where is this shard?" - Alicia asked - "If we were to destroy it, what would happen?"
  1369. [10:42 PM] Faerie: (>fam)
  1370. [10:42 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Destroy it..." The man snickers nervously.
  1371. [10:43 PM] §upposition: Denalthir takes note of that last thing the cleric said...'A mental network...'(edited)
  1372. [10:43 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "You'd probably die trying, but if you are able to... Why, the Complex would fall."
  1373. [10:43 PM] Kaperis: John shakes his head. "I don't know if that's a good idea. The knights might be brutal, but the alternative is..."
  1374. [10:43 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The cleric of Mask's eyes glint. "That would doom all those people here."
  1375. [10:43 PM] Faerie: ''I don't suppose we've... met before?'' Razmik presumed one such as him would seldom have a single face.
  1376.  
  1377. [10:43 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The cleric looks at Razmik strangely.
  1378. [10:44 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "What? What are you smoking, fam?"
  1379.  
  1380. [10:44 PM] §upposition: Denalthir perks up....and looks for Lexon on a hunch.
  1381. [10:44 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "So, let me lay it out to you real simple." The cleric picks up a chalk. And draws on the board behind him.
  1382. [10:44 PM] Faerie: (Acquaintances, maybe!)
  1383. [10:45 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Shard of Axiom, perhaps from Mechanus or another place." He draws a line. "Amulet of Shield guardian."
  1384. [10:45 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Amulet -> Shield Guardian."
  1385. [10:45 PM] Mizuki: "How did this even start? I heard the paladin orders ignored their differences to fight the undead together." - She asks - "I assume that was a lie?"
  1386. [10:45 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Shield Guardian -> Link mind with people -> Shared mind."
  1387.  
  1388. [10:45 PM] Kaperis: "Can this 'shard' be reasoned with?" John asks, scatching his head.
  1389. [10:45 PM] §upposition: ("Damn, fallen asleep.")
  1390. [10:45 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Well, it WAS like that, fam." The cleric chuckles.
  1391. [10:46 PM] Faerie: ''Alright, and where are these people coming from? The able-bodied amongst survivors?''
  1392. [10:46 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Then it all changed overnight when something happened. Next thing I know, I am one of the few people not bound into that damned network in this building."
  1393. [10:46 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The cleric shrugs.
  1394. [10:46 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Let's just say... Sometimes, people disappear on the street." The cleric looks at Razmik, grim.
  1395. [10:46 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "... And sometimes, kngiht pop up of nowhere."
  1396. [10:47 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "They have a... Recruitment process. This is part of it, for those more capable and possibly a threat."
  1397. [10:47 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Reasoning with the Shard? That's an idea.
  1398. [10:47 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The cleric shakes his head at John's idea. "I don't know. Nobody tried and succeed."
  1399. [10:48 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Alicia. You are reminded of Bloodaxe. Comparatively, Bloodaxe's method is... rather peaceful.
  1400. [10:48 PM] Mizuki: "Then the people wouldn't be all doomed if we destroyed the shard" - Said Alicia - "The knights would continue together, doing the same they used to do before this... Shard thing arrived"
  1401. [10:48 PM] Faerie: That was rather telling! And scary. ''What happened to the ones that haven't been... converted, like you? Any idea what the might be doing, during all of this?''
  1402. [10:48 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: In fact, you feel silly for even trying to say that Bloodaxe was mind controlling people. No, /this/ is mind control.
  1403. [10:49 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The cleric looks around, nervous.
  1404. [10:49 PM] Kaperis: (Bloodaxe's brainwashing is having a long conversation that draws you toward a certain conclusion, which you are permitted to make yourself.)
  1405. [10:49 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "I don't know."
  1406. [10:49 PM] Kaperis: (This brainwashing, though, does not involve a conversation.)
  1407. [10:49 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (It involves a conversion, not conversation. :smugpopo: )
  1408. [10:49 PM] Mizuki: (y-yeah :sadpopo:)
  1409. [10:49 PM] Faerie: (Bloodaxe is very nice)
  1410. [10:50 PM] §upposition: (To you :sadpopo:)
  1411. [10:50 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The cleric sighs.
  1412. [10:50 PM] Faerie: (Well, it wasn't me that put eyes on it...)
  1413. [10:50 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Look,man. I just want to not be kidnapped, and I don't want to deal with the army of dead outside either. Fuck this shit, alright?" The man claims.
  1414. [10:51 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Fuck all this, fam. If you can help me out, I'll give you all the blessings I can offer."
  1415. [10:51 PM] Faerie: ''I'll admit this stumps me. I was expecting some sort of unified order, not something as somber as this.''
  1416. [10:51 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Stop the Axiom, but don't smash it. I don't know." The cleric seems to be at a loss.
  1417. [10:52 PM] Kaperis: John looks down, deep in thought...
  1418. [10:52 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Recelle rocks the princess a little, guarding her like a shield guardian. (?)
  1419. [10:52 PM] Kaperis: (Also, I need to shower, back later.)[10:52 PM] Faerie: How... undignified. Either the man really was having the hardest time of his life, or he didn't have much in the way of Clerichood. But again, maybe that's just how Mask rolled...?
  1420. [10:52 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 1d20
  1421. [10:52 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20]: 5, Result: 5
  1422. [10:54 PM] Mizuki: (>but don't smash it)
  1423. [10:54 PM] Faerie: roll 1d20+3
  1424. [10:54 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+3]: 12, Result: 15
  1425. [10:54 PM] Mizuki: ( want to shatter the Axiom into tiny little pieces!)
  1426. [10:55 PM] Faerie: (But why!)
  1427. [10:55 PM] Mizuki: (because it's an EVIL BRAINWASHING machine!)
  1428. [10:56 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The cleric nods, nervously.
  1429. [10:57 PM] Mizuki: "Where can we find it?" - Alicia asks
  1430. [10:57 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Top of the complex, guarded by the Shield Guardian."
  1431. [10:57 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "It's a small piece of metal, with the amulet of the Shield Guardian around it."
  1432. [10:58 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "The metal is sentient and powerful; psionic energy or some shit. I don't know, fam."
  1433. [10:58 PM] Faerie: Razmik noted Alicia's general eagerness to jump into action. And he considered himself straightforward, geez...
  1434. [10:59 PM] Faerie: If anything, he takes care to study the Cleric's words and overall language use, including movements and such.
  1435. [10:59 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The cleric notices your gaze...
  1436. [10:59 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: He grins at you. "Sup, fam?"
  1437.  
  1438. [11:00 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: That shit-eatingin grin.
  1439. [11:00 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It reminds you of Shadow Jager. Or thieves in general.
  1440. [11:00 PM] Faerie: ''So the Axiom's... a piece of metal. That's it? Hm, explains some things...'', he parries elsewhere, verbally.
  1441. [11:00 PM] §upposition: Denalthir returns his grin
  1442.  
  1443. [11:00 PM] Mizuki: "We went through a lot today, would we be able to rest for the night? Or would the knights go after us?" - She asked - "If we end up fighting, I don't know what would happen. We aren't on a very good shape right now"
  1444. [11:00 PM] Faerie: Hopefully he didn't stare too hard.
  1445. [11:00 PM] §upposition: She wonders if she can pull this off...
  1446. [11:00 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Erm..." The cleric thinks.
  1447. [11:00 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "I can patch you up, fam." He decided. "But if you set your foot out here, they'll chase you down and cut you down."
  1448. [11:01 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "If you don't leave within an hour ready for conversion, they'll chase you down and cut you down."
  1449. [11:01 PM] Faerie: ''We aren't supposed to fight the knights, I don't think.''
  1450. [11:01 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "..." He pauses.
  1451. [11:01 PM] Mizuki: "I was refering to the guardian, Raz" - Explains Alicia
  1452. [11:02 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "If you want, you can pretend to accept the offer." He murmurs. "I'll direct the knights to bring you to the metal, and the shield guardian. And you can maybe... You know?" He grins.
  1453.  
  1454. [11:03 PM] §upposition: "Aye ya run wit dat lot dinnae? Ya reel kin dem innit? Honest to Bard, fam?" ["You resemble the thieves we met earlier greatly, are you aquainted? Seriously."] Denalthir does her best on the spot impression of what she thinks Lexon would say to those thieves...but doesn't know if it'll work.
  1455. [11:03 PM] Mizuki: "What if we pretend we are one of them?" - She asks - "That wouldn't work right...? It's a hivemind after all"
  1456. [11:03 PM] Faerie: ''That sounds deceptive enough to you?'' Razmik considers the idea, and almost decides to roll with it -reasoning and talking trouble over was always preferable, after all-
  1457. [11:03 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You do not know the thief's cant, unfortunately.
  1458. [11:03 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Your attempt was cute, however, cute enough that the cleric's eyes widen and grins.
  1459.  
  1460. [11:03 PM] Faerie: But would that do them any good? ''Haven't people already tried being civil with the Axiom? Hasn't seemed to end well...''
  1461. [11:03 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "You'd have to ... Register, fam." He shuddered at the thought.
  1462. [11:04 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Deceptive..." He grins.
  1463. [11:04 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "That's my jam, fam."
  1464. [11:04 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "... Civil? There's nothing civil about that hivemind." He sneers.
  1465. [11:04 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "You either join it and help it rebuild humanity in its twisted image, or you can die by its soldiers."
  1466.  
  1467. [11:06 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Whoever wants to talk to the Axiom, be my guest. I'll put an enchantment on you to help you with it."
  1468. [11:06 PM] Mizuki: "I guess... We don't really have any other choice" - Said Alicia - "If we get out we die, if we stay, we die too. If we go and meet the Axion, we may have a chance"
  1469. [11:07 PM] Faerie: ''That's why I imagined. Do you have anything else in mind? I can't imagine having a bunch of us try and reason with it will work any miracles.'' Sounded like a predicament, to him. The sort of predicament where you end up regretting your choice, regardless of what it is.
  1470. [11:07 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "It's got a mind set in stone. Or metal, as the case it be." The cleric chuckles.
  1471. [11:08 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Recelle shakes her head.
  1472. [11:08 PM] Mizuki: "But we will probably die anyway" - She kept talking to no one in particular - "The knights will come if a fight end up starting against the Axion."
  1473. [11:08 PM] Mizuki: "Do you have any ideas, Azura" - She asked telepathically
  1474. [11:08 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Azura pauses, and thinks.
  1475. [11:08 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "... Take the amulet."
  1476. [11:09 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: She offers the simple solution, perhaps influenced by her raven form, always attracted to glittering things.
  1477. [11:09 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Raven IS the Thief Bird, in some culture...
  1478. [11:09 PM] Mizuki: (amulet? :sadpopo:)
  1479. [11:09 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Scroll up, read what the explaination the cleric gave on the chain of control)
  1480. [11:11 PM] Faerie: ''That's unfortunate,'' Razmik reasons to the Cleric a bit further ''because when we fail talking to it, that'll mean a whole bunch less of capable, willing hands trying to fix this mess. And this mess concerns us all, agree?''
  1481. [11:11 PM] Faerie: (Man, taking the amulet'd probably blast us for 500 psychic damage or something)
  1482. [11:11 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: He nervously nods.
  1483. [11:12 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Well, look, fam. It's either chomped by undeads or assimiated to the hivemind. I'd rather go home and be a family man, you catch my drift?"
  1484. [11:12 PM] Faerie: (It's a ''Koga makes a go home and be a family fam joke'' episode)(edited)
  1485. [11:13 PM] Mizuki: "That's a simple and... Really good idea" - Said Alicia - "We can control the guardian with that amulet, right?"
  1486. [11:13 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Theoretically." Azura muses. "If you've been paying attention at all in classes..."
  1487. [11:13 PM] Faerie: ''Hmm... Do you think nobody's ever tried that, Alicia?''
  1488. [11:14 PM] Mizuki: "And the guardian is the one linking people's minds, everything would fall apart" - telepathically
  1489. [11:14 PM] Mizuki: (stop reading my mind Raz!)
  1490. [11:14 PM] Mizuki: (and don't bully me Azura! :sadpopo:)
  1491. [11:15 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ( :smugpopo: )
  1492. [11:15 PM] Faerie: (My character's a dunce, not an idiot!)
  1493.  
  1494. [11:15 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The raven cleans her wings a little.
  1495. [11:15 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Recelle hums. "Well..." She looks at Lexon and Princess for ideas.
  1496. [11:16 PM] Mizuki: "Would we be able to take the amulet?" - Asked Alicia to the cleric
  1497. [11:16 PM] Mizuki: "Is it bound by some sort of magical barrier?"
  1498. [11:16 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Huh?" The cleric seems surprised.
  1499. [11:16 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "... It's theoretically possible, yeah."
  1500. [11:16 PM] Faerie: (This reminds me bit of Many-as-One... Silent King too, maybe?)
  1501. [11:16 PM] Faerie: (Wait, SILENT? Fuck, man.)
  1502. [11:17 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Who's not here anymore? :smugpopo:
  1503.  
  1504. [11:18 PM] Sawai: (I am, just :sadpopo: )
  1505. [11:18 PM] §upposition: (:happypopo:)(edited)
  1506. [11:18 PM] Runic: (I'm here)
  1507. [11:18 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Well, you are given a moment to formulate a plan.
  1508. [11:18 PM] Mizuki: "Then I have a plan" - Said Alicia - "Azura suggested us to take the amulet, and that's what we're doing to do"
  1509. [11:18 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: In character, anyway.
  1510. [11:18 PM] Sawai: (it moves too fast for me to think of anything to say :sadpopo: )
  1511. [11:18 PM] Runic: (Lexon is still at the messhall still napping)
  1512. [11:18 PM] Faerie: (Oh)
  1513. [11:19 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The cleric explains the process. You are to be brought to the hall of Conversion "or some shit", and there you will be brought before the knights and the Axiom, where it will "do something to you".
  1514. [11:19 PM] §upposition: "I'll go with whatever you all come up with, it's all a mess to me." Denalthir shrugs.
  1515. [11:19 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: That's the process.
  1516. [11:19 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: And you are now ... going to plan!
  1517. [11:19 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (I am going to heat up some food)
  1518. NEW MESSAGES
  1519. [11:19 PM] Faerie: (Time4tea)
  1520. [11:19 PM] Mizuki: "We're going to pretend we're joining the hivemind and enter the room, without any resistance from the guardian. When we're inside, we simply take the amulet and crontrol the guardian to do our bidding and completely break the hivemind" - Explained Alicia - "It's beyond simple really, but might work."
  1521. [11:20 PM] §upposition: "...That sounds like it could go horribly wrong."
  1522. [11:20 PM] Faerie: (my legs still hurt like fuck, ouch)
  1523. [11:20 PM] Mizuki: "Obviously, it won't be that easy..." - Said Alicia - "But... I don't think we have any other choice"
  1524. [11:21 PM] Faerie: "Maybe the Axiom has its own directives to follow?"
  1525. [11:21 PM] §upposition: "Ah well, it is as it will be. I'll do what I must."
  1526.  
  1527. [11:22 PM] Faerie: Razmik absent-mindedly ponders. Maybe it answered to something else, as well
  1528. [11:22 PM] §upposition: Denalthir sits on the floor, disinterestedly.
  1529. [11:22 PM] Faerie: Maybe a goal, or maybe even an idea, as he himself was...
  1530. [11:23 PM] Mizuki: (paladin talk everyone)
  1531. [11:23 PM] Faerie: "Ah, if only it were a bit more open to talking instead of hacking away at whatever it doesn't agree with"
  1532. [11:24 PM] Faerie: That'd probably make things too easy, and it's not like people hadn't tried before.
  1533. [11:24 PM] Faerie: "Any more ideas?"
  1534.  
  1535. [11:24 PM] Faerie: (I'll make sure to point out any nerd talk from now on)
  1536. [11:25 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Alright.
  1537. [11:25 PM] Mizuki: (:sadpopo:)
  1538. [11:25 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Let the Knights know when you are ready to be brougth for Conversion.
  1539. [11:25 PM] Mizuki: (I...)
  1540. [11:25 PM] Mizuki: (need to head to bed)
  1541. [11:25 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Oh. Yeah. It's getting late.)
  1542. [11:25 PM] Kaperis: (Back!)
  1543. [11:25 PM] Mizuki: (:sadpopo:)
  1544. [11:25 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (spare me 10 minutes?)
  1545. [11:26 PM] Mizuki: (mhm, sure)
  1546. [11:26 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Let's hurry up for Mizu can sleep.
  1547. [11:26 PM] Kaperis: (Just in time to end :sadpopo: )
  1548. [11:26 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You formulate a plan.
  1549. [11:26 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The knight's called.
  1550. [11:26 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: They acknowledge you, and ... Orders you to follow them.
  1551. [11:26 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You walk up a spiral of stairs, to the top of the heart of the Complex.
  1552. [11:27 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ...
  1553. [11:27 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Present before you, is a hallway with 12 knights on guard duty, and one iron golem, seemingly looming over the room.
  1554. [11:27 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: On a pedistal... Is a piece of amulet, wrapped around a piece of metal.
  1555. [11:28 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Come forth, champion." A voice calls out, from the metallic shard.
  1556.  
  1557. [11:28 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The room is quiet, without sound.
  1558. [11:28 PM] Sawai: Holds onto Recelle, cowering
  1559. [11:28 PM] Kaperis: John steps forward, unhesitating.
  1560. [11:29 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Recelle pets the princess gently... Readying to pull her musket and dagger when situation goes down. When, not if.
  1561. [11:29 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Who's the ones that my knights claim to be worthy of the blessing? Come forth, and kneel down!" The voice calls.
  1562. [11:29 PM] Faerie: (Alicia blew it up real good. The end.)
  1563. [11:29 PM] Mizuki: "Princess, with me" - Whispered Alicia - "We're going to get that amulet with mage hand... Together"
  1564. [11:30 PM] Sawai: "O-ok", whispers
  1565. [11:30 PM] Faerie: (WHAT)
  1566. [11:30 PM] Mizuki: Alicia awaits for John to make a distraction(edited)
  1567. [11:30 PM] §upposition: Denalthir gets closer to the wizards. "I can give you a hand too y'know..."
  1568. [11:30 PM] Faerie: Razmik follows John and takes a knee.
  1569. [11:31 PM] Kaperis: John doesn't kneel right away. "I'm not here to accept your blessing, sir. I'm here to tell you we don't want trouble." John says.
  1570. [11:31 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "What? What trickery do you present? You come here to be converted, no?"
  1571. [11:31 PM] Faerie: ''What is it that you seek to do?'', Razmik asks, bluntly.
  1572. [11:32 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Become mine, and together, we will change the world! It will become a place of absolute law, where nobody will suffer anymore. Utopia."
  1573. [11:32 PM] Faerie: ''It seemed to react like a sentient being to John just now'', he notes.
  1574. [11:32 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Now, behave."
  1575. [11:32 PM] Kaperis: "No trickery. We'll fight if you try to force us to convert... but that's a bad idea. It'd be a waste." John tries his best to look imposing. He doesn't succeed, but he does look resolved.
  1576. [11:32 PM] Mizuki: "Not yet..." - She whispers
  1577. [11:33 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "What? Why? Do you not wish for the world to unite as one against the undead threat?"
  1578. [11:33 PM] Faerie: ''Law? What do the people outside this building care about law?'', he thinks it over. John seemed adamant on not converting, as well...
  1579. [11:33 PM] Mizuki: (I have no idea when to do it LOL)
  1580. [11:33 PM] §upposition: "I have a Plan B just in case...it's a horrible plan. Please succeed Alicia." Denalthir whispers
  1581. [11:34 PM] Mizuki: (ganbatte Fae, Kap)
  1582. [11:34 PM] Faerie: (Just hol up for now)
  1583. [11:34 PM] Sawai: (h-help)
  1584. [11:34 PM] §upposition: "...Actually."
  1585. [11:34 PM] Kaperis: "That sounds nice, but... is it working?" John challenges. "I saw your knights struggling with some shadows just outside. This Complex is pretty secure... but you don't have the ability to make progress outside of these walls, do you?"(edited)
  1586. [11:34 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The shard of metal hisses. "Trickery. Trickery. Trickery! It does not matter, join us! Or else! Those reasoning, they are against my words!"
  1587. [11:34 PM] §upposition: "...Maybe...I can block those things' line of sight?"
  1588. [11:34 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "I am the absolute law!"
  1589. [11:35 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: A wave of mental force washes over the party!
  1590. [11:35 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Wisdom save!

  1738.  
  1739. [11:45 PM] §upposition: (Me :sadpopo:)
  1740. [11:45 PM] Faerie: (Be very careful, don't end near any knights, or anything
  1741. [11:45 PM] Sawai: Walks up to the amulet, picks it up, walks back behind Recelle and wears it.
  1742. [11:45 PM] §upposition: (Hey, she thought it was a good plan)
  1743. [11:45 PM] Faerie: If you can, shield yourself behind someone else!)
  1744. [11:45 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You pick up the amulet.
  1745. [11:45 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: As you lift it, time swirls to normal.
  1746. [11:45 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Go get them, my-"
  1747. [11:45 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Wait, huh?"
  1748. [11:45 PM] Mizuki: (RIP)
  1749. [11:45 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... You put on the amulet.
  1750. [11:45 PM] Faerie: Razmik jumps back on!
  1751. [11:46 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Wait, no, no! GIVE THAT BACK!"
  1752. [11:46 PM] Mizuki: "Wait, what the hell"
  1753. [11:46 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The knights slump, looking confused at each other.
  1754. [11:46 PM] Mizuki: "What just happened?" - Asked Alicia confused(edited)
  1755. [11:46 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "What the...." "What-"
  1756. [11:46 PM] Faerie: As he's about to pull out his sword to charge back towards the knights, everyone... just kind of stops, for a second?
  1757. [11:46 PM] §upposition: "Hold on...H-Hime?" Denalthir looks up incredulously at her
  1758. [11:46 PM] Sawai: (is this the second time the day is saved by rolling 99 on a d100? :sadpopo: )
  1759. [11:46 PM] Faerie: ''What, uh, what happened?''
  1760. [11:46 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The shield guardian ceased functioning for a moment, before turning to the princess.
  1761. [11:47 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It kneels in front of the princess.
  1762. [11:47 PM] Kaperis: "... h-huh?" John's lost.
  1763. [11:47 PM] Mizuki: (tfw hime stole my spotlight)
  1764. [11:47 PM] Mizuki: (:sob:)
  1765. [11:47 PM] §upposition: (tfw my hoboing caused this)
  1766. [11:47 PM] Faerie: (Well, according to the table that's not the associated effect, but... Rule of C O O L, plus 98's a sufficiently high roll)
  1767. [11:47 PM] Runic: (pets Mizu)
  1768. [11:47 PM] Faerie: (Jesus fucking christ, you guys)
  1769.  
  1770. [11:48 PM] Sawai: (d-do I control it?)(edited)
  1771. [11:48 PM] Faerie: ...
  1772. [11:48 PM] Kaperis: (It was plan C! Negotiations broke down and the mage hand trick was sabatoged! Don't feel bad...)
  1773. [11:48 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Princess. You have gained the service of a Shield Guardian.
  1774. [11:48 PM] Faerie: Razmik turns to the Axiom. Or something?
  1775. [11:48 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: For as long as you wear the amulet, it's able to follow you and guard you.
  1776. [11:48 PM] Sawai: ( :satisfiedpopo: )
  1777. [11:49 PM] Mizuki: Alicia doesn't get what happened at all... Her plan...
  1778. [11:49 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It's extremely strong as a companion, however, and employing it in combat other than passively as a defense for you causes the party to ... Lose experience.
  1779. [11:49 PM] Faerie: ''How did you end up here?'' Maybe not having a literal army at its beck and call would make it less hesitant to converse?
  1780. [11:49 PM] Kaperis: (Oh no, Jeigans)
  1781.  
  1782. [11:49 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The knights looks at each other, confused.
  1783. [11:49 PM] §upposition: Denalthir just kind of...dissipates her eyes from the guardians. And...thinks about what she's done.
  1784. [11:49 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The shard screams.
  1785. [11:49 PM] Sawai: "Hmmph."
  1786. [11:50 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "NO! GIVE IT BACK!"
  1787. [11:50 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "You can't control it! You don't control anyone anymore! GIVE IT BACK!"
  1788. [11:50 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "The Complex will crumble because of you!"
  1789.  
  1790. [11:50 PM] Sawai: "And?", tilts her head
  1791. [11:50 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Recelle sneers, and snatches the metallic shard.
  1792. [11:50 PM] Faerie: What was with everything and everyone obviously deranged losing their cool when all was said and done?
  1793. [11:51 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: And squeezes. "Listen here. Don't you scream at my employer!"
  1794. [11:51 PM] Faerie: ''That's a lie, isn't it?''
  1795. [11:51 PM] Kaperis: "This thing is just crazy, huh," John remarks, bemused. "What happened to you, anyway?"
  1796. [11:51 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Mizu, you can go to bed)
  1797. [11:51 PM] Mizuki: "Smash that shard, hime!" - Said Alicia laughing. She doesn't get what happened, but whatever. It worked.
  1798. [11:51 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (It should be fine, give 460 XP total)
  1799. [11:51 PM] Faerie: ''A certain someone already explained this whole deal to us.'', he taunts.
  1800. [11:51 PM] Mizuki: (s-soon)
  1801. [11:52 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Recelle looks at the shard for a moment. Hm.
  1802. [11:52 PM] Sawai: Commands the shield guardian to crush the shard.
  1803. [11:52 PM] Faerie: (Look at that, just got exactly 10% of my past experience value)
  1804. [11:52 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Recelle tosses the shard at the shield guardian.
  1805. [11:52 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "What? No-"
  1806. [11:52 PM] Faerie: ''Wait, w-''
  1807. [11:52 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The shield guardian clamps his hands down on it.
  1808. [11:52 PM] §upposition: "Heh"
  1809. [11:52 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ...
  1810. [11:52 PM] Mizuki: (pffft)
  1811. [11:52 PM] Faerie: Razmik reaches out to the guardian
  1812. [11:53 PM] Mizuki: (cool)
  1813. [11:53 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Razmik, dexterity check.
  1814. [11:53 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 1d20-1

  1821. [11:53 PM] Mizuki: (YOU RUINED THE FUN)
  1822. [11:53 PM] Faerie: ''These people break fucking everything they touch'', the voice inside his head points out.
  1823. [11:53 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: @Faerie Dexterity check. :neutral_face:

  1825. [11:54 PM] Mizuki: (he already did)

  1840. [11:54 PM] Kaperis: (Spiking the football is bad, okay)
  1841. [11:54 PM] Faerie: roll 1d20-1
  1842. [11:54 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20-1]: 20, Result: 19
  1843. [11:54 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You snatched the shard before it was crushed, Razmik.
  1844. [11:54 PM] Sawai: ( :sadpopo: )
  1845. [11:54 PM] Kaperis: (>Nat 20)
  1846. [11:54 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The shield guardian turns toward you, puzzled.
  1847. [11:54 PM] Faerie: (Wow, get fucked)
  1848. [11:54 PM] Kaperis: (Welp)
  1849. [11:55 PM] Mizuki: (Hime, smash Raz now!)
  1850. [11:55 PM] Mizuki: (He's getting brainwashed!!)
  1851. [11:55 PM] Faerie: A cold sweat washes over Razmik. S-she wouldn't... right?
  1852. [11:55 PM] §upposition: (MY FUCJKING FACE WHEN HIME IS THE BOSS OF THIS LEVEL)
  1853. [11:55 PM] Faerie: He lifts his fingers, as if to speak up
  1854. [11:55 PM] Faerie: (oh no)
  1855. [11:55 PM] Mizuki: (now listen up you lil shit)
  1856. [11:55 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "T-thank you sir." The shard seems a lot more obdient.
  1857. [11:56 PM] Faerie: (>SIR)
  1858.  
  1859. [11:56 PM] §upposition: "D-do those things keep following orders if interrupted...?"
  1860. [11:56 PM] Sawai: "Hmmph.", proceeds to leave the room
  1861. [11:56 PM] Mizuki: (>stole my spotlight)
  1862. [11:56 PM] Mizuki: (>Fae ruined my fun)
  1863. [11:56 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The shield guardian... Looks at Razmik. Then at Princess. Then at Razmik. Then at Princess.
  1864. [11:56 PM] Mizuki: (just end it all)
  1865. [11:56 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It runs after the princess.
  1866. [11:56 PM] Faerie: ''Turncoating like that's disgusting, you don't have to do that.'' He places the shard against his side, slightly tucked under his arm.
  1867. [11:57 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "I am sorry I won't do that again."
  1868. [11:57 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The shard whimpers.
  1869. [11:57 PM] Kaperis: Wow, that's a well behaved guardian~ Or so John thinks.
  1870. [11:57 PM] Mizuki: (:sadpopo:)
  1871. [11:57 PM] Faerie: That was pathetic. Razmik felt kind of sad for it...
  1872. [11:57 PM] Sawai: ( My NPC army will eventually outclass the PC party :smugsatori: )
  1873. [11:58 PM] Kaperis: John looks at the shard. "Y'know, you don't really seem like a supernatural Axiom-thing... what are you, anyway?"
  1874. [11:58 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Erm. Well."
  1875. [11:58 PM] Mizuki: "What kind of ma- uh... Shard are you?" - Asked Alicia
  1876. [11:58 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The shade vibrates for a moment. "I am just a... A normal shard. Yes."
  1877. [11:58 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Nothing suspcious. Nope."
  1878. [11:58 PM] Faerie: ''Yeah, starting there would be nice, please do so.''
  1879. [11:58 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: *the shard
  1880. [11:58 PM] Faerie: A normal shard?
  1881.  
  1882. [11:59 PM] Faerie: (Seems legit)
  1883. [11:59 PM] Kaperis: John crosses his arms. Wait a minute...
  1884. [11:59 PM] Mizuki: "How boring" - Lamented Alicia
  1885. [11:59 PM] Kaperis: ... Insight check! Has John heard this 'voice' before?
  1886. [11:59 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: John, Investigation.
  1887. [11:59 PM] Mizuki: (can I roll too?)
  1888. [11:59 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Sure.
  1889. [11:59 PM] Kaperis: (Insight or Investigation?)
  1890. [11:59 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Investigation)
  1891. [11:59 PM] Faerie: roll 1d20-1
  1892. [11:59 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20-1]: 18, Result: 17
  1893. [12:00 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Well. I am going to need to reward extra XP, it seems.
  1894.  
  1895. [12:00 AM] Kaperis: roll 1d20+3
  1896. [12:00 AM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+3]: 1, Result: 4
  1897. [12:00 AM] Faerie: (And you hacks wanted it gone :smugpopo:)
  1898. [12:00 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: The shard is a shard of bone.
  1899. [12:00 AM] Kaperis: ( :sadpopo: )
  1900. [12:00 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Not just any normal bone.
  1901. [12:00 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: It was part of a whole.
  1902. [12:00 AM] Mizuki: roll 1d20+12
  1903. [12:00 AM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+12]: 7, Result: 19
  1904. [12:00 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Of a whole artifact.
  1905. [12:00 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: This shard is one part of the Wand of Orcus.
  1906. [12:00 AM] Faerie: (Oh man.)
  1907. [12:01 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: The one artifact that was destroyed wrong, and ended the world.
  1908. [12:01 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "J-just a normal shard, sir."
  1909.  
  1910. [12:01 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... Revealing the shard's identify... (560 XP total).
  1911. [12:01 AM] Kaperis: "But... a normal shard means you're a part of something else, right?" John reasons.
  1912. [12:02 AM] Mizuki: "You lying fuck" - Alicia realizes what the shard really is - "Why are you even trying to fight undead?"
  1913. [12:02 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Y-yes, what do you... Why... Of course, nothing..."
  1914. [12:02 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "..."
  1915.  
  1916. [12:02 AM] Faerie: (Oh no. How much more exp than what we initially got is that?)
  1917. [12:02 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (100)
  1918. [12:02 AM] Kaperis: (This session was a lot of XP~)
  1919. [12:03 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "I am just a normal shard, alright?" The piece of wand complains. "I don't want to be here, I don't watn to be broken, I don't want to end my purpose!"
  1920. [12:03 AM] Faerie: (Man.)
  1921. [12:03 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "If the world is completely gone... If the world's ended... Then nobody would need me anymore."
  1922. [12:03 AM] Kaperis: Does someone explain all this magic mumbo jumbo to John? Because he doesn't even.
  1923. [12:03 AM] Faerie: (Oh, maaaaaan.)
  1924. [12:03 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Who would need a wand that raises the dead, if... if the world is already dead?"
  1925. [12:03 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Not like this! I don't want the world to end like this!" It screeches, sobbing.
  1926.  
  1927. [12:04 AM] Faerie: ''...Can you still raise the dead?''
  1928. [12:04 AM] Mizuki: ((((((((((((((((((((((((((:sadpopo:)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
  1929. [12:04 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "..." It pauses.
  1930. [12:04 AM] §upposition: Denalthir places a hand on John's shoulder and shrugs.
  1931. [12:04 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Erm, no."
  1932. [12:04 AM] Sawai: (do I have to be attuned to the amulet?)
  1933. [12:04 AM] Sawai: (can I even keep the amulet? :sadpopo: )
  1934. [12:04 AM] Kaperis: (Why wouldn't you?)
  1935. [12:04 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (You can keep the amulet, and wear it.)
  1936. [12:04 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Don't need to be attuned to it, but I advise you to)
  1937. [12:05 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (That way it can't just be snatched up by some random fuck and worn.)
  1938. [12:05 AM] Sawai: (what does attuning do, if not necessary?)
  1939. [12:05 AM] Faerie: (If you're not attuned, I think any other wiznerd can snatch it from you)
  1940. [12:05 AM] Sawai: (oh)
  1941.  
  1942. [12:05 AM] Sawai: (when can I attune it?)
  1943. [12:05 AM] Faerie: Well.
  1944. [12:05 AM] Mizuki: ( steals hime's amulet )
  1945. [12:05 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: As the Shard of Wand of Orcus of the Orcus Set, the shard is capable of...
  1946. [12:05 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: 1/day, Suggestion.
  1947. [12:05 AM] Faerie: Razmik takes a deep breath.
  1948. [12:05 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: And that's unreliable.
  1949. [12:05 AM] Sawai: ( :surprisedpopo: )
  1950. [12:05 AM] Faerie: (Whoa)
  1951. [12:05 AM] §upposition: (Our true enemy was not the undead...but envy...)
  1952. [12:05 AM] Sawai: ( I've read what that spell does)
  1953.  
  1954. [12:06 AM] Faerie: (Is that legit envy, though?)
  1955. [12:06 AM] Kaperis: "So, wait. Are you saying there's a way to un-break the world?" John asks.
  1956. [12:07 AM] Kaperis: (Also, what are all the knights doing now?)
  1957. [12:07 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Huh?" The shard pauses. "Do I look like a spellbook to you? Of course not. But if... Humanity ends here, if there's no more life, there can't be death, and undeath!"
  1958. [12:07 AM] Mizuki: "A piece of the want that raised undead, trying to fight the dead" - Alicia laughs - "This is too good"
  1959. [12:07 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "And that makes me meaningless!"
  1960.  
  1961. [12:07 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: The knights are... confused.
  1962. [12:07 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: They are asking each other for detail of what happened.
  1963. [12:07 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: One asks you what happened.
  1964. [12:08 AM] Faerie: ''Were you self-aware before the Wand of Orcus blew up? As a single unit, I mean''
  1965. [12:08 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Huh? Nah." The shade vibrates.
  1966. [12:08 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: *Shard
  1967. [12:09 AM] Kaperis: John explains everything to the the confused knights. About how they were being controlled, and how they've been holding this place against all odds until now.(edited)
  1968. [12:09 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "That... moment, when I was broken by Orcus's design. I feel betrayed. I don't want the world to end like this. Not like this. This isn't what I was made for." It seems to be in denial.
  1969. [12:09 AM] Mizuki: "What do you plan to do now?" - Asked Alicia entertained
  1970. [12:10 AM] Kaperis: (I can think of an adequate punishment for the Shard.)
  1971. NEW MESSAGES
  1972. [12:10 AM] Faerie: ''You'll tell the truth from now on, is that clear?'' Razmik holds up the shard, as if to show it to everyone else.
  1973.  
  1974. [12:10 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Yes sir."
  1975. [12:10 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: The knights look at Razmik.
  1976. [12:10 AM] Kaperis: (Let Denalthir have it.)
  1977. [12:10 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Some of them nods at John, seemingly understanding.
  1978. [12:10 AM] Faerie: (Oh NOOOOO)
  1979. [12:10 AM] §upposition: Denalthir stares at the shard
  1980. [12:10 AM] Mizuki: (YES)
  1981. [12:10 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "... I can feel my strength returning." One of them comments.
  1982.  
  1983. [12:11 AM] §upposition: "Hey, it could be lying you know. Don't trust it so easily."
  1984. [12:11 AM] Faerie: Without yet registering the knights and their musings, Razmik keeps battering the shard with unsubtle questions. ''What's keeping you?''
  1985. [12:11 AM] Mizuki: Alicia snatches the shard from Raz's hand with Mage Hand
  1986. [12:11 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Bah! Only a fool lie! The only thing the world need to do is to unite together and fight the und-"
  1987. [12:11 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: It was tugged by Alicia.
  1988. [12:12 AM] Mizuki: (FUN)
  1989. [12:12 AM] §upposition: "By design? What on earth could Orcus be doing that his wand wouldn't know of or want."
  1990. [12:12 AM] Kaperis: "Were you were all paladins, once?" John asks. He points out the torn out insignias in their armor.
  1991. [12:12 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Hey! Stop it!" It flies across the air to Alicia. "It's making me dizzy!"
  1992. [12:12 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Town guard." One says.
  1993. [12:12 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Paladin, of Lathander." (!)
  1994. [12:12 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Paladin!"
  1995. [12:12 AM] Faerie: ''What stormed in here to tell you that you absolutely had to do what whichever deity made you to do? Don't you think it's a waste to be aware and be confined to just that?''
  1996. [12:12 AM] Mizuki: "Now, you better not be lying or you're about to become two shards" - Said Alicia smiling
  1997. [12:12 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Yes, St. Cuthbert."
  1998. [12:12 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Mercenary here."
  1999. [12:12 AM] §upposition: Denalthir stares right into the shard with Alicia
  2000.  
  2001. [12:13 AM] Kaperis: Well, then. John looks at the others. "Y'know, this looks a lot like an army to me."
  2002. [12:13 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: They look at each other.(edited)
  2003. [12:13 AM] Faerie: Razmik glances over to the knights. Wonders how they got pulled into this, each and every one...
  2004. [12:13 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Huh."
  2005. [12:14 AM] Kaperis: "Maybe there is one thing the crazy shard's right about."
  2006. [12:14 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: ...
  2007. [12:14 AM] Faerie: ''The walls are already in place.'', he suggests after John.
  2008. [12:14 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Everyone." A paladin stands up. "Those brothers of ours speak the truth."
  2009. [12:15 AM] Mizuki: "Catch, Denalthir" - Said Alicia throwing the shard to the purple haired girl
  2010. [12:15 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: The shard screeches softly.
  2011. [12:15 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: It seems to be dazed from being tossed around already.
  2012. [12:15 AM] §upposition: (Do I need to roll or is it just a casual pass)
  2013. [12:15 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "... Ahem." The paladin clears her throat.
  2014. [12:15 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (No need to roll)
  2015. [12:16 AM] Mizuki: (casual)
  2016. [12:16 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Well, we'll figure it out." The paladin shrugs.
  2017. [12:16 AM] Faerie: ''Awakened, of Lathander!'', Razmik introduces to his brothers and... sister.
  2018.  
  2019. [12:16 AM] §upposition: Denalthir catches it. "You'll have fun with me little guy." Grin(edited)
  2020. [12:16 AM] Mizuki: "I'll go down there and drink a bit more" - She said laughing - "That was a nice joke, this shard... Ehehe"
  2021. [12:16 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: The female paladin waves her hand. "Apologies, child, but I am of Red Knight. My brother there is of Tempus, and that one over there is Lathander's..."
  2022. [12:17 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: She points to another young maiden, clad in armor, looking rather gallant.
  2023. [12:17 AM] Faerie: Come on, didn't those two seem a bit two casual about this whole thing? They still had plenty of things to clarify. Or at least Razmik thought.
  2024. [12:17 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "..." She regards Razmik
  2025. [12:17 AM] Mizuki: Alicia heads to Aleswell and drinks to her heart's content~!
  2026. [12:17 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Hail." She says, smiling softly.
  2027. [12:17 AM] Kaperis: John picks out the one who said St. Cuthbert. "Here, you should take this, then." He hands him the morning star he'd taken earlier. That's probably the right thing to do, he thinks.
  2028. [12:17 AM] Mizuki: (going to bed now, nighty!)
  2029. [12:17 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: ...
  2030. [12:17 AM] Kaperis: (Night Mizu~)
  2031. [12:17 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Night Mizu!)
  2032. [12:18 AM] §upposition: (Nini!)
  2033.  
  2034. [12:18 AM] Faerie: (>storms into the bar
  2035. wew, what a way to end)
  2036. [12:18 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: John: You returned the morning star to the paladin, explaining what happened.
  2037. [12:18 AM] §upposition: ("I'm gonna need 5 drinks for this one")
  2038. [12:18 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: The paladin, an old gentleman, nods solemnly...
  2039. [12:18 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Tears formed on his eyes.
  2040. [12:18 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "He was a good kid. You did good there, friend."
  2041. [12:19 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "May the Blessing of St. Cthubert be with you, young one." He makes a prayer, and touches your shoulder, John.
  2042. [12:19 AM] Faerie: ''I'm humbled to be in presence of you all. But what exactly...'', he takes some time to ask for their stories, for broad strokes of what saw them brought under the shard's conversion.
  2043. [12:20 AM] Kaperis: "Oh, it wasn't-- huh?" John recieves a blessing?
  2044. [12:20 AM] Mizuki: (oh Koga)
  2045. [12:20 AM] Faerie: (Boy, imagine how many really really confused people there's gotta be in the streets right now)
  2046. [12:20 AM] Mizuki: (is the 500 or so exp couting the shadows one?)
  2047. [12:20 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Counting)
  2048. [12:20 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: John: You gain Blessing of the Truthseeker. Once per day, you are able to invoke the scriptures of Saint Cuthbert.
  2049. [12:21 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: When you do so, you radiates Zone of Truth.
  2050. [12:21 AM] Faerie: (WE GESTALT NOW???)
  2051. [12:21 AM] Kaperis: (All this sidequest booty :smugpopo: )
  2052. [12:21 AM] §upposition: (OH MY GOD)
  2053. [12:21 AM] Sawai: (wait, how much total exp?)
  2054. [12:21 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (560 XP)
  2055.  
  2056. [12:21 AM] Faerie: (DOES THE PRINCESS GET 5 MELEE ATTACKS NOW?)
  2057. [12:21 AM] Sawai: ( :surprisedpopo: )
  2058. [12:21 AM] Sawai: (why?)
  2059. [12:21 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (faepls)
  2060. [12:21 AM] Faerie: (Just kidding, don't do that)
  2061. [12:22 AM] §upposition: (>lose 10 xp every time you attack with a soldier)
  2062. [12:22 AM] Kaperis: John knows the scriptures! The local church kept visiting his house on Saturdays and asking to read from them. He really ought to learn to say no... but hey, I guess it all worked out!
  2063. [12:22 AM] Sawai: (>a soldier)
  2064. [12:22 AM] Sawai: (wait, isn't there just one shield guard?)
  2065. [12:22 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Just one shield guardian. Don't be confused.)
  2066. [12:23 AM] Faerie: (It was commanding every single (now freed) knight, in turn)
  2067. [12:23 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (You lose a lot more than 10.)
  2068. [12:23 AM] §upposition: (OH I THOUGHT IT WAS LIKE 12)
  2069. [12:23 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (12 paladins-turned-controlled knight)
  2070.  
  2071. [12:23 AM] §upposition: (:sadpopo:)
  2072. [12:24 AM] Sawai: (is it really good at protecting?)
  2073. [12:24 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Each time that the Shield Guardian does more than damage sharing by Bound, and providing Shield, the encounter's XP is only worth half.
  2074. 🔫1
  2075. [12:25 AM] Faerie: (THE WHOLE FUCKING ENCOUNTER'S XP)
  2076. [12:25 AM] Faerie: (The Princess is fucking unkillable now, at least)
  2077. [12:25 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: This lasts until the party is of level ... 5.
  2078. [12:25 AM] Kaperis: (So, basically, best stick to shielding?)
  2079. [12:25 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (It's not too strong offensively anyway, so.)
  2080. [12:25 AM] Kaperis: (Poor Recelle is out of a job.)
  2081. [12:25 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Recelle: ...
  2082.  
  2083. [12:26 AM] Faerie: (Even Koga forgot about her!)
  2084. [12:26 AM] §upposition: (Recelle can be offense while the Shield Guard is defense!)
  2085. [12:26 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Except the shield guardian's average damage output per round is close to 22 :sadpopo: )
  2086. [12:26 AM] Kaperis: (Hot damn.)
  2087. [12:27 AM] Faerie: (CR of fucking 7 according to what Koga linked)
  2088. [12:27 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Its CR is primarily derived from health and defense)
  2089. [12:27 AM] Faerie: (Also, wait, I think Alicia can already use firearms and reload muskets as a bonus action. Somehow. Probably due to lots of nerd studying with Recelle's help. Could she also learn to do that?)
  2090. [12:28 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Who's she?)
  2091. [12:28 AM] Faerie: (Recelle)
  2092. [12:28 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Recelle learing that requires a bit of ... learning)
  2093. [12:28 AM] Faerie: (Like, as in, acquiring a feat... somehow)
  2094. [12:28 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (She doesn't qualify for the feat if you look carefully)
  2095. [12:28 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (It requires knowledge of arcane.)
  2096. [12:28 AM] Faerie: (Hmm.)
  2097.  
  2098. [12:28 AM] Kaperis: (John can help make the stock if Alicia wants to build a musket~)
  2099. [12:30 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: I'll do a small outro for the session. :sadpopo:
  2100. [12:30 AM] Faerie: ''Ah. Hm, yes, I see.'', Raz listens as some of his fellow Paladins go over the quick and dirty of how they got swept under the shard. ''Did this happen before or after the District was stablished as a bastion against the undead?'', he asks anyone in particular.
  2101. [12:31 AM] Faerie: (Where's that Azura statuette :sadpopo:)
  2102. [12:31 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: You have ousted the Complex's leadership, a shard of the infamous Wand of Orcus which seeks to rise against its former master, for it feels betrayed. The paladins, knights, soldiers, and merceraries that was under the shard's mind control has returned to normal, and now are working together, with some differences, to rebuild the Complex and hold off the undead threat.
  2103. [12:32 AM] Kaperis: Good day!
  2104. [12:32 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: In just a few day's time, perhaps, the place would transform, more lively under the collective rule of a group of knights and paladins.
  2105. [12:32 AM] Faerie: (>perhaps
  2106. [12:32 AM] Faerie: Fuck.)
  2107. [12:32 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: For now, you are able to get some well-deserved rest at Aleswell.
  2108. [12:32 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Good night, adventurers.
  2109. [12:33 AM] Faerie: (Oh, I thought we'd get... pulled out. Good, I was sure there was more)
  2110. [12:33 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... Sleep well, in the nightmare.
