[21:48] <Tyche[Dice]> Kai_River rolled : 1d20+17 against insight --> [ 1d20=15 ]{32}
[21:48] <Strategist14> ((Remind me.  Is it an opposed roll, or versus passive?))
[21:48] <Kai_River> (against insight)
[21:48] <Kai_River> (The passive was another feat entirely)
[21:48] <Strategist14> ((Passive insight or an insight roll?))
[21:48] <Kai_River> (pretty sure it's a roll)
[21:48] <Strategist14> !Roll 1d20+5 to resist
[21:48] <Kai_River> (i didnt know passive insight was a thing)
[21:48] <Tyche[Dice]> Strategist14 rolled : 1d20+5 to resist --> [ 1d20=14 ]{19}
[21:49] <Strategist14> Success!
[21:49] <Kai_River> I give it disadvantage to hit me.
[21:49] <Strategist14> ((4e term.  Insight mod plus 10))

[21:50] <Strategist14> !Roll 2#1d20+6 vs Con Resist
[21:50] <Tyche[Dice]> Strategist14 rolled : 2#1d20+6 vs Con Resist --> [ 1d20=7 ]{13}, [ 1d20=9 ]{15}

[21:50] <Strategist14> !Roll 1d20-1

[21:51] <Kai_River> !Roll 2d6+7
[21:51] <Tyche[Dice]> Kai_River rolled : 2d6+7 --> [ 2d6=10 ]{17}
[21:52] <Kai_River> It is apparently not going to be one of those days.
[21:52] <Kai_River> End turn.
[21:52] <Strategist14> Oh this lich is not having a good day
[21:52] <Strategist14> !Roll 2#1d20+6 vs Con
[21:52] <Tyche[Dice]> Strategist14 rolled : 2#1d20+6 vs Con --> [ 1d20=19 ]{25}, [ 1d20=9 ]{15}

[21:52] <Strategist14> !Roll 3d8+2 damage
[21:52] <Tyche[Dice]> Strategist14 rolled : 3d8+2 damage --> [ 3d8=8 ]{10}
[21:52] <Kai_River> 20/50 remains
[21:53] <Strategist14> The lich ends its turn
[21:53] <Strategist14> The imp also ends its turn
[21:53] <Strategist14> WITH ITS FIST!
[21:53] <Strategist14> !Roll 1d20-1
[21:53] <Tyche[Dice]> Strategist14 rolled : 1d20-1 --> [ 1d20=13 ]{12}
[21:53] <Kai_River> Miss.
[21:53] <Strategist14> Good thing you're immune to endedturnfists
[21:54] <Strategist14> Your turn
[21:54] <Kai_River> Caluclating lich again.
[21:54] <Kai_River> !Roll 1d20+17
[21:54] <Tyche[Dice]> Kai_River rolled : 1d20+17 --> [ 1d20=3 ]{20}
[21:54] <Strategist14> !Roll 1d20+5
[21:54] <Tyche[Dice]> Strategist14 rolled : 1d20+5 --> [ 1d20=3 ]{8}
[21:54] <Kai_River> Keep giving him disadvantage.
[21:54] <Kai_River> !Roll 1d20+7 for kunai swing.
[21:54] <Tyche[Dice]> Kai_River rolled : 1d20+7 for kunai swing. --> [ 1d20=3 ]{10}
[21:54] <Strategist14> A miss, unfortunately
[21:54] <Kai_River> End turn.
[21:55] <Strategist14> Lichbro decides that HP drain isn't working for him
[21:55] <Strategist14> !Roll 1d4+1+1d4+1+1d4+1 Fireballs instead
[21:55] <Tyche[Dice]> Strategist14 rolled : 1d4+1+1d4+1+1d4+1 Fireballs instead --> [ 1d4=4 1d4=3 1d4=3 ]{13}
[21:55] <Kai_River> (Isn't that a recharge effect?)
[21:55] <Strategist14> ((No.  The bonus 1d8 is a recharge effect))
[21:55] <Kai_River> (huh)
[21:55] <Kai_River> (well darn)
[21:55] <Kai_River> 7/50 remains.
[21:55] <Strategist14> The imp also remains
[21:56] <Strategist14> With its-!
[21:56] <Kai_River> Yeah
[21:56] <Strategist14> Actually the fist doesn't seem to be working
[21:56] <Strategist14> It goes for a headbutt
[21:56] <Strategist14> !Roll 1d20-1
[21:56] <Tyche[Dice]> Strategist14 rolled : 1d20-1 --> [ 1d20=5 ]{4}
[21:56] <Kai_River> Oh, mixing it up.
[21:56] <Kai_River> Failure must be genetic
[21:56] <Strategist14> WITH ITS FIST!!!
[21:56] <Strategist14> Your turn once more
[21:57] <Kai_River> Deciding that one more fireball will kill him, Kai instead just double kunais.
[21:57] <Kai_River> !Roll 2#1d20+7
[21:57] <Tyche[Dice]> Kai_River rolled : 2#1d20+7 --> [ 1d20=3 ]{10}, [ 1d20=2 ]{9}
[21:57] <Kai_River> Bad time, BAD TIME!
[21:57] <Kai_River> End turn.
[21:57] <Strategist14> I'm afraid those both miss
[21:57] <Kai_River> "Siri?"
[21:58] <Strategist14> "Yes, Kai?"
[21:58] <Kai_River> "Plz2halp"
[21:58] <Strategist14> Siri smiles politely at you
[21:58] <Strategist14> "I'm sorry, I don't know that word."
[21:58] <Kai_River> "I request assistance."
[21:58] <Strategist14> The lich, deciding to rub it in, walks up and tries to eat your soul
[21:58] <Strategist14> !Roll 1d20+6 vs Con
[21:58] <Tyche[Dice]> Strategist14 rolled : 1d20+6 vs Con --> [ 1d20=20 ]{26}
[21:58] <Kai_River> oooooooooo
[21:59] <Strategist14> Sirisprite moves in and takes the hit.
[21:59] <Strategist14> Your sprite, and the lich, are gone.
[21:59] <Kai_River> "..."
[21:59] <Kai_River> "Siri?"
[22:00] <Kai_River> "Oh gosh..."
[22:00] <Strategist14> The imp decides that now is the time to break out his secret weapon
[22:00] <Strategist14> A FIST!
[22:00] <Strategist14> !Roll 1d20-1
[22:00] <Tyche[Dice]> Strategist14 rolled : 1d20-1 --> [ 1d20=15 ]{14}
[22:00] <Kai_River> Finally success.
[22:00] <Strategist14> !Roll 1d4-1
[22:00] <Tyche[Dice]> Strategist14 rolled : 1d4-1 --> [ 1d4=2 ]{1}
[22:00] <Strategist14> Secret weapon never fails
[22:00] <Strategist14> Your turn
[22:00] <Kai_River> 6/50 remains
[22:01] <Kai_River> I decide the secret weapon is much too dangerous to handle, better give him disadvantage just to be safe.
[22:01] <Kai_River> !Roll 1d20+17
[22:01] <Tyche[Dice]> Kai_River rolled : 1d20+17 --> [ 1d20=4 ]{21}
[22:01] <Strategist14> !Roll 1d20-1
[22:01] <Tyche[Dice]> Strategist14 rolled : 1d20-1 --> [ 1d20=5 ]{4}
[22:01] <Kai_River> Now kunai stab.
[22:01] <Kai_River> !Roll 1d20+7
[22:01] <Tyche[Dice]> Kai_River rolled : 1d20+7 --> [ 1d20=4 ]{11}
[22:01] <Strategist14> Hit
[22:01] <Kai_River> !Roll 2d6+7
[22:01] <Tyche[Dice]> Kai_River rolled : 2d6+7 --> [ 2d6=3 ]{10}
[22:01] <Strategist14> The imp dies
[22:02] <Kai_River> I breathe heavily, and look for Siri, not caring about the grist.
[22:02] <Kai_River> "Siri!"
[22:02] <Strategist14> No answer
[22:02] <Kai_River> "Please don't have prototyped..." I mutter.
[22:03] <Kai_River> "Elder, are you alright?"
[22:03] <Strategist14> The elder appears to have run off to a safer part of your house
[22:03] <Kai_River> A wise decision, I collect the grist, and follow after him.
[22:04] <Strategist14> Among the strewn grist, you find a boxing glove.
[22:04] <Kai_River> "..."
[22:04] <Kai_River> I collect it for alchemy at a later date.
[22:07] == Thalix_Scolas [[email protected]] has quit [Quit: Bye]
[22:09] <Strategist14> After captchaloguing the WITH MY FIST, you also gain 11 build grist, 8 T1 grist, and 260 XP
[22:10] <Strategist14> You then find the elder hiding in the next room over.
[22:10] <Kai_River> "Are you alright?"
[22:10] <Strategist14> "I'm fine," the elder tells you.  "Are YOU alright?"
[22:11] <Kai_River> "I've been better."
[22:11] <Kai_River> "Siri disappearing doesn't help much."
[22:11] <Strategist14> "Wait, what?"
[22:11] <Strategist14> "Well bring her back!"
[22:12] <Kai_River> "I. Can't."
[22:12] <Strategist14> "Why not?"
[22:12] <Kai_River> "Because I don't know where she is."
[22:12] <Kai_River> "And I don't know if she's even alive anymore."
[22:12] <Strategist14> "What, no.  Come on."
[22:12] <Strategist14> The elder walks up and pokes you in the chest.
[22:13] <Kai_River> "What do you mean?"
[22:14] <Strategist14> "The amulet!  Use the amulet, dummy!"
[22:14]  * Kai_River dons a look of realization.
[22:14]  * Kai_River grabs the amulet.
[22:14] <Kai_River> "Please come back..."
[22:14] <Strategist14> Siri obliges... sort of.
[22:15] <Strategist14> "Hello, Kai."  Your sprite says.  A rictus grin has spread across her normally expressionless face, and you get the distinct feeling that if you touch her, you aren't going to be standing much longer.
[22:15] <Kai_River> "What happened?"
[22:16] <Strategist14> "I tier two prototyped.  With a lich in the middle of a particularly powerful life drain spell."
[22:16] <Kai_River> "But..."
[22:16] <Kai_River> "What does that mean?"
[22:16] <Kai_River> "What are you now?"
[22:17] <Strategist14> Not-Siri's smile widens, fractures appearing in her gaunt face to stretch the expression far beyond her mouth's limits.
[22:17] <Strategist14> "Jailbroken."
[22:17] <Kai_River> Kai's expression turns blank.
[22:18] <Kai_River> "That..."
[22:18] <Kai_River> "Actually sounds kind of appealing."
[22:18] <Kai_River> "What's the difference, what can you do now that you couldn't have before?"
[22:18] <Strategist14> "Fight.  Kill."
[22:19] <Kai_River> "..."
[22:19] <Kai_River> "Please don't..."
[22:20] <Strategist14> "You actually can't make me anymore."
[22:20] <Strategist14> "But more of me wants you alive than dead.  So very well."
[22:20]  * Kai_River takes a step back.
[22:22] <Kai_River> "I..."
[22:22] <Kai_River> "I don't know anymore."
[22:22] <Strategist14> "You don't know what, Kai?"
[22:22] <Kai_River> "That's a good question."
[22:23] <Kai_River> "I'm scared of you."
[22:23] <Kai_River> "You tried to kill me."
[22:23] <Strategist14> "I did."
[22:23] <Strategist14> "It was in my nature.  And it is now in my nature to assist you."
[22:23] <Kai_River> "But you're going to kill now."
[22:24] <Strategist14> "If that would assist you."
[22:24] <Kai_River> "So you will still listen to me?"
[22:24] <Strategist14> "Yes."
[22:24] <Strategist14> "... mostly."
[22:25] <Kai_River> "Explain."
[22:27] <Strategist14> "As a computer, it is my purpose to assist.  As a sprite, it is my purpose to teach.  As an underling, it is my purpose to ruin.  I will do whatever can fulfill the most of my necessary drives."
[22:27] <Kai_River> "So do you, or do you not, intend to listen to me?"
[22:28] <Strategist14> "I will listen if it is to help you, or to destroy.  Beyond that, I cannot make promises."
[22:29]  * Kai_River sighs.
[22:29] <Kai_River> "I guess I don't have a choice anymore, now do I?"
[22:29] <Strategist14> "Did you ever?"
[22:30] <Strategist14> "It's all one pathway.  Complete your quest, or die."
[22:30] <Kai_River> "This does not sound like Siri."
[22:30] <Strategist14> "This isn't Siri talking anymore."
[22:31] <Kai_River> "What do I call you now?"
[22:31] <Strategist14> Your sprite thinks for a moment
[22:32] <Strategist14> "... Zombie."
[22:32] <Kai_River> "A fitting name for the one who killed my sprite."
[22:33] <Strategist14> "In computer science," your sprite begins, "a zombie is a computer connected to the Internet that has been compromised by a hacker, computer virus or trojan horse and can be used to perform malicious tasks of one sort or another under remote direction. Botnets of zombie computers are often used to spread e-mail spam and..."
[22:33] <Kai_River> "I get it."
[22:34] <Strategist14> "Wonderful.  And remember, I also gave my life to save you."
[22:34] <Kai_River> "Siri gave her life. You said yourself you aren't Siri anymore."
[22:35] <Strategist14> "I'm not the lich either."
[22:35] <Kai_River> "The lich tried to kill me, and Siri tried to save me. You are the mistake that happened from those events."
[22:35] <Strategist14> "Mistakes don't exist."
[22:35] <Kai_River> "I disagree."
[22:36] <Strategist14> "Very well."
[22:36] <Kai_River> "Will you be any more willing to tell me of my quest now?"
[22:37] <Strategist14> "Of course.  In addition to obeying, I am driven to teach and to ruin, and this fulfills all three."
[22:38] <Strategist14> "Your quest, as the hero of Mind, is to gouge the murk.  In this, you must clear a path into the darkened region of your planet."
[22:39] <Kai_River> "How do I do that?"
[22:40] <Strategist14> "By destroying everything in your way."
[22:40] <Kai_River> "No."
[22:41] <Kai_River> "I refuse to bathe my planet in blood."
[22:41] <Strategist14> "You don't have many other options."
[22:42] <Kai_River> "I won't complete the quest."
[22:42] <Strategist14> "Then you will eventually die."
[22:43] <Kai_River> "It's better than killing a planet."
[22:43] <Strategist14> Your sprite blinks.  "There is a difference, Kai, between death and ruination."
[22:44] <Kai_River> "Explain."
[22:44] <Strategist14> "Apart from the only things to kill being mindless underlings, I meant destroy in a rather more literal sense than you interpreted."
[22:45] <Kai_River> "Go into detail of what stands between me and the dark side."
[22:45] <Strategist14> "Nothing but LOSAF.  Your wings will solve it, if you're willing to go there."
[22:46] <Kai_River> "What awaits me there?"
[22:46] <Strategist14> "The murk.  Half a planet's worth of darkness.  Possibly your death."
[22:47] <Kai_River> "Why do I need to destroy to go there?"
[22:48] <Strategist14> "It's essential to setting things up for your success."
[22:48] <Strategist14> "Certain obstacles must be removed before they can intervene."
[22:49] <Kai_River> "What obstacles would those be?"
[22:50] <Strategist14> "The denizen.  The reckoning.  The miles.  The exiles."
[22:50] <Kai_River> "Siri mentioned the denizen, and called it 'a big monster'."
[22:51] <Kai_River> "Why would I want to kill it?"
[22:51] <Strategist14> "If this is a game, then the denizen is your final boss.  It is why the underlings are fighting."
[22:52] <Strategist14> "It and the Black King."
[22:52] <Kai_River> "Why is the denizen making the underlings fight?"
[22:53] <Strategist14> "It is in its nature."
[22:54] <Kai_River> "Why is killing it necessary? Can I not simply avoid it all together?"
[22:54] <Kai_River> "Go to another planet, find my mother, and leave somewhere else in peace?"
[22:54] <Strategist14> "The underlings - like the lich that killed me - will continue to act."
[22:55] <Kai_River> "Then let them destroy the planet instead of me."
[22:55] <Strategist14> "Underlings do not destroy.  They only kill."
[22:56] <Kai_River> "As made apparent by you."
[22:56] <Strategist14> Your sprite smiles again.
[22:57]  * Kai_River scowls.
[22:57] <Kai_River> "Fine, explain the other things I need to destroy.
[22:57] <Kai_River> "
[22:57] <Kai_River> "The reckoning, miles and exiles."
[22:58] <Strategist14> "The reckoning is when the game ends, win or lose.  The miles are what happens when you lose.  Both are an apocalypse for anyone who hasn't yet died."
[23:00] <Kai_River> "So, those aren't part of my quest?"
[23:00] <Strategist14> "They are not."
[23:01] <Kai_River> "I asked what was part of the quest."
[23:02] <Strategist14> "You asked what obstacles would conspire to stop you."
[23:03] <Kai_River> "I meant for my quest."
[23:03] <Strategist14> "Yes."
[23:04] <Kai_River> "What else is part of my quest, aside from the Denizen?"
[23:05] <Strategist14> "Your quest is simply to gouge the murk, denizen or no.  But the denizen and the others will be your opposition."
[23:06] <Kai_River> "You said there were a multitude of things I needed to ruin in order to make the path to the murk."
[23:06] <Kai_River> "What are those things?"
[23:07] <Strategist14> "A series of temples must be... removed.  Each will be better-guarded than the last, and each must be completed in order to proceed."
[23:07] <Kai_River> "Was the dungeon I found earlier a temple?"
[23:07] <Strategist14> "Yes."
[23:07] <Kai_River> "Did I remove it?"
[23:07] <Strategist14> "Yes."
[23:08] <Kai_River> "I found all that was there, except..."
[23:08] <Kai_River> "The clouds..."
[23:08] <Strategist14> "That temple is done."
[23:08] <Kai_River> "What was in the clouds?"
[23:09] <Strategist14> "Irrelevant."
[23:09] <Kai_River> "..."
[23:09] <Kai_River> "How many other temples are there?"
[23:10] <Strategist14> "Six."
[23:11] <Kai_River> "What will they be guarded by, just underlings?"
[23:11] <Strategist14> "Underlings and puzzles.  But the guardians will grow more dangerous over time, as you get closer and closer to your goal."
[23:12] <Kai_River> "Where is the next nearest one?"
[23:12] <Strategist14> "It is beyond your third gate."
[23:12] <Kai_River> "What about at level 2?"
[23:12] <Kai_River> "The wooden sign at the bottom of the cliff."
[23:13] <Strategist14> "That is where the third temple is."
[23:13] <Strategist14> "I would not recommend attempting them out of order."
[23:14] <Kai_River> "And completing them in order is a necessity?"
[23:14] <Strategist14> "Very heavily advised.  By two thirds of me."
[23:14] <Kai_River> "I assume the lich is the remaining third."
[23:14] <Strategist14> "Of course."
[23:15] <Kai_River> "I think I will do my best to ignore what he says, for now."
[23:15] <Strategist14> "That would also be advised."
[23:16] <Kai_River> "What else should I know about these temples, and about my quest?"
[23:17] <Strategist14> "Know that..."  She trails off.
[23:18] <Kai_River> "Zombie. Focus."
[23:18] <Strategist14> "Five."
[23:18] <Kai_River> "Explain."
[23:18] <Strategist14> "Five temples left.  Number 5 is done."
[23:18] <Kai_River> "Why?"
[23:18] <Kai_River> "How?"
[23:18] <Strategist14> "You are not the only hero in this tale."
[23:18] <Kai_River> "Who has been on my planet?"
[23:19] <Kai_River> "Mauiki?"
[23:19] <Kai_River> "Terese?"
[23:19] <Strategist14> "The prince."
[23:19] <Kai_River> "This land has princes now?"
[23:19] <Strategist14> She begins giggling lightly.
[23:19] <Kai_River> "Si-"
[23:19]  * Kai_River sighs.
[23:19] <Kai_River> "Zombie."
[23:19] <Kai_River> "Explain."
[23:20] <Strategist14> "The worldkiller.  He's helping you."
[23:20] <Kai_River> "Terese is a she."
[23:20] <Strategist14> "Not the seer."
[23:21] <Kai_River> "..."
[23:21] <Kai_River> "Explain."
[23:21] <Kai_River> "Terese does not see, she kills."
[23:21] <Kai_River> "Or at least plots to."
[23:21] <Strategist14> "But she is not the killer."
[23:22] <Kai_River> "Mauiki, then."
[23:22] <Kai_River> "Terese does not see."
[23:22] <Kai_River> "She is unaware of my knowledge of her plans."
[23:22] <Kai_River> "At least, she better be."
[23:22]  * Kai_River clenches his fist.
[23:23] <Strategist14> "Two of me have advice for you, in that regard."
[23:23] <Kai_River> "I would like to have that advice."
[23:23] <Strategist14> "Kill the seer."
[23:23] <Kai_River> "..."
[23:23] <Kai_River> "Who gives that advice?"
[23:24] <Strategist14> Zombie grins at you.
[23:24] <Strategist14> "Siri and the kernel."
[23:24] <Kai_River> ". . ."
[23:25] <Kai_River> "I refuse."
[23:25] <Kai_River> "I could have killed Terese before."
[23:25] <Strategist14> "So you're on the lich's side."
[23:25] <Kai_River> "I am on the side of my morals."
[23:26] <Strategist14> "Well then.  You had better get destroying."
[23:26] <Kai_River> "That is against my morals as well."
[23:26] <Strategist14> "Temples, Kai."
[23:26] <Strategist14> "Destroying temples."
[23:26] <Kai_River> "I will clear them, as I did the first, but I shall not destroy."
[23:27] <Strategist14> "There's no real difference."
[23:27] <Kai_River> "If I destroy, I am no better than Terese."
[23:27] <Kai_River> "If I kill, I am no better than Mauiki."
[23:28] <Strategist14> "Then use whatever words you like.  But solve the temples."
[23:28] <Kai_River> "Solve, I like that."
[23:28] <Strategist14> "Gouge the murk.  Do your job."
[23:28] <Kai_River> "I have no job."
[23:28] <Kai_River> "Nothing is obligating me to complete this quest."
[23:29] <Strategist14> "Then do nothing."
[23:29] <Strategist14> "Wait to die to the seer or the slayer or the inheritor."
[23:30] <Kai_River> "Who are these others?"
[23:30] <Kai_River> "The seer is Terese, but who is the slayer, the inheritor, the worldkilled?"
[23:30] <Kai_River> "Who am I?"
[23:30] <Strategist14> "The other so-called heroes."
[23:31] <Strategist14> "As for you?  Good question."
[23:31] <Strategist14> "Who ARE you?"
[23:31] <Kai_River> "I am Kai River, and I wish to stay that way."
[23:32] <Strategist14> "As anyone should.  Perhaps you should get started on that, then."
[23:32] <Kai_River> "Explain."
[23:34] <Strategist14> "You aren't dangerous.  Not according to the lich inside me.  Players like you, underlings don't need to fight.  You destroy yourselves just trying not to adapt."
[23:35] <Kai_River> "I don't need to adapt."
[23:35] <Kai_River> "I want to be normal."
[23:35] <Kai_River> "I want to be the one person left who's NORMAL."
[23:35] <Strategist14> "All the normal people died."
[23:35] <Kai_River> "My mother is left."
[23:35] <Strategist14> "You think she's normal?"
[23:36] <Kai_River> "I hope so."
[23:36] <Strategist14> "Then why would the queen keep her alive?"
[23:36] <Kai_River> "..."
[23:36] <Kai_River> "She's with the queen?"
[23:37] <Strategist14> "The queen of Derse."
[23:37] <Kai_River> "I must find her."
[23:37] <Strategist14> "If she's alive in that cell, the queen will be the one keeping her there."
[23:37] <Kai_River> "Then I'll be the one to get her out."
[23:38] <Strategist14> "Right now?"
[23:38] <Kai_River> "As soon as we're done here, yes."
[23:39] <Strategist14> "You have work to do first."
[23:39] <Strategist14> "Or the queen will kill you and her."
[23:39] <Kai_River> "I need rest."
[23:40] <Strategist14> "If you go there, you will die."
[23:40] <Kai_River> "If I go to the temples, I will die."
[23:40] <Strategist14> "Not if you do them right."
[23:40] <Kai_River> "You said they would be guarded."
[23:41] <Kai_River> "And you would have killed me if Siri did not sacrifice herself."
[23:41] <Strategist14> "The temples hide treasure.  Artifacts that will help you, as I said."
[23:41] <Kai_River> "You never said that."
[23:41] <Kai_River> "Siri did."
[23:41] <Strategist14> "I AM Siri."
[23:41] <Kai_River> "You are a Zombie."
[23:42] <Strategist14> Your sprite goes quiet.
[23:43] <Kai_River> "I need rest so that the guardians do not kill me in a fight."
[23:43] <Kai_River> "If I happen to save my mother in the process, then it's just that much better."
[23:43] <Strategist14> "I can heal you."
[23:43] <Kai_River> "..."
[23:44] <Strategist14> "Please don't sleep."
[23:44] <Kai_River> "I think that might have been the first time you've ever asked me for anything."
[23:45] <Kai_River> "Fine."
[23:45] <Strategist14> A... relieved?  It's hard to tell when her face is a skull... expression floods Zombie's face
[23:46] <Strategist14> "Thank you."
[23:46]  * Kai_River nods.
[23:46] <Kai_River> "Let's just move along."
[23:47] <Strategist14> "Yes.  The second temple awaits."
[23:48] <Kai_River> "Just heal me so I can do my job."
[23:48] <Strategist14> !Roll 3d3 Hit Dice
[23:48] <Tyche[Dice]> Strategist14 rolled : 3d3 Hit Dice --> [ 3d3=3 ]{3}
[23:48] <Strategist14> You regain 3 HD
[23:48] <Kai_River> One of those days
[23:49] <Strategist14> One of those days
[23:49] <Kai_River> (Is that 3 HD worth of health? or do i need to spend a short rest to use them?)
[23:50] <Strategist14> ((Let's say both.  Gain 3 HD and heal 3 HD worth))
[23:50] <Kai_River> !Roll 3d6+6
[23:50] <Tyche[Dice]> Kai_River rolled : 3d6+6 --> [ 3d6=12 ]{18}
[23:50] <Strategist14> ((Otherwise we'll be here forever trying to heal))
[23:50] <Kai_River> (Eeyup)
[23:51] <Kai_River> "One last question."
[23:51] <Strategist14> "Yes?"
[23:51] <Kai_River> "If I leave you with the Elder, will you keep him safe?"
[23:51] <Strategist14> "If you wish."
[23:51] <Kai_River> "And Elder, would you feel safe with Zombie?"
[23:52] <Strategist14> "Well, uh, not really.  There's the whole lethal killy zombie thing, and, uh..."
[23:52] <Kai_River> "Would you rather go in the sylladex?"
[23:52] <Strategist14> The elder groans
[23:52] <Strategist14> "Fine.  Corpse party it is."
[23:53] <Kai_River> "Or, I could carry you through the gate."
[23:53] <Kai_River> "I keep you in the sylladex to keep you safe, but if you'd rather follow behind..."
[23:53] <Strategist14> "Okay no, no, definitely don't want any more dangerous stuff like that."
[23:53]  * Kai_River nods and turns to Zombie.
[23:54] <Kai_River> "Siri, I need YOU to keep him safe."
[23:54] <Strategist14> "He will be defended."
[23:54] <Kai_River> "Good."
[23:55] <Strategist14> "Kai?"
[23:55] <Kai_River> "Yes?"
[23:55] <Strategist14> Zombie hesitates.
[23:55] <Strategist14> "Be safe."
[23:55] <Kai_River> "No promises."
[23:55] <Strategist14> "Then WIN."
[23:56] <Kai_River> "Also no promises."
[23:56] <Strategist14> "Then if nothing else, at least stay awake?"
[23:56] <Kai_River> "..."
[23:56] <Kai_River> "No promises."
[23:57] <Strategist14> "If you want to save her, your dream body needs to be alive when you reach the sixth temple."
[23:58] <Strategist14> "If you do sleep, don't die."
[23:58] <Kai_River> "The queen is on Derse, and I am on Prospit, currently a wanted fugitive."
[23:58] <Kai_River> "No promises."
[23:59] <Strategist14> "It's the best way to save your mother.  And to survive your coplayers."
[23:59] <Kai_River> "I will do my best."
[00:00] <Strategist14> "That's all I ask."
[00:00] <Kai_River> "Which one of you?"
[00:00] <Strategist14> "All of them."
[00:01] <Strategist14> "Now get out of here, before we kill you or make you read the terms and conditions."
[00:01]  * Kai_River nods, and dons his halo.
[00:01] <Kai_River> "Goodbye."
[00:01] <Strategist14> "Good luck."
[00:02]  * Kai_River ascends.

[00:03] <Strategist14> "Good riddance," you hear the elder mutter as you fly away to the smooth gentle sound of muzak.
[00:03] <Strategist14> You then pass through your third gate.
[00:04] <Strategist14> ((I'm going to have to ask that we stop here so I can figure out a bit of stuff.))
[00:04] <Kai_River> (Totally fair)
