Govanaus and the Forbidden Sword, Part 6

<DM>	Okay. Recap:
<DM>	*In that room of water, Silvio decided to join your party and fought off the two weakened Keaton.**
<DM>	*After then, Thoughter started chasing after you all and you ended up in a small room with a chest in it*
<DM>	*The chest contained a key, which Oilander used to lock the door. Afterwards, you all dropped down*
<DM>	*In the room below it, Oilander had a brainwave and decided to destroy the connection between one of the ledges and the wall to make a makeshift raft to sail down the stream*
<DM>	*Then you all entered the main chamber to see Sybilis and Leroy jump down and arrest Silvio*
*	DM kills his typos
<DM>	*As Hank came down to take Silvio back out of the dungeon, you all unlocked the north door on 1F and went into the Water Control access room*

<DM>	--==QUEST RESUME==--
<Oliander>	Whew, good the deal behind us is over with...
<DM>	*You are in a small hallway with several torches placed on the walls, brightly illuminating the room with an unusual white glow. There is a small passage on the middle of the west wall, which leads to an unlocked door. The door on the north end of the hall is unlocked.*
<DM>	(Next time, I'm using Photoshop for my map. This was done in MS Paint and it is a bit of a pain.)
<Oliander>	(I Paint.NET'd mine)
*	Oliander walks to the door at the end of the hall and opens it.
*	You've invited Kirran to #zuchat (castleheck.tx.us.lunarnet.org)
<DM>	(Just as a reminder, the quest is basically over now, but you can do some roleplay and exploration)
<Oliander>	(huh?)
*	DM puts together a PM.
<Oliander>	(how... is it over? I thought there's a Thoughter behind us still)
<DM>	(The Govanaus Brothers will be fighting him when you get out of this area.)
<DM>	(Or at least you see them)
<Oliander>	(well, I vote continue while we're all still here)
<DM>	(Yeah)
*	Oliander pokes Kirran and Gurloz.
<DM>	(We can continue for roleplay and exploration purposes)
<Oliander>	Hey, are you two just going to stand there?
*	Gurloz waddles over to the western door and flings it open.
<Oliander>	After you, waddle dee... why did I just say that? It sounded so... natural...
*	Oliander follows Gurloz.
*	Gurloz kicks Oliander out the window.
*	You have been kicked from #zurpg by Gurloz (You have been kicked out the window and you landed in front of a proximity potato ray! «16,029»)
*	Gurloz grabs his trusty potato ray.
*	Gurloz charges up the potato ray.
*	Gurloz aims the potato ray at Oliander.
*	Gurloz fires the potato ray at Oliander.
*	Gurloz microwaves, salts, and eats Oliander, the large scrumptious Concurrent potato.
<Oliander>	I find it illogical to use potatoes in a situation like this.
<Kirran>	You think the Zora's are still going to pay us?
<Kirran>	I mean, we did techincally clear out the temple and all, and they didn't ask for a body or anything.
<Oliander>	We have two rooms left, so that remains to be seen.
*	Oliander heads into the room to the west.
*	Kirran is on auto follow
*	Oliander pokes the DM.
<DM>	(Is Gurloz following you?)
*	Gurloz was the one to open the door, and thus enter it.
<Oliander>	he went first
<DM>	(Kay)
<DM>	*You are all in a large room. The floor is relatively flat with several water fountains on the floor spraying up above. The tops of these seem walkable and could form a staircase up to gain access to a hookshot target tucked away in a small alcove to the left at the end of the room. Also in that alcove is a panel with what looks like a music sheet.*
<Oliander>	(how far away is that alcove from here)
<DM>	(Roughly 50 feet)
<Oliander>	(you're telling me I can identify a music sheet from 50 feet away?!)
<Oliander>	Hmm, can't the hookshot pull whatever that is in?
<DM>	(Yes)
<Oliander>	Whoever designed this place is not only evil, but he must also be senile and lacking intelligence...
<Oliander>	... I suddenly wish I bought a hookshot.
<DM>	(Anyway, moar OoT stuff)
*	Gurloz tries firing his hookshot randomly.
<Gurloz>	$36d10
<Navi>	Gurloz: You rolled 36 Dice with 10 Sides. Result: 2, 5, 7, 7, 6, 6, 7, 7, 6, 8, 9, 1, 6, 1, 4, 6, 3, 2, 10, 1, 10, 10, 2, 6, 7, 2, 3, 3, 10, 3, 10, 2, 7, 8, 4 and 3. Total: 194. Successes: 26.
<DM>	Gurloz: Your hookshot strikes a wall, which remains unamused.
<Oliander>	Perhaps, Gurloz... you should fire less randomly.
*	Gurloz kicks Oliander out the window.
*	You have been kicked from #zurpg by Gurloz (You have been kicked out the window and you landed on a ship that's headed to Antarctica! Better take your winter coat along with you! «16,030»)
<Oliander>	(yeeeep, saw that coming)
*	DM pokes Gurloz and Oliander.
<Oliander>	Fine, I'll just fly up there... with these.. water... jet... thingies.

<DM>	Oliander: You land safely in the alcove.
*	Oliander looks around to explore the alcove... that is, is there anything other than the music sheet?
<DM>	(Only a sign)

<Gurloz>	$36d10

<DM>	Sign: "This music sheet contains the song that changes the water level in this temple"
<DM>	Gurloz: You hookshot to the sign
<Oliander>	That seems convenient.
<DM>	"It will only work when played in this room"
<Oliander>	That seems... counterintuitive.
<Oliander>	I have no musical instrument, nor any musical knowledge. Gurloz, what about you?
<Gurloz>	I have no musical instruments either.
*	DM shoots Oliander a PM
*	Oliander yells to Kirran.
<Oliander>	Kirran, what about you?
<DM>	(Isn't Kirran on Auto-follow?)
*	Oliander grabs the music sheet and stashes it.
<Oliander>	Let's check out the other room for now.
*	Oliander heads back to the hallway.
*	Oliander heads straight into the ??? room that's north of the Water Control Access Hallway.... unless there's something stopipng me from doing so.
<Oliander>	*stopping
<Orithan>	(Nothing is stopping you)
*	Oliander uses the boost to get through.
*	Gurloz follows Oliander.
<Orithan>	*You enter a small room with a wooden desk and several iron crates at the back, arranged in an orderly fashion. A stack of papers and a quill lie all over the desk. There is a sign over on the back wall that reads "Thoughter's office". Despite the cold, wet atmosphere of the temple, none of these office supplies seem to be wet at all.*
<Oliander>	Interesting...
<Orithan>	(Oliander, I have an item I would like your thoughts on that is in this room)
<Orithan>	(It is in the PM I shot you)
<Oliander>	(the one from the PM? Seems fine)
<Oliander>	(I'd just the damage reduction to 4 though)
<Oliander>	(wait....)
<Oliander>	(that adds straight damage reduction for a round?)
<Orithan>	(Yes)
<Oliander>	(hooooooooly crap)
<Orithan>	(I could make it half, like I originally made it)
<Oliander>	(half)
<Oliander>	(base damage reduction at 4, then half of the magic cost for the effect)
<Orithan>	*On one of the crates lies a suit of golden armour studded with various gems on it*
*	Oliander goes to inspect the stack of papers, see if there's any information in there.
<Kirran>	Back
<Oliander>	ACK
<Oliander>	Don't just CREEP UP on me like that, Kirran!
<Oliander>	I might have just blasted you to bits there!
<Kirran>	Normally I wouldn't take you seriously, but after that knock you gave Gurloz, I'll keep that in mind.
<Orithan>	Spellbinding Plate: http://zurpg.sephiroth.ws/thread-283-post-865.html#pid865
<Oliander>	I am ALWAYS serious!
<Kefka>	ZURPG: 11-8-13 - Govanaus and the Forbidden Sword.
<Oliander>	Now, let's see what these papers say...
<Orithan>	*These papers have information detailing Thoughter's plans and a paper on Sybilis' and Leroy's equipment.
*	Oliander looks at the plans.
*	Gurloz stands guard at the doorway.
<Orithan>	*The papers detail Thoughter's planned attack on Hyrule Castle, though "Cancelled" stamps are set all over the plans*
<Kirran>	Cancelled? Wonder why.
<Orithan>	(And yes, the Spellbinding Plate is the armour that Thoughter normally wears)
<Oliander>	I've heard rumors that Princess Zelda herself is very powerful. I seek to one day become strong enough to seek a prophecy directly from her... for that is my absolute destiny!
<Oliander>	(any details of the plan that we might find interesting?)
<Kirran>	She's..not really one for audiences these days.
<Orithan>	(Nothing interesting)
*	Oliander looks at the other papers... see if there's anything interesting in there.
<Kirran>	Bet the captain of the guard of there would be interested in seeing these plans though.
<Oliander>	Indeed.
*	Oliander stashes the papers.
<Kirran>	Hey, can I see those music sheets a second?
<Oliander>	Sure.
*	Oliander hands the music sheets to Kirran.
<Kirran>	Sheikah are taught how to whistle tunes with their fingers. I think I might be able to play this, if we needed to.
<Orithan>	(Does everyone have a Blue Tunic?)
*	Orithan is now known as DM
<Kirran>	(Similar to Impa's technique in OoT when she teaches Zelda's Lullaby.)
<Oliander>	(I don't think I have the blue tunic)
<Kirran>	Didn't we pick up some extras?
<Kirran>	( )
<DM>	(Oliander is of the Fire affinity, so he can't wear the tunic)
<Kirran>	(Oooohh. Sucks to be him.)
<Oliander>	(beeeeeeeeep)
<DM>	(The original intention of raising the water level was to smoke Thoughter out*
<DM>	(But it appears that Silvio managed to draw him out first)
<Oliander>	Wait, there might be something for me in one of these crates...
*	Oliander checks out the iron crates, see if there's an opening on either of them.
<Oliander>	*on any of them
<DM>	*There are no openings on any of the crates except one*
<Kirran>	Hopefully I'm not passed out in one of them. I will be SO pissed if I am.
<Oliander>	What?
*	Oliander looks at the crate that does have an opening... and tries to open it.
<Kirran>	Woke up once in a crate in a witch's hut. Very unpleasant experience.
<Oliander>	A witch's hut? Where in Hyrule would that be?
<Kirran>	Nevermind. She probably moved her shop anyways.
*	Gurloz pokes a crate.
<Oliander>	Indeed.
<Kirran>	I'm still not sure how I got in there either.
<DM>	*The crate opens, revealing office supplies and 2 Restoration Hearts*
<Kirran>	Too bad Dex isn't with us, I'm sure he'd appreciate some quality office stuff like this.
*	Oliander yoinks a restoration heart.... and looks through the office supplies.
<Oliander>	Perhaps you should hand these supplies to him.
<Kirran>	I'm not his packmule. He wants swag, he packs it himself.
*	Gurloz yoinks the other restoration heart.
<Oliander>	Swag? What... is that?
<DM>	*The office supplies include blank sheets of paper and bottles of ink for quills.*
<Kirran>	Loot.
<Oliander>	Indeed.
<Oliander>	...
*	Kirran yoinks two bottles of ink for personal reasons.
*	Oliander stashes the blank sheets of paper and whatever bottles of ink there are left.
<DM>	Well, I'm going to finish up in a few minutes.
<DM>	Batteries running out.
<Oliander>	kay
<Gurloz>	kay.
<DM>	There is nothing blocking you on your way out.
<Oliander>	Well, if there is nothing else... we should leave now.
*	Gurloz returns to the central room.
*	Oliander pats the wall of the temple.
<Oliander>	... thanks for loot, stupid temple.
*	Oliander hits the wall of the temple randomly with two blasts from his new staff.

<Oliander>	(lol Kefka)
<Kefka>	Bleh! You people make me sick! You sound like lines from a self-help book! If that's how it's going to be... I'll snuff them all out! Every last one of your sickening, happy little reasons for living!

*	Gurloz was ninja'd already.
<Oliander>	(nah, you can take it if you want it)
<Oliander>	hey DM, can you put a post in the quest thread later that says what we got from the quest... unless the Zoras aren't giving a reward
<DM>	I will.
<Oliander>	kay, thanks
<Gurloz>	(Kay, I'll take it then.)
<DM>	Alright,
*	Oliander rolls out of the temple...... with his swag, as Kirran described.
