[22:42] <Deathfish64> Hang on, gonna try and fix my internet
[22:42] <Deathfish64> I think the router is being dumb
[22:46] <Deathfish64> Okay it seems to have sorted itself out
[22:48] * Skeleton ([email protected]) has joined #adventure
[22:49] <Skeleton> YOU RAAAANG?
[22:49] <~flibbyjibbits> no
[22:49] <Skeleton> :U
[22:50] <~flibbyjibbits> im just wtachin tv on netflix and eating spicy chicken until eltroman appears
[22:51] <Skeleton> That's exactly what Jim is doing, minus chicken.
[22:51] <Skeleton> I, I mean, minus spicy
[22:51] <Skeleton> ...Maybe
[22:51] <Deathfish64> I'm going to be playing some LoL
[22:54] <Moonside> Oh, I'm here again.

[23:06] * Deathfish64 ([email protected]) has joined #adventure
[23:06] <Deathfish64> Guess who had to restart his modem?
[23:08] <CommodoreJim> Barrack Obama
[23:09] <Deathfish64> No, me
[23:09] <Skeleton> I was just about to say that
[23:12] <Moonside> Ok, so Jim said that about Tombs dying earlier, but I think this might really be the case with Urist.
[23:15] <~flibbyjibbits> gonna give bgh a few more chances i guess
[23:15] <CommodoreJim> "fuck this I'm outta here" Urist said and then he went back to the castle
[23:15] <~flibbyjibbits> he returned to his roo- his wallet lay on the pillow where he left it
[23:15] <~flibbyjibbits> room
[23:16] <CommodoreJim> In other news, Eltro seriously needs to wake the hell up
[23:16] <CommodoreJim> (Why would he even afternoon nap on an adventure day omg)
[23:17] <Skeleton> dreaming, streaming
[23:18] <~flibbyjibbits> idunno, last i heard at 4 pm my time he was going to go eat
[23:22] <CommodoreJim> Guhhhhhh.
[23:22] <Moonside> Well, I gues I'll use this time to read some yuri.
[23:34] <~flibbyjibbits> http://youtu.be/pbrwowS_0ss  i wonder what character you have heard of that this can be made the theme of
[23:34] <Moonside> Man, I really like Fujieda's works, and Amber Teahouse was adorable, but what the fuck is up with there not being at the very least a kiss between Seriho and Sarasa :|
[23:35] <Moonside> And no idea, flib.
[23:36] <~flibbyjibbits> whos in the aprty knowledgeodex uh
[23:37] <Skeleton> yoho
[23:37] <CommodoreJim> Huh
[23:37] <Moonside> I'm sorry, I didn't understand any of what you said there.
[23:39] <~flibbyjibbits> telmar and luce are pretty much the only surviving peoplke the party has met
[23:39] <~flibbyjibbits> oh and the guard captain whatisname
[23:40] <~flibbyjibbits> then theres zulban, mr bones, queen of farim that youce ehard of but not met
[23:45] <Moonside> Yeah, I still have no idea.
[23:45] <Moonside> And we haven't met Mr. Bones yet either.
[23:49] <Moonside> (dammit Eltro)
[23:51] <~flibbyjibbits> i finally found the track ive been looking for for 3 days
[23:51] * Deathfish64 ([email protected]) Quit (Ping timeout)
[23:51] <Moonside> What is it?
[23:51] <~flibbyjibbits> though hearing the lyrics theres a good chance that if it shows up in adventure it means bad end initated and youd want to try to get back to a nicer timeline
[23:52] <Moonside> Hmm.
[23:59] * Deathfish64 ([email protected]) has joined #adventure
[00:03] <Deathfish64> God my internet is so bad tonight
[00:05] <Moonside> Argh, To the Beginning is stuck on my head.
[00:06] <CommodoreJim> Guuuuhhh
[00:06] <~flibbyjibbits> sure hope eltro shows up soon
[00:08] * Deathfish64 ([email protected]) Quit (Ping timeout)
[00:08] <CommodoreJim> (If he doesn't I'm gonna kick his ass, I've been waiting all day for Adventure)
[00:08] <CommodoreJim> *All week
[00:09] <Moonside> Yeah.
[00:10] <CommodoreJim> (We could ditch him, since with bgh never being here, it's more like we're missing one person than two. Not counting Fish's connection issues)
[00:11] <~flibbyjibbits> giving him a bit more time
[00:13] <Skeleton> I'd rather we at least have Eltro here
[00:13] <~flibbyjibbits> how about if he isnt here by some time we can start, since it isnt going to be fighty for a bit at least
[00:14] <~flibbyjibbits> x:30 or x:45?
[00:14] <Moonside> 30
[00:15] <CommodoreJim> I'd rather have Eltro here, yeah, but I also would be seriously pissed if Adventure was called off, since we only do it twice a week at the most
[00:21] <~flibbyjibbits> it is often a highlight of my week
[00:23] <Moonside> I always look forward to it, too.
[00:27] <CommodoreJim> Blorggh
[00:28] <Skeleton> Jim hates everyone :(
[00:28] <Moonside> Jim fights everything.
[00:30] <CommodoreJim> I do not! I just hate when people get between me and things I like!
[00:30] <CommodoreJim> Jim smash!
[00:31] <Skeleton> Life's not pretteeeeeee even thooooooough I tried so hard toooooo make it soooooo
[00:31] <Moonside> It's :31 now.
[00:32] <Moonside> http://pastebin.com/mgV4bzLp
[00:34] <Skeleton> Maybe it will teach Eltro a lesson about punctuality
[00:34] * Deathfish64 ([email protected]) has joined #adventure
[00:34] <Moonside> Right on time.
[00:34] * flibbyjibbits changes topic to 'http://pastebin.com/mgV4bzLp'
[00:34] <~flibbyjibbits> let me just check where we left off
[00:34] <Deathfish64> Don't count on me being able to stay connected
[00:35] <Moonside> We got some stuff from the secret stash.
[00:35] <~flibbyjibbits> hm, the last pastebin isnt working right
[00:35] <~flibbyjibbits> oh well
[00:35] <Moonside> Huh.
[00:36] <Moonside> Yeah, it's... not showing up in my page for some reason.
[00:36] <~flibbyjibbits> so we dug up the stash outside the city, I assume everyone remembered to add the distributed gold to the sheets
[00:36] <Moonside> Yeah, and Lotte got a pistol.
[00:37] <~flibbyjibbits> ok then, I believe the party was getting on the road to Lenima to investigate whatever
[00:37] <~flibbyjibbits> thats about 3 and a half days from where you are, assuming you just travel at snensible speeds
[00:37] <Moonside> Yeah, that was the place.
[00:38] <Moonside> I only have 2 rations, should I buy some more?
[00:38] <Skeleton> Somehow I have three. I probably forgot to eat one of them
[00:39] <~flibbyjibbits> oh i guess so
[00:39] <Skeleton> Or Freddie did
[00:39] <CommodoreJim> I have a ton of rations I think
[00:39] <CommodoreJim> I bought 10 at the start
[00:39] <~flibbyjibbits> theyre like what half a gold or something
[00:39] <Moonside> Something like that.
[00:39] <Moonside> I think I'd also like to sell the crossbow.
[00:40] <~flibbyjibbits> sell values typically half of the market price but lets say 3/rths because of the citie's condition
[00:40] <Skeleton> Solve for r
[00:40] <~flibbyjibbits> 4
[00:41] <~flibbyjibbits> 3/4thsd
[00:41] <Moonside> 3/4 of 35gp.
[00:41] <Moonside> 26,25
[00:42] <~flibbyjibbits> and rations are .5 gold so just get however many you feel like, doesn't matter an incredible lot
[00:42] <Moonside> I think I'll take 3.
[00:43] <Skeleton> I'll take TWENNY
[00:43] <Moonside> Alright, that's all.
[00:43] <~flibbyjibbits> alright then, anyone else have anything toa ttend to before the journey starts
[00:44] <~flibbyjibbits> its the most food freddies ever been able to have isnt it
[00:44] <Moonside> Are we going to be instantly at the city?
[00:44] <Skeleton> I still have 120g after that
[00:44] <Moonside> And, hey Jim ping.
[00:44] <~flibbyjibbits> well 3.5 days
[00:44] <CommodoreJim> Huh
[00:44] <Moonside> We're doing stuff.
[00:44] <Moonside> I'd probably want to have Lotte try to talk to Drom about what happened.
[00:45] <CommodoreJim> Alright
[00:45] <CommodoreJim> (Awkwardtimes commence)
[00:45] <~flibbyjibbits> well you can do that during the journey then
[00:45] <Moonside> Sure.
[00:45] <~flibbyjibbits> SET OFF FOR AVENTUR
[00:45] <Skeleton> All aboooooard
[00:45] <Deathfish64> let's go
[00:46] <CommodoreJim> We go Adventur, to be saver of humens
[00:46] <Moonside> I know this chapter's title.
[00:46] <Skeleton> "Freddie's Rosy Rupeeland"
[00:47] <~flibbyjibbits> The first day of travel is unnoteworth- you get mostly out of the forest that surrounded tholest, and the road is quite clearly an important one, very well maintained and wide, and you pass a couple dozen wagons or horses or other groups heading the other direction.  The sky is getting pretty cloudy, and it is sort of windy, but nothing of note happens the day
[00:48] <Moonside> "The road is in better condition than the city..."
[00:48] <~flibbyjibbits> that it is
[00:49] <CommodoreJim> "...not like that's hard to do."
[00:50] <~flibbyjibbits> It is raining the second day of travel.  A couple of guys who look like order knights but with darker colored armor pass you, going at quite a rushed pace on horseback, around just as the sun looks like its setting
[00:50] <CommodoreJim> SUSPICIOUS.
[00:51] <~flibbyjibbits> The third day, the road seems like it hit near the coast, and takes a hard left, following the coastline; though it has started to rain, and the terrain is getting a bit marshey as you approach the lenima delta region
[00:51] <~flibbyjibbits> you can see the ocean from the road, which is about 50 feet from the edge of a small cliff above the rocky beach
[00:52] <Moonside> "The ocean..."
[00:52] <Skeleton> "I love the ocean"
[00:53] <Moonside> "I've never seen it up close before."
[00:53] <Skeleton> Freddie takes in an over-the-top deep breath of coastal air
[00:53] <Deathfish64> "That's a lot of water."
[00:53] <CommodoreJim> MAYBE IT HAS SEA MONSTERS
[00:54] <Deathfish64> YEAH
[00:54] <~flibbyjibbits> it probably does
[00:54] <Skeleton> See? Monsters!
[00:54] <Moonside> I'd like to stop for the night before heading to the final day.
[00:54] <~flibbyjibbits> Just as the sun is setting, Freddie spots in one of the trees lining the road a bunch of somewhat strange looking fruit
[00:55] <Moonside> Also, how are we travelling here? By foot, or in that vehicle from before?
[00:55] <CommodoreJim> Well /I'm/ obviously on my horse.
[00:55] <Skeleton> "Hey, lookit that. It is interesting."
[00:55] <Deathfish64> I have a HORS too
[00:55] <Deathfish64> "Lookit what?"
[00:55] <Moonside> I try to climb the tree to take one of the fruit.
[00:55] <~flibbyjibbits> I have been assuming like taking shifts on horseback- theres 2 horses and 2 people can be on each, so maybe like rotating every now and then , or maybe urist rented a horse idk
[00:56] <CommodoreJim> "Careful..."
[00:56] <~flibbyjibbits> lets just assume urist rented a horse using some extra secret money
[00:56] <Moonside> (urist's secret money... hmmm)
[00:56] <~flibbyjibbits> anyways
[00:56] <Deathfish64> (he spent some of his 'special' gold)
[00:57] <~flibbyjibbits> the tree is not hard to climb, theres numerous branches and most are fairly strong, if slightly sticky with what you assume is sap
[00:57] <Deathfish64> Do we have anyone with knowledge nature?
[00:57] <Moonside> "Alright, almost there..."
[00:57] <Moonside> Oh, hey.
[00:57] <CommodoreJim> What's nature.
[00:57] <Skeleton> The merchant bites a coin to check for counterfeit... salty gold...
[00:57] <~flibbyjibbits> the fruit is fairly large- roughly the size of a soccer ball, though it is hard, like  its shelled. maybe it seems closer to a nut than a shell
[00:57] <Moonside> Lotte has every knowledge besides religion and noblity.
[00:57] <Skeleton> I think I have nature knowledge
[00:57] <CommodoreJim> (And I have nobility!)
[00:58] <Skeleton> Yeah, +5
[00:58] <~flibbyjibbits> [2] guess maybe she kinda skimmed this part of the book
[00:58] <Skeleton> Knowledge check for what the hell these evil apples are
[00:58] <Moonside> Try again?
[00:58] <~flibbyjibbits> [11] Freddie assumes its just some tropical fruit, probably safe to eat, if you can get it open
[00:58] <Moonside> Oh well. I try to open it with my knife.
[00:58] <~flibbyjibbits> thats the hard part
[00:58] <~flibbyjibbits> actually getting it ouf of the tree is the hard part
[00:58] <Moonside> Oh.
[00:59] <~flibbyjibbits> lotte chips at it with her knife, but it doesn't give much. also she seems to be adhered to the branches now.
[00:59] <Skeleton> Oh god oh man.
[00:59] <Moonside> "Uh... shit."
[00:59] <Skeleton> "Good news, the fruit is probably safe to eat"
[00:59] <Skeleton> "I bet it goes nice in lieu of an olive in a martini"
[01:00] <Deathfish64> "Did we even need this fruit?"
[01:00] <CommodoreJim> "...I don't think that's the most of our worries right now."
[01:00] <Skeleton> "Drom! Chop the tree down"
[01:00] <Deathfish64> "What if it falls on her?"
[01:00] <Moonside> I try to release myself from the branches, before remembering something... "...d-don't look up!"
[01:01] <Skeleton> "Don't look up?"
[01:01] <~flibbyjibbits> she is still sort ofstuck
[01:01] <~flibbyjibbits> about 7ish feet off the ground
[01:01] <CommodoreJim> "If I chop it down, it might crush her, you fool!"
[01:02] <Skeleton> "Oh, hmmm..."
[01:02] <Skeleton> "Maybe if I burn the tree... wait no... hmmmm"
[01:02] <Moonside> Know nature check for this tree?
[01:03] <CommodoreJim> "What is wrong with you!"
[01:03] <Skeleton> "Nothing, I caught myself that time, see?"
[01:03] <Skeleton> "Hmmm"
[01:03] <~flibbyjibbits> [3] still no real idea
[01:03] <Moonside> Dammit.
[01:03] <~flibbyjibbits> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X9fzFlHlqIo  freddie's thinking theme
[01:03] <Skeleton> I knowledge check about this tree
[01:04] <~flibbyjibbits> knowledge checks cant really be rerolled normally but I guess maybe the stickiness can count to try to refresh memory
[01:04] <Deathfish64> "Maybe I could summon an earth elemental to climb the tree and help."
[01:04] <CommodoreJim> Well the first time he checked the fruit!
[01:04] <CommodoreJim> This time he's checking the sap!
[01:04] <Skeleton> "What if it got stuck to the tree"
[01:04] <CommodoreJim> :Y
[01:04] <Skeleton> "And it became a tree-elemental-lotte freakshow"
[01:04] <Skeleton> "That would be gross"
[01:05] <Moonside> "Aaaargh!"
[01:05] <CommodoreJim> I glare at Freddie.
[01:05] <CommodoreJim> Glare roll
[01:05] <Skeleton> "Well it would"
[01:05] <~flibbyjibbits> You reason that it must be part of the tree's defence mechanism- maybe you can just try to pry her off, or maybe theres some low level spell that might help clean some of the adhesive
[01:05] <Deathfish64> No spells of mine, surely
[01:06] <Moonside> Water, maybe?
[01:06] <Deathfish64> Acid Splash!
[01:06] <Skeleton> I could enlarge Drom and have him yank Lotte off
[01:06] <Skeleton> With his hand
[01:06] <Deathfish64> "yank"
[01:06] <Skeleton> Yeah
[01:06] <Skeleton> Yyyyyyyyank
[01:06] <CommodoreJim> I'm afraid prying her off would be disasterous.
[01:07] <Skeleton> This is the dumbest episode of Adventures: Lotte Is Stuck In A Tree
[01:07] <Deathfish64> "If only we could fly."
[01:08] <CommodoreJim> I feel Drom is useless in this scenario, because he's a brute force guy
[01:08] <Skeleton> But what if he were TWELVE FEET TALL EH
[01:08] <Skeleton> Or thirteen
[01:08] <Skeleton> Whatever
[01:08] <Moonside> Anyone besides Urist has that water spell?
[01:08] <~flibbyjibbits> if it help, shes stuck by where she had been holding it
[01:08] <CommodoreJim> Then he's still just be brute force!
[01:08] <~flibbyjibbits> like feet stuck to branches and hands stuck to wherever
[01:09] <~flibbyjibbits> i guess maybe knees or elbows might be stuck to the truck, but there it'd mostly be the clothing stuck
[01:09] <Deathfish64> So if we cut off her arms and legs...
[01:09] <Skeleton> Gee Lotte, I told you the plungergloves wouldn't work
[01:09] <CommodoreJim> ...is she going to have to undress.
[01:09] <CommodoreJim> What the hell.
[01:09] <~flibbyjibbits> not nessesarily
[01:09] <CommodoreJim> Stupid pervert tree!
[01:10] <Skeleton> "Can we look up now"
[01:10] <Moonside> "No!"
[01:10] <Deathfish64> How high up is she?
[01:10] <~flibbyjibbits> 7-8ish feet
[01:11] <~flibbyjibbits> perhaps theres something you havent considered yet
[01:11] <Skeleton> C'mon, couldn't giant Drom like roll a gentle check
[01:11] <CommodoreJim> ...like asking the tree nicely?
[01:11] <Skeleton> "Are you not wearing underwear or something :["
[01:11] <Deathfish64> Could Drom chop off the branches she's stuck to with his axe?
[01:11] <~flibbyjibbits> he could try that yes
[01:12] <~flibbyjibbits> might need the enlarge spell to reach some
[01:12] <Skeleton> He'll roll a one and decapitate her :U
[01:12] <Deathfish64> I could use
[01:12] <Deathfish64> guidance
[01:12] <CommodoreJim> Flib is like 'why can't they figure this out my campaign is full of dumbasses'
[01:13] <~flibbyjibbits> options were that or 'just hit her with acid splash until she falls out and hear her up'
[01:13] <~flibbyjibbits> i didnt think itd be this complicated
[01:13] <Skeleton> Like, melt her limbs?
[01:13] <CommodoreJim> 'we're going to burn off her skin'
[01:13] <CommodoreJim> 'and then, make it better'
[01:13] <Deathfish64> 'and her clothes
[01:13] <CommodoreJim> 'grit your teeth, lotte!'
[01:14] <~flibbyjibbits> http://gunshowcomic.com/comics/20081015.gif
[01:14] <Moonside> "Guys, help! Do something!"
[01:14] <Skeleton> I use Enlarge Person on Drom! Pry that reckless lady off!
[01:14] <~flibbyjibbits> anyways it isnt touch to cut off the parts that shes stuck to
[01:14] <~flibbyjibbits> tough*
[01:14] <Skeleton> But then she'd have wood stuck to her forever
[01:14] <CommodoreJim> What's guidance do, fish
[01:14] <Deathfish64> I use Guidance on Drom as well
[01:14] <Skeleton> "Stand back dudes"
[01:14] <Deathfish64> +1 to an attack or skill check
[01:15] <Deathfish64> or saving throw
[01:15] <CommodoreJim> Okay then.
[01:15] <Deathfish64> This is probably one of those
[01:15] <CommodoreJim> I guess things are gonna be RIDICULOUS
[01:15] <~flibbyjibbits> he cuts off those parts. then she falls out sine he didnt catch her- the knees and sleeves of her clothing were torn off- but pretty sure Freddie knows mending doesnt he
[01:15] <Skeleton> Things are gonna be MAGICAL
[01:16] <CommodoreJim> ...
[01:16] <Skeleton> Uhh do I
[01:16] <Deathfish64> But having ripped knees is fashionable
[01:16] <Moonside> I was using a skirt.
[01:16] <CommodoreJim> "Being huge is weird."
[01:16] <Skeleton> Yep I do
[01:16] <~flibbyjibbits> oh
[01:16] <Moonside> "........."
[01:16] <~flibbyjibbits> then nevermind then
[01:16] <Skeleton> So does Pikkup probably
[01:16] <Deathfish64> Nope
[01:16] <Moonside> So I guess I'm not anymore!
[01:16] <Skeleton> "How is it weird if it's what you do every day"
[01:16] <Deathfish64> I get like, 4 level 0 spells known
[01:16] <CommodoreJim> ...
[01:16] <~flibbyjibbits> we can assume that didnt rip if you want then
[01:17] <Skeleton> Using Mending on Lotte's torn, almost gone, practically inexistent, clothes
[01:17] <Deathfish64> Just the skin that was in that place
[01:17] <CommodoreJim> "I mean being this huge."
[01:17] <~flibbyjibbits> also the fruit falls on her
[01:17] <Moonside> "........."
[01:17] <~flibbyjibbits> for 2 nonlethal.
[01:17] <Deathfish64> "I bet you could gib twice as many gnomes"
[01:17] <Skeleton> "Ouh!"
[01:17] <CommodoreJim> 'DMs! They get drunk off your suffering'
[01:17] <Moonside> I pick it up and throw it as far away as possible.
[01:18] <Skeleton> "Hey"
[01:18] <~flibbyjibbits> you still have branches stuck in your hands
[01:18] <Deathfish64> After all that!
[01:18] <Moonside> Well, I guess I don't then.
[01:18] <Skeleton> Now you have WOODFIST
[01:18] <CommodoreJim> "Um...you alright, Lady Charlotte?" I ask sheepishly, knowing that most likely, every one of us is in for an earful
[01:18] <Deathfish64> She climbed up that tree on her own
[01:19] <Deathfish64> Not our falt
[01:19] <Moonside> "WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU THINK?!?!"
[01:19] <Deathfish64> fault*
[01:19] <Skeleton> Drom is 13 feet tall for 3 minutes :>
[01:19] <CommodoreJim> "...sorry, milady." I mutter. Though, since I'm massive, it's still loud.
[01:19] <~flibbyjibbits> additional knowledge check by freddies memory getting jogged reminds him that the sticky sap would wear off in about 2 or 3 hours more, after the branch was cut off
[01:19] <Skeleton> "Oh guys"
[01:19] <Moonside> "Rrrrgghh... shit, shit, shit, SHIT."
[01:20] <Skeleton> "I just remembered the sap kinda stops sticking after about two, maybe three hours"
[01:20] <Skeleton> "So"
[01:20] <Skeleton> "No worries"
[01:20] <Skeleton> ":)   )"
[01:20] <Moonside> "........."
[01:20] <Deathfish64> "I think this tree is kinda okay."
[01:20] <Moonside> Also, my clothes are fixed, yes?
[01:20] <Skeleton> "Would you like a potion Lotte, you got a bit of a bruise brewin"
[01:20] <Skeleton> I used Mending so
[01:20] <~flibbyjibbits> yes
[01:20] <Moonside> k
[01:20] <Skeleton> Freddie helps
[01:21] <Moonside> What time is it right now?
[01:21] <~flibbyjibbits> well, mending takes 10 minutes to cast
[01:21] <~flibbyjibbits> so i guess hes working on it currently
[01:21] <~flibbyjibbits> just about sundown
[01:21] <Moonside> Hmm.
[01:22] <Moonside> I just stay quiet during that, with a >:| face.
[01:22] <~flibbyjibbits> http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m22ywh2UmI1qmikqqo1_r1_1280.png  is this drom right now
[01:22] <CommodoreJim> No!
[01:22] <Deathfish64> I'll just grab that fruit since we went through all that to get it
[01:22] <Skeleton> "I hope I get this right, the cloth has weird patterns 'n stuff"
[01:22] <CommodoreJim> Also I spend this time feeling bad.
[01:22] <Moonside> "What. No, it doesn't."
[01:23] <Skeleton> What if it did
[01:23] <Skeleton> "It doesn't?"
[01:23] <Moonside> It doesn't.
[01:23] <~flibbyjibbits> drom is able, with his enhanced strength, to crask it open
[01:23] <Skeleton> "Well then I'm golden"
[01:23] <CommodoreJim> I flick the fruit.
[01:23] <Deathfish64> I say Lotte gets first taste
[01:23] <~flibbyjibbits> its about a soccer ball sized mass, seems to be similar to apple in consistancy
[01:24] <Moonside> "This better be the best fruit ever."
[01:24] <CommodoreJim> [1] The fruit tastes like sadness incarnate
[01:24] <~flibbyjibbits> it tastes like cheap beer
[01:25] <CommodoreJim> That's what I just said
[01:25] <Moonside> I frown.
[01:25] <Deathfish64> It's a beer tree!
[01:25] <Skeleton> Far below Freddie's standards
[01:25] <~flibbyjibbits> it is very mildly alcoholic, not enough to prompt a roll unless you had like 4 con or ate the entire thing
[01:25] <Moonside> After all that, yeah, I think I'll do that.
[01:26] <~flibbyjibbits> uh are you sure isnt not really a small object
[01:26] <Skeleton> "How can you eat this crap? It tastes like AwfulTimes Lite"
[01:26] <CommodoreJim> It's the size of a soccerball, man!
[01:27] <Moonside> "I'm not going to throw it away after all that shit I just went through!"
[01:28] <Skeleton> Freddie secretly thinks "That was awesome, I got to show off my magic"
[01:28] <CommodoreJim> I don't say anything, feeling somewhat upset at the whole ordeal
[01:29] <Moonside> Well, I give up on the idea of eating the thing, for some reason, and just lie there on the ground while I want for the stickyness to wear off.
[01:29] <~flibbyjibbits> should i just assume you camped there for the night
[01:29] <Skeleton> It's not still raining is it
[01:30] <CommodoreJim> I put up my tent, yadda yadda
[01:30] <CommodoreJim> (I just pitch it over Lotte)
[01:30] <Deathfish64> He pitches a tent (in his pants)
[01:30] <CommodoreJim> no omg
[01:30] <Moonside> Are we still awake after the stickyness wears off?
[01:30] <CommodoreJim> This wasn't hot!
[01:30] <Skeleton> This is in tents guys
[01:31] <Deathfish64> I'll put up my tent too
[01:31] <Deathfish64> because I own one
[01:31] <~flibbyjibbits> lotte probably is because it wasnt really a comfortable position
[01:31] <CommodoreJim> I'm probably awake because I still feel bad about the whole thing
[01:32] <Skeleton> Why
[01:32] <Moonside> "...hey, Drominus."
[01:32] <Skeleton> CALM DOOOOOWN
[01:32] <CommodoreJim> "...hm?"
[01:32] <Deathfish64> I'm probably sleeping because nothing exciting or upsetting happened to me
[01:32] <Moonside> "Hmm... well, I don't know if right now is the best time, but... uh, about... the other day..."
[01:33] <CommodoreJim> "...oh." I shuffle a bit awkwardly. "Uh...what about it...?"
[01:33] <Skeleton> CAN SOMEBODY GET US A RUNWAY COVERED IN ICE CUBES CAUSE YOU TWO NEED TO COOL YOUR JETS
[01:33] <Moonside> "Do you... regret it?"
[01:34] <CommodoreJim> "..." I sigh. "Well...in a sense that I feel I may have taken advantage of you? Maybe. But in a sense of...well...you and I..." he coughs. "...I don't, know."
[01:36] <Moonside> "...don't feel like that. I remember saying then that I got drunk on purpose for that... I meant it."
[01:36] * Eltriuqs ([email protected]) has joined #adventure
[01:36] <Moonside> OH LOOK WHO'S HERE NOW
[01:36] <CommodoreJim> oh hi
[01:36] <Skeleton> You missed tree shenanigans
[01:36] * CommodoreJim tombs grimace
[01:36] <Skeleton> And Freddie magic
[01:36] <CommodoreJim> >:S
[01:37] <Eltriuqs> tree what
[01:37] <CommodoreJim> Lotte got stuck in a tree. Literally.
[01:37] <Skeleton> Lotte got stuck in a tree
[01:37] <Deathfish64> You missed something you would have been useless for anyway
[01:37] <Skeleton> The fire department came and were like "well, damn"
[01:37] <Skeleton> "If we had an AMAZING WIZARD we could help"
[01:38] <CommodoreJim> But no, we have Orko.
[01:38] <Moonside> yeah too bad we have none here huh
[01:38] <Skeleton> And Freddie was like "Stand back, ladies"
[01:38] <CommodoreJim> "Ah..." I mutter, falling silent. "Well, uh...why are you asking?"
[01:38] <~flibbyjibbits> now the party is asleep except those two people are having regrets over the things they did
[01:39] <Deathfish64> And we were like "The only lady is stuck in a tree"
[01:39] <Eltriuqs> she's having a problem with wood
[01:39] <Moonside> "Did you want to just pretend it never happened?"
[01:39] <Skeleton> They're having drama bombs
[01:39] <CommodoreJim> "N-no!"
[01:39] <CommodoreJim> quiet drama needs to balance that silly segment
[01:40] <Skeleton> Taking drama dumps
[01:40] <Skeleton> Popping drama zits
[01:40] <CommodoreJim> "I mean...unless that's what you..."
[01:41] <Deathfish64> brb but you don't need me immediately anyway
[01:42] <Moonside> I move a little closer to him. "...no, of course not." (blushing hard)
[01:42] <~flibbyjibbits> a couple more of those dark-ly armored order knights rush by, this time headed in the opposite direction, the hooves of their horses lit by some magic
[01:42] <Deathfish64> unless we get jumped at night by dingo men
[01:42] <Moonside> Are dingo the root of all evil?
[01:42] <CommodoreJim> In which case, Pikkup will go "Cool! Dingo men!"
[01:42] <Deathfish64> No, screw dingo men
[01:43] <Skeleton> ("Holy crap! Dingo men! Hmm... I feel like there's something I should do or say if I see an interesting monster... probably nothing")
[01:43] <Moonside> "Drominus... tell me what you want, then. I want to hear it... from your mouth."
[01:44] <Skeleton> ("You're tearing me apaaaaart Charlotte")
[01:44] <Eltriuqs> she wants something else from his mouth ;3
[01:45] <CommodoreJim> go away tombs go break your back on a mountain
[01:45] <~flibbyjibbits> [The vision orb begins shaking and flashing with reddish electricity, waking Freddie]
[01:45] <CommodoreJim> "Um." I stammer a bit. "I, uh...want you, Lady Charlotte."
[01:45] <Skeleton> "Gwuh snarflgh"
[01:45] <Skeleton> "Owuh where's the snooze button"
[01:46] <Skeleton> "Oh, Crystal Ball! What's goin' down"
[01:46] <~flibbyjibbits> it is entirely unresponsive
[01:46] <Skeleton> "Dammit I was dreaming something cool and now I've forgotten what it was"
[01:46] <Skeleton> "Crystal ball what was I dreaming about"
[01:46] <Moonside> Still blushing hard, I smile awkwardly and nod slowly. Then, I move closer to him, andddd kiss him.
[01:47] <~flibbyjibbits> it does not respond
[01:47] <Skeleton> "Fuckin' fuck" Freddie grumbles and rills over to sleep some more
[01:47] <~flibbyjibbits> the moon is very nearly full- perhaps one day left until it is
[01:47] <Skeleton> *rolls
[01:47] <Skeleton> You know, in the grass, outside the tent
[01:48] <Deathfish64> back
[01:48] <CommodoreJim> I'm obviously startled, but awkwardly kiss her back. (WHERE'S THE ROMANTIC SCENE MUSIC)
[01:48] <CommodoreJim> Pikkup dreams about vampire babez
[01:48] <Skeleton> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X9fzFlHlqIo here it is
[01:48] <Deathfish64> No, he has nightmares about dingos
[01:48] <Moonside> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-IbXAorIn8
[01:48] <CommodoreJim> what is your issue with dingos, man
[01:49] <Moonside> Then, they spend the night together again?
[01:49] <Deathfish64> dingos added to enemies list on character sheet
[01:49] <~flibbyjibbits> no, thatd be if  You Feel Uneasy
[01:49] <CommodoreJim> I guess!
[01:51] <Moonside> FUCKING DINGOS
[01:51] <Moonside> Anyway, next day.
[01:51] <CommodoreJim> who's fucking dingos
[01:51] <CommodoreJim> is it tombs
[01:51] <Skeleton> It's... the crystal ball
[01:51] <Skeleton> Plot twiiist
[01:52] <~flibbyjibbits> the next day it is raining
[01:52] <CommodoreJim> "Lovely." I mutter as I step out of the tent.
[01:52] <Skeleton> Freddie wakes up and is like "puddles? puddles everywhere?"
[01:52] <CommodoreJim> ("I'll rust.")
[01:52] <Skeleton> "Crystal ball? Warty Morty? Who wet the bed"
[01:52] <Moonside> I step out too.
[01:52] <CommodoreJim> Freddie Weddie the Beddie
[01:52] <Moonside> And I'm smiling a little.
[01:53] <Skeleton> "It wasn't me"
[01:53] <~flibbyjibbits> the road turns away from the coast, you can see the city from the cliffside, though, giant, with very large walls and towers surrounding it; there seems to be some fires in a district in the harbor, some slight shimmering in the air that hints at a barrier around them.  Outisde of the city walls are many tents of different sizes, some small, some quite large, and theres wagons of people leaving
[01:54] <~flibbyjibbits> The road turns and heads down into a swamp for about an hour, before turning to head back towards the city, into the camp of tents
[01:54] <~flibbyjibbits> on a hill outside it is a wooden palisade, flying banners of the order, though, there are quite a few of those on the tents, too
[01:55] <CommodoreJim> ...So is this better or worse than the last town
[01:56] <CommodoreJim> 'cause the last town sucked nuts
[01:56] <Skeleton> "What a pretty place"
[01:56] <~flibbyjibbits> the town itself looks nicer, quite a bit larger though, as it seems to have been the capital before the order took over, and it still the primary port
[01:57] <CommodoreJim> "Well, it at least looks better than the last place."
[01:57] <Moonside> "...besides all those Order banners."
[01:58] <CommodoreJim> "Well, yes. That's a bit of a turn-off."
[01:58] <CommodoreJim> (NOT LIKE THAT.)
[01:59] <Deathfish64> "Order banners..."
[02:00] <CommodoreJim> ORDER BANNERS AT GETBANNERS.COM
[02:00] <Moonside> I guess we're going in now.
[02:00] <Deathfish64> Do any of these tents happen to be Zulban's?
[02:01] <~flibbyjibbits> well you can try looking for the largest one, or look at the pallisade, or just wander around, or whatever
[02:01] <Skeleton> Door-to-door
[02:01] <Moonside> What were we doing here, again?
[02:01] <Skeleton> Are you Zulban?
[02:02] <Deathfish64> We're here because the wizard told us too also Luce may or may not be at Zulban's camp in this area
[02:02] <~flibbyjibbits> theres quite a few order knights, but also a lot of regular people around, if you had to guess from a d20 roll, you might guess that it was sort of like a kind of refugee camp, or evacuation zone
[02:02] <CommodoreJim> Knock knock. Hello, my name is Elder Drom, and I'm here to tell you about a most wonderful book!
[02:02] <Deathfish64> It's very well written and also quite flammable
[02:03] <CommodoreJim> How do they slam a tent
[02:03] <~flibbyjibbits> the large tents are open, lot of people going in and out, carrying bundles of stuff
[02:03] <Moonside> Oh yeah, we have to look for Luce.
[02:03] <CommodoreJim> So Pikkup can take her to Summoner's Prom
[02:03] <Skeleton> And we'll need to be sure to not luce her again
[02:03] <CommodoreJim> Booooo.
[02:03] <Skeleton> Aah!
[02:04] <Moonside> Lotte kicks Freddie.
[02:04] <Skeleton> He didn't say that
[02:04] <Skeleton> Whaaaa
[02:04] <Skeleton> "Ow"
[02:04] <Moonside> I kick Skeleton, then.
[02:04] <Skeleton> "What was that for
[02:04] <Skeleton> "
[02:04] <Deathfish64> "That wasn't nice"
[02:04] <Skeleton> You can't I'm too far away
[02:04] <CommodoreJim> I can kick him
[02:04] <Moonside> "I thought it was appropriate."
[02:05] <Skeleton> Freddie sheds a single tear
[02:06] <CommodoreJim> "So...where do we start?"
[02:06] <Moonside> "Maybe we should look for Zulban."
[02:07] <Skeleton> "Did anybody get his address"
[02:07] <Deathfish64> "He's an important guy, right?  Shouldn't be too hard to find him."
[02:07] <Moonside> "Let's try the biggest tent."
[02:08] <~flibbyjibbits> the biggest tent seems to be like a makeshfit meal hall, with a couple of large tables and a big crowd of people inside, and a thrown-together kitchen at the other end
[02:09] <CommodoreJim> "...I don't think this is anyone's quarters."
[02:09] <Moonside> Well, the second biggest tent, then.
[02:09] <Deathfish64> The most expensive looking tent
[02:09] <Skeleton> The tent that says 'beware of zulban'
[02:10] <Skeleton> "What if we just set his place on fire, take off and hope they have a terrible evac plan"
[02:10] <~flibbyjibbits> the second biggest tent is drawn closed and theres two guards standing in front of it
[02:10] <Skeleton> "If anyone asks, it looked like a GIANT book"
[02:11] <Moonside> I turn towards one of the guards. "...excuse me, I'm looking for Sir Zulban."
[02:11] <CommodoreJim> "Subtle." I mutter under my breath.
[02:11] <Deathfish64> (Everybody roll initiative)
[02:12] <~flibbyjibbits> He sounds slightly exasperated, as if you were not the only one who'd been asking him this "No, this tent is for the city officials and the officers in charge of the evacuation camp.  Hes up in the palisade fielding questions to everyone else looking for him."
[02:13] <CommodoreJim> As we walk up to Zulban: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DgUqq2SbCqM
[02:13] <Skeleton> "Couldn't he have left a note on the door that says that instead of makin' you guys stand around all day to do it?"
[02:14] <Moonside> Evil clouds start gathering, and a thunderstorm falls.
[02:15] <~flibbyjibbits> its already raining
[02:15] <Moonside> Well, it starts raining harder.
[02:15] <Moonside> Like someone just used Storm Call.
[02:15] <CommodoreJim> It starts raining skulls.
[02:15] <~flibbyjibbits> it rains entire murdered people
[02:15] <~flibbyjibbits> anyways
[02:16] <Moonside> I thank the guards, and head off to where they said he is.
[02:17] <Skeleton> Everyone else stays behind. We don't want to get murder on our clothers
[02:17] <Skeleton> -r
[02:17] <~flibbyjibbits> the pallisade camp is up on the hill, the walls seem to have been thrown up pretty quickly in under a week, barely more than a tall wooden fence.  Inside is a small wooden building, and a stage in front of it.  Theres somewhat of a crowd of people in front of it.  On the stage are a handful of knights and clerics, and  zulban is sitting on the front edge of it
[02:18] <CommodoreJim> Is he scary
[02:18] <Moonside> Perception check to sizw him up.
[02:18] <~flibbyjibbits> he is quite large, and covered completely in very bulky, dark blue armor, with many stylised circles and wheels decorating it, as well as dozens of words written in draconic runes all over it
[02:19] <Moonside> Hmmm... I don't know draconic yet.
[02:19] <Moonside> Brb bathroom.
[02:19] <~flibbyjibbits> his armor seems to have been desgined to look sort of draconic, with the helmet sort of stretched forward and the gauntlets looking sort of clawed
[02:20] <Skeleton> "What IS that guy"
[02:21] <~flibbyjibbits> he is sitting on the edge of the stage, leaning his elbow on a chair next to him, his head sitting in his palm, as he and the other people  on the stage try to talk calmly to the croud shouting at him.  After about a minute he stands up and heads into the little building, and closes the door behind him
[02:21] <Moonside> Alright.
[02:21] <Moonside> What is the crowd saying?
[02:22] <CommodoreJim> I freeze up a bit at the sight of Nobunag--- I mean Zulban. "/That's/ Zulban...?"
[02:22] <~flibbyjibbits> they mostly seem to want to know why the entire harbor district has been evacuated, since its the most important part of the city economically, and well, they live ther
[02:22] <Skeleton> http://zeldawiki.org/images/d/d0/GanonTP2.jpg ?
[02:22] <~flibbyjibbits> that is similar to his pose yes
[02:22] <Moonside> EVIL
[02:23] <Moonside> "..."
[02:23] <Deathfish64> Wide eye'd stare
[02:24] <Deathfish64> Pikkup is intimidated
[02:24] <Deathfish64> Pikkuptix's attack fell
[02:24] <Moonside> I turn to the group. "Well... what now?"
[02:24] <CommodoreJim> Pick up ticks
[02:24] <Deathfish64> spelling error, -1 defense as well
[02:25] <CommodoreJim> I'm speechless for a bit. "...what /is/ he?"
[02:25] <Deathfish64> "We... we've still got to find out if Luce is here."
[02:25] <Skeleton> "What if that monsterman ate her"
[02:28] <CommodoreJim> "...where would they be keeping her? And what does he want with..." I wince "Half-breeds?"
[02:31] <Moonside> Hmm... some check to gather information?
[02:32] <~flibbyjibbits> one of the clerical agents in the crowd says that you might be able to get in to talk to him in private if you're important or have some political business
[02:32] <CommodoreJim> I check my folder.
[02:33] <Deathfish64> We're important enough to have bff rings
[02:33] <~flibbyjibbits> the folder has a couple of things thtat might be relevant
[02:33] <Skeleton> Freddie hovers
[02:34] <CommodoreJim> I guess I show him the relevant things
[02:34] <~flibbyjibbits> thats a note from telmar saying that he used a sending spell to tell some of the major officials, including zulban, about the investigation, and a couple of sealed letters with instructions to give them to certain people should you run into them, at least one of which is labeled for him
[02:34] <Moonside> "Well, there we go."
[02:34] <CommodoreJim> :( (
[02:35] <Moonside> (what are we investigating again)
[02:35] <Skeleton> "He knows we're here??"
[02:35] <Skeleton> "The death of the king! Duh!!!"
[02:35] <Skeleton> "Right?"
[02:35] <Skeleton> Er wait I didn't say that if you didn't say... that.
[02:35] <CommodoreJim> stoopid freddie
[02:37] <Moonside> Let's show him the letter, then.
[02:37] <CommodoreJim> I show him his special secret letter
[02:38] <~flibbyjibbits> The clerk at the door takes the letter, steps inside for a minute, then steps back out. "He doesn't seem to be in a good mood, but you can go in if you want."
[02:38] <Moonside> "Oh, it's alright. I'm not either." I walk in.
[02:39] <CommodoreJim> "This could be bad." I mutter, and follow.
[02:39] <Deathfish64> I follow without saying anything
[02:40] <Skeleton> I say EVERYTHING
[02:40] <Skeleton> Every word that exists
[02:40] <Deathfish64> That's quite impressive
[02:40] <Skeleton> Several that don't
[02:41] <Deathfish64> I bet that's a riot at parties
[02:41] <~flibbyjibbits> Inside is a makeshift office of sorts.  The walls have flags hung on them, a couple of shelves with some books and folders of maps and other paperwork.  Theres a globe on the desk in the center, as well as a map of the city, with red ink around the borders of what is probably the evacuation zones.  Zulban, still completely covered with his armor, sits in a chair that would be slightly small...
[02:41] <~flibbyjibbits> ...for a normal sized person, so it approaches comically small for him
[02:41] <CommodoreJim> ....
[02:42] <CommodoreJim> I tense again. This isn't going to be good. This isn't going to be good at all.
[02:42] <Moonside> "Sir Zulban."
[02:42] <~flibbyjibbits> his greatsword leans against the wall as well
[02:42] <Skeleton> It's not... THAT... great
[02:43] <~flibbyjibbits> He breathes heavily. It might be the loudest sound in the room. "The Rakor Investigators, I assume?"
[02:43] <CommodoreJim> His pretty okay sword leans against the wall
[02:43] <CommodoreJim> "Yes, that'd be us..."
[02:43] <Skeleton> Freddie sinks into his shoulders
[02:43] <Deathfish64> "We have rings and everything."
[02:43] <~flibbyjibbits> He sighs, against fairly loudly.  His voice is very deep, somewhat raspy and muffled by the helmet
[02:44] <Skeleton> Drom's dad!
[02:44] <CommodoreJim> No!
[02:44] <Skeleton> Search your feelings
[02:44] <Skeleton> You know it to be true
[02:44] <~flibbyjibbits> "My apologies for the news about your king. I understand that the public isn't being told for another few days.  That aside, what are you here for? Did something point you towards this city?"
[02:44] <Moonside> Join me, Drominus, and together we can rule the galaxy!
[02:45] <CommodoreJim> NEVER
[02:45] <Moonside> (yeah, why are we here again)
[02:45] <Moonside> (like, exactly why)
[02:46] <CommodoreJim> Oficially, investigating the assassination of the king and untangling the tangled plot
[02:46] <~flibbyjibbits> two main reasons, looking for luce, and there was that parrot the summoner in the tunnels had, thats only native to this specific delta
[02:46] <CommodoreJim> Yeah, the parrot led here
[02:46] <~flibbyjibbits> maybe some other minor things pointing towards here like that rumors that Z was looking for some help with some problems
[02:46] <CommodoreJim> The parrot owned by the KILLERS OF THE KING
[02:47] <Moonside> "...yes. A parrot was found in the hideout of those who conspired to murder the king, and it apparently was native to this area."
[02:47] <Skeleton> Does Zulban need butt medicine
[02:47] <Skeleton> For his butt
[02:47] <~flibbyjibbits> perception check freddie: his eyes are orange-red, like fire
[02:47] <Moonside> EVIL
[02:48] <Deathfish64> I think I know where this is goin
[02:48] <Moonside> (why does Freddie get all the perception checks)
[02:48] <Deathfish64> (WIS ?
[02:48] <Deathfish64> )
[02:48] <~flibbyjibbits> because he rolls 20 and the rest of you roll 4s
[02:48] <Skeleton> freddie notices everything but doesn't care
[02:48] <Moonside> (damn this die)
[02:49] <~flibbyjibbits> "A parrot? There are a few in this area.  Difficult to tame.  The people capable of handling them only sell them under some government supervision, since they're seen as a local treasure.  Anything else bothering you?"
[02:49] <~flibbyjibbits> "Or any other information you have or need?"
[02:49] <Skeleton> Are his eyes like actually on fuckin fire
[02:49] <Skeleton> Or are they just red
[02:49] <CommodoreJim> ("YES. YOU.")
[02:49] <~flibbyjibbits> no, theyre just regular eyes with orange irises
[02:49] <Skeleton> Oh
[02:49] <Skeleton> Well, Freddie disregards it as being natural
[02:51] <Skeleton> This guy is Ganondorf
[02:51] <CommodoreJim> Welp. Who's gonna ask about Luce?
[02:51] <Skeleton> Stix
[02:52] <CommodoreJim> ("mai waifu")
[02:52] <CommodoreJim> ("where you take mai waifu")
[02:52] <Moonside> "...a friend of ours... disappeared a few days ago. A realiable source said that she would probably be here. She's..." I take a deep breath." ...half-vampire."
[02:52] <Deathfish64> ("and really hot")
[02:53] <Skeleton> She's half undead, shouldn't she be cold
[02:53] <~flibbyjibbits> He leans forward a bit, resting his elbows on the table, "Theres more than one halfbreed in the nation.  Where did you know her from?"
[02:53] <Deathfish64> What was that place even called?
[02:53] <Moonside> What's the name of the shitty city again? Tholest?
[02:53] <~flibbyjibbits> tholest
[02:53] <Skeleton> Tholest
[02:53] <CommodoreJim> I grit my teeth, almost audibly, at the use of the phrase 'half-breed'
[02:53] <Deathfish64> "Tholest."
[02:54] <Skeleton> Voldemort what's your deal
[02:55] <~flibbyjibbits> He leans back in his chair, which creeks under his weight. "Oh, yes. She killed that preacher, right?  What was his name...."
[02:55] <Skeleton> Galashin, Freddie thinks, but cannot squeak
[02:55] <CommodoreJim> "Galashin."
[02:56] <Deathfish64> Maybe we weren't supposed to know that
[02:56] <Deathfish64> Like, in a trick question sort of way
[02:56] <CommodoreJim> Well I'm sure he's suspicious anyway
[02:56] <CommodoreJim> Lotte called the dhampir our "friend"
[02:56] <~flibbyjibbits> his throat rumbles a bit, "I  didn't like him.  He was outside of my jurisdiction, the clergy.  "
[02:57] <~flibbyjibbits> He stands up and takes a step towards the bookshelf, pulls out a folder.  "I suppose you want to know where she is now, your 'friend?'"
[02:57] <Moonside> "...yes."
[02:58] <CommodoreJim> I nod.
[02:58] <Deathfish64> "Yeah."
[02:58] <Skeleton> "m"
[02:58] <~flibbyjibbits> "Well, is that in itself reason enough for you to do something for me, first, or do you need slightly more coercion?" He says, opening the folder slightly, one or two papers spill out onto the table, face down.
[02:59] <Moonside> I frown visibly.
[03:00] <Deathfish64> I frown invisibly.
[03:00] <Deathfish64> stealth check
[03:01] <CommodoreJim> I frown beneath my helmet.
[03:01] <~flibbyjibbits> 19
[03:01] <Moonside> Useless, unless you have Hide in Plain Sight.
[03:01] <Deathfish64> I don't but maybe my frown does
[03:02] <Skeleton> Your frown is chaotic evil
[03:02] <Skeleton> It can't come with us
[03:02] <Deathfish64> omg
[03:02] <CommodoreJim> "...what would you have us do, Sir Zulban?" I ask through gritted teeth.
[03:03] <~flibbyjibbits> "It is not within the powers given to my knights by the laws to go within the evacuation zone, but somebody has to.  "
[03:04] <CommodoreJim> "...what for?"
[03:04] <~flibbyjibbits> He flips over one of the papers- its a draft of a 'wanted' poster with a rough sketch of Lotte, "I don't believe you are real criminals- since you'd have been able to assure your witness's silence, so I'll be able to tell you that there is a small planar rift that could become more dangerous if not closed before the full moon is over."
[03:04] <Skeleton> to dig up luce's corpse :OOOOOOOOOOOOOO
[03:05] <Moonside> I sigh.
[03:05] <~flibbyjibbits> "These have yet to be dsitrubuted, they don't have to be."
[03:06] <Deathfish64> "The things I do for love..." I mutter to myself.
[03:06] <CommodoreJim> Did Pikkup just hear "planes"?
[03:06] <Deathfish64> He also hears "rift"
[03:06] <CommodoreJim> what's my poster look like is it my helmet
[03:06] <~flibbyjibbits> yes
[03:07] <Deathfish64> and "dangerous"
[03:07] <CommodoreJim> SOUNDS DANGEROUS
[03:07] <CommodoreJim> I'M IN
[03:07] <Moonside> "...tell us more."
[03:07] <Deathfish64> SOUNDS APOCALYPTIC
[03:07] <Deathfish64> I'M IN
[03:07] <~flibbyjibbits> "If you resolve the issue, I can arrange it such that your bounty is dropped, you can have safe, fast, passage back to your home, and I will tell you where Luce is."
[03:08] <Skeleton> Freddie's knees quiver. Surely no one would believe he could do a crime.... successfully
[03:08] <Deathfish64> I don't think I even did much in that fight
[03:08] <Skeleton> No
[03:08] <Deathfish64> if anything
[03:08] <Moonside> "But not if she's alive, unharmed, or free to come with us?"
[03:08] <~flibbyjibbits> "If you are willing to help, stay here until nightfall, then one of my knights will take you by boat to where you can get in, and he'll explain the issue along the way."
[03:09] <CommodoreJim> I never even hit the guy.
[03:09] <Deathfish64> brb again
[03:11] <~flibbyjibbits> "I would be quite reluctant to execute a half breed. " he says, sitting down again, talking quite a bit quieter, his voice changed in tone in a way difficult to describe in words. "I am not sure if I can personally say that I blame her for what she did. She is only half human, after all, the other half being a beast meant for killing. "
[03:12] <Moonside> "Yes, surely her parents being killed by you people had nothing to do with it."
[03:12] <CommodoreJim> "...." I'm just barely keeping in an outburst.
[03:13] <Skeleton> Stop waving your tongue around like a feather duster Lotte ¦U
[03:14] <~flibbyjibbits> "I'm not sure how strong the parental bond is in such creatures.  likely did have some bearing on it, but even if it didnt, I still always have sympathy for those cursed from birth between two kinds."
[03:14] <CommodoreJim> "Grk..."
[03:15] <Moonside> "..."
[03:15] <CommodoreJim> I'm clenching my fists so much I'm afraid I'll dent my gauntlets. Fuck this guy!
[03:16] <Skeleton> He seems nice!
[03:17] <Deathfish64> "..."
[03:17] <Moonside> "Alright. We'll do it." I turn around to the group. "Any objections?"
[03:17] <Skeleton> "n"
[03:17] <~flibbyjibbits> "Now, if thats all we have to discuss now, I'll make the arrangements for your passage into the city.  Good luck."
[03:18] <CommodoreJim> I dare not open my mouth, lest strings of orcish profanity fly out, so I just shake my head.
[03:18] <Deathfish64> "Nah."
[03:18] <Moonside> I leave without saying a word.
[03:18] <Deathfish64> Pikkup is entirely more serious than the use of "yeah" and "nah" imply
[03:18] <Deathfish64> But he uses them anyway
[03:20] <~flibbyjibbits> "In six hours, head to the dock outside the city.  While you're in there, I'll make the arrangements you need."
[03:21] <CommodoreJim> I exit after we're done with Zulban. "Half-breeds...." I hiss under my breath. I want to PUNCH something
[03:21] <CommodoreJim> (Where's Freddie)
[03:21] <Skeleton> :( (
[03:22] <Moonside> I head to a place without many people in it.
[03:23] <Skeleton> WHERE IS BAR
[03:23] <CommodoreJim> Is there anything to punch nearbye
[03:23] <Deathfish64> Go to the Broken Drum and participate in a barfight
[03:23] <Deathfish64> (you can't beat it!)
[03:24] <CommodoreJim> That's unknightly.
[03:24] <~flibbyjibbits> as you leave his office, some of those dark-armor knights that'd been riding past enter it
[03:24] <~flibbyjibbits> they close the door very hard
[03:26] <Moonside> Well, what now.
[03:26] <CommodoreJim> "Grrrrrr...."
[03:26] <Deathfish64> find something Drom can hit without being unknightly
[03:27] <Deathfish64> Like a criminal or something
[03:27] <Deathfish64> idk
[03:27] <Skeleton> Summon something
[03:27] <~flibbyjibbits> well, the little camp is reprentative of about a small towns of people, so it has most types of things a town would have, but with tents and more order knights wandering around, and more of an atmosphere of what the hell is going on
[03:28] <Moonside> I head to a place without many people in it.
[03:28] <CommodoreJim> TO THE BAR TENT
[03:28] <CommodoreJim> Except no.
[03:28] <CommodoreJim> Drom would PUNCH someone.
[03:28] <~flibbyjibbits> down around by the dock theres less people, or outside of the tent-town at all, really
[03:29] <Moonside> I guess I"ll head to the dock, since that's where we're supposed to go anyway.
[03:29] <Deathfish64> But not yet
[03:30] <~flibbyjibbits> im gonna go to the vending machine, like 2 minutes
[03:30] <~flibbyjibbits> just do whatever
[03:30] <CommodoreJim> I wander to the docks to look out at the water dramatically
[03:30] <Skeleton> Freddie drinks. Everything.
[03:30] <Moonside> I go with Drom, and stay by his side.
[03:31] <Moonside> "...I sort of wish Elly was here."
[03:31] <CommodoreJim> "...that's...your sister, right? I think you may have mentioned her before." I ask, not quite sure if I'm remember correctly.
[03:31] <Skeleton> ("Yes and she's a full-blooded huuuuman")
[03:32] <Skeleton> ("Just so ya know")
[03:32] <CommodoreJim> (Tombs: "is she hot")
[03:32] <Skeleton> She's Hot Elizabeth
[03:32] <Moonside> "Yeah. She's 10 years younger than me... I wouldn't want her to be in this much trouble, but I'd like to hug her right now. It feels really nice when we hug, you know?"
[03:32] <Moonside> "...sigh."
[03:33] <Moonside> "She's probably worried about me right now..."
[03:34] <CommodoreJim> ("how come you never write")
[03:34] <Skeleton> "I forgot how")
[03:34] <Skeleton> (
[03:34] <Moonside> ("there's no such thing as mail")
[03:36] <CommodoreJim> I awkwardly pat Lotte on the shoulder. "Well...we'll get you back to her when this is over. Then you can tell her about everything." I pause. "...may want to leave out the tree, though."
[03:37] <Moonside> I chuckle. "Haha... nah, that's the part she'd like the most."
[03:38] <~flibbyjibbits> ("But not the other parts. tell her all about those.. ")
[03:39] <~flibbyjibbits> is there anything else anyone wants to do before timeskipping to the mission
[03:39] <Moonside> Nah, not really.
[03:39] <CommodoreJim> Nope.
[03:39] <CommodoreJim> Drom's just being butthurt about Zulban's half-breed talk
