  29. <Skeleton> ready to rocks
  30. <Moonside> Yaaay.
  31. <Deathfish64> woohoo!
  32. <flibbyjibbits> since im at home cant stay up as late but left all my papers at dorm anyways
  33. <flibbyjibbits> and the enemies werent on the srd because id wrote them mostly myself so cant do that
  34. <Deathfish64> oh
  35. <Skeleton> Can Pikkup still go to the summoner battle ring
  36. <flibbyjibbits> i guess he could but the things planned there arent
  37. <Deathfish64> I'd rather do interesting things when you actually have the planned material
  38. <flibbyjibbits> way i do things is i remember the soft things and write down the numbers
  39. <flibbyjibbits> so can do setup stuff or just call it the vacation episode idk
  40. <Skeleton> It can be like the train chapter of Paper Mario 2 where there's almost no fighting and almost all talking and puzzles
  41. <flibbyjibbits> yeah except i didnt write any puzzles
  42. <Skeleton> But then Freddie reads the ghost's diary and gets killed
  43. <Moonside> But a lot of our chapters are like that already.
  44. <Moonside> Vacation episode sounds nice, anyway.
  45. <CommodoreJim> Time to find something for Drom to do besides carve more coconuts
  46. <flibbyjibbits> any questions
  47. <Skeleton> All right, when we left off it was getting late
  48. <flibbyjibbits> gonna brb bathroom so just do whatever. sorry i guess about lack of anything exciting
  49. <CommodoreJim> Hmm.
  50. <Skeleton> "So who's up for some piña coladas"
  51. <Skeleton> "I sure could go for a piña colada"
  52. <Deathfish64> I had no idea what to do from this point anyway...
  53. <Moonside> Lotte would be interested in playing chess with Ralan or cool!Idrian.
  54. <flibbyjibbits> ralan isnt there
  55. <flibbyjibbits> falkan you mightve meant i assume
  56. <Moonside> Oh yeah I keep confusing their names.
  57. <CommodoreJim> Captain Falkan
  58. <CommodoreJim> Falkan punch xddddddddddddd
  59. <Skeleton> Mary-An
  60. <flibbyjibbits> its probably about evening times right now
  61. <Skeleton> Spider-Man
  62. <flibbyjibbits> streets still kinda crowded with a lot of people but nothing signifigant
  63. <flibbyjibbits> it was never specifically said by anyone but you can probably try to crash at the kres manor if you wanted
  64. <Moonside> I thought we were going to sleep there, yes.
  65. <CommodoreJim> Question will Zulban watch me in my sleep :<
  66. <Skeleton> He will, and when he gets tired he will slink into the bed
  67. <CommodoreJim> Nooooooo
  68. <Deathfish64> While both of you are still in full armor
  69. <flibbyjibbits> alright well whats everyone gonna do
  70. <Moonside> I'm going to play chess with Socrates.
  71. <Deathfish64> What part of the manor were we not supposed to go to?
  72. <CommodoreJim> West wing, I think?
  73. <Deathfish64> I couldn't remember if it was west or east
  74. <flibbyjibbits> west was the one you were told to stay out of
  75. <Deathfish64> Then Pikkup will check out the east wing
  76. <flibbyjibbits> east is the one you were in before with libraries and kitchens and entertainment rooms, i guesssouth is the one with bedrooms
  77. <Deathfish64> oh
  78. <Deathfish64> it there a north?
  79. <Deathfish64> is*
  80. <CommodoreJim> is there a monster pit
  81. <CommodoreJim> full of monsters
  82. <Deathfish64> yes, excellent question
  83. <flibbyjibbits> no its T shaped
  84. <Deathfish64> Well, I got nothing then
  85. <Skeleton> Do they have a pool table
  86. <CommodoreJim> oh yes do the
  87. <CommodoreJim> y
  88. <Moonside> So I go to the library and just take a table there and get a chess set from somewhere. Socrates has the black pieces because he's black.
  89. <flibbyjibbits> i guess maybe
  90. <flibbyjibbits> assuming such a sport was invented yet
  91. <Moonside> Lotte moves, then since he doesn't have opposable thumbs since he's a fucking cat she has to like move the pieces for him.
  92. <Deathfish64> I was gonna ask how you were planning on playing with a cat
  93. <CommodoreJim> Lotte is now a crazy cat lady
  94. <CommodoreJim> Maybe Drom will persue one of his other artistic hobbies. Drawing or poetry, hmm
  95. <Moonside> "So, which one do you want to move now? A rook? No? Uh... a bishop? A pawn? Oh, a pawn, yeah? Alright, which one? Oh, ok."
  96. <Skeleton> Hey Drommy sweetie
  97. <Skeleton> hmmmm
  98. <Skeleton> What's that you're drawing
  99. <CommodoreJim> !roll 1 2
  100. <CommodoreJim> whoops
  101. <CommodoreJim> wouldja look at that, I'm slow
  102. <CommodoreJim> Coinflip!
  103. <flibbyjibbits> considering the whole "one of the oldest noble families in the country" deal the building is quite large (though for the most part the current residents just sit in one or two rooms all day; zulban in the west wing and sometimes talking walks around and then the surviving elder of the family and Z's older sister just sit in their suites all day and never leave because theyre lazy
  104. <CommodoreJim> Heads, drawing time
  105. <CommodoreJim> But what should he draw
  106. <Moonside> Helmets.
  107. <Skeleton> Freddie performing cool magics
  108. <Moonside> Boobs.
  109. <flibbyjibbits> the rest of the building except the the west wing is maintained by the many servants (who mostly seem to be halfeves and gnomes), and I imagine wherever you folks are in the place atleast one or two mightve come by to take drink or food orders
  110. <CommodoreJim> Oh yes drawing boobs would go over well
  111. <Deathfish64> yep, definitely boobs
  112. <Skeleton> 'is that a painting of a butt' 'no of course not, it's a drawing of boobs'
  113. <flibbyjibbits> since falkan invited you there with zulbans approval you probably got full run of the place
  114. <Moonside> Maybe Zulban's not such a bad guy after all! (yeah right)
  115. * aRKAY ([email protected]) Quit (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
  116. <CommodoreJim> Maybe he DOESN'T want to gay touch Drom! (hahaha as if)
  117. <CommodoreJim> Well I guess Drom starts sketching whatever
  118. <CommodoreJim> Maybe Lotte playing chess with her cat.
  119. <Deathfish64> Pikkup will go to the library area and start looking for books on monsters
  120. <CommodoreJim> Because it seems an amusing thing to draw
  121. <CommodoreJim> Pikkup finds a copy of "101 Monsters That Might Live On Your Skin"
  122. <Moonside> "Ok, so the rook to this position, ri... wait, what?" Socrates meows, calling checkmate.
  123. <CommodoreJim> Drom snrks.
  124. <Skeleton> Lotte outsmarted by cat
  125. <flibbyjibbits> probably about half the books are written in infernal, draconic, or auran, because apparently those languages were considered higher class to speak
  126. <Moonside> "..." Lotte doesn't really believe that she just lost to a cat. "We're playing again."
  127. <flibbyjibbits> like the noble families would speak in extraplanar languages as a status symbol
  128. <CommodoreJim> "Show 'im who's boss, Lotte."
  129. <Skeleton> "Nice job cat"
  130. <Moonside> This time, she's obviously giving more thought to her moves.
  131. <Deathfish64> Well, Pikkup can read infernal
  132. <Deathfish64> The others, however, would be indecipherable
  133. <CommodoreJim> '1001 Insults in Infernal Your Friends Won't Understand!' except Lotte because she can speak everything
  134. <flibbyjibbits> the library is primarily history books and flowery boring fiction, like this settigns version of shakespeare or stuff youd be made to read in english class
  135. <Deathfish64> drat
  136. <CommodoreJim> Hey as long as there's something like Macbeth or Othello, there's cool things in there
  137. <flibbyjibbits> i mean probably marginally more interesting since you know its got magic and stuff
  138. <CommodoreJim> 'this is just like othello except othello's a half-orc instead of black'
  139. <flibbyjibbits> and macbeths sword was +2 flaming burst
  140. <Skeleton> And the green-eyed monster isn't envy, it's ACTUALLY A MONSTER WITH GREEN EYES HOLY SHIT
  141. * aRKAY ([email protected]) has joined #adventure
  142. <flibbyjibbits> each of the 6 rooms of the library displays one book prominantly in the center, like in a glass case
  143. <Deathfish64> What are they?
  144. <flibbyjibbits> you may observe that theyre themed around the 6 outer rings or the suits of cards
  145. <Deathfish64> Well, that's more interesting at least, but it's not like Pikkup is going to borrow what is clearly some sort of valuable collector's item
  146. <Deathfish64> because good
  147. <flibbyjibbits> the room that the chess sets was in appeared to be an original copy of a biography of king rakor
  148. <Skeleton> <lotte> my book sense is tingling
  149. <Moonside> I was going to say something like that, but I'm not anymore.
  150. <CommodoreJim> haha
  151. <CommodoreJim> Anyway be right back getting food
  152. <CommodoreJim> assume Drom is still drawing lotte losing to cat
  153. <flibbyjibbits> then theres a book of poems about the moon, a collection of short stories about the seers/tower mages, a very old looking 15 page essay titled "ashra did nothing wrong", and a comedic play about some masquearde ball
  154. <Skeleton> omg
  155. <Skeleton> Shouldn't Ashra Did Nothing Wrong be a flavor of soda
  156. <flibbyjibbits> yes
  157. <flibbyjibbits> its not a particularly well written paper, but it looks like it was written by a member of the kres family some 600 years ago, so thats probably why its there
  158. <Moonside> So, it was a close game, but Lotte ends up winning this one. "Yeah!" Socrates meows, though, probably asking for a tiebreaker.
  159. <Deathfish64> Pikkup thinks this is a terrible library
  160. <flibbyjibbits> in the whole place thees got to be atleast one book that be interesting to pikkup
  161. <flibbyjibbits> maybe in the tower themed room theres like a copy of the evocers sketchbook
  162. <flibbyjibbits> from his journey along the south islands where he collected giant golems
  163. <flibbyjibbits> well i guess more like he blew them up and then collected the peices
  164. <flibbyjibbits> but first he drew pictures of them because he was a weird dude
  165. <Moonside> He was like Pikkup, probably.
  166. <Deathfish64> That sounds like something Pikkup would like, yes
  167. <Deathfish64> Pikkup would most definitely prefer to collect data on monsters before killing them, but typically he just can't because they are attacking
  168. <Skeleton> Pikkup is the very image of a tragic hero
  169. <Moonside> Lotte and Socrates start the final game. They're both at full power.
  170. <Skeleton> X-Factor!
  171. <Skeleton> "I've never been any good at chess"
  172. <Skeleton> "But... I bet I could beat Warty Morty"
  173. <Deathfish64> Unleash your finishing move! Fatal KO!
  174. <Skeleton> King Offtheboard
  175. <flibbyjibbits> the evoker went around on a little sailboat and every tim he saw one of the ancient golems he put his hands on the side of his head in joy, drew them, then exploded them and put the peices in a bag
  176. <Deathfish64> What a great role model
  177. <CommodoreJim> I'm back
  178. <CommodoreJim> Drom watches the game intently, going back to the sketch every so often
  179. <CommodoreJim> also the evoker sounds like a fantastic dude
  180. <flibbyjibbits> i forget where his ball is now, its either in the magma fountain in the moldath capital or sitting in a box under ralans chair in his office
  181. <Moonside> This game has reached a level beyond the comprehension of people with an INT score lower than 18. But it's not like chess is known for being the most understandable game anyway so who cares.
  182. <CommodoreJim> Drom has no clue what he's watching but by god he's watching it
  183. <flibbyjibbits> theres probably also some kind of 6 sided chess variant around there themed after that whole cycle thing but nobody cares enough to play it
  184. <Deathfish64> Pikkup would not understand but he is probably too absorbed in this sketchbook anyway
  185. * isophane ([email protected]) has joined #adventure
  186. * isophane ([email protected]) has left #adventure
  187. <Moonside> Took a while for the first random to appear, really.
  188. <Skeleton> ??????
  189. <Skeleton> There've been others
  190. <Skeleton> Just not on Saturdays
  191. <Moonside> Oh, huh.
  192. <Moonside> Anyway, the game ends on a draw as they capture all of each other's pieces except the kings.
  193. <Skeleton> "How absurd."
  194. <CommodoreJim> "Well."
  195. <CommodoreJim> Drom finishes his drawing
  196. <Deathfish64> WE LOSE, BUT THEY DO NOT WIN!?
  197. <flibbyjibbits> at some point during all of this after the sun had set some of the servants went in to light all the candles or whatever, or take the covers off whatever matter of alchemical/magic light source a fancy place would have
  198. <CommodoreJim> http://i.imgur.com/rRD0f.png hot damn
  199. <Moonside> "Whew... good game. You're smarter than you look, you know. Since you're a cat." Socrates meows in agreement.
  200. <Moonside> It's a good sketch.
  201. <CommodoreJim> Drom's Lotte vs Socrates drawing is apparently really good
  202. <flibbyjibbits> ws lotte moving the peices with her hair
  203. <Moonside> Socrates', yeah.
  204. <CommodoreJim> "Aaaand, done." Drom announces as he puts down his drawing utensil of choice. "Thanks for the subject matter."
  205. <flibbyjibbits> around now one of the doors opens, Falkan, Zulban, and Idrian all walk through together having a whispered conversation, pass through to the other side without acknowledging anyone
  206. <Moonside> "Huh? Oh. How does it look?"
  207. <CommodoreJim> Drom hands the picture over to Lotte as he watches the three walk through.
  208. <Moonside> "Whoa, this is really good."
  209. <Moonside> "It's a little funny, because you can't draw coconuts to save your life, yet you can draw a human and a cat playing chess really well."
  210. <CommodoreJim> "Hey." Drom frowns, not that it's noticeable under the helmet. "Carving is hard, alright?"
  211. <Skeleton> "You should draw me doing some amazing magics sometime"
  212. <CommodoreJim> "My imagination isn't that great."
  213. <Skeleton> Freddie waggles his fingers on 'amazing magics'
  214. <Moonside> "Ok."
  215. <CommodoreJim> Drominus Hellcleave, man of the arts
  216. <CommodoreJim> Drom looks over to where the three order peeps had walked out. "Wonder what they're all talking about. Must be important enough that they didn't even pretend to acknowledge us."
  217. <flibbyjibbits> the same halfelf guy whod brought the drinks earlier walks in from the direction they left "I have been instructed to show you to a place you may stay for the night. "
  218. <CommodoreJim> "Ah, thank you."
  219. <Moonside> "Oh, that'll be nice."
  220. <Skeleton> "Boss."
  221. <Deathfish64> Pikkup puts down the sketchbook and says "Oh, that's good."
  222. <flibbyjibbits> somewhere in the north wing theres a hallway with 8 small rooms off of it, and some fnacy paintings and whatnot-
  223. <Moonside> North wing?
  224. <flibbyjibbits> wait right
  225. <flibbyjibbits> south
  226. <flibbyjibbits> the south one
  227. <Moonside> Ok.
  228. <flibbyjibbits> one of the doors has falkans name permenantly marked on it with a plaque
  229. <flibbyjibbits> guess he stays here often
  230. <flibbyjibbits> there is also some form of demarkation that idrian is in another one, probably next to falkans
  231. <flibbyjibbits> 4 on a side, each has an open balcony that looks over part of the adjacent courtyard, anyone who went into a room on the left and looked out the window wouldve been able to briefly see zulban speaking to a small group of servants
  232. <flibbyjibbits> the guy who was there to guide you unlocks 5 of the rooms, "I will show you to breakfast in the morning. I have been instructed to tell you that you are not to leave until I get you. Do not leave the rooms in the night."
  233. <CommodoreJim> Hm. Suspicious.
  234. <Moonside> But there are 6 of us.
  235. <Skeleton> <lotte and drom> excellent
  236. <Skeleton> "It's okay, I don't think any of us are sleepwalkers"
  237. <Moonside> "Um, it looks like there aren't enough rooms for all of us."
  238. <CommodoreJim> and then Warty Morty goes out in the night and SPIES
  239. <Skeleton> Warty Morty is actually a helicopter spybot
  240. <flibbyjibbits> "I am sorry for that, but two are occupied and the third is unavailable."
  241. <Moonside> "..." I look over the others. "For a change, two of you guys will be sleeping together this time."
  242. <Deathfish64> "Huh? Why?"
  243. <flibbyjibbits> the rooms have really nice couches at least
  244. <Moonside> "Because I want to sleep by myself this time? Because it's actually the logical and gentlemanly thing to do?"
  245. <Skeleton> "You and Drom didn't... over a coconut to the face? I thought you were closer than that"
  246. <flibbyjibbits> the halfelf butler just stands there at the end of the hallway watching you, presumably waiting for you to enter the rooms
  247. <Moonside> "...this has nothing to do with that. I just want to sleep alone this time, ok? Anyway, goodnight." I go into one of the rooms and lock the door behind me.
  248. <CommodoreJim> Drom blinks, then turns to everyone else and shrugs.
  249. <Deathfish64> ("Make tombs and Raynar sleep in the same room because they haven't said anything all session.")
  250. <flibbyjibbits> the only fair way to do it
  251. <Moonside> How many more days are we staying here again?
  252. <flibbyjibbits> [[the butler picks up the two T pose people and just drops them on the bed]]
  253. <CommodoreJim> Haha
  254. <Skeleton> hahaha
  255. * aRKAY ([email protected]) Quit (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
  256. <flibbyjibbits> i imagine they mage a clang noise when they hit surfaces
  257. <Skeleton> omg he must've been really tired
  258. <Skeleton> "Well that solves that"
  259. <Deathfish64> "Yup."
  260. <CommodoreJim> "Well, then. Goodnight, gentlemen."
  261. <flibbyjibbits> passenger boats go every 5 days so 5 or 10 days
  262. <Deathfish64> "See you in the morning."
  263. <Skeleton> "Sleep tight ya heartless monsters"
  264. <flibbyjibbits> after everone has entered the rooms the guy goes and locks them all from the outside
  265. <Skeleton> Do we hear the clicks
  266. <flibbyjibbits> yes
  267. <Skeleton> "Hey"
  268. <flibbyjibbits> this is how you knew those
  269. <Skeleton> "Not even if I need to take a leak?"
  270. <Moonside> I go out the balcony.
  271. <flibbyjibbits> it isnt realy much of a concern for freddie since he can open locks magically
  272. <Skeleton> Hahahaha
  273. <Deathfish64> Pikkup summons Ekans
  274. <Moonside> Or Lotte, since she's, you know, a Rogue. And Rogues open doors.
  275. <Skeleton> Master of Unlocking
  276. <CommodoreJim> Can I mentally ask my horse to spy on things
  277. <Deathfish64> Ekans can fly off the balcony
  278. <Deathfish64> but not yet
  279. <flibbyjibbits> in the courtyard some servants are running about, cutting back and forth across the lawn between the wings of the building, carrying boxes and making preperations for something
  280. <CommodoreJim> they're gonna hang us here omg
  281. <flibbyjibbits> since its a new moon this is only really obvious from candles or torches some are holding, or starlight reflected off a pool on the west side
  282. <Skeleton> Idrian is our judge, jury and executioner. No really. Fourteen Idrians.
  283. <flibbyjibbits> {you enter the courtroom, idrian is sitting in the judge chair, also the bailiff is her, and the jury is a dozen of her, also both the laweyers and the entire audience}
  284. <Deathfish64> Casting Invisiblity on Ekans, and rolling or stealth
  285. <Skeleton> waaaaaaaa
  286. <Deathfish64> http://gyazo.com/9a503d67d23823ff76f4ebe5cf836349.png shitty roll but invisibility is magic
  287. <Deathfish64> 3+33 = 36
  288. <flibbyjibbits> and its not like a magically levitating snake is gonna make any moise
  289. <Moonside> Invisibility is +20 to Stealth rolls or some shit.
  290. <Deathfish64> yeah
  291. <flibbyjibbits> noise*
  292. <Skeleton> Freddie really just figures 'they just want to be safe and are probably already breaking some rules letting us stay here when we're suspects of killing an Idrian... it's no big deal'
  293. <CommodoreJim> Drom doesn't sneak well. So he just stays inside and is all "Hm."
  294. <flibbyjibbits> ekans is good to go pretty much anywhere except he cant open doors i would guess not
  295. <Deathfish64> yeah, lack of limbs is a bit of a hinderance there
  296. <Deathfish64> hindrance*
  297. <CommodoreJim> evolve tentacles
  298. <Skeleton> Evolve a trogdor arm
  299. <Deathfish64> He's out of range for evolution surge
  300. <flibbyjibbits> anyways now what
  301. <Deathfish64> uh
  302. <Moonside> Lotte goes to sleep.
  303. <Deathfish64> Ekans follows one of the servants I guess
  304. <Skeleton> Freddie magics his clothes and boots and self clean, sleeps
  305. <flibbyjibbits> which wing does he follow a servant into
  306. <Deathfish64> How about west
  307. <flibbyjibbits> west (zulbanland) south (bedrooms) east (enterntainment/food/stuff)
  308. <Deathfish64> since we're dying to know what is in there
  309. <flibbyjibbits> ok then i assume he like darts in as one of the servants opens a door to carry a box of stuff
  310. <Deathfish64> that was what I would have suggested
  311. <Moonside> Wheem Zulbanland!
  312. <flibbyjibbits> the very dimly lit wing of the manor was obviously formerly the nicest one
  313. <flibbyjibbits> the room ekans is in looks like it was a huge dining hall with great tapestries and suc
  314. <flibbyjibbits> h
  315. <flibbyjibbits> but
  316. <flibbyjibbits> it looks like none of the staff has been there to clean it in decades, only footprints in the thick dust are zulbans, and it looks like hes spent a lot of time pacing around, smashing furniture, slashing tapestries and paintings
  317. <Deathfish64> wow what a dick
  318. <flibbyjibbits> theres a couple of doors around, some closed some open
  319. <Deathfish64> Check the nearest open door
  320. <flibbyjibbits> a closed set of doubledoors clearly leads back to the main lobby
  321. <flibbyjibbits> nearest open door has uh
  322. <flibbyjibbits> trying to remember sorry
  323. <flibbyjibbits> no notes and all
  324. <CommodoreJim> clows!
  325. <Deathfish64> it's k
  326. <CommodoreJim> it's full of zulban's secret clown stache
  327. <flibbyjibbits> looks like it used to be a store room, or a pantry
  328. <flibbyjibbits> theres about a half dozen of the servants sitting around, huddled about a heatstone in the middle of the floor, they look pretty nervous
  329. <flibbyjibbits> talking very quietly to eachother in elvish
  330. * Arkay ([email protected]) has joined #adventure
  331. <Deathfish64> Ekans understands elvish by proxy, since Pikkup does
  332. <flibbyjibbits> they are very concerned about a guest that is supposed to be arriving shortly
  333. <Skeleton> ASHRA
  334. <CommodoreJim> !!!
  335. <Deathfish64> Anything else?
  336. <flibbyjibbits> its a litle bit windy which is weird because its indoors
  337. <flibbyjibbits> they are concerned about this
  338. <Deathfish64> That is something worth being concerned about
  339. <flibbyjibbits> and also wonder why that wing of the building is so different in temperature
  340. <Skeleton> 'Who left the AC running? We can't afford this. Fuck.'
  341. <flibbyjibbits> like this is a tropical island theres no reason for it to be near freezing
  342. <Deathfish64> Well, Ekans will slip out of there and move on to the next room
  343. <flibbyjibbits> lot of rooms of artwork and furniture all in semi destroyed states
  344. <CommodoreJim> You find Zulban's secret bounce house room
  345. <CommodoreJim> :O
  346. <flibbyjibbits> there is a locked door with a white light coming from under it
  347. <flibbyjibbits> and nearby, an ajar door that context would indicate is the Z mans room
  348. <Deathfish64> Let's take a peek into big Z's pad
  349. <flibbyjibbits> his sword is laying against the wall, a very fine, very slightly glowing mist rolling off of it. three nearly identical suits of armor stand in the other corners. the "bed" is basically a stack or two or three matresses that have been slashed up and made into basically a heap. theres some chests of stuff around, some open, some closed, a table with a half eaten meal on it, and a barrel of...
  350. <flibbyjibbits> ...small stones (identifiable as the alchemical heatstone- basically it produces a campfire of heat when struck for a few hours)
  351. <CommodoreJim> find his diary
  352. <Deathfish64> Might as well look in the open chests
  353. <Deathfish64> While I'm being extremely nosy
  354. <CommodoreJim> find his diary!!!!
  355. <Deathfish64> I bet that's in a closed chest
  356. <Deathfish64> and ekans does not have any limbs
  357. <Deathfish64> summon your own eidolon with arms and do it yourself
  358. <flibbyjibbits> some of them have more of those heatstones in them. maybe the temperature control is broken in this wing? one had food in it but was recently emptied. still kinda bloody.
  359. <Deathfish64> Oh well. Guess I'm done here.
  360. <flibbyjibbits> actually the "food barrels" look like they basically contain entire deer carcasses
  361. <flibbyjibbits> which is kinda weird i guess
  362. <Deathfish64> yeah
  363. <flibbyjibbits> there is a book that resembles a diary but it has a little wimpy lock on it
  364. <Deathfish64> Not gonna steal it because he'll totally notice
  365. <Deathfish64> Instead, Pikkup will return Ekans to his side with Maker's Call and have him report what was seen/heard
  366. <Deathfish64> and then sleep happens
  367. <Deathfish64> Ekans gets to sleep on the couch as a reward
  368. <Deathfish64> (if eidolons even have a sleep equivalent)
  369. <flibbyjibbits> they do not
  370. <Deathfish64> too bad
  371. <flibbyjibbits> eidolons to not eat drink or sleep
  372. <flibbyjibbits> do*
  373. <Deathfish64> he curls up on the couch regardless
  374. <flibbyjibbits> the wind climbs steadily until around 3 am at which point it shoots up to gale level for a second and then goes silent again
  375. <Deathfish64> stupid dumb indoor wind
  376. <CommodoreJim> :U
  377. <flibbyjibbits> about an hour after sunrise the butler dude comes back and unlocks all the doors, then knocks on them all, then stands at the end of the hallway
  378. <Skeleton> Freddie puts on his boots and slinks out
  379. <Skeleton> "You raaaaaaaang?
  380. <Skeleton> "
  381. <CommodoreJim> Drom clanks out, fully armored. "Hm?"
  382. <Moonside> Lotte mumbles something about how it's still too early, and falls asleep again.
  383. <flibbyjibbits> "There is a breakfast being served to all guests in the east wing."
  384. <Deathfish64> Pikkup dispels ekans and steps out in his usual robe. "Morning."
  385. <Skeleton> somebody grab the T-pose guys
  386. <Skeleton> If they're not too busty SLEEPING TOGETHER
  387. <Skeleton> *busy uh-oh
  388. <flibbyjibbits> Falkan and Idrian step out of their rooms and head down
  389. <Deathfish64> busty raynar
  390. <Skeleton> just make yaio babys already
  391. <Deathfish64> which one gets mpreg
  392. <flibbyjibbits> neither
  393. <CommodoreJim> Raynar because Tombs does the shooting
  394. <CommodoreJim> ;)
  395. <Skeleton> Raynar would be a nurturing mother too
  396. <Skeleton> Dad-mommy I got a boo-boo :<
  397. <Skeleton> 'It's okay I will cure light wounds' *kisses finger*
  398. <Arkay> and then raynar shoots freddie with his crossbow
  399. <Skeleton> Why does everyone punish Freddie for the dumb stuff I say
  400. <Moonside> Because you're comic relief!
  401. <Skeleton> "Where's Witch"
  402. <CommodoreJim> "Probably sleeping. She's not a morning person."
  403. <flibbyjibbits> alright sorr cant stay much longer since at home this weekend
  404. <flibbyjibbits> might as well jst get a better stopping point
  405. <Moonside> Let's rewind to before people woke up.
  406. <flibbyjibbits> as the nice breakfast is served, zulban peeks in a bit but doesn't sit down, and then it gets all windy as the last guest, ralan walks in
  407. <Moonside> omg
  408. <CommodoreJim> omg
  409. <Moonside> Oh yeah, he's a sylph.
  410. <Deathfish64> He's silent but deadly, the Purple Wind
  411. <CommodoreJim> ew
  412. <Moonside> So, stopping now?
  413. <Deathfish64> yeah, sounds fine
