  1. [12:05:31] <Kain> After a pleasant stay at the Lesetiran Inn, you all wake up and breakfast and such... but something is a bit off. No matter where you look, you can't find any sign of Natalie.
  2. [12:05:57] <Kain> Curious. Mr. Prickles is still hanging about, but he doesn't seem to have any idea where she went either.
  3. [12:07:04] : Amaryllis has overturned her room looking in all the usual places, spots where Nat would usually hide her diary, that kind of thing.
  4. [12:07:04] * Celina is probably less bothered about this than she should be.
  5. [12:07:08] <Kain> If Ammy checks her room, all of her stuff seems to be missing. The things SHE carried, anyway.
  6. [12:07:22] <Kain> Diary is gone.
  7. [12:07:41] <Theta> "Curious, but not necisarily alarming, I suppose."
  8. [12:09:01] <Kain> It's pretty much like she just up and left before you got up. But why would...
  9. [12:09:04] <Theta> "Maybe she headed off before we awoke toward our intended destination?"
  10. [12:10:00] <Amaryllis> "Bloody hell..." Ammy rushes through one last check of the room before setting off to find the town guard and inquire about any departing travelers, barely taking the time to mutter a quick explanation to her companions on the way out the door.
  11. [12:10:21] <Kain> You almost slam right into Ricard as you leave in the inn.
  12. [12:10:39] <Kain> He almost doesn't even notice you, looking worried and preoccupied, but when he does, it's like a light goes off in his head.
  13. [12:11:00] <Kain> Ricard: "Oh! You're up. There's something I need to speak with you about."
  14. [12:11:16] <Amaryllis> "Ricard! Where has Nat gone off to?" Her voice lacks any of the usual demure formality.
  15. [12:12:06] <Celina> "Sounds ominous."
  16. [12:12:15] <Kain> Ricard: "She left this morning, telling me to let you all know she'd 'gone on ahead'. ...god dammit, I felt terrible about letting a kid just wander out of town like that to wherever your group is heading, but strictly speaking I'm not allowed to detain travelers in the city without a warrant."
  17. [12:12:50] <Kain> Ricard: "This is my fault... I should have come and woken you up as she was going."
  18. [12:12:52] <Amaryllis> "And you did not think to wake us?"
  19. [12:13:05] <Celina> "By the time he did, she'd have been gone anyway."
  20. [12:13:41] * Theta pounds a fist to a palm. "Ah, my guess was correct, then."
  21. [12:13:42] : Amaryllis sighs and looks out over the town. "That is true. It is how such stories go..."
  22. [12:13:47] <Kain> Ricard: "I'm sorry for the trouble. Listen, she headed north, towards Seaways Canyon. It couldn't have been more than an hour ago."
  23. [12:14:15] <Celina> "Thank you, Sir Highwind. I appreciate the trouble you've taken for us."
  24. [12:14:33] <Kain> Ricard: "On the contrary, I've caused you more trouble than I've taken at this rate."
  25. [12:14:44] <Kain> Ricard gives a solemn sort of half bow. "I apologize."
  26. [12:15:11] <Kain> Ricard: "Good luck in finding her. If something were to happen that I could have prevented, I don't think I would be able to bear the shame."
  27. [12:16:24] <Celina> "You are not the one who told her to go running off on her own in unknown territory like a fool, Sir Highwind."
  28. [12:17:05] <Amaryllis> "Does this town keep chocobos? What would it cost to requisition some?" Ammy is running through her options in her head.
  29. [12:17:11] <Kain> Ricard: "But if I could have prevented it... ah but listen to me. You won't catch her if I keep delaying you. I'll be happy to escort you to the gates immediately, provided you're prepared for the road."
  30. [12:17:27] <Kain> Ricard: "Sadly, we don't. They don't take to the wind around here well."
  31. [12:17:40] <Kain> Ricard: "It's far too strong for their lightweight bodies."
  32. [12:17:58] * Celina leaps upstairs to grab her things.
  33. [12:18:31] <Amaryllis> "Of course." Amaryllis frowns and starts off toward the gates. "I am ready. Please do not take too long with your preparations." She gives a nervous nod toward the others.
  34. [12:19:03] <Amaryllis> (how are we playing things with Lenore? silent following puppet? or will she catch up with us once Aori arrives?)
  35. [12:19:15] <Kain> (Lenore is following around at the moment)
  36. [12:19:22] <Kain> (Probably)
  37. [12:19:27] <Kain> (I'll let Aori decide)
  38. [12:20:15] <Theta> "I would be left to assume she headed to the location we discussed previously. So, with luck we will find her on our way."
  39. [12:20:34] * Theta goes to gather his things and make preperation for departure.
  40. [12:20:42] * Celina is downstairs again almost instantly. The benefits of being po- er, packing light.
  41. [12:20:50] : Amaryllis looks to Theta, staring a few seconds, then looks back over the landscape with a small nod.
  42. [12:21:04] * Celina checks the map for Seaways Canyon.
  43. [12:22:06] <Kain> Seaways Canyon is the a good bit of the south and mid continent, it seems, a veritable maze of rocky walls that twist and turn, leading around to Oeilvert and north to Durandal, Ipsen's Castle, and a Qu's Marsh.
  44. [12:22:26] <Kain> You can even see the beginnings of it from the edge of town as Ricard escorts the lot of you to the gates.
  45. [12:22:46] <Kain> You think it pretty unlikely she went to Oeilvert by herself
  46. [12:22:56] <Celina> "Are we to assume she headed towards-"
  47. [12:23:03] <Celina> (gee thanks kain I was about to say that :B)
  48. [12:23:10] <Kain> (:3c Sorry, go ahead)
  49. [12:24:19] <Celina> (:3c)
  50. [12:24:29] <Theta> "Hrm, miserable place to end up lost in, from the looks of it."
  51. [12:24:34] <Amaryllis> 'Ipsen's Castle' Ammy's lips trace the words silently. With a frustrated groan, she reaches into her bag and removes the bottle of whiskey, taking a swig before proceeding, at a much quicker pace than her usual shuffle.
  52. [12:25:08] <Celina> "Are we to assume she headed towards Ipsen's Castle? After all, I find it hard to believe that even she would be so idi- er, reckless as to head for the land where magic dies on her own."
  53. [12:26:29] <Theta> "Well, the marsh does not seem very likely to me so..."
  54. [12:26:35] <Theta> "I suppose that is a fair guess as any."
  55. [12:28:12] <Celina> "Onward, then."
  56. [12:28:16] <Kain> It's a quick, brisk walk as you bid goodbye to Gusty Valley, and soon end up at the entrance to the canyon. The walls of the canyon rise hundreds of feet overhead, Rocs looking down at you from above like kings overseeing their subjects from their castle's highest tower. Luckily none of them seem to be in a confrontational mood. You notice something a tad off as you enter the canyon, though,
  57. [12:28:16] * Celina sets forth!
  58. [12:28:17] <Kain> well, two things. The first and most immediate thing is that there's a guard outpost at the entrance here. No gate, it doesn't seem to be for blocking travel or collecting tolls or anything, but a burmecian woman in full Lesetiran armor sits watch at the post, her ponytail swaying behind her as the wind passes occasionally. Her grey eyes seem sharp and focused, and she nods in realization as
  59. [12:28:17] <Kain> your group approaches.
  60. [12:29:37] <Kain> Guard: "My guess is you're after the teenage girl that came running through here like the hounds of Hades were behind her or something."
  61. [12:29:39] <Amaryllis> "We seek a young noble girl who was said to pass this way. Have you seen her?" Ammy calls out.
  62. [12:29:52] * Theta just waves moronically :D
  63. [12:29:54] <Kain> Guard: "Yep, thought so."
  64. [12:30:01] <Kain> The guard waves back, friendly enough.
  65. [12:30:27] <Celina> "How long ago?"
  66. [12:31:24] <Kain> Guard: "You're headed the right way then, but I recommend you staying and listening a moment. Hm, was about a half hour ago, I think? But you should hear what I have to say. I didn't have time to stop the girl, but I'm going to damn well make sure the rest of you are prepared for what lies ahead."
  67. [12:31:42] <Kain> She steps out of the guard post, motioning for you to follow.
  68. [12:31:44] <Celina> "...Go on."
  69. [12:33:38] : Amaryllis stares up at the high canyon walls, half-heartedly scribbling in her journal before following. "I apologize for what trouble the good lady has caused." She mutters to Celina and Theta (and Lenore).
  70. [12:33:57] * Celina follows the guard.
  71. [12:34:23] <Kain> As you round the curve of the canyon, you see a couple of peculiar sights. The first is some sort of giant windmill spinning ludicrously rapidly, creating a breeze of its own accord rather being powered by one. It's pointed to the west from what you can tell. To the west is a path that seems to curve around, you can't see quite where it's heading. To the northeast is a path that leads through...
  72. [12:34:23] <Kain> what are those. Some sort of flowers are in the middle of the pathway, and a purplish haze seems to float in the air above the ground, from a few inches over to about six feet up.
  73. [12:34:40] <Kain> "The canyon is dangerous at this time of year. It's Ochulip season."
  74. [12:34:51] <Celina> "What is that fog?"
  75. [12:35:52] * Theta shrugs to Ammy's comment. "It is not like it has lead us astray, not that troublesome for US as much as herself, I suppose."
  76. [12:35:56] <Amaryllis> "I've not heard tale of such plants before."
  77. [12:37:04] <Kain> Guard: "Getting to that. Ochulips are weird little flowers that look like tulips, they're what you see under the purple stuff there. Speaking of which, those are poisonous spores, you'd do well not to breathe it in. Ochulips produce a few different variety of spores, all bad. And they're an invasive menace, too, they breed all over during this time of year. Worst thing about it is that they
  78. [12:37:04] <Kain> eventually mature into monsters, called Ochu."
  79. [12:38:05] <Theta> "I suppose the windmill is to help disperse the purple haze."
  80. [12:38:08] <Kain> Guard: "It's pretty much impossible to get rid of all of them, best thing we've been able to do is set up this guard post and make sure no ochus head toward the city. The wind shrine keeps ochulip seeds away from Lesetira proper at least."
  81. [12:38:29] <Kain> Guard: "Yep. The plants can pop up anywhere so the fans are set to turn. You have to operate them via lever."
  82. [12:38:58] <Kain> Guard: "The lever for that one's around the bend," she says, pointing to the curved path.
  83. [12:39:35] <Kain> Guard: "Hell of a system, really, apparently there's an underground river they use for power, and... well hell, that's not important. I'm sure you lot have bigger things on your mind."
  84. [12:40:00] <Kain> Guard: "I've said all I can, just be prepared for all kinds of wicked ailments if you get hit by those spores or the creatures 'round here."
  85. [12:40:47] <Kain> Guard: "Good luck. I gotta stay here."
  86. [12:41:05] <Kain> The guard turns and starts to head back to her post.
  87. [12:41:20] * Celina squints at the windmill in the distance
  88. [12:41:37] : Amaryllis turns her gaze down the western path. Does it seem like the wind is currently dispersing spores in that direction?
  89. [12:41:37] <Kain> It's not pointed in the right direction at the moment, that's for sure.
  90. [12:41:51] <Celina> (I think we might need to see the map of this V:)
  91. [12:42:06] <Amaryllis> (oh so it's not like we'll get the western path clogged by spores if we turn the windmill then?)
  92. [12:42:10] <Kain> (Well okaaaaay
  93. [12:42:10] <Theta> (Yeah sorta confusing where is what.)
  94. [12:42:39] <Amaryllis> (I just sort of make a small sketch for myself when this happens and hope it's sort of correct :V)
  95. [12:42:47] <Kain> I guess I can show you the map but I'm not happy with it because it has chest locations on it
  96. [12:43:02] <Kain> http://i.imgur.com/PsNmr.jpg
  97. [12:43:04] <Amaryllis> (I think you could remove those or something)
  98. [12:43:07] <Amaryllis> (or...okay)
  99. [12:43:28] <Kain> You also see an underpass heading from the main road to under the path where the spores are, you're not sure where those lead.
  100. [12:44:16] <Kain> You guys are at the far left
  101. [12:44:20] <Celina> "So I guess first we flip the switch here?"
  102. [12:44:36] <Kain> (well the southwest rather, the entrance)
  103. [12:44:38] <Celina> "Though I suppose I could just go on ahead and see if she's passed out somewhere from above..."
  104. [12:44:54] <Theta> "Curious"
  105. [12:45:06] <Theta> "How did she get past here if it's blowing the wrong way...no matter,I'll go trip the switch."
  106. [12:45:12] <Theta> He heads down the northwest bend!
  107. [12:45:14] <Kain> Prickles: "Ochu... this isn't going to be pleasant."
  108. [12:45:30] <Celina> "Probably one switch can be used to move multiple mills."
  109. [12:45:44] <Amaryllis> "What do you know of the creatures?" squibble squab squee
  110. [12:45:57] * Celina jumps into the air and uses the advantage of height to glance over the area as best she can!
  111. [12:46:25] <Kain> Prickles: "Their attacks sap the body and full grown they're a colony-destroying menace."
  112. [12:46:31] <Kain> You'll have to Monster Lore to get more than that.
  113. [12:46:46] <Kain> You get a decent eyeful of the area, Celina, but you don't see Nat.
  114. [12:46:57] <Amaryllis> 2d6 what am monsters?
  115. [12:46:59] <DiceMaid-9001> Amaryllis, what am monsters?: 7 [2d6=6,1]
  116. [12:47:02] <Celina> "...Nothing."
  117. [12:47:07] <Theta> 2d6+3 I can does that. maybe.
  118. [12:47:07] <Celina> "Sorry, Miss Amaryllis."
  119. [12:47:08] <DiceMaid-9001> Theta, I can does that. maybe.: 12 [2d6=5,4]
  120. [12:47:12] <Celina> "We'd best hurry through."
  121. [12:47:19] <Celina> 2d6 derp
  122. [12:47:19] <DiceMaid-9001> Celina, derp: 10 [2d6=4,6]
  123. [12:48:05] : Amaryllis deflates at Celina's words, eyes flitting toward the bottle again. "We shall wait for you to trigger the switch then Theta."
  124. [12:48:23] <Kain> Celina and Theta know a little bit about Ochus! They're capable of poisoning and confusing their enemies, a nasty combination. Usually do it to prey before devouring them. Theta knows that their young, microchus like to roam around in small bands.
  125. [12:48:35] <Celina> (>microchus)
  126. [12:48:41] <Celina> (not sure if adorable)
  127. [12:48:44] <Kain> (That's the name FF13 gave them :3c)
  128. [12:49:01] <Theta> (They are slightly adorable.)
  129. [12:49:22] <Amaryllis> (I just googled it and this is the farthest thing from adorable)
  130. [12:50:15] <Kain> Speaking of monsters, as theta turns the corner... two large lizard creatures skulk out from beneath dark rocks. They have huge bug eyes, six legs, the back two of which are bent like grasshopper legs, cat-like ears, and tongues flicking in and out of their mouths.
  131. [12:51:55] <Theta> "Uhm, excuse me, Miss Middleton and Miss Mirach, I believe I will need assistance with this!" He draws his sword and stays his ground, watching the two creatures carefully.
  132. [12:51:58] <Kain> The basilisks get ready to attack!
  133. [12:52:06] <Kain> COMBAT
  134. [12:52:32] <Kain> Party's turns!
  135. [12:52:35] <Kain> Amaryllis!
  136. [12:52:48] <Amaryllis> 2d6+3 she's stabbin a mofo
  137. [12:52:50] <DiceMaid-9001> Amaryllis, she's stabbin a mofo: 12 [2d6=6,3]
  138. [12:53:33] <Amaryllis> 35 I think I can math
  139. [12:54:02] * DiceMaid-9001 is now known as RichterBelmont
  140. [12:54:03] <Amaryllis> It's kind of awkward, trying to stab with the brute sword, but she still seems used to handling a knife instead.
  141. [12:54:12] <Kain> You stab the creature as it hisses at you!
  142. [12:54:15] <Kain> 1d4 counterattack?
  143. [12:54:16] <RichterBelmont> Kain, counterattack?: 1 [1d4=1]
  144. [12:54:19] <Kain> No counterattack
  145. [12:54:34] <Kain> Celina!
  146. [12:54:37] * RichterBelmont is now known as DiceMaid-9001
  147. [12:54:38] * Celina jumps into the air!
  148. [12:54:44] <Kain> Theta!
  149. [12:55:46] <Theta> Theta just goes to slice at the one Ammy struck!
  150. [12:55:51] <Theta> 2d6+2
  151. [12:55:52] <DiceMaid-9001> Theta, 2d6+2: 13 [2d6=6,5]
  152. [12:56:00] <Kain> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=194sC97N1Ho Here have some battle music
  153. [12:56:03] <Kain> Hit!
  154. [12:56:04] <Theta> 33 damage.
  155. [12:56:09] <Kain> 1d4
  156. [12:56:11] <DiceMaid-9001> Kain, 1d4: 4 [1d4=4]
  157. [12:56:27] <Kain> As the creature takes a grevious wound, it leaps forward and tries to strike you with one of its claws!
  158. [12:56:52] <Kain> 2d6+2
  159. [12:56:52] <DiceMaid-9001> Kain, 2d6+2: 8 [2d6=3,3]
  160. [12:57:21] <Theta> (My AVD is 8 so pretty sure that hits.)
  161. [12:57:22] <Kain> 8 hit?
  162. [12:57:28] <Kain> 18 damage aaaand
  163. [12:57:28] <Kain> 1d4
  164. [12:57:29] <DiceMaid-9001> Kain, 1d4: 3 [1d4=3]
  165. [12:57:34] <Kain> No petrification
  166. [12:57:39] <Kain> Enemy turns!
  167. [12:57:57] <Kain> The same basilisk leaps at Theta again, trying to pour on the attack!
  168. [12:58:02] <Kain> 2d6+2
  169. [12:58:02] <DiceMaid-9001> Kain, 2d6+2: 6 [2d6=1,3]
  170. [12:58:11] <Kain> But misses in its furious rage. The other goes for Ammy!
  171. [12:58:13] <Kain> 2d6+2
  172. [12:58:13] <DiceMaid-9001> Kain, 2d6+2: 6 [2d6=3,1]
  173. [12:58:17] <Theta> Miss! Theta seems to recover some from the previous blow!
  174. [12:58:30] <Kain> what am dodge
  175. [12:58:39] <Kain> 16 arm damage and
  176. [12:58:40] <Kain> 1d4
  177. [12:58:40] <DiceMaid-9001> Kain, 1d4: 1 [1d4=1]
  178. [12:58:45] <Kain> no petrification
  179. [12:59:02] <Kain> Ha, these things aren't so rough.
  180. [12:59:09] <Kain> (No seriously low finesse monsters are a joke)
  181. [12:59:25] <Kain> Ammy!
  182. [12:59:50] : Amaryllis drags the sword along the ground and lifts it up for a proper swing this time, same target
  183. [12:59:53] <Amaryllis> 2d6+3
  184. [12:59:55] <DiceMaid-9001> Amaryllis, 2d6+3: 7 [2d6=2,2]
  185. [12:59:59] <Kain> hit!
  186. [13:00:07] <Amaryllis> 30 damage!
  187. [13:00:12] <Kain> they also aren't very good at dodging
  188. [13:00:13] <Kain> 1d4
  189. [13:00:13] <DiceMaid-9001> Kain, 1d4: 2 [1d4=2]
  190. [13:00:17] <Kain> or counterattacking
  191. [13:00:39] <Celina> Are they good at being within a short range of each other?
  192. [13:00:42] <Kain> the creature backs up a little, breathing harder.
  193. [13:00:47] <Kain> Yeah, they're in a short range.
  194. [13:00:49] <Kain> Go for it
  195. [13:00:57] <Celina> 2d6+3 YEEEHAW MOTHERFUCKERS
  196. [13:00:57] <DiceMaid-9001> Celina, YEEEHAW MOTHERFUCKERS: 9 [2d6=3,3]
  197. [13:01:12] <Celina> 28 damage to each
  198. [13:02:36] <Kain> Oh wow
  199. [13:02:53] <Kain> The dragoon comes down with a graceful display! That lashknife was money well spent.
  200. [13:03:07] <Celina> (damn straight it was)
  201. [13:03:10] <Kain> Theta?
  202. [13:03:52] <Theta> Theta stabs the ground, "Spirits of the canyon, shake things up a bit!" (Pretty sure this counts as mountain, after all.)
  203. [13:04:03] <Theta> 2d6+2 acc roll!
  204. [13:04:04] <DiceMaid-9001> Theta, acc roll!: 7 [2d6=4,1]
  205. [13:04:28] <Kain> Hit!
  206. [13:05:20] <Theta> (huh really.)
  207. [13:05:27] <Amaryllis> (yeah my 7 hit as well above)
  208. [13:05:38] <Theta> 15 earth damage to both of them.
  209. [13:05:45] <Kain> They only have 6 avd
  210. [13:06:04] <Theta> (Sadly my geomancery doesn't pick up steam till level 4.)
  211. [13:06:07] <Kain> Rocks crash down from the upper parts of the canyon!
  212. [13:06:31] <Kain> Not the most powerful attack, but it weakens them.
  213. [13:06:41] <Kain> And I don't think they can counter that
  214. [13:06:43] <Theta> (Offensively, at least. The defensive uses are pretty jawesome.)
  215. [13:06:44] <Kain> so their turns again
  216. [13:06:50] <Kain> and a double attack on Celina!
  217. [13:06:55] <Kain> 2#2d6+2
  218. [13:06:56] <DiceMaid-9001> Kain, 2#2d6+2: 12 [2d6=6,4], 7 [2d6=1,4]
  219. [13:07:05] <Celina> hit miss
  220. [13:07:18] <Kain> 1d4
  221. [13:07:19] <DiceMaid-9001> Kain, 1d4: 3 [1d4=3]
  222. [13:07:28] <Kain> No petrification, buuut 22 arm damage
  223. [13:07:40] <Celina> ow
  224. [13:07:40] <Celina> got it
  225. [13:07:53] <Kain> The basilisk claws madly at you, trying to find a soft spot in your armor.
  226. [13:08:12] <Kain> The other just flails about uselessly.
  227. [13:08:14] <Kain> Ammy!
  228. [13:08:29] * Celina 's armor, being leather, is mostly soft spots!
  229. [13:08:30] : Amaryllis hefts the sword again, going for another awkward stab at the same foe
  230. [13:08:31] <Amaryllis> 2d6+3
  231. [13:08:32] <DiceMaid-9001> Amaryllis, 2d6+3: 10 [2d6=5,2]
  232. [13:08:42] <Amaryllis> 33 damage
  233. [13:09:12] <Kain> These awkward stabs are pretty damn powerful, and this one finally kills this foe you've been wailing on.
  234. [13:09:29] <Kain> The other one is still in pretty good health. Celina?
  235. [13:09:34] * Celina takes a deep breath and blaaaaaaaaaaaaaars fire all over the other one.
  236. [13:09:37] <Celina> 2d6+3
  237. [13:09:39] <DiceMaid-9001> Celina, 2d6+3: 13 [2d6=6,4]

  242. [13:09:57] <DiceMaid-9001> Kain, but they have an excellent force score: 10 [2d6=1,3]

  246. [13:10:24] <Celina> oh well
  247. [13:10:25] <Celina> no blind
  248. [13:10:41] <Theta> (Can I use plains geotrance due to the windmills?)
  249. [13:10:55] <Kain> Their magicial defenses seem to be a bit weaker but not by much. And sure!
  250. [13:11:10] <Theta> Theta then holds his sword to the sky, "Winds protect us!"
  251. [13:11:28] <Theta> 2d6+3 everyone gets healed THIS MUCH. blame this half level thing :<
  252. [13:11:29] <DiceMaid-9001> Theta, everyone gets healed THIS MUCH. blame this half level thing :<: 9 [2d6=1,5]
  253. [13:11:48] <Kain> Theta is the dedicated healer of the group
  254. [13:11:50] <Kain> you saw it here first
  255. [13:12:12] <Kain> 2d6+2 at ammy
  256. [13:12:12] <DiceMaid-9001> Kain, at ammy: 10 [2d6=4,4]
  257. [13:12:15] <Amaryllis> "Thank you Sir Theta."
  258. [13:12:24] <Kain> 20 arm damage and
  259. [13:12:25] <Kain> 1d4
  260. [13:12:26] <DiceMaid-9001> Kain, 1d4: 2 [1d4=2]
  261. [13:12:32] <Kain> no petrification
  262. [13:12:35] <Kain> Go ammy! brb pee
  263. [13:13:05] : Amaryllis swings her sword around in retaliation at the thing
  264. [13:13:07] <Amaryllis> 2d6+3
  265. [13:13:08] <DiceMaid-9001> Amaryllis, 2d6+3: 11 [2d6=2,6]
  266. [13:13:19] <Amaryllis> 34
  267. [13:13:44] <Kain> Wham!
  268. [13:14:09] <Kain> The blade sinks deep into flesh. Not as familiar as a chef's knife but it will do for carving this meat.
  269. [13:14:12] <Kain> Celina?
  270. [13:14:23] <Amaryllis> (no counterattack chance?)
  271. [13:14:55] <Celina> 2d6+3
  272. [13:14:55] <DiceMaid-9001> Celina, 2d6+3: 11 [2d6=2,6]

  274. [13:15:24] <Celina> 26 damage and
  275. [13:15:31] <Theta> (You know, this is a dumb question, but did we ever get a shopping list for this town?)
  276. [13:15:57] <Kain> (don't think so, and that was my fault)
  277. [13:16:08] <Celina> 2d6+4 opposed finesse :3c
  278. [13:16:09] <DiceMaid-9001> Celina, opposed finesse :3c: 11 [2d6=6,1]

  280. [13:16:11] <DiceMaid-9001> Kain, 2d6+1: 11 [2d6=4,6]
  281. [13:16:15] <Kain> tie, you win
  282. [13:16:17] <Kain> confus
  283. [13:16:20] <Kain> theta!
  284. [13:16:27] <Theta> 2d6+3 moar wind healan
  285. [13:16:28] <DiceMaid-9001> Theta, moar wind healan: 14 [2d6=5,6]
  286. [13:16:37] <Kain> 1d6
  287. [13:16:37] <DiceMaid-9001> Kain, 1d6: 5 [1d6=5]
  288. [13:16:40] <Kain> acts normal
  289. [13:16:44] <Kain> 2d6+2 at Celina
  290. [13:16:45] <DiceMaid-9001> Kain, at Celina: 14 [2d6=6,6]
  291. [13:16:48] <Celina> ow
  292. [13:16:50] <Amaryllis> (ow)
  293. [13:16:57] <Kain> 1d4
  294. [13:16:57] <DiceMaid-9001> Kain, 1d4: 1 [1d4=1]
  295. [13:17:18] <Kain> So I think that's 48 arm damage jesus christ
  296. [13:17:24] <Celina> I am
  297. [13:17:27] <Celina> just barely still up
  298. [13:17:31] <Celina> wait
  299. [13:17:32] <Celina> no I'm not
  300. [13:17:35] <Theta> (aw :C)
  301. [13:17:39] <Kain> you got healed, are you sure?
  302. [13:17:43] <Theta> (YAY I WAS USE- oh wait.)
  303. [13:17:48] <Celina> I have 44 hp and 4 arm
  304. [13:17:57] <Celina> pretty sure :c
  305. [13:18:24] <Kain> Celina collapses to one knee, noit quite unconscious but not able to continue fighting at the moment either.
  306. [13:18:36] <Kain> Ammy!
  307. [13:18:40] : Amaryllis backs up a bit and swings her sword off to the side, shadowy wisps of energy pouring into the blade. "Lady Celina!" She swipes at the basilisk from afar, launching a blade of shadow.
  308. [13:18:47] <Amaryllis> 2d6+3 night sword don't fuck me on this dicemaid
  309. [13:18:48] <DiceMaid-9001> Amaryllis, night sword don't fuck me on this dicemaid: 14 [2d6=5,6]
  310. [13:19:16] <Amaryllis> For a crit do you double after or before adding the dice amount?
  311. [13:19:28] <Kain> after
  312. [13:19:30] <Celina> after
  313. [13:19:33] <Celina> just straight up 200% damage
  314. [13:19:34] <Amaryllis> 74 damage
  315. [13:19:43] <Kain> You do crits on 11?
  316. [13:19:46] <Celina> (also your weapon is reach?)
  317. [13:19:48] <Amaryllis> Night Sword grants lucky
  318. [13:19:52] <Kain> Oh cool
  319. [13:19:53] <Celina> oohhhh
  320. [13:20:00] <Kain> Yeah that fucker's down
  321. [13:20:12] <Kain> You unleash the DARKNESS EVERYBODY, DARKNESS and it sort of just rips apart.
  322. [13:20:20] <Amaryllis> Annnnd yummy HP drain. Ammy is restored by the DARKNESS.
  323. [13:20:29] <Celina> "Amazing, Miss...Amaryll...is..."
  324. [13:20:33] * Celina flops over. NAPTIME
  325. [13:20:34] <Kain> Celina manages to find strength to stand to her feet again.
  326. [13:20:36] <Kain> Or not
  327. [13:20:37] * Theta continues the healing wind channeling until Celina is feeling a bit more shipshape.
  328. [13:20:45] * Celina then gets up again thanks to HEALING and NAPTIME
  329. [13:20:51] <Kain> Hurray not having the white mage in the party
  330. [13:21:01] <Celina> "....Well. I suppose I had best be more cautious in the future."
  331. [13:21:03] : Amaryllis shuffles over to help her up. "Are you okay?"
  332. [13:21:16] <Celina> "Well enough to continue."
  333. [13:21:42] * Theta eventually sheaths his blade again. "Well, that is another upside of the windmills, I suppose."
  334. [13:22:18] <Celina> (since his trances don't cost MP, couldn't he just heal us to full after every battle?)
  335. [13:22:40] <Kain> (Pretty much, and that's what Nat would do anyway)
  336. [13:22:42] <Amaryllis> (well, he'd need the right terrains)
  337. [13:22:49] <Celina> (you mean like these :3)
  338. [13:22:52] <Theta> (Well the windmills make it very doable.)
  339. [13:23:10] <Theta> "Wind spirits are very easy to oblige to lift someone up, given their nature."
  340. [13:23:13] <Theta> "Anyway, this switch..."
  341. [13:23:20] <Kain> You turn the corner and find the lever easily enough. You hear the sound of shifting and mechanical clanks back the way you came.
  342. [13:23:29] <Celina> "And back we go."
  343. [13:23:47] <Amaryllis> "Worry not Celina, your abilities are quite remarkable as well. I have been on the other side of this situation more than few times since we first met."
  344. [13:24:19] * Isabella_ (DDK@sux-D1F4A176.jan.bellsouth.net) has joined #kaingame
  345. [13:24:23] <Amaryllis> "And Theta, I am not sure I quite understand the difference between the power you wield and magic."
  346. [13:24:41] <Isabella_> !dm9001 lastlines #10
  347. [13:25:07] <Celina> "Probably some Black Mage trick." Celina thankfully sounds more curious than angry.
  348. [13:25:17] * Isabella_ is now known as Kaingaskhan
  349. [13:26:10] <Kaingaskhan> Rounding the corner again, the windmill is turned towards the northeast and blowing the spores up and strangely higher than you'd think, sailing above the canyon walls.
  350. [13:26:28] * Celina curses under her breath. So much for jumping her way to victory.
  351. [13:26:32] * Kain (DDK@sux-C2B7D761.jan.bellsouth.net) Quit (Ping timeout)
  352. [13:26:36] <Theta> "It's not exactly magic, in the sense you think. It's less something I do, and more the spirits of the land."
  353. [13:27:03] <Kaingaskhan> Now that the path is nicer and clear, and we have established that yes, windmills work that way, you find yourselves unhindered in moving on, though there is that path that leads lower. Hm.
  354. [13:27:20] <Kaingaskhan> (Look at the map if you're confused on anything)
  355. [13:27:21] <Amaryllis> "I hope our actions do not impede some unfortunate traveler, traversing the canyon from high above." Ammy stops to stare at the spores for a few seconds before remembering the situation and rushing forward in a half-panicked daze.
  356. [13:27:40] <Theta> "To be quite honest I'm not quite sure I understand it well myself. Nature Spirits just seem to like me," he shrugs. "Never had an actual teacher for it."
  357. [13:27:59] <Kaingaskhan> liar liar pants on fire, the shoopuff was your beloved mentor and you killed it
  358. [13:27:59] <Celina> "Is it even possible to get up there?"
  359. [13:28:08] * Celina squints and oh noes theta is horrible ;~;
  360. [13:28:55] <Theta> That doesn't even make sense narrorator in the sky.
  361. [13:28:57] <Kaingaskhan> In any case, taking the path beyond the flowers...
  362. [13:28:59] : Amaryllis kinda rudely zips off while Theta is still explaining, giving a hurried apologetic wave a few steps in.
  363. [13:29:31] * Theta okay.jpg's and drudges along, keeping an eye out for microchus.
  364. [13:30:21] <Kaingaskhan> You turn a sharp corner in a narrow passage of the canyon and emerge into a larger area. To the north and south you see areas full of more of those accursed flowers and their purple spores, as well as a windmill uselessly blowing east. Speaking of east, past the windmill is a bridge crossing a small ravine. Or WAS a bridge, it seems to be broken now.
  365. [13:30:57] <Kaingaskhan> At least the lever for this windmill is almost right next to it, the only question is where to go from here.
  366. [13:31:28] <Kaingaskhan> The path north seems to lead on a path up to a higher elevation. You can't really see much up there except for a large rock on the edge of the cliff.
  367. [13:31:33] <Celina> (there was a bridge here. it's gone now.)
  368. [13:31:53] <Kaingaskhan> Awareness for me
  369. [13:32:17] <Amaryllis> "I apologize Theta. I value your story, but the situation impedes my focus." Ammy goes for the lever.
  370. [13:32:29] <Amaryllis> 2d6+3 awareness
  371. [13:32:30] <DiceMaid-9001> Amaryllis, awareness: 14 [2d6=5,6]
  372. [13:32:37] <Celina> 2d6+2 I'm aware!
  373. [13:32:38] <DiceMaid-9001> Celina, I'm aware!: 4 [2d6=1,1]
  374. [13:32:43] <Celina> I'M NOT AWARE
  375. [13:32:47] <Celina> that's a complication 3:
  376. [13:32:48] <Amaryllis> (CELINA FALLS OFF THE CLIFF)
  377. [13:33:28] <Kaingaskhan> Ammy spots a tiny scrap of cloth on one of the bridge splinters, immediately recognizing it as one of Nat's countless ribbons
  378. [13:33:47] <Kaingaskhan> She also notices some rather large reptillian scales at the bottom of the ravine, but no blood anywhere.
  379. [13:33:52] <Kaingaskhan> No signs of struggle, even.
  380. [13:33:55] <Theta> 2d6+3 oops
  381. [13:33:55] <DiceMaid-9001> Theta, oops: 11 [2d6=3,5]
  382. [13:34:10] <Theta> (sorry adding the geotrance table to my sheet which requires a ton of editing due to the pdf's copy paste being dumb)
  383. [13:34:11] <Kaingaskhan> Theta notices that boulder on the cliff is a bit loose, hm...
  384. [13:34:20] : Amaryllis pockets the scrap of cloth wordlessly and stares down at the ravine.
  385. [13:34:31] <Amaryllis> (know that feel zoof, know it so well)
  386. [13:35:03] * KamenWriter_ (IceChat77@49135105.6CBB7B5.84EE55E8.IP) Quit (Ping timeout)
  387. [13:35:09] * KamenWriter_ (IceChat77@49135105.6CBB7B5.84EE55E8.IP) has joined #kaingame
  388. [13:35:12] * Theta points at the boulder. "Just me or does that appear to may be a trap?"
  389. [13:35:22] <Kaingaskhan> Ammy - it seems something... snakelike came out of the ravine and headed east, you can see the trail it slithered in the sand.
  390. [13:35:28] <Kaingaskhan> That must be one massive serpent.
  391. [13:36:22] <Celina> "Huh?"
  392. [13:36:30] <Celina> Celina is clearly not paying attention.
  393. [13:36:39] : Amaryllis breaks out of her reverie and stares at where Theta's pointing. "...We should be careful how we aim the windmill then."
  394. [13:38:28] <Theta> "Well..." How big is this boulder, exactly, compared to the gap in the ravine?
  395. [13:38:51] <Kaingaskhan> That sure is a dancing baby marlboro on a ledge up there.
  396. [13:38:55] <Kaingaskhan> Pretty distracting.
  397. [13:38:59] <Kaingaskhan> As for the boulder... huh
  398. [13:39:02] <Kaingaskhan> Looks like a perfect fit.
  399. [13:39:15] <Theta> "On the contrary, we should maybe try to knock it down."
  400. [13:39:15] <Kaingaskhan> convenience
  401. [13:39:31] <Theta> "But there's Malboro up there, a young one, but still."
  402. [13:39:36] <Kaingaskhan> Oh no
  403. [13:39:44] <Kaingaskhan> the malboro isn't on THAT ledge
  404. [13:39:46] * Celina leaps up after the malboro. MUST RESCUE.
  405. [13:39:50] <Amaryllis> "Perhaps. Let us explore the two paths first." Ammy gestures to the miasma.
  406. [13:39:52] <Kaingaskhan> it's on some ledge all the way the fuck up there.
  407. [13:40:08] <Kaingaskhan> Oh hey Celina's on the case doing the important stuff.
  408. [13:40:57] <Kaingaskhan> The creature squeaks in surprise as you land on the cliff next to it. Its sharp teeth look fairly intimidating, but it stares at you with hundreds of eyes in curiosity. And-oh god its breath is FOUL
  409. [13:41:00] <Kaingaskhan> what do?
  410. [13:41:09] : Amaryllis pulls the lever. Is it a binary thing, or are there several positions the lever could be in? Either way, Ammy pulls it to the next position.
  411. [13:41:14] * Celina whimpers, mostly. OH GOD SENSITIVE RAT NOSES
  412. [13:41:39] <Kaingaskhan> This windmill seems to have several positions due to the larger area. East, south, north, and west.
  413. [13:41:55] <Kaingaskhan> southwest rather than south
  414. [13:42:10] : Amaryllis turns it clockwise whatever that gets it to.
  415. [13:42:23] <Kaingaskhan> As you switch between the positions, it turns southward, blowing away spores and revealing a chest of some sort.
  416. [13:42:53] <Kaingaskhan> The baby malboro looks up at you Celina, what do?
  417. [13:43:12] <Kaingaskhan> It does seem to be stuck on the ledge
  418. [13:43:35] : Amaryllis looks up. Burmecian is occupied with marlboro. She shrugs and waves to Theta, pointing at the chest.
  419. [13:43:45] <Celina> "W-what are you doing up here?" Celina clumsily covers her nose with one hand and reaches for the little guy with the other. If she manages to grab on, she'll jump down and let the little guy run off.
  420. [13:44:08] <Theta> "Hrm, interesting," he walks over to it.
  421. [13:44:09] <Kaingaskhan> It doesn't seem to complain as you grab it. It even squeaks a little 'wheeeeeee' as you sail down to the ground.
  422. [13:44:18] <Celina> "Got it!"
  423. [13:44:19] <Kaingaskhan> Getting back to you in a moment, Celina, theta first
  424. [13:44:29] <Celina> (a'ight :>)
  425. [13:44:31] <Kaingaskhan> Theta - the treasure chest past the ochulips contains....
  426. [13:44:53] <Kaingaskhan> Eye drops! Wow! Speaking of which you also got 1 exp, 400 gold and a soft from the basilisks
  427. [13:45:31] <Kaingaskhan> Kind of a waste of time maybe? Then again it's a status curing item and you have no idea what's ahead.
  428. [13:45:52] <Kaingaskhan> Celina - the baby malboro doesn't leave immediately, and instead...
  429. [13:45:55] <Kaingaskhan> COMBAT!
  430. [13:45:56] <Amaryllis> (a soft each or one for the party?)
  431. [13:45:56] <Kaingaskhan> ...maybe?
  432. [13:45:58] <Kaingaskhan> Kinda sort?
  433. [13:46:02] <Kaingaskhan> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uh1e3xJdQ0Q
  434. [13:46:03] <Theta> "...Eye Drops? Interesting."
  435. [13:46:14] <Celina> "Uh."
  436. [13:46:17] <Theta> "Maybe these are emergancy medical supplies left by the guards in case...nah that's silly."
  437. [13:46:19] <Celina> "Guys."
  438. [13:46:21] <Amaryllis> (hahahaha knew what it was before clicking)
  439. [13:46:24] <Celina> "It's following me what do I do."
  440. [13:46:28] <Celina> (it was obvious V:(
  441. [13:46:33] <Kaingaskhan> It wiggles at you. "Me want Ore!" it says in broken common.
  442. [13:46:35] <Amaryllis> (s-shut up)
  443. [13:46:45] <Celina> "Oh it talks uh okay."
  444. [13:46:50] <Celina> "Ore ore do we have ore?"
  445. [13:46:53] * Theta digs around in his bag.
  446. [13:46:58] <Theta> "I have two of them..."
  447. [13:47:34] * Theta puts the two ores on the ground in front of the little guy.
  448. [13:47:35] * Aori_Radidjiu (aoriradidj@sux-691A118.itap.purdue.edu) has joined #kaingame
  449. [13:47:35] * UboaServ sets mode: +o Aori_Radidjiu
  450. [13:47:41] <Celina> (hey aori)
  451. [13:47:48] <Celina> (we just found the first friendly monster)
  452. [13:47:52] <Celina> (it's a malbabby)
  453. [13:47:54] <@Aori_Radidjiu> (HI)
  454. [13:47:55] <@Aori_Radidjiu> (Sorry I took so long)
  455. [13:47:57] * Aori_Radidjiu is now known as Lenore
  456. [13:47:57] <Kaingaskhan> The little malboro shuffles over and just takes one in its tentacles, crushing the mineral in its mouth and swallowing.
  457. [13:48:30] <Kaingaskhan> Malboro: "Thanks! You say hi to Oglop if see, k?" it shuffles off. What the hell was that about? Oh well, you all feel a little better about yourselves...
  458. [13:48:47] <Kaingaskhan> Everyone received 10 AP! Something special will happen if you hit 100!
  459. [13:49:02] <Kaingaskhan> Received: Nothing.
  460. [13:49:04] <Celina> (what the hell is an ap)
  461. [13:49:07] <Celina> (:B)
  462. [13:49:20] <Kaingaskhan> Ability points! Which were in FF9 btw.
  463. [13:49:25] <Celina> (:B :B :B)
  464. [13:49:26] <Kaingaskhan> You'll see what they do here if you get 100. :3
  465. [13:49:31] <Theta> "...Interesting," he picks up the other ore and pockets it again.
  466. [13:49:34] * Celina waits until it's a decent distance away and then starts gasping for breath.
  467. [13:49:36] <Celina> "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa"
  468. [13:49:49] <Kaingaskhan> Ammy - eventually you get the windmill pointing north
  469. [13:50:05] <Kaingaskhan> The spores around the ledge leading up disperse, and the ochulips to the south begin producing spores again.
  470. [13:50:16] <Kaingaskhan> Now you kind of see why these fans are necessary.
  471. [13:50:38] * Celina hurries after Ammy.
  472. [13:50:40] : Amaryllis waited for Theta to get away from the chest before turning the windmill hopefully!
  473. [13:50:57] <Theta> (Well I'd assume if he gave the ore to the babby then yes.)
  474. [13:51:06] <Theta> He follows along with the others.
  475. [13:51:42] <Kaingaskhan> Prickles, who has been quiet this whole time, speaks up. "I do believe that's the first time I've seen one of those that wasn't immediately hostile. Curious..."
  476. [13:52:02] <Theta> (Did we get One soft total or one per?)
  477. [13:52:07] <Kaingaskhan> You all start heading up the ledge... and there's nothing up here but the boulder. Boo.
  478. [13:52:12] <Kaingaskhan> (One total)
  479. [13:52:20] <Celina> "Most cactuars aren't too friendly with people either - hmm."
  480. [13:52:30] <Celina> "What if we used this to make a bridge?"
  481. [13:52:45] <Kaingaskhan> Prickles: "Adventurers are scary in their own right. And usually attack first."
  482. [13:52:50] <Amaryllis> "I believe Theta indeed suggested that."
  483. [13:53:07] <Kaingaskhan> Lenore - THE STORY SO FAR
  484. [13:53:18] <Kaingaskhan> Nat ran off in the morning, apparently towards Ipsen's castle
  485. [13:53:32] <Kaingaskhan> You guys left and headed north to pursue her, and are now in Seaways Canyon
  486. [13:53:42] <@Lenore> (Poison spores, fans, friendly marlboros, Cast gave me a briefing)
  487. [13:53:54] <Kaingaskhan> The canyon is impeding your progress however, because poisonous flowers that mature into monsters are in bloom! Good heavens.
  488. [13:54:07] <Kaingaskhan> Ok
  489. [13:54:39] <Kaingaskhan> Okay guys, pushing the boulder?
  490. [13:54:40] * Celina hugs Prickles. ;~;
  491. [13:54:46] <Kaingaskhan> Prickles squibbles
  492. [13:54:59] * @Lenore pushes the boulder feebly.
  493. [13:55:02] <Celina> "On the other hand.."
  494. [13:55:05] <Amaryllis> "Travelers often have much to fear from the unknown. I have a hundred tales I could tell were I in the state to do so. That does not always excuse their actions though you are right, and even the most notorious monsters may be befriended." Squibble squab squib
  495. [13:55:34] * Theta gets behind the boulder and puuuushes, nudges the ground to sorta help some!
  496. [13:55:36] <Kaingaskhan> EVERYONE WHO'S PUSHING THE BOULDER...
  497. [13:55:40] <Kaingaskhan> PRESS X
  498. [13:55:41] : Amaryllis steps up to push the boulder
  499. [13:55:45] <Celina> X
  500. [13:55:54] <@Lenore> X
  501. [13:55:56] <Amaryllis> X

  504. [13:56:03] <Kaingaskhan> PUT SOME MUSCLE INTO IT
  505. [13:56:07] * Celina pushes it with her wussy ratmuscles
  506. [13:56:09] <Celina> xxxxxxxxxxx
  507. [13:56:14] <@Lenore> XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

  510. [13:56:28] <Celina> xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

  512.

  514. [13:56:49] <Theta> xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
  515. [13:56:53] <Kaingaskhan> good enough
  516. [13:56:55] <Theta> ( I always sucked at these.)
  517. [13:57:01] <Kaingaskhan> The lot of you HNNNNNGH
  518. [13:57:04] <Celina> (this fuckin' game)
  519. [13:57:05] <@Lenore> (Same)
  520. [13:57:21] <Amaryllis> (I always used a spoon or something that I'd rapidly pass over the button)
  521. [13:57:31] <Kaingaskhan> and with your powers combined manage to push the boulder over the cliff, where it plunges into the ravine, and creates a makeshift bridge across!
  522. [13:57:38] <@Lenore> (wait)
  523. [13:57:43] <@Lenore> (wait)
  524. [13:58:10] <Kaingaskhan> waiting
  525. [13:58:10] <@Lenore> (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4xuXkVzBdJQ relevant)
  526. [13:58:22] <Kaingaskhan> I knew EXACTLY
  527. [13:58:22] <Kaingaskhan> what that was
  528. [13:58:30] <@Lenore> (I know)
  529. [13:59:19] <@Lenore> (That's what makes it so perfect)
  530. [13:59:55] <Kaingaskhan> Silly minigame shenanigans over and done with, you move back down and can proceed.
  531. [14:01:15] <Kaingaskhan> You get a better view of the next part of the canyon as you carefully step across the boulder. You're still out in the open, but a few things are different. Namely in this area there are three windmills, and three sets of ochulips giving off spores. The spores are a different color this time, too. To the north and south, grey clouds of spores, and to the east, purple, grey and green spores
  532. [14:01:15] <Kaingaskhan> rising like a foul cloud of doom.
  533. [14:01:17] : Amaryllis shuffles back and over the boulder to the other side, taking a last glance at the bottom of the ravine as she does.
  534. [14:01:26] <Celina> "Oh, lovely."
  535. [14:02:13] <@Lenore> "...hey guys?"
  536. [14:02:19] <Kaingaskhan> The westernmost windmill is pointed west, towards you guys. The northern most is pointed north, and the southernmost pointed northwest.
  537. [14:02:26] <@Lenore> "Why can't we set them on fire?"
  538. [14:02:50] <Kaingaskhan> There's a lever next to the northernmost one, and a group of tiny, bulb-like plants with giant bees following them around patrolling the area. The bulbs seem to have the foul flowers growing on their heads.
  539. [14:02:55] <Amaryllis> "Risk of fumes."
  540. [14:02:59] <Celina> (beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees)
  541. [14:03:11] <@Lenore> "...oh."
  542. [14:03:13] <@Lenore> "...right."
  543. [14:03:19] <Celina> "Risk of accelerating whatever turns them into Ochu."
  544. [14:03:32] <Theta> "I say whoever installed the levers in this part was just plain cynical."
  545. [14:03:55] <Celina> "I don't follow."
  546. [14:04:45] <@Lenore> "So we....hmm...."
  547. [14:05:25] <Amaryllis> "Shall we distract them whilst one of us operates the lever?"
  548. [14:05:50] <Theta> "Those microchus?"
  549. [14:06:01] <Theta> "That or simply deal with them."
  550. [14:06:03] <@Lenore> "Can I set THOSE on fire?"
  551. [14:06:11] <Celina> "Sure, why not."
  552. [14:06:14] <Celina> "I'll help."
  553. [14:06:17] <Amaryllis> "Please do."
  554. [14:06:25] <@Lenore> "I want to do SOMETHING with fire~! I just got good at it!"
  555. [14:06:35] <@Lenore> "Not as good as lightning..."
  556. [14:06:52] <Kaingaskhan> Rushing the mob of monsters!
  557. [14:06:55] <Kaingaskhan> ?
  558. [14:07:13] <Kaingaskhan> There seem to be roughly... five bees and three of the microchus.
  559. [14:07:13] <@Lenore> "Who wants to go with me?"
  560. [14:07:51] * Celina goes with Lenore go set some babby plants on fire.
  561. [14:07:52] <Theta> "I shall assist you, might prove easier than simply distracting them."
  562. [14:08:25] <Kaingaskhan> Amaryllis?
  563. [14:08:28] <@Lenore> "Okay!"
  564. [14:08:39] : Amaryllis stares a second, then follows. "Not my liking, but so it is written."
  565. [14:11:22] <Kaingaskhan> The bees buzz in warning as you approach, and the microchus wheel around on the spot, leaning forward and spewing tiny amounts of spores from their heads threateningly! Not enough to be a bother like the flowers, but...
  566. [14:11:25] <Kaingaskhan> COMBAT
  567. [14:11:54] <Kaingaskhan> 5x Giant Bee, 3x Microchu
  568. [14:11:58] <Kaingaskhan> AMARYLLIS
  569. [14:12:07] : Amaryllis swipes at a chu!
  570. [14:12:09] <Amaryllis> 2d6+3
  571. [14:12:10] <DiceMaid-9001> Amaryllis, 2d6+3: 10 [2d6=4,3]
  572. [14:12:19] <Amaryllis> 33 damage if it hits
  573. [14:12:28] * @Lenore begins chanting! Is Mr. Prickles here? If so she's asking him to cover her. Otherwise OH WELL.
  574. [14:13:16] <KamenWriter_> (Oh lawd. Baby Marlboro. Should kill it because horrible abomination but... so... cute ;_;)
  575. [14:13:24] * Theta beckons to the canyon walls. "Give us strength, spirits!" Stone Wall, +6 ARM to everyone!
  576. [14:13:43] <KamenWriter_> (Oh wow I'm super behind)
  577. [14:14:02] * DiceMaid-9001 is now known as RichterBelmont
  578. [14:14:09] * RichterBelmont is now known as DiceMaid-9001
  579. [14:14:35] <Celina> (don't worry, we didn't)
  580. [14:14:37] <Celina> (spoilers)
  581. [14:14:48] <Kaingaskhan> Mr. Prickles can't really give combat benefits at the moment. :3c He can TRY to cover you, but he's not good at it.
  582. [14:14:54] <KamenWriter_> (The chat didn't scroll for some reason :<)
  583. [14:15:11] <Kaingaskhan> anyway yes that hit a Microchu!
  584. [14:15:18] <Kaingaskhan> Your blade tears into supple plant flesh!
  585. [14:15:41] <Celina> 2d6+3 FIRE EVERYWHERE
  586. [14:15:41] <DiceMaid-9001> Celina, FIRE EVERYWHERE: 14 [2d6=6,5]
  587. [14:15:46] <Celina> CRITICAL HIT
  588. [14:15:47] <Kaingaskhan> FIRE EVERYWHERE indeed
  589. [14:16:06] <Celina> 66 fire m.arm damage and opposed force for blinding
  590. [14:16:08] <Celina> 2d6+2
  591. [14:16:09] <DiceMaid-9001> Celina, 2d6+2: 5 [2d6=1,2]
  592. [14:16:12] <Celina> V:
  593. [14:16:22] <Kaingaskhan> that's-
  594. [14:16:29] <Kaingaskhan> hm totaling this out...
  595. [14:16:37] <Kaingaskhan> even with just vulnerability to fire instead of weakness
  596. [14:16:48] <Kaingaskhan> uhh
  597. [14:16:52] <Kaingaskhan> all the enemies are dead
  598. [14:17:07] * Celina takes a deep breath, inhales a spore, and spends the rest of her turn spraying fire everywhere as she coughs it back up again.
  599. [14:17:12] <Celina> (ha ha oh wow)
  600. [14:17:18] <Kaingaskhan> When the flames clear, there's nothing to be seen.
  601. [14:17:21] <Theta> (hahahaha.)
  602. [14:17:22] <Kaingaskhan> That was kind of... anticlimatic.
  603. [14:17:23] <Theta> "..."
  604. [14:17:30] <Theta> "Well I suppose we're done with that business."
  605. [14:17:36] <Celina> "...I suppose so."
  606. [14:17:39] <Kaingaskhan> Good job I suppose!
  607. [14:17:40] * Theta gets the hell away from dragonlady of doom.
  608. [14:17:42] <@Lenore> "Awwww."
  609. [14:17:46] <Celina> (GO TEAM)
  610. [14:17:47] <Kaingaskhan> Note to self give enemies more HP
  611. [14:17:47] <@Lenore> "...you're better at Fire than I am."
  612. [14:18:05] <Amaryllis> "Impressive."
  613. [14:18:09] <Celina> "I'm just glad I didn't hit any of you."
  614. [14:18:23] <@Lenore> "It's okay! I believe in you!"
  615. [14:18:58] <Kaingaskhan> 1 exp, 600 gold aaaand
  616. [14:19:01] <Kaingaskhan> 1d100
  617. [14:19:02] <DiceMaid-9001> Kaingaskhan, 1d100: 79 [1d100=79]
  618. [14:19:06] <@Lenore> (+infinityd6 damage)
  619. [14:19:07] <Kaingaskhan> no item drops
  620. [14:19:17] <Celina> (are the golds for each of us or total)
  621. [14:19:23] <Kaingaskhan> total
  622. [14:19:35] <Amaryllis> (oh Aori we got 1 exp and 400 gil earlier)
  623. [14:19:40] <@Lenore> (So 150 each, right?)
  624. [14:19:42] <Celina> (okay, hope someone else is keeping track then v:)
  625. [14:19:42] <Kaingaskhan> if I give a gold amount to you and don't specify someone getting it, it's for groupsplit
  626. [14:19:50] <@Lenore> (...do I qualify for that stuff earlier, Kain?)
  627. [14:19:54] <Kaingaskhan> yes
  628. [14:19:58] <@Lenore> (Yay~)
  629. [14:20:04] <Kaingaskhan> OKAY SO THE WINDMILLS
  630. [14:20:22] <Kaingaskhan> Prickles is hiding behind Lenore at this point
  631. [14:20:30] <Kaingaskhan> He peeeks out at the ashes.
  632. [14:20:56] * Celina coughs into her hand again.
  633. [14:21:10] <Kaingaskhan> He ducks back into safety.
  634. [14:21:25] <Celina> "Ahem, ahem. Let's move on."
  635. [14:21:28] <Kaingaskhan> So I'm assuming someone throws the switch?
  636. [14:21:28] * @Lenore patpats him. On the notspikes. "It's okay, we won't hurt you!"
  637. [14:21:34] * @Lenore KICKS IT.
  638. [14:21:39] * Celina THROWS THE SWITCH okay no Lenore does it
  639. [14:21:48] <Kaingaskhan> The lever, while next to the northmost windmill, actually... doesn't make it move at all.
  640. [14:22:47] <@Lenore> "...maybe I didn't kick it hard enough?"
  641. [14:22:50] <Kaingaskhan> But the western and southern windmills each turn clockwise, the west one pointing northwest and clearing the spores there, and the southern one pointing northeast and doing all of jackshit to the huge spore cloud.
  642. [14:22:56] <Kaingaskhan> er
  643. [14:22:59] <Kaingaskhan> no wait my bad
  644. [14:23:07] <Kaingaskhan> I've got that reversed
  645. [14:23:16] <Kaingaskhan> they actually turn COUNTER clockwise
  646. [14:23:25] <Theta> (Copying this chart makes me realize Dust sucks at consistant wording of stuff.)
  647. [14:23:26] <Kaingaskhan> the south one is clearing the spores in the south
  648. [14:23:38] <Kaingaskhan> west windmill is pointing east
  649. [14:23:45] <Kaingaskhan> north windmill is still pointing north uselessly
  650. [14:24:42] <Amaryllis> "South first?" Ammy is already nervously trekking that way even as she asks.
  651. [14:24:45] <Kaingaskhan> the single windmill pointing east doesn't seem to do much.
  652. [14:25:03] <@Lenore> "Sure! Somewhere new opened up, so obviously we're supposed to go there~"
  653. [14:25:28] <Celina> "Seems reasonable enough."
  654. [14:25:57] <Kaingaskhan> Let me make a notepad of things so far
  655. [14:26:04] * Theta follows along where ever they choose.
  656. [14:26:52] <@Lenore> ('kay~)
  657. [14:26:58] <Kaingaskhan> <Kaingaskhan> The westernmost windmill is pointed west, towards you guys. The northern most is pointed north, and the southernmost pointed northwest.
  658. [14:26:58] <Kaingaskhan> <Kaingaskhan> they actually turn COUNTER clockwise
  659. [14:26:58] <Kaingaskhan> <Theta> (Copying this chart makes me realize Dust sucks at consistant wording of stuff.)
  660. [14:26:58] <Kaingaskhan> <Kaingaskhan> the south one is clearing the spores in the south
  661. [14:26:58] <Kaingaskhan> <Kaingaskhan> west windmill is pointing east
  662. [14:26:58] <Kaingaskhan> <Kaingaskhan> north windmill is still pointing north uselessly
  663. [14:27:00] <Kaingaskhan> as a reminder
  664. [14:27:33] <Kaingaskhan> Heading south, you stroll into an area where things seem to split left and right. To the left you see another treasure chest, and to the right a path leading up to another lever, with another underpass going under it.
  665. [14:28:08] * @Lenore runs up to the chest, her rod at the ready~
  666. [14:28:28] <Kaingaskhan> Click, open!
  667. [14:28:31] <Kaingaskhan> You find...
  668. [14:29:02] <KamenWriter_> (inb4 mimic)
  669. [14:29:08] <@Lenore> (^)
  670. [14:29:11] <@Lenore> (I WANTED a mimic)
  671. [14:29:38] : Amaryllis starts up toward the other lever, then stops. "...Someone should wait at the other lever, in case activating this one traps us behind a fog of spores."
  672. [14:29:58] <Celina> "Perhaps Sir Theta?"
  673. [14:30:09] <Celina> "His sorcery should protect him, at least for a small while."
  674. [14:30:33] * Theta nods. "Alright, then," and heads back to the first lever.
  675. [14:31:36] <Kaingaskhan> A fine-looking dress of some sort. Whatever they are they seem a bit more servicable than plain cottom robes. Magician's Gown, Tier 2 armor. +2 MND
  676. [14:31:47] <Kaingaskhan> *cotton
  677. [14:32:04] : Amaryllis waits til Theta is safely across where the spores used to be then tugs on the lever.
  678. [14:32:05] <Kaingaskhan> Theta on lever 1, eh?
  679. [14:32:11] <Kaingaskhan> You tug on the lever on this end.
  680. [14:32:15] * @Lenore puts it on~. Better than the raincoat!
  681. [14:32:35] * @Lenore instantly changes without taking her clothes off. Somehow.
  682. [14:32:47] <Kaingaskhan> Theta sees the northernmost windmill turn counterclockwise towards the west, and the westernmost one turn counterclockwise northwest, clearing the spores there.
  683. [14:32:55] <Theta> (Oh that's the REAL reason you made him move out of view huh.)
  684. [14:33:49] <Theta> "It's cleared the other path!" He shouts out.
  685. [14:33:52] <Kaingaskhan> the south windmill doesn't change positions
  686. [14:34:01] * Celina looks enviously at the dress, then decides that it wouldn't fit her anyway.
  687. [14:34:17] <Celina> "All right, and betwen you and us?"
  688. [14:34:18] <Kaingaskhan> And there's also that underpass that goes under the lever... wonder if there's anything down there?
  689. [14:34:28] <Kaingaskhan> The path between you all is still clear
  690. [14:34:50] <Kaingaskhan> The path to the east is still chock full of spores.
  691. [14:35:08] <Theta> "Still alright."
  692. [14:35:23] <Amaryllis> "Check the new path!" Ammy yells over.
  693. [14:35:34] * Celina checks the underpass.
  694. [14:35:43] * Theta hops down and heads to the underpass, then.
  695. [14:35:43] <Kaingaskhan> Oh hey, another treasure chest.
  696. [14:35:43] * @Lenore runs up, in her new dress~
  697. [14:36:17] <Kaingaskhan> Theta heads to a DIFFERENT path, the one that cleared up, which loops around and goes under itself... to yet another chest!
  698. [14:36:59] <Theta> "Hm?" He opens this one as well.
  699. [14:37:58] * @Lenore lets someone else open up the chests~.
  700. [14:38:09] <Kaingaskhan> Celina's chest reveals... some rugged looking Lesetiran Leather, Tier 2 Medium Armor that grant Special Ability: Fighter Job Ability: Cyclone.
  701. [14:38:10] <Theta> (Man I'm not sure if Dust is just really this silly or she made a massive, sweeping typo in Geomancer.)
  702. [14:38:12] * SNES (Fake@sux-C7187F23.dhcp.bycy.mi.charter.com) has joined #kaingame
  703. [14:38:48] <Celina> (at which point, theta)
  704. [14:38:49] <Kaingaskhan> As an instant action, you can make your next attack damage everyone in a short range like Jump, but unlike Jump it does half damage.
  705. [14:39:00] <Kaingaskhan> It also prevents enemies from escaping! Which is kind of nifty
  706. [14:39:08] <Theta> (All the Geotrances except Town and Underground use Half Level for offense, those last two use full level)
  707. [14:39:31] <Celina> (yeah, the group where I'm playing a geomancer just said everything does full level because that's dumb)
  708. [14:39:41] <Kaingaskhan> Jump is still better damage-wise but Cyclone is quicker and has some utility to it, so choose wisely :V
  709. [14:39:43] <Amaryllis> (full level scales to be terribly powerful though)
  710. [14:39:59] <Celina> (game's not going to last that long)
  711. [14:40:14] * Celina quickly changes into the new armor. Good, her last set was kinda bloodstained.
  712. [14:40:32] * Celina heads back~
  713. [14:40:36] <Theta> (Full level on Town makes it, ironically, the strongest option for Geomancers.)
  714. [14:40:41] <Theta> (urban druids.)
  715. [14:40:42] <Kaingaskhan> Theta opens his chest to reveal...a crystal fragment?! Wait, no, it's some other sort of broken blue gem.
  716. [14:40:44] <Kaingaskhan> Huh.
  717. [14:40:57] <Kaingaskhan> Received key item: Learning Fragment.
  718. [14:41:01] <Kaingaskhan> Collect all 6!
  719. [14:41:03] <Theta> "What."
  720. [14:41:18] <Theta> "He pockets it, and heads back to the main common's area.
  721. [14:42:00] <Kaingaskhan> All of this though and you're still no closer to going east
  722. [14:42:22] <Theta> "I found a...blue gem of sorts. But no levers."
  723. [14:42:35] <Theta> He looks back to the one on the other side of the boulder.
  724. [14:42:41] <Theta> "Maybe that one controls two windmills?"
  725. [14:42:51] <@Lenore> "Let's go back to one I kicked and rekick it!"
  726. [14:43:29] <Kaingaskhan> Both levers seem to control the western windmill.
  727. [14:43:34] <Amaryllis> "Each of these two controls two windmills." Ammy quickly notes the positions of the windmills as she walks back to the center.
  728. [14:44:17] <Kaingaskhan> North Windmill: West. West Windmill: Northwest. South Windmill: Southwest.
  729. [14:44:54] <Kaingaskhan> I made a puzzle
  730. [14:45:01] : Amaryllis waits til everyone is clear and then pulls the once-guarded lever three times, hoping it gets the south windmill pointed east.
  731. [14:45:26] <Theta> (Yeah these geotrance amounts sorta confuse me Dust what are you doing.)
  732. [14:46:05] <Kaingaskhan> It spins northeast towards the cloud, then northwest, then back to southwest where it just was.
  733. [14:46:36] <Amaryllis> "Three positions, not four." Ammy marks down a note in the margin of her journal.
  734. [14:46:55] <Celina> "Maybe if we each pull one at the same time?"
  735. [14:46:57] : Amaryllis looks to see if the west windmill followed a similar pattern.
  736. [14:47:22] <Kaingaskhan> Similarly the west windmill turns west, then east, then northwest again.
  737. [14:47:50] <@Lenore> (brb)
  738. [14:49:41] <Theta> "Probably has less to do with the timing and more the state of the other levers."
  739. [14:49:50] <Theta> "Seeing as they seem to be avoiding the one direction we desire."
  740. [14:49:57] : Amaryllis thinks and then goes toward the southern lever. "Yell at me when the northern-most windmill is pointed east."
  741. [14:50:11] <Celina> "Will do."
  742. [14:50:15] * Celina keeps a close eye out.
  743. [14:50:20] : Amaryllis trots off to pull the lever.
  744. [14:50:27] <Kaingaskhan> You pull it aaaand
  745. [14:51:07] <Kaingaskhan> West windmill turns west, north windmill spins around to east
  746. [14:53:09] <Theta> "Annnd there we are." He shouts over.
  747. [14:54:13] <Celina> "Now, what should we do?"
  748. [14:54:16] <Amaryllis> "Once more and this chapter is complete." Ammy walks back over and points at the first lever.
  749. [14:54:25] * Celina pull!
  750. [14:54:43] <Kaingaskhan> West windmill spins around to the east, as south points northeast...
  751. [14:54:56] <Kaingaskhan> and together, all concentrated on the cloud of spores, blows them away to reveal...
  752. [14:55:41] <Kaingaskhan> a monolithic, triangular plant beast with a skirt made of flower petals, and several huge vines sprouting from its body. Its head seems to be mostly mouth.
  753. [14:55:55] <Kaingaskhan> "Ochu..." Prickles whispers in a frightened squibble.
  754. [14:55:58] <Celina> "I-Is that..."
  755. [14:56:03] <Kaingaskhan> Four Microchus accompany it!
  756. [14:56:07] <@Lenore> "Celina!"
  757. [14:56:10] <@Lenore> "Fire time!"
  758. [14:56:21] <Celina> "R-right!"
  759. [14:56:26] <Amaryllis> "This was a mistake." Ammy sighs and draws her blade.
  760. [14:56:26] <Kaingaskhan> BOSS TIME

  764. [14:57:26] <Kaingaskhan> Ammaryllis!
  765. [14:57:48] : Amaryllis stays back and begins to chant, holding up her book of stories.
  766. [14:57:55] * Botherer is now known as ADDerer
  767. [14:58:01] <Kaingaskhan> Celina!
  768. [14:58:12] <Celina> 2d6+3 FIRE

  776. [14:58:45] <@Lenore> (oh god yes)
  777. [14:58:53] <Kaingaskhan> The microchus are obliterated in a wave of fire! The Ochu only looks pissed though
  778. [14:59:07] * Theta backs the fuck away from crazy firebreathing ratgirl of death.
  779. [14:59:13] <Kaingaskhan> And the Ochu is immune to Blind.
  780. [14:59:28] * @Lenore gets a big wild smile at the display~
  781. [14:59:35] <Kaingaskhan> Lenore!
  782. [14:59:41] * Celina burns her tongue ;~;
  783. [14:59:50] * @Lenore begins chanting, hoping to create a torrent of flames that can rival Celina's!
  784. [14:59:59] * Theta stabs the cliffside as dust kicks up, coating the party in a protective layer, Stone Wall! +6 ARM.
  785. [15:01:22] <Kaingaskhan> The Ochu stomps HARD, rooting itself into the ground, then purposely uprooting itself, sending chunks of rock and roots everywhere!
  786. [15:01:33] <Kaingaskhan> 2d6+4 Ochu Quake
  787. [15:01:33] <DiceMaid-9001> Kaingaskhan, Ochu Quake: 11 [2d6=4,3]

  803. [15:03:01] <Kaingaskhan> so uh
  804. [15:03:01] <@Lenore> (jesus christ)
  805. [15:03:04] <Kaingaskhan> let's see here
  806. [15:03:12] <Amaryllis> (well, fuck hahahaha)
  807. [15:03:14] <Celina> (good game guys ;~;)
  808. [15:03:16] <Theta> (Slowtouch.)
  809. [15:03:18] <Kaingaskhan> Opposed finesse or force please
  810. [15:03:19] <Theta> (Oh my.)
  811. [15:03:23] <Kaingaskhan> 2d6+5
  812. [15:03:24] <DiceMaid-9001> Kaingaskhan, 2d6+5: 10 [2d6=2,3]

  814. [15:03:29] <DiceMaid-9001> Celina, 2d6+4: 11 [2d6=6,1]
  815. [15:03:30] <Theta> Theta sees this shit coming, Third Eye!
  816. [15:03:31] <Celina> phew
  817. [15:03:32] <Amaryllis> 2d6+6 force it is!
  818. [15:03:32] <DiceMaid-9001> Amaryllis, force it is!: 10 [2d6=1,3]
  819. [15:03:41] <Amaryllis> ;-;
  820. [15:03:47] <Kaingaskhan> Ammy avoids it, tie wins
  821. [15:04:03] <Theta> he jumps as the quake hits. Everyone knows this actually works!
  822. [15:04:04] <Kaingaskhan> Lenore?
  823. [15:04:07] : Amaryllis weathers the blow pretty well then! Stone armor sure is helping.
  824. [15:04:19] <@Lenore> 2d6+3 same either way
  825. [15:04:20] <DiceMaid-9001> Lenore, same either way: 10 [2d6=4,3]
  826. [15:04:23] <@Lenore> Uh.
  827. [15:04:27] <Kaingaskhan> You all manage to avoid the worst of it
  828. [15:04:31] <Kaingaskhan> And just get the damage
  829. [15:04:33] <Kaingaskhan> except Theta
  830. [15:04:34] <Kaingaskhan> who jumps
  831. [15:04:40] <Kaingaskhan> lucky bitches
  832. [15:04:44] <Theta> (I suppose this means I'm on healer duty V:)
  833. [15:04:45] <Kaingaskhan> Ammy!
  834. [15:04:50] <Celina> (I'm slightly below half health, it'd help)
  835. [15:04:57] : Amaryllis finishes her chant and tries to put the Ochu to sleep! (not that this helps much given hitting the thing wakes it :V)
  836. [15:05:04] <Amaryllis> (didn't expect microchus to all insta-gib again)
  837. [15:05:28] <Celina> (sorry ;~;)
  838. [15:05:33] <Amaryllis> 2d6+6 force for sleep anyway
  839. [15:05:34] <DiceMaid-9001> Amaryllis, force for sleep anyway: 17 [2d6=6,5]
  840. [15:05:38] <Celina> (damn)

  842. [15:05:53] <DiceMaid-9001> Kaingaskhan, 2d6+6: 12 [2d6=1,5]
  843. [15:05:59] <Kaingaskhan> He falls asleep!
  844. [15:06:04] * Theta starts channeling healing energies from the wind for these poor ladies who just got rocked.
  845. [15:06:09] <Amaryllis> 2d6+3 and then she takes up her blade and swipes at the creature! ...Probably undoing her spell, but what can you do?
  846. [15:06:09] <DiceMaid-9001> Amaryllis, and then she takes up her blade and swipes at the creature! ...Probably undoing her spell, but what can you do?: 14 [2d6=6,5]
  847. [15:06:13] <Theta> 2d6+3 healing to everyone, yay healing!
  848. [15:06:14] <DiceMaid-9001> Theta, healing to everyone, yay healing!: 5 [2d6=1,1]
  849. [15:06:17] <Theta> (Pht.)
  850. [15:06:26] <Amaryllis> 37 damage damnit should've declared nightsword :V
  851. [15:06:26] <Kaingaskhan> WHAM
  852. [15:06:49] <Kaingaskhan> looking something up real quick
  853. [15:07:26] <Kaingaskhan> Okay yeah he wakes up immediately, but hey, 37 damage
  854. [15:07:34] <Celina> 2d6+3 FIRE
  855. [15:07:35] <DiceMaid-9001> Celina, FIRE: 13 [2d6=5,5]
  856. [15:07:39] <Celina> (so close)
  857. [15:07:45] <Kaingaskhan> BLUUUURGH
  858. [15:07:52] <Celina> 32 fire marm etc
  859. [15:07:58] * @Lenore lets out a blast of FIRE.
  860. [15:08:19] <Kaingaskhan> Go go
  861. [15:08:44] <@Lenore> 2d6+33 M. Arm damage
  862. [15:08:45] <DiceMaid-9001> Lenore, M. Arm damage: 41 [2d6=6,2]
  863. [15:09:18] <Kaingaskhan> Another significant amount of damage!
  864. [15:09:22] <Kaingaskhan> and it's the Ochu's turn again.
  865. [15:09:31] <Kaingaskhan> It begins casting a spell!
  866. [15:09:33] <Kaingaskhan> Ammy
  867. [15:09:34] * @Lenore starts chanting again. Obviously.
  868. [15:10:01] <Kaingaskhan> (Fun fact)
  869. [15:10:04] <Theta> moaaar healing
  870. [15:10:06] <Theta> 2d6+3
  871. [15:10:08] <DiceMaid-9001> Theta, 2d6+3: 8 [2d6=2,3]
  872. [15:10:11] <Kaingaskhan> (Theta knows from his monster lore that Ochus know one spell)
  873. [15:10:12] <Theta> (God this is pitiful.)
  874. [15:10:14] <Kaingaskhan> (Blizzara)
  875. [15:10:24] : Amaryllis yells to Lenore. "We should strike this monster together!" (proposing teamwork attack...? Wanna risk it?)
  876. [15:10:41] * Celina doesn't intend to be around for that. SEE YOU FUCKERS, I'MA BE JUMPING
  877. [15:10:45] <@Lenore> (Sure, after I let my fire off!)
  878. [15:10:50] <Amaryllis> (well you got me up to full health zoof so it's doing SOMETHING)
  879. [15:10:56] <Amaryllis> (well I mean use the fire spell as the teamwork attack)
  880. [15:11:03] <@Lenore> (OH, FINE THEN)
  881. [15:11:09] <@Lenore> 2d6+33 LET'S DO IT
  882. [15:11:10] <DiceMaid-9001> Lenore, LET'S DO IT: 42 [2d6=6,3]
  883. [15:11:16] <Amaryllis> 2d6+3 acc
  884. [15:11:17] <DiceMaid-9001> Amaryllis, acc: 13 [2d6=4,6]
  885. [15:11:22] <Kaingaskhan> SYNC
  886. [15:11:24] <@Lenore> (THERE WE GO)
  887. [15:11:37] <Kaingaskhan> GREAT! Teamwork attack, activate!
  888. [15:12:02] <Amaryllis> 36 damage! Ammy coats her blade in the fire from Lenore's spell as she thrusts the sword at the Ochu!
  889. [15:12:27] <@Lenore> (Lenore got the 42 total damage~)
  890. [15:12:52] <Kaingaskhan> The creature shrieks as you lay into it!
  891. [15:12:52] <@Lenore> (...which is reduced because teamwork, right? I think. Whatever.)
  892. [15:12:58] <Kaingaskhan> I don't think so
  893. [15:13:04] <Kaingaskhan> well in any case its its turn again
  894. [15:13:26] <Kaingaskhan> It fumbles its spell under the only thing strong enough to do so (since it's immune to knockback actually) and instead decides to lash a vine at Lenore!
  895. [15:13:46] <Kaingaskhan> 2d6+9 Vine Whip
  896. [15:13:47] <DiceMaid-9001> Kaingaskhan, Vine Whip: 19 [2d6=6,4]
  897. [15:13:54] <@Lenore> (ARM?)
  898. [15:13:57] <Kaingaskhan> Yep
  899. [15:13:58] <@Lenore> (Hits)

  916. [15:15:19] <Kaingaskhan> Nope, wanna reliable that?
  917. [15:15:22] : Amaryllis is not so good at sword yet. Still thinks is knife. :V
  918. [15:15:38] <Kaingaskhan> If you get a 6 you can hit
  919. [15:15:43] <Theta> (I'm actually probably gonna attack this turn V:)
  920. [15:16:01] <Kaingaskhan> or wait

  925. [15:16:25] <Kaingaskhan> so that misses

  928. [15:16:46] <@Lenore> 2d6+33 "Flames burn my foe! Reduce him to the ashes from whence he came!"
  929. [15:16:47] <DiceMaid-9001> Lenore, "Flames burn my foe! Reduce him to the ashes from whence he came!": 38 [2d6=3,2]
  930. [15:17:07] <Celina> "...I'm pretty sure it came from the ground, not from ashes."
  931. [15:17:33] <Kaingaskhan> You scorch it some more... Theta?
  932. [15:17:42] <Theta> This time Theta tries to direct the wind at the Ochu as cutting blades, Wind Shear!
  933. [15:17:45] <Theta> 2d6+2
  934. [15:17:45] <DiceMaid-9001> Theta, 2d6+2: 13 [2d6=5,6]
  935. [15:17:47] * @Lenore starts chanting another spell right after the last one, of course!
  936. [15:17:48] <Theta> (fffff.)
  937. [15:17:55] <Theta> (that's almost a maelstorm ;-;)
  938. [15:17:55] <Kaingaskhan> ALMOST a maelstrom

  954. [15:19:25] <Kaingaskhan> You're not poisoned!
  955. [15:19:36] <Kaingaskhan> The ochu whaps out with a heavily spiked vine!
  956. [15:19:42] <Kaingaskhan> Ammy!
  957. [15:19:51] : Amaryllis cries out as the spikes dig into her flesh though. That's a lot of damage!
  958. [15:20:07] : Amaryllis wreathes her sword in shadow before striking! Night Sword! Darkside!
  959. [15:20:09] <Amaryllis> 2d6+3
  960. [15:20:09] <Kaingaskhan> The ochu looks like it'll use an extremely powerful move next turn... it's practically shaking as it charges its power!
  961. [15:20:10] <DiceMaid-9001> Amaryllis, 2d6+3: 8 [2d6=2,3]
  962. [15:20:17] <Amaryllis> 1d6 reliable on the 2

  975. [15:21:53] <Celina> c
  976. [15:22:02] <Kaingaskhan> There's a flash of light and a sharp crack in the air.
  977. [15:22:08] <Kaingaskhan> Then another flash of light
  978. [15:22:26] <Kaingaskhan> CRACK. CRACK. And then...
  979. [15:22:34] <Kaingaskhan> The ochu begins to turn red and dissolve from the feet up
  980. [15:22:55] <Kaingaskhan> soon, there's nothing left of the beast, except a pile of ashes.
  981. [15:23:26] * @Lenore quits chanting and pumps her fist up! "We did it!"
  982. [15:23:42] * Celina coughs some more, and looks for some water. ;~;
  983. [15:23:52] <Kaingaskhan> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g9MdbEtfqiA
  984. [15:24:02] <Kaingaskhan> +2 EXP
  985. [15:24:05] <Kaingaskhan> +1 Destiny
  986. [15:24:07] <Kaingaskhan> +2000 gold
  987. [15:24:33] <Kaingaskhan> Got Component: Ochu Tentacle! ...Maybe this could make a lashknife or something.
  988. [15:24:45] * Theta stretches some, looking over the remains of the battlefield.
  989. [15:25:26] <Theta> "Well, hopefully that was the last of them -" He notices Lenore's change of clothing and just seems rather confused for a bit.
  990. [15:25:28] <Kaingaskhan> back behind you, you see that the Ochulips seem to wither and melt away, their production of toxins ceasing.
  991. [15:25:29] * Celina glugs a potion and sweeps the ochu ashes into the bottle.
  992. [15:26:01] <Kaingaskhan> Prickles: "What frightening power... well I believe congratulations are in order!"
  993. [15:26:09] <Kaingaskhan> Prickles: "Now shall we be on our way?"
  994. [15:26:23] <@Lenore> "Of course!"
  995. [15:26:33] : Amaryllis sheathes her blade then rolls up her sleeve to examine her arm, still covered with wounds from being split open with shadow. She holds it out as if expecting treatment, then deflates and frowns at remembering that Nat isn't around anymore. "Right..."
  996. [15:26:59] <Celina> "I didn't mean to scare you, of course."
  997. [15:27:08] * Celina still sounds a little hoarse.
  998. [15:27:34] <Kaingaskhan> Prickles: "Of course. It's just... natural to be afraid of fire. You understand."
  999. [15:27:43] <@Lenore> "You sound like you need a drink, Celly!"
  1000. [15:27:57] <Kaingaskhan> Ammy notices that the snake trail she saw from earlier slithers right past this point and northward.
  1001. [15:28:02] <Celina> "I'll be fine, I just need a break."
  1002. [15:28:20] <Celina> "At least from breathing fire."
  1003. [15:28:37] <Theta> "Potions, anyone?" he is holding one, looking to offer it.
  1004. [15:28:38] <Celina> (anyone mind if I take the tentacle?)
  1005. [15:28:54] <Theta> "Or I could see if the wind could do the same..."
  1006. [15:28:57] <Amaryllis> "This path will lead us true." Ammy points at the trail. "Remind me to make a cold gazpacho when it is time for us to break for a meal."
  1007. [15:29:06] <Celina> "That sounds lovely."
  1008. [15:29:07] <@Lenore> "I'll take one!" She guzzles it down!
  1009. [15:29:12] <@Lenore> (Don't mind at all!)
  1010. [15:29:33] <Kaingaskhan> And as you all take a break, then head northward...
  1011. [15:29:39] <Kaingaskhan> Our session for the day comes to a close.
  1012. [15:29:47] <Kaingaskhan> Feel free to continue RPing, but that's all for today, folks
  1013. [15:29:57] <Celina> That was fuuuun
  1014. [15:30:11] <Amaryllis> Yep!
  1015. [15:30:20] : Amaryllis shuffles over to Theta for wind healing.
  1016. [15:31:54] <Kaingaskhan> this is what happens when I have my notes in order
  1017. [15:32:02] <Kaingaskhan> Too bad about the bees and microchus
  1018. [15:32:05] * Theta gives a small little chant, directing the wind to envelop the cuts and wounds, slowly closing them.
  1019. [15:32:06] <Celina> I usually have fun with your game kain
  1020. [15:32:07] <Celina> :3c
  1021. [15:32:15] <@Lenore> Saaaame~
  1022. [15:32:36] <Celina> too bad everyone's gonna be like terrified of celina for a while
  1023. [15:32:37] <Celina> ;~;
  1024. [15:33:06] <Theta> crazy firebreathing deathlady
  1025. [15:33:06] <Kaingaskhan> Now comes the stats
  1026. [15:33:25] <Kaingaskhan> http://pastebin.com/7Fg9ReJB
  1027. [15:33:27] <Amaryllis> "Thank you." Ammy gives Theta a smile. "Shall we continue on or stop for a meal?"
  1028. [15:34:02] <Amaryllis> (or if no one else is really in the mood to RP on, hrm...I do need to do some grocery shopping since I woke up too late for that)
  1029. [15:34:35] <Kaingaskhan> (And this ends at the perfect time for me to enjoy a plate of piping hot lasagna)
  1030. [15:34:41] <Amaryllis> (nice)
  1031. [15:34:49] <Theta> "Up to you, you and Miss Mirach did all the heavy lifting, to say."
  1032. [15:36:17] <Kaingaskhan> (You know what, I'll just throw this out there)
  1033. [15:36:50] <Kaingaskhan> (AP Tutorial: Ability Points help you learn abilities! Collect 100 to earn a new Job Ability or Shared Ability!)
  1034. [15:37:04] <@Lenore> (Oh god what)
  1035. [15:37:06] <Amaryllis> (NO. DO IT WITH MOOGLES.)
  1036. [15:37:15] <@Lenore> (I love you Kain)
  1037. [15:37:21] <Theta> (Shared Ability?)
  1038. [15:37:27] <Kaingaskhan> (OKAY I'LL DO IT WITH MOOGLES NEXT SESSION)
  1039. [15:37:32] <Amaryllis> (generic ability - the ones like twin soul or animal companion)
  1040. [15:37:33] <@Lenore> (Yeah do it!)
  1041. [15:37:42] <Theta> (Oh, hrm.)
  1042. [15:38:05] <Theta> (I'll probably be hittng those up I don't even thinkg I -have- enough interesting job abilities.)
  1043. [15:38:46] <Amaryllis> (what do you have from geomancer again?)
  1044. [15:38:55] <Kaingaskhan> Learning Fragment description - One of six pieces of crystalized blue magic. Used to construct a Tome add-on that grants the Observe job ability.
  1045. [15:39:03] <Theta> (Geomancer stuff is...very...very fluffy.)
  1046. [15:39:19] <Theta> (and not a lot practical like forceful intentions.)
  1047. [15:39:30] <Amaryllis> (oh and since we're pretty set in ending around now)
  1048. [15:39:59] <Amaryllis> "Let us go forward then. I am still worried about Nat. I have taken far too much for granted..." Ammy turns and continues down the trail.
  1049. [15:40:29] <@Lenore> "I'm sure Azure will be okay! She's really smart, y'know!"
