  1. [9:34 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: @Players Should anyone be present if we are playing, the usual rule of 3 applies.
  2. [9:35 PM] Runic: :yousoro:
  3. [9:36 PM] Eon: I'm ready.
  4. [9:36 PM] Faerie: Kill me
  5. [9:36 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Is that a yes for ready Fae? Kappa
  6. [9:36 PM] Faerie: Player count:
  7. [9:36 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: I am kidding, take time off as you need
  8. [9:36 PM] Eon: @Bot Fodder we likely have enough
  9. [9:36 PM] Eon: Though we could wait for mozu
  10. [9:36 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: muzu
  11. [9:36 PM] Faerie: :happypopo: :happypopo: :firepopo: :gun:
  12. [9:37 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: pets Fae.
  13. [9:37 PM] Faerie: It's a good system, popos are useful.
  14. [9:37 PM] Bot Fodder: Here~
  15. [9:38 PM] Faerie: [Muffled MUH ATTENDANCE RATINGS in the distance]
  16. [9:38 PM] Faerie: I'll watch and judge you guys silently for a while before bed
  17. [9:38 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: pets Fae.
  18. [9:38 PM] Eon: fug you
  19. [9:38 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Alrighty.
  20. [9:38 PM] Eon: you're playing
  21. [9:38 PM] Faerie: (Fuck off, Eon, that time doesn't count)
  22. [9:38 PM] Eon: (Kappa)
  23. [9:38 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 1d1
  24. [9:38 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d1]: 1, Result: 1
  25. KogasaGaSagasa pinned a message to this channel. See all the pins.Yesterday at 9:38 PM
  26. [9:40 PM] Bot Fodder: ...?
  27. [9:40 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: We've ended on a tense note earlier, as the party left the Temple of Lolth after meeting with Nephelle, whose receiving a mission from an enigmatic woman only known as Elly. Nobody know her secret idenity, obviously. As Elly points out the nature of nightmare, and asks a quest upon you, you've triggered Lolth's attention. The result is a bloody fight with a spider golem made of stone, and Lolth's will - of which you've managed to be victorious.
  28. [9:41 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You are retreating to a safehouse - your old safehouse - to lick your wounds and recover, before considering what you wish to do. There's the obvious, of course, of charging down to the Drow Catatombs with the unfortunately limited information...
  29. [9:41 PM] Faerie: (I just remembered this would be the Neph session)
  30. [9:41 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Or you may consider other methods, or even doing other things?
  31. [9:42 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Nephelle is with you, as well as Shadow and Recelle, plus two other new arrivals ripped from the nightmare itself, Talmaril and Merlin.
  32. [9:42 PM] Bot Fodder: (Doth that thy sail fill, ser Fae? :smugpopo: )
  33. [9:42 PM] Faerie: (I don't know what the fuck you just said, man
  34. But yes, my feathers are very ruffled)(edited)
  35. [9:42 PM] Eon: They had limited time on Nephelle's end, a day? She was obviously important to the rest, so.. Esker considers. The whole Lolth thing was dangerous to their goals, anyhow, it works out.
  36. [9:43 PM] Eon: Besides, who wouldn't want to beat the drow god's face in?
  37. [9:43 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You've arrived in your old safehouse, the place where you've found Yss and the unicorn's horn.
  38. [9:43 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: And you may perform your short rest. [Anyone missing this point in time may retroactively take this short rest before they join.](edited)
  39. [9:43 PM] Bot Fodder: ("does that fill your sail, Fae?" "Does that make you feel awake?" "Are your soldiers at attention?")
  40. [9:44 PM] Eon: Spending hit die: 3
  41. [9:44 PM] Eon: roll 3d8+6
  42. [9:44 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [3d8+6]: 1,2,1, Result: 10
  43. [9:44 PM] Eon: (wew min rolls)
  44. [9:44 PM] Eon: roll 2d8+4 again
  45. [9:44 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You may roll more, obviously.
  46. [9:44 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [2d8+4]: 2,6, Result: 12
  47. [9:44 PM] Bot Fodder: (Was there a limit to how many hit dice we can spend in one Short?)
  48. [9:44 PM] Eon: roll 1d8+2 AGAIN
  49. [9:44 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d8+2]: 1, Result: 3
  50. [9:44 PM] Eon: ...
  51. [9:44 PM] Eon: roll 1d8+2 ONCE MORE WITH FEELING
  52. [9:44 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d8+2]: 6, Result: 8
  53. [9:45 PM] Runic: ( prays to Dicebot )(edited)
  54. [9:45 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You have a pool of Hit Dice equal to your level at maximum Hit Dice, which you can spend any amount of during short rests. During long rests, you recover half (round up) of it.
  55. [9:45 PM] Eon: (spent 7)
  56. [9:45 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Refer to player's handbook for more information.
  57. [9:45 PM] Eon: Natural Recovery for level 5 slot.
  58. [9:45 PM] Runic: Lexon will rest up, spending half of his hit dice
  59. [9:45 PM] Runic: roll 5d8+2
  60. [9:45 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [5d8+2]: 1,1,4,6,5, Result: 19
  61. [9:46 PM] Eon: Right, how many rituals would you let me get away with?
  62. [9:46 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... Let's say 2.
  63. [9:46 PM] Eon: (I guess divination twice is the more important one than asking Orixia 'btw who's Atlach-Nacha?')(edited)
  64. [9:46 PM] Faerie: Ahhh, shit, can I spend hit die too?
  65. [9:46 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Talmaril sits down, a bit uncomfortably so given the cages around.
  66. [9:46 PM] Faerie: I think we're being wrung hard today
  67. [9:47 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You may when you take your short rest, which doesn't have to be now, notRazmik.
  68. [9:47 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You may take it when you rejoin us :smugpopo:
  69. [9:47 PM] Eon: (Should I abuse the newbie bonus and get moonbeam)
  70. [9:47 PM] Eon: (for the inspiration spam)
  71. [9:47 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (I don't mind, but the blessing is once per day!)
  72. [9:47 PM] Bot Fodder: roll 7d10+3
  73. [9:47 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (As per the update :smugpopo: )
  74. [9:47 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [7d10+3]: 4,1,8,1,1,5,1, Result: 24
  75. [9:48 PM] Eon: (it's not like we can get it otherwise!)
  76. [9:48 PM] Eon: (moonlight in the Underdark?)
  77. [9:48 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: A note to the modifiers for your short rest hit dice recovery,
  78. [9:48 PM] Eon: (... does the Spelljammer's beams count)
  79. [9:48 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You roll it one die at a time, adding your con mod.(edited)
  80. [9:48 PM] Eon: (it's per dice)
  81. [9:48 PM] Eon: (so add like, 18 to that, John)
  82. [9:48 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: So it'd be +10 instead of +2, and +21 instead of +3
  83. [9:49 PM] Bot Fodder: (Ah, I thought I was wrong since I saw earlier rolls.)
  84. [9:49 PM] Runic: Alright, rolling 2 more dices since I'm still only at 33 after 25 recovered hp
  85. [9:49 PM] Runic: roll 2d8+4
  86. [9:49 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [2d8+4]: 1,2, Result: 7
  87. [9:49 PM] Faerie: (No IL, ahahahaha that'd be so scummy)
  88. [9:49 PM] Eon: ( :thinking: how long has it been since we had to spend hit die)
  89. [9:49 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Gourmand from Razmik, however, add +2 hit dice which can go over cap.
  90. [9:49 PM] Eon: (noooooo give your speech and go ree)
  91. [9:49 PM] Eon: (ahem)
  92. [9:49 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: But I don't recall the last time that Razmik activated Gourmand.
  93. [9:49 PM] Bot Fodder: (I get 42 HP, then.)
  94. [9:49 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: :smugpopo:
  95. [9:50 PM] Bot Fodder: (I guess I should spend the rest? Dunno when we next get to rest.)
  96. [9:50 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Anyhow, you gather around as Merlin conjures up small objects to play and toy with.
  97. [9:50 PM] Runic: Uhhh, I'll drink 3 of my potions of healing and see how'll that go
  98. [9:50 PM] Eon: Pause.
  99. [9:50 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Shadow is taking care of his cat, which he has since removed from Recelle's headgear slot.
  100. [9:50 PM] Eon: Show Merlin Wyvern Venom.
  101. [9:50 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Merlin studies Wyvern Venom.
  102. [9:50 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: :smugpopo:
  103. [9:51 PM] Runic: roll 6d4+6
  104. [9:51 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [6d4+6]: 2,1,4,4,4,2, Result: 23
  105. [9:51 PM] Bot Fodder: roll 3d10+9
  106. [9:51 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [3d10+9]: 4,3,3, Result: 19
  107. [9:51 PM] Faerie: (Yeah, we were topped on HD last long rest. I... I didn't know Gourmand could go over the cap, are you just fucking with me? :smugsatori:)
  108. [9:51 PM] Runic: (Alright 63/72, I'm fine with that)
  109. [9:51 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: If you have any short-recharge abilities, I recommend you to use them.
  110. [9:51 PM] Eon: "It's no Purple Wurm Venom, but it's still potent.." Esker mumbles.
  111. [9:51 PM] Eon: Esker turns into a cat, twice.
  112. [9:51 PM] Eon: :smugsatori:
  113. [9:52 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (I guess it doesn't go over the cap, my bad.jpg)
  114. [9:52 PM] Runic: (Anybody have any fricken holy water? I need to bathe my spear, was hoping Fae would be on here)
  115. [9:52 PM] Eon: Kneeling, and sprinkling incense in a circle around her like the many times she already had before.. Asking Mielikki twice in quick succession was pushing it a little, but there was no time to lose.
  116. "Your humble servant.."
  117. [9:52 PM] Eon: (ask Merlin to conjure it)
  118. [9:52 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Recelle seems a bit interested in the conjurer's magical trick, and in general the group of the non-players shares some tales.
  119. [9:52 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (It's magical item, so no, she can't.)
  120. [9:53 PM] Eon: (Holy water? Magical?)
  121. [9:53 PM] Bot Fodder: (Total: 61 HP regained, 0 HD remaining.)
  122. [9:53 PM] Eon: (Actually that makes sense)
  123. [9:53 PM] Eon: (Idk, let me check that)
  124. [9:53 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Holy water is indeed magical in nature, as is healing potions despite being made from mundane materials.)
  125. [9:53 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (If it isn't, it is now.)
  126. [9:53 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ( :smugpopo: )
  127. [9:54 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 1d20 for no reason
  128. [9:54 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20]: 12, Result: 12
  129. [9:54 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Let's proceed with rest of the short rest once you are ready.
  130. [9:54 PM] Eon: Ahem.
  131. "How will the Abyssification that will happen in up to a week as we know it, be taking place?"
  132. [9:55 PM] Bot Fodder: John pushed all his innards back in and is miraculously recovered an hour later!
  133. [9:55 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You send a prayer to Mielikki.
  134. [9:55 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Please wait warmly.)
  135. [9:56 PM] Eon: (Short resting is more likely bandaging and applying medical know how, HP isn't a direct abstraction, after all)
  136. [9:56 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Or even catching your breath.)
  137. [9:56 PM] Bot Fodder: (I-it was just a joke :sadpopo: )
  138. [9:56 PM] Eon: (ah :V)
  139. [9:58 PM] Runic: Lexon shifts around while sitting on the floor still massaging his burning muscles after the previous encounter
  140. [9:58 PM] Faerie: (Yeah, I lol'd)
  141. [9:58 PM] Faerie: (>water
  142. I'm so sorry :sadpopo:)
  143. [10:01 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Instead of a verse, you receive a cryptic omen of things to come.
  144.  
  145. It's a night sky, the one that you've come to be familiar with, the starry night sky of Orixia. There's a red, omnious glow in the sky, glowing around the mirror that hides away the Cradle of the End. And slowly, the stars are being devoured, as symbolic tendrils of darkness reaches out and swallows Orixia, which screams in pain. There's a scent of sulpher in the air, the cackling of demons, twisted, contorting... The crys of the demon are strange, as if they are screaming in pain while at it. A tortured scene of a tortured world. Tens and thousands of wings horrors, shrouded in black for the most part save for the horrific glimpse of eyes and things that are not to be, reveals themselves to be some twisted form of demons - already twisted to start with, but twisted further. Miniature suns are lit to scorch Orixia, terraforming it for what appears to be winged fungus and tendriled mouth with goat legs.
  146.  
  147. It's the vision of the end.
  148. [10:02 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: As an additional bonus, please give me a Religion(Wisdom) check, Esker.
  149. [10:02 PM] Eon: .. Do I get to Guidance this?
  150. [10:02 PM] Eon: roll 1d20+5 otherwise
  151. [10:02 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+5]: 1, Result: 6
  152. [10:02 PM] Eon: (pff, dicebot pls)
  153. [10:02 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Hahahahahaha.
  154. [10:02 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Ahem.
  155. [10:02 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: As an additional bonus, you've learned nothing in addition.
  156. [10:03 PM] Eon: Whoo!
  157. [10:03 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 1d20
  158. [10:03 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20]: 3, Result: 3
  159. [10:03 PM] Eon: Opening her eyes slowly, her expression slowly shifts grimly.
  160. [10:03 PM] Eon: "Well, fuck."
  161. [10:03 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You feel that the demons were strange, but you are stranger to demon's strangeness, and is unable to discern the strangeness to be of anything.
  162. [10:04 PM] Eon: Regardless, she will describe the vision to her compatriots. What a terrible way for the whole to end.
  163. [10:05 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 1d20
  164. [10:05 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20]: 14, Result: 14
  165. [10:05 PM] Bot Fodder: Stretching his back with a few twists, John is surprised at how much more capable he feels. It's far from comfortable, though, and he has to be careful not to reopen the worst of his wounds. He's heard stories of how those blessed by the Goddess have their injuries taken away each new dawn, given a good night's rest. He sure wishes he could do that! He looks over at Esker as she awakens from her brief trance. "That sounds pretty bad," John says with absolutely no change in his face.
  166. [10:05 PM] Eon: "... The Mother of a Thousand Y-" She cuts herself off. Names had power.
  167. [10:05 PM] Eon: As was previously established with Lolth.
  168. [10:06 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "The Mother of a Thousand Young! I read about her in the literatures." Merlin unfortunately finishes what you started. "Her true name's... Uh... Something."
  169. [10:06 PM] Runic: "Yeesh, that sounds awful man." Lexon mutters in response, still tending to his muscles
  170. [10:06 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Good thing that it's a title, a nickname of a sort, much like King in Yellow.
  171. [10:06 PM] Eon: "The Cradle had something to do with her, remember?"
  172. [10:06 PM] Eon: "We received a.. present, from her."
  173. [10:07 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "... I doubt saying her name would be a good idea either way." Shadow nods. "Much like my name, Shadow the Jager, it carrys a tremendous power when uttered."
  174. [10:07 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Talmaril stares at Shadow.
  175. [10:07 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Your name is what now?"
  176. [10:07 PM] Eon: "The power to make people groan and facepalm, maybe." Esker mutters.
  177. [10:07 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Shadow turns to Talmaril, with all the seriousness in his face. "Shadow, the Jager, the devoured of all hopes and dreams."
  178. [10:08 PM] Eon: "Don't mind him, he'll outgrow it, hopefully. I sincerely hope."
  179. [10:08 PM] Eon: Hope.
  180. [10:08 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Right, uh." Talmaril stammers. "... Sure."
  181. [10:08 PM] Eon: Even as the previous circle of incense and herbs scatter, even without any apparent wind inside the hideout, she immediately sprinkles yet another rotation of the same, in a by now practiced motion.
  182. "Forgive the intrusion again.."
  183. [10:08 PM] Runic: "Shadow the Jager" Lexon says curiously, wondering what will happen
  184. [10:08 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Tot covers his face with his paws and buries his face deep within the ground, hiding his embarassment.
  185. [10:08 PM] Bot Fodder: John scratches his head. "Does my name have special powers, too?" An imperceptible silence follows.
  186. [10:09 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Shadow struts proudly.
  187. [10:09 PM] Eon: (Do I ask if Merchane info is reliable, or whether Cradle is the catalyst of the end? It should be a y/n question)
  188. [10:09 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Augury OpieOP)
  189. [10:09 PM] Eon: (It's basically 75% augury, yeah)
  190. [10:10 PM] Eon: GM, as a confirmation, 'glowing around the mirror that hides away the Cradle of the End' means the sky is entirely red, but the 'mirror' is otherwise what would be normal night sky?
  191. [10:10 PM] Bot Fodder: (Imagine that dream happening to the personification of Orixia next time Esker sleeps :smugpopo: )
  192. [10:11 PM] Eon: Like, is there a patch of black in the sky of red?
  193. [10:11 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Not as far as that, more like a ring of light in a patch of "normal" sky.
  194. [10:11 PM] Eon: Like a eclipse?
  195. [10:11 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Ring of molten, twisted red light.
  196. [10:11 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Sorta, yeah!
  197. [10:11 PM] Bot Fodder: John stares up at the mirror, beginning to resemble an eclipse. "... I think the moon got closer."
  198. [10:11 PM] Eon: Alright.
  199. [10:12 PM] Eon: "Is the moon in the sky, the Cradle as we know it, the catalyst for the Abyssification?"
  200. [10:13 PM] Eon: (please don't roll 25% into cabbage)
  201. [10:13 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: What does the word "Catalyst" mean, in Common?
  202. [10:13 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Clarify it more so I can give a more accurate or more random answer.
  203. [10:14 PM] Eon: An object/person important for an event to truly happen, like a lynchpin or cornerstone
  204. [10:14 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Catalyst can mean for a thing that sets things in motion without itself being affected, the latter point being important.)
  205. [10:15 PM] Eon: (that's the chemistry one!)
  206. [10:15 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "It's not the only Catalyst. She is the Mother, and the demon's seed the Father, to the Thousand Youngs."
  207. [10:16 PM] Eon: "Well, fuck." Esker opens her eyes again.
  208. [10:16 PM] Eon: She'll relay that too, of course.
  209. [10:16 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (That was exceptionally kind. I could've said "Inconclusive.")
  210. [10:17 PM] Eon: (incredibly, the scope was y/n)
  211. [10:17 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Merlin thinks for a moment.
  212. [10:17 PM] Bot Fodder: Esker opens her eyes to see the nondescript guard sitting with legs folded, watching her intently. "A... demon's seed? Who's a Father?"
  213. [10:17 PM] Eon: "E-Err." Esker startles at the sudden looming figure of John.
  214. [10:18 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Shadow... Turns red.
  215. [10:18 PM] Eon: "I'm not sure.."
  216. [10:18 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Tot glares at Shadow for a moment, before planting his face into his cat paws.
  217. [10:18 PM] Eon: "Regardless, the Cradle. Wait. Is it a literal Cradle? Was no one actually being figurative?"
  218. [10:18 PM] Eon: Esker facepalms.
  219. [10:18 PM] Eon: "Anyway."
  220. [10:19 PM] Runic: Lexon starts to wonder if it was a bad idea to say his full title, "Uhh, Shadow?"
  221. [10:19 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The name "Cradle of the End" may have been more accurate than the one who named it intended.
  222. [10:19 PM] Eon: "We have to do something about it. We were already going to do so, but that more or less confirms it."
  223. [10:19 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Recelle pinches Shadow's eartip, and twists softly. Shadow yelps in pain.
  224. [10:19 PM] Eon: "... But how."
  225. [10:19 PM] Bot Fodder: John has a hard time looming; he tends to look rather smaller than he really is. But he is, at least, being quite serious. "Well, I guess the choice of name wasn't just for the bards. But the part about the Father sounds important. It means the moon is just one of two pieces needed to end the world."
  226. [10:19 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Nephelle pauses, and thinks.
  227. [10:20 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Demon's seed?"
  228. [10:20 PM] Eon: "We can't reach that within the week, can we? It sounds like its on the edge of the plane."
  229. [10:20 PM] Eon: "... Demon? Baku? Oh no."
  230. [10:20 PM] Bot Fodder: (Sidenote on crypticness: Father = definitively masculine. "King" = definitively masculine.)(edited)
  231. [10:21 PM] Eon: A slow look of horror creeps up her visage, as she imagines the worst to come.
  232. [10:21 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Wait, but the events in Orixia has already happened, so to speak." Nephelle corrects the train of thoughts. "The Dream-Eater Demon is a newborn demon."
  233. [10:21 PM] Eon: "Mmm. Right." Esker breathes a sigh of relief.
  234. [10:22 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "I am unsure if the timeline matches up, though it's proper to be paranoid." Nephelle says, gently. "There are plenty of active demons, but..."
  235. [10:22 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Whlie Nephelle can think of a thousand names, she's unable to place the answer; There's something missing still, for her to make any educated guess.
  236. [10:22 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "If it's a demon, can't we just kill it?" Shadow offers the simple solution.
  237. [10:23 PM] Bot Fodder: After a thoughtful lapse into the background, John asks, "Could it be related to that 'King' we talked about?"(edited)
  238. [10:23 PM] Eon: "Lets go smite the moon. Sure." Esker snorts.
  239. [10:23 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "... Wellll." Recells rolls her eyes.
  240. [10:23 PM] Eon: "Regardless, it seems we can affect the Mother but not the 'Father', given the information we have to work on."
  241. [10:24 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Elly mentioned that?"
  242. [10:24 PM] Bot Fodder: (Further note: reproductive themes + "that" Spear. :thinking: )
  243. [10:24 PM] Bot Fodder: (Fuck, was it Elly, I can't remember)
  244. [10:24 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (It wasn't.)
  245. [10:24 PM] Eon: (King was goblins)
  246. [10:24 PM] Eon: (that we resed into npcs)
  247. [10:24 PM] Runic: "What do you mean well Recelle? There's something more to than just punching a demon to death?" Lexon asks, ignorant to this topic, among many others
  248. [10:25 PM] Bot Fodder: (I-I'll change the name)
  249. [10:25 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "You can't simply just kill a demon that you don't know exists or not." Recelle nods.
  250. [10:25 PM] Eon: "Demons don't die when they'll killed." Esker nods.
  251. [10:25 PM] Eon: "On the Material Plane, at least. I think."
  252. [10:25 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "We have a name for it... Schrodinger's Demon, I think." Recelle jests.
  253. [10:26 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Recelle's likely lying between her breaths.
  254. [10:26 PM] Bot Fodder: John lets out a laugh, then quickly apologizes. That word sounded funny, though!
  255. [10:26 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Shadow, however, is listening intently.
  256. [10:26 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: His eyes spark with inspirations.
  257. [10:26 PM] Eon: "Anyhow." Esker dusts herself from the admittedly fragant pile of incense.
  258. "We have more immediate concerns." She glances at Nephelle.
  259. [10:27 PM] Eon: "What do we know about Atlach-Nacha, anyway? Beyond their title."
  260. [10:27 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Well, we have some time still." Nephelle says. "If I can be of service..."
  261. [10:27 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Atlach-Nacha?
  262. [10:27 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Hm.
  263. [10:28 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Not much record seem to exist in the multiverse for some reason about the said creature. Give me an Arcane check.
  264. [10:28 PM] Eon: Slapping self with Guidance for this one.
  265. [10:28 PM] Eon: roll 1d20+1
  266. [10:28 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+1]: 2, Result: 3
  267. [10:28 PM] Eon: Nevermind.
  268. [10:28 PM] Eon: (I love you too dice bot)
  269. [10:28 PM] Bot Fodder: John frowns and pushes to his feet. "Right. We may have to worry about this later. Neph will be in trouble if we don't deal with the you-know-what first!"
  270. [10:28 PM] Eon: roll 1d4 in case DC 5
  271. [10:28 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d4]: 4, Result: 4
  272. [10:28 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The name is strange to you, Esker.
  273. [10:29 PM] Eon: Indeed. The naming sense is.. unfamiliar, at best.
  274. [10:29 PM] Eon: Not to mention anything beyond that, of course.
  275. [10:29 PM] Eon: Esker nods to Nephelle. What did she have in mind?
  276. [10:30 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Nephelle tilts her head, puzzled. She's unsure what she can do, really. "Uh... I guess I can tell you what I know about the artifact that we seek to... What was the thing we needed to do?"
  277. [10:31 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Right, destroy it." Nephelle nods.
  278.  
  279. [10:41 PM] Eon: "I'm not a druid of the Circle of Twilight, unfortunately. Those folks are always crazy about killing undead."
  280. [10:42 PM] Eon: "Well, /a/ Circle of Twilight."
  281. [10:42 PM] Runic: "But whatever, we've had to deal with undead before without him... I think..." Lexon says scrunching up his face a bit, trying to remember. Not the best memory Lexon has.(edited)
  282. [10:42 PM] Eon: "It's complicated, ok?"
  283. [10:42 PM] Bot Fodder: "Is it?" John thought 'Druids that want to kill undead' was pretty straightforward.
  284. [10:43 PM] Bot Fodder: "Anyway... I think I'm ready as I'll get." The guard checks his equipment one last time, then nods to the others.
  285. [10:43 PM] Eon: "No it's not that, per se, they are many seperate factions, circles, it's basically a glorified political mess."
  286. [10:44 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Wait, druids do politics?" Talmaril seems surprised.
  287. [10:44 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "I thought you guys just... No, nevermind."
  288. [10:44 PM] Eon: (As far as Freedom of Movement goes, we should give it to the melees, I think.)
  289. [10:44 PM] Bot Fodder: "Huh. I guess even Druids do that kind of thing..." John says sullenly.(edited)
  290. [10:44 PM] Eon: "I know, I thought so too four decades ago." Esker sighs, wistful.
  291. [10:45 PM] Eon: (That would make that John and Lexon, and maybe Tal?)
  292. [10:45 PM] Bot Fodder: (What about herself?)
  293. [10:45 PM] Eon: (She can deal with restrained)
  294. [10:45 PM] Eon: (by just going 'lol casting spells anyway')
  295. [10:45 PM] Bot Fodder: (I guess she could also turn into a spider? :thinking:)
  296. [10:45 PM] Eon: (paralyse might be nasty enough)
  297. [10:46 PM] Eon: (to want to just Freedom all PCs)
  298. [10:46 PM] Eon: (yeah that sounds good)
  299. [10:46 PM] Eon: (rather not die to paralyse again)
  300. [10:46 PM] Runic: (lol, sounds good)(edited)
  301. [10:46 PM] Eon: Alright, lets go.
  302. [10:47 PM] Eon: Casting Freedom of Movement on all currently present PCs, effective for an hour.
  303. [10:47 PM] Eon:
  304.  
  305. [10:47 PM] Eon: for reference.
  306. [10:47 PM] Bot Fodder: :thumbsup:
  307. [10:47 PM] Eon: (basically 'can't stop, won't stop', go wild)
  308. [10:47 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Alright.
  309. [10:47 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The group then advance back to the Temple of Lolth?
  310. [10:47 PM] Eon: Mhm.
  311. [10:48 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Taking all present company with you?
  312. [10:48 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Alright.
  313. [10:48 PM] Bot Fodder: Oh, one last thing!
  314. [10:48 PM] Eon: (I worry a little about npcs, but hmm. We are undermanned as is)
  315. [10:48 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Back in the Temple of Lolth, it seems to be a tad bit more foreboding than previous, as you've incured the wrath of the Spider Queen.
  316. [10:48 PM] Bot Fodder: John gains Inspiration from his Blessing to use later, while we're still outdoors.
  317. [10:48 PM] Eon: Aren't we like.. Underground.
  318. [10:49 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Unfortunately, in the underground, there is no moonlight.
  319. [10:49 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You've rested within the drow city, in the previous hideout that you've created together.
  320. [10:49 PM] Eon: (Do I short rest change spells? Hmm.)
  321. [10:49 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Going back to the surface is a tad bit more complicated.
  322. [10:49 PM] Bot Fodder: (Ah, I thought we returned above or something for a bit. Never mind.)
  323. [10:49 PM] Eon: (might need to moonbeam for inspiration spam)
  324. [10:49 PM] Eon: (not like I would get to walk into my own moonbeam to gain it)
  325. [10:50 PM] Eon: (I suppose it's a nice to have, for now. Let's go.)
  326. [10:50 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The temple is quiet.
  327. [10:50 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Nephelle seems a bit more nervous than she was.
  328. [10:50 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "This way." She whispers, then wonder for a moment why she's whispering.
  329. [10:51 PM] Bot Fodder: John silently puts a hand on the girl's shoulder and walks onward. It's quiet, and he's fine with keeping it that way for now.
  330. [10:51 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... She takes the group down into the chamber, the Spider Stone Golem still on the floor, deanimated.
  331. [10:51 PM] Eon: Esker puts her hand on Nephelle's sho-
  332. [10:51 PM] Runic: (awkward)
  333. [10:51 PM] Eon: Thankfully, most people come with two shoulders!
  334. [10:51 PM] Bot Fodder: (I win)
  335. [10:51 PM] Eon: She does so anyway.
  336. [10:51 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Nephelle turns to look at you two strangely, indicating that it's hard to walk this way for her.
  337. [10:52 PM] Eon: "Ah. Well." Esker relents.
  338. [10:52 PM] Eon: Hard to walk? Needs more Freedom of Movement.
  339. [10:52 PM] Bot Fodder: "Whoops, sorry."
  340. [10:52 PM] Eon: Step like the wind, move like the gale..
  341. [10:52 PM] Runic: Lexon casually keeps walking, not to sure what to make out of his two comrades grabbing Nephelles shoulders... at the same time(edited)
  342. [10:52 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Back in the storage room, there's a cache that opens up a set of doors that seem to lead down...
  343. [10:53 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... The air rising from down underneath is ripe with the stench of the long forgotten dead.
  344. [10:53 PM] Eon: "Not the first time we had to dead with undead." Esker states simply.
  345. [10:53 PM] Eon: "We are sort of inured, even."
  346. [10:53 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: A spider crawls out, from the door, scuttering off.
  347. [10:53 PM] Runic: Lexon looks around, making sure theres no traps, or anything suspicious
  348. [10:53 PM] Eon: Esker takes a shot at it.
  349. [10:53 PM] Eon: No point risking a spy.
  350. [10:54 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The mundane spider would squish easily underneath your attack.
  351. [10:54 PM] Eon: (with Starbow)
  352. [10:54 PM] Eon: "..." Esker shrugs. "Oh well."
  353. [10:54 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Underneath the door is a flight of stairs, stone in nature, as is much of everything in the underground.
  354. [10:54 PM] Bot Fodder: John almost steps on it, but... better not to lose a foot. Besides, who knows what could alert you-know-who.
  355. [10:54 PM] Eon: (does Lexon have Stonecunning as an honorary dorf)
  356. [10:55 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Shadow holds out a light, for good measure.
  357. [10:55 PM] Bot Fodder: John proceeds by torchlight, lacking vision in pitch blackness.
  358. [10:55 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Talmaril offers to hold torches and the like for others.
  359. [10:55 PM] Bot Fodder: That works too.
  360. [10:55 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: .. He can tell that this is beyond his challenge rating.
  361. [10:55 PM] Eon: (>Holding torch
  362. > sasuga Hireling)
  363. [10:55 PM] Eon: (but think of all the xp, Tal!)
  364. [10:56 PM] Bot Fodder: (No, we're not sharing with him! :smugpopo: )
  365. [10:56 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Jokes aside, you descend down the flight of stairs...
  366. [10:56 PM] Runic: (Lexon is but a human, raised by dorfs, only thing in his blood is a pretty high alcohol content)
  367. [10:56 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... It goes down... And down... And down. For a good solid two minutes, it's just stairs going down into the darkness. Lexon's checking for trap, albeit loosely.
  368. [10:56 PM] Eon: "Should I summon Nul? Hmm." Esker muses.
  369. [10:57 PM] Eon: Esker keeps an eye out, of course.
  370. [10:57 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: At the end, there's a small chamber with urns all around, as well as three stone doors, each closed with inscriptions on them.
  371. [10:57 PM] Runic: "Everything seems fine so far" Lexon comments
  372. [10:57 PM] Eon: And has Guidance plastered to herself as neccessary.
  373. [10:57 PM] Eon: What are they written in?
  374. [10:57 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Elven - and of Drow dialect.
  375. [10:59 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: There are three doors.
  376. The one to the left has the inscrptions of "To honor the dead, call upon Her name."
  377. The one to the middle has the inscription of "To remember the dead, be true to your blood."
  378. The one to the right has the inscrption of "To call upon the dead, rest your hands."
  379. [10:59 PM] Eon: ... Esker will translate, for the benefit of the rest.(edited)
  380. [10:59 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Each of the stone doors are tightly shut, with no visible doorknob or lock.
  381. [10:59 PM] Bot Fodder: John throws up his arms. "I'm lost."
  382. [11:00 PM] Eon: "Say You-know-who's name, cut yourself, and.."
  383. [11:00 PM] Runic: Lexon looks at the Esker and back at the doors, "Not a fan of riddles, can we just... kick one of the doors down?"(edited)
  384. [11:00 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Shadow's eyes glint. He fucking love puzzles.
  385. [11:00 PM] Eon: "Literally put your hands on a door?"
  386. [11:00 PM] Eon: Esker tilts her head.
  387. [11:00 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Recelle smacks her forehead. She fucking hate puzzles.
  388. [11:00 PM] Bot Fodder: "Let's not say her name... that sounds like an alarm trick," says John, having learned his lesson.
  389. [11:00 PM] Eon: ... "Did Elly ever tell us where we needed to go?"
  390. [11:00 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Kicking the door down is certain possible, yes, Lexon.
  391.  
  392. [11:08 PM] Bot Fodder: "Like a platform that goes up or down on a corkscrew," John says. The mechanism is vaguely familiar to him.
  393. [11:08 PM] Eon: The spark of the void strains against the Materal Plane, as it swells and expands into the familiar sight of Nul.
  394. [11:08 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: WIth the door open, and what little light you have to offer the darkness, a barren landscape of a cave complex lies before you.
  395. [11:08 PM] Runic: "Seems cool, sounds like the pulley systems we have in the mines back home"
  396. [11:08 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: There are graves, of gravestone form and of small shrines with casks.
  397. [11:08 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: This is the necropolis of the drows.
  398. [11:09 PM] Bot Fodder: John blinks. "Uh, yeah, I guess just using ropes would be more practical, huh?"
  399. [11:09 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Shadowy, translucent figures seem to hide, as they spot your torchlight.
  400. [11:09 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Hauntingly beautiful whimpers come from them.
  401. [11:10 PM] Bot Fodder: John smooths his motions naturally, sweeping the torch side to side as he turns about, as if to test the shadows being cast.
  402. [11:10 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: One wails, terrified of the light, "Extinguish the light.... Close it...."
  403. [11:10 PM] Eon: "Hmm. Is this the right one or.. No matter, it looks alright enough. Let's go." Esker hesitates a bit at the sight of figures in the distance. Hmm. Well, not like they were going to get anything done hollering at them.
  404. [11:10 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Do you advance, ignoring their plea?
  405. [11:10 PM] Runic: Lexon unstraps the Spear of Destiny from his back and dawns it in preperation to come
  406. [11:10 PM] Eon: Esker can operate without Light, but..
  407. [11:10 PM] Eon: The /humans/ can't.
  408. [11:10 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Shadow looks at the group for confirmation on what to do.
  409. [11:11 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Nephelle frowns.
  410. [11:11 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "... That's a banshee girl."
  411. [11:11 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "... They are all banshees."
  412. [11:11 PM] Eon: Esker frowns. That was problematic.
  413. [11:11 PM] Eon: "I have an idea."
  414. [11:11 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The cavern is large, mind you - we are talking about 300 - 500 ft wide cavern that stretches on.
  415. [11:12 PM] Bot Fodder: "Whatever they're going to do, it would be worse in the dark," John says, taking some spare bandage and stuffing his ears under his helmet.
  416. [11:12 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: This is a huge pocket of underground, smaller than the city about, but still very sizable, enough for a small city.
  417. [11:12 PM] Eon: "Extinguish your lighs. Let the shooting stars guide our path." Well, Esker was being melodramatic. She could just Dancing Lights.
  418. [11:12 PM] Eon: Via the Ring of Shooting Stars.
  419. [11:12 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Shadow seems torn on the opinion.
  420. [11:12 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Recelle seems uneasy about banshees.
  421. [11:13 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Talmaril cringes.
  422. [11:13 PM] Eon: The dimmer light shouldn't disturb them as much, anyway.
  423. [11:13 PM] Eon: They likely aren't hostile if we don't rile them with light? Hopefully?
  424. [11:13 PM] Bot Fodder: "...Also, you guys might want to plug your ears, too." John thanks Neph for the tip. After that one time, he doesn't much care for Banshees.
  425. [11:13 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "... How do other drows do it, just go without lights? You can't read writings that way, though." Merlin asks many questions.
  426. [11:13 PM] Eon: Esker stares at Merlin.
  427. [11:13 PM] Eon: "Right. Human." Esker nods.
  428. [11:14 PM] Runic: Lexon sighs, as the comfort of light vanishes, and only left with what is faint lights form from Eskers spell(edited)
  429. [11:14 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "I honestly don't know - My position here is as an extra, almost." Nephelle confesses. "Don't know how the locals work."
  430. [11:14 PM] Eon: Dancing Lights to trace a path, going around any banshees.
  431. [11:14 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... As you dim your light, you hear the whimpers die.
  432. [11:14 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... And a flourscent, dim light shines.
  433. [11:14 PM] Eon: Four of them at a time, even!
  434. [11:14 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The whole cavern comes alive, with a blue moss.
  435. [11:15 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It seems that there are photosensitive moss grown in the region, that provides their own light.
  436. [11:15 PM] Eon: Hmm. Esker scoops some up.
  437. [11:15 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Nature check, Esker, if you are interested in the moss.
  438. [11:15 PM] Eon: roll 1d20+9
  439. [11:15 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+9]: 14, Result: 23
  440. [11:15 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You can keep any sample you wish, obviously.
  441. [11:15 PM] Eon: roll 1d4
  442. [11:15 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d4]: 2, Result: 2
  443. [11:16 PM] Eon: Granny Barm taught her well.
  444. [11:16 PM] Bot Fodder: John keeps the unlit torch on-hand, eyes rapidly adjusting to the ghastly glow. But he is aware, first and foremost, for threats.
  445. [11:16 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It's the Gravekeeper Moss, an uncommon moss that grows only underground, popular on graves. They have the side effect of glowing in the dark...
  446. [11:16 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: .. but their primary effect is, their dim blue light calms undeads around them, rendering them more peaceful.
  447. [11:16 PM] Eon: "Curious." Esker notes.
  448. [11:16 PM] Eon: Very useful.
  449. [11:17 PM] Runic: Lexon takes out some spare gauzes from a healer's kit he has on hand and plugs up his ears just in case
  450. [11:17 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Intellgent undead may choose to resist the effect, and may become immune given long term exposure.
  451. [11:17 PM] Bot Fodder: ... Are Banshees inherently intelligent?
  452. [11:17 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: However, it seems that the banshees are happy enough, content in the dim blue light that basks them.
  453. [11:17 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Banshees are indeed intelligent.
  454. [11:17 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: However, this acts as a Calm Emotion spell that targets and only works on Undeads.
  455. [11:18 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The Banshees, perpentually in jealousy, hatred, and pain, can only find their peace with the moss's light. They chose to fail the save.
  456. [11:18 PM] Eon: Esker dedicates a whole pouch to the moss, actually. It might become relevant really soon.
  457. [11:19 PM] Eon: How many pouches does Esker have on her person? Enough.
  458. [11:19 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Should you wish to continue on... You walk on a cobbled path, obviously of manmade origin.
  459. [11:19 PM] Eon: "This place is awfully peaceful considering what we're here for.."
  460. [11:19 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: This is the primary site, though Nephelle seems to be scanning around, disappointed in her find. "I don't find anything that resembles what Elly said. She said it would be 'obvious', but didn't tell me in detail..."
  461. [11:20 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... The party continues on.
  462. [11:20 PM] Bot Fodder: John, no longer using his torch, straps on his old shield, still emblazoned with the Armsdale emblem. He holds his morningstar in his other hand.(edited)
  463. [11:20 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The group comes upon a small group of ghouls, who murmurs between themselves, looking at the party for a moment. Dark Elven ghouls, it seems, though impeccably dressed in finery.
  464. [11:21 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: They give the elven ladies in the group friendly bows, as you pass by.
  465. [11:21 PM] Eon: Esker.. nods in response.
  466. [11:21 PM] Eon: Hey, she had seen a polite hag by now.
  467. [11:21 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Like, tuxedo, and the whole get-up.)
  468. [11:21 PM] Bot Fodder: John guesses only the well-off drow are burried here. He keeps his shield facing them, but will pass peacfully if they don't approach.
  469. [11:22 PM] Eon: (top hat and monocle included?)
  470. [11:22 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You pass by others, of various forms of undead. Mostly of lowly nature, from wights to wraiths, specters to ghouls...
  471. [11:22 PM] Bot Fodder: (This is SO Dark Souls :smugpopo: )
  472. [11:22 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Most of them only seem to look at the party, and giving some polite nods without much will to interact with you.
  473. [11:23 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It feels as if this is the land of the dead, and you are in another nightmare, a stranger realm.
  474. [11:23 PM] Bot Fodder: Unsurprising. John doubts the dream demon holds sway in this place.
  475. [11:23 PM] Eon: "Call me cynical, but I have a suspicion given you-know-who's disposition, they are basically being stored here."
  476. [11:23 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You may converse with someone, or you may continue on in silence, or you may turn your torchlight back on, or whatnot.
  477. [11:24 PM] Bot Fodder: The torch stays off. John don't want no trouble.
  478. [11:24 PM] Eon: "Placated by the moss. But y'know."
  479. [11:24 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Maybe, I wouldn't be surprised." Talmaril comments.
  480. [11:24 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ".... Oh, there's no storing for us."
  481. [11:24 PM] Eon: "I'm not sure if asking around is a great idea, but hmm. We might be going down the wrong path."
  482. [11:24 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: A voice whispers. A wraith turns to look at Esker for a moment, his head disembodied.
  483. [11:25 PM] Runic: Lexon will continues on, silently, still proccesing the bizare enviornment the party is in, filled with nothing but the dead aside form themselves at this point
  484. [11:25 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "We do not wish to leave. That is not our way. We reject the way of the gods." He says, calmly.
  485. [11:25 PM] Eon: "Hmm. We might be going the wrong way, after all. What can you tell us about the doors from earlier?"
  486. [11:26 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "This is our paradise eternal. No more hate. No more betrayal. Only peaceful, eternal rest." He explains, in a whisper.
  487. [11:26 PM] Eon: She'll bow and offer her name, of course.
  488. [11:26 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... He would be more animated and chattering faster, if he's not in a state of calm.
  489. [11:26 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You have a sense you've come across a chatterbox.
  490. [11:27 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "I am sure glad that Razmik isn't with us for now. I think I"ll be singing a different tune by the end of the night, but hey..." Shadow chuckles.
  491. [11:27 PM] Bot Fodder: John stops to regard one of the undead at last, turning toward the the ghostly figure.
  492. [11:28 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... Anyways, what do you do? The wraith won't linger too much, if you chose to ignore him, from the look of things.
  493. [11:28 PM] Eon: "He acts irrationally towards the undead, but I doubt to this degree.." Esker will also note the scale and size.
  494. [11:28 PM] Eon: I asked him a question already >.>
  495. [11:28 PM] Bot Fodder: (Reject the gods, eh? No wonder they're glad to be here... If what happens to the Faithless after death in FR vidya is any sign.)
  496. [11:28 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The warith does not answer.
  497. [11:28 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It seems taht he doesn't know the answer, from the look on his head.
  498. [11:28 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Face.
  499. [11:28 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Thing.
  500. [11:28 PM] Eon: "Anything else noteworthy here?"(edited)
  501. [11:29 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: He points forward, down the path. "A small shrine, for the keeper."
  502. [11:29 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "The keeper is an angry man, mad about his role."
  503. [11:29 PM] Bot Fodder: "If you don't follow the gods, why is this place beneath a temple?" John asks, bearing a surprising lack of resentment.
  504. [11:29 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "...?"
  505. [11:29 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: He doesn't seem to understand or be able to process the information for a moment.
  506. [11:30 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "... Temple?"
  507. [11:30 PM] Bot Fodder: John takes the silence for an answer. The temple might've been built long after this catacomb. Sounds like something the Spider Queen would do to control her dissidents.
  508.  
  509. [11:38 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: No, like "a doorway" portal.
  510. [11:38 PM] Bot Fodder: (Oh.)
  511. [11:38 PM] Eon: Well, they wouldn't need to knock, at least.
  512. [11:38 PM] Eon: Esker peers her head in, trying to get a better look.
  513. [11:38 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The shrine seems to be the study of some unknown creature... Skulls and bones scattered around, dry and mostly damaged.
  514. [11:38 PM] Bot Fodder: John looks for something that might show what the temple is dedicated to, exactly. If not a god, then what?
  515. [11:38 PM] Eon: ... Guidance, as always, if needed.
  516. [11:39 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It's a large area, with laboratory equipments, scattered notes, a small library, and the like.
  517. [11:39 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: There are treasures scattered around as well.
  518. [11:39 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It's messy.
  519. [11:40 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Standing before you is a 80 by 80 ft room, that's just a complete mess of a place.
  520. [11:40 PM] Eon: "Hello?" Esker deigns to finally call out, in Elvish.
  521. [11:40 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... Something stirs.
  522. [11:40 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... A robed figure, gaunt and skeletal in appearance, with a layer of translucent skin, stands.
  523. [11:40 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "... You are not supposed to be here."
  524. [11:41 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Talmaril is shakened, in fear.
  525. [11:41 PM] Eon: Eh. They had seen worse. They have seen Orcus, for crying out loud!
  526. [11:41 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You've seen worse, and you've seen similar.
  527. [11:42 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: This is a Lich, of dark elven origin.
  528. [11:42 PM] Bot Fodder: John remember that. Orcus was pretty.
  529. [11:42 PM] Eon: "Well, no, but.." Esker trails off, how would they go about explaining 'well we want to smash a summoning circle, please.'
  530. [11:42 PM] Runic: "Well we're not suppose to be in many places," Lexon mutters, "but we're here anyway." Lexon continues shrugging a bit, Spear of Destiny on hand(edited)
  531. [11:42 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "And you are not supposed to be here." He sighs, flustered.
  532. [11:42 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Look, what if I banish you back to your home and we just pretend we don't have to do anything else here?" He offers, seemingly reasonable in a mad way.
  533. [11:43 PM] Eon: "Apologies for intruding, but we've come in seach of.." Esker attempts to explain what they were looking for.
  534. [11:43 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Nephelle blinks, lettin the adults do the talking.
  535. [11:43 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Shadow stands up, seeming as people have trouble communicating.
  536. [11:43 PM] Eon: Oh god no.
  537. [11:43 PM] Bot Fodder: "Excuse us, sir. We have the wrong place. We were looking for something else," explains John, respectfully. "Where are the ones who follow the Spider Queen burried?"(edited)
  538. [11:44 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Recelle quickly restrains Shadow, before the worst can happen happens.
  539. [11:44 PM] Eon: "We're looking for a summoning circle of sorts!" Esker interrupts before Shadow gets to
  540. [11:44 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Nobody follows the bitch, they don't get buried." The lich says with a shrug.
  541. [11:44 PM] Eon: "A ring of graves." Esker adds.
  542. [11:44 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "I mean, they do, but I dig their bodies up."
  543. [11:45 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "I know you are, but what about me?" The lich answers Esker.
  544. [11:45 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The lich seems to mutter, not entirely sane in his dealing.
  545. [11:45 PM] Eon: Err. Esker blinks. Hmm.
  546. [11:46 PM] Eon: ... Was there Gravekeeper Moss on the floor..?
  547. [11:46 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: No.
  548. [11:46 PM] Bot Fodder: Jonh thinks about this. "Well, maybe she would if she wants to get summoned? There's supposed to be a summoning circle in the tombs somewhere down here."
  549. [11:46 PM] Eon: (Hmm. What do? A lich is definitely /intelligent/ undead.)
  550. [11:46 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "...?" The lich looks up at the strange group of visitors.
  551. [11:46 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Look.. You are not supposed to be here." The lich tries to explain.
  552. [11:47 PM] Runic: "Well, I assume your job is to protect his place and prevent people from going further in right?" Lexon asks(edited)
  553. [11:47 PM] Bot Fodder: John sighs. "Right. Sorry. We can leave the way we came."
  554. [11:47 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "No." He states.
  555. [11:47 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "... And no, I don't think you can."
  556. [11:48 PM] Eon: "What.. is it you do here, anyhow? The drow city is empty, so.."
  557. [11:48 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The lich's head bobs and nods slowly...
  558. [11:48 PM] Faerie: (Hello, what's going on in this thread?)
  559. [11:48 PM] Bot Fodder: (Eon asks questions, and I die inside.)
  560. [11:48 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "I am the elven guardian of the graves... The guardian of the dead moon known as Lune."
  561. [11:48 PM] Eon: (likely tpk to lich)
  562. [11:49 PM] Eon: Lune.. Their Spelljammer has a piece of it in there..
  563. [11:49 PM] Eon: "Forgive my ignorance, but what is there to guard? Wasn't it consumed by the Cradle?"
  564. [11:50 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "You are not going anywhere with your legs." He states. "You can walk, but the distance does not change. Why would you walk?" He sighs.
  565. [11:50 PM] Faerie: (OH SHIT, is it that kinda Lich?)
  566. [11:50 PM] Eon: (A Bel-howdoyouspellit?)
  567. [11:50 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Consumed by the Cradle?" The lich's head bobs and turns a bit, "The whole world is consumed by the Cradle."
  568. [11:50 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Baelnorn.)
  569. [11:50 PM] Bot Fodder: (I can't IC justify John knowing why being Banished would be bad :sadpopo: )
  570. [11:51 PM] Eon: Esker had a sneaking suspicion.
  571. [11:51 PM] Eon: Like Blackstar was cognisant of the Nightmare..
  572. [11:51 PM] Eon: A bit insane while at it, but hey.
  573. [11:51 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "You are not supposed to be here." The lich repeats, almost sadly.
  574. [11:53 PM] Eon: "Mmm. We are only here to find what we seek, we don't wish to disturb you otherwise, so.."
  575. [11:53 PM] Eon: "If you don't know or wish to share that information, then we'll attempt to leave peacefully."
  576. [11:53 PM] Bot Fodder: John 'hrms' to himself. "So, then you don't know how we got here? Because really, we did walk. With our legs."
  577. [11:53 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "You seek, but your eyes do not see what you need to see. You see only the past and present, but not what is yet to come." He says.
  578. [11:54 PM] Eon: "You've been through this before, haven't you?"
  579. [11:54 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Several times." The lich offers.
  580. [11:54 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "But you are not supposed to be here."
  581. [11:54 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Do you need to go home?"
  582. [11:55 PM] Eon: "We're not, and we're here to change how things went."
  583. [11:55 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "You cannot change or fight the future." The lich sighs, wistfully.
  584. [11:55 PM] Eon: ... Maybe not directly related to Nephelle, but if it could help them with the Cradle and Nightmare as a whole..
  585. [11:55 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "The future is set in the darkness. There is no changing or saving the world."
  586. [11:56 PM] Eon: "And why not?"
  587. [11:56 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "But... You are not supposd to be here..." The lich's eyesockets shine.
  588. [11:56 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "... Maybe. Maybe you can change the future."
  589. [11:56 PM] Runic: "Based on your roll we're not supposed to be here, I guess. But for us, we'll keep going, we have to if we want to get things done, or at least I hope so" Lexon chuckles, "And even you say we can't change the world, we'll sure as hell try to anyway"
  590. [11:56 PM] Eon: "Exactly. We're not supposed to be here."
  591. [11:57 PM] Eon: "We'll certainly try to change the future, as far as we know so far.."
  592. [11:57 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Come, then. You speak of the summoning circle for the bitch." He says. "Let me take you there."
  593. [11:57 PM] Eon: Pleasant. Esker looks to the rest. She'll follow.
  594. [11:57 PM] Bot Fodder: John finds this agreeable!
  595. [11:57 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: He levitates, and floats above the junk on the floor.
  596. [11:58 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: He then floats deeper into the temple.
  597. [11:58 PM] Runic: Lexon nods, following as well
  598. [11:59 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... Deeper in the mess of a temple, with evident of someone too irresponsible to keep the ground being here, there's a small carved circular room, entirely made in stone.
  599. [11:59 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Several symbolic offerings line the wall - broken amulets, taboo fetishes, dark offerings...
  600. [11:59 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: They are highly magical, all in all.
  601. [11:59 PM] Eon: ... Reminescent of Blackstar.
  602. October 15, 2017
  603. [12:00 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "This is it! I recognize this, this must be the summoning circle thing." Nephelle declares positively.
  604. [12:00 AM] Eon: "You do?" Esker glances at Nephelle surprised.
  605. [12:00 AM] Eon: "Where did you see it before?"(edited)
  606. [12:00 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Somehow. And uh... No, it forms this weird... shape." Nephelle gestures.
  607. [12:01 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: It's like she's trying to draw an octopus.
  608. [12:01 AM] Eon: "A spider?" Esker cocks an eyebrow.(edited)
  609. [12:01 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "It's a funny symbol, I remember it from somewhere."
  610. [12:01 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "No - uh, maybe!"
  611. [12:01 AM] Bot Fodder: John sighs in relief. "So, do we only need to move stuff around?"
  612. [12:01 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: The lich sighs. "I am surprised. This was not supposed to be here, either. Just like you weren't supposed to be here."
  613. [12:01 AM] Runic: "Or break it?" Lexon adds(edited)
  614.  
  615. [12:11 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "... I don't remember." The keeper professes. "Something forgettable..."
  616. [12:11 AM] Bot Fodder: "Thanks, then," John says simply.
  617. [12:12 AM] Eon: "Mmm. We haven't tried hitting the material, at any rate." Esker glances at Nul. It was dangerous, but..
  618. [12:12 AM] Bot Fodder: John lacks magic knowhow, but he does his best to conduct a thorough investigation. He may be able to figure how this 'circle' is set up, and how to... un-set it.
  619. [12:12 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: The elemental wouldn't mind doing so with a command.
  620. [12:12 AM] Faerie: (What's Blan B?)
  621. [12:12 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (One moment, washroom)
  622. [12:12 AM] Eon: "Have you done anything else with the circle, Grave?"
  623. [12:13 AM] Bot Fodder: (Summon the other very slightly less dickish Drow god.)
  624. [12:13 AM] Faerie: (Wew, it's gonna get necrosed)
  625. [12:13 AM] Eon: (Nul is necrotic aligned, anyway)
  626. [12:13 AM] Runic: (Plan B is calling Vhaerun or whatever and stopping the summoning circle)(edited)
  627. [12:14 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Back.)
  628. [12:16 AM] Runic: "So Grave, do you know how's this summoning circle thingy suppose to work?"
  629. [12:16 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: The keeper studies the circle a bit.
  630. [12:16 AM] Eon: (ffs Fae, you might as well jump in)
  631. [12:16 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "... Different field of study."
  632. [12:17 AM] Eon: "If only I could call in a friend who's an expert on this.."
  633. [12:17 AM] Faerie: (Vhaeraun's portfolio and domains don't really strike me as all that CE. I guess it's because he's still Drow as hell, heh)
  634. [12:17 AM] Eon: Wait. There's a conjurer behind them.
  635. [12:17 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (He's still drow as fuck, but the past few editions he's been mellowing out)
  636. [12:17 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Might just be him faking it)
  637. [12:17 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: ...
  638. [12:17 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: RIGHT
  639. [12:17 AM] Bot Fodder: (It's because he's racist. :V )
  640. [12:17 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: FUCK
  641. [12:17 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: WAIT
  642. [12:17 AM] Mizuki: (Poof! Alicia is in the scene!)
  643. [12:17 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: ASHITNKELGK
  644. [12:17 AM] Eon: Slapping her back and pushing her towards the circle with Guidance.
  645. [12:17 AM] Faerie: (I'll be gone within the hour, sorry! Taking it easy, DnD requires focus)
  646. [12:17 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: RIGHT THERES A FUCKING CONJURER
  647. [12:17 AM] Runic: ( o-o )
  648. [12:17 AM] Eon: (hue)
  649. [12:17 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Merlin steps up.
  650. [12:18 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Well!"
  651. [12:18 AM] Bot Fodder: (Ahaha~)
  652. [12:18 AM] Eon: (STEP UP, BITCH)
  653. [12:18 AM] Runic: (Eon is a genious)
  654. [12:18 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Well Well Well!"
  655. [12:18 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: She studies the teleportation circle. If you can even call it that...
  656. [12:18 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "... This is very much divine in nature, and completely booby trapped. Eesh, who made this thing?!"
  657. [12:18 AM] Mizuki: Alicia falls asleep and wakes up in the dream realm once again. (Is this keeper guy the lich?)
  658. [12:18 AM] Eon: (yep)
  659. [12:19 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Ayep, with translucent skin and skeletons beneath.)
  660. [12:19 AM] Eon: (it's totally notkoga with his totallynotmessyhouse)
  661. [12:19 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (he's a jelly skeleton.jpg)
  662. [12:19 AM] Eon: "Trapped? How so?"
  663. [12:19 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Merlin grumbles. "Anyways, uh, I can take a look into disabling this thing permanently."
  664. [12:19 AM] Eon: "That would be perfect." Esker nods.
  665. [12:20 AM] Bot Fodder: John gives a thumbs up.
  666. [12:20 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Oh, that's simple. Those who strike at it with a weapon gets their soul swapped into one of those amulet type of thing..."
  667. [12:20 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: ".. Those who strikes it with a spell goes in there..."
  668. [12:20 AM] Mizuki: She turns to Raz and gives him a poke with her elbow. - "What's going on around here?" - Whispered the girl confused.(edited)
  669. [12:20 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "... And there's ward targetting aberrations as well."
  670. [12:20 AM] Bot Fodder: It looks like someone else wasn't supposed to be here, too! :ok_hand:
  671. [12:20 AM] Eon: Thankfully no smashing.
  672. [12:21 AM] Eon: "Alicia, where are you poking?"
  673. [12:21 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Oh hey, cool! There's contingency for dispelling as well."
  674. [12:21 AM] Eon: "..." Esker thanks herself for her prudence.
  675. [12:21 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Merlin enters full nerd mode, exclaiming at the marvel of a trap this whole thing is.
  676. [12:21 AM] Eon: "W-what was the contigency for dispelling?"
  677. [12:21 AM] Bot Fodder: John fills Alicia in off to the side in a quiet voice.
  678. [12:21 AM] Faerie: (D'aww, does she miss Raz that much? :smugsatori:)
  679. [12:21 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Take a wild guess! This is awesome."
  680. [12:21 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Whoever made this must really hate people."
  681. [12:21 AM] Eon: "Err, death, pain, damning of my eternal soul?"
  682. [12:22 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Mostly the last part." Merlin nods.
  683. [12:22 AM] Mizuki: She actually poked Esker, that's right.
  684. [12:22 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "The souls are used to power this thing, actually, and the more souls the more likely it'll fire."
  685. [12:22 AM] Eon: "Great." As if dying once wasn't enough already.
  686. [12:22 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: The keeper seems deep in thoughts.
  687. [12:22 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "... So that's why they had a lot of small animals."
  688. [12:23 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... The keeper turns around. "One moment, those who are not supposed to be here."
  689. [12:23 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... moments later, the keeper returns, with a heap of bags on a Floating Disk.
  690. [12:23 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "You ... May have those."
  691. [12:24 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... The keeper goes on to explain how he found those 18 Bag of Tricks (6 Gray, 6 Rust, 6 Tan) from the previous guardians.
  692. [12:24 AM] Eon: (wew)
  693. [12:24 AM] Mizuki: Alicia thanks John and nods. - "I see..."
  694. [12:25 AM] Eon: (woooow)
  695. [12:25 AM] Mizuki: A friendly lich? That sure was unexpected.
  696. [12:25 AM] Eon: (dude this is infinite uses, 3/day)
  697. [12:25 AM] Mizuki: (guys is this circle the thing we came to destroy and free Neph?)
  698. [12:25 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "... You are not supposed to be here. Wonderful." He exclaims, noticing Alicia.
  699. [12:25 AM] Eon: (yeah, more or less)
  700. [12:25 AM] Eon: (don't smack it unless you want to lose your soul)
  701. [12:25 AM] Bot Fodder: (OOC summary: We came down into the crypt beneath Lolth's temple, looking for Lolth's summoning circle. But after a crossroads, we walked into a seemingly unrelated crypt populated by nonthreatening undead and a Baelnorn.)
  702. [12:25 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Well no, you get a save)
  703. [12:26 AM] Eon: (well, still.)
  704. [12:26 AM] Eon: (don't smack it.)
  705. [12:26 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (And those who uses phylacteries or are undead are immune.)
  706. [12:26 AM] Mizuki: She waves towards the lich. - "Hello there."
  707. [12:26 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: The keeper's skull rocks forward, as if nodding. Badly.
  708. [12:26 AM] Eon: "..." While waiting for Merlin to do her thing, she realises something.
  709. [12:27 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Alright. It'll take me an hour to disable this."(edited)
  710. [12:27 AM] Eon: "Hey, can I get a lock of hair from the two of you? Nephelle too. Just in case your body gets destroyed or something."
  711. [12:27 AM] Bot Fodder: (The Baelnorn brought us to the circle, and our Not-Planned-For NPC is a conjurer and is currently examining it. :thumbsup: )
  712. [12:27 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "... Uh. I... Sure." Talmaril blinks. And does so.
  713. [12:27 AM] Mizuki: (is it really unrelated, Kap? Isn't this the circle?)
  714. [12:27 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Merlin happily gives you her hair, as insane as it sounds.
  715. [12:27 AM] Bot Fodder: (Evidently it is not unrelated!)
  716. [12:27 AM] Eon: Pff. And she was so uptight with her name.
  717. [12:28 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... Well, you'll have an hour to do things.
  718. [12:28 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Would you like to all jump into the circle?
  719. [12:28 AM] Eon: ... No thank you.
  720. [12:28 AM] Eon: Welp, time for 6 Commune with Nature.
  721. [12:28 AM] Mizuki: "Merlin, you need any help?" - Asked Alicia approaching the girl.
  722. [12:28 AM] Eon: (we can also do 50% divi and 25% divi)
  723. [12:28 AM] Runic: (Jumping in would be a bad thing, no thank you)(edited)
  724. [12:29 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Hmm? Yeah, just don't cast anything or jump inside, ok?" Merlin says. "Now, listen carefully..."
  725. [12:29 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Merlin starts sharing with you some conjuration basics, as well discussion and sharing note on abjuration spells.
  726. [12:29 AM] Bot Fodder: John listens too! Not that he'll probably understand any of it.
  727. [12:30 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: It's highly technical, but boils down to "And this is how you really,really hate people and use them as energy to fuel a magical circle of pure evil used to summon a god."
  728. [12:30 AM] Eon: Esker excuses herself, the room prior was a better place to listen into Orixia's chattering. After informing the party to holler with they needed her, of course.(edited)
  729. [12:30 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Evidently, though - they are using fluffy animals instead of people.
  730. [12:30 AM] Runic: 10 seconds in to the lesson, and Lexon is already lost, and having trouble understanding Merlin, he just nods, pertending to udnerstand
  731. [12:30 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Talmaril nods in agreement. To Lexon.
  732. [12:30 AM] Eon: (we just got 18 magic items, btw)
  733. [12:31 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "... Got a beer? I'll go hang with the druid." Talmaril asks.
  734. [12:31 AM] Bot Fodder: A lightbulb goes on in John's head. "... What would she have looked like if she were summoned with these?"(edited)
  735. [12:31 AM] Eon: (Aw, crap, that means Nul and all the Freedoms are wasted :sadpopo: )
  736. [12:31 AM] Eon: (MUH SPELLSLOTS)
  737. [12:31 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (I am sorry.jpg)
  738. [12:31 AM] Eon: (DISAPPEARED INTO THE AETHER)
  739. [12:31 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (DId you expected a fight? TOO BAD, IT IS I, DIO)
  740. [12:32 AM] Eon: (ah, well.)
  741.  
  742. [12:35 AM] Eon: What about her second question?
  743. [12:36 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Orixia doesn't understand, and merely made a troubled sound as she tries to understand.(edited)
  744. [12:36 AM] Eon: 16 more to go..
  745. [12:36 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: It's like a mixture between a kitten's growl and mewl, and a dog tilting its head in confusion.
  746. [12:36 AM] Eon: (so, so adorable.)
  747. [12:37 AM] Eon: "Do you know what threatens you?"
  748. [12:37 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Orixia's reply: "Hm? I don't know!"
  749. [12:37 AM] Eon: "... Should I tell you?"
  750. [12:37 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Orixia makes a troubled reply.
  751. [12:38 AM] Mizuki: Alicia takes out her spellbook. - "I'm ready to help with anything you need." - She said nodding, Azura perked on her shoulder. Most of her spells were combat focused, which was only natural since she grew up on the mercenary life. Hopefully she won't need them there.(edited)
  752. [12:38 AM] Eon: "..." Esker hesitates. If she told her..
  753. [12:38 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Destructive combat spells would get your soul trapped, likely, so it's not something that Merlin can honestly recommend.
  754. [12:39 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: However, with some work, the two of you could manage to remove the circle from existing.
  755. [12:39 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Taking it apart one phrase by another, one line of spell by another, a curse upon another curse...
  756. [12:39 AM] Bot Fodder: John... can lift and push heavy things when asked, he guesses. :sadpopo:
  757. [12:39 AM] Mizuki: (also, wait a bit. Did we get a short rest or something? Should I short rest?)
  758. [12:39 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Yep, you get a free shortrest)
  759. [12:40 AM] Bot Fodder: (Perhaps he is the true ⑨ )
  760. [12:40 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Anyone "catching up" would.)
  761. [12:40 AM] Eon: Ah. Fuck it. She should know.
  762. "Did you know.." Esker describes the vision Mielikki shown her to Orixia, and everything else she knew. "..?"
  763. [12:40 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Orixia seems troubled by the description, and doesn't have useful information to offer.
  764. [12:41 AM] Eon: That's fair. Esker just wanted her to know.
  765. [12:41 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Also, Orixians would noticed that the weather of the day grows a bit more troubled than usual.
  766. [12:41 AM] Mizuki: (before short rest, second wind)
  767. [12:41 AM] Mizuki: roll 1d10+2
  768. [12:41 AM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d10+2]: 6, Result: 8
  769. [12:41 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: ( :ok_hand: )
  770. [12:41 AM] Bot Fodder: (Orixia probably doesn't even know what the moon looks like since becoming the Cradle...)
  771. [12:41 AM] Eon: She doesn't really have any good questions to ask her, anyhow. Unless people want to ask stuff.
  772. [12:42 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Shadow asks if there's any cool nicknames that Orixia would like and offers her a list via you as proxy, Esker.
  773. [12:42 AM] Mizuki: roll 1d10+2 fighter hitdie
  774. [12:42 AM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d10+2]: 9, Result: 11
  775. [12:42 AM] Bot Fodder: (It might look like a body-horror'd version of her)
  776. [12:42 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: There's "Orixia, the one who devours the darkness"
  777. [12:42 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: and "Orixia of the Banished Cold"
  778. [12:42 AM] Eon: "... Stay safe." Whether or not she did that by calling to arms the natives, or.. whatever.
  779. [12:42 AM] Eon: That probably didn't take a whole hour.
  780. [12:43 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: or even "Orixia, one who slays the galactic dragons."
  781. [12:43 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Shadow seems to be waiting patiently for you, Esker.
  782. [12:43 AM] Eon: Esker grabs Shadow by the arms, and glares at him eye to eye.
  783. [12:44 AM] Eon: "I swear to Mielikki. If I had the spell power left for it I would Polymorph you into a pig sometimes."
  784. [12:44 AM] Eon: Ahem. Regaining her composure, she stands up, troubled.
  785. [12:44 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "... Wait, I suddenly want to try that." Shadow says, but coughs. "S-sorry."
  786. [12:44 AM] Eon: "I doubt the lich has much literature he's willing to share, so.."
  787. [12:45 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "....?"
  788. [12:45 AM] Eon: Eh? Oh, he was right next to them.
  789. [12:45 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: The keeper points to the shelves. "You my browse whatever you wish."
  790. [12:45 AM] Eon: "Huh. Thank you very much." Esker will take a look, what's there?
  791. [12:45 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Necromancy-related books and spells.
  792. [12:46 AM] Bot Fodder: John offers to help pick things up.
  793. [12:46 AM] Eon: Necromancy per the school or necromany per 'raising the dead'?
  794. [12:46 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: It's a comprehensive set of books on necromancy, from beginner level to the high secrets, including lichdom.
  795. [12:46 AM] Eon: granted, latter is subset of former.
  796. [12:46 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: All things related to the school of necromancy.
  797. [12:46 AM] Mizuki: Alicia is interested too! She turns to Merlin. - "Wanna take a look, now that we're done?"
  798. [12:46 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: This includes most necromancy spells.
  799. [12:46 AM] Eon: "Err. Should I really know this?" Esker turns to Grave.
  800. [12:46 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Merlin nods, after they have dismantled the circle of magic.
  801. [12:46 AM] Eon: The secret of lichdom..
  802. [12:47 AM] Eon: Is terribly guarded.
  803. [12:47 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: ".... It's not for me to decide, but for you to." The grave keeper says. "What is an eternity, if you do not use it to protect the thing you cared about?"
  804. [12:48 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: The lichdom process here described the secrets to Baelnors, but goes on describing many other lich variants.
  805. [12:48 AM] Eon: Esker flips through the books. While their magic was very different, arcane versus divine..
  806. [12:48 AM] Mizuki: Alicia browses through the books, useful necromancer spells, the secret of lichdom... She wonders how Raz would react if he saw she reading such a thing... Well, knowing is no harm, is it?
  807. [12:48 AM] Eon: Baelnor, the 'good' elf liches..
  808. [12:48 AM] Eon: Esker frowns at Alicia.
  809. [12:48 AM] Eon: "These are elven liches." She states simply.
  810. [12:49 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Good is pushing it. They aren't good at all - it's mostly about exactly what he said, a desire to protect and serve for eternity.
  811. [12:49 AM] Eon: hence the quotations.
  812. [12:49 AM] Mizuki: She stares back at Esker. - "Uh, I know that." - She said simply. What did she mean by that?(edited)
  813. [12:49 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: From the notes, you've gathered that this being in front of you is bound to an ideal, the servitude of the moons, and the dead moon Lune in particular, to keep and guard her name for the rest of the eternity.
  814. [12:49 AM] Bot Fodder: (The process of becoming a lich is often said to be incredibly, outrageously evil, and or involving pacts with Orcus or sinister gods. But perhaps that is only because said parties are very good propagandists? :thinking:)
  815. [12:50 AM] Eon: Still, she'll look for anything that can amplify her own druidic, necromantic spells. Namely, Blight, Contagion and Feign Death.
  816. [12:50 AM] Eon: "You're not an elf." She continues simply.
  817. [12:50 AM] Eon: ... Actually. True Resurrection, as well.(edited)
  818. [12:50 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: There isn't much to amplify spell effects, but all spells are explained in painstaking details and analyzed.
  819. [12:50 AM] Eon: Especially True Resurrection.(edited)
  820. [12:50 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: This... Does include True Resurrection, including effects that it may have on inorganic objects.
  821. [12:51 AM] Mizuki: "The hell you're on about, Esker." - She said surprised. - "I'm just reading."
  822. [12:51 AM] Bot Fodder: (Please do not attempt to cast TR before you have access to the spell level. :sadpopo: )
  823. [12:51 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: The deep, almost maddeningly so, analysis has a conclusion: "Inconclusive, likely unattainable."
  824. [12:51 AM] Bot Fodder: ((But you know you want to just to see what happens))
  825. [12:51 AM] Eon: Sure she was. She rolls her eyes at Alicia.
  826. [12:51 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: It seems that, at some point, he tried to "resurrect" Lune, the moon.
  827. [12:52 AM] Eon: A sure sign of desperation.
  828. [12:52 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Or lunacy.
  829. [12:52 AM] Eon: Hah.
  830. [12:52 AM] Mizuki: (Do I get to scribe some sick necromancy spells? :smugpopo:)
  831. [12:52 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: You, in fact, can.
  832. [12:52 AM] Eon: Esker will take notes of her own, at any rate.
  833. [12:52 AM] Eon: She's no wizard, but..
  834. [12:53 AM] Eon: Bah. If only she had a proper journal.
  835. [12:53 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: The laboratory is fully equipped for scribing, with enough materials to the point that Merlin can procure an empty, makeshift spellbook.
  836. [12:53 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: If you wish to spend time here, you can spend as much time as you want, and freely scribe any necromancy spells.
  837. [12:54 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: That is, if you chose to remain here.
  838. [12:54 AM] Bot Fodder: (J-just until the summoning circle is removed, please...)
  839. [12:54 AM] Mizuki: (does he know sublimation of blood? The lich.)
  840. [12:54 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Nephelle seems a bit uneasy. This was a lot easier than she thought.
  841. [12:54 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: No, that would be a unknown spell for him.
  842. [12:54 AM] Eon: Esker does look up from her engrossed note taking from time to time. Yeah.
  843. [12:54 AM] Eon: "Does that mean you're free proper?"
  844. [12:54 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: It is, after all, a spell created by vampired in the relatively recent years.
  845. [12:55 AM] Eon: "Feel anything? Elly talk to you?"
  846. [12:55 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "... I guess. I can feel my link to Elly strengtening..." Nephelle murmurs, looking at her hands.(edited)
  847. [12:55 AM] Mizuki: "That was nice, wasn't it, Neph?" - Smiled Alicia reading one of the books. - "Things went surprisingly well."
  848. [12:55 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "But... Uh, this was really simple. I wonder if this was enough. I feel like I didn't do anything." Nephelle pouts.
  849. [12:55 AM] Mizuki: (Alicia takes out her phone and snaps a picture of some of the book's pages)
  850. [12:55 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "... Girl." Talmaril says. "Sometimes, it's the simple things that matters the most in the world."
  851. [12:55 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (wew)
  852. [12:55 AM] Bot Fodder: "I can relate," John says. :sadpopo:
  853. [12:56 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Optionally, you can fight your way in, and slay a lich)
  854. [12:56 AM] Eon: "I mean, if the circle and trap is disabled, we can smash the idols for good measure."
  855. [12:56 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (And then fight desperately to destroy the circle, I guess, while some get soul trapped? ...)
  856. [12:56 AM] Mizuki: "Come on, Neph, if not for you I could have died against that golem before." - Smiled Alicia.
  857. [12:57 AM] Eon: She compiles her notes on Baelorns, and Necromancy spells she cares about.
  858. [12:57 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Nephelle nods. "I was just... Thinking how simple it was. I can't help but wonder if there's more to do."
  859. [12:57 AM] Mizuki: (what's the name of the lich again?)
  860. [12:57 AM] Eon: (koga)
  861. [12:57 AM] Eon: (I mean, Grave)
  862. [12:57 AM] Faerie: (I wanna know what happens next, play faster :flamingpopo:)
  863. [12:57 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (He doesn't have a name, and merely offered it as Grave Keeper.)
  864. [12:58 AM] Bot Fodder: "Just you being here and free is everything we could've asked for... but what do you mean?" John asks.
  865. [12:58 AM] Eon: Hmm. Esker flips through her own notes. The Wizards' way of learning is.. curious.
  866. [12:58 AM] Mizuki: "Hey, Grave." - Said Alicia approaching him. - "Do you happen to have any copies of those spells I could take with me?" - She asked. - "We're a little out of time, I have a spell you would probably like as well."
  867. [12:58 AM] Eon: Maybe in another life.
  868. [12:59 AM] Mizuki: Unfortunately she doesn't have time to scribe new spells right now, time is running low.
  869. [12:59 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Nephelle shakes her head, merely paranoid. This was supposed to be something hard, that Elly couldn't do herself, and the party just sort of... strolled in and nobody stopped them. Supposedly, the Spider Queen has her attention on them... What happened?
  870. [12:59 AM] Eon: Merlin happened.
  871. [12:59 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "..." The lich rocks back and forth. "... I am not very interested in trade, but... Which spells are you interested in...?"
  872. [1:00 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: He offers you scrolls, instead, if he has any to spare.
  873. [1:00 AM] Mizuki: (I-I don't know!)
  874. [1:00 AM] Eon: (DDoor, Tongues)
  875.  
  876. [1:02 AM] Eon: Past tense, that's a good sign.
  877. [1:03 AM] Mizuki: (T W O S P E L L S)
  878. [1:03 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Right, you are not supposed to be here." Grave seems positively mirthful, his eyesockets lighting up.
  879. [1:03 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Right, maybe... Hm."
  880. [1:03 AM] Eon: Esker glances at the rest. Should she share we she Divined?
  881. [1:03 AM] Eon: Granted, she suspected Grave already was aware.
  882. [1:04 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "..." Grave looks at the ceiling. His bone bleached by the years past, and skin translucent like that of ghostly ectoplasm, it's hard to remember that he was a dark elf.
  883. [1:04 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Of the race that would've built a space shuttle to exact vengeance.
  884. [1:04 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: In an era where horses was of the highest of transportation technology.
  885. [1:05 AM] Bot Fodder: John thinks he seems MUCH more sane by comparison!
  886. [1:05 AM] Eon: And to think they had that same space shuttle, today.
  887. [1:05 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "... Even if this is all a dream, I would like to see the moon just once more." He wishes.
  888. [1:05 AM] Eon: Curious how fate works.
  889. [1:05 AM] Eon: "We.. have a piece of it. In the Spelljammer."
  890. [1:06 AM] Eon: She could trust him, right?
  891. [1:06 AM] Bot Fodder: Those words sound... familiar? John glances at Nephelle.(edited)
  892. [1:06 AM] Faerie: (Ahahaahaha)
  893. [1:06 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "A Fragment of Lune? It has become a common artifact in these lands." Grave explains. "I am a curator of them, but there's no use in assembling them."
  894. [1:06 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Nephelle didn't seem to notice.
  895. [1:07 AM] Faerie: (Alright, hope I don't wake up to a TPK because Mozu wanted to be a Lich)
  896. [1:07 AM] Mizuki: (Koga, I'm taking blight and animate dead, how's that?)
  897. [1:07 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: The lich closes his eyes - the lights within dimmed.
  898. [1:07 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Sure)
  899. [1:07 AM] Eon: (We'll put Alicia down)
  900. [1:07 AM] Eon: (>animate dead)
  901. [1:07 AM] Eon: (>>Razmik)
  902. [1:08 AM] Mizuki: (i-it's for emergencies, she promises)
  903. [1:08 AM] Eon: "I imagine you don't know how it could be possible to put the moon back together? You must have been at it for so long.."
  904. [1:08 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: He shakes his head.
  905. [1:08 AM] Eon: And Esker has lived for centuries, mind you.
  906. [1:09 AM] Faerie: (How about I shove a lightsaber down your spellbook's throat)
  907. [1:09 AM] Eon: Grave probably for much much longer.(edited)
  908. [1:09 AM] Faerie: (Also Blight is shite, don't dew it)
  909. [1:09 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "..." Arcane energy surges around the lich, suddenly, as his robe starts glowing. The red robe of neutrality, the Robe of Archmagi. He sighs. "I Wish... For those young humanoids to succeed in their endeavor."
  910. [1:09 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 1d100
  911. [1:09 AM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d100]: 60, Result: 60
  912. [1:09 AM] Eon: Esker's eyes widen.
  913. [1:09 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Nothing seems to happen.
  914. [1:10 AM] Eon: (Wait, he has a robe of the archmagi)
  915. [1:10 AM] Eon: (... nevermind.)
  916. [1:10 AM] Faerie: (OH GOD WHAT DID HE JUST DO)
  917. [1:10 AM] Bot Fodder: John doesn't know how to react to this!
  918. [1:10 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: The lich's eyesocket flares with flame once more, seemingly as if he opened them.
  919. [1:10 AM] Eon: If anything, that willingness to Wish for them was.. a shock in itself.
  920. [1:11 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Now, you really aren't supposed to be here." He sighs. "Go forth and do what you must do, and perhaps one day, I shall gaze upon Lune again."
  921. [1:11 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "... It's really awkward, socially, if you stand around here after you are done." He states, awkwardly.
  922. [1:11 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "... I don't have tea."
  923. [1:11 AM] Eon: Esker nods. They made a friend today. Or at least, met someone who wishes the same as they do.
  924. [1:11 AM] Eon: "I-I have goodberries."
  925. [1:11 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "..."
  926. [1:12 AM] Eon: ".... I doubt you eat much."
  927. [1:12 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: His translucent skin and bone doesn't seem to contain digestive organs. Or a tongue for taste.
  928. [1:12 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "..."
  929. [1:12 AM] Bot Fodder: "Thank you, sir!" John says with a bow-like nod.
  930. [1:12 AM] Mizuki: Alicia nods to the lich. - "Thanks for your help, Grave. We will make it so you can gaze upon Lune once more."
  931. [1:12 AM] Eon: Hey, he mentioned tea ok?
  932. [1:12 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "One day, if this is not all just a dream, and of something else." He sighs.
  933. [1:12 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "One day, perhaps."
  934. [1:12 AM] Eon: A Nightmare? Esker muses.
  935. [1:13 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: The lich deanimate, slowly, fading and discorporating, scattering into bone litters. Or maybe this is just a disguise, or a "comfortable position". It's hard to tell with skeletal undeads without corporeal flesh to speak of.
  936. [1:13 AM] Runic: Lexon jumps a bit from the sudden blow of energy coming out from Grave. "Ah, uh, thanks Grave. For the blessing or whatever that was." Lexon mumbles, "We'll do our best man" he says more confidently
  937. [1:14 AM] Eon: "I was about to ask him how to smite the moon as a joke." Esker pouts.
  938. [1:14 AM] Eon: "Ah, well. That went well. We should regroup at the Spelljammer, maybe?"
  939. [1:14 AM] Mizuki: "Well then, lets go?" - Asked Alicia satisfied. She approaches Nephelle.
  940. [1:15 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... [Nephelle has changed title to Chosen of Elly.] [Nephelle has joined the party. Again.]
  941. [1:15 AM] Mizuki: "How are you feeling, Neph? Do you feel any remaining bindings on you?" - She asked.
  942. [1:15 AM] Eon: (the party grows ever bigger.png)
  943. [1:15 AM] Bot Fodder: John... hopes he's not dead, or something? Casting a powerful spell like that must be exhausting, so maybe not. He glances back at the bones, debating whether he should've mentioned who sent them in the first place... But, oh well.
  944. [1:15 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Uh... It's hard to tell." Nephelle explains. "At the same time, nothing seems to have changed... But something did. That's all I can explain. It's... weird."
  945. [1:16 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "... Some cake to celebrate, perhaps, later?" Nephelle smiles.
  946. [1:16 AM] Eon: "Heh. Raz would be head over heels to fulfil that thought."
  947. [1:16 AM] Eon: Still, even amidst the celebration, Esker feels a pang of paranoia.
  948. [1:16 AM] Mizuki: Alicia thinks, a bit worried. - "I hope that was all we needed to do. And sure, been a while since the last time, huh?"
  949. [1:17 AM] Eon: ... How would they deal with the 'Mother'?
  950. [1:17 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Indeed, you have actually made no progress toward the end of Orixia.
  951. [1:17 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: You found out information, actually, which is always a plus.
  952. [1:17 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Whether that's enough or not, depends entirely on you.
  953. [1:18 AM] Eon: (Divination is a good spell)
  954. [1:18 AM] Bot Fodder: John marches back with a light spring in his step. Small victories.
  955. [1:18 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: You make your trip back, through the land of the dead in the blue, gentle moss, shining upon the undeads around you.
  956. [1:18 AM] Mizuki: (Did Martha get a new spellbook?)
  957. [1:18 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Arriving in what Recelle called Elevator.
  958. [1:18 AM] Eon: (Who's Martha)
  959. [1:18 AM] Mizuki: (>Martha)
  960. [1:18 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Merlin? Yes.)
  961. [1:18 AM] Bot Fodder: (Pff)
  962. [1:18 AM] Mizuki: (M-Merlin, yes)
  963. [1:19 AM] Eon: (Martha is a level 0 artificier)
  964. [1:19 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Martha: I am not sure, ask Eon Kappa)
  965. [1:19 AM] Eon: (what spellbook?)
  966. [1:19 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: This would be the first time Alicia is seeing the necropolis, actually.
  967. [1:19 AM] Eon: Hmm. Any last things to do in Drow City and Myconid hive?
  968. [1:20 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Not much else down here - you make it out of the catacombs alive.
  969. [1:20 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Back out in the Temple,
  970. [1:20 AM] Mizuki: (the necropolis is a bunch of peaceful undead doing their own business, right?)
  971. [1:20 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: You find that the passageway out has been sealed, with a thick layer of web.
  972. [1:20 AM] Eon: "Well fuck you too." Esker sighs.
  973. [1:21 AM] Eon: Perfectly flammable?
  974. [1:21 AM] Runic: ( they just chill down here it seems)
  975. [1:21 AM] Bot Fodder: John is most on-guard once they reach the temple. He doesn't look surprised... "Figures she'd know," he sighs.
  976. [1:21 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: In front of all those webs, stands a strangely alluring woman, clad in black, chitinous armor, seemingly of drider in material.
  977. [1:21 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: She smiles sweetly, two toothy canine teeth seething with hatred.
  978. [1:21 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Well done, adventurers."
  979. [1:22 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "You've succeeded in... Annoying me."
  980. [1:22 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Nephelle goes on guard, immediately.
  981. [1:22 AM] Eon: "Was a pleasure." Esker sneers, but conjures her Starbow.(edited)
  982. [1:22 AM] Bot Fodder: John raises his shield and stands at the ready.
  983. [1:22 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: The woman shifts and moves, standing properly so. It seems that there's only a glimmer of thin visual.
  984. [1:23 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: If this is a physical form, it is one with strength of a wisp.
  985. [1:23 AM] Runic: Lexon grips his spear in case things get dicey real quick
  986. [1:23 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "I am here to talk. You've garnered my respect, even if you are working with those worthless males." She chuckles.
  987. [1:23 AM] Faerie: (Walk up to it and tell it to stand aside, it's the only way)
  988. [1:23 AM] Mizuki: Alicia draws her blade on reflex, raising her shield, on guard. She stares at the woman's face, does she seem familiar for her somehow? Could it be a physical manifestation of Lolth?
  989. [1:23 AM] Faerie: (Do it for me :excitedfish:)
  990. [1:24 AM] Eon: (do it yourself, punk)
  991. [1:24 AM] Mizuki: (religion, maybe? Or arcana?)
  992. [1:24 AM] Bot Fodder: John flinches as if he'd taken a blow. But he's not important in this scene, anyway.
  993. [1:24 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: She bats her eyelids. "Would you allow me the pleasure to have a word with you, or would you like to do this the hard way?"
  994. [1:24 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Uhhh)
  995. [1:24 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Religion, go)
  996. [1:24 AM] Faerie: (I totally would :sadpopo:)
  997. [1:24 AM] Mizuki: roll 1d20+5
  998. [1:24 AM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+5]: 14, Result: 19
  999. [1:25 AM] Eon: "..." Esker waits impassively for her to finish her song and dance.
  1000. [1:25 AM] Runic: Lexon turns back to the group wondering
  1001. [1:25 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Yeah, without much a doubt.
  1002. [1:25 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: I mean, the statues nearby bear her likeliness.
  1003. [1:25 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 1d20
  1004. [1:25 AM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20]: 10, Result: 10
  1005. [1:26 AM] Mizuki: "This isn't the first time." - Started Alicia gritting her teeth and pointing her sword to her. - "You already made Neph suffer not once, but twice. There's nothing to talk about, you blasted fiend."
  1006. [1:26 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "... You have no power here, Spider Queen!" Merlin, a bit too confident, stands forth. "You do not have agents in this land, nor do you have methods to summon yourself. Your presense like this is all you can do."
  1007. [1:26 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: She frowns.
  1008. [1:26 AM] Mizuki: (YEAH BOY)
  1009. [1:26 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "But our goals align."
  1010. [1:26 AM] Bot Fodder: John doesn't need to look too closely at her motions to sense weakness... After all, if the Spider Queen could appear here in the flesh so easily, would she bother talking?
  1011. [1:27 AM] Eon: "Sure they do. Just like how Alicia doesn't want to become a lich."
  1012. [1:27 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "You wish to leave this nightmare, and I wish to get you out." She suggests.
  1013. [1:27 AM] Eon: Cough.
  1014. [1:27 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "I can get you out, for free. No strings attached."
  1015. [1:27 AM] Faerie: (>wish to leave
  1016. AhahahaHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA)
  1017. [1:27 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: She says, sweetly, cutting a spidersilk thread to demonstrate.
  1018. [1:27 AM] Eon: "Yeah, into somewhere worse, likely." Esker sneers.
  1019. [1:27 AM] Bot Fodder: "That's not what we wish at all!" John declares like a voice in a crowd. Damn deities and their big, fancy presence.
  1020. [1:28 AM] Faerie: From somewhere in Faerun, Razmik thinks "wow, I just thought of something really stupid".
  1021. [1:28 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "No. You'll be able to go home. And leave this mess behind. This is not your fight, heroes. You aren't here to do some fey's bidding to fight some silly poor fool that nobody cared about, and you are even put inside its stomach."
  1022. [1:28 AM] Eon: "Besides. I'm fighting for more than just getting out, now. The people next to me, this world of Orixia.. As if I would just walk away, now."
  1023. [1:29 AM] Mizuki: "Go to hell, where you belong." - Said Alicia. - "There's nothing to negotiate, nothing to talk about, get out of our way or pay the price." - She nods toward Esker as well. Couldn't have said it better herself.
  1024. [1:30 AM] Eon: Besides, she knew better than actually working with Lolth.
  1025. [1:30 AM] Faerie: (Alicia being Alicia)
  1026. [1:30 AM] Mizuki: (COME, YOU FUGGIN SLUT)
  1027. [1:30 AM] Bot Fodder: (Ahaha~)
  1028. [1:30 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Lolth sighs. "Well, that was the easy way. I bear no ill will toward you, heroes, despite what you may think. I am actually your friend, rather than enemy, in this realm or beyond. Our goals align, after all..."
  1029. [1:30 AM] Eon: She had 20 Wisdom, for crying out loud. She's almost wise enough to walk off a cliff?
  1030. [1:30 AM] Faerie: (AHH FUCK
  1031. GOODNIGHT FOR REAL)
  1032. [1:31 AM] Eon: "No ill will? We did just annoy you, after all."
  1033. [1:31 AM] Bot Fodder: John clears his throat and, without malice: "Now, could you please move aside? You're blocking our path, ma'am."
  1034. [1:31 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "As you wish, then. Go fight to your death and destruction, and be useless." She shrugs, falling back into the spidersilk... "You do annoy me. There's no greater joy than finding proper capable females able to do so."
  1035. [1:31 AM] Eon: "Given your disposition, forgive me if this one finds your proposition more than slightly suspicious." Esker sneers the whole while, defiant.
  1036. [1:32 AM] Runic: "Huh? Who cares if it ain't our fight, I wanna save the world, I wanna blow up the moon!" Lexon yell, "It became more than just about being released now, so move" Lexon adds
  1037. [1:32 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "It's a shame."
  1038. [1:32 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: The spidersilk swallows her whole, and bursts.
  1039. [1:32 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... Tens of thousands of tiny spiders crawl out, scattering.
  1040. [1:32 AM] Eon: Utterly unimpressed.
  1041. [1:32 AM] Bot Fodder: "Gross," John remarks.
  1042. [1:32 AM] Faerie: (MIZUBALL)
  1043. [1:33 AM] Eon: If they had hostile intent, well.
  1044. [1:33 AM] Mizuki: Alicia runs up to them before they can move too much and lets out a wave of fire, incinerating them.
  1045. [1:33 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... Behind the web....
  1046. [1:33 AM] Mizuki: fire thunderwave.
  1047. [1:33 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... Wait, wait, Alicia.
  1048. [1:33 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Hahaha.
  1049. [1:33 AM] Bot Fodder: (Sasuga)
  1050.  
  1051.  
  1052. [2:33 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Behind the web, as if in mockery, stands a tall, bipedal figure, with rotten wings and blue scales.
  1053. [2:34 PM] Eon: ... What kind of wings?
  1054. [2:34 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Draconic horns adorned with necromatic sigils and body of rotten dragon flesh denotes the nature of the being,
  1055. [2:34 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: a Blue Dracolich.
  1056. [2:34 PM] Mizuki: (the fire thunderwave happened? :thinking:)
  1057. [2:34 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Not yet.)
  1058. [2:34 PM] Eon: (tsk, I guess we fighting a lich either way kek)
  1059. [2:34 PM] Bot Fodder: (Asdf I really need to shower now, but...)
  1060. [2:34 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "... Well, I have a contract to fulfill. Adventurers, may I suggest a spot of tea before we proceed?" He asks.
  1061. [2:35 PM] Mizuki: (SHOWER CAN WAIT IT'S BOSS TIME!)
  1062. [2:35 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Boss time more like tea time :excitedfish: )
  1063. [2:35 PM] Eon: "Oh sure, that sounds great." Haste on Lexon.
  1064. [2:35 PM] Mizuki: (Koga, you're appealing to all my weak spots ;_;)
  1065. [2:35 PM] Runic: "Not much if tea type of guy, sorry"
  1066. [2:36 PM] Mizuki: (dracoliches are so beyong cool, I don't want to blast the dude)
  1067. [2:36 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "If possible, I would like to lay out the entire terms and conditions before we proceed toward the unsightly, ungentlemanly task." He sighs.
  1068. [2:36 PM] Eon: "Of course." Ready Action: Fire Starbow when hostilities start.
  1069. [2:36 PM] Bot Fodder: "... Oh. Okay." John eases his stance, though he's far from unprepared.
  1070. [2:36 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Merlin just stares at the dragon, jaw dropped.
  1071. [2:36 PM] Mizuki: "A contract you made with Her?" - Asked Alicia, still sword in hand.
  1072. [2:37 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Talmaril wonders what he's got himself into.
  1073. [2:37 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Hm? Oh, it's an old debt, from back when I was of...." He considers the wording.
  1074. [2:37 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Of less wisdom with regard to the world." He finishes.
  1075. [2:38 PM] Eon: "You regret your current state?"
  1076. [2:38 PM] Eon: Cast Goodberry, resume Readying Starbow.
  1077. [2:38 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "But unfortunately, I have no intention to pay her back properly, and I am here to Utterly Destroy You, as per her request, but there are some terms and conditions she overlooked." He confesses.
  1078. [2:38 PM] Mizuki: "How the hell can you bastards just come to us and chat like you're an old friend after all you've done?" - She asked, gritting her teeth once again. She does not lower her sword and shield.
  1079. [2:38 PM] Eon: "What is the definition of 'You'?"
  1080. [2:38 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "... What did I ever do to you?" He wonders.
  1081. [2:39 PM] Eon: "I can summon a creature and name it 'You'." Esker sneers.
  1082. [2:39 PM] Mizuki: "You're a servant of her, that's pretty much enough for me." - She said.
  1083. [2:40 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "This is the first we've met, young one. I am Izfanbnir, a blue dragon that's ascended. And no, no, no." He sighs, taking out a pair of spectacles, wiping it, before placing it upon his face, his glowing eyesockets of red dimming slightly.
  1084. [2:40 PM] Bot Fodder: In other words: he should've known better than to deal with Lolth. "Hm. I guess it must be a drag to end up being sent to assassinate someone like me, huh?" John says humorously. That's probably what one would call 'draconic humor.'(edited)
  1085. [2:40 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "I am no servant, this is me paying back a debt that I am forced to pay back."
  1086. [2:40 PM] Eon: Esker glances at the Dragon Slayer wielding Dragon Slayer.
  1087. [2:41 PM] Eon: "Mhmmm, Go on."
  1088. [2:41 PM] Mizuki: She does not lower her arms. - "Get on with it then."
  1089. [2:41 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "And that wouldn't quite work, but that idea is etertaining. Did you know that Spider Queen do not bother to read contracts?"
  1090. [2:41 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Izfanbnir chuckles.
  1091. [2:41 PM] Eon: "Found a loophole?" Esker cocks an eyebrow.
  1092. [2:41 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: He brings out a small bag... and reaches inside, and brings out...
  1093. [2:42 PM] Faerie: (Goddamn I can't fall asleep without saying this: Ring of Spell Storing has Revivify)
  1094. [2:42 PM] Eon: Lolth was a demon goddess, not a devil one, but hey, so that's no surprise.
  1095. [2:42 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... Erm, a small cottage of paper.
  1096. [2:42 PM] Eon: (I remember)
  1097. [2:42 PM] Eon: (I was the one who bought the ring and asked you to store it, after all)
  1098. [2:42 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "It was only several hundred thousand pages long." He muses.
  1099. [2:42 PM] Eon: Esker glances curiously.
  1100. [2:43 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Anyhow, do you know of the tradition in the land of Anflowria, a land that exists only in my wildest of imaginations?" He goes on a tangent.
  1101. [2:43 PM] Eon: Well, that wasn't too long. Terribly dry, though.
  1102. [2:43 PM] Runic: Lexon gags a bit hearing such a lengthy piece was made, "Must be a pain to read" he says apologetically
  1103. [2:44 PM] Bot Fodder: "Well, I can't really guess what's in your wildest of imaginations," John confesses.(edited)
  1104. [2:44 PM] Mizuki: Does Alicia know? (I want to roll!)
  1105. [2:44 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "In that land, there's a tradition where two parties would enter into a dual to Utter Destruction by a game, or sport, as they are of creatures with split micros of lives." He goes on to explain.
  1106. [2:45 PM] Bot Fodder: (shit, this really can't wait longer, I'll hurry as much as I can.)
  1107. [2:45 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "The loser would have to concede a length of a singular second standing still, during which time they would completely be erased from the land of Anflowria due to the nature of their physiology." He pushes his spectacles up.
  1108. [2:46 PM] Eon: Esker's sneer slowly curls upwards into a grin. Crafty.
  1109. [2:46 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "I wish to Utterly Destroy you via the ancient tradition of Anflowria." He says. "Let us engage in gentlemanly pursuit instead. Pick your poison, adventurers!"
  1110. [2:46 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (It literally does not exist, Alicia.)
  1111. [2:46 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (He likely made it up somewhere and convinced himself for it to be the truth, hidden somewhere in the paperwork.)
  1112. [2:47 PM] Mizuki: (I don't understand completely)
  1113. [2:47 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "The loser would have to stand still for an entire second."
  1114. [2:47 PM] Eon: Esker proposes.. a contest on who can pronouce the titles of Tiamat in Draconic better.(edited)
  1115. [2:47 PM] Eon: (he's abusing letter of the contract)
  1116. [2:47 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Sure, seems legit." He says. "I shall go ahead. Ahem." He clears his throat. "Praise Tiamat."
  1117. [2:47 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Your turn."
  1118. [2:47 PM] Eon: Esker gargles something in Elvish.(edited)
  1119. [2:48 PM] Eon: "Ah, it appears I have been Utterly Destroyed. For shame."(edited)
  1120. [2:48 PM] Eon: Esker stands stock still for a second.
  1121. [2:48 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "For shame, a second has passed and you have been Utterly Destroyed, as per the custom of Anflowria." He lamently, mockingly.
  1122. [2:49 PM] Mizuki: "..." - Alicia stares at Esker. And at the dracolith. Are they for real?
  1123. [2:49 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Spider Queen's debt has been repaid. I am free!" He cackles, breathing lightning suddenly... Blasting away a tower nearby.(edited)
  1124. [2:49 PM] Eon: "Ahem. Can we go?"
  1125. [2:49 PM] Eon: "We have better things to do, and I imagine you do too."
  1126. [2:49 PM] Runic: Lexon looks between the two utterly confused, not understanding the contract. "That's it?!" Lexon yells
  1127. [2:49 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Hm? Oh, yeah. You are of no concern to me, unless you wish for a game or sport." He says.
  1128. [2:50 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "... What, do you want to challenge me, mortal?"
  1129. [2:50 PM] Eon: "Nah, was fun. See you." Esker walks past it.
  1130. [2:50 PM] Eon: She looks to the rest. What's the hold up?
  1131. [2:50 PM] Mizuki: "... Guess I'll pass." - Said Alicia sheating her blade. - "She'll probably go after you."
  1132. [2:50 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Hey, that bitch's got more to worry about with how many people are on her ass in the multiverse right now." He grins.
  1133. [2:51 PM] Eon: "Tell me about it." Esker countergrins.
  1134. [2:51 PM] Runic: "Was expecting a fight, but a quick challenge be kind of fun" Lexon mutters. He looks back to the group if its okay.(edited)
  1135. [2:51 PM] Eon: "... Are you going to try wrestle him?"
  1136. [2:51 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "..." The dracolich paused to think on what Lexon said.
  1137. [2:52 PM] Runic: "Yeah, always wanted to wrestle a dragon properly"(edited)
  1138. [2:52 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The dracolich doesn't seem too worried. "Yes, actually."
  1139. [2:52 PM] Eon: Esker's turn to be appalled.
  1140. [2:52 PM] Eon: "Well."
  1141. [2:53 PM] Eon: "Ok."
  1142. [2:53 PM] Eon: "Don't die."
  1143. [2:53 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "I do not see any foreseeable way that I can lose."
  1144. [2:53 PM] Eon: "Hmm."
  1145. [2:53 PM] Eon: "any way?"
  1146. [2:53 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Here's the terms, then! Shall I, in a minute, be able to grab upon you, it's my victory, and if you are able to do the reverse, it's my loss."
  1147. [2:54 PM] Mizuki: "Come on, Lexon, we told our friend we would do our best to solve the moon problem." - She paused for a moment. - "By the way, do you know anything of the moon?" - She asked.
  1148. [2:54 PM] Eon: Esker pats Lexon on the part with Guidance.
  1149. [2:54 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "To the victor goes the spoil - a single favor. No debt! Just favor!"
  1150. [2:54 PM] Eon: And looks to Alicia. The Size difference..
  1151. [2:54 PM] Eon: "Hey Merlin."
  1152. [2:54 PM] Runic: Lexon hops a bit, starting to get giddy. "Alright, not exactly what I had in mind, but I except those terms!"
  1153. [2:54 PM] Eon: "Know Enlarge?"
  1154. [2:54 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Merlin pauses.
  1155. [2:54 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "..."
  1156. [2:54 PM] Mizuki: "That seems a bit too much even for Lexon." - Whispered the girl.
  1157. [2:54 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: She pats on Lexon's shoulder.
  1158. [2:55 PM] Eon: Esker whispers to Alicia.
  1159. [2:55 PM] Eon: "Polymorph him."
  1160. [2:55 PM] Mizuki: (into a t-rex?)
  1161. [2:55 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Good luck!" She says, as she squeezes Lexon's shoulder.
  1162. [2:55 PM] Eon: (well, yeah)
  1163. [2:55 PM] Runic: "Don't, I got this!" Lexon exclaims
  1164. [2:55 PM] Eon: "..." Esker rolls her eyes.
  1165. [2:55 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... Lexon suddenly spurts a size larger.
  1166. [2:56 PM] Eon: (what dice does the Spear of Destiny still have?)
  1167. [2:56 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "... Crap." The dracolich declares.
  1168. [2:56 PM] Mizuki: (nah, let the 1x1 happen in a fair way :nicosmug:)
  1169. [2:56 PM] Eon: (you also have Lucky.)
  1170. [2:56 PM] Runic: Lexon puts this things along with his spear to the side, and gets ready
  1171. [2:56 PM] Runic: ( 5 and a 9)
  1172. [2:56 PM] Eon: (yeah, dumpster his check)
  1173. [2:56 PM] Mizuki: "Lexon can probably do best with his own body." - Alicia whispered back.
  1174. [2:56 PM] Runic: "Alright I'm ready whenever you are man!"
  1175. [2:56 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The dragon moves to grapple Lexon!
  1176. [2:57 PM] Eon: ... Esker slaps Guidance on Lexon near the half minute mark.
  1177. [2:57 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "En gard!"
  1178. [2:57 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 1d20+14
  1179. [2:57 PM] Eon: ".. Think of the prize, though." Esker whispers back.
  1180. [1:57 AM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+14]: 11, Result: 25
  1181. [1:57 AM] Eon: (dumpster it!)
  1182. [1:57 AM] Runic: roll 1d20+14
  1183. [1:57 AM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+14]: 13, Result: 27
  1184. [1:57 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: ...
  1185. [1:57 AM] Eon: wew
  1186. [1:58 AM] Mizuki: (KEK)
  1187. [1:58 AM] Eon: ok nevermind.
  1188. [1:58 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Lexon, you foresee the dragon's movement.
  1189. [1:58 AM] Runic: Lexon quickly deflects the dragons attempts to grapple him, and counters with his own!
  1190. [1:58 AM] Runic: roll 1d20+14
  1191. [1:58 AM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+14]: 18, Result: 32
  1192. [1:58 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 1d20+14
  1193. [1:58 AM] Mizuki: (TOP KEK)
  1194. [1:58 AM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+14]: 10, Result: 24
  1195. [1:58 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Being made of a size proper to grip onto the dragon, you would be able to grab a hold on it, even as he roars and attempts to overpower you.
  1196. [1:58 AM] Eon: "Err." Esker gawks in amazement.
  1197. [1:59 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: ...
  1198. [1:59 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Within a few seconds, you subdued the dracolich in a wrestling match.
  1199. [1:59 AM] Mizuki: "Pfffft AHAHAHA" - Alicia bursted in laughter.
  1200. [1:59 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "..."
  1201. [1:59 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "..."
  1202. [1:59 AM] Runic: After having the dragon in a chokehold, Lexon release his grip in victory.
  1203. [1:59 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: He struggles and shrinks away. "... Alright. Fair enough."
  1204. [1:59 AM] Eon: Ok, she did just witness him wrestle a 5 ton spider statue monster a few hours prior.
  1205. [1:59 AM] Mizuki: "That was amazing." - She said cleaning the tears off her face.
  1206. [1:59 AM] Runic: "Yush!" Lexon yells hands raised in the air
  1207. [2:00 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: This is notably easier than the spider golem, if due to sheer strength of the dragon being lesser.
  1208. [2:00 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "... Name your favor, I suppose."
  1209. [2:00 AM] Eon: (ask for sorcerer powers Kappa)
  1210. [2:00 AM] Mizuki: (help us with the moon business!)
  1211. [2:01 AM] Runic: "Ahh, that was cool man, thanks" Lexon offers and hand, as to help him get up, "A handshake is good enough"
  1212. [2:01 AM] Eon: (ok that's the actual answer)
  1213. [2:01 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: He wipes his spectacles with a piece of cloth, evidently miffed that he lost something he's so cocksure about.
  1214. [2:01 AM] Eon: (That works too)
  1215. [2:01 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Oh, well, then."
  1216. [2:01 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: The dracolich considers for a moment, before shifting, morphing.
  1217. [2:01 AM] Eon: "Well, keep in touch, maybe? You seem pleasant."
  1218. [2:02 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Moments later, he shifts into a dragonborn's form, a blue dragonborn. He then shakes Lexon's hand, firmly.
  1219. [2:02 AM] Runic: Lexon returns the handshake in a firm grasp as well, smiling
  1220. [2:03 AM] Mizuki: "Your're not a bad guy, sorry for expecting the worst." - Said Alicia. - "Well, I'm sure you understand our situation as well."
  1221. [2:03 AM] Bot Fodder: (Back. I am so, so sorry :firepopo: )
  1222. [2:03 AM] Runic: "Alright, I'm satisfied, thanks again for the chance to do this"
  1223. [2:03 AM] Mizuki: (you missed the wrestling match)
  1224. [2:03 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: The dragon nods. "Yes, yes. Now, then."
  1225. [2:03 AM] Eon: ... Esker offers the other half of her Sending Stone.
  1226. [2:03 AM] Eon: Should he be willing to remain contacts.
  1227. [2:04 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: He turns around to leave, until stopped. "Oh? Oh. A sending stone." He accepts it.
  1228. [2:04 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "If you do have any interestnig games or the like that you've found in your journey, let me know. I shall pay you handsomely."
  1229. [2:05 AM] Runic: Lexon heads over to his own stuff that he placed against the ground and picks them back up, placing them on his back one again.
  1230. [2:05 AM] Eon: "Y'know, we did see that giant chessboard in the Sea of Stars that one time."(edited)
  1231. [2:05 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "... What? Is that true?" His eyes glint, his focus entirely upon you, Esker.
  1232. [2:05 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Tell me more."
  1233. [2:06 AM] Eon: "The board was slightly cracked, the pieces were magical, and there was a gleaming object in the Dragon's piece claw."
  1234. [2:06 AM] Eon: "We didn't really investigate more than that, we were wary."
  1235. [2:06 AM] Eon: (should I)
  1236. [2:06 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "... If you are willing to give me the direction to the chessboard in question, I'll point you to a temporary lair I have within the region. You may, upon there, take whatever you wish." He suggests, "As long as your information is sincere and true."
  1237. [2:06 AM] Eon: (introduce dnd to him)
  1238. [2:07 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (He can go down and play with Grave Kappa)
  1239. [2:07 AM] Runic: (kek)
  1240. [2:07 AM] Eon: (keeek)
  1241. [2:07 AM] Eon: Esker will share it truthfully. The path the Spelljammer took, past that sun with that behemoth swimming in it.
  1242. [2:08 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: And he will share with you information on his temporary residence.
  1243. [2:08 AM] Mizuki: "We were busy with other things as well, so yes, we couldn't really check it properly." - Said Alicia taking out a piece of paper she picked up from Grave and writting down the location.(edited)
  1244. [2:08 AM] Bot Fodder: (... did this dude write that dragonchess document Koga made)(edited)
  1245. [2:08 AM] Mizuki: "Here goes."
  1246. [2:08 AM] Eon: "We'll keep you in the know, should we come across more like that." Esker nods.
  1247. [2:08 AM] KogasaGaSagasa:
  1248.  
  1249. [2:09 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... You've learned the secret direction from the Tunnel Complex to the east to the dragon's lair.
  1250. [2:09 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (It was always on the map.jpg)
  1251. [2:09 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (I've been areful to cover it up.jpg)
  1252. [2:09 AM] Eon: "Maybe we should just Dimension Door with the Spelljammer into it. Those tunnels are messy."
  1253. [2:09 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Finally, used it. NotLikeThis)
  1254. [2:09 AM] Mizuki: (:excitedfish:)
  1255. [2:09 AM] Eon: "Remorhazs, were they? A waste of time.."
  1256. [2:10 AM] Eon: Not that she could Druid her way past Remorhazs.
  1257. [2:10 AM] Mizuki: (Koga, I want to meme something)
  1258. [2:10 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: If you have the time to spare, you are able to delve for the treasure that the dragon's lair contain.
  1259. [2:10 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Sup?)
  1260. [2:10 AM] Eon: Hmm? Can't we DDoor with Spelljammer into it?
  1261. [2:10 AM] Eon: We know where it is now.
  1262. [2:10 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Not exactly, exactly.
  1263. [2:11 AM] Eon: And presumably, it can fit the Spelljammer.
  1264. [2:11 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: You have a good direction given, but DDoor requires exact location.
  1265. [2:11 AM] Mizuki: (I want to roll something, to see if Alicia ever heard, or read of such a place dragonchess is of immense importance.)
  1266. [2:11 AM] Mizuki: (like another plane in the multiverse or something)
  1267. [2:11 AM] Bot Fodder: (He's not just gonna give us his treasure, of course~)
  1268. [2:11 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: If you are off by, say, 2 degrees, it can be disasterous. Once you've been there, however, you can likely use some advanced math™ to calcualte the angle to enter.(edited)
  1269. [2:11 AM] Eon: What, Trigo?
  1270. [2:11 AM] Eon: Advanced, sure.
  1271. [2:11 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: :smugpopo:
  1272. [2:11 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Mizu pls)
  1273. [2:12 AM] Mizuki: (and create a link between the campaigns!)
  1274. [2:12 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (mizupls go)
  1275. [2:12 AM] Mizuki: (that would be so fucking cool :sadpopo:)
  1276. [2:12 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (and stay go)
  1277. [2:12 AM] Eon: (we can likely just become Planeswalker post campaign)
  1278. [2:12 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: ( :smugpopo: )
  1279. [2:12 AM] Mizuki: (it would be so immensely cool if we found this dragon on that campaign)
  1280. [2:12 AM] Mizuki: (w-will you let me?)
  1281. [2:12 AM] Eon: "Thank you kindly. Keep in touch, then?"
  1282. [2:12 AM] Eon: She's ready to leave.
  1283. [2:12 AM] Bot Fodder: (Astrea may or may not semi-intentionally have a crossover link to Dreamland)
  1284. [2:12 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: He cackles, knowledge in hand, and departs.
  1285. [2:13 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Anyways, now that you are in middle of everything,
  1286. [2:13 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: want to pause here and decide where you want to go after?
  1287. [2:13 AM] Mizuki: (Ah ;_;)
  1288. [2:13 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Because I am really tired.
  1289. [2:13 AM] Eon: pets Koga
  1290. [2:13 AM] Runic: Lexon says his goodbyes to the dragon and heads out with the rest of the group
  1291. [2:13 AM] Eon: today was great!
  1292. [2:13 AM] Eon: We can stop here if you're tired, I know how it feels
  1293. [2:13 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Short session today, 1k XP for all, including non-participants.
  1294. [2:13 AM] Mizuki: Thanks for the game! Sorry for being so late
  1295. [2:13 AM] Bot Fodder: Thanks, Koga!
  1296. [2:13 AM] Eon: >1
  1297. [2:14 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: muhThreePillars
  1298. [2:14 AM] Eon: Did I get counterjewed
  1299. [2:14 AM] Mizuki: it was still very fun even though I missed most of it.
  1300. [2:14 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: ==================================== LOG ENDS HERE ====================================
