  1. [2:16:17 PM CDT] <[Seth]_Sophia> ========================================------========================================
  2. [2:16:19 PM CDT] <[Seth]_Sophia> [After leaving the troll to it’s meal the trio find themselves at an impasse. Up until now the way forward has been relatively simple with the branch paths being only dead ends or inaccessible but now before them stands three forks in the road.]
  3. [2:17:14 PM CDT] <[Multi]_Chun> Well. Which way are we going, girl?
  4. [2:20:04 PM CDT] <[Seth]_Sophia> [The paths split into three separate directions, the left a plain dirt tunnel, the central looking like the original intended path with stone bricks still evident, and the right tunnel decorated in well set stones, torches, and suspiciously a long carpet that extends beyond the curve of the tunnel.]
  5. [2:20:24 PM CDT] <[Seth]_Sophia> I suppose you're not going to tell me which way is the correct way are you
  6. [2:21:21 PM CDT] <[Multi]_Chun> Why do you expect me to know?
  7. [2:22:11 PM CDT] <[Seth]_Sophia> Isn't this your home?
  8. [2:22:38 PM CDT] <[Seth]_Sophia> Anyways, obviously that way is out of the question. That is probably the most blatant looking trap I've ever seen
  9. [2:22:43 PM CDT] * [Seth]_Sophia points down the gilded hallway
  10. [2:23:41 PM CDT] <[Multi]_Chun> I don't live in the /dungeon/! I've lived in the castle ever since his majesty saw fit to put me in charge of the military.
  11. [2:24:00 PM CDT] <[Multi]_Chun> When I did live in the dungeon, it wasn't around here, it was a sight deeper, near one of the magma chambers.
  12. [2:25:16 PM CDT] <[Multi]_Chun> I do agree, though, that even if this well-wrought passage isn't exactly trap, there's likely to be something at the end of it that you'd rather not have to deal with. Anything down here that likes their quarters that luxurious is probably not going to be much help to us.
  13. [2:26:25 PM CDT] <[Seth]_Sophia> What would live down there like that? One of your generals?
  14. [2:27:51 PM CDT] <[Multi]_Chun> Perhaps. An Incubus, maybe, or a high demon. Occasionally, a drow or other spider demon likes to have nice furnishings to wrap up. The odd vampire. That sort of thing.
  15. [2:29:08 PM CDT] <[Seth]_Sophia> You employ drow? I thought they were notoriously difficult to uhhh keep loyal
  16. [2:30:58 PM CDT] <[Multi]_Chun> "Employ," perhaps, isn't quite the word. We keep them around, yes, and it would probably be more trouble then it's worth to get rid of them; but regardless, they can be useful at times, mostly as part of an occupying force.
  17. [2:31:42 PM CDT] <[Multi]_Chun> Once you've captured a town, if it has an extensive enough system of sewers or catacombs, it can be useful to let a few loose and have them set up shop. They make for excellent boogeymen.
  18. [2:33:17 PM CDT] <[Seth]_Sophia> I see, well I would rather not meet a second drow any time soon. My first encounter was enough for one life time.
  19. [2:34:24 PM CDT] <[Multi]_Chun> They can be rather unnerving, it's true. One of the reasons they can be so effective.
  20. [2:34:46 PM CDT] <[Seth]_Sophia> Well that leaves the central path and the dug out path
  21. [2:35:20 PM CDT] * [Seth]_Sophia looks down the tunnel
  22. [2:35:50 PM CDT] <[Seth]_Sophia> It seems whoever originally constructed that tunnel is shorter than standard demons... so I'm guessing it was probably the goblins
  23. [2:36:29 PM CDT] <[Seth]_Sophia> Maybe they were avoiding another predator? why else go through all that effort
  24. [2:37:13 PM CDT] <[Multi]_Chun> Just because the goblins made a path of their own doesn't mean they were avoiding the other path. Maybe they just wanted a shortcut to their dung heaps.
  25. [2:37:25 PM CDT] <[Multi]_Chun> For all you know, they could still be using both.
  26. [2:44:36 PM CDT] <[Seth]_Sophia> I suppose, goblins have been known to dig tunnels for the silliest of reasons
  27. [2:49:08 PM CDT] <[Multi]_Chun> So what's it going to be?
  28. [2:49:14 PM CDT] <[Multi]_Chun> Do we have to flip a coin?
  29. [2:53:24 PM CDT] <[Seth]_Sophia> Well between the safest looking but probably useless option and the one that is clearly meant to be taken...
  30. [2:53:48 PM CDT] <[Seth]_Sophia> !roll d6*3 will
  31. [2:53:50 PM CDT] <FeistyKaka> What are you doing, [Seth]_Sophia? I can't roll "d6*3 will"
  32. [2:53:53 PM CDT] <[Seth]_Sophia> !roll 1d6*3 will
  33. [2:53:54 PM CDT] <FeistyKaka> [Seth]_Sophia rolled: {1}=> 1*3 = 3 "will"
  34. [3:06:33 PM CDT] <[BS]_Rosalyne> I think we should make all the tunnels look like that one.
  35. [3:06:40 PM CDT] * [BS]_Rosalyne points towards the rightmost tunnel
  36. [3:06:47 PM CDT] <[BS]_Rosalyne> This place is too ugly otherwise.
  37. [3:07:40 PM CDT] <[Seth]_Sophia> Hmmm...
  38. [3:07:51 PM CDT] <[Seth]_Sophia> I agree actually
  39. [3:08:14 PM CDT] <[Multi]_Chun> Really? After you rejected it earlier?
  40. [3:08:43 PM CDT] <[Seth]_Sophia> Well I've been thinking about it
  41. [3:09:19 PM CDT] <[Seth]_Sophia> You are strong right Chun? Would you say you are the strongest?
  42. [3:09:42 PM CDT] <[Multi]_Chun> I can't cailm to life more than a minotaur, but I'm certainly not weak.
  43. [3:12:00 PM CDT] <[BS]_Rosalyne> She means in a fight, dummy.
  44. [3:12:04 PM CDT] <[BS]_Rosalyne> It's basically all you're good for.
  45. [3:13:03 PM CDT] <[Multi]_Chun> Right, right. Well, girl, if you're not too afraid to meet a drow with a taste for nice furniture, then we can be on our way.
  46. [3:13:38 PM CDT] <[Seth]_Sophia> There's treasure there, I can feel it
  47. [3:13:58 PM CDT] <[Seth]_Sophia> And treasure means strength. Perhaps something that can help me grow stronger quickly
  48. [3:14:46 PM CDT] * [Multi]_Chun grins a toothy grin.
  49. [3:15:20 PM CDT] <[Multi]_Chun> You're not the only one with a taste for treasure. We may well have to deal with whatever put it there in the first place.
  50. [3:15:32 PM CDT] <[Multi]_Chun> But, after all, it's your decision to make.
  51. [3:17:00 PM CDT] <[Seth]_Sophia> Any objects Rosalyne?
  52. [3:17:10 PM CDT] <[Seth]_Sophia> Objections*
  53. [3:17:37 PM CDT] * [BS]_Rosalyne folds her hands behind her back, swaying on the spot
  54. [3:17:38 PM CDT] <[BS]_Rosalyne> Nope.
  55. [3:17:45 PM CDT] <[Multi]_Chun> Then off we go!
  56. [3:17:54 PM CDT] * [Multi]_Chun begins to walk down the gilded corridor.
  57. [3:22:29 PM CDT] <[Multi]_Chun> !roll 1d6 * 4 Ath
  58. [3:22:30 PM CDT] <FeistyKaka> [Multi]_Chun rolled: {4}=> 4 * 4 = 16 "Ath"
  59. [3:25:26 PM CDT] <[Seth]_Sophia> !roll 1d6 *2 skl
  60. [3:25:27 PM CDT] <FeistyKaka> [Seth]_Sophia rolled: {5}=> 5 *2 = 10 "skl"
  61. [3:37:45 PM CDT] <[BS]_Rosalyne> !roll 1d6*5 lck
  62. [3:37:47 PM CDT] <FeistyKaka> [BS]_Rosalyne rolled: {1}=> 1*5 = 5 "lck"
  63. [3:43:17 PM CDT] <[Seth]_Sophia> Almost as soon as Sophia steps onto the carpet a long blade swings out of the wall. Fortunately the blade was moving sluggishly enough to barely be a threat and Sophia managed to duck out of the way in time. Unfortunately for Rosalyne she was not nearly fast enough]
  64. [3:44:58 PM CDT] <[Multi]_Chun> !roll 1d6 * 4 Ath
  65. [3:45:00 PM CDT] <FeistyKaka> [Multi]_Chun rolled: {1}=> 1 * 4 = 4 "Ath"
  66. [3:45:28 PM CDT] <[Multi]_Chun> !toll 1d6 Stress for Super Evasion
  67. [3:45:33 PM CDT] <[Multi]_Chun> !roll 1d6 Stress for Super Evasion
  68. [3:45:34 PM CDT] <FeistyKaka> [Multi]_Chun rolled: {6}=> 6 = 6 "Stress for Super Evasion"
  69. [3:47:01 PM CDT] * [Multi]_Chun attempts to throw out a stiff-arm to knock Rosalyne out of the way; however, in her attempt to do it without looking, she whiffs, and is forced to double-take backwards and perform a flying tackle, sending Rosalyne to the floor, sprawled underneath her.
  70. [3:47:12 PM CDT] <[Multi]_Chun> Watch your step, oaf.
  71. [3:50:23 PM CDT] * [BS]_Rosalyne cries out like a kicked kitten as Chun lunges right into her, tumbling over face forward with her dress and hair spilling out around her, and whining under Chun's weight
  72. [3:50:27 PM CDT] <[BS]_Rosalyne> So . . . heavy . . .
  73. [3:51:42 PM CDT] <[Multi]_Chun> You either put up with my titanic weight for a minute or you get sliced in half. If you'd rather take the cut, I'll remember that for next time.
  74. [3:51:52 PM CDT] * [Multi]_Chun slowly gets up off of Rosalyne.
  75. [3:52:25 PM CDT] * [Multi]_Chun addresses Sophia:
  76. [3:52:26 PM CDT] <[Multi]_Chun> Glad to see that your reflexes aren't quite so dull, girl.
  77. [3:53:26 PM CDT] <[Seth]_Sophia> Hah, don't look down on those who grew up on the streets.
  78. [3:53:37 PM CDT] <[Multi]_Chun> I would never.
  79. [3:53:45 PM CDT] * [Multi]_Chun continues the march down the corridor.
  80. [3:54:14 PM CDT] * [BS]_Rosalyne picks herself up with a rather considerable huff, dusting off her dress before hurrying to catch up
  81. [3:54:26 PM CDT] <[BS]_Rosalyne> As if I ever expected Chun of all people would ever be on top of me
  82. [3:55:04 PM CDT] <[Multi]_Chun> Enjoy it while you can; it may never happen again.
  83. [3:55:14 PM CDT] * [Seth]_Sophia follows quickly behind Chun quickly taking a quick note of the surroundings
  84. [3:55:46 PM CDT] <[Seth]_Sophia> Shouldn't you two be a bit more friendly with each other? You've known each other for thousands of years haven't you?
  85. [3:56:00 PM CDT] <[Seth]_Sophia> [Upon closer inspection the torches on the wall were in fact ornate candlesticks, large gold leaf framed paintings of a fully armored person in various poses ran down the walls, and the rug itself was fine satan with a gold trimming. The hallway was so loud and garish it almost hurt Sophia’s eyes.]
  86. [3:56:49 PM CDT] <[Multi]_Chun> No, I'm not nearly so ancient. If we had been around each other so long, then we might like each other even less than we do.
  87. [4:00:01 PM CDT] <[BS]_Rosalyne> Only Chun is the old one. It's why she needs so many naps and gets cranky if you wake her up.
  88. [4:00:31 PM CDT] * [BS]_Rosalyne says in an extremely loud conspiratorial whisper "It's also why she can't get on top of anyone."
  89. [4:02:46 PM CDT] * [Multi]_Chun , walking in front of Rosalyne so her face can't be seen, narrows her eyes while her mouth draws back into a pointy scowl.
  90. [4:03:51 PM CDT] <[Multi]_Chun> There's a difference between being unable and being disinterested. The fact that I won't mount anything that moves is simply evidence that I have some discrimination.
  91. [4:06:51 PM CDT] * [Seth]_Sophia steps around another pressure trap now that she knows what she’s looking for.
  92. [4:06:51 PM CDT] <[Seth]_Sophia> Well, manipulation is another form of power isn’t it? I’m not so prudish as to completely shut off that avenue. I just don’t have the... means to explore that route.
  93. [4:06:54 PM CDT] * [BS]_Rosalyne continued stage whisper "Oooooold."
  94. [4:07:34 PM CDT] * [Multi]_Chun rolls her eyes, but doesn't let herself be baited further.
  95. [4:08:24 PM CDT] <[Multi]_Chun> Rest assured, you'll have plenty of means at your disposal should you acceed. It's a method I've used myself at times, though never by my own person.
  96. [4:12:33 PM CDT] * [Seth]_Sophia is about to say something but is cut off by the sound of rapid clicking on the stone floor, far more than a single person could make
  97. [4:12:33 PM CDT] <[Seth]_Sophia> ["My my, what is this? Guests? And here I assumed it were simply another lost band of goblins"]
  98. [4:13:12 PM CDT] * [BS]_Rosalyne sidles up behind Sophia and pushes her forward
  99. [4:13:14 PM CDT] <[BS]_Rosalyne> Introduce yourself.
  100. [4:13:41 PM CDT] <[Multi]_Chun> This is the choice you made, girl. If you've a mind to, now's the time to pray.
  101. [4:17:10 PM CDT] * [Seth]_Sophia is caught off guard by Rosalyne and stumbles forward into a clumsy bow
  102. [4:17:11 PM CDT] <[Seth]_Sophia> "Oh, Uhh, I am Sophia the current demon lord candidate. We were on our way to the demon lord's throne when we saw your home."
  103. [4:19:34 PM CDT] <[Seth]_Sophia> [There is a brief pause of silence before a strange derisive laugh comes out from the darkness. "Oh where are my manners, I wasn't aware that I was in the presence of the next /demon lord/"]
  104. [4:24:45 PM CDT] * [Multi]_Chun keeps an eye on Sophia, watching carefully how she responds.
  105. [4:25:24 PM CDT] <[Seth]_Sophia> ["And is that Chun and Rosalyne I see? Dear me, so many important guests arriving here today and I have nothing prepared for the occasion."]
  106. [4:26:17 PM CDT] <[Seth]_Sophia> !stat roll 1d6 * 3 will
  107. [4:26:34 PM CDT] <[Seth]_Sophia> !roll 1d6 * 3 will
  108. [4:26:35 PM CDT] <FeistyKaka> [Seth]_Sophia rolled: {1}=> 1 * 3 = 3 "will"
  109. [4:27:36 PM CDT] * [Seth]_Sophia laughs nervously along with the voice and keeps her head down despite clearly being mocked. A sudden wave of fear grips her throat preventing her from protesting at the voice's tone.
  110. [4:28:28 PM CDT] * [Multi]_Chun , seeing Sophia clam up, tsks softly.
  111. [4:28:40 PM CDT] <[Multi]_Chun> Oh, don't trouble yourself on our account, just making out way to the Throne.
  112. [4:29:04 PM CDT] <[BS]_Rosalyne> Sophia wanted some decorating tips though. We've agreed that the rest of the dungeon is too ugly.
  113. [4:32:05 PM CDT] <[Seth]_Sophia> ["Well where are my manners, do come in and don’t worry about the traps. Please do excuse the mess, I wasn't expecting such important people so all I have on is these old rags" The clicking approaches until from out of the shadow steps a tall blue skinned purple hair woman wearing a long black dress that accentuates her various curves and leaves little to the imagination. Strangely the sound
  114. [4:32:06 PM CDT] <[Seth]_Sophia> of multiple clicking continue even though only two of her long shapely legs can be seen.]
  115. [4:33:32 PM CDT] <[Multi]_Chun> Well, we're much obliged to enjoy your hospitality. As I said, please, no need to trouble yourself on our behalf, we're merely passing through.
  116. [4:42:36 PM CDT] <[Seth]_Sophia> ["Oh you must stay after such a long journey. I know far too well how hard it is to find a good meal in this dreary place." The lady smirks as she approaches the trio filling the air with her heavy overpowering perfume "Besides I must get to know our new demon lord since she came all the way out here. Lady Lynnea is nothing else if a humble servant after all."]
  117. [4:44:48 PM CDT] <[Multi]_Chun> Oh, no sense in spoiling the girl just yet. She's still under consideration, she hasn't acceeded yet. We're just showing her around the dungeon, and giving her a good look at the kinds of things she'll have under her reign if she does have what it takes to become the next King.
  118. [4:48:05 PM CDT] <[BS]_Rosalyne> Don't be rude Chun. You'll offend her.
  119. [4:48:15 PM CDT] <[BS]_Rosalyne> You don't know anything about what it's like to be a lady.
  120. [4:49:55 PM CDT] <[Multi]_Chun> And if it involves being a doxy, I'm not interested, either.
  121. [4:50:54 PM CDT] <[BS]_Rosalyne> Now you're being extra rude.
  122. [4:52:37 PM CDT] * [Multi]_Chun rolls her eyes with an exasperated growl, folding her arms as a sign that Rosalyne should take the lead, then, if she thinks she's all that.
  123. [4:54:44 PM CDT] * [Seth]_Sophia swallows down her fear and looks up at the demon with a nervous smile
  124. [4:55:02 PM CDT] <[Seth]_Sophia> T-than we accept your gracious invitation
  125. [4:55:39 PM CDT] * [Seth]_Sophia manages to stutter out the words as the prefume causes her a splitting headache
  126. [4:56:16 PM CDT] * [Multi]_Chun sighs in resignation.
  127. [4:59:22 PM CDT] * [BS]_Rosalyne smiles with visible satisfaction, and then seats herself in the nearest comfortable thing, already sick of walking
  128. [4:59:30 PM CDT] <[BS]_Rosalyne> There, now that's better~
  129. [4:59:42 PM CDT] <[Seth]_Sophia> ["Oh don't worry your little head about that Chun, I am well aware of our legendary chaste general." Lynnlea smirks again showing off her perfect teeth]
  130. [4:59:43 PM CDT] <[BS]_Rosalyne> You can't let Chun boss around all your subjects you know. She's far too crude.
  131. [5:00:49 PM CDT] <[Multi]_Chun> I wasn't aware that my chastity was what made me legendary.
  132. [5:01:16 PM CDT] * [Multi]_Chun also takes a resigned seat on a nearby ottoman, her expression none to content.
  133. [5:02:36 PM CDT] <[Seth]_Sophia> ===========================================
