<Keith> mistic ninja delaid sneak attack effect!

Quote 6103

<Chaos`^> Well, he IS going to be an assasin
<Alcar> Well, locals knowing of the sorcerer part would be reason enough to = a quick move...
<Chaos`^> so, he can't have much value on other's life... probably didn't save some kid that fell down a well
<Alcar> So, he killed mom and dad for practise? :p
<Chaos`^> not evil, just not good
<Alcar> "We took him in because his parents died at a young age. In retrospect, we should have wondered about that."
<Alcar> Ah. Human, then :p
<Chaos`^> indeed
<Chaos`^> they threw him out because he was human

Quote 6104

<Chaos`^> Can I make up a village name?

Quote 6105

<Alcar> He has Jet black hair held back by lard and deep brown eyes that travel over every person’s body that he passes.
* Alcar hopes that was a typo.
<Chaos`^> which?
<Alcar> Jet black hair held back by lard
<Chaos`^> it was a joke
<Alcar> I don't think 150lbs is THAT fat
<Chaos`^> ah
* Alcar thought it was a typo for large :P
<Chaos`^> I meant grease
<Alcar> oh. lol.
<Tass> he meant to gel his hair, per say :P

<AlcarDM> barry icks up his dropped weapon as you and Edgar do the Sparkie-Hates-Us dance.

<Marcelo`^> Isn't that an Aoo? I hope it is, atleast ;D
<Tass> (it is :P)
<AlcarDM> (( it is? ))
<AlcarDM> (( that's ..stupid. ))
<Naruto> (If you're doing nothing else, that's lame o_0)
<Keith> (yah he would have to end up in a prone posstion to pick it up)
<Tass> (beinding down to retrieve something off the ground when someone can take advantage of kicking/slashing you in the face? :P)
<AlcarDM> Okay, for sone reason as Barry spends the round picking up his weapon, you can make an attack while he is, uh, stopping to tie his shoelaces and ignoring you....
<Marcelo`^> (( Yeah, I think him bending over to grab a sword makes him a wide open target ))
<AlcarDM> so do aoo :p

Quote 6107

* Marcelo`^ does the I love sparkie dance
<AlcarDM> unfortunately, that only helps you evade his half-hearted slice of his sword.
<Marcelo`^> 1d20+3
<The_Computer> Marcelo`^ 1d20+3: 6(3)
<Marcelo`^> except I don't
<AlcarDM> barry backs up, evading you, and...
<AlcarDM> d20+3
<The_Computer> AlcarDM d20+3: 8(5)
<AlcarDM> missing you, again. He's starting to look afraid.
<Marcelo`^> I think I have the advantage... wanna call it quits and just say I win so we don't do rounds rolling dice?
<AlcarDM> (( hah! He could win. Ask Keith :p ))
<Marcelo`^> 1d20+3
<The_Computer> Marcelo`^ 1d20+3: 5(2)
<AlcarDM> d20+3 - go npc!
<The_Computer> AlcarDM d20+3: 4(1) - go npc!
<Marcelo`^> indeed not!
<AlcarDM> ... screw this

Quote 6108

<AlcarDM> Old Man: "Welcome to the wood. I trust you are not with them and this wasn't a dispute?" mildly, but his eyes aren't friendly.
* Marcelo`^ nods and cleans his mouth on edgar
<Marcelo`^> i.e. spit =p
<AlcarDM> (( okay. That's better tha the mental images it conjured up ))

Quote 6109

<AlcarDM> Barry: "he hit me with lightning!"
<Marcelo`^> "Can druids do that?"
<AlcarDM> Arden: "Druids don't do that. Besides, it takes time.. Not that I have done it, but i saw it done once at a Druid Expo up north. Facinating really."
<Marcelo`^> "Expo?"
<AlcarDM> Arden nods. "Druid gathering. Very rare. I was an apparentice during the last one, but weather working takes time, and is rather obvious." He frowns. "Tho did see storm clouds yesterday. I shall have to ask Quinton about that. Perhaps he saw them."
<Marcelo`^> "Who?"
<AlcarDM> Arden: "My apprentice."
<Marcelo`^> "You said you didn't have one."
<AlcarDM> Arden: "Pardon?
<AlcarDM> Barry looks .. well .... horrified.
<Marcelo`^> "You just told Barry you didn't have an apprentice."
<AlcarDM> Arden: "Of course I do. He's my son. He's 14 you know. Probably should marry soon, but most druids never do. My wife married me, though."

Quote 6110

<Marcelo`^> "YOUR HOUSE MOVEDS!? HOW DO YOU MOVE A HOUSE!?
<AlcarDM> The druid blinks. "I don't move it. That would be silly. It walks."
<Marcelo`^> "Your house walks? What is it made of?"
<AlcarDM> He starts walking south. "Well, it mostly crawls these days. It's getting old. And tired, I suspect. Eh? Wood. It's a tree house. Roots too. My wife quite likes it."
<Marcelo`^> "Your tree moves!?"
<Marcelo`^> "Would it move fast enough for you to lose it?"
<AlcarDM> Arden: "Well, no. I don't think so. It may not have moved at all today. But I walked a lot."
<Marcelo`^> "So YOU'RE lost!?"
<AlcarDM> Arden: "I used to do that with Elize, before she died. We'd just go walking and see what the woods would show us ....." He stops and glowers at you. "I might be. But we're all lost, anyway."

Quote 6111

<Marcelo`^> "So you know where it is?"
<AlcarDM> Arden: "Yes. I believe I said that."
<Marcelo`^> "Then let's go!"
<AlcarDM> Arden: "Why hurry? It will still be there. Or close by."
<Marcelo`^> "I was kind of hoping to sit down sometime.."
<AlcarDM> Arden: "Oh! We can do that now, if you'd like. I don't think Quinton is home yet, anyway. besides, he's with a woman. They might want quality time."
<Marcelo`^> "A woman?"
* Marcelo`^ sits down on a random log
<AlcarDM> The driud sits down on another, and drops the bandit beside the log, who groans but doesn't wake yet.
<AlcarDM> Arden: "Well, yes. Spirited thing, too. Reminds me of my wife. Except for the not being dead part."
<Marcelo`^> "Yeah, that can make them seem differant."

Quote 6112

<Marcelo`^> "Not many women warriors these days..."
<Marcelo`^> "So.. Is she any good?"
<AlcarDM> Arden: "None, in point of fact. Silly mistake, but she seemed determined to remain." He shrugs. "I doubt it since she's a woman. But having see mothers protect children, I think she could be., Give a mother a child to defend, and they'll be unbeatable."
<AlcarDM> Arden: "I once suggested it to my wife. Just tie a baby to their backs, or to a shield, and send them into war. She didn't think it woulod be practical though."

Quote 6113

<AlcarDM> You find the horse and stream a few minutes later. A rather thin horpse is by it, currently eating grass. Lots of grass. And looking to be in horsey heaven (the one with the glue, that is)
<Marcelo`^> (( Are you saying he looks dead, or happy? ))
<AlcarDM> (( very happy :p ))

Quote 6114

<Marcelo`^> I think i like the senile old man better
<AlcarDM> heh
<AlcarDM> thgan?
<Marcelo`^> the angst filled young kid
<AlcarDM> hehe. he's just angry. Most of the time.
<AlcarDM> for some good reasons, mind you. I just wanted a pissed off druid for a fun change
<Marcelo`^> fun change?
<Marcelo`^> you've never HAD a druid, how can you change it?
<AlcarDM> lol. Well, the idea of druids then :)

Quote 6115

<AlcarGM> Marc shakes his head, then whispers "Shadows with legs," quietly, as if the words are being dragged out of him. He stares off into space, somewhere above your left shoulder, not looking at you.
* Dawson takes a quick glance behind him, checking for something he knows he cannot see but is there, like atoms.

Quote 6116

<AlcarGM`> The creature desn't blink and raises one hand, in a peace sign a la Star Trek. You notice it has 3 fingers, oddly jointed. You're not sure if it's metal or flesh. The voice that comes out is strange, accentless and without sex.: "We-are-here-for-the-subject.-Stop.-Please-hand-it-over.-We-can-offer-coupons."
<Billy`^> "What? What subject?"
<AlcarGM`> Thue creature lowerss it's hand and steps backwards, staring up at you in silence. "We-are-here-for-the-subject," it repeats, a little louder. The TV turns itself on again behind you, except there is no static, just smoke coming out of the back of it.... and the smell of burning plastic
<Billy`^> "The tv?"
<AlcarGM`> The creature stands, unmoving. "No-Stop-The-Other-One-We-Seek.-Stop-Not-Human--Question."
<Billy`^> "Could you speak clearly, I can't really understand..."
<AlcarGM`> "User-Interface-Is-Unacceptable-Question."
<Billy`^> "I said.. What do you want from me?"

Quote 6117

<AlcarGM`> She nods. "We could go out. I like pool. I won these clothes in it." She grins. "And money, which is nice, even if it is made from trees."
<Billy`^> "It's not."
<AlcarGM`> Jane: "it's not?"
<Billy`^> "Not trees, but plants... cotton."
<AlcarGM`> Jane: "Well, that makes it better then. It's not like plants feel pain, after all," dryly.\
<Billy`^> "You're saying they do?"
<AlcarGM`> Jane grins, then slowly stops grinning and stares at you. "You're saying they don't?" in a baffled voice
<Billy`^> "Well, no.. BUT if they did, then why don't they tell anyone?"
<AlcarGM`> Jane: "Something has to tell you it's in pain for you to feel it?" She gives you an astonished look. "I think I understand romance now."
<Billy`^> "yeah."

Quote 6118

<AlcarGM`> Jane shrugs. "I don't know. O'Malleys bar has pool, I was told. But they play better there. How well do you play?"
<Billy`^> "I don't."
<AlcarGM`> Jane stares at you. "Why not?"
* Billy`^ shrugs
<Billy`^> "Just never tried it."
<AlcarGM`> Jane: "Chess?"
* Billy`^ shakes his head
<AlcarGM`> Jane frowns. "What about from Egypt? What games did you play to follow the ways of Heaven?"
* Billy`^ shrugs "Pharohs didn't play games."

Quote 6119

<Alcar> "We-are-here-for-the-subject.-Stop.-Please-hand-it-over.-We-can-offer-coupons." was my favouritre line from the session. Aliens trying consumerism.
<Alcar> Ah well. Pretty soon they're going to start to try and convert people. Then things will get weird.
<Alcar> "You-Must-Understand-That- We-Are-Right-Stop-We-Are-lIving-Proof-Of-Our-Way-Stop-Please-Join-Us-Or-Else-Question-T hank-You-For-Your-Time-And-No-Comma -We-Are-Not-Jeohvahs-Witnesses-Hyphen- Or-Puncutation-Of-Your-Choice-We-Never-Met-Him."

Quote 6120

<AlcarDM> Quinton: "How do you plan to get them out?"
<Sheena`-`> "Depends on the situwation, may need a distraction."
<Marcelo`^> "I am really only here because I think these are the people that I was following earlier."
<AlcarDM> Quinton: "Like what?" grudgingly
<Sheena`-`> "Nothing biblical if thats what your asking."
<Marcelo`^> "Biblical?"
<AlcarDM> Quinton: "What's that?"
<Ceseth> (( "What's a Biblic? sounds scary." ))
<Sheena`-`> "Just don't turn anybody into pillers of salt and we will be ok."
<Sheena`-`> "Just don't turn anybody into pillers of salt and we will be ok."
<AlcarDM> Quinton looks offended by that. "Druids don't do that sort of thing."
<Marcelo`^> "Trees."
<Kell-> ((At least not in public))
<AlcarDM> (( Of coure not. but it's great during sex. ))
<AlcarDM> Quinton: "Uhm, or that. Most of the time. I think."
<Ceseth> (( I bet the horse would like the pillar of salt. ))

Quote 6121

<Sheena`-`> I just trealized the perfect Kender formilar would be a pack rat.
<Marcelo`^> haha!

Quote 6122

<Sheena`-`> 1d20+5 (attack if needed)
<Sparkie> Sheena`-` 1d20+5: 7(2) (attack if needed)
<Sheena`-`> damn good thing that wasn't realy needed
<AlcarDM> lol.
<AlcarDM> yeah, coup de grace and all that :)P

Quote 6123

<AlcarDM> Quinton frowns. "How long is she going to take? It's, what, a dozen tents? Maybe she got lost."
<Ceseth> (( Nah man, its men that get lost. Women always ask for directions. ))
* Marcelo`^ shrugs "She has to keep quiet too, so the guards don't hear her."
<Ceseth> (( its funny how slow it seems to go when you're watching the clock for when you have to leave. :P ))
<Kell-> ((I don't think many women would ask directions in the middle of an enemy camp.))
<Kell-> ((Then again....))

Quote 6124

<AlcarDM> inits!~
<AlcarDM> 1d20+2 - jansen
<Sparkie> AlcarDM 1d20+2: 21(19) - jansen
<AlcarDM> (( ooh, happy day! ))
<Ceseth> 1d20+3
<Sparkie> Ceseth 1d20+3: 22(19)
<Ceseth> (( HA! ))
<Marcelo`^> 1d20+3
<Sparkie> Marcelo`^ 1d20+3: 23(20)
<AlcarDM> (( *blinks* ))
<Ceseth> (( LOL! ))
<Marcelo`^> eheh
<AlcarDM> (( what the hell?!~ ))
<Kell-> (*checks sparkie to see if he's sick)

Quote 6125

* Marcelo`^ sprints off into the canyon
<AlcarDM> Where's Marcelo running to again? :p
<Marcelo`^> canyon #2 south
<Kell-> (around in circles)
<Marcelo`^> South
<Marcelo`^> away
<Marcelo`^> far far away
<Kell-> (Confusion tactic)
<Darkkin> (yeah confusing Sparkie)
* Marcelo`^ yells back while running "Listen, just give up the kids and we'll let you go!"
<AlcarDM> 6 of the 10 bandits split off to chase Marcelo and Ceseth, the others going towards jansens body, and Kell :incidentally.
<Ceseth> "It doesn't work when we're the ones running!"
<Marcelo`^> "If you *huff* surrender now *huff* you'll make it out *huff* alive!"
<Ceseth> "Seriously, you know nothin' about intimidation..."

Quote 6126

<FSZGM> Amber out the window you can see large radioactive mushroom clouds on earth.
<FSZGM> Looks like the President was right about the WMDs...
* Wade_Whitehouse slams hard on the brakes, "Whoopsies, almost missed that sonofabtich."
<Makoto> "Wowww, fireworks!"
<Makoto> "Is this for us?" :D
* Amber` stares
<Amber`> "What the fuck is that?!"
* Makoto blinks at Amber. "Fireworks, don'tcha know!?"
<Amber`> "No, it's not! Someone is nuking the planet! I could lose my job!"

Quote 6127

<aslhk> also, the formula is far too simplistic!
<aslhk> it doesn't take other factors into account!
<aslhk> like dice rolling ability!
<The_Computer> And me.
<SnailSlug> 20#1d20
<The_Computer> SnailSlug 20#1d20: 10 16 1 2 11 19 4 3 16 3 8 10 6 18 12 9 13 6 3 7
<SnailSlug> Was that not a fairly random distribution of rolls?
<The_Computer> that wasn't in a game. A game is where I screw a PC over for every session except the last two, give him two crits, one of which nearly kills him.
<The_Computer> No rules take into account whimsey of the dice :)
<SnailSlug> In simpler terms: "No rules take into account the whimsey of God."
<The_Computer> Oh. Well, if you want to put it like that, sure.
* The_Computer is god.
<SnailSlug> A god, perhaps. God, no...
<The_Computer> There is only ONE god, and The_Computer is His Name!
* The_Computer smites SnailSlug for blasphemy
* The_Computer could get used to this.

Quote 6128

<AlcarGM> When last we left Hugh, he'd gone to sleep after a very, very weird day, completely exhausted.
<AlcarGM> You waken about midnight, or close to it, from something that wasn't quite a dream, but neither real. A memory, of Edgar, who died in the war. Who everyone knew you were going to marry.Christmas, they said. He'd be back by them. And you waited. And waited. And his brother came, for a visit. You had sex. No excuses. It could have been love, God knows it hurt enough to be. But they he went too, into the war. And died.
<AlcarGM> You waken to see yourself looking at Emma Colgates face in the mirror, pouring scotch ... but you're not her.
<Hugh`> ...
* Hugh` (( implodes. ))

Quote 6129

<AlcarGM> Owen frowns at the map, then points at the school. <That.>
<Hugh`> "The school? What about it?"
<AlcarGM> Owen: <I can't feel it.>
<Hugh`> "Oh. Well, there was some weird grafitti that showed up on its own one night, so maybe something weird's going on with it. Plus they buried Mr. O'Rye's dog there, and I bet that might have added to any weirdness, if anything."
<Hugh`> "Want to... go with me? Take a look?"
<AlcarGM> He nods. <And this place,> and points to the Diefenbach estate, aka Dawsons place. <There's other places that are hard to feel, like this place. Protected. But those are just ... different.> He looks surprised. <I could?>
<Hugh`> "Well, I guess. We could tell the office we... umm... wanted to let you take a look, while we decide if we want to see about enrolling you, or getting private tutoring. Or some BS like that."
<AlcarGM> Owen: <I'd like that. To see what it is. I've never not felt a place. It's like it's not there at all. Just a hole.>
<Hugh`> "I'm sure some of the students would agree with you on that one."

Quote 6130

<AlcarGM> Okay. The hallway is blessedly quiet., thankfully. You're not sure why you'r enot geting much from inside classrooms but not about to wonder in case you start to :p
<Hugh`> (( Psychic Lead Paint, of course. ))
* Hugh` just walks silently to the nurse.
<AlcarGM> The nurse - Mrs. Sparano - is in her station and nods to you wne you enter. "Good morning. have you been here before Hubert?"
<Hugh`> (( Im more or less just glad Im not picking up ghosts or the Overmind of the School itself, or some such. ))
<AlcarGM> (( not yet :) ))
<AlcarGM> (( give that a day or two :p ))

Quote 6131

<AlcarGM> Over a century of grafitti - the normal kind - adorns them, but they are metal, and well built.
<Hugh`> "Aha! Suspicious! Well, no time for that now." *tries to clear his thoughts and pick the padlock WITH HIS MIND!*
<AlcarGM> Marc: "crowbar?"
<AlcarGM> The door grates slightly, as it rocked. Marc steps back. "It's getting out?"
<AlcarGM> You've cleared the tylenol from your system, but the door still remains locked.
<Hugh`> "No no, that was me. Stupid lock..."
* Tass is now known as Tehn
<Hugh`> "If we had a crowbar, that would be good..." *looks around*
<AlcarGM> Oddly, the school doesn't keep crowbars by locked doors, but there is a janitorial closet down the hallway. Unfortunately, people will be comingout of classes soon.
<AlcarGM> And explaining why you're taking a crowbar to a stairwell might take awhile.

Quote 6132

<Hugh`> (( this is so sketchy its rediculous, but Hugh really doesnt want the evil children from hell eating his brain today :P ))

Quote 6133

* Hugh` runs for the janitor's closet, intending to hide them in it until people get to their classes.
<AlcarGM> Marc follows, hoping you know what you're doing.
<AlcarGM> The door to the closet is locked, of course, but after a good minute of focusing you manage to open it.
<AlcarGM> Inside, a sickly sweet smell greets you and the corpse of the janitor .. or something skinned alive at least, stares at you, eyes open and wide. "Help.. me...?"
<AlcarGM> j/k
<Hugh`> (( X_X ))
<Hugh`> (( jesus dude, that made me jump. ))
<AlcarGM> (( *grins and bows* ))
<AlcarGM> (( Have enough on your plate without walking skinned corpses :p ))
<Hugh`> (( well, thank you for the gesture of mercy there, Alcar :P ))

Quote 6134

<AlcarGM> The students - the normal people - all go back to the class as the uber shy kid with a hole in his head and the half alien prepare to break a door down in the school.

Quote 6135

<AlcarGM> You feel . .something.. down the hallway, around the corner. It wasn't there before..... and it's not human.
* Hugh` grips the wrench like a Holy Avenger or something, and heads down the hallway.
<AlcarGM> Marc just walks, moving a bit uncertainly.
<Hugh`> (( the Ghostbusters get proton packs, but Real Men fight ghosts with wrenches! ))
<AlcarGM> The hallway is dark when you turn, and you instincively watch the shadows, but they don't seem to be containing anything. Ahead of you, in the middle of the hallways, is a black door, darker than the shadows. It's over your waist height, build like a pony, and growls very softly.

<Hugh`> (( door or dog? ))
<Hugh`> (( cause a growling pony door would be freaky. ))
<AlcarGM> (( dog :P ))
<AlcarGM> (( one of those weird errors... ))
<AlcarGM> (( <-- makes a note to add growling doors ))

Quote 6138

* Billy`^ sighs "Now I really do want to know your thoughts."
<AlcarGM> Jane: "It's not your affair, Billy. He killed my sister. So I will kill him, somehow, before the end of the world."
<Billy`^> "If you don't want me to know about it then stop thinking out loud."
<AlcarGM> Jane: "It's simple, really. I plan to kill God."
<Billy`^> "I'm not listening. It's not my affair, remember?"
<Billy`^> "I need more alcohol..."

Quote 6139

<Billy`^> "I need to get drunk.. Maybe it's all a dream..."
* Billy`^ trips and falls on his newly heald hand with a scream
<Billy`^> "Damnit.. that felt real..."
<AlcarGM> Jane helps you to he rfeet, shaking her head. "Don't you know by now that everything is real?"

Quote 6140

* Billy`^ walks in and looks around teh place for aliens
<AlcarGM> You see no aliens, thankfully :)

<Ceseth> "Like I said, Talos'd be a good place, an' it's closer."
<Sheena`-`> "Returning thies people to there village."
<AlcarDM> The desert man shrugs. "Fine, then." and starts walking.
* Marcelo`^ follows
* Marcelo`^ follows BEHIND ceseth =p
<AlcarDM> (( ah! The joys of inter-party trust beginning ))
* Ceseth follows along, gradually heading over to where Joan is, unless, say, confronted by some paranoid person, or something.

Quote 6143

<AlcarDM> A young boy detailed to warn of bandit attacks sees your arrive and runs back to alert the village. The barons men who'd been musteing are rather disgruntled by this but the one Knight with them, Sir Perfluous, greets all of you warmly.
<Ceseth> (( lol ))
<Ceseth> (( puns... heh ))
<AlcarDM> <Sir Perfluous> "Well, it seems you saved us all a journey!" clasping your hands warmly in a knightly and non sexual manner, if it pleases the court. "I am Sir Perfluous, knight of the Baron. May I have the names of the heroes -" he stares at Kell warily - "I have the singular honour of addressing?"

Quote 6144

<Sheena`-`> "We had best wait at the edge of the woods for Mercelo."
<AlcarDM> Quinton lookis over from his own thoughts, as if surprised you're there, and nods. "I guess."
* Sheena`-` finds a tree to lean against
* Sheena`-` looks in the direction of the village while waiting "So now what?"
<AlcarDM> Quinton shrugs. "I dunno. I guess sex is out of the question?"
* Sheena`-` slowly turns her head to give him a cold look.
<Sheena`-`> "Have you ever even meet a woman befor?"
<AlcarDM> Quinton: "Pardon? I've met quite a few. My mother was one, you know," sarcastically

Quote 6147

<Marcelo`^> "So what brings you out here in the middle of nowhere?"
<Kell_> "Bringing enlightenment to the uncivilized in these lands."
<Marcelo`^> "Uncivilized?"
<Ceseth> (( you go, Missionary dude! :P ))
<Kell_> "Who but an uncivilized man would seek to destroy their own past, and their own knowledge?"
<Marcelo`^> "Of what? You're confusing me?

Quote 6149

<AlcarDM> After a good 20 minutes you find yourselves at a rather large oak tree, a good 30' wide at the very least. An old man in a plain brown cloak is outside it, smoking on a pipe with one hand and bandaging a birds wing with the other.
<Ceseth> (( what you dont know is that the bird broke its wing when he hit it with a golf ball. ))

Quote 6150

* Ceseth goes and climbs a tree.
<Kell_> (Get down! it'sa treant, not a jungle gym!)

Quote 6151

* Marcelo`^ nods and finds a nice bush to sleep under
<Kell__> ((Marcello finds out soon enough that that nie bush is actually an assassin vine)

Quote 6152

<Dragon_child> The first was about half-ice elemental hezrou being hit by a critical spirited charge flaming burst +1 lance, I think
<JDigital> Surely that's simple.
<Dragon_child> It brought up questions on how half damage, DR, elemental resistance, and multiplication stack.
<JDigital> oh yeah.
<Dragon_child> JD, Hezrou take half damaeg from attacks, and have DR X/+2
<JDigital> I had a fire-resistant white dragon in my game :)
<Dragon_child> You will not find the order of operations listed ANYWHERE in the book.

Quote 6153

<aslhk> the answer to that question is patently obvious!
<aslhk> Any rules which are not explicitly covered in the rulebook are left up to dm arbitration!
<Dragon_child> Sadly, you're right
<aslhk> That is the official rule!
<Dragon_child> There IS no answer
<aslhk> that *is* the answer =P
<aslhk> it is just that there is not an answer that is consistent across campaigns!
<Dragon_child> Its hard to tell if you're being sarcastic
<aslhk> indeed!

Quote 6154

<Dragon_Child> Hmm. Does it give coherent politics sorta stuff? Most medieval politics don't work in D&D, at all.
<aslhk> how is it that medieval politics don't work in d&d? =P
<aslhk> Are you suggesting feudalism doesn't work!???????????????????!?
<Dragon_Child> Fuedilism just don't work in superhero games.
<Dragon_Child> Once you reach level 5, you're freaking superheroes. :P
<aslhk> If your gm sucks, perhaps!
<Dragon_Child> I love your sarcasm
<Dragon_Child> It makes me angry
<Dragon_Child> because people DO say that stuff

Quote 6155

<AlcarGM> Holmes: "I asked you a question," patiently. He waits. He looks at you. "Is something wrong with - " he looks down at his notebook - "Marc?"
<Hugh`> "He's rather introverted."
<AlcarGM> Holmes: "That does not mean you don't answer questions, young man." Marc looks up and, well, through him. Holmes blinks, a bit disconcerted. "What did you hear?"
<Hugh`> (( Aren't we a pair? :P ))
<AlcarGM> He waits for a good two minutes for a reply, then starts looking very annoyed. He turns to you, keeping calm by reminding himself that smashing students heads into desks isn't proper procedure. "How old were they, and why did you think there would be kids up there?"
<AlcarGM> (( yeah :p ))
<AlcarGM> (( tho it's quite good. He hasn't even thought about asking why you're wearing sunglasses indoors :P ))
<Hugh`> (( if I wanted to be difficult, between us, they'd really lose any desire to question us. Between Marc's general freakiness, and my responding to things unsaid, it would be great fun. :P ))
<AlcarGM> (( oh yeah :) ))
<aslhk> (( it is not a good idea to freak out teh police =P ))
<Hugh`> (( sez j00! ))

Quote 6156

<Billy`^> he's more hard to keep on topic about anything than sarah about absetnance.
<Hugh`> Whats that supposed to mean? I hear Sara can hold quite the conversation about abstinance; specifically how stupid it is.
<Billy`^> no, she'll tell you it's stupid then tell you she doesn't like talking about it
<Billy`^> all you'll end up doing is have her repeat herself... over and over and over and... then she'll jump you
<Hugh`> You know what would be evil? Stealthily fitting her with a chastity belt she cant remove herself :P
<Billy`^> ...
<Billy`^> I'm in
<Hugh`> I'm sure you are, but that hardly gets us closer to accomplishing that. :P

Quote 6157

<Hugh`> (( we need Sara here to scare off the evil monsters with her SEX! ))
<tatterdemalion> (( lol ))
<tatterdemalion> (( Sara: "Cthulhu! Darling! You never write, you never call!" Cthulhu: "No! Not her!" ))

Quote 6158

<tatterdemalion> Ahead of you, before the stairs, is . .something .. like a man, made of razor blades of glass .. just standing ...
<Hugh`> "Oh good..." *looks back at where Holmes dropped his gun*
<tatterdemalion> The gun is gone .. the dog .... is .... shreeded, like someone stuck it in a blender and pureed it into strips of flesh and bone and blood, stretched out over the ground like a butterfly would be, collected.
<Hugh`> "Oh, even better." *Heavy sarcasm*
* Hugh` tries to supress his urge to vomit from fear. :P
<tatterdemalion> The thing of glass blades moves towards the three of you slowly, as if swimming through the air.
<Hugh`> "My kingdom for a brick!" *thrusts his hand toward the thing and tries to shatter it with a sudden strike of psychic force! (yeah right)*

Quote 6159

<Hugh`> "Lance, Holmes and Marc are in danger, upstairs."
<AlcarGM> Lance looks at you. "Lead the way," without hesitating.
<AlcarGM> He practically runs out after you. "Your arm?"
<AlcarGM> Students are staring, and at the sight of his drawn gun leaping out of the way. You catch thoughts like "Woah!" and "Hey, I thought it was students who got to shoot people in schools!" "Hah! My piece is bigger than that wimpy gun" "Oh! Someone new to have Sex with!
<Hugh`> "Later." *rushes back to the scene*
<Hugh`> (( "DAMN IT SARA!" ))

Quote 6160

<AlcarGM> Jillian: "Find the feather of a bird. A live one .Kill the bird, marinate the feather in the blood of the bird and then dry it under the sun for four hours, saying "Jimekiya toy toy toy" 5 times. If you succeed, the feather will seem normal, but dowse you to one touched by the ritual."
* Billy`^ clasps his hands together "Yay! My first spell!"
* Billy`^ frowns and looks at Jillian "Why do they all involve blood?"
<AlcarGM> Jillian: "sooner or later, it all comes down to blood."

Quote 6161

<tatterdemalion> The wound *hurts* by the time you reach your place, and the adrenaline has worn off, leaving you achy and tired, but surprisingly not with a headache
<Hugh`> (( who'd have known the cure for headaches is near-death experiences and curing the insane? ))
<tatterdemalion> (( the people who made aspirin. It's a closely guarded secret and your knowledge of it means the next time Hugh goes to a pharmacy he'll be given a lethal dose of certain illicit drugs ))

Quote 6162

<Billy`^> "I don't know, hey do you know any magic?"
<tatterdemalion> Lance: "With sigils, lots of will, and a gift given to me by someone who doesn't exist. Why do you ask?"
<Billy`^> "I'm looking into creating a ritual."
<tatterdemalion> Lance stops halfway to the car and turns around. "Are you INSANE?!"
<Billy`^> "I've been told that be experts, yes."

Quote 6163

<tatterdemalion> Lance: "Magic isn't some .. some toy you change around. rituals are *old*."
<Billy`^> "That's not what i've been told."
<tatterdemalion> Lance: "Oh? And suddenly you're an expert?"
<Billy`^> "Well... How many experts do you know?"
<tatterdemalion> :Lance: "There are no experts. No one knows, not really. But rituals work,because they do, because of patterns. Onl a mental midget changes those without a damn good reason."
<Billy`^> "What if the universe was about to end?"
<tatterdemalion> Lance: "Then let me know so I can rack up my credit card bill."

Quote 6164

<Billy`^> "So I'm thinking if we boil water, that's three elements there... so if we both chant at the same time that we want information say... six times... We should get an avatar of information."
<tatterdemalion> Jane: "Uh huh.And why do you think this?
<Billy`^> "I don't, I'm just hoping."
<Billy`^> "I mean... it's not much different than the bird ritual."
<tatterdemalion> Jane; "besides having no bird, no feather, and no blood of one?"
<Billy`^> "There is no death involved in this one, so I'm thinking we should get an avatar of life... since water is the source of life too."
<Billy`^> "See, it's all this math stuff."

Quote 6165

* Billy`^ breathes deep and begins chanting over the boiling pot.
<tatterdemalion> Okay. You both chant. And try again. Nothing happens at all :(
* Billy`^ thinks...
<Billy`^> "The cats should join us... Maybe their mewing can help."
* Billy`^ sets the cats on the counter and tries again
<tatterdemalion> Jane: "...."
* Billy`^ looks around the cupboards for some noodles
<tatterdemalion> Uh .. okay.. you have boiling water, kittens on a counter, and you find noodles.
<tatterdemalion> jane is looking distincting unimpressed
* Billy`^ puts the noodles in the water and lets the cats down
<tatterdemalion> JaneL "We could try what she suggested?"
<Billy`^> "Huh? oh right."
<Billy`^> "Hungry?"
<tatterdemalion> Jane: ".... please tell me this is just food, and you don't plan to chant over it, too?"
* Billy`^ looks at the water "It's food."

Quote 6168

<Alcar> Arden: "But enough. We may never know, eh? And if we're lucky, we never will. Are you hungry? My son makes excellent fried mushrooms."
<Ceseth> "Mushrooms? Eh... well, sure, okay."
<Alcar> Arden: "I don't know how it does it, but they're magic too."
<Alcar> j/k
<Alcar> Though it could explain a lot....

Quote 6169

<AlcarDM> Arden walks south quickly, making no noised and leaving no trail or smell save that of the wood itself. He seems to know where he is going and sings softly under his breath for a bit. "Haven't been there in a long time, you know. Lost it."
<Ceseth> "Oh?"
<AlcarDM> Arden: "It should be hard to lose one's heart, but it's easier than you'd suppose. Easier still to give it away to someone, to hope they'll take care of it and give you yours, or return it little worse for wear. But a heart that hasn't been broken isn't rreally a heart, just a clock. Some things can't be fixed until they get broken, so they can be stronger once mended. Have you ever been loved?"
* Ceseth nods.
<AlcarDM> Arden smiles softly. "I remember it, as if it was yesterday. Sometimes, I think it was, or that it still is. But time is beyond magic. She was .... everything to me. You understand that? She made me into someone better, helped me become who I should. Some thing can never be repaid. Nor should they." He chuckles.

Quote 6170

<Ceseth> "So... what should I tell them? Just that 'Something new or something old is coming?' Is there something a little more specific?"
<AlcarDM> Arden: "Hmm. No. They might thing it meant I was conspitated. Let's see. Ahah! Tell them: The sacrifice was in vain. They have found us aqnd the time of choosing is at hand. Oh, damn it. I've planned it for years, to be on the safe side. I'm sure it sounded much better than that."
<AlcarDM> Afrden: "Err, it's from the tell them to time of choosing part. The thing you need to tell them. They will understand. Unless, of course, they don't, but there is no helping some people."
* Ceseth blinks for a second, but then just nods.

Quote 6171

<AlcarDM> Arden: "You ask few questions."
<Ceseth> "Every time I ask a question, I get an answer that just raises more. So I figure I'll just quit while I'm ahead."

Quote 6172

<AlcarGM> FKI, both PCs get 20 exp!
<AlcarGM> I'll workout exp tomorrow or after the game tonight for amount over that for each :)
<Billy`^> gawd
<Billy`^> I don't think i distributed exp from LAST time

Quote 6173

<Billy`^> "Ok.. How about.. we go to that tree outside... and you fly up there and grab a bird or something?
<AlcarGM> Jane stares at you, then nods once. "Fine. Wait here." And walks outside.
<Billy`^> "What? What's wrong?"
<AlcarGM> Jane: "Nothing."
<AlcarGM> in the way that means something is wrong but she won't tell you what it is because you should know via male telepathy or something.
<Billy`^> "Ok."

Quote 6174

<AlcarGM`> Okay, you finish draining them and putting them in plates when Jane returns with a small robin in her hands.
* Billy`^ looks at it "It's so cute... I can't just... KILL it. It's so innocent."
<AlcarGM`> Jane drops it on the table. "It's okay. I lured it into my hands and broke it's neck. Rather easy. Her name was Reil, if it matters to you."
* Billy`^ just stares at Jane
* Billy`^ walks slowly to the other side of the table across from Jane, still staring at her
<AlcarGM`> She looks back at you without expression. "No blood lost yet. So if you have a frying pan we can get to it."
* Billy`^ hands her the empty pot from the noodles
* Billy`^ continues to stare
<Billy`^> "Do you hate the pet shop birds?"
<AlcarGM`> Jane: "Why would i have met shop birds?"
<Billy`^> "Is that what this is about?"
<AlcarGM`> Jane: "What what is about?"

Quote 6175

<Billy`^> OMG
<Billy`^> So, I was reluctant to do it, but she told me to toughen up, when I asked her to do it she gets pissed about me wanting to do it
<Billy`^> THAT IS SO A WOMAN!

Quote 6176

<Billy`^> alcar, can I make a skill called male telepathy? =p
<Billy`^> I wanna put 20% in it ><
<Billy`^> soul, or mind?
<AlcarGM`> Soul, of course. No mind skill is high enough to understand the female psyche
<Billy`^> there, that makes distributing my exp easier... it all went to one skill
<Billy`^> Now when does it take effect? =p
<AlcarGM`> What, you thought it would work?! :P

Quote 6177

<Billy`^> it's an ex
<Billy`^> I figured it out alcar
<Billy`^> she has an ex in the pet shop
<AlcarGM> hm?
<AlcarGM> lol!

Quote 6178

<AlcarGM> Lance: "Funny. What did you do to the nurse then, hmm?"
<Hugh`> "Well, I did nothing, myself."
<AlcarGM> Lance: "So you're saying with you and Mister hole in his head in the same office, nothing at all odd happened like she told me?" dryly
<Hugh`> "It might've been the freaky laughing kids."
<AlcarGM> Lance: Fine. What are they? Why did no one know about them and why in the name of God do you have to get involved in every damn weird thing?"
<Hugh`> "I don't know, I don't know and I dont--- er... Because."
<AlcarGM> Lance: "Because what?"
<AlcarGM> Owen: <He's reminding me of my brother. Mean. I don't like him.>
<Hugh`> <He's just stressed.>
<AlcarGM> Owen: <Oh.>
<Hugh`> "Just because. But in seriousness, it's because I sort of feel... responsible, at times. Plus I think it tried to eat my brain, or something."

Quote 6179

<Billy`^> I'll either intimidate it, or get attacked..
<Billy`^> either way something cool happens

Quote 6180

* tatterdemalion got into the idaes of supers marrying earlier. That's just bad all around.
<tatterdemalion> Stretch Man marries Multiple Girl. Daughter (or son, but then the stretching idea is a bit gross) becomes a porn star, since it's more lucrative than being a super hero.
<tatterdemalion> multiple bodies, stretching, sex.

Quote 6181

<GeminiRai> I am GOOD LIK FISH WITH POWARS!
<tatterdemalion> superfish! Superfish: "I can breath water AND air!" Sidekick: "Doesn't that make you an amphibian?" Superfish: "No! I have powers!"
<tatterdemalion> Sidekick: "I'm sorry. But he's .. dead. He told me. "I a superfish! I can breathe . .vacuum!" And he did. For about 3 minutes. Or he tried to. It was so horrible, seeing him go out that airlock like a fish out of *cough* water. Bastard neve rpaid me, treated me like an intern ...... but it was an accident!"
<tatterdemalion> actually, now I am wondering about pay rates for sidekicks, and laws limiting their working hours like child exploitation laws...
<GeminiRai> It's okay to exploit sidekicks. They don't have powers.
* tatterdemalion is consdering the ramifications of a superhero team all with sidekicks using them for a child porn sex ring.
<aslhk> lol
<tatterdemalion> Which is about as un 4 colour as one can get, I imagine.
<aslhk> tatterdemalion, you are really bad at four colour

Quote 6182

* alcar shakes his head. I'm having images of safe sex for superhumans. "Remember to wear extra-sttrength condoms, especially those of you with super strength. A pregant girlfriend is bad enough, but if the baby kicks and kills her the parents are likely to sue."

<Kell_> Now I know how an arab in dark-age europe felt... :p
<AlcarDM> what, being conquered by invading armies? :p
<AlcarDM> that can be arranged!
<Kell_> I think it already is :p
<AlcarDM> "What, smart? So, they invented 0 huh? And that's special? Any idiot can invent nothing!"

Quote 6185

<Kell_> "You know, your views are almost identical to those of Corinth."
<AlcarDM> Quinton ignores the female. "Who's corinth?"
<AlcarDM> He leaves the "he sounds intelligent" part unspoken :)
* Kell_ smiles, though it's hidden by the sand mask
<Kell_> "Depending on who you had asked, Corinth was a bloodthirsty murdering warlord, or a golden-hearted defender of his land.... He lived anddied around 700 years ago."
<Sheena`-`> "So what did he do to earn such titles?"
<AlcarDM> (( Door to door salesman ))

* AlcarDM grins. He will once he meets one :P

Quote 6187

<AlcarDM> You spend the day walking, following the desert man, talking sometimes. Conversation tends to become scare as the day goes on, as if the desert was sucking up th words you might have said, because they are meaningless in the middle of the vast nothing of the desert Walking. Through heat, and emptiness. Other places are that are quiet, and hot, but nothing like the desert.
<AlcarDM> Here, the emptiness calls out to you, formlessness inviting form, almost compelling you to think of things you never have in years, old friends and others you knew, memories you'd thought forgotten. It's said the desert people are mad, and by the time you stop for the evening, you imagine you understand a little of it.
<Kell_> ((We aren't mad, we're sane, really.))
<Kell_> ((You mean you don't hear the voices?))

Quote 6188

<AlcarDM> * Kell_ touches his chest and says, "Kell."
<AlcarDM> <AlcarDM> (( You know, what would be great is if that was "Kill me" in its tongue.... ))
<AlcarDM> <Kell_> (( Nah, I don't want to have to kill it... yet :) ))
<AlcarDM> <AlcarDM> The creature mimics the gesture, a trifle warily.. "Poitrine"
<AlcarDM> was the best. Poitrine is chest in french.
